2/Thursday, May 2,1985/THE BLUE BANNER £[Daira>[a[ii\[L Thanks to all For the last 27 issues of The Blue Banner, I, the writer of this column, have used the editorial "we"' as I endeavored to speak for the editors of this publication. Today, however, for this, my last entry, I choose to descend to the personal "I" since my remarks are my own and do not spring from the collective consciousness of the editorial board. After today's edition, the Banner will have a new editor. Penny Kramp, who, I feel confident, is going to make great strides in carrying this student newspaper ever nearer to the ideal. Without her, and without the others who have served on the editorial board this year, we could not have progressed to our present point. Therefore, to her and to the others — Sylvia Hawkins, Dale McElrath, David Proffitt, Anne Snuffer, Chris Streppa, Anna Wilson, and Colin White — I give my heartfelt thanks. I also extend it to all our staff; and especially to our advisor, Cathy Mitchell, who never failed to spur, and sometimes goad, us on to a closer approximation of the journalist's elusive goal — perfec tion. In addition, I must express gratitude to the other professors who have^iven me invaluable help and advice, most particularly Bill Moore, Dr. Alan Hantz, and Dr. Milton Ready; to Steve Meserve and Iwanna® for helping us get everything together and printed each week; and also to my family for supporting me. Most importantly, I must thank God, to whom I owe everything, and who is the One who has never failed me in any crisis. During this time of remembering, I look back on the five semesters I have spent at UNCA studying and working on the Banner, and I feel lucky to have had this experience, to have known the people I have come to know, to have learned the things I've learned. This is the third university I have attended over what has been a long and disconnected college career, and I believe it to be the best of the three. I am therefore proud, although a little sad, to be graduating from the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Admittedly, this is not the usual sort of editorial. Probably one could only term it such by stretching both the truth and the imagination. However, it is the truth of the moment for this departing senior, and I somehow imagine you to whom this paper has addressed itself this year will understand. UaQg .u;.

Sulock says thanks for 'Good' Dear Editor: I am sure I am speaking for many others in wanting to thank Arnold Wengrow, the actors, actresses, musi cians, and behind-the-scene workers for their recent production of "Good," The wonderful cast did more than justice to a lively script, entertain ing us at every moment. But we left the theatre richer even for the warning of "Good" than for the great pleasure of almost experiencing a story so well told. Dorothy Sulock Idathematics Department RM arrives to counter VW Dear Editor: (This is a note to VW*s) RM is a group of personages who upon finding themselves neither to be versatile, nor feminine, nor desirous of becoming either of the two; and who, upon finding themselves to be in mutual possession of the common middle name of Gus; have bonded together in an ulti mate state of rigidity to dispel the irrational urge to behave childishly cliquish. RM is the masculine answer to ver satility and, above all, no RM will ever fail to acknowledge the existence and subsequent presence of another human being upon those chance meetings which may materialize as a part of so cial experience. Nor will he, because of any un founded and illogical idea that for some reason he is of better quality or more enlightened than anyone else, behave irrationally cliquish. * v Gus
