njjflistlingf jC)ixie ft Every year we get letters and all sorts of remarks con cerning the playing of “Dixie” and this year is no excep tion. Lateiy there has been much controversy on cam pus, ranging from personai converations to dorm dis cussions. It is a pretty touchy subject and the feelings about it are definite.... and personal. In reality, one finds that the rivalry between North and South is, by no means, in fun, as evidenced by the hostility that insues from such a discusson. There have been cases where dscusslons have become arguments and arguments have become fights— and we’re back to the Civil War. It’s very political— whether you like it or not. You can’t get away from what the Confederate flag and “Dixie used to mean. It represents an unfortunate time in history, after all, I’m sure the Jewish people wouldn’t groove on someone waving a swastika flag at a ball- game. It’s the same principal. Last year some members of the Pep Band were verb ally and physically attacked because they didn’t play “Dixie” with discretion. They did so and a disturbance errupted. Now this, keep in mind, was because they didn’t play the song. If not playing it causes trouble and playing it also causes trouble— what do you do? The song carries with it certain racial overtones. It is absurd to play the song if It might cause unnecessary friction or ill feelings. It was once used to indicate racial bias and in some places it represents a time when a race of people were suppressed and humiliated. Some people take the song as an insult, some take It as a morale-booster. I take it as unnecessary. peace, Laine Calloway 3^txie ^^onirovers^ Ityeatens A group of students, reportedly numbering around 30, verbally and physically attacked members of the Pep Band as they left the gymnasium last Saturday night fol lowing the game with the Western Carolina University Catamounts. According to John Gideon, Phi Mu Alpha President, (the Pep Band is voluntarily sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha), the disturbance erupted because the band had not played “Dixie.” Let It be known that the band has been advised to play “Dixie” with discretion. It Is a little-disputed fact that “Dixie” carries. In the minds of some, racial over in a situation on the “Dixie.” court Their tones. It Is pointless to play the song which might cause unnecessary friction or ill feelings between two schools. As It happened several WCU players were blacks; the band chose not to play decision was levelheaded; they are to be commended. The students who participated in last Saturday’s bush whacking demonstrated reckless irresponsibility; their behavior was Inexcusable. According to Gideon, should a similar attack be launched against the volunteer band, the band will stop performing at games. Who could blame them? The Editorial Board Chaos ramsacks the mind, in one’s feeble attempt to grasp reality, reaching out for that which is no longer there, in the confusion of uncertainty. Who am I?
