Bill Dillard...Clarification of The Controversy July 15, 1982/Western Carolinian Dear Editor: Since the contro\ers\ in regard to Western Carolina Universit) 's competition with local business has arisen, I would like to clarify some items. I am only one of a number of businessmen and women who ha\e expressed concern. 1 was asked to be the spokesman for the group at a meeting held July 8, 1982. 1 v, ish to emphasize that this group of people are longtime supporters of Western Carolina University. Many of these people have worked to help W.C.U. Some were here when most of the University's students were from western North Carolina and most of the contributions came from local citizens. Those citizens ha,ve been forgotten and cast aside. I myself have very close ties to W.C.U. My father walked to and from the shadow of Sugarloaf Mountain, near Balsam, each weekend and batched in an old shack at Cullowhee with his two brothers for four years without missing a day to get his education. I attended W.C.U. when there were only 275 students and had classes in old Joyner Building under Professor Madison. I myself have only recently returned to school at W.C.U. and hope after six more hours to get that degree that was interrupted by four years of flying for the Air Force. 1 hope this battle doesn't delay it any further. My mother attended W.C.U. Three of my sisters attended, five of my children have attended at one time or another. I have a deep attachment to W.C.U., and it makes me very sad to see the present chancellor ignore those people who for over ninety years have supported this institution. W.C.U. belongs to the taxpayers and the citizens of North Carolina, not to a chosen few. We have a right to be concerned if we believe the administration of the Universit) is wasting money or violating the law. It is a shame that the present administration is unwilling to make any atempt to cooperate with the business people of Cullowhee and Svlva. 1 wish to assure this administration, the faculty, the students, and the alumni and citizens of Jackson County that, even though we are questioning certain acts and policies of the University, we do support, believe in, and care lor the University and intend to continue to work for the best interests of W.C.U. Sincerely, Bill Dillard "...He may be more of a feminist than myself" Dear Editor It is not often my priviledge to meet and talk to people with whom one feels a kind of kindred spirit. It is indeed a pleasure to come to know that there are people out there who support our needs, understand us and appreciate us as people with a special point of view. I have realized from talking with this person that he may be more of a feminist than myself which came somewhat as a surprise to someone who considered herself a feminist long before it became widely accepted. Inclosing 1 would like to say I am glad that we have people such as yourself living in Cullowhee, You make life here a little bit better for all of us. The reason for my not wishing to identify the person by name is two fold; I don't wish to embarrass him, and I am sure there are other men in Cullowhee to whom this could equally apply. Sincerely, Wendy A. Wood from page one this and that, but that doesn't take any brains. They're quick, but when it comes to making decisions and when it comes to sticking to things...I'm not saying there aren't exceptions, there are, but very seldom and if there are exceptions, they usually havealot of white blood in them. That's the way it is. It's just the way it is...There's some races have it and some don't. That's all there is to it. If the blacks don't have it, apparently neither do orientals, as Mr. Brouwer is of the belief that "if a Chinese marries an American, all generations from then on would be oriental. The white race would go right out." Brouwer went on to express his views on the Ku Klux Klan. He explained the history of the Klan as he knows it. His opinion of this organization is vague as his last statement in the following quote contradicts his first. Brouwer said. "I think the Ku Klux Klan, I don't approve of the Ku Klux Klan, no, not what their doing... After the war, the Civil War... and the South was, of course, destitute, and they sent in carpetbaggers and they absolutely, talk about raping a country, they did it. And they put blacks in charge, where blacks would confiscate white people's property and everything else. The North did it to the South. The only way the South could stop it and protect their, they were raping the women, they were doing everything, was just like communists taking over and they put the bvlacks in power and as mayors of the cities and all this sort of thing. And how could the whites protecte themselves against this? They started the Ku to page three Hydrophobia A Public Service Of your University Health Service The question of rabies is uppermost in the mind of a person bitten by an animal. 1 he main carriers of rabies are wild animals, especially squirrels, skunks, racoons, bats, and foxes. Rabies in a pet dog or cat is rare, although extensive tissue damage may occur and infection may result after a bite. Also, because many bites are puncture wounds, tetanus is a problem for considering. Rabies, or hydrophobia, is an infectious disease due to a virus. It can be transmitted through the infected saliva of a rabid virus. It can be transmitted through the infected saliva of a rabid animal whena bite occurs or even when a rabid animal licks an open wound on a human or nonrabid animal. Indications that an animal is rabid are variable and may be misleading. The animal may be irritable, may drool from the mouth, and may be clearly dangerous. On the othere hand, it may be quiet, oartially paralyzed, stuporous and even affectionate. The animal suspected of rabies must be restrained so that it may be observed. This is so that it may be determined whether the animal develops the final stages of the disease. Do not kill the animal unless it isabsolutely necessary. If you must kill the animal, take care not to damage the head that msut be examined by public health authorities. Get help from the police, a veterinarian, a physician, or local public health authorities as to how long the animal thought to have rabies should be observed. An animal in the final stages of rabies will develop some of the signs of the disease within 48 hours and will usually usually die within a few days after those signs appear. There is no known cure for rabies once its final stage symptoms develop. If the animal proves to be rabid, vaccine therapy must be given to build up body immunity in time to prevent the disease. Any person who is bitten by an animal thought to be rabid should take no chances and should get medical care immediately. Doctor's hours are Monday through Friday 9 am-12 pm and 1-5 pm.
