Nuke Disarmament Issue by Ashley Osment Nuclear disarmament was the issue presented in the University Forum, Oct. 4, in conjunction with Peace and Justice Week on campus. David Mcl.intock of the North Florida Peace Fellowship was the guest speaker. The 7 p.m. forum began with a film. "The last Epidemic," produced by Physicians for Social Responsibility, an organization that advocates an end to nuclear proliferation. The general theme of the film involved the medical consequences of nuclear weapons and nuclear war. A number of speakers were featured in the film, each pointing out specific consequences that can be expected in a nuclear exchange. These consequences ranged from severe third degree burns suffered by anyone within the area of an expolsion to the widespread destruction of the earth's ozone layer with the deployment of only ten percent of Soviet and U.S. nuclear weapons. Mcl.intock, a former Nuclear Weapons Delivery Instructor for the U.S. army, spoke after the film statine that the concept of deference was "overworked and not even a practical term." Advocating an immediate nuclear freeze, Mcl.intock cited examples from the 1981 Department of Defense Annual Report that the U.S. has a lead in the arms race in terms of deliverability and the capacity for human destruction. He said the defense report stated the existence of a "rough parity" in nuclear arms that logically would mean that now is the best time to enact a nuclear freeze. Defining nuclear freeze as the cessation of any further production, testing and deployment of nuclear weapons, Mcl.intock said that an immediate freeze is crucial because in the I980's both the U.S. and the Soviet Union are developing "launch-or-warning". "first- strike", and "counterforce" weapons that will "substantially increase the exchange of a suicidal nuclear exchange." Following McLInock's speech was a discussion debate about the issue of a nuclear freeze, with students expressing similar, diverse and opposing views to those of Mcl.intock. David McLintock of the IM. Florida Peace Fellowship Photo by Mark Haskett Forensics Society To Travel by James Utt Dr. Kathleen Sandquist has announced plans for the WCU Forensics Society to travel to at least nine tournaments this school year. The team is scheduled to visit Appalachain State University. Ball State University in Indiana, and Southern Georgia University this Fall semester for regional and national competition. Dr. Sandquist, also Exective Secretary for the Carolina Forensics Association, says that Western Carolina University's team is recognized locally and elsewhere. The forensics team has traveled to much of the East Coast and Midwest. Even with Forensics Club's inpressive record, it has had very little publicity in the past and many people do not know what forensics is. It deals with speech-giving, persuading, and communication in general, not to mention diction and clarity of speech. Forensics has been helping people to develop or improve their, communication skills. The society is open to anyone interested and meets every second and fourth Wednesday in the ground floor of Hoey Auditorium. The Forensics Society is also sponsoring an on- campus tournament for WCU students on October 27 and 28. Those interested should stop by Hoey room 122 next week and pick up an enterance form. Categories of competition include: Speaking. Extemporaneous Speaking. Prose and Dramatic Interpretation. Anyone wanting more information should contact Dr. Sandquist at 7491. Anyone interested in being in the Forensics Society can attend any of the meetings. The Society also plans to attend conferences at UNC—W, Wingate College, Berry College, Old Dominion University. The National Forensics Honor Society, Pi Kappa Delta, is sponsoring its annual tournament in Denver, Colorado and the Western Carolina University team will be there. •Tv Western Rifle m^ Photo by Tim Schutz Team There are many problems for an athletic team participating in competition. The problems range from how well the people can compete to getting enough support and or funds for the team. The Western Carolina University Rifle Team laces a big problem that many people do not ever think about-a place to practice. Captain Gary Longman and Sergant Ray Aylesworth are the leaders of the Varsity Rifle Team. With eight chosen individuals divided into two teams, they represent Western Carolina in the Southern Conference in rifle marksmanship. I he main problem that the Rifle Team has to overcome is the lack of practice area here at Western. Each week, the team has to travel to the Clyde armory, which is a sixty-mile round trip, to practice. While the WCU Team gets to practice around three hours a week, other university teams practice three hours a day, due to facilities at their school. Ihe new Regional Center planned for Western's campus will include a rifle range, but until then, the team will have to travel out of their way to practice. The rifle team competes in group meets by shooting at a distance of fifty feet (or ten meters) at small targets. They use special target .22 rifles for the competition. Even though the ROTC sponsors the rifle team and provides the coaches, the team is open to all students. Players Of The Week by Russ Randolph Players of the week for the Western Carolinian and WWCU-FM are as follows: As the defensive player of the week the coaching staff voted unanimously for 6'1", 220-pound Nathan Williams, a senior from Landrum, S.C, This is the second time this season that Williams has received this award, and if you saw him play at East Tennessee State last Saturday night, you know why. Despite an "off" night by the Catamount defense against the Buccaneers last week, Williams was very instumental in holding the Bucs when the Cat defense had to. "We played somewhat flat on defense last week," said Catamount Coach Bob Waters, greatly on him for senior leadership, and he never fails to provide it. I look for him to get even better as we progress in our Southern Conference schedule." After five games. Williams has made 19 solo tackles, 21 assists, and had broken up one pass play. He has also been credited with three quarterback sacks. As the offensive players of the week, the coaches all agreed that it was a tic between Ronnie Mixon and Mark Womack, two very key players in the Catamount backfield. "Both Ronnie and Mark played very tough against East Tennessee, and both of them deserve this honor," added Waters. "We didn't play a very good ball game up there, but on offense it was Mark and Ronnie that kept us going when we needed to be going." Mixon connected on 20 of 31 passes for 233 yards against East Tennessee. In all, the Cats trailed three times in that game, but behind the passing and running of both Mixon, Womack, James, and Dorsey, Western was able to put Dean Biasucci in field goal range, and of course, Biasucci came through in a clutch for a win. To date, Mixon leads the Southern Conference in passing with 982 yards. He has completed 73 of 153 passes for a .477 average. This is the second time that Womack has been named player of the week, thus indicating that he's doing something right. According to Waters, it was not just Womack's running that boosted the Cat's offense last week, but it was also his key blocking on several running plays that helped the Cats pull out the victory. To date, Womack has carried the ball 11 times in five games for 48 yards rushing. He is averaging 9.2 yards per carry, and his longest run has been nine yards. The Carolinian sports staff salutes these well- deserving players for their fine efforts thus far this season. Let's all support our team as they attempt their first Southern Conference Championship Crown. Defensive star Williams top right, Mixon (8) and Womack bottom, (photo by Mark Haskett)
