  • THURSDAY JANUARY 16, 1975 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN PACE 5 THE I DOCTOR'S ww> BA. G Adress letters to Dr. Arnold Werner, Box 974, East Lansing, Mi. 48823 QUESTION: Why don't men shave their underarms? Wouldn't they perspire less and thus have less body odor to worry about? ANSWER: The question is backwards. It should be: why do women shave their underarms? Shaving or not shaving your underarms will not change the amount you perspire. The body odor of fresh perspiration is not offensive whereas rancid sweat smells pretty bad, hair or no hair. The presence or absence of body hair relates strictly to people's ideas of what looks good, and so is heavily influenced by cultural factor. QUESTION: I have read recent warnings to the effect that if a woman becomes pregnant while using the Dalkon shield and decides to continue the pregnancy, it can be extremely dangerous, even fatal. This is the IUD that was recommended to me and which I am now using. ANSWER: There have been serious complications and even some deaths when pregnancies have occurred with IUDs (intrauterine devices) in place. In terms of absolute numbers there have been more of these with the Dalkon shield. But, there have been so many more Dalkon shields placed in women than other types of IUDs and the total number of complications for the number of IUDs in use is still so low, it is difficult to tell whether the cases reported merely reflect the greater usage of the Dalkon shield or whether they reflect a higher rate of complications, The general recommendation is that if a woman becomes pregnant with the IUD, the device be removed because continued pregnancy with an IUD is potentially hazardous. Removal of the IUD at this time could result in ending the pregnancy. The question of what to do if one does have a Dt.lkon shield in place is answered differently by different people. My own view of a sane and safe approach is to keep the Dalkon shield if it is now in place and you are having no difficulty with it« Most IUD problems crop up in the first few: months of their use, so, if you are past this time and it is working effectively, the odds are good that it will continue to work effectively. Contraception, like mostthings in life associated with pleasurable activitiesj is not free of problems. No method is fool proof, free of hazards, convenient at all times, and requires no thought. Then again, neither is living. QUESTION: I have a rather annoying problem. When I am In a nervous-waiting situation (doctor's office, before a speech or musical performance, itc.) my stomach growls, bowels groan, and the back of my thighs and seat tingle. I often have to run for a john fast, I have been like this ever since I can remember and I am 22 now. Is there any help (or hope) for me? ANSWER: Nervousness before a performance or speech is very common and can result in sufficient changes in heart rate and other cardiovascular phenomena to jeopardize the health of older people with heart conditions. To have anxiety of such a degree that it occurs in many day to day situations is a condition worthy of intervention. Often the anxiety is triggered by fear even though the person cannot identify anything particularly threatening in the situation. Sometimes a set of early life experiences involving humiliations can get such a problem started. If the symptom is as discrete as you describe, it should respond to a rather straight forward program involving some simple behavior modification techniques. The idea is that if you have become conditioned to respond the way you do, you can also be deconditioned. Such deconditioning makes use of verbal techniques and graded exercises. I suggest you give a call to your counseling center or other mental health facility. It was a slow night. 1 spent some time with my head out of a window on Harrill Hall's seventh floor, watching my spittle fall to the pavement below, idly hoping someone would leave the building and walk into my impromptu shower. Lest this admission damage the golden reputation I have with the readers, I want to let all of you know I don't do it often. Just on Wednesday nights when I'm out of ideas. 1 had been wondering why the board of trustees wasn't abolished in the wake of last week's "Answer," but I decided to let those thoughts go. Blood and turnips and all that. Then I pondered the meaning of Les Whitten's presentation in the Grandroom the night before, when he advised us that he and former Watergate Committee minority counsel Fred Thompson had been amazed to find 1975 not yet arrived in Cullowhee. Whitten and Thompson were amazed that beer is still unavailable on this campus, either from a package store or at a university-operated pub. Their observation shook me for a moment. Years of Cullowhee's isolation makes one forget that the entire world is not like Jackson County* Living here makes it hard to accept the reality of an Atlanta or a San Francisco, a Raleigh or a (gasp!) Boone. Indeed, I find myself forgetting that the place is so damned screwed up, I forget that we have to drive 34 miles for cold beverages. Perhaps I actually have come to relish the drive through Balsam Gap into West Waynesville. Perhaps I enjoy being identified as "student" the moment I step out of my car at that discount trailer, knowing that they know full well why I drove into Haywood County. Also, knowing that the highway patrol knows full well why all of us traverse US 19-23 on an otherwise untravelable night. We forget that most American colleges have ready access to the amenities of modern life. Chapel Hill students have been drinking and enjoying it since 1789, or whenever the Univer sity there was founded. Students at N.C. State have to contend with a veritable myriad of beer- oriented eateries and entertainment houses that line up on the east and west sides of the Raleigh campus. But not in Cullowhee. Not in 1975. Not yet. In the jargon of the student development office, I suppose the Fighting Catamounts aren't ready to accept the responsibility that goes with freedom. All we want to do is what students at every other ding-dong college in every other two-bit town across America do. But I guess we aren't ready, yet. In 1968 it was illegal for women at Western Carolina College to appear in public wearing shorts, without first wearing a long coat to hide the scandalous beauties of their God-given legs. That same year, campus security patrolmen actually popped a student for having a six-pack of beer in his car; they used a pass key to illegally enter his parked auto and confiscate the dreaded contraband. Today, we have come a long way. You bet. Today we get to contend with a cross-eyed nit-wit who masquerades as a judge at the local court. Today we have Ralph Dean, a former president of WCU's Alumni Association, suggesting in public that he would like to carry a machine gun into the residence halls to wipe out the sadistic, commie-sympathizing and totally bored students who break windows and shoot off fire extinguishers in the halls. That actually happened here, in September shortly after the residence halls had been renovated. All this makes journalist Whitten's suggestion that students organize for local power even more surreal than it probably is. We can do it. We could have done it 10 years ago. But we didn't, And we probably won't, even by 1985, when the country will have collapsed, after the occupation b.v the Canadians in 1982, But by then Cullowhee will be Canada's problem. Dr. Cosper named co-chairman Dr. Cecil Cosper, professor of curriculum and instruction at Western Carolina University, has been named co-chairman of a statewide committee to study and make recommendations for increased cooperation between colleges, universities, and local Smoke overcomes Harrill Hall r. a. Ronnie H, Gant, a resident assistant in Harrill Hall, was taken to the WCU Infirmary Tuesday night after beingover- come by smoke during a fire in the building's trash chute. Gant, a junior fromGreens= boro, was tryingto get residents out of the building after a 7:50 p.m, alarm was sounded when he was overcome. He was admitted for observation, and is expected to be released today, fined to the trash chute and was never out of control, heavy smoke did force evacuation of the hall, Units from the Cullowhee Fire Departmentandthe Student Emergency Care Team responded to the alarm. The fire was the latest of a long succession of small blazes in Harrill Hall's trash chute. school districts in the preparation of teachers. The study is being sponsored by the North Carolina unit of the Association of Teacher Educators. The committee will study, among other matters, assignment and supervision of student teachers, monetary or other remuneration to school districts or cooperating teachers for supervising student teachers, and teacher education centers. ^COrfTIWUED FAIR AND MILD wrTH WOLD ON.'

There's a student at WCU—wiser, but no sadder—who can tell you all about it, Don Ramsey, director of Student (loverrment Productions, apparently had alot on his mind when he took the money to pay a band that wis planning a concert here, He put the cash, together with $594 in checks, in a metal moneybox and a plastic zipper moneybag, set it on a chair in the main lobby of University Center here, and forgot about it. That was 10 a.m. It wasn't until 3:30 p.m. that he suddenly remembered the money and dashed back to get it, but the chair was empty, Subsequent investigation found that the money had been discovered sometime after lunch by student body vice president Roland Johnson, who had found it and locked it up for safekeeping. None was missing.
