  • THURSDAY APRIL 10, 1975 ►♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦<-♦♦♦♦ THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Vthe DOCTOR'S BAG\ bif AimU Warn, %. 7). I Address letters to Dr. Arnold Werner, Box 974, East Lansing, Mi. 48823 QUESTION: This is not meant to be a vulgar question but, when a man performs cunnilingus on a women is it possible for his mustache to grow faster. In my experiences I have noticed this to be very true. Is there something to this or is it just my imagination? ANSWER: A number of years ago a researcher reported that his beard hair increased in growth during a period of time when he anticipated having sexual relations. It has also been noted that the rate of growth of hair varies over time,, But it seems that you are speaking of a specific isolated effect since you are not refering to your beard or your head hair. You have presented one of the more unique and, I suppose charming, notions I have heard in recent years, but one which appears to be quite impossible. **************** QUESTION: Just how harmful is caffeine, and how much of an improvement is caffeine-free coffee? We've had a number of discussions on the debilitating effects of coffee, cocoa, tea and Coke and would appreciate an informed opinion. ANSWER: Caffeine is an effective central nervous system stimulant and is present in all of the beverages mentioned,, Coffee contains the greatest amount and tea, while containing less contains other potent chemicals that are closely related. A cup of coffee contains about 100-150 mg, of caffeine, a therapeutic dose of the drug. The usual cola drink contains about 35-55 mg. of the stuff as does cocoa and tea0 In addition to alerting effects, caffeine increases gastric secretions, increases the production of urine and increases heart rate. The usual one to three cups a day of coffee that most people have doesn't seem to be harmful, although some people who are extremely sensitive to the drug are bothered by even this small amount. As the intake increases, there is a greater chance of developing irritableness and nervousness (sometimes perfectly mimicking anxiety), palpitations and other irregularities of heartbeat and symptoms of gastro-intestinal irritation all the way up to development of duodenal ulcers. In fact, people with duodenal ulcers are advised not to drink coffee or other caffeine-containing beverages. Caffeine toxicity is not unusual, as many people consume huge amounts of coffee. Children in particular are highly- sensitive to caffeine and the amount they consume should be quite restricted. The decaffeinated coffees circumvent most of the side effects under discussion. Of course, they dont do much to keep you awake and alert either. However, in part because of the familiar taste and odor and in part because of other constituents which are not filtered out, many people find caffeine-free coffee to be a good substitute for the real thing. The fresh-brewed variety (as opposed to the instant type)'N is indistinguishable in taste from regular coffee. *************** QUESTION: I would like to know if insertion of a tampon before stimulation of the clitoris by the penis would in any way act like a contraceptive prohibiting any sperm cells from getting into the vagina. Is there anything else that could be inserted to block the occasional release of semen. ANSWER: A tampon is not an effective contraceptive. The type of petting you describe so closely resembles sexual intercourse that one is hard put to make a real distinction. Certainly pregnancy can occur if ejaculation is that close to the vaginal opening. The best thing to block semen would be a condom worn by the man or a diaphragm and contraceptive jelly used by the women. Contraceptive foam used by the women will also be effective though less so than the two previously mentioned methods. The combination of the condom and contraceptive foam is highly recommended. Page 7 j Talent hard to find; Friedan 'not suckered in' by Michael Tuggle WARNING: This column on politics and the arts pretends no objectivity. Libertarian- ism will pervade political comments and the only honest critical commentary, "ars gratia artis" (as opposed to the ultra-relevant dribblings which pose as poetry), will be employed in artistic concerns, SHORT poetical works are welcome, and may be submitted, typed, for crying out loud, to The Western Carolinian office, or to me, Box 623, Cullowhee, N.C. 28723. Finding peotry that won't bore a person to tears is hard enough, but finding people who have talent AND will surrender their work to the public is even more difficult. I captured one good untitled poem from a student who wishes to keep his name out of print, but I must say this much: he is a history major, which shows that a scribbler of decent capability need not devote himself to journalism or English. It follows: Iron ax swings through the air Arcs over thick sweaty shoulder, Slams against oak wood, chips spin Away—the oak wood, chips spin Away— the oak totters—a man pulls on ropes—Slowly, tentatively, the oak slowly glides—Momentum speeds—gradually-Broken light blinks down through saw- dusty air Branches clash and splinter crescendo—dead limbs tangle downward along the tortured fall And the giant oak heaves itself upon the vibrant earth He leans upon the ax and wipes his face: Building a shelter is work e- nough— A nation can come later. Fairly good craftsmanship. The writer's diction is effective almost to the degree of sensually re-creating the fall of a huge tree. Read it again and note the onomatopoeia, undeveloped as it may be, and the strong imagery in the way the homesteader or whatever notices the effect of the moving tree on the sunlight. MEANWHILE, IN THE ENEMY CAMP: Remember streaking? And Nixon? And all those things that everyone just loved and then POOF! No one could care less or changed their mind? Well—seems that after a gung-ho and effective piece of lobbying which hurtled it through Congress, and the mystique of the bandwagon, the ERA is doing the same as its bra-burning advocates—sagging. Point of information: I do not equate genuine women's rights with the militant wing of the so-called feminist movement. But equal rights (as people are now realizing, means equal responsibilities- see Solon of democratic Athens) are not desirable between the sexes, as the American people are beginning to realize. Thirty-three states ratified the ERA in about 18 months—thirty-eight were required to make it a part of the Constitution-»but in the past year, only one additional state has ratified it, SEVEN have rejected it, and three have reversed their original approval. FURTHERMORE: Mrs. Betty Friedan (alias Ms. Betty Friedan) has recently won a $13,300 judgement against her former husband for delinquent child-support payments. The poor guy didn't have a chance in any courtroom, if you ask me— the law states that a man is burdened with the maintenance of his family, But he tried, He claimed he was under stress when he signed the agreement. Having seen pictures of Ms. Friedan, that is understandable. Plus: "This is not the case of a starving mother and child; she is a world famous woman with an income of $40,000 a year." Congratulations, Betty. I have always admired a writer who wasn't suckered in by his (or her) own propaganda. AND FROM ' THE WHITE HOUSE: President Edsel has reminded U.S. to do something which reflects America's roots, in dedication to the approaching Bicentinnial. I plan to do so by camping out this weekend in the Smokey Mountains, pioneer style. It may be my last chance before the Arabs buy them. Fifteen track members have wallets looted Fifteen members of the WCU track team lost varied amounts of cash and pocket change when someone looted the team's dressing room late Friday afternoon while the team was practicing. Coach Paul Jones said that the team had individual "bin- type" lockers in the dressing room that cannot be locked. *t*r&cup,,m? ainT w te®><*-ftw [m\-mwmh law?" He said that the door to the dressing room had been locked when the team left for practice, The incident was reported to WCU traffic safety and security office when the theft was discovered. One of the team members, Levy Lennon 111 had an old $100 bill in his wallet that was stolen. Later Friday, Lennon contacted the two banks in Cullowhee and discovered that a man had cashed a similar $100 bill in the Wachovia branch bank. Lennon then contacted Pritchard Smith, director of traffic safety and security. Smith said yesterday the bank teller gave him a description of the man who had cashed the bill and his name. Smith then contacted JamesMike Wil- lett, who had reportedly cashed the bill, Smith questioned Willett about the money and asked to search his apartment in University Village Apartments. Willett agreed and Smith, along with officer Dave Bennett, searched the apartment, Smith said that none of the track teams's wallets were found, but he said, several other items similar to ones reported missing at the university were found. One ©f the items was an electronic calculator, valued at over $400 dollars, similar to one that had been stolen from the WCU history office last vear. Also found were two, commercial, public address system speakers similar to ones stolen from the first aid room at Whitmire Stadium earlier this year. Lennon has charged Willett with one count of grand larceny, and Smith said he has charged Willett with two counts of larceny, for both toe calculator and the speakers, He was arrested Friday, and later released on bail, WCU atheletic director Bob Waters said that this robbery was not the first. He said last spring the entire football team including the coaches had money taken from their lockers. Also, several physical education classes had also been robbed, but he insisted that there is adequate security in the dressing rooms and locker rooms.
