  • ►<*♦* THURSDAY APRIL 24, 1975 ►♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦•♦♦♦♦4 ?the t ! DOCTOR'S j BAGl I bif A*mU kJeuu, %.2>.\ Address letters to Dr. Arnold Werner, Box 974, East Lansing, Mi. 48823 QUESTION: My question concerns what effect, if any, the pill might have upon a woman's sexual response. I have been taking birth control pills for about four years continuously. Initially I experienced no problem in enjoying the sex act; lately I have had difficulties which appear to me to be physical, rather than psychological in nature. By difficulties I mean that normal vaginal" secretions seem to be almost non-existent. This often makes for an extremely tight and painful sensation during intercourse. Is it possible that the pills are affecting me adversely after taking them for four years? ANSWER: One of the side effects of birth control pills can be a decrease in vaginal secretions, I have heard other women say that this has occurred after taking them a while, although not having been present initially. The best way to find out what is happening is to visit your doctor and change to an alternate form of birth control for a period of time to see whether or not the situation remedies itself, QUESTION: I'm not unhappy with my weight (145 lbs., 5'10" tall). But I would like to re-distribute some of it because I am getting a bit of a "pot-belly", I would like to know if wearing a weight belt (8-10 lbs.) for a few hours a day would tighten up my stomach muscles, I've tried touching my toes 200 times a day but that didn't work. ANSWER: Your weight is fine for your height, and I doubt if the problem is one of redistribution. In people of normal weight, pot-bellies are a result of decreased abdominal muscle tone and poor posture. Long periods of time spent sitting also make things worse, Weight belts are not advisable. They are unbalancing, can throw your posture out of alignment and produce back trouble. Exercises that can be done in your room include sit-ups, which strengthen abdominal muscles and push-ups which improve posture. Some people have trouble doing sit-ups. They can be aided by anchoring their feet under a piece of furniture and/or doing them with the knees bent. Bicycling, swimming and jogging are other exercises which will improve your abdominal muscle tone, QUESTION: I have a chronic case of blood shot eyes whenever I smoke marijuana, I'm representing a lot of stoned students by asking "Why do people get red eyes and how can we correct the situation without reducing our consumption?" ANSWER: In a sense, the answer is obvious in that there is something in the marijuana which causes the small blood vessels in the whites of the eyes (sclerae) to dilate. Normally, these blood vessels are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye, but when they dilate, they become quite apparent. There are a variety of eye drops on the market which contain blood vessel constictors which clear up the red eyes. My understanding is that they are a stock item in the medicine cabinets of marijuana users. As you probably know, the occasional use of marijuana has so proved to be a harmless activity for most people, though illegal. Daily or frequent consumption of marijuana however, might be associated with a variety of psychological problems and /or changes. QUESTION: Is it common for women to feel a sensation of thirst while approaching orgasm? Although I routinely experience this, I have never seen it discussed. ANSWER: Nor have I. It seems to me you would have to approach orgasm for an awfully long time to become thirsty. On the other hand there are so many unique reactions to sexual stimulation involving so many senses, I am not surprised to hear that thirst might be one of them. Sensations of thirst often accompany a dry mouth which can be produced by mouth breathing, the type of |b£eathing_usual during intercourse. Professor reinstated after being suspended THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 'Nomad', poetry discussed; ROTC editorial attacked Page iCPS)--A woman faculty member who was suspended because she breast-fed her (laughter in a faculty lounge has been reinstated. Child development professor Kusanne Holliday of Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA was suspended in November after she was cited for 13 violations of a college rule forbidding faculty children to be on campus during class hours. The rule was passed last spring by I he college's board of trustees after it decided that the Holliday precedent would cause other college employees to neglect their duties to nurse their children. Arbitrator William Green, to whom the Holliday-Southwestern grievance was submitted, said that the charge "unprofessional conduct" dismissed unconditionally that the suspension should stayed for three years perhaps permanently. Green said that while Holliday violated the trustee's ruling, her refusal to honor that policy "did not amount to an effective attack on school administration," since her action produced no adverse effects on the college. Holliday has resumed her leaching duties, but her daughter stays with a housekeeper since she is now old enough not to require the frequent nursing which created the controversy. ByMKHAELTUGGLE The WCU handbook puts it this way: "The NOMAD, a collection of literary and artistic works, is published by the Scribbler's Club of WCU, It is representative of ALL TYPES of literary and artistic works produced by students and faculty," So the NOMAD advertises itself. One uninspired but devoted scribbler donated two poems; one was a pleasant bit of free verse, the other in a form called a sestina, which is a medieval poem of a highly structured pattern of end words (i.e. of each line). Both were rejected. Mr. William Paulk, the NOMAD's advisor was disappointed that it was not accepted. On a whim, I asked Mrs. Suzanne Yelton, the poetry editor of the NOMAD what a sestina was: "I don't know, What is it?" One would think that a poetry editor would at least know of the several forms that a poem may take. How, I ask, can one make a judgement whether or not to publish a poem with an inadequate knowledge of the field? I know of one staff member who wasn't even informed of selection meetings, invalidating the claim thataperson should join the staff if he .'she wanted to insure that his, her poems, prose would be published. It should be MERIT of the work that decides whether it is used. And what do we gel? The cover is suffocatingly overloaded with S. Yelton's Beardsley baroque, and the inside is saturated with the NOMAD staff's work, I'm not saying that their writing can't be improved — a luncheon date with Lucrezia Borgia would help immensly. But that is too much to hope for. Perhaps ACTIVE faculty participation will improve the quality of future NOMADS, Below are two poems by Ann Plemmons. The first is very good: her use of rhyme and slant rhyme in the natural form of A X A in the repitition of the central image, "Sun warmed and Blind," is effective, and reminds one of Wallace Stevens' sparing use of rhyme in "The Emperor of Ice Cream". Sun Warmed And Blind There's nowhere I'd rather be than to be lying naked and freed next to you—somewhere kind— with eyes closed sunwarmed and blind. Maybe on a hill—a grassy knoll— and when I wanted you I could just call and the wind would carry to wherever you'd walked to study and think over whatever we'd talked and when you came back 1 could venture my time— and I'd close my eyes tight and be sunwarmed and blind. The second is weaker, because its appeal rests mainly in its sensuality than poetic innovation or diction. My loneliness stems only from my pen I'm used to you, you know, your face in the morning- I'veseen a thousand times. Hearing you run upstairs to meet my squeaky bed—and greet my smiling face. And, It's uncommon- disquieting even, not to hear you urinating, (at least once a day) near my ears, plus your smell of heavy plaid, brown and white and black, (like the shirts you wear) and I can walk around you nude and act like I don't even care. See, I'm used to you—you know? Not long ago , an editorial appeared in The Western Carolinian which slated that a campus of exclusively Anglo-Saxons, Protestants, and heterosexuals would be stifling to a true academic atmosphere. For true intellectual freedom, it is necessary to have a great many options of activities on campus. I agree. So what happened? Last week, the same editor announced his opposition to ROTC on the WCU campus, What happened to the argument that diversity makes for a better-rounded campus? How can one defend Women's, Black's, and gay rights to representation in the name of open-mind- edness and oppose an equally viable group? It is fashionable these days to oppose the military, but we must remember that it is a career that appealed to such diverse personalities as Andrew Jackson, George Marshall, Douglas MacArthur and John F. Kennedy, (EDITOR'S NOTE: Not to mention Hitler, Mussolini, William Calley, etc)
