NC 28723 • • ^T^IM t «*L *-ij Swine flu vaccines dispensed in Jackson By Fred Barbour \i leasi 1500people have received swine tin vaccines in Jackson County since they became available last Friday. Vaccines arc being administered by the Jackson County Health Department, WCU. and private doctors. At WCli. vaccines are available at Graham Infirmary between 8a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Nearly 200 people have been vaccinated at the infirmary since Fridav . Dr. Donald O'Neil. director of the infirmary said "We only have a limited supply" of the monovalent vaccine' and a small amount of the bivalent vaccine. O'Neil said the vaccines are being administered "on a First come, first served basis." The monovalent vaccine gives protection against only swine tin. while bivalent vaccine protects against swine tin and Victoria Flu. O'Neil also said he was "disappointed with the whole situation. There was supposed to be enough vaccine for everybody." The infirmary put in an order for 5000 units of vaccine, but to O'Neil's the amount of vaccine W< 11 will eventually receive was only 1000 units. According to Steve Moffit of the Jackson County Health Department. Jackson County receives .04t> per cent of the flu syrum that is shipped into Raleigh, the central distribution point for North Carolina, This percentage is the ratio of the population of the county to the population of the In Jackson County, eight per cent of the units are earmarked for Indians living on the Cherokee Reservation, and the remainder divided between the county health department, WCU. and local physicians. Moffit said Jackson would recieve 65 per cent of the county's need of the monovalent vaccine, and 97 percent of the need for Bivalent vaccine. Moffit said thai these percentages should be enough because he "does not think everybody will want it." He said "we should be able to supply all the vaccine WCU needs." Although some counties have been reserving vaccine for residents only. Jackson county officials said "We haven't turned anyone away who wanted whet the liv he i Sonja Robinson, an industrial education senior from Franklin, NC, gets some practice with a transit. Sonja is one of several women in the School of Industrial Education and Technology who have chosen a traditionally male-oricnled major of study. Her reason? She enjoys the work. |Photo by Harry Duke]. WCU students in non-traditional study areas by Rob Dave Male nursing students? WCU has 13 of them. Female industrial education students? Western has some of them, too. The university also has a man majoring in home economics and many Other men and women in non-traditional areas of study. Students at WCU are part of a nationwide trend resulting in more women in traditionally male classes such as engineering, medicine, law and business. The opposite is true with schools of nursing, home economics, and other traditionallv .'tirollm Dr. Maynard Adams, head of the department of industrial education and technology at WCU, thinks there are two reasons for the phenomenon. "Before, women and men were told that they just 'weren't supposed to do' those sort of things," Dr. Adams said, "and now of course all of that has changed." But he thinks that the economic factor-job security and higher salaries-is more of a determining factor. Mike Sterner, a senior in the nursing program at WCU. agrees. Robinson among top candidates WCU Chancellor H.F. Robinson was last night one of the two men being considered for the presidency of the University of Nebraska three- school system, according to reports received by the Daily Nebraskan Editor-in-Chief Theresa Forsman. Forsman said that the University of Nebraska Board of Regents will meet Friday and have set that day as a deadline for choosing a president. Robinson and the other reported candidate. Howard Neville, current president of the University of Maine at Oronto, last night said they have received no word from the regents. Hunt welcomed On Friday. October 15, 1976 Lt. Governor Jim Hunt, the democratic nominee for Governor of North Carolina, will be at the Sylva Community Services Building from 6:45 until 9 p.m. for a reception, rally, and refreshments. All students from WCU. Haywood Technical Institute. Southwestern Technical Institute and Tri-County Technical Institute arc invited. Forsman. editor of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln's student newspaper, said that originally seven candidates were recommended to the regents by a selection committee. The regents selected one. current temporary Nebraska President James Olsen, who refused the post for a shot at the presidency of the Universitv of Missouri. Forsman said. Yesterday the Daily Nebraskan published a "reliable report" story saying that Robinson and Neville are the top candidates of the remaining six. although the regents have not made the candidate list public. Forsman said Robinson was reported to be one of the top names because "He could make $10,000 more a year here, and former President D.B. Varner suggested his name." Robinson, according to the 1975 base salary figures, makes $38,600 a year here in addition to the use of the chancellors' home and state car pool. As of July, the President of the Universitv of Nebraska makes $47,500 plus the frills. Robinson said that it was all news to him. "I had some friends there...but I like being here among my own kind of people." Robinson said. "I've never had such a warm reception anywhere." he continued."...where I have such a good relationship with the students." "There were a lot of factors it into nursing, but the fact that there is 'much money' in it now had a lot to do with it," Sterner explained. He said he still gets "strange looks" when he tells people that he is a nursing student but he said he didn't let that bother him too much. "There is quite a demand for male nurses, especially in federal hospitals." Sterner added. Dr. Marjorie Baker, head of the department of nursing and health sciences at WCU, said that more men are enrolling in health care programs in the United States now because of the increased interest in health care. Dr. Baker also said that there are more men in nursing now because the role of the nurse in today's society has expanded. Randy Haigler. a Harrisburg. NC sophomore who is concentrating in interior design in the home- economics department at WCU. indicated that the ability to get a job when he finishes his internship was an important factor in choosing interior design. He also enjoys art and drawing, so interior design seemed to be the natural choice to him. Apparently, the students in industrial education and technology don't have to worry too much about finding jobs either. "In industrial technology there are always jobs s." Dr. Adai ond choice, but the! said. "Ma; there He indicated that in industrial educi are more jobs than tiiere are graduates. Since the ice has been broken in crossing traditional lines, enrollment in non-traditional are is appears to be on the rise. Both Dr. Adams and Dr. Baker, along with educators throughout the US agree that there is a trend. But trend or not. one industrial technologv education student summed up probably the major reason why more women are switching lo tradition ally male roles and more men are switching to traditionally female roles. "It's a challenge and I love the work." Sonja Robinson, a Franklin senior said.
