  • TheVfestern Carolinian THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 29, 1977 Vol. XLIII, No. 6 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Resolution 612 sparks hot debate Controversy marks s Senate opening by DAVID JACKSON Senate Reporter The WCU Student Senate welcomed its newly elected members Monday evening and immediately engaged itself in a heated debate over the controversial senate resolution 612. The bill proposed an amendment to the SGA Constitution providing for senate approval of the vice president's appointments of senate committee chairpersons. Although the amendment was overwhelmingly approved by the students of WCU in last Tuesday's election, it has yet to be approved by the Board of Trustees, which doesn't meet until November 10. Sen. Plan/, suggested that the senate adopt the amendment as policy immediately even though it is not official vet. since it was accepted by a majority of the student body. After a bout of parliamentary combat, it was decided that Vice President Brown's committee appointments would stand as introduced, and the senate moved to other business. A resolution was introduced which, if passed, will re-establish the Bookstore Investigation Committee which is looking into the possibility of having used books offered at the bookstore at suitable lower prices. Another resolution now being considered will require faculty members to pay a fee for services they are now receiving, but not paving for such services as WWCU radio, the Western Carolinian, and the Catamount. Presently, students pay for such services with part of Mountain Heritage Day had something for everyone, is artists, craftsmen and women, talent of the greatest variety, and the usual resident nuts came from everywhere to participate. See today's center-section for details and a photo-spread dedicated to Mountain Heritage Day, 1977. |Drew Clark Photoj Former deaf student sues school A lawsuit has been filed against UNC system President Dr. William Friday, WCU, and Dr. H. F. Robinson, WCU chancellor, by former WCU student Jimmy Crawford. Crawford, who is deaf, filed the suit because he claims the university refused to provide him an interpreter. "An inquiry was made as to the availability of special funds, and we have no funds," Dr. Robinson said. All Carolinian Staph Writers and Photo-typesetters should be in Joyner 10 at 7 p.m. TONIGHT to discuss assignments, schedules, and the new 3 p.m. Tuesday deadline for copy. Anyone not showing up will be attacked upon sight with l.vsol. N.C. Assistant Deputy Attorney General Betsy Bunting is representing the school, andCrawford is being represented by Seymour Dubow and Marc Charmatz of the National Center for the Legal Affairs for the Deaf in Washington, D.C. and Greensboro lawyer Norman Smith. Crawford, originally from Asheville. is now teaching at the N.C. School for the Deaf in Morganton. Dr. Fiday. who has 25 lawsuits pending against him, last week said. "I am unaware at this time of the case at all." He has been advised by Ms. Bunting not to nt further. Robinson was also advised not to in directly about the case. hut said, e done more for the blind than any other i the state system." and that aids for all handicapped people at Western "arc a few years away of course, hut wc hope to have it done in the near future." The case should be coming before the U.S. Middle District Court within the next few months, according to Bunting's office. their required fees, while the faculty pay nothing. Unfinished business left over from last Spring Quarter was also discussed, including a resolution which deals with the possibility of allowing a Resedcncc Hall Hearing Board to review appeals of the collective assesnicnt policy in residence halls. According to the policy in question, all students living on a hall are held financially responsible lor damage to the hall when the culprit cannot be identified. Final note of senate happenings - Sen. Joyce Allen of Buchanan Hall resigned just before last week's elections, hut she was re-elected by the residents of Buchanan Hall even though she didn't even campaign. She has accepted the position again, and had decided 1 WCU suffers from ringworm In his "Bicentennial Nigger" album Richard Pryor said that in order to "be cool" in his group you had to have ringworm. This type of humor has not been such a laughing matter lately as a small outbreak of ringworm has hit WCU. Dr. Donald O'Neal, director of Graham Infirmary at WCU said "we have had a fair amount of ringworm at the campus." Ringworm has not caused undue alarm from O'Neal as he said, "it is simply a fungus of the skin." As a result O'Neal has been more concerned with the upcoming flu season. O'Neal mentioned there was a rather widespread case of flu last year as. "an average of 200 people a day" visited the infirmary. The "classic influenza case," as O'Neal phrased it, has not hit the campus yet, but an outbreak at any time would not surprise O'Neal. "There's no way to predict when it will happen, if it even does. It could possibly never even occur," O'Neal Even though O'Neal expects the outbreak to come, the infirmary is not planning to give flu shots this year. O'Neal said, "we really don't need it. The students here are relatively healthy and last year, even with the swine flu shots, which were free, they were not well used." Another small 'epidemic' which has hit the campus has been monoucleosis. "We've had four or five cases but that's to be expected at a college campus." O'Neal said. Mono can be spread by a person who is a type of "Typhoid Mary." meaning they are carrying the disease without any knowledge of having the disease. The symptoms arc much like influenza; sore throat, enlarged throat glands, fever, and aching are the most common. Of these people. 80 per cent of them also contract a spleen enlargement along with the other symptoms mentioned before. Despite what many believe, "the kissing disease" is not most widely spread by kissing. "It is usually transmitted by droplets such as coughing. Of course, it can be transmitted by kissing as the close contact is definitely there," O'Neal said. O'Neal has also been leary of a possible outbreak of measles as they had a slight case of it last spring. He is particularly worried about rubella (German measles) occurring with the females on campus because it can cause a congenital defect with her baby at birth. The diseases arc here at WCU; only not in anv type of epidemic form. O'Neal is hoping it will stay that way.
