  • JULY 13, 1978/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 3 Blind student reads David Waldrop SECT a help •From Page 1 standing and cooperation from the students. "There's a hell of a job to do and a lot of people who work hard to doit." To be a member of the SECT, a student must have an overall 2.0 QPR and be certified by the State of North Carolina as an EMT or an Ambulance Attendant. The SECT will train students for either the EMT or as an Ambulance Attendant. After training they must meet the requirements ol the state. The SECT members live on the basement floor of Moore building and pay the same tuition as other students. Still, according to its members, the SECT is a rewarding experience. Anyone who would like to become a member of SECT or needs their assistance in any way, can contact them at any time at 293-9944. Go up to Moore and visit the SECT team, learn more about them; someday you may need them. ^t7£-TT4££prrQB S'-u-Wr'A.". •«-? r^r-^rZr- A''< ■ •2**, ->.^JJrC Kim McEachrin thinks junk mail 'exciting9 •From Page 1 New scientific device* for the blind will be demonstrated in the UC Catamount room by Science for the Blind July 19 for students in Project Earl) Uird, a special college orientation program for blind freshmen held each summer al well. The display is free to the public, lelesensory demonstrated new devices for the blind July 12 in room 257 of Killian building. Space age technology isn't all that goes into making a good education and happy life, according to David Walfrop, coordinator of Early Bird and other Programs sponsored b\ I In- Division of Services for the Blind at Western. "Project Early Bird," which has enrolled 34 students this summer, "is designed to prepare blind freshmen to cope with college life just like any other starting Students. Even when the blind students transfer form Western I'm pleased—it means they've gained the confidnece to pursue educations al the colleges of their choice." Early Bird, a joint effort of WCU and the Division of Services for the Blind, is designed to foster independence and self-help in the blind students, not shelter them from everyday problems facing college students. "Mr. Waldrop was always on my back when I was in Early Bird at WCU five years ago," Kim says, "telling me that at the Governor Morehead School (a special slate school in Raleigh for the visually impaired) I had competed well with other blind people. Now it was time to pull myself together and compete with everyone." Kim spent three years at North Carolina Central University in Durham "to see if 1 could handle any college situation." He returned toWestern a year ago. Annie, who was enrolled in Project Early Bird in 1974, will have completed all her undergraduate work at WCU next year. I ailv Bird doesn't otter the blind freshmen a lot ot special treatment. After having survived the rigors of registration, the blind students spend I'm' weeks living in WCU residence halls, eating in the cafeterias and taking regular courses. I'hev are guided around Ihe hilly 300-acre campus for the first few days by sighted students, and those who Can'l see well enough lo use the Visualteks are read lo In student employees. More than 200 students have participated in Early Bird since its inception in 1967 and most have received undergraduate degrees, according to Waldrop. What does the future look like for Kim and Annie? "I'd like to get a job with the federal government," Kim says, "with the Social Security Administration or Internal Revenue Service." Annie says her goals include teaching and a post-graduate degree. For now. Kim is helping Waldrop with this year's Early Bird students in addition to attending summer school. "It's sort of a twist on the biblical 'blind leading the blind' thing," Kim chuckles. It's that sense of humor, Waldrop says, even more than the dogged determination to acheive and the desire to be independent, that should impress "more fortunate" people. A favorite story around the WCU Services for the Blind offices goes like this: A violent thunderstorm had emptied a night class of everyone but the instructor and an Marly Bird Student a few summers ago. The professor asked her if she was waiting for assistance to her dorm room. "No sir. the blind student said. "I was waiting to see if vou needed some help finding your office in case the lights went out." Wanna buy a pussycat?
