  • NOVEMBER 9, 1978/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 13 Carol Acuff- a republican in a democratic office Student receives legislative experience by LANE GARDNER Staff Writer Carol Acuff, a 21 year old WCU senior from Spruce Pine has recently completed an eight week educational internship. From August 7 to October 1, Carol worked in the offices of western North Carolina's congressman, Lamar Gudger in Washington, DC. Carol was rewarded not only because it was a learning experience. She was stipended for her time and also received academic credit. Congressman Gudger chooses one student every three months from the four colleges that offer degrees in his district (WCU. Warren Wilson. UNC-A and Mars Hill). That means one student is chosen from Western each year. Carol was Western's representative for 1978. She was chosen after applying through Western's CAP (Counseling, Advisement, and Placement) Center. Carol explained the selection process. "Several students from all different departments, not just political science, applied for it (the internship). They narrowed it down from the applications to a group of students, then they interviewed. "There was a board set up of different faculty and administration members. They (the board) spoke with the applicants and then sent their choices to Lamar Gudger's office in Asheville. Gudger said yes or no by looking at the application and recommendation. By that I was chosen." Carol began her internship by working three weeks in Gudger's Asheville office and five weeks in his Washington office. She pointed out that the Asheville office deals mainly with phone calls (requests, complaints) and the Washington office deals with correspondence. "In Asheville I was expected to answer the phone. After the first week I did a couple of my own cases meaning that people call in all the time with social security problems, veteran problems, etc. I was supposed to trace down why the person was having a problem and help expediate the whole process." Carol was in Gudger's office during the time of the vote on the ERA extension. "I took all calls from people who were pro or con or just had some comment to make about the ERA extension. 1 compiled a list of those people who were for it and against it. "Then, when I got to Washington, after the vote was taken, I wrote a letter to those people on my list. I told them how Mr. Gudger voted and included some nice sentiment to make them feel good no matter what their position was." Office work did not take up all of Carol's time. She explained. "Mr. Gudger introduced me to people that would help me get into law school. He set up days that I would spend with all the federal agencies in western North Carolina. "While I was in Washington, he set up different interviews. I could go talk to congressmen that I always Little Rascals dominates sports The Little Rascals of the International League and Harrill 4-5th floor dominated the Intramural swim meets last week. The Rascals team took individual and relay victories in seven of the eight events. The Harrill team finished first in four of seven events in competition held in Reid Pool. Individual stars for the Little Rascals were Tim O'Connell with wins in the 25 yard butterfly, and the 50 yard freestyle. Larry Shields won the 50 yard backstroke and 50 yard breaststroke. John Gaston added a win in the 100 yard Individual Medley. Team victories for the Rascals came in the 100 yard medley relay, with the team of Robert Kinsman, Tim Hartman, Tim O'Connell, and Rick Dillon, and the 200 yard freestyle relay with the Kinsman, Dillon, O'Connell, and Larry Shields combination. Steve Winters of 4-5th Harrill lead his team by winning the 50 yard backstroke and 50 yard freestyle. His teammate Scott Beaty won the 50 yard breast- stroke and nearly lost the 25 yard butterfly to 6-7th Harrill's Mike Gilmore, 13.9 to 14.0. Winters and Beaty teamed for a victory in the 50 yard inner tube relay. Gilmore won the butterfly and helped his club to wins in the 100 yard medley relay, and the 200 yard freestyle relay. wanted to meet. He let me sit in on hearings that were generally closed. "He made it possible for me to go to the address that President Carter made with Begin and Sadat." Being in Washington for five weeks. Carol was exposed to a lot of politics, politicians, and government. Asked if any of her ideas or opinions changed, she said, "Really thev did because I guess I was a little naive about Washington—in awe of congressmen and senators. Just being around them I found that some people pushed their weight around and some didn't." Meeting and working with Congressman Gudger, Carol had definite words to say about him, "I guess I'm a little prejudiced now, but I think Mr. Gudger is a terrific person because he took a personal interest in me in making sure that I got all the benefits I could out of the internship. "I'm a republican and I came to respect Mr. Gudger (a democrat) for his views. So that did change somewhat. "Other that that, as a political science student, I was fairly aware of how party politics and our government work. "I got to see things first hand. And as much as you could learn in five weeks, I think I took it in." In regard to the intership program itself, Carol said, "I would recommend anyone applying for this particular internship because they do choose one student from Western each year. "I would recommend internship to any student. Period. If you've been functioning like I was for three and a half years in a college community, you just don't have any concept of what the outside world is like. And the internship brings it home to you.
