  • Feedback Deja Vu Ah, memories! A few short weeks ago, I was innocently sojourning from my home near the quaint hamlet of Tuckaseigee campus when a sudden wave of nostalgia hit. there, right before my eyes, was a familiar scene. Bulldozers everywhere! mud! Traffic hazzards! Somehow, I seemed to have been magically transported through time to the front of Scott Dorm In the year 1978! Fortunatly, the attack subsided rapidly, and I realized that I was In front of Albright-Benton, In 1980, where massive and violent sidewalk renovation was taking Dlace. The thing that brought me back Into reality was the car rapidly approaching head on in my lane, trying desperatly to avoid the bulldozer blocking the road and threatening to run him over. It seemed that no one was directing traffic, although during Morning rush hour a good number of commuters use Dick's Gap road. This situation could indeed cause a rather nasty altercation between two autos. Please don't get me wrong, dear reader! I was placing no blame on the workers. These folks had it rough enough during Labor Day. It seems that according to the officials in the High Tower, all "Non-essential" university personnel had Labor Day off. However, these poor folks were destined to spend Labor Day starting to replace the sidewalk. While indeed it must be nice to be thought of as'essential', I think we all agree that replacing a sidewalk might could have waited another day, thus giving us yet fewer oopportunities to be mauled by an on-coming car. Although we can't replace the holiday they lost, at least we may be able to keep them or someone In a car from being injured. Putting a person out there to direct traffic would be worth the added expense, and might possibly help an over-burdened traffic system. Hopefully, if someone rectifies this situation, maybe the only nostalgic trips we take will be through looking at old yearbooks. - R. M. Dorm Wars Dear Editor, I am really dismayed by the nonsence that the students of Harrill and Albright/Benton dorms displayed Tuesday night. The students participated in a yelling fight between the two dorms. This creates alot of built up anxieties within the student body. As a senior at WCU, 1 have seen these arguments come and go. If this is the only way for the freshmen to relieve their frustrations I would like to make a suggestion, wtiy don't the men in the dorms get their act together and constructively plan a decent panty raid. This not only relieves frustrations, but also keeps the men from yelling at mens dorms. It is about time that WCU had a good panty raid, or in that same aspect we could use a good jock raid too. The students may need to get rid of their frustrations so why don't they get together and do something as a whole, not as a bunch of individuals. Sincerely Name withheld by request Storage A Ripoff Guest Editorial By Michael Grooms If you have anything too cumbersome to carry home with you next semester think twice before putting it into University storage. First of all, the University encourages you to take all of your belongings home. According to Doug Kanipe the store rooms in the dorms are not specifically designed security-wise for the storage of student belongings. This is simply not their primary function. Secondly, the University can in no way be held responsible for the damage or theft or loss of any items stored during the summer months according to the storage contract. At the beginning of the semester two Buchanan residents. Vivian Mills and Lisa Jones, were made aware of the no-responsibility clause of the contract when they returned to find that some of their belongings were missing. They contacted their Area Coordinator who contacted Kanipe and Security. None of their belongings have been recovered and they have received no compensation. Since storage is a privilege one has to pay for, ($10 for three parcels), these two young ladies in effect, paid for having their belongings ripped off. Brilliant Satire Review by Dr. H. Edward Price Tuesday evening the Sociology/Anthropology Department is showing the film version of a brillant satire on the usually somber topic of death in American Society. The film is entitled "The Loved One", and it stars Johnathan Winters playing the role of a preacher and promoter of a giant cemetery and funeral home in Los Angeles. The fact of death is never mentioned to the clients by the staff of the funeral home: the deceased is referred to in the presence of the family as "the loved one." The denial of death in American culture is also represented by the embalming and cosmetic treating of the dead to make them appear as lifelike as possible. By contrast, one of the staff members of the funeral home, Miss Thanatogenesis, is so in love with death that when she realizes the living are unbearably corrupt, she embalms herself. The cemetery's sanctimonious director, played by Johnathan Winters, is only in love with himself and with money. He proposes that once the gravesites are full, the profitability of the land should be maintained by bulldozing it and turning it into a retirement community - a place for the dying, rather than the dead. Other aspects of American society satirized in the film include our obsession with space technology and Hollywood's image-makers. Balked at converting his graveyard into a playground for the elderly, Winters has the brainstorm of keeping the funeral business going by putting the corpses into orbit. In a side plot, an aging Hollywood art director, fired by his studio, commits suicide in his swimming pool, even though it is cracked and won't hold water. In the ereat tradition of satire, the film ridicules all refusals to look facts in the face, including the tact ot death. This refusal may make life more pleasant for the living, but not for the dying. Until Americans learn to accept death, they will continue to be terrified when finally in the presence of it. "The Loved One" will be shown in the Natural Sciences Auditorium at 7:30 on Tuesday, September 23. Admission is free. Followup In last week's Carolinian, it was reported that a connection is suspected between hearing problems in children and bacteria populations in ground water drinking supplies in western North Carolina. According to Steve Berkowitz, Environmental Engineer at the Center for Improving Mountain Living, such a connection has yet to be proven, although it also cannot yet be discounted. Last summer, student interns at the Center determined the source of drinking water in the homes of 12 children from Jackson County and 25 children from Haywood County who all had some form of hearing impairment. If a substantial majority of these children came from homes served by wells and springs, instead of city water, a connection with bacteria in the water might be suggested. City water, being chlorinated, would not be expected to have as high bacteria populations as would rural well and spring water. Findings were inconclusive. One-third of the Jackson County children with hearing problems surveyed and two-fifths of the Haywood County children surveyed were from homes on city water. Further tests are planned for this fall to get more conclusive information, one way or the other. Children in Head Start and daycare programs in Macon and Jackson County will be systematically screened for hearing problems. At the same time, the type of water supply at each child's home will be identified. Follow-up water tests will be made, if warranted, to better isolate the problems. Recommended preventative measures cannot be specified until more conclusive results are available. Center studies have shown, however, that bacterial contamination is a recurrent problem in many private water systems in Jackson County and in other western North Carolina counties. Spring supplies are more difficult to protect than wells, and have been found to be much more susceptible to contamination than well systems. If you suspect problems with your water supply, contact your county health department for a free water sample for recommendations on how your supply can be improved. Good morning Cullowhee. It's time for Breakfast once again. Enjoy-life's too short to be miserable. RWS Editorial Viewpoint ...By Tony Cole ; Western Carolinian/September 18; 1980
