Editorial 3 March 4,1982/ Western Carolinian The sixties were remembered for the war in Vietnam and the unrest that stemed from it. The fifties were remembered as the good ole days, even though we had a war in that decade also. The seventies are remembered for many things: the end ol the war. the Watergate scandal, the changing of our lives that was a direct result of the energy shortage. Wht will the eighties be remembered for'.' With the exception of the change of Presidents and the policy changes that always occur when that office is handed over, there has reallv not been a single earth- shattering event that has occured in this decade. I he groundwork for those events is being laid now Will the United States be able to stav out ot a war or "police action" foi an entire decade'.' Ihe signs arc not good. In a recent survey, over Viewpoint r>i Jim Buchanan 60', ot the American public stated that they believe war is inevitable. \s the Reagan Administration has so trequently claimed, problems are indeed inherited trom administration. Waf mav not occur during President Reagan's lost term in office, but surely he or his successor will be saddled with manv problems created bv the gearing up for war the current administration is undertaking. The saber-rattling that preceded \ietnam is taking place now in Washington. And once again, the administration often seems to be unsure of what is going on in a foreign country. N anvone reallv sure what is going on in El Salvador'.' Much of the research that was presented to the White House and in part prompted White House (and in part prompted our current foreign policv) has alreadv been disproved Yet, there has been no backing down bv the Reagan Administration on this or other issues that sparked public controversy. I he ability to admit a mistake is not a trait the Reagan Administration has vet to learn. Meanwhile the public must hope that the future ot this country is in the right hands. To Encourage, Recognize I want to call your attention to the Distinguished leaching Award for which we are now seeking nominations. The purpose of this award is to encourage, recognize, and reward superior teaching and meritorious performance. Teaching faculty members in their third year of service or longer at Western Carolina Universitv are eligible to be nominated for this honor. Previous recipients are ineligible for consideration, for a second award for a period of five years. In order to be considered for the final selection, candidates must be nominated by both faculty and students, with nominations to be received during the period of March 1-10. 1982. This year, a single recipient will be selected and will receive an award of $1,000 cash. Also, a Patrons cf Quality Scholarship will be presented in his or her honor. In addition, the top nominee from each School will be identified. A Public Service Of Your I niversity Health Services A Reminder from SELECTIVE SERVICE If you are a male citizen, or alien residing in the U.S., you must register with Selective Service within 30 days of your 18th birthday. If you were born in 1960, 61, 62 or 63 you should already have registered. If you have not, you should do so as soon as possible. There is a grace period for late registrations without penalty in effect through February 28, 1982. You may register at any U.S. Post Office.

BACTERIA.OR AN Al I I RGV This is the central question that applies to complaints of "stomach flu" as well as the upper respiratory ailments such as sore throats, coughs, nasal stuffiness, earache and swollen glands. Ihe fact to remember is: Viral symptoms and allergies do not improve with treatment bv penicillin or other antibiotics, lo ask lor penicillin lor a cold or allergy is not onlv a waste of monev and time, but is also increasing vour chances ot a "superinfection** when specific bacteria are eradicated. Medical treatment is however required for bacterial infections such as strep throat and ear infection. Symptomatic care is onlv treatment for viral inlections and allergies. I hroat cultures are necessary to identify streptococcus; however, the results will be altered if patient has been taking antibiotics Ihe Clinic is open to telephone calls and emergencies 24 hours a dav. A registered nurse is on duty lor health assessments and treatment trom 7 am until 10 p.m. Doctors' hours are Monday through Friday from 9 am. until 12 p.m. and trom I p.m. until 5 p.m. The Dangers Of Radiation Ballots for students will be available in the lobbies of both Brown and Dodson Cafeterias, second floor of the University Center, the Student Government Office and in all departmental offices. We have been pleased with the outstanding individuals chosen to receive this award in previous years. Previous recipients for the last five years are: Roger Bacon, Gary Pool. Jennie Hunter. Jerry Cook. James Bryant. Judy Dowell. Judith Stiilion. William Latimer. Terry Hoyle, Fred Hinson. William Kane. Max Williams. Don Wood, Patsy Scott, and Robbie Pittman. The success of the program depends heavily upon the participation of the faculty and students to assure that the best possible candidates will be considered. Your cooperation and assistance are needed. H. F. Robinson by Larry Hardin More and more I come to understand that people simply do not understand some ot the issues involved in the a nt i-nuclea r movement taking place in this country and elsewhere in the world. In order to understand something about nudear energy one must first look at radiation and its affect on living things, human beings in particular. Radiation is simply another form ol energy; it ranges from wave lengths that arc long to those that arc verv short. What we are concerned with are the short ones: the X-rays, gamma rays, beta rays, and alpha particles In making a generalized statement one can say these forms ol energy are destructive to living organisms. The area of most concern has to do with the effect of radiation on genes and cells. In narrowing it down once again we locus in on the DNA chain within the nucleus of cells. Radiation can break this chain; it can alter the chemical structure of sub-molecules. This then leads to the information contained within them to be altered also. More simply stated, the information the gene was supposed to pass on has been changed or is not there anymore. Some might be thinking that we have lots of cells, why worry about a few damaged ones, lt only takes one of these damamged cells to give you cancer, leukemia, or a child born with birth-defects. Science has not discovered the physical connection between radiation and cancer, but thev are absolutelv certain from their evidence that radiation is linked to cancer, lt is speculated that some control mechanism is damaged within the gene which in turn tells the cell not to keep reproducing itself I his radiated cell divides and passes on its damaged message to the subdivides and they in turn do likewise. 2to4.4to8. 8 to 16... and so on until a doctor sadly informs you that you now have cancer. Maybe thev can cut it out or use chemotherapy, mav be not. It takes about one gram of cancer to be found in the human organism and that is somewhere in the area of a billion cells gone crazy reproducing themselves. Because radiation does effect the genetic information passed along to the next subdivide, it has some built-in effects on the developing human fetus. This information controls such things as the development of organs and tissues that is taking place from the beginning in the ovum. If the fetus is exposed even to X-rays, as was shown in Great Britain by Dr. Stewart, there exists a correlation between number of X-rays taken and the number of cancers and leukemia in those children. Now all of these doses of radiation are very modest amounts of exposure. All we will see of this kind ol radiation is extra deaths from cancer, extra deaths from leukemia, and this generation's damaged genetic coding being passed along to the children. But what of the unseen effects of this on all future generations ot humans: What about the hereditary changes and the deaths in human life that will be attributed to this dav and time. If you don't think this generation won't be cursed and questioned as we do the actions of Hitler. 1 believe yom vision is verv short sighted. I here is no wav that we can have nuclear energy without radiation, As Dr. G off man has stated, concerning the chances ot radiation escape. "... I think that's a question that's reallv related to Murphy's law in some ways, which states that anything that can happen will."Eventoday nuclear reactors release certain amounts of radiation as pail of their routine operations. Ihe entire nuclear fuel cycle puts more and more of this radiation in our living space. At the present time there is no way around this situation. II you want nuclear energy, you get radiation; that is all there is to it. 1 for one do not think it is worth it. 1 do not need more electrical energy that much; besides we can make it other ways which allow that we do not sit in the dark, be cold, or alter our life styles drastically. It is time we got off our duffs and did something about this hazzard to living things which we and the future generations are a part of. Getting off our duffs is being actively anti-nuclear. Write someone in the government, join an anti-nuke organization, start your own. convince the group you are in to be- more active in this issue, anything vou do will shorten the time we must be exposed to this level ol madness.
