Apparent Oversight Dear Editor, \s a member of the Western Carolina Universitv chorus. I was very disappointed when our choral director. Dr. Robert A. Holquist. was not brought on stage with the other two choral directors to receive a well- deserved display of recognition following the Asheville Symphony's performance Saturdav evening. It seems to me that, il the message was delivered successfully instructing Dr. Holquist to give the three choral ensembles a brief vocal warm-up before the concert, then a message could have and should have been delivered equally successfully inviting him to be on stage for curtain call. I do hope that in the future the person whose responsibility this was will make an effort to assure that such an apparent oversight does not occur again. We all need our fair share of applause, especially when we work hard to complete a challenging and ambitious project and with verv stringent time constraints. Bravo. Dr. Holquist, for a job well done! Sincerely, Aileen D. Tve Commuter Pains Will T&S Listen Dear Editor, Commuter students cannot afford to miss class because we can't find a place to park our cars! We also can't afford the five dollars a day it is costing us because the university will not acknowledge and deal with the fact that the parking facilities for commuter students at Western cannot accomodate the number of students using them. There's no-way I can cart art supplies from my home 15 miles away to Belk building every morning! I he university is greedy and unresponsive to this problem b> continual!) ticketing students who park in other than the "designated areas." Ihe fact that commuters are forced to find alternate parking spaces should be enough of a clue that a problem exists. I know I'm not alone on this because there are at least twelve cars at a time circling the commuter lots like vulchers at all times. It's frustrating and unnecessary in a University this size. Something has got to be done! Diane Connell r4ofea Ankle Injuries With the onset of spring, college students are predominant at tennis courts, jogging trails, intramural sports events, and even on skateboards. Here at Graham Infirmary, especially in the evening hours, we see many ankle injuries from this excess "spring activity fever." Most of the injuries are acute sprains causing pain and some obvious tissue damage. Frequently there will be a "popping" sound in the joint at the time of injury. This does not indicate a fracture however. The sprained ankle will often swell significantly. There may be some bruising noted around this edema and it is painful to bear weight on the extremity. fhe ankle is a hinge joint consisting of the tibia and fibula sitting astride the talus of the foot. This hinge joint is held in proper alignment by a variety of supporting ligaments. There are degrees of sprains depending on the extent of damage to these ligaments. There is no immediate damage if the weight is kept off the injured ankle until the physician can evaluate the injury. When you come to the infirmary in the evening, the nurse will evaluate the ankle and initiate routine treatment consisting of: (1) ice pack to constrict blood vessels and limit circulation, thereby reducing hemorrhage. (2) compression-ace bandage wrap to reduce the hematoma. (3) elevate to reduce swelling by increasing venous flow. (4) crutches to limit weight bearing and to prevent further swelling. Occasionally a cast is necessary, depending on the extent of ligament damage. If you need assistance to get to the infirmary when an injury occurs, call 227-7430. A registered nurse is on duty 24 hours a day and regular office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. until noon and 1 to 5 p.m. j R.E.A.C.H. Offers Counseling R.E.A.C.H.
