  • a WESTERN CAROLINIAN July 26, 1984 Computer Network Progressing 3J Some Foods May Prevent Cancer By JOE FOURNIER Staff Reporter Last year several WCU faculty members, concerned about education in local high schools, were able to develop a project they call Micronet. The goal of the project was to provide students and teachers in high schools across the state a means of improving their knowledge and facilitating communication through the use of microcumputers. Currently, some 40 schools in North Carolina are participating in the project. Each has at least 1 microcomputer with which they are able to communicate through the Vax 780 in Forsyth. The emphasis of the project was on helping remote, smaller schools that find it difficult to procure funds for such things as computers: So when Apple Computers recently donated $75,000 in equipment to Micronet, the majority of equipment was given to 14 area schools ranging in size from Stecoah, which has 150 students in grades K-12, to Franklin High School, which is the largest. Each of the 14 schools received an Apple He computer, a monitor, and 2 pieces of software. Western plays its part in the program by supplying the majority of funds for the project, and free computer time for the schools on the 780, not to mention valuable advice and help from WCU instructors. Some of the current uses of the project's resources include: the ability to mail electronic Following its report on nutrition and cancer in messages to the univer- February 19 8 4, "the sity and other schools in American C ancer Society the project; use of data nas published "Nutrition, bases stored in the Vax (ommon Sense and 780 a data base is a list of ?""?•" <juick-reference ... , leaflet highlighting the specific information on A(Ss se>en KnutriBtional a special topic; comm- guidelines, unication with the WCU library to request information quickly; and a research project on acid rain data collected by each of the participating schools.

According to the leaflet, evidence indicates that eating certain foods may increase or decrease one's risk of developing certain types of cancer, although no direct cause- effect relationship between diet and cancer has yet been proved. The following ACS recommendations are briefly explained: 1) Avoid obesity 2) Cut down on total fat intake 3) Fat more high fiber foods 4) Include foods rich in vitamins A and C in your daily diet 5) Include cruciferous vegetables in your diet 6) Fat moderately of saHt-cured, smoked and nitrite-cured foods 7) Keep alcohol comsumption moderate, if you do drink "Nutrition, Common Sense and Cancer" notes that the development of cancer involves many complex factors, and states that research on the links between nutrition and cancer is being funded by the American Cancer Society.

Main 586-6659 The Cats Will Roar in By BILLY GRAHAM StaffReporter Among the slew of good movies making the rounds this summer, there can be found a true gem. As to the best film of the summer, speculation reigns. Ghost- busters, easily the most popular, combines biting satire and innovative comedy, but falls short in the area of character development. One laughs at, not with, the personalities portrayed on the screen. The hero in Dante's Gremlins is just as much a mystery to the viewer at movie's end as he is when the lights dim. However, the Karate Kid, (immaginative title notwithstanding) is perhaps the best film of the season. A story that' deals with the complexities of personalities, hearts, and ^minds of people is in- | deed rare these days. The Karate Kid is I somewhat reminescent I of Rocky, from which di- I rector, John G. J Avildsen, won an Oscar Mr. Miyagi, played by Noriyuki (Happy Days) Morita, a worldly oriental handy man, who agrees to train him in the area of martial arts, and manage him through an upcoming tournament. Morita, an excellent (albeit under rated) actor, lifts this movie to the level of excellence. His dry aphorisms are generally unheeded by his young protege, but are to viewers of the film, quickly endearing. Young Ralph Mac- chio, and the star Daniel Larusso, plays his part winningly, with great emotional clarity. Obviously, Macchio is destined for a great acting future. The rest of the cast, in which no spots are particularly weak, is well rounded, although in a few instances a bit overdrawn. In addition to all of the positive structural and acting points that the Karate Kid has to offer, ah extra bonus, is thrown in. The scenes of active competition are extremely realistic. This is also quite rare insofar as sports movies are concerned. I in 1976 for his direction ■ of the first Rocky. The plot, which is | hardly fresh, is at least | wholesome, and is de- j livered and expressed I with uncanny verity, J drawing the viewer into J the story quickly. A young Italian boy «dlJ J from Newark, N.J. ■ moves with his divorced | mother to sunny South- | ern California. Right off I the bat he meets a beautiful young cheerleader, whose jealous-minded ex-boyfriend is a karate black belt. Our hero is thus provided numerous beatings until he meets one - j You'd think we might learn. You'd think that the average movie goer would recognize that any film offering 'R' rating and a party as it's central advertising theme would not be worth the three and a half bucks it's going to cost. As a matter of fact, "Bachelor Party!", a recently released flick starring Tom (Bosom Buddies) Hanks, will be overpriced when it hits the one dollar theaters. Set in your basic west coast metropolitan area, the watery (at best) plot relates an average slob's marriage into a Golden-State Jet set- type family, against the wishes of the young lady's parents. A wild bachelor party intertwined with the attempts by the bride's father and ex-boyfriend to stop the wedding form the Harold's Supermarket Between Quality Variety & Service Sylva and Dillsboro Ad Good Thru Sunday Limit one each with $10 or more additional food purchase.

All of the quality punch lines and humorous characterizations are assigned Hanks, and he delivers them nearly flawlessly. Tawny Kitaen, as the bride, is fairly convincing, overcoming shallow characterization by writer Bob Israel. "Bachelor Party" will appeal to those who consider "Three's Company" wickedly clever. A snicke^PTng, locker-room mentality prevails, leaving most serious viewers rather disgusted. Don't trip yourself up in a rush to see this one.
