PAGE 2 NOVEMBER 21, 1985 WESTERN CAROLINIAN ti LET IT BE A CHALLENGE TO YOU. it "YOU REALIZE, OF COURSE, THAT THIS IS HARDLY AN EXCUSED ABSENCE." THE HORROR OF RESCHEDULED TEACHERS (OR, THE DREADED DR. SURPRISE) Stacy Lewis GREAT AMERICAN ESCAPE NUMBER SEVEN Alcohol is an important part of the American social lifestyle. After all, what would a weekend football game, a TGIF party or a "night on the town" be without a few drinks? This emphasis on alcohol has made it the most widely used and accepted drug in our current cultural system, and thisemphasisis mirrored in our attitudes towards the abuse of alcohol. We see a habitual drunk as a stumbling, happy person who appears to have a penchant for tripping over inanimate objects, not as someone who requires counseling and surely not as an "addict". When you come right down to it though, an addict is what an alcoholic is- a person for whom the drug has become an important part of everyday life. Great American Escape is Western Carolina University's primary alcohol related program. It is an annual event which does not present a hard-line "drinking is a dire sin" attitude. Rather, Great American Escape is a friendly, low-key program designed to educate people and to encourage responsible social drinking rather than ask students to forego alcohol altogether. Alternatives to alcohol are suggested for making your party a safer, more entertaining experience for all. A presentation Wednesday, November 20 will be a discussion by a lawyer, a police officer and an insurance agent on "What Your DWI Will Really Cost You." This program will be at 7:00 p.m. and is sponsored by the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity. The main attractions start Thursday, November 21, and will be sponsored by University Housing. This year's Great American Escape will be more spread out over the WCU campus in order to reach more people. Booths and activities representing university clubs and organizations will be set up at Hinds University Center from 10:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m., and at both Dodson and Brown cafeterias from 4:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m. Booths will provide informational pamphlets and slide shows about alcohol. Clubs and organizations will also be able to participate in the Great American Escape Poster Contest and win cash prizes. Refreshments will be available to all students, and there will even bedoorprizes. If youor your club has any questions, call Jeff Martin, chairperson of the Great American Escape Committee at 227-7303, and re member thatalcohol is hardly a necessary evil if treated in a responsible fashion.

A good way to start is by focusing on the part of the planet where you live. There is much to be done here in Western North Carolina; where Champion Pulp and Paper turns the Pigeon River into a root beer colored sewer, trees in the Great Smokies are dying from acid rain, proponentsof nuclear power are proposing storing that industry's toxic waste, and a Forest Service attuned more to profit than preservation is considering clearcutting two thirds of the National Forests. Well, what is to be done? A newly formed chapter of the Sierra Club is trying to address just that question. Formed by a loose assembly of citizens living in the state's westernmost counties, the new chapters' goal is to broaden public awareness of environmental issues that have a significant impact, both long and short-term, on the citizens of this corner of the state. If the public can be educated on these issues, members of the new chapter believe, than the issues can be raised to a political rather than emotional level, and intelligent resolutions may result. Presently, Club meetings are held on a rotating basis at sites in several counties. Given a membership increase from the Cullowhee area, meetings could be arranged here as well. The next Sierra Club meeting will be held at seven thirty pm, November 18th, at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, twelve miles west of Bryson City on US 19. The program is entitled "Waste to Resources — an Alternative to Landfills," presented by Paul Gallimore of the Long Branch Environmental Education Center in Leicester, N.C. The program will focus on methods of recycling more than seventy percent of the waste that goes into landfills. Landfills as they presently exist conceal long term problems of contamination of groundwater systems. Mr. Gallimore's approach offers a sane alternative to this pollutant leaching. If interested, and in need of more details, contact Karen Rodriguez at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, 704-488-2175. An old sentiment of the idealistic sixties college campus still applies: if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. You won't change this entire world, but you can certainly affect your part of it. DEATH AND THE SEXES Death may be universal, but how you die and when depends a lot on whether you are a man or a woman. A review of the research on these sex differences in death has been published by Dr. Judith Stillion, professorand head of the psychology department at Western Carolina University. "Death and the Sexes: An Examination of Differential Longevity, Attitudes, Behaviors and Coping Skills" has chapters on longevity and attitudes, murder and suicide, bereavement and grief, and death education and counseling. Intended as a reference for researchers and students of death education and sex roles, the book covers the most meaningful research on sex differences and explores its implications. It grew out of a symposium at the annual meeting of the Forum for Death Education and Counseling and originally was to be on women and death. "The sex differences we so startling, though, I couldn't talk about attitudes of women without comparing them with those of men," Stillion says. Statistics show that women live about eight years longer than men and that more men than women are murdered, commit suicide and die of lung diseases, heart disease, cirrhosis and accidents. At any age, more men die than women; more boys are conceived and born but more girls survive. Stillion acknowledges biological differences as factors but attributes much of the statistical differences to social messages about "the real man" stereotype that involves competition, power, self- reliance and being different from women. For example, females attempt suicide twice as frequently, but three to five times more males complete the act; perhaps the achievement motive works to prevent the humiliation of failure even in suicide, Stillion says. She believes that women live in a less dangerous and violent world than do men, who are murdered more often and are far more likely to be murderers. Women have felt free to express their problems and to reach out for help with a minimum of dissapproval from society, she says. Sex differences also affect attitudes toward death, Stillion says. Research shows that women admit more death' anxiety. "Yet there is no psychological reason why females would be more afraid of dying than men," she says. Women maybe freer to admit their fear than men, she adds. "The sex difference that's most convincing for me is longevity," Stillion says. "You'd think that when one-half of the society is a risk, you'd safeguard that half-tell them to be careful, tell them to be more passive than aggressive. But we do just the opposite." Men might live longer if they talked more about their feelings, accepted emotional support and had a warmer emotional environment, Stillion says. "Death and the Sexes" was published this year by Hemisphere Publishing Corp., a division of McGraw-Hill International.
