  • Volume Fifty-two Number Ten Thursday, October 2, 1986 (704) 227-7267 P.O. Box 66, Cullowhee, N.C. 28723 COI ON TAP A Revised Student Rights Code has brought long-needed changes to Kansas U., officials say. The revisions, the first in the Code of Student Rights' 16-year history, include a ban on hazing and making student organizations ultimately responsible for their conduct. Football Fans Might See Red if they don't wear long pants to U. of Wisconsin games. Deteriorating fiberglass seat covers in some sections of the stadium have given fans an itchy, red rash. The seats are scheduled for removal next year. A Mail Order Drug Testing Kit is available over-the-counter in Kansas. Each Aware Kit, developed by American Drug Screens of Dallas, contains a plastic specimen bottle, a mailing label and directions. The test, conducted at home, must be sent to a lab for analysis. The samples are tested for traces of drugs including cocaine, marijuana and barbiturates. Although the tests are meant to help parents, some say that they might have a harmful effect on the family, eroding trust among members. However, "in a business setting, the test has value," says one drug and alcohol abuse expert. Each kit costs $25. Students Caught In a Money Pinch at South Seattle Community College can borrow emergency funds from the school under a successful 10-year-old program. Loans must be paid back within 90 days. Most borrow to pay for tuition and books; officials say they are "conscientious" about paying it back. Utah Students Who Default On Their Loans may soon see their names in print. The state Attorney General's Office and Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority have released to the press the names of 137 students who have defaulted on their loans. Officials hope the move will induce students to start making payments. A Doctoral Student Suspected of Murder has enrolled at Oklahoma U. for fall semester. The 34-year-old student is a suspect in the murder of a reseacher last December while they were studying in the mountains of the central African nation of Rwanda. Despite Threats of Violence, not a stone was cast at a recent showing of the controversial film, "Hail Mary," at the U. of Nebraska-Lincoln student union. School officials cancelled last spring's scheduled showing, but a succesful Nebraska Civil Liberties Union suit against the UNL overturned the order. Film opponents held all-night prayer vigils outside the student union. Two Black Sororities at the U. of Alabama-Tuscaloosa will move onto the school's traditionally "all-white" sorority row. Previously, there had been no housing for Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta, but space has been found. The sororities will be treated to a "welcome to the row" party. Students Protecting Students is the motto of the Public Safety Student Auxiliary at the State U. of New York-Stony Brook. The group will primarily increase residence hall patrols during late evening and early morning hours. To Keep Kentucky Minors Out of the Bars, the state legislature has adopted a new, easily identifiable driver's license attesting to the minor's age. The licenses have "Under 21" printed in large blue letters down both sides and blue bars across the top and bottom of the card, as well as "Under 21" on a red strip running across the typed information. An Anti-Hazing Videotape condemning the rite has been produced by Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. "Hazing on Trial" uses the hypothetical courtroom trial of a student prosecuted for a hazing death. INSIDE Campus and Local State and National Perspectives International Affairs Arts and Entertainment People Sports Classifieds YOU SHOULD'A SEEN THE OTHER GUY -When it came time for the "fiercest looking" category in the dog show at Western Carolina University's Mountain Heritage Day last Saturday both Brutus (left) and Gunny (right) were psyched and ready. Owners Rusty Monteith (left) of Sylva and Tom Crowder (right) of Cullowhee Mountain even let them discuss the matter before the show. But you should have seen the other dog, Bear, owned by Brenda Brewer ot Sytva, that won first place. Not to be outdone, Gunny was second and Brutus third in the ugliest dog category. (WCU Photo by John Ashcraft) Animal Awareness Week Oct. 1-7 Special to The Western Carolinian The first week in October is Animal Awareness Week, a time to reflect on our relationship with other animals with which we share the earth. Animals have served us as sources of food and clothing, as tools of research, as objects of amusement, as workers and companions, and as crucial elements of our ecosystem since time immemorial. We owe them a great debt of gratitude, compassion and respect. Mahatma Gandi once stated "the greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." Each year, in the U.S., over five billion cattle, calves, pigs, sheep, chickens, and turkeys are raised under conditions of severe crowding, mutilation, and deprivation. Each year, approximately eighty million monkeys, dogs, cats, rabbits, and other feeling animals are shocked, irradiated, burned, starved, poisoned, deprived, mutilated, and otherwise abused and killed in tests and experiments that are frequently excessive, redundant, inconclusive, unnecessary, or downright frivolous. Each year, some fifteen million dogs and cats are abandoned by their owners and destroyed in the U.S. Each year, tens of millions of wild animals are clubbed, shot, harpooned, trapped, and poisoned for food, furs, or "sport". We need to develop a new ethic of gratitude, compassion, and respectfor animals. Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of peace and animals, wrote in his famous Canticle of the Sun, "Not to hurt our humble brethern, the animals, is our first duty to them, but we have a higher mission. God wishes that we should succor them whenever they require it." Every one of us must make a conscious choice whether to participate actively or silently, in the abuse of animals, or to work to end this abuse. We can exercise our choice through our actions - by refraining from purchasing products involving animal abuse, by speaking out on animal abuse issues, and by pushing for more effective animal legislation. Whatever your means or talents may be, please do something to show where you stand. Remember: your silence is a message. Governor Jim Martin is seen here with our own Rocking Kenny Ray (of Power 91) as they took In the sights and sounds of last Saturday's Mountain Heritage Day celebrations. News Briefs From The Associated Press Freed American Reporter Nick Daniloff met with the President at the White House late yesterday. But first, Reagan visited Atlanta to help Jimmy Carter - the man he defeated in 1980 - dedicate his Presidential library. Tens of thousands of Black Miners staged a one-day strike in South Africa yesterday to mourn 177 miners who died in an underground fire last month. The strike came in response to the mining industry's refusal to close the mines for the memorial. The Reagan Administration says the US Senate now has a new reason not to embarrass the President on South Africa--the pre-summitmeeting this month in Iceland. It's likely the senate this week will override Reagan's veto of economic sanctions. But doing that, the Administration argues, would undercut Reagan's ability to bargain with Soviet Leader Gorbachev in Iceland this month. Cable Television Service Coming to WCU Campus by Brad Kimzey Staff Writer Negotiations are under way to provide cable television service to the W.C.U. campus, possibly as soon as the next academic year. According to Dr. CJ. Carter, Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs, "It looks very favorable that we will." A second draft of an initial contract is under negotiation with Essex Cable T.V. of Sytva. Dr. Carter indicates that a third draft will be drawn up before actual installation begins, but he is very optimistic about the arrangements. The main stumbling block at this time appears to be mechanical and engineering concerns. The project would be a very large operation;as the proposal stands now, cable would need to be installed in some 1600 residence hall rooms as well as roughly 140 other locations. Other locations include most academic buildings, the RAC, the University Center, and residence hall lounges arid lobbies. The proposal calls for a separate cable to be installed along with the Essex cable for use by the university. The second cable will carry data communications for networking campus computers and various other campus functions such as fire and security communications. The Essex cable that will be run into the dorms will carry a selection of twelve channels. The package includes ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CNN (the Cable News Network), WOR (an independent station out of New York), ESPN, WGN (an independent station out of Chicago), WTBS, The Discovery Channel, MTV, and HBO (at an additonal cost). The possibility of cable on the Cullowhee campus has been hindered in the past by the uncertainty of the cable companies in Sytva. The cablefranchise has been bought and sold several times in recent years, but Dr. Carter feels that Essex Cable is capable of such an undertaking and is anxious to get the contract. One stipulaton in the contract that was apparently a problem for other companies was that W.C.U. officials wanted the cable service to be optional for students. In the package now under negotiation, students will have the option to get cable in much the samefashion as the option to get long distance telephone service. The cable company will sell the service directly to the students. Western Carolina Officials are hoping to get contract negotiations out of the way in time fo outdoor installation to begin before winter weather sets in. Then the indoor work can hopefully be completed during the winter and spring. "A lot of trenches have to be dug and a lot of cable has to be run," said Dr. Carter, "but maybe we'll get (tie cable) in before the next school year."
