  • The Western Carolinian Page 7 Thursday, September 22,1988 Forensics Debate Team Prepares for Competition by Christine Faris According to Dr. Kathleen Wright, director of WCU's Forensics Team, a lot of students find the word "forensics" confusing. "We have nothing in common with the TV show Quincy or with forensics medicine," joked Wright. "Instead, the purpose of the team is to participate in competitive speaking events." Two areas of speaking events comprise forensics-public speaking, that is, prepared speeches, and debating. Throughout each semester, the team participates in a number of tournaments held at various universities. Students who participate in the public speaking category prepare different types of speeches such as Extemporaneous, After Dinner, Impromptu, Informative, etc. According to Debby Griggs, technical assistant for the club, "Public speaking is a learning experience for all students; no matter what major they are in, they need the audience exposure." The second area of competition, Cross Examination Debate, focuses on current issues of concern. The debaters spend a great deal of time researching the topic and then have an opportunity to argue their case with other schools. While Dr. Kathleen Wright coaches the public speakers, Mr. Ralph Hamlett oversees the debaters. According to Hamlett, this semester's debate topic is: president for the club, the team will attend at least four tournaments this OUTDOORS: Ginseng-The "Man-Plant" semester. They are scheduled as following: Oct. 7-9, University of Alabama; Oct. 14-16, University of South Carolina; Oct. 28-30, Appalachian State University; and finally, the team will attend the Clemson University tournament at the beginning of November. According to Wright, forensics deals with rhetoric which, in turn, deals with the art of discourse, "We want to train students how to think, reason, and express themselves in a way that will be effective for any type of audience." she said. "They are going to be competitive all their lives, and I'd like to think that we can help them learn competitiveness in a rational and successful way. by Tony Fisher They live here in the mountains, in the steep beautiful places where sunlight filters down into the narrow hollows strewn with mossy boulders. In the high, dark folds of the hills they emerge each spring, sending up leaves spread like arms to catch the filtered rays. In autumn they wear crowns of crimson berries, and in winter they retreat underground, their roots groping like secret fingers into the soil. Mystique and mystery, science and folklore surround the ginseng plant. The word ginseng comes from the Chinese "jen-shen," or "man-plant," so-named because large roots often resemble the human form, and because the plant is esteemed in the Orient as having a variety of beneficial effects on the human body. For over four thousand years ginseng has figured prominently in the Chinese pharmacopeia. The reported medicinal uses of this herb are prolific; ginseng has been used to treat glandular imbalance, poor eyesight, skin problem s, digestive disorders, diabetes, poor circulation, and high blood pressure. It is said to increase stamina, slow down aging, and boost the immune system. And last, but certainly not least, its reputation as an aphrodisiac and for increasing virility and sexual potency has become its most popular attribute. Even ginseng's scientific name, Panax, is derived from the Greek panakes, which means "all-healing." The question is, does ginseng work? If continued usage is any indication of merit, then ginseng has worked for millions of Oriental people for centuries. However, it has no current value in Western medicine. On the other hand, our scientists are beginning to chemically analyze this herb, and the list of beneficial substances discovered so far is impressive. They include panacene (a tranquilizer and pain reliever), panaxin (benefits nervous and muscular systems), B vitamins, minerals, panquilon (benefits nervous system), enzymes, phytosterols (hormone activators), and germanium (a mineral with a host of reported health benefits). Although these substances seem to correlate with several of ginseng's therapeutic uses, Western doctors generally do not prescribe ginseng (or any other herb) as Chinese doctors would. At this point, the only test of ginseng's medicinal value is subjective; if an individual gets results from the herb, it works for that person. Judging from the tremendous growth of products that contain ginseng at health-food stores across this country, this herb is working for more Americans each year. Ginseng is a popular ingredient in many vitamin formulas, especially bodybuilding formulas. Practically all of this ginseng is cultivated in theU.S. or Korea. From ginseng-cola to ginseng candy, popular demand for the herb is increasing. The Cherokee called it "Plantof Life." It was abundant in these mountains when the Chinese market was established in the 1500's. Since then, the Indians and the mountaineers have taken advantage of a unique source of income, finally depleting the number of plants until wild ginseng has become a rare sight in these hills. Still, around the craggy domes of some peaks, among the poplars and Virginia creeper, bending low with crowns of crimson berries, they live. P.A.R.T.Y: Plans Set For Semester by Laura Hufton "Our goal is not to preach against the use of alcohol but to promote responsible alcohol consumption..." is how Rosa Webster, President of PARTY, best sums up what PARTY is all about. Party actually stands for Promoting Alcohol Responsibility through You. It is made up of drinkers, and non-drinkers, upper and lower classmen and Greeks and Independents. PARTY is a branch of BACCAS and may be considered the collegiate level of SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving). As a matter of fact, WCU's Party chapter has helped start SADD chapters in surrounding high schools, such as the old Cullowhee High School. PARTY members even traveled to Franklin High School last semester to give lectures on alcohol awareness. However, not only does this organization help the surrounding communities, but it is very active right here on campus. They give presentations to sororities, fraternities, hall meetings, and to any group that wants to get involved in their campaign. PARTY goes beyond just giving presentations and showing video programs, they show you first hand how drinking can impair your abilities. One such program that demonstrates this point perfectly is known as the DWI Rodeo. The DWI Rodeo is a program in conjunction with the Sheriff's Department; it enables volunteers to demonstrate how quickly alcohol affects their reflexes after just one beer, then two, and so on. This is done under strict supervision and all volunteers are screened carefully. One such rodeo is now trying to be formed for later in the semester. Right now PARTY seems to be very active in everything on campus these days. According to Lesslie Greer, historian, they are involved in the up coming Mountain Heritage Day on September 24. They will have a face painting booth for children. They also have a booth in the university Open House on October 1. This is to help let new freshman and transfers know that PARTY exists and to try to get a larger campus involvement. Then on the following Wednesday, the 5th, PARTY will be holding a Happy Hour for all perspective new members. Happy Hour will begin at 8:15 in Scott's Blue Lobby and is open to all. PARTY does not work just with university events and community events. They go even further and start programs with the Greek organizations. Last semester, they held presentations with Alpha Z and Alpha Chi sororities. They were also in cooperation with Sigma Nu fraternity which helped set up several non-alcoholic bars that serves "mocktails." This gave an alternative to alcohol and gave designated drivers such non-alcoholic drinks as Pina Collats an< Packers. PARTY is working with the Greeks again this semester. This time along with Pi Kappa Alpha they held a can drive. What PARTY did was to set out boxes for people to throw away their empty cans in, after a BYOB party on the 17th. The next day PARTY members went out and collected the cans to find out what type of alcohol was being consumed. They plan on recycling the cans as a money making project. As of now, this can drive and a potato sale for September 26 thru 30 are PARTY'S only sources of revenue. Since they have not received a straight answer from Student Government they are still unsure of possible, if any, funding. "Due to different responses from student government PARTY is still uncertain if we will receive funding for this semester," as Ms. Webster states. This would be a real loss for not only PARTY, but for the area high schools and for Western if they were not allocated funds. With this money PARTY would be able to do an even more outstanding job than it already is. They would also be able to help more people. According to Linda Carmody, the faculty staff advisor, she feels that Westers's Chapter is the best out of her four state districts. Ms. Carmody is one of BACCAS' National Area Coordinators and oversees not only Western, but many other schools. In interviewing her one of the first things she said was how "super" and "incredibly active" Western's BACCAS Chapter is. She continues by saying that most schools will have just one big event and that is it. However, PARTY has "one event for each month" of the semester planned out. PARTY is not just some group that does the minimum to get by. They are a group of active students who participate in all aspects of collegiate life. These students try to bring an awareness to our campus about alcohol responsibility. If you would like to do your part PARTY holds their weekly meetings on Wednesday at 8:15 in Scott Blue Lobby.
