  • The Western Volume 54, Number 8 VOICE OF THE STUDENTS Thursday, October 6, 1988 Phone (704) 227-7267 P.O. Box 66, Cullowhee, N.C Briefs U.S. Attorney Vinton Lide saya three Georgia men were arrested and 708 pounds of cocaine were seized at the Anderson County Airport this morning. State and Federal agents estimate the wholesale value of cocaine at between $ 6- 6.5 Million. Pittsburg Steelers quarterback Bubby Brister will be out for at least three weeks with a broken finger on his right hand. But team officials haven't decided who will step in as quarterback. Steve Bono and Todd Black- ledge have been splitting the practice time. A South Carolina prison escapee found selling real estate in Maryland after ten years at large will be heading back to Maryland soon. Kay Smith is serving time for armed robbery and escape in South Carolina. But her Columbia Attorney, Richard Harpootlian, said she has been approved for transfer to the Maryland Department of Corrections. There are some native North Carolinians, as well as, some people who live here, who will be more than fond memories of the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul. Gibbonsville native Kay Yow captured her third victory over the Soviet Union in two years in route to the gold medal in women's basketball. Yow shared the moment with sister Susan and Sylvia Hatchell, the head coach of women's basketball at North Carolina. Billy Masse, who puts his name throughout the Wake Forest Baseball Record Books, helped the U.S. Baseball Team capture the gold medal. North Carolina's J.R. Reid brought home bronze in men's basketball. As didformer Greensboro Prep star Danny Manning. What's Inside? Mountain Heritage Center New Fraternity Guidelines Counselor's Corner People in the News Camping Season Seven Seas to Cullowhee WWCU Spotlight Movie Review Concert Reviews UT-Chattanooga Preview Cross Country Teams Player Profile Southern Conference Roundup Former WCU Students Invent and Market Resuscitation Device by Christine Faris News Editor Two WCU emergency medical care graduates recently became inventors. According to Western's emergency medical care program, former students Ilurschell Mathews, Jr. and Michael M. Hawthorne of Greenville, SC, have applied their practicalfield experience to existing technology. They have invented devices that might have a great impact on the emergency health care profession. Mathews and Hawthorne have created and recently marketed a resuscitation device. The device is founded on existing technology, and is a simplified version of equipment presently used in the emergency health care profession. According to Hawthorne, his education at WCU has had an enormous impact on his success. "It's part of the program that Barbara Larson (head of the emergency medical care program) presents," he said. "This is not a profession in which you plantobe a paramedic forever," continued Hawthorne. "Either you're going to get burned out, your back is going to fail, or you just get tired of it; but the four-year degree you get from Western allows you to go into management or take a broader look at the profession." IWCU emergency medical care program graduates Hurshell Mathews l(Ief't) and Michael Hawthorne demonstrate the Berg resusciatation appa ratus (Mark I laskert photo) "The management portion of the program is in-depth enough to allow you to go into private industry; it gives you the broad horizons to go out on your own," concluded Hawthorne. According to Mathews, "That's exactly what we've done." Mathews who graduated in 1985, and Hawthorne, a May 1986 graduate, teamed up with Dent A. Berg on the Berg resuscitation apparatus, or BRA. The BRA gives an emergency medical technician the opportunity to simultaneously perform chest compression and ventilation on a patient. Usually, two EMTs are required in resuscitation situations. One is needed to compress the chest and the other to ventilate the patient. The BRA allows one of the EMTs to perform other life-saving tasks, according to Mathews The BRA is advantageous in another way, i.e., simplicity. "Firemen have beenfirst on the scene of an accident, doing basic CPR when we get there," Hawthorne said. "We can hand this (BRA) to them and say, 'Keep doing what you're doing.' They instantly understand it, and the device allows other firemen and EMTs to get in and start doing more advanced things," he stated. According to Mathews, there are other one-man resuscitation devices being marketed, but they cost up to $5,200. The BRA is priced at $250. "That's a cost advantage, especially for ambulance services and rescue squads that do not have the big budgets and can't afford more expensive devices," said Mathews. Mathew continued, listing still another advantage of the BRA. "The BRA is compact and light-weight, weighing only 1.5 pounds," he said. "Some devices are big and bulky and weigh over 100 pounds. It takes a third person to help set them up." Mathews and Hawthorne, along with Berg, are paramedics with the Greenville County Emergency Medical Service. The three formed Hursh Enterprises and sought out investors who purchased $100,000 in stock and started up the company. The BRA was marketed on September 1 and since then, the paramedics have already received queries from 120 rescue squads and ambulance services. Even better, responses have come in from as far away as Puerto Rico and Alaska. NCCAT To Have New Home In 1989: Building Under Construction by Christine Faris News Editor NCCAT is currently housed in the Madison Building (Brad KimKy photo) Art Department Hosts Visiting A lot of people in Cullowhee are unsure as to exactly what is being constructed across the highway from WCU. According to Bob Satterwhite, director of public information, once it is completed the building will serve as the new home of the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching. The official projection date for the center is November 1989. "The building will be used to house teachers who come to WCU for various seminars," said Satterwhite. Presently, the Madison dormitory on campus is being utilized for this purpose. The completed building will consist of a two-story core facility that will contain conference rooms, dining rooms, an amphitheatre, and several ad ministration offices. In addition to the core facility, there will be two residential units connected by a patio. Each unit will have 24 individual rooms. "Aesthetically, the cen- Now under construction will have new home in 1989 (Mark Hasten photo) ter will be very striking," said Satterwhite. "The exterior will be native stone, there will be a series of arched glass windows, and a pond." "It will be the perfect environment for the teachers who come to WCU to attend seminars," concluded Satterwhite. Artists Program: WCU and ECU Share Grant by Martha McAfee Editor WCU's Art Department will host its 1988-89 visiting artists program sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. Artists will show slides on their work and give open lectures as a free exhibit on campus. Lectures will also involve the work of other contemporary artists. Visits to art classes in order to critique some of the students' work, will enable to students to have some professional background in critiquing. Each of the three visiting artists scheduled for this year are well known nationally and internationally. Peter Gourfain will be the first to visit on Thursday, October 27 at 7:30PM in the Belk Building Auditorium. Peter Gourfain's recent work called "Roundabout and Other Works" was exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum in 1987. The New York Times said that "Mr. Gourfain's strengths lie in his craftsmanship, his energy and his decorative skill... Mr. Gourfain has been clearly inspired by the Middle Ages when architecture, sculpture and painting worked together toward an encyclopedia goal." Jody Pinto will visit on Thursday, November 17 at7:30PM in the Belk Building Auditorium. Jody Pinto is noted for her site-specific installations. Artform magazine has said that "pinto's work is influenced by a combination of anecdotal, mythological, and literary sources, . . . Pinto's large installations engage on many levels. The act or the promise of passage, as well as the works' titles, encourage an interpretive, theoretical reading, and she has a clear understanding of the difference between public and private production." In the spring, Vito Acconci will visit on Thursday, March 23 at 7:30PM in the Belk Building Auditorium. In the late 1960's and 70's, Vito Acconci, according to Artnews magazine "was one of the more audacious creators of Minimalist installations and of performance and video art; over the past five years he has been increasingly engaged in making publicly commissioned sculpture." The visiting artist program is made possible by the result of a collaborative proposal by Western Carolina University and East Carolina University to the National Endowment for the Arts.
