  • The Western Caro VOIC v f Volume 54, Number 12 1988 ITUDENTS Phone Briefs A 16-year old Hendersonville Girl has been charged with first-degree murder in the October 26th shooting death of her father. That death was originally thought to be a suicide. Doctors at a suburban Chicago hospital say Bears coach Mike Ditka suffered a heart attack after his morning workout at the team's training camp. According to staff cardiologist Dr. Jay Alexander, the 45-year-old Ditka is in serious but stable condition and under intensive care. Alexander says Ditka had a mild heart attack and was given medication for a blocked artery. It is not known when Ditka can resume his duties with the Bears. Bears president Mike McK- askey said earlier today Ditka appeared in good spirits, and had joked that he had planned to visit a friend at the same hospital. According to assistant coach Johnny Roland, Ditka also suffered mild chest pains yesterday, but apparently did nothing about them. The American Medical Association has joined with other groups in filing legal petitions requesting state authorities to halt distribution of RJ. Reynolds' new smokeless cigarette.The petitions were directed to the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy and the Missouri Department of Health. The A.M.A. and the other medical groups contend that state laws in Arizona and Missouri require R.J. Reynolds to demonstrate the safety of the new product before placing it on the market.The legal petition states that the new cigarette, "Premier," is a new and hazardous system intended to deliver the drug nicotine.The A.M.A. says before premier is sold to consumers, the appropriate regulatory agencies should evaluate whether the dangerous health effects of the products preclude its sale in their states.

Senator Terry Sanford Visits Campus Dan Quayle Comes to Ashevilie by Mark Weaver The College Democrats brought Senator Sanford to Western Carolina Monday, as part of his campaign to elect Democrats this year. Greeted by a three-piece trumpet ensemble and introduced by Chancellor Coulter, Senator Sanford brought the "Positive Democratic Campaign of 1988" and spoke about Governor Dukakis being a very effective Chief Executive of Massachusetts and mentioned the fact that he was elected by both Democrats and Republicans at the National Governors Association as the most effective Governor in the nation. Sanford mentioned that Senator Lloyd Bentsen is the best candidate not only for vice-president, but also president if something were to happen to Governor Dukakis. He also said that Senator Bentsen as vice-president will best represent Southern America in the Oval Office. When he began to speak about the gubernatorial race and the fact that we need an effective governor who has brought North Carolina advances in education, environment, and the economy, it was clear that he was talking about Lt. Governor Bob Jordan. Continuing on the education issue, Senator Sanford talked about the education ticket of Lt. Governor Jordan, Senator Rand, and Representative Etheridge, who passed the Basic Education Plan and the Teaching Fellows Program. When "Rally '88" was over those who attended believed that the Democratic Party was indeed the party of the future. by Christine Faris and Lori Gamble Last Thursday morning Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Dan Quayle came to Ashevilie. Senator Quayle, who spoke to a breakfast crowd of approximately 800 people at the Grove Park Inn, focused primarily on education issues. Quayle said that he and Bush, whohas asked to be called "The Education President," are "committed to improving public education." According to Quayle, he and Bush are "determined to lower the school dropout rate." He said that a Bush .administration "would ensure access to college", and that "students who want to go on to higher education will lhave that opportunity." In addition, Quayle spoke of his sponsorship iin Congress of legislation to change federal funding for vocational education: "It was my amendment, my legislation that restructured that program on program improvement, and the monies went for program improvement for vocational education," he said. As he continued, Quayle remarked that "our Republican party is the party of the future. We've had eight years of peace through strength," he said. "In the next four years, Bush wants to be known as the 'Education President' because he understands the importance of education, which will remain primarily a state and local jurisdiction," said Quayle. After he left Ashevilie, Quayle spoke to a crowd of 2,000 at UNC-Charlotte. Student Arrested for Wachovia Break-in Mountain Jug Rival: The annual feud between the Cats and the Mountaineers by Martha McAfee EDITOR WCU Cat and Appalachian Mountaineer fight for the Mountain j ug at last years game. (Mark i»**tt photo) After a long awaited year, the Western Carolina Catamounts will challenge the Appalachian State Mountaineers as they battle for the "Mountain Jug" this Saturday in Boone. The teams have been rival opponents since their first meeting in 1932. Among the Southern Conference teams, WCU and ASU are the only ones located in the western region of the North Carolina mountains. For several years, the athletic departments from both schools tried to come up with some type of award or trophy forthe winning team in order to keep up the spirit of the rivalry. However, they never could agree on any standard tangible object to pass back and forth between schools for the winning title. Besides, rivals are very important to athletic programs because students become more spirited during the week of the game, fans show a greater turn-out for games, and the players look forward to the yearly challenge. In 1977 the Student Government Associations from WCU and ASU got together and came up with the idea of having a jug for the annual game to give away as the winning trophy. A man from Boone, N.C. painted the jug which displays black and gold on one side with the Appalachian Mountaineer mascot, and the reverse side contains the colors purple and gold with the Catamount mascot. Ever since that year, the "Mountain Jug" has been brought to the game and the winning team takes it home until the next meeting. West- em had the jug the first year it was introduced, and thereafter, ASU took took over the jug for three years in a row. WCU won it back for four straight years, and ASU has kept it since their takeover in 1985. Sports Illustrated calls it " the best rivalry that nobody's ever heard about" in its college football preview prior to the 1987 season. Once again, the Cats will have a chance to redeem themselves at the "Battle for the Mountain Jug" game to be played on Saturday, November 5 at Appalachian State in Kidd Brewer Stadium at 1:30PM. by Colin Burch STAFF WRITER A student is being held in the Jackson County jail after breaking into and entering the Wachovia in Cullowhee. Public Safety officer Bob Lane discovered the glass front door of the Wachovia broken at 12:37 a.m. this past Monday, Octo- ber31. The student, who Public Safety Director Gene McAbee would not identify, approached Officer Lane and admitted to the break-in. He was taken into custody of the State Bureau of Investigation. "All he stole was a handful of lollipops," said McAbee. McAbee also said that there was some speculation as to the state of the student's mental health. .■...:■*--■.
