  • People The Western Carolinian Page Thursday. Sept 7. 1989 A Look at SECT By Jon A. Mayhew The Student Emergency Care Team (SECT) is in full operation for the 1989-90 academic year here at Western Carolina University. SECT is comprised of seven full-time members who are residing on the ground floor of the Moore Nursing and Health Sciences Building. The members of SECT, who are North Carolina Emergency Medical Technicians (NCEMT), are: Chief Ken Huff, of Wilmington; Lieutenant Kristen Gussman, of Hendersonville; Captain Jon Olson, of Cary; Joey Folding, of Long Beach; Skip Daniels, of Sparta; and Candance Harding of Raleigh. With the help of part time members, SECT provides competent emergency medical care to all students, faculty, and even visitors to WCU. Furthermore, given a two-week notice, SECT will provide medical standby at any event as long as it is sponsored by WCU, the Liston B. Ramsey Center, or any student organization. The medical care, as well as the medical standby, is free of charge. According to Chief Huff, "We provide a service free of charge, Sig Ep Brothers Sponsor 2nd Annual Mud Volleyball Tournament (pnoiobyMlltaMn) SECT Members (L-R) Jon Olson, Joey Folding, Candance Harding, Ken Huff, Kristen Gussman, Skip Daniels rather than for financial gain." Even though they operate through the Western Carolina Emergency Medical Service, SECT receives no monetary compensation. Instead, as compensation for hard work, their housing is paid for by WCU. They have their own cooking facility and laundry room. The work that SECT does is very challenging and also very time- consuming. Chief Huff explains the hiring procedure. "If there is any person that wishes to be a member of the SECT fjwtzxsy' ixm^EU "For all your travel needs" Lfllll fares and NO CHARGE Seruices 586-8479 or 586-6266 23 East Main St. Sylva team, then an application needs to be filled out at the Graham Infirmary. Then we, the full-time staff, vote on the application. If the application is accepted, then the person goes through a five- week training course. After this course, the person is picked as either a full or part-time staff member. Any major is accepted, but the applicant must be a full-time student of Western. If the person is selected for full-time employment, then this person must go through 144 hours of training." SECT is still accepting applications for full or part- time employment. "There is more interest in the SECT team now than there was when I first started here," said Chief Huff, who has been on staff since 1986. "Our goal is to become an ALS (Advanced Life Support) provider." Chief Huff encourages any interested persons to get in touch with SECT. Give them a call at 227-4099 any time. For emergencies only, call 227-7430. SECT here at WCU is the only University supported EMS provider in Western North Caro- By Kristie Home The second annual Sigma Phi Epsilon Mud Volleyball Tournament for Epilepsy was held on Saturday and Sunday, August 26 and 27. According to chairman Kevin Brueland, the overall success of this year's event doubled in comparison to last year. Preparation for the two-day event began August 20, when the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon went to work mowing, weed-eating, and raking the field where the event was to be held. Actual groundbreaking was on August 22, when an excavating company from Sylva began digging the five courts, which measured 40' x 20' each. The ground had to be tilled and rocks removed before an estimated 60,000 gal lons of water could be pumped into the pits over the two days the event lasted. The end result of all the work was a huge mud pit where over 30 volleyball teams consisting of 5 team members each competed for first place. "Most of Western's fraternities and sororities were represented," says Brueland. "However, many of the teams were independent students." Co-ed teams were encouraged by the Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers, and the function was open to the general public. Winners were judged by best 2 out of 3 games in the double elimination tournament. First place went to the "1/2 Dirty Dozen-1." They received $75 cash, a trophy, and commemorative T- (pnoto oy j«T MMon) shirts. Second place went to the "Dirty Dogs." They won $25 cash and T-shirts. The Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers presented $500 to the Epilepsy Foundation at 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 27, when the tournament ended. The money was raised from entry fees paid by participants. Says Brueland, "On behalf of Sigma Phi Epsilon and the Epilepsy Foundation, we would like to express our gratitude and thanks to all the sponsors and individuals who made the 2nd annual Mud Volleyball Tournament for Epilepsy such a success. We appreciate all the support and hope to see all of you next year." The 3rd annual Mud Volleyball Tournament is scheduled for next August. ft Caveman Video Old 107, Cullowhee (across from SIDZ) ^ ^/j£> 293-3137 ^S///p Under New Ownership Specials every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday atu ay VCR Rentals, Sodas, Candy & Cigarettes MOVIES MOVIES MOVIES Pre-med majors ... c <~- Call it the cure C\fl^—>. for the no-cash blues ^ THE %|t%> Economics majors ...
