  • Volume 58 Number 18 Voices Letters to the Editor Laura L. Adams Editor-in-Chief Waste disposal methods questioned Dear Editor I wish to offer a counterpoint to the article that appeared in the January 28 issue of The Western Carolinian. The article was unsigned, so I will use "The author" in referring to that individual's opinions and information. I feel that the author conveyed information that was false and possibly misleading. The issue of solid waste disposal may not seem terribly exciting to many of you, but it is one of the profound environmental problems of our time, and citizens in every county in every state are being touched in one way or another by the dilemma it has created and by the policies being debated to manage that dilemma. Misinformation does no service for us, yet the article contained some. Yes, burning solid waste in incinerators kills disease—carrying organisms and reduces the amount of waste going to landfills and the need for landfill space. Research shows, however that the reduction is nowhere near the 90% figure that advocates claim, but rather closer to 60-70% (still a significant amount, however.) Furthermore, we now know that incineration does not "reduce" the total amount of waste that the environment must accommodate to the degree that these percentage fig- ' ures would imply. Rather, the "form" of the waste is altered as some of it is put in the air as gaseous pollutants and fly ash. And, a highly toxic "bottom ash" is generated that ultimately must be landfilled. Although the AMOUNT of material to be buried is greatly reduced its TOXICITY is greatly increased. The statement that incineration "...reduces plastic and other hazardous materials to harmless, odorless, clean gases" is completely erroneous and in the interests of science, I think it advisable that the author re-read the current literature on waste incineration technology and desist from disseminating false information. Even with advanced air pollution control devices, incinera- "Waste disposal" See pg. 4 Dissatisfaction with basketball program An open letter to the men's basketball program and all Catamount fans, In the January 20th edition of the "USA Today," there was the weekly computer ranking of all Division 1- A basketball teams. At the time, Western Carolina was ranked brace yourself, 282nd out of 300! That's right, there are 281 basketball teams thatplay better basketball than WCU. (That isn't nearly as startling as the thought that there are 18 teams that are actually worse than we are.) That and our record speaks for itself. Now, everyone affiliated with WCU would love to see our team improve. We all understand that things happen, that egos clash, that interests clash, that expectations drop. All of us understand that it takes a while for a basketball team to rise to the top of a conference. We also understand that the head coach has had at least three years to recruit the players for the system he's designed for the program. We understand that in over three years, there has been no progress in the quality of play; in fact, I dare say we've digressed. I have noticed that lately we can not even get into our familiar position of having an opportunity to blow a close game. This whole sad situation would be different if we felt that at least our team was using their scholarships to get a quality education. Our team's history of low graduation rates, dropouts, transfers, flunk outs, you name it, proves to us otherwise. I love Western Carolina University, and I'll always be proud to support our school and athletic program. But it is time we reevaluated our men's basketball program. It is time we decided how we can infuse this program with the leadership, determination, and enthusiasm that all of us can look upon and be proud of. And we do not need overnight miracles to be proud. Thank you. - - A disgruntled, hopeful fan. GOLDEN APPLE AWARD The Golden Apple Award is designed to recognize faculty members for their good work with students inside and outside the classroom. If you have a teacher who does something special on a given day—a lively class period, a helpful office visit, good career counseling or academic advising, etc.—please write a compliment or some words of appreciation on the Apple Gram form below . After completing this form, you may send it by campus mail to the Faculty Center for Teaching Excellence or drop in an Apple Gram box at one of the following places: the lobby of each dorm, the UC, the library, any dean's office, or either of the cafeterias. The Grams will be collected at the end of each month and delivered to the faculty member with a Golden Apple Certificate of Appreciation. If you have questions about this program, call the Faculty Center for Teaching Excellence, 7196. Thank you for your participation. Goldeia Apple Oram I would like to express my appreciation to (faculty member's name) for Thank you! student's name (optional) Playing requests, getting fired Hello Culowhere This is Dave Edison. On Tuesday, Jan. 26th, I recieved word from Z-91 Programming Director Jeff Cress that I had been fired. It wasn't for the music I played or anything I said. It was for three reasons. (1): I forgot to sign off at the end of my Friday night (10pm- 2am) show. Under their "Gestapo Mentality" this carries a penalty of being suspended one airshift (show). (2): Naturally, I protested, writing a letter stating that I tried in vain to get in touch with Mark Mazanek (I didn' t talk to Mark but I did get his answering machine) so we could discuss the signing-off procedures. Nothing in my letter could have been described as a "personal insult or attack" to anyone at Z-91, but it becomes apparent that if you question their policies or actions then you quickly become an "undesirable." (3): That I signed the Operative Logs (the list of songs you're given to play) with variations of my name (some "obscene," some not). I have a very self- deprecating sense of humor and a reluctance to take myself too seriously. I was merely having fun. These folks didn't like it at all. They acted as if I had written heinous grafitti about them and their parents. Again, as with (2), there were no personal insults involved. BuL still, I was fired. This seems to me to be very unethical. It also seems as if there was a conspiracy to get rid of me (which was something I mentioned in the letter I wrote to Mazanek) and that they would have found another excuse to terminate my employment. My only real crime, it appears, was playing the music that YOU, the listening audience, called up and requested to hear. The majority of your requests (approximately 75%) were for Rock or Alternative music, not the Top 40 format which (except for "The Rock 'N' Roll Diner") Z-91 religiously adheres to. Throughout my short-lived stay at Z-91 I gained an audience (small or large, I have no idea) of "Z-91 Dave" See pg. 4 The opinions expressed on the Voices page are not the opinions of The Western Carolinian, the Carolinian staff, or Western Carolina University.
