  • Western Carolinian October 14,1993 Features Page 9 Born: July 4,1960 Hometown: Gilt Edge, Tennessee Family: Steve and Travis - brothers Time in Military: 13 years Occupation: Army Officer by trade During the time that you served in the military, what is your most memorable experience? " a tank company for the Third Armor ing Desert Storm." Capt. James Fletcher (Photo by ASB) I commanded Division dur- What do you think of the students who do take part in the ROTC Program? "It is a four year program. The first two courses are basic; they are one hour a week and two hou r lab courses. The first two years are mainly for an introduction, mostly to find out what the program is about. Now the kids in the last two years in the program, which actually produces a commission, tend to be very bright kids. An average GPA for these kids is 3.3. Kids are very interested in the program, and they are easily motivated. If students take an interest in something and have fun at it, then they can easily motivated. Who had the greatest influence on your decision to be in the military, or in the ROTC program? "It is a standing tradition in my family to be in the military. As of right now, my generation has nine of us presently serving, and we cover all of the branches of the armed forces. ROTC is another assignment for us, the combat officers. Basically we are here for a two to three year tour and then we are sent back to field army." What would you suggest to students, of all types, that you would consider to be the most helpful advice in all of their decisions? "The most valuable lesson is to question everything, to form your own opinion. Don't just run off oh your emotional concerns. Spend a little time investigating the issues and form your own opinion instead of having someone giving it to you." "Pollution" from pg. 8 Park. Ozone damage to plants and trees such as poplar, white pine and black cherry is occurring throughout the southern Appalachian region. Ozone also damages agricultural crops. The main point of this article is to inform folks that air pollution is threatening the entire southern Appalachian ecosystem. The Great Smokies has been designated an international Biosphere Reserve; yet, air pollution is degrading this invaluable resource. Air pollution carries with it the costs, both economic and human, of increased human health problems. What can you do? Support and join Southern Appalachian Mountain Initiative (SAMI). This organization is a multi-state coalition of groups to heighten public awareness of the air pollution threat and to identify what local problems contribute to poor air quality. For more information about SAMI and the region's air quality problems, call Western North Carolina Alliance's Asheville office, (704) 258-8737. YOU CAN GET INVOLVED!!
