  • ditorial October 28,1998 irilolrl Let Me Drink Dear Editor, I am a citizen of the United States. I have the right to vote for the leaders of my country. I have the privilege of attending a university; I have the option of getting married, finding a job, and supporting a family. I have the responsibility of serving my country if that need arises. I can attend a college, get a job, father a baby, or die for my country, yet I can't drink a beer at the end of the day without realizing I'm breaking the law. Something isn't fair! The drinking age needs to be lowered to eighteen simply because keeping it at twenty- one has negative consequences. First of all, if the reason for the current drinking age is to keep the immature population from drinking, then making it illegal only results in the concept of drinking increasing in appeal. If the law were written because some people at age eighteen are not mature enough to handle drinking, then they are not responsible or mature enough to let a law dictate their behavior. They will be more determined than ever to drink because drinking makes them feel cool, accepted, and mature, which is logical since a person can't drink legally until reaching the designated age of maturity. When a person considers the crime in our society: teenagers and children blowing away classmates, innocent people killed in senseless bombings, and a President who lies under oath, my drinking a beer is pretty insignificant. Sincerely,' Paul B. Reynolds, III Don't Chastise Victims Letter to the Editor No wonder victims of rape and other sexual assaults rarely charge their assailants? There are very real and painful consequences associated with speaking out, as the letter "Don't Cry Wolf on Rape" in last week's Carolinian indicates. Two rape victims found enough courage to begin telling the rest of us about their experiences, probably hoping some of us would want to do something to prevent such assaults. Perhaps even extend a modicum of sympathy and support. Too often the response to such victims is like last week's letter. Instead of attacking the perpetrators, the letter writer questioned whether the victims acted in an unladylike manner, went to a party, had anything to drink, flirted, stupidly went into the wrong room, and then lied about the whole thing. Shockingly, the correspondent was a young woman! Ms. Jacobs, you might be surprised to learn that victims do not "bring on" rapes. It doesn't matter where they go, how they dress or even if they're nude, what they drink or how much, or even if they flirt outrageously. No matter how diligently women prepare themselves and how guarded they conduct themselves, they may still become rape victims. Even female police officers and women who teach self-defense courses get raped. They did not go to parties or engage in the behavior you feel encourages rape. Instead of chastising rape victims, you might ask those who rape why they do it. Ask the rapists why they need to render a female unconscious or comatose to have sex with them. Ask them why they enjoy sex taken by force or deceit. You might discover that it's the power trip not the sex that motivates them. Rape is a violent criminal action. Normal, healthy people engage in sexual relations with partners who are able to give their consent, do so freely, and participate in the experience enthusiastically. That willing participation makes for great sex, meaningful intimacy, and even lasting relationships. Ms. Jacobs, you and the two rape victims who wrote to the Carolinian have the right to say "NO" whenever you choose. You also have the right to expect that every male will respect your wishes. You also have the right to responsive, sensitive treatment by everyone when a violent person assaults you. We must begin taking pleas for help seriously. We should assume all rape allegations are genuine. We should investigate all of them diligently. We should punish those guilty. For those falsely accused, there are legal remedies. John W. Moore Assistant Professor Rape Concerns Father Letter to the Editor: What is My Responsibility? Like Ms. Melissa Jacobs (letter to editor Don't Cry Wolf on Rape), I have been impacted by the flow of letters and the feature article by Phoebe Esmon "When One Drink is Too Many However, my reaction is quite different. You see, I am a father of a 10 year- old, bgy who will be out on his own in not too many years. As a young man he will have to make responsible decisions concerning his behaviors. I wonder, will he respect his fellow human beings? Will he understand the sanctity of a person's personal space? Will he recognize that part of his contribution to society is to preserve the dignity of all people and not take advantage of them when the opportunity arises?I'm sure the fathers who have sons who have participated in a rape of another person are not proud of this event. Surely they must question, "Could I have done something different with my son that would have helped him make a better decision?"Thanks to the letters my consciousness is being raised. I have a chance to examine my own thoughts and behaviors. I must ask myself, "Am I portraying to my son messages about relationships that say people are not to be valued and respected, that relationships are only about sexual exchange and satisfying individual needs, that you should take ads advantage of people if the opportunity presents itself ?" What conversations should I have with my son ? Thanks to the letters I have a lot of work to do. Dale Brotherton Teflon Don is Wrong To the Editor: This letter is in response to an article in the Sports (!) section of the Sept. 30, 1998 paper. The article was entitled "The 1998 Mountain Heritage Day Edition" by Don Costello. You missed some important parts of Mountain Heritage Day. To begin, it seems you missed the article on Mountain Heritage Day written by fellow staff person Phoebe Esmon (September 16). Esmon visited the Mountain Heritage Center and interviewed the staff about the festival. She wrote, "The Mountain Heritage Center brings some of the finest musicians and crafts people in the mountains to WCU." You also seem to have missed the MHD booklet. It offered succinct biographies on the Mountain Heritage Center participants, a map to the different areas and a time table of events. The booklet also explained (as did the one page flier) that the Center had an additional Circle Stage where musicians came and shared their unique styles of playing banjo, harmonica and mouth harp. The Circle was moderated by a folklorist from the John C. Campbell Folk School who has worked for over two decades studying, recording and presenting traditional music. I am sorry that you also missed the other events at the Mountain Heritage Center. Did I mention the Jackson County Historical Association gathering? The old-time string bands, gospel choirs and ballad singers? Or the slide-show on the Scotch-Irish migration that accompanied the Center's permanent exhibition? I am really sorry you never found your way to the Mountain Heritage Center. It's hard to miss us in the ground floor of the White House. If you'd come by, you could have seen someone using a cross- cut saw! We did have people making baskets, and we did have other participants doing beadwork and pottery. A number of the crafts people who were Cherokees from the Qualla Boundary. And all of the artisans demonstrated their skills and talked to festival visitors about their work. Finally, in answer to your question, "When do polish sausage and baklava qualify for Appalachian cuisine?" I defer to the Director of the Mountain Heritage Center and professor of history at WCU, Dr. Tyler Blethen. He said that Greek and Polish settlers have lived in the mountains of Western North Carolina for over a century! Traditions don't have to go back seven generations to qualify as traditions. So Don, I invite you to return to the 25th anniversary of Mountain Heritage Day next year. Take off your shades, read your program and look around more carefully. I think you might like what you see, taste and hear. This "pretty lame" festival has more to offer than you think! Sincerely, Emily Lower Folklorist-in-Residence Mountain Heritage Center Meal Programs Unfair To whom it concern, I am writing in the interest of all the students' well being. Students living in the dorms should not be forced to contribute to Western Carolina University's meal program Besides the fact that the food is unappetizing, it is highly overpriced. We could get the same nutritional value for a third of the price that we are paying now. We are to choose between a flex plan and a declining balance. These meal plans require a payment at the maximum of $874.00 to the minimum of $656.00 per semester. If at the end of the semester there is a balance of fifty dollars that fifty dollars is resumed. If there is a balance of two hundred dollars left still only fifty dollars is returned. But wasn't that our account! We are forced to spend our hard-earned money on food we did not eat. This requirement to purchase a meal plan is a moneymaking scandal. Instead of worrying about the quality of the brain food they feed us, which propels us through our classes each day, they make sure they are profiting from our purchase of the meal plans. At the high end of the meal plan balance, which is $874.00, we our expected to spend $7.00 per day. Now we all know that it is impossible to get a single meal, much less three meals on campus for that price. What you are is what you eat. Wouldn't you like to choose who you are? Sincerely, Kristina Hritz Starving student Phone: 11, Terry K. Roberts, Editor Donald Costello, Managing Editor Seth R.
