  • September 17,1997 Volume 63, Issue 6 inian western Carolina university's in e n ent student voice Alcohol Cited in Teen Death by Terry K. Roberts Timothy Charles Hensley, a 15-year-old male non-student from Madison County, died of apparent alcohol poisoning while on a camping trip at Lake Glenville (Thorpe Reservoir). Accompanying Henley were six Western Carolina University students, including his sister, and one other non-student. According to Detective Darrin Young of the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, all were under the legal drinking age of 21. Although the incident is still under investigation, sources report that Henseley was drinking and that at some point on Sunday morning he was found unconscious and not breathing. As some of the group administered CPR others found their way to a phone and call the « ttl _, Glenville/Cashiers EMS. The EMS team madneSS found Hensley uncon- „ scious. He was pro- milSt Stop, nounced dead at the g,^ ^ scene and subsequently transported to in response Harris Regional, then to the Chief Medical tO the Examiner's office in Chapel Hill. Autopsy results are due by the end of the week and final results in three weeks according to Detective Young. In responce to the incident, Chancellor John Bardo stated, "We are stunned and saddened at the news of this senseless tragedy. Our first thoughts are of the family and of the deep pain that all involved in this matter are experiencing. "While this tragic event did not happen on our campus or at a university event, it did involve members of our university family. As a family, we grieve for the loss. Our counselors and residence hall staff are working to support the students most directly affected. "Western Carolina University has taken the lead, in a very public way, in addressing issues of abusive and destructive behavior and to foster student understanding of core fundamental values of responsible behavior. We have taken some major steps on the campus, but this incidence shows how far all of us have to go. All members of the Western family must be leaders in changing the culture that allows this kind of tragedy to occur. "America must get the message to its young people that alcohol and fun are not synonymous words. Alcohol abuse is madness. The madness must stop. There are people today for which that message is indelibly written; and gone forever is a young man for whom that message might have meant everything. "The madness must stop." incident. Merchants Respond to Tabloid Taboo by Seth R. Sams Since the accusations of the paparazzi's suspected involvement in the death of Princess Diana of Wales, tabloids are being viewed in a different light—even here in Jackson County. Reports that were leaked to the French and British media from the French police confirm doctors' reports on the conduct of paparazzi members while medics tried to save the life of Princess Diana. The New York Post reported on September 11 that "The paparazzi were 'virulent, pushing, while continuing to take photos, deliberately preventing help from being given to the victim.'" Since reports like these reveal misconduct on the part of the paparazzi and tabloids in general, the displaying of such printed media is being questioned, including here in Sylva and surrounding Jackson County. Perry Witt, the manager of Food Lion 1175 in Sylva, stated that a company-wide e-mail had been sent to all managers asking that tabloids be removed "should there be any customer complaints." Witt said that no complaints had yet been made. Wal-Mart of Sylva has yet to remove any tabloids from its shelves. Store management could not be reached for comment. However, an employee of the Wal-Mart Supercenter who asked to be quoted anonymously said, "Wal-Mart will remove tabloids At Ingles in Sylva, the tabloid shelves are stripped of controversial headlines. Photo by Seth Sams. from their shelves only if requested by the home office." Ingles of Sylva has taken what seems to be the most active policy on removing tabloids in the area. Harold Coggins, the store manager, stated that Ingles made a request for all store managers to "review all tabloids and those with questionable content were not to be displayed." Coggins also stated that both the En quirer and the Star had been removed from his store's shelves this past week. The Globe and the News, the two other tabloids regularly carried by Ingles, have been sold out; both contained tributes to Princess Diana. People and Newsweek, both magazines containing articles and pictures on the late Princess Diana, are also currently sold out at Ingles and Wal-Mart. Western Carolina Unveils Coastal Ferry The Edward Hyde in all its purple-and-gold splendor. by Ricky Lee Saturday, September 6, Chancellor John W. Bardo and several other dignitaries presided over the unveiling ceremony of a coastal ferry dedicated to Western Carolina University. Motor Vessel Edward Hyde was decorated in Western's purple-and-gold and the university seal as part of an effort by the N.C. Department of Transportation to make its ferries more attractive. The fifteen other campuses in the University on North Carolina system are also represented on individual ferries. The opening event, at which the Chancellor spoke briefly, began at 11 a.m. at the Manns Harbor Marine Facility in Manns Harbor, N.C. and was open to the public. Following the ceremony, guests boarded the ship for a short cruise along coastal waters and a "ferry party" hosted by the WCU Alumni Association. The ferry is now in regular operation between Ocracoke Island and Swan Quarter.
