  • western ■ • • arolmian Ifeatures October 1, 1997 New Drug Has Drastic Effects Across the Country Brian Postelle WCU's Counseling and Psychological Services has been alerted to the growing popularity of a new drug, GHB. An e-mail from the University of Miami describes the drug as "like a Roofie [Ruphenol, known as the date-rape drug], but stronger." The e-mail was sent after the death of two people in South Beach who allegedly took the drug. GHB, chemically known as gamma hydroxy butyrate, is sold under many names, including Liquid X, Grievous Body Harm, Cherry Menth, and Easy Lay. It is commonly distributed as a milky white liquid, and taken orally, although there have been cases where it has been injected directly into the bloodstream. The drug has been used as an anesthetic in some countries, but is not approved for any purpose in the U.S. Originally, GHB was sold to bodybuilders as a steroid alternative. Ingestion promotes slow-wave sleep, a state in which muscle building hormones are produced in the body. GHB was then noticed by the dance and club scene, and its popularity quickly spread throughout Europe and the US. Besides the Miami incident, cases of hospitalization and death have been reported in Texas, New York, and California. It has also been used, like ruphenol, as a "date rape" drug. GHB is a central nervous system depressant, and its effects on the body differ with each person as well as with varying dosages. While initial reactions include euphoria and lowered inhibitions, larger amounts have resulted in nausea, amnesia, seizures, coma, and, as shown in Miami, death. Combining of GHB with alcohol and other drugs can increase the likelihood of an overdose. Although GHB is illegal to manufacture or distribute, possession is not yet illegal under federal law. Illegal production of the drug has sometimes resulted in higher toxicity due to the mixture of ingredients such as sodium hydroxide. Cases of surreptitious use, such as GHB being slipped into someone's drink, have been documented, and GHB is gaining a status as a new "date rape" drug. Lowered inhibitions and memory loss make GHB as effective as Ruphenol. Two date rape cases possibly involv ing Ruphenol were reported on Western's campus last year. Although no cases of GHB use have been reported on WCU's campus, Dr. Chris Gunn of Counseling and Psychological Services maintains that students should be aware of the drug. Gunn warns that GHB is "not just an easy recreational drug," and that it can have drastic side effects. Gunn encourages anyone that has a drug problem or that has been sexually assaulted to seek counseling. Counseling is available at all times, and cases are kept confidential. Offices are located on the first floor of Scott dorm. The best way to be protected from "date rape" drugs, according to Gunn, is to keep an eye out for each other. At parties, if it looks like someone is showing adverse symptoms, or may be in a risky situation, it is up to others to watch out for him or her. "We're missing something these days," says Gunn,"about being responsible for each other. [Students] have a responsibility to keep themselves safe, but we're not going to make it far if we don't take responsibility to keep other people safe and look out for their best interests." Taulbert Delivers 'Homegrown' Message By Daniel Hooker A little bit ofthe old South made a stop in Coulter Recital Hall on Monday, September 22. Clifton Taulbert, an accomplished African-American writer, spoke to a relatively large crowd about his humble beginnings in the small Mississippi town of Glen Allan. Taulbert is the author of works such as Once Upon a Time... When We Were Colored, The Last Train North, and his most recent book, Eight Habits ofthe Heart. {Catherine Byer, who introduced Taulbert, said that the program was a success. "Thanks to the funding by the North Carolina Arts Council and work by the Minority Student Affairs [it was successful]. We were lucky to get him." Taulbert is the first in a long line of authors scheduled to read at Western as part of WCU's Visiting Writers Series. Clifton Taulbert used a combination of reading and reciting from his four books to deliver the touching message which he titled "The Wealth of Having a Little." "I want everyone to realize the core of our common humanity and be brave enough to accept it, stand for it, and defend it," stated Taulbert. "Any time a young person, student, who's moving into the future has the opportunity to experience not only written word, but the person who writes that word, I think that it gives them hope and courage," he added. Highlights of Taulbert's narratives included tales of his great-grandfather's 1949 Buick and how he accompanied his greatgrandfather on trips to the nearby town of Glenville. Included were tales of growing up, intertwined with memories of baseball cards and bubble gum. The main points involved with "Any time a young person, student, who's moving into the future has the opportunity to experience not only written word, but the person who writes that word, I think that it gives them hope and courage." Taulbert's oration was the ignorance behind racial and cultural boundaries. He gave great commentary on the black community in the South and the ways he and those around him overlooked the pigmentation of his skin to see the person held within. "The South is my home, but it's also much bigger. I think [a story from the South] has value to people no matter where they are," stated Taulbert. Through his gift of written word, Taulbert touched many that were in attendance. "It was good," freshman Scott Harrelson remarked. "I was inspired by Mr. Taulbert's words. The introduction of the personal side to the American past was both entertaining and informative." Director of Minority Student Affairs Brian Bridges echoed the high praises set forth by Harrelson. "More than anything else, that thing that will rest in my soul for the duration of my years, I will remember the impact [Taulbert] had on the students." Bridges added, "I am pleased that he had such a positive effect on the students." The evening concluded with a book sale and signing by Clifton, along with refreshments and reflection upon the reading. Byer remarked that Taulbert had one of the best book sales/signings in the Visiting Writers Series history.

Saturday — Return on Monday l_ocaud on Old 107 "Me and My Girl" will be at the Ramsey Center at 7:30 pm, Friday, October 10. by Jerylia Kodia Western Carolina University's cultural events series for 1997-98 will begin Friday, October 10, with the stage classic "Me and My Girl." The musical-comedy, which won three Tony Awards, is considered Broadway's biggest musical-comedy hit. The Gateway Theatrical Company's version of "Me and My Girl" will be staged at 7:30 p.m. in the Ramsey Center. "Me and My Girl" is the age-old story of the poor, unpolished young man who suddenly finds he has been thrust into high society. It is an entirely new world, where none of the rules are the same or make sense. Bill Snibson is a cockney Bloke who inherits the title and fortune of the Earl of Hareford. However, before Bill can touch his inheritance, he must convince the Duchess Maria and Sir John Tremayne that he is suited to the English aristocracy. This means giving up his old friends from the lower class Lambeth section of London and his girlfriend, Sally Smith. Throughout the play, Bill tries to fit in (with hilarious consequences), avoid the seductive glances of Lady Jaqueline, and prove to the Duchess that his girlfriend Sally can fit into the high society mold and live with him at Hareford. The New York Times called "Me and My Girl" "a never-say-die British musical." This lighthearted and delightful musical has made people laugh all over the world since 1937, when it was first produced. "A honey, the kind of a show that once gave Broadway a good name," raved New York Post theatre critic Clive Barnes. "It has humor, dancing, wit and a deft expertise that takes your heart away." Tickets for this three-star event at WCU are $15 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and WCU employees and $5 for children and non-WCU students. Western Students will be admitted free of charge. For tickets, call the Ramsey Center box office at (704)- 227-7722.
