8 WCnewsmagazine By Jennifer Scism * WGnewsmagazine As of January 15th, in the state of North Carolina, all psuedophedrine products will be placed behind the counter of all businesses who choose to sell them. This is the result of a recent mandate that was passed in the North Carolina legislature, Why will it be more dificult for dear old granny to purchase her medicine when she has a cold? Why will it be more of a hassle for parents to buy cold medicine for their children who tend to catch random viruses during the winter school months? This mandate is a result of methamphetamines! (On Wednesday, November 16th, Western Carolina University hosted a Methamphetamine Summit, At this summit, people who attended learned of the factors contributing to and resulting from the current outbreak of metham- phetamine production and abuse. North Carolina is not the state that has the largest problem with meth, but i's pretty close. As of November 16, 294 meth labs have been discovered and eradicated in North Carolina. The spread of meth is prevalent, and even regions of the state that did not have a meth situ- ation in previous years are now seeing the problem arise in their area, The western sector of North Carolina has the most severe reputation for methamphetamines. Rutherford and McDowell counties have the most rig- orous problems in our state. According to the State Bureau of Investigation, there were 57 meth labs eradiated from McDowell County as of November Sth. Rutherford County had 35 meth labs destroyed by law enforcement as of No- vember 9th as well. Also, recently $300,000 worth of methamphetamines was found in Gaston County. So where does Jackson County stand? As of November Sth, there had only been 2.meth labs uncovered in the county. However, this proves that meth is definitely here. Just because only two have been deait with does not mean that only two people abuse the drug or cook it. The staunching reality is that meth is in Jackson County and is probably very close to WCU. In his opening speech at the Meth Summit, Chancellor Bardo reminded the audience exactly why it is important for WCU to host such an event. He stated that while meth | is not a huge problem on campus, it is stil a very significant issue for WCU. Because the University speaks of developing Western North Carolina and bet- tering the lives of the people who live in the area, Chancellor Bardo said he feels that WCU is directly connected to the fight against methamphetamines. The Chancellor also referred to the drug policies and practices present here at WCU. He stated that students are very aware of the consequences of sell- ing or abusing drugs on campus. He also referred to the practice of narcotic informants in the dormitories. The Chancellor stated that these informants, who were regularly placed in dormitories, were there not to catch the person smok- ing one joint, but to catch the person selling and distributing drugs. The speakers at the Meth Summit included individuals from law en- forcement, social services and the media. A variety of topics concerning meth were discussed, and questions were asked of the panelists. Individuals from the SBI and the DEA were present to inform the public on what is being done to stop the spread of meth and what is soon to be carried out. Representatives from the NC Division of Social Services and the Child Maltreatment Evaluation Program at Mission Childrens Clinic were in attendance to provide information Meth summit sends message to NC: Dont get crunk around here! ontheeffects ofmeth on children. These representatives also provided informa- tion on the process of intervention into meth households. They made is very apparent that the hardest hit victims of meth are not only the abusers, but the children as well. These children suf- fer the same effects of the drug, even though they do not abuse it themselves. Their health declines, and they are at risk for several other hor- rible tendencies. Sto- ries of chemical burns, knowledge of the location of loaded weapons, torture, sexual abuse, and mental and emotional shutdown haunt children caught in this battle. The keynote speaker was the NC Attorney General, Roy Cooper. Coo- per urged the listeners to not give up. He stated that he has hopes of creating a task force that combines local, state and federal governments efforts and resources in order to tackle meth. Cooper also talked about pouring more re~ sources into aiding abusers. I don't think we have done enough in that area, Cooper said. Making sure that pseudophedrine stays behind the counters at drug stores was another essential step that Cooper mentioned, along with re- minding law enforcement officers to communicate with retailers. The idea be- hind this is that cookers and abusers who repetitively purchase goods used in the production process will be caught. Cooper also stated the need for con- gress to become more involved in this process. Children were another concern of Cooper's as well. He stated that he wants more education and training to be made available to Social Services and representatives in the field. This summit was a huge event that attracted hundreds of people from across the state. Hopefully, some of the issues brought up at the Summit will be taken into consideration by law enforcement, Social Services and the media. A report will be created by the WCU Public Policy Institute on the results of this summit in the near future. The results of this report will be based on surveys that participants at the summit filled out and from discussions with the a ence and the panelists. N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper speaks ata methamphetamine summit Wednesday, Nov. 16, hosted by Western Carolina Universitys Public Policy Institute. (photos by Ashley T. Evans) Facebook Group of the Month: Join this Group By Ryan Fussell + Wenewsmagazine Although it has a simple title with a simple cause and encompasses a large group, Join this Group may be one of the largest groups that is hardly known. Topping in at 487 members, Join this Group has done well to promote itself for its exact clause. Simply put, the creator of the group built it on the premise of getting anyone and everyone at Westem to join the group. A similar concept shows up at other schools in the form of groups such as Everyone at Smith University. The goal is to get such a large group on Facebook that every student at the institute is a member of the group. As many students remain adamant about not joining Facebook or for some reason are unable to do so, this is close to impossible to achieve. Yet itis attempted time and time again at schools across the land. Join this Group gives a litle something more. It's not just being a part of something that is arbitrary to its design; it's the generous time taken by its creator to supplement every member with their own officer title. While the name generally has nothing to do with anything, it gives that small feeling of belonging that members don't get at generic groups found at other institutes. Figuring the number of students that are members of the group thus far in comparison to the entire student body, Join this Group has managed to enlist around 6.5% of the student body. Skewed by the use of the student body enrollment as compared to the actual number of students on Facebook, the percentage may actually be higher, but in due time perhaps this group will reach out to the whole.
