TECHNIQUES — Catching a trophy-size rainbow, brook or brown trout requires knowing
where to look and how to fish. Western Carolina University’s Camper College has resident
experts with sound advice on both spinner and fly fishing. They will be knee-deep in trout
fishing this summer in Cherokee’s Oconaluftee River from late June through August. (WCU

CHEROKEE lf you’re
looking for a typical
vacation in the Great
Smokey Mountains this
year, load up the car and
spend the weekend riding
from overlook to overlook,
seeing all your windshield
has to offer.
But, that isn’t the only
way to see the Smokies.
There’s an atypical alter
native. It’s called Camper
College.
Camper College is
designed to get you out of
your car and into a kayak,
backpack or canoe, or
perhaps just down a moss
lined trail to get away from
the crowds. If you aren’t
careful, you may wind up
with a rainbow or brown
trout on the end of your
fishing line, or learn how to
clog to Old Joe Clark or
Cripple Creek.
Camper College is a series
of vacation courses offered

Continuing Education on the
Cherokee Indian Reser
vation and in the adjoining
Great Smokey Mountains
National Park. The idea is to
provide visitors an op
portunity to really ex
perience the Smokies.
You don’t have to be a
camper to enroll. There are
no grades. The classes are
small and the emphasis is on
quality instruction. Camper
College strives to help
visitors get lost in their
adventures, not in the
crowds.
In its third year of
operation, Camper College
is open from late June
through August. There are
no special admission
requirements. Just schedule
your vacation to be in the
Cherokee area on the days
the classes are taught,
usually Fridays and
Saturdays. Class hours are
from 9 A. M. to 4 P. M., and
most courses are offered
more than once during the
day.

workers and construction
increasing by 2,100 workers.
Agriculture experienced a
sizeable increase of 9,200
workers.
Average weekly earnings

Camper College, the first
family member is charged

apply to kayaking and
canoeing courses. There are
also special reduced rates
available for groups of 10 or
more persons.
A $35 value coupon book

Raleigh Round-Up: 20-Day Session Is Concluded
By Mildred Hoskins
RALEIGH - Hurry up and
wait became the order of the
three days remaining of the
mini-session of the 1979 Geneal
Assembly. But, in spite of all the
hang-ups, the white han
dkerchiefs dropped and the
gavel pounded in both houses
Simulatneously about 4 P.M.
Wednesday and, just days
after the session convened, it
adjourned, sine die.
There will be much
examination of what they did
there and as many opinions as
there are people and experts
doing the examining. The
governor thinks, according to
his latest statements, it took care
of most of his proposals and, in
spite of attacks, his budget
survived practically intact.
Republicans, with an election
coming up and their hopes up
for Ailing more seats in state
government, think the policy of
“cash flow”, which changes the
method of financing highway
contracts, is unwise and un
constitutional andthey are joined
by a few Democratic members
of the General Assembly who
spent much time and effort to
remove it from the budget bill.
One of the back row occupants
labeled the system “cash
overflow”. There were fights
over increasing interest rates
by banks and thrift institutions
and the lobbyists had to take on
the consumer advocates in
committees and on the floor of
the two houses. As a matter of
fact that issue held up ad
journment a full 24 hours as the
senate, which had threatened to
go home “to let the house catch
19 on its work”, debated right
down to the wire and finally
approved a watered-down
measure which means little to
anyone.
Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr., in
his news conference Wed
nesday, said he thought the
General Assembly really tried
to do too much in too little time,
and there are many of us who
agree with him. He termed the
Early Warning
Signs, Cures
For Career
Burnout
By Ramona Spencer
CHAPEL HILL There’s a
new way to describe the age-old
problem of getting fed up with
work. It’s career burnout, and
almost everybody suffers from
some of its symptoms.
Dr. Bruce Baldwin, clinical
associate professor in the
department of psychiatry of the
Univeristy of Neath Carolina at
Chapel Hill School of Medicine,
says a person becomes burned
out in a career when he or she is
destruciively overinvolved in
work activities over a long
period of time.
“When you’re burned out, you
don’t feel good about yourself as
a person or as a professional,”
Baldwin says. “You become
irritable, constantly tired,
bored and resentful.”

increase in pay and retirement
for state employees and
especially school person el as
the most important matters
added to the law books. But, of
course, those items took up
most of the $358-million which
was available for the sup
plementary budget. There was
little left for the members to
distribute in the districts and so
the result was a lot of disap
pointments for members who
had special appropriation bills
for projects back home.
As usual, there was a bit of a
fight, over ABC legislation. But
after the ususal messages from
those members who have to
fight the evils of drink at each
session, the little bill to allow
such small towns as Nags and
Kitty Hawk to vote on liquor-by
the-drink issue, was passed.
Also true to form, someone
came up with a wildlife bill and
this time it was Rep. Jack Hunt
of Cleveland with a little local
bill to regulate raccoon hunting
in certain counties in his
district. This one came up so
late in the session it just got
under the wire. The eminent
dentist from Cleveland had to
take a lot of ribbing from his
colleagues when he first filed a
resolution which would allow
him to introduce the lull. This
was the process which was
necessary and then he had to file
the bill, move to have it put on
the calendar for immediate
consideration and then passed
on three readings. Finally the
house passed this bill and sent it
to the senate by special
messenger with the comment
from Speaker Carl Stewart:
“Well, there it goes and it could

beat the whole delegation”.
That’s how strongly people feel
about wildlife bills.
At the beginning of ad
journment week, there were all
sorts of signs that “We Wanna
Go Home”, as the song goes.
Rep. Douglas Clark of Duplin
had his basket of candies atop
the books on his desk so that
hungry and weary members
could snatch a few caloreis. He
was, correctly, anticipating
long sessions. Then, there were
a number of visitors in the
galleries and the speaker was
particularly gracious in
recognizing them. One group
included Republican candidates
who appeared to look over the
place they hope to become more
familiar with after the
November election. The
speaker recognized “the loyal
opposition” and many of the
Democratic members who are
being challenged, frowned at
the large number of them.
That brought a comment
from Rep. P.C. Collins of
Alleghany as he arose to make
his usual motion, which is to
Append the rules so that food
»ddrink may be brought to the
floor. He said: “Mr. Speaker, I
rise to make my usual motion.
But I want to say I saw a
number of nice-looking
Republicans up there in the
gallery, but I don’t think any of
them could do as good a job as
we do”. That got him a
favorable vote on his motion.
—O—
Later in that lengthy Monday
evening session, Rep. George
Miller of Durham was trying to
explain a senate bill which had
come out of his Election Laws
committee. It had to do with
candidates resigning from their
positions in other offices to run
for another. The Gentleman
from Durham had done the best
he could with Sen. Craig
La wing’s bill when Rep. Henry
Fry of Guilford, who is known
as the poet laureate of the
house, arose to ask a question of
the Durham legislator. “For
whom were you having pity
when you allowed this bill to get
out of your committee?”
The committee chairman had
not given a satisfactory answer
when Rep. A1 Adams of Wake
asked, “Isn’t that the position
taken by Republicans?” To
which Mr. Miller replied,“l
try not to listen to
Republicans.”
After a few more comments,
a motion to table the matter
passed 66 to 42 and the speaker
said: “We must not let that
word get out!”
How could those upstarts over
in the house table a bill in
troduced by the president of the
senate!!!
—O —
As the final measures were
passed back and forth between
the two houses and bills were
ratified, the speaker allowed
the house to “be at ease”. That
only allowed some further talk
but of a different sort. There was
no further debate. . .no wan
dering around the floor with
their bills in their hand seeking
support from their colleagues..
.no committee reports. . .but
time to reflect. The two years of
camaraderie was coming to a
close and several of the
members would not be back
Thursday, July 3, 1980
while others just might not
survive the November election.
A few of the veteran house
members had chosen not to seek
re-elction, some had elected to <1
run for the senate and there
were some who did not survive
the May primary. So, tributes
were paid to these and to each
other as the process of
forgetting differences on issues
began and reminiscences set in.
There were broken voices as the
members said their goodbyes
and pledged to hold these times
dear. Then, of course, there
were some fun things to break
up the sadness.
Rep. Liston Ramsey of
Madison, who has the votes to
become the next speaker of the
house, was paying tribute to Dr.
John Gamble of Lincoln, who
chose not to run again. After his
glowing remarks, Rep. Ernest
Messer of Haywood arose to ask
a question of Mr. Ramsey.
“Mr. Ramsey, since you will
be making appointments in the |
next session in January, whom
do you propose to take the {dace
of Dr. Gamble, who has patched
us all up from time to time as
well as served so well as a
legislator?”
“Well,” drawled the Moun
taineer, “since you are pretty
well known for your catfish
amendments, I. have sort of
been considering you for that
position.” |
During one of the lengthy
waiting periods, Rep. Sam
Bundy of Pitt, who usually has a
comment on about everything,
was serious for once when he
eulogized Rep. Horton Roun-
