Molan Nolan talks with Dr. Bryan
Nolan Featured Speaker
By Maureen Ingalls
Earlier this month, Molly
Nolan, senior history major
was featured speaker and
guest of the Chapel Hill
Medical School. Addressing
the freshmen class of 1300,
Nolan spoke on the relation
ship of “Disability and Per-
sonhood.”
The focus of Nolan’s
discussion with the students
was of her own experiences
as a disabled person and in
her own words, “...how the
doctors misinterpreted my
diability and discredited me
from being a whole person.”
The rather informal question
and answer session allowed
students to address Nolan
with questions which “per-
teiined to my personal life and
to my disability itself,” she
said.
Arranged cojently through
Bob Martin, member of the
Student Life office, and
James Bryan, Professor of
Internal Medicine at Chapel
Hill, the impetus for such
dialogue was to form
“humaneness in the field of
medicine.” Each individual
has had long standing in
terest in medicine and ethics.
Nolan was not only speak
ing to a large group of pro
spective doctors but to a
group of concerned and
receptive individuals opting
for a particular profession. It
is her hope that “...in some
way this will help future vic
tims of Cerebral Palsey not
to go through the same ex
perience as I did and, lastly,
for a selfish reason of that
ever striving goal to convince
people that disability does
not rule out personhood.”

The mechanical control
would be a winter drawdown
program and a deepening of
the lake. Part of the reason
for our present predicament
is that the lake was built im
properly. When the swamp
was dredged to create Lake
Moore, it was built too
shallow. The lake’s lack of
steep sides, abundance of
tree stumps, and average
water depth of 3-5 feet
creates problems such as the
bladderwort explosions.
continued from Page 1
To inhibit the growth of
unwanted weeds such as
bladderwort, one has to take
advantage of the plant’s
weaknesses. Since bladder
wort can not handle freezing
temperatures, drawing down
the lake between December
and February whould expose
the plants and kill a major
portion of the bladderwort
population. Since it w'ould be
quite expensive to dredge the
lake again, lowering the
water level would also in
crease the flow rate, and
remove excess organic
material from the lake
system.
The draw down program is
a long-term remedy whereas
the Diquat treatment is a
short-term remedy. It would
take 5 years to remove 90%
of the harmful vegetation in
the lake with the mechanical
control whereas the chemical
control would be more im
mediate. However, if we use
the chemical control for the
entire lake, we woul still have
to draw down the lake level
every couple of years to
maintain its condition.
Naturally, draining the lake
is unsightly, but we do know
that it is ecologically safe and
that little to no cost is involv
ed.
