The Reporter News from the Faculty and Staff of Western Carolina University March 7,1994 In quotes this week "As the number of television channels grows by the hundreds, if we in universi­ties are smart—and if we can get our corporate partners to come down from the clouds of superhype—we have ready-made in many colleges and universities an extraordinary quantity of educational programs that could be put into the bandwidth at very little cost . . . The telephone, cable, and other communica­tions companies now fighting over control of the superhigh­way ought to invest a tiny fraction of the huge sums they will spend on acquisitions, takeover fees, and hardware purchases to help us translate the academic substance of the university into cyberspace John V. Lombardi, president of the University of Florida, in the Chronicle of Higher Education Cullowhee, North Carolina Violence, vitamins, and more Anumber of interest­ing workshops and presentations are in the works for the Western Carolina Univer­sity campus during March. Here are some you'll want to look for: • If you're concerned about school violence, you'll be interested in two presenta­tions by Dr. Don Hellison, who will visit Cullowhee on Friday, March 11. A University of Illinois - Chicago professor with an extensive background in working with at-risk children, Hellison will present "Teaching Respon­sibility to Today's Kids" 9 a.m.-noon in Reid Gym and "Programs for At-Risk Kids, Problems and Possibilities" 1:30- 3 p.m. in the Botner Conference Room of Killian Building (Room 104). Hellison has written four books and more than forty articles on helping children develop self-responsibility. Faculty members are encouraged to bring their classes to both presentations. • "Vitamins, Minerals, and Other Supplements: Do I Need Them?" will be presented twice on Mon­day, March 14, as part of the Women's Health Series of the College of Applied Sciences. Times for the program, to be presented in Brown Cafeteria by Dr. Noelle Kehrberg, professor of human environmen­tal sciences, are 11:3 0 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 12:45-1:45 p.m. All WCU students and members of the faculty and staff are invited. Bring a lunch or go through the cafeteria line. Information: call Becky Olson at 227-7118. • Computer worries? No need to despair! March also brings the final three workshops in the University Computer Center's "Spring Training" series. "WordPerfect Office 4.0," to be held 3-4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 9, and Thursday, March 10, will show the application in Windows, DOS, and Macintosh systems (but will emphasize Windows 3.1). Basic knowledge of the program is required. "Windows 3.1," the second workshop, will introduce and cover basics of that program. Time is 3-5 p.m. Tuesday or Wednesday, March 15 or 16. The series's final offering, "FileMaker Pro 2.0," is set for 3-5 p.m. Tues­day, March 22, and Thurs­day, March 24. This inter­mediate class will require basic knowledge of FileMaker Pro. For more information on workshops or how to register, call the Computer Center at 227-7282. How to get started with nonprofit groups Interested in working with nonprofit groups? The university's "NonProfit Network," headquartered in the Center for Improv­ing Mountain Living (CIML), will hold an orientation session on Friday, March 11, for members of the faculty and staff who have volunteered to serve as trainers, consultants, mentors, and workshop facilitators. The session is open to anyone interested in serving the nonprofit community in Western North Carolina. Leslie Takahashi of the North Carolina Center for NonProfits will speak to participants, as will Dr. Pauline Christensen, dean of continuing education and summer school. Time for the session, to be held in Madison Hall, is 2-4 p.m. A reception will follow. With help from faculty and staff members, the NonProfit Network and Continuing Education will offer off-campus workshops on topics from board recruitment to publications to program evaluation. Sign up for the orien­tation session by Wednes­day, March 9, by calling Monica Hinton at CIML at 227-7492. Western contribution Sue Persons (Health, Physical Education, and Recreation), chair of the campuswide State Employees Combined Cam­paign, presents a check for more than $25,400 to Gene McAbee (Public Safety), president of the Jackson County United Way. Some $13,200 of the total was designated for the Jackson County United Fund. The rest will go to various national, state, and local agencies. WNC students at WCU Students from the eleven-county area surrounding WCU made up almost half (46.5 percent) of our enrollment in fall 1993. Here's how that near-half breaks down by county: 737 Other WNC counties (Clay, Graham, Madison, and Transylvania) had less than 100 WCU students each.

Rorabacher, 87, a member of the WCU English faculty from 1964 The Reporter is published by the Office of Public Informa­tion every other Monday during fall and spring semesters, except during final exams. 1,450 copies of this public document were printed at a cost of $2 08.15, or $0.14 per copy. Western Carolina University is an Equal Opportunity Institution. orabacher dies to 1969, died recently in Tampa, Florida. Rorabacher served WCU in the last years of her career and lived in Jackson County until the early 1980s. She also taught at Purdue Univer­sity and provided teaching services for the United States Army in Korea and Japan. A specialist in Austra­lian literature, Rorabacher compiled two anthologies in the 1960s and wrote definitive studies on prom­inent Australian writers. Grants and contracts news This column from the Office of Research and Graduate Studies focuses on issues, initiatives, and deadlines in grants and contracts activities. The rapidly expanding use of computer technology in healthcare settings is challenging WClTs nurse educators to establish opportunities for themselves and students to use comput­ers in nursing courses. Mable Carlyle and Vivian Deitz (Nursing) have received a grant to improve the nursing program's teaching-learning process by establishing a nursing education computer network on the Cullowhee campus for junior nursing majors and a network on the UNCA campus for senior nursing students; implementing computer-assisted instruc­tion (CAI); and implement­ing computer-assisted interactive video instruction into the classroom and laboratory environments. The purpose of establish­ing the computer network and learning activities iB to supplement and enrich clinical classroom learning experiences for nursing students. Nursing faculty members acknowledge that WCU's nursing majors are self-directed adult learners who would greatly benefit from self-paced CAI and from the instructional flexibility afforded faculty by using computer-assisted interactive video. Using the computers and related equipment allows develop­ment of critical thinking simulations via clinical case studies, drill and practice for mathematical calcula­tions for drugs and solu­tions, tutorials, and testing to evaluate knowledge and readiness for clinical practice assignments and examinations, including the NCLEX-RN licensure examination. Funds to support this education project have come in part from the Helene Fuld Health Trust.

PERMIT NO. 1 The Reporter • M arch 7,1994 Tne Reporter News from the Faculty and Staff of Western Carolina University Around the world in a day March 21,1994 In quotes this week "In the last few years, in academe and in society at large, many groups have begun to build the foundation on which to conduct serious conversation. . . . Around campuses, groups of individuals work in different locations— private homes, classrooms, faculty offices, committee rooms, disci­plinary meetings, or on e-mail—to discuss issues that divide us. Like many such grassroots activities, they lack a tidy structure and organization. Together, however, these groups make up an 'evolving center9 in higher education. We must nurture their growth—and protect them from some extremes of behavior and rhetoric.* Catharine R. Simpson, of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, in the Chronicle of Higher Education | T Time capsule Western prize: During this month a decade ago, Chancellor H.F. Robinson announced a new competitive award for the university's support personnel. Known today as the Outstanding Support Staff Award, it has been presented ten times to staff members who demon­strate professionalism, loyalty, and a cooperative spirit. The eleventh award will be given in June. It's a breeze.... Just head for WCU's annual International Festival T i is a rite of spring— I T" one of many—for li the Western Caro­lina University community. Students who have come to WCU from twenty to twenty-five dif­ferent nations around the i world gather each April to demonstrate elements of their countries' cultures at the "International Festi­val" on campus. The fifteenth annual festival is set for Thurs­day, April 7, in the Grand-room of the University Center. Activities will last . from 10 a*m* until 3 p.m. Presenting sights, sounds, and tastes of the world, the International Festival is sponsored by ] the International Club, with assistance from the I Office of Student Develop­ment and international student adviser Dick Cameron, director of student services. Authen­tic dress, costumes, and colorful emblems, as well as foods from some ten nations, will accompany video presentations and native entertainment throughout the day. "We have two main goals with this festival," Cameron said. "The first is to help people around campus experience a bit of some cultures they other­wise may never contact. The second is to help international students feel more at home in the WCU community by allowing them to share something of where they came from with their new neighbors." The festival is free and open to the public. If you have questions or suggestions, particularly regarding possibilities for entertainment, call Cameron in Student Development at 227-7234.
