  • features 2 7, 1997 * August Foreign Study Opportunities at WCU by Ricky Lee Just because you are registered for classes here at Western Carolina University doesn't necessarily mean that you have to attend them here. A whole world of opportunity exists for students who wish to spend time in foreign lands. There are dozens of programs across the nation that send college students to study around the world. Most even allow students to pay for their studies with financial aid and scholarship money. So, instead of complaining about WCU's isolated atmosphere, why not do something about it? The following are just a few of the programs available to students at WCU. Summer in England Applications will become available next week for the English and history departments' next summer venture to the British Isles (birthplace of Hugh Grant, Sean Connery, and innumerable British rock groups). Curtis Wood of the history department and Karl Nicholas of the English department will lead a team of 13 or more students on a six-week tour of Scotland and England. The tour will include trips to London, where students will visit the new Globe Theater; Stratford-on-Avon, birthplace of Shakespeare; Canterbury; and Stonehenge. Accommodations are provided by Surrey, York, and Stirling Universities, where Western students will live in campus housing. Students will be expected to cook their own meals. The trip, which is open to all students, costs $2,500 and includes everything except food. Contact Nicholas at 227-7265 or Wood at 227-7243 to apply. Continuing Education in Europe For students wishing to study in Europe, WCU's Continuing Education office can arrange a semester abroad for little more than the cost of a semester at Western. There are special partnership programs between WCU and select European colleges and universities, including the University of Glanmorgan in Wales, Portsmouth University in England, the Hogeschool system in the Netherlands, and the Euro-American Institute of Technology in France. Courses are available in almost any major, and almost all credits are transferable to Western Carolina. Also, since many European schools teach third-year courses entirely in English, language isn't the problem one might anticipate. Students interested in studying abroad HHTH-H-I -ill— JACK LAURENCE Friday, September 12, 1997 9:00 p.m. Lake Junalauska Assembly, Stuart Auditorium Tickets may be purchased at the Terrace at Lake Junaluska Assembly General Admission $10 Advance $12 at door (very limited-Cash Only) (704) 2515505 MCUIglBMgC -FMawfiSS next fall need to begin making arrangements immediately. Contact Malcolm Loughlin in the Continuing Education office at 227-7397 for more information. Other Opportunities to Study Abroad Many other universities offer Study Abroad programs that are open to students from Western Carolina. Semesters and internships are available in London, Paris, Florence, Mexico, Australia, Japan, and elsewhere for amounts starting at around $5,400 a semester plus airfare. For information on such programs, as well as travel, work, and sightseeing tips, check out Student Travels Magazine, Work, Study, and Travel Abroad: The Whole Handbook (published by the Council on International Educational Exchange), and Western's own Office of Student Development. It's important to make sure that courses taken at foreign schools are transferable to Western Carolina. Remember to plan early (about a year in advance). Contact Dick Cameron in the Office of Student Development at 227-7234 for details. Remember, a passport is required in order to travel internationally. If you are planning to go abroad, you should start the paperwork now. Happy travels!

The Women's Studies Collection is part of the permanent collection being assembled by the Department of Art in anticipation of the new Fine and Performing Arts Center. The Women's Studies Collection was started almost ten years ago, when modernist painter Mary Parker (b. 1906) donated a major collection of her work. Parker decided to study art when it was considered unfashionable and inadvisable for a woman to do anything without permission. She attended Black Mountain School, where she learned revolutionary new ideas on art and life. Since Parker's initial gift, the collection has grown to include work by approximately 24 women artists and is the first collection of its kind in the southeast. Philadelphia-based artist-critic Bill Scott has been instrumental in aiding the Department of Art to assemble this valuable collection. Artists whose work Scott has helped the department obtain include Edith Neff, Jane Piper, Doris Staffel, Moy Glidden, Quita Brodhead, and Margaretta Gilboy. All of these artists are well-respected painters who have worked or been trained in Philadelphia. Most of them have pieces in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Some of these artists were incJ in luded _ the "Recent Acquisitions" exhibit that just closed, and all are featured in the current exhibition. . Other artists featured in the exhibition include Connie Bostic, Monica Teal, Ma ob Armstrong, Cici Stevens, and Joyce B • Stevens and Blunk were both artists-in-r dence at WCU last spring. oon Belk Gallery is open from 9 anl""t, and 1-4 p.m. on weekdays, or by app ment. For further details, please contac Art Department at 227-7210. Student Government Senator Application Will be available from August 18-29 at the SGA Office located in the University Center. All applications must be turned mw the SGA office by 5:00 pm on Aug"s 29. NO EXCEPTIONS!'-'! _
