  • Friday, October 9, 1964 The Western Carolinian Page 5 Cemetery Here Is Of Much Local Interest Western Carolina College has an over-abundance of day students this year due to the lack ot dormitory room. Many students of both sexes find their "newly acquired homes" in our college town, Cullowhee. One very perplexing problem which confronts the majority of these students is transportation. Usually, they employ their legs to carry them to and from their daily classes. This in turn bestows another penetrating and perplexing situation — whether to choose the route to class by walking next to the highway up and around Moss's General Store or take the mysterious and enchanting pathway through the Baptist church cemetery. Since the resting place for many former residents of Cullowhee offers to the students a shorter and quicker pathway, the students In turn bring a new and youthful existance to this old and dignified home for loved ones. Upon one's first hike up the winding path, various visions are sometimes witnessed in the newcomer's innocent mind. Yet as time continues, the progressed expedienced beholds an observance of different and intriguing thoughts which lay a foundation of a strong and flexible future. The head stones of the different graves can be seen in various sizes and designs. Some tower to the heavens in an overwhelming magnanimity, others are marked only through an obscure stone which has been given a symbolic and cherished memory meaning. The inscriptions to be found are many-fold: "Sometime, somewhere, we'll understand," "Our daughter is only sleeping," "She was a kind and affectionate wife, a fond Mother, and friend to all." These aftermath memories offer a sad thought for the mortal, and yet an inspiring, eternal message for the heritage of the departed. China Comes To Campus By Charlotte Wise Although Shaw-shien Fu has been in America for five years, he is teaching this year for the first time at WCC. A graduate of National University of Taiwan, Mr. Fu received his Master's degree in journalism from Ching-Chi University. Since he has been in America, Mr. Fu has earned a Master's degree in English from Marquette University and completed all the course work for his doctorate at the University of Wisconsin. "I think Cullowhee is very fine. The first day I was somewhat lonely, but I found WCC students and faculty members very helpful and friendly," said Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu stated that Chinese students study more than A- mericans. A college student in China has an average of six classes a day, and usually carries about 24 hours of work. "The Chinese high school graduate has a better background in math and science than his American peer; however, in the United States students seem to have a better background in languages," explained Mr. Fu. Questioned on his beliefs a- bout people, the English teacher said: "Basically, people all over the world are the same. They want peace and not war." Mr. Fu agreed with Mr. Hu that there is a vast difference in the American and Chinese family. "In the Chinese society, the children always have an obligation to their parents, and the family is more closely united. Concerning students who combine work with study, Mr. Fu had an interesting comment: "I feel that a family who Is financially secure should not make their children work after school or during the summer merely because the children need experience and independence." When asked about American food Mr. Fu remarked that be One of the many markers in the Baptist cemetery. Some are small and plain like this one; others are large and bear such inscriptions as—"Gone, but not forgotten." Work and moderate exercise are good for everyone, includ ing people with heart disease, but physical capacity depends on many things—age, body build, experience, weather, and state of mind, the North Carolina Heart Association advises. enjoyed a good strip sirloin but cooked Chinese food very often. Stephen Nai-kai is in the business department and teaches business statistics and economics. He did his undergraduate work at National Taiwan University. Coming the United States in 1958, Mr. Hu received his master's degree from the University of Tennessee and is completing requirements for his Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of North Carolina. Commenting on the college Mr. Hu said: "I like it here very much. The people are very nice and friendly. As you know, English is not my language, but the students are very understanding and helpful." Although in China the high school drop-out problem is not as serious as it is here, an A- merican high school graduate has more advantages than a Chinese graduate. There, only the top 15% of all high school graduates are admitted to college, and generally speaking, the Chinese are more serious about their work. And, since only the top students attend college they usually do not flunk out. One main difference between America and China Is that of the family relationship. The youth of this country," explained Mr. Hu, "Is more Independent and self- reliant. In China the family Is too over-protective." When asked about our form of government, Mr. Hu said: "The American government and the two-party system are the best in the world."
