  • The^stern Cardinian THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1977 Vol. XLI1, No. 59 ( I UOWtll I , \ ( . WCU hosts Upward Bound summer program In case votive been wondering about the younger members of wc'U's student population, the -431 children, thev arc part of two summer programs, each with a somewhat different goal. This report deals with the smallest of the two programs. Upward Bound. Upward Bound was born in June of 1965, under President Lyndon Johnson's administration, as the "war on talent waste." It is designed to offer youngsters from economically deprived families a chance to attend college before graduating from the secondary school systems. By giving these students the experience of college, il is felt they will be more receptive to the ideas and responsibilities of college life. Ibis seems to give these Students a better possibility of not only; eventually going to a college or university, but also' that their performance there will be more superior than if they had nol been involved with the Upward Bound program. Ms. Arlenc Stewart is' the coordinator of Upward Bound and has been involved with the program since October. D>76. Western Carolina has only offered this program since 1971. "Upward Bound is designed." said'Ms. Stewart, "to give the kids a taste of what college could be like." The purpose of the program ip to generate the skills and motivation necessary for successful education beyond secondary school, as stated in the Upward Bound pamplet issued by the Federal Office of Economic Opportunity. Stewart stressed the students are just "normal" students, screened to determine intelligence and ability to do post-secondary school work. WCU is Hosting a contingent of forty Upward Bound students this year, Stewart said. Out of these forty, six arc what are known as "bridge" students, that is students having completed high school. The rest arc regular high school students. Although Upward Bound culminates each summer in a six-week session in college, it is by no means strictly a summer affair. Six nearby communities — Sylva. Swain. Cherokee, Nantahala. Andrews, and Robinsville — are currently involved in the Upward Bound program that One of the new things at WCU to greet students thia fall is the new ambulance, a 1977 van modified to state specifications. The new vehicle Is being equipped and tested by members of the WCU Student Emergency Care Team and should be ready for service by July 1. The Ambulance, when fully outfitted, will include everything from light rescue equipment—ropes and special stretchers— to band-aids. It also contains special equipment like a hydrolic extraction tool used in auto wrecks. It will be in radio contact with hospital emergency rooms, local law enforcement agencies, and the WCU infirmary. SECT members shown are Hop. left to right] Mark Plummer; Rhonda Summers, chief; Sabra Simpson; Toby Brown; and |bottom| Sandy Parkinson; 'mike Fields; Frank McFall; Robert Orr. Photo by David Lees resides with WCU each year. Each of the high schools in these communities is visited by U.B. counselors al leasl once a week during the winter. This past winter, some sixty students were participating in the program. However, many of these could not attend the final summer session for various reasons. Upward Bound students' mornings are filled with academic studies, including basics like math, science, English, etc. Their afternoons are comprised of tennis lessons, arts and crafts, photography, swimming, music. bowling, and the like. Seminars have been prepared on the average of three per week to be presented in the evenings. The list of topics of the seminars ranges from mental health, family relations, and sex stereotypes, to drug abuse, money management, and even suicide. One entire week has been set aside for students to enjoy an education vacation at Deer Lake Lodge. All the Upward Bound students are located on the second floor of Scott residence hall and have tutor counselors assigned to them. These counselors have the responsibility to sec the students arc occupied with studies, and entertainment, and also that they have 'ilk to, if necessary. Spidermen at WCU? If you like spiders, then Cullowhee is the best place to be this weekend. Or if you don't like them, that's the time to learn they're really not all that bad. On Thursday, the WCU campus will temporarily become the spider capital of the Eastern United States. Arachnologists (that's a fancy term for spider specialists) from all over the U.S. and a few foreign countries will gather for the Eastern meeting of the American Arachnoiogy Society. Dr. John D. McCrone, a spider expert and dean of the WCU School of Arts and Sciences, engineered the meeting during which WCU will be host for more than 50 arachnologists coming from as far away as Germany on one side of the Atlantic and Texas on the other side. The four-day gathering, which is open to the public. begins Thursday with registration. The presentation of scholarly papers is scheduled for Friday and Saturday- morning. Activity will center around WCU's new Natural Science Laboratory building. Saturday afternoon two workshops will be conducted. Dr. McCrone. an expert on black widow spiders, said a workshop on the behavior and ecology of spiders from 3:30 to 6 p.m. will be of interest to the general public. Included in the program arc movies of spider behavior and photographs of web construction. Guided and unguided field trips are also scheduled.
