PAGE 2/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/APRIL 13, 1978 Carolinian Newsbriefs Events happening around Cullowhee and WCU Terango speaks State conventions in West Virginia and Ohio have invited a WCU professor to describe an "accountability" reporting procedure developed while he was director of WCU's Speech and Hearing Center. Dr. Larry Terango will address the West Virginia Speech and Hearing Association during its annual convention April 19-22 and the Ohio Speech and Hearing Association at its annual meeting April 28-30. Dr. Terango will discuss the method he devised for delivering a concise monthly report to as many as 45 different agencies on the services delivered by the WCU center in a seven-county rural area. Nominations due Tomorrow is the deadline for submitting nominations for this year's Paul A. Reid Distinguished Service Awards for faculty and administrative staff members. One faculty award and one staff award, each for $1,000, will be given at the May 6 faculty-staff dinner the night before spring commencement. The awards have been established by President Emeritus Paul A. Reid to recognize and reward "service that contributes to the general welfare of WCU and enhances its reputation as a regional institution of higher education." Dr. Reid already is a benefactor of WCU students, having established the Paul A. Reid Scholarships through a gift in excess of $50,000 several years ago. The DSA awards will be based upon criteria adopted by a Selection Committee consisting of three faculty representatives, three trustees, and three members of the administrative staff. Professor Jennie Hunter of the School of Business was elected chairman of the Selection Committee at a committee meeting Monday. All nominations should be submitted to her in writing, and include the nominee's professional rank, position, or title, and a statement describing the nominee's qualifications. Students awarded A WCU student has finished third place in an essay contest sponsored by the Society of Plastics Engineers. Charles N. Davis Jr. of Hendersonville will receive an $800 scholarship at the Society of Plastics Engineers meeting in Asheville April 17 for his 1,000-word essay, "Plastics and the Quality of Your Life Today and Tomorrow." Davis was one of four students who received scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,000. 'High School' shows The WCU Sociology and Anthropology Club will present the film "High School," to be shown in Forsyth Auditorium at 4 p.m. on Monday. The film was directed by Frederick Wiseman, who one film critic has termed, "the most productive, pertinent and humane documentary filmmaker of his generations." Writing of the film in NEWSWEEK, Peter Janssen describes it as showing "the overwhelming dreariness of administrators and teachers who confuse learning with discipline...the most frightening thing about "High School" is that it captures the battlefield so clearly; the film is too true." Admission to the film is free although a small donation to help cover the cost of renting the film is requested. Refreshments will be served after the film. Art exhibited Fifteen art works by ten WCU students have been awarded cash awards or purchase awards in the current WCU Student Art Exhibit, which opened this week and will continue through April 28 in the art gallery of WCU's Carol Grotnes Belk Building. Juror for the show was New York artist Fritz Bultman. The Twentieth Century Club of Sylva presented its Ruth Allison Morris Art Award, totalling $200, to two prints by James McManus of Cullowhee and a photograph by David Lees of Jamestown. Winners of the UC purchase awards were a planter by Joseph Holmes of Cullowhee, a painting by Joseph Suttle of Shelbv. and a print by Terance Painter of Waynesville. The Chancellor's purchase awards went to a tea service by Holmes and a print by Painter. Winners of the Art Students League cash awards were Hugh Franklin of Franklin, James McManus. Charles Lawing of Charlotte, Bruce Walls of Winston- Sal.m, Brian McDowell of Franklin, Mary Waite of Cullowhee, and David Lees. The exhibit includes 77 diffiTi-nt works by 33 WCU students.
