  • PAGE 2/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/SEPTEMBER 14, 1978 Carolinian Newsbriefs Latin hasn't been taught at WCU since 1927, when the institution was Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School and the ancient language w as required. You'd think today's students would like it that way, but a student petition last year prompted WCU to this fall reinstitute the studv ot the dead" language. Janet H. Beaudry of Cullowhee, than a senior English major, spearheaded the student effort. Dr. Dennis McKevlin, associate professor of English, teaches Latin 101 at WCU. McKevlin says Latin isn't dead. "Latin can help students better understand how their own language works," McKevlin said, "and it is the root of the modern Romance languages—French. Italian, and Spanish. "1 think the recent interest in the classical languages—Latin and ancient Greek—is a reflection of the current 'back to basics' movement in higher education," McKevlin said. The class is filled with 24 undergraduates, and five faculty members are sitting in on the course. Latin 102 will be offered spring semester. McKevlin said a second-year Latin course may be offered if the student interest continues. Seven other schools in the 16-campus University of North Carolina system offer Latin courses. Three have degree programs in classical languages. Undergrads rewarded Academic grants and graduate research are usually thought of as exclusive partners, but WCU and the NC Academy of Science have been teaming up to let undergraduate students share the spotlight. Figures released by the academy indicate that undergraduates at WCU have received more grants from NCAS than at any other school in the state except the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Undergraduates at Western have been awarded 23 research grants by the academy since 1967, when the John Yarbrough Research Grant Fund was created, according to the figures. Grants awarded to UNC-Chapel Hill undergraduates by NCAS have totaled 24 in II years, the figures say, while East Carolina University and UNC-Greensboro have had 18 grants each. Dr. John J. Manock, director of research administration at WCU, said "the interest of Western's faculty in undergraduate as well as graduate research projects plays a major role in our success with NCAS grants." The grants, usually limited to approximately $200, help pay for equipment and materials needed for scientific research projects that can't be provided by schools. "We encourage applications for the NCAS grants because with them undergraduates learn how to write grant proposals and report and their projects at academy meetings, things they will need to know as graduate students," Manock said. The academy is an organization of scientists and individuals interested in science from industry, government and schools that promotes • -ientific knowledge and information about science. Symphony plays The Charlotte Symphony, featuring internationally acclaimed pianist Malcolm Frager, will present a concert in Hoey Auditorium Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. Under the direction of Leo Driehuys, the orchestra will perform William Schuman's "Prayer in the Time of War" and Mendelssohn's "Italian" Symphony. Frager, who will perform Beethoven's Emperor Concerto, has hailed by The New York Times as a "master".
