JANUARY 18,1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/ PAGE 13 Contest modeled after WCU contest x + 4x-2y z 1st annual math contest In the spring, high school mathematics students in North Carolina will have the chance to compete in the First Annual State High School Mathematics Contest. This state wide contest is sponsored by the North Carolina Council of teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM). the Mathematics Division of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (SDP1) and nine community colleges and universities in the eight state educational districts. The purpose of this contest is to stimulate interest in mathematics by encouraging more students to include mathematics in their programs of study and thereby increase mathematics competency in North Carolina and to honor outstanding mathematics students in North Carolina's junior and senior high schools. In commenting on the contest. Dr. Robert R. Jones, Director of the Division of Mathematics of the State Department of Public Instruction, stated, "The mathematics division of the State Department of Education enthusiastically endorses the idea of the State Mathematics Contest for several reasons. "Such a contest in which outstanding young math students from high schools across North Carolina compete will focus attention on excellence in mathematics. In recent months when one speaks of mathematics, it is generally in terms ol competent testing and remediation and poor pupil performance in mathematics at all levels. But there are large numbers of highly competent young mathematicians in our state whose talents can he spotlighted through an activity such as a State Mathematics Contest where students compete first in the various regions of the State and then come to a central location for Slate competition. Dr. Al Myrick, President of NCCTM, added. "This contest will also offer a marvelous opportunity for talented students to meet in competition and fellowship. While spotlighting superior students, the contest will help to increase respect for academic excellence." The state contest consists of two levels of competition: the regional level and the interregional level. The regional contests will be held in the spring at East Carolina University. Greenville; Wayne Commun- nity College, Goldsboro; Atlantic Christian College, Wilson; Campbell College, Buies Creek; Elon College, Elon College; Pheiffer College, Misenheimer; Wingate College, Wingate; Appalachian State University, Boone; and WCU. According to Mr. Ralph Willis, Chairman of the WCU Contest, East Carolina and Wingate feature SOME OF THE SMARTEST YOUNG EXECUTIVES DON'T WORK FOR BUSINESS. They get responsibility faster in the Navy. An ensign less than a year out of college may run a division of thirty men, a lieutenant (j.g.) a department of fifty or more. By the time he makes full lieutenant - age 24 or 25 - an officer can have more managerial experience than most civilians do at thirty. The Navy has officer programs in Aviation and Nuclear Propulsion, Supply, Law, Medicine and many others. If you'd like to know more about them, speak to your local recruiter or send your resume to: Lt. Steve Burnette will be at the University Center, second floor, on January 29-31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stop by and talk with him or call officer programs at 1-800-662-7568. NAVY OFFICER. IT'S NOT JUST A JOB, IT'S AN ADVENTURE. contests modeled after the WCU contest, that is, Contestant! compete in one of four subject divisions: Algebra I, Algebra 11. Geometry and Comprehensive with school competition divided into Junior and Senior High Divisions, the remaining six of the regional test siles feature a single comprehensive test primarily fori high school juniors and seniors. Mr. Willis went on to stress that he hoped the public in general and the high school teachers in particular would keep in mind that the State High School Mathematics Contest consists of two phases: testing a large number of contestants at the regional sites and then, ai least lor the first year, testing at the state level those comprehensive winners of the regional siu-s. Willis also added that he hoped the state level of testing would come to include the other three subject areas in subsequent years. For the 1978-79 state level of testing, thfe top five percent of the scorers, not to exceed 10 students, from each regional comprehensive competition will be eligible to compete in the inter-regional contest to be held in the spring following the regional contests. At each level of the contest, appropriate awards are presented. At most of the regional sites, all competitors receive certificates of participation and the top winners of each subject division receive certificates of merit. During the 1978-79 academic year, it is anticipated that some 2,500 to 3,000 students will be involved in the regional competitions with approximately 100 of these students going on to the state level of competition in the Comprehensive Division. Willis hopes that more of the regional sites and perhaps some regional sites that will be added to the present nine, will come to feature testing in all four subject divisions thereby enabling the state level of competition to encompass all four subject divisions. Should this happen, Willis projects that there would then be some 5,000-8,000 students involved in the regional contests with approximately 400-500 of them advancing to stale competition. The WCU regional contest, now in its ninth year, is scheduled for Thursday, April 26. letters announcing the contest have recently been sent to the 78 junior and senior high schools of the nineteen western-most counties. A student interested in entering the contest should speak with the head of his mathematics department or his principal. NTE exam The National Teacher Examination, used by North Carolina and some other states for certificates of teachers, will be given at Western February 17. Information about the test and registration forms mav be obtained from the WCU testing center in Room 233 of Killiam Building, or directly from National Teacher Examinations, Educational Testing Service, Box 911.
