  • PAGE 2/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/APRIL26,1979 Carolinian newsbriefs WCU prof awarded A WCU professor has been awarded a $2,500 National Endowment for the Humanities grant to attend a summer seminar on biography at City University of New York. Dr. Anthony Brown, WCU associate professor of English, will attend the seminar's thrice weekly meetings from June 13 until August 13 while continuing research into James Bosweli, the biographer of Samuel Johnson. Brown was selected for the NEH grant on the basis of his current research interest, a study of the contemporary parodies of Boswell's "Life of Johnson" and "Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides." His studies already have taken him to the Huntington Library in California, Yale University Library, the British Museum in London and the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. Brown holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of South Carolina and the Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University. He is the author of "Boswellian Studies: A Bibliography," first published in 1964 by Archon Books and now in its second edition. In 1972, he spent a year in England carrying out research under a grant from the American Council of Learned Societies. He also is helping British lexicographer Eric Partridge prepare a second edition of his "Dictionary of Catch Phrases." Brown joined the WCU faculty in 1964. Nurses accredited The nursing program at WCU has received continuing accreditation for an eight-year period from the national accrediting board of the National League for Nursing. The action followed a two-year self-study by faculty members in the WCU nursing program and a February site visit by representatives of the accrediting agency. Eight years is the longest possible accreditation period. The WCU nursing program has been accredited since 1971. CB's going fast Do you know where your C.B. is? At least 13 separate incidents of stolen Citizen Band radios, car stereos and tape players have been reported this semester to the WCU Office of Traffic and Security. Pritchard Smith, director of Traffic and Security, says the increase in reported incidents has been substantial statewide although Cullowhee is still well below the state average for reported thefts. Traffic and Security urges all students to lock their C.B.'s, radios and tape players in their trunk when the cars are parked in the various lots on campus. They also encourage students to remove any other belongings that might be of value from cars parked in lots over night, especially those cars parked in the freshman parking lots. Naturalists rally The 1979 WCU Naturalists' Rally, to be held Saturday, May 5, will present three nature walks in various areas of western North Carolina. Two wildflower walks, led by Jim Horton and Dan Pittillo and a birding tour led by Mike Tove are included in the program. Horton will lead the less rigorous wildflower tour this year which will cover two or three stops along North Carolina 107 on the way to Glenville and three additional stops along Cullowhee Mountain Road. This tour will leave the parking lot behind Cullowhee Baptist Church at 9a.m. Pittillo will lead a more difficult tour to Standing Indian Mountain. This tour includes stops at Deep Gap, a seven mile hike up Standing Indian Mountain, and down Beech Creek to the Tallulah River headwaters. This two-day hike will include transportion to Clayton, Georgia late Saturday afternoon to join the Georgia Botanical Society for dinner and a slide-lecture. For information concerning the cost of this trip contact Dan Pittillo at 7244. The group will meet in front of Stillwell at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. Tove will lead a bird walk into the Great Smokies and surrounding areas. The tour will begin at 6:30 a.m. in front of Stillwell and end late Saturday afternoon.
