  • June 7,1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/Page 5 24 contestants from NC contest receive scholarships Math contest prompts scholarships By JIM ROWELL WCU News Bureau Reports of a high school student being besieged with scholarship offers usually go hand-in-hand with an all-state quarterback, a towering basketball star, or a pitcher that has been on somebody's recruiting list since little league. But, how about the state's top math students? Who are they? And, if anybody could identify them, would recruiters line up at their doors with offers? You betcha. North Carolina has had it's first State Mathematics Contest and proved it. Some 24 N.C. colleges and universities lined up to offer full one-year scholarships, renewable upon performance, to the top five finishers in the contest. The list ranged from Duke University to Sacred Heart College. "Considering the scores, I think offering scholarships to just the top five finishers may have been an error." said Ralph Willis, assistant professor of mathematics at Western Carolina University and a veteran math contest organizer. "I think most schools* would have been willing to make the same offer to any of the top twenty finishers." Sixty-eight students entered the state contest at Research Triangle Park, sponsored by the N.C. Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Division of Mathematics of the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. All had qualified at one of nine regional sites. Although it was the first year for the state contest, this year was the ninth year for Western Carolina's math contest, one of the state's oldest. Willis began WCU's contest to give some of the area's top math students an opportunity to receive some well-deserved- but-often-unspoken credit and to try to attract some of the top students into Western's math program. This year more than 600 students competed at WCU alone, representing 49 Western North Carolina schools. At the state contest, two from the WCUcontest, John E. Cox and John B. Kahl, both of Brevard High School, finished fourth and fifth respectively. Another WCU student, Chitsany Puncharoen of East Henderson High School, was eighth and Benny D. Freeman of Hendersonville High finished in the top 20 with an honorable mention. Finishers in the top five were awarded certificates of merit, plaques and the scholarships. Those finishing in the sixth through the 10th places were awarded certificates of merit and finishers 11 through 20 were named honorable mention. The awards were presented by Gov. James B. Hunt and Bob Jones of the Department of Public Instruction. Eight students represented WNC from the Western Carolina contest and only one other regional had two entries place in the top five: East Carolina University's contest produced the first and third place finishers. The first of the child developemnt seminars entitled "Seminar I: Early Influences On Child Development" began Monday, June 4. It deals with the pre-natal and infancy years. Class will meet from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. through June 8. The second one-week seminar on' childhood is entitled "Seminar II: Between Parent and Child" and dealt with effective parenting for healthy children. Classes in the second seminar begin June 11 and meet from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. through June 15. A single registration enrolls students for both segments and carries three hours credit, or the seminars may be taken individually for continuing education credit. From June 18 through 29, WCU will offer two more one-week seminars dealing with the different aspects of adult development. Course titles for these seminars an-"Adult Life Crises and How to Survive Them" and "Death as a Final Stage of Growth." Water pollution can be converted It doesn't take an expert to recognize water pollution, the mere sight and smell are often telltale enough. Fortunately, according to a brochure available from WCU's Center for Improving Mountain Living (CIML), it doesn't take an expert to help correct water pollution either. The publication is entitled "Back to Basics" and is offered free to the public through a Community Service and Continuing Education Grant from the University of North Carolina under Title I of the Higher Education Act. It is designed to provide the average person with an insight into water ecology, including the ways a stream or lake can become unbalanced or polluted. Protection and improvement of North Carolina's rivers, streams, and water supplies requires making knowledgeable decisions now, according to the brochure. "Since many people are dependent on our streams for pure drinking water, supplies as well as for carriage of wastes, serious consideration must be given to the need for future protection of water courses," says the publication. "Future plans which indicate present water quality, pollution sources, and how to clean up and protect lakes, rivers, and streams are needed. These plans can't be developed without the help of the individual". For copies of the brochure, contact Susan Smith, Center for Improving Mountain Living, WCU, Cullowhee, N.C. 28723. The telephone number of the center is 227-7492. 'Jeb Stuart's Country Fast Foods' Owner Allen Stuart says that 'you can still call us The Truckstop' By Taylor Sisk Staff Writer In the May 3 edition of Raleigh's The News and Observer an article appeared which began: "Consider the plight of the poor flatlander who comes to these rough, wild Great Smokey Mountains and wants to stay. He has no family to bum off of. Jobs are scarce." What to do? Well, the flatlanders in question were two locally converted mountaineers, Allen Stuart and David Posey, and the subject of the feature was their then thriving, joint business venture "The Cullowhee Truckstop". The statewide attention was apparently of little benefit; for, since the time the article appeared, the restaurant has fallen on hard times and Posey has forsaken the "wooded peaks" of the mountains and returned to his home of Greensboro. Perhaps down for a time, but not out, the ever determined Allen Stuart has now reopened the newly remodeled business and as sole owner and proprietor has given it the auspicious title "Jeb Stuart's Country Fast Foods". But even though, as The News and Observer pointed out, few 18-wheelers find their way to good old Cullowhee, USA; Allen won't mind if you still refer to his humble place of business simply as the truckstop. The bold blue letters indicating as much will remain on the front of the building. After all, it's the only one he's got. ' The pseudonym "Jeb" Stuart is one which Allen picked up during his three-year stint as an Army officer in the artillery. Despite the fact that he was a draftee (as he is quick to point out), Allen proved to be able and zealous leader and thus the reference to the famous i Confederate cavalry general. The Army has been only one of a number of endeavors which Allen has sampled in his 32 years (among them: a nightclub manager, funeral director, booking agent for eastcoast bands, and owner of a penny arcade), but it is the restaurant business which is his first love. Although a native of Jacksonville, N.C, he spent the majority of his youth in Louisianna and Mississippi (thus his locally famous "Mississippi-fried- taters") and it was at this time that he first learned to cook. "When I was five," Allen explains, "my grandmother broke both of her legs and I was forced to do the cooking. She would sit on the couch and yell into the kitchen, telling me all the ingredients to put in." As a single visit to the truckstop will demonstrate, Allen did not miss his calling. "Mississippi-fried- taters" are still the house speciality, but the Cowboy omelette', biscuits and gravy, and cheese-steak sandwich are close behind. There is also a variety of fresh vegetables available daily and the truckstop is able to offer a number of choices on the menu to it's vegetarian patrons. Problems in the past stemmed from an excess of expenses, and the old adage, "Too many cooks spoil the broth", also seemed to come into play. Overhead and personnel have been cut, with emphasis being placed on turning out quality food at a faster pace. The back windows have been raised for the summer so that one may now enjoy one's meal while taking advantage of the breeze and listening to the mighty Tuckasegee make its way throughout the Smokies. But don't fret; prices are still reasonable, the atmosphere is on the house. One thing Allen Stuart has learned in the past year, is that the simple life he sought in coming to the mountains of Western Carolina is always slightly out of reach, but can perhaps nowhere be more closely attained than in this area. Therefore he is anxious to stay and to make his business a successful one. For the time being he will only be open from 7:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m., serving breakfast anytime; but by the time fall rolls around he hopes to be staying open through the evening. On the distant horizon is the project of opening up a chain of several "Jeb Stuart's Country Fast Foods". Who knows, maybe someday the new item on McDonalds menu will be "Mississippi-fried-taters". 9 u c I a u o o -E a. Allen Stuart
