  • Page 6 /THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/JANUARY 31, 1980 Smithsonian interested in WNC museum The Smithsonian Institution has awarded WCU's Mountain Heritage Center, in conjunction with the Appalachian Consortium, a $6,000 grant to fund a small museums conference on the Cullowhee campus this spring. The award was made through the National Museum Act, on of the programs administered by the Smithsonian. The project calls for an "Appalachian Small Museums Conference" to be held on May 30-31 and will try to meet the educational needs of small Southern Appalachian museums that operate with limited financial and staff resources. The conference agenda will be aimed at persons and groups who rarely attend professional museum workshops such as museum volunteers, paid staff persons who function as generalists, and librarians and teachers involved in exhibit development. "We feel, as does the Smithsonian in awarding us this grant, that this conference can fill a real void," said Dr. Clifford R. Lovin, director of the Mountain Heritage Center. "Large museums have national, regional and even state organizations through which they may participate, exchange ideas and learn. But, in our area, many museums, displays and exhibits are one-person operations, sometimes not even full time," Lovin said. "Many of those people here in the Southern Appalachians need technical assistance or advice, but simply don't have the funds or budgets to attend the larger, further-away conferences," Lovin explained. "We are going to try to provide workshops and speakers, close-by and without charge other than a $3 registration fee." Lovin said the two-day conference at Western is being organized so that participants who must stay overnight to attend may stay in WCU residence halls and eat in the university cafeterias. The tentative agenda calls for registration from 1 until 5 p.m. on May 30 with participants encouraged to set up display booths relating to their own exhibits. Professional museum organizations also will be invited to have exhibits in this "small museums fair." •outreach role of small museums. Dinner and entertainment will be provided from 5 until 7 p.m. and the small museums fair will reopen afterward for informal discussion and sharing sessions. □ □□□□□□ODnnnoaanDDDDoaaonDcioao □ D D CI Winning Ticket Numbers D Johanna Lewis will serve as the conference administrator for WCU. Persons interested in attending should contact the WCU Mountain Heritage Center, Cullowhee, N.C. 28723. telephone 227-7129. Following dinner, there will be a keynote speaker to present ideas on "Managing a Small Museum." The session on May 31 will begin with a breakfast speaker from 8 until 9 a.m. to be followed by four workshops dealing with registering museum objects, basic conservation techniques, funding for small museums, and exhibit development. The workshops will be repeated from 2 until 5 p.m. after a luncheon address dealing with the educational N.C. leader in nationwide Indochinese resettlement North Carolina is among the leaders in a nationwide effort to resettle Indochinese refugees, and a Western Carolina University staff member is one of the leaders in that effort. Roy Douthitt, director of the WCU Cherokee Center, has been named to a steering committee for a technical assistance and training demonstration project sponsored by the Independent Foundation, a private organization of former Peace Corps members. The committee will oversee the compilation of a "skills bank," a computer-printed list of volunteers, their skills, language proficiency, and preferred areas of help. The list will be generated by returns from a questionnaire mailed to former volunteers from the Peace Corps, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), International Voluntary Services (IVS), Co-^ operative for American Relief to Everywhere (CARE)," Volunteers in Technical Assistance (VITA), and the Mennonite Church. Copies of the skills list will be made available to locally run organizations charged with the resettlement of Indochinese refugees. The North Carolina program is one of five in the nation. Similar skills banks are being prepared in Los Angeles, Denver, Nebraska, and New Jersey. The six-month project is Los Angeles, Denver, Nebraska, and New Jersey.

Douthitt said the U.S. is now accepting 14,000 Indochinese refugees each month, and the Independent Foundation project would help communities cope with the problems of resettlement. He said help is needed in identifying sponsoring organizations for the refugees, providing financial counseling, developing job opportunities, locating furniture and clothing, finding homes, tutoring and developing cross-cultural curriculums for schools. "When school opens next August, there will be more than 2,200 Indochinese pupils in North Carolina, spread across the state,"Douthitt said. "This project will help identify resource persons to assist these newest Americansadjustto their surroundings." Douthitt has directed the WCU Cherokee Center since 1978, and formerly served as logistics coordinator for WCU's Jamaica program. He has been a Peace Corps teacher at a rural elementary school in Libya, and also has taught at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, and at the University of Petroleum and Minerals in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
