  • Western Carolinian October 8, 1981 Voice of the Students Vol. XLVI No. 7 1981 Homecoming Theme: Cat Pride Western Carolina University's 1981 homecoming celebration, featuring a lively schedule that includes a concert by Poco and the Little River Band, will begin next Thursday, Oct. 15, and culminate with the colorful homecoming day activities Saturday, Oct. 17. The theme for homecoming this year at Western "Cat Pride: Fine Since '89," referring to the founding of the institution in 1889. The theme was chosen from entries in a contest and a $50 prize from the WCU Alumni Association will be presented at halftime of the homecoming football game between WCU and East Tennessee State to co-winners Bari Culbreth of Greensboro and the WCU Cheerleaders. Western students will be away from campus Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 12 and 13, for fall break. The week's homecoming activities begin Thursday with the election of the 1981 homecoming queen from a court to be determined by earlier balloting. Announcement of the queen will be made at halftime of the football game. On Thursday evening, the Catamount basketball team will debut with a scrimmage at 7 p.m. in Reid Gymnasium that tips off WCU's pre-season basketball practice. That scrimmage will be followed by the annual "Cats Prowl" pep rally at about 8 p.m. in Reid Gym. The "Cats Prowl" features skits and entertainment and. will conclude with a bonfire behind the gym. The major concert by Poco and the Little Ri<er Band will be Friday evening at 8 p.m. in Reid Gym. Sponsored by Last Minute Productions, the tickets will be $6 for WCU students with an ID and $9 for others. Tickets may be obtained at the WCU cafeterias between the hours of 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. or at Hinds University Center between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pre-game activities begin in Whitmire Stadium at 1:30 p.m. and the kickoff between the Catamounts and Buccaneers is set for 2 p.m. Among the numerous halftime activities, the winners of the 1981 Distinguished Alumnus Award and the Distinguished Service Award will be announced. On the WCU campus, the Residence Hall Coordinating Council will sponsor a dance at 8 p.m. in the Grandroom of the UC featuring Charlotte's band "Magic." Admission for the Saturday dance will be $1 in advance or $1.25 at the door. The Cats fumbled and bumbled their way to a 23-10 loss at the hands of Middle Tennesse State. Curriculum Change "Exciting' On Wednesday, Oct. 14, Dr. Gerald Belcher, professor of History at Beaver College in Glenside, Pennsylvania, will speak on the methods and rewards of improving English composition skills. Dr. Belcher holds a Phd in English History from UNC-CH with minors in Russian and American Colonial History. He's had thirteen years teaching experience and has held numerous positions at Washington College and Beaver College, including membership on the Admissions Committee, Chairman of the Honors Program, membership on the Faculty Council, Secretary to the Faculty, and Chairman of the Self-Study Committee on Faculty, Instruction, and Curriculum, to name a few. Dr. Belcher has published several books; among those are "Writing in the Arts & Sciences," which he co- wrote with other professors, and "Readings in the Arts& Sciences," which will be published in the spring of 1982. He has also been a recipient of many awards from the University of Michigan, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Kentucky. Other professional activities include: a consultant on the Teaching of Writing Across the curriculum and consultant for the National Humanities Faculty and the London College of Business Studies, not to mention five in-depth papers on the teaching of writing. Dr. Daniel Sossomon, who attended the five-week workshop in the teaching of writing, is looking forward to the change in curriculum and hopes that professors who teach general education requirements will use a positive approach in dealing with the students. Many students complain that they've never written an essay before coming to college; in other words, they are not learning the essential basics of composition in high school, and the reason for this is that teachers simply do not know how to go about teaching these basics because of a lack of instruction. Dr. Sossomon said that some teachers and students object to this new policy while others do not. When asked if it is worth a teacher's time to stray from his own subject to teach English skills, he said clearly that it is worth the teacher's time. "Constructing a sentence is as mechanical as tearing apart an automobile engine...it's a skill, not an art." If a student doesn't learn the skill of writing, then he is "short-changed" in his educational pursuits. Sossomon also points out that people utilize writing skills in every career at some time or another. A writer for 45 years, he says he still makes two and three rough drafts for his papers. These reasons are why Dr. Belcher is coming to Western. He will attempt to aid teachers and students alike toward more effective communication On Monday, Oct. 13, at 3:00, he will conduct a workshop for professors, with lectures and discussions dealing with writing across the curriculum. On Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 8:00 p.m., he will speak to the students in Forsyth Auditorium on the rewards for effective writing in college as well as in business and the professions. There are many colleges across the country who already support this new program on a voluntary basis, such as the Universities of Michigan, Texas, Yale, and Beaver College. Colleges in Great Britian, France, and West Germany are also taking on this new task. "It's exciting," says Dr. Sossomon, "and it poses a major curriculum change which will benefit everyone concerned with education and better prepare a student to meet the demands of everyday writing." by Maria H. Smith Sadat To Be Missed By All Anwar Sadat: 1918-1981 Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was assassinated Tuesday during the 6th of October Military Parade in Cairo. Six other people were found dead and 38 others were injured during the attack in which six Egyptian soldiers jumped from a truck on military parade and charged the reviewing stand where Sadat was sitting. The soldiers, who Egyptian Army sources said were Moslem fundamentalists, fired automatic weapons and threw grenades as they charged the platform. Sadat was immediately rushed to Maadi Military Hospital were he was in a coma. Urgent treatment, including a blood transfusion and heart massage failed as Anwar Sadat died at 8:40 a.m. EDT. The official cause of death was a combination of "violent shock, internal bleeding in the chest cavity with the left lung and major Continued on page 2.
