  • News Western Carolinian/December 10, 1981 Getting in the Spirit (of Christmas) The WCU Basketball Cheerleaders Center in Second Stage Plans for the Regional Activity Center are in the middle of the second stage. According to Ken Woods of Institutional Studies and Planning, there are three phases in planning a building. The first stage is schematic design. A rough or conceptual design that describes what is wanted in the building must be submitted to and approved by the state. The schematic design for the Regional Activity Center was approved by the state in October. The second stage is design development. Plans for the Center are now in the middle of this stage. Mechanical requirements such as heating and air conditioning and the basic engineering plans must be submitted. Deadline for these plans is Jan. 5. 1982. The third stage of planning involves construction drawings. The architect must create drawings with written specifications and actual figures. Contractors use these drawings to get cost estimates. The state requires that prime contractors hire sub-contractors to handle the mechanics, plumbing and electrical plans. Contractors' bjds will be out by July 2, 1982, assuming that the budget works out as planned. At this point. Woods and his staff are very concerned by the proposed budget. by Rhond(| Parker Open House The campus radio station, WWCU, has a new transmission tower which will enable them to put out an estimated 320 watts of power. The new 100 foot tower is located directly behind the station in Moore Building, and will be officially hooked up at the station's open house this Friday. This open house is to allow students, faculty, staff and members of the new community to see the "new look" that has accompanied this year's "new sound"—the sound of FM 90.5. The station was formerly known as U-92. but the name was changed to correspond to the new frequency needed for the stereo power conversion. "We have met a lot of goals this year," said Robert Allen, general manager of WWCU, "especially in the way of station imrovements. Of course, the tower was the big thing. It was a four year dream come true after long battles for money and with the FCC." Allen listed some of the improvements as: the new tower and the power increase, new equipment, new carpets, new furniture and a new paint job. The open house, which will run from 2 to 5 p.m.. Friday, Dec. 11 is for the expressed purpose of letting the public see the new improvements and get to know the radio staff. Allen also said to listen for giveaways on the air Friday. by Laura Hunt In a time when the Christmas spirit becomes meaningful, expression of that spirit can be seen throughout our area, particularly among the various student organizations on and off campus. One of the best examples of this can be found at Western's Baptist Student Union where an active group of some fifty students are busy and excited about one of the most anticipated days of the year. Among such activities as Christmas caroling to area homes, singing performances at area churches, decorating of the BSU Christmas tree and a special Christmas service scheduled for tonight. The BSU is placing heavyemphasis on Advent, a four-week preparatory period in the church year before Christmas. This celebration-preparatorial time began last week for the Baptists. Advent centers on the doctrine of the incarnation of Christ and that God becomes man in Jesus Christ, his son. This is emphasized in the Advent Liturgy. The students have prepared the Advent Wreath and the Christmas Putz also. The Christmas Put? is a decoration and a teaching instrument. The custom of displaying the nativity with the putz is one still highly used among churches and homes and is another important element in the observance of Advent. While observing Advent, the BSU will also host a Moravian Lovefeast on Sunday night, December 13, at 8:00 p.m. This is another highly anticipated occasion at the center, located at the old entrance of the campus, and has become an annual event. Today some of the Moravian people can still be found even here at Western, and one BSU member is of Moravian descent. Moravian Christmas observances, centered around the scriptural accounts of the birth of Christ, have evolved through generations around customs and symbols that are mindful of Christ as the Saviour of the world. "These customs and symbolic gestures are still used in our churches and homes today." said Joe David Fore, campus minister of the BSU. "They are not only a significant part of Christmas, but help to bring the message of Christmas closer to our individual needs and into our daily lives." The lovefeast is a worship service signifying brotherly love while sharing a simple meal of coffee and sweetened bun. It is celebrated in the spirit of the agape meal of the early Christians as they gathered to express their love for Jesus and for one another. To conclude the Moravian celebration a candle service, another Moravian custom, will b? held in accompaniment with the lovefeast Here each participant will be given a lighted candle. The flame of the candle symbolized the sacrifice of Christ lor man and the flame of love which he came to kindle in our hearts I he message of the candle was, and is, that this flame of love will burn forevertohisjoy and our salvation. Again this custom is still very much a part of today's church services. The lovefeast is free to the public, and all are encouraged to come and join the BSU in the celebration of this joyous time.

According to the store manager, the incident occurred at around 1:15 p.m., when a man came into the store and asked to look at a set of china. After examining the items for a while, the man said he would call his wife to discuss the matter with her. He left, then returned, saying that he would have to speak with his wife again shortly, but would wait around the store in the meantime. I his was merely a ruse, the store manager later stated, lor the man to case the premises. The would-be thief then waited for the store to fill with customers and for the employees to become occupied. The man managed to grab a small case of 14-karat gold charms, run out the door, jump into a car with a second man who had been waiting outside, and drive away. The seven employees working at the time had been advised to be alert in the event of such an occurrence, and the police were called immediately; the officers arrived within two minutes. The thief was described as being in his mid-thirties, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, and well dressed; the type of person whom one wouldn't suspect of such a crime. He is believed not to be from the Sylva area. The getaway car was later described by eyewitnesses to the police, who put out an all-points-bulletin on the vehicle. The value of the stolen merchandise was estimated to be about $1,000. by Darrell Beck Our new lunch is Pizza Darn Quick! 11 A.M. to 4 P.M. 7 Days a Week • •Any 6" Pizza $1.29 • •Salad Bar $1.59 • •Any 6" Pizza & Salad Bar $2.79 Lunch offer is also available for carryout Free Delivery Sunday - Thursday Friday Saturday 5:30 - 11:00 6:00 - 12:00 "Coupons not redeemable on deliveries"
