  • Western Carolinian News January 21, 1982/Page 5 Exhibits curator Sam Gray explains computerized slide show. Photo by Doug Cavanah Museum on Campus? by Larry Hardin On the ground floor of the administration building there is a museum that exhibits artistic and historical relics from the Appalachian culture. To most individuals this museum is better known as the Mountain Heritage Center. The museum is part of the Mountain Heritage Center's active involvement in support, collection, and interpretation of the natural and cultural history of this area. Sam Gray, the Exhibits Curator, explained that the museum was an illusion of some other time and space. This is done with graphic art design and the placement of the museum's collections, or the stage setting where collections can be seen in their recreated environment. The museum has four galleries and an auditorium that are open to the public year round. The four galleries are changed about every six months. At this time the four exhibits being displayed are the R.A. Romanes photo collection, the Joyner Building Exhibition, the Daisy McGuire dentistry exhibition and the coverage of the historic architecture of this area. The Romanes collection is a pictorial history of the day to day life of the people in and around Alto, Georgia. The Joyner Building display is an attempt to show what was lost in the fire, an historical site that was on the National Register. Daisy McGuire, dentist and first female graduate of Emory, is the focus of one gallery. Her display has pictures and dental equipment used in days gone by. The photos that show the architectural history of this area, plus the exhibits, take one back to the clay and stick constructions of the Indians before Columbus set sail. The auditorium is equipped with a nine projector, multi-image computerized system for slide presentation. The two programs now being offered are Earth Colors and a presentation on the Cataloochee area. Both shows are images of beauty, in the land and in the people of this land. In explaining some of the Mountain Heritage Center's other functions and activities Mr. Gray spoke about Craft and Music Festivals held in other communities, which are local versions of Mountain Heritage Day here at Western. Mr. Gray went on to say that they also worked with historical societies, research groups, public schools, and a host of visitors that come by every year. Another function of the Mountain Heritage Center was in advising communities on grant writing. Mr. Gray explained they had written more grants for the communities than they had for themselves, and this was a natural event because the university had the knowledge of where to go and how to apply. The Mountain Heritage Center itself was started with grants and is still dependent upon grants, even with the support it receives from the university. Mr. Gray said that without the support the university had given, and is presently giving, the Mountain Heritage Center could not make it. He went on to say that WCU had supported the Center more than most, grant monies go in the area of special projects that are carried on. In the back rooms of the Mountain Heritage Center, where visitors are not allowed, there still exist many items of interest. It is here that collections are sorted, classified and stored. Among these artifacts are such items as the clothing, tools, equipment, old bed steads, yokes, spinning wheels, and the personal effects of Horace Kephart. If one has not been to the Mountain Heritage Center, or it has been a while since the last visit, it might prove to be an interesting and educational place to wander into, it might also be down right enjoyable. Take Sam Gray's advice, and come and visit. New Library Hours by Greg Ryder Hunter Library was closed untiL Wednesday, January 20th to allow for some final work that was necessary to have the building ready for use this term. The library reopened on a limited basis Wednesday that allowed students some, but not full, access to the building. There is still work going on with arranging of the new furniture sections that will not be completed until January 30th. Until that time all of the library's resource facilities will be available but the amount of furniture available for study use will be limited. The staff at the library is asking students to limit the amount of time they must spend in the library to the minimum possible until all the remaining work can be completed. Until the work is completed on January 30th, the library will operate on the following schedule: Weekdays 1:00 - 7:00 p.m. Saturdays 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. Sunday Noon - 4:00 p.m. Normal library hours will resume as of Sunday, January 31st. For those students who are interested in the new facilities that are going to be available this semester the library is offering tours of the building. These tours are being given on weekdays at 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, and 2:30. Those persons interested in these tours should meet at the canopy between Stillwell building and the old library. Need Financial A id? Student Financial Aid: what it involves and how to gel it to help meet college expenses will be the subject of a statewide consumer information effort by the North Carolina Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators during the Week of January 24-30. In proclaiming this week as "Student Financial Aid Awareness Week," Governor James B. Hunt, Jr. recognized that, due to ever increasing educational and living expenses, more and more students are finding it necessary to seek financial assistance in order to further their educations beyond the high school level. The underlying theme in student aid since its inception has been that of assisting students with ability but inadequate resources to attend post-secondary educational institutions. The major thrust in student financial aid programs began in 1958 when Congress created the National Defense Student Loan Program to assure that no student of ability would be denied an opportunity for higher education because of financial need. Since that time, tremendous expansions have occurred in both types and dollar amounts of assistance available to students. The passage of the Middle Income StudentAssistance Act by Congress in 1978 further opened up financial aid programs by making available funds to students who in the past had typically not been eligible for aid—those from middle income families. With the publicity of recent months so negative in its impact, it is believed that some potential students who are eligible for assistance might not explore the possiblities of post-secondary education because they feel they cannot afford a college education. For this reason, the North Carolina Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators has made a commitment to provide to North Carolina students more comprehensive information on financial aid resources available for the 1982-83 academic year. NCASFA President Jim Stanley states that "the purpose of the week is to create an awareness of the financial aid programs that are available to students. Now more than ever it is imperative for students to understand financial aid programs, institutional philosophies on student aid, and eligibility requirements." Now is the time for students to begin the application process. Typical financial aid application procedures include the filing of financial information with a recognized need analysis service (such as the American College Testing Service or the College Scholarship Service). Also, many institutions require that students file a local financial aid application in addition to the need analysis documents.
