  • See You In The Fal Western Carolinian Volume 49 Issue 4 July 26, 1984 Graduation Just Around The Corner CULLOWHEE — More than 320 students are candidates for degrees at Western Carolina University's summer commencement exercises scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, August 3, in WCU's Reid Health and Physical Education Building. C. C. Hope Jr., secretary of the N. C. Department of Commerce, will be the commencement speaker. A resident of Charlotte, Hope was appointed secretary of commerce in June 1983 by Gov. Jim Hunt and as such is responsible for state programs in industrial development, international trade, tourism, state ports, energy, the Industrial Commission and the Employment Security Commission. Hope is a past president of the American Bankers Association and is vice chairman of the Board of Directors of First Union National Bank in Charlotte. He is a graduate of Wake Forest University and Mars Hill College and has completed graduate work at the Harvard Business School and the Stonier School of Banking at Rutgers. At the exercises, some 189 students are expected to receive undergraduate degrees and 135 are candidates for graduate degrees. Rehearsals for the ceremony will begin at 3 p.m. on Friday at Reid. Candidates should assemble at 6:15 p.m. on the lawn of Hinds University Center for the processional, which begins at 6:50p.m. A luncheon for honor graduates and their families will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 3, in Dodson Cafeteria. Immediately following the exercises, a reception will be held on the university center lawn. In the event of rain, the reception will be moved into the university center's Cherokee Room. Dr. Robert E. Stoltz, vice chancellor for academic affairs at Western, will preside, and the Rev. Robert Rigdon will give theinvocation. Student marshals will be Susan M. Bishop, Ronald K. Campbell, Logan Creech, Donna M. Cromer, CheryllS. Evans, Gwendolyn M. Evans, Robert F. Gee, Jill D. Johnson, Carol J. Lovely, Sharron A. Overby, Pamela R. Reece, Karla Rigdon, Somendra J. Thapa, Michele R. Thomas, Althia V. Thompson and Donna E. Weekly. These 25 area teachers are participating in the third annual Mountain Area Writing Project. Designed to improve writing skills, the teachers will pass the knowledge on to their students. Mountain Area Writing Project Is Beneficial For Teachers by Danell Arnold Staff Reporter Since July 9yet another group has joined the campus life of WCU. 25 teachers have come here for the four week Mountain Area Folkmoot Dances Its Way to WCU CULLOWHEE-Folk- moot USA, an international folk festival with headquarters in Waynesville, will visit Western Carolina University Aug. 2 as part of a two- week tour of Western North Carolina. Dancegroep Hupsakee of Holland, the Bursa Sword and Shield group of Turkey, the Guateque Folk Dance Group of Puerto Rico and the Berea College Country Dancers of Kentucky will perform at 8 p.m. Aug. 2 in the recital hall of the WCU Music-English Building. Dance troupes from nine foreign countries and the Berea company constitute Folkmoot, which takes its name from a historic English word describing a general meeting of the people of a town or shire. More than 250 performers from Germany, Holland, Spain, England, Ireland, Turkey, Mexico, India and Puerto Rico will appear during 65 Folkmoot USA appearances throughout Western North Carolina Aug. 1-14. The performers will live dormitory-style at Tuscola High School, traveling by chartered bus to their engagements. The festival is the brainchild of Dr. Clinton Border, a Waynesville physician who for years has taken square dance teams from Haywood County to international folk dance and music festivals in Europe. For 12 years he has been planning to make his Folkmoot USA a reality. The N.C. International Folk Festival Inc., a nonprofit organization with a 33-member board of directors, was established last year to operate Folkmoot, which has a budget approaching $150,000. The 1983 N.C. General Assembly voted $85,000 to the festival effort, and the Haywood County Board of Commissionsers gave $40,000. The remainder of the costs will be met through contributions from nunicipalities, corporations and individuals. Admission fees for some of the performances (others will be free) will go toward finincing next year's festival, which organizers hope will be a self- supporting event. The largest of the troupes visiting WCU will be Dancegroep Hupsakee, a 29-member company formed in 1975 to preserve Dutch folklore. Ifi Hupsakee's repertoire are traditional folk dances and original choreographs set to old Dutch tunes that are representative of the different regions of Holland, from fishing villages to farming communities. An unusual and energetic routine will be offered up by the Bursa Sword and Shield group of Bursa, Turkey, an all-male troupe whose flashing swords and shields, and ferocious leaps and lunges depict the Turkish warrior in battle. A number of the 19 dancers bear scars from accidental encounters with errant blades. The Guateque Folk Dance Group combines the Spanish. African and Indian influences that make up Puerto Rican culture. The name Guateque means "bomba," and ancient African dance, but the 17- member company also does the "jibaro," a dance with roots in the Spanish province of Andalusia. The 19-member Berea College Country Dancers— the resident company of Folkmoot USA--will provide a Southern Appalachian flavor with mountain square dancing, weave dancing, rapper dancing, Kentucky set running and buck dancing, otherwise known as clogging. Tickets to the WCU performance--which is sponsored by the Jackson County Arts Council—are $4 for adults and $2 for children. Advance ticket reservations are available by calling the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce at 586-2155, the WCU music department at 227-7242 or the Arts Council at 293- 3407. A ticket sales booth will be open July 28 from 10 a.m. until noon at Sylva Plaza and 12:30 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. at Jackson Plaza. Writing Project. The elementary and secondary teachers come from area schpols such as McDowell High, West Henderson, Freedom High, Sylva-Webster, Murphy Elementary, Brevard Elementary, Hot Springs Elementary, and Robbins- ville High. Teachers from 10 counties have come here to develop their own writing and learn new ways to use writing at all levels of classroom work in the fields of art, math, physical education, and language arts/English. However, a teacher from any field, for example social sciences, who is concerned with students writing papers, essays, and test answers may participate in the institute. There are eight sites in North Carolina which are funded for this type of intensive summer institute and in-service workshops. Over 100 colleges and universities across the country are participating in worthwile projects similar to the Mountain Area Writing Project. Participants will share successful approaches to the teaching of writing, develop their own writing in a variety of modes, and read recent publications on the teaching of compostion. Six hours of graduate credit from WCU will be awarded for successful completion of the Institute. The teachers work in groups to prepare and give presentations concerning subjects including music and writing, bookmaking, beginning paragraph writing, research writing, and journal writing. Dr. James R. Nicholl, Head of the English Department, said. "The Teachers now are more sophisticated than when the project started three years ago." Because of their more recent activities and experiences in the classroom, they have "more credibility" than the university teachers. The teachers get together and go over their writing with one another. This puts them more in a student's position and seems to help them be more empathic with their students. "They learn from everyone," Nicholl added. "The best teacher of teachers is another teacher." The dance group Hupsakee of Holland will be among the featured performers at the Folkmoot Festival. They will be here at Western August 2 in the recital hall of the Music-Englis Building. Showtime is 8 p.m. Photo By Danny Batten Members of Western's ROTC attended Advance Camp at Fort Bragg this summer & brought home the trophies. The small one Is for Region Commander Rifle Marksmanship Award. WCU cadets out shot all other participating students. The larger trophy is for being "the most outstanding school in North Carolina while attending ROTC Advance Camp."
