  • Western Carolinian/February 7, 1985 Annual Snowball Fight at Washington U. Leads to Trouble Rebel forces repulsed a Yankee invasion in this year's civil war at Notre Dame. About 500 students "fought" in the North Quad vs. South Quad snowball fight which erupts every year on the night of the first snowfall. The initial attack was checked by a barrage of Southern snowballs and a second attack met heavy resistance in close-quarter snow fighting. The South finally regrouped and forced a Northern retreat. At Washington State U., an annual snowfight between Greeks and dorm residents resulted in four serious eye injuries, one broken collarbone and 29 broken windows. One of the injured was standing inside her dorm room when her window was shattered. WSU officials, who've tried to discourage the annual snowball battle, say they'll bring disorderly conduct charges against students named in any police, student or citizen reports. 0 Starts Fri.

American Society o* Travel Agents Professor Gainey Gets Involved with His Career and Students Menard Gainey photo by Ken Lauber by Kathy Sullivan News/Feature Editor Mr. Richard Gainey, a speech and theatre arts instructor, cannot only be heard every Sunday night on WWCU during his "Oldies Hour" but can also be scene at work in the TV studio and classroom alike. Gainey, who is from Jacksonville, FL, has spent most of his time broadcasting over various radio stations. After graduating from Janes College in Florida he worked in a production station hosting a live program every week on what was happening in the community. "I enjoyed being a small town celebrity," said Gainey. But the small town career didn't last long after Gainey moved to Columbia, S.C. where he then occupied the position of program/ production manager of a Columbia cable TV and hosted a talk show there for VA years. Although his schedule kept him busy in Columbia he managed to receive his masters degree from the University of S.C. where he also got his first teaching experience. He then joined us here at WCU in 1981 in the Radio and TV department. Gainey said he enjoyed his high and technical position but in his opinion the higher you go in the lob ladder the less creative freedom you have. This is his reason for teaching because he can exercise more creativity in his career. "Teaching brought me back in contact with students and 1 haven't regretted it," said Gainey. When asked what his opinion is of WCU Radio and TV department, Gainey replied, "We have a strong department with over 200 majors and with recent changes of improvement the number of jobs for graduating senoirs has increased." When not in a classroom Gainey can be found at WWCU radio station breadcasting "The Oldie Hour" on which he airs 50's, 60's and 70's music. Gainey obtained his oldy music collection from his sister and also from record sales at various record stores. "I am always on the look out for records and if anyone has oldy records I would like to make a copy for my collection," said Gainey. Gainey has also been rewarded with the Regional Adivsor' of the year award for cont. pg. 6 Life in the J ROTC Can be Rewarding * * ♦ * * * Life in Army ROTC can ^r begin as a junior with the help of ^^ the Army's innovative Basic ^r Camp, according to LTC Kenneth * E. Mostella, Professor of Military B^ Science at Western Carolina University. 1^ "Some of our best cadets come to us by way of the Army |t ROTC Camp," LTC Mostella stated. "The pressures of g^ beginning college get the full attention of a great many g^ students," he said, "and they don't get around to making a decision on Army ROTC until they think it's too late." iJiThe Army thought about that.too," LTC Mostella noted. "Since 1964 we've had a way for students who transfer from community colleges to enroll. Some students jut want to look at ROTC and the people in it before committing themselves." "We call it Basic Camp," he said, "and it is a six-week course of training at Fort Knox, KY. It's an introduction to the Army and soldiering. The Army pays for transportation to and from camp, of course, and each student who completes the camp receives around $670 in pay, plus room and board," LTC Mostella explained. "It's no vacation because we ask a lot of students who attend our camp. But, in my experience, they return to campus with an understanding of what the Army is and what it does, and the great majority of them enroll in ROTC when the fall semester opens," Mostella added. Last summer, 20 students from Western Carolina University attended Basic Camp. Top performance at camp and on campus is recognized by an opportunity to apply for a two- year scholarship which pays tuition for the final two years of school as well as many other benefits. Seven students at WCU won scholarships at camp last summer. 'There's one thing I'd like to mention," LTC Mostella added. "There are limitations on the number of students who can attend. We're particularly interested in students majoring in engineering, business, physical sicence, and nursing, and I would like to talk with them as soon as possible," LTC Mostella said. Interested students should contact LTC Mostella, at Stillwell Building or call 227-7438 for an appointment to discuss Basic Camp. Discover Yourself!
