  • Western Carolinian VOLUME FIFTY NUMBER FOUR Serving Western Carolina University Since 1935 SEPTEMBERS, 1985 227-7267 FREE COLLEGES^ ON TAP^ WHAT'S IN A NAME? Officials at Mary Washington College found that having a female name is a problem in the competition to attract students. Interviews with potential students showed that the school, coed since 1970, is perceived as a private school for women. One survey found that 57% of the students, 67% of the alumni, and 78% of the faculty favor changing the school's name. SATAN LIVES This is one of the spray-painted graffiti messages left by punk-rock devotees at the U. of Arizona. One such fan, a UA student, told the student newspaper that the often obscene messages were an expression of outrage against the government, society and television because they are "constantly telling everybody how to live and how to 3Ct " AN UNUSUAL RETENTION STRATEGY There is one being used at Pace U. where all new nonmatriculated students receive a phone call to help them resolve problems and encourage them to continue their education. Professional counselors or educators are hired part-time to make the calls. PEPSI BRINGS YOUR ANCESTORS BACK FROM THE GRAVE That's how "Come Alive With Pepsi" slogan translated when Pepsi first introduced its product to Taiwan. A Dartmouth College professor says U.S. businesses have lost incalculable billions of dollars because ofthe inabilitytospeakanythingotherthan English. To correct the problem, more than 100 top national and. international executives are moving, into dorm rooms at Dartmouth this summer for intensive training in French or Spanish. LSD IS OUT BUT MUSHROOMS ARE IN Researchers at U. of California--Los Angeles and California State U.--Northridge say that there is growing college student use of "magic" mushrooms, which are natural hallucinogenics with effects similar to, but milder than, LSD. Their survey found that nearly 15% of college students have tried the : mushrooms. SILLY AND PERNICIOUS This is how one U. of Iowa professor described the plan of a conservative group, Accuracy in Academia, to officially audit classes nationwide to expose what it claims are more than 10,000 Marxist faculty members. The group claims students are incapable of handling the "misinformation and disinformation" conveyed by the "liberal" faculty. Critics of the group say it is attempting to inhibit the free discussion of ideas. DUKE U. IS GOING TO THE MOVIES. Actually, movie makers are going to Duke to shoot "When the Trumpet Sounds." The film is the story of the U. of Kentucky 1958 NCAA champion basketball team. The team dedicated its season to ' its coach's wife, a nurse who treated black patients when southern hospitals would not. Duke students 'are expected to be many of thousands of extras used in the film. SEX VIOLENCE AND MONEY These are the dream subjects that separate American college students from their Chinese counterparts. Americans dream about them, Chinese don't, according to a study by a North Carolina psychologist. Students on both sides of the Pacific, however, dreamed about loved ones, flying, falling, arriving late for an appointment and being unprepared for an exam. LYING ON FINANCIAL AID FORMS This may earn two former Alabama State U. students time in prison. The two pleaded guilty to falsifying financial aid information while students at ASU and face possible snetences of 5 to 10 years in prison and fines of $ 10,000 to $20,000. The charges stemmed from an ongoing investigation the U.S. Department of Education is conducting in the Southeast. ANTI-APARTHEID SENTIMENT Anti-Apartheid sentiment received the support of the presidents of 20 private colleges and universities. The presidents wrote to leaders of both the Senate and the House of Representatives urging Congress to impose sanctions "strong enough to demonstrate the depth and sincerity of this country's disapproval of apartheid." FUNDAMENTALIST STUDENT SPIES "Religious KGB" is spying on campus activities in an attempt to discredit Baylor University. The president of Baylor has charged thatfundamentalist students "have made it their business to maintain surveillance over the campus activities in and out of our classrooms and to faithfully report to (conservative Southern Baptist Convention leaders)." The Baylor president is a leader in the effort to unseat the SBC president during the SBC national convention this summer. REAGAN'S RECENT CONDEMNATION OF CUBA Reagan's comments threaten a proposed' academic exchange program between the U. of Pittsburgh and the U. of Havana. Pitt President Wesley Posvar says if diplomatic relations are further strained representatives from both schools may be unable to secure visas. THE FOOD GETS INSTANT FEEDBACK At the University of Rochester students write their dining reviews on napkins and post'them on boards in the campus diningcenters. The director of dining services reprints, and responds to, the napkin comments in a weekly newsletter Ample Rations. He says the two-way communication has improved dining services. M. E. T. ACCREDITED • Congratulations are in order to Western Carolina University's Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program. On Friday, August 16, 1985, WCU's Chancellor Myron L. Coulter, announced that this program was given national accreditation bythe Technology Accrediatation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (A.B.E.T.), based in New York. Coulter was quoted as saying that this achievement was a "significant milestone in the development of our school of Technology and Applied Science." In February, 1982, the University of North Carolina System gave WCU the "go ahead" to establish the degree program in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. Within this 16-campus system, Western Carolina University became the first university to offer an independent four-year Engineering Technology Program. According to A.B.E.T., Engineering Technology involves the application of known engineering principles, whereas Engineering emphasizes research, development, and the conceptual design of new theories. In reference to the accreditation, J. Dale Pounds, Dean of the WCU School of Technology and Applied Science, stated that accreditation was first received on the program's first try. In order to seek accreditation, a program must first have graduates in the field. Pounds said the first graduates were employed by such companies as Black and Decker, IBM, Milliken, Singer-Kearfort, and TRW with an average starting salary of $19,150. Among these graduates, first job-titles included .Manufacturing Engineer, Quality Control Manager, Production Engineer, Production Design Associate, and Associate Design Engineer. By the spring semester of 1984, there were 32 graduates of the program. Students considering Engineering Technology should have a strong background in mathematics and should be interested in applying problem solving, mathematics and science. In the program, students not only learn theories and concepts but also learn how to apply these in manufacturing. The program teaches application to manufacturing such as welding, drafting, computer aided design and drafting (CADD) and wood working. The technology student learns technical knowledge to produce products and services in a specialized manner. Dr. Jerry Cook, associate professor in the department said there are "approximately 20 accredited programs in Engineering Technology in the U.S." and that he hopes that this National recognition "will help attract more students of the same high quality as we've had so far." By John Gorn Staff Reporter • • Photo by Eric Barker By Sandy Davis Staff Reporter RAMSEY REGIONAL ACTIVITIES CENTER TO CHANGE FACE OF REGION First, because of its unique design, the main arena will accomodate as many as 8,500 people to as few as 500. This will be possible through a network of moveable curtains. The main arena will host major-type events such as Graduation, concerts and Southern Conference Basketball games. More intimate settings such as lecture or conference rooms, a theater, and an auditorium concert hall will all be created through the use of the moveable curtains. Special areas around the outside of the main arena will also be available for student use. There will be meeting and dressing rooms for the various athletic departments, a rifle range, a special communication center for TV/film production, an auxilary gymnasium, and five indoor raquetball courts. Probably the most appealing of all will bethe outdoor ice skating rink. This will remain open from late November through February or March. Not only will the Center effect student activity, it will also have a great impact on the community itself. Because it will be such a diverse, multi-purpose facility, the presentation of major events is expected to expand the economic development of this entire region. The Ramsey Regional Activities Center is indeed something that all students are looking forward to. Whether the event is educational or entertaining, it should prove to be the "in" place to be in Cullowhee. As most members of the campus community are aware, the $16 million Ramsey Regional Activities Center is under construction on the Western Carolina University campus. Once the Center is completed it will be the largest and most functional facility in the mountains of western North Carolina. The big questions that everyone is asking are "When will the center be completed and what is taking so long?" To find the answers to tnose questions, and more, this reported talked with the Director of the project, Mr. Robert Stewart. While the Center was due to be completed in November, 1984, the much anticipated opening will be the end of February or the beginning of March. The delays in the project, according to Mr. Stewart, are due to the need for site preparation as well as a delay in the delivery of steel. No definite date or event has been set for the Grand Opening. The Ramsey Regional Activities Center is going to offer opportunities to students at Western that have never been offered before. As a focal point of campus activities, the Center will offer a variety of events for the entire western North Carolina region as well as the entire university community.
