  • The Western Carolinian 15 Thursday, September 11, 1986 I Very Much Enjoy Working With People. // - Starlett Craig by Joan Tucker People Editor Charming, classy, dynamic and attractive are just a few of the words that so aptly describe Mrs. Starlett Craig. After being in her presence (she constantly radiates an aura of confidence) you leave with the determination to reach for the stars. Mrs. Craig is proof that these stars re indeed within reach. W.C: Tell us a little about your background? S.C.: I am a native of Ashville and after graduatiny from high school I attended Spelman College where I received a B.S. degree in sociology. I then went on to Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work in Philadelphia. Followingthisl spentfouryears in Washington working with the Narcotics Administration. I have always wanted to bea social worker because I very much enjoy working with people and I think that from working with people I just ventured into various areas. Ihavevorked with the elderly and with a variety of clients in the social network. I think one of the most <excitingj experiences I had was working with the elderly because I worked with people who had so much energy - they were well into their 80's and 90's and that said to me if these people can be moving at this pace at this age I want to live to the very end. Following that experience I came to work at Western so I met the opposite end of the spectrum - working with younger people and I thought I'll never grow old. WC: What does your work function entail? S.C.: My job title encompasses a lot of different functions. MY job title is Assistant to the Vice Chancellor for Student Development. The functions I perform are that of International Student Advisor and Director of Minority Student Concerns. I also do some work with the fresh men orientation program. It is basically in leadership development and includes selecting the fifteen people that help new students become orientated to WCU. The minority students and international students have some parallels, both are minority groups and in this setting both have the same kinds of a need - a need to relate to various resources and become more integrated into the mainstream of university life and in this position I try to direct them to those resources - help them get involved, take advantage of what is available. When it comes to academic challenge it's finding resources with faculty and students. W.C: What excites you about working with international students? S.C.: I have always nadhis great desire to travel and I wanted to visit countries around the world. Working with international students gives me that opportunity on a daily basis and I get a geography lesson as well as a lesson on cultural exchange. When my students come they are looking for that warm friendly face, somebody that will take the time to listen to them and probably match them with the resources that they need in order to survive in this setting. It's important to me to be that person. Too often our students experience a cultural shock when they come to America for the first time - may be it's not what they anticipated - and suddenly they feel very isolated and alone. I try to reverse that situation and help them through that period of lonliness and frustration. I suppose I have been successful in many situations because there are students who come back and tell me they appreciate what I have done and by the same token they always leave some kind of keep sake. I have started collecting flags, and I have various carvings and trinkets from around the world. W.C: Are there any services you would like to see improved for the international students? S.C.: I feel good that there are a variety of different community and campus support groups who wahr to interface with international students. I would like to see more people take the time to get to know an international student. To get beyond the accent and get to know the real student. I think too often people will listen nd hear the accent and will immediately move on because they don't understand the accent Our students need to take time to get to know the international student and that's in the classroom as well as in residence halls. W.C: Having passed through the sixtiescan you tell us about some of your experiences of that era? S.C: I have lived through an exciting age because I came through the sixties, and that was an era of change in America. It was an era of vast social change. We went from segregated school systems to integrated systems, and I think, being where I am, a part of my responsibility is to share those kinds of experiences with younger students. It gives them a link to their past. Here, I've been through the age of transition and it has had a significant impact on my life. When I talk with young people who had never experienced a segregated setting, their attitude is very different from my own. That makes me feel that, like faculty and other administrators, I have a role to play in the lifes of black students who are coming of age in the '80s. W.C: I understand that you are advisor to Alpha Kappa Alpha and Co-advisor of Black Ebony Students. What does this do for you? S.C.: Working with black students give me a strona feeling of belonging. I feel I belong here - I'm needed nd what I can contribute will be very well received. Black students are important to me because they are so creative. So many black cultural programs that we have are planned and implemented by black students, and when I see that kind of resourcefulness in the students, it gives me a great feeling, it makes me proud to be the person who has been assigned to work with black students.

We, however, sometimes forget how we should act in the pool. We forget to allow for common courtesy. As a frequent swimmer I would like to list a tew suggestions for Pool Etiquette: 1 Showyour I.D. -there are at leastfive signs posted stating "SHOW YOUR ID." Yet students still ask "Do I have to show my ID?" Iftheydidn'twantyoutoshow your ID, they would not have the signs. 2 Shower before entering the pool - the pool is not a bathtub. Shower to clean off any dirt or sweat so as to keep the pool clean. 3. Take your shoes off when walking on the deck - This is to keep mud off the decks. 4. Do not sneeze or spit in the pool - If you must sneeze or spit use the gutters along the side of the pool. 5. Be sure you are capable of enough swimming before you try to go into the deep water. 6. If swimming taps try to stay in one lane. 7. Divers don't dive until the area is clear. 8. Divers keep the board set on no.1. Again there isa sign stating this so they probably mean it. 9. When using pool equipment, return it when you're through. Don't leave it lying on the deck for someone else to pick up. By returning it to where it belongs, other swimmers will know when you are finished with it. 10. Lastlylisten to thelifeguardsandrememberthey are just students doing their job protecting your lite. If we follow these general rules, the pool will be an enjoyable place for both the recreational swimmer and the tap swimmer.
