The Western Carolinian 5 Holtzclaw Thursday, July 23, 1987 from Page 4 has read almost all the books she has in her collection. Her favorite writers include the Russian author Doestoevsky, and, of course, William Shakespeare from whom she gets one of her favorite Carowinds Concerts quotations: "This thou percievst which makes thy love more strong o love that well which thou mult leave 'ere long." Her message is simple, but powerful. Think, and love life as intensly as you possibly can. From 8:00 A.M. to 9:15 A.M. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I think, and love, and dream perhaps more intensely than during any other seventy-five minutes of any day. from Page 3 Splash ■ | On August 30 Starshlp and their special guest the Cutting Crew will rock Carowinds.

Wilburn Hayden Jr., head of WCU's social work department, will lead the conference. It will focus on the bi-level certificate program for basic family service assistants and advanced family service associates, based on undergraduate social work courses offered by WCU. The certificate program is designed to develop helping skills in practitioners working with children and their families. The first course includes skills in communication and rapport building, family dynamics, fostering self-efficiency in the family, assertiveness training, building self-esteem and stress management. The second course aims to develop skills in problem solving, group work and community resource development. It looks at identifying and solving problems, understanding a community and its resources, and decision making. The two courses are required for the first level of certification, the family services assistant. Certification at the second level, family services associate, consists of courses in social welfare history and policy, working with families, personality, environment and culture, research, and an internship. Since the program started in September 1986, 65 workers have been certified as family service assistants through the WCU courses. In addition, courses have been offered in Ashevilie and Morganton and in Kentucky at Paintsville, Bowling Green and Lexington. This year courses will be conducted throughout the Southeast. The purpose of the bi-level certification program for Head Start workers is to build on their skills for effective practice, Hayden said. "For the most part, the only group currently working with all levels of low- income children and families is Head Start. Our program aims to meet the needs of the employees and help low-income children become productive adults." For more information on the family service skills certification program offered by WCU, contact Wilburn Hayden Jr., social work department, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, N.C. 28723, telephone (704) 227-7112.

Summer Theatre Draws To A Close "The Kingfisher", a comedy by William Douglas Home, will close the summer theatre season at Western Carolina University. The play will be produced by the department of speech and theatre arts Monday through Wednesday, July 27-29, at 8 p.m. This British comedy concerns the marital ambitions of a successful 70-year-old novelist, Sir Cecil Warburton, played by Richard Dudley of Birmingham, Alabama. For fifty years, while having notorious affairs, he has carried a torch for his one true love, Evelyn (played by Jean Wagenseil of Franklin), who married another man when Sir Cecil offended her sense of propriety. Now she is new widowed, and Sir Cecil invites her to tea. His devoted butler-valet of fifty years, Hawkins (played by Roger Bright of Franklin), is disconcerted as the comedy proceeds in the garden where Sir Cecil made his first offensive proposition and now intends to propose. "The Kingfisher" was originally produced in London in 1980. It subsequently had a Broadway run with Rex Harrison and Clauderte Colbert. Directing the WCU production is Donald Loeffler. The set, centered upon an old beech tree in the garden, is designed by Herschel Harper. Lighting design is by Jim Irvin and sound design by Russell Nail. Tickets may be reserved by calling 227-7491 or 227-7365. Ticket prices are $5 for adults, $3 for students and senior citizens, and $2 for children. Summer R omance Fading A way By MARGARET CRITES People Editor Falwell from Front Page have a party dedicated in honor of Rev. Falwell and the PTL. Some even expressed outright enthusiastic support for the man and planned to attend. The center of the hurricane of controversy is Rev. Jerry Falwell, Chancellor of Liberty University and leader of the so-called Moral Majority (now renamed the Liberty Foundation). Efforts to reach Rev. Falwell at Liberty University and the Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia proved unsuccessful. However, a staffer confirmed that Rev. Falwell will have a meeting of some kind with the press before his speaking engagement. Whether the pres^ will be allowed to ask questions is another matter entirely. However, dispite all the controversy surrounding Rev. Falwell's trip to Western Carolina University, the issue will be met (as far as Cullowhee goes) on July 30,1987 at 7:00 p.m. As you tossed your books on the table, and started to sip on your milkshake, you noticed someone staring at you. You brushed your hair out of your face, and smiled. "Not bad" you think to yourself, and smile again. The perfect beginning to the infamous "summer romance." But now the summer session is coming to a auick close....and you have to decide whether or not you want to continue seeing your old flame or the new one. In any case, you have to break up with one of them; but HOW??? First you need to decide which person deserves your affections....and will be most likely to return them. Will the midnight walks under the summer moon stop once fall semester starts? Can you handle this? Which person is more fun more consistently? Which are you better friends with? Once you decide which is the truer love, the easy part of breaking up is over. If you opt for continuing the summer into the fall, breaking up with the past lover is pretty easy. If you write letters to last spring's love, just write the everfamous "Dear John/Jane letter." You could be honest and explain the situation, then beg for mercy. Or you can tell him/her of all the personality flaws you were to good to mention last spring. I personally like the "I'm sexually attracted to you, but I am looking for more than just good sex in a relationship,and you basically have to personality, so good-bye," type of letter. Brutal, yes, but it feels so good to act so (blank) superior once in a while. Another approach to breaking up is to take the classic "I have never laid eyes on you, or anything else for that matter, and I wish you would just go away" attitude. This should be used for extreme cases only....you might need a date sometime in the future. By far, the best approach seems to be honest....as nasty as honesty seems. Quietly, sincerely, and any other "ly" way you can think of, explain the situation and hope they understand. Doing things the "ly" way leaves both parties feeling good, and the door is still open in case the summer romance whithers and blows away n the fall. Should you decide to be noble...honest...decent and want to go back to the person you worked so hard to ensnare last spring...breaking up with the moonlight walker may prove to be somewhat more difficult. More difficult simply because you have to face the person for a few more days. Again, you could just be honest and explain the situation...and hope they understand. Or you could ignore the person....act real mad...make them think it's their fautt. More devious means would be to tell them that you're pregnant from another boyfriend..this doesn't usually work for guys though. You could tell them that you want to join a convent/monastary...or any other fanatic religious sect....just don't shave your head to prove the point. A favorite, and approach that isn't used often, is changing sexual preferances. Not only does this practically insure a break up, but does some real ego damage as well....and provides employment to starving psycho-analysts. What ever you do, don't alienate both persons, and cherish those memories forever....so you can bore your grandchildren and frustrate them with the line "When I was your age I use to...." well, maybe you'll be able to tell stories like that to your grandchildren.
