(Photo By Mark Haskett) Simply T's: An Undergraduate's By LAURIE WHITEHEAD Feature Writer How many students do you know who start their own business before they graduate? Well, Western Carolina can claim one such successful student whose shop will celebrate Its one year anniversary this November. The student I am referring to is Rob Reinhard, a May graduate of WCU and the shop is Simply T's, located on Main Street in Cullowhee. Rob got the idea to open the store last fall. Being a fraternity member, he knew how long it took to receive clothing ordered through catalogs. Hence...Simply T's. Orders began coming in October, before Rob had rented the store in Cullowhee, but that didn't slow him down. The doors opened on November 4,1986, and business has boomed ever since. It didn't take long for people to realize what a convenience Simply T's was. It not only caters to Sucess Story Greek organizations, but to anyone who wants writing on clothing. Due to the abundance of orders and the lack of storage space the first few months, Simply T's didn't look like your average clothing store. Sweatshirts and pants were stored in their boxes in the middle of the floor. But, there was a method to this madness. T-shirts were along the left wall, sweatpants along the right, hooded shirts in the middle and crewneck shirts by the counter. Makes sense — doesn't it? By January, Simply T's was remodeled and the orders kept coming. It became increasingly difficult to keep up the "same or next day" service that was advertised, but with growth comes change. This fall, Simply T's is managed by Lisa Rein- hard, Rob's sister. They have expanded the store's variety of goods from clothing to keychains. This one- stop-Greek-store has everything for the college student. Prices are still very reasonable and service is fast and friendly. Store hours are 1-6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Carolina "Collegiathon" Tests And Bodies Finally! A cluster of colleges in North and South Carolina have started a contest — called "Collegiathon" — to recognize the well-rounded student. The six participating colleges (Catawba, Mars Hill, and Elon in North Carolina and Newberry, Presbyterian, and Wofford in South Carolina) have always competed in athletic events. Now, they're meeting on other kinds of playing fields, too. School teams will compete in a range of sports — tennis, golf, swimming, and running — and in intellectual contests — bridge, chess, and a quiz, as well as grade-point averages. Schools are too geared toward honoring athletes, says Daniel Brown, the Catawba College (NC) philosophy professor who created Collegiathon. The new, all-around competition "recognizes students other than varsity athletes," he says. In fact, varsity athletes are not even allowed to compete, though they can volunteer to coach their team. The schools chose their first teams — consisting of two men and two women — on the basis of grades and tryouts. Individual team members aren't expected to be experts in all eight events. But the team as a whole must be skilled in every area. Besides the team members, lots of students and faculty have helped with Collegiathon. Students helped coach team members and cleaned up after the first contest (tennis), held late Minds in September. Several faculty also helped by coaching and officiating. "I suspect we'll involve 150 people on this campus alone by the end of the school year," says Brown. That's not counting those who come to cheer and yell for their teams. It's turned out, he says, that Collegiathon is a great way to promote school spirit. Collegiathon also helps students see that "life is multidimensional ," says Brown. It's not j ust sports, or even academics. "Life demands we compete In many different areas," he says. Brown's so convinced of the value of Collegiathon, he hopes "other clusters of colleges will pick up on this and want to do this." Maybe one day, the winning teams will meet at Catawba for "a national play-off in the summer," he says. AN INSIDE LOOK AT WCU'S BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT By JIM WHITTIER Feature Writer The biology department here at Western Carolina University serves a variety of purposes. As outlined by Dr. Fred D. Hinson, the biology department has three major goals. The department's top priority is to do an excellent job in teaching undergraduate students. Their second goal is for the biology department's research to be recognized around the area, state, country, and the world. Their third goal is to serve this region by advising students, working with student groups, judging science fairs at high schools, giving talks to clubs and organizations, and seminars at other colleges and universities. There are 13 faculty members and Dr. Frederick W. Harrison is the head of the department. According to Dr. Hinson, there are approximately 50 or 60 biology majors and nine graduate students. In the biology department, there are four possible degrees one may choose. They are B.S.E.D., B.S., M.A.E.D., and an M.S. in biology. Since biology is part of general education, there are around 500 students a semester enrolled in biology 101. There may be up to 200 students in one section of 101. Only six biology professors teach biology 101 which are usually the biggest classes. The botany and zoology classes have around 50 to 60 students in them, and the 300 to 400 level biology classes may have as few as five students in them. The biology department is not unlike any other departments that have clubs in their majors. There are around 12 to 15 members of the biology club. They meet once a month and throughout the year they have plant sales and book sales to raise money for a group trip like other academic clubs. Last year, the biology club took a trip to the Center For Disease Control In Atlanta. Since these surrounding mountains provide a perfect outdoor laboratory, WCU has a biology preserve located on Cullowhee Mountain Road. It is a 35 acre spot of land for natural biology courses. This area provides a great opportunity for graduate, undergraduate, as well as faculty, research. There are some faculty members who spend half of their ...continued Page 13 LAST MINUTE PRODUCTIONS DOUBLES BILLIARD TOURNAMENT Nov 10 / 7:00 pm- U.C.
