  • The Western Carolinian Page 6 Thursday, September 29,1988 Take A Ride on "The Majic Busn by Anna Henricks Have you ever wished you could go to Ashevilie and not have to drive and worry about DWI? Or wanted to go to a concert in Knoxville or Charlotte but worried about missing class the next day because the drive was so long? Dale Aitken, of Waynesville, has come up with a solution. He is the driver of the "Majic Bus." The "Majic Bus" is an 18 passenger, luxury cruiser that will take you and your friends where you want to go. For around $ 16, you can go bar hopping in Ashevilie, round trip and never touch a steering wheel. Ride in style and comfort to area bars such as Cinjade's, 45 Cherry, T.K. Tripp's, Magnolia's, Encore, Equinox, and Isadora's. The cover charge of most of these bars is included in the cost of the bus. Also, if the club is member's only, riding the "Majic Bus" allows you to get into those clubs anyway. No more standing outside waiting for a member to sign you in. This "large limousine" as Aitken calls it, has a regular sized bathroom, a full length mirror, a color T.V. with VHS VCR, a stereo/cassette deck, and airplane style seats. You can watch music videos, a movie or listen to your favorite tapes on the way. Also, it is legal to bring your own beer, wine or liquor on the bus and since there is an ice bar at the rear of the b us, you can fix a drink on the road if you want. Right now, Aitken still works with groups that call and make reservations for his bus, but he would like to begin a service at Western Carolina that picks up students on regular nights, for instance Wednesday (ladies night at many clubs) and maybe Friday nights to go to area bars. Aitken says that he is hoping to make "Majic Bus" trips a regular thing at Western. Students have complained for years about being stuck in the boonies with no bars and that contributes to the "suitcase college" image that Western has. With DWI laws getting more strict every year, the "Majic Bus" is an option for students to avoid driving drunk. Aitken is very flexible with his bus. where they want or need to go, maybe the bank, Shoney's, or to a convenience store. If the group gets tired of one bar, they can go to another. Aitken says that he goes by what the group wants to do. If some want to stay at one bar and others want to go to another, he is willing to make a loop around to the area bars, but he prefers the group stay together. It can get confusing if there are three people at one bar and five at another. People can get lost in the shuffle. A group of Lambda Chi's chartered the bus last spring and said that the trip was great. "Mr. Aitken was very accomodating and we all had a good time," says Gib Jones, the social chairman for Lambda Chi Alpha. Round trip bus rides to Charlotte and other cities for concerts is another plan that Aitken would like to implement. Because the bus has a bathroom and many other comforts of home, it is ideal for long trips. Bring your own tapes, VCR or cassette, and your own beer or liquor if you want. Aitken began with this idea in November of 1987 after watching a drunk driver on Interstate 40 and realized that partygoers needed a way to get back and forth from the party scene. The "Majic Bus" is based out of M Sc M Muffler's, 1121 North Main Street in Waynesville which is across from Carolina Tire.

Open House is designed to give prospective students and their parents a first-hand look at Western. High school juniors and seniors and college transfer students considering WCU will have an opportunity to tour the campus, meet professors and attend a Southern Conference football game free of charge. The Open House begins at 1 pm with registration and an information fair at the Lis- ton B. Ramsey Regional Activity Center. Tours of WCU academic departments will begin at 2:30 pm, followed by campus tours starting at 4 pm. During the tours, prospective students will have an opportunity to view classrooms and laborato- Open House Provides "Inside-Look" At WCU ries, visit residence halls and other facilities, and talk with WCU professors and students about programs of study and campus life. Students will also have a chance to sample cafeteria food, with pay-as- you-go dinners served at both Brown and Dodson cafeterias beginning at 5 pm. Prospective students who attend the Open House will be guests of the university when the WCU Catamounts take on The Citadel in a Southern Conference football game at 7 pm in Whitmire Stadium. Tickets for parents are $8 each. For additional information on the Open House, contact the Office of Admissions at (704) 227-7317. Recipe Booklet Offers Healthy Suggestions by Holly Wheatley People Editor WANTED: Computer Layout Artists, Ad Sales Representative, and Proofreaders Apply: The Western Carolinian, P.O. Box 66, Cullowhee, NC 28723 Old Student Union 227-7267 Let's face it, most of us have probably forgotten about eating nutritionally while we've been at college. When we eat in the cafeteria, we don't choose a food from each of the four food groups, and when we get tired of cafeteria food, we swing by Burger King or Pizza Hut. But now, thanks to the nutritionists at "Sweet 'N Low," a crash course in eating healthy is available! A new booklet, "10 Healthy Eating Tips for the Harried College Student," provides advice for selecting and preparing quick and nourishing meals and for dieting safely. And for those who hold late-night study sessions, there are suggestions for low-calorie snacks. Winning recipes from the Sweet 'N Low "Grade 'A' Cooking Contest" are included in the booklet. This contest challenged college students and college food- service employees to develop healthful, easy recipes that can be prepared in a residence-hall room using only small appliances. To order your copy of this booklet, send a check or money order for 50 cents to cover postage and handling to: Cumberland Packing Corp.60 Flushing Avenue, Dept. CS Brooklyn, NY 11205 Impressive Hand-Carved Paintings Delight Mountain Heritage Day Participants Review of the I raft Shows * GO Cats!! * Beat the Citadel Bulldogs 11 Students For Hire11 Program Benefits Students and Faculty by Christine Faris by Frederick Mason While strolling around looking at the many different crafts and wares during Mountain Heritage Day, I was amazed at the quality of these works. Each craft looked as if someone spent uncounted months painting, molding, cutting, polishing, and shaping to perfection. My mouth was literally open with awe as I passed from one place to another. From colorful paintings of landscapes and barns to hand-crafted leather belts personalized for customers, every art impressed me, but the craft I was impressed with was a pure work of art. It was hand-carved paintings. What made it so unique was that the artist did not merely paint his picture, but rather sculpted it from wood. A picture of a house with the background of a mountain seemed so real that you had to reach out and touch the painting. The main characters of the picture actually stood out like pictures in a pop-up book. Houses, people and animals looked so real in such a peaceful setting. Touches of paint enhanced the already remarkable works of art. Other people were also amazed and wanted to know who did the work. Whoever actually did deserves any and all credit because I have never seen anything as different and as interesting as those hand-carved paintings. The WCU Residence Hall Association is promoting a new service in conjunction with faculty, staff, and students. According to Lisa Sons, director of Residence Life and RHA advisor, the "Students for Hire" program gives students the opportunity to earn money while, in turn, offers various types of assistance to faculty members. The program is a resource listing of students who have expressed an interest in doing a variety of jobs for pay. This is how the program works. First, students fill out a "Students for Hire" registration form on which they indicate specific jobs they are interested in. Afewof the jobs to choose from include: babysitting, painting, house- cleaning, typing, cooking, mowing, and tutoring. These forms can be obtained from the housing of- Lisa Sons, director of Residence Life and RHA advisor, explains how students can make a "few extra bucks." (B™tKim»yphoio) fice. Second, when a faculty member contacts the R. H. Association in search of help with a particular task, he or she is given the names of students who have specified interest in that job. Finally, the faculty member makes direct contact with the students, or student, and negotiates details of the job and pay rate. According to Sons, even though the service is just getting underway, it is proving to be quite succesf ul. As of last Thursday, 130 students had already responded. If you are a faculty member who needs help with a task, or if you are a student who wants to make a "few extra bucks", please contact Lisa Sons at 227-7303.
