The Western Carolinian Page 9 Thursday, April 6,1989 Ballew Selected for Fulbright Scholarship by Jeff Ammons STAFF WRITER Bill Ballew, a WCU Honors student, has been selected to receive a Fulbright Scholarship. The scholarship covers all expenses for Bill to travel to Ruhr University in Bochum West Germany and study for one year. Bill will be working with Dr. Klaus on a project called "Processing of Emotional Stimuli in the Right Hemisphere." This project is in Bill's field of cognitive ncuro-psychology. Bill is a senior who will be receiving his B A from WCU in May. His is majoring in psychology and minoring in German. As a sophomore in college Bill took Intensive Gcnnan. Intensive language classes require students to attend a one hour lecture class four days a week and a "drill" class five days a week. The first day of class is in English and all other classes arc conducted in the respective language. In drill class students arc quizzed by student Teaching Assistants. Bill went on to be a Teaching Assistant in German. Bill is from Lake Jackson, Texas (near Houston). This will be Bill's first tripoutside of the US. "I've lived in Texas all my life and never even made it to Mexico," Bill says. The Fulbright Scholarship pays all expenses including airfare, tuition, room and board. The scholarship even obtains a passport for recipients. Bill is the first WCU student to receive the prestigious national scholarship. First Literary Showcase a Success Last semester at the urging of students in the English Club and on the Nomad staff, a literary coffee house was held at Sheryl Davis's house. The night was "an amazing success," according to Dr. Phillip Paradis. Approximately two dozen people attended; twenty of them read a story or some of their poetry. Most were students, graduate and undergraduates, although some were faculty and a few were not students. Some of the work that was read that night will be appearing in the next issue of Nomad, due out in late April. "We're following in an old and honorable tradition in this; writers habitually congregate, especially at the beginning of their careers, with other young writers, and they share their finished or unfinished work with each other," says Dr. Paradis. "They read it and got some feedback. They learn what works and what doesn't. It helps them to develop and mature as writers. It's sort of like LMP's open-mike night for student performers; only our showcase is devoted to litcr- Top High School Musicians to Gather for WCU Honor Band Approximately 80 top high school musicians from North Carolina and Virginia will gather at Western Carolina University April 7-9 for the ninth annual Honor Band and Conductor's Workshop weekend. The high school musicians, representing 17 schools, will begin intensive rehearsals Friday, April 7, leading up to a Sunday, April 9, concert led by Robert Spradling, director of bands at Syracuse University. The concert will begin at 2 p.m. in the recital hall of the Music-English Building at WCU. The recital is open to the public free of charge. Students selected to participate in the Honor Band weekend were recommended by their high school band directors. John HHTTEIRWEWs Terry Neinhuis; "Catch the Excitement by Bill McEntire STAFF WRITER Dr. Terry Neinhuis came here from Michigan in 1972 and has been here ever since. He is an Associate Professor of English who is well liked and respected by both his colleagues and his students. "Cullowhee is an exciting place that gets better each week," says he. Staff Writer: "What is the great attraction about teaching?" Neinhuis: "There arc people who teach who don't like it; I find that really sad. There are teachers who don't like students and that is amazing, but no more so than students who go to school and don't like school. I think the whole business starts with liking your students and interacting with them. If you like your students it doesn't matter where you are or what you teach. I feel that people who like to teach could teach anyone, anywhere, or anything. I feel that our becoming specialized is a shortcoming; we are broken up into departments, being made to feel that we have to become specialists to teach, and the accompanying assumption: that to leach, wc have to publish, is wrong. This is an emotional mindlcssncss that poisons the leaching environment; it is a parade of preconceived ideas that lack originality. People have Terry Neinhuis (Brad Kimzey photo) thought this way for so long that new students hook into it and accept the assumption that to specialize is their goal. It is for this reason that I prefer to tutor than to lecture. It is difficult to teach a group because of the interpersonal dynamics involved, but when I spend fifteen minutes in conference with a student then I am able to personality attend to their educational needs." Staff Writer: "has the library being down affected your teaching?" Neinhuis: "Oh sure! I predicted when the whole thing happened that by the time we got back from spring break some sort of temporary solution would be in effect. The library people have obviously done heroic work! We are a crisis-oriented society and enjoy being stimulated by the excitement of a crisis. I teach a class in horror films and one of the reasons people enjoy a good horror film is that it is a direct stimulation of the nervous system, something that will excite you!" Staff Writer: "How can others catch your excitement about Cullowhee?" Neinhuis: "Students who say this place is boring are hiding behind a type of guerilla tactic." Staff Writer: "How so?" Neinhuis: "I'm convinced that when students say something is boring they are essentially engaging in an act of aggression. They are saying, 'This doesn't interest me or excite me and you have to prove to me that it does!" I know that intramural activities are exciting, the theatre is exciting, and the. library is exciting. There is so> much more to get involved with, but those who say, "No, this is boring. I'm not interested," win the argument. To say "I'm bored," is to say "I lack internal resources and I am of little consequence." Anyone who wishes to become involved may do so, but they must find something to give and it doesn't have to be much either. They will get back far more than they give although it may be years before they realize it. Someday they will look back and say, "Cullowhee was an exciting place and I wish I could that excited now!" It's sad because that is when they lose the argument. So find something to do and do it. It will only lead to more things to do, and that is exciting!' ary arts." "The cafes and coffee houses of Europe have spawned literary coffee houses and arts all over America, especially in the larger cities. So we're trying to provide people in the Cullowhee community with access to locally-produced literary art, and we're also encouraging students and non-students in the area with literary talent and aspirations to participate. Just about every university in the country that has a writing program offers this kind of an opportunity for student writers to showcase their work. That's what we're doing here," says Dr. Paradis. Everyone who attended was very enthusiastic and many students voiced that they would enjoy having a coffee house each semester. The next literary showcase/coffee house will be Tuesday, April 18 from 7-9:30 pm at a location yet to be determined. If interested in attending or reading your work, please contact Dr. Paradis in the English department for more details. f RBI •v?---" LAST MINUTE PRODUCTIONS ••"•:v:-:>::::;.;|;::::;;.*:;:v:-.:: &::x->£:;i&>w.& West, assistant professorof music and director of bands at WCU, is chairman of the Honor Band program.
