  • Volume 56 Number 9 News The Western Carolinian Page 2 —Thursday, October n, 1990 College loses battle to get art for its campus SEATTLE, Washington (CPS) - Centralia College lost a round in a battle to house brightly colored, acrylic murals that artist Aldcn Mason said would not look good in Centralia's modernistic library. In siding with Mason, King County Superior Court Judge Terrence Carroll ruled Sept. 27 that the state, which owns the murals, should find a more "appropriate" place to display them. Mason's murals, designed specefically for the state Senate gallery in 1981, were rejected in 1987 by senators who complained the brightly rendered Pugct Sound scenes were unsuitable for the building. Since then, Centralia President Henry Kirk had campaigned to hanh the murals in his school's library. Mason objected to the site as too small and too modern. Radioactive dog burning is safe, officials say IOWA CITY, Iowa (CPS) - The University of Iowa's controversial plan to burn 1,000 carcasses of dogs previously used in medical research has been approved as safe by state health officials, UI health administrator William Twaler said Sept. 27. Twaler estimated that 5- to-15 percent of the radioactive tracings once injected into the dogs may be released when the bodies are incinerated, but said the radioactivity could be readily contained. Cal officials will not let students pay for PIRGs SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CPS) - University of California regents voted to forbid students to use a "negative checkoff system to pay fees to fund local Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs), founded in 1973 by Ralph Nader. "We think the nagative shcekoff system borders on being dishonest," said Susie Castillo- Robson, the nine-campus system's student activities director. The systemj, which was ruled illegal in a New Jersey court case ion the early 1980s, has students pay a fee to their local PIRG unless they check a box on their registration forms saying they don't want to pay it. "The administration doesn't like how we have voted, so they arc trying to prevent us from voting at all," complained University of California-Los Angeles student politician Holly Carring- ton, noting students last voted to impose the fee system on themselves in 1988. "Definitely, stdcnts are upset about this." All-women Mills College loses a few students OAKLAND, Calif. (CPS) - Enrollment at Mills College, dissuaded from admitting men by a seven-week student strike last spring, is down by three people, to 774 undergrads, college spokeswoman Vickie Bates announced. Trustees of the all-female Mills dropped their plan to admit men to serve a long enrollment slide when alumni promised to help the school withfundraising and student recruiting drives for this fall. Courtesy of College Press Service Noted novelist donates works to Hunter Library Sue Ellen Bridgers, Sylva author and nationally recognized novelist, has given a collection of her manuscripts and supporting materials to Western Carolina University' s Hunter Library. Included in the collection are original manuscripts with handwritten notations, revised manuscripts, correspondence with editors and publishers, galley proofs and final hardcover and paperback editions of her five novels — "Home Before Dark," "All Together Now," "Notes for Another Life," "Sara Will" and "Permanent Connections." Also included are drafts and revisions of her short stories "Life's a Beach" and "The Beginning of Something." A native of Winterville, near Greenville, N.C, Bridgers began her writing career in 1970. She moved to Sylva with her husband and children in 1971. Four years later she enrolled at Western Carolina University to complete the undergraduate work she'd begun in the early 1960s at East Carolina University. Her first novel, "Home OFl photo by Mark Haskell Sue Ellen Bridgers hands Chancellor Myron Coulter the manuscripts she donated to Hunter Library. "Leaves" cont. from Front during most of September. The so- called "peak" of the color season will probably come about the middle of October. Many conditions affect the colors of leaves in the fall. The color change depends on weather conditions, health of the trees and elevation. "Generally, the middle elevations have better color," Pittillo said. "About 3,000 to 4,000 feet is the best color zone." Something that is often overlooked, but equally as beautiful as the leaves is the fall wildflow- ers. "Fall colors are not totally restricted to trees and shrubs. There is a lot of good color in the wild- flowers." The N. C. Department of Before Dark," was published in 1976, the same year she graduated with highest honors from Western Carolina University. "Home Before Dark" was named to the American Library Association 1976 list of Best Books for Transportation has started a wild- flower program along WNC highways, gathering native flower seeds for planting in the wildflower display area with "wonderful" results, Pittillo said. "Currently blooming are yellow sunflowers, goldenrods and blue and purple asters. They should continue to bloom right up to frost and sometimes they can withstand the frost because they're native species that are adjusted to this climate," Pittillo said. "The color will be good, but it will be scattered," he said. "Just hunt around a little; you'll find some color somewhere. And if the leaves haven't reached their peak, people should take a close look at the wildflowers." Take some time over fall break to enjoy the scenery we are so fortunate to have in WNC. Don't take nature's gift for granted. Look up closely and appreciate the miracle of it all. Young Adults and the New York Times listof Outstanding Children's Books for 1976. "All Together Now" won a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, was named to the ALA's 1979 Best Books for Young Adults list, won a "Time Capsule" cont. from Front will be uncovered and opened at the sesquicentennial celebration in the year 2040. All those present at its burial will be invited back in that year. Next, it was decided by the comm ittee that only the centennial year at WCU would be represented by the contents of the Time Capsule. To cover the university's Christopher Award and was a finalist in 1980 in the American Book Awards competition in the paperback reprint category. Each of her next three novels—"Notes for Another Life" in 1981, "Sara Will" in 1985, and "Permanent Connections" in 1987— was selected for the ALA honor list, and "Permanent Connections" won a Gold Award from Parent's Choice in 1987. University Librarian William J. Kirwan said the library was "extremely pleased and grateful" to receive the Bridgers collection. "Sue Ellen is perhaps not as widely appreciated or well-known here at home as she is in the larger literary world," Kirwan said. "All five of her novels are in standard reference books that list books that should be in every school library. "This collection is quite complete. It contains originals, drafts, correspondence, proofs...all the elements are there." Kirwan said. Although Bridgers maintains that she does not write for a particular audience, her publishers have marketed her books as young adult novels entire history, Williams said, would lake many time capsules. Finally, Homecoming Day 1990 was chosen as the burial day and the end of the Centennial Celebration. Williams thanked a few of the people who assisted with the project, then brought up one final question he'd been asked: How would the university of the future know to find and uncover the Time Capsule in 2040? "Not to worry. I plan to be here to take care of that detail," he said. because young people figure so prominently in them. However, many critics say that her novels appeal to readers of all ages. Washington Post Book World reviewer Katherine Paterson said "Home Before Dark" is "for people like me, who want above all a really g0od story with characters they can care deeply for." Bridgers makes her home at 64 Savannah Drive in Sylva, with her husband, Ben, an attorney. They have three children—Elizabeth Abbott, Jane Bennett and Sean Mackenzie. A book about Bridgers has just been published by Twayne Publishers of Boston as part of the Twayne United States Authors Series. Written by Ted Hippie, it is entitled "Presenting Sue Ellen Bridgers." The Bridgers collection is organized and ready for use in the Special Collections section of Hunter Library.
