Over one hundred twenty people from WCU and the surrounding community gathered Saturday to help preserve the beauty and safety of the river. Participants floated down the river in rafts and canoes while making stops along the river's banks to gather trash. Thrcehundrcd bags of trash were picked up in the river and on its banks. This included 18 tires, two sinks, various car parts, medical waste, coils of wire, pipe, and many, many more interesting items. After a rewarding day of cleaning up the river, a free cookout was held for all those who participated. Fifty door prizes, donated by local merchants, were given out at that time. The main two sections of the river that were cleaned were the Dillsboro to Barke'rsCreek section and the East LaPorte to Cullowhee section. Major Financial contributors to the clean-up were: Great Smoky Mountains Railway, Jackson County Savings and Loan, The Jackson Paper Mfg.

Queen to manage WWCU for f91-f92 Robert M. Robertson StaffWriter The new WWCU radio station General Manager, Bryan Queen, is a mover and a shaker with impressive credentials, personal motivation, and a vision for the future of Catz Radio. Queen was appointed General Manager on Wednesday, April 17, after being interviewed by the Campus Communications Committee of Western Carolina University. Right away Queen plans changes for WWCU radio. "My first job is to hire people under me...to develop a staff, to gel the program director and news director to make the station run," explained Queen. "We're going to re-establish the news department," Queen adds. "I feel that students here don't have access to news. What they do get of news comes from us and I want to focus on that," he adds. "I'd like to combine with the newspaper to closely work together [on] news stories...get a common support and go after a story rather than one organization getting the story. We do represent the media on campus. We'll probably have to work more closely with the Carolinian like covering away games and mutually do some things and climW nate some costs and (split expenses). "Money is a big problem but it's not going to deter us from our jobs. We provide entertainment for the students and we provide a service and that's not going to deteriorate because of money. "One of the bigger problems is students getting involved. It takes a lot to volunteer your time because we don't pay positions...so we have to make it fun. "There was a survey done last fall by the RTV department. Based on the results of it, in which we interviewed the majority of students on campus, there will be some small changes in format to give them what they want. "We '11 keep our format during the day but we might bring back someblockprogramrhing. Wemight have a classic rock program at night. This is not going to totally re-do our format. We're going to keep the Top 40/CHR. We'll probably bring back a dedication night and probably country night. "We're going to work with LMP more closely this year- co-sponsor some events. We're going to be at their events with remotes. We're going to require Dodson and Brown cafeterias to play us. "We're also going to change some of the Public Service Announcements on the radio. Right now they're things like buy U.S. savings bonds. I want them to represent local organizations on and around campus. "Ultimately I do have the responsibility for changes made." Queen has ample experience in radio and television, putting See "WWCU-FM" Page 4 Democracy in education: Professors to hold conference Up With People scheduled for May 6 Karen Stewart StaffWriter "Watch the world come alive on stage."

Up With People is an international organization made up of young adults from ages eighteen to twenty-five representing twenty countries. At the show there will be one hundred and ten members providing entertainment for the whole See "People" Page 4 Karen Stewart StaffWriter Democracy in education will be the subject of a conference held on campus from Thursday, May 2 to Saturday, May 4 at the University Center. Dr. Mary Jean Herzog, assistantprofessorof administration, curriculum and instruction, and Dr. Lisa Bloom, assistant professor of special education, are the coordinators of the conference. Some topics lhat will be discussed are equitable treatment for all children, students and choice, integrated curriculum and other thought-provoking ideas for a more democratic education system. The "democratic school" lets the students have more choices during the learning process. For ex ample, instead of telling students what books to read, this process gives them a choice from a wide selection. Equality will only occur when the teachers become more aware. Herzog explains that the teacher should "see students as individuals, not as stereotypical members of a preordained group." child-centered methods are also stressed in the "democratic school." The needs of the student determine what will be taught. In other words, it is important to make sure the student is ready before progressing to the next level. For more information, call Mary Jean Herzog at 227-7415. Student are welcomed to attend some or all of the conference. Herzog emphasized that this is a "concern for society, not just for teachers." Survey reveals that dishonesty is common among Western students Jennifer Mann News Editor Editor's Note: This is the fourth part in a four pari series on cheating at the college level. ' Previous articles in which professors were intcrvicwcd,and student survey results,seem to indicate that academic dishonesty is common among students at Western Carolina University. In response lo this, our school has adopted a new Academic Honesty Policy lhat will go into effect for the 1991-1992 academic year. According lo Vice-Chancellor for Student Development Dr. Glenn Stillion, we borrowed heavily from the philosophy of ihe University of Maryland's policy. Still, some details were not adopted, such as the "XF grade. Essentially, the "XF' grade is designed to prohibit those students found guilty of academic dishonesty from participating in extracurricular ac- tivilics such as intramurals, SGA or any other orga- See "Cheating" Page 2 Cheating On Campus... ? = >"T>?>?*!|ll!l.'.l''''l,.'.|.'"lll'.'.'-'-''!,r'!'l'.>?fTr W!TW* n 4 6 3 3 c o '1-4 r, vi B Eiji —■ z r»f?i'i!'TTr';';'!'!'?'T';'T';'!';';';'v:'!i;'!'!'!'Tr'T''<TT'''T'!'!'?»;'i'i'i'!!'' 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Percentage answering 'Yes^,,^^^
