Volume 57 Number 5 Groups for Growth Michelle Mazzucco Contributing writer Each semester, WCU Counseling and Psychological Services offers groups on a variety of topics to promote the growth and self-awareness of the participants. These groups meet for eight to 10 weeks beginning the week of Sept. 16-20 for Fall 1991. Almost anyone can benefit from participation in a group. The different groups are developed by staff members at Counseling and Psychological Services, and address issues of common interest to a variety of people. Some groups may be experiential in nature, wherein participants have the opportunity to learn through doing. An example is the Creative Relaxation Group. While involved in this particular group, participants will learn effective and fun ways to manage stress and anxiety through the use of techniques such as imagery and progressive muscle relaxation. Other groups will be more discussion-oriented, with a staff member acting as facilitator for the group's discussion. An example for this type of group is the Body Image group, which offers a supportive Features The Western Carolinian Page 5 Thursday. September 12, 1991 atmosphere in which to explore emotions and experiment with different behaviors relative to becoming more comfortable with one's self and how one's body looks. Other groups for Fall 1991 include Gulf War Transition Support, Enhancing Our Relationships, Assertiveness Workshops, Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, Codependency, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Dreamwork, Managing Feelings of Depression, Returning Students Support Group (for people who return to school after being out for a number of years), and the RAP group (discussion group for lesbians and gays). Confidentiality is an issue for many potential group participants. All group leaders discuss with members what the "ground rules" will be for their group at the beginning of the session. Most group participants agree not to disclose information about the group and its members to anyone. Counseling and Psychological Services treats the groups as it does any other client and participation is STRICTLY CONFIDF.N- UAL. A group can offer a challenging setting in which to explore an area of specific interest with others who share that interest. It is an experience in which it is possible to learn more about yourself and others and to be involved in the process of building trust in others while getting support and feedback from peers in a non-competitive, non-threatening environment. If you are interested in finding out more about groups offered at Counseling and Psychological Services, please call or come by the office. Hours are 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. We are located in Scott 114 (east wing, ground floor), telephone 227-7469. MILK BACK TO THE BASICS.

Music dept. offers Orff-Schulwerk training course Western Carolina University's department of music will offer a"September Scries" Orff- Schulwerk training course featuring Doug Goodkin of San Francisco as guest clinician. Goodkin, who has traveled extensively across the globe to study the music and instruments of other countries, will lead a course in "Jazz in the Elementary/ Middle School Curriculum: An Orff-Schulwerk Perspective." The special "September Series" course will be held Sept. 13-14 in the Music-English Building at WCU. Goodkin is a music teacher at The San Francisco School, a private elementary school where he has developed a music program for students ranging in age from 3 to 13. The program, based on Orff- Schulwerk principles, develops experience in and understanding of the fundamental musical elements through speech, song, body percussion, Orff instrument ensemble, movement, folk dance, games, art and drama. Sources for musical materials include American folk heritage, world music, European art music and original compositions. . Goodkin, who has several publications and video projects to his credit, has traveled to Bali, Indonesia, India, Nepal, Thailand, Java, Japan, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Europe. He has taught summer Orff courses in Texas, Minnesota, Arizona, Maine, and California and has been a clinician throughout the United States, as well as in Canada and Australia. Goodkin will be a presenter at the American Orff- Schulwerk national conference in San Diego in November. The "September Series" at WCU offers training courses in the Orff-Schulwerk process of music education during the month of September. The series began in 1989, and this marks the third year of the series. One unit of continuing education credit is available for the 10- hour course. Enrollment is limited. WCU, which has offered Orff-Schulwerk courses since 1982, established a master of music education degree in 1986, featuring a concentration in Orff-Schulwerk. The Orff-Sculwerk process is a Creative, non-threatening music education thrust in which a child learns music as he or she makes music, said Eva Adcock, WCU music professor and coordinator of Western's Orff-Schulwerk Training Programs. A comprehensive approach to music education, Orff-Schulwerk encompasses movement, singing, and playing of xylophones, metalphones and various percussion instruments. Goodkin will be at WCU as part of the university's Visiting Scholars Program. For more information about WCU's Orff-Schulwerk program or to register for upcoming courses, contact Eva Adcock at telephone (704) 227-7242. "Democrats" from page 4 scrap the macroeconomic policies of the Bus h administration for a more realistic, balanced approach to the macroeconomic management of the complex U.S. economy. We should scrap such hack proposals as the capital gains tax cut;: since, this cut is basically going to benefit the wealthiest of American who have done quite well in the last few years. Rather, we should focus on cutting the social security tax on working Americans. It is time that we march to the beat of adifferent drummer, a beat of fairness and equity to all Americans as opposed to fairness and equity fortheprivilegedonly. In truth, it is time that we elect a new president. A president who is a Democrat and a firm spokesman for the middle income American. Someone who knows what the poorer economic stratum is dealing with today. In finality, it is time to throw the rascal out. It is time that Democrats stood up for what they believe in and let Americans know what President Bush really stands for. Keith Stiles "REl>mU.ICAN" FROM PAGE 4 from the President while failing to propose their own solutions. In short, the way to fix our nation's economic woes and provide for the future is to "throw the bums out" of Congress, and put in people who care about.the economy and have the courage to do more than whine about it.
