Annual mud volleyball tourny set for Sept. 21 Dave McCaskill News Writer The Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity is sponsoring its fourth annual mud volleyball tournament this coming weekend. This event will take place this Saturday, Sept. 21 across from the Ramsey Regional Activity Center. It will begin at 9:30 a.m. and last until the last match of double elimination volleyball has been played. Anyone is eligible to enter, but there is a S25 registration fee. There will be both men's and women's divisions, with the first place winners receiving $50.00 and second place winners receiving $40.00. There will be t-shirts available at Dodson cafeteria and at the event for the price of $ 10.00 per shirt. Concessions such as cokes, pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs will be available to spectators and contestants. Contestants will play on eight mud courts simultaneously, and a fresh water rinse off hose will be provided (a nearby creek can also be used to cool off). Last year, approximately 2,000 people showed up to participate and watch the tour- nament and a comparable crowd is expected this year. All proceeds from this fund raising event will be donated to the Ronald McDonald house in Greenville, S.C. The event is tentatively to be advertised on WYFF-TV in Greenville, S.C. and on Good Morning, America. Teams have registered from as far away as Char lotte to participate in the tournament. Last year $3,500 was raised and the sponsors hope that this year's event will be twice that size. So, come out and have fun for a good cause and cheer for your favorite team or participate yourself.

Fellowship named in honor of Dean Martin Kimberlee Shively News Writer Do you have a good academic record and take part in leadership roles? Students at Western meeting these criteria could be eligible for the Dean Martin Business Fellowship. This fellowship has been established in honor of the late Dr. Martin Dean Martin, who was a professor of marketing at Western from 1981-1990. The Development Foundation of Western Carolina University created the fellowship with concern for the late professor. Dr. M. Dean Martin contributed greatly to Western' s undergraduate and graduate programs. Martin taught courses in marketing, management, finance, economics, and project management.

Sam Fleming at the ceremony on September 17. This is an annual honor given to the highest ranking cadet on campus. "Hill Area" once served as center of WCU campus Buildings of yesteryear serve a variety of functions today Jennifer Mann Associate Editor Editor's Note: This is one in a series of articles dealing with the history of dorms and academic buildings on campus. Students of today living in the residence halls on the "hill area" of campus always complain about the walk, but they rarely complain about the scenery. There would be stories to tell if only the walls could talk in residence halls that date back to the early days of this campus, such as Madison, Davies Home/ Reynolds, Moore, Joyner, Robertson, and Buchanan. Connections to the past are possible thanks to the book "A Mountain Heritage The Illustrated History of Western Carolina University", written by Curtis W. Wood and H. Tyler Blethen. WCU' s first school yearbook, The Oogoocoo, was first published in 1918 and is a good historical source. "Oogoocoo" is the Cherokee word for "owl." The owl, a "symbol of wisdom," served as the school mascot until the 1930s. The Madison Building, constructed in 1903, was the school's first major building, and the first to be consuueted with state funds. Madison has since then been torn down, reconstructed, and serves today as a women's residence has with a capacity for approximately 100 residents. Wood and Blethen's book, A Mountain Heritage, said Davies Home, opened in 1910, Home looked much like the structure of Reynolds residence hall today. In 1949, Davies was torn down and replaced by Reynolds. Reynolds is now a newly renovated men's residence hall and Photo courtesy WCU Special Collections Madison Hall as it appeared in 1923. Cullowhee Valley. The 65 acre farm enabled the institution to grow much of its own food. In 1927, Moore Dormitory provided housing for 180 women. The rules for the Young Women's House Government Association required restricted study from 7:00p.m. to9:45 p.m. with lights out at 10:05 p.m. Violations were published by "campusing" (Wood and Blethen 86). Moore is no longer used as a residence hall. The bottom is used by the campus radio station, health sciences classes, and S.E.C. team living quarters, and the top floor is used for storage," said Lisa Sons, Assistant Director for Housing. In 1930,Robertson Dor mitory was constructed in the place where the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church once stood. The hall housed 110 students and was named for Reuben B. Robertson. Today, Robertson is a married and graduate student dormitory with 42 apartments. Life in the residence halls hick then was not easy according to Wood and Blethen. Students and teachers were forced to build fires and wear overcoats in the dormitories and classrooms. When water was used in the boilers, the supply in the dormitories was low. For weeks the teach- See "History" Page3 Faculty exhibition set for Sept. 23 in Belk building provided the school' s first accommodations for young women. The building was named after board of trustees member, Daniel D. Davies. The school dining hall was located there until 1930 and students and faculty living in Madison and Davies had their meals there. There was also a parlor where young women met their friends. The structure of Davies houses approximately 250 students. According to Wood and Blethen, the Joyner building was built in 1913. The area in front of Joyner was a central campus mect- ing place and required its own stoplight in the 1950s.
