  • Volume 57 Number 22 News The Western Carolinian Page 3 Thursday, March 26, 1992 Appalachian Studies Conference hosted by WCU Wanda Crawford Contributing Writer Appalachian residents, like citizens of many other headstrong subcultures with arich existence outside the American mainstream, stand balanced with a foot in each of two worlds. How to keep these worlds from racing away from one another and leaving the balancers in oblivion was the focus of the 15th Annual Appalachian Studies Conference hosted by WCU the weekend of March 20-22. "As with most of the rest of the world, Appalachia has deep contradictions in its culture," said poet Jim Wayne Miller, who spoke to a standing-room-only session on the topic, "The Two Worlds of Appalachia: Mules and Missiles." "Part of Appalachian life is very traditional and old-timey and part is very modern," he said. 'These people have eaten change alive — they've had to." Along with all the problems that come with bringing change into a deeply traditional region, he said, is the spectre of bigotry which has haunted its citizens for two centuries and more. This bigotry has lent itself to name-calling (hillbilly, hick, briar, etc.), stereotyping (lazy, violent, ignorant), discrimination and exploitation. "There are always on-the- rack perceptions just waiting to be pulled off and donned," he said. This, he said, represents "an intellectual failure" to " appreciate regions." In a session entitled "Im ages of Appalachia," Dr. Nancy Joyner of WCU's English Department pointed out some of the origins of Appalachian stereotypes in the literature of the Local Color Movement of the 19th century. The "detail and verisimilitude" of American local colorists, she said, helped prove to readers that American writing really was American. It was these writers, however, through their "blend of the domestic and the exotic," who created and popularized some of Appalachian most lingering stereotypes. While the conference appeared to offer few solutions to the problems faced by Appalachia, other sessions, which sometimes ran as many as eight topics at once, in different rooms throughout the 12-story hotel, focused attention on the riches of Appalachia — its music, poetry, prose, arts and crafts, history, psychology, natural resources and economic potential. In his documentary, "Although Our Fields Were Streets," film-maker Peter Miller interviewed five Appalachian people who left their homes in the mountains to seek jobs in cities outside the region. Though each of these people, whom Miller called "survivors of stereotyping," spoke of humiliations suffered and opportunities scotched by bigotry, their testimonies spoke more of pride than of hardship. Dr. Tyler Blethen, WCU history professor and chairman of the conference's program committee, said the conference's divergent studies each year serves two kinds of people in two ways. "First, it lets people who are studying Appalachia interact, exchange ideas and research and bring each other up to date," he said. "And, second, it allows the general public to come and hear the current ideas of scholars concerning the future and past of the region. N.C. Professors attend Political Science Asoc. meeting Dave McCaskill News Writer LastFriday, Mar. 20, Western Carolina University held the North Carolina Political Science Association's 22nd annual meeting. All the events took place in the A.K. Hinds University Center and were open to students. Professors attended from all over the state, representing schools such as Duke.NC State, Chapel Hill, f^CITY New and used Books; Magazines; Music; Videos 55 East Main Street, Sylva, NC 28779 (704) 586-9499 Appalachian, and many more. The conference progressed in a series of round table and panel discussions on topics ranging from public law to the "Aftermath of the Gulf War: Reshaping Order in the Middle East." 'These meetings give us the opportunity to discuss controversial and important topics, i.e. the 1992 Presidential Elections," said Don Livingston, associate professor of political science at WCU. This meeting also facilitated NC professors by giving them a floor to discuss and debate issues in an academic surrounding. The meeting is held at a different location each year. The next three meetings will be held at NC Central, Charlotte, and Wilmingtonfor 1993,1994,and 1995 respectively. "The expenses are covered by both personal and school funds. The more you participate, the more likely you are to get funds," says Dr. Livingston.

Ramsey Regional Activities Center Saturday, April 11, 1992 6:30 p.m. No Admission Charge Sponsored by LCE and The International Festival Committee written papers on each of their topics and a chairman was appointed to see which paper was better after a discussion and explanation of the subject The panel on public law centered around the non-parity of elected versus appointed judicial positions. "The party identification, whether Democrat or Republican often determines the vote when can didates are unknown," said Robert Moogs of N.C .State. His paper was entitled "The Politics of Judicial Selection Reform in North Carolina." Traci Reid, another professor from N. C. State, focused more on merit selection versus populist in her preliminary investigation into the organizational variations in state appeals court behavior. Joseph A. Aicher, the discussant from NC Central, concluded the panel by stating that law was evolutionary rather than revolutionary and that there will probably be no sudden change in the process of judicial selection.

ABLE sponsors project WCU enters school design competition Kimberlee Shively News Writer Western Carolina University is entering a national competition to design a new, twenty-first century school sponsored by the New American Schools Development Corporation of Washington, DC. The contest can be credited to the Bush Administration's plan for "American 2000** school reform. This project will provide $1.5 million to $3 million in grants to fund design teams in 1992 and 1993. The money will be used to implement the best design of the New American School and disperse the results throughout the nation. Western's Education and Psychology professors are writing a proposal for a world-class rural school using suggestions from parents, public school teachers, and others from the region. The project is sponsored by WCU's new regional education alliance called ABLE (the Alliance of What Can Make ACUVUE* Disposable Contact Lenses Even Better? A Free Trial Pair!

Business, Leaders, and Educators), under the direction of Donald Chalker. Chalker is the head of Western's department of administration, curriculum and instruction. The current proposal is to have a school that would hold 660 students, grades kindergarten through 12. There would be an approximate student-teacher ration of 15-1. The school would be linked with other institutions through telecommunications. The "learning by doing' method of teaching would be promoted along with the equality of Democracy in Education movement. "We want the school to reflect rural community life and yet help rural schools in our region adopt new concepts and practices," the plan says. "Our goal is to influence constructive change in all of the schools of the region and to develop a school design plan that can be used by other rural American communities."
