You are appreciated! Laura Whitmire, a supreme Carolinian typesetter. I didn't put you in my final editorial, but I figured you'd be upset if I didn't mention you, so here it goes. . . Thanks for giving me discipline. I never worked harder than when New Editors & GM appointed for 1992-93 Jennifer Mann News Editor The Publications/Media Board has announced their choices of students to be incharge of the Catamount yearbook, The Western Carolinian, and WWCU-FM Z-91 for the 1992- 93 school year. Cheryl Goetz will be the new Catamount yearbook editor; Laura Adams will be the new editor for The Western Carolinian and Bob McCanless will take over as the new General Manager for Z-91. As editor, Goetz plans to bring the Catamount out of current debt by making the book well known which will in turn increase sales. "I think the book has the potential to be really good next year if we're able to come out of the financial problems," said Goetz. "Right now we're selling less than 200 books in a school of 6 thousand plus." She said her experience and her plans to increase sales helped her get this job. She plans to focus on making the yearbook a student's book. The administration has considered going to a video yearbook because of the low number of sales. Goetz would like to see the bound version remain. "The only problem I have with the video is that is cannot take the place of the bound yearbook." "Andrea Oakes, the current Catamount editor and I agree that the video yearbook should be used in conjunction with the bound yearbook." Goetz also said she has had no experience with a video Carolinian photos by Hunter Pope Bob McCanless yearbook, but she is willing to learn. This year resolutions have been brought before and passed by the SGA Senate concerning the yearbook. "I do agree with the reso lution that SGA recently passed concerning the yearbook," said Goetz. "This resolution says that when paying school tuition, parents will have the opportunity to check if they want to buy a yearbook and the cost will then be automatically added to the tuition. I believe this will increase sales also." Goetz realizes that the See" Appointees" Pg. 2 Taste test develops questionnaire skills Dave McCaskill News Writer Last Monday, B.J. Dunlap's Marketing 304 consumer behavior class held a taste test on the UC lawn. The test included pizza, lemonade, pickles, picante sauce, jello, hot dogs, and doughnuts. The class was divided up into seven different groups and each created their own questionnaire. "The exercise enables them to learn how to develop a questionnaire and to analyze consumers' attitudes and perceptions," says Professor B J. Dunlap. "This exercise also blends theory with practical experience without spending corporate money," she added. "The original event was scheduled to be on the UC lawn but due to the adverse weather conditions, we were forced to move under the entrance facing the clock tower," said Chris Ray le, a class member. Another member of the class.Tracy Hartman, was pleased with the turnout but said, "It would have been better had it not been raining." Both Dave Parker and Regina Moore commented on the valuable experience they gained This participant in the recent taste test held on the U.C. lawn is seen here grading the various hot dog samples offered. Other items for testing included pizza, lemonade, pickles, picante sauce, jello, and doughnuts.

Ben Johnson and his group compared three different brands of cherry jello and asked participants questions on taste, frequency of consumption, and texture. Both Jell-o Brand and Laura Lynn were popular in the jello competition. However, the results weren't so close in the pizza competition. Papa's Pizza To Go was judged to be the overall best with Pizza Hut second and Meatballs third. Pizza Hut's pizza had too little cheese and sauce and participants com mented that Meatballs was too greasy. The pizza was kindly donated by these retailers and the group sincerely thanks them for their cooperation. Jay Giles, a member of the group serving pizza, said all the crusts and toppings were fairly comparable. Keith Corbeil, a graduate assistant, was videotaping the proceedings and noting the positive and negative aspects of each survey. "Our group had doughnuts from Dunkin' Doughnuts, Krispy Kreme and Catn;ps. We checked for moist- ness, chewiness and freshness," said Brian Decker. Catnips (located near the Townhouse Restaurant in Cullowhee) was the leader with Dunkin' Doughnuts as second and Krispy Kreme at third. BJ. Dunlap said the results will be shared with the retailers and manufacturers. Melissa Worley of the pizza- testing group said their group will submit one report to each donor and one report to Dr. Dunlap.
