September 23,1993 Volume 59 Issue 5 Cullowhee, NC Western Carolinian The Voice of The Catamounts 1993-94 Nomad welcomes students' literary works Hayley Nicholas StaffReporter Even our own university has some well-kept secrets lurking about. Perhaps one of its oldest secrets is the WCU students' art and literature magazine, Nomad, a showcase of creative talents. With a history dating back to 1957, Nomad has been around long enough to be an institution. It's a wonder more people are not aware of its existence and activities. Ginny Bertrand, editor-in-chief of the Nomad this year, plans to make the magazine's existence more known. The staff ranks have already swelled to over twenty, the most energy the Nomad has had behind it in years. Kaye Byer, award-winning local poet, faculty member and Nomad's advisor, kicked off the first of the magazine's '93- '94 activities on September 21. She an nounced, at the poetry reading given by Li-Young Lee, the opening of Nomad's submission period for literature which will extend through November 22.. Submissions include, but are not limited to, poetry, short fiction, essays, commentary and short plays. Anyone can submit work to the Nomad—students, faculty, staff and members of the community. Previous publication does not disqualify the writer or the work. The only factor that could possibly disqualify a piece of work from consideration is if it is submitted in only one copy. Due to budget limitations, the Nomad is requiring that all submissions be submitted in duplicate. Two copies are a necessary part of the selection process. Jurying of the work is a double-blind process. The author's name is removed from the work before it is read by Nomad staff members. The works are rated on a scale from one to ten. These ratings are then averaged, and the pieces with the Mountain Heritage Day seen from a bird's eye view. The annual event draws a crowd of over 35,000 people.* See special pull-out section in this issue for more details. highest scores are published. These works are then reviewed by nationally-known authors who award merit prizes. For the '92-'93 Nomad, Paul Zimmer judged the poetry selections, and Doris Betts judged the fiction. Submissions should be brought by the Nomad office located in room 108 of the Music/English building. The Nomad staff meets every Thursday evening at 5pm in room 103 of the M /E building. All those interested in helping with any aspect of the Nomad are encouraged to attend. The Nomad staff will also be running a booth at Mountain Heritage Day this Saturday. They will be selling apple cider and baked goodies. So the secret's out. Nomad is an outlet for creative processes and a creative process in itself. Don't wait until November to submit your creations. Wellness Program begins, sets goals CHRISTINE TREFETHEN (photo by ASB) Kelly Donaldson StaffReporter Western Carolina University has just opened up a new Wellness Program with Cristine Trefethen as the coordinator. Trefethen currently works out of the infirmary promotingand educating about good health practices. The Wellness Program is all about setting up goals, values and healthy lifestyles. The job of the coordinator consists of planning activities and setting goals for the entire campus. Trefethen hopes to form an advisory committee consisting of representatives from the Housing Department, the University Center, LMP, GAMMA, students, employees and faculty. AIDS awareness and alcohol education are two areas Trefethen plans to address immediately. "There are seven ar- Rogers takes closer look at artifacts Lisa Ash Staff Reporter Native American artifacts excavated over 60 years ago from a burial mound in Cherokee County are currently being reexamined by Western Carolina University archaeologist, Anne Rogers. Rogers, an associate professor ofgeo- sciences and anthropology, received an $8,000 grant from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington where these relics have been stored. The artifacts, filling 15 boxes, were discovered at the Peachtree burial mound near Murphy in 1933-4 and have not left the Smithsonian premises until now. Rogers is delighted that Smithsonian gave her the opportunity to re-examine these artifacts and hopes to discover more cultural history of the Cherokee Indians and western North Carolina. Ceramic pots, stone tools, arrowheads, shell artifacts, ceramic and stone pipes, bracelets, earrings and beads, and historic metal tools (such as scissors) are justa few of the relics being re-examined. Many of these items were traded goods, and the favorite of the Indians was the glass beads. These studies also may reveal new pieces to a long-standing archaeological puzzle: the route taken by Spanish explorer Hemado de Soto through North Carolina in the 1500's. A 1939 study by the U.S. de Soto Expedition Commission concluded that de Soto and his army of 600 passed through the southwestern corner of North Carolina. Some 50 years after See 'Artifacts' pg 3 eas of concentration we try to focus on— spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, environmental, vocational and humor and health," she said. The program is not just for students. Trefethen said, "Fifty percent of my time will be devoted to employees as well." A good diet, exercise program and stress management are essential. The Wellness Program also hopes to work closely with the Greek system, educating pledges as well as members on alcohol and other health matters. Trefethen says she plans on hiring one intern to help her throughout this year. The campus can expect a survey that will better help the Wellness Program pinpoint areas of need and interest. Trefethen has an undergraduate degree from UNC-Wilmington in psychology and a masters degree in wellness management from Ball State University. The new Wellness Coordinator is currently located on the second floor of the infirmary but will soon be moving to an SGA office in the UC. Trefethen's hours will be from 8a.m. to 5 p.m.. J
