Watson will perform in concert Thursday, January 27, in WCU's Ramsey Regional Activity Center to open the 1994 segment of the 1993-94 Lectures, Concerts and Exhibitions Series. Show time is 8pm. The WCU performance is a rare oppor tunity to see and hear the 70-year-old musician, who has greatly curtailed his concert schedule in recent years, said Bill Haggard, dean for student development and LCE program coordinator. Born Arthel Watson in the Blue Ridge ' Mountain hamlet of Deep Gap, Watson has recorded more than 35 albums and won four Grammy Awards since his "discovery" in 1960, when he was playing electric guitar in a local country swing band. Struckblind in his infancy, Watson grew up listening to old-time ballads sung by his mother and grandmother as they worked around the house. Watson's father led a singing group at the local church, and the whole family gathered each night for Bible study and hymn singing. In addition to traditional mountain ballads and old-time gospel music, Watson also listened to the Grand Ole Opry and other country music programs on the family radio, and, later, on a wind-up gramophone. Those varied sources of musical ed u- c'ation have furnished Watson with a repertory ranging from 16th-century ballads to contemporary blues tunes. "To attend a Doc Watson concert is to experience musical history," says Bill C. Malone, Tulane University history professor, writing for The Smithsonian Collection. "No country musician has greater versatility than Watson, and none has a See "Watson," pg3 gets Western Carolina University's Divison of Continuing Education and Summer School is offering a wide variety of non-credit courses this spring designed to help improve individual personal health and wellness.

This WCU senior says that her nickname on the court is "Death Rowe," and the wildest thing she'd do for a million dollars was to "play all of our games in a big clown afro wig." (from Lady Cats media guide) Rush begins next week for the business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi. Although this fraternity has been at Western for over twenty years, some people still arenotsurewhatit'sabout. Alpha Kappa Psi was established to help students become better and more prepared business professionals. It gives experienceworkingasanorga- nization, breaking up into teams and committees and working toward a main goal as you would in a professional environment. Thebrofherhood schedules guestspeak- ers and organizes professional seminars, sometimes in conjunction with chapters at other colleges. The speakers and seminars try to cover a broad range of topics pertinent to the business world. AKPsi offers a 1 ifeti me membership and includes several Western staff and faculty. These members offer special services to brothers before and after graduation, such as help with resumes and job placement. Alpha Kappa Psi was founded by ten students at New York University in 1904. WCU's Theta Tau chapter began in 1969 and had 24 members last semster. During the course of last semester, members participated in several activities such as a pledge retreat, "Brotherhood Party" and the infamous Halloween party. Alpha Kappa Psi also adopted a Jackson County family for Thanksgivingand Christmas. Fund-raising events were a very successful bake sale and a donut sale. Alpha Kappa Psi initiated six new members for the fall semester. "Alpha Kappa Psi isn't just an organi- See "Alpha Kappa Psi," pg 3
