  • Page 8 Features February 3,1994 Western Carolinian If X doesn't mark the spot, then what does? "Generation X" is getting a bad name from all sides except our own Joseph Shiver Staff Reporter The 'Twenty-Something" generation remembers where we were when the Challenger exploded, when the Persian Gulf War was fought, when the Rodney King trial verdict was announced and when the Cold War and Communism came to a close. We have also been highly educated about the AIDS epidemic. With all of these very significant, if not all pleasant, events having occurred during this generation's life time, why then are we referred to as the very generic, very bland, very nondescript "Generation X"? *:::*x::::*:*:::;:;::: :-:-:-:-:::-:-:-:::-:-:::-:-:::::::^ M0 $t*M Jamie Baize StaffReporter Whatyear are you at Western? Where's your hometown, and whafs your major? I'm a senior, graduating in May. I'm from Wilkesboro,NC,andI'ma theater major. What plays have you been involved in since attending WCU? What about before college? Well, this is my third year at Western, and since I've been here I've had parts in Hamlet, Rumors, Streetcar Named Desire, Fiddler on the Roof, The Importance of Being Ernest, Fool for Love and Woyzeck. When I was at Wilkes Community College I was very active. I don't think I could name them all, but some were Dracula, Little Shop of Horrors, Death of a Salesman, Chorus Line and Look Homeward Angel. Do students and faculty often recognize you as the characters you've played in shows? Yes, but probably notas much as you would expect with 7500 students. Although just the other day someone came up to me and asked me if I'd cut my hair. It/s been a long time since I cut my hair! It's really quite a shame that more students don't come to the shows. Plans for the future? Immediate plans are to be in the production of Ghost later this semester and to finish my thesis. Looking ahead, I'd like to attend voice-actor school and definitely do some filmmaking. In an interview conducted by Change magazine (Sept.- Oct. 1993), students in the Generation X category had an optimistic viewpointabout their future. This generation will have to contend with many of the same problems as preceding generations such as career searches, finding the perfect spouse and searching for excitement. The key is how Generation Xers are going about the process of maturing. There seems to be a return in looking up to someone as a mentor or more strongly put, as a hero. Many young people who were bom between 1965 and 1975 are giving more time and effort to service activities and swelling church attendance, and the family values of the 40/s and 50s seem to be returning. There is also another side to the coin. The life events we have witnessed have made us wary. We have heard of the environmental problems to come, the large rate of unemployment and the pitfalls of relying on the importance of materialism in our lives. Music plays a large role in Generation X's profile. Each generation and its culture have been characterized by their music. This is nothing new. Perhaps the enormous popularity of MTV has contributed to the fact that this generation is surrounded by sound. Rap music is more than a diversion; it has been a way of communicating. Grunge is not only a musical type; it is also a fashion statement. Given the fact that this generation has taken a negative inheritance and molded it into a positive attitude about the future, should we really go down in history as the genetically monikered "Generation X" —or should we be given a nickname that brings a brighter future— that little Something X-tra! The Western Carolinian would love to hear your suggestions for a new name for Generation X! All "X-ers" are invited to participate. Baby Boomers and Yuppies are welcome, too. Send your suggestions to....The Western Carolinian, Old Student Union, Cullowhee, NC 28723.
