Choir promotes culture, unity Melissa Reed Staff Reporter The WCU Inspirational Choir is an on-campus organization that promotes African-American culture through song. The group has approximately forty members and is not exclusive to African-Americans. According to Casandra Barnes, a member of the choir, "The purpose is to bring unity among the African-American students on campus." Barnes explained that church has alwaysbeenabigpartof mostnriembers'lives. Thechoirhelps remind students of their Sunday morning experiences from home. It also provides an outlet for the choir's members and allows other students and the public to hear their beautiful voices. The choir has been especially active recently in celebrating Black History month. Besides performing at the Martin Luther King candlelight vigil in Hoey Auditorium, the choir performed at JohnsonMemorialChuxch in Ashevillefor their Martin Luther King celebration service. Rehearsals arehddevetyWednesdayrughtfrom6-8pm on the third floor of the Music English building. Anyone interested in joining the choir is welcome to attend the rehearsals. Western meets Wall Street in recent article In the midst of the Tuesday front-page article in The Wall Street Journal featuring WCU Geology Professor James Reynolds, many emotions have been aroused onand around the WCU campus. The article centers on aspects of higher education and addresses how things have changed in academia over the years. The main points of the article were the new, fierce job competition, plummeting salaries, increasing teaching loads and the race for dwindling tenured positions that plague the once hallowed halls of higher education. It focuses on the drastic changes that have occurred inside the time span of a generation. Reynolds began teaching here last fall after being chosen from a field of ninety candidates for the job in Western's geology department. After falling prey to budget cuts at a Vermont college where he taught until several years ago, Reynolds began a job search that fielded more than 200 rejection letters. The Wall Street Journal also brings to light some rather unsavory opinions concerning WCU. It refers to WCU as an "unheralded school in the Appalachian foothills" with an "unsophisticated student body, outdated equipment and limited funding for research." Reynolds said that he never told The Wall Street Journal the students here were unsophisticated. But he also said, "I think it's true, and most people in the faculty will say it's true. I don't think that implies a negative connotation." "I am very happy here at WCU. I like the student body," said Reynolds. Reynolds defined unsophisticated by stating, "The students here are not in tune with whafs going on in the world. That's not just here, though." He also said if the faculty at Harvard University were asked a similar question, the reply would also be the same. A better word for the WCU students is average, Reynolds said. 'We are in the same boat everyone else is in." He added that the facts about the lack of equipment and inadequate salary were truths. When asked about the negative calls from alumni, he simply stated, "Well, tell alumni to give more money but don't put it on the football field." He went on to say that athletics are not bad, but the emphasis at WCU should be on academics. "I don't want to be relegated to back-water. I want to be first ranked in my field and stay here." This negative press has not been well-received among the Cullowhee community. Calls from as far away as Cleveland, Ohio, have come in expressing dissatisfaction with the article and support for Western. Unofficial comments by some faculty, administrators, and students said the article was "unfortunate" and possibly damaging to WCU. Several stated they felt that WCU is an excellent institution, and the comparison in the article of WCU and Colgate College was unfair.
