ZTA informs of breast exam procedures Every 11 minutes, a woman dies of breast cancer. This tragic disease is the leading killer of women aged 35 to 54. In justsixyears,30 percent of all women will be in this age group, and the disease still has no cure. Early detection through mammography or breast self-examination is the best hope of survival at this time. As part of Zeta Tau Alpha's national April Fool's Day project, Don't Be A Fool, Do Breast Self-Examinations, the Zeta Iota Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha is reaching out to the community in an effort to raise breast cancer awareness and give Western Carolina's women a tool to complete monthly self- examinations. Chapter members will offer free waterproof cards that illustrate how to complete a breast self-examination. The card can be prominently displayed in the shower. Cards will be available on Wednesday, March 30, from 11 to 230 and 450 to 6 at Brown and Dodson Cafeterias. WCU's Zeta Iota Chapter joins Zeta Tau Alpha organizations across thecountry for the Don't Be A Fool, Do Breast Self-Exami- See "Breast," page 4 Sunday afternoon provides culture, comfort Lamas perform sacred music, dance The Cullowhee Arts Festival will take an international twistSunday, March 27, as ten lamas from the Drepung Loseling Monastery of Tibet perform an evening of sacred music and dance at WCU. The performance willbeginat7:30pm in the recital halloftheMusic-EnglishBuilding and will be free of charge. Founded in 1416, the Drepung Loseling Monastery was the largest monastic institution in history, housing at the end of the last century more than 10,000 monks, who recieved training in philosophy, spiritual teachings and various sacred performing arts. The lamas became particularly renowned for their multiphonic singing in which each monk simultaneously intones three notes of a chord. The monastery was closed in 1959, shortly after China's communist government invaded Tibet, and all but 216 of its monks were either killed or imprisoned in concentrationcamps. Those who escaped fled to India, where they established a replica of their institution in a refugee camp.The monastery has grown toapopu- lation of approximately 1,500 monks. See "Monks," page 4 Horton presents program on quilt making Quilt researcher and folklorist Laurel Horton will present "Quilts: The Irish Connection," a program on the quilt- making heritage of Ireland, in Founders Auditorium of Western Carolina University's Mountain Heritage Center on Sunday, March 27. The program, sponsored by the Mountain Heritage Center and the Smoky Mountain Fiber Guild, will begin at 2 pm. It is open to the public free of charge. "Laurel's presentation will introduce the audience to historic quilts and the works of contemporary quilt-makers, along with the faces and places she encountered during her 1991 research travels," said Suzanne McDowell, curator of the Mountain Heritage Center museum. "Audience members will see the work of quilt-makers from both the Republic of Ireland and North- em Ireland in this fascinating look at the quilt culture of another country." Since 1975, Horton has researched the influence of geography, history and culture on quilt-making traditions. She has published numerous articles on quilt-making in scholarly and popular publications, and she See "Quilts," page 3
