  • December 10, 1994 Western Carolinian s# News Moody Receives WCU's Co-op of the Year Award AndyCapone Contributing Writer The battle is over. Charles Moody has been chosen as the winner of the 1994-95 Crisp-Hughes WCU Coop of the Year Award, which is regarded as one of the highest honors at WCU. Moody, who is from Franklin, is pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Electronic Engineering and Technology, and a minor in Mathematics. Moody's Co-op was completed at Karpen Steel Products, located in Woodfin, NC. Most of Moody's time was spent on upgrading a hinge gauging system to aid in the precision and accuracy with manufacturing door frames. The end result: Karpen Steel was spellbound with Moody's work. Moody's supervisor, Ms. Rachel Smith, stated, "Moody had far ex ceeded our expectations." "It was a step-by-step process, where each employee working on the project came together and molded into a team," says Moody of his teaming experience while working on the job. The experience he gained while working at Karpen Steel was more than one could expect to learn in the class room. Moody has also been nominated for the National Co-op of the Year Award, which features a $1000 cash award, which will be presented at a national conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, sometime in February, 1995. Moody will officially be recognized for the WCU Co-op of the Year Award at the College of Arts and Science's Awards Banquet, which will be held in the spring. Moody will receive a check for $300 and a personalized plaque. Moody's name will soon be engraved on a plaque in the CAP Center. WCU Becomes Base For Honors Students Natasha Teasley Staff Reporter . Starting January 20, WCU will serve as a base for sixteen honors students from universities around the country. The students will be part of the 1995 honors semester, which is sponsored by WCU and the National Collegiate Honors Council. The series is worth a total of sixteen credit hours, but very little of that time is spent in a classroom. The idea of the semester is to incorporate the Southern Appalachia region with university professors and area residents as teachers. Beginning with a week of orientation, the students will move on to get a larger view of the area with visits to resource centers around the Appalachians. Then for the next two weeks, the students will study the Cherokee Indian communities. The students will then explore select mountain communities, to gain a greater understanding of the community itself. Then they will be paired with Appalachian families for two weeks. The purpose of this will be to study the daily life, beliefs, joys, and sorrows of the residents of this area. Before departing on May 4, the students will present what they have learned at a two-day symposium. Professor Takes Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea Colleen Vasconcellos Associate Editor Frederick Harrison, a member of WCU's Department of Biology, recently returned to campus after a scientific expedition from October 3- 12, which took him 2,000 feet deep into the Gulf of Mexico, where he explored the ocean floor. While exploring the Gulf, Harrison found a previously unencountered species of sponge, which lives attached to tube worms that inhabit a particular underwater ecosystem where raw and methane gas escape from the ocean floor Harrison, who is internationally known within the scientific community for his expertise, became involved in this October expedition after scientists on a previous dive noticed the sponges. "The sponges were there all along, but people just missed them because they were so focused on their own projects," Harrison said. Harrison, along with other scientists from seven other institutions, shared time inside a four-man submarine, which was launched 120 miles out to sea from a ship of the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. The submarine had only room for a pilot, a technician, and two scientists for each dive. "I was able to make two dives," Harrison said. "We were trying to get a feel for how extensive the sponges were, what role they played in this community, were they connected to any type of worm, basically just what the hell was going on down there." Analysis of Harrison's samples revealed that the tissue of the sponges was filled with a little-known type of bacteria apparently able to metabolize the methane gas present in their environment, in turn providing nutrition for the sponges. "This looked like a really rare situation," Harrison said, "which warranted me having a place on the cruise." So, what the hell was going on down there? "Most of it is dull, and there's little color, like the bottom of a drained lake," Harrison said. "But, wherever you have the organic seeps, you find these tremendous clusters of exotic life, like an oasis. There are bushes of tube worms with sponges growing all over them. There are tiny little crabs with large arms and pincers. And every animal down there is undescribed. The sponges don't even have a species name. It's all new." This exploration is part of a larger, on going operation, involving scientists from around the nation funded by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Undersea Research Council and the National Science Foundation.
