February 29,1996 Western Carolinian News Education Majors Gain 'Real World1 Experience by Christy Hicks Staff Reporter "Concerned Helpers In Learning Development, or CHILD, is for anyone who is an elementary education major or is just interested in children," said Maureen Vincent, president. CHILD has been in existence for several semesters and generally caters to elementary education majors. The membership currently is between 20 and 25 members. "Although most of our members are education majors, we have had a few who just wanted to be involved with a child- oriented group," Vincent commented. CHILD is currently involved with several projects. One organization the group works with is Adults Working and Advocating Kids' Empowerment (AWAKE). AWAKE provides abused children with a non-threatening environment in which to tell their stories. "In the past, we've helped AWAKE do things like stuff envelopes," said Vincent. "Right now, we're recording the script of a play on audiotape for them." The members of CHILD are also working on building a collection of books they have recorded on tape. They plan to distribute these tapes to local classrooms. CHILD meetings give students the opportunity to discuss their problems and concerns with the elementary education program in general or their individual classes. The meetings also show prospective teachers, through guest speakers, a glimpse of what the outside world holds. Guest speakers, such as student or local teachers, are often invited to tell about their experiences in the schools. "It is good for us to hear what the student teachers are experiencing in the schools," said Vincent. "This way, we'll have a better idea of what we're going to be facing when we get there." CHILD'S most recent speaker was a representative from the Department of Social Services. The topic of that meeting was how to detect child abuse in the classroom. CHILD members also take field trips to local elementary schools to tour classrooms and ask questions of teachers. "The classroom visits are nice because we get to see what does and doesn't work, and why," said Vincent. CHILD meets every other Thursday at 5:00 p.m. in Killian, room 265. O'Malley's Brings a Little Irish to Sylva Are you ready to quit smoking? The Wellness Program is sponsoring a Smoking Cessation Program to help you quit smoking. This program will focus on a total behavior change to smoking cessation emphasizing stress management, nutrition, exercise, addiction breaking and relapse prevention. It will include 5 sessions to be held on March 4, 7, 11, 18 and 25 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in Forsyth 103. To register or for more information, contact the Wellness Program at 227-7018 by Michael Gates Crisp Contributing Writer O'Malley's, a traditional Irish pub ind grill, is scheduled to open during the bird or fourth week in March, depending m the speed of construction. It will be ocated on 1-23 (Business) just before the signal light at Highway 107, in the juilding that formely housed Searcy's Restaurant. The new restaurant will offer a /astly different atmosphere than that offered by other restaurants and bars in Sylva, says owner Greg Rienhart. The pub will be divided into three ooms: a bar, a dining area and the "Cat Zave." The "Cat Cave" will be painted gold ind purple and will include pool tables :overed in gold felt rather than the raditional green. There will also be dart joards and a juke box. The bar will seat over 20 customers ind will provide a wide selection of beer ind wine. Rienhart said that, along with jottled beer, he will keep 10 different jeers on tap at all times and include a /ariety of imports such as Beck's and juinness to add to the Irish pub atmosphere. The menu, however, will be primarily American. Ten to 12 television sets will be placed throughout the pub. They will be used to show various sporting events. "We will not really be in competition with other bars and restaurants in the area," said Rienhart. Bailey's, a popular nightclub only yards from O'Malley's back door, caters to the kind of crowd looking for live entertainment and a "party" atmosphere, he said, while restaurants like Meriweather's in downtown Sylva offer a more family type atmosphere. He said he hopes to make O'Malley's just a "nice, casual place to get a beer and enjoy yourself." Rienhart used to own the O'Malley's in Waynesville but sold it over a year ago to his sister and brother-in-law so that he coulc travel the country. He missed the area and running a place of his own so much that he decided to come back and start again. He chose Sylva because of the vast array of people here: locals, tourists, students, and faculty. He plans to cater to them all. He expects to do very well because of the constant movement of people through the area and the originality of O'Malley's when compared to other bars and restaurants already in the area. "I don't see why someone hasn't already done this here," he said. Hours will be 11 a.m. through either 12 a.m. or 1 a.m., depending upon the size of the crowd at that time. Rienhart plans to be open Monday through Saturday and possibly on Sundays if there is a sporting event scheduled. Celebrate Women's History Month at WCU by Rachel Sheppard Staff Reporter Western Carolina University's Women's Studies Program has planned several events in celebration of National Women's History Month during March 1996. According to Dr. Jo Ann Hickey, professor of sociology and head of the Women's Studies minor, this year's celebration is much more student-oriented than previous ones. The month begins with the second annual "Walk for Women." The walk is designed to give people the opportunity to show their support of Women's History Month. After the walk, the Lady Cats volleyball team will take on the IFC in a battle of the sexes volleyball match at the Theta Xi House on March 4, at 3 p.m. Last Minute Productions is sponsoring a night of women's comedy on March 5, at Brown Cafeteria at 9:00 p.m. Cost is $1 for students, and $3 for all others. LMP has also booked a performance by a second runner-up female contestant from the ESPN Extreme Challenge. Dr. Jo Ann Hickey and Dr. Marilyn Chamberlin from the department of Social Work and Sociology will lead a presentation on how women are portrayed in the media, entitled "Still Killing Us Softly." The presentation will be held on March 6, in McKee 150. On March 19, a panel of men will discuss how their experiences with women have changed their opinion of the opposite sex. The panel will be held in Forsyth Auditorium at 7:30. A presentation by the honorable Joyce Dugan will be held on March 20 at 7:30. This will be one of the events sponsored by the Mountain Heritage Center. The presentation will be held at 7:30, in Founders Auditorium. Dugan is the first female leader of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The Mountain Heritage Center will be sponsoring two other presentations. On March 25, Madison County native Lu Ann Jones will tell stories from her book Mama Learned Us to Work. The event will be held in the Founders Auditorium at 7:00. Storyteller/ musician Sheila Adams will present a concert entitled "Come Go With Me" on March 21. This event will also be held in Founders Auditorium at 7:00. Public relations students will present "Cracking the Glass Ceiling in PR," an examination of women's status in PR yesterday, today and tomorrow, on March 27 at 7:00. The presentation will be held in 116 Stillwell. Other events scheduled for Women's History Month will include a presentation by Eileen Dillard on March 7 at 7 p.m., entitled "They Also Served: Women in the RAF." The final event for Women's History Month will be a student/ faculty picnic sponsored by the League of Women Students at the WCU picnic grounds on March 31 at 5:30 p.m. The cost is $3 for students and $5 for all others.
