  • wfwF ^C? 5Bp t» W»P November 19,1997 Volume 62, Iff tie 15 aronnian western Carolina university's independent student voice Mystery Sign in Front of Campus Explained by Seth R. Sams As students drive into the main entrance of WCU, a huge white thermometer comes into view. But what is it and what is it for? The white gauge is actually a sign that shows the amount of money earned by the North Carolina State Employees Combined Campaign. The North Carolina State Employees Combined Campaign's donation deadline was November 14. Many students have noticed that the sign has no red paint, meaning it appears that no money has been earned. This is not the case. The funds simply have not been tallied yet. Funds will be tallied up until the end of the week, and the sum total on Monday of this week was already $10,000. By the end of the week, the giant thermometer should be showing some red. The campaign is held once a year and is part of the United Way; a portion of the funds donated go to a charity organization of the donor's choice out of the list of over 2,000. There are 32 different organizations in Jackson County that can receive money from this fund; only six of these can accept donations directly, but the rest can be reached by simply donating to the Jackson County Fund. In 1996, Western Carolina University raised a total of $29,765. "We're trying to raise a few dollars more [than last year]," said Barbara Ashe of the chancellor's office. "We hope to raise Some red finally makes its way up the thermometer, Nov. 18. $30,000 this year." The total sum raised by the North Carolina State Employee's Combined Campaign last year was $2,891,504.31.

Photo by T.K. Roberts. Communication Department Growing Fast by Emily Beitel The WCU Communication Department is experiencing rapid growth. The number of communication majors has increased by 43 students since the beginning of the fall semester. At present, there are 226 total students in the Communication and Theatre Arts department. One reason the department may be growing so fast is the fact that it now offers a new degree. The new B.S. in communication went into effect in fall '94. This includes different concentrations including Electronic Media, Print Media, Public Relations and Human Communication. Also included is a disciplinary focus area (DFA) in communication training and development for education majors. Prior to 1994, a B.A. in television and radio was offered. This major was eliminated and incorporated into the Communication Department as Electronic Media. At the same time, the Journalism program was moved from the English Department, becoming the Print Media concentration. A new Public Relations concentration was created, ant) the old Speech major became a Human Com munication concentration. The new degree emphasized basic communication competencies in a core of courses covering speaking, writing, editing, ethics, research and theory, and professional development. This also requires students to take more stringent courses, including courses in computers, statistics and business communication, a new requirement. When this degree was first introduced, only 63 students were in the major. That number has risen to 186 students in the past three years. Kathleen Wright, head of the Communication Department, says that because of this increase, three more professors are needed to teach general education and core communication classes. Wright says that she anticipated the increase in this area because it is so applicable in careers. One big advantage in this major is that an internship is required. This allows the student to get first-hand experience in his or her field and gives the student many options of career choices, says Wright. Wright feels that the growth in communication has not peaked yet.
