  • ^Carolinian English and History Departments Sponsor Great Britain Trip "Stonehenge is a must-see", says Nicholas. The English and History Departments are combining forces to sponsor a two-month study/travel program to England and Scotland this coming summer, from June 4 through July 30. "The arrangements have all been made," says English professor Karl Nicholas. "The only thing we need now is some students to go with us." The program, which offers three hours of credit in British literature and another three in British history, has room for 26 students. "That's two van-loads," explains Cliff Lovin, the History Department representative. "We do most of our traveling in Ford minibuses," Lovin continues. "In the past students have called themselves 'Road Scholars' because we traveled so much." And travel they will—from the University of Surrey in the south to the University of Stirling in Scotland, with stopovers in between at the University of Warwick and York University. The length of stay at each location is two weeks. "That gives us plenty of time at each place to check out all the spots of literary or historical significance," Nicholas points out. "We believe that learning is more meaningful when it's done where the events actually occurred." True to this principle, the travelers will attend Shakespeare plays at the newly reconstructed Globe Theater in London—just 200 yards from the spot where Shakespeare's original Globe was built. They will see another of Shakespeare's plays at his home town of Stratford-on-Avon, performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company. "And we'll visit battlefields aplenty," says Lovin, "ranging from Hasting on the south coast, where the Normans made their landing in 1066, all the way to Bannockburn, where Robert the Bruce defeated King Edward in 1314, and Culloden, where Bonnie Prince Charlie got his come-uppance. "There will be lots of other landmarks, as well," Nicholas adds. "Stonehenge is a must-see, and so are Canterbury Cathedral and York Minster. We'll visit the moors of Haworth, where the Bronte sisters grew up, and the Lake Country of Cumbria, where Wordsworth and Coleridge lived and wrote." Students will stay in private rooms at University residence halls. "We can get very reasonably priced accommodations in what the British call 'self-catering flats,'" says Nicholas. "That means we have access to a kitchen, where we can cook our meals; that keeps costs down." "And it's in the kitchens where we do most of our lecturing," adds Lovin. "We don't lecture a great deal, actually. Most it amounts to getting people prepared for what they will see that day and how it ties in to what they've been reading." The cost for participating in the eight-week program is $3000 per student. That covers round-trip air fare from Charlotte, lodging at the four university sites, van travel while in Great Britain, and a grit-rail pass entitling each student to 15 days of travel. It also includes membership in the National Trust and the English Heritage Trust (which afford free visits to many historical sites), guided tours of London, York, and Edinburgh, two Shakespeare plays, as well as the six hours of college credit. Students interested in making the trip should call Nicholas at 227-7264 or Lovin at 227-7243. Deadline for applications is January 9, 1998. Financial assistance is available through the WCU Financial Aid Office, 234 HFR Admin, phone 227-7290. Ifeatures December 4, 1997 Attention: Allied Health and Nursing Majors For the first time allied health and nursing majors will be combined this year for the Allied Health and Nurses' Career Day. In the tradition of Career Days sponsored by Western Carolina University, juniors, seniors, and graduate level students will have the opportunity to talk with health recruiters about internships, extemships, co-ops, and other future employment. This special event is sponsored by the Career Services Center. Career Day encourages students to ask questions of various companies concerning their major and allows recruiters to offer information on health-related fields. This is the first year that the allied health and nursing majors have been combined for a Career Day in Cullowhee. Career Services hopes that this will be a convenient location as well as a successful event for the students and the recruiters.

Kwanzaa Celebration Set For December 4 OPI Western Carolina University will continue a recent addition to its list of holiday events as the Office of Minority Student Affairs sponsors its second annual Kwanzaa celebration on Thursday, December 4. Kwanzaa is a distinctly African-American holiday reflecting the dual character of the identity and heritage of African-Americans, said Brian Bridges, director of minority student affairs at WCU. Portraits of Color, Inc. of Charlotte will provide the entertainment and educational portion of the program. The group, which has conducted Kwanzaa celebrations throughout North Carolina, provides cultural arts workshops designed for after-school enrichment programs, cultural development organizations and community outreach efforts. The term "kwanzaa" is a derivative of the Swahili word "kwanza," which means "first," and is part ofthe phrase "matunda ya kwanza," or "first fruits," Bridges said. "The collective values, spirit and practices which make up Kwanzaa have historical and cultural roots in Africa," he said. ** "The traditional celebration of Kwanzaa takes place between December 26 and January 1, for economic, political and educational reasons." The celebration is built around the seven principles of umoja (unity), kujichagulia (self-determination), ujima (collective work and responsibility), ujaama (cooperative economics), nia (purpose), kuumba (creativity) and imani (faith). The celebration begins at 7:30 p.m. in Hoey Auditorium and is open to the public free of charge. For more information, contact Bridges at (704) 227-7234.
