  • western ■• « arolinian Admissions Makes Recruiting WESTERN CAROLINA Process More Personable COMMUNITY CHORUS TO by Patrick Blankenship Graduating high school seniors who are considering college are faced with making many important decisions that will have a direct affect their future. One of the major decisions is what college to attend. The WCU Admissions Office has decided to help make that decision a little less of a burden. In order to achieve this goal, the Admissions Office has employed several students to act as telemarketers for the University. The students will be calling prospective seniors to invite them to special events like Open House or to just talk and answer any questions that may arise. This contact with the students should make them feel more at ease with the university. The students feel as if they have a friend at Western once they have talked and shared conversations with WCU telemarketers. 'Telemarketing is an excellent way to advertise the university. You have a captive audience that just needs a little convincing," said Patrick Blankenship who is a supervisor for the telemarketing team. "It also shows them that Western cares about them." Doyle Bickers, director of Admissions, believes that telemarketing is an excellent recruiting tool for the university. Many of the students who are researching colleges and universities don't realize all that Western has to offer. This telemarketing campaign will give the students a chance to ask questions in a non-judgemental setting of someone who knows the school. Students will be encouraged to ask any questions that they might have about the university, and the telemarketers will answer them from a student's perspective. This is not a perspective that is often offered by colleges and universities. You normally get the admissions counselors' perspective on the school, and that tends to be viewed as tainted information. The telemarketing team has secured office space on the ground floor of Graham Infirmary. The Admissions Office has total of 12 telephone lines allocated and installed throughout the building to ensure that as many students as possible can be reached per night. The telemarketing team anticipates working five nights per week between the hours of 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. This should allow them to reach a minimum of 150 students per night. The team of callers will be supervised by two full-time/temporary staff members from the university. These supervisors will report to Larry Hammer and Doyle Bicker of the Admissions Office. The supervisors will be responsible for collecting and formulating data to ensure all of the students' requests are met and that all employees are managed efficiently. The Communication and Theatre Arts Department is also sponsoring a phone-a-thon to raise money, which will begin at the same time as the Admissions Office will begin making calls. However, they do not expect any complications or crossover because of the nature of the calls. The Admissions Office will be calling prospective students, whereas the CTA Department will be calling alumni.

Organized in 1970, the Western Carolina Community Chorus is the oldest community chorus in Western North Carolina. The group draws its membership from the far western counties of the state and performs regularly in various communities of the region. It is sponsored by Western Carolina University and the Jackson County Arts Council. UNIVERSITY CENTER GETS POSTAGE MACHINE -OPI The U.S. Postal Service has installed a postal commodity machine and a mail deposit box in Western Carolina University's A.K. Hinds University Center and has closed the postal annex in McKee Building. The postal machine is accessible whenever the University Center is open. Mail will be picked up from the mail deposit box at 2 p.m. every day except Sundays and holidays. Postal items available from the machine include stamps, post cards, priority mail stamps, mail packets, envelopes in varying quantities and sizes, and express mail. The machine accepts coins and bills from $ l to $20. Services such as money orders and return receipt mailings will be available at the Cullowhee Post Office, which is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. Packages that exceed 16 ounces and packages for overseas mailing should be taken to the Cullowhee Post Office.
