  • 7 Thursday, September 51996 Campus Life ullfje Uestrnt Carolinian IMP Exercises Leisure Power SETH SAMS STAFF WRITER Looking for a good time this weekend? Last Minute Productions (LMP) are the people to see. LMP is a campus organization whose main goal is to provide over 200 entertainment, cultural, and educational activities to the students and campus community. LMP is divided into seven different committees, each with its own chairperson and over 100 student volunteers. These committees organize concerts, movies, trips, comedians, outdoor activities and much more. The music committee organizes all of the concerts. Some of these turn out a profit; others actually lose money for the organization, such as last year's Allman Brother's Band and the OutKast and Kut Klose concerts. Bernie Grauer, president of LMP, stated that the intentions of these and other concerts is to at least break even of what the music committee paid for the show. Yet, because of a variety of tastes among the students, Grauer says it' s, "not always an easy job to do." The lost revenue will have a major impact on the mu sic committee this year. Grauer said, "The big losses on the Allman Brothers and OutKast and Kut Klose are a major disappointment." Grauer continued, "The possibility of a major concert is slim, but don't count out the chances." Bill Clarke, LMP advisor, says that the music committee has scheduled an outdoor reggae concert with Mystic Vibrations on Friday, September 13 on the University Center lawn; a blues band is in the works, and concerts for homecoming week are still under production. Neither Grauer nor Clarke would comment on LMP' s progress in scheduling the homecoming concerts. The outdoor activities committee has set up over 25 trips this year, varying from rock climbing to kayaking. Grauer says that outdoor activities will be a major focus for LMP this year, "We're trying to get students to stay on campus on the weekends. We also want to offer activities for students who live to far away to go home on the weekends or on breaks," Grauer said. The Laff Factor committee is bringing the comedy of Wendy Liebman to WCU. Liebman's acts have headlined for HBO, and now you can see her here in November, along PHOTO BY SETH SAM/WC PICTURED LEFT TO RIGHT: CARRIE GOBI! (PROMOTIONS ASSISTANT). BERNIE GRAUER [PRESIDENT). TIM FREEMAN (MUSIC CHAIR), ANDREA WALKER (FILM CHAIR), DIANA PARSON (ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT). JIM MCARTHUR (OUTDOOR COMMITTEE CHAIR) with other comedians for at least two comedy nights a month. The leisure committee plans all of the Asheville and Gatlinburg shopping trips. This year they have also planned a trip to Disney World and a Colorado ski trip this Christmas break, and they are still planning more, including a few spring break trips. The promotions committee is responsible for all the posters you'll see around campus announcing upcoming trips, along with the "Kaleidoscope," a complete guide to all that's happen ing through LMP. Grauer hopes that eventually the "Kaleidoscope" will become a complete student activities calendar that includes information on events sponsored by all organizations. Grauer encourages organizations to feature their events in the "Kaleidoscope." Some of the other activities you'll find include movies on the lawn and in the University Center, sponsored by the films committee. LMP is also working in conjunction with the Wellness Center to sponsor an AIDS Awareness Week during November 18-22. Another joint effort between the two organizations will send some students to the last unfolding of the AIDS Quilt in Washington, D.C. LMP, currently housed in Camp Lab during the UC renovations, is looking forward to the reopening of the University Center. The new UC is scheduled to open in early 'spring of '97 and LMP is planning a big Grand Opening. Grauer says that the new UC will offer LMP many benefits: "The facilities will be bigger and better, and when we have things like comedians we won't have to turn people away because of space." For more information on LMP activities, you can visit the LMP offices at the University Center, or pick up the most recent edition of the "Kaleidoscope." Grauer invites all those interested in working with LMP to attend the September 16 meeting at 9 p.m. in Scott Blue Lobby. Meet the Catamount Yearbook Editor HEATHER D. SHEPPARD CAMPUS LIFE EDITOR The Catamount Yearbook is rarely seen or talked about. Margie Koch, editor-in-chief, has worked for two years to change that. Koch is serving her second year as editor and is striving to build on the improvements made to the yearbook last year. Because of low yearbook sales and little student interest, the Catamount staff had to raise sales and interest to save the yearbook last year. The staff saved the book from extinction, but Koch wants more. "I increased the sales a little, but the sales were lower than my expectations. For a school with 7,000 students we only order 400 yearbooks." The yearbooks have almost sold out, with only 80 left. Koch attributes low sales to student apathy. "I think they still think of it as a high school thing. They can't say that money is the issue because the book is only $22 and people spend $22 on a lot of things." Koch does not doubt that she will increase yearbook sales again this year: "I'm a very determined person and I know that I can do it." Koch not only wanted to improve sales, she wanted to improve the content of the yearbook. "Before I became editor, I saw it as an all-Greek, all-white book. The book represents all of us, not part of us." In an effort to improve, Koch included more minorities and an Independent Life section. The Independent Life section was not well-received last year, so the staff plans to remove it. "I didn't get good vibes about it. There was more bad said about it than good, so I'm MARGIE KOCH. THE CATAMOUNT YEARBOOK EDITOR not going to do it again,"Koch stated. Koch accepts criticism of the Catamount but always retorts, "I'd love for someone to be in my shoes before they criticize my book. If I had more to work with I could do a better book, but I do the best I can with what I have.") The yearbook will feature a new section this year called Student Issues. The section will deal with topics such as gay/lesbian issues, crime, STDs, students with children, non-traditional students, roommate issues, and many others. Another special feature of this year' s Catamount will be individual pictures. Koch hopes that individual pictures will increase interest in the Catamount. A date has not yet been scheduled for student' s individual photos. Photos will be free for WCU students. Koch is excited about the new year, but is frustrated by a low budget and inadequate facilities. The Catamount applied for a budget increase for '95-'96, but their application was denied by SGA. "It's frustrating when you work so hard at something and you're dedicated to it and you have nothing to work with," Koch says. The Catamount staff, unlike many other yearbook staffs, does not design the cover. The yearbook budget only allows them to choose a standard cover offered by the yearbook company. "It's like choosing between the lesser of evils," Koch says. Koch says that her staff makes up for her low budget and makes her job worthwhile. "My stafffloes some amazing things. My assistant, Karen Koehler, is the most dedicated girl I've ever known." For more information on the Catamount Yearbook, contact any staff member at 227- 7440.
