  • 7 Thursday, September 12 "96 Campus Life (&\z Wz&tzxn Carolinian Theater Comes Alive at WCU MICHELLE PARPARIAN STAFF WRITER The theater is alive on the campus of WCU. Two organizations are making a statement this semester: Black Theater Ensemble and the University Players. The Black Theater Ensemble (BTE) is a group of students whose primary purpose is expressing the African- American experience through performance and celebration of the culture. The organization which is advised by Al Wiggins, assistant professor of communications, is open to all WCU students. "The BTE performs before schools, churches, community centers, and wherever an audience is present," says Wiggins. BTE and the University Players are presently planning the production of "Fences," a Broadway play written by August Wilson, to be performed at on November 19-23, in Hoey Auditorium. Wilson, a winner of theTony-Award and two Pulitzer Prizes, is a distinguished member of the African- American community. Frank Rizzo of The Courier-Journal comments, "His plays depict decade-by-decade life of blacks in the 20th century." The auditions will be held on October 9 and 10 at Hoey or Niggli Theater, with direction from Steven Ayers of the theater department. BET is planning many exciting events for the coming academic year. The ensemble will perform at the Duvalle Education Center in Louisville, Ky., produce a sitcom to be aired on the cable network, and have received invitations to perform for the community of Hoke County, N.C. The organization meets on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. in 116 Stillwell. CallAl Wiggins (7491) for more information. Another theater organization on campus are the University Players. This organization, advised by Susan Brown- Strauss, is a group of students focused on the theatrical world. The cast of the '96-97 University Players Presently, UP is very busy getting things together for its presentation of "1776." "1776 " received a 1969 Tony Award and was awarded Best Musical Play. "This is a musical adaptation of the founding fathers sign ing the Declaration of Independence; it deals with conflicts and debates with the declaration," says Scotty Corbin, president of University Players. The musical will be performed in Hoey Tl .eater on Sep- PHOTO SETH SAMS/WC tember 24-28 at 7:30 p.m. and on September 29 at 2 p.m. Tickets are now on sale at the theater office for $5 dollars and will also be sold at the Hoey Box Office the day of the show. "The University Players" primary purpose is to encourage trying out for shows, involvement in WCU productions, and in other productions," says Brown-Strauss. The organization goes beyond Western to attend theater- related conferences. "We are the production army of the department," says Corbin. The UP welcomes any Western student who would be willing to attend regular meetings, work forlO hours, and participate in three or four strikes (disassembly of show) to join. These events are very important to the University Players. Meetings are usually posted on their board near the Communications Department or call Susan Brown-Strauss (7491) for more information. Behind the Scenes of University Advancement ANGELA SPRINKLE CONTRIBUTING WRITER I f you have ever wondered who plays the main role in the Catamount Club, the new physical therapy program, or the Family Night that came to your hometown, it was the University Advancement Program. This program helps to raise money to get Western noticed around our homestate. The Catamount Club helps to raise money for the athletic program. The Catamount Club offers its members gifts for their financial contributions. Beside of helping the University, Catamount Club members are able to park in the reserved parking lot for athletic events, attend the patron's event and the Stadium Club, depending on the amount of money given. The Physical Therapy Program was recently brought to WCU. The University Advancement Office helped bring together fundraisers in order to raise enough money in order for the program to be established. This program offers the students a chance to earn a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy without even leaving WCU. If you recall an event before coming to Western, where there was a gathering in order for the perspective students and parents to meet WCU faculty members, administrators, alumni, and students that was Family Night. This program also gave students and parents the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the university. The University Advancement Office helps to bring this group together to attract and recruit perspective students. Get Involved with SGA SGA Senator applications are available at the SGA Offices in Camp Lab. Applications must be turned in by Monday, September 16 at 5 p.m. For guidelines and more information contact the SGA Office (7299).

SHEPPARD CAMPUS LIFE EDITOR A group of WCU students are trying to revive the University's Native American Club, which has not been active since 1988. The students have reorganized and hope to be recognized by SGA as an official organization. The Native American Club wants to make WCU aware of Native American culture and educate students on the differents groups of Native Americans. One proposed way of doing this is to organize a pow-wow with the Cherokee and Lumbee tribes. The club also wants to offer assistance to Native American students through scholarships. The officers of the organization are: Denise Blue, president; Jenny Trivette, vice president; Nicole Ray, secretary; and Eric Hunt, treasurer. The Native American Club plans to have its first official meeting on Wednesday, September 18, in Camp Lab room 164/ 50 at S p.m. Anyone who is interested in joining the club is invited to attend. Trivette said, "You don't have to be Native American to join; you just have to have an interest in Native American culture." For more information, contact Trivette at 6874.
