in.an Prominent Poet and Editor Visits WCU by Dr. Mary Adams Director Visiting Writers Series On Monday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m., R.T. Smith will read from his poetry at Western Carolina University's Founder's Auditorium. The reading, which is open and free to the public, will be followed by a book- signing and reception. Smith will also speak to writing and editing students in a drop-in lunch on Monday, March 1, at 12:30 p.m. in Coulter 419. R j0 d Smith is the author of several books of poetry, including The Cardinal Heart, Birch- Light, and Trespasser; he has also written a book of stories entitled Faith and co- edited Due South with Nadya Belins. He has also written several chap- books, and his work has appeared many journals and in such anthologies as Literature of the American South (Norton, 1997), Appalachia Inside Out RT Smith A single syllable held unsung for centuries in such bliss as this bitter honey might still level a holy city or bring a pilgrim, as he tries (Tennessee, 1995), and Imagining Worlds (McGraw-Hill 1994), to name only a few. Smith has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the North Carolina Arts Council, the Alabama Council on the Arts, and Arts International, and in 1988 he received the Alabama Governor's Award for Achievement by an Artist. His many poetry awards nclude the Emily Dickinson Poetry Prize and the John Masefield Award for Narrative Poetry. He was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1986 and again in 1996. Rodney Jones has said, "R.T. Smith writes with a singular beauty of phrase and admits the heart's chaos without sacrificing accuracy, for his allegiance is to time and place, his references to nature and history." Smith is a long-time resident of this region and a major Appalachian voice. Raised in North Carolina and Georgia, he was educated at Georgia Tech, the University of North Carolina, and Appalachian State University, where he founded Cold Mountain Review. He served for nineteen years on the faculty of Auburn University and now edits the prestigious literary journal Shenandoah for Washington and Lee University.

Happy New Year, Western Carolina by Jeff Sykes Staff Writer Fot§r gener|tipns of people gathered in a clamomi|roorn that was brightly deco- rated^wlf^iolf^ftnsel and pink and blue crepfS paper to celebrate a holiday as old as hiltiiy itself. The Chinese New Year, also known aslSpring Festival, is technically February 16 (the start of spring in China), but that did not stop a group of over 30 people from gettingjt^ead^Jgrt at The Golden China RestauAu^rJjSj^a on Friday night. Nearly 5000 yeaf?^o7|s™tIie^uddha prepared to leave the earth, pe summoned all the animals of the world before him. As legend has it, only 12 showed up and he rewarded them with a place in the zodia Each year is represented by one of the 1 animals and this year is the Year of jj Rabbit. To the Chinese, New Year is n one day of celebration but almost an entirj week of festivities. "It is a most exciting few days," said Dr. Jin Lin Zhao, coordinator of Western's tent Program. "A four :d to a weekend where home. The celebration reunion." Zhao is from :o America in 1987, first to Pennsylvania and then to Virginia where he received his Ph.D. at Virginia Tech. He has been in Cullowhee since 1092 and occasionally hosted the celebifciori^It has been held at The Golden^wAfei6"^ last four years. Chen De Tong, owner offThe Golden China, is greatly appreciated among the dozen Chinese students here at Western. He not only hosts the New Year celebration, but also gives birthday and graduation parties for students. "We get veTy" homesick, so Chinese students appreciate Mr. Chen very much," said Ning Pan, an MBA student from Beijing, as she was busy making dumplings for the feast to come. The dumplings, one of many symbolic foods for Spring Festival, are for a good wish. Others include prawns for luck and happiness, dried oysters for good things, and raw fish for prosperity. Dr. Zhao brought nian gau, an excellent sweet rice cake, for those in attendance. "I'm bring ing them so people will grow with knowledge and to wish them well in the new year," he said. Yuping Liu, a graduate student in Dr. Zhao's program, explained how the Spring Festival is celebrated in China. "Children are the happiest groups," she said. "They have no homework, get new clothes and lucky money from relatives." Since people tend to go home, she explained how crowded the trains are during the Spring Festival. "Since there is lots of urbanization in China, people from the cities go back to the country and the trains are very crowded." There is a specific word in Chinese, chun yun, that stands for spring festival transportation. It is derived from the words meaning spring, and yun, to, move nsport. Speaking of transportation, husband, Yuan Yong Song, flew way from Beijing to be with her for estival. "Because of Spring Festival he had a long vacation, so he flew here," she said. The thirty hour flight was nothing for Song. "I missed her very much and it did not matter hgjsJetw«way she was," he said. Now tyt'sia Valentine's Day present. In China it is house thoroug |1 to clean your iapprf new coats of paint to doors and windows before Spring Festival begins. Scripts, called duilian, with themes like happiness, wealth, and health are then hung on the door frames. "If something wants to bring you bad luck, it will stay away because of the script," said Yuping Liu. "Today people use it to show happiness or to celebrate a good harvest." Midnight fireworks also serve to scare ff all the old spirits from the last year, al- Wingoeople to start fresh in the Year of Rabbit.
