  • .news October 1, 1997 western ■• • arolmian Collings and Haggard Speak to Honors College Richard Collings. by Daniel Hooker The lobby of Reynolds Hall was filled with inquiring students last Monday night as two of Western Carolina's administrative bodies were grilled and drilled with questions and concerns by students. Brian Railsback, dean of the Honors College, was responsible for getting the elusive vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, Richard Collings, and the dean for Student Development, Bill Haggard, to speak to the honors students. "They're the people that would have the answers. 1 thought it'd be nice to have them here," remarked Railsback. He went on to note, "Also, part ofthe USI class requirement includes getting to know really important people [with the university]." Both gentlemen explained the essence of their jobs in their respective departments. Included with the job descriptions was the commitment to the enhancement and assisting the student's educational process. "I think that it's important for students to have contact with faculty and administrators that they wouldn't normally see. So, I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity," stated Haggard. The questions and concerns which the students posed to the duo of directors ranged from the usual Plus-Minus Grading scale and general education concerns to concerns about waste management and recycling. Other topics that arose were the available student activities and clubs and visitation policies for the dormitories. Both Collings and Haggard enjoyed the question and answer session. "I thought that they were very thoughtful. We heard some of the issues on the students' minds, and it's good for us to hear those. And, it's also good for the students to hear some response from someone with authority," commented Collings. In the end, Railsback commented on how difficult it was to get the two gentlemen to find time in their busy schedules to speak to groups. "I was lucky; I was able to get them both to come!" remarked Railsback. WCU Hang-Outs by Summer Rogers Although there are approximately 6700 students enrolled at Western, there is an obvious shortage of social hangouts for students. Unlike other many other colleges, WCU's mountain setting does not lend itself to the appearance of the bars, dance clubs, malls, etc., that keep people entertained. This is all leaving many WCU students wondering, where are all the students hanging out? After surveying many students both in person and on the Internet, these are the lists that seemed to include most student answers. During the week: 1. The gym. Surprisingly enough, WCU seems to have a student body that is fairly concerned with keeping fit. Reid Gym, which has been renovated recently, offers basketball courts, ping-pong tables, a swimming pool, volleyball courts, and the Fitness Center. The Center has free weights, Nautilus machines, stair climbers, rowing machines, and treadmills. The Center is open 6-8 a.m. and noon-11 p.m., although students must present a valid ID to use the equipment. 2. The U.C. Although this is referring mainly to Chick-fil-A, the U.C. also has a pool room and an outdoor rental facility. With a valid student ID, students are charged $ 1.75 an hour for pool games, ($2.20 for non-students). Rental equipment ranges from mountain bikes ($15) and canoes ($25) to tents ($5) and backpacks. The prices listed are for three-day periods. For more information call 3633. 3. On the Internet. There is an incredible amount of people online at WCU, in part because of the free Internet services available on campus. Students are e-mailing friends, scanning the World Wide Web, talking on chat lines, etc. One e-mail responder explained, "Being on the Web is the best place to hang out, because you can talk to people and get ideas from around the world, as opposed to sitting in my dorm room watching TV and wasting time." 4 . In the dorms. Despite the comment above, many people like hanging out in the dorms. Watching TV, talking with friends, and just bumming around seemed to be the most popular reasons for staying indoors during the week. "I live on a sorority hall, and I love just hanging out with the girls, especially on nights before I have early classes," says Jessica Meyers. "I'm a senior, and I usually have too much to do to go out during the week. After I finish studying, I just want to relax with friends." 5. Drinkin' with Lincoln on Monday nights. Obviously, not all students are too busy to party on weeknights. Bailey's in Sylva has a $5 cover and penny drafts every Monday, which is apparently drawing a good crowd. 6. College Night (Wednesdays) at Bailey's. Many of the same people drinking on Monday say that they are back on Wednesday for college night, with WWCU's own Dino and Waleed DJ. The cover is $3 for students and $4 for everyone else. As always, anyone over 18 is welcome, although only 21 and up may take advantage of the $ 1 drafts. 7. Thursday night at O'Malley's. On Thursdays O'Malley's has a live band, usually Steve Weams and the Caribbean Cowboys. It is free to get in, but everyone must be 21. On the weekends: 1. Fraternity houses. Hands down, the number-one response to this was clear— fraternities are dominating the weekends. Whether it's the parties at night or volleyball during the day, the houses are popular with guys and girls, Greeks and independents, although everyone seems to have their own preferences as to which house suits them best. 2. Home. A not-so-close second was going home to do laundry and visit family and friends. Several ofthe students surveyed are very interested in eating real home- cooked meals and seeing the boyfriend or girlfriend that is back home. 3. The movies. This answer was especially popular for "date places." The Quin Theatre in Sylva is currently playing "The Edge," "G.I. Jane," and "The Peacemaker." Regular prices are $5 for night shows and $3.50 for Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. 4. The great outdoors. Bear Lake, Wolf Lake and Paradise Falls seem to be the most popular local spots for camping, hiking, mountain biking, swimming, drinking, and cliff-diving. 5. Asheville. Some people who are still looking for that bar scene are able to find it at places like Magnolia's and O'Sullivans, although Magnolia's is only open to 21 and up. The people who are looking more for shopping and relaxation on the weekend head to the Asheville Mall on Tunnel Road and the Biltmore Square Mall on Highway 26. Out of all of the students surveyed, only two answers were given repeatedly for weekday and weekend hangouts: Wal-Mart and the library. Upon hearing this, one e- mail responder stated, "It's really sad when a superman is on the top of the list for college hangouts, how bored are we?—Then again, don't answer that." Multi-Media Concert in Asheville The Asheville Symphony will present a multi-media concert for the whole family at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, October 5 at the Thomas Wolf Auditorium. The performance will feature the photochoreography of James Westwater. Music director Robert Hart Baker will conduct as three giant screens above the orchestra showcase the nature photography of Westwater, a native of North Carolina. Westwater's panoramic visual presentations have been produced by such renowned orchestras as the National Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, the North Carolina Symphony, the Houston Symphony, and the Rochester Philharmonic. Maestro Baker has chosen the music of two outstanding American composers, Samuel Barber and Aaron Copeland. "Reflections of the Spirit" features portrayals of Native American people and their culture, reflecting the ancient ways of living in harmony with nature. A traditional Native American invocation of the Great Spirit completes this uniquely enhanced performance of Samuel Barber's moving Adagio For Strings. Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring is the inspiration for "Heartland Suite: A Love For The Land." Westwater's award- winning photographs of the Eastern Highlands bring this exhilarating music to life in a program celebrating America and its many- faceted beauty. Join the Asheville Symphony at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in the Asheville Civic Center for this unique multi-media spectacular. Tickets start at $5.00 and are available by calling 704-2540-7046 or Ticketmaster at 704-251 -5505. 1998 Summer Orientation Dates Freshmen only Thursday-Saturday, June 11-13 Thursday-Saturday, June 18-20 Thursday-Saturday, June 25-27 Summer Academic Success Program students will attened the third June orientation session rather than have a seperate program.
