a Students Recognized at Regional Conference by Holly Rhodarmer Staff Writer Each year, the National Association of Campus Activities (NACA) hosts a conference in Jacksonville, Florida. The conference is designed to expose student groups to potential performers, offer classes to improve student organizations, and an exhibit hall, where universities can book acts. Awards are also distributed to outstanding'individuals and organizations. WCU was well-represented this year by Last Minute Productions (LMP), who walked away with two awards. LMP is a student-run entertainment and activity programming organization. Members won first place in the low publicity-cost division and second place in the Web-page competition. The LMP brochure used to advertise and attract students won regional recognition. Thursday morning, September 23, seven delegates traveled to Jacksonville, Fla., for three days days of entertainment and classes. The delegates who attended the conference are Michelle Lynch, advisor; Ryan Donnelly, president; Stephanie Hallyburton, promotions director; Chris Miller, promotions assistant; Daphne Moore, special events/leisure chairperson; Anna Mason, music chair- photo courtesy LMP LMP enthusiasts celebrate at the NACA conference in Jacksonville, Florida. ern University circuit. Acts in the past in- person; and Lisa Stracuzzi, producer. The conference covered all the universities in the Southeast region, with over 1,200 delegates present. Students and faculty saw five to six Showcase acts each day. These are performers who hope to travel the Southeast- elude Carrot Top, Gary Owens, Blessid Union of Souls, Anthony Clark (of Boston Common), and Blues Traveler. These performers pay to be exposed to college students. Each showcase act performed for 20 minutes. This can prove beneficial to both groups; students can choose interesting performers, and the performers get good exposure. Many of the acts previewed will be visiting Western in spring 2000. Educational Sessions offered classes to enhance student organizations. The classes covered everything from teamwork to effective advertising. Students learned communication skills and the importance of a healthy sense of humor. The classes also encouraged discussion of the changing face of entertainment, particularly the coffee house phenomenon, and how it can be successfully integrated into university life. The business of the conference was conducted at the campus marketplace. It was a "tradeshow of campus activities" that offered a variety of performance artists: comedians, musicians, hypnotists, magicians, and more. Ninety agencies, as well as self-represented artists, were present to answer questions and offer advice. LMP supplies the university with activities, concerts and speakers. These students work hard to provide quality diversions for students. The conference gave them the opportunity to be recognized for their efforts, and give them new ideas for the future. Daphne Moore said, "It was educational, but there was a ton of entertainment and fun." New Compilation CD Highlights the Sounds of Appalachia by Johnnie Mickel Staff Writer Those of you that attended Mountain Heritage Day in September probably overheard, if not listened to, the great Appalachian singers and performers featured at the festival. If you enjoy the Appalachian style of music, you are in for a treat. Recently, the North Carolina Arts council awarded Western Carolina a grant to produce a CD of the Heritage Day sounds and singers. Entitled "The Music of Mountain Heritage Day," the CD features some the best Mountain Heritage Day performers from the last twenty- five years. The Mountain Heritage Cen- The Music of Mountain Heritage Day Where to get it: How much? Who's on it? Mountain Heritage Center $15 The Dietz Family The Queen Family Jim Shumate Howard Cunningham Don Fox Ross Brown Gar Mosteller Doyle Barker Walker Calhoun Jack Wlain ... and many more! ter wanted to produce a CD compilation of Heritage day performers to protect the future of the southern Appalachian sound. Since many of the "older performers are dying; their music is being lost," said Dr. Blethen of the Mountain Heritage Center. The Center wanted to preserve the music as performed by the musicians best known for performing it. Many in this area and elsewhere are "very interested in the sounds of our regional musicians, so there is a market for this type of music." The 60-minute compact disc includes such Mountain Heritage Day performers as the Dietz and Queen families, Jim Shumate, Howard Cunningham, Don Fox, Ross Brown, Gar Mosteller, Doyle Barker, Walker Calhoun, Jack Wlain, and many others. The CD features fiddle, string ballads and the southern tradition of shape note singing. Shape note photo courtesy WCU History Department Jackson County's Homer Locust will grace the cover of "The Music of Mountain Heritage Day," an upcoming music compilation. singing is a method of assigning shapes to notes according to their relationship to each other, instead of to their pitch value. The CD was recorded in July and is available only at the Mountain Heritage Center for $15. Blethen spoke of the Mountain Heritage performers when he said "We have fine musicians here at WCU and around; it's been a pleasure to work with them and see their music recorded for the community. We have a treasury, rich in musical traditions."
