I hope you enjoy it. -Al Homecoming Parade Brings Cheer to Sylva by Johnnie Mickel Staff Writer Western Carolina celebrated Homecoming this weekend as the entire community gathered around to help inspire our football team to victory over Virginia Military Institute. It must have worked because WCU went on to win against VMI 40-2; before the team went to victory they participated in the annual Homecoming parade through the streets of Sylva. A police siren marked the beginning of the parade and soon after, a group of Scot- tish bagpipers strolled down the empty street. As they were walking, an antique fire truck followed behind, ringing its bell, a much different sound from what we are used to. A float with the 1999 Homecoming court soon rolled down the street, the young lasses and lads smiling and waving to the crowd. The WCU cheerleaders soon followed, trying to boost the sprits of the community with painted faces and loudly yelling hello to the strangers standing on the sidewalks. Then the focus of the festivities, the football team (some walking, some riding in a large truck), came through and greeted on-lookers and gave candy to the small children. The Catamount ladies and the Volleyball team both passed by waving, photo by Johnnie Mickel Look out below! Onlooking children await candy from the gleeful members of ATA. with smiles on their faces. Some of the fraternities and sororities were represented, many giving out candy, others screaming and waving to the crowd. Pi Kappa Alpha was even driven down the street in a fire truck, throwing candy to children. ZetaTau Alpha and Phi Mu joined forces carrying a banner, encouraging spirit from the crowd on their float. Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Chi Omega rode by on a homemade float, waving and pelt ing the crowd of youngsters with candy. Many of the organizations and clubs at WCU participated, again by throwing candy and encouraging spirit in the locals. Last Minute Productions, the International Club, the Foreign Language League, the Native American Student Association, Association of Nursing Students, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes were just some of the clubs that participated. Many, such as FCA, had creative ways of show ing the WCU victory over VMI; FCA's float showed a cat controlling the tin figurines of VMI soldiers. The Foreign Language League dressed themseryes in the flags of other nations with a large banner leading the way. Also, the Association of Nursing Students had, on their float, a VMI person in bandages with the nurses having a less than friendly bedside mariner. Even the residence halls and classes got involved. Mrs. Smith's USI 130 class participated in the festivities, along with the buildings of Scott, "Helderwood," Walker, and the Honors College. The Baptist Student Union and the Wesley Foundation nowhere near covered all of the religion that VMI needed to win Saturday night. As the parade wound down, Santa Claus, uh, that is, Santa Paws, wound through the streets early this year scoping out whp so far has been naughty and nice. Then the WCU majorettes gave us a show to remember. With their brightly colored outfits it was almost impossible to miss them. WCU's marching band pulled off a trick as the drummers walked backwards playing their songs as they marked the last of the official parade. Finally, just as it began, a police siren marked the ending of this year's Homecoming parade, as citizens greeted each other with friendly smiles. Chelsea Gallery Spotlights Pauline Dove in 'Drawing Conclusions' by Holly Rhodarmer Staff Writer The work of Pauline Dove is interesting the way an episode of "the Twilight Zone," or perhaps "Tales from the Dark Side," might interest a fan of the macabre. The works are the passions, or demons, of an accomplished, skilled artist. They feature the macabre, in vivid precise de- tail. Mummies and skulls become animated in an almost storybook fashion. Her use of color has the quality of an airbrushed T-shirt bought at Myrtle Beach. This gives the works a surrealist quality, like the subjects themselves. Pauline Dove serves as the program chair at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte. She has also served as Exhibits Coordinator for Charlotte's Spirit Square Art Center. Dove worked in Katmandu as a free-lance artist from 1966-67, and taught at Queens College from 1974-1975. She received her MFA in painting in 1996 from George Washington University. Drawing Conclusions DATE: October 27-November 23 COST: FREE!!! LOCATION: Chelsea Gallery University Center Three Scarecrows is the first interesting piece. Two Romanesque columns form a cathedral-like entrance to rolling hills, fences, crosses, and, of course, three scarecrows. The foremost scarecrow is looming forward, precariously as if unbalanced and about to fall. His eyes are blood shot, and the blood spills from his eyes to the front of his shirt. Crosses line the top of the work. An animal skull lays at his feet. One of the creepiest works is May Day, a skewed version of the spring celebration. Large skulls with small bodies dance around a May pole that seems to descend into hell. The bodies are wearing various costumes and hats, everything from crowns, to flowers, to regular straw hats. The earth is covered in flowers and beauty, unaffected by this bizarrely upbeat dance of skeletons. Stuffing a Scarecrow is a pleasant break from the cartoonlike characters that surround it. It is more like a story from Poe than its cheap paperback horror story companions. There is no ancient mysterious figures looming in this 'May Day' is featured in Pauline Dove's 'Drawing Conclusions,'on exhibit now in the Chelsea Gallery at the Hines University Center. small piece, or bloody severed heads, as appear in other of her works. It features a bright, nearly harvest moon, illuminating the country sky. Three people work on stuffing the scarecrow, shoving straw into its body. It is on a post above them, its arms pointing outward, while one hand faces down, the other more towards the sky. The scarecrow is hovering above them, looking quite frightening. He seems to grow more animated by the moment, while the people stuff him to life, unleashing some horrible evil, yet unknown to the world. It is chilling, yet satisfying; subtle, yet effective. More than any work in the show, this one is scary.
