  • WESTERN CAROLINIAN NEWS March 15,2000 Two Residence Halls to Become an 'Academic Community' by Dawn N. Pasley Asst. News Editor University Housing has big plans for Leatherwood and Helder residence halls next year - the creation of the Academic Residential Community. Suzie Orr, Director of University Housing, describes the program as "a residential environment that has greater involvement of faculty." "The idea was to create a place that could become a four-or-more-year home to residents who want to stay there," said Orr. Students will live in the ARC in groups according to their major field of study, and there will be more faculty involvement outside of the classroom. "We know a lot of faculty are hesitant to come into the residence halls because they feel that it's a student home," said Orr. "We hope to create a sort of relationship where students are like, 'Hey, there's Professor Smith, it's pretty cool that he's here'." Students of all ages will live together in the ARC, and the program is not necessarily created to attract freshmen and sophomores, but upperclassmen as well. "I really think that freshmen can learn from upper-class students, and I think that upper-class students have a lot to give and offer and learn from freshmen," said Orr. Some renovations will be made to both residence halls. The second-floor lounges in both buildings will be converted into classrooms, and new carpet and furnishings will be added. The classrooms will not be outfitted with desks and chairs, but rather with couch-type furniture so as to create a more relaxed atmosphere. Although Leatherwood and Helder were selected to house the ARC, students currently living in those residence halls and not wishing to participate in the program will not be forced to live in another building next year. The room change procedures for the buildings will be slightly different, to allow the greatest amount of clustering among students with the same majors. "We hope they understand that they're sort of going to be participating by default if they're here, and we hope that they may learn to like that," said Orr. Faculty and students have already been involved in the program, helping to plan ways to make the ARC a success. "Some faculty already tend to be involved in things that go on outside the classroom," said Dr. Brian Railsback, Dean of the Honors College. "I think that the faculty members will have to feel that they're involved in shaping these as time goes by, that they have some involvement in what an ARC is." Sigma Tau Delta Attends Convention by Rachel Whisnant Contributing Writer Western Carolina University's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the English Honor Society, attended its International Convention in Savannah, Georgia, from March 1-4. There were over 600 attendees of the convention, including three WCU students, one WCU alumnus, and two WCU faculty members. Those in attendance were Bernetta Barton, Susan Montalban, Jill Delp, Larry Tremblay, Dr. Mae Miller Claxton and Dr. Mary Adams. The excursion, funded partially by a book sale, was a major high point for the chapter. During the convention, the group participated in presentations and panels. Two from the group were chosen to read their own works. Susan Montalban, a WCU English major, read a paper en titled "Depression in 'The Yellow Wallpaper' and 'The Bell Jar'." WCU alumnus Larry Tremblay also presented a paper entitled "Circe in Eden." Both papers were selected from numerous submissions, a great honor for both. These writers from Western gave both themselves and the university a positive image. Dr. Claxton said that she is "very proud of our showing from Western." The members of Sigma Tau Delta in attendance listened attentively as several presenters gave inspiring readings and speeches. The more well-known speakers included Pat Conroy, author of "The Prince of Tides"; Mark Doty, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award; and Esme Codell, author of "Educating Esme." Conroy spoke on the influences of his English teachers and described his writing career. The group also participated in panels relating to both education and liter ary subjects. One of these panels discussed the contentious area of tutoring in elementary schools and adult literacy programs. There were also panels on the improvement of Sigma Tau Delta chapters that gave the group several ideas for the coming years. One of the themes of this year's convention was "Be Smart and Serve." This theme reiterated the fact that the group is not only an honor society, but also a participant in community service. It encouraged both the academic as well as the service-related sides of the honor society in the minds of the convention's attendees. In addition to attending panels, readings, and presentations, the group enjoyed touring Savannah. Sigma Tau Delta looks forward to attending next year's convention in Corpus Christi, Texas. i q h 1 i February 29 At 9:35 a. m., officers provided assistance to Macon County investigators and the SBI who are investigating the discovery of an infant's body in the Macon County landfill.
