  • 1 t LMP To Hold Tuckaseigee River Clean-Up by Erin Roedema LMP Correspondent The outdoors committee of Last Minute Productions is holding its 16th annual River Clean-Up. This event will take place on Saturday, April 15. Meet at the University Center at 11:00am to participate. You must sign up at the information desk on the second floor of the UC, and there is no charge. On this trip, students will be rafting down the Tuckaseigee River in order to pick up trash in and around the river. If students wish, they could also just walk along the riverbank and clean up there. This fun activity usually lasts from 3 to 6 hours, not including the cookout afterwards. The river runs from East La Porte to Barker's Creek and is 22 miles long. Students who attend this trip will only float and clean up on a 5 to 8 mile section of this long river. Every participant will receive a commemorative tee-shirt and are invited to a cookout, which will be located in the WCU picnic area. No lunch will be provided prior to the trip, therefore it is a good idea to eat before leaving or pack a snack. Another advantage to participating in this river clean-up is that there will be prizes given out. Fifty door prizes will be given out at the cookout afterwards. Motion Makers of Sylva will donate a GTTimberline Mountain Bike, which will be the top door prize for the event. One hundred dollars will be given to the campus and non-campus group with the most participants, so encourage your friends to come and enjoy the day! The money is being given by the A.K. Hinds University Center. Students should take this opportunity to help the community even if they have no experience in rafting. No special equipment or clothing will be needed for this trip. Dress will be old clothes that can get dirty and sneakers that are well-loved. Wool socks, sweaters, and polypropylene- like clothes are recommended if the weather is cold. Gloves will also help prevent scratches and cuts from the woods. Wire cutters would also be helpful, due to the various items that will be found in the river. This fun-filled day will be a great experience for anyone who enjoys being outdoors or helping the environment. This rafting adventure will be a great trip for anyone who has ever had the urge to raft as well. For more information, call LMP at 227-7206. Leslie Marmon Silko to Visit WCU by Mary Adams Professor of English On Monday, April 3, at 7:30pm in the Grandroom of the University Center, the Visiting Writers Series will host Leslie Marmon Silko. Silko is an acclaimed Native American writer, author of "Almanac of the Dead," "Ceremony," "Storyteller," "Yellow Woman and a Beauty of the Spirit: Essays on Native American Life Today," and "Gardens in the Dunes." City Lights Books will sell copies of these books at a special signing after the reading. This reading is supported by funds from WCU's Honors' College, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Chancellor's Office, and the University Center. In 1948 Leslie Marmon Silko was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, of Pueblo, Laguna, Mexican, and white descent. Growing up on the Laguna Pueblo reservation she attended an Indian school and later attended a school in Albuquerque 50 miles away. After high school she went on to attend the University of New Mexico. Silko published her first work, "Tony's Story" in 1969 and later wrote her first book "Laguna Women Poems" in 1974. In 1977 Silko published her first novel, "Ceremony." "Ceremony" explains how vital storytelling is to the Pueblo culture and shows the effects of white culture on these stories as well as their ceremonies. Silko's second major novel, "Storyteller," published in 1981, uses the stories passed on in her Native-American tradition to recreate, through poetry and prose, stories about her own family. "Delicacy and the Strength of Lace: Letters," published in 1986 is an edited version of her correspon- dence with poet James Wright. "Almanac of the Dead," published in 1991, is perhaps Silko's most talked- , about novel. As one critic wrote, "this book was written to be discussed." In this book, Silko deals with many issues related to Native Americans, the most prominent being European conquest of them. This book has a darker tone than her others and the characters are more complex. Kirkus Reviews says of "Almanac," "a chillingly dark vision of corruption, despair, and chaos in the Americas, where a native new world order ap pears ready to begin." In a recent survey by Rolling Stone, "Almanac of the Dead" was listed as one of the top books purchased by students for their own enjoyment. Silko's most recent book, "Gardens in the Dunes," has been described as "a novel that moves with extraordinary fluidity and grace between two diametrically opposed worlds — the timeless, 'traditional' world of Native American peoples and the elaborate, stylized world of European and American upper-class culture at its glittering, falsely glamorous zenith before the First World War." Silko has been the recipient of a Mac Arthur "Genius" Award, i National Endowment for the Arts —-^/ Discover Grant and Writer's Fellowship, The Chicago Review Poetry Award, the Pushcart Prize for Poetry, the Boston Globe Prize, a New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities "Living Cultural Treasure" Award, the Lila Wallace Reader's Digest Fund Writer's Award, and the Premio Fronterizo, given by the Borders Book Festival. Split Lip Brings Thrashgrass to WNC by Johnnie Mickel Staff Writer Ever wonder what it would sound like if suddenly the bluegrass you know went on steroids? Well, a band from the Kansas flatlands can answer that question. Split Lip Rayfield will perform at Stella Blue in Asheville on March 29. "Listen for yourself as they churn out their aggressive farmland brand of all- acoustic scorched earth thrashgrass" so says their record company, Bloodshot Records. Split Lip Rayfield is a collage of different genres. "It's close enough to Bluegrass to appease that crowd, and insane and fast enough to please the punk kids as well", says Jeff Wall of Twangzine Magazine. Things have changed since Spilt Lip's last album release. Joining the group is former Scroatbelly member Wayne Gottstine. Gottstine brings in his unique form of "mandolin mania" into the already quick paced, guitar picking, and bass- pounding group. Their infamous Stitchgiver bass guitar plays one note, but adds a distinct sound to the other more common instruments. The Stitchgiver is constructed from an old Ford gas tank, a 2x4, and a weed eater string, an unusual way to bring an interesting sound to an unusual band. Split Lip Rayfield WHEN: Wednesday, March 29 WHERE: Stella Blue, Asheville PRICE: .$5 Their most recent CD, In the Mud, debuted in August of 1999, to rave reviews by most bluegrass and music critics. According to Bloodshot Records, "Split Lip Rayfield whips out the Kansas homegrown with 16 cuts of kickass bluegrass. With songs about guns, drinking, the WIC program, bad love and other favorite themes of real country, these dudes play it so they don't spray it—with machine gun fire that is." Split Lips' performance, if like others, will draw a crowd. Speaking of Split Lip's performance at Lounge Ax, Dave Chamberlain of New City Chicago said, "When Split Lip went on, maybe ten out of the fifty present moved up to the stage. Five songs later, there were thirty, By the end of the set, only one or two stragglers remained at the bar, and the whole crowd was so enthused, hootin' and a hollerin', that Split Lip was forced to do an encore-and they were the opening band. When Bad Livers came on stage the crowd was damn near spent." "If you like lightnin' pickin' guitar and muscular mandolin playin', this one is a must hear," says the CMJ Music Report. Split Lip Rayfield will be performing at the Stella Blue in Asheville on Wednesday, March 29. Be prepared for hard-core bluegrass with a rock n' roll soul, and get ready to enjoy one a strange but interesting show.
