  • March 29, 2000 GET A LIFE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 11 Writing Center Contains Opportunities by Holly Rhodarmer Asst. Features Editor One of the most challenging aspects of a college education is writing effective, succinct papers. Whether for a freshman composition class, or a senior thesis, all students must be able to communicate through their writing. The university offers help to all students, faculty and staff who are working on papers, letters or any other form of writing. The University Writing Center is staffed with friendly, able consultants who can help edit and clarify papers. Liz Kelly, a graduate student of English, states that "Writing consultants work to facilitate the writing process. We help students find their voices. It is important that students maintain ownership; they are the creators and we help them put the ideas on paper." The Center is available to help generate ideas, start a draft, formulate a thesis, develop paragraphs, and edit a finish product. Papers can be brought in during any stage of development. The consultants come from all fields of study, and can help with any class assignment. They also are familiar with the three primary documentation styles- APA, MLA and Turabian. Everyone can benefit from having their work read. Mary Lander, interim director of the Writing Center, has been working to make the center accessible to all. "Everyone needs an audience for papers, not because of a problem but to clarify their message," she said. This semester has seen improvements to the format of the center, which is located on the first floor of Hunter Library. Previously, appointments could only be made on the hour, but now they can be scheduled at half hour intervals. Within the next few weeks the center will have an e-mail address, where students can schedule appointments. Overall the workers at the center hope to create an inviting atmosphere. Naci Morris, a consultant, notes that, "There seems to be a predominant misconception about the Writing Center. Most students want to come about as much as they want to go to the doctor. But in all honesty, the consultants are friendly and helpful within a casual environment." Currently, the center has a web site, that can be accessed from the WCU home page. The site has useful categories such as frequently asked questions, information on documentation styles and many helpful links. The site is updated every two to three weeks. Receptionist Kelly Forster has benefited from her job at the Center. "Ever since I started working here my grades have gone up. The consultants have helped me with many papers and I feel like a much more confident writer." The Writing Center is open 9am-9pm Monday-Thursday, 9am-3pm Friday, and 6pm-9pm Sundays. NC Museum of Natural Sciences Kicks off with 24- hour Celebration by Holly Rhodarmer Asst. Features Editor The new North Carolina Museum of Natural Science opens April 7-8 with a 24 hour grand opening celebration, the first in the state's history. The museum's main objective is to document and interpret the natural history of the state through exhibits, research, collections, publications and educational programming. This free event will display the museum's collection, and be full of fun and educational activities. The museum will feature four floors of completely new exhibits showcasing the state's natural diversity, as well as establish North Carolina's global connections. The celebration will include musical performances, short interpretive programs, live animals, hands on activities, crafts, food and films. While there, visitors can observe nearly 3,500 animals from 270 different species, which is enough to qualify the museum as a mid-sized zoo. The $70.5 million museum is the Southeast's largest natural history museum. It covers 200,000 square feet and is seven stories. It contains the world's only Acrcanthosaurus dinosaur, and will allow patrons to experience " Terror of the South" a prehistoric fight scene reenactment. The museum also hosts a 20- foot waterfall stocked with live Salamanders in its "Mountains to the Sea" exhibit. The museum stage will be laden with a smorgasbord of entertainment. Bluegrass, jazz, rock-n-roll, folk and Latin sounds will fill the air during weekend festival. Emmy- award winning environmental magician Dr. Wilderness, plus Mad Science, will perform an audience- participation show on the Plaza stage. Storytellers will spin local yarns between acts. The museum will provide tours on a first-come, first-serve basis. The high-definition film "Wilderness North Carolina" will make its premiere for the festival. Participants can pan for gems in museum organized activities, as well as dig for fossils and experiment with sand sculpture. The Arthropod Zoo will exhibit bizarre and rarely seen insects, while Tropical Connections will link native aquatic creatures to their tropical relatives. A traveling exhibit, In the Dark, opens at l Ipm Friday. This will be followed by a midnight Chocoholic Buffet, Natural Horror Picture Show and the "It must be Time for Breakfast Buffet." Chuck Davis and the African-American Dance Ensemble will perform at the closing ceremonies, debuting a song they wrote in honor of the Acrocanthosaurus. The museum is located in downtown Raleigh. Admission is free. For more information visit www.naturalsciences.org.
