September 27, 2000 GET A LIFE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Xu Xi Opens 2000 Visiting Writers Series by Dr. Mary Adams Contributing Writer On Monday, October 2, at 7:30pm in the Mountain Heritage Auditorium, Chinese-American novelist Xu Xi will read from her work. She is sponsored by Western Carolina University's Visiting Writers Series. Her books include two novels Hong Kong Rose (1997) and Chinese Walls (1994) and a fiction collection Daughters of Hui (1996), all published by Asia 2000. Time Warner's Asiaweek magazine named Daughters of Hui a 1996 "best book". A German edition of Hong Kong Rose was published by Buhler & Kawohl (2000). Her fiction has appeared in various anthologies, including the NuyorAsian Anthology (Asian American Writer's Workshop), Home To Stay (Greenfield Review Press) and Lovers (Crossings Press). Stories and novel excerpts have been published internationally in numerous literary journals, magazines and newspapers, including World Englishes, Manoa, dimsum, Hawaii Review, The Little Magazine, Short Story International, Phoebe, South China Morning Post, Hawaii Pacific Review, Brooklyn Free Press, among others, and her work has also been broadcast on the BBC's World Service and New York's WKCR. Published writing also includes essays, op-eds, articles and book reviews. Earlier work was bylined under her former name Sussy Chako. Excerpts of a new novel, The Unwalled City, have appeared in various journals. The manuscript is currently under representation by the New York literary agency, Harold Matson Company. Work-in-progress includes a fiction collection, Making History: Fiction from the City of Hong Kong, scheduled for publication by Chameleon Press (2001-'02), and a novel, The Habit of a Foreign Sky. Xu Xi holds a Master of Fine Arts, in fiction from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and is the recipient of several awards, including a New York Arts Foundation fiction fellowship and residencies for fiction at the Anderson Center in Red Wing, MN, the Jack Kerouac writers- in-residence project of Orlando, FL and the Kulturhuset USF artist in residence of Bergen, Norway, among others. She is a frequent speaker/reader at universities and arts forums worldwide. Xu Xi is a writer who lives between New York and Hong Kong. Born and raised in Hong Kong by Chinese-Indonesian immigrant parents who "spoke too many languages," Xu Xi began writing and publishing in English at the age of eleven. Hong Kong has been her home intermittently for almost thirty years. Dr. Warner Publishes 'Winning Ways' by Alex Esmon Managing Editor Teachers need all the help they can get and Western's own Dr. Mary Warner is trying to do just that—help. Winning Ways of Coaching Writing: A Practical Guide to Teaching Writing Grades Six ThroughH is Dr. Warner's latest publication and the goal of the book is to help teachers from grades 6 to 12 teach students the fine points of writing and composition. "Before the late 1980's, very few teachers received training in this area. Many students went into teaching without ever taking a separate writing class," says Dr. Warner. She is hopeful that the new manual will help teachers-in-training as well as teachers who have been in the profession for a long time how to better meet the needs of students. 'The book has a dual design, that is I hope it is effective for both people already teaching and for those who are just starting," said Dr. Warner. But as one would expect from Dr. Warner, she is quick to share the accolades from her book. In fact, the manual was written with the input of teachers from across the nation— "For teachers by teachers," as Dr. Warner likes to say. "I didn't write the whole thing," she says with a slight touch of pride. "It's important that Dr. Mark Honneger be recognized for his part. He wrote chapters two and four." Dr. Honneger, also a professor of English at WCU, wrote a chapter on grammar and a chapter on English as a second language (ESL). "These are areas that many teachers in training are poorly informed about, unless they specifically focus on them with extra classes," he said. Dr. Warner's manual has many useful features for teachers. From current guides on how to manage websites and evaluate them to the most current information on topics surrounding state mandated tests, Winning Ways is a virtual must for anyone going into the realm of middle or high school teaching. "The goal of the book is to help teachers teach writing—I want to coach. We can never really teach people how to write but we can coach. That's the reason the book is called 'Winning Ways of Coaching Writing'," said Dr. Warner Also important for teachers are the chapters that deal with how to teach writing to ESL students, students with ADHD, or advanced ninth graders. Dr. Warner couldn't be more pleased with the reception the book is getting from teachers and former students alike. The feeling is that the book is "really needed" in an area that previously has lacked any guidance for teachers. Dr. Warner is in her fifth year at WCU as head of the Student Teaching Program in the English Department. Winning Ways is now available on amazon.com. Knowledge is Power Get Some at VoteSmart.com by Holly Rhodarmer Features Editor It is the year of elections. Much is at stake, and as students of a state supported University we are under an implicit obligation to learn about the candidates. But this is.not a plea to go out and vote- it is a plea to be informed if you are going to vote. The internet is full of sites to help clarify party confusion. Many students are uncertain what the distinctions are Congress, House and Senate is available, with a full list of voting records for all members. The site clarifies some of the most important issues this election. One such issue is the school bond, which is certainly something students should be knowledgeable of. In its effort to excite voters and provide a vein of communication to local, state and federal politicians, it offers e-mail addresses to currently elected officials (even the presi- between the different parties- much less what the main issues are this election. One of the most comprehensive sites is votesmart.com. The site gives information about,the executive, legislative and judicial bodies of government. Information on members of the dents'). If you are unsure who your representatives are you can easily get the information from the "Who represents me?" category on the site.The site also gives updates on the past week in congress and the senate. In addition it lists links to major news organizations that run the gamut of the political spectrum. Votesmart.com gives links to less understood, but significant political parties and organizations. Its links to the Libertarian party, the Green party, Taxpayers Coalition and the Christian Coalition are helpful in understanding popular movements throughout the country. It also offers a historical framework to judge modern political decisions by. It has copies of the U.S. Constitution and Amendments, the Bill of Rights (Amendments 1 thru 10). later Amendments (11 thru 27), the Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers. For information on the economy it contains a section entitled "The U.S. Budget", which includes historical data going back to our Nation's beginnings. If you are intersted in registering to vote you can go to www.fec.gov, the Federal Election commision to access its National Mail Voter Registration.
