  • WESTERN 4 CAROLINIAN NEWS November 8, 2000 Campus Computer Store: Gone But Not Forgotten Shange To Visit WCU By Samantha Helms Asst. News Editor WCU is currently communicating with several vendors in search for computer services to replace those offered last semester by College and University Computers, Inc. CUC gave a one day notice before discontinuing their services. Earlier this semester Western sent out a request for information to local and larger companies to get an idea of what they are willing to offer. Upon receiving this information, several vendors visited campus to share ideas and discuss options. Billy Norton, the director of Auxiliary Services, feels encouraged that Western will soon have a new computer store. "Several vendors are interested in providing a full range of services, including supplies and warranty," said Norton. Computer Dynamics, located in Sylva, is interested in offering their business to Western. Tony Gallira, the owner of Computer Dynamics, feels that he could meet the computer needs of Western. "We have the best prices, good relationships between our technical staff, and we offer adequate and friendly service," said Gallira. "If a person has any type of computer related problem, we will attempt to fix it." Western plans to send out a request for proposal to vendors to clarify expectations and give vendors an opportunity to bid. In the meantime, computer supplies and accessories can be found in the University Bookstore. A list for locations for warranty service and numbers of computer manufacturers is at http:// computerstore.wcu.edu/. For further information regarding the closing of the CUC contact Billy Norton at (828)227-7322 or via e- mail at nortonb@wcu.edu. 1 SmokyMountainlnternet 579 West Palmer Street Franklin, NC 28734 828-349-9541 Unlimited Access - $18.95 50 Hours Access - $14.95 20 Hours Access - $9.95 no busy signals info@smnet.net t WHi OfWlt Uf» TIM W»MTt» Vow" ^i^F. ^^■.w.»r«.'- ^^^ . ^^S ■■■■■» ,^^*.ms¥«:■■■ ■an Web Hosting Web Site Design Internet Training Business Solutions E-Comrnerce Co-location www.smnet.net Mary Adams Contributing Writer On Wednesday, November 15, at 7:30 p.m. in the Coulter Recital Hall, Ntozake Shange (pronounced En-toe- ZAK-kay SHONG-gay) will read from her work. The reading is sponsored by the WCU's Lectures, Concerts, and Exhibitions and the Visiting Writers Series. Areception and book-signing will follow the event. Shange's major contribution to American drama is the choreopoem, which involves narrative pieces presented with music and dance. This form, rooted in an African tradition of movement, song, and music, is exemplified by her best-known work,/or colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf( 1976). She was born Paulette Williams in Trenton, New Jersey, and changed her name to Ntozake Shange as a young adult in recognition of her African heritage; her Zulu name means "she who comes with her own things" and "she who walks like a lion." She graduated from Barnard College in 1970. She received a master's degree from the University of Southern California (1973), and has taught at several colleges and universities. For colored girls... began in 1975 as a series of poems performed in bars and cafes. After the addition of music and dance, it was eventually performed at the Public Theater in New York City and then moved to Broadway, where it played for two years (1976_1977) and won a Tony Award nomination for best play in 1977. Since then it has been performed internationally. The New York Times praised the choreopoem for "encompassing. . . every feeling and experience a woman has ever had. " In for colored girls... a group of women named in brown, yellow, orange, red, purple, green, blue perform poems, often to music, that express issues, abuses, and emotions in black women's lives. The choreopoem could be categorized as a drama of self_celebration because all-too-human black women are presented who are preoccupied with living and surviving. It is also filled with the outcries of women who have been hurt. On one level, the work deals with the physical and emotional abuse that black women experience at the hands of insensitive black men. On another level, however, it deals with the black woman's ability to survive even after being knocked down repeatedly. The play is a tribute to black women who strive for and develop a sense of self. Shange commends black women who refuse to despair in the face of loneliness, rejection, pain, and rape. Shange's other produced plays include a photograph (1977), boogie woogie landscapes (1979), and spell #7 (1979). All three were published in a single work titled three pieces (1992). She also wrote the play Betsey Brown (1989), based on her autobiographical novel of the same title about a teenage black girl growing up during the 1950s. Of her novel, Sassafrass, Cypress, and Indigo, one critic wrote, "this book was among the first modern creative experiments that combined tradition with innovation, spirituality with passion, and celebration with grief and fury to express African-American women's experiences in distinctive and explicit terms. Ntozake Shange plunges headlong into the passions of her characters and blends the powerful rhythmic patterns of poetry, music, and speech into her prose, pressing between the pages recipes, herbal remedies, choreography, letters, and dreams, like bright leaves to be preserved."
