  • February 07, 2001 GET A LIFE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Psychology By Mike Poston Some people call them shrinks, some prefer head doctors, on occasion some are actually referred to as therapist or doctors. However, most of the students in the psychology department will not be called any of these names. Some will be called coach, others teacher, some will be business people, and still some will find a career in social services. Part of the reason that students in the psychology department have a wide variety of career fields is because they are very diverse and they prepare students with a background in areas like critical thinking and communication skills. The department prepares students in many different ways. . One of the most unique is that students are actively encourages to join faculty members on research projects through taking independent studies. Dr. Mickey Randolph, head of the psychology department, said," There is a increased emphasis on students taking independent studies with faculty." According to Randolph, students that work with faculty on research do so on many different levels. Student involvement ranges from literature reviews to actually presenting the research and state and regional conferences. On some occasions students have shared authorship of published articles. The research with faculty also allow students to gain experiences that they can market to both employers and graduate schools. In addition to independent studies, students are also encouraged to gain practical experience via internship. Dr. John Habel, professor of psychology, "Internships are not required, but they are encouraged." The department offer The department also offers minors in psychology in life span development and gerontology. They area also a part of the women studies minor and they also offer a disciplinary focus for the education students. However, students that hope to become licensed psychologist need to have a professional degree. A group of students with Psychology in their minds. students many different areas of study. Fields of study include abnormal behavior, human personality, industrial organization, and many more. psychology. Above and beyond the realm of the classroom the psychology department has another interesting facet. Thanks to the work of Dr. William Chovan, professor Emeritus, the department has an archival display of the history of psychology. The display highlights instruments used in testing and research and also books from different times | throughout the history of psychology. It's well worth a stroll through the third floor of the Killian building to see this exhibit. If you are a student that is interested in working with people or even discovering' why people behave the way they do, then you might want to check out the rtesy of the Psychology department Psychology department.

Conveniently enough, for those that wish to become licensed psychologist the psychology department offers a Master's in Arts degree in clinical psychology and school /n I IDBIIUJ 1AIITLI Mill/ • Western Gets Creatiue • By Mike Poston Asst. Features Editor Creativity is a word that is very important to Western students, especially when they are describing the Cullowhee night life to their friends in Boone, Chapel Hill, and everywhere else on earth. Sometimes it takes a creative imagination to navigate the life of a student or life in general. To help students at Western Carolina explore their more creative sides, two freshman have created the creative writing club. Tony Christopher and Tim Blekicki founded the club because, as Blekicki describes, they "were not satisfied with the writing options the campus offered." With the help of Dr. Brian Railsback, head of the English department, the two began to form the club. . Railsback stated that as the dean of the honors college he noticed a lot of students that did creative writing had no where to go. Now students that are interested in creative writing, or interested in listening to other's works, have a place on Western Carolina's campus. The club's meetings are casual and informal, and they focus around the presentation of original works or readings from favorite authors. Christopher said, " It's a good environment and a much more open place to learn than in a classroom." He adds, "You don't have to be an intellectual to be a part of the club." In fact, students don't even have to share if they don't want to. Everything is voluntary. Some just come, listen, and offer helpful suggestions to enhance others writing. Railsback also stated that while he was aware of those students that were interested in creative writing, he didn't know that there were people that just liked to listen and talk about literature. The group doesn't just read and critique writing, they are also planning some activities for this semester. At the beginning of March the club is hiking on Whiteside Mountain, and they have also planned a couple of poetry readings and slams with the English club. In addition, the club is planning to attend readings by different authors around the area. According to Christopher, the club's future plans are to begin publishing the club's writings in local magazines and newspapers, as well as the on the web. Students interested in this club might want to check out this year's Nomad. Many members of the creative writing club have submitted pieces to this annually published student publication. Although the club is housed in the English department, it is open to everyone. Whether you like to write or listen, this club is for you. The club is also open to the surrounding community. The creative writing club normally meets every other Monday. The next meeting scheduled for February 12, at 5 p.m., in Coulter room 419. If you would like more information about the creative writing club you can e-mail Tony Christopher at darkglean @ hotmail.com
