CAMPUS NEWS MacomCounty„Manager Sam Greenwood Visits WCU by jessica jarrard I WCnewsmagazine 2.0 Macon County Manager Sam Greenwood visited Western Carolina University's Niggli Theater on Wednesday, September 3. Greenwood, who holds degrees from WCU and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and served three years. in the. LU,S. Army, delivered his speech as part Ofthe Public Policy4nstitute's year=long American Democracy Project. Greenwood was invited to discuss the personnel and operations of state and local governments; "We don't: play politics when hiring our people," declared Greenwood as he began to describe his job as county manager, Greenwood explained that he»fills, a position right between a political board and notvpolitical organizations, he-is constantly being pulledtoward both sides of issues. Greenwood attributed his field's high turnover average length of service for a county years; and city managers usually *last about four—to •the fact that county and city managers are thrown. into a fire for which no amount of training can prepare them, One of Greenwood 's main frustrations -isåe fact that county governments are seldom well received in Raleighv From colonial times many county governments had been very autocratic, numberof counties went bankrupt during the Great Depression in the 1930s, the state decided -to exercisenore •control over counties. Greenwood told his audience that mountain countieOike Macon didn't suffer nearly. as. much during the Great Depression as those in other parts of the state: Over •the years Macon County has managed to maintain a low tax rate becauseit is not affected by outside economic strain due to its location. Before Greenwood began, Dr. Niall Michelsen, chairman of the Political Science Department, announced that the Student Association of Government and Legal Affairs, a student organization that has been idle for many years, would begin meeting again in September. In thewastthis organization has taken trips to Raleigh and Washington, D.C«, to study government in action. Michelsen stated that SAGLA would further the Political Science Department's goal of increasing interaction between students and elected officials. In conjunction with Michelsenss announcement of the first SAGLA meeting of the year, Greenwood told the audience about how he and some Of his classmates founded the program at Western in 1974, There were a Aarge number of Vietnam War veterans who were interested in starting up a club that would focus ofthe politics of the day. They liked to call it "democracy on the ground?' Among the audience were students from American Government and State and Local Government classes, After hearing a local official explain the intricacies of his job, the students found it much easier to understand exactly how local politics work. The Student. Association Of Government and Legal Affairs will meet. on September 17 at 3 P.M. in Room of the Stillwell Building. Student Take Early Morning Journey for the John Edwards Presidential Campaign Kick-Off by jessica jarrard I WCnewsmagazine 2.0 The Student Government Association managed to gather a number of dedicated students at 4 A.M-. on Tuesday, September 16, to travel to the other side of the state and back in order to witness Senator John Edwards of North Carolina announce that he is now a Democratic presidential candidate. At 4:15 A.M., a bus departed from the UC parking lot carrying college students toward the small town of Robbins, NC, located in Moore County. Despite the fact that Edwards is a Democratic candidate, Western students from both political parties were present. Both the Student Government Association and the WCU College Republicans (which are a part of SGA) attended this event. Five hours after their departure, the students exited the bus and took their seats in the chairs lined up in the parking lot of Robbins Elementary School, where John Edwards attended grade school. Edwards spoke facing the mill where his father worked for 36 years and where Edwards himself worked to pay for his college education. Edwards greeted the crowd as we walked in during the song "Small Town" by John Mellencamp. His supporters from home cheered and shouted their approval of his choice to run for the Democratic nomination. SGA was well represented at the event, considering the long drive to Moore County. "I went to see John Edwards to enhance my understanding of politics in NC and abroad," said Sam Hyde of SGA. Jessica Graham, a first-year student at Western who is beginning to get involved in student government, attended as well. Graham was excited for the opportunity to hear a North Carolina senator and presidential candidate speak. "I thought seeing John Edwards announce his candidacy would be an interesting experience that most Americans do not experience," said Graham. US Senator John Edwards Among the Edwards supporters were a group of unlikely spectators. The WCU College Republicans felt that this event would be beneficial to them. Despite their ideological differences they participated as silent observers. "The event was an opportunity to see what we are up against," said Mary Margaret Smith, Executive Director of the College Republicans. "It allows us the validity to state how the Presidents agenda is more accessible, than that of Sen. Edwards." In hindsight, College Republican Dustin Elliot said, "It was a great experience to hear a candidate for president formally announce his bid. However, I heard many great plans, but I didn't hear much about how he was going to follow through with all his big government programs." The North Carolina senator has officially dropped out of the Senate race. Erskine Bowles is expected to run for Edwards' seat. With ten Democratic candidates on the ballot for the primary, the upcoming year could prove to be very interesting for state politics. Project NExT Accepts Third WCU Faculty Member by emily weaver I WCnewsmagazine 2.0 Western Carolina's very own Erin K. McNelis, assistant professor of mathematics and computer science, is the third faculty member to be accepted into Project NEXT, a nationally competitive prögram for new professors who hold doctoral degrees in mathematics. There is an opportunity each year _for six. college and university faculty members throughout the nation to become Project NExT Fellows. The NExT program represents New Experiences in Teaching and supplies professors with professional development in improving a member's skills in teaching and learning undergraduate mathematics. "The best of new Ph.D.s at colleges and universities across the country are selected to participate in a series of workshops and meetings designed to help them establish their careers in university teaching, research and service," said Kathy Ivey, head of Western's department of mathematics and computer science. "That we have three fellows on our faculty speaks highly of the quality of our mathematics faculty and particularly of the recent faculty hires." Project NExT is a program of The Mathematics Association of America, funded by the ExxonMobil Foundation. The program provides members with a network of mentors and peers as each assume new professional responsibilities. According to Project NExT's website at http://archives.math.utk.edu/projnext/joining/index.html, the 20030004 Fellows will participate in: A two-and-one-half-day Workshop, July 28-30, 2003, in Boulder, Colorado; Project NExT sessions during the MAA summer meeting (the Mathfest) in Boulder, CO, July 3 J - August 2, 2003; Special events at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Phoenix, Arizona, January 7 - 10, 2004; A one-day workshop and the MAA Mathfest immediately afterwards in Providence, RI, August 11 - 14, 2004; An electronic network that links Project NExT Fellows with one another and with distinguished teachers of mathematics. Participating in Project NExT is an amazing accomplishment for new professors everywhere. Julia Barnes and Sloan Despeaux are previous members of Project NExT from Western's department of mathematics and computer science. McNelis, who holds a bachelor's degree from the College of Charleston , and graduate and doctorate degrees from Clemson University, joined the faculty of Western in 2()02.
