WCU Students Implement | Mentoring Program by Traci White | WCnewsmagazine Walking past a sea of closed doors in the quiet carpeted halls of Reynolds, bright bursts of laughter can be heard emanating from the main lobby. What's this? A party at nine o clock on a Wednesday night? Perhaps this is nothing unusual in other residence halls, but in the Honors College? Intrigued by this seemingly uncharacteristic social event, further investigation is necessary. Upon peering around the doorframe with some trepidation, a welcoming wave of voices washes over me. | feel like Ive walked into an episode of Cheers. Decidedly startled, | smile and make my way over to the square of couches that have congregated in the middle of the room. No, this arrangement of furniture is not being used for some elaborate fort. It is, however, populated by what appears to be the least likely grouping of students imaginable. Lacrosse players, music majors, College Republicans, Young Democrats, first floor residents, third floor residents. As | seat myself Indian style on the carpet, | discover this somewhat motley crew has gathered to learn more about becoming a WCU mentor. Jessica Rose, founder of HEMP (Honors Education Mentor Program), is enthusiastically describing the aim of the organization. As a member of the Honors Board, Jessica attended a convention in Chicago several months ago to learn about new programs and activities for her fellow honors students to partake in. Above any other suggestions, brought before her, the idea of mentoring was the most appealing. Upon returning to Cullowhee Jessica set herself to the task of getting a mentoring project off the ground at Western. Jessicas vision for HEMP is a diverse organization of upperclassmen who can give guidance and insight to incoming freshmen. By submitting their recommendations as to where to go on campus for an edible Philly cheese steak, where in Sylva to find the best used books, or what route is the quickest to Coulter from Reynolds, Jessica and all the mentors are hoping to give new WCU students the advice they wish they had had without relying on trial and error (such as Hunter Szokas traumatic digestive experience at Golden China). In addition to providing a real Catamount survival guide, beginning in the fall the hempies will host monthly outings for a group of ten freshmen assigned to them, such as tubing (otherwise known as ghetto kayaking) or spending a day in downtown Asheville. Students will have the option of participating in another group's activities which Jessica encourages to be uniquely reflective of each mentors personality. By having a variety of people within HEMP the hope is that freshmen will be likely to find an individual with whom they identify among the 18 members. For more information on becoming a mentor, contact Jessica Rose at x6476 or jessica28909@yahoo.com. Seeking the Supernatural: WCU Students Take Trip to Haunted House y Traci White | WCnewsmagazine A small caravan of activity vehicles comes to a precarious halt along the edge of a ill, providing a view of a perilous drop. A cacophony of doors swinging open and slamming hut echoes as students disembark and begin to make their way up the front porch steps of he Owl's Nest Inn in Canton. The inn is nearly a forty-five minute drive from campus and is located on the east ~ gide of town. Owl's Nest is a handsome, two-story cream colored Victorian home perching briefly off the highway. However, these college students havent made this excursion in hopes of a pleasant weekend at a local bed and breakfast. They're here on a ghost hunt. The class, making the trip under the guidance of their history professor Dr. Laura Cruz, crowds into the plush furnished living room and seat themselves. A field trip of this ethereal nature is in order for the course: History of Death and Dying in Western Civilization. The courses objective is to examine death from all potential perspectives (religious, biological, mental) and put it into the context of history. As an unfamiliar woman makes her way to the front of the room, everyone's attention is redirected and urgent shushing rises from the crowd. Gail Kinney, co-owner/ resident of Owls Nest, has in her hand a VHS tape and as she settles into her high-backed chair all thirty-some pairs of eyes are anxiously upon her. She begins telling the unusual history of the home built in the late 1800's by a Confederate army captain who was looking to lead a more pleasant life following his role in the Civil War, the rolling property was bought and turned into one of the most prosperous vineyards in the southeast. For several years the captain hosted renowned parties where he wined and dined guests with his own spirits. However, this vibrancy was short-lived. During Prohibition, he was forced to discontinue winemaking altogether as officials came to the home and destroyed his entire inventory. Three days after this traumatic event, the captain unexpectedly died. Over one hundred years later, Kinney and Marg Dente came into ownership of the house with the intentions of making it into a quietly luxuriant bed and breakfast. Not long after the two women began calling Owl's Nest home, inexplicable sounds and occurrences began to transpire. Unruly laughter and a crowd of trampling feet could be heard on the staircase at all hours of the night. Alarm clocks would go off at random. Furniture would re- arrange itself: several guests have reported waking in the captains room to find their bed had walked three feet away from the wall and moved to the middle of the floor. One young couple who stayed a weekend took a now infamous photograph that further corroborated the theory of Owls Nest being haunted. While his girlfriend took his picture to commemorate their vacation, a gentleman stood on the porch smiling. Upon having the roll of film developed, the two were startled to discover a misty form distinctly resembling the tragic captain in their Kodak moment. When they showed it to the owners in hopes of a logical pala Kinney became a firm Sa tha So bbeb bbe btneens PUBS a ge ty he oy ae Taking 828 Back to the Basics: Dedicated Students Shed Brighter Light on |Hip-Hop _by Jennifer Scism | WCnewsmagazine Although everyone has a slightly ifferent taste in music, one thing is for sure: he majority of college students incorporate music into their daily lives. It is our age group hat buys a vast array of CDs and it is our ge group that is addicted to MTV, VH1, and BET. College students are a driving force for he music business today and that includes ll types of music. We listen to everything rom alternative, to country, to Hip-Hop. It is or this specific reason that it is important for all genres of music to be represented on a ollege campus. : While some types of music have wor} over the others here at WCU, Hip-Hop is "making a come back. While it is not on powet 90.5, there are some things planned for th campus future that involve Hip-Hop. Howeve his Hip-Hop is a new breed of the art. Hip: Hop, like everything else in our world, has 4 reputation to keep up. The sad thing is thal reputation has been smeared by the preponderance of the artists we see and hear : today. There is a huge anti Hip-Hop movement on the rise and it threatens the overall appearance of the music. People today do not even give the music a chance to be heard because it has caught a bad rep. : This August, on our campus, a huge effort is being made by a small group of students to bring Hip-Hop back to this campus. Not only will the music be heard, but the true essence of Hip- Hop will be expressed and hopefully accepted for what it really is: a beautiful expression of self and thought. The reality of it is that hip hop is not all about the money, cars| jewelry, and women that so many artists clair} it is about. Thats not real Hip-Hop. Its abouf being true. The rawness of the music is what if is about. It started as a movement of expression that was unlike anything heard in this country _or elsewhere. It's about being different and no} _caring what the reaction to your uniqueness is, The best part is Hip-Hop is blind to stereo types, No matter your age or your color you can be A part of the music. Everyone is officially invited to aitend e soon to come performances that ar4 cheduled to be held on campus this coming emester. Not a lot of information is knowy bout where and when the performances will e held, but there will be something fot veryone. So, if you are interested in taking part the music and appreciating it for what it is; _be sure to attend.
