  • city By Maliary Warner WCnewsmagazine Western North Carolina is expanding, which also means that WCU will expand with it. As of right now. | have mixed views on the expansion. | know that some peoples main reason for coming to this school was because it was small. In fact, that was one of the reasons | decided on this school with its small campus, small classes and more hands-on learning. When expansion happens, its going to mean bigger class sizes and less of a hands-on experience, not to mention the loads of construction thats already going on. Those are some of the negatives. The positives include a bigger campus and a bigger town with more things to do, | guess. | dont actually know what they could put around here, but something is better than nothing most of the time, right? The main question that Im asking and would liked answered would be, why expand Western North Carolina? To make it more of a tourist spot? Or to make the big dogs in Raleigh listen and pay more attention to what this region of the state has to say. | just know that when I think of the mountain region and Cullowhee, quiet, peaceful and calm come to mind. | cant imagine this place being anything big. One of the main things that catches my attention is the expansions effect on local business. Small businesses are the back bone of this country. Even if or when the big dogs come along, it probably wont compare to anything that the local businesses can provide. Thats another great thing about the mountains; the people in the community care about what happens to each other. In the end, in my mind, Im always thinking that bigger is better. If the region grows then that means more opportunity for everyone. Im not from a very big town myself, but Cullowhee makes my hometown of Asheboro look like New York City to some degree. My final view of the expansion ordeal is that | wouldnt really mind it. What could be so wrong with making this region bigger, brighter and in the end better? But, its just my view of things. Seriously, what do | know? I've only lived here since the end of August, and I'll be gone in December. is Western growing for the better? By Luke Butchart WCnewsmagazine ine newsmag Be Pd Expansion may bring bright lights, big Ej ansion good in the long run By Kelsey Reynolds * WCnewsmagazine Western Carolina University has expanded a great deal in the past few years. The number of students pouring in seems to grow rapidly each year and the school is now finding itself faced with the problem of where to put all these new people. Not only has the new dormitory, Central Drive, been completed in the past year to house the massive amounts of new students, but the Village has also helped with the problem by housing many of the Universitys Greek organizations and other organizations. Housing has not been the only thing affected by the sudden explosion of Western Carolina Universitys popula- tion. Transportation around campus has also been affected. Does anyone else remember when you had to walk back to your dorm from the Freshman parking lot? Students are not plagued with this problem anymore with the introduction of the Cat Tran, the mini vans that run all day long from various spots all over campus, and then Cat Mobile, the mini vans that run during the night for students who need them. Lately, you can even hear ads for Western Carolina on the radio and see them on the side of the highway in the form of billboards. The expansion of WCU has done a lot for the Cullowhee area and espe- cially for the Sylva area. Businesses are enjoying the bigger student popula- tion in a big way and having more people around this area means having its downsides. More people on a small campus means a good deal of overcrowding. Some dormitories have been forced to house people in kitchens and stud- ies in past years. The competition for seats in good classes at decent times has also become fiercer with the growing number of students. The upside of this though is that more buildings for classes are being built that are more updated, such as the new Fine and Performing Arts building. While everything is not perfect, there is still plenty of time to work out the kinks. | think this expansion is good for both the university, and the surround- ing communities. | have been here at Western for more than the thinning four-year expectation. | dont have a degree yet, but hopefully that will all change in December. | am writing this today because maybe | can answer a few of the new classs questions, and maybe | can get a few of my questions answered as well. When | moved into Hooterville my freshman year, | noticed right away that less than half of the stu- dents at Western do not stay here for the entire ride. | wondered why because | enjoyed the tranquility the school offered and the peace | experienced while be- ing here. Today, the small, quiet mountain school is relatively the same. A few months into the fall semester, a couple of friends and | drove up to Boone on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The drive was amazing, the leaves were brightening and the air was loosening its humid hold left over from the summertime. We went out of our way to take the Parkway because that is what we en- joyed, to see more green passing the windows than billboards and used car dealerships. However, when we reached App State it was like walking out of a closet and into a carnival. After visiting with friends and seeing a football game, we all decided it was time to go home. Boone was a different place, filled with gift shops and stores and thousands of mountain homes. | remember dis- tinctly one awkwardly placed Holiday Inn, sitting up high on a hill overlooking the town like a watchtower. | just couldn't see myself there like | saw myself here at Western, where | can get a quiet night with crick- ets and a stream and not hear a passing car or a drunken wail. | havent been back to Boone since that weekend. Four years later and Western is basically the same as it was. | do see slight changes, ones that | dont enjoy and | dont think many other veterans of this place do either. What makes this school so special is its size. That is the one aspect that attracted me, along with it being set in a place so beautiful and se- rene. | wonder what is going through the minds of the organizers who have planned and developed the construction on campus. There are supposed to be some ceremonies for the grand opening of the fine and performing arts building, according to Dean Robert Vartebedian, with famous musical acts and performers. But is that really what Western needs, to have Jay Leno out in the parking lot on a stage doing a comedy bit in a town hes never heard of? Leno might fit in at App State, but | dont believe he belongs at Western. Times are changing, but | think the North Carolina school system messed up when it demanded that Western become something it shouldn't be. In this case, | believe preservation is key. New buildings, classes, majors and faculty might help bring new students here, but its driving many away at the same time. Right now Western isnt the school to attend if you're expecting clothing stores and Applebee's and Shoney's. Its the place to go if you want to see more green than concrete, breathe fresh air and know friendly people. I'd like to see it stay that way.
