WCU Relay for Life a big hit By Russell Conover * WCnewsmagazine WCU and the surrounding community gathered on the evening of Friday, April 7 through the morning of Saturday, April 8 on the University Center lawn for the 2006 Relay for Life. The Relay, whose theme was Cats fight back against cancer, was a big hit since lots of people attended. Many were college students, but there were also young children, adults, senior citizens and a number of dogs, as well. A number of attendees of the Relay were part of teams who have raised money for cancer research throughout the year. These teams included various Campus clubs and organizations, numerous fraternities and sororities and groups from the community. Several of these groups set up tents in which they continued to fundraise, and they set up various things to do. There was a real sense of camaraderie during the night because everyone had the common goal of fighting against cancer. Festivities kicked off at 7:00 p.m. when the Relay staff greeted the crowd and announced the schedule for the night. The first official portion of the Relay was the Survivor Lap, in which all cancer survivors in attendance circled the track as the spectators applauded. Next, the teams walked a lap to display the team banners they had created and to show their commitment. People continued to circle the track until 7:00 the next moming to symbolize the fight against cancer. There were lots of things to do at the Relay in addition to walking around the track. Several live singers and bands performed, and a DJ made their music blast over the entire lawn, along with some prerecorded songs. One team's booth showed movies throughout the night, and another had set up a boxing area in which people fought with padded gloves. A popular attraction was laser tag, in which people went into a large inflatable maze to play the game. So, plenty of fun activities were around the Relay during the night The attendees observed a moment of silence during an instrumental WCnewsmagazine song to honor those touched by cancer, and a real sense of unity emerged because of the bond created. A luminary ceremony also took place, in which candles inside paper bags were lit and placed all around the track. Each bag Fepresented someone affected by cancer, whether a survivor or someone who unfortunately lost the battle against the disease. Both of these events paid tribute to the many courageous people affected by cancer. A memorable Miss Relay pageant also allowed several she-males, or men dressed as women, to strut their stuff. The ladies all sported some female-specific enhancements, and they received great reactions from the onlookers at the Relayand also during halftime of the football game, where they got to flaunt themselves in front of the crowd. The girls definitely added. their distinct flavor to the Relay, and for that they are thanked. Many people stayed overnight on the lawn, continuing to walk laps around the track and support cancer research. The closing ceremonies for the Relay were at 6:30 on Saturday moming, and they ended an event that was beneficial to not only the people in attendance, but also the thousands ients across the country who depend on cancer research that the Relay As a whole, the 2006 Relay for Life at Western Carolina University was positive, inspiring and memorable ceremony. Attendees united in a special way to signify their common interest in fighting to make cancer a thing of the past. This year's Relay made a difference in the lives of hundreds of people, and it will certainly be remembered by everyone. Real World cast members discuss real issues By Kelsey Reynolds + Wenewsmagazine Love it or hate it, we've all heard of it: MTV's reality show sensation, The Real World. The Real World began in 1992 with the New York cast. Itis the true story of seven strangers who are picked to live in a random location (past locations have included New Orleans, Boston, London and Miami) and have their lives filmed while they are there. The cast members have to live together, obtain jobs together and even travel together. The show is all about how they interact how they feel about each other on an honest level when they are alone with the cameras. The controversies of their lives provide us with entertainment for a half an hour every Tuesday night, and some of the things that they get into are pretty unbelievable. This isn't surprising when the show takes seven people, aging from 18 to 24, and gives them a nice house to live in. Their only responsibility is to be entertaining and go to an easy job once every so often. On Tuesday, March 21, Danny and Melinda, two cast members of the Real World: Austin who began to date while on the show, came to WCU to give a presentation on issues that face college students today. The presentation was held in the UC Grand Room and was free to anyone who wanted to attend. The attendance was less than expected, but still a good number of people showed up. The first part of the presentation was on safe sex, Danny and Melinda showed clips from various seasons that dealt with some of the cast members making some tough and bad decisions about sex. Danny and Melinda then elaborated on the clips and on their personal experiences with decisions on whether or not to have sex, use of protection and birth control, and STD. prevention, The presentation continued in the same manner with Danny and Melinda showing clips about responsible drinking. The film clips dealt with cast members getting alcohol poisoning and dealing with alcoholism and embarrassment. Danny and Melinda then asked for everyone who had ever gotten drunk to raise their hand and talked about how the issues that they were bringing up in their presentation really are something that could happen to WCU students. Danny spoke about the need to watch your drink at parties and bars and gave an example of his own experiences with getting roofied at a club in Charlotte. The presentation ended on an unusual note. When speakers like this come to campus, the sex, drugs and alcohol topics are very expected, and while Danny and Melinda did focus on these aspects, they ended the presentation with a talk on dealing with grief. They showed a clip from their season of the Real World, when Danny learns that his mother in Boston has passed away while he is filming in Austin. Danny spoke about his experience with his mother and gave suggestions on how to. cope when something happens to a family member. He reiterated that death is a real issue and that it will happen to someone you love some day; we are all going to have to learn to deal with it at one point or another. Danny and Melinda then opened the floor to questions from students about various things from Danny getting into a physical fight on camera to the Real World's casting process to their engagement and upcoming wedding. The issues that they spoke about really could hit close to home and they truly could happen to anyone. After all, the cast members of the Real World were once just like you and me - college students leading regular, ordinary lives until they answered a random casting call and had a great deal of luck.
