New class times do not make sense By Russell Conover + Wenewsmagazine During the fall 2006 semester, class times at Wester Carolina University will undergo a change. Some courses will maintain thelr starting times on the hour or the haif hour, but others will move to various time Intervalssuch as five, ten, oF fifteen minutes past the hourthroughout the day. According to the University Registrar's office, this change will occur because the Office of the Provost, or University Administrator, mandated a fifteen-minute break between each class, rather than a ten-minute one. AS a result, the class times on Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be different throughout the day. Although the morning times on Tuesday and Thursday are unaffected because they already allow fifteen minutes between classes, there will be a twenty-minute lunch break" during the middie of the day. Therefore, the times of the afternoon classes will be different. The slightly longer amount of time to change classes could be nice if a student were walking from lower campus to upper campus, or vice versa ART STUDENTS & FACULTY SUPPORT THE EMPTY BOWL On April 28, 2006, The Community Table will conduct its first Empty Bow!" fund raising event, The essence of this event will be the production and donation of bowls by local pottery aitists, the providing of soups, breads, and desserts by local food service providers, and the serving of the food at The Community Table. When people come to the Empty Bow! event at The Community Table they may select a bow! made by a student, an alum, or a faculty member. One of those faculty members, Jeff Oestreich was recently artist-in-residence at Western Carolina University. He is an acclaimed potter who resides in Minnesota. His Jeff Oestreich: New Ceramics exhibit was displayed in the Fine Art Museum at WCU's Fine and Performing Arts Center from January 26 through March 25. His pottery is exhibited all over the world, mostly in Korea. Oestreich is the recipient of numerous grants and awards, including a prestigious fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, He has given clay workshops throughout the United States and Canada, as well as in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Venezuela. To view examples of his pottery on the web, visit. http://akardesign.com/art/ceramicsioestreich/oestreich.htm. Jeff made some bowls especially for the Empty Bow! Event, One of those and a bow! made by Cat Jackson, will be raffled off at the end of the evening. Tickets for this raffle will be available at the event. Within the Department of Art at Westem Carolina University is a series of courses in ceramics. The faculty consists of Joan Byrd, Professor of Art, and George Rector. Under their guidance and teaching, ten intermediate/advanced ceramics students and one recent alumnus submitted bowls for The Empty Bow!" event of The Community Table. These talented students are donating some 90 bowls for this event. Attendees will have an opportunity to talk to some of them as they will be volunteers at The Empty Bowl Event. The students are: Laura Arkansas, Kristin Calder, Heldi Carlson, Brandon Clouts, Dalton Huges, Sara Hudgins, Leslie Modlin, Barbara Murray, Jennifer Patterson, and Preston Tolbert. The alum is Andrew Avakian, The courses in the ceramics program provide a full range of knowledge and skils appropriate to operate a ceramics studio including producing custom designed tiles as well as dinner ware, jugs, vases and other decorative pieces. The ceramics studio has a variety of kilns and other equipment. Visiting artists are drawn from the region as well as nationwide, and the annual Godtrey Seminar in the Business of Crafts addresses the business aspects of operating a studio. Student ceramics sales each semester help to fund student attendance at statewide and national clay conferences, and field trips to nearby studios and galleries draw on the rich resources of western North Carolina in both traditional and contemporary ceramics. Joan and George operate Caldonia Pottery in Cullowhee where they WCnewsmagazine 11 COMMENTARY However, an extra five minutes will not have a tremendous impact on students getting to their classesand it will not really provide enough time to enjoy a lunch break" on Tuesday and Thursday. Also, the new times will be more difficult to remember because not all classes will begin on the hour or the half hour as they have in the past, The university would have been better off retaining the time schedule for classes it has used for years. These class times are easy to remember and logical, meaning that people can determine them without much trouble even if they do not know the regular times for classes at WCU. By giving students an extra five minutes to get to classes (some of the time), the starting times for classes get thrown off throughout the day. As a result, the times for classes are more difficult to remember. There does not seem to be enough positive results to justify changing the class times, but students and faculty will simply have to get used to the new schedule beginning in the fall. PRESS RELEASE use a wood kiln to finish their pottery. Joan and George are well known by all the potters in Western North Carolina, many of whom have been students of theirs. They have produced a number of bowls especially for this event. Joan has served as chair of the Art Department at WCU. She earned a MFA degree from the University of Wisconsin. She has shown her work at a number exhibits, has made several presentations including at the Corning Museum of Glass, and has published a number of articles. George eared his BA degree at Western Carolina University. The bowls produced by these academics and students, along with those produced by local artists, will be sold for $15 and then the soup served in them. Seconds are allowed. Attendees will want to be there to get their beautiful bowl, enjoy the soups concocted by the best chef's in the area, listen to the live | entertainment, and give something back to their community. Bowls will be available anytime from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM. Serving and local entertainment will start at 4:00 PM. Park in the parking lots around The Sylva Church of Christ. For tickets, call 586-6782 and ask for Christina Smith. The Community Table is a volunteer effort to provide nutritious meals for members of the community who can use a helping hand for some of their meals. These meals are provided at little or no cost to the individuals, although it is suggested that patrons make a donation of a dollar or more, to the extent they can afford it. In addition, The Community Table experience provides fellowship for the patrons and, in small ways, improves their quality of life. Most of the work of providing these meals is performed by volunteers. if you would like to volunteer, provide supplies, or contribute financially to this worthy effort please call 586-6782. The Community Table is located at 127 Bartlett Street, Syiva, North Carolina and is open on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Ceramics instructor George Rector holds one of the bowls made by WCU ceramics students.
