NINGS 4 ry ry Ba 3 = L lars ry - 5 ry . Hispanic Heritage Month By Katie Rath wenewsmagazine Bienvenidos! Welcome! Since September 15, greeters at the door of the Hispanic Heritage Month events have been warmly welcoming all who were eager to learn. With over 27 activities relating to Hispanic culture, Hispanic Heritage Month offered an event for every type of interest. This is the third year WCU celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month. However, the celebrations are not only local; the festivities occur all over the nation. On September 17, 1968, a Joint Resolution was passed by the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives designating National Hispanic Heritage Week, claims the Hispanic Heritage Month Web site. The site also explains that the observance of the week was extended to a month of celebration in 1988. The celebrations begin annually on September 15, the anniversary of the independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Western Carolina University professor Patricia Hackett is responsible for bringing the celebration to WCU. Upon moving to the area, Hackett noticed that there was nothing going on to celebrate diversity. When she began Hispanic Heritage Month at WCU, her concern to educate students was coupled with her desire to unite the students and the community. "I was looking for an avenue to keep students connected, she said. However, Hackett wasn't prepared to take on Hispanic Heritage Month by herself. When she realized there was community interest, she began asking local businesses and committees to support the events of the month. Some, like the Jackson County Arts Council, have been involved all three years, she said. Each year more support is offered to the Hispanic Heritage Month Committee. This year there were over 35 community sponsors, Companies and organizations can get involved through sponsoring events, adding to the fund, or donating food. Guadalupes Caf and El Pagifico are two such companies that volunteered refreshments this year. Some organizations, ite Cullowhee Methodist Church, help out by hosting presentations. Students also helped out when necessary. This year, third-year Spanish students acted as translators at one Hispanic Heritage Month event, the First Annual Latino Health Fair. Hackett is encouraged by the student's involvement in the celebrations. Because one of her original purposes was to increase community students! interaction, she wants students to get involved any way they can. Those who attend the events are not required to speak Spanish, but there are plenty of opportunities to speak with members of the Hispanic community if you are interested in sharpening your language skills. Hundreds of WCU students and staff, community leaders, and Hispanic families attend the variety of events offered each year. And each year, people outside of the Hispanic culture are given the opportunity to lear more about another culture. Hispanic Heritage Month will culminate on Sunday, October 15 at the Swain County for the Arts, located in Bryson City. For more information about this event or Hispanic Heritage Month, please visit www.wcu.edul as/MFL/hhmiindex.asp. Western prepares for 2007 Relay for Life By Russell Conover WGnewsmagazine Western Carolina University is preparing for another big Relay for Life event, scheduled for Friday, April 13, on the UC lawn. The Relay is a fundraiser for cancer research, and it has seen tremendous responses from the WCU campus and the surrounding area. Because the Relay goes towards such a great cause, everyone is encouraged to take part in the Relay for the new year. The website for the 2007 Relay for Life, located at http:/www. acsevents.orgirelay/wcu, makes it easy for people to contribute or to Participate in the event. The site now features improved navigation that makes it easy to get involved as an individual or a team and to make a donation in the name of an individual. WCU is fortunate to have such an advanced website for the Relay available, and it will play an important role in the fight against cancer. Teams are now forming for the 2007 Relay, and the interest of groups on campusalong with several off campusis admirable and impressive, Whether special-interest clubs, campus departments, Greek organizations, or other groups, everyone is united by their common goal to annihilate cancer once and forall. For the Relay, people temporarily set aside any differences they may have in the hopes of funding the essential research to cure this disease. During the 2006 Relay for Life, the community of Western Carolina University raised more than $18,000. This number is spectacular since every penny is used to fight cancer and make people healthy again. For the 2007 event, though, WCU hopes to increase that total to $20,000 in order to give cancer research the full funding it requires. Given the enthusiasm and commitment from the areas people already, this goal is certainly within reach, and WCU Relay participants look forward to another productive year. Disc golf puts a spin on an old game By Zachary Colburn + Wenewsmagazine Anew game has been sweeping the nation over the last couple of years; itis called disc golf. Disc golf combines the distance of golf with the accuracy and wind factor of playing Frisbee. (On Sept. 29, Western Carolina University cut the ribbon on the university's first disc golf course. The participants in the tournament started out the course on the ld intramural field behind Reid Gym in groups of four, and each person was responsible for keeping their own score. Every hole was a par 3 which means that if the Frisbee disc goes in the basket or is supported by the chains hanging in the basket in less than three throws, the player starts out with a negative number; the object of the game is to complete the nine- hole course in the least amount of throws. WesternCarolinian The Western Carolinian had a chance to cover the first four throwers who took on the course. The throwers were all of different experience levels, starting from throwers who just picked up a disc for just the first or second time, to throwers who have been playing for months or even years, The game was not as much for competition as it was for bettering ones self. The hardest hole was the seventh hole because it was 420 feet away and it was very hard to see the basket; all four participants had trouble with this hole as they all were over par by at least one or two throws. Disc golfis starting to catch on at Western Carolina, and it will only be a matter of time before they start hosting actual tournaments with other competing schools.
