By Rachel Mitchell WCnewsmagazine | The Lipizzaner Stallions are magnificent The world-famous Lipizzaner Stallions combine grace, beauty and amazement. The Stallions and their riders perfectly synced movements produced a show that not even the icy weather could stop. The skillful handlers make it seem that the stallions arent even being told what to perform as they jump, skip and dance to the worlds classical music. To begin, a single horse and rider appeared carrying the American flag as cameras flashed through the crowd. The audience was asked to join as announcer Troy Tinker sang the anthem and as the rider paraded the flag across the stage. Once the anthem was sung, Tinker gave a brief history of the how the Lipizzaner stallions came to be what they are today. It was then time for the stallions to perform. The curtain was drawn as several riders, dressed in red, appeared and began the show. Each rider performed one of several stunts that would be combined in a final performance at the end of the show. The horses fancy footwork was rewarded with applause from the audience while cameras were flashing like stars in the stands. The show continued when three riders danced theirsynchronized stallions to classical music with more applause. The rhythmic thud of the hooves with the classical music gave a performance that was majestic and inspirational. Next, it was time for stunts for which the Lipizzaner Stallions are best known. The first stunt was the Levade in which the horse raises on its back feet and maintains a 45 degree angle. The next stunt was the breathtaking Capriole in which the stallion tucks its front legs under its chest as it violently kicks it back legs. Even though it is one of the most difficult stunts to train and perform, it looked as though it was completely natural. Each stunt was performed with and without riders, once again proving the skill and training needed to complete these difficult but amazing stunts. As the show concluded, riders lined in gold came onto the stage to give a combined performance. Even though there were nearly a dozen riders on the stage, all were synchronized with each other and the music. The show combined beauty with little bits of comedy from jokes by the announcer and short bathroom breaks on stage by the Stallions. Though there was a large amount of people gathered, the stadium could have easily held more. The stadium was mostly occupied by families or groups rather than students. The only disappointment of the show was the cold and icy weather that prevented more people from attending. LMPs Poetry Slam Competition Makes a Splash! By Katie Rath * WCnewsmagazine At 8:58 pm on a Wednesday evening, | students are slowly crowding _ Illusions. Relaxing in booths, sitting on the platform steps, or huddled around small tables, the air of anticipation is becoming more distinct as the seconds tick closer to 9 oclock. Exuding a calm energy, a young man hops on stage and grabs the microphone. Welcome to the Evening of Spoken Word and Western Carolina Universitys Student Poetry Slam Competition! he announces. Cheers and clapping erupt from the audience. The young man introduces himself as Paul D, the emcee for the evening. Dorian Paul D Rogers is an English teacher/rapper/poet who won the Southern Fried Poetry Slam Individual Contest in 2005. Obsessed with his passion for spoken word, one couldn't imagine a better host of the evening. Because the contest was the focus of the evening, Paul D quickly announced the rules of the competition, selected and introduced the five student judges, and got the night underway. The contestants had the opportunity to sign up in advance in the Last Minute Productions office prior to the events, or they could sign up on site. By Wednesday night, six student poets signed up in hopes of winning a trip to the ACUI Regional Recreational Tournament being held Feb 23-25 at University of Tennessee- Knoxville, where they will compete at the next level with student poets from the Southeast. One by one, the students names were randomly drawn from a box and they were called to the stage to perform one of their pieces. Then the five judges gave them a score based on a one-to-ten-point scale. The scores were tabulated and recorded. After all poets were finished performing, the scores revealed that Rhea Lewis took first place, Robert Hooper was second place, and Tiffany Thompson came in third. LMP was delighted to announce their all- expenses paid trip to the tournament. In the brief pauses between poets, Paul D entertained the crowd with jokes, impressions, and some of his own poems. From pensive thoughts to political statements, Paul D had a lot to say to his audience with just a few words. Last Minute Productions, responsible for the majority of entertainment events on campus, sponsored the Evening of Spoken Word. There will be other Evenings of Spoken Word this semester; visit Imp.wcu.edu for a list of events. Hunter Library Offers New Way of Organizing Your Research! Hunter Library has subscribed to a new online service for the university: RefWorks Its an online tool for organizing, storing and sharing citations. Here are some ways to use it. In the early stages of research? Choose promising articles, books, websites and drop them into RefWorks folders so you can look more carefully at them later; when you search the librarys databases it's easy to export the sources you like to your RefWorks account. Writing the paper? Use RefWorks to create those pesky parenthetical references. Almost done? RefWorks can take your list of articles, books, websites and turn it into a formatted bibliographyAPA-style, MLA-style, Turabian, AMA, or any of the other 600+ styles available. And if you're doing a group project, your group can create its own RefWorks account so you can share sources. RefWorks is available through the librarys website from any computer with internet access, 24/7. Users need to create an individual account, with username and password. Our reference librarians are on hand for assistance (828-227- 7465 or toll-free at 866-928-5424), and you can also access RefWorks tutorial at http://www. refworks.com/tutorial. RefWorks is a magical resource in many ways, but for expert, human help with formatting papers (and more!), contact the Writing Center. newsmagazine SAA SALA SS LNAAS ~ jek piles a i an a i ei el, re - eat ae i re = er ee eS pct A pall meat ene el bu 2 = ~ I a a a PNA abt pl pl apelin, pet pnp, eet in, A Big a PA Oe ae ee Ole Yan ta jit a tiie al ies seit, pln ln aiintin poeta, gt, a et hatte tn se a A AE
