August 20, 2010 WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 10 FEATURES Tips for decorating your dorm room, without breaking the bank Brittney Burns | Staff Writer One of the scariest parts of moving to college is the thought of having to live ina small, plain, mundane room. The thought of having to buy cute bedding, desk accesso- ries, and a colorful shower caddy can quickly become overwhelming because of the money it seems like it will cost to make living in a dorm tolerable. Have no fear! After a little research, it has been established that anyones dorm can be decorated and decked out to the max, with- out having to break the bank; you just need to know where to look and what to look for! Everyone knows that the awkward size of the dorm beds makes it difficult to find cute, affordable bedding; luckily, retail stores such as Wal-Mart and Sears have no- ticed the need for decorative sheets and comforters for the dorm and have compiled their bedding bundle to help ease the stress of dorm deco- rating. Wal-Mart carries an 11-piece dorm room bedding set that not only includes the perfect dorm bed size sheets and comforters, but also in- cludes other dorm essentials such as: a pillowcase, bed pillow, mattress pad, wash clothes, towels, and even a laundry hamper! This conve- nient bundle was originally Brittney Burns | Staff Writer A Western Carolina Uni- versity alumni, former Cat- amount coach, and current head volleyball coach for the University of Alabama, Judy Green, will be retiring on July 01, 2011, after 14 years and 15 seasons with The Crimson Tide. With the upcoming milestone in her career approaching fast, Green took time to remem- ber where it all started here at Western Carolina Univer- sity. Green first graduated from Western in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Edu- cation; she enjoyed learning about physical education during her undergraduate studies and then pursed a masters degree in education with an emphasis in physi- cal education and graduated from Western for the second time in 1985. Currently a resident of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Green once lived in what used to be Helder Hall, which is where the new dining hall, the Courtyard, stands today. While at Western, Green lettered in 12 varsity sports and is the only athlete in WCU his- tory, male or female, to ever do so. While at Western, Green had numerous professors to influence her and shape her professional career. Among the many are Dr. Spiker, who Green described as being a phenomenal role model due in large part because of being the most physically fit person Green has ever known, and Dr. Pilch who Green declared as the most memorable pro- fessor of her college career. She boasted about his ef- fective teaching methods when it came to learning the impossible in kinesiology and joked about naming the priced at $55.00 but can now be found online or at your lo- cal Wal-Mart for $49.00. Sears also has a bedding package that is $49.99; it in- cludes dorm essentials such as twin sheets, comforter, pillow sham, a fleece throw, mini lamp with USB cord, and a plastic trashcan to match. Once you have your bed- ding covered, and have devel- oped a color scheme for your dorm, the rest is a breeze. There are a ton of places to look for cheap, appealing accessories to dress up your dorm. Once again, Wal-Mart is a great option. They carry numerous items ranging from fun Back to College rugs or mini basketball hoop and ball to hang on the back of a door, both $19.00 each, to retro lamps for your desk for $14.88. Wal-Mart is also a hot spot for things such as wall decorations and posters to curtains and clocks. While decorating your dorms with little odds and ends, dont forget about how fun and personal photos can be. Get a memory board ($7.98 at Wal-Mart) and cover it with pictures with friends from high school, and as school continues, start to replace the old high school memories with the new ones you make at Western. One of the coolest ways to find decorations for your dorm is to hit up yard sales skeleton she used in class Little P to honor Dr. Pilch. - College is a memorable time for everyone; Green still has a ton of memories that she often relives. The ma- jority of the memories Green holds dear about her days as a Catamount begin with her experiences with her volley- bali, basketball, and softball teammates. Green said, It was not the on court or on field memories that stand out, but the ones off the playing areas. Some of Greens and her teammates favorite lo- cal hot spots were Speedys Pizza and Bear Lake, where they would spend Saturday nights repelling off the cliffs. The friends she found in her teammates during her days at Western are still some of her best friends; she credits the respect they had for one another, their friendships and true team chemistry in gen- eral for being the secret to our success. Two events stand out to Green as being the most memorable times she had in college; the first being in 1983 when her team won the Southern Conference Vol- leyball Championship, for which she was named MVP, and the second being when former Coach Bob Waters personally asked her to be the head tennis and cross country coach as well as the assistant coach for the womens bas- ketball team. WCU is where Green began her coaching career when she served as the assistant coach for the volleyball team in 1984, and then the assistant softball coach, and head cross coun- try coach in 1985 before she finally traded in the Purple and Gold in 1986, when she left Western for the head vol- leyball coach position at the University of Montevallo. Green still holds several athletic titles and records to- day; a few of the many in- A vintage t-shirt can be turned into a one of a kind, totally unique pillow to dress up your dorm. and thrift stores; one per- sons junk is another mans treasure. Vintage items are definitely in style so scour your local thrift stores for old lamps and retro post- ers. One thrifty, fashionable decorating tip is to find an old t-shirt you like, maybe one of an old rock band, or just one splashed with neon colors straight out of the 80s; these can be found for as little as a quarter. After finding an awesome vintage clude: Southern Conference Volleyball Player of the De- cade for the 1980s, one of the top 20 highest career scorers for womens basketball, scor- ing more than 1,000 points in her career, member of the Southern Conference Bas- ketball Team of the Decade for the 1980s, All-American shortstop, the very first fe- male to ever be inducted into WCUs Hall of Fame, and WCUs Female Athlete of the Decade for the 1980s. Aside from being active in collegiate sports year round, Green was also extremely ac- tive in Westerns intramural program; during her time at Western she earned the title of Intramural Champion in various sports such as bad- minton, soccer, and co-ed inner tube water polo, Green teased, and let me tell you, Reid Pool was rocking when the Sharks and the Finns took the pool for a friendly game of inner tube water polo! Judy Green, center, holds a pre-season practice this sum T, stuff it with pillow cotton that runs around $2.00 a bag. Next, sew up the arms, neck line, and bottom of the shirt and then you instantly have a one of a kind, totally unique pillow to dress up your dorm. Even though Western provides students with desk chair, something as simple as switching the boring stan- dard chair for a colorful chair or even a bean bag can re- ally spice up your room! Tar- Green thankfully ex- plained that every experience she has at Western prepared her to coach at the collegiate level. She was mentored by what she described as being some of the greatest coach- es, who were also great peo- ple. Green spoke of her for- mer coaches, Trish Howell and Betty Peele, as being the inspiration behind being able to teach the game she loved so much. She explained that their sacrifices on a daily basis taught me how to be- lieve in myself even more than I did before I arrived at WCU. Instead of remember- ing how busy playing three sports kept her, the optimis- tic Green explained that the diversity allowed her to take on a perspective of balance which she has since imple- mented in her life. She also credits the first hand experi- ence with sports she gained from being a Catamount has enabled her to show student- mer with her players. as little as $15.99, but keep your eye open for cheaper ones at yard sales! Lastly, to add the final touch to your new and im- proved dorm room, check out the Catamount Clothing and Gift store on campus to add a little Catamount pride to your room. Aside from the newest WCU t-shirts and other clothing, The Cata- mount Clothing and Gift store has a ton of items to athletes how to enjoy life and utilize their talents. Greens last visit to West- erm was nearly a decade ago when she spoke at her high school alma maters (Tus- cola High School) 2001 graduation, which was held in the Ramsey Center. Even though some time has passed since her last visit, and tre- mendous changes have just recently occurred, Green be- lieves that the biggest change Western has experienced is in the evolution of the campus. Even after traveling to nu- merous colleges throughout her coaching career, Green declared, It [WCU campus] still is one of the most beau- tiful schools in North Caro- lina.

So while you are out shop- ping for all your dorm neces- sities keep your eyes open for a good deal and dont forget your focal thrift stores and yard sales. Decorating your dorm is a rite of passage into the college world and should be fun and exciting and with these tips it should definitely prove to be so. makes you happy, but there will have to be sacrifices made along the way, and you must be willing to make sac- rifices and stay the course. With a 14 year run with the University of Alabamas Crimson Tide Volleyball team coming to an end, Green predicts endless pos- sibilities for the future; she expects to pursue another collegiate level coaching/ teaching position, and has even welcomed the possibil- ity of taking six months off to re-evaluate her professional goals before choosing the next course, and said, but I most likely expect the course will choose me. Wherever the future takes Green, and whatever it may hold for her, she can always be certain that she has a home here amongst fellow Cata- mounts, who are both proud of and inspired by her past success and wish her all the best in future endeavors.
