Valley Ballyhoo takes place on the UC Lawn from 4:30 p. m. until 7 p.m: on Saturday. - While the origins of Valley Ballyhoo are somewhat shrouded in mystery, the event seemingly got its origins in 1992 through the - efforts of Dr. Bill Haggard of the Office of _ Student Affairs, Since then, the annual Valley Ballyhoo event has become a staple in West-: erns Week of Welcome. In its essence, Valley Ballyhoo is an event that strives to get information to students about clubs, organizations and local vendors. Over the years the event has seen its own group and vendor participation increase with the growing student population. Kim Corelli, University Center Office Manager, related that Valley Ballyhoo was a successful event from the get-go, but has never been as successful as it is today. Corelli and her department work to sign student organizations, vendors, and bands to come and interact with the students arriving on campus. While a band has yet to be confirmed for the event this year, some of the groups. that conn get a table each ly include From Staff Reports The events that will make up this years Western Carolina Universitys Week of Wel- come can be found in a day-by-day calender on Pg. 6 of this section.

Summer _ has gone by all too quickly, as always. Now _ everyone must re-enter an academic state of mind and hopefully recover from fun in the | sun, vacations and probably not a lot of wak- _ ing up early. But before one can exercise the brain and fully concern himself/herself with scholastic issues, there are some useful things to know. To aid both new and returning students to _ Western Carolina in this, The Western Caro- linian has packed this issue with feature ar- ticles ranging from some need to know rules and changes at WCU, tips for survival and a guide to useful locations and activities on and around campus. On such location is the Student One Stop n the Killian Annex Buildingthe ultimate esource for both returning and new students, Here, students can inquire about financial aid, eceive a CatCard, see an academic advisor, onsult student records, and even seek em- loyment. A trip to the One Stop is the first tep to becoming acquainted with campus. One of the first issues students may encoun- "ter at WCU is parking. Nothing can damper a emester and bring on anger as much as park- . ing tickets and wheel locks. They are inconve- _ nient and expensive, but luckily, avoidable. It. _ jis the responsibility of the students to be aware _ of policies. Maps, located at One Stop, show | - what parking is designated for commuters, _ residents, faculty/staff, and overflow.
