Picture the basketball courts of the Campus Recreation Center turned into an oceanic para- dise of dancing dolphin flip- pers, waving fish fins and swaying seaweed. Western Carolina Uni- versity. hosted its first Dance Marathon with a Dance with M Under the Sea theme to support the Greenville Childrens Hos- pital, the local Childrens Miracle Network hospital in South Carolina. Students raised money by dancing for 12 hours on Saturday, March 10 to the tunes of DJ Sandune and three differ- ent bands. Overall, the 328 dancers raised $8,196, and still counting. Joshua Cauble, executive. director for the event, got involved after hearing about the cause from former fac- ulty member of the Offices of Leadership and Student Involvement, Steve Dutton. -' Steve participated in dance marathons from when he was an undergrad, and he loved them, said Cauble.

Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center welcomed the world re- nowned Vienna Boys Choir on Tuesday, March 6. The most celebrated - choir in the world took stage under the direction of choir- Manolo Cagnin. and welcomed the sold out audience. The choir consist- ed of 23 prepubescent boys. _ The talents of the boys were masterfully show- cased in a wide range of ~ classics. The first half of the performance included 12 pieces. Not only could the boys sing, but many of . them played musical instru- ments as well. During one solo, members of the choir brought out a flute, oboe, cello and tambourine. Widerspruch, a Ger- man piece written by Franz Schubert, appeared to be a struggle for some boys. Many pieces were not in their native language and some ended up distorting their faces to make the cor- rect pronunciations. After a brief. intermis- sion, the boys were back on the stage.

In prepara- tion, they do all the work from putting together how they want the work ter. Ak the song progressed, the water started to sound like it was rushing and beat- ing up against rocks. Toward the end of the performance the choirmas- ter pulled one of the boys for a solo, which ended up _ being Can You Feel the : Love Tonight from The Lion King. Children and grandparents were seen singing along to the well- known tune. Many children in the audience were blown away displayed to planning and putting on the reception for the gallery. Philosophically, WCU is in the center of Jackson County, and we have the fa- cilities for a large art show so it makes sense for us to host, said Tapley. It is a great way to show how much art making means in K-12 schools. by the age and talent of the Vienna Boys Choir. These guys are incredi- ble. It is amazing what God- given talent they have, said Richard Creasy, 10. A local sixth grader had a hands-on learning experi- ence. We are learning how to harmonize in school and this is a great example of that. I was able listen to the different pitches and under- stand what talent they really have, said Madison Rodg- ers, 1.

At the event, the basket- _ ball courts were alive with sea-themed dcor. Paper fish and blue balloons hung across the ceiling from the basketball goals. Paper sea- weed cut-outs were pasted to the sides of the gym. There was a mermaid-meeting-a- scuba-diver photo opportu- nity, Wii play stations, Four Square, Corn Hole, hula hoops and _ never-ending dancing for 12 hours!

Every minute were out here is for the kids, said Miles Basehart, who an- - nounced important safety reminders to the dancers at the start. We're dancing for those who cant! Beach balls bounced over the crowd as the music began, and soon, a conga line formed that was over 300 dancers long. Dancer Katie Pierce said she signed on to dance for the incredible cause and to show her es for the community. - 1m worried about my back, said Nicole Smith when asked about how she would cope with 12 hours of dancing. Were going to do some yoga and exercises. Overall, the event was a smash hit of fun and service: learning. T would just like to add how appreciative I am for the entire campus to come together for this event, said Cauble. This. event would not be able to happen if it wasnt for the support of everyone around us making ~ sure this event was a suc: - cess ... Yes, this will be an annual event at Western for many years to come, and it - will get bigger and bigger!* Look for applications to join the 2013 Dance Mara- thon committee soon. USUAL ULAA As Veit ty UipUibuspenrers nee Tradio er comeback Bayleigh Davis, Copy Editor bi After suffering financial hardships, local AM radio station 680 WRGC went off the air in August 2011. The station had listeners in Macon, Swain and Jackson counties. While the station was still on the air, it covered Western Carolina Univer- sity and Smoky Mountain High School sports, as well as Atlanta Braves baseball . games. The station was well known for its Buy, Sell and Trade call-in show. In December 2011, Jackson County Commis- : sioners approved $110,000 in. Revolving Funds Loan and $179,000 in Economic Development sion to be loaned to Roy Burnette, owner of 540 Broadcasting Company. Later that month, Burnette purchased the station from the Georgia-Carolina Ra- diocasting Company. Since December, the station has been undergo- ing changes, starting with the name. The Sylva based radio station is now 540 AM WRGC. Another ma- jor change to the station is equipment. A new transmitter has been purchased. The. sta- tion will go from having 1,000 daytime watts to 5,000 daytime watts, said Burnette. WRGC plans to have a wide variety of content. The station will continue to broadcast local news, sports and weather. The obituary column will air twice a day at 8:50 am. and 4:30 p.m. Tradeo will be on live from 1 - 2 p.m., -and Legends will be on Wednesdays from 8:15 - ASIC; Commis- - 8:45 a.m. The. station en- courages older citizens to tell stories about growing up 60 to 80 years ago. The station plans on having a variety of mu- including bluegrass and mountain music in the mornings with adult, coun- try and soft rock during the day. Adult contemporary music will be heard at night: ,as well as Atlanta Braves baseball. On Sunday morn-. ings, there will be a live church service at 11 a.m., and the rest of the morning will feature gospel music: Burnette hopes to include a session on Saturday morn- ings where listeners car call in and advertise their personal yard sales. According to Burnette, the new,equipment com- bined withthe frequency should produce a stronger signal. The radio station wilk provide full service to Jackson County and should be able to reach most of Swain, Macon and Hay- wood counties, said Bur- nette. : Community members are ready for the station to be back on the air. , : T am looking forward to having the radio on at home again. Our house has been too quiet with WRGG off the air. I am also glad to know that the plan is to continue to provide ser: vices like Tradio to out community, said Melyndd Kaufman. 4 Kaufmans husband; David, worked for 686 AM as the morning talk show host. The new owner has brought David back to work with 540 AM, '540 AM WRGC plans to be on the air by the end of March: *
