~ OurTake Be heard in The Western Carolinian If this is your first time picking up The Western - Carolinian, we would like to welcome you to Western Carolina University and to our newspaper. It is a small newspaper, but we have taken on the big dogs in several award ceremonies and come away happy. Our staffis a family unit of good friends that come together on a regular basis in different events in our offices, in the classroom and out in the Jackson County community. Together, we hike through the great outdoors, see movies, volunteer at local non-profit organizations and strive to particl- pate within our community that we report on every ay. . ae os ce describe ourselves and our paper as a college newspaper [that] serves the entire college commu- nity by reporting the news, including college events and activities, providing a forum for comment and criticism and encouraging free expression as guar- anteed in the First Amendment to the Constitution in of the United States. . ae a At The Western Carolinian, we believe in the | _ policy of student run. All of our decisions fall on two Co-Editors-in-Chief with input from their sec- tion editors and staff writers. Each staff member and both Co-Editors are full-time students learning what it takes to be a journalist, photographer or designer. We encourage you, the reader, to express yourself in any form through The Western Carolinian. It is the campus newspaper for Western Carolina Univer- sity and its community, which includes all of you. As a vehicle for free inquiry and free expression in the college community, we accept all mediums of guest work, including hard-hitting news stories, pho- tographs, poetry and opinion pieces. We also offer devine obs and are currently looking for staff writ- ers. In a newspaper environment, the staff learns every day the importance of working well under pressure, making deadlines, AP style writing, being a member of a team and many other skills. ae Come find out more about us. We are located in the Old Student Union building across the street from Moore. Go through the front door, down the hall, across the expanse of the conference room to the little hallway. Our offices are there on the right. _ Follow us via Facebook or check out our website at www=westerncarolinian.com.

YOET nctoss annus IN MINUTES!) 6 By Lex Menz Co-Editor-in-Chief (Editors Note: This is an ongoing column dedicated to the adven- tures and misadventures of working as a college journalist.) .. This was my first full summer in Cullowhee and Sylva since coming to Western Carolina Uni- versity in the fall of 2009. - Soon after exams were over, I moved into a two- bedroom mobile home near the heart of Sylva and began working on the Summer issues of The Western Carolinian in my new home. Never before had I ex- perienced the mountains in the summer. I always spent my summers at my childhood home or ina big city like Raleigh. I must say staying in the mountains was better. For the first month, we avoided the nasty, oppressing heat and en- joyed cool mornings with heavy fog. For the first time in my life, I wore long-sleeved shirts and fuzzy pajama pants with bleating sheep across the fabric around the house until mid-June. My confused body shivered and formed small goose bumps until late into the : summer. By the time I started wearing shorts and sundresses, half of the summer had disap- peared. The activities available here in the summer are more enticing than those in the city. There was river rafting, hiking, Fourth of July fireworks at Lake Junaluska, the Farmers Market and all sorts of free concerts ev- ery week. Western Caro- lina University offered belly dancing instruc- . tion, the Sylva library had free movies and the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad celebrated Pio- neer Weekend. Meanwhile, work continued at The West- ern Carolinian offices with only two writers, one photographer, Ryan Alexander and myself. _ We were a small bunch, but we tackled whatever came our way. We didnt. see each other as much as during the school year from scrambling around trying to pull a 12-page _ paper together with only four writers and little advertising. Still, it was enjoyable and somewhat relaxing because of how well we all worked together. One of the biggest events we covered this summer was the public: meeting about the future construction of Old Cullowhee Bridge. As a reporter, I presented the information through this newspaper as factual. As a resident of Jackson County, I was caught up in the emotion that flew around that room as several citizens came forward to passionately defend the Cullowhee Auto Service, which may Summer in Sylva brought the Farmers Ma strawberries and other delicious goodies. or may not have to be demolished. The whole idea of the construction caused a great stir in the commu- nity and will continue to cause one until construc- tion is complete. Wheth- er or not you use the bridge to get from one place to another, you will know someone who does. Old Cullowhee Road is a major artery of our little towns, and that bridge will cause strife whether or not it also causes the removal of a few local businesses. Right now, we wait and hold our breaths to hear the latest news of which alternate the NCDOT will chose as their preferred construc- tion method. Right before school began, Co-Editor Alex- ander and I were going through Seminar Week, a week of staff bonding, team-building and train- ing for staff members Quotable We came out with a tape mea- sure and knew that it wasnt cor- rect and that we were well over 50 feet from campus. - Jeannette Owens, owner of the Mad Batter Bakery & Caf in Cullowhee.

On the schedule, we had semi- nars like Media Law, Journalism Photogra- phy, Article Critique and Investigative Reporting. Our speakers included former Editor-in-Chief and current Journalism Adviser Justin Caudell and Kelly Donaldson, a former writer for The Western Carolinian and current editor of the Crossroads Chronicle. Also during the week, the staff came together for movie nights, a welcome back party and - hiking trips. The week ended with Valley Ballyhoo on Aug. 18, where we united at atabletoencourage new students tojoin our , team in reporting West- ~ ern Carolina Univer- sity news. It was a busy, action-packed week in preparation for another amazing year at The Western Carolinian. BLSer eee ee Hee DE SE PEP EERE EERE EE HEE Se SEE ES pe fin Ss SR 4 Ga St EQUIPMENT 800.435.3865
