Jackson County is bustling with activities By Caleb Gray : Set Mel A quick glance eae the Cullowhee/Sylva/ Dillsboro area will leave anew student wonder- ing, What is there to _ do? However, a harder look and a little guidance from older students will supply these questioning minds answers. Indeed, there are activities to keep the Western Caro- lina student occupied . when they are not other- wise slaving over.a Word document. :. At Western Carolina University, the A.K. Hinds University Center hosts an array of events, usually free, for stu- ' dents to enjoy. Students can find the Events and Programs Calendar on the University Centers webpage on the WCU website. The programs include events from Last Minute Produc- tions, Arts and Cultural Events and Base Camp Cullowhee. Last Min- ute Productions (LMP) brings concerts, mov- des, giant plow-tips and other fun entertainment to Western Carolina s. campus. Every week- * end, LMP brings a new | movie to the ay ater By Lex Menz Land Ryan Alexander Co-Editors-in-Chief 1. No one really knows what a Catamount is. Is it a bobcat, a cougar . or something in be- tween? Paws, our mas- cot, clearly looks likea bobcat with his stubbed tail and ears. Then again, he could bea lynx. According to Free Dictionary, catamounts are short-tailed wild- cats with usually tufted ears or large Ameri- can felines resembling lions. That.did not help in the slightest! 2. WCU stands for We Carry Umbrellas Pick yourself out some rain boots and a big, sturdy umbrella at Wal-Mart. You are going to need it! In the temper- ate rainforest that is the Appalachian Mountains, rain falls on a regular basis, and it usually causes soaked feet and homework without the proper attire. Also, . watch out for the wind. During quite a few rain- storms, the wind kicks up, and your umbrella will take it out on you ei- ther becoming destroyed entirely or dousing you with rain as it does the Chicken Dance in the wind. > 3. Parking sucks > We live in the moun- tains. That means that the several parking ga- rages of other UNC- Sys- tem schools can physi- eally not be build here. So get out of bed early for the ever exciting circling around campus looking for a parking space. Pret- ty soon, you will know eampus like the back of your hand. And heres a secret, parking is no fun at any university, so if you think your friends at UNC-Greensboro find awesome spots every } _ campus.and offers where students pay only _ $2 to see the movie and enjoy a free popcorn and | drink. Arts and Cultural - Events (ACE) also spon- sors concerts, speakers, - writers and other enjoy- able cultural events. Base Camp Cullowhee (BCC) allows students to enjoy the beautiful out- doors surround campus with hiking trips, raft- ing trips, camping trips and more at a reduced rate. BCC also rents out ' outdoorsy equipment for great prices to Western students. Students can also take advantage of the natural beauty of the area as well through outdoor activities. Many of the rivers and lakes in Jack- son County are perfect areas for fishing and swimming. The Tuckas- eegee River offers plenty of space and fish, includ- ing trout, for fly-fishing. There are also several hiking trails like Pan- ther Town and Pinnacle Peak. The Blue Ridee Park- | .. way is not too far from eae Beene y for ans with friends: iy hiking - hookah stores to c choco- a bartering on her own favorites like Water- rock Knob or Graveyard Fields with its multiple waterfalls and swim-: _ ming holes. As Western Carolina University students, we live ina gorgeous area of natu- ral mountain beauty, so take several opportuni- ties to get out and see it. Base Camp Cullowhee and Jackson Countys website, www.mountain- lovers.com, both have plenty of information on what exactly is out there and where to find it. Students can also take in Downtown Sylva and Dillsboro for different events, shopping and eat- ing. The Jackson County Library offers free mov- ies every other week, and Downtown Sylva: will host events, such as concerts. Students may also apply for Jackson County Library cards if they would like a.change of scenery from Hunter Library. There are also plenty of local business in both Sylva and Dillsboro ranging from music and day to barely walk three steps to their classes, they most certainly do not. 4, You know you want to : For whatever reason, the CatTran system has a bad rap. Some students flat out refuse to take the buses, dubbing them The Fat Tran. In all honesty, the buses are a safe and easy way to travel around campus as long as you know the routes. The drivers are friendly and love making conversation with their passengers. Whether you ride them or not, you still pay for their fees in your tuition, so you might as well use them. 5. Dining Services will never cook like your mom College is a huge adjustment, and one of the. biggest adjustments is getting your stomach used to all the new food. Some students enjoy the upstairs Courtyard Din- ing Hall; some students would not be caught dead there. Others are just happy that Dodson was mowed over by a bulldz- er. Remember that the food at Western Carolina will never taste as amaz- ing as your moms, but Campus Dining Services works hard every day to provide meals for thousands of people. Your good attitude about trying their food could make their day. If you cannot stomach that, there is anew Dairy Queen in Sylva. 6. Dont believe those guys Western Carolina University has a repu- tation of being a one year school, meaning freshmen stay a year then transfer. It is also referred to as a Suitcase School because every- one believes that stu- dents ditch thelr dorms and pack up for home ev- ery weekend. According to Jeff Hughes, director of the University Center, the numbers say oth- erwise. However, WCU cannot seem to shake the complaint that But, theres nothing to do here. Here is something to do for every day of the week: swimming in Balsam Lake, painting pottery at Claymates in Dillsboro, hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway, shopping at Peebles for - anew outfit, browsing for books then getting a delectable crepe at The City Lights Bookstore and Caf, volunteering at any number of non-profit organizations in the area and tubing down any part the Tuck or Deep | Creek. And, that is just your first week at school. Wait until winter hits! 7. Prepare for the new season, Catamount foot- . ball fans! Our football program is improving... we think. We got a new football coach after the dreadful Dennis Wagner era, so at least give our players a chance on Saturdays - this fall. Last year, at- tendance was not very good as students gave up on the team and refused show up for games. Don't be a Negative Nelly. Put on your purple shirts and gold face paint and head out to the stadium to support our boys. 8. No gold-black combi- nations allowed _- Even if your mother is the President of Appala- chian State, you are not allowed to wear black and gold in Cullowhee. The. unofficial motto of WCU is "Take Down App," which should give you a clear idea of stu- dents feelings about that school in Boone. Gold is an acceptable color here around Jackson County Waltome to your new home in then mountains of North Carolina. items, and she runs a weekly auction.

The Battle for the Old Mountain Jug will be held in Cullowhee this year, which will be a great opportunity to ruin App's season when the Cats pull off the me set victory. 9. Are we snowed i in yet? There seems to bea curse when it comes to exam and break weeks. Snow appears out of thin air whenever it learns that Western Carolina - University is about to let their students go free. In 2009, students : were snowed in at WCU after school was out for Christmas, and the exam schedule had to be postponed until Janu- ary. Then, classes were postponed for nearly a week in January of 2011 because a blizzard hit - and no one could drive back to Cullowhee. Dear weather forces of nature, please allowed us to not be snowed in and always be snowed out. There is no such thing as too long File Photo of a Christmas break. _ 10. Catamounts are proud animals Be proud to bea Catamount, you do not - know how lucky you are! We students here do not know how good we have it. We go to a good school with a beautiful campus that you can walk across fairly easily, is not all that far from two ma- jor metropolitan areas (Atlanta and Charlotte) and has a good athletic program. What more could you ask for out of a collegiate experience?
