B2 February 22, 2013 CAMPUS LIFE The Western Carolinian WCU celebrates Black History Month Sandra'Nikula Staff Writer On Feb. 4-6, Western Carolina University spon- sord a festival in honor of Black History Month. The celebration was held inthe Grandroom of the University Center and consisted of a vast display of items ranging from historical pieces to African artifacts. This event was chock full of information about the struggles African Ameri- cans have experienced as well as the many accomplishments they have attained throughout American history. James Felton of the Department of Intercul- - tural Affairs coordinat- ed the festival. Black History Month is important to me as a black professional, Felton said, but also, its part of our American his- tory, and so its important to celebrate and remem- ,ber all of the accomplish- _ ments and achievements of black Americans. The festival was a lot of work putting together. I hope folks came in and actu- ally learned things from the presentations and the displays that were up here. | Indeed, the people who - attended the festival did Displays like these decorated the Grandroom for the festival honoring Black History Month. seem to take everything in and gain some knowl- edge from the items that were presented. Various. topics were addressed during the duration of the festival. Several of these subjects included. the misrepresentation. of African Americans in the media, slavery, the Civil Rights Move- ment and an account of the fraternities and sororities in the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Freshman Dalton Hum- mer related to us his thoughts on the festival. Freshman Dalton Hummer said, I was extremely interested in the festival as soon as I walked in the door. Its extremely in depth, especially with how it explains culture and the history of fraternities. Its got anything that you want to know from the first women to do anything of the African American race. Its just an amazing event that they put on every year, and I wish that more Photo by Chris Ward/STAFF people would come to it. Along with the exhibi- tion, there was a pre- sentation about hip-hop conducted by Carl Moore. In his seminar, Moore . educated the audience about the elements of hip-hop and informed them of the misguided images that are associ- ated with it like prison and iistresliine women. He explained how music has a considerable influ- ence on culture, and that a greater appreciation of music and culture comes through education. T have a love-hate relationship with it . [Black History Month], Moore replied. I love the promotion of any culture, especially if its the his- tory of a group of people , that are usually looked at in a negative and destruc- tive manner. I like that, but I do not like that its, just a month. The month is because of the lack of images and content in _ our education system. Black History Month is very important, but I think we need to be very cautious about how we educate people about backgrounds of black history, said Moore. Some peoples perspec- tive of black history is slavery and Martin Luther King, and the struggle to now. I think that isa very critical part of our history, but black history extends beyond that to tribes of Africa, to dynasties and kings and queens. If we learn history holistical- ly, then we have a more positive look on a culture other than one that just comes from oppression. Sandra. Nikula Staff Writer Do you have the desire to get out and get in tune with nature, but are stuck on campus without | a car? Well now you have the opportunity to go hiking without having to n Saturday, Feb. 23, Base Camp Cullowhee will be hosting the grand opening for their new .- .trail. This trail will _ lead you to the wooded area Western Carolina University owns behind the Health and Human Sciences building, and can be accessed on the main campus. ey - Josh Whitmore, associ- ate director of outdoor programs at Base Camp Cullowhee, explained the project in more detail. We are mostly done now, Whitmore said. There are just a few de- mands to tie up, such as installing the signs and trail markers. According to Whit- more, the trail was a hybrid project witha combination of work from volunteers and professional contrac- The new trail stretches across Airport Rd. near the newly developed West Campus. tors that resulted ina completion of about 1,500 volunteer hours. Making a trail in- volves way more work than people think it does, Whitmore said. The contractors de- signed the trail, and the volunteers did the vegeta- tion removal. After the vegetation was cleared, _ the contractors came with small machines that removed dirt in order to create a flat surface to walk on. Then the vol- unteers came back with hand tools to do the shap- ing (i.e. cutting roots out of the way and putting leaves back on the trail). Whitmore said that the route contains two access points. The first one is in | the lower part of main campus near the softball field and picnic area. At this trail head, there is a tunnel that extends under Highway 107. The other point is located near the Health and Hu- man Sciences building. Both of these spots lead to the forest where'the trail is situated. When asked about his thoughts on the trail, ., Photo by Chris Ward/STAFF Whitmore replied, We think its going to bea great resource forthe | University and the Jack- son County community. The trail will have equal usage between hikers * and mountain bikers. It will also add to the moun- tain lifestyle that is WCU. Since we live ina more rural setting, the atmosphere is a little il for WCU bit different here than at other universities, said Whitmore. The construction of this trail adds to the message, hey we're here. We live in the mountains. This isa wonderful place to be. . Most of all, this trail is convenient. It is avail- - able to the population: Oy of students who live on ' campus and dont have ' a car. Now they can go hiking when they wish, and dont have to drive off campus to do so. If you get a chance, come and check out the new trail. Come and experience the product of the effort and care that was put into mak- ing a trail that is more available to the Western Carolina community. Also, if you wish to get involved in volunteer work with Base Camp Cullowhee you can - view the work days on Base Camp Cullowhees website. If you have a student group and would like to become involved as well, you can schedule your own - work day, or get in touch with Josh Whitmore at 828-227-3633.
