ee B2 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN CAMPUS Live Catamounts doing good at Community Table Christian Henderson Staff Writer This past week, West- ern Carolina Universitys students have proven that they are passionate about doing service for their community. But what type of community service do our students participate in ona regular or even a weekly basis? The Community Table in Sylva is a popu- lar spot for Catamount volunteers, and they have made a significant impact over the past few years. According to their website, the Community - Table is a non-profit or- ganization in Sylva that aims to make sure that no one in Jackson County goes to bed hungry. They are a food pantry that also provides warm meals for anyone who needs them four days a week. However, as they have only two paid em- '. ployees they rely almost Sos solely on volunteers to accomplish this mission. WCU students seem eager to help in this cause and are always helping out. When asked how many students came to volunteer on a weekly basis Amy Sims, the executive director of the Community Table, guessed that they usually had about 12 volunteers from WCU a week; which is quite a substantial number. Sims says that these volunteers help out with everything from waiting and busing tables, preparing din- ners, sorting and stock- ing food, general clean- ing and washing dishes. In addition to on-site community service, students have also helped with fundraising events at the Community Table and have even organized some on-campus fun- draisers for the cause. Sims said that WCU stu- dents have volunteered at many of their events such as the Empty Bowl, the Blue Plate Special and many others. She also cited events that our students have held on campus to benefit their cause which have included food drives, a watermelon smash and ad5K race. The sum- mer Academic Success Program students also hold a carnival every year which benefits many local organizations, in- cluding the Community Table. Altogether, Sims said that WCU students help to raise several hundreds of dollars and several hundred pounds of food each year which is a huge asset to the Com- munity Table. There are many stu- dents from WCU who often volunteer with the Community Table, but when asked to cite a few who are a constant help to their organization, Sims had this to say Brian Boyer brings students from his Band of Brothers class each Friday to run our dinner service. He has done this for several years, and it is such a huge help, and it makes our Fridays won- derful. Also, since last semester, I have enjoyed having my first-ever intern from WCU, Ashley Cox. Ashley has such a great attitude and work ethic and she is a tremen- dous help to us. Just like Brian, she has become part of our Table family! It seems that our students are doing a great job at making a difference in their com- munity. But of course, there is always more that can be done, especially in the case of the Com- munity Table which serves food to those in need constantly. When asked what WCU could do to further assist the Community Table, Sims expressed that establish- ing a year round food or fund drive would bea great help. They are also always in need of more volunteers and would love to have even more student helpers. So if you are interested in helping to make a difference in your community or even getting the community service hours you need for a class, the Commu- nity Table is a great place to go. Sims urges people who might wish to volunteer or are interested in what the Community Table is doing in Jackson County to like their Facebook page. They are always posting about their ac- tivities in the community and also reach out when they are in most need of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer at the Community Table, you can call their Kitchen Manager/ Volunteer Coordinator, Gary, at 828- 586-6782. Melissa V. Harris-Perry captivates WCU Sandra Nikula Staff Writer The MLK Jr. Commem- oration is a major event at Western Carolina Uni- versity that celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s life and his works. One of the chief events is the MLK Jr. Keynote _ Speaker. According to Takeshia -. Brown, associate direc- tor for programs in the department of Inter 1 A! for the 2014 M K, Jr. Commemoration, they bring in speakers who really are in-tune with . the dream, are leaders in their field, and who can articulate that lead- ership and the impact of Dr. Kings dream. They bring in speakers who hold a lot of knowledge in their purpose of educat- ing the students at WCU. Tts usually someone of some great notoriety to come in and share their expertise and knowledge _, with us, said Brown. The keynote speaker that imparted her insight to the WCU community this year was Dr. Me- lissa V. Harris-Perry. As stated on the WCUs MLK Jr. Keynote Speaker page for the 2014 MLK Jr. Com- memoration on WCUs website, Harris-Perry is the host of MSNBCs show Melissa Harris- Perry, and is professor of political science at Tulane University, where she is founding direc- _ tor of the Anna Julia Cooper Project on Gen- der, Race, and Politics in the South. She is also author of the book . Sister Citizen: Shame, -|. Stereotypes, and Black Women in America and the award winning text Barbershops, Bibles, and BET: Everyday Talk and Black Political Thought and is a columnist for The Nation magazine . where she also writes amonthly column also titled Sister Citizen. Harris-Perry spoke at WCU on January 22. The turnout for the event was quite tremendous. The line for the event was formed outside of the doors to the A.K. Hinds University Center Grand Room and stretched all the way to the doors that open to the CatTran stop behind the Univer- sity Center and wound around back to the doors of the Grand Room. At the opening of the event, Brown spoke and thanked the 2014 Martin Luther King Jr. Planning Committee. After Brown spoke, members of Truth- writers Sarah Sheehan and Joshua Pugh shared their pieces that honored Dr. Martin Luther King. Following that, Director of Intercultural Affairs, James Felton, recognized WCUs Chancellor David O. Belcher and gave way to Belchers welcome, in which he articulated the significance of the MLK, Jr. Commemoration, his unwavering support of the commemoration and how he was honored to have Harris-Perry at WCU. After Belchers welcome, the Inspira- tional Choir at WCU sang Lift Evry Voice and Sing, to which the audi- ence stood up and sang with the choir and The Best is Yet to Come. Belcher then introduced Harris-Perry. Harris-Perry started off by showing the audi- ence a picture of the Martin Luther King Jr. Monument in Washing- ton, D.C. and asked the audience what was wrong Do you want to advertise with The Western Carolinian? with it. She revealed that what she thought was wrong with the monu- ment is the fact that Dr. King is standing alone, - emerging from a rock. She said that King did not emerge from a rock and that he comes out of a people, a movement, a set of institutions. Throughout Harris- Perrys presentation, she talked about Dr. King and who he really was. In her address of the real Dr. King, she informed the audience of things such as, how King was a servant leader for his movement and how he took blame and shared credit for it, the influ- ence he had on President Lyndon B. Johnson, as well as how he was a combination of other models. Harris-Perry also il- luminated how Bayard Rustin was the person who taught King non- violence and took him through the steps of what it is to be a civil rights activist. In her presenta- tion, Harris-Perry also touched on contemporary issues. She divulged that there is still inequality present in the U.S. Har- ris-Perry expanded on this by showing graphs that revealed facts such as how the poverty rates are higher for African Americans, Hispanics .Photo by Ceillie Simkiss/STAFF Melissa V. Harris-Perry speaks to the audience in the U.C. Grandroom. and Latinos, and the widening racial wealth gap. She also discussed the variables and outli- ers that are applicable to the gap and impact the poverty rates. The audience was quite enamored by her presen- tation. Senior Alyssa Ammon said, I thought she was really great, and I feel like she really challenged us to think. When asked what she- got out of Harris-Perrys speech, sophomore Asha Evans said, Equality is a world-wide term. It has different meanings for whoever and that we shouldnt just associate Martin Luther King as being the one sole person who did it because he was basically a collective ef- fort like she said. T thought it was pret- ty cool. She touched on a lot of aspects, and a lot of concerns that I have about todays society, said Junior Jermaine Brawley. Harris-Perry disclosed many significant details about who Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was and the inequality that is still present in Americas society. Harris-Perry also enriched the knowl- edge of her audience and caused them to think about what she divulged to them. CALL (828) 227-2694 January 31, 2014 26 ON | 8 | | 58 | .; | CLUES ACROSS 1.
