a2 * 16% @ Se THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN NEWS April 11, 2014 Laura Odom Editor-in-Chief Most people know about | the on-field rivalry that --existed between Western Carolina University and * Appalachian State Uni- * versity. . For the past three years, ~'a battle has occurred off ~ the field and in the dorms. Since 2011, WCU and App # ~ have gone head-to-head in ~a battle of conservation. : Each year on April 3, Battle of the Plug hosted a rr ~ kick-off event where they ~gave away freebies like Po ~ sunglasses that say Save > energy! Beat App! it * The name was coined from the rivalry between = WCU and Appalachian ~ State University s foot- e ball team Battle for the Old Mountain Jug that recently came to an end, said Amanda Marshall, a . graduate student working with Battle of the Plug. Marshall believes that -now that the rivalry is > dead, sports wise, we can ~ keep the connection with App, and it keeps the ri- valry alive. Marshalls job this se- mester has been to plan and work with coordinat- ing the events centered around Battle of the Plug. Battle of the Plug is a part of a larger national competition called Cam- pus Conservation Nation- als, CCN. And there are. over six hundred schools who compete nationally in it. There are different types of-competition you can do what we do or you can compete nationally, said Marshall. The CCN website states, CCN gives a common voice and motivation to hundreds of thousands of students across North America, all working together, to reduce con- sumption and mitigate the impacts of climate change. CCN is an opportunity to organize students and staff, host educational events, and _ challenge students and staff to par- ticipate in fun events LET'S BATTLE OF THE PLUG BEAT APP that can have an imme- diate and lasting impact on your schools carbon emissions and campus culture, site. | Marshall explained a few of the events that WCU will host this year states the web- in celebration. We're going to have Livin 1889 which will urge students to turn their lights off to help conserve energy. This event ties into the 125 anniversary theme of the year, said Marshall. It is just saying live like they did 125 years ago with no electricity. The wrap-up event is called Whee Do It In The Dark. It will be from 7-11 p.m. in the Cats Den on April 26. Marshall encouraged WCU kicks of the Battle of the Plug Photos Submitted by WCU Battle of the Plug students to wear white or light colors to the wrap- up event because the lights will be. off and they will have glow sticks and things like that.

WCUs Annette Debo WCU News Services - Annette Debo, profes- sor of English at Western Carolina University, has been named one of the best teachers in the Uni- - versity of North Carolina - system in recognition of a teaching style that -emphasizes listening to her students instead of merely lecturing to them. Debo, who also serves as the English depart- ments graduate pro- gram director, is among 17 recipients of the 2014 - UNC. Board of Governors ~ Awards for Excellence in Teaching, announced Wednesday, March 26. A member of the Board of Governors is sched- uled to present Debo with ~the award at WCUs un- ~ ment dergraduate commence- ceremonies that ~ begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 10. Debo also will speak at the Graduate School commencement cer- emony Friday, May 9. _ Debo and the other recipients of the UNC Police Blotter: honor, representing an array of academic disci- plines, were nominated by special committees on their home campuses and selected by the Board of Governors Committee on Personnel and Tenure. In making its selec- tion, the UNC committee commended Debo for her ability to engage students in stimulating, challeng- ing and_ sophisticated discussions about litera- ture and literary theory. The committee noted that she regularly wins . glowing reviews from students for providing a trusting environment in which she can ask.the difficult questions and students will respond knowing they are in a safe community of learn- ers, and that her faculty colleagues praise her commitment to helping students understand the value and impact of what they learn in her classes. Dr. Debos pedagogy makes it clear that learn- ing is not limited to the classroom, demonstrat- ing instead that it takes place in a variety of con- texts in tandem, in contradiction, and in re- named among UNC system's top sponse to what happens within the classroom en- vironment, said Laura Wright, head of the WCU English department. Dr. Debo recognizes that teaching is a trans- action, an exchange between individuals teacher and students as well as students and teacher that allows her to learn from those who simultaneously learn from her, said Wright. Faculty colleague Bri- an Gastle said that one of Debos areas of exper- tise is in African-Amer- ican literature and she teaches classes ranging from freshman level to advanced graduate semi- nars that tackle such subjects as gender issues and theoretical issues. These are among the most, how shall I put it, delicate kinds of classes to teach, given their of- ten controversial , and personal subject matter. While she is personal- ly invested in these issues, and displays a passion for her field, she also nego- tiates those issues well with her students, foster- ing respect for differenc- es while engaging them with difficult and some- times conflicted and con- flicted material, he said. One of her students said that Debo has had the greatest impact on both my college educa- tion and _ professional future and called her a role model of profes- sionalism, which is an important attribute in an educator as they are pre- paring students for their professional careers. Another student praised Debo for her always-present smile, her passion for teach- ing, her constant support and advice, and her over- whelming desire to. see her students succeed. Debo teaches classes in modernism, Afri- can-American litera- ture, literary theory, and womens literature. She is author of The American H.D., pub- lished by the University of Iowa Press in 2011. Weaving together liter- ary criticism, biography, cultural history and ar- chival research, the book offers a new story about the significance of the United States through a study of the life and work of modernist 20th-centu- ry writer Hilda Doolittle, who is known as H.D. An American who spent her adult life abroad, H.D. helped launch the free verse movement and authored experimental novels, short and long stories, es- says, reviews, a childrens book and_ translations. She also is co-editor of the MLA volume Ap- proaches. to Teaching H.D.s Poetry and Prose, and her edition of H.D.s Within the Walls and What Do I Love? is forth- coming from the Universi- ty Press of Florida in 2014. She is past co-chair of the H.D. International Society, and she held the H.D. Fellowship for 2012- 13 at Yale Universitys Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Her articles have ap- peared in African American Review, Cal- laloo, Paideuma, South Atlantic Review, Quar- terly Review of Film and professors Video, CLA Journal, and College Literature. She currently is work- ing on the monograph A Fine Fury, which ad- dresses social justice, the Civil Rights years, and the poetry of Gwendolyn | : Brooks, Sonia Sanchez and Natasha Trethewey. She received her bache- lors degree in accounting from Virginia Tech, her masters degree in Eng- lish from Virginia Tech, and her doctorate in Eng- lish from the University of Maryland, College Park. Established by the Board of Governors in April 1994 to underscore the importance of teach- ing and to reward good teaching across the uni- versity, the awards are given annually to a ten- ured faculty member from each UNC campus. | Winners must have taught at their present - j institutions at least seven years. No one may receive theaward morethan once. WCU Police Daily Activity Reports. Compiled by.
