~ The Western Carolinian Jordan Freeman Junior Editor What could be more won- derful than going to Dis- neyland or Disneyworld, as a kid? How about going to Disneyland, or Disney World, for college? That is exactly what Kayla Layden did. The Western Carolinian sat down with Layden, a double major in stage and screen and hospitality and a minor in art, and talked to her about her experience with the Disney College. . It is a program of- fered for the college. I did entertainment costuming, * especially for the parades, she said. Layden explained how Disney will put the stu- dents in a position role, such as costuming, as well as working at the food, court, gift shop and more. She also talked about what it was like living at the apartments Disney _ provided. Apartments are on the property. Mine was five miles from the Magic King- dom. Living in the apart- ments was like living ina dorm. They would come and inspect the apart- ments, making sure they were clean. If you. were under 21, they checked for alcohol, shesaid. Besides being able to get professional internships, as she is able to go back to Disney and work for them again if she would like to, _ students ih the college get into the park for free on their days off. Layden explained the process of getting into Dis- - ney College, and it is a long and tedious one. For her, she found an ad online for the college when she was in her sophomore or junior year at Western Carolina University. She looked up the ad on Google and was sent directly to the Disney website. She followed the links on the website and _ applied for the college on- line. To apply, you have fill out an online job interview which has you take a quiz to get to know you bet- ter. If Disney likes:what they see, they will set up a phone interview with you to discuss why you would like to be a part of the col- lege and Disney. After her phone interview, it took her between two weeks and a month to find out if she made the cut. If you are accepted, Disney will ask you for a $350 deposit on the spot. As far as other expenses go, Layden said that her cost FEATURES The wonderful world of the to live in her apartment was $100 a week, but some apartments can cost more than that. : Costs aside, Layden said that she was glad she took advantage of this opportu- nity, even though Western Carolina did not transfer the credits. To show off and improve her skills working with costumes for parades was great and, as mentioned . before, she has the oppor- tunity to go back to Disney if she wishes to. She also said that she enjoyed the warm weather over the cold mountains of Cullo- whee and being so close to the beach. Not to mention the perks of working for Disney, such as getting in the park for free and get- ting discounts on food. As an added bonus, Layden was able to get a discount on any Disney cruise. The only down side, in her opinion, is working some of the days when the : heat is really bad and it is hard to get days off when you need them, as Disney is one to run a tight ship. Regardless, Layden said she would definitely do it all over again. To learn more about the Disney College, you can. visit cp.disneycareers.com. . February 25, 2016 BS Madeline Moore Junior Editor Did you know that West- ern Carolina University has its very own annual literary and art journal? If not, its called The Nomad and it is completely composed by students at the university. According to the editor- in-chief, Cat Mason, Ev- erything within the journal is student-created, and the staff of the Nomad is com-. - posed of students. Within the pages of every Nomad, . there is non-fiction, fiction, and poetry works, as well as photographs, digital art, and painted works. The Nomad aims to pro- vide a creative outlet and enjoyment for anyone who is interested; the student body, faculty/staff, the community, Western Carolina families and more. The Nomad is published to give people a taste of what Western Carolina students can do creatively. When it is printed in the spring, it is handed out free of charge and given to anyone who en- joys art or literature, said Mason. The Nomad has been around for quite a while, but the how and why of its origins is unknown; this includes the free-spirited name. The name actually remains a mystery, said Ma- son. The journal has been around since the 1960s, so we're not sure of its origins. The mystique of the No- mads background appears fairly fitting given a nomad is a wanderer who never stays in one place for too - long, and perhaps because _ of this, doesnt know their exact location of origin. So how can Western Caro- lina students get involved - with The Nomad? Its pretty simple. Students who are look- ing to join the Nomad staff need only to send an email to nomadwcu@gmail.com. Someone will get back to you with the time, date, and place of the next Nomad meeting, said Mason. Since the Nomad is en- tirely student-run journal, the staff is always welcome to those who are interested in participating, and encour- ages those who are inter- ested to contact them as the benefits of working with the Nomad are very rewarding. The Nomad staff works together to make sure that the best literature and art that Western Carolina Uni- versity students can create is brought together in our an- nual journals, said Mason. As for submitting your own work, Works of litera- ture and art that are pub- lished within the Nomad can be put onto a job resume, said Mason. Its a great feeling to know that yourea published writer or artist! Mason also explains that there is a contest for the cover art of the journal and more details can be found on their Facebook page, WCU Nomad. As of 2016, the Nomad is still working on the next issue, but as mentioned before, it will be coming out Emily Dorsey Editor-in-Chief If you live in the area or nearby, you know that Cullo- whee is not the best place to find things to do. When it comes to restaurants, you are pretty limited to the choices on campus and Tucks, which makes it very inconvenient for students and community members that are vegan, vegetarian, raw vegan, etc. What many do not know is that there is * arestaurant that you likely drive by everyday which of- fers all these services: Sazon Mexican Restaurant. Sazon is owned by Alex Rodriguez and his wife. The couple started the restau- rant seven years ago after they moved to Cullowhee because of their immediate love for the area. p A friend of mine worked here and asked me to come and visit him. I came for more of a vacation but ended up loving it and deciding to stay, said Rodriguez. Rodriguez was born in Mexico City and has been cooking for the majority of Buds: his life. He has traveled to many different countries, eating and learning about all types of cuisines. T have been cooking all my life. I started with my grandma around 7 or 8 years old, Rodriguez said. Asa chef, I have tried so many different cuisines. I have traveled to a lot of South American countries. Asa - chef, you learn from every- one you to talk to. He described his food at Sazon as gourmet Mexican food with Caribbean and French influence. If you visit Sazon, Rodri- guez said you can expect a very unique experience. He described Sazon as eclectic, authentic, and the new idea of cooking. We do really amazing things. Everything is fresh and organic. We do not use meats with hormones. Everything is complex and well-thought out, Rodriguez said. Rodriguez does all of the prep work and cooking at Sazon. He believes that if you let other chefs cook your food they will change small azon Mexican Restaurant things and those are the things that matter most. Like I mentioned before, Sazon provides something that many places in the area do not; dishes for individuals who are vegan, raw vegan, and vegetarian. Rodriguez said that the most popular menu items are the vegetar- ian ones. Sazon offers 25 ', different vegetarian dishes and the ability to turn any dish on the menu vegetar- ian. Same goes for vegan. While these dishes are popular to many who are already vegetarian, they are _ also favorites of regular cus- tomers. Rodriguez explains that many people normally stay away from vegetarian food but realize that they actually like vegetables after trying one of Sazons dishes. Due to the variety of dishes Sazon offers, it took Rodriguez a moment to decide what his favorite dish is. The Chile Relleno plate is my absolute favorite. I love meat and this is a vegetarian dish, he said. Sazon also offers fresh specials each day and everyone is different. They are more personal dishes that are associated with a specific moment during Rodriguezs life. These are the only dishes you cannot change because that would change the experience con- nected with the dish. A lot of people come and just say, Give me what is on the board! without reading it, said Rodriguez. sometime this spring. As of mid-February, we are still accepting submis- sions, said Mason. [This spring] we will be publish- ing our 2015-2016 Nomad edition. So, look for the staff on the UC lawn at the end of April; we'll be giving out free Nomads! Be on the lookout for the Without a doubt, you will havea wonderful experience and meal if you choose to try . one of the daily specials. Sazon is currently in the process of opening a full bar next door to the current location on Old Cullowhee Road. The restaurant also features a great patio that al- lows customers to enjoy the beautiful Tuckasegee River while they eat.
