4 February 25, 2016 FEATURES The Western Carolinian Before they were educators: Suzon Hawley i sick Potter Staff Writer Professor Suzon Haw- ley teaches communica- tions here at Western Carolina University. The Western Carolin- ian took a moment to sit down with Mrs. Hawley and discuss her inter- ests within the Human Communication com- munity. Hawley grew up in Houma, Louisiana. It was in Louisiana where she studied communica- tions. When I taught Introduction to Speech at L.S.U. in graduate school I discovered that I also love teaching, she said. On communica- tions, she stated, I will have to admit that I first majored in com- munication (speech, in those days) because the classes looked like fun. And they were, for the most part. Now I real- ize that I was drawn to communication stud- ies because I have an - unquenchable interest in human interpersonal interaction. Hawleys interests stem directly from help- ing students grow in their speech and com- - munication: skills. My delight for the last 17 years has been to direct the Reticent Com- municator Program in the Communication Department..J teach, ev- ery semester, a separate section of the funda- mentals class for stu- dents who have a higher than normal amount of communication anxiety. Most of the students in this.class enter think- ing that it is an impos- sibility that they will be able to deliver a speech in front of an audience. But they do! Before this: program those students would likely have left the university, not be- ing able to complete this requirement. Most of these students consider themselves shy, and/or introverted, and I con- sider it a privilege to get to know them, she said. This program, which Hawley has navigated through for the past 17 years, allows Hawley to assist communication- limited students with speech anxieties. She teaches them how to cope with and be. able to effectively produce speeches. Hawley spoke of this experience highly, as it is one of her most fond experiences with communications. Hawley first made -her debut at Western Carolina when she and her husband, who is originally from the Baton Rouge area of Louisiana, became disillusioned with the economic priorities at that time in our home state, Louisiana, where we were teaching at L.S.U. in Shreveport. She went on to discuss that her husband found an available job in the Department of Crimi- nology and Criminal Justice first. Soon after, she said, I got a job in the Communication Department, teaching the brand new general studies requirement, Introduction to Speech Communication. Hawley and her husband first accepted their jobs at Western Carolina in 1993, when general studies require- ments were beginning to become more stan- dard within four-year universities. The couple has lived in the moun- tains of western North Carolina for the past. fifteen years. Hawley possesses many interests besides teaching. T love to read novels and watch movies. And, as I live in one of the most beautiful areas BA" ta. | Professor Suzon Hawley in the world, I also like to get outdoors often usually geocaching. I love to travel and am also involved with the alumni group of my college sorority, Delta Gamma. Many people consider me an ac-. complished cook, and I do enjoy creating in the kitchen, especially Cajun cuisine. Hawley lives in Cullo- whee with her husband Fred, who still teaches in the Department of Criminology and Crimi- Photo submitted by Suzon Hawley nal Justice. She has two daughters who grew up in Cullowhee but now live out of state and one granddaughter, with two more on the way. Suzon Hawley can be reached at: shawley@ email.wcu.edu. Ronnie Davia Staff Writer In the Cullowhee Val- ley, simply due to our geography and our gen- . eral location in the state, we do not have the most flavorful musical selec- tions to choose from on the radio waves. It is not even possible to listen to something as essential as National Public Radio in Cullowhee via the standard FM radio. With this being the case, we are thankful for Power 90.5, WWCU FM bringing many great shows to the alte Students, faculty or even just Western Carolina University campus employees will host many of the shows that are broadcasted at the station. Among the broadcasting talent at the station is Southwest- ern Community College student and Burger Stu- dio employee on campus, Isaiah Ike Shedrick Ford. T have two radio shows, one called Whee Talk Exclusive, which is on Mondays 6-8 p.m., and thats with my co- host David Johnson, we call him DJ on the radio. I also have another show on Fridays called the Groove Mix from _ 8-10 p.m., and thats just myself, and whoever else wants to come on to open for guests and everybody. This is my second year broadcasting. Ikes Groove Mixisa live, engaging, multifac- eted show that has an in- credibly refreshing hip- hop and R&B track list every week, consisting of deep guided discussion about pop-culture, music, news, and relevant topics to collegiate and campus life. This show even has a live call-in feature, where you can callin to the station and con- tribute to the discussion thats happening at the Photo submitted by |saiah Shedrick Ford time. This line can also be used for requests. When asked of influ- ences and reasons to why he started studying com- munication and broad- casting, Fords come from various places in the entertainment world. T have to say my influ- ences are comedy, music, and my dad, a passion for sports. I wanted to be around entertainment, so communication was the way to go. I like to talk, and Im very musically inclined with different things that I hear. I have been behind the mic my whole life. Its right that I focus on Communica- tion, he said. When asked of his major broadcasting influences and general inspirational figures, Ford has a broad range of people he looks toward for ideals and guidance in his life and profession. Oh man, theres so many. So many. Id have to say: some of my in- fluences are Kendrick Lamar, of course my dad, Cory Holcombe, Will Smith, Bernie Mac and I'd have to say, Kobe Bry- ant, he said. ' Ford touched on some- thing essential to hook in : an audience. Tn radio you have to have a certain personal- ity, tell a story, and have the audience actually be able to see what youre talking about. You have to be able to relate to multiple different audi- ences, he said. When asked if he had any classical musical training on instruments, Ford could not justify with saying that he did, although he did have minimal experience. Tonly touched one instrument in my whole life, and that is the piano. I only really know one song on the piano. But other than that, Ive been in front of the micro- phone, or behind the scene. But just recently I picked up a new talent with cutting, and edit- ing, and mixing songs and everything like that. Thats really to come soon as far, increasing my radio DJ arsenal in that aspect. Because with the field of communica- tion, its a competition, you have to do whatever you can to stand out, he said. Ford was born and grew up in Charlotte, NC. He attended Victory Christian Center for High School. Through his grade and high school career, he had no audio projects, broadcasting thoughts or communica- tion ambitions at all. T was into sports. I had every black kids dream, trying to make it to the NBA. I had hoop dreams, but then it all changed after high school, when I didnt get a scholarship for basketball. Then I looked at psychology, but psychology wasnt me. Communications was me. There are moments in my middle school and high school career that I did realize I enjoyed being in front of the mic, the TV, and I realized that when I won the tal- ent show in fifth grade. My talent was rapping. I cant remember what the rhyme was about but I won it man! Ford chuckled while _talking about his early life. When asked of a five- year plan for the future, Ford has some very specific, tangible goals to meet. Honestly, I want to start out in radio, then I want to go into television. I want to have my own talk show. Kind of like Arsenio Halls or similar. Where Im interviewing celebrities and every- thing, although I hope to be one myself. When that all happens, I want it to happen on MTV. MT'V is the most diverse televi- sion network. Diversity is key. We live in sucha diverse culture, he said. Ford admires HOT 90.7 and the Breakfast Club in regards to radio. When asked of incom- ing projects, he stated In due time, in mid-march, the Whee will get to hear some of my mixes. He intends to move to Texas, Florida, or Cali- fornia after graduating from SCC and working at The QC in Charlotte. If theres one thing he would like to convey in life, its Keep God first. Ford added, Im thankful for my mom and dad. Tune in to his radio shows on Mondays (Whee Talk Exclu- sive) from 6-8 p.m. and Fridays (Groove Mix) from 8-10 p.m. You can reach Ford via telephone from 8-10 p.m: on the Groove Mix at 828-227- TIS: Available for adoption: Craig from Catman2 Cat Shelter Kaleb Lynch Submission Craig is the nicest cat at Catman2. He is less than a year old and is the fattest thing youve ever seen. His luxurious soft orange and white coat will keep you coming back for more pets. Craig will gladly lay back in your arms and let his fat tummy droop over his sides for the amusement of you and your friends. Want a real laugh? Watch his belly sway to and fro while chasing a toy down the hall. Craig loves other cats, dogs, and kids. He is the perfect cat and hes looking for an equally perfect human compan- ion. Craig and his brother Daniel were rescued as smaller kittens by Cat- man2 after they were thrown out of a car in Sylva. A Good Samari- tan stopped and scooped them up and the Cat- man2 Shelter agreed to take care of them. They were a forgiving pair who immediately captured the hearts of anyone who visited the shelter. Daniel has been adopted but Craig has been waiting for nearly his whole life to find a home to call his own. Craig is neutered, up to date on his core vaccines, FeLV/FIV negative, micro-chipped and very loved by the staff and volunteers of Catman2. His adoption fee is $60 with an approved application which can be found at www.catman2.org/adopt. html. For more information, you can call Catman2 at 828-293-0892. Photo by Sherrie White Brush
