Twentieth Annual Undergraduate Rachel Rae Hanes Staff Writer The Undetpradiusite' . Research Exposition is regarded as a part of Western Carolina Uni- versitys campus wide event celebrating students engaging in research and receiving scholarships. The exposition lasted two days, March 21 and March 22, and featured various events. The first day began with participants display- ing their posters in the Ramsey Center Arena which was later followed by a faculty panel. The panel featured professors such as Dr. Chris Coo- per, Associate Professor and Head of the depart- ment of Political Science and Public Affairs; Dr. Rob Young, Associate Professor of Geolo and the Director of the Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines; Dr.Katerina Spasovska, Assistant Professor of the Communication Depart- ment; Dr. Vicki Szabo, Professor Associate Professor of the Department of History; Dr. Brian Byrd, Associate the School of Health Sciences; and Jayme McGhan, Associ- ate Y Proeeaes of the School of Stage and Screen; with moderator Dr. Lane Perry, director of the Cen- ter for Service Learning. The discussion focused on Effective Communica- tion of Research: Chal- lenges and Opportunities and was also held in the Ramsey Center. Many students were chosen to orally present their information prior to the reception. The recep- tion featured long walls lined with the posters of undergraduate students who were ready to explain their research to attend- ees. Over 200 students resented their research om a variety of areas of studies including students from the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education and Allied Professions, the College of Fine and Performing Arts and the College of Health and Human Sciences. Kristen Morris, a senior majoring in Psychology, presented her research relating emergent math skills and the personality in preschool aged chil- dren. Inspired by her love for children, she assessed the math skills in correla- tion with the personality traits of children. She was also chosen to present orally prior to the recep- tion. Morris stated, Im most proud of how hands on it was. Her results yielded a positive correlation be- tween more agreeable be- havior patterns and higher math skills, While she also found that children with more signs of neu- roticism (frequently throw tantrums, etc.) correlated with lower math skills. Her findings opened the door for researchers to view higher academic ability as a deeper subject when paired with the ef- fects of personality. Her faculty sponsor, Dr.Cathy Grist, will archive the information for future students to build upon. Morris advised students _ interested in participating in the research exposition. . Don't be afraid to get out there and get involved.. And ask questions as soon as you have them, she said. Lindsey Kappius, a sophomore majoring in Photography, presented her research at the exposi- tion, and will later present it at a national confer- ence at the University of Central Oklahoma. She participated in a two-week summer internship at the Bascom Center for Visual Arts in the Highlands, North Carolina. The Bascom features various classes for all ages in areas including painting, wood sculpture and drawing. Her internship required her to capture the func- tions of the Bascom in a professional and natural way. One of the chal- lenges she faced involved manipulating the view of a drawing class that featured a nude model. Western Carolina University Hosts History Day Competition Nathaniel Evans Co-Editor-in-Chief On Saturday, March 17, students from numerous middle schools and high schools in the area trav- eled to Western Carolina University to compete in the events held on campus for the annual National History Day event. 2018 marks the third year Western Caroli- - nas History department has hosted the regional competi- tion for National History Day. Artspace Charter School, Hendersonville Middle and High Schools, Swain Middle School and Rob- binsville High School were among the schools who sent participants to the com- petition organized by the North Carolina department of Natural and Cultural Resources Western Office. The theme for the 2018 competition was Conflict and Compromise in His- tory. Students competed via created projects such - as exhibits, speeches and performances. A group of three seventh grade girls from Hendersonville Middle School presented on the 1977 Womens Rights Conference. The performance was captivating and was filled with a multitude of facts, spoken and sung, backed. by props and a bibliography for the judges to view as the group performed. It began with a listing of events and happenings which overshadowed the influ- ential conference and then elaborated on the goal of the conference itself. The performance was accurately subtitled: Walk- ing the Plank into Modern Feminism, and, thus, the meat of the performance included the influential speakers and the 26 issues, called planks, feminists at the time wanted to focus on. Some of these planks included an abortion plank, a lesbian plank and, lastly, a minority plank, which was, in the end, not included on the final document which was sent to congress. The goal of the conference was to have congress pass these planks into law to ben- efit the feminist movement and society as a whole, and, as the three girls said, 17 of the 25 planks were passed. The performance was not just summarization of the conference and its goals. Every individual point was punctuated by a quote from an influential speaker at the conference. The group also high- lighted the acts of people to counter the conference and its goals. They pointed out a counter-conference that was held in Houston, Texas. The attendees of the counter- conference happily referred to the original conference as a Federal Financing of a Foolish Festival for Frustrat- ed Feminists, on account of it costing about 5 million dollars to fund, to diminish the influential nature of the happenings there. They also mentioned a woman, Phyllis Schlafly, who almost single-handedly stopped the ratification of the Equal Rights Amend- ment (ERA) with her movement that sought to protect womens original roles as homemakers, fight against abortion and limit government welfare and social support. In the end, the ERA was not ratified by many states because of this pushback and failed to gain enough ground to become law. The performance ended with a connection from first-wave feminism to third- Research EXPO -Kappius stated, Tt chal- lenged me to manipulate le Situation to capture - the appropri- ately. a Apts originally did not p: Ee to present her internship at the research exposition. She was urged by her sponsor, Richard Tichich, to later register. Katie Spaulding, a senior majoring in Bi- ology, researched and experimented with the cloning and expression of CAS9 in the patho- genic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans. This yeast is found in soil, and when inhaled by someone with a compromised immune system, can be fatal. Her research produced the tools for future students to be able to use new technology, CRISPR, to cut the pathogenic gene in the yeast and potentially discover drug treatments. Due to many technical difficulties, the cloning research took Spaulding almost four semesters to complete, only yield- ng results a week before wave feminism, what is known as todays feminism. The girls drew connections from the planks and the conference to movements like #MeToo and #Time- sUP to further exemplify the monumental ripples that feminism had, and still has, on society and the events that sweep up millions of people. The performance was not just a competition; it was also a learning opportu- nity. Following the groups show, the judges spent some time questioning them on a variety of topics, from the clothes they wore for the performance to their moti- vation for choosing the topic to ascertain the knowledge the girls gained from their research. The girls noted that they chose the topic from the Smithsonians website and were immediately inter- ested. Their costumes were presenting at the exposi- tion. Spaulding presented orally at the Western Carolina exposition and is scheduled to present at the national conference in Oklahoma. Her research was sponsored by Dr. Indrani Bose. Spaulding stated, [The project] required a lot of patience on everybodys part...and motivation... its so long and drawn out. The Undergraduate Research Exposition was hosted by the Office of the Provost in conjunction with the Honors College and the Graduate School. Research was sponsored. by PHENIX Research as well as Sigma Xi, the Scientific Honors Society. Students interested in par- ticipating in the research must register by the set deadline. Registration has not yet opened for the 2019 exposition. For more information, contact the Undergraduate Research Office Coordinator, Jill Granger at jngranger@ weu.edu. picked to represent different types of women and the clothes many would have worn to the conference. The clothing included memora- bilia from the era and a fo- cus on the 1980s look which was just becoming popular at the time. The girls also took some information from a book called Divided We Stand by someone who attended the event. The performance was eye- opening and informational, not only for the audience, but also for the performers and it was clear to see that they learned from, and were influenced by, the topic they chose to speak on. National History Day is a program that seeks to introduce students to the events of history and teach them valuable research, analysis, organizational and presentation skills.
