A Weekly Newsletter for the Faculty and Staff of Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina February 5, 1982 FORMER PRESIDENT RE ID GIVES ANOTHER $10,000 One of Western's former presidents, who says he is only practicing what he once preached to others, has given more than $100,000 to Western Carolina University for scholarships and faculty and staff awards. A $10,000 gift by Paul, A. Reid of Pilot Mountain will endow a new $1,000 annual academic scholarship at WCU. It brings to over $102,000 the total given to Western since 1975 by its former president. Reid's gifts have made him one of the principal benefactors of WCU, although he himself did not attend the institution. He was president from 1949 to 1956 and again from 1957 to 1968, when he retired. He is now president emeritus. Recalling that trying to raise money from voluntary gifts was one of the most difficult tasks he had during his own presidency, Reid said Jan. 23 "a satisfying aspect of my gift program is that it affords me an opportunity now to practice what I preached during those years." He has given over $72,000 to endow scholarship programs and almost $30,000 to endow the Paul A. Reid distinguished service awards. The latest $10,000 gift, announced here by Chancellor H. F. Robinson, provides a $1,000 scholarship award annually to one of the Surry County high school graduates with the highest academic standing who elects to attend WCU. An earlier gift in 1981 established a similar award. As a result of the second gift, the two Surry graduates with the highest academic records can qualify for $1,000 scholarships at Western. Under conditions of Reid's gifts, the recipients of the two awards normally would receive them only for their first year at WCU. This provision assures that ordinarily the top high school honor students can qualify each year for the Reid scholarships. Under exceptional circumstances, a special selection committee could make an award to the same student a second year. In addition to the two $1,000 honor awards, other Paul A. Reid scholarships were established at WCU in 1975 by the gift of over $51,000 by Reid. The scholarships are awarded to graduates of Surry County schools who choose Western. The awards pay half the on-campus costs for each recipient. Students are selected by a special committee on the basis of overall social, civic, and academic standing; they must qualify as "best all around" students. In all, Reid scholarship awards totaling some $22,000 have been awarded to 45 students. The newest award becomes effective next fall. Reid's endowments for the distinguished service programs provide two $1,000 awards annually, one for faculty and one for administrative staff (see accompanying article) . Dr. Robinson said "it is highly unusual in higher education for a former president to endow an institution, especially when he is not an alumnus. The university that benefited so much from his active leadership continues to be enriched through his gifts, and we are deeply grateful to him. -2- His fellow citizens in Surry County, and especially the young people, owe him a great debt of gratitude." Reid was planning a business career when, as a young man, he accepted a temporary teaching position at Hill's Chapel school, a small two-teacher institution. That altered his life. He spent the next 43 years in education. Reid once said he had saved a part of every check he received and his gifts, he said, now are "an opportunity to return some of the earnings received from those 43 years of educational service." He said the gifts also stem from his philosophy of the use of money: "Funds above those needed by me and my family for the necessities and some of the luxuries of life, I should use for the benefit of people—some charity and some to assist in enhancing the progress of people." Reid earned bachelor's and master's degrees at the UNC-Chapel Hill. He taught for four years in Pilot Mountain, then was business manager and assistant superintendent at Roanoke Rapids for six years. He also served for three years as a junior and senior high school principal at Roanoke Rapids. He was principal of Needham Broughton High in Raleigh for three years and superintendent of Elizabeth City schools for more than five years; between his terms as president of WCU, he was assistant director of the State Board of Higher Education for 18 months. When he retired in 1968, Reid returned to his native Pilot Mountain where he and Mrs. Reid reside. NOMINATIONS OPEN FOR REID SERVICE AWARDS The Selection Committee for the Paul A. Reid Distinguished Service Awards has issued a call for nominations for the awards to be given this spring. Nominations will be accepted until Feb. 18. A faculty award of $1,000 and an administrative staff award of $1,000 will be given at the annual faculty/staff dinner. You may nominate individuals for either or both awards. Criteria for the awards provide that "nominees shall be evaluated on the extent and quality of service that contributes to the general welfare of Western Carolina University and enhances its reputation as a regional institution of higher education." Selection also is to be based on service during the year and the "sustained cumulative and substantial nature" of efforts over the years. All university personnel should have received a nomination form, a format for vita, and criteria for the awards. A photograph of each nominee also is requested. Members of the selection committee are: Jane Schulz (chairperson), Judy Dowell, John Schell, Charles Hipps, John H. Gloyne, Larry Grantham, Thomas Connelly, Fred Hinson, and Harriet Parker. Send nominations to Jane Schulz in 223 Killian. NATIONAL DESIGNERS COMPETE HERE THIS MONTH Successful entries in Western's first National Design Competition, sponsored by the WCU department of art, will be exhibited at the Belk Building Art Gallery and the Chelsea Gallery of Hinds University Center Feb. 15 through March 10. The entries, solicited from major advertising agencies and design schools in the U.S., will be judged by internationally recognized graphic designer Ivan Chermayeff. Chermayeff will jury the entries in the competition on Sunday, Feb. 14. During class hours on Monday, Feb. 15, he will address WCU interior design and advertising classes. Categories included in the exhibition will be advertising (magazine displays, billboards, etc.), informational (posters, brochures, etc.), promotional (catalogs, album jackets, etc.), editorial (books, newspapers, etc.), and social (greeting cards, letterheads, etc.). Formal openings for the professional and student exhibitions will be at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 15. Gold, silver, and honorable mention awards will be given in all categories. Following the receptions, Chermayeff will speak in the Cherokee Room of Hinds University Center. Ivan Chermayeff is currently affiliated with Chermayeff and Geismar Associates of -3- New York. Among their clients are Burlington, Xerox, The Chase Manhattan Bank, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Chermayeff previously developed the official American Revolution Bicentennial Symbol and the related identity program. Chermayeff received his training in design at Harvard University, The Chicago Institute of Design, and Yale University. After graduation he worked with the architectural firm of Edward Larabee Barnes, and later with Columbia Records as a designer of record jackets. In 1957, the association of Brown-john, Chermayeff and Geismar was formed, and in 1960 it became Chermayeff and Geismar. The Design Quarterly has written that Chermayeff and Geismar have in effect defined the profession of graphic design. The seemingly simple selection and placement of words and shapes in Chermayefffs work, such as his advertisements for Pride and Prejudice and War and Peace for the Public Broadcasting Corporation or his covers for Fortune Magazine, illustrate a sophisticated sense of visual harmony. Chermayeff1s work in its amalgamation of aesthetics and commerce has been said to exemplify the best efforts in the field of graphic design. The WCU National Design Exhibit, a totally self-supported endeavor, was organized by Wade Hobgood, assistant professor in the WCU department of art. It is open to any professional artist or student living in the United States. Entries can be two- or three-dimensional, and must have been completed within the last two years. The printing of posters and exhibition catalogs for this competition was contributed by Biltmore Press of Asheville. More information about the competition can be obtained from the department of art, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, N.C. 28723.

WNCAC THINKS AHEAD TO THE WORLD'S FAIR According to reports at a recent meeting of Western North Carolina Associated Communities (WNCAC), we are going to be hearing even more about the World's Fair. In turn, potential attenders of the World's Fair from farther away will be hearing about Western North Carolina as a good place to "turn in" for the fair. The eleven-county region (frdm Madison, Buncombe, and Henderson west to the state line) will be advertising in national and regional publications with -about 18 million exposures. The aim is to bring at least one million new visitors to WNC during the fair. WNCAC is requesting the state to provide additional highway patrolmen for WNC during the fair and to increase the allowable distance from the interstate for businesses that want logo signing on the interstate. Most WNC campgrounds fall outside the current five-mile limit. DEATHS MRS. EDITH W.

A Weekly Newsletter for the Faculty and Staff of Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina February 12, 1982 The Reporte r TAMBURITZANS TO PERFORM SUNDAY A musical pageant of East European music, songs, dances, and colorful costumes will unfold Sunday, Feb. 14, at Western with a performance by the internationally famous Tamburitzans of Duquesne University. The company of 40 young musicians, singers, and dancers will begin their two-hour performance at 8 p.m. in Hoey Auditorium under sponsorship by WCUfs Lectures, Concerts, and Exhibitions program. In their 42-year history, the Tamburitzans have performed throughout the United States and Canada, occasionally making foreign tours to such places as South America, the Soviet Union, or Eastern Europe. Each Tamburitzan is a full-time student at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pa., and receives a complete scholarship for participating in the group and performing approximately 100 shows each season. Dedicated to preserving East European culture, the Tamburitzans take their name from the lute-like instrument they play, the tamburitza. Wearing more than 500 authentic costumes in each concert, members of the ensemble sing in a dozen different European languages and do the dances of as many countries. The Tamburitzans1 production has been likened to an European musical tour. Performing with high-speed precision, the troupe forms a kaleidoscopic impression of the most fascinating and romantic parts of the Balkans and neighboring lands. Despite the different languages, language is J no barrier. Joy at a wedding, sorrow at death, pride in a plentiful harvest, or the secretive flirtations of a couple falling in love are understood universally. In addition to the tamburitza, the ensemble plays contemporary instruments such as the accordion, clarinet, and violin. The chanting of dissonant voices along with the hypnotic beat of the primitive goatskin drum and the haunting sounds of shepherds' flutes add to the unusually interesting quality of their performance. Tickets to the concert are $5 for adults, $2 for non-WCU students, and $1 for WCU students with valid identification cards. Subscribers to the LCE series are admitted without charge.

Humanities Committee. Her presentation at Western is sponsored by the university's Office of Minority Student Concerns. The 30-minute presentation features about 120 slides with narration depicting the status of blacks in Jackson County during the first 100 years after the Civil War. Casey points out the extent of slavery in the county just before the war and documents the economic, political, and religious lives of blacks. A large portion of the program is devoted to the history of the county's black schools and churches where, Casey says, "blacks sought freedom from the white world that seemed to alienate them."

DIXON'S NEW BOOK TREATS CHILDREN'S PROBLEMS Nancy Powell Dixon. Children of Poverty with Handicapping Conditions: How Teachers Can Cope Humanistically. Springfield, 111.: Charles C. Thomas, 1981. 192 pp. $19.75. This book is a collection of 20 case studies of children handicapped both by poverty and by physical, mental, or emotional handicaps—children like Eddie, an 11-year-old with extra fingers that his family can't afford to have removed; like Vallie, an epileptic kindergartener whose father regularly beats her for having seizures; like Karen, a pretty 13-year-old who talks on the second-grade level but doesn't go to school because her mother wants to "put her with men and make money." While focusing on the difficulties these children face, the book presents humanistic approaches teachers may use in dealing with such situations. "I believe the public needs to be aware that there are children in this society with these problems," said Dr. Dixon. "I also think that teachers should be prepared to help these children improve their self concepts." The case studies are composites of actual students taught by Dr. Dixon in Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Georgia. An introduction reviews conditions of poverty, sets a rationale for the text, and discusses approaches of working effectively with poor and handicapped children. Questions are designed to stimulate reflection, discussion, and study. The book is designed as a text to help students and practitioners of elementary and special education, educational administration, counseling, and support areas such as school nursing, social work, and psychology.

MASTER'S IN TECH REVISED FOR MANAGEMENT A revised master's program in industrial technology (M.I.T.), developed with the help of regional industrialists to emphasize technical administration, will be offered in Asheville by WCU beginning this summer. Most courses in the program will be taught in the evenings through WCU Programs in Asheville. J. Dale Pounds, head of WCU's industrial education and technology department, said the revised program is designed primarily for full-time industrial employees in the Asheville area who hold bachelor degrees in engineering, engineering technology, and industrial technology. "The purpose of our new M.I.T. program," he said, "is to help these employees improve their managerial skills as well as broaden their technical base." Pounds said the program revision was based on the recommendations of a seven-member industrial advisory committee composed of managers from various industries in western North Carolina. A survey of industry employment needs conducted by Indiana University and Purdue University at Ft. Wayne, Ind., also provided a basis for the revisions, he said. "Because this program was largely developed and approved by industrial leaders in western North Carolina, we believe graduates of this program will develop skills that are highly marketable and thereby enhance their employment opportunities," Pounds said. The revised program features an 18-hour core of industrial technology courses, a nine-hour component of management courses, and a three-hour course in report writing. The former M.I.T. program required six hours of education and psychology courses, 12 hours of industrial technology courses, and 13 hours of electives. -2- Industrial technology courses required for the new M.I.T. program include value analysis, quality assurance, computerized production techniques, and industrial materials and processes. The latter course is the only one scheduled to be taught on Saturdays on the WCU campus in Cullowhee. The industrial technology core also features a six-hour course option to complete an independent study, thesis, or group of approved elective courses. Students opting for independent study will be advised to choose job-related projects of benefit to the companies for which they work, Pounds said. The management component of the program consists of three courses regularly offered by the WCU School of Business. They are organizational behavior and analysis, personnel administration, and problems in production management. Since computers will be used in many of the technology courses, students must demonstrate competency in computer programming before completing six semester hours of the program. Students who fail to do this must take an undergraduate computer programming course approved by an advisory committee. In the future, Pounds said, the program may be offered on a full-time basis on the WCU campus in Cullowhee if there is sufficient demand. Members of the industrial advisory committee for the M.I.T. program are: Jake Jolliff, vice president of American Enka, Enka; Larry Peters, manager of employment, Clark Equipment Co., Skyland; Arnold Robinson, manager of industrial relations, Dayco Rubber Products, Waynesville; J.B. Henderson, manufacturing manager, General Electric Co., Hendersonville; Richard Hurley, personnel manager, Square-D Corp., Asheville; Foster Aldridge, vice president, Taylor Instruments, Arden; and Don Gladieux, manager, Berkeley Mills, Kimberly-Clark Corp., Balfour. For more information, contact J. Dale Pounds or George Reeser at ext. 7368 in Cullowhee.

ALASKAN SLIDES ILLUSTRATE LECTURE By popular request, Dan Pittillo and Jim Wallace of the WCU.department of biology will repeat their illustrated lecture on their recent two-month excursion in Canada and Alaska at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 23, in the Natural Sciences Building auditorium. Open to the public without charge, the program is sponsored by the WCU Biology Club. Slides with modern projection blending illustrate a description of the region by Drs. Pittillo and Wallace. The lecture begins the trip at Banff and Jasper national parks in the Canadian Rockies and moves west to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Boarding a ferry for Juneau, the travelers flew to Glacier Bay, Alaska, where they found the nesting birds of Marble Island, humpback whales grazing on the krill of the bay, expansive scenes over the ice fields and glaciers of the Fairweather Mountains, and soft, rounded masses of moss on the temperate rainforest floor. After disembarking at Skagway, the biologists followed the footsteps of the klon-dike gold seekers into the Yukon before turning back to mainland Alaska, where they found varies scenes of tidal pools, a kaleidoscope of flowers in the alpine and coastal fringes of the mountains, the heights of Mt. McKinley, and expanses of the vast interior and Arctic tundra.

[The following is excerpted from a column written by Dr. Cameron Fincher, director of the Institute of Higher Education at the University of Georgia. It was pub-ished in the Banner-Herald/Daily News of Athens, Ga., on Dec. 20, 1981. It is -4- reprinted here by reader request.) The national average for SAT scores does not depict an intellectual handicap. The thousands of applicants taking the test score about 400 on the verbal scale and a little higher on the mathematics scale. Because a score of 500 once represented the average, cynics have been alarmed about the nation's intellectual demise. No one wants to say exactly what a score of 400 on the verbal and math scales means in terms of general intelligence, learning ability, or academic promise. Yet students, as a group, who score 400 on the verbal scale and 400 on the math scale could be expected to make an IQ of about 108 on a well-standardized, fairly good intelligence test. Such students are not dullards. To the contrary, such students have scored higher in general intelligence than we would expect two-thirds of the general adult population to score. If they are not capable of doing creditable work at the college level, then may heaven protect us from all the adult learners who supposedly are anxious to return to college campuses. Those who developed and administer the SAT will protest that it does not measure general intelligence. Indeed, a scale ranging from 200 to 800 was devised so that SAT scores could not be confused with IQ scores. They are correct when they say SAT scores reflect developed abilities and not innate capacities. Scholastic aptitude is not a course taught in school but a general competency that develops concurrently with schooling over an extended period of time. Use of the SAT has been justified on the basis that it helps predict how well students do in college. It is not and should not be regarded as a standard by which to judge high schools, but it could be. It is not and should not be a standard by which to judge colleges, but it often is. Whatever the high school average represents, it accounts for about 25 percent of the achievement we see in freshman grades. Whatever the SAT represents, it can account for about 16 percent of freshman achievement. Together high school grades and SAT scores can account for almost 36 percent of first-year college achievement. Thus, SAT scores and high school achievement are not the same but do have some common features. SAT verbal and math scores are not the same and should not be totaled. All three can be helpful in predicting college grades, but the prediction of freshman achievement always leaves ample room for competent instruction, effective learning, and academic motivation. The uses of the SAT are well within the conceptual grasp of those average students who score around 400 on the verbal scale. The statistical computations involved in grade prediction should be comprehensible to those who score 400 on the math scale. Some of us believe that SAT scores also fall within the bounds of intelligibility for college faculty and high school teachers.

ACCLAIMED THEATRE OF DEAF TO PERFORM HERE MARCH 8 !,GilgameshM and "The Ghost of Chastity Past or The Incident at Sashimi Junction" will be presented here Monday, March 8, as a two-part drama production by the National Theatre of the Deaf. The two-hour program will begin at 8 p.m. in Hoey Auditorium under the sponsorship of WCU's LCE Program. Spellbinding an audience is something the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Theatre of the Deaf does very well. This professional acting company of deaf and hearing actors combines visual and spoken language to create a new theater form for all audiences. By blending visual and vocal language with movement and music, the troupe enables theater-goers to see every word they hear and hear every word they see. They company's sensual adaptation of "Gilgamesh" is acclaimed as a dazzling stage re-creation of the ancient Sumerian epic in which Gilgamesh, who is two parts god and one part man, defies his destiny in a quest for immortality. The saga of Gilgamesh abounds with tales of his exotic adventures, legends suggestive of the Bible, and astonishing exploits resembling "Arabian Nights." In its latest production, "The Ghost of Chastity Past or The Incident at Sashimi Junction," NTD presents the typical saloon scene of the American western, performed in the style of kabuki, the classical theater of the Japanese people. The plot is straight out of Hollywood horse operas, a tongue-in-cheek treatment of the struggle between good and evil and the eternal love triangle. This side-split-ting spoof on the old West has the unique flavor of a sukiyaki western. By kabuki tradition, there are only male performers. Female parts are acted by men who develop them into a high art form. In "The Ghost of Chastity Past," the NTD men follow this tradition, but the NTD women play the male parts. The kabuki actor plays up to the audience, moving about the stage in a manner stylized over the centuries. The movements are often exaggerated, because kabuki strives for a larger-than-life projection of human passions. NTD heightens the illusion with colorful costumes, settings, and ingenious devices. Blood rolls out instead of flows, and battles become ballets. "The Ghost of Chastity Past" was written by Shanny Mow, who also is responsible for NTD's adaptation of "Gilgamesh." Last season, playwright Mow's adaptation of Homer's epic, "The Iliad, Play by Play," was performed by the NTD off-Broadway, nationally, and in Europe. A former NTD actor and teacher, Mow was a participant in the NTD's Deaf Playwright's Conference and has been a script writer for the Emmy-award winning PBS television series for children, "Rainbow's End." The kabuki piece is directed by Peter -2- Sellars, director of more than 80 productions of plays and operas and a recent Henry Sheldon Traveling Scholar for Harvard University. The 24-year-old director spent three months in Japan researching theater and was described Jan. 11 in Newsweek as a "boy wonder" and a "brilliant visualizer" who "creates potent and enchanting images." Sahomi Tachibana, world-renowned performer and teacher of Oriental dance, is directing the movement for the piece. Tickets at the box office are $5 for adults, $2 for non-WCU students, and $1 for WCU students with valid I.D.'s. Subscribers to the LCE series are admitted without charge. ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY APPROVED UNC President William C. Friday has approved the establishment of a new engineering technology program at Western Carolina University. The four-year, bachelor of science degree program will be offered by WCU1s department of industrial education in the School of Technology and Applied Science. The approval means WCU will become the first university in the 16-eampus system to offer an independent four-year engineering technology program. A two-year transfer program in engineering technology is offered at UNC-Charlotte along with a four-year engineering program. Engineering technology, according to the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, involves the application of known engineering principles, whereas engineering emphasizes research, development, and the conceptual design of new theories. "Western North Carolina has a great need for practitioners of engineering, rather than engineering scientists," said Walter E. Thomas, dean of the School of Technology and Applied Science. "This program will provide those practitioners and will depend heavily on input from the department's industrial advisory committee for appropriate modifications as technology changes." Dr. Thomas said approval of the program will allow WCU to change the name of its manufacturing technology program to "manufacturing engineering technology" since the program already meets the necessary requirements specified by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. A similar "plus 2" program allows engineering technology students with associate degrees from technical colleges to complete a bachelor of science in manufacturing engineering technology in two years. In addition to the MET programs, WCU plans to offer other engineering technology specializations in microelectronics and construction as area industries indicate a need for graduates of such programs, said Dr. Thomas, adding that he hopes to develop a program in industrial engineering technology by the end of the academic year. At present, more than 240 American institutions offer four-year bachelor programs in engineering technology, graduating an average of 6,000 students each year. "Industry is totally supportive of these programs and is seeking graduates nationwide for appropriate jobs in such areas as project management, quality control, process planning, methods improvement, and materials management," said Dr. Thomas. Within these fields, he said, engineering technologists operate various engineering systems and translate concepts into hardware. "The starting salaries for inexperienced graduates usually range from $18,000 to $23,000 or about the same as those for engineering counterparts," he said. MATHEMATICS SPEAKER SCHEDULED Dr. Joseph A. Gallian, professor of mathematics at the University of Minnesota at Duluth, will present two lectures March 4 and 5 in Room 325 of Stillwell Building.

CHANCELLOR CALLS FOR AGRICULTURAL PLANNING In two recent speeches, WCU Chancellor H.F. Robinson pointed to agriculture and land use as areas needing careful planning during the coming years. Speaking to a Feb. 8 luncheon meeting of the Intentional Growth Center at Lake Juna-luska on the challenge to American agriculture, Dr. Robinson warned that U.S. agriculture not only faces serious problems in holding its productivity, but will face increasing pressures and demands as world population continues to grow. As principal speaker at a McDowell County NC 2000 kickoff meeting Feb. 18, attended by 75 community leaders, he identified land use planning, a raised level of education, and greater industrial development as areas needing attention in the county's plan. Considering the pressure of world population growth and the current dominance of American agriculture, Robinson asked at Junaluska, "how long will U.S. agriculture continue to expand to meet the growing domestic needs as well as the expanding international needs?" "Already we face some serious problems," Dr. Robinson said. "We are losing topsoil at a very rapid rate due to soil erosion." He added that one third of American crop lands now face declining productivity because of the loss of topsoil. "Another major factor," he pointed out, "is the loss of farm land to other causes such as urbanization, highways, airports, shopping centers, water reservoirs, and so forth. We are losing about 3 million acres of land per year to these causes and about a million acres are prime farm lands. "We cannot continue with this loss-and -4- meet our national and international obligations ," Robinson warned. Dr. Robinson also spoke on the rapidly changing structure of farming. "We are going to a smaller and smaller number of larger and larger farms," he said. "The average farm size is now about 400 acres and will be 600 acres by the year 2000. The number of farms is decreasing from a figure of 5.5 million in 1959. By the year 2000 we will have not the 2.5 million we have today, but about 1.8 million farms." Although McDowell County long enjoyed a reputation for the quality of its farmland, Dr. Robinson told its leaders that "serious things are happening to your land."
