A Weekly Newsletter for the Faculty and Staff e or of Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina September 5, 1980 WEEK-LONG MOUNTAIN HERITAGE CELEBRATION BEGINS SEPTEMBER 15 Western's sixth annual Mountain Heritage Day, our autumn celebration of natural plenty and neighborly merry-making, is just two weeks off. On Saturday, September 20, there will be fiddling, picking, clog dancing, singing, ham eating, c i der sipping, and contesting galore. The main event on Sat urday, which attrac t ed 10,000 last year, wil l provide continuous entert ainment f rom 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The activity centers upon the lawn of Belk Building, but the large number of musical and dance performances will requi re three stages. One will be at Belk and two at the Mountain Heritage Center's courtyard and auditorium. There'll be no shortage of toe-tapping music, with groups like the Dutch Cove String Band of Canton, the Marc Pruett Band of Asheville, Drink Small of Columbia, S.C., the Hominy Valley String Band of Candler, Earnest East and the Pine Ridge Boys and Patsy from Mt. Airy, Dave Holt from Swannanoa, and many more expected. There also will be clogging groups ranging in age from pre- schoolers to adul ts including the Flapjack Cloggers of Sylva, the Cullowhee Clogger s, the Carolina Cl ogge r s of Cant on, and the Pisgah View Ranch Cloggers of Candler . One musical highlight of recent years has been the Christian Harmony singing led by singing masters such as Richard Moss of Hayesville, Quay Smathers of Canton, John Homer Smith of Candler, and J.B. Parker of Ellijay, Ga . , whose 10-year-old grandson will be along this year as his understudy. Thanks to a grant from the Folk Arts Program of the National Endowment for the Arts, craftsmen and demonstrations for the 1980 event will be better than ever. More than two dozen demonstrators are expected to display traditional skills like fiddlemaking, corn-shuck dolls, pottery, basketry, quilting, gun smithing, spinning , shake making, and such. There will be mule-sleds and a wagon drawn by stunning Belgian horses, weather permi t ting. Food avail able on the grounds ranges f rom fry bread and ham biscuits to apple c i der squeezed while you watch. As with any gathering of neighbor s there is also some f riendly competition. Special events this year include a dog show, cat show, food fair for canned and baked goods, a black powder shoot sponsored by the Jackson County Shooting Club, a country run sponsored by the Cullowhee-Sylva Kiwanis Club, a horseshoe pitching contest, a tobacco-spitting contest sponsored by the Pinkerton Tobacco Co., a contest for cross-cut and chain saws, and a heap of truth-stretching. When the booths and exhibits shut down around 5 p.m., the entertainment will go on at the parking areas of E.J. Whitmire Stadi um. Barbecue dinners will be available at t he cafeterias. Mountain Herit age Day concl udes with Western Caroli na 's Southern Conference f ootball clash with Furman University at 7 p .m. i n Whitmire Stadium.

The awards in the amount of $19,104 and $13,345 were made through the Folk Arts Division of NEA. Dr. Clifford R. Lovin, Mountain Heritage c~nter director, said the grants will extend the employment of Blanton Owen, an archivist and folklore researcher who has served as a folklorist for the center since July 1979. A native of Charlottesville, Va., Owen is responsible for gathering information on traditional aspects of life in the area for the center, including beliefs, legends, sayings, and customs. Finding people who maintain pure regional traditions, he also helps organize crafts, music, and displays for Mountain Heritage Day, and assures their authenticity. and Exhibitions Committee and free to LCE subscribers. Admission will be charged to the general public. On Friday, September 19, from 8 until 11 p.m., there will be an Appalachian folk dance in the Grandroom of A.K. Hinds University Center featuring the Stoney Creek Boys and called by Ren Bannerman. A new exhibit at the Mountain Heritage Center entitled "Hazel Creek: Patterns of Life on an Appalachian Watershed" will open Saturday morning in Gallery "A". The exhibit, dealing with an area in Swain Co~nty including the present Fontana Lake, w~ll have a scale model of the watershed and a series of information panels dealing with the federal government's influence on the creek. September 20 will also be open house at WCU for high school juniors and seniors and twoyear college transfer students. These will be treated to a day's introduction to the university, including demonstrations by chemistry and art professors, tickets to the Furman game, and the various delights of Mountain Heritage Day itself. SDIP PROJECT TO IMPROVE RETENTION, OUTREACH For reasons of space, last week's Reporter could not describe all the programs involved in the $1.5 million project to strengthen Western as it enters the decade of the '80s. The remaining three programs in this major undertaking are aimed at improving retention of students, expanding the offerings and services of the Cherokee Center, and making better use of information systems. --A Comprehensive Approach to Retention Improvement is designed to attach major causes for dropping out of college. A progress-retention team will coordinate and integrate all of the services on campus that relate to student life, and seek through coordinated efforts to improve retention. A new program, the "Cullowhee Connection," will promote expansion and improvement of extracurricular activities in which students can take part. It will develop personal support groups, associating groups of 10 to 15 freshmen with one or two upperclassmen and at least one faculty, staff, or administration member. -3- The "Connection" also will create a "leisure adventures connection" to highlight area leisure-time activities and facilitate students' finding others with similar interests to their own. It will explore alternative transportation systems to increase student mobility and determine how to make better use of community activities. The program will be aimed at students with academic potential but with a high dropout potential. It also will be responsible for bringing handicapped students more fully into extracurricular activities. As at most universities, about 35 percent of WCU freshmen come undecided as to a major or career and lack some of the focused motivation others might have to progress beyond the first year of college. The retention program will include appointment of career alternatives counselors to work with students after they are admitted. Citing financial hardship as another cause of dropout, WCU will appoint a "part-time job developer" to help students in the early years find part-time work. The project also calls for strengthening the student financial aid office. --A Cherokee Center Development Program will build on the existing WCU program on the Cherokee Reservation. Western proposes to further develop the center by offering the first two years of a four-year program of study that is "goal oriented and serves as a springboard to the main campus." The center also will offer "culturally adapted" courses that incorporate the Cherokee culture and tradition. Special development programs will help Western faculty and staff become more familiar with the culture and needs of today's Cherokee. The program will further extend student support services to the Cherokee center, with a counselor to provide personal, social, and vocational counseling, academic assistance, and other services. --A Strengthening Institutional Management Program will permit Western to build upon its present planning mechanism, and further develop its management information systems. A large number of computerized opera7ions have been installed in recent years 1n a large, modern computer facility. But aca-demic and administrative needs have grown, and the management program needs to focus on new aspects of planning and management that have the greatest potential impact on institutional long-range operations. These will include expanding our integrated computerized data bases for "timely and informed decision-making," improving our capability for financial management, and increasing our capabilities for fund raising and development. SCIENTISTS CAN EXCHANGE WITH FRENCH PEERS In furtherance of a decision by the governments of France and the United States of America to develop scientific and technical cooperation, a program for exchange of young scientists is jointly sponsored and adminis• tered by the National Science Foundation of the United States and the National Center for Scientific Research of France. ExchangE awards are made for study or work in the mathematical, physical, chemical, engineering, biological, and social sciences, including economics. Awards will not be made in the medical sciences or in education or business fields. U.S. citizens or nationals who have earned doctorates not more than 5 years prior to the exchange are eligible. Nonprofit Frenct institutions of higher education; government research institutes, laboratories, or centers; and privately sponsored nonprofit institutes are potential places for the exchange visit, which should be between 5 and 15 months. Shorter or longer visits may be approved if adequately justified and recommended by the host institution. The competition is open now through November 1. Instructions and application materials may be obtained from the NSF, Division of International Programs, 1800 G Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20550. Most travel expenses and a living stipend are provided. For more information, contact the Office of Public Information. Hunter's Clarion, the library newsletter, reports that interlibrary loans are faster than ever with new on-line computer-based lending. Because it is no longer necessary to use the mails to locate desired books, materials borrowed from other libraries can be on their way to the borrower in Cullowhe• within a couple of days. SEASON OPENER IS STUDENT'S HISTORICAL PLAY The 1980-81 season of plays at Western will open September 15 with the premiere of Seed of Damnation, a historical drama by a senior speech and theatre arts major. The play, written by 27-year-old Robert I. Zipperer, Jr., will be presented at 7:30 p.m. September 15-20 in the Little Theatre in Stillwell Science Building. Set in 16th century England, Seed of Damnation revolves around the personal conflicts that William Shakespeare and his family encountered in a time when the official religion of England had changed to Anglicanism but the personal affections of many remained with their ancient faith, Catholicism. Throughout the three-act play, Shakespeare's conscience is torn between providing for his expectant wife, Anne Hathaway, and serving an Ecclesiastical Commission which threatens to persecute members of his family who are devout Catholics. Further conflicts arise as the play reveals plans by French and Spanish Jesuits which call for the assassination of Queen Elizabeth I. "The theme of the play brings out the idea that every individual, regardless of his background, holds within him the seed of damnation, which is religious fanaticism," said Dr. Donald L. Loeffler, head of WCU's department of speech and theatre arts and director of the play. Loeffler said Seed of Damnation is the first original, student-written play chosen by his department for a major production. Zipperer, a dean's list student, will play the part of Shakespeare in Seed of Damnation. The 19-member cast also includes Zipperer's wife, Vanessa Drake, as Queen Elizabeth; Lloyd Walter Eastland as Sir Thomas Lucy; Mark D. Hipps as Francis Throckmorton; Michael D. Jones as Sir Francis Walsingham; Jon Poston as Edward Arden; and Lee Reed as John Sommerville. For reservations, call ext. 7365. Tickets will go on sale at the Little Theatre box office September 10. Cost is $3 for adults, $2 for students, and $1 for children. -4- NIGERIAN TEXTILES SHOW WILL OPEN AT BELK A traveling exhibition of traditional, handcrafted Nigerian textiles will be on display September 8-30 in the art gallery of Carol Grotnes Belk Building at Western. Entitled "Nigerian Textiles: Evolution of Surface Design," the exhibit will open with a public reception at 7 p.m. Monday, September 8. During the opening, a program on the history and culture of Nigeria will be given by Rex 0. Ahara, a WCU graduate student from Nigeria, and Thomas E. O'Toole, associate professor of history. Featured in the exhibit are 69 examples of authentic Nigerian textiles representing the work of various ethnic groups in the African country. The collection thus displays a broad range of techniques and types of surface decorations, including those used in tie dying, batiking, embroidery, and woven fibers. The traveling exhibit first opened last November at the Trisolini Gallery of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. It was organized by two scholars of African history and culture, Judith Perani of Ohio University, and Lisa Aronson of Indiana University. From WCU, the exhibit will travel to the Milwaukee Museum of Art. The exhibit is sponsored here by the art department and is made possible in part by funds from the university's Lectures, Concerts, and Exhibitions Committee. There will be no charge for admission.

A Weekly Newsletter for the Faculty and Staff e or of Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina September 12, 1980 FALL ENROLLMENT IS UP, TRUSTEES TOLD A fall term enrollment of 7,000 students, including an 11.5 percent increase in graduate students, is shaping up at Western. Joseph D. Creech, director of academic services, said last Thursday, September 4, the number of continuing education students also is expected to be up by about II percent over last year. A combined undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education enrollment of 6,935 students was reported by Creech at a meeting of the university board of trustees. The continuing education enrollment of 500 students included in the total includes ~ome estimates based on anticipated registrations. Last year's continuing education total for the fall term was 448. Overall, the number of students for the fall term is up by better than three percent over fall 1979, Creech said. The number of students enrolled in the Graduate School is up from 924 in September 1979 to 1,031 this year, an 11.58 percent jump. James H. Glenn of Asheville was reelected chairman of the board, Jack M. Hennessee of Sylva was reelected vice chairman and Mrs. Avis Phillips of Robbinsville was reelected secretary. All three were elected unanimously. Five new members of the board of directors of the Development Foundation of Western Carolina University Inc. were elected by the trustees. They are James B. Childress of Sylva, Herbert L. Hyde of Asheville, Mrs. Helen B. Owen of Waynesville, Dr. Adelio Montanari of Miami, Fla., and David J. Conroy of Asheville. Childress is owner of Radio Station WRGC in Sylva and other broadcasting interests. Hyde, a former state senator and former state secretary of crime control and public safety., practices law in Asheville. Mrs. Owen is a former member of the WCU board of trustees. Dr. Montanari is head of the Montanari Residential Treatment Center in Hialeah, Fla. Conroy is secretary of Akzona, Inc. The trustees approved establishment of a Catamount Sports Network to provide radio broadcasts of WCU intercollegiate athletic events. Play-by-play broadcasts this year will be by David Steele of Asheville. Officers of the network corporation are Robert Waters, WCU athletic director and head football coach, chairman of the network board of directors; Joe Cornwell of WRGC in Sylva, vice chairman; Steve White of Cullowhee, WCU sports information direc~ tor, secretary; and Dr. C. Josep~ Carter, WCU vice chancellor for business affairs, treasurer and controller. Other network directors are James B. Childress, Mrs. Mickie Childress, both of Sylva, and William E. Scott, WCU legal counsel. In reports to the board, trustees were told: 1. A regional activities center being proposed will provide 8,500 seats for convocations, 7,500 for basketball events; will cost an estimated $16 million and will operate on an annual budget of about $340,000. 2. The university has filed a request with TVA to include WCU's old, dormant hydroelectric generating system in a TVA survey -2- of such plants that might be reactivated. If the plant, located on the Tuckaseigee River at Cullowhee, were restored to operation, it might provide as much as 20 percent of the university's power needs, the board was told. 3. Nine persons have joined the "Patrons of Quality" program since a May meeting when the first 100 donors were announced. Patrons are persons who give $10,000 to support university causes. Included in the patrons were eight active faculty members and eight retired faculty members. 4. A new computer likely will be acquired by or before the time the present Xerox 560 computer is paid for in 1982. The acquisition process will require a number of months for completion; but when complete, the new installation will about double the present computing power, the trustees were told. 5. Construction of a library addition costing more than $5 million is ahead of schedule. The board visited the construction site and also toured a remodeled Robertson Hall where 42 apartment units were created out of an old dormitory named in honor of the late Reuben B. Robertson of Asheville and Canton.

MEADERS POTTERY EXHIBITED AT CHELSEA An exhibit of traditional folk pottery handcrafted by Lanier Meaders of White County, Ga., is on display September 16 through October 9 in the Chelsea Gallery of Hinds University Center. The exhibit catalogue, entitled "A Conversation with Lanier Meaders," shows Meaders at work at Meaders Pottery in Georgia; in it, he discusses his work and life. Meaders, who is in his 60s, is best known for his large face jugs and functional folk pottery, including such things as churns, bowls, pitchers, and candle holders. His work has received national acclaim largely because it exemplifies a family folk tradition that dates back to 1893 when his grandfather built Meaders Pottery and encouraged his sons to learn the craft. Today, Meaders is the last of the family still working as a potter. Like his father and four uncles before him, he continues to make pots using an old treadle wheel and a 19th-century wood-fueled groundhog kiln, as well as clay that has undergone little processing and is free of commercial ingredients. His work, according to art critics, "exemplifies the ash-glazed objects made throughout the 19th century ••• and emanates a sense of unselfconsciousness and craftsmanship which may well be an expression of the simple lifestyle of the Meaders family." -3- TRYOUTS FOR WILD WEST SHOW IN CULLOWHEE Auditions will be held September 29 and 30 at 7 p.m. in the Little Theatre, Stillwell Building, for the play Indians by Arthur Kopit. Those who were here over the past summer may remember the stunning performance of Kopit's play Wings. Indians, to be performed November 17-22, stars Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill Hickok, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Red Cloud, and Crazy Horse--30 cowboys and Indians altogether, plus Annie Oakley and two other women. The highly theatrical play includes part of a real Indian sun dance, rifle fire, and authentic speeches from great Indian heroes. Especially memorable is the tragic surrender speech of Chief Joseph. Donald L. Loeffler, head of the department of speech and theatre arts, says, "You don't need training or experience, just a desire to get in on a great western play. Some roles have few or no lines. Rehearsals will begin on Wednesday, October 8, after fall break. We do not rehearse Friday or Saturday evenings. Only Buffalo Bill attends all rehearsals." UNIVERSITY FORUM MEETS SEPTEMBER 22 The University Forum for September 22 will be meeting, as usual, in the Natural Sciences Auditorium from 7 until 9 p.m. This week's guest is Lt. Col. Mike Patterson of the John F. Kennedy Center for Military Assistance at Ft. Bragg. He will be speaking on the topic "The Middle East and the U.S." Just retu·rned from duty with the Sinai peace-keeping force, he is a longtime specialist in Middle Eastern affairs. WHAT SHOULD WESTERN'S NEW FIGHT SONG SAY? Western is going to have a new fight song. The melody has been developed by composer Dick Trevarthen and band director Joe Scagnoli, both members of the music department. The song will be played at the Furman game September 20 and may be part of a pep session or pre-game activities. But it needs words. A lyric contest is open to anyone in the university. Melody sheets are available in the music department and other spots about campus, and the tune was printed in last week's Western Carolinian. Deadline for submission (to Joe Scagnoli) is October 10. Prize: $50.

GRANT FUNDED POSITION, Filling of position is contingent upon final clao~ificati0n app~oval, A Weekly Newsletter for the Faculty and Staff e or of Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina September 26, 1980 MOUNTAIN HERITAGE AWARD HONORS OLD SKILLS A highlight of Western's sixth annual Mountain Heritage Day celebration came when Chancellor H.F. Robinson presented the 1980 Western Carolina University Mountain Heritage Award to Jane and Arvel Greene, who are both descendants of pioneer western North Carolina families. In making the award, Dr. Robinson said "they have kept alive a self-sufficient way of life ••• pioneer crafts and skills, the pioneer way of independent living, and the old-fashioned homestead life." The Greenes for the past decade have become known to hundreds of thousands of travelers as the man and wife who demonstrate daily pioneer living at the Oconoluftee Visitor Center of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There, Greene carries on all activities for daily sustenance like the first settlers. Fields are plowed, crops harvested. Pigs are raised. Hay is grown and stacked. A forge stays busy at the blacksmith shop, where Greene makes horseshoes, fireplace cranes, hoes, plow points, and whatever else is needed. He rives oak shingles for roofing and palings for fences. He builds plow stocks. At Mingus Mill nearby, he prepares the great grinding stones and helps to mill corn meal. His wife, Jane, cares for the house and helps in the garden. Spins wool into yarn. Quilts on an old frame lowered from the ceiling when she works on the colorful patterns. Churns milk into butter. Cans vegetables over a fireplace bed of coals. In the late summer, they prepare hominy from corn. Using lye they have earlier prepared, they make their own soap. In the fall, their doings draw visitors from all over the nation. Jane and Arvel hitch mules to an old cane press, squeeze the juice from the stalks, and then boil it outdoors until it is made into sorghum molasses. But, said Robinson, it was not only for their dedicated work in preserving and demonstrating these crafts and skills that the award was given to Jane and Arvel Greene. "What makes Western Carolina University especially proud to honor Jane and Arvel," he said, "is that in all of these activities, they have preserved in their own selves such traits and characteristics as modesty, ability, self-reliance, and a reverence for life that marked the ancestry of western North Carolina." The Greenes are natives of Swain County. Both were raised in the communities where they were born. -2- In 1931, Greene likes to recall, his record as a secondary school student had been so good that the late H.T. Hunter, then president of Western Carolina Teachers College, offered him "all the college could teach" if he could raise $45 to help defray the costs. But times were hard in the Great Depression, and he turned, instead, to work and carpentry. He and Jane, married in 1934, made their first home near Alarka Creek and later along the Little Tennessee River near Almond. In the 1940s, they moved to their present home near Whittier. In that dwelling, parts of which are more than 200 years old, they carried on the tradition of pioneer living, and, Mrs. Greene says, "could get along very well without electricity," although they do have it. They raised four daughters and a son. As their way of life drew attention, Arvel was asked by the Great Smoky Mountains Natural History Association to help with the establishment of the farmstead, and he was employed by the association to make all of the furniture in the home except a bedstead and loom. (Now, using black walnut, he is making a loom for the homestead.) Later, Greene joined the National Park Service to continue the work he had begun for the association. About eight years ago, Jane joined him on the farmstead and the place since has become one of the most popular stopping points for park visitors. CIML HELPS BUSINESS, SPONSORS SEMINARS Businesses that have experienced a loss of sales or profits over the past year due to foreign import competition may qualify for assistance under an ongoing U.S. program being implemented through Western's Center for Improving Mountain Living. CIML has been designated, under a contract with the Southeastern Trade Adjustment Assistance Center at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, to work with all North Carolina firms hurt by foreign imports. To become eligible for funding , a firm must show that foreign import competition is causing a decrease in its production or sales, or threatening unemployment of its work force. Once a company has been certified, according to Jim Cavanagh, new manager of the program at CIML, the firm may receive technical assistance--in marketing, engineering, management, or other areas--to develop a proposal for its economic revitalization. Financial assistance such as loans or loan guarantees for capital improvements, equipment, or working capital are also available. Under a separate program, co-sponsored by the Economic Development Administration, the Small Business Administration, the National Association of Accountants, Mayland Technical Institute and the Greater Shelby Chamber of Commerce, CIML is offering a number of business seminars and counseling sessions in September and October. Kevin Hall is conducting the seminar, "Bookkeeping for Small Businesses," in ten WNC towns, covering the importance of records, money management, accounting journals, financial statements, the general ledger, accounts receivable, taxes, depreciation, ratios, and break-even analysis. Free counseling sessions on marketing, finance, sales, advertising, going into business, accounting, small business loans, government financing, franchises, and new business ideas are being offered throughout the 28 western-most counties, thanks to a grant from the EDA. These counseling sessions continue a technical assistance program that Western has operated since 1969. FORUM SUBJECT IS REFUGEE ADJUSTMENT The University Forum, an elective course open to anyone interested in attending, will have as its guest September 29 John Hitchcock.

Organized Crime was published in August by Allyn and Bacon. The publishers describe it as follows: "Here is a well-documented and comprehensive reference book offering the most up-to-date legal strategies and law enforcement tools for uncovering, preventing, and combatting organized crime. It is filled with valuable insights gathered from law enforcers, scholars, journalists, and members of organized crime. Howard Abadinsky gives the total and factual picture of organized crime, including its origins, key leaders, and the reasons it evolved as a means to power and profit." A pre-publication reviewer, Professor Larry K. Gaines of the College of Law Enforcement, Eastern Kentucky University, said the book "is a down to earth, academic approach to the subject. By that I mean the author took great care in developing the (book) along factual lines. In the past, too many such (books) emphasized the glorified aspects rather than the truth •••• All the major areas relative to organized crime were addressed. The approach of contrasting organized crime to white collar crime and criminological theory is both unique and refreshing." NEW GROUP TO ALLEVIATE EVILS OF CRIME Phoenix is a new statewide organization aimed at stemming the flow of North Carolina youth into the state's prisons and at assisting inmates, ex-offenders, and others involved in criminal justice. Its top officers met recently with Jackson County citizens and Western Carolina University students to discuss the possibility of forming a local chapter. The fledgling union of volunteers tries to prevent children from becoming involved in criminal activities; to make life more bearable for men and women in prison; to reduce the number of those who return to prison; and to assist the victims of crime. North Carolina has more people, per capita, entering prison each year than any other state in the nation. -4- NAMES IN THE NEWS JENNIE HUNTER (Administrative Services) recently served as advisor to a group of seven Western students who represented the WCU chapter of Phi Beta Lambda at that business organization's national convention in Washington, D.C.
