Franke, formerly vice president of information technology and research at Lansing Community College in Lansing, Michigan, began his job as the first chief information officer at Western December 15. Franke will oversee all aspects of the university's information technology operations. Franke joined the staff at Lansing Community College in 1980 as director of that school's reading and writing programs. For the next thirteen years, he held a number of academic positions at that institution, including interim dean of the division of arts and sciences and acting vice president for academic and student affairs. Franke began working in the area of information technology at Lansing Community College in 1993, when he became dean of institutional research and planning. He also held the title of dean of information technology and planning before assuming his latest position in 1999. First Chief Inf ormation Officer As vice president of information technology and research at the college, Franke managed an $18 million budget for technology operations and upgrades. He also has worked on special projects, including a technology migration plan from mainframe to client-server based infrastructure; new software systems; campuswide voice, video, and data networks; and a new technology and learning center. Franke earned his undergraduate degree in English at Columbia College of Columbia University, and he holds a master's degree in English from Wayne State University, a master's degree in reading from Frostburg State College, and a doctoral degree in English education from the University of Maryland. Thomas Franke Vice Chancellor for Advancement, External Affairs No Stranger to WNC Region As the newest addition to the Western family, Clifton Metcalf, vice chancellor for advancement and external affairs, began work January 15. Metcalf leaves his position as associate vice president for state governmental affairs for The University of North Carolina system, where he served as the system's primary liaison with North Carolina State Government. He also has served as interim vice president for public affairs for UNC. He was associate vice chancellor for public affairs at Appalachian State University from 1996 until 1998. During his career in higher education, Metcalf also has held several positions at UNC Chapel Hill, including federal and state government liaison, associate vice chancellor for university relations, and director of news services. Metcalf returns to the mountains where he enjoyed a thirty-year career in journalism. He was the executive editor of the Moun-taineer newspaper in Waynesville and partner in publishing companies that operated weekly newspapers in Canton and Marshall. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Metcalf earned his bachelor's degree from UNC Chapel Hill in 1959, where he studied as a Morehead Scholar. As a member of Western's senior management team, the vice chancel-lor for advancement and external affairs oversees the Office of Alumni Affairs, Cata-mount Club athletics booster organization, Office of University Advancement, Office of Public Informa-tion, and Mountain Heritage Center. Clifton Metcalf Faculty Member Gibbs Knotts Proudly Bears Olympic Flame in Asheville Run Some people use soap and water to clean the glass crown on their used Olympic torches, but not Western faculty member Gibbs Knotts. He plans to keep his just the way it is—covered with soot. Knotts, assistant professor of political science and public affairs, has an official Olympic torch in his Sylva home as a permanent reminder of December 5, when he joined six other area residents in running the Olympic flame through Asheville, one leg of the flame's journey across forty-six states from Atlanta, home of the 1996 Summer Olympics, to Salt Lake City, Utah, where the winter games will be held in February. Knotts would not have had an opportunity to carry the torch if it had not been for his wife, Stacy, who nominated him (without his knowledge)to be a torchbearer. A total of 11,500 torchbearers across the nation, all with inspirational stories to tell, were chosen for the honor out of 210,000 nominees. The nationwide selection process was conducted by the Salt Lake Organizing Committee and torch relay sponsors Chevrolet and Coca-Cola. Arriving home from work one day last August, Knotts found a strange package had arrived in the mail—from the Olympic organizing committee— informing him that he had been picked to help carry the flame. His wife had nominated him because of the obstacles he overcame following a vehicle accident in May 2000. Shortly after joining the WCU faculty, Knotts and his brother were traveling from Cullowhee to Atlanta when they were involved in a head-on collision. Knotts, a high school and college track star, suffered a ruptured patella tendon in his knee. Knotts went through six months of rehab-ilitation, and eight months after surgery was able to run again, but he has had to forget about running marathons. "My knee is still stiff and some of the muscles are not as strong as they were before the accident, but I am very happy to be alive, and I know the accident could have been much worse," he said. Knotts said he was not too nervous, but felt "very humbled and very honored" as he rode in a support bus on December 5, waiting for his turn to carry the flame along U.S. 25 south of Asheville. Dressed in an official torchbearer uniform and surrounded by support runners and vehicles, Knotts ran his .2-mile of the course. Then he passed on the flame to a special guest torchbearer, NASCAR race driver Kyle Petty. Knotts said his run was in honor of police officers and firefighters in Asheville, for whom he has found a new appreciation after the terrorist attacks. He teaches many Asheville Police Department staff members who are enrolled in WCU's master's degree program in public affairs. Knotts said he also was running in honor of Charles Stevens, former chair of WCU's political science department, who died recently. All the torchbearers taking part in the Atlanta to Salt Lake City relay can buy the torch they carried as a keepsake, and Knotts did. The flame, which represents the Olympic athletes' passion for competition and victory, is the only part that changes hands as the relay moves across the country. Gibbs Knotts (left) hands off the Olympic flame to NASCAR driver Kyle Petty during the Asheville leg of the Olympic torch relay.

Inspecting the WCU campaign sign are (left to right) Gene McAbee, 2002 campaign chairperson; Carol Burton, 2001 campaign chairperson; and Barbara Ashe, member of the regional campaign advisory committee. Western Carolina University employees pledged $34,634 to the 2001 State Employees Combined Campaign, which provides financial support to the Jackson County United Way and a variety of state, national, and international charitable agencies. The annual fund-raising campaign provides an opportunity for all state employees across North Carolina to assist nearly 1,000 charitable organizations that provide valuable community services. The campaign is the only officially sanctioned fund drive on the WCU campus. Western's pledge total was about $1,100 above this year's goal. "Once again, our university community has demonstrated in a grand way its capacity for caring for others by contributing generously to the State Employees Combined Campaign," said Chancellor John W. Bardo. "In times like these, when international affairs are taking so much of our collective attention, it is especially important that we remember to help these agencies that work so hard to meet the basic needs of our fellow citizens." The State Employees Combined Campaign is operated and administered completely by state employees. On the WCU campus, a network of about sixty-five volunteer solicitors disseminates and collects pledge forms. "In a time when we face so many other demands on our time and resources, it renews my faith in our community that we can still make it a priority to help those less fortunate than ourselves," said Carol Burton, campaign coordinator at WCU. "We are deeply appreciative for all the pledges from the WCU community.

We reflect on accomplishments and make plans for a new year. Uppermost in all of our minds is the tight financial situation of the state and Western. Just as in not so good times, a family sticks together and weathers the storm. Our Western family has pulled together, just as a family pulls together, to weather the tight financial times. I commend the cooperation and hard work all of you are doing to help get us through this time. This is further proof of your dedication to this university. Western has a lot to look forward to in the coming year. Construction projects are progressing with several being com­pleted in the upcoming months. We've taken the construction upheaval in stride and continued to teach and work. Even though Western topped the 7,000 student mark this fall, we will strive to work on increasing enrollment for next year and the future. We have achieved a lot this year by working together for the good of the univer­sity. I h ope the spirit of cooperation and diligence will continue as we embrace the challenges of the new year. Deborah joins me in wishing you and your family a happy holiday! Sincerely, John Bardo Chancellor News for the Fa culty and Staff of Western Carolina University Program Helps Support County Christmas Store Long known for having generous "angels," Western once again is helping support the Jackson County Christmas Store through Angel Wings, a program sponsored by the Department of Residential Living. The Christmas Store, located at the Baptist Student Center, allows parents in need, as designated by the Jackson County Department of Social Services, to purchase Christmas gifts for their children at the greatly reduced price of ten cents on the dollar. More than 700 children received Christmas gifts through the store last year. The Angel Wings program allows individuals to support the Christmas Store in several ways. A monetary donation may be made in the form of cash or check made payable to the Jackson County Christmas Store and sent to the Department of Residential Living in a sealed envelope. The donation must be sent with an Angel Wings contribution form, which can be obtained at the Department of Residential Living office, located on the ground floor of Scott Residence Hall. A merchandise contribution can be given by selecting an ornament from an Angel Wings tree on campus and purchasing the item described. The new and unwrapped gift with receipt, along with the ornament, should be taken to the Department of Residential Living office. Angel Wings trees are located in Brown and Dodson cafeterias and at A.K. Hinds University Center, H.F. Robinson Administration Building and the Department of Residential Living office. Western students, faculty and staff may contact the Department of Residential Living at 227-7303 to request an ornament be sent through campus mail. Individuals also may volunteer time at the Christmas Store. For store hours, call the Baptist Student Center at 293-9030. "For fifteen years I have been a part of this program, and every year is a deeply touching experience. Over $35,000 is generated each year through compassion for others," said the Reverend Wanda Kidd of the WCU Baptist Student Center. Gifts will be accepted until noon on Wednesday, December 18, at the Department of Residential Living office. For more information, contact the department at 227-7303. Students begin to collect toys for the Angel Wings program. Pictured from left to right are Bryant Barnett, Alison Lyons , and Courtney Sandler. Historian's Work with Church Evolves into "Great Journey" When Western faculty member Linda Culpepper began researching the history of African-American churches in Western North Carolina two years ago, she had no idea her work would evolve into "a great intellectual, academic, and spiritual journey," but that is exactly what happened. Culpepper, visiting lecturer in history, was just looking for some reliable records to use in writing the dissertation for her doctoral degree, but her work led her to Mud Creek Missionary Baptist Church, a little church in Henderson County that was founded by African-Americans in 1867. It turned out that the church was in dire financial condition, with its handful of remaining members saddled with a $14,000 mortgage they couldn't pay from a 1996 construction project. Culpepper, captivated by the church's rich history, and not wanting to see it lost, alerted the local media to the church's plight this past June. The New York Times wire service picked up the story and distributed it nationwide, and suddenly donations started coming in, including a single $14,400 gift from an anonymous donor that covered the entire mortgage. Culpepper said she is heartened that the story had a happy ending for the church, but takes none of the credit for herself. "Mud Creek Church was saved because of its historical significance. People responded to the history," she said. Culpepper's interest in the history of African-American churches in WNC began two years ago when she was looking for a topic on which to base a seminar. She was living in Sylva and commuting to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville to work on her doctoral degree in history, but she needed a t opic to investigate closer to home. A historian friend suggested that Culpepper research a black commune that was located on the South Carolina-North Carolina line during the post-Civil War years. In looking for information, Culpepper discovered there were several African-American churches in Henderson County during those years, and "church records, when you can find them, are an excellent source on people and families," she said. Culpepper contacted the Mud Creek pastor, who surprised her by saying the church still had possession of most of its old records. Culpepper told the church members she would write a church history for them if they would assist her in her research. "Historians are supposed to be objective and removed, but that was impossible," Culpepper said. "Once I met these folks, they just welcomed me in. It was an immediate connection." Culpepper has spoken at Mud Creek Church's Homecoming for the past several years, and she joined with church members again this past September for a special Homecoming event — the burning of the mortgage. She also was able to deliver the church history on that day, and the members are selling it as a fund-raiser. Culpepper donated copies of the Holiday on Parade Mud Creek Church history to the special collections departments at Western's Hunter Library and the Appala­chian State University library, the Baptist collec- Linda Culpepper tion at Wake Forest University, and the Henderson County Historical and Genealogical Society. Culpepper plans to continue her research into "African-American commu­nity building" in the region, with hopes of obtaining her doctoral degree in the next two years. Her work will take her to other churches and communities as she seeks information about the African-American experience in post-Civil War Western North Carolina, but she said her experi­ence with the members of Mud Creek Church will remain special. Western athletes show their spirit of the season as they participate in t he annual Sylva Christmas Parade December 3 in th e downtown area.

    Abstract:

    The Reporter is a publication produced by Western Carolina University featuring news, events, and campus community updates for faculty and staff. The publication began in August of 1970 and continues digitally today. Click on the link in the “Related Materials” field to access recent issues.Reporter April 5, 7997 Cullowhee, North Carolina Visiting professor: 'keep quiet and listen* ome students just don't know a qualified teacher when they see one. But in the case of one visiting professor on campus this semester, that's probably because he hasn't revealed his "true" identity to the class he teaches. The Right Reverend William Weinhauer, visiting professor of religion, retired in 1990 as bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina. This semester, he's teaching a section of Religion 104, "The Biblical World," to students in WCU's Department of Religion and Philosophy. So as not to intimidate or awaken preconceptions in his students, Weinhauer has given them little notion exactly who he is. "I'm not sure any of them do know," Weinhauer said, "although one of them had heard that I had taught on the seminary level and wanted know if I intended to teach on that level here." Originally from New York City, Weinhauer moved with his wife Jean and family to Asheville in 1973, when he was elected bishop. He served in the position seventeen years. Ordained a priest forty years ago, Weinhauer has since served in numerous positions that include rector of Christ Church in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; vicar of St. Paul's Church in Pleasant Valley, N.Y.; and priest associate and director of Christian education at the church of St. James the Less in Scarsdale, N.Y. He was a member of the faculty of the General Theological Seminary in New York from 1961 to 1971, and a professor of New Testament in the late 1950s at St. Andrew's Theological Seminary in Quezon City, Philippines. He held chaplaincies at various sites in the Philippines between 1956 and 1960. Teaching is one of Weinhauer's best loves, and, as he pointed out, "bishops have ample opportunity to exercise the teaching role." But upon his retire­ment he found teaching opportunities growing fewer, he said. Weinhauer Then, "out of the blue came a nice call from Mike Jones (head of the Department of Philosophy and Religion)." Would Weinhauer be interested in teaching a course? The rest, as they say, is history. And history, it turns out, plays a big part in the instruction Weinhauer delivers here. At state and non-church-affiliated educational institutions, he said, "you cannot speak as freely from a faith commitment stance." His students are covering the sixty-six books of the Bible from historical and literary viewpoints. The text is an ecumenical, or universal, critical study bible. He said visiting professors, because of the brevity of their tenure, have unique perspectives on the university. "I can bring an objectivity to topics that can become very subjective," Weinhauer said. But he follows faithfully a piece of advice given him long ago: "Sit and observe. Keep quiet and listen for a year." Meanwhile, he remains active in research on biblical themes, meetings of learned societies in theology and archaeology, and another of his passions—sailing, which he said offers time and space for "marvelous contemplation." He frequently charters a boat to sail on New England coastal waters with his son-in-law, a resident of Old Town, Me. In addition, lectures and retreats have taken Weinhauer to several states in recent years. He spoke and taught last year in Ohio, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. He has done church-related travel in France, Turkey, Israel, Italy, Canada, Great Britain, and the Virgin Islands. - Joey Price News briefs HUNTER LIB RARY WILL FEATURE FACULTY PUBLICATIONS in an exhibit on display there April 15-May 15.

Western Carolina University Is an Equal Opportunity Institution. Former chairman of trustees Jack Abbott dies Jack Abbott, former chairman of the board of trustees, died Monday, April 25, in Haywood County. He was 74 years old. A native of Tift County, Ga., he had lived in Haywood County since 1934. Abbott was a strong supporter of education in Western North Carolina and was serving his first term as a member of the Haywood County school board. He served on the WCU board of trustees from 1969 until 1983, holding the positions of chairman and vice chairman at various times during his tenure. He also had been a trustee of Mars Hill College. Abbott was president of Canton Fuel Oil Company and had been named "Lion of the Year" and "Kiwanis Man of the Year" by the Canton clubs.

April 5. 1991 The Reporter Reporter April 12 Cullowhee, North Carolina "There's nothing greater than to call your former teacher, fellow educator, and mentor your friend." - Selina McCuiston, senior Teaching Fellow Future teachers honor those who inspired them enior Julie Jones didn't think twice about the "most influential teacher" she'd invite to a luncheon honoring Western's thirteen graduating Teaching Fellows. "My second-grade teacher at Camp Lab School, Linda Hooper, was the first person who popped into my mind," Jones says. Until she entered Hooper's class, Jones disliked school. "My mother used to call me her kindergarten dropout. But Mrs. Hooper made school and learning fun," Jones says. "She was encouraging, creative, and enthusiastic. Because of her, I wanted to become a teacher." That's precisely the point of Saturday's luncheon and program honoring WCU's first group of graduating Teaching Fellows and the teachers who most influenced them over the years. "We wanted to do something special for our senior Teaching Fellows and agreed it would be most appropriate to honor those teachers who had influenced their decisions to become teachers," says Eleanor Lofquist, director of special programs in the School of Education and Psychology. The guest list features an eclectic group: high-school English teachers, elementary and middle-school teachers, WCU faculty members, student-teaching supervisors, a Girl Scout leader. Laura Cathey of Canton is inviting WCU English professor Bill Higgins, and Jennifer Lewandowski of Belmont is inviting her program mentor and academic adviser Judith Clauss. Teachers of high-school English who are luncheon guests include Marian Harrison of Smoky Mountain, invited by Earl Frizzell; Nancy Potts Coward, formerly of Smoky Mountain, Anna Hair's guest; and Douglass Rudkoff of Tri-County Community College, Pam Brackett's guest. Other guest teachers are Shawna Cabe's third-grade teacher at Log Cabin School and recently her block supervisor, Louise Burrell, now at Camp Lab; Beverly Marshall, Amy Fernald's supervising teacher at Waynesville Junior High School; and Wanda Henson, who was Ann Golston's Girl Scout leader in Franklin. Bonnie Meadows, seventh-grade teacher at Erwin Middle School in Buncombe County, was Selina McCuiston's favorite teacher, McCuiston says. "Not only was she my teacher throughout this time of growth and maturing, but she was also my friend," McCuiston writes in a short essay for the luncheon program. "There's nothing greater than to call your former teacher, fellow educator, and mentor your friend." McCuiston says that since seventh grade she and Meadows have kept in touch. "We talk frequently and even have Yahtzee tournaments at the beach." Katrina Turbyfill says that her eighth-grade teacher at Alarka Elementary School, Robert Prier, pushed hard and expected only the best. "During that year, he helped form a bunch of country children into a family," Turbyfill writes. "This is a feeling that still lasts. He supported us when we needed him, corrected us when we had done something wrong, and stood up for us when we could not do it for ourselves. He allowed me to replace my faith in teachers and instilled in me a desire to become one." English major Laura Cathey says Bill Higgins was a natural choice. "He's one of those teachers who doesn't just get up and lecture. He has what we students call 'with-it-ness.' And his sense of humor is incredible." Higgins takes a genuine interest in her—and all his students—and has conveyed his own love of learning for the sake of learning, she says. "He talks about literature in relation to current issues and how people conduct their lives. For me, he has opened up new ways of thinking." Jennifer Lewandowski's guest, Judith Clauss, has been a cheerful, informative, and helpful mentor, Lewandowski says. They worked on a project together, compiling an annotated bibliography of mathematics books for children. "She gave me direction," Lewandowski says. English major Julie Jones attributes her love of writing to Linda Hooper. "She had us writing continued on back page News briefs FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE UNITS OF BLOOD is the goal for a three-day drive on campus planned by the Asheville Area Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Project CARE will ease transition for black students The Office for Student Development and the Office of Academic Services have begun a new program on campus designed to encourage African American students at WCU to complete their college studies and improve their overall academic performance. Organizers inaugurated Project CARE (Commit­ted to African American Retention in Education) with a reception October 1. "Research indicates that when African American students attend a predominantly white institution, an additional adjustment period is required. This program is designed to assist in making that transi­tion a healthy experience for African American students at WCU," said Jennifer Williams, assistant to the vice-chancellor for student development. The program, which is for first-year African American students, will include seminars, study groups, a fall retreat, and a peer counseling program. For more information on Project CARE, call the Office for Student Development at 227-7234.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC RECEIVED FULL ACCREDITATION recently from the National Asso ciation of Schools of Music (NASM). The department was awarded a five-year membership in NASM, the maximum a department may receive as a first-time full member. The action from NASM culminates a six-year accreditation process and a two-year self-study by the Music Department, which previously held associate membership in the organization. To be fully accredited, schools of music must meet specific criteria in several areas, including curriculum, faculty expertise, quality of instruction, facilities and equipment, and library holdings, among others. COMMUNICATION AND THEATRE ARTS I S THE NEW NAME of the depart­ment formerly called Speech and Theatre Arts. The new name is designed to reflect better the department's variety of courses, including traditional speech classes, argumentation and debate, and media and broadcasting. "The term 'communication' covers all of those disciplines, while the term 'spe ech' really does not," said Dr. Larry Hill, head of the department. "This more clearly states the university's ability to meet the needs of students who are looking at the communication field as a discipline of study." The new name more accurately describes what graduates of the program do in the workplace, Hill said. In addition, the new name reflects existing links to journalism courses in the Depart­ment of English. WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY Monday 7 American Red Cross Bloodmobile.

Morton receives Mountain Heritage Award Hugh Morton, owner and developer of Grandfa­ther Mountain and a leader in efforts to combat the damaging effects of acid rain, is the recipient of the Mountain Heritage Award for 1991, given during the seventeenth annual Mountain Heritage Day festivities on September 28. Morton received the award for his efforts to preserve the natural heritage of the mountains and "his magnificent legacy of achievements and contributions," said Chancellor Myron L. Coulter, who made the presentation. A native of Wilmington, Morton inherited ownership of 5,964-foot Grandfather Mountain, highest in the Blue Ridge Mountains, in 1952 when the estate of his grandfather, Hugh MacRae, was divided. Morton has steadfastly defended the mountain since, especially against early efforts to route the Blue Ridge Parkway along the mountain's side. He has often appeared before Congressional committees and in countless public and civic arenas in support of preservation causes, includ­ing the battle against acid rain. For his efforts he has such awards as the National Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Award and the North Carolina Public Service Award. Activities • Dr. Richard C. Berne (Chemistry and Physics) was named head of the Department of Chemistry and Physics in September. A member of the faculty for more than twenty-two years, Berne is a professor of science education and has held several administrative posts on campus. He directs the Summer Ventures Program in Mathematics and Science and the Center for Environmental/Energy Education. • Susan Bogart (Rural Education) attended the Appalachian Regional Commission Honors Workshop at the Oak Ridge (Tenn.) National Laboratory during two weeks in July and August The workshop was designed to enhance math and science skills of students and teachers. Participants conducted research in processing zirconia-strengthened alumnia ceramics and the "creep" and tensile strength of various metals and alloys. Bogart will share information from the workshop with students and teachers in the region. • Dr. David Butcher (Chemistry and Physics) was one of twenty-nine university faculty members in the United States selected by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to attend a short course held this summer at Virginia Tech. The foundation paid for participants to attend the course, entitled "Teaching Macro-Molecular Chemistry and Engineering in the Undergraduate Curriculum" and designed to encourage the teaching of polymers in undergraduate chemistry courses. The program was organized by the American Chemical Society and Virginia Tech. • Joan Byrd (Art) gave three presentations at "Overview of North Carolina Glass," a session offered at Penland School, September 1-7. • Dr. Mario Gaetano (Music) recently published two transcriptions for advanced mallet and keyboard ensembles. The transcriptions, published by Permus Music Publications of Columbus, Ohio, are of PachelbeFs "Kanon in D" and Bach's "Organ Fugue in G Major." • Dr. Robin Kowalski (Psychology) received an award for research from Division 35 of the Ameri­can Psychological Association and the Associa­tion of Women in Psychology. This summer she presented a paper entitled "Inferring Sexual Interest from Behavioral Cues: Effects of Sex and Sexual Attitudes" at the meeting of the American Psychological Society in Washington, D.G • Joyce A. Prewitt (Social Work and Sociology) presented a paper entitled "State-Dependent Learning and Set Theory" at the first Soviet- American seminar on Humanistic Psychology and Human Sciences, held in July in the Russian city of Galicino, near Moscow. Her paper reviewed psychedelic drugs, multiple-personality disorder, and clinical hypnosis as they relate to state-depen­dent learning, the phenomenon in which learning done in a particular state of consciousness is most easily retrieved by returning to that state of consciousness. The proceedings of the conference will be published in Russian and English. • Elizabeth Simmons-Rowland and JoAnn Glasscock (Nursing) attended a meeting in July at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that focused on nursing outcomes in nurse-managed health-care settings for the homeless and selected elderly populations. The meeting hosted nurse managers and faculty members from the State University of New York at Buffalo, Medical University of South Carolina, and Emory Univer­sity. Participants organized a Consortium of Nursing Centers and developed a pilot study for each center. In the consortium's local pilot study, Simmons-Rowland, Glasscock, and Mable Carlyle (Nursing) work with the nurses' clinic sponsored at the Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry shelter for the homeless by the Department of Nursing's chapter of Sigma Theta Tau international nursing honor society.

Merged will be the School of Technology and Applied Science, with a faculty of twenty-five, and the School of Nursing and Health Sciences, with a faculty of twenty-two. The merger, Wakeley said, will bring under one administrative unit most of the university's profes­sional preparation programs other than education and business, which have their own schools. J. Dale Pounds, dean of the School of Technol­ogy and Applied Science, will become dean of the new school. Thomas F. Connelly, Jr., dean of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences and asso­ciate professor of health sciences, will join the teaching faculty. Announcement of the plans, under development by the two deans since last July, was made at a joint meeting of the faculties involved. Programs now in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences will be organized in two depart­ments in the new structure: a department of nursing and a department of health sciences. Barbara Lovin, now director of the emergency medical care program, will become head of the health sciences department which will include programs in environmental health, health services management and supervision, medical record administration, clinical laboratory sciences, and emergency medical care. Vivian Deitz, current head of nursing, will continue in that capacity in the consolidated school. The departments of criminal justice, human environmental sciences, and industrial and engi­neering technology from the School of Tech­nology and Applied Science will continue in the new school framework, under the direction of department heads William Pelfrey, Davia Allen, and George DeSain, respectively. Wakeley said there are sound reasons relating to curriculum, administrative efficiency, and faculty governance for reorganizing to form the new school. Bringing the health, technical, and military sciences together will best position the university for the next five to ten years of curriculum development, he said. Many Army ROTC cadets major in degree programs offered in the depart­ments that will be consolidated in the new school. Discussion group will consider gender issues in academics A new campus organization—one that's growing in number with each meeting—is exploring differ­ences in the ways men and women operate in academic Fields. Though it's called the Women in Science Study Group, the organization is open to both men and women from all fields, and is attracting both sexes from among students and faculty and staff members throughout the university. Thirty-seven people attended an October 7 meeting, the largest group so far. The study group meets twice monthly on campus for discussions on gender-related issues and publications and for presentations by visiting experts. Speakers contracted by the group include UNC-Chapel Hill's Dr. Connie Elbe, a linguist who studies gender-specific communication, and Dr. Ruth Turner, marine biologist and Harvard Univer­sity professor emeritus. Women, though typically straightforward and cooperative, must "learn" the competitive male subculture in order to participate in the sciences and other disciplines, according to Dr. Jackie Palmer, instructor of biology, who founded the study group with Dr. Anne Rogers, associate professor of anthropology and director of the University Honors Program. "Science was defined by men, and its rules for evaluation are designed for men.

A NEW PRESCRIPTION-DRUG CLAIM FORM has been di stributed by the Teachers' and State Employees' Comprehen­sive Major Medical Plan. Effective July 1, Form G206 should be used to file for reimbursement for all new purchases of prescription drugs. With the new form, you do not need to attach receipts or computer printouts, but both you and your pharmacist must sign the form. Claims for drugs purchased before the release of the new form may be filed with the old Form G216. Also, you should continue to use the old form for office visits, physical therapy, durable medical equipment, and other medical services. There is no change in your prescrip­tion- drug benefits or the way they are paid. For more information, call Peg Shafer in the Personnel Office at 227-7218. THE FACULTY AND STAFF BENEFITS COMMITTEE will mail a survey to faculty and staff members to determine the univer­sity community's interest in child-care issues. All faculty and staff members are asked to complete the survey, whether or not they have children of child-care age. The committee plans to survey students in the fall. The survey is for information only. The state of North Carolina is not considering subsidizing child care or operating child-care centers for the children of state employees. The WCU survey was developed in response to a resolution adopted by The University of North Carolina Faculty Assembly, stating that many of the sixteen campuses in the system have begun to address child-care issues, but are facing personnel, space, and financial constraints. The results of the WCU survey will be reported to the Faculty Affairs Committee of the Faculty Senate. /O WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY Monday 6 Seminar, 'Teacher Scholars."

May 3. 1991 The Reporter Reporter ™ K //NeMw J /sO #f/oNrr 'ffoK/eN rF^la/Mcu l lf+ty1 / and 0S4/t^a11f f of Western Carolina University May 31, 1991 Cullowhee, North Carolina Coulter details effects of reduced state budget Ihe proposed 1991-92 state appropriations bill could cut Western Carolina Univer­sity's annual state support of $37 million by nearly $1.8 million and eliminate 22.85 teaching and staff positions, Chancellor Myron L. Coulter told the Board of Trustees and the faculty on May 3. The effect at WCU of a reduced state budget was detailed first to the trustees and then at a general meeting of faculty members and trustees. Cuts in the current fiscal year combined with those proposed by the General Assembly for the fiscal year that starts July 1 reduce WCU's state assistance by $4.3 million and cut its work force by 41.6 positions, Coulter said. (In 1990, WCU had 1,029 full-time employees of whom 311 were instructional faculty.) Budget cuts through April 24 this year totaled $2.5 million, Coulter said, and caused a reduction in the total work force of 18.8 positions, of which eight were teaching positions. In fiscal 1991-92, WCU would reduce its total work force by another 22.85 positions, of which eight would be faculty, he said, if the proposed state budget is adopted. The cut in the 1991-92 operating funds would be either $1,573,431 in the House appropriations bill or $1,768,169 in the Senate bill. Coulter said the reductions in state appropria­tions will drive up tuition and fees at WCU. Western's current tuition-fee structure is now third lowest among the sixteen University of North Carolina campuses, according to Dr. C.J. Carter, vice chancellor for business affairs. Trustees approved a new $9 per semester fee to establish a library computer center for general student use. Carter said the center was required to meet student demand for greater access to computers, the cost of which could not be met from state-appropriated funds. Coulter said another fee impact would occur. Last year, the General Assembly imposed a temporary one-year special academic fee at all state institutions to help balance the 1990-91 budget. The proposed 1991-92 budget would make that fee permanent to raise, statewide, an estimated $6,530,000 annually. At WCU, that special annual fee is $41.50 for in-state students, $83 for out-of-state students. Coulter told trustees and faculty that measures proposed by Governor Jim Martin to balance the 1990-91 state budget will mean further cuts in the university's budget before June 30. Combining the 1990-91 cuts in faculty with those proposed in the 1991-92 budget, Coulter said WCU's schools would lose these numbers of positions: Arts and Sciences, six; Education and Psychology, three; Technology and Applied Science, two; Business, two; Nursing and Health Sciences, one. Two other positions, used for part-time teaching personnel, also would be lost. On the plus side of the proposed 1991-92 budget, Coulter said, are continued state support for operation of the Ramsey Center; smaller cuts than first proposed for Western North Carolina Tomorrow, a seventeen-county leadership council; and continuation of tuition waivers for academi­cally and athletically talented out-of-state students. - Doug Reed Ten faculty members awarded tenure Ten members of the faculty recently were approved for permanent tenure by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors.

Five winners from each region will compete in the fall for the writing award. State and regional winners will be eligible for scholarships at more than thirty colleges. Participants in the May 9 contest were addressed in Dodson Cafeteria by Rick Boyer, author and assistant professor of English, on "The Writer's Craft." Judges for the contest included four members of the English faculty: Dr. Jim Addison, associate profes­sor; Dr. Gayle Miller, assistant professor; Dr. Karl Nicholas, professor and depart­ment head; and Dr. Jim Nicholl, professor. "THE NEW M AJORITY: SHAPING THE FUTURE OF HIG HER EDUCATION " is the theme for a spring forum to be held on campus by the organization Women Administrators in North Carolina Higher Education. The program, set for Monday and Tuesday, June 3 and 4, targets women administrators and women who wish to become administrators. Clyda Rent, presi­dent of Mississippi University for Women, will speak to participants at a dinner June 3. Rent was vice-president and academic dean at Queens College before becoming president at Mississippi in 1989. She also taught sociology at WCU 1968-1970.

The largest meteor storm in 35 years is expected to take place on November 18 and you ¡can look forward to some spectacular views. “Asia and Australia should have the best views, but the view anywhere in North America will be very good,” says Rick Ponomar of the Lethbridge Astronomy Society. The Leonid storm, which some analysts expect to be the most intense in more than 30 years, is a product of the comet Tempel-Tuttle. The comet swings through the inner solar system every 33 years. Although a typical meteor shower means one pieteor every minute or so, the Leonid storm is expected to produce thousands an hour. Hundreds of those should be visible from here, says Ponomar. ? According to Ponomar, the best place to view the storm is “somewhere dark, away from light”. The storm, which will be visible just to the x tight of the Big Dipper, is expected to start in the late night of Nov. 18^, with optimal viewing times being between midnight and 5 a.m. Magrath Cultural Arts Society Annual General Meeting Wednesday, November 14 8:00 p.m. Magrath United Church Everyone Welcome!!

RUNNER-UP #8 Colorado Springs: A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but he refused and said “Because I don’t believe you are over 21.” r The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn’t believe him. At this point the robber took his drivers license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk The clerk looked it over, and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license.

Christmas Present "A woman who had lived in the same small community all her life had made a habit of faithfully hosting an annual Christmas party for her friends and family the week­end before Christmas. People attending the holiday event had always brought her small gifts which were usually in the form of knick-knacks for her house. One year, just after her 96th birthday, the spry old lady was asked by a friend what she would like for Christmas. "How about a kiss," she asked jokingly, "so I won't have to dust it!" 1 have quite a few sleeping bags, quilts, & pillows at my house that have been left here after scout activities and sleep-over parties. Please check to see if they are yours. I don't have room to store them and will have to take them to the Salvation Army soon.

We wonder if it’s really worth the effort and money to promote the holiday spirit when this sort of vandalism takes place. Please take a look around and see if there is a lonesome reindeer stashed where it doesn't belong along with a couple of strings of lights. Also in the same time period we have had some malicious damage done at the campground; toilet doors kicked in, kitchen walls hacked up with ah axe and young trees broken off or uprooted. We try to make this facility a pleasant place for residents and non­residents alike and senseless acts like this only increase the cost of maintaining it. Tax dollars are stretched to the limit now and unnecessary expenses like these can only lead to the termination of the services involved. We in the community need to be aware of what is going on around us and not be hesitant to report activities that are unusual or suspicious in nature. Someone knows who the perpetrators are add unless they are apprehended this sort of destruction will continue to the detriment of the whole community. o * Water Account Prepayment Plan Property owners can take advantage of a $20.00 discount from their 1992 water account during the month of January.

  • quantification of encapsulated bioburden in spacecraft polymer materials by cultivation dependent and molecular methods
    PLOS ONE, 2014
    Co-Authors: Anja Bauermeister, Alexander Mahnert, Niwin Flier, Christina Weber, Christine Moissleichinger, Alexander Boker, Alexander J. Probst, Anna K. Auerbach, Klaus Haberer
    Abstract:

    Bioburden encapsulated in spacecraft polymers (such as adhesives and coatings) poses a potential risk to jeopardize scientific exploration of other celestial bodies. This is particularly critical for spacecraft components intended for hard landing. So far, it remained unclear if polymers are indeed a source of microbial contamination. In addition, data with respect to survival of microbes during the embedding/polymerization process are sparse. In this study we developed testing strategies to quantitatively examine encapsulated bioburden in five different polymers used frequently and in large quantities on spaceflight hardware. As quantitative extraction of the bioburden from polymerized (solid) materials did not prove feasible, contaminants were extracted from uncured precursors. Cultivation-based analyses revealed <0.1–2.5 colony forming units (cfu) per cm3 polymer, whereas quantitative PCR-based detection of contaminants indicated considerably higher values, despite low DNA extraction efficiency. Results obtained from this approach reflect the most conservative proxy for encapsulated bioburden, as they give the maximum bioburden of the polymers irrespective of any additional physical and chemical stress occurring during polymerization. To address the latter issue, we deployed an embedding model to elucidate and monitor the physiological status of embedded Bacillus safensis spores in a cured polymer. Staining approaches using AlexaFluor succinimidyl ester 488 (AF488), propidium monoazide (PMA), CTC (5-cyano-2,3-diotolyl tetrazolium chloride) demonstrated that embedded spores retained integrity, germination and cultivation ability even after polymerization of the adhesive Scotch-Weld 2216 B/A. Using the methods presented here, we were able to estimate the worst case contribution of encapsulated bioburden in different polymers to the bioburden of spacecraft. We demonstrated that spores were not affected by polymerization processes. Besides Planetary Protection considerations, our results could prove useful for the manufacturing of food packaging, pharmacy industry and implant technology.
