NORTHCAROLINA VOCATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK 1992 BY THE GOVERNOR OFTHE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA A PROCLAMATION Ed,ucation in general and vocational education in particular are the foundations of our economic prosperity and a means by which we can increase productivity, raise our standard of living and lift our poor out of poverty. Furthermore, this era of highly sophisticated technology requires superior preparation of our emerging workforce --our students. The workplace will need graduates who are already skilled, not only after completing postsecondary study, but at the completion of high school. For these reasons, I have established the Council on Vocational and Applied Technology Education to assist me in increasing awareness of these needs and motivating educators to creatively develop ways of meeting these needs. The Council is requesting that all North Carolinians engage in activities that will increase awareness of ways to improve vocational education as the major element in enhancing the workforce of the future. NOW, THEREF~REI, JAMES G. MARTIN, Governor of the State of North Carolina, do hereby proclaim February 9 through February 15, 1992, as 'Vocational Education Week in North Carolina," and commend this observance to our citizens. The theme for this week of emphasis is "Classroom of the Future. JAMES G. MARTIN

DRA 103, Voice and Diction, will present "A Voice of My Own," by Elinor Jones, on Thursday, July 2, at 11:OO a.m. in Moore Auditorium. This 'collage of voices" traces the emergence and growing influence of women in literature. Conveying a broad spectrum from Sappho to writers of the present day, the play points out not only the triumphs of women in literature but also the discouragement derision, and disbelief to which they were too often subjected. Spanning 26 centuries, the play evokes the words and feelings of women who were frequently obli ed to hide behind anonymity or male names in order to practice t3, eir art, and from whom fantastic strength of character and indomitability were required. That they succeeded so brilliantly in their efforts is not only a tribute to these talented women in particular but, in a more general sense, to the irrepressible spirit of the entire "other half" of humanity, whose voice would not be denied. For more information, call Dr. Cheryl Oxford, 438-6093.

Hear "The Legend of the Bell Witch.. . if you dare! DRAMA 105, ~ea.ders heatr re, will present "The Legend of the Bell Witch" on Friday, July 31, at 11:OO a.m. in the Phifer Studio. Admission is free and the College community is invited to attend. The Bell Witch is the only ghostly phenomena in this country to be memorialized with a historic marker. This pre-Civil War legend has its roots in North Carolina. According to the Journal of American Folklore, John Bell, a well-to-do North Carolina farmer, killed a cruel overseer in a dispute, then moved his large family to Tennessee. It was there that unexplainable things began happening in the Bell household. Bell's daughter, in particular, was tormented by the Witch's malevolence. Even ex-President Andy Jackson experienced the sinister presence of the Bell Witch. The cast for "The Legend of the Bell Witch" includes Beth Buckner (Storyteller), Michael Rogers (John Bell), Cheryl Oxford (Lucy Bell), Cindy Patton (Mary Bell), Don Abernathy (Andy JacksonlJosh Gardner), Annette Moore (Patsy), and Rik Covalinski (Witch).

WPCC is an Equal Opportunity Institution During the month of August the Burke Arts Council and the Jailhouse Gallery present Tom Raab in the Ken Volz Gallery. Mr. Raab is currently residing In Morganton and is a Photography Instructor at Western Piedmont Community College. Raab received his MFA in Photography in 1975 .from Cran brook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills,4 Michigan. Raab's experience includes: Adjunct Professor of Art, Lenoir-Rhyne College; Adjunct Instructor, Western Piedmont Community College; Photography Instructor, University of Tennessee; Free Lance Photographer in Knoxville, Tennessee; Adjunct FacultyIPhotography, Walters State Community College; Assistant Professor of ArtIPhotography, Georgia Southern College; Graduate Teaching Assistant, Cranbrook Academy of Art. The artist has work exhibited in the permanent collection of The Library of Congress. He has exhibited in various museums and has had several one man shows. Raab has also competed in invitational/competitive exhibitions. In addition, he served as a Judge in the 13th Annual Blue Ridge Overview in Wilkesboro in 1991. The Artist said, "My work deals with certain perceptual aspects of the recorded image. Questions of form, line and spatial relationship become important to the sensibility of the image--how it appears, not what it depicts. The photograph of a building or a landscape becomes something completely different and apart from the reality of that building or landscape." The Jailhouse Gallery invites you to come and view the show Auqust 3 - 27. The Burke Arts Council is open Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m - 4:00 p.m.

WPCC is an Equal Oppomnity Institution Linda plays for the Pearls, a women's amateur softball team which will represent Morganton and the Western Regional Class "C" Tournament August 7-9.

"He that troubleth his own house.. .I1 In case anyone is wondering about the title of the WPCC Performing Arts Program's next play, Inherit the Wind, it comes from Proverbs: "He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind,." The title is not only appropriate in its meaning, but in its source, since one of the main characters of the play is patterned after one of the nation's greatest Bible-quoters, William Jennings Bryan. Inherit the Wind shows Bryan as he appeared in the famous Scopes trial in Tennessee in 1925.

DRAMADEPT. SEEKS 12 Men and a Monkey

WPCC Performing Arts Program is soliciting twelve intellectual-looking men (sorry for the sexism, but this is history) to play three cameo roles in the November production of Inherit the Wind. During each of four performances, three scientists are called by defense lawyer Clarence Darrow to explain Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, but their testimony is disallowed by the judge. These roles are non-speaking parts, and no rehearsal will be required. Appropriate costume pieces will be provided.

The role of the monkey, however, will require more talent and training.

All volunteers will be given star treatment. The monkey will be paid

To volunteer for this courtroom classic, contact Dr. Cheryl Oxford, Coordinator of Performing Arts, at 6093. August 24,1992

WPCC is an Equal Opportunity Institution Inherit the Wind will forever be a classic in the American theatre. It makes you reflect on the world we live in.

The play is centered around the question of censorship. Anyway you look at it, censorship is 3 wrong. The freedom to think and to verbalize your thoughts should always be protected, no matter what. If the government takes away this right, then we have nothing. People believe radical thinking is all bad. 'That is not true. In fact, if society tries to stop thinking, then they may do more harm to themselves than the radical thinker does.

As much as I hate to say it, there are towns like Hillsboro throughout the United States, and the people are just as backward, just as closed-minded, as the townspeople in the play. If this train of thought ever reached a nation-wide level, we would slowly revert back to medieval days, when people were stoned to death because they didn't think like society. ---Chad Deal Criminal Justice (1 992)

WPCC TO HOSTPERFORMANCE BY 'TRANSACTORS IMPROV COMPANY Western Piedmont Community College's Dean of Development, Grady Pitts, has announced that the College will host a performance by Transactors lmprov Company on Thursda September: 10, 1992 at 7:15 p.m., in Moore Auditorium-7ik performance is free and open to the public. Transactors lmprov is one of the few groups in the country performing pure improvisation. The Company creates comedic theatre on-the-spot, from audience suggestions. Here's what Spoleto critic and New York Times feature writer Robert Jones had to say about a June 3 performance by Transactors Improv: "All of them, including the piano player, improvise comedy routines on subjects tossed out by the audience. ...There were moments in which the troupe dredged up pay dirt. Suddenly there was a Czechoslovak horror film being performed, complete with idiotic translation. There was a lunatic Iraqi avant-garde dance troupe performing a ballet about tooth flossing. And there was an inspired skit having to do with a psychiatrist who was (were?) really Siamese twins--it made me laugh until I wept. So go catch Transactors lmprov Company. Take Kleenex."

Based in Chapel Hill, Transactors lmprov Company is comprised of five people: three men, one woman and a piano player. They've been heard on National Public Radio, and currently reach over 50,000 southeastern listeners three times each week on WPTF-AM. The Company has opened for stars like Dionne Warwick and Leon Redbone, and have appeared in clubs, theaters, and universities throughout the Southeast.

This performance by Transactors lmprov Company will be the first in a series of music and theatre presentations at WPCC by performers from the North Carolina Arts CouncillsTouring Program. Throughout the 1992-1993 academic year, Burke County audiences will have the opportunity to hear vocal performances by such diverse groups as Waxwings, a soprano duo specializing in opera, art song and musical theater, and The Badgett Sisters, singing traditional songs and spirituals a cappella. Celtic musician Flora MacDonald Gammon is also scheduled for a performance.

Two of the many themes addressed in Inherit the Wind include the issues of conformity and of good versus evil. I believe that in lnherit the Wind these themes are intertwined. Is it good or evil to conform to society? If everyone conformed, there would be no new ideas, no new technology. However, in this play nonconformity is portrayed as evil. Bertram Cates, a high school biology teacher, has gone a ainst his society's rules and has taught the theory of evolution in his classroom. His fiancee, RacR el Brown, the daughter of the town's minister, asks some of the same questions to herself that Cates confronts in his classroom. However, she cannot bear the shame and hatred of the town; therefore, she conforms to the ancient values of her society. She is not strong enough to be true to her beliefs.

I believe that it is evil not to question, not to think. Only if we question will we find new answers. What if ~oIumTusnever questioned? What if Pasteur was never curious? All of our modern science and technology is the result of thinkers who refused to conform to the accepted beliefs of those before them. Were they evil because, like Bertram Cates, they wished to think for themselves, to question the natural world, the origin of man, and many other mysteries?

JAMESC. MARTIN GOVERNOR NORTH CAROLINA LITERACY MONTH

BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA A PROCLAMATION

The non-reader in today's society faces overwhelming challenges that result in stress, monetary loss, and a lower quality of life. Almost 40 percent of those age 16 and older in North Carolina need some form of literacy education. For these individuals, simple daily activities become difficult or impossible. Fortunately, this condition can easily be remedied. The North Carolina Press Association and the United States Postal Service, in cooperation with the Governor's Office and the N. C. Council on Literacy, are sponsoring a special observance to increase public awareness about the importance of literacy in our state. Throughout the month of September, daily and weekly newspapers, television stations and radio stations statewide will be offered the opportunity to join in publishing articles and running stories that outline the economic and societal importance of literacy and encourage readers to become involved in sharing the gift of'reading with others. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JAMES G. MARTIN, Governor of the State of North Carolina, do hereby proclaim September, 1992; as "North Carolina Literacy Month," and urge our citizens to learn more about the importance of literacy and how they can become part of the solution. '.

If your goal is weight setting short-range "working" goals-small steps that loss, you'll approach fitness somewhat differently than if will help you reach your long-range wish. "Working" your goal is building strength and endurance. And, once goals say what, how much, when, and how often you will you know why you want to become more fit, you can do an activity to help you move toward your iinal goal. more easily determine what you can do to reach that goal. For instance, a working goal might be to attend a one-hour exercise class after work on Monday, Wednes- day, and Friday. Each time you attend a class, you've met one working goal. If your ultimate goal is to increase the Set Long-Range Goals weight you can bench-press, your working goals will Be specific.

(Remember, for optimum results, you should exercise vigorously 3-5 times a week.) When you've accomplished each goal, take a minute to write a comment or two on how you felt afterward. Did you feel a sense of accomplishment? Have you noticed that you're exercising with greater ease than when you first started? Did eating lunch before your workout affect your performance? Keep notes about your progress and use this information to analyze any problems you may be having as well as to award your achievement.

Literacy problems are inter and closely associated with poverty and pose a major threat to - the economic well- United States. All public and private literacy programs serve only about 19% of help. A survey by the U.S. Department of Education and the Census Bureau estimated that 14 percent of working age North Carolinians lack the verbal and mathematical skills to function effectively.on the job.

More than 50 percent of the companies responding to a recent survey by the National Council for Public Policy identified deficiencies in writing, mathematics, speaking and listening skills among a substantial number of their employees. Seventy percent- of companies said communication deficiencies inhibit promotion of entry-level high school graduates, leading to employee frustration, low productivity, high turnover and the loss of income and profit. Illiteracy is estimated to cost American businesses $25 billion annually in lost productivity. There were 19,417 dropouts from grades 7-12 in North Carolina in school year 1990-91. An annual statewide dropout rate of 3.91 percent. 17,856 of the dropouts were in grades 9-12, a 5.57% dropout rate for those grades. There are 3.5 million adults being served annually in the literacy programs in the United States. ^'orthCarolina literacy programs are reaching 7.3% of the state's target population. In 1990-91, Core than 120,000 adults enrolled in the literacy programs in the state. Approximately 6,000 people served as instructors, counselors, administrators, volunteers, and paraprofessionals in North Carolina's programs last year. The retention rate in North Carolina's literacy programs for 1990-91 was 77%. About 15% completed a level of instruction and 62% progressed in the same level of instruction. About 23% separated the program before completing their goals. The community colleges provide literacy services at over 2,500 off-campus sites throughout the state. They have partnerships with 430 business to provide workplace literacy programs at the worksite; with 36 elementary schools and or Head Start programs to provide family literacy programs; and with homeless shelters-in 14 communities to provide basic skills instruction to homeless adults. During the past decade, 167,893 adults in North Carolina have earned their high school diploma through the community colleges. 16,606 diplomas were awarded during 1990-91. For 1992-93 the N.C. General Assembly appropriated $19.5 million for literacy programs. The state received $7.4 million in federal funds for such programs. Fifty-eight community colleges and thirteen commu nity-based organizations are funded to provide literacy services to every community in the state. 99 percent of the 24,000 inmates admitted into the North Carolina corrections system in 1990 claimed to have more than a third-grade level education. 38 percent claim they have a high school education or above; 5 percent have actually achieved that level of education. 95 percent -f inmates test below high school levels; 69 percent below eighth-grade levels; and 11 percent Cdowa third-grade level. The average prison population in 1990 was 18,617.

WPCC is an Equal Opportunity Institution GE~INGINVOLVED t 4 by DOlTIE 81BOB YOUNG

AS a retired couple, my wife and I became interested in the literacy program when the driver of a load of topsoil that we had ordered couldn't find our address. He telephoned us several times to 3 ask for landmarks for the various street intersections rather than using street names. We finally realized that he couldn't read. Our interest became action when we enrolled in the Laubach Literacy Course and attended four three-hour classes of instruction in teaching that was quite specific and not at all threatening to non-teachers. It was explained that the one-on-one relationship between student and tutor is an excellent way to teach anything because of the concentrated attention of both parties and the freedom to ask questions at any time. When we finished the course and were assigned to students, we were fortunate in being able to go together to a facility where we each had a student to teach from the hours of 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday at their place of employment. The employer of their facility allowed any of their employees to attend these classes to upgrade themselves and to become more productive individuals. Lessons preparation is not difficult because the lesson books are very specific and easily understood. Preparation time varies from one-half hour to one hour depending on how many flash cards or other items are needed. Our relationships with our students have developed into a friendly personal attachment to each other, and we feel very gratified when they make significant improvements and realize it. Our weekly teaching sessions have become an interesting and important part of our lives now, and we look forward to reading sessions with our students. As with any teachin procedure, we believe that we as teachers are also learning as well as our students, and that ad %s to our feeling of satisfaction in choosing this way of usin some of our unscheduled time. We highly recommend to everyone that joining the quest Por a literate America is a most worthwhile use of time. 3 Dottie and Bob Young live in Cary, North Carolina.

Thank you! During the first week of our five week United Way Campaign, Western Piedmont employees gave $978. That's very close to the weekly total of donations we'll need to meet our $5,100 goal. Keep up the good work. We all know that when we give to the United Way, we help people. Each week during WPCC's United Way Campaign, we're goin to publish a "success story" about someone who s been helpeB by United Way. Blue Ridge Community Action: Consumer Credit Counseling Services Sleepless nights and worry over paying the bills had become common for John and Mary Smith. Paying the monthly bills was frustrating. Their combined pay checks were uickl spent, yet there were still bills left to be paid. Stress over t77 eir !inancial situation increased when John began receiving calls at work from his creditors. He couldn't concentrate on his job because of fearing the next call from another creditor. John's employer became aware of the problem and referred him to Consumer Credit Counseling Services. After a complete evaluation of the Smith's financial situation, their counselor determined that they could repay their debts through the Debt Management Program. All their creditors were contacted and agreed to accept the counselors repayment plan. Now the Smith's make a monthly payment to Consumer Credit Counseling Service and the agency makes monthly payments to their creditors. In addition, the Smith's are learning better money management skills through financial counseling sessions. Consumer Credit Counseling Service has provided a "win-win" situation for everyone. Creditors are being paid on time every month. The employer has re ained John's full attention on his job. John goes to work without 9ear of those dreaded telephone calls from creditors. John and Mary's worries have been replaced with positive action and.hope for financial stability.

Set an they're getting fit. example by making fitness a priority in your life. Ageless Activity It isn't easy to hdan activity that appeals to youths, adults, and seniors alike, but it is possible. Walking, for instance, in addition to being an excellent aerobic activity, can be done by practically anyone regardless of age or fitness level. Even a baby in a carriage can learn to appreciate the joys of being in motion. Family walks help keep you fit while providing time for conversation and relaxa- tion with those you love most.

Make Fitness Fun One reason people fail to exercise regularly is boredom. Children are very prone to boredom, so if you've chosen walking as a regular family activity, turn your family walk into an adventure. Try a "treasure hunt." List 5-10 items for each child to look for on their walk-a leaf, a twig, a bottle cap, etc.-and provide a paper bag to hold the loot. At the end of the walk, the child with the most items selects a "theme" for your next adventure walk-a recy- cling race, perhaps (who can collect the most discarded soda cans?) or a road rally-(how many types of vehicles did you see?) and so on.

Make Fitness A Family Legacy Just like a cherished photo, a valued heirloom, or a family tradition, a love for fitness can be the treasure that you pass from one generation to the next. The gift of physical health and vitality is a priceless one-one that you and your entire family will value for life. 81989 PARLAY INTERNATWAL

He is one of the original organizers responsible for implementing the Alpha Gamma Mu Chapter of PTK here at Western Piedmont Community College.

Many of us feel that because of you it may be easier to face the challenges of a fast-paced world.

1 had seldom felt comfortable speaking to large groups. Since this was not appropriate behavior for a pre-teaching major, I decided to take Acting I to correct it. Thus began a great experience that will be remembered with enthusiasm.

I had the privilege to work with an exceptional group of people in the production of Inherit the Wind. At first we were unsure of our lines and positions. Secondly, many in the cast, including myself, had never taken acting lessons or even participate in a play. Last of all, there was a change in cast concerning the major characters. But with all these hindrances, Dr. Cheryl Oxford and Beth Buckner brought us through our initial troubles. They discussed areas that needed improvement and taught us to be more confident when delivering our lines. Regardless of the number of times we rehearsed, they were not satisfied. Dr. Oxford and Beth Buckner gave us an intensity that I would not have thought possible. The success of lnherit the Wind is due to their hard work and efforts to bring out the best in each of us. Credit should also be given to the people behind the scenes. The administration of Western Piedmont, students in the Performing Arts program, and the people who attended lnherit the Wind should be rateful that instructors such as Dr. Oxford and Beth Buckner believe in what they do and expect tf e best of their students. This play has given me the opportunity to meet new people. It has also given me more confidence when facing large groups. This experience and the people involved will always be cherished......

Instructor Ann Giles received first place for her paper entitled: "Characteristics of 1990 Graduates of Vocational & Technical Medical Assisting Programs in the North Carolina Community College System." Giles presented the paper as part of the Behavioral Science Division of the Graduate Research Symposium at Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC, in November. HRD GRADUATEPLAYS LEADING ROLE Durin my twenty-nine years on this planet, I have had many memorable experiences. None of them fowever (except for the birth of my first child) has had a more powerful impact on my life Canplaying Matthew Harrison Brady in WPCCnsproduction of Inherit the Wind. Despite the fact that over the past year I had acted in smaller productions and played "smaller" characters, in addition to my five years as a radio announcer, I must admit I was more than a little anxious over bein cast in such a powerful, prestigious role. Even though my major is drama, my own introversion il ept trying to convince me this was too big a task to handle; ask Cheryl for a smaller role. Finally, having over-ridden my until now reliable senses, I decided that, if done properly, this experience could be a springboard for my future. Mental anxiety was still strong in the early stages of rehearsal. Gradually, with the help and support of virtually eve one In the cast and crew, I began to see myself as Matthew Harrison Brady. I must say, it was-5- rat er tough going for awhile, for everyone concerned. But the level of progress continued apace with each rehearsal. And despite certain instances of "artistic differences," the production was blessed with few hindrances. 'This element of working together and encouraging rather than denigrating others, is what made this production a theatrical and educational success.

I would like to thank Scotty Woodard, for being such a fine "fencing partner" on short notice, and Cheryl Oxford, for seeing something in me I never saw in myself and for helpin me believe I could be Matthew Harrison Brady. I truly enjoyed working with every member o9 the cast and crew and look forward to doing so again. AFA-PeMike orming Arts
