#8220;Awwww! Some of it got into my mouth!” says Beverly D’Onofrio (played by Drew Barrymore), as her son urinates up in the air while she’s changing his diaper in the new movie “Riding in Cars With Boys.” This is a perfect scene from the film to illustrate the film’s theme […]

WCU Seeking to Boost Cultural Tourism in WNC
Western Carolina University is taking significant new steps to boost the Western North Carolina travel and tourism industry by becoming an additional destination for visitors in search of cultural arts and heritage-based activities.

Art display

Bardo’s plans for “enhanced Curriculum”
I do applaud Bardo for wanting to enhance our education here at Western Carolina, but I believe he has his priorities out of order. He wants to have more full time professors to help offer a “wide variety of classes within classes.” He should try to keep the majors and […]
Western Carolina’s Aramark Service
TO Whom It May Concern: I have to say that I am pretty pissed off regarding our food service here at WCU. Lets face it, the variety of food, and the service we get sucks to say the least. I mean sure we got the UC, Dodson, Brown, Cyber, and […]
