Student Nurses Association active on campus by Brandy Faught staff writer Freshmen and sophomore students pursuing a nursing career have the chance to join the Stu dent Nurses Association and be of service in the community. Members of the Student Nurses Association attend state and national conferences highlighting job possibilities. In the past, the SNA at Gardner- Webb has attended the state conference at Fayetteville. The nursing association also helps student nurses focus on community sCTvice. “Nursing is not a 9 to 5 job,” said Gardner- Webb Student Nursing President Diane Murphy. “Youll be a nurse all the time. Nursing is being there for people in need while helping the com munity.” The local service opportunity of the SNA at GWU has been the Kids' Place in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. Members of the association at GWU are collecting toys and other items that can • help make Christmas memorable for needy chil- drea Another focus is Shelby's Women's Center for Abused Women and Children. The association uses fundraisers to fund their projects and community concerns. In the past the students have sold smdent nursing t-shirts, hypo dermic needle pens at football games, sweatshirts and calendars. One goal for the association this year is to attend at least part of the National Con vention in Charlotte.

Part of the university family since 1985, Selph is the coordinator for the sign language interpreting program. With the rais ing of a single index finger, Selph indicates that she is the only instructor for the entire program. As for other work, Selph says, “I speak to various clubs and groups, and this summw I did a workshop on interpreting English idioms.” In ad dition, she coordinates the oflf-campus activities of the uppCT-level class, has taught basic sign lan guage classes at a local bank, and does free-lance interpreting in the summCT. The sign language interpreting program is a tation.” Interpreters can use their skills in a vari ety of settings, including business, conventions, court and congressional hearings. National certi fication as an intopreter usually requires five years of experience after graduation from a program. Throughout Nwth Carofina, several schools besides Gardner-Webb offer a general two-year sign language intCTpreting degree. However, ac cording to Selph, only one school in North Caro lina has a four-year sign language interpreting pro gram, and it is in the specialty of field education. Selph says, “TTiere is a great demand for sign language interpretCTS. I would like to see a four - year ASL (American Sign Language) program here.” If Gardner-Webb did start a four-year ASL program, it would be the only school in the state with one. “The curriculum has been submitted to the administration, ” Selph explains, “It would be two-year program with fifteen majors and various minors Seljrfi says, “The program prepares stu- nice to see it running by next fall.” New and Improved Nutty Stuff (with Nutra Sweet) Top 10 signs it is getting # 10 - Road kill on highway 150 doesn't decompose quite as fast. # 9 - The sticky stuff on the salad bar glazes over. # 8 - Homecomir\g festivities on 3rd floor Mauney (or is it Mooney?) form into frozen goo chunks. # 7 - G-W begins another undefeated season of Ice Hockey. # 6 - You get all the ftnancial aid you ask for.
