WRITING CENTER
ENCOURAGES STUDENTS
By Susan Loudcrmilk
Director of Writing Center
I want to welcome every-
body back for the spring semes-
ter and invite you to the Writing
Center. In addition to the En-
glish faculty who help me staff
the Center, several other teach-
ers from other areas have volun-
teered to spend some of their
office hours in the Center to help
students.
I want to emphasize to stu-
dents that the Center is a place
where you can get help on any
writing assignment you have, not
just English papers. We can help
you with writing reports, sum-
maries, essay answers, etc. Slop
by the Center and check the
schedule as to who will be work-
ing in the Center and when.
Also, I want students to be
aware that you can come for
help in the Writing Center even
if you are not going to use the
computers. We have programs
on the computers that you are
welcome to utilize; however,
where you type or write your
paper is not relevant to getting
help at the Center. The Com-
puter Labs located in the base-
ment of the Library and the sec-
ond floor of the Business build-
ing have many computers avail-
able for student use. When you
come to the Writing Center, you
can bring work you have done,
whether written on computers,
typewriters, or by hand.
However, when you do
come to the Center for help,
come with specific questions
about your writing. We do not
proofread entire papers since we
don’t have the time and that re-
ally doesn't leach you anything
about your writing. So when
you come in, feel free to ask the
consultants working at the Cen-
ter about specific questions you
have about your writing. We
can help you with all aspects of
your writing generating ideas,
developing and organizing; im-
proving grammar; revising and
correcting; improving style; un-
derstanding errors; overcoming
anxiety, and understanding the
thinking process involved in
writing.
In the focusing on writing as
an active process, the Center is a
place where you can come and
ask questions and collaborate
with another writer in order to
improve your written communi-
cation skills. Please remember
also, that we will not judge re-
garding the grading of a paper,
and we cannot guarantee a
“quick-fix” for papers or writing
problems. Writing is an on-go-
ing process, so we hope you will
visit the Center many times dur-
ing the semester.

museums and cathedrals. ‘The
cathedrals were beautiful. Each
had five domes, the middle one
representing God and the others
representing the disciples," said
Chris Masingill. He also described
the Russian people as having “a
great dedication to the faith.”
The group enjoyed shopping
at the Ismailovo Fair, "an out-
door souvenir fair where mer-
chants practiced free market
trade,” according to Bryan
Townsend. “People could buy
various items here, including the
matruska dolls and rabbit fur
hats."
The Wesleyan singers also
attended a Russian opera in
Moscow, experienced tradi-
tional Russian cuisine at their
places of residence (The Institute
of Youth in Moscow and the
Hotel Volga in Samara), visited
a Pizza Hut and McDonalds in
Moscow, and most importantly
learned to appreciate the Rus-
sian culture through their
friendships with their Russian
hosts.
Overall, the Russia tour
proved to be an incredible cul-
tural experience for the
Wesleyan Singers, Trouveres,
arid faculty members who made
the trip. “I found the Russian
people to be some of the most
sincere people I’ve ever met,"
said Nicole Belford, “they were
very friendly and warm.” Ac-
cording to Brecca Croskey, the
Russian hosts also became their
good friends, “1 found that in
some ways we were very much
alike.” “They were eager to hear
us sing and to exchange gifts
with us," remarked Rebeca
Galaviz, “saying that we had
opened their hearts and imagi-
nations with our music; they
made us feel very welcome.”
On January 17,1994, the group
returned to the United States with
many wonderful memories of
their trip and a brand new per-
ception of the Russian people.
