  • Western Carolinian March 24, 1994 Features Everybody Jennifer Martin Staff Reporter The general tuition for a full time, in-state undergraduate student here at Western Carolina University is $752.50 according to the 1993-94 student catalog. That price is tuition alone, not including the dorm fee of $640.00 or the meal ticket price which ranges from $561.00 to $587.00. Where does that $752.00 go? According to the Distribution of Fees sheet found in the student catalog, $370.00 of the total tuition is used for "tuition," and the remaining $38250 is divided among various departments as explained to the right. The tuition for Fall Semester may be a slight increase if the Board of Governors of the University System approves the hike. If approved, the cost of health services would increase $7.00, and the Recreation and Culture would increase by $2.00. Other increases would be in the University Center fee in the amount of $1.50, and the Education and Technology fee would increase by $.50. The overall proposed increase of $11.00 would receive little attention when added to the total tuition fees. The graduate student's tuition is $55.00 less because they haveno bookrental fee. The rest of their fees are equal to that of the undergrad. Western Carolina university has no control over how much the tuition will be, says Chuck Wooten. All prices are set by the state. Students have the opportunity to voice their opinions concerning tuition prices before the Board of Trustees. Anyone with questions or comments can contact Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs, Dr. C.J. Carter, Dr. Glen Stillian or Bill Scott, president of SGA. Where does our "remaining" money go?

Colleen Vasconcellos Staff Reporter Luke Perry stars in "8 Seconds," the true story of a professional bull rider, Lane Frost. The movie opens with a young Frost desperately trying to get his start on the rodeo circuit. While competing throughout the Western circuit, Frost meets a young woman who is a barrel racer. The two get to know each other, fall in love and get married. Frost's career picks up. He soon becomes the number one bull rider in the country. Unfortunately, the fame and fortune go straight to his head. Frost begins spending less timeathome and more timeon the road. He frequents bars and hotels with young, promiscuous rodeo groupies. Meanwhile, his wife begins to feel left out, and the loneliness grows. An ex-boyfriend sees her predicament and moves in for the kill. He takes consoling her one step too far and takes advantage of her vulnerability. One of the few times Frost does come home, she tells him what she has done. He then throws her out for doing what he has been doing for months. Frost soon realizes he cannot live without her, and the two patch up their relationship. Everything is rosy for a while but not long enough. Frost is again in the race for the world title. Having won it the previous year, he is favored to win it now. The good life soon ends. Frost's arm gets caught in the saddle, and he is unable to break free. He finally wrenches himself free and tries to run out of the way, but he is not quick enough. His wife, parents and friends watch in shock as he is brutally killed by the bull. "8 seconds" is a wonderful movie full of action and adventure. Perry does a wonderful job portraying this famous personality, bringing a more personal side to the rodeo. I give "8 seconds" three stars. With never a dull moment, "8 Seconds" brings the adventure of the rodeo right to die viewers' laps, leaving them wide-eyed and captivated.
