  • 2 Thursday, January 301997 News Stye Hcatcrn €awltman UC. SGA Face Forced Move EMILY BEITEL STAFF WRITER Slated renovations to the Camp Lab building will cause SGA and University Center offices to move, again. Bonita Jacobs, interim vice chancellor of student development, said that a six- week gap is expected between the closing of the Camp Lab facility and the reopening of the A.K. Hinds University Center. Offices in the former public school will have to find new, temporary homes. At the moment, the renovation plans for Camp Lab are on hold pending an agreement between the university and construction contractors. A start date for the renovation has not been announced, but the project is expected to take 18 months once it begins. Plans have not yet been finalized, but SGA is currently set to move into empty space in the Old Student Union alongside the Western Carolinian for the six-week transition. Offices of the University Center will move into space below University Health Services in Graham Infirmary formerly occupied by the Parks and Recreation Department. Veterans Benefits CONTINUED FROM PG1 proved training, take your application to Richard Cameron in the Office of Student Development for enrollment certification. Okay, let's say you qualify. How much money are we talking about here? Under this program, a full-time college student will make $404 a month. A student going three-quarter time will get $304, and a half-time student will get $202. How long will the eligibility last? If you are only drawing benefits from this VA program, you can receive up to 45 months of benefits. If you qualify for more than one VA program, you can receive up to 48 months worth. How long are you eligible once you qualify? If you are the child of a veteran in any of the above categories, you can receive benefits between the ages of 18 and 26. Marriage will not keep you from getting benefits. If you qualify for benefits and you have been on active duty in the Armed Forces, the age limit may be extended after you have an honorable discharge. However, it cannot go beyond your 31st birthday. If you are the spouse in this category, benefits end 10 years from the date the VA finds you eligible or from the date of death of the veteran. Okay, you qualify. What kind of training may you take? •You may seek an approved degree at a college or university. Included are associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees. •You may take courses leading to a certificate or di ploma from business, technical, or vocational school. • You may work and train in an apprenticeship or job training program offered by a company or union. •If you are a spouse, you may take a correspondence course. •If you would like to study abroad, educational benefits are payable only for programs leading to a college degree. Can you also be eligible for work-study at the same time? You may be eligible for an additional allowance under a work-study program. It allows you to perform work for VA in return for an hourly wage. Activities under this program include outreach services under the supervision of a VA employee, preparation and pro" cessing of VA paperwork, and working at a VA medical facility. [To find out if you also qualify for other federal financial aid and work-study, contact the Office of Financial Aid at 7290.] Are there any programs that the Dependents Education Assistance Program will not pay for? Benefits are not payable for the following courses: •Bartending or personality development courses. •Any course given by radio. •Any courses taken solely by open-circuit television. •Vocational flight training. •Self-improvement courses such as reading, speaking, woodworking, basic seamanship, and English as a second language. •Any course which is vo cational or recreational in character. •Audited courses. •Courses not leading to an educational, professional or vocational objective. •Courses you have taken before and successfully completed. •Courses taken by a federal government employee and paid for under the Government Employees' Training Act. •Courses taken while in receipt of benefits for the same program from the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs. Further, the VA must reduce benefits if you are in a federal, state or local prison after being convicted of a felony. Once you start receiving benefits, you must maintain satisfactory attendance, conduct, and progress. If you do not meet the standards set by your school, the certifying official must notify VA. At that point VA will stop benefits if the school reports unsatisfactory attendance, conduct, or progress. If you think you are entitled to benefits under this program, contact the the local Veteran's Service Office at the courthouse in Sylva or Richard Cameron in the Office of Student Development at 7234.

Public Safety Highlights 1/21/97 Officers arrested a student for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstruct and delay, after they tried to talk to him about skateboarding on campus. Officers responded to a fire alarm at Scott, which is believed to have been caused by burnt popcorn. 1/22/97 Officers cited a student for underage possession of liquor at 1:41 a.m. near Scott Hall. A student reported that she had given $200 to a friend to purchase drugs and the friend had been robbed at gunpoint by the dealer near the Comfort Inn.

Officers responded to a noise complaint in Reynolds at 11:58 p.m. on 1/25. Loud music and underage drinking were found on the second floor. Referred to Housing. Officers took a report of a motor vehicle accident at Reynolds Dorm where a vehicle had rolled down an embank ment and wall, stopping at Buchanan Hall, damaging grounds, wall, stairs, and handrails in the area at 7:04 p.m. on 1/26. 1/27/97 A member of the faculty reported that she had received an obscene e-mail message. The investigation is continuing. Officers assisted in a voluntary property exchange between a male non-student and a female student who had been involved in domestic dispute. The male was banned from campus. The female had property which belonged to him. Officers investigated the report of an odor of marijuana in Walker and found no odor of marijuana and no controlled substances in the room at 10:05 p.m. Locklear Pleads Guilty STAFF Paul N. Locklear, former SGA president, pled guilty on January 11 to illegally accessing a I computer. * He was fined $100, placed on supervised probation for one year and sentenced to 24 hours of community service. In addition to those penalties, Locklear will be banned from campus for one year. In exchange for his plea bargain, charges of theft of a master key and breaking and entering were dropped. Fcg lncrc3S6 ™™™™*™ spaces needed to accommodate them. Beginning next year, with notification of acceptance, new students will be asked to remit an advance payment of $100 to reserve their places in the entering class. This payment will be applicable to charges for the first semester of enrollment. If a student's plan to enroll changes, the advance payment is refundable upon request until June 1. Students enrolling for the first time will be required to remit the advance payment before pre-registering for the semester of entry. According to Carter, "It's not a matter of paying more, just when you pay." Any forfeited advance payments will be used to fund scholarships. Continuing students, who generally pre-register each semester for the ensuing semester, will be required to remit full payment of tuition and fees by Aug. 1. Also effective for the 1998 fall semester, the university will require a $100 advance partial payment of housing charges for all students requesting campus housing. Upon acceptance, new students will be advised to remit the advance payment in order to secure a space in university residence halls. Advance payments will be credited against charges for the first semester of enrollment and will be refundable upon request until June 1 of each year. Returning students will be required to remit an advance payment of $150 by May 1 of each year to guarantee their spaces in the residence halls. After June 1, requests for campus housing will be accommodated and advance payments accepted on space availability. "You don't have to pay these fees then, but you'll have to take your chances when it comes to housing," said Carter. What it comes down to, said Carter, is that the university is "just trying to make the best of finite resources. "Overall costs of WCU are still lower than the other schools within the system," said Carter.
