6 | WCnewsmagazine Book rental policy under review By Carrie Petrea + WGnewsmagazine Westem Carolina's book rental policy, one of three book rental Policies within the UNC system, will be under review in an effort to encourage other schools to adopt the policy. Prices of textbooks increase every year to an almost unaffordable amount. In response, Erskine Bowles, president of the UNC system, is encouraging more schools to adopt a book rental policy to ease the financial burden on students across the system. If the average textbook costs approximately $70 and the average student takes five classes, the total cost for books is $350 a semester. wcu students have an advantage over most other students in the UNC. system. Each semester, fulltime undergraduate students pay a flat-rate of $107 for all textbooks from 100-499 level courses. If an undergraduate student wishes to purchase their textbook, they may do so at the replacement cost, or 75% of the original cost, Part-time students pay a fee depending on the number of hours they Relay for Life at WCU in full swing By Russell Conover * Wenewsmagazine The 2006 Relay for Life is in full swing at Western Carolina University, and expectations are high. Participants at the University have already raised more than $5,000 to fund cancer research and to reduce the spread of this disease. This figure is impressive, although the university still has a ways to go to reach its goal for the year of $20,000. However, there is still plenty of time to get involved in the Relay. Everyone is encouraged to do so, whether by joining a team, making a donation, of coming to the Relay for Life on campus in April. More participants in the event will mean more people working together to make cancer a thing of the past. It's never been easier to be a part of the Relay at WCU. The campus Office, located on the third floor of the UC, is always open to Provide information and support. Additionally, the website for the event, www.acsevents.org/relay/ wou, provides valuable information and makes it easy to contribute to the cause of funding cancer research. This research saves the lives of thousands of Here are the names of our latest winners of the SPARC $5 cash prize giveaways for the Now: We Know keytags. Safe Ride is here! The Study to Prevent Alcohol-related Consequences (SPARC) is piloting a Safe Ride shuttle for the next three weeks to provide free late night transportation for students to off campus businesses. The shuttle is free and will run from 9:00pm to 1:00am on an hourly route into Sylva on Thursday and Friday nights starting this Thursday March 23. Students may caich the shuttle behind the University Center on the hour (9,10,11, and 12). Stops include Wal-mart (9:10), Soul Infusion (9:15), Quin Theater/Colimas/Jack the per (9:20), O'Malley's (9:30), Main Street Sports Bar (9:40), Catamount Peak Apartments (9:50) and then back to the University Center.

Fees range from $8.15 for students taking a one hour course to $89.65 for students taking 11 course credit hours. Western's policy does not cover graduate level or distance education courses. These textbooks are found in either the bookstore's textbook section or the Book Rental Department. On the downside, professors may ask for new textbooks only every three years. While this may not be a big problem for some departments, others such as the technology departments need to update their textbooks more often because technology changes rapidly. Erskine Bowles main concem is finding the money to start the program for other universities in North Carolina, which can easily add up to millions of dollars. However, some schools feel that with Bowles support, every school in the North Carolina system can create their own book rental policy simitar to Westems, patients across the country, but the government has cut its funding significantly in tecent months, Therefore, it is essential that Western Carolina University raise as much money as possible to support the Relay for Life. If donating is not possible, people can always join a team or spend time at the overnight event for the Relay on April 7-8, 2006, Here, all the teams and participants will gather to celebrate those who have survived cancer and to remember those who have not. A member of each team will continuously walk around the UC lawn in honor of cancer patients and researchers across the Country; the night is bound to be inspiring and fun for everyone. 2006 looks to be a great year for the Relay for Life at Western Carolina University, so come out and show your support. Not only will you be helping the community win the ongoing battle against cancer, but you'll also have the opportunity to make new friends and have fun. This year's Relay will be a definite winner for everyone, 35. Dylan Champney 30, Jordan Brop) 46. Drew Barnett {Nailin Brown 37.
