  • Page 3 WESTERN CAROLINIAN September 11, 2009 NEWS Balsam Dorm Problems Slowly Going Away By Adam Crisp Staff Writer As of Tuesday, Sept. 1, the move in date for displaced students of Balsam Dorm was Thursday, Sept. 3. Ever since the beginning of the fall semester, delays in finishing the construction of the dorm has left only a handful of students able to live in their own dorm rooms. On. Tuesday, Sept. 1, a student meeting took place in FPAC _ between the Balsam Dorm residents, both present and future, and representatives from Western Carolina University. Even with the full move in on Sept. 3, certain things such as WI/ FI, stoves, and Air Conditioning will still not be up and running or, in the case of the air conditioning, be running but not at full capacity while the kinks are getting worked out. As for the WI/FI and the stoves, the wires have been installed for the WI/FI, but the equipment PAW Printing System Surfaces on Campus By Adam Crisp Staff Writer _ Anew printing. service that has surfaced on campus this semester. is creating ease for students, but not all. The service is called PAW, which stands: for Print Any Where and will allow faculty and students to be able to upload their files from their personal computers and be able to print them . at several locations around campus. One of the things were trying to do is open up more opportunities for the student to print on campus, says Tom Frazier, Print Shop Manager at WCU, about the new PAW printer. services. Frazier went on to explain, Lets say you've got a laptop on campus, youve been able to print in the library, a lab in Forsyth, and a lab in Moore that you can print to. We're almost to the point where you should have available a device in front of base camp in Brown, were getting ready to move a device in the new courtyard dining hall, there is a device available in the University Center on the third floor, and we're working with academic. departments to identify devices... so a student can go virtually anywhere on campus... swipe their Cat Card, and [print] the same way you do in the library now The challenge has been getting everything to work correctly, The IT staff, under Al Sanders, IT Project Coordinator, has been working out the bugs. 'The PAW Micheal Hudson using the paw print system. hasnt been, and the proper fire suppression system isnt up and running to be.able to use th stove. Among some of the kinks are missing shipments of window screens, some rooms are hot while some are very cold, the carpet was laid in a sub-par fashion, reports of low water pressure, and, for one young lady at least, a toilet that works one out of three times. Despite the many setbacks, everyone was in good spirits and ready for the dorm to fully open. Some of the students reactions during the meeting on Sept. 1 to the situation were as follows: Tts not been too bad. No A/C has been kind of a bummer since they kind of promised A/C in room, WI/FIL, and all that. You cant really control construction if theres hang ups, weather, and different things. Its sort of frustrating to deal with all the construction, and they've promised us all these privileges, and then we sort of round out we dont have them. _ printer service had been originally scheduled to be completely up by this semester, but IT had to back up on some of the implementation and is now projecting the system | to be completely up by the spring. Part of the reason for the delay is because of the numerous systems the PAW printer service has to go _ through. Other than ease of access, students will also see a reduction in the price of printing out their work. Last year to print copies the price was $.08 with a cat card, $.10 with cash, and color prints were $.50. With PAW the price will be reduced to $.05 for black and whites and $.25, for color copies. However for faculty and staff, the transition to PAW seems a little more difficult. The biggest concern is that none of them were consulted, and professors with classes that traditionally use a 1ot of printouts for their students have been forced to find different methods of transmitting information with little to no warning. On top of that, the ambiguous demand of dont print too much, . has had an additional, ...or you'll take money away from travel pay, attached -to it; Many faculty members are unsure what too much, is, and the added burden has even caused at least one faculty member to by their own printer so as to bypass the system. (For more information on PAW, go to www.weu. edu/22953.asp) Photo by Maegan Zigarevich It'll be nice when its done. Ym glad I get to live there, because its going to be really nice when its finished. It hasnt been too bad. Actually for me its been hassle free. I was really just grateful that we could move in, and everything with our room was just good. No major temperature issues. Im just happy we dont have to move our stuff again. Ym sure [Western Carolina has] done the best job they can. Its just a pity, and its probably more the contractors fault than theirs, As the weeks roll on, those living in Balsam Dorm should be hearing less and less of the construction work, and have only a minimal amount of problems with their dorm. Also, as reconciliation, those who were displaced will get an inconvenience fee credited to their student account for the time spent in other dorms. By Christa Hensley WC Intern The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles is in the process of changing the system of driver li- cense to central issuance in order to. help prevent identity theft. New or renewed licenses will be mailed out to customers from a central office in Raleigh instead of being issued at local DMV driver license offices across the state. According to the NC DOT website, this law was passed by the General Assembly in July 2006 | NC to Switch to Central issuance of Driver Licenses and is being required.in order to make driver licenses more secure by helping to prevent identity theft, fraud, and counterfeiting, _ . The process of applying for licenses will remain the same in that all driving tests and photos will be taken at local DMV offices. Applicants will receive a Tempo- rary Driving Certificate at the local DMV to use with their expired license for a photo id until they get their new license in the mail. According to the DOT, the new licenses will arrive within 20 days, the amount of time for which the Temporary Driving Certificates are valid. The DMV recommends that drivers renew their licenses early, which can be done starting 6 months before the renewal date. North Carolina joins 16 other states in the shift to the use of the central issuance system, including Virginia, Georgia and Nevada. The Sylva Driver License of- fice was unable to comment on the new system due to DMY rules. (Applicants can find more informa- tion at the DMV website, http:// www.nedot.org/dmy,) Changing Cigarette Warnings to Hit U.S. Packages By Shawndee Jenkins Staff Writer Within three years, cigarette packages are going to rapidly trans- form from the mild warnings shown today to a much more graphic, shocking, and disturbing package. The U.S Food and Drug Adminis- tration (FDA) was recently granted the right to regulate the marketing of products and thus choose how those products be represented. With this newfound authority, the FDA has two years to establish the specifics regarding the graphic images required of cigarette manu- factures to place on their packages. A recent article published by HealthDay, opened with Would a gruesome picture of a cancer-ray- aged mouth with rotting teeth make you think twice about buying a pack of cigarettes? This image is one of many that will cover over half of the front and back of cigarette packages. The FDA hopes that, these very gruesome and graphic images, blackened lungs, gangrenous feet, bleeding brains and people breath- ing through tracheotomies, will discourage smokers from buying: cigarettes; a system modeled af- ter the regulations already set in places such as Canada and Aus- tralia, though probably not as se- vere aS some countries like Bra- zils. cigarette packages which include pictures of dead babies. The FDAs new law aims at decreasing smoking, but will it? Some people, both smokers and non-smokers alike, believe the images will at first be startling but lose their shock factor after a few months. The images will be reduced to simple warnings and could quite possible be ignored as many smok- ers today ignore the text-only warn- ings currently on cigarette packages. One Western Carolina Universi- ty student, a smoker, stated, There is only so much that somebody or an organization can do to try and make a person quit. Sure, you can try to evoke fear, but as the saying goes, you can only lead a horse to the water, but you cant make him drink it. A person has truly got to want to quit before they will. The student went on to talk about how its a good idea to have gruesome warnings, and believes the system to have potential, but doesnt think its going to work. Another WCU student, a non- smoker, believed the new laws will be very beneficial to the anti-smok- ing cause for several reasons, He understands the gruesome pictures will not get every smodker to stop smoking, but hopefully it will scare at least some of the smokers into quitting. He mentioned the FDAs . new law will be most successful in preventing a person from beginning to smoke. Seeing as theyre not al- ready addicted to the nicotine, the pictures will be disturbing enough to get them to stop and think about the causes unlike smokers who have nicotine already in their sys- tem constantly reminding them of their addiction. Most likely, a per- son considering smoking will walk. away from a cigarette if they see a rotting mouth on the package. Some research has been con- ducted on the matter of whether or not the shocking images will have quite the effect the FDA hopes for. The research, carried out by. Jer- emy Kees, an assistant professor of marketing at Villanova University, concluded the more powerful the image, the more shocking it was, and thus prompted more smokers to say they intended to quit.
