Holidays at the UC is a series of programs and events that helps give back to our local community aid programs, said Jeff Hughes direc- tor of the University Center. Families from both WCU and the surrounding communities are (Continued on Page 2) _ From Staff Reports More than 275 students were vaccinated against the 2009 HIN1 influenza virus at the first four clin- ics held on campus after the arrival of the first shipment of vaccine in early November. Most of our students fit into one of the priority groups to receive the vaccine, so we tried to take the shots to them where they were by hosting clinics in residence halls and Hinds University Center, said Pam Bu- chanan, director of health services. We will have flu vaccines available in the Health Center this week and expect toward the end of the week to be able to open that up to faculty and staff. WCU initially received 500 dos- es of vaccine 300 nasal-spray flu vaccines and 200 flu shots. A second shipment arrived soon thereafter with 400 nasal-spray flu vaccines. _ We are on the list to get more HIGHER TUITIO TO BE VOTED the By Adam Crisp Staff Writer 2010 may see tuition and fees go slightly over $10,000 for in-state undergraduates who live on cam- pus. These figures come from the new fiscal year 2010- 2011 proposal that will be voted on by the board pi trustees in December. We are proposing a six-and-a-half percent increase in the North Carolina resident undergraduate and gradu- ate tuition and a similar dollar amount in non-resident.. By order of the general administration 50 percent of that money will go towards need based financial aid...the other 50 percent will be used to further the implementa- tion of the quality enhancement plan as well as focus on retention and graduation rates, and first year experience _ of our students. We really dont have any other means of being able to get dollars to support those programs with- out using... tuition, explains Vice Chancellor George Wooten. : Some fees are also going up. As itis, Western Caroli- , na University has a significantly smaller student popula- tion than of most North Carolina schools, resulting in a smaller pool of student to pull income from. This results in a higher charge for various fees in order to provide the same services as schools with higher populations. Over all, even with the proposed increases, WCU is still well below the $19,388 national average cost of a four year public institution, Western is the seventh low- (Continued on Page 2) (vaccine), but we are not sure when it will arrive, said Buchanan. Priority groups to receive the vaccine include young adults ages 19 through 24 as well as pregnant women, health care and emergency medical services personnel, children from 6 months through 18 years of | age, infant caregivers and people ages 25 though 64 who have health conditions that put them at higher risk of medical complications from influenza. Last week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention re- ported that the HIN1 flu had killed an estimated 3,900 Americans from April to October, including more than 500 children, and that an es- timated 22 million Americans had been infected and 98,000 hospital ized.
