The governors proposed budget already includes a near $150,000,000 cut. The budget plans have left some North Carolina officials pon- dering about the idea of cap- ping the number of student enrollment for each public . university. North Carolina universi- ties would only be allowed to increase enrollment by one percent every school year if the enrollment cap is passed, For example, University of _ North Carolina Chapel Hills enrollment would be reduced from 4,900 students a year to asmaller 2,200 students. This has many North Car- olinian high schoo! students worried. about the possibil- ity of receiving a four year college degree. An enroll- ment cap would also put a halt to Westerns record set- ting enrollment in 2009, as the university exceeded its record by four percent total- ing 9,429 students. Western | Carolina University has also | nearly doubled its enroll-_ ment since 1999 when the | school only contained 6,580 _ students. Many officials are wor- ried about capping the en- roliment number for uni- -yersities.

A 75-year-old woman It will be intriguiag tosee Was approached by a male suspect in the post office parking lot, according to Capt. Steve Lillard. The suspect produced a hand- wheats to have something so gorgeous, pristine, and free to suddenly have a fee slapped onto it, said WCU Junior Andrea Craven who is majoring in Environmen- tal Science. I hike all the time, enjoying gods most finest creations. However | would still be willing to pay a small fee to continue my efforts as an avid hiker. The Forest Service started charging fees for some recre- ation areas in North Carolina in the late 1990s. Eighty per- cent of the fees are invested in recreating sites on the na- tional forest where they are collected. Without the fee, two things would happen: We would not maintain them and we would not be able to add amenities that people ask for, said Candace Wyman, a spokeswoman for the Nation- al Forests in North Carolina. As an example of how fees benefit where they are charged, the current $3 ve- hicle fee at Roan Mountain generates $27, 000 on oi erage for the site, and the changes would increase that by about $10,000, according to David McFee, operations forester on the Appalachian Ranger District of Pisgah National Forest. The money goes toward maintenance and providing interpretive services at Roan Gardens. Fees are always discour- aging at first, but people grow calloused and end up paying the fees in the end anyways, said Craven. It may not be imminent to the forests health now. However I do feel fees will help out in the future in many ways only forseen from a higher per- spective of an Environmental Scientist or an Ecologist. For off-roaders, fees will increase at two sites, and a new forest-wide seasonal pass will be offered. Most of the money for off-highway vehicle areas goes into main- taining the trails themselves, according to Leigh Marston, who works in operations on robbery in Whittier gun and demanded the womans money and cell phone, Lillard said. The man fled the scene in what appeared to be a silver-colored Chrysler PT Cruiser, which was driven by a white female with blond hair. The male suspect is described as a white male, 57 to 59 in height with blond hair. He was wearing shorts and a white T-shirt with some type of logo on the front of it, Lillard said.
