Lex Menz | Staff Writer (Editor s Note: The fol- lowing is part of a frequent | series featured in the West- ern Carolinian where writ- ers explore whether rumors are true or false.)

But before one can exer- cise the brain and fully con- cern himself/herself with scholastic issues, there are some useful things to know. To aid both new and re- turning students to Western Carolina in this, the Western Carolinian has packed this issue with feature articles ranging from some need to know rules and changes at WCU, tips for survival and a guide to useful locations and activities on and around campus.

It is a time for making friends, learning about the university, and finding a place for every student to feel comfortable and welcome. Kimberly Davis, the University Center Office Manager, provided insight- ful answers about the great hoopla on the UC fawn.
