Each $125, tax-deductible donation to the Catafnount Legacy Walk will be honored with a 4-by-8-inch, reddish- orange brick paver to be en- graved with a message from the donor and installed on campus. With enough dona- tions, the first section of 300 pavets will be engraved and installed as a group near the Atumni Tower j in the spring. are commencement, , said Yee tree Adams-Dunford. - After requests, Western Carolinian now w offering en. From Staff Reports The Western Carolinian, Western Carolina Univer- sitys award-winning student newspaper, has started to do what some of their counter- parts are considering not do- ing anymore: offer eas . tions. Though many newspapers across the country are see- ing a decline in circulation, Justin Caudell, the Western _ , Carolinians editor-in-chief, ~- believes there is a market for the newspaper. We have had a lot of parents routinely ask us if we offer subscriptions, and we finally got to thinking, ~ Bricks engraved with messages will be installed to form the Catamount Legacy Walk. Donors also receive a commemorative certificate for each paver commis- sioned. Those honoring or remembering someone with their order may choose to give the certificate as recog- _ nition of their gift. When students, alumni, faculty, | staff and friends Yee commission a brick to honor why not, said Caudell. We dont put online everything we have in our print edition and we also typically have special features in the news-- paper that cannot be fully replicated on our website. One case in point Caudell mentioned was a_ special three-page spread the West- em Carolinian did on the Pride of the Mountains in. their January 28, 2011 edi- tion. To honor the Pride of the Mountains trip to the Tour- nament of Roses Parade and also to address other excit- ing news the band had at the time, we built our Arts and Entertainment section around student achievements or re- member someone, they write a piece of the WCU history that will be preserved on this walk and leave a legacy for students to come, said Ad- ams-Dunford: Eighty percent of each Catamount Legacy Walk donation. goes directly to the AS eye E Wee: Division of Student them in our Jan. 28 edition, said Caudell. The design we put into a special-like that is something members of the band and also their friends and family are going to want to have to keep and possibly frame. Something like that on our website could never be tangible or keep worthy, he added.

Unlike many newspa- pers who use third class or media mail, we will be mail- ing our papers first class to readers, Caudell said. We dont want our subscribers who live in New York City or Seattle to have to wait up- wards of seven days to get their paper. Most subscribers who live on the East Coast will receive the Western Car- olinian in 1-2 days and the Mid-East and West Coast in 3-5 days. .
