  • Lauren Gray, Staff Writer When you first arrive to your dorm room, new or not, there is the feeling of excitement about being on campus, checking-in to your dorm or apartment, meeting new people and seeing old friends. After the initial feelings and greetings, you return to your dorm or apartment and it is completely blank and a little dull. Time for decorating! Decorating your dorm or apartment on a college. budget is not the easiest, but it does not have to be the hardest or most expensive. There are a lot of easy and affordable ways to decorate your tiny little room wine break- ing the bank. it Target has twin XL amnionen ranging from $19.99 to $39.99 with matching sheets and dorm accessories. They also have a wide variety of shower curtains, rugs, storage boxes, bookshelves, chairs and more in every color. Most of their items are priced from $5 to under $50 for college dorm items. At most college students favorite place, Walmart, they have really cute and decora- tive comforter sets ranging from $39 to $59. Some of them are even reversible so you can . have two looks in one. If they dont have them in the stores, you can order them online and get the free site-to-store shipping. They also have chairs, beanbags and futons: rang- ing from $20 to $99 for your dorm room and desks for under $40. Kmart has complete bedding sets for $28. 99. and various butterfly , chairs, pictur $400 and below. At local orsigndcnt ot stores like REACH "of Jackson County and Pathways Thrift Store in Sylva, Sassy Girl Consignment i in Dillsboro and Goodwill in Canton and Ashe- ville, you can find tables, dressers, desks, chairs, decorations and more all for under $40. They wsually have quite a few different pieces, most in good shape, for very reason- able prices. Craigslist is also a great place to find items you are looking for in the local area as well. One of the coolest ways to find decorations for your dorm is to hit up yard sales; one per- sons junk is another mans treasure. Vintage items are definitely in style so scour for old lamps and retro posters. One thrifty, fashion- able decorating tip is to find an old t-shirt you - like, maybe one of an old rock band, or just one splashed with neon colors straight out of the 80s; these can be found for as little as a quarter. After finding an awesome vintage T, stuff it with pillow cotton that runs around $2.00 a bag. Next, sew up the arms, neck line, and bottom of the shirt and then you instantly have a one of a kind, totally unique pillow to dress up your.dorm. Before you go out shopping to ee ev- THANE even Teta ers ery single thing you think you need, make sure you look around your house and look at things you already have. Make a collage of all the band and concert posters you have, spray paint older items to give them a fresh look, _ask your older siblings or parents for different ? ideas as well. You can use what you already have at home to make: a lot of interesting things to decorate your dorm. Other places to find very reasonably priced college items include: IKEA, Hobby Lobby, Dollar Store, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and other ' PHOTOS SUBMITTED opr a een eae Steer bere peveer tere ye The picture bev and below show how weed time, agen els and purchasing a Jew ie items Sh Walmart or another store can make ea dorm room dazzle. rr men aa ne discount or thrift stores. Getting creative with your dorm room and - making it your own space does not have to be expensive, you just have to search for what you are looking for and compare different prices. Smoke- free outdoor spaces on Me ae becoming widespread across N.C. Justin Caudell, Editor-in-Chief A new University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine survey of all North Carolina colleges shows that outdoor college smoking prevention policies are now in effect at 88 percent of North Carolinas col- leges and universities (97 of 110). All UNC system and North Carolina Community Col- lege System campuses now have smoke-free buildings. - These results represent dramatic improve- ments in indoor and outdoor protections from secondhand smoke across North Carolina and are a major improvement in fighting the war on cancer, notes Joseph Lee, survey manager, and social research specialist the UNC School . of Medicines Tobacco Prevention and Evalu- ation Program. Forty-three campuses now protect over 185,500 North Carolina students each semester from tobacco exposure in all in- door and outdoor areas. Community colleges in North Carolina have more smoke-free and tobacco-free poli- cies than either public four-year universities or private college/university policies. Thirty-one community colleges (53 percent) have com- plete smoke- or tobacco-free campuses. An additional six community colleges (10 per- _ cent) have policies protecting exposure to sec- ondhand smoke a certain number of feet from doorways and windows. Twelve (75 percent) of UNC system uni- versities have policies that prevent smoking at building entrances and exits, and four of those policies (25 percent) protect students from ex- posure to secondhand smoke within 100 feet of all buildings. Private colleges and univer- sities had fewer overall protections than their public two- and four-year counterparts, with - 13 (36 percent) having outdoor protections at all building entrances and exits and nine (25 percent) having 100 percent smoke-free poli- cies. All but one private university has com- pletely eliminated smoke exposure in all cam- pus buildings. With only 13. of North Carolina s 110 col- lege and university campuses having no re- strictions on tobacco use outdoors, North Car- olina is moving towards compliance with The American College Health Association, which represents university health centers, and their recommendation of 100 percent tobacco-free campuses indoors and outdoors. North Carolina clearly leads in the United States in its promotion of tobacco-free col- leges, said Dr. Adam Goldstein, Professor of Family Medicine and Director of the UNC Tobacco Prevention and Evaluation Program, which conducted the analysis. The North Carolina Health & Wellness Trust Fund de- serves significant recognition for its successful promotion of this initiative. The college tobacco policy survey was conducted as part of the evaluation of the N.C. Tobacco-Free Colleges Initiative, which helps colleges and universities adopt and imple- ment tobacco-free policies with funding from. the North Carolina Health & Wellness Trust Fund, a state commission that receives settle- ment funds from a lawsuit against the tobacco industry. The Initiative has provided services to 95 percent of North Carolinas colleges and universities. Researchers identified poli- cies at all 110 college and universities that are members of the University of North Carolina system, the North Carolina Community Col- lege System, or North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities. Policies were then independently coded to ensure accuracy. The investments in North Carolinas ee he. he & * ea Tobacco-Free Colleges Initiative through the N.C. Health & Wellness Trust Fund are pay- ing off in creating a healthier environment for staff, students, faculty, and visitors to campus- es across the state, notes Dr. Goldstein. The list of tobacco-free campuses is avail- able online at http://www.tpep.unc.edu/re- ports/tf_colleges.pdf.
