2 Page 7 WESTERN CAROLINIAN CAM rATS LIFE Community -Bayleigh Davis, Contributing Writer Absent from publica- tion since 2005, the lack of a yearbook for Western Carolina University has Taised questions among both -alumni and current students alike. While reasons for the cease in production are un- known, some believe that it was because of the. price increase. Would West- ern benefit from bringing a yearbook back? Where would the money for the production come from? Do students want a yearbook? Some members of the college community would benefit from their being a yearbook. Marty Ramsey, -director of alumni affairs, uses the past yearbooks on a members debate idea of a yearbook daily basis. | The. yearbooks are a great resource for alumni affairs. When I go to meet with alumni, I can just pull one of the. yearbooks off the shelf and take it with me, Ramsey said. According to TJ Eaves, _ SGA president, if the stu- dents really wanted a year- book it would be a lot of work and would most likely require its own department. Tt would be really cool as a photo book and in 2025 students would be able to look back and see what 2012 was like, Eaves said. Eaves later stated that money for yearbooks would have to come from individ- ual students wanting to pur- chase the book. Most students would like to see a yearbook, but worry about the cost. I would want to buy one, but it all comes down to the price. My high school yearbook was $75 and Im guessing that a college year- book would be a bit more, said Samantha Tillett, a sophomore. Reagan Hartley, a sani _ had something similar to say. _ J think it would be a pretty cool idea, the only problem I could see would be the cost, Hartley said. IT dont: know how many people would be able to pay a lot for a yearbook. Other schools similar in size to Western, like UNC Wilmington and UNC Pem-. broke no longer have year- books. The University of North Carolina at Wilmington has not had a yearbook in the past 15-20 years, said Rob MclInturf, director of alumni relations at UNCW. Although Western no longer has a yearbook, the office of alumni affairs puts out an alumni directory ev- ery five years. The directory has short blurbs about whats happen- ing in their (the alumnis) lives, Ramsey said. Alumni are encouraged to submit current photos of themselves or their families. The directory contains con- tact information for alumni and is used mostly for alum- ni to reach each other. In past years, the alumni diree- tory has cost $100 each, Western Carolina students launch voter education, participation effort in Jackson County WCU News Services Western Carolina Uni- versity students kicked-off the Cullowhee Voter Initia- tive, a nonpartisan effort to improve voter education and participation in Jackson County, with a voter reg- istration drive and student debate on campus Feb, 23. A second event, a de- bate in which members of the North Carolina General Assembly are scheduled to participate, will take place in the theater of WCUs A.K. Hinds University Center on Monday at 6 p.m. Student organizers said additional events will be planned in Jackson County.

In addition, he will cover . how to develop safer, more effective gun control laws in the United States. A criminology professor at Florida State University, Kleck teaches courses on facts all come into play dur- ing the decision of whether or not to issue a timely warning.

Both also said they were particularly motivated to develop the Cullowhee Vot- et Initiative by voter turnout figures in Jackson County, especially from 2010, that they believe could be bet- ter. Turnout among regis- tered voters ages 18 to 25 in Jackson County in 2010 was 17 percent, while turh- out was 27 percent for vot- ets ages 26 to 40, 55 percent for voters ages 41 to 65, and 60 percent. for voters oe : criminology, law enforce- ment, research methods, gun control, violence theory and crime control.

Community members who are interested in gun policy and gun-related vio- lence are encouraged to at- facts so we can get the warn- ing out, he said. I will put in as much information as I can so that you can make a decision about protecting yourself. The same holds true for any criminal event on cam- pus. Students are urged to report criminal activity as soon as possible to maxi- 60 and above, according to statistics posted by the orga- nization cau eae North Carolina. Miller and Crockett formed a nonpartisan steer- ing committee of six stu- dents to lead the initiative, and their first goal is to reg- ister 1,000 people to vote before April. This effort crosses po- litical divides, said Crock- ett. The Cullowhee Voter Initiative is about giving people a voice and empow- ering them to shape the fu- ture of their community and their government. Our core mission is to inform citizens of the issues and get them to . vote, of how ey vote.
