The Western Carolinian FRESHMAN SURVIVAL GUIDE August 24,2012 BS A costly mistake: parking know-hows By Ryan Alexander Co-Editor-in-Chief . So you just arrived on campus for your first _ semester of college, and after Where are the parties? and What are the easiest classes? the next question you might ask is Where do I park my car? You may not know this about Western Carolina, but parking is incredibly cheap here in Cullowhee. At places like UNC- Chapel Hill and Appala-: chian State, parking can | cost you anywhere from $200-400, and that does not guarantee you a good spot. At WCU, parking costs $84. That is hun- dreds of dollars that you can spend at midnight Waffle House runs and nights at Raes City Grill. However, there are some stipulations that go along with the cheap parking. Make sure that you only park in lots that you are allowed to be in dur- ing business hours, 8-5 M-F, because you will get a ticket or a wheel lock ' quicker than you can say Beat App. For freshman, this means the designated freshman lots and overflow parking areas. Parking in commuter lots is the quickest way to get towed or geta ticket. You can park your car wherever you want to after 5 p.m., but if you choose to do that, be sure to move it early the next morning or you will have a hefty $40 fine. | : _ Most parking tickets run near or just over $40, The full list of charges. for all violations can be found in Article 5 of the - WCU Parking-Traffic Rules and Regulations. The heaviest fine is $250. for parking in a handi- capped space. If you receive three parking tickets in one semester, your parking pass can be revoked, and you will Photo by Lex Menz/Staff Signs like these are located at the entrance to WCU lots to inform drivers where they _ can park. not be allowed to have your vehicle on campus any longer. Be carefully ofcon- _ fusing signs. Some lots. do not say what type of permit is allowed to park there. The large parking lot behind Reynolds dor- mitory and Robertson dormitory is actually two separate lots. To the - right of Robertson is a - commuter lot. It has sev- eral parking spaces for commuters but fills up quickly. If you pass the second lot sign directly between Robertson and Reynolds, the new lot ' is only for upperclass- men residents. However, Solace in the Safe Zone By Logan Porter and Carvan Craft Staff Writer Gender identity, equal- ity and sexuality are im- portant topics in today's world and even more so across college campuses. Many see the established "norms" as irrelevant and outdated, especially regarding issues con- sidered deeply personal and transcendent of the pressures of society. What gender a man or woman identifies with is wholly independent of the gender with which they were born. As high profile bullying and teen suicides have gained national attention, the conversation has rapidly _shifted on how best to respond to the psycho- : logical needs of young people, whatever their situation may be. In the interest of com- munity well-being, West- ern Carolina University has gone the extra mile in providing training for those who teach, and counseling and support- ive services for those question their gender and sexual identity. Safe Zone is an initiative that focuses on training staff and faculty in their interactions with and eunderstanding of stu- dents that may seek sup- - port. According to their website, the Safe Zone symbol visibly identi- fies people and places that are 'safe' for les- bian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT), students, faculty, staff and community mem- bers. The intent is to provide safety, support, trustworthiness, and affirmation regardless _ of sexuality. Additionally, West- ern Carolina offers a number of psychological services directly avail- able to students. Michelle Cooper, as- -sociate director of the. Counseling and Psycho- logical Services at WCU, said she and the other certified counselors are offering a number of programs in the coming fall to provide counsel- ing services for any and all students. : Rainbow Room, a sup- port group specifically geared towards those who question their orientation or sexual identity, should be up and running by the fall. This depends, however, on whether or not Coun- seling services can find someone new to head the program. Our staff cultural gender psychologist left to work at another university, and we haven't been able to fill that position just -yet, Cooper said. But Rainbow Room is one of the groups that we still anticipate offering in the fall. there is no announce- ment that the lot has switched from commuter to residents. It is an easy spot to accidentally get a ticket. Also, remember that yellow-lined park-' ing spaces are only for faculty and staff: Park- _ing there is a guarantee to get an orange boot decoration on a wheel of ; your vehicle. es This year, some com- muter parking spots were removed, including the spots heading up the hill to Reynolds dormi- tory and the Old Student Union, with no one being allowed to park in those spaces anymore. This will put the already limited number of com- muter spaces at an even more limited level. If you are commuting, and do not want to take - the off-campus shuttle service provided by the Cat Tran, make sure you get to a space before 8:00 a.m. The commuter | spots are almost always gone by the start of the school day, so plan ac- - cordingly. The golden rule of. parking on campus is to. simply go where it says you can go on your per- mit. If you stray from the areas you are allowed in, you are risking a ticket. Ld Photo by Amelia Holmes/Staff The Bird Building provides students with counseling | services, Safe Zone and health services. WCU's Counseling and 4 and: case manager at Psychological Services will also offer a new way to conduct visits to their ' offices in the coming fall. Basically, any student everyday can kin | | and meei. ti sunsel- . or. These lh k-ins will be o:. yme first serve basi. 00- ' per said; She went on to state that this method would allow for a much more - personalized fit for the student due to the nature of the personal consultation. Known as WheeCU, this new streamlined process will cost students nothing and will be available any day of the week. We're trying to be more responsive and approachable. You can come inand wait a few minutes or make an appointment for the next day, Cooper said. That's what we're here tOR ts Ned Martin, counselor WCU, also stressed the importance of Counsel- ing Services. We [Counseling Services] want to be of help especially in times of transition, continued Martin. Seeking help can help us get access to new resources and new ways of coping. We realize the stress we're feeling is not that uncommon. Stress can oftentimes make us feel | isolated, so seeking help can make us feel more connected to others. Martin encouraged students who feel over- whelmed and troubled to walk into the Bird build- ing for an always listen- ing ear to give support and guidance. One of the most important things is to find a sense of support... finding a community or group you can connect with...people who you can care about and can -care about you, said Martin.
