BG August 24, 2012 FRESHMAN SURVIVAL GUIDE WCU heads into game- WCU News Services . The 2012-13 academic year is shaping up -as a game-changer | at Western Carolina + sUniversity as faculty, staff and students begin to tackle priorities set by the universitys recently approved stra- tegic plan, titled 2020 Vision: Focusing Our Future. That was the word _ Wednesday, Aug. 15, from WCU Chancellor David O. Belcher in his annual Opening As- sembly address to kick off the fall semester, as he called on members of the university commu- nity to help realize the _ vision articulated by . the strategic plan. . Its going to bea huge year, a game- changing year wherein | we begin to make reali- ties of the goals we set for ourselves in 2020 Vision: Focusing Our - Future. A handful of. people cannot tackle this agenda alone. And we cannot just rely on ' the usual suspects, Belcher said. This isa call to action for each of you, and I challenge each of you to find your ~ role in these endeavors to make a difference at Western Carolina University. The university begins the 2012 fall semester on firmer financial - footing than the previ- ous academic year, an . improvement made pos- sible in partthrough the implementation ofa more open budget pro- cess with widespread participation of faculty, staff and students, he said. Western Carolina is in a stronger fiscal posi- tion than it was a year ago, Belcher said. We experienced no budget cuts or reversions last year.. That might sound like a sobering place to start we dont lose anything but last year ~ was the first year in four years that WCU did not experience a budget cut or a rever- sion. This appears to be a sign of stabilization. Against the backdrop of an improved budget- ary picture that in- - cludes 1.2 percent raises for staff and faculty, the first salary increase in four years, Belcher said much of the work for the year ahead will be guided by the strategic CASS!

I know its not sexy, but we ignore these issues gies for economic and community develop- ment, and to explore how WNC can take a more regional approach to solving problems and working on issues. The conference is in. the planning stages, with additional details ' to be announced soon, Belcher said. Video from the Opening Assembly and copies of remarks are available online at news.wcu.edu. LADY Nena psig Vn AY Z i ting of Cullowhee, with ' The Western Carolinian Partying smart will save your life By Ryan Alexander Co-Editor-in-Chief Many of students have seen Animal House,. The Hangover and American Pie as well as the parties that make up the majority of those movies. Parties like that can found in Cullowhee, . but partying safe is im- portant to remember. Before you go about funneling a beer or doing your fifth vodka shot of the hour, remember that alcohol poisoning in a real danger while party- ing. It is very easy to get caught up having a great time partying with your friends and losing count of how many drinks you have had. The general rule is to limit yourself -to.two drinks an hour, to make sure that the - alcohol does not hit you _ - | too hard. . ' interim dean of WCUs oS One of the most impor- , tant things you will do - while partying in college is finding a designated driver to get you to and from the party safely. Graham Thomp- son, Western Carolina University senior, said, Being a designated driver isnt a bad thing at all. You are keeping your friends and everyone else safe when you DD. Having a designated driver will keep you out of jail on a DUI charge and keep other drivers safe from accidents. - In May, the alcohol referendum vote was passed, which means alcohol can now be sold in Cullowhee: Establish- ments like Bobs Mini. Mart now sell alcohol to those of 21-years-old and up. Some speculate that this recent development will lower the number of DUIs and car accidents ir caused by alcohol-im- 6 paired drivers because students will no longer have to drive to Sylva and back to buy more six packs. : For freshmen living in Walker and Scott resi- -dence halls, remember that those are alcohol free buildings with zero tolerance for posses. sion or consumption of alcohol. ff you go out partying and have had a drink, be advised to stay somewhere else that night. Your body is considered a container of | alcohol, and you will get _ a drinking ticket. Partying is supposed to be a fun experience, and partying smart will help to ensure that par- tiers have a good, safe time.
