THIS WEEK: Experience It Fall Break Travel Ideas LIFE PAGE 14 College Costs Getting Cut NEWS PAGE 2 Spartans' Unbeaten Streak Ends SPORTS PAGE 11 THEaronnian THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF UNCG www.carolinianonline.com Rick Smyre shares vision for the future Janine Camara Staff Writer In an effort to link the class-room to the real world, the Con-sumer Apparel and Retail Studies (CARS) Department held its an-nual symposium last Thursday in the EUC Auditorium. Futur-ist Rick Smyre was the keynote speaker at this year's conference, which was entitled "Adapting to a New World: Becoming Leaders of Transformation." Smyre, whose job title may conjure up images of fortune cookies and crystal balls, is not in the business of fortune telling but of helping communities adapt to change. He is also the president of Communities of the Future, an alliance of groups and individu-als within America and across the globe who seek to develop new ideas government, educa-tion, leadership, and economic development, according to their website. The Association of Pro-fessional Futurists defines the vo-cation as one where practitioners "explore the future to anticipate and prepare for change in order to make better decisions today." Smyre delivered a message on preparation for the innumerable possibilities of the future. "I would like for you to forget what you've learned or what you think," Smyre said. He pushed the audience to think outside of the parameters of tradition. Smyre noted that there was nothing wrong with tradi-tion, but he also mentioned that it could serve as a hindrance. "It can be a terrible barrier if you don't become open," Smyre continued. Much of the speech focused on breaking down the science of preparing for and anticipating WWW.UNCG.EOU economic, technological, social and scientific change. "The choices of the future are going to be in a context, we call it the paradigm, that doesn't nec-essarily exist right now," Smyre said. Smyre told his audience, which consisted mainly of students from the CARS department, that their generation would help America and other nations move forward.

The reports will be every 30 minutes between 7:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. and will inform permit holders of available parking spac-es on campus and in the overflow lots. As they see open spaces, Park-ing Operations officers who pa-trol the lots will call in the reports to WUAG who will, in turn, re-port the information to students. If permit holders still cannot find empty spaces, they can call 334-5681, where they will be di-rected to a space either in an on-campus lot or in one of two outer overflow lots. One of these outer lots is IOL.itid behind Jack's Cor-ner on Aycock Street. The other is at 1621 Spring Garden St., across from Shell. A HEAT stop is locat-ed near the building's entrance. If all these lots are full, stu-dents will be directed to the Park and Ride lot near the Greensboro Coliseum on Lee Street. "The partnership with WUAG is another effort on behalf of Parking Operations to better serve the UNCG community through campus access manage-ment," commented Angie Sch-rock, public relations coordinator for UNCG Parking Operations. Some students are a bit skepti-cal as to whether this will help or hinder permit holders trying to find empty parking spaces.
