Psychology clinic has new location
Audrie Webster
Staff Writer
Attention, attention: UNCG's
psychology clinic has moved!
The psychology department is
proud to present this expansion
that has been in the works for
over 20 years and was achieved
as of mid-September. ·
The rapidly-growing clinic
that was could once be found on
the third floor of the Eberhart
building on campus, now is located
on the third floor of 1100
West Market. It sits across the
street and about a block towards
downtown, diagonally from the
music building.
This specific location was chosen
for its better availability, better
parking, more privacy, and
visibility to the public. The clinic
is available not only to UNCG
students and faculty, but also to
the public. The clinic offers psychiatric
and psychological services
to children, adolescents, and
adults. Also now located within
the building is the attention-deficit
hyperactivity disorder clinic.
After two months of hard, efficient
work and manual labor
in the moving of the clinic, a
beautiful facility has been created
that among other things,
has regular therapy rooms, family
therapy rooms, testing rooms,
and a peaceful atmosphere to
accompany the friendly staff. A
student from the Intei-ior Archi~

clinic, helping the rooms to look
professional and approving the
feng shui.
This movement has beeh
fought long and hard for, but the
limited space available for something
as significant as a psychology
clinic is hard to come by, causing
the delay in progress. Many ·
people have been a part of this
evolution including the clinic's
manager, the university's provost,
multiple deans of various
departments, and various department
heads. The clinic has been
in existence since the 1970s. but

Another tuition increase proposal
Toby Shearer
Staff Writer
As the stock market continues
its slow downward sweep,
many people have been left
financially scrambling, including
the North Carolina University
system. Mindful of the
changing financial landscape,
and following the announced
findings of the university sanctioned
Tuition Increase Taskforce
released in early November,
Chancellor Linda Brady
and the Provost office held a
student discussion forum on
Nov. 20 to discuss a proposed
tuition and "fees increase for
the 2009-10 academic school
year.
Chancellor Brady was joined
by Provost and Vice Chancellor
David Parrin and Vice

Provost Allan Boyette. The
presentation to the attending
students was concisely set on
exploring the impact of the
tuition increase for students,
faculty and the university, allowing
students a chance to
respond. The student response
was one of understanding, but
also wary caution.
Currently North Carolina:
state legislators have mandated
a five percent cut from
the current fiscal budget, approximately
2.4 million dollars
UNCG must return, and
the Chancellor is anticipating
a five to nine percent permanent
budget cut in July 2009.
OnFridayNov.21 theUNCG
· Board of Trustees met and approved
a five percent increase
for in-state undergraduate
and graduate students, and a
two point five percent increase

for out-of-state undergraduate
and graduate students. Financially
this equates to a yearly
in-state tuition increase for
$141 for undergraduate and
$161 for graduate students,
and a yearly out-of-state increase
of $366 for graduate
and $370 for undergraduate
students.
Of the estimated 2.5 million
the tuition increase will generate,
SO percent will be allotted
for a pooled fund focused
on faculty retention, and SO
percent allotted to increasing
overall financial aide grants.
Chancellor Brady outlined
other financial efforts to offset
the budget cuts including expenditure

upper administration, increased

Faculty Senate revises
general education goals
Maggie Colgrove
Staff Writer
The Faculty Senate met
Wednesday Nov.19 for the
General Education Forum.
a forum presenting an opportunity
for Faculty members
to voice their opinions
on the tentatively-revised
General Education Goals.
The meaning for revising
these goals included creatin-
g a more clear and understandable
point that would
line up clearly with course
requirements.
The five revised learning
goals include: foundational
skills, the aesthetic world,
the natural world, the social
world, and personal development.
Sophomore Gena Hurley,
who htdped in creating
the revised goals, discussed
her reasoning, saying that
she, "took GEC classes that
were most relevant to her
major and learned to apply
them in different contexts."
Discussion among faculty
members included concern
that the revised goals stated
that "UNCG focusing on students
learning as the highest
priority." Lisa Tolbert of the
General Education Council
led the discussion arguing
that "The institution itself
does, in fact, embrace student
learning as the highest
priority and II}E.ybe not faculty
members.( a~ the highest
priority)." In- response the -
faculty argued that "If the .
institutional goals and faculty
goals do not line up then .
there is something wrong."
The meeting ended without
reaching and conclusion
and will be continued at the
next Faculty Senate meeting.
A few easy tips to reduce your energy use
and help protect our environment!
• Go natural! Have a nature inspired centerpiece!
Find things outside like berries and
pinecones to decorate this year!
• Having a holiday party? Go tree-friendly
and cut back on paper products, sending
electronic invitations and go the extra mile,
use china and cloth napkins for your dinner
setting!
• Try using recycled wrapping paper or newspaper
this year. Americans throw away
25% more trash-an additional 5 million
tons- between Thanksgiving and New
Years!
• Look for durable, re-usable Christmas gifts
this year. Check the labels!! And try buying
locally made items from local vendors.
