Nearly one hundred students were on hand to take pan in the vigil and subsequent march to Aycock auditorium, where former U.S. Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders spoke. Eric Harris, member of the Beta Epsilon chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, described the event as "remembering not only one of the brothers in our fraternity, but and extraordi-nary man himself.

With the buyback line pouring out of the book-store's front doors and the checkout line snaking across the EUC lobby, students have been talking (and sometimes ranting) about the UNCG bookstore this week. Many students expressed frustration with the bookstore's prices. "I think they're over priced. But it is nicer now, so I don't know if they raise their prices because they're tying to pay for all this," said Jenny Gleason, junior. "We're already broke anyway so you know they're just taking more money that we could use on other things that we need like toiletries or gro-ceries or anything else we want to use our money for besides just buying books," said Nikki Harris, junior. "I feel that it's over-priced compared to what I experienced last semester at Addam's Book Store," said Tori Simmons, freshman. "I would say they're very, very overpriced. I don't think it takes that much money to make a book, especially when you buy them in bulk," said Rory Scott, freshman. "The used prices are a little better, but I still think they could do better, especially for what they buy them back for." According to Kelly Young, the textbook manager, the bookstore marks all new books up 237c uniformly. Not everyone felt the prices the UNCG bookstore sets for its textbooks are inap-propriate. "I heard another guy complain about the prices of books, but that's to be expect-ed," said Neal Sexton, junior. "Well I mean that's part of the, ah, you know- I don't want to call it a racket; I mean it's just the system- it's the way it works." "I thinks it is an exces-sive expense but I don't blame it on the UNCG bookstore. I mean that's just the way the text book racket is. I don't blame the bookstore necessari-ly," said Sexton. "I guess it would be you know the pub-lishers, I would assume. They don't have to update a text-book every couple of years just with a fe.w minor changes. That's a racket, you know, to make more money." The bookstore's rates for buying books back has left many students saying they feel cheated. "You pay a $100 for a book and then you get $15 for it. It's a rip off," said Gleason.

The five-story deck will be finished around June 2003, according to Parking Services director Kenneth Honeycutt. "Initially we will lose a few spaces." said Honeycutt. "That loss will be felt. To compensate, we've increased the size of the Park and Ride lot from 379 spaces to 750 so we can maintain that 15 minute interval [between Park and Ride shuttle arrivals)." The Park and Ride lot has been moved to the corner of Chapman and W Lee St. from its old location, but the opening has been delayed because of weather conditions. The temporary Park and Ride lot is in sec-tions B and D of the Greensboro Coliseum park-ing lot. "We got a few days of rain, and in the interim the temperature dropped below the mark at which [the con-struction crew] could pro-duce asphalt." said Honeycutt of the delay. The new deck will hopefully alleviate some of the stress on the existing decks and shorten the waiting lines for deck passes, accord-ing to Honeycutt. "It"II feel a thousand spaces better." said Honeycutt with a chuckle. "That's going to make a huge difference." Many students expressed frustration Tuesday despite the construction of the new deck.

"I know it's temporary, but it's still taking spaces from us. and we're having to fight for them." "I've been on the deck waiting list for over a year. When am I going to get called?" said Sharon Davenport, junior. "It hasn't been a good experience. If you want to park, you have to come an hour before your class starts. If you don't have an 8:00 class, you're not going to find a parking spot on campus." Many students agree that early arrival is crucial to finding parking spots. Still more said it's a veritable bat-tle for spots during the day. "There are not enough parking spaces." said Marja Franklin, junior. "If you get in late onto campus, there's nowhere to park.
