NC -.‘i^ SPEAK THE TRUTH New Student Orientation Guide UNC lends hand to students BY SETH WRIGHT STAFF WRITER It’s a month or two after the fall semester surfed. Clothes have accumulated in your hamper, a paper is due tomorrow, and the only food in your refrigerator is moldy bread. Worry not UNC provides several services to help combat the sheer horror of this situation. Much of the balance and peace of student life rests upon the UNC One Card. And there are several other ser vices that the University offers to help students avoid situations such as these. All you'll ever need Every UNC student has a One Card, which is a passport to every thing from libraries and dining halls to gyms, sporting events and other activities around campus. “(The meal plan) keeps students in a good routine,’ said Jim Clinton, director of operations for the UNC One Card Office. “It gives them the option and the availability of good nutrition, and it also provides that social aspect of eating with your classmates.' Students can choose what type of meal plan they will live by each semester either a weekly or block plan. “Get the smallest meal plan possible,’ said sophomore Lindsey Adams, who previously had a meal plan. “You do the same stuff every day, and you get sick of it’ In addition to the meal plan, the cards hold cash that can be used around campus to purchase food or school supplies. Choose from among 72 privately-owned four-bedroom condominiums, and start enjoying your own walk-in closet and private bathroom today!

The flex plan will allow stu dents to purchase food, while the expense plan can be used to do laundry, purchase vending machine snacks or huv supplies from Student Stores. Students also have the option of linking their Wachovia checking account to their One Cards. The One Card Plus can be purchased at orientation so that off-campus purchases can be made without juggling a wallet full of plastic. “One of the big advantages of that Visa check card is that if you did lose it when our office is open, you can get a replacement on the spot and have that card linked back to your account," Clinton said. A replacement One Card is $lO and can be purchased in the One Card office near Student Stores. A helping hand Academic advising is anoth er important service that helps students develop plans of study throughout their college career. Each student is assigned to an academic adviser and can meet with that adviser at any time throughout the semester. “Make sure you go to more than just one adviser," said sophomore Maddv Young, who was unsure about her major when arriving at UNC. Advisers are available either at their walk-in hours or by appoint ment, both of which are available at advising.unc.edu.

Students can go online and sign up for an appointment at unc.edu/ depts/weweb/. The center is staffed by graduate students and professors. The Learning Center is also a free service which is provided to help students focus and improve study skills, offering programs, such as academic counseling, sup plemental instruction and peer tutoring.
