| Barbara Ehrenreich signs books
following a presentation last Friday. |
Students should be angry about rising tuition
and falling services from colleges, author Barbara Ehrenreich said
Friday.
“I don’t know why [students] aren’t
enraged, why everybody isn’t on buses to Raleigh and Washington
D.C. right now to protest this. Think about the fact we’re
paying $1 million a week for the occupation of Iraq, and we can’t
afford to pay for quality higher education?” Ehrenreich said.

| Tenant rights not well known by students |

 Miles
away from mom, dad, their checkbooks and legal advice, students
become lost in a sea of leases, landlords and rent.
Students need to know their rights and responsibilities as tenants
in Boone to prevent being taken advantage of, said Karla P. Rusch,
assistant director of Student Judicial Affairs.
Rusch said the issue she advised most students on last year was
landlord-tenant problems.
“All I can do through the legal clinic is give advice and information,”
she said. “Many students have concerns regarding their rights.”
The North Carolina General Assembly’s general statutes 42-51
and 42-52 address permitted uses of a security deposit and landlord’s
obligations to a tenant.
