The fire gutted the building, leaving it uninhabitable for the fall semester. SIUE police officers reported Cougar Village apartment 529 on mmrnt fire at approximately midnight Monday, according to SIU E Police. Officer Dan Murphy first witnessed the fire at 12:05 a.m. He was patrolling Cougar Village as part o f a police emergency plan used when the power is knocked out. Edwardsville Fire Department Lt. Robert Morgan said when the department arrived to the scene their main goal was to prevent the flames from spreading to adjacent apartments. “When we arrived the entire roof was completely on fire,” Morgan said. “Our first priority was protecting the surrounding buildings.” Morgan said the fire department stayed on scene for four hours, although the fire had been contained within the first hour and a half. The department was unable to enter the building until the fire was out. Morgan said die building’s roof had been burned off, and the second floor apartments received fire damage.

WELCOME Welcome back, Clabaugh from pg. 1 Former senator comes back to fill hole in SIUE Student Government by Rosie Githinji Alestle Reporter

Student Government met Aug. 7 for its final meeting o f the summer. Student Body President Brandon Rahn made two presidential appointments, one o f which filled the Student Government roster. His nominations included Stephanie Medhurst for Tuition and Fees Chair and Mary Clabaugh to fill the open Senate position. “It’s nice to have an old face on the Senate once again,” Rahn said. “I thought she would be a great asset once again this year.” Clabaugh applied for a Senate seat earlier in the summer. She told the Senate she did not run for re- election in the spring because of student teaching. She did not know what her schedule was going to look like, but is now able to make the commitment to Student Government. “I don’t want to take on a position I can’t commit to first,” Clabaugh said. Because she has served on the Senate previously, Clabaugh can mentor the new senators and help with committee work as well, according to Rahn. Internal Affairs Officer Sarah Bailey made personnel appointments for the Textbook Service Advisory Committee. She asked the Senate to approve Hannah Marks for a one-year term and Brandon Rahn for a two-year term on the committee.

TEXTBOOKS from pg. 1

for the new semester, operations at Textbook Services have been running smoothly. “We are very fortunate,” Colton said. “The computers are running better than ever, and everything has been going smooth since Campus Activilies Boart we started issuing books this past Monday. It’s been busy and steady.” Unlike a majority o f schools in the state, SIU E’s rental program tacks a fee onto student accounts based on credit hours, allowing students to use all o f the text relevant to a course, as oudined by the professor. The cost o f renting is about 10 to 20 percent the price of buying the same books. According to the Used Textbook Association, a four-year college student typically pays $850 for a year o f textbooks, while 15 credit hours o f rental text runs $166.50 at SIUE. Colton said the main questions students ask when picking up their books deal with the amount o f books they receive. This is because Textbook $ervices issues books solely based on curriculum. “When students return their books they sometimes ask why they had to rent a book they never used,” Colton said. “In some cases, the faculty doesn’t assign any work out o f the book, and students feel we are wasting their time and labor. If you pay a fee for the service you might as well use it.” THf IW W r WWW9 # Senior psychology major Jared Benjamin o f Carlinville said the service is beneficial to students because o f its low cost and low risk mentality, as opposed to buying books. * r “It’s helpful. You don’t have to look around online looking for a 1 L* specific book, so that aspect o f it is great,” Benjamin said. “They are also guaranteed to have the exact book you need for your class. So it’s pretty convenient.” Colton said the building is fully stocked, and each student enrolled in a particular class is guaranteed a copy o f the required text, Thursday, August 27 which is why the fee is assessed to every student at the university instead o f giving an optional approach to the service. 7*: 00 PM “We have to predict for full enrollment when buying books, so that is why every student enrolled has to pay a fee,” Colton said. “We MUC Meridian Ballroom have no way o f knowing whether or not students use the books, so it’s kind o f like paying your taxes. Some students get more out o f it than others.” Renting does have its advantages from the outside as well, according to Don Myers, supervisor for the Student Union Bookstore at Western Illinois University. “I don’t know if there is any advantage to buying books,” Myers said. “It is like comparing apples to oranges, and with a rental system you can control things more. (The rental system) is not here because it is too cosdy for us to venture into at this time.” Come help us to be Textbook rental services do have a large start up cost, which the Used Textbook Association estimates to be about $4 million for a university the size o f $IUE.

A late goal had the SIU E women’s soccer team on the cusp o f victory Sunday, but in the blink o f an eye they were staring at overtime and a draw in exhibition action against Western Illinois University. Freshman midfielder Kristen Dierker headed in the potential game-winner and her first goal as a Cougar on a ball placed by junior forward Kiara Akpore with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left to play in what was a scoreless second half, giving the Cougars a 2-1 advantage. “I saw the ball coming from Kiara, and I read the play and knew I had to step up and put it in the back o f the net while it was still in the air,” Dierker said. The tally would not stand, however, and while Dierker’s teammates were still congratulating her on the
