Linda Moore, director of Career Services, said the job placement rate for Eastern gradu- ates had fallen to 88 percent last year, some- what lower than the university’s typical rate of 94 to 96 percent.

He has also been communicating with other constituents to run the idea past them. Any system that offers a greater variety of classes during the summer is an improvement over the current system. Some students take summer sessions to finish up their degrees and need as wide a selection as possible to do so. Offering more classes will also make summer school enticing to more students. The greater the number of classes offered, obviously, the more students will enroll. A greater variety of classes, similarly, will appeal to a wider variety of students. Lord’s idea would also replace the full-color brochure of summer classes with a fully elec- tronic system.

New pay version NON SEQUITUR BY WILEY MILLER of Napster debuts LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nearly a year after the Napster brand was rescued from the ashes of the ruined file-swap- ping service, a revamped online music store bearing the familiar name debuted Thursday in limited release. A test version of Napster 2.0 launched with more than a half-million songs from all the major music labels and with individual song and album downloads as well as a subscrip- tion service. It will be available to the general public Oct. 29, officials said. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Roxio Inc., which owns the Napster name, shelved its former online music service, BOONDOCKS BY AARON MCGRUDER pressplay, and starting moving subscribers to Napster. Pressplay, which went off-line Tuesday, offered access to songs only for a monthly fee. Napster 2.0 users will see prices in line with what other services charge, which is about $1 per song and about $10 for full albums or monthly subscription. The service allows users to copy, or “burn,” single songs onto CDs an unlimited number of times, but, like other serv- ices, users can’t burn more than five CDs with the same playlist. “Our company’s passion for what we’re doing will really be felt by consumers and I think it’s also very consistent with the original vision for Napster,” said Chris Gorog, Roxio’s chairman and chief executive. 10A THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS Friday, October 10, 2003 WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL A weekend of rematches for the Panthers Eastern to play Austin ance from Erica and (middle hit- hopefully that will carry over to Peay, Tennessee Tech for ter) Shanna Ruxer.” the games.” For the Panthers to head out of Blair believes both teams the second time Clarksville with a victory, they match up rather evenly, and he will have to slow the Governors hopes the Golden Eagles will be By Michael Gilbert outside hitter Sarah Schramka able to end a three-match losing SPORTS REPORTER and middle hitter Amy Walk. streak this weekend.

While you spend some time together this weekend we would like to give you some great news regarding College drinking. The widespread impression that the norm for today’s young people is heavy alcohol consumption simply isnt true. By arming students with the truth about responsible and moderate consumption of alcohol by their peers, heavy drinking has drastically declined over the last ten years, especially among freshmen. While each university’s statistics are different, the message is similar: the majori- ty of students drink moderately or abstain. Here’s some interesting statistics from the Illinois Secretary of State and Illinois Department of Transportation: •91% of college students don’t drive after having 5 or more drinks ¥More than 60% of college students report never drinking and driving during the previous year ¥The majority of college students do not participate in heavy alcohol consumption (5 or more drinks per occasion)

These statistics by no way mean it’s time to stop working to reduce heavy drinking on college com- puses-it encourages us to work even harder to help create a healthier, safer campus culture. So enjoy the weekend and remember that the behavior of most college students is far from the images we see in the movies. Best of Luck to all students and using a quote from Pete Coors, “21 means 21!! We’ll wait for your business.”
