All nuree practitioners are faculty members of the College of Nursing. More advanced graduate and undergraduate students will develop their skills at the site to prepare to be nurse practitioners. "It will be a good model for students to see their faculty practicing healthcare," Nursing dean Mary Ann Parsons said. The center, opening with the slogan "A Different Kind of Care," is a nurse managed primary care facility devoted to the health care needs of women. It is unique because it offers comprehensive care for women. "We offer primary care from the common cold to traditional women's services," Parsons said. .Halls wan away fron ?

"How would you feel if they put a meter in front of ha< your house and you had to wake up at jje eight o'clock every morning to feed it?" ^ First, Columbia Hall and Capstone are petitioning to have the meters fjfl removed. Columbia Hall has almost 400 ^ signatures, the majority of the hall. nev Capstone has about the same majority. ngl With these signatures, Dunham and j ? Emily Rivers will speak to Bill Baker, ejg] ^ the Director of Parking Services, to see ^ ? how possible it will be to have the meters removed.

( If they don't agree to take the meters ^ out, and we boycott, they'll be losing money either way," Columbia Hall ^ resident and car owner Krishna Misurello ^ said. "What do we have decals for ^ anyway?" "It's expensive and inconvenient for sen the students of the two residence halls," out Dunham said.

Adam Isgitt, Capstone Area Resident, 3 a different opinion on the matter, feels that the meters are good for the :a and should not be removed.

Brewer attributed the deficit to not meeting advertising goals. He said if the situation does not improve by the end of a November other alternatives would be ^ m considered.
