Appalachian State University officials have promised heightened security measures at Saturday’s football game against East Tennessee State University in lieu of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and recent concerns involving the illegal consumption of alcohol inside Kidd Brewer Stadium.

“Due to the terrorist activities that occurred on Sept. 11, we will have security checks at Saturday’s game,” said Appalachian State University Police Chief Gunther Doerr. “We are dealing with far more serious issues here than simply alcohol violations.”

Generations X and Y were nameless ages of frivolous youth, wrought with vanity and “now” mentality. Some would call them innocent.

After all, they grew up in a decades of economic growth and prosperity, and the only war they had ever known claimed a short, sweet victory.

The unpleasantries of life and history were fed to them through a big-screen –largely entertaining- and through dry books that seemed disconnected and vague.

But the age of thoughtlessness came to an abrupt end on the morning of Sept. 11.

Appalachian State University administrators and professors were faced with something new even to them – an attack on American soil.
