on Iraq in Plemmons Student Union.

Most people do not
know that 50 percent of the population of Iraq is under the age
of 12.
This is only one of many things discussed at a
forum sponsored by the Appalachian State University International
Relations Association. The topic of the forum was the impending
war with Iraq.
The third forum conducted since the 9-11 attacks,
last Thursday’s forum lasted for nearly four hours in the Blue
Ridge Ballroom of W.H. Plemmons Student Union.
Students, faculty, staff members and members of
the ROTC filled the room almost to capacity.
