Our Perspective... Freshman community awards commendable
  Appalachian State University has been working hard to make life just a little easier for a few people, and they have the awards to prove it.
   In the past year and a half, Appalachian State’s freshman programs were honored with two major awards.
   Freshman Learning Communities (FLC), Adopt-a-Freshman (AAF), Freshman Seminar and other first-year focus programs have brought accolades to Appalachian’s campus.
   These programs were installed to help create a more comfortable transition for freshmen entering the university.

    Contrary to popular belief, feminism is not a bad word. Its meaning should not be confined to “girl-power,” man hating, exclusively female, exclusively lesbian or a passing fad.
   Feminism is defined as the belief in social, economic and political equality of the sexes. In simple terms, it is the fight for equality.

   I pondered why the Board of Trustees would approve such a staggering amount of money for athletics while the rest of the university continues to suffer.
