After 25 years of
use, Appalachian State University will lose its lease on the Appalachian
House as of Nov. 30.
Since its acquisition, the Appalachian House,
or AppHouse, located at 22 Third St. in Washington, D.C., has been
used by Appalachian faculty, staff and students who are attending
conferences, academic meetings or conducting research in the Washington,
D.C. area.
The AppHouse is one of two distance-learning spaces
available to Appalachian students and faculty, the other being a
loft in midtown New York.

Registering for classes
has forever changed at Appalachian State University. The days of
printed schedules and post office box announcements are over, and
a newly enhanced AppalNET registration and information service has
begun.
On account of the budget crisis and the university’s
desire to remove all printed materials from its waste stream, AppalNET
has been enhanced to handle all student services in a timely and
comprehensive manner, Registrar and Director of Student Information
Systems Don R. Rankins said Friday.

according to a student opinion questionnaire conducted by The Appalachian.
The questionaire asked 91 randomly chosen students
if they knew who their SGA representatives were and also asked them
to rate their knowledge and opinion of SGA on a scale of one to
five.
