Food prices on the Appalachian
State University campus were raised approximately 5 percent from
last year due to the anticipated revenue that will be lost from
shorter academic semesters and the need to save money for the new
dining hall.
It has been four years since Appalachian Food
Services last raised its prices. Director of Food Services W. Ron
Dubberly said the university-run outfit had to raise them again
this year or risk absorbing losses.

Association senate nominations are due tomorrow, with campaigning
to begin next Tuesday.
“Right now, just through glancing at some
of the applications that have been turned back in, and listening
to people talk, I don’t think there’s going to be many,
if any at all, uncontested seats,” said Kevin Turner, rules
chair for SGA. “I think there’s a lot of interest on campus
right now.”

College is undoubtedly
a tremendous transition for most students, but for this semester’s
incoming freshmen class, that shift from high school to college
may be a little easier thanks to the availability of Freshman Learning
Communities (FLC) at Appalachian State University.
Appalachian’s learning communities program
enrolled almost 90 percent of this year’s incoming freshman
class, said Director of FLC in General Studies Joni W. Petschauer.

Appalachian Popular
Programming Society (A.P.P.S.) has been 17 years in the making,
and it looks like number 18 may take the cake.
The events scheduled for just this month alone
should leave any residence hall television off, apartment door locked,
or computer monitor cold. Dave Matthews Cover Band and their uncanny
sound will hopefully draw a good crowd as A.P.P.S. first concert
of the year, to be held Wednesday, Sept. 4 in Legends.
