Skin color: Not the sole element of
diversity |
|
An
article published in the Aug. 27 issue of The Appalachian reported
freshmen minority enrollment numbers could be the highest in Appalachian
State University’s history.
While this achievement attests to the growing
effectiveness of attempts to increase diversity at Appalachian,
the increase should also be taken with a grain of salt.

For most Appalachian State University
students going back to school means new classes, new books, maybe
a new place and hopefully the meeting of new friends and the greeting
of old ones.
For the Greek community it means all of these things as well, but
above all it means Rush. Well, it used to mean Rush, now it means
scramble. Scramble to figure out how we are going to not only survive,
but persevere to come out better than ever after so many changes
have been thrust upon us.

| Sport is about the event, not just
commercials |

Technology has taken advertising at sporting
events to a level I never thought possible. At baseball games, through
the magic of computers, advertisements can be changed every inning
or after every pitch if desired. The Super Bowl is a media frenzy
that some people watch only to see the new commercials, and naming
rights to stadiums is as big a business as the concessions at the
stadium.
On Aug. 30, Augusta National Golf Club, host of the Masters Tournament,
struck a blow for everyone who enjoys sporting events for what they
are, a fun way of escaping reality.
