Only one sound can stir
the west side of campus from a peaceful slumber at 8 a.m. on a Saturday
morning—the Appalachian State University Marching Band.
Such a sound thunders through the air as the band
practices before each football game to prepare for the halftime performance.
Rain or shine, fingers dance on keys and feet march in time to the
music. Between competition from Papa John’s pizza, hotdogs, hamburgers
and the overall social scene during halftime at Appalachian football
games, the band plays on.

The computer lab located
in Plemmons Student Union will no longer be open 24 hours a day, due
to a lack of nightly usage and diminishing funds.
The lab, located on the second floor of the union,
will now close from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.
“We have kept a head count of all the usage
in all of the computer labs throughout campus,” said Dr. Douglas
B. May, director of Academic Computing Services. “And in the
2-8 [a.m.] period, there was just not many people coming in.”

Approximately one third
of Appalachian State University’s student body has not provided
the university with accurate local addresses.
Appalachian State obtains accurate local addresses
and phone numbers should the university need to contact a student.
This information is also used for the university’s telephone
directory and online directory, said Don R. Rankins, registrar and
Student Information Systems director.
“We have the same problem every semester,”
said Rankins.
Rankins sent e-mails and personal announcements
via AppalNET to 4,793 students last Tuesday, informing them their
address information was not updated.
