Our Perspective ... NOW picked the wrong time to protest

   Appalachian State University held its annual Walk for Awareness Sept. 3. The Walk for Awareness was started in 1990 to honor the memory of staff member Jeni Gray who was raped and murdered by a man in Boone and to honor Appalachian student Leigh Cooper Wallace who was raped by the same man.
   The Walk for Awareness activities now not only includes the silent, commemorative walk through the Appalachian campus and downtown Boone, but messages concerning sexual assault and safety.

Does tragdey proliferate caring or media frenzy?

   Last week, as the staff of The Appalachian was busy putting together the Sept. 10 issue, a question for opinion writers glared down from the bulletin board: “Was 9-11 really ‘the end of the age of innocence?’”

Construction protocol needs a reassessment

   Another year back at Appalachian State University means the beautiful sites and sounds of Boone and the High Country.
   The sites and sounds of the campus though, are another story.
