A plan to expand the capabilities
of Appalachian State University’s football program may involve
student fees, said Robert L. Shaffer, associate vice chancellor
for public affairs.
“Private dollars alone will not fund it,”
said Shaffer. “Student fees may come into the picture.”

Chris Hill | The Appalachian Senators voiced their concerns
about the athletic recommendation to Athletic Director Roachel
J. Laney Tuesday in the SGA senate meeting.

Many senators expressed
concern over the possibility of a student fee increase to pay for
renovations to the university’s athletic facilities proposed
at Tuesday’s Student Government Association meeting.
“I’m concerned about just taking another
fee increase to pay for this,” said Dorothy M. Andrews, an
off-campus senator. “This plan may not benefit that many students.
The university is in dire financial straits; our focus needs to
be on education, not athletics.”

junior Mindy L. Church loves her job.
For 13 hours a week, she reads aloud, sings songs
and plays pretend as one of more than 50 students employed at the
Child Development Center, located on Poplar Grove Road.
“I switched my major because of [this job],”
Church said. “I came up here to do interior design, and I liked
doing this so much I switched [my major] to child development.”
The Office of Student Development first started
the program in 1975, after demonstrations held by female students
regarding the need for childcare on campus.
