Student Body President Ryan
M. Eller kicked back to the senate an amendment to the Student
Government Association Constitution concerning student petitions
last Tuesday.
Eller, while not vetoing the amendment, said

to vote on the amendment by the original dates. Eller said there

Solarium construction
slow downs have placed University Bookstore construction three months
behind schedule, Director of Design and Construction Dr. Clyde D.
Robbins said last Thursday.
“The contractor didn’t start when they

Crossley Construction of Knoxville, Tenn., is

Southern
tradition claims “women should be seen and not heard,”
but dedicated female leaders, such as Appalachian State University
professor Dr. Glenda J. Treadaway, strive on a daily basis to shatter
such stereotypes.
Treadaway is the current president of Pi Kappa
Delta, a national debate honorary and past president of the Cross-Examination
Debate Association (CEDA), the largest debate association in the
world. Treadaway has worked to expand the world of debate to include
the underrepresented population of women debaters.
