Our Perspective
... Welcome, charge to Chancellor
Peacock |
 The
search has ended.
After nearly six months of meetings, interviews and forums, the
Chancellor Search Committee has found Appalachian State University’s
sixth chancellor—Dr. Kenneth E. Peacock.
The search began within a month after former chancellor Francis
T. Borkowski resigned due to personal reasons last summer.
Peacock has long been a member of the Appalachian State University
family and The Appalachian welcomes him to his new role at this
university.
As Peacock takes office, a new era at Appalachian will begin.

| Be responsible for your pets, financially stable

Students who feel they are mature and financially stable enough
to bring home a new addition to the family should think again.
Pets are the exact equivalent of children. They need clothes and
accessories, food bowls, shots, check-ups and an occasional diaper
or two.
There are students who are prepared for the responsibility. Some
people are lonely and in need of a companion. Others are perfectly
qualified to take on the challenge of being a mommy or daddy.
I love animals, and I would encourage anyone to save a Fido or a
Mimi from the pound. But the feces will hit the fan when students
do not take proper care of their babies.

that, up until very recently, they did not have.
This year’s Grammy nominations accurately reflected the widespread
popularity of hip-hop – the majority of nominees were from
the category – but just a few years ago there were separate
“hip-hop” categories, which were rarely even broadcast
on the actual show.
Hip-hop musician Kurtis Blow described the beginning of hip-hop.
