| Our Perspective ...Off-campus students must
fight for rights |
 With
a housing shortage in Boone these days, more students are living
off-campus, and as they move, they have to face leases, landlords,
apartments and rent.
According to information released at the June
6 Board of Trustees meeting, more than 60 percent of the student
body now lives off campus. That makes the above matters more important
to Appalachian students than ever.

| Glued to MTV during youth, hyped in profile |
 I’m
going to be honest: MTV scares the hell out of me. I remember in
my youth being glued to that infernal station, watching people have
super-special spring breaks with performances by Coolio or whoever
else was trying to push out a few more units of their debut (and
usually only) album.
In retrospect, I am ashamed that an Orwellian
Big Brother like MTV swayed me. While I was suckered into buying
the latest Offspring album, I missed out on some of the best up
and coming hardcore and punk acts around. Never again will I see
Fugazi for five dollars in a high school gym…I was too busy
watching “Say What? Karaoke.”

| Looking back at unrealistic, cheesy sitcoms |
 I
long for the days when Zack Morris graced my television set.
The art of cheesy and unrealistic sitcom television has been rapidly
declining, and that is not a good thing. Television sitcoms have
been replaced by serious primetime adult dramas.
Here’s a blast from the past, a look back at the top three
cheesy yet wonderful sitcoms of my lifetime, with a couple of honorable
mentions as well.
