Students stormed Kidd Brewer Stadium following the 28-21 win over the Georgia Southern University Eagles Saturday. Fans transported the goal post through a window of the Eagles' bus to Duck Pond. The victory altered the balance of power in Southern Conference play.
   The sound heard echoing throughout Kidd Brewer Stadium was more than just the snap of a goalpost on its way to Duck Pond.
    It was also the balance of power in the Southern Conference shifting toward Appalachian State University.
    Appalachian head coach Jerry Moore, who battled pneumonia all week, said he could not feel any better about his team’s 28-21 victory over Georgia Southern or his team’s perseverance after starting the season 1-3.
    “A month ago everyone was jumping off our boat,” Moore said.
   “You could hear them splashing here, there, and everywhere. Now there are a few people crawling back on.”
    Facing their second top-10 team in two weeks, the Mountaineers began the game in a 3-5 defensive set in hopes of outsmarting and containing the Eagles’ option.

   Students and residents of Boone can rest easier when using their credit cards in area restaurants. As of June 9, 2003, the North Carolina    General Assembly ratified a bill making it illegal for restaurants to print entire credit card numbers on receipts.
   According to the North Carolina General Assembly’s Web site, the bill will be completely in place by July 1, 2005.
   With this new law in place restaurants will no longer be allowed to print more than five digits of a credit, debit or charge account number, nor will they be allowed to print the card’s expiration date.
