Appalachian State University reserves the right to cancel classes during inclement weather. The Chancellor exercises this right, which in his absence is transferred to the Provost. The Chanellor consults with the vice chancellors and other university personnel as necessary to determine whether or not to cancel classes due to inclement weather.

Personnel in the Office of Public Affairs and News Bureau notify local media (e.g. WASU, WATA/WZJS, Cable Channel 6) of cancellations by 6:00 a.m., if possible. Regional and state media are also notified when appropriate.

Faculty should not ask the media to make announcements concerning the cancellation of individual classes. Faculty should consult the Faculty Handbook for University policy regarding their absence from class.

SPA staff should follow the state adverse weather policy as distributed by the Office of Personnel Services.

When classes are not cancelled, students are expected to use their discretion about traveling to campus. The University does not expect anyone to travel to campus if it endangers his or her well-being.

The National Security Education Program provides grants for undergraduate and graduate study abroad in less than traditional overseas venues and for less than traditional languages. The aim of the program, which is sponsored by the Department of Defense, is to expand the base of Americans who can speak other than mainstream languages, e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Russian, etc. and who have studied the cultures of people not normally targeted by American study abroad programs. For example, study in Western Europe, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia will not receive grant support. Students must design their own study programs directly with institutions overseas. This is a national competition requiring the highest of academic acheivement and future potential. The deadline for submission of applications to Washington for the 1997-98 Academic Year is early February 1997 so applicants should not delay. Check with the office of International Programs, 2019 Raley Hall for additional details and application materials.

Department of Theatre and Dance
J.B. by Archibald MacLeish
J.B., the modern counterpart of the Biblical Job, is brought down by the deaths and violent catastrophes that seem to have no meaning. The set is a circus tent in which two clowns act out God and the devil. In the play, as in the book of Job, J.B. does not curse God and agrees along with his wife to accept the Universe and begin life over again, expecting no justice but unswerving in their devotion to God.
