Petitioners proposed a flat laundry fee for on-campus students at the Student Government Association’s annual Tuition and Fee Forum Tuesday.

Residence Hall Association President Crys L. Newman and former RHA President Thomas A. Brigman suggested a $70 flat rate, added into student fees, as an alternative to swiping an AppCard or depositing quarters into machines.

This would allow students to avoid paying for laundry during the year.

Due to state reductions in funding at Appalachian State University, students may pay an increased health service fee in 2010-11.

The Tuition and Fee Committees heard proposals Tuesday regarding a $20 increase for student’s health service fee at a tuition and fee forum at the Linville Falls Room in Plemmons Student Union. 

This increase will “affect the health fee by approximately $150,000, including salary and benefits” for two counseling positions that were re-appropriated by the university,” Financial Manager Bob K. Feid said.

Appalachian State University’s Greek community will welcome a new National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) organization to campus this month as Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., introduces a new line of members Nov. 30.

Junior elementary education major and NPHC President Tenae’ A. Howard said the addition of the Iota’s to Appalachian’s NPHC is a milestone for the Black Greek community.

“There are nine [affiliate] NPHC organizations and Appalachian State will have eight of the nine,” Howard said. “I think that’s really big for a school that’s in the mountains of North Carolina...NPHC is ready for them when they get here.”

The contractors for the new Beasley Broadcasting Complex, located across from Walker Hall, have delayed renovations and construction due to complications with the soil and flood plains.

The plan was to renovate the structure, the depot building, and add on to the back of the building.

Design and Construction Engineer and Project Manager for the Beasley Broadcasting Complex Patrick A. Beville said the crew uncovered many unknown aspects of the existing structure, such as its ability to easily flood.
