The state legislature’s
budget “will not be a very favorable budget for UNC,”
Chancellor Francis T. Borkowski said Thursday.
Borkowski said due to poor state revenues, Governor
Mike Easley’s proposed budget could see further cuts.
Currently Easley’s budget slashes Appalachian State University’s
proposed budget increases by 60.12 percent, leaving the university
with $1,080,894 in recommended increases.

The Jewish Students
of Appalachian (JSA) hosted the “Israel at Heart” forum
in the Multicultural Center last Wednesday.
The panel, which is part of a nationwide tour,
consisted of three Israeli students sharing their experiences of
living in Israel.
Fleeing to Israel
Nurit Tezazu was the first to share her experiences.
At the age of 18, Tezazu chose to take on volunteer work over joining
the military. All Israelis, when they turn 18, are required by the
government to choose one or the other.
