were certain issues he hoped the candidates would address.

The Appalachian Student Ambassadors invite students to join
in their efforts to promote the highlights of Appalachian State
University.
The Ambassadors kicked off the semester last week with their
spring membership drive. The drive will run through Friday.
“[The Ambassadors] are a special group and we
value their role as representatives to the student body, to
prospective students and families, and to the friends of the
University,” Patrick K. Setzer, advisor to the Ambassadors
said.
Appalachian Ambassadors is a group funded by Appalachian State
University through the Club Council. The members work directly
with the Alumni Association, University Admissions and the Office
of the Chancellor year round coordinating and hosting various
events and activities.
“As Ambassadors we show
how much we love our university and are committed to making
this place better,” Ambassador Priscilla C. Meek said.

Toyota Tacoma teeters on the edge of a
ledge at "the firetower" close
to Howard's Knob Sunday night. Witnesses
said the driver of the truck sped up the
snow-covered dirt road, and alcohol may
have been a factor. Hampton's Body Shop
was called to pull the truck from its perch.
