No matter what happens during an Appalachian State University football
game next year, the goalposts will come down.
However, students will not be the ones responsible.
According to a press release sent by Assistant Director of Athletics
Mark R. Dreibelbis, goalposts will be “taken down [at the
end of the game] to prevent them from being dismantled and carried
out of the stadium.

consumption |
by Anna Oakes
Staff Writer
Katie L. Vansciver’s friend was the victim of an alcohol-related
consequence four years ago.
Vansciver, a senior health promotion major, said her friend was
drinking with her college companions when a male acquaintance slipped
a “roofie” (slang for the date rape drug rohypnol) into
her drink.
Vansciver said he later raped her friend, and she never reported
it.
The number of alcohol-related consequences like this one are increasing,
Kendal B. McDevitt said. McDevitt has been hired by Appalachian
State University as the Campus/Community Organizer for SPARC (Study
to Prevent Alcohol Related Consequences).
