| Budget cuts squeeze Appalachian
campus |
by David Forbes
Senior Staff Writer |
 Faced
with a fifth straight year of budget cuts, Appalachian State University
is trying to cope by eliminating vacant positions, Vice Chancellor
for Business Affairs Jane P. Helm said.
The North Carolina General Assembly budget reduced
Appalachian’s funds by 3.15 percent permanently, on top of
another 0.75 percent temporary cut, according to information from
the office of Business Affairs.
“This means that we’ve been continued
to be cut over a period of years,” Helm said. “A one year
cut, that doesn’t really bring us to our knees, but when it’s
year after year that we have both permanent and temporary cuts,
there’s a problem.”

| MTV: no god but greed |
 So,
MTV is coming to campus again. Wonderful.
By this point there has been more than one commentary
by our ever-capable music critic on exactly what’s wrong with
MTV culturally and musically, and you’ve heard from the paper
as a whole on what we think of MTV moving in on another campus event.
Those points have been made before; the question
I’m concerned with is this- why is Appalachian, a public university
whose stated purpose is academics, so concerned with looking good
for MTV, a private corporation whose only purpose is the almighty
dollar?
