 A
new parking policy put into place by the Department of Parking
and Traffic reduced parking restrictions for students.
Students can park in the Stadium Lot after 2 p.m. during
weekdays, a change to the former policy that restricted students
without a Stadium permit from parking there until after 5
p.m, Parking and Traffic Director Barry D. Sauls said.
The change came when the Department of Parking and Traffic
decided to include the Quinn Center Lot in the rest of Stadium
Lot, classifying it as an “after 5 p.m.” area
where students could park.

| ASU running back Alan Atwater rushes
for some of his record breaking 207 yards on 25
carries during Saturday’s game against the
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The Mountaineers
won the game 47-7. |
Only 8,753 fans attended Appalachian State University’s
game against the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga on
Saturday, but those who came saw a record-setting individual
performance and Appalachian’s most dominant win in
recent memory.
“We were as concerned and worried about Chattanooga
as any team we’ve played,” ASU head coach Jerry
Moore said after his team’s 47-7 blowout. “I
think this shows a lot about the heart of this team, because
there is no one in the league playing harder than UTC. I
had no idea how we would react today after the loss last
week (at Wofford College).”

The Women’s Center hosts
its fifth annual Abigail Adams Birthday Dinner tonight at
6:30 p.m.
Women’s Center advisor Suzette Patterson said the potluck
dinner, held at the Boone Baptist Church, takes place in
order to raise money for a scholarship the Women’s
Center gives every year. The $500 scholarship is presented
to a non-traditional female student with an excellent academic
record.
“A non-traditional woman is someone
who is coming to college later in life, or may be a single
mother working to get a degree,” sophomore Sara Smith
said.
