Student Employment administrative officer Kathleen
Q. Graham discusses December pay checks. Students
classified as temporary employees are not affected
by the payroll changes. |
The holiday payroll schedule has minor changes this year,
but the Banner project team chose to stay with tradition
and issue December paychecks mid-month.
“The December paychecks for all permanent employees
will be paid on Dec. 19 rather than Dec. 31. We’ve
always had mid-December paychecks,” associate vice
chancellor for administration Gregory M. Lovins said.
“Work performed Dec. 16 through Jan. 15 by permanent
employees will be paid on Jan. 30, 2004,” he said.

The Watauga Animal Guardian Society
holds their annual fundraiser, “A Buck Can Change Their
Luck,” this week, Nov. 10-14.
Five stations across campus are set up to collect donations
for people who cannot afford the cost of spaying or neutering
their animals. The donation stations will be in and outside
of Plemmons Student Union, as well as the University Post
Office and Duck Pond Field.
WAGS, an Appalachian State University organization, has raised
money for spaying and neutering animals since it began three
years ago. WAGS helps provide these funds in order to help
cut down on the overpopulation of dogs and cats in the county.

North Carolina state Senator Virginia Foxx visited the College

is set to officially run for Congress in 2004.
“I’m always happy to come to Appalachian,”
she said.
The stop at Appalachian State University was not part of
any college tour, she said.
Foxx said the focus of her 2004 Congress campaign is to get
people to understand that she is: “the most experienced,
most conservative person running for this seat.”
