Our Perspective
... Tuition, fee increases to be determined now
|
 In
an era of University of North Carolina system-wide budget
cuts and tuition hikes, it is more important than ever for
the students, faculty and staff at Appalachian State University
to take a stand and keep education affordable.
The General Assembly cut the UNC system budget around 4 percent
last summer, tallying the cuts to nearly $350 million in
cuts over the last four years.

This time fall break
could not come soon enough. The semester is flying by, as
it always does, and the thought of getting “normal
sleep” and home cooked food was I am sure on everyone’s
minds. Well, at least for those who went home over the break.
However, by senior year, things have started to change a
little bit when you go home.
When you go home freshman year, it really seems that not
that much has changed.

| Your career should be something you enjoy |
Careers are one of the most important decisions we will all
make in our lives. Students spend the majority their lives
going to school preparing for professional careers.
It’s why we are all here at Appalachian State University
in the first place.
Yet, lately I have noticed a problem.
Students are choosing careers not based on what they want
to do, but rather on what outside influences are telling
them they should do.

| Political parties influencing private companies
|
 Republicans
everywhere are rejoicing. Howard Dean has stuck his foot
in his mouth again, the partial-birth abortion bill has been
signed into law and CBS will not show their miniseries "The
Reagans."
"The Reagans," for those of you who do not know,
was the feather in CBS’s cap. Their big sweeps month
stunt, a four hour movie about the life of former President
Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy. However, conservative groups
got a hold of a script and have gone to town ever since.
