Our Perspective
... Tuition carte blanche threatens UNC system
|
 North
Carolina may not have tollbooths on its roads, but its classrooms
soon may.
The dangerous trend of campus-based tuition hikes threatens
the affordability of higher education at Appalachian State
University and all 15 other sister institutions in the University
of North Carolina system.
Campus-based tuition increases at Appalachian State already
tally up to $350, and if the newest proposal is approved
students will pay $600 more over the next two years.

Have an embarrassing
question you need some help with? Is the advice you
receive from friends not as valuable as advice from
a stranger? Is there an issue so pressing, you just
cannot sleep at night without further knowledge on
the subject? This could be your last chance for solid
advice.

Q. I think
my boyfriend might be gay. He does girly things, and he loves
to go shopping. Some people may not see it, but I feel like
he’s hiding this from me. Should I confront him?
- Less
Feminine Than Him

Many people don’t know it, but The Appalachian has
a new multicultural writer. If they do, just one glance at
my picture will probably make them roll their eyes and think,
“What would she know?”
Well, before you close this paper, thinking that this is
just another lame “white column” on “why
can’t we all just love each other,” please wait
and give me a chance. Many don’t know my background,
what I’ve been through and what I’ve experienced.

| AppCard ID theft: Some ideas for prevention |
 The
other day I decided to go to TCBY on campus. It had been
a long day and I felt I deserved a treat. I picked my favorite
(white chocolate mousse) and gave the lady a card.
Looking closely at the card she said, “Who is this?”
“My boyfriend,” I replied.
The lady shrugged her shoulders and swiped the card, and
off I went with the ice cream.
That situation got me thinking, though. If I can get away
with using his card, even though I had permission, there
must be people that use other people’s cards everyday
without permission. And there are. I used to let all sorts
of people use my card, and no one was ever questioned.
