The Appalachian turns 80 years old

by Joshua Farmer Editor-in-Chief

The Appalachian is proud to announce that 2014 marks the publication’s 80th year in existence. Recently, the newspaper has done its best to change how we tell news stories, to shake off any residual cobwebs of the old form, which act as reminders to our readership and potential advertisers of what seems to be ancient history. We have made leaps and bounds in pushing online and multimedia content in comparison to where we were

Man saws off hand

A Boone man entered Kerr Scott Hall Friday afternoon and sawed his right hand off with a power saw, officials said.

The man, Donald Eugene Maurice, 33, lives at the Carolina Friendship House. The house, located at 136 Oak Street, is a residence for persons with psychological and psychiatric problems and is an alternative to hospitalization.

According to ASU News Bureau spokesperson Jeni Gray, Maurice hid his severed hand in a cabinet in the building.

According to Gray, Maurice told the students, “Don’t look for it. I don’t want it back. It has the mark of the beast on it.”

“Two students saw him, administered first aid and called the rescue squad,” Gray said.

Gray added that one of the students found the hand, placed it in a bowl, and put in in a freezer to preserve it. “lt was a tattoo to my knowledge,” Watauga County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Dana Townsend said.

According to a Boone fireman, Maurice changed his mind about having his hand reattached.

just a few years ago.

Historically, The Appalachian has printed twice a week throughout the academic year with exceptions for university breaks and holidays. The tangible newspaper was our flagship product for most of the publication’s history. As we move forward to more modern means of information dissemination, we took this as an opportunity to look back with nostalgic admiration for our predecessors.

In 2013, former editor-inchief Michael Bragg helped the Center for Student Involvement

and Leadership hire a student media adviser, Allison Dyche, who came from the Savannah College of Art and Design. SCAD has an award-winning online student newspaper. Dyche had never worked with a tangible, printed student newspaper.

With this addition, early in the year, The Appalachian toyed with the idea of nixing the printed edition altogether, a move which would have saved us thousands of dollars each year.

But instead, we have kept it – so far.

There is a lot to be said for

Tray theft: Food Services attempts to reduce losses Originally published Jan. 19, 1982

by David Yount Staff Writer

Now that winter is in full swing, ASU Food Services is faced with the annual problem of having cafeteria trays stolen by students who use them as sleds. However, Director of Food Services, Ron Dubberly, and his staff may have found the solution to their problem.

After having to replace over $13,000 worth of trays ($4.25 each) last year, Food Services decided to offer plastic sleds to the students in an attempt to discourage them from stealing the trays. Apparently the idea is working because there has been a decrease in the number of trays disappearing.

Dubberly, who is pleased with the results of the sleds, said that the only way to compensate for the $13,000 was an increase in student fees. This means that all students are penalized for the actions of a few.

Of the 2,000 sleds initially purchased from K-Mart in Boone, 1,600 have already been sold. The sleds are being sold for $1.99.

They were bought for $1.98. This represents a profit of only twenty dollars by Food Services.

“That’s not even enough to cover handling the sleds.” says Dubberly.

This is the first material effort ever made to combat the problem.

Conrad Stadium renamed Brewer Originally published Aug. 30, 1988

by Jon Jimison Appalachian News Editor

ASU’s William J. Conrad stadium will be renamed for its most successful football coach ever, Kidd Brewer.

The stadium will officially change names in an opening day ceremony Saturday, September 3 before the p.m. kickoff of ASU’s opening football game against the Citadel.

While at ASU, Brewer’s teams compiled a 30-5-3 record from 1935 to 1938. ln his final season coaching, Brewer’s team went undefeated and unscored upon.

“Kidd Brewer was a consummate college athlete and a gifted coach,” Chancellor John Thomas said. “Since the 1930’s he has faithfully sup- ported our athletic program and he served six years as vice-chair of our Board of Trustees. We feel it appropriate to honor this gifted athlete and longtime friend in this manner,” Thomas added.

Brewer, a resident of Raleigh, is happy about the stadium’s name change. “l feel great about it,” said Brewer.

“Very few football stadiums have been named after the football coach,” he said.

Brewer has owned a bakery, written a syndicated column and developed property, including Crabtree Valley Mall in the Raleigh area. Brewer ran for lieutenant governor in 1956, governor in 1964 and for Court of Appeals in 1968.

The procedures for computer registration have been in the planning stages since 1969-70, when an ASU computer science class began developing a workable system in which students could exercise course options.

Since this time, the system has undergone many additions and improvements by the Computer Center staff.

Moore gets first win

Originally published Sept. 7, 1989

by Jeff Turner Sports Editor The Mountaineers kicked off a new era in football with an easy win over the Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb by a score of 43-7.

After a sluggish start the Mountaineers drove to the Bulldog 36 where the drive stalled and Jay Millson came on to kick a 47-yard field goal to give the Mountaineers a 3-0 lead. The first quarter ended with ASU clinging to this threepoint lead.

During the second quarter, ASU scored often. On their next possession,

One of the first reprinted stories at the top of page one, titled “New college library to be completed by Christmas,” was the first story on the front page of the newspaper’s inaugural edition.

ASU took over on their own 29 yard line and drove the length of the field to score on Richie Melchor’s one-yard run with 5:56 remaining in the quarter.

The Bulldogs took over on their own 31 yard line, ran one play and then fumbled the ball, which was recovered

by Pat Moore on the Gardner-Webb 42 yard line. Nine plays later the Mountaineers scored on a Melchor four-yard run and the Millson PAT was good to give ASU a 17-0 lead with 43 seconds remaining before half-time.

After the kick-off the Bulldogs ran three plays and again fumbled with Johnny Jennings recovering the fumble.

The Mountaineers took over on the Bulldog 23 yard line and D.J. Campbell quickly took advantage of the miscue with a 23-yard touchdown pass to Al Ellis, giving the Mountaineers a 24-0 lead at half-time.

Gardner-Webb received the opening kick-off and drove the length of the field on the Mountaineers, scoring on a one-yard touchdown run by Charles Barnes to cut the ASU lead to 24-7.

That was the end of the Bulldog threat. With freshman Campbell no longer nervous, the Mountaineer offense began to click. ASU took over on their own 13 yard line but eight plays later were in the end zone on a 61 yard touchdown pass from Campbell to Joe Briggs, giving the Mountaineers a 31-7

When one travels through the county today, he can readily see the “goings on” that have taken place.

White elementary teacher supply is now critical

Lower grades enrollment increasing; supply of teachers decreasing Originally published Feb. 11, 1949 The state’s public schools face a critical problem in the supply of white elementary teachers, Dr. James E. Hillman of the Department of Education reported recently, and a survey shows that North Carolina colleges and universities are expected to turn out 238 white elementary teachers this year. This is 19 fewer than were graduated in 1948 and 409 fewer than were graduated in 1941.

Although fewer persons are turning to elementary teaching, he said, the enrollment in the lower grades is high and climbing every year. A constantly increasing enrollment is expected during the next few years, as results of the high wartime birth rate are felt.

Elementary School Problem The big bottleneck in the teacher situation is in the white elementary ranks, Dr. Hillman said. The Negro picture is satisfactory for both elementary and secondary grades, and there is nothing to be alarmed about in the white school outlook, he declared. White colleges are expected to

Doctors at Watauga Hospital reattached the hand.

According to an article in The WinstonSalem Journal, local mental health officials tried to have Maurice committed to Broughton Hospital on Thursday. When doctors at Broughton evaluated Maurice, they determined he did not meet criteria for commitment.

After the evaluation, Maurice was brought back to Boone and released.

“This was just a real odd thing,” Gray said. “(Maurice) definitely wasn’t a student and if anyone had been there they would have stopped him,” she added.

explained that even though the system cannot fully be tested until actual operation, some trial runs with the computer have been made.

Meredith compared ASU’s system with the computer registrations at other universities. The students may only choose classes, not professors or time slots. However, with ASU’s system “the student is not giving up any choices as to time and instructors in developing his schedule,” Meredith stated.

He continued, “The student is really gaining from this system because it will eliminate some of his usual frustrated searching on the registration floor.”

The student can think more clearly in the quiet of his own room as he fills out the computer form than he can under the pressure on the gym floor. Meredith concluded the student’s advantage of choosing class time and instructor has not been taken away.

Meredith warned students the first danger comes in not exercising caution in filling out the fom. He stated, “The student has the option to exclude sections, take anything left, place restrictions on sections or to accept sections with exceptions.

The computer registration system is flexible. For example, Meredith noted that juniors and seniors are often interested in only one section of a course. In our present system, a department chairman is watching the sections picked up.

After several people have asked for a section that is already closed, he may decide to open a new section. But by this time the first several people have given up.

The computer will eliminate this. At the end of this summer, a demand analysis will be taken. The chairmen will then be given the opportunity to open up a new section if enough demand has been exhibited.

This will be done before the cards are processed so each student will have a chance at this newly opened section.

Meredith believes this is an extreme benefit to the chairman in distribution of his personnel and to the student who needs the course. Thus, it is extremely important that the student indicate on his card that he would be willing to accept another section if one were offered.

Meredith hopes the number of students who cannot get all the courses they need will be relatively few. However, for those who need it, regular registration will be held on the gym floor Tuesday, September 5 and Wednesday, September 6 from 8:30 a.m. until noon.

Any class sections not taken during the computer registration will be punched on a regular class card. Students needing another card should pick up a pass to go on the floor and get their cards. Meredith stated this ought not to be necessary for virtually any juniors or seniors. The computer processing will be done in the campus computer.

Right now, Meredith explained the budget is limited; however, the university hopes to add a visual scanner within the next year.

This will eliminate the need to punch cards which the computer can read.

Since there is an excess of computer time now, the university is accepting jobs such as high school work and hospital payrolls to earn extra money for the new equipment.

The computer should become a saving in the future as it begins to take on more and more work. According to Meredith, “We are really trying to save frustration to the students and those connected with

Northern Lights glow over Boone Originally published Feb. 13, 1958 Persons who had occasion to be out of the house Monday night were treated to a rare sight when the Aurora Borealis displayed her brilliant lighting over this area.

The Aurora Borealis, or more commonly referred to around here as the Northern Lights, was visible for some time in Boone, and reached its zenith sometime between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. Persons coming from Blowing Rock and other areas south reported they thought all of Boone “must be on fire.”

The “lights” ranged in color various shades of red or purple, to some green and white, which is said to be unusual. One person described the glow as a “beautiful sunset too late in the evening.”

Appalachian’s third new building, the hospital, also will be completed within the near future, Dr. Dougherty says. Work on it has been abandoned during the past 12 months due to lack of funds, but will be resumed at once, Dr. Dougherty said. When completed, the hospital will have cost $80,000 and will be a modern unit with a 35-bed capacity. It will be used both by Appalachian students and by the general public.

New bookstore opens

Senior Staff Writer Martinad also works at the bookstore.

Originally published Dec. 7, 2004 The University Bookstore opened its doors to students yesterday, three weeks after the opening of the Summit Trail Solarium.

The bookstore addition is not completely finished, Project Manager W. Kelley Ingram said Appalachian State University started the bidding process today to bring in a contractor to finish the job.

“We’re hopeful for looking at a six month project, so I’d say the end of June,” Ingram said.

When the old bookstore reopens, the new facility will add 20,000 square feet to the entire bookstore.

The bookstore opening was marked by discount prices on trade books and Appalachian State University merchandise.

Some books were on sale for $1, according to the University Bookstore web site.

“I don’t think it’s as drab as the other store was,” he said.

“I like the setup and I like how the lights shine down on it,” said Stephanie A. Johnston, a freshmen athletic training major from Winson-Salem.

“It seems a lot more organized than the other one.”

Bill Pillow, the trade book manager, said the bookstore was ordering much more materials to fill its new space.

“We more than doubled our inventory and we expanded on some sections,” Pillow said. “We want to concentrate on having a really good education and business section because I think those are really big departments on campus.”

The bookstore also expanded its graphic novels and regional books sections, Pillow said.

Pillow also said student reaction to the new bookstore has been greater than their attention to the old facility, even during Family Day. “It’s completely different,” he said.

lead. The third quarter ended with no one else scoring.

ASU took over at the end of the third quarter and continued to drive into the fourth quarter. The Mountaineers scored on a 9-yard pass from Campbell to Jeff Dudan with 11:22 remaining in the game. The PAT was good.

Both ASU and Gardner-Webb had drives stall before ASU took over the ball with 4:01 remaining in the game on their own 18 yard line. After a one yard loss, backup quarterback Mike Freeman threw an 83-yard bomb to J .K. Reaves for a touchdown. Millson missed the PAT. The game ended with the Mountaineers winning 43-7. Melchor led all ASU runners with 129 yards on 23 carries; he had 116 yards in the first half alone.

Fullback Kevin Hart was the second leading rusher with 50 yards.

Campbell went 9 for 15 for 140 yards and three touchdown passes. Jeff Dudan had three receptions to lead a balanced Mountaineer passing attack, with each of the six receivers catching at least one pass.

ASU coach Jerry Moore was en- couraged by the victory. “I was very pleased with the play of our freshmen,” said Moore, “overall I was pretty pleased.”

Freshman quarterback Campbell felt anxious at the beginning of the game. “l was nervous early, but as the game went on I began to feel more comfortable,” said Campbell. Campbell, as well as the rest of the Mountaineers, will need to feel more confident as ASU travels to Winston-Salem to face Wake Forest.

Dubberly said that the cafeteria, Cold Room, and Bavarian Inn staffs cannot act as policemen and that it would be unfair to them to ask them to perform such duties. He also explained that such action might cause poor public relations.

“We offer the sleds to the students for two reasons. One is to cut down on the loss of trays. The other reason is that the sleds are much safer than trays,” says Dubberly. He points out that with the trays there is no place to hold onto while riding whereas the sleds have a handle in front.

Roy Tugman of ASU Security says that even though no arrests have ever been made in connection with the trays, it is considered larceny and would bring a misdemeanor fine were a student caught stealing one. Tugman also said that if students will [stay in] the designated area behind Conrad Stadium and away from traffic while sledding there should be no danger.

“Basically, influenced peddling is what the term means. lt’s the ability to peddle and sell influence for political or personal gain.” Professor of Political science Richter H. Morre Jr. said.

According to Chancellor Thomas, Brewer’s past is well-known and made no difference in the decision to rename the stadium after him.

“Mr. Brewer has been a person we’ve been extremely proud of,” said Thomas, “We have no question at all about naming the stadium after him.”

“I think we looked at Kidd overall, for me it was not a source of concern,” said Athletic Director Jim Gardner.”

William J. Conrad will have the computer center in the new College of Business named after him. Conrad was treasurer of R.J. Reynolds and an ASU trustee. According to Athletic Director Jim Gardner, Conrad had little involvement in athletics on campus.

In addition to the renaming of the stadium during the opening day ceremony Bobby Cremins, Mike Ramsey, Gill Beck and Evelyn Bingham Smith will also be inducted into ASU’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

Billy Joel’s concert in Varsity proves he is the Piano Man Originally published Nov. 8, 1977

by Mark Kreuzwieser Mountain Living Editor

“Boogie!” yelled a probably drunk concertgoer. Squinting into the spotlights, Billy Joel replied, “Boogie? What does that mean? Boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie.”

About 1,500 people arrived in Varsity Gym Friday night to see piano impressario Billy Joel. The audience patiently awaited Joel and the band’s entrance, and when they did clamber up onto the stage, the crowd went wild. Joel, making boxer gestures and slamming fist in palm, made his way to his black piano and the right side of the platform. Looking up to the cieling, Joel commented that the “place looks like the Boone Bus Terminal.”

From his opening tune, “The Stranger,” to the three encores, Joel was the classical professional. He kept the audience dazed during his songs with frantic piano playing and Richie Cannata’s expertise on seven instruments. Between tunes Joel quipped and cajoled with the audience, and at one point walked around the loud speakers to teasingly take his constitutional.

Joel’s band undoubtedly is Joel’s foil. They kid each other during numbers and join in when Joel suddenly starts a rendition of an old, obscure jazz jam. Before his classic song, “The Entertainer,” Joel told the audience that the tune was about performers -- rock, pop and whatever. Sarcastically, Joel then jumped into a parody of the typical plastic Las Vegas lounge performer -- incomprehensible lyrics and all.

Mike Etu, director of student research services, said, “We’re concerned with putting on quality music,” and concerning the Joel concert, “we presented an excellent concert. He (Joel) is one of the finest performers today, a premiere performer.”

Yet many students complain about the relative obscurity of the musicians this year. Etu claims that “big-name” bands are accustomed to grossing $100,000 plus for each concert. A profit like that is unheard of in a small market area like Boone. Etu continues stressing Boone’s dilemma.

“We have to compete with the **** concert market in the state,” which draws such acts as Rod Stewart, Jethro Tull, Kansas and the Beach Boys, all appearing in North Carolina this month.

If you happen to be one of the unfortunates who missed the concert, just ask someone who did go. They will be glad to tell you about it.

Glee club begins tour Originally published March 21, 1972

The 55-voice Women’s Glee Club from Appalachian State University will appear in con­certs open to the public this week at five high schools in the northern Piedmont.

They’ll sing at 10:15 a.m. on Wednesday at Orange High in Hillsborough; at 2 p.m.

Wednesday at South Granville High in Creedmore; at 9 a.m. Thursday at Clayton High in Clay­ton; at 2 p.m. Thursday at Greene Central in Snow Hill, and at 10:30 a.m.

Friday at West Montgomery High in Troy.

Their program, according to director Joyce Tallant, will include excerpts from South Pacific, the Arcadelt arrangement of “Ava Maria,” and modern antiphonal works including the Wallingford-Riegger arrangement of “Evil Shall Not Prevail” and Randall Thompson’s “Pueri Hebraeorum.” The ensemble received a silver medal for it performances last summer in the Anglo-International Music Festival in England.

Doc and Merle Watson on stage Originally published Nov. 10, 1981

Doc Watson has often said, “I’m just as plain as an old shoe. I’ll say whatever comes into my mind.”

It is evident that Doc has a master mind and ear for beautiful music. His swift fingers create music compared to an accomplished gymnast at the Olympics. As a child Doc was introduced to music right at home from his naturally talented mother and father. His first musical instrument was hand crafted by his father and presented with instructions that he should learn to play it real well. At the age of 14, Doc received his first “store bought” guitar.

The Watson musical tradition has been carried into still another generation. Merle, Doc’s son, has taken his rightful place among the premier guitar and banjo pickers in the world and has joined his father as one of the immortals of folk and bluegrass music.

It was in 1963 that Doc first emerged into the folk music limelight at a festival on the east coast. The following year he was joined by Merle at the Berkeley Folk Festival. From coast-tocoast and around the world-Africa, Mexico, Europe, Canada, Japan-Doc and Merle have performed to sell-out audiences who always applaud for an encore.

As with all great musicians, Doc has not contented himself with merely being a performer of the traditional songs he grew up with.

He is an innovator who engages in varied tempos and hand skill exchanges on the strings.

A classic example is the time he first tried to play fiddle tunes on his guitar.

What began as a curiosity has become a trademark and source of pleasure to music lover worldwide.

With 18 albums to their credit, Doc and Merle have performed and recorded with Bill Monroe, Waylon Jennings, Chet Atkins, Don Williams, the Nitty Critty Dirt Band and numerous others. Their latest album, “Red Rocking Chair,” has just been released.

Doc, Merle, and Michael Coleman will perform a benefit concert Thursday, November 12 at 8:00 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium on the Appalachian State University campus in Boone. The concert is in conjunction with Appalachian’s 3rd annual Bluegrass Festival and is sponsored

by The Prevention Foundation of New River Mental Health, which supports prevention activities and programs in Ashe, Avery, Alleghany, Watauga, and Wilkes Counties.

The price of tickets is $5 advance and $6 at the door. Tickets may be purchased at any of the five mental health centers in the about named counties, Record and Tape Depot in Boone and Farthing Auditorium at Appalachian State University. For more information contact Farthing Auditorium 704-262-4046 or Judy South at 704-264-8759.

by Jeff Aaron The Beach Boys, who have sold more records than any other American group in history, will appear in concert on the Appalachian campus Thursday night, November 2, in Varsity Gym. The group is contracted for a two hour show beginning at 8 p.m.

The group began in 1962 under names “The Pendletones,” after the shirt jackets they then wore, and “Carl and the Passions.” The name was changed to The Beach Boys without their knowledge, by a record promotion man.

The personnel of The Beach Boys in 1972 contains the five original members plus a couple of new members. Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love, and Alan Jardine added Ricky Fataar and Blondie Chaplin, formerly of The Flame, earlier this year.

Brian Wilson no longer tours with the group, as he now concentrates on writing and producing. Bruce Johnston, of Bruce and Terry, replaced Brian on the road in 1966. Johnston left the group this year under “mutual consent.”

The “concept” album, the mode in which 70 percent of rock records are produced today, was invented by Brian Wilson and first employed in 1965. The Beach Boys were the first artists to create full albums in the rock field, and opened the way for rock album sale of high quantities, unheard of before they began their career. Their 70 million sales worldwide is second only to the Beatles.

1966 saw The Beach Boys release “Pet Sounds,” critically acclaimed in some quarters as one of the two finest recordings of the decade (the other being The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper”), which established Brian Wilson as the genius of modern music. The next year was to be the release of the historic “Smile” album project, but at the very last minute, plans were changed and Capitol Records released “Smiley Smile.”

That album included the single, “Good Vibrations,” which is the best selling Beach Boys’ single record.

Before leaving Capitol and forming their own label, called Brother Records, The Beach Boys released three more albums: “Wild Honey,” “Friends,” and”2020,” On the Brother label, they

have released “Sunflower,” “Surf’s Up,” and “Carl and the Passions— So Tough.” “Surf’s Up” was one of the most heralded albums of 1971.(It had no surfing music on the album.) In that same period, The Beach Boys began attracting big crowds at rock concerts throughout the United States.

They performed with the Grateful Dead in New York, at the May Day celebration in Washington, and in a benefit for the Berrigan Brothers.

This past summer the group demanded voter registration booths at their concert sites and they registered a quarter million new voters by August.

Also this summer The Beach Boys broke their ten year pattern of recording exclusively in Southern California and moved to Holland for a three month, $500,000 vacation and recording schedule.

The album resulting from those sessions and to be released soon will be titled “Holland.”

Tickets for The Beach Boys’ concert are available in Room 204 of the Student Center from 1 to 4:30 p.m. daily. Advance tickets for ASU students with their I.D.’s cost $3. General admission tickets are $4. All tickets at the door will be $4.

No Stuff: Smoke that cigarette...

Could Jesus have been a communist?

Originally published Sept. 22, 1981

by Grant Peeples

It has come to my attention lately that many of the students of this fine school have become participants, in a new fad called smoking. Well, I like to give all the new fads a try, so a short while ago (on a small scale, of course) I started smoking.

To my amazement I found, and still find, it a very enjoyable pastime. I have found that it has many advantages, can be made, a game, help make friends, and help me stay out of trouble.

I shall list a few of these below: 1. It costs a lot of money to smoke. I put my money in cigarettes, therefore, I do not throw it away on things that can get me into trouble.

2. A cigarette helps me to wake up in the mornings. Many of you have set your alarm clock—Clock sounded off— You turned the clock off——Stayed in bed a couple of minutes to get your eyes open——Went back to sleep—Forgot to make the eight-twenty class—Teacher gets mad—You flunk course——That’s bad. Well, if when that clock goes off—you turned it off—light a cigarette-—go back to sleep—the cigarette falls on the bed— the fires come—you wake up—-jump out of bed——put out fire—get dressed and make eight-twenty class. Do you see the advantage?

3. Cigarettes help my wind. After exercising hard—light a cigarette——makes me feel better—relaxed me——the coach sees me—doesn’t like it—makes me run a couple of miles—running helps you get in shape—If I had not been smoking, I would not have had the advantage of the coach’s special attention or the beneficial extra conditioning——would not have been honored by the sweet and complimentary things he said to me.` ` l_ [ 4. Smoking in administration building—come out of class—look around— the coast is clear—light a fag—slip around dodging teachers—get caught for violating rules—meet student council—get bad name on permanent record——no telling what else——have to take bad job—— think of fun I had the times I got away.

5. Shooting lighted cigarette stubs at targets. See crack in sidewalk—throw lighted stub at crack—miss—cigarette bounces on grass—grass catches on fire—building catches on fire—lots of excitement—more fun. Yes, sir, I think the cigarette fad is here to stay.

Students, in the future please be careful when you I smoke. Don’t smoke in the administration building. It would be terrible if by accident one of us were to cause the building to burn. I know. that all of us kid about burning the ad building or some other building, but we don’t mean it, and if by accident one of us, through carelessness, were to destroy something we would never live it down. We would be very sorry, but that wouldn’t help.

The winds around this place are anxious to catch up some spark of fire from one of our cigarettes and place it where it will do the most damage, so when we are through with a cigarette let’s pinch the fire out, then tear the paper from around the tobacco and let the waste blow, wad up the paper and throw it away.

I was raised in a Christian church, where I saw thick wallets wear the finish off of front row pews. I broke bread and drank wine in Holy Communion with a congregation that did not include a single black man, at an altar where clasped hands were clean, and calluses and blisters were absent.

The family of God with which I worshipped was white and upper middleclass: doctors, lawyers, businessmen and insurance salesmen, housewives who littered the church with expensive flowers that made my nose itch, kids that had two bicycles at home and a dollar in their pockets that their fathers had given them in the family station wagon on the way to church to put in the sterling silver collection plate.

It was all a self-serving serenade, and I saw it. And somehow, in my fragile youth, I became disgusted with it. And I was able to reject it.

I left my church because I realized its members were just trembling hypocrites

time, the child is beginning to realize that mystical relationships ultimately leave` his parents admitting that all the magic “comes from us.”

Tragically, the next phase is quite more serious. The parents’ smiling faces turn into frowning ones. They no longer proclaim that the mystical goodies ‘ come from us.” For, the child has become an adult, and he proclaims, “There must not be any God either.”

When a child grows into an atheist, agnostic, or some shade of bohemian. the parents shake their heads and wonder where they went wrong. It is time that parents be made aware of the enormity of their conditioning.

With Christmas right around the comer, it may not be too late to correct this situation. At least, parents have to start somewhere and burying the Santa Claus myth this Christmas season might be a start in the right direction. For, in addition to its connection with the American anthology, the Santa Claus myth is being used to promote a distorted form of capitalism.

Capitalism should be based on strict supply and demand. Yet, manufacturers exploit the Santa Claus myth to build up a false sense of demand. That is to say, the business establishment has catered to the idea that there exists a moral obligation to exchange expensive gifts on Christmas day. The notion that the Christmas spirit

As Christmas rolls around this year, the mythical Santa Claus will be pulled out of American folklore once again to sell everything from wetting dolls to after-shave lotion. Yet, how long will the Santa Claus myth be allowed to pervert the American mentality?

Santa Claus is a part of the great American anthology. That is to say, there exists for America a mystic relationship consisting of tooth-fairies, Easter bunnies, Santa Claus and God. Yet, this anthology threatens the spiritual makeup of America’s youth.

The syndrome goes something like this: when a child’s primary teeth begin to make way for the secondary teeth, the parents tell the child to put his primary teeth under his pillow and at night the “good fairy” will trade money for the teeth. As the child grows older (and probably catching them in the act) he is told by his parents that they were only kidding-there is no tooth—fairy, the money “comes from us.”

Later on in his life, the child finds that Easter-bunnies do not lay. eggs, or fill baskets with jelly- beans. Again, the parents smile and admit that the eggs and jelly beans “come from us.”

Then along comes the breakdown of the Santa Claus myth. By this

who feared the blackness and totality of death. I saw they weren’t interested in the teachings of Jesus, that they were only concerned with escaping the jaws of eternal nothingness, while keeping their fat pocketbooks and bellies secure in this life.

It is these same pseudo-Christians, and countless millions like them, who are today asking for a dramatic increase in the build-up of American military strength, even though some 2,000 years ago their Lord and Master taught, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. To him that strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also. From him who takes away your coat, do not withhold even your shirt.”

But the pseudo·Christians violate the teachings of their God. If they were His true followers, their arms would be open to their enemies.

They would protest the manufacturing of even a single rifle, which might protect their worldly existence or their worldly possessions.

But the pseudo·Christians hate their enemies. They have chosen their enemies to be the communists.

They hate them and fear them because they possess things the communists need, things they could use to better their lives, things Jesus has told them they should openly share. They say that the communist ideology is “anti-God,” and they herald capitalism, a philosophy which cham-

Editorial: Vote booze

Originally published April 15, 1982 For the first time in more than thirty years, the citizens of the town of Boone are going to decide whether that old demon alcohol should be allowed to return to Boone. In 1949 the citizens decided that booze wasn’t for Boone. The local historians tell us that it wasn’t because of drunken students that the citizens rejected booze; it was because of drunken locals who enjoyed tearing up the town after a few drinks.

In thirty years things have changed quite a bit. Now, Boone has more law enforcement officials per capita than any other city in the state. No one—student or 1ocal—could- get away with busting up Boone on a drunken binge. So the question is asked-—if law and order is no problem, then what reason does Boone have for not wanting ABC stores?

The answer is that there are no good reasons for not having ABC stores in Boone. The city needs the revenue (the town council is faced with the specter of raising property taxes if the ABC referendum does not pass), and ASU needs a nearby social outlet for the students, faculty, and administration. A college community is not complete until a professor can adjourn class to the local pub and resume discussion over a drink or a pitcher of beer. It is in these types of encounters that students can drop their academic facades and begin to know each other on a more social level.

For those drinking professors and students these encounters are invaluable and enjoyable experiences.Currently, the logistics of meeting in Blowing Rock for or after class become complicated, and consequently, it rarely happens. For those professors who risk taking students to the local VFW, we tip our hats in appreciation.

The powers that be in Boone have decided that this issue should be settled on May 12th when the college students aren’t in town. Absentee ballots are not being issued for this election. It is our hope that those students who remain in Boone all year, as well as faculty and administrators, will cast a vote in favor of ABC stores so that we can begin to take those final steps in rounding off some of Boone’s rough social edges and make this town truly a mountain college community.

pions the accumulation of wealth. They ignore the words of Jesus: “lt is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Ironically, if one reads the Bible—seeking in it guidance and understanding, rather than selfish, immortality—he will see in the teachings of Jesus a communistic view of the way Man should live with Man. “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise,” the Bible says. And Jesus lived this philosophy. While foxes had their dens, Jesus had not even a stone upon which to rest his head.

Jesus wanted people from all the nations to sit at a table, break bread and live _in communion with one another.

He saw that individuality divided mankind. His purpose on this earth was to consolidate the Brotherhood of Mankind through teachings which demanded selflessness, and to bring peace by promising to any man whoefollowed Him something that was far greater than anything worth fighting for on this earth.

Indeed, Jesus was a communist. And those who are sincere followers of the Marxist doctrine should take solace in His words: “Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of God.”

Letter to the editor: Streak policy Originally published March 12, 1974 Editors, The Appalachian:

Over the past weekend, a new policy notice conceming the latest form of college “violence”— streaking—was slipped under the dorm doors of many unsuspecting students. It made clear the university’s policy toward streakers.

Once again the students at Appalachian State University are being oppressed until I wonder whether I am at ASU, boot camp or whether Oral Roberts University has come to Boone. Once again the demigods have demanded that lashes be put on the poor stupid peasants to put them back into their places.

It is obvious that ASU students are not capable of moral actions. Once again the administration is treating us like animals, because they have I taken away the only human right that separates man from animal, and that is respect. Students at ASU have no respect from the administration.

Apparently we are not capable of moral actions. What moral agents would desire visitation, and what moral agents would (Oh God) streak.

Since we aren’t moral agents and get no respect, I guess we are animals. Well, I’m tired of being compared to an animal. I am sick and tired of it. Along with nearly 8,000 other students, I am capable of moral actions. I feel I can safely handle a female in my room without bothering those around me. I am capable of streaking without causing a riot. And I am damned tired of this administration trying to dictate my lifestyle.

Administration, I AM A PERSON along with nearly 8,000 other students on this campus, so treat me like one. Give me the respect I give to you, or is that so much?

Off the bench: Football future in question

by Erik Rhyne, Sports Editor Originally published Jan. 11 2007

The talks will spark up again as people speculate what is next for the Appalachian State University football team.

Will people push harder than before for Appalachian to make the move to the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision and play with the big boys? Or rather, stay in the Southern Conference and continue its reign of the Football Championship Subdivision?

ASU currently holds a 22-game winning streak against FCS opponents. The team’s last loss came in the 2005 season when Furman University defeated Appalachian 34-31 in Greenville, S.C. The Mountaineers also hold a home winning streak of 27 games, second only to the University of Southem Califomia in all of Division I. In winning their second national title, the Mountaineers become the first team since Georgia Southern University repeated as champions in 2000-01 and became only the fifth team in the FCS to ever repeat as national champions. The Mountaineers are also the first team in North Carolina to win a championship in football.

While there are valid points for making the move, there also are arguments to stay in the FCS. With recruiting, Appalachian may face struggles in luring athletes to Boone if the move is made. lf ASU remains in the FCS, there will be a better chance of bringing in stronger athletes. If you were a high school athlete, wouldn’t you rather choose a school where you have the chance to play early and win a championship? Or would you want to go to a school near the bottom of the FBS where the season will end before December?

One thing fans of the Mountaineers would have to get accustomed to if there was a move to FBS: losing.

It would be hard for anyone to have to watch their team slip to the bottom after being at the top for so long. Why not stay in a division where ASU can reign supreme over its competition and be one of the top teams in the country? I would rather be at a school where we’re known as one of the best, if not the best, teams in the country than watch the team struggle to iind wins.

Do not get me wrong, Appalachian could stick with any team in the Division I. ASU would probably walk over Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University. They would possibly be able to hang with the best teams of the FCS. While not as likely, it could happen.

A In 2005, ASU kept closer than many believed, losing 24-0 to Louisiana State University.

No matter your opinion, the debate will always be there until the day ASU does move to the FBS. Will they one day? I would say it is a strong possibility. Do I see it happening now?

Now may be their best chance. No one truly knows what will happen if they move to the FBS. Anyone would be nervous of taking that first step. I, for one, would say ASU should stay where they are.

Maybe in a few years, the words Appalachian State and dynasty will be a good lit together.

Steady guard

Wick Alford, 200-pound guard, is playing his second year for Appalachian, coming to Boone from Laurinburg, North Carolina. Wick lettered his first year out.

Caskey, Lyons and Alford team together in forming the left side of the Mountaineer forward wall. Wick is a former Wake Forest letterman and a rugged defensive lineman. Alford has shown up well this year and is living up to preseason expectations.

Coming to Appalachian from Mooresville, N.C., is big, blond Johnny Caskey, who weighs in at 180 pounds. Keeping his record clean from his high school days, when he was an all-state end. Caskey is almost a certain bet at an all-Conference end for the 1948 season. Big John has been a standout in the forward wall and one of the big reasons why Appalachian is enjoying an undefeated season. Photo by Palmer’s Photo Service.

Aroused Apps shock Western

Originally published Sept.

An inspired Appalachian football team surprised nationally ranked Western Carolina Saturday night, 17-10.

Many observers felt that Western would come out, and throw the ball with great success against what was considered a vulnerable App pass defense.

Westem was surprised by a staunch secondary that limited the Western passing attack to only 90 yards.

The Apps opened the scoring early in the first quarter. Western punted on fourth down, the App defense broke through to block the kick and downed the ball on the Western 14 yard line.

Quarterback Hall Queen hit Eddie Biggs for a gain of 12 yards to the Western 2 yard line, and David Neeld carried to the 1. From there Ned Mullen carried it in for the score, and with 10:41 left in the first quarter Appalachian held a 6-0 lead, Roger Shock’s conversion made the score 7-0 Appalachian.

After a series of punts Western took over on their own 37 yard line. From there, the Catamounts moved to the- Apps 25 yard line where a third down pass fell incomplete.

Later that quarter Shock matched the Westem field goal with one of his own, to make the score 10-3.

Western then moved from the App 30 after an unsuccessful onside kick attempt, to score in 10 plays. McIntosh carried the ball in from the 13 yard line to make the score 109, the point after was good,

and the score was 10-10 with 13:11 left in the second quarter.

There was no more scoring in the first half, as it developed into a defensive battle. The half ended with Appalachian on the Western 49 yard line.

The second half opened the same way the first one ended, with the defensive teams in control. The App defense came t through with David Chandler intercepting the pass and returning it to the App 40 yard line. The offense failed to move the ball, and the Apps had to punt.

The ball was downed on the Western 7 yard line.

Western then moved the ball to their own 19 where they fumbled. Appalachian recovered, and had a first and ten on the Western 17.

David McGlammery was stopped for a one yard gain. Then David Neeld broke through the Westem defense for the score with 7:45 left in the third quarter. Roger Shock’s point after attempt was good, and Appalachian gained the lead at 17-10. Western attempted to even the score as they drove from their own 28 yard line to Appalachian 30 where the App defense rose to the occasion and stopped the drive.

A field goal attempt was wide and to the left as the App defense held.

Appalachian could not move the ball, and had to punt. Westem took the ball at their own 24, and appeared to be headed for a score, when Eddie Bundy intercepted a pass on the App’s 2 yard line, and returned it to the 7 to stop another Western threat.

The App offense could not move the ball, and had to punt from their own

14, the ball carried only 9 yards from the line of scrimmage, and Western had the ball on the App’s 23 yard line.

Rhree plays netted only 5 yards. A 36 yard field goal was short, and to the right, and the App defense had held Western without a score again.

The Mountaineer offense began to move on their next possession moving the ball from their own 20 to the Western 33. The drive was highlighted by a 42 yard gallop by David Neeld, and a fourth and 2 situation that was converted by Neeld, A 48 yard field goal attempt was short, and to the right.

Two plays later Phil Keener intercepted a pass on the Western 32 yard line, with time running out.

With fourth down and goal to go from the 8 yard line the Apps tried a field goal.

Western broke through, and blocked the kick. Western had the ball first down and 10 to go from their own 27 yard line.

Western had to forget caution, and go for the long pass. After two incomplete passes quarterback Mote completed a pass to the Appalachian 45 year line. Mote followed with a seven yard gain, and then completed a pass to the 35 yard line for a first down.

Mote then fired a pass incomplete for second down and 10. The App defensive line broke through and dropped the quarterback for a one yard loss. Mote threw an incomplete pass to stop the clock, and with another incompletion, the Apps took over. Quarterback Hal Queen fell on the ball as the clock ran out, and clinched the App’s victory over Western.

The first round of the W.A.A. class volleyball tournament got underway Tuesday night.

In the first game of the season the sophomore team headed by Marty Herrill and Dot Floyd, were victorious by defeating the Freshman team, captain Myra Steed, by a score of 37-26. Playing outstanding ball for the Freshman team were Clarcie Mitchell, Johnsie Lowder and Myra Steed. The second game of the evening turned into a thriller before the final whistle sounded with Juniors, captain “Cee” Warlic, defeating the senior team, captain Jonnier Ruth Turner, in a close one 33-30. It is impossible to single out any outstanding players· since all members of the Junior class team played “heads-up ball.”

The second round of the tournament was played on Wednesday night with the Freshman team coming back after one defeat and pulled a close one out of the bag from the seniors 28-27.Outstanding players for the freshman team were: Ann Wall, Betty Holt and Carol Hutchins. Those who stood out in the lineup for the seniors were: Phylis Parker, Jonnie Ruth Turner and Blanch Ashby.

The mighty Junior team remained undefeated by defeating the sophomore team by a score of 4`4-28. Again, it is impossible to single out any outstanding players for the juniors as all of them played outstanding team ball.
