Appalachian State University has entered the
process of designing a new AppCard stock to replace all exiting
cards which direct the caller to a pornographic phone line.
The phone line, which advertises “x-rated
action everyone can afford,” was actually a customer service
line for students who chose to use the MCI long-distance plan included
with the card.

Forums stir negative reactions from SGA
Lack of publicity, nature of search
angers senators |

| Peter Larkins | The Appalachian |
| Newland Residence Hall senator Hunter Palmer
said he has his disagreements about the way the search committee
conducts the search, which he said lacks student opinion and
involvement. |
Senate reactions were mixed Tuesday night after
Student Government Association (SGA) president Rachel A. Johnson
presented non-confidential information about the Chancellor Search
Committee to the senate.
Off-campus senator Justin W. Moore said the confidential
nature of the search is “disgusting.” Moore said he is
angered that no one outside the search committee may know who has
applied for the chancellor position.
“The fact that the search committee is preventing
99.9 percent of students, faculty and staff from even knowing the
names of those seeking [the university’s] top job is outrageous,”
he said.

Appalachian State
University will soon have a residence in Washington, D.C. again,
as a contract has been ratified for a new Appalachian House.
“This means that the owners have accepted
our last offer,” said Jane P. Helm, vice chancellor for business
affairs. “We made an earlier offer and they refused, so we
made another offer at the asking price. We’ve had an inspection
done, we have to get permits for the legal means to use this house,
it’s basically the normal closing process.”
