THE UNIVERSITY
LOCATION
Appalachian State University is a part of the system of public higher educa-
tion of the State of North Carolina. It is located at Boone, county seat of
Watauga County, North Carolina, on the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains at an
elevation of 3,333 feet above sea level, the highest elevation of any four year
college east of the Mississippi River. Situated in an area of great natural beauty,
near the Blue Ridge Parkway which connects the Shenandoah and the Smokey
Mountain National Parks, Boone is easily accessible over United States Highways
221, 321, and 421, which intersect in and lead out from the town.
PURPOSE
Within the framework established by the North Carolina State Board of
Higher Education, Appalachian State University is dedicated to the total
development of its constituency through instruction, research, and service.
In pursuit of this purpose, Appalachian pledges itself:
To nurture an intelligent climate in which truth is sought and respected.
To provide a liberal education for all its students.
To offer, within the scope of its programs, pre-professional and professional
education to those students who desire it.
To maintain a faculty dedicated to teaching and scholarship.
To advance the frontiers of knowledge through research.
To be cognizant of new knowledge and prepared to meet the challenge of
new ideas.
To expand cultural horizons and develop appreciation of ethical and aesthetic
values.
To make its resources available to the people within its sphere of influence.
To serve as a force for social improvement.
To cooperate with all institutions and agencies which are dedicated to the
betterment of mankind.
HISTORY
Appalachian's antecedent, Watauga Academy, was created by its founders, B.
B. and D. D. Dougherty, to bring educational opportunity to the people of
North Carolina. Appalachian Training School, created by the General Assembly
of 1903, was conceived and founded to prepare teachers for an expanding public
school system, and especially to prepare better teachers for the public schools of
the isolated section of the northwestern part of the state. Within a little more
than twenty years Appalachian Training School became Appalachian State
Normal School and began its involvement in the total complex program of
public education.
As the functions of the public schools changed, with the emergence of new
technologies, and with the rising predominance of industry over agriculture,
public school education became more diversified in North Carolina. To help
meet the demand for new and different kinds of teachers for the region, Appala-
chian evolved from Normal school to Teachers College. The change took place
officially in 1929, and the institution began to expand its sphere of influence
into the more populous Piedmont section of the state. During the early 1940's,
graduate education for teachers was added to the program, and in 1965, Appala-
chian was authorized to begin the development of the Sixth-year Program for
school administrators. At the same time the institution abandoned its long-held
single -purpose concept and developed programs leading to degrees for those not
wishing to prepare for teaching.
The 1967 General Assembly of North Carolina changed the status of Appala-
chian and designated it Appalachian State University. This change brought with
it additional responsibility. The General Assembly charged Appalachian not only
with the responsibility for the preparation of public school personnel and of
offering instruction in the liberal arts and sciences including the preparation for
the master's degree, but also with a responsibility for programs of research, with
the responsibility for service to the people within its sphere of influence, and
with the responsibility for such other programs as are deemed necessary to meet
the needs of its constituency and of the state.
Appalachian welcomes these additional responsibilities and pledges itself to
discharge them with vigor.
CAMPUS
The central campus of Appalachian State University covers sixty acres of the
Blue Ridge Mountains. In addition, the university owns 330 acres of land, not
immediately adjacent to the central campus, which is being considered for ex-
pansion of its services. Almost all of the buildings on the central campus are new
or have been recently renovated. These modern facilities set against the back-
drop of Rich Mountain and Howard's Knob give Appalachian a physical plant of
superior utility and beauty.
10
ORGANIZATION
The functional organization of the university comprises four administrative
divisions under the general direction of the President and the faculty. The divi-
sions of Business Affairs and Public Affairs support and facilitate operations of
the other divisions. The division of Student Affairs includes the Office of the
Dean of Student Affairs, the Offices of the Deans of Men and Women, the Office
of Admission, the Office of student Financial Aid, the Student Housing Office,
the Office of Placement Services, and the University Health Services.
For purposes of instruction, the division of Academic Affairs is made up of
the General College, the College of Business, the College of Arts and Sciences,
the College of Education, the College of Fine and Applied Arts, and the Grad-
uate School. It also includes the Summer Session, the Library, the Extension
Division, the Office of the Registrar, and certain auxiliary agencies such as the
Computer Center and the Audiovisual Center which contribute to the instruc-
tional and research programs administered by the division of Academic Affairs.

ADMISSIONS
Appalachian State University recognizes its responsibility to render every
service possible toward the advancement of education. Some people find it
inconvenient or impossible to enter at the beginning of the academic year. In an
attempt to be of greater service, Appalachian admits students at the beginning of
the fall, winter, spring, summer quarter, or either session of summer school.
Early application is advisable for any student since these applications are con-
sidered first.
The university admits applicants whose preparation, ability, interest char-
acter, and general fitness indicate that they can do successful work. Applicants
must submit their social security number and, if applicable, their selective service
number and number and address of their local draft board.
Out-of-state applicants must meet the same admissions criteria as required of
North Carolina residents.
All unmarried freshmen, except for bona fide residents of Boone and vicinity,
are required to live in university residence halls. Since space is limited, this is a
factor which must be considered in freshman admissions.
All correspondence concerning admissions to the university should be
addressed to the Director of Admissions, Appalachian State University, Boone,
North Carolina, 28607.
FRESHMAN STUDENTS
Applicants will be considered for admission to the freshman class upon meet-
ing the requirements specified below. The phrase "will be considered" means
that beginning with the 1971-1972 freshman class, the university intends to
institute an early or selective admissions procedure. In effect, those students
who have demonstrated the greatest probability of success will be given priority
in the selection of the freshman class. (Please consult your secondary school
Guidance Counselor concerning acceptance dates.)
Our requirements are as follows:
1 . Graduation from an accredited high school and rank in the upper seventy-five
per cent of their graduating class. If the applicant is not a high school grad-
uate, a high school Equivalency Certificate is required.
2. Satisfactory recommendation by the high school principal and/or guidance
counselor.
13
3. Presentation of at least two units of high school mathematics (2 units of
algebra or 1 unit each of algebra and geometry).
4. Satisfactory scores on the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic
Aptitude Test.
This test is required of every applicant for freshman admission and is given in
November, December, January, March, May, and July. End-of-junior year (in
high school) scores are used to determine eligibility for freshman admission
when reported with early applications. It is recommended that the test be
taken at the end of the junior year of high school and repeated early in the
senior year of high school.
A student wishing to take this test should procure an application form from
his secondary school or should write directly to the College Entrance Exam-
ination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey, for the Bulletin of Informa-
tion, which includes an application form and is available without charge. The
Bulletin lists test centers and gives complete information concerning tests.
The student must make his own arrangements well in advance of a selected
testing date so that his application is received in Princeton before the deadline
for filing applications.
5. A satisfactory health record. The complete medical history of each applicant
must be submitted on the medical form supplied by the Admissions Office
after approval has been given.
NOTE: Prospective students who have attended an accredited college but who
have earned less than 45 quarter hours of credit, must meet both fresh-
man and transfer admission requirements. This means that in addition to
following procedures for freshmen they must present a transcript show-
ing an overall "C" average on all college course work attempted. In
addition, such applicants must be eligible to return to the institution last
attended.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
1. Students seeking to transfer from other colleges or universities must
furnish official transcripts of records from all institutions attended.
These transcripts must show eligibility to return to the institution last
attended and an overall 2.00 or "C" average on all course work
attempted. Courses satisfactorily completed in other accredited institu-
tions are evaluated in terms of the curriculum selected at Appalachian.
2. Junior college graduates must meet the scholastic requirement as listed
above.
3. Transfer applicants must meet the same proficiency tests in reading,
14
speech, and written English as required of regular sophomores at Appala-
chian.
4. Transfer applicants must submit a satisfactory health record. The com-
plete medical history of each applicant must be submitted on the medical
form supplied by the Admissions Office after approval has been given.
NOTE: Prospective transfer students with less than sophomore standing (45
quarter hours of earned credit), must meet all entrance requirements for
freshmen, including satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.
This is in addition to meeting all transfer admission requirements.
PROSPECTIVE TRANSFER STUDENTS SHOULD REFER TO
APPENDIX A OF THIS BULLETIN FOR GENERAL EDUCATION
(FIRST TWO YEARS) REQUIREMENTS AT APPALACHIAN.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
1. Applicants who are mature and who may not meet admission requirements
but who have a satisfactory record of experience and education may be
admitted to courses which they may be able to pursue with profit.
2. Such applicants may be required to present evidence of having earned a
college degree or evidence of the need for specific courses. Applicants who
are regularly enrolled students at other institutions may be admitted as
"visiting" students provided the appropriate official at their institution
authorizes their attendance at Appalachian, approves the course work
selected, indicates the individual is in good standing at that institution, and
otherwise approves the transfer >f credits taken at Appalachian back to that
institution for degree purposes. At the end of one quarter's work visiting
students must transfer to Appalachian or withdraw from the university.
3. Special students who desire to become candidates for a degree from Appala-
chian must satisfy appropriate admission requirements.
GRADUATE STUDENTS
For admission and graduation requirements, write Dean of the Graduate
School.
ADMISSION OF AUDITORS
1. Students enrolled at the university or students admitted with satisfactory
records of experience and education may enroll for specific courses as
auditors with the consent of the Dean of Student Affairs and the instructor
concerned.
2. Students who audit courses must register in the Registrar's Office, must be
regular in attendance, but will not receive grades or credit.
PROCEDURE
Students who wish to be considered for admission to the university as fresh-
men will obtain from the office of the Director of Admissions an application
packet, consisting of an application form, high school principal's transcript and
recommendation form, and instructions for completing and submitting these
forms.
All application forms are to be accompanied by an application fee of ten
dollars which is not refundable.
Applicants should request the Education Testing Service to send results of the
Scholastic Aptitude Test to the Director of Admissions.
Students who desire to transfer to Appalachian from another college or uni-
versity will obtain from the office of the Director of Admissions an application
packet consisting of an application form, dean of men or dean of women rec-
ommendation form, and instructions for completing and submitting these forms.
After all papers have been filed and evaluated, a statement of eligibility for
admission or a statement of shortages to be removed before admission can be
approved will be sent to the applicant.
Instructions for reserving dormitory space will be included in the letter of
approval sent to each qualified applicant.
Prior to the date of registration, information such as room assignment,
opening date, and orientation program will be sent to the students from the
Dean of the General College.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM
Appalachian participates in the Advanced Placement Program of the College
Entrance Examination Board. Freshmen who have demonstrated their achieve-
ment on specific College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement
Tests may have the results submitted to the university for consideration with
regard to placement in advanced courses and for college credit. Taking these
tests is optional on the part of the freshman applicant. Freshmen may also
qualify for advanced placement and credit by being invited (selection is by the
Director of Admissions) to take departmental tests in their areas of extensive
specialization during freshman orientation. Based upon these test results, the
amount and nature of the credit granted is determined by the Committee on
Academic Policies and Procedures and the pertinent department of instruction.
INFORMATION FOR VETERANS
The university is approved for providing training under Public Laws 358, G. I.
Bill effective June 1966; Public Law 634, the children of deceased or disabled
16
veterans; and Public Law 894, for disabled veterans. APPROVAL FROM THE
VETERANS ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE RECEIVED BY THE STU-
DENT BEFORE ENTERING SCHOOL.
Student may contact the Veterans Administration Regional Office, 301
North Main Street, Winston-Salem, North Carolina for information and
necessary forms.
Children of disabled or deceased veterans may receive assistance in payment
of tuition, room, meals and other university feed. For information regarding
eligibility and application forms students should write to the North Carolina
Veterans Commission, Raleigh, North Carolina.
FOREIGN STUDENT ADMISSION:
A student wishing to apply for undergraduate admission as a foreign student
should first make arrangements through the American Consulate in his own
country to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL Test). No
student can be approved (even if he meets other requirements) until a satisfac-
tory score is received.
Since Appalachian is a state-supported institution, it is not permitted to offer
financial assistance to foreign students. Therefore, arrangements for all expenses
should be made before a student leaves his own country.

QUIRE.
Fees are charged by the quarter and are due and payable in advance at the
beginning of each quarter. Any special arrangement for the payment of expenses
must be made at the time of registration with the Controller's Office.
It is estimated that the average student who is a North Carolina resident
incurs necessary expenses of approximately $1,150.00 for room, meals, tuition,
and fees during an academic year.

cafeteria is on the main campus and meals are available at moderate prices, for
cash payment or mealbook tickets.
With the approval of its governing bodies, the university reserves the right to
change these fees any time that it becomes necessary.
DAY STUDENTS
Regular day students pay all expenses except room rent, cafeterial meals,
laundry and dry cleaning.
FOREIGN STUDENTS
Foreign students are considered out-of-state students and, therefore, have to
pay the out-of-state rate unless they have a graduate assistantship.
PART-TIME STUDENTS
Students who register for less than full load pay the following charges:
One through three hours, $30.00; four through six hours, $43.00; more than
six hours, full charges.
OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS
The following statement governs a student's classification as a resident or
nonresident of North Carolina with respect to tuition payment.
1 . General: The tuition charge for legal residents of North Carolina is less than
for nonresidents. To qualify for in-state tuition, a legal resident must have
maintained his domicile in North Carolina for at least the six months pre-
ceeding the date of first enrollment or re-enrollment in an institution of
higher education in this state.
2. Minors: The legal residence of a person under twenty-one years of age at the
time of his first enrollment in an institution of higher education in this state
is that of his parents, surviving parent, or legal guardian. In cases where
parents are divorced or legally separated, the legal residence of the father will
control unless custody of the minor has been awarded by court order to the
mother or to a legal guardian other than a parent. No claim of residence in
North Carolina based upon residence of a guardian in North Carolina will be
considered if either parent is living unless the action of the court appointing
the guardian antedates the student's first enrollment in a North Carolina
institution of higher education by at least twelve months.
A minor student whose parents move their legal residence from North
Carolina to a location outside of the state shall be considered to be a non-
resident after six months from the date of removal from the state.
20
For the purpose of determining residence requirements under these rules, a
person will be considered a minor until he has reached his twenty-first
birthday. Married minors, however, are entitled to establish and maintain
their residence in the same manner as adults. Attendance at an institution of
higher education as a student cannot be counted as fulfilling the six-month
domicile requirement.
3. Adults: A person twenty-one years of age or older is eligible for in-state
tuition if he has maintained continuous domicile in North Carolina for the six
months next preceding the date of enrollment or re-enrollment, exclusive of
any time spent in attendance at any institution of higher education. An
in-state student reaching the age of twenty-one is not required to reestablish
residence provided that he maintains his domicile in North Carolina.
4. Married Students: The legal residence of a wife follows that of her husband,
except that a woman currently enrolled as an in-state student in an institution
of higher education may continue as a resident even though she marries a
nonresident. If the husband is a nonresident and separation or divorce occurs,
the woman may qualify for in-state tuition after establishing her domicile in
North Carolina for at least six months under the same conditions as she could
if she were single.
5. Military Personnel: No person shall be presumed to have gained or lost in-
state residence status in North Carolina while serving in the Armed Forces.
However, a member of the Armed Forces may obtain in-state residence status
for himself, his spouse, or his children after maintaining his domicile in North
Carolina for at least six months next preceding his or their enrollment or
re-enrollment in an institution of higher education in this state.
6. Aliens: Aliens lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence
may establish North Carolina residence in the same manner as any other
nonresident.
7. Property and Taxes: Ownership of property in or payment of taxes to the
State of North Carolina apart from legal residence will not qualify one for the
in -state tuition rate.
Change of Status: The residence status of any student is determined as of the
time of his first enrollment in an institution of higher education in North
Carolina and may not thereafter be changed except; (a) in the case of a
nonresident student at the time of his first enrollment who, or if a minor his
parents, has subsequently maintained a legal residence in North Carolina for
at least six months, and (b) in the case of a resident who has abandoned his
legal residence in North Carolina for a minimum period of six months. In
either case, the appropriate tuition rate will become effective at the beginning
of the term following the six-month period.
21
9. Responsibility of Student: Any student or prospective student in doubt con-
cerning his residence status must bear the responsibility for securing a ruling
by stating his case in writing to the admissions officer. The student who, due
to subsequent events, becomes eligible for a change in classification, whether
from out-of-state to in-state or the reverse, has the responsibility of imme-
diately informing the Director of Business Affairs and Registrar of this cir-
cumstances in writing. Failure to give complete and correct information re-
garding residence constitutes ground for disciplinary action.
STUDENT WELFARE AND ACTIVITIES
This fee supports such services and activities as health care, student govern-
ment, concerts and lectures, class dues, popular programs, forensics, dramatics,
intramurals, student publications, attendance at all athletic events on campus,
and transcript fee.
RENTAL OF TEXTBOOKS
A textbook rental fee entitles a student to receive textbooks used in each
course for which he registers. Notebooks, workbooks, manuals, and the like are
not included. These and other supplementary materials will be purchased by the
student. At the end of each quarter textbooks that are not needed further are
returned. A student who desires to own his textbooks may purchase them by
paying the difference between the rental fee and the purchase price.
LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANING
Laundry of linens and personal clothing, pressing, and dry cleaning are pro-
vided at the university laundry. Students whose laundry service is in excess of
the minimum charge will settle the account with the Cashier's Office. All stu-
dents should have permanent name markings in every article to be laundered or
dry cleaned.
AUDITING
A person except those on university appointment and students registered for
a full schedule who audits a class pays the regular registration and tuition fees.
Auditors do not take tests, examinations, or receive grades or credit.
HOSPITALIZATION AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE
A hospital and accident insurance coverage is available on a voluntary basis to
all students at a low cost. For married or widowed students a family plan is also
offered. This insurance will pay a substantial part of charges for hospitalization,
surgical procedures, treatment for accidental injuries, diagnostic tests and medi-
cal emergencies. The insurance policy is effective for twelve months between
September first and August thirty-first and provides coverage both on campus
and off. Each student is urged to purchase this protection. In addition, the
22
University Health Services will pay the first twenty-five dollars toward the hospi-
tal bill of any student admitted to Watauga County Hospital in Boone.
LATE REGISTRATION 5.00 to 10.00
A student who does not complete his registration during the announced
registration date is charged a $5.00 fee, with an increase of $1.00 for each
additional late day of registration, the total not to exceed $10.00.

REFUND OF FEES
Room reservation fees from new students for the fall quarter are refundable
upon notification on or prior to May 10 and from returning students on or prior
to June 15. Requests for refunds should be made to the Director of Housing.
If a student withdraws from the university before the close of the registration
period, one-half of the room rent and tuition and a proportionate part of the
amount paid for meals will be refunded. If a student withdraws after the close of
the registration period, a proportionate part of the amount paid for meals will be
refunded. Refunds will be calculated from the date of the official withdrawal
from the university. Students who are suspended for disciplinary reasons or who
do not formally withdraw are not eligible for a refund.
23
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
Opportunities for financial aid, though not unlimited, are within the reach of
almost every student who can show both superior academic achievement and
definite financial need. The student who realizes that he will be unable to meet
university expenses without assistance should determine the approximate
amount of assistance needed per quarter and take early initiative in seeking
information from the Director of Student Aid and should file applications for at
least one of the principal types of financial aid indicated below.
Aid applications for the following academic year must be submitted by April
15. In addition, applicants interested in receiving a National Defense Loan, or an
Educational Opportunity Grant administered through the university should also
have their parents submit a Parents' Confidential Statement. Forms may be
obtained from one's high school and should be submitted to the College Scholar-
ship Service, Box 176, Princeton, New Jersey.
INFORMATION TO VETERANS
The university is approved for providing training under provisions of Chapter
34, Title 38, U. S. Code, G. I. Bill effective June 1966; Chapter 35, Title 38, U.
S. Code, the children of deceased or disabled veterans; and Public Law 894, for
disabled veterans.
Students enrolling under provisions of Chapter 34 and 35 will pay fees at the
time of registration but receive a monthly education and training allowance from
the Veterans Administration. Since the first check is usually delayed, a veteran
should make his arrangements early.
Students may contact the Veterans Administration Regional Office, 301
North Main Street, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for information and
necessary forms. Approval from The Veterans Administration regarding eligi-
bility should be received by the student before entering school. The approval
form (certificate of eligibility) should be submitted to the Financial Aid Office
for completion after the veteran enrolls.
Children of disabled or deceased veterans may receive assistance in payment
of tuition, room, meals, and other university fees. For information regarding
eligibility and application forms, students should write to the North Carolina
Veterans Commission, Raleigh, North Carolina.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS
The student employment programs enable eligible student to help pay college
expenses while attending classes full time. Students participating in the programs
are employed in the cafeterias, library, administrative offices, and in the various
colleges and departments of the university.
24
The student employment programs consist of The Appalachian State Univer-
sity Self-Help Program and The University Work-Study Program; the latter is of
federal assistance under Title I of The Economic Opportunity Act.
A student returning to school for the summer session only is not eligible to
work under this program.
Generally, a student may work up to fifteen hours per week. A student's
work schedule will depend upon class schedules and will be arranged by the
student and his work supervisor. The amount of compensation the student re-
ceives depends upon the program for which he qualifies. Many students earn as
much as one third of the total necessary expenses of the year.
Jobs off campus are not assigned by any committee or division of the univer-
sity, but such jobs do exist. Whenever possible, the Director of Student Aid will
help the student find one of these jobs.

opportunities for the maximum development of each student, the university
supports a variety of activities and services to supplement the academic pro-
gram.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The Student Government Association is the governing agency of the Student
Body, acting within the framework of university policies and regulations. The
association is the representative voice of the student body and is divided into
three distinct branches: the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial.
As the voice of the students, the organization serves as the foundation of
self-government and acts as a clearing house for student opinion. It has the
responsibility of communicating with students, faculty, administration, staff
and community leaders. In effect, all undergraduate students of the university
are members of the Student Government Association and may serve on Senate
Committees to make their wishes known. More than any other co-curricular
group, the student government must accept the responsibility which comes
from the entire student body, a responsibility encompassing concern for stu-
dent opinions, grievances, accomplishments and discipline.
STANDARD OF CONDUCT
The foundation of self-government at Appalachian State University rests on
the honor of its students. As a condition of acceptance and attendance at
Appalachian, students are required at all times to maintain a high standard of
private and public conduct both on and off campus. To lie, cheat, steal or break
one's word of honor under any circumstances is recognized as intolerable
conduct. Violation of other commonly accepted rules of behavior, whether or
not covered by specific regulations, will be subject to disciplinary action.
University officials reserve the right, with due process observed, to require
any student whose conduct is considered unsatisfactory to withdraw. Claims of
ignorance of such high standards and commonly accepted rules or of specific
regulations will not be accepted as an excuse for their violation.
35

or campus honors, athletic managers, members of the publications staffs, parti-
cipants in public programs, cheerleaders, debaters, and any persons other than

heritage, the university sponsors a wide variety of social and cultural activities
throughout the year.

campus each year a variety of outstanding concerts, art exhibits, plays, lectures,
recitals and films which involve students and faculty in both classical and
contemporary expression of the fine arts. All of these activities are open to
students, faculty and visitors in order to extend cultural opportunities to the
university community.

John Hiliary Workman and his sister, Miss Sarah Workman of Cherryville, North
Carolina, brings a nationally known speaker in the field of economics to the

amount paid for meals will be refunded. If a student withdraws after the close of
the registration period, room rent will not be refunded, but a proportionate part
of the amount paid for meals will be refunded.
OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING
Because of limited residence hall space, some students may find it necessary
to secure privately owned housing in the university area. A listing of available
privately owned housing may be obtained from the Office of Student Housing.
Men and women who plan to live in privately owned housing and who are not
living at home or with close relatives must receive permission from the Dean of
Men or the Dean of Women to do so. All students enrolled in the university,
whether living on campus or off campus, are subject to the rules of good citizen-
ship and exemplary conduct as administered and supervised by the university
administration and Student Government Association.
MOTOR VEHICLES
All students, faculty, staff, and employees of Appalachian State University
who operate or park a motor vehicle on the university campus or its environs
must register his or her motor vehicle with the university before he is allowed to
park on the campus. This includes students attending as commuters.
All members of the freshman and sophomore classes not residing with
immediate relatives, all students on academic or disciplinary probation, and all
students who have an academic average below "C'\ are prohibited from register-
ing, maintaining, or operating any type of motor vehicle on the campus or its
environs.
43
Application for parking privileges may be made at Registration on Registra-
tion Day. THIS IS DONE AS A PART OF ACADEMIC REGISTRATION. The
parking decal should be affixed to the motor vehicle by the first day of classes at
which time any out-of-date parking decals must be removed.
Any student requiring the use of a motor vehicle after Registration Day for
any period, however short, must immediately register his or her motor vehicle
before he is allowed to drive or park on the campus. All vehicles not registered
on Registration Day must be registered at the University Traffic & Security
Office.
A student may not register a vehicle that was or is owned or used primarily
by another student, unless ownership of the vehicle has been transferred and
proof to that effect can be shown.
POST OFFICE
Appalachian has a new and modern Post Office located on the first floor of
the Plemmons Student Center. All students living in a residence hall on campus
are pre-assigned a post office box. No additional charge is required for this
service. Boxes are not available for off-campus students.
When a student moves off campus or leaves Appalachian, it is very important
that he check by the Post Office window and leave his correct forwarding
address.
PLACEMENT SERVICES
As one of it student services, Appalachian maintains a central Office of Place-
ment with a Director and staff whose function is to assist students and alumni in
securing suitable positions. The total placement function of the University is the
responsibility of this office. All commercial, industrial, governmental, and educa-
tional placement is handled by this one office. All qualified students and alumni
who have completed or expect to complete any one of the degree programs
register for permanent placement services.
Although the Office of Placement cannot guarantee professional appoint-
ments, every effort is made to study the professional qualifications and interests
of the student and to assist him in obtaining satisfactory placement. Relation-
ships have been established with outstanding school systems, colleges, industries,
and local, state and federal governmental agencies throughout the country. The
Office maintain accurate and up-to-date information regarding vacancies, certifi-
cation and license requirements, and qualifying examinations, and arrangements
for interviews with prospective employers.
44
The Office of Placement maintains membership in the Southern College
Placement Association, the College Placement Council, and the State and
National Association for School, College and University Staffing. Students and
alumni of member institutions are entitled to reciprocal placement services and
nationwide computerized service.
NEWS BUREAU
The university's news bureau gathers, compiles and distributes all newsworthy
facets of campus life to appropriate news media organizations. Some 400 news-
papers, radio stations and television stations, most of which are located in
Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, are kept continually
aware of the Appalachian activities which are of interest to the general public.
The news bureau is responsible for preparing releases to keep the public
informed about all phases of the university, including coverage of the institu-
tion's athletic teams. The department also handles the publication and distribu-
tion of various brochures. Complete photographic service, including a full-time
photographer and darkroom facilities, functions as a major asset to the overall
news bureau operation.
45
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
All graduates, former students who have attended for one year or earned
twelve (12) hours of credit, and personnel officially associated with the univer-
sity are members of the Alumni Association. The purpose of the Association is
to promote and encourage fellowship and friendship among its members; to
foster good will on the part of its members and others toward the university; and
