The Rhododendron, 1978, Vol. 56 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Rhododendron, 1978, Vol. 56 This year our Speech and Communications department has moved into its new facility, which houses a new radio station for wasu-fm while boasting a television studio. This New Arts and Speech building also contains studios for the many talented artists at asu. In the realm of science, a large greenhouse is being constructed beside the Rankin building which will permit valuable first hand experimentation. The academic demands in the sciences are increasing and our departments intend to keep pace. Our College of Business, long recognized for excellence in the state, enters its second year in Johnny Walker Hall. With the assistance of such benefactors as Walker, a business degree from asu should become one of the most respected majors in the South. As Appalachian State Teacher's College, the state's public schools looked to our institution for quality educators. Today, asu continues in that tradition, as seventy-five percent of our grads remain in this state. Music majors at asu, now enjoying the most diversified curriculum ever, can look forward to a new facility in the near future, so can our Industrial Arts majors. The campus infirmary, long deemed inadequate, will soon be replaced by a structure five times as large, replete with para-medical training facilities.
