seek to answer your thoughts and
those things that make you go
hmm.
1. Why is the media the last to
discover that Whimey Houston is
on drugs? knew she was on
drugs as soon as she married
that fool, Bobby.
2. Why do some Belles who
have work-study, neither work
nor study?

Bastard) been arrested lately?

the best parlor and the least
amount of people hanging out in
it?
8. Why does it seem like Jones
Hall is turning into the Jerry
Springer Show?
9. Why is it that people who are
graduating in May say they are
dropping out in April?
10. Maybe it’s just me, but can’t
the Greensboro News and
Record find something else to
talk about besides Bennett?
11. Shouldn ’ t there be a “Miss I
Just Want to Graduate and Get
Outta Here?” Requirements: No
leadership skills, no community
service, just a strong passion to
graduate. 1 know the competition
will be really tight.

shouldn’t the Bennett sisters
stage another protest? This time

rolls and wings too!

wants “Cross Colors” to
come back into style?
