You put more than just your savings into a
retirement company. You put in your trust
and hopes for the future, too. So before you
choose one, ask some questions. How stable is
the company? How solid are its investments?
How sound is its overall financicJ health?
A good place to start looking for answers is in
the ratings of independent analysts. Four
companies, all widely recognized resources for
finding out how strong a financial services
company really is, gave TIAA their top grade.
IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, TIAA
IS LETTER PERFECT.
TIAA received A++ (Superior) from A.M.
Best Co., AAA from Duff & Phelps Credit
Rating Co., Aaa from Moody’s Investors Service
and AAA from Standard & Poor’s. These ratings
reflect TIAA’s stability, sound investments,
claims-paying ability and overall financicJ
strength. (These are ratings of insurance

companies only, so they do not apply to CREF.)
And TIAA—which, backed by the company’s
claims-paying ability, offers a guaranteed rate of
return and the opportunity for dividends—is one
of a handful of insurance companies nationwide
that currently hold these highest marks.

EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW.

WSSU 33 - FORT VALLEY 6
WSSU’s football team started the
season with a bang as they beat up on
the Fort Valley State Wildcats 33-6 on
Labor Day weekend. Emil Fox of Fort
Valley fumbled the opening kickoff and
was tackled in the end zone for a safety.
Twenty-six seconds into the game and
the Rams akeady had their first points
of the season. It was all downhill for
the Wildcats after that. After Milton
Mooya’s 34-yard field goal made it 5-0,
Richard Huntley took off on a 25-yard
touchdown run that made it 12-0 in the
first quarter. Just two minutes into the
second quarter, the Rams had the ball
on the wildcats 4 yard line when
freshman quarterback D’Andre Hopper
connected with fullback Haywood
Cloud on a scoring pass that gave the
Rams a 19-0 cushion. But Fort Valley
fought back and cut the lead back to 12
on Bryan Holmes’ 20-yard touchdown
run. But the Rams countered with a 1
yard touchdown plunge by Cloud right
before halftime to give WSSU a 26-6
halftime advantage.
The score stayed that way until
Huntley’s 3-yard touchdown run made
it 33-6 and mercifully ended the game
for Fort Valley State. The Rams rushed
for a total of 358 yards. Huntley
became Black College Football’s all-
time leading rusher as gained 175 yards
on 23 carries, and Hopper carried the
ball 12 times for 85 yards. WSSU’s
defense held the Wildcats to 143 total
yards. Shawn Colvin and Mark Sanders
each had interceptions to help lead the
Rams to an opening game victory.
N.C. A&T 45 - WSSU 21
Approximately 25,000 fans filled
Bowman-Gray stadium^ to watch this
bitter rivah7 take plajlti^. Things did not
go well for the Ratfts as the Aggies
scored on all six of their possessions in
the first half and enroute to a 45-21
"Victory. A&T’s Milton Shaw got his
team off to a fabulous start when he
took a handoff from Maseo Bolin,
broke a tackle at midfield, and
exploded down the sideline for a 61-
yard touchdown run. The Aggies never
looked back after that. Shaw scored
again on an 8-yard sweep that made it
14-0 with 8:49 remaining in the first
quarter. The Aggies scored again on a
Bowden reverse that made it 21-0 and
James Harris scored on a 78-yard
touchdown pass from Bolin that increased
the lead to 28-0. The Rams got on the
scoreboard in the second quarter when
D’Andre Hopper scored on a I-yard run.
But the Aggies scored ten unanswered
points to take a 38-7 halftime lead.
However, there were some positives
that came out of this loss. After the first
quarter, The Rams outscored the Aggies
21-17. Richard Huntley also proved he is
one of the best running backs in the nation
as he rushed for 303 yards on 42 carries
and scored two touchdowns.
