ASK cuts the red tape for you, A box will be placed in the Canteen for your questions. Give the name and title of person you want an answer from. For Coach Tom Reeves: How did you feel when you found out that the team was CIAA bound? Answer: I was highly elated to be able to take the team to the tournament for the first time since 1958. We worked hard and it was quite an achievement. For Clifton X, Student: What inspired you toward the Muslim faith? Answer: Truth and explanation to a lot of unexplained life pro- phecies and the love and service for Black people. For Robert A. Massey,Instruc tor: What are your views on the Black atmosphere on campus? Answer: Basically Blacks sho- uld spend a little more time find ing out what Black is. In my es timation many Blacks are taking the time to find out and hopefully more of their classmates will fol- low suite. For Robert A, Massey. Instruc- tor: What do you think of these Black professionals who choose while marriage mates? Answer: It depends upon the nature of the professional. If he perceives the white mate as an individual and does not lose his identity then it could be a pos itive situation considering the fact that the latter of the two situs^ions is less likely to co- cnr. Then I would not condone it. For Harold Riggins, student: What did you thing of the Bron co’s spirit at St. Aug. Saturday nigjit, February 12? Answer: It was airi^t--did not need the fighting. For Richard Brown, student: Are you interested in becoming a Cheerleader? Why or why not? Answer: Yes, I am. The ones we have now aren't capable of leading the crowd. For Frederica Broadnax, stu dent: Do yo feel that all Black men shold be judged for one Black man’s mistake? Answer. No. I want to feel that all Black men are different. For Dean Armetha Robinson: Where do you buy all your “Mod clothes and shoes”? Answers: Oh my gosh! Really I (k)n’t have a special place here in Fayetteville to buy them, usu ally they come from out of town.
