BRONCOS' VOICE
January 29,1991
From the Editor^s Desk:
Just a few notes from the staff
of the Broncos’ Voice:
First of all, we would like
to welcome the faculty, staff and
students of FSU back for the
Spring semester and wish
everyone much success in 1991.
The Broncos’ Voice really
took off last semester and we
have received many comments
and observations (most of them
very positive) concerning the job
we are doing. Keep them
coming. We welcome all
opinions and suggestions. Our
phone number is 486-1357. Feel
free to use it. After all, this is
your newspaper.
*** However, if you would like
to make more of a contribution
to this publication than an
occasional comment or
complaint, come by our office in
the student center. Good writers
are hard to find and are always
needed. The experience gained
by putting your wridng skills to
work is invaluable in the job
market. After all, it is your
future.
*** Don’t forget about the many
events planned for Black History
Month coming in February.
Visits from Alex Haley and the
Harlem Globetrotters, along with
numerous activities celebrating
great Afro-Americans. Take the
time to attend these events.
Much time and effort has been
expended to make this year’s
celebration the best ever. And
who knows? You may learn
something! After all, it is your
history.
*** FSU’s men’s basketball
team is having its best season in
years. At press nme, the
Broncos were 10-3 overall and
ranked 16th nationally among
NCAA Division II teams. Home
games are played in the
Cumberland County Civic Center
and shuttle buses are available
for student transportation. The
Lady Broncos play in Lilly
Gym, right here on the FSU
campus. Come out to the games
and support the Broncos! After
all, it is your home-team.
*** Finally, December’s Fall
graduation ceremony was one of
the many FSU success stories of
1990. Congratulations to all the
graduates and good luck in the
real world!!! The rest of us will
see you there soon.
Thanks,

The Effects Of War On FSU
by Bayyinnah McGregor
and Eula Wright
On Jan. 16, President
Bush ordered United States and
Allied Forces troops, stationed in
Saudi Arabia since August,
1990, to attack Iraq. The attack
and the ensuing war with Iraq
has direct and indirect
consequences for students at
FSU.
According to Dr. Joseph
Monroe, Vice Chancellor for
Academic Affairs, 37 students
were forced to withdraw from
the university for deployment in
the Middle East. Also, "six
females withdrew to go home to
their families," said Dr. Monroe.
Females who remain in
school also find it difficult to
cope. Ayanna Carney, a
freshmen whose boyfriend is
stationed in Saudi Arabia, stated,
" The stress is unbelievable. I
can’t help but think. When will
he be back? Will he come back?
All we can do is pray and
support our troops in every way
we can."
Many FSU students support
Bush’s attack on Iraq. Some
students remember their
reactions upon hearing the news
that war had commenced. "I was
watching the highlights of the
N.C. State basketball game, and

my first reaction was that of
shock," expressed Brian
Morrison. "I felt optimistic
because I knew we must do
something. I also feel that it is
necessary. We have people here
living the good life. There are
people over here yelling peace,
peace," the graduating senior
continued. "They don’t
understand what peace is if
they’ve never been in war."
Nicole Hairston, a
sophomore, has loved ones in
Saudi Arabia. "At first, I thought
George Bush was not right, and
that war was not the right
answer, but now (that) this has
happened, I guess it is good that
we can go and help, because;
these Iraqis are taking their
frustrations out on innocent
people. I have loved ones there
and it still hurts to think they
will not come back. But, I guess
these are the realities that we
must deal with."
Some FSU students feel the
need to take action in support of
family members with loved ones
stationed in the Gulf. "I am
behind them (U.S. troops) 100
percent. Now I feel that I need
to do something here on
campus, so I’m starting a
support group for those who
need more help in dealing with
this situation," stated junior
Cammie Sheppard.

Hackley stated.
"The timing of the land was
good. It makes us feel good that
someone supports this institution
and it’s faculty."
The donation of land to FSU
is the largest ever received by
the university.
