We started this final issue thinking:
(I) it would not be our final isSue, and (2)
our cover story would be about music.
Since then, many things have happened.
Rumors began circulating around
campus about a particular general faculty
meeting in which a cmain instructor was
blatandy disrespected in fi'ont of his col
leagues. I began an investigation and be
gan interviewing instructors who had seri
ous complaints with the administration of
the university. I finally got an interview
with Chancellor Hackley to discuss the
complaints and accusations levied against
the administration. I was told the accusa
tions wo-e old, unsubstantiated, and the
work of a few disgruntled amidst a crowd
of content, happy professors. After two
and a half hours of listening, I was still
stuck with what I felt (and still feel) were
very serious accusations.
A few days after this interview, I got
a call from another administrator. He
wished to see a draft of my investigative
report, and made mention of FSU’s image.
In other words, censorship reared its ugly
head.
Now, of course, the administration
would never call it censorship. S uch words
are not becoming of an administration
concerned with image.
So, that was going down.
A few days later, FSU students were
protesting at the administration building.
It seemed that many people living in the
New Residence Dormitory complex —
the only air-conditioned dormitory on cam
pus — were informed (after the fact) that
New Res would be for incoming freshmen
only, starting in the fall of ’92. Suddenly,
sophomores, juniors, and seniors were
contemplating what it would feel like to
study in ninety-plus degree heat common
for North Carolina’s spring and summer.
And, as suddenly as they realized this, they
were protesting; and for once (since the
pathetically-handled Hollywood hearings),
the campus seemed alive and the students
were buzzing.
So, we were back to music (with a mix
of student activism) when, lo and behold -
- THE RODNEY KING VERDICT. Four
cops were acquitted of all excessive-force
charges for beating a man to a pulp (re
member the broken bones?). And sud
denly everyone was talking. The Clarence
Thomas hearings, Mike Tyson’s r^ trial
— these were nothing compared to the
response the acquittal engendered.
The staff found itself immersed in
trying to absorb all the facts and record all
the fatalities.
May, 1992
Frankly, it’s been rough. But, here it
is, the final copy for the ‘91-92 school
year.
I’m off to bigger and better things (if
I can get my name on the graduates list and
avoid further arrests!).
I’m leaving you in the care of upcom
ing sophomore Matthew Royal. Intelli
gent, insightful, full of computer knowl
edge, and, unfortunately,conservative. It’s
up to you, dear reader, to bring liberalism
to good old Matt.
It’s been an interesting year.

Yes, fans, the Voice is going right-
wing!
No, we won’t ban leftist writers —
there is that little matter of a First Amend
ment to contend with—but the reasonable
analysis of issues will be encouraged.
We will be accepting articles, news
releases, and editorials from students, fac
ulty, adriiinis'trators, and FSU alumni. I
expd:t that we will only reject those that
have no basis in fact, are in incredibly bad
taste, or are so grammatically repugnant
that they are unsalvagable.
What we hope to have next semester:
0 More news about the University, cam
pus organizations, and the Fayetteville
area.
o Creative writings from students, fac
ulty, alumni, and (maybe) even the ad
ministration.
0 Continued analysis of the news, with
diverse opinions from our highly accom
plished staff.
o A bigger highly accomplished staff,
o A format that doesn’t look quite so
much like The Nation.
Hopefully we’ll be a httle more or
ganized and reliable next semester. This
isn’t to take anything away from Barbara
— she’s done a great job considering the
size of her staff, even if she has been just
a little socialist in her opinions—but with
a larger staff, next semester’s paper should
be able to do even better.
Wish us luck — and better yet, get
involved! Wouldn’t it look great on your
resume to say that you were the managing
editor or business manager of your campus
newspaper? It could happen — but only if
you give it a chance! -Matt.
