or illegal acts. Also, we are asking that
Black women, particularly our moth
ers, be with our children teaching them
the value of home, self-esteem, fam
ily, and unity. We are asking that they
work with us to ensure the success of
the March and our mission to improve
the quality of life for our people.
How can you help to make this ef
fort a success? Well, you can begin by
spreading the word about the march
and joining your local organizing
group. Information regarding the lo
cal organization group is listed below.
Assistance is needed by both men and
women in order to make this effort a
success. However, only Black men
will be allowed to march in Washing
ton. We are asking that all males trav
eling to Washington, D.C. travel in
buses. If you are a Black male who
desires to participate in the march and
have not reserved your bus seat, please
contact your local Million Man March
organizing committee to reserve your
seat. There is a $20.00 fee for riding
the bus. These monies cover the cost
of transportation only.

Politics

get any constructive work done. Put
simply, keep your agenda short, sweet,
and specific. No more than three to five
agenda items per semester (determined
by your constituency); items not closed
will be used to establish the next
semester’s/administration’s agenda
(whichever is due) .
The most important step in the pro
cess is to start your campaign as early
as possible (like me) so that all stu
dents can get to know the issues, what
you stand for, and most importantly,
to get all involved in the election pro
cess. Also, use the media (like me) to
state your case and get your point
across. Last, run as a ticket (right,
Hope?).
Another shot out to Chancellor
Benson. She paved the way for the
Broncos’ Voice move to the Women’s
Gym (down the hall from ROTC). Her
efforts have made it possible for this
function to target a weekly publication
by Fall semester 97 (if we get the bud
get!). Thanks for the assist!
Speaking of budgets, for the 95-96
semester, SGA received $20,000;
SAC, $60,000; The Broncos’ Voice,
$5,040 (about a $1,500 cut from last
yeail). What’s wrong with this pic
ture? Do they care that we students
have a voice? Or is it just politics as
usual? More later.
Cost
rights: human rights (learning, read
ing, loving) whose acquisition and/or
practice often led to death. Focus on
the moral and character attributes of
an individual that will uplift the orga
nization, community, and culture. Our
journey in America has been arduous,
painful, death-filled, yet forward and
continuing. Why hinder that progress
with ignorance and self-inflicted ha
tred? If you haze, please realize that it
is also your responsibility to ask “But
at what cost?”

health hazards, one working toilet for
the entire dorm. Upon seeing these
horrendous conditions in a place they
are to spend most of their days and
nights for nine months, many girls con
templated dropping out of school.
Although the force behind the fury
has weakened, complaints and griev
ances against the dorms remain con
stant. The question is, in sight of these
problems, was the one week delay for
Fall semester necessary? No, because
the delay should have ensured that all
of these problems were fixed. This is
obviously not the case. However, we
are continuing to pay for room/board
fees, which, considering the current
circumstances for residents of Hood,
Harris, and upperclassmen in New
Res., is highly unfair.
Former Interim Chancellor, Dr.
Benson addressed this issue in a memo
to students apologizing for the condi-
• tions of the dorms and stated that a
discount would be enacted for those
students under which these grievances
were stated. However, a memorandum
clandestinely slipped under the doors
of the rooms does not make up for the
insult to the ego of the students.
This is just one testimony to the ill-
treatment students at FSU suffer at the
hands of administration, indirectly and
covertly perpetrated by the University
of North Carolina school system.

removed from the
theater.
One cast mem
ber said, “This play
has not only
reached many
hearts of its audi
ence, but has
brought us [cast
members] together
as one to deliver this
message to its view
ers.”
So, if you
haven’t seen the
play that expresses
that a “GOOD
MAN” is a good
Christian man, go
see it the next time
it comes to your
area. This play has
truly done well both
spiritually and fi
nancially.

scholarship in the year 2000. Many
of these children, who come from
low-income families, may not oth
erwise finish high school or go on to
college without the scholarship in
centive and the academic support.
Funding of college scholarships will
come from a $250,000 NC Legisla
tive grant to FSU made in 1993.
DOE’s grant for the FIRST program
of $126,969 over three years was
provided through its Fund for te Im
provement of Post-Secondary Edu
cation, or FIPSE. Other FIRST pro
gram funding includes a $50,000
grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds
Foundation in Winston-Salem, NC,
awarded in June, 1995. FSU’s Direc
tor of Public Education Outreach,
Ms. Patricia Health, is the FIRST
project director and wrote the suc
cessful FIPSE proposal. For addi
tional information concerning FSU’s
Upward Bound project, please con
tact Dr. Dorothy G. Holmes, Direc
tor of Special Programs, at 486-1172.
For more information about the
FIRST program, please contact Ms.

raped by seven men in a dormitory
room. Upon leaving a party, she had
accepted a ride back to campus from
the men. Four days after reporting the
rape, the woman reported that she had
been accosted (struck in the face) in a
parking lot by a man who called her a
liar.
We can not change the reality of
Kiesha Simpson’s death but we can
honor her life by availing you of a so
bering truth: never forget that you are
not alone.
Together We can Get There
b^J^ohndnAdrewmm
Not only are we the best, but we
are also underdogs. For that simple
reason no one will expect to see us on
top, but that is where there straining,
crusty eyes will have to look.
Can we get there from here? We
sure can; if we work together as a unit.
I believe that we can do it as soon as
people realize that a change has to be
made, and it can not be made without
help. We not only can make a change,
but we can make the difference.
There are so many different skills
that each of us possesses and each one
of us can compensate for another miss
ing skill/talent. This is why it is im
perative that we work in clubs, univer
sity, and community to make a posi
tive change.
We can get there from here, but it
is right here, right now where we must
make the change! So as others sleep
on Fayetteville State University, we
will rise early in the morning to start
our long journey to “THERE”: the top!
