16 Cafe from pa^e 8 Broncos' Voice Homecoming 1995 deur. Students and their guests were served a mix a exotic of drinks and yes, you guessed it, pizza of different vari eties by the SAC members. The real entertainment took place when partici pants, composed of the FSU student body and some of the staff (those brave Broncos), took center stage. With mic’ in hand and a television screen in full view, they started to sing while follow ing the bouncing ball. What a wonder ful time was had by all. Selections were available from singers such as Aretha Franklin, BBD, En Vogue, and the Temptations Just to name a few. Several people were able to get in their request for a song; however, not everyone was as eager to sing at the beginning of the program as at the end of the night’s affair. Everyone seemed to be having a genuine grand time, dis pelling the social stereotype that Afri can - American youth need a forty of O.E. and some L’s to get their groove on. The night ended with fond memo ries of what had just transpired. A good time was had by all, making clean up afterwards well worth the time and effort. In Tribute to Felton J. Capel by Kelvin Thompson The following biography highlights the contributions that led to FSU’s new gymnasium being named in honor of Felton J. Capel. Felton J. Capel was bom in Rich mond County, North Carolina and at tended Mineral Springs High School in Ellerbe. He received his college education at Hampton University in Virginia.

He spent a year as a Rockefeller Founda tion fellow, interning with school su perintendents in New Jersey and Cali fornia.

Dr. Editorial from pase 2 an African-American literature class (isn’t that what we want)? What’s wrong with a white student who would question FSU’s motive for supporting the Million Man March? What’s wrong with the fraternities and sorori ties—why claim Greek when we all do or should know that the Greek derived from the African (do you hear the drums; can you feel me)? Why are we afraid to acknowledge our root, pay tribute to our heritage, and establish programs that insure that we know Black, understand Black, grow Black, and love Black. FSU is a Black thang. There, I said it. No longer a slave to a master, we are now being taught to be slaves to a master “society,, (please read Barbara Beebee’s editorial). The clown paint is slowly applied, and we, smiling (be cause we have no mirror to see), play the roll, dancing the jig of the fool in a play of the damned. At what price free dom? Do the means justify the ends? Are you laughing? NEXT EDITION: PART TWO-FACTORS, CAUSES, EFFECTS, AND SOLUTIONS Report from page 15 Liberation from page, 2 an African-centered perspective.

Con stantly fed the culture of the European, we act toward ourselves the same way Europeans act toward us. We oppress ourselves, denigrate our own culture, and deny our own history. It is an unfortunate reality that the “traditionally Black college/univer sity,, has been one of the largest pur veyors of Eurocentric thinking and acting. Far from accomplishing what it was established to do, the “tradition ally Black college,, now stfives for more and more integration, teaches more and more Eurocentric thought, and continues to prepare more young African brothers and sisters to be work ers instead 6f creators and builders. Thus, another generation of people are graduated thinking they have the keys to freeing their people when in essence the most they will get are the keys to a Lexus and a house. You will not be given the keys to real liberation—land, self-sustained economy, cultural integ rity. see Liberation, page 18 NASA. Fayetteville State was repre sented by approximately twenty (20) students. II. “THE MARCH BEFORE THE MARCH,, On Saturday, October 7, 1995, the citizens of Fayetteville, including many students from Fayetteville State University participated in a march on the city dubbed “The March Before the March,,, refering to the Million Man March. The March began at Seabrook Auditorium’s parking lot, with WZFX 99.1 personality, Bobby Jay as host and culminated at the Markethouse and Cross Creek Park where SGA Presi dent Wayne X Hodges served as Mas ter of Ceremony. The FSU Gospel Choir, The United Voices of Praise, provided entertainment for the crowd. SGA Treasurer, Trinette Flowers was also in attendance. III. THE MILLION MAN MARCH On Monday, October 16,1995 over one million Black men gathered in Washington D.C. for the Million Man March. The march, which was led by the Honorable Louis Farrakhan and na tionally directed by the Rev. Benjamin Chavis, attracted Black men (and some women) from all across the nation. Fayetteville State University chartered two buses for the event, enabling ap proximately 80 students to attend. Uni versity employees Mr. Dennis McNair, Mr. Gene Carroway, Mr. Ricardo Morgan and Mr. Dean Lewis served as chaperons. It should be noted that the brothers from FSU conducted themselves in a noble, civilized man ner. Much thanks goes to various people for their support: to Valley Coach Bus Company for the transpor tation; to Minister Ray Muhammad of Muhammad’s Mosque #34 of Durham, NC for providing the brothers with morale at the information session; to the brothers for having the backbone, courage, and determination to attend; to the aforementioned chaperons for their assistance in making SGA’s ef fort a safe one; to Interim Chancellor Dr. Donna J. Benson for her support; to all the organizations and individu als who made monetary donations and contributions to SGA; to the officers and Senate for approval and assistance; to Student Activities Council for work ing in conjunction with the spirit of the MMM with their Button Sale and the “Wake Up and Recognize,, Pajama Jammie Jam. SGA spent a total of $2000 for the two buses. Donations of over $900 were collected, with the National Alumni Association pledging to absorb the remaining costs. IV.
