Broncos’ Voice
Homecoming 1995
Queens To Be
by Deitric Davis
The Homecoming spirit began to
take its effect on the campus as stu
dents raUied in the Student Center to
listen to and view the six Beautiful
Black Princesses who wanted to rep
resent FSU as the next Homecoming
Queen. While the onlookers began to
assemble for the speechs, Anthony
“Batman,, Lancaster serenaded the la
dies with his “mad vocal skills.,.
The event was set off by the beauty
of Miss FSU, Kenyatta Morrisey, as
she introduced the six candidates. The
atmospshere began to take a charge as
the ladies addressed the crowd stating
why they were quailified to wear the
crown of Miss Homecoming. Tawnya
Greene told us that a queen should
know herself. Argentina Houser was
given a warm ovation when she
stepped on to the podium. Oneaka
Mack-Humphrey told why she was the
epitome of all queens. LaTonya
McNeil told us what a queen should
be to her subjects. Laurie Stevens ex
pressed that the most important aspect
of a Queen is not her radiant beauty,
but her iimer beauty. Nancy Williams
resounded that a Queen should travel
to her subjects far and near.
These ladies were diverse in their
words of choice and united by their
show of school spirit. Congratulations
to one and all, because you are all truly
Queens to be.

his address, he gave some heart warm
ing words on why “Black Colleges are
the “Real Thing.,, We graduate doc
tors, lawyers, scientists, mathemati
cians, and statisticians.,. There were
also some disturbing words in his ad
dress. If you are attending college and
do not obtain your degree within four
years, there will be a 25% increase ih
tuition at Historically Black Colleges
or Universities versus the six year plan
offered at white colleges and univer
sities. Believe it or not, there are some
similarities between a collej^ e and an
insane asylum; “you have to n ake sub
stantial progress in order to get out.,,
For some of those in attendance. Dr.
Earl turned on the light of reality when
he said that, “all white people are not
your enemy and all blacks are not your
friends!,, Dr. Earl is responsible for the
acquiring of 30 million dollars in re
search grants, 10 million of which will
got to NC’s HBCUs.
Speeches were heard from all the
campus presidents and campus queens
(Wayne X was very deft in his oratori
cal skills). These leaders and their
words will serve as the force to unite
the many different straws that make a
broom, for those people that “stand for
nothing, will fall for anything.,.

VI. ACT OF ATONEMENT
The Million Man March called for
an unprecedented spirit of atonement,
repentance, and reconciliation. It is in
that spirit that I, Wayne X Hodges, re
pent and atone for the following:
1. Any disrespect rendered unto my
God,
2. Any disrespect, harm, injury, or
spiritual death enacted against myself,
3. Any disrespect, harm, injury or spiri
tual death enacted against my broth
ers,
4. Any emotional, spiritual, verbal, and
physical disrespect and abuse that I
may have rendered unto any sisters that
I may have had any relationship with:
mothers, aunts, girlfriends, grand
mothers, etc.,
5. Any harmful speech or diatribes
spoken against anyone on campus
(Hackley and other officers included),
and
6. Harmful speech that may have been
sexist, racist, or hateful.
All in all, I seek oneness with my
God, with my people, with my broth
ers and sisters, and with myself.
In peace,
Wayne X (Hodges)

pleased with their organization and at
tendance. Student Activities Council
worked diligently to provide our stu
dents with the best Homecoming pos
sible. That I think they did. Because
of the overwhelming success of this
year’s events, particularly the concert,
a renewed sense of pride and morale
is evident. I surmise that students have
placed and will continue to place a
newer, greater confidence in the Stu
dent Activities Council and the Stu
dent Government Association.

Liberation ^
from page 16
So you must ask yourself: What am I
to do in the midst of such an institur
tion if indeed I do want to do right?
First, you must acknowledge and ad
mit that you are being miseducated.
Second, instead of fighting the system,
you must take from the system and uti
lize what is useful to liberation and toss
out that which is destructive to libera
tion. Thirdly, you must, independent
of the institution, diligently seek the
information which will liberate you.
The tasks, and duties of the real free
dom fighters are arduous, but if you.
are truly sincere about the journey, you
will gladly welcome the work. The
end result will be a mind set that is fo
cused and unwavering upon the libera
tion of African people. As a starting
point, look for work from the follow
ing people: Haki Madhubuti, Dr. Amos
Wilson, Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Ayi
Kwi Armah, Wola Soyinka, Chinua
Achebe, Marcus Garvey, Drusilla
Dunjee Houston, Pauline Elizabeth
Hopkins, Tony Martin. Study the na
tion-states of Africa, past and present.
Study cooperative economics, Egyp
tian (Khemetic) science and traditional
religions (Yoruba, Akan, etc.). The
wealth of information you are not be
ing taught is what you will need for
AWO (African World Order).
