A Bronco’s Win?
b^J(elvin^^^
This year’s Homecoming was a
successful endeavor if you believe that
it’s not whether you win or lose, but
it’s how you play the game. Tuesday’s
entertainment, sponsored by the Stu
dent Activities Council, was Bronco
Feud. If you missed this event because
you were too busy studying, you
should know that Bronco Feud is a
spin-off from the family television
version of the game “Family Feud.,,
Of course, a few modifications were
made in order better to suit the
Fayetteville State Campus Commu
nity.
While the T.V. show was produced
on a sound stage in front of a live au
dience, our production was in the mul
tipurpose room of the Rudolph Jones
Student Center. It served quite nicely
for our purposes. The teams, equipped
with brains and buzzers, were as
sembled on both sides of the room.
Each team knew that only one team
would be victorious; therefore, they
scrambled for answers to the survey
questions on the board. “What is the
best place to have sex on campus?,, and
“What are foods that you put hot sauce
on?,, are examples of the kinds of ques
tions asked by the announcer. One can
see that the questions asked spanned a
wide range of student activities.
Pulses quickened, and agile thumbs
remained ready to pounce upon the
buzzers’ buttons as the last question
was asked. “What things are found in
a good stuff box?,, The girls of Joyner
Hall won the whole she-bang! They
were awarded trophies and posed for
pictures that will undoubtedly end up
in the yearbook in some form or fash
ion.
The teams seemed to have all
played fairly. If anyone deserves to be
paddled, it’s the audience. They didn’t
jeer any of their fellow Broncos, but
they continually yelled out answers to
questions on the board. This discour
tesy made
thejudges of
the competi
tion throw
out ques
tions and
post new
ones. Over
all, the
whole crowd
had fun. One
question was
offered to
the SAC;
“Where did you get the answers,,?
They came from you. When the stu
dents were polled by the SAC, the top
five answers were the only ones used.
If your answer was not chosen, then
you should know that it was not one
frequently used by the respondents.
The student body’s presence at
such functions is greatly appreciated.
It renews a faith that SAC is planning
activities that the students can enjoy.
Capel Complex
by Deitric Davis and Yolanda Barnes
“Have you been in the new gym?,,
is one question that you can hear in
almost any conversation on campus.
As I heard the answer “NO,, repeated
over and over, I felt it necessary to take
a look see for my fellow Bronco’s (and
myself). I took a tour of the facilities
and then had the opportunity to talk to
Dr. Bums afterwards.
Hopefully you will be encouraged
to go and take a look at what you have
paid for.
Just between you and me I think
those stairs on the outside are a deter
rent, but I decided there is nothing to
stop me from going inside. I opted for
the ground floor entrance. As we
toured the building, Deitric showed me
the nice classrooms, basketball court
(with the big Red NC State in the
middle of the floor... go figure?). As
we continued through our first floor
tour, he showed us the dance room
(with mirrors to see every plie) and the
weight room with equipment to make
any pecks BUFF! (By the way, who
ever needed to work their pecks out so
bad that they stole the weights, you
don’t have to be embarrassed, your
pecks can’t be that bad.) We didn’t
forget the Olympic size swimming
pool with a special diving board just
to practice your diving skills, there is
space provided for lap Swimming
(equipped with clocks and cameras)
and don’t forget the fact the it is
HEATED! I was impressed by the
High-Tech classrooms, and the layout
of the building (except the outside
stairs). This is the start of a new era in
FSU sports.
There are so many positive things
that come along with this new Physi
cal Education Complex that will meafi
so much to our university and the com
munity at large.
Just what kind of things are pos
sible with this addition of a new gym
? First and foremost is the fact that it
is now possible to have more crowd
participation than ever. During the
basketball and volleyball games, the
gym can seat up to 4,000 people and
for a graduation or a concert, up to
5,000. Just imagine having that many
screaming Broncos in one place.
That’s my idea of a Blue Heaven. In
the new era of “Bronco Pride,,, we can
support a wider variety of sports, such
as of track, and swimming. The possi
bility of a track team is on the table as
we speak, and a swimming team is
something to look forward to in the
next few years.
Now that we have the facilities, we
need people to work in this facility.
Simply the administration will call it
a day at 5 O’clock as Dr. Bums ex
plained. Eventually they will be hir
ing students to work in the new gym
at night. The responsibility of the up
keep of this building will fall on us.
So at 5 O’clock when they open the
building for recreational purposes and
the administration goes home, they can
sleep well with the fact that they will
have a building to retum to, in the same
fashion that they left it in (minus a few
weights. HINT! HINT!). This will
mean a paycheck, if not a bigger pay
check for somebody’s child. In my
opinion. This is one of the best oppor
tunities for a source of new jobs on
campus. To the gym up and mnning
to a point where we can all benefit
from it, there is a need for people who
are able to do work study. The times
vary from 8-5 for classes, and 5-10 for
recreation. This will make it possible
for students to use the facility not only
for class time, but also for recreation.
This new gym is a positive addition to
our campus in any way you look at it.
For those people who would like
to know where their collected 10.8
million dollars went, I’d suggest you
mn over to the gym NOW (na...wait,
finish reading this first). I do believe
you get what you pay for (minus the
water damage to the tiles in the ceil
ing of the conference room across from
the secretary’s office), and you take
care of what you pay for, because
you’ve worked hard to get it. So in
other words, we have this new gym,
let’s put it to positive use. To expand
and command attention in a new era
in Fayetteville State History.
