This campaign was launched in 1982, which was her major initiative as first lady. The campaign led to a drug enforcement bill signed by former Presi dent Reagan, on October 27, 1986. “She had good intentions with the cam paign because the enforcement on drugs was taking more seriously,” said Shabazz Davis, a freshmen Theatre major. Barbara Bush promoted literacy. In 2008, she announced a $2 million grant to promote literacy around the world. In 2012, she will award approximately $650,000 in grants. She is still impacting the U.S. Hillary Clinton sought to reform the healthcare system.

TV Studio, Telecommunications Building MASCULINITY from page 2 FSU junior Bridneyona Arrington is happy that black men have Obama to look up to now as a positive role model. “Growing up without a father figure in many households, black men sometimes look to athletes or rappers as role models who often take misogyny to the extreme and skew their views on how they should behave,” said Miss. Bridneyona. President Obama has a story that is sim ilar to a lot of black men in America. He grew up without knowing his father and was subsequently raised by a single moth er. He went on to get an education from the most prestigious university in the country. Harvard University. He went from having a hole in the bottom of his car to the Presi dent of one of the most powerful nations in the world. These new-found expectations for Afri can-American men to conduct themselves with more dignity, poise, and ambition will be beneficial to both the African American men, but also to their image in the eyes of others. The outlook is definitely surmy. WHAT’SGOINGON? Natiofiai Chemistry Week What: A chance to learn more about student organizations in the sciences and talk to faculty.
