FSU gave notice to students concerning the increase in tuition months ago. It was not until recently that students began coming for ward about the increase and what it means to them. “I do not think that they did the right thing. Sometimes the administration looks over the heads of the students instead of straight in the face. Showing them that this means some thing to us all hopefully will bring change,” commented sophomore, Darius Robinson. The president of the political science club, Jared Gibson, was greeted with cheers and applause when he appeared before the club and interested onlookers. The march got off to a slow start with few participants. As the march continued through campus, the par ticipant count continued to grow to more than a few dozen students. Protestors picked up students from all areas of the campus all wanting to tell the administration what they thought. The march gained even more momen tum once it reached the Student Center and those involved started the petition that was to be hand delivered to Chancellor Anderson. Chants such as “We are Fayetteville State. We will fight for our rights.” echoed between the buildings drawing attention firom those around. Onlookers of the march, Ashley Leary and Ashley Hollins, both students are currently residents of Honors Hall said that they “do not feel safe at all.” Ms. Leary and Ms. Hol lins both said that they feel threatened by the recent robbery that occurred at Honor’s Hall on Nov. 8. And being that it is so close to home, students feel that the administra tion should provide more security for the dorms, such as having more security guards stationed at all entrances to dorms around campus. Once the march reached the Barber build ing where the Chancellor’s office is located, the crowds chanting brought out a few mem bers of the administration, including Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Jon Young, Vice Chancellor of Student Af fairs, Dr. Janice Haynie, and Director of Pub lic Relations, Jeffrey Womble. Dr. Haynie and Dr. Young spoke briefly with participants of the march and informed them that they were welcomed and encour aged to come to all forums and meetings, whether on campus or not. Local news crew Channel 14, showed up to shoot the student-led protest. FSU campus police were present in case the protestors got out of hand. One of the protestors, Andy Andrews, was issued a ticket for disorderly conduct in which Mr Womble had to sign before being issued. The movement was heard from all areas of the campus. Mr. Andrews stated “Peaceful protest was all we wanted. We feel as though this march should light a fire up underneath all the stu dents at Fayetteville State because it affects everyone here.” VISION CENTHl A N«X)NAL VSWN EYECARE LOCATED ONUf IN WAL-MART Paul Gullotti Store Manager 1550 Skibo Rd.
