Pedestrian Lighting Improvements
Contractors began installing new pedestrian lighting along the
sidewalk between the new Sci-Tech Building, rear of Rosenthal
Building, and extending to the courtyard at the J. Knuckles Science
Building on March 19. The university is hoping that the lighting
installation will be completed by the end of April. Please be cautious
and obey all posted signs or barricades as you move through the
area during the next few weeks.
To assist with confusion about this area, the lighting improvement
has been added to the construction map on page 16. Any specific
questions or concerns regarding this project can be directed to
Chuck McGoogan in FSU Facilities Management at (910) 672-1977.
Stormvi^ater & Parking Improvements
Contractors began installing a new stormwater containment
system and making improvements in the parking lot area in front
of the Nursing Education and Research Center and behind the
Continuing Education Building. Phase One of the new stormwater
containment system project will be in the area behind the parking
lot and Phase Two will be the actual parking lot. Due to this
construction, the parking lot by the NERC building will be closed.
The university has temporarily agreed to allow parking on the Band
practice field.
Any specific questions or concerns regarding this project can be
directed to Harold Miller in FSU Facilities Construction at (910) 672-

independence and education.
With encouraging words and anecdotes,
Saunders presented the audience with elabo
rate tales of failure, disappointment and re
newal, which have all played a major role in
her success story. While remaining poised
and firm, she challenged young women to
remember their inner selves and expound on
the virtue that has been allowed to them.
Trending Topics: Kony 2012
BySMrieyTmmsend
On March 5, Jason Russell aired the
Kony2012 YouTube. The production imme
diately went viral and received attention on
Twitter, Facebook, and the national news.
The Kony2012 is partnered with a foundation
called “Invisible Children.” The foundation
and movement both strive to help the brutal
violence and kidnapping of Ugandan chil
dren to be soldiers in the Lord's Resistance
Army, which is allegedly organized by rebel
leader Joseph Kony. The movement raises
awamesss by using a campaign strategy and
wearing t-shirts with Joseph Kony's face of
it. The YouTube video, which tells children's
horror stories about the LRA and the strate
gies used to catch Kony, received more than
38 million hits on YouTube and trended on
Twitter with the hash tag #StopKony.
Although the production was an eye opener
to many individuals in the United States, the
people of Uganda were not pleased with the
production, according to A1 Jazeera reporter
Malcom Webb on NYDailyNews.com.
“For many people here, the video is sim
ply puzzling,” Webb says in his video report.
“It contains footage of an American man, his
son, and it documents events that happened
here, in northern Uganda, years ago,” NY-
DailyNews.com published.
Many critics in Uganda and the U.S. have
posted videos and stated their opinions on so
cial networics about the factual inaccuracy of
the Kony2012 YouTube video production.
“I first became aware of the movement on
Twitter. I noticed immediately that there were
some things that did not add up in the situ
ation," Fayetteville State University senior
Alyssa Debonair stated
Dr. Beatrice Mpora, the director of a com
munity health organization in Uganda, told
the Telegraph that the video “can cause more
problems than help us. There has not been a
single soul fi'om the LRA here since 2006,”
she said. “Now we have peace. People are
back in their homes. They are planting their
fields. They are starting their businesses. That
is what people should help us with,” the NY-
DailyNews.com published.
“It is important that we as youth research
things that go on in the world. I am glad 1
did my research before I fully supported the
Kony2012 movement,” Debonair stated.
New look for student email
By Sliiriey Townsend
The student email has been updated. Fay
etteville State University is no longer using
Wmdows Live email format, instead the new
Microscoft Outlook Web App has been im
plemented. Although the change took place
to help expand accessibility, students have
had both negative and positive opinions of
the change.
"I hate it. It fi-eezes a lot," said Sophomore
Gabrielle Braswell.
When students access their email they will
not only see a change in the email format, but
they will also see a difference in the way they
receive emails.
"I like the new look of the new email, but
it has poor mobile quality," said Freshman
Chelse Hunter.
The Voice contacted the ITTS Helpdesk
and was not given any information concern
ing students grievences about how to main
tain the new student email program.
Sophomore Aaron Williams has discovered
a possible way for students to access the new
email system through their phones. Unfortu
nately, Williams' method only works for An
droid and iPhone users.
