President Says
Habari Gani! (What’s the
good News?!) It is in the spirit of
community that I come to you.
I’m very h^py with
the progress of the
Black Student
Movement thus far,
but our work has just
begun.
Brothers and
sisters, we havea great
commitment to each
other, that begins
with a look at self.
We must continue to
be our brothers’ and
sisters’ keeper.
Whether we know it
or not, all we have is
each other, so that
support nust be there
daily.
We have just
finished officially
celebrating the great
Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. and his
contributions toward
promoting social
change. WELL ITS
TIME TO MAKE THAT
instead we must insist upon that
which is deserved. The retention
and recruitment of black faculty.
staff and students MUST increase.

that will be used for educating the
campus community on the
intellectual, social
and cultural
contributions of
African Americans.
By knowing the
experience, you
begin to know
yourself.
This has been a
struggle for several
years. These things
and others cannot
be accomplished
unless we work as a
community of
intellectually and
culturally skilled
individuals.
We should be a
proud people, for
the record shows
we are the sons and
daughters of kings
and queens.

Junior Wins
By Sharilyn Seale
Ink Staff Writer
The recipient of the 10th Annual Martin Lulher King Award for the j
1992 year is Cassandra Caldwell, a 21-year-old junior from Hope |
Mills, majoring in Speech Communications and minoring in African- :
American studies. !
“It is a wonderful award because it is based on service to the i
university community,” Caldwell said. “(The award) can only benefit
the university since it promotes leadership on campus.”
When asked if blackstudents were keeping the dream alive, Caldwell
said, “African-American students are not keeping the dream alive
because they are not working to their fullest poiential on campus. More
students need to seek leadership positions on campus to empower other
African-American students.”
Caldwell is a resident assistant, minority advisor, the information |
coordinator for the Carolina Week by Week and a member of Della
Sigma Theta sorority. Her outside interests include cooking and
working with the 4-H Qub to help revise the public speaking
curriculum.
The MLK scholarship is awarded to a junior by the Office of the
Vice-Chancellor for University Affairs. The original award amount of
$1(X) has since been increased to $500. Students are nominated by
faculty members or may nominate themselves. All nominees are then
sent applications. They must submit an essay, a list of their activities,
two letters of recommendation and a resume. Students are chosen based
on academic excellence and their service to the university campus.
Amie Epps and Christy Hale were the two other finalists.
