Page 8 The News-Argus Brice Twins Enjoy Playing Football Together by Kelley Goodman Staff Writer How many of you have heard the old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together?” Well this saying holds true if you look at the 1992 Rams Offensive Line because of its new weapons, “The Terrible Two”, freshmen Mike and Malik Brice. Mike and Malik, are from Hampton, Va., where they attended Kecoughtan High School. While in high school, the brothers excelled both in the classroom and on the gridiron. Malik received All- District Honors his senior year while playing guard, and Mike played tackle. Hampton University, Delaware State University and Virginia State University had been looking at the twins while they were scholastic Malik Brice Mike Brice football players. But as fate would have it, Gary Smith, WSSU’s offensive line coach received a highlight tape which showed the brother’s playing talents. This tape and their talents caught the eyes of the coaching staff. Head Coach Pete Richardson offered scholarships to Malik and Mike and the rest is history. Arriving at WSSU, the football team’s “never-die” attitude helped the brothers adapt to the long, grueling pre-season practices and all of the other struggles freshman must endure getting adjusted to college life. “It’s very different playing college football,” explained Mike. “In college almost everyone on the team is good. In high school usually there are fewer good players.” The Brice brothers must be good, because they have won spots in the Rams starting line-up. Mike plays left tackle and Malik plays right guard. Mike and Malik have plans to continue being athletes and scholars now that they are members of WSSU’s Class of 1996. “It’s hard to be a Ram! The harder things get here at WSSU, the harder we will work,” explained Malik. Their plans after graduating from WSSU include attaining more education. Malik plans to pursue a law degree; while Mike also plans to go to graduate school and later start his own business. The future of the twins looks very bright, and with “The Terrible Two” handling things up on the front line for the Ram’s offense the light will continue to shine on the Ram football team. Students Must Learn To Use Credit Wisely by Micheal Harris Contributing Writer In this wonderful world of credit a person can charge anything from concert tickets to clothes. However, depending on our self-control, credit cards can prove to be a blessing - or a curse. Credit cards are a privilege to those individual who can manage them effectively. In addition to being a convenient alternative to cash, plastic money grants one the freedom to spend or to temporarily extend one’s buying power. In order to effectively use credit cards, it is necessary that one understands how credits work. Buy Now and Pay More (later) is high price for any one to pay especially the college student. The interest which accompanies the credit purchase, is it worth the additional price in the long run? Think about it., if you’re going to spend $100 for a meal (with a credit card that has a 18 percent interest rate), in one year that meal will cost $118. In addition to the high price of interest, there is the risk of over spending and the inability to pay bills on time. The long term affects are a bad credit record and the price of ownership of tangible property in the future at least seven years after graduation. A college student who is abusing the privilege of a credit card is eliminating their dreams of owning a home, land and other luxury items Buy Now and Pay More is a high price that many students pay. Living Large today with a cr^it card could rob you of future dreams.
