Crowded field vies for N.E. seat Primary election for City Council is Tuesday BY T. KEVIN WALKER THE CHRONICLE Tuesday, voters in the Northeast Ward will go to the polls and choose the Democrat that they want to represent them on the City Council. The winner will face no opponents in the November general elec tion. Here is a profile of each of the people running in the race. Carl Matthews used the 90 seconds allotted to political candidates during last week's CHANGE meeting to tell the nearly 200 people gathered in Union Chapel Baptist Church why he doesn't care for Mayor Democrats Sam Davis (from left ), Carl Matthews , Rasheed Bey and Vivian Burke are hoping for a win Tuesday. Pro Tempore Vivian Burke, the woman he hopes to replace on the City Council. Telling it as he sees it has always been Matthews' style. That worked well for him more than 40 years ago when he led a group of students from Winston-Salem State and Wake Forest in a series of sit ins that eventually led to the integration of downtown lunch counters. But in politics - where vot ers tend to favor candidates who play nice - Matthews' in your-face style may be an acquired taste. At the meeting. for example, there was a gasp or two from the audience when Matthews mentioned Burke - who was sitting just a few feet away from him. But Matthews See Northeast on A9 Black, Male and Feminist Duke professor talks hip-hop and sexual politics at WSSU BY T.KEVIN WALKER THE CHRONICLE He was raised by a self-assured, spirited mother and is the father of two adolescent daughters, so Mark Anthony Neal says it is only nat ural for him to be a "black male feminist." Tiffany Richmond wars the Miss WSSU crown. He shares many of the qualities of traditional feminist. He believes in equal rights for women, relates to their plights for respect and dignity in a male-dominated world, and makes a point of speaking out about the many inequities they face. It seemed like the only time that Neal did anything remotely close to denigrating women was when he popped a CD into his car stereo sys tem. ' Born and bred in Brooklyn, Neal is a self-proclaimed child of hip-hop. His favorite artists include fellow Brooklynites Mos Def and the late Notorious BIG, whose discography includes songs like "Me & My B**ch. Neal has come to the realization that some ot the music he loves would turn the stomach ot a true-blue fem inist. "The reality was that I was just a feminist on paper." Neal , an asso ciate professor of black popular culture at Duke University, told more than 200 Winston-Salem State University students. He came tojhe school's campus last week to deliver the latest lec ture in the university's Joseph N. Patterson Series.

KEVIN WALKER THE CHRONICLE Alumni of Winston-Salem State University will be work ing to encourage their fellow alumni to contribute financial ly to their alma mater. Officials announced the plan Sat urday on campus during a kickoff celebra tion for t h e school's alumni capital c a m - paign. A goal of Hart $1,892,000 has been set for the campaign. The amount is symbolic: WSSU was founded in 1892. "Our commitment to the capita] campaign is going to be more than lip service," said National Alumni Association President Catherine Pettie Hart. "We are stepping for ward boldly and proudly to show you the money." The alumni campaign is part of the school's overall capital campaign that hopes to raise $35 million by 2007. The capital campaign has already secured about $16 million. Saturday marked the pub lic phase of the alumni cam paign. A silent phase has already raised $1.3 million of the $1,892,000. But alumni say the public phase will be most challenging because most of the alums who want to give have already done so. Many of those who have already contributed will be recruited to be so-called "class agents," who will lobby other alumni to open their check books. One argument that c^ss agents will use to convMie others to give is WSSU's tremendous growth in the last Sec Alumni on AIO Seniors food program works to keep 'wheels' turning Photo by Kevin Walker Carl Dunlap hands Inez Southerland her lunch on Friday .
