Baldiga said while “Dead Man Walking" is a theatrical work, it is capable of bringing light to very real and pertinent issues. “First, it is high quality theater. Theater gives us the opportunity to see ourselves, our society through a different lens, and this is impor tant." he said. “Second, it is not very expensive. Third, our community needs a story like this one."

BUSINESS FROM PAGE 3 than 10 percent. “In most market conditions that's just business growth oppor tunity." Bassett said. The student body can have its greatest influence on downtown development by simply visiting the stores, Robustelli said. “Students have an incredible power in terms of what businesses they frequent." he said. “Certainly if students aren't visiting, the busi ness will fail." Raynor has other plans for downtown, including instituting a bus route that will connect down town Chapel Hill and Carrboro. “I want to create more interac tion between those two places," she said. “If you're a female student and it's eight at night, it's really dark, and a bus would be safer." Transportation Director Steve Spade said he’s been working with Raynor to determine how much this project would cost. “It’s a good idea, but I think that when you get into budget consid erations there's so much more to be considered than a good idea." Spade said. ‘1 think that at the end of the day, we ll have something out there that provides students better options than what they already have." Contact the City Editor at ritydcsk(ti une.edu.

Jesse Jackson after getting the audience to rise to its feet, "somebody. I am somebody" As Jackson finished his state ment, the crowd echoed his affir mation. Thursday's high-energy speech was held as part of a series of events celebrating the official installation of Donald Reaves as Winston- Salem State University's chancel lor today. Jackson’s keynote address was advertised as a discussion about the role of historically black col leges and universities. However, the reverend preached in his signature bom bastic style and soon found him self off topic. “I came because it’s Jesse Jackson, but he didn’t really talk about HBCUs," said Corderro Jones, a junior communications major at Winston-Salem State. "Although, it was a very inspira tional speech." Indeed. Jackson garnered much applause and shouts of “Amen!” throughout his talk as he covered many subjects during the 30 min ute speech. The topics included his time working with Martin Luther King Jr., the expired assault weapon ban, racial inequality still pres ent in the school system, the cur rent economic recession and the upcoming November election. “They arc the conduits through which a more mature America can speak," Jackson said, prais ing the Democratic presidential candidates. “If you are sitting here unregis tered to vote, you are a silly, walk ing. talking contradiction." Although his only discussion of HBCUs was at the beginning of his speech. Jackson did offer praise of his alma mater. N.C. Agricultural &• Technical State University. At; , DTH/MEGAN FINGER The Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke to a crowd of students, faculty and alumni at Winston-Salem State University as part of a student forum event. “Back then, there was a little America, and it wasn't led by UNC. N.C. State or Harvard —but North Carolina A&T. fighting for racial equality, and we made the country a better place," Jackson said. He also welcomed Reaves to his post. Reaves took up his official duties in August. In addition. Jackson encour aged the young leaders in the audience to become more socially aware and to continue the fight against racial inequality, and he offered advice for college students with credits cards and debt. “A college student with a credit card but no job equals disaster." ahr Satlif (Ear Hrrl Jackson said. Alonzo Turner, a junior com munications student at Winston- Salem State, said he advocated alongside Jackson at the Jena 6 rally in Louisiana in September. Turner said that he was in the same hotel as Jackson and that it was an experience he will never forget. He also said Jackson's speech was relevant, despite being off the advertised topic. “While he did not talk about the state of HBCUs. he did discuss the state of America in regards to the upcoming election," Jones said. “It was very inspirational, espe cially for our age group. W’e can be very instrumental in the election process."
