I-A decision disappoints
The uproar has quieted and the dust has settled following Tuesday’s decision by the University’s Board of Trustees to delay the move to Division I-A. Now students and administrators are left with questions and disappointment. “This decision is a big letdown …,” said Rashaund King, a history education student from […]
FAMUPD nabs bomb suspect
After a thorough investigation of the Feb. 4, Tucker Hall bomb threats, FAMU Police Department made an arrest. Joel Floyd was arrested late Tuesday afternoon for calling in a bomb threat to the FAMUPD, which shut down Tucker Hall for two hours. “I am innocent until proven guilty,” said Floyd, […]
Attendance not crucial to success
For some reason it is difficult for me to make it to my first class every day. No matter what time it is being held, 7:05 a.m. or 11:15 a.m., it is always a struggle. But once I get started for the day I’m generally in attendance, unless I get […]

Nomad artists travel to limelight
Wandering through a gallery of rendered waterscapes, moon-reflected inlets, country marshes and views of pastel sunsets, it’s uncanny to believe that the creators of such works were initially denied access to Florida’s galleries. In turn, the eight black landscape painters, dubbed by the media as the Highwaymen, would caravan across […]
Service cuts kill appetites
Hungry? Why wait? Because the Orange Room is no longer the one-stop-shop it used to be. After not being open the first two full weeks of school, the Orange Room finally opened for business the last week of January. However when I entered the facility, I was surprised by the […]
Debating the big decision
If you keep on doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting. Obviously, the seven members of the Board of Trustees who voted against the groundbreaking move to NCAA Division I-A completely disregarded this tidbit of wisdom. “It’s absolutely a setback for the university and […]
