Students and faculty representing all areas of FAMU filled the senate chambers to lobby for senate approval of proposed budget allocations for the 2003-2004 school year. Julian White, director of bands, pleaded with senators to approve his request for funding to purchase new instruments. “The instruments are just old and […]

The current war in Iraq was waged too hastily. It is true that Saddam Hussein has committed atrocities, such as gassing the Kurds (a minority people living in Iraq) with Serin 9. Hussein used state sponsored terrorism against Kuwait, to get Kuwaiti oil fields for economic gain. President Bush should […]

Call them the “Comeback Kids,” the “Rallying Rattlers” or what ever you want, the baseball team found a way to win, again by beating Central Florida 12-11 increasing their winning streak to five games. Alcides Segui lined a double in the bottom of the ninth to score Ben Morgan from […]
