Take Stock In America

Fellow students, have you taken stock in America? Well, if not. it's still not too late to do so this year. Let's all go and register. We should all register to vote now, and stop putting it off until another day which never seems to get here. Through the years Blacks have not voted because of intimidation, grandfather clauses, poll taxes, and various other laws created by whites to keep Blacks out of politics. After our ancestors struggled so hard for the rights that we have today, we.as youngpeople, are throwing it all away by not even attempting to register and vote. Are we so blind on drugs and high on disco music that we fail to realize the price that was paid for * * Black enfranchisement'' ? The reason that young Blacks aren't registered is three-fold: mainly because we aren't exposed to that many Blacks active in local, state or national politics and because more than likely our family members Dining Can Be Fun? did not vote and finallybecause,as Blacks,we can't see the government working for us. What we see is dilapidated housing in the Black Sheila A. Williams community, dirty streets, no playgrounds, Blacks on slowly becoming unbearable. welfare, and we know that Blacks are the majority of Juniors and seniors must now dine in Brown Hall, and sometimes the food It is unnecessary that one must sit the unemployed in the U.S. These are all true:but, if under another's elbows to eat, when we ever expect to make a change in any of the things that must be consumed is not worth waiting in long lines which stretch out­ space problem could be alleviated by that we see are wrong and know exist, we must first placing the overload in Williams register and vote. side the cafeteria doors.

A lot of people are going around asking questions' about the decisions being made inside the athletic department. The biggest question being asked is, why the job of athletic director fell into the hands of Coach Jim McKinley instead of the assistant, former Coach Hornsby Howell. Once again, I have been asked these questions. Well, to get things a little clear, I am the sports editor of the A&T Register, the school's newspaper.
