Whether it was intentional or not, moving the Ying Yang Twins segregated a portion of the campus from the main Homecoming activities, and an even worse public image has been created. While it’s true that the audience of the Ying Yang Twins is not only black, this decision does in effect remove many of the black students from the Quad during the Homecoming festivities. What’s more, the step show put on by the traditionally black fraternities and sororities will take place disjointed from most of campus near the same field where the Ying Yang Twins will perform. And did we mention the bonfire on the Quad was scheduled for the same time as the step show? Whoever made that move, it wasn’t the smartest for bringing the different cultural groups together on this campus for Homecoming. We’re pretty certain the administration had no idea there would be this level of backlash, and we’re not accusing them of being blatantly racist. But their deci- sion is being perceived that way by a lot of people and they shouldn’t have expected anything less. People remember the University of an era not too long ago. They remember the Stand in the School House Door, the slave quarters behind the President’s Mansion and how bad race relations have been throughout the last 175 years. It looked like we had reached a point where the Homecoming festivities could be for everybody. Must we Submitted by Kevin Peterson still question that?

Students: employee Noy A STYLE FOR EVERY STORY TM makes campus better BY TERRENCE BETTIS Contributing Writer

Rain, snow, sleet nor hail could keep Bama Dining employee Noy Carter from walking to work everyday. “I like to walk,” she said. “My car is my two legs.” Most people know her sim- ply as Noy, the short woman who works in the dining facility in Mary Burke Hall. During her seven years of working, she has kissed, slapped and even mas- saged countless students, many of whom she calls “baby.” “I love the kids,” she said. “The kids love me, but if they bad I hit them.” Carter arrived in the United States 35 years ago from Bangkok, Thailand. She moved to the United States when she married a man from North Dakota. When she told her father she was leaving, she said he fainted. She has not seen her parents since she left more than three decades ago, because she has not been back to Thailand. CW/ Andrea Mabry “I would like to go back to Thailand, but I have no money, Bama Dining employee Noy Carter sits in Burke Commons in Mary Burke and my passport has expired,” Hall. she said. “I don’t know if my parents are dead or not.

She’s one Denali of the sweetest people you know.” Bonner said he likes that Noy goes out of her way to make herself known to the students. “She’s a simple person living a simple life,” he said. Coworker Gwen Hood shared the same thoughts and as for Noy’s interests described her as an avid swimmer and card player.
