No Strings Please It was brought out last year in a publicly announc ed audit that A&T has quite a few problems or weak spots in its business office in accounting for all or some of its funds. Since that time a lot of positions have been switch ed, a few people have been fired, and a few hired to get the university's financial problem cleared up. A lot of changes were made and these changes seem to have the whole university staff, faculty and ad ministration, and auxiliary personnel sitting on pins thinking that their positons are going to be the next to get cut. Whenever new people are brought into an organization or join the staff, it usually takes them a while to get adjusted to the way things operate; but, in this case, it seems that the shoe is on the other foot, and the university is getting a pretty sour taste of the way these new people operate.
