Extra funding and job opportunities for students upon gradu- ating are some ofthe benefits of this project. "Ifit gives more job opportunities to graduates, I support it," Malia Brown, junior, said. After hearing the presentation from Merrill, the A & T's Board ofTrustees accepted the resolu- tion which itwill bring back to the board at the September meeting.

Fobbs: I think it's a great move for Winston Salem. I know their excited about it. The 100 BEST conference has really looked into it. It has thought about expan- COMPANIES^ sion long before and so it could TO WORK FORc^ be aplus for us.

Ignasiak: Do you think this will become a rivalry for A&T?

Fobbs: I'm probably sure it will be. It is a school thatI'm sure we have played in the past. It's being named the 1-40rivalry. I'm pretty sure it will get heated up pretty good.

Ignasiak: What is your outlook for the season in its entirety?

Fobbs: To continue to make strides in the right ways; improving our team, improving our team through recruiting, teach fundamentally, improve each game, game-by-game, and with a little luck maybe get one or two

Ignasiak: How has recruiting been?

Fobbs: Its been okay at this point in time. And of course we still have to continue to turn up the heat as far as that is con- cerned. But as far as coming in the time frame thatI came in and withthe staff. We are very pleased with the guys we have coming in this year.

Ignasiak: Do you have any prized recruits to talk about?

Fobbs: Craig Carter (from Burlington); we are very excited about him. I think Carter is the type ofkid that can come in and offer some timefor us this year. He was the state champion in the shot put. Nick Clemmons, defensive back

Ignasiak: Was there any progress made at camp?

Fobbs: We got our system in, which is very good. Offensively and defensively, I was very pleased with the kicking game. And we really helped ourselves with the two signees. Brad Barnhouse, We are very excited about him. He is from (Charlotte) Independence. Trey Green was very impressive at fullback.

Ignasiak: What would you say to those that say that there are no seniors to lead the team?

Fobbs: That is probably right to a certain extent where we got to develop some leaders. When you have a young football team; that is pretty much the case. You know you have to develop some leaders on that squad. We have several kids are of capable filling tNST &Young llp QualityIn Everything We Do those shoes.
