Marvin Graeber, superintendent of buildings and grounds, has pleaded for years for more funds to improve the campus. His requests have fallen on seemingly deaf ears. Do we as students-Black students-really believe the State will appropriate enough funds to make our campus as attractive_as UNC-G's? The answer, fellow Aggies, lies, as the Black Muslims believe, in "doing for self." The Assembly of Organizational Presidents has made a start by helping to clean the campus one day a week. This is not enough. Not until every Aggie begins to put his trash in trash cans, take up his tray, and participate in some program to improve the campus will we be "doing for self." Talking about improving the campus has been like talking about the weather~a lot said and nothing done. Now something is being done, and it is up to the University community as a whole to continue the good work. If A&T could start the sit-in movement, why can't it keep its campus clean? Archives F D.
