A&T started as a program at Shaw University to cater to blacks. On March 9, 1891, the state established A&M College Homecoming for the colored races. It was not 200 until 1915, that the legislature changed the name to Agricultural and Technical College. A&T started with fourteen acres ofland and $11,000 from the city of Greensboro. Since then, the campus has increased in size as well as population. Justin Ramey, the SGA President, was the keynote speaker at the Founder's Day cel- ebration. This made him the first student ever to speak at the convocation "I come to you on behalf of my generation in the strength of youth; the youth that listens to the learning tradition and gain- ing the knowledge and wisdom ofour ancestors, both past and present," Ramey said in his speech Throughout his speech he encouraged the black communi- ty not to become "complacent and content" with where they are now. He constantly remind- ed the audience oftheir ances- tors. Ramey referenced famous Aggies such as the Greensboro Four and Ronald McNair. He said that Aggies have the power to do anything possible. The program was filled with influential Aggies. Miss A&T Anisah Rasheed greeted the audience "Our university was founded on the principles of academic excellence, scholarship, self- respect and great tradition," she said. DeLores Todd, the athletic director, acknowledged athletes and their achievements during the celebration.

Other than the fashion show, the highlight ofmy week was the concert, and even that could've been better. Ifit wasn't for the networking that I didbackstage, I would have loved to have stayed at home and watched Family Guy. Although I did get some good gossip while I was backstage and met all the performers, it still wasn't enough to say, "This is a homecoming toremember!" I guess because I'm an old head, I'm used to a week packed with activities and anticipation. The fact that the alumni concert and step show was on the same night and at the same venue, was beyond me. But ifmy mem- ory serves me correctly it was usually Tuesday- Comedy Show Wednesday - Coronation Thursday - Fashion show Friday -Step Show Saturday - Concert Maybe that's just me. Oh yeah, what happened to our comedy show? I guess Diddy is the official A&T homecoming comedy show sponsor now. Or is he? I Guess there's nothing wrong with change. But when change warrants confusion is when I, along with most of the studentbody, have a problem. PHOTOS BY MIKE MCCRAYAND CANDRAWHITLEY Let's just say that, for me, Homecoming 2005 was a bust.
