Support AASAC Candidates [Ma/ml

B Carol n HollowaStaff Writer

On April 7 and 8, one umbrellaorganization was busy handingAfrikan American students a pam-phlet that would prove to be theendorsement for the organization.That organization, the Afrikan

American Student Advisory Council(AASAC) , once again endorsed,candidates from Student Body pres-ident to Student Senate president —Ricky Livingston for SBP, AlvinSturdivant for Student Body treasur-er, Aimee Smart for Student Centerpresident, and Jim Clagett forStudent'Senate president. .

- Chief Justice AlvinSturdivant reviewsWolfpack Baseball.

Under the motto “One Man, OneVote: A Voteless People is aHopeless People,” AASACendorsed the candidates it feltwould best represent the AfrikanAmerican Student Body based uponeach individuals’ experience, lead—ership and relationship with AfrikanAmerican organizations on campus.

“One Man, One Vote: AVoteless People is a HopelessPeople,” began in 1995 under theleadership of then president DerrickColey. Coley, who continues towork with AASAC believes peoplewho do not vote have “no voice” forthe future.

This silence leads to hopeless-ness, desires and needs unmet, and aconfusion and disillusion as to what

“One Man,One V0te:A V0telessPeople is aHopelessPeople”

each individuals’ purpose is in life.Obi Chuckwu, current vice-chair

of AASAC, further explainedColey’s original campaign organiza~tion, saying “One Man, One Votebegan with the US Constitutionand Afrikan Americans being

counted as three-fifths of a man andconsequently not allowed to vote.This began a long struggle andprocess that was supposed to beguaranteed through theConstitution. The concept is asilent mass movement in which truestrength is multiplied.”

One Man, One Vote meansAfrikan American students areaware as a community that it is vot-ing time and that the candidatesAASAC has endorsed have theirbest interest at heart. Therefore, onApril 14 and 15, AASAC encour-ages Afrikan American students tovote for Ricky Livingston forStudent Body President and AimeeSmart for Student Center President.

Staff ReportThe Nubian Message

Riding the momentum of a serieswin March 28-30 over then fourthranked Florida State and a dramaticcome from behind doubleheadersweep of the Citadel this pastTuesday, the NC. State baseball Hteam continued its winning ways thispast weekend, sweeping a three-game series from arch rival UNC-Chapel Hill at Doak Field and mov-ing into a tie with Clemson for thirdplace in ACC standings. TheWolfpack is now 7-5 in the ACC and26-11 overall

State will look to further solidifyits place in the upper echelon of theleague standings with a three-gameset this weekend against Maryland atDoak. The Terrapins, 13-14 overall,are no longer the league’s doormat.After finishing last in the ACC fivetimes in the past seven years,Maryland is showing very real signs _of a resurgence.The Terps defeated Duke two

games out of three at Jack CoombsField this past weekend, and earlierin the season took two of three from20th ranked Clemson at CollegePark. Maryland is 5-7 in ACC play.

“There are no easy games in theACC,” Wolfpack head coach ElliottAvent said. “Maryland is a very dan-gerous team. They’re playing excel-lent baseball. We’ll have to be at ourbest to beat them, and our kids knowthat. This will be another difficultACC series, but they’re all difficultin the ACC.”The Wolfpack, who defeated the

Tar Heels by scores of 9-8, 12-4 and8-6, has won eight games in a rowafter a lO—game stretch during whichit lost six games. The winning streakis the longest by the Wolfpack since a

lO-game winning streak midwaythrough last season.

“I’m just extremely proud of thisteam and the way they’ve battledback all season,” Avent said. “We’vegot guys banged up with injuries, butthey’ve played through them. Theway we keep coming back game aftergame shoWs the kind of character anddetermination our players have. I’venever been more proud of a team inmy 16 years of coaching.”The key to the winning streak is

simple: offense. During the eight—game winning streak, the Wolfpackhas batted .380 (108-for-284) with 17doubles, four triples and 15 homeruns, and has scored 90 runs (11.25per game).

In the 10 games preceding the cur—rent winning streak, the Pack batted.248 (81—for-326) with 12 doubles,no triples and eight home runs, andscored 49 runs (4.9 per game).The offensive resurgence has been

led by senior catcher/first basemanScott Lawler, who went 8-for-ll inthe UNC series and is batting .593(l6-for-27) with five home runs and -12 RBIs in his last eight games.Sophomore catcher Brad Piercy,

battling a badly pulled groin muscle,got just one at-bat during theWolfpack’s three midweek games,but came back over the weekend tokill the Tar Heels by hitting .467 (7-for-lS) with a double, a home runand five RBIs. Piercy’s two-runhomer in the bottom of the ninthinning won the Friday game, 9-8.

Junior outfielder Jake Weber went5-for-12 (.417) in the UNC series,extending his hitting streak to 16games, the longest streak on the teamthis season. He is batting .419 (26-for-62) during the hitting streak.Senior outfielder Chris Combs went4-for-8 in the UNC series and batted

.524 (1 1-for-21) with three homeruns and eight RBIs in six games lastweek.

Wolfpack Diamond Notes:

The Wolfpack’s comeback from an11-1 sixth-inning deficit in the firstgame of last Tuesday’s doubleheaderagainst the Citadel may well be thegreatest comeback in school history,and it triggered an offensiveonslaught unlike any seen at Doak inrecent memory. Beginning in the bot-tom of the sixth inning of that firstgame, the Wolfpack scored 29 runs infive innings, rolling to a doublehead-er sweep, 17-13 and 16-0.

In that five-inning span, the Packsent 49 men to the plate and batted.629 (22-for-35) with three doubles,three triples and six home runs, twoof them grand slams. The on-basepercentage during those five inningswas .714, and the slugging percent-age was 1.400! Wolfpack hittersdrew 12 walks in the five innings, hitone sacrifice fly and were hit by apitch.

During the five-inning onslaught,the Wolfpack had seven consecutivemen reach base one time, six consec—utive men reach base one time, fiveconsecutive men reach base onetime, and four consecutive men reachbase twice.The Wolfpack sent 16 men to the

plate in the sixth inning of the firstgame, sent 11 men to the plate in thefirst inning of the second game, andthen sent nine men to the plate in thesecond inning of the second game.The Wolfpack continued its come-

back streak Friday night in the firstgame of the UNC series. The TarHeels led 3-0 heading into the bottomof the sixth, but State scored threeruns on a ground-nut by Jeff Butler, a

State Posts Baseball Win Over Carolina

Staff ReportThe Nubian Message

Scott Lawler got the game-win-ning hit with a fifth inning home run,and Clay Eason hurled 5 1/3 shutoutinnings Sunday at Doak Field to leadNC. State to an 8-6 college baseballvictory over Carolina.The win gave the Wolfpack a

sweep of the Tar Heels in the three-game ACC series and improved theWolfpack to 26-11 overall and 7-5 inthe ACC. The Pack is tied withClemson for third place in the con—ference standings. North Carolinadropped to 3-9 in the conference and20—16 overall. Eason improved to 6-0 with the win and dropped his ERAfor the season to 1.00.

Lawler, who went 8-for-ll in theSeries, ripped an opposite-field linedrive home run down the right-field

line to lead off the bottom of the fifthinning and break a 6-6 deadlock. TheWolfpack manufactured an insurancerun later in the inning when DustinBaker walked, stole second, tookthird when Tom Sergio walked andMatt Postell was hit by a pitch, andscored on a wild pitch.The Wolfpack got off to a 1-0 lead

on Jake Weber’s solo home run, hisseventh, but UNC put up a four-spotin the top of the second. Rodney Nyesingled to lead off, and Julian Deanwalked. Jarrett Shearin doubledhome one run, and Mike Bynum dou-bled to drive in two more. The fourthrun of the inning came across on agroundout by Richie Grimsley.The Wolfpack came storming back

with five runs in the bottom of thethird. Tom Sergio led off with a sin—gle and took second on a passed ball,and with one out Weber singledSergio to third. Chris Combs drove in

Sergio with a single, and Brad Piercydrove in Weber with a hit to cut theUNC lead to 4-3. Lawler drew a walkto load the bases, and Stephen Wolffhit a two-run single to put State up 5-4. The final run in the inning camewhen Dustin Baker grounded into aforce play.

That lead vanished in the top ofthe fourth. With Grant Dom on inrelief of Wolfpack starter KurtBlackmon, Bynum doubled with oneout, took third on Clay Hooper’s sin-gle and scored on Grimsley’s sacri-fice fly. Chris LaMarsh walked to putrunners on first and second, andEason was summoned from thebullpen. Brian Roberts tied the gamewith an RBI single to score Hooper.

Eason gave up just two hits therest of the game to nail down the vic-tory for the Wolfpack.

single by Matt Postell and a pinch-hittriple by Craig Lee. The Tar Heelscame right back with four in the topof the seventh to make it 7-3, but thePack got two back on Chris Combs’home run in the bottom of the sev-enth to cut the lead to 7-5.UNC added an insurance run with

two outs in the top of the eighth tomake it 8-5, but Postell hit a solohome run leading off the bottom ofthe eighth to make it 8-6 and set thestage for the bottom of the ninth.Jake Weber led off the ninth with asizzling double down the right-fieldline and scored on Scott Lawler’ssmash single past third base. TheHeels brought in freshman KyleSnyder to face Brad Piercy, and afterfalling behind 0-2, Piercy worked thecount to 2—2 and then belted a homerto deep center field to give State a 9-8 victory.

Four times this season, theWolfpack has fallen behind by fourruns or more as late as the sixthinning and rallied to win.The sweep of UNC was State’s

third in the past six years. TheWolfpack swept the Tar Heels inChapel Hill in 1992, and thenbrought out the brooms again twoyears ago at Doak. Friday night’sgame was State’s 100th win in theseries, and while UNC leads theoverall series 128-102, State holds adecisive edge in recent years.

In the 1990s, the Wolfpack leadsthe series 16-12. Since 1992, thePack holds an even more command-ing advantage of 15-6. State has won10 of the past 13 meetings in theseries.

Senior second baseman TomSergio got four hits and scored tworuns in the UNC series. Sergio nowhas 318 career base hits and hasscored 255 runs, and ranks fourth in

ACC history in both categories.Sergio now needs six hits and 11 runsscored to become State’s all-timeleader in both categories.He needs 34 hits to pass Georgia

Tech’s Jason Varitek (1991-94) as theACC’s all-time hits leader, and heneeds to score 21 more runs to passClemson’s Bert Heffeman (1985—88)and become the ACC leader in runsscored.

Although Sergio got just four hitsin the UNC series, he did reach baseseven times in 16 plate appearances,and continues to be the man who dri-ves the Wolfpack offense. Throughthe first 37 games of the season, Statehas scored 56.7 percent of its runs(173 of its 305) in innings whenSergio has gotten on base. And theWolfpack had scored at least one runin 72 of the lOZ-innings in whichSergio had reached base (he reachedbase twice in one inning).

Sergio has now reached base in 39of his past 67 plate appearances, andfor the season, he has reached base103 times in 173 plate appearances.He leads the team with 50 runsscored and is tied for the team leadwith 12 stolen bases. He has drawn29 walks and struck out just 10 times.

Senior righthander Clay Easoncontinued his dream season with 51/3 innings of three-hit shutout reliefto pick up the win in the series finaleagainst UNC. Eason now is 6-0 onthe season with a 1.00 ERA and asave.He has allowed 21 hits, walked l3

and struck out 48 in 36 innings ofwork. Opponents are batting .169against him. Eason now has allowedno runs on just four hits in his lastthree appearances, covering 8 l/3innings. He got credit for the win intwo of those three games.

NewHorizons’ 20th

B Randall HaddockHealth Editor

On Sunday, April 6, 1997, theNew Horizons Choir at NC. Stateperformed in honor of the its 20thanniversary. The concert, whichwas held in Stéwart Theatre, wasone of the first major eVents to beheld as part of the university’sannual Pan Afrikan Festival.

Black Students Board, the pri-mary sponsor of the festival, usesthis event as a starting point topraise God for allowing AfrikanAmerican students to remaininvolved in the continuation andsuccess of future Pan AfrikanFestivals.

Elder Sheldon V. Bullock, for-mer New Horizons member, servedas Master of Ceremonies. The con-cert began with a devotional, andthe introduction of past and presentchoir members.

The choir, whose specialty lieswith old negro spirituals and con-temporary gospel music, has man-aged to hold the devotion of pastmembers. The alumni of the NewHorizons Choir was present inbountiful numbers at the concert.

Selections such as “Hold On,”“You’ve Been So Good To Me,”and “High Praise” received a mag-nitude of approval from the audi-ence.New Horizons Choir began in

the spring semester of 1977. Muchof the choir’s success comes fromthe unyielding leadership that hasbeen provided by its founder,Eleania B. Ward. Before the stu-dents were to be graced by her pres-

Carolina and the southeasternUnited States. During its first 20years, the choir has engaged innumerous activities includingrecording a live gospel album andparticipation in the American Negro

New Horizons Choirence, there were many failedattempts by students to‘organize agospel choir. However, it wasthrough Ward’s guidance that thechallenge of making the dream areality was met.

The choir has evolved from anall-volunteer group to a fullyaccredited course and has becomecrucial in the recruitment and reten-tion of Afrikan American students.Its members have traveled exten—sively throughout the state of North

4 Reasons to Use K in Afrika0 Most vernacular or traditional languages on the continent spellAfrika with a K; therefore the use of K is germane to us.

0 Europeans, particularly the Portuguese and British, pollutedour languages by substituting C whenever they saw K orheard the K sound as in Kongo and Congo, Akkra andAccra, Konakri and Conakry ~— and by substituting Q wherev~er they saw KW. No European language outside of Dutch andGerman have the hard C sound. Thus we see the Dutch inAzania calling and spelling themselves Afrikaaners. We arenot certain of the origin of the name Afrika, but we are sure thename spelled with the C came into use when Afrikans weredispersed over the world. Therefore the K symbolizes ourcoming back together again.

0 The K symbolizes us to a kind of Lingua Afrikana, coming intouse along with such words and phrases as Habari Gani,Osagyfo, Uhuru, Asante, together constituting one politicallanguage, although coming from more than one Afrikan lan-guage.

0 As long as Afrikan languages are translated (written) into .English, etc., the European alphabet will be used. This is theproblem. The letter K as with the letter C, is part of that'alpha- :bet, and at some point must be totally discontinued and theoriginal name of Afrika be used. The fact that Boers (peasants)in Azania also use the K, as in Afrikaan (to represent the hardC sound) demonstrates one of the confinements of the alpha-bet.

Snacks Improve Health

B Randall HaddockHealth Editor

It is around 4 pm. and you arestarving. Between now and yourdinner time of 7 p.m., you have togive a presentation in one of yourclasses, attend a mandatory floormeeting and tutor someone inCalculus.You know that nothing in the

vending machine within your resi-dence hall can possibly be good foryou nor fill you up. Your stomach iscontinuously growling and soonafter that your head starts throbbing.You know that you need food nowand a bag of potato chips is accessi-ble and offers tremendous tempta-tion.

Such snacks that are high in fatgives snacking between meals a badrap. The United States is a nation offrequent snackers and manufacturerskeep feeding our addiction throughthe introduction of new productsinto the consumer market each year.With this constant barrage of snackitems, Americans keep consumingthem at an alarming rate to the pointwhere snacking threatens to replace

one or more of the three major mealsthat every individual needs.

Even though such high—fatfoodssuch as chocolate and potato chipsdo satisfy the demands that ourstomach may make on us, it isimportant to know that snackingshould not serve as a meal replace-ment. It can serve, though, as anexcellent low-fat source of carbohy-drates.Carbohydrates are the human

body’s most important energysource. Foods that are high in calci-um, iron, and potassium are recom-mended as well. Fruits are excellentsnacks for these particular vitaminsand minerals.

Besides filling nutritional gaps,snacks can also sustain an individu-al’s energy level by stabilizing yourblood sugar level. When your bloodsugar decreases, which can happen ifyou do not eat regularly, it can causeyou to feel tired and fatigued.Snacks can also save individualsfrom becoming too hungry and fromovereating during the next meal.

Most importantly, eating healthysnacks can increase your energy andendurance level during a difficult

Warding Off Allergic

By Randall HaddockHealth Editor

With the arrival of spring alsocomes the arrival of pollen and theallergy season. This light coating ofyellow dust that comes from polli-nating plants is the cause of manyrunning noses, watering eyes andendless sneezing and coughing.

It has been reported that 75 to 85percent of all people are allergic tosome type of inhaled allergenic ele-ment. An allergic reaction in the air-ways can result in immediate block-age, which can lead to brain damagefrom insufficient oxygen supply ordeath.

However, even though there aresome negative aspects to allergiesand their effects, there is treatmentavailable. lmmunotherapy, or aller-gy shots, is one of the main toolsthat physicians use to treat allergies.

Since its inception in the early1900’s, immunotherapy introducessmall amounts of allergens to thebody through injections over a peri-od of time.

You cannot be vaccinated all atonce to rid yourself of the suscepti-bility to an allergic reaction like youcan for a measles or tetanus shot.Instead, it is required that increasingdosage of the allergen be injected toteach the body’s immune system aprotective response versus an aller-gic response. The goal ofimmunotherapy is to change the waythe immune system recognizes anallergen.

At the onset of the injections, thebody sees the allergen as harmful,after a series of shots the bodyshould not respond in that way. Theallergy injections help build resis-tance to things that cause allergicsymptoms, so that an allergic reac-tion is kept to a minimum the next

workout regimen.Snacks, unlike meals, are often

spontaneous and unplanned. It isbecause of this that most people tend'to focus on the calories that are con-sumed during a meal rather thanwhen eating a snack. This negli-gence can cause unforeseen healthproblems such as hypertension, highcholesterol levels and bring aboutinevitable weight gain.

To keep snacks from becomingan unhealthy habit, the one strategya person can develop is to become intune with their eating cycles. Beforeyou snack, you should ask yourselfwhether or not you are hungry.By doing this," you can decrease

the confusion between hunger andthirst. It is suggested that you drinkan 8-ounce glass of water, then wait10 to 15 minutes. If you still feel asif you are hungry, then it is presum-ably safe to go ahead and eat ahealthy snack.

With the implementation ofhealthy snacks into your diet youcan find yourself feeling and lookingbetter, and stop those late-nightcravings and midnight raids on yourrefrigerator.

Reactions

time the body is exposed.Antihistamines are also helpful in

the reduction of the body’s vulnera-bility to allergens.

Researchers believe that there arekey questions that individuals canask to determine the role that aller-gens play in their daily living:

——If you suffer from asthma, doesit occur worse in certain months?—Do you eyes itch or become

red after handling a pet?-——Does your skin become irritat-

ed upon drinking beverages or eat-ing certain foods?

If these questions can beanswered with a “yes”, then it isimportant that a physician be seenfor tests to identify specific aller-gens. Once found, your physiciancan devise a plan to significantlyreduce exposure to the offendingallergens and irritants.

Q: Why does the stomach rumble even though you may seem full?A: Digestion, or sometimes even the anticipation of digestion can

cause the rumbles. The structure of the stomach is lined with muscles.When eating, the nervous system signals the muscles to contract andsqueeze, aiding the food and acids to churn more effectively. Sometimesthe rumbles can be felt or heard even after a big meal.

Qzls there any way possible to keep sore muscles from interferingwith a workout routine?

A: Muscle aches are a common part to any workout regimen. Theyusually last for a day or two before dissipating. The consumption of aspirinor other pain relievers helps reduce the intensity of the soreness in muscles.Pain that occurs after a workout is the result of muscle tissue that has been _broken down to rebuild itself. It is all too possible that improper form dur~ing exercising can also be a contributing factor. It is wise to use these soreareas as guides to improving the mistakes that are being performed during aworkout. If the pain still persists, then it is suggested to reduce the intensityof a exercise routine so that it can remain as productive to the individual asbefore.

Q: Can proteins be used as a source for building stamina andendurance?

A: While proteins and amino acids are the building blocks to an indi-vidual’s diet, they are not recommended to athletes for endurance boosters.The reasoning behind this is that proteins use the excess water within thebody to keep energy levels up. This causes dehydration, fatigue, and slug-gishness. Experts suggest that to prepare for any type of strenuous physicalactivity, an individual should start eating carbohydrates. Pasta, breads,fruits, and vegetables are foods that contain high amounts of carbohydrates. _

Healthy Pleasures

B Randall HaddockHealth Editor

Many people today are concernedabout living longer, feeling better,and having more energy, so there isa continuing demand for adequateadvice on health. However, some-thing seems to be missing from allthe recommendations that healthexperts are giving and that is thevital role of pleasure.

By involving the things that indi-viduals enjoy doing most in theirdaily lives, it gives men and womena new and innovative approach tomanage their health. It has beensuggested that it can be done betterwith less effort and with much morefun.

This method to reaching ahealthy and productive lifestyleguides people through the mazes ofmisconception that can often standin their way of achieving maximumhealth. It offers a feeling of relief toknow that health is not purchased orinsured, but something that occursnaturally from within. There are avariety of practical suggestions onhow to live life in a way that enrich-es a person’s health.

- One pleasurable activity that canbe engaged in to obtain a healthylifestyle is through the use ofrewards. Many Americans, particu-larly those who diet, are constantly

monitoring the foods they consumeso that they do not eat foods that arehigh in calories or fat.

However many experts do sug-gest that it is healthy for dieters toeat high calorie meals and dessertsoccasionally to satisfy a person’s“sweet tooth” and to give the bodythe necessary supply of sugar itneeds to function.

Relaxation training is anotheractivity that can be learned toincrease healthy living. Individualswho live in urban centers often findthemselves stressed and irritated dueto the chaos that usually accompa-

' nies a workday.It is under these circumstances

that people can eventually sufferfrom hypertension or heart disease.Well, what can be done? Try taking15 to 20 minutes out of the workdayand find a quiet space to meditateand cleanse the mind of any impuri-ties or negative droughts that tend tosurface. After doing this, individu-als can continue on- with their daywith renewed vitality and energy.

To become content with their lifeand health, people should under-stand that there are no manual .guidelines or difficult regimens tofollow, but that these practices are tobe approached naturally. It. isbecause of this aspect, that peopleare drawn to the pleasure principlein hopes of increasing their chancesfor maximum health and wellness.

There is a new epidemic sweep-ing through the middle—class AfrikanAmerican community. This newdilemma takes root in the mind andspreads rapidly to the heart and soulof its victims. The effects vary fromperson to person, but the symptomsare still recognizable. Although norecord can be found of how manyvictims it has claimed, new cases arecontinually being confirmed.

The average age of the victimsvaries, but most are highly success-ful Afrikan American men andwomen in their thirties and forties.This makes it a crippling disease toour community because it removesour leadership—age individuals fromtheir posts of leadership. It appearsto make the individuals unable tologically and critically think andanalyze problems facing the AfrikanAmerican community.

Those who are able to remain inpositions of leadership do notappear competent enough to concen-trate on the causes of high unem-ployment rates, drug abuse ordomestic violence and instead devel—op apathetic tendencics and generallack of concern for their fellowbrothers’ and sisters’ well—being.

Unlike most epidemics, this dis-ease attacks our middle to upper-class. Most victims become “blind”to the struggles their people endureeveryday. They develop irrationalviews of the world in which theylive and think simply because theylive in the suburbs; Dr. King’sdream is now a reality.______M.

Victims of this dreadful plaguehave a strange habit of denouncingthe very governmental programs thatare needed for people of all color tosecure an equal foothold inAmerican life. They publicly vilifyfederal legislation that regulatesequal housing, equal employmentand equal opportunity. In essence, itmakes black folks lose their minds!

This dreadful plague is calledBlack Conservatism. Most criticsof the disease label it a “five-dollar”term for black cowardice. Thoseindividuals who are “conservative” _find it appropriate to do nothing tosolve problems of the race. Becauseof political ties they have formed oreconomic gains they have made,they are fearful of any actions theymay take to give back to the commu-nity. Instead, they adopt a pes-simistic policy of “if we can’t beatthem, let’sjoin them.”A rare disease in the ‘605 and

‘70s, Black Conservatism has steadi-ly encroached upon the members ofour “elite,” most particularly duringthe Reagan-dominated years of the‘808. Now we can find too manysuccessful, professional, business-minded individuals who proudlywrap the cloak of conservatismaround their broad and bolsteringshoulders.

Although studies show mostblack conservatives , voteRepublican, some of the wolvesdress in sheep’s clothing. There arehighly visible Afrikan Americans inother parties who are just as smittenby the disease. Party affiliation doesnot necessarily make a person con-servative. Their outlook on the stateof the Afrikan American community

and how to improve it is the bestindicator of those who have beeninfected.

It is a shame that our most suc-cessful brothers and sisters have fall—en ill to the malignant symptoms of

, the disease. They are supposed to bethe vanguard of DuBois’ “TalentedTenth.” Instead, they have becomethe “Traitorous Thousand,” forsak-ing all duties and obligations to theircountrymen.

They blow the trumpet to aban-don such programs as affirmativeaction and equality by granting fed-eral contracts with more convictionand fervor than Newt or Pat couldever hope to. They have climbed the'ladder of success these programshelped to create, and for that theyare worthy of our respect. They haveno right however, to kick down thevery ladder they climbed, and if theydo, they are worthy of our repri-mand.

There is hope, though. Althoughthe individuals-who have becomeinfected may be lost and should bequarantined immediately, it does notappear that the young AfrikanAmericans leaving colleges and uni—versities today are in serious dangerof contracting the disease. On thecontrary, they. don’t appear to be assusceptible to the disease and seemto be fairing well against it. Yet,young adults are not immune to iteither. ,

Strong doses of Afrocentric mate-rial that praises the history of Afrikaand the spirit of people with Afrikandescent (like the “Nubian Message”)are suggested in order to keep thedisease at bay.

Blacks and the EnvironmentBy Letitia Bascome

Guest WriterAs a child growing up, there were

times when I would throw my trashon the ground without thought. 0nthose occasions my mother wouldinstruct me to pick it up and throwit away properly.

From time to time I would slip upand she would remind me again.My mother often asked me whatwould I do if someone threw trash inour front yard? How would l feel. Isoon began to realize what she wastrying to tell me.

I have always considered my yardneat and well—groomed and would behurt if someone throw garbage in myyard. Trash is unattractive whetheron the ground or on the side of thehighway. so even as a child mymother tried to teach me that my sur-roundings needed to be cared for andnot polluted. liven though my moth-er pushed me into doing the rightthing, I now choose to take responsi-bility in making my surroundingsand community beautiful.We often went to church to wor-

ship the Lord. I remember as a littlegirl that most of the sermons weremade in comparisons with thingsfrom our surroundings to what was

going on in the news.Being that most of my life was

spent in the church, the most impor—tant thing was learning to appreciatewhat the lord gave us and to takecare of it. I can honestly apply thatto the caring of my community. Mymother always said that by havingland you could never go hungry and'you would always have a place tolay your head at nights. Mostimportantly though was that weneeded to thank God for it all.Along with having land you had tocare for it and keep it clean becausecleanliness is next to Godliness.My cultural background consists

of a wide range ofdiversity. Being ablack female makes it all the moredifficult. I have seen all of thesewhite enviromncntalist that save ourplanet on a daily basis. but where arethe black environmentalist. For thatmatter where are the black femaleenvironmentalist.

It may cause a problem later onin life because I know that at least Icare about the environment. butmost importantly is that I want otherethnicities and cultures (especiallymine) to care too. especiallywomen. The environment is a con—stant responsibility. Keeping our

surroundings clean benefits every-one. I guess females in general liketo see things neat, tidy, and consis-tent, at least this is how it is in myhome anyway. I, because of mybackground, believe in keeping theenvironment clean too.

To conclude, it is hard to tell peo—ple how to do things or save things.No one likes to be told to do any-thing, that is why we have to teachthem while they are young.

Other countries have the recy-cling idea in a bag. but we don’tbecause we do not appreciate whatwe have and how to use it. We takefor granted what millions crave for.Third world countries have a graspon the environmental problembecause to them it is not a problem.They have concerns that pass ourstenfold.

Recycling is a problem that main-ly affects our country because wewaste so much and do not know torestrain from over using. By issuingpeople to care for our planet by lawwe may have a chance to save theenvironment, and most importantchanging ways of thinking.

It is up to us to make the land thatour children will one day inhabit asafe. clean place to live!

Igniting the Spirit of a New GenerationBy Kimberly Pettaway

Opinions Editor

The year I619 serves as the yearscholars herald that the shores ofAmerica were graced with theessence of a most unique humanspecimen the Afrikan. And eventhough we stepped off the boatsshackled by chains, our innategenius as a people could not be dis—carded.

Regardless of the oppressor’saspirations to deprive us of ourdreams and dignity, our spirit couldnot be suppressed, and now, morethan 300 years later, we are stillhere. How true the old spiritualhas proven to be...we shall not bemoved.

Not only are we still here but weare preparing the generations tocome who will assume our variousroles. As Paul Roberson once said,“We realize that our future lieschiefly in our hands. We know thatneither institutions nor friends canmake a race stand unless it hasstrength in its own foundation, thatraces - like individuals must standor fail by their own merit. To'ensurelongevity as a people, we are ignit-ing the spirit of 'a new generation.”We accept the challenge that it is

up to us to right the wrongs of asociety in which some believe thingsare in their natural, correct order.We beg to differ.We are not blinded by the embla-

zoned words: “We hold these truthsto be self-evident, that all men arecreated equal,” in case you did notknow we have already declared ourindependence - we are not deafenedby the high pitched lyrics “land ofthe free and the home of the brave,”and we have affirmed our actionsbecause we know that justice isuncompromising. By ensuring thatthere will be a better tomorrow forour people, we are igniting the spiritof a new generation today.

The generation to come shall notbe a generation of indecisive. clue—less soldiers.We are a principled people. and

as a people of magnificent principlein order to orate our own history andactualize our goals for the upliftmentand empowerment of our people. wemust be devoted to igniting the spiritof a new generation.We shall never perish because we

are preparing tomorrow’s leaders

today.The youths of today are the ones

who shall pilot us into the next mil-lennium. They are the ones whomust make the collective stridestowards unity and empowerment ofthe Afrikan race. They shall be theones who will carry our hopes anddreams in their hearts and the abili—ty to actualize these things by theirintellect.

They are the ones to make truethe promises of a nation that seemsto have mastered the art of deceptivelying. They are the ones who mustaccept a commitment to someoneother than themselves and holdsteadfast to a commitment to a causeother than personal glorification.The spirit must be ignited in a newgeneration.

To have a prosperous passageinto the let century, the ignition ofthe spirit of a new generation mustcultivate by preparing for it today. Itmust occur for the sake of thosewho despite social and economicaltyranny still lingered on true tothemselves, their people and thestruggle.

It must cultivate in order foryouths to have a historical under—standing of their people. They mustknow that America has not alwaysconspired to welcome them withopen arms.

They must realize that the place—ment of a few “token blacks” in thespotlight is not beneficial to thecause. Manning Marble in his essay“The Challenge of BlackLeadership” says, “A ‘black face ina high place’ may give AfrikanAmericans a sense of pride and sym-bolic accomplishment, but if thatblack person near the pinnacle ofpower fails to address the legitimategrievances and problems of our peo-ple, Afrikan Americans as a grouparen’t empowered at all."

The spirit of a new generationmust be ignited to endow our youthwith a sense of pride in who theyare. Something is internally wrongwith someone if their is no pride inhis history and no love for his peo-ple. There is nothing wrong in hav-ing “Black Pride.“

Accordingly, to have black pridedoes not mean you claim superiori-ty above all other races. It simply .means that you boldly denounceyour inferiority to anyone.
