              there is relief in knowing that something is being done to stop the outrageous threats a&t police should be commended for their efforts and though the bomb threats have continued even after the arrests many are confident that others will be caught before the real explosion occurs — final ex amination week one officer even apologized for the inconvience when an instructor spoke harshly to him although many of the officers were irritated by the calls they counseled people who were upset and con tinually asked who is doing all of this surprisingly four people including two a&t students have been arrested and charged in connec tion with the bomb threats many students and professors whose classes had been interrupted previously did not want to leave the building that day most of them contended that the threat was a joke but police warned that this one might be it in addition once an unidentified caller said he had a remote control and would blow up crosby hall bet ween 2 and 4 p.m a&t has been plagued with a rash of bomb threats since february and the officers have efficiently evacuated at least 10 buildings on campus once the officers performed eight evacuations in one day one officer said he felt that the hardest task was getting all residents to leave scott hall after a prank caller said a bomb had been placed in a&t's largest dormitory praise has been long overdue for the a&t police department * * * * * to receive the a&t register send 9.50 for one year or 17 for two years to the a&t register box e-25 north carolina a&t state university greensboro n.c 27411 ' to cover mailing and handling costs published weekly during the school year by north carolina agricultural and technical state university students tend a university which offered a much broader selection of excellent schools rather than just a few doris person , dwayne pinkney ,.. frances ward derek mclendon sheba hall . . jay hall pam dudley malcolm aaron distribution manager phil powell advisors charlene middleton and benjamin forbes art editor circulation manager head typist chief photographer business/ad manager managing editor news editor editor-in-chief for students cass represented for national advertising by communication advertising services if too much emphasis is placed upon the engineering school then the grants funds and 1 all other sources of financial aid will be affected very substantially lack of public interest in the other schools will continue to occur if a large percentage of recruitment is only centered around the engineering school aggies if we do not obtain a much broader sense of recruitment for all of the individual schools then what schools will the future high school graduates choose more than likely the university of north carolina at chapel hill tuskegee morehouse and other prestigious schools if we want to maintain a collegiate cur riculum then high school graduates must be in formed of all of the schools in addition he or she would choose a univer sity that promoted a high level of publicity in all of its schools what if the valedictorian or salutatorian of a high school class were interested in majoring in something centered around the liberal arts would he or she come to a&t ? maybe so but he or she would more than likely choose to at how many times have you heard about a&t's excellent agriculture arts business & economic education and nursing schools perhaps not enough times to name yes we have an excellent engineering school but we also have other excellent schools that are deprived of the broad sense of publicity that the engineering school obtains as a high school senior i recalled hearing various optimistic conversations concerning a&t's engineering school almost everything that i heard academically about a&t was centered around this school by esther woods how many times have you heard conversa tions about a&t's excellent engineering school probably too many times to name off hand page 4 the a&t register friday april 19 1985 praise long overdue by frances ward bus riders beware too much on one it seems that a student who once depended on the bus for transporta tion might have to go to other rr i.s or remain in greensboro students might have to take the last resort get a job one would think that with all the years of student usage that students would be considered before the in crease unfortunately the bus system is not like that of the airlines bus transportation is limited therefore bus wars are not likely to exist emphasis school for example a ticket that once cost 8 to raleigh will cost thir teen dollars and this is just a one way ticket with this cut students were once able to afford bus trips to visit friends at other universities as well as making regular visits home many students have become victims of the steady rising cost of traveling by bus and this has happened to some students more than once trailways bus company has raised its prices twice in one school year.once because of an annual increase and then again because of new management it seems that the owner of trailways would take in consideration that a ma jority of its riders are college students and some of these students may not be able to afford such steep prices what happened to the 15 percent student cut that once existed by windy norggins how many of you have gone to the bus station with the exact amount of money to purchase a ticket only to find the fare has gone up the lead column on the opinion page written by the editor in chief of the a&t register it does not carry a byline none of the columns on this page necessarily reflects the opinion of the.staff even though it's not known if the four are guilty it was unbelievable to learn that two a&t students were involved since all students come to the university supposedly for the same purpose to receive an education — not to deter getting one
