              ned the cats would be forced to properly sea leave the campus though realistically not all the cats can be ridded the majority of them can be reducing the risk of harm to the students many may believe the cats are harmless and nothing needs to be done because no one has been attacked if this problem waits until someone is attacked it will be too late it is also not worth the sacrifice for someone to be attacked before administration or the state does something - about it l ne 6c l lvegister t3tr news editor raychuri holt features editor kevin sturdivant sports editor wendy wilson production manager david gaines art director dameon williams advertising manager dorcia kelley business manager chad mckelvey photo editor ariadne degarr distribution manager archie clark not to attack the profession but too many janitors coming from the black commu nity is not good therefore by not voting at all it is putting shackles around our feet and saying those disgusting words yes sur no sur and what ever you masur they're contributing to the problem because they have no say in what the govern ment is attempting to do to them not voting all that is happening to this young black generation is an attempt to put them back in chains for example jesse helms has called blacks everything short of nigger yet he contin ues to get elected into office this is a man against student loans which some blacks so happily receive every semester if this guy and his ideas get push through the senate then where is the money going to come from to educate your kids helms even wanted to rid us of that awful thing called aids funding oh there's definitely a reason to vote they're attempting to cut off welfare and make people go to work affirmative action was voted out in california sure when a white person comes off welfare they will be more inclined to get the job why because there will be no more affirmative action then where does the black race end up being servants by getting hard labor and clean-up jobs however some poor uninformed people still sit at home or in their dorm rooms complaining about the system but they are unwilling to do something about the system if voting was not important then why ne white people fight so hard to prevent ? true there are no quick solu tions in this country but when one does not cas a ballet to vote he/she is just another part of the problem african americans for some reason still don't see the importance of voting only 14 percent of african americans in north carolina voted just 19 percent nationwide voted it's hard to point out one specific reason for our absence at the polls maybe 14 percent of the people in this state realize what a struggle it was just to be able to have the right to vote people in the 1950s and 60s were killed just so future african american generations would have the power to choose their leaders see voting page 5 being that a&t is a state-supported school one animal control organization sug gested the state is obliged to minimizing the number of four-legged scavengers on this campus being that this is state-owned a large number of cats is a threat to the students it was said that when the number of cats increase food becomes scarce meaning there is competition once this stage is reached the cats become aggressive as the temperatures fall and food supplies remain scarce the cats become malnourished and ill ill cats have the tendency to be short-tempered and can possibly attack other cats as well as students when cats are poorly fed and begin to fight for food diseases can spread rapidly endangering anyone attacked by a cat excuses provided in defense to correct ing this problem have mainly been that nothing can be done to prevent cats from entering the campus being that it is an open campus this may be true yet cats wouldn't settle in an area where there is a lack of food supply if the trash cans were not easily accessible the cats wouldn't find food so easily also the abandoned buildings under neath a number of campus buildings provide the number of felines present on north carolina a&t's campus continues to grow at an alarming rate after the sun has set these silent and clever creatures begin to scrounge through the trash cans and abandoned buildings looking for nourishment from either thrown away food or rodents and roaches editorial policy student produced publication written at jennings donya mckellar teresa robinson advisement brian tomiin african americans still fail to realize importance of voting by brian holloway editor-in-chief it was iit / t / 1 sa rf fpmecwn lasted yfe/w ... about ha^lott&r lid s us from voting o m niscient niscient@hotmail.com elines vose threat to students health do cats outnumber a gie dogs on campus shelter for the cats if the buildings were more
