On November 16 at 11:16 a.m., the politi-cal occupy movement came to Fayetteville State University.

The political science club staged an oc-cupy march that started on the lawn near J. Knuckles Science Annex and ended in front of the Chancellor’s office. The mission of this march was simple. Students wanted to make sure that FSU’s administration heard their grievances.

Though crime and safety concerns are at the top of the list of student complaints, stu-dents were also protesting against the upcom-ing tuition increase, lack of parking availabil-ity and construction. Since October, FSU has experienced two shootings and eight different breaking and entering offenses either to auto-mobile or property.

Brain Putnam, who is a member of the po-litical science club, stated that they [the po-litical science club] did a survey and found that a lot of students strongly disagree with the tuition increase, the up-rise in crime on campus, no added security and no parking for

Herman Cain denies having sexually ha-rassed several women who he has worked with in the past while trying to continue in the race for the 2012 presidential elections.

Republican presidential candidate, Her-man Cain, has been under fire from the media after several accusations alleged accusations of sexual harassment surfaced in previous weeks.

Even though Mr. Cain seems be progress-ing in the presidential race, he has been hit with allegations from the past. While Mr. Cain was in the corporate world as a CEO of The National Restaurant Association, he was accused of sexually harassing several women.

According to CNN, Sharon Bialek has stepped forward and publicly accused Mr.

Cain of sexual harassing her several years ago. She alleged that Mr. Cain groped her in inappropriate manner and tried to force her head to his crotch. Another accuser, Karen Kraushaar attempted to get the four other women who’ve accused Mr. Cain of sexual harassment to come forth. The other women did not want to be public.

When the allegation first rose, Mr. Cain an-swered questions vaguely or with a rhetorical question that did not give citizens effective answers.

While being questioned at the GOP Debate Mr. Cain response was "The American people deserve better than someone being tried in the court of public opinion based on unfounded accusations.”

Aside from the alleged sexual harassment accusations, Mr. Cain forewarned the public about another women, Ginger White, who

would later go on to announce that she had an affair with Mr. Cain that lasted for 13 years. Mr. Cain’s lawyer, Lin Wood, denied this and stated that any relationship between these two was “private and between consenting adults.” Mrs. Wood stated that matters of sexual na-ture have no place in politics.

Since the allegations were brought to the public, Mr. Cain’s character, as well as his run for the presidency is in jeopardy. How-ever, he still has a strong support base and is one of the leaders in the polls for the repub-lican vote.

Mr. Cain is known for his “999” tax plan and his charismatic personality and his as-sertiveness to change America’s current state. He is touted as one of the strongest perform-ers in the republican debates. He writes an op-ed column that is published by North Star Writers group.

Three open forums that were aimed at handling the concerns of students seemed to get the job done.

Fayetteville State is putting in the works to increase tuition for the 2012-2013 school year. The last open forum that was held on Nov. 17 by Provost and Vice President of academic affairs Dr. Jon Young in combination with SGA President Jermaine Pittman and the tuition increase panel was aimed at clear-ing up the doubts of the proposed tuition increase.

Several students at the last open forum expressed concerns as to what the administration is spending money on. Senior, Donald Howard brought up the newly placed big screen televisions going up around campus. He also recommended sav-ing money in areas such as the Mi-crosoft lease that allows students to be able to use the newest editions of

the brand. “The previous edition worked

just fine. Why upgrade it to a newer edition that costs close to $150,000. That money could be used else-where,” said Mr. Howard.

Another student asked why she had to pay more money for tuition when she was receiving no financial aid. Many students had concerns as to being able to continue to afford FSU after the increase happens. One student even commented on the quality of the food served in the café and whether or not it would improve.

Financial aid director Kamesia Ewing was able to clear up a few false impressions on the tuition in-crease.

“$6.3 million dollars has been lost in financial aid this school year alone,” said Mrs. Ewing.

She says that the increase will mean stricter verification for stu-dents not willing to compare last year’s tax returns to the current year

when processing FAFSA. Students would also need official

direct verification from IRS and not your local tax provider to confirm all submissions before financial aid is received and processed. Mrs. Ew-ing also mentioned that the school would offer increased loan amounts to cover the increase in tuition. “We want this to be a smooth transition for everyone.”

Ninety-five percent of students at Fayetteville State are on financial aid. In order to be able to afford to keep those students and incoming students on federal aid, this increase will be able to keep those funds go-ing to those students in need. It will also cut down on the students pro-viding false information and trying to cheat the system.

The breakdown of the increase includes approximately 45 percent of the monies going to the office of financial aid, 25 percent going to-wards reinstating 65 or more class-es that have been cut, 20 percent

to provide additional technology smart rooms and 10 percent being used to increase library hours.

It is important to know that all increases are to be done to provide the student with better opportunities at college life. Such increases as student activities fee is done to be able to accommodate Fayetteville State students with free or low cost events. Surrounding schools such as NC State, A&T and UNCP pro-vide much more expensive events to their students in comparison to FSU.

Dr. Young vouched for FSU by clearing up the misconception of who is over the proposed tuition increase.

“It is not Fayetteville State Uni-versity who you have your com-plaints with but the state of North Carolina. We are just following the rules and regulations.”

Newly re-elected city coun-cil woman and Student Govern-ment Association graduate student,

Kady-Ann Davy, made a plea to students to attend the open forums in Raleigh if tuition increase con-cerns still existed.

“Don’t just go to the ones here because they are close. Raleigh is only 45 minutes up the road.”

Those students who did attend seemed to get some solace once the forum was brought to a close. The questions stopped pouring in and everyone started to get up and leave. Mr. Pittman urged students to tell their friends that they can get all the answers to their questions by going online to blackboard where the slides are posted.

FSU will not be the only univer-sity in the UNC school system rais-ing tuition next year, but the school does want a fighting chance to be able to offer its students a better en-vironment, better opportunities and better challenges.

Senior offensive lineman, Larry Mc-Donald, will be graduating from FSU with a long list of accolades, and talks about his future goals of playing in the NFL.

Offensive lineman, Larry McDonald, walked on the field for the coin toss at Vir-ginia Union, and counted his blessing about being able to suit up in his number 51 jersey and start his 42nd collegiate football game as a Fayetteville State University Bronco.

Set to graduate in May as a health and physical education major, Mr. McDonald is a six foot, lineman from Mebane, North Caro-lina who has been playing football for FSU for the past four years. He was a part of the CIAA championship winning team in 2009.

He feels it is truly a blessing that he was able to stay healthy enough to play in every game while here at FSU.

“I look at it as a reward for all of the hard work that me and my teammates do in the off

season,” said Mr. McDonald. With the season over, Mr. McDonald

hopes to go on and accomplish yet another goal, which is to play in the NFL. Mr. Mc-Donald plans on going to some combines and showing off some his talents to coaches and scouts that are out there. He is confident about being able to make it in the profes-sional league.

Mr. McDonald feels “With God’s help, I will get an opportunity to play at the next level.”

This was the last season for many Bronco football players as Mr. McDonald is one of ten seniors departing from the team.

“I am going to miss playing with my teammates. I have played with some great athletes, and there are some great young athletes on the team and they have a bright future. And I will miss joking and lining down on Saturdays with them,” stated Mr. McDonald.

The program gave Mr. McDonald an op-portunity to play football at the collegiate

level when other schools wouldn’t give him a chance. The FSU Broncos did, and he has taken full advantage of it.

Mr. McDonald will be leaving the team with numerous accolades and top honor achievements as a student-athlete. He was on the all-rookie team in 2008 and was named second-team all CIAA in the 2009-10 sea-son. In 2011, he was recognized as an Hon-orable mention preseason all-American and made the All-CIAA First Team.

Already departing with an impressive list of accomplishments as a Bronco, if Mr. Mc-Donald had another season he would have possibly broke the Broncos’ modern era re-cord of 43 starts, set by defensive line coach Damien Adams.

Head Coach Kenny Phillips said "You would've never thought that this is his senior year, but he's done a great job for us on the field and a great job in the classroom. He's accomplished a lot in four years, and that's what you look for when you come to college as a student-athlete."

Tuition increase to hit campus Fall 2012

by Jalynn Jones Voice Staff Writer

Comedians and poets perform an inspirational and empowering mix comedy and poetry for Fayetteville State University students on Nov. 18 in the Shaw Auditorium.

It’s not often that speakers can successfully mix comedy and a positive message, but that was what happened last week at the Com-edy Explosion show called “Are U Wasting Time.”

Founded by Asim Ali, the Cali-fornia native wanted to expand his works to Fayetteville State Uni-versity where he has a home and a family.

The evening’s performers includ-ed BET Def Comedy Jam comedi-ans Dexter Smiles and poet, Poetri.

Mr. Smiles kept the crowd in tune with his witty jokes and Po-etri did spoken words poems such as “Monsters in my Stomach,” “Krispy Kream,” and “Waka Floc-ka.”

“Are U Wasting Time” is a youth empowerment and personal devel-opment program to help students become passionate about their edu-cation and to the nurture talents and intellect of young people. They did a free show at the Boys and Girls Club nearby to volunteer their tal-ent to the community.

The Are U Wasting Time comedy explosion was sponsored in part by the brothers of the Epsilon Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi. Here are the highlights from the inter-views from Bronco-iRadio and The Voice.

Where did Asim Ali’s motiva-tion come from to start the “Are U Wasting Time” movement?

Asim Ali: “Well it came from a very intimate space. It came as a re-sult of me doing some reflecting on my talent and my intellect and just feeling as if I had grossly underuti-lized my own talent. So you take that internal reflection and combine it with having family members and friends caught up with gang activ-ity and a number of different things that we know eat away at the fiber of our community. I just decided that instead of getting on a soap box that I wanted to be a part of an ef-fort and so I committed myself to youth empowerment and personal development.”

Has their ever been a time when you wanted to quit?

Poetri: I’ve never wanted to quit…My wife has multiple sclero-sis so there are times when I have to be at the house with her at all times. I just got back from Chi-cago [where] she got a stem cell transplant so we were there for like four months…I don’t wanna say I

thought I was gonna quit, it was just a rough period because I was focus-ing on my wife and the transplant.”

Do you feel you play an impor-tant role in society?

Dexter Smiles: “I really do. I see entertainment [or] comedy as a medicine of some sort. People need [to laugh]. Especially in this economic climate, we need to laugh and laugh loud. I mean that laugh that makes [your stomach hurt]…If you don’t laugh right now, you defi-nitely will cry. Comedy is healing, poetry is healing.”

What is different about “Are U Wasting Time” that other youth em-powerment programs lack?

Asim Ali: “What make Are U Wasting Time youth empowerment and personal development so dif-ferent…well there are a lot of good programs out there…more power to you If you are lending yourself out there for the development of [our] youth. But, what I do have say is that we as adults have failed the youth tremendously. When you think about it, when you have a son and that son comes home with straight A’s on their report card, the first thing that parent is inclined to do is to say is ‘that’s my boy’ but the first time your child gets caught in some type of drive by shooting or [some other negative experi-ence], the first thing we say is ‘boy,

if it wasn’t for them no good guys you was hanging with’…we sepa-rate ourselves from the fact the we are responsible for everything. Are U Wasting Time looks to meet these young people on their ground. We have lost the right to tell young peo-ple [what they should and should not do]…we betray their trust, we demonstrate hypocrisy…and your child is watching this behavior…with that being said Are U Wasting Time uses art.”

If you could go back in time, what would be one thing you would say to the younger you?

Dexter Smiles: “I would tell myself to concentrate more in my academics and my future and to eat properly.”

Asim Ali: “I would tell my younger self that everything mat-ters. Even the things you think are insignificant. And I would also tell my younger self that every person matters. We are all fibers of one fabric. Everything is interdependent [on one other]. There is no inde-pendence. Independence is a false sense of security…because even if you were the greatest brain surgeon, you wouldn’t perform your proce-dure on yourself.”

For teens without family ties and other necessities, what would be the best alternative to keep them out trouble?

Asim Ali: “Well, the first thing I would say is that if you have to think about it, don’t do it…as spiri-tual creatures, we all have the good-ness of God inside of us. That in-ner voice that prompts us to pause is a gift intended to help guide us in the world. If we spent more time listening to that voice, that could go a long way towards guiding you.”

Poetri: “Well, I’m an old fashion church boy so I think [one should] definitely turn to the church. If you give God that second, that first step, God will come and meet and pull you in.”

Dexter Smiles: “I found a per-son in my life that I didn’t want to disappoint and that was my grand-mother, if I thought what I was doing was going to disappoint my grandmother, it wasn’t good for me. Just to see a smile on her face was always great for me. Anything I did out in the streets could get back to my grandmother and I didn’t want to disappoint her. I found that hu-man that I thought was the greatest person point. So, find a focal point to guide you. God is your focus but there may be someone on earth that can guide you…you can have God as your spiritual leader and then you can have a person here in the flesh that you can look up to.

OPINION6 The Voice, For Students, By Students December 2, 2011 | www.fsuvoice.com

By Daniel Prater Voice Staff Writer

Many college students want to contribute to society as well as their community. How-ever, finding the ‘right fit’ for doing your part can be frustrating and somewhat confusing. Most times we don’t know where to look when approaching this moral responsibility. Luckily, Fayetteville State University has the Center for Community Justice & Service Learning (CCJ&SL).

That’s a mouthful, I know, but it’s difficult to put a label on the huge impact this center has on the local community. For those of you who’ve attended service learning courses in the past, you know what CCJ&SL represents, a community-university-government partner-ship working to improve the quality of life and the quality of justice throughout the com-munity.

Located in Bronco Square at suite 100, CCJ&SL started in 2007 with Dr. Melissa Barlow, director, as the Institution for Com-munity Justice with university funds. In 2009, the program received the Learn & Serve Grant for their service learning program. They have over 50 community partners, like the NAACP, American Red Cross and De-

mocracy of NC, and provide nearly endless opportunities for students to achieve co-cur-riculum hours.

Ms. Monique Broadhurst, University Pro-gram Associate stated, “Because most part-ners are non-profit, they can’t afford to hire personnel and heavily rely on volunteers, like the NAACP.” Many Fraternities and Sorori-ties have also partnered with CCJ&SL to con-duct community action events.

As stated in their Student Resource Guide, located on the CCJ&SL Bronco Advantage website, service learning balances emphasis on course learning objectives and the real needs of the community. One example in-cludes Political Science students contributing hours to help with voter registration.

Another involves H.R. Management stu-dents conducting surveys around UNC-FSU questioning whether someone would rat out a co-worker for substance abuse on the job. Ms. Melissa Lyon, SL Program Manager ex-plained, “Students designed the survey.” Ms. Broadhurst added, “It’s all part of the IPAD-C system that spans three semesters.” The first class conducted the Investigation, find-ing that no data on this issue could be found anywhere. The second class started Planning a method to compile data, leading to a third

class joining them in the Action of conduct-ing surveys throughout campus.

The Demonstration-Celebration will take place towards the end of this semester af-ter the data is collected and analyzed in the CCJ&SL office.

“Hopefully the data can be used to put a plan in place where employees can feel com-fortable reporting co-workers,” Ms. Broad-hurst said.

These projects benefit both organiza-tions, just as the Food Drive for Hungry An-gels helped to establish a relationship with CCJ&SL and Cross Creek Early College High School. The projects not only focus on the instructions of specific courses, but also consist of multiple areas in which to help the community.

More than 19 classes participated in ser-vice learning this semester, ranging from Freshman Seminar and Social Work to Po-litical Science and Criminal Justice. Outside the classroom, CCJ&SL hosted the Balancing the Scales: Exploring the Impact of the NC Racial Justice Act in Seabrook, co-hosted the Holiday Mail for Heroes event and resource for various volunteer and tutoring programs throughout all grade levels in the area.

One of the organizations most popular

events is the MLK Challenge, an annual event honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“We had 172 people come out last year and we’re hoping for over 200 in 2012!” Ms. Lyon commented.

This semester’s Service Learning Celebra-tion was held on Nov. 15th at the CCJ&SL center in Bronco Square. Snacks and refresh-ments were served.

The CCJ&SL staff wishes that more stu-dents would participate in the celebration held near the end of each semester. This event involves a social gathering of community ser-vice students who share the same civic and ethical responsibilities. The warm atmosphere radiated with students talking about their re-warding experiences from the multiple op-portunities provided.

Obviously, when we think about contrib-uting to society, community service proves the first logical path to take. Hopefully, for UNC-FSU students the first place you visit is the Center for Community Justice & Service Learning. Also, if you’re still considering which courses to take next semester, look for one with service learning in the description. From one student to another, you won’t be disappointed. Get involved!

Serving the community enhances education

students. “We want to discuss these problems with

the administration and that is what we are here to do,” said Mr. Putnam.

FSU gave notice to students concerning the increase in tuition months ago. It was not until recently that students began coming for-ward about the increase and what it means to them.

“I do not think that they did the right thing. Sometimes the administration looks over the heads of the students instead of straight in the face. Showing them that this means some-thing to us all hopefully will bring change,” commented sophomore, Darius Robinson.

The president of the political science club, Jared Gibson, was greeted with cheers and applause when he appeared before the club and interested onlookers. The march got off to a slow start with few participants. As the march continued through campus, the par-ticipant count continued to grow to more than a few dozen students. Protestors picked up students from all areas of the campus all wanting to tell the administration what they thought.

The march gained even more momen-tum once it reached the Student Center and those involved started the petition that was to be hand delivered to Chancellor Anderson. Chants such as “We are Fayetteville State. We will fight for our rights.” echoed between the buildings drawing attention from those around.

Onlookers of the march, Ashley Leary and Ashley Hollins, both students are currently residents of Honors Hall said that they “do

not feel safe at all.” Ms. Leary and Ms. Hol-lins both said that they feel threatened by the recent robbery that occurred at Honor’s Hall on Nov. 8. And being that it is so close to home, students feel that the administra-tion should provide more security for the dorms, such as having more security guards stationed at all entrances to dorms around campus.

Once the march reached the Barber build-ing where the Chancellor’s office is located, the crowds chanting brought out a few mem-bers of the administration, including Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Jon Young, Vice Chancellor of Student Af-fairs, Dr. Janice Haynie, and Director of Pub-lic Relations, Jeffrey Womble.

Dr. Haynie and Dr. Young spoke briefly with participants of the march and informed them that they were welcomed and encour-aged to come to all forums and meetings, whether on campus or not.

Local news crew Channel 14, showed up to shoot the student-led protest.

FSU campus police were present in case the protestors got out of hand. One of the protestors, Andy Andrews, was issued a ticket for disorderly conduct in which Mr. Womble had to sign before being issued.

The movement was heard from all areas of the campus.

Mr. Andrews stated “Peaceful protest was all we wanted. We feel as though this march should light a fire up underneath all the stu-dents at Fayetteville State because it affects everyone here.”
