SPEAK OUT SHORTS

Frats Gone Wild!
“In my opinion the men in the pictures show how ignorant they are. Omega Psi Phi is a fraternity of many intelligent men. Only a few that are chosen and the proud are aloud to wear the shirts of Omega Psi Phi fraternity. For someone to go out of their way to paint their faces brown and show ignorance as if they know what it is and how it feels to be Black is most definitely intolerable. The whites in the pictures poses as African Americans would probably be the first ones to say that they were not racist, but they are. They really don’t know that their actions speak a lot of words. I think the young men in the pictures should be suspended because of their ignorance and what they have shown.”

Southern 17 FAMU 14
“I only have one thing to say, “Hell Yeah!” The Jaguar Nation has won FOUR Heritage Bowls AND Eight Bayou Classics. The Rattlers finally got a true taste of THAT BLAZIN’ HOT CREOLE COOKIN’. That’s the SU that will regain its SWAC CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2001. Once again S.W.A.C. STANDS FOR Southern Wins Another Championship! Hell Yeah JAGS, three more and its back to Bama to crush those Stingless Hornets! One Luv, “TRU JAG TO DA HEART”

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
“Hi I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia and after doing lots of reading think I may have chronic fatigue as well. It is so horrible to sleep for 2 days and still feel exhausted. Unable to make decisions. unable to do normal household things. Then the next day your feeling a little better and you go shopping then your in bed for two days. Its hard when you are alone and have a child they just don’t understand.”

How do you feel about the football team this season?
“I think the team has done an outstanding job with what it has. That’s shows the outstanding coaching job that Coach Richardson & his staff has done. NO team in the SWAC could lose a Terrance Levy & Michael Hayes, IN THE SAME SEASON & still be 6-3 at this point. So for someone to say the team lacks heart is bizarre. I’m in Australia & I know that’s not the case. Heart beat FAMU. Heart beat TSU. Advise to the Jaguar Nation. Keep the faith & let’s beat Grambling!!!”
