It’s almost a tradition of its own that FAMU students express themselves in styles on weekly Set Friday’s, annual Be Out Day’s and even trips to the café. Countless students are seen in wardrobe that is fit for the runway. While FAMU Rattlers are no stranger to bringing a flair […]

Staff Ed: Justice is Done, Time to Unite
America’s ability to unify after a major event never ceases to amaze me. America united in its sorrow after the events of 9/11. The attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa., cost the U.S. thousands of lives, yet it also brought an entire nation together under […]
After Four Long Years, It’s Time to Say Farewell
During my four-year college career at Florida A&M, I have written 200 articles for our college paper, held six staff positions, won five awards, and have seen five Editors-In-Chief–each whom are friends of mine. With that said, its time to graduate. This goodbye could be massive, but I only have […]
Future Rattlers Have Something to Look Forward to
Spring commencement is slowly coming upon us. Many of our older friends and family who we have come to know and love on this campus are getting ready to walk across that stage from college student into full blown adulthood. The feeling of graduating is one of pure enjoyment. At […]
Reflections on Spring 2011
Spring 2011 is coming to an end. Seems like yesterday it was Fall 2010. Time sure goes by fast. For incoming freshmen this year started with campus tours and healthy lectures mixed with meeting soon to be peers and associates. Say hello to a decent networking system. But college is […]

We here at the Famuan are avid music listeners. So we, in an interesting way, came up with a list of artists we think should make a comeback. Albeit some of us didn’t agree with others (note the side comments) this is what we think. Add your own in the […]
Where’s the Justice in That?
So, from a possible 10 years in prison to three years of probation? Really, Feds? For those lost, former FAMU Department of Public Safety officer Byron Whitaker was charged with conspiracy to distribute marijuana and making false statements to a federal agent. He plead guilty earlier this year and at […]
FAMUAN Face-Off: It’s a Plant; So What’s the Problem?
Let’s mention one thing straight off the bat. This article does not promote drug usage or the general idea that drugs as a whole should be legal. But in the case of one drug, marijuana, I ask why not? There are many whose attention I now hold in the palm […]
Living It Up In School – Minus the Contact High
As a youngster in high school, I would have to wake up early every morning to catch the school bus and almost every morning, I was introduced to peer pressure. “Wanna (sic) blaze?” a fellow student with lazy, bloodshot eyes asked while holding a joint. It was much too easy […]
FAMUAN Face-Off: Natural High is Where It’s At
I have been high almost every day of my life. When you see me on the Set, I’m high. When I’m walking through the halls, I’m high. When you see me in class, I’m probably as high as a kite. I randomly burst out in song, smile for no apparent reason, giggle […]
