Make Your Voice Heard before it’s Silenced

Bill to Ban ‘Sagging’ Passes, Protesters Rejoice
A few weeks ago a bill was passed in our lovely state of Florida that banned the common fashion statement of sagging pants for individuals in grades K-20. Pause. Does this mean that I no longer have to walk around campus looking at people’s underwear? Praise God! Don’t get me […]
FAMU May Not Be Perfect, but It’s Our University
It really might be time to stop the complaining. Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University might not be the a five-star hotel with room service delivered by Mila Kunis, but it certainly is not the Motel 6 many students try to make it out to be. Compare the problems of this […]
