Aggies fall to Rams in the last minute of the season opener Prince grimes

North Carolina A&T fans were sent home shocked and disappointed Saturday evening after the Aggies were defeated, 21-14, by the Winston-Salem State Rams. The Aggies held a 14-13 lead at home when the Rams offense took the field in the fourth quarter with 3:12 remaining in the game. Poor tackling and a 15-yard penalty by the Aggies defense assisted Winston-Salem State as they drove 78 yards for the game-winning touchdown. The game added insult to injury for a banged up Aggie team that expected to win their season opener against Win-

ston-Salem State. North Carolina A&T went into Saturday’s game without their starting quarterback, Lewis Kindle, who was sidelined due to an injury suffered in the week preceding the game. Even so, the Aggies would score the first points of the game on their third possession when running back Mike Mayhew pounded the ball in from the one-yard-line for a touchdown. In the second half, the Rams offense did what the Aggies offense could not do when they took advantage of an Aggies turnover. Backup quarterback Kameron Smith came in for Winston-Salem and tossed a 20-

yard touchdown to Patrick Terry

following a fumble to put the Rams up 10-7. “ I thought t h e need-

spark,” said WinstonSalem State head coach Connell Maynor about putting Smith in the game. “He gives us an added dimen-

team ed the change f o r spark and he came in and gave us a

sion with his legs and that’s what he did tonight.” The Rams would later connect on a fourth quarter field goal to take a 13-7 lead, which set the stage for the Aggies

let-down. On the following kickoff, defensive back Justin Ferrell ran for 76 yards and scored the go-ahead touchdown for A&T. The defense then forced a punt and a fumble on the next two Rams possessions giving Aggie fans a reason to be optimistic about a win, but the offense continued to struggle and missed out on opportunities to put the score out of reach. “It was just a game of missed o p portunities,” said Lee. “We definitely,  See Football on Page 7

ten HBCU queens were selected from an online poll. Viewers could watch the videos of the queens, view their biographies and then vote for their favorite. “I’m just thankful,” said Saunders, Miss A&T 20102011, a senior agriculture education major with a concentration in communications, from Fayetteville. The HBCU queens were given one day to promote themselves. Saunders sent out

emails to previous employers, classmates, friends and the A&T family. Many students encouraged voting through vigorous Facebook and Twitter posts. The ten HBCU queens chosen were Miss Howard University, Miss Johnson C. Smith University, Miss North Carolina Central University, Miss Virginia State University, Miss Fisk University, Miss Albany State University, Miss Tuskeg-

ee University, Miss BethuneCookman College, Miss Xavier University and Miss NC A&T State University. The Ebony photo shoot was held in Atlanta, G.A. at photographer Derek Blanks studio. Although she missed her early flight, Saunders described her overall trip as a good one. In the feature, Ebony magazine wrote each queen was “pam See miss a&t on Page 2

The Student Government Association (SGA) executive board is now complete. Bryan Tigner, a senior geomatic engineering major from Hardeeville, S.C. has been chosen by the campus at large as the s c h o o l ’s attorney general after accumulating a little over 50 percent of the vote after last We d n e s day’s fall tigner elections. Though the other seats in SGA were announced during last semester, Tigner explains the reason why his position has remained void, “There were a lot of ambiguities within in the constitution and the protocol packet which caused majority of the candidates who were seeking that position to not be eligible or to be disqualified. So that left the position vacant and left it open for people to run for in the fall.” He further explains his choice in taking on the job, “With me staying here for an additional year I decided to go back into leadership and take the attorney general [position] to a new level.” Tigner’s fellow e-board members share his enthusiasm and vision. President Wayne Kimball Jr. had nothing but positive things to say when speaking about the newest addition to the “SANKOFA” Administration. “We’re definitely very excited to have him on the executive board. He’s shown his interest and passion for the position in his campaigning and we’re really excited to see that same passion and drive exemplified during this term and school year.” Vice President of External Affairs, Christian Robinson also shares the same sentiments. “I’m very excited about Bryan joining our e-board. He knows SGA. He knows protocol. He knows what to do and how to make it happen. It’s going to very productive year and with him it’s just the added icing on the cake.” That experience Robinson speaks about includes Tigner’s two consecutive years as a senator for the School of Engineering as well as him being the first Mr. Senior in the history of North Carolina A&T just prior to him taking on the role of attorney general. Along with his experience, Tigner also comes with having already established  See tigner on Page 2

relationships with his now colleagues: Christina Garrett, Dorian Britt, Mitchell Brown, and Wayne Kimball, Jr. Tigner feels that this will make his transition into the position even smoother. Although a lot of his time will be spent with these peers, Tigner also recognizes his duties outside of the e-board saying, “Constitutionally [I’m] over the judiciary council which is composed of 11 members. The attorney general and judiciary council go to the hearing and help with the penalty that will be given [when a student gets in trouble]. [Our] Job is to come up with a punishment or a solution to help solve the problem.” With such a prominent role on campus, Tigner doesn’t plan to let the drama and scandal created by prior administrations set him up for failure. “You have to lead by exam-

ple. If you’re trying to enforce the rules set forth by the university you have to set an example and show a student lifestyle which reflects the position. So my whole thing is to lead by example first and also to get out on campus and make sure students know what the rules are. To be honest I don’t want to have too many judicial hearings this year because students weren’t knowledgeable about the rules and regulations. We need students to stay in school.” Other positions filled by last week’s elections include Keaira Jones as Freshman Class Vice President, Emone C. McLean as Freshman Class treasurer, Joshua E. Smith as Senior Class Vice President, Jazmin K. Rogers-Blackshear as Senior Class Secretary, Danielle D. Brown to the Judiciary Council and Shakira O. Paul to the Elections Committee. There will be runoff elections on Sept. 8 for the other positions.

MIss A&T From page 1 pered, powdered and pinned to perfection” in preparation for the shoot. Each of the queens featured had to choose a name to best describe themselves. Saunders chose effervescent. Her meaning of an effervescent person is someone who is bubbly and full of personality. She said that she’s always been described as a bubbly person. In fact, her nickname on her high school cheerleading squad was “bubbles.” One question was chosen per queen to be answered in the magazine article. The question chosen for Saunders was about her popularity in high school. Saunders statement was that although she’d been an all-around student in high school, she still felt alone. After being in the Student Government Association (SGA), winning homecoming queen and cheerleading captain, her close group of friends became mean and distanced themselves, she remembers. “I had nobody to share those experiences with,” she said. Saunders said that at that time in her life she had God walking with her. Saunders especially made friends with Miss North Carolina Central; Jennifer Langston and Miss Johnson C. Smith; Shakirah Randolph. They made contact and “held each other down,” even throughout the on-

The A&T

line voting process. She admits everyone was nice, confident and had great personalities. She also said the queens had fun together blasting music, eating good food, and having a good time. By it being only a select few queens, it made the experience much more memorable. “I made friends for life,” said Saunders about the other HBCU queens. People often ask her how she feels about being in Ebony magazine. In response, she explains to them that she has not done anything out of the ordinary. She makes sure not sound or seem vane. “It’s what God intended for my life,” she admitted. Saunders insists that it was just meant to be. She believes she had to be one of the HBCU queens featured, because anything HBCU-related should include A&T at the top of the list. Saunders admits to bragging about A&T’s history, accomplishments and daily extraordinary strides to greatness. “I am representing A&T on the level it needs to be represented,” she said. The September issue of Ebony magazine featuring the ten HBCU queens and our Miss A&T is on shelves now. Saunders will even be doing an Ebony magazine signing on Sept. 19 in Harrison auditorium after the Miss A&T showcase at 7 p.m.

Amidst the changes as this semester began, Bluford Library has increased security in order to ensure safety for all students and faculty at A&T. Starting this year, to gain access to the library, between the hours of 12 a.m. - 7:30 a.m., you must be a registered A&T student or staff, with your Aggie One card in order to swipe for entrance. According to the Associate Interim Dean of Library Services, Doris Mitchell, the change was made during the late night hours for “security purposes when there will be limited staff on duty so we decided to try and protect our students by restricting access of the public.” “We will still have one security guard at the door, but there will not be as many security guards throughout the

library building like during regular hours,” said Mitchell. Various reasons brought about the need to apply this new security measure. “One issue that brought about the need was the homeless people coming into the library and often times they have mental health issues that are disruptive and students were complaining to security,” Mitchell added. “We also were noticing that people were visiting pornographic websites during those hours of 12 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.” The library is still accessible to the public during regular hours, but the new Aggie One card entrance excludes students who attend other universities around the triad area. Octavious Spruill, head of access services, did a survey to see if other schools gave A&T students access to their libraries after the mentioned hours. He found out they do not.

“We surveyed several universities in the area such as UNCG, Wake Forest, Bennett College, Winston-Salem State, High Point, Guilford College, etc. to examine the scope of their late night entry policies. Each university has different closing hours and rules and regulations for its visitors,” said Spruill. “We do participate in the TALA Borrowing Agreement which allows our current students, faculty and staff to check out books from their library.” The new security precautions is one way the campus is increasing safety, but Mitchell also offered words of advice to the students of A&T. “We are taking every precaution we can being that Bluford is so open to the public, but we encourage students to be aware of their surroundings, make sure the door is closed behind them when entering buildings,” said Mitchell.

Meet the new provost Shequia cole Contributor

Dr. Linda T. Adams, the new Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs, is ready to “create and help build on A&T’s legacies.” As the Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic AfAdams fairs, Adams is responsible for reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes in academic policies and programs. Originally from Detroit, MI, Adams received her bachelor’s degree in psychology at Wayne State University and her master’s degree and doctorate degree from Johns Hopkins University. She served as the dean of the school of nursing at Oakland University and as an associate dean at the University of Maryland. In addition, she’s worked with the mayor of Baltimore, MD. and served as a cabinet member for the governor of Maryland. Adams has also studied the health care system abroad in Eastern Europe and has given lectures in many places around the world. She came to A&T because of its history. Adams also boosts about the “robust and intriguing”

legacy going all the way back to civil rights. Due to A&T’s history she knew and heard about the institution long ago. Adams has many goals she would like to accomplish here at A&T. She wants to make sure A&T is one of the best institutions, especially when it comes to science. “A&T has produced some of the best scientists in the world,” she said. One of the ways she plans to do this is by making sure all undergraduate students get involved in research on campus. In addition, Adams wants to be sure all students are equipped with the tools to be able to think outside their selective majors and disciplines. She emphasizes the importance of students grasping the ability to work well with others. “You all are the future,” she said. The administration and staff are ultimately there for the students, since they will be the people making decisions for the world soon, according to the new provost. Another one of Adams’ goals is to see A&T attract the top scholars, students and professors in the future. However, Adams said she and the administration are going to need the students help. In her opinion, students should be ambassadors for the institution and encourage

high school friends and others to attend A&T. Alongside her responsibilities Adams would like the barriers between the administration and students to disappear. To work towards this goal she would like to hold a series of conversations with the student body about where they want to see their school in the future. She would like the conversations to be set up in residence halls or within academic departments, fraternities, sororities and other organizations. She has even held some meetings already. Adams advice for students is to talk to professors they like and respect and to develop relationships with them. Students can go and talk with her. Adams also advises students to study abroad, learn a language and volunteer. “Some of my best experiences came from doing volunteer work,” she said. More advice from Adams to students is to develop and keep a good set of friends. She cautions students to choose their friends carefully. “Friends you make in college become lasting friendships, if you choose right,” she said.

Craigslist strikes adult services under pressure CHRISTOPHER LEONARD AP Business Writer

Craigslist appears to have surrendered in a legal ﬁght over erotic ads posted on its website, shutting down its adult services section Saturday and replacing it with a black bar that simply says “censored.” The move comes just over a week after a group of state attorneys general said there weren’t enough protections against blocking potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution. It’s not clear if the closure is permanent, and it appears to only affect ads in the United States. The listings came under new scrutiny after the jailhouse suicide last month of a former medical student who was awaiting trial in the killing of a masseuse he met through Craigslist, a popular site that lets users post classiﬁed ads, often for free. Craigslist’s adult services section carried ads for every-

thing from personal massages to a night’s companionship, which critics say veered into prostitution. Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster said in a May blog posting that the company’s ads were no worse than those published by the alternative newspaper chain Village Voice Media. He cited one explicit ad which included the phrase: “anything goes $90.” Craigslist has been caught for years in a murky legal ﬁght that centers on how much responsibility the company bears for its ads, said Jonathan Zittrain, professor of law and computer science at Harvard University. Prosecutors can argue Craigslist is an “intermediary” to the crime of prostitution, Zittrain said, but such cases are hard to prove. He said prosecutors must essentially prove that Craigslist knew an ad was a solicitation for prostitution; ads on Craig-

slist are typically worded more vaguely. Nonetheless, to avoid a legal showdown, the company has tried to keep “inappropriate activity” off its site by screening ads.It’s unclear if Craigslist felt the attorneys general had a good argument, or if it simply got tired of spending time on the issue. But saying adult services were “censored” rather than just removing could be seen as a message to prosecutors, Zittrain said. “They don’t like being pushed around” Zittrain said. Like many other online forums, Craigslist typically does not review ads before they are posted by users. But in 2008, under pressure from 40 state attorneys general, Craigslist began requiring posters to provide a working phone number and pay a fee for placing an ad in what is now the adult services section. Several

months later, Craigslist adopted a manual screening process in which postings are reviewed before publishing. U.S. courts have repeatedly ruled that online service providers such as Craigslist aren’t liable for postings made by their users, but because Craigslist now reviews those ads ahead of time, an argument could be made that the site is playing a more active role in the postings. State ofﬁcials believe Craigslist is still not doing enough to stop illegal ads from appearing. The company did not comment Saturday. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, one

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations reported Tuesday that more than 500 systematic rapes were committed by armed combatants in eastern Congo since late July more than double the number previously reported and accepted partial responsibility for not protecting citizens. U.N. Assistant SecretaryGeneral for Peacekeeping Atul Khare told the U.N. Security Council that 260 more rapes occurred in another region of the country, in addition to 242 rapes earlier reported in and around Luvungi, a village of about 2,200 people located a half-hour drive from a U.N. peacekeepers’ camp. “While the primary responsibility for protection of civilians lies with the state, its national army and police force,” said Khare, “clearly, we have also failed. Our actions were not adequate, resulting in acceptable brutalization of the population of the villages in the area. We must do better.” The area peacekeeping force, called MONUSCO, on Sept. 1 launched an operation using 750 troops to back efforts by Congolese security forces to arrest the perpetrators of the attacks, said Khare. At least 27 rebels armed with automatic riﬂes have surrendered and at least four more have been arrested, he said. Meanwhile, Khare said, peacekeepers will undertake more night patrols, and perform more random checks on communities. The U.N. is also looking into ways of providing peacekeepers with mobile phones by installing a high frequency radio in Luvungi, he said. Rape as a weapon of war has become shockingly commonplace in eastern Congo, where the government army and U.N. peacekeepers have failed to defeat the few thousands reb-

els responsible for a protracted conﬂict fueled by vast mineral reserves. The United Nations says at least 8,300 rapes were reported last year and it is believed that many more rapes go unreported. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in recent days sent Khare to Congo to investigate why U.N. peacekeepers didn’t learn about at least 242 mass rapes in the Luvungi area from July 30 to Aug. 4 until Aug. 12, when it was informed by the International Medical Corps which was treating many of the victims.The additional sexual attacks, in an area called Uvira and other regions of North and South Kivu, came to light during Khare’s trip. He told council members he learned of 74 cases of sexual violence, including against 21 minors all girls between the ages of 7 and 15 and six men, in a village called Miki, in South Kivu. All the women in another village, Kiluma, may have been systematically raped, he said. Khare said in a community called Katalukulu, 10 women were raped by Congolese soldiers, which he said must “maintain a much higher standard of discipline, good behavior and conduct, and observance of human rights.” The undersecretary-general called for prosecution of Rwandan rebel FDLR and Congolese Mai-Mai rebels blamed for many of the attacks and U.N. sanctions against their leaders. U.N. envoy Margot Wallstrom, expressed her alarm over the increase in reported rapes, saying they show “a broader pattern of widespread and systematic rape and pillage.” A senior member of Wallstrom’s staff accompanied Khare on his recent trip.“It is evident that rape is increasingly selected as the “weapon of choice in Eastern DRC, with numbers reach-

ing endemic proportions,” she told the security council. “The sad reality is that incidents of rape have become so commonplace that they do not trigger our most urgent interventions.” Wallstrom last month warned leaders of rebel groups that they could be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court because widespread and systemic sexual violence can constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.Congo’s permanent representative to the U.N., Ileka Atoki, expressed his “deep disgust” with the mass rapes and thanked the security council for investigating the attacks. “These heinous acts, that have become a weapon of war, are one more episode of the unspeakable suffering that the people of Congo have been plunged for more than a decade now,” Atoki told council members. Atoki told the council that his country would continue to need international help to combat the attacks, characterizing national police sources as “pathetic. ” But international backing for efforts to end the protracted conflict in eastern Congo are just as important, he said. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who had been traveling in Europe, unexpectedly flew Tuesday to Rwanda, to discuss with officials their threat to withdraw U.N. peacekeepers from Sunday if the United Nations publishes a report accusing Rwanda’s army of possible genocide in the 1990s. The joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur is commanded by a Rwandan, Lt. Gen. Patrick Nyamvumba, and the country has over 3,200 troops and 86 police in the nearly 22,000-strong force. U.N. officials and diplomats have said a Rwandan pullout from Darfur would be a major blow at a time of increasing violence and fresh efforts to end the seven-year conflict.

lar classiﬁed advertising site, which was founded by Craig Newmark. Markoff committed suicide in the Boston jail where he was awaiting trial. If Craigslist has left the adult services business for good, it won’t likely diminish the online market for sex acts, said Steve Jones, a professor of communication at the University of Illinois in Chicago who has studied Internet culture. The business will likely shift to other adult sites, perhaps based outside the United States. “I bet there are people today who are registering domain names and saying: ‘Business opportunity for me,’” he said.

theWORD What I did not find while in Africa The A&T Register | ncatregister.com | Wednesday, September 8, 2010

Growing up the media has embedded in my mind that even though Africa is known to be the cradle of mankind, its current state is nothing more than a disease stricken, impoverished land. Contrary to their reports, I saw something on the opposite end of the spectrum on my recent trip to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Last week, I was afforded the wonderful opportunity to travel to the lands of my ancestors. Serving as an official student representative, I along with four other Aggies were part of the African Presidential Roundtable 2010: Leadership Solutions to Land Reform in Africa. Throughout this prestigious conference hosted by the African Presidential Archives and Research Center at Boston University, I got a greater insight

on the problems of land reform and property rights that still linger in these nations that were once dominated by European powers Along with a greater knowledge of this important issue as well as an opportunity to meet seven former presidents of several African countries, I also got to form an opinion, first hand, of the land in which not only the media, but also the education system deemed a land of sorrow. From the moment I stepped off the plane, the preconceived notion of an impoverished land was immediately stricken from my mind. From the modernized airport, to the communication between the Tanzanians and my group, those notions were proved wrong. As we traveled from the airport to our hotel I was interest-

ed to see what the city was like. No where did I see random lions, tigers, or elephants roaming the streets like pop KELCIE culture has MCCRAE shown us. No where did I see babies with swollen bellies and a plethora of gnats around them like the commercials on television have taught us. No where did I see barbarism amongst its people in which many educational institutions have discussed with us. Instead, what I did see were immaculate hotels that resembled many of the 5-star ones back in the states. I saw a beautiful and proud people who did

not resemble the barbarians many textbooks have shown us. I saw modernized infrastructure and ways of life. Throughout my stay, I grappled with the question of how these notions could have come about of a continent with so much beauty. It has led me to believe that not only has the media instigated this terrible stigma, but it also seems our educational system has virtually done nothing to disprove these allegations. I remember when I was in the second grade at my all white elementary school, we had a to do a narrative project on something that was important to us. I chose to do my piece on Africa, and explain that was the place where I originated, for that was what my parents taught me. I explained in my project about how my people were

kings and queens, and lived on a beautiful piece of land. I took much pride in my project, and when it was my turn to present, instead of oohs and aahhs that I was expecting, I was met with pointing and laughing from my peers, and even a muffled laugh from my teacher. They told me that Africa never had kings and queens or pretty lands. They said all Africa had was animals and ‘crazy’ people. I find a problem with this. More reporting on the positives of countries like Tanzania need to be done. An in-depth look should be done on its natural beauty for it is a country that sits on the coast of the Indian Ocean. Reports on its advances should be covered just as much as it regressions. In 2003 during a speech

in Sweden, former president George W. Bush said, “ “We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease.” Just like any nation and country, there are the developed parts and the not so developed areas. What makes places like Tanzania different? I’m sure that there were places not as nice as where I was staying in Dar es Salaam,; however, I feel that the negative parts over shine the positive parts of the lands. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with my stay in Dar es Salaam. I enjoyed every moment of it, and strongly suggest that before you judge a place your big toe has never stepped on, go to that place and witness it firsthand.

Find better ways to defang extremists

Aggie Life

McClatchy-Tribune News Service MCT Campus

Pakistan’s floods are spreading devastation and human suffering across the very countryside where Islamist extremists are working overtime to portray the West, particularly the United States, as evil. Despite the slow arrival of $200 million in U.S. aid, an important opportunity to win hearts and minds could be slipping away as the extremists seize the initiative. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has sounded the alarm that extremist groups are using disaster aid as a recruitment tool. In Yemen, al-Qaeda is gaining a foothold by providing teachers for rural schools where the government hasn’t. So it bears asking whether the United States can find more ef-

fective ways to meet humanitarian needs in such places and win hearts and minds before the militants do. Similarly in Somalia, Sudan, southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, militants are relying less on coercion to boost support, instead exploiting poverty and an absence of government authority. They typically portray the West as caring only about military dominance, while offering themselves as the benevolent providers. The United States too often helps solidify that image. As Pakistan assessed its flood damage, the United States continued its campaign of drone attacks on militant hideouts along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan. One such attack occurred Aug. 23 while flooding raged, killing 13. Three days earlier, a strike killed four; one the previous week

killed 12. Recent polling indicates that 60 percent of Pakistanis view the United States as an enemy. Two weeks ago, U.S. officials renewed concerns about security threats posed by the Somali militant group al-Shabab, raising the specter of new U.S. missile and air strikes similar to a series from 2007 to 2009. And in Yemen, where al-Qaeda’s presence is growing rapidly, the Obama administration is talking about a “ramp-up” over coming months in U.S. offensive military operations. Certainly, a military response is necessary when provocations merit it. But terrorism specialists warn that the United States could play into Islamist groups’ hands by letting violent actions seize the headlines over other efforts to defang the extremists. Missile strikes

and other military action help extremists find followers. Recruiting isn’t so easy when the example of “evil” is a donated sack of flour or a new school. “For an ideology to resonate, there has to be some sort of grievance,” says Peter Neumann, a radicalization specialist teaching at Georgetown University. “If you take away the grievance, the ideology won’t resonate anymore.” As the extremist network widens and public support for war dwindles, the Obama administration must look harder at other options. A well articulated and publicized plan aimed at addressing humanitarian needs before the extremists arrive could be a more effective long-term strategy to deny them the foothold they seek.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor,

Evan Summerville

I am a part of the many females on this campus who decided to go natural. I cut off my hair in 10th grade long, before it became a fad, and do not appreciate being lumped into a group, incapable of thinking for themselves, because I am by no means a trend follower. If a young woman wants to wear her hair natural despite having “dry, brittle and extremely nappy” hair, then that is her business. The author refers to certain natural hair as “short curly, but mostly nappy bushes.” She could not say “kinky bushes?” It is clear that she is referring to nappy in a negative way. Historically, “nappy hair” has never served as a term of endearment. That statement does nothing but perpetuate the “good hair, bad hair” riff within the Black community. I have never heard a woman say she is going natural because she wants to be healthier. The common answer among women is that they want their hair to be healthier. The author should have immediately questioned the young man

about his nonsensical statement. As for everybody not being able to pull off natural hair, I honestly do not even know how to begin ripping that statement to shreds. How does the author figure that the way a woman’s hair grows out of her head naturally does not look good on her, but applying toxic chemicals, sewing a horse’s tail on, and/or gluing a wig to her forehead does? Of all the stupid trends that are going around on this school’s campus and across the country, the natural hair trend is what bothers her most? There are girls walking around this campus with tracks and weave falling out of their heads. Boys wearing fake plastic “bling” with their jeans hanging off of their behinds. Girls who put layers upon layers of makeup caked on their faces. Boys sportingly referring to females as “b*ches” and “h*es” because it’s what certain rappers do and this writer felt the need to address natural hair as being a bad trend? -Justine M. Riddick

AGGIES INSIDER Amber Inman, a senior sports science and fitness management major is a crucial part of her team, with her being a senior on an overall young team. She hopes that her knowledge of the game and love for it helps the team achieve success. The preseason started on Aug. 2 and Inman and her teammates used that time to create a positive attitude for the upcoming season. A&T Register reporter Ashley Vaughn talked to Amber about her collegiate volleyball experience.

A.V.- With this being your last college volleyball season, which season would you say you performed at your best, and why? A.I.- I would say that this year is starting to look like the best year so far, but past wise, I would say my sophomore year. I was a better defender and I actually took someone’s starting position and was successful. My freshman year was also AMBER INMAN a really good year; I had 32 aces, which lead the team. A.V.- Compare your freshman year to this year, with your knowledge of the game and your performance taken into consideration. A.I.- As a freshman I was young and new to the style of college play, but I adjusted well. My senior year has started off good and the stats and performance that I have already put up with nine freshmen looks good. I have already received all tournament from the High Point tournament we participated in. A.V.- How would you describe the team dynamic? And how do you and your teammates make sure success is achieved? A.I.- With the team being all freshman and having a senior hopefully will motivate them to rise up and try to all be leaders. But we look forward to setting our goals and meeting them, each and every game; win or lose. We have to reach our goals as a young team in order to build this program right now, and I think we are on the right path. A.V.- Since you are about to graduate, what advice would you give your younger teammates? A.I.- Work together to make the goal easier to achieve; multiple minds are more likely to succeed than one alone. A.V.- What would you say is your favorite moment being on the volleyball team? A.I.- Being able to accomplish goals that we set for ourselves. One goal we had was to try and win the first set of every match and when we do, we always win. And another one was to be the first to get 20 points, and we will usually win. A.V.- What is going to be the thing you will miss the most about being on the team? A.I.- Just being around girls who love the game of volleyball. A.V.- What are your plans after you graduate? A.I.- I want to coach the game of volleyball at the college level somewhere, and teach other girls the game. A.V.- Is there anything you want to say to your team that you may not have said before? A.I.- Hard work always pays off and it starts off the court first, and then you carry all of that hard work onto the court and that’s where you win. Even though this season has not begun the way the lady Aggies would have liked, they hope to turn their record of 1-5 into a winning season. Inman will lead the ladies in to Charlotte, N.C. on Friday for the Charlotte Invitational.

definitely missed [Kindle] our quarterback. We wanted to be very optimistic with Mr. [Terrence] Webb, but he definitely didn’t play very well and we had to substitute and bring in our senior quarterback who did some good things.” The Rams backup quarterback did even better as they began their final drive from their own 22-yard-line. On the first play, Smith took the ball on a bootleg to the right for seven yards and

was hit late out of bounds by junior linebacker Jamal Wardlaw who was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Four plays later Smith was able to take off for 38 yards down to the Aggies four, and with 41 seconds left in the game he was able to avoid a tackle on the goal line and score the game winning touchdown. “We could have made a big play and instead of us making the big play he made it,” said Lee. “Right there in the end, had a great call, one-on-one tackle. He makes the play, we don’t,

and that’s what this thing boils down to. We can make some great calls but it boils down to playmaking.” Smith would complete a pass to Tyrone Goldston on the two-point conversion to put the score at 21-14. The Aggies will be heading into Saturdays’ game against Norfolk State with a new starting quarterback, senior Shelton Morgan, who replaced Webb in the third quarter. “He probably will. The way he played this week, he’ll probably be our starter,” said Lee. “The bottom line is until

one of them gets consistent, that will be what we go with.” Lee is optimistic that the Aggies 0-1 start to the season is not something fans should be worried about. “We go 10-0 from here because we gone make adjustments,” he said. “We gonna go back to the drawing board and do things that our senior quarterback can get done, and we gonna roll from there. So we still excited about and optimistic about our season.” The game against Norfolk State will be played at 4 p.m. in Norfolk, Va.

After opening the season with three losses, the North Carolina A&T volleyball team defeated Savannah State on Friday evening. In front of a home crowd at Corbetts Sports Center, the Aggies dominated Savannah State to gain their first win of the season. The Aggies defeated the Tigers of Savannah State 3-0 (25-15, 25-22, 25-12). Freshmen Tatiana Cooper led the Aggies to victory with 14 kills. “She did a great job of finding the point,’’ said head coach Toni Conway. “She also did a great job of turning over some sets.” Cooper also recorded six digs to earn MEAC Player of the Week honors; the first Aggie to do so since Assistant Coach Arlene Mitchell was named player of the week in October 2006. Senior Amber Inman recorded 27 assists to aid in the Aggies victory. Inman, the only senior, has a strong presence both on and off the court. “Her role is very impor-

tant, not only is she the only senior on the team she is also our starting setter as well as the captain of the team,” said Conway in reference to Inman’s role on the team. In the first set A&T came out strong gaining a quick 9-4 lead and continued to dominate to earn a 25-15 victory. After losing the first set by double figures the Tigers came out more physical and energetic, and battled A&T for control of the set. The Aggies defeated Savannah State 25-22 in a close set, which saw both teams gaining and losing the lead. The Aggies proved to be too much for Savannah State in the third set. A&T opened up the set with an 8-3 advantage and dominated the rest of the set to earn their first victory of the season. With a win behind them the Aggies hit the road again on Tuesday and faced Marshall and Morehead State in Wilmington, W.Va. Marshall as well as Morehead defeated A&T 3-0. The Aggies fell to 1-5 on the season and will face Alabama A&M on Friday at 4:30 p.m. in Charlotte N.C.

‘Machete’ is no dull blade

2010 MTV Video Music Awards The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards is full of performances and guest apperances. But most importantly, who will be getting a moonman this year? Winning the Best New Artist award in 2009, Lady Gaga is nominated for thirteen awards for this year’s show including Best Dance Video and Video of the Year. Performances include Drake, Eminem, Justin Beiber, Jason DeRulo, Paramore, Usher, Kanye West and many more. For more information on the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards go to: www.mtv.com

‘Machete’ is a revenge plot about an Mexican federal police officer turned vigilante known only as Machete. Directed by Ethan Maniquis and Robert Rodgriquez, this movie was originally created as a spoof trailer for the 2007 double movie feature “Grindhouse.” Due to the popularity of the fake trailer a full movie was created. Danny Trejo stars as the main protagonist Machete. Although Trejo may be a relatively unknown actor, there are many notable actors and actresses in the movie. Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez and even Lindsay Lohan all have parts in this flick. The movie opens with its main character in Mexico as a federal agent, riding with his partner into unknown danger to save a young woman against their superior’s orders. We are introduced to his courageous ways and his weapon of choice, ironically a machete. Fast forward three years later and we find Machete in Texas. He has gone from a Mexican federal agent to a day laborer struggling to get work. Senator McLaughlin, played by De Niro, is trying to get reelected using his strong stance against illegal immigrants and his plans to close the U.S. boarders. McLaughlin’s assistant explains to Machete that the senator is misguided and has

to be assassinated for the sake of all immigrants and the U.S. economy. Machete is then given an ultimatum: kill McLaughlin or be deported. He must decide who is a friend or foe. ‘Machete’ is a fun film filled with over the top violence, gore, dry humor and political undertones. However, be advised this move is rated R for strong bloody violence, language, some sexual content and nudity.

If you are familiar with director Robert Rodriguez’s other films (From Dust Till Dawn, Sin City, Planet Terror) this doesn’t come as a surprise. If you are faint of heart or cannot stomach bloody scenes and dismemberments this movie likely isn’t for you. ‘Machete’ made over $11,300,000 in its first week at the box office and landed into the number two spot behind ‘The American’ starring George Clooney.

Why we’re watching this show: Last season was filled with heart-racing moments with a gunman shooting through the halls of the hospital. Storylines for the main characters were mainly resolved before the end of the finale, eliminating the usual “cliffhanger” formula. Actress Katherine Heigl confirmed that she is no longer with the show, causing hopes for an Izzie/Alex reunion to end. Whatever next season has in store will most likely be as exciting as past seasons of the show. The seventh season premiere will be on Thursday, Sept. 23 at 9 p.m on ABC.

Why we’re watching this show: Entering the seventh season, “House” returns to Fox Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. “House” is an innovative take on the medical drama. It is a series in which the villain is a medical problem and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients.
