In late July, students arriving for their summer classes were greeted with mas-sive fallen trees where the Greek plots once stood. As Fayetteville State Univer-sity prepares to construct its newest build-ing, drastic changes have come underway. New construction projects include erecting a new science and technology building, reno-

vating the Lily Gymnasium and beautifying the area around the Chestnut Library.

FSU is in the process of constructing the science and technology building on the west side of campus. The complex, which will cost an estimated $18 million, will house the science, technology, engineering, and math program (STEM). It will be four stories tall and will include classrooms, labs, an outdoor patio and a café. According to construction plans the building is scheduled for comple-

tion in late 2012, and will be open for classes in spring 2013.

An open forum took place last school year to see how students would react to the con-struction and changes. During the forum stu-dents agreed to relocate the plots, although initially various members of sororities and fraternities denounced the plans.

According to students and faculty, Fayetteville State University’s intersession “experiment” this summer went well.

All nineteen intersession courses com-bined received an average of 4.77 out of 5 on the course evaluations required of students. The faculty also had great things to say.

Was the intersession a success? “Amen!” said Dr. Jane Smith, interim director of summer school. “It turned out better than we hoped.” The intense 12-day summer session has received nothing but praise.

Quite a few intersession classes travelled as a part of the curriculum. The biology 350 class took trips to a marsh for hands-on experience with nature. Professor Gam-mans took his business class to New York City where they visited the New York Stock Exchange and met with Morgan Stanley advisors. Professor Hatcher’s dance class also visited the Big Apple where they had the opportunity to meet George Faison, a famous dancer who has worked for the Alvin Ailey Dance Company.

The trips were fun, but more importantly they allowed students to see the opportu-nities they have career-wise. In fact, one student realized after meeting with the Morgan Stanley advisers that she needed to

work harder. Travel wasn’t the only perk of the intersession. The small classes created a sense of community where everyone was fully involved. Students could rely on each other, and not just the professor for help. And because students are limited to one course, they’re able to focus easier.

At the end, the faculty participated in a ‘hot wash’. They expressed their thoughts and concerns concerning the intersession experiment. One professor said it was the best class he had taught in years. Another said they actually had more time to teach. All the professors agreed that the inter-session gave them more freedom which allowed for the use of non-traditional teaching methods.

Students and faculty can look forward to participating in the intersession next sum-mer. Dr. Smith wants to advertise earlier so more people can take advantage of the program. She plans on having the summer school Web page updated with summer 2012 information by November. Students should also be on the lookout for flyers.

With the victory of this intersession there could possibly be similar opportunities during fall, spring or winter breaks in the future. But these are just ideas. As for now, any students interested in taking summer school next year should consider an inter-session course. It is intense, but based on the feedback, it’s worth it.

Intersession proves to be successful

Being back on campus for some of you means reliving old memories with friends from last semester, and looking forward to creating new ones. While for others walk-ing through these familiar buildings brought back the dread of all the hard work that is to come with calculus homework, five minute speeches and mid-terms. However, for some of you, this is your first year on the campus of Fayetteville State University and you are both excited and a little anxious about what we have in store for you this semester. No matter which category you fall into, I hope that you all enjoy your time here and have a very successful semester.

Members of The Voice staff thought it would be a great idea to give you a few tips or words of advice on what you’re in for. From relationships and addictions to your studies and Homecoming, I want everyone to know

that there is a lot of help for those who need it, and opportunities for those of you who are hungry enough to seek them. Explore your options. This year your major may be biology but if you have a passion for dance, enroll in a dance class. Trying new things is a part of the college experience.

Get involved in something, anything, or everything you can. FSU has so many differ-ent organizations and clubs, there is sure to be something that interests you. Four years seems like a lot, but it goes by fast. You all have the opportunity to be the next Miss or Mr. FSU, editor-in-chief of The Voice, pro-gram director of an organization or a club president if you apply yourself. Saying the sky is the limit is still putting a cap on all the potential you have right now.

There was a reason why you all have de-cided to attend FSU or to even bother coming back to it. Whatever your reasons were, don’t let them go. Turn those reasons into actions.

Remember our motto broncos, res non ver-ba. Deeds not words.

Welcome back students

This summer, for the first time in his term, President Barack Obama was tasked with raising the debt ceiling. The nation witnessed a near political brawl over a usually laconic process. A Republican-controlled House refused to cooperate with a Democrat-controlled Senate; hence, the US was almost brought to economic disaster as a deal was approved by Congress at almost the very last minute.

This type of government action was virtu-ally unfamiliar to the new generation. What is the debt ceiling? Why does it need to be raised? How does this affect me? All types of questions were being asked as legislators quarreled at the economy’s expense.

A Bit of HistoryThe debt ceiling is the limit to which the

federal government may borrow money. In the early 20th century, legislators would vote on taking out loans each time it was neces-sary. To streamline the process, Congress passed a measure, the Second Liberty Bond Act of 1917 that would act as a general borrowing limit. This limit would permit the government to borrow, without votes, up to the respective limit to which funds were necessary. For example, Congress might ap-prove a debt limit of $2 trillion, although the U.S. might only need to borrow $750 billion.

The U.S. is the only industrialized na-

tion with a debt ceiling. Other modernized countries borrow funds as their leaders deem necessary.

Why Borrow More? In May, the federal government breached

the debt ceiling, meaning it had borrowed the maximum authorized amount of $14.3 trillion.

To continue paying its bills, employees & military salaries, entitlements to veterans and seniors, and many more financial responsi-bilities the debt ceiling had to be raised by August 2 to prevent what some analysts said would be an economic meltdown. Had a deal not been agreed upon, the government would’ve been forced to operate on a cash-

only basis, using a cash reserve of about $74 billion to pay a select amount of obligations.

Raising the Debt CeilingBecause the president is not able to use his

executive powers to sign bills that regulate funds, it was up to Congress to formulate and pass legislation detailing cuts and revenues, similar to a personal budget plan, to help get the government’s affairs back on track.

In the end, a bill that did not include new revenue sources was agreed upon by Congress. Although the U.S. debt, in relation to its economy, is the highest it’s been in 50 years, lack of compromise and organization in Congress gave the president two choices: reject the deal with the most support and risk not raising the ceiling by the deadline, or accept a deal that contained more Republi-can-favored clauses and cuts and dodge a possible economic tailspin. Obama signed the bill to avoid an economic catastrophe.

The End-ResultThe new legislation makes some of the

steepest cuts since President Eisenhower’s leadership in the 1950s. Though cuts to fed-eral education are included in the estimated $2 trillion slashed from spending, an ad-ditional $17 billion in funds were allocated to the Pell Grant program for low-income students. This does come at a sacrifice for graduate students, who will no longer receive the in-school subsidy on subsidized loans, reported by eSchoolNews.com. They will now have to pay the interest that ac-

cumulates on their loans, even while they’re still attending school.

The debt ceiling showdown was an ex-ample of the perils ideological governance can cause. Having been raised several times by most Congresses, the ceiling was never a great controversial matter until Obama sought to raise it. According to the White House Office of Management and Budget, only former President Truman did not raise the debt limit.

In a short address to the nation prior to the debt ceiling’s resolve, Obama outlined the importance of raising the debt ceiling.

“Raising the debt ceiling does not allow Congress to spend more money. It simply gives our country the ability to pay the bills that Congress has already racked up,” he said. “In the past, raising the debt ceiling was routine. Since the 1950s, Congress has always passed it, and every president has signed it. President Reagan did it 18 times. George W. Bush did it seven times. And we have to do it by next Tuesday, August 2nd, or else we won’t be able to pay all of our bills.”

Part of the reason behind the bicker that lasted for weeks was the inclusion of a rev-enue source in the bill. While most Demo-crats in the Senate and House advocated for ending Bush-era tax breaks, rookie House Republicans, in their loyalty to the Tea-Party, opposed all stipulations to raise taxes. Their claim was that higher taxes would stifle corporations’ ability to create jobs for the American public.

The Debt Ceiling: An unnecessary showdown

by L’Asia BrownInterim Photo Editor

Dissatisfied with Congress’s lat-est debt ceiling deal and constant posturing, several agencies includ-ing Standard & Poor’s have down-graded the US credit rating.

For the first time in history on August 5 S&P lowered the na-tion’s long-term sovereign rating to “AA+” from “AAA.” A shorterm rating of “A-1+” was also affirmed with S&P.

These actions have affected global markets. Within hours of the news, Asian, European and U.S. markets began plummeting. Stocks lost the most value within days, since some of the worst occurences during 2008’s economic disaster.

Before it happened, many Amer-icans didn’t even know the U.S. government had a credit rating or any record of financial account-ability. How does the U.S. gov-

ernment’s credit enable or prohibit it from doing both domestic and international business? Will the downgrade affect individual credit scores, assets, investments or debt?

There are many credit rating agencies around the world, in most sovereign nations. Out of the hun-dreds that exist, only 10 are Nation-ally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs). Those ten are acknowledged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commis-sion as being credible and qualified enough to provide their “opinions on the creditworthiness of an en-tity and the financial obligations (such as, bonds, preferred stock, and commercial paper) issued by an entity.”

These firms are: A&M Best Company, Inc., DBRS Ltd., Egan-Jones Rating Company, Fitch, Inc., Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd., Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Ltd., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.,

Rating and Investment Information, Inc., Realpoint LLC, and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services. Out of the 10, only Egan-Jones and S&P have lowered the government’s credit, with Weiss Ratings being the first U.S. based non-NRSRO to downgrade the nation’s score.

Fitch, Moody, and S&P are amongst the most popular.

According to a statement re-leased by S&P, the downgrade hap-pened because of two main factors: discontent with the debt ceiling deal and distrust of the current American political system and ability to effec-tively govern in terms of economic policy.

“The fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administra-tion recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be neces-sary to stabilize the government’s medium-term debt dynamics,” said S&P’s report. “More broadly, the downgrade reflects our view that

the effectiveness, stability, and pre-dictability of American policymak-ing and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative out-look to the rating on April 18, 2011.”

The lowering of the US’s credit rating does not directly affect per-sonal credit ratings. A person whose credit score was 710 before the na-tion’s downgrade, won’t see a drop in their score. According to some analysts, the downgraded credit rat-ing will have little to no longterm effects.

An August 8 Huffington Post sto-ry suggested that if trends similar to what happened when Japan’s credit rating was lowered in 2000 come to fruition, the U.S. could possibly benefit. Securities and bonds will see little to no damage on interest rates, the article suggests.

“Even with a downgrade, I think the market would assume the safest asset you could buy in a portfolio was still Treasuries,” said Rick Rie-der, the chief investment officer at New York-based BlackRock Inc.

Domestic and international mar-kets operate within suspicions, not actual credit ratings. Forbes’ Tim Worstall commented, “The move in the rating is simply confirming what the market already believes.” With exception to stocks’ nose-dive immediately hearing news of S&P’s downgrade, the market’s behavior reflected the economic cynicism long before Egan-Jones and S&P acted.

All in all, economists believe there is little reason to worry. Cred-it ratings of other nations, including Japan and Austrailia, have caused little casualty to their domestic economies.

The U.S.’s credit rating: Why did S&P lose faith?


Disability Act, the Chestnut Library is also undergoing minimal construction. In an effort to make the nursing building more wheel-chair friendly, FSU will create a courtyard where the narrow sidewalk that ran alongside the SBE used to be. A beautification project is being incorporated into these changes.

“For one thing, it will beautify the campus. Students will be able to sit down and enjoy the scenery,” said Harold Miller, FSU’s proj-ect manager.

University architect, Rudy Cardenas, feels this will generate more activity between the nursing building and library.

“It’s going to create a wow factor. Aestheti-cally it’s going to improve the sight. It’s go-ing to create an outdoor socialization place,” said Mr. Cardenas.

The Lily Gymnasium, which has been un-dergoing renovation since the end of the 2011 spring semester, is scheduled to reopen by the end of this year, said Gene Cottrell, director of facilities administration/budget.

Mr. Cottrell is happy that the gym will soon be open to students.

“It is a very versatile place, and it hasn’t been usable for a while. But hopefully it will be now,” said Mr. Cottrell.

The next project will be Renaissance Hall, FSU’s newest residence hall. With three sto-ries, a media room, recreation room and study area. The new dormitory will be larger than New Residence Hall.

Mr. Miller said it is estimated to be 82,300

square feet and will house 338 students. Most of the rooms will be double occupancy, with two students per bath area. The hall will also offer suites that house up to four students. These suites will be similar to University Place Apartments, in which each occupant will have a single room to themselves. The only difference is that students will have to share a bath with only one other student in-stead of two.

These projects are seen as the university’s way of moving forward and bringing the campus closer to FSU’s vision statement.

“It shows progress with the campus,” said Mr. Cardenas. “It’s recruiting students. It’s a great thing.”

Students have probably noticed the change in parking availability. The fences blocking certain walkways have inconvenienced both students and faculty.

Due to construction, be sure to take notice to the many areas that are off-limits. This in-cludes the walkways where the plots used to be and the sidewalk that connects the nursing building to the library. Parking lots M, AH, G, E and W are closed until further notice. In July FSU sent an email to students, faculty, and staff detailing how parking has been re-assigned.

“They should have had it finished before school started so parking would be more available,” said Albert Forster, FSU facilities management employee.

Mr. Forster feels that some of the parking closures are unnecessary, such as a portion of the circle in front of Bronco Hall. Others feel that parking is more available to construction

workers than to students and faculty. Although students saw tuition hikes for the

2011-2012 year, those extra funds are not be-ing used for the projects. The cost for all of FSU’s current construction projects were paid for by state funding that was allocated by the state legislature several years ago.

FSU name change comes up again during the summer by John CaldwellInterim Managing Editor

During a recent retreat at Fay-etteville State University, board of trustee member Dr. J. Wayne Riggins raised the idea of a name change, the Fayetteville Observer reported on August 5. The suggestion of changing FSU’s name to the University of North Carolina at Fayetteville is not a new idea. According to the Fayetteville Observer’s story, Riggins had spoken with three students who brought the name-change up. He, in turn, prom-ised to address it at a trustees meeting.

In 2002 State Rep., Bill Hur-ley of Fayetteville (now retired) proposed a bill to fund a study examining possible effects of changing FSU’s name. An old

Fayetteville Observer edito-rial, titled “UNC-Fayetteville? Studying name change is a good idea” suggested Hurley, “initiated what people had been pondering quietly for years…in near whispers.” The article goes on to reference the 16,000 FSU alumni “revering its cur-rent name while opposing the study.”

On September 26, 2002 the board of trustees voted no to the name change or a study, after students and alumni rallied against them both.

During the recent retreat, trustee Ben Brown said students expressed opposition to the name change. Although, accord-ing to the Fayetteville Observer, he added, “it warrants a good open discussion.”

FSU’s vice chancellor and

chief of staff, Thomas Con-way said, “Chancellor James Anderson has indicated that any discussion about changing the school’s name should be done in the context of potential benefits. School officials only should consider the move if it helps FSU accomplish its mission,” according to the Fayetteville Observer.As with most universi-ties, FSU’s name has changed several times throughout the course of history.

The most recent change was in 1969 when Fayetteville State College became Fayetteville State University, correspond-ing with its designation as a regional university by the North Carolina State Legislature.

The institution became FSC in 1963 when Fayetteville State Teachers College dropped

“Teachers” from its name to correspond to the expanded degree catalog. And the FSTC designation came about in 1939 when it changed from the State Colored Normal School.

The university began as the Howard School in 1867, and its name was changed for the first time in 1877 to State Colored Normal School.

FSU Names: 1867: Howard School 1877: State Colored Normal School 1939: Fayetteville State Teachers College 1963: Fayetteville State Col-lege 1969: Fayetteville State University

These individuals are loud or rude for no particular reason, unable to read, write, or perform basic math and find nothing wrong with being ill prepared. They seem not to know what is appropriate behavior whether around friends, teachers, the elderly or children. Wear-ing $150 sneakers and then complaining about having to pay for a $25 book out-of- pocket. Barely coming to class and when they do, they are normally unprepared and have the nerve to blame the professor after receiv-ing a low grade.

Unfortunately, being uneducated is a well-known stereotype of minorities and for some reason or another, un-educated minorities are considered “real.” Terms like “acting white” and “uppity” are still used by people of color to describe their educated counterparts.

But it is really the educated colored man or woman who is “real.” These individuals who pursue this idea of “real” actually believe that being uneducated is keeping them true to their culture. What these “real” people fail to realize is that they are usually nothing

more than functional illiterates. They are too quick to leave the pursuit of necessary social reform on the shoulders of educated people in order to be accepted into their peer groups.

No one person can change what so many minori-ties go through. It can only be accomplished with a combined effort. The most any person, returning to their home town, can do is assist those that are already assisting themselves in improving their lives. At some

point, one needs to take responsibility for their inactions. The multitude of successful African-Americans should serve as proof that anyone can change for the better. The fact that some decide to ignore this makes no sense. This form of “real” can lead to a life of welfare, prison, poverty, or an in-ability to properly provide for a family.

How can this perception of “real” be a thing of pride and a representation of be-ing true to ancestry? Slavery is part of the history of many races and cultures. It was a very lucrative business and according to some historians, even people of color,

participated in the selling and buying of slaves. The fact that slavery is in one’s past does not justify not tak-ing advantage of the numerous opportunities currently available. Pick up a history book and read how people

of color were people of economic progress, how they conducted business for gold, silver, spices and other items of value. People of color have a history filled with evidence

of intelligence and prosperity. To navigate ships one had to be knowledgeable in astronomy. In order to conduct business transactions they had to be capable of reading, writing and performing arithmetic. They were accoun-tants, engineers and architects.

This notion of “real” that embraces one being unedu-cated, disrespectful, using obscene language for all to hear, and other self-degrading behavior is ridiculous. Choosing not to better yourself means one will forever be dependent on someone else for survival. Leaving one with little to no power to dictate how one lives. It will leave individuals open to abuse and a permanent status as a second class citizen. Instead of believing education is for those who are “acting white”, “uppity” or for the few that are considered “smart”, understand this, hu-mans are intelligent creatures by nature. When individu-als, regardless of race or economic status, nurture their mind all is possible. Most smart people are ordinary folks who, through hard work, dedication and trial and error expanded their intellect. Be “real” with yourself, stop this foolishness of comparing education to “acting white” and make yours a priority.

Feeding into Stereotypes

The most any person returning to their home town can do is assist those that are already assisting themselves in improving their lives.

When individuals, regardless of race or economic status, nurture their mind all is possible.

Getting an eduction is as ‘real’ as it gets for many students
