It's the students job now to go to these highschools and encourage these black students to come to TSU. We don't get too much help from alumni. We try to get the NAACP and other organizations involved, but it all turns on a deaf ear. I just don't want it to be too late if and when we all come together and oppose. Just look at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, MO.

Oh, I totally understand. I attended Kentucky State Univ. where we were going through the same thing. Fortunaly (if you want to call it that) even though as of 1999, we are 59% african american, out of the 34% that is white, (about 90% are non-traditional students). Oh, the other 5% is Hispanic.
