Queen's Coalition Declares ‘Year Of The Male‘
By Tiana Harrison
News Editor
The Queen's Coalition
declared 1993-94 the “Year of
the Male” at Clark Atlanta
University in their efforts to
boost self-pride and unity.
They said they are reacting
to the widely spread myth that
the black male is an endan
gered species.
“I hate to hear them referred
to that way,” said Miss CAU
Charlene Curry. “They are
human beings not animals,”
she said.
“We have to start some
where,” said Kasey Phillips,
2nd attendant to Miss CAU.
"If a man loses his self-esteem
it eventually affects the fami
ly-"
According to Curry, CAU is
apparently a starting point to
decrease the number of black
single parent households in the
future. "We want them to feel,
that we care about them," and
added, “We want the everyone
to see that we are socially con
cerned and politically active."
“We were not just voted in
because of our pretty faces; we
have a responsibility to our
community,” said Phillips.
As representives of campus
organizations, the queens will
have responsibility to CAU as
well. One service activity per
month is their goal.
Visiting nursing homes,
cleaning the campus, and hold
ing forums that encourage the
continued support of the CAU
male are among the list of
activities the coalition has on
its' agenda for this year.
Stegall's Faces Student
Complaints; High Prices,
Poor Customer Service

Many Atlanta University
Center students say they are not
satisfied with the service and
prices at Stegall’s Food.
“The prices are too high. The
service is okay, but sometimes
they are not friendly,” Clark
Atlanta University sophomore
LaTosha Wright said.
She is one of more than a few
students to hold such opinions
about the local convenience
store, located at 132 James P.
Brawley Drive.
“It could use some remodel
ing,” said freshman Angela
Oates.
Sophomore Kenyond Gass
agreed. “They need to expand
[Stegall’s], make it nicer.”
However, for some students,
the store's appearance is not
their main concern.
“The prices are high com
pared to back at home,” said
Oates, who is from Chicago.
“The food is good, it’s just a
little overpriced,” said freshman
Erica Hudson.
John Stegall, Stegall’s owner,
said he understood students’
viewpoints; but, said they must
consider his position as well. “I
realize that students are in
school and they don’t have a lot
of money. My prices are as
cheap as I can make them in
order to make a profit and con
tinue my business.”

“According to President
Thomas W. Cole, Jr., without
students there would be no
University.
The President of Clark
Atlanta University said this in
response to students' concerns
about the quality of educa
tion, support services, and
student life at the historically
black institution.
President Thomas W. Cole,
Jr., said that he is committed
to improving and enhancing
all facets of university life.
One of the concerns
amongst students was the
personalities and services
provided in the student sup
port offices. “Administrators,
faculty and staff should pro
vide students with the proper
attitide to help them succeed.
By displaying a courteous,
positive attitude everyone can
work together to accomplish
