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.

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.” SEE STORY A3 photo by Mario Herring Stegall's Food has come under the attack of many Atlanta University Center students, who say the popular eatery is too expensive.
