Response to Question of the Week
How will Aggies survive tough economic times?

Congratulations to Bashir M. Ali for sending the winning entry! He will receive a $25 American
Express check compliments of the A&T University Bookstore.

Tough times can kill, but big symbols like Aggie must survive through the unity and solidarity of Aggie good-will and loving people.

We should stand as a brick wall to protect Aggie against any negative effects that tough times may
cause. Every one of us must generously pay money and/or time for Aggie's sake.

"Remember that even though circumstances are sometimes beyond your control, your actions and your attitude never are."
