Farewell IV – Tiger embarks on new life journey
As I sit here I think if how I want to start my farewell article, I’ve always envisioned the people I’d thank and all the right things that I would say, but it’s actually all different now. First, I would like to thank God for giving me peace understanding […]
Farewell – Actor by night, editor-in-chief 24/7
Over the hill and into the imaginary gates of Grambling State University; now my immediate reaction was, “Where in the world am I?” As a native of Los Angeles, Grambling is a city that is big in size, but small in social activities, however it was the best thing that […]

T.H. Harris Auditorium was ‘turnt up’ with laughter last Wednesday night as comics Steve Brown, J.J Williamson and Tony Tone performed during the Tiger Fest2k13 Comedy Show.

Grambling placed first in four […]

Professor speaks about recent controversies
On April 15, 3 students were shot at Grambling State University. Recently, I found out that tuition went up beyond any reasonable explanation. Two weeks ago, this newspaper came out as a supporter of the one of the most idiotic issues in the history of human civilization- gay marriage (the […]
Faculty Speak Out
From an old Yoruba Proverb we have this gem: “Truth came to market but could not be sold; however, we buy lies with ready cash.” And hip-hop pioneer Ice T’s observation on censorship simply states, “Freedom of speech…just watch what you say.” Attributable to the Oxford English Dictionary, censorship is […]
