‚“APPRECIATE and VALUE OUR art.‛
leeting Fiskites, While there was no letter from the editor last issue, I have been
coerced by my lovely staff to write one and continue for the remainder of the year. Let me start by saying, if I hear about this art one more time, I’m going to scream! Yes, the Attorney General was wrong in trying to steal our art. His shifty dealings speak to the way the law has always been used to oppress and deny the rights of peoples of color since the inception of this country. However, upon reflection, I find the entire situation troubling.
Here you have a group of Fiskites protesting their hearts out for Mr. AG not to take our art, but do people actually visit the Aaron Douglas Gallery or Carl Van Vechten Gallery? (The Aaron Douglas Gallery is on the third floor of the library by the way. And if you visited the galleries once during the Creative Arts Core class, that does not count.) Do you even know what the Steiglitz Art Collection is? Were Fiskites protesting to miss a day of class at the expense of our disregarded art? Without a doubt, the situation is more nuanced, but it makes me wonder how much do we value the arts at this liberal arts institution with our cut religion and philosophy and dramatics, speech, and dance departments? We remain silent as long as our more practical majors are safe, but what about the students that had to leave? Yes, we have to survive financially, but at what cost? Sacrificing students and protesting the snatching of art in order to raise funds? I hate to inform you, but we’re on our last legs as a liberal arts institution. Wait“ we still have core classes as we currently know them.
In the meantime, for the remaining true Fiskites out there, stress, value, and appreciate the arts on this campus. Visit the galleries and the art building. Support the artistic students on campus, no matter if they’re musical, visual, or literary artists. They’ll be famous one day. Read a book from a list
of literature that speaks specifically to black people that was in the last issue. Submit your literary works to the Fisk Forum at [email protected] to be published. Write comments to the Fisk Forum at [email protected]. Read this literary art, our Fisk Forum, without trashing it. This costs money. Act like
you’re used to something in your life. And if you’re not, try not to act like it.
In case you don’t realize, art is one of the highest forms of human expression. Cultures have been judged by their art and their views about it. As black people coming from a rich, artistic tradition, whether the bronze and wooden statues of the ancient Benin and Mali, collages of Bearden, or the cornrows cousin ‘Nae does on the front porch, WE know art. And if you say there’s too much emphasis on blackness at Fisk and ‚We need to be more
inclusive and
diverse.‛ Repeat
that aloud and smack yourself. You’ve basically said that you need to validate and justify your humanity as a black person. Now that’s incredibly absurd.
y point is simple and hopefully well taken. APPRECIATE and VALUE OUR art.
Fisk is intricately intertwined with the arts. The arts are us. So Fiskites value yourself. Enough of that.
While last month’s issue had a ‘Back to School’ theme, this month’s issue focuses on what Fiskites do best, treating people’s lives with dignity and class. We have a wonderful October edition that features a fantastic photo essay of the ignored art protest and tips on dealing with depression. Spot yourself among the pictures, read the feature, learn about changes in administration, and ponder about chivalry. Shout-out to the volleyball team. Get hype for Homecoming. Enjoy. Let us know what you [email protected]. Thanks for reading. A daughter ever on the altar,

“my right to not be oppressed by a
repressive, reactionary government.
I’m Just
Saying efore I begin, let me establish my Obama
credentials. I worked for the Obama campaign
as a volunteer. I supported his candidacy
openly despite being at an overwhelmingly conservative
high school, and I own various pieces of Obama gear.
However, there is a serious possibility that though the
upcoming election will be the first one in which I can
vote, I might not exercise the right. This admission will
undoubtedly bring indignation from the more civic
minded among us. They will probably protest my so
called lack of reverence for the sacrifices of the past. I am
not insensitive to such arguments, but I must rebut them
by saying that
what members of
the civil rights
generation were
really working,
fighting and yes, dying for was my right to not be
oppressed by a repressive, reactionary government. What
they were really fighting for was freedom in all of its
forms, not just the ballot. And that’s why I might not
vote. I do not feel any special obligation to vote
democrat, or to vote at all, just because our president is
Black. I did not support him simply because he is Black,
had I done so I would not be disappointed now, he is as
Black as he has ever been. No, I supported Obama
because he was an idealist, and for no other reason. I was
convinced that if change would ever come to America it
would come through him. That is why I, in my pre-ballot
high school days I supported Barack Obama. And that is
why in my enfranchised college days I may be forced to
withhold support from him.
I am not disappointed by the bailout. Nor am I
disappointed by his seeming inability to tame Congress,
as evidenced by H.R. 3962, the watered-down version of
the bold healthcare reform he promised during his
debates. I am disturbed by the president’s lack of
leadership in the area of human rights vis-à-vis the need
to protect the homeland. The proverbial last straw for me
was the case of a man, an Ethiopian citizen and legal
resident of Britain, 23- year- old Binyam Mohamed who
claims that in 2002 he was taken into C.I.A. custody,
given to Moroccan security forces, tortured, then returned
to the C.I.A. once deemed not a terrorist. When Mr.
Mohamed sought to sue a Boeing subsidiary whose plane
the government commandeered to transport him, the
lawsuit was peremptorily thrown out due to of the
government’s invocation of the state secrets privilege
which allows the executive branch to unilaterally decide
that a lawsuit or trial concerning anyone, American
citizen or not, cannot
go forward because it
may expose state
secrets.
In essence, according to this privilege, the right
to a trial becomes an idle privilege granted or denied at
the discretion of the executive branch. On his campaign
website President Obama criticized the Bush
administration’s invocation of the state secrets privilege
as a matter of transparency and ethics; he also promised
in a 2009 interview with Time magazine to review and
narrow the privilege to make it less heavy-handed. He has
not done this.

‚“a Fisk woman is classy and
a Fisk man is gentlemanly.‛
The privilege, which was established by legal
precedent in the 1953 case United States v. Reynolds, is a
tool of the executive branch and as such could have been
modified the day of Obama’s inauguration. Instead it has
been allowed to remain as it was under Bush, a malignant
tumor threatening to consume our civil liberties.
hat is why, come November 2nd, you may find
me at home, exercising the last right which the
government cannot interfere with, the right to
abstain from choosing between repressive regimes and to
not make a butchery of my conscience.
-Victor Bradley, 2014
Kiss Chivalry Goodbye
If you have ever been a
student of Fisk University, or
read the last issue of the Fisk
Forum, you have heard the
term ‚Fisk man‛ or ‚Fisk
woman.‛In the Fisk spirit, I
sat down and spoke to a
group of lovely Fiskites and
conversed about the
essence of Fiskites.
A young lady
stated that a Fisk
woman is classy
and a Fisk man is
gentlemanly. Unfortunately, this young lady was a
recipient of angry stares. Her peers believed her idea was
outdated and irrelevant to current student life at Fisk.
Thus the conversation moved to the topic of chivalry.
Chivalry has always been connected to knightly qualities,
such as generosity and kindness. A knight in shining
armor saving his damsel in distress. However, I wanted to
know if this idea of a ‚fair lady‛ and a ‚noble gentleman‛
was really dead? So I asked fellow Fiskites, “What is
your definition of chivalry? Is it dead? If so, who is to
blame? How have the roles of men and women changed?‛
I was showered by an array of answers that may surprise
some, and confirm the beliefs of others. Most students
defined chivalry as random acts of kindness and
consciously thinking about others in a polite way, but it
was not targeted toward a specific gender. Most students
told me that chivalry was dead.
Surprisingly, quite a few students agreed that women
have to take part in the blame for the soon-to-be
‚extinction‛ of chivalry. Is the new ‚independent woman‛
killing chivalry? It seems to be a contributing factor. The
new woman does not require a man’s helping hand;
therefore, the ‚noble gentleman‛ remains out of work.
However, the men
are not blameless.
The males of this
generation witness
through music,
entertainment, and
media that fidelity, respect for woman, good manner as a
thing of the past. Male artists in the music industry
promote the sexual exploitation of woman, as well as the
idea that women are nothing more than property to be
obtained or rubbish that is tossed to the wayside. Women,
victims of the mistreatment, have subjected themselves
toil-treatment, therefore, teaching young women that a
man has no boundaries and whatever he says goes.
Someone told me that chivalry was a mindset and if even
one person believes in it, it will remain alive. We should
admire their optimism but the chances of survival seem
slim. Maybe it is fair to say that we should all kiss
chivalry goodbye.

If It’s Broken,
Pick Up a
Hammer n 1981, Fisk student and staff member of the
Fisk Forum, Carol Nealy interviewed Fisk
University President Walter Leonard about the
state of Fisk University. President Walter Leonard
candidly answered student concerns. Interestingly
enough, those questions are the same questions
students are asking (or should be asking for that
matter) to our distinguished President The Honorable
Hazel Reid O’Leary. Questions in the 1981 interview
included: ‚Specifically, what do you see as some of
your accomplishments?‛; ‚Has relative foundation
support for Fisk increased or decreased?‛; ‚How
much financial support has the Nashville community
shown Fisk?‛; and my personal favorite, ‚What do
you see as the future for Fisk?‛ All of those
questions were asked in December 1981 and are still
pertinent to the current Fisk experience.
When President Leonard was asked about
the future of Fisk, he answered, ‚I think Fisk will
survive.‛ Can we say the same thing today? In 1981,
the endowment had been depleted tremendously,
students were staging protests, and tuition was rising
at an alarming rate. Thirty years after the 1981
article was published, Fisk finds itself in a similar
predicament. What has happened on these sacred
grounds that holds us in this inevitable tailspin?
Perhaps the real question is, “Why do
students feel like they can’t ask the administration
questions?” In 1981, the Fisk Forum had enough
power (or maybe I should say enough courage) to
ask the questions that Fiskites now either feel are
unnecessary, do not apply to their circumstances, or
simply do not care to ask.
This is a problem. Whether current
students feel that administration is unapproachable or
untruthful or have no feelings at all on the matter, an
elephant has entered the room, sounded his trunk and
sat on all of our toes. So, let’s deal with this intruder:
what are the real questions that need to be asked and
how do we go about answering them?

Continued from previous page
My grandmother always tells me, “Don’t
offer a complaint if you can’t offer a solution.” I
stand by this aphorism wholeheartedly, and I present
it to all Fiskites on a gold and blue platter. Fiskites,
we cannot stand on our crumbling grove and
complain about it without doing whatever we can in
our power to find some cement. We cannot talk
about the books in the library being too old to read if
we have never actually been to the library outside of
midterms and finals weeks. And, we cannot say that
our administration is not doing their jobs if we don’t
know what their jobs are and have not held them
accountable.
e have the right to ask questions. We
do not pay approximately $30,000
each year to sit around and complain
about how things should be without having enough
gall to find a way to fix it. If we want to know why
something is the way that it is, we need to ask.
Maybe if those on high saw a student body
concerned with the state of their degree-giver, and
not just the degree, Fisk would begin to lift itself out
of the trenches. In 1981, students were unhappy with
the state of their institution so they did what they had
to do to see change.
Take pride in your Alma Mater. Fisk has
always produced top-notch scholars and leaders,
even with the crumbling cement and age-old books.
We’ve always ranked among the top tier universities,
and we’ve always been able to hold our own outside
of our forty-acre bubble. Today is no different.
My grandmother also told me, “If it’s
broken, pick up a hammer.” This is my charge to
you. Let’s make this university what we want it to
be. Who’s ready to start nailing?

News and Views: The World Outside of Fisk
2010 Midterm Elections: Looking for Candidates among Crazies
‘Tis midterm election season boys and
girls! ‘Tis the season where we
come into contact with new faces
and familiar faces all promising
some form of the American
Dream. From better jobs and
lower taxes, to improved
healthcare and more money in
one’s pocket, numerous
candidates spend thousands of
dollars trying to convince
average people that they
represent not just a change in how business is run,
but also that they are just like you. It’s a song-and-
dance show that can be funny in some ways, yet the
joke is on you if you think that it’s not as serious as a
heart attack once those people that seem crazy get
into office.
his election season has been filled with
many interesting people, from Christine ‚I
am not a Witch‛ O’Donnell in Delaware, to
Jimmy McMillan of the ‚Rent Is Too Damn High‛
Party in NY. While some of these people you see on
TV do not seem remotely plausible as political
representatives, it’s important to note that an entire
career exists behind the ads and the smiling faces
and the campaign promises. If you really want to get
a grasp of how someone will be once they are in
office, do things the old fashioned way: Look at their
voting record. There are websites
such as www.votesmart.org which
allow you to see whether or not they
have supported your interests in the
past and where their loyalties lie.
For new candidates, read and
observe the interviews and
statements that they give. People
generally mean what they say at the
moment something comes out of
their mouth, so use you better
judgment when analyzing someone’s words.
o my words of advice during this crazy time
are the following:
1). Check out the facts. (Voting Record)
2). Check out the legislation. (Issues upon which
they DID or WOULD vote.)
3). Have fun! This amount of crazy only comes
around once a year.
HAPPY VOTING!!!

Cunning Linguists -Rena Stone, 2013 Submit literary works to [email protected] Autumn: A Season for Doubters By Kana Gaines I'm trying not to die, but it's autumn and the leaves are committing suicide in death pirouettes Silent amber prayers in flight And I, amidst the macabre show, have never been more aware of my own burdened disbelief October makes me wish for the faith of maple leaves. Fall: A Season for Dancers By Kana Gaines Today, the calendar tells me, Coy, and as though it were as simple As any other day, Is the first day of Fall Strolling majestically towards the promised Death of winter bearing rubies and gold Somber sure steady She begins her subtle sensual ritual of dance Her sienna and ochre ensemble overcome And blown away upon the applauding breeze She is aware that she will soon stand bare Yet her rhythm is set by remembrance Of Winters foregone The emptiness The cold The solitude She has survived She has grown taller She has reached deeper On she strides in faith toward fate Gilded robes falling about her Flouting time and full of grace
Interview with Kana Gaines Q: Who are you? A: Born in Houston, Texas, I spent equal parts of my childhood moving between the city and the rural East Tennessee town of Madisonville. Having been a true nomad as a child, I quickly learned the value and importance of flexibility and the necessity of cultivating my imagination. My young consciousness was aware of the polarities and possibilities of existence. I quickly became adept at quick-talking with a country twang, fast-thinking on a porch swing, and ever- watchful of things other than strangers and dark streets, things like lightening bugs and Nicodemus flowers and summer slugs. By the time adolescence began, I was permanently an Appalachian, where I was raised by my grandparents within the small community in which my great-grandmother had been among the first to have a house. By this time, I’d become far less sensitive to the duality of my existence; my concrete jungle instincts were buffed by the simple occurrences of a natural environment: the constant and consistent change of seasons, the dignity and omnipresence of trees, the morning call of roosters and the evening lullaby of katydids. Q:Why do you write? A:There are times when emotion transcends normal language. When my spirit feels filled to bursting, poetry is ever accepting and understanding of my unique plight and genuine need. So I write so that I may release those parts of my Self which have become so embedded within me that only my pre-self remembers and only poetry can re-capture.

CAUTION! Depression Ahead
Depression is different from being sad or feeling ‚down.‛
Everyone feels anxious, loses interest in enjoyable
activities, or gets stressed sometimes, but when it
continues for a long time or interferes with daily
activities, it may be more serious. Depression can change
who you hang out with, your study habits, how you feel
about yourself and so on. It can even lead to thoughts of
suicide. There are many types of depressive disorders; yet
they are all treatable if you recognize the signs. So take
notes and if you or someone you know shows signs of
depression, help.
STOP! Signs of depression
An unexplainable sense of sadness, despair, or
anger
Changes in eating and sleeping habits
Fatigue or lack of energy
Lack of enthusiasm and motivation
Extreme sensitivity to criticism
Withdrawal from friends
GO! Get help
Talk to a counselor, pastor or therapist
Exercise
Ask for help whenever you need to reach out
Do things you enjoy
Have a friend check in on you regularly
Meet new people
Think positively about yourself and your
situation
- Ravin Holcombe, 2013
Depression in a nutshell
Depression is a serious condition and should never
be taken lightly. Depression is considered a mood
disorder. According to the National Institute of
Mental Health (NIMH), normal blues or sadness are
momentary and will pass within a few days.
However, depression can interfere with daily life,
normal functioning and cause pain for both the
person with the disorder and those who care about
him or her. There are five different forms but the
most common two are major depressive disorder
and dysthymic disorder. There are several
symptoms of depression which include persistent
sadness, anxious or ‚empty‛ feelings, irritability,
restlessness, overeating or even appetite loss. The
NIMH website states that people with depressive
disorders do not all experience the same symptoms.
They also state that the severity, frequency and
duration of symptoms will vary depending on the
individual and his or her particular illness. Although
there is no single cause of depression, depression
may be a combination of genetic, biochemical,
environmental, and psychological factors. For more
detailed information on depression treatment and
symptoms, visit the NIMH website at
www.nimh.gov. –Frederick Caldwell, 2011
If you or someone you know is considering suicide, get
help from a counselor or health provider. Call the suicide
hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
Fisk University has on campus counseling services. To be
referred to a licensed psychologist, contact the Office of
Student Engagement.

“In Which School Are You?”
Do you know what school you’re in? Now I
know what some of you are thinking; ‚I go to Fisk!‛ Of
course you attend Fisk, but which ACADEMIC school
are you in within Fisk University? Most people I asked
didn’t know how to answer the question, so here are the
facts.
For all of the undergraduate students that attend
Fisk, there are two academic schools -The School of
Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Natural
Science, Mathematics, and Business. This is a system
used to help organize all of the departments and also
creates a new chain of command. Both academic schools
run in the same manner as before, and your major
determines in which school you’re classified.
his is how the new chain of command works.
For each major, there is an Academic Discipline
Coordinator and they are over that specific
major. The Academic Discipline Coordinator is the
person who is responsible for the operation of their
program on a daily basis. Following the Discipline
Coordinator is the Chair/Coordinator of these
departments. These people are the chairpersons for the
groups of majors (For example, the chairperson of Life
and Physical Sciences, are over the Physics, Biology, and
Chemistry departments). Chairpersons are responsible for
the planning of the curriculum for their respective
departments. Next in line are the Deans of each school.
The Deans of each school are head of the budget,
personnel, and curriculum.
Why would our small university decide to
divide into two smaller academic schools? One reason is
to give the appearance of larger departments. Instead of
ten nursing majors, ten pre-medicine and pre-dentistry
majors, the Pre-Health and Professions department
contains forty people. However, is it acceptable to give
the perception of having more people in each major than
what we really have. Some people are proud of their
major and feel that the new schools take attention from
their major. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Do you think Fisk University should have two
schools for undergraduates? How do you feel about not
being classified as your major, but instead under a
department? Send us your opinions on the issue to our
email at [email protected] and title the subject bar,
‚Fisk 411.‛ Hope to hear from you soon!
