Yesterday, students had the opportunity to select a Homecoming king and queen by casting their ballots. But this time things were different the election took one day instead of two. The Homecoming Committee also under went a change this year by hiring a more diverse election committee than in past years. This is a prime example of a time when we should unite together and put all of the racial hatred to rest. Hopefully, GSU will not have to adopt the method many high schools have resorted to when electing a Homecoming queen.
Some high schools elect both a white and a black Homecoming queen to eliminate racial problems.
We should be mature enough to accept the king and queen elected regardless of skin color. The color of someone's skin should not come into play when deciding who should be selected to represent GSU this year. The Homecoming board has been working since February to organize this year's activities. Hopefully, their work will not be tarnished by racial problems. Perhaps this might be the year that we will unite as a university and accept either a white or black Homecoming king and queen and not make it a racial issue.
