Director Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather movies of the early 1970s began a fine tradition of chronicling the fictional (and not-so-fictional) exploits of Italian mafioso. Alongside this mob-movie tradition arose a parallel tradition of great acting. In The Godfather, the torch was passed from Marlon Brando to his fictional son, Al Pacino, premiering the young actor's career as a Hollywood gangster. In The Godfather Part II, Robert DeNiro joined the ranks of these fictional mafiosi as well, revising the role of a mobster in Martin Scorsese's 1990 blockbuster, GoodFellas. In Donnie Brasco, the first mafia creation of director Mike Newell (Four Weddings and A Funeral), the silver screen Mafia family has come full circle.
Completing its longest unbeaten start since 1942, the baseball team (8-0) defeated North Carolina A&T, 17-3, Tuesday afternoon at historic Jack Coombs Field.

More than three years after the Board of Trustees took a number of steps that were, in part, designed to alleviate overcrowding in campus dormitories, students and administrators are still grappling with the problem.
There is one author I am sure every student at this University has read. One of the finest writers of the twentieth century, he has influenced countless lives and put hundreds of children to bed at night. Many students here, however, have chosen to ignore one of his finest messages.
