Jam-the-Gym II Set
By Russell Rawlings
Jam-the-Gym II is set for
Saturday night at Wilson Gym,
and if you thought the origi
nal Jam-the-Gym was fun, you
haven’t seen anything yei.
Parkwood Mall merchants
and radio station WVOT teamed
up again with the Bulldog Club
to bring AC students and follow
ers a big night of activity at AC.
The second such promotion is
coming up this week, and plans
are in the making for an even
bigger night than was exper
ienced on Jan. 31.
It would be hard to top the
original Jam-the-Gym. AC de
feated Pfeiffer in overtime by a
53-49 score, and it was the first
loss of the season for Pfeiffer in
the Carolinas Conference.
This time around there will be
two games instead of one, and
there will be a bonafide dunk
ing contest held during both
games. The AC women host
N.C. Methodist at 5:30, fol
lowed by the men's game
between AC and Elon at 7:30.
The dunking contest will be
held among members of the
student body, and already a
great deal of interest has been
shown from the students who
"think” they have the baddest
jam on campus. If you’re one of
these students, don’t forget to
sign up at Wilson Gym for the
competition.
Registration will be held
throughout the week at the gym
with registration closing Friday
at 5 p.m. Semifinals of the
contest will be held at halftime
of the women’s game with the
finals held at halftime of the
men's game.
Drawings will a^ain be held
for prizes, sponsored by Park-
wood and WVOT will again
provide live radio coverage of
the game. Jam-the-Gym
brought a fine crowd into Wil
son Gym. and the players re
sponded with an excellent game
and a win.
Saturday night, however,
should be even bigger and
better than before. We came
close last time; this time we
should be able to really jam the
gym.

Black History Month Observed
By Jeffery Wlndley
When most people think of
the month of February, several
holidays automatically come to
mind. Holidays such as Lin
coln's birthday, Washington's
birthday, and Valentine's Day
are just a few of these. How
ever, there is another special
event that occurs in February.
This event is so special that in
stead of just being observed one
day, it is observed the entire
month.The special occasion be
ing described is Black History
Month.
Black History Month was
originally conceived by Dr. Car
ter G. Woodson on Feb. 11,
1926. It was originally known as
Black History Week and was
observed during the first week
of February. However, due to
the determined effort of men
like Woodson and others. Con
gress designated the entire
month as Black History Month.
It was hoped that at this time,
special emphasis would be
placed on the achievements of
black people.
In commemoration of this e-
vent, many national and local
organizations have coordinated
various activities to pay homage
to the month. This year's theme
is “Afro-American History:
Blueprint For Survival." ACC's
own Afro-American Awareness
Society has scheduied activities
as a part of the celebration.
Scheduled events include a
movie("The River Niger" —
seen on Feb. 9); a banquet
featuring Dr. William Griffin,
pastor of St. John A.M.E. Zion
Church, Wilson, on Feb. 18; a
display in the Hackney Library;
a mini-quiz, and a dance at
Wilson Woods Clubhouse.
