Kirt Campbell: the embodiment of true Viking Pride By Monique Boyce When Elizabeth City State Univer sity sports iriformation director, Milton Kirt Campbell, died on Sept. 15 of a heart attack, the university lost a dili gent worker, an invaluable friend, a priceless asset and a man who many say was the exemplification of Viking pride.

"He was always lively and kept things going aroimd here and he never missed a beat," Moody said. Others who knew and worked with Campbell said that he wiU also be re membered for his humorous personal ity and his ability to adapt to almost any situahon, while showing a truly unique Viking spirit and he always dis played an untiring love for his family and the University. A native of Hartsford, S.C., Campbell is survived by his wife, Marvette Norman; one daughter, Nadine Odom; and two sons, Aaron and Alan.

By Alaric Clegg Mr. Clegg is from Raleigh It’s tfiat red. That Spanish Red. The red that glows before sunset of an autumn’s crisp death. The smooth breezes of natural beauty that relaxes the soul, as does the rainbow and peace of mind. Eloquently placed in my presence, it’s that red. That Spanish Red. A taste of pleasure tenfold; unfamiliar to the naive heart striving blindly toward the crimson beacon. The hue that makes insects buzz near it's light with hopes of getting close without being burned. The color that excites the desire to caress the wounded heart and ease the pain away, allowing sentiment to play a mystical silhouette posing beyond the setting stars. Spanish Red. Solid. Spanish Red demands the good to stand and shine while time and emotion expose the style of sensuality and comfort, witnessed when Spanish Red quietly brightens a life. Spanish Red paints a beautiful picture of strength and longevity, easily overlooked by the color-blind and heartless. Shh... Let your ears leer while your eyes listen as Red serenades the world with complex simplicity understood by few, adored by the green and true. Listen and umagine... Imagine a tranquil rendez-vous with a Yellow Rose and nurturing hands outstretched. Red pierces the heart of contentment thoroughly and reveals it's hidden treasures. Soothing as silk’s seductive confidence during the midnight hour, Red lurks into the soul and banishes doubt to the outer reaches of afterthoughts-, engrossing you. Shh..., the magic has begun.
