Class of 1990 Gets It Started by Tanya Williams, Winston-Salem State University’s Class of 1990 got the year started with a bang by sponsoring a “Let’s Get It Started” jam held during the first weekend of the school year. The event was a combination carnival and dance. The carnival which was held from 6 - 9 p.m., featured free balloons and paraphernalia displays by each of the campus fraternities and sororities. After dark, the festivity moved inside to Whitaker Gym with music played by James Cardwell. The opening ‘jam’ is just the beginning of the plans for the year.
