Little Is Elected New Mass
Comm Club President
BY LORI MCELRATH
Staff Writer
Brian K. LitUe is the president of
the newly established Mass
Communications Majors and Minors
Club at Winston-Salem State.
Little explained that the idea for
organizing a club for mass
communications majors and minors
originated with Marie Downey.
He said that Downey had been
diligently working to establish the club
since the spring semester of last year.
“She expressed her ideas and hopes for
a club to a few instructors on campus,
and after about a semester it became a
reality”. Little explained.
As president. Little has several items
on his agenda that he would like to see
the organization accomplish.
The primary goal of the club is to
expose mass communications students to
every facet of the communications
industry. “We want to give students an
opportunity to develop networks, so
when they graduate, they’re not just
standing out in the middle of the street
with a sign that says 'HIRE ME'," he
said.
Little plans to invite people from
various broadcast entities around the city
to speak at the club’s meetings. During
those meetings, students will be able to
interact with people already in the field
that they are interested in, collect
business cards, and exchange names and
phone numbers.
LitUe is from Taylorsville. He is a
senior majoring in mass communications
with a minor in speech communications.

Blaze: Genuine Motown Sound
BY LORI MCELRATH
Staff Writer
The genuine Motown sound is back!
In this age of pumped-up jams and “do
me baby” type lyrics, along comes a
refreshing and mellow album that has a
positive message.
The name of the new album on the
Motown label is “Blaze 25 Years Later.”
The album was written and produced by
the group Blaze for Last Minute
Entertainment Productions Inc.
From R&B to jazz, this album is
packed with a mixture of sounds.
However, what makes this album truly
unique is the various messages that are
conveyed in each song.
One song on the album entitled, “We
All Must Live Together”, attempts to
encourage people to try to live together
in peace and harmony. Another song
entitled, “I Wonder”, talks about the
direction today’s youth are headed.
I don’t believe that this album
will be popular with the listening
audience, because it attempts to
inform as well as to educate.
These days, people don’t want
to be educated, they want to be
entertained. 1 think that the messages
in the music would have a better
chance of reaching people if the music
was up tempo. People are more likely
to learn the lyrics of a song if it has a
“funky” beat to it
People may not be ready to
accept some of the realities that are
presented in this album such as: loving
one another regardless of race,
society’s obsession with materialistic
things, and the drug and education
problems.
Regardless of the album’s
popularity, it encourages me to know
that there are young music groups like
Blaze that are Uying to make a
positive difference through song.
