The News Argus February 1995 - Page 9 CAMPUS HAPPENINGS "Raminiscence" - Loves Jazz BY ENRICO LEAK Staff Writer Do you love jazz? Have you listened to any great jazz music lately? Well, if you love jazz and if you like to listen to jazz music, then be sure to listen to the Raminiscence Jazz Combo of Winston Salem Slate University. “Raminiscence,” a jazz combo, was begun in Spring 1992 by Dr. Lee David Leggette, an associate professor of music. The word “raminiscence” is a combination of the word “reminiscence” and the university mascot, the ram and is defined as a backwards look on the past and the future accomplishments of the university. The combo was first utilized during WSSU’s 100th year Centennial Anniversary. “The purpose of the combo is to be a vehicle for the students to practice and express themselves in the field of jazz music. It is also used as a recruitment tool for the university,” said Dr. Leggette. Raminiscence Jazz Combo attended the International Association of Jazz Educators (lAJE) in Anaheim, California, January 12-15. Professional jazz artists and various great jazz musicians were in attendance. During the month of February , the jazz combo will perform at various functions on campus and around Winston-Salem. Reminiscence Jazz Combo musicians include James Armstrong, trumpet; Christopher Hinson, trombone; Scott Long, alto and tenor sax; Aaron Orr, piano; Dr. Lee David Leggette, bass; and Enrico Leak, drums. Black College Alumni Reunion Set Preparations are well underway for thousands who plan to attend the 1995 National Black College Alumni Reunion (NBCAR) in Miami, Rorida, March 23- 26. According to organizers, they expect a record crowd to attend the three-day event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. “We are putting the finishing touches on this event which is geared towards preserving black colleges and universities throughout the country,” said Trenae Floyd, president of NBCAR. NBCAR has planned a massive Job Fair & Business Expo, the Black College Showcase, numerous workshops and seminars, and a Preservation Ball for alumni. In all, more 125 companies are expected to participate in the Job Fair & Business Expo. Many recruiters are looking for students for entry level positions, as well as seasoned professionals who are looking to advance their careers. In addition to the companies attending the National Black College Alumni Reunion, historically black colleges and universities have made plans to recruit students to help boost their enrollment. Several colleges and universities which plan to attend include: Bennett College; Central State University; Clark Atlanta University; Florida A&M University; Grambling State University; Hampton University; Jackson State University; Morehouse College; Morris Brown College; North Carolina A&T University; Saint Augustine; Saint Paul’s College; Tuskegee University; Virginia State University; and others. One of the highlights for alumni will be the Preservation Ball, where graduates will hear about the importance of supporting their alma maters financially. The evening will culminate with ballroom dancing. Anyone interested in attending the Reunion should contact Dean Smith & Associates at (305) 893-2582. NBCAR organizers have selected the Crowne Plaza Hotel as the host site. Additional rooms are available at the Hyatt Regency Downtown. Discount Airfares are available from American Airlines.

Job Fair & Business Expo participants should contact Kathleen Tuitt at (305) 669-8203. Rams Are Ready from page 7 the victory and turned their attention to Livingstone. Livingstone was an interesting game because did not have a player taller than 6”6. They shot the lights out from the perimeter and almost stole a victory but the Rams pulled it out by seven in overtime. The Rams would finish out the season with three road games and the home finale against Fayetteville State. The Rams went down in defeat to N.C. Central as Levelle Moton erupted in the second half en route to his game high 29 points. The Rams could find no better luck at St. Pauls as they battled back from a 17 point halftime deficit only to come up short in the end. So it came down to the final week of the regular season. If the Rams could win their last two games against Livingstone and Fayetteville State and St. Aug would lose their remaining two games the Rams could move up to the fifth seed in the Southern Division. Neither was the case as St. Aug won a key game versus N.C. Central and Winston-Salem State lost to Livingstone by one in overtime and got blasted by Fayetteville St. on senior night 118-89. So the Rams ended the regular season at 8-18. Many Ram fans wonder What If... What if the Rams had not lost Eric Dark before the season began. What if the Rams had not lost Johnny Salley and Earlon Martin to injuries after Christmas and the biggest what if of all. What if the Rams could have shot better from the free-throw line. At press time it appeared that the Rams would have to face Hampton in the 11 a.m. game on Wednesday morning, the same team that eliminated the Rams a year ago. The Rams only lost by four the first time they met this season but this time around Hampton will have preseason All-CIAA player Kevin Gregory in uniform ready to go. It should be interesting to watch if the Rams will send Hampton into Division I with an early exit or if they will exit stage left and begin to rebuild for the future.
