News Argus, November 1999 Student Life Photo by Natior^al Marketing Service “The Stunning" ring provides protection while logging, working or dating. It should be worn with pre caution and used appropriately. “Stunning” ring provides elegance and protection Nicole Spruill Reporter You heard the saying "Jewelry is a girl's best friend," well there is a hot item out now proving that statement correct. Joe Hippensteel has designed an elegant ring for women not only suitable for everyday wear, but it is protective as well. This product is called "The Stunning." "The Stunning" is a ring designed for women that helps protect women from date rape and violence. You're probably thinking. How does this work? The ring contains the strongest defense pepper spray on the mar ket. The formula is used to deter attackers and slow them down so you can escape. The effects of this spray causes severe discomfort lasting up to 45 minutes. So think about your safety first. "The Stunning" is made of sterling silver and genuine black onyx, but it is not a toy. "The Stunning" should not be worn while driving, flying, or operating difficult machinery. Keep the ring away from wet areas and jewelry cleaner, and make sure the spray hole is dry at all times. Following these rules will keep you and others out of danger. If handled carelessly you can suffer immediate tempo rary visual impairment, difficult breathing, coughing, and choking which only time can heal. Wind, rain and temperatures below 32 degrees F and other hectic condi tions may cause a defect with the pepper spray formula. For extra protection continue to carry your large container of pepper spray.

The recently crowned Mr. Ram plans to help lead the univer sity in a positive direction for the future. Items in Johnson's itinerary include community interaction, seminars, workshops, and building better relationships between stu dents. Before Johnson can hold semi nars and interact with the commu nity, he must overcome the varying views and perceptions students have had about him since he became Mr. Ram. "Since becoming Mr. Ram," Johnson says, " I have encountered a lot of jealousy and people saying bad things about me who don't know me. On the flip side, many doors have been opened for me and I am more involved in school activities." Johnson confirms that he is com fortable being called Mr. Ram by his peers and that it feels good to have someone acknowledge him by that name. Johnson has devised a plan to increase the already close relation ship between Winston-Salem State University and the community. One plan involves trips to home less shelters. Another plan involves visiting area middle schools and high schools in order to mix and mingle with the stu dents and to give motivational speeches. Since being crowned Mr. Ram, Johnson has been even more con cerned with the status of the uni versity. "I just want to be an important figure for the school, ful fill certain responsibilities and rep resent the student body," Johnson said. Johnson is also concerned with the position of African-American men in the next millennium. "I plan to be a good role model for young black men. To show them that there are positive black men who are doing something positive with their future," he says. Though we do not know what the future holds, one thing is for sure; Ahmad Johnson is a con tributing factor toward the future success of WSSU.
