Q: If your GPA is high
er than a 3.5, why isn't
there outside funding
available?
"Jackson," sophomore
business administration
A: Sorry Jackson,
because with the down
turn that the economy has
taken, many large corpo
rations and firms that, in
the past, had set aside
money for colleges and
universities in their bud
gets have begun to slowly
withdraw their financial
support. This being one of
the repercussions of the
recent white collar scams
run by companies such as
WorldCom and Enron. So,
in a nutshell, just because
these crimes do not seem
to affect Americans as
individuals, they appar
ently do in respects to
finances. Word of Advice;
Search engines such as
lycos, excite and yahoo as
well as Web sites such as
scholarships.com and fast-
web.com, are excellent
tools for researching the
many scholarships and
grants available to college
students.
Q: Is true that in the
future students will have
to pay for print-outs at
the Computer Lab in
RJR?
A: There has been talk
about charging students
for print-outs in the
Computer Lab but noth
ing definite has come
about. However, if it is to
happen then the changes
will be incorporated for
the 2003-2004 school year.
It is guesstimated that
instead of paying cash, a
student would simply
login at the Lab and pay
for print-outs with money
taken directly from their
Ram Card.

had to fill-out an applica

interview before a com

the award.

said. "It felt good to make
my family proud."
There were about 600
students at Plymouth
High were she attended
before enrolling at WSSU
this fall.
She said WSSU is a
school that caters to her
college preference.
"I only applied to two
schools, WSSU and
Chapel Hill. I really want
ed to go to an HBCU
though. I am use to the
small class sizes, and I
like the fact that I can get
to know my professors on
a personal level," Jones
said.
"WSSU has a nice, safe,
clean campus."
Currently Jones is jug
gling 15 hours, which
includes honors biology
and honors freshman
composition.
To maintain her grades,
Jones finds she has to read
more as well as taking
good notes. Jones said she
likes reading books by
African-American authors
and listening to R&B
recording artists Joe and
Donell Jones.
Though her career has
just begun at WSSU, Jones
has her goals well
planned.
She said, "I want to pre
pare for medical school
while at Winston-Salem
State and become a pedia
trician."
STORE,
from page 3
Although many students com
plain about the prices being sig
nificantly higher than local gro
cery stores, Everson said the
items in the store were priced by
comparing the prices with local
stores.
"We try to make sure our prices
can either match them or make it
better," he said.
According to employees of the
store, it took a lot of hard work
and dedication to put the store
together and Everson indepen
dently played a huge part in get
ting the store up and running
with one goal in mind - some
thing not only convenient, but
very useful to WSSU students.
Students appear to have forgotten
that not only can you save gas
money from driving or riding to
the nearest grocery store six lights
down the street, but Ram Cards
may also be used to buy items.

There is no tax added to any of
the items, which also makes up
for the cost of the sometimes
high-priced items. Everson says
the "Biggest misunderstanding
for people is the word conve
nience. If the word convenience is
ever understood, then the prices
will be understood as well."

RAMA,
from page 3
Besides poetry, drama, essays and
reviews, Rama also features student art
work by members of the ram communi
ty-
However, this is merely a brief over
view of the final product. Siar hopes to
have it added to WSSU's site in the
spring of 2003.
By this time he also expects to receive
a good number of contributions from a
course in creative writing which is cur
rently under way.
Siar said: "We hope to have some
more artwork on Rama, and it would
also be great to have illustrations of
poems on the sight as well."
Anyone interested in submitting
works to the journal is welcome to
bring submissions to Siar in room 309
of Hall-Patterson building, and it will
be reviewed.
