WSSU students honored at annual awards banquet
ARGUS STAFF REPORT
Educating leaders for the pre
sent and future were the
themes of the 2003 Annual
Student Awards Banquet.
Students from across
Winston-Salem State University
were honored last month for
their outstanding performance
over the past year.
The banquet in the A.H.
Anderson Center McNeil
Banquet Hall drew a large
audience of students who have
made an impact on the univer
sity over the past year.
Miss WSSU Rolanda Patrick
received student volunteer of
the year. Allieu Kamara
received outstanding cadet of
the year.
The News Argus' Editor-in-
Chief Keith Caesar received
student of the year.
Sixty-five students received
awards for being Who's Who
Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges.
About 155 students received
awards for outstanding leader
ship with 28 students taking
home awards for outstanding
community service.
The keynote speaker for the
evening was the Honorable
Roland B. Hayes.
In his address to the students,
he listed five vital components
every student leader needs.
Hayes is a graduate of WSSU
and has served as a District
Court Judge for 18 years, which
ended in 2002.
He is currently commissioned
as an emergency District Court
Judge for North Carolina.
In his address to student
leaders, he said they should
ask themselves whether they
have the five components
needed to be a student leader.
He said students leaders need
to have a positive attitude,
vision, set goals for themselves,
desire and self-confidence.
"The world makes way for
people who know where they
are going. Take charge of
future," Hayes said.
"Desire is where achievement
begins. Desire gives birth to
great accomplishments."
He added that people with
self-confidence overcome ideas
that limit themselves
"They believe in themselves,"
said Hayes.
"Leaders go where there is
not path and leave a trail."
At the heart of the message,
Hayes addressed what is essen
tial for a leader of today who
will be successful tomorrow.
"Do what you are committed
to do," said Hayes. "Depart to
serve.
"Your best days are still
ahead of you. The world is
waiting for you. Dreams don't
work unless you do. Turn
dreams into reality," he said.
McGee catches
contest’s top
prize with ease
By Keith Caesar
ARGUS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
With fishing as an extended metaphor for a lost
relationship. Winston-Salem State University's
Jeremy McGee walked home with the top prize in
the North Carolina State University poetry con
test.
A win that he said freaked him out.
McGee is a junior English major with a minor in
art.
He said he has won poetry contests before. His
first was in 1998 while at the University of
Tampa. In 1999 he placed second in another poet
ry contest.
McGee said the poem entitled "Catch and
Release" was written for the creative writing class
led by Dr. Stormy Stipe.
Upon learning that he had won the competition,
McGee was invited to N.C. State where he partici
pated in a reception with about 100 people, many
of whom were competitors.
"The poem will be published in the News and
Observer in Raleigh," said McGee. "It's an extend
ed metaphor. We were told to write about some
thing deep in our past."
The poem itself was judge by poet Eleanor
Wilner.
He said that at the reception for the event he
felt a bit weird because he was standing with
some experienced poets. But the fact the he had
been chosen still made him smile.
He added that the main metaphor centers on
fishing and how sometimes you catch the fish
and then let it go. He paralleled that with a rela
tionship that he had been through.
"It has a lot of extended metaphors."

ARGUS REPORTER
If you have seen some differ
ent faces on campus, one of
those faces belongs to one of
the Study Abroad Program stu
dents here at Winston-Salem
State University.
Natalia Sohorr Corralho
Lemme is a rising senior from
the Universidade Estadual
DeLondrina, translated in
English it is called the
University of Londoner.
She is majoring in business
administration.
Although she attends school
there, she is from the city of San
Paulo, which is six hours away
from the university. When she
learned about the Study Abroad
Program, where students can
continue their education at
another university in a different
country, she was interested
immediately.
"I have always wanted to go
abroad in order to learn a new
culture, new language, and to
make new friends. Then I got a
scholarship to come here — I
didn't think twice," she said.
In her spare time, Lemme
loves to listen to music, espe
cially Brazilian popular and
"bosso novo" music.
She also loves to be with her
friends.
"I love the people here. They
are very nice, and I've made
some great friends," said
Lemme.
Although she loves to hang
out with her friends, she always
remembers the reason she is
here.
"I study a lot. In fact 1 study
most of the time. Grades are
important," said Lemme.
She is supposed to return to
Brazil this month, but if some
internship offers turn out in her
favor, she will be here in the
United States a little bit longer.
"I love it here! The language. I
love English," Lemme said
while laughing.
When she first came to

ready to go because
I love my country,
but it is wonderful
here. There are so
many opportuni
ties. Much more,
than in Brazil.”
