A faulty kerosene heater that exploded on Oct. 10 left
Ethel Mae Simpson homeless and with second- and third
cj.egree burns.
But desDite the fact that Simpson is homeless, hurt and
has little money, she said she has alot to be thankful for S
this Thanksgiving.
"God spared me. I got out of the fire," she said. "He
spared me. I thank God every five minutes for giving me
my life. I can get some of them things back, but I can
never get another Ethel Mae.*'
~Simpson was especially happy, to the point of tears, on
Monday afternoon when Patricia Mumford, a follow-up
caseworker for the Experiment In Self-Reliance Inc.,
delivered her the makings, including the turkey, for a
Thanksgiving dinner.
Mumford, who insists that she be called "Pat," and I

Ask Winston-Salem State University Athletic
Director Coach Clarence "Bighouse" Gaines just
how much money alumni donate annually to the
school's athlctic fund, and you might be be surprised.
"I couldn't support two out-of-state students with

alumni giving,'7 uaines says. ** i ne aiumni lainieuc;
giving at Wake Forest is approximately $1.5 million,,
and ours, well, I would be exaggerating to say it's
$9,000 (the amount it takes to support two out-ofstate
students). .
"But this is not unique at State. We (black alumni)
just don't give. We don't even show up at the games.
Homecoming, the A&T and North Carplina Central
games are usually moneymakers, but not the rest of
the schedule," Gaines says. "At the Livingstone
game, we only made $1,200 with tickets costing $6
apiece. It's rough to pay for a program when our
people don't want to give."
Gaines says WSSU sold only 225 season football

tickets at $30 each and 200 combination football and
basketball tickets at $60 each this year. "It will take
us half a year to collect for some of those," Gaines
says.
What about alumni giving for the rest of the
university*?
That's hard to measure, says Marilyn Roseboro,
director of public relations at WSSU who has handled
some of the school's alumni relations since
Winslow Lowery, former alumni director, resigned.
"In development, it is difficult to say just how
much the alumni give," Roseboro says, "because
sometimes the gifts are not credited to the development
office. They give to athletics and to different
departments and that makes it difficult to give them
credit for what they give."
It's also difficult to determine how much the alumni
give at WSSU because, until September, the alumni
office at WSSU was not a part of the school. The

"It's subpar," says Frank Godfrey, who became ;
alumni director at Saint Augustine's College in
Raleigh six months ago. "It has been increasing but it
needs improvement. I know that we have morfc alumni
who can give, but who don't."
Godfrey says that Saint Augustine's, a coeducational,
liberal arts, church-related school, has an
estimated 8,000 alumni, and alumni giving last year
totaled $87,000.
Dr. Simpson Buie, director of alumni affairs at
North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro,
says alumni giving at A&T is also increasing.
44We can't complain," Buie says. "Black alumni ?
in the past five or six years - are getting into the
kinds of jobs where they can give. We used to have

Brown says he is trying to educate black alumni on
the many ways they can contribute. "We are talking
to people about leaving something for Shaw in their

Shaw the beneficiary,'* he says. "These are areas
that historically black colleges and black alumni are
not familiar with."
