Seventeen Winston-Salem students have put their
leisure-time activities on hold and become ambassadors,
of sorts, for the Urban League.
In conjunction with the Ebony Fashion Fair on
* Nov. 1, the Winston-Salem Urban League is sponsoring
the Ms./Mr. Ebony Fashion Fair 1985 contest
for area students.

Unlike some other contest participants, rewards
for these contestants will involve more than random

Winning will also require a bit of ingenuity.
4'We've told the contestants that the winner will
be determined by the number of tickets they sell to
the fashion show," says Ms. Soloman. 4'But they
are also at liberty to initiate their own programs to
raise money to sponsor themselves in the contest."
Sandra Pennington, a member of the Urban
League, says that the organization also hopes that
contestants will help to spread the word about the
Urban League's involvement with the show.
"We are really emphasizing to them the importance
of getting the community out to the show

want the contestants to be ambassadors for the Urban
League and to get out and promote the show."
Mae Moore, co-chairman with Ms. Soloman,
says that the contestants are getting the opportunity
to participate in workshops and discussions that
will be beneficial to them during their teen years.
"The contestants attend workshops that help
them learn how to go out into the community and
t^lk to people in a public setting," says Mrs.
Moore. "Hopefully, when this is over, they'll be
prepared to go out and speak in public and do
things in the community."
"So many teen-agers are afraid to do anything
publicly without being among their peers," Mrs.
Moore continues. "This will teach them to have
