Not only did they jump, but also punted, passed, and ran during a Powder Puff Football game to raise over $I.(XX) to be given to those in need. Various service clubs and faculty mem bers came together to organize the senior versus junior matchup. 0 Laura Skelton. a first-year Environmental Science teacher, teamed up with some of her students to make the charity event a reality. Eugenia DelBano. Natalie Braswell. and Allison Southard have Skelton for class and were inspired to do some thing to help. In the spirit of one of RJR principal Stan Elrod's notable quotes. " If you are not a part of the solution, you are part of the problem." These girls definitely wanted to be a part of a resolution. Skelton said, "he idea of raising money for the people in Haiti (was) because they've learned about what's going on in Haiti after Hurricane Jane hit. how many people are homeless and unable to meet daily needs like food." The school hasn't had a Powder Puff game in the past four years or so and the girls felt that it would be a solid moneymaker.

Jeff Capel III, lived in Winston Salem. But he still remembers those days as if it were only yes terday he called this city home. "For me. it's always special to come back to North Caroli na."

Well, it was m os 1 1 y A r t e s t , but the Owens other two made some very bad decisions to get involved. OK. we've all seen what happened more times than we'd like to admit, but I can't help but shake my head every time I see it again. I mean. I'm the first one to stick up for athletes when they find themselves getting blasted for being themselves. But I don't understand or agree with what happened in Detroit, after Bert Wallace pushed Artest. That's when Artest, in essence, ran from Wallace and lay on the top of the scorers table. Then a cup filled with some kind of bev erage fell upon Artest. That's when Ronnie simply lost it and charged the stands to get the perpetrator. Now. I would have been upset too. I mean, you just don't throw things at people. But with the money the ath letes are making in today's sports, a fan can do almost Sec Hill on B3 WSSU athletes reach out to help Photo by Anthony Hill WSSU associate athletic director Tonia Walker and Rams reach for canned goods to give to a family in the communi ty on Monday.
