A buzzing introduction

Welcome back to school, Rams! With the new school year come worries about financial aid, purged schedules and campus housing. Luckily, I'm here to keep you in touch with everything happening at Winston-Salem State. Throughout the year, my column "The Fly on the Wall" will address the most pressing rumors and issues concerning students. Before we get started, here's a little background information.

I am a senior, mass communications major from Charlotte. This year I will serve as Entertaining Diversions Editor for

 The News Argus. I love to shop, cook and hang out with friends; but most of all I love to write.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm sure many of you are experiencing school-related concerns. You may be asking yourself, "Am I validated yet?" "Will I graduate on time?" and "Why are parking passes so expensive?" among other things.

On the other hand, you may be celebrating that you've finally gotten a room to yourself after three years of terrible roommates.

Either way, you will want to be prepared for the new rules coming into play this year. Did you know students can now be ticketed for jaywalking? Have you heard about the University's new safety campaign? Are you a freshman living in temporary housing until your dorm is complete? If you want to stay on top of everything happening on campus, keep your eye out for my column in future editions of The News Argus.

Don't be afraid to browse the paper. There are plenty of articles to keep you occupied while waiting in that lengthy Ram Shack line.

And if you really have some time on your hands, write a letter to the editor. We love to get feedback! You can send questions, concerns or suggestions to thenewsargus@yahoo.com or comment on the website thenewsargus.com.
