Getting up for an early class can be such a hassle, but does it mean we shouldn’t get dressed for class? Absolutely not, though it is common place for students to attend early morning classes in their PJ’s it however, does not make it right. As a senior I’ve had to get up for plenty of early morning classes and though I hated the early morning routine , I always took the extra time to actually get dressed. Attending class in PJ’s often times makes the professor think that you aren’t taking their class seriously, and you really don’t want that. In recent months professors have even turned to kicking students out of their class if they aren’t properly dressed, so if you haven’t already started then you should start now.
If your one of those students that absolutely must be comfortable for class then you should consider a few great alternatives to the average Pajama set. A great pair of sweats can make you feel as comfortable as your Pajama’s , most times you can buy a stylish pair from your school store and show some school pride, though there’s a fine line between PJ’s and sweats you can enjoy comfort without your “house clothes”. Now that fall is approaching one can also invest in a few pairs of leggings, this way you can pair them with a pretty blouse and a stylish pair of riding boots ( which are great for any fall outfit) that’s comfort anyone can enjoy. However, if boots and leggings aren’t really your thing either you can also try to find a great pair of comfortable jeans that fit your lifestyle, though many people find denim restricting and uncomfortable there are a variety of fits for everyones comfort and style preference.Monday, September 19, 2011 at 7:00pm, Howard University Homecoming 2011 will be having its annual “UNVEILING” in Cramton Auditorium.

“Imagine if Jay-Z and Lauryn Hill had a love child, raised him in the church and only let him listen to gospel and the classics of soul. That person’s music would sound like mine. In short, my music is what a beautiful painting sounds like. Just listen, and you’ll know all you need to”
ARTIST BIO Red Baron represents, literally and figuratively. He is an emcee and attorney who has crafted a stirring brand of music that is thought-provoking and relevant, honest and life-changing. He has garnered high compliments from hip-hop legends (EPMD, DJ Scratch), industry tastemakers (Mtv Correspondent Sway) and record executives (VP of A&R at Def Jam, Lenny S), in addition to having won the Session 1 Grand Prize in the Hip-Hop Category for the 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Contest; all of which has quickly made Red Baron one of rap music’s best kept secrets. Born in the bedrock of the blues, reared in the home of R&B, and classically trained in violin, it would seem Red was destined to make music. His music fuses the blues, jazz, soul, R&B and rock, yet still rings true of hip-hop. Red Baron found his voice as a musician while a student at Morehouse College. Shortly after graduating, he released his critically acclaimed debut, Paint the Town Red. He is slated to release his highly anticipated second album, entitled, Shades of Grace on January 18, 2011. Red has performed in various venues: colleges and universities, national conferences, churches, rehab centers, detention centers, bars, clubs, and even a grocery store. He has shared the stage with hip-hop legends, established international artists, garnered national and international radio airplay, has won local and international songwriting competitions and won music industry showcases. His music has been featured on an official mixtape alongside material from some of the more prominent names in hip-hop (e.g. Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne, T.I., Drake, Nikki Minaj, etal). The venues have changed; the response has not. Amid a time where most contemporary artists spin tales of lustful acts, violence, “bling-bling” dreams, etc., Red Baron’s content and potent lyrics set him apart. His music focuses on his faith and fulfilling his role as a husband, father, attorney (yes attorney) and educator. Quite simply, his music is what a beautiful painting sounds like. Just listen, you’ll know all you need to…

In its newly released study, Washington Monthly magazine ranked Jackson State University one of the top 10 institutions of higher learning across the country in terms of social mobility, research and service ratings. Coming in at No. 9 among 258 institutions, Jackson State outranked Princeton (No. 31), Yale (No. 39), the Georgia Institute of Technology (No. 54) and Howard (No. 73) universities. Jackson State is the only Historically Black College or University to break into Washington Monthly’stop 10.
“We’ve made very persistent efforts in recent years to better serve our students – especially those who don’t have the means for college tuition – and to train them for careers in research and community service,” said Mark G. Hardy, JSU provost and vice president for academic affairs. “This ranking reminds us that we are on the right track.”
This year’s ranking is up significantly from last year, when JSU appeared No. 45 on the list.
The research rating measures the rate at which students go on to receive Ph.D.s., the number of doctoral degrees awarded by the university and the amount of federal research dollars garnered. Last year Jackson State raised over $57 million research dollars.
