Fritz. "Then wc talk about what

Fritz said the children have
done projects such as making
hand prints and faces or a sun out
of paper plates. They usually
work on projects between 9:15
and 10:30 a.m.
She is teaching them the letters
in their names and hopes to
have them writing their names by
Christmas. In addition, Fritz tries
to teach the children a new word
every day.
Fun comes with learning, said
Fritz. She often takes the children

take some of the children to see

By LISA HILL
Features reporter
A celebrity lives on the USC
campus in the form of a beauty
queen.
Edris Gilbert, a political
science senior, won the 1986
Miss Black South Carolina
Pageant in September.
"For the first few weeks,
especially, people would kind
of look at me," Gilbert said.
"I've gotten mail, too, from
people I don't even know. It
doesn't bother me though. I enjoy
meeting and talking to people.
It's fun. You never know
who you'll run into."
Since winning the title,
Gilbert has been busy juggling
her schedule, in addition to
classes and being Miss Black
South Carolina, she is a
member of Delta Sigma Theta
sorority, Sorority Council,
Homecoming Commission and
Student Alumni Association.
"I used to be a Coquette on
the USC band too, but it's hard
to keep up with all my activities,"
she said. "Especially
the band, it takes up so much
time. I get callcd to do appearances
at the last minute and
1 miss a lot of meetings. It's difficult.
I have to budget my time
wisely."
