Hampton University at the Top of HBCUs
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- Hampton University has been named among the best in historically black colleges across the nation.
U.S. News and World Report released the first-ever ranking today.
Hampton came in at Number Three behind Spelman College in Atlanta and Howard University in Washington, D.C.
Other Virginia schools that made the list included Virginia State University, which came in at Number 15.
Norfolk State University tied for Number 34 out of 34 rankings issued with three other colleges in West Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama.
There are a little more than a hundred historically black colleges and universities across the nation. Scattered mostly across the South, they were typically formed during segregation to serve black students who white schools turned away.
The magazine uses factors like graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, financial resources and alumni giving to determine where to place colleges.

Class of 86: Plans for Homecoming 2007
Regarding Homecoming 2007, we were hoping to have a teleconference meeting. However, we were not able to secure the technology needed for the meeting.
Thus, this correspondence will serve to inform the class regarding plans for our class for the meeting.
I am asking that you read below and place your comments by each. I will compile the comments and send them to everyone. Please feel free to make suggestion, give input, volunteer to help, and so forth. Your contribution is VERY important.
Please use a different color to comment.
1. We are hoping to conduct a 50/50 raffle Saturday. We will sell tickets for a set amount, and the class will keep half, and the winner will receive half. We need to exchange ideas about how to most effectively use the proceeds from the raffle. (i.e., donate it to the university in the name of the Class of 1986, use it to do a mass mailing to our class, etc.)
2. We will share a booth with Dana Hubbard and have membership forms for classmates to complete. We need members to take shifts staffing the booth.
3. It would be great if we could meet Friday evening over cocktails or dinner so that we could discuss fund-raising efforts for the university and the role that we, as a class, play, especially as it pertains to the year 2011, our 25th reunion.
Thank you for your input.
Please share this page with other classmates and have them return it to nancymcline@yahoo.com

Freebies on the Internet
There are free resources on the internet waiting for you. Everything from tutorial services, to that lost manual for the DVD player you purchased 2 months ago. Many of the resources are not used because people are not aware that they are there. If you have a few minutes to do a search, what you need you may find for free on the internet. However, you have to be careful because some software come with spyware that will phish for your personal information. If you are not sure, do not download it, but you are safe with the more reptuable companies like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft.
Here are a few of my favorites.
Skype
http://www.skype.com
You want to use Skype if you want to communicate via computer with live conversation and a video cam. This is how you stay connected for free with your family serving overseas, with grandchildren, and friends from college who sit at their computers a great deal of the day. It's free to download and free to use with others who have skype. So just send an email and tell them to download skype also. Of course there are upgrades for a cost, but the basic free download is all you really need unless you are doing conference calls with large numbers of people. Once you create your skype account, give me a call at "nancyjohnsoncline" see you there!
Free Games
http://www.mostfun.com/
Safe, simple, downloads of all types of fun games.
Microsoft Office Online

If you have clipart needs but just cannot find what you want in your gallery, Microsoft Online has more, you just have to download it. It's free and you can use it on any of your projects, even your websites.
Wildvoice
http://www.wildvoice.com/
Forget about the tape recorder and follow the rest of us into the 21st Century. On wildvoice you can record using your computer so that you create a digital audio file. You need a mic and speakers so that you can record and hear what you playback. Wildvoice does the rest. It's free and easy to use. You have to create a free account and then you begin recording, AND you can edit. This is great if you want to add some voice-over to your website or if you want to create a podcast.

Email from HU - New Cafeteria
The students are on their much-anticipated Spring break this week, so we are “holding down” the campus on their behalf. Please keep the Pirates basketball team in your thoughts as they are competing in the MEAC this week – and if you haven’t heard, we beat Howard last night! Go Pirates!!!
In an effort to meet Hampton University’s $5 million challenge goal for the New Student Cafeteria, we have created several documents that will be helpful as your class raises money. These documents include:
1. Information sheet – provides general information about the cafeteria.
2. Class Leader/Call for Participation letter – designed to help bring class members together to raise money for the cafeteria
3. Pledge Sheet – If alumni have misplaced the giving envelope, this can be printed out and mailed to Hampton University. It also has link to Hampton’s online giving page. Please email to your entire class. This can also be found on our google group website. There is a link to the right on this page.
4. Cafeteria Campaign Schema – Can be used to encourage participation and for those who want to give $1,000 to buy a pane with other classmates. This can also be accessed on our google group website. There is a link to the right of this page.
5. Volunteer Solicitation letter – Use this letter to gain volunteer participation.
This will be a useful tool for you to round-up volunteers that are willing to make calls to touch every Hamptonian.
An electronic newsletter will follow soon!
Moving forward I will keep you abreast of the University’s cafeteria giving status as I receive it. My job is to provide you with the information and support that you need to raise funds from your class for the New Student Cafeteria. Feel free to contact me anytime with questions and/or suggestions about how to make this process more efficient and more effective.
Thanks again for all you do to support our beautiful Home by the Sea.
