Our View Mobile app contest will strengthen community As was reported in Thursdays issue of The George- Anne, Georgia Southern University will be organizing an app creation competition that will go on through the semester. It is aimed at bringing the colleges closer together. The contest isn’t just for the technologically inclined colleges. The contestants will be walked through the process, so a high level of programming knowledge is not required. All are invited to compete for the $500 prize. Contestants have until Feb. 22 to submit their app ideas. This contest is a great idea. Its goal, to foster competition and an atmosphere of community between the colleges that make up GSU, is admirable. The fact that the winning team will not be the only one to be able to see their app to completion makes the deal sweeter. Runners-up will still receive help in creating their app. It gives plenty of incentive to win, but not to Lesson to learn from Super Bowl ads the point of prohibiting friendly competition.

The idea of Black History Month stems from the notion that blacks are not represented within the annals of American History. A Black History Week—and subsequently, Black History Month—was recognized by the federal government, as President Gerald Ford regarded, to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” It is a cause for concern for black history to be delegated to a single month out of the year, when black history is so intertwined and woven into the fabric of Republicans see revelation American history.
