What Does Your Covid Mask Say About You?

Yes, inquiring minds want to know! What does your Covid prevention facemask say about you?

The facemasks we have to wear (again argh!) this semester to our SC State classes, do you put much thought into it? Are you styling some, or are you content with the plain Jane ones? Here's what some Bulldogs have to say on this matter. 

Benjamin Gadson is a junior communications major from Fairfax, S.C. (near Allendale). He's a musical guy and is a member of the prestigious Phi Mu Alpha fraternity, "the world's oldest and largest secret national fraternal society in music," according to its website.  The SC State chapter is called Nu Iota SC State. 

On this day Ben is wearing a Phi Mu Alpha shirt and he says the harp on his facemask is a symbol of his fraternity. Ben is in SC State's band, The Marching 101.  His instrument is the euphonium. I have never heard of that, so asked Ben what it is. "It's a member of the low brass family," he says. "It's sort of like a fat trumpet."
