With over 300 students and faculty in attendance, the University of Memphis made its way into The Guinness Book of World Records for having the largest amount of people doing sit-ups in one place for one minute. Gathered on the Alumni Mall, outside the University Center, participants joined in on a special edition of Midday Moves. As people came through the entrance, they were given a plot number, as in burial plot which told them where to lie. Members of the Alumni Association and the Student Ambassador Board were dressed up in costumes and masks as the theme was "Dying to be Healthy." “One of our coordinators who works with the Student Ambassadors Board said let’s do something cool, let’s get people out, let's break a world record… and now it has turned into a Halloween extravaganza,” said Holly Snyder, the Assistant Director for the university’s Alumni Association.

Many writers benefited from this past weekend’s Bookstock Memphis Area Author’s Festival at the Benjamin L. Hooks Library at 3030 Poplar Ave. The event took place from 10:30 am to 3:30pm. It was a family event with scavenger hunts for kids, a food truck outside as well as book signings and cooking demos inside. There were many different genres of books to choose from including Christian and faith based books, horror suspense novels and domestic abuse memoirs. All of the authors were from Memphis and showcasing their first or second book. “Today has been great," Sherri Scott, a local author promoting her first book, said. "I’ve met some very nice people. I’ve sold some books and I’ve been able to get out my message of abstinence to teens.” By: Dana Porter/MicroMemphis Reporter Just like Charlie needed his golden ticket to get into the chocolate factory, families in need had to have a pink ticket to receive a box of goodies from the Feed The Children truck on April 10.

The donations helped raised funds to sponsor a food truck delivered to the church. Pastor Aaron Litzsey and his supporters gave out 4 hundred tickets to impoverished families on two separate occasions. Here is a video of Pastor Aaron Litzsey and Alex Batts.
