	Jumpstart Spotlight By Ashley Goncalves March 28, 2013 - 12:00am On any given day of the week, you can see people sporting bright red shirts on campus, and I know you have all wondered at some point who these people are. Well, I am here to solve the mystery of the red shirts. In answering the following questions—who are they, why are they always wearing the same shirt, and do they wash it (this one doesn’t require much explanation; simply put, most of us don’t, and we aren’t afraid to admit it)—I hope to shed some light on this mystery.
