AL 2 Opening Ever since it opened its doors to its first five students in 1867, people have voiced their opinions on this university. It has been called everything from “The Mecca of Negro Education” to the “THE Party Place.” Its students, faculty and staff have been accused of being bourgeois on one ex- treme to radical on the other. And with one hundred and nineteen years of history behind us, we can satisfy all opinions by stating that all of these assertions are true.

Who would have believed that the Howard Theological Society would grow into a truly comprehensive predominantly black institution with seventeen fully accredited schools and colleges. offering seventy undergraduate and graduate degrees in two hundred areas of concentration? Who would have thought that the five students in 1867 would be predecessor of approximate 12,000 students from over ninty countries? Who would have imagined that the campus would expand from one single building to four campuses including a 89-acre main campus, a 22-acre West campus, a 108-acre faculty in Beltsville, Maryland and a Divinity campus in Northeastern Washington? Who would have for sceen that school’s facilities would include a 160 room hotel, a five million watt television, two radio stations and a 1.6 million volumn library system? Yes, all this is true. The diversity of its people, expansiveness of its facilities and its cosmopolitian personality bear out the fact that this is truly a multifaceted institution and that “Everything They Say Is True.” ROYAL WAVES Pj r� ni rvnMrvu? imI Mim gnvifO J� nn llonnooaH Opening 5 jJL Student Allhough we were said lo be fun lovers and socializes, ihe activities and events which we implemented or attended over the year showed that we were also conscious of and in the forefront of affairs beyond Maingate.

Alin Student I itc mend was a way to break the monotony of a long day of classes Student Life 7 IL College years are growing years, and as such, they should not be classified by such mundane terms as freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. Rather, more accurate terms for progressive classification are; infant, toddler, adolescent and adult respectively. Infant stage (freshman year): Students arrive on campus in early August, ladies in the Quad and gentlemen in Drew Hall. These students are wide-eyed, happy and carefree. Like infants, they are in new surroundings, and arc not wholly aware of everything going on around them. They have no choice but to put their trust in their elders, i.e.: Campus Pals. Resident Assistants, and upperclassmen. Categorically, these persons take classes lightly, preferring to sleep late rather than stagger to an 8:10 class. The most likely cause of this tired infant syndrome is the late night philandering in the infant playpen (the wall in front of the Quad). By the end of the year, these students generally develop infantitus. which is defined as the eagerness to progress to the toddler stage. Toddler stage (sophomore year); T his year is generally a better year for the student than the first year A renewed confidence in self is discovered Like a toddler, these students seem to ask an infinite number of questions about themselves, other people and life in general. This stage involves discovering who one is through interaction with others. Thus, toward the end of the toddler stage, these students tend to seek out and join organizations on campus, and social cliques begin to form.

It is known (or rather believed) what one wishes to accomplish in life, even though the exact route to take on this goal may not be evident. These persons have formulated the answers to the infinite questions they asked in the toddler stage. These persons may. however, reminisce and miss the carefree and sometimes whimsical lives they led as infants and toddlers. The occasional brutal realization that they are maturing hits them as classes become harder A serious commitment to their education and their major is developed. Toward the end of this year, students arc elated and sad; they are about to begin their last year of college. Adult stage (senior year): It is hard for these students to believe that they have been here for lour or more years, and that this experience is about to come to an end. Plans for the course of their lives arc finalized. They find themselves working feverishly to deal with the university's bureaucracy i.e.: clearing all bills, coughing up the graduation fee. and reluming lost library books from the infant stage. The eminent graduation (wishful thinking for some) is often enough to motivate those poor souls who arc ladencd with 21 credit hours their last semester. Whether the adult stage is stress-filled or a breeze” with few required classes, these adults usually graduate in May, in accordance with the life cycle. making room for the new infants faithfully born in August Mignon Mclcmorc RiearOo A AnJtruxi SENIORITIS.

In the 1920’s, with the advent of the Charleston, drop-waist dresses were the rage. Now, the same dresses are in style again, but this time free-style dancing is more vogue Other styles of tnc 20’s arc revitalized today, and can be seen often in the narrow skirts with pleats and flounces. The long-knotted pearl strands accessorise this look as they did 60 years ago. The boyish bob and crimped hairstyles are throwbacks to the carefree days of the 20's as well. Women of the 1930’s set the pace with the long and lean look. The return of this style can be seen today in slim, tight-fitting cotton and polyester skirts that fall below the calves. The 1940’$ military' look of padded shoulders pervades I980's women's fashions. This is evident in the jackets, blazers, shirts and sweaters that students wear. The floral prints, also popular during this decade, decorate the campus, appearing on everything from dresses to jeans. Pedal pushers, loose and slightly . baggy trousers, flats, loafers and varsity sw-eaters and jackets, all reminiscent of the 50’s era. are back in style for women as well as men. The body-skimming leggings, stirrup pants, mini’s and turtlenecks worn by fashionable women on campus, are offspring of the 60’s decade. Skin-tight outfits in burnt orange mustard and lime green teamed with bodacious jewelry are just as common now as they were two decades ago. In essence, fashion-minded students should consider the history of apparel before donating clothes or throwing them away. Although it is highly unlikely that some fashions will be rejuvenated, one can reasonably assume that many of the current fashions w ill be reincarnated in some form. Amazing as it may seem, your children may be wearing bell-bottoms and go-go boots in the year 2000 and be very much in fashion. After all. w ho would have imagined that baroque, tapestry outfits, and paisley print would be the vogue in 1985?

Du-point Circle; the Waterfront... Washington, D.C., a city whose size belies its power, is a veritable charismatic entity which attracts thousands of people each year — much like a large magnet draws tiny steel chips. Many of these steel chips arc college students who flock to one of the city's eight colleges and universities. These students, who unwittingly register for common curricula such as Black politics and journalism, can be seen traveling to Capitol Hill to complete homework assignments. Political science professors require trips to the Library of Congress for their students who arc researching legal ease briefs, and some have their students attend workshops at the Congressional Black Caucus. Imaginative Journalism instructors may assign an article to their students which requires them to go to a demonstration on the Mall. Business students, who have grown fond of D.C.. may petition for employment with one of the multitude of nationwide companies that have headquarters or regional offices in the Distnet. The D.C. corporate world is dy namic and powerful. Careers in computer programming. airlines, publications, and many more career fields arc available in Washington.

From the Mayor Marion Barry, to the custodial engineers, the city is governed by Blacks. A large percentage of the students — and residents alike — in the District have come here from across the nation and around the world. Natives of California. Kenya, Israel, and many other places come to Washington to settle. (This is the only assumption one can make after sampling some of the diversified ethnic cuisine). Restaurants serving Ethiopian. Jamaican. Irish, French and even American Food can be spotted throughout Washington. These palatable foods and many others, can be sampled at either Adams Morgan Day or Georgia Avenue Day; both of these annual events occur in early September. Music, dancing, comedy and fun are all in abundance at these community festivities. When the sun goes down and the street lights dissolve the darkness. Washington. D.C. is far from dull. From the jazz at Blues Alley to the upbeat dance music of R.S.V.P., the city offers a wide variety of places to go... Washington. D.C. — truly a Capitol City.

Is having a car as a student a necessity or a problem? Asking the student, who owns one for an answer only prolongs the debate. Because the university is located in a large metropolitan area, many students believe that, a car is a necessity. Although the Metrobus runs regularly w ithin the District of Columbia, serv ice is severely limited to the student who wishes to venture into suburban Maryland or Virginia via Metrobus. Even though Metrorail runs trains regularly to the suburbs, often during non-rush hours no buses are available to take the commuter from the station to destination in the suburbs. There are also social considerations to having a car. Some female students object to taking Metro on a date, and some male students balk at the high taxicab rates. Also, students who must stay on campus late at night, feel that taking the metro or walking could be dangerous. A car seems to be the solution to both the social and security questions. Car ownership has its disadvantages as well as its advantages. Parking is the major problem for students with cars. Meters line 4th and 6th Streets, but availability is on a first come, first served basis. Marlene Mohammed, a senior Zoology major and car owner said. I stay in Meridian, and when I go to work at midnight I have to walk twfo or three blocks to my carton the street). 1 try to park in the parking lot at night sometimes and in the morning there is a ticket on my car . Gcnny Hooper, a car owner from New’ York, stated. If you park in the neighborhood around campus you had better move your car every 2 hours or you will get a ticket . And so. the debate continues.

Thumping music and vocal hysteria were accompanied by waving hands and wriggling bodies — this was dance in its raw form. Dancing was a way to relax and have fun for students like senior Cecelia Fields. “I go to parties to release my inhibitions and to become pan of my ever-going, ever-flowing, natural rhythm of the world. I dance because it is an expression of self and releases all those things I took in stride during the week.” she explained. Deanna Lynn Roberson, a senior from New York, liked to dance because you rid yourself of stress and exercise to your favorite song. Other forms of dance were learned through instruction. The university’s dance department, headed by Dr. Sherill Barryman-MilIcr, offered instruction in several areas. Ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance were students’ favorites in terms of enrollment.” said Miller. The department often invited artists such as Garth Fagan, a specialist in C anbbean dance and Jawole Zollar, a specialist in African and martial arts forms of dance, to perform and demonstrate their techniques. Student attendance is invaluable ... (it) is great. said Miller. Dancers were often seen displaying their talents on the steps of the Fine Arts building. Although the reasons students danced were manifold, enjoyment was the most common objective. Said Samantha Williams, a nineteen year old sophomore. I like to dance, but there arc other reasons why 1 go to parties. I go to have a good time, release tension and catch the men.

The Department of Drama was one aspect of the College that served as a training ground for students to develop their theatrical talents and to learn how to compete in the artistic world. Aside from providing classroom instruction, the Department produced dramas, musicals, and comedies. These productions allowed the students to acquire practical experience in acting, producing. directing and choreography. (Artists in the community were also given the opportunity to practice their crafts during these shows). One of the department’s stage productions was A Winter’s Talc , the classical Shakc-sperean fantasy which starred senior Patrick Cable. The production was held in the Ira Algridgc Theatre during the month of November. Another outlet through which students could pursue their theatrical interests was dramatic organizations. The Howard Players, which evolved in 1917. was a group of twenty-one actors who held showcases every other Friday. The organization was open to students of any major who seeked to develop their dramatic skills. Divine Intelligent Versatile Artists (DIVA), and Artists of Dionysus (AOD) were other clubs for women and men, respectively, who strove for excellence in the arts. The department’s impressive reputation was one reason that opportunities abounded for drama students like junior, Rosalyn Coleman. I got a scholarship to the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco for the summer without even auditioning, because of the school s reputation.” the drama major stated. When considering such alumni as Debbie Allen, Phylicia Aycrs-Allcn, and Roxie Roker, it was evident that this campus was a great place to launch a career in theatre.

Student Life 2 I Ah When a Quid is Bora Christmas in the Caribbean Unlike the popular song, not everyone dreamed of a White Christmas. The holidays were filled with sunshine, high temperatures, and sandy beaches for some students. This was the mood of When A Child Is Born. the annual Christmas program produced by the Caribbean Students' Association (CSA). Co-written by CSA members Suzie Peterson and Patrice Gouveia, the musical told the story of Adam, played b John Solomon, a recent graduate of this university who returned to his native home in the Caribbean. llis wife. Ticrra. played by Marian Prcscod. was pregnant and very upset with Adam's newfound irresponsible altitude towards their upcoming baby. Ma, played by Suzic Peterson, was also concerned about her son’s worldly attitude and about the stability of his marriage. As the story unfolded. Adam and Ticrra resolved their differences and were delighted with the birth of their child. Produced, written, directed, and performed by CSA members, the show was a combination of dramatic, musical and dance skills The tropical atmosphere of the set design and Caribbean refreshments served to the overwhelmed crowd helped to transform the Blackburn Center Ballroom into a tropical village on that chilly December evening.

September 6. 1985. Avid game players tried their luck with casino games such as craps, roulette, blackjack, and big six. According to Roberta McLeod. Director of the Blackburn Center, the event served as fundraiser for the university center. It also provided entertainment that is not usually available in this community. Since it has become such a popular event. Kasino Nile's many activities were able to draw a sizable crowd although it was not held as a pan of the Homecoming festivities. An enthusiastic audience eagerly cooperated in the Adventure of Hypnosis with Dr. Charles Faulkner, a hypnotist who has developed quite a following on campus in previous performances. Another unusual act was the comedy-vcntriloquist team of Still and Max. On a more serious note, the movie A Soldier's Story was shown in the auditorium to capacity crowds.

Joseph Saunders played jazz selections for those who attended the dinner buffet in the restaurant and these who visited the bar.

A local disc jockey kept the crowd in the Punchout on its feet and the Mighty Poppalots. performed comedy and dance routines. Astrological readings offered a look into the future for those who believed in the power of the occult. Approximately twenty-five students served as volunteer dealers and Mr. Terry Samuels, the Blackburn Center’s Programs Director, was responsible for coordinating the event. The program was culminated with the awarding of trips to New Orleans and Atlantic City and other prizes for successful gamblers.

Grammy-award winner Marsalis engulfed the auditorium in October with his versatile jazz and classical music abilities. Marsalis advised students interested in musical careers to “practice and listen to a lot of (different) music: don’t try to make it. learn to play it.

The Mecca Fair transpired on September 21st and the seeds for cooperation between the schools and colleges were planted. The farmer who planted and implemented this idea was Sherry Cox. Social Activities Director for HUSA. The purpose of the Fair (was) to promote education, unification and communication. Cox related. The education aspect was targeted at high school students for recruitment purposes. Each school’s presentation of its talents served a dual purpose: to show prospective students what the university has to offer and to allow each school to visualize what the others were doing.

As well as informational displays, several schools demonstrated their various assets. The first performance was a demonstration of physical stamina — a professor and students from the Department of Physical Education did an aerobic routine. Said Anita Berger, wiping perspiration from her forehead. We were trying to promote the physical education club which includes slimnastics for students, facul- Nr ty and the community. The Tae Kwon Doe team demonstrated their sport showing basic moves and performing one-on-one exercises.

We erected it this morning. related Student Council President. Ronald Ma-jette. Upon first glance, the structure looked merely like a wooden dome, a second look showed three models. The largest model was an office, retail and residential complex. The structure also contained a model church and a miniature office complex. The Mecca Fair, which was an implementation of a campaign promise from the HUSA administration, provided the schools and colleges with a marketplace to display their talents — talents which support the belief that students of this university are truly gifted.

Specializing in everything from apples to sweat shirts to perfumes, the vendors who lined the streets around campus provided a multitude of services to students and staff customers agreed that the vendors represented mini convenience stores and that their specialties were ideal for relief between classes. Jasper Hill, who has been vending since 1 70. was the first person to setup shop on campus. Carol Snipe, a student in the School of Nursing, said that Hill's table, which consisted of leather goods, sunglasses and stockings, always had something she needed. “When I needed a pair of stockings. I can just run across campus and get them stated Snipe. Right next to Hill's stand was truck vendor Michael Flood, whose truck was known for hot coffee and quick snacks. This truck provides a quick snack for me when I come from the gym.” said journalism student Timothy Harmon. Those looking for nutrition on the run. frequented the Body Ecology truck. This vendor specialized in a variety of health foods including fresh fruit, nuts and sandw iches. The student worker at the truck (who wished to remain anonymous) said that Body Ecology not only tried to provide nutritious snacks, but it also provided students with health information. Public relations student Bernadette Preston stated I enjoy the service and the people I meet, and 1 like the way they perpetuate an African appearance. Undoubtedly, the biggest last-food business on campus was hot dog sales: there were approximately six hot dog vendors disseminated around campus. Why did hot dogs sell so well? According to business student Melanie Walker, hot dogs were quick and easy to eat and the price was right. “For only one dollar. I can get a quick meal on the go. she said. Ellcssc. Fila and Ralph Lauren Polo Club are only a few of the brand name t-shirts sold by vendor Dewain Hainsworth. For five years. Hainsworth had been selling sweat suits. T-shirts because they seemed to be of good quality and they had beeomc a new fad.” Most vendors agreed that sole proprietorship. good location and the opportunity to serve and meet the community. were advantages to the business. However, some disadvantages did exist. The major problems: parking tickets and harrasment from metropolitan police. One vendor claims to have gotten tickets amounting to fifty dollars every day for illegal parking. By law. Metro police eould also ticket any vendor who did not wear his vending badge. Mohammed L. Sesay. an ice cream vendor, said that police were always hasseling him for something However, he was not discouraged. An alumnus. Sesay enjoyed the friendships he made on campus and tried to build up a trust with the students. “When customers stop by to buy something, they may not have enough money, so I say o.k. and let them pay me tomorrow.” said Sesay. “Treating people nicely and being honest with them.” he continued, “is a good policy in this business. Students, faculty and staff workers agreed that campus vendors were much needed and appreciated their convenience. There was always time to travel to a nearby store for a quick snack during ihe day. However, a vendor located across campus usually provided just what was needed. Miriam Arvingcr Ricardo A Anderson IXXi DAYS. Hotdog were a popular lunch on INEXPENSIVE TREATS.

Pilfer pallor. On my window calling. I can hear ihc liny raindrops, falling ... falling ... falling ... For some, the familiar sound of raindrops sinking windows signaled a day off from classes. But. most students did not roll over and pull the covers over their heads. They braved the rain, skillfully wrestling with wind-swept umbrellas while carefully dodging worms and small lakes that were newly formed by the falling rain. Junior Desmond Taylor, reasoned that rainy days were the best days to go to class because “there is nothing else better to do.” On the other hand, sophomore Jhertaunc Huntley would have rather stayed in bed drinking hot chocolate, doing homework, and listening to Luther Vandross albums. However, she always resisted such urges out of respect for her parents, who were paying her tuition. 1 don't skip class because of a little bit of water is dribbling on my head. she stated. When it rained, the atmosphere of the campus was not the same as on a sunny day. Moods changed. The pace slowed down. Students just were not “as pressed. The normally active yard became bleak and sparsely populated. Students hurried across campus neglecting to hold the usual between class banter to find out the latest gossip or happening. Fashions also changed. Hats, raincoats, and duck shoes became the popular rain attire, with the umbrella as a much-needed accessory. Less emphasis was placed on dressing to impress and more on comfort. Sweat suits, faded jeans, and t-shirts were familiar sights on such days. The end of the day was marked by crowded shuttle buses, damp bookbags. and limp hairstyles as students headed home thinking about the evening's events.

Eyes scanned the room. Minds wandered aimlessly. Pens doodled. Each person was in his own world, waiting for that stroke of the clock to put him out of his misery . Everyone has encountered the seemingly endless boredom that accompanied an uninteresting lecture or a long lab. Students were challenged w ith making these classes (often graduation requirements) tolerable. When the need to endure a boring class arose, students found ways toentenain themselves. One way to avoid the “sleep monster in class was to catch enough zs at night. This remedy was most effective and made one less likely to sleep during class, thereby avoiding much embarrassment. (It was not unusual to witness an unsympathetic professor asking questions of students who were in slumber land). Walkman stereos provided another avenue for curtailing the disease. A favorite tape or radio station helped time to pass quickly. However, the danger again existed that an inquisitive professor could ask a question of the student deafened by a Walkman. Other soothing agents included: doing other, more interesting homework assignments or reading a novel or magazine, both of which required clever disguising. Whispering messages to a friend silting nearby was another alternative. However, this attempt to beat the boredom bug warranted a concentration on being inconspicuous and discreet. Boredom in a classroom was an unwclcomcd evil, but it was one that could be curtailed, and. hopefully, conquered. With a little ingenuity, the problem could be solved because as long as the disease of boredom ran rampant, there was plenty of medicine available to cure it. Mignon Mclemore SHUT EYF.

PREPARATION Taking a few minutes to mentally prepare for a class made time between classes go faster. K. A vJervon 36 Student Life One of the unique aspects of the transition from high school to college is that one may schedule one’s classes with as many breaks as one chooses. Students traditionally use these breaks to catch up on missed hours of sleep or to study, but at this university, seasonal trends have an influence on what students choose to do between classes. At the beginning of the school year when the weather is warm and shorts arc the basic attire, male students, like junior Douglas Dickerson, feel that the best thing to do between classes is to just sit out on the yard and admire the women.” Needless to say. the female students also admire the men. At this point in the school year, class assignments are not very rigorous, so students chose not to study between classes. As Autumn sets in. the weather and midterm season rolls around, students retreat indoors during their breaks. The library, empty but a few weeks before, is now full of students studying individually and in groups. For those who still cannot seem to studs between classes, a comfortable chair in a dorm room in front of a t.v. is more ap- propriate. Even those who do not live on campus rarely miss the daytime soap operas. As Michelle Carter, a freshman from the Bronx points out. I go to the School of Business student lounge on the 5th floor to watch ’All My Children’. she explains. With the onset of winter, last minute cramming for final exams takes the place of television watching and chilling on the yard. Those who have been studying all semester and who have no need to cram, keep winter’s chill out by listening to music in the Punch-Out. As the springtime approaches and the weather warms, the yard becomes crowded with students coming out of hibernation. Second semester’s pleasant weather seems to have a way of making even the most studious person choose the yard over the library . In spite of all the other attractions, which vye for the students’ time during their breaks, the library' remains the most popular spot. Dawn Goodman, a junior majoring in Print Journalism, explains why. “Sometimes I’ll go to the stacks in the library just to have some time away from everybody else ... it’s quiet there.” So when scheduling classes, keep in mind that the seasons play a role in what one can do during the school day.

Playing games served as a relaxing, as well as physically or mentally stimulating pastime. Video games, once thought to be a passing fad, were still popular with students on campus. Ms. Pac-Man. Video Football. Millipede, and Asteroid were commonly played in the Blackburn Center game room. These games required intense concentration, quick reflexes, and lots of quarters. Some advanced players played for hours on one coin. “I’ve gotten so good at Tempest that I can go for at least an hour on one quarter. But before, I used to spend four or five dollars a day just on Tempest.” commented Kevin Harris, a liberal Arts sophomore. Ping-Pong. pool, and bowling were also popular in the game room. These games demanded skill, coordination, and often a bit of luck. Ping-Pong tables were almost constantly occupied as were pool tables. School-wide tournament winners participated in competitions in such cities as Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Bowling provided for a more physical means of releasing energy. The lanes were usually filled each evening, particularly on weekends, since bowling centers in the D.C. area were scarce. Chess, backgammon, and cards were also popular pastimes. Known as the thinking person's game,” chess matches were often intense and lengthy. It’s very competitive and sometimes drains me mentally, but I enjoy chess a lot.” related Sheila Douglas, a junior who played the game on weekends. Backgammon and acey-deucey were also challenging table sports. Although not as lengthy as chess, backgammon games involved strategy and skill. Card games have become just as competitive on campus as chess and backgammon, but could include more players. Anywhere from one to ten people could participate in one card game. Four-handed spades, bid whist, and Uno, were the most popular of these games. Said Jackie Mimms. a fourth-year architecture student, When I lived in the Quad, all we ever did when we got bored was play cards. I'm a champ at Uno! Some people preferred to play outdoor games in their spare time Favorable weather would produce frisbec matches, touch football games, and soccer matches on the yard. Concrete sidewalks and other obstacles provided an element of danger to the games although the participants did not seem to mind. There’s nothing like a game of touch (football) on a Friday to relieve my mind of (school) pressures and prepare me for the weekend.” commented Steve Wilson, a chemistry major. Whether it was indoor or outdoor activities. game playing abounded on campus. Games could be challenging, relaxing, or just plain fun. They offered a welcomed change of pace from the usual agenda of classes and studying because “all work and no play could make Jack a dull boy.” Patricia Jones •Hun iimrt THE INTERNATIONAL SPORT.

Student Life 39 A i Jusi as our clothing and hairstyles reflected our personalities, so did the types of music wc listened to. The sounds heard around campus ranged from the most sophisticated ja z to urban rap music to easy listening rock to danceablc funk. Indeed, it often seemed that no matter what we were doing, music was the blood that supplied our activities with life. Wc cheered louder at a football or basketball game when the band was really •'pumping.” We did not enjoy playing video games in the gameroom unless we were feeding quarters into the juke box. Hanging out on the yard was much more fashionable when music was in the air. “Music is to the student like a storm is to the sky — sometimes thundering and sometimes 'quiet'.” said Mia J. Davillier, a junior in the School of Business. Though some of us preferred to experience this thunder on Friday and Saturday nights at parties, others of us identified more closely with the “quiet storm in everyday life. According to Stanley Verrett. a sophomore majoring in broadcast journalism from New Orleans, since he has been in college he has grown to “really appreciate modern jazz ... Howard is so pseudo-sophisticated that it sparks an interest in the good life, the 'haute couture. Another reason that wc were so fond of music was that it often told the stories of our relationships with others. Whitney Houston. Freddie Jackson and Luther Vandross have probably vocalized the details of our personal relationships more than we cared to admit. Music also affected our personal habits, to an extent. Some found it difficult to study or do homework without their favorite album in the turntable. Exercising and doing housework almost became enjoyable when accompanied by music to set the pace. If you do not think music has a profound effect on your life as a student, the next time you’re sitting in an II: 10 class anticipating your 12:00 break, observe what effect the sound of the Alma Mater” from Founders’ bell tower has on you!

Thousands of blacks in that country' were forced to live below the poverty level and were denied basic civil rights. Numerous lives have been lost in the struggle for freedom, more than 750 since September 1984. according to a Washington Post article. The inequities of the Apartheid colonial system, the banning of that country’s main black force, the African National Congress, and the designation of thirty-eight cities and towns as emergency areas were factors which prompted students to take action. HUSA and UGSA were catalysis of the series of events which comprised the Free South Africa Movement on campus. Among the protests on campus was a boycott of all Coca-Cola products, in which students were warned of that company’s investments in South Africa. Coke ain’t it” flyers were posted on the Coke machines on campus in an attempt to stimulate awareness. Through a boycott we would be making a massive and organized step to show our support for A anians (Black South Africans) and their freedom struggle. explained HUSA’s Community Enrich- ment Director. Yvonne Brooks. Because many students continued to drink the company’s producst, HUSA manned a table with information on the issue on November 12. A Memorial Service held in Rankin Chapel on October 22 honored those w ho had died for the liberation of South Africa. Nomvuyo Qubeka. national organizer of the South Africa Students Committee. Revcrand Austin of Shiloh Baptist Church, and Emory' Calhoun and Bryant Moore of HUSA were among the speakers.

President Reagan's Special Aide on Legislative Affairs. McClure explained that his duties included lobbying the Senate and impressing the President’s Views on South Africa to Senate members. A heated discussion ensued when he introduced Reagan’s opinion tha American disinvestment was not beneficial to blacks in that country. Other events in conjunction with the movement included a rally on the yard and protests at the South African embassy. The rally, held at noon on October 25, featured Francois Crcmiucx of S.O.S. Racism. Paul Mokabe of the South African Students’ Association. Todd Shaw, Emory Calhoun, and Steve X. Jackson , HUSA members and past HUSA President, Chris Cathcart. On several occasions, students protested and were arrested at the embassy. Howard students have done a good job. but they could do more. commented Randall Robinson, executive director of TransAfrica. Todd Shaw, Research Director of HUSA. stated that the movement’s objective was to “spark the consciousness of students and to help them to sec their connection to South Africans. In this respect, he believed their undertaking has been successful, but that student support should have been much stronger. “We laid a foundation that has to be continued by every HUSA administration until South Africa is free .

No matter what brand names they went by, personal computers (pcs) were rapidly becoming a mainstay for organizations and students on campus. Junior Forrest Wade had an IBM pc portable in his dorm room. He reasoned that since he had realized the benefits o! having a computer, he could not see himself without one. “I hauled mine all the way to Arizona State last summer,” he said. It was worth the S50 shipping cost.” he stated. Owners of pcs generally agreed that the computers' advantages outweighed their high prices. Competition among manufacturers caused a drop in cost prompting many people to seriously consider investing in one. Accounting instructor. Dr. Barron Harvey, who owned IBM computers and used them for personal and business endeavors, warned against buying computers on impulse. People should first ask themselves what they are going to use it for.” he advised. and how much money they have. The benefits of a pc depend on how you use it. If you don't have a real need, you arc missing the boat. Harvey added that a student who bought a S 3.000 computer probably would not have the opportunity to use it to its full potential. But Wade, whose pc sold for $3,600, knew that his portable pc could accomplish tasks far beyond what he needed. Nevertheless, he planned to use the additional features in the future. Junior Ricardo Anderson, who has a pc made by Atari, made sure that he bought a computer that would accommodate his needs. IBM sets the stand ard. but my Atari gives me features like color, good graphics, and the ability to hook the computer to my tv. that the IBM pc could not give me for the same money. he said. Anderson's complete Atari package, which included a keyboard, printer, data cassette recorder, and a word processing program cost $400. Students often used their pcs to make money b running other students' accounting problems. Fortran programs and by doing word processing (Users also used their pcs to do their own homework). With uses of the pc infiltrating economic, educational and social circles, its contributions to university life seemed endless. Krystal Quinn PC LAB.

These were the terms that came to mind when one thought of military training. At this university the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTO began in the Spring of 1918 when a national army training detachment was organized to serve as a center for training Black men for leadership. Between 1922. when the program graduated its first officers, and 1942. four hundred and fifty students received army commissions. This group represented more than fifty percent of the black commissioned officers at the beginning of World War II. In the early years of the program, all male students were required to enroll in the freshman and sophomore course of ROTC. ROTC on this campus was a four year program which taught men and women the basics of officer conduct in cither the Army or Air Force. In the first two years, the Basic Course, students became familiar with military customs such as saluting, drill and ceremony procedures. map reading, marksmanship and physical fitness. Cadets were also offered the opportunity to attend special military schools, including Airborne. Air Assault, and Northern Warfare. Cadet Dione Cummins, who studied at Airborne School in Fort Ben-ning. Georgia, stated. “I attended Airborne School because I wanted to ex- perience the thrill of jumping out of an airplane while in flight. During the third and fourth years, the Advanced Course, cadets were able to fine tune those skills they had previously learned. The third year was structured to allow the cadet to develop proficiency in military tactics in order to prepare for Advanced Camp, which served as the test of the cadet's knowledge and capabilities. Military professionalism and ethics were the focus of the final year, preparing students for the transition from cadet to second lieutenant. Cadet Robin McPhcrrin believed that “ROTC cadets usually work harder than the average student. Not only do we have to maintain university standards hut also ROTC standards, which include waking up at 5:30 a m. three days a week and usually giving up two weekends a month, but in the end it all pays off.” For those who made it through, the Army ROTC program permitted personal as well as professional development. The program also allowed for the development of leadership and management skills which were valuable assets in the work force. It was one of few organizations that enabled students to gain such a rigorous and thorough training while still in school. Charles Rice Jr. SOUND OFF. Cade!

Crystal Bass was one of the Chapel Choir members who sang at Sunday services as well as at special engagements. Noi a day went by in which either a religious service, meeting, wedding, christening, recital, funeral, or choir rehearsal was not held in Rankin C hapel. The university’s other chapels: the Little Chapel in Carnegie Hall, and chapels at the School of Divinity also hosted such functions regularly. The chapel office, headed by Dean Evans E. Crawford since 1958. coordinated events held in Rankin Chapel and served as the liaison between the administration and all four chapels. In order to accommodate all faiths, the chape! system had adopted a non-denominational orientation. Members of the various faiths were represented by two organizations: United Ministries and Coordinated Campus Ministries. The former was a voluntary organization of chaplains who had been appointed by their denominations as directors of their campus religions, while the latter was a group of leaders who had been elected by their respective members on campus. The chapel was accessible for use to any congregational groups, recognized by the Office of Student Activities. Likewise, organizations such as the Gospel Choir. Baptist Student Union. Christian Navigators. Noonday Prayer Fellowship, and Maratha Fellowship used the buildings’ facilities. Aside from its having one of the largest auditoriums on campus (second only to Cramton). the building possessed a certain aura of respect which was very conducive to a religious meeting. The Baptist Student Union held its meetings in the basement of the chapel each Wednesday. “The chapel lends a certain air of spirituality and Christianity, as opposed to somewhere like Blackburn.” explained BSU President Erie Johnson. The chapel office also presided over services held each Sunday, which featured a non-denominaiional “visiting preachers format.” Guest speakers were chosen by Dean Crawford through nominations from the campus ministries, the Committee on Religious Life, and the Friends of Rankin Chapel, an alumni group. Anyone willing to share a significant spiritual experience can speak.” said Crawford of the open door policy concerning guest speakers. Sunday services drew substantial audiences, about two-thirds of which were community attendants. The doors of Rankin Chapel were open to students and faculty of every religious persuasion, “providing they don’t proselytize,” said Crawford. He strived to accommodate all groups through various functions. Whatever the occasion, the chapel existed to aid students in keeping their spiritual selves while getting an education.

The drummer for the band had arrived while the performers backstage paced nervously. The crowd began to settle and eagerly awaited the beginning of the show. The lights dimmed and applause signaled the beginning of Homecoming. The preparation for Homecoming was an exhaustive, year-long effort by a policy board and a steering committee. The committee, headed by Valerie Can-nady, advised by Associate Director of Student Activities. Belinda Lightfoot, and comprised of program coordinators and volunteers, collectively provided social, cultural, and educational programs for those who gathered to rejoice in the spirit that surrounded the campus during this festive time of the ear.

One of the factors that came into play during the planning stage was money. Funds for Homecoming came from an appropriation of the student activity fee. The committee also solicited free supplies and products from businesses. Another factor of importance was commitment on the part of the coordinators, performers, and volunteers in development of the theme. Fast themes like Harambec. “Rich in Tradition.” “Innovative in Concept. and Shades of Excellence were directly related to the committees' perceptions of the student body’s state of mind. After all of the plans had been implemented. the actual events had taken place, and participants had been compensated. committee members were able to settle back into the less hectic role of the college student and await the next period of coming home.

Next, representing the schools of Engineering, Nursing and Allied Health, Business and Public Administration, and Fine Arts were Tawana Ramseur. Tracy Spann, Valda Johnson, and Karen White. As the audience showed signs of eagerness and anticipation, the hobbies and interests segment began. Hobbies such as tennis and dancing, and interests such as participating in rallies and reading mystery novels were presented by the eight women. Once they had articulated their diversities, it was time for them to show the judges and audiences their talents.

Coordinated by Valerie Cannady and Christopher Cathcart, and hosted by WHUR radio disk jockey Linda Reynolds, the concert featured jazz artists Pieces of a Dream and trumpter George Howard. The show provided a change of pace — instead of the customary pop or soul music, subtle jazz sounds pervaded the auditorium. The turnout for both the eight o’clock and eleven o’clock shows was tremendous. Over six hundred jazz lovers attended the early show while eight hundred attended the late show. One unique aspect of this concert was that the audience was comprised more of friends of the university rather than students. Pieces of a Dream, performed first, receiving standing ovations for such melodies as “We Are One,” “Mount Airy Groove and “Time for Love.” Afterwards, George Howard rendered “Dancing in the Sun.” “Love Will Find a Way” and “Quiet As Its Keep” from his new album; and popular tunes like “Human Nature and “Steppin’ Out” from previous albums. Michael George, a resident of Northeast, D.C.. described the trumpter as “awesome.” He stated, “I have heard him on the radio, but this is my first time seeing him in person and he’s everything I thought he’d be and more.” D.C. government worker, Jocelyn Keys also enjoyed the show. “I like jazz because its mellow and it leaves your mind free to imagine.” she commented.

In its tradition of presenting the newest and boldest trends in apparel, “A Fashion Overture” highlighted a vast array of swim wear, casual wear as well as formal wear. As the housclights dimmed in Cram-ton Auditorium, the audience was treated to an array of luminating lights, stimulating sounds and fanciful fashion. Mieux Craig, the show’s coordinator, and his staff worked for months to produce a show that presented the newest vogue while providing entertainment. Choreography, provided by Alvin King, was simple with no flashy or complicated moves; the most recognizable choreographic style involved the models parading in groups (to save time) rather than solo. Intermission amusement was provided by songstress Kim Jordan, an alumnus, and comedienne Mandy Brooks, a fine arts major. After this mixture of musical and comical entertainment, the crossover” occurred. “Crossover. undoubtedly the most talked about scene, had men and women in the role reversal. Female models donned double-breasted suits, fedora hats and baggy pants while the men sported long, slim designer skirts and kills. Audience reaction to this scene was both surprise and fascination. After subsequent displays of leather and lace, silk and cashmere and denim and cotton, and after a finale in which the models, designers and staff were introduced, the Overture had come to a close.

Four Christian men comprised Commissioned, the next group that performed. According to Tom Simmons, an insurance major, the concert as a whole was fantastic, and Commissioned was her favorite. They’re young and probably had the choice to sing any kind of music, but they choose to sing for Ciod. They have a popular style that’s also spiritual.

International Day: A Cultural Affair, held on Friday, October I Ith and Saturday, the 12th did just that. Coordinated by Johari Abdul-Maltk. the weekend event provided entertainment as well as information about issues concerning African and West Indian people. Friday night's event, titled A little Taste of Afnee, offered an array of entertainment for a small but enthusiastic audience. Held in the Blackburn Center Ballroom, the event included a fashion show, dance exhibition. and live music. Sponsored by the African Emporium, the fashion show spotlighted exotic clothing made of the most extravagant fabrics of Nigeria. Next was the Kan Korvan West African Company, a group consisting of four drummers and eleven dancers. Their rhythmic drum beats and traditional dancers inspired members of the audience to join in the dancing. Also featured was the New World Percussion Ensemble, a seven member group who specialized in reggae with a jazz-flavor. During a brief intermission. Ernest Isemin. publisher of African Sun magazine, delivered a message about economic development in the black community. Saturday’s activities were multifaceted, taking place on campus and at Banneker Field. Seminars on such topics as terrorism and immigration were held throughout the day. ending in a keynote address by Jamil Al-Amin. An Islamic bazaar and African marketplace in which various merchandise was displayed and sold also took place. A host of entertainers, including the reggae band Steel Pan. instrumentalist Djime Kouyate. and Namdi Nyasuna, Baba Ngoma and their Worlds of Percussion, offered a show full of variety.

Other local bands who participated were Spingarn, Ballou. Woodson. Roosevelt and Mac-Farland. Cardo o. Anacostia, and Eastern High Schools. The cheerleaders and the school mascot rode in style on Corvettes provided by the Corvette Club. Also featured were the Metro Z-28 C lub, which carried slate club queens.

Miss School of Business and Miss Georgia Club rode in stretch limousines, while Miss Liberal Arts and her Court smiled and waved to the crowd from the back of a Model T Ford. The Gentlemen of Drew, dressed in suits, walked along with the car which carried their queen. Miss Howard was not to be overshadowed. as she rode with other school queens on a colorful tloat adorned with a large heart. Another highlight was the university's Girl Scout Troop who were dressed in blue and while. As the procession made its way up Georgia Avenue and towards its end, one could only be proud.

October 19. as the football team defeated the Trojans of Virginia State 17-7 for their first win of the season at RFK. Memorial Stadium. “During the whole week we knew we were supposed to win.” said Kevin Weeks, a defensive tackle from Queens, NY. We were playing with more confidence.” Although scoreless, the first half was hardly boring as fans remained on the edges of their seats anticipating that each play would result in a score. At halftime, the crowd settled back to watch each band, both of whom performed with precision. However, an unusual air of anticipation could still be detected on our side of the stadium. “We're gonna win this one.” fans assured each other excitedly as the team trotted back onto the field. Early in the third quarter. Jon Nicolaison connected on a 30-yard field goal attempt to make the score 3-0. Then, on the next possession. Lee DeBose pitched left to Haney Reed. The inimitable Reed shook off one defensive tackle and cut up the left sideline for an 85-yard touchdow n. The score was 10-0 and the fans were on their feet. But the guys werejust warming up. In the fourth quarter, with 7:25 left in the game, the irrepressible Lee DeBose. playing despite a twisted knee, scored on a nine yard run following a 22- ard punt return by Doug Dickerson. It was just desire to win the game, and when I have a desire to do something, nothing can really stop me.” said DeBose of his performance. Although the offense played well, the game really belonged to the defense, who held the Trojans to one touchdown, scored with 2:40 left in the game. Freshman safety Willie Spanky” Johnson had two interceptions and broke up what could have been a 76-yard Virginia State touchdown pass with a one-hand deflection. “Coach told me where my keys would be and I just read my keys and happened to be in the right place at the right time.” Johnson said. Junior nose tackle Curtis Strokes had five sacks in the game. “All the players seemed to really want this win.” he said. “We didn’t put our heads between our legs and give up.” For the football team, the metamorphosis was a reality — a change in altitude, a change in performance. and a change in the season’s record.

Jr After years of rallying Congress for a day to celebrate the birth of the civil rights activist, diverse people across the country were able to show their appreciation for the Reverend. Like thousands of college students across the nation, students at this university used the day to remember King. On Dr Kings actual birthday (January 15) the International Business Fraternity Delta Sigma Pi held its 5th annual candlelight vigil at the flagpost on campus. According to Delta Sigma Pi member. Herman McKinney, the fraternity wanted to continue its tradition of celebration through songs and poetry. Although the wind chill factor created sub-zero temperatures, approximately fifty students, faculty members, and community members braved the freezing climate for two hours to pay their respects to Dr. King. While these supporters sang outside, others took part in a program in the Blackburn Center art gallery. Original paintings by artist Sherman Watkins depicted the various stages in the life of Dr. King. On the 20th, organizations like HL'SA. UGSA, LA SC and the Noonday Prayer Fellowship recognized Dr King's achievements through a freedom march at the South African Embassy and through memorial services. The Reverend Jesse Jackson was on hand to give his impressions of the marty red civil rights activist and the future of the civil rights movement. Even though most municipalities and businesses nationwide took the time to properly recognize King's achievements, there were some business and community leaders who decided not to take this day to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. One unfortunate incident in the District served as a reminder that King's quest to eliminate racism was not completely successful. On January 20th. disc jockey the (ireaseman” (Doug Tract) of WWDC-FM radio stated If the assassination of one Black leader was cause for a day off. then killing four more would result in getting the rest of the week off. This comment sparked the creation of Black United Youth (BUY), who in conjunction with student governments of this university and of other local universities, began a campaign to have the (ireaseman lired.

Age plays a major role in the incidence of car accidents caused by drunk driving. Much to the anger and disagreement of teenagers and the exasperation and concern of parents, statistics showed that teenagers were the most likely to be killed as a result of drunk driving. John Volpe, Chairman of the Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving, informed U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT that in 1984, sixteen to twenty-four year olds made up 20% of the driving population, but were involved in 42% of all fatal alcohol-related crashes. Only, within the last 15 years, had the government begun to act on the alarming statistics resulting from deaths due to intoxication or driving under the influence(DUI). In response to the question of whether or not raising the drinking age to 21 in all states would be the solution. Volpe explained “There has been a reduction of fatalities by 2,600 when 14 states raised the drinking age. It has been estimated that if all stales raised (the age), 730 more young people would be saved annually.” In the District, the issue was of importance. Virginia and Mary land have adopted the age increase. while D.C. has not. Consequently, more teenagers filtered into the city from the suburbs to take advantage of the more lenient requirements (18 for beer and wine, 21 for harder liquor). On campus, students voiced their opi-nions on the issue. Jason Reynolds, an 18 year old freshman majoring in Computer Science stated. I’d like the drinking age to stay the same because most teenagers arc responsible. Besides, if they raised the age. teenagers would find someone to buy it (liquor) for them. Said 19 year-old Samantha Williams. Raising the age is a contradiction to their (teenagers) rights: but for me it doesn’t matter. Mixed reactions came from students who would not be affected by the law. Julia Ingram, a 21 year old Marketing major, commented There are so many irresponsible young people; I think they should have one age for all types of alcohol because they (teenagers) can get it so easily. She added that, regardless of the type, all alcohol had the same effect if enough was consumed. Others believed, however, that alcohol affected everyone, no matter what age. in the same manner. Therefore, whether one was 18 or 21 was irrelevant; one’s level of intoxication was the object of concern. Although both sides of the argument were debatable, those under the age of 21 were clearly under the greatest risk of being killed due to drinking and driving. A 1983 TIME magazine article estimated that an average of 5000 teenagers died each year as a result of drunk driving. Whether raising the D.C. drinking age can turn these statistics around can only be seen in time.

Since it’s Thursday night and everyone will be glued to the set to watch The Cosby Show, we should be able to get the machines, Downy reasoned. She stuffed her clothes into two baskets and a bag while reminding her roommate to bring the washing powder and the money. Releasing an audible sigh of relief at the sight of empty machines,she proceeded to seperate the clothes into two piles. 1 hope you have case quarters, because I don’t, Bouncy moaned as she hurried into the laundry-room. Downy hesitated, looked at her friend in disbelief and began taking the clothes out of the machine. Three hours later, after walking to the store and buying unnecessary items in order to get change, they repeated the process. I’m so tired. I’ve been up since seven this morning. Downy exclaimed. as they enter their room. I know what you mean, but I have some studying to do. Bouncy added. “Good. Wake me up when you gel ready to put the clothes in the dryer.

The clothes arc clean and have somehow found their way from the washer to the top of a dryer. After getting over the embarassment of knowing that some stranger knows the size and color of their personals. they stuffed all of the clothes into one dryer. Seven quarters and six hours later, the laundry is finally clean and dry.

Working as a sales clerk offered experience in customer relations and finances Dough. Moolah. Duckets. Cold, hard cash. Everyone is in search of it. Students have come to realize that the best way to make money is the old-fashioned way - to earn it. The hard part is figuring out hosv to earn this money considering the fact that all the retail stores and restaurants in town arc filled to capacity with part-time workers. It takes a lot of ambition, creativity, and talent to come up with original ways to earn money. Some students have answered the challenge by offering products and serv ices to their fellow students. Brian Sharif sits in front of the Quad in one of his own creations, anxiously waiting to do business. T-shirts are the hot commodity in demand and this vendor is more than happy to supply. 'l enjoy offering a product which is different and cheap. From conception to completion, it’s all me; I like to be original. he says. Amidst the sea of Gucci. Polo, and Guess, Sharifs talent stands out and has grown in popularity. It gives me a good feeling to see that others like my ideas. says the young entrepreneur. Just as products are in demand. so are services. Need your hair braided? How about a paper typed? If skilled labor makes you cringe, not to worry, hope looms over the academic horizon. Good in our native tongue? Proofread and edit someone’s research paper. Parlcz vous francais? Konnen sre deutsch sprechcn? I labia cspanol usted? If a foreign language suits you best, make a foreigner out of a first-year language student. Of course, all of these services are conducted for a fee.

The Students Special Services. a government funded organization, pays students who have the skill, the patience, and the desire to help others distinguish between cosine and sine or differentiate a polynomial. Granted, these ideas represent only a few of the ways in which money can be made. Even if you do not have a specialty or a skill, there is one thing you do possess: an imagination.

Nor were you going crazy. A recent plan to improve campus facilities had been enacted through the university administration and engineering services. Most of the recent additions were only small parts of long-range master plan for the campus and surrounding areas. The pleasant odor which became stronger as you approached Slowc Hall was coming from all the home-cookin' that residents of that dorm were able lo cook due to new microwave ovens. The previous ones did not work ninety-five percent of the time and residents greatly appreciated new ones. There was nothing like the first cup of coffee to get you going in the morning or an icc cold “slurpcc to quench your midday thirst. The recently built 7-11 store at Georgia Avenue and Fairmount Street provided these conveniences as well as employment for students. On the main campus, vislors were spared the confusing experience of having to ask someone for directions to the medical school with the addition of in- formation maps. For those who walked with their heads down, this proved to be a painful, hut rapid adjustment. Most car owners who lived on campus were no strangers to parking tickets and mile-long trek to class. Fortunately, they would soon be treated to a new parking lot at Fourth and Bryant Streets. For sports enthusiasts, a new scoreboard attached to a new. resurfaced football field were also part of the master plan. The recently installed new scorcbaords in the gym helped pave the way for this major addition. Finally we will be able to attend night games in the freezing weather like the Redskins fans. These improvements paled in comparison to other, more extensive projects planned for the future. But it was the little things that enhanced the larger projects and provided more cohcsivcncss to the campus. So the next time you make a meal in two minutes or do not have to feed a parking meter every two hours, remember to thank Mr. Harris and the administration for putting your tuition and fees to good use.

Architecture students were challenged with the problem of designing buildings which were both functional and attractive. Said eighteen year old sophntore Jamil Edwards, “(you) have to have an eye for designing and be artistic in order to make (your) building sell. Some architecture Students felt that equal amounts of art and science were involved in the design of buildings. According to twenty-two year old senior Dccdra Morley. “the esthetics are more important because the layman understands the artistic side rather than the science that goes into a project. The building should catch the eye because that is what people sec. Architecture students continually produced drawings and models, but rarely had their work displayed in the school's gallery . In comparison, the School of Fine Arts gallery displayed donated collections (temporary or permanent) and student work each Spring.

Petitioning, Campaigning and Voting: The Elections Process The Election Committee Office was buzzing with activity. “Did you get the dates coordinated for the speakout? a volunteer said as she squeezed into the tiny office. The preparation began long before the elections, but the activity heightened in February. During this time. Cocoordinator Sharon Bryant, a senior majoring in international business finance. had her hands full. “We are directly over all the planning and coordination of the election of the HUSA president and vice-president, undergraduate and graduate trustees, voting guidelines and procedures.” Bryant said. Bryant and Cocoordinator Margo Ward, a senior majoring in computer information systems were nominated by the HUSA staff and were voted for by the General Assembly. The two. along with their staff often had to fill in holes that exist in the HUSA constitution regarding elections and its procedures. Filling in these holes was only one problem that Belinda Lightfoot. Associate Director of Students Activities, felt needed to be addressed. “Change needs to start in the constitution” Lightfoot said. “More specific guidelines need to be set concerning when things happen.” The “things that the constitution did not address were guidelines concerning write-in candidates, deadlines for petitions among other issues. But Bryant said the committee worked to resolve some of the problems by recognizing difficulties that occurred during the pre-election preparations and during elections. “We kept a list of problems that popped up so other chairpersons do not have to go through the problems of prior years. Bryant said. Although Bryant said the guidelines were constantly changing, she also said that it did not upset the continuity of the program. Bryant who has worked with the election committee for four years said that her major concern regarding elections was the students’ negative view of the process. They (students) come for laughs.” Bryant said. “The people who really need to hear the candidates and issues stand on the sidelines and laugh. Then they wonder how some people got into office.” Bryant said the committee tried to get students involved. But it was a sad fact that out of the 12.000 students at the university, less than 2.000 students vote in general elections. Krystal Quinn HAKI AT WORK wl kMiCntOttiNBXlcc chairmjn.

Hairstyles on campus ranged from the latest, most radical dos to the practical and more conventional styles. Next to clothing, a hairstyle could reveal much about a person’s personality. The motives behind various coiffures were as different as the styles themselves. Not all students believed that eccentric hairdos could be reasonably justified. Corey Sully, a 19 year old sophomore majoring in finance, believed that extreme styles were crutches.” Some people don’t know of other ways to draw positive attention to themselves or maybe they are succumbing to peer pressure. she stated. Lynn Squires, a 19 year old freshman majoring in psychology offered the same idea but from a different perspective. I personally don't like the block or geometric styles because it (hair) may not grow back. And how would that look to corporate America? However, experimenting with new and different styles could be adventuresome and could give one a chance to find his or her best style.

Kadical hair styles. she continued, “are okay now but after graduation, one needs to produce a positive, professional image. There were no right or wrong sty les; some were merely more expressive than others. From conservative and businesslike to carefree and wild, sty les also reflected the historical present. The asymmetrical cuts of the 80s were considered radical and extremist, just as cornrows and large afros were in previous eras. All were statements of the feelings and attitudes of their times. The trend of short cuts, both natural and curly permed, worn by males and females exemplified the current mode of androgy ny .

On Sunday, November 3. the Fifth Annual Salute to Black Women Awards Banquet was a celebration of the determination of the nine award winners and Black women worldwide. The diversity of the awards presented by the Undergraduate Student assembly (UGSA) exemplied the depth of the Black women’s influence in present day society. From civil rights activism to journalism, a wide range of specializations were well represented. Winnie Mandela, wife of African National Congress leader, Nelson Mandela, was awarded for her undying committment to ending apartheid. At the mention of her name and her accomplishments, the civil rights activist received a standing ovation although she was unable to attend. Other honorees included Barbara Williams-Skinncr. Vice-President of Tom Skinner and Associates and Deputy Campaign Manager for Jesse Jackson’s 1984 bid for the presidential campaign, and Dorothy Gilliam Washington Post columnist and author of Paul Robeson: All American.

Who are these military like zombies who run on the yard cutting sharp corners? They arc pledgees. Seeking to gain membership into a fraternity or sorority, the pledgees were pul through weeks of often grueling but enlightening experiences. Reasons for pledging were as varied as the organizations. But all pledgees strived to attain all that their organization stood for. There arc many highlights of the pledge period. During spring semester, the grounds in between Rankin Chapel and Founders Library became a showplacc as the pledgees tried to out greet each other. The final chapter of a pledgee's journey is played out during probate day. On this day. the pledgees began their final steps toward becoming a fraternity or sorority member. Krystal K.

From year to year, students expected to cat and dance too much at the President’s Picnic, get frustrated during registration and catch a few extra hours of sleep by not attending Convocation. Although these events and others happened every year, they were still looked forward to by many. Often these events carried a sense of tradition that enabled students to solidify ihcir sense of belonging. So. when students finished their tenure here and became alumni, the events that never changed became a comforting remembrance. Krystal K Quinn ilk‘ 4 Academics CONVOCATION.

The long lines of registration were an unavoidable occurrence Academics 95jJ|k Founders’ Library resource centers: Preserving Our Heritage When the university was founded in 1867, General Oliver O. Howard also started a gallery to display pictures and artifacts of the Civil War. Due to the financial panic of 1873. the museum could no longer be maintained and the collections were dispersed to different departments on campus. In the 1930's the efforts of Professor Kelly Miller revived the concept of the museum. Miller proposed the “Negro Americana Museum and Research Library” in 1912 in hopes that it would become the national center for the study of Black culture. Two of his most notable supporters were Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke and W.E.B. DuBois. Despite all of their efforts, the trustees thought that it was an inopportune time to establish the center. Fortunately, with the appointment of the university’s first Black president, Mordecai W. Johnson, came renewed interest in the school’s history. Miller, who had become a dean, was again the impetus behind the museum’s establishment. Upon President Johnson’s recommendation, the trustees approved the concept on October 25, FOUNDER. A bus! of General Otis Howard served to remind us of the roots of this institution. 1938. When Dean Miller died, so did interest in the museum, which remained dormant until 1979. That year the museum was rededicated, its beginnings as an integral part of the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center was established. Today, the museum functioned in conjunction with the “Moorland Room in Founder's Library, the an gallery, and the Prints and Photographs Archives. The museum was maintained by the docent. Scott Baker, an alumnus of the university. Stated Baker. Our purpose is scholarly. This is a teaching museum because the things on exhibit are worth doing academic research on. Because it was an attachment of the Research Center, the exhibits consisted largely of donations from the center, private citizens and the manuscript division. Therefore in some cases, the exhibits were permanent, like the sculpture of Paul Robeson, and the bronze bust of Gen. Howard. Others exhibits were temporary, such as the Alain Locke Centennial: 1885-1985 which was compiled through the manuscript division and would be on display until next year. Whatever the case, the museum collected things that reflected the university’s changes, its people, times, and attitudes. Because the museum seldom bought any artifacts, due to lack of allocated funds and other administrative problems, it relied completely on donations. Baker stated. “We have a hard time because wc cannot accept everything. The museum was appreciative of the gifts, but due to its scholarly nature, documents and papers were in demand more so than pictures and artifacts. “People get us confused. sighed Baker, we arc separate, but related. We borrowed from them and they from us. We have the information and they (art gallery) have the pictures. In effect, we were all working for the same thing. Miller envisioned it. Johnson implemented it. And Baker ran it. Clearly their goal had been the same throughout history, to preserve the Black heritage and to reflect the diversity and richness of Black history. So Miller’s dream of a cultural center had found fruition in the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center.

Although students tended to believe that President C heek was the chief decision-maker of the university, it was actually the Hoard of Trustees who possessed such powers. The thirty-member body consisted of two faculty members, two students, two alumni, and professionals from all over the country. Dr. Geraldine Woods. Chairman of the Board, presided over the body's quarterly meetings, held in September. January , April and June of each academic year. In addition to the full board meetings, each trustee also attended meetings of one of the ten committees on which he or she served. These committees dealt with such areas as academic affairs, mass media (WHUR radio and WHMM television) and investments. All proposals and recommendations had to be submitted through one of the committees in order to be considered by the Board at large. Once a proposal was approved. Secretary Owen Nichols and Treasurer Caspa Harris were responsible for informing all administrators and completing the financial analysis necessary to enact the proposal. The positions of Secretary and Treasurer of the university were unique in that they were officers of the Board, but not official trustees. Regulating and governing, as well as enhancing such a large and diversified university was no easy task for the Board of Trustees. However, it was an achievable responsibility from which all administrators, faculty and students were able to benefit.

Says Negron, the Director of the University Book Store System, “it makes for a long day. but I do it. Regardless of the lateness of the class, benefits do exist. The classes arc small and the professor is able to give each of us more attention and it's not so noisy.” related Thorpe, a sophomore. Seemingly rush-hour traffic back-ups could pose a problem, but Negron says, It’s easier and more convenient to drive afterwards, I just breeze right through. The only reported drawback lies in the dreaded long break between morning and evening classes. I have a four o'clock break and it's hard to get up if I go to sleep. I missed one class that way, so I try to stay awake. says Lori Sims. Rapidly the hues change, yet it’s not quite dark. Class is over. Time to go home and study in preparation for tomorrow. The average student may have a head start, but as junior. Tammy Glover sums it up. Time doesn’t matter because I really wanted the class.

Director for Recreation University Center The Afro-American Studies Program let us Learn About Our Culture What career opportunities dul a degree in Afro-American Studies offer? lit'SA prompted renewed interest in the subject last year with a campaign to enact an Afro-American Studies course as a requirement, just as Lnglish is. Few people realized that it was already possible to earn a bachelor's degree in the subject at this university. The program consisted of three main courses. The introductory course outlined the purpose and scope of the program. Part one was a survey of major forces, epochs and situations which helped to shape the black experience in the Americas; it also highlighted pre-colonial African societies, the slave era. the post-emancipation period and contemporary life. Part two involved a critical examination, focusing on sociological and political factors. Also in this course, emphasis was placed on the institutions of family, church, and school in the context of the larger American social order. Courses such as these were available to all students and they could fulfill certain divisional requirements for Afro-American Studies majors, these courses along with others were mandatory, adding up to a total thirty-three required credit hours. Eighteen credit hours were required for students who minored in the topic. Few students were aware that the departmental's research center was located on the third floor of Founders' library, along with the offices chairman. Dr. Adams, and several faculty members. Said Dr. Adams. “The center's goal is to disseminate information on and related to the global black experiences. The collection consisted of books, periodicals, records, slides, films, video, and cassette tapes. Although other majors on campus were more popular than Afro-American Studies, its relevance was by no means questionable. The program offered a political and sociological study of issues concerning the history and culture of black people in the U.S. All students, no matter what their major, were able to utilize the resource center to educate themselves on matters concerning black people.

English, chemistry, microbiology, accounting, functions, and economics were among the top answers. Students generally agreed that math. English and the sciences were the most difficult subjects. Why was this so? The reasons were profuse, ranging from ineffective teaching procedures to lax study habits. Nicole Deboard, who was studying to be a medical dietician, felt that the instructors in that department were not willing to spend additional time with students. “They feel that the hour and twenty minute lecture is sufficient, she staled. According to Deboard, there was a shortage of tutors in her field, a problem which was reflected in student performance in science classes. Microbiology major Olga Austin offered a reason why sonic science classes are more difficult than others, “the science professors are good, hut the large classes eliminate individual attention and subtract from the effectiveness of the lectures. she commented. Although the faculty and administration could in some cases, lower the level of difficulty of a course, often the responsibility rested with the students. Extra reading and disciplined studying on the student's part was often necessary to fare well in courses, like the sciences. However, not everyone was w illing or able to take extra steps required to improve their grades. Jobs, extracurricular activities, and social demands sometimes caused students to compromise their study time. “There are just not enough hours in a day to do everything. related Donna Newman, a journalism major who worked part-time. Others had less valid reasons for letting difficult classes get the best of them Vernicc Howard. Director of the Educational Advisory Services in the College of Liberal Arts suggested that these students become more serious about their studies. “College is disciplining students to rid themselves of bad habits like cutting class or going to class late. Students feel that because they are on their own. they can do what they feel, but they must take responsibility.” she commented. Sonic students believed that their course loads were often difficult to handle. but their goals could be achieved through hard work and discipline. These two factors, coupled with extra assistance from instructors, could result in better performance by students and a rise in the ever-important G.P.A.

Part of the reason that the school has maintained us reputation is due to the educators who teach at this institution. A factor that contributed to the credibility of our professors was that many of our instructors were also noted authors Professor Samuel Yctte. author of the highly acclaimed book The Choice and Professor Frank Snowden, author of the book Blacks in Antiquity and other publications on African culture, were only a few of our well-known authors. Staying ahead as educators was one of the reasons why some instructors published books and articles in their field. Obtaining tenure was another reason. But more often it was a desire to spread the word.” said I)r. Russel Adams author and chairman of the Department of Afro-American Studies. “We study for our own growth. Adams continued, and then spread our knowledge. The information found during the researching of a book or article often found its way into the classroom bencfitiing the students. Although the teaching load enabled professors to do some writing, the time allowed was often too short Adams said that he often had to spend a good part of his holidays doing research for his articles. Money was also an obstacle for educator authors. Grants were few and far between. Nevertheless, our professors continued to publish and carry on the tradition of this university.

Group projects combined the research paper with an oral and visual presentation. Trying to write a research paper was difficult enough in itself, but doing so with four or five others could be that much more difficult. Numerous problems, from some group members not wanting to work, to conflicting viewpoints, could arise. On the other hand, group projects could prove fun and educational. From essays to research papers to group projects, students could be sure they would encounter several of these during their college careers. Upon entering college, your expectations of total independence, wild parties. new friends, and fun quickly subsided when you realized that you also had to attend classes, study, and do homework. Lectures, labs, quizzes, exams, essays, research papers, group projects — the list went on and on. By the time you became a junior, you had w ritten nineteen essays, done six research papers, and participated in four group projects. You began to wonder if someone had changed your major to journalism as a practical joke. No matter what a student's major was. he was faced with the unavoidable task of writing endless papers. Essays were usually one to three pages long. covering a relatively small subject, or exhibiting a specific style of writing. Everyone who has taken English 001 and 002 got his fair share of writing essays. On the other hand, research papers were more in-depth and were often comprehensive. Students were usually given a time span of from a month to a semester in which to complete this task. Endless hours were spent in libraries all over campus and the city to find the necessary data, collected on an assortment of note cards, xerox copies, and notebook pages. Then came the dreaded chore of organizing all this information, writing the paper, and typing it. Typing papers GROUP PROJECTS.

Too much beer and too much fun had resulted in an apathetic attitude. At 9:00 am someone asked. “How did you do?' “Oh I accd it, it was a breeze. You must've studied all night, like me. “Nah. I just came properly prepared.” he replied, taking out a sheet covered with notes. Cheating was unfair and dishonest. Unfortunately, for some it was a way of life. A poor attitude and lack of disciplined study habits were reasons for this act. Mark Baker, 21 year old zoology major, believed that cheating was a mark of substandard intellect. Quinton Robertson, a 21 year old finance major, disagreed. “I’m not condoning it, but it is inevitable. Maybe the professors can control it more, but it will still occur. One reason cheating continues is because the competition for good jobs is very stiff. Everyone is looking for an edge. Cheating in school may have provided an “edge. but as Mark observed, “it reflects exactly what one is going to do in the professional world later. Students who cheated were depriving themselves of the opportunity to learn. Ultimately, lack of skills and knowledge would surface and work against the habitual cheater. Just as there were mixed emotions about the act itself, reactions to those who cheated were also varied. Eric Mitchell. a 20 year old administration of justice major, argued that “you study and there will always be someone in the class who wants to cheat off you because he didn't. He will actually get mad. if you don’t agree.” Psychology major Lynn Squire, a 19 year old freshman. CHEAT NOTES. Some students hid notes in unusual places in an effort to cheat, stated, “Almost all freshmen cheat especially on finals. Maybe the professors should have open book tests to give everyone the same advantage. It should cither be that or stricter security. Cheating was a risky but convenient approach to mediocrity. A somewhat ineffective method of enforcing the honor code contributed to the problem. I he “play now, pay later” attitude was common among cheaters, but the results were often devastating.

To supplement the daily dose of classroom instruction, many sought on the job experience by obtaining internships in their majors. Senior Todd Johnson, an International Business major, worked part-time for International Business Machines (IBM) during the school year. Johnson thought the experience and knowledge he gained was invaluable. “If you want to see what the corporate world is like you can't beat it.” Johnson said. Senior Craig Frai er. who was employed by Proctor and (iambic Company during the summer, agreed. “An internship gives you a chance to get your feet wet in the world. he commented. Getting one’s feet wet also enabled an intern to see if he or she enjoyed working in their chosen field of study early in the game. Although both employers and students rccogni ed that the internship was an educational tool, there was a high level of professionalism and productivity ex- pected from the intern. Frazier said that his job duties were not spoon fed to him. I was responsible for a one million dollar account. I was given a car and I was expected to do the job. he said. There were also added benefits to the internship at Proctor and Gamble. Frazier said. My territory was in the Virginia Beach and Washington. D.C. area. Frazier said. I did a lot of traveling and got put up in some nice hotels. The university has traditionally attracted the country’s top recruiters. Students looking for intern positions could he found at the Career Planning and Placement Office, the School of Communications Annual Conference and the annual Business Week among other places. At these conferences and during interviews, recruiters looked for certain qualities in their interviewees. You have to sell yourself. advised Johnson. You should relax, dress properly. make good eye contact, know a little about the company and have a few-good questions to ask the interviewer. Added Fraizer. Internships make it so much easier to get a job. Krystal Quinn CAREER PLANNING Students like tjiicsa Watson made use of the ffice of Career Planning and Placement to find jobs in their major.

He is the proud member of a special class of people - The Graduating Senior. Yes, the infamous registration lines have been conquered, the required courses secured, and the annual drama of student accounts has reached its finale. Seniority has been firmly established. Such combat has given one the necessary machinery to battle the struggle which lies ahead. While some prepare to enter yet another academic arena, and some to become active participants of the workforce, others prefer to lie idle, waiting for a new and tempting avenue which will spark interest in a particular pursuit. Those whose future is paved with superior degrees are busy filling out applications for graduate schools of every sort. Some intend to brave the academic world of business schools while others intend to follow the path which leads to medical and law degrees. The tedious work of completing undergraduate applications is now replicated in the draining task of completing graduate applications. However, the completion of these applications stimulates the overwhelming desire to be accepted as well as the fear of being rejection. Those destined for the work force arc traveling the nation for interviews with established business firms and prominent corporations desperately seeking a position on the ladder of success. The year is near its end; however, what was perhaps expected to be a peaceful close has been made hectic by such responsibilities as picture taking, resume development, and the completion of required courses. These end-of-year normalities are compounded by thoughts of future achievements and the planning which these possible achievements entail. When it appeared that the end is near, it is, in fact, only the beginning of a more powerful and challenging experience -LIFE AFTER COLLEGE. Kathi A.

Rm jrdo Aiwmon |,� 1P|rl H7 Jk Some matches were perfect but: Odd Couples Were the Norm Over ihe length of the college years, one experience often proved more memorable than others- the experience of having a roommate! Although apartments in the area and dormitories were usually similar in design, roomates came in all different sizes, shapes and personalities, finding “the perfect match' was difficult and in most eases impossible; thus, odd couples were more of the norm. It was this oddity that added that special spice to life with a roommate. Michcll Fenner and Robyn Ferguson, residents of Park Square dormitory, chose each other as roomates because they felt that knowing one another before hand would make it easy for them to live together. But. as they soon learned, neither was the perfect roommate. Michelle preferred junk food while Robyn cooked full meals every evening. Their study habits also differed. Michelle studied right before she went to bed which was usually late at night, but Robyn studied early and went to bed by eleven p.m. For Terrence Miller and Larry Jones, living in a double in Slowc Hall was a bowl of chccrics”. Since they were both business majors and had similar classes. Terrence and I.arry helped each other with their studies. In fact, they got along like brothers ; the only snag was scheduling the times that their girlfriends could visit. An apartment in Northwest. D.C. was home to Rhonda CTulhfield and Michael Jefferson. Michael compared living with Rhonda to living with a movie star. She stays in the bathroom for hours every morning, and she spends another hour deciding what clothes to put on to go to school. he stated. The only complaint Rhonda voiced was that Michael's buddies often frequented their apartment to play cards, smoke and drink. Michael and Ronda kept the peace by talking out their differences. Although having a roommate had its negative as well as positive aspects, every student who has shared his or her living quarters could honestly say it was a memorable experience.

It's fun; we have a good relationship because we grew up together.” But having grown up together usually caused the opposite reaction, but not in this case. “Going out with him was just as much fun as going out with other friends. We're good friends. I can tell him just about anything,” continued Renee about her relationship with her brother. For Gerald, who is a year and three months younger, homesickness lingered less: ”1 came down a week early and she helped me get adjusted in all legal matters. Therefore. I was not that homesick.” he said. If there was one advantage to having a sibling on campus, it was having a familiar face in a massive crowd. Said 19 year old Charisse Killian, a sophomore majoring in broadcast. “He (Kevin her brother) was someone to confide in or relate to. It was like having a best ‘guy’ friend to talk to about anything. One common aspect that they all seemed to share w-as the closeness they experienced after going to school together. On the other hand. Mark E. Baker. 21 and his brother George 22 experienced togetherness after being separated during the maturing years. Said Mark, a senior majoring in Zoology. I think he has come to respect me as an adult. He (George) was at Florida A M University for three years before transferring to this university, and I made it without his constant supe rvision.” Even though they were tied together by familial bonds, the need for independence still surfaced. Said Mark. ”1 already adjusted to being on my own for two years before he came here. So 1 have to get used to my big brother up here, telling me what to do. Respect was the mediating factor on the relationship and prevented unnecessary and unwanted interference in each other's lives. College could be a tortuous experience with many unforeseeable twists and turns, but love and friendship saw them through the rough times. As the song goes, he ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.” Mignon McLcmore SIMM. A K MAJORS.

Brothers and sisters on campus helped to keep each other from bcinj: homesick. From a grit to a smile: Expressions Said It All There were many expressions that all students possessed either consciously or unconsciously. Take, the wide range of expressions in the “add-drop line or the pay-your-tuition line, for example. Agony. Despair. Frustration. And finally, JOY when one reached the door only to be replaced by DISBELIEF when the woman at the door informed the student that it was lunchtime! But nothing could replace the green pallor that spread across the features of a student in the cafeteria line as he decided on the brown or red stuff for lunch. This pallor was soon replaced by an ashen, colorless complexion after a few bites. Exams caused a variety of expressions to crease students’ features. There was the student who pulled an all nighter only to find that the professor cancelled class. Fury. Anger. (One may even see daggers in his eyes.) Then extreme fatigue. For those who studied for a “normal” length of time, the expressions were varied. Panic was one which came from memory lapses or lack of understanding. Confusion was caused by the realization that “I did not study that”. Satisfaction was an expression of the fortunate few. The student with this look was the one frantically scribbling away with a smirk across his face and an upward curl of his top lip. The student in love was the most interesting to watch because he ran through hundreds of emotions in a a short span of time. Euphoria. Bliss. Anger. Despair. They were all there and easily recognizable. The Lovebird is the one who bumped into people or who did not hear a friend who called him by name. After a morning of fighting with his lover, he went through emotional despair. By noon, he was muttering expletives and throwing open doors in undisguised rage. By early evening, his brow was knitted in a worried frown as he wondered if he should have apologized. A student’s life was turbulent and he had many expressions to deal with the chaos. Whether effective or ineffective. facial expressions revealed what was on the student’s mind and for the observant, served as a warning. Because expressions become instinctive a student often found it hard to hide his emotions. Mignon McLcmore ADAMANT BTUF.VER The Rcvcrand Dean STUNNED.

LAUGHING FACES. Those who were lucky enough to win in the games of Kasino Nitc enjoyed a pleasent evening. A Permanent Home When a senior high school student chose a college, it was under the assumption that he would stay there until he graduated. Sometimes, however, extenuating circumstances would force the student to make a change. Once the transferring started, it became a continuing cycle, hard to get out of unless he made the correct second choice. There were several students who had seemingly made that choice, albeit for different reasons. Said Elroy Christie, a 23 year old. Chemical Engineering major, “1 had an associate degree in Chemical technology, but I wanted more responsibility and that meant acquiring more knowledge, more theory.” In Kceia Farley's case, the school did not meet her needs or expectations. Kecia. a twenty year old. Broadcast Journalism major, stated that she. “needed to be with more Black people (because Mercer University is predominantly white).” Antonia Ann Coleman, a 20 year old. Computer Systems Engineering major, transferred because of her school’s inadequacy and of her desire to experience “The Mecca.” But once they transferred, the adjustment period was the main obstacle. Stated Coleman. “When I first got here, it was much bigger than I expected. I felt like I was blocked out and I had to take the initiative to make friends.” One common problem that they all experienced was adjusting to the massive quantities of people, and how to deal with their attitudes. But once they learned the system, they seemed to appreciate the history and consequently, the pride that we feel. When one heard of a transfer student, one thought of someone who just left one school and came to another. But it was much more complicated: mental and spiritual factors (as well as. financial) influenced whether the transfer would adjust or end up on that vicious cycle of never being able to find a permanent place; fortunately, they seemed to have found a permanent home. Mignon McLemore GETTING ACQUAINTED. Paula Pruitt, a microbiology major helps Rhonda Gregory adjust to this university. HELP THE SISTERHOOD. Transfer students and sororities gave their sisters assistance on their programs FAMILY TIES. Tracy Foster had no problems adjusting because her sister also attended this school PLAYING CATCH UP. Because many of their classes were not accepted by the university, transfers often had to study harder than other students. FITTING IN. Vanessa Powell sought help from her AKA sisters to adjust. People 1 2 5 iilk Tlic Might of the Itlue and White I ()P BR ASS. The Marching Bi« n travelled across the country performing in parades. “Feel the might of the blue and white” was the slogan that incorporated the Marching Bison’s new attitude. Increased participation in events, travel, and performance of original compositions were some of the new undertakings of the 148 musicians and performers. Director Charles Bates and Assistant Director Richard Lee worked diligently to create an organization which challenged all other bands to take note. The fall semester proved to be busy and full of new endeavors. In September, the band was invited to Philadelphia to perform during the halftime of the Eagles versus New York Giants game. In October they traveled to Harlem. New York to participate in the African Day Parade. During November, the organization returned to the district to perform at Galludet College for the No Drugs For Us program. In addition, the group performed and helped promote spirit at each football game of the season. With such a busy schedule, keeping this group (one of the largest on campus), organized was a major objective for the band's leadership. Some of the keys to the band's success were cooperation. coordination, and working as a family unit. “We sometimes have problems but (they) are set aside when we have a performance. Each person realizes how important it is that we are at our best.” explained George Woods, a member of the trombone section. Practice made perfect, as Audrey Braxton of the flag section could attest. “We arc striving for excellence as it is the (University’s) tradition,” she stated. Linda James NOT JUST RECREATION.

Contrary to popular belief, classes arc not always the most important item on a student's agenda. Instead, other activities, such as working and participating in various organizations can take precedence over one’s courses of study. Therefore, scheduling classes to accommodate certain activities is not as easy as one might expect. For television tans like Cheryl Peters, watching soap operas ranks high on the list of daily activities. Cheryl, a public relations major stated. “I don't schedule any classes at or around 1:00 pm. I just have to see 'All My Children’.” Another student. Shaun Hill, did not schedule any classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. ”1 decided to work more hours during the week to take advantage of the opportunity. said the journalism major. Another reason for taking certain classes is to get professors who are highly recommended by other students. Since the GPA is an important number during and upon completion of one's education, students generally try' everything in their power to keep it as high as possible. There are also students who try to schedule classes with their friends. They are presented with the opportunity to socialize as well as study with friends. A common reason for scheduling classes later in the day is to be able to sleep late. Says Lisa Jones, an architecture major. I usually try not to have any classes before 10am so I can get more sleep, but I’m not always able to do so. Last semester I was forced to take a class at 8:10 am because it wasn’t offered at any other time.” Others do the complete opposite: they schedule classes early so they will have the latter part of the day to do other things. Whatever reason one may have for scheduling certain classes, what seems logical to one may be quite unusual to someone else. Robert Frelow Clay. Leonard Economic Clay.

In the District of Columbia icntal cars were cawl identified by the license plates which bore Rs' The wind blew through her hair as the sun beamed gently through the T-top of the sleek machine. White-walled spoke-rimmed tries hugged the curves as the speedometer slowly rose to a frightening speed. The built-in cassette player provided the perfect background music to compliment the spirited atmosphere. She appeared to be the perfect picture, donning designer sunglasses, and leather racing gloves as she cruised in her own ultimate driving machine. But. is it really her own machine? The license tags bore the familiar ”R” associated with rental cars. Students often rent cars for use during vacations. for urgent chores or for spontaneous weekend flings. Most local agencies required a minimum age of 25 but National Car Rental allowed students with a major credit card to rent their automobiles. Even though the company had stopped loaning cars to students last year because of deiiqucncy on the part of some student renters. National reversed this policy causing it to be the most popular car rental company in the area. Althugh most agencies charged higher fee to young renters, some companies offered lower rates on the weekends providing the opportunity for one to have access to a car for a nominal fee. So keep in mind that “ownership” of that sporty Twin Cam Corolla or that posh Maxima is just a credit card away — temporary ownership that is. Kathi Amille Earles Hamilton. Leslie German Hamilton.

If you were to ask any undergraduate student why he decided to attend college, you would probably be told, to meet the challenge of increased competition in the job market. If you were then to ask any graduate student why he decided to pursue a graduate degree, you would likely receive a similar answer. According to Jacqueline Lindsay, a first-year pharmacy student, In today's society you need more than an undergraduate degree to be competitive in the job market. Our graduate students are answenng the competition by diligently applying themselves to research. I enjoy research; I want to be on the frontier of new inventions. asserts Andre Cropper. a second-year electrical engineering graduate student. Andre further adds that he decided to attend graduate school because students who go out into the work world immediately after receiving their bachelor's degrees never really come back to graduate school. Lisa Smith, a first-year student in the Graduate School of Business, explains I decided to pursue my Master’s in Business degree because the corporate world is so competitive an MBA is vital for survival in business. Increased competition calls for an increase in contribution. and our graduate students arc meeting the challenge with advance degrees and innovative ideas. Let the competition beware!

The answering machine has grown to be a musl-havc item on campus. Ring!. . . Ring!. .. Ring’... Hello darling. This is Fernando. No! No’ Don't hang up. I am not here right now but I would like to hear from you' Please leave your name, number and a brief message after the beep and I will get back to you. And darling, you look MAAHVELOUS!! Answertng machines. For some they were a necessity. Others, saw them as a status symbol. Still others believed they were a nuisance. Senior John Harrisingh considered his machine a necessity. Tm the type of person who is out of the apartment a lot.” he explained. “I live far from campus and I'm involved in a lot of stuff and I hardly get home during the day.” Most owners of answering machines felt that the service was a much-appreciated convenience. although some users did not agree. Junior Tynise Edwards, who lived with three other people, said some of her friends thought they used their answering machine as a status symbol. “You get comments like. Tm afraid of y’all with an answering machine!' ” she said. But no matter what some people thought, a growing number of students bought them. Many people who had answering machines tried to inject their personality into the message they left for callers. Harrisingh had soft music playing under his message to show people that he is an easygoing guy.” Senior Roland “Buddy'' Lewis used creativity in his messages. Often times Lewis changed his message weekly using a rap imitating famous star’s voices to say he was not at home. Whatever the reason for owning one. answering machines were without question a growing fad on this campus. Krystal K. Quinn Tsoi-A-Fatt. Denise Pharmacy Tucker. Donna Nursing Tucker.

Robin The Cost of Being a Student For students like Frcdricka Whitfield, junk food is a pan of daily expenses Paying tuition is the main concern of parents when it comes to their children’s education. Little do they know that it’s only the beginning of a never-ending sea of price tags. A student’s survival is not only based on a academics, but also on the abundance of money. Probably the most costly aspect of attending this university is living in D.C. The city is a rather expensive place to live, and whether you live in a dormitory, apartment, or house, your rent will be quite high. The average dorm resident pays between $200 and $230 a month, while off-campus dwellers may spend anywhere from $200 to $400 per month. Once you've got a roof over your head, you must put food into your stomach. Food is the second most costly item on a student’s list of expenses. The meal plan offers two or three daily meals for those who prefer eating cafeteria-style. But many find it cheaper to cook for themselves, and are regularly seen carrying grocery bags to their residences. Fast food is popular for lunch and long lines arc a common sight at the hotdog and snack vendors on campus. However, this can eventually become quite expensive. Books and supplies can also be a major element of a student’s budget. The average person carry ing 15 credits may have to buy five or six books each semester. At $ 15 to $40 a piece, it's obvious why buying used books is a way of life for money-conscious students. Countless ballpoint pens, notebooks, and folders are also essential tools of the educational experience. Not all expenses incurred by students arc directly related to school. Fashions and hairstyles are constantly-changing and students find that keeping up with the trends can be costly. Once you’ve got your look together, you want to show it oft. There are plenty of campus parties or discos, concerts. and plays in the city for serious socializes. Admission to an average party costs $3. discos — $6. concerts — $ 15. and plays — S10 to $40. Heidi Boykin, a mechanical engineering major, stated “Clubs costs too much on the weekends. If 1 go at all. it’s only on ladies’ night or on a weeknight because it’s cheaper. Whether it’s spent on leisure or necessities, money plays a large role in the average students budget. Patricia Jones McClendon. E2ra McCloud. Michon McCrimmon, Charles MeFadden. Rodney McGee.

If you have ever wondered what channels campus mail went through, take heed. The university’s post office, located on the ground floor of the “A” building in Room G-12 performed the same tasks that off-campus post offices did. A student could purchase and cash U.S. Postal Money Orders there, register important packages, purchase stamps, and send certified letters. Because it operated like the city’s post offices, all of the services required a small fee. Postmaster Lawrence E. Malloy, an alumnus, worked for the U.S. Postmaster General before he assumed his current position. “The post office is an organization which performs more than just the traditional functions: it is an organization that transmits sad news that you want to hear and good news so that you can extend yourself.” A great deal of students, however, felt that their mail took too long to get to them. Paula Gunter, a 19 year old Physics major stated, “It’s efficient interdepartmentally but with students it isn’t good. I buy stamps and money orders there, but I use the U.S. mailboxes on campuses. Gioia Herring a 20 year old resident of Bethune Hall, stated. “My grade report is still going to the Quad (her previous residence). My registration materials arc not following me when I change dorms, and my regular mail takes a long time to get here. Not everyone, however, had problems with their mail. Courtenay Miller, a 21 year old resident of Cook Hall, commented. “I don't have any problems with my mail. I receive it consistently and promptly.” Despite a few drawbacks, the post office provided a needed service. Neither rain, sleet, or snow could slop the delivery of mail, no matter how long it took.

Valerie The Daily Commute The afternoon rush hour often creates long lines at the comer of Fourth Street and Howard Place. To most upperclassmen, getting on-campus housing was like try ing to find a needle in a haystack — almost impossible. Unless you were an athlete or knew people in high places, you would probably end up in an off-campus dorm. Living in one of these dorms meant having to find transportation to and from campus. The university’s administration accomodated these students by providing shuttle buses which were owned and operated by East Coast Parlor Tours, Inc. At first glance, the buses seemed to offer solutions to the transportation problem. However, students who rode the buses daily had varying opinions on the service. The most frequently heard complaints centered around the buses’ schedules. '‘There is a major problem on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.” stated Caroline McNcal. a junior who has ridden the Sutton bus for three years. Everyone is try ing to get to their 9:40 a.m. class. The 8:58 a.m. and 9:08 a.m. buses arrive at Sutton at the same time, and they leave at their scheduled times. People who come out early will bypass the first bus and get on the 9:08 bus simply because they don’t want to be that early for class. Then, when everyone else comes out to catch the 9:08 bus, it becomes too crowded.’’ McNcal explained. Overcrowded buses were another major problem. It was not uncommon to sec a bus filled to capacity. Sometimes students would block the front steps and door, creating a safety hazard and minimizing the driver’s view. Despite all of the problems related to the shuttle buses, they proved to be the cheapest form of transportation in the city. Students like Kimberly A. Staples, a senior and resident of Meridan Hill has no serious problems with the buses. She commented. The shuttle bus service (was) most convenient when they (were) on time, when the air conditioners worked, and when I was lucky enough to get a seat. Patricia Jones Sartm. Dcbora R Saunders.

David and Tisa Robinson shared a home as well as a A single adjective describes the majority of male fcmalc relationships on campus as. “unstable. But, this is not always the case. A small group of students do enjoy stable, long-term relationships throughout their college years — they arc married! Although singles tend to romanticize college marriages, the everyday realities of a relationship arc similar to those unmarried couples. Tony Marshall, a junior Computer Based Management Information Systems major from Washington, D.C.. studies and attends classes from 8 a m. until 3 p m., and then works from 4p.m. until midnight. The only time he really sees his wife, who is not a student, is on the weekends. He said, We don't spend much time around each other, but we constantly think about how wc can make each other's life easier.’ Tony added. “What is really important is that the time we do spend together is quality time.” Finding time together can be a major problem if both husband and wife arc in school, as arc Dave Davis, an architecture major, and his wife Lisa, an interior design major. Lisa claims that at the beginning of their marriage. “I found myself trying to find David during the day. Newly married and just starting school, the two had to adjust to being apart during the day. Lack of housing for married students and a limited social life can also be hurdles. If 1 have a problem, my friends say it's because I’m married”, Dave lamented. His male friends tease him about his social lifestyle, all in fun. of course. Having a spouse who is sensitive to the needs of his or her mate is a definite advantage of student marriages. “It’s a lot easier to come home and have someone to listen to my problems.’’ Tony said. My wife will read to me, and kick me when I fall asleep,” he added with a smile (in reference to doing his homework). “Wc arc able to help each other with our schoolwork. Dave agreed. Since we’re both in school, it’s great to have a partner that does not feel shut out.” he added. So. if you arc contemplating that walk down the aisle, think about the pros and cons of an early matrimony and make the decision that is best for you. Cheryl Craig Iferika. JoyC. Ingram. David A.

The Department of Athletics sponsored a women tennis team for the first time this year Sports 209 illi Improving Slowly But Sure y The plans were laid in 1984 The Architect had arrived. A multi-talented freshman class established themselves as the foundation. Then in 1985, the team began to take definite shape — and it looked like a winner. Although the Bison finished the season at 4-7, 0-4 in the MEAC conference. their record cannot be tossed aside lightly as a losing one. Several positive factors went into producing this season’s two game improvement over last season’s 2-8 record. The sophomore class came of age and the freshman additions stepped right into leadership roles, completely turning the football program around. The debut of freshman quarterback Lee DcBosc. who replaced the injured Leon Brown in the home opener against South Carolina State, was one of the key reasons our season improved,” according to Coach Willie Jeffries. DcBosc showed great poise throughout the season, completing 44 passes for 742 yards and six touchdowns, and rushing for two touchdowns, to spark the offense. Another key to the eruption of the offense was sophomore wide receiver Curtis Chappclle, a speedy and exciting member of the Miami Connection out of Southridge High. Chappclle returned a kick-off 100 yards for a touchdown against Bethune-Cookman, and came home to receive a 96 yard pass play from DeBose to break a Bison record established in 1973. The young offensive line, led by freshman Pat Boyd, opened up enough holes for Ronnie Lpps and Harvey Reed to rush for four and five touchdowns (403 and 640 yards), respectively. Epps played like a man with a mission against Norfolk State. 1 felt like the coach was going to give me the ball since I did all the work to get it JUST A FF.W MORF YARDS.

Record high crowds graced the stadium at all of the home games, reaching their peak when 20.000 fans witnessed the defeat of Morehouse at the last home game. The 1985 football season turned out to be exciting as well as fulfilling as Coach Jeffries, “the architect. accomplished his goal of building his team on a solid foundation with student athletes rather than just athletes.” With his dynamic young crew of freshmen and sophomores all returning, the football squad will be a force to reckon with in 198b.

The accomplishments of Coach William Moultrie, who has produced fifty-seven male and female All-Americans at this university, had finally reached the national forefront. The Athletic Congress of the U.S.A. named him national chairman of the Sprint Committee, just one of many achievements during his successful coaching career. Said Moultrie. “My objective is to do a competent ob in developing a high level of efficiency among our athletes and coaches so that we can compete in the world arena. He will be in charge of the 100. 200. and 400 meters sprints and relays. Coach Moultrie was also named sprint and relay coach for the Goodwill (James to Ik held in Moscow.

One of the reasons for his pleasant disposition was the commendable performance of the cross country teams.

What made those statistics so impressive was the fact that the athletes who had accomplished these feats were not “true” cross country runners; they were 400 and 800 meter runners.

Fortunately, the losing streak was short-lived as the team regrouped in mid-season to win eight straight games. The keys to the turnaround were defense and team chemistry. “We have played fairly well defensively and the offense has been improving.” explained Coach Williamson, an eleven year veteran as head coach. By mid-season, the team boasted a perfect record in the conference, with wins against South Carolina Slate (67-59) and North Carolina A T (67-59). Junior center Robert Mcllwainc was a team asset, providing strong scoring — 131 points, and solid rebounding throughout the season. He was subsequently named MEAC Player of the Week. Other important contributors were senior guard Jeff Williams. Junior guard Bill Stuart, and senior forward Mike Hampton. With excellent skills and an enthusiastic attitude, the team met the latter part of the season with victory in mind.

The opponent ungracefully lunged to return it but failed. The frustrated Navratilova lay defeated on the court as the audience roared with praise. I gently wiped the sweat from my brow and felt the passions of unyielding victory . Due to my newly found success. I decided that it would have been selfish not to contribute my talents to the University’s tennis team. After all. 1 had heard rumors that a women's team had recently been formed. The team's first match was against the University of the District of Columbia in which the ten woman team triumphed six to one; the only loss resulted from a doubles match. The purpose of the spring matches was to prepare the women for the regular fall season. Strenuous practices consisting of stretching, volley and serving drills, jogging, and weightlifting helped keep the women in top physical form. Team member Mignon McLcmore, conceded that being one of the first women on the tennis team had been a challenge which she met with energy and anticipation. Coach Larry Stricklcn had a great deal of confidence in the women's tennis team, noting that they were off to an excellent stan both mentally and physically. They were anchored by the outstanding ability of Pearl McLeod, a junior transfer student from Augustana College, and Heidi Linzon. a native from the District of Columbia. Overall, the outlook for the women’s tennis team was paved with much promise as the team attempted to build its future with practice, experience, and experienced coaching. The men’s tennis team was in a rebuilding stage, according to Coach Stricklcn. The loss of several players due to graduation made the team rely on the growth of its younger players. The team was one in two in dual matches and had received two fourth place ratings tournament. Their toughest opponents were Navy and Hampton, both to played during the regular fall season. Coach Stricklcn was optimistic when referring to men’s tennis team. He believed that their dedication and personal motivation would enable them to reach their potential. About the match with Navratilova — it was only a dream, one which had the possibility of being reality due to the addition of the women’s tennis team.

The Bootcrs went on to win five more games against such tough opponents as George Washington (2-1), Georgetown (2-0). and University of Delaware (6-1). The final record was 6-7-2.

They were off to one of the finest starts in previous years and were believed to be top contenders for the MEAC championship for the third consecutive year. The team was engineered by coach Sanya Tyler and assisted by Linda Spencer; each believed that the primary goal of 85-86 season was to expand beyond the expected MEAC championship and gain respect outside of the conference. This outside experience would allow them to acquire the necessary competitive skills to become a strong force in the NCAA tournament. In order for the ladies to establish themselves as the MEAC champions and continue into the NCAA championship. they would have had to rely on the leadership capabilities of Vanessa Graham. The 5'7 junior from Columbus. Georgia was voted the most valuable player for the 1985 MEAC championship and is expected to once again exercise her ball handling and outside shooting ability in the 1986 championship. Graham’s superior degree of talent was first noted alter she returned from an injury and led the team from its 3-11 record to a 10-5 turnaround in the following games. Another key player was Darlene Beale, the sophomore center from Brooklyn. New York. Beale finished the 1984-85 season with a total of 233 rebounds. Complimenting Beale’s rebounding ability was Vikki Kennedy, the 5'7 guard from Ft. Lauderdale. Florida, and Roslyn Bell, the 5'7 guard from High Springs. Florida, each were known for their consistency in performing up to their potential. The Bisonettes were led in defense by the tactics of Lynette Hunches, a 5'9 forward from Stanford. Connecticut, and Astini Hector, a 5'10 guard from Washington. D.C. who were known as defense specialists’’ according to Coach Tyler. New aspects of the team were its press plays which were geared to add power and strength to its defensive skills. Coach Tyler conceded that the primary factor which distinguished the team was its ability to play smart’’ basketball. The ladies were not only true masters of physical skills but they also possessed the mental instincts to conquer the most competent opponent.

Baschjll would not be played here for a while, the low temperatures and the wind would not permit it. Fall baseball had been completed and by all admission and observation. the team was productive. Since the fall was considered a tune-up for the spring, the 5-S record did not have too much significance. The purpose of this season was to get the new- players oriented into the system and veterans rcaeeustomed to playing. Senior Tracy Proctor, a veteran pitcher, summed up the season this way: Wc’rc young, hut good. In the beginning, wc were making physical errors, but once wc got mentally tough, the team came around There was a general feeling of understated confidence; everyone had at least one year of experience under their belts, a factor which worked in their favor. The team was built around reliable pitching. solid defense broke down, and power hitting. However, having not played for months tended to leave the players in less than top form. Said Proctor. “Sometimes our defense broke down, hut it was still a good onfield. “Since it was the preseason, better to make the mistakes when they would not hurt as much as in the regular season.

Likewise, judging their slow Championship for the third consecutive year? Certainly their overall record of 17-17 was no indication of extraordinary season.

She added that Coach Debnarn had been the key to their success. I (gave) her credit for sticking with us and being real patient with us.” McCollum said. The general sentiment of team members was that this team could aspire to greatness with their potential. Visions of NCAA tournaments danced in their heads. Coach Debnarn had all the ingredients and mixed them well. The MF.AC obviously believed she had something and named her Coach of the Year for the 3rd consecutive year in the conference. Defeating North Carolina A T for the MEAC Championship, placing second in the Villanova Tournament and compiling an 8-0 conference record was not a bad list of credits for one season's work. Unity, confidence, talent, and potential had made the possibilities endless. As a result, the Spikers looked forward to next year to produce another smash hit! Migon McLcmorc Al l SEASON LONG.

Weightlifting was next. More stretching, then the whirlpool. By the time morning workout was over, the rest of the world was awakened, just leaving breakfast and reading the paper. Honking horns, chiming yells and the chatter of students signaled that the campus was awake. He had thirty minutes left before his 9:00 AM class. Unlike most people, his prob- lem was not lack of sleep, but hunger. And unfortunately, lunch was not until noon. So he did what any sensible athlete would do. grab a snack. Fruit. Donuts. Candy. Finally, he got a hot meal which he wasted no time devouring. More classes. Dinner. A couple of video games, and a game of pool. Then a mad dash to his room to change before practice in fifteen minutes. Impatient horns sounded as rush hour traffic filled the streets. The number of people on campus began to dissipate. Soon the only noise to be heard would be the barking of instructions and commands by the coach, and of course the periodic shrill of his seemingly permanent mouth piece, his whistle. Gratefully, the evening breeze made practice a bit more tolerable.

The women's basketball team excelled as ME AC champions RUNNING RELAY. Year after year the women's irack team has represented the university positively. The Women’s Athletic Program If you enjoyed screams of excitement, action and drama, then sou were certainly aware that women's sports on campus were as intriguing as the men's. Female athletic teams consisted of basketball, swimming, tennis, track, and volleyball programs. Although the athletes on these teams were not yet fortunate enough to have their own dormitory'. they saw- campus support through scholarships and attendance at games and meets. Women's athletic programs were first introduced on campus in 1974 with the inception of the Lady Bison basketball team. Over the years the team has fared quite well, recently winning the MEAC Championship for the 1984 and 1985 seasons. Also in 1974 came the establishment of a volley ball team. The Bisoneltes also won the MEAC Championship last year, their first ever, and have won various tournaments. The track and cross country teams were just as strong and successful, faring well in several national meets, including the Milrose Games and Olympic Invitational. The sw imming and tennis teams were the most recently established programs. This season the swim team suffered a cutback on scholarships, which reduced the team to four members. However, these women were stronger than ever and finished their season on a victorious note. The tennis team was established this August, consisting of seven determined athletes. Although they only participated in one match, which they won, team members hoped to expand their schedule and set a precedent for future female tennis players. The athletic program for women was one of the largest university programs in the area. Student support and participation were steadily increasing, as more funds were allocated through scholarships. facilities, and uniforms. The swim team helped prove the adage on which the program has based itself on: Only the strong survive. Susan Jones Patricia Jones Spurn 235 AIL International Athletes One characteristic that successful student athletes had in common was discipline. International athletes required a double measure of discipline and endurance due to the overwhelming adjustments they had to make upon entering the United States and this University. Studies and practice could be quite a load for any athlete, but when one could not afford to call home very often or to go home during academic recesses, the load became much heavier to bear. “The first couple of years I was feeling lonely and homesick (during the Christmas break). The last couple of years l vc been going skiing, and that's really nice,” said John Nicolaisen. senior place kicker for the football team and a native of Norway. “But it would be nice to go home if I could.” he added. “We treat each other like brothers and sisters. related Sandra Franklin, a sophomore from Barbados and member of the track team. “When I first came here it was like I was already a pan of the team. They accepted me. and it didn't matter whether I was American or West Indian.” Friends were not restricted to teammates. however, as Franklin pointed out. “People on campus are understanding of our needs and go out of their way to help us adjust.” One of the most dilTicult adjustments for the international athlete was adapting to the weather, as Jon Nicolaisen attested to. “I miss the snow and the skiing. In D.C.. you can't ski. At home if it snows, you can put your skis on right outside the door and go skiing and it costs nothing!” The strength and endurance of the international athletes was evident by their performance on the field. But. it was their ability to adapt to life in a foreign country' that made their performances even more outstanding. Cheryl Craig INTERNATIONAL ATHLETE.

Founded on this campus in 1920, the sorority had Phi Beta Sigma as its brother organization. As a part of their dedication to serving others, the sisters promoted awareness of health issues through a campaign and poster drive to stop smoking in conjunction with the D.C. Lung Association. Tuberculosis, lung cancer, and leukemia were the subjects of an information drive co-sponsored with the Cancer Research Center. For the benefit of Howard Hospital patients a magazine drive was held by the sisters. Child safety and development was another main focus of the sorority. Their annual Career Futurity Program was held at Shaw Elementary School in the fall. The sisters also visited area Safeway stores in a campaign to promote child safety by distributing pamphlets.

Kenya, were some of the traditional Alpha Chapter service projects. Chapter member Tamara K. Marshall, who held the national office of Eastern Regional Representative, was instrumental in the chapter’s decision to donate the pledge money to the hospital. Recognizing the importance of people working for economic rebirth within the black community, Alpha Chapter hosted speakers from the Nation of Islam when they informed students about their P.O.W.E.R. program.

It was an unusual social affair called The Blockbuster.

Nearby, the auxiliary' organization of Omega Psi Phi. the “Que sweethearts, sported purple and gold while the Sigma Starlets mingled with men of Phi Beta Sigma. The Alpha Angels completed the picture as the auxiliary to the first Black Fraternity. Becoming familiar with the brothers, establishing relationships w ith other young ladies and organizing social and service programs were some of the reasons expressed for joining auxiliary organizations. The primary thrust of the sweetheart organizations was to serve as auxiliary groups to the fraternities. Sonya Lockett, a senior from Baton Rouge, stated that she became a Kappa Sweetheart during her freshman year as a mechanism to make new friends and further infiltrate myself within the school and community. She actively participated in such service projects as Halloween parties for patients at Children’s Hospital and a visit to the Roosevelt Senior Citizen’s Home. She admitted that these programs allowed her better understand the fraternity’s purpose. For Allison Miller, a senior from Philadelphia participating with the Omega Sweethearts has increased her awareness and perception of community affairs. Their projects included Christmas parties for hospitalized children, food preparation projects for Martha's Table and assistance in the plans for the Omega's founder's day. The Alpha Angels and the Sigma Starlets each functioned for the fraternities community involvement. As well as the fraternities the sororities also had auxiliary organiza- tions. The Delta Beaus. Zeta Betas and AKA Cavaliers, supported their respective sororities in their activities. Although they were not as prominent as the sweethearts, the male auxiliaries did play a role in furthering the founding objectives of the sororities. The social and service factor of the sweethearts organizations enabled them to become an integral part of their respective fraternities. They reaped the benefits of the social activities of the fraternities while increasing their participation in community affairs. Although the t-shirt wearing, partying and other social aspects of the auxiliaries were often apparent, these organizations supported and assisted the fraternities in fulfilling their goals.

No. this was not the Geneva Summit: it was a Panhcllenic Council meeting composed of representatives from each of the traditionally black social scrvicc fraternities and sororities on campus. The Panhcllenic Council has existed from as far back as the days of bobby socks and bouffant hairdos. Howard Ringer, president of the council and member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, coordinated the talents of the members in order to produce programming suitable for all of the organizations. These programs could take the form o! community service programs or social functions. The first major project of the year was an effort to petition for am-mendments to the Homecoming Greek Show's rules and regulations. The coun- cil was successful in requiring non-grcck a filiated judges, judging based on creativity, originality and percision, and the issuing of throphics to the first and second place w inners.

A program entitled Black Greeks was designed to let those not affliated to these organizations to gain some insight into the fraternity's and sorority s purposes and activities.

Excuse me, but do you know where I can find a copy ol the Hilltop?“ Chances are you heard these and other questions pertaining to the whereabouts of the Nations Largest Black Collegiate Student Run Newspaper every Friday. Usually on the reporting side of controversies, the Hilltop was in the nndst of one itself. Problems between Editor-in-Chief Carol Winn and fourteen of her staff members erupted in the fall. Reporters, editors and production workers walked out and were consequently fired by Winn causing a work stoppage The stoppage crippled the paper in some respects, but Winn continued to be optimistic. I’ve always said no one is indispensable.” Winn said. If someone leaves a job there is always someone who wants that job. In keeping with her goal to “provide factual, accurate and interesting news to students. Winn quickly began to rebuild her staff. During this time, former staff members called for the resignation of Winn and Managing Editor Lanita Pace. At the Hilltop Policy Board meeting that followed the walkout, former Sports Editor Jim Trotter said the reason for the walkout was because of GRAVE CONCERN An audience of concerned students listened intensely lo the protests against the editor of the school’s weekly periodical. the incompetence of Winn and Pace. Former Entertainment Editor. Gary Denny said the Hilltop is no longer a student newspaper because there are too many administrators on the policy board. The paper no longer serves the needs or concerns of the black student.” Despite the walkout, the Hilltop continued to publish virtually every Friday while still struggling with the old problems of lack of adequate facilities and production complications. But, with the installation of type setting equipment and two video display terminals in the Hilltop office. Winn said the production problems had bcx n brought under control. We cut cost,” Winn said, which has been a great help. Criticism of the Hilltop after the walkout was numerous. Donna Pettis, a broadcast production major, said “the Hilltop was the worst to date during her four year tenure. But Candccc Wilson, a junior in the College of Liberal Arts, said the news coverage of campus events was informative.

As with most student governments, it encountered its share of administrative problems throughout the years. However, this fall the predicament concerned, among other things, the ineligibility of the president, which resulted in his resignation and the subsequent change of several staff members. The constitution of HUSA required that President Emory Calhoun maintain a 2.0 grade point average. During the early stages of his term, it was revealed that Mr. Calhoun had not met this requirement. Said Byron Harris. Chairman of HUSA's Big Brothers and Sisters Program. Grade point average is one thing; leadership is another. Mr. Calhoun had and has ability to lead.” Other problems in the administration stemmed from bad publicity and ineffective communication between the executive board and the staff. According to Ona Alston. Programs Director, many staff members knew nothing of C’alhouns’s ineligibility until immediately before the subject became public news. Assistant Public Relations Director Vanita Thompson believed “the confusion going on in the HUSA office has made the staff stronger and more determined.” In agreeance was Chuck Onyeije, the Volunteer Coordinator, who felt that the staff tried to put its best foot forward due to negative press.” In the final analysis, the staff continued to try to work as diligently and professionally as before. Although the original team of President Calhoun and Vice President Bryant Moore was replaced by that of Moore as president and Paul Scott as vice president, the administration had the same objective - to serve the student body. Said Scott. Many people dwell on problems HUSA has had and do not remember what work (we) have done. Linda James Patricia Jones Mr. CALHOUN HAD THE ABILITY TO LEAD.

National Society of Black Engineers NSBh was dedicated to the realization of a better tomorrow through the development of intensive programs for increasing the participation of Black and other ethnic minorities in the fields of engineering and outside of the university community. These programs serve to strengthen relations with professionals. industry, and the Black Community. NSBE had its genesis in a National Conference planned and hosted by the Society of Black Engineers at Purdue University in April. 1975. Black engineers students from accredited engineering schools throughout the United States and Canada attended this event The University’s Chapter served the vehicle by and for which all member and organizational activities were conducted. The chapter conducted projects in the areas of pre-college student interaction. university academic support mechanisms, and career guidance programs. Among these activities were: High School Outreach Programs, job fairs, resume books, tutoring programs, awards banquets, and tcchnica' seminars.

Under the leadership of President Douglas Selby, the council took on a multitude of activities in eluding extensive fundraising activities. A Salute to Black Business, Business Week, and a raffle whose proceeds bought a color television for the student lounge. The council was guided by its motto “Success is not a goal. It's a result.” Graduate Student Assembly The Graduate Student Council (GSC) was composed of representatives elected by graduate students in their departments. Its primary goal was to function as the top policy-making body which governed the activities of all graduate students. Activities were geared towards enhancing the intellectual, social and professional growth of its members. This was reflected in such events as the Annual Graduate Student Research Day where students were given the opportunity to report on their research projects; seminars and workshops of a scholarly, professional or business nature; forums and symposiums; and social functions such as the Annual International Food Festival. The GSC also supported other student body activities. thus fostering a spirit of cooperation and fellowship. As the graduate arm of the student assembly, GSA had as its mission the unification of the graduate students population on an educational and social basis. The assembly, which was funded through an allocation of the student activity fee. was responsible for helping member organizations to fund their activities. This organization also conducted its own programs geared at undergraduates and other members of the community. Kappa Delta Pi An honor society in education. Kappa Delta Pi was chartered in 1954. Its motto was “knowledge, duty, and pow'cr,” qualities which were carried out through the organization’s recognition of outstanding contributions to education.

Arc there any cute ones'.’ another member said. Oh yes!. chorused the rest of the group. Well then, how about a rent-a-date fundraiser? the coordinator said. I don’t know ... doughnuts sell the best on campus.” someone answered For the Pep Squad, and other campus organizations, brainstorming sessions to think of fundraising ideas were common. Many of the ideas got off the ground. During the year. Douglass Hall, the School of business and Locke Hall were transformed into small eateries. Food ranging from doughnuts to beef patties to salads attempted to satisfy students' palates while also making money for the particular organization. But not all the money-making ventures were food related. Car washes, raffles and dating games also contributed. School of Business president Douglass Selby said he took fundraising seriously. The bottom line is it’s a necessity. Selby said. UCiS.A and HUS.A have been helpful (in terms of donations) but as far as being self-sufficient, fundraising is the only way to do it. The School of Business showed how self-sufficient they were by acquiring the rights to do all the vending during Homecoming. Those events combined with a raffle brought $2,300 in revenue. Considered primarily a moneymaking venture, fundraising also serves another purpose — it brings people together. Krystal Quinn tX)t ICIINUT SALE.

Organizations 303 I 1986 BISON YEARBOOK STAFF [ For many students, the ground floor of Blackburn was a place to hang out. meet friends, and cat lunch. However, a handful of dedicated students bypassed these types of activities each day to go to work in four small rooms in the back of the building — the Bison Yearbook office. Staff members could almost always be found doing the seemingly endless tasks necessary- to complete the book. Long nights and weekends were spent in the office during deadlines as the most serious socializes became workaholics. Staff members’ friends who stopped by (unaware of the work which lay ahead) were drafted to help out. Random shouts of everything from “Docs anyone know the girl’s name in this picture?” to “Where are my homecoming pictures?!’’ to Who wants to type some copy?” echoed throughout the office. Staff members harbored fears of being locked in the building overnight as they worked up to the last minute. When it came down to it. the book had to be completed, period. On the contrary, on a non-deadline day the office appeared to be a place where friends came to kill time between classes, watch (or at least try to) their favorite soaps, or hear the latest gossip. Despite Ednor-in-Chief Dcbbic-Annc Thompson’s frantic efforts to keep the office neat and spotless. Managing Editor Victor Harmon’s pep talks on tightening up.” and signs which read If You Don’t Belong In This Office. Get Out!. a relaxed attitude persisted. Although writers, photographers, layout staffers, and ad reps seemed to come and go too often, the section editors along with devoted assistants hung in there” and helped to produce a book which would make themselves as well as the entire university proud.

Hours of practice every day paid off for band members as they marched in the Homecoming Parade. As the academic year comes to a close, once again the time has come to breeze through three hundred and fifty-two pages of history and reflect on the occurrences of the past nine months. The traditional events which transpire every year like CHARTER DAY, OPENING CONVOCATION and COMMENCEMENT, the seemingly endless stream of PROJECTS AND PAPERS and the existence of DIFFICULT CLASSES likened this year to any other and this school to any other institution of higher learning.

Our desire to learn more than what was offered in the classroom was apparent in the vast student involvement in CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS. These diverse organizations ran the gamut from the Alabama Club to Women in Architecture. Of course our year could not be complete without unfavorable events to offset the good ones. Controversy, whether it was in the HUSA ADMINISTRATION or at THE HILLTOP, was an unavoidable part of these months.
