Tradition has its virtues — mostly romantic; beliefs, customs, legends — handed down from generation to generation. Yet, tradition has a strange way of stalling in time, stagnating as if bound to a treadmill, moving nowhere in the time continuum. We live in a vast, rapidly changing world now. If we are to keep positive pace we must be open to change. EXPLORATION — 84, then, perched on the final frontier , seeks to go boldly where no man has gone before for we are all star children, wanderers in the infinite cosmos, interstellar travelers on the starship Earth , seeking and searching for meaning and destiny, moving out beyond the traditional boundaries, beyond the solar densities of outer space, past super novas, binaries, and metaphysical galaxies — out into deep space. Come! Ride with us aboard EXPLORATION — 84 as we seek, discover, and forge out new horizons! xe v v V fc Life at Shaw University is a unique experience, in many instances an experience that students will treasure for a lifetime. But then, college life is like that — ao experience. At Shaw we learn, work, and play together and we experience success, sometimes failures, sometimes sorrow, happiness and frustration, but we all work together for common goals. Yet, adjusting to college life can be, at first, midly upsetting. Attempting to grow and maturate we find small comfort, initially, away from home. There are no more home-cooked meals, the warm glow from a comfortable fireplace, mom to tell you no or yes and dad to ask about the car. Campus life can be nerve-wracking at times: classes to meet, tests to pass, institutional meals, timetables, and etc., etc., etc. We adjust, however, because we have to make decisions, decisions that will affect our lives, and we grow up fast. We make many friends also and they become a part of our lives, and we work, play, study and grow towards the future, exploring the meaning of life. Computers, video games! Preppy and New Wave! Terms we have come to associate with the 1980s. We have advanced tremendously over the last 30 years, ad- vanced so much that it raises many questions. Our cities are rapidly becoming concrete mountains towering over us like stolid giants. To perceptive people this may create much anxiety and tension about what is to come. But what is to come? Some may say the end of the world — prematurely. Some say machines may take over. We have already entered the Orwellian world of 1984 and, per- haps, Big Brothers . Society is under the constant threat of totalitarianism, a computerized technocracy and may- be even a sexless and sterile metropolis as George Orwell predicted. All that we created, monuments of a great civilization, can be destroyed by the push of a button and the hands of political fanatics. Is this our future? It need not be if those of us who are planning our future become determined to play a role in its destiny. Or schools are producing brilliant young minds capable of altering des- tiny. In this sense we must grasp the moment of opportu- nity and hold on to the life-force of learning and produc- tivity, strive for excellence and change. At Shaw Univer- sity we must continue to take advantage of what it offers. We must extract and siphon its knowledge with a raven- ous appetite and curious thirst. Shaw University — pro- ducing pathways of excellence for the future! I L ' MI ■ ™ TOGETHERNESS People come and people go; forming fibers of our lives, friends, aquaintances, strangers, each touching us in special ways. Shaw is not only an institution of higher learning but a gathering of many people from all over the country. Togetherness radiates throughout Shaw ' s campus. Together we climb to reach our goals that we have set. Along the way we see each other through the rough times. We smile to let each other know that all is not lost and that each day there is a new beginning . . . 1, ' - - i Raleigh, Namesake of Sir Walter Raleigh. City of diversification. Amalgamation of bursting colors, spatial elegance and free-flowing architecture. Raleigh. Cultural kaleidoscope. Cathedral of collegiate eminence and educational complexes. State capitol and home of SHAW UNIVERSITY; progenitor of scholars and leaders, catalyst of thought and logic, bastion of excellence and builder of men and women — leaders of the future and explorers in time. SHAW UNIVERSITY - where people set no limit on the skies for EXPLORATION means growth, expansion and intellectual curiosity. Shaw University is a home-away-from-home for its students, an intellectual haven that nurtures students to intellectual maturity and considers every individual as a unique entity worthy of receiving the best it has to offer. Shaw is family- oriented, a place where people know one another. Shaw is a love, like a little itch that you can ' t scratch, and so it becomes an indelible part of one, lingering on into future generations. And so, the future is Shaw University building a better place for tomorrow for a better world — setting no limits on the skies, always EXPLORING. taBSHmWBWMMMMMIIMMMI I ?y - ' • f t - .kT ' W ii- -  - ■ rfn DC SEff kl I ' - - 1 r ■1 - t SJb - m - V| t 1 M - fc -, T . :- - - VS 0 ■p? - r- - ; rS £ - 41i BE?- a k S .ffWk ft.

Dedication The Yearbook Staff each year salutes a faculty or staff member in recognition of outstanding achievement and dedication to service in advancing the cause of Shaw University. This year, the Shaw University Yearbook Staff respectfully salutes Dr. Urabi S. Mustafa. Born on the Western Bank of Jordan and now a naturalized United States citizen. Dr. Mustafa came to this country as a student in September, 1952 and has remained except for brief trips to Canada, Europe and the Middle East. Since its founding in 1865, Shaw University has served as mother institution for several hundred international students, primarily from Africa and including the honorable Angie Brooks of Liberia who, after graduating from Shaw, became Assistant Attorney General of Liberia and subsequently the first woman president of the United Nations General Assembly. Thus, when Dr Mustafa came to Shaw in 1966, he found a University administration that was readily supportive of his efforts to strengthen and expand the international dimension of the University ' s academic programs. Dr Mustafa prepared himself well for his role as a catalyst in developing Shaw ' s International Studies Program. Awarded the Bachelor of Science degree from Roosevelt University, Chicago, Illinois in 1953, he continued his formal training at American University in Washington, D.C. where he received both the Master of Arts in International Relations and the Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations and Organization, as well as diplomas in United States Foreign Policy and Diplomacy. This training and his personal experiences on the international scene have combined to give him the expertise required to develop a strong international studies program at Shaw. Named Director of International Studies in 1966, within two years Dr. Mustafa organized and directed a group of seventeen Shaw students and faculty members on a study tour of the Middle East, visiting such countries as the United Arab Republic, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel. Always mindful of importance of developing and expanding and expanding mutual understanding of the cultures of foreign nations, he has continued such study tour programs, primarily for Shaw students and faculty members, but also for personnel from other colleges and universities in the Research Triangle area, including Duke University, Saint Augustines College, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University and other institutions of higher education. Under the administration of our current President, Dr. Stanley H. Smith, and with his strong support and encouragemerit, the International Studies Center was elevated to academic divisional status in 1980. In the Center, special emphasis is placed on Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East. The International Studies Center and the University ' s over all academic programs were further enhanced when the University received a grant of one million dollars for the construction of the Shaw University International Studies Center Building, dedicated in August, 1983. With the cost of construction at about $850,000 this marked the first time in the history of the University that a newly constructed building was fully paid for on completion, coordinated through the efforts of Dr. Mustafa, Dr. Stanley H. Smith, President and Dr. Thomas E. Kee, Vice President for University Relations. Because of his cooperative and energetic spirit of service, his untiring efforts to promote the welfare of Shaw University and its students, and as an expression of our respect and appreciation, the Shaw University Yearbook Staff is proud to dedicate the EXPLORATION ' 84 in honor of Dr. Urabi S. Mustafa. «i@g Dr. Stanley H. Smith President ■j sssmmmssa President ' s Message To The Class of 1984: This year ' s production of EXPLORATION 84 is, indeed, symbolic of the continuing and continued growth and development of this venerable and illustrious institution of Higher Education, founded in 1865. This year witnesses the highest enrollment of students in the history of Shaw University with more than 1900 students and one of the highest enrollments of students from the State of North Carolina. This is, therefore, testimony to the concern for and dedication on the part of the Board of Trustees, administration, faculty and staff, to the high quality of the educational program of Shaw University. As a consequence, the accreditation of Shaw University has just recently been reaffirmed by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Shaw has, therefore, been given the green light to continue to offer a quality liberal education program for the world of work and its educational commitment of taking students where they are and moving them to an exit point of excellence in performance with a mastery of the basic academic skills structured to meet the needs of meaningful career goals. It is our sincere hope that the faces, scenes and activities that are depicted in this Yearbook will continue to augur well for the future of the graduates of Shaw University and will add to the great and significant contributions which past graduates have made to the American and World Societies. I am, therefore, proud to be associated with this issue of the EXPLORATION 84 Yearbook. Stanley H.

' •-. $ vi 1 !T S - - The International Studies Program was established in 1966. A basic principle of the program is that communications is the tool by which faculty, students and staff seek greater knowledge about international realities. The program offers a B.A. degree in International Relations. From its inception the International Studies Program has had the central objective of internationalizing the thinking of students and giving them the opportunity to learn more about other issues of the world, especially those relevant to issues and conditions of this country. Emphasis is given to Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Islamic Studies. Emphasis is given to issues relevant to the United States, and mainly what relates to Africa, the Middle East the Caribbean, and Islamic Studies. In many cases and for the same before-mentioned goals, symposiums and seminars are held from time to time. The building which houses the International and Islamic Studies Center was completed August, 1983, through a grant of one million dollars, from His Majesty, the late King Khalid Al-Saud. The Saudi grant was through the Al-Rabitah Al-Islamiyah and we are grateful for the effort of our gracious Saudi friends — official and non-officials. Indeed, this Center is not only a credit to Shaw, but to the community as a whole. About six hundred (600) international students are presently enrolled at Shaw University. 35 mssm Time  , n g rtiMWiMlMH WSHA WSHA-FM — a very present spirit in the triangle area — and points beyond. The eighth wonder of Shaw University, reaching out on invisible beams and touching peoples ' lives and souls, radiating starburst energy, illuminating mind-bending- electric-arc sounds on reticulate air waves. WSHA-FM is gone — stereo now — and pushing 25,000 watts of potent power, covering a radius of 70 miles with the best sound around. Shaw University ' s radio-television-film area has grown over the years, its radio station becoming number one in the area. Its staff is a tightly-knit unit of professional staff and students who muster up tremendous energy, talent and imagination. The image of Shaw is manifested through WSHA-FM in a positive manner, with consciousness, style and flair. WSHA — reaching out; touching, feeling — EXPLORING. Lift Every Voice And Sing LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberties; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the hope that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us, Facing the rising sun of our new day begun Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod. Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not out weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears have been watered. We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till new we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

As one of the most significant private universities in the South, Shaw has provided generations of African and Afro-American students with an education of the highest quality. The rich body of papers and records documenting Shaw ' s history ampli- fies and illuminates the higher educational ex- perience of black Americans from Shaw ' s ex- tremely modest beginnings during Post-War and Reconstruction decades to the present. The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded Shaw a grant of $34,176 to facilitate the arrangement and description of the holdings of the Shaw University Archives. The goals of the project are threefold: To survey, arrange, de- scribe, and make accessible a rich body of docu- mentation illuminating the black higher educa- tion experience in the South in general and at Shaw University in particular; To provide the initial framework for establishing an ongoing archival program at Shaw University that would conform to commonly accepted professional ar- chival practices, and; To develop a model reposi- tory which be used as a point of reference by other historically black colleges and universities with traditions and circumstances similar to Shaw ' s that wish to initiate programs or to im- prove existing ones. a e C dk i %  •,« $ a . jtll ■ 1 2 i $M 8 « c 1 As one of the most significant private universities in the South, Shaw has provided generations of African and Afro- American students with an education of the highest quality.
