It marks the culmination of a season ' s worth of victories and losses, road trips and home games. It is a celebration of accomplishments, both on the field, court, and in the classroom, as well. So often, Chicago State University is mentioned in the newspapers, on television and the radio as doing an outstanding job in its Department of Intercollegiate Athlet- ics. But in actuality, it is our student athletes who are providing the effort in represent- ing the University in many of its fine accomplishments. This evening we pay tribute to our student athletes and their many hours of hard work in academics and athletics.

Alexander Vice President of Institutional Advancement James M. Games Dean of Student Development Dr. Christine Somervill is one of the newest deans at Chica- go State University. She was re- cently named the Dean of Stu- dent Development lost Febru- ary. Her job involves providing leadership for students through several programs such as the campus ministry, the health center student activities, the student support services, pro- ject fame upward bound, ca- reer planning and placement, and Freshmen Services. All programs are designed to provide students with the edu- cational experiences outside of the classroom. They ore also designed to develop other ca- pacities that are related to aca- demic function. Besides being a Dean Dr. So- mervill likes to utilize her time by being involved in various or- ganizations such as the Illinois Women Administration Orga- nization, the American Associ- ation of University Administra- tions, the society of College and University Planning and the American Association of Higher Education. Dr. Somervill is looking for- ward to a interesting and pro- ductive year. She wonts to im- prove the management of all student services, increase di- versity within the student de- velopment and strengthen and improve the career planning and placement services. Clinton Bristow, Jr. Dr. Clinton Bristow, Jr., dean of the College of Business and Administration, is very optimis- tic toward the students in the the Business School. The pro- fessionalism is a positiveness about what students wont to accomplish, they do this by set- ting goals for themselves as they plan to pursue those while taking into consideration the facts that skills are required to execute those goals efficiently. It also requires a certain amount of seriousness and commitment to quality, and that ' s what professionalism is. We ore interested in elevat- ing our standards even higher than they are because we feel that we should not be satisfied. Complacency leads to stagna- tion. Stagnation leads to entro- py. We ore not about the busi- ness of degenerating. We are Dean of the College of Business and Administration about the business of prosper- ing. In order to do that, we have to constantly review what our standards are and de- termine whether or not we are putting ourselves in a position to stay competitive. You con- stantly have to be improving yourself. In the College of Busi- ness, we are constantly seek- ing to improve ourselves and our students. Our faculty is very de- manding of our students but we are also very caring for them. Whenever our students have problems, our faculty takes time to discuss those problems with them. When- ever we can lend a helping hand, we ' re there to offer that helping hand, we ' re there to of- fer that helping hand. We like to be accessible, we like to be sensitive, we like to be con- cerned, and will sympathize and empathize. Individuals who are serious about helping them- selves and want to accomplish something, who wont to return great things to their families and their communities and be flag bearers for the College of Business and Administration and of Chicago State Universi- ty, our faculty are there to help them. We have been very success- ful in placing our students in jobs around the Chicago area. But we are constantly working to be even more successful with the placement of all our graduates. Hopefully, we can encour- age our students to pursue knowledge as far as they can possibly pursue it. To strive for nothing less than the top of the pinnacle. To not be satisfied with entry level positions but to go for the top. We want to run it. We want to be in a position to moke decisions, to make things happen for oursleves, our families, and our communi- ties. Chernoh M. Sesay Dr. Chernoh M. Sesay, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, manages his responsibilities with great enthusiasm. Being the dean of the largest college on campus, he sees to it that all students graduating from CSU have been exposed to an adequate amount of English, mathematics, science, history, and the humanities. We more or less lay the foundation for students to go on into the professional areas. The College of Arts and Sciences provides about 80 of the 1 20 cred- it hours required for students to take before graduation. It lays the basic foundation for the total de- velopment of the student because it is not limited to one subject area, stated Dr. Sesay. Dr. Sesay sincerely wants stu- dent ' s needs to be met. My facul- ty and I work very closely with stu- dents because they are our prima- ry concern. We try to devise the type of programs we think will be useful to them which is why we constantly review our curriculum. That is also how we keep up with times and developments in the fields of various occupations. We have a Pre-Law program in the Department of Economics and Political Science which sends an average of five students a year to various law schools across the country and some of those stu- dents are now practicing attor- neys. Last year, we established a Pre- Engineering program in coopera- tion with the University Illinois at Chicago and with the Illinois Insti- tute of Technology in which CSU Dean of The College of Arts and Science students are automatically ac- cepted into the graduate program at these schools after the success- ful completion of their pre-engi- neering studies here at CSU. Many graduates of our Radio and Television program have been employed at some of the major ra- dio and television studios in the na- tion. Some of them ore now pro- ducers. We have established relation- ships with Argonne National Labo- ratory OS well as with Fermi Labo- ratory to which science, math- ematics, and computer science students can go for summer em- ployment which in some cases have led to full employment. Those laboratories also help us in developing our science, computer science, and mathematics pro- grams at CSU. Every department in the College of Arts and Sciences provides in- ternships for its students with the purpose of integrating theory with practice and by serving as a means of obtaining employment for stu- dents who are nearing graduation. I would like to emphasize the importance of obtaining a very strong and well-rounded educa- tion for the future — it is extreme- ly important. Students should not come to Chicago State and think that they can automatically be- come medical doctors, accoun- tants, lawyers, managers, and businessmen. They first have to prepare themselves a very strong general education background. So that when you go out there (to the work force) you have a broader perspective on things. And also, 1 want to advise student very strongly to acquire strong writing skills. They are key to success. Take as many English, writing, and math courses as you can take even if they are not required of you. You will find them very benefi- cial to you. Take courses in histo- ry, in art, in music, in anything that will give you the type of cultural orientation that will prepare you for society. So that when you go into your chosen profession, you will be a fully prepared individual. Also, involve yourself on campus. Dean of Graduate Studies William J. Lowe William J. Lowe, dean of gra- duate studies at Chicago State University, has a job somewhat different from the other deans. His students pursue studies in the College of Arts and Sci- ences (headed by dean Cher- noh M. Sesoy) and the College of Education (headed by dean Barbara J. Kardos). They are ail concerned about the continuous success of CSU ' s graduate program but, Dean Lowe has special re- sponsibilities in the graduate area. These responsibilities range from getting enrollment information to students to re- viewing, implementing and en- forcing any of CSU ' s academic policies and regulations that apply to graduate program- ming. One of the great things about the graduate studies program here at CSU is seen in the support I get from the gra- duate faculty. They teach gra- duate courses; they take a spe- cial interest in what we do on the graduate level; they help me with committee work; they serve on our graduate council, and they tend to do on excel- lent job with their students in the classroom. I would like to encourage CSU students to think ahead to graduate study. People who go on for a masters degree are people who are interested in in- vesting in themselves. Not ev- erybody does it; not everybody is eligible. But for the good stu- dent who likes to learn, who likes to continue to build his or her own confidence, back- ground and knowledge, a mas- ters degree is on exciting thing to pursue. Barbara J. Kardos Our students learn to teach ef- fectively, stated Dr. Barbara J. Kardas, dean of the College of Education. But teaching is not al- ways easy to learn. Teaching is not an exact sci- ence. The teacher must apply his or her knowledge to the complex world of the classroom and make decisions that lead to improved student performance. Teaching will then lead to learning. In the College of Education, stu- dents (prospective teachers) are taught to become aware of the learner ' s present level of function- ing, the appropriate level of in- structional objectives and activi- ties for his or her level of aware- ness and style of learning, and the problems resulting from instruc- tional activities. This in turn, will point out the direction for remedi- ation when learning does not oc- cur. Students also learn that the teacher ' s behavior causes learn- ing and directs him to different areas in which he must become proficient. One of the important decisions to make in teaching is to decide upon an instructional objective; that is, what is to be learned? A number of earlier decisions must intervene during this process such as the teacher ' s familiarity with the content area and particularly his or her ability to determine what the learners already know about the control. The second dimension of a Dean of the College of Education learning task is i ts decisions about the levels of complexity; will the learner merely posses knowledge, understand or summarize it, apply it, analyze it, synthesize it with oth- er knowledge, or evaluate it? The synthesis of the two teach- ing decisions, what the student will learn? and, how he will learn it? constitutes the instructional objec- tive of a lesson. The determination of this objective in advance will help you decide at o later time whether or not you have been suc- cessful in changing the learner ' s behavior. Too often teachers start out with instructional techniques or strategies before they know what they are trying to teach or identify objective s before they analyze the individual abilities of the stu- dents. Planning objectives with- out first assessing the needs and abilities of the leaners is a risky pro- cedure that often leads to inappro- priate, irrelevant, or unnecessary teaching. Another major decision, as Kardas pointed out, is how will the teacher facilitate learning? Teachers differ greatly in their styles of teaching. These beha- viors involve degree of planning, amount of control of student be- haviors, method of presentation of material, types of grouping, and so forth. According to Dean Kardas, teachers must pay particular at- tention to the evaluation of learn- ing outcomes at the end of instruc- tion: Did the students learn any- thing from the instructional lesson? If teachers failed to devel- op any specific objectives at the beginning of the lesson he or she may be hard pressed to answer the question. When the unexpected does not occur, teachers must ask themselves: What went wrong? Were the objectives appropriate for the students? Was my teach- ing method appropriate for the ob- jectives? Should I teach all or part of the lesson? Should the class move to another topic? With this self-questioning technique, a teacher can properly evaluate and revise his or her teaching. Berlean M. Burris Dr. Berlean M. Burris, dean of the College of Nursing, is working very diligently to see to that the College of Nursing continues to progress as it has in recent years. Dr. Burris wel- comes the challenges inherent in helping to meet some of the needs of society by managing G program that prepares more nurses to provide care for the sick, injured, and handicapped. Chicago State University, as Dr. Burris pointed out, graduates the largest number of black nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in the state of Illinois. The nurses who graduate from CSU not only obtain their degrees in their practice. We try very hard to make sure that our students are competent and the reports that I get back Dean of The College of Nursing from the agencies indicate that they are indeed competent. Once you get a degree in nursing it doesn ' t mean a thing until you can pass the National Licensing Examination. But once you do pass it you be- come a registered nurse (RN) with a bachelors degree and stand an excellent chance of being hired right away. Our stu- dents must be able to meet that challenge when they leave here and that is a major chal- lenge for me and my faculty members. So far, we have been able to meet that challenge and, OS a matter of fact, in 1985, our students scored 100% on that examination, being the only baccalaureate program in the state of Illinois to have every one of their stu- dents walk out and have passed their exam. As far as internships and jobs are concerned, CSU ' s College of Nursing has students in ev- ery major health care institu- tion in the state of Illinois. With the current shortage nurses, institutions are calling me up and asking me to please send over my students over to work for them, stated Dr. Burris. She went on to explain that, she recently set up an internship program with V.A. Lakeside Hospital that is willing to pay junior-level nursing stu- dents to receive their clinical training there with the hopes that they will stay there after graduation. Every student who graduates has at least three job opportunities made available to them. When students graduate from our program, I want them to be able to perform their skills at least as well as the graduates of other universities, but a training program can only do so much, and that means that the student himself should see to it that he gets all they can get out of it. I recommend that students strive for excellence. It is the student ' s responsibility to spend the necessary time studying, going to the library and doing all the things neces- sary that prepare him for his profession. Dr. William Prigge, Dean of Library and Learning Re- sources, has been an adminis- tration at Chicago State Uni- versity for over 6 years. He was named acting Dean in January of 1982; and was then ap- pointed Dean in August of 1983. As Dean, his job involves be- ing responsible for the Library, Television and Audio Visual Center, The Academic Com- puters and the Learning Assis- tance Center. The Learning Assistance Center provides tu- toring for students who are ex- periencing difficulty in math and English. The Center helps the students reach the stan- Dean of Library Science and Learning Resources dards set by the university de- partments. He also provides leadership, sets policies develops goals and objectives. This will enable the library and Learning Resource Department to continue to strengthen and upgrade the collection of library materials not only to fit the university ' s academic program but the stu- dent ' s need as well. Besides us- ing the library for research, the library can be used for study and recreational reading. One of Dr. Prigge ' s most memorable moments as Dean was assisting in equipping the library with a computerized sys- tem which gives students ac- cess to 30 different libraries at various institutions of higher education in the state of Illinois. The library computer system (LCS) makes students accessi- ble to one of the world ' s largest libraries. Dr. Prigge ' s career in Audio visual did not began at Chicago State University. He has been in the Audio visual field for thir- ty-eight years. During this time, he has had the pleasure and experience of teaching at the University of Nebraska, Univer- sity of Virginia, University of Tennessee, University of Puer- to Rico, Arizona State Universi- ty and Eastern Illinois Universi- ty. Michelle Howard- Vital Dean of The Office of Continuing Education and Non-Traditional Programs is concentrating her efforts on expanding each of the several programs under her jurisdiction. From the Board of Governor ' s Degree Program to the CSU Extension Services Program. Dr. Howard-Vital ' s activities have managed to yield efficient and effective re- sults. The Office of continuing Education ' s most popular pro- gram is The Board of Gover- nor ' s degree program which consists of more than 500 stu- dents and is aimed at the stu- dent who is in the work force and who is trying to earn a de- gree simultaneously. Most of Dean of the Office of Continuing Education and Non-Traditional Programs the students in the Non-Tradi- tional degree programs already have good jobs. Usually they are over 21 years of age and what they are usually doing is coming back to school with the intention of upward mobility by earning a degree. We assess what they have learned from their work experience and credit that experience toward their degree, says Dr. How- ard-Vital. In addition to that program the Office offers the Individualized Curriculum Pro- gram. The program allows stu- dents to design their own ma- jors (particularly disciplines not offered at CSU). The University Without Walls program is designed so that students do not take tra- ditional classes, but students have learning agreements in which they gcither information by working with faculty. Those ore the three Non-Traditional Degree programs. In addition, there are non- credit on-campus classes for adults, teens and children called the Enrichment Pro- gram. Some of these programs ore: sewing and swimming. There are also training and de- velopment classes offered at various hospitals, companies and various public sector agen- cies. Also, there is the Exten- sion Services Program where the Office works as a producer for the Chicago Access Corpo- ration. College of Education Recreation Special Education Business Education Bilingual Biculture Education Early Childhood and Elementary Education Industrial Technology Industrial Arts Education Physical Education Health and Safety Secondary Education The College of Education is primarily concerned with preparing students for teaching. Much of the University ' s concern contin- ues to be teacher preparation, and a great number of students in each graduation class ore prepared to enter careers as preschool, elementary, junior high school or secondary teachers. Recognizing the importance of preparing the highest quality of teachers, the University views teacher education as a total institu- tional responsibility. To coordinate all relevant resources to the support of the teacher education program, the University has es- tablished a representative University Committee on Teacher Edu- cation. The Committee reviews and adjudicates all matters to pertaining to curricular change and revision, admission and reten- tion standards for teacher education, and policies governing teacher education. The recreation program pro- vides a course of study relating to community recreation, school recreation, youth serv- ing agencies, and therapeutic recreation. Students of recrea- tion ore prepared to plan, orga- nize and direct individual and group activities. The Bachelor of Science in Education degree in Business Education consists of three options: account- ing, business training and stenography. Completion of the secondary teaching program in business education qualifies graduates for the Chicago High School Certi- ficate Examination in accounting, business training Certificate. Students completing the accounting or stenography option are also qualified to teach busi- ness training. Though most of the students choose teaching as their initial career choice, management, accounting, secretarial training, or law offices. Bilingual Bicultural Education The Department of Curricu- lum and Instruction offers the Bachelor of Science in Educa- tion degree in Bilingual Bicul- tural Elementary Education. The program is designed to pre- pare effective teachers for limited English-speaking stu- dents from Spanish-speaking populations. It includes prep- aration in the philosophies, foundations, and methodolo- gies of both bilingual and ele- mentary education. Early Childhood and Elemen- tary Education The Department of Early Childhood and Elementary Education offers a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in Elementary Education. Stu- dents following the teacher preparation program may pre- pare to teach in kindergarten. Industrial Technology The Industrial Tech- nology program pre- pares students for posi- tions in industry and business. Through a combination of courses in business and admin- istration and vocational subjects, students are prepared to supervise and manage the co- ordination and utiliza- tion of materials and machines in producing and distributing indus- trial products. Students in the industrial tech- nology program can se- lect an area of special- ization. Industrial Arts Education Students in the Industri- al Arts Education program are prepared to teach oc- cupational subjects at the high school level. In addi- tion to a general educa- tion core, professional education courses and ba- sic laboratories, students can select to specialize in the area of crafts, draft- ing, electricity, graphics, manufacturing, power, and wood-working. Health and Safety The health and safety program provides a course of study relating to community health education, driver education, and safety edu- cation. Responding to the nation ' s growing emphasis on physical fitness, the health and safety program prepares students to teach health in elementary and high schools. Secondary Education A Bachelor of Science or Arts Degree in secon- dary education can be ob- tained through every de- partment at Chicago State University. This de- gree prepares students to teach at secondary schools in specific areas relating to their major. The Bachelor ' s degree also is capable of presenting new opportunities relating to the student ' s field of inter- est. Physical Education The program in Physical Education pro- vides a course of study in physical education including a specializa- tion in coaching. Stu- dents in this program take a series of courses related to team sports and physical activity. In addition, the physical education program in- cludes the scientific study of human physi- ology and anatomy and the muscular sys- tems of the body. Completion of the ele- mentary education program with a special- ization in physical edu- cation qualifies stu- dents for the Chicago Teacher of Physical Education certificate.

Career Opportunities The health care field is rapidly becoming a num- ber one employer in the United States; the de- mand for professional nurses currently exceeds the available supply. With an ever increasing scope of health core services, the need for professional nurses is expected not only to increase, but also to expand into many new and exciting specialties. Men and women in the nursing profession render service and help to people in many settings: in the community, giving home care and teaching peo- ple to stay well; in hospitals, convalescent homes, and rehabilitation center. College of Allied Health Allied Health Medical Records Administration Radiation Therapy Occupational Therapy Joseph Stevens, Dean Allied Health The College of Allied Health, established in 1 977, is committed to the preparation of competent allied health professionals who possess a sense of social, personal , and professional responsibility. The College ' s gra- duate will join some three million allied health professionals practicing throughout the nation on over two hundred different allied health occu- pations. Collectively, these professionals comprise approximately sixty- three percent of the nation ' s health care work force. They perform specialized functions in the delivery of health and medical care services which extend and complement the practice of physicians, dentists, and other primary health care professionals. rrr 1 t 1 ki7 m 1 - ■ ' VHSRhHI f . n - w Medical Record Administration Medical Record Administrators are responsible for the develop- ment, management, and mainte- nance of appropriate health re- cords. Such records include case histories of illnesses or injuries, re- ports on physical examinations, x- rays and laboratory tests, doctors ' orders and notes and nurses ' notes. The health record is an inte- gral part in the training of medical personnel, health care, research, in- surance claims, legal actions, eval- uation of treatment and medica- tions prescribed. The medical re- cord administrator utilizes the knowledge and skills related to management, law, statistics, infor- mation handling, and health care research. The profession offers its practitioners the option of working in an administrative capacity or in a specialized area of health care, documentation, retrieval of health care documentation and retrieval of health information. Radiation Therapy Technology The radiation therapy technologist is a vital member of the team of specialists who use radiation therapy to treat malig- nant disease, usually cancer.

Andre V. Shumpert Days Days are face wearing a smile, while nights, the countenance is quite grim; She looks for a knight, a hero, yet a ghastly fear that I am not him. In dreams, this mortal is dashing, handsome, indeed quite bold; Reality is much stronger than dreams, that thought makes body cold! There are days when happiness and joy is all the damsel brings; As though I were sit- ting on top of the world, or flying without wings.

Jenetta Bradley WINTER FALL I see the silence of winter gently gliding down the bare symphony of trees. In a graceful dance the snow flakes fall peacefully upon the rough, cold, sleeping ground. The smooth silence of space hides beneath the ice massive winter dust. The wild burning wind sings its freezing blow through the passive falling snow. Life is at a stop. In a static movement of peace it sits patiently until the storm overblows furthermore. Jose El D. Cheyo Leaves do fall Imagine a tree full of life with its branches filled with leaves of green. Feel the sway of a gentle breeze, smell the freshness of the morning air. After the tree had its season, it loses its green. The leaves turn in a array of colors . . . of orange and red. Orange is for the hope that lies for the next season. Red is for the anger that it is time to go. All but the tree will stand tall with its branches bare. All my troubles of orange and red have gone. But they will be back and the cycle will repeat itself. No, I ' m not angry! I ' m still alive and that ' s what counts. I ' m healthy and with my love, I will furnis h the color of green. And with a bit of hope it will flourish and the flowers will grow. but always remember leaves do fall. Irma Villalpando encement Dr. Alvin F.

Sports The Strive for Excellence! Start of a New Tradition Tommy Sultts is In his first season as head basketball coach at Chicago State University, after a six year stint as head coach at Rice University In Houston, Texas. During his fourteen years of coaching basketball on the collegiate level, in- cluding six years as head coach at Rice, Suitts ' basketball programs have oil shared the same qualities: the players work hard on the court and In the class- room, and they win with class and integ- rity. When we began our search for a new basketball coach, we were looking for a person who could win more than basketball games, said Chicago State University President George E. Ayers, at a press conference announcing Sultts ' appointment. We were looking for a person who would bring Integrity and re- spect to our program. We were looking for a coach who genuinely cared about academics, and the best Interests of his players. I know we have found these qualities In Tommy Suitts. As a college coach, Sultts has been associated with teams that have accumulated a composite won-loss record of 208-173, for winning percentage of .546. Among numerous accomplishments as a coach, Sultts averaged more wins per season during his tenure c Rice than any coach since 1959. More importantly, Sultts saw 16 of 17 players at Rice earn their degrees. His 1 983-84 team won the first two post-season games in Rice University history, during the Southwest Conference Tournament. Aftf defeating Texas Christian and Texas Tech, the Owls lost, 53-50, to eventual NCAA Runner-up, the University of Houston, in the SWC si mifinals. During the 1981-82 basketball campaign, Suitts led Rice to the Rainbow Classic Championship, defeating fourth-ranke University of San Francisco In the semifinals, before upending 1 8th ranked North Carolina State in the Championship game. Rice ' s 1 5 vii tones that year were the most wins by a Rice team since 1964. Prior to assuming duties as head coach, Suitts served as an assistant coach at Rice under Mike Schuler, lost year ' s NBA Coach of th Year from the Portland Trailblazers. Before going to Rice, Suitts was an assistant coach and primary recruiter at the University of Nort Alabama. During his four years at North Alabama, the Lions recorded on impressive 82-3 1 (.726) slate, and claimed the 1 979 NCAA Div slon II National Championship. Suitts ' recruiting classes at North Alabama reached the NCAA Division Final Four three out of four year and set the school record for victories (24) in 1977.

Even though the Cougars started the 1987 Basketball season with a new coach, they were still locking in some significant areas. They were forced to play without the aid of eight lettermen who played significant roles during the previous season. The team was composed of several newcomers and five players who had limited playing experience. The Cougars were then forced to play nine consecutive rood games, but still they continued to strive. The cougars went into battle against 13 teams that made post-season play. The Cougars outstanding players for the 1 987-88 Basketball Season were seniors Stanley Jones ( 1 4.0 points per games and 5.8 rebounds), Laurent Crawford (13.3 P.P.G. and 6.8 REB), and Kent Terrell (1 1.2 P.P.G. and 3.0 Assists.).

Thus, forcing the CSU volleyball team to go out into the U.S. Volleyball Association circuits, and recruit David Sullivan to be their head coach. I met several members of the volleyball team at various matches during the U.S.B.V.A. season, said Sullivan. We became friends, and when the girls told me about their coaching situation, I became very interested in Chicago State. I am very thankful to have the opportunity to coach at the collegiate level, and look forward to working toward building a successful program. Sullivan is a 1 968 graduate of Carl Sandburg High School, where he lettered for four years in baseball, and two years in basketball and football. Upon graduation from high school, Sullivan attended Mo- raine Valley Community College where he earned over 100 credit hours toward a degree in computer programming. Sullivan has played volleyball for the past five years in the U.S. Volleyball Association. The past four years, he has competed for the Home Run Inn team. The first hear he played for the Home Run Inn, the club won the championship in the ' B ' division. Last season, the team finished in second place in the tougher ' Low A ' division. In 1985, Sullivan organized coached Connolly ' s , a women ' s ' A ' team that current team member, Maureen Deppert, played for during the off season.

He knows that he must get this point to bring his team a victory. He looks at his coach and then his teammates. He puts his head down and then looks at his opponents. He tosses the ball into the air and swings with all his might. The ball goes to the opponents ' corner and he misses, giving him and the team the victory of the season. The Chicago State men ' s tennis team had a very exciting season this year. Under the direction of Coach Lonnie Wooden, the team had a very interesting year. This is Coach Wooden ' s second year as head coach of the men ' s team. He has had the opportunity to work with Chicago State ' s finest tennis players. Claudio Alleyne is one of those fine players. He held the team record for the 1 988 season at 6-2 for the men ' s singles ' competition. Alleyne and teammate Ron Williams also held the team record for men ' s doubles ' competition at 3-0. These two players are just two of a very fine team. CAMPUS LIFE ACTIVITIES r Fresh Start I My Freshman and transfer students receive help in their first minutes at Chicago State.

Take care of business whether school, work, or a date. Repetition is what I really hate. Studying is what I always leave out. It is most important their is no doubt. My family and friends also need time. if I can ' t talk to them, is this a crime? Between Working, classes, and finding time to study. Does not talking, being grouchy not listening make people not love me? Once I get home from a hard hard day. Nothing gets easier, nothing I soy. Cause once I open the door, I catch Hail! Go to the space saver check my mail. A problem, a bill, it never fails! My mom wants money to make things worse. Should I study? No sleeping comes first. Sleeping? Yes. Resting?

Office of Public Affairs Lola Allums Shawn Ahern Greg Knox Tempo Freshmen Services Laura Harris Steven P. Smith Gabriel Montoya Due to circumstances beyond our control, the 1 988 yearbook staff went through many staff changes and other unforeseen obstacles. The staff like to extend their appreciation to those who started, but could not stay to complete the yearbook with us. Thank you Kenneth D. Bennett, Verna J. Thomas, Irma Villialpando, Eddie Tang, and any other staff that is not name.

Carlton; Writer Typist Andre Shumper; Writer Nicole Cody; Writer Typist (Not Pictured) Emblem Yearbook is o pictorial account and representation of Chicago State University stu- dents ' activities and experiences during the past year. Staff and other significant persons who contributed and assisted in putting together this vital picture of your many activities and events during the past year were faced with many con- cerns relative to the content and the quality of the yearbook. Students whose pictures are published in the yearbook may not be aware or presently realize the significance of having such a publication as a souvenir; but let us imagine a few years from now that one of your classmates becomes the president of the United States, becomes the mayor of a major city or perhaps invents some- thing that can significantly effect our lives. Would it not be a source of pride and joy to you to have this yearbook in your possession? Far to often, college and university alumnus forget the faculty and staff who help to create the learning environment that helped them to want to suc- ceed. However, should you become the recipi- ent of your class yearbook, you will always have at your fingertips the memories that can seemly be alive. Dream as you may. You should do what this yearbook is doing. Contribute to your University, yo ur fellow man and your communi- ty- Arthur L. Stephens Advisor Life is a series of challenges, and the 1988 edition of Emblem prove to be an enormous challenge for it ' s staff. Our staff, limited in per- sonal, but very dedicated, confronted every challenge that headed our path. We are a group of individuals with one common goal, to pro- duce a yearbook that would make all of Chica- go State University proud. The countless hours needed for this task nev- er enter our minds as we diligently worked to- wards our goal. The disagreements and the de- parting of the staff members could not stop the job we knew we had to complete. We perse- vered through it all. Even though, it seemed like at times it was not worth it. Those who made it deserve special thanks. I would personally like to thank Martha Vin- centy and Veronica Crayton for their many ex- tra hours and creative imput needed to com- plete the ' 88 edition of Emblem. I truly appreci- ate all of the sacrifices that were made by them. I would also like to thank Arthur L. Stephens, our adviser, for his faith in us. I hope you enjoy your edition of Emblem. Our staff now, has finally conquered all the chal- lenges placed before us. Thanks to all, Lawrence McAllister Editor-in-Chief 9
