During 1985-86 Dreams Were Fulfilled For Grambling State University 1985-86 arked a year in which Tigers saw the fulfill- ent of many of their dreams. It was the first year that the world came to- ether to commemorate the birth of one of its reatest dreamers—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We witnessed President Joseph B. John- n’s 10-point plan for a better Grambling, as utlined in his inaugural speech, come to its uition. The year also saw Eddie G. Robinson ecome the winningest coach in the history of ollege football. And yet we did not rest on our laurels, but ather continued to strive for excellence in all reas of endeavor. We laughed, cried, pondered and sighed, but bove all we dreamt. We dreamt of ourselves is better individuals, of a better Grambling, nd ultimately a better world. This annual is the compilation of our hopes, spirations and dreams; those fulfilled and hose yet unfulfilled.

One of the most exciting developments occurred in the Division of Graduate Studies where the doctorate in Developmental Education became a reality. GSU is the first school in the nation to offer such a degree. Once again the university experienced record enroll- ments in both the fall and spring semesters as the population neared the 5,000 mark. Construction projects covered the campus. Just com- pleted is a the A.C. Lewis Memorial Library Annex. A Nursing School facility and computer science structure are also in the works. In the living areas, Jew- ett reopened in the fall of 1985 and boasts ‘‘the best lounge’’ on campus. Currently Wheatly Hall is undergoing complete renovation. The 1985-86 school year was certainly a great one and the coming year appears to be another record- breaker. 48 Colleges Gramblinites celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King dr. with a candlelight ceremony.

Of this number, 250 are studying in pre-nursing courses while 50 are in the professional program. In August of 1984 the school began implementing the professional segment of the curriculum and the first class of nursing students should graduate in May of 1987. History was made Sept. 7, 1985, when the school held its first capping ceremony in the Black and Gold Room. Betty E. Smith, RN Ph.D., capped the junior level students. ‘The Gramblinites received a cap and black stripe and will receive a gold stripe at their senior level and another black stripe upon graduation. A second such ceremony was also conducted during the spring of ’86. With a growing enrollment and plans for a new building, the future of the GSU Nursing School looks extremely bright. As the collegiate nursing programs began to proliferate during the sixties, Grambling College, realizing the needs for specialized professional preparation for nurses, established a pre-nursing program. This pre-nursing program was developed to be consistent with curricular patterns, which existed at Northeast Louisiana University and Northwestern. In the early seventies, the foresightness and consciousness of the leadership at GC, resulted in the establishment of a consortium with Northwestern. The coalition was to enable the pre-nursing students to complete the first two years at GSU and then to transfer to Northwestern for the professional nursing program. However, it was found that very few students were able to make the transition. The major impetus for the establishment of a GSU School of Nursing was the consent decree, which was settled in 1981. By late 1983 Grambling had hired a dean and several faculty members for its newest school. Approval for the new area was given March 23, 1984, by the State Board of Nurse Examiners, April 26th and 27th by the Louisiana State Board of Trustees, and May 24th and 25th by the Board of Regents. The School of Nursing offers clinical, didactic and seminar instruction in its professional program. It’s approved by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing. Admission is based upon the availability of clinical sites and faculty. Students listen to President Johnson’s delivery. These students run a test at Lincoln General Hospital. .

LEWIS MEMORIAL LIBRARY Library Takes On New Appearance The official opening of a new $2.7 million wing headlined events at the A.C. Lewis Memorial Library during 1985-86. In addition to completion of the 2,600 sq. ft. facility, the re- source center also acquired over 5,000 new books, installed a sophisticated magazine index system and _ initiated LEXIS (Library Express Information Service). The new addition consists of a basement and first and second floors. Between five to six thousand books were added to the li- brary’s already extensive collection last year. Also, the facility subscribes to 1,238 periodicals with over 60 new magazines having been added in the past two years. One of the most recent acquisitions is the library’s magazine index, which provides cover-to-cover indexing of more than 400 periodicals. It’s located in the reference room. Another state-of-the-art ‘‘newcomer” is LEXIS, an on-line re- trieval service which offers a wide range of bibliographic and statistical data bases. Five copiers are now available in the library since three Xe- rox 1045 Marathon copiers were added to the center’s inven- tory last fall. Personnel at A.C. Lewis realize special attention should be afforded students during certain times of the semester. This is especially true during final examinations, so library hours were extended during fall and spring finals from 10 to 12 p.m. The facility also opened its doors during the Mardi Gras holidays. Workshops are often conducted. During 1985-86 workshops involved the library staff and faculty, microcomputer software evaluation, acquisition and MRDF format cataloging, retrospective conversion, tape processing and inservice training for paraprofessionals support staff and student assistants. Special occasions such as Afro-American History Month and National Library Week were also observed. A series of mini-clinics on documents, special references, microprint area resources, card catalogues and indexes and special references were also held. The library is also proud of its extensive microfiche and mi- crofilm collections. This past year two new reader-printers were acquired for this area. : New copiers were installed. Microfiche files are available. Over 5,000 new books were received last year. Cofeges 63 5 ; ks ¥ Athletes and guests line up for a delicious meal during spring sports banquet. Class is over.

Following a salute to the queens of yesteryear, Sigma Alpha lota’s Ellen Smiley sang a superlative rendition of ‘‘Insepara- ble.”” An enthusiastic crowd then reviewed the procession of or- ganizational queens and watched the Orchesis perform a mov- ing number. Following the presentation of class torchbearers and a vocal tribute (“‘Lady’’) by Rufus Matthews, President Johnson crowned Latonia. One of the more moving performances of the coronation came after the royal promenade. That’s when Latonia’s brother, Robert L. Morrison II, sang a special vocal tribute enti- tled, ““You Gave Me Love.”’ The Opelousas beauty couldn’t hold back the tears. Master and mistresses of ceremonies at work.

Jones. As in past years, the event was initiat- ed by a “‘flower-placing’’ ceremony at the Charles P. Adams bust. Immediately following the opening event, a reception was held in Lee Hall, honoring Dr. Mildred Gallot, author of “‘A History of Grambling State University’ and head of the History Geography Department.

The 78-year-old Calloway was amazingly agile and flexible in his movements. His fancy footwork delighted the audience and his combination of wit and humor served as the catalyst to cre- ate an environment of nightclub entertainment showmanship. To add spice, Calloway presented his lovely and talented daughter Chris Calloway to the unexpecting audience. She per- formed several contemporary hits and served as an addition to an already incredible evening. The father-daughter duo performed a few songs together and then it was time for “pop” to go solo. Calloway insured his band received proper credit by means of applause throughout the show and he concluded the evening with a rendition of his popular “Minnie the Moocher.” The evening with Cab was as expected. He was lively, vibrant and witty; however, throughout the show most people kept looking for the cabaret girls and the tap dancers. This show should have been billed as‘a night with Cab Calloway and not the Cotton Club as many were led to believe. Calloway and daughter Chris perform. Evette gets Chris’ autograph.

Dr. Nelson advised against that path and instead stressed the importance of following the narrow road. “You will not find many people on it, but its benefits are great.”” The Texas educator added this simple formula for success: (1) develop all your re- sources, (2) apply all your talents and (3) stand up and be counted.

More precisely, it was the year coach Eddie Robinson sur- passed Paul ‘‘Bear’’ Bryant’s collegiate win mark of 324 and three weeks later jumped. ahead of “‘Papa Bear’’ Halas’ com- bined collegiate professional record. There is an old saying that goes, “‘Nothing good ever comes easy,” and Eddie’s record-breaking feat certainly didn’t occur overnight. It took 44 years of hard work before the legendary mentor became the winningest coach in collegiate football history. The story dates back to the early 1940s when President R.W.E. Jones hired Robinson to lead his Grambling (Louisiana Negro Normal Institute) Tigers. “‘Prez’’ found Rob working for 25 cents an hour in a Baton Rouge feed mill. During his first year as a Tiger, Eddie drew $63.75 a month and laid the ground work for his next 43 successful years of coaching. “I always wanted to be a football coach since the third grade,”’ revealed Coach Robinson. ‘‘But had it not been for ‘Prez,’ who knows where I might be today.” Now, the entire world knows about Eddie. Recordwise, the Grambling mentor now has 329 victories, 108 losses and 15 ties. He’s followed by Halas’ collegiate pro mark of 326-150-31 and Bryant’s 323-85-17. Amos Alonza Stagg is next with a record of 314-199-85 and Glenn ‘“‘Pop” Warner follows with a 313-106-32 slate. Eddie’s record stands a good chance of never being broken - since it’s highly unlikely anyone will be able to endure 44 years of successful coaching at the same institution. In addition, the Baton Rouge native still has several years remaining before he even considers retirement. So, historians, don’t close the record books yet!

Hoyas, Tigers Clash Grambling received its initiation into big-time basketball last November in Monroe when the Georgetown Hoyas defeated a young Tiger unit 77-30. Following the battle GSU mentor Fred Hobdy related, “‘If this game was supposed to teach us something, we might be the best basketball team in the nation this week.” Grambling opened the scoring with a jumpshot from Ian Gomes, but didn’t score: again until the Hoyas had opened a 22-2 margin. From there things got more and more out of hand with Georgetown taking a 26-point lead four times before the half. The 3-1 Tigers suffered their first defeat while the Hoyas moved their record to 4-0. “We are young and inexperienced and | think we were a little bit afraid of meeting the No. 6 team in the nation,’ Hobdy added Grambling was led by fresh- man forward Charles Price with eight points and 10 rebounds.

SWAC Co-Champs Make Playoffs Tigers, Rob Make Grid History There will never be another football season like the one of 1985. : ‘Coach Eddie Robinson and his G-Men were the names and record breaking was their game. . From the very beginning, the eyes of the world were focused on “Dear Old Grambling,”’ and the fighting Tigers provided their fans with a hard-hitting, 13-act performance that kept sports historians busy. ; Of course, most attention centered around coach Robinso and his “bear hunt.’’ Completing his 44th year as head coach at GSU, Rob surpassed both Paul “Bear’’ Bryant’s 323 wins and George ‘“‘Papa Bear” Halas’ 326 victories to become the “winningest” coach in collegiate football history. His record now stands at 329-109-15. Rob’s record-shattering feat, however, didn’t over shadow the tremendous effort exerted by a very talented collection of Ti- gers. : For the 15th time, GSU finished at the top of the SWAC chart—this time as co-champions with Jackson State. Upon ending the regular season with a 9-2 mark (6-1 in the confer- ence), Grambling traveled to Jonesboro, Ark., for the first round of the NCAA 1-AA playoffs. A last-second Arkansas St. field goal finally brought GSU’s 1985 season to a close. Throughout the year, football analysts compared the ’85 - squad to the tremendously talented 1975 unit. And in many 130 Football instances, history actually repeated itself. Both teams got off to tremendous starts with convincing wins over Alcorn. Then major college foe Oregon State challenged the Tigers, but the Cats were too big and quick for the Beavers. One of the sternest tests came in Nashville. Not since 1975 had Grambling won in Tennessee. When the final gun sounded, it was GSU 31 and Tenn. St. 21. ‘Midway through the ‘75 and ’85 seasons, undefeated Grambling teams faced Jackson St. in Jackson, Miss. In both instances, Jackson prevailed. Another interesting comparison involved the Bayou Classics of 85 and ‘75. During the earlier confrontation with Southern, backup quarterback Darryl Zimmerman led the Tigers to-victo- ry after Doug Williams was injured. In 1985, second team signal caller Chauncey Allen guided Grambling to a 29-12 win. School field goal records were also broken during. both seasons by Larry Scrubbs in 1975 and Ardashir Nobahar in 1985. : Junior running back Wayne Hill led the G-Men in rushing by gaining 715 yards on 177 carries for a 54.8 average per game. Clyde Dyson, a sophomore fullback, followed with 526 yards on 116 hauls (42.9 yards per game). . In the passing category, senior quarterback Terrell Landry fired for 2,015 yards. This was accomplished by completing (continued on page 131) Record Breaking Was Their Game (continued from page 130) 133 passes in 318 attempts for a .418 norm. Landry had 17 interceptions and a 183.2 yards per game average. The Lake Charles product also was the total offense leader with a 183.2 average per battle. Hill was next with 54.8. Leading all scorers was Hill, who tallied 96 points as the re- sult of 16 touchdowns. Kicker Ardashir Nobahar followed with 78 points. He booted 36 of 39 extra points and 14 of 22 field goals. Wingback John McFarland amazed 48 points through 8 TDs. But it was the defensive play that really propelled the Tigers throughout the year. : is Grambling’s receiving corps was hampered with injuries much of the year, but still performed admirably. McFarland headed the pack by grabbing 33 aerials for 580 yards and eight TDs. Tight end Arthur Wells nabbed 27 passes for 435 yards and two scores while Hill caught 24 bullets for 226 yards and six touchdowns. Wingback Marvin Thomas collected 17 throws for 255 yards and two scores. Multi-talented Robert Williams punted for 1,998 yards and a 35.7 average and also caught 13 passes for 209 yards and one TD.

Then came Claude Landry with his 59 yards and 19.7 norm. But it was the defensive play that really propelled the Tigers. Linebackers Fred Collins Jr., James Harris and Joe Williams led the way. Collins led in solo tackles with 97 and was second in assists. Williams was credited with 55 assists and 59 indivi- dual tackles while Harris made 79 stops and recorded 42 assists. Harris threw more people for losses—21 tackles for 153 yards. The Monroe senior also led in sacks with 16%. Defensive ends Leonard Griffin and Brendell Hopkins followed with 9 and 6 respectively. Harris and Williams each had three fumble recoveries. Defensive back Robert Goins led in interceptions with seven for 114 yards. Victor Hill, also a defensive back, nabbed seven for 91 yards.

Tigers Trounce Alcorn 30-20 The sweet taste of revenge was savored by coach Eddie Rob- inson’s Tigers Sept. 14 as the G-Men pounded Alcorn State 30- 20 to avenge last season’s embarrassing 27-13 loss in the Superdome. Shreveport’s Independence Stadium was the scene of the 1985 fracas in which Rob pulled within three wins of breaking coach ‘‘Bear’’ Bryant’s collegiate victory record. Grambling dominated the first half, rolling up a 27-7 halftime lead, but slowed considerably in the final stanza as the Braves narrowed the lead to 27-20 in the third quarter. Alcorn mis- takes helped the G-Men rack up their first half points and Tiger miscues kept the Braves close in the final stages. Four Brave mistakes were turned into 17 GSU points—two on fumbled kickoffs and a like number on quarterback Richard Myles’ bobbles.

But a fired-up band of Tigers reeled off 17 unanswered points to take a 27-7 halftime lead. Junior fullback Wayne Hill hit the promised land on a 20-yard scamper and Landry scored on a one-yard plunge. The scoring binge ended with Nobahar’s 37-yarder. Grambling’s lead was trimmed in the third quarter when Mil- ton Barney scored on a 57-yard punt return. Less than five minutes later, Myles found Perry Qualls in the end zone on a 20-yard throw. The final say was had by Grambling when Nobahar kicked a 36-yard field goal. “Grambling beat us up front,” said Marino Casem. The Alcorn head coach added, “‘Anybody would -have been crazy not to test our secondary. Grambling did, and was very effec- tive at it.” Landry completed 15 of 43 passes for 243 yards with one interception. Devastation In New York “We love playing here, because the fans really get behind us,” remarked quarterback Terrell Landry after the Tigers dismantled North Caroli- na Central 45-14 in Yankee Stadium.

Beat OSU 23-6 Tigers Yell ‘Pac Who?’ “Pac-Who?”’ was the Tiger chant following Grambling’s 23-6 defeat of major college foe Oregon State in Shreveport’s Independence Stadium. In addition to knocking off a Division 1-A opponent, the Tigers also presented coach Eddie Robinson with his 323rd collegiate win, tying “Bear” Bryant’s all-time colle- giate mark. “To tell the truth,” Robinson remarked, ‘the 323 doesn’t belong to me, it belongs to the players and coaches who have really done the work.” It didn’t take a fired-up band of Tigers long to put 14 first quarter points on the board. Fullback Wayne Hill tallied first on a nine-yard run and junior Ardashir Nobahar kicked the extra point. Hill scored again when he caught a 20-yard aerial from quarterback Terrell Landry. The PAT was good. OSU finally got a break near the end of the first half when Hill fumbled at the GSU 39 and Beaver linebacker Osia Lewis recovered. Jim Nielsen pumped through a 53- yard field goal as the half ended. Trailing 14-3 going into the fourth period, and with first-string quarterback Erik Wilhelm knocked out of the game with a torn ligament, Oregon State abandoned its air game and began chopping out yardage on the ground. This set up a 37-yard field goal by Nielsen with 11:04 remaining. The eight-point difference became crucial when Landry, who completed 15 of 37 passes for 164 yards and was intercepted five times, fumbled the ball over to OSU at the Tiger 19. But big James Polk blocked a 12-yard Nielsen field goal attempt to kill the scoring threat. The tide was really turned in the final five minutes when linebacker James ‘‘Hollywood’’ Harris downed the OSU signal caller in the end zone on a blitz. Following the safety, Harris recovered an Oregon State fumble which set up a four-yard Landry to Sherman Cowley touchdown pass. Tight end Robert Williams paced all receivers with six catches for 70 yards, and Dyson led GSU rushers with 41 yards on 16 attempts.

With the victory Rob became the winningest collegiate football coach of all-time, surpassing the legendary “Bear” Bryant of Alabama. _ A hungry band of Tigers went for the kill early. Follow- ing the opening kickoff, the Tigers galloped 77 yards in 10 plays to score on Terrell Landry’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Arthur Wells. Ardashir Nobahar drilled the extra point with 10:21 left in the first quarter. But the scoring wasn’t over as the Tigers struck again, this time on fullback Wayne Hill’s one-yard plunge with. 3:57 remaining in the initial stanza. The drive consumed 45 yards on seven plays. Nobahar again kicked the PAT. Defensive action soon took the spotlight when cornerback Jeffrey Smith intercepted Panther quarter- back Ernest Brow’s pass and raced 58 yards for a touchdown with 6:10 left in the first half. Nobahar missed the extra point. GSU fullback Clyde Dyson made it 27-0 in the third quarter when he galloped 11 yards for a TD. This time the extra point attempt was good. With 9:43 left Prairie View finally penetrated the tough Tiger defense. Brow found Charles Porter for a 37-yard touchdown reception. The PAT conversion ran the score to 27-7. The win boosted GSU’s record to 4-0 and kept the Ti- gers in second place in the Division 1-AA rankings. As the game ended, hundreds of helium balloons filled the air and Rob was mobbed by cameramen and reporters. Football 135 Hill looks for a hole. Lie 136 Football First In 10 Years Big Win In Nashville For 10 years the Grambling Tigers had come up short in Nashville. Not since the days of Doug Williams, Sammie White and “Big Hands” Johnson had a GSU unit won in the Tennessee capital. But a decade later, the ’85 Tigers changed all that. Fullback Wayne Hill led the way by scoring on runs of 19, five and four yards, the last coming with 10:08 remaining. His gallops and a tenacious Grambling defense enabled the Louisiana squad to defeat Tennessee State 31-24 be- fore 22,000 fans in Dudley Stadium. GSU jumped off to an early lead when quarterback Terrell Landry hit Arthur Wells on a 53-yard pass four minutes into the game. Ardashir Nobahar added the extra point. He also added a 38-yard field goal with eight seconds left in the first stanza. After that, Hill took over with a 19-yard TD with 6:40 Coach Sterling advises. left in the first half, a five-yarder with 3:29 remaining in the third and the tie-breaker on a four-yarder with 10:06 left in the game. Another strong defensive performance propelled the Ti- gers. A last second interception by Robert Goins saved the victory, but that wasn’t the only outstanding play on defense. Linebacker James Harris came up with two vital third down sacks and 11 tackles while fellow linebacker Fred Collins had 18 tackles and Jeffrey Smith 15. Tennessee quarterback Gilbert Renfroe scored that school’s first TD on a three-yard scamper with 3:23 left in the first quarter. The other Tennessee scores came on a two-yard run by Marlon Johnson and a 25-yard field goal by David Hood. Those two scores came within a four- minute span opening the fourth quarter as Tenn.

Following the six-pointer, y Tn Grambling attempted to run for two tallies, but the Tiger pounces on Valley fumble. move failed. The GSU defense was tenacious. Valley reeled off the next two scores on eight-yard touchdown aerials to wideout Joe Thomas and running back Carl Byrum. Both PATs were good and the Delta Devils enjoyed a one touchdown halftime lead. The celebration, however, was short-lived as Grambling struck for two third quarter scores. The first came on a 27-yard TD pass from Terrell Landry to John McFarland. Another two-point attempt failed. But it wasn’t long before Hill scored again and Ardashir Nobahar kicked the PAT. The Mississippi crew narrowed the score late in the _ third quarter when Totten hit Byrum for a 12-yard TD reception. The extra point attempt failed, and Valley trailed 25-21 with 1:56 left in the third. Grambling pushed across an insurance jouehdown | in the final stanza on a 15-yard Hill run that ended the scoring. With the vicion GSU pushed it’s win streak to 11 in a row.

Win Streak Ended JSU Halts G-Men Who says history never repeats itself? It most certainly did last Oct. 26 in Jackson, Miss. For the first half of the 1985 grid season, the G-Men devastated all six opponents—just as the power-packed 1975 unit had done. The ’85 Tigers beat major college foe Oregon State and whipped Tennessee St. in Nashville. The 1975 squad was the only other GSU outfit to accomplish that feat. Both Eddie Robinson teams traveled to Jackson with 6-0 charts and both suffered their first setbacks. The ‘‘team of the 70s’ walked away from the Mississippi capital with a 10-point loss (24-14) and the ’85 squad was hand- ed a nine-point defeat. When time finally ran out, Jackson had defeated GSU 35-26 before a crowd of 27,765 rain-soaked fans. JSU snapped GSU’s 11-game winning streak dating back to last season and also spoiled Eddie Robinson’s bid to surpass George ‘‘Papa Bear’’ Halas’ 326 victories on the collegiate pro level. Jackson quarterback Shannon Boyd started the scoring barrage with a six-yard TD pass to tailback Lewis Tillman. But the Louisiana Tigers jumped out to a 13-7 lead on two Ardashir Nobahar field goals and a 45-yard TD reception by i . ' : wingback John McFarland. Jeffrey Smith goes for interception. The hometown squad reeled off four more TDs. Boyd hooked up on 66 and 35-yard TD tosses to Stacey Mobley and Ter- rence Hull, respectively. Then right tackle Leon Seals pounced on a Landry fumble in the end zone for a touchdown and linebacker Jackie Walker returned a Landry pass 67 yards with 9:17 left in the third period to put JSU out front 35-13. GSU linebacker Joe Williams returned a Shannon Boyd pass 18-yards for a touchdown at 4:32 to cut the lead to 35-20. Then Landry connected on an 11-yard TD toss to McFarland with 48 seconds left in the third period to establish the final score.

As the Tigers were busy dismantling an of- fensive-minded Texas Southern team, Eddie Robinson and Ardashir Nobahar were demol- ishing two long-standing records. Coach Rob eclipsed “Papa Bear’ Halas’ all-time collegiate pro win mark of 326 victo- ries with his team’s 30-6 thrashing of TSU. Nobahar, who kicked three field goals dur- ing the battle, made SWAC history by booting a record-breaking 54-yarder early in the fourth quarter. GSU initiated the scoring when Wayne Hill romped 14 yards for a TD. Nobahar’s 25-yard field goal in the second quarter gave the Ti- gers a 10-0 lead. © But then TSU tallied when Donald Narcisse caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from signal caller Johnny Cole. The PAT failed. Grambling made it 17-6 at halftime after Terrell Landry drilled a 28-yard scoring aerial to John McFarland. _ Following a scoreless third quarter, Carlos Ellison of the Tigers scored on a one-yard scamper. Nobahar later added his record- setting three-pointer covering 54 yards. The junior kicker finished the scoring with a 30- yard field goal. : _ Tight end Arthur Wells paced the Tiger re- ceivers with six catches for 108 yards.

Once airborne the water-drenched pigskin drifted nonchalantly toward the goal posts. Above the metal uprights it hesitated, as if not sure which way to go. But at the last moment, the “‘air sick’’ ball drifted gently behind the crossbar. History had just been made. Junior place kicker Ardashir Nobahar had just drilled a 54-yard field goal for a new SWAC record, His feat on a rainy Nov. 2 afternoon was against Texas Southern. Ironically, the old record of 53 yards was set in 1974 by TSU kicker Charles Stafford. It was booted in the Astro- dome against Grambling. Nobahar’s boot also erased the previous GSU record of 52 Shall we punt or try a field goal? yards set by Larry Scrubbs in 1975 in Hawaii. The New Orl eans resident was actually in attendance during the home- coming battle. When asked where he got the necessary leg drive for the kick, Nobahar said, “It was just all heart. I might weigh only 160 pounds, but my heart weighs more than that.” The Iranian native attributed much of his success on the 54- yard boomer to snapper Arnold Radford, holder Pat McNeill and Tiger kicking coaches Melvin Lee and Billy Manning. Pointing to Lee, coach Eddie Robinson said, ‘‘There is the man who insisted we go for it. I wanted to punt.” Laughing, Rob added, “If he didn’t kick it, Coach Lee was going to catch some hell.” The celebration is on. Fumble! Falls 28-0 Alabama ‘Needed Some Relief The battle was staged in Atlanta and was part of a doubleheader aimed at raising funds for “African relief.” When the dust finally settled, Alabama State was definitely in need of some relief from a devastating Tiger assault. Before 12,000 fans in this Atlanta Football Classic, the G-Men rolled over Alabama 28-0. Employing a balanced scoring attack, Grambling tallied twice passing and two times rushing. Quarterback Terrell Landry hurled scoring passes of 17 and 23 yards to wingback John McFarland and halfback Wayne Hill, respectively. Running backs Carlos Ellison and Sherman Cowley crossed the goal line on runs of one and two yards. Grambling’s first two TDs were set up on pass interceptions by defensive back Roberts Goins. Rushing honors went to Hill who accumulat- ed 46 yards on 10 carries. Landry was nine of 16 for 106 yards. “We got a balanced effort from our offense and that’s something we have been striving for this season,” noted coach Eddie Robinson.

Carolina Downs GSU Grambling’s television jinx continued as the Tigers were edged 13-10 by a fired-up South Carolina State unit. Before a national (ESPN) viewing audience and 5,008 GSU fans in Robinson Stadium, SCS pushed across the winning points with 31 seconds remaining. Junior placekicker Richard “Rambo” Dix — booted a game-winning 44-yard field goal, and broke a 10-10 score. Not since the Jackson State victory in 1980 has a Grambling squad won on television. Ardashir Nobahar kicked off the scoring with 10:43 left in the first quarter with a 43- yard field goal. The visitors retaliated with a 27-yard TD run by Charles Glaze in the second quarter. Dix’s kick made it 7-3. But a 25-yard touchdown pass from quar- terback Terrell Landry to wingback John McFarland with 2:06 to play in the first half left GSU with a 10-7 lead. “Rambo” knotted the score with 10:30 to play by kicking a 20-yard field goal. Then a 49-yard halfback pass from Gerald Foggie to tight end Robert Tyler moved SCS down to the GSU 32-yard line and set up the winning field goal. With 2:54 left, Nobahar attempted what would have been the go-ahead field goal, but it was judged no good by one official and the other didn’t even make a decision. After ex- tensive replaying of the attempt, ESPN com- mentators said it was a “‘blown call.”’ The field goal should have been good. 29-12 Jags Beaten Again _ Eddie Robinson’s crew chalked up its third straight win over arch rival Southern University by posting a 29-12 victory over the Jaguars before 56,742 fa ns in the Louisiana Superdome. By capturing the “Bayou Classic’ trophy, Grambling bolted into a first place tie with Jackson State and assured itself of an nee playoff spot. _ Leading the GSU scoring barrage was 160- pound place kick- er Ardashir Nobahar, who was credited with 28, 30 and 23- yard field goals. _ Wingback John McFarland, later named the Tiger MVP, also highlighted the GSU attack by rushing for 23 yards on five carries and catching five passes for 50 yards and two touchdowns, both from quarterback Chauncey Allen, who was substituting for starter Terrell Landry. Southern grabbed a 12-6 first quarter lead, but GSU went to the dressing room with a 13-12 margin on a 10-yard Allen to McFarland TD pass midway through the first stanza. Nobahar made one of the PATs. A verocious GSU defense held the Jags scoreless in the sec- _ond half while Nobahar was helping kick Eddie Robinson to his 329th career victory. Closing out the scoring was running back Wayne Hill, who _ bolted over from the one with 7:15 left.

ASU Edges Tigers In Playoffs Grambling’s dream of a national championship was eclipsed in Jonesboro, Ark., Nov. 30 when Arkansas State edged the Tigers 10-7 in the first round of the NCAA 1-AA playoffs. With five seconds remaining, ASU ‘“‘substitute”’ kicker Frank Richards drilled the 25-yard game -winning field goal. Defense was the name of the game for the G-Men as Grambling spent most of the afternoon stalling ASU drives deep in Tiger territory. . Meanwhile, Eddie’s offensive unit had to start with terri- ble field position—the best being the Tiger 25-yard line. With 45 seconds left in the first half, the Indians pro- duced their first score when fullback Rickey Jemison plunged in for a one-yard TD. Stuart Reid kicked the PAT. The score was set up by a controversial tackle eligible play. The A-State center snapped the ball and quarter- back Duane Brown left it on the ground and faked an op- tion right. Then tackle Ray Brown picked up the ball and ran 25 yards to the Grambling one. During the second half, Grambling’s defense continued to shut down the wishbone option, but the Tiger offense could get nothing going. Once back-up quarterback Chauncey Allen replaced Terrell Landry the GSU offense came alive briefly in the fourth quarter. Allen drove the Tigers to ASU’s one—a big chunk of the yardage coming on a 52-yard pass to John McFarland. On fourth and goal from the one, Robinson inserted Landry again and the signal caller sneaked in with 13:25 left. Ardashir Nobahar kicked the extra point to tie the score. But Grambling’s next two possessions ended in an inter- ception and punt and A-State got the ball back for its winning drive with 2:08 left in the game.

For All-American Honors Kodak Selects James Harris “He was the best athlete on our team this year.”’ That remark was made by coach Eddie Robinson after learning star linebacker James ‘Hollywood’ Harris had been named to the prestigious Kodak Division I-AA All America team. , “You name it and he did it for us on defense this sea- son,’ added Rob. The former All-American for Monroe’s Carroll High was the most complete defensive player in the SWAC, yet un- believably wasn’t named to the All-Conference first unit. In fact, Harris may very well be the first Division |-AA player ever chosen by Kodak who didn’t earn a berth on | his own All-Conference first team. The 6-3, 210-pound senior placed second in tackles during GSU’s regular season with 114, but compiled some eye-opening statistics: 21 total stops behind the line for a minus 153 yards, six pass interceptions for 104 yards, eight pass breakups, three fumble recoveries and 16.5 quarterback sacks. Hill and Rob discuss action. Six G-Men All-SWAC Grambling placed six players on the Southwestern Athletic Conference “‘dream team.” Taking first team All'SSWAC honors were offensive guards Dwayne Richard and Levelle Moore, kicker Ardashir Nobahar, defensive lineman Sean Smith, linebacker Fred Collins Jr. and defensive back Robert Goins. Running back Wayne Hill made the second squad as did defensive lineman James Polk and linebacker James Harris. Return specialist Kevin DeSett, defensive end Brendell Hopkins and linebacker Joe Williams received honorable mention honors. Ironically, Harris made the Kodak All-America first team, but could only manage a second unit spot on the All-SWAC squad. Harris cuts off runner. Sean Smith rests during South Carolina battle. Tigers Make All-Star Games For several Tigers, the season didn’t end at Jonesboro, Ark. Instead, it continued in the form of All-Star competition. Gramblinites were watched by thousands of viewers in such athletic events as the Freedom Bowl and the Blue and Gray Classic. James ‘Hollywood’ Harris put on such a show in the Freedom Bowl that he was named the SWAC’s most valuable defensive player. Defensive end Leonard Griffin, defensive back Robert Goins and linebacker Fred Collins Jr. also got plenty of action in the Atlanta contest. Griffin and Goins were also participants in the Blue-Gray game in Montgomery, Ala. ‘ Coach Eddie Robinson served as an assistant coach in the Freedom Bowl.

While playing in the Faculty Staff Summer Mixed League, Gloria set the single game record for women by rolling a remarkable 277. This eclipsed a previous high of 256. Ms. Smallwood had a perfect game before recording a spare in the seventh frame. Then in the 10th, she left two pins on her third throw. Following her 277 game, the GSU employee fired a 168 and then a 222 to set the series mark for women at 667. Gloria has been an avid bowler since 1970. 146 Records “When you’re hot you’re hot and when you’re not you’re not.” Grambling’s Lady Tigers lived and eventually “‘expired’’ by that slogan.

Al- though they. finished second in the con- ference race and also in the SWAC tourney, the cagers produced the best record of any loop school. Their 21-8 mark was the best slate compiled by a GSU unit since the revival of women’s basketball here in 1977. About’the only time the terrific Tigers cooled off was in the SWAC tournament finals.

Hobdy’s crew got off to a tremendous start by rolling up nine victo- ries in 10 starts. The only loss came at the hands of na- tional powerhouse Georgetown. However, the Tigers fell on hard times once SWAC ac- tion kicked off as the young team dropped six of its first seven league matches. But the GSU unit managed a strong finish by winning three of its remaining five regular season battles. Probably the most impressive victory was the 71-67 defeat of Jackson State, the SWAC leader at that time. Price paced all scorers with an 18.0 average per game and was followed by Wesley with 14.7. The Napoleonville forward also led in the rebounding department, collecting 8.8 per battle. Wesley, the former Grambling High star, hauled down 6.6 rebounds per game. Leading the team in assists was freshman guard Cla- rence Tanner of Palmetto. His 4.9 norm was followed by a 1.6 average compiled by three Tigers—frosh guard Rene Davis of Amite, sophomore guard John Clarke of Nassau, Bahamas, and Wesley. In addition to the scoring performances of Price and Wesley, the Tigers also had good results from sophomore forward Reuben Charles of Trinidad (8.7 points per game), Tanner (6.9) and senior guard Robert Swafford of Lena (6.0).

During the outdoor meet held in Houston in early May, sophomore Wesley Francis captured the individual field events point-total title. The Trinidad native placed first in the hammer (137-5), first in the javelin (205-2), second in the discus (152-4) and sixth in the shot put (46-5). His feats gave him 29 points, the most scored by a field event person in the 1980s. The Tiger 400-meter team of Derrick George, Willie Williams, Charles Tyler and Mike Johnson raced to a second place finish with a 40.41 clocking. Other first place spots were garnered by Donald Gibbs in the high jump (7 feet) and Wilbur Ferdinand in the 1,500 meters (3:50.61). Ferdinand also was second in the steeplechase (9:56.20) and third in the 5,000 meters (15:28.81). Ivory Hurst was second in the javelin with his 170-10 toss while Stephen Shelley was fourth in the triple jump with a 47-7-3 4. Other standouts included Milton Bunch, long jump (second—23-6%); Bill Terrell, steeplechase and 10,000 meters (sixth—10:24.30 and 35: 10.60); Derreck George, 100 meters (fourth—10.72) and 200 meters (sixth— 21.29); Ulric Graham, 400 meters (second—47.55); Dereck Codrington, steeplechase (fifth— 10:09.30); Hume Jacobs, 1, 500 meters (fifth—3:58.25) and 5,000 meters (sixth—15:44.30); Donald Allen, javelin (fifth — 163-3). The 1,600-meter relay unit placed fourth with a time of 3:10.08. In the outdoor meet GSU placed third behind Jackson with 111 points. During the indoor competition last winter, the Tigers were second behind Jackson with 102 points. In the Jackson indoor competition Wilbur Ferdinand, who also captured the 3,000- meter run, set a SWAC record in the 1,500 meters with a time of 3 minutes, 56 seconds.

Under the guidance of new head coach Michael Ensley, the young squad finished with a 12-11-1 record. This was the first year the club played its home games at Grambling. Previously, the contests were staged at the Ruston baseball complex. However, all 1986 home games were played in a new “community-GSU” softball field located behind the Grambling Community Center. At home the team was 8-5 and 4-6-1 on the road. After dropping their first four games, the Lady Tigers put it together and swept a doubleheader from Northwestern 4-3 and 3-0. They lost two more battles before em- barking on a four-game winning streak. Out of their last 15 games, the GSU squad won 10. Whether the unit would have a winning or losing season was decided in the final doubleheader April 23rd at Delta State. There Ensley’s group defeated the Mississippi school 13-4 and 11-1 with Marie McCaskill and Doyla Morales getting the wins. Propelling the Tiger attack was outfielder-shortstop-pitcher Doyla Morales. The ver- satile player led her squad in hitting and pitching. She had a .525 batting average and led the team in RBIs (24), home runs (5), doubles (nine) and triples (three). Actually, she was tied for the triples title by outfielder-pitcher Marie McCaskill. Other plus .300 hitters included outfielder Trina McGee, .429; shortshop Yolanda Jackson, .368; catcher Maria Gooding, .349; outfielder-pitcher McCaskill, .333; second baseman Darlene Gray, .333. First baseman Robin Foster led in put outs while third baseman Gwen Ogletree took the assists title with 43. Morales also had impressive pitching statistics. She won six games and lost three for a .750 victory percentage. Her 2.58 earned-run average was also tops as was her 63 strike out total. McCaskill finished with a 4-3 record and .571 winning percentage. An earned-run average of 3.29 was recorded by this Tiger. It’s the start of a double play.

His glorious career spanned 30 years here, where he com- piled 571 victories, fourth among active coaches in NCAA Divi- sion I. His lifetime record is 571-287—the state’s best. The Winnfield product became the second member of the four winningest active coaches in Division | basketball to recent- ly step down. The other was Guy Lewis of Houston. That leaves Ralph Miller of Oregon State and Dean Smith of North Carolina at the top of the list. The only others who have won 500 games are Florida’s Norm Sloan and Maryland’s Charles “Lefty” Driesell. Hobdy, known as the dean of Southwestern Athletic Confer- ence coaches, directed the Tigers to eight SWAC titles during a “Golden Era’’ that reached from 1956 through 1972. Probably his most remembered feat came in 1961 when the Tigers with Willis Reed won the NAIA’s national championship. However, the 1975-76 team compiled an impressive 22-9 mark and the 1979-80 unit went 22-8 and played a first-round NIT battle against Ole Miss in Oxford. Twenty-four All-Americans were coached by Hobdy. eeu : Coach Fred Hobdy Coach Fred Hobdy’s Career Record é : SEASON CONFERENCE FINISH OTHER 1956-57 23-8 Midwest - Conf.

H. Harris Auditorium. Dr. Scott explained this uniqueness comes from the fact that only nine percent of American college students are black. “It takes 10,000 black births to equal one black Ph.D.,” she re- marked. In her delivery she also touched on power, Africa, racism, understanding where one comes from and loyalty to one’s alma mater. Ninety-three individuals were awarded undergraduate diplo- mas while 27 received graduate degrees. Four Gramblinites were graduated magna cum laude. They were Inger Marie Rayford, a computer science major from Mon- roe; Cynthia Moss, information systems, Buckner, Ark.; Julia Washington, accounting, Logansport; Ibraheem Tunji Fasakin, management, Lagos, Nigeria. Ms. Moss compiled the highest grade-point average with her 3.65 norm. Dr. Scott speaks. “Dear Grambling, dear Grambling.

Ulysses works with computer project. 236 Classes oS nr cmeNeN aN | By Faculty-Student Team How does nuclear radiation affect the various parts of the human body? Although much research has been conducted on this subject, there is still much to be learned. In the GSU Physics Department a select group of individuals is trying to expand man’s knowledge in this area of bio-physics. Sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the investigative project is entitled, “Induced Nuclear Radiation Dose in a Simulated Standard Man with Implications on Aircrew Survivability.” Heading the effort is Dr. Bessie R. Foster, professor of phy- sics. Three physics majors are also engaged in the research which is a follow-on project initiated in the 1985 Summer Faculty Research Program at the Air Force Weapons Lab (Kirtland AFB, N.M.) Student participants include Dollie Howell, a senior from Grambling; Arlisa Labrie, a senior from Opelousas; Ulysses Johnson, a senior from Greensboro, Ala. These undergraduates are conducting their research as part -of a special class—‘‘Projects in Physics.” “We are engaged in this study to form a more accurate “picture of long and short term effects to exposure of nuclear radiation,’ explained Johnson. Actually, much of the work is done through computers. “It takes a limited knowledge of computer programming to carry out the research,” noted Ms. Labrie. All of the student scientists are familiar with FORTRAN and BASIC. Each student studies different areas of the body. Johnson is analyzing the pituitary glands, lungs, liver and testes while Ms. Labrie is looking into the muscles, pancreas, skeleton and Ms. Howell researches the subject. Effects Of Radiation Studied Arlisa goes over the latest findings. blood. The brain, heart, kidneys and adrenal glands are the areas of concentration of Ms. Howell. “‘We are collecting information from previous radiosensitivity experiments through the use of computers. In addition, we are also making tests of our own using certain amounts of different body elements and specific gravities in order to see if our find- ings agree with previous experiments,’ Johnson added. According to Dr. Foster, the students collect and analyze base line data with conventional methods and via computer pro- gramming. Her main research thrust is to specify biological — parameters (determining characteristics) for various organs and tissues as they relate to radiosensitivity, and to make an assessment as to aircrew survivability in the induced radiation field. Other aspects of the research are being conducted on a collaborative basis at the Air Force Weapons Lab in Albuquer- que. Following graduation, Ms. Howell plans to teach. “This project is giving me a lot of practical experience that I will be able to share with my students once I enter the field of educa- tion,” she related. Johnson feels that he is getting a valuable insight into radi- ation physics as a result of this project. He plans to go into a branch of bio-physics after graduation. Ms. Labrie noted that this project is really showing her how interrelated the areas of physics are.

Such celebrities and Julius “Dr. J” Irving and Georgetown coach John Thompson viewed the Louisiana performers. County Stadium in Atlanta, Ga., and the Louisiana Superdome were also visited by the musical delegation from Grambling. In addition to the standard routines performed by marching band members, the unit also featured a rapping specialist, singers, the Orchesis and guitarists. Following the Bayou Classic performance, Conrad Hutchinson’s talented unit traveled to Tokyo, Japan, for a halftime performance with the Southern Cal band in the Mirage Bowl. This was the fourth trip to Japan for the Grambling band. In 1976 the unit performed in the Pioneer Bowl. A year later the group was invited to the first Mirage Bowl. Then in 1982, the GSU Marching Band traveled to Osaka for the Jazz Festival and then on to Toyko for the sixth Mirage Bowl. Musicians perform during Texas Southern game.

If you are a member of the Grambling State University Orchesis Dance Group, you are quite accustomed to the above criteria. They are the “‘facts of life’’ for each dancer. Actually, it’s not all that bad. There are benefits—travel, fame and performances before thousands of appreciative fans. Heading the famous dance group is Dianne Maroney, an out- standing teacher and disciplinarian. To become an Orchesis member one must endure hours of practice. In the fall dancers work out daily from 6 to 8 p.m. and springtime sessions are even longer. In addition to the 6 to 8 p.m. daily practices, Orchesis members also attend 12:30 to 3 p.m. Saturday extravaganzas and 10 to 12 a.m. Sunday workouts during the spring. How does one join? Well, anyone can try out. Although for- mer dance training is desirable, it’s not required. Ms. Maroney is known for her ability to train anyone willing to learn. Beginners usually start with the apprentice group. There one . perfects his or her skills in hopes of making the first unit. Competition is keen on both units, and one must try out for each dance performance. “We're actually organized like a dance company,” noted dancer Robin Porter. ‘‘The group is all volunteer and there is no pay.” Practice is usually held in the basement of Bowen Hall. There members are trained in the techniques of ballet, modern (Tortou and Graham) dance, jazz and ethnic routines. In the fall most of the time is spent getting ready for halftime performances. Springtime work is geared more towards shows at universities and area schools. So why does one join such an elite group? Ms. Porter gave this reason: “I love to dance and this keeps me in shape.’ Members of the organization include Ronald Jackson, Cheryl Gilyard, Mia Lancaster, Arlene Wright, Robin Porter, Khi Wil- liams, Millicent Pnen, Libbie Taylor, Tracy Benjamin, James Sherrell, Alexis Pricsley, Toni Singleton, Monica Illes, Angela Spearman, Lorraine Morgan, Carla Winston, Stephanie McHenry, Charena Steverson, Reva Holmes, Andrea Satanley and Makeda Zulu.

No, its Anthony Harris and his air brush. Anthony, a 19-year-old sophomore from Lafayette, N.Y., has been drawing all his life, but has only been involved in air brush art for two years. During recent Student Government Association election cam- paigning, this commercial art advertising major created numer- ous colorful banners and posters for candidates. Much of his work was displayed in front of McCall Cafeteria. Harris started out by watching Mexican and white air brush painters. Anthony practiced on things around the house and _ gradually improved to the point of being hired at a T-shirt store. “| paint most things free-hand, but for the really complicated projects | outline,” the artist revealed. He works in his room or on location. ‘“‘When you first start out it’s costly, but after the initial outlays then you only have to - purchase paint,” Anthony commented. An air compressor and air gun cost about $300. The paint runs about $10 per quart, which lasts usually about a month, depending on how much work must be done. T-shirts take about 15-20 minutes to complete and sheets require about an hour to an hour-and-a-half depending on what the customer wants. All kinds of people come to Anthony. They range from friends to students and from companies to private organizations. This creative Gramblinite has worked on museum displays, done murals at home and fashioned landscape scenes for the Department of Communications and Theatre. Although Anthony does a lot of work, he readily admits he has competition. “I’m not afraid of it. If people think someone else is better, they should go to them.”’ _ He added, “You can’t just come off the street and air brush. Unless you have had a background in grafitti art or some type of artistic background, you will have difficulty in the air brush field.” Harris creates many signs. she’s 104-Year-Old Sara Crawley Boyd Oldest Living Gramblinite The 104-Year-Old Tigress An artist’s rendering of Sara Crawley Boyd. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since 1906 when Sara Crawley Boyd arrived at what is now known as Grambling State University. Last Dec. 2, Sarah, the only living member of a group of seven teachers who helped start GSU, celebrated her 104th birthday at the Vital Age Adult Day-Care Center in Rockledge, Fa. While her memories of Grambling are still vivid, she prefers to live in the present. “I’ve been blessed,” she said. She waved her hands in time with the music as the other center members whose ages average 79, sang ‘‘Happy Birthday.” Sarah was the oldest of seven children and an accomplished seamstress who had learned the craft from her mother. They sewed clothes for the city’s wealthy white families and she also taught sewing in schools and played the piano at church. In 1906 this proud Gramblinite married Leonard Letchee Boyd, a Tuskegee Institute graduate. Following the marriage, Boyd whisked her off to Lincoln Parish to help the North Louisi- ana Agricultural Industrial Institute—now GSU—get off the ground. Grambling’s founder, Charles P. Adams, had requested addi- tional help from Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee and he sent Mr. and Mrs. Boyd. The couple took the train from Alabama to Grambling. When they reached the Mississippi River, they had to spend the night at some little spot and Leonard stayed up all night killing bedbugs. The train stopped at the Grambling sawmill from which the town got its name. “We went all the way out in the woods to this building. There were Indians walking around there,” Sara recalled. She only emphasizes the positive and leaves out the bad things of the past. Sara no longer talks of hiding from the local Ku Klux Klan, which opposed having a school for black chil- 324 Tiger Life dren. According to her niece, Althris Shirdan, local farmers came to warn them once that the Ku Klux Klan was riding that night and they would all have to leave. She said, “They all hid out in the fields with their guns waiting for the Klan to come, but they never did.” During her seven-year stay at Grambling, Sara taught sewing and music and Leonard taught printing. “They were all country girls and they needed help,” she not- ed. “They were all poor people in need, but they were willing to share what they had.” Her husband established a newspaper on the tiny campus and it was printed by the students he taught and circulated throughout the town. During those tough days, most people could not afford the $5 tuition, so families paid with livestock such as chickens and pigs and with fresh vegetables. The Boyds never received a salary while at Grambling and Adams was never paid until 1918, when the school became part of the parish school system. According to Sara, for a Christmas present her mother-in-law sent them live chickens and ducks to help them make it into the next year. “We started with just an old piece of a building,” she said. “We divided the porch in half and the Adamses lived on one side and we lived on the other. The students lived upstairs and classes were held on the first floor of the building.” Since there was no television or radio, families would often spend evenings sitting out on the train tracks telling stories and singing songs. To raise money for the institution, Sara and the students would put on fashion shows and her husband would take the school’s choir on tours to perform at area churches. One day her husband wrote the federal government to estab- lish a post office for the small community. This eventually led to the town being officially named Grambling. He became the first postmaster. Once the struggling school became more established, the Boyds moved to Charlotte, N.C, where Leonard was hired by the African Methodist Episcopal Zion publishing house. He later became a minister and eventually established a school for black youths who did not have homes or had become entangled in the state’s juvenile justice system. “I was mother to 500 boys during my life,’ Sara related. Leonard was named superintendent of the Morrison Training School, State School for Negro Boys, in Hoffman, N.C. There they remained until his retirement in 1943. Sara still gets dozen of letters from youngsters who tried to stay in touch with her and her husband over the years. The Boyds continued to live in Charlotte until Leonard’s death in 1967. Then Sara moved back to her family home in Montgomery, Ala. She has never let living alone or getting older prevent her from leading an active life. Her advice to others: “Be patient, regardless of the issue. Weigh the matter before you act. Live normally. Don’t try to outdo yourself. Exercise. And be careful what you drink.” Kevin removes a pipe from his “office supply’ briefcase. ‘Preppie LeQ’ Organization Is His Claim To Fame Students often have difficulty hauling themselves and a few books to class. Kevin Tyrone Mauldin, a social psychology major from Detroit, not only accomplishes the above task, but also lugs a barber shop and office supply warehouse to the lecture hall. This junior does it through the use of customized briefcases —one holding “a ton” of office supplies and the other loaded with barber instruments. One case is designed with education in mind while the other is for financial reward. During the summer of ’82, Kevin decided he needed more organization in his life. So he created his first ‘‘office supply” briefcase. “I did it for convenience purposes and to keep myself orga- nized in school work,’’ he explained. “I have everything | need in this case so there is no excuse for not doing my school work.” Kevin’s “‘office supply’’ case contains such items as a stapler, brass pipe, box of school supply paraphernalia, sewing kit, bi- ble, tool set, stationery, cards, lighters, baking soda, paper bond, sinus medicine, nail clippers—file, address book, photos, calculator, pencil sharpner, clock, tooth brush and paste, mirror and grooming supplies. In the summer of ’85 Kevin created his ‘“Groom Phi Groom” briefcase that complimented his part-time hobby—barbering. “Pye been cutting hair since 1981,” Kevin admitted. “It helps me pick up a little extra cash.” Known as “‘Preppie Le-Q the Barber,’ this Gramlinite says his grooming case has already paid for itself. Library work is rewarding. STE TS TTT ES ET a TOE TS EET EI Photo feature by RICKY GALLOT, SHERMAN STOGLIN | 326 Tiger Life The Union is a favorite gathering spot. Working At Night Is Enjoyable Although most Gramblinites work during daylight hours, there is a select group that earns a living when the sun goes down. They are Grambling’s ‘“‘night people’ —those that hold down jobs between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m. : You can find them scattered about campus in such places as the Union, radio station, campus security office, dorms, weight room, switchboard and library. Of course, staying awake is one of the major drawbacks of night work, but there are definite advantages. Pam Mandigo of KGRM radio said, “‘I like it, because that’s when the students are in their dorms and they get to hear my show.’’ The Shreveport communications major also explained that you can cram lots of study time into those late-night ses- sions. Campus security personnel often work the ‘‘graveyard”’ shift. Such is the case with Dwight Truitt of LaGrange, Ga., and Den- a nis Turner of Winnfield. Both enjoy their work which includes — : walking throughout campus and handling some radio calls. Anthony Starks of Detroit is employed at the switchboard. “I really love working here, especially when I receive a call from a moaning female.” One of the favorite spots for athletically inclined students is the weight room in Bowen’s basement. There Terry Jordan of Buffalo, N.Y. runs the show. One of the main advantages of the position is Terry gets to work out. The biology chemistry major is a member of the GSU powerlifting team. Another busy “‘after hours” spot is the library. Renita Knox of Chicago and Nancy Manuel of Winter Garden, Fla., spend their time there. Nancy said she enjoys working at the circula- tion desk and is able to get in a lot of reading. “Working here develops your interpersonal skills,” noted Renita. They are really put to the test when the “exit cage alarm’ goes off. Many Gramblinites work in dormitories. Javonne Tolliver of Springfield, Mo., is situated in Bethune. “My strangest incident occurred one evening when a young man came in and enjoyed | looking at feet,’’ she concluded.

This was made readily apparent to Grambling Army ROTC cadets during the weekend of March 14-16. They participated in the annual All-Louisiana FTX (Field Training Exercise), This activity, which was held at Camp Beauregard in Alexandria, was the second that they participated in during the 1985-86 school year. Some 200 cadets from universities all over Louisiana and Texas were in attendance. For all purposes and intents, this exercise was designed to reinforce their leadership skills in preparation for a six- week advanced camp to begin in June at Ft. Riley, Kan. Military Science III cadets initiated training in small unit tactics, land navigation and physical training. Cadets were faced with numerous obstacles that might present them- selves in combat. Both male and female cadets were given the opportuni- ty to lead an actual eleven-man squad. “I was quite impressed with our performance,” said Anthony Everett, a junior from El Dorado, Ark. “Not only was this exercise physically demanding, but it tested our ability to handle mental stress, as well,’’ he added. Orlando Clark, a senior MSIV cadet from Little Rock, Ark., remarked, “‘We’ve earned our rights this weekend to be called lieutenants in the United States Army.” 328 Tiger Life It’s chow time!

SAA” Challenging: How would you like to attend school on a full-time basis, change diapers, ‘‘pottie train’ a child, cook, pay bills, stay at home most of the time, study beside a small child and be a parent without the benefit of a spouse? So you say the answer is no. Well, that’s not the case with several Gramblinites who have adjusted to the unique world of single parenthood. Three GSU students were interviewed on the subject and each had a different story to tell. =| Brenda Ann Burton, an early childhood education major, is currently raising her two-year-old daughter Miranda and attend- ing classes full-time. From 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Brenda goes to school while Miranda stays at Mount Olive Day Care. ‘My mother in Hammond could keep her while I’m in school, but I prefer for her to be with me,” the 24-year-old Gramblinite noted. Of course, there is never a dull moment with a child around. “There is always something to do like studying, cooking or | changing diapers,”’ the junior admitted. Although her friends sometimes babysit for her, Brenda says her social life has definitely changed. “I just don’t have much time anymore.” Occasionally, Miranda attends classes with her mother. “‘She’s definitely the center of attraction,’ Ms. Burton revealed. Apparently most students spend more time playing with Miranda than they do listening to the lecturer. “She talks to everyone in class,” said the Hammond native with a smile. The life of a single parent is definitely a challenge. “You have to take on a lot of responsibility and learn to live on your own,” she revealed. One thing that disturbs Brenda is the situation with Miranda’s father. “He attends school and doesn’t help out,” she said. In summary, Ms. Burton remarked, “Since I had the baby, I’ve hit the books more and become more serious. I only wish I had done that earlier.” ’ Not all single parents are females. Willie World Sampson II is charged with the responsibility of raising his two and-a-half-year- _. old son Willie the III. -“T helped bring this offspring into the world, and now I must take care of him. It’s my duty,” related the electronics major. He and the child’s mother, who lives in New Orleans, have a working arrangement concerning the care of Willie the III. She keeps him about a month-and-a-half and then I do the same, he explained. During the spring semester Willie and his child were frequently seen either going to or in class. “Everywhere I go he goes. If he can’t go, then I can’t,” related Willie, who also emphasized his social life was severely cramped because of his responsibilities. But he said if he had to do it all over again, he wouldn’t change anything. His most difficult time with Willie the III was during the child’s first year. “That was when I had to change diapers and prepare milk.” Learning how to take care of a child definitely matured Willie. “Now I’m spending time with someone I really care for — and this keeps me off the streets,” he related. Willie said he didn’t have trouble studying with a child near- Single Parents Lead Unique Lives by. “‘My son has a book to read when I’m studying—he under- stands.” Sampson, who has job offers in Texas, California and Virgin- ia, offers this advice: If you’re thinking about having children, think long and hard, because it requires a lot of sacrifice and time to bring a child up right. Wanting a child is easy, but tak- ing care of one is hard.” c “Just remember,”’ he remarked, ‘‘a boy can make a child, but it takes a man to take care of one.” Agatha Gail Watley only brings her son Coreontae Quintez to campus on weekends. “He usually stays with my parents during the week,” she ex- plained. Agatha commutes from Ruston and says she receives help not only from her parents, but from her son’s father, who works in Dallas. The graduating senior plans to move there after spring com- mencement exercises. ““We’re planning to marry next year between April and June. By then we should be established,” she remarked. Ms. Watley admitted it’s hard studying with a four-year-old nearby. “They try to study with you.” She also said her most difficult time was when Coreontae was in diapers. “‘But once he was ‘pottie trained,’ things got better.” The Bernice native said she wanted to participate in more university activities, but couldn’t because she felt an obligation aoa : ; : oe Se Agatha and Coreontae relax in the square. Willie and son listen attentively. towards her child. “Actually, the experience hasn’t changed me that much. It did teach me about responsibility.” Another advantage of being a parent is “that you have someone you can call your very own,” she remarked. The management major confessed that Coreontae is definitely going to be a smart man. ‘‘Why he already works in the garden and feeds the dogs—Ed and Al, who are regularly pelted with Coreontae’s water pistol. “Being a single parent is not easy, but if you trust in God, you will make it,”’ she advised.

Commuters They Are Always On The Go There is a group of students at GSU that many on-campus Gramblinites are not too familiar with. These students can be classified as early birds, midnight-oil burners and all-around hard workers. They attend classes, study in the library and prepare home- work assignments just as on-campus Gramblinites do, but the big difference is that they commute to school by bus. Yes, four surrounding parishes, Bienville, Claiborne, Jackson and Webster, have buses that provide transportation for local students to and from GSU. This free-of-charge privilege is government-funded. Parish school boards hire the drivers. At one time, three of these buses were parked between Charles P. Adams and Martha Adams halls. These vehicles served as a meeting place for some of the students taking a break between classes. As of February, 1986, the buses were moved to the street directly across from the elementary school | so that more student parking spaces could be provided. ‘“‘Now, when we have some spare time, instead of going to the buses, we sometimes meet in the student lounges in Charles P. Adams and Carver halls, the dormitory lounges and friends’ rooms,”’ related Kim Qualls, a freshman commuter from Hodge. Socializing, enjoying a bite to eat and waiting on the buses take up most of our out-of-class time, Kim added. There are also commuters who drive to school, carpool with others and attend classes at Louisiana Tech. In addition to the bus commuters, these “traveling students” add a special touch to the variety of students represented here. The bus program got its start in the fall of 1969 with Jackson Parish furnishing the initial vehicle, explained Cardell Phillips, Jackson Parish bus driver. ‘Because there were students who wanted to attend Grambling College, but could not afford to pay on-campus fees or daily transportation, a group of concerned black parents met with local representatives to discuss a possible means of trans- portation to GC. This resulted in government-funded money be- ing awarded to Jackson Parish for this sole purpose. Bienville, Claiborne and Webster parishes followed with similar programs in the fall of 1970. Today, these buses log a minimum of 92 daily roundtrip miles in Jackson Parish and 144 in Bienville. i} i Only five more miles to Hodge. Students pass time in Adams.

In the physics laboratory of Dr. A.N. Murty, Gramblinites are concentrating their efforts on one alternative—the catalytic. process in the production of gasoline from synthetic gas (CO +. H2). The project is entitled, ‘Zero Field Nuclear Magnetic Reso- nance Study of Zeolite-Cobalt Catalysts,” and is funded by a Department of Energy grant. It runs from September of 1985 through September of 1987. Working closely with Dr. Murty are two Grambling physics students. These seniors are Arnold Williams of Atlanta and Willie Rockward of Houma. According to Dr. Murty, the objective of the study is to un- derstand the function of a catalyst on the liquefacation of syn- thetic gas. In other words, the study is attempting to help in the development of an efficient catalyst for making gasoline from synthetic gas. Dr. Murty reads printout. Willie Rockward makes an adjustment. 336 Tiger Life Study Coal and water can produce synthe tic gas and once this sub- “stance is passed over a catalyst (in this case cobalt), gasoline is formed. — “We are studying the properties of the catalyst before and after its use,’ explained Dr. Murty. In addition, he added, we are researching the effects of the promoter on the ferromagne- tic character of cobalt. In this study a nonradioactive form of cobalt (CO59) is being used. _ Although cobalt is the catalyst of Dr. Murty’s experiments, ‘other substances such as iron and copper can be substituted. Grambling’ s scientists are working closely with the Pittsburg Energy Technology Center. There the actual catalytic measure- ments are made and then the catalysts are sent to GSU for study. ZFNMR (zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance) measure- ments are then made of the catalysts using a frequency modu- lated super regenerative (NQR) spectrometer system. “One advantage we have here,” noted Dr. Murty, “‘is we have this highly sophisticated spectrometer system that was ob- tained through NASA and National ee Foundation and Re- _ search Corporation grants.” From the testing, the team recently concluded that whe “the promoter thoria is added, there appears to be a preference to a specific crystalline phase for cobalt while in the absence of thoria both the phases are present.” _ These findings were presented last spring at the zone 10 meeting of the Student Chapter of the American Physical Society at the University of Texas (Dallas). Williams and Rockward presented papers. Both students are very enthusiastic about their research. “‘t’s really enhancing my knowledge in the field of solid-state physics,” said Williams, who plans to go into bio or health phy- sics after graduation. Rockward feels the research is really preparing him for grad school where he hopes to go into solid-state physics and electro- optics. This is Willie's second research project.

Be Prepared And You Might Get A Job By MARSHA WILLIAMS Interviews are a must for anyone looking for permanent employment after graduation, or a co-op position. Here students are either waiting patiently or anxiously pacing in Grambling Hall in preparation for their 30-minute interview sessions. One recent interviewee was Mohammed T. Elahi, a senior from Ahwaz, Iran, who thinks recruiters should tell interviewees more detailed information about the position in question. “I'd advise others to always be prepared, give logical answers and make a strong impression,’’ Elahi remarked. Many Gramblinites said they were nervous before the session. Such was the case with Veronica Shaw, a junior from Bastrop. “T was nervous, because I didn’t know what to expect,’ she : explained. Veranica said students being interviewed should — display a positive attitude, know a lot about their field and — present themselves in professional manner. It’s not uncommon to see the same individual being inter- viewed throughout the month. ‘‘You should start this process as soon as possible, because the more one interviews, the more comfortable that person will feel during the sessions,” comment. _ ed Susan Billups, a junior from Grambling. Brian Jackson, a junior from Gary, Ind., believes you should emphasize your strong points, and use all your full senses when interviewing. Grambling’s Placement Office offers a variety of literature and assistance to interested students. Steven Marble, a junior from West Point, Miss., was a strong backer of the office and its services, Heading Placement is Lonnie Smith, who said about 35 per — cent of those interviewed actually are hired. A disturbingly small percentage cancel at the last minute or don’t show up. “It’s extremely important for students to attend the interview sessions,” he reiterated.

It’s A Different World Story By MARSHA WILLIAMS Graduate students are the forgotten minority at Grambling State University. However, they do enjoy certain privileges that are often difficult for undergraduates to obtain. Such things as cafeteria exemptions, choice of dormitories and on-campus exemptions are a few of the options available to these upper level Gramblinites. Graduate students also do not pay an “activity fee.” However, Donna Joe, a GSU graduate and native of Chicago, believes grads should have an option of paying this fee. “T also don’t like the fact that we have no representation with the Student Government Association,” she remarked. Donna thinks grad students should have separate living quarters from undergraduates. | Ivory Smith of Charlotte, N.C., also is of the opinion that grads should have an “‘activity fee’’ option. This Johnson C. Smith University graduate is enjoying his stay at Grambling and he really likes the way the university treats its advanced level students. An optional “activity fee’ was also supported by Lucy Clarkston of Alexandria. ‘“‘Grad students both on campus or in the immediate area would like to go to events without worrying about getting tickets,’ she explained. Lucy thinks changes should be made with class scheduling. “Too many courses are offered on the same night,” she said. Ms. Clarkston did her undergraduate work at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches. ‘Some of the courses should be made more challenging and grad students should be required to do more research,” noted Leon Fuller of Chicago. This Grambling graduate also is for an optional “‘activity fee.” The moment every graduate student anxiously awaits. Uniqueness is the goal of this hairstyle. The look from the rear. Cut Above Rest Story Photos by MELISSA BOWERS Shert cuts are popular. The hairstyles of GSU women are a “‘cut’’ above the rest. No longer do men hold a monopoly on the “‘fresh cuts.” _ Now the women are springing forward with original hairstyles _ that allow them to express themselves in a bold new way. Many women choose to take on a different appearance to give themselves a new attitude. Roscille Caston, a sopho- more from Wisner, said that she wanted a change from the ordinary styles she had worn previously. Tracey Johnson, a junior from Waukegan, Ill., related, “I get a lot of compli- ments on my unique hairstyle, and it makes me feel very - good.” LY : j Several Gramblinites said they strive for exquisite styles that attract attention. __ The women pictured on this page are the pioneers of the new wave of hairstyles that has spread across GSU. Keep an eye open for other Grambling females who will ‘“‘catch the _ wave’’ in the future. This student thinks about her new style.
