To the University, it symbolized growth. This year a new college was added, the School of Continuing Education. From 5 students in 1867 in a theological school to a 13.000 member student body with 18 schools and colleges, we've certainly come far.

Virginia Beach will never be the same. A routine was then established, hot. balmy days, cool, breezy nights and reluctant, but necessary studying. Then as the days got shorter and cooler, electricity and excitement filled the air. It was homecoming! A week and a half of events were characterized by laughter, stepping, parties, and most importantly. unity. Engaged in homemcoming festivities.

To continue the solemnity. grades came back a week after we did. A treacherous winter brought tons of snow, sorority and fraternity pledgees, and the one thing that all college students look forward to more than summer. SPRIMG BREAK. This week long vacation in the middle of the semester was used by most to flee the cold and seek the heat. With the weather change came the seniors' piece de resistance, graduation. These undergraduates were now graduates; spring was now summer and in three months, the cycle would begin again. The Homecoming Fashion Show featured the finrsl in both fashion and men. Opening 7 e Wednesdays are hump days. Eighteen is a hump year. Most students eagerly looked forward to getting over that hump in anticipation of drinking (but no longer in D.C.), voting, freedom from sometimes restrictive parents, and. in general, growing up. Most found that growing up had its price. They had traded in the carefree days of adolescence for the burdens and joys of adulthood. Living away from home in college brought on tele- phone bills (and possible disconnection), registration lines, verification, and encounters with nutty professors. There were positives, however, like chillin'' on the Yard the way only Howardites know how, homecoming activities, and football thrashings. Eighteen embodied both the drudgery of responsibility as well as the freedom to explore possibilities. Most of all, however, turning eighteen enabled students to begin to test their newfound wings.

Androgynous Fashions Toses the Question 3 it a Man ora Woman Is it for girls or is it for guys? With androgynous fashions making their way on campus, that question was to tally outdated. Designers were creating clothes with no particular sexual specification. It was no longer an oddity for a female to know that in women's shoos she wore an 8 and in men's, a size 6. This new wave of liberal dressing allowed for trend-setting creativity. It allowed for the boldness to make an individual statement beyond traditional boundaries. College sludonts have had a reputation of boing trendy and fashionable, thus making the college campus an ideal setting for observing new tronds. Collogiato women found it more fashionable to dress in a non-traditional style. They wore pantsuits with squared, padded shoulders in jackets that were once reserved strictly for gentlemon. Stepping into masculine styles with feminine charm was also noticed in shoes that women wore. Anything from square-heeled, lace up dress shoes to high-top, athletic sneakers were now acceptable attire for women. Suspenders, ties, and hats have crossed over to help accessorize the new fashions. Tina Scotts, on 18 year old Prc phormocy major from Virginia, explains. I sometimes buy clothes from tho men’s department becauso their clothes are a lot more comfortable. I think androgynous dressing has become so popular because the 80's has proven to be the era for more aggression in women. We aren't expected to always be seen and not heard. We don't havo to just look pretty for the guys. We have entered a period for general role switching in the home and on the job. So why not in the way we dress? Tho men on tho college campus were also breakng away from the old standards as well. No longer were they confined to the tedium of drab colors such as grays, browns, and black Now men are demanded attention and caused heads to turn as they “sported red. yellow, orange, and bright blue. For calmer moods pastels were ideal for guys. Tight stirrup pants, a recent comeback for women, were now being worn by men. A major addition, formally considered a practicality for ladies only, was the designer tote bag. Accessories added to these new styles for men were brooches, gold and silver chains, as well as the single carring-studs and even hoops! Richard Glass, a junior majoring in English, feels that. “Women are attracted to men who are different. It’s nice to do something or wear something that makes you stand out from other men.” As women fought for equality in society and in their careers, men joined the struggle for fashion equality as well. Daring originality said a lot for the person who tried to be distinctly different. It distinguished him or her as an individual. There was no better way to make this declaration than through daily styles of dressing. by Sherri Milner Layout by Lesa Walker K I r«rfhrltrr The bloufty. bright coat and rolled up pants added a touch ol whimsy to Ron Higgins' outfit.

November 23. in the Blackburn Center Ballroom, all present were able to soo who we were and what we represented For the 6th Annual Salute to Black Women, there were eight representatives honored, but only five were present. The list of honorees were as follows: Dr Edith Irby Jones. M.D.. Immediate-Past President of the National Medical Association. Mrs. Hilda H.M. Mason. D.C. Council member at Large. Ms. Toni Y. Luck. President of Amber Crain. Dr. Florctta D. McKenzie. Superintendent of D.C. Public Schools. Mrs. Patricia Russeli-McCloud. Esq.. President of Russell-McCloud and Associates. Ms. Fay Wattleton. President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Dr. Jacqueline C Hayward. Co-Anchor WUSA News, and Dr. Jayne C. Williams. Editor of the A.M.E. Review. Dr. Hayward. Ms Wattleton. and Dr. McKenzie were in absentia Introduced by a different officer of the Undergraduate Student Assembly, each honorue received a plaque engraved with acknowledgements and appreciation for being outstanding in her particular field. Said Erica Motley. UGSA Coordinator. The main objective was to bring us closer to the community by recognizing prominent Black women. It was also a way for students to show these women how much we appreciate them making a path for us to follow. The banquet was indeed a good way to show our gratitude, but a one day affair was limiting. So for the first time in its six year history, the salute was made into a conference which began on Saturday. Nov. 22. There were two panel discussions held; they were entitled Managing Porsonal Objectives: The Career vs The Family and The Final Step to Success-Giving Back. In the first discussion. which began at 2:00pm in the Blackburn Auditorium, the popular phrase Having it all. was frequently broached, as young collogc females wondered how they could manage a career and family simultaneously. In the second forum which began at 3:40 in the Auditorium, the prevention of gentrification. homelessness, and hunger were the broad topics which received opinions and suggestions from both the panel and the audience. This student-panel interaction bene-fitted all involved as varied viewpoints provided insight as to how to solve the problems that were addressed. This exchanging of ideas was. according to Motley, the reasoning behind expanding the Banquet into a conference. By expanding the weekend, the students were able to mix with the honorees. hear their views and make valuable contacts. The Banquet was still, however, the highlight of the weekend; and the keynote speaker. Mrs. Russell-McCloud. Esq., did not disappoint the audience as she used her acclaimed oratorical skills to oxcito and stimulate the audience. Her spoech reflected her committment to help Blacks organize. She is a member of the NAACP. the National Urban League, the National Bar Assoc., and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Inc; and in May of 1980. her speech If Not-You-Who? If Not Now-When? was entered into the Congressional Record of the United Stales. Devoid of her many accolades. McCloud was still a Black woman with an alarming question, which needed no answer: And they ask. who are we?” This was the thomoof hor introduction. She continually answered it with Black men and women who had achieved gains in society that whites took advantage of or did not acknowledge. She used her fellow panelists as examples of what a strong desire for Black unity, hard work and dedication could do. At literally five minute intervals, she received a standing ovation During her speech, she emphasized that the students were the backbone of our progress and existence. and “if you can get a C. then you can see your way clear to get an A. Never settle for less than the best and if everyone does his part, then everyone will know who wo are.” Television anchors. Presidents of corporations. Council members. Editors If nothing else, this weekend answered that question conclusively, leaving no doubts in the minds of the ignorant. Who arc we? ... Who are we. indeed by Mignon McLemore The keynote speaker. Patricia Kussell-McCloud. Esq., captivates the audience immediately by asking. And they ask. who arc wc? During her acceptance speech. Dr. Florelta McKenzie stresses the importance of studying hard and acquiring as much knowledge as possible to enhance one's chance in the work force. Dr. Edith Irby Jones informs the students of the importance of holding offices with power so effective changes can he made. 14 Salute to Black Women Creative Students Who Missed The Comforts And Luxuries Of Home Made Their Dormitory Rooms.-.. T he Nexf best Thing To being There A long, narrow, dimly lit hallway led to an open door. As you entered the room you were greeted with the aroma of burning incense, the latest in furnishings, and flashing lights of soft pink and passionate purple. Had you entered the twilight zone? No. a more likely conclusion was that you had entered what has become a growing trend. A unique and creative dormitory room. Leaving the comforts of home to take up residence in a dormitory could bo an cxpcrionco of mixed feol-ings. The excitement of incoming freshmen at the chance to live on their own was all too often converted to disappointment. Unfortunately, most students found that the residence halls left much to be desired. When Tina Scott, a pre-pharmacy major from Virginia, first entered Crandall Hall of the Tubman Quadrangle, she exclaimed, upon seeing her room. “Do 1 have to live here?! She went on to say. When 1 first looked in, I wanted to go home! Iva Mance. a Chemical Engineering major from Maryland said. The doublos aro so tiny! I couldn't believe I had to share it. Adjustments could be more difficult as surroundings changed in unexpected ways. The sign of a mature, creative, enthusiastic collegiate was to take a had situation and improve upon it: and this was what many of the students decided to do. Several weeks after moving the necessities into the room, students were convinced that certain “luxuries were definitely necessary. The redecorating of their rooms entailed creating an actual home away from home. In some rooms, soft pastels, delicate flowers, and stuffed animals floated from wall to wall. In others, the technological advancements of the times wore evident in the decor. In describing his room, one dorm resident who wished to remain unidentified stated. “I tried to make my room os close to home as possible. Soon after I moved in. I bought a projection TV., a V.C.R., an advanced stereo component system and of course the best and biggest spoakors I could afford. I certainly felt at home. Among the most interesting rooms were those that were decorated by devoted greeks. Abloom in the colors of their organizations, these rooms abounded with displays of paraphernalia. These collections varied from 5 foot paddles, elephants made from glass, sea shells and bamboo to pink telephonos and pink television sets, purchased especially to display groek pride. In the beginning, the tendency to mako the rooms similar to theirs at home motivated the redecorating. As the students progressed and grew older, the room made more individual statements about their personalities. Students saw the redecorating as an exciting challenge and as the metamorphoses took place they felt proud of a place that was truly their own. It may not have been the same as being at home or the same as an apartment but it was quite possible the next best thing. by Sherri Milner Layout by Andrea White Hugh Barrington find that studying can be made easier with the comfort of home and a furry friend. 10 Room Decor Hugh Barrington's room is a good example of simplicity insuring efficiency and for most guys, efficiency is all they ask.

A house is symbolic of security and stability, but a burglar sneaks in and robs the homo of everything that gives it value Like a thief in the night, the Bison football team crept into Tiger Territory and suprised Morehouse College on the day of its homecoming. Having staked out and cased “The House. the Bison crow headed south for the break-in. Airplanes, trains, buses, and cars were packed with those prepared to take Atlanta and one of her sources of collegiate pride by storm The competitiveness between the two schools was renowned on the gridiron and in the classroom. which made the “Clash of the Titans even more challenging. Our presence was formally made known at Morehouse's festive homecoming parade. Crowds of people piled onto the sidewalks of Northwest Atlanta. The sun smiled as if it knew of the successful outcome the Bison would have at the game. While people anxiously waited for the game to start. Esther Walters, a freshman at Spelman College said. “Look at all these people! I didn't think that so many people would come from so many different places just to see this game! The clock struck two and it was time for the game to begin. The Bison dominated the game from start to finish. When Walter Gaskin intercepted a pass and roturned it for a touchdown, it was only the beginning. The running game accumulated 388 yards and of those. 156 yards were Harvey Reed’s. Even though rushing was the main stay of the Bison's offense, quarterback Lee Dubose threw for two touchdowns. The 49-14 drubbing was an example of offensive domination; but according to Coach Jeffries, the score could hove been higher if it were not for the officiating. Said Jeffries. ”1 thought the refs were trying to keep the game close. The Bison were penalized 17 times for a total of 122 yards, penalties, however, were of little consequence, as long as the number in the win col- umn increased. The evening was one for celebrating. From Peachtree Plaza to the downtown Marriott and from Excelsior Mills to Mr. Vee's. the Atlantans graciously hosted all night parties, already forgetting the battle that they lost earlier Greeks stepped, ladies were admitted free of charge, drinks were served, and the dance floors were not vacated until early Sunday morning by which time the Washingtonians had left their mark on Atlanta When the planes, cars and buses began their long trek back. Morehouse breathed a sigh of relief for she had been ravaged socially and dominated completely on (he football field. Because two of the most prestigious black institutions clashed, the rivalry was intense. Nevertho less, the camaraderie survived unscathed.

People from the east coast ... or at least these were the storeotypes which had become associated with those groups of people California and New York represented two of the most diverse extremes on campus. Picture this. A girl enters a dormitory elevator A guy is already on the elevator wearing a nameplate about the size of his hand that says CARL in big. gold letters. The two of them ride up a number of floors and finally the doors open As the girl proceeds toward the door the guy says with expressive hand gestures. Oh by the way. my name is Carl. NO KIDDING! Of course, with the nameplate as an obvious clue, we could assume {sometimes incorrectly) that the guy was from New York or Philadelphia. People from the East const have a distinct fashion stylu. Adidas and Fila jogging suits along with the high top gym shoes were indicative of them. Furry Daniel Boone hub with long fox tails sat upon their heads—but this was spankin' . Although their language. dress, and habits seemed strange to people from other places the East coasters were proud of their citios—especially those from Philadelphia. Brooklyn, and Manhattan who boasted at every opportunity. Who could be dressed in corduroy Bermuda shorts, long Johns with flowers on them and lace gloves when the temperature was ten degree 7 Probably someone from the West coast. California “fer sure. But that was winter wear One California native could be seen walkingon campus barefooted during the summer months, and many would lay out on the yard, soaking in the sun at the first hint of sixty degree weather. People from the West Coast were known for their bright colors and “busy patterns, lam's knee length shorts and creative T-shirts were their calling card. Every weok ono could hear the Cali Crew complain that there were no good beaches around. The bouncy language they used was unique to them. Because thoy came from so many miles away and could not travel home frequently so they brought their West Coast traditions and laid back atmosphere to campus With thoir advent came guacamole, tofu, and vegetarian diets Not all people from the Fast or West coasts fit these stereotypic descriptions but a vast number did. Their individual creative personalities added variety to campus life The blending of the two gave the university a distinctly special quality. By Sherri Milner layout by Elaino Smith 22 N.Y. Y's.

With personalities as diverse as the ones on this campus, it was expected that responses would vary a groat deal. A wide majority of thn men echoed the same feeling. that the women were very attractive, but yet very superficial. Freshman Paul Black sighed. I would try to talk to these women, but without a car a large bank account . . Dallas Lee. a sophomore supported that statement. Some women are simply unwilling to date freshmen. The reasons are a mystery to me since at some time evoryonc is a freshman. The snobbism from upperclassmen and even freshman girls is just unbelievable. Women too were encouraged to offer their thoughts on the women on campus Said one girl. “I think too many women are materialistic. they expect their male counterparts to wine and dine them, when these men are poor students like themselves.

But after a few encounters with these men. what did the women think about them7 As with opinions of the men. the women’s feelings varied, too. The unnaturally high proportion of women to men led to many women becoming cynical: men knew they were in demand, and were choosy too. Ttaci Scott summed it up: “They think they are gifts to the world’s women, but they don't realize that there are other men out there. This complaint was widely echoed. There were some women who. despite this, were not negative. ‘‘Each one has different things to offer. You can't cate-gorizo them; I've had positive experiences with the men. was Michelle Powell's defense. There was a sarcastic attitude of women toward their male counterparts, but if given the chance perhaps the men could allay these women's doubts. by lackie Bryant Layout by Eluinu Smith (•reft Murrnw Knows how lo win i delighted l jri Pills.

Washington had a severe storm, and this year was no exception These storms were known to create traffic emergencies. transportation delays and government school and business closings. Of course no one minded the closings, but the traffic and transportation were significant problems which paralyzed the city as the major roads leaving the city wore covered with snow. David Robinson, a junior in the School of Architecture said. The snow trucks are useless, all they do is leave a layer of snow that turns to ice. They should work around the clock until the streets are cleared Tho sido stroots aro impassable because there's too much snow and the city still allows parking on both sides of the street. After a heavy anow. the temperature usually dropped causing the once pretty white snow to turn to treacherous, slippory ice The snow that was not shovelled or salted froze, making the simplest walk from one building on campus to another an exercise in balance and skiing. Book smarts were replaced by common sense and ingenuity. College life could only be suspended for so long, so students had to devise a way to attend class without breaking bones. Since the steps leading to the valley became nonnegotia-ble when snow transformed to ice. students got trays from the cafeteria and blindly bobsledded down the steps! All problems aside, with tons of snow came tons of fun. Snowball fighting and snowmen, although commonplace. were ways to acceptably revert back to childhood. For those from the South who rarely, if ever saw snow, tho shock registered on their faces was a source of amusement for thoso Northerners who lived with snow on a regular basis. Well for Washingtonians, lanuary and February equalled winter Life for those two months would consist of slower driving, heavior clothing and cautious walking Occasionally, schools closed as did the gov-ernment. On those days when the snow fell and the temperature dropped, the entire city could curl up with a good book and an Irish coffee. Eventually, when the city was covered in a blanket. one sound could be heard, snoring.

Janine Robinson, a high school teacher in Maryland. said. 1 wanted to take advantage of the holiday. I didn't want to misuse it by staying home and resting. Dr. King was not a man who sat still, he was a man of action. This is my way of showing my gratitude for his work. Some may have wondered why a jazz festival was chosen as a tribute. Perhaps it was because of the feeling and strength in the message that jazz music comes across The harsh clashing of musical chords and the rapid tingle of the cymbals were reminders of the struggle. The sudden changes to faster tempos wore reminders of the impationce of the black people and the nation in the quest for civil equality. The powerful echo of the trumpet helped one to remember Dr. King as a strong voice in a weak society— a voice which resounded to touch the hearts of thousands of pooplo throughout the world.

Indeed, practl ;ally every student frequented the center on a daily basis. Built in 1979 the center served as an improved revision of previous establishments. Dean |ohns, of Student Activities recalled. “Howard has always had a temporary student center, in 1960 they began the plans for the Backburn Center. Between that time and the erection of the present facility. there were 3 different centers The first was housed in Old Miner Hall in 1961. Temporary Building B. which is now the academic support buildings, and finally in 1963 the former University Center stood on the site that Blackburn now occupies That building was destroyed to accommodate the new center. In the old center many of the same facilities existed but on a smaller scalo. For example, there were only two meeting rooms and the recreation area only had three pool tables and two ping-pong tables' The center made significant progress resulting in the modern facility which we now boast. Blackburn meant many things to different people For student government officials, it served as office housing for HUSA. OS A. LASC. and UGSA. The office of Student Activities could be found there as well which offered a choice between the cafeteria, the punchout. and the restaurant. Also housed in the Blackburn Center was the campus store, a place whore life’s necessities and luxuries wore available for purchase. The recreation room on the lower level offered video games, pool ping-pong and a bowling alley for entertainment. For those who wished entertainment of a different type the Punchout offered parties and comedy night; but mure often simply a place for serious “hang ul.

The disoase runs its course in about 21 days and leaves its victims drained, listless and in all cases utterly relieved to have endured their brush with death. DIAGNOSIS: Final Frenzy. REPORT: Gail Williams, a first year pharmacy student explninod, “I had 4 exams in one week. It was almost impossible to study for all of them completely. It's really stressful when you've worked hard in a class all semester to find that you may not get an A because there simply isn’t enough time to study for closely scheduled finals. Another problem lay with how much material an exam covered. Tessa Murphy.au Accounting major stated, “I had one exam that covered only the chapters we covered during the second half of the somoster. Then I had other exams that covered work done throughout the entire semester. Needless to say. the comprehensive ones were the hardest to study for. Other patients encountered ‘splitting at the scams syndrome. Darlone Ellis, a senior Broadcast Production major expounded. “The end of the semester found mo with 3 term papers due on tho same day that I had 2 final exams I felt ns if I were being torn apart. The majority of the victims expressed the feeling of being lulled into a false sense of security only to be rudoly awakened by demanding professors, who seemingly had all conspired to create misery with term papers, one last exam boforo the final and of course, the final oxam itself In defense of the teachers. Tammy Brown, n sophmore Microbiology major said. “Many students procrastinate and wait until the last minute to do their papers and begin studying. This is usually why they feel so pressured.

Ooh! These were among the sounds one heard in August as students returned to school and greeted friends they had not seen for months. Among the squeals of recognition, and snapping hand shakes came the familiar question. “Where are you staying this year? For many students the reply was simply in the Hill. “in Slowc or “I have my own place this year However for some students who did not have housing. Ihoir response was usually I'm staying with a friend. For those students returning to school in hopes of being placed in a university dormitory the situation was often frustrating. The reason, some students did not have a room reserved varied from their not paying a $100 room deposit by the |une 1st deadline or failure to receive a room assignment through the housing lottery. The housing lottery held, in early February of each year, was the process by which room assignments for the following year were made. Students listed their dormitory choices in order of preference. The names of all students with the same first preference. for example Slowe Hall, were mixed together and names were drawn until all the available rooms in that dorm were filled. Although this sounded simple, problems arose as many students failed to receive their first choice. Although the students listed several choices, chances were they would not receive a room in alternate desired dormitories. This was because this student's second or third choice more than likely had already been filled by other students who made that dormitory their first choice. Those students who did not receive housing were placed on a waiting list: and in the event that housing became available, they were assigned a space. Dean of Residence Life William V Keene, said “Due to a number of no-shows by students, most students on the housing waiting list do eventually receive housing. Keene continued. Tho university makes assignments lo those students who meet the payment deadline of SlOO on lune 1st. Those who fail to do so forfeit their assigned space. Keene said “Many of these students refuse to believe that there is not enough room for them and they just show up at the beginning of the year. For students who did not want to endure the inconvenience of waiting for an available room, alternative housing was available through tho Off-Campus Housing Referral Office. Keene said Many students find apartments and rooms for rent in the nearby area through this referral system. Other students ventured into the city on their own. in search of a place to live. For many the search provad tedious; for others it was relatively simple. Lorraine Mcrriman. a senior from Detroit said. “I moved out of the dorms and into a house because I had an unfavorable room assignment. Although I wanted to get an apartment, the cost of living was too high, so I decided to move into a house with a few girlfriends of mine who shared Iho same predicament. For Deriene Coleman, the solution wasn't quite as simple. “The Office of Residence Life was unable to provide me with housing, so I stayed with a friend fora while, until Icould find an apartment. I preferred to got a place of inv own. but I couldn't seem to find a place with all the right qualities. When the price was right the neighborhood wasn’t. She continued, “It took me so long to find the right place that I moved into the Econo Lodge for a while, so as not to impose on my friend. While some students were never to havo had a problem finding on or off campus housing, others did not enjoy this fate. Nevertheless, through the hospitality of a friend, the tedium of house hunting or with tho assistance of the Housing Office, there remained some hope for the university’s homeless Charissc Killian Layout by Andrea White 54 Housing Shortage When on-campus housing becomes an impossibility or an inconvenience, a student like Gerard Gibbons rents homes close to campus.

How-ever, hours later, when confronted with polynomials, and binornal expansions, confusion took charge and he realized just how little he did understand. Many students went to their professor's office to receive assistance, but the professor often was not there. In many departments on campus. like Chemistry Physics. Psychology, and Foreign language. students could seek help from graduate assistants or teacher's assistants More often than not. G.A.’s” and T.A.’s” were easier to find and had more time to help students than did professors. Craduatc assistants and teacher’s assistants were students who tutored in the field they v ere studying. Graduate assistants were paid by research grants provided from companies like Dow Chemical, while teacher's assistants were paid by the University. In the science departments. graduate assistants and teacher’s assistants supervised and sometimes advised students in science laboratory courses. Student opinion about teacher's assistants overseeing their labs was mixed. Heather Leslie, a junior from lamaica. who had a TA for hor Comparative Anatomy lab said sometimes TAs are just there.” She added, 'although most TAs and GAs are competent some of them come to us for advice. Teachers' assistants and graduate assistants lightoned the work load of many professors. In addition to supervising labs, assistants held tutorial sessions, administered exams, and helped students with assignments Alan Ryan, a 1st year pharmacy student found his GAs very helpful. “In some instances they seemed just as qualified as the professors. 1 was impressed with how well they were able to get the information across to the student,” he said. Many of the graduate assistants and teacher's assistants were foreign students studying in the United Statos. Therefore some accents were difficult to understand. Heather Leslie contended that many of her teacher's assistants did not speak English clearly, and she sometimes had difficulty trying to figure out what they said. On the othor hand. Rodney Hamm, a 3rd year Chemistry student from Hampton. Virginia, said he had been lucky and had never had a problem understanding his assistants. For students who did have graduate assistants or teacher's assistants in their classes, it could be relieving to know that they could go to them for help. Although an assistant may not have know'n all the answers, he or she might have been able to help with some of the answers. They may not know all the answers, but the help they provide may have been enough to flip the switch that f enabled the student to see his assignment in a clearer, light. by Charissc Killian layout by I,osa Walker Masina Mbun examines the fragile glass piece that Douglas Bennett had tu use in his experiment. 56 Teaching Assistants Chemistry TA.

Students from all over thecountry took time from their studies to attend: exemplifying the events popularity. Those who had preregictered for the conference were able to get scheduled interviews with recruiters of their choice. If the interview was with a large company such as Gannett. the interviewee's resume was entered on a computer. Said Sharon Luvenc a graduate student, attending the University of Mississippi where sho was working on her PhD Tho large, chain companies like Gannett and Night Ritter put pertinent infor- mation about you into their computers to see if there was a position available in one of their larger companies for you. If not. they distribute your name and information to their smaller holding companies.” As for the smaller firms, they conducted interviews the old fashioned way; person-to-person. with resume, a roviow of accompanying references and applications. The conference was open to people searching for tubs, internships and schools to attend for continuod undergraduate or graduate work. At this conference a shift was noticed in occupational tendencies and desires Most did not realize that teaching skills. Commented Sondra Powell, a Senior High School Assistant Principal in Miami. Florida “Minorities are being disillusioned by corporate systems. There are only u few slots available for an entry level positions. By pursuing those few slots, they would have by-passed, abundant educational areas opened to them. In any urban area such as Miami, there are many teaching positions w ailing to be filled And the starting salaries are comparable to any in the corporate world. As there were two sides to every coin. There were two sides to this conference: one. businesslike, the other casual.

Scales and measuring tapes disappeared: mirrors were reduced from full length to half length: and oversized clothes appeared in more closets. The reason for such articles? Trying to conceal the unexplained weight gain of course. Some would offer a variety of reasons for this increase in waist size, but there is an underlying cause: lack of exercise. Exhaustion. This term, better than any other, described a statement at the end of the day. Most students were thinking of food and sleep. Mention the word exercise and the responses ranged from surprise to apathy to “ ! , the unprintable With all the academic and social demands of the typical college student, exercise was the least thought of. yet the most needed, heading the sedentary life had many advantages and gains, fun and pounds. There were some students who rarely thought of any kind of activity, while there were those whose waking moments were filled with exercise Phillipa Barnes, a freshman from New Orleans commented. “My oxer-ciso is consistent. Sho explained, “when 1 wake up I must use my stomach muscles to get out of bed. I use my leg muscles to walk to the shower and all my muscles to dry off and get dressed. It takes about one hour to get a good workout. Other students sincerely tried to exercise regularly, but could not maintain consistency. Richard Williams. a sophomore from New York commented. “Everytime 1 want to go for u jog I get sidetracked by either exams, women or food. I never thought oxorciso would be such a challenge. Some individuals were fitness fanatics. Stated sophomore Danielle Stevens. If I don't exercise everyday I feel big. fat. and yucky! I've even left class early in order to exercise before it got loo dark A familiar excuse was a lack of places to exercise after dark, a time whon most students had fewer responsibilities. Well, that soon became a lame excuse as. there were many facilities to accommodate them. Burr Gym had a weight room that could be used by all students with a valid I.D. card. For those who enjoyed the solitude and meditative quality of running. the new track was easily accesi-ble. What? Can't exercise alone? Need some kind of motivation? Woll Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Inc. sponsored aerobics in the Quad twice a week. There was even a discount for students at the Howard Inn Health Club. Surprise (at the availability of facilities) and dismay (at having no more excuses) manifested themselves through raised eyebrows and creased foreheads, when these facts were shared. “You're kidding’ exclaimed Andriette lohnson. a Physical Therapy major. “Either I've been asleep or just lazy about exercise. I think I'll start tomorrow. . . Inspiteof available facilities, there were some students who cringed at the thought of exercising. Pam Mitchell, a freshman from Michigan exclaimed. “I haven't exercised since elomontary school The only time I exercise is when I’m running catch the shuttle bus. To bulge or not to bulge? That was the second question The first was usually: “why don't my pants fit anymore? Too much McDonald's, Wendy's. Popeve’s and too many late-night-studying snacks. That was the answer to the first. In answer to the second, eat less and exercise regularly.

A place where friends could gather uninterrupted by outsiders. Somewhere in the heart of all the happenings, equipped with comfortable furnishings, and a place not frowned upon by parents and other respectable people. What place on campus fits this description? Believe it or not, the Undergraduate Library. Constructed with a tri-lcvcl stature. modern equipment, and an abundance of books, the library could have been ideal for studying. Most students did go to the library with good intentions, but found that the distractions soon got the best of them. You opened the door and found a big wide tnblo by the window. Spreading your books, you began studying After about 20 minutes of reviewing and admiring the scenery outside, two members of your study group spotted you and decided that it was the perfect time to prepare your presentation. Before beginning, however, they had to tell you about last weekend's party, who got pregnant, and who was dating whom. The conversation proceeded until you saw that gorgeous guy you had been watching all semester. You pulled the book up over your face and peered across the library to find him doing tho same. He made his way over to you as he pretended to look for a book. You exchanged phone numbers and daydreamed the rest of your study time away as conversations surrounded you in the comfort of the perfect hangout. Although the preceding was just an example, it was nut exaggerated. Most students found it difficult to concentrate in the library. Sophia Lewis, an architecture major felt Somn areas in the library are too loungy which encourage more social interaction.

The only negative aspect he encountered was that people tend to question my sexuality when I reveal my desired occupation. and it's unfair. When circumstances were reversed, similar iniustices prevailed. Some men were intimidated by intelligent women in a heavy major. Paula Gunter, a twenty one year old Physics major, who was tho sixieenth female to be inductod into tho Sigma Pi Sigma Physics Honor Society and the only female Physics major since 1971. has encountered those men. When I tell guys what I am majoring in. they are usually polite, but soon find an excuse to dance or talk, to someone else.

I changed from Mathematic to Physics because the latter provided a better balance between theory and application Eventually. I want to teach and do research. There are other area that have been infiltrated by a rising percent of the opposite sex. Business, architecture and engineering are a few majors where the number of women has steadily increased. The reasons for this increase varied from making money to accepting a challenge.

Support systems were vitally important, too. Tracy Gilliam Turner had the benefit of an extended family. Debra Garris' husband did his part to alleviate some of the strain. For Bozeman it was different; without anyone else to help out. the strain was sometimes almost overwhelming. “I.ooking at my daughter, though, gives me the inspiration to keep going; I made this decision to have a baby and so I must only concentrate on the positives.” was her outlook.

For Those Who Picked Ft Less Popular Major, It Was The Most Desirable Choice Choosing a major was probably Ihe most difficult decision for a student because this choico would determine the course of his life. Tho “money-making majors were an easy and popular choice because “everyone is into computers, engineering, or business.” But what about the ones that hardly anyone (including the advisor) knew about? The ones that would expand one's mind and knowledge, but not one's bank account? Well, they existed. but it took ingenuity and desire to find these “phantom majors, and courage and confidence to stay in them. Geology. Anthropology. Philosophy and French were a few of those majors that upon first glance did not appear to be readily marketable. One way to tell if a particular major qualified for this category was to gauge people's reaction. Anything from a frown to a blank look signified memborshp in this small, unknown club.

Dealing with peer pressure was natural, but when parents inquired about one's educational progress, they were interested in whether their child would be able to earn a living. “My parents were a tad bit skeptical, but when I exhibited genuine interest and informed them of the strides I could make as a woman and minority in my field, they supported me all the way. stated nineteen year old Yvonne Bonner, a Geology major from Texas.

I'd like to eventually own my own oil business and majoring in this field will help mo make the right investments. At least. I'll know what's going on. commented Bonner. Added Valentine. Someone with a good language background can make a nice living: it might not be as much as a doctor's salary, but it would be comfortable. Eventually, tho average college student hopes that his degree will lead to future financial security; frankly, that is the ultimate goal. But in some cases, money is not the sole motivating fact or in earning a degree. There are several like Valentino and Bonner who have chosen a major field of study, hoping to contribute to the community and to their basic happiness by doing something they enjoy.

In addition to these basic accessories, many women on campus followed the lead of the fashion magazines and added another accessory to make their outfits complete: headbands. These headbands can really compieto an outfit No longer was the headband reserved for rainy or those pre-hairdresser appointment days.

CD’s Small was in again, stereo equipment was once governed by the “bigger is better rule, but compact discs (CS's) and their accompanying players were proving that theory wrong. CD's were being touted as superior to LP’s for many reasons, among them the lack of background hiss”, which made for better sound: and their resistance to scratches. The only thing that was not small is their price, but many were willing to make that sacrifice for better quality. LZj The turtleneck become a wardrobe essential, and could be found on anyone and paired with anythin be it a sweater, jeans or a shirt. V Neck, Crew Neck, Turtle Neck X Marks the Spot And the winner is, the turtleneck. The idea was simple enough; it could bo worn separately or under another sweater, say tho crcwnock; it covorod tho entire neck during the winter, so there was no need really for a thick scarf; and if nothing else, it was perfect for hiding hickeys. Aside from tho obvious advantages, tho turtleneck, depending on tho color, complimented the outer sweater. On a college student's budget, n couple of inexpensive turtlenecks turned last years outdated sweaters into usable, fashion items. In any case, since the idea was to prosorvo body heat in the winter, the combi nation of two sweaters did lust that. Where it was once considered devastating to one's social life to have to wear glasses, now it was so fashionable that people bought frames with just glass for looses. Tho shape of the faco usually determined the typo of glasses worn; schoolboys, aviators or Malcolm X's. Malcolm X glasses resembled lohn Lennon shades (popular last year)because the frames were small, round, and thick. One could psychologically analyze the reasons for choosing these frames: Are these people slightly militant? Are they just trying to identify with a small piece of their past? In any case, we will consider complimentary fashion as the primary reason because either way. X marked the spot. 82 Mini Magazine Permanent Parts When most people part their hair, a stroke of a brush or comb could easi-ly change it if it weren’t in the right place or if it was crooked- But did you notice the shaved lines, permanent parts, on the sides of the head and the back of the neck of both men and women on campus7 Well, actually, they weren't permanent, but these lines lasted longer than a day and required new hair growth in order to remove them. The designs varied from merely straight lines to geometrical shapes to a loved ones name. A professional barber or beautician could adeptly use the clippers so that you could exercise a whim, but for vanity’s sake, no home jobs, please Say No Tho National Basketball Association had several campaigns on TV that pleaded with the public not to drink and drive, and refrain from drug use. Seemingly after every other commercial, there was someone explaining why drugs were dangerous. TV actors, movie stars, basketball players all had their say. On one offered any cures or solutions; the basic theme was to Drugs simply “Say No To Drugs and Say Yes to Life.” Any drug was expensive, but the increasingly popular cocaine ranks among tho highest in cost If one examined the choices, poverty vs security, friends vs alienation and life vs death, then there really was no need for solutions and cures. The choices were simple, if one listens to the sound advice. Mini Magazine 83 1986: A Year In Review There are election years, leap years, and bicentennial years. Well, the past year was none of those, but during the 365-day-span. trends developed that amazed some and disgusted others. The shuttle explosion was a first in history. Drugs ran rampant in sports, schools and corporate America. Politicians, once only assumed to bn dishonest, undeniably proved It. As a result of the Iran-Contra Scandal, the once charis- matic President Reagan lost his charm. Tom Cruise and Madonna became popular as did marriage again. Bill Cosby remained hot and loan Rivers fizzled. New York City wrapped up the sports world, and rapping wrapped up the charts. This was just a brief over-view. When put into chronological context, however, these wore the things to romember from the past year. Remembering A King Most young students who were not exposed to Martin Luther King, appreciated him. if for nothing else, the holiday on |an 19. But the free day was not free; it was earned by a man who be-liovod that everyone had a right to be free, free from bondage, discrimination, and pre|udice. On this federal holiday, the nation officially celobrated King's life and achievement. There were still about a dozen stales that did not acknowledge tho holiday largely because it is the only one honoring a black leader. This proves that even though King made great strides in gaining civil rights for Blacks, we still have a long way to go A Disastrous Moment Indelibly Etched Forever in History She would have been the first teachnaut in space; she was going to conduct a class while in orbit But it was not to bo, for Christa McAulifffe and the six other accompanying astronauts.

South Africa: A Question Of Civil Rights By a 78 to 21 vote, the Senate overrode the President's veto of sanctions against South Africa. The House had also previously re)ected it. Although the President claimed to be vehemently opposed to apartheid, and appointed a Black ambassador to South Africa, ho disagreed with the sanctions on the grounds that they would hurt South African Blacks more than the South African government. Meanwhile, the riots got bloodier and more livos wore lost. Major US corporations like Kodak, Shell and IBM. took Congress and began to pull out. of the country. Only time would tell the effect that movo would have Chernobyl’s Three-Mile Island The worst nuclear disaster in history occurred in a Soviet nuclear plant in Chernoblyl this year While everyone expressed concern and sympathy to the Soviets, angor was also present at Russian's delay in announcing the disaster. It took the Soviet government almost a week to release information on the accident; and that came only after radiation alarms in Sweden and lapan went off. Thirty one people were killed in the reactor fire, but due to large amounts of radiation released, as many as 4.000 deaths may eventually occur. Joining Hands For The Homeless The efforts of Milch Snyder were finally rec-ognizod. In May. pooplo began realizing that there were actually homeless people in America. So laymen and media stars came together to join Hands Across America. The idea was simplo: every entrant paid a fee in order to be a part of the human chain extending from los Angeles to Now York. On the day of the evont. the chain resembled long sogmonts; there were some gaps in the line which were connected by ribbon. The overall effect was most important, as millions of dollars were raised. Even though this wouldn't completely eliminate homelessness, it was good start. 86 Year In Review A Shooting Star Burns Out He had everything going for him.

Washington. D C. enacted a new liquor law which stated that all young adults who were not 18 before that date could not drink period. Previously. D.C's drinking age was 18 for boor and wine, that age was now 21 for all alcoholic beverages. The new law. cheered on by organizations like MADD. came as a result of threats by the Reagan administration to reduce federal highway appropriations to states that did not raise thoir drinking age to 21. Swinging To The Right The appointment of Anthony Scaha to the Su-peme Court and William Rehnquist as the courts' chief justice signified that the interpretation of the Constitution would be more conservative. The appointments of these conservatives still leaves the court one vote shy of a conservative majority, but President Reagan has succeeded in considerably changing the court to reflect his opinions and beliefs Reagan and Gorbachev nearly achieved a historic breakthrough on arms control: with heavy cuts in strategic nuclear forces and the elimination of mediun-range missies in Europe. But the Soviets wanted more. Thoy wanted strict limitations on the progress and testing of Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative. Roagan said no to the all-or-none proposal and from there. the progress ceased The barriers of communication were so highly erected that the two leaders could not even agree on a date fo another summit. The only things the Reykjavik summit produced wore ill feelings, a wider lack of communication and world-wide disappointment. In short, more ice was formed on Iceland 88 The Year In Review Not Without Scandal Every past president has had some blemish on his record and Reagan was no exception. In an attempt to bargain for the return of American hostages in Beirut, members of the Reagan administration unbeknown to the American people, struck a deal with the Iranian government: Weapons to Iran, in exchange for American hostage. When tho ontiro deal was uncovered, the public discovered that President Reagan's tough talk on terrorist was simply that. talk. Not only had tha public been misled. but when the whole story was told, some 30 million dollars from the sale of arms to Iran had been directed to Nicaragua to assist that country's government. Unfortunately for the President, the two staff members (Oliver North |ohn Poindexter) who could probably best explain the deceit and refusal to help repair the President's credibility pleaded the fifth amendment.

There were 7.000 pounds of fuel in 17 separate tanks. The cockpit measured 3% by 7% feet. Two people had to fly this plane, aptly named, the Voyager. After initial problems; dragging wings, missing parts and sluggish lift off. the plane made its trip around the world in record time (two days it landed before New Year's Eve when Now Year's Day had been the estimated time of arrival). The pilots. Dick Rutan and |eana Yeager, survived cramped conditions, rationed food and water, and constant. ear-damaginR engine noise to make history. Voyager will therefore go down in the record books as the first plane that made it around the world without stopping to fuel.

AIDS Continues on its Blind Rampage Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) had been a nemesis to homosexuals since the early 1980's. Recently, though, it hit the American public hard because the disease was no longer confined to the homosexual population. Heterosexuals, who had had encounters with homosexuals, drug users, who reused old needles, and hemophiliacs, who needed transfusion, had all been affected. Even though research was being done, a cure was yet to be found for the HTLV-3 virus which cause the disease. The American people were scared. Scared of relationships, suspicious of partners and afraid of the possibility of death. The advertising market largetted all sexual groups to persuade and encourgage the use of condoms. Unfortunately, the facts suggest that the death toll will continue to rise: 15.757 have already died from the disease and this number is expected to rise to 179.000 by 1991. Several celebrities had already succumbed to this dreaded disease in the last year: Perry Ellis, Jerry Smith. Liberace. and Rock Hudson. As one could see. the disease held no quarter, so caution was the operative word of the day. 90 The Year In Review AP WM World Pfco«o The Year In Review That’s Entertainment The ultimate honor for a film is to bo nominated and to win an Oscar.

Steve Win wood. Bruce Hornsby and Robert Palmer had been around for sometime producing and writing for other artists when they finally reached the top of the Billboard Charts with singles and albums of their own. Genesis and Phil Collins reunited to cut one of their best albums yet. Bruce “Bruno Willis of ‘Moonlighting-fame also cut an album and it steadily climbed the charts. If jazz was your forte, then Bob james and David Sanborn’s Double Vision was a must.

From the freshmen who suffered severe pain and sometimes illness from such things as homesickness avoiding deficit spending, cafeteria food and long lines during registration to the seniors who endured the uncertainty of applying to graduate schools, lived for deficit spending (with credit cards) and cut the long lines at registration. The people were as unique and diverse as what the university represented and offered. With each new year came new people, new trends and new growth. A new bill was passed, making any age over 18 the age to be. And androgyny; was the new order of the day. Amid all the new were the older, wiser, graduating seniors who agonized over choosing a graduate school, but who were simultaneously ecstatic to be leaving.

It got more difficult through the four years of college to stay within the limits of the monthly allowance because the older one got. the more there was to be done with that money. Freshman year was usually the least expensive. Freshmen, in an attempt to show some independence from their parents were determined to make their allowance last from month to month. Reggie Young, a freshman. was sure that he could manage on what his parents sent him. Food, phone bills, clothing, and the occasional weekend seemed to be the important expenses. Sophomore year, however, things began to change. Parents stopped paying for any additional expenses, such as magazine subscriptions and club sweatshirts.

Even the name was enticing Some students however, have decided that this was not the case and have gone elsewhere — primarily Howard University Hospital's cafeteria. TVue. the Blackburn cafeteria served as a social center, especially for freshmen, and it was certainly convenient for students who did not have access to cooking facilities, but for some, the Hospital cafeteria was a vary attractive option. Students did know what good food’ was. and what was not. Ian Monroe, a former client of Good Food Services, had plenty to say: Well, good food isn’t greens, sticky-mushy rice, or some mutation of meat. And it isn't recycled chicken that lurnsinto'chef'.sspeciaron Fridays. Disgruntled cafeteria enters were not the only ones Involved in the migration to the hospital cafeteria. According to Sonia Ellisor. I’ve never been on the meal plan. My decision of where to eat came after careful considerations of my options. I wasn't enticed by what our cafetoria offered especially after hearing other students complain. Since I wasn't able to cook for myself. I had a choice between fattening fast foods and the hospital cafeteria. The cafetoria offered more nutritious meals, variety, a pleasant atmosphere and a low price. Not only have students insisted that the food at the hospital cafoterio was better, but prices were much lower. A dinner in Blackburn could cost close to six dollars, but a meal at the Hospital averaged only three dollars. While fast food restaurants were in this range, they offered less nutrients for the money. David Mims, a hotel management major from Greensboro, North Carolina said. I eat here (the hospital) because the food is better and it doatnl coat much. It’s better for you than McDonald's and costs loss.

One Thing Nice About T-shirts Was That There Was No Iron Necessary Dry clean only. Handwash in cool, sudsy water, lay flat to dry. Wash separately; non-colorfast. Taking proper care of one’s clothes could be both time- consuming and expensive, which translated into a hassle Therefore. it was no wonder that stu-donts supplemented their wardrobes with easy care T-shirts. In the early-morning rush, with only seven minutes left to get dressed, the jeans and wrinkled T-shirt were a popular choice. I try not to wear T-shirts until it's necessary. explained freshman Valerie Cummings. “That way. when I am running late or 1 am feeling lazy, there's something to wear. “Which one I wear depends on my mood. was Yvonne Bonner’s rationale. “But I try to save the roally cute ones for when I want to be fly without dressing up. T-shirts were not just lazy-day wear. Many T-shirts also doubled as nightshirts. Especially popular was getting the shirt several sizes too large—just for comfortable sleeping. Kccia McGlothan advocated the big shirts: I buy them too big because they don't ride up in your sleep. During freshman orientation a common occurrence was freshman women asking for extra-large T-shirts so that they would have something else to sleep in. Convenience and ease of care were not the only things that attracted students to T-shirts. The pictures and slogans were also important considerations. On thp Yard, some of the popular T-shirts were those with Black cartoon characters or slogans that were indicative of pride in being Black. Most of these shirts were designed and sold by Kyle Whitley, a senior architecture major who was “always looking for new designs. Trade Washington, a junior from New Jersey, said that she liked to wear Kyle's creations back home because they were unique and she was always being asked where she got them When silk blouses and wool blazers wear out. they find their way to Goodwill or clothing drives. But not T-shirts. They have a higher calling; washing the car or. higher still, on a sibling. by locqucline Bryant Layout by Carolyn Stennett Carlisle A. Sealv Dana L. Shelton Keitha L.

The Bison mascot however is determined to get the crowd involved litterally! We Salute Our 'I vo-Lcgged Mascot With An . . . Ode to the Bison Most bisons are brown This one is blue. They walk on four legs. He walks on two. This is not Sesame Street, nor is it an excerpt from a Ur. Seuss book It is. rather, an ode to the bison with the most school spirit—our mascot. He preferred to be called Mr. Mascot, lending a little dignity to an otherwise difficult and thankless job. “It looks like I’m having fun. but it takes dedication and hard work. he explained. But many would wonder what could be so difficult about keeping the crowd's enthusiasm up and going into the stands to make mischief. “There were no breaks, and 1 also had to go to cheer practice which could be more than eight hours a week.” Mr. Mascot also had to attend cheerleading camps in order to learn how to take control of situations, react to crowd responsos. and help the cheerleaders with their stunts. Despite its uniqueness, no fashion magazine will ever ask Mr. Mascot to model his suit for a full spread Royal blue and white, with an H emblazoned on his chest, it was unmistakable which team he was pulling for. The horns and tail loft no doubt that this creature was a bison—except of course, to the uninformed, who incorrectly labeled him a buffalo. The bulky outfit weighed 15 pounds, and was made even heavier by the high price it carried with it. Kortunately. the school helped out with this cost. Mr. Mascot’s unfailing enthusiasm earned him the honor of being chosen to participate in the National Mascot Championships. along with the mascots from Penn State. Temple University. Notre Dame, and Michigan State. The competition involved the mascot's assisting the cheerleaders and responding to the crowd, just as ho would during a football or basketball game These performances were videotaped and sent to judges. Although Mr. Mascot refused to reveal his identity— 'Il makes the mascot more interesting (and mysterious) — the vibrant personality that lived under the Bison’s horns showed through at every game. Mr. Mascot could always he counted on to add a bit of excitement to even the games that were lost. With a wave of his hoof. Or a nod of his head. Our mascot has shown us Bison spirit isn't dead.

But what did Howard students have? They had thoir bookbags. These bookbags and thoir divcrso contents were as ossential to a stu-dont's life as Batman's trusty But-belt is to him. At tho beginning of the week, the average bookbag. whether it was a designer original, a leather briefcase, or a basic backpack. started out with little more inside than such necessities as required texts, notebooks. and an appointment book. As the week progressed, however, order and efficiency began to deteriorate. Homework assignments that had been returned were stuffed hustily between two books and crept downward during tho wook until thoy reached the bottom of the bag. forgotten and crushed by a calculus book. Magazines of all sorts found their way into some bags. Were they a distraction or just one method to relax during breaks between classes? Both. said one junior, they help me relax by keeping me from studying.” Small things tended to got lost among the books in the bag watches, pons, pencils, candy and gum were just a few things that students foil that bookbags ate for breakfast, only to find at dinnortimn that thpse troublesome articles had settled in the botttom of the bag Money, too. had o way of collecting in book-bags. but it was always a pleasant surprise to empty out the bag and have a couple of dollars come floating out Bookbags were also catch-alls for phone numbers and letters. Suzanne Alexander, a sophomore from Saratoga. California, sighed. “My friend's birthday was in September. I'm still walking around with the cord (in October). I don't even like the card anymore. Bookbags were used as seats, carry-alls, and makeshift dosks. Their usos exceeded thoir original purposes.

Adventurous Students Study Abroad Using 1 he World as Their Campus To many students. England. Spain and France are exotic countries that exist only on postcards. To others, however, foreign countries are a reality in which they have travelled and studied. Overseas study, while it was a rewarding experience overall, had its advantages and disadvantages. Americans in non-English speaking countries provided the residents of that country with the opportunity (they believed) to practice their English. Unfortunately, the students were not willing to accommodate their quest for belter English. Jacqueline Cason, a senior who studied at the University of Madrid inSpain. said that she would ignore those who tried to speak English with her. ‘I didn’t go there to spoak English, she added. There were times, however. when English would have been welcome: in American films, for instance. Deitre Allen, who saw Ghostbusters in French said. “It just wasn't that funny.” Studying was another matter. Carole Gumbs spent one academic year at the London School of Economics and Political Science. According to her. the work was much more difficult than she expected and English students took their work much more seriously. One would havo to be serious since there wasonly one exam during the school year. Programs in the non-English streaking countries were demanding, too. but onco tho language was mastered it was not so bad. explained Gin Wigfall who studied in Portugal for two months and in Spain for four months Blatant racism was more of a problom. she continued, especially In Toledo (Spain). But after a while you learn to deal with it. overlook it. It really isn’t much different from some parts of the United States. lacqueline Cason agreed although she claimed to have boon unaware of some of the prejudice until it was pointed out to her. Travelling abroad also offered students the chance to sightsee in other countries as well; with European travel so inexpensive this was a must. Although lacqueline Cason spoke neither French nor Portugese, she visited Switzerland and Portugd), alone. “Traveling alono is tho best way. she said. Gia Wigfall (con't.) David E. Lee Rodney L.

Hitch-hiking in Europe was also popular and Deitre Allen hitchhiked from Lille. France to Pnr-is-about 150 miles with a French friend during the year she spent there. We made a sign with air American flag on it and the word Paris. A trucker picked us up and even though he was not going into Paris, he got on his C.B. to find us a ride. she said. The bright scenes on the postcards sent from these countries do not adequately display the beauty of the people, the cities, or the countryside. The hastily written messages on these cards: Never want to return’ only add to that inadequacy, and to the receiver’s imagination. By lacqueline Bryant Layout by Lesa Walker Vicki K. McGill Zina M.

ATMS Prov'ided Students With .. . Rasy Money I've got to make it to the bank before it closes exclaimed Broke Bertha as she zoomed across campus. Resisting temptations to chat with friends or to stop at nearby vendors. Broke Beitha was confident that she would arrive before the bank closed. As she pulled on the door that refused to budge, she discovered she was loo late. Oh no. she sighed, “If only I had a way of obtaining money after bank hours, my money worries would be over.” Accessing one’s finances often caused twisted and distraught facos within the student population. Fortunately, some students had bank accounts with which came access to various Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) located throughout the city. Through these machines. transactions ranging from inquires on checking and savings accounts to bill payments could be made. Most importantly money could be withdrawn within minutes and with very little complication One advantage of ATMs was the amount of time saved. Said Pam Mitchell, an International Business major from New Jer- sey. “My schedule is so hectic with classes and extracurricular activities that the last place I want to be is in a long line. Other students agreed with this statement. Stanley Guyton, a junior from Maryland, commented. “After waiting in a line for one hour and becoming irate. 1 vowed never to stand in another bank line. An additional advantage of the ATM was that it allowed the busy student to circumvent inconvenient banking hours. Said Veronica Hege-man. a French major from California. “It's almost impossible to make it to the bank without sacrificing a class. It's a necessity for me to use an ATM. An additional cost could always be found in a luxury. With some banks, there were servico charges that ranged from fifty cents to a dollar. Olga Austin, a senior Microbiology major said. I try not to use the ATM. instead I go to the bank during banking hours to avoid the extra charge. To some students like Carolyn Stennett. a junior Chemistry major, the service charge was not a problem. “The charge really doesn't matter to me because most of the time I really need the money (con't.)

I have to go to the other side of town which takes time and cost money. Another disadvantage to using ATMs was that many students were unaware of the deductions from their account for the transactions. Said Kim Cartor a freshman from Tennessee. “I was unaware of the deductions taken from my account. No wonder my checkbook was never accurate. Whether to obtain an ATM card was up to the individual. However, one must be sure that one knew the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing this service. Without accurate information. a student could find himself in a financial “hole” before he graduated. For whatever reason, be it groceries, school supplies or entertainment. ATMs provided instant cash, so that all wants and needs would be. acccssiby yours. by Val Cummings Layout by Andrea White As Gregory Ni kolson and l.isa Caldwell anticipated receiving cash from the ATM. they are mel by a broken machine. r-------------------- Craig H.

Tucked away in a corner of the first level of the Blackburn Center, the Polling Pole may have been overlooked by some students. Said Alan Ryan, a Pharmacy maior “I noticed it when I saw another student working the machine. It looked interesting so I tned it out for myself. Bo assured, the Polling Pole was not merely a spacefilling object or a decorative piece of furniture. It conducted surveys on college students throughout the nation. The Polling Pole was sponsored jointly by Newsweek magazine and Unitod Press International. Said Roberta McLeod. Director of the Blackburn Center. It was originally established for a trial period to see if students would respond. It has boon here for three years “ Entitled “Newsweek on Campus.' the survey asked questions ranging from politics to moral beliefs to opinions on pressing societal issues. Some of the questions asked were “Do you drink? and “Have you ever used drugs?’1 Said McLeod, “The answers that the students provido ore used in national surveys We send tho completed disks to New York and they in turn, send a computer print out with the categorical percentages determined from the answers. We can also poll our own campus, and participation is not limited to students “ Eventually. Newsweek hopes to distribute Polling Poles on campuses nationwide “The affiliate company contacted us because we are the major Black University in the D.C. area. informed McLood.

CO-OPs Provided A Good Excuse to Miss School At the disappearance of a familiar face, rumors begin to fly. A few are good, fewer are bad. and even less are true After a semester long absence. i sample of rumors could rango from I heard she got married No, got pregnant. No. worse, got kicked out on A.P.! to he just couldn't afford school anymore or he said he was just tirod of school. While many of these masons were false, few people ever bothered toconsidor CO-OPs as another legitimate reason for someone's semester-long leave. Cooperative Education oxper-ciences (CO-OPs) provided students in engineering, business, communications and some sci-«Vnco fields with the opportunity to work fulltime in thei r field and increase their marketability while earninga regular salary and college credit. Tho difference between “CO-OPs and internships is that the latter are usually summer jobs lasting three to four months. CO-OPs. however, usually last for 6 months, lanuary to lune or August to December and require that a student take a semester off from school. Tim Kimsey. an electrical en- gineering major from Philadel-pia. Pennsylvania, has “CO-OPed more than once with the Naval Air Development Center in War Minister. Pennsylvania. Kimsey said. 'CO-OPs' worked to my advantage because I could work at the same place for an extended period of time and gain experience. Most engineering CO-OPs were made available to students through the School of Engineering Office and the Office of Career Planning and Placement. One attractive prospect in CO-OPing was that most companies which offered COOP programs paid the college students healthy salaries. Damon Thomas a senior from Indianapolis, Indiana who (COOP) with both tho National Starch and Chomical Corporation and Quemotco RSR. said “I earned the same salary as someone who had been hired for a regular position. he contended 1 was actually doing work and was not given menial tasks.

Ian Griffin organizes government documents before entering Ihcm into the computer os part of his CO-OP program. Before students accepted CO-OP'sthey usually had to wrestle with the decision of taking a semester off from school. Corey Sully, a junior majoring in finance said, 'missinga semester might put me behind and take mo out of the swing of things academically. That’s why I would rather intern over the summer. On the other hand. Kimsey looked at taking time from school in a positive light. He said, “little break here and there relaxes my mind.' Since competition was stiff in the job market after graduation. “CO-OPs provided many students an opportunity to have an extra edge over other college graduates. While prolonging graduation by taking a semester off to work is considered a sacrifice for many, the sacrifice today could translate into a gain in the long-run. CO-OPing prevented students from graduating on time.” but making money and gaining valuable work experience (was) a good excuse (to) miss school. by Charisse Killian Layout by Elaine Smith Francesca H.

Student Researchers Are MARCing A Spot For The Future A headstart! This was what the Minority Access Research Careers Program offered its participants. MARC, an honors program for students interested in psychology or the sciences, allowed students research opportunities that helped them prepare for future careers. MARC’s year round program had its students engaged in research under an advisor, attending meeting1; in their field and presenting papers at profes-sional meetings for other MARC scholars. The MARC program which had been in existence for seven years was established through the efforts of university trustee Dr. Geraldine P. Woods. The program existed to interest minority students in becoming involved in research careers in their respective fields. It was opon to U.S. citizens with a 3.0 or better grade point average, majoring in botany, microbiology. chemistry, mathematics. Con’t. Lucinda L. Johnson. Acr-ounlmg Margie M. Johnson.

Those students in psychology were under a division of t he program called ADAMHA. Alcohol. Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration. For those students in the sciences. their research training was sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. Research was a significant part of the program. For example Paul lohnson IV. a zoology student in MARC, conducted rosearch on functional antigens: while Anthony Smith, a junior MARC student, spent his research and lab hours experimenting on the cause of birth defects in humans. MARC participants were well compensated for their participation in the program. They received a stipend of $5,009. tuition and regular fees as well as a travel allowance of $500.00 to attend professional meetings. Tracy Epps, a psychology major and MARC student, said, “the Stipend made the program all worthwhile. Yet she added, “the benefits of the program are more than just financial since it provided invaluable research experience. by I.inda James and Charisse Killian Michael W. Jordan. Micro. Sandra K.

VVcndall Perry manages to find a way around this confusion through organization. Board Exams and accept them as... A Price to Pay for Success The prestige which comes with professional occupations in medicine and dentistry is not endowed without many years of study and preparation. One of the many stumbling blocks on the pathway to a successful future for aspiring physicians and dentists is the medical or dental board exams. The purpose of the examinations is to selectively allow, on the basis of written test performance, only the most qualified students to enter the professional world, but it has been argued that standardized testing cannot effectively measure one's working capabilities. Phelgar Washington, a twenty-six year old 4th year medical school student retrospectively recalled the curriculum in medical school and related it to the board exams. He said. “During the first two years of medical school we covered the basic sciences. Knowledge of these basic sciences was tested in part one of the exam. The third year of medical school, which is the clinical core, was covered in part two. The first section covered physiology, pathology, anatomy, behavioral sciences. and microbiology. The second part had questions relating to surgery, obstetrics gynecology. psychiatry, and pediatrics. Washington felt that his courses at the Medical School prepared them adequately for the test, but he also found it necessary to take personal initiative and re-viow notes from his first two years of medical school. Stanley Kaplan notes, and toxtbooks. Albert Grainger, a twenty-five year old dental school student talked about the dental hoard exams. He explained. “Every student had to take the board exams. The fee for this was included in our tuition so it was a requirement to take the test. We couldn't graduate without passing it! The exam covered anatomy, physiology, biochemistry. histology, microbiology. pathology, and it lasted two days. Grainger wont on to stress the importance and need for preparation by saying. “The exam was of such grave importance that our first two years of dental school were preparation for passing the boards.

He stated. “The classes usually prepared students, but sometimes professors emphasized the wrong things. It was up to us as students to tell the professors so they wouldn't repeat that mistake of stressing material that was not covered on the tests, but that was rare. The professors were generally prepared. Students in pursuit of degrees in medicine and dentistry realized the importance of the board exams. Although a written. multiple choice test could hardly measure the potential of on individual to perform in all aspects of the profession, it could give scale of comparison between students nation-wide in their comprehension of scientific material necessary for their occupational functioning. In spite of the anxieties and the many hours, days, and weeks needed for preparation, students worked diligently to perform successfully. Perhaps it was the old “No pain, no gain mentality that pulled them through, or maybe they just accepted it as the price they had to pay for success. by Sherri Milner Layout by Andrea White Preparing for medical boards is not just reading, but also studying leaf after leaf of slides, as Jeffrey Meeks shows.

Co-Ed Visitation Allowed for Social Interaction After Hours Freshman year. The Quad. The scramble, the rush, the lines at the front desk at 10:50pm as female residents hurried to sign their male guests out before their identities were blared across the P.A. system due to their delay in saying goodbye lo their guests. “Why can't we have visitation until 2:00 am on weekends like everyone else, or even til 11:00“ one resident was heard to moan. “My parents allow my guests to stay at my house later than this! grumbled another. The cries never changed and neither had the rules, for co-cd visitation. In freshman dormitories like Drew Hall and the Tubman Quadrangle, visitation hours were from 2-11:00 and 2-10:50 respectively, on weekdays. On weekends the hours for Drew Hall (an all male dorm) wore extended to 2:00 am. The students themselves voted on their visitation rights said York C Campbell Ir. Assistant Dean of Residence Life. However according to Tossa Murphy, a freshman from North Carolina, and a resident of the Quad. “We were never allowed to choose the hours, we were simply al- lowed to vote yes or no for visitation. Valerie Gray residence counselor of the Quad stated. “To the best of my knowledge the visitation hours were set a few years ago by the Board of Trustees. 1 agree with those hours since these young ladies are new to the area and need to get adjusted. The fact that most girls have a roommate also poses a problem with privacy. Other dormitories had a similar co-ed visitation policy. In upperclassmen dorms like Sutton. Eton and Park Square visitation hours also went from 2-11:00 (or 2:00 am on weekends). Tho reasoning here was that many of the rooms in these dorms housed 3 or 4 residents and extensive visitation hours would tend to disrupt at least one residents' privacy or study time. Since Park Square and Eton were single sexed dorms, visitation was more easily enforced than in Sutton Plaza (a co-ed dorm). According to Kevin Killian. a resident of Sutton, “ft's easy for residents to slip guests in since the porson at the front desk was unaware of exactly who all the residents were. Still, other dorms had a more Con't Jennifer Parker. Math Bio. Linda Parks. Computer Info Mack Paschal. Marketing Lisa Patrick. Microbiology Bridgette Payne. Klee. Eng Amelia Payton.

It's an adult way of treating young adults. she added. Apparently those most pleased with the visitation rules were those residents with 24 hour visitation policies. Until all donns affected a change to this system the moans and grumbles would continue. There was however hope for the unhappy.

Luckily several study guides are available in the bookstore to assist grad school applicants. Getting Into Graduate School Required Seniors to Begin Applying Themselves Aaahh. Senior year. Regarded by underclassmen as a charmed, care-free year of nothing to do and dreams of graduation. This is a myth. If it were true, there would be no seniors wandering around with perplexod. “will it end? expressions on their facos. The cause of this worry? For many it was the process of applying to graduate school, which was described by one senior as. � !, the unprintable. It all began with the entrance exams which sounded like a walk down alphabet lane. DAT. GMAT. MCAT. GRE. AND LSAT; the accompanying preparatory classes, and of course, the fee. The cost of preparation courses usually started at $100 with the actual testing foes ranging from $28.00 to $120.00 After stressful and intensive preparation, applicants had earned the right to sweat through exams that ranged in time from 4 to 12 hours. These exams were designed to test ones knowledge in various areas including tho sciences, writing, reasoning and some cases perceptual ability. Com- menting on the exam Caroline Holiday who took the DAT’s said. “On the perceptual ability test we had 50 minutes to do 90 problems. Some of these problems required listing in increasing size angles that differed about 2 to 3 degrees in size! What was bad was that I couldn't use any kind of mea-suring device. Not that I even had the time. After the exams, came the long, agonizing wait for the scores. “The longer I waited, the more nervous I got about my performance. explained Paula Gunther. Upon receipt of the scores came another step; submitting all of the proper application forms and essays with the appropriate signatures. This was both time-consuming and expensive. First the expense. The application fees had to be paid. Fees varied depending on the number of schools to which one applied. In some cases this fee was paid to an application processing service like A AD-SAS; (American Association of Dental Schools Application Service) or to the individual Con’t. Claudine A. Sherwood.

For Whom The Alma Mater Rings... It Rings for Thee It's early on a typical Friday. The weekend is here or will be in a matter of hours. Scurrying to class, some glance up and a little smile plays across their features Others pass the time away, wailing and watching every movement it makes. Finally, as if on cue. a sweet, melodic song begins to chime, the yard is flooded with people in all colors and Friday on the yard is official. The alma mater has played, let tho stepping begin. The Founder's clock is a symbol of what this university represents: unity, academics, and achievement. It's our history, lust as it stand so majestically over the campus, it makes us stand out among the crowd. Commented twenty-one year old Maureen Stapleton from Detroit. Michigan. It is probably the most beautiful thing on campus because it symbolizes the history and struhble of Blacks. Hearing the music chime evokes memories of pest accomplishments, but also of present ones. Said West Indian-born Ann Martin, twenty-one. The clock reminds m of why I came here and not the University of Florida. which is predominantly white Every time I see or hear it. I'm reminded of the opportunities I have to learn more about mysolf by learning our history I’m also re- minded of my potential to contribute something worthwhile to our race The office of Physical Facilities performs tho maintenance on our historical monument Said Foreman Thomas Frahn. John Morgan, the master electrician and I make sure tho clock keeps proper time when we lose or gain an hour. The lights that everyone sees at X-rnas we put up right after Thanksgiving and take them down immediately after we return: and the music you hear comes from a cassette which is placed in the new electronic mechanism. We can then program it to play what we want, when we want. The clock has existed since tho library was erected in 1937 and tho old clock had a public announcement system, but it has been updated to meet the rise in technical advancements. It is a landmark in our history It proudly surveys the campus with majestic dignity. Said nineteen year old Suzanne Alexander. “The clock helps to remind me that this is a serious university because it stands out above everything lust as it stands, we stand; and when it rings, we should stop, reflect and sing its praises. by M.

Founder’s Library 149 IV arner Looking Toward the Future Usually solves the problem of what to major in “Above all. practicality. was the admonition of many parents to their college-bound child on choosing a major. More and more students have listened to their parents and are majoring in subjects that have market value, or that they are good at. but not necessarily a subject they like. “I had decided that I wanted to go to law school and was told that my best bet was to major in political science. I hate political science, but I did it any way. admitted Stan Williams Trying to get to where they want to he was a key consideration in choosing a major. In addition to that, parents oxerted a good deal of influence on the selection process. “Part of me wanted to be a dancer, and part of me wonted to be a doctor. My parents convinced me that being a doctor would make more sense, bo more practical. explained one freshman woman. Billy jones. a chemistry major, stated that he wanted to be a doctor. “I chose to major in chemistry because I think zoology is boring and. if I decide against medical school. I’ll have many more options open to me than I would If I majored in zoology.” On the other hand Freva Cooper, who also wished to go to medical school majored in microbiology. She said. I chose micro because I thought I'd enjoyed that more than chemistry, which I find abstract. There wore those, however, who really enjoyed their majors and chose them for that reason. Cheryl Alleyne. a graduating architecture student from Trinidad and Tobago rationalized her choice by saying. You really have to like architecture to major in it. I wanted to design buildings, especially in third-world environments. Serena Haynesworth insisted that she was majoring in computer science because it was fun “It's like a big game. I chose it for the fun not for the money or the popularity. Regardless of what the biggest factor was in choosing a major, (be underlying thoughts wore the same; to major in something that would have some impact on future goals. It seemed that choosing the career came first and then choosing a major that would offoct that end. Students, in looking for something to occupy the present. cast an eye to the future for clues. by lacquoline Bryant layout by Sonia Murray lournalism major Robert Frclow gain valuable experience in hi field workins at the Hilltop.

When there is a gap between the amount of money on hand and the total amount of fees, it is often necessary to investigate options such as scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study programs. Unfortunately, the Gramm-Kudman gremlin stole money from the university's budget, making competition for those awards even stiffen This caused longer lines at the Financial Aid office, as distribution of aid slowed to a trickle. Verification was the new word on campus and quickly became a bad one Applications for scholarships, work-study. Pell grants, and the once-guar-antced Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) came under closer scrutiny because of budget cutbacks Theoretically, the program required that selected applications be vorfiod-chocking every answer on the application. If all the responses cleared, and the students application had been approved for aid. the student received some assistance. though perhaps not as much as had been requested. Verification was supposed to take 6-12 weeks, but many students who filled out applications had heard nothing from Financial Aid by the middle of November. One junior added. The Financial Aid Office asked me to submit my mother's income tax records at least 3 times. 1 never could understand why 1 was constantly asked to supply the same material repeatedly Because of this delay, some students found thomsclves trying to come up with tuition money that they did not really have. My parents just went ahead and paid for this (full) semester. but we don't really have that money. explained junior Tawanda Godwin. If my financial aid package doesn't come through for the spring semester. I really don't know whatl'll do’’, she added. Other studonts decided to wait until their financial aid was approved.but in the event that they recoivod no award before the end of the semester. they had to pay the fees for the fall before they were allowed to register for the spring semester.

I'm still optimistic Although financial aid did exist, getting it could prove treacherous. The options for meeting financial obligations ranged from the unsavory to the whimsical, and were probably less effective, but finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow or a spot marked X certainly would not hurt. by lacqueline Bryant.

Perhaps even too convenient. Said Maureen Stapleton. 21. from Detroit. Michigan. I like them because if I want to make a major pruchese. I don’t have to have all the cash at once; I can break up the payments over a extended period of lime. But unfortunately. I abuse them In general, they arc good when used, in moderation, but for me who has little control she paused and added with a chuckle, I'm hooked. Using plastic money is an addiction. Using credit was definitely habit forming, and for one who had no willpower when it came to that “cute little sweater. they had no trouble finding a sales clerk Twenty-three year old Usa Caraway commented, when you have a job. It's fine because you have regular money to pay the bills. But when you're unemployed and you still charge things, it can mess up your credit history' if the bills aren’t paid regularly. So the next time you're out shopping, think before you buy that gold chain, those new shoos, or those Air Iordans. You may have the credit, but do you huve the cash? If the answer is no to cash and willpower, run don't walk to the nearest counter that has a pair of scissors and cut your problems in half If that choice is not acceptable. then spend, spend, spend.

International Students Made the US A Home Away From Home International students from as far away as Africa. Trinidad, and Barbados, boarded planes on their journey to Washington. D.C. to attend college, where entirely new lifestyle, climate, and culture awaited them. Like other new entrants they too were concerned with making new friends and not getting home sick; but they also had to adjust to a now culture. “Culture shock” was what Heather Leslie, a third year student from Jamaica, said about coming here. Americans do things so differently than what wc do in the West Indies. she explaimed. Specifically. Leslie stated American attitudes about everything, such as homosexuality are so liberal. Leslie added. West Indians have a different kind of morality when it comes to male-female relationships than do Americans. For example couples in the West Indies tend to stick together, through hard times ond arc not as prone to divorco as quickly as Americans. There were a number of measures taken to make the transi- tions for international students smooth ones The office of International Student Services provided counseling information on financing an education, and other types of assistance to students. According to Barry Bern, director of the office. “A major problem among international students was financing their college educations. Most students who were United States citizens or permanent residents could receive federal financial assistance; whereas most international students did not meet qualifications for receiving federal financial aid, as they were residents of their native countries and did not wish to change their residency to the United States tries. These students could however work in the university work program or apply for University scholarships. Leslie added, many students strive to get high grade point averages in hopes of qualifying for University scholarships.

Students were able to socially interact with others from their native countries. Suzette Scipio of Trinidad said. 1 made many new friends in the association, making friendsat the university was easy because most people were attracted by my West Indian accent.

Unfortunately, the process that narrowed the applicants down to the final 62 was misunderstood by many applicants including those who were chosen Soon after the selections were announced it was not uncommon to hear. My friend has a 3.64 and didn't make it but lane Doe make it with a 2 97. 1 don't understand.’ .Sandra Coleman, who was on the selection committee explained: “Everything is assigned a point value: GPA. leadership positions, community work and awards. That is how someone with a 3.0 but lots of community service and awards could be chosen over someone with a 3.8 who really has not done anything but study. And who assigns these point values? Well, the selection committee, which was comprised of faculty and students who were appointed to represent all schools and colleges. divided itself into scvoral smaller groups in order to make decisions. All of the applications are evaluated by each group: if there were three groups, each application received three scores which were given to Yolanda King in the Office of Student Activities who submitted the top 62 names to the Who's Who council for approval. Those 62 students joined the tradition of 53 years of Who's Who In American Universities and Colleges. In commemoration. honorecs received a certificate. a copy of the 53rd edition of Who's Who. and free use of the Who's Who Reference Ser- vice for finding employment, fellowships, and admission to voluntary services. In addition, they were honored in the yearbook and by the President at the annual Who’s Who Luncheon. Damian Rouson. a Who's Who recipient, expressed this about his award: I think that the selection process is really based on ability, inspitc of the fact that some seemingly deserving people did not make it. For those who did not make it. however, feelings were less complimentary One student spoke for herself and her friends when she said. “I really think it has to do more with who is on the committee that knows you than anything else. Despite the confusion and bad feelings surrounding the selection process. Who’s Who's importance was not diminished. Even though some qualified students did not even apply, the fortunate 62 did sorvo as an answer to the question.

The university bloomed with the addition of its eighteenth school. There were increased attempts to make the Black community more involved in organ donation at the hospital. The School of Engineering participat- ed in Star Wars research while the new School of Continuing Education assisted the adult community in obtaining a degree via television or computer. The university officially came of age and met the challenge of providing quality education, in addition to expanding its sphere of influence across the community. the nation, and the world.

The intriguing picture on tho television screen is an instructor from our university teaching his course to television viewers. While this scenario has not actually happened, sometime in the future it will bo possible to toko classes by way of telecommunications channels linked with classes here at our university. The new School of Continuing Education, the latest addition to the university, brings the number of schools and colleges to eighteen and makes it easier for students to receive instruction from remote locations. The Board of Trustees approved the addition of the School of Continuing Education in April 1986. Though the new school is still in the developmental stages, concrete plans have already boon made. The school will seek to attract community college graduates, persons upgrading professional skills, the handicapped, the elderly, and university alumni who want to take additional college courses. The unique feature about the school is that it allows these student’s to select from more than 450 credit courses currently offered in the other schools and colleges at the university and take these courses in the courses offered by the School of Continuing Education might be a viable option Students can register for a majority of undergraduate courses in liberal arts, business, communications, education. fino arts, human ecology, divinity. and social work In addition, more than 120 graduate courses will be offered. Dean Edwards anticipates that the new school will be fully operational by tho Kali of 1987. Presently interested persons can register for classes by telephone. While the School of Continuing Education is currently located at the Howard Inn. it will soon relocate to the Randolph Street Campus. where the Divinity School is located. The new School of Continuing Education will work to oxpand the university’s educational facilities as well as substantially increase student enrollment. The course offerings, along with the dissemination of this information through advanced technology. should allow a vast amount of knowledge in a variety of areas to reach people in unparalleled numbers. Sometime in the future, students will be able to take college courses from the comfort of their own homes. by Charisse Killian Layout by Elaine Smith O evening and on weekends. Additionally. tho new school will venture into the world of telecommunications and broadcast a variety of challenging courses via our own television station. WHMM. and radio station WHUR-FM. Of course, none of the ambitious plans of the School of Continuing Education can be inacted without competent leadership. The administration did not have to look for to find such a leader. The administration appointed Dr C.'ecile H. Edwards, former Dean of the School of Human Ecology, as the new school’s Dean. She is positive about the new school’s possibilities and emphasizes that it “will allow Howard to address a vast new clientele of part-time adult learners and distant learners. The new school's programs will reach students far beyond the Washington area. In a cooperative effort with the University's office of Satellite Communications, the school has long range plans of sharing educational programs with other traditionally black colleges and institutions throughout the nation. However, at present, the Dean is concentrating her efforts on tho school making a positive impact on campus.

That first was only the beginning for the newlv established Transplant Center, and the success of that operation was an omen for the Center's future In the early '70‘s. Dr Lasalle Leffall and Dr Burke Svphax determined that all areas of surgery needed to be represented in order for the hospital's surgery department to be comprehensive. Lufall arranged for Dr. Clive Callender to go to Minnesota for transplant training. Callender returned to Washington with new skills and a renewed sense of dedication, which quickly infused the rest of the hospital staff The first transplant patient. Leftridge. would have been considered a poor risk in any other hospital, but Callender and his colleagues saw a need to treat all treatable Black patients The most outstanding contribution this group made to the transplant field was the establishment of heroin addict as a safe transplant group Dr |oel Stevens, associate director of the Transplant Center, and acting director in Dr. Callender's absence, stated. “The biggest challenge is getting enough organs for all who need them, but the challenge of getting Blacks to donate organs is greater. In 1980 the Center realized that there were two ways to deal with the shortage of donor organs they could rationalize it away, or they could, with better information and pursuit, get more organs, since the organs of brain-dead people are either transplanted or buried. “They went for the second option. There was a pilot project with members of psychiatry staff to conduct a poll that would pinpoint reasons why people are hesitant about organ donations. They found four problems: 1) lack of awarenoss about donation. 2) religious beliefs about “dismembering . 3) most wanted to be sure that the kidnoy was go- ing to another Black person, and 4) distrust of the medical community. Dr. Stevans was quick to point out that though those reasons wore not peculiar to the Black community, they were predominant there Many solutions to this problem have been pul into practice in the DC. area Among them are the D.C. Organ Donor Project with the Kidney Foundation, involving clergymen, as role models to speak and show their own donor cards, and using the mass media to educate the public. All of this has been combined with programs for the prevention of renal (kidney) disease, primarily controlling hypertension, which is the 1 cause of kidney disease among Blacks. The Transplant Center has begun to explore transplanting other organs Dr. Callender took a sabbatical to study the transplantation of livers, and hoped to establish a liver transplant program upon his relum. In addition. HUH was a member of the area's Heart Transplant Consortium which was grouped to share the resources needed to transplant hearts at the member hospitals Although there has been an increase in willingness to donate. Stevens was confident that with more information. donations would grow even more. He explained that donation was simple. “All that is needed is to fill out a donor card, or have it pul on the driver's license. Even if that wish to donate by the deceased is apparent. the next-of-kin are still asked for permission. And if you change your mind, tear up the card. It is that simple. With increasing technology and renewed efforts to acquire organs, the University's Hospital continued to make great strides in the area of organ transplant.

Because of tho common interest humans had in how and why they react certain ways, the experiments gained popularity on campus The experiments covered three basic areas. Dr Harrell of the psychology department did work surrounding personality and physiological reactions. For example, students may have been given particular questionnaires whereby the nature of the questions were expected to stimulate a certain physiological response such as an increased heart beat rate. Dr. King did many experiments dealing with perception in which students' perception was measured based on the time It took them to recognize a set of objects. Stephanie Cosey. a Broadcast |our-nalism major, participated in a perception experiment. She said. I had to look at a screen where people were mouthing sounds and try to guess what they were saying ' Dr Sloan was active in the area of social psychology in that he dealt with a persons' response to social factors. Undergraduate and graduate students conducted the experiments under the guidance and supervision of the forementioned professors with hopes of publication. Undergraduate students who enrolled in Introduction to Psychology served as subjects for the research; with extra credit points a an incentive. Dr. Kingstated.'The experiments are a good experience for the students. They're something that they will always remember. I still remember the experiments that I was a subject for many years ago!

Q uality Care The Howard University Student Health Service was committed to providing the most comprehensive health program available to college students. On staff were two family practice physicians, a psychiatrist. a dermatologist, a social worker, two OB- GYN nurse practitioners, and three physician's assistants all dedicated to furnishing an efficient medical service to which students may come for assistance and be assured of individual treatment and confidential management. The Student Health Center treated all students who were insured by the university. Upon enrollment, students were automatically authorized medical care after payment of initial health fee of $100.00. The Health Center in an attempt to meet student needs extended its operating hours from 8:00-0:00. If a student got ill after-hours there arc few alternatives he could take. Within a 35 miles of Howard University Hospital, one could go there to receive medical care. If outside this area, one could gel emergency transportation to any facility. but there are limits on the amounts that the university would pay. There were olso three infirmaries located in Cook Hall. Frazier Hall, and Meridian Hall that could be utilized by the student body. Col. McClain Garrett was the administrator of health services. He said “the center's philosophy is to administer quality rare to students that is timely, accessible, and given with dignity. Unfortunately. many students disagreed with the application of that philosophy-specificallv the “timely pari. Students repeatedly complained about the 1V4-2 hour wait at the Health Center before being examined. Col. Garrett agreed that the wait was longer than it should be. He attributed this to sovoral factors explained that he was constantly looking for ways to reduce the waiting time. He stated that one problem was 60% of the students who come to the center could handle their problems themselves if they could learn more about basic health care “ He. therefore, planned to hire a Health Educator. Despite the complaints heard from the students, the center offered a wide range of services at a greatly reduced price. In 198-1 the Women's Health Clinic was added. According to Colonel McGarrelt.“Many of the students that come to the health center for assistance were women with gynecological concerns: we therefore saw the need for a women's clin- ic. The clinic offered counseling. gynecological examinations and birth control services (to men as well as women) In addition to this clinic, there was a psychiatric program that offered counseling for students having mental and emotional problems due to genetic inheritance or tension and anxiety. Through the health service one could also attain dental services at the University's dental school With a referral from the health center, free cleanings, offered fillings and even ortho-donic work (at a reduced price) were available. In addition to the services given. Dermatology and orthopedic services were also, all medications prescribed at the center were available at the university's pharmacy at a reduced price, if not for free. This was a service not offered at many are or nationwide universities. Colonel McGarretl encouraged students to express their dissatisfaction with the center, and more importantly to utilize the facilities offered. inspite of the problems one may have encountered. the health center still provide good, varied medical care at low cost to the student. by Sherri Milner Layout by Kellyn McGee While most students complain about the long wait at the Health Outer, there were little complaints to be heard about the Health Center's Pharmacy.

Campbell’s Undergraduate Teachor Education Program’s goal was to add to those shrinking numbers. This program provided aspiring teachers with the opportunity to strengthen their skills they had learned by using them in real classrooms as student teachers. People who entered the program without having majored in education; majoring for instance in music, art or physical education must take courses in addition to the thirtoon weeks of fulltime student teaching to be certified as teachers. Elementary education majors worked in elementary schools, while secondary education majors taught in junior high or high schools. The student teaching was part of the certification process in D C., which followed the National Association of Student Toachrrs Education Certification process. During the thirteen week student teaching period, there were seminars every two weeks to improve skills. Lessons that were to be taught were discussed with both the cooperative instructor (the class's regular teacher) and the method instructor (at the university). Dr. Campbell saw each student 3-5 times a week; but as the semester wore on. the student became more independent. and planned and executed their lessons with less assistance. Experiences varied, but were usually rewarding. Ac- cording to Yvonne |nhnsa so-nior elementary education major, when you first start teaching, the children are a little difficult. Most of them have brothers and sisters who are your age. so they see you as a sibling, however, when they got adjusted to you and realized that you are in charge, they gave you the respect that they gave the regular instructor. “The original charter of the University was for theology and teaching and preaching. Dr. Campbell explained. He has tried to maintain the original concept by continuing to turn out teachers, and those are well qualified. “Most states require the National Teachers' Exam. Our students score very high and we require that they take it. In ad- dition. our students have four years of field experience. which is more than most. The only hitch in the program was that, as a private university, these students could not be certified here; they must go to the University of Maryland, a representative of the state. Campbell was optimistic about the placement of his students because of both the shortage of teachers and the need for more minority teachers. The program certainly fulfilled one of the original intentions of the university, and did it well.

TheSpeerh and Hearing Clinic .1 division of the School of Communication served to provide the university and its surrounding community with various speech and hearing services to produce effective communicators. The Clinic served two major purposes. as an educational tool for students in the field of speech pathology, and as a source of assistance for community members It offered various services; among them were therapy for stuttering, dysphagia (a swallowing disorder) dysloxia, poor articulation and language delay: as well as treatment for stroke victims and multiple handicapped children i.e. those with cerebral palsay or spina bifida. Clinic director. Glen Baquet stressed the impact of poor language skills, especially in children. “When children first onter school, they are evaluated on the basis of language expression. Children who are unable to ado- Using a model of the head.

He continued, our primary goal is to assist children with speech or hearing disorders to get into the least restrictive educational environment. The services of the clinic were available to the student body for free and to the community for varying prices The standard fee scale was that of other area Speech and Hearing agencies. This fee was less than that of most private practitioners. A sliding fee scalo was available for clients in a certain income level: and a token fee scale could be arranged for those patients below the income level of the sliding fee scale Said Baquet The services given here are providod by the students under the supervision of extensively trained professionals. This by no means affects the service given out. In fact, tho quality received Hearing le la are given to students as writ at the community's school aged children Cathy Burrow raises her hand in response to the sound she hears. here is equal to if not better than any facility private or otherwise in the area “ The rlinic also went a step beyond therapy for disorders.

Added Baquet. we teach them code switching, that is how to speak in one environment and then to switch to another typo of speech depending on that environment. The clinic therefore offered varying services, both therapuetic and otherwise.

Recently researhers have been investigating the medication demerol. a pain reliever for sickle cell anemia. Dr Joseph Adir. a professor of pramaceutics in the Pharmacy School, is engaged in a research project which will hopefully aid doctors in prescribing more precise dosages of demerol for each patients’ specific needs. Adir’s pharmacokinetics project, in simple terms, is one where he is trying to determine how much and at what rate the body absorbs demerol. He is also testing to determine the rate of which the body excretes demerol. Adir said. “Many doctors are learv as to the dosage of demerol given to patients that will alleviate their pain.” He continued, “the re- sults of the research should produce guidelines to help doctors decide if a higher or lowor love) of domorol is needed for their patients. Additionally, with the results of his research, doctors should be able to determine how often the drug should be given to keep the needed concentration level in the patients body. In a collaborative effort with Dr. Roland Scott, director of the Sickle Cell Center: Dr. Oswaldo Castro, a doctor at the Sickle Cell Center, and Professor Miller, at the Pharmacy School. Dr. Adir has been using patients in the Howard University Hospital emergency room for his research. For those patients admitted to the emergency room experiencing pain stemming from sickle cell anemia who are given demerol as a pain reliever. Adir asks them to rate their pains. After the patients have rated and described thoir pairs, multiple blood samples of their blood is taken to determine the concentration level of demerol in tho blood streams.Adir said, bv comparing patients' pain ratings to the patients blood samples. I am able to determine the rate of absorption of demerol in patients. Dr. Adir has been involved in his research effort for the past two years, and expresses hope that information develop guidelines on giving prociso dosages of demerol will be complete by the end of the year. Once guidelines for dosing patients have been set. Adir said “other researchers and I will go back to the emergency room to retest guidelines and see if they actually improve patients' care.

Patients left the Dental Health Fair With inning Smiles To most people February was synonymous with Valentine’s Hay. or a Ions weekend duo to Washington's Birthday To dental students. February mnant dental health month and the Dental School's annuul Dental Health Fair. This year's fair attracted more than 400 people from the surrounding community who came to receive free dental care. Tho Fair, provided teeth cleaning, blood pressure checks screening for cava-ties. oral cancer screening, and other dental hygiene services to anyone who attended. Although the Fair was held on a Saturday, usually a day of rest for students and faculty in the Dental School, a task forco of over 200 volunteers was there to offer their help Dental volunteers included freshmen and sophomore dental students who registered and screened patients: administrators who helped with the paper work, and junior and senior dental students who performed the teeth cleanings and other denial services. Faculty mombers were there to supervise tho students' work. Third year dental student. Ghislalne Roe. volunteered at tlie fair. Roe explained the services she and other students performed. We took blood pressures, screened for cavities and made referrals for patients to return for dental care. Whoever came in we were prepared to work on them. The event was a collaborative effort between the Department of Community Dentistry and the dental stu- dents. Romilla Rodgers, a Registered Dental Hygenist in the Department of Community donistry, said, “since February is Dental Hoalth Month, it soomod the most fitting time to hold the Fair. She said. Tho goal of the whole event was to get more patients to come to the Dental School for services. Students in the school provided dental services to university students and faculty, free of charge, as well as services to the community on a weekday basis throughout the year. Albert Grainger. Dental School Student Council Presidont. said Tho school advertised for the event through elementary schools, supermarkets, and local churches. This yours turnout of 48 ) people was the largest in the event's history. said Grainger. “There were so many people, registration had to be closed two hours early, and fifty three rain checks were issued so patients could come back later for dental care. added Grainger The Dental Health Fair was a community project whore evoryonc was able to get involved.

To combat this problem, the district, with the cooperation of various celehrities and local television stations launched the Beautiful Babies campaign to encourage pregnant women to have healthy babies. The university, in its ever increasing attempt to assist the community, launched its own campaign against infant mortality. A group of researchers at the university has been engaged in a 5 year research study to explore the causes of infant mortality among blacks. This research project Nutrition. Other Factors, and the Outcome of Pregnancy. was a collaborative research effort between the Departments of Human Development and Obstetrics and Gynecology in the College of Medicine as well as the Howard University Hospital. The project was funded by a re- search grant of approximately $2 5 million awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. This grant represented the largest single research grant awarded to the university The team of project researchers consisted of Dr. O. lackson Cole. Dr. Cedle H. Edwards. Dr. Allan A. Johnson. Dr. Enid Knight, Dr. Ura Jean Oyemodeand Dr. George H Nolan “The object of the study is to investigate and document the degree to which cultural, environmental. medical, nutritional, psychological. and socioeconomic factors affect the outcomes of pregnancy in 600 women between the ages of 18 and 35. who have had no previous births. indicated Dr. O. Jackson Cole. Dean of the -School of Human Ecology. The women chosen for the research were patients at the Howard Uninver-sity Hospital. The women's medical conditions were followed closely through three trimesters of their pregnancy and delivery. After deliv- ery. the children were observed for 2 years to see the affects of their environment. Dean Cole added “this study assumes critical importance because the District of Columbia has one of the highest infant mortality rates of any American city or state. Our university, the largest black institution of higher learning in the country, was in a unique position and location to address the problem of infant mortality that plagues much of the black population in the city. With such an alarmingly high incidence of infant mortality in tho District of Columbia. it was clear that a project of this kind was sorely needed. Hopefully with the information gained from this research study, the infant mortality rate will be reduced and researchers will be able to better understand the relationship between nutrition and pregnancy outcome among blacks.

In a bit of sideline humor, the Bison masrot playfully iosties William Stewart. It was a year of growth for the sports program. The highlight of the university's sports year was the crushing success of the football team. For the team and Coach Willie Jeffries, his year was as sweet and as smooth as honey after suffering through a string of losing seasons before finally reaching an 8-3 record. For all other sports teams, growth characterized their on-field performance and potential. Although settling for a 6-7-3 record, the soccer team gelled at season's end capped their sea- son with a six game winning streak. The women's volleyball team could not finish off a perfect season by winning the ME AC championship, but the potential is there for future champions. Grades and athletics received renewed attention as Proposition 48 insures that academics would grow pro-portionally with sports. It stipulated that all incoming freshmen, deserving to play a sport must have scored 700 on the SAT and must have attained a 2.0 G.P.A. in core classes, to be eligible. Unfortunately, there was no proposition to stem the growing tale of drug usage. Len Bias' death however. acted as a herald to an unsuspecting, naive world that cocaine and other drugs were being abused. To cap off a overall winning season, the new stadium changed our attitude and our looks. With the astroturf, came new and different injuries, a scoreboard (that worked), more seating and school pride, now, the university's sports programs were giving everyone something to cheer about.

In his third year as coach, he was attempting to develop a respectable. if not succesful program here. The progress was slow and the results, minimal. In 1984 (Coach Jeffries’ first soason). the Bison were a young team justs boginning to “crawl with a 2-9 record. Last season, they learned to walk as they posted a 4-7 mark. This year, however, with twenty-one starters returning, they showed everyone that they could now “run” os they postod an impressive 8-3 record. and narrowly missed a division 1-AA playoff berth. We couldn't use youth and inexporlonce as on excuse any longer. said Coach Jeffries. “We had enough juniors and sophomores who had experienced the pains and disappoint.nents of losing. This yonr we made our move. Move is exactly what the Bison did in compiling their best record since 1975. After sufforing throo early season losses. Bison fans were once again muttering “here we go again. But the team turned itself around as they roolod off their longest winning streak since 1973 with seven consecutive victories to finish the season. The offense was so high-owered that it literally lew-out its opponents. Morehouse 49-t4. North Carolina A8tT. 42-10. and Morgan State.

Over the course of tho soa-son. the defensive front wall evolved into an immovable object as it allowed the fewest points in the MBAC.

These bearers of ’’Blue Death’ left many opponents mourning as they racked up 121 tackles. 16.5 sacks. 4 forced fumbles and 3 recovered fumbles.

At best, mediocre described the team's performance as it ended the season with a 6-7-3 record. However. appearances could be deceiving. especially when uncontrollable circumslanes woro involved. According to Coach Keith Tucker, who has been head coach of the team for six years, the past season was one of learning. Any time a team consists of more freshmen than returning players, it usually takes an entire season for the team to gel. So most of the season was spent learning how to play together and finding a style that suited us. A man-to-man defense and a fast-paced offense were two basics that worked well for us.“ Even though the team was young, talent was not lacking. Two freshmen.

So we had to play at Tbrkey Thicket or on the other team’s field and most times, one's opponents had tho crowd support. It was very distracting, ospo-dally since we had never played together much as a team.’ Added 18 year old Ervin Williams, also a freshman. In the beginning, we lost all of our games, hut near the end we were on a winning streak. We won 0 of the last 7 games wo pluyed. This showed that we came together as a unit. Though its overall record was not statistically impressive. the soccer team improved and matured throughout the season. This fact was evident by the winning streak tho toam enjoyed toward the season's end. Since all of the players were returning, this momentum will probubly carry over into next season, transforming this year's learning experiences into next year's winning team! by Mignon McLemoru Layout by Klnine Smith 204 Soccer Soccer 205 The Women's Volleyball Squad Had T he Perfect Set Up Some things are just not meant to be Take the Boston Red Sox as World Champions. Unfortunately, the Bi-sonette Spikers followed a similar path; they could not win the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference Championship this year. Losing three starters from last year's MEAC Championship team could have qualified this year as a re building one for coach Cynthia Deb-nam. especially since two of the starters lost were all-MEAC selections. Coach Debnam and her team quickly dispelled the notion of rebuilding, however, as they glided through an undefeated MEAC season (15-0). surprising everyone except Debnam. I knew these girls had talent they |ust needed a chance to show it. Unfortunately, the team did not show this undefeated prowess in the MEAC volleyball tournament, and they bogan to resemble the aforementioned Boston Rod Sox.

Ironically, both Delaware State and U.M.E.S. had lost to the Spikers during the regular season, so the losses were indeed surprising. “Even after those losses we held our heads high, said team captain and All-MEAC setter.

Williamson to reach a milestone that most coaches because of time and unsatisfactory records never roach. Williamson survived the obstacles and Winthrop to win his 200th career, coaching victory. Given the fact that this was Winthrop’s first year in Division I play, the tight game (82-00) was unexpected. Howard trailed several times in the game, but with outstanding outside shooting and steely nerves on the free throw line, they managed to squeak by with the win. There were several keys that helped them in this game and past games: shooting, confidence and desire. Our past teams have been good, but somehow managed to come up one shy of the NCAA Tournament. This year could mark a change in this pattern. Said, junior Rocky Gholson. who played small forward. The team definitely has talent, agility and something we haven’t had in a long time, confidence. I think we have a good chance of going on to post-season play, but we have to boat North Carolina A T. our season won’t be complete until we do.” Coach Williamson, who had boon the coach since 1975. agreed. “North Carolina A T has been on the upswing, but if we can execute our offense constantly, block out Bison center Landrcth Baugh goes up for a jump shot that extends his team's lead over the University of Maryland-Balti-more County. and get a few more rebounds, we’ll be tough to beat.' One way to improve team performance was through conditioning. When the body became tired, the mind did so well: the ability to Ihink quickly while on the court was more important than being seven foot tall. “Every team has an Achilles heel,' explained Coach Williamson. “and ours is an inability to sustain offensive continuity. So we continually go over drills, run laps and suicides and practice free throws. Commented 20 year old junior. John Spenser, who alternated playing tho forward and renter position. Sometimes in practice we run instead of dribbling because our concentration is shot, mentally. The mental aspect is most important because if the leant loses that intensity level, then the other team can sneak up on us. So we have to work on raising our intensity level another notch.

For the women's basketball team, however. |uly markod the beginning of pre-season conditioning, and brought the anticipation of another challenging season of the I.ady Bison's own brand of basketball. All of the team’s players must have completed a minimum of twenty miles running before coming back to school, weight-training and crosscountry running five days a week began: combined with agility drills such as skipping and jumping rope, and stamina building exercises-four 50 yard dashes and eight 100’s. The first official practice in tho gym was October 15. but the team's stamina was no problem. Once practice was moved inside, the Lady Bison trained five days a week for 2Vx hours a day but. week-ends were free. Practice was not allowed to interfere with academics. however while freshmen and sophomores were not allowed to schedule classes after 3:30. juniors and seniors, because they were involved in their majors, were told that when there were class conflicts, class came first. An old sports adage states that as the defense goes, so goes the offense. Coach Sanya Tyler heartily agreed with that, saying. “I’m a defensive coach. We (the Lady Bison) play a defensive game: we play match-up zone defense, which requires more thinking and is rarely seen on other women’s teams, because others play man-to-man. This strong defense enabled the Lady Bison to defeat both taller and shorter teams without major shifts in strategy. Perhaps that explained the team's high success rate. Coach Tyler also attributed their success to the team's confident stance, regardless of the opponent. She has tried to instill in her team the cohosivenoss that would help thorn win. She said. My team is like the black sky-no stars. Of course, there were those who held the team together but no preferential treatment given. The season for the Lady Bison was Impressive.

One week without having hit a ball could throw off one's liming, placement and judgment. Coach Larry Strickland, however, took the steps to insure that the off-season did not adversely affect his players. If anything. he used the time to build stamina, strength and enhance technique. The team vigorous workouts included: lifting weights twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays and court practice at the Hayno’s Point Tennis Complex on Fridays and Mondays. Was it worth the sore muscles and blistered feet? Well, the women had a 2-2 fall record and the men. a 4-2 record and the men also took 1st place in the Salisbury State Tournament When asked to assess the team. Coach Strickland said. “I’m excited about the potential wo have. Our road trip this spring should be successful. We'll be in good condition. and since we have very few injuries, it should be good. But Coach Strickland was optimistic to a point. I would be very surprised if we did go to the NCAAs. I think we're a year or so away from that. We are in a strong region, if anything one or two pooplo may qualify One major obstacle faced in the off-season was lack of motivation. Commented Strickland.

That is the highly commercialized version. Now. for a little realism. If the truth be known, wrestling was a physically demanding, individual-team sport that required skill, dedication and a genuine love for it to be successful. While the term an individual-team sport did seem like a contradiction in terms, it was applicable to college wrestling. If each individual in his weight class won his match or scored a certain number of points; and that total added up to more than the opposing team’s, then tho team won. Said coach Paul Cotton, an active competitor in GrecoRoman wrestling. “Team scoring is not as important to me as tho individual performance. Even though our correct record (1-8) is not impressive, we had a finalist and throe consolation finalists in the Capital Collegiate Conference Tournament, which featured wrestlers from other schools in the district. I was pleased with our performance as 1 have been all season.” Everyone on the team rooster knew what to oxpect from the sport because oach had wrestled at least two years in high school. Even with the experience however. they still had to learn maneuvers. holds and strategy. The team practiced from 8am to 8ain: this way there were no academic conflicts or distractions because there was none in the gym but them. Said coach Cotton. Excelling in academics is most important, it is the reason why they are here. Wrestling means something to them now because it is something that they achieved on their own. but professors and future employers won't care. So one has to enjoy it and have his priorities set because together [athletics and academics ore) very demanding The underlying factor which urged the wrestler on is self-reliance. Said twenty-two year old junior. Antonio S. Washington. It is one of the most strenuous sports, but it is also more individualized. Whether you win or lose depends solely on you. Soon when you step on the mat. it's a matter of pride because your performance will reflect on your team, coach, and yourself. Said sophomore Melvin Toran. I prefer to be the ruler of my own destiny; whereas in team competition, someone else could make a mistake to possible hurt your chances of winning with wrestling, however, you can blame no one but yourself.” Contrary to popular sports' teachings, wrestling emphasized individualism and then team univication. Since the success of the entire team was entirely dependent on the individual performance of its members, it was necessary that each participant concentrated on his performance. And wrestling disciplines the mind and the body as do most sports. But with individualism and discipline as tho key factors continually stressed, wrestlers are indeed in control of their own destinies by Mignon McLemoro Layout by Lesa Walker Wrestling Team 215 216 Tae Kvvon Do Members of The Tae Kwon S3 Do Team Remained nsung Heroes They were a team of champions, who for the tonth straight year, were nationally recognized as ono of the best collegiate teams in the United States.

There the team placed 2nd overall. According to Yang that was a surprise to many team members, but may have been due to the fact that many non-U.S. citizens on the team were not allowed to compete. Nevertheless, for the tenth year in a row. the Tae Kw on Do team continued to capture medals and trophies and hold to its prestigious national ranking. The university's Tae Kwon Do tuam's successful efforts over the years have demonstrated that it is a sport worthy of recognition. The team's performance signified that they were truly a team of champions. by Charissc Killian Layout by Knvce Vaughn Tae Kwon Ho 217 In Spite Of Academic Problems, the Swim Team Kept Their ead Above Water Although swimming was considered i summer activity, the swim loam's competitions did not begin until November and nndod in February. with tournament meets held in March. The men and women of the swim leam faced a tough season which held sovcral pitfalls, but they managed to finish the season with an average record. The swim team began practicing in September. On Mondays. Wednesdays, and Fridays, they wore put through two workouts: stretch-ingand lifting weights for an hour in the morning . and two and one fourth hours of swimming in the afternoons. Saturdays involved just swimming for two to three hours. In addition. Coach Yohnnie Sham-bourger explained Many team mombers swim for soma outside club, or cross-train for triathalons. so it is not necessary to have specific off-season training. Practicing during the season took different forms, dependent on Ihe phase of the season In the pre-season. cross-1 raining, weights, tech- nique. and unification of the team look precedence. Speed, yardage, and specialization were targets during the competitive phase. The swimmers averaged 10-12.000 total yards a day during these practices. The taper phase, or end of the season. concentrated on the mental aspect of swimming: rosts woro longor and yardage dropped to 2-3.000 yards a day. Christmas break was a turning point for the team. Prior to the break, the record had been 5-1. But the return brought injuries, academic probation, and withdrawals. All of the divers were gone which, according to Shambourger, was like spotting the other team twenty points from the beginning. They lost five of their next six meets. Despite this, morale was high in anticipation of the tournaments. The proverbial wet blanket was used as a towel as the swim team dried off and began preparations for the next moet.

The fall record of 25-1° made everyone optimistic about the upcoming season. Even though the spring season was more strenuous, with a stretch of double-headers taking the team as far away as Florida. Georgia ami Pittsburgh, the confidence level was high and attitudes were positive. Third year starter and third baseman Mitchell Smith gave his outlook on the team. Good froshmen to fill the holes of graduating seniors as well as returning veterans should load the team to regionals, provided the able arm of pitcher Maynard Clarke holdsup. Smith continued 'the team should be number one in the MEAC. The team had a chance to test its playing abilities against other MEAC teams in the season opener. The MEAC Round Robin in Daytona Beach, Florida. they left Washington for Florida with an 11-2 record and returned with on 14-10. Said sophomore Maynard Clarke, a starting pitcher. The game against Armstrong Stale (a college in Savannah. Georgia) took our heart. Wc were up 12-7 going As he rounds third, the roach tries to determine if the right fielder can make an accurate throw to home The throw was off and he scored. into the final inning, but a tired pitcher and fumbling mistakes tied the game and then they won it threp innings later. 14 12. After the loss. I think the team was demoralized and it didn't help for the other games, that there wasn't enough time to rest after long stints on the bus. The rest factor apparently affected the team's production because in several of the road games, they were shut out. Granted, it was the pitcher’s responsibility to prevent runs, but one couldn't expect a no hitter from every starting pitcher. The hitters too had to produce runs to support the pitcher. Logically, the more a team produced the better its chances of winning, but on several outings, the baseball team's offense was weak, and its overall record reflected this. In any sport, once the momentum is lost, it does not matter how good the team was winning was unlikely. Nevertheless, a couple of wins and a couple of key plays could definitely turn the season around. So there was still time for a home run season. by Mignon McLemore Layout by Karen Samuels 221 Runners Balance Their Studies To eep Track of Success Participating in a year long sports activity, the trackteam ran in several competitions. They were confronted with the ups and downs of extra-curricular involvement, yet found their way through to many record timings. The success of the track team was not based on a “win-lose record as are most other sports, since they did not run dual meets, and they run against all divisions the meets were based on timing. The time that the team finished an event could qualify them for other competitions such as the National Mile Relay in which the teams participated in March. Students were selected for the track team based on various factors Coach Moultrie gave questionnaires to interested students which asked for general information about SAT scores and high school activities among other things Based on their athletic performances, many of the walk-on-students were given track scholarships Practice for these athletes hegan early in September The season lasted all year starting with cross country events, the indoor season, outdoor season, and a few summer meets. The students practiced 5 days per week when they ran 3Vi to 4% miles. Brenda Bailey, a senior COBIS maor. told how the practices could affect grades. She said. “It seems to be easier for me in the fall. My grades tend to fall in the spring because I’m involved in a lot of meets It's dificult on the road because when you take your books you really intend to study, but after running all you can do is sleep. It's hard to get in the mood for studying. Most of the athletes felt that the cohesiveness between them helps to make it easier for them to balance their school work and track. Brenda Bailey said. “Since we see each other after hard days of practice when we're at our worst wc learn to support each other. There is a special bond. The men and women teams get equal recognition and the same work-out The womens team even made the all-American division which is one of the top six in the country.

One had to know which options to take and which obstacles to avoid When considering the athletic student who was striving to reach academic and athletic goals, questions of priority came Into focus. Tins student who participated in sports had to permit time lor classes, mid studying, as well as physical training, daily practices, attending the games and performing up to the coach's and the fans expectations. Of all these du-lias, practices, demanded the most from an athlete. Joseph L Coates, a Finance major from Detroit, participated on the swim team during his freshman year He felt that practices directly affected his academic performance He said. The training got more serious and much harder as we got closer to the season. We practiced six days per week Mondays through Kndays we practiced from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p m and on Mondays. Wednesdays, and Fridays there wa an additional practice from 8:00 am— 7:00 a m On Saturdays we practiced from 800 a.m. — 11:00 a m All of this would really tire me out. I was not at alert in class and I would sometimes fall asleep while studying in the library. I had to work extremely hard to keep my grades up Stress and tension from a hectic schedule could somotimes become overwhelming Lava Gavin, a member of the women's basketball team, felt more pressure from athletics than from academics. The team practiced five days per week and spent 2W — 3 hours in the gym. She said. lt didn't take away from my academics We do a lot of extra studying before road games and sometimes take our books along The coaches keep up with our grades and if we start to drop academically, they find tutors for u� .

The main purpose for attending college was to receive further academic training With a bachelor's degree as the students ultimate goal, most of them agreed that nothing should interfere with obtaining it.

The trainers immediately ired and immobilized my knee to help initiate the healing procoss. The doctor told me I would be out for four to six weeks, but with some hard work in therapy on the training table. I should be able to play in three weeks. Once the initial shock faded, an athlete was faced with an even worse task; that of rehabilitation As Crosby slated, the healing procoss could take anywhere from three weeks or less, or to a year or more, depending on the location and severity of the injury.

Recreational Relief The pressures and anxieties associated with academics were sometimes more than ono could handle. The daily routines of sitting through lectures then going home to spend hours on homework assignments became tiring as well as monotonous. There was a cure, several ingenious students found a way to escape their academic routines through the university's intramural program The program offered soccer, volleyball, rac-quctball. swimming, basketball. football and other sports ovonts for students to ongago in. Intramural sports program coordinator Herb Thompson said. “The intramural program provided recreational activities for faculty, students. and staff in the university community. Some of the events, for example football. soccer, and basketball were so competitive that ref-erces or some type of officiating was required. The remaining events were just as competitive, but the partici- pants doubled as officials. Thompson commented. “The weighl rooms were most popular among students. While the weight room was not a competitive part of the intramural program. many males and some females could be found “pumping iron in the free weight and nautilus rooms almost daily to keep in shape. The basketball league which consisted of some 32 teams, had teams matched up against each other for games on weeknights. Danny Lawson, a sophomore from Houston. Texas, used the facilities in the weight room and participated in the bas-kotball competition. He said. “The intramural game gives me as well as others a chance to escape and break away from studying. Ho added that he had acquired friends through playing ball. luniorengineering student Mark Met played racquet-ball. “Playing racquctbali was a way for me to get away from the books and clear my mind. On most any evening 1 could come to Burr and find someone ready to hit the courts for a good match. said Met Most of the intramural events touk place in Burr Gymnasium on weeknights. There were those who did not directly participate, but usually came as spectators to cheer and support their friends who were playing. The support of friends seemed to stimulate excitement and appeared to encourage participants to play at their best. The intramural program gave every university student. whether a super star athelete or one possessing only a sense of enthusiam. a chance to take part in recreational fun.

With a variety of campus organizations to choose from, there were many important decisions to be made. Participation in these organizations could give one additional prestige, power, and privileges. Honor societies and Greek-letter organiza tions, which do more of the choosing than the potential members, kept students maintaining grade point averages and social contacts. Service organizations as well as state clubs took their places, too, though they tended to be more welcoming to those who wanted to join. After deciding which organizations one wanted to join, there came the task of narrowing down the list to a manageable number. Even though participating in extra-curricular activities rounded out the college experience, spreading oneself too thin was not uncommon. For all, however, the objective was simply to have fun.

Fourth Street was impassable; cars blocked the road all the way back to Bryant Street. New entrants, their families. their luggage, and their problems were everywhere. In tho midst of this confusion tho Campus Pals in their infamous blue and white T-shirts acted as bellhops traffic directors and advisors to all who needed help Throughout the history of tho organization which was found-ed in 1946 by Samuel Etheridge the Campus Pals have tried to case the shock of the high school tocollegetransition. Orientation activities such as information sessions, the Variety Show and Dating Game were tho most obvious signs of Pal activity but there has been is more to being a Campus Pal. Craig Collins a second-year Pal provided more insight: Tho laughing and joking seen on the surface are only possible hecause of a great deal of behind-the-scenes organization and preparation. Many long hours are put inbeforeandduringtheori-entation process; the enthusiasm displayed at the events sesrvos more as an outlet than just enjoyment. Even though duty had its heavy side the Campus Pals managed to have a sense of hu- mor about the worst situations. They also kept laughing about their T-shirts. The Pals were asked several times a day during orientation how many shirts they were given since they wore these shirts everyday. The answer: one shirt One shirt? “Yes. Kelly Valentine, a first-year Pal explained. “When we get home at 3:00 am and have to be at breakfast by 7. teeth may not gel brushed, hair might not get rolled up but those T-shirts sure get washed out! Being a Campus Pal meant different things to different Pals, but the resounding, recurring theme was one that even those not in the organization can see. The Campus Pals arc very close and it was that closeness that made them so effective as a group. Erica Hoskins summed it up this way: The best part of being a Pal isn't helping the freshmen, it’s the friendships. We re close, and some of the Pals have become my best frionds.

Inc., sponsored its 10th Annual Walk-o-thon. If success was to be measured by numbers, then this event most certainly qualified as one. Approximately 200 students participated and raised over eight thousand dollars. The interested students obtained sponsor sheets and collected pledges from friends and faculty. There was a ten cent a mile minimum, but any amount offered was accepted and appreciated. Two major businesses in the community, the Howard Inn and McDonalds also contributed to the worthy cause. Proceeds from this event went to provide aid to a Penyan Village in Gambia. West Africa, as well us the center for Youth Services in Washington. D.C. Delta. Tonya Caldwell, a Computer and Business Information Systems major said. Not only did wo concentrate on helping our brothers and sisters in Africa. but also those In our own city. Although the sorority held fundraisers throughout the year, monies from this walk-a-thon generated the most financial aid of any of their fundraisers. Tonya lones. an Alpha Chapter soror. visited the Penyan Village as part of a Crossroads Exchange Program. While there, she saw a real need for the enhancement of the children's education because these children primarily worked in the fields. In lieu of this evalua- tion. books, school supplies and other educational materials for grade school children are among the items to be provided with the money raised. Since 8:00 am Saturday morning was an hour that most students slept through, it was no wonder that many of the participants were groggy and drowsy as they sipped coffee and pondered the 20 mile journey that lay ahead. Afterwards though, students claimed that the walk itself was not bad since there were other students walking. Amy Strowbridge. a junior from Florida commented. “The walk-a-thon was fun. I met new people when 1 paired off in groups We sang songs and just acted crazy. If nothing else, it was a way to see parts of the city that are always passed by on the bus. The walk started in the Valley and continued down 4th Street to Constitution Avenue and then onto Foggy Bottom. The route look them past the Capitol.

Dedication, enthusiasm. and persistame overflowed. All too often they went unnoticed and unappreciated for the job that thoy did The cheerleaders helped to encourage the team at all times — even when fickle fans had turned their backs. They too could bo | considered athletes, but these were things that many of us rarely acknowledged The average student never really understood what all the cheering was about. Those students interested in ioining the squad must first attend a two-week workshop. During tho first week they learned basic stunts and jumps, and in the second week they were introduced to the Bison style of cheoring. In these two weeks, the most promising students were chosen to make the squad In an attempt for continued improvement of their performance. the cheerleaders held special workshps and attended professional clinics where the rigorous workouts aided in the precision and synchronizing of their techniques. Kimberly D. Rogers, a junior accounting major held the position of co-captain. Sho said, Choorloading is demanding physically as well as academically. We are expected to cheer for soccer games. football, and women's and men's basketball We pr ictice Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:00-9:60 and there can bo as many as throo games per week so we really have to push ourselves to study and cheer. Cheerleaders received several snide remarks, and heckling from the student body. Elizabeth Smith, a junior in the School of Communications, is a cheerleader who stated. While much of the student body criticizes us from the stands, no one ever comes to the practices to offer helpful suggestions. If the students and administration are not satisfied with the cheerleaders. they should consider offering scholarshps. There is no incentive attracting good cheerleaders. We'ro doing this because we like athletics: and we enjoy what we do. Ms Belinda H. Lightfoot. Associate Director of Student Activities and Administrative Advisor for the cheerleaders, affirmed that there was no financial incentive for the cheerleaders. After petitioning the Ceneral Assembly. UCSA. and the University-Wide Activities Appropriation Board (UWAAB). they were usually successful in acquiring funds to travel with the teams. They received the basic uniforms free of charge and only had to purchase shoes, briefs, and a jacket, h) choice Ms Lightfoot said. “Not many colleges give scholarships to cheerleaders but it would be nice. However. I don't see why it is necessary for incentive. If you want to lead school spirit a scholarship will not draw better cheerleaders It would draw people who wanted money The Office of Student Activities is not in a position to give scholarships. Even some of the athletes arc on scholarship by loan. If the monies could be identified. I'd be the first to say let's give it to the cheerleaders but the money can not be identified. The Howard University Alumni Cheerleaders Associa-lino (HU AC A) was an organization consisting of former H.U. cheerleaders. They try to provide such incentives as financial awards for cheerleaders with the highest G P A. and awards for those who were most improved, etc. The cheerleaders wanted to please the student body and welcomed helpful criticism Their task was not easy, their rewards were meager, yet they continued to perform diligently. Perhaps with a better understanding of that whch we took for granted, wo could learn to appreciate the intricacies ol cheerleading as an athletic, sport.

About the Business of Getting Ahead For some, economical figures, financial equations, and the rise and falls of the stock market provide an intrigue and mystique that others of us find tedious and dry. The students in the business school are among those captivated hv the corporate world and its components. A week of programs aimed at the enhancement of the School of Business and Public Administration concluded with the 10th annual Businessweek Banquet. On November 21 at the Sheraton-Washington Hotel, members of the corporate sector and business school students gathered to exchange ideas on future business opportunities in the Black community. Sharing his words of wisdom and giving helpful advice to anxious listeners. The Honorable Emmett 1 Rice, a member of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, made observations of poverty and unemployment then offered suggestions for what could be done to alleviate the problems. He mentioned. In previous years, pco-plo in economics were motivated to relieve poverty, but the motivation is not sensed in young economists. Social disabilities and discrimination lead to poverty. While jobs are plentiful for highly skilled workers, minority youth remain unemployed. As you graduate and get into the business world, it is up to you to take responsibility for reducing mobility restraints, and raising the skill level of workers Kelly Welch, a sophomore Finance major, gained a great deal from the banquet She said. It was good to be surrounded by goal-oriented students and people in the business world. It got me so excited and anxious to start my career I made some very good contacts which should work out well for me. The corporato sector was well represented by major companies such as AT T. Kraft, and Proctor ft Gamble and indeed, opportunities for excellent contacts availed themselves. David Blair. Cynthia Spooner, and coordinator Dedric Fells were recognized fur their help in organizing Business Week. The consensus was that their efforts were worthwhile and well appreciated. Rice left the audience with a challenge. He suggested that as one contributes to society he should do good while doing well. by Sherri Milner Layout by Tamara Brown t.IBERAL ARTS HONOR SOCIETY: Front Row: April Clinkscales. Cynthia Collier.

Fast During tho weekend of October 24-26. more than 300 stu- was a way to dents were united in hunger. This was not the type of hunger induced from running out of money before the next allowance came from home, or from forgetting to eat dinner. No. this was an organized hunger. a fast. More specifically, it was the 1st Annual Hunger Fast sponsored by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Inc.. Alpha Chapter. to benefit a village in Zimbabwe and S.O.V1.E. (So Others Might Eat). The participants were given pledge sheets which were to be filled in with monetary donations (a certain amount per hour) from sponsoring persons. Before the fast was conducted, a meeting was held to inform the participants of the purpose of the fast, the recipients of the money and tho typo of food one was allowed to have. Actually, no food was allowed, but one could drink water juice when hungor took hold All participants were urged to consult a physician before fasting, just as a precautionary measure The actual fasting began at 2pm on October 24 and ended on October 26 at 2pm. During this 48 hour period, there were events planned to keep the participants activo so that hungor pangs wouldn't drive one to the nearest Safeway. On Friday night a candlelight vigil was held around the flagpole. There, the participants or anyone supporting the cause gathered to pray, sing and receive encouragement from each other for the weekend ahead. On Saturday evening two speakers. Melvin Foote from Africare and Harold Moss from the Community for Creative Nonviolence, conveyed the message that the participants were not alone on their hunger on their altompts to stop it. On Sunday, there was a call to chapel followed by a light brunch in the Gallery Lounge of the Blaackburn Center to officially break the fast The idea to fast as a service project orginated in 1985 Alpha Kappa Alpha Basileus Malena Calvin, an English major from Ohio said. I participated in one (a fast) in Ohio during the summer of 1985. I thought it would do well on campus and once I became a member of the sorority. I got the chance to implement it. Onco the project was agreed on. I contacted Congressman Tony Hall because he had sponsored the one in Ohio. He was very supportivo and donated the T-shirts tree ol charge. The purpose of the fast? There is a principle involved here, commented soror Jill Louis. Voluntary fasting brought us closer to thoso who have very little food. If nothing else, it brought our level of consciouncss up. Indeed. We are now more conscious of the less fortunate: the homeless and the hungry So the next time you feel hungry and don’t believe you can make it until dinner, think about those people who don't have access to food and will again go to bed hungry. Say a prayer for them before answering those hunger pangs Clean your plate and afterward, pray that a way is soon found to stop all hunger ... fast. by Mignon McLomore layout by Envce Vaughn PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL: Front Row: Deanna Baumgardner.

Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity. Inc. in conjunction with the American Rod Cross Mobile Blood Unit sponsored the blood drive held in mid-September at the University's Blackburn Center. Morale among the donors was extremely high. First-time donor Raymond S. Johnson, a sophomore from New York and a member of Alpha Phi Omega, said “1 felt good about helping someone. He added, despite slight apprehension. I would probably give in the future. The twenty minute process of giving blood began with being examined by a Red Cross nurse who checked the donor's weight, temperature, and blood pressure. According to Alico Tyler. Operations Coordinator for Blood Services Nursing at the American Red Cross, a donor had to weigh at least 110 pounds, have a temperature reading of no more than 99.6 and a blood pressure reading of no more than 180 over 100 The blood is then drawn from donor's upper arm and usually amounted to about one pint. Each donor was then offered refreshments to help him regain his strength. Sophomore Sam Sullivan, who gave blood twice a year contended, the process is painless.” While other students have been known to faint or become nauseated after giving blood. Tyler noted that “probably less than one percent of total donors become sick. All donated blood was taken to the Washington Red Cross for processing. Tyler explained that the blood was tested for HTLV-3 virus, which revealed if a donor had AIDS antibodies in his blood Additionally, the blood was inspected for Hepatitis, veneral disease, and blood type. If all the tests were negative, the blood was then labeled and sent to area hospitals. If the donated blood tested positive, the corresponding donor was notified immediately. The recent concern over Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has curtailed the number of blood donors. Tyler commented that many people feared that the disease may be contracted through unsanitary needles used to extract the blood. She clarified that sterile unused needles were used for each donor and. therefore. there was no need to be reluctant. While some students may have been slightly apprehensive about giving blood, all of them realized the significance of the act. For the stu-donts. twenty minutes of slight discomfort-to the recipients, a precious ... the “gift of life. by Charisse Killian Layout by Andrea White STUDENT AMBASSADORS RECRUITMENT.

Lab Technician Carolyn Stinnett, layout Lesa Walker, layout The Mountains of Work Led Yearbook Staffers To Ask Are We Having Fun Yet? It sounded like fun Lots of work, but fun. too. The first meeting of the yearbook staff was charged with energy and high expectations. Weeks into the semester, however, the staff discovered that working on the yearbook was not just work, but a job The first articles assigned to the copy staff wore fun. N’o tracking down unwilling professors or closemouthed administrators. Even writing captions was a game. Unfortunately, no one counted on the first deadline's avalanche of picturos or articles that needed rewriting. Long, long hours hours were spent in the office tossing out ideas that got shot down until exhaustion and delirium took control; at that point coherency was all that mattered. The Clerical staff had the inevitable tusk of deciphering copy staffers' handwriting. Cries of “What does this say? or “Did you really mean that word? were common, along with “It's too long!- The new computer holpod with indoxing and filing, except for those limes that the typist was told-too-late that the disc she was typing on had already been sent in. Everyone wanted his picture in the yearbook, but even the most prolific photographer could not do that The photographers were seemingly always in trouble; first, there were no pictures, then no names to go with the pictures, and then no photographers. That was not fun. Laying out the book was resorved for the layout staff, who were generally in calmer states than members of other staffs. They patiently waited for copy and photographs and quietly finished their pages when those things wore given to them. The only way to be sure that they bad been productive was to check their work area; did it look worked in. rather like the after-math of a nursery school field trip? The office was a place of business ordinarily, a place of frenzy during deadlines. Empty pizza boxes were the obvious signs that a deadline was being worked on. and the familiar sounds were those of Editor-in-Chief. Karen Samuels, begging the security guards in Blackburn to let the staff stay past the 10:00 closing time. The hardwork paid off (literally) however and. looking back, maybe it was fun after all.
