Their expectations were as numerous as they were different Some new entrants were enticed by ru-mors of the social life Drawn by the talus of the abundance of attractive men and women, of weekends that never passed without a live party, and of carefree Friday afternoons on tho yard; they came with groat anticipation. Others came because of the tradition of academic excellence. Captured by the institution that is now chosen by the largest number of National Achievement Scholars in tho nation (surpassing Harvard-Hadcliffo). they came. Enticed by an impressive list of alumni, the likes of Thurgood Marshall. Phyli-cia Rashad. Andrew Young. Debbie Allen and Roberta Flack, they came to continue the legacy of producing outstanding black professionals in the fields of scienco. entertainment. politics and business. Whether one came in pursuit of academia or social interaction. one soon discovered that adjustments had to be made. College life, students realized, was a juggling act. a meshing of two extremes to arrive at a balance between academics and socializing. Graduation is indeed cause for celebration; and these graduates celebrate in grand stylo as they uncork the champagne. pening yard, provides a restful moment in between rlnniu Sun. surf and sand, not to mention an endless spectrum of ladies makes Virginia Beach the ideal hot spot of college men. Openini For many students, most expectations about this institution held true. For others, however, thoy did not. and the discovery that the “party school image was a myth, was a source of great disappointment to many. Although many students had preconceived notions of life here, nothing prepared now entrants and returning stu-donts alike for the changes that met them upon their return in August. Financial aid crises were commonplace; as delays in processing aid in the financial aid offico sont students scrambling to find money from other sources. “No registration without immunization” was another trying phase some students had to undergo. Enforcement of immunization requirements in the District of Columbia forced many studonts to submit proof of immunization, submit to being immunized or be prohibited from registering for classes. Inspite of this unploasnnt boginning; there was at last smooth soiling. The usual disappointment with cafeteria food was tempered with a complete renovation of the cafeteria. The arrival of the student newspaper. The Hilltop, on Fridays now became a much awaited event. Students, depending on their point of view, welcomed “fine investigative reporting”, or “gossip ; as several student leaders and university policies suffered front page or editorial treatment. The Howard University Student Association instituted a self-help loon program to which students had to contribute, but from which they could borrow. Changes took place in the University's administrative structure, as well, as various Vice-Presidential positions were eliminated, and an Executive Vice-President position created- Always a source of oxcito-mont. Homecoming was also a source of controversy, as accusations of managerial incompetence were voiced. Nevertheless, the plannod week of activities went on with some degree of success. The football team was another source of excitement, as it won the Middle Eastern Athletic Conference championship for the first time. The team, however was denied an invitation to the playoffs, and the University responded with a 15 million dollar lawsuit against the NCAA. The semester sped by. and before one realized it finals were here. Blessedly. Christmas came shortly after and brought a longer than usual, but much need break with it. The twilight sun casting a serene glow over the fountain outside of the Blackburn Center, provides n pleasant backdrop for a walk across the yard after a strenous day of classes. IH?

Warm weather is so fleeting, that even an upcoming exam can not keep students inside. The area outside of the Blackburn Center makes a convenient last minute study stop where one can enjoy the sun's rays. Openii Rpluming after Christmas. with new vigor, were students determined to “do better this time , or at least continuo the previous semester's performance. Financial Aid woes were, to a lesser extent, again present Nevertheless, with the appointment of a new Financial Director. Adrienne Price, and the installation of a computer system, hopes for rapid improvement abounded. Once the semester got underway. there was the usual curiosity surrounding students pledging Greek letter organizations Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Inc., in response to lawsuits surround-ing initiation hazing, stunned many students with its decision to discontinue pledging as a part of initiation into the organization While many viewed this step as an improvement: others, grecks in particular, saw it as weakening the respect thal the organization commanded. Other positivo steps wore also made in other areas of campus life Accompanying the cafeteria's renovation, was a 40% reduction of Good Food Services prices for a la carte meal prices. The decrease was welcomed by many, but accompanied by complaints about the justification for the former prices. The hustle and bustle of the semester was broken by the Spring Arts Festival and Spring Break, which offered a distraction from scholastic endeavors. Spring Break offered the opportunity for students to scurry off to the Bahamas. jamaica, Florida or simply, home Returning from that break signalled the final stretch: the completion of another year, or the termination of a long voyage, via graduation pening MARC ABSIH A surprise November snow (dll left over twelve inches of snow, sli| perly pavements. and students who bundled up to avoid the bitterly cold elements.

Fortunately. there existed numerous distractions to make the worrisome pursuit of academics less stressful In between classes, in the height of spring, students could be found on the yard. It was this sito which often heralded the arrival of the weekend as it was often abuzz, with activity on Friday at noon. With hair immaculately coiffod. bodies swathed in the latest fashion, students profiled and strutted about to catch an admiring glance. Cooler weather moved many of the admiration societies indoors: and the lobby of the Blackburn center became the central meeting place. For students who wished not to gather in these sites, there were other ways to relax. The School of Business lounge offered a color television where one could catch up on the latest episode of “All My Children . Many students who lived on cam- pus retreated to their rooms to do the same. For those who were simply overwhelmed by scholastic endeavours. an afternoon nap was just the thing to do to refresh the mind after excessive studying. There usually was not enough lime between classes to completely unwind. That, aftcrail. was what night time and weekends were all about And Washington D.C provided the perfect environment to forget about school. For the shopper in all of us. there were numerous boutiques and department stores. There were restaurants and nightclubs, and for the intellectual, the curious, or the sightseer, there were the Smithsonian museums. Haines Point Purk. the Washington Monument, the Whito House and a host of other attractions. Studying was vital to ones continued existence as a student in good academic standing Nevertheless, it at times becames too much for one to bear, and an escape wasoften necessary.

Whether due to a last minute cancellation or an urge to enjoy an evening out with friends, women of all ages always looked forward to those special evenings when only the girls went out.

A serious relationship existed between students and their leather. A strong commitment was evident between many people and their wool, and an undying love was present between individuals and their eel skin. Some may have considered these emotions extreme; however, for many it was simply obsession... Relaying that very Ihetne was the 1987 Spring Arts Fashion Show, sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Assembly. In a capacity filled Cramton Auditorium on Friday. April 24. obsession was personified. When the curtains opened on the first scene, the stage was completely dark as a small beam of light struck the audience Captured, they gasped, as the stage was illuminated with streams of synchronized light, all projected from tiny flashlights. Just as the excitement mounted, all the lights vanished, leaving the audience in the dark The production was geared toward those “obsessed with leather For the more casual dresser, there was the jean scene entitled “2 B Seen .

The show was coordinated by Arthur (A.B ) Williams who commented. “We have bocoma obsessed with find-inga look that best expresses who we are and the image we are trying to project. Sometimes we hide behind a mask — a facade, to protect and defend our inner selves Out of obsession, you will find the look that is right for you. After attending the Spring Arts Fashion Show, most students realized that looking fashionable was feeling fashionable. Indeed, they were obsessed. by Andrea White Uyout by Alan D.

Relinquishing the kittens to their proud big sisters. they began their performance Vowing love to Zeta and affirming that there was no doubt that they had made the right choice, these ladies stamped their feet, clapped their hands and sang of loyalty to their sorority Immediately following the Pixie Kittens were the seven Dogs of the Crescent Pledge Club of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated Wearing blue, berets, blue r.ombal bools and blue overalls, these men trod through the throng The berets were removed, as were the overalls, to reveal white pants, suspendors. and blue shirts In an cxritingarro-balic display thdt involved variations on break dancing, these men wowed the crowd, as they claimed their superiority to other fraternities and bragged of their sexual prowess The departure of the Dogs heralded an interminable wait. Disgusted, a few onlookers left, but most remained, determined not to lose their spaces.” After almost un hour and a half, the crowd caught sight of the seven Nubian Aues of the Sphinxman Pledge Club of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated Dressed in gold lame shirts, hlai k pants and black combat boots; each pledge carried a wooden shield in the shape of the African continent and wore the husk of a coconut and a banana around his nec k Brows furrowed and laces painted, their display was one which expressed fraternity pride Claiming that they had seen the light of Alulia. these men jumped around like apes, and on occasion snatched screaming women from audience into their arms Highlighting their performance was Dana Watkins. who sang “Mama Don'l You Cry lo his mother who sol close by After tins performance some members of the crowd dissipated to watch the death march of the Docks of the Pyramid Pledge Club of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated. Forty three young women marched up the hill to the yard. Bent over backwards, one body on top of the other, each woman carried a white paddle, as she crept to the site of the performance Once they arrived, the pledges went through a series of choreographed motions, then began their performance which consisted of an imitation of several popular songs with the words changed to express their love for Delta. The end of their presentation made way for the thirty three Worms of the Ivy I.eaf Pledge Club of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sororitv Incorporated. Dressed in pink and green satin dresses and white gloves these women swirled around as they too paid homage to their sorority to the tune of popular songs. The end of their ceremony signaled the end of the show' Curiosity appeased, excited by the performances hill weary from standing, the crowd dispersed.

It meant regained independence, renewed friendships and revived social lives. It was the day that students began to move back into tho Residence Halls, the first official step toward starting the new school year. The hasscls of moving in quickly hampered the excitement of being back to school Many students were met with a number of problems upon checking into tho dormitories. In Bethune Hall, there were problems with front door keys that just did not quite fit the lock. Students in Sutton Plaza returned to find bathrooms that had yet to be cleaned. And. of course, every year there was the you did not get here by six o'clock (p m). so you cannot get your keys tonight problem These problems, however, paled in comparison to those caused by Crant Enterprises, a storage company with whom | many students entrusted their i belongings for the summer. The company had leased space to I store some of the students’mer-® rhandise. from Capital Cities “Storage. They. (Crant Ent.) § failed to pay for the rented | space, thus relinquishing claim of the students' property to the storage company. Students were then left in doubt as to whether they could claim their belongings. The management of Capital Cities Storage was cooperative in allowing students to claim their goods as long as they had thoir claim tickets and as long as the company had these goods. Some students were § among the unfortunate whose S items had not been left in tho | earn of Capital Cities Storage. s and for those students chaos o ruled. Said sophomore Lynn | Moore. “I'm still trying to get 5 the rest of my things. Once items were retrieved from storage, some students faced another problem, a room in which to pul them. For some of those students the housing office designed a special contract known as the open assignment. Quite simply, this gave a student the right to a room somewhere in a specified re i-dence hall. This situation created a great deal of stress for the uncertain student arriving on opening day. Camlle l.ouis. a junior majoring In Chemical Engineering. commented. “1 gut there (Bethune Hal)) early because I wasn't even sure that I'd get a room. Finally, many students were surprised to find that their rooms wore unprepared on the return date. This fact w-as quite disturbing to many Freshmen residing in the Tubman Quadrangle. Dorm counselor. Valerie Cray, explained. “Some rooms were not ready since tho dorm was never closed. With a build-ingasoldastheQuad. repairing is a continuous process. The physical toil of moving in could noi be forgotten. Arms ached from carrying heavy boxes and hauling huge trunks. Backs pained from carrying refrigerators and shoulders swelled from toting suitcases packed with clothing. Ben Cay and rubbing alcohol were abused substances on this day as unpacking gave way to bed making so that a place could be found upon which to lay ones head. After suffering the pain of moving in and getting .settled, one would imagine that students were worn out and disillusioned. This, however, was not the case.

Ready and waiting for their arrival ware the Campus Pals a group of upperclassmen who helped Freshmen get ad|usted and prepared for the new school yoar.Thogroup was4S members strong with each pal being assigned 45 to 50 Freshmen to whom they were to give special attention Craig Collins. Chairman of the Campus Pals, said Of the over 2.000 member class of 1991. this class was better behaved and more friendly than any I have worked with during my three years as a pal There were no fights and excellent par-tidpation in our events ' The or-£ganization sold a racord 900 £ packets as compared to the for-£ mer record of 750 last year The £ packets contained tickets to all the events scheduled by the Campus Pals Amidst a WMk of frustrating £ registration and placement tests. £ Freshmen could look forward to tho events planned by the Pals. They had rap sessions, sightseeing trips with their respective pals and a bus tour of the Washington. D C area. However, according to Collins, the Dating Came and the Variety Show were favorites. The Variety Show was held for the first time in Cramton Auditorium which allowed space for some upperclassmen to attend. As the lights went down, the Pals came from all areas of the Auditorium dancing to Lean On Me by Club Nouvea. They all came to the stage and posed as the announcer said ‘If there is ever a problem, you all ran lean on us'” The Campus Pals proved that they were a talented group of students as thay danced, sang, acted and rapped, keeping the Freshmen thoroughly entertained The pals received many phone calls — most latest night. I hate it here. I want to go homer Collins explained 'If the students could not be calmed down on the phone, we would get up. get dressed, and go to their rooms to talk to them.' The Campus Pal were adequately prepared to handle these types of problems They met for an entire week prior to the Fresh-mon’s arrival in order to insure that they could handle such situations. Collins added. 'We prepared as a football team would for a game ' Said Freshmen Beverly Smith. 'The Campus Pals were very helpful and knew ;ust how to cheer me up when I was feeling down. They made Freshmen week e whole lot better After that week of “initiation’ many Freshmen realized that they were, finally college coeds with all the nghu and privileges thereof.

Howard was quite popular Some of his best triends were Economics (called Econ for short), a guy who always seemed preoccupied with abstractions. Calculus, a girl you could never seem to understand; and History, someone who always had to know the whole story. Economics. Calculus, and History all wanted to go the library to do the 60 problem , four term papers, and nine case studies that were assigned for homework over the weekend. Howard, on the othor hand, preferred to go out with his other friends — Creek. Party. Shopper, and Clubbing. Greek wanted to participate in the step shows and social gatherings sponsored by her friends Alpharetta and Delta-reon Parly wanted to go to all of the local nightspots for happy hour and nappy mingling Shopper had the craziest urge to go to Georgetown ana pick out a wardrobe or two. and Clubbing felt it was only proper to accept an ox-tended invitation to ‘ladies Night at Choptcr-Three Nightclub Creek. Party. Shopper, and Clubbing were all tram the south-side of town and everyone know that south-siders wore never at home during the weekend Econ. Calculus, and History woro from the north-side of town, and each was determined to follow the instructions dictated from Professor Pray for an A From Mo's 6 8 pm Friday class. Howard decided to go out with the soulh-siders and spend his weekend doing absolutely, positively no work at all. He also decided that his friends from the north-side of town would be just fine all by thomsolvps. Howard was not a fictional fairytale character from Washington's never-never land. Tne dilemma he ex-porioncod in deciding whether the weekend was made for work or for play was common to many students. In search of a healthy balance between education and recreation, students sometimes made the mistake of tipping the scales, moving a balanced equilibrium to a dangerous extreme. Pursuing a serious education in the midst of a city that never seemed to sleep further enhanced the possibility for distractions from academics. For Iona-than Williams, a sophomore majoring in Business Management. the weekend was simply a long distraction from the frustrations of a hard week. He said. ‘When the weekend comes. I go wherever the party is! After all. man cannot live on Business alone ’ For Dionne Tearawrick. a unior majoring in Criminal ustice. the weekend called for a bout with our long lost friends Clubber and Party (Plus a new friend — Grub-bin'). I usually go to Houlihan. on Fridays for happy hour and then dinner at Houston's or a pizza place nearby. On Saturday. I get togethor with my friends for daiquiri and pina colada parlies in the dorm. Bottoms up! Weekends did provide a time for rest, relaxation and preparation for the week to come. The proper allocation of time, however, was very important, for all play and no work wuuld make Howard a dull boy indeed. Natasha D.

It was. in fACt. a celebration of the commencement of the new school year. All were invited to tho annual President's Pinic held on the West Campus at the 1 .aw School. With warm smilos and opened arms, students welcomed each other back to school, back to studying, back to tests, end of course, back to socializing. Students, alumni, and even administrators spewed out of cars and the buses chartered for the occasion. Upon arrival, one could detect the aroma of fried chickon, hot dogs and pork and beans, (couldn't smell the potato chips). Lines began to form at the food tables housed under the familiar yellow tent, as well as at tho booths dispensing the drinks. Many students were determined to got something to eat in case the food ran out. And they piled it on. The greasy mouths and sticky Lingers made greotlng people a little more difficult, but nevertheless, they managed. Underneath the tent was the music, and for those students who could bear to break away from the food, that moant timo to dance. The dance area was crowded. making it difficult for one to “gel down , however, the pain from the elbows in the side and tho kicks to the shin were hardly noticed For Freshmen, the President's Picnic represented In most instances, their first encounter with upperclassmen. except for their contact with Campus Pals.

Although occasional touches of vibrant colors were added to the simple solid shades, these color accents were restricted to accessories such as hats, belts, and scarfs Providing students with enough versatility to be creative, these accessories were practical enough to maintain the basic look that remained dominant throughout the season. The look went from loose and amorphous to tapered and tailored. Oversized sweaters and tunics were teamed with tight jeans and skirts to create the balanced imago in vogue In kcoping with the simplistic theme, women's outfits were completed with flat shoes. Students were more concerned with comfort and convenience when finding the right combination to create the perfect look.

Conveniently located on campus were the street vendors. from whom students purchased anything from umbrellas to perfume. “I like buying from the street vendors. commented lanel Jones, a sophomore Marketing major. “It's convenient and its cheap. I just bat my eyes and smile and usually the price comes down a buck or two.

As the purple neon lights on the front of the instrument radiated his name, he placed a white tube in his mouth and performed the group's hit. I Can Make You Dance.

He instructed the audience to wavo its hands in the air and sing along with the hand as they performed their second hit. Heard It Through The Grapevine.

When Troutman received permission from the audience to “act a fool he stripped down to hot pink tights and stood on his head as the audience roared with laughter and cheered him on. The band's last number was the latest hit “I Want to Be Your Man. Members of the audience sang along and yelled for more once the band had exited. Following intermission. Nona Hendricks, a former member of LaBelle. was introduced. Many in the audience were stunned and still others were quite excited to see that hor black leather leggings left absolutely nothing to cover hor buttocks but sheer black tights. Her first number was “Need Someone to l.ove“ during which she played the guitar After her number entitled “Female Trouble. many of the male spectators left their seats to stand in front of the stage Encouragement by security guards to move back was ig- nored as many appeared to be engrossed with the woman and her music.

Concer A New Addition to the Homecoming Activities Allowed Students to Feel the Touc h of The Master s l land It was a cool November Friday night. Students, faculty, staff and alumni came to the Howard Inn's ballroom which now had the appearance of an alluring nightclub. There they gathered, engaging in casual conversation and sipping colorful cocktails, awaiting the moment. And then it arrived, the entrance of jazz violinist. Noel Pointer. Illustrating his versatility and talent. Pointer rested his chin on his metallic blue instrument, closed his eyes, and seemingly effortlessly, played to perfection. Upon completion of his opening number, he greeted the audience. After meeting with non enthusiastic replies from the crowd, he remarked. Don't let me have to pull somo teeth in here tonight. Confidently, he began his second number. Imagination , which came from his second album Fantasia Mimicing the sounds of an old haunted house. Pointer and his band created audio illusions for the audience. By the end of this number. Pointer had won the affection of his audience. Displaying yet another dimension of his talent, he moved into the audience and began to sing As he walked through the audience. Pointer explained that he was the only black violin major at the Manhattan School of Music, and was constantly asked about why a black man would choose that instrument. as opposed to the drum or guitar. His reasoning proved quite sound. The fiddle was an important part of the West African culture, and when drums were outlawed during slavery, the fiddle and the banjo became the chief communicators of the black race. In tribute to that fact, Pointer moved on to his next number. “Roots” Halfway through his tribute. Pointer told the story of a battered old violin that was about to be sold for three dollars at an auction. However, and old man tightened its strings and played a beautiful melody, and the auctioneer was then able to got three thousand dollars for the same violin. He explained. It was the touch of the Master's hand that changed the fiddle's worth. Likewise, men are battered with sin and the master comes and adds value to their lives. But the foolish crowd still does not understand the touch of the Master's hand At this point, the crowd jumped to its feet and screamed for more.

They later accepted the opportunity to host a religious program on a cable television station. No longer were they kings without countries. The High Price of Democracy Haiti was a country torn by violence and political unrest. Almost two years after the departure of dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier (Baby Doc), it appeared as though Haiti was about to embark on the road to democracy. Though election attempts had been impeded by violence, the expectations for a November twenty-ninth election were high. People were sont by the Reagan Administration to witness this election in addition to eight million dollars sent in support of the electoral commission. Duvalier supporters and Haiti's government, headed by Lt. General Henri Namphy. however, did not want the electoral process to succeed. The elections were cancelled because of excessive violence leading up to the proposed election date. Said Alain Rucourt, Haitian election official. “We’ve already lost too many people and too much blood. Elections were rescheduled by the government with the only name appearing on the ballot being General Namphy. After other candidates withdrew from the election, the country’s military forces, over whom Namphy appointed himself commander in chief, manned the polls as people were expected to vote for the one name on the ballot. Half of Haiti's population is unemployed or underemployed as a result of corporate withdrawal following the unrest. In addition, twenty-eight years of rule by Duvalier left the country bankrupt. The scheduled election symbolized hope for many Haitians as they tried to move along the road to democracy. Unfortunately, the present government stands as yet another road block. 52 A Visit From Rome Pope John Paul mado his second visit to the United States declaring himself a pilgrim in the cause of justice and peace and human solidarity, striving to build up the one human family. The two major issues he addressed during his visit were Priestly Celibacy and the rolo of women in the Cotholic Church. After landing in Miami and being greeted by President and Mrs. Reagan. the Pope met with 750 priests representing every diocese in the country. Later he met with thousands of Haitian and Cuban Americans in the Miami neighborhood known as Little Italy. His eloquent delivery in both Creole and Spanish brought cheers from the crowd. His trip included visits to South Carolina. New Orleans. Texas, Arizona. California and Detroit. John Paul II met with Jewish loaders, Black Catholic loaders. Catholic educators. Protestant loaders, and Hispanic Americans during his visit to tho United States. However, the Pope also encountorod many protesters as he toured the country In San Francisco, he was met by gay-rights groups opposing the church's denunciations of homosexuality.

Said |ohn Phelan, chairman of the New York Stock Exchange. “This is tho nearest thing to a financial meltdown that I ever want to see. It was on that day that the stock market experienced a 508 point (22.6%) plunge in the Dow Jones Industrial Average This record decline exceeded the famous 1928 crash when the average slid to 12.8% triggering the Great Depression. Various economic conditions combined to cause the market crash However, the factor having the most influence was the government's substantial budget deficit. In addition, the dollar reached its lowest point against the West German mark and a forty year low against the Japanese yon on Black Monday. Several parties experienced huge losses as a result of the crasli. L.F. Rothschild Holdings. Inc. experienced a 44 million dollar lost which was one quarter of its net worth. One discount broker reported losses of 22 million dollars. In addition, a number of small investors encountorod huge losses, as well.

They concluded that tho federal deficit needed to bo cut by 30 to 35 billion dollars to stablize the market. Moreover, an increase in the national savings rate. Former Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs. Robert Hormats suggested. “We need a series of actions, a grand compromise involving the White House, the Hill and our major trading partners. The market crash focussed much attention on economic policy. For those candidates seeking 1988 presidential nomination, economic do's and don'ts became a major issue. 53 On Beat Making her presence felt once again in American Music was Whitney Houston.

Michael lackson opened his solo concert tour in Tokyo )apan to a sellout crowd of 38.000. Hot new solo artists emerged from defunct groups.

Formor Shalamar member Jody Wat-ley introduced her new album, which included Don't You Want Me. Other artists dominating the year’s airwaves were Alexander O'Neal and Stevie Wonder. The versatility and talent obvious throughout the year kept Americans tuning in to enjoy their favorite hits. In the Dark Catch Me -I’m Falling It was the fight of the year, if not of the decade. Marvelous Marvin Hagler. who had defended his Middle weight title twelve times and had not bcon defeated in elevon years, would meet Sugar Ray Leonard in the ring. The event which sparked an increase in both conversation and beating activity, was worth a thousand words and. in some cases, a thousand dollars! Leonard supporters declared that Hagler had been on top for too long and it was time that he was brought back down to earth. Those favoring Hagler proclaimed him to be unbeatable — simply out of this world! By the end Leonard proved his fans correct in what many considered to be the boxing upset of the year. On a split decision. Leonard beat Marvelous Marvin and became the champion of the World once aguin The overwhelming consensus was that Hagler was outboxed. but not beaten. It is the opinion of some that it was Leonard's unexpected victory against Hagler that inspired thirty-eight year old retired ex-heavyweight champion Larry Holmes to step back into the ring against the current Heavyweight Champ. Mike TVson. If Leonard's task was considered an uphill battle, then Holmes' undertaking would entail battling his way through a brick wall — literally. The Wall Won! In the fourth round Tyson ended any thoughts of a Holmes upset with a devastating knock-out. In doing so. he presumably ended l.arry Holmes' boxing careor and. at least for the moment, proved himself unbeatable. The increasing popularity of video cassette recorders greatly reduced the number of people who went to the movies. Yet. there were just some features that seemed too good to wait until they came out on cassette. Once again Eddie Murphy was a box office sensation. His three movies. The Golden Child. Beverly Hills Cop M.” and “Eddie Murphy — Raw” grossed a total of 265 million dollars His ‘Beverly Hills Cop II and the Golden Child ranked in the top five films of the year placing number one and number four respectively. Perhaps the year's most talked about hit. ‘Fatal Attraction grabbed audiences with its unusual portrayal of an extra-marital affair. The film aired abroad with its original ending which was changed in order to keep pace with what Americans wanted to see. The intensity of the conflict between the story's protagonist and antagonist left audiences speechless as many exited the theatres vowing to be monogamous. This year gave rise to black independent filmmaker Robert Townsend who produced, directed, wrote, and starred in his hit film Hollywood Shuffle. Financed in part with credit cards. Townsend's movie criticized Hollywood's stereotyping of blacks in film. Black filmmaker Spike Lee previewed his now offort on the big screen School Daze. in Washington D.C. “Cry Freedom starring Denzel Washington, portrayed the plight of blacks in South Africa. Other popular movies included Wall Street. “Broadcast News.” “Three Men and a Baby. and Good Morning Vietnam.

Tho latter victory paved the road to San Diego and Super Bowl twenty-two. Doug Williams also paved his way into tho history books as tho first Black quarterback ever to play in the Superbowl. Williams led the Redskins to a Superbowl victory with a record breaking porformonco. This coupled with his patience while waiting on the bench and performing excellently while on the field made him a national hero. Celebrity status aside, he visited the campus as ho had dono in tho past several limes, this time to receive various honors and awards. An Extended Time — Out As was tho caso in 1982. this year saw many professional players in the National Football League on the picket line: The strike was tho result of the owners' reluctance to allow free agency, which is the only way of improving the game's salary structure Owners contended that many of the NFL players did not wish to strike, but chose to do so because of loyalty to their union leaders These leaders held that management was trying to dissolve the union. Therefore, until tho dispute could be settled. In came the scabs. The animosity between the striking players and the scabs was intense Eggs and fists were hurled at vehicles belonging to the substitute players as they approached the practice field. Two members of the Kansas City Chiefs football team went as far as to wave unloaded guns at the scabs. Said Union leader Gene Upshaw. “They think they're the ranchors and we're the cattle. And they can always got more cattle. After threats of termination, the players loft the picket line and returned to tho fifty yard line. However, they were not granted the free agency they sought. 53 Right Between The Fs - Iran and Iraq United States warships have been present in the Persian Gulf for forty years maintaining its image as a world power. However, it was not until the commitment was made to place the American flag on eleven Kuwaiti oil tankers thus indicating American protection, that America’s presence in the Gulf became threatening. The United States awkwardly positioned itself in the middle of a seven-year old strugglo between Iran and Iraq. Despite the facts that Iraqi attacks on Gulf traffic interfered most in Persian Gulf shipping, and was responsible for the attack on the U.S.S. Stark in May. the Keagan Administration went through with its plan to put American flags on tankers belonging to Irng's ally. Kuwait. Yet. the United States' stated objective was to protect oil shipments. Reduction in tanker traffic would have resulted in greater damage to Iran than Iraq. Therefore. America's presence in the Gulf defended Iran's strategic interests. In order to maintain its superpower status, the United States was placed in the position of having to make projections of force that could never be totally riskless. According to one Western diplomat in the Persian Gulf. “If the U.S. backs out of this one. it won't have enough credibility to float a teacup. A Matter of Black and White No longer was there separate but equal. But for many, the world was still viewed in terms of black and white. True, very rarely was the word nigger uttered from the lips. But very often it was embedded in the soul. Two occurrences made Black Americans realize that perhaps many had awakened too soon from the “dream. A1 Camp-ons. Vice President of the Los Angeles Dodgers, bluntly expressed his opinion concerning the aptitude and abilities of Afro-Amori-cans in managerial positions. Said Mr. Campanis on ABC's Nightline Blacks “may not have some of the necessities to be Managers and Executives and added Why aro ... black people not good swimmers? Because they don't have the buoyancy. “jimmy the Greek. CBS sports analyst. definitely found new meaning in the proverbial “foot in the mouth. Mr. Snyder gave a brilliant explanation of how black athletes were superior because of their larger thighs and stronger backs: these factors, were attributed. to slave owners breeding only the healthiest male and females to produce stronger slaves. Further, he commented, that if blacks were allowed into coaching and management. there would be no positions available to whites. Whites. he declared. “have to have something left. He. too was terminated. Comments such as theso, accompa- nied by incidents like the flying of the Confederate flag on the top of South Carolina's state capital and the conviction of three white males for the racial slaying of a Michael Griffith, black male, in predominantly white. Howard Beach. New York have brought home the fact that racism has not been put to rest, but on the contrary was wide awake and waiting to pounce. Peace on Earth; Goodwill to Men In 1985. it was Geneva. In 1986. it was Reykjavik. In 1987. it was Washington where the leaders of the world’s two most powerful countries met for another summit. The Soviet Union’s General Secretary. Mikhail Gorbachov, took America by storm during his Christmas Summit with President Reagan. Gorbachev and Reagan met to sign the INF Treaty which would ban all intermediate range missiles. The President even expressed hopes for a second treaty that would limit long range weapons that would be signed during a visit to Moscow. While many were captured by Gorbachev's charisma, others concerned themselves with the activities of the first ladies, still others were more concerned with the reason which brought Gorbachev to America. They focussed on the goal the two leaders wished to achieve. The year should have been remembered, if for only one thing, as the year that two adversaries took the first stop towards pcaco. 56 Robert Bork. nominated by President Ronald Reagan to fill the vacant seal on the Supreme Court, faced scrutiny by an entire nation as he attempted to gain Senate confirmation. An extremely conservative nominee. Bork raised eyebrows with his views on civil rights, abortion, privacy, and religion. Many citizens were ap-pauled by his judicial philosophy initiating Block Bork campaigns which ultimately led to his rejection. Robert Bork later resigned his position as Federal Appeals Court judgo to defend his judicial philosophy. Said Mr. Bork. 'Liberal, moderate, conservative shouldn't apply to judging. The correct philosophy is to judge according to the intent of the legislature or the intent of the Constitution’s framers. Bork's defeat caused President Reagan to vow to name somoono just as 'objectionable to liberals. His second nomination was that of forty-one year old Douglas Ginsburg. who would have been the fourth youngest justice over. Many reforrod to Ginsberg as Baby Bork because of similar conservative stands they shared opposing government regulation and favoring easier mergers. Yet. Ginsburg remained quiet on many of the issues which led to Bork's defeat Said Ar- thur Kropp of People for the American Away. “It's a blank slate — the emotional issues of the Bork fight aren't there now. Ginsberg, however, withdrew his name from consideration during the Senate conformation hearings when he admitttud to experimenting with marijuana. Finally came the nomination of Anthony Kennedy, a Sacramento Appeals Court judge with a well qualified rating from the American Bar Association Kennedy's two days of questioning went much more smoothly than that of the other two nominees Emphasizing his respect for previous Supremo Court decision and his boliof in limiting Government intrusion into individual liberties. Kennedy seemed to have learned from the others' mistakes. His confirmation by the Senate was expected without rebuttal The appointment of a Supreme Court judge influences legal decisions for many years since justices servo life-terms.

Mini Mania Long enough to cover the subject, short enough to keep it interesting. That was the advice of many teachers regarding the length of research papers Advico which also appliod to the length of a woman's skirt This year’s fashion trend was in keeping with this advice It was the era of the miniskirt — plaid, leather, suede or other Worn usually with bulky sweaters, the mini skill was extremely versatile. Usually, miniskirts were worn with flat shoes. However, when it was time to dress up. high heels accented the skirts as women turned heads and won hearts. Evan the skirts to business suits were shorter this year allowing business women to also show a little leg. Said Senior Kenny Edwars. 'There is nothing like a woman in a miniskirt. The roRUtgence of tho miniskirt indicated the trend toward loss conservatism in dress. Mo longer were persons simply getting dressed, they were making fashion statements. The miniskirt assisted in making these statements while following the advico of teachers. From Obscurity to Fame Before. it was barely noticed. Hidden beneath the coat only an inking of color was apparent as it served its function to keep the neck warm. However, this year, the scarf made its debut. Adding color end finesse to simple outfits, large scarfs were usually worn dra| ed from the shoulder with the ends being lu ked around the waist by a belt Others pretend to wear scarfs around the neck tied like a bandana Mans of the campus fashion conscious wore scarfs with both ends falling down the back, lunior Deborah Paige suggested, scarfs have become a fashion must!' Scarfs proved to be a necessary accessory for those who wantod to have the look During the winter months, students draped them over their coats instead of wearing them beneath. The scarf was no longer simply part of an outfit. Instead, in many cases, it made the outfit' Hoop Hoop Hurray Hoop earrings were big this voar... in more ways than one All across campus, ladies were spotted with gold or silver hoops dangling from their ears. Though the sizes varied, most women wore the larger earrings which accented many different hairstyles as well as a variety of outfits. Most students praised the hoop earrings versatility. Whether worn with dress or leans, the earrings were just enough to catch the attention. Senior Sonya Norman suggested. “Hoop earrings are the type of jewelry you never have to take off They'll go just as well with tomorrow's outfit as they did with today's. Hoop. Hoop. Hurray' The Trendy Fendi Vet another stage in the evolution of handbags occurred The cycle could be traced back to the t-ouis Yutton handbag which, at one time, was the University’s official women's tote. The next stage in the cycle came with the Gucci. To carry anything other than a handbag displaying the two inverted “G's was grounds for being charged with the crime of not being “with it The next handbag to distinguish itself from the other players was none other than the coach. Though these leathor products were still extremely popular during the year, a new stage semerl to have emerged In tho handbag evolution. Gaining in popularity was the Fendi handbag, sold not only at Fendi shops, but at exclusive department stores as well. They like the other types mentioned, came in different sizes and styles to accommodate all tasto. Bearing the two inverted F's. Fendi bags began to appear more frequently hanging front the shoulders of the extremely fashion conscious. Sonior Cheresse Newton commented. “I really like Fendi products They tend to go with everything and are quality handbags. And the cycle continued- Crimp de la Crimp One particular trend dominated hairstyles this year. Regard loss of length or style, many coiffures were adorned with waves or crimps The look added body and life to ordinarily simple hairstyles allowing ladies to display ultimate attitude. Crimpers and body wavers became as essential to hair care as hot curlers and hair spray. Said Marny Gillespie, a sophomore Accounting major. Crimps have added a new dimension to hair-styling. They individualize basic haircuts. Talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey’s hairstyle, which features waves in front, helped to popularize the look However, it was not necessary to be a star to enjoy the “Crimp de la Crimp of hairstyling. Goodbye Blues It was this year that the blue jean lost the blue In the beginning, leans were navy blue, and then, t h o creativity began The early seventies introduced the tie-dyed jean, with the bleach splotched ragged Levi gaining popularity in the latter part of the decade The slightly faded lean then gave way to the stone washed lean. But at last this was the year of the acid-washed jean. Levi. Guess, and most other popular brands were elated at the popularity of the white acid-treated tean. Frequently, the not so blue, blue leans were worn with a hole displaying the naked knee Acid-washed jeans were the one thing that every wardrobe could not do without They made the year's difference between mere dressing and stepping out in style. Fashionable Vision The colored contact was added to this year's list of fashionable accessories. It was interesting to see how the freedom of choice had extended to eye color. Students chose hues including hazel, green and blue The altering of one's eyecolor initiated much discussion regarding culture denial Many felt that students who wore colored contacts were attempting to simulate the while face Others foil that the changing of oye color represented a personal freedom and took the “what makes you happy attitude. Said Carolyn Slennett. Colored contacts are simply a means of enhancing beauty. They fall along the same lines as make-up.' However. William (ones commented. “One morning some person is going to wake up and pul a green contact in one eye and blue contact In the other. Maybe then, they will have had enough of changing oye color with moods Just a Hair Bit More Please!! It was amazing what an afternoon at the hair salon could do. Yes. this was the year for hair — long hair — weaved hair. Since some of the more popular styles required medium to long hair, many young ladies who wanted some hair to shake lust had it added Previously, hair vs eas ing was considered taboo However, after popular entertainers such as |anet lackson. Lisa Bonet. and Whitney Houston all had styles fashioned with weaved hair, the practice became very popular in hair salons at ross the country. Hair stylist Beatrice Crutcher of Cosmopolitan Hair Fashions commented. Weaved hair actually helps the real hair to grow because it absorbs the shock of everyday combing and brushing’ Said l.azarrc Potior, a Finance student. Black women with braids remind me of African princesses 1 really like the look Hair weaving and extensions offered yet another option to black women for hair care Similiarly. the processes provided ladies with more versatility In styling These processes made any hairstyle accessible to anyone. The Fall Semester Brought Scandal and Intrigue As the Mecca Turned Student committeos and governing bodies were subject to very close scrutiny Many Inquiries were made into the allocation of funds and soundness of judgment of many of the student organizations. Two such incidents were highly publicized and probably forced many other organizations to fine tune their operations to prevent investigation and embarrassment. The first such incident involved the Liberal Arts Student Council Executive Treasurer Kimberly Church-well filed a complaint with Vincent lohns. Dean of Student Life and Activities. which alleged that her signature had been forged on various financial documents during the summer months. Executive President of the Council Junior Maynard Clarke, admitted to the forgeries but added that they were done so that the council might be able to carry on its business when Churchwell disappeared for a month during the summer. While Churchwell argued that her absence during the summer was the result of a front end agreement among the Council officers which •-lowed me to live at home during thv summer. The other Executive Council members denied that such an agreement had been made. Among the documents containing the forged signature were a Si 15 service request for LASC stationer)', a $250 advance disbursement request for services rendered to Tyrone Gray which was subsequently canceled, a unprocessed S950 time and attendance pay roll report, a $100 petty cash requesl for federal express and a $100 request for tho purchase of ink pens. The second incident was tho confusion surrounding the planning of (he homecoming activities. The Homecoming Steering Committee Chairman. Joseph Gibson, suffered most of the criticism. Rumor had it that there was a personal conflict between Mr. Gibson and some of the management of the Hilltop staff, possibly bringing about some of the criticism After no entertainer for the pop or gospel con- certs had been contracted as late as early October the campus was filled writh anxiety. Howovor. tho campus fear was proven to be unfounded as homecoming was a success. The only disappointment was the Pop concert's line-up of Nona Hendricks and Roger Troutman and Zapp 'Those entertainers iust didn't appeal to the student body I'm sure that a school of this size and caliber could have secured a more attractive lineup. said senior Sonya N’orman If nothing else, these scandals raised the consciousness of students about the activities and functions of their studont leadership organizations. The incidents also reminded student leaders, many of whom are paid for their offorls. that they were held accountable for their actions and that situations involving controversial derisions and deed will he brought to the attention of the Student Body On Top of It All Give Me Some Skin Ye , skin was Indeed in! The fashion conscious student had a multitude of accessories made of either eel skin, snake skin or lizard. Wallets and keychains were most popular and probably least expensive. Pocket-books. briefcases, portfolios and even shoes make of skin dominated the yard as most students wanted to make sure they were in voguo. Eel skin seemed to be the most popular of rep-tilos with Just about every student owning something made of it—if only a lipstick holder Senior Coray Sully noted. Eel skin is classy and has taken the place of leather for accessories. Finally, students could show some skin without getting arrested! In The Frame of Things Despito the popularity of contact lenses, there were still many students who wore glasses. And who said eyewear could not be fashionable? But. of course, only E.K.’s. These glasses had rather (hick frames coming in an array of colors, but were basically characterized by the snake skin design positioned on both sides. Classes were extremely popular on campus as they addod a fashionable flair to eyewear, lust as tissues became known as kleenex. E.K.'s became synonymous with eyewear. For many, there simply was no substitute. The winter set in and the wind started to blow, being fashionable took a back seat to being warm. Winter attire on the yard seemed to suggest that tho student body had become a bit wiser when it came to dressing for the weather. Whereas, the coat, gloves and scarves were once the principal components of winter wear, the list was amended to include, once again, an essential item —the hat. As the temperature got colder and ears got redder, once again it was discovered that a hat could help alleviate this problem. But. of course, tho fashion conscious would not settle for just any type nf hat They preferred the brim. And soon, the rest of the student body concurred. Hats with wide brims helped to turn o plain coat and scarf into a high fashion ensemble. While it was true that hats were worn to keep the cold out. many ladies also used them to cover the not so done hairdos. A simple solution was found to a nagging problem. Finally, women found a way to be fly —even with no curls!

These animals spent their days in carefree bliss and their nights in party heaven. Their motto was simply: “Oh I'll study for that test... tomorrow ’ In between these two extremes were the entrepreneurs, who. with continuous schemes, wore always attempting to make some fast money.There were the activists who endeavored to raise the consciousness of their follow classmates while helping various causes and movements. Their earnest pleas to conquer student apathy could often be heard. In this sea of people, wore those in pursuit of high fashion. Draped in designer garb from head to toe. these students kept others envious, and aware of the latest fashion trends and wondering just how they could afford these garments. It was often said that “people here are so snobbish And some were. There were times when a familiar faco was covered over by a blank stare, and no returning smile met the one offered. A subclass of this group was t ho social climber, whose motto was what can you do for me? This person's philosophy was assuredly, networking.

There were linos at the gate of the football games. However. the longest and must frustrating lines were those essociotod with registering For many students, tho excitement of returning to school was ruined by the rough, rigorous routine of registration. Registration was usually a long, intense process, but this years’ was undoubtably one of the worst. There were several reasons for this, many stemming from problems in the Offico of Financial Aid. The probloms bogan in the previous academic year when stringent federal regulations made qualifying for aid more difficult, thus escalating the number of students being verified by the government. Compounding tho problom was the dramatic increase in students applying for aid as independent minors. For those students, verification by the government was a automatic pro- Registration coss. Thus, with the varying criteria to meet in order to qualify for aid.approximate-ly 80% of the student body was verified. This meant that even though monies had been awarded to students, this money could not be used for registration until the verification process was complete. The University, awaro of the plight of these students, allowed them to register using aid that was pending verification. The result of this policy was a 16.5 million dollar debt to the University. This prompted hesitancy on the university’s part when faced with a similiar situation in the current academic year. The new school year brought additional problems. With a backlog of financial aid applications from tho previous year to be processed and little computerization, the Financial Aid office found itself swamped with now applications for aid and little moans of processing and awarding aid quickly. After a summer of uncertainty. many students returned. with no aid. to mass confusion. Policies changed daily, until the University instituted firm guidelines. If students were awarded aid last year and applied for the same type of aid this year, then they were allowed to register. However, others who did not fall into this category had to find money from other sources. Account Analyst Wilma Jones said of registration. This was the hardest I’ve seen in fourteen years. This year we got a new bursar and new administration members. Consequently, there were a lot of changes in policy. Everyday there was a new change and it was hard for students to understand these changes. Students had different feelings about registration. Said James Benson, a sophomore Marketing major. None of my aid was in my account, so. in order to prevent my classes from being dropped. I had to really search for money. It was like drawing water from wood. Senior Michael Thomas expressed his feelings. “There are so many questions and so many people that you have to ask for a simple correct response, that you have to do a lot of unnecessary waiting. You had to dig docp to get answors to questions as university personnel were either evasive or simply unware Because most students were not registered at the end of the time period allotted. registration was extended for another week. However, according to Dean William Sherrill, Doan of Admissions. next year’s registration process should improve as the Financial Aid office would be computerized by March. Inspite of the difficulties encountered, many students were able to make ends meet during registration and in the rough period that followed. as they awaited financial assistance. The general feeling among students was best summed up by Andrea Ward, a Speech Pathology major. Somehow I managed to make it through this registration period I just hope next year proves to be better, because I couldn't endure this again. by Andrea White Layout by Simone Gittens Latina D.

Fearing the horrors of Academic Probation, some students struggled to C their way through .P. does not stand for A Advanced Placement. It is. rather, the nickname of a ugly monster that calls himself Academic Probation. He lurked everywhere on campus. stalking his prey, and waiting for grade reports to be sent out before pouncing on his many luckless victims. There were students who survived A.P. (some perhaps a little more bedraggled than others, bul survivors all the same): hut academic probation dragged quite a few people down with him each semester. Although A.P. himself was unavailable for comment. it was possible to gain a little insight into his workings by contacting thoso who knew him well. A.P. had two distinct stalking patterns according to Vernice Howard, director of Educational Advisory Center in the College of Liberal Arts. She explained that if a freshman incurred the wrath of A.P. after his or her first semester (grade point average of less than 1.8), then that student had three semesters to raise their cumulative average to at least a 2.0. This was done to assure freshmen two years in residonco here. However, all other students had to maintain at least a 2.0. or be subject to academic Krobation. These students ad only two someslers after that to clear their records. If at the end of the probationary period the students cumulative average was not at least a 2.0. that student would be suspended from the University. Most students tended to meot A.P. during their freshman year. There were numbers to back that up. Re-vonda Long, research assistant in the College Research Services observed after looking at the statistics that “the percentages of students incurring academic probation after their freshman year tended to fall. In one entering class, only 64.5% of the students in Liberal Arts retained their good standing. Half of a percent were expelled. Only 13% of ihn seniors were on probation. Cont’d I.ennie Moore |r.

Mrs. Hammond exemplified the determination to succeed regardless of sex. race or in her casc-age. Already a published composer. astute music teacher, and founder of Hammond Institute of Music and Fine Arts in Northwest Washington. Mrs. Hammond decided her encore would be to obtain the degree on which she began work here in 1922. Lots of senior citizens turn 65 and think that life Is over. stated Hammond. 1 love to learn and I'm happy that many have looked at me and gone back to school. In 1925, while enrolled at the University. Hammond became a young widow and had to postpone her studies in order to care for seven young children. Six of the seven attended this institution with three earning degrees here. Hammond, who attended class twice a week, said I do not feel uncomfort- I able among my follow students. I love to see learning going on. However, she has observed a difforonce between students presently attending the University and those matriculating here when she first enrolled. She stated. In 1922. most people studied medicine, law. teaching or preaching. Students today are more enthusiastic and individualistic. These characteristics can be attributed in part to the broader scope of opportunities being afforded this generation. As a music therapist and psychologist. Hammond has devoted hersolf to tho arts because we need more artists among our people. She has composed three short pieces and has written an operetta this year for the University. In addition. Hammond was awarded the Certificate of Achievement from the National Music Honor Society. Will the lady ever stop? Retire? She answered in response to the question.

This University start-©d its Pharm D. program in 1983. It provided a means for students to by-pass the bachelor's degree and attain a doctorate in six years as opposed to first obtaining a bachelors degree in 5 years then spending an additional 2 years in pursuit of a Pharm D. degree. The program required that students attend classes for twosummersand maintains 3.0 GPA during the professional phase. According to Dr. Telang. an estimated 99% of the students who started the program finished successfully. Dian Moniz. a participant in the program said “1 choose the accelerated program because it offered me more control over the rate of my education. It's challenging, but I enjoy it.” Similar to the Pharm D. program, were the Bachelor of Science Doctor of Dental Surgory (BS DDS) and tho Bachelor of Science Medi-cal Doctor (BS MD) programs. These programs allowed students to complete the requirements for these degrees in six years instead of the customary eight years. In the undergraduate phase, students took an average of about 21 credits a semester. Summer school, maintainancc of a 3.5 grade point average and courses in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences were required in the two yoar undorgraduate phase of the program. Upon completion of this phase, students were required to apply to either the College of Dentistry and Medicine at this University. Upon acceptance and completion of the first two years of professional school, the Bachelor of Science degree was awarded The two programs were designed for students who were sure about their career choice. Said Saba Samce. a BS MD student. “It takes a lot of commitment. I've literally had to give up my social life and live in tho Iibrory: but shaving two years off the regular eight is certainly worth it. That thought has kept me going. Despite the sacrifices one had to make to participate in an accelerated program, well defined career goals, determination and hard work, allowed desorving students to take a shortcut to success. by Sherri Milner Layout by Tracy Matthews Chukwura Oneijve. a B.S M.D. participant, now in medical school, finds that long hours in the library apply to both phases of the program.

Other students cut hair in the dorm , privately tutored students, typed papers and. on most holidays provided transportation to the airport, bus staion. and train station.

Alexis Eatman. a senior Marketing major suggested. “If you can think of a service or product that is in high demand. all it takes is a little initiative to make money.

We’ve all heard comments similar to these when something that is strange, weird, or just a lad bit bizarre is done. While it was very difficult to get people to talk about their idiosyncrasies, some students have finally chosen to come forward. Behind door number one was Lenny Roundtree, a senior Music Composition major. As he cautiously retrieved a smashed piece of cherry pie in a ziploc bag. he admitted that he occasionally ate peanut butter and tomato sandwiches and drank glasses of V-8 and orange juice mixed together. Advice to Lenny — got a new cook! Behind door number two was Aida Olabi. a freshman in the School of Business. She revealed. “The night before classes I would stand in my closet and scream if I did not know what to put on. It helped me get myself together. Advice to Aida — next time, try Calvin Klein co- ordinates Behind door number three was Roger Hicks. He had a problem of a totally different magnitude, for whenever he was hungry. Roger just tossed a piece of paper in his mouth. Said Hicks. “1 just ball the paper up and throw it in my mouth. Umm, good! Advice to Roger — Cracker lacks work just as well Behind door number four was Milton Howard, a senior Accounting major. He said.“l positively despise girls who pop gum. especially those who have perfected the chew and grind technique. It’s quite unattractive! Advice to Milton — pucker up!

Though it was very hard for some to believe, true friendships between the sexes did exist. The phrase “we’re just friends came to mean exactly that: a person whom one knew, liked and trusted. From a woman's perspective many females sought male friendships because, according to sophomore Michelle Young, a TV Production major. “Guys aro easier to talk to. Janeen Clayton, a freshman in the College of Liberal Arts commented. Mon make bettor friends because they’re more honest than girls. A girl will tell you what you want to hear, whereas a guy will be a lot more open. She addod, “If a guy that you like has a really bad reputation, most girlfriends will spare your feelings and not disclose what they know about his past. A guy. however, would probably say. 'Hey I know this guy. Don’t consider him. He’s no good for you'. From the man's perspec- tive. many men chose female companionship because of the motherly attention they received. Girls are more caring than guys. Said Trevor Stevens. a sophomore Finance major. “Kclationships with guys are often more shallow he added. Troy Pinckney, a sophomore Broadcast major stated. “When I’m involved in a platonic relationship with a woman, she tends to be on the motherly side. She’ll tell me things like ‘don't drink, don't smoke, you need to study.’ etc. These friends help me to put things in the proper perspective. Lindsoy Merritt, a sophomore Finance major suggested. “With women, you're free to be yourself You feel more comfortable in terms of true feelings. With males, however. there will always be a sense of competitiveness. Some platonic relationships did bloom into romances. Rodney Sadler and Madeline McClenney were a perfect oxamplo.

Madelyn McClenny finds that leftover tuna is an appropriate choice for satisfying midnight cravings. Midnight Aglanco at the shelf revealed a box of raisins and a handful of Com Chex cereal. A look in the refrigerator turned up a half carton of milk and two tablespoons of vanilla ice cream. After a few minutes, a new snack was created—Corn Chex a la Raisin do Creme. The incentive for such a creation? The Midnight Mun-chies! Necessity was the mother of invention when it came to midnight snacks for students. Usually, during long hours of studying, somewhere between the Calculus and Chemistry, the stomach growled, the head ached, and the lip trembled. There were times when budget constraints did not allow coeds to bead to the Macke room to microwave Sarah Lee cheese danishes. In these instances, croativity was the solution to cravings For students residing in the apartment style dormolories, whatever was in the refrigerator was transformed into something not only edible, but often times, appetizing. “My favorite is a microwave peanut butter, felly, and bar-becue sandwich. said Mark Johnson, a Sutton Plaza resident. A large numbers of students. whose pocketbooks Munehies would allow, enjoyed pizza from one of the neighborhood twenty-four hour pizza delivery shops. 1 like pizza because it’s usually tho first thing I think of to eat late at night, and I can pay for it by check.” said Antoine Mull, a freshman Consumer Studies major. There were some students who relied on Charlie to help them through the Midnight Munehies. It was tuna or starvo! Said freshman Engineering major Margaret fames We always have a lot of tuna because all my roommates like it and it’s really cheap. However, some students disagreed. Said senior Donna Jones. “You have to have pickles, eggs, and mayonnaise to make tuna taste good. Other favorites mentioned were chili and cheese nachos from a nearby Seven-Eleven and Utz barbecue potato chips usually purchased in advance at the campus store. The Midnight Munehies did add a couple of unwanted pounds to a few students, however, rather than diet, some found the one sure way of stopping the weight gain after midnight.

Completing tl� e required oourse within four years was The Exception Rather than the Rule Tf one were to play word as-Isocialion games with a student. the questions and responses could sound like this: school ... work, graduation ... relief, graduation in four years ... impossible. Graduating within a four year time frame has become more the exception than the rule. Why has this happened? The suggestions are endless: Divisional requirements are a hassle. My advisor didn't tell me ... “1 dropped Functions H. twice Ideally, even with the number of credits required for graduation ranging from 124 to 127. a steady course load of 16 credits por semester would ensure graduation in four years. The key here, of coures, was stability. Dropping classes and changing majors did not fit into the plan. Michael Reed attributed his five year stay to switching from the School of Architecture and Planning to the School of Business He found that many of the classes that were require- ments for one school were useless in another, and switching schools was very much like starting all over. Another stumbling block was the inability to take certain classes simultaneously, c.g. Calculus I and II; yet another roadblock was the fact that some classes were only offered one semester per year. “What can you do when the only class in your major that you need isn't being offered? . was one science major’s lament. All these factors could ultimately result in an extra semester or two. In many majors, such as chemistry, zoology and mathematics, it was noccs-sary to begin taking classes in those majors during the freshman year In order to graduate on time. Sherri Milner. a sophomore Zoology major, said. ‘My advisor advised me against taking zoology In my first two semesters: but as zoology is the prerequisite for all of the classes in my major. I don't want to pul if off. so I really don't know what to do. Freshmen were often unsure of what they wanted to major in. Junior. Erica Haskins, was proof of that. “1 didn’t know what I wanted to major in freshman year, so I’m a year behind now.” Often. that indecision was problematic Andrea White, senior finance major stated, students must determine their life path upon ontering college . Another problem arose in advising. Advisors expected students to know which classes they needed beforehand. Students expected advisors to advise. “I thought my advisor was supposed to help mo, complained Karen Samuols. Instead I got messed up. Some advisors were not aware of various requirements or alternative course schemes. For example. after his sophomore year a student received a major advisor for his final two years, while these advisors wore fully aware of the major courses that the students needed to take, they were sometimes unaware of the general education requirements that students had to take. “Most students arc not properly advised on available curricula and tend to change their major when they find out what is available. Robert Frelow. a senior who despite misadvising will graduate on time, explained that he was told by his advisor that there was no such major as Communications Ijiw. There was. Divisional requirements were only small obstacles, usually serving as easy filler classes that must nevertheless be taken. The true problems stemmed from the inflexibility of the system, and tho information gaps that appeared. Graduation in four years has become a Mission Impossible—the mission, should it be accepted, was to cut through advisory confusion. to change majors only once, and to still graduate on time.

Tell. She is known for her abilities to advise students, predict their futures and talk to the subconscious: Listen as she prepares her forecast. As I gaze into my crystal ball and read into the stars. I can tell your deepest, darkest. secrets. I can disclose your desires and your dislikes. I can predict your future. 1 can read it in the cards. 1 can find it in the tea leaves. It is written in the lines of your palm. It is evident by the book bag you carry! Much like the beliefs of the fictitious Madame Tote N. Tell, students on campus categorized one another, whether consciously or unknowingly. based on their book bags. Portfolio Briefcaae: Possessing a willingness to get the job done: these students definitely believed in busi- ness before pleasure. They were assumed to be people bound for corporate America. Their conversations were verbose. Usually found in a suit, they were aggressive and organized. Backpack This was a difficult category to define, but most often these people were quit studious, (or wanted to portray that image) and needed something sturdy to lug around six 500 page textbooks at a time. Of course, proper back support was a must. Duffel: The duffel carrier was ofton well rounded, with many interests; thus he needed a larger book bag to transport the necessities for all aspocts of his life. Designer Bags The student who toted the Fendi. Gucci, and Louis Vuitton was among the fashion conscious crew. Typically, he or she had an extensive wardrobe to go with the bag or was lacking a wardrobe because of all of the money that was spent on the bag. One could count on this person for all the latest party information. Leather Tbles This student was more concerned with style than name. He or she was fashion conscious but not for the sake of identifying with a name. Nevertheless. a backpack simply would uot do! This student was independent and found satisfaction with the finer things in life As with all stereotypes and generalizations, these categorizations were not all-encompassing They did provo. however, that just as the clothes we wore revealed our sense of style, the music we listened to depicted our moods, and the books we read indicated our interest, the book bags we carried were extensions of our personalities. by Sherri Milner Layout by Simone Gittens Denyse Fritz.

Because many students had neglected to bring records of their required shots, medical holds prevented their registration process. D C. Law 3-20 required all students under the age of twonty-six to show proof of vaccinations for measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria. and tetanus. Most local universities ignored tho law until approximately two and one half years ago. This University attemped to make the process as simple as possible for those who were in need of shots by making arrangements for the vaccinations to be administered by the federal government free of charge. However, many students chose not to take advantage of the option. Whenever a student was accepted to the University, the registrar sent a packet of materials including a letter explaining D.C. Law 3-20. Students were forewarned that before being allowed to register, they would hove to comply. According to McClain Garrett. Director of the Health Center, many students ignored this warning. Tho first year after tho law's enactment about ninety percent of the student body was put on medical hold , so the University made some allowances. A student could bring a high school record of shots, a physicians record of the shots, or a confirming statement from a physician. Each year the statistics improved. Garrett attempted to explain that the long lines were unfortunate, for although students may have attempted to comply, other problems surfaced He said. “For example. periodically records came in but one shot may have been outdated ... for example, a tetanus shot can't be more than ten years old. There were also problems with the measles vaccine. If it was given prior to 1969, it had to be readministered because of changes. Also, if the student received a measles shot before he was eighteen months old. ho would have to take it again. An apple a day may have kept the doctor away, but unless it served as a vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria. or tetanus, students had to roll up their sleeves, make a fist, and forget about registration, at least for a while. What appeared to be pure madness as a result of long lines, frustration, and confusion was actually tho Health Center’s attempt to obey the law. by Sheri Milner Layout by TVacy Matthews 102 Health Center Ikotidem Briana Hunter.

Beast Prod wmmmm■ The dramatic performers at Ira Aldridge supported Shakespeare's assertion that All the World's a Stage The Department of Drama of the College of Fine Arts staged several new and innovative performances at the Ira Aldridge Theater. The marquis displayed the versatility of the performances which included comedy, dance and Adult drama. The quality of the productions did not reflect the fact that the Ira Aldridge stage was sorving as a training ground for many budding performers. The year began with the production of “Livin’ Fat. a comedy writton by Judi Ann Mason while she was still an undergraudate college student. The play told tho tale of a poor southern family and their dilemma over what to do with a large sum of money they found. This play, which contained the same theme as the popular A Raisin in the Sun” got the year off to a hilarious start. Director Kelsey E. Collie commented. “The play contained several messages in- cluding togetherness of the Black family and that we should take advantage of situations.” Senior Joy Hunter admitted. ”1 thought it was a fun play. The performers truly made me believe them.” Ernest Mercer, who played the part of “Boo ; mentioned. “The show was never the same any night. However, during every performance you could fool the support and the positivo energy.” Tho adult drama Agnes of God by John Pleimeier was the next performance to be staged. A doad baby found strangled in a convent wastebasket began the mystery of how the baby could have been conceived and who killed it. The threo stunning actresses. Wendy Robinson, Letha Remington, and Brigitte Barnett, were brilliant, as they dramatized the age-old debate between science and religion. Senior Dawn Allwood proclaimed. I have never seen a play 1 enjoyed more. Tho actressos wore great! “Dance Concert coordinated by Howard’s John Per-pencr was a night of dance styles ranging from African tribal to classical. The leaps and kicks of the University’s most talented dancers had tho audience jumping to the rhythm of the Black American tradition of dance. “A Streetcar Named Desire wos the lost ploy. This American classic tragedy by Tennessee Williams was about an individual and a dying way of life. Such a thought provoking ploy ended the dramatic year on an introspective note. The Ira Aldridge stage was once the showcase for such great performers as Phylida Rashad. Debbie Allen and Roberta Flack. While young talent was being refined, audiences were allowed the opportunity to enjoy some of America’s best-loved dramas and musicals. By Stephanie H.

Some were faced with decisions about fust which was better — the Army. Navy. Air Force, or Marines. Others tried to decide whether they should go to Junior college first or straight to a four year institution; whether they should stay at home for school or go to a college in another city; or whether or not to attend a historically black institution. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. These along with the pressuro of S.A.T.'s. tho prom and graduation. were enough to make one fail a course in order to have another year to prepare. For those who were contemplating attending this institution, there was a staff of people to provide all the necessary information to assist in making a final decision. For many prospective students. questions abounded regarding the realitios of attending this university. Thp process of choosing a potential alma mater included dispelling those misconceptions commonly formed about the institution, so that a desir- able choice could have been made based only upon facts. In order to find out the facts, students many times sought out alumni. More commonly, prospective students sought those current students for information on what they could expect. By contributing to the overall recruitment effort of promising students from the Black community, students and faculty alike took pride in knowing that they were helpingsome-one to make such an important docision. Student Ambassadors were a group of undergraduates who volunteered their time for the recruitment of students from the community. Under the leadership of Chester Wilson, their duties included conducting campus tours, attending college fairs as University representatives, and accurately describing the University and its policies to high school guidanco counselors and teachers. Making time for the recruitment effort in what were often times very busy schedules was an indication of the diligence and dedication of the Student Ambassadors. Zaria Hunt, a sophomore Zoology major involved in the organization for two years remarked. I enjoy telling people about Howard and dispelling any myths that they may have. Also. I think that it is important to show prospective students the campus from the students point of view. In that way, they have a more accurate depiction of what to expect. Andre Smith, a Philosophy major from Durham. North Carolina, spont four yoars as a Student Ambassador. He felt that what made the recruitment efforts of the students special was that by recruiting students, they were helping to extend the Universities family and instill a greater sense of unity and responsiblity in members of the Black community. Cassandra Pritchett, a freshman from Washington. D.C., explained the influence a recruiter had on her in making the choice to come to Howard. “The. recruiter really went out of her way to present both the academic and recreational side of pursuing an education. She helped me to realize that col- lege would be more than studying in the library for hours. She also discussed the family atmosphere at Howard. I came from a small school where there was a lot of togetherness. I was worried about feeling lost at a school with so many students. but she reassured me that the closeness and togetherness I felt while in high school would still be present to make me feel welcome.” Tho recruitmont of promising Black students was. indoed, critical during a time of declining college enrollment and increasing unemployment. Whether it W8s the result of an offort by students or by faculty, recruitment of talented indiviudals proved to be vital to the survival and the future prosperity of this University. The legacy and tradition of the Mecca were more than enough to serve as an indication of an unsurpassed record of oxcellence.

Architecture Blacks were encouraged to Seize Power in the Twentieth Century during the Black Student Unity Conference Power. It was something for which many longed It was, something which some sought: and it was something few realized. “Seizing Power in the 21st Century was the topic of discussion for the thousands of black students who assembled in the Nation's Capital for the second annual National Black Stu-dont Unity Conference. The conferences' goal was to prepare young black students to take their places among the pillars of society and become the movers and shakers. The weekend long conference was full of character building workshops intended to make the path to black empowerment more defined These included Male Female relationship seminars. Religion's Role in Liberation. as well as Education and Economics workshops. However, the highlight of the workshop was tho delivery of the keynote address on Friday night by Muslim leader, Minister Louis Farrakan. Tho address set Cramton Auditorium afire as Minister Farrakan captivated the audience with his unique insight. charismatic personality. and the very powerfully worded message. For the first time, many students came to understand the views and beliefs of a man whose comments have invoked such strong public opinion. According to Farrakan. for the first time, it became clear that in a decade in which those in power were making weak political decisions: a decade of heightened conflict and fighting among nations; a decade glamourizing tho resurgence of racism: the burden was on students, as potential leaders, to make a positive difference for their younger counterparts. With great emphasis he remarked. “Seizing power is not just a temporary thing. It is part of a process that never ends until the goal of the revolution is realized. Thus, in charging students to seek power, and subsequently seize power, he urged them not to bocomo mislead and romanticized in revolution. He proposed that we closely examine the need lo seize power in the 21st century as well as what will bo done with this power once it is obtained. and exactly who will have this power. To successfully seize power, he said, one must first understand the responsibilities that accompany power and how to manage those responsibilities in a way that will further the advancement of the black community. Unlike the fierce, fiery speeches he is so often characterized as giving. Minister Farrakan delivered a speech to tho students that was very subtle in its call for protest and militarism. He spoke of peace and of his desire for “a society in which peace may begin to be maintained with one another. He spoke more of the enemy each person faces within himself than of the enemy he has often stated exists in the white community. The challenge for students of the 80's was to get a brand new attitude”, an attitude beyond that of materialism or self-centerism. beyond perpetuating the “I am better than you syndromo. Tho attitude he proposed would allow people to look beyond themselves and instead, to one another, in a effort to seize powor in the coming century By Natasha Benson Layout by Tamara Brown 116 Black Student Unity Conforonne Simmons Janice Scott.

Eng Undergrauatc Seniors 119 Taylor Because of the miles separating young lovers, they had to settle for the Next Best Thing to Being There! Some would have shaken his hand. Others would have greeted him with a hug. Still others would have sobbed with gratitude upon meeting him. These would have been the reactions of many students engaged in longdistance relationships if given the opportunity to meet Alexander Craham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. Understandably, those studonts found it necessary to “Reach Out and Touch Someone quite often, because, after all. It was the next best thing to being there. While many students did not think that long distance relationships were practical, thcro were many who when in pursuit of the opposite sex were met with the comment. “I’m sorry; I have a boy girl-friend back home. The strength to overcome tho distance between these lovers varied according to several factors. Often those who had dated longer before the separation were more likely to perservere against the difficulties encountered. Depth of commitment, faith in ones partner and characteristics such as loyalty, determination and sometimes endurance aided in getting through such separations. Most students complained about the phone bills associated with longdistance love. Senior Accounting major Carla Dillard’s boyfriend recently graduated and moved to Chicago. She mentioned. “The telephone bills are outrageous! We'd better let our fingers do the walking on stationary instead of the telephone dial.” There were even those who felt the need to talk every day. Are your eyes still brown Stanley? Yeah. Lora, are you still five feet, four Inches. Another problen constantly mentioned by students was the temptation to be unfaithful. When there were so many attractive people un campus, it was sometimes difficult to remember ol’ Joe back home. Said junior. Microbiology major Freya Cooper. who was separated from her boyfriend in Texas after they had date for only three months. Sometimes you really want to go out with other people but then you think of all the reasons you shouldn't and. instantly, you take off your heels, roll up your hair, and pick up the phone There were however. those who would go out anyway; but few would admit to that! Many comploined that long distance relationships, mure than others, interfered with thoir school work. Daryl Cooper, a senior, accounting major admitted. “I often worried about what my girlfriend in lx s Angeles was doing and constantly called homo to chock on her when I should have been studying. It really worked on my concentration. not to mention my pocketbook. However, other studonts suggested that they trusted their long distance mates completely and were not hampered by nagging doubts about their mato's fidelity. Some of these long distance relationships ended in marriage. However, for many, the pressures and demands wore simply too great. Dawn Allwood, a senior COB1S major, revealed. “My boyfriend was in the service, and if you think having a man in another state is difficult, try another country. The problems of distance eventually contributed to the dissolution of that relationship. Nevertheless, she went on to find another love, this time in the local area. Perhaps love that was closer to the home was indeed closer to the heart. by Andrea White Layout by Tracy Matthews Alicia Taylor. B east lourn.

One could understand those as the motivation for black students to attend this university, but what of white students? Of the approximately 12.000 students hero. 1.63% or 197 wore white. Of that number. 141 were in graduate or professional programs whilo 56 wore in pursuit of undergraduate degrees. Chris Donohue, a white student from Long Island. Now York was in his second year of the six year B.S. M D. program. It was this program which first sparked his interest in this university; but Donohue was still a bit hesitant. That hesitation. however, disappeared upon a visit to the campus, at which time Donohue reported that he was “favorably impressed. Said Donohue of his decision to come here. Howard gave me an opportunity and I wasn't going to turn it down because this is a black university. He continued. “You get out of an education what you put into it. so I could go to Harvard and not get os much as I’m getting here. The experiences of students in graduate or professional school varied somewhat from thoir undergraduate counterparts as their classmates usually did not vary from class to class and because they lived off campus. Beth Medina a first year dental student from Rhode Island came to this university for various reasons. The dental school came highly recommended by friends of hors who were graduates. Said Medina. “I wasn't at all concerned about the quality of education that I would receive. The courses here are just as challenging as anywhere else. People have said that because Howard is government funded, they have to allow more people in or make the program easier. But that's simply not true! Medina found her experiences here to be very pleasant. She said. Among my classmates I feel very comfortable. race is not an issue. But among upperclassmen. I do feel a bit self conscious because they don't know me and all they see is a white person. Their goals, dreams and reasons for attending this in stitutton were not. after all. so very different from black students. They too aspired for a quality education, a friendly atmosphero and of course, reasonable fees. Happily. they were able to find all this and perhaps more. David Benjamin, a jazz Studies student from Washington. D.C. lakes notes of the Marching Band's performance during practice. Burrow Rosoareh classes took tho scope of knowledge Far Beyond the Textbook Students were allowed to use their creativity while getting practical experience through the University's research classes. Each person was allowed to work on something he enjoyed while discovering different approaches to a problem and then drawing new conclusions. Students in both Liberal Arts Honors Classes and the College of Pharmacy were given the opportunity to enroll in special research classes. For those who possessed extraordinary intellectual capabilities, the University established a specialized curriculum to koep these students challenged. The Honors Program was started in 1957 as a course of Study for the ablest incoming freshmen. Tho program was more demanding and challenging than the regular curriculum. Not only were participants required to take research classes but they had to write a senior thesis at the program's end as well. The research classes for the Honors students allowed them to get hands on experience in various areas of study and be exposed to a variety of new material. Said Dr. Theodore Bremmer, the program's director. “Students have to be acquainted with the larger sphere because you never know what you’ll be called to do in a few years. Tho College of Pharmacy's research class was a three credit elective. Students were allowed to dovise thoir own research projects and were guided by the Pharmacy School's faculty. All of the research was to be done independently. Many students chose to follow up their first semester of research, during which drugs were usually synthesized, by testing the drugs on animals during the second tern ester. Some even used tabs at the National In-stitues of Health. According to Dr. Scott. ‘Nine abstracts and three articles have been published as a result of student research. By allowing students to convert theory into practice, special research classes provided an important link in the learning process. By Andrea White Cathy Burrow. Speech Path Janet Burton.

Retailing students learned the importance of The Bottom Line The School of Business intensely trained its students to take their places in corporate America. Its faculty also omphasized the importance of entrepreneurship as well. Students were encouraged to evaluate risks and were given various simulations designed to loach the dynamics of small business management. Yet. Dr. Betty Watson of the Marketing Department and her Retailing class took the learning process one step further. Their efforts culminated in the opening of the Business Break Store in mid-November in the basement of the School of Business. The Retailing Class was entirely responsible for the store's organization. Each class member was assigned to either the finance, operations, marketing, or personnel divisions in the initial planning. Capital for the business venture was raised through the selling of stock and the issuing of bonds. However, only classs members were allowed to purchase the security as well as to be employed by the business. The students first conducted surveys to see what products other students would bo most interested in purchasing. Afterwards, research was done to determine where merchandise (that was most cost efficient) could be purchased. After acquiring use of the basement space and setting up shop, the retailing class was ready to start busi- ness. The Business Break Store was divided into three smaller entities. One of the most popular was the “Snack Exchange' which specialized in lunch food and snacks. Each day a new entree was featured. ranging from lasagna to curied chicken. However, the biggest lunch time seller was the “ole American hot dog. The Cotton Club was the outfitter for the Business Break, selling sweaters and sweatshirts that proved to be very popular among students. On Mondays. Wednesdays, and Friday's, one could also purchase homemade baked goods which were, as the divisions name implied, “fust Like Mom’s. Students who patronizod the store had positive comments. Said junior LaTunjl Freeman. “It was very convenient to have a store right in the school.! thought it was an excellent idea, and one the class should continue.

Excitement filled the air during the first semester because the campus was flooded by a Celebrity Wave. Wynton Marsalis. Grammy Award-winning trumpeter was the first to visit the campus. On November fifth he performed at the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel to kick off the Department of Music's artist-in-residence series. Mr. Marsalis played with the Howard University Jazz Ensemble in observance of American Music Week proclaimed by the American Music Center in New York. Many of the Jazz Ensembles members were thrilled to have Mr. Marsalis as their feature trumpeter. On November sixth, the So-doty for the Advancement of Management was proud to welcome Mr. Spike Lee to tho School of Business and Public Administration. Mr. Lee. famous for the movie She's Col lo Have It which he wrote, produced. directed and starred in was invited to address the business students while in town to see his alma mater. Morehouse College, play in the Homecoming Came. The filmmaker discussed his upcoming film. School Daze which portrayed student life at a fictitious black college. In addition. Mr. Lee hosted a School Daze party after the Homecoming game which attracted many students and visitors. Dr. William Cosby made an appearance on November seventh at the Homecoming game. He saluted Miss Howard University. Jennifer Thomas. at half time before declaring that he was moving from the home side of the field to the Morehouse side in an attempt to share a little of his luck with the losing Morehouse College. As Cosbv made his half time appearance on the field, many sjiectalurs left the stands and ran on to the fridiron to get a closer look As e climbed the bleachers on the Morehouse side. Dr. Cosby shook hands with many of his admiring fans as dozens of cameras flashed. Phylicia Rashad of 'The Cosbv Show appeared on campus on November twentieth. She and her daughter were first spotted in the Punch Out restaurant located in the Blackburn Center. Warmly, she spoke to the students as they approached the superstar who was escorted only briefly by security guards. Sirs.

In attempting to reach its goal of producing quality graduates, the University has garnered lop notch educators. With faculty who. themselves, arc encouraged to pursue research activities and are honored by their peers for their accomplishments. the University has attracted a host of teachers that instill in their students the need to learn.

U9 Satellite Health Centers - Voffered quality health care at alternate locals When one thought of the health care services offered by the University, visions of the University's Hospital or the Student Health Center came to mind. It was a little known fact, however, that as a part of its community outreach efforts, the University had established three satellite health conters which provided various services to area residents. The first of those centers was the Rhode island Family Health Center. Openod in the early seventies, the center was currently locatod on noar-by Rhode Island Avenue This center was established to provide training for residents at the University's Hospital. and there were currently 26 residents being trained there. Besides its function as a training facility, the center served other purposes. Its location in the inner city offered medical sorvicos to an undeserved segment of the population. To these Cple. the center offered compre-sive health care over an extended period of time. Audiomotry. cnoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, spirometry and opth-amology services were available, on site, to the entire family. Patients were encouraged to come to tho center with their familios so disease patterns could be detected, anticipated, treated or prevented. Some 13,000 visits were received at tho center annually. Said Brenda Loath, the center's director. “Since this facility's scope is family medicine. which is more general than other specialties, total care is given to the pationt. Undor tho caro of tho resident. in consultation with the attending physician. patients receive primary health care. If. patients are in need of more specialized treatment, referrals aro of course given. Another health center also provided services In the area of family medicine. The Prince George's Family Medicine Group in Prince George's Plaza. Hyattsville opened In August 1984. Since then its patient base has expandod to serve approximately 5,600 clients, due mainly to patient referrals. In this modern, attractive facility, one could obtain the services of Board Certified family medicine pract inners experienced in obstetrics, gynecology. internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, psychiatry and emergency care. The center offered travel immunizations. flu immunizations, special rate youth physicals for summer camps or school, as well as pre-employment screenings. These screenings focussed on diagnostic tests relating to different work environments. For example, suggested exams for workers in heavy labor, included a comploto physical plus hearing or lung capacity tests. On the other hand workers in the restaurant or health field could be tested for communicable diseases. The center's goal was to care for not just the single employee, but groups of employees, giving diagnostic treatment for work related injuries or problems Besides the in-offico family prac-tioners, there was a podiatrist and opthamologist on staff. Other consulting physicians were at the center on a scheduled basis, so reforrals to them were convenient for the patient. In its continued effort to serve the community. the center offered childbirth classes for interested participants, and published quarterly newsletters which were sent to patients with home health Ups. advice on good health pracUces and other current health issues. Tho third and newest center, the HUMED Diagnostic Center, opened last August at tho intersection of Georgia Avenuo and Piney Branch Road. This contor difforod from tho other two in that it provided neither residency training, nor services in only one specialty, family medicine. Instead, this center cut across a wide area of specialties. There wero services in cardiology, internal medicine. endocrinology, otolaryngology (ENT), plastic surgery, infectious diseases. general surgery and infertility. There was usually one internist in the center on duty from 8:30-8:00. and the other specialists were scheduled to be in the center at regular times for their regular patients or for in-house referrals. The doctors at HUMED were on faculty at the University, and the cen- Dr. Claranco Friend of the Rhodo Island Family Health Center takes the blood pressure of his patient lames Johnson as part of a routine examination ter provided an alternate, but convenient treatment site for their patients. Although the center was relatively new, it was constanUy expanding. A travel medicine program was recently established to provide medical care and health information for travelers. Immunization, pre and post travel screening, counseling and medication to help prevent or ameliorate illnesses while overseas, and worldwide referrals to English speaking physicians abroad, wore o part of the sorvice. Also a part of the conters plan for expansion was the Sports Medicine Center, which opened in April. The center offered cardiac rehabilitation either for recuperation or prevention of heart ailments, physical therapy for sprains, broken bones etc., and a fitness center for those who wished to maintain good health, or lose woight. With the latest in exercise machinery' as well as a sauna, whirlpool and two steam rooms, the center offered thorapeutic services in a modern, pleasing setting. According to Dr. loan Wilbourg-Bourne. Medical Director of the center. “The center emphasized caring courteous doctors who stressed, quality. courtesy and mast importantly, timely service. She added. “The center's location allows us to tap patient resources that ore away from the University. Eunice Davis, the center's administrator, stated. The center should serve as a model of quality to channel patients to the University's Hospital. Besides their offerings to tho community. the centers, also served to expand the patient baso of the Hospital. Patients seen in the centers were sent to the University's Hospital If the need arose. This provided a larger range of patients which would enhance the patient mixture and increase the numbers and types of diseases seen in the hospital. An increase in patients would assure proper education for medical students and residents, thus reinforcing the quality of the Medical school's and hospitals' educational programs 24rt Satellite Health Centers Dr. Wilson of the Prince George' Family Medicine Croup. goes over hi patient1 record before meeting with the patient Harriette Barnette.

The effects of staying up all night fur a Physics test are realized in Organic Chemistry Lecture, as EricChennault dozes off to catch up on a missed nights sleep. 142 All Nighters After a long night of study came The Dreaded Sunrise The tost is a full week away... Ah. how nice il is (o have lime to prepare. The test is four days away .. How nice il is to have lime to prepare. The test is two days away ...

I still have formulas, pathways and concepts to memorize. There isn't enough time! Unless.. .Islay up all night! Where is that No Doz? Panic and nausea set in. Many of us can recognize these feelings as they set in prior to one's decision to stay up all night. Driven, we aro. by a gnawing fear of going into the tost unprepared That desperate need to grasp just one more morsel of knowledge keeps one's eyelids open and deep slumber from setting in. Images of your beating yourself over the head for not studying enough on the last exam sends you scrambling fur the closest source of caffeine. For many, the need to study all night was due to a familiar enomy-procrastination. Said. Losa Walkor. a junior Political Science student. I sometimes put things off thinking Late night hours find engineering student Matilda Ivy up studying for a Differential Equations exam. that I'll hove more time later. Added Carolyn Stennet. a senior Chemistry student. “Unfortunately. I fool myself into believing that I can study for the tost in the small amount of lime that's loft over after I’vo done everything else, but study. Of course that’s not so. and 1 have to stay up longer than I should Other students claimed that even if procrastination was not the problem, the heavy work load and exams in several classes at the same lime led to desperate measures Torrence Word, a first yeardental student said, All our (dental students') exams are held over a two to throe day period, so I may have seven exams in three days during Mid-Terms. Somotimes staying up all night is the only alternative i have to master all the material for all those exams. Staying up all night may have given one the opportunity to absorb, if not master the necessary material, but it did take its toll Red eyes, yawning mouths and minds too tired to generate the correct answers were often the price. Said Alan Ryan, a 2nd year Pharmacy student. Staying up late is definitely not for me.

He added. All nightors are simply not advisable. I Ye learned to pace myself to avoid that situation in contrast to Ryan, there were those who swore by ‘night before all-night method' adrenalin and desperation. to them was an ally. Claimed Lynn White, a senior finance ma|or “Having one’s back against the wall just sccins to be the catalyst one neods to got to work. Sho added. Nevertheless this isn't really the best method of studying. For many the desperation that led to serious studying set in far too late Il often arrived the night before the dreaded exam: when two weeks prior to that would have been perfect timing. All nighters left many casualties in its wake. There were those too tired to make it through the day; and those who wished to beat themselves, since all night had not been enough, and an “F was definitely on its way. Take heed, an ounco of nightly studying was far better than a pound of No Doz. All Nighters 143 Cries for more advanced technology led to research that was Far from Immaterial Society has an obsession with things being bigger, faster and better. Last years slate of the art computers are now too slow. This years copying machines will simply not be good enough next year, when the lines in the library grow longor. and impatient fingers jingle coins in anticipation of the opportunity to make copies. The occasions arc numerous, when cries for a •'hotter'’ or “faster way are heard, and in answer to these crios, engineers at this University are striving to produce devices that meet society's needs. The all important calculator, the ever popular VCR. the increasingly common compact dies player, the seemingly necessary microwave and the now commonplace computer, all contain micro electronic dovices which are vital to their operation. Under the direction of Doctors Michael Spencer, Keith Jackson and Gary Harris of the School of Engineering, research is being done to create better electronic devices with far reaching effects not just for the consumer, but in the areas of defense, telecommunications and industry. Last October, the National Science Foundation awarded the university five million dollars over five years, for the establishment of a Minority Rosearch Contor of Excellence. Tho university has created, under the leadership of Drs. Spencer. Harris and Jackson, the Materials Science Center of Excellence. The Center’s goal is to develop improved, high powered electronic devices using semiconductor compounds. Semiconductors are materials which have properties that lie between a metal and an insulator. By adding to this material, the semi conductors can be made to look and act like conductors (Metals) at times, and like insulators at other times. Much of the research involves two different types of semiconductor materials: gallium arsenide and silicon 144 Material Science Rosearch carbide. These materials demonstrate the ability to handle faster speeds, operate at higher frequencies, emit light for use in laser technology-. These qualities have become increasingly important in making advanced electronic devices. The motcriols. in the form of a crystal, aro “grown in a machine (a molecular beam epitaxy machine. to be specific) which adds layers of atoms to the crystal. These crystals. after thoy are grown, are characterized as to their electrical, chemical and physical activity, composition and purity. Impure materials cannot be used. After characterization. comes fabrication of the actual electronic device. Through a complex process called photolithography, electronic patterns are etched onto the surface of the crystals, forming a series of devices. It is those dovices which can be used as high electron mobility transistors for supercomputers. solar cells that transform sunlight to olcctrical energy, as components in radars used for defense and in various other products. The products of the Material Science Center will, according to Dr. James Cheek, “allow it to serve as a national resource for the development of electronic materials to be used in the fabrication of high power electronics. It is also expected that the Center will servo to increase the number of research scientists and engineers, and attract post doctoral students as well as outstanding faculty at the university. Said Dr. Spencer, director of the center. The center is dedicated to doing good science first. That in itself will serve to attract more faculty, scientist and post graduate students. The Material Science I.ab will therefore serve to expand the research capabilities of one of the most productive minority institutions, as well as to reaffirm this University’s commitment to excellence.

Material Science Research - .43 Rigorous training at the pharmacy school made Pharmacists Can I toko Robitussin and Tylenol a tho same time? Which cold medicine would you recommend I take? The students of the pharmacy school strived for the knowledge to answer such questions. The path to becoming a pharmacist was a short but difficult, often misunderstood, one Under the direct ton of Dean Wendell T. Hill, the pharmacy school offered graduate degrees as woll as a bachelor's degree program. In the latter program, one could receive a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy with two years of pre-pharmacy work, and three years in iho professional phase, (pharmacy school) The term professional was actually a misnomer, as the University did not consider the pharmacy school a professional school. The faculty and administration of the pharmacy school, on the other hand, felt that the rigorous work re- n‘ ed at the school certainly quali-it as a professional program. Once a student was accepted to pharmacy school, there was a briof orientation. The students were inclined to bocomc acquainted as they would be together in over 90% of their daises for the next three yeans As in medical, dental, and law schools, students had very little choice in what classes they could take All classes, and the order in which they could be taken were already predetermined by the college; and students could only select three electives on their own during the entire three years. All classes taken during the program were prerequisites for classes the following semester. Therefore, failure of any course, automatically rendored a student a year behind, as these classes were only offered once per year This placed additional pressure on the students to successfully complete their courses For those students who maintained a 3.0 or better for the first two professional years, there was the option to bypass graduation and ontor tho two year doctor of pharmacy program This allowed students to obtain a doctorate degree in six years. The school also offered a Doctor of Philosophy degieu and a Phd in Pharmaceutical Science As the starting salaries of pharmacists averaged S32.000 per year, the school offered students the opportunity to gain substantial earning power in an shortor time than many othor professional programs. Less school time; however, did not mean less work, as these students endured a similarly rigorous curriculum. for the Future H6 Pharmacy School In tho Pharmaceutical dispensing class, students are taught how to prepare drugs that aren't ready-made by drug manufacturer Emmanuel Eke weighs out ban-zoic add an ingredient to Whitfield ointment.

Pastor of the 12.000 member Concord Baptist Church in New York, and a scholar in his own right, who taught at both the Harvard and Colgate Divlnty schools, addressed the audience about the experiences of Blacks with the Constitution.

Dr. Philip Godeg-beku completes what ha now become a routtno procedure as he takes a sample of blood from a patient at the University's hospital Interns suffered long hours with little reward as they were |fraining to be Healers ntering the health profession E required excessive discipline and intensive training. For those who planned lobe medical doctors, even more exhausting preparation was necessary. After completion of four years of medical schools, aspiring doctors had to intern in order to acquire the practical knowledge necessary for the handling of human lives. However, finding an internship was much easier said than done. The University Hospital required that all eligible medical students apply for an internship in the area in which they are specializing However. because of the limited number of positions available for interns, thoro was a taxing process of selection which differed according to the area of speciality. Grades and National Board Score were examined and interviews were conducted by the Chairman of the Department and the attending physician in the area to which the student was applying. Many times, only a handful of positions. were available and sought by a great deal of applicants. After being chosen, the intern handled patient ; reporting daily to an attending physician In addition, interns were required to attend conferences threetiinesa weekin which the latest trend in modicino were discussed t hey were sometimes required to present case studies and be questioned about the subject matter presented. Depending on tho area of speciality, monthly examinations were given to assess performance and to indicate areas of weakness. The length of the internship varied from three years for Emergency Medicine to five years for Surgery. According to Dr. Philipe Gadeg-bfiku, the hours were very long 'That seems to be what most interns complain about. There are some fourteen hour days! In addition, the pay for interns was not exceptionally high at the University Hospital. Said Dr. Ga-degbeku. The first year intern makes about S23.UOO a year which averages out to about two to three dollars en hour. Interns wore evaluated yearly to insure that ihoy would be sufficiently prepared to handle an emergency. If. upon completion of the allotod time an intern was for some reason doomed unqualified in practice medicine on his own. he was forced to remain under the tulelegeof tho attending physician until he had mastered tho nocessary skills. Patients were usually quite willing to be treated by interns according to Dr. Gadcgbeku. The problem arises when they arc exomined by medical students. he added. Though the internship period proved to be trying for many aspiring doctors, the results were definitely worth tho effort Much was required to prepare to save lives, but then nothing could have been more rewarding. by Andrea White Layout by S.

People had I been doing it for years, but suddenly it was taking an interesting turn Young men and women were doing it everywhere. They did it in public, out in the grass.

On buses (for a quickie), and even in church (1$ nothing sacred?)! Thoy did it as couples (Ok. so that's typical). Thoy even did it in massive group sessions (an idea for the wild and creative).

When classes were scheduled with long breaks in between, and tests were lined up back to back; these creative locations provided a place in which to use time more productively. Students like Derek Allen, a sophomore from Michigan, were slowly becoming a dying breed. He said, “I | study in the evenings, and I study besl I in the media center of the Undergrad-uate Library.

Sometimes I study in my bathroom so the light won't disturb my roommates. Other times I have to study in the hallway to get away from the roaches. Adversity often caused students to be resourceful. Sometimes, as Demaria Beales explained, desperate limes called for desperate measures. The junior Humnn Development major said. “There w'ere a couple of times when 1 carried notes to the Chapel.

In some departments, the number of articles that wore to be published ovor a period of time was specified. There were many reasons why research outside of the classroom was encouraged. Dr. Carolyn Brown.

Assistant Dean in the College of Liberal Arts stated, In such instances when course loads are too heavy, it is the Faculty's responsibility to get togeth- er and make decisions with regard to equitable distribution of courses, and a reasonable working number of students.' He also emphasized. Historically the most outstanding black scholars wore tcachors who hod heavy course loads, but who were able to discipline themselves to make major contributions in the area of research. In the past, the University allowed some leniency with professors who did not meet the requirements However. as it stood, each faculty member was made aware of the publishing mondale as soon as he or she was hired.

During registration you are constantly under pressure for two straight weeks. It is only natural for you to break your composure when the 300th student you deal with that day decides to curse you out The people working in student accounts are usually concerned with student problems and sympathize with thorn, but there may not bo anything we can do to rectify tho situation Many of the changes made in stu- dents accounts were usually mandated by othor University offices. Records must be transferred from the Office of Financial Aid. the Office oi Residence Life and others before changes could be made. Ms. Crabbe also added, studonts fail to realize that the Office of Student Accounts is not always the source of their problems. they need to identify the source before screaming at us. Likewise, employees in the “A building blamed student ignorance for causing many of the problems. According to Ms. Portia Thompson, another Account Analyst.

The employees of the A’ Building complained about student attitudes just as the reverse was true Ms. Thompson suggested. “Many students act in an immature and disrespectful manner, with the idea that it isour Job todo whatever they say. It is very frustrating and tiring. It's not that we have nasty attitudes, it's just that we’re human.

Science Majors Studied diligently as they prepared to face Death Valley The Valley. The mention of it brought thoughts of orientation parties to the minds of the frivolous and carefree It brought pictures of beloved symbols to the minds of some greek organization members. And to science majors it brought a shiver of apprehension, a feeling of dread and emminont doom. The valley housed the College of Pharmacy, the Chemistry Building. Thirkleld Hall (the Physics Building) and Ernerst E. )ust Hall (home of Zoology and Microbiology classes). The reverent among us felt compelled to think scientific thoughts os they simply passed through the hallowed halls of atoms, micro-organisms and relativity theories. Along with tho reverence that surfaced, came trepidation, os many a student could bo seen hovering at tho top of the step to the volley, searching for a friendly person to delay their journey into the valley. Fear kept other students, on the other hand, fleeing to the valley. Any missed information could be detrimental to the already deadly classes of the valley. Studont impressions of tho valley were usually simitar. Said Karen Samuols “I recall my Tuesdays and Thursdays during on entire year in the valley. I would have Physics and immediately followed by Organic Chemistry. I’m now convinced that the mind is not meant for too much science in the morning' Many students noted that the valley was the Garden of Weeding. In largo numbers, students migrated to other schools and colleges after their first tests of zoology or physics. Said lames Collins, a senior psychology major, Aflor struggling through zoology I realized liiero had to be an easior way to got to a modicol school, so I switched to psychology. The valley’s reputation was indeed well known, for sympathetic nods were often offered to students who commented: “All f liavo left to take arc my major classes, in the valloy.” Survival there ofton meant courage and perseverance and fearing no evil ns one walked through tho valley of the shadow of doath i’lM Th Valley Earl EUemio.

Dr. Carl Anderson, Vice President of Student Affairs, Raymond Archer. Director of Student Activities and Nancy Flake. Director of the Small Business Development Center all matriculated here. Leslie Lewis, received her Journalism de-greo in 1979 and later returned to become Associate Director of Student Activities to both the Hilltop and the Bison yearbook. Several graduates have also become instructors at this institution. Gloria Nichols, a 1972 graduate of the School of Pharmacy became the In-structor Coordinator of Continuing Education for both the School of Business and and the School of Dentistry. Her advice to students from the perspective of a former student turned instructor, was ’set your goals and decide how you're going to get there. Goals may change, but a plan of action is something that cannot be changed.” Mr Timothy Okoln. Assistant Professor of Accounting received both his B.B.A. and his M.B.A. from this university. Valedictorian of the 1979 graduating class of the School of Business and Public Administration, he declared that many things had changed since his enrollment as a stu-donl. “Facilities and equipment have hat as a teacher who once was enrolled as an undergraduate student. Fond memories of her days as a student brought Dr Emma W. Thomas back to the University's English Department. I have an overall love for Howard as the institution which prepared me well for so many achievements that I have made. And I credit Howard to a great extent for the opportunities that I have had.” The existence of many of these positive role models resulted in a firm foundation upon which to build and prepare for the future. Through the training of instructors, the university helped to insure its continued existence as a dominant force in the educating of tomorrow's leaders. by Andrea White Dr Olive Tkylor alumni history professor, thanks L’CSA for honoring her during the Salute to Block Women banquet. 170 Alumni Faculty wm Recognized for Outstanding Achievement.faculty Award Recipient! found themselves Among the Brightest ' in the Crown of Jewels In a crown of jewel it was difficult to determine the moat brilliant.

High moral, momentum from the previous 8-3 football season, and a now famous hefty offensive line and an all MEAC running back led the Bison team to their first ever MEAC championship. as they posted a 9-1 record. This triumph was. however. tainted as the National Collegiate Athletic Association failed to invite the team to play in post season competition. Spurned, the University responded with a SIS million dollar law suit against the NCAA.

One team that needed little improvement was Ihe volleyball squad, which won the MEAC title. The Taekwondo team continued its tradition of excellence. ranking second in the nation. For the men's basketball team, tho year was one of mediocrity, and the team did not fulfill its potential to excel There were also high expectations for the women's team, and they fulfilled their potential by winning the MEAC championship title. The efforts of many athletes combined to create a year of triumphs, firsts and growth for some teams. For others, however, looking to the year to follow was their driving force.

University President lames Cheek declared all out warfare against the NCAA. Sports Illustrated. CBS Sports and ABC's World News Tonight all ran stories on the issue. And although the University was denied a temporary restraining order from the U.S. District Court, which would have prohibited the first rounds of postseason play from beginning without somehow including the Bison. The Bison were ranked second among the nation's historically black colleges and third amongall of the I-AA schools as ranked by a New York Times post-season poll. Despite broken hearts and dimmed spirits, team members still looked back on the record-breaking season with a glow of hope. “I think the highlights of our season was winning the conference championship and our national NCAA 1-AA ranking. said Coach Jeffries. He attributed the team’s success to the mere fact that we had almost 25 or 20 seniors on the squad with enough experience to play a large role in both leadership and performance.” In past years the team would lose about 80 percent of its experienced players to either graduation or aca-demic ineligibility, both areas which have been greatly improved upon since Jeffries' arrival In 1984. 180 Football Back up quarterback.

The team's only loss came at the hands of a building football program from Towson State, which held the Bison's rushing yards to one of the season's lowest.

He didn't need a lot of instruction when he was in the game and he knew how to feel out the other team to see what would work for us. The large number of injuries the Bison suffered only served to hinder the Bison. Howard Spencer was out for some time during mid-season, and his absence was felt.

Sophomore Brian Parker, and graduates Doug Lewis and Darryl Henderson were al! amply rewarded for their commitment during the Pan-American Carnes and the Olympic Festival over the summer. The gold and silver medals captured by the trio were the results of long hours of practice, a great deal of self-discipline, and a large amount of self-confidence. As Darryl Henderson. U.S. Olympic Festival Gold medalist explained. To be effective you have to clear your mind of any outside influence. Brian Parkor. the recipient of a silver medal in the same games cited concentration as an important element in competition. Doug Lewis, gold medalist at the Pan-American games, listed “control” as on integral port of a good performance. Behind most good teams stood good coaches and Coach Dong Yang was no exception. As Carl E. Anderson. Vice-President ior Student Affairs explained. He (Yang) came to the University twenty years ago with a crew cut. broad shoulders and a strong body. Since then. Coach Yang has helped to build a team that has produced more medalists than any other institution in the United States. In addition. Anderson and Yang together have played crucial roles in the establishment of Tae Kwon Do as an Olympic sport in the 1988 Olympics. Coach Yang served as a role model for his team members as well as a provider of guidance and support. One did not need to compete in order to en- joy the sport of Tae Kwon Do. it was offered as a physical oducation class in which the kicks and blocks of the Korean martial art were taught. Upon completion of the class, students were allowed to test for a yellow belt in the sport. Tac Kwon Do continued to gain popularity on campus and proved to be a sport which taught discipline, encouraged good sportsmanship. and demanded endurance. It allowed students yet another channel through which to demonstrate their athletic talents and to compete nationally It was also a sport which help to build another important quality, character, by Claire Louis Layout by I.oisha Solomon Dr. Yang, the coach of the nation's leading tac kwon do team, escorts a fan of the team at the award ceremonies.

Perry, who was selected the Most Valuable Player in the MEAC tournament, has been selected All-MEAC throughout her tenure with the team, and served as an ideal role model, according to Smith. “If Pierce continues to be as hot of a set-ter as she was this past season, then she is sure to follow in Perry's footsteps .’ he said.

It's half-time! Half-time was used for many different activities during the football season. However, it was synonymous with the Bison Marching Band among most students. For Rob Turner, a Marketing major from New Orleans. Louisiana. The H I) Marching band is the first to come to mind when thinking of what I enjoy most about halftime. They are exciting, exhilarating high stepping, and flashy. Mr. john New son. Associate Band Director, said When the buzzer sounds indicating halftime, foremost in my mind is the hope that (he band will perform well and that the audience will be pleased with their performance. Though the performance of the visiting band was often enjoyed, the fans were always excited to see the smooth moves of the Btson Blue1 Another source of excitement during halftime was the performance of the cheer- leaders as they grooted the opposing team.

I spent the whole first half trying to find a way to sweep this woman off her feet Only to find, as she put it. that her feot were ‘Very well spoken for. thank you!’ For Anthony Jones, a Business Management major from Cleveland. Ohio, halftime meant a break from the game's tension The coaches and players viewed halftime as their chance to get it together It was the coaches' chance to change the direction of the game if the team was losing and to ensure that the team continued in the same direction if they were winning. The players were also givon a chance to rest after a long thirty minutes of play.

I know you're hungry, but there isn't a concession stand for miles The concession workers are all on strike. By the way. we have to keep score ourselves (the statistician quit), we have to officiato tho game ourselves (the referee is on vacation), and occasionally, the team players will come up here in the stands to ask for your advice (we couldn't afford a coach this year). But anyway, Let the games begin! While it was highly unlikely that anyone would have been confronted with the proceeding scenario, it was not uncommon for those elements contributing to the suc- cessful completion oi a game to be taken for granted. These important elements included fans, coaches, referees and athletic trainers; everyone who worked “behind the scenes to produce the lively playing atmosphere expected at most sports events. Observing a game like football or basketball through the eyes of those often forgotten in tho clamor for 'player glorification' aided in the understanding of how players were able to consistently perforin above expectations. Coaches often took a back-seat to players, opting instead, for a lower profile. William. Moultrie performed in a double capacity. As both the head track coach and Director of Athletics, his concept of the duties of a coach were especially interesting He stated one of the top priorities in my role as head track coach was to develop leadership in young men and women. The responsibility of coaches was of obvious significance, however, the contributions of the athletic trainers wero also important and could not be overlooked. The expertise of the training assistants was often critical to tho safety of tho players. Bernard lames. Head Athletic Trainer for the Football. Track, and Men’s Basketball teams defined the role of athletic trainers as that of caring for the athletes injuries and their health needs. The role of calling plays is an understatement of the duties of a referee. Larry Hill, a lo-cal referee, stated. Obviously people can’t play sporting events without an official. so the importance of someone to officiate becomes immediately Fans show their excitement as they realize it is first and goal for the Bison football loam in their game against South Carolina State. The soundman from Black Knleriainment Television holds the microphone that brings the sounds of dashing football helmets to ones homes evident Many people get into officiating as a result of a former playing career. Working in an area that they enjoy, but can no longer participate in serves as their motivation and mine.” Not to be forgotten was the role of the fan. Lloyd Martin, a Microbiology major from Virginia defined the role of fans as giving important moral support to the players. Judy Cain, an Accounting major from Minneapolis felt that fansadd to the energy of the game. They help create the atmosphere you expect when you come to a game. Fortunately, no danger of the empty stadium existed with such a dedicated staff working bohind tho scenes!

Willman completed two sixty-five yard touchdown passes to give the Hogs the victory over the Dallas Herdsman. fourteen to zero. Yes. it was indeed Doug Willman who saved the day.” added Ramod. As evident by this illustration. the second string player was an important part of any sports team. Having people who were literally capable of taking the ball and running with it was vital to any team Because there wore times when injuries were encountered and other times when starting players were ill; the second string player could make the difference between a championship team and a mediocre club. At this University, second string players were very vocal about their contributions to the team. The phrase riding the bench was definitely considered an unfair description of their roles according to most of these players. Whereas, it implied that they wore only observing, football player and Psychology major Anthony Scott noted. “Everyone has an important role in the game We can’t all start, but even the man who comes in on the third down to play a certain defensive coverage is important to the team.” Calvert Thomas, a senior from Maryland, who was on the starting line-up. explained. “The second string player is almost as vital to the team as the starter. The difference could be in talent, knowledge of the game, or the ability to learn faster. Often, however, seniority rules. Most freshman rarely get in the gamo! Regardless of who starts, everybody has an important function. It took a special type of dedication to remain on a team when playing time was no guarantee.

Extracurricular activities were unimportant to some, but vital to others. Somo organizations provided an outlet through which students with common interests could simply come together to enjoy each other's company. Others provided the opportunity for students to break away from the stresses of college while fostering knowledge about their particular field. Still others molded responsibility or offered some type of status symbol but required active participation and sometimes provided an additional source of stress for the participants in return. A new sense of responsibility emerged as students strived to assist members of the university and surround-ing community. Several greek organizations mot tho challenge of public service as Delta Sigma Theta Sorority established a tutorial program at a neighborhood shelter. and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity members, in an attempt to an address the issue of homelessness, slept out on the university's campus Other organizations aspired to educate as the Health Professions Club sponsored First Aid and CPR classes for its members The Student National Pharma- ceutical Association aided in the fight against venereal diseases, as it held a V.D.

It became a matter of either calling home and suggesting the use of the Western Union or. in morn desparate situations, socking emergency loans from the Office of Financial Aid. Yet. thoso options offered little solutions to the cash problems for many students. To address this need, the (ean-Bedford HUSA Administration proposed the Self-Help program designed to assist students experiencing money problems. The Self-Help Loan program was designed to make funds available to any undergraduate or graduate student, enrolled either full or part time. At the inception of the program tho maximum amount to be loaned to any one person was three hundred dollars; with that ceiling being increased by one hundred dollars every four years. The program's funding came from each student enrolled at the university who was required to make a five dollar contribution per year Half the money collected from tho increase in student ABRAHAM HARRIS ECONOMIC SOCIETY: Front Row lames Herring, lunious Whitaker Back Row Stacey Brooks.

Williams fees (estimated sixty thousand dollars initially) was to be placed in a pool from which students could borrow interest free, on a first come first serve basis. This money had to be repaid in the same semester. The other half of tho monios was to go into the University's Portfolio. controlled by HUSA. This money was to be invested in interest bearing securities. The return on this investment along with the initial principle were to be used to increase the funds capital base in future years. In order for the proposed plan to have boon considered, HUSA had to acquire five percent of the student body’s signatures on d petition and gain subsequent approval from the General Assombly. Following the approval of this body, approval of two thirds of the student body was needed. Ninety-eight percent voted in its favor. Since tho program involved an increase in fees, acceptance by the Board of Trustees was also necessary. The HUSA guidelines for the Self-Help program suggested that one person be selected each year from the HUSA Ad- ministration to govern the program. Expecting a ten percent rate of delinquency on repayment. the plan proposed that bad loans be handled by the University's collection department. Students defaulting would have transcripts and report cards witheld in addition to the other penalties imposed by this office. Craig Bedford. HUSA Vice President and the Coordinator of the Self-Help program commented. The university's administration is very enthusiastic about the program because students will be helping themselves. Said senior accounting major Jerri Groce of the loan plan, I think it is an excellent program that will truly cater to tho neods of tho students. The Self-Help program was scheduled to begin during the next school year upon approval by tho University's Board of Trustees. Fritz jean. HUSA President commented. This program illustrates that while we seek help from others for many things, sometimes we can truly help ourselves. ACADEMY OK STUDENTS OF PHARMACY: Front Row. Debbie Griener.

Holding blue and white bricks as they sang Don't you want to b-b-be a Bison? , the members of the women’s basketball team pledged their hearts to their sport, to their team, and to B-Phi-B. B-Phi-B. the women’s basketball sorority, had been in existence for five years. Under the direction of its original founder. Coach Sonya Tyler, this organization orientated its new members to the basketball squad, coach, and collegiate rules. B-Phi-B gives our new players a chance to prove themselves to the squad and show us what they are all about. slated Ar-tine Hector a senior from the District of Columbia. The pledging process allowed each player to get to know the other new team members, and to become acquainted with the veterans. It also taught each teammate discipline and time management. It’s important to know how to balance your time, so you won’t get behind in your studies while we're practicing and traveling.'’ said Darlene Beale a senior from Brooklyn. New York. Pledging B-Phi-B was similar to pledging another greek organization. Although many aspects of the process were differ- ent and the pledge period was shorter, many procedures were the same. There were death marches, big sisters, line names, and specials. Before we started pledging 1 was kind of scared because I didn't know what to expect. But I didn't mind being seen on the yard because I like to make people laugh. stated Robin Brewing-ton. a Freshman from Atlanta. Georgia, whose line name was Big Country. This year B-Phi-B had a line of ten members; eight freshmen. one junior, and one senior. The pledge period lasted from October 1st to the 15th. “Every-one has to be a member before they can begin practicing” said Darlene Beale. However, most players had no problem with this requirement. 'l feel my pledging was a worthwhile experience because I am much closer to my teammates; and in order to be good and play well, you have to know each other. stated Robin Brewington. Although B-Phi-B was not an official greek organization on the yard, many of its members felt that the closeness they had developed as a result of pledging was just as significant. The time and the hard work put into pledging paid off in respect earned on the basketball court. By Melanie Martin layout by Simone Gittens ALPHA PHI ALPHA: Front Row: CuriisSmith. Reynold McDermott.

After undergoing a metamorphosis the Marching Bison became a Half-time attraction Onr.n upon a time, less than four years ago. the Marching Bison was affectionately known as the Nifty Fifty who could barely be heard abovo the noise in the Dust Bowl But a noticeable transformation has taken place since then. With the selection of a new director. Mr. Richard Lee. band membership has swelled to over 150 people, new uniforms have been bought, morale improved, and all of this on the backdrop of the newly renovated field. The fall semester proved to be one of the Marching Bison's busiott. Band members were required to altund a two-week band camp at the boginning of August, during which drills, marching style and music were practiced. Football season was underway soon after that, which required the Marching Bison at every game, both home and away. In addition to that, the band displayed its skills in the Georgia Avenue Day Parade. as well as during the halftime activities of several National Football League games. They performed during the Buffalo Bills vs. New York lets game as well as the New England Patriots vs. the New York lots game. They wore invited to perform during half-timo after submitting video tapes of their half-time shows. Becoming a member of the band was considerably easier than joining one of the auxiliary sections, such as the dancers or flag twirlers. Musically inclined students who wished to participate in the band needed only to speak with hand director. Rich-ard Lee. Dancers and flag twirlers however, were required to try out. According to baud president. Cecil Regman. some band members, especially those recruited from high school, were offered scholarships. Other band members received scholarships based on their years in the band and the talent they displayed As the old fairy tale goes, ugly ducklings turn into swans. The Marching Bison certainly did live out that expectation, mela-morphasing from a puny collection of instruments into a robust. competitive organization that forced other bands to take note . by larqueline Bryant and Linda lames layout by Tamara Brown DANCERS AND FLAGS.

The Hilltop and Community News were the Campus Criers Though the Bison Yearbook was the most important, coveted and widely read publication on the yard (I didn't say modest), there were two other publications the University could proudly call its own. The Hilltop and The Community News were weekly newspapers that became an integral part of student life. However, not many students knew that The Community Xeivs and The Hilltop were separate entities with their own distinct personalities. The Hilltop, whose first edition appeared lanuary 22. 1924. was advertisod as “The Nations Largest Black Collegiate Newspaper. Us name was derived from the lyrics of the alma mater. Remember. “Reared against the oastern sky proudly there on hilltop high ? The Hilltop sought to serve as a medium for the expression of student opinion and to form and influence student thought. Since its founding in 1924. The Hilltop published twenty-eight issues per year, with the exception of one year. On March 22. 1983. the paper was shut down because of financial difficulties. In addition. Janice McKnight. thon editor-in-chief of The Hilltop, was warned against publishing what was deemed to be a controversial article. She ignored the warning, which resulted in political un- rest. That year saw the first student protest against the administration for freedom of speech and press in student publications. especially The Hilltop. Though only in circulation since 1982, The Community News gained its own following. Contrary to popular belief, there was no rivalry between The Hilltop and the The Community News. According to The Community News' faculty manager. Professor Mohammed Jahed. the publications were never in the same category. The Community News is a training facility in the School of Communications for its journalism students, while The Hilltop is the campus newspaper. With a circulation of over 30.000, The Community News did not only focus on campus activities, but included print that would hopefully appeal to the entire community with its coverage of the economy, education, health, sports, entertainment and politics. These two publications allowed students to express themselves on various issues and provided a different vantage point through which significant campus and community events could be observed. by Stcphania Davis ASSOCIATION OF FUTURE SOCIAL WORKERS; Front Row: Carmen ■Rimer. ki wanna Y.

The festivities began with a production of the play “Pappy. a story about an old man who helped to run an evil woman from his village so people could live and love freely. Rehearsal for the production lasted two months with all cast members being members of the CSA. The play's director was Wayne York. Following the production, an elaborate reception was held featuring many Caribbean delicacies. These included Curried Chenne (chick peas). Curried Chicken. Pelau (peas and rice), sorrel and many others. Ambassadors and representatives from West Indian embassies were invited to attend. Caribbean students enjoyed the fellowship and the food. Said Freshman Sheri-Ann Austin. “Christmas in the Caribbean offered Wost Indians the chance to unite and reminisce in our Heritage Cast member Phaedra Pierre mentioned. I was glad to have the opportunity to share this limn with newly found and special friends We would like the rest of the University's community to know about our culture.“ Christmas in tho Caribbean proved to be. once again full of excitement. The energy and hard work displayed by all those who helped to make the program a success was evidenced by their huge smiles as the production unfolded.

The theme was derived from the time and hardwork each performer contributed to the recital's success, in addition. according, to Ensemble President. Cynthia Stafford. We felt it would be appropriate to dedicate each dance to a different element or aspect of life.

Moot court competition was such an experience, and offered students practice in appellate advocacy. In this competition students simulated arguments before an appellate court, usually the Supreme Court of the United States Participants argued reasons why a lower court decision should bo affirmed or overturned as opposed to arguing the merits of a case Kligihilily to participate in Moot Court hinged first on Inking a second year student. Students could then become members of the Moot Court Team by either registering for the Moot Court class as an elective, by placing unto the team by ranking in the top three students of each section of the first year legal writing class, or by competing in the Charles Hamilton Houston Competition, a debate competition Participants in the competition were divided into teams of two people. Initially, each team presented a brief . (written argument) for which they received a ranking, and the best brief was selected. There were then four rounds of oral arguments. a team presented both the arguments of the petitioner and those of the respondent. In the preliminary round, teams were judged by third year students The ranking received here determined ones progression onto the quarter final round which was judged by alumni The total number of participants in the competition determined the number uf people that could be present in each round, and therefore, the number of individuals that had to be eliminated in each round. Since each person on a team was individually evaluated and ranked; it was quite possible that teammates could he separated at the end of a round, and new pairs had to be formulated At each level of the competition the Best Oralist and a runner-up were selected from the competitors. Survivors of the quarter fin-uls proceeded to the semifinal round which was judged hv far -ully members. The remaining two loams faced off in the finals; which was judged by faculty as well as actual judges. According to lanet Thompson. Moot Court Team Co- Captain. 'This (Moot Court) has been very valuable. The oral and writing experience is excellent. In simulating appellate advocacy. Moot Court served to link classroom theory and a courtroom environment to give practical experience. OKLTA SIGMATHETA Front Row: S Ramsev. k Rogers, k Thompson. C.

Organizations on campus provided motivation and stimulation for the religiously inclined The Newman Center was an outlet for Catholic Studunts. It held a church sendee on Sundays and acted as an outreach system for the community through the Sojourners Center. Approximately fifteen to twenty students were active participants on a regular basis. Director of the Center. Father Dillard, felt that such an entity is a vital part of Student life. He said. Living the Christian commitment has to become a person's daily objective. It has to be an active commitment — much more than talk. Additionally, a non-denomi- 11.1tionaI prayer service was held weekly in Rankin ( lidpel Front 12 00 — 1 00 p.m. each Friday a different speaker gave a sermon with topics geared toward student problems Regina Kimbrough. Psychology major, believed. “The point of the service is to have a chance to worship and learn about God during the week. It also gives an opportunity to release tension that builds up during the week. Along with the nun-denominational placet service.and the Catholic. Center, other sources of religious inspiration were campus dormilory Bible studies. the Baptist Student Union, and Friday meetings of the Islamic Students in the basement of Rankin Chapel Amidst the hustle and bustle of college life students, who looked to a Supreme-being for guidance and inspiration, found time to revitalize their spirituality.

A young expectant mother had no job and therefore no means of affording pre-natal care or baby supplies. To meet this need. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority.

The Stork's Nest is a facility that serves women from ages 12 21 through provision of lav-ottc itoms. diapers, clothing for the baby and small furniture at no charge. Women would get points for keeping their pre-natal appointments, and could use these points to purchase goods in the store. Additionally, the Alpha Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Inc., held a Baby Shower in the Blackburn Center in an attempt to respond to the extraordinary demand for Stork's Nest items in Washington. D.C. Fortes further ex-5- plained. There is a desperate need for a service such as the Stork's Nest. The Shower, which took place during Mid-October, gave students a chanco to become active participants in the Stork s Nest program by donating items and toys. Students were indeed responsive However, said Zeta Dannatte Montague. Many people did not understand the purpose of the Stork's Nest, so when we had the shower, they responded with money more than anything else. While the members of the sorority were pleased with the shower's success, they still have greater exportations for the future. Montague added. I hope that more people can take a look and help out with the Stork's Nest program. It may be necessary for one of us to he the recipient of such a program one day. Many teen mothers received assistance and support from the members of Zeta Phi Beta.

The University Choir with its melodious tunes and perfect harmony maintained its Tradition of Excellence tor! Dr. Norris expressed pride in his group's performance even though he felt that more time needed to have been spent on practice sessions. The choirs received honors for their performances at plat es like the National Gallery of Art. and for appearing on the television special In Performanc e at the White House with Leontyne Price. Recently, they participated in a commercial recording of Hallelujah Handel, which resulted in the production of an album of choruses from operas and oratorios by Handel. For this recording, the choirs received excellent reviews across the country Again, the choirs vocal ability was displayed when the Chorale performed at the Kennedy Center. William Brawner. the Business Manager for the Office of Choirs and Bands, stated that the Chorale's performance at the Kennedy Center marked the first time that a solo concert was performed there by the University Choir. “It was a lot of hard work.

Strong voices and excellent training were the reasons why the choirs wore allowed to tour the world spreading joy and peace through song. The melodious University Choirs consisted of four groups: the University Chorale, the University Collegium, the University Singers, and the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel Choir. The four groups together boasted a membership of more than one hundred and consisted of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Under the direction of Dr. |.

On October twenty-ninth in the School of Business Auditorium, the Pan Hellenic Council sponsored the Closeup on black greeks Forum. Its purpose was to give the public a chance to find out most of what they wanted to know—but were afraid to ask. Following an introduction which included issues such as Aids. Health, Rape and Infant Mortality that the campus greeks had attempted to address through their community service projects, representatives from each organization were allowed to state their mottos and give background information on their respective fraternities or sororities Afterwards, the audience was allowed to ask questions of the panel representatives The audiences questions covered many controversial subjects among black greeks ranging from hazing to the community service projects conducted by each of the greek letter organizations. Most of the representatives insisted whon the question of why their service projects are not better publicized. (hat the programs are not done for notoriety, but because of a sincere desire to help the community. Said Audrey Westen. Vice President of the Council and a member of Alpha kappa Alpha Sorority. Inc. . “Many of the questions put us (greeks)on the defensive. I was surprised at the number of people that are |ust anti-greek Weston further emphasized the concept of black unity among greeks which has been the Pan Hellenic Council’s primary objective. She commented At the end of September. the Council sponsored a greek Unity Day during which all greek organizations stcp| ed on the yard and gathered around the flagpole to sing the Negro National Anthem. Everyone was inspired by the bond we all shared. The close-up on black greeks Forum gave campus greeks a chance to dispell some of the misconceptions surrounding their respective organizations.

Precisely, it was pageant mania that caused students to set their homework aside in order to sec who would be chosen to represent their schools, dormitories and clubs. Pour schools held pageants to chose their representative to compete for the Miss Howard title The ( ollnge of Liberal Arts' Flamboyance pageant featured six contestants with Wendy Ricketts emerging victorious.

Freshman Andrea Moore head was crowned the new queen. Held at the Luther Place Memorial Church, the Miss Eton Towers Pageant was open to the dormitory's residents regardless of classification. Gena Alexander, a 19 year old Liberal Arts student, i aptured the title Many stale clubs also hold pageants to choose their representatives. The New Yorkers. I..T.D. held one of the largest pageants. Interestingly, both men and women competed for the titles of Mr and Ms. New York. Emerging victorious was Kenneth Lee and Yvette Clarke.

Vet the brothers of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity, Inc tried to stress the importance of Riving this precious gift during its Mono Drive held on November sixteenth in the Blackburn Center Some students expressed a deep fear of giving blood because they did not fully understand exactly how the process worked. According to officials of the Red Cross Mobile Blood Unit, only twenty minutes was necessary for the process. A slight examination must reveal weight of at least 110 pounds, blood pressure not exceeding 180 over 100 and a temperature of no more than 99.6 degrees Each donor was then instructed to relax and lie flat. The blood is actually drawn from a vein in the upper portion of the arm. Senior Milton Hilliard admitted that “donating blood made me feel good about myself I know that one pint of blood is indeed worth a million dollars when an operation becomes necessary The members of Alpha Phi Omega were happy to sponsor this year's blood drive. Said senior member Lazar re Portier. This is just another way in which the Fraternity shows that it intends to work hard to serve the community. The President of the Howard University Student Association and a member of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity. Fritz lean expressed his thoughts about the service project With the District’s seventy percent black population, it is necessary that we think of our own people when we donate blood. It is important that we nr 1 be selfish, and try to give blood whenever we can. All the donated blood was tested for veneral disease, hepatitis and AIDS, in addition to the determination of blood typo. All blood that was determined lobe safe was delivered to area hospitals so that they would be equipped to meet any emergency. by Andrea White Omega provided to give something NEWMAN CATHOLIC STUDENTCENTER: Front Row.

Others suggested it made the world go around. Yet many poople desperately sought, frequently wished and constantly prayed for MONEY. Campus organizations were no exception Members spent hours thinking of ingenious ways to come up with the ‘buck . Several organizations chose to raise funds by appealing to a basic neod. food. The members of the Martin l.uther King )r Forensic Society had a bake sale which satisfied students' appetites between classes, ironically using bread to make the dough instead of vice versa. A lamaican beef patty sale was sponsored by the Carribean Student Association The National Association of Black Accountants sold spaghetti lunches to hungry students in the School of Business Another profitable food fundraiser was the selling at N’achos by the Society for the Advancement of Management. Other organizations used a bit of creativity in deciding upon fundraising activities hoping that originality would result in huge profits. The members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Inc. sold scaro-o-grams for si.00 during Halloween. Similarly, the men of Alpha Phi Alpha. Fraternity. Inc. delivered carnations with messages attached on Valentines Day. The Maryland Club organized o Kiss and Tell which allowed students to guess how many kisses were in a container for a small fee. Additionally, the men of the fraternities had male auctions in order to raise money. Other fund raising proiects included car washes as was sponsored by the New Yorker LTD. raffles, dances, and buttons and T-shirt selling. Organizations used their profits for sendee projects, social events and other projects held through the year. We used our money to finance individual events for the debate team and entry fees for certain competitions. stated Micheal Mathesus of the M.L.K. Forensic Society. When organizations were in need of cash, members would give of their lime and effort to make the fundraising activity successful. Some tried to have innovative projects that would allow the members to have fun while making money. Though many of these projects may-have proved to be more risky than standard fundraisers, resourceful people on this campus always seemed to find a way to make a buck.

Tiffany Lyles Fund Raisers 245 eep-out of students while providing The Several organizations and societies began to focus attention on the plight of the homeless. While many made donations. the men of the Alpha Chapter. Phi Beta Sigma, attempted to truly understand the needs of the homeless. On Thursday. November eighteenth. the members of the fraternity sponsored a sleep-out around the flag pole on the yard. Starting at 9:30 p.m.. the Sigmas and other students were warmly wrapped to brave the elements for one night. The fraternity asked other organizations and individuals to participate by donating blankets, coats, and other accessories to be delivered to the Central Union Mission. People wore also asked to pledge money for each hour spent on the yard, which was to be donated to the Center for Creative Non-Violence. The project was originally started by the members of the fraternity at the University of Maryland at College Park. Motivated by the district government's action of building a fence around the harragut North Metro Kail Station to keep the homeless out. the Alpha Chapter decided to sponsor a similar project as part of Sigma Week Approximately thirty students participated in the sleep out and even some of the city's homeless came on campus to show their appreciation and support for the Sigma's efforts. Harold Moss of the Center for Croativo Non-Violence was also invited to attend and speak on the plight of the homeless in the Nation's capital. A booth was set up to receive all pledges and donations during the night. Many of the sleepout's participants expressed their opinions regarding the significance of the event. Said Phi Beta Sigma President, jarrod Carter. Over three million people must sleep out doors every night We ore here for only a few hours with full stomachs, long underwear, sweaters and hats and can go home anytime we want. The homeless aren’t as fortunate. We may not be able to solve the problem tonight, but hopefully we can make people aware of it and help out. Donald Walker, a sophomore and Political Science major, added. This is an effort on my part to be part of the solution to the problem of the homeless rather than being part of the problem of apathy. According to Sigma. Howard Ringer, a senior Accounting major. “The temperature wasn't that low. but it felt cold. He also spoke of the warm feeling he had when they took the donations to the shelter. “When wo drove up to the shelter, many of the people come outside to meet us and to help us take the things inside of the building. I can not adequately describe how that made me feol. Most definitely, the Sigmas made a statement to the school, the community and the D.C. government when they staged the sleepout. Sigma Jimmy Dunn exclaimed. “This is just our way of saying Hey. there's a problem, now let's work together to find a solution! by Andrea White Layout by Monica lackson 'fit CLUB PH ILLY: Front Row.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority reached out to neighborhood youngsters in an attempt to teach them that education was a serious matter. Members of the sorority participated in tutoring sessions every Monday and Wednesday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Holding true to its claim of being a Public Service Sorority.- the Deltas reached out in order to touch both the hearts and minds of D.C. youth. The program was held in a shelter on 14th and Girard Street which housed many homeless families. Tho organization felt that tutoring the children at home was important According to Dawn Thornton, the Service Project Chairperson. Every year we tutor someone: however, we usually had the children meet us at St. Au-gustines’s Church Now we actually go into their environment which promotes learning more rapidly. One of the project's primary objectives was to establish a lasting relationship between the tutor and the child. In order to establish this bond, each tutor was assigned to a specific child on which she was to focus her attention “We're trying to establish a Big Sister relationship. Thornton added I don't want this to be merely another service project. I want this program to make an impact on the Washington D.C. area. The program consisted of much more than simply tutoring. Special activities were designed to keep the participants interested. For the first hour and a half, tho children wore tutored in areas which posed some difficulty. The last half an hour was reserved for informative sessions about subjects ranging from Black history to dental hygiene I try to feature something special every week to keep them coming back. Thornton said. “We had a Halloween party and then a Career Day. Hopefully, before the year is over, we can have a Drug-Free program. Tutoring at the shelter required an adjustment for the program's volunteers. Initially, many parents were suspicious about the project and kept a watchful eye on the evening's activities. Before long, however, it became a joint effort, with tho parents providing the refreshments. Volunteer tutor Leslie Smith added. “I think the program is going pretty well. I feel that we have helped them (the children) in terms of self-esteem and confidence in themselves “ Darryl Murray, a first grade student who participates in the program, described it as Fun when we play with the games.

Currently under construction was a building adjacent to the hospital to house a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine. This represented only the first stage of a planned expansion project of a towor which will be built to provide space for the delivery of ambulatory primary care.

This will facilitate greater inter-disciplinary efforts. In addition, such a com pi ox will act as a magnet to attract graduate students and faculty. To facilitate planning of degree requirements a computerized degree audit will be given to students every semester The planning for a new life was an integral part of life presently.
