Identity in an Era of Transition The Lion 1968 FOREWORD rih : ? mrl '1 We have been a part of the social upheave! S4M(W ■HHRS necessary and vital to the future of America. The Lincoln University of our experience was also in the midst of environmental transition. During our four years here, we witnessed and became a part of, the old and the new. Each of the changes which affected us was judged on the basis of our early experience at Lincoln, and whether those changes themselves would be beneficial to our insti - tution, and to ourselves in an increasingly involved search for our identity. In our moments of reflection, we will forever cherish our scholarship, leadership, and Rabble; and most of all, our earliest memories of Lincoln; which suddenly became a changing campus in a changing world. This yearbook gives an account of our Lincoln experience; an experience rich in the traditions of old..... Dear Lincoln. . .thy sons will 'ere be true. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword Dedication Administration Faculty Underclassmen Activities Seniors 3 Reflections Donald Vincent Stewart Born: December 2, 1946 Died: February 1, 1966 DEDICATION We, the class of 1968, in reflecting upon what events, situations, crises, and relationships have occurred since our freshman year, have concluded that although we have passed through an era of transition, we have profited most, not by an outstanding academic record, but by a deeper insight into life and a more firm realization of what being human really means. Thus, we dedicate, with the warmest sincerity, our yearbook to the memory of Donald Vincent Stewart, whose passing brought about one of the most profound changes in the minds of many Lincoln students. Don was from the Pen Hills section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was a memorable classmate, a fine friend, and a lovable person. He was very fond of science, nature, and art. He enjoyed reading anything and everything. An individualist and an idealist.Don was a thinker. 4 Richard E. Hill TO THE CLASS OF 1968 The history of Lincoln University is organic. Yet every class and every student generation has its unique qualities, and in every student generation transitions from one level of operation to another, from one point of view to another, from one type of psychology to another, may be noted. It would be difficult, however, to find a period of transition more intense, and at the same time broader, than the past four years at Lincoln University. In many ways the campus of Lincoln University manifested the cross currents of thought and action sweeping across the United States and the world. The black revolt, psychological, political and social, had its counterpart on this cam- pus. And the escalation of the war in Viet Nam contributed a great deal of ferment. The shifting emphasis on the national scene from DE JURE to DE FACTO freedom and equality was reflected on the campus. As some students put it, emphasis on emanci- pation gave way to emphasis on pride and self-respect. All of this was apparent in changing vocabulary and in changing dress and in hair styles. It was apparent each year in the rise of groups with different labels, each stressing racial uniqueness, pride, and historical contributions in one way or another. Student participation was sought and became more active in the past four years than it had in previous college generations. On another level, the past four years marked serious elements of transition in Lincoln's development. Residential coeducation began with fewer than twenty young ladies in 1965; within three years there were over 200 coeds on the campus. A college which had enrolled normally about 300 students reached almost 1,000 in enrollment in the fall of 1967. At the same time, the faculty more than doubled within two years, actually lowering the faculty-student ratio to a point where student contact with faculty members could be greater than ever before. Each year in the past four at least one building was constructed, and the facilities were improved in some way. Many new courses, programs, and several new majors were added to the curriculum, along with the new members of the faculty. Particularly in the humanities, the last four years provided a transition in academic opportunities for Lincoln students. All the de- partments in the humanities were strengthened, and the opening of a Fine Arts and Humanities Center symbolized a new balance to the work at Lincoln University. Sci- ences. social sciences, and humanities reached levels in opportunities and in quality hitherto unavailable to the students at the University. With all these developments and changes, we hope that you have achieved at Lin- coln a base of knowledge and understanding on which to build. We trust you have learned that cynicism and despair are no match for faith and hope. We hope, also, that you operate on the assumption that horizons are unlimited, that life is very much worth living, and that the pursuit of freedom and equality is a never-ending pursuit in which all of us must be committed to participate as fully as we can and in whatever vocation and way of life we happen to function. Faithfully yours, Marvin Wachman President 6 I President Wachman 7 TO THE CLASS OF 1968 -- In other days when one spoke of power blocs, he was referring to the alliances among nations. Today, we hear of Black Power, White Power, Green Power and Stu- dent Power, among others. In the passionate scramble to become aligned with some of these power blocs, men in our universities must not forget the power of the human in- tellect. Man's hope for a better, a more humanitarian existence depends upon the ex- tent to which the human intellect can control and direct his passions. Where reason and emotion are compatible the individual makes a better life for himself and for the so- ciety of which he is a part. James Bonner MacRae Dean of Students (retired) 8 H TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS: Lincoln University has grown in many ways since you have been here. It is our hope that you too have grown and have been motivated to learn. Yes, learn that some information remains only a short time but ideals and spiritual values will continue to beckon you beyond your present goals. As you leave Alma Mater seek wisdom - remembering that Alma Mater grows in ser- vice to others as you participate and contribute to society in constructive ways. Leroy D. Johnson Dean of College DONALD K. CHEEK, LE ANN A NELSON, Secretary TO THE CLASS OF TRANSITION - The Class of '68 Advice givers arc legion - there will always be someone to advise and criticise. But a man must carry within himself the ultimate criteria of his behavior - and if he has satisfied himself as to his integrity, then hope- fully he can recognize that this in itself is an accom- plishment. Many in the class of '68 have begun to attain this goal. My wish is that it will be achieved by all. 9 Donald K. Cheek Vice-President for Student Affairs DAVID BERNARD KENT, JR. A. B.

THE LION STAFF 1968 I I 'Hie LION Staff owes its gratitude to everyone in the Lincoln University community who showed a working interest in the yearbook. The staff would like to acknowledge especially those people who unselfishly gave of their own much needed time, mate- rials, patience, and effort to the punctual completion of the LION '68.: to Dr. II. | Alfred Farrell, our yearbook advisor; to Dean Graham of the American Yearbook Company, whose patience and understanding appeared stronger than our own; to Thomas Moyer, for our title page drawing; to the Office of Public Relations, for valuable photographs; to members of the student body, for photographs and photography; and finally, to the members of the faculty and administration, for their encouragement and suggestions. the LION Stuff 6K SSMOKS CYNTHIA H.

Finding the ratio of women reversed she took advantage of the situation by icing everybody, then en- deared herself as one of the first true Lincoln women. Dick the Body is one of our more outspoken classmates. While at Lincoln, noticeable changes occurred in the content rather than the volume of his speech. This should aid him in his chosen field, law. Sparegrass was a small-town boy who tried to convince the Rabble otherwise. He distinguished himself with his numerous Cheyenne runs and was one of the stal- warts of the Houston Rabble. Twig Branch was a transfer from Howard U. Possessing an outgoing personality, he immediately established himself as a foremost rabbler, a connoisseur of Fine liquors, and a fine athlete. I BOOKER T.

T-Byrd will graduate via a circuitous route; from Lincoln to Howard back to Lincoln. He was known for his outspokenness, which some- times caused him embarrassment. J. R. was what we considered a fool-hardy chem major. Yet, we knew that his dedication to science would not be in vain, in spite of the hair that he lost. One of his most noted accomplish- ments was wearing one pair of jeans for four years. Crabbie was quiet, technically-inclined student who, when aroused, acted explosively.

Terrible Tom , one of our most respected (feared) campus figures, dominated the cafeteria and the Vi lie with his very presence. But beneath the ex- terior, Tom was a serious and fair-minded young man who could give as well as taste. Contrary to his nickname, Benny Boo-Hoo did not complain all the time. A quiet, hardworking individual, lie will be remembered for liis timely rabble comments and New York excursions. Jack Dawks was surreptitious material fighter with a deafening voice and a Brooklyn accent. A founder of Slcasy Psi Piii , Jack abandoned the wine long enough to provoke deep thought with his philosophical rabble. .. as seen here.

We will remember his ability to lay cool in the face of adversity. Morris fulfilled the popular stereotype of the intellectual. A radical to the core, lie was brimming over with political schemes and coup d'etats. '68 predicts that Morris will be read about someday. WILLIAM FRYSINCER Cochrane ville, Pa.

He was an eminent weekender, and a truly consistent rabbler. He could often be found staring en- viously at empty wine bottles. His memory will linger on in respect and amusement. Space Ghost Tom was a modest personality who took his work seriously, and took his tastes and runs in moderation. However, his use of die Ville was not entirely residen- tial. His discretion in this realm will be en- viously remembered. 85 EDWARD A. MAXWELL, JR. Philadelphia, Pa.

Big Max distinguiscd himself as a consum- mate rabbler, B-Ser, and card shark. Tales of his days at Lincoln would interest followers of die absurd. Freddy was a quiet and unassumming stu- dent who occasionally injected radical dioughts into heated rabble sessions. Mickey was a carefree student who enjoyed dancing and piano music. While at Lincoln, his moods ran the gamut between pessimism and a cynical optimism. A soccer star par excellence, Beale was also an outstanding student and leader. But we will most remember his secret female visitors and his undercover weekend runs. JOHN R. MURRAY Limerick, Maine Chemistry Biology Club, Pres. 2; ACS Chemistry Club, V.

I A transfer student, Morley's main man be- came a permanent fixture in W. T. Jolm- son's chem lab, and like so many others, fought horrible material . For four years Cordell remained somewhat of an enigma. He was quiet, yet not introverted. Known as George to his frat brothers, he was a dedicated person and a responsible student. Snake Charlie went through so many changes during his four years that it is difficult to find the real him. Intel- lectually inclined, he could always be depended upon for deep rabble, out of which sometimes came useful ideas. We will always remember his meta- morphosis . 95 ALRIC SIMMONDS St. Thomas, Virgin Islands Economics G Business Choir 1-3; Vice-Prcs. Senior Class; Politi- cal Science Club 3, 4. ■ DWIGHT S.

Equally at home with rabble, women, and rum, Big Al managed to squeeze in his books, and make plenty of Moravian runs. Morley came to Lincoln after two years of study in the West Indies. Upon meeting Messrs. Jolmson, Rudd, and company, lie usually recuperated from the vigors of the chcm Lab by making runs to Philly. A Tennis buff, Tony always maintained his cool. He was unpretentiously pleasant and sin- cere who did not take his endeavors lightly. Tony finished in January, and we envied him as he hatted up . D. T. was The Class Clown. He exhibited a propensity for vociferous debate, and despite the high-jinks, seldom failed to bring the truth to light. D. T. V policy was: Loud or be louded! ANTHONY C. ULEN Harrisburg, Pa.

He gained widespread fame as a writer, rabbler, and lush. He will be remembered for his Lincolnian editorials and his many words of wisdom. A survivor of 67. 5, Carl absolutely hated his real nickname. But his brand of rabble was endless and called for much jollies . We'll remember how Carl remembered all of his former classmates. Trying harder: was Coke Bottles' motto. He became very involved in campus schemes and organizations. He will be remembered for his enthusiasm, however misdirected it may have sometimes been. He is a winner. Although he mad many runs Lenny will be remembered for taking on more jobs than he could handle, and for bringing Nu Gamma Alpha to Lincoln's campus. 101 CLARENCE O.

A conscientious worker, he never allowed Iiimself to get behind the 8-ball. Smaxie was one of the most spirited members of '68. For three years he played with Doc Roberts and the Steel Band. Smax will be credited by '70 and '71 for holding the Lions' tail dur- ing prep rallies. Cap'n Crunch was a familiar figure in Oxford, buying groceries . A resident of the Ville, Crunch often fought material in the Canteen, and rabbled about liis old days in Pliilly with the Valley . When the Feasterville Flash first arrived at Lin- coln U. , lie discovered that Lincoln U. was not what he expected. Successfully adjusting to liis new community, he became a connoisseur of low grade vintage. 103 CHARLES C. BRACY Boston, Mass. Economics Art 2-4; Cross Country 1-2; Baseball 1-3.

Our Sophomore year began with much rejoicing and partying as old acquaintances were once again together. The leaders for this year were, David Petett--President. Richard E. Hill--Vice-President, Arthur James--Treasurer, and Kenneth Spaulding-- Secretary. Many oi tne members of this class were living in one dormitory named McCauley Hall, but some time alter this class became the inhabitants, the building was somehow re-named Sin City , which to this day none of the members of this class understand why. During this year some of the classmates were seized with an overwhelming increase in their appetites; and in an attempt to appease their hunger they went to the canteen to eat. They returned to Sin City with an unestimatable amount of food, which they were all too glad to share with others. This would have lv n just another example of the charitable nature of this class had it not been for the fact that, when they were acquiring these superb delicacies the canteen was CLOSED. 126 Then on a cool evening in December, the class of L968 was asked to attend a festival at Cheyncy State College which took place about 1 o'clock in the morning. The small number (27) of students who were able to attend, had a wonderful time. They danced ON everyone. During this year there was one very tragic event which had a very gripping affect on many students on this campus. This was the loss of a very dear friend and class- mate, Mr. Donald V. Stewart, who before his passing ignited many progressive and necessary ways of thinking. Six of his classmates attended his funeral and acted as pall-bearers. This year was also a year of many new realizations and achievements. It was the year for pledging for fraternities, adopting individual thinking patterns and for the completion of the fine arts building. . . Ware Center. Work was also started on a new men's dormitory, and last but not least increasing the number of female stu- dents living on campus, which quite naturally instigated the first Panty Raid” in the history of the University. The Junior year for this dynamic class began much the same as the year before, only under the leadership of Richard E. Hill --President, David Petett--Vice-President, Alric Simmons--Treasurer, and Dwight Taylor--Secretary. The majority of the class now had residency in the Vet's Ville, which was known for being the moral pillar of the Lincoln community. The class had now been reduced to about one-half of it's original size due to the draft, failing grades, frustration, and unexplainable incidents. Two of the most popular members of the class, Ted Hawkins and John Imes, transferred; Hawk” to a morticians' school and John to a college of engineering. But those members remaining were now becoming very strong and stable in their thinking and very honest in their evaluation of life. They played important parts in campus life by keeping their unity and expressing their strength when necessary, such as in a demonstration against the Administration for attempting to expel three young ladies on very groundless charges. This was also the year when members of this class were vying for the position of President of the Student Government Association. The candidates were Richard E. Hill, Arthur James, and Charles Saunders, of which Richard E. Hill was elected. In the spring semester construction of a new women’s dormitory was began, to house the increasing number of female students. The school was more recognizably under a state of tremendous political, social, and academic transition, which this class working as one, weathered beautifully. 127 I Then on a cool evening in December, the class of 1968 was asked to attend a festival at Cheyney State College which took place about 1 o'clock in the morning.

We realize at the same time that we will be confronted in the future with more things we will totally understand only after we have experienced them. We speculate about the future and exactly what it has in store for us. We think about friends who have and will be splitting apart at the end of the year. Even now, just a short peritxl from graduation, we can feel the anxiety, the pressure and in some cases me tear ot what is wanted and what WILL be received. So in passing through the four years here at Lincoln, we the class of 1968. which has maintained our status as a unified group, have been involved in personal as well as institutionalcd transitions, and have learned many, many things applicable to life. One of which is A man is only a man and we know that uncertainty and insecurity will always exist, but they can be overcome by an unselfish sense of unity. Richard E.
