Blackness is a truth which stands at the center of the human experience, and that all who reflect the rays of that dazzling darkness reflect a truth which is close to the truth of man. For if truth, as Jean- Paul Sartre noted, is the perspec- tive of the truly disinherited, then the black man is the truth or close to the truth. . . . the black man is the truth or close to the truth, that blacknes's constitutes the truth of the truth, and that Black Studies is the reve- lation of that truth and the search for the true meaning of blackness. . . . blackness is that universe of values and attitudes and orienta- tions which rises, like dew, from the depth of our ancestral. eXperi- ence and pulls us toward the dis- tant shores of our destiny. -Lerone Bennett 49 h. l.

But coach Arthur MacAfcc and his Tigers weren't buying it. First, theyr defied the prediction when they captured second place honors in the Georgia Invitational Tournament. Then they aggravated the insult by winning the 1970-71 city championship with an unblemished 4-0 record. And made believers of everyone ending the season with a 15-6 overall slate and a berth in the coveted SIAC basketball tournament.

Perhaps the only solace Coach Merchant and his Marron Tigers salvaged was the 7-0 victory over Clark College. The victory ended a eight year draught. The other Tigers' victories were over Hampton Institute, 52-13, and Miles College, 24-6. Maybe, just maybe a better season awaits the Tigers. - 135 SIAC Swimming Champs For the fifth consecutive year the Morehouse Tigersharks have captured the SIAC swimming crown. The Tigersharks have been acclaimed the No. 1 Black swimming team in the country, and rightfully as evi- dent of a 93-2 slate over the past years.

Gloster and Family I sincerely believe and I devoutly pray that the present turmoil and turbulence represent the agony and anguish through which we must pass before we behold the dawn of a new day of love, peace, freedom, and justice. Nlany despair when they behold the prejudice and persecution of these tragic days, but I view the present as a period preceding a new era when a new man and a new society will emerge. As we review the past ofour people, we can see that they have shaken off the shackles of slavery and are escaping from the restriction of segregation. As history unfoldsa is it not logical to assume that we shall also overcome the ordeal of prejudice and discrimination?
