PAUL’S 84 sxohs dwnf FRESHMEN PLAYS BIG ROLE IN LADY BEARS FUTURE Morgan State University's Women's Basketball coach, LaRue Fields, will be looking forward to another season after losing 4 of her top 7 players from last year's 24-4 AIAW Region IB Championship Squad. Gone is the Lady Bears' all- time career scorer and rebounder, June Walton, along with forwards Sandy Whisonant, Faye Hastie, and Jancie Carpenter. With these four outstanding players leaving Morgan. Coach Fields will be losing 52% of last year's offensive attack. Most coaches would be alarmed at this statistic, but not Coach Fields. You see. Coach Fields has participated in the AIAW Nationals on three different levels in the last five years: 1976 Francis Marion College (player); 1977 Salisbury State College (assistant coach); and 1979-81 Morgan State University (head coach). Her three year coaching record at Morgan reads 69 wins and 15 losses. Coach Fields has three starters returning from last year’s championship squad: Seniors Mary Frazier, Terri Alexander and Junior Jackie Crudup. Frazier and Alexander combined to give Morgan State the best women's basketball guard combination in the country. Both are complete players, who carried the bulk of this year's scoring load. Frazier averaged 12.7 points and dished out 169 assists with career highs of 30 points and 13 assists. An outstanding ballhandler, Mary dazzled the crowd with her aggressive style of play. Alexander scored at a 9.7 points per game rate and passed out 133 assists. Her season's highs were 20 points and 12 assists (twice). Another handler, Terri, can play both the point and shooting guard positions. Both Mary and Terri are great defensive players and led last year's team n steals. Reserve strength came from Janice Brown. Benetta Mitchell and Loretta Pachel. BEARS HONEY BEA Emmitshurgj Morg.m Morgan Morgan ,LJ 16 University UK H� b. w PeK 20 Rutgers Annapolis.

A Number of problems, monetary and personal, had to be and were overcome through the dedication and concern of the year book staff. Obsessed with producing a quality and memorable yearbook, a handful of competent workers, with positive direction, spent long hours of heavy thinking and planning to achieve this goal. Traditionally, the Promethean has been a means of capturing and preserving the life and vitality of Morgan. Memories, women, and men are made here and the yearbook must capture at least part of the unique experience our grand institution offers. It has taken many years of devotion, determination and faith by so many administrators, faculty members and students to make Morgan State University a great place to grow. We hope you will treasure the yearbook as a diamond on the sands of time and keep your head to the sky. Love and Peace Morganites, Shawn A. Pindell Editor In Chief � • % SHAWN A.
