ESR bb MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY IS AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY INSTITUTION MORGAN’S HISTORY HISTORY OF MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY Morgan’s histroy began in 1867. The Centenary Bible Institute (1867-1890), the first epoch, was established by the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church to train young Black Men as ministers for their congregations. The Centenary Biblical Institute was governed by a five-member board of trustees composed primarily of minis- ters. Morgan College (1890-1939), the second important phase in the institution's develop- ment, signaled a broadening of the mission to educate men and women for careers other than the ministry. With the changing of the name to Morgan College, the mission became “to prepare Black persons of good moral standing for careers in public school teaching and other careers.” Morgan College remained private and church-controlled but its governing board was expanded to include prominent citizens in the community. Morgan State College (1939-1975) was created in 1939 when the institution was pur- chased from the Methodist Episcopal Church by the State of Maryland. As a state-support- ed college, governance passed to an independent board of trustees (from 1939 to 1967) and to the State Board of Trustees of State Colleges (from 1967 to 1975). This third phase of development saw Morgan’s mission expand from teacher training to a balanced liberal arts education. Morgan State University (1975- ) is the fourth stage in the institution's development. In its transition from being a predominately Negro College to becoming a multi-racial uni- versity, Morgan retains its historical commitment to train Black students in the liberal arts, selected professions, and graduate study. Now one of three doctoral degree granting institutions in the state, Morgan has become Maryland’s first urban-oriented university. THE ALMA MATER “FAIR MORGAN” 1.

MORGAN’S FUTURE New Science Complex During the upcoming years, Morgan State Universi- ty will construct a new building encompassing approx- imately 73.000 gross square feet on the site where Spencer Hall currently stands. Plans for this major project also call for renovation of Carnegie. Key and Calloway Halls, which comprise approximately 89.000 square feet to complete the modernization and expan- sion of Morgan’s instructional facilities for courses re- lated to the physical and life sciences. Construction of Morgan's new Science Complex will proceed in two phases. Phase I. which will begin in late December 1983, involves the locating of temporary modular units on campus to house the departments of biology and geography while the Science building is under construction. During Phase I, Spencer Hall will be demolished and Carnegie Hall will be complctel.v refurbished. Construction of the new science building on the present site of the old Spencer Hall and renova- tion of Carnegie Hall is scheduled to begin in 198-4 and to be completed during the summer of 1986, in time for incoming students to begin using these facilities dur- ing the fall. Phase II of the Science Complex Project, which in- volves internal demolition and renovation of Key and Calloway Halls, is scheduled to begin in June, 1981 and to be completed during December, 1986. Funded through the State of Maryland, the Science Complex will cost approximately $22,300,000 when completed and will represent a major step forward in Morgan's efforts and capabilities to increase the num- ber of graduates with marketable degrees in hi-tech fields. The Science Complex will house the following de- partments: Chemistry, chaired by Dr. Horace A. Jud- son; Physics, chaired by Dr. Frederick W. Oliver: Mathematics and Computer Science, chaired by Dr. Nathaniel Knox; Biology, chaired by Dr. Cecil Payton: Geography and International Studies, chaired by Dr. Frederic A. Ritter: Human Ecology, chaired by Dr. Herma Williams; Comprehensive Science and Science Education, chaired by Dr. Ueon Donaldson. Morgan's new Science Complex, which involves demolition of Spencer Hall, construction of a new building on that site, and the complete renovation of Key, Carnegie and Calloway Halls, is scheduled to be completed In December, 1986. Engineering School to Open September 1984 Morgan has received endorsement from the Maryland State Board of Higher Fducation (SBHE) to establish a School of Engineering in the fall of 1984 which will offer bachelor's degree pro- grams in electrical, civil and industrial engineering. Presently, applications and nominations are being reviewed to identify a Dean who will have the re- sponsibility for organizing this new school which is geared toward allevi- ating the nationwide shortage of minor- ity engineers. The Dean will be respon- sible for providing leadership, recruiting faculty and students, and formulating curriculum, as well as developing and administering the Engineering School. Conceptualization of this new pro- gram has been facilitated by the Engi- neering School proposal committee which was headed by Dr. Horace Jud- son, chairperson. Chemistry Depart- ment; and which included Dr. Julius Taylor, Physics Department; and Dr. Nathaniel Knox, chairperson. Math- ematics and Computer Science. The Engineering School represents •he continuing development of tech- nically oriented degree granting pro- grams at Morgan, such as Computer Science lnformation Systems, Engineer- ing Physics, Telecommunications, Architecture, City and Regional Plan- ning, Transportation Studies and Inter- national Management. These programs have been established at the University to better prepare graduates for tomor- row's increasingly technological so- ciety. Presently, University administrators are seeking funds from the State to con- struct a building to house the School of Engineering and have requested $100,000 for the 1985 Fiscal Year to begin planning for the facility The En- gineering building will cost $6- $10 million. It is anticipated that approxi- mately 30,000 gross square feet will be needed to house engineering laborato- ries, classrooms and faculty offices. Dr. Andrew Billingxley and Paul Walter, member of the Board of Regents, display a model of the dormitories that are being built on Morgan's Campus to house 312 students. Morgan Builds New Dormitories During November 1983, Morgan State University Regents, faculty, ad- ministrators and students were joined by community leaders and elected offi- cials at ground-breaking ceremonies for a dormitory complex that will house 312 students. The facility will be con- structed on Morgan's campus near the intersection of Argonne Drive and Hillen Road. This project is being over- seen by Dr. Joel Nwagbaraocha. Vice President, University Planning and Op- erations, and Mr. Eduardo Baranano, Construction Manager. Morgan's new dormitory complex is comprised of three buildings that are three stories high and designed to house 94 students each; and a one story build- ing that will provide space for an ad- ditional 30 students. The cost of these four buildings will be $3,100,978, in- cluding site preparation features such as lighting and roadways. Plans are also being developed for a 2,500 square foot community building at a cost of $ 160- SI 70,000 that will include an admin- istrative office, a mailroom, a small store and a student center. This component of the dormitory project will be bidden in the very near future. Funding the new dormitories is being provided through a $3.4 million loan from the Federal Government College Housing Program because the State of Maryland does not provide monies for student housing. Repayment of the loan will be made through the revenues gen- erated by the use of the housing facility. While construction of the 312 unit facility will begin to address the short- age of residences on Morgan's campus, it does not fulfill all of the needs of students who want to live on campus so that they can be close to the library, classrooms and other facilities. There is still a need for additional new dormi- tories and, realizing that the State will not provide funding for such facilities. University administrators have begun developing plans to acquire private support for future student housing projects. ($) Morgan State University BAMmorr.

Morgan Sprinters Vie for Olympic Slots With the 1984 Summer Olympics rapidly approaching, the nation's track experts have their eyes on Los Angeles, California where as many as three of Morgan's Golden Bears could wear the red, white and blue colors of the United States Olympic Team. According to Morgan track coach Leonard Braxton, Ms. Roberta Belle leads the group of Morgan sprinters ex- pected to make their mark in the Sum- mer Olympics. Ms. Belle, who was an alternate on the 1980 team that with- drew from the Olympics for political reasons and did not compete in the Soviet Union, is especially eager to get a second chance to participate in the international competition. She has been clocked as one of the nation's fastest quarter-milers and also ranks high on the international scene. Roberta, who is a graduate of Baltimore's Douglass High School, is presently training intensely in her efforts to make the team. Janet Dodson, another native Bal- timorean, is a graduate of Northwestern High School and is also expected to make a successful impression on the selection committee for the United States Olympic Team. Ms. Dodson pres- ently holds American and NCAA Divi- sion II records in the 300 meter, mile- relay and the 880 meter relay races. Jack Pierce, a Morgan senior qualified for the Olympic trials last summer by clocking a world record time of 13.44 seconds in the trials of the World Uni- versity Games in Canada. Pierce was planning to participate in the 1988 Olympic Games, but recent improve- ments in his speed and form have led him to decide to try for the 1984 team. A native of Woodbury, New Jersey, Jack is currently ranked as one of the World Top Twenty 120 meter hurdlers. Earl G.

MORGAN ALUMNI GROUPS HOST LEGISLATIVE RECEPTION Morgan State University's alumni chapters and organizations recently hosted their second annual reception in Annapolis for Maryland's Legis- lative body. The gala event was attended by more than 200 people includ- ing Senators and Delegates from Baltimore City as well as virtually every county in the State. Additionally, there were numerous represen- tatives of Morgan's Board of Regents, staff, faculty and students present to participate in the festivities while talking to legislators about matters of vital interest to Morgan's future such as the budget, the Engineer- ing School and funding for the Science Complex which will house this new degree granting program. Held in the Baltimore City Delegation Room of the Lowe Office Building, the purpose of the reception was to further strengthen channels of communications between elected officials and the various organizations that have supported Morgan over the years. National concern about the State Legislature's role in determining Morgan's future was demonstrated through the cooperative funding of the reception by the following alumni chapters and clubs: M.J. Naylor Chapter, Howard L. Cornish Chapter, Varsity ‘M’ Club, and the Golden Bears, Inc. of Baltimore: the New York Chapter; the Detroit Chapter of Michigan; the Chicago Chapter of Illinois; the Richmond Chapter of Virginia; the New Castle County Delaware Chapter: the Philadelphia Chapter of Pennsylvania; the Class of 1950: and the National Aluml Association. Looking at State Government, the number of Morgan graduates who have become elected officials in Maryland is impressive and includes Senator Clarence Blount as well as Delegates Howard Pete Rawlings, Ralph Hughes. Curtis Anderson. Richard Dixon. Clarence Tiger Davis and Nathanial Oaks, all of whom were present at the reception. Among the many other elected officials who attended the event were Senators Nathan Irby. Frank Shore. Barbara Hoffman, and Delegates Hattie Harrison. Ruth Kirk. Bucky Muth. Larry Young, Mary B. Adams, Wendell H. Phillips, Susan Buswell and Sandy Rosenberg. Presently, Morgan's diverse alumni organizations are planning future receptions and other activities to provide elected officials, individuals and organizations with opportunities to meet Morgan's officials, staff members, faculty and students while learning more about the University. Among those attending the reception were Dr. Andrew Billingsley (rear center) 2nd Row (l-r) John Griswald, Mrs. Griswald, Mrs. Doris Butts and Mrs. Emma Minott of the Philadelphia Alumni Chapter, and Lawrence Montgomery. Director of Alumni Affairs; Front (l-r) Regents Dr. Rebecca Carroll and Marty Resnick along with Mrs. Resnick. 122 MSU’S HONORS PROGRAM SUCCEEDS Structurally, the University Honors Program is and has been since 1974 the broad umbrella under which all honors-related activities at Morgan State fall. It includes: (a) a General Honors Program, (b) Departmental Honors Programs: (c) a network of honor societies (d) Curricular and extra-curricu- lar honors activities; and (e) Scholarship Pro- grams, all coordinated through the Office of the Honors Program Director. All of these compo- nents aim at attracting high ability students and involving them in challenging and intellectually fulfilling activities. Standards for the Honors Pro- gram are uniform throughout the University, and the program involves full-time undergraduates in the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and Management, and the School of Edu- cation and Urban Affairs. Programs for honors students have been signifi- cantly strenghtencd and improved during the 1980’s, with heavy emphasis being placed on en- couraging students to participate during their freshman year or before when possible. Under the leadership of Professor Clayton Stansbury, an intensive six week summer pro- gram for high ability students prior to their admis- sion to Morgan was conducted in Summer 1983. Twenty five graduating high school seniors were provided intensive instruction in English, math, and computer science, combined with intensive academic counseling. Twenty-four of those stu- dents entered Morgan in the Fall and encountered success during their first semester. This program will be repeated during the summer of 1984. One-hundred-ninety-three students were en- rolled in honor courses during the 1982-83 aca- demic year as compared with 163 during 1981-82. It is anticipated that this trend of increasing par- ticipation in the Honors Program will continue the 1983-84 school year. One of the most important components of the Honors Program is the recognition of student achievements through enrolling them in honor so- cieties in their respective fields. Recently, induc- tion ceremonies were held for several Morgan honor societies including Promethean Kappa Tau, Alpha Lambda Delta. Phi Eta Sigma and Alpha Sigma Lambda. MORGAN STATE MARCHING BAND TO BE REPRESENTED AT THE OLYMPICS Morgan Slate University’s Marching Band is recognized as being one of the top units of its kind in the nation. Since the Morgan State University March- ing Band has national recogni- tion. the group's directors were recently invited to recommend four students to participate in the Olympic All-American March- ing Band” for the XXlIIrd Olympics in Los Angeles. Cali- fornia. Four students were recom- mended by Morgan State Band directors John Newson and Mel- vin Miles, and three of these stu- dents were selected by the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee to be members of the “Olympic All-American March- ing Band. These students are Mr. Reginald Allen, Mr. Vincent Quarles and Mr. Terrance Gal- lop. Reginald Allen is a 19 year old sophomore majoring in Music Education. He is studying the tuba and baritone. Reginald per- forms on the sousaphone with the MSU band and will be per- forming on this instrument in the Olympic All-American Band. Reginald Is also a member of Morgan's Concert Band and the Greater Baltimore Wind Ensem- ble. Vineet Quarles is a 19 year old Freshman Telecommunication student from Philadelphia, PA. Vincent performs on trombrone in the MSU Marching Band and will be performing on trombone in the Olympic All-American Band. In addition to performing in the marching band, Vineet is a member of the MSU Concert Band and the MSU Jazz Ensem- ble. Terrance Gallop is an 18 year old freshman majoring in Music Education. This native Baltimor- ean is studying the trumpet and will be performing on the trum- pet in the Olympic All-American Band. Terrance participates in Morgan's Concert Band, Jazz En- semble and the Greater Balti- more Wind Ensemble. Mr. Allen, Mr. Quarles and Mr. Gallop will be included in a group of talented young musi- cians from universities through- out the United States. These stu- dents will come together July 14 thru August 12. 1984 to partici- pate in both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Los Angeles Olympics. These cere- monies will play to the largest television audience in history — over 2.5 billion people, Mr. New- son and Mr. Miles were assured that at least one of the students that they recommended would be selected, therefore it is felt that having three students selected to participate in the Olympic All- American Band Is quite an hon- or. The Olympic All-American Marching Band will be com- prised of 1,000 college-level mu- sicians. The Los Angeles Olym- pic Organizing Committee will provide these students with round-trip transportation to Los Angeles. Participants will be housed at the Olympic Band En- campment in the Los Angeles area, and all meals and ground transportation will be furnished by the LAOOC. This is not the first time Mor- gan State University Marching Band members were selected to participate in All-American Marching Bands. There was an All-American Band formed for the opening of the Epcot Cen- ter in Disney World which In- cluded three members of the Morgan State Band. The students that participated in this All- American Band were Mitchell Coates, Marcus Green and Mar- vin Leach. All of these students should be saluted for their con- stant pursuit of academic and musical excellence. MORGAN CHOIR TRIUMPHS AT THE MEYERHOFF While the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall has been the site of numerous concerts and or- chestra performances since it was christened, the facility has never been utilized as effective- ly as it was when the Morgan State University choir officially baptized the building with re- soundingly astounding choral in- terpretations of George Frederic Handel’s “The Utrecht Jubilate” and a fascinating composition by Nathan Carter, the group's direc- tor, entitled “In This World. The Morgan Choir immediate- ly mesmerized the audience by opening the concert “The Utrecht Jubilate,” a composition written for soloists, mixed cho- rus and orchestra. Beginning with “0 Be Joyful” and ‘Served the Lord with Gladness,” the full chorus rocked the rafters of the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall with the talented voices that have be- dazzled audiences in Europe, the Carribbean Islands, the Soviet Union and myriad other cosmo- politan locales throughout the United States and the world. The third movement of “The Utrecht Jubilate,” which is entitled “Be Ye Sure,” gave the audience an opportunity to hear some of the choir’s individual talents as striking solos were sung by; Mi- chele Short (alto) and Kevin Short (bass). Following a full chorus interpretation of “O Go Your Way Into His Gates,” addi- tional solo work was heard from Dorothy Fleming (soprano), Mi- chele Short (alto) and Gary Mur- phy (bass). Closing out Handel’s classic composition, the full cho- rus belted out galvanized rendi- tions of “Glory Be To the Fa- ther” and “As It Was In the Be- ginning.” ____ The audience was anxious for intermission to end so that they could get back inside the concert hall and hear more stirring sing- ing by the Morgan State Univer- sity Choir. Welcoming everyone back to phase two of the concert, the MSU choir came back on stage with two rollicking tunes from the musical “Eubic” enti- tled “Weary” and “Roll Jordan,” compositions which highlighted the solo talents of Lorree Mont- gomery and Elizabeth Hogue. Next the choir sang “You Must Have True Religion” and “Didn’t It Rain,” two tunes skill- fully arranged by Donald Dil- lard, a talented young Black clas- sical composer who works fre- quently with the Morgan Choir. Maintaining and incredible level of creative energy, Nathan Carter then led the choir through Charles Lloyd’s ar- rangement of “Walk About El- ders” and “I’ve Got a Robe,” much to the delight of the in- creasingly enthusiastic audi- ence. Calling on the orchestral skills of Eugene Thomas Simp- son, the choir completed the fifth segment of the evening’s concert by crooning “Too Late, Sinnuh” and “True Religion,” two songs which evoked thun- derous applause from the audi- ence. Moving into the grand finale of the evening, Nathan Carter conducted the choir in a cathar- tic interpretation of the music of Margret Douroux entitled “A Presentation in Gospel Style” which put the finishing touch on the official baptism of the Jo- seph Myerhoff Symphony Hall. Sponsored by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Inc., Pi Omega Chapter and the President’s Committee for the Morgan State University Choir, the concert will be remembered and talked about for years. Refusing to let up on its unre- lenting barrage on the audience's finer esthetic senses, the MSU choir quickly followed up with Randall Thompson's Alleluia” and The Last Words of David” plus John Rutter’s “Gloria (Movement 1).” Next came two compositions by Undine Moore entitled “Lord We Give Thanks” and “Striving After God.” Na- than Carter, the driving dynamo that has brought the Morgan Choir to the attention of music lovers around the world, then gave the audience a sampling of his own splendid compositional skills as he led the choir through his unique creation In This World,” featuring the solo tal- ents of Renee Smith (soprano). Prior to the intermission, the choir sang ‘Great Is Thy Faith- fulness,” a tune that highlighted the sterling silver soprano sing- ing of Janice Johnson. DR.

Though the season was a disap- pointment, the Bears’ opponents were by no means average or mediocre. Their opponents total records attest to that fact. How- ever, the season may have been salvaged by the late game heroics of senior wide receiver Ar- nold Clinton, who caught two fourth quarter touchdown passes against arch-rival Howard Uni- versity to help secure the brag- ging rights for one year in the Parkway Bowl.” This year can be chalked up as a rebuilding one for the relatively young Bears. With more experience for the team, winning football may be just over the horizon for Morgan fans. Stand outs— Offense: Alphonso Harris (RB) leads rush; 531 yds., 4.5 carry, Demostenes Christie (G) Defense: Cornell Goudy leads the team in tackles with 71 tackles and 2 interceptions. Darrell Brown,5 interceptions (CB) FOOTBALL 162 165 BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHTS This winter was quite a learn- ing experience for Billy New- ton's Bears who finished the sea- son with an 8-20 ledger. The Golden Bears schedule certainly did not provide them with many easy nights. With games against defending Div. II National Champion U.D.C. and eventual Div. I National Champion Georgetown, the opponents re- presented the elite of college bas- ketball in the nation. Led by Sen- ior guard Eddie Stevens, 22.4 points per ball game, the Bears were able to thrill and excite us on any given night. Highlights of the season included a loss to Hampton Institute by 2 points in OT and an OT upset of Earl Jones (L.A. Laker, first round selec- tion in NBA Draft) U.D.C. Firebirds. BASKETBALL 169 m BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHTS Coach LaRuc Fields Lady Bears provided us with many ex- citing moments. From watching Coach Fields win her 100th vic- tory (against C.W. POST) to be- coming the ECAC Region I Divi- sion II Tournament Champions, the Lady Bears definitely were able to win the “big one. Led by- Cynthia Robinson (ECAC All- Tournament Team, Kodak All- District Team, Honorable Men- tion All-American) who dropped in 16.2 points per game and yanked down 11.5 rebounds per game. The Lady Bears stifled op- ponents night in and night out. The Lady Bears definitely know the meaning of earning a night's pay- BASKETBALL 170 171 175 WRESTLING HIGHLIGHTS Morgan’s wrestling team, which is fondly referred to as the “Morgan State Travelling All-Stars, is striving to win the National Championship this year. Morgan has the only team from a predominantly Black in- stitution to achieve rank in the NCAA’s nationwide Top Ten Poll—not just once, but for the past six straight years. This year, Morgan's team hosted the highly prestigious NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships on February 24th and 25th. This means that Morgan State Uni- versity is definitely on the map in terms of nationwide wrestling competition among colleges and universities.
