MORGAN, THE M-TEAM, IN RETROSPECT (L-R) The Honorable Waller L. Fauntroy, Jesse Jackson and Dr. Andrew Billingsley at 8th Annual Conference of National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Edu- cation (NAFEO). 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. Graves ’58, publisher of Black Enter- prise Magazine addresses the 1983 graduat- ing class on May 22, 1983. Leonard Braxton, Jack Pierce, Dr. Andrew Billingsley, Donald Farber, and Roberta Belle.
