North Carolina Central University - Eagle Yearbook (Durham, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 330 of the 1984 volume:

4 mi- wii,. • « ♦ - t THE 1984 EAGLE YEARBOOK IS DEDICATED TO MR. LINDSEY MERRITT Voice of the Eagles To the regret of the university, the Durham community, and everyone that the Voice of the Ea- gles came in contact with, our friend and fellow Eagle, Lindsey Merritt ascended to the heavens to sing with the angels. Lindsey Merritt was a member of the NCCU family that cared about the students. He gave so much that we, the younger generation might prosper. It will be hard for many of us to accept his absence. He was such a positive influence in lives of so many Eagles, our only comfort is that we know he is at peace. The slenderly-built, 5 ' 9 , carmel-colored man, who held the position of director of student place- ment, was stricken by a stroke while in Dallas, Texas representing the university at the conven- tion of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. He died Sunday, January 29. Merritt, probably better known as the that raspy voice that gave the weekend play-by-play coverage at NCCU football games. He also served as chairman of the faculty athletic committee and was a friend and inspiration to every student and athlete he came in contact with. Although the lines of age were evident on his face, he was as energetic as any teenager. Often he would leave his home early in the morning and not return until late night, all in service to NCCU. Merritt served on numerous boards and committees at the university and would always put in those extra hours at no expense to the school that he worked at and years ago graduated from. Merritt could best be described as a family man, both home and at work. He excluded no one from his ever expanding family and rarely, if ever, did someone leave his presence without feeling the warmth that he emitted. He had a fatherly affection for the students and he always stressed dedication and hard work, whether it be on or off the job. It ' s not how much you get paid for a job, it ' s how well you did the job that ' s the real reward, he was often heard saying to students, friends, and family. Lindsey Merritt was dedication, pride, determination and concern all poured into a human being. On behalf of the entire student body, I would like to say Lindsey Merritt: WE LOVE YOU— MAY PEACE AND HAPPINESS BE EVER YOURS. msr  ||L M« mu North Carolina Central University Durham, North Carolina Excellence Without Excuse A Shared Responsibility EDITOR IN CHIEF James E.

Shepard as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua. Unlike many predominantly-black universities which are now state-supported, Dr. Shepard ' s school was not denominationally affiliated. The founder was active in the Chautauqua and in the International Sunday School Association movements it was from that ecumenical perspective that he established a school primarily for the training of black preachers. From the beginning a school with many purposes, this institution provided secondary education, trade courses, short courses for church workers, and bacculaureate programs in the classics and the sciences. The school suffered many financial hardships. In 1915, after bankruptcy proceedings were solved, the institution was reorganized as the National Training School, with its program primarily that of a secondary academy, although college-level degrees were offered. In 1923, Dr. Shepard faced the choice of affiliation with a denomination for support, or seeking state assistance. He chose the second option, and the school became the Durham State Normal School. Two years later it became the North Carolina College for Negroes to receive state support. In 1939, still under the leadership of Dr. Shepard, the school was authorized to offer graduate and professional programs. The graduate school was opened that fall, the law school in 1940, and the school of library science in 1941. By the time of Dr. Shepard ' s death in 1947, the institution had grown to a $4,000,000.00 enterprise of considerable stature. One year later, it became the North Carolina College at Durham. For a brief period, an interim committee directed the school. Dr. Alfonso Elder became the institution ' s second president. Under Dr. Elder, the institution continued to grow. Most of the new buildings on the campus date to Dr. Elder ' s administration. Dr. Elder who retired in 1963, continued his affiliation with the institution as its president-emeritus, until his death in 1974. Dr. Samuel Proctor Massie was president for the period 1963-1966. In 1966, he joined the faculty of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. Again as a transition, an interim committee assumed the functions of the chief administrative officer until Dr. Albert N. Whiting became president in 1967. In 1969, the institution became North Carolina Central University, one of the sixteen tax-supported institutions of higher education which compose the University of North Carolina System. NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY AT PRESENT Dr. Whiting has established an Academic Skills Center, a four year nursing program, an elementary education program with emphasis on competency-based training, programs in jazz and sacred music, in public administration, in criminal justice and in media-journalism. m Proud University The University offers the bachelor ' s degree in twenty-seven areas in the arts and sciences and the master ' s degree in twenty-onei in addition, it offers the bachelor ' s and master ' s degree in business, and the juris doctor and bachelor of laws degrees, and the master ' s of library science degree. Currently, North Carolina Central University enrolls nearly 5,000 students in five schools. The Undergraduate and Graduate schools of Arts and Sciences. The School of Business, The School of Law, and the School of Library Science. The University has an annual budget of $25 million. The University remains predominantly black but invites all students to attend. Many students at North Carolina Central receive financial aid. Nine of every ten students are North Carolinians. NCCU engages in athletic competition in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) with teams in basketball, football, tennis, track and wrestling. In addition, there are women ' s teams in Softball, basketball, and volleyball. Intramural activities are available for both men and women. The University has an Honors Program, and many academic and cultural organizations, including foreign language and other departmental clubs, as well as dance and theatre groups. It has a distinguished Touring Choir, a Concert Choir, a Marching Band, a Stage Band, and a string ensemble. It provides research opportunities in all areas with grants often in the sciences. Among its alumni are Maynard H. Jackson, Mayor of Atlanta, a graduate of the law schoolj Clarence Lightner, former Mayor of Raleigh, North Carolinai the late Dr. Vivian Henderson, noted economist and president of Clark Collegei Hiliary H. Holloway, vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and a NCCU trustee; the late John H. Wheeler, president of Mechanics and Farmers Banks of Durham, a graduate of the law schooli Ronald Barbee, judge of N.C. Superior Courts H.M. Michaux, Jr., former member of the North Carolina General Assembly, and presently U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina! W.G. Pearson, II, District Judges Sam Jones, former, all- pro basketball playeri John Baker, former Pittsburg Steeler, and now Sheriff of Wake County; Lee Calhoun, former Olympic hurdler, now head track coach at Western Illinois University; Ivan Dixon, television, movie and Broadway actor and director; and Hilda Harris of the New York Lyric Opera Company. Indeed, many, many successful individuals in business, in education, in law. and medicine are graduates of North Carolina Central University. A number of these graduates have become administrators, staff and faculty members at the institution. Interview with the Chancellor Q. Chancellor Walker how did you derive our 1983-1984 theme Excellence Without An Excuse — A Shared Responsibility? A. Business, Industry and the Educational Community will demand of NCCU graduates to demonstrate competence and excellence of performance. There are no more entitlements and our graduates will be except ed to compete with the upper ten per cent from all other institutions without excuse or rationalization. Students, Faculty and Staff must share in achieving this status. Q. Chancellor Walker what is the actually meaning of Excellence Without An Excuse — A Shared Responsibility? A. Excellence in performance in all aspects is an expectation. The NCCU students will not be excused from this demand. Q. Chancellor Walker what changes have you made for students as far as admission procedure is concerned that will improve our university? A. NCCU has not changed its basic admission to offer assistance to the disadvantaged. We do make a distinction between disadvantaged and underprepared. While we intend to take some students who do not score high on the admission tests, that group cannot be the major percentage of the student population. Twenty-five per cent of the 1984-85 entering freshman class will be in the top ten per cent of their graduating classes. We have also upgraded our academic support system to improve retention. Q. Chancellor Walker students have often complained about our registration procedure, especially waiting in those long lines. Do you think the students at NCCU will have the privilege of receiving the class schedule in the mail like other neighboring universities. A. NCCU is now in the process of installing new hardware and developing software packages to improve its Student Information System. The new equipment has greater flexibility and once the conversions are made, registration can be completed without lines and more accurately. There will be only one registration process. No pre-registration will be required. What you sign up for in early registration is what you get. You may even be able to pay your bills by mail when the system is completed. Q. Chancellor Walker under your leadership what direction do you see NCCU heading? A. NCCU must prepare to assume its position among the other fine institutions of the UNC System and independents. To do this, we must make the Excellence Without Excuse theme much more than a slogan. The pursuit of excellence must be a passion. Q. Chancellor Walker when you were appointed Interne Chancellor there were some critics who said you didn ' t possess administrative leadership. What were your feelings as you begun the position of Interne Chancellor at NCCU? A. The claims that I did not possess administrative ability did not bother me. The claimants were not aware of the administrative leadership provided by my services I. Director of Program, Planning, and Training for the Continent of Africa for Peace Corps As director I planned and implemented the programs in education and technology. 2. As President of the American Alliance for Health Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. The 50,000 member organizations Board of Directors was composed of leaders from major universities of the USA. 3. As President of National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics with its 742 members. 4. As first Vice Chancellor for University Relations of NCCU and other administrative services with State Departments. Q. Chancellor Walker will NCCU cirriculum have any additional programs like for example engineer programs etc.. in the near future? A. Several new programs will be implemented in the future; Computer Science; Agriculture Science; Criminal Justice; Middle Grades Education; Public Administration; etc. However, we are not authorized to initiate programs in Engineering. Q. Chancellor Walker next year is the 75th anniversary of our proud university. What kind of activities will the university be sponsoring to celebrate this occasion? A. The 75th Anniversary Celebration will highlight NCCU ' s Alumni in the areas of Arts and Entertainment, Science, Education, Business, Law, Politics and Civic Service. Departments will present exciting programs culminating with community-wide programs in the Chautaugua Series July 8-14, 1985. The schedule will be released within a few days (call the Chancellor ' s office.) LEROY T. WALKER Chancellor Walker plans his agenda for another active week. Chancellor Walker takes time out to take some pictures for the Yearbook. « - - mi -T ' - - -i ' -i MISS FRESHMAN LARESSA POOLE FRESHMAN Orientation ■■ • -T - - -fc -« Tyrone P.

' 6 O Half Of Fame NCCU ' S FALL THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE CHALLENGE OF THE 80s The Convocation is more than a ceremonial occasioni it is a reflection, renewal, and rededication to the future, said Chancellor Leroy T. Walker to approximately 2,CO0 students, faculty and staff members, and guests at the annual convocation. He emphasised that the university can continue to celebrate its rich heritage as a historically black university but only through its performance in the mainstream of education. Walker pointed out that historically black institutions can guarantee their futures only by producing a product that is capable of competing with the pool of human resources from the Dukes, Wak e Forests and Harvards of the world. Promoting the university and convocation theme of Excellence Without Excuse, Walker offered challenges to both the faculty and students. He said, The faculty must be more demanding of our students and must force them to take responsibility for their learning and total welfare. Walker added, For the first time in history, this generation of students will not have basic skills to equal or surpass the skills of the generation before them because our secondary school leaders .... permitted this generation of students to obtain its education in a smorgasboard, cafeteria-style curriculum in which the student could not tell the difference between the main course, dessert, or the appetizer. The chancellor charged the faculty with accepting the challenge of providing . . . for the betterment of the students and helping our students climb the ladder of success. Walker challenged the students to display the four Ds — discontent, dedication, devotion to task, and discipline. There are two kinds of discontent, he said, one that gets what it wants and one that loses what it has. A discount that works, strives to succeed, always in pursuit of excellence. Dedication he defined as an acceptance of the work ethic, a return to the spartan simplicities. He described devotion to task as the ability to hang in there. Discipline, he explained, is that which drives a student to become what he or she is capable of becoming. Only a student who has mastered these four Ds will be prepared to cope with the problems of the outside world, Walker said. Walker spoke positively to the group. I believe in you Eagles . . . that you will exceed your grasp, he declared. However, if you do not, lack of strength is not the cause but lack of will. Walker reminded students and faculty that society owes them nothing, and urged them to push ahead and extinguish racial bias, religious barriers, and social condemnation in order to reach the pinnacle of success. Walker told the audience, We all have two ends, one to sit on and one to think with. Success depends on which one you use. Heads you win. Tails you lose.

Augustus Shepard and his young bride, the former Miss Hattie Whitted. James Edward Shepard early showed a brilliance of mind and a keeness of wit. He pursued his training at Shaw University and exemplified there, those qualities of patience, punctuality, perseverance and devotion. In 1894 he graduated from College at the age of nineteen. On September 15, 1910, with little more than a dream to start with, the doors of The National Religious Training School and Chautaugua were opened in Durham, NC to all who desired to learn. James Edward Shepard defined the purpose of this school as follows: It is my firm belief that we need people in our pulpits who are trained to preach the wor d of God and to lead the people. With this belief ever before me — the purpose of this Training School shall be The development in young men and women of fine character and sound academic training as a requisite for real service to the Community and the Nation. When bills are on the eve of falling due, with not a dollar in hand with which to meet them, it is necessary for one to completely forget himself in order to remain calm, selfpossessed, patient and polite. This, Dr. Shepard did. In spite of trials and tribulations, this great man always found encouragement in his wife, Mrs. Annie Day Shepard, who not only was there to console him when the way seemed darkest, but worked side by side with him, buffeting the scorn and rages of a critical world, always ready to talk things over and ever ready to rejoice in his triumph. Soon afterwards a disastrous fire occurred which brought heavy damage to the remaining buildings. Many people said that the school would close. Dr. James Shepard received a personal check for 25,000 and quickly showed his wife. Ever trusting in God and speaking before the small groups or to individuals, the efforts bore fruit. The state liked so well the purpose of the institution that it brought his plant and took him along with it. The Durham State Normal School, as it was then called, continued to growi the graduated occupying positions of leadership throughout the South, and North Carolina in particular. In 1925, by legislative enactment, the Institution became the North Carolina College for Negroes. Throughout these years. Dr. Shepard made countless appearance before the Legislature. He was a well known figure in the Governors ' office among the members of the Legislature personally, and among the leaders and Civic Clubs of Durham. Nine buildings were dedicated on Sunday, December 5, 1937. Land that was once worthless, cut by deep revines, torn by unsightly gullies and weeds, became a garden of beauty. In October, 1947, James Edward Shepard was called to his reward, but not before he was granted a chance to see hundreds of graduates of his College sent into the world with a new song and new prayer. Not before he was given a Four and One Half Million dollar building program, including a Dormitory for men, a class-room Building, a Fine Arts Building, a Faculty Apartment Building, and Central Heating Plant. The beautiful buildings on the Campus are, by their existence, the mute and glorious evidence of a man who took his tip from a master who said, One cannot see the Kingdom or pick it out with a lo here or a lo there, who said that this Kingdom cometh not with obsevation, but as a mustard seed. . • • i i — « -•k ' «« ' i HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dear Old N.C.C.U.

JESSE JACKSON It ' s about Everybody winning On Tuesday, October 18, 1983, the Rev. Jesse Jackson came to North Carolina Central University with a message for the people and tickets to ride on the freedom train that ' s a comin ' . With B.N. Duke Auditorium packed and audience member encircling the building, Jackson told students, administrators, community leaders, and the media that the political issue in America is not about one black man running for the presidency, but about 10,000 running (for government offices), millions registering and everybody winning. It was a special event, as Jackson led chants of achievement, spoke of the sacrifices of previous generations, the mission before this generation, the overcoming of social, economical and political problems in America, and the need for a will to excell. The overwhelming turnout and enthusiastic response to his every word caused Jackson to pause and say that it was kind of errie feeling so welcome at NCCU. (He is a graduate and board of trustee member of arch-rival A T). But he continued to say that we must focus on a higher agenda. We must do something harder than just saving ourselves. We must save a nation. At the end of the program 300 students were registered to vote. When Jackson asked who would support him if he ran for president, virtually everyones hand went up. To this he responded, You can ' t support me if you ' re not registered. He further stressed the importance of registration by telling the audience that by not registering they denied other blacks government offices. He also pointed out that only a registered voter could serve on a jury and by not being registered they were denying blacks the right to judgement by a group of their peers. Jackson also spoke on the need to defend the poor, to unify the masses, to put social and economic injustice on the front burners. The Campus Echo ask some students Is America ready for a black president? Here are some of the responses. Michelle Hall Black Americans are ready, but the country will never allow itself to be. Being ready is not the issue. If we waited until the country was ready we would have a very long wait. We should be asking, is America ready for a black president; we should be stating. Ready or not here we come. Angela Langley No. because we as Blacks still have not accomplished the goals of life and self satisfaction. We have discrimination that still exists since the 1960s. Blacks still have not learned how to appreciate their heritage or each other. There ' s no need to make a Black man president until we ourselves have gone through a complete metamorphasis of self evaluation. Evaluating Blacks as a mass of dignified people. Until we have learned that a PH.D does not change the color of our skin, we will still be oppressed. We oppress ourselves because we forget where we have came from. I ' m (orry, Jesse but it ' s not time yet. It will be time when we can live out the true meaning of what Black isl Cynthia Mills Yes. America is ready for a black presidential candidate. Jesse Jackson would do a fine job. James Mitchell America is ready for a change, but a black president, that ' s another issue. I guess the only black candidate qualified to me is Jesse Jackson. Jackson has spearheaded a new black drive for political power. His slogan: There ' s a freedom train acoming, you got to be registered to ride has caused a great increase of registered black voters. He says, We can move from the slave ship to the championship! From the outhouse to the courthousel From the statehouse to the White Housel Now if Jackson takes this kind of belief and exploits it in the areas of economics, politics, and foreign affairs, who knows. We might have a least a black candidate for the 1984 presidency. RUN JESSE RUN WE NEED ANOTHER DIRECTION OUR TIME HAS COME I HAVE A DREAM I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply footed in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed; We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveholders will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state sweltering with the heat of injust and op- pression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plains, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With the faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God ' s children will be able to sing with new meaning. My country, ' tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing Land where my fathers died. Land of the pilgrims ' pride. From every mountainside Let freedom ring. And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of Mew Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of PSew York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvacious peaks of California. But not only that: let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring for Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that which says, there all go God ' s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gen- tiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, Free at last! free at last! thank God of almighty, we are free at last! DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING On January 16, 1984 the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People presents its second annual MLK Commemoration Service.

Mrs. Daley, who referred to a Wall Street Journal headline which read Robots hands work to simulate human hands told students that the world is becoming more challenging than ever before. She encouraged students to take a challenge beyond excellence and to amass expert power. We are a society of mass production and we mass produce information like industry produce cars. she said. Daley continued saying We are drowning in information and thirsting for knowledge. Daley advised students and faculty to follow a pattern of what she labeled the Seven Ss. Structure, systems strategy, staff, style, skill, and shared values. Daley cautioned that without these Seven Ss students and faculty would falter. Daley also stressed the importance of the unique self. Through self evaluation, one can assess his character and worth and decide to be that self which one truly is said Daley. In closing, Mrs. Daley compared a person ' s work effort to that of the making of a diamond comes from the rough. If you apply less pressure, crystal) less pressure coal and less pressure) fossilized leaves. Guest speaker Mrs. Daley (far right) takes time out to pose for a picture.

WE MUST ACT-SO Act-So is an acronym for Afro-Academic Cultural Technological and Scientific Olympics. It Is a major project of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Through Act-So, the NAACP is providing an instrument through which black youths may develop excellence in academic and cultural pursuits via the maximum support of their communities. Act-So is rooted in the firm conviction that blacks can succeed in the classroom at the superior levels of achievement constantly displayed by blacks in the athletic areas of this nation. It is the goal of Act-So to afford the same respect for black scholastic and cultural achievement that is awarded the heroes of the world of sports. Act-So will conduct annual academic Olympic competition for all students at NCCU during the week of homecoming. The procedure is for all interests. This program is one of the NAACP ' s most serious undertakings. according to Benjamin L. Hooks, NAACP executive director. It is a follow-up to the victories we have won for our children in the courts. It is the intention of the Student Government Association to employ this program in it ' s yearly agenda. By doing so, a means will be provided to the young men and women at NCCU which will enable them to reach the zenith to their endeavor, and which will also perspicuously exemplify the existence of knowledge and wisdom within the Student Body.

BLACK COLLEGE DAY AT North Carolina Central University Activities began September 26, at 12:00 noon in the Annie Day Shepard Bowl where approximately 200 students gathered to support Black College Day 1983 with banners, chants, and songs. Dr. Tyrone Baines, NCCU vice-chancellor for University Relations, said that black colleges suffered from shrinking financial support, declining enrollment, charges of mismanagement, and a loss of top quality staff members. But, he said, despite these problems, black colleges are still the major producers of black bachelor degrees. Guest speaker Mickey Michaux, former member of the N.C. House of Representatives and a member of the Board of Trustees, drew shouts and cheers as he started the chant I am somebody. He told students that they needed to be more politically active. He said that president Reagan ' s New Federalism as putting millions out of jobs and into poverty. Michaux warned that the budget cuts being made by the Reagan administration only reduced support for those in need. He stated that 500 small-owned businesses went bankrupt in a week. He stressed the need for black voter registration as the only way that blacks will be able to help themselves. Outside the Union were nine buses and hundreds of students waiting to go. Six hundred students made the trip by bus. Others could be seen piling into cars and falling in behind the buses as the group pulled out for Raleigh. The group assembled on the grounds of the State Capitol about 8:00 p.m. The rally began with James Webb, president of the North Carolina Black Student Government Association, expressing the concerns of black students. Following Webb, Dr. George Reid, president of the North Carolina Association of Black Educators and assistant to the undergraduate dean at NCCU, spoke. Reid declared that Black Colleges do make a difference. Black colleges have always opened doors. They are bridges to success. Seventy percent of all black engineers graduate from black universities. Ninety percent of all blacks who chose medicine as a career grad uate from black universities. Eighty-five percent of all black judges graduate from black universities. The highlight of the rally came when Ben Ruffin, special assistant to the governor, read the proclamation issued by Governor James B. Hunt proclaiming September 26 as Black College Day in North Carolina. Guett speaker Mickey Michaux. former member of the N.C. House of Representatives and a member of the Board of Trustees gave an inspiring speech. NCCU black college day supporters pose for a picture before loading the bus.

HALL OF FAME ENSHRINES NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY GREATS The evening was one of excitement as the university honored some of its most outstanding athletes in baslcetball, football, track, tennis, baseball, and boxing at its first Hall of Fame Banquet April 14, in the W.C. Pearson Cafeteria. Close to 700 honorees, guests, faculty and administrators attended the gala affair at $25 a ticket. Among those present were Asa Spaulding Jr; CIAA Commissioner, Bob Moorman; Tar Heel Coach Dean Smith) Senator Robert Morgan, and sportswriter Sam Lacy. Clarence Lightner, former mayor of Raleigh, served as Master of Ceremonies for the enshrinement of the 38 athletes. Sam Lacy sports Editor of Afro-American, presents the Ha of Fame plaque to Alex Rivera. Jimmy Carnes presents Dr. Leroy T. Walker his Hall of Fame plaque. Clarence Big House Gaines, coach at WSSU. presents Horace Bones McKinney presents Sam Jones his plaque Floyd Brown his plaque to the Hall of Fame to the Hall of Fame ENSHRINEMENT OF ATHLETES Israel Allen is remembered for his sterling representation of North Carolina College in the manly sport of boxing. He was undefeated in his quest for state and regional championships on behalf of the Eagles. He also played tackle on the football teams in the late 30s. E. Deedom Alston In the November, 1934 edition of the Crisis magazine, William Gobson wrote a story about the impro ved calibre of new college football competitors. Listed among the standouts in black colleges was senior Center and Captain Deedom Alston. Mr. Alston reminds us that the era in which he played was a time when athletics were not as highly profiled, supported and appreciated as they are today. Lathrop Alston was a letterman in baseball, basketball, and football during his career at this institution, which he first attended when it was Durham State Normal School. He was captain of the team in each of his three sports. John Baker played on the Eagle football teams from 1954 to 1957. All four of those seasons were winning ones, but the giant lineman came into his own in 1956 and 1957, when he was named to both the All-CIAA and the Pittsburgh Courier All-American first teams. He subsequently starred in professional football with Los Angeles Rams, the Pittsburgh Steelers. and the Detroit Lions, retiring after 12 years. Larry Black was the silver medalist in the 1972 Munich Olympics. Black also played a major role on the NCCU championship squads of 1972. In the 1972 Penn Relays, with only five sprinters from NCCU on hand, the Eagles managed to win three relay titles, set two national collegiate records, and missed a third record by only a tenth of a second. The sprint medley team of Julius Sang, Black, Horsley, and Robert Ouku finished the mile in 3il4.8, the fastest time ever in the world. Floyd H. Brown graduated cum laude from North Carolina College in 1944. He played varsity football and basketball, and in basketball was team captain, All-CIAA, and named to a newspaper All-American squad in 1944. He coached at NCCU for 30 years winning three CIAA basketball championships and two CIAA tennis championships. John A. Brown Became the first player from a black college to a sign a professio nal football contract. Brown, who was All- Everything at NCC that year, played center for the Los Angeles Dons from 1947 to 1950, finding time to play professional basketball in Dayton and New York during the same period, and moved to Canadian football in 1950. He was named to the All-Canadian Football teams in 1950. his first with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and in 1954, his sole season with the British Columbia Lions. NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL H A L L O F F A M E William F. Burghardt Big Coach Burghardt joined North Carolina College in 1937 and left in 1942, but his Midwestern recruiting connections had put the Eagles on the short list of football powers in those five years. His 1941 team would have won the CIAA championship, had an ineligible player not been on the roster. m 1 !■£ a ' I mi mu GEORGE BUSBY, who died in 1983. may have been the only athlete ever personally recruited by Dr. James E. Shepard. He attended the Durham State Normal School and North Carolina College, and played quarterback in football for the Eagles, as well at baseball. He is believed to have been the first Eagle named to one of the newspaper All-American squad in football. coached and served as a schoolteacher and administrator in eastern North Carolina until 1967. when he retired from Eppes High School in Greenville. He holds the Master of Arts degree from the University of Michigan. He remains active in the Pill County chapter of the NCCU Alumni Association and in Greenville ' s Cornerstone Missionary Baptist Church. LEE CALHOUN, holds gold medals from both the 1956 Olympics and the I960 Olympics, both in the I IOmeter high hurdles. During his career at North Carolina College, between 1953 and 1956. Calhoun competed in over 100 different meets. He came away with Ihe high hurdles titles in most of them. Calhoun has been head track coach at Yale University was Dr. Walker ' s assistant coach for the 1976 Olympics, and is now at Western Illinois University. Playing against Shaw University on November I. 1933. WAUNA DOOMS scored four touchdowns and 24 points and set a record that would stand for half a century for the Eagles, most points and most touchdowns in a single game. He was an all-conference choice at halfback in 1934, and also listed in various newspaper All-American lists. Although he is being honored in Ihe category of baseball. W. VASHON EAGLESON coached everything the Eagles played from 1921 until Leo Townsend became coach. He was employed as a teacher of chemistry, biology, and physics. Coaching was on Ihe side. according to his widow, Mrs. Frances Eagleson. REGINALD HAWK ENNIS was Ihe only North Carolinian on the 1941 championship basketball team at North Carolina College. For three of his four seasons with Ihe Eagles, he was captain of the basketball team, the team ' s most valuable player, and a member of Ihe All-CIAA team. His jersey number 7 was retired. During his four years at North Carolina Central University. CHARLES FOSTER was a nationally-ranked hurdler. He missed Ihe win he may have wanted mosti a gold medal in the 1976 Olympics under the coaching of LeRoy T. Walker. Foster placed fourth in Ihe finals of the Montreal high hurdles.

I am very grateful to those who had faith in me and those who believed I would represent North Carolina Central University well. I hope I did not disappoint anyone. There are so many memories that I will forever carry within me. Like everything, some are bad. and some are good. We learn from our misfortunes and we are thankful for our blessings. Being Miss Homecoming was indeed a blessing for me. North Carolina Central University has become a second home for me and I will truly miss my Eagle friends. But like time, I must go on and persevere into many phases of my new beginning. I go on to another aspect of my life but my four years here at North Carolina Central University will never be forgotten. Best wishes to all and remember to strive for Excellence Without An Excuse . Michele W. Hall Miss Homecoming 83-84 BEAUTY WITHOUT AN EXCUSE ' A WOMAN OF BEAUTY AND CONCERN When Jeanette Black enters the room, heads turn. Why? Because of her outer beauty and the warm and friendly image she projects. Why are these characteristics so important to this senior Marketing major from Charlotte? Because she is the reigning Miss North Carolina Central University and she feels, I ' d rather have people get to know me as Jeanette, the title is nice but I ' m still Jeanette Black and I want people to be able to relate to me one-on-one. Not as someone special. We ' re all special. Before being elected as Miss NCCU by the student body. Jeanette held many officers and positions representing several factions of the University community. She has been a member of the Alfonso Elder Student Union Program Board, has held the title of Miss Rush Hall, and is currently a member of the Afro-Academic Cultural Technological and Scientific Olympics Committee (ACT-SO), the vice-president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority as well as being Miss NCCU. How does she adjust to all the meetings, attention, responsibilities and the pressures of being in a demanding field like Marketing? It was a little hard at first but I ' m getting used to it. One person who helped prepare her for the attention to come was former NCCU instructor Dr. Roberson. Jeanette recalls how she used to announce to the class the newly elected Miss NCCU had arrived. I ' d be so embarrassed, said Jeanette. but I loved her so much. I really miss her. Her fondness for her former instructor gives one an indication of what she is like. Jeanette, although sweet and polite, has and expresses very strong views on the role of the black woman on campus and the American soci ety. She explained her disappointment in the way some women sit back and just let men do all the work, when they can do the job better than most men. She ' s not for ERA or any other notion that a woman can and should do anything a man can do. but she does believe very much in power of the woman. Jeanette may give one the impression that she is quiet and reserved but most of the time its just that I ' m observing and taking my time. She has a serenity about her that often conceals the nervousness that she often finds coming with additional attention and responsibility. She enjoys working with and learning from the other student leaders and often finds strength in their faith and support. Of her fellow leaders she says that. Webb is so | dedicated. Billy is loyal, Mark is inquisitive. Smuggie is a motivator, and they ' re all so help ful. Working around so many people is something Jeanette isn ' t used to. As a child she was raised by her father (her mother passed when she was very young) and often wished she had had a little brother to play and grow up with. As a child she was always provided with only what I needed, not everything I wanted like so many young people. The one luxury that Jeanette did have was her music. She recalls how she used to escape the loneliness and problems of the day by listening to Gladys Knight and the Pips. Marvin Gaye. The Whispers and Smokey Robinson. I really enjoy the oldies and I like them all. Through the years Jeanette has grown to be quite a lovely young lady. Even a queen. She. like many college students, will soon be out there in the world reaching for gainful employment. I want to find something in the marketing area and later I will attend graduate school. says Jeanette. Although she doesn ' t say it, one could tell Jeanette has come a long way from being a shy and lonely little girl to become the queen of a prestigous university. She doesn ' t say it but, implies that one day she hopes to marry and have a child or two. A boy would be nice, just like the little brother she never had. « ' -. mi mi m « m.:.-m MISS NCCU— 1983-84 11 1 K 1 3 1 1 1 Wt - lo B 1 Pll J 4|JT J Pff SHE ' S NO ORDINARY EAGLE Jeanette is being escorted by Boisey Armwood TODAY ' S BLACK WOMAN Chancellor Walker crowns our 83-84 Miss NCCU J E A N E T T E B L A C K Artis Moore places the famous maroon and gray around Jeanette Jumping to lend a helping hand Eager to learn Always there when you need a friend Never too busy for someone Especially kind to her peers Talkative in her own way Tender loving care to her love ones Even words cannot describe Jeanette ' s true beauty because alot comes from within.

As your president, I would like to thank-you for your past cooperation and active participation in making the NCCU Chapter of the NAACP the largest in the state of North Carolina — and I sincerely urge you to continue the struggle.

Alan Kidd rushed the quarterback all afternoon keeping the Livingstone offense off balance. The Livingstone quarterback had to be glad when the afternoon was over as he spent most the afternoon running for his life. PRIDE AND TRADITION | !j -  !£ -. .v The ' 83 season began with alot of doubt and speculations about the 1983 North Carolina Central University Football Team. Coach Henry Lattimore knew it would be hard to replace such veterans as Victor Hunter and Ben Tate. Coach Lattimore replaced those ex eagle stars with inexperienced youth, but talented such as Robert Green, Melvin Wallace, and Robert Clark. The Eagle got the season off to a good start by defeating Livingstone and Virginia State. Keece Carson kicks up dust as he gains yards against Virginia Slate.

IN THE 1983 SEASON The Eagles took on Winston- Salem and Hampton in their next two games. Not knowing to early in the season that the loss to Winston-Salem would cost the Eagles the division title. But the Eagles bounced back the next week by defeating Hampton in a night game in Durham County Stadium. The Hampton game turned out to be one of the season ' s most exciting game.

Rodney Rivers on his way to a 90 yard TD. Robert Clark shows why he started as a freshman with this great catch and footwork. NORFOLK WHAT? In the 82 season Norfolk State broke the Eagles winning streak. The ' 83 game proved to be as different as the Eagles really embarrassed the Spartans and sent them back to Norfolk with their tails between their legs with a 47-6 victory, improving their record to 5-1. Reece Carson and the other Eagle backs had holes like this to run through al day. All-CIAA Robert Clark couldn ' t hold on to this pass. Not even bad ribs nor Norfolk defenders could stop All-CIAA Clifton Kersey. HOT ON THE TRAIL The Eagles Express continued to roll as the Eagles defeat Elizabeth City and Bowie State. In the Homecoming game against Bowie State Gerald Fraylon needed only 17 yards to break Herman Matthews career mark of 3,902 yards passing. The Eagles improved their record for the year to 7-1 in front of the Homecoming crowd of 14, 155 by demolishing Bosie State 35-0, and Gerald Fraylon became NCCU all-time leading passer. Another score for the Eagle scoring machine. Praylon goes around the end for a first down. Another sack for the Crunch Bunch OF WINSTON-SALEM Clark catches a pass in front of a Bowie defender.

North Carolina Central University ' s volleyball team has finished runners-up to the perennical CIAA conference champions of St. Augustine College. Last year ' s record was 15 wins and 9 losses. Again this year, they are optimistic about the season even though there will only be three returning starters. Leading the way will be Jacqueline Pinnix. a 5 ' 9 two times All-CIAA right and left-handed power hitter from Burlington. N.C. Jacqueline is a senior honor student majoring in Recreation. Joining her will be Sherron Hayes, a 5 ' 6 sophomore who is also a right and left- handed power hitler. Sherron is a product of Durham ' s Jordan High School, and is also an honor student majoring in nursing. Terri Abel, a 5 ' 10 junior physical education major from Wadesboro.

Sherron Hayes SPIKERS EXCEL on court AND IN CLASS If, by chance you happened to wander over to the Women ' s Gym around four o ' clock on any given day, at first glance, you might think you were just looking at a group of female athletes. A Volleyball team. In a sense you would be correct. But there is much more to the 10 ladies you observed than their ability to hit a ball across a net. They are uniquci they are good athletes and are not slouches in the classroom either. So in the midst of Chancellor Walker ' s insertion of Excellence Without Excuse as a theme for this institution to follow, I would like to introduce you to the 1983 N.C. Central Volleyball Team. The team is held together by the leadership of captain Jackie Pinnix, senior recreation major from Burlington, who has twice had the honor of being named All-CIAA. She sports an above i.O grade point average and earned a 4.0 last semester while playing volleyball and basketball. The only other senior on this year ' s squad is Brenda Cox, a recreation major from Wadesboro, who received a 3.6 grade point average last semester and is an excellent setter. The juniors on the squad are not without recognition either. Terri Abel, a physical education major from Havelock and Cheryl Tyson, a criminal justice major from Winterville are both B-average student and talented on the spikers domain. And by no means at all is there a sophomore jinx on this squad, Regina Donald, a biology major from Charlotte and Sherron Hayes, a nursing major from Durham both B-plus students and two of the strongest power-hitters on the squad. The freshman young ladies are Laverne Pegues, an accounting major from High Point, Donna Johnson, a data processing major from Durham. Gizelle Mccoy, a special education major from Laurinburh and Melda Smith, a political science major from Henderson. They, too, are quality student-athletes and should be the pride to any coach and they are, just, that to Coach Shuler. By E.

Rushmore Recreation Park. Although they had not won a meet all season, they felt they would do well. Without any prior knowledge of the course the Eagle runners lined up for the start of the race. As the race developed, the Eagles gave their best and the whole team finished strong. Walker finished eighth overall, behind runners from St. Augustine College. St. Aug. was the clear winner, having the first seven finishers and Norfolk State was a clear second. But, the number three spot was one of uncertainty up until Coach McDonald turned in the score sheets. With a smile on his face, he returned saying Gentlemen, we got third . The team was extremely overjoyed because this was their best finish and the fastest field ever for the championship — with the top 21 runners finishing below 30 minutes. Among the top 21 were: Travis Coston who finished 19th and McDonald who finished 20th. Willie Hargrove was 22nd and Ricky Horton was 34th in the field of finishers.

COACH MR. RONALD WILLIE. One of the strengths of the Lady Eagles was their quickness in the backcourt. Lady Eagles in heated action against WSSU Rams. ' .. , i . ' . ' . i . i The Lady Eagles Of NCCU played for the Championship for the CIAA. Their opponent was the Trojans of Virginia State. The road to the championship game wasn ' t easy. The ladies had to get adjusted to a new system, new coach and each other. They had to play in an empty McDougald Gym and they had to forget the fact that not only did they have a losing season, but they finished last in the southern division of the CIAA. With a 12-17 record overall and 4-12 record in conference play, many felt that their journey to Norfolk would be a short one, but the ladies proved that one cannot judge a team ' s ability by its record alone. Behind the sharp shooting of senior forward Jackie Pinnix, the tenacious inside playing of center Dee Solomon, and the medium to long range bombs of forward Mona McLaurin and guard Sharon Wheeler — the ladies proved to be ready for the worst the other team had to offer. Add the rapid development of freshmen Robin Brooks and Priscilla Herring at forward and guard respectively, and you have a well balanced team attack with the potential to blow anyone off the court. In the three games, the ladies played to earn a return trip to Norfolk, Pinnix scored a total of 85 points and grabbed 29 rebounds. Solomon snatched down 47 rebounds and scored 50 points. McLaurin added 41 points and 27 rebounds for good measure. In the first game against Shaw, Coach Edwards got solid performance from Brroks (14 points, 8 rebounds) and guard Linda Nicholson who played i8 minutes as the leader on the court. Final score: Central 74 — Shaw 61. Against Winston-Salem, the Eagles had to overcome the combined point tally of 60 from the Rams duo of Monic Roberts and Keenan Menerce, before putting them to rest. Score: Central 94 — WSSU 89. In facing Hampton Institute, many thought that the Eagles would be beaten soundly. The Pirates, sporting a 22-7 record, played a tough game but proved to be no match for Central. With eight Eagles scoring from the field, the ladies battled their way into the championship game, beating the Pirates 80-76. In the championship game the Lady Eagles use a strong second half to upset Virginia State ranked tenth in the Sheridan Poll, for the CIAA title. Final score CENTRAL 92— VIRGINIA STATE 87. ( m m « „ m . m , NCCU TRACK The 1983-84 Eagle track squad will have many new faces looking down the lanes toward the finish line tape, and vying for points in the field events. Nine frosh thinclads will join four returning veterans in efforts to propel NCCU ' s track program back into the national and international spotlight which brought Olympic fame to Eagleland. Upperclassmen returning to the squad include: senior Malcuma McDougald who was red shirted last season due to injuries) Lee Perry, senior sprinter from Fayetteville, ran good times during the 1982-83 season Joshua Paige, Norfolk, VA, senior and a member of the football team, exhibited flashes of talent last season in the discus and shot put-, and Mitchell Currie, Fayetteville sophomore with a long jump distance of 28 ' 5.

Her name is Gwen Carroll a senior from Brooklyn, New York. Gwen will be serving as your Editor-in-Chief for the 84-85 Eagle Yearbook. Hello Eaglesi My name is Gwendolyn Carroll, and I will be the yearbook editor-in-chief for the 1984-85 school year. My goal as Editor-in-Chief is to produce a dynamite yearbook which will mark our 75th anniversary. I hope that each of you will give me your help and support, so the productio n of the yearbook will be a smooth and successful one. Lastly, if you have any ideas or suggestions for the yearbook feel free to stop by and discuss them with me. Gwen Carroll Editor-ln-Chief 84-85 Please give Gwen the same support and cooperation as you give me. For there is no qualified candidate than Miss Carroll. She possesses all the characteristic of a leader. She is patient, understanding, determined, goal oriented, motivator, and respects her peers. So please devote some of your time, and effort to the Eagle Yearbook Office you ' ll be working for a winner. Thank you Smuggie Dear Fellow Eagles: It was indeed an honor and privilege to serve as your EDITOR-ln-Chief of the 1983-84 Eagle Yearbook. The 1983-84 Eagle Yearbook office was faced with many obstacles during the academic year. Not only did we have the responsibility of producing a yearbook, but we strived to bring the Yearbook staff and the student body closer together as ONE. The Eagle Yearbook belongs to the student body therefore, it is essential that suggestions, opinions are voiced and respected. The yearbook staff sponsored three surveys this year that we hope would rekindle students interest in the yearbook. I can proudly say the surveys balloting were very successful. There were an average of 3,012 students who exercise their voting privileges for the surveys. I would like to thank you personally for participating. I would like to thank the following people for making The Eagle possible because without these persons the 83-84 edition would have been a dream not a reality. Mr. Robert Lawson, Inter-Collegiate Press Representative, Director of Student Affairs Office, Purchasing Department, Mark Adams and Mrs. Phyllis Shumate, Yearbook Advisor. I would like to give special thanks to the best Eagle Yearbook staff ever assembled. For as the saying goes A head is only as good as it ' s body. I receive a lot of compliments and recognition about the Yearbook Office. I cannot take credit for it alone. The 83-84 Yearbook Staff made me the type of student leader I was. The book reflects their hard work and dedication. I would also like to give special thanks to my mother and father for being supportive and understanding throughout my entire administration, and to my sister, Kim, who encouraged me along the way. Last but not least I would like to thank the brothers of the Tau Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. for helping me See It Through. In closing I would like to say, I hope you enjoy the 83-84 Eagle Yearbook. I really enjoy working for you North Carolina Central University, I think the 83-84 editor can best describe as Excellence Without An Excuse. Sincer ely Yours, James E.
