Ocn Stosuf 000 On April 19, 1876 Governor Oran M. Roberts approved and signed the Legislative Act that created and established Prairie View as a branch of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. Founders Day is celebrated on March 11, marking that triumphant day 'in 1878 when Prairie View’s doors were finally opened. Records are unclear as to who performed the duty of determining and securing a place for the institution ordered by the legislative act, but it is assumed that W. E. Minor of Mississippi was appointed by the Board of Directors to do this. He visited and chose this site which was then called Alta Vista and was formerly the Kirby plantation. In fact the Old Kirby Building served the purpose of dormitory, laundry; recitation room and — all in the dawning of Prairie Views day. Prairie View’s early years were dominated by the concentration of Agricultural study. The school never had an enrollment of over 140 pupils annually in the first 17 years of its existence. This is because in those days many students were given employment to pay for part of their education, and until 1909 most employees were appointed by the state. After 1909 enrollment increased because the funds for the “appointment system” were abolished by the Twenty-sixth Legislature. In 1917 the record enrollment so far was over 925 students. This information was included in the first Yearbook produced at Prairie View. This was the 1917 edition of “The Prairie . It was also said in that book that the name of our school was “coined” when W. E. Minor and Richard “Dad” Wells were taken in by the view of the surrounding prairie from their vantage point in the attic of the old Kirby Hall. 2 Introduction The second Yearbook, or annual, produced at Prairie View was also titled “The Prairie” and came out in 1926. It is to this book that we dedicate this issue. The picture across the top of these pages was also taken in the 1925-26 school year. It depicts the entire student body of the time. The full color picture, left, is our attempt at imitating the original above it. It seems that we had the wrong equipment. There’s only one camera that does the job and its type was discontinued in ... 1926. There are still some around and further attempts will be made at Prairie View, to do what they did better then. ----Angela Wilson Our Story Continues • • • L. W. Minor was selected ns the first principal of Prairie View by Thomas S. Gathright of Texas A M. On March 11. 1878, Professor Minor enrolled eight young men os the first Negro students to enter a state-supported college in Texas. However, the school was forced to close the next term due to lack of students and funds. E. H. Anderson, minister-teacher of Memphis and Fisk Univ., became the second principal when the school re-opened October 6,1879 with an initial 36 students. E H. Anderson was plagued by economic distress and conflicting laws, however, he saw Prairie View through the storms until his death on Oct. 28, 1885 at 35. L. C. Anderson became the third principal when his brother died. During his 10 years the Agriculture and Mechanical and girl's industrial departments were added, as well ns many other improvements. He was a leader in his profession and worked untiringly. He also founded the Colored Teachers Assoc, in Texas. E. L. Blackshoar was elected the fourth principal in 1895, and brought what he learned in public school work and from Booker T. Washington. Mr. Washington addressed the first commencement. During his 20 years the school expanded vastly and intercollegiate athletics was introduced. i. M. Terrell, the fifth principal, came from Fort Worth in 1915. During his three years physical improvements were made despite the world war. The first ROTC was introduced in 1918 and later the Cooperative Extension. J. G. Osborne became the sixth principal in 1918 after acting as such. A medical doctor, he strengthened the Natural Science offering and created the nursing Division. The campus was expanded further and the four-year senior college was begun. W. R. Banks became the seventh, and last principal in 1926, ending a 70-year era that shaped the Prairie View of today. Mr. Banks retired in August, 1947 as Principal Emeritus, after accomplishing major physical and educational improvements. He witnessed two name changes and increased the school's status and efficiency, making possible certain master's degrees. The eighth pictured here. Dr. E. B. Evans, was a principal but his title became President in 1948 and there have been three presidents since. J. M. Drew (1966), A. 1. Thomas (1966 - 1982), and Dr. Percy A. Pierre (1983 - ). The campus builds and the era of presidents goes on. O' Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas for Colored Youths Prairie View State Normal Institute Prairie View Normal and Industrial College Prairie View University Prairie View Agricultural and Mechanical College Prairie View A M University of Texas The first name was established by the legislative act that created the school. It was used in 1878-79. With the onslaught of the training patterns of the New England “Normal” school, the second name welcomed students at the re-opening in late 1879. In 1889, after additions to Prairie View’s curriculum, the Twenty-Sixth Legislature changed to the third name. The fourth name was incurred in 1945 after many improvements in the school’s program. However, two years later, in 1947, the fifth name was created by the Fiftieth Legislature. Just in time for the Centennial celebration of Prairie View, the Sixth and present name was adopted. To Introduction 5 'p'uwi Ocvi 'P'te tcCevit As the second oldest institution of higher education in Texas, Prairie View A M University has an important heritage, which you the students continue to enhance. From the original eight students on opening day in 1878 to the 4,501 students who enrolled in the fall of 1986, there has been much change. The curriculum has expanded steadily as the university offered courses as a “Normal School” (1879), an Agricultural Experiment Station (1887), and a Land Grant College (Morrill Acts, 1862 and 1890), and then in Nursing (1918). We became a four-year college (1919), and later offered graduate studies (1937). The first administrative head of the new university was L. W. Minor, whose title was Principal. Over the next 70 years there would be eight principals in all, though E. B. Evans’ title was changed from Principal to Dean (1947) and then to President (1948). There have been three presidents since Evans (J. M. Drew, A. I. Thomas, and myself). During these administrations, the university has continued to develop its academic programs and improve its facilities. After years of insufficient funding, PVAMU in the early 1980’s was faced with a physical plant requiring extensive renovation and repair and a curriculum that needed updating. President Pierre and Donald Hense. Vice-President for Development, greet the members of the Texas Legislature that visited Prairie View on February 18. 1987. The recent renaissance at PVAMU is due in part to a belated recognition of the university’s important mission. This recognition came in several forms: with the amendment to the Texas Constitution in 1984, designating PVAMU to be an “institution of the first class;” with the access to the Permanent University Fund; and with the affirmation of the A M Regents that PVAMU become, an institution nationally recognized in its areas of education and research. We have begun a major construction program, providing long overdue modern facilities while transforming the campus into one of the most beautiful in the country. We have completely revised the curriculum, strengthened admissions standards, and recruited top-flight students and faculty. 6 Introduction Dr. and Mr . Pierre, as well as several other administrators. attended one of the Panther basketball games. Dr. Percy A. Pierre speaks to the citizens of Prairie View from the steps of City Hall, while Mayor Ron Leverett (immediate left) listens intently. You are among the first PVAMU students to benefit from the higher academic standards. Our research opportunities and achievements keep increasing. Last fall President Reagan honored PVAMU, on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Department of Education, for our exemplary alliances with private companies, federal agencies, and national laboratories. PVAMU ranks fourth in research dollars per faculty and sixth in actual research dollars in Texas. This is indicative of several positive facts: we are providing good research opportunities for faculty and students, we are providing up-to-the-minute technical instruction, and financially we are more than carrying our own weight. We are proud of many things. With many colleges facing hard times, PVAMU announced an 8% enrollment increase for the spring 1987 over the same period last year. Our construction continues, with a new Engineering Technology Building opening soon, a new Library due in the summer of 1988, and ground-breaking soon to begin for Agricultural Research and Physical Education facilities. PVAMU students are outstanding: in 1986, the university had 138 Academic Scholars and six Talent Scholars enrolling as freshman. Our College of Engineering graduates more black engineers than any of the nation’s 307 colleges and universities offering engineering. President Pierre spoke to a large Sesquicentennial - celebrating crowd when this year's trail riders passed through Prairie View-heading for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Dr. Percy A. Pierre shakes hands with Mayor Ron I verett. Both distinguished men spoke at the '86 MI.K Pre- sentation. President and Mrs. Pierre congratulate the Alumni Associatior Homecoming Queen. Benjamin Banneker Honors College was the first honors college established on an historically black college or university campus, and it is one of 15 honors colleges in the nation. PVAMU students are achievers: to name only a few recent instances, this year our architecture students won awards for their models against national competition; 61 outstanding PVAMU students will be listed in the 1987 edition of Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges; accounting students won scholarships from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; the PVAMU Marching Band was invited to perform during the NBA Playoffs; the PVAMU Forensic Society won trophies at the Barbara Jordan Forensic Tournament and at Pi Kappa Delta’s national tournament in LaCrosse, Wisconsin; and last summer there were more PVAMU Engineering interns in national research laboratories than any other university in the nation. As you know, we also have successful alumni in all fields, whose ranks you will soon join. ' Thank you for carrying our heritage so well into a very bright future. 'p VKt“A “Forewords” 1917 “The anxiety which always attends the launching of a new project. no matter how insignificant or grand it may be. is ours. And so with certain hopes and fears and aims we present to the friends and well-wishers of Prairie View thus pioneer copy of The Prairie . In it we have given you a glimpse of our lives, something of the things that move us toward the high destiny which the founders of Prairie View have sought to make possible for us. We have placed into it something more and yet something which is unseen. It is the spirit of Prairie View, the spirit which has made it possible and which assures its perpetuity os the guiding spirit of the Negro youth of Texas. 1926 In the past few years we have carefully observed our fellow students in the routine of their scholastic duties and in the pleasures of their social life. Since it has fallen to our lot to serve as recorders of these observations, we have tried to make them as lasting as the rocks of ages. If in looking through these pages of this second volume of THE PRAIRIE, you are able to recall with pleasure the almost forgotten days spent at our dear old Prairie View, we, the Editors, consider that we have accomplished our purpose. Occi Stony .. . We share the anxiety of the editors and staff members that produced the first yearbook at Prairie View. There’s always pressure when your job is to put history, and emotion, into words and pictures. Capturing the unique spirit that does dwell in the entire university, is not an easy task. Although there are many more things to cover in this book, we have tried to touch on everything. We arc, today, challenged by the task of observing our fellow students. We couldn't capture everything, but we hope we have given a glimpse of all. In a sense we are pioneers of a new era — the Prairie View of tomorrow — built on so many yesterdays. We have given the record of PVAMU’s heritage a new name Pardus. This latin word means Panther. One that is at the peak of his maturity ready to dominate his future with power and pride ... and spirit. This, the fourth, name fits the new generation as the previous three fit theirs: THE PRAIRIE, THE PANTHER, and PAN-THERLAND. We are only able to attempt our task because of those forenames and all they represent of Prairie View's heritage. Therefore, we dedicate this issue to THE PRAIRIE, the beginning. — Angela Wilson t FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE PRAIRIE” FEBRUARY I. 1926 Sorting Capital Surplus Aivu Liabilities S 00 00 000 00 0000 00 00000 00 Total Working Capital S 00000.00 Received from Popularity Contest $ 527.00 Received from Senior Claw 79 00 Paid by Frank Thomas as a bribe to win place as Most Handsome Boy 10 00 Proceeds of moving picture show LOO Sale of annuals netted 22 00 Proceeds of crap game in annual office 9.00 Received from Freshman Class to keep from being represented as ’Greenhorns 97 Donation from Professor Whittaker 01 Received from Mr N B Edwards typewriter in hock -� V00 Proceeds of milk and cream stole and sold 21 52 One stamp sold .02 Moneys from embezzlements and swindling 974 61 Awarded in lawsuit against Professor N B Edward for hocking his typewriter 8.546.68 A note held on Professor Carrol's and Professor Carpenter s cars, together ‘♦OO Total cash on hand S9.406.62 Total cash on hand S9.406.62 Audited by B.

Introduction 9 Mission and Purpose The mission and purposes of Prairie View A M University are derived from state and federal statutes providing for its establishment and support. It is designated as a general purpose institution offering a broad range of academic, research, public service and international affairs programs. As a land-grant university. Prairie View A M is especially committed to providing continuing training opportunities for students in Agriculture. Home Economics, Engineering and related branches of learning. In addition to these general purposes. Prairie View A M is charged with responsibility to provide programs appropriate for special minority student populations and to assist in the economic and cultural development of small and medium sized communities and business enterprises. Academic programs offered by the University lead to baccalaureate and master’s degrees in the Arts. Sciences and a variety of professional fields of specialization. Research and service programs are also included. Prairie View Home of The 'Pandect 10 Introduction Prairie View ia, at this time, 109 years old. These word were written on the occasion of the 75th anniversary. They still apply. What do the years mean? For man or institution, if they are Tilled with the honest sweat of service to humanity — with the patient following of that higher law of unflinching fidelity to the dictates of a calling — the years are a benediction. Prairie View is an institution — a public institution. But an institution is an empty thing without the beating hearts and yearning souls of mortal men. ... men have lived and dreamed here until every blade of grass and every rock, in that wise pri-morial way in which the primitive earth knows the cares, has joined the choir invisible to bless their memory. For ever.' man whose foot has touched this hallowed soil has found spirit, and has broadened and deepened it until what started out as an amhitionless meandering stream has become a purposeful river upon whose tide, now turbulent, now-tranquil, floats the destiny of countless human hopes and dreams. The spirit of an institution is the compound of many things — a strange and often quixotic amalgam of unrelated, sometimes contradictory, elements. Founded, symbolically, upon the ruins of a slave plantation, this college was authorized in the spirit of fair play of the constitutional convention of 1876 where wisdom would not allow vengeance to triumph over justice. The humble student, from every nook and cranny in the land, has left his laughter upon the wind, his hopes within the lurking shadows of our halls and by-ways. The giants, the worldshakers. have stood on our hill to mingle their search for truth with the fledgling's hopes for life. And men of dedication have worked here — worked to bring a new heaven and a new earth often only with faith and their hands — often without the spiritual or material compensation that their sacrifices merited — but always with a sense of mission — writh a sense that somehow, some way. time would reward their efforts—would give to those to whom they had given their minds the victory of a new world—of an enlightened society. Could we do better... than pay homage to this amalgam, this spirit? Can we do less than dedicate our live to the task of fostering it, nurturing it, stimulating it — that those who will walk this ground, these halls, will know, and be better men because of it? Alma Matter —“Dear Prairie View” Dear Prairie View our song to Thee we raise. In gratitude we sing our hymn of praise. For mem'riea dear, for friends and recollections. For lessons learned while here we've lived with thee. For these we pledge our hearts full of devotion. To serve thee now. and through eternity.----- As day go by our hearts will not grow cold. Wall love Thy purple royal and Thy gold. We’ll through our live exemplify Thy teaching. Well always strive a blessing to be. Thy children we our love and pride confessing, Well love Thee now and through eternity. Words by O.

Jan. 28. 1986 the U.S. space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after launch. The $1.2 million disaster set NASA and the space program back monetarily and in confidence. It took the lives of seven very special heroes. 'Francis Scokcc was the Com-mending Officer for the launch. The 50 year-old pilot was from Cle Elam. Wa. •Ronald McNair. 36. came from lake City, S.C. through incredible odds to reach the stars he had always dreamed of. PVAMU honored the pioneer black astronaut. •Judith Resnick was among the first women to ride a shuttle. At 37 she had a doctorate in engineering and was working on her pilot's certification. •Rlli on Onizuka came from a coffee field in Hawaii to be the first Hawaiian and first Japanese to fly in space. At age 40 he had an incredible record as an Air Force test pilot and NASA astronaut. •Michael Smith. 41. came from the farmlands near Beufort, N.C. with commendations in academics, athletics and fly-ing. •Gregory Jarvis. Detroit born and New Jersey raised, was 42 with engineering degrees and service with the Air Force and Com-Sat. •Christa McAuliffe at 36 was the only civilian on board. A school teacher of Concord. N.H,,8he was a symbol to students everywhere. The city of New York gave the Statue of Liberty a big 1986 bash — a Fourth of July festival of song, celebrities and fireworks honoring the great lady’s first 100 years. Pictured right is Oliver North who was a key participant in the Iran Arm-contra Scandal. It was said that money and arms were traded with Iran in return for hostages. The goods were then given to the Nicaraguan Contras. Below center is a picture of one of five sites in Libya that President Reagan ordered bombed as a retort to the threats and act of aggression made by Gaddafi. The President and First I-ndy launched a massive program to fight drug abuse. Pictured right is “crack”, an almost pure form of cocaine. The deadly, smokable drug offers a very addictive high. The substance is said to be filling the streets ... and or the morgue at a rapid rate. 12 Introduction Gennadiy Zakharov, a Soviet U.N. employee was arrested in New York City and charged with spying. A week later American journalist Nicholas S. Daniloff was arrested on the street of Moscow, accused of spying on the Soviet Union. Both men were released within weeks and the stage was set for the Summit in Iceland. Housewife and widow Corazon ‘Corry’ Aquino, 53, defeated ailing autocrat Ferdinand Marcos, 68, in the first actually legitimate elections held in the Philippines in 20 years. She gained a country suffering from long years of economic and political struggle, and a cabinet that houses people who might tum against her at a moment’s notice. Marcos and his wife Imelda fled with much of the Philippine national treasury and found unstable refuge in Hawaii.

They seem to be taking turns. Halley's Comet made its 75 year appearance in 1986. The icy comet made a spectacular sight by reflecting the sun's light. Its tail, a gaseous stream created by the sun's warmth, added to the picture that the legend made in the night sky. At least nine probe launched by four countries got even closer than earthly eyes could. The worst dry spell on record spread throughout the Southeast during 1986. At the peak of the drought, crops wilted from southern Pennsylvania all the way into northern Florida. Even after some rain, many farmers were on the brink of ruin. --------------— 18J6-I9K6 STATE .NAME: From tejus, Indian word meaning “friends” or “allies.” STATE MOTTO: Friendship STATE NICKNAME: Lone Star State Alk. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday became a national hol- liday when President W- L £ Reagan declared it so in 1986. PVAMU hon- ored the man of vision. The state of Texas celebrated its 150th birthday in 1986. Sesquicentennial celebrations Texas-style were scattered over the 267,339 square miles of this the 28th state. The city of Prairie View and PVAMU joined in and some people attended shows in Houston. f$Z6 cutcC t$Z7 o i G. K. Woolfolk spoke at the celebration in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday in 1986. Students of varying cultural Iwckgrounds listened in reverence to the inspirational words. Dr. Pierre, President, and Vice-President of Development Hense follow Mrs. Pierre into Hobart Taylor Hall where they were preparing for the legislative visitors on Feb. 18, 1987. Jackie Blair, a Journalism Student, met Craig Washington at the legislative press conference. Washington is a Prairie View graduate and now a State Senator. The new education building was opened in Spring '87 and houses many classes and offices. Governor .Mark White spoke at the commencement exercises here at PVAMU. From left to right: John Blake.

Introduction 15 pt aV 'c NT c« Mv nta 0 Memorium P. 286 Advertisements, Closing Touches P. 298 There are over 800 employees on campus ranging from landscapers and gardeners, to professors, to deans and department heads, to the president. There are close to that number, 800, titles also. However, in this section we have attempted to at least list all names, titles, and first day of work for everyone on the job at Prairie View. Some pictures were not available, as well as some information. This section also includes the Board of Regents and other Texas A M administrators as per availability. Many of these men and women have been here to see the struggles, changes and improvements in “the land of the Pardus.” In fact, it is their dedication that has, in part, brought Prairie View and its spirit to the present standard of excellence.

Tonight officially ends my reign as “Miss Prairie View A M University” 1986-87; however, the experiences I have gained, the friends I have made, the confidence and strength I have attained, the obstacles 1 have been forced to overcome, the mountain peaks and the valleys lowest ebbs I have come through during the past year, will last a life time and have strenthened my deisrc to become better than the best. Having come from a very humble background and being one of a third generation of Prairie Viewites, 1 now realize that the bond that flows through the veins of Prairie View’s illustrious alumni, compells one to strive for excellence. It was and still is amazing to me how Prairie View’s Class of ’35, members of the Class of ’49, the Class of ’53, members of the Class of ’61, ’68, ’78. ’80 and ’81 all joined together to make my reign one that will be viewed for years as a pace setter. My gratitude is abundant to all of my friends here at the university, the surrounding cities and throughout the United States who shared their monetary and physical presence throughout my reign ... forming an extended family for me that will sustain me throughout my life. My reign as “Miss Prairie View A M has taught me humility, pride in self and pride in this great institution. It will keep me ever cognizant of the necessity of Prairie View A M University for future generations, so that they too will know what it means to share a common bond and become one of Prairie View’s Productive People. My wish as I culminate my reign is that we join together, reaffirm our faith in God, in each other and in this university, never allowing the possibility of its closing to become a reality. To the students, I give my love and gratitude for your support, the faculty and administration, my appreciation for your commitment, to my family and friends a heart filled with love for your generosity and strength, to our new “Miss Prairie View “A M” my loyalty, love and best wishes.

Classes 101 Prairie View A M University is committed to training students in many fields with multidisciplinary versatility. The institution is dedicated to assisting capable students in gaining access to the mainstream of opportunity available in the United States, and in many technical fields — the world. This is coupled with an open-door agreement as this policy states: No person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity sponsored or conducted by the Texas A M University System or any of its component institutions on any basis prohibited by law, including (but not limited to) race, color, national origin, religion, sex or handicap. PVAMU boasts, therefore, a wide range of cultural backgrounds from which the students learn a great deal. The proof that Prairie View students do attain and maintain high standards i$ shown in an honor roll of over 300 students per semester. To qualify for the honor roll, a student must have carried a minimum of 12 semester hours, maintained a “B + (3.5) average, and earned no grade lower than “C . The Benjamin Banneker Honors College is named after a prominent figure in PVU’s academic history. The purpose of the baccalaureate programs in the Banneker College is to prepare students for postgraduate studies in certain scientific and technical fields at highly competitive academic institutions. Students in the Banneker College complete intensive versions of the traditional curricula in their fields. The Banneker students also participate in academic enrichment programs in their learning living environment. The Banneker College is a full-time residential college begun in the fall of 198-1. For Prairie View graduates “holding the world in the palm of the hand” is not an impossible goal. 102 Academics s4c utemcc W. R. Banks Library is the building that houses the foundation of learning, of academics. The library, named in honor of a former chief administrator, has undergone two stages of development. The first stage was completed in 1945 and then expanded in 1968 with a halfmillion dollar addition to the building. The library has three floors and provides seating for five-hundred readers. The fast-growing total collection contains 260,000 volumes, 168,298 microfilms, a Texas State Documents Collection, curriculum materials, and a Prairie View A M Archival Collection. Over 1,976 periodicals and other serials are currently received by the library. However, the building itself has not grown with the materials accumulated and a new grand library with five stories is being constructed and is scheduled to open in 1988. 103 LYCEUM SERIES There is more to education than books and classroom time. Education is knowing what is going on in the past, present, and what will be. Prairie View offers this type of incentive. Just take a look at the special events and the special speakers who shared a piece of their knowledge with us. Ambassador Valeriano Ferrao An ambassador from Mozambique, Africa visited in the Fall of ’86 and discussed African issues that concern us and the world. Dr. Joseph Lowery Dr. Ix wery, President of Southern Christian Leadership exhibited a conference in the Spring of ’86. He is the successor to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in making the dream a reality. 104 Academics Actor Art Evans Evans, a film actor, visited in the Fall of ’85 and talked about what it takes to become a professional actor. Barbara Conrad Ms. Conrad, a mezzo-soprano, and former Prairie View student, performed a recital in Spring of ’87. Academics 105 Mary E. Carnegie Dr. Carnegie, author of “The Path we Tread”, gave a presentation in the Spring of ’87 concerning blacks in nursing. Department of Mass Communications The Department of Communications stresses the attainment of a liberal arts background, the acquisition of specific language and communication skills, and the mastery of specific media techniques. Its objectives are to prepare students for a broad group of careers in the communications industry and to provide communication services as a public service to rural, suburban, and inner-city communities. Above: Dr. Robert Gilmore; Speech Communication Instructor Above: Diana Pallia: Communication Instructor KPVU-FM Staff and student staff work together in the studio. The music library is updated regularly and KPVU programming is flexible enough to allow student disc jockeys to spin a wide variety of sounds. KPVU-FM-91.3 The Department of Mohs Communication was established at Priaric View A M University in September. 197-1 as a four-year degree granting program. The department offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Com-munication with concentration in journalism, radio and television, and an interdisciplinary option in marketing, advertising, public relations and electronics technology. The Department of Mass Communications is administered in the College of Arts and Sciences. Administrative offices, classrooms, laboratories and broadcast studios are housed in the Hilliard Hall Communications Center.

The picture will be used for recruitment purposes by different university departments. In other words, we are gening a great deal of mileage from an event that required a few hours of the campus members' time and those hours were even enjoyable.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING DID YOU KNOW ... ? • The College of Engineering currently graduates more black engineers than any of the nation's 307 colleges and universities offering engineering. • It graduates more black engineers than all other Texas engineering schools combined. • Potential employers coming to PVAMU to hire engineers far outnumber our engineering graduates. • PVAMU has one of six Engineering Materials Testing Centers in the State of Texas. • PVAMU was one of thirty schools identified in a report by Terry Connolly and Alan Porter of the Georgia Institute of Technology as most successful in attracting women in engineering. • The Benjamin Banneker Honors College at PVAMU would expand the Connolly-Porter study by implementing several of its recommendations for women engineering students and by extending the suggested enhancements to women biology students.

The interest shown by the other colleges inspired an almost immediate expansion into a national organization. Within seven years chapters had been established In the Middle West, and by I9'I3 three campuses of the University of California had formed chapters. In 1957 the National President of lire Society persuaded President F:ser. hower to proclaim National Foreign Language Week, to be sponsored by Alpha Mu Gamma. Each succeeding President of the United States has contributor! a message of endorsement of the V cck. This annual celebration, accompanied by tire nationwide distribution of posters and other materials and many programs both on and off college campuses, has led to a much more rapid growth of the Society in all parts of the nation, culminating in the granting of tire two hundredth charter in April, 1973. The National Executive Council of Alpha Mu Gamma has been expanded to include twelve vice-presidents chosen to represent all areas of the nation and a large number of student representatives providing a similar wide representation. Recent presidents have been chosen from New York, Tennessee, and California. In line with this trend, recent conventions have been held in Chicago, Illinois; Albany, New York; and Monterey, California. 152 Organizations Eunice Carpenter, Assis.

A Special Thanks To ... Pedro Rios Roger I). Taylor Otha G. Ellis Lance James Kevin Millner Anthony Barber Tracy Tillar Cathy Tezeno Mona Herring Larry Galdeano Ann Smith David D. Jefferson The job of working on a yearbook involves some fun, some creativity and a lot of hard work. There are numerous deadlines to Ik- met, hundreds of photographs to be taken and many hours of writing and editing enroute to the finished pr« duct. The most important process of making a ytarbook is the designing of a layout. The layout is the foundation of the yearbook; it sets the pages for the pictures, advertisements and stories throughout the book. Designing a yearbook layout involves three major steps: the mini rough draft, the r« ugh draft and the final copy also known as the triplicate. The mini rough draft consists of rough ideas on how photographs, copy and art -work are to be arranged on a page in the yearbook. It is a condensed sheet of graph paper on which a staff member gathers and illustrates ideas. The mini sheet is too small to place items in order to see how it will look, but the sheets are numbered the same as the rough and final layout sheets. This ensures that no major adjustments are needed when the later stages of the layout are processed. The rough layout is much the same as the mini rough layout. The only difference Is that the rough copy sheet is the same size as the nctual yearlmok page. The ideas from the mini sheets are then transferred onto the rough copy sheets. The sketches now can Ik sized up along with the photographs, artwork and other copy for an accurate depiction of what the page will look like. The rough layout should Ik done as neatly a possible because it is the last chance to work out the bugs before it is put on the final layout sheets. The final copy or triplicate is the culmination of the layout design. The layout design is carefully sketched out in ink onto the special carbon made triplicate. The copy is typed on copy sheets and all of the headings are set in place and the photographs are cropped to fit precisely where they are going to Ik placed in the book. The layouts are then ready to Ik sent off to the publisher and the finished product can be manufactured. The complexity of the yeurlKtok has gone unappreciated. It takes countless hours of hard work to put u yearbook together. Kach page in the yearhwk must go through this step by step process. The organization of workers, staff and photographers is enough to make it an 8 hour a day. 5 day a week job. Usually the work is done by students after classes and at the wee hours of the night. Maybe now you can see that the yearbook is not just one of those extra curricular activities, but a major job. Also to Y.O.U. students ... Nikkia Scott and Lawrence Johnson Organizations 161 s4ctvc4 i: D. (fac tew To the members of the Prairie View Family and friends this dual (“PARDUS”) is most humbly dedicated. First of all the production of this yearbook was a labor of love. Its contents and character were conceived, planned and developed by the students. Every page contained herein was constructed by members of the student yearbook staff. The “look” is one of “Double Vision,” a reflection of our spirited beginnings and a record of our current endeavors. The following people deserve singular thanks for striving towards excellence: To the Editor, Angela Christine Wilson, for committing herself to long hours of research and seemingly untiring days of devotion. To the Editor, Monica Hinton, for persevering in the midst of change, for unselfish labor in our hour of need and for standing as a stalwart leader against the storm. To the Co-editor - Dee Dee and her able assistant Mike - a dynamic duo who practiced the principles of mutual support. They transcended the requirements of the tasks assigned and would settle for nothing less than success as an end; a beginning. And last, but certainly not least, to Mrs. Joyce Nigh, for her resourcefulness and unselfish cooperation. The deeds are done, the activities are complete. In time, only the spirit and memories of those that have passed this way during the years 1985-1987 will remain. You now have before you the essence of this spirit and the seeds of these memories documented for the record. Cherish and enjoy.

Named the Centennial, the sculpture was designed by Richard Hunt, an internationally recognized sculptor. It is the only work of art by Hunt in Texas. The sculpture is made of Corten Steel, which varies in tone due to the time it has been rusting as well as to the handling of fabrication. The sculpture was sandblasted within the first four weeks, and uniform oxidation followed. In about two years, when oxidation is finished the sculpture should have a rich brown color. 192 Campus Candids OWENS-FRANKLIN HEALTH CENTER The Owens-Franklin Health Center is practically the urban hospital in its most compact and economic form.

The combined facilities have a gross area of 86,026 square feet and a valuation of. $5,688,699. The new addition has 63,218 square feet, of which about 70 percent is actual work space. Its construction cost was $3,530,500. In designing the new structure, the College of Engineering focused on nurturing the students' personal, social, cultural, and intellectual growth as it relates to professional development. To do this, they incorporated spaces for student groupings, informal conversation areas, and areas for study or contemplation. The Student Commons, the open Atrium linking the original to the new building, and the glass-walled terrace opening to the Atrium provide a learning environment while they function as circulation and holding areas. The design,, too, assures that the engineering students will not have to go to external campus facilities for instruction-practically everything needed is inside the engineering center. Special areas are the Engineering Technical Library; the Engineering Computation Center, which will carry a PDP-11 E-mini-computer and a 3780 terminal access to the central Amdahl 880, located at the Texas A M University System headquarters; the Central Engineering Administration, which includes a conference; Departmental Administration; Laboratory Instruction; and Seminar Center. The engineering laboratories account for 42,673 square feet of net assignable area. The new architecture laboratory has 10,779 square feet. Campus Candids 195 Homecoming ’86 A future P.V. drum major?

As the school expanded, so did the teaching of Military Science. An ROTC unit was organized in December. 1918. Under this program all qualified male students who completed four years of military training were eligible for commissions in the Reserve Officers Corps if they passed stringent oral and written examinations. Most applicants were denied commissions. The majority of ROTC graduates served as Noncommissioned Officers in the Enlisted Reserves. In 1943. Prairie View A M College's ROTC unit was redesignated as a Senior Division Unit. Infantry Branch. Students who satisfied the requirements of on campus Military Science instruction, completed Summer Training Camp, and qualified for a degree, were commissioned in the grade of Second Lieutenant, Infantry, U.S. Army Reserve. Cadets who had distinguished themselves, both academically and in leadership positions received Regular Army Commissions. The first graduates of this new unit were commissioned in 1947. Seven years later, this University converted to the General Military Science Curriculum, thus allowing students to qualify for commissions in any of the Army's sixteen branches. A General Military Science Curriculum has been in effect since February. 1954. Adoption of the Modified General Military Science Curriculum for Advanced Course students was implemented beginning with the Fall Semester of School Year 1960-61. However, beginning with SY 1965-66 the Regular GMS Curriculum was adopted for all ROTC instruction. Women students became eligible for participation in Army ROTC during SY 1975-76. The first women to be commissioned as U.S. Army Officers through the PVA and MU ROTC program were commissioned during SY 1977-78. !« 'a p I 208 Organizations ‘KO'?e “7%.

Ton no and 223 ‘Pa'ietcM Intercollegiate athletics was well sanctioned at Prairie View by 1908. Football and baseball were the first sports that PVAMU played against other colleges. W. P. Terrell was the first football coach, records show. His father, I. M. Terrell, later became principal of Prairie View. The students and faculty were very interested in a sports program. However, things were somewhat irregular until 1919 when H. B. Hucles became the full-time coach. Basketball was next introduced and in those days, weather permitting, ball was played outside on dirt courts. At times the notorious Texas weather required games to be played in dining halls where poles from floor to ceiling added an extra challenge to the competitions. A man named C. W. Lewis organized the only trap shooting club established at PVU. He also coached basketball and tennis in the early decades of this century. The title of the “Father of Tennis, in the Negro schools of the Southwest went to Mr. Lewis. Sam Taylor was said to be a hard taskmaster but he was also popular and referred to as the “Father of Track. W. J. Nicks was, of course, the most noted and successful football coach. Leroy Moore was his assistant, but he was also the most successful basketball coach. Most travel to games by teams and fans in those days was done by rail. Sometimes special trains were needed to run from and to specific places.----- On a Sunday morning, September, 1920 the Southwest Athletic Conference came into being at a meeting held at the old Oriental Hotel in Houston by representatives of the “Big Five:” Bishop, Wiley, Samuel Huston. Paul Quinn and Prairie View. They established policies for football and baseball, later basketball, and after a few years track, tennis, golf and swimming. No history of sports at Prairie View is complete without a tribute to Abner Davis. The football star died just eight days after receiving a paralyzing spinal injury in a game against Texas College in Tyler on November 4, 1927. The monument to him still stands in the center of the campus. This section is dedicated in his memory and in honor of the blood, sweat and tears of those who blazed the trail,” of athletics at Prairie View.

Coach Conway Hayman is one such man. He has accepted the challenge and met it m rare form. Coach Hayman entered the program Sept. 21. 1931. as an offensive line coach. The head coach at that time was Cornelius Cooper. On January 16. 1934. Hayman took ova at the helm as head football coach. Coach Hayman said. The program at that point had a lack of commitment and dedication to making an etccllent football program. There was a shortage of: talent money, and positive spirit. He also stated that the program was misdirected. For example, he noticed that there was too high of an athlete turnover, in short, many wae failing: such that they wae unable to remain in school. As a result, a new team was formed almost annually. Secondly, the lack of attention given to Khicving excellence as athletes, students, and citizens was not being emphasized Lastly . and of the greatest importance was the fact that the players had no real identification with PVs football history. This consensus among the players resulted in their hasing lack of coofidcncc. they were non-competitive and had no discipline. Since that time Coach Hay man has initiated many new enhancement programs for his players. They have a mandatory study table which meets two hours a night and four nights a week. During this time they study diligently and prepare for their weekly classes. In addition to the study table, they have personalized sessions during the day which coincide with the free time they have between classes Consequently, the Panthers now have more players on the Dean's list than in the past 10 to IS years. This a attributed to the new emphasis he has placed on graduating. Coach Hayman said. These players have come to this institution to cam degrees and become constructive citizens, nor just to play sports Life does go on after fooball. this is what 1 try to instill. He also incorporated a very intense, highly structured, weight program. It is designed to enhance the strength, speed and agility of his players. Because of this program. Prairie View has had more players recognized on all-conferencc teams than eva before. Coach Hayman. being a nun of severe modesty, attributes the strength of the aiMcoc department to Mr. Bmtus Jackson. He insists that Mr. Jackson and his desire to enhance, and bring excellence back to PV s athletics is the driving force behind the system. CowcnHaymantodhWP� r h r� toa 24-19 upsat victory ovar Grarrtolksg Stata Unlwrty. Coach Hayman would like to enlist more support from the alumni. He would also like to recruit more football players from the state of Texas as he feels there ts superb talent right here «n our slate. He has a simple philosopy in life which is: Neva Say Die. Always Dnve On . Coach (laymans hobbies are reading, wnting. and math He is aho a professor of History here at the university, and says that he enjoys teaching just as much as coaching. He would one day like to achieve 'Teacher of The Year Status. In short. Coach Conway Hayman is a man of many talents. He is jovial, loyal, and above all, concerned with the needs of his players and those around him. He is an asset to this university . 'tyeasia Hall of Fame picks Essie Kelley A former Prairie View A M track star will be inducted into the Drake Relays Hall of Fame on April 25. Essie Kelly, who graduated from PVAMU in 1980. joins the ranks of the original 72 athletes named to the Hall of Fame, and the yearly additions since 1960. The Hall of Fame is located on the campus of Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. The slender girl who grew up chasing her brothers on the dusty plains of Spur, Texas, dominated the women’s track events at the first National Sports Festival in 1978. Kelly, a four - time All - SWAC and All -American runner, was also the first woman to carry the Olympic Torch at the National Sports Festival. Kelly racked up an impressive record of wins during her four years at Prairie View. As a junior, she ran in the Pan American Games in Puerto Rico, winning gold medals in the 800 meter run and the 4 X 4 relay, and setting a games record for the 800. The 1979 Drake Relays officials named Kelly the first women’s Most Outstanding Performer, and she recaptured that title in 1980. One of Kelly’s top achievements was winning the 800 meter national championship at the AAU finals in Walnut, California. In winning that championship, Kelly beat Olympic runners Mary Decker, Ruth Wysocki, and Robin Camp! 11. She went on to achieve a num.zer one ranking in the United States in the 800 meters and make the top ten list in the world for the 1979 season. While competing for Prairie View. Kelly won numerous individual and relay championships in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, including seven titles in the 800 meters and three in the 1000 meters. In the final conference race of her collegiate career, Kelly came up with what Prairie View womens track coach Barbara Jacket calls ‘one of the most outstanding in- dividual efforts she has ever seen. In that race, Prairie View's third runner dropped the baton, putting the Pantherettes 165 yards behind Kelly, running the anchor leg, made up the almost impossible distance, catching the opposing runner near the tape to give Prairie View the win. That performance, and others during her college career, prompted sportswriters to describe Kelly as ‘the little girl with the big heart.’ Six years after graduating from the ranks of college runners, Kelly is still burning up the track A physical education teacher in San Antonio, she still runs competitively, and recently won the 800 meters at the Texas Southern Relays Invitational with a time of 2:04.1. That victory, according to Jacket is no surprise, because Kelly is stil what she was all during her college career--‘‘a great competitor. “The primary purpose for students attending Prairie View A M University must be to pursue an academic goal.
