Eze S T,gj'5 'r- l .. -g gf -l' ,,,fjd i , V' Friendship is a Priceless Gift That cannot be bought or sold, But its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold. For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear And in the time of trouble it is powerless to cheer. It has no ears to listen, no heart to understandg It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a Gift, be grateful if he sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches, but the love of real true friends. Helen Steiner Rice 108 In Memoriam I I JAzz FORUM AT s.s.C. Dr. Billy Taylor, world renowned jazz musician and musicologist makes a grand performance for his many fans at Savannah State College dur- ing the Humaniora: A Celebration of the Humanities. This grand event was held in Kennedy Fine Arts Auditorium and was sponsored by the De- partment of Humanities and Fine Arts. During his visit, Dr. Taylor brought the rich tone ofjazz to the height of our attention. One of his many renditions was a simple tune called Three Blind Mice, which was transposed into 3 different Jazz forms: Swing, Ragtime, and Blues. While traveling, Dr. Taylor visits many campuses to set up music workshops for those students who have a special interest in the 6'HOT sound of COOL JAZZ.

Rayburn Dr. Wendell Rayburn, president of SSC for seven years, said he is notjumping ship or leaving SSC at the insistence of the National Alumni Association. In an interview in his office, Rayburn said he resigned as President of SSC because he had achieved all of his objectives and felt it was time for a career change. Rayburn announced his resignation November 2 before the faculty, staff, and ad- ministration of Savannah State. He had accepted the position of President at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri. Citing construction of a new business building, the implementation of the Masters of Public Administration Program, and a 7.6 percent enrollment increase, Rayburn said he chose this time to leave because the College is on the road to recovery. Last year the National Alumni Association demanded that Rayburn turn in his resignation. Rayburn said if they were the reason for his resignation, I would have been gone long ago. The NAA and the Administration have come together with a greater understanding of our roles, he said. SSC has greater Alumni support now, and they are trying to help the college achieve its goals. They demonstrated this support with the solidarity march on Homecoming Day. Rayburn described himselfas an agent of change. He said he had done all he could at SSC and would move on to Lincoln University to change the problems which plague the College. Dr. Rayburn's resignation was effective January 31, 1988.

The seed that was sown blossomed as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, the first Greek letter organization formed for young women. The Sorority was incorporated on January 29, 1913. Alpha Kappa Alpha, a sorority with high scholastic and ethical standards, has grown from one undergraduate chapter to international acclaim with over 80,000 members world- wide. Gamma Upsilon Chapter was established at Savannah State College in September of 1949. Today, the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha are working vigorously to uphold the illustrious and prestigious image ofthe sorority. The sorors initiated a canned-goods food drive to assist the needy, they also contributed to the United Negro College Fund and participated in the March of Dimes Walk-A-Thon. Currently, the sorority is planning other ambitious civic-oriented projects to assist the homeless. The sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha are committed to promoting a positive image for their community, and the never wavering flame will continue to be a shining light in the darkest hour for all to SCC.

In 1913 at Howard University, 22 strong-willed young black women envisioned and founded an organization pledged to serious endeavors, scholarship, and public service to mankind. On these principles, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. was founded. Striving to uphold the image of love and public service to mankind, the women of Delta Nu chapter have conducted programs and raised funds which have benefitted the community and Savannah State College. The members of Delta Nu chapter engage in various public service activities, including visits to Chatham Nursing Home, Georgia Regional Hospital, and the Ronald McDonald House. They also sponsor baby showers for unwed mothers at Florence Crittendon Home. Blood Drives and Canned Food drives are traditional service projects conducted by the ladies of Delta Nu.

In the beginning God created man . . . He pondered dn howto define the perfect complete man. In the year 1906 on the mystical and prestigious campus of Cornell University, His prayers were answered. Seven wise young men descended from the heavens to formulate Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the First Greek-Letter Organiza- tion for Afro-Americans. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated, since 1908, has prospered for 82 glorious years. The fraternity has achieved legendary and global acclaim. With prestigious brothers such as Martin Luther King, Jesse Owens, Thurgood Marshall, and others just to name a few, Alpha Phi Alpha is truly the fraternity of the men of distinction. Delta Eta Chapter, established in 1949, has kept alive the strong traditions of the fraternity and has been true to the motto First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All. Delta Eta has made a strong commitment to making a positive contribu- tion within the community, implementing innovative programs such as the grandparents' program, the exceptional children sponsorships at Moses Jackson Elementary School and Georgia Regional Hospital, the College Blood Drive, and Food drives for the homeless. The Sphinx and the Pyramids ofGiza are the symbols of the fraternity. Alpha Phi Alpha will continue to endure the test of time. The torch ofknowledge, integrity, and scholarship will continue to shine and forever be an ever blinding light for all to see. JILL ASTWOOD was chosen as Miss Delta Eta '87-88.

Gamma Chi Chapter has participated in several community projects. These projects have included contributions to the United Negro College Fund, visits to the safe shelter home, and donations to the March of Dimes Walkathon. In addition to making significant contributions within the community, the brothers have also implemented a tutorial service for campus students.

For those who encounter difficulty with classwork, the Club may be inspirational in encouraging a different approach toward civil engineering. In addition, contact and socializing with professors and professional engineers are important aspects of the student's development. The ASCE allows members to mature to their professional status more rapidly, by providing support to augment the education programs for the development of professional autonomy.

It seeks to encourage scholarly attainment in this field of learning by reserving its active membership for those who achieve superior academic records and who indicate special aptitude for and major inter- est in the life sciences. It desires to cultivate intel- lectual interest in the natural sciences and to pro- mote a better appreciation of the value of biologi- cal study and thus welcomes into associate membership all those students who are interested in biology. Tri-Beta endeavors, also, to extend the boundaries of man's knowledge of nature by en- couraging new discoveries through scientific in- vestigation, and to this end, it encourages under- graduate students to begin research work and report their findings in the journal of the society, BIOS. It emphasizes, therefore, a three-fold pro- gram: stimulation of scholarship, dissemination of scientific knowledge, and promotion of biology research.

The SSC Lady Tigers basketball team rolled to two convincing victories: one over Benedict College 76- 54 and one over Armstrong State 81-48. Benedict College came in the Savannah looking to hand SSC another SIAC defeat, but the SSC Ladies, with the 28 points from Tunja McClendon, turned BC back. SSC had a 35-27 half-time lead over Benedict then outscored them 41-27 in the second half. Against Armstrong State, McClendon had another good night scoring 24 points, but teammates Patricia Gaskin and Pamela I-Iurt were also sizzling. Gaskin scored 15 first half points and Hurt scored 14 lead- ing the Lady Tigers to a 40-22 half-time lead. From there the Lady Tigers coasted to an 81-48 victory. 'Photos by Randy Tharpe .',.- V916 f' 1 V Basketball is the kind of game that brings potential excitement with each play. The overall team speed was excellent and perimeter shooters can shoot as well as anyone. Rebounding was their only weakness. The team spent lots of time working on blocking, positioning and good shot selection. There was a good blend of youth and experience on the squad. Goals this year included building a program that would be competitive and instill pride in Savannah State College fans, faculty, staff, Alumni and students. Any goal not attained this year will certainly be a top priority next year.

I Each year these events grow bigger and better. There are always some surprises in store for the student body. The Spotlight 88 now shines on the people that have brought information, entertainment, and inspiration to our lives. Novembner 20. 1987 marked the lirst an- nual Savannah State College Founders Day. This celebration was initiated by the Centennial Celebration Committee and launched as the first activity toward the 1990 Centennial Celebration by the Col- lege. Dr. Samuel Lloyd Myers, President of the National Association for Equal Oppor- tunity in Higher Education LNAFEOQ, was the keynote speaker. The Muslims, under the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, are fighting for the past, present, and future enlighten- ment of the black race. One of the most scrupulous activists in the Muslim sect is Minnister Louis Farrakhan. This contro- versial prophet travels the world preaching on the political. economic, and social plight of black people, The message of economic self-sufficiency and intellectual awareness was brought to Savannah State College by the national spokesman of Minister Farrak- han, Dr. Khallid Abdul Muhammad. Derrick Johnson, a young energetic leader in the black community and Executive Di- rector of Project Genesis, a local communi- ty service group, was the guest speaker dur- ing the M.L. King Day celebration. which was held in Kennedy Auditorium. Mr. Johnson dazzled the crowd with a fiery speech on the topic of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and the state of Black Amer- ICB. The Campus is undergoing exten- sive surgery as SSC moves into a New Era. Two new buildings are be- ing constructed to handle the ever growing need ofthe Students. The School of Business will be housed in a new facility next to Helen A. Whiting Hall, and The School of Sciences and Technologies will ac- quire a new Wet Laboratory for the Marine Biology Department adja- cent to Bowen-Smith Hall. Both fa- cilities are planned for completion during the Fall ol' '88. I ..sftmtee4igee -1,1 hump, Q., .l,1,x,1p,i,l Q. ,lppp t ig '-hH'l't 'a' , . T 4 ,.
