The Tradition Continues A proud tradition for TSU is its national championship sports teams. The success of our whole athletic program has resulted in enhanced school spirit and support of the teams. In this year alone, both the baseball team and the football team held their respective NCAA Division II national titles. In additon, the basketball team made it to the final four in competition for a naional trophy, being ranked in the final polls as fourth in the nation. To com- plement these successess, the athletic facilities have been improved to state-of- the art quality, with comple- tion of the R. Douglas Haw- kins Press Box and the base- ball complex at Pace Field.

Trojan: a title every stu- dent wears with pride. The students of TSU are as differ- ent as can be. They have varying preferences, inter- ests, goals, and dreams. In a sense TSU is a microcosm of the melting pot for which our country is known. The students come from all over the world and nation to a quiet part of southeast Ala- bama to exchange ideas and further the understanding of each other. A TSU student not only faces the task of striving for the best in academic sta nd- ing, but also of learning the all-important lessons of good citizenship and social re- sponsibility. Sounds pretty awesome, but for most TSU students, this is regarded more as play than work.
