INSIDE THIS ISSUE: News Page 2 Sports Page 3 Features Page 4 �Page 2 The Panther NEWS Fall Honors assembly held Dr. Myer L . Titus Presidential Message Thanksgiving is always a special holiday for me. This is the time of year for reflection and a show of gratitude. I pause to reflect over my lifetime of accomplishments and my failures; I take a probing, introspective journey into my heart and mind to measure my emotional growth as an individual. It is a time when I look around me and hope I have somehow used this growth and wisdom I have acquired throughout the years, to help my fellow man. If, for some reason, I examine myself and find I am falling short in my contributions to others, I know it is time to initiate a change; a change to better myself and, thereby, better my position in life. In deep appreciation, and with sincere gratitude, I realize how fortunate I am to be here. I am still a participant in the game of life, and I still have a chance to make a difference. I urge you, as students of Philander Smith College, to utilize this Thanksgiving to do some self-reflection of your own. Then look around you. Y o u won't have to look far to realize how lucky you are. I hope you will pause, look upward, and give thanks. Honors and tributes were doled out this month to Philander's scholastic creme of the crop. The Pi Sigma Kappa Chapter of the Alpha Kappa M u National Honor Society and the office of the Provost held the annual Fall Honors program. The salute cited students of the Dean's List and tapped outstanding scholars for induction into the National Honor Society. PSC president, Dr. Myer L . Titus was the featured speaker for the event. Music for the special ceremony was provided by the Central High School Choir. Four scholars were inducted into Alpha Kappa Mu. They are: NovaD. Goosby, Althea Henry, Linda Sims, and Myer G. Titus. Ten scholars received plaques for earning 4.0 grade averages this past spring. They are: Evelyn Allen, Caroline Faulkner, Vickie Ferguson, Carla Hicks, Wanda Keith, Tamidra Mason, Douglas Marks, Diedra Higgins, Delorce Williams, and Teresa Bradley. The Pi Sigma Kappa chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu was established at Philander in 1939. Eligibility requirements for induction are that students must have a cumulative average of at least 3.3 on a four-point scale and must have completed sixty hours of college credit. This year's program was coordinated by Mrs. Grace Edwards, a PSC associate professor of music. New Alumni Director named "It's great to be back School District. He has 39 home".

Seniors will furnish food baskets to these families so that they can prepare their o w n home-cooked meals for their loved ones. Beginning December 1, designated areas around the campus will be erected for students and the community to donate non-perishable food items. Anyone wishing to make a cash donation to help purchase turkeys or hams, should contact the senior class president, E v e l y n A l l e n , or Janice Wilson, chairperson for the Senior Class Food Drive, at 565-2186. Do your part and help make this a very special holiday season for others who are less fortunate than yourselves. November, 1990 Editorial by Diedra Levi There's a new breed of men on campus. They're totally tasteless, uncouth, vulgar, 1 o w -1 i f e , n unsanitary, scum buckets who pass for PSC students. These poor excuses for men fling urine and feces on the doorways of men in the dormitory they dislike. They imagine themselves to be the dormitory "Mafia". I suggest they try horse heads in beds like the scene from the movie, "The Godfather", instead of making the men's dormitory smell like the projects in Chicago. I believe there is a close relationship between the dorm "Mafia" and the guys who frequent the PSC breezeway. This area looks like a corner on 47th street in Chicago, where winos make fires in garbage cans and talk about what "the man" won't do for them. We wouldn't have this problem i f we were more selective about who is allowed to attend Philander. Rumor has it, PSC gets many social and academic rejects. The breezeway and dormitory "Mafia" prove it. We need to raise the required GPA, and shape up, or ship out some of these ruffians. This is a historical black college founded by former slaves who wanted an education. This is not a half-way house for people who couldn't find a job or whose parents were sick of them. Many people who attend or work at PSC care about our image. We need reform, folks.

Who are these "new kids on the block"? They are none other than the recently formed Covergirls Dance Team. Ten young ladies compose this talented dance troupe. Six of them are actual performers, while the other four provide a cohesiveness that helps to produce a polished, professional, dance ensemble. The dancers are: Shirley Brown (captain), Tanisha Fletcher and Joy Alexander (cocaptains), Glenda Edwards, Celeste Clark, and Tiffany Jackson. Stacy Manuel and Katrinka Zackery are production managers. Tracy Reliford is responsible for the dancer's ability to put their best faces forward. She serves as make-up artist for the group. Ms. JoAnn Alexander is sponsor of the Covergirls. "We have routines and steps that are sure to impress," Alexander said. "We practice hard to present as flawless a performance as possible to our audience." Alexander said the troupe's aim is multi-faceted. "We not only want to be eye-catching during halftime entertainment for sports activities; we want to project a prize-winning attitude and demeanor to other dancers out there," Alexander said. "We can compete with the best of them (dancers) today." Qualifications to become Covergirls are that they must maintain a 2.0 grade average, be in good physical condition, in order to keep up with the grueling practice sessions, and be able to get along with others. Try outs are held the beginning of each semester. Dancers are then added to the troupe only i f they meet the standards of a Covergirl. You can see the Covergirls perform at any Men's or Women's basketball game this year. Go and show your support for this new addition to the PSC campus. June Rodgers, 1990-1991 PSC Homecoming Queen Homecoming Week a cause for celebration Green and gold could be seen all around campus more than usual this month. That's because Philanderians from near and far came home to their Alma Mater to celebrate Homecoming Week, November 8-12. The festivities got underway with a luncheon in the PSC cafeteria. In an effort to urge alumni to show their spirit for the occasion, they were urged to wear green and join the students for their noon time meal. The next day alumni were again invited to lunch with the students, but this time they were requested to wear gold. Seeing the school's colors in such abundance set the tone for both students and alumni for the Miss Biker's Shorts Contest, featuring the Pantherettes, and the Weiner and Marshmallow Roast and Bonfire that followed the next day. Homecoming Week culminated in a Pep Rally and Greek performance in the Panther Dome. The guest musicians for the event was the Central High School Jazz Band, under the direction of Mr. Duane Barbara. The rally and performances served as prerequisites to two basketball games that night. The men's and women's basketball teams hit the courts for shoot outs with Arkansas Tech University and the University of Central Arkansas, respectively. A l though the outcome of the games were somewhat disappointing, it was the spirit of the of the occasion that made the entire day special.

Part of the reason could be the support they are beginning to receive from the students and community. Philanderians now come to the games in larger numbers and wear green and gold to boast their school spirit. And speaking of spirit, this year's group of cheerleaders make the rafters shake from the cheers they perform for the players on the court. A l l this support has made an obvious difference in the team. "Their overall scoring ability is better this year," Hilton Chandler, the girl's basketball coach said. The Lady Panthers received a "devastating" blows earlier this year when two crucial players were benched because of injuries. Selita Fair, noted for her rebounding and shooting ability, and Lahoma Alexander's agility, have been missed by the team. "The most important thing the team needs to work on is man-to-man defense," said Debbie Harris, Captain of the team. " I am w o r k i n g harder on my shooting and rebounding this season to try and accomplish a tougher defense." Harris considers herself a positive role model for the team and urges the team to be more competitive. The next game for the Lady Panthers is Nov. 26, at the University of Ozark in Clarksville. �The Panther Page 4 November, 1990 FEATURES Miss Gillum comes home Lee Anthony stands in front of the old entrance to his business.
