M i x PSC, Roshunda Miller
I PSC took a journey to
(ancient Africa at the
23rd Annual Coronation and Ball on Saturd a y October 26,1991 in
ithe College Dining
j Hall. The theme of this
year's Coronation and
Ball was "Perceptions
of Ancient Africa."
I Master of Ceremony,
Mr. Stephen L. Hayes
and Mistress of Ceremony, Mrs. Clare Alale
guided attendants of the Coronation and Ball
through the journey back to ancient Africa. In
tradition of all African events, libation (blessing of
the occasion) was given by Mr. Zinse Agginie.
Then the journey began. PSC students displayed
the many types of African braids and comrows
that African culture is famous for. The Igwue
Dancers and Company performed an authentic
African dance. PSC was later exposed to aspects
of ancient African life such as themulitpuropse use
of the wrap, the masquerade, and the events at the
marketplace. Finally, there was the parade of the
reining queens and theirescorts. The queens were
adorned in beautiful African attire. The event of
the evening was the coronation of the campus
queen, Roshunda Miller, and her court, Delorce
Williams and Cassandra Walker. The celebration
began with highlife, (festive African music and
dance), started by Miss PSC and Dr.MyerL. Titus,
PSC President. This year's Coronation and Ball,
the first Afrocentric since the 197CS, was an
evening that celebrated African culture and
queens from the past and our own queens here at
PSC.

MESSAGE TO THE
BLACK M A N
It is knowledge of self
that we lack which
keeps us from enjoying
freedom, justice, and
equality. This belongs
to us divinely as much
as it does the other
nations of the earth.
Love yourself and your
kind. Let us refrain
from doing evil to each
other, and let us love
each other as brothers,
as we are the same
flesh and blood. In this
way, you and I won't
have any trouble in
uniting. It is a fool who
does not love himself
and his people.

About 150 term-bills

graduate of Philander Smith and Mr. Ed Evans
who is currently a disc jockey in Kansas City,
Missouri. The show began with a production
number show casing the contestant's physiques,
followed by casual attire, oratorical, talent, formal wear and question and answer segments.
Each contestant gave an outstanding account of
themselves. In the talent segment, Dontae Smith
performed a dramatic reading; Terry Esper did a
sign language dramatic interpretation; John
McAllister performed an original rap and Kevin
Williamson gave his rendition of a popular dramatic reading.
The outgoing Mr. Esquire, Darius Nelson thrilled
the audience with a musical selection and later
recounted his year in the position. Darius who is
a junior plans to teach at the secondary level.
The judges for the event were Mrs. Mary Wilson,
Mrs. Joyce Benton, Ms. Kathy Gaines and Mr.
George Bryant. Mrs. Lovie Wyatt served as the
score accountant for the event. As the night
progressed it was evident that the judges job
would not be easy. Each contestant was very
talented.
As the star studded evening drew to a close it was
time for the judges to select a winner. The Mr.
Brotherhood award which was voted on by the
contestants went to Terry Esper. The third runner-up was John McAllister, second runner-up
went to Dontae Smith, Kevin Williamson was
selected first runner-up and the title went to Terry
Esper. This marked the third consecutive year
that a member of the Collegiate Choir won the
title. What are you up to Mr. Hayes? Terry was
very surprised, it was a very special moment to
see the expression on his face when Dean of
Students Vernon Lane announced the winner.

of Ms. Kenner-Vamer's speech was the changing
workforceandworkforcediversity. She informed
the PSC audience that organizations want work
force diversity to work because they realize that
80% of the net new entrance will be minorities,
women, and people of color. Ms. Kenner-Varner
went on to say by the year 2000 , 40% of the work
force will be women. Organizations realize work
force diversity is inevitable. This is why they are
making adaptations now to prevent problems of
productivity in the work place. Ms. KennerVarner urged students to sharpen their talents.
"The doors have been opened by your predecessors whom have struggled. Develop your skills.
Develop you God given talents." Later that day
BEEP executives visited classes. Theresa Stewart
told students, "You have to be ready and willing
to take that opportunity when it comes." Ms.
Kenner-Varner told students the three keys to
success are, "talent, image, and exposure."
OnNovemberl5,1991 the executives continued to
share their business experience and expertise with
students during visits to morning classes. In the
Student Union, students were given a chance to ask
the panel of executives questions. BEEPexecuti ves
shared with students the qualities they look for in
applicants. Most executives stressed good grades.
Sheila Washington told students that applicants
must have at least a cumulative 35 GPA to be
seriously considered by her company. Reggie
England gave a presentation on guide lines for
interviewing. Finally, students were able to talk
with the executives one-on-one. BEEP was a very
informative seminar that gave PSC students an
insight on the skills they need to sharpen and
develop to be successful in the corporate world.

THE COLOR WAR
Light - dark. High yellow - tarbaby. Blackie redbone. These are just a few names we use to
refer to the color of our skin. They aren't just
names. There are meanings and perceptions
behind those names. For years we have allowed
the wide spectrum of our skin tones to divide us.
We have declared war on each other - the color
war.
The color of our skin has proved to be a subject
of disputeforwhatseemstobeeternity. Whyare
we so color conscious? We live in a society that
places great value on beauty. That standard of
beauty is set by persons having ideals of beauty
that do not include the features and attributes of
people of color. In our community wedidatone
time think of persons having light complexions
to be more attractive than those that are darker.
Then with Black consciousness, Black power,
Blackprideand theunity we had throughoutthe
Civil Rights Movement we realized that Black is
Black and Black is beautiful, regardless of the
shade. One'sallegianceto the Black race, ortheir
beauty, was not an issue because of the color of
theirskin. Now that is not the case. Itseemswith
the social and political regression our society has
experienced with the \98ffs, we have regressed
as well. We have regressed back to the old
idiotic, ignorant ideology that enables us to
discriminate against our own people. The resurfacing of that old ideology has also resurfaced
old myths with it. You know the ones. Dark
complexed people are insecure about their complexion. Light complexed people think they're
superior. The blacker the berry the sweeter the
juice. The lighter the color the more to discover.
The list continues. So does the pain. The most
innocent victims in the color war are our children. Dr. Cornelia P. Porter, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of
Nursing conducted a study that discovered
among children dark skin is generally considered lessdesirable than light skin. Dr. Porter also
asked questions of 98 African American children ages 6 to 13 from urban areas about imaginary children who were unhappy with theirskin
color. The children were shown a display of six
skin tones from dark to light- The children
overwhelmingly found dark brown skin to be
the least desirable in color. Our children are
bombarded with messages from the media that
are subtly telling them they are inferior. Dr.
Robert L.Douglas, associate professor and chair
of the Pan African Studies Department at the
University of Louisville stated, "those who are
less conscious are more likely to be inundated
N O V E M B E R , 1991
with by other people's cultural views." Dr. Porter's
study confirms this. While our children are being
bombarded with the positive media perceptions of
white people and people with light complexions,
and negative perceptions of people with dark skin,
children are developing feelings of inferiority toward themselves ami their race.
We must raise the consciousness of our children and
teach them to appreciate all aspects of their heritage.
We must learn to appreciate our wide spectrum of
Blackness. We live i n a Eurocentric society.
Eurocentric standards of beauty reiterate European
features and attributes. We must realize that we are
not Europeans and we cannot govern what is and
what is not beautiful in our community by their
standards. We must erase the myths we have so
ignorantly placed uponone another, and look at each
person as individuals and not a product of old
stereotypes. We must also realize the things we say
to one another and the way we treat one another
because of the color of our skin, is painful. The cruel
names I have been called by other brothers and
sisters that refer to my skin color are now etched in
my mind forever. Even though I have forgiven those
tha t made the comments tha t made me self consciou s
of my skin tone and my hair, the pain will always
remain. We must not define Blackness by our varying skin tones. It is estimated that 80% of us have
polygenetic backgrounds, so no one canridiculeone
another. Whether brown skinned or fair skinned we
all live in a racist society, and all of us are subject to
discrimination for being Black.
All of us are casualties in the color war. Every one
experiencespain. This madness must end. Theharsh
comments are not just flesh wounds that can easily
heal. Lef s call a truce now and end the color war
before too many more painful wounds are inflicted.

FEATURES
Time to Sharpen Your Study Skills
During the two years that I have been employed
with Philander Smith College I have researched
ways to enhance student success. I have devised,
revised and advised academic survival skills that
I believe will help students to do well in their
courses.
Many students, at first, find it difficult to believe
that they should modify their study procedures.
However, when the reality of failing grades and
ultimately the addition of their name to the less
than prestigious academic probation list hits them
hard in the face, they soon come to believe that
they need help. Often students seek help too late
in the semester, therefore it is extremely difficult
to unlearn poor study habits and replace those
habits with good, results-oriented college study
skills.
Two of my goals at PSC are to reduce rates of
student attrition, which sometimes is caused by
poor study habits, and to increase rates of student
success. I believe that student success can best be
measured by the individual student. That is, if a
student believes that he or she has achieved the
goals that he or she sets, then that student has
achieved success.
It is obvious that academic success begins in the
classroom, so it is extremely important that students go to class. Many students do notrealizethat
over 6 absences from a 3 semester hour course is
excessive. Surprised?
Also, students should listen carefully. Most of
what is learned in class comes through listening,
thus the need for active listening. Active listening
as opposed to passive listening means that the
student isattending to the information presented,
both physically and mentally. Passive listening is
mere hearing, and not processing the information
into something that is understandable.
If necessary, students should move closer to the
front of the classroom so they won't have any
trouble seeing, hearing or paying attention. One
should always focus on what the speaker is saying, not on the upcoming weekend, the sound of
the speaker's voice, the temperature of the room,
the fine "hunk" or the fine "honey" sitting next to
them. I'm sure that these subjects will not beon the
next exam. Evaluate what is heard by thinking
about what the speaker's words mean and how
they relate to what is already known about the
subject.
Another part of listening is to take notes, since
human beings retain only about 25% of what we
hear. Also, good students ask questions in class,
especially about things they don't understand.
Students should not feel embarrassed or stupid
because chances are there is someone else in the
Page 5
room who doesri'f have a clue either, but is also afraid to speak up! it is riot
a good idea to take notes and not understand the meaning of what is written.
Thisisaredundantactionthatmanystudentsengagein,and this habitis hard
to break.
Good students also actively participate in class discussions. A l l students
should take advantage of the chance to express their opinions and test their
ideas, however, students must be prepared by completing any assigned
reading before class. And if one is prepared this will ease any anxiety about
speaking in class. Whenpartidpatinginclassdon'tdominatethediscussion.
Knowing when to listen is just as important as knowing when to speak,
of the students that I come in contact with state that, on average, they study
3-5 hours per week. These students usually seem surprised when I suggest
that they should be studying 24,28, or 32 hours per week. These numbers
are arrived at by multiplying the number of semester hours times two
because studies show that it takes at least two hours of preparation for every
semester hour of study. Thus 12 semester hours times 2 equals 24, etc.
Study time should be planned. And toe best way to effectively plan and
manage one's time is to self-monitor. Keep track of all activities in the daily
routine for one week. At the end of the week it will become evident where
the time has been spent. Once this is done students can see ho w quality study
time can be planned on a schedule. Most students are surprised at how much
time they actually spend doing "nothing" which usually translates into
"breeze way", card playing marathons, video games and BET (Yes, I'm down
with O.P.P.). Students will be happy to know that these activities are okay,
but only if included in a study and free time schedule, and if they do not
conflict with scheduled study time. Some tips on developing a study and free
time schedule include the following:
* Include on the schedule all regular activities such as classes, job,
meals, athletic practices, choir, club meetings, etc.
* Reserve time for sleep, exercise and recreation.
* Schedule review time for right after a lecture or right before a
discussion if you can. (that hour or two between classes spent doing
"nothing")
* Plan ahead for major projects and exams.
* Try to study the same subject at the same time each day.
* Take short breaks after every hour of study.
* Plan free time.
Where one studies is also important. Choose a well - lit place that is freeof
distractions. The library is an ideal place to study. But if the library cannot
be utilized, students should try to find another place that is conducive to
studying. Gather all needed items before beginning tostudy,and try to study
in the same place each day. Use that place for studying only. Students who
attempt to study in bed, under toe covers, with the lights turned down low
usually do what is expected, fall asleep. (Or at least that's what they should
do!)
I could go on and on and on, but time and space will not allow me to. This
is justasmallportionof the information on studyand time managementskills
available in toe Academic Advising Office. There is a wealth of information
on these topics and others tha 11 would love to share wi th the students of PSC.
There are many students (who shall remain nameless in this article, but know
who they are) who desperately need help with study skills and time
management. I encourage these and all students who need it to seek help
now. With the semester's end drawing near, now is the time because it is
never too late to improve.

D A V I D DUKE: RACISM A N D POLITICS
Prejudice, hatred, fear, ignorance, intimidation, resentment, racism; one man has used these
feelings as the foundation of his political platform. That man is Louisiana gubernatorial candidate
David Duke.
David Duke's history is clouded by racist and anti-Semitic activity. He joined the Knights of the Ku
Mux Man in high school. He was a grand wizard before leaving the organization in 1979. Soon
after Duke's departure from the KKK he founded the white supremacist organization The National
Association for the Advancement of White People. Before his election to the Louisiana State Legislature in 1989 Duke held no regular paying job. His source of income was selling racist and antiSemitic literature and fund raising for his own causes. Many have brought Duke's racist past to the
forefront to defame his political character. Duke does not deny his racist past. He dismisses his
feelings as a "wrong attitude". Duke stated, " I am not a racist. I was too intolerant in an earlier time in my life. But I
certainly am not now." Duke states he is no longer racist but he was selling neo-Nazi literature as early as 1989.
David Duke has always obtained support in all of his political endeavors. Duke was elected to the State House of Representatives in early 1989, which he is still the incumbent. Last year Duke made an attempt to gain a seat in the U.S. Senate. He
obtained 49% of the vote. Duke now has support from financial contributors in the state of Arkansas and Byron de la
Beckwith, whom was recently reindicted for the 1963 murder of civil rights activist Medgar Evers. Forty per cent of Duke's
support for the gubernatorial race came from outside of the state of Louisiana. Duke's support also comes from emphasizing
race related issues and the white working class frustrations with welfare, affirmative action, violent crime, failing schools,
lack of employment, and a stagnant economy. Duke portrays the Black underclass as the enemy. At a VFW hall in Louisiana, Duke said to an audience, "There is no bigger problem we have in Louisiana than the rising welfare underclass," Duke
went on to say, 'We're never going to have fiscal reform in Louisiana until we have welfare reform." Duke's agenda included testing welfare recipients for drugs. Duke is against affirmative action. He stated, " I believe in equal rights for all,
special privileges for none." Another plank on Duke's political platform was a partial tuition tax credit for parents sending
their children to private schools. That tax credit would leave a financial void in public schools; schools that children of color
attend. Duke is against wasteful spending. Yet Duke's political and management record show that he is not equipped to
manage Louisiana's $9.2 billion budget.
The possibility of Duke being elected as governor of Louisiana frightened Louisiana residents on both a racial and financial
scale. Black Louisiana State Representative M p Holden stated, "Many of these white extremists would feel that it would be
open season on Black folk." Duke's election as governor would have been costly to Louisiana. Many businesses felt Duke's
governorship would create a decline in tourism and cause companies to leave the state. Arizona lost tens of billions of dollars
for protesting the legalization of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther Mng Jr. Day as a holiday. Having an ex-KKK member as a governor would have surely hurt Louisiana's already stagnant economy.
David Duke brought sensitive race related issues into the political arena. On Saturday November 16, 1991 David Duke lost
the race for governor of the state of Louisiana to Edwin Edwards. Edwards achieved 61% of the votes leaving Duke with 39%
of the votes. Even though David Duke lost the gubernatorial race he has shed light on America's tense state of race relations.
A recent Gallup poll found that 76% of American's agree with Duke's views on affirmative action. Duke's overwhelming
amount of support and popularity clearly show that racial tensions are still present and growing.
David Duke will continue to advocate his political views in the Louisiana state legislature and throughout America.
Duke once stated his, "issues are coming to the forefront. I'll have an impact certainly." Duke lost the gubernatorial race
because people of color fought him with an incredible power. That power is the power to vote. If we continue to fight the
injustice and evil Duke advocates we can determine how much of an impact Duke can make. We can show the political
leaders of today we are tired of being used as toys in the game of politics. We can show them that we will[nolonger tolerate
the use of racist view points as a political tool.

Current Events
MAGIC, THE GAME HE LOST
Thursday, November 7, 1991, America was
alarmed with the breath taking news that Ervin
"Magic" Johnson, NBA multi-world championship winner, and All-Star Laker basketball
player,broadcasted on national television thathe
had tested positive for the H.I.V. virus.
I asked some students and a faculty member,
what they thought about the situation:
" I always knew that it was going to happen to
someone famous in the black race, but Ervin Johnson would have been the
last person on my mind. Now people will realize that it can happen to
anyone, and become more concerned about there own well being. Til bet you
any kind of money that over a million people, have been to the doctor for
check-up after the Magic Johnson Issue. 'Magic' still has my respect." Russell "RUSTY" Mason
'To me it's a modern day tragedy. As a role model to the youth across the
globe, it's saddening, and heartbreaking. I admire him for his faith, courage,
and strength. Yet, one good aspect has arisen from this issue, 'SEXUAL
AWARENESS' of a life threatening disease." - Stephanie Y. Sanders
"A lot of people think that 'Magic' is a homosexual under cover. I feel that
he is not, just in a bad situation, that turned life threatening. I believe this
situation is so public, because it is 'Magic'. It is really, just hard for me to
believe!" - Roshunda L. Miller, Miss P.S.C. 1990-91
"It was a very courageous act of 'Magic' to come forward. He will do more
for the people now that he has put a face on AIDS/H.I.V. He has helped the
world to realize that this is serious business. AIDS/H.I.V., is none selective.
'Rain falleth on the unjust, as well as the just.' I hope that now this issue is
out, it will not be talked to death." - Dr. Rush, Chairman Philosophy and
Religion
I feel that what has happened to "Magic" is a good example. Not the fact,
that he has AIDS, per se', but that a major star/role model has taken a fall.
A lot of children look up to "Magic like he is a invincible-not human. I think
that now that this major tragedy has happened, children will realize that
stars are human too.
The television and radio have been in rapid pace to expose the entire story
behind "Magic". When "Magic" went national with his disease, the world
was only informed with what he wanted us to know. COVER-UP, perhaps!
I don't know, but I do know that Magic contracted H.I.V. from practicing
unsafe sex. In which now, he is going to ravel the U.S. and campaign un-safe
sex.
To late for "Magic", but in time for us, and the generations yet to come. If
you don't practice safe-sex, start.

D A V I D DUKE FOR GOVERNOR OF
LOUISIANA?
In the last edition of the Panther, the Student
Publications staff interviewed students at random, to get there opinions and views about the
Clarence Thomas decision. In this issue we decided to interview another group of students to
hear their views on the David Duke issue . The
question asked to the students was: "Do you think
David Duke should run for governor of the state of
Louisiana?" Here are PSC's responses:
"He claims to be a born again christian, but he
doesn't claim a church. How can he say he has
changed for the goodness, for the people of Louisiana and whenheadmits thathedoes not worship
in fellowship to the lord and for the lord."
-Brain Harris
"He should not be governor, because he is still
holding a grudge against the black nation. If he
used tonate blacks, what makes him like us now?"
-Kirt Rogers
"No! He has a racist back ground, if we get more
people out of political offices with such backgrounds and beliefs we would have a better government and society." -Mellissa Stovall
"He should not be governor, because he would
make life for blacks and other minorities in Louisiana, pure HELL." -Crystal Crandbeny
"He should not be able to hold the office, for one
reason he was a klan member .The klan was known
for terrorizing blacks and other minorities."
-Dontae Smith
"ITs not right to have a former klansman to be a
governor of a state. Because, I feel " once a
klansman always a klansman." There will always
be prejudiced feelings towards the minority
groups in the state of Louisiana." -Brain Freeman
"Yes! He should run for governor of Louisiana,
because he can do no more harm to black folks,
than what they are doing to themselves. Black
people should love, and work together. Blacks
don t even like other blacks. Look at BET there is
a BLACK KLANSMAN GROUP right under our
nose. They cater to the mulattos and white women
and men m all music videos and any kind of mass
media, which black people are running it." So
blacks must learn to treat each other with respect
before that can jump on another race of people.
David Duke may not truly like black people mat
does not mean, he cannot do the job.
-Leslie Baskerville
"Yes! he should run. If the blackpeople allow him
to win, then he earned that right. If theblack people
do not want him to win they should ban together
to keep him out of office." -Kevin Gillmore

SEX
HAVE WE OVERCOME?
We have overcome the Middle Passage. We have
overcome slavery. We have overcome Jim Crow.
We have overcome the Civil Rights Movement.
We have overcome Reaganomics. But have we
overcome the obstacles of racism?
We have not overcome. We are still living in a
society that refuses to recognize one of our largest
social ills - racism and prejudice. Racist stereotypes are still permeating the minds of white
Americans. A University of Chicago survey
found that three out of four whites believed that
Blacks and Hispanics are more likely to be lazy,
less intelligent, less patrotic and more prone to
violence (TIME). These stereotypes are constantly reinforced by the media. In the 1988
presidential election negative stereotypes of Black
men were used as a political tool. George Bush
used the example of Willie Horton, a Black
prisioner who Michael Dukakis, democratic candidate for the presidency and former governor of
Massachutes, gave a weekend furlough. Horton
allegedly raped a woman on that weekend furlough. Bush used that incident to discredit
Dukakis. Therealoutcomeof the incident was the
demoralization of Black men. In Michigan in the
1990 gubnatorial race candidate John Engler
charged racism of his opponent, James
Blanchard. Engler was quick to charge Blanchard
with racism to obtain Blanchard's substantial
minority support.

Congratulations to the
new inductees, hope
to see others complete
the process next
semester when the
Spring semester intake
period commences in
March 1992.
PSMI Classes Begin
On Monday, November 25,1991 academic
history was made at PSC with the beginning of
classes of the Philander Smith Management
Institute. PSMI as the program is known is a
degree completion program which takes into
account the students past academic and work
experiences. Designed to award Organizational
Management degrees after 18 months of study,
enrolled students must first have completed a
minimum of two years college prior to acceptance into the program. Students follow a
schedule of class which sometimes overlap the
traditional semesters. The initial response to
the program has been fantastic confirming that a
need for such a n opportunity existed in the
community. Already the PSMI office are
processing inquires for the next group which is
expected to begin studies early next year.
Future issues of the Panther will offer more
insight and details of this program.
R.E.A.OH
A new organization was recently formed on the
PSC campus. R.E.A.C.H which stands for
Returning Students Challenging New Horizons
was established to address the needs of older
students. The groups' goals are to help members motivate each other, provide helpful study
techniques, form study groups and to offer
personal and spiritual counseling. PSC President Titus and Dean of Instruction Dr. Ruby
Burgess were among the guest speakers at the
inaugural meeting. Future plans include
workshops and programs which are geared
toward older students.
Ms. Bradie Chappie is the Coordinator and she
believes older students share a common and
mutual understanding about life. She feels it is
important that older students know there is a
support group which they could discuss various
topics of mutual interest. Many older students
have special problems such as child care,
financial aid, taking care of a home while
pursuing an education and many have a need
for new management skills. Workshops and
special activities will be designed to help keep
older students motivated. The group's motto is
"We Mean To Conquer Everyday." Interested
students should watch for announcements of
future meetings.
New Greeks Inducted
The Fall 1991 semester Greek letter organization intake period ended on Sunday, November 24,1991 with four PSC students earning
admission into on-campus organizations.
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. added Mark
Sims, Mark Norman and Russell Mays to their
ranks. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
added Jennifer Harrison to its membership
roster. To be eligible for membership into a
greek letter organization a student must have
completed 24 semester hours of acceptable
college work with at least 12 hours completed
at PSC, have a minimum GPA of 2.5 and be
accepted by the organization which membership is sought.
The new intake process which was adopted by
all the African-American greek letter organizations last year replaces the pledge period and
other activities which had been the mainstay of
gaining membership into these organizations.
BORNDS NAMED HOMECOMING QUEEN
Delphine Bornds, a junior was named Home Coming Queen for 1991 1992. The selection was made by the members of the Panthers Basketball team from a number of candidates who indicated an interest in the
position. Ms. Bornds reigned over the homecoming pep rally held in
the gym on Friday, November 22,1991. The near capacity filled gym
cheered the new queen and her court as they were introduced.
Ricardo Brooks, captain of the basketball team was her escort as she
was first presented to the PSC family.
The audience was also treated to performances by the 1991-92 PSC
Cheerleader Squad under the direction of Ms. Pat Proctor and the
1991-92 Covergirls dance team whose advisor is Ms. Reba Watson.
The women and men teams were introduced by Women's Coach, Mr.
Hilton Chandler and Athletic Director, Mr. Matthew Summerville.
Not to be outdone by the cheerleaders or covergirls, the women's
basketball team did a little stepping of their own.
Congratulations Delphine, on becoming the homecoming queen.

"EXPRESSIONS OF BLACKNESS"
The PSC Drama Club realistically
explored the initial arrival of African Americans
in this land in the institution of slavery and the
various ways slavery effects us today in "Expressions of Blackness". "Expressions of Blackness"
was a compilation of original scenes and monologues written by PSC students. Before play
began an African dance was performed by
Covergirls: Tanisha Fletcher, Nina Guyton,
Shirley Brown, Chrystal Grandberry, and
choreographer Stacy Manuel.
Kelley Lewis began the play with a
narration. Lewis' smooth narration provided as
a transition between scenes throughout the play.
Then Ray Frazier and Danita Waller revealed the
feelings of an African family separated by
slavery in the scene "Reflections". In "God Bless
The Child" Timothy Bachus portrayed a young
man striving to achieve his goals. He was
subject to ridicule and persecution from his peers
whom were played by Velda Hunter, Deidra
Sherman, and Catrina Hicks. The scene ended
with a solo by Darrius Nelson. "Who A m I?"
was the question Malaika Tony, Kimberly
Garret, Christy Lambert, Ray Frazier, Sherri
Timms, and Darrius Nelson asked. Each of
them represented one specific personality type of
African American. This scene tackled social
issues and broke societal barriers in the African
American community. Everyone from the dope
man to the athlete, the intellectual to the richly
melaninated Black woman was represented.
"Men can't live with 'em, can't live without

ATTRACTIONS
'em," was the theme of the female relationship
scene. The scene was set at a sleep-over.
Roshunda Miller, Kaya Isabel, Sherri Timms,
and Deidra Sherman casually discussed the
positives and negatives of relationships.
Darrius Nelson, Timothy Bachus, and Ray
Frazier explored the beauty of the world of love
and commitment at a friend's bachelor party.
Then love hit a sour note with domestic violence. Kim Garrett portrayed a corporate
business woman and wife of alcoholic abuser,
Darrius Nelson. Keisha Richard realistically
portrayed a frustrated victim of domestic abuse.
The setting of this scene was her late husband's
funeral. Ms. Richard's original soliloquy
revealed the loss she felt. She also told of the
constant abuse she suffered form her husband.
She retaliated against her husband by murdering him. Violence continued in the "Black on
Black Crime" scene. Yolanda Watson played
the daughter of Kaya Isabel and the sister of
Velda Hunter and Malaika Tony. Ms. Watson
owed another teen, Regina Gibson money.
Watson and Gibson's friends, Tanisha Fletcher
and Veronica Hayes began to aigue. Suddenly a
gun was fired and an innocent victim, Malaika
Tony was killed. Kaya Isabel showed her
anguish and pain for the loss of her daughter
and other Black children that are innocent
victims of Black on Black crime. Graduation
was the last scene of the play. Sherri Timms,
Ray Frazier, Tanisha Fletcher, and Timothy
Bachus looked at their college days in retrospect, and discussed the effect college had on
their lives. Yolanda Watson performed an
original monologue regarding her feelings about
her college experience. The play ended with a
grand finale that included all cast members.
This production by the PSC Drama
Club clearly shows that drama is alive at PSC.
The writing and acting quality of the play was
excellent. The use of real dialogue and issues
made the play come to life. Drama Club
advisor/director Angela Griffith's commitment
to the Theater Department will ensure more
quality productions in the future.
