Construction of the Multi Purpose Complex began w i t h a well-attended groundbreaking on July 13, and the w o r k is progressing toward a completion date of August, 1994. The foundation has been poured, some walls are up, and Flynco, Inc. w i l l be able to spend the winter working indoors once the shell is completed (a photo appears on Page 8). We are all very excited on the campus about the prospect of having a brandnew facility for our Physical E d department, and the prospect of a new building for our Business and Economics Division w i l l make it possible to better serve the ever-growing number of students who come through this Division. Additional sections of wrought-iron fence and entry gates are still available on the east and north sides of the campus. I f you or your organization have not yet reserved a section, do it today. We have received many, many positive comments from our neighbors, local busineses, and friends of the College on this handsome addition to the College's physical plant. The College has additional good news to report i n the acquisition of a Facilities Loan from the U.S. Department of E d u cation to construct a new Academic building. The exact site has yet to be chosen, but the amount of the loan reserve is $2,000,000, w h i c h w i l l enable us to expand out of the now-crowded A d ministration Building. The old U p w a r d Bound Building at 1110 Izard, is slated for demolition as a part of this grant. The cost of rehabilitating the house to City code is prohibitive. On another off-campus note, renovation is underway on an apartment building located at 15th and Gaines, donated to the College earlier this year. W e hope the facility w i l l be ready for occupancy (See D R . T I T U S on Page 8) 2 D r .

M y w a r m heartfelt thanks are extended to Mrs. Yvonne Collier Alexander, Vice President, and Mrs. Shirley Bryant Roland, Recording Secretary, who effectively presided over the executive and business sessions during my absence. We laud and applaud our members for their increased financial support to Philander Smith College and for having set a record i n paid memberships. However, we missed our scholarship goal. Each alumni was asked to give $10. Each chapter, according to our constitution and bylaws, should have raised funds for the B . H . Muldrew Scholarship Fund. D i d you give your $10?

The goal is to raise $5,000 for equipment for the new Multi Purpose Complex, which w i l l be completed in August of 1994. We are selling paperweights containing stones taken from the rock walls that surrounded Budlong Hall. The stones were crushed by Mr. Dean Skaer, Plant Manager for 3M's Roofing Granules Unit on Arch Street Pike. Each stone is embedded in a block of clear Lucite, accompanied by a card with a picture of Budlong Hall on one side, and an acknowledgement on the other. The cost of producing this premium mememto is higher than we w o u l d like: $40 for each paperweight, including shipping. But we know the alumni w i l l respond enthusiastically to this opportunity to own a piece of PSC history. Some of the stones were large enough to have plaques made for placement somewhere in the new Complex. These stones w i l l be available for engraving next summer, closer to the dedication of the new Complex. Since the number of these large stones is sharply limited, we are asking for contributions of $1,000 per plaque. Please reserve your paperweight now, and consider purchasing one of the stone plaques as a memorial to those in your alumni chapter, or for a loved one or fellow graduate. Your order w i l l be processed i n four to six weeks, as we must "batch" the orders. ° The Philanderian The Philander Smith College Alumni Journal Is a newsletter published three times a year: Fall.

Her strong voice w i l l serve this nation well i n the coming battle to provide health security to all our citizens." Republicansblockedavoteonhernomination in August before adjourning for its summer recess. Numerous conservative groups opposed her outspoken views, but fiie tone of the confirmation debate served as a contrast to the heated Senate hearings on her qualifications. Tuesday's seven-hour debate offered no new arguments or allegations, and the outcome was never i n doubt. The only question was the size of her victory. Elders' most ardent supporter during the confirmation fight was Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), who said, "She is a superbly qualified physician who understands the real health problems of real people, especially children and the poor. She is a diamond in the rough. Her opponents see the rough, but they always miss the diamond." Kennedy and other senators repeat- edly recounted how Elders overcame a childhood mired i n poverty, segregation and sexism to become a respected pediatric endocrinologist. Her leading critic, Sen. Don Nickles (R.Okla), said her professional achievements were overshadowed by her controversial comments. "My concern is that Dr. Elders has a very radical agenda," he said. He said Elders had made "strong, intolerant statements that, to say the least, are troubling." Her critics raised questions about other issues, inclu ding her role asaboard member of North Little Rock's Bank of Arkansas and her actions as Director of the State Department of Health. She served as Director from 1987 until her resignation in July. Hernominationhadthesupportofmore than 300 interest groups and medical organizations, including the full support of the American Medical Association. Accused by Nickles of "religious bigotry," for her stand on abortion rights, Elders was defended by Kennedy, who said "For someone who has herself suffered from prejudice and who is herself such a deeply religious person, the notion that she engages i n religious bigotry is preposterous." Arkansas SenatorDavidPryoracknowledged that Elders has been outspoken, but said, "She is not a diplomat. She tells it like it is." ° Shackelford Named to OPIC Board Lottie Shackelford 79 Former Little Rock Mayor and OPIC Board member Alumna and former Little Rock Mayor Lottie Shackelford has been nominated by President Clinton to serve on the Board of Directors of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), one of the Clinton Administration's most important foreign assistance agencies. Her nomination must be confirmed by the Senate. "Lottie w i l l bring a real expertise and keen sense of judgement to the board," said Ruth R. Harkin, President of OPIC. "She w i l l be instrumental in enforcing U.S. foreign policy, to help America compete abroad and create jobs and economic growth here at home," Harkin added. OPIC helps American businesses invest in developing nations. Currently Vice-Chair of theDemocratic National Committee, Shackelford has served as a local, state and national political official for the past twenty years.

Just as their marriage spanned 57 years, so was their dedication to "dear alma mater." Mrs. Carter was an active loyal, supportive member of the Northem California chapter and the National Alumni Association. Mrs. Carter moved with grace and ease as she interfaced w i t h the younger Philanderians, and she soon earned the affectionate name of "sister Gladys." She was to this group, a big sister, a role model, a mentor, and a person with an infectious sterling smile that emanaated from a heart encased i n pure gold. Her presence was felt at the National Alumni Conventions; her philanthropic gifts impacted upon every facet of the College and the National A l u m n i Association. Perhaps she understood all so well the good that could be derived from the Strength of Love pontificated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. when he said, "Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which (Continued Next Column) Calvin Littlejohn '33, died on Labor Day in Fort Worth, Texas.

Gibson and Alumni: I have left Arkansas to assume the position as conductor of the Tuskegee University Choir i n Tuskegee, Alabama. You may already know of this, but I wanted to express a personal word because I appreciate your support toward the growth of our beloved "Collegiate" Choir. M y emotions are mixed, as I prepare to leave the college and state I love with a new challenge. This bittersweet feeling has caused me to meditate with humility and gratitude on friends like you, who took us to heart so naturally and free, creating opportunities (and history-making realities) for the college choir and me. In my heart, I know that our success is due i n part to you. First, from California, to mid-America, to the East Coast, you joined hands to make our concerts the best they could be. Y o u made the way so easy for us to tell the story of dear old PSC and the great tradition we have. Second is, your diverse contributions over the years. I w i l l never forget the generous words and monetary gifts you have unselfishly given.
