Charlo Bain stood in the centerof campus, taking everything in.
Watching all the hustle and bustleof fellow first-year students andtheir parents moving clothes, stereosand other belongings into dormrooms, Bain’s New Student Orienta-tion during the last week of Augustturned into an eye-opener for thefreshman from Nassau, Bahamas.
“It’s a real wake-up call,” Bainsaid as his mother, Claudia, stoodanxiously nearby.
“I guess I’m a little anxious as tohow he’s going to cope in this newenvironment,” she added. “But I'mhappy that he’s made it this far.”

President RearrangesTop Administrative Positions in One-YearPilot Program
President Robert M. FranklinJr. 75’ has announced a one-yearpilot in which he has reorganizedthe College’s administrativestructure and performance team.
John Williams ’69, dean of the division of Business Administra-tion and Economics, is now thesenior vice president for AcademicAffairs. Karen Miller, vice presidentfor Administrative Services andGeneral Counsel, is now senior vicepresident for administration.
Associate general counselMichelle Reid is the interim gen-eral counsel while Alana Veal, director of Title III, becomes theassociate vice president for Administrative Services. CherylAllen, associate dean of the Divi-sion of Business Administrationand Economics, is the actingdean of the division.
The changes went into effecton Aug. 1.
Franklin said the decision thissummer by Howard Universityassociate provost Alvin Thornton’71 to remain at Howard insteadof becoming the new provost atMorehouse allowed the opportu-nity to “rethink and re-engineer”the administrative structure.
“For some time I have beenweighing the benefits of separat-ing the duties of the provost andsenior vice president for Aca-demic Affairs, as well as the gen-eral counsel,” he said. “I firmlybelieve that there are consider-able advantages in having both asenior vice president who istasked with focusing exclusivelyon the needs and developmentsof our faculty and academic pro-gram, and a senior vice presidentfor administration who willbring laser-like focus to improv-ing the operations and customer-service profile of the College. Inaddition, the College needs ageneral counsel whose effortswill be concentrated on the legalintegrity of the institution.
“This deliberate interim ex-periment will allow us to test andcritically assess the effectivenessof a new and dynamic adminis-trative model,” Franklin said.“Each of these colleagues hasagreed to serve for one year, allowing sufficient time to formulate and implement plansfor one or more searches duringthis period.”
Tears and Cheers Abound as Families See Sons Become Men of Morehouse

Ellis Barney Freeman quietlyscanned the immaculately cutlawns, the stately buildings
and the golf carts zipping aroundthe Morehouse campus duringSummer Commencement.
“Unbelievable,” said the 97-year-old former Morehouse stu-dent. “Golf carts. When I was here,we walked everywhere. The cam-pus is 66 acres now. Know howmany it was then? One.”
With that, Freeman laughed onwhat was a great day for him. After79 years, he was returning to theplace where he started as a fresh-
faced freshman in 1929, only to have to leave two years later asthe country suffered through theGreat Depression. Freeman wasnever able to return to Morehouse,but he kept the College close to his heart.
“I feel like I’m home,” he said.Freeman came to Morehouse
from Jefferson City, Mo. from afamily of high-achievers. His fatherand step-father were entrepre-neurs. Education was important.A high school principal told Freeman that Morehouse was theschool he should attend. Freemandidn’t question the principal, even though he’d never heard
of Morehouse and knew littleabout Atlanta.
So after finishing high school in1929, he boarded a segregated trainto Georgia.
“I had been conditioned fornew adventures,” he said. “I wasn’tworried. I said to myself, ‘I’m hereand I’m supposed to learn.’”
He remembers making newfriends at Graves Hall where helived, walking to the segregated FoxTheatre and going to socials withthe Spelman students and other activities around campus.

2FROM THE EDITOR:
The most interesting part of thebeginning of every school year is thesense of newness and change –changing faces, new facilities andfresh ideas.
As you can see, Inside Morehousehas become part of that sense ofchange as the publication hasswitched to a tabloid format.
Why?The new format for Inside More-
house accomplishes several things.First, it provides the space we needto tell more of the great stories ofachievement and general interestfound throughout the campus. Secondly, the expanded formathelps with our newly expandedreadership. Nearly 1,500 copies of Inside Morehouse now will be mailed to key donors and supporters. And finally, during thistime of budgetary considerations,this larger format allows us to de-liver a lot more great news with justone issue per month, from our previous twice-monthly schedule.
That will result in a significant savings for the College.
The primary mission of InsideMorehouse is to promote commu-nity within the Morehouse family,both on and off campus. And just as before, we pledge to give the College a Morehouse communitynewsletter that boldly highlightsand spotlights the honors and manyactivities that go on here each day.
There are also new sections, suchas What I Do, which introduces theCollege community to someone atMorehouse and allows that person,in their own words, to talk abouttheir duties here.
Inside Morehouse will also helppoint readers to the College’s website, www.morehouse.edu, as afurther source of information aboutMorehouse, allowing the two entities to work hand-in-hand ingiving you an even broader pictureof what is going on here.
So what you are holding and willbe seeing the beginning of eachmonth will be a larger, bolder andbrighter publication. However, yourinvolvement will be critical in thecontinued success of Inside More-house. Not only are you highly en-couraged to contact us about youractivities, news and thoughts to sec-tions such as Take Note and MyWord, but contact us about yourevents so we can include them inour comprehensive calendar ofevents. And let us know what youthink about the new format.
You can email me directly at [email protected] or reachme by phone at (404) 572-3690. Orif you see me around campus, stopand introduce yourself. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks go out to my Officeof Communications colleagues(Toni O’Neal Mosley, Vickie G.Hampton, Elise Durham, JulieTongue, Minnie Jackson, KaraWalker and Hana Chelikowsky) fortheir help in the format change informat and being an integral staple each month in the success ofInside Morehouse.
But the bulk of the thanks go toyou, the reader. You’ve asked for anexcellent publication that truly represents the soul of MorehouseCollege. This is what we will workto make sure you have each month.
Enjoy!

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTS
As the presidents of the institutions that comprise the historic Atlanta University Center Consortium, we welcome all new stu-
dents to this very special academic community. And, to all of our returning students, faculty and staff we say, “Welcome back!”
We are taking this opportunity to combine our voices in delivering this message.
We invite you to join us in making this a meaningful, safe and productive academic year. In order to make this a reality, we call
upon each of you to embrace the following ideals.
Academic Excellence. Remember that you enjoy the privilege of being part of an academic community. Honor the sacrifices of
the ancestors, your parents, family and community. Immerse yourself in your studies, work hard and do your personal best.
Don’t disappoint those who have invested so much in you.
Ethics and Integrity. Pursue academic and personal excellence with integrity and honesty. Respect people who are different, be
willing to share and serve with those who are less fortunate and hold yourself and others accountable for good, moral behavior.
Community and Solidarity. Make good friends with the people in your school, and take advantage of the opportunity to meet stu-
dents in all of our institutions. But, also be good neighbors to the residents who surround our university community. Show
respect to all neighbors and assist them whenever possible. Let’s be our neighbor’s keeper and look out for one another.
Balance and Wholeness. Strive to live a balanced life. We encourage healthy minds within healthy bodies governed by healthy
values. Enjoy your time here. Be active and make time for your social, recreational and spiritual life.
Safety and Security. We urge you to exercise appropriate caution as you move about the city and do everything you can to prevent
becoming a victim of crime. There is always safety in numbers. And, do all you can to warn and protect others when possible.
Healthy Vulnerability. Be courageous enough to ask for help if and when you need it. If you encounter challenges, frustrations or
crises that you cannot handle alone, the faculty and staff are here for you...just ask. It takes a strong man or woman to request
help when he or she faces academic or personal trouble. Don’t isolate yourself; instead, take advantage of your membership in
our resourceful academic community.
As we show pride in the history and reputation of our individual schools and our university consortium, let us remember that
the nation is watching us. And, young children are looking for us to be role models of intelligence and hope. We have an oppor-
tunity to inspire academic excellence for the entire African diaspora and beyond.
Best wishes for a successful year!

Erroll “Sam” Phillips relishes inthe thought that his work is oftennot noticed.
Phillips, who is in charge ofbackstage productions at the Mar-tin Luther King Jr. InternationalChapel, works to make sure that thelook of the chapel for events such asSummer Commencement andCrown Forum is so perfect thatpeople only notice that it continuesto be a gleaming facility.
“I really get my satisfaction whenwe have an audience and platformfull of people who are satisfied withan event,” said Phillips, the College’sEmployee of the Month for May.“That really makes me feel good.We put in a lot of hours into a lot ofthese events to make them work.”
Phillips, a native of Fort Pierce,Fla., has been at Morehouse since1996. Away from campus, he is anavid outdoorsman who loves tohunt, fish and farm. “I got quite anice garden with corn, green beans,butter beans, squash, cucumbers,
collards and turnips,” he said.The fact that May was the month
when he was given the award is par-ticularly gratifying, Phillips said.
“It comes during the most chaotic month,” he said. “It really isan honor.”

Thatstarted when she was once asked forthe name of someone who couldperform a creative dance for anevent. She knew of no one.
“Then they said, ‘Why don’t youdo it?’” Worthy said. “I had neverdone a creative dance before, so Icreated a dance. I think it’s all be-cause I’m a dependable person.When people ask me to do stuff, Ijust say, ‘okay.’”

Tracie Daniels’ 14-year-old son,Austin, wanted to try out for hisschool’s football team. He was side-lined before even hitting the turf be-cause at the required sports physicalexam, his 219-pound girth and highblood pressure – “and I’m not talkingabout borderline,” said his mother –kept him off the field.
Daniels made a move of her own bysigning up for the 50 Million PoundChallenge, a national weight-loss cam-paign created by Dr. Ian Smith, spon-sored by State Farm Insurance andaimed specifically at African Americans.
“My son is from a diabetic family,and most of them are younger than 50and on disability,” said Daniels, the ad-ministrative assistant for General Edu-cation who plans to lose 80 pounds.“This challenge will help us eliminatethe biggest risk factor – obesity – thatwe can eliminate.”
Obesity is a national epidemic, according to a 50 Million Pound Chal-lenge brochure. But the news is graverfor African Americans: nearly 80 per-cent of black women, 67 percent ofblack men and 20 percent of blackteenagers are overweight. This leavesAfrican Americans disproportionatelyafflicted with high blood pressure, diabetes, and various forms of cancer.
Judith Richmond, administrativeassistant for the Andrew Young Cen-ter for International Affairs, signed upbecause dieting alone has not workedfor her.
“I’ve tried many times to go on myown, but you take a pass one day,then one day becomes two and even-tually you don’t do it anymore,” shesaid. “With this competition, I thinkthat I will be more motivated becausethere will be a group of people doingthe same thing.”
Eddie Southard, a 50 MillionPound Challenge Coordinator, distrib-uted 2,000 bottles of water, bags,towels and pedometers as incentivesto sign up. He said targeting collegestudents is essential because “if wecan impress upon them to stay on topof their health then they will lead ahealthier lifestyle.”

Henrietta Shu-Fen Yang remem-bers the talk about 20th centuryPeople’s Republic of China (com-monly known as China) becominga future player on the political andeconomic world stage.
“I had been hearing that the 21stcentury would be China’s century,”said Yang, who goes by Henrietta.“Well, there’s no doubt that Chinahas gotten stronger and stronger inpolitics and the economy.”
Because of that, Yang hopes toget the men of Morehouse out fronton the global surge of interest inChinese business, trade and culture.Yang, an assistant professor of Chi-nese, is the new director of ChineseStudies at Morehouse.
With the ever-increasing potentialthat students could someday beworking or doing business in China– the world’s most populated coun-try with 1.3 billion people – Yang willbe teaching mandarin Chinese,which is spoken by nearly three-fourths of the people in China. Thatmakes it the world’s most-spoken,indigenous language.
The XXIX Summer Olympics inBeijing also gave the world audiencea good look at the glistening andmodern Chinese capital city.
“Because of business and theeconomy, there is lots of interaction– plus the world has gotten smallerand smaller (because of the Inter-net),” she said. “The Chinese markethas drawn people there. And inorder to do business in China, youhave to speak their language andunderstand their culture.”
Anthony Pinder, executive direc-tor of the Andrew Young Center forInternational Studies believes bring-ing Yang to Morehouse is the rightstep in the College’s increasingly-in-ternational direction.
“We are at a point in the College’shistory where we are really focusingon producing globally competentgraduates who are proficient in languages and are exposed to multi-ple cultures around the world,” hesaid. “For an institution… Chinesefits naturally. We have to beginlooking at other parts of the worldthat are serious partners in ourmajor interests. And if we are totrain globally competent leaders,
we have to make sure we are train-ing a diverse amount of globally-competent leaders.”
Yang is a native of Taiwan whocame to the United States to studylinguistics. She had already studiedjournalism in Taipei, but developeda love for linguistics and in teachingChinese language and culture.
She comes to Morehouse afterteaching stints at the University ofTexas-Austin and most recently the
Defense Language Institute’s De-partment of Chinese in Monterey,Calif., where she had been teachingteam leader.
“I think (Morehouse) is a verygood place to create my ideal lan-guage program,” said Yang, who willincorporate new technology inteaching mandarin Chinese. “I wasimpressed by our students. It is thewhole package and makes me feellike this is the place I want to be.”
Tracie Daniels was inspired by herson, Austin, to take part in the 50Million Pound Challenge.

Even though Ryan is fromFayette County, a suburban com-munity just south of Atlanta, he waslike any other freshman.
“Uh, a little nervous,” he said ashe shuffled his hat. “I’m used tobeing comfortable being at myhouse. And now it’s a big change,leaving Mom and Dad.”
“I’m somewhat nervous too,” hismother added. “But I know that he’swell able.”
No matter how far their journeysto campus, the Bain and Hobbsfamilies typify the bundle of emo-tions that united many of the newmen of Morehouse.
The eight-day New Student Ori-entation (NSO) helped to ease someof those fears and calm the nervesof new families who became part ofthe Morehouse family.
“The activities of FreshmanWeek are designed to expose newstudents and their parents to thehistory, traditions, resources, aca-demic programs and overall pur-pose and presence of MorehouseCollege,” said Anne Watts, associatevice president for Academic Affairs.“Parents, in particular, can leavetheir sons with a reassurance thatMorehouse is the place for their sonand that he is in good hands.”
More than 900 freshman andtransfer students took part in NSO2008, which ranged from the enter-taining “Welcome to the House,”
production on the first day of NSOto the emotional Parents’ PartingCeremony on Thursday, Aug. 21.
Sterling Hudson, dean of Admis-sions and Records, said the classrepresents 40 states and seven coun-tries, mostly from the Caribbeanand Africa. The sliding world econ-omy held down the normal numberof international students, he said.
Hudson said the class of 2012 isacademically on par with previousclasses, but their commitment toserve is what most impresses him.
“I think we’ll be feeling the
impact of this class, possibly like none other, through their desireto contribute to the Morehouse environment, the surrounding community and in exerting theirleadership skills,” he said. “I think ifthere is one thing I would point toabout this class [that stands out] isthat it is full of students who haveleadership credentials.”
President Robert M. Franklin Jr.’75 greeted parents and studentsduring the NSO Opening Convoca-tion, assuring parents that theirsons would be fine.
“Leave your son or grandson atMorehouse and be proud of whatyou have done in rearing and nur-turing them,” he said. “We willmake him into a Morehouse Man.And because of that, the world willbe a better place.”
During the emotional Parents’Parting Ceremony, the new men ofMorehouse, class of 2012, – allwearing their new maroon sportscoats and maroon and white ties –marched out of the Martin LutherKing Jr. International Chapelthrough the gates of the campus.Under dark, yet cloud-swept skies,tears fell as families and their sonswere symbolically separated by theclosed gates that ceremoniouslywelcomed the students into the Col-lege’s fold.
“You feel a little sad that he’s leav-ing you, but you know that he has tomove on,” said Claudia Bain of herson Charlo. “It’s something he has todo. Now that I’ve gotten here, I cansee that people are friendly andeverybody is trying to help out. Ithink he’s going to be alright.”
“Our family will never be thesame as far as all of us being to-gether,” said Kimberly Hobbs abouther son Ryan. “Now he’s leaving. He’smy first and only son, but I trust thatGod will bring him through it.”
Though nervousness and uncer-tainty abound, Bain and other first-year students are looking forward tothe next phase of their lives.
“For me, right now, being a manof Morehouse it’s just being inde-pendent and being able to makewise decisions,” he said.

“Howard Thurman would fasci-nate us kids,” Freeman said. “He wassuch an outstanding individual. JohnHope was the president and SamuelArcher was the No. 2 man. I even remember being in the same roomwith W.E.B. Du Bois.”
But America was in the Great Depression, the nation’s worst eco-nomic downturn. The College strug-gled financially and so did students.The situation forced Freeman toleave Morehouse in 1931.
“No money,” he said. “Just didn’thave it. The conditions required thatI leave (school). My education hadto be disrupted.”
He went back to Missouri, even-tually becoming a government clerkin 1942 and rising to civil service ex-aminer-in-charge. He retired in 1971after an acclaimed 29-year career.
But he missed Morehouse.Years later, his daughter, Rebecca
Freeman-Adams, became a professorat Spelman College.
“I bought Daddy on (the Morehouse) campus when he was90,” she said. “He walked up to GravesHall, straight up to his old room. It
was amazing. That’s how impression-able Morehouse was to Daddy.”
Then earlier this year, her daugh-ter Jasmine was talking with hergrandfather.
“I was just asking about his past and what he was proud of andwhat he would do if he had the opportunity,” she said. “He said, ‘Iwould definitely like to go back toMorehouse.’”
Jasmine picked up the phone andcalled the office of President Robert M.Franklin Jr. ’75. She left a message.
“Then literally 15 minutes later, Iget a call back on my cell phone andit was Mr. Franklin himself,” she said.
“I was blown away.”Freeman was given a certificate of
attendance and was introduced as anassociate member of the MorehouseCollege National Alumni Associa-tion, representing the class of 1933.He is the only living person associ-ated with that class.
“It was a proud moment for theentire Freeman family,” JasmineAdams said.
For Freeman, the day was thecompletion of a 79-year journey.
“I kept pinching myself,” he saidof the Summer Commencement cer-emony. “I couldn’t think. I was tooexcited. It was a thriller.”

Eight years ago, Purvis Young hadfive days to get his rent moneytogether or he and all of his be-
longings would be out on the streets.Art collectors Don and Mera Rubell,who had relocated from New York toMiami, could not let that happen, es-pecially since Young’s possessions in-cluded an extensive collection of hisoriginal paintings.
“(His paintings) told the story ofhis life; he told the story of hisneighborhood,” said Mera Rubell.“The story he was telling couldn’t besent to a dump.”
The Rubells’ saw the impact andvalue of Young’s 15 years of work,staved off his eviction, bought hispaintings and funded the storageand reconditioning of his work.And they provided Young a finan-cial stream that will keep a roof overhis head for the rest of his life.
Now Young’s expressionist,urban art is featured in more than50 museums worldwide and he hasbeen called “the Picasso of theGhetto.” He is also featured in the44-year-old Rubell Family Collec-tion, one of the world’s leading col-lections of contemporary art.
The Rubells have donated toMorehouse 109 pieces of his origi-nal paintings – valued at more than$1 million. It is the largest, singlecollection of art donated to More-house and becomes the world’slargest set of Young’s work outsideof Miami. The collection will hangpermanently in the African AmericanHall of Fame. Northern Trust spon-sored the installation of the work.
The gift was announced during apress conference in the lobby of theMartin Luther King Jr. InternationalChapel on Aug. 28.
“Not only is Mr. Young a master-ful artist, but his work reflects a partof our culture that should be pre-served for future generations,” saidPresident Robert M. Franklin Jr. ’75.“We are extremely pleased and ex-cited to have this modern Americancollection at Morehouse Collegeand to be able to share this visualart, not only with members of thiscampus community and the AtlantaUniversity Center community, butwith the community at large.”
Born in Miami’s Liberty City in1943, Young became a street artistwho used much of what other peo-ple considered junk or trash to cre-ate art. Self-trained without much
formal education, Young began fo-cusing on painting during a stint injail. From his small home/studio,Young, who is recovering from kid-ney replacement surgery, has cre-ated pieces that chronicle life in his poverty-stricken, crime-infestedneighborhood in Miami.
“In thinking about what institu-tion [should house Young’s work], I thought the perfect institution to
take a collection like this would beMorehouse,” said Northern Trust’sSheldon Anderson who grew up inMiami and admired Young’s work.
The collection will be overseenby the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences with artist and instructor Charles Nelsonheading up a group that will decidehow it will be integrated into educational programming.

ARCHE Study FindsMetro Atlanta TopsNation in College Enrollment Growth
Metro Atlanta continues to be thenation’s hottest spot to pursue colle-giate studies.
Since 1989, the area’s percentagegrowth in college enrollment was up62 percent by 2005, according to astudy by the Atlanta Regional Councilfor Higher Education (ARCHE).

Ben Carson Comes toMorehouse to AwardScholarships to 38 Atlanta Students
Pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carsontold 38 Atlanta students that they hold the key to their educationalsuccess.
“The responsibility for obtaininga good education is not with yourteachers, not with your parents,” hesaid in the Executive ConferenceCenter’s Bank of America Auditoriumon Aug. 22. “It’s your own. So there isreally no excuse for not accomplishingwhat you really want to accomplish.”
Carson and his wife, Candi, werein Atlanta to present $1,000 scholar-ships from the Carson Scholars Fundto the 38 Atlanta Public School stu-dents, who ranged from fourth gradeto high school juniors. The scholarsmaintain high grades, but also excelin humanitarian pursuits. The schol-arship money is invested on their be-half until the student attends college.
Jordon Nesmith was a 2004 Car-son Scholar who is now entering hisfreshman year at Morehouse. He toldthe group that winning the scholar-ship is only the beginning.
“It is not about how you gotthere, but what you do along theway,” he said. “Your job is to go outand make a difference.”

Music department chairmanUzee Brown Jr. felt like aproud father.
He was in Paris this summer per-forming as “Frazier,” the attorney inPorgy and Bess, with several of hisformer Morehouse music studentsas part of the professional chorus behind him.
“I was so proud because theywere so on top of their games andso professional,” Brown said. “Peo-ple looked at and admired whatthey saw in those guys.”
The Morehouse contingent waspart of the Atlanta Opera Chorusthat traveled to Paris this summer toparticipate in the production ofPorgy and Bess at the historicOpera-Comique for seven weeks.Opera-Comique has involved iconiccomposers such as Daniel Auber
and Georges Bizet. It also staged thefirst performance of Bizet’s Carmenin 1875.
Brown, who performed in The Atlanta Opera’s 2005 produc-tion of Porgy and Bess, was con-tracted to perform in thisproduction by both the AtlantaOpera and Opera-Comique.
“It is one of the most significantthings for me because it was notsimply a touring company, but itwas a resident production,” he said.“All the other productions of Porgyand Bess had been American tour-ing companies.”
The group spent up to twomonths living in Paris. A month ofrehearsals for soloists like Brownpreceded their seven-week run inParis, followed by week-long en-gagements in Granada, Spain; Caen,France, and upcoming performancesin the European country of Luxem-
bourg on October. 7, 9 and 11.“This new production of Porgy
and Bess [has been] an importantevent in Europe,” said Opera-Comique general director JeromeDeschamps. “The fact that The At-lanta Opera [has been] associatedwith this project makes us evenmore proud of it.”
Morehouse has been well-repre-sented in the production. Singingwith The Atlanta Opera are assistantprofessor Mel Jackson and alumniJames Binion Jr.‘06; Gregory Cald-well ’99; Bradley Candie ’92; EdwinCotton ‘07; the youngest member ofthe entire production, 21-year-oldcurrent student Marcus Hill; LaSeanLewis ’03 along with Timothy Miller’03, who is now an adjunct professorin the music department and per-formed the “Crabman’s Call.”
“On the last night, he interpreteda high “D” and the audience went
ga-ga,” Brown said.European audiences have adored
the predominantly African Ameri-can cast as every seat was sold for
each of the 18 performances.“It has been quite an experience,”
Brown said.

Pre-Freshman Summer Program
Like the other 150 PSP participantsheading to Morehouse in the fall, BrianDawson quickly acclimated himself to asummer of classes, lectures and anoverall orientation to college life.Courses in English, reading, history,math and sociology were offered aswere lectures of particular interest toAfrican American males. Earning a B orbetter in each summer college creditcourse would count towards credit fortheir Morehouse coursework during theschool year.
But Brian Carter, an 18-year-oldfreshman from Americus, Ga., who alsoparticipated in PSP, said there was an even more important aspect of the experience.
“The very first person I met when Imoved on campus this fall was a PSPcounselor from this summer,” he said. “Imean, I kept running into PSP people. Soit’s like I have 150 PSP brothers already.”
“It actually gave me the opportunityto be comfortable in a new place,” saidDawson. “It was like my brothers weremy family.”
Morehouse NYSP
Just behind the stands of B.T. Har-vey Stadium this summer, a fierce soft-ball or kickball game was usually goingon between some very competitive 10-to-16 year olds. The game was part ofseveral athletic and academic compo-nents of the Morehouse National YouthSports Program.
“It was a successful summer,” saidprogram administrator Robert WilsonIII. “We had close to 200 children.”
This year the Morehouse NYSP got a boost: the Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation, which is part of theArthur M. Blank Family Foundation,gave $3,200 to provide scholarships so50 young people could take part in the program.
Project Identity Summer Institute
A snazzy group of rising high schoolsophomores and juniors in shirts andties who always seemed to be in a hurryto a class were Project Identity SummerInstitute students. Forty males fromacross the country – out of hundredswho applied to be part of the program –learned about math and science, cre-ative writing and public speaking. Butthey also learned about leadership andAfrican American male development.
Danny Bellinger, director of Project Identity, said the students come from a variety of economic andsocial backgrounds.
“But the thing they had in commonis that they were highly motivatedkids,” he said. “We try to give them an even playing field and allow them to meet other kids and show them somebody as highly motivated as themselves.”
Coca-Cola Pre-College Summer Program
Thirty rising junior and senior highschool students from 16 states took partin this summer’s week-long Coca-ColaPre-College Summer Program. The program introduces students to thetraits, skills and behaviors necessary for leadership.
“We like to say that we impact sev-eral areas: character, self-esteem aca-demic excellence, gaining a greaterrespect for others and creating a senseof community,” said Walter Fluker, ex-ecutive director of the Leadership Cen-ter at Morehouse College, which runsthe program. “I think the greater pieceof our program is that we have a pow-erful program that creates community.”“It’s not failed for ten years since I’vebeen part of this program that the stu-dents say, ‘I don’t want to leave, I wantto come to Morehouse,’” Fluker said.
Brian Dawson thought thissummer’s Pre-Freshman Sum-mer Program was going to befun and games. He quicklyfound out that he was com-pletely mistaken.
“We had to line up, go toclass, make sure our shirts weretucked,” said the freshman fromBaltimore, Md. “I wasn’t expect-ing that. I was like ‘What’s goingon here?’”
What was going on was oneof 18 summer programs thatmade up the Morehouse CollegeSummer Academy 2008. Spreadacross campus, they engagednearly 1,000 students – pre-teensto rising college freshman – in avariety of academic, athletic andsocial enrichment programs.
“The value of participating ina Summer Academy program isarguably immense,” said Sum-mer Academy director AnneWatts, associate vice presidentfor Academic Affairs. “Studentswere able to get an early start inpreparation for college work bybeing in classes taught by collegeprofessors, using college text-books and guided by college syl-labi. Students who return totheir high schools after intensivestudy in these Summer Academyprograms are stretched toachieve at a higher level, andthey almost always perform bet-ter in their remaining highschool courses.”
Four of the 18 programs arehighlighted here.

Coca-Cola Pre-College LeadershipProgram students began each morningwith exercising and stretching together to prepare them for long intense days.
NYSP participants hit the pool as well as the field and the classroomduring their month of academic and athletic enrichment.
Among their leadership and academiclessons, Project Identity students alsolearned about table etiquette from Belinda J. White, an assistant profes-sor in business.

Last year, a 7-3 record after pre-dictions of a last-place finish in theSouthern Intercollegiate AthleticConference (SIAC) turned theMorehouse Maroon Tiger footballteam into the surprise squad of theconference.
That won’t happen this year.Conference coaches picked the
Maroon Tigers to finish fourth in the10-team SIAC in 2008, so there willbe no sneaking up on opponents thisyear, said head football coach RichFreeman. The now-roaring MaroonTigers are a known commodity andopposing teams have taken note. ButFreeman isn’t losing sleep over that.
“I just think a man pretty muchcontrols his own destiny,” Freemansaid. “If we lock down and play fast,hard and smart, then we can be suc-cessful against anybody.”
The fast, hard and smart mantra– along with heavy doses of disci-pline – continues to be the theme forFreeman’s squad heading into hissecond year at Morehouse. It will bemuch more noticeable on offense,where offensive coordinator LeonMurray stalled a no-huddle schemethat will keep defenses on their heels.
Christian Sterling returns as quar-terback, but he will be pushed bytransfers Gerald Cook from Ten-nessee State and William Brack fromJackson State. They will be throwingto senior James Steadman, who leadsthe wide receiver corps. Junior Ra-mone Harewood and senior NateNobles lead an offensive line that re-turns all of its starters.
On defense, pre-season Division IIAll-American linebacker JeffreyCargile leads a stingy unit that yieldedthe second-fewest average points pergame in the SIAC last season.
“We’re returning nine of 11starters on defense,” Freeman said.“And of those two new players, we
feel like we have upgraded. We’relooking for our defense to get even better.”
Senior punter Micah Streiff alsoreturns to anchor the special teams.Streiff and Cargile were named to the SIAC pre-season All-Conferencesquad. Second-teamers included
Steadman, Harewood, Nobles, senior defensive lineman Mario Lane and senior defensive back Derrick Scott.
After kicking off the season witha 7-3 loss at Benedict, the MaroonTigers start a tough Septemberschedule with a visit to Fort Valley
State on Sept. 6 followed a week laterby the season’s first home game at B.T. Harvey Stadium against Lane.The Tigers visit Miles on Sept. 20 andthen play Prairie View A&M in theAngel City Classic in Los Angeles onSept. 27.

Title: Support Services Coordinator
Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Tenure at Morehouse: 12 years
Something not commonly known about Shiekgo:She is a huge fan of singer Prince and has at leasttwice been on stage at concerts and danced with him.
“When faculty, staff and students are readyto have an event in one of the campus’ facilities,they call us or me, i.e., needing tables, chairs,audio visual equipment. It means whateveritems are required, I have to set them up. I haveto have it all ready for the event and make sureeverything is working properly for the durationof the event. With students, that means sittingdown with them and going over how theyshould do the event and advising them aboutwhat they need to do to have a successful event.But I always say we’re the first ones here andthen the last ones to leave.
“What I like the most about this department– besides James Smartt and my great co-workers– is you are involved in a lot of different things
and events. In other words, I’m in the middle ofeverything. Every day is different and I neverknow when I walk on this campus each daywhat I’ll be into. Something is always going on.
(About being involved as an advisor formany student activities and other functionsacross campus) “The students, they are like myenergy. They are funny. But I just like being in-volved. Everybody around here knows I have alot of energy and know that I’ll get a lot done.
“Oh, my name. Everyone asks. All I know isit’s Japanese and it doesn’t mean much – I looked it up. My mother said she was watchinga beauty pageant show and one of the contestants was named Shiekgo.”
