The Howard University School of Divinity will celebrate the life and legacy of its former dean, Lawrence Neale Jones, Ph.D., by renaming the school’s library after him at 5:30 p.m., on Wednesday, Jan. 20, during its Opening Convocation.

Jones, a giant within the religious education and church communities, died on Dec. 7, 2009.

Much of the school’s growth occurred under Jones’ leadership from 1975 to 1991. During his tenure, the school moved from the University’s main campus to a site on Randolph Street in Northwest Washington, D.C. and finally to its current location at 1400 Shepherd St. NE.

Student enrollment increased, as did faculty and the school’s resources. It was also during his tenure that “Great is thy Faithfulness” was adopted as the school song.

School of Divinity Dean,

Alton Pollard III, Ph.D., said naming the library in Jones’ honor immortalizes his contributions to Howard, the School of Divinity, Washington, D.C. and the nation.

“Dean Jones, as he will always be remembered, was one of the forerunners in the School of Divinity’s history,” Pollard said. “He led this school for 16 years with foresight and perseverance. All those who are fortunate to matriculate, work, teach or do research here are

inheritors of his great sacrifice and beneficence.”

Jones will be remembered as a visionary, scholar, educator, preacher, pastor, mentor, vanguard, statesman, historian and author, Pollard said.

He received a bachelor’s degree from West Virginia State College, a master’s degree in American History from the University of Chicago, a bachelor of Divinity degree from Oberlin

College Graduate School of Theology and a doctorate in African-American Church History from Yale University.

Jones served as pastor of churches in Ohio, New York City and Washington, D.C. including Church of the Redeemer and Plymouth Congregational. He also served as Dean of the Chapel at Fisk University and Dean of the Faculty and Acting President of Union Theological Seminary, where he

was the first African American to hold that position.

The recipient of numerous honorary degrees and awards, Jones wrote many pastoral pieces, including “Soundings,” “Theological Reflections” and “Notes from a Preacher’s Desk.” After his retirement, he wrote “African Americans and the Christian Churches 1619-1860,” which was published in 2007 when he was 86 years old.

Leaving his position as the Interim Vice Provost of Student Affairs, Dean Charles Gibbs was announced as the Interim Athletic Director in a letter issued to the University by President Sidney A. Ribeau.

To replace Gibbs’ position, Barbara Griffin will serve as Vice President of Student Affairs (VPSA) until a permanent appointment is announced. According to a letter issued to the Howard University community, a candidate was recommended but later accepted a position at another institution.

“My first plan of action is to thoroughly review the Office of Student Affairs [and] meet with student groups, deans, staff and alumni,” Griffin said. “Also all related constituencies so that I can serve Howard University as well as I possibly can.”

Fostering a closer relationship between all of the “components of the University that affect the academic, cultural and social development of students” is one of Griffin’s goals. She plans to work with the members of the Howard University community to create a more cohesive learning environment.

Griffin has served as associate provost, the chair of the English Department, and associate dean in the College of Arts and Sciences (COAS). She assisted in the development of the

COAS Undergraduate Research Symposium and many summer study abroad programs.

“Doctor Griffin is one of those administrators that really cares about students and making a difference in students’ lives,” said Victoria Kirby, a first-year graduate student.

As for Gibbs, his new task will be to oversee the work of coaches and related staff involved in athletic programs. “I think Dean Gibbs is the man for the job,” said Jordan Faust, junior administration of justice major. “The athletic director before was good, but did not do the best he could to make things happen.” Faust said Gibbs will have to improve and focus on the needs of the student athletes. Gibbs is a former Bison student athlete, playing for Howard University’s football team and winning conference matches. Gibbs will be replacing former athletic director Dwight Datcher.

Christian Delas, junior information systems major and member of Howard’s soccer team, said he hopes the new athletic director will better manage funds allocated to the athletic department. “Management department should not be lopsided,” Delas said. “Every team should be able to get what they need.” Delas said the new athletic director has a chance to attract new students to come to Howard University and become part of the athletic program.

BREAKING NEWSACCORDING TO CNN.COM, A THREE YEAR OLD IN CALIFORNIA SHOOTS AND KILLS HIMSELF.

Members of the Howard University community traveled to Greensboro, N.C. to celebrate and honor the life of James Edward Cheek Sr., Ph. D., former President of Howard University who died on January 8 at the age of 77.

Cheek served in the presidential capacity for 20 years, creating a historical legacy that is remembered by Howard students and faculty all across campus.

James Cheek Sr. was born on Dec. 4, 1932 in Roanoke Rapids, N.C. Cheek double majored in sociology and history from Shaw University in 1955 where he met his wife of nearly 50 years Celestine Juanita Williams. Cheek later became president of Shaw in 1963, becoming one of the youngest college/university presidents in the country at the age of 30. Cheek obtained a Master of Divinity (with honors) from Colgate Rochester Divinity School in 1958, and the Doctor of Philosophy degree from Drew University in 1962.

He served in the United States Air Force and was discharged in 1951.

The current President of Howard University Sidney Ribeau expressed Cheek’s leadership as a “national treasure” to the university that should always be remembered.

“For two decades under Cheek’s leadership (1969-1989), Howard University experienced immense growth and modernization

– with our student population increasing and the number of schools, colleges, research programs and faculty expanding,” President Ribeau said. “The university built upon its international reputation and its legacy of social justice.”

Cheek became president of Howard University in 1969 and retired in 1989, making him the second-longest-serving President in Howard University history. Cheek was also instrumental in opening two major broadcast facilities for

Howard University, -- commercial radio station WHUR-FM, and the first Black-owned PBS station WHMM (later WHUT-TV).

Also during Cheek’s leadership, Howard University broke ground on Howard University Hospital, the Undergraduate Library, increased the endowment fund, the established the School of Business and adding the School of Divinity and School of Law to Howard University’s extended campus in the Northwest D.C.

Howard Basketball: While We Were Away...

The men’s basketball team has compiled a record of 4-1 in the MEAC and a 5-13 overall record while the women’s team posted a record of 3-2 in the MEAC and a 7-9 overall record.

On Monday, both teams matched up with the men’s and women’s teams from Norfolk State University and were victorious. The men defeated Norfolk State 82-77, while the Lady Bison won 55-46.

Sophomore guard Calvin Thompson is making a huge impact on the team this year as the MEAC

Player of the Week and averaging a team high with 13.8 points and 1.8 assists a game. Thompson also put up impressive numbers the past two games, scoring a career high 33 points against North Carolina A&T and 24 points against Norfolk State on Monday.

Lady Bison Zykia Brown

had a game-high 25 points against Norfolk State while breaking the 1,000-point mark in her 76th game. Brown is the team leader in points, averaging 18.5 points a game, while Saadia Doyle is also putting up impressive numbers of 16.1 points

and 11.3 rebounds per game. Thompson and Doyle are

both finalists for the Heritage Sports Radio Network National Player of the Week. Votes must be cast for Doyle and Thompson on hsrn.com by 2 p.m. today.

One of the most memo-rable seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) history was tainted after Mark McGwire, baseball’s home run king of the 1998 season, recently admitted steroid use, making many fans and Howard students skeptical of many of the power numbers in America’s pastime.

McGwire admitted to us-ing steroids on and off for about a decade in an effort to recover from baseball injuries and fa-tigue.

McGwire continuously re-fused to acknowledge any perfor-mance enhancement as a result of steroid usage, causing a bit of an uproar in the world of base-ball and forcing some former players and teammates to speak out against McGwire and his chances of enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

McGwire’s admission comes after making his long awaited return to baseball in 2010 as the St. Louis Cardinals’ new hitting coach. The timing of the admission has been a cause for concern for many who don’t believe he would have come out otherwise, though McGwire claims that if not for fear of le-gal repercussions he would have come clean in 2005.

“It’s obvious that he’s only doing this because he has to,” Hen-ry Musgrove, a sophomore busi-ness management major, said. “He would have never admitted to using steroids under his own free will.”

During the 1998 season in the face of waning interest and de-clining ticket sales, baseball needed a spark to once again stake its claim as “America’s national pastime.”

That spark came in the form of two players: Mark McGwire and

Sammy Sosa. The 1998 home run race was a back and forth battle between the arguably two of the best power hitters in the league that played out through constant news stories and SportsCenter highlight reels.

McGwire and Sosa raced toward Roger Maris’ record of 61 home runs in a single season, hit-ting gravity-defying homers night after night. Eventually, McGwire and Sosa finished with 70 and 66 homers in one season respectively.

“[McGwire’s] Hall of Fame resume is based on home runs, but who knows how many he would’ve hit without cheating, so they can’t let him in,” junior economics major David Boon said.

McGwire made his MLB debut in 1986 as a member of the Oakland Athletics (A’s) and began his rookie campaign dur-ing the 1987 season. He showed early promise as a power hitter in his rookie season, setting the MLB record for most home runs in a sea-

son by a rookie and garnering the American League (AL) Rookie of the Year Award. McGwire’s power continued to lift the Oakland A’s, despite a declining batting average.

However, Oakland is also where McGwire encountered Jose Canseco, another promising, young power hitter in the A’s lineup. The duo was coined the “Bash Broth-ers” in reference to their muscular frames and their uncanny ability to hit balls out of the park. It was also around this time period that McG-

wire was introduced to steroids. He admitted to using steroids during the 1989 offseason.

McGwire was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1997 and achieved substantial suc-cess which Canseco went on to become the poster boy for base-ball’s infamous steroid era. His tell-all book “Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant ‘Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big” released in 2005. It opened the doors to widespread suspicion and investi-gation of some of baseball’s big-gest names, most notably Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeiro and McGwire.

The widespread news cov-erage and public outcry led to a 2005 congressional hearing on steroids where 11 players and ex-ecutives, including McGwire and Canseco, were called to appear. There, McGwire made his infa-mous “I’m not here to talk about the past” quote that served to create more suspicion about the legitimacy of McGwire’s gaudy power numbers.

“It’s just hard for me to believe that he would have hit so many homers without the ste-roids,” Musgrove said.

McGwire’s admission interview with Bob Costas has been aired constantly on a vari-ety of news outlets and his sin-cerity has been called into ques-

tion. Nevertheless, it did not stop McGwire from receiving a warm ovation at a recent Cardinals pro-motional event.

Despite the reception, the most troubling part of the story to baseball purists is that McGwire re-fuses to admit the steroids enhanced his performance. He credits his in-crease in home runs to a shorter swing and a more in depth study of pitchers he faced.

The Saga Continues: Baseball’s Steroids Era

Mark McGwire recently added his name to the list of baseball players who admitted to steroid usage. Howard students feel like his records will forever be tainted as a result.

Election Season Kicks Off on HU’s Campus

It is that time of the year again. Prospective candidates for student elections attended meet-ings held by the general commis-sion regarding the rules and regu-lations for running an honest and progressive campaign this semes-ter in Blackburn Digital Audito-rium on Jan. 13.

“This election season will be different,” said Whitney Henry, general elections commissioner. “We want the student body to be involved in the political aspect this season so they know completely

who their candidates are, as op-posed to looking at pretty pic-tures,” she said.

Henry said she wants can-didates to be held accountable for the things they are running for. As a means for students to know who their candidates are, Spot-light television network at Howard University will host a show where candidates will be able to speak about the issues they are running for. Henry said similar to the tele-vision show, “The View,” a panel of students knowledgeable of stu-dent elections will have discussions every Friday during the election season.

“We want the students to see the candidates from different aspects,” she said.

Students received informa-tion such as how many signatures are needed to run for a certain of-fices, such as the Howard Univer-sity Student Association (HUSA). February 1 marks the official start of campaigning at midnight.

“Reaching students makes an effective campaign,” said Allen Reynolds, a sophomore television production major. “Connecting with people as well.”

Jasmine Barnett, a junior political science major, said what she looks for in a student leader

is someone who is focused on the major issues.

“I look for someone who is for the betterment of the students, the betterment of the university,” Barnett said. “Someone whose fo-cus is on the students, because we are the most important in student elections. I am not looking for someone to make me promises but just to pay attention to students and work to fulfill their needs or ideas,” she said.

James Sims, a senior politi-cal science major, said he is look-ing for a candidate who is the most credible or experienced.

“Experienced does not

mean [who] have the most titles but [who] has done the most with their positions,” Sims said. “This candidate has to be genuine about wanting the position they are seeking, this person must have the most feasible platform and includ-ing ways to implement,” he said.

Sims said the candidates must be well-spoken and well-versed in the necessary materials concerning their position “and a good student, because students come first.”

Business Fraternity Members ‘Rush, Rule It’

It’s been a year since the Al-pha Kappa Psi Business Fraternity made its way to Howard University and with 49 members, the organi-zation is ready for new intake. With hopes to breed business leaders, this week the Psi Tau chapter kicks off “Russian Roulette: Rush and Rule It,” with various events for Howard students to get to know the ‘ins and outs’ of the organization.

“We wanted the name of the week to say whatever it is you want to accomplish. There is a large

network of people and you will be able to rule whatever you passion is,” President LaMont Russell said. He said that the plans for the orga-nization this year are to satisfy all of the requirements with nationals so the chapter can continue and put on more professional development programs.

Just a year ago, a group of Howard students got together to form one of the six predominately black chapters of the fraternity, ac-cording to Russell. “We had meet-ings about the fraternity to see peo-ple’s interest and from there it just kind of blossomed.”

Founded in 1904 and serv-ing as the world’s oldest and largest business fraternity, Russell hopes his fraternity will set itself apart from the Howard normalcy. Russell, one of the founding fathers of the or-ganization, saw it as an opportunity to start something from scratch and have his own input.

“Open to all majors,” is the line that sets Alpha Kappa Psi apart from other business fraterni-ties. It means students from all over the university can get their hands on business aspects.

Sophomore administration major Tahir Alberta joined the or-

ganization for that sole reason. “I felt that I needed to be well round-ed when it came to being a better principle business leader,” Alberta said.

With African Americans being the number one consumers in America, Alberta said organiza-tions like this give young African Americans an option to discover their true potential. “The number one way to gain wealth in America is to be a producer more than you are a consumer.”

Kiara McCoy, junior hos-pitality major, became a member of Alpha Kappa Psi for both the

professional and personal aspects. Growing up as an only child, she said unity is one thing she takes from the organization. “I wanted to share my knowledge with oth-ers and gain knowledge from them and be able to work with others,” McCoy said. “We have become so close.”

Looking ahead to the future, McCoy hopes to see her fraternity leave a legacy at Howard. “I know we are just kind of starting, and it’s really shaky in the beginning, but I see us leaving a long legacy.”

4 ADVERTISEMENT January 20, 2010

Based on a true story, recently released film “The Blind Side,” has garnered a lot of conversations in the black community.

Featuring Caucasian actress Sandra Bullock as the leader of her upper middle class family, the movie recaps their adoption of a strug-gling black youth. This sto-ryline initially raised eye-brows around the African -American community.

African Americans seem to reject the idea of a white woman rescuing a young black man from perils such as homeless-ness and poverty.

Apparently, the Golden Globe committee didn’t feel the same way as proved by this week’s award show. Sandra Bull-ock won the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (drama).

After actually seeing the film, many previous cyn-ics were singing its praises, calling the movie one of the best films of the year – their earlier ideas of underlying racism were seemingly for-

gotten.Similar to “The Blind

Side,” Disney’s “The Prin-cess and the Frog” has been the topic of significant scru-tiny by many Howard stu-dents. The movie was coined by one particularly annoyed student as “organized and animated coonery.”

Maybe we should have

been excited that Disney was finally giving us a black prin-cess, but in many cases, that excitement was overshad-owed by the possibility of racial prejudice within the film.

Set in 1920s New Or-

leans, there were Creole ac-cents, and references to the hardship associated with be-ing black in the south during that era. The film, however, was realistic as opposed to offensive, contrary to what many expected from the pre-views.

It seems as though the African-American communi-

ty may be overwhelm-ingly predisposed to expect negativity in the media, especially when it comes to representa-tion in film. But is that type of attitude always necessary?

Of course we’ve seen some pretty nega-tive depictions of Af-rican Americans in film in the past, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that every refer-ence to blacks in film

should be subjected to that same expectation.

A healthy level of skepticism might be accept-able, but it’s okay to give these films, (and others like them), a chance.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a wonderful man of power, dignity, service and most of all humility. It is no wonder that on the day deemed as his holiday, we as a people collectively seek to do more for others in re-membrance of his light.

As a reflection of his character, many come out nationwide to serve their communities, the less fortu-nate and our children.

I attended one of the several community outreach programs hosted here in D.C. for MLK Day at the MLK Memorial Library. I came to this program with the inten-tion of serving those in need; clearly that was not why most people came!

What I saw at MLK was a display of pure disgust brought to us by our fellow Greeks! Hello Greeks… how are you? Feeling well I hope after a hard day of spectator-ship I’m sure!

As I walked among the sea of line shirts, embossed cardigans and embellished

line jackets, I couldn’t help but notice that the Greeks were doing nothing at this community service but stand-ing around… watching their PROSPECTS do the work!

Is this really what you pledged for!? To have the ability to be a warden instead of a warrior for truth, justice and humility!?

How dare you invite prospects to do work that you deem yourself unworthy of doing now that you have been anointed with letters.

You deserve an ap-plause for successfully mak-ing a community service event look like nothing more than a Greek fashion show for paraphernalia.

To those prospects that worked so hard in honor of a man who was a Greek him-self, please take heed of what has happened… and contin-ues to happen at the hands of our beloved Greeks.

Take note that EVERY ONE of our divine nine so-rorities and fraternities have been founded upon a pillar

or principal of service… and yet… who do they serve? I am hard pressed to find any of our How-ard Greeks actually ad-hering to that principal, which they pledged so hard, bled, sweat and cried to de-fend.

Maybe you should remove service from your bylaws and place it where it justly belongs… IN YOUR PLEDGE/ PRE-PLEDGE PROGRAM!

It’s funny how letters can make you powerful to the point where helping others is beneath you.

For those who seek these letters which are worn across our chests, I implore you to do one thing: ask those whom you look up to – the ones who have these letters – when was the last time they did community service. You may be surprised to find out that it was while they pledged!

Sincerely,A Fellow Greek
