NEW BEGINNINGS

PREPARING FOR 2001 AND BEYOND

1981 TIGER

PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

VOLUME XXXIII

Foreword

We stand at the thteshold of completely new, completely
NEW BEGINNINGS. At the dootsteps of a new decade, we
couragiously, yet cautiously, continue our ascension towards
the 21st Century. As we face innumerable obstacles and deter-
rents, we stop briefly to map our future paths, to unify our
rank and file, and to share now departed moments of our past
experiences.

At Savannah State College, we are making a bold and defiant
thrust into the eighties and beyond. We've begun to look
into ever)' aspect of our being to ensure academic excellence
and administrative efficiency. New programs are now being
offered to reflect the changing and competitive demands of
the highly advanced and technological work force. Instruc-
tion in the classes is geared to prepare our scholars for the real
world. New equipment and facilities are constantly being
added to keep in pace with the state of the art. In short, we've
come a long distance, have to go even further, and truly
speaking there's no giving up in sight.

As the threat of Narcissism and egoism creeps up among us,
we huddle closely to strengthen our position with lessons
taught by past experiences that now secure our present. We
focus our energies on constructive directions while utilizing
our various skills, inspirations, and knowledge for the good
of all. As we set the pace and become the example, we build
bridges into our communities that expand into avenues of
much needed communication and alliances. We huddle
closely to share our gifts and as we do we share our fondest
memories.

The year 1980-81 is our present reality. Tomorrow it will be-
long to yesterday. Today as we look back and recapture the
fleeting moments of our being together, the Staff of Student
Publications sincerely hope that we have preserved some of
your best memories. COME. Let us review the year 1980-81
as we embarked on our NEW BEGINNINGS.

THE PRESIDENT

DR WENDELL G. RAYBURN

President's Message

Members of the Savannah State College Family:

Savannah State College has been a tradition for 90 Years. The
academic year 1980-81 ushers in new beginnings for Savannah
State College's students, staff, administration, and faculty. Sa-
vannah State College must now begin to interpret its academic
and service programs in terms of its relations to the urban com-
munity of Savannah.

Ways must be found to bring together a greater awareness be-
tween SSC and the Coastal Empire area in order to effect a more
meaningful educational experience for all students.

In this, my first year as president of SSC, I hope to lead our
beloved Savannah State College to its full potential. Together
wc will move efficiently and with positive impact into the dec-
ade ahead. Come join with me and make "new beginnings" a
positive reality for SSC and its urban constituency.

";\:;i'i -.' Thank You.

New Leadership

The faculty and administration, along
with the student body and the entire
Savannah community, extends a hearty
welcome to our new President and his
Family. It is our hope that your years
will be long and progressive at Savan-
nah State College!

The President with his family

There is no substitute for a
quality education

SSC Receives Funds

From left to right: Dr. S. Persad, Mr. W.C Scott, Dr. W.G. Rayburn, Mr. B. Lewis

To start the academic year on its proper footing, Savannah
State College became the proud recipient of two new
funds. One of the awards is a scholarship, which was do-
nated by Dr. Suresh Persad, M.D., P.C., and the other is an
insurance policy, of which SSC is the beneficiary, given by
Mr. Wilton C. Scott.

The scholarship is named for its benefactor (Persad Schol-
arship Fund) and is for $1000.00. It will be awarded an-
nually beginning with the 1980-81 school year. Dr. Persad
has a practice of obstetrics and gynecology in the Savannah
area. He is certified by the American Board of Obstetri-
cians and Gynecologists, has membership in the American
Medical Association and is a fellow of the Royal College of
Physicians and Surgeons in Canada.

Mr. Wilton C. Scott designated SSC as the beneficiary of a
$5000 life insurance policy. Those who know him are
aware of Mr. Scott's long and meritorious track record of
honors, awards, degrees, and listings in professional bio-
graphies. We are especially proud to note he is the retired
Dean of Extended Services and Director of Public Rela-
tions at SSC with 30 years of devoted Service.

With men of vision as Dr. S. Persad and Mr. W.C. Scott
aiding us, together with the admirable traits that Dr. Ray-
burn brings with him, and integrating this with the posi-
tive and sincere efforts of the faculty, administration, and
student body, SSC will be projected into a bright and
promising "New Beginning.!!"

MS Savannah State College

By popular consensus of the student body, Ms Patricia Y. Hous-
ton has been chosen to represent our school as we usher in the
new decade. "Patty" is a native of Savannah and portrays a fine
example for the immediate college community. Her activities
are numerous. Some of them include: the Navelrette Social or-
ganization; Phi Beta Lambda; and the Business Organization.
She is majoring in office administration and spends free mo-
ments reading, sight seeing, and cheering.

For the sophomore attendant, we had to
travel all the way to Ailey, Ga. to find
Debra Brantley. By majoring in social
work, Ms. Brantley plans to invest her
skills in the community she will live in.
Debra enjoys basketball, which accounts
for her well "centered" and positively for-
ward personality.

The
Court

Our freshman attendant, Stephanie J. Er-
vin, comes to us from the historical port
city of Savannah also. She enjoys dancing
and relaxes with a slow walk. Now here's
a switch: Stephanie loves football and
volleyball. Her major is Biology.

Atlanta never stops producing people of
admirable qualities. Karen Anderson is
from there and she brings to the seniors a
bundle of constructive energy. For in-
stance: the Student Alumni Association;
Vogue 13; and GO Unlimited are a few
of the activities she has busied herself in
during the past years. Ms. Anderson loves
modeling and fills her summers with
swimming and cycling. She plans to fur-
ther her knowledge of business in gradu-
ate school.

Maria Andrews reflects all that is positive
and progressive in the junior class. Ready
for action, she plays tennis and enjoys
other sports. One for the aesthetic quali-
ties of life, Maria finds pleasure in reading
and music. Evidently, Atlanta sent us one
of its finest citizens.

Poll 1: How Do We Prepare for the 21st Century:

?

Black Woman! Let's
usher in a New World
. . . Together!

Preparing for the 21st Century from a Black prospective means
education and more education. The 21st century as I envision
it will be as George Orwell's vision in 1984, a society ruled by
machines and numbers, affecting every phase of one's life.
Thus this is my basis for thinking that education is the proper
preparatory stance for blacks in the 21st century. If the trend in
the 21st century is toward machines and numbers, and not
general labor as it is known today, I think blacks have to get
educated and now, in any and every field of study dealing with
numbers, electronics or machine technology. For this is the
only way blacks will exist in a 1984 society, (having the skills
and training to run the society). -James L. Brown

While listening to the wedding game on T.V., the import of
this question struck me. Personal morals seem to be receiving
the death knell. We as blacks are being forced to make a
decision as to the position we hold in America. Are we to
remain the passive slave, subjected to the whims of the master,
or are we to become real Americans and take our place in this
democratic society as other Americans before us. Not with-
standing the Indian, every ethnic group in this country gained
the positions they now hold through a diligent, unrelenting,
unified effort. We must rally to support those ideals and
individuals that espoused the will of the majority and are
striving to reshape the will of the minority. We, as blacks, are
being herded towards a final showdown. We will either have
to become American citizens or go to the homes of our
ancestors. Garvey failed and no one else has had the nerve to
try since. Who leads us? Leslie M. McKinney

SGA PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

When each ot you look back on this year's SGA and assess our
accomplishments and failures. I hope each of you will look at
yourself and assess your accomplishments and failures for this past
year. I ask you to do this because each of you individually are a part
of the SGA and collectively you are the SGA. I say "a part" not
"apart". The SGA will have only been successful in part through
\ our realization that the SGA is not one, two or three students; but
all students with common concerns for each other, education and
Savannah State College. We have fostered this ideal of unity, I pray
all of you who read this will continue to strive towards this goal.

Additionally, I would like to say a few words on leadership. Do not
be fooled into thinking each of you can not be leaders! Each of you
are leaders, now! Leaders of yourselves! Whether you are successfull
or not is the question. Ask yourself this question Am I leading my
life successfully.-' Be truthful. I challenge all of you, as I challenge
myself, to be great leaders of yourselves.

If any of you have ambitions to one day hold the job that I have held
this past year I wish you luck. Chances are the job will be different
than it is now, but the main point is to keep faith in yourself and
God.

I thank all of you for participating, suggesting, criticizing, helping
and being the SGA. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to
serve you.

As I close I would like to leave you with this, from I Corinthians
13:13 "But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the great-
est of these is love." Love each other. All One Love.

Wilson B. Thomas

The theme for this year's AFRI-
CAN AMERICAN History Month
is "Still Flowing as the Nile". So it
was most appropriate and proper
to have the soothing and harmoni-
ous melodies of Guy Davis at SSC.
Guy is an actor, songwriter, musi-
cian and poet who is a native New
Yorker.

His instruments include the 6 and
12 string guitar, harmonica, ka-

"Dreams About Life".

Currently, he's composing and per-
forming his material in several New

SSC WHIPS MOREHOUSE 27-0

On September 27, 1980, the SSC Tigers defeat-
ed the Maroon Tigers of Morehouse College.
In the first quarter, with 42 seconds left, Ken
Dawson dove 3 yards to put SSC on the score-
board. In the second quarter, Ken Dawson
crossed the goal line to make the score 27-0.
Afterward the two point conversion attempt
failed and all scoring ceased. The Tigers came
out on top final score 27-0.

TIGERS STOMP FISK 77-0

On October 4, 1980, SSC Tigers
scored 77 points on a variety of
plays. The offense scored 7 times;
defense 4 times, and the specialty
team returned a punt for a touch-
down. The Tigers walked off with
a 77-0 win over the Fisk University
Bulldogs.

TIGERS SMASH CENTRAL FLA. 44-0

On October 1 1, 1980, the SSC Tigers demolished Cen-

receiver Reggie Tindall, accounted for three outstand-
ing Tiger touchdowns. The Tiger's momentum car-
ried them to victory over Central Florida; the final

On November 18, 1980, the SSC Tigers riddled Lane College 35-10. The Tiger's offense stunned Lane, as they com-
pleted 12 of 25 passes and rolled for 202 yards. The Mighty Tigers scored a total of 5 touchdowns, each with suc-
cessful conversions afterwards. The Tigers roared on for their fourth consecutive victory, as they defeated Lane
College 35-10.

HOMECOMING 80-81

On November 8, 1980, the SSC Tigers played the
Fort Valley Wildcats for Homecoming '80. It
was indeed a very close game. At halftime the
scoreboard showed a 13-13 tie. After the half, the
inspiration of the fans declined. The Wildcats,
taking good advantage, pulled away in making
the score 16-13. The Tigers were unable to regain
their momentum and the score remained the
same. But in spite of defeat, the Homecoming
festivities were at their utmost peak throughout
the entire week. The Homecoming Parade was,
as always, superb!

ending the game 28-2, and wrapping up their
1980 football season with an overall record of 5-

1980-81 Tiger Basketball Outlook

Devastated by graduation during the off-season, Coach Ellington still has reason to be optimistic about the 1980-
81 edition of the Savannah State College Tiger Basketball squad.

"We are very optimistic about this season, we look good in practice and we have capable replacements for our de-
parted players. The talent is there. We just have to replace our departed players. We just have to maintain our win-
ning attitude and play fundamentally sound basketball. No team can lose players the quality of Ail-American
Harold Hubbard and high scoring Levi Williams and not miss them. However, depending on how quickly the
young players come around, the 1981 basketball Tigers could be the surprise of the SIAC," stated Coach Ellington.

The 1980-81 Tigers will rely heavily on the talents and experiences of forwards Ron Glover and Teddy Riley.
Glover, the only starter from last years squad and Riley, who saw a lot of action last year, will be expected to lead
starting five that features 6'8" freshman center Milton Sexton and Michael Stock or 6'1" freshman Gerald Davis at
the "Big" guard position and 6'1" junior Kenneth Glover or 6"1" senior Charles Ransom at the point guard
position.

As usual, balance on the Tiger squad will determine the outcome of this year's season. There will be eight
freshmen on the squad this year and eight returning players. The returnees should provide enough leadership to
hold the freshmen together and provice enough impetus for a winning season.

Returning are 6T" senior guard Charles Ransom; 6T" junior guard Derek Brown; 6' sophomore guard-forward
Dobson Washington 6T" junior guard Kenneth Glover; 6'6> 2" senior forward Ron Glover; 6'3! 2" sophomore
forward Charles Mackie; 6'5" sophomore forward Ainsley Airs; and 6' guard Russell Ellington (Coach Ellington's
son), 6'1" guard Gerald Davis, 6'5" forward Gregory Burrell; 6'8" center Sexton; 6'3" forward Gregory Brooks.

With a perfectly balanced squad, eight returnees and eight freshmen, all with the desire to uphold the winning tra-
dition of an outstanding coach, Ellington has good reason to be optimistic about the upcoming basketball season
at Savannah State College.

Russell Ellington

Savannah State College
Head Basketball Coach

Coach Ellington comes to SSC with a 15 year track record as head coach at Beach High
School There he led the school to five state championships, 487 career wins, and only 42
losses.

At SSC, Ellington has inspired (or rather "fired") the Tigers to capture the SIAC cham-
pionship for the past two years The Tigers record speaks for itself 21-9 in 1979 and a 26-3
in 1980 Savannah State finished second in the NCAA Division III, South Regional
Championship in 1979 and First in 1980. Currently, (at press time), we are ranked eighth in
the NCAA Poll (Div. III).

Coach Ellington has stated: "I believe in hard work, diligence, intelligence, and discipline
These are the hallmarks of my coaching philosophy".

SSC Prevails, 80-68 Tigers Gain Finals

Teddy Riley and Milton Sexton combined for 44 points to lead the Savannah State Tigers into the finals of
the Southwest Georgia Basketball Classic.

In its season opener. Savannah State defeated Edward Waters, 80-68, behind the scoring and rebounding
of Riley and Sexton.

Riley had 22 points and pulled down 13 rebounds, and while Sexton also put in 22 points, he was a little
stronger on the boards with 15 rebounds to his credit.

Michael Stock and Ron Glover also hit in double figures for the Tigers with 16 and 1 2 points, respectively.

The team battled in a close first half, and the game was deadlocked, 34-34 at half time.

However, SSC pulled away to an 8-point margin in the second half, and Edward Waters never threatened
again.

Riley had 14 of his points in that second half surge.

EWU's top scorer was Morris Tumor, who hit a game-high 24 points. (12-5-80)

SSC Loses

Savannah State fell 69-66 in the finals of the
Southwest Georgia tournament in Albany,
Georgia.

Savannah State led 42-29 at half-time but com-
mitted 12 turnovers in the second half and Alba-
ny's Dennis Whatley came off the bench scored
10 second half points.

Michael Stock led the Tigers in scoring with 18,
Glover (Ron) had 15. (12-6-80)

Savannah State Downs Maroon Tigers, 84-80

Ken Glover, a 6-1 junior, starting in the place of injured senior Chuck Ransom, took advantage of the opportunity
and scored 20 points as the Savannah State Tigers held on to defeat Morehouse College 84-80 in the Wiley-Wilcox
gym. Glover was one of the trio of Tigers to score in double figures. And strangely all the double figure scorers
had 20 points or better. Michael Stock like Glover had 20 points and long-distance gunner Teddy Riley took
game-high honors with 22.

"He (Glover) did a good job for us," said Tiger Coach Russell Ellington. "He's probably going to have to carry us
in our next game (Paine) I don't know if Chuckie will be ready to go by then with his pulled muscle.

It was Glover's steal and a couple of foul shots that all but put the game away with 3:41 left.

At that juncture of the contest Savannah State, which didn't trail all night, had a 12 point bulge, 82-70, and fans
were beginning to file out.

But, Morehouse, a division II member of the SIAC, put on a full-court press and the Tigers turned the ball over
three times to allow the Maroon Tigers to pull within four at 82-78 with 47 seconds left.

"He's (Glover) has to still learn to use the clock," said Ellington in his only complaint about the first-time
starting point guard. This stretch might have been when the Tigers could have used a more experienced Ransom.

However, the Morehouse rally fell short as the two teams exchanged baskets and Savannah State finally broke the
press as the clock ran out.

"They got winded at the end," said Ellington. "This was our third ball game in four days." The Tigers competed in
the Southwest Georgia tournament over the weekend.

"I was happy that we lasted through a ball game with a good moving team like this."

The Tigers, 2-1 had opportunities to blow the game wide open both in the first half and in the second half. But
each time they seemed to build the lead to six or eight. Morehouse would hit a shot, make a steal, and the ball
game was on again.

Savannah State quickly jumped on top by a 16-5 score, mostly off of Riley's long jumpers. The 6-5 junior had eight
points in the first six minutes of the game.

But he cooled off and so did the Tigers as Morehouse cut the advantage of four midway through the period.

Savannah State built the lead back to six but a couple of turnovers and two Karl Bell jumpers brought Morehouse
to within two 40-38, at half time. Bell had 20 points to lead the Maroon Tigers.

Morehouse tied the game to 40-40 right after half and the Tigers stayed in front, although barely, the next 16 min-
utes.

After it got tied, Riley really hit up, igniting Savannah State with nine points in the first five minutes. As in the first
half, all of them came from the 15 to 18 foot area.

Even though Riley has 23 points, Ellington criticized him for not taking more shots when he's in close. "When he
has a clear layup, he passes off too much and we end up not scoring at all."

In the early going of the second half, the Maroon Tigers pulled to within one twice, but Riley hit a 18-footer and
shot a layup to keep Morehouse down by three each time.

"Tedd's a real good perimeter shooter. With him shooting from there people can't sag in on us," said Ellington.
(12-8-80)

Tigers' Stop Paine, 63-53

Savannah State Coach Russell Ellington was pleased through most of the game
with Paine College of Augusta.

He got excited and yelled at a couple of his players business as usual for the
volatile coach but he had to be pretty pleased with his Tigers. Thev pulled to
a 10-point advantage at the end of the first half, then built up a 12-point
cushion midway through the second stanza.

"We got good play for 30 minutes; now we have to work on the other 10
minutes," said Ellington. "We got up by 12 to 14 points with 10 minutes left,
then I said, "Here we go again."

SSC allowed the Lions to close to within seven by the 4:31 mark but won by 10,
65-55, for its third win against one loss, Paine is now 5-7.

We stopped moving to meet the ball, we weren't moving to the open areas. We
weren't getting out of the trap," said Ellington. "Stock (freshman guard
Michael) took a couple of shots out of his range, which I cautioned him
strongly about. We called a timeout and got these things straightened out.

"A lot of these things happen with young teams, and with only four games, it's
not going to come that quick."

Ellington had to be pleased with forward Teddy Riley's performance. The
junior forward hit 26 points (9-for-13 from the field and 8-for-9 from the foul
line) and snared 9 rebounds. And freshman center Milton Sexton pulled down
13 rebounds and hit 9 points. (12-15-80)

Tigers Crunch Miles

The Savannah State Tigers used a solid zone defense and were able to capitalize on a one-dimensional Miles
offense in routing the Golden Bears 82-63 at Wiley-Wilcox gym.

"We played a good team defense," said Tiger Coach Russell Ellington. "When you play good team defense it's go-
ing to help on offense."

Although they played excellent defense it did take a little time for it to emerge.

The Tigers spent the first 13 minutes of the game exchanging baskets with the Bears, who were keeping pace most-
ly by Donald Scott's and Curtis Roman's long range rockets. The pair were hitting an incredibly high percentage
from the outside and as a result the game was tied 12 times in the first 13 minutes.

But when Ron Glover hit a shot and Savannah State went up 28-26 with 6:50 left in the half, the games' complexion
changed and it was never tied again and the Tigers never trailed again.

The Tigers, who were in an extremely tight zone, started coming out and forcing the Bear guards, who accounted
for 42 of their 63 points, to shoot from a few more feet away from the basket.

"I think we were a little sluggish at first. We came out and forced them to go out further and try and shoot over the
top of us," said Ellington.

With that mode of defense, the Tigers outscored Miles 13-4 over the final six minutes of the half to take an 1 1-
point halftime lead. Of the 30 points that Miles scored in the first half, Scott and Roman accounted for 22.

The Golden Bears never got closer than nine in the second half and Savannah State, held the final margin lead of
19, 63-44, with 10 minutes left in the game.

While the zone was stopping the guards, the Savannah State big men were having a field day offensively. Teddy
Riley and Ron Glover had 22 points each and Milton Sexton added 16. They really put Savannah State in complete
control of the contest in the second half. The trio were the only Tiger scorers over a stretch in the second stanza
which took them from a 47-38 lead to a 63-44 advantage.

As well as scoring fairly easily inside, they also enjoyed a game rebounding edge of 25-17. Riley led the team in re-
bounding with eight while Glover had five.

"We noticed they were a little slow inside and of course we were going to try and take advantage of it," said Elling-
ton.

The only reason that the game was not a total blowout was Miles' Scott and the fact that the Tigers shot only four-
of-16 from the foul line. Scott, while forcing many shots over the zone, the 5-10 guard still hit quite often. He end-
ed up as the games leading scorer with 28 points.

"I knew he was going to shoot," said Ellington. "He shot the devil out of it last year."

Ellington added that it would make him content for Miles to have the exact same game plan of outside shooting
the next time the two meet. (1-3-81)

Tuskegee Stymies Savannah State

Tuskegee Institute, with Tony Boss hitting key free throws down the stretch, held off Savannah State 67-60 in a
college basketball game.

The Tigers fell to a 4-2 while Tuskegee is 6-2.

SSC Played itself to a 30-29 halftime advantage, but the Tigers came out after the intermission as cold as the out-
side weather. The Golden Tigers of Tuskegee outscored SSC 23-6 in the first 11 minutes of the second half before
Coach Russell Ellington called a time out to organize his team.

Over the next four minutes, behind the hot shooting of Teddy Riley, SSC came to within five points at the 6:59
mark.

In the last eight minutes of the game, Tuskegee was cold and SSC's Chuckie Ransom made five steals, but the Ti-
gers couldn't convert their offensive opportunities.

Boss was inserted into the Tuskegee lineup with 52 seconds remaining in the game and collected seven of eight
free throws to seal the win.

"I was pleased with our comeback." said Ellington after the game, "We've been improving all along, but we just
need to play more intense defense and attack the zone more."

Riley paced SSC with 23 points. Matthew Cornegay hit 16 and Alvin Hawthorne 14 for Tuskegee. (1-5-81)

Tigers Get Revenge Against Albany State

Forwards Teddy Riley and Ron Glover made it a quest to prove to the Rams that the teams' earlier meeting this
season was somewhat of a fluke.

And, like the Dallas Cowboys' second-time effort against the Los Angeles Rams, they made good on their goal,
Riley and Glover combining for 46 points and 17 rebounds in leading Savannah State in a romp, 70-52 over Albany
State.

"Me and Teddy, we're really up for this game," said Glover who scored 23 points. "This was a revenge game for
us." Albany State beat the Tigers 69-66 in the opening weekend of the season.

"Riley said, "We wanted it, we wanted it real bad after what they did to us at their place."

With the win, the Tigers remain perfect at home with a 4-0 record. They are 5-2 overall.

Riley, a 6'5" junior, took charge underneath the boards in the first half when he hit for 21 points and grabbed seven
rebounds as Savannah State took command of the game, 39-31.

"The coach told me to shoot more," said Riley who even though averaging 22 points a game, has passed off a
number of shots in the Tigers' first seven games. "I noticed that they got off the floor when we played them before,
so I was pump-faking tonight and I took some good shots."

When Riley was hitting only one field goal in the second half. Glover took up the slack by hitting for 12 points. He
also had nine rebounds in the game.

However, he didn't want to talk about his offensive performance. He was proud of the fact that the Tigers held Al-
bany State to only 52 points. (1-7-81)

Tigers Romp Past Knoxville

The Savannah State Tigers won their sixth game of the season soundly whipping Knoxville
College 91-65.

Once again Teddy Riley and Ron Glover led the Tigers. Glover scoring 20 points in the first
half and ending up with 28 for the game with Riley scored 19.

Savannah State, 6-2 had the game well in hand almost the entire night with a 15-point lead at
half.

Knoxville came close one time, cutting the lead to six in the second halt. However, the Tigers
surged again and Russell Ellington was able to empty his bench with six minutes left in the
game. (1-9-81)

Tigers Edge Past Dragons

Savannah State's Ainsley Aris put back up a missed shot with 44 seconds left to break a 60-60 deadlock,
then came up with a key steal seconds later to spark 15th ranked Savannah State to a 62-60 win over Lane.

Lane had battled back from an 1 1 -point deficit to tie the game at 56-all with 2:10 remaining but the Tigers
were able to hold off the Tigers down the stretch to run their SIAC record to 4-0.

Ron Glover led Savannah State, now 7-2 on the year, with 14 points while Michael Stock and added 10.(1-
10-81)

14th Ranked Tigers Maul Hapless Fisk

It might be time to start comparing the 1981 Savannah State Tigers with the 1980 and 1979 SIAC Champion Tigers.

Savannah State thumped Fisk College 73-54.

"This team doesn't have the great individual talent that we had with Harold Hubbard and Levi," said junior
forward Teddy Riley who was on both of the championship teams. "We have a lot of people this year that are team
players so we are playing more team ball.

"We're playing more together than last year because we have to win," he said.

Looking around at the emptying stands, he added, "It's nice to have a big victory at home." Riley had 28 points
and 11 rebounds in only 27 minutes of playing time.

"Teddy's a performer, he'll always get his points." said Tiger Coach Russell Ellington.

The ranking is just incentive right now, we're trying to win as many games as possible," said Ellington. "It's a great
feeling being ranked but we're trying to get to No. 1," said Riley.

Even though they won by 19 points over Fisk, 1-14, it could have been much worse. Ellington played everybody.

A humiliating experience right before the half was indicative of the type of night it was for Fisk. With the Tigers
leading by 17 points and about two minutes left, Fisk went into a delay awaiting a final shot at the buzzer.

However, with about five seconds left, Savannah State stole a Fisk pass inside and Riley threw the length of the
court to Gerald Davis who slammed it through, bringing a booming roar from the crowd. (1-15-81)

Closing Strength and Love

Life's Lessons

Much was learned by me as I sought to edit this year's Tiger. And
I am very grateful to the people both positive and negative who
were responsible for my growth. This was an eye opening year
and I learned to keep an eye opened to the people closest to me,
for they carry the knives that cut deepest. Who feels it, knows it.
There is much in life to be learned and so much more to be
unlearned.

Future Strength

We skip, slide, and stride towards the 21st century indifferent to
and not completely understanding the meaning of the past four
centuries (or the charades of the last two decades). We dismiss,
feel ashamed of and laugh at our past while our present condition
(worldwide) is insecure and yet we regard the future as promised
to us. Mean while: the world runners are going to the moon and
beyond while we run down to the Moon Disco on 'beer bust'
night. For the long run of generations to come some serious
house cleaning/straightening is very much in order. We secure
our future with our daily actions. What will you do with the rest
of this day?

Love and Vibrations

Don't say you Love us! As a whole, our actions are motivated by
every other force in the universe except Love Love is now found
exclusively in the soap operas, comic books, commercials and
25c peep shows. Love is the colorless, white substitute for
rhythm and action. Our love is felt by the rhythm of the vibra-
tions between us and by the actions we display. Don't say you us.
Above All, I wish you strength and right understanding.

Asante Sana,
Tshuki
