Because the Georgia Board of Regents reaffirmed the status of SSC as a separate, autonomous institution in November and removed the uncertainty that has existed for the past few years, we now can devote greater attention to our renewed guest for excellence. We can dedicate ourselves to developing new undergraduate and graduate degree prograirs that will meet the needs of the greater Savannah area, the state and the nation. With our new status now reaffirmed, we can continue to move forcefully in our thrusts as an urban institution. As you browse the pages of the Ti ger , reflect on SSC's rich history of which you are a part. Envision what this institution will become in the future through the dedication of faculty, staff and alumni. Take pride in the "College by the Sea." Work to make it an even greater institution. "We Hail Thee SSC." Sincerely , Miss S.S.C. Sharon Grace King, a senior majoring in biology, will reign as Miss Savannah State College for the 1983-84 year. After graduating, Sharon plans to attend medical school. She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, the Wesleyan Gospel Choir, and the Student Government Asso- ciation.

Tiger Band are show stoppers! BLACK Nationally syndicated columnist and television talk show host Tony Brown Oct. 4 vowed to block merger of Savannah State College with predominately white Armstrong State College and also secured promises from S.S.C. students that they will fight with him. Brown, who established Black College Day in 1980 to honor contributions of the black colleges, chose mostly black Savannah State College as the national focus of the celebration. COLLEGE DAY "Saving black colleges is the responsibility of black people," Brown said. Students give full attention to speakers. WHAT DOES INTERGRATION MEAN? Ironically, just as President Reagan signed into law a bill declaring an official Black College Day, supporters of Black colleges around the country were demonstrating to save them from new federal and state desegregation plans that threaten their historic role. A massive march rally in Savannah, Georgia led by Tony Brown, "The Father of Black College Day," protested plans to merge Black colleges. Savannah State College was the national site of the 1983 Black College Day observance, a movement that started in 1980 when the first Black College Day was started by Brown, a televi- sion journalist and newspaper columnist.

WHO IS EDUCATED: A professor in Chicago is reported to have given the following test to his pupils. He told them they were not really educated unless they could say yes to all ihese questions: Has your education given you sympathy with all good causes and made you espouse them? Has it made you public-spirited? Has it made you a brother to the weak? Have you learned how to make friends and to keep them? Do you know what it is to be a friend to yourself? Can you look an honest man or a pure women straight in the eye? Do you see anything to love in a little child? Will a lonely dog follow you down the street? Can you be high-minded and happy in the meaner drudgeries of life? Do you think washing dishes and hoeing corn just as compatible with high thinking as piano playing or golf? Are you good for anything to yourself? Can you be happy alone? Can you look out on the world and see anything but dollars and cents? Can you look into a mud puddle by the wayside and see anything in the puddle but mud? Can you look into the sky at night and see beyond the stars? Can your soul claim relationship with the Creator? The above was taken from the literary book Leaves of Gold. 1983-84 TIGER STAFF Artist Kenneth Dunham II Artist Reginald White Greetc/Organizations Editor Colleen Myers and Photographer Charles Mungin Feature Editor Angel Thomas Sports Editor Phyllis Jones Faculty/Staff Editor Ronald Boston Class Editors Maria Troup and Sarah Ferrebee Photographer Randy Tharpe Special Thanks to Tony Statsny, Savannah News-Press Sports Editor, for football pictures. EDITOR'S MESSAGE When seeking a higher education one should aim high, be determined, and have self control. Aim high by placing your goals where you would really like to be in life. Believe in yourself and you will succeed. Be determined and overcome the obstacles you may encounter, but most of all have self control. Briggett K. Woodard Editor-in-Chief Self Control Self Control implies command of temper, command of feeling, coolness of judgement, and the power to restrain the imagination and curb of will it means thorough mastery over self.
