ed Saint Augustine’s College,

60; and South Carolina State,
73-71.
In the season opener at St.
Augustine’s College, All-CI-
AA prospect Alton Cogdell
ripped the nets for 24 big
points and snatched eight re
bounds in the FSU winning
cause.
Said Coach Reeves about his
prize eager, ‘T would certain
ly have to say that Cogdell
was outstanding in the St. Au
gustine contest.”
The two wins over St. Au
gustine’s College and Shaw
University presently leave the
Reeves-men with an enblem-
ished 2-0 CIAA mark and are
3-0 in overall play.
In the latest victory over
the South Carolina State,
guard James Tyus hit a pair
of clutch free throws with four
seconds remaining to give the
Broncos victory number three
for the year.
Alton Cogdell was high for
Fayetteville State bucketing
18 points. He was followed by
Roy Birch with 16, Joey Don
nell had eleven and James Ty
us had 10 points.
“1 am certainly pleased
with the way the team has
hustled on both defense and of
fense,” said the likeable
Reeves.
The "big gun” for the high
flying Fayetteville State Uni
versity club is 6-5 forward
Alton Cogdell, a native of St.
Pauls, North Carolina.
“Cogdell is very good on the
inside and is very hard to beat
in a one-on-one situation.
He Is an excellent shooter and
ball handler,” said Reeves.

on the year, placed three play
ers on the All-NAIA District

CONFIDENCE

may constitute its greatest
souce of weakness.
Earlier in our history, A-
merican higher education re
flected the mould of the na
tion, appealing to local and
regional interests. More re
cently, however, with the on
set of a communications revo
lution in which an entire na
tion learns instantaneously of
occurring events, a national
psyclie can be formed and
attitudes and opinions shaped
with a chilling immediacy.
An American public forms
impressions based on infor
mation projected via the news
media and tends to apply that
which is learned about a sin
gle institution to all of higher
education, thus bringing in es
sence a national character to
higher education.
Even though several uni
versities may be considered
“national” in that they draw
a student body from all 50
states, or gain national notice
for their prowess in sports,
all institutions can lay claim
‘o some degree of national at
tention for reasons of finan
cial support from national
private contributors, founda
tions, or the federal govern
ment; or of a faculty assem
bled from all over the coun
try. But none really draws
upon the vast reservoir of
broad-based support from the
massive numbers of people
who constitute the American
public. Institutions of higher
education speak neither with
one voice nor for one another.
They can address themselves
mainly to their own local or
regional interests. And even
in the context of representa
tion in a national organization
is there only a beginning of
effort directed at a common
cause,
A program designed to
elicit public attention, con
cern and action assumes that
higher education needs and
deserves support and this oc
curs when the goals and ob
jectives of higher education
are clearly defined and car
ried forth. It is not enough to
say how one should perform
but essential that the perfor
mance live up to its aspira
tions.

dell has not been the number
one scorer in the early sea
son was against Shaw Univer
sity when he netted only 14
points.
. “I would certainly have to
say that Cogdell has played
very good ball on defense and
offense,” began Reeves,
“however, Tyus, Joey Don
nell, Roy Birch, Sam Smith,
Terrence Murchinson, and
Otis Newkirk have all played
very well in giving us a tre
mendous start for the year.”
The FSU basketball club
will face two home opponents
for the month of December.
They will entertain Federal
City College on December 6
and Johnson C. Smith Univer
sity, December 16.
Later in the month of De
cember, the Reeves-men will
travel to Chicago to partici
pate in the Windy City Tour
nament on December 26, 27,
28.
The Reeves - men will be
home on January 2, when they
host the Virginia State Tro
jans at Cumberland County A-
rena.

are urged to contribute

TYUS
(From page 7)
Tyus is majoring in chem
istry and hopes to enter the
field as a professional teach
er, chemist, or some related
area.
The junior at FSU is very
likeable and has the respect
of his teammates and coach
es.
The schedule for the Bron
cos in December will be
rough. However, with men like
James Tyus on the squad
coach Reeves can rest with
some ease.
“Arkansas is a little guard
who can do the job when the
going gets rough,” said
Reeves.

The student center has provided ns with a place to go when we
