Berger, Authur Asa. THE
COMIC-STRIPPED AMERI
CAN. 1973. Walker & Co. Press
It you’re a comic strip fan
Arthur Berger’s THE COMIC-
STRIPPED AMERICAN
should interest you. Berger
feels that comic strips are the
collective daydream of the
American imagination and
reveal something about our
national character. Each
comic strip says something
different about us or to our
lives. Berger offers witty and
insightful analysis of comic
strips from the turn of the
century to today.
Clancy, Paul R. JUST A
COUNTRY LAWYER: A
BIOGRAPHY OF SENATOR
SAM ERVIN. 1975. Indiana
University Press.
Sam Ervin has been a
desperately needed tonic
throughout one of the most
dismal episodes of our
national life. Little known
nationally before the
Watergate Hearings began,
the image he had was that of a
folksy, rather eccentric
Southern Conservative, the
enemy of liberal causes
despite his avowed com
mitment to civil liberties.
Overnight, he had it all: fame,
affection, a secure place in the
history of this country.
Clark, W. E. Le Grose. THE
ANTECEDENTS OF MAN.
1971. Quadrangle Books.
Professor Clark’s latest
work, THE ANTECEDENTS
OF MAN, requires no special
background to be enjoyed.
While it was written for
students of anthropology and
biology, it can just as easily be
enjoyed by the layman as an
exciting introduction to the
subject of human evolution.
As an introduction to human
evolution it provides one with
a perspective few other
current works can, for it deals
with the evolution of the
Primate order rather than
just with the evolution of man.
General topics such as the
“theory of evolution” and the
“evolutionary process” are
also discuss^.
The text is well illustrated
with many self-explanatory
illustrations.
Feelings, Muriel. JAMBO
MEANS HELLO: SWAHILI
ALPHABET BOOK. 1975. Dial
Press.
Mrs. Feelings, who has
lived and tau^t in East
Africa, has written a simple
but informative text. Selec
ting twenty-four words, one
for each letter of the Swahili
alphabet, she gives children a
simple lesson in the Swahili
language while familiarizing
them with some important
aspects of traditional East
African life.
Gurko, Miriam. THE LADIES
OF SENECA FALLS: THE
BIRTH OF THE WOMAN’S
RIGHTS MOVEMENT. 1974.
Macmillan Press.
The forerunners of the
woman’s rights movement
gathered for the first time at
Seneca Falls, New York, in
July of 1848. At that con
vention, they started a
movement that is still in
progress today. In THE
LADIES OF SENECA
FALLS, Miriam Gurko tells
the fascinating and
provocative story of the
campaign of those ladies,
fought through an avalanche
of hostility and ridicule from
every social and political
institution, for equal rights.
Among the leaders of the
movement that Miriam Gurko
deals with were Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Lucrieta Mott,
Susan B. Anthony and Lucy
Stone.
Jackson, Donald Dale.
JUDGES. 1974. Athengum
Press.
From a justice of the
peace in Appalachia to the
U.S. Supreme Court, Donald
Jackson, in JUDGES,
provides us with a look into
the lives of those men and
women charged with in
terpreting and dispensing our
justice. He probes the fears
and prejudices, temptations
and conscience of the
American judiciary from the
east coast to the west. This
book penetrates further into
the motivations, morals, and
emotions of the nation’s
judges than has any other
work before it.
Johnson, Paul. ELIZABETH
I. 1974. Holt Rinehart and
Winston.
Paul Johnson’s Elizabeth
I, a biography, is the first full-
length political biography of
Elizabeth to appear for many
years. Using the many
resources of modern
scholarship, Paul Johnson
reconstructs Elizabeth’s
character and relates it to the
beliefs and history of her time.
He deals mainly with the
political aspects of her life,
and shows how her sex,
education and other personal
factors affected her politics.
Paul Johnson portrays the
Queen largely throu^ her
own words and the words of
her contemporaries.
Leab, Daniel J. FROM
SAMBO TO SUPERSPADE:
THE BLACK EXPERIENCE
IN MOTION PICTURES. 1975.
Houghton, Mifflin Press.
This book is the story of
the strange (and estranged)
role of the black on screen. It
is an account, as entertaining
as it is definitive, of the
evolution of an unreal
sterotype, from the fawning,
simple-minded, and
subhuman servant of the
sUent era to the impossibly
virile heroes and heroines of
today’s basically black-
orientated movies.
Lewis, Elma. WHO TOOK
THE WEIGHT? 1975. Little,
Brown Press.
This book comprises the
poems, short stories, essays,
and plays of ten black men,
inmates of Norfolk Prison in
Massachusetts. It is a
remarkable phenomenon-a
collection of witty, angry,
intensely human writings that
echo the frustration and the
pride of the black man; they
speak of children and wives
and the loneliness of the
estrangement; of prison and
exploitation at the hands of
white and black; of the
violence of street life and the
cruelty of drugs; of
helplessness, love and
nev^ound dignity-of all the
forces around us which buoy
up and bring down manhood.
McCall, Dan. THE EXAM
PLE OF RICHARD WRIGHT.
1975. Harcourt, Brace &
World.
Richard Wright was the
first major Negro writer in
American literature to reach
a mass audience, and the first
to confront that audience with
what it really means to be
bldclc
In THE EXAMPLE OF
RICHARD WRIGHT, Dan
McCall discusses Wright’s
work in terms of its relevant
literary, moral, and political
contexts. Mr. McCall un
dertakes an intensive close
analysis of Richard Wright’s
major and most represen
tative achievements, a
historical study of Wright’s
position as a left-wing
polemicist and Black
Spokesman (“Black Power”
is Wright’s phrase), and an
appraisal of Wright’s in
fluence on subsequent black
writers and of the continuing
importance of his work.
Mead, Margaret. BLACK
BERRY WINTER, MY
EARLIER YEARS. 1974.
William Morrow & Company.
The intimate personal
story behind the pioneering
achievements of the world’s
most famous anthropologist.
Frankly and eloquently Dr.
Mead relates here the events
of her life up to World War II
and the effects each of her
remarkable experiences has
had on her as a woman.
Vividly described are Dr.
Mead’s early field trips-to
Samoa, New Guinea, Bali-
and the opposition she
overcame as a very young
woman studying alone the
primitive peoples of the South
Seas.
Robinson, Louie, Jr. AR
THUR ASHE TENNIS
CHAMPION. 1969. Doubleday.
When Arthur Ashe was
very young, he like to watch a
tall, strong, yoimg man play
tennis on the courts near the
Ashes’ home in Richmond,
Va. “Do you want me to show
you how to hit that ball?” the
young man asked one day.
Authur did-and the tennis
pro, Ronald Charity, was
astonished at the power in that
small body.
Ronald taught Arthur all
he knew, then sent the boy on
to others who could teach him
more. At first, Arthur wasn’t
sure he want^ to devote so
much time to tennis-after all,
baseball was his favorite
sport. But he was cham
pionship material, everyone
said, and it wasn’t long before
Arthur had to believe it. How
Arthur Ashe made his way to
the top in the “white” world of
tennis makes a moving and
dramatic story.
Vroman, Mary Elizabeth.
DELTA SIGMA THETA
SORORITY: THE FIRST
FIFTY YEARS. 1965. Ran
dom House.
The history of the first
fifty years of Delta Sigma
Theta commends the spirit
and imagination of the twenty-
two college women who
founded the sorority in 1913.
The idea, the evolution,
the contributions, the con
victions are vividly portrayed
by the author.
Watkins, Mel and David, Jay,
editors. TO BE A BLACK
WOMAN: PORTRAITS IN
FACT AND FICTION. 1975.
William Morrow & Co.
This extrordinary
collection is the first indeptti
portrait of the black women in
America, from slavery to the
present, to appear. The thirty-
nine selections in this volume
are varied in form as well as
content. They range from
sociological studies and
essays to the intense personal
depictions offered by
autobiographies, poetry and
fiction.
James Godwin
DRAFTED
by jets
by John B. Henderson
Sports Information Director
James Godwin, who was
just learning the game of
football in high school about
five years ago, has been
drafted by the New York Jets
of the National Football
League.
A senior business major
at Fayetteville State
University (N.C.), Godwin is
the second player to be
drafted by the Jets from FSU.
Kenny Gamble, a punt-
specialist, was drafted in 1972
after leading the league in this
department.
A native of Godwin, N.C.
(near Fayetteville, N.C.), he
became the first running back
at FSU in 1974 to amass over
100 yards rushing in a single
season and finished second in
the Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Association (CIAA).
The six-foot 210-pound
speedster accomplished the
feat despite his team sported a
4-7 mark.
In ’74 Godwin also scored
a total of nine touchdowns and
averaged 6 yards per carry.
He totaled 1019 yards for the
season and averaged 96 yards
per contest.
Named to the Mutual
Network Black All-American
first team in 1975, Godwin led
his team to a 7-3 record, the
best in the school’s history.
In ’75, the running back
continued his running ways,
although he did not top his
previous high mark in
rushing. Godwin finished this
year with 918 yards, good for
the second spot in the league,
and scored eight touchdowns
averaging six yards per
carry.
He improved his game
average over the previous
year in rushing with a 102 yard

THINK ABOUT IT
Enjoying what one does helps
to make life worth living.
Getting up each morning,
knowing that you play a vital .g
role in the scheme of life gives
a person that “extra”
something he needs to be
complete.
Just like anything else-your
life is what you MAKE it.
Whatever you do in order to
have “FUN”,
I’m quite sure that you put
yourself “into” it.
Like so, one must “get into”
each activity and every
situation he finds himself in.
No, I’m not saying that almost
anything goes, but I am
saying - use your common
sense - “you’ve got to put
something IN before you can
get something OUT.”
If you find yourself in
agreement with me, why have
you been blaming everything
and everybody else for you
“down in the dump” feelings?
Well, you’re just like everyone
else who has to find a
scapegoat.
By now, I know you’re won
dering exactly what I’m
saying. Well, it’s like this:
Get off your lazy “trip” and do
something worthwhile.
