mere is almost nothing that can
be done to bring a person out of it.
But because of Isadora's age and
his excellent health, the chances
aren't as bad as an older person
who is out of shape. Doctors
aren't saying, however, whether
he will make it or not.
So, in the solarium of the
intensive care unit, small groups
of people huddle* together...
reaching out to each other for
strength. They try to make the
wait painless, but one can feel the
grief... the jsorrow... the hope.

>haw Begins
110th Year
Shaw University President J.
Archie Haigraves spoke to a
capacity audience at the
institution Friday saying "a new
leadership has to emerge to meet
today's problems".
Dr. Hargraves remarks came
at thp Opening Convocation for
the 110th academic year at Shaw.
He said,4 Education is a means
by which you get illuminated and
enlightened in order to be .
endowed and empowered and
enriched and transformed so as
to be of service to others and to
participate in the resolution of
problems and issues and
experiences that are necessary
For survival".
. Hargraves noted students'
experiences at Shaw would only
be the fl beginning of their
education. "If the process stops,
we stagnate an^lose our ability
to survive when the pressures
come", he said.
We begin all inquiry from
human concerns, he, continued.
"Higher education focuses on
things as they are and plotting
and mapping out things as they
might be". . v
