P>fl« 12...THE PEN...Octob*r, 1985 A new member By Anthony Hinton Saint Augustine’s College is proud to welcome a new member to the “Augite” family. Accomplished craftsman, noted virtuoso, and eminent master. Dr. Phillip Mason brings Icnowledgable experience, not on ly to the Art Department, but also the campus of Saint Augustine’s College. “The opportunity at Saint Augustine’s College presented itself and I liked what I saw. It’s a beautiful campus; very esthetic in terms of its sur roundings; the students are bright, and there are good vibra tions here, and I like that. The facilities are beautiful and the promise is excellent, so I ac cepted the position,” said Dr. Mason, Head of the Department of Art. Born in Saint Louis, Missouri, Dr. Mason began college on the G.I. Bill in California, where he earned his Bachelors of Fine Art and Masters of Fine Art from the California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland, California. He began his doctorate of Art Educa tion at Berkley University, and soon afterwards accepted a posi tion at Indiana University as Assistant Professor of Art. Later, he accepted a position at North Carolina Central University as Chairman of the Department of What’s going on in your Division? Do you l(now something that we should know? No news is not necessarily good news. Achievements! Seminars! Programs! Any campus or community activity! Let’s all read about it! Be your Division or Department Reporter! OR Contact THE PEN’S general reporter line Extension 263 What we don’t know could hurt you! Art and continued work on his Ph.D. at Ohio State University. Following two years at Fisk University, he finished his doc torate at Ohio State and accepted a position at Boston University. “I try to get my students to understand that the experience you have here at Saint Augustine’s College is very valid but there are also other ex periences out there so don’t shut yourself off just focusing on this particular experience because it is only going to be here for a little while.” He states that he tries to keep focused in on “the real thing” and not just the fantasy. In describing himself as an ar tist, he says he is “going through different phases.” Starting out with a personal statement, (that being one of a universal state ment), then moving to a series of colleges. Dr. Mason says that students should, “Keep your perspective about the situation you are in.” If given the chance to speak to the entire student body, he would try to make these points clear; “Prepare yourself, then after you have prepared yourself, and the opportunity comes, (or doesn’t come), have a belief in yourself that you are prepared, and be able to be flexible enough to do whatever else you have to do to wait for that moment to come.” “Don’t just say, ‘I prepared myself to be a lawyer or a banker and I can’t get a job, and all is lost.’ Don’t have that attitude. Just say, ‘The opportunity has not defended itself right now, so, meanwhile, to survive, I will do this!" says Dr. Mason. He added that the key to success is “Just stick with whatever it is you do. Have a strong belief in that ‘Supreme Being,’ a belief in yourself, and be able to hang in there with it.”. . . F alcon netters scuttle Broncos By Miranda Innis Bouncing back from the disap pointment of not attending an in vitational tournament in An napolis, Maryland last week, the Lady Falcons Volleyball team embarassed the Lady Broncos of Fayetteville State University 15-3, 15-8, and 15-0 in the best of three sets this past Wednesday. The twelve-member strong ball club who lost two of their key set ters (Laverne Daly and Jennifer Isaacs-Dotson) this year, still managed to make our guests sometimes look like a junior high school team. According to Jen nifer Mortimer, captain of the I^dy Falcons, the players are fighting hard to keep a positive mind about their on-going season. “We always look sharp in our practice sessions; it’s just a mat ter of looking good at our games.” In addition to last year’s teamsters, four other members were added to the team. Ms. Mor timer added, “The new players are easy to work with and I’m looking forward to a promising season despite our unfortunate start.” Sports outlook By Otho Savage Jr, The upcoming athletic season seems to be a very interesting one in deed. Though the basketball season is still a few months away, the volleyball season got underway this evening as the Lady Falcons went up against Fayetteville State here at the Emery Gymnasium. The Falcons won the match 15-8,15-3, and 15-0 respectively. Though the season has just begun, the team missed a major tournament. This made many players upset, and they staged a protest in front of the Boyer building with many of the school students giving the team their support. This incident may seem to be a small case to some people, but missing a tournament early in the season could affect the players. Their attending the tournament could have been very valuable during the season, both in the CIAA and the National tournaments. The men’s basketball team hopes to improve on last year’s season as they prepare for the 1985-86 season. With some freshman recruits and a few transfer players, the mighty Falcons hope to return to championship form of the 1983-84 season when they went on to compete for the NCAA Division II National championship. Saint Augustine’s hopes to avenge some of their losses to arch rivals like Shaw, Winston- Salem, Norfolk State University, Viriginia Union, and Hampton. Perhaps the most important thing the team hopes to accomplish is to win the CIAA title which has definitely eluded them in the past. It all starts November 13, with the annual Blue and White Classic at Emery gynmasium. On November 29-30, the Capital City Tipp-off Tournament will be held. The season winds up on the road against Johnson C. Smith University and Virginia Union University. The CIAA tournament will be held in Richmond, Virginia this year on February 26 to March 1. Good luck to both teams during their upcoming season in quest to bring a championship to Falcon country!
