Bell, former Director of Athletics at Fayetteville State University has been enshrined in the National Association of Collgeiate Directors of Ath letics Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place recently in Hollywood, Flori da. "It is a great honor," Bell said of the selection, "to be honored by your peers and to cap off an active career like this." A native of Polk , Coun ty, Georgia, Dr. Bell received the B.A., M.A. and the Ph.D. degrees at Ohio State Univer sity. The 67-year-old Georgian is somewhat responsible for opening the doors for black athletics at major colleges in the United States and was first black player to play football at Ohio State. Still active, and in good shape, the 6-1 Bell still weighs about 200 pounds, his playing weight when he was named All-Big Ten tac kle and selected to several honorable mention Ail-American teams in 1931. Bell's career spans in clude positions at Howard University, Assistant Football Coach; Director of Athletics and head coach at Clafin University; Director of Ath letics, Head of Football Coach and Chairman of the Physical Education Depart ment at Florida A & M University; Assistant Direc tor of Physical Training and head coach at Tuskegee Army Air Field during World War II; and Director of Athletics and head football coach at North Carolina A&T State University (1946-1968).

"I have lived and worked with sports and athletics between 35 and 40 years, Bell concluded, "there isn't a sport in America that doesn't have fair play and it gives me a warm feeling of fullfillment to have been associated with athletics."

Dmfnm,NjC. sft&k -I fjSM HERMAN MATHEWS ; Giloiniiisfoy UqwqII, Jr J Prove His Vdoe AJ..JSTUDk7oreRy The Democratic Party exhibited peace, harmony, and understanding at its recent political convention. Banish ments, boycotts, and prejudiced nationalism marred the convention known as the 21st Olympiad, held in Montreal, Canada. One might well wonder if all the round pegs were in round holes, and if the square pegs were in square holes. Spurred by the initial walkout of Tanzania, about 27 other nations, the majority were African delegations, pulled out of the Olympic games in protest of New Zealand being allowed to compete. The dispute centered around New Zealand playing rugby in racist South Africa, and the International Olympic Committee's decision not to expel New Zealand from the Olympiad. As a result about 500 athletes representing the protesting nations were ordered to return home. Another "platform" was presented to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) by the Canadian government. Led by Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Canada refused to let Taiwan athletes participate in the Olympiad under the name 'Republic of China'. The IOC decided not to let the Republic of China be expelled by Canada, and the ROC or Taiwan athletes packed up and went home. With the floor fights settled, and the square pegs edged into their little round holes, the remaining 100 or so dele gations and- approximately 7,000 competitors were given the green light to compete in brotherhood athletically. The hypocritical spectacle is so because of those who make it difficult for young men and women to compete in accord, without the politics, prejudices, and scandal that suppresses peace. The narrow interests of those who can hardly be honest to themselves, should be practiced in an arena far from anything pertaining to youth and athletics. Indeed, there have been three Olympiads not held because of war (VI, 1916; XII, 1940; XIII, 1944). Terrorists scarred the 20th Olympic Games at Munich. It is possible that some square peg(s) will contemplate andor exercise war because of the Olympics. Canada and others have set dangerous precedents, and responsibility will weigh heavily on future Olympiads to be truly Olympiads and not launching pads! "Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree" -African Proverbs. Buggs Joins A&T University Football Staff GREENSBORO Joseph Buggs, a native of Newport News, Virginia, will join the North Carolina A&T State University football staff as offensive backfiekl coach. Buggs, who was the first All-American running back at Elizabeth City State University, formerly coached at Huntington High and Menchville High in Newport News. He spent the 1974 and 1975 football seasons working with the backs , at Hampton Institute, one of the most improved teams in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. "I am really looking foward to working with A&T this football season," Buggs DAVIS JOINS MORGAN F001BAU STAFF Tommy Davis, a native of San Augustine, Texas, will join the Morgan State Univer sity football staff in Sept ember as defensive line coach. Davis, who was an All American defensive lineman at Tennessee State University played two years with the Baltimore Colts as a defensive end tackle. After his pro fessional career ended, he worked with the Parks and Recreation Department in Nashville, Tennessee. He is married to the former Francis Easterly. The Davises have two children. said. "We have a lot ot veteran backs returning and the situation will be chal lenging." , r'vBuggs s married to the mftitfT l;Carolyn " Wiggins. The couple has one son, Kermit Emil. GREENSBORO - The seemingly reserved conversa tionalist but proven out standing football star, Homsby Howell, Jr., had two major reasons for choosing A&T to play collegiate football. First Hornsby enrolled at A&T because his father, Hornsby Howell Sr., is head coach of the Aggie football team. "I always wanted to play on a team my father coached and this way I got the opportunity," said Hornsby. "My father has traveled a lot and has some experience with professional football teams. I can learn a lot from him." "The second reason I attended A&T is I was offered a scholarship. If my father had not been coaching at A&T, I would not have accepted the scholarship. I would have gone to South Carolina State instead." Howell, a 6'3, 195-pound player with more of a basket ball physique, is the punter and plays the position of split end. He is more recog nized as a punter than a split end, though. "It was not until the ninth grade in high school that I started playing foot ball," said Hornsby. "Before then, I always played basket ball. One day I just decided I wanted to play football, so I did." "I learned that I liked football more than basket ball so I switched. I don't know what made me decide to play football." A native of Greensboro, young Howell is a Physical -Education major at A&T. Although it seems that most people always associate ath--letics with that particular major, Howell does not think it should be done. "The only reason I taken chauvinistically or not, Howell does not feel that majored in P.E. is I happen to like sports," he said. When asked what moti vates him to play on the field, Howell did not have an immediate answer. While thinking the question over, he was asked if religion played a part in motivating him. He then gave a quick answer of "no." "I don't know what motivates me to play," admitted Howell. "All I know is that I just put my mind on what I'm supposed to do and I do it. I would like to be thought of as a self-motivated player." Whether this statement is football is a woman's sport. "Football is too rough for women," stated Howell. "Women make better spec tators than players." "If a girl goes out for the A&T football team and makes it, she wiD be treated like any other team member. Though he smiled when he made that comment, Howell said he is very serious. Howell's ambition when he graduates is to play professional football. When his father-coach was asked how he felt about his son playing professional football, he answered very quickly. "I would love to see my son make it in pro fessional football " said the senior Howell. "I have no objections to his playing. The only thing is that pro football is not all glory. It is a six month job. Too much sis is put on pro ball by the student body at A&T.
