EVANS STOPS DOPING, STARTS PLAflNG By Richard Moore Now that Chucky Evans has stopped worrying about not being on the starting five at A&T: the Aggies' next opponents could be in real trouble. Evans, a 6-5 junior forward, became somewhat irritable and moody ^hortly after an ankle injury benched him before the season started. The lanky leaper missed the opening games and saw only limited duty In othdra. "I just thought that 1 wasn't playing enough, said Evans "but I found out that Coach Irvin was just bringing me along lowly because of my ankle. 11 was worrying me some, but 1 foiihd out that he was right" * Evans served notice that he Is healed in both mind and body recently when he came off the TW bench to spark the Aggies to a: I 98-95 victory over nationally ranked Cheyney State. He scored 20 points and pulled down r 16 rebounds. The Aggies have I been winning since, f Evans, a native of Atlanta, is ' the first to admit that the mop- | ing was not good for him. "I i have a new outlook now," he added. "1 figure I can come off , the bench and give the team a I boost. I am no longer worrying I about starting." I He is even philisophical about his role. "You can learn a lot . while on the bench," he said. i "For one thing, I find I can i analyze the situation better and i know better how to handle my , I man when I get into the game." i Evans' return to the lineup i should give A&T sorely needed, . rebounding strength. He is also , a good ball handler and one of' . i the quickest players on the team, j ! Evans believes that the Ag ' gies' schedule is somewhat in I their favor. "We have six important games 1 j at home," he said. "If we win these and can win at least half ; of the road games, we should be in pretty good shape." > On Wednesday night, Jan. 13, A&T met Shaw University at Greensboro Coliseum and won ; 77-66.

Funeral services were held Sunday, Jan. 17, 1971 at 1:00 P.M. from United Institutional Baptist Church, with the pastor, Rev. Charles W. Anderson, officiating. Burial was in Pied mont Memorial Park. The Rev. Mrs. C. W. Anderson gave the eulogy in which she stated that Mrs. Smith was a Beautiful Nightingale. This name was first given her by the late Dr. Charlotte Hawkins Brown who pictured her grad-1 uating class in Nursing as the: Beautiful Nightingale. Mrs.' Smith was a wonderful worker' of God. She never said no when called upon to render a service., She was a faithful nurse at the L. Richardson Hospital for 28 years, a faithful church worker and a faithful community servant who would always greet you with a smile. Ophelia's mother died when she was at an early age. She and her two sisters were brought up by their father. Rev. Mrs. Anderson pictured the whole family in her eulogy beautifully. Survivors are: husband, Arlando H.

The youthful professor was critical of teachers who urge the immediate dismissal of students they consider to be problems. "It would be better to have such children remain in school to prepare them to carry their share of the load to keep society going," said Dr. Williams. She said prejudice is based chiefly on the economic and personal advantages it gives one group over another. Dr. Williams cautioned against the use of intelligence tests and skin color as measures of a person's growth. "We have not been successful in defining intelligence, so we use cultural measurers. Then there is some ready to be made whole while he is fragmented." There is a growing need for persons who are willing to put their comfort and security behind them and cross the lines of poverty and despair. Increasing numbers of Christians can live in one world while having the imagination and courage to cross over into another world and identify with the homeless and the disadvantaged. Examples of such a life may be commonplace on the surface but far-reaching in consequences. A housewife and mother ol five spends three days a week without pay helping children in a black school with their reading. A husband-wife team ol doctors, retiring early from a busy practice, opened the Gist mission hospital in Nepal. Such are the signs of reconciliation in a broken world, quiet as a blade of grass growing, unspectacular as new tissue replacing old. What can we do to bring about such new life where we are? O God of mercy and reconciliation, forgive our sins against the cause of love in the world. Lead us beyond the hostile walls that divide us and usher in your reign of justice and peace. Amen.
