Members of the Lincoln Family andFriends:

During my years here at Lincoln(1938-42) there were certain rules set bythe rabble that freshmen had to observe—at least for the first semester—that is, ifthey wanted to remain in a healthy state.The rules were these:

1. No freshman was to walk under thesacred arch;

2. They had to wear their green fresh-man caps with the orange colored but-tons;

3. They had to wear garters to beshown upon request;

4. Freshmen were not to sit on thestones in front of Cresson Hall; and

5. Each freshman had to learn, andrecite or sing, the words to the Alma Ma-ter upon the request of any sophomore orupperclassman.

Most of the freshmen complied, butthe few who rebelled were severely dealtwith by the rabble. There was a stocky,lantern-jawed, serious-minded freshmanfrom the west coast of Africa by the nameof Idiong, who refused to learn the AlmaMater by anyone's timetable except hisown. Then one beautiful fall day oncampus, he suddenly found himselfcaught in the middle of a big "rabblesession."

One of the most dedicated rabblers,whom we called Geechee, took the leadand confronted the defiant freshman,saying, "you will learn the Alma Mater intwenty-four hours, or I will personallytake you to the woods!" To this Idiongreplied, "and if you try, you shall get aretaliation from me!" Geechee then leftthe scene in a huff, admonishing the surlyfreshman to stay put until he returned.

As the crowd grew larger, anticipatinggreat action upon Geechee's long await-ed return, "Rocky" Bisbane stopped byand asked in his deep voice, "What's go-ing on here?" When he was told thatGeechee had gone to get his weapons toteach the freshman some manners,"Rocky" replied in a very convincingvoice, "Geechee ain't gona do nothing! Ijust left Geechee; he's been over at thelibrary for the last half hour, trying to findthe word 'retaliation' in the dictionary!"

Because of some rather rough treat-ment and threats from "Rocky" and othermembers of the rabble, Idiong learnedthe words to the Alma Mater in shortorder, and with the urging of other moreflexible and understanding Africans likeNkrumah, Jones-Quartey, and Disu, he,in time, became a model freshman. Bothhe and Geechee have since gone on tothe Great Beyond, but "Rocky" is stillfighting for Lincoln, and singing theAlma Mater with meaning.

To some, the Alma Mater is seriousbusiness. To me, it's more than just nos-talgia. It's a strong pledge in poetic formwhich each of us took when we first sangas freshmen, "Dear Lincoln, Dear Lin-coln to thee we'll e'er be true"; and "Forthee our Alma Mater dear, we'll rise inour might." Now that's very strong.

About six or seven years back, whileserving on the Board of Trustees, I be-came highly indignant and upset when Ifound out that a contractor, who wassearching for what he called "perfecttrees" to be exported to Europe for somespecial project, was invited here on cam-pus and, for an undisclosed sum of mo-ney, was given the right in a certain area,to cut down the trees of his choice. In hisanxiety he also cut down trees from anadjoining property, for which act Lincolnwas sued. This claim was quietly settled

Since this is probably the last oppor-tunity I will have to communicate withyou through this media, I will review ourstatus as an association.

In my report to the Council on October22, I identified seven areas of concern:the relationship between the Universityand the Association; the confusion con-cerning contributions to the Universityand contributions to the Association;chapter organization; the Association'scommittee structure; alumni support forthe University; alumni annual giving; andthe procedures used by the Associationin choosing its officers. I will commenton only a few of these concerns.

The current procedure for choosingofficers is as follows: 1. The AssociationPresident appoints a nominating com-mittee which draws up a slate. 2. Theslate is presented to the Council foradoption at its February meeting. 3. Afteradoption, a ballot is sent to the alumni tobe returned with a dues check by the firstSaturday in May.

I see a number of problems with thisprocedure. First, the nominations reportis seldom a consensus report. It is usuallydeveloped by one person and presentedto the Council as a committee report foraction. The committee seldom, if ever,polls the alumni for nominations.

Second, prior to the counting of theballots, no systematic method is used toassure that voters are eligible to vote.(Only persons who are currently mem-bers of the Association or are life mem-bers are eligible to vote.) A thoroughcheck of eligibility is made after votesare counted, a procedure that is clearlyproblematic.

With the announced retirement of Dr.Farrell as executive secretary at the endof this academic year, the Association ismore than ever in need of officers with

the dedication and energy to handle theirduties and to assure a smooth transition.

At Council's October meeting, the Fi-nance Committee reported on a proposalto define a relationship with the Univer-sity that would result in the eliminationof dues collection and an Associationbudget generated by annual alumni giv-ing. The Council turned down this pro-posal. As a result, I appointed a commit-tee to study the possibility of the Associa-tion's becoming totally independent ofthe University—a situation I do not deemto be practical, feasible or affordable,mainly due to the many joint operations.For instance, the Association could notafford the expense of maintaining its owndata base and the electronic record keep-ing necessary for an efficiently run oper-ation; and the mailing alone would beprohibitive.

The Development Committee of theBoard of Trustees is also studying thisissue and plans to make a proposal at thecommencement meeting.

The Association has chartered a newchapter in Delaware and has begun worktoward chartering a chapter in the Tide-water area of Virginia. We are also spon-soring the first alumni tour—of Abidjan,Dekar, and Goree Island, West Africa,from August 2 to 12, 1989. If you areinterested in participating, contact theOffice of Alumni Affairs.

I wish to thank all who have made myterm of office of president a rewardingexperience and express the hope that thenext officers will receive the samewarmth and cooperation that was af-forded me. High on the list of concernsfor the next administration should be thedevelopment of a mutually beneficial re-lationship between the Association andthe University.

Homecoming: A Student Perspectiveby Nadine Council, '89, & Donna Abrams, '89

The theme of Lincoln's HomecomingLuncheon program; in fact, of the entireday, was the rededication of loyalty byalumni and the student body. This wasemphasized by Dr. James H. Parker, '42,chairman of Lincoln's Alumni Associa-tion, who spoke at the occasion. Wel-coming remarks were made by PresidentNiara Sudarkasa, from Lincoln's ad-ministrative segment; Enoch Rochester,representing the student body; and Pro-fessor Donald Pierce, '53, of the GeneralAlumni Association.

After a delicious meal, AmbassadorFranklin H. Williams, '41, gave the au-dience a recap of the "good old days" atLincoln. Completing the program was afashion show, which featured innovativeideas for wearing African accessories.

At every Homecoming, students com-pete by creating floats for the traditionalparade. Cars are gaily decorated to rep-resent each organization, and somegroups manage to acquire flat bed trailersand do more imaginative things. Thestudents would very much like to be ableto obtain more supplies and make theparade even more spectacular.

The cheerleaders' homecoming rou-tine, always a favorite part of the parade,kept the crowd spellbound.

At 3 p.m., the Greek Stepshow drew anexuberant crowd to Lincoln's blacktop infront of the Student Union Building. Thesense of unity the students experiencedcan be credited to our sororities and fra-ternities. As we all know, these organiza-tions play a major role in Lincoln's stu-dent life and are instrumental in bringingstudents together.

Naturally, students eagerly awaitedtheir favorite fraternities and sororities,whose performances reflected the roars

and handpraises of the excited spectators.The alumni also joined in the steppingand chanting, making the occasion evenmore meaningful.

A word which can be used to describethese special moments is "togetherness."Without it, Homecoming would never becomplete.

The Hall of Fame Induction Cere-mony, the objective of which was to ho-nor the inaugural inductees for their out-standing contributions to their profes-sions and communities, gave Lincolnstudents an opportunity to talk with dis-tinguished graduates.

Some of the honorees appeared onfilm. The Lincoln family took great pridein welcoming the Hall of Fame memberswho appeared in person; it was a greatprivilege to witness this memorable time.

The entire program was inspiring andbeneficial, making students aware of thecontributions inductees have made toLincoln and to the world.

The Homecoming agenda also in-cluded a Gala Concert featuring some ofthe country's most renowned musicians,led by pianist/composer Robert StarlingPritchard. The music consisted of classi-cal music by African-American andAfro-Brazilian composers.

Later in the evening, Student Activitiespresented feature artists Regina Bell andPieces of a Dream. Each crowd-pleasingartist gave an outstanding show. We werepleased to see that attendance had in-creased over the past few years, and wewere amazed at the light show presentedby Silver Sound Incorporated.

By 4:30 a.m., we realized that we hadexperienced Homecoming 1988 to itsfullest, and our dreams shifted to Home-coming 1989.

August, 1989, to be continued on an an-nual basis.

5. Establishment of a volunteer alum-ni network to solicit alumni for annualgifts. The network will be organized byclass (each class will have a "classagent") and should be operational bySeptember, 1989.

6. Automation of gift recording,pledge maintenance, bulk solicitationsand gift acknowledgements—by Septem-ber, 1989.

7. Establishment of programs to facil-itate communication between alumniand currently enrolled students. We hopeto have a pilot program designed by May,1989, so that it can be discussed withalumni and students at commencement.

8. Production of a new alumni direc-tory—by December, 1989.

In addition to functioning as a liaisonbetween the University and the alumni,the Alumni Affairs Office serves as theannual giving office, bulk mailer and listsmanager. It maintains alumni recordsand supports the activities of the AlumniAssociation by handling bulk mailings(as time and personnel allow) and bysupplying information to Association of-ficers as needed.

The Office's future role will be one ofeven more importance. In general, wewant to increase and improve contactbetween the alumni and the University,as well as increase the amount and leveiof participation of alumni giving (whichcurrently stands at 5.33%). The Office'sspecific goals are as follows:

1. Revitalization of dormant chaptersof the Alumni Association. We will con-centrate on the regions where the largestclusters of alumni reside (Philadelphia-South Jersey, Washington, D.C., North-ern Virginia, New York City-North Jer-sey, and Southern California). We hopeto have all chapters active by December,1989.

2. Clarification and redefinition of therelationship between Lincoln and theLincoln Alumni Association—by March,1989.

3. Initiation of an annual series ofspecial programs for regional concentra-tions of alumni which will involve, asappropriate, the president, prominentalumni, faculty, administrators and stu-dents—by September, 1989.

4. Publication and distribution to allalumni of an "Honor Roll of Giving"—by

One of the highlights of Homecoming af-ternoon was a fashion show featuring re-gional designers as part of "PhiladelphiaDresses the World."

President Niara Sudarkasa presented a citation honoring Dr. Horace Mann Bond, '23,Lincoln's first Black president, to his son, the Honorable Julian Bond, at RededicationDay ceremonies.

out of court without the knowledge of theBoard members.

The main reason for my displeasurewas that I felt Alma Mater had beenraped—and I am still angry at the thoughtof it! I take the following declarationvery seriously: "For we love every inch ofthy sacred soil, / Ev'ry tree on thy campusgreen;". I have a deep and abiding lovefor everything connected with Lincoln,and it all can be found here in the 1stChapter of my heart. And finally otherinspiring declarations are these: "And forthee with our might / We will ever toil/That thou mightest be supreme, / We'llraise thy standard to the sky, / Midstglory and honor to fly. / And constantand true / We will live for thee anew, /Our dear old Orange and Blue."

So, here and now, let us all rededicateour hearts and minds to living out thetrue meaning of this grand and gloriouspoem which is our Alma Mater. Let usretake the oath by first reciting in unisonthese meaningful words:

Dear Lincoln, Dear Lincoln,To thee we'll e're be true.To golden hours we spent beneathThe dear old Orange and Blue,Will live for e'er in memory,As guiding stars through life;For thee our Alma Mater dear,We'll rise in our might.

For we love every inch of thy sacred soil,Ev'ry tree on thy campus green;And for thee with our mightWe will ever toilThat thou mightest be supreme,We'll raise thy standard to the sky,Midst glory and honor to fly.And constant and trueWe will live for thee anew,Our dear old Orange and Blue.Hail! Hail! Lincoln.

Now let us all sing it together as it hasnever been sung before, while honoringthe memory of its author, A. DenneeBibb, Class of '11, and of all the othermembers of the Lincoln Family nowdeceased.

In honoring them, we honor ourselves.
