The proposal submitted to the U.S. Civil Rights Office earmarks $27 million over the next five years for Cheyney University and Lincoln University, the two predominately Black institutions in Pennsylvania. The plan would also link Cheyney and Lincoln with the graduate and professional schools at Penn State, the University of Pittsburgh and Temple University and require the other public schools to recruit minority students at all levels. In addition, each of the state's 14 community colleges, four state- related universities and 14 state- owned universities has developed a plan to increase the number of Black administrators, teachers and non- academic staffs. The plan calls for $1.7 million in scholarships to be awarded over the next five years to needy minority students to encourage them to attend graduate and professional schools. About $15.5 million is earmarked to be spent over the next five years at Cheyney to expand library holdings, substantially upgrade facilities and improve faculty and staff. At Lincoln, the Commonwealth proposes to spend $11.5 million over the next five years to improve existing pre- professional programs and build computer science and humanities buildings, consolidating social science programs. A bill that includes the first $1 million the state has agreed to spend to bolster programs at Lincoln was approved by the House by a 196-2 vote. The measure has been sent to the Senate. The $1 million was added to the $4.8 million Lincoln is scheduled to receive from the state in 1983-84 and would give the school a 32 percent increase in state funds. Other state-related universities— Penn State, Pittsburgh and Temple— are to get a 4 percent increase over 1982-83 funding. 1983 HOMECOMING DAY Saturday, October 29 Homecoming Week — October 2:J-30

THE STUDENT SCENESchool Spirit

By Lisa Bacon '85

I wonder what school spirit was likeduring Lincoln's early years? Well,today in the 80's, Lincoln University'sschool spirit has diminished to almostnothing. There have been so manyefforts by so few students, but LincolnUniversity has yet to come back alive.Where has all the roar of the Lionsgone? Did it go to the Lions' denwhere we were eaten up, or did it justdie? I can say that school spiritdiminished back in the 60's whenfootball ceased to exist here atLincoln University. After that,students saw no real necessity forschool spirit.

There were some good effortsmade by Ms. Pamela Keyes (Class of1982), who was the student bodypresident in 1981. She began to getthe students "all keyed up," but whenit came time for her fo leave Lincoln,the spirit left with her. Because newpresident, Guy Sims, could notestablish any school spirit while inoffice, he resigned, stating that"there is too much apathy on thiscampus." This statement is true, buthe could have worked much harder.

School spirit means the comingtogether of the student body as awhole to create interesting activitiesand to participate in them effectively.By coming together, I simply mean forLincolnites to begin participating inon-campus as well as off-campusactivities sponsored by LincolnUniversity organizations. Today thereare so few people willing to par-ticipate in the many activities thatoccur on this campus that we as acollege campus are losing our en-thusiasm to fully appreciate the truemeaning of school spirit.

Lincoln University used to be andstill is a very prestigious Blackuniversity where thousands havecome and gone knowing the AlmaMater. Alumni would be surprised athow many people these daysgraduate from Lincoln Universitywithout knowing the words or thetune fo the Alma Mater. I think thatthe University administration andstaff should put stress on making surethat everyone learns the Alma Mater.It should be a requirement inFreshman Seminar that studentslearn the Alma Mater as well as the

history of Lincoln University. Theyshould also learn why each buildingwas named for different influentialBlacks. I know some of the history ofLincoln, but some isn't enough. I alsoknow the Alma Mater. I know thesethings because I made a special effortto learn them. No one pushed me, butsome students need that "push."

There is a fairly new organizationon campus, the Lincoln University PepTeam. This group's purpose is to bringback that long missing school spirit.One of its goals is to teach thestudent body the Alma Mater so thatwe can bring back that old tradition ofsinging it at each home basketballgame and football game. This groupis inactive this semester because ofthe lack of participation, but themembers plan to come back strongwhen Lincoln University has its veryfirst Pep Rally, and football(hopefully) returns to the campus inOctober.

CENTURY-PLUS CLUB

The Century-Plus Club is theplanned giving program ofLincoln University alumni —alumni committed to givingannually $100.00-Plus (restrictedand unrestricted) to Lincoln. Lastyear in the wake of a decliningeconomy and s tudentenrollment in our 128-yeorhistory, the time appearedoptimum, not only to renewemphasis on planned giving, butto return to basics by institutingan annual planned givingprogram.

We focused the givingprogram on our alumni (amale/female constituency). Our1983 goal is to have at least1,000 out of a total alumni bodyof more than 6,000 to join theCentury Club-Plus.

Gratifying is the best word todescribe the results to date ofthe Century-Plus Club. Manyalumni/ae are using "matchingfund" privileges.

To reach our goal —300 more aiumnl/ae must join
