dc.description.abstractFunding Requests and Renovations: Morgan State University is seeking $20 million from the state to fund a series of renovations and remodeling projects across the campus, which are planned to be completed by 1994. President Earl S. Richardson emphasizes that these funds are overdue, noting past disparities in funding allocation compared to other state colleges. Specific buildings set for renovation include the Carnegie Building, Calloway Hall, Keyes Hall, and Hurt Gymnasium, with a total of $9.4 million allocated for these projects. Asbestos Removal Efforts: The Carter-Grant-Wilson building is set to undergo asbestos removal, supported by a $700,000 federal grant. The removal process is scheduled to begin in June, but the impact on staff relocation and day-to-day operations remains uncertain. Black History Month Convocation: The convocation honored Parren J. Mitchell, the first Black representative from Maryland elected to Congress, and Dr. Benjamin Quarles, a notable NAACP member and historian. Mitchell emphasized the importance of black Americans understanding their history and roots. Student Government Elections: The search for candidates for the Student Government Association (SGA) presidency is highlighted, with two prominent students, Ngozi Okaro and Erwin Mouzon, being mentioned as potential candidates. Scholarship Announcements: Four business majors received the "We Mean Business" scholarships from the Coca-Cola Bottling Company, each receiving $1,000 annually until graduation. Editorial Content: Dr. Manning Marable’s column criticizes Ronald Reagan’s racial policies, accusing him of promoting racial inequality through a conservative ideology. The edition includes discussions on the significance of Black History Month, with commentary on the importance of understanding African heritage and the struggles for racial equality. Student Recognition: Nicole Beasley, a freshman with a 4.0 GPA, is highlighted as the Student of the Month. She shares her perspective on campus life and her aspirations.
