Local Athlete Makes Academics,
Athletics Working Combination

ROOSEVELT LOVETT
Miles College sophomore
Roosevelt Lovett has
discovered the key to
successfully combining
academics with athletics. He
has demonstrated throughout
his scholastic career that you
can add brains with brawn and
come up with a winning
combination. The 6’2”
playmaking guard currently
holds a 3.48 cumulative
average.
Roosevelt, a native of
Augusta, Ga., is the youngest
son of three children bom to
Mr. and Mrs. James Lovett, Sr.
He is a product of the
Academy of Richmond County
High where he exemplified
outstanding ability in sports,
ROTC and academics.
In his senior year in high
school Roosevelt graduated in
the upper half of a class of
390. He has distinguished
himself both in high school and
college by consistently making
the Honor Roll and Dean’s
List. He was awarded the
contraction of the Zulis
experssions, “vala induba,”
meaning “The talking is over.”
The plant is the focus of
attention among the growing
number of analysts, political
and military. Who believed at
this time Minister John
Vorster’s government intended
to build atomic bombs. The
bombs would be used to deter
Black-ruled states to the north
- which have vowed to use all
means including force to
overthrow South Africa’s
ruling white minority.
Some scientists are asking
the question: “What is South
Africa going to do with a
nuclear weapon?” They make a
point that is often raised by
nuclear experts and European
officials. The argument is that
atomic weapons would be of
little use in controlling guerrilla
warfare or urban unrest, the
most likely strategics of Black
militants.
Presidential Scholarship and
was granted an athletic
scholarship to attend Miles
College.
At Academy, Roosevelt
participated in ROTC where he
attained the rank of captain on
the drill team. He also received
the medal for Best Drill and
outstanding leadership.
Roosevelt, who was
captain of the Golden Bears
this season, also captained his
high school team. While
waiting for basketball season to
bounce around, he kept in
shape by high jumping and
running the 440 yard dash on
the track team. He was
honored in track with a first
place trophy for his excellence
in track and field. In basketball
he received trophies for
leadership and academics.
Roosevelt is majoring in
Math and is minoring in
Computer Science. After
graduating he plans to do
graduate work in Engineering
or Electronics.

Cancer Crusade To Begin
The 1977 Residential
Crusade of the American
Cancer Society, Richmond
County Unit begins this week.
Your Crusader will be wearing
a badge with their name on it
identifying them as a volunteer
for the American Cancer
Society.
Your contribution will
support the programs of the
American Cancer Society of
Research, Public and
Professional Education, Service
and Rehabilitation.
According to present
statistics, cancer will strike 1
person in 4. It will strike in 2
out of 3 American homes. That
is why it is so vital for cancer
Crusaders to reach every home
with life-saving information.
No community is exempt
from the disease of cancer. A
cancer spokesman states:
“Every day about 100 Black
Americans die of cancer in the
United States. There is one
Black American dying of
cancer about every 15 minutes.
This year alone, over 36,000
Black Americans will die of
cancer. When we consider these
facts we will want to give
generously to our Crusader.”
Over one-half of the people
that die ot cancer could oe
25c
saved by early diagnosis and
prompt treatment of cancer.
