Tigers Hitting the Weights
The Savannah State football
program is busy in the off
season hitting the weight
room. The university recent
ly opened a new weight
room in Willcox Gym.
According to head coach
Robby Wells, the team
works out at 5 a.m. on
Tuesday and Thursday and
at 6 a.m. on Monday and
Wednesday. Wells said the
players are done by 8 a.m.
so they can go eat breakfast.
He added that the team has
study hall Mon.-Thurs. from
6-8 and that last semester 13
Tigers had at least a 3.0
grade point average and
James Brisco made a 4.0.

research process that will
serve them well in their sci
entific careers”, said
Shields.
Three other faculty
members in the Department
of Chemistry and Physics
and the Department of
Biology received a second
NSF-RUI grant for
$195,421. Assistant profes
sors Brent Feske and Cliff
Padgett in chemistry and
physics and Scott Mateer in
biology are conducting
research in the area of bio
catalysis and the synthesis of
asymmetric molecules,
which are notably used in
pharmaceuticals.
The grant will allow
Feske, principal investigator
of the grant, Padgett and
Mateer, co-principal investi
gators, to employee five stu
dents to conduct summer
research projects over the
course of the three-year
grant.
“One of the broader
impacts of the grant is that
we will be able to offer stu
dents summer jobs conduct
ing research”, said Feske.
The research that Feske and
his team are conducting
involves the development of
purer compounds through
techniques such as DNA
cloning and the manipula
tion of non-pathogenic E.
coli bacteria.
The fermentation
process to achieve this is a
relatively new field of green
chemistry, which aims to
transform the process of
pharmaceutical manufactur
ing to be clean, safe and sim
ilar to large-scale beer pro
duction.
In addition, Feske’s
grant will enable collabora
tive research among differ
ent academic areas at
AASU, including biology,
chemistry and physics, and
potentially computer science
and information technology.
Faculty and students
involved in the project will
come together to discuss
research progress every two
weeks.
“When students in one
area like chemistry and
physics get an opportunity to
learn what students in anoth
er discipline, like biology,
are working on, they get a
much more diverse back
ground and better under
standing of the research”,
said Feske.

taking effect, I see how
eagerly they cry out His
name to save them and how
the tears flow. I see how
some of them are set free of
demon spirits, and so many
wonderful moves of God’s
spirit for them. When my
partner Barbara Brown and I
get there, we always ask for
the worst units. The officers
always say “we are so glad
you are here! We need you
all over there!” Barbara and I
know that without Jesus, we
can’t do anything, but unto
him who is able to do
exceedingly, abundantly
above all that we ask or think
according to the power that
worketh in us(Ephesians
3:20).
I am confident in
knowing that God is not a
man that He should he, nei
ther the son of man that He
should repent...(Numbers
23:19). His word is spirit and
it is life, and he proves that
to us as we believe and live
it.
God said to me one day,
“Let my word have evidence
in your life’” and I wondered
how and what he meant for it
to be. He began to show me
by performing miracles in
my life and giving tangible
evidence of them all.
Each day as I live, He
proves to me that His word is
true because of life.
You see, I died on the
operating table November
23, 1990 at Memorial
Hospital while four heart
specialists were performing
an angioplasty to clear out
my main artery.
While operating, a
blood clot formed in my
heart and then ruptured
blocking everything. The
doctors said we cant explain
it, we can’t understand!”.
They wrote it up in in the
medical journal, and includ
ed pictures.
That was one of several
things that our Gracious God
has done for me through the
power of His word because
he gave me John 11:25-26,
“I am the ressurection and
the life, he who believeth in
my though he may die, yet
shall he live. And whoever
lives and believes in Me
shall never die”.
Do you believe this?
Glory be to God! I did and
still do. All Glory to God, the
Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost, Amen.!

The Women's Army
Auxiliary Corps (WACs)
6888th Central Postal
Directory Battalion was a
World War II unit.
Composed of approxi
mately 850 African
American women, the
unit was formed in the
days when the U.S.
Armed Services was seg
regated. They were the
only black women to
serve with the U.S. mili
tary overseas during
World War II.
The group was
charged with handling
military mail, and was
based at a boarding
school in Birmingham,
England.
“For the morale of
Soldiers in war time, only
one thing counts more
than somewhere to sleep
or something to eat,” said
Freedom Team Salute's
Colonel Griffith. “That
one thing is mail from
home - holiday greetings,
photographs, regular let
ters, and packages filled
with items from relatives
and friends. The
Battalion broke all
records for redistribution
of mail to front line
troops in the European
theatre.”
Freedom Team
Salute was established in
2005 by the Army Chief
of Staff and the Secretary
of the Army, which gives
the public the opportunity
to thank all U.S. Army
Veterans for their service
by recognizing them with
Commendations.
The program also
honors and recognizes the
Parents, Spouses,
Employers, and
Supporters of Active
Duty, Army Reserve, and
National Guard Soldiers.
The Commendations
consist of a personalized
letter and certificate
signed by Pete Geren, the
Secretary of the Army and
General George W. Casey
Jr., the Army Chief of
Staff. Honorees also
receive lapel pins and The
Salute, a quarterly
newsletter that contains
information of interest to
the Army family.
Freedom Team
Salute has honored over
1.9 million Army
Veterans, Spouses,
Parents, Supporters, and
Employers since its
launch.

Each of the

Through
February, 82 percent
of the waste from
the project was recy
cled, Smith said,
including wood,
concrete, brick,
metal and plastic.
That’s about 460
tons that will be
recycled instead of
going into the land
fill.
There are 11 build
ings in Phase I, and
all are erected and
under roof. All 787
windows have been
installed.
Buildings 1, 3 and 5
will be completed in
April, and all 11
will be completed by
the end of August.
The community
center, which will
include the manage
ment office, a com
mercial washer-
dryer laundry area
and a recreational
area, will begin to
open in May and the
community garden
will be open in
August.
Curbs are already in
place in many areas.
“There are opportu
nities for everyone
in urban green liv
ing,” Brockman said.
“At Sustainable
Fellwood, you can
be a part of the
green revolution.
