See Story on Page 6. Shabazz: Heritage Holds Promise For Blacks Campus, City Police Tip Off To Benefit Children By Ron Ticho Lt. Edward Shupp scored a career-high 35 points and Officer Michael Timmons tallied 31 to lead the Lehigh University Campus Police to a 117-76 victory over the Bethlehem Police Department in a game played at Lehigh's Grace Hall for the benefit of the Jordan Children Trust Fund. The fund was established in memory of the Jordan children's parents, both Bethlehem police officers, who died in an automobile accident. At halftime, Officer Scott Parry of the Bethlehem Police Department and Sgt. Rafael Perex of the Campus Police presented a check for $3,000 on behalf of both departments to the trust fund. Lehigh never trailed in the contest as it opened a 21-point lead early in the second quarter, coasting in at the half ahead 52-33. Sgt. Anthony Casciano led Lehigh with 15 points in the first hald. Bethlehem Officer Daniel Woodard, who had a game-high 41 points, scored 21 in the first half. Lehigh extended its lead to as many as 40 points in the second half, led by Shupp who scored 24 points in the second stanza. Perex added 18 points for Lehigh. Bethlehem was led by Woodard and Officer Stuart Bedics, who scored 14 points. In the battle among the heads of the departments, Lehigh's Chief Eugene Dax scored nine points while Bethlehem Police Commissioner Tom Murphy was shut out. By Faith S. Rosenshein Media Relations Intern At the age of three, a little girl received an important gift from her mother — "Color Me Brown." With the aid of this coloring book, the girl learned about 25 contributors to Black American history even before learning about Jack & Jill or Dick & Jane. Early knowledge of figure such as Phillis Wheatley (the first important black writer in the United States) and Benjamin Banneker (an almanac maker and man of science who helped survey the District of Columbia) helped shape Attallah Shabazz's life. Shabazz, a producer, writer, lecturer and daughter of the late founder of the Organization of Afro-American Unity, Malcolm X. expressed the importance of offering children positive images from an early age. Shabazz spoke to an audience in Lehigh University's Packer Hall, the university center, on February 20 in honor of Black History Month. By learning about these people at an early age. she said from the beginning she knew she could do anything. "I was fed with good food before the ignorance and ills of society were put in my head," said Shabazz. Shabazz said that as black Americans learn during Black History Month to celebrate themselves they must also look at the larger picture, at their role in the game being played. By giving "cool, hip" images in popular, constructive, expanding and uplifting forms, Shabazz said you show children they don't have to be a "druggie" to fit in. "I've been given the gift of heritage, of self-knowledge, of awareness," said Shabazz. She noted that when you say the past is a mirror image of the present, you can make up that past, as those who have worked to get what we have today have done. Shabazz pointed out that people are complaining about the social ills in America but should try to think about what the ride from Africa was like to slaves, as those people lay next to excretement and others crying in pain: how it felt to be taken from their family: and the degrading way they were treated in America. Shabazz said she is not saying that social injustices should be ignored, but that black Americans are now complaining for the sim- plist of things, like money. She explains 100 years ago our grandparents didn't have any money. That was not the determining factor Continued On Page 3> NEH Fellowship Assists Chinese Scholar By Brian Cooke A National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) research fellowship for 1989-90 has been awarded to David Pankenier, assistant professor of modern foreign languages. The fellowship, announced in December, will allow Pankenier to write a book about his research on Chinese history. The book, which will be published by Princeton University Press, will address the concept of the Mandate of Heaven in China—the ancient doctrine that kingship must have divine approval. It will be the first book on this subject to be written in a Western language. Pankenier said the book will be "about ancient Chinese notions of legitimacy: who has a claim to be the ruler of the people and how is the claim substantiated?" NEH fellowships are intended to provide the equivalent of a year's salary, he explained, up to a maximum of $27,500. "The idea is to release you from teaching duties for a year," said Pankenier, who will work at home for a year starting in July. Pankenier's thesis relates the rise and fall of early Chinese dynasties to astronomical David Pankenier phenomena. His focus is on planetary conjunctions, when the five planets visible to the naked eye are clustered within three to seven degrees of each other. "When these spectacular planetary events took place, they were thought to be a message from heaven that a dynastic change was in the offing," Pankenier said. Pankenier compared the Chinese conception to Middle Eastern astrology. "For example, it has been theorized that the star of Bethlehem which heralded the birth of Christ was actually a planetary conjunction," he added. Such conjunctions of all five planets are extremely rare. Only four such events have taken place in the past 5.000 years. Of these, the first three during the second millennium B.C. occurred within 20 years of the overthrow of a ruling Chinese dynasty. "These events can be dated back to the 20th century B.C. through both popular traditions and historical records." he said. The most recent coincidence was in the mid-1 1 th century B.C. According to Chinese legends, the rise of the Chou dynasty was heralded when a great red crow soared down from the sky. clasping a jade scepter in its beak.
