THE UNIVERSITY
Lee Hall
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
Florida A&M University was established by constitutional provisionand
legislative enactment in 1887 as the Colored Normal School. It became a university on September 1, 1953 as a result of a bill passed by the State Legislature
on April 28.
The University is divided into seven schools and colleges-the College of
Education, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Science and
Technology, School of Architecture, School of Business and Industry, School
of Nursing, and School of Pharmacy. In addition, FAMU has 11 academic and
related service functions-Academic Computer Services; Basic Studies; Continuing Education, Evening and Weekend College; Cooperative Education;
Graduate Studies; Honors Program; Instructional Media Center; Libraries;
Sponsored Research; Summer Quarter, and Test Service Bureau.
The spacious campus is spread over an area of 404 acres. The main campus
is located on the highest of seven hills in the StateCapital Cityof Tallahassee.
The campus is made very picturesque by massive oaks, broad, green
lawns, beautiful tropical shrubbery, red brick buildings, and well-placed concrete walks. The location and atmosphere are most ideal for an educational institution. It is a Land Grant institution and one of Florida's nine state-assisted
universities.
The University holds membership in all of the leading accrediting and
professional agencies, including full membership in the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools. A chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, a professional fraternity
for men in education, was established in 1964. The University was admitted to
membership in the American Association of University Women in 1959.
The University went on year-round operation with the trimester system in
1963-64, and changed again to the quarter system in 1967-68.
Dr. Walter L. Smith became the seventh president on September 1, 1977.
The immediate past president, Dr. Benjamin L. Perry, Jr., served from 1968
through August 31, 1977. There have been three acting presidents.
In 1970, by authorization of the Board of Regents, FAMU became the first
and only university in the state to offer a major in Afro-American Studies.
Several projects have been either recently completed or are currently under way for the continued improvement of the University's physical plant.
Foremost among these is the recent completion of a multi-million dollar
women's apartment complex. More recently, the University Commons and
the central library both have undergone extensive renovation. Also, a.$2
million building to house the School of Pharmacy was completed and occupied.
The validity of the investment in physical expansion and development has
been justified by a significant record of educational growth reflected in the
development of the educational program, the increase in student enrollment,
and a corresponding increase in staff.
The necessity to expand the offerings of the University has generally coincided with the physical expansion.
Under the leadership of Dr. Smith, FAMU enters a new era, and the University takes on added significance as it meets the educational needs of its
students and continues to move forward in giant strides as an institution of
higher learning.

DR. WALTER L. SMITH
Seventh President
Dr. Walter L. Smith, former president of Roxbury Community College in
Massachusetts, became the seventh permanent president of Florida A&M
University on September 1.
Dr. Smith, 42, was appointed to head the 90-year-old institution on August
11 by the Florida Board of Regents at a meeting in Tampa. The new president
succeeds Dr. Benjamin L. Perry, Jr., who announced his resignation last
January but remained in the position until Dr. Smith assumed office. Dr. Perry
had served as president since 1968.
Dr. Smith, like his predecessor, Dr. Perry, is a true son of Florida A&M. He
spent much of his youth in Tallahassee in the home of his grandfather, just
south of the campus and he earned two degrees from the institution-the
Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Chemistry, and the Master of Education in Administration and Supervision. Additionally, Dr. Smith served as assistant to the
dean of FAMU's School of Education from February 1972, through January
1973.
Dr. Smith is proud of his FAMU connections and sees them as a basis for
the very diverse educational and professional background that paved his path
to the presidency of his alma mater.
In addition to earning the doctorate in community college administration
from Florida State University in 1974, Dr. Smith has received extensive
specialized preparation. He completed specialized training in Improving
Teacher Competencies at the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratories,
Portland, Oregon, and earned a certificate in African Culture and History at
the African universities of Legon and Ibadan. He received additional
specialized training as a graduate of the Educational Training Consultants
Program of the Institute for Applied Behavioral Science, Bethel, Maine, and
collective bargaining at the University of Chicago's Center for Continuing
Education. Dr. Smith has also studied law at the Woodrow Wilson College of
Law, Atlanta, Ga.
A military veteran, Dr. Smith is also a graduate of the U.S. Army Leadership
Academy at Fort Lee, Va.
Among his diverse work experiences are positions as a teacher of
chemistry and biology in Tampa, management trainee for IBM, provost and
chief negotiator for Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, and executive with the Florida and National Education Associations.
Dr. Smith is credited with establishing the first statewide center for human
relations in Florida under sponsorship of the Florida Education Association.
The FEA presented him its leadership award in human relations in 1973. He has
published and edited several papers and other works, and holds membership
in Phi Delta Kappa. His other affiliations and memberships include the
National Council on Research and Development, the Board of Education Advisors of the Permanent Charity Foundation, and the board of directors of the
Council of Black ."merican Affairs.
He has served as court appointee of the Citywide Coordinating Council of
Boston, Mass., and as Governor's appointee on the Post-Secondary Education
Commission of Massachussetts.
Dr. Smith is married to the former Jeraldine Williams of Tampa, and they
have four children, John, 18; twins Andre' and Salesia, 12; and Walter, II,
four.

THE COACHES
AND STAFF
A
I
RUDY HUBBARD
Head Football Coach
Since coming to Florida A&M at the beginning of the 1974 season, Rudy
Hubbard has compiled a record of 21-10-2. That calculates to be a 64 percent
winning rate.
Actually, since some regard a tie as neither a win nora loss, excluding the
two ties, then, Hubbard's winning percentage.figure jumps to 68 . . . and
with his overall football program developing into what he desires, that figure
in all probability will climb even higher.
During his three-year tenure, Hubbard has redirected the FAMU football
fortunes and under his leadership the Rattlers have regained that respectability that had been a tradition for so long..
In that initial season, 1974, Hubbard coached the Rattlers to a 6-5 mark,
their first winning record since a similar 6-5 season in 1971. In 1975 his Rattlers
were 9-2 the first time the Rattlers had won as many as nine games in a single
season since 1964. Considering that the team lost only three games in 1976 (63-2), that is the second best record the Rattlers have had since 1969, bettered
only by Hubbard's 1975 slate.
With a background as a former player and coach under Woody Hayes at
Ohio State, Hubbard brought in a winning attitude. He is a believer in sound,
fundamental football and knows how to recruit the horses to make his
program go.
While at Ohio State, Hubbard personally recruited Archie Griffin, who
later became the only one ever to win the Heisman Trophy twice, Cornelius
Greene and John Hicks. Greene has been the MVP in theRose Bowl while
Hicks won the Outland and Lombardi trophies before entering the National
Football League.
An all-conference and all-county performer in high school basketball and
football for three years, Hubbard was player-of-the-year as a freshman at Ohio
State.
A knee injury sidelined the running back for most of his sophomore year,
but he fought back and was in uniform before season's end. He was a starter all
his junior year and really blossomed during his senior year, averaging 5.3 yards
per carry, scoring three touchdowns, catching 13 passes for 98 yards and
averaging 17.1 yards per attempt on kickoff returns.
Hubbard was drafted by Montreal of the Canadian Football League in
1968 but forewent a professional football career when he was offered a job as
backfield coach for Ohio State. Hubbard said he'wanted somedayto become a
head coach and felt his chances were far greater as an assistant to Woody
Hayes.
He joined the Buckeye staff in 1968 and that year Ohio State won the
national championship. He has coached Jim Otis, Leo Hayden and John
Brockington, all now prominent figures in the NFL.
Hubbard hails from Hubbard, Ohio, where he attended Hubbard High
-School (the names are coincidence). He was recruited by over 60 colleges
before finally deciding on Ohio State. Likewise, he has been recruited by the
Atlanta Falcons and the University of Hawaii since he's been at Florida A&M,
but he graciously declined the offers to remain at the helm of the Rattlers.
Hubbard is married to the former Belinda Schwartz and is the father of
one son, Sean, and one daughter, Jolanda.

THE PLAYERS
FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY
1977 FOOTBALL PREVIEW
In assessing the Florida A&M Rattlers for the 1977 season, one encounters
three punctuation marks, each of which could be a clue to how the newest
edition of the Rattlers will fare.
First, the asterisk, which follows the 6-3-2 record of 1976. In actual production on the field the Rattlers were 5-4-2 but a forfeit of all its games by Alabama
State turned a 16-13 defeat into a win*.
Next, comes the question mark. The Rattlers were supposed to be much
better than their 1976 record. What happened? That is still as much of a question to head coach Rudy Hubbard as it isto anyone else."I guess itwas just one
of those situations in which every little thing that could have happened, did
happen to us," he says.
An exclamation point of anxious anticipation prevails in the atmosphere
of Hubbard's discussion of his 1977 team. "I can hardly wait to get started," he
bubbled before the preseason drills began. His excitement is understandable.
With most of the horses back from last year and a banner crop of freshman
recruits coming in, Hubbard could have the combination for instant success.
OFFENSE
"This will be by far the strongest offensive team we have had since I've
been here," Hubbard exudes. The coach said the line is the key. "We should
be more consistent because we have the talented players to do what we want
done."
Line-Anchored by three all-conference performers, the offensive line
could be one of the best in the Southeast, bar none. Senior Bruce Savage (6-1,
243) and junior Benny Mills (6-2, 240) were All-Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference at tackle while soph Tyrone McGriff (6-1, 250) was AllSIAC as a freshman guard. The other guard spot probably will be manned by
returning starter Steve Johnson, 6-0, 245 sophomore.
Senior Wayne Campbell (6-5, 265) is giving Mills a run for the money at
one of the tackle slots while Hubbard expects other tackle help from converted fullback Harold Sessoms (6-2, 225) as well as incoming freshmen Kirk
Johnson (6-2, 285) and William Woolfork (6-1, 280). Gus Collins (6-3, 240) and
Charles King (6-2, 216) are two other new men who might see dutyat guard.
The center position could be in its best health in three years. Junior Kiser
Lewis (6-3, 202) and sophomore Autry Hayes (6-2, 215) are battling neck and
neck for the job and the battle could continue throughout the season. Both
are good.
Dependable Mike Sorey (6-3, 205 senior) returns for the third year as starting tight end and he will have solid backup help in David Greene (6-3, 205
junior) and incoming freshman Terry Davis (6-2, 210).
Wide Receivers-Lithe Kenny Bogins (6-2,171 junior) returns at split end
but could be challenged by fleet freshman Wyman Daniels (5-9,165). Smooth
Chris Douglas, who at 6-0, 175 is a devastating blocker as well as a reliable
receiver, returns as a starter at wingback, but he will be challenged by secondyear man Melvin McFayden (6-1, 195) who also plays tailback, and new man
Bobby Hawkins, a 5-10,175 burner who would love to be in the same backfield
with brother Clarence, a senior fighting for the fullback slot.
Quarterback-The Rattlers' most valuable player for 1976 was Albert
Chester, who returns this year to reclaim his old job. Chester (6-1, 175) has
battled fellow junior Rickey Pope for two years already for the QB job and no
19
letup is in sight as both men are determined to be No. 1. Another junior, 5-10,
185 Robert James, had a fine spring and now his hat is in the ring for the,
quarterback battle royale.
But lo! Coming into the picture is Sammy Knight, the 5-9,175, lightningquick magician who led Tallahassee Godby to the Florida 4-A championship
and was named the state's co-player of the year for his heroics. "Knight is a
winner," said Hubbard, and winners usually find somewhere to play.
Fullback-Clarence Hawkins (6-0, 195) is returning for his third year as
either a part or full time starter and looks to land the top spot this year. Converted tailback Mike Thomas (6-0, 191) is providing an unexpected challenge
for Hawkins and Hubbard belatedly discovered the reason: "Mike was a
fullback in high school."
Others vying for playing time include sophomore Dan Oliver (5-11,190),
sophomore Keith Marshall (5-11, 190) and freshman Prest George (6-0,210).
Tailback-lke Williams (5-11, 180) has found a home here and the junior
hopes he can fight off the challenges of sophomores Melvin McFayden (6-1,
195) and speedy Wilbur Gaines (5-8, 175), as well as freshmen Mike Solomon
(5-11, 190), Reggie Delaine (6-3,190) and Carl Warren (5-9,190) who probably
will be the fastest Rattler runner in four years.
Kick Returns-Ike Williams and Sammy Knight, both breakaway threats,
will handle the return chores.
DEFENSE
If the 1977 Rattlers have a weakness, it's defense, and Hubbard says the
offense might have to compensate. "If we control the ball offensively.., that's
good defense," he reasons.
But, then, the defense might not be all that bad. "I'm confident we won't
be any worse than last year, and I hope we're better," said defensive coordinator Fred Goldsmith.
It won't be easy. Replacing starters Curt Parnell (monster) Kenny Mullens
(tackle) and Earl Goodman (end) will be difficult though there are some
returnees who might rise to the occasion.
Line-The Grady Bunch, brothers Jeff (6-4, 217 senior) and Frank (6-2, 220
sophomore) appear to be the front runners at end but they are hotly pursued
by walk-on Ricky Anderson (6-1,195) and junior Sheldon Hodge (6-4,194), as
well as freshmen Greg McRoy (6-4, 230) and Steve Owens (6-2, 215).
The Rattlers' outstanding defensive lineman of a year ago, Tim Chavers (60, 255) can play either tackle, but the sophomore probably will play on the left
side and leave Algie Hendrieth (6-2, 243 junior), Willie Spencer (6-0, 230
sophomore), Willie Perry (6-3, 205 soph), and freshmen Eddrick Johnson (6-2,
265), Andy Robinson (6-3, 220), and George Williams (6-3,220) to battlefor the
other spot.
At the nose guard post are Harrell Oliver (6-1,195 junior) and senior Winfred Allen (6-4, 215). Also, freshman Kenny Parker, who was the state
heavyweight wrestling champ at 6-2, 220, could log playing time. Converted
tackle Ephram Hagins (6-4, 225) could be overpowering if he adjusts well to the
position change.
Linebacker-This position poses the biggest part of the defensive question. "We'll be about the same as last year," said Goldsmith,"basically because
we are starting out with the same people." Senior Joe Yates (5-9, 199) is all
heart, and sidekick Charles Floyd (6-1, 207) is also a senior and probably the
strongest Rattler in camp.
Then there are freshmen Jesse Spaulding (6-1,215), Monty Dale (5-11,200),
both of whom could play early, along with Alonzo Johnson (6-3, 215) and Greg
McRoy.
20
Secondary-"We should be better in the backfield," Goldsmith said. One
of the reasons could be at cornerback where junior Warren Saddler (6-2,165)
and sophomore Daryle Tyson (6-2, 180) are solidly entrenched. Backing up
Saddler will be Clifford Price (6-1, 175 junior), soph Donald Shockley (6-2,180)
and freshman Gifford Ramsey (5-11,175). Tyson wasa starter a year ago until he
was injured. Sophomore Terry King (6-2,175) stepped in and filled the role and
will be back in the thick of things again.
Arthur Jones moves from safety to monster this year and the 6-3, 188
senior is the frontrunner for that spot. He will be backed up by Price and Joe
Harvey.
Tom Lane suffered a knee injury a year ago but the 6-1, 165 junior came
back to have an excellent spring; thus, he presently holds the edge for the
safety spot. King and walk-on Tony Scott also had a good spring at safety.
Specialists-Sophomore Harold Neely handled the punts and kickoffs last
season but do-it-all Sammy Knight could be aserious challenger for those two
jobs as well as for the placekicking job held by Herb Reinhard. Freshman
Wyman Daniels also does some punting.
SUMMARY
With a potent offense, the Rattlers should field an exciting team. Even if
the defense should falter, it is figured that the offense could put enough points
on the board to overcome the defensive deficiency.
If that should happen, it could be a very good year, and FAMU football
followers could come up with a serious case of Rattlermania...period, exclamation point.

1976 FLASHBACK
Florida A&M 14, Morris Brown 14
ATLANTA, Ga., October 16-This trip to Atlanta left the Rattlers with an
empty feeling as they had to settle for a 14-14 standoff against the game
Wolverines.
Over 15,000 partisan Morris Brown fans witnessed the stalemate and the
pro-Wolverine rooters went away claiming a moral victory, especially after the
Rattlers had crushed their favorites 52-0 the year before.
Morris Brown drew first blood early in the opening period but FAMU
blitzed right back to take the lead when James Early blasted over from eight
yards out. A three-yard pass from Albert Chester to Chris Douglas put the
Rattlers on top but they couldn't hold the lead and the Wolverines evened the
tally with a late third quarter touchdown.

1976 FLASHBACK
Tennessee State 21, Florida A&M 3
TALLAHASSEE, October 23-Tennessee State quarterback Austin Thompson injected a little venom of his own as he led his 10th ranked Tigers to a 21-3
win over the Rattlers before an estimated 27,500 in Campbell Stadium.
Thompson passed nine yards for a second-quarter touchdown and ran 10
yards for another in the third quarter to spark the victory. The Rattlers' only
score came midway the second quarter when Herb Reinhard booted a 28-yard
field goal.

1976 FLASHBACK
Florida A&M 28, Tuskegee 28
TAMPA, October 30-Coach Rudy Hubbard's Rattlers played 60 minutes
of game football with a lot of heart and anticipation, but bore no fruits for their
labors as they finished in a 28-28 tie with Tuskegee Institute's Golden Tigers.
Thus, Tuskegee remains the only team Hubbard has not been able to defeat
since his tenure as head coach of the Rattlers.
Each team scored one touchdown in each of the four quarters, with the
Rattlers blowing the chance to take the lead and perhaps win the game when
Herb Reinhard's field goal attempt sailed wide from 27 yards out with only
seconds remaining in the game.

1976 FLASHBACK
Bethune-Cookman 34, Florida A&M 0
ORLANDO, November 20-Overpowered and stripped of their poise,
Florida A&M University's Rattlers suffered a 34-0 defeat at the hands of a determined Bethune-Cookman squad that apparently could do no wrong on this
cold, rainy night in the Tangerine Bowl.
The Wildcats shut down the Rattlers' vaunted rushing attack and limited
them to only 67 yards overland, and another harmless 123 through the air.

CLASSIC
Florida A&M 26, Central State 21
MIAMI, December 4-Finally able to get its offense back in gear, Florida
A&M scored with only 3:41 left in the game to pull out a 26-21 victory over
mammoth Central State of Wilberforce, Ohio, in the 44th Orange Blossom
Classic in Miami's renovated Orange Bowl Stadium.
The final score came when tailback Ralph Kyles took a pitchout from
quarterback Albert Chester, the game's most valuable player, and swept right
for a six-yard touchdown. Nevertheless, the Rattlers' victory was not
guaranteed until less than a minute remained when defensive end Earl Goodman fell on a fumble by Central State quarterback Ed Houston at the FAMU 20yard line.

THE FABULOUS MARCHING "100" BAND
From its meager beginnings in 1892, the FAMU Band has become an institution of learning and a legend of memory for thousands. Its program and structure are diversified-yet specialized. Its motto is "Perfection in music, highest
quality of character, and precision in marching."
From 1892 until the early 1940's, the FAMU Band flourished. The outbreak of
World War II heavily drained the male population on the campus and a 16piece band played only for the traditional line of march to the chapel.
After the war, FAMU, like the nation, began rebuilding internally and healing the wounds imposed by war. The man chosen forthe task of rebuilding the
band was William P. Foster, who joined the faculty as directorof bands in 1946.
Young Foster's influence and persuasive powers were soon felt and respected
on the campus. Soon followed the rapid development of the Marching "100,"
a name that would later become internationally famous.
Foster departed from standard band tactics and techniques and began a
series of innovations and experiments that have earned the envy and imitation
of bands throughout the nation.
Perhaps its first and greatest single innovation was the Marching "100's" introduction of its "spine-tingling" fast cadence. In contrast to its "slow-one"
counterparts that range from 24 to 80 steps per minute, the fast cadence has
been clocked on numerous occasions at a fantastic 329 steps per minute.
Other creative innovations and/or elaborations on traditional techniques
include intricate dance steps emphasizing "mass movement" as opposed to
"'static footwork," fancy arm, leg and instrument movements, deceptive facing movements, four dimensional figures formations, quick changeor"neonflash" formations, precision drill, kaleidoscopic patterns and dance steps interwoven into one concise routine, arranging and scoring techniques to yield
a spectrum of sound comparable to that of a symphonic band, and a full percussion ensemble as opposed to the usual snare drum, cymbal combination.
Perhaps the first signal honor that gave national recognition to the band was
an invitation and subsequent participation in the 1950 Festival of States Annual
Parade, becoming the first Negro band to be so honored in the then 29-yearold festival.
The group made its national television debut during the 1963 Pro Playoff
Bowl in Miami's Orange Bowl Stadium in January. The demand was so great
after the unprecedented half-time and post-game shows that the group was
invited back the following year. Both performances were carried live nationally by CBS Sports.
just two weeks prior to its second performance at the Pro Playoff Bowl, the
band became international in its acclaim when it performed in Nassau,
Bahamas, on a cultural exchange program.
The FAMU Band made its third national TV appearance at the NFL Championship Game in Cleveland (Ohio) Stadium December 27, 1964. This performance was witnessed by 78,000 people in the stadium and a TV audience estimated at 70,000,000. Tributes from all over the country came in, lauding the
members for such a superb performance.

ORANGE BLOSSOM CLASSIC
Would you believe the first Orange Blossom Classic was conceived less than
two weeks prior to that first game between Florida A&M and Howard University in 1933?
Well, it was, and if it weren't for the fast moving and talking ofthe lateJ. R. E.
Lee, Jr., there probably would be no OBC today.
Lee said the idea was not original but it was he who thought of developing it
for Florida. "I really conceived the idea because we used to play at Howard in
an annual Thanksgiving Day Classic," he once said, "and I thought we could
develop the same thing in Florida. We knew thata top notch opponentwould
be the key to its success or failure so our first choice'was Howard."
There was little doubt that Howard was a worthy opponent and would be a
magic drawing card, but things weren't quite that simple, "When we invited
them they turned us down because they were playing Lincoln University on
the Thursday night before our scheduled OBC, which was to be played two
nights later," Lee said.
"After being turned down by the Howard Athletic Association I contacted
Emmitt J. Scott, secretary-treasurer at Howard, and did a little bargaining. I told
him I'd have a pullman coach waiting in Atlantic City when they finished their
Thursday game and all they'd have to do was board. They agreed. If they had
turned down that offer there would be no Classic today," Lee added.
According to Lee, that first OBC game was played at Jacksonville's Myrtle
Ave. Baseball Park before a capacity crowd of 2,000. The Rattlers won, 9-6.
In a few years the OBC had outgrown the Myrtle Ave. Park. Meanwhile, the
Gator Bowl was built. "We tried to get the Gator Bowl, but they wouldn't let us
have it," he said.
So, the OBC was moved to Orlando's Tinker Field, which had a capacity of
6,000. The fast-rising popularity of the Classic soon was demanding new
quarters and another move was made...this time to Tampa's Phillips Field with
its 16,000 seats. Here the OBC prospered until FAMU was invited to use
Miami's Orange Bowl in 1947. That first appearance in the Orange Bowl drew
17,000.
Traditionally, the spectacular has been the Black Rose Bowl, the ultimate in
Black college post-season football. The Rattlers' opponents have been the
class of the Black colleges. In 1970, however, OBC officials demonstrate4 the
progressive attitude of the Classic by breaking tradition and inviting Jacksonville (Ala.) State, the first predominantly white team ever to participate in the
event.
