Remembering King

    

Lively music, well-deserved awards and a thoughtful speech signified the University's observance of Martin Luther King Day Jan. 15 in Richardson Auditorium. At left, the New York Daily News Carribeat CASYM Steel Orchestra, a group of 50 young people aged 6 through 18, performed its unique blend of reggae, calypso, pop, jazz and classical music.

Above, Robert Durkee, vice president for public affairs, presented twins Kyle and Ryan Czepiel, fourth-graders at Antheil School in Ewing, with their first-place award in the annual poster contest for students in grades 4-6. The two received T-shirts featuring their winning entry and a $100 check. Awards also were presented to winners of an essay contest for students in grades 7-12. Both contests centered on the theme of the inauguration and providing President Bush with ideas on improving race relations and achieving King's goals.

In her featured address, Vice President for Campus Life Janet Dickerson said, "We must, together, find a way to remove those elements of race and class prejudice that threaten to impair our relationships and damage our communities from within. We have a cognitive understanding of these issues; now we must work toward reconciliation and sustainable solutions!"
