Faculty Lead Students 3-1 in Annual Battle on the Bluffs Basketball Series
On Thursday, March 15, 2007, the faculty beat the students in the 4th Annual Faculty-Student Basketball Game; a fundraiser for Psi Chi Honor Society. The faculty jumped out to an early 12-6 lead, but a 20-4 run by the students had the faculty gasping for breath. Trailing by as many as ten points, the faculty clawed their way back into the game and tied the score at 38-38 with about a minute left to play. A last second alley oop pass and dunk shot cemented the faculty victory at 40-38. The faculty won this annual classic the first two years (2004 and 2005), and the students won in 2006.Playing for the faculty from the Psychology Department were Drs. Reginald Rackley, Richard Flicker, Rahsheda Perine and Billy Sibley. The faculty cheerleading squad included Psychology Department Chair Dr. Murelle Harrison.
Said one spectator wishing to remain anonymous, "Dem old professors really got game!" Another unidentified spectator was overheard on her cell phone calling 9-1-1 ... "send paramedics, send ambulances, the professors are beating up on the students so bad that there's more red [blood] on the basketball court than [ink] on our research papers." And finally, the faculty cheerleaders taunted the students with cheers like "Our pom poms may be really sagging, but you're the ones whose tails are dragging." Bottom line, a good time was had by all. And the students received a grade of "A" (for effort).

Psychology Club
The Psychology Club was founded by students and faculty to further the study of psychology beyond classroom instruction: to regard psychology as an integral part of their academic life, and to form a base from which each student can associate with those persons who are dedicated to the learning of psychology. Educational guidance is offered in areas such as tutoring in psychology courses, GRE preparatory courses, and review for the Department of Psychology Comprehensives, and career/professional development. We also are a social group and plan many of the Department’s events such as the Senior Rose Reception, a semester event honoring the Psychology Department’s graduating seniors.
Advisors: Dr. Rahsheda D. Perine & Dr. Billy T. Sibley
