Greetings from the President

Alabama State College

Alabama State College appreciates the honor of being
the guest opponent for the Homecoming game of Savannah

between these two institutions. Your President is a former staff
member of Alabama State College. Your First Lady, the wife
of the President, is both a graduate and former staff member
of Alabama State College. Our relations are both pleasant
and cherished.

We wish for you a most satisfying occasion. May the
best team win.

Henry Council Trenholm,

The Savannah Slate College Bulletin is published at Savannah, Ga.. 6 times
yearly in October, December, Februarv, March, April, and May by Savannah
Slate College. Second Class mail privileges authorized at Savannah, Ga.

ABOUT THIS ISSUE

"Costumes Through the Ages" is the Home-
coming theme for this year. Certainly, a re-
view of man's eternal fascination with his
external appearance is both educational and
revealing educational in that such a survey
re-emphasizes the mystic communion between
people of all climes and of all ages; and re-
vealing in that such retrospect points up the
dichotomy that sometimes exists between
man's extrinsic appearance and his intrinsic
worth.

The headdress and standing ruff of the
Elizabethan costume may be discerned in the
cover sketch of Dorothy Davis, senior general
science major, who reigns as Miss Savannah
State of 1957.

Background statuary and paintings in some
of the pictures are through the courtesy of
the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences,
Savannah, Georgia. The following persons
made costumes and props available for some
of the photographs: Misses Althea V. Morton
and Althea Williams, Mrs. Louise Owens,
Robert Holt, Robert Merritt, and Mrs. Rich-
ardine Mingo, '56, instructor at Springfield
Terrace School.

THOMAS Carlyle, clarion-voiced prophet
of Cheyne Row in Victorian England,
stressed the vestural quality of life in
the great metaphysical bouquet that is his
Sartor Resartus (The Tailor Retailored).
The symbolical conception of man and na-
ture was at the core of the transcendental
philosophy, which reached its peak in Eng-
land and in America during the nineteenth

The poetic expression of this clothes-
philosophy is crystallized in the Earth-
Spirit's song in Goethe's Faust:

In Being's Flood's, in Action's Storms,
I walk and work, above, beneath.
Work and weave in endless motion!

Birth and death,
An infinite Ocean;
A seizing and giving
The Fire of Living:

Tis thus at the roaring Loom of Time

I Ply,

And weave for God the garment Thou
seest Him by.

The two great garments of God, Man
and Nature, may be seen at Savannah
State College, where dedicated faculty and
students pursue truth that transcends man's
sense perception but not his knowledge,
where the genius of man is evidenced in
the magnificent edifices that rise in the
midst of natural splendor, where the vital
union in the universe is made apparent
when students become aware of the "glory
that was Greece" through the
language of sculpture.

MESSAGE FOR HOMECOMING 13S7

HOMECOMING celebration at Savannah
State College is not at all a matter of routine.
To have visited the College last year for the
celebration or any other previous year would
not be sufficient to give one an adequate con-
cept of Homecoming for this institution. Each
year finds the College and the celebration
different and interesting. The rapid growth
of the College, the changes in the physical
plant, and the admission of more than two
hundred fifty freshmen serve as a basis for
the uniqueness of each year. The College is
delighted to welcome alumni, former students,
patrons, and friends to see and enjoy the Col-
lege as it exists in 1957.

The active participation of the alumni has
been one of the areas in which the College
has made unusual progress. Loyal alumni
have been liberal in their expressions of con-
fidence in and loyalty to the institution.
Through the program of scholarship aid, the
alumni have made a genuine contribution to
the College. The entire student body, faculty,
recipients of the scholarship aid, and the
Board of Regents have benefited by the in-
terest and effective participation of the alum-
ni in the development of a finer and more
effective educational program here at Savan-
nah State College.

The College desires that all who partici-
pate in Homecoming this year will find the
occasion one to be cherished. It is hoped that
the activities including the football game will
be a credit to the College and to our guests
of Claflin College.

W. K. Payne
President

iVi AN, according to Carlyle, is the trans-
cendental unity of apperception. Through
his perceptive faculties, he can pierce the
visible cloak of Nature; through his in-
tuitive powers, he can find the answer to
the question "Who am I?" in Nature and
in himself.

A felicitous blending of the external
and the intuitive is found in William Ken-
neth Payne, who has watched the inner
and outer garments of Savannah State Col-
lege reveal themselves in a dynamic and

Like the Renaissance courtier Hamlet,
Dr. Payne exemplifies the qualities of the
scholar and the gentleman. The important
business of making the College a vantage
ground for learning is foremost with him.
Always impeccably and tastefully attired,
he sets a pattern of demeanor that his
staff and students deem worthy of emu-

But, unlike the melancholy Danish
prince, Dr. Payne is a man of conviction
who must convert this conviction into con-
duct. He symbolizes the precept that man
must do the duty that lies nearest him,
and he has achieved spiritual enfranchise-
ment because of his acknowledgment that
the "ideal world" is contained in this
"so solid-seeming Earth." His life is de-
voted to translating the real world of Sa-
vannah State College into ;
the ideal one of which so
only.

And of the one who

her gentle qualities robe her
ness and courtesy.

ONCE again, it is Homecoming,
and the alumni are gathered to greet
old friends, make new ones, inspect
the physical changes, attend the
football game and renew their
pledge of allegiance to their Alma
Mater. There may he those who
returned for reasons other than
those mentioned, but whatever the
reason, welcome home!

During the past twelve months,
your National Alumni Association
has been active in organizing new
Chapters and encouraging those al-
ready organized. The most recent
Chapter to our ranks was organized
in Washington, D. C. But, even with
all of this fine work, still too many
of us are unorganized and not ac-
tively engaged in alumni affairs.

To you, already at work for Sa-
vannah State College through or-
ganized Chapters, go our thanks
and congratulations; to the unor-
ganized, is the challenge to be up
and doing in your local commun-
ity. The services of Prince Jackson,
Jr., our Alumni Secretary, are
available to you.

Let us unite ourselves and work
to build a greater Savannah State
College through our Alumni Schol-
arship Fund. All contributions may
be sent to the Office of the Alumni
Secretary.

Respectfully yours,

"The plain fact is that the college teachers
of the United Stairs, through their inadequate
salaries, are subsidizing the education of
students, and in some cases the luxuries of
their families, by an amount which is more
than double the grand total of alumni gifts,
corporate gifts, and endowment income of all
colleges and universities combined."

Savannah State College Alumna
Regional Teacher of the Year

On

ind an

e more, a Savannah State College Alumna has been
'Teacher of the Year" for Region 11. Mrs. Mazie
W. Robinson, a Home Economics teacher at Scott Junior
High School, has received this distinctive honor, and thereby
symbolizes all teachers in the seventeen counties of Region 11.
This recent honor conies as a result of Mrs. Robinson's having
been chosen "Teacher of the Year" by the faculty of Scott
Junior High School and Chatham County Teachers Asso-
ciation.

Mrs. Robinson has rendered many noteworthy services to
local, state, and national professional organizations. She is
the chairman of the social committee of Chatham County
Teachers Association, chairman of the ninth grade Home-
making Curriculum Planning Committee for the revision of
the Homemaking curriculum for Chatham County, co-chair-
man of Walter S. Scott P.T.A. Advisory committee,
energetic advisor for the N.H.A. She has served o
statewide committees and presided over the general
at the last state vocational teachers convention. She was a
voting delegate at the American Vocational Association con-
vention which convened in Atlantic City, October 1963.

She has exhibited genuine interest in the community and
has displayed untiring efforts in community projects. These
services include community projects dealing with family prob-
lems, teaching classes for Red Cross and for the Chatham
County Health Department, and fund raising drives for youth
organizations. She is a member of St. Paul C.M.E. Church,
and makes unique contributions to the church through the
St. Paul C.M.E. Service Guild.

Travel and educational tours of many states in our coun-
try, Cuba, and Mexico serves as a background for adding
color to the progressive teaching methods used by Mrs. Rob-
inson. In January 1964, a poll made by an English class at
Scott Junior High School showed that she received the high-
est number of votes from students naming her the "Most
Outstanding Teacher."

Editorial

During the last seventeen years, Savannah State College
has been guided by four different Presidents. Dr. Benjamin
F. Hubert left the College in June of 1947, and was succeeded
by Dr. James A. Colston. Dr. Colston left in August of 1949.
and was succeeded by Dr. William K. Payne. Dr. P.iyne died
in July of 1963, and was succeeded by Dr. Howard Jordan.
Jr. (Actually, we have had five Presidents, because Dean of
Faculty, Timothy C. Meyers, served as acting President for
about three months while the Board of Regents was in the
process of appointing Dr. Jordan.)

During these seventeen years, the alumni of the college
have been becoming more active and strengthening our
alumni organization. Although we are stronger today than
at any time in our organization's history, we do not have
nearly ten percent of our alumni actively participating in our
alumni organization.

Why do Alumni neglect their Alma Mater? There have
been many reasons given, and this alumni neglect is suffered
by ail colleges, from the outstanding Ivy Colleges down to
the smallest of the extremely poor private colleges. Savannah
State then, is no exception in this area.

During the past seven months, we have seen an upward
trend of alumni participation in our Alma Mater's affairs.
There seems to be an entirely different kind of attitude
towards our College, and Alumni are now working harder
than ever before. The changes in organization to allow
District units have proved to be a great unifying factor in
the counties within 100 miles of the College. The actual
organization of the other districts should really move us
forward. The creation of the Office of the Executive Vice-
President has helped the organization tremendously, and is
being administered by one of our most capable alumni, Ben-

jamin F. Lewis, "53." The individual Alu
working harder and the leadership is beco

vely

As we enter the "Howard Jordan, Jr." era of our Alma
Mater- it seems that we are definitely on the march. Dr.
Jordan is making every effort to push us forward, along with
his administration. We are sure that the next few years will
find us, not only strong, but far more generous than at any
time in our history. We are sure that alumni everywhere
will join the march, and help us move our Alma Mater
forward.

GREETING
TO ALUMNI

/ wish to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the officers and
members of the Alumni Association along with members of the administra-
tion, faculty, and student body, for the warm reception and strong support
which I, as your sixth President, have received in my first year in office at
Savannah State College. With the enthusiastic spirit which is evident among
the alumni and the College family, it is certain that Savannah State College
will move rapidly ahead in taking its rightful place among the leaders in
the educational world. As we come to the close of our first year in office,
we pledge to you our every effort towards the development of a program
of academic and extra-class excellence to ivhich all alumni members and
friends can look with pride.

We especially want to thank the alumni for the generous support and
contributions to our National Defense Education Act Scholarship Fund.
Through this medium, the College will be able to offer greater assistance
to young men and women in getting an education, which they may otherwise
not have been able to afford.

Elseivhere in this Bulletin, you will note the status of our Building
Program. I am happy to report that it is moving along according to schedule.

Mrs. Jordan and Judy join me in ivishing for all alumni, faculty, stu-
dents, and friends the best of health and happiness during the summer vaca-
tion. You have, with you always, our prayers and sincere good wishes.

Summer Science Training
Program Announced

Dr. Charles Pratt, Head, Department
of Chemistry, announces the opening
of the Summer Science Training Pro-

Thii

to

provide opportunities for thirty high
school students of outstanding ability in
chemistry to spend eight weeks on the
campus for advanced study in a college
environment.

The students will be able to study
subject matter in modern chemistry
which is not generally included in high
school curricula. The students will fol-
low a course that will include individual
projects, and experiments emphasizing
quantitative measurements. It is antici-
pated that with the utilization of mod-
ern instruments the experiments will be
more intriguing. Standardized tests in
chemistry, science and mathematics will
be administered at the beginning and
at the termination of the program. The
purpose of the tests will be two-fold:
( 1 ) to determine in what areas the stu-
dents are weak, and (2) to measure
their progress in the course.

The school day will be from 8:30
a.m. - 12:00 noon, and from 2:00 p.m. -
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The morning sessions will be devoted
to formal lectures, problem sessions,
film presentations, and lectures by guest
speakers. The afternoon sessions will
be devoted to chemistry projects, labora-
tory and local field trips. The program's
general objective will be an effort to
enrich the student's knowledge of chem-

The Intellectual Center of The Campus

Asa H. Gordon Library

The library of the College is one of its most
prized possessions. The adequacy of its resources
and the nature of its services to students and
faculty largely determine the quality of the
academic program. On the Savannah State Col-
lege campus, the library is an indispensable unit
which undergirds the instructional program, as
well as contributes to the recreational reading
interests. The library is not an adjunct to teach-
ing but the heart of the learning process.

The library staff and faculty arc busy as-
sembling a notable book collection to be used in
active support of the academic curriculum. As-
sembling a book collection is not enough! The
librarian and his staff actively encourage students
to use books with an emphasis on the role that
books play in the intellectual life of the academic
community. The resources of the library include
51,250 volumes, several thousand pamphlets, 640
periodicals, and 26 newspapers. The London
Times, the New York Times, the Savannah Morn-

Savannah Evening Prt
iddilion to book matei

ing News, and tlu

micro-print.

"Let's Listen to a Story," hour under the di-
rection of Mrs. Althea Anderson, Circulation
Librarian, is held weekly for the children of the
community.

A Great Books Discussion Group, under the
sponsorship of the library has been organized to
encourage people to read and meet together to
discuss great books.

Exhibitions of paintings by some of the world's
great artists are displayed in the library periodi-
cally.

A recently inaugurated lecture series has truly
made the library a market place of ideas.

All in all, the library of Savannah State Col-
lege is an essential instrument in the life of the
academic community.

The General Curriculum

The General Education Program proposes to
provide opportunities for all students to acquire
the basic skills, attitudes, habits, appreciations and
understandings requisite for the good life.

It seeks to guarantee to all students competency
in communication and thinking. It further pro-
poses to orient students toward and to sensitize
them to human and universal good and to the worth
and dignity of every human being.

At this college the general curriculum is pre-
occupied with the major disciplines that:

1. Acquaint the students with broad areas of
knowledge and human experience;

2. Give them an understanding of themselves,
their culture and physical environment;

3. Provide the students with a sound in-
tellectual and moral foundation upon which
character and professional and vocational
opportunity may rest.

This program is concerned generally with fresh-
man and sophomore students. However, some at-
tention is devoted to students on the junior and
senior level of their intellectual maturation. In
this respect, general education is an integral phase
of the experience of all students who matriculate
for a degree at the College.

The General Education Program is under the
general supervision of the General Education Com-
mittee and the Coordinator of General Education.
The Committee consists of students and faculty
members.

The Divisions

The formal instructional program of Savan-
nah State College comprises the general curricu-
lum, areas of major and minor concentration, and
terminal curricula. The program is organized
within these seven divisions:

The Division of Business Administration

Division of Business
Administration

Hayward S. Anderson, D.B.A., Chairman

A high school student who is preparing for a
career in business via the college route should
direct his efforts toward becoming proficient in
mathematics and English at the high school level.
Proficiency in mathematics allows him to make
quick use of quantitative tools in solving business
problems. Proficiency in English permits him to
communicate his ideas. The ability to do both are
significant attributes of business personnel.

Though not essential, since the college offers
the necessary fundamentals, a student may also
lake such courses as bookkeeping, shorthand, and
other business subjects which are offered at his
respective high school. Such an approach, at least,
allows the student to make a tentative judgment
as to whether or not he is favorably inclined toward
specific subject areas. It should be pointed out un-
equivocally, however, that business training, on
the college level, embraces much more than type-
writing and shorthand.

Since more and more high school students are
arriving at college with typing skills, it is recom-
mended that a course in typewriting be taken.
Entering students are exempted from typewriting
courses in which they meet the course standards.

Whether or not students interested in the secre-
tarial or teaching programs should take shorthand
in high school, since they are required courses in
these college curricula, is a debatable question.
Evidence at our institution suggests that the student
might well spend the time that be might devote to
shorthand in high school to additional preparation
in grammar and composition, if he is not already
proficient in these areas.

One of the advantages of majoring in business
is that one is preparing himself for a wide variety
of employment possibilities. Opportunities exist
for self-employment, for employment in private
industry, and for employment with the government
national, state and local.

Some positions, for which training in business
at Savannah Stale College is designed to prepare
students include:

Entrepreneurs Secretaries

Accountants Stenographers

Bookkeepers Typists

Salesmen Business Managers

Economists Teachers of Business

To realize the aims of a person desiring train-
ing in business, Savannah State College's Division
of Business offers courses leading to the degree
of bachelor of science and a terminal, two-year
program leading to a certificate of proficiency.

A student who pursues a degree in business at

this institution may concentrate his efforts in one
of the following areas: (1) General Business Ad-
ministration, (2) Accounting, (3) Economics, (4)
Secretarial Science, and (5) The Program for
Teachers of Business Education. In each of the
above curricula, consideration has been given to
the course requirements for graduate study.

Because of the numerous job opportunities that
exist currently for accountants and secretaries,
students should become familiar with the attributes
of successful accountants and secretaries as well
as the nature of the job opportunities that are
available.

A student may find a challenging career in the
field of accounting if he has analytical ability, if
he has a facility with figures, and if he derives
personal enjoyment while doing work which re-
quires the use of these attributes.

While numerous lists have been compiled
which suggest attributes of a good secretary, the
attributes of loyalty and a mastery of shorthand
and typewriting are frequently mentioned. While
the following list is by no means all inclusive, it,
nevertheless, gives some further insight into desired
attributes of a good secretary. A prospective em-
ployer recently wrote that he had a secretarial
vacancy but in order to meet the job specifications
the secretary had to have the following: a pleasing
personality, facility with English, a mastery of tele-
phone etiquette, courtesy, neatness in both appear-
ance and work, and the ability to work with others.
Aspiring secretaries can acquire and develop many
of these attributes early.

Because occupations within the field of busi-
ness are numerous and because the specific re-
quired attributes within each occupation may vary,
high school students are encouraged, in addition to
utilizing their own counselors, to visit colleges and
counsel with professors and counselors for guid-
ance in career selection.

Division of Education

Tiielma Harmond, Ph.D., Chairman
The Division of Education at Savannah State
College is a member of the Association of Colleges
for Teachers Education. It offers twelve curricula
in teacher preparation and a program of basic
training for teacher-librarians. These programs
are approved by the State Department of Educa-
tion. This means that satisfactory completion of
any program brings automatic certification in the
field of study pursued.

Aside fr

strong academic classroom pro-
gram in general, specialized, and professional edu-
cation, the leaching major at Savannah Slate Col-
lege has rich, varied, and meaningful laboratory
experience which brings one into constant contact
with children and youth.

College-wide Provision For Teacher Education

The Division comprises three departments: the
Department of Elementary Education; the Depart-
ment of Health, Physical Education and Recre-
ation; and the Department of Secondary Educa-
tion. The preparation of teachers is, however, a

college-wide commitment. Because every division
and department at the College is involved in train-
ing teachers in some subject matter field, this
function engages the constant interest and efforts,
staff resources, and facilities of the entire in-
stitution.

Department of Health,
Physical Education
and Recreation

The essential aim of the Department of Health.
Physical Education and Recreation is to afford
professional training for pre-service and in-service
teachers of health, physical education, and recre-
ation in the elementary and secondary schools. A
parallel aim is advisement. The aim is to provide
feu- all students instruction in the basic principles
of health and recreational activity needed for
wholesome living.

In pursuance of the foregoing aims, this De-
partment provides a four-fold program of instruc-
tion. For students who plan to become professional
workers in the field of health, physical education,
and recreation either in schools or in other
agencies the department offers a sequence of
specialized training to the degn I Bachelor of

Science in Education, with a concentration in
health, physical education, and recreation.

In addition, for all students enrolled in teacher
education curricula at Savannah State College, this
department provides basic training in supervision
of one or more phases of a comprehensive health,
physical education, and recreation program in the
schools of Georgia. This phase of the work is
provided either in selected specialized courses or
in a minor sequence. Further, for all students
enrolled at the college this department provides
instruction in the fundamental concepts and activi-
ties of health, physical education, and recreation
as an essential phase of general education.

Finally, this department serves the college
community through instruction and leadership in
the intramural program. The intramural program
is, in effect, a laboratory in which students enjoy
practicing the skills learned in general service
courses and relish competing with their peers.

Division of Humanities

Forrest 0. Wiggins. Ph.D., Chairman

The Division of Humanities, as its name im-
plies, is concerned primarily with transforming
the individual into a human and humane person.
The technique for realizing this aim is that of
serious study of the human heritage as it has heen
recorded in literature, music, art, and philosophy.
In this manner the student deepens his appreciation,
sharpens his intellect, enhances his critical powers,
and incorporates himself in the mainstream of the
best that has been thought and fell.

The Division of Humanities provides oppor-
tunities for majoring in English, music, the fine
arts, French, and Spanish. The curricula in these
areas are designed also to prepare teachers. Thus
students who elect to teach become purveyors of
the humanistic tradition. The College provides a
mean- also for meeting the national need for per-
sons trained in foreign languages. As future
linguists and/ or teachers, students have an unusual
opportunity at Savannah State College. A strong
faculty in modern language in addition to a re-
cently installed laboratory assures the students
the means of thoroughly preparing themselves in
this area.

Religious Empha

The Department of Fine Arts

The Choral Society

Music

In the area of music, the Department of Fine Arts
at Savannah State College offers a major program lead-
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music Edu-
cation and two minor programs one for prospective
teachers in the secondary schools and a nonteaching
program. All of the curricula have been approved by the
three national accrediting agencies The Music Teachers
National Association, the National Association of Schools
of Music and the Music Educators National Conference,
as well as by the State Board of Certification and the
Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.

Courses include intensive work in theory, history and
literature, performance, applied music, conducting and
music education. Although 75 hours are required for
state certification, a total of 82 hours constitutes the
four-year music requirement at the College. Previous
training of at least two years in any applied area is re-
quired of all prospective majors, but skilled aptitude is
recognized and accepted in lieu of this requirement if
Most majors must pursue four years of train-
piano, voice, or another instrument as well as
s amount of time in their applied major area. In
i to the music courses, all candidates for a degree
take a large complement of courses in general education
and the professional sequences.

The five musical organizations The Marching Band,
The Concert Band. The Choral Society, The Women's
Glee Club and the Men's Glee Club are each directed
by a full-time faculty member and provide ample oppor-
tunity for students inside and outside of the department

jdditi-

experiences in public performance which rai
rams on the campus at assemblies, chui
;spers, and special programs, to local televisi
?s. concerts in the community, athletic gan
home, and conceit tours in several states.

One of the most important operations in this depart-
ment is the awarding each year of a number of scholar-
ships, called grants-in-aid, which are given to capable,
worth) applicants in all organizations upon recommenda-
tion of the department. Depending upon the aptitude,
academic standing, and financial need of the student,
these awards are sufficient at times to provide tuition for
a full year. Grants are made, however, only to applicants
who file the necessary forms, are recommended by the
department, and are approved by the Committee on
Scholarships. Recipients, encouraged to apply in the
spring, are usually notified during the summer, well in
advance of the opening of the Fall Quarter.

The present facilities provide space for classes, or-
ganizational rehearsals, practice periods, listening room,
and offices. Pianos are provided for practice, and band
instruments are provided, both without charge. Complete
uniforms, robes, stoles, and blazers are also furnished
to members of the various organizations.

vour inquiries to
ii. Department of

Art

The rewards can he great for a person with or
without "artistic talent." To gain these rewards,
one needs only the desire to learn and a good
place in which to learn. The Art Department at
Savannah State College provides students with an
adequate environment for learning. If one has the
desire, then he can progress at Savannah State
College.

The Ait Department is located in new quarters,
especially designed and equipped with modern
studios and lecture rooms being brought up-to-date,
making it possible to teach the latest use of books
and methods in lithography etching, serigiaphv.
ceramic, sculpture, and painting.

Students who have studied art at Savannah
State College have reaped many rewards. Some
have won large sums of money in art competition.
Some are enjoying the success of exhibiting their
art at qualified galleries. One former student is
in the Pentagon in Washington. D. C. where he is

the knowledge of art acquired here. Others
successful careers as teachers of art. And,

others hav
ichools thi<

gone on to more advanced studies
ighout the country.

Art students at Savannah State College oc-
casionally have opportunities of getting first-hand
experience, as a number of art jobs of short dura-
tion come into the Art Department. There are some
jobs of a more permanent nature waiting to be
filled.

The Art Department is prepared and eager to
help students in many ways. The rewards can be
plentiful for those who are seeking; and when they
acquire a Bachelor of Science Degree in Ait Edu-
cation, they will find that rewards other than
salary, position, dignity, or fame await them. They
may learn, ultimately, to enrich their lives with
things which do not pass so quickly; for, to know
and to be able to enjoy knowing is indeed a divine
reward.

Modern Languages

The Department of Modern Languages offers
instruction in three languages: French. German
and Spanish. The primary aim of the members
of the Department is to teach the student to under-
stand, speak, read and write these languages so
that he may communicate with others who speak
them. This instruction is carried on in daily recita-
tions in the classroom and also in a modern twenty
booth laboratory where the student can increase
his proficiency by listening to and repeating
exercises of various types especially prepared for
this purpose. For students who wish to develop
more than an elementary proficiency in French or

Spanish, the Department offers courses leading to
a minor in either language. It also offers courses
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Education with a concentration either in French
or Spanish.

Outside of the field of education, a person
with a major in a foreign language can find em-
ployment in several areas. First, there is the area
of organizations more or less international in
character. Because of the nature of its work, there
is almost a constant demand at the United Nations
Headquarters for men and women who are pro-
ficient in foreign languages.

Division of Natural Sciences

Booker T. Griffith. Ph.D., Chairman

The Division of Natural Sciences is proud of the record that it has made in helping young people find
-elves in the scientific and mathematical world during the last quarter of a century.

Department of Biology

The aims of the Department of Biology are
(1) to provide for all students that knowledge
which is essential to an understanding of the
biological hasis of living; (2) to train persons
adequately through the media of advanced courses
for entry into the professional study of dentistry,
medicine, and nursing; (3) to prepare persons to
teach the biological sciences in the secondary
school or to continue study on the graduate level.

In addition to the required general courses,
this department offers courses leading to the de-
gree of Bachelor of Science with a major in biology.
This department offers also a minor.

The Biology Department is proud of its achieve-
ments during the last several years. It takes great
pride in reviewing the records of some of its
graduates.

Department of Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry has grown by
leaps and hounds in the past few years. The teach-
ing staff, teaching space and equipment have been
increased one hundred per cent.

The Department has been quite successful in
obtaining funds from Chemical Societies and the
National Science Foundation to sponsor several
significant programs such as the In-Service In-
stitute for teachers of Chemistry and General
Science in secondary education and the Summer
Science Program for selected high school students.

Many research projects are carried out by the
students in cooperation with the department's active
research program. The Department feels that re-
search projects serve as good preparation for more
highly developed and specialized research that
the students will encounter in graduate school. The
research program serves as an outlet of expression
of the student's scientific interest and capabilities
other than in the classroom and gives him experi-
ence in employing the scientific methods in problem
solving.

The Department of Chemistry provides basic
training for higher education work leading to
the Master of Science and Ph.D. degree. In addi-

tion to this it provides all of the chemistry needed
in pie-nursing, pre-dental and pre-medical edu-
cation.

The curriculum has been revised so that the
student will receive a substantial number of courses
ill mathematics, physics, and biology which will
aid him in becoming a better Chemist.

The Department believes in creativity, freedom
of exploration, productivity, hard work, and
recreation.

The Department of
Mathematics and Physics

The Mathematics curriculum and courses are
being continually revised to keep in step with the
recommendations released by the School Mathe-
matics Study Group in 1960. The textbooks, course
outlines, and other materials are continuously be-
ing changed in order to meet today's challenge.
The Physics courses are designed to give emphasis
to the PSSC recommendations for college Physics.

The objectives of the department are not only
to prepare better teachers of Mathematics and
Physics, but also to provide them with the courses
necessary to do further study in areas like linear
programming and computing, statistical research,
electronics, guided missiles, engineering, mathe-
matics for various phases of industry research,
actuary science and over twenty branches of gov-
ernmental service.

Division of
Technical Sciences

Clyde W. Hall, Ed.D., Chairman
The Division of Technical Sciences seeks to
accomplish two major objectives: (1) to provide
students with sufficient specialized training in
engineering technology, technical home economics
and industrial teacher education to meet entry em-
ployment requirements in these areas; and (2) to
provide students with a broad liberal education
which includes study in the general areas of com-
munications, mathematics, the natural sciences,
the behavioral and social sciences, and the fine
arts.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the
Division of Technical Sciences is organized into

two departments which offer curricula leading to
the Bachelor of Science degree. The Department
oi Engineering Technology offers programs in
building construction technology, electronics tech-
nology, industrial arts education, mechanical tech-
nology and trade and industrial education, and
'the Department of Home Economics affords oppor-
tunity for students to major in foods and nutrition
and institutional management, and textiles and
clothing.

Individuals interested in careers in the tech-
nical sciences should be well grounded in the ap-
plied sciences. Such high school subjects as

Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr.

It is indeed a very great pleasure for me to ex-
tend on behalf of the administration, faculty, and
student body, greetings to all prospective students
who are seriously considering Savannah State College
as your college and to all of our friends everywhere.
Our college welcomes all of you!

Since the founding of the college on November
26, 1890, Savannah State has been primarily con-
cerned with developing a strong program of educa-
tion and training for all students. We feel that the
college, today, is an exciting and challenging place
to spend four of the most important years of your
life. It is challenging because it has an excellent
faculty, a rapidly expanding student body, viable
programs, and excellent facilities for study, research,
and relaxation. It is exciting because it is a place
where minds can meet and exchange ideas, for the
purpose of solving problems presented by our modern
society. The college is proud of its reputation for
excellence which is reflected in the outstanding per-
formance of its graduates in many varied vocations
and professions all over the United States of America.

Savannah State College regards itself as an urban
college and as such, recognizes that it must meet the
challenges of the urban crisis in realistic, and even
self-critical terms. In this connection, we are con-
stantly striving to develop more understanding of
the process of urbanization, and we are devising
more effective programs and approaches to solving
current urban problems. The college offers courses
leading to the baccalaureate degree, with a major

in each of the following areas of concentration: Ac
counting; Biology; Chemistry; Civil Technology
Dietetics and Institutional Management; Economics
Elementary Education; Electronics Technology; Eng
lish; General Business Administration; Mathematics
Mechanical Technology; Secondary Education
Secretarial Science; Social Sciences; Textiles and
Clothing.

During the summer of 1968, a Graduate Pro-
gram leading to the Master's Degree in Elementary
Education was inaugurated. All of our programs of
teacher education now enjoy five-year approval by
the State Department of Education.

A ten-year Development Plan, which was started
four years ago, continues to provide better and more
attractive facilities, well-equipped laboratories and
classrooms, and modern comfortable dormitories.

This Information Bulletin which has been de-
veloped for you will graphically describe the facili-
ties and programs and will answer many questions
about the college which you may have.

Again, it is a pleasure to greet you and we in-
vite you to visit with us and learn more about our
college.

Welcome to

Savannah State College

Savannah State College, a unit of the University
System of Georgia, is a five-year accredited college
of arts and sciences, teacher education, business ad-
ministration, and technology. A graduate program in
elementary education was initiated last summer.

Founded in 1890, Savannah State College is
located in the historic city of Savannah, the first
capital of Georgia, and the second largest city in
Georgia.

Savannah State College offers courses leading to
the master's degree in elementary education, and
courses leading to the baccalaureate degree with a
major in each of these areas of concentration: ac-
counting, biology, chemistry, civil technology, die-
tetics and institution management, economics, ele-
mentary education, electronics technology, English,
general business administration, mathematics, me-
chanical technology, secondary education, secretarial
science, social sciences, and textiles and clothing.

Teacher education programs in the following
fields have been approved by the Georgia Division
of Teacher Education and Certification: elementary
education, secondary education, with a concentration
in business education; English, French, general
science, industrial arts education, mathematics, social
studies, Spanish, trade and industrial education,
grades 1-12; art education, health and physical edu-
cation, music education, and teacher-librarian.

Two-year programs of study are offered in Secre-
tarial Science, and Dressmaking and Tailoring. Upon
satisfactory completion of these programs, the student
is given a certificate of proficiency.

Savannah State College has one of the most beau-

tiful campuses in the South. The campus comprises
136 acres of matchless natural beauty. Attractive
new buildings are constantly being built. Put into
use recently was the John F. Kennedy Fine Arts
Center, A. E. Peacock Hall, and a new athletic
stadium.

The John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center, con-
structed at an approximate cost of $500,000, contains
a Little Theatre, offices, classrooms, and laboratories
for music, art, ceramics, and sculpture.

A. E. Peacock Hall, a dormitory for 180 male
students, is a modern three-story building which con-
tains 90 bedrooms of the studio type; a lobby,
recreational areas, an apartment for the house direc-
tor; barber shop, room for TV viewing, and a laundro-
mat. This dormitory is completely air-conditioned,
and was constructed at an approximate cost of
$600,000.

Presently, a new student center and food service
building is being constructed. This building will
feature a dining room equipped to handle 1,200
students and will house all student activities. A book-
store, snack bar, lounges, game and meeting rooms,
and administrative offices will also be included in
this building.

Savannah State College has requested from the
Board of Regents the following facilities: a Natural
Sciences Building, a Technical Home Economics
Building, and a Nursery School for early childhood
education. The science building, and a dormitory
for 200 students have been approved.

Asa H. Gordon Library

The Intellectual Center of the Campus

The Library of the College is one of its most
prized possessions. The adequacy of its resources
and the nature of its services to students and faculty
largely determine the quality of the academic pro-
gram. On the Savannah State College campus, the
library is an indispensable unit which undergirds
the instructional program, as well as contributes to
the recreational reading interests. The library is not
an adjunct to teaching; but the heart of the learning
process.

The library staff and faculty are busy assembling
a notable book collection to be used in active support
of the academic curriculum. Assembling a book
collection is not enough! The librarian and his staff

actively encourage students to use books with an
emphasis on the role that books play in the intellectual
life of the academic community.

The resources of the library include 73,338
volumes, several thousand pamphlets, 710 periodi-
cals, and 57 newspapers. The London Times, the
New York Times, the Savannah Morning News, and
the Savannah Evening Press, are on microfilm, in
addition to book materials in micro-print.

A recently inaugurated lecture series has truly
made the library a market place of ideas.

All in all, the library at Savannah State College
is an essential instrument in the life of the academic
community.

Graduate Program

The Master of Science degree program is de-
signed to further the professional growth and com-
petency of persons choosing a career in public edu-
cation. Specific objectives are to improve their pro-
fessional skills and competencies; to expand their
professional and cultural backgrounds; to further
their knowledge, appreciation, and understanding of
their areas of specialization; and to deepen their
appreciation and performance in scientific investi-
gation.

For admission to the graduate program, an ap-
plicant must comply with the general requirements
prescribed by the University System. In addition, the
applicant (1) must have earned a bachelor's degree
from a regionally accredited college; (2) must hold,
or become eligible for, a professional certificate in
the area in which graduate study is contemplated;
(3) must have earned a minimum score of 450 on
the National Teacher Common Examinations; (4)
must have submitted two official transcripts of all
courses attempted at the undergraduate level as well
as previous graduate study; and (5) must have re-
ceived the approval of the Chairman of the Division
of Education.

Admission is restricted to include only those stu-
dents whose academic records indicate that they can
successfully undertake graduate work. For admission
as a regular student in full graduate standing, a
minimum undergraduate average of 2.5 (C+) is
required.

Students who apply for admission to a program
leading to a graduate degree are classified as degree
students. Students who wish to enroll in a course or
courses without regard to degree requirements are
classified as non-degree students.

The graduate program in education consists of
sixty quarter hours. These include twenty hours of
professional education and research, twenty-five
hours in a specialized field, and fifteen hours of
electives. The fifteen hours of electives are taken
either in subject matter courses or professional edu-
cation, or distributed between these tw : o subject areas,
subject to the needs and wishes of the student and to
the approval of the advisor(s).

The program breakdown is as follows:
20 hours Professional Education and

Research
25 hours Specialized Content

15 hours Electives (Professional, subject
matter, or both)

Twenty hours in professional education and re-
search is required. These courses briefly described,
include (1) Advanced Studies in Human Develop-
ment and Learning or The Nature and Conditions of
Human Learning; (2) Curriculum Planning; (3)
Social Foundations of Education; and (4) Educa-
tional Research or Field Project.

The twenty-five hours of specialized content are
designed to assist the teacher toward becoming a
master teacher through the mastery of meaningful
sequential concepts and skills related to specific
fields of knowledge. The Division of Education is
working with academic Divisions to encourage their
development of courses that may be selected by ele-
mentary teachers as areas of concentration. The
science department has begun developing several
such courses. According to present and prospective
staff strength, areas of concentration are planned in
(1) social sciences; (2) science; (3) reading, speech,
and linguistics; (4) foreign languages; (5) mathe-
matics and science; and, (6) art and music.

The fifteen hours of electives are planned for in-
creasing the student's overall competency either
through (1) adding further strength to a developed
interest area, or (2) developing an additional inter-
est outlet, or (3) compensating for identified needs.
Electives may be selected from among professional
education, subject matter courses, and suggested
elective areas.

Upon admission to the graduate program, the stu-
dent is assigned an advisor who guides the student
in developing his program. Not later than mid-point
in his program, or by the time that thirty quarter
hours have been earned, the student is required to
file an application for admission to candidacy.

Approval of that application is a certification
that the student has made satisfactory progress to
that point and that he is being granted candidacy
admission subject to the conditions that follow:

Certification by his advisors that (a) he has made
satisfactory progress in all courses pursued; (b) that
he has received a satisfactory score on the National
Examinations; and (c) that he has earned an under-
graduate degree from an approved institution in a
program which meets the approval of the Division
of Education of the College.

Five hundred (500) courses may be taken by
undergraduates (juniors and seniors) and graduates,
but 600 courses are open only to graduate students.

The General Curriculum

The General Education Program proposes to pro-
vide opportunities for all students to acquire the basic
skills, attitudes, habits, appreciations and under-
standings requisite for the good life.

It seeks to guarantee to all students competency
in communication and thinking. It further proposes
to orient students toward and to sensitize them to
human and universal good and to the worth and
dignity of every human being.

At this college the general curriculum is pre-
occupied with the major disciplines that:

1. Acquaint the students with broad areas of
knowledge and human experience;

2. Give them an understanding of themselves,
their culture and physical environment;

3. Provide the students with a sound intellectual
and moral foundation upon which character
and professional and vocational opportunity
may rest.

This program is concerned generally with fresh-
man and sophomore students. However, some atten-
tion is devoted to students on the junior and senior
level of their intellectual maturation. In this respect,
general education is an integral phase of the experi-
ence of all students who matriculate for a degree at
the College.

The General Education Program is under the
general supervision of the General Education Com-
mittee and the Coordinator for General Education.
The Committee consists of students and faculty mem-
bers.

DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

A high school student who is preparing for a career in
business via the college route should direct his efforts
toward becoming proficient in mathematics and English at
the high school level. Proficiency in mathematics allows
him to make quick use of quantitative tools in solving
business problems. Proficiency in English permits him to
communicate his ideas. The ability to do both are significant
attributes of business personnel.

Though not essential, since the college offers the neces-
sary fundamentals, a student may also take such courses
as bookkeeping, shorthand, and other business subjects
which are offered at his respective high school. Such an
approach, at least, allows the student to make a tentative
judgment as to whether or not he is favorably inclined
toward specific subject areas. It should be pointed out
unequivocally, however, that business training, on the
college level, embraces much more than typewriting and
shorthand.

Since more and more high school students
at college with typing skills, it is recommended that a course
in typewriting be taken. Entering students are exempted
from typewriting courses in which they meet the course
standards.

Whether or not students interested in the secretarial or
teaching programs should take shorthand in high school,
since they are required courses in these college curricula, is
a debatable question. Evidence at our institution suggests
that the student might well spend the time that he might
devote to shorthand in high school to additional preparation
in grammar and composition, if he is not already proficient
in these areas.

One of the advantages of majoring in business is that
one is preparing himself for a wide variety of employment
possibilities. Opportunities exist for self-employment, for
employment in private industry, and for employment with
the government national, state and local.

Some positions, for which training in business at Savan-
nah State College is designed to prepare students include:
Entrepreneurs Secretaries

Accountants Stenographers

Bookkeepers Typists

Salesmen Business Managers

Economists Teachers of Business

To realize the aims of a person desiring trail
business, Savannah State College's Division of Bu
offers cpurses leading to the degree of bachelor of i
and a terminal, two-year program leading to a certificate
of proficiency.

A student who pursues a degree in business at this in-
stitution may concentrate his efforts in one of the follow-
ing areas: (1) General Business Administration, (2) Ac-
counting, (3) Economics, (4) Secretarial Science, and (5)
The Program for Teachers of Business Education. In each
of the above curricula, consideration has been given to the
course requirements for graduate study.

Because of the numerous job opportunities that exist
currently for accountants and secretaries, students should
become familiar with the attributes of successful account-
ants and secretaries as well as the nature of the job oppor-
tunities that are available.

A student may find a challenging career in the field of
accounting if he has analytical ability, if he has a facility
with figures, and if he derives personal enjoyment while
doing work which requires the use of these attributes.

While numerous lists have been compiled which suggest
attributes of a good secretary, the attributes of loyalty and
a mastery of shorthand and typewriting are frequently
mentioned. While the following list is by no means all
inclusive, it, nevertheless, gives some further insight into
desired attributes of a good secretary. A prospective em-
ployer recently wrote that he had a secretarial vacancy, but
in order to meet the job specifications, the secretary had
to have the following: a pleasing personality, facility with
English, a mastery of telephone etiquette, courtesy, neatness
in both appearance and work, and the ability to work with
others. Aspiring secretaries can acquire and develop many
of these attributes early.

;upations within the field of business are
and because the specific required attributes with-
in each occupation may vary, high school students are
encouraged, in addition to utilizing their own counselors, to
visit colleges and counsel with professors and counselors
for guidance in career selection.

DIVISION OP EDUCATION

The Division of Education at Savannah State College
is a member of the Association of Colleges for Teachers
Education. It offers twelve curricula in teacher preparation
and a program of basic training for teacher-librarians. These
programs are approved by the State Department of Educa-
tion. This means that satisfactory completion of any pro-
gram brings automatic certification in the field of study
pursued.

A person majoring in Education at Savannah State

College is the concern of every division and department of
the College, therefore, the resources and facilities as well
as the interest and efforts of the entire institution, are at
his disposal.

Aside from a strong academic classroom program in
general, specialized, and professional education, the teach-
ing major at Savannah State College has rich, varied, and
meaningful laboratory experience which brings one into
constant contact with children and youth.

COLLEGE-WIDE PROVISION FOR TEACHER EDUCATION

The Division comprises three departments: the Depart-
ment of Elementary Education; the Department of Health,
Physical Education and Recreation; and the Department of
Secondary Education. The preparation of teachers is, how-
ever, a college-wide commitment. Because every division

and department at the College is involved in training
teachers in some subject matter field, this function engages
the constant interest and efforts, staff resources, and facili-
ties of the entire institution.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION
AND RECREATION

The essential aim of the Department of Health, Phyi
Education and Recreation is to afford professional training
for pre-service and in-service teachers of health, phys:
education, and recreation in the elementary and secondary
schools. A parallel aim is advisement. The aim is to pro-
vide for all students instruction in the basic principles (
health and recreational activity needed for wholesome livin;

In pursuance of the foregoing aims, this Departmenl
provides a four-fold program of instruction. For students
who plan to become professional workers in the field
health, physical education, and recreation either in school:
or in other agencies the department offers a sequence
specialized training to the degree of Bachelor of Science ir
Education, with a concentration in health, physical educa
tion, and recreation.

In addition, for all students enrolled in teacher education

curricula at Savannah State College, this department pro-
vides basic training in supervision of one or more phases
of a comprehensive health, physical education, and recre-
ation program in the schools of Georgia. This phase of the
work is provided either in selected specialized courses or
in a minor sequence. Further, for all students enrolled at
the college this department provides instruction in the
fundamental concepts and activities of health, physical edu-
cation, and recreation as an essential phase of general
education.

Finally, this department serves the college community
through instruction and leadership in the intramural pro-
gram. The intramural program is, in effect, a laboratory
in which students enjoy practicing the skills learned in
general service courses and relish competing with their
peers.

13

DIVISION OF HUMANITIES

The Division of Humanities, as its name implies, is con-
cerned primarily with transforming the individual into a
human and humane person. The technique for realizing
this aim is that of serious study of the human heritage as
it has been recorded in literature, music, art, and philosophy.
In this manner the student deepens his appreciation,
sharpens his intellect, enhances his critical powers, and
incorporates himself in the mainstream of the best that has
been thought and felt.

The Dii

of Humanities provides opportunities for

majoring in English, music, the fine arts, French, and
Spanish. The curricula in these areas are designed also to
prepare teachers. Thus students who elect to teach become
purveyors of the humanistic tradition. The College provides
a means also for meeting the national need for persons
trained in foreign languages. As future linguists and/or
teachers, students have an unusual opportunity at Savan-
nah State College. A strong faculty in modern languages,
in addition to a recently installed laboratory assures the
students the means of thoroughly preparing themselves in
this area.

THE DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS

MUSIC

In the area of music, the Department of Fine Arts at
Savannah State College offers a major program leading to
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music Education and
two minor programs one for prospective teachers in the
secondary schools and a nonteaching program. All of the
curricula have been approved by the three national accredit-
ing agencies The Music Teachers National Association,

the National Association of Schools of Music and the Music
Educators National Conference, as well as by the State
Board of Certification and the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia.

Courses include intensive work in theory, history and
literature, performance, applied music, conducting and
music education. Although 75 hours are required for state

The John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center

Alpha Kappa Mu Recepti

certification, a total of 82 hours constitutes the four-year
music requirement at the College. Previous training of at
least two years in any applied area is required of all pros-
pective majors, but skilled aptitude is recognized and ac-
cepted in lieu of this requirement if necessary. Most majors
must pursue four years of training in piano, voice, or
another instrument, as well as the same amount of time in
their applied area. In addition to the mu
candidates for a degree take a large complement of
in general education and the professional sequences.

The five musical organizations The Marching Band,
The Concert Band, the Choral Society, The Women's Glee
Club, and The Men's Glee Club are each directed by a
full-time faculty member and provide ample opportunity
for students inside and outside of the department to receive
experiences in public performance which range from pro-
grams on the campus at assemblies, church services, vespers,
and special programs, to local television appearances, con-
cert in the community, athletic games away from home, and
concert tours in several states.

One of the most important operations in this department
is the awarding each year of a number of scholarships,

called grants-in-aid, which are given to capable, worthy
applicants in all organizations upon recommendation of
the department. Depending upon the aptitude, academic
standing, and financial need of the student, these awards
are sufficient at times to provide tuition for a full year.
Grants are made, however, only to applicants who file the
ary forms, are recommended by the department, and
proved by the Committee on Scholarships. Recipients,
aged to apply in the spring, are usually notified dur-
ing the summer, well in advance of the opening of the Fall
Quarter.

The present facilities provide space for classes, organ-
izational rehearsals, practice periods, listening room, and
offices. Pianos are provided for practice, and band instru-
ments are provided, both without charge. Complete uniforms,
robes, stoles, and blazers are also furnished to members of
rganizations.

For any additional information concerning the Depart-
ment, please feel free to address your inquiries to Dr. Cole-
ridge A. Braithwaite, Chairman, Department of Fine Arts,
Savannah State College.

ART

The rewards can be great for a person with or without
"artistic talent." To gain these rewards, one needs only the
desire to learn and a good place in which to learn. The
Art Department at Savannah State College provides students
with an adequate environment for learning. If one has the
desire, then he can progress at Savannah State College.

The Art Department is located in new quarters, especially
designed and equipped with modern studios and lecture
rooms making it possible to teach the latest use of books
and methods in lithography etching, serigraphy, ceramics,
sculpture, and painting.

Students who have studied art at Savannah State College
have reaped many rewards. Some have won large sums of
money in art competition. Some are enjoying the success
of exhibiting their art at qualified galleries. One former
student is in the Pentagon in Washington, D. C, where he

the knowledge of art acquired here. Others have
ul careers as teachers of art. And, still others have
gone on to more advanced studies in schools throughout
the country.

Art students at Savannah State College occasionally
have opportunities to get first-hand experience, as a number
of art jobs of short duration come into the Art Department.
There are some jobs of more permanent nature waiting to
be filled.

The Art Department is prepared and eager to help
students in many ways. The rewards can be plentiful for
those who are seeking; and when they acquire a Bachelor
of Science Degree in Art Education, will find that rewards
other than salary, position, dignity, or fame await them.
They may learn, ultimately to enrich their lives with things
which do not pass so quickly; for, to know and to be able
to enjoy knowing is indeed a divine reward.

MODERN LANGUAGES

The Department of Modern Languages offers instruction
in three languages: French, German, and Spanish. The
primary aim of the members of the Department is to teach
the student to understand, speak, read and write these
languages so that he may communicate with others who
speak them. This instruction is carried on in daily recitations
in the classroom and also in a modern twenty booth labora-
tory where the student can increase his proficiency by listen-
ing to and repeating exercises of various types especially
prepared for this purpose. For students who wish to develop
more than an elementary proficiency in French or Spanish,
the Department offers courses leading to a minor in either

language. It also offers courses leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Education with a concentration in
French or Spanish.

Outside of the field of education, a person with a major
in foreign language can find employment in several areas.
First, there is the area of organizations more or less inter-
national in character. Because of the nature of its work,
there is almost a constant demand at the United Nations
Headquarters for men and women who are proficient in

DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCES

vision of Natural Sciences is proud of the record
made in helping young people find themselves

in the scientific and
quarter of a century.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY

The aims of the Department of Biology are: (1) to
provide for all students that knowledge which is essential
to an understanding of the biological basis of living; (2)
to train persons adequately through the media of advanced
courses for entry into the professional study of dentistry,
medicine, and nursing; and (3) to prepare persons to teach
the biological sciences in the secondary school or to con-
tinue study on the graduate level.

In addition to the required general courses, the depart-
ment offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science with a major in biology. This department offers

The Biology Department is proud of its achievements
during the last several years. It takes great pride in review-
ing the records of some of its graduates.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

The Department of Chemistry has grown by leaps and
bounds in the past few years. The teaching staff, teaching
space and equipment have been increased one hundred per
cent.

The Department has been quite successful in obtaining
funds from Chemical Societies and the National Science
Foundation to sponsor several significant programs such as
the In-Service Institute for Teachers of Chemistry and Gen-
eral Science in secondary education and the Summer Science
Program for selected high school students.

Many research projects are carried out by the students
in cooperation with the department's active research pro-
gram. The Department feels that research projects serve
as good preparation for more highly developed and special-
ized research that the students will encounter in graduate

school. The research program serves as an outlet for the
expression of the student's scientific interest and capabilities
other than in the classroom and gives him experience in

THE DEPARTMENT OP MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS

The Mathematics curriculum and courses are being con-
tinually revised to keep in step with the recommendations
released by the School Mathematics Group in 1960. The
textbooks, course outlines, and other materials are con-
tinuously being changed in order to meet today's challenge.
The Physics courses are designed to give emphasis to the
PSSC recommendations for college Physics.

The objectives of the department are not only to prepare
better teachers of Mathematics and Physics, but also to
provide them with the courses necessary to do further study
in areas like linear programming and computing, statistical
research, electronics, guided missiles, engineering, mathe-
matics for various phases of industry research, actuary
science and over 20 branches of governmental i

and students have registered from New York, New Jersey,

There are students enrolled in these courses living in
all parts of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama;

and Washington, D. C.

The Home Study Department is directed toward two
objectives. The first is to provide a service for those per-
sons who cannot undertake residence instruction, and the
second is to provide an enriching program for those who
do not require residence instruction for personal growth
and enrichment.

Extension classes are provided upon sufficient demand.

For information concerning credits, fees, examinations,
textbooks, etc., write: The Division of Home Study, Savan-
nah State College, Savannah, Georgia.

DIVISION OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES

The Division of Technical Sciences seeks to accomplish
two major objectives: (1) to provide students with sufficient
specialized training in engineering technology, technical
home economics and industrial teacher education to meet
entry employment requirements in these areas; and (2) to
provide students with a broad liberal education which in-
cludes study in the general areas of communications,
mathematics, the natural sciences, the behavioral and social
sciences, and the fine arts.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the Division
of Technical Sciences is organized into two departments
which offer curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science
degree. The Department of Engineering Technology offers
programs in building construction technology, electronics
technology, industrial arts education, mechanical technology,
and trade and industrial education.

The Department of Home Economics affords opportunity
for students to major in dietetics and institutional manage-
ment. This four-year program is approved by the American
Dietetic Association.

This pre-professional dietetic course which leads to the

Bachelor of Science degree prepares the student for im-
mediate internship This internship is a required fifth-
year of on-the-job training. The twelve-month internship
may be taken in hospital dietetics, medical dietetics, food
clinic dietetics, public health and social agencies, college
institutional food administration, or food business adminis-
tration.

The undergraduate curriculum in dietetics contains a
minor concentration in chemistry. If desired, students may
be prepared for laboratory careers in scientific food re-
search, or in new food and recipe development for civilian

and army

The Home Economics Department also offers the oppor-
tunity for students to major in textiles and clothing.

Individuals interests in careers in the technical sciences
should be well grounded in the applied sciences. Such high
school subjects as physics, algebra , plane geometry,
trigonometry and industrial shop are very desirable for
persons planning to pursue engineering technology curricula.
Chemistry and homemaking are essential for those interested
in technical home i

Why Alumni Should Give
To Savannah State College

1. You can provide the opportunity for a better
life through education for deserving youth:
scholarships, loans, campus jobs, etc. One
dollar can bring in nine additional dollars for
student aid.

2. Your gift will be proof of a strong loyal, con-
tributing alumni group. Foundations, busi-
nesses, organizations, and individuals who are
interested in giving to Savannah State College
will be influenced by the extent of alumni
support.

3. Your contributions will enable Savannah State
College to match available federal funds for
research, for community service, and for train-
ing the deprived.

4. Savannah State College continues to be the
College in the state which educates the largest
number of Negro youth. Yet, a substantial per-
cent of Negro high school graduates do not en-
roll in any college. Your gift will cause the
open hand of welcome to continue to extend
from Savannah State College to the high school
graduate who might not otherwise enter college.

5. Now is the time to build the foundation for a
solid alumni annual fund. What you assist in
starting will become a fund with an impact.

6. Your gift may influence another alumnus who
otherwise would not contribute.

7. When you were a student at Savannah State
College, you, your parents, and others invested
in you. That investment is there yet. You have
received regular dividends. Increase your in-
vestment. Better educational opportunities for
others will add to your dividends.

8. As a person with a college education, you should
support education. // you dont believe in Sa-
vannah State College, who will?

9. Why should you give to Savannah State College?
BECAUSE YOU CAN AFFORD TO DO IT!
You probably have never had a higher income
than you have now. AFFLUENT PEOPLE
GIVE! ! !

President of Morehouse College Speaks at SSC

Dr. Hugh M. Gloster, president of Morehouse College,
Atlanta, Georgia, was the annual Honors Convocation speak-
er at Savannah State College on Friday, January 24, at 10:20

Dr. Gloster began his higher education at LeMoyne Col-
lege, where he received a junior college diploma and in 1967
was elected Alumnus of the Year. Next he attended More-
house College, where he received the B.A. degree in English,
and Atlanta University, where he received the M.A. degree
in the same field. Later, he entered New York University,
where he received the Ph.D. degree in English.

The early years of Dr. Gloster's teaching career closely
followed the path of his higher education. He taught first at
LeMoyne College and then at Morehouse College. While a
member of the Morehouse faculty, he offered graduate
courses at Atlanta University during the regular and sum-
mer terms. During the summer of 1949, he was Guest
Professor of American Literature at Washington Square
College of New York University, and during the summer
of 1962, he held the same position in the Graduate School
of Arts and Sciences at that institution.

During World War II, Dr. Gloster was a professional
staff member with USO. After a year as a USO Program
Director at Fort Hauchuca, Arizona, he served two years
as a USO Associate Regional Executive with headquarters
in Atlanta. While in this office, he conducted a course in
USO Policy and Practice at the Atlanta University School
of Social Work.

From 1946-67, Dr. Gloster was Professor of English
and Chairman of the Communications Center at Hampton
Institute. Under his leadership the Communications Center
became one of the country's outstanding college language
departments. From 1952-62, he was also Director of the
Summer Session at Hampton Institute. In this position, he
originated Hampton's pioneering pre-college program in
1952, promoted the redevelopment of the graduate program,
and established summer institutes for in-service teachers.
Dr. Gloster was Dean of Faculty at Hampton Institute from
1963-67. In this capacity, he gave leadership in the up-
grading of the academic program and in the launching of
special educational projects supported by foundation and
government grants.

Dr. Gloster has written numerous articles dealing with
life and literature and has given many lectures
in this field. He is the author of Negro Voices in
Fiction (Chapel Hill: The University of North
a Press, 1948), the definitive work in its special
area, and the co-editor of The Brown Thrust (Memphis:
Malcolm-Roberts, 1935), an anthology of verse by Negro
college students, and of My Life My Country My World
(New York: Prentice-Hall, 1952), one of the more success-
ful freshman English anthologies of the 1950's.

As a lecturer, Dr. Gloster has appeared in schools and
colleges throughout the country. In 1952, he made lecture
tours of colleges and universities in the Far West and New
England under the auspices of the American Friends Ser-
vice Committee, and in 1956 and 1959, he made lecture
tours of colleges in Connecticut.

From 1953 to 1955, Dr. Gloster was a Fullbright Pro-
fessor of Hiroshima University in Japan. While in Japan,
he traveled throughout the four main islands, where he
gave over a hundred lectures on American life and litera-

knowledge of the people of Asia and Europe and completing
a trip around the world. After his return to the United
States from the Orient, Dr. Gloster gave many lectures on
Japan at American colleges and wrote several articles on
Japan for national publications. Moreover, because of his
experience in the Far East he was invited to serve in the
summer of 1955 as a staff member in the Orientation Cen-
ter for Foreign Graduate Students at the College of William
and Mary and later in the year in Washington as a member
of a committee which screened lecturers and post-doctoral
research scholars applying for Fulbright awards in Asia
and the Near East during the academic year 1956-57.

During the summer of 1960, he was Professor of English
and Director of the Summer Session in the Experimental
College conducted by Hampton Institute in the Virgin
Islands. During the academic year 1961-62, he served in
the State Department's International Educational Exchange

College has received a contribution to its scholarship fund
of 1,000 from the Savannah Sugar Refining Corporation.
This contribution will allow the college to receive $9 for
each. Si contributed from the National Defense Education
Act of the Federal Government.

The college has received 100 shares of stock from the
Donner Packing Company for the purpose of setting up
the Paul Donner Scholarship Fund, the proceeds from which
will be used for the Scholarship Program.

SSC To Launch Its First Annual Community Support Program

Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., announces that the College
will launch its First Annual Community Support Program
on Monday, April 21. The program will end on May 3.

Through this organized effort of solicitation, the College
hopes to receive the financial and moral support of the
entire community. Instead of being asked several times a
year to donate funds to more than one program at the
College, the community will be asked for financial support
once a year during the Community Support Program.

According to Dr. Jordan, the purpose of this two-week
campaign is to raise $75,000 for the initiation of two new
programs, and to supplement existing ones.

The Student Assistance Program will provide scholar-
ships, loans, and employment for worthy students who
could not otherwise obtain the finances they need for a
college education. This money will be matched by federal
funds in the ratio of 8:1 or 9:1 depending on the program
in which it is used.

Last year, Savannah State College provided 302 students
with 8141,207 in financial aid, $17,995 of which was con-
tributed by the College. If the desired amount of money for
student assistance is received, the College will be able to
provide assistance to approximately 500 students during
the next academic year.

The Faculty Development Program will provide some
financial assistance to aid more faculty members in acquir-
ing the doctoral degree. In addition, this program will
provide the funds for in-service faculty members to attend
special institutes and certain financial supplements for
critical area faculty members.

The Enrichment in Study Skills Program will provide
"seed money" to study problems encountered in the fresh-
men program. With these funds, a study will be made of
existing programs in other institutions and a program will
be designed for the needs of Savannah State College.

National Science Foundation Awards Grant to SSC

Savannah State College was awarded a grant of 338,910
by the National Science Foundation for support of a "1969
Summer Institute in Chemistry for Secondary School
Teachers." This grant is under the direction of Dr. Willie
G. Tucker, Department of Chemistry, and will terminate on
September 30, 1969.

The National Science Foundation was established in
1950 as an agency of the Federal Government by an act of
the Congress. Annual appropriations made by Congress
enable the Foundation to carry out its responsibilities to
strengthen research and education in science and mathe-
matics. This project is one of more than 1,000 institutes
and research participation projects supported annually by
the Foundation for the purpose of improving the subject-
matter competence of teachers of science and mathematics
at all academic levels.

The objectives of the institute are: to offer teachers with
a very weak background in chemistry an opportunity to
increase their knowledge of the subject matter; to help fill
out a void in the teachers' background in subject matter
so that they may be motivated enough to eventually begin
an advanced degree program in chemistry rather than or in
addition to graduate study in the traditional education
courses; to increase the teacher's capacity to motivate
students into science careers; and to create in the teacher
a greater awareness of an appreciation for the work of
prominent scientists. This will also serve as a means of
stimulation and enthusiasm.

Each participant will be selected on the basis of ability
to show a particular need for the courses offered in order
to fill a deficient background, and thus improve his quality
of teaching. The deadline for making application is Feb-
ruary 15.

A participant must be presently teaching chemistry or
general science at the time of application. Most consideration
will be given to those applicants who have never participated
in a National Science Foundation sponsored Summer Insti-
tute.

Dr. Willie G. Tucker, Professor of Chemistry, will direct
the institute. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from
Tuskegee Institute in 1956 and 1958, respectively. His
research for the master's degree was concerned with a study
of exchange reactions in the preparation of flourothiethers.
Dr. Tucker received his Ph.D. from the University of
Oklahoma in July 1962. His research was concerned with
the preparation of 2-chloropyridine. Dr. Tucker served
four years as a Teaching and Research Assistant in the
Department of Chemistry at the University of Oklahoma.
He earned a certificate for completing the Radiological
Monitoring Instructors Course offered by the University of
Georgia Extension Division. He was main lecturer for an
In-Service Institute for High School Teachers of Science
1963-64, and for the NSF Summer Institute for High School
Students, summer 1964. He is a member of the Society of
Sigma \i. the American Chemical Society, and the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, and is listed in
American Men of Science.

Dr. Charles Pratt, Professor of Chemistry and Head of
the Department, will serve as an instructor for the institute.
He received his B.S. from Langston University in 1951,
and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of
Oklahoma in 1958 and 1962, respectively. During the
summer of 1965, Dr. Pratt was employed by the Savannah

River Plant of Atomic Energy Commission as a Research
Chemist. His teaching experience numbers five years in
high school in science and mathematics, plus four years
of college teaching. He attended a NSF Institute for High
School Teachers at the University of Oklahoma in 1957, and
served as Associate Director for an Institute for High
Ability School Students at Prairie View A. & M. College
in 1961. He also has publications in Science Education,
Pharmaceuticals (Local Anethetics) and Flavonoid Com-
pounds.

J. B. Clemmons, Associate Professor of Mathematics and
Chairman of the Department of Mathematics and Physics,
will also serve as an instructor for the institute. He received
his B.S. degree from Morehouse College; and his M.S.
degree from Atlanta University. He studied three years at
the University of Southern California. Mr. Clemmons has
completed residence work for the Ph.D. degree in mathe-
matics and his current research interests are concerned with
the Theory of Probabilities. From 1941 through 1945, he
served as high school principal, and joined the staff at
Savannah State College in 1947. He has studied under the
following fellowships: (1) Ford Foundation Faculty Fellow-
ship 1952-53; (2) National Science Faculty Fellowship 1957-
58; (3) University of Southern California Teaching Fellow-
ship 1954-55. Mr. Clemmons taught regular mathematics
courses at the University of Southern California as a Teach-
ing Assistant, 1953-54. He served as official mathematics
tutor for the University of Southern California's football
team. He is a member of the State Advisory Committee on
Mathematics and Evaluating Committee for Colleges in the
State of Georgia.

Savannah State College has received a grant totaling
$2,000 to support a two week Journalism Workshop for
high school teachers of journalism. This grant was approved
by the Newspaper Fund of the Wall Street Journal. The
workshop will be held at the college from July 21 to
August 1.

The purposes of the workshop are to create opportunities
for professional and evaluative guidance; to aid the partici-
pant in acquiring college training which will be of help in
improving scholastic newspapers and curriculum offerings;
to aid the participant in developing an increased awareness
of and respect for the social aspects and dynamic influences
of journalism in a democratic society; to create opportuni-
ties for the participant to acquire practical experience in
school newspaper and yearbook production; and to increase
the major forms of scholastic news writing.

Further the program promises to increase the partici-
pant's knowledge of the principles basic to high school
journalism; to develop an understanding of management
and labor and its relationship to the economy; to develop
the social skills basic to getting along with others; to develop
an appreciation for the printed word and its influence on
the reader; and to enhance the communicative skills.

Any high school, vocational or junior college teacher in
the South, whose duties include being an advisor to a
scholastic newspaper, yearbook, or whose teaching program
includes a course in journalism, is eligible for the workshop.

The applicant's previous training and experience in
scholastic journalism will not affect eligibility. The work-
shop is designed to help teachers with scholastic publica-
tions assignments acquire journalistic training and ex-
perience.

Each participant will receive five college credit hours for
participating in the workshop.

Mrs. Robinson Receives Ph.D. Degree

Mrs. Margaret Chisholm Robinson, Assistant Professor
of Biology, received the Ph.D. degree from Washington
University last month.

A native of Savannah, Georgia, she received the B.S.
degree from Savannah State College, and the M.S. degree
from the University of Michigan. In addition, she attended
a NSF Institute of College Teachers of Botany at Washing-
ton University.

Dr. Robinson's leaching experiences include: a teacher
of biology at Jefferson County Training School, Louisville,
Georgia from 1952-54; an instructor of biology at Fort
Valley State College from 1955-58; and she began teaching
at Savannah Stale College in 1958.

She graduated magna cum laude from Savannah State
College; is a charter member of Mu Chapter, Alpha Kappa
Mu Honor Society; and a member of Sigma Mu Honor
Society.

In a recent interview with Dr. Robinson, it was learned
that she has performed over 150 experiments within the
past year in the area of botanical science. Some of the
species and the microscope used were donated to Savannah
State College by Washington University.

When Savannah State College gave Dr. Robinson a
year's leave to improve her knowledge of botany, it got
more than it bargained for. Her academic work at Wash-
ington University brought her
$4,500 in scientific equipment
in which she is held.

The equipment includes a centrifuge, a spectrophoto-
meter, microscopes, chromatographer apparatus, ultraviolet
lamp, pH meter and time clock with switch.

Dr. Robinson feels that, "Now we are going to be in the
position to give students a well-rounded background and
some knowledge of plant life as well as of animal life."
She composes the entire botany department at Savannah
State College, but states that, "I'm looking forward to
attracting more faculty now that we have this new equip-
ment. 1 know that one of the things I would ask if I were
invited to join a college faculty is, "Could I do research?"
Now we can say "yes" because we will have the facilities
for it.

State Board Approves Revised School Standards

The State Board of Education at its February meeting
approved the withholding of funds from any school unit
failing to fully satisfy certain criteria in the revised School
Standards, and approved the construction of a two billion
dollar vocational facility in Lowndes County.

The revised school Standards will be divided into three
sections. Section I is to contain all criteria based on require-
ments of law, Section II, all criteria based on firm Board
policy and Section III, all other criteria contained in the
Standards as approved by the State Board. The Board
approved the withholding of funds from school units failing
to fully satisfy the criteria in Sections I and II until
necessary corrections are made.

The Board also made industrial arts a required part of
the secondary school curriculum and placed it in Section III
in the revised Standards.

The authority for withholding state funds comes to the
State Board under a Section of the Minimum Foundation
Program of Education Act. This section states in part:
"In the event a local unit of administration shall fail to
comply with any provision of this Act or other school laws,
or any provision of rules, regulations, policies, standards or
requirements established by the State Board, or the terms
of any contract with the State Board, the State Board may,
in its discretion, withhold from such local unit all or any

part of the State-contributed minimum foundation program
funds allotted to such local unit under provisions of this
Act until such time as full compliance is made by the local

The two billion dollar vocational facility in Lowndes
County will be sponsored by the Economic Development
Administration, the Coastal Plains Regional Development
Commission and the Lowndes County Board of Education.
It will be used to provide an educational program for the
economically deprived in a six county area Lowndes,
Berrien, Cook, Brooks, Lanier and Echols.

According to George Mulling, State Director of Voca-
tional Education, the new program will be designed specifi-
cally to prepare unemployed, unemployable youth and adults
and drop-outs for entry level jobs.

This facility will also be used to serve out-of-school
youth and adults for preparation for higher level job skills.

In their meeting the State Board also passed a resolu-
tion to the Georgia congressional delegation on Discrepancy
between Congressional authorizations for Vocational Edu-
cation for fiscal year 1970 and the Federal Budget Appro-
priations for Vocational Education for fiscal year 1970.
They pointed out that the proposed Federal Budget appro-
priates less money for Vocational Education than was
authorized by Congress for fiscal year 1970.

Free Job Placement Service Proves
Beneficial to Employers and Students

Six thousand leaders of business and industry are being
invited to participate in 1969 TECHDAYS, Georgia's state-
wide program for vocational-technical students, advises
Jack P. Nix, State Superintendent of Schools. Because of
its previous success, this year there will be two TECHDAYS
projects at Georgia's area vocational-technical schools: one
beginning April 16 and a second starting July 23.

TECHDAYS is a project to bring together area voca-
tional-technical students with potential employers. Before
development of TECHDAYS, Georgia industry often had
the problem of surplus job openings for which students
had been trained, but many graduates were unaware of
these available positions. TECHDAYS allows management
to interview potential employees in the setting in which they
are trained.

TECHDAYS has doubled in effectiveness during the two
years the project has been held, according to George W.
Mulling. Director, Vocational Education Division. In 1967
362 companies participated in the venture, compared to 643
businesses during 1968. In 1967 954 jobs were offered;
in 1968 1.978 openings were made available to the students.
Last year the Georgia Chamber of Commerce lent its
support to TECHDAYS with a statewide letter to employers
and local co-operation with individual schools. This year it
is lending the same kind of support.

Students who were placed by this Department of Edu-
cation service have praised past TECHDAYS for the
following reasons: there was a wide variety of companies
represented; students could talk to management about
available jobs and their benefits; the potential employer
could discover the type of instruction that was being offered
and under what conditions; il was possible to experience
a job interview in familiar classroom surroundings; and
concern was displayed by management towards the indi-
vidual student as an employee.

One employer advised Director Mulling that he has
retained five of the six TECHDAYS students he recruited
a year ago, and that he felt the students proved to be well
qualified when they finished the area school.

Skills taught in area schools include a multitude of
crafts from aviation mechanics and electronic technology
to cosmetology and medical laboratory research.

Georgia's area vocational-technical schools usually are
designated by the name of the community in which they are
established. The schools are located in Albany. Athens,
Atlanta, Augusta. Columbus, Coosa Valley. DeKalb, Griffin-
Spalding, Lanier, North Georgia (Clarkesville) , Macon
Marietta-Cobb, Moultrie, Pickens County, Savannah, South
Georgia (Americus), Swainsboro, Thomas, Troup County,
Upson County, Valdosta, Walker County and Waycross-
Ware.

Presently, the construction oj a new student center and
jood service building is underway at the college.

The building will feature a dining room equipped to
handle 1,200 students and will house all student activities.

A bookstore, snack bar, lounges, game and meeting
rooms and administrative offices will be included in the
student center.

Hypertension

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is the commonest
of the diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels. Sta-
tistics from the most recent national health survey indicate
that hypertension afflicts at least 17 million American
adults and perhaps as many as 22 million.

Hypertension accelerates the development of the artery-
clogging deposits of atherosclerosis. It substantially increases
the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Almost all cases of hypertension, whether mild or very
severe, can be controlled by any of a variety of effective
drugs or combination of drugs for reducing elevated blood
pressure.

The death rate from hypertension has decreased by
nearly 50'/< during the past decade.

Currently the National Heart Institute of the National
Institutes of Health is supporting more than 200 research
projects totalling more than S7 million dealing directly or
indirectly with improving methods of prevention, diagnosis
and treatment of hypertension.

These and other facts about hypertension are contained
in a publication recently issued by the National Heart
Institute. Entitled "Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)",
NIH Publication No. 1714, this booklet describes how
blood pressure is measured ; how it is controlled ; what
hypertension is; the causes and diagnosis of hypertension;
the drug treatment of hypertension and the effects of this
treatment; and what research is being done to find the cure
for hypertension. This 48-page, fully-illustrated publication
also contains a glossary of terms.

Copies of "Hypertension {High Blood Pressure)" (NIH
Publication No. 1714) may be obtained, free of charge, by
writing to the Heart Information Center, National Heart
Institute, Bethesda, Maryland 20014. Quantity copies my

Technology Is The Key

Technology is the key to achieving relevancy in the
schools. This is the point of view in the current issue of
Theory Into Practice on "Technology."

Guest Editor Wayne K. Howell, vice president of the
Fund for Media Research, stresses that technology in
itself will not solve education's problems if everything else
remains static. "Newer technologies cannot be effective
additives to an old system; they must be tested in totally
new educational designs," he said.

In the issue the writers and editors explore the problems
brought on when innovations such as the new technologies
are haphazardly applied in an "add-on fashion to the old
pedagogy of a rigid establishment."

Dr. Pratt Selected to Serve on Task Force

Dr. Charles Pratt, Head of the Chemistry Department,
was selected to serve on several task force committees of
the American Chemical Society which held its national meet-
ing in San Francisco, recently.

Dr. Pratt will serve on the Education in Writing Re-
search Proposals and Grants Committee which will consider
ways to assist small colleges, particularly Negro colleges,
in writing proposals for research and teaching grants. He
will also be concerned with the Education of High School

pkv J

Guidance Counselors Committee. This task force will con
sider a program to describe to guidance counselors, par-
ticularly in disadvantaged areas, the career opportunities
in science. It will also make plans for a program geared
to involve perhaps as many as 500 underprivileged students.
Dr. Pratt received his B.S. degree from Langston Uni-
versity, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University
of Oklahoma. His teaching experience numbers five years
in high school mathematics and science; plus four years
of college teaching. He attended a NSF Institute for High
School Teachers at the University of Oklahoma in 1957,
and served as Associate Professor for an Institute for High
Ability Students at Prairie View A & M College in 1961.
He also has publications in Science Education, Pharma-
ceuticals (Local Anethetics) and Flavanoid Compounds.

James E. Bess, an alumnus of the College, is presently
employed at the Boeing Atlantic Test Center, Cape Cana-
veral, Florida, as a price estimator. He is responsible for
preparing estimates in the areas of Engineering, Manufac-
turing, Material, Technology Proposals, and for the appli-
cation of appropriate Rates and Factors.

Additionally, Mr. Bess makes detailed breakdowns, de-
termines manufacturing processes to estimates, and
calculates material, labor tests, and costs to develop selling
price for spares, production design changes, and modifi-
cation of parts and assemblies. He also contacts change
board representatives and project engineers to verify or
supplement design change or modification information as
necessary to develop estimates; revises and maintains price
information in documents for departmental records; pre-
pares cost summaries, price breakdowns and justifications
as required.

On January 13 of this year, he received a Zero Defects
Award for his outstanding error-free preparation of pricing
estimates in Cost Accounting; and was selected "Employee
of the Month" for December 1968. In November of 1967,
he received a Certificate of Award from the Boeing Atlantic
Test Center in recognition of his personal contribution to
the team efforts which culminated in the highly successful
flight of the first AS-501 Apollo-Saturn Vehicle on No-
vember 9, 1967.

Tournament Win Puts Crown on Long Season

Savannah State College, playing in its last season of
SEAC competition, and perhaps one of the most frustrating,
made it a happy ending by winning the tournament in

The Tigers started off the long season by winning two
straight games. Dissension then hit the club and a number
of key players quit. The Tigers then fell into a losing
streak of eight straight games even with Michael Jordon
averaging in double figures, and so was Walter Fulton, who
graduated in December. Fulton averaged in his last 10
games 15.3 rebounds and 15.2 points.

January 10th was the beginning of a new era for the
Tigers, for on this date, 6' 7" center Vincent White return-
ed. Although White made 21 and 22 points respectively
against Paine and Fort Valley, the Tigers lost. After the
players got adjusted to each other, the Tigers were winners
from then on. With White in the lineup, senior guard Carl
Crump's point production greatly improved and so did the
teams' fast breaks.

Crump, in the remaining games, did not make less than
16 points in one game and against Voorhees, Benedict and
Florida Memorial he made 40, 43 and 43 respectively in
Tiger wins.

The Tigers not only had big gunners in White and
Crump, but also in easy-going 6' 7" forward Michael Jordon.
Jordon's points were made so effortlessly and this is why
he wasn't publicized much. The big guy, known as the
'California Flash', ended the season with 99 points in the

SEAC tournament to finish with a 23.9 clip. He led the
team in total rebounds and was second in average with 16
per contest.

Savannah State also had great games from Johnny
Abrahms, Jimmie Rutley, Ezra Gatewood, and Gerald
Hendricks. Rutley, Hendricks and particularly Gatewood,
were responsible for the Tigers winning the tournament.
Gatewood averaged 11.1 points in the tournament games,
while Rutley was directing the Tiger offense.

Coach Richardson's team in winning the tournament,
also dominated the awards that were presented. White,
Crump and Jordon were named to the first string all-tourna-
ment team; White and Crump were named to the all-con-
ference first teams, with Jordon being named to the second
team, and White was named the tournament's Most Valu-
able Player. Although White made only 55 points as com-
pared to Crump's and Jordon's 99 and 97, he averaged 22
rebounds in those three games and raised havoc on defense.
Coach Richardson was named Coach of the Year.

The shoot-em-up Tigers averaged 106.6 points per
game in the tournament and grabbed rebounds at an average
of 65 per contest.

The tournament win was of course the best way for
Savannah State to end its long career in SEAC. The team
will next season compete in the tough SIAC, against such
teams as Tuskegee, South Carolina State, FAMU, and of
course, Fort Valley. The opposition is great, but Coach
Richardson and the returning and new players look forward
to next season with much optimism.

Support Your Alumni Program

All of our alumni have every right to be proud of
Savannah State College and the progress that is being made.
This year the enrollment exceeded 2000 students for the
first time in the history of the college. As the student
population increases, your Alma Mater is also growing and
improving in many other ways. Within the last three years
eight new buildings have been dedicated. The beginning
of the past football season witnessed the dedication of the
new Football Stadium. A new student center-food service
building is presently under construction and three other
buildings are scheduled to be started prior to the end of this
academic year.

In addition, the college was recently accepted into the
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and conse-
quently will be expected to compete with stronger athletic
opponents. In order for our Alma Mater to compete with
such powerful opponents as Alabama State, Alabama A. &
M., Florida A. & M., South Carolina State, Tuskegee Insti-
tute and others in this conference, additional revenue must
be obtained to build strong competitive teams. The college
cannot provide these additional funds the Alumni Associa-
tion must accept this responsibility.

In April of this academic year Savannah State College
will launch its first annual Community Support Program.
An organized campaign will be conducted to secure sub-
stantial financial support from the total community. The
funds secured from this campaign will be used to initiate
certain badly needed new programs and to strengthen the
total development of the College.

As the chairman of the Alumni Campaign Committee,
I urge your support of the alumni efforts in this very worth-

while project. Alumni support will determine to a large
degree the kind of support that we may expect and receive
from others. I am personally making a substantial contri-
bution and encourage those of you who can to do so also.
Those who contribute $100 or more will become members
of the Savannah State College National Alumni Century
Club and will be honored at the Homecoming Banquet
during the Alumni Homecoming Weekend at the Manger
Hotel in the Fall. In addition, their pictures will appear in
an assigned section on the wall in the Administration
Building.

Sincerely yours,

Henry M. Collier, Jr., Chairman
Alumni Campaign Committee
Community Support Program '68-69.

Duke University, with the aid of an $85,000 grant, has
begun a scholarship program to bring underprivileged
students into its law school. The grant will provide three-
year, full-tuition scholarships for five students in each fresh-
man class during the next three years. Funds are being
sought to cover living expenses and other fees.

Eventually, Duke hopes to expand the program so that
at least 10 percent of each law class will be composed of
underprivileged students, primarily Negroes. Grants will
be made on a half-loan, half-scholarship basis, with one-
third of the loan forgiven for each year the graduate prac-
tices law in the South. The Duke law school opened its doors
to Negroes in 1961, but has had only four Negro graduates.

Mentally Retarded Can Be Workers

Georgia is proving that mentally retarded workers can
become productive and valued employees when they are
properly matched to their jobs.

During the four-and-a-half fiscal years that the Federal
Placement Program has been operated to help the mentally
retarded, 222 placements have been made in 14 federal
agencies in Georgia, according to John S. Prickett, Jr.,
assistant superintendent for rehabilitation services, Georgia
Department of Education. Prickett's office administers the
U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare funds
for the mentally retarded workers project.

This project was initiated in 1963 by President John F.
Kennedy to provide job opportunities in government
agencies for the mentally retarded. The program has
demonstrated to non-government employers that retarded
individuals can hold responsible positions in business and
industry.

A recent HEW survey reports that many of the place-
ments have earned promotions to more difficult assign-
ments after training. The survey rated Georgia eighth in
the nation in terms of total number of placements in federal
agencies. Among the jobs performed successfully were
those of typist, messenger, laboratory technician, clerk and
laundry worker.

Prickett said that rehabilitation counselors in the pro-
gram give clients a variety of services in preparation for
job placement; they also counsel clients after they are em-
ployed. Aid is given in such areas as housing, transporta-
tion, medical and financial assistance and training in proper
work habits and personal grooming.

Interested federal agencies may contact coordinators in
each of the eight vocational rehabilitation districts in
Georgia.

"The Negro in the 20th Century" is the title of a course
being offered this spring for the first time at the University
of Alabama. A continuation of an existing course "The 18th
and 19th Century Negro," the new course deals with the
relationship of the Negro to the industrial-urban environ-
ment of the U. S. A visiting professor from Stillman College
is teaching the course, which has about 100 students enrolled.

Charles F. Kettering II, founder and president of CFK
Ltd., Denver, Colorado, a philanthropic corporation en-
gaged in educational development, was elevated to chairman
of the board at a February 25 meeting of the organiza-
tion's board of directors. Dr. Edward Brainard, who has
served as executive vice president since the corporation was
founded, was named president.

CFK Ltd. was organized in 1967 with primary focus on
the improvement of the learning environment at the ele-
mentary and secondary school level. The corporation's cur-

rent work in the area of human relations in the school has
received extensive publicity nationally and internationally.

With CFK Ltd.'s assistance, six school districts around
the country are preparing detailed plans by which improved
means of emphasizing effective human relations as a basic
goal of these schools can be demonstrated. Seven educa-
tional consultants produced model plans for the project.

Another unique program is the development of an in-
service approach to individualized continuing education for
secondary school principals and their immediate supervisors.
This project has been undertaken by eight school districts.
It is aimed at the administrator's educational leadership
rather than his managerial functions.

Working out of Denver, CFK Ltd. differs significantly
from other funding organizations in that it assumes the
initiative and develops its programs by working directly
with able educators in selected school districts throughout
the United States.

THE PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE

Dr. HOWARD JORDAN, JR., PRESIDENT

The choice of a theme for this year's homecoming, "The Mystery of Black," seems significant
in these times when black people are striving mightily to help our nation renew itself. We as a
college community must stand before our countrymen and before the world as a bold and vivid
contradiction to the belief that black people -and the institutions which serve them are inherently,
intrinsically and generically inferior. We at this college without apology for our origin, without
shame for our character and without equivocation about our purpose, shall try to help our nation
take an honorable change of direction. Ours is no easy assignment but it must be done.

In addition to the relevant choice of a theme, the homecoming celebration at Savannah State
College is not all a matter of routine. Each year finds the college and the celebration different
and interesting. The rapid growth of the college, the changes in the physical plant, and the admis-
sion of more than six hundred freshmen serves as a basis for the uniqueness of this year. The
college is delighted to welcome alumni, former students, and friends to see and enjoy the college as
it exists in 1970.

It is my sincere hope that all who participate in homecoming this year will find the occasion
one to be cherished. We are especially happy to host our good friends from our sister institution at
Fort Valley State College. We extend a warm welcome to all of them.

Mrs. Jordan and I hope to have the opportunity of greeting each of you personally after the

YOUNG, GIFTED, AND BLACK, sets the tone for the Homecoming celebration.
Today's young person has many advantages in that, with the turn of events, the aware-
ness of a proud, Black heritage, the young, gifted, and Black student is being afforded
opportunities that were 'unheard of in the past.

As in previous years, the Savannah State College family is proud to welcome
alumni, and friends of the College, to the campus to share with us in this new "aware-
ness." It is our hope that while you are here, you will accept our invitation to tour the
campus and get a first-hand look at our new facilities which indicate the progress we
have made toward promoting academic excellence in the "young, gifted, and Black"
student. The entire College family has benefitted from the interest shown, and the ef-
fective participation of the alumni in the development of a finer and more effective
educational program here at Savannah State College.

We sincerely hope that all who participate in Homecoming this year will find the
occasion one to be cherished, and that the activities, including the football game, will be
a credit to the College and to our guests from our sister institution, Albany State Col-
RIGHT ON!

Savannah State College has one of the most beautiful campuses in the South. The campus encompasses 136 acres of
unparalleled natural beauty. Attractive new buildings are constantly being built. Put into use recently was the Martin Luther
King-Varnetta Frazier Complex, which serves as the student center and food service building. This building features a dining
room equipped to handle 1,200 students and facilities to house all student activities. A bookstore, snack bar, lounges, ame
and meeting rooms, and administrative offices are also included in this building.

Other new attractive buildings include the John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center, constructed at an approximate cost of
S700,000 and contains a Little Theatre, offices, classrooms, and laboratories for music, art, ceramics, and sculpture. New
buildings opened this fall include eleven faculty homes, a dormitory for 200 female students, a natural science building
and a warehouse and shop building. The dorm was built by the Walter Strong Company of Savannah at a cost of $925,-
000. The $1.1 million science building includes a low-radiation nuclear laboratory, an additional 10 laboratories for bio-
chemistry, chromatography, instrument and dark room, and other special laboratories for chemistry and physics. The ware-
house and shop houses space for buildings and grounds and general campus upkeep.

Savannah State College has requested from the Board of Regents the following facilities: a technical home economics
building, a business administration building, and a nursery school for early childhood education.

As a state institution, and at a time when the cry for equal opportunity is rapidly being met by the call of the tech-
nological and business world lor better trained manpower, Savannah State College recognizes that it must accept the re-
sponsibility of adequately preparing its graduates for these times.

College President

ALBANY STATE COLLEGE

To: Students, Faculty, Staff and Alumni

It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to send a message to our sister
college, Savannah State, in commemoration of its Annual Homecoming Event. To the
alumni who are returning to the institution to renew friendships and to enkindle new
friendships, please be reminded of the very important task which lies ahead of you
with respect to Savannah State as an institution within the University System of Georgia.
Through the years your institution has contributed greatly to the education of young men
and women of this state, a tradition which you should be very proud of.

From the faculty, students, staff and alumni of Albany State College we extend to
you best wishes and well wishes for your most cherished event the Homecoming Festivi-
ties. I trust that as our teams meet on the gridiron that each will conduct itself in a
gentlemanlike fashion with the hope that when the final whistle is blown such will in-
dicate that two institutions will have been well represented win, lose, or draw.

Again, our best wishes to all of you at Savannah State College.

Sincerely your

History of Albany State College

Albany State College, founded in 1903, marks its G8th year as the 1971-72 academic year com-
mences. The institution is a tax-supported liberal arts college, established and maintained by the state
to serve the people of Georgia, and particularly the youth of Southwest Georgia.

The school traces its evolution to the establishment of the Albany Biblical and Manual Training
Institute. Dr. Joseph Winthrop Holley, the Lincoln University (Pa.) educator, came to Albany seek-
ing aid and encouragement in the establishment of a school that would afford better advantages for
Negro youth. With the financial help of the Hazard family of Peace Dale, Rhode Island and several
of the leading white citizens of Albany, the Winnsboro, South Carolina native established the school
that is now Albany State College. These persons, particularly the Hazard family, responded liberally
to the needs of the school and, for many years, actively supported its growth.

In 1917, the state of Georgia through an act of the Georgia Assembly, assumed responsibility
for the operation of the school and its name was changed to the Georgia Normal and Agriculture Col-
lege. The institution offered work on the junior college level in teacher education, agriculture and
home economics.

President Holley retired and became President-Emeritus in 1943, forty years after the school's
founding, being succeeded by Aaron Brown as president.

In the first year of Brown's administration the name of the school was changed to Albany
State College and was upgraded to a four-year status, becoming a degree-granting institution in the
fields of elementary education and ho

In 1953, President Brown resigned to accept a position with the Phelps-Stokes Foundation and
was succeeded by William H. Dennis, Jr., who had been closely associated with him as director of
student teaching. Dennis succumbed in 1965 after eleven years at the helm and was succeeded by Dr.
Thomas Miller Jenkins, a former dean of the Florida A. & M. University Law School. Jenkins resigned
in 1969 to accept a post at Georgia State University, and was succeeded by Dr. Charles L. Hayes as
the college's fifth president.

The institution has grown steadily and has a projected enrollment of 2,175 students with more
than 500 courses and about 95 faculty members. This growth is further reflected in a steady building
program that included such recent construction as a student health center; faculty housing; the
Dennis Student Union, Gibson Hall, the new women's residence hall, an addition to the Science
Hall; and campus landscaping in several areas of the campus.

In his short span as head of the institution, Dr. Hayes is responsible for what may be the largest
project ever undertaken at the institution. Already constructed is a 90,000 project completing a
badly needed perimeter road around the campus and parking spaces. A face lifting job has been
done on the front of the campus featuring widened walkways, lights and shrubbery. One of two new
dormitory complexes has been opened for occupancy while the other is still under construction. Also
currently under construction on the front campus is a mall.

The campus ground, which spans a little more than 100 acres, is located immediately to the
east of the downtown area of the city of Albany.

Albany State College reflects the community and the area in blending new and old, tradition and
progress, while serving at the educational and cultural center of Southwest Georgia.

common goal and that is to achieve academic excellence.

We are a family of diverse backgrounds, and approximately 2,700 in num-
ber.

Here at SSC we take special pride in the matchless natural beauty of our
campus, and in our beautifully designed modern buildings, because we
know that these will lend inspiration to those who have gathered here lo
grasp the opportunity lo acquire the basic skills, attitudes, habits, ap-
preciations, and understandings requisite for the good life.

We feel that SSC today is a challenging place to spend four of the most
important years of your life. It is challenging because it has an excellent
faculty, a growing student body, and excellent facilities for study, residence
and relaxation.

Students enjoy life at our college. It is a friendly campus where each in-
dividual is respected and where members of the college family strive to
work, live and play together.

WE INVITE YOU TO IOIN THE SSC FAMILY AND SPEND FOUR OF THE

FROM THESE ROOTS

From a meager beginning in 1890 of a faculty of 4, an
enrollment of 8, and one building, Savannah State College
has grown to a 5-year unit of the University System o
Georgia with 97 full-time faculty members, 22 part-time
faculty members, approximately 2500 undergraduate
students, 98 graduate students and a physical plant con-
sisting of 31 buildings.

Savannah State College today, is a five-year accredited
college of arts and sciences, teacher education, business ad-
ministration, and technology. A graduate program in
elementary education was initiated during the summer o
1968.

The College is located in the historic city of Savannah, the
first capital of Georgia, and the second largest city in
Georgia.

Savannah State College offers courses leading to the
master's degree in elementary education, and courses
leading to the baccalaureate degree with a major in each of
these areas of concentration: accounting, biology, chemistry,
civil technology, dietetics and institutional management'
economics, elementary education, electronics technology!
English, general business administration, mathematics'
mechanical technology, secondary education, secretarial
science, social sciences, textiles and clothing, and criminal
justice.

Teacher education programs in the following fields have
been approved by the Georgia Division of Teacher
Education and Certification: elementary education secon-
dary education, with a concentration in business education
English, French, general science, industrial arts education'
mathematics, social studies, Spanish, trade and industrial
education, grades 1-12; art education, health and physical
education, music education and teacher-librarian

DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

A high school sludent who is preparing for a career in business via
the i ollege roule should direct his efforts toward becoming proficient
in mathematics and English at the high school level. Proficiency in
mathematics allows him to make quick use of quantitalive tools in
solving business problems Proficiency in English permits him to com-
municate his ideas The ability to do both are significant attributes of
business personnel

Though not essential, since the college offers the necessary fun-
damentals, a sludent may also take such courses as bookkeeping,
shorthand, and other business sub|ecls which are offered at his respec-
tive high school. Such an approach, at least, allows the student to make
a tentative judgemenl as to whether or not he is favorably inclined
toward specific subiecl areas. It should be pointed out unequivocally,
however, that business training, on the college level, embraces much
more than typewriting and shorthand.

The Division of Education al Savannah Stale College is a member of the
Association of Colleges for Teachers Education. It offers twelve curricula in teacher
preparation and a program of basic training for teacher-librarians. These programs
are approved by the Slate Department of Education. This means satisfactory com-
pletion of any program brings automatic certification in the field of study pursued.

A person majoring in Education al Savannah Stale College is the concern of every
division and department of the College; therefore, the resources and facilities--as
well as the interest and efforts of the entire institution, are al his disposal

Aside from a strong academic classroom program in general, specialized, and
progressional education, the teaching major at Savannah State College has rich,
varied, and meaningful laboratory experience which brings one into constant con-
tact with children and youth

COLLEGE-WIDE PROVISION FOR TEACHER EDUCATION

The Division comprises three departments: the Department of Elementary
Education; the Department of Heallh, Physical Education and Recreation; and Ihe
Department of Secondary Education. The preparation of teachers is, however, a
college-wide commitment. Because every division and department at the College is
involved in training teachers in some subject matter field, this function engages the
constant interest and efforts, staff resources, and facilities of Ihe entire institution

MODERN LANGUAGES

The Department of Modern Languages offers instruction in three languages:
French, German, and Spanish. The primary aim of the members of the Depart-
ment is lo leach Ihe student to understand, speak, read and write these
languages so that he may communicate with others who speak them. This

instruction is carried on in daily recitations in the classroom and also in a
modern twenty booth laboratory where the student can increase his
proticiency by listening to and repeating exercises of various types especially
prepared tor this purpose- For students who wish to develop more than an
elementary proficiency in French or Spanish, the Department offers courses
leading to a minor in either language. I! also offers courses leading lo Ihe
degree of Bachelor of Science in Education with a concentration in French or
Spanish.

Outside of the field of education, a person with a major in foreign language
can find employment in several areas. First, there is the area of organizations
more or less internalional in character. Because of the nature of its work, (here
is almost a constant demand at the United Nations Headquarters for men and
women who are proficient in foreign languages.

In the area of music, the Department of Fine Arts at Savannah Stale College
offers a major program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music
Education and two minor programs-one for prospective teachers in the
secondary schools and a nonteaching program. All of the curricula have been
approved by the three national accrediling agencies-The Music Teachers
National Association, the National Association of Schools of Music and the
Music Educators National Conference, as well as by the State Board ot Cer-
tification and the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.

One of the most important operations in this department is the awarding
each year of a number of scholarships, called grants-in-aid, which are given to
capable, worthy applicants in all organizations upon recommendation of the
department Depending upon the aptitude, academic standing and financial
need recommendation of the student, these awards are sufficient at times to
