BACC Speaks Again

Tile members of the Black
Awareness Coordinating Commit-
tee would like to welcome all of
the new students to Savannah
State College. We offer special
felicitations to those students,
especially the sisters, who are
proud of their hair. We feel that
wearing your hair in its natural
state or in an Afro cut is a step
in the right direction. For those
of you that are not familiar with
the organization (BACC I our pur-
poses on campus are to attempt to
make the student body more aware
of their Blackness, and to instill
pride in every so-called Negro.
We believe that the only way you
can bring about a chan';e in this

iocift\' is llirouLrh rcxolulionary
means. "The revolution being
fought now is a revolution to win
the minds of our people. If we
fail to win this one, we cannot
wage the violent one."

Our plans for this VJ6S-W
school year are to have our sec-
ond Annual Black Art Festival and
a few other projects and programs
that are still pending.

We wish to express our ideas
of how the Black Man in America
can best help his people and him-
self. We advocate BLACK POWER
very strongly, because we believe
it to be the only way for the Black

Political Strides

I Reprint from Safiinitnli Morning

\'i-IV.S )

By Harold Jackson
News Staff Writer

A jeering Reconstruction era
crowd of recently freed Negroes
gathered in the "Old Troup
Square" to hold what was called
a community political convention
to nominate candidates for the city
and state government in 1868.

Out of this mass of humanity
came James Porter, a local tailor
who was nominated for stale
representative from Chatham
County, along with another Negro.
James Simnis, who was elected
for the state Senate.

In the era of Mayor John
Screven of Savannah and Gov.
Rufro B. Bulloch of Georgia.
Porter was elected to represent
Chatham County, but was later
barred because of his race in
August 186ti. Two years later he
was granted his seat in the Georgia
General Assembly and became the
first Negro in Georgia to occupy
a seat in the Hou*e.

Il has been a long time since
Porter made his truniphant march
to the state Capitol to represent
Cliuthain County 98 years for
the record. And now. another
Negro will represent Chatham and
probably will take up where Porter
left off.

A young bespectacled attorney.
Bobby L. Hill, 26, recently became
the second Negro in Chatham's
22H-year history to represent the
county in the General Assembly.

He gained political victory in
the September joint primary by an
overwhelming margin over his
college pat and fraternity brother,
Sherman L. Robertson, with both
making their first bid in politics.

Porter had many political of-
fices to his credit in contrast with
Hill, who is still in his second year
as an attorney. Age wise. Porter
was 12 years Hill's senior, with
much more political experience.

Even before he began his
political bid. Hill was noted among
the students at Savannah State
College and the local community
as an outstanding orator and an
ambitious and determined leader.

It all started for Hill when he
was a senior at Savannah State,
when be led the students" attempt
to bring more student participa-
tion in the governing of the
college.

Majoring in economics and willi
his eyes set on becoming a lawyer.
Hill was successful with his stu-
dent followers.

But that was just the beginning
of big things to happen.

While serving as president of
the student body, he was elected
to one of the most sought after
awards at college Man of the
Year.

He later graduated with top

easting iheir vuies for none other ihan George C. Wallace.

Allhou;!h I agree ihal liicre isn't anyone running ihat I would like
to see ip ihe While House, there is definitely one man 1 don'l want

I'or lliosc of you who are away from home I suggest you look into
llie possibility of an Absentee Ballot. For those of you who are native
Georgians 1 hope you plan to go home to vole. I know you are thinking
now about the cost of ihe trip home but I think you should think less
alioul llie cost i)f ihe lr!|i and more alioul ihe possibility of the election
In-ing thrown into the Hou'^i' in January.

Those of us who ore from the South know thai our representatives
in Congress don't represent our (Black People) best interest and so ihey
will casl their voles for llie Independent Candidate. Little do they care
iilioul the ronseiptences if a man like Wallace is elected. They fail to
reali/.e tlial Wiiliaee is an irrational man and just like all irrational men
(Hitler for example) once in power there will be nothing the public
can do lo check his power. Nol only will this racisl have the position
to foster his plans of rnci.sm: but he will have at his disposal all the
nuclear weapons in the United States. His presence in the t^Tiite House
would nol cmly make the United Stales a hard place to live but he would
make the world a difficult place to continue our juesent form of co-
eNislence. (leorge Wallace is not only dangerous lo the Black Man.
but to ever) man: beeause anvlhing that he does to hurl the Black Man
will without a doubt hurt every citizen in this country.

So go lo the polls Black Brothers nol so much to east your votes
for Die Hard Nixon or War Ihuvk Humphrey but go to casl sour vote
againsl George C. Wallace.

Top Ten Soul

Savannah State

By Augu.-^tus Howard
I n a survey of the Top Ten

young ladies whom I'll refer to as
my Panel of Rec-Perls. The panel
consists of Barbara Camp,
Jacquelyn Boyd, Joyce Davis.
Marlha Jackson. Ella Anderson,
Barbara Stewart. Joyce Ann Perry.
Velma Walker. Ruby Smith, and
Isolene Cooper. In coming to a
decision, I compiled all of them,
came out with these averages ( the
[jfoccss took about one hour), and
ihe'e are the results. You may
not agree with all of them, but
I'm sure that they are jiving with
most of you.

with them. I"m sure you do.

The oick in the list that made
the charts the quickest was Mar-
vin Gaye's version of "I Heard It
Through the Grapevine." I'm sure
that all of you remember the first
one by Gladys Knight and The
Pips from Atlanta, Ga. The "Lale
Great" Otis Redding's "Dreams
To Remember" made the charts
quickly also, as all of his records
have since the BIG O'S untimely
death. Three sounds to be on the
lookout for are. Girl Watcher.
Destination Anywhere, and A
Message from Maria. When the
next paper comes out, these ihree
may just be in the Top Ten.

Well. James Browns Black and
Proud smash has been on top since
it was first played. Because of its
help in waking up "BLACK
AMERICA," it'll probably be on
top for quite a while. So until
ne.\l month, "Say It Loud, I'm
Black and I'm Proud."

What A Way To Begin?

Quarter, after quarter after miserable quarter the new and con-
tinuing students of Savannah State are inevitably submitted to thai
"Great" experience of registration. Being fairly optimistic. I am sure
Ihal many students have silently thought, well maybe things will be
better next quarter or next year. Pulling it truthfully, things never
gel better to the misfortune of the student.

Okay, so we pre-register So whal? In some cases, the courses
you're registered for has been changed lo another (most likely con-
flicting I hour or even without notice lo the victims I students I dropped
from the schedule completely. Bul how's this for the helpfulness of
pre-registration? Suppose you've pre-regislered, to learn that your pre-
regislration set has been lost. Okay so you fill out another set of cards,
stand in lines and more lines, to learn after swollen feel and exhaustion
that your set has been found and had only been "misplaced."

Worse still, try sitting-in on a class until your schedule is straight-
ened out and have' a ridiculous faculty member tell you that you can't
sit-in their class, due to the impression other students might get because
of your presence. So you missed your first day of classes, simply be-
cause your schedule wasn't siralghl. So What? Is the expressed attitude
of some instructors, forgetting all the lime, that they were once students
going through this hectic process?

Bright idea to someone's credit Let's try computerizing registra-
tion! Biii Deal! Lousing up computer or human fault is still lousing
u|). Try pre-registering for a certain class load. If you get all of
voui classes, you're lucky. But if you're in what appears to be that
vast majority you're lucky to get ten or fifteen hours when you pre-
register for sixteen, eighteen or even twenty hours.

I am quite sure that the administration is well aware of this
ridiculous situation. But I am well aware that seemingly nothing has
been done to improve it. at least since Fall 1966. Basically, I feel that
a lack of personnel and organization is the key to our problem. What
SSC needs is a new system of registration, which will lessen the strain
on all involved. However, if the administration just can't find an im-
provement or another system, try letting a student committee work on
the situation, or belter still, try starting classes a day or two later.

F4-C+T^TD + SU!

At any rate "Fighting" lines for hours + closed classes + trips
across campus to and from advisors. Dean of Faculty and Registrar's
office = thorough disgust and student unrest!

I don't like the idea of paying
room deposit, then when I get on
cam|)us the dean tells me 1 have
to stay off campus. I think they
should send letters lo you in the
mail, so you can make plans be-
fore you come. L. M.

The administration and staff
should set up a new system for
registration instead of having lo
go ibrough a long process.

The Essence of Learning

By Cordell Welcome

Mv experience this summer at Harvard University conveyed to me
the true meaning of learning in our vastly revolutionized world. As a
result of my course of study, 1 have become more aware of my black-
ness and the significant role dial we can play in the white man's
competitive society. My primary goal while participating in the pro-
gram was the acquisition of knowledge, that of the biological type and
that not related to science.

As for you. my black brothers and sisters at S.S.C, 1 wish to erase
the so-called intellectual superiority of whites: by letting you know that
it is the result of exposure that they get ahead. This is fastly becoming
a myth because I am a living proof that we too can be exposed. I would
like to think of myself as having come, seen and conquered: for I
acquired that which I came lo get "knowledge." We are sleeping
giants of this changing world. We must wake up and take complete
advantage of the preferential treatment that is now available to us.

LINDA MORGAN

Knowing youi lioroscupe of fashion is a good way of keeping
up-to-date in our world of style.

Libra, the Scales (September 27 - October 23). Sock-it-on, girls!
It is the Fall and school has begun. Since Savannah's weather is
unpredictable, why not step into the giant cotton plaid scene. The tab-
button jumpers with great big pockets in front and in back, joining
side pleated kilts with "'tighten up" any Autumn day.

This month Miss Linda Morgan (a sophomore) features one of the
leather collections that has become so i)opular on SSC's campus. This
outfit is a vestsuit. The change-bottom leather vest matches a large
white collar blouse with ruffled cuffs. Adding to the touch is the silk
polka dotted tie. Miss Morgan also adds white socks and "goldfinger"
shoes.

Another trim in style is the African print which Miss Jacquelyn
Robinson is wearing on our campus. The African print is made in the
butterfly lines. The prints are of a variety of four bright colors. Her
accessories are of African beads, earrings and Italian sandals. To top
her outfit off. Miss Robinson wears her hair in the natural look.

Scorpio, the Scorpion (October 24-November 25). Sit tight!
Here we go again! Football, football, let the Tigers of SSC win your
heart. Pants are what attracts the eyes of the men at SSC. The groove
in bell-bottoms, the Nehru collar, or the tailor loose man appearance
would wrap anyone up.

Parties, parties, this is the target for our Homecoming Dance
activities. The sheik-look for evening wear is the velveteen black and
gray lace trim dresses, with a mini length to touch off an extra line.

Wins Sprin*i
Clean-up Project

By Barbara M..ble>
As most of you probably know
by this time. Savannah State Col-
lege won the contest in tlie 1968
Spring Clean-up project against
its opponent, Armstrong State Col-
lege, and S5,fl0() was presented to
tlu- college by Mr. Wilbur Me-
Affee, Chairman Advisor.

Yet in addition to that 5,000
an additional SLOOO was also
presented for the individual organ-
ization which so faithfully worked
along with us. Indeed at the time.
I wish to thank each of the stu-
dents, and organizations who
worked with me and the staff of
1968 Clean-up Savannah project,
1 sincerely hope that each of
you will join the others and me
in recommending that this entire
S6,000 be placed in the SSC
Matching and Scholarship Fund;
so that it will be made possible
for us to assist many of the worthy
students entering Savannah State
College.

As the General Chairman of the
Clean-up project, it is my sincere
desire and wish that each of you
who worked so faithfully and hard
will come to the same decision and
agreement as 1 have; and try to
realize that by our placing this
S6,000 into the Matching and
Scholarship Fund would indeed
be a great and honorable help to
our institution.

Therefore, ladies and gentle-
men, I wish to ask that each of
you come to one decision as to
which part of the money you wish
to place to the funds; and where
would you like for the rest of the
money to be placed.

Again, may I say thanks to each
of you for doing such a great job
in helping to clean-up the city of
Savannah.

It may interest you to know that
the students who worked so hard,
have made this project nationally
known. Many stales, cities, and
even towns, throughout the United
States of America, have come to
realize the true meaning of what
poverty really is and that there is
something that can be done, and
have therefore started a clean-up
project of their own similar to
this one.

I'inally. we are the sole sup|)ort
of what has made the city of
Savannah a more beautiful and
progressive place to live in. So
when you make your decision
toward the award that was pre-
sented to our institution, think
of those worthy students who are
not able as some of us, to get to
scliool on their choice. Let us
all agree to place the S6.000 into
the Matching and Scholarship
Fund.

Ladies and gentlemen the final
decision lies solely in the hands of
your honest and united judgment.
Thank you once again in behalf
of our beloved President, Dr.
Howard Jordan. Jr., Mr. Mills B.
Lane. President of the Citizens
and Southern National Bank and
sponsor of the project: Mr. Wilbur
McAfee, Dr. Prince Jackson, Mr.
Larry Sims, President, Student
Government Association ; and
yours truly, Cuthbert Burton, Gen-
eral Chairman and Coordinator of
the project.

Juanila Rudnlph. Treasurer; Mae
B. J.irk-nn. lieporter, and Miriam
McMutlcn. Organist.

Officers of instruction include:
Mr. Bernard L. Woodhouse, fresh-
man instructor and advisor; Mrs.
Mollie N. Curtright. sophomore
instructor: and Reverend James
McKiever. junior and senior in-
structor.

Never before the din will we sec

Never before the mistake is made

Never before a crisis d<j we often

Never before the child is spoiled

It's never before all of these

SSC Sponsors
Citizens' Institute

President Howard Jordan. Jr,
announces that Savannah State
College will sponsor a Citizens'
Institute on Law Enforcement.
This institute will be held on
October 28th and 29th. from 6
to 9 p.m., in Pavne Hall, Room
1D4 or 109.

Goodwill is never a gift. It has
to be developed and earned. This
Institute will emphasize many
ways in which goodwill can he
cultivated. All of the methods sug-
gested are common sense measures
that have been used successfully
by citizens and the police officers.
Inadequate police community
relations are a problem born of
our times for which we must find
a solution. This solution is a
probable aim of the Citizens In-
stitute. A planning meeting has
been scheduled for October 14 at
the Frazier Home Community
Center on May Street, adjacent
to Robert M. Gadsen School, at
7:30 p.m.

Richard H. Snibbe, Athens.
Georgia, will serve as one of the
chief consultants for the Institute.
Snibbe received his M.S. degree
in Criminology from Fresno State
College, California. His previous
work experience includes service
as a Military policeman, criminal
investigator in Europe, service on
the Municipal Police Department
of California, faculty member of
the International Police Academy,
State Department. Washington.
D. C. He is presently a coordinator
at the University of Georgia.

Interview Willi
Mr. K<>IhiI Ihigons,
New Dietician

By Augustus Howard
Question: "How do you like
working here at Savannah Slate
College?"

Answer: "I like it here very
well. The type of job that 1 had
previously. left little time for me
to spend with my family. This job
is not so time consumitig, there-
fore. I have more time with my
family."

Question: "Where were you em-
ployed before comina to Savannah
Slate?"

Answer: "I worked for Saga
Food Seri-iee. We fed over 1,900
students at Carol University in
Ohio. I was also connected with
student feeding at Michigan State,
where over 1,400 students and the
entire Cleveland Browns football
team were fed. I was employed
with this firm for over five years."
Question: "What are some of
the changes that have occurred
since your arrival, and what are
some of your other plans?"

Answer: "The dining area has
been been improved, chutes have
been built in the wall, there is a
choice in the selection of food,
and young ladies have been em-
ployed at the food counters
which I think is a nice idea. The
staff and I have been familiarizing
the students with foods that they
ordinarily get at home, and so
far. we have been getting nothing
but compliments. As for the future,
we are trying to organize a buffet,
at least once a month which I
think will be sort of a treat for
the students. We have purchased
equipment that will speed up pro-
duction. Each employee has a
work schedule and knows his e\act
job; this will let everyone know
what he is to do, and prevent mix-
ups."

Question: "Inhere did you re-
ceive your education?"

Answer : "I graduated from
Culinary Institute of America,
after which I continued my studies
at Brocten Chef Institute in
Brocten, Massachusetts. I also
had one year of apprenticeship at
the Culinary Institute."

in classrooms across the country
this fall, as colleges and universi-
ties integrate their curriculum as
well as their campuses.

Ever since last spring and the
uproars in many schools following
the assassination of Dr. Martin
Luther King, professors and ad-
ministrators at countless insti-
tutions have organized courses and
even departments in Afro-Ameri-
can Studies.

Much of their activity is directly
traceable to pressure last spring
from student groups who feU that
in presenting only white American
history and sociology and litera-
ture, colleges were ignoring or
downplaying an important facet
of the nation's culture. Professors,
who decided that America's racial
crisis necessitated a deeper and
more diverse knowledge of Ameri-
can minorities than present
scholarship made possible, joined
the fight.

Previous study of black civiliza-
tion had been limited almost en-
tirely to the history or geography
of Africa. Now, students wanted
to learn about the Negro in
America his history and his
contributions to their society, his
political and intellectual evolution
from slave into militant.

Most of the courses in black
studies deal with Negro literature
(writers like LeRoi. Jones, James
Baldwin). Negro American history
I on which DuBois and historian
Staughton Lynd have written I.
and music and folklore. Also
common are courses on proverty,
race relations and other sociology
courses.

Even schools who enroll sub-
stantial numbers of black students
are expanding their black cur-
ricula. Many of them are adding
Swahili to their language courses:
universities in New York City
and Chicago have done the same.
Northwestern University offers
courses in four African languages.

Focus program offers "Political
Economy of Discrimination" :
Cornell University is introducing
"Economic Development of the
llrban Ghetto"; Northwestern
Illinois State College offers a
"Seminar in Inner City School
Problems."

Under pressure from sociology
students, many universities which
used to send students into nearby
cities to work in housing projects
or voter registration as part of
other courses are now giving
credit for "field work" in ghetto
neighborhoods.

In schools which so far have not
established courses or decided to
give credit for existing community
action programs, students and pro-
fessors have set up their own non-
credit or "free university" courses
in black history and literature or
"soul music."

Why the sudden furor over
black studies? Many educators, as
well as students, have been ac-
cused of neglecting black students
and black culture in their cur-
riculum plans; students have felt
guilty about the common ex-
clusion of blacks from intellectual
credibility. Most academicians
now have expressed the need for
learning more about the cultures
that function within the larger one
of WASP and Irish-Catholic
America.

At Cornell, which is contemplat-
ing an undergraduate major and
a graduate field in African
Studies in addition to its new
courses, graduate student Paul
DuBois, in an ad hoc committee
report, told the university:

"Obviously, change will neither
be easy or immediate; the po-
tential contribution of the pro-
gram can only be realized after
careful consideration is given to
its precise structure and content.
Yet. the need for care and
precision must not be used as an
excuse for inaction and delay.

"The University must soon con-
front its social responsibilities or
its primary contribution will have

been to the disintegration of
own and the larger society."

lUving Reporler Howard Interviewing Dorothy Hollinger

When I asked the followhig questions to many of the cute Fresh-
man guis thai came to SSC this year and some of tlic guys. I receiyed
many answers. The answers follow the questions.

Question: Being a freshman, how do you like Sayannuh Slate
College:' Did anyone or anything make you decide why to come here'
Did you read about it. or did u former graduate or student hip you to
ilj' Just what made you decide to make Savannah State College your
Alma iVIater? " '

111 Precious Dean Bolton. Secretarial Science. West Side Hi"h
Lincolnton. Ga.: As a freshman, I like SSC very much. 1 chose to come
here because I had heard many interesting things concerning the busi-
ness majors, especially in the major that I am pursuing. Mrs. Parker
counselor at West Side High also inspired me to come here.

i!i 1 'i^' ^O"''"' Hilliuser- Business Education. Washington High,
blakely. Ga. : I chose to come here because I think that they have a
ver; good Business Department. I know this for a fact ! We have two
business instructors to graduate from here, and they - "

good!

|.il Julia Mobley, Sociology. Blakeney High, Waynesboro, Ga.:
I like SSC because I think it is the finest college in Georgia. I chose
In come here because one of my former instructors, Mr. Johnny Brown,
loid me so much about it.

l-il Hennie Peterson. Social Science. iMayo High. Darlin-ton
South Carolina: I like SSC because it offers so many fields of vocation.
The reason 1 came down here was because a friend of mine here
inspired me to come to SSC. So far it has been a nice experience
meeting new people and learning to live in a new environment.

I.il Brenda Foston. Elementary Education. J. F. Boddie High.
iMillid^.i ill,.. Ca.: 1 chose this college because of the nice surroundings
ail, I ilir Ill-Ill, spoken things that some of my friends had said. 1 often
M-ihd --M. iind it was very nice to see such inspiring people. The
inspiration of these people made me choose SSC as my Alma Mater.

|6| Naomi Butts, Sociology, Campbell Senior High, Daytona
Heacli, I'lorida: While traveling last winter I met a few basketball
players from SSC who spoke very highly of SSC. Because of the things
that were said about SSC by these young people and after reading about
and visiting this college. 1 chose SSC as my Alma Mater. I too can
now help loosen the shackles of ignorance that bound my people.

(71 Joyce Holhngei. Sociology. Washington High. Blakely. Ga.:
1 ve chosen SSC be?auEe I feel that they have the best or one of the
best programs to offer in Social Science. I have friends and relatives
who have attended SSC. They put in some good words for SSC I then
had the o|)portunity to visit the campus. It was this trip that made me
decide on SSC and SSC only. The campus I feel was the greatest
experience or influence.

181 Otis Fletcher. Central High. McRae, Ga.: I felt that the field
1 would major in could best be supplied here. To some, college life
IS dull in the field of socialism, but to me. I have enjoyed the past
weeks. I hope that from this point that the lights of opportunity may
shine m my path, thus giving me the choice.

reason that inspired me to come here is the Men's Glee Club. I am
anxious and ready to sing.

1 101 Brenda Sutton, English, Lucy Laney, Augusta, Ga.: 1 like it
O.K., but I don't like being on probation one bit. I chose to come here
for man) reasons, but I will only name a few: 111 good education. |2|
to get away from home, and I .^ I to find a husband.

(Ill Charles Jones. Jr.. Electronics, Liberty County High. Mc-
intosh, Ga.: I can truthfully say that my brief stay here at SSC has
been more rewarding than I suspected it would be. I decided to attend
here because of the variety of subjects and extracurricular activities
opened here. I found out about SSC by reading and from former high
school teachers.

,., "?l Lurine Burke, Biology, Blakeney High, Waynesboro, Ga,:
I like SSC because it offers a variety of scholastic opportunities and
educational facilities. It is one of the finest colleges in the stale of
t>eorgia and its educational program thoroughly prepares one for a
successful future.

1 13 1 Harold Curry, .Math, Whitman Street High. Toccoa, Ga.:
As a freshman, I like SSC as much or more than I could like any' other
college, I grow more fond of it every day. I chose to come here because
of the campus and the city is so beautiful; also because I know some
very intelligent people who graduated from here.

114) Diana Boyd. Business Education, Peter G, Appling High,
Macon, Ga.: Being a freshman is something that I've always looked
forward to. I chose Savannah State, the college by the sea, because
I feel it has much to offer me in oblaining my goal, I feel that I will
require more knowledge that will help me in my society, church, and
community.

11.51 Dora Jean Jakes. Music. Altapulgus Mt. Mariah High. Atta-
pulgus. Ga.: I think SSC is a wonderful college. I like it very much

what thev bad said was true. "I just LOVE SSC!"

want to close ranks and
strengthen our separation. Tliis is
where BLACK POWER and
BLACK UNITY take over. BLACK
UNITY and BLACK POWER are
closely related: because with unity
comes power if it is used effec-
tively. We all need the help of
each other. "Individualism is a
white desire; and co-operation is
a Black need." Intellectual and
cultural enlightenment are part of
the bettering of Black Communi-
ties. "Black people have got to
start believing that what you're
going to hear is more important
than what you're going to say,
'cause you already know what
you're going to say. You've said
it 500 times."

One of the main frustrating
problems of the Black Man is self
hatred. The reason for this is that
we know so little about ourselves.
We know only what he has put in
his news media and through his
teachings. The white man has
drawn a distorted picture of the
Black Man in America. He has
robbed us of our pride by saying
that we had bad hair because it is
KINKY and just look around you,
and at yourself and see how many
people still believe this fallacy.
"We say 'NEGROES' are suffer-
ing from mass insanity. Any man
who burns his hair, bites his lips,
or bleaches his skin has got to be
insane."

The white man has not only
taken our culture and history but
our names from us. He will go to
any extent to keep us from identi-
fying with our true self. L.et us
Black Men build Black schools so
that our children will have the
true knowledge of themselves. Be-
ing BLACK has seven aspects:
ACT BLACK. TALK BLACK,
BUY BLACK, CREATE BLACK,
VOTE BLACK. THINK BLACK,
and LIVE BLACK. UHURU!!

JEWEL WISE

The Natural Look seems to be
one of the trends around our
campus. The girls who are wear-
ing this trend seem to be very
proud of it just as others are.
When asked the following ques-
tions, they answered :

Nora Marshall (Freshman):
"My friends and associates have
stated that they admire my
natural, mainly because of
two factors. First, it is very neat,
clean and intact. Secondly, it looks
nice on me. As far as the faculty.
I have not received any com-
ments."

Michcle Lyons (Sophomore):
"When I first started to wear m>
natural. I received quite a few
mixed comments. Most of llir'
comments were favorable, but j
few of my friends couldn't undi r-
stand why ! wanted to go natural. '
Shirley Young (Junior): "My
friends and instructors are very

important to me, but my aware-
ness of my heritage is ever more
important. I am "Black and
Proud" and nothing can change
that fact."

Sharaveen Brown (Junior):
"My friends and instructors have
acce|)ted my Natural Look very
well. I have received many corn-
I)Iinicnts on the 'New Me.' People
are now realizing that we can be
our natural selves. Black, Proud
and Beautiful."

Jewel Wise: "The aesthelical
beauty of the 'Natural' (the hair
style that springs back into its
own curls) is truly uncompromis-
ing. The reception of my Natural
Look has been most compli-
mentary, from students and faculty
members alike. I am proud uf

Deleriuined Ti<;;ers Wallop Allen

By A. Howard

Tile high spirited Savannah
Slate Tigers, sparkled by a great
defensive display which accounted
for a tiv'o point safely, won their
first game of the season. 22-(t.

The first quarler saw an awe-
some display of power by both
teams. Led by tlie tiickles of Berry
and Smith plus a key interception,
ihc Tigers quelled the Allen at-
tack. At the tail end of the first
period, the Tigers broke through
-Mien's defense on a punting situ-
ation and blocked the punt, recov-
ering it on the 27 yard line. On
a key third down play. Bell hit
Legget for a 12 yard first down.
On the first play ojjening up the
second quarter. Quarterback Felix
Bell scored on a ') yard scamper
behind some nifty blocking. The
Tigers made a two point conver-
sion and led, 8-0. With the de-
fense rising to the occasion, the
Allen team was held to nauglit the
remainder of the second quarter,
as was our offense. Halftime
score, 8-0, Tigers.

Before everyone had finished
marvelling at the halftime per-
formance by the reformed Tiger
Band, the Allen team struck fast
on a 67 yard touchdown run bv
fullback Oscar Polite wlio weighs
230 pounds. They also made the
2 point conversion and tied it up
at 8 aU.

The Tiger defense, angry for
permitting a run so long, had a
tenacious charge on the quarter-
back in the closing seconds of the
third period and dumped him for
a 2 point safely, making it 10-8.
We then got the ball on ihe en-
suing kick-off. Aided by two 15
yard penalties against Allen, the
Tigers marched to the 5 yard line.
Felix Bell, running acrobatically,
skirled the sidelines behind some
scorching blocking and slipped in

for the Inuclulowii. The PAT
failetl. The score thus read 16-8.

Tlie Tiger defense, clamoring
for \ictory, slopped the big back
from Allen on many plays, and on
one in particular, Willie iClanki
Armstead belled tlie "A" out of an
Allen player on a punt. Tempers
flo(ved. but that was it.

The Tigers, not satisfied with
16 points, were growling for more.
With the ball on ihe eight, quar-
lerback Felix Bell carried it both
limes and scored on the second
try from 2 yards out. The con-
version failed, hut the damage had
been done or the pre) had been
pounced upon. Amidst some tem-
per tantrums, the Tigers walked
away with a magnificent 22-8 vic-
tory.

Frank Bell scored all of the
touchdowns in the Tiger contest
prior to this one. but Felix Bell
sup|jlied the fireworks in ihis one
by making three touchdowns. Tlie
Bells are now ringiny..

The Tiger defense jelled in this
encounter just as ihey did in our
first contest, but the results this
lime were in our favor. Armstead,
Berry. Peebles. Oliver. Smith,
Betts. Brown, Elley, Denegal,
Parker. Garret. Jones, and Donald
Wright performed excellently. The
offensive line, Wright, Armstead,
Stinson. McDowell, and Brown,
did their utmost best in blocking.
Ever) member gave it 100 per-
cent and that is what it takes.
Tiger foes beware!

SSC Tigers Lose
In Wild Comeback

Bv Augustus Howard

The Roaring Tigers of Savan-
inah Stale College, led by the
heroics of senior Felix Bell, ihe
passing of sophomore Freddie
Mosley. plus a fired up defense,
almost did the unbelievable in
their first game of the season
against Alabama Stale College.
I>ut lost like heroes in the thriller
35-32.

The first half was dominateii
by the Alabama team. The Hornets
from ASC scored three touch-
downs in the first quarter and one
in the second. Led by a fine run-
ning attack and excellent pass re-
ception, they completely dominated
our defense. They made two by
air and two by ground. The Tigers
of Savannah Stale weren't in the
groove and couldn't penetrate
ASC's defense. The halftime score
thus read ASC 28, SSC 0.

The third quarter will be re-
membered by the students and
faculty plus spectators as being
the most exciting and furious in
Savannah State histor\. The first
Tiger touchdown came on a one
yard run by the flashy Israel
Randall. Steve Jones made the
PAT. The second exciting touch-
down came on a pass that covered
39 yards from Mosely to flanker
Felix Bell. Again the PAT was
good b\ Jones. Before Tiger fans
could catch their breath from the
last tally. Mr. Bell was again on
the receiving end of a long bomb
from Mosely. This one covered .'^l
\ ards. but the conversion failed.
Barely 90 seconds had elapsed
when tackle Jack Elly intercepted
a pass, hesitated, then non-
chalantly rambled H yards for
another touchdown. Tiger fans
n'ere going wild in the stadium.
The team tried lo tie up the game
by making two points, but it
failed. In the wild third period,
the mighty, mighty Tigers made,
on sheer determination. 26 points
against a team that hadn't allowed
four touchdowns in one game in
the past four years! This was quite
a feat. The third period score read
28-26 ASC.

While the offense was making
all of these fireworks, the Tiger
defense was shutting ASC out.
Jones. Denegal- Brown. Elly,
Berr\. Garrett. Walker. Betts.
Parker. Oliver, Harris. Peebles.
Wright, and Armstead. the Tiger's
defense, was doing an excellent
job. They caught ASC's backs as
they received hand-offs in the
backfield and they forced many
ASC mistakes. They were mag-
nificent to see!

The fourth quarter saw both
teams score one touchdown with
their tally nearing the winning
margin. They scored on a two
yard yass. The Tiger's last touch-
down was made on a one vard
run by fullback Frank Bell behind
some great blocking, but that con-
version failed. The Tigers had one
last chance yvith about two minutes
of playing time left but could not
pull it out. Final heartbreaking
score. Hornets 35, Tiger^32.

ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR

B.D.M.O.C? Button-down moccasins, maybe? Well, that makes
as much sense as natural shoulder slacks! Actually, B.D.M.O.C.
stands for Best Dressed Man on Campus. And each Fall, certain
select stores throug'hout the country run a contest to pick the best
dressed college man in their area. That's where we come in. From
this group of winners, we select a panel to make up our...

COLLEGE ADVISORY BOARD, which is brought to New York in
the Sprinp all expenses paid for a whirlwind week of fashion
seminars, business sessions... and some exciting extracurricular
activities. (The last group had a night in Greenwich Village at a
swinging new club Salvation complete with New York fashion
models for dates.)

WITH ACCUSTOMED ESQUIRE STYLE, the men we booM

into DelmoniLo's on Park Avenue cme of New York's poshest
hotels and awaiting their arrival was a wardrobe of clothes, es-
pecially selected by our fashion staff. Before going any further,
perhaps we .'should introduce this year's panel:

DAVID WILLIAMS is a junior attending the University of Arizona
on an acting scholarship, and JAMES O'CONNOR is a psychology'
major at Columbia who plays varsity football. TOM SHIELDS is
a 20-year-oltl Internationa] Relations major who is chairman of
Harvard's Undergraduate Council. At Grambling College. DAVID
TOLLIVER takes time out from the debating team to teach off-
campus, and mathematics major KENNETH JACKER in the
Honor Program at San Jose State College managed to maintain
a 4.0 grade point average last semester while working on several
campus committees and serving as treasurer of his fraternity.

STEPHEN SERBE was president of his class last year at George-
town University, and RICK EVANS has held a number, of offices
in his fraternity (SAE) at Northwestern. Other fraternities were
represented by JEFFREY'' MONTfrom DePaiiw University (Beta)
and WILLIAM STRONG from San Diego State (Kappa Sigi.
EDWARD ENGLISH from St. Thomas College is active in the
Young Democrats, and JOHN WALSH a strapping 6'2" freshman
at Boston College last year is very sports minded.

PENDLETON, Burlington, Yardley, DuPont. Bostonfan. Alligator
...these are just a few of the leading toiletry and apparel manu-
facturers participating in the fashion sessions. Some brought pro-
totype samples... shirts with matching ties, shaped suits, bold
plaid jackets, square-toed shoes. ..for first-hand appraisal. The
panel offered their candid opinions on all types of apparel and
the results were sometimes surprising, always informative. Next
month we'll give details on the fashions they picked as most-likely-
to-succeed.

TOPPING IT OFF, the panel was preserved for posterity in a

group photograph which appears in color in our September "Back-
To-College" issue. We hope you've already seen it. If not, just look
for the magazine with the Beautiful People on the cover.. .Tiny
Tim & Friends. And I ask you now who could be more beautiful!

Pinkney

(Conlmiictl Irani I'age I)

He visited other foreign coun-
tries also: Sweden, Paris. France,
Berlin, and North Germany. He
also visited many castles and other
historic landmarks.

Mr, Pinkney, an excellent
singer, sang in Copenhagen; be-
cause of his great performance, he
was interviewed by many re-
porters.

The questions that they asked
him were: why whites and blacks
could not get along together in the
United States of America, what
were the reasons for the deaths of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and
Senator Robert Kennedy, and why
are we in Viet Nam?

In summarizing his trip, Mr.
Pinkney only wishes that others
could have the o]>])ortunity to go

overseas where people will accept
you as being a human being. He
said that his only regret was know-
ing that when he came back to his
homeland he wouldn't be accepted,
ordy rejected.

Publication Staffs

They will be assisted by Devarn
Murray as typist. Debbye Rich-
ardson will also serve in the
capacity of proofreader. Several
new students attended the last staff

;^ia and the "big game" will nil
lie a part of it.

It is also the time for the un-
veiling of the queens of the

for possessing the most beautiful
young ladies that could be
n=sembled on one college campus,
,ind this year is no exception.
When you see these queens, you
males will especially agree with
me.

The highest honor to he be-
stowed upon any lovely young
lady at SSC was bestowed upon
Miss Linda Williams, SSC's choice

njnjor who is a resident of Bain-
bridge, Georgia. Her hobbies are
reading, sewing, and listening to
music. She is member of the
Newtonian Society, SNEA, and
Beta Kappa Clii. After graduation
she plans to teach math or work
for an IBM firm.

When asked ho^^' she fell about
being iMiss SSC, Linda replied,
"It is every girl's dream to he a
queen some day, and wlien that
dream comes true, it is indeed an
honor."

Linda Williams "Miss SSC"

Dr. Jordan Addresses Assembly

By Joan Simmons

"As the 1968-69 academic year begins, we must all be cognizant
of the fact that we face an immediate future of great and momentous
decisions in this country. This academic year begins at possibly the
most critical moment in the history of our country. We face great
decisions as to the resolution of the conflict in Vietnam, the dissolution
of the atmosphere of restlessnes and internal strife at home, and great
decisions as to how to solve the problems of poverty, ignorance, and
despair."

The above passage is an excerpt of the address delivered by Dr.
Howard Jordan. Jr., President of Savannah State College, at the first
assembly program for the fall quarter. The program was Iield at 10:20
a.m. on Friday, October 11. at Wiley Gymnasium.

Dr. Jordan currently holds membership in various civic organiza-
tions. He is affiliated with the Phi Delta Kappa Honor Society, Ameri-
can Psychological Association. Department of Higher Education, Alpha
Kappa Mu Honor Society, and is chairman of the Guardian Member-
ship Committee. Presently he is listed in Who's Who in American
Education, and in Presidents and Deans of American Coltfg,es and
Universities.

The president stated that an education is the key to opportunity
and success. Without one. an individual will be forced to resign to a
life of poverty or welfare. However, an education alone cannot assure
success. We must learn to live in brotherhood and develop a mutual
respect for one another.

"Brotherhood," added Dr. Jordan, "must become a way of life
for we can either live together as brothers, or we can die as enemies."

Dr. Jordan, in behalf of the administration, faculty and staff,
pledged himself to help the students in every way possible to obtain
their objectives.

The president oriented the students, particularly the newcomers,
about the history, curriculum, leadership and "outstanding" service of
this "great institution."

In the gist of his delivery. Dr. Jordan announced the authorized
plans for the construction of two new dormitories and a natural science
building.

"Before the end of this quarter." said Dr. Jordan, "construction
of two new dormitories and a natural science building will begin a
five-story girl's dormitory in the area of the warehouse, which
is presently being razed; a dormitory for 300 men which will be
north of the B. F. Hubert Technical Sciences Building across the
Tompkins road; and a technical science building u'hich will be con-
structed in the area of our tennis courts."

Dr. Jordan also stipulated the assurance of an early childhood
education program, a home economics building, and a building to
house offerings in business education and business administration.

Dr. Jordan urged the indulgence and patience of members of the
Savannah State College family during the construction of the buildings.

The music was played by Dr. Coleridge Braithwaite. head of the
Music Department, on the new 3-manual Allen Custom Organ recently
purchased- It is one of the largest electronic organs of its kind. This
valuable asset was purchased for the sum of approximately S16,000.

Billy Stewart To Entertain

Singing and Soul is the theme
of Billy Stewart. Billy, like
so many major stars, had a start
singing gospel while his mother
played the piano. After many
years of experience and learning
the piano literally on his mother's
knee. Billy met Bo Diddly, who
was so impressed with his style
that he signed him to play piano
with his combo.

The exposure with Bo Diddly
brought him to the attention of
Chess records, who signed him to
a long term contract and he made
his first record "REAP WHAT
YOU SOW." The record only
made a slight impression and
Billy went back to Washington
where by virtue of a strong per-
formance, he became one of the
Hottest acts in Washington, D, C.
Chess records soon started
gelling requests from Washington
for new Billy Stewart records and
they decided to take another
chance. His newest hit "I DO
LOVE YOU" was the result of this
session. Because of this record
Billy is now being booked through-
out the country and all will agree
that Chess records has a bright
slar in Billv Stewart.

Billy really made it big when
he made the recording. "Summer-
time" in the summer of 1967.
This recording is probably the
beat version of it ever developed
by an artist.

The Big Boy from D.C. is really
explosive and should really have
Savannah State rocking. This is
the beginning of a long list of
big name entertainment to ap[iear
at Savannah State College.

Interinstitntioua} Cooperation Betiveen
Savannah State and Armstrong State

Presidents Howard Jordan, Jr. and Henry L. Ashmorc announced
jointly that Savannah State College and Armstrong State College are
in the begirming stages of a variety of activities of a cooperative and
interinstilutional nature.

Presently, students from one institution may use the library
facilities of the other thereby reducing the necessity for excessive
duplication of library materials: and students from each college are
admitted to athletic and cultural activities interchangeably upon pre-
sentation of their identification cards.

Officials from each institution are currently engaged in planning
additional areas of cooperative action. Such plans look toward a day
in liie near future when exchange of instructors, course offerings and
credit will be commonly practiced.

tunity to show our true school spirit.

The SGA is on the move, heeaiise w\' are rcsporisibli- foi Miss
SSC's flout, coronation ball and other in mngements whieli will develop
lliis weekend. So let's make this one of ihe greatest homeeomings in
the history of this college. By Larry Brown

Did We Have A Candidate?

When you proliably read tins.
the election will either lie over or
only a few days away. This ^vasn't
compiled to influence anyone's
thinking, just to give the facts.

Before writing this, i j;ol the
opinions of five people. This is
what they believed the INe^ro
should have done on election day.
The question asked, "Do we have
a candidate for 'Black America?' "
Larry Broivn, Soplionuirc: Not
really, but 1 believe that Hum-
phrey is the best choice.

Johnny Francis, Sophomore: I
think that the Negro, by staying
home, will give it to the Republi-
cans. 1 think Humplirey is worth
voting for.

Larry Dean Sims, Senior: Yes,
Humphrey is the candidate. He
stands for what we stand for. He's
youth minded. Wallace is a racist
and Nixon is looking for prestige.
I'm not really a Democrat; if the
Republicans 1 felt were qualified,
I'd vote for them. I feel tliat the
Humphrey -Musk ie ticket is the
best.

Ronald Clark, Sophomore:
Choosing these tliree is like choos-
ing three empty milk bottles. 1
think that die Negro shouldn't
vote nationally for these but on
the local level for Eklridge Cleaver
or Dick Gregory. Either three
major candidates we choose would
not benefit us. But if they are
going to vote they should vote for
Wallace; he'll create instant mili-
tancy. If you're going to vote for
a devil, Wallace is the boy.

Harold Harris, Sophomore:
Whenever you vote, you vote for a
purpose. It's senseless for tlie
black man to vote for a presi<Ien-
lial candidate because he has no
genuine choice.

Those were five individual opin-
ions; two were solidly for Hum-
phrey, one for no one, one for
Gregory, Cleaver and to wake up
Blacks, Wallace, and one said that
Humphrey "is worth voting for,"
Let's examine the candidates by
using what these individuals said.
When Humphrey is said to be the
best choice and worth voting for,
just what is meant? Humphrey,

lieciujse of LBJ, hasn't really taken
a fiini stand on Viet Nam. In the
October I Itli issue of Newsweek,
he stated, "1 would stop the bomb-
ing of the N<irth, as an acceptable
risk for peace." But in the very
ne.\t paragraph he said, "in weigh-
ing that risk, and before taking
action, I would place key impor-
tance on evidence direct or indi-
rectly, deed or word of Com-
nuuiisl willingness to restore tiie
Dcjnilitarized Zone between North
and South Viet Nam." You see
the contrast in ttiese two state-
ments, one is to definitely halt the
bombing, the other "if."

Humphrey started trying to get
out the black vole the week of
October 14. It might have been
too late. Mrs. Coretta King,
ividow of the slain Dr. Martin Lu-
ther King. Jr., launched a write-in
ilrive for McCartliy several weeks
before. As you'll remember, Ju-
lian Bond endorsed McCartliy at
tile Democratic Convention.

Of the 8 percentage of the Ne-
gro vote, Nixon will only get 1
))er cent. George Wallace won't
get any.

Eldridge Cleaver and Dick
Gregory were listed as the
"Blacks" to vote for. Gregory, as
we all know, got his fame as a
comedian in night clubs. Cleaver,
because you might not know, is
the Black Panthers' "Miiii-.|cr of
Information." In a new- confer-
ence in late September, he was
asked what whites could do to help
the black man's cause; his answer,
"kill some white people or make
them act in a prescribed inamier."
These are the candidates. I
didn't elaborate too much on
Nixon or Wallace, because I
couldn't find any information con-
cerned witli tliem saying anything
to help the Negro.

The clioice is yours. Remember,
Humphrey and the Democrats
gave us urban housing and medi-
care, Nixon was against it. I am
not endorsing anyone. I thought
that this fact would be of signifi-
cance. Of the three, Humplirey is
the only one "worth voting for."

What Does
Homecoming
Mean To You?

By Augustus Howard

Yes. it's that time of the year
again. Homecoming. The very
work makes one know that this is
that special occasion.

When I asked the question con-
cerned with Homecoming last
year, there were many varied and
interesting opinions and tliis year
is no exception.

Miss Linda. Williams, Miss SSC,
Senior, Mathematics;

Homecoming is one of the most
joyous events of the whole school
vear. The coronation, decorative
floats and all of the elaborate fes-
livilies vaguely symbolize the
meaning of Homecoming. Home-
coming to me is more clearly vis-
ualized through the vibrant school
spirit and feeling of togetherness
that exists with our Institution.
My reign as Miss SSC will make
this Homecoming one of the most
memorable for me.

Mildied Love, Freshman, Toni|)-
kins:

To me Homecoming is a joyous
occasion. It is a lime for seeing
old and familiar faces that haven't
been around for quite some time.
It means lia])]>iness in its highest
res|)ecl because of all the happi-
ness and excitement obtained
through \vorking on floats and
uatcliing or participating in the
jiarade. It can mean sorrow if the
Homecoming game (considered to
be the most important one of the
year) is lost.

Leonard Garrett, Freshman,
Raines High, Physical Education:
Homecoming means to me a
great deal as far as winning is
concerned. , I personally, a mem-
ber of the Tiger football learn,
have my heart in the game and
can only wish for the best. The
Homecoming spirit off the field is
for the fans, but myselL I have the
team spirit.

Angela Stewart. Sophomore,
Beach High, Business Education:

Homecoming to me is thai time
of year to display some of the
beauty on our campus. It also
provides another chance for our
football team to display its skills
and talents.

Herlene BIyler, Sophomore. St,
Pius X, Sociology:

Homecoming represents a lime
of joy and happiness to me. A
lime when the old graduates re-
turn, a time of reunion. The beau-
tificalion of our campus, being
entranced by queens, and the
splendor of floats. Homecoming is
really a time when SSC turns into
a garden of Paradise.

Brenda Thomas, Sophomore,
Beach, Business Education:

I think Homecoming is the best
activity liappening on college cam-
puses today. It involves many
phases of preparation and gives
the students opportunities to work
hard at making their school stand
out. The worst part about it, is
that it doesn't last the entire school
year.

Shirley Mack, Freshman, Tomp-
kins. Elementary Ed.:

Homecoming means to me the
excitement of the parade and foot-
ball game, I believe for an occa-
sion like this the meaning varies.
Ann O'Neal, Freshman, Tomp-
kins, Secretarial Science:

Homecoming to me is a day of
celebration. In most cases there is
a grand parade and the traditional
football game.

Michelle Lyons, Sophomore, S.
H. Archer. Economics:

Homecoming to me is a time
for reunionization of old friends:
it is also the time that the elder
people get together and remember
the good old days and times. For
the young it is a time to make
things happen so wlien they're old
they can remember those good
times.

A Candid Chat With William
Frederick Feriiienline Julian, III

any African
ig back?

Out of curiosity, as to the how
and uhy of Julian's ticking and
talking, I asked if I might just sit
and interview him he consented
and here's the session, in part. I
might add:

Statement: I've heard a lot about
your trip to New York this sum-
mer: if I am not being too per-
eonal, what was behind your trip?

Reply: To be among the people.
While there, I joined the Brothers
Art Shop, Inc.. which is a very
intellectual group of BLACK
voung adults, who jtarticipated in
forums, discussion groups, de-
bates, and dances, all of which
were centered aiound BLACK-
NESS.

Q. Did you brin
motifs and/ or cloth

A. Yes. I returned with posters
of Malcolm X, and Leroi Jones,
also African carvings done in
Kenva. along with a few African
prints.

Q. Do you feel that SSC is ca-
pable of competing with the 'other
black institutions?

A. Well, most of the outstand-
ing BLACK universities have be-
gun to be aware of the needs of
ihe student as far as BLACKNESS
is concerned, such as Howard Uni-
versity. Tennessee A. & L, Tuske-
gee and Southern U. You know,
a lot of kids have asked me, how
do you become BLACK, as far as
philosophy. I answered them in
one word RESPECT for thyself
and what you are and as being
able to accept what you are. To
the men. have respect to the high-
est - that of respect for our
women. Too many BLACK men
have been niesmei i/ed to the fact
that the white woman is the "up-
most thing." Whereas black women
feel that they have to emulate the
white woman to be liked by black
men. BLACK men should respect
BLACK women, as to language
(profanity), and all other aspects.

Q. What courses do you feel
should be offered here as far as
Black culture is concerned?

A. BLACK history and litera-
ture should be offered each quar-
ter and. along with BLACK music,
should be compulsory. As for the
depth of these courses it depends
on the instructor's presentation to
the students. There are instruc-
tors who sometimes screen the
courses as far as personalities
(within Black History I are con-
cerned. At present our BLACK
history course is very good.

Q. Aie you for a separate
BLACK nation on the North
American continent?

A. In reality, it's impossible
The while man has progressed (in-
dustrially) in the areas which
some organizations are asking for,
such as Georgia, Alabama and
Louisiana. And the while man
isn't going to give up this land,
because in the South, he's trying
to create a "Mecca." He isn't
going to give us five states, and
we can't take them! why? Be-
cause we don't have the MIGHT!
(We aren't together). At any rate,
wc have to conform to certain
realities.

Q. (Part 1 1 Do you think that
the Marcus Garvey movement will
ever gain the momentum it once
had? I Part H ) Do you think that
migrating back to Africa will elim-
inate racism upon Afro-Ameri-
ca ns ?

A. (Part I) No, because Gar-
vey advocated the Back to Africa
movement for "certain Negroes."
In addition, the more militant
groups are advocating changes in
the "status-quo" and not a change
in our geographical location.
SNCC, Black Panthers and CORE
are aimed at improving conditions
of the BLACK man here in Amer-
ica, to remain on tins continent
and try to destroy racism If
That's Pos>ible, not through mi-
gration. (Part II) No, because
racism is systematically institu-
tionalized on all continents, and
migration of the BLACK people
will not escape the pressures of the
white man.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor:

I can say with all honesty and
sincerity, that we have a wonder-
ful Student Government Associa-
tion president. I think that we,
the students, made an excellent
choice when we elected lum. With
such a good leader, we, the stu-
dents, are still complaining. We
are still complaining about the
social life here at SSC. The social
life here is terrible. I realize that
we are not just here to party, but
it should be easy to see that after
five days of studying and going
to classes, we are looking forward
to some sort of social activity on
the weekends. Just to give an idea
of how poor the social life is, I'd
like to recall your attention to the
<lance that we had about a month
ago that ended about a quarter
of ten. To be positively frank, this
is just a plain old dull college on
the weekends, not to mention dur-
ing the week-days.

It is my hope that the president
of our Student Government As-

sociation will do something to im-
prove the disgusting social life

here at SSC.

Disgusted

Dear Editor:

I would like to say ho(v much
I enjoyed President Jordan's
speech which he gave at the first
all-college assembly. I think most
of the students like the last part
of bis speech best when he in-
formed us that construction of our
new dining hall and student center
would begin very soon.

I thought that it was an ex-
cellent idea for him to better
acquaint us with the college, by
giving background information
about the institution.

If the remainder of the assembly
programs are as good as the first
one, I am sure that we, the stu-
dents, won't mind attending the
programs this year.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

BLACK NAME IN FOCUS

By Joan Summons
Horace Julian Bond, a 28 year-
old member of the Georgia House
of Represenlalives. lias inspired
many blacks and won the respect
of whites who admired his leader-
ship, qualities, and ability to ad-
vocate what he believes in spite
of what others may say or think
of him.

Bond influenced many Georgian
voters with such dynamic impact
in 1965 that he defeated Rev.
Howard Greecy in tlie Democratic
primary. He also defeated Mal-
colm Dean, who ran as his Ke-
publican opponent, that same year
by receiving over 82 percent of
the voles.

Julian Bond Is a young man
Avho likes to speak his mind, and
apparently one who likes to
challenge the First Amendment
guarantee of free speech. Some of
the things Bond advocated publicly
were sympathy for draft card
burners, and extreme opposition
to the war in Vietnam. This, of
course, "was highly unpalatable to
the Georgia House of Representa-
tives."

However, the First Amendment
guarantee of free speech requires
that legislators be given the widest
latitude to express their views on
issues of policy. Bond, a black
pacifist who s i m p I y insisted
against fighting by Viet Cong no
less than U.S. was wrongfully ac
cused by the Georgia House of
Representatives of not conscienti-
ously taking the allegiance to the
U. S. and state constitution, but
the Supreme Court unanimously
ruled that the House violated
Bond's constitutional rights.

The black people have greatly
progressed from sitting behind
chicken wire observing the con-
actually taking an
I them today. We owe

this stage of advancement to Julian
Bond, his predecessors, and others
like him.

Horace Julian Bond is noted for
his maturity, character and leader-
ship, and for his handsome
features. He is the son of the Dean
of Atlanta University's School of
Education; former publicity direc-
tor of the Student iNon-VioIenl Co-
ordination Committee/Civil Rights
worker; and the organizer of ihe
New Left. He is married. Bond
formerly modeled for Royal
Crown Cola advertisements.

Influenced by Bond's leadership
qualities in an atmosphere of
confusion and turmoil, several
youngsters of which one is taking
Journalism Photography chose
Julian Bond, along with Mayor
Richard J. Daley and Mayor Rich-
ard Halche of Gary, as the
favorite subject al the Democratic
Convention. Each night at the
International Amphitheatre, these
youngsters recorded the people
and events on cameras they had
recently learned to use.

The nomination of Julian Bond
as Vice President at the 1968
Democratic Convention marked a
new direction in black politics.
No longer is tlie black vole
captured through gimmick,
promises of better job opportuni-
ties, and the spending of thousands
of dollars to "caress black
opinion."'

What will tomorrow bring?
For some happiness and faith

For others sadness and tragedy

For some riches, treasures, and

Wliile still for others lie only grief

Maybe because some beloved one

And now perhaps surrounds the

Oh God! What will tomorrow

"Tobacco Road
Caldwell.

"Tobacco Road'
story written by Erskine Caldwell
which tells a story about Jeelcr
Lester and his family and wluit
life was like many years ago in
Georgia. Jeetcr Lester's family
was poverty stricken: but lliey
loved catrh other, had plenty of
II(IUoi' and most of all llicy wevr
happy but hungry.

Jeeter Lester and his (vifi- had
five children, and along with .br-
ier's mother they all lived lo-
gelhcr. The house they lived in
as veiy large and roomy; I>ut
Ihcv refused to lake caie of it.
Each lime a room nould fall in.
they ivould move lo another room.
This kept u\> until ihey were all
sharing one rom.

When the h^., older .hlMn.ii
were of age. llicy l.-fl i.nnu- never
lo return again, to imike a living
for themselves. This left tiie Les-
ter family with three children, in
a shabby, run-down house situaled
on Tobacco Road, wllh other pov-
ci ly-stricketi neighbors. Pearl, the
twelve year old younger child,
never talked nor opened her
mouth unless it was for food. Then
there was Dude, sixteen, and the
oldest of those children left at
home. He was not very bright;
but could be rlepended upon In
curse and fight his father. Lastly,
there was fifteen year old Ellie
Mae. who was quiel, sly, and un-
derstanding. She was born with a
harelip, therefore, she gave up
early in life about finding a hus-
band and ha|)piness.

Lov, a tall, well built, young
man about twenty years old, asked
Jeeter's permission to marry Pearl.
Lov had a job. a small house and
a means of providing food. Since
Jeeter was too old lo work, he

SHELF

gave his consent thinking that
his family would he able to ob-
tain food from Lov. It did not lurn
out that way. One day the Lester
family spoiled Lov going home
with a sack of turnips. With Ellie
Mae's persuasive talking and flirt-
ing, llie entire Lester family
jumped Lov and stole the turnips.
The grandmother was never treat-
ed with respect. Wlien lliey were
finally tired of eating turnips, ihey
threw her three of the smallest
turnips. Jeeter always said she
was old and didn't need to live as
long as she had anyway. If the
grandmother ever got in the way,
she was pushed, hit, or yelled
al. There was also Sister Bessie
who was a self-ordained preacher
witli a malformed nose. She only
had Iwo nostrils which looked like
two holes in her face. One day
Sister Bessie proposed marriage lo
Dude; and told him that if he
married her she would buy a
brand new car. They bought the
'ar fir.sl, then they got married
and almost wrecked the ear llic
same day. Conflicts started lo
erupt after Sister Bessie and Du<!e
wen- nnirried. Pearl ran away
fniin Lov; and Jeeter sent Ellie
Mae to live with him. Sister Bes-
sie and Jeeter's ivife, Ada, had a
fi;;lil because Bessie was flirting
\^tlh Je<ler. Dude and Sisler Bes-
;*ie decided lo go live iti Augusta.
As Ihey were backing out of the
>ai(l in their new car, ihey ran
over the grandniolher. No one
holheied to see if she was dead
until three days after ihe accident.
Then Jeeler dug a hole and
dumped her into it. The same
nighl of the grandmother's burial
the Leslers' house caught on fire.
Jeetcr had decided to burn llie
old crops down in preparation for
the new season; and while the
crops burned through tlie night,
the wind shifted the direction of
the fire. Jeeler and his wife
burned with the house before they
knew what had happened. Lov saw
Ihe flames; but when he reached
the house, there was nothing left
to do but find and bury his in-
laws.

The Jeeter Lesler family suf-
fered through famine, disease, and
many of the other hard-luck
lhing.s of life; but they lived,
loved, and died on Tobacco Road.
It is one of the most compellingly
powerful novels I have ever read.

Interview With Teehnical Science

By Augustus Howard

The following interview was
held recently between reporter
Augustus Howard an<l Dr. Clyde
Hall, Chairman of Tetlmiiai
Sciences at Savannah Slate CjI-
lege. These are the faets that were
solicited during the interview.

Question Dr. Hall, what are
some of the projects that the
technical classes arc undertaking?

Answer Students in the civil
technology field have done outside
work in the field of architecture.
David ScotL makes areliilectural
plans part time in Savannah work-
ing with Leon Meyers. In the Co-
Op program, Robert Powell and
Anthony Hamilton, both civil tech-
nology students, work at Union
Camp. One goes to school one
quarter while the other works and
vice versa.

Question Have any new facets
of technical science been intro-
duced al Savannah Stale rei'enlly?

Answer The Co-Op program
is the only new facet, however, we
are trying to introduce a new
course in technical education. Tlie
title of the course is Personal
Contemporary Problems of the
Home, Business, and Industry. Il
will start for the first time during
the fall quarter.

Question Have any new areas
been opened to Negroes in this
field in the past two years?

Answer Yes they have. Dewitt
Porter, a 1968 graduate, is work-
ing as Civil Engineering Tech-
nician at Union Carbide in Oak-
ridge, Tennessee. Merules J. Sims,
a 1967 graduate, is working as an
Electronics Technician of Tele-
metry on the Island of Ascension
in the South Atlantic Ocean. Billy
Simmons, a 1968 graduate, and
also James Woodard, work as
Electronic Technicians al Union
Carbide at Oakridge, Tennessee.

off to a good start.

Mrs. E. R, Terrell, head of the
dc[Kirtmenl, attended the 51st
atmual meeling of the American
Dietetic Association in San Fran-
cisco, California. The general
emphasis for the 1968 meeting
was on: (1) the outlook in Agri-
culture, because it is the axis upon
which the problem of feeding the
nation and helping umlerdeveloped
countries rests; ( 2) food tech-
nology: (.S) tlie manpower situ-
ation, and current legislation as
it ap|)lies to food jiroduction.
manufacture, conservation, and
service. Complimentary to the
general programs were the
special sessions in the specialized
grou])s of the dietetic jirofession,
comnmnily nutrition, diet therapy,
education and food admin istrn-
lion.

The growth and stature of the
profession has developed upon the
cnordiiialioii of the Dietetic In-
t'-iri-hip (iouniil and College and
Ilni\crsity fai-ullies who prepare
dietetic interns. Savannah Stale

FROM THE TEST TUBE

By Sophia D. Way

company on this island has the
largest number of Negro employ-
ment iti the wrold. People are
looking for more technicians and
they are now aware that Savannah
Stale trains people in this category.

Quest ion What are some of
the evenis that the technical
science depailment have planned
for the future?

Answer Aflcr we get enough
graduates, we want to get our
program accrediteil by the Engi-
neers Council for Professional De-
velopment, This is the national
accredency agency for engineer-
ing technology and in the next
couple of years, we want our pro-
gram reviewed. We are already
accredited regionally, but we now
want national accredence.

Dr. Hall in the inter\iew said
or brought out the fact about a
new course being offered during
the fall quarter. These are a few
of the important aspecis of the
new course.

The title of the course. Personal
Contemporary Prohlems of the
Home. Business and Industry,
deals with problems concerning
our everyday living. It deals with
such things as ihe spending of our
money wisely, cullivating friends
and planning for a future. The
necessary goals, aspirations,
values, and resources needed to
solve these problems can be found
or developed in the homes of
typical advantaged middle-class
Americans. However, il is fell thai
the typical student who comes to
Savannah State College doesn't
possess such a background; and,
therefore, doesn't have the neces-
sary skills to cope with these daily
problems. This new course will
attempt to eradicate them.

lished approximately twenty
articles. Among these articles is
"Activation Analysis of Placental
Trace Metals' which is found in
volume nine on page 160 of the
1968 edition of llie Journal of
Necular Medicine. Most recently
Dr. Menon has co-authored an
aiticle, "Necular Methods of
Chemical Analysis," which is be-
ing evaluated to be used in a
book.

BIOLOGY ON THE MOVE

The Biology DepartmenI, of Sa-
vannah State College, is, has been,
and always w ill be looking for
ways to improve the teaching of
the biological sciences. Not that
the methods that were used in the
past were not goody but. as every-
one knows, the Biology Depart-
ment is not a static department,
and it is always looking for melh-
ods that will help in improving
techniques that will help the
learner lo learn biology belter.
Again, as everyone knows, gen-
eral biology ( 123 and 121) are
core courses al Savannah State
College, and we are putting forth
every effort to make these courses
contribute a type of knowledge of
the life sciences that would be
most essential to any well edu-
cated person.

A new approach to the teaching
of general biology has been pre-
pared by one of our staff mem-
bers. This new approach is now
being tested, and should it prove
successful, that is, an improve-
ment over the present methods of
teaching, Savannah Stale College
will have made a great contribu-
tion to biological education. It is
too early in the school year for
any prediction, but from evidences
observed so far, the outlook is
encouraging.

Another pilot course, ihat in-
volves the entire Division of the
Natural Sciences and Mathemat-
ics, is an Interdisciplinary Course
in the natural sciences. We have

ol)ser\ed that students have a ten-
dency to leave the knowledge
gained in a particular department
at the place where the information
was achieved. This is a great han-
dicap to the student and teacher
as the student attempts to further
his education but was unable to
"carry over" knowledge gained
from one course to another. Many
times this "left behind" knowledge
is a prerequisite to learning ma-
terials in another department, or a
course in the same department. In
order to help the students corre-
late materials from various areas
in the Division of the Sciences, a
course has been prepared for this
purpose by a staff member in the
Biology Department. She has re-
ceived the whole-hearted support
from all members of this division.
This course is now in the experi-
mental stage, and should it prove
to be an improvement over our
traditional method of imparting
science knowledge to the students,
it will be substituted for the
courses that are now used in the
core for the natural sciences.

Juanita Russell, SSC's marching
band proudlv reacts to the de-
mand, "Band! Across the Field!"

Easily recognized as the largest
and "best" since Mr. Jordan's ar-
rival, according to band president
William F. F. Julian. Further com-
menting that "our marching band
is composed mostly of outstanding
freshmen." In direct contrast to
last season's organization, which
performed more classical selections
and moved less, 1968 has
witnessed a more BLACK AND
SOULFUL musical group which
has serenaded its audiences with
Soulman, Grazing in the Grass,
Love Makes a Woman, Spooky,
Up Tight and Git On Up. among
many others, as it makes more
formations and movenients.

"Tomorrow," states Julian, "our
music will please I'verybodt,"
Although the music will satisfy
every taste as reflected by Julian's
remarks, there's an underlying
score to be settled ( musically )
with Albany. Julian further com-
mented, "Last year we were made
to look bad, however. This Year
We're Ready for Ft. Valley."

Acting upon invitation from
Liberty County High School Band,
under the direction of an SSC
alumni. Lawrence Hutchins. the
band's last performance was for
their (Liberty County High)
homecoming half-time on Novem-
ber second.

For a sectional look at the band:

Rec-perts Top Ten Picks

By Augustus Howard
In the second Top Ten Pick of
the fall quarter, the results were
very interesting, jerry ( Ice Man )
Butler had two hits to make the
panels list. King James Brown's
"Black and Proud" dropped com-
pletely out of the ratings. Lady
Soul. Aretha Franklin, was still
in with "I Say A Little Prayer"
as I gathered the panel's opinions.
The record that made itself great
overnight just as Marvin Gaye's
"Grapevine" did in the last issue
was the Supreme's spad titled
"Love Child." Two records were
mentioned by the Beatles and
Catherine Riley, but they didn't
make the Top Ten Chart, The best
of the biue-eyed soul are the
records of Bill Medley. "Brown
Eyed Woman." and "The Weight
by Jackie DeShannon.

Here are the names of the Panel
of Rec-Perls: Bienda Thomas,
Sophomore : Beverly Cohbs,
Junior; Awanda Daniels. Junior;
Charlene Cobb. Junior; Deborah
Murray. Freshman; Patricia Mon-

roe. Freshman: Herlene Blyler.

Top Ten Picks that were high on
the charts when these opinions
were made.

Peacock^s Very Outstanding Rooms

The Tidy Room of White and Crump

By Augustus Howard
In the weekly room check held
on October 18 in Peacock Hall,
Sgt. Anderson was so pleased with
the condition of two rooms, and
with the material that these men
have to make their rooms look
just like home, that he thought
it was only j ust they he com-
mended on their efforts.

One room belongs to Senior
Carl Crump, a Physical Education
major from Bronx, New York
and his room-mate Vencent White,

a Sophomore majoring in Ph\sical
Education from Brooklyn. New
York. They reside in room 323.

The other room is occupied by
Senior Richard Moses, an English
major from Blackshear. Georgia,
and Charles Slack, a Social
Science major from Sparta, Geor-
gia. They reside in room 127,

Sgt. Anderson said that he
wanted to do this as often as
possible and also is thinking about
presenting awards in the near
future.

By Debbye Richardso
What's your gripe? If tliere is
anything you don't like about the
campus, the instructors, classes,
or just anything, then you may
gripe about it in this "Gripe
Column." Please give you gripes
to Debby Richardson. Lester Hall,
or take them to Meldrim Hall,
room 214. Tliank you for your
cooperation.

I would like to gripe about
S.W.. who lives in Lester Hall.
She has very little consideration
for others in the mornings when
she gargles. I've never heard any-
one carry on like she does. She
goes on like this for about ten
minutes, and it's quite annoying.
I would just like to say to her, to
please, please dispense with the
unnecessary act; please have
mercy on us poor girls who have
to listen to you each and every
morning give us a little con-
sideration, it's driving us mad.
Mad Girl
I Would like to gripe about Mrs.
S. B. No doubt about it, she is
very heavy when it comes to Math;
but as for the consideration of
others, she is very light. How
could a person be so cruel? She
stands before the class and uses
many big words ( that are usually
not comprehensible) and doesn't
leach the class anything; but she
still expects you to know every-
thing. In order to understand,
even a little, about what she is
talking about, jou have to worry
someone else to explain what she
has already called herself explain-

ing. To Mis. S.U. I would ju.l
like to say, how could you he so
cruel?

Disgusted Student

SSC should have somellung in
the form of social activity going
on every weekend. I'm tired of
the dull center.

M.L.M.

! am still waiting on E.H.F. to
make a comeback.

M.L.M.

I think the Sophomore girls
should be able to come in oTi the
weekend at twelve o'clock instead
of eleven o'clock. I mean like have
a little "mercy" on the Sopliomorc
girls.

S.M.S.

There are too many fiesli male
instructors on campus. I might
be able to see it if they weren't
married, hut the fresh ones arc
married.

CM.

To the newspaper staff, there is
a certain young man (Junior) on
your staff; atid I w()uld like to
he his girlfriend. To me, he proves
to be too hime. Staff members^
please "hip" him.

Annette

The curfew hour for Sophomore
girls shoulil be extended to twelve
o'clock.

Anonymous

To the Creek Editor, there is a
young man who is a member of
the Alpha Phi Alpha Fralernily
by the name of CnrI Stewart. I ad-
mire him very much; but he only
considers mc as a friend. When-
ever you go to get Greek news

a^aiii, please drop a line to him,
and tell liim tliat I live in Lester
Hall.

Infatuated
1 feel tliat the girls in Lester
Hall should not have to be in their
rooms after room check. As long
as we are in tlie dorm at 11:15
P.M., and we are paying room and
board, we should he free to visit
any rooms we arc welcomed to.
Concerned
Confusion ariees when one does
not mind his business. If everyone
practices minding his huiness,
there ivould be less confusion
among people in general. True you
may not agree, but if you arc not
involved, then do not gel involved.
L.H.M.
I don't like the idea of fellows
asking girls to go to hotels with
them as soon as they meet you.
Why?
There should he more social ac-
tivities for the student body on
the weekend.

Concerned
I think we should have three
meals on Sundays. I am sick of
"grab bags." If we have to have
these hags, then why eati't we have
a variety of sandwiches to choose
from. I'm lired of ham sandwiches
every Sunday.

Dec Dee
I feel that thuie should not be
classes after 12:00 P.M. on Fri-
<lavs.

Faligned
I here shuiild be more organiza-
tions and clubs on campus.

Why ShouhhCt I Wear My ISatural?

Did You
Know That! ! !

if the center wasn't a part of
this campus. Savannah State would
not be the groovy school it is to-
day?

The Freshman class really knows
how to cope with the upper-
classmen for a change?

The Seniors are really doing a
good job of sticking together in
all aspects?

Number 14 on the football team
is really doing his best on the
football field?

The Junior class is going to be
the best Junior class ever?

The Sophomore class has been
awfully quiet lately?

The food in the Dining Hall is
tastier?

The lounge of Camilla Hubert
Hall has been moved to the first
floor and is larger?

Pool and ping pong are now
being played in the popular Hill
Hall recreational area (second
floor) ?

The Natural-Look has hit Stale's
campus very hard?

Most of the attention from the
fellows on campus is focused
around Camilla Hubert Hall?

Savannah State has a lot of left-
handed people?

Gus Howard is the son of Ro-
meo?

A certain "Frat" isn't walking
anymore, but has wheels?

It was brought to my attention
that the athletes of Savannah State
have been balked at in their at-
tempts to wear their Naturals
while performing. Sensing that
this would be a worthy news item,
I collected the opinions of several
young adults. I asked, "Should the
black athletes of Savannah Slate
be permitted to wear their naturals
or shouldn't they?" Following are
the many responses.

Al Jordon "I feel that by
being black, you should be your-
self. We shouldn't try to imitate
white athletes by wearing our hair
short. As wc must learn plays and
formations, coaches should learn
the ideas and philosophies of the
players."

Larry McDonald Black
athletes should be able to wear
tlieir hair natural as long as they
produce. The coaching staff
shouldn't infringe upon a personal
appearance as long as he pro-
duces."

Vincent While "I think that
Black athletes shouldn't have their
natural features altered. That's
the naturalness of them, just as
their natural abilities are to per-
form in athletic events."

Martha Jones "Yes, I think
ihey should after all, hair doesn't
determine a players ability."

Anonymous "I think they
should. Their hair has nothing to
do with their natural playing
abilities." (P.B.)

Robert King ~ "The black
coaches of yesterday here at SSG
should wake up to the changes of
today. Wearing a natural is TO-
DAY, close haircuts are YES-
TERDAY!"

Anonymous "It's not what's
on the head that makes a man,
it's what in it!" (H.G.A.)

These are but a few opinions,
what do you think?

Gwinnette Vaughn "I believe
that they should. It's not going to
keep them from winning games."

Jacquet McClendon "Why
should black athletes imitate
whites' ways?"

Savannah State Choral News

By Dehbye Richardson
The first rehearsals of the Savan-
nah State College Choral Society
began September 23, 1%8 with
many new members and Freshmen.
With a large amount of music to
learn, cooperation, enthusiasm, the
Choral Society anticipates a very
successful year.

On October 17, 1968 the Choral
Society made its first appearance
at the 26th Annual Georgia Teach-

ers and Education Association
Meeting. Under the direction of
Dr. Braithwaite, the Choral So-
ciety rendered "Tlie Beatitudes"
by Harry Simone. Miss Patricia
Mobley was the accompanist.

Then, the Choral Society per-
formed on the assembly program
on November 1, 1968. The music
was enjoyed by everyone. Look
for more performances of the Sa-
vannah State College Choral So-
ciety very soon.

Happenings In the Social Science Clnl)

By Tommy Flder
The 1%L;-6<J cluh )ear gol off
to a tremendous start, first with
the election of a slate of dynamic
leaders. Heading tlie list is the
eminent James Taylor, President;
Naomi Butts, Secretary; Roselta
Houston, Vice President; Marilyn
Stewart, Assistant Secretary;
Fhylis Ringer, Treasurer; Susie
Kornegay, Business Manager; Oli-
ver Jones, Sgl. at Arms; and yours
truly. Tommy Elder, Reporter.

The exquisitely beautiful and
intellectual Audrey' Harper was
elected as Miss Social Science
iy68-69. In guidance we have one
of our own sons, Mr. Delacy San-
ford, who is a hard working, stim-
ulating and competent advisor.

Our first cluh function came in
the form of a dance held Oclohcr
4lh, in Wiley Gymnasium. The

dance pro\ed lo be a stupendous
success- There was a dance eon-
test wlierein the filming eoufile
received tickets to anv current
movie of their choice.

The Social Science Club is also
prominent in the intellectual area
with many provocative discussions.
On October 11. 1%8, jn room 2U7
of I'ayne Hall, the first in a series
of forums was held; llie to|)ie Oc-
loher 11th was, "How the Presi-
dent Is Elected," including all
background information.

With such diversified activities
as these and the fine quality of
leadership exemplified by our pres-
ent leaders, it is certain that we
will truly have a great year.

BACC Once Again

First of all, we would like to
thank the members of the Tii-er's
Roar staff for letting us put our
jirevious articles in the newspaper
and we ho|)e they will continue to
nork with us. We would like lo
touch on the subject of education
since this is an educational insti-
tution. The members of BACC
realize that this world is a wliite
an<l degree conscious world; if
not, we wouldn't be here, our-
selves. To get an education is
one thing but lo get pushed out
into this cold, white-oriented
world unprepared is something to
consider when you are supposed
to be educated. There are going
lo be peojde who will disagree
Willi us, but we will not lie to the
BLACK students, because we feel
I hat the white man has tolil
enough lies over tins country's bis-

"'You should be ashamed of
yourself." the reproachful stu-
dent told her roommate, "All your
girl-friends are divorced and
you're not even married yet."

Have you heard about the girl
who was so ugly that Peeping Tom
would reach in and pull down her

shades?

"Not that I believe in reincar-
nation." said the young man to
his hyperprudish date, "but what
were you before you died?"

"I was married twice," ex-
plained the man lo newly dis-
covered drinking companion, "and
I'll never marry again. My first
wife died after eating poison
mushrooms and my second wife
died of a fraclural skull."

"That's a shame." offered the
friend. "How did that happen?"

"She wouliln't eat her mush-
rooms."

lory to be surprised at this time.
Back to education, we feel that not
only aren't students doing their
job to become educated (not
Irained), but tbey will become so
complacent and trifling as to allow
a teacher to push ihem out into
the world, be it black or white, ill
prepared to cope with the prob-
lems of the day. When are we
going to stop living up to what
the white man has said about, the
so called NEGROES, that they are
just grown up children easily led
and misled? We know that our
ideas and tlie majority of the stu-
dents' ideas differ, but we are all
in this struggle together, be you
Negro colored man or Black man.
We all have the same destiny, free-
dom. There are those of us who

will become educated whether (he
instructor leaeiies or not. But
what of tiie brother or sister that
doesn't want to learn and is in
college for other reasons? It
would be different if all of the
students at Savannah State were
going just to an all white com-
munity, society or slate, but these
people are going out into the
Black community, society and
slates to spread ignorance. We
know that we couldn't stop those
that are not concerned from going
the wrong way, hut we hope that
in reading this article you will
look al your destiny, goals, and
libilosophy.

Programming at IBM

"It's a mixture
of science and art!'

"A lot of people have the wrong idea
about computers," says Earl Wilson. "They
think the machines solve problems all by
themselves."

A programmer at IBM, Earl got a B. A. in
Modern Languages in June, 1967, and
joined IBM a month later. He's now work-
ing on a teleprocessing system that will
link computerized management informa-
tion systems of several IBM divisions.
"When a computer comes ofl an assem-
bly line," he says, "it's practically useless.
It can't function as a problem-solving tool
until somebody writes a program a set
of instructions that enables the computer
to do a specific job. And to do that, you've
got to be part scientist, part artist.
"Science is involved," he says, "because

you have to analyze problems logically
and objectively. But once you've made
your analysis, you have to start thinking
creatively. There's a huge variety of ways
to write a program, and the choice is up
to you. There's plenty of room for individ-
ual expression."

Programmers hold a key position in the
country's fastest growing major industry-
information processing. Business Week
reports that the computer market is now
expanding at about 20% a year, a rate
many experts think will be sustained at
least until 1975.

You don't need a technical degree

If you can think logically and like to solve
problems, you could become an IBM pro-

grammer, no matter what your major. We'll
start you off with up to twenty-six weeks of
classroom and practical training.

PEGGY AND JOJO TO SOCK SOUL

Our homecoming theme "Psy-
chedelic Sixties" will be carried
out by our students in a big way.
The entertainment will be just as
big, for that swingin' duo, Peggy
Scott and Jo Jo Benson will do
their thing Saturday night at the
Wiley-Wilcox gymnasium, 8:00
p.m., featuring the Funky Soul
Train Band, from Atlanta, Geor-
gia.

Peggy Scott was born in Opp,
Alabama in a family of seven
brothers and one sister. When
Peggy turned five, the family
moved to Pensacola, Florida. She
received her secondary education
at B. T. Washington High School
in Pensacola. During these years
Peggy started singing gospel
music at the local churches. She
always seemed to just like music.
After graduation from high school
in 1966, Peggy went on the road
with Ben E. King as a vocalist

for about a year. She left the King
tour and returned to Pensacola
and appeared locally. While she
played in the Columbus, Georgia,
area, a fellow by the name of
Jo Jo Benson used to come into
the club and sang a number of
tunes with Peggy. The rest is his-
tory. During her spare moments,
Peggy enjoys watching baseball
and basketball games. She really
digs Aretha Franklin and mod
clothes.

Jo Jo was born in Phoenix City,
Alabama and moved to Columbus,
Georgia when he turned 16. He
started at an early age with a
gospel group called the "Spirit-
uals." While attending high
school, Jo Jo entered various
talent shows and won every one
that he entered. Since tlien. Jo Jo
has been associated with numer-
ous vocal and self-contained

Black BACC

By Essie Stewart
Ever since the organization
BACC (Black Awareness Co-
ortlinaling Committee) spoke they
have been speaking, just speaking.
Their main aim is to mnke
BLACKS aware of their Black
skin and to enstill within their
minils the "Be Black and Proud
theory.'* AH BLACK brothers and
sisters have to do is look nl their
faces to be aware of tlieir black-
ness or compare their coloration
to that of Lester Maddox or uny

oilier c .

Tlie actions of BACC have be-
come stagnant. Instead of pushing
forth they have been speaking,
and speaking, again and again.
According to a brotlier in the
organization, activities sponsored
by BACC this yeor will include
tlie Black Arts Festival and other
things. But in the October 1%8
edition of the Tiger's Roar the
article "BACC Speaks Again"
staled:

"Our plans for this 1968-69
school year are to have our second
Annual Black Festival and a few
other projects and programs that
are still pending." The Black Art
Festival was held but what about
the few other projects and pro-
grams still pending. Is the student
body to expect what it got last
year? Will they wait until the
12th of never? Now you have the
name BACC. Are you going to
repudiate the principles which you
have so openly claimed?

In one newspaper article you
tuld the student body "Hopu Ni
Kwenn (My Fear is for you) and
now the reply is "My Fear is for
you BACC!" If the organization
continues its previous course the
organization will only be known
for its members wearing the clean-
est and a fliest D and

afros. all aspiration for helping
society will be lost.

BACC at Savannah Stale Col-
lege has backed its self into a
corner. This is why few people
take heed to your column: this is
why few people know of your
existence. BACC stated in the
October edition of the Tiger's
Roar

"Being Black has seven aspects

Act Black

Talk Black

Buy Black

Create Black

Vole Black

Think Black

Live Black.
One more needs to be added to
the list.

Do something Black and this is
directed lo BACC!

It seems that even though there
are those of us who profess to be
BLACK there is still an abundance
of Black disguised as niggers, or
sliould I say acling like niggers.
When ore wc going to stop acting
like the white man says we are
supposed to act? The white man
has said for so long that all
BLACK people want to do is sing,
dance, and steal. The first two
things ore beautiful, but the last
thing is too much when it means
stealing from yourselL When you
steal or destroy something that
belongs to you. you are doing
nothing more than hurting your-
self, or the organization that you
are n part of. The organization in
this instance being Savannah State
College. I know that mony of you
are saying that this school does
not actually belong to you but
your tax dollars help build this
school as much as the while peo-
ple's dollars. Everyone is talking
about being proud of being Black
but being proud is more than just
having an Afro or saying Brother
instead of nigger, but it means
having respect for one's self. If
you can't respect yourself then we
can't expect you to respect those
things that are not you, be they
human or material things.

On the other hand we agree
with you one hundred percent that
respect from the white man is
long overdue, but lot us win the
respect of one another before we
ask our oppressor lo respect us
because for 400 years he hasn't
why ask the impossible?

We guess that quite a few peo-
ple are wondering what we want
from Savannah State. Well, we
would like to have an education
that leaches us our true history
and the role that the Black Man
plays in this society today. The
studying of an African language
and African culture is fine, but
we think that lessons on how lo
cope with ihe oppression of and
exploitation of Black People are
lessons enough to keep the minds
of Black people going for years
to come. So let us not get so
hung-up on things that are in the
past that we forget about the
present and the future.

Thank you Brothers and Sisters
for your time.

BACC Speaks

We the members of the Black
Awareness Co-ordlnaling Commit-
tee would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank the members of
the student body for voting for
Brother Clark. We also fell and
still feel that Brother Clark is the
man to do the job that needs to
be done here at Savannah State
College. We hope that in the
coming year you will put your
full cooperation behind him.

Wliat's Happening

By Augustus Howard

As new editor of the Tiger's
Roar newspaper, I thought it
would be cool if I introduced
myself lo you.

I am a junior, majoring in Eng-
lish, and I graduated from
Blakeney High in Waynesboro,
Ga, Always honored to write news
of any kind, 1 wrote school ac-
tivities and sports news for my
alma mater.

When 1 came to Savannah State
I was a reporter during my fresh-
man year. On last year I was
associate and sports editor. Dur-
ing those two years, I learned
most of the journalism that 1 do
know from Barbara Mobley, the
editor for those two years, and
Mr. Scott, the paper's director.

This year will be a year of
change. You will read material in
the paper that wasn't presented
during the past. Criticisms of
instructors, your views on cer-
tain ways in which the college
is being run, this is what's happen-
ing now, and you, fellow students,
will be free lo a certain degree to
express these opinions in the
newspaper.

In ortlcr for the newspaper to
be successful, a large staff is
needed. So far, I am glad to say
that the staff is composed of about
thirty hard-working individuals.
We still, however, need more, and
you are invited to join at any time.
The larger the staff, the easier and
quicker it will be to get a paper
finished. We have our meetings
every Wednesdoy nt 6 p.m. in
Meldrim. For those who might be
interested in journalism as a
future occupation, I am glad to
announce that a course is being
taught by Savannah Morning
News City Editor Archie Whit-
field. an<l will be available
throughout the college year for
five hours credit. It will be on the
schedule in December when it is
lime to pre-register.

For those who may want to con-
tribute articles and not join the
staff, this is perfectly okay. Solicit
your poems, editorials and other
material to any member of the
staff or bring it to the news room
in Meldrim.

So until the next edition, be
cool,

about getting trash cans in the
bathroom and shower curtains.
"Freshman Girls"

Please do something about these
"mosquilasJ" Somebody is always
scratching.

C. W.

There's too much line cutting
in the dining hall. Will the Stu-
dent Government Association
please do something about the
situation?

"Hungry Student"

The food Is terrible. I often
find bugs in the rice. Will it hurt
to wash the rice?

T. C.

It is not enough to plant grass
and assume ihe students will keep
off. What is needed to protect the
grass is small guard rails.

Thank You,

"One of the Concerned"

I don't think we freshman girls
should be on probation for six
weeks, because we haven't done
anything wrong, unless it was a
mistake to come here.

"Freshman Girls"

Why is it that our activities on
campus are so limited. The student
center should stay open longer,
especially since we have extended
curfews now. But of course, I am
just wasting my time writing this
gripe because the "convent" re-
mains the same,

"The Uncontented Nuns
and Priests"

I wonder what happened to the
dishes we used to eat out of in the
Dining Hall? Is the cafeteria staff

AUGUSTUS HOWARD, Editor-in-Chief

saving them for the new Dining
Hall? "The Picnic Eaters"

Why isn't the local daily paper
sold on this campus? There is one
in the library, but there is also
over a thousand students and
everyone can't read that one paper.
Why doesn't the bookstore sell the
local daily paper?

"An L'ninformed Student"

We, the students at SSC are
very tired of the "Hot Moo Juice"
being served in the dining hall
for breakfast, dinner, and supper.
You'd think we were being con-
ditioned to be dairy farmers.

"The Uncontented Cows"

I'd like to tell a few of the
fellows around campus that they
look very sweet riding on top of
each other with seven or eight in
one car. Believe me fellows, you
look very masculine doing this,
but why don't you try integrating
with the young ladies every now
and then!

"Curious"

I think that it is horrible for
the young ladies in Lockelt Hall
to have frogs and other insects for
roommates. There should be ex-
terminators to come in and spray
the dormitory.

"Roommate of the Frogs"

Cheater, Cheater,
Shame On You

By Essie Stewart
lly: Hey Sly, do you think you
passed the test?

Sly: Yea man, I passed that
final in flying colors and I only
went to class thirty days out of
the quarter.

Hy: How did you pass it?
Sly: Dig it man, 1 had all of
the answers written on my pencil.
During mid quarter and final
exam time there is tension in the
air. Many students wonder about
passing or failing, while a small
minority study and an even
smaller minority make ponies for
the test. It's shocking to realize
ihat after 12 or 13 years in school
many students do not know how
lo study, but do know how to
cheat.

Could it be the fear of the
exams which makes students cheat
or is it the pressure placed on the
exams by instructors, family, and
friends of what the outcome will
be if the student fails to pass the
exams? It could be the student
does not know how to study and
is not really college material, but
just cheating to get that BS.

Instructors should not place
so much emphasis on written
exams and students should talk
with their advisors about the urge
to cheat before they do cheat. This
may seem like the "holier than
thou" way, but it will lead to a
state of positive satisfaction
reached by the student knowing
he did pass a test 'on his own
without the aid of a pony. Have
no doubts of flunking when taking
an exam without the assistance of
a pony. If you were smart enough
lo make the pony and hide it in
your then you should be

smart enough to study and pass
uny test given.

Homeeoming
Is Coming

By Essie Stewart

One of the most joyous celebra-
tions on the campus of SSC is
readily approaching and its pri-
mary goal is to send the students,
faculty and alumnus of this great
school into days of pure passion.
It is the Annual Homecoming of
Savannah State College. There
will be activities to make all happy
from the Green Freshmen to the
Mighty Seniors.

I have asked several students
about this mighty fortress. SSC,
what Homecoming Activities are
they looking forward to the most
and here are their replies.

Barbara Stewart, Sophomore,
Biology "I can't decide on one
particular activity. I'm looking
forward to, all of them which are
filled with excitement and happi-
ness. It will be just hyperboiic-
squeadlymistic!"

Yvonne Clark, Freshman, Ele-
mentary Education "I am look-
ing fonvard to the homecoming
game and watching our mighty
team drive onward to victory."

Charles Alston, Senior, Biology
(Alpha Phi Alpha) 1 am look-
ing forward to making our fra-
ternity float and the dance we are
going to have with all the Fra-
ternity brothers coming from in
and out of state."

Linda Robinson, Junior, Busi-
ness Education "I am looking
forward to the big dance, a chance
for everyone to let themselves go
and do their thing."

Debra James. Freshman, Soci-
ology "I feel the parade is the
activity to look forward to, be-
cause it will show the initiative
and creativity of all concerned."

Eugene Walker, Junior, Ele-
mentary Education "I'm looking
forward to everything but most
important is the release from
school work."

Rose Copeland, Senior, Sec-
ondary Education "The most
exciting activity and the number
one on my list is the parade, but
I think overall. Homecoming this
year will be an event that none of
us around SSC will ever be able
to forget."

Lily Kirkland, Freshman, Soci-
ology "For me the dance will
positively and undecidedly be the
most exciting of all the homecom-
ing activities. It will provide a
chance for all to extend the long
arm of welcome and meet new
people."

Reginald Wade, Senior, Mathe-
matics (Alpha Phi Alpha) "I
dig football, that's why I'm look-
ing forward to the best Homecom-
ing football game SSC has ever
had, I'm hoping we don't dis-
appoint the Alumni like we did
last year,"

John Eady, Sophomore, Civil
Technology "I am looking for-
ward to the dance because I'm
ready and determined to do my
thing!"

This year's theme "Psychedelic
Sixties. " assures every student at
SSC an out of sight time during
Homecoming week. It will also be
an opportunity for the students
and faculty to become better ac-
quainted. As for me 1 can hardly
wait until Homecoming comes.

Reflection
of Myself

By Jennis R. Clayton

Time elapses and memories are

forgotten.
Appearing before me is myself.
That image is everything that I

expected it to be.
Someone like me who is someone

else.

Life is thoughtful to plate before
me,

Someone who understands and in-
quires

About those things that I think
about,

Maybe, someday, something be-
tween us will transpire.

Please Remember

By Ruby Williams

Remember the times last summer,
can you forget?

The nights the moonlight I re-
member yet.

Your eyes, your lips and the touch
of your hands.

Now those nights are gone but
they were grand.

The fields, lanes and places we

would go
Are all gone now buried in the

snow,
I sit and sigh: the teardrops fiill
Please, please don't say you can't

recall.

Do not say that you can't care

anymore.
You couldn't possibly forget the

times you did before.
Your tender kisses and touch all

told me,
that you cared for me so much.

Soon the fields will be green and

Spring will return.
But deep within, my heart will

burn,
I want and need you.
How can you really say that you

don't want and need me too?

Your kisses so sweet, your arms

so strong,
I ask that you remember, was it

really so wrong?

An Ansiver

By Billy Curry
Tides of the ri%'er where do you

go?
Do you go from bluff to bluff and
From bank to shore, or through

the
Country and out to the seas?
Wherever you go there I will be.

I travel near, far and wide.

For there is no limit to time or

tides.
Tide is through the seas and

around the bend.
Across the country and it never

ends.

Tides carry oysters and also

sand . . .
Created by God and depended

upon man.
Should you call and I am out.
Just you look around; I am all

about.

Do You or
Do Yon Not?

By Billy Curry and Matlie Wise
Do you love me or do you not?
You have told me once but I have

forgot,
I once had a heart so tender and

true.
But now it has gone from me to

you.
So take good care as 1 have done.
Since you have two hearts and 1

have none.

The Killer

B) Joan D. Simmons

The night was clear and smooth

as silk,
The stars shone like a fresh pale

of milk.
The ocean grew calm, the elements

still.
That night was perfect for the kill.

The killer was tall, handsome, and

lean,
His boyish face barely looked

nineteen.
Beneath the mask was a man of

twenty-five,
Who was seeking kicks, thrills and

much jive.

His ego must be appeased to his

extent,
To his desires, victims were lured

to consent.
Diligently he sought his next prey.
His fiery eyes pierced her heart,

beckoned her to obey.

He commanded her to dance; he

meant her no ill.
Readily, she submitted her soul

without will.
They danced to the stillness of the

water's calm.
He held her firm and tight in his

arms.

The closeness of his body melted

her like wax.
While his piercing eyes urged her

to relax.
Little did he care that she was

another's
Or that his last prey was his dear

brother's.

She knew he longed for her now,
someone else tomorrow,

That he nould leave her to mend
her heart and sorrow.

But she dreamed of him endlessly.

And the warm touch his lips sense-
lessl).

When one deals with the killer,

those are inevitable.
Today she's happy, tomorrow

miserable.
And the Killer moves on to find

his next dupe.
Leaving her behind curled in a

loop.

A Beautiful Night

By Beverly Diane Wilson

A beautiful night so filled with
stars and a beautiful moonlight.

For the stars are twinkling and the
moon is shining bright.

The light from above, lights up
your pathway. As you travel
in the night along the dark way.

To someone, the star is a guide,
just as if someone to show them
the way in by their side. To
someone the stars spell a
message as though the night ;
they make their passage.

A beautiful night is a night to see
shower over land and sea. The
night is quite and the ocean is
still, and your heart, with Joy
is filled.

Dr. Ralph Johnson Bundle's
forty-odd honorary degrees and
one iNobel Prize are eloquent testi-
mony to the contributions he has
made to America and to world
peace. He was a high school
valedictorian at Los Angeles'
Jefferson High School; Magna
Cum Laude graduate of the Uni-
versity of California; winner of
the Tappan Prize at Harvard llni-
versity for the best doctoral dis-
sertation in the social sciences in
1934; Post-doctoral study at
Northwestern University, the Lon-
don School of Economics and the
University of Capetown. Johannes-
burg, South Africa. Such is the
academic background of one of
America's most honored Negroes.
After a career at Howard Uni-
versity which paralleled his aca-
demic advancement. Dr. Bunche

A New Look For
SSC Band

Mr. Clyde Ellis Howard is a
native of Savannah, Georgia. He
graduated from Tompkins High
School and continued his educa-
tion at Florida A & M University.

After graduation, he played in
Special Services Unit for two years
in the army. He has worked at
various recording studios in Co-
lumbus and Savannah and is
presently assistant band director
here at Savannah State College.

Mr. Howard stated that the
band will be learning new steps
and will be getting new uniforms
and instruments. He also com-
mented that at football games and
other activities, the band will help
boost more school spirit by play-
ing lively songs along with the
cheerleaders leading yells. He in-
vites everyone to come out and
watch the band during practice as
they do their "THING."

Ncal Brown

was named chairman of Howard's
political science department in
1937. and a year later he joined
ihe Swedish Economist, Gunnar
Myrdul, to begin the compre-
hensive study of the American
Negro, published in 1945 as An
American Dilemma,

By 1942, Dr. Bunche was at
work in the office of Strategic
Service as a research analyst of
material relating to Africa. In
1946 he had the position of
associate chief of the State De-
partment's Dependent Areas sec-
lion. Already a foreign affairs
advisor of growing reputation.
Dr. Bunche left the Stale Depart-
ment for ihe Trusteeship Division
of the United Nations. In quick
succession, he was head of the
United Nation's Trusteeship De-
parlmcnl and personal represeiila-
tive of the United Nation's Secre-
tary-Cencrnl in the extremely
dangerous Arab-Israeli dispute.
Dr. Bunche was luuned Acting
Mediator of the United Nations in
1947. and achieved a historic
sctllcment of the Pulesliiic ques-
tion.

In 19.50 Dr. Bunche received
the Nobei Prize for Peace which
is a rare honor for the Negro.
However, Dr. Bunche has re-
mained with the United Nations
despite the many offers that have
been made to him for his out-
standing leadership and service.
He is now Undersecretary Gen-
eral to the United Nations. In I960
the highly represented "Negro"
was sent to the Congo as the
United Nation's special representa-
tive during the height of the tur-
moil there.

The achievement of this great
man is a focus to long remember.
Dr. Bunche has proven that the
Negro can be successful and make
great achievements if he would
only put forth effort.

HOT DOG - -

A Brief History

The sausage, which is the parent
form of the hot-dog, goes back
about 3,500 years to the time of
the Babylonians. The Greeks
picked it up from the Babylonians
and called it "Orya." It also be-
came popular among Romans who
called it "'Salsus." Eventually,
somebody in the Roman Empire
corrupted that name to "Sausage,"

The Greek poet Homer loved
sausage and therefore his
"Odyssey," written in the 9th
century B.C., contained the first
reference to the food in literature.
The oldest cookbook on record,
written in 228 A.D., had a section
on the sausage.

In 1852 the butchers' guild f>f
Frankfurt. Germany, produced the
first sausage that was smoked and
spiced. It was called the "Frank-
furter,"'

The modern hot-dog in the
roll is an American Invention. In
1867 Charles Feltman, who drove
a pie wagon in Coney Island,
noticed that two new inns had

opened, featuring hot sandwiches.
To compete, he needed a hot
sandwich of his own and came up
with the idea of putting a hot
sausage in a roll. (He boiled the
sausages in a kettle above a char-
coal stove.) He subsetiuently
opened a restaurant in Coney
Island, which sold hot-dogs for
a dime.

During World War I, young
Nathan Handwerker worked for
Feltman's as a roil-slicer and de-
livery boy. Among his customers
was a singing waiter named Eddie
Cantor and his accompanist,
Jimmy Durante. They objected to
the price of hot-dogs and sug-
gested to Nathan that he open his
own place and sell "red-hots" for
a nickel. In 1916 he did just
that, thus establishing Nathan's
Famous, a Coney Island land-
mark.

CORN ON CORN

By The Corny Phantom
Once upon a time there was a
lady who had a husband who did
not work, but she did work. Her
friends wanted to know why she
did this. Her reply was "i work
to make the living, but he makes
the living worthwhile."

There was an old lady who lived
in a shoe, she had so much "toe
jams" she could not catch the flu.

What's the best way to catch an
elephant?

(Get in the bushes and you
make noise like a peanut.)

Mary had a little lamb, oh!
Wasn't the doctor surprised.

The teacher asked little Johnny
to spell chrysanthemum. Little
Johnny asked "Which one, white
or pink?" The teacher replied
"pink." Little Johnny quickly re-
plied "p-i-n-k,"

Twelve pears hanging high
Twelve knights riding by
Each man took a pear
And left eleven hanging there

How was this so?

groups. During his spare time,
Jo Jo enjoys playing golf on a
professional level. He writes songs,
but is looking for his first big
hit. He really enjoys listening to
Wilson Pickett and Brook Benton,

Things began to happen when
Jo Jo started singing with Peggy
at a night club in Columbus,
Georgia about a year ago. They
were both happy with the new
combination and a bright and
successful career was underway.
An album will be forthcoming
from the groovy duo in the near
future. Since their success Peggy
and Jo Jo have appeared with
Wilson Pickett. Arthur Conley,
Etta James, Pigmeat Markham,
Sam & Dave, Joe Simon and many
others.

Put Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Ben-
son together and add the five-piece
band to back up the duo and you
have an outstanding show.

SSC Business Department Club Outlook

"Business is truly one of the
dominant forces of social exist-
ence. The survival, growth, and
happiness of a society and the
ability of a government to meet
ihc needs of the public depend
upon the efficiency and effective-
ness of its enterprises whether
farm or factory, department store
or service station, bake shop or
Iieauty salon, transportation com-
pany 1(1' construction company.
These, in turn, depend very sul)-
stantially on the tjuaiity and
aggressiveness of their manage-
ment."

With deep gratitude, we wisli
to extend our welcome to our
newly appointed Divisional Chair-
man, Dr. Mary C. Torian. con-
tinuing students, and freshmen to
the SSC business department. Dr.
Toi'ian, an energetic, devoted and
a quite capable business woman,
hails to us from Tennessee State
llniversity in Nashville. Tenn..
where she was professor of busi-
ness administration during the
196i'>-60 school term. She received

There have been honks by and

Through knowing ihcm, we liave

This book stands out because it
gives us bolli n great mnii and ihe
great woman who was his wife.
Hul even more significantly, iheirs
is thai most urgent of all moments
in lilslory today.

If we could scparnle the Kings
Martin, Corelta, and the chil-
dren from tlieir lime and tlieir
impact on it, we n'ould have a
stirring story of familial love,
f.'iitli. and courage under the most
trying circumstances. But it was
their time that gave public ex-
pressiun to their humanity and
courage and so made them heroes
for all mankind.

This is their incredible story

Corclta in the Alidwima backroads
where her father's sawmill was

s])ed by each morning covering
her with dust as she ivalked.

The thread from these begin-
nings to the assassin's bullet in
Memphis is between the covers of
this book- woven through each
member of the family, interwoven
with those famous and unheralded
who surrounded them, and dyed
to a thousand subtle hues by those

Hints

B) Harry B. James. Ill
Welcome to Savannah State
College, freshmen. By now you
should have become somewhat ad-
justed to college life. Being a
freshman, T can appreciate the
problems we as a class must face.
High school life is far behind us
now and we can't afford the
luxury of looking back, we must
always look forward to the future
because our future is what we in
the ne.vt few years make it.

Being the largest freshman
class in the history of Savannah
State, we should also strive to he
the best in history. We must make
changes when changes are for the
best interest of SSC. We cannot
afford to be like classes that pre-
ceded us which left no noticeable
impact or changes for the better-
ment of our community. We must
engage in the activities around
the college and community faith-
fully. There are about 40 organi-
zations on the campus for students
to participate in. but ordy a few
arc serving ihe purpose because
of lazy officers who don't think
or act constructively. We must not
allow ourselves to get in this rut.

wortldess man,"

Good Luck, Freshmen!

"A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING!"

Senior Internship Program

Most business seniors were suc-
cessful with appointments that
will hopefully lead tlietn into their
field of concentration upon gradu-
ation. Business laboratory experi-
ences are designed to give students
an opportunity for first-hand ob-
servation and participation in the
"world of organizing and ac-
tivating business activities." We
stress the need for correct atti-
tudes, effective human relations,
application of skills, quality per-
formance, high ethical standards,
and punctuality. We spend two
hours per week discussing case
studies and problems involving a
comprehensive background in gen-
eral business administration and
management. With this we are
expected to spend at least ten
liours in laboratory (intern work)
per week. We do wish to extend
iiur thanks to the City of Savan-
nah, Student Director of Re-
development. Mr. Danny W.
Brown in cooperation with SPUR
(Student Participation in Urban

NEWS SCOPE

Where does the word 'infla-
tion " come from?

In 1.SR7 there was a bar and
grill owner in San Francisco
named George Inflation. One day
he failed to receive a shipment of
booze from the East. Since the
demand for booze was great,
George Inflation decided lo charge
1.5 cents for a shot of whiskey,
instead of the standard 10 cents.
He also made ihe shot glass
smaller.

This did not stop his customers
from buyitig booze, so he raised
the price to 21) cents, then to 2,5
cents. The other bars in San
Francisco raised their prices ac-
cordingly, and when their custom-
ers complained, the other bar and
grill owners would say "Blame it
on Inflation." Thus, inflation soon
became part of the English
Language,

Constant Struggle for World Peace

By Larry

Since I lie beginning of time
man has had rivals. Even primitive
men had rivals over hunting
grounds and watering places. This
conflict seems lo be a continuing
process.

Through ihc ages. huiTianily has
suffereil ihe pain of war and
slavery, each generation search-
ing for something that is not there.
This long waiting, but constant
search for peace, seems hopeless.

The world's face is marked with
lines, cuts, and bruises from
generations past. Man continues
to repeat the historical cycle by
raising arms and weapons against
each other. He will, no doubt,
eventually destroy himself.

We have survived two major
world wars. World Wars I and
II. Bolli left their marks of battle
and the stains of human blood on
the earth's cru-sl. Each incident
seems to give results a periofl of
peace, tlien conflict follows.

In many countries today,
famine, war, and poverty haunt

Brown

the land. Children die from starva-
tion, not only because of the lack
of food, but, of love, security,
hope, and companionship. They
spend their lives scarchiiig, ihey
die clinging to the thought that
peace will eventually coiiie.

The Vietnam crisis, whicli
emerged at the beginning of the
60's, has claimed thousands of
lives. Many Americans still do not
know why lliey arc fighting this
war. Since this war began, many
families have seen the black bow
on the altar, and have seen their
loved ones cross ihe bar.

Will there ever be "World
Peace"? Will every man. one day,
have e([ualily? Musi we add In the
conflicts that we already present,
or shall we erase their lines that
have long been made?

Let a new day and a peaceful
era emerge from these pilfalls. We
are fighting a slow deterniined
battle, bul there is hope, and we
shall one day reach our ultimate
goal.

Those Secretaries ! ! !

By E.M.S.
Long before 1 became a student are beset by many tasks this is

at Savannah Stale College 1 heard
ihrough "the Grapevine" of those
Lionesses in the Registrar's Office
and how they growled and snarled
at all persons who had any busi-
ness in ihe lion's deti (Registrar's
office). One would ihink since the
Registrar's office is under new
administration the secretaries
would cool iheir growl or either
discontinue it; yet, they continue.
This sounds strange.

I no longer listen lo the com-
ments of others who have had the
pleasure of visiting these lionesses;
I have been there myself and
from that one visit I would like
to say in their defense, "Lay off
those Secretaries!"

Maybe you are displeased be-
cause ihey don't greet you with a
warm cheering smile, but how can
they have a smile when going
through ihe records of over 3,000
students who attend SSC, checking
grades, filing records, going over
applications, and fitting in the
misfits? These may seem easy
tasks; yel, they arc really hercu-
lean in their demands. These
tasks require much hard work and
patience; and patience is a quality
which many students feel you
darlings lack. Even though you

no reason for you secretaries not
to part your lips lo form a great
big smile. Even if it hurt.

Another incident I have heard
of and witnessed is the rude re-
marks and profane language made
in reference lo students and to
your co-workers dear secretaries.
No need lo let the world know
you know this type of language,
il is a reflection on your back-
ground. Yel, I can sympathize
with the secretaries on this case,
all human beings have a tendency
lo blow their lops when the
pressure point is reached, but I
cannot sympathize when it is
exercised in front of the students.
Why not go lo ihe bathroom,
the toilet, walls, and sink and let
lliem know how you feel.

Students, lay off the secretaries
in the Registrar's office, they are
only human. The next time when
you are fortunate enough to have
some business in the office walk
in with a bright charming smile
showing all thirty-two or none,
maintain the smile and overlook
all the snarling, growling, and
barking they do. However, before
you depart, leave the name of a
good book on business courtesies,
this article or the name of a good
psychiatrist.

A Player^s Dream

By Janice Bryant
Playing football in high school
meant little more than winning
or losing the game. To some it
meant winning a scholarship to a
college or university that had long
been a dream to them. But then
you get there and you find out
what it is really like to play foot-
ball for a college or university ,
be it large or small. The rules are
more rigid, for instance, you end
up staying in the dorm for a cer-
tain length of time so that you will
obey the rules of early to bed and
early to rise. It is seen to that you
are fed properly and don't do the
things you shouldn't do.

Then comes the big day. \our
first game and you are so scared
you want to run somewhere and
hide, but you know that is im-
possible. Everyone is watching
you to see just what you can do.
You are filling in the position of
a well known, very successful
player who graduated in the
spring and went on to professional
football. You wonder if it would
be possible for you to do the same
as this player ahead of you. Well,
there is only one way to find out,
hang in there and do your thing!
There's llie kick-off. Well, the
first play was a good one. at least
for your team. The kick was good
and you now have possession of
the ball. Here's the second play.
Looks good so far. Wow! That
sure was a big fellow that tackled
your good friend. Well, that's alt
in the game. What's this? The
coach is calling for you to go in.
Well, here is the big moment. Go
on out there and do your best.

It's funny how the players on
the opposing team look bigger
when you come out on the field.
There's the play. Here they come!
Well, you got the ball off just in
time. So this is what it's like to
play college football. Aw. this isn't
much different from high school.
except that the coach is more strict
on the pla)ers, the guys are
bigger, the plays are harder and
the rules are somewhat different.
Other than that, it's all the same.
Well, so far things have gone
rather well. But now what's
happening? Your opponent has
scored another touchdown and the
game is almost over. He missed
the extra point and you still have
a chance to win this game. Your
coach is putting you back in again
so here you go.

This is an all important touch-
down and you only have 1:54 to
make it. Here's the play. Wow,
your man was tackled before he
could even get through the line.
Back to the huddle for a new idea.
Hey! That play just might work.
No harm in giving it a try; so
back you go again. According to
the clock this will be the last
chance to either make it or break
it. Here we go again. Your re-
ceiver is blocked and there is no
one else to receive the ball from
you, so you will have to try to
run the ball yourself. It looks as
if you might have the room to
make the touchdown so here you
go. You are receiving rather good
blocking, and it looks as if you
might make it. You are being
tackled, now the referee is holding
up liis hands. You made that all
important touchdown and you
feel on top of the world. The PAT
is good and your team comes out
on top. Your first game has been
a successful one and now you
have seen what it is like to play
football for your favorite college.
Now your hopes move on to bigger
and better things, like for instance
professional football? If 1 can do
this well now, just think, some
day I may be a star!

SSC Battles Clark TIGERS TEAM 1969-70

In Honiecomins:

By Harry James

As always. Homecoming is
looked upon as one of the high-
lights of the academic year with
cherished memories to be looked
back upon forever.

The two main events of Home-
coming are the selection of Miss
SSC and the homecoming game.
This year Savannah Stale picks
up the old rivalry, Clark College,
from Atlanta. Georgia. This should
prove to be a very exciting and
action packed game, with Savan-
nah State's and Clark College's
prestige on the line.

The Tigers last year rose to the
occasion and defeated Clark 23-12
in Atlanta on a humid Saturday
evening and Clark is seeking their
revenge. The SSC team is likewise
again trying to prove the "Blue
and Orange" rules the South.

When Clark arrives in Savan-
nah, they shall receive a warm
welcome and hopefully will leave
Savannah with one more tearful
loss to their credit from the mighty
Tiners.

The band will be decked out in
their new uniforms and should
again put Clark's marching
Panthers to shame with ease. In-
cluded in half time activities
beautiful Miss SSC and her charm-
ing attendants should make the
Panthers wish they could stay at
SSC forever, but wishful thinking
won't help them on the field or
off the field.

ALL THE WAY MIGHTY
TIGERS.

SSC WILL ALWAYS BE!

Sports Scoop

By Hnrry James
The Tiger football team so far
has proven they have the potential
to win but not the needed experi-
rnrc to be a winner. With a con-
siderable number of outstanding
players gone through graduation,
this has weakened the team and
left many positions up for grabs
to be filled by ine.'ipericnced fresh-
men who must get accustomed to
the rough play of the SIAC and
learn the ropes of college football.
The defense so far in the young
season has proven to be the
promising part of the squad.
Anchored by Carlton Moffett,
Willie Reynolds, Nathaniel
Howard and Rodney Dnisc.

The offense is lacking punch
iind must jell before the Tigers
( an expert to better last year's
di'^inal record of two wins and six
losses. An offensive threat must be
found to replace last year's scor-
ing leader Felix Bell to give solid
punch to the offense which has
failed to score n point so far.

As the season progresses things
can only look up for the young
Tiger team untler the direction of
tlie new head coach John Myles.

Tigers Stung
By Hornets

By Harry James and
Janice Bryant

Despite a great defensive effort
by the Tiger's headhunters. the
team lost a heartbreaker in its
opener to Alabama State, 17-0.

During the first half the Tigers
played the Hornets bite for bite,
sting for sting and were successful
on several occasions driving deep
into the opponents' territory. The
young Tigers, anticipating pay
dirt any minute, hope faded when
the ASC defense refused to buckle
under the first half as well as the
second.

The Tigers did manage to
muster some glory in the second
half with an exciting 62 yard
kick-off return by the dangerous
Robert Saxby. Other outstanding
offensive players included rookie
James Pugh, Henderson Riley,
Lorenzo Bennett and Freddie
Mosley.

The Tiger offense chalked up
129 yards rushing with an incon-
sistant 31 yards passing. Outstand-
ing on defense included Carlton
Moffett, Joe Gibbs. Freddie
Gaston, Andre Alston, Charles
Kelly and Max Parker. The de-
fense was successful in stopping
drives by the Hornets with their
outstanding secondary picking off
three ASC passes.

Tigers Slaughter

SSC Tigers, after experiencing
two losses, tasted their first bite
of sweet victory by stomping Lane
College, 34-7 on October 11. in
the Tigers' stadium.

The enthusiastic crowd wit-
nessed the Tigers' defense, ranked
19th among small colleges, set up
two touchdowns. Robert Saxby
drove the fans to their feet with
his spectacular 94 yard touch-
down. The defense harrassed
Lane's quarterbacks, Donald Gray
and Ahon Burton, with four inter-
ceptions.

The Tigers exploded in the
fourth quarter with 20 points to
pull the game out of reach of the

HARRY JAMES. Ill

Tigers Fall To
Alabama A & M

By Harry James and
Lymie Bradley

Plagued by costly mistakes.
Coach Jolm Myles' team lost to
the less talented team of Alabama
A & M, 14-0.

The Alabama Bulldogs, led by
the pinpoint passing of quarter-
back Jerry Fuller and outstanding
receiving by Leonard Cooper, were
able to take the SSC Tigers by the
tail, giving them their second loss
of tiie football season. The Bull-
dogs drew their first goal on a
three yard run by Oliver Ross,
with Mutson Averitt kicking the
extra point taking a lead of 7-0.

SSC's Robert Saxby, running
like a wild man (doing his thing),
tried to keep the Tigers in the
game; unfortunately the other
Tigers weren't doing their thing.

With a balanced running and
passing attack, the Bulldogs com-
l)leteiy out-classed the young and
hard fighting Tigers.

Exceptionally outstanding again
for the Tigers was Donald (Wild-
man) Wright, who plays like his
name implies, fortunately for the
Tigers and unfortunately for the
opposing teams.

Leonard Garrett was credited
with 11 tackles in the game,
proving you even have to play
hard to lose.

MR, EUGENE JACKSON

Mr. E. J. Jackson
Serves as lAE
Consultant

On Friday. October 31, and Sat-
urday, November 1, 1969 tlie
Sixth Annual Conference of the
Georgia Industrial Arts Associa-
tion met in the Dempsey Hotel at
Macon, Georgia.

Some of the topics discussed
Here: Industrial Arts Present and
Future, Teaching Techniques and
Industry.

Mr. Eugene J. Jackson. Coordi-
nator of Industrial Arts Education
at Savannah State College, served
as one of the Teacher Educators:
Answering questions concerning
the present and future role of In-
dustrial Arts in our clianging so-
ciety.

Mr. Jackson, in his remarks
about Savannah State College, re-
lated some of the facts concerning
its history, and offerings, the aims
of the institution, its image in the
community and its outlook for the
future. He also gave a summary
of the program offered in the Divi-
sion of Technical Sciences and
challenged the High School Teach-
ers to encourage their graduates
to attend College and to major in
Industrial Arts Education.

President B. Muggridge of the
Georgia Industrial Arts Associa-
tion praised Mr. Jackson highly
for having served as a consultant
at the conference and for the very
informative and encouraging re-
marks extended.

He also stated that we need
more dedicated instructors like
Mr. Jackson who might motivate
and inspire the young people of
Georgia to prepare for a more pro-
ductive and meaningful life.

It is always a pleasurt
honor to write to you as your
President, especially during these
times of depression, oppression,
and suppression.

I must commend you, the Stu-
dent Body, on your behavior dur-
ing the week of Homecoming and
the bus trips to Fort Valley and
Jacksonville,

Many of us consider leaders.
presidents, chairmen as persons
who are supposed to do all things.
THIS IS NOT TRUE! Many of
the students attending Savannah
State consider the President of the
Student Government, the Vice-
President of S.G.A., and Editors
of the Tijier's Roar and Ti^er as
miracle workers, persons able to
perform miracles instantly. These
persons are merely elected officials
of yours, the student body. They
can not make things completely
right by themselves. They will
merely stand with you when there
are things wrong that effect the
entire Student Body. This means
events and problems that have
some concreteness should be
brought to the attention of these
persons.

I know that most of us are will-
ing to have a change, but so few
are willing to struggle for the
manv changes that are needed on
this campus. STOP BEING MIS-
EDICATED BY MOST OF
THESE INSTRUCTORS WHO
ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH
ANYTHING EXCEPT THE
FIRST OF THE MONTH WHEN
THEY STEAL FROM THE
STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDU-
CATION. WAKE UP! TO WHAT
IS HAPPENING AROUND YOU!
RONALD CLARK,
President of the S.G.A.

By Augustus llo(vnrd
To the Brothers and Sisters of
Savannah State who didn't pay
any attention to or didn't take part
in the special services concerned
with those who have given their
lives in the Vietnam War, ! say
to you, you should have.

You are the ones it will affect,
and to some, it has already af-
fected you in some indirect way.
Sure. Brotliers and Whities still
don't see eye to eye in many
aspects, but it's a known fact that
the men of both races don't want
this senseless killing. The Broth-
ers should be concerned moreso
because they will still be in the
same boat no matter how good
in battle tliey do. The bad thing
is that we are already outnum-
bered in America and this war
isn't helping us population wise.

You men may say, they won't
bother me because I'm in school,
but Brothers, you had better wake
up. Did you know that some
lunatic is in the process of pro-
posing a bill to end alt student
deferments? Most of you didn't.
Another thing, did you know that
as soon as you finish college, no
matter what your major may be,
that you're going to be drafted,
taught and shipped to fight? Like
I know this for a fact and some
of you do, too.

So I say get into all of the anti-
war movements that you can.
Nixon says that he has a plan. Do
you know that by the time his so-
called plan comes into effect you
Brothers may be pushing daisies,
not cookies but daisies. This war
is also affecting the women. What
are you going to do if almost all
of the young mm are dead? A
chilling thought, isn't il?

You may say. what's the use,
there's a lot of use. If we keep
pushing and pushing like so many
people are doing around this
country, someone has got to give,
and that someone is Richard
Nixon. To those of you who still
aren't convinced, just look in your
paper to see how many soldiers
got killed, or better still, and
pardon the expression, go attend
one of your home boy's funeral.
Get the picture!

If you want a thing to do, then
this is it!

CLASSES NOT ACTIVE

By Essii

What are we to expect from the
Freshman. Sopliomore, Junior and
Senior Class organizations? Is it
to be the same amount of nothing
received last year? Is there going
lo be any actions taken by classes
or must we look forward to seeing
photographs of class queens and
altendants?

Each year the classes organize
and make plans. These plans never
reach reality. They die a quick
death in the home of their birth.

interpret my statements, the classes
do sponsor and participate in some
activities, such as homecoming,
the Juniors give the Seniors a
prom, the Seniors take a trip and
then well, there is notliing else.

SSC Gripe Coluiim

Compiled by

Arretta Goff, Ernestine Caslle

and Annie L. Willioms

What's your gripe? if there is

anything you don't like about the

campus, the instructors, classes,

or just anything, then you may

gripe about it in this "Gripe

Column."

The construction of the new stu-
dent center is moving at such a
slow pace, you would think that
only one person has been working
on il. I wonder what's the hold
up?

Impatient

Il makes no sense for the stu-
dents to walk on the grass when
it's beginning to grow. After all.
nature deserves to live just as we
humans.

Concerned

What's the hold-up. Kappas ?
Why isn't your park in a decent
condition?

A Kappa Lover

I am so-ooo tired of eating
around filth in the dining hall.
Can't the workers do something
about keeping it in a sanitary
condition?

D.A.

We think there should be a
place provided to accommodate
coals and umbrellas when social
activities are held in the gym.

Girls who have had items stolen

I think we should be able to
celebrate all national holidays.
I'm sure the instructors will agree.
L.H.R.

The following items are needed
in Wright Hall:

1. A telephone on third floor.

2. A washer and dryer.

3. Trash cans in halls and rest
rooms.

4. Another water fountain.
This can make one disgusted.

especially if you look back and
see how much we pay for room
and board.

Fellows of Wright Hall
The waitresses in the dining
hall have very nasty attitudes
toward the students. This is not
called for, and we want it stopped!
After all, we are paying to eat in
this place and the workers should
process a more friendly attitude
toward the students.

HAVE
A SAFE

and

HAPPY

THANKSGIVING

According to a spokesman in
BACC, we dear students of SSC do
not know what being Black is. It
was stated, "I can not criticize
BACC because I'm on outside
looking in." So, I shall relate in
the words of its prime minister
Kabiu the goals and ideals of
BACC.

They are not seeking alone.
They believe they can be more ef-
fective working through other
groups. BACC thinks it can ac-
complish its goal of Blacknizing
students through this means. The
organizations will (a hope of
BACC) bring their problems to
them. But what will they do with
these problems, talk about them
in the meetings of BACC and then
write about them in the "Tiger's
Roar"? I am not suggesting mili-
tant actions.

Kabiu stated, "Every time a
Black organization is formed
Blacks get scared and refuse to
support it because Blacks think it
refers to militant actions." We
will not doubt the validity of this
statement. He goes on to say the
Blacks are seeking their identity
and it is hard for a Black to real-
ize he is Black. In order for a
Black to accomplish any goal he
must think Black. But what is
Black thinking? Can any member
of BACC tell a student of SSC.
And is it not true regardless of
any minority group that all men
seek their self identity?

Blacks have been brain-washed
so long they do not know what
Black thinking is. Instructors, says
Kabiu, have brain-washed the
minds of Blacks, telling him to
forget his Blackness. But how can
he as long as mirrors are around?

The blame for class inactivity
does not lie with the advisors, but
it does lie with the students. They
are not concerned with the organ-
ization therefore the class organ-
ization becomes dead. The fault
could lie within the executives of
the organization. They could lack
the initiative and ability to make
the class spring into action. They
could have been elected because
of their bright smile or charming
personality, maybe the officers
were elected because they lived in
the dormitory or lived in the city;
therefore, they were elected so one
group would not dominate. All
these reasons are elementary, yet
they are practiced by supposedly
mnlurc college students.

Something must be done to
rectify this condition. If these
dosses were active, it would stimu-
late more interest in class organ-
izations and more interest in the
welfare of the college. But it is
up to the students to give support
to the organizations, it is up lo
the students to elect officers wih
creative ability and leadership
ability, it is up to the students to
do all these things so that the
class organizations and students
will become unified.

Think these ideas over, they
are not loo way out. It is a means
through which SSC can become a
great college. Students, it is up
to you. Support your class organ-
ization and eliminate it's inac-
tivity.

A HOT TALK-IN

By Essie Stewart

Friday, October 31 was a rare
day for the students who attended
the talk-in or assembly which was
presided over by the SGA Presi-
dent. Ronald Clark. If Tliomas
Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin
could have seen the students of
SSC use the right. Freedom of
Speech, their hearts would have
been tickled pink.

For those of you who were not
there i shall give you a brief sum-
mation of some of the practices,
rules, and people whose malprac-
tices were brought out of the realm
of darkness into the glorious sun-
light.

The first was B. J. James, the
Bandilo by tlie sea. The question
was posed, "Is Bandito James do-
ing us a favor by selling his
goodies at such outrageous
prices?" It is true that Bandito
James must make a living, but
must he make his way to Haber-
sham Woods (a suburb for the
highly affluent) through the pock-
etbooks of the poor black students
of SSC. Maybe the Bandito does
not know of the expenses of at-
tending SSC for day students and
especially the boarding students.
The solution suggested a boycott
of the store. If the students live
up lo tliis, the prices will go down
or either B. J. James, the Bandito,
will close down.

The second topic discussed was
keeping SSC beautiful. Those
ladies and gentlemen in the Mr.
and Miss Colt 45 and the Mr. and
Miss Red and White Ripple con-
tests, please start depositing your
bottles in the trash cans. Maybe
more trash cans are needed lo
eliminate some of the litter found
on the campus grounds. The solu-
tion lo this problem is to deposit
your litter in the nearest trash can
after eating, or drinking on the
campus.

The third practice brought to
light was the Business Office. In
simple language. "Business Office,
your business is BAD!" Tliere are
three major areas where the Busi-
ness Office is inefficient. The first
is the refunding of money. In the
words of the student spokesman,
"If you owe the business office a
penny it must be paid immedi-
ately; however, the situation is re-
versed if the Business department
owes you." According to the
spokesman waiting for one's
money lo be returned is like wait-
ing until the 12th of Never. The
second is the business is much too
slow during the process of regis-
tration. And last, more help should
be obtained during registration.

Tlie fourth item concerned more
privileges for the young ladies in
the Freshmen's dormitory. The
young ladies feel their curfew-
should be 2 o'clock every night of
the week, h was also pointed out
that the young ladies in the dorm
must share one phone. Also
brought lo light was tlie incapabil-
ity of the dorm's director. Once
these statements concerning the
dorm were made flames began to

roar. Ronald Clark, SGA presi-
dent, slated "the wishes of young
ladies in llie dorm is not a new
thing." He went on lo say. "Why
slay out until 2 a.m. when the only
place left open is Holiday Inn?
\^ h\ not |)ush to get more names
on the Honor Roll Sheet and less
names on the academic probation
list? Tiien the social pri\ ileges
can come later."

The fifth item discussed was tar-
diness in classes. Some students
feel that it is unfair for teachers
lo have fifteen minutes leeway to
class and that it is unfair for teach-
ers lo ridicule students when ihey
are late. After all. who is paying
the instructors?

The sixth topic discussed was
the age-old gripes between city
and dorm students. It was said the
city students need to lake more
interest in the activities of the
college. Everyone is continually
griping but nothing is being done
to rectify the situation.

The last topic discussed brought
to light some of the unfair prac-
tices of Dr. Dean and Dr. Tucker.
According to a student spokes-
man "Dr. Dean has not been pass-
ing a large majority of the Social
Science majors." Why is this so?
No one except Dr. Dean and the
student who did not pass knows.
Because of this, Dr. Dean, it has
been said you need to reevaluate
yourself. Dr. Tucker's major fault
is favoritism and Dr. Rand is said
to be a racist.

These are the major faults
which were brought out in the
talk-in. It is up lo the student
body and the faculty to solve these
problems. It is up to them to de-
termine whether these complaints
are valid and reasonable. In con-
clusion, student body and faculty,
do something about them!

These opinions do not necessar-
ily represent the view of the writer
and the newspaper staff. It is
merely to inform the uninformed.

Thanksgiving, A
Time of Thanks

By Martha Anderson

Thanksgiving Day is a day of
giving praise and thanks for the
previous year and also for family
gatherings.

Thanksgiving Day is a national
holiday in the United States ob-
served on the fourth Thursday in
November in churches and homes.
Home celebrations include an elab-
orate dinner, usually with turkey,
cranberries, and pumpkin pie. The
festivities often last four days be-
cause many businesses remain
closed on the Friday following the
holiday.

The first Thanksgiving celebra-
tion in America was held in 1621
after the recently arrived Pilgrim
settlers had reaped their first har-

Maybe Prime Minister Kabiu is
referring to it in a mental sense.
According to Kabiu the student
body of SSC is not ready to stand
and face its blackness. Yet BACC
has not done anything to help the
student body. If it has I would
like to see or hear of it.

This argument could go on end-
lessly as to what BACC professes
and to what I believe. But to the
organization All I say to you is
to keep writing your articles and
keep having your meetings, for
you are the only ones profiting by
it. Most long articles filled with
the contemporary ideals of Black-
ness should be published in books,
not in the school's newspaper. If
those articles are the best you can

do, well You can take your

place upon the list with the other
non-active organizations on the
campus of SSC.

To the student body I say, do
not build your hopes high for this
organization for it lacks support
within as well as without. BACC,
I am on to you and will continue
to stay on ) ou until you do some-
thing to the organization or to ME.

Try pushing Upward.

B. J. James
Coimiients On
Boyeott

By Augustus Howard
The students, under the leader-
ship of the Student Government
Association President. Ronald
Clark, have been engaged in a
boycott of B. J. James* Confec-
tionery.

Recently, there was a discussion
with James pertaining to the boy-
cott. When asked if the boycott
was affecting him in any way,
James said, "Yes, it is affecting
me physically, financially and
mentally. So much so that I do
not see any possible chance of re-
covering from it at my age."

He said that he did not see any
chances of lowering the prices. *T
can not buy certain items at whole-
sale prices and 1 can not keep
certain items for a long period of
time and must sell these items at
tliose prices." James said that he
would be willing to stop buying
items that could not be bought at
wholesale prices.

James has talked with Clark and
sent information to him; however,
he said that Clark has not an-
swered or seen him concerning the
matter. James said, "It would be
better if the boycott comes to an
end and i am willing to cooperate
in any way."

This boycott started May 23rd,
but did not reach its peak until
about four weeks ago. The boy-
cott, which is silent, is not quite
effective because some students are
still purchasing items from the
store. It is a disadvantage to those
students who do not have trans-
portation. For instance, imagine
going to K-Mart or M. and M. just
to get a tube of toothpaste.

Ronald Clark is an outstanding
leader and the day will come, hope-
fully, that James and he will work
together and reach an agreement
about the prices.

vest, which was responsible for
their survival through the coming
winter. To commemorate this gay
fortune, they shot wild turkeys and
feasted for lliree days with friendly
Indians who had helped them in
their farming.

Thanksgiving is celebrated with
these big dinners and joyous re-
unions, but let's not forget it is
also a time for serious religious
thinking, church services, and
prayers.

The Leaf

By Richard Moses
When the leaf in Spring is first

seen.
The countenance so delicate.
Is of a lovely shade of pale green,
the beautiful leaf.

It is seen after Summer's brush

has laid.
Upon its delicate face,
A green of a deeper hue and

shade,
the beautiful leaf.

Throughout Summer the leaf pro-
vides shade for all.

Sitting upon its bough.

The leaf ushers in the season
called fail,

the beautiful leaf.

This season detaches the leaf from

its tree.
And on the winds.
The leaf dances across the meadow

merrily,
the beautiful leaf.

Seen now with faces of a yellow

and gold.
The leaf so fair.
Dances in winter season icy and

cold,
the beautiful leaf.

The leaf now wears a face of
brown

In a final dance.

The leaf must flutter to the wait-
ing ground,

O the beautiful leaf.

Down from the heavens the snow

will pour,
Upon the wrinkled face,
A face that will be seen never

more.
O the beautiful leaf.

The Bar

By Johnnie Louise Sanders
The name of each station is bar.
The fittest of names by far.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell,
We ail named it, and named it

A bar to manliness and wealth,
A door to want and broken health.
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to grief and sin and shame,

A bar to hopes, a bar to prayer.
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to an honored useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless
strife.

A bar to all that is true and brave,
A door to every drunkard's grave.
A bar to joys that home imparts,
A door to tears and aching hearts.

A bar to heaven, a door to hell.
We named it, and named it well.

Death Is For Me

By Essie Stewart
Lost am I in this great big world.
My heart beats fast and un-
steadily
As my head continues to whirl.
I ask what is left for me.

Amid all of this hate and con-
fusion
I stop to take a deserved rest.
My mind is filled with ghastly
illusions,
For this great big world is in
a mess!

Mothers have lost all sense of
responsibility;
Daughter care not for to-
morrow.
Fathers are too blind to see
Their sons trembling in the
realm of sorrow.

What is there left for me to do?

1 am lost and no one under-
stands me.
Who in this world can I turn to?

The only thing I am able to see
Is death awaiting me in the sea.

Death is the only thing for me.

Learn Baby^ Learn

By Terrence Romanski
Afro- American Brother and

Blacks,
Get hip to something and get on

tlie track.

"Get down brother and do your

thing!
The cries go out as he beats a

white king.
"You know cards better than you

know your books.
When she walks away, there are

some dirty looks.
"She thinks she is so smart, and

others are dumb.
But she has the trait individual-
ism.
You don't have to be dumb, you

do not have to be smart.
Just trying to learn gives you the

best start.
Parties and love are fine, but hit

those books.
The Whitey can not say, they are

a bunch of crooks.
He will say, "I don't know any

dumb niggers, honey."
He can not say because we are

making all the money.
Educated and learned we can tear

up the town.
And bring Mr. Charlie down to

the ground.
Then you can party and give love

no slack,
Why? We as a people will be on

the track.
Doing our things without violence

or burning,
Making our name by the power

of learning.
Go for yourself, you are number

one,
Already you have the battle half

won.
To you do not be anything less

than first place,
Think number one in this human

race.
There is no need for the policy,

'burn, baby burn,'
\o[i must make it on this, 'learn,

baby learn.'

Thought Of
Human Unity

By Bill Curry
You and I are both the same,
To think different 'tis a shame.
What would happen if I were

you?
Would 1 be me or someone new?
(A person for all the world to see,
Or just another soldierly me.)
We are a legion, you and I
Like the equation "X" plus "Y."
(Why are we alienated
Instead of being congregated.)
Let us appreciate one another
Giving love to sister and brother.
Stay the efficient. But let them

choose
While we become a nocturn of

news.

fierce father, his adored brother
Caleb, and he recalls his struggles
as a youth, his love affair with a
white girl (Barbara King) who

This book is beautifully formed.
Violence is ever present and very
important in the book, but there
is a relishing of it, no glory de-

Black Like Me

Author John Howard Griffin

Tlie author, who is white, con-
ceived the unusual notion of black-
ening his skin with a newly devel-
oped pigment drug and traveled
through the Deep South as a
Negro.

In describing his encounters
with the Negroes and whiles, Grif-
fin not only reveals the depth of
the gulf separating the races in
the South but conveys the impact
of being inside someone else's skin.

Tell, as he does so well, what
he felt during the first six weeks.
Griffin's experiences were not bod
but he did find that when his un-
usual journalistic metliods became
public he and his family could no
longer live in their home town of
Mansfield.

The main points of the author
are frankness and personal hon-
esty which raises the book high
above the sensational aspects of
its conception,

Nixon Comes Forth

By Ess it
The Presif'ent of the United
States came forth to the people
of America via television to an-
nounce his plans for negotiating
a just peace in Vietnam. We look
at his plan now to see if it is
really just and to see if all the
masses were satisfied to a certain
degree by his address.

By announcing several weeks
earlier that the speech would be
given, Nixon caused much world-
wide speculation. Many were
doubtful as to the course of action
that would be taken. The two main
courses anticipated were a uni-
lateral cease-fire or a doubling
of the rate of U. S. troop with-
drawals.

On Tuesday night, November
4, the President surprised the
nation while it suffered humilia-
tion. He said that there would be
no total war pullout; however, the
U. S. and the South Vietnamese
government has adopted a plan
for the complete withdrawals of
all U. S. ground combat forces
and their replacement by South
Vietnamese forces on an orderly
scheduled timetable. (The Presi-
dent refused to divulge his time-
table. I The nation suffered
humiliation because indirectly
Mr. Nixon said the United States,
the world's greatest power, could
defeat a small country like North
Vietnam,

Now we return to the question
of justness were the President's
statements reasonable? Can we,
the voters, hope for tomorrow's
success or failure and accept it?
'Ihe reasonable answer is yes. The
U. S. is in a very tight position.
We can not pull out completely
from South Vietnam because of
the previous commitments made
by Presidents and because of our
foreign policies, nor can we wage
a full scale war without pulling in
Red China and possibly Russia
on the battlefield.

President Nixon used the only
possible alternative; he reassured

South Vietnam of our support for
a limited period of time and as-
sured the masses that our active
participation in this undeclared
war on North Vietnam would
come to an end in the near future.

The next question: Did he
satisfy Americans regardless of
race, color, or political convic-
tion? The answer to this question
is yes. He brought into the light
the silent majority and he ap-
peased the outspoken majority by
his assurance of a complete with-
drawal and a peaceful situation.
Both majority groups were satis-
fied to a certain extent by the
President's address. If Nixon fails
in his attempt to reach his goals,
all actions to support him and his
decisions (for example, the ac-
tions of veteran and other citizen
groups to blunt the second Mora-
torium Day set for November 15),
will be in vain. His failure will
also lessen the chances for the
Republicans to capture the office
of "Chief Executive" in 1972.

Nixon's acceleration now is a
sharp contrast to the short period
of inactivity when he entered the
office in 1968. He has provided
an opportunity for the citizens of
the U. S., Black, White, Yellow
or Red tu get together. Nixon's
statements are just; ihey please
the majority of the citizens in the
U. S. But whether his plan will
fail or succeed is an entirely
different question. We must sit
and wait for the highly unpredict-
able outcome.

The chemistry department be-
gan its. year by socializing with
its new majors and new depart-
ment head, Dr. Willie G. Tucker.
This social is an annual affair
which affords the entering fresh-
men and transfer students an
opportunity to meet the members
of the department, both professors
and other chemistry majors. This
year all enjoyed themselves at the
home of Dr. Tucker.

The American Chemical Society
here at SSC chose as its queen

Savannah, Ga. She is a graduate
of the College of Medical Tech-
nology with a degree in Medical

SSC Debating
Society

By Mr. Delacy Sanford
Students at Savannah State Col-
lege are usually unaware of the
organizations which exist on their
campus. The Savannah State Col-
lege Debating Society has been in
existence for over seven years, yet,
there are few students who are
aware of the goals and achieve-
ments of this group.

The Debating Society was first
coached by Mr. E. J. Josey, a
former Librarian at Savannah
State. The goat of this organiza-
tion was to develop the ability of
individuals to think critically and
respond to pressure under inter-
collegiate competition. This society
has included some of Savannah
State's bright students. One of the
first members of the society was
Bobby Hill. Mr. Hill is now a
lawyer and a member of the
Georgia House of Representatives.
Mr. Hill received the assistance of
Mr. Josey in obtaining his fellow-
ship to Law School. Other out-
standing members under Mr. Josey
ucre James Brown and Mary
Muss.

In 1963 Mr. Wilbur C. McAfee
became interested in debating and
he began to work along with Mr.
Jusey. In January of 1964 he be-
rame Director of the Debating
Society. He carried the organiza-
tion to new and exciting heights.
Members of his team included:
Eloise Anderson, James Sapp,
Craig Ford. Hazel Johnson, and
Delacy Sanford. Under his leader-
ship, the Savannah State Debating
Society won over such schools as
Rutgers B team, Randolph-Macon,
McCalaster College of St. Paul,
Minnesota, Virginia State, Fort
Valley, and Penn State. In 1965
be aided one of his debaters,
Delacy Sanford to receive a
S3. 500 fellowship to Carnegie-
Mellon University to work on his
Masters degree in History and
Urban Affairs. The same year the
Debating Society received an
Eleanor Roosevelt Inter-Cultural
Exchange grant to travel to St.
Paul, Minnesota for a cultural ex-
change discussion between Savan-
nah State and McCalaster College.

The Chess Club
Wants Members

The Chess Club, under the
leadership of William Common,
invites all interested students to
consider joining its elite group.

Those who can not play but are
interested in learning may join
and be admitted to the training
program. Weekly meetings of the
club are held on Wednesdays in
the Technical Science building at
6 p.m. in room 202.

The club would like to schedule
matches between other colleges,
and would like to have more mem-
bers to participate. This new
organization is under the direction
of Dr. Raul, instructor of chem-
istr\.

This trip proved to be one of the
most exciting of his trips.

Mr. McAfee worked with the
team until September of 1966. at
that time he was appointed as Di-
rector of Upward Bound and
David Roberts took over as head
of the society. Under Mr. Roberts'
leadership the team traveled to
Chicago to debate the University
of Chicago. Since its existence the
Debating Society has made such
national tournaments as John
Hopkins University, The Peach
Tree Classic at Emory in Atlanta,
Wake Forest University in Win-
ston-Salem University and several
other smaller tournaments. In
September of 1967-68 Mr. McAfee
returned to work with the club but
gave way to one of his former
debaters. Delacy W. Sanford, who
bad joined the faculty in Septem-
ber of 1968.

During last year the debating
team defeated Columbia Univer-
sity, Cornell University, Univer-
sity of Maryland. University of
Virginia, Randolph-Macon, and
lied Villinova. The members of
the team included Carolyn Clark.
Donald Cook, Rosa Reynold.
Michael Pratt. James Price,
Tommy Elder, Roy Jackson, Caro-
l)n Green and Maybell Jackson.

This year the team hopes to
have a successful year. The new
members of the team are: Cynthia
Arenas, Roberta Billups. Margaret
Coffey. Eloise Cooper. David
Foye. Odell Hannah. Beverly
Hunter. Edith Johnson. Percy
Mack. Albert McCound. Celestine
Pringle, Veronica Watts and
Gwendolyn Williams. Membership
in the Debating Society is open
to all students.

News From Tlie
Debate Team

The Savannah State College
debate team kicked off this year's
activities with a National debate
tournament at Winston-Salem,
N. C. on the weekend of October

bers. Any interested person who
wishes to become part of the
organization may contact the
President, James Price, or the

Hughes. So far, the officers have
diligently performed their duties.
They ail know that leadership is a
tedious job, but the officers have
put forth all their efforts to make
this a successful term. For the
first time Mrs. Doris R. Taylor is
experiencing the leadership of di-
rector of Lester Hall.

Homecoming was an exciting
event. The preparation of Lester
Hall's float was a tedious task.
Unfortunately the joy of winning
did not fall their way.

Thanksgiving is right around
the corner. The girls of Lester Hall
are thrilled with this holiday ap-
proaching- They are extending
their thanks to their dormitory di-
rector, Mrs. Taylor, the members
of Lester Hall, and to Savannah

By Tony Byrd
This fall term there are approxi-
mately 680 new crabs swimming
in the college by the sea, Savan-
nah State College, Under the di-
rection of Dr. Prince Jackson and
Miss Albertha Boston, the fresh-
men of this year are planning a
cultural and educational ex-
plosion. In the words of the Isley
Brothers' trio, "we are going to
do our thing."

The leaders of the Freshman
Class are: President, George
Washington, Jr.; Vice President,
Lee Greene; Secretary, Essie
Stewart; Assistant Secretary,
Denise Keith; Treasurer, Lily
Kirkland; Parliamentarian,
Rudolph Christan; Chaplain,
Catherine Glowers.

The class is striving to eliminate
the conflict between dormitory
and city students. In order to func-
tion properly, this and other
situations must be nipped in the
bud.

The Freshman Class not only
determines to excel socially, but
academically as well. Look for-
ward to hear more from these
crabs who are clawing a name for
themselves in the history of SSC.

The mighty freshmen of 1969-
70 are grooving and moving
definitely up!

Biology Depart.

The library is losing books and
other material through thefts and

African Textiles
Exhibited By Textiles
And Clothing Class

By Carolyn Snecd
On Oclober 30. 1969. the one
hundred and fifty-second class in
textiles and clothing presented a
display entitled "Textile Articles
From Africa," It was presented as
a group project wliieh sought to
display African textiles in a color-
ful as welt as informative media
sight and touch. The project
coincided with the class discussion
of cotton.

The display was made possible
by Gloria Maynard who contacted
members of the African Seminar
Group. Articles were collected
from Mrs. M. Bennett, Angela
Boles and Doris Braxton. Through
their contributions a diversity of
articles were displayed. Among
ihem were bags of cowskin, ante-
lope and cheetah, a gold weight,
Afro combs of wood, fertility
dolls, spears with leather cover-
ings, carved wooden masks, a
painting of an ethnic dancing
group, cloth of wooden print, a
carved bird of cow horn, sandels
of leather, a rug and hassock of
antelope just lo name a few.

The members of the group were
dressed in African attire. Margie
Knox, Kathleen McKan, Delores
Murray, Linda Morris. Gloria
Maynard and Sonja Maynard
demonstrated the attraction the
Africans have for brilliant colors
in the clothes they modeled and
how appealing such colors are to
the eyes. The observers as well as
the teacher, Mrs. M. M. Avery,
were impressed.

This same elite group will pre-
sent the December Bazaar next
month, so mark this on your
calendars.

Speaking Out

By Harry James, 111
When we come to college, we
should expect top-notched service
from all the administrative offices
and especially the registrars office.
The men especially at SSC should
check to see if their deferment
slips for their local boards liave
been sent out. Too many freshmen
and upper classmen have been
classified 1-A because of the
neglect on the part of the secre-
taries who work in this depart-
ment in sending them off!

They aren't organized and
organization is vital for an educa-
tional inslitution of this size. We
young men can't afford to fool
around with Uncle Sam and let
them mess around with our
futures. These people should wake
up and send the information on
time lo the local boards. This is a
serious matter, and these deadlines
just have to be met.

To the registrars office, 1 can
only say you deserve the "Laugh-
In" Fickle Finger of Fate Award
again for bad service as usual.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Savannah State Collejje Bombs
Clark In Homeconiinsr Game

By Augustus Howard

Led by the passing of Henry
Singleton and the running of
Dennis Jonos and Charlie Frazier,
plus the 15 tackles of Joe Gibbs,
the streaking Savannah State
Tigers uon their third straight
game 32-16 over Clark.

Playing before a capacity
crowd, the Panthers drew first
blood on a safety, with 4:35 left
in the first quarter, the snap from
the center sailed over the punter's
head and out of the end zone for
the two points.

The Tigers' Coach Myles, seeing
that starting quarterback Johnny
Abrams couldn't put any spark
into the team, put Singleton in
and the fireworks really began.
Passing and running like a pro,
he brought the Tigers their first
score with 10:07 left in the second
quarter. Passing to Jones, the big
fullback galloped nine yards for
the Tigers" first score. The PAT
attempt was no good.

The stubborn defense held the
Panthers down, allowing tlie
Tigers to chalk up score. Joe
Gibbs, Charlie Smith and Leonard
Garrett sparked the team this
quarter.

Inspired by long passes to Jones,
Lorenzo Bennett and Terry
i^ggett. the Tigers inarched all
the way to the two yard line. From
there Jones got the cull and bull-
dozed over with 4:1{S left. Ste\e
Jones then put his talented toe to
work and kicked the e.xtra point.

Clark got on the board with a
fine touchdown pass late in this
quarter. The angry defense didn't
allow Clark another score until
late in the final quarter. Capital-
izing on a Carlton Moffett inter-
ception, the duo of Singleton to
Leggett teamed up for the most
sensational touchdown pass com-
pletion of the entire season. Im-
mediately after the interception.
Singleton threw a pass that Leggett
dived for and caught in the end
zone. He was sheer poetry in
motion. Clark protested the score,
but to no avail. All of this
happened with 0:40 seconds left
in the first half. Consistent Steve
Jones again booted the extra point
and the Tigers led 20-10 at half-
time.

The third quarter was a defen-
sive period for both teams. With

both defenses rising to the occa-
sion, the scoring threats were only
just that, threats.

Freddie Gadson, Max Parker.
Willie Reynolds, Rodney Daise
and James Dupree weren't letting
anything come by. The secondary,
one of the best in the conference,
knocked down pass after pass.
These men. Moffett. Frankie
Harper. Bill Harris and Nathaniel
"Pony" Howard are magicians in
action.

The fourth and final quarter
started out the same way, with
neither team taking advantage of
good breaks. Rodney Daise, a
Groves High graduate, read an
attempted screen pass play, inter-
cepted the ball, and ran ten yards
untouched for the touchdown. This
happened with 8:21 left in the
quarter.

Not to be outdone, Clark put a
scare into the large crowd by
scoring on a 67 yard pass play
from Andrew Vaughn to Ronald
Young with 7:28 remaining. The
PAT attempt was no good.

Both teams played great defense
for six minutes. After the Tigers
recovered a fumble. Singleton on
the very first play threw a 35-yard
strike to left end Lorenzo "Sticky
Fingers" Bennett to really wake
up the homecoming crowd and
put the game out of reach.

The score came with oidy 1:20
left in the game. The extra point
attempt was still no good. But it
didn't matter, the damage had
been done and fellow members of
Savannah State, the game had
been won. Now, how about that. If
Augustus Howard can't tell it like
it was, then you can bet that it
wasn't.

On statistics, the Tigers had 15
first downs, 133 yards rushing,
205 yards passing, and 75 yards
in penalties. Clark had 13 first
downs, 169 yards rushing. 117
yards passing, and 40 yards in
penalties.

Singleton completed 9 of 23
passes and Vaughn 7 of 19. Jones
gained 45 yards running and 51
yards receiving, Charlie Frazier
36 running and IS pass receiving.
Singleton 43, and Saxby nine.
Terry Leggett gained 62 yards
receiving and Lorenzo Bennett 74.

Joe Gibbs led both teams with
15 tackles, Charlie Smith 13, and
Andie Alston 11 to lead the team.

1969-70 SSC TRACK TEAM

'College Basketball A Tin-

iir

By Michele Lyons

Being the curious person that
I am, I asked a few of the fresh-
man basketball team members,
"How do you like college basket-
ball?"

Kclsey Stevens who is from
Springfield. Ca.. said, "College
basketball is quite different from
high school ball. There is more
defense, much more running, more
training. The thing I like the most
is that there is more team work."

Ronnie Tillman of Reidsville,
Ga. said, "Playing college basket-
ball is great, it has much better
competition and the game is
faster."

Johnny Andrews of Springfield,
Ga. says, "It's a great feeling as
well as a thrill to be able to play
with the SSC Tigers."

Andrews is only 5' 9". A>ked
if his height would hinder his
playing abilities he boasts "No,
my height is an advantage, it will
enable me to play a much better
defensive game. I am also faster
than the tall fellows."

Fred Gordon of Savannah feels
that college ball is a great experi-
ence and quite different as com-
pared to high school. He feels that
competition is stiffer, the players
are better and the game is much
faster.

With the responses that I re-
ceived from these young men it is
rather easy to see that all of them
feel that playing college ball is a
thrill, it's more competition, it's
harder and it's much more excit-
ing.

HENRY SINGLETON

RICHARD BII I \MV

Home Boys

By Augustus Howard

Savannah Slate's football team
is lucky to have three players who
are first rale players. These play-
ers are Johnny Abrams, Henry
Singleton and Richard Bellamy.
This article is concerned with
"home boys" Bellamy and Single-
ton of Conway. South Carolina.
Abrams, the Tiger punter, averag-
ing 42.6 yards per punt, is from
Marion.

Bellamy, the starting offensive
left tackle, played his high school
ball at Whittmore! He played on
the defensive team his freshman
year at SSC, but was switched to
the offensive team by new head
coach Johti Myles. Bellamy says
that for now he would rather play
on the offensive team. He says,
however, that in the years to come
he may want to switch to another
position.

Bellamy, known as *Mule.' says
that the team has gotten better
during each game and is better
overall than they were when
they started. He thinks the Tigers
have a good chance of winning the
SIAC championship, but too few
games will prevent this from
happening.

Bellamy, big. strong and
courageous, is good. When you
have started in every game at his
position on a young team, you
have to be. A rugged performer,
this South Carolinian is ready.

Henry Singleton, the starting
quarterback, is really good and
possesses pro potential. He can
throw the ball accurately for 75
yards and like his favorite quarter-
back, Frun Tarkenton. he can
"scramble."

A graduate of Whittmore also,
he quarterbacked his team to a
II-O record during his senior year.
Tlie defensive team, which
Bellamy was a member of, didn't
permit hut 32 points in those
games combined.

Singleton, who ns staled by a
female studcnl lias 'sweet eyes and
a real pretty mustache,' as his
ambition at SSC to become the
best quarterback.

After graduation, he wants to
play pro football or become a
coach in his hometown. A former
v\l!en University player, he con-
tacted former Coach Leo Richard-
son early this past spring and told
of his plans to attend SSC. He has
to rate as one of SSC's most
efficient transfer students.

Commenting on his ends, he
said thai freshman Lorenzo Ben-
nett is one of the fastest receivers
on the team, and has good hands.
He said that Bennett still has a
lot to learn, but 'he's one of ihe
best that we have.' Commeiiliiig
on junior end Terry Leggett, he
said that "he is another good re-
ceiver on the team with plenty of
experience plus he's there when
you need him.'

Collaborating on the team's
chances of finishing first in the
SIAC, he said that would depend
on the spirit and effort produced
in the final weeks of practice.

Singleton's best day came
against Lane, a team that blanked
SSC 14-0 on last season. He threw
three touchdown passes, one a 5!i
yarder to Terry Leggett, and ran
for more than 40 yards, 46 to be
exact. He accounted for 209 yards
passing and did nothing wrong.

Behind an offensive wall con-
sisting of Edward Slinson, Calvin
Laurence, Donald Wright. Kichard
Bellamy, James Denegal and
Marvin Edwards, he had plenty
of lime to do his thing, or should
I say 'things.'

Fast, agile and deceptive, SSC
lias a quarterback who is ready
right now. It makes Coach Myles
happy to know that Singleton's
only a sophomore. If this season
was good, you know what to ex-
pect during the next two.

Can We Captiu-e The SIAC?

By Essie Stewart

Last year's Basketball Season
for the Tigers of SSC was one of
frustration during the season's be-
L' inning and excitement at the
I M son's closing. A number of
M client players were lost includ-
ing Carl Crump, Jimmy Rutley,
Ezra Gatewood, and Gerald Hen-
dricks. According to Coach Leo
Richardson we have several new
freshmen who can fill the shoes
of the departed ones and make a
name for themselves.

I have asked some of the sports
minded students on SSC's campus
"Do you think the 1969-70 Tiger's
basketball team can capture the
SIAC title?"

Donnell Howell, Freshman.
Physical Education: "I think we
can capture the title. I have con-
fidence in the team and I think
each team member is going to
play to the best of his ability.
With the coaching staff the Tigers
have, there is even a greater possi-
bility of our winning the title."

Thomas Moore, Freshman. Elec-
tronics: "If I were on the team
tliey would have a better chance
of winning the title."

Brenda Coleman, Freshman,
Home Economics: "If the team
gets unified I think they will be
able to capture the title."

isreal Randall, Senior. Chem-
istry: "I think we can capture the
title with the coaching of Coach
Richardson. With Coach Richard-
son all things are possible. With
Coach Richardson coaching the
team we could capture the NCAA
if we were playing in it."

John Moore, Sophomore, Soci-
ology: "No, I do not think they
have a chance."

Danny Brackins, Junior, Social
Science: "No, because of lack of
experience and the veterans lost
last year I feel they do not have
a chance."

Ralph Underwood, Sophomore.
Business Administration: "Yes, 1
think the mighty Tiger learn can
do it, because the team has height
and agility. It is a very well-
balanced and a very together
team."

Lonnie Denton, Sophomore, In-
dustrial Arts: "After the down-
falls of last season have been recti-
fied and the returning and new
players get together I think the
Tigers can groove onward to win-
ning the title."

Willie Booker, Senior, Physical
Education: "If Michael Jordan is
playing I think the Tigers will
have a chance of winning."

Carl Hopson, Junior. Social
Science; '"Sure thing, 1 think the

Tigers Lose
To Wildcats

By Augustus Howard
Sluggish because of a two-week
layoff, the Tigers saw their three
game win streak snapped at 26-15
l.y llie Fort Valley Wildcats.

Fort Valley, only once beaten
[iliis playing in its homecoming
j:ime, got on the scoreboard first
Mil a louchdowLi run by Frank
ludding. The PAT atlcmpt was
rin good. The Tigers went ahead
with a touchdown coming on full-
hack Dermis Jones' two yard run.
Sieve Jones added the PAT.

The Wildcats, capitalizing on
big gains on the running of
Redding and Alvestcr Burnett,
scored two more louchdowns be-
fore ihc Tigers could muster
another score. The Tigers had a
chance lo go ahead before the
Wildcats' third touchdown, but
couldn't score from the one yard
line. A smart official said that
although the ball was over, the
runner's feel had to be over. Have
you ever? Well neither have I.

The Tigers did get on the score-
board again, as Charlie Frazier
scored on a Iwo-yard run. This
score was set up on a 33-yard
pass play from Henry Singleton
to Terry Leggett and two costly
penalties. The Tigers trailed at
halflimc 20-15.

The third (pnirtcr and all of the
fourlh quarter, except about two
miiiules, was all a defensive
struggle. Ncillier team scored in
ihe third period, but each was
chalking up llie first downs.

I'li'ddie Gadson, James Dupree,
Rodney Daise and Joe Gibbs kept
the <iuarlcrback in trouble, and
Charlie Smith, betler than sun-
shine on a cloudy day, Leonard
Garrett and Andre Alston stopped
only long gains. The safeties,
probably the best in the SIAC,
didn't allow any real long re-
ceptions. Carlton Moffetl, Na-
thaniel Howard. Bill Harris and
Frankie Harper played like pre-
cisiuned pros.

The Tigers were again victim-
ized by a bad call that kept them
from getting the lead. Nathaniel
Howard received a |)unt and
scampered 55 yards for an ap-
parent touchdown. The official,
having 10-10 vision, said All-
Americnn candidate Charlie Smith
clipped. Smith said that this was
the cleanest block he had ever
thrown. I agree with Charlie.

The Tiger offense failed lo make
first downs on crucial fourth
down situations and time and time
again relinquished the ball. Single-
ton was gelling the ball in their
hands 1 Robert Saxby dropped
about five) but the receivers
couldn't hold them. Loren/u Ben-
nett, however, gained 71 yards on
five receptions but that just wasn't
enough.

The Wildcats scored with about
one minute and thirty seconds left
on a run around the left side by
Barnett. This inne yard run was
set up on a crucial fourth down
pass from Edmonds to Love.
Frankie Harper had been injured
earlier and an inexperienced safety
allowed the pass to be completed.
The Tigers' last scoring threat
ended in an interception.

Dennis Jones gained 104 yards
and scored eight points to give
him 38 for the season. Johnny
Abrams averaged .54.6 yards per
punt, and Charlie Smith made 13
tackles to account for the big
Tiger highlights.

The game gave the Tigers a 3-3
record as they prepared to face
Albany State. The major reasons
for the loss, Max Parker's injury
which kept him out of the game
and the kindergarten knowledge of
the game by the college officials.

Tigers really can do it. They are
the best in the SIAC or the
NCAA."

Royee Tuggle, Sophomore. In-
dustrial Arts: "Yes, I think the
Tigers have a chance of winning
the title. The key to their winning
lies in the new Freshmen players
who are endowed with great
ability."

DRUGS AND YOU

Hv E^sit-

Recently two teen-agers in Sa-
vannah died of serum hepatitus.
Their illness came from using un-
-terile needles to shoot dope intu
iheir veins.

As a result of this incident the
I it\ of Savannah went into action
It) prevent any more incidents like
ihis from happening. One of the
leaders of this action is city
physician Dr. A. J. Heffernan one
of Savannah's most prominent
and busiest doctors. The following
is an account of an interview with
Dr. Heffernan.

The most meaningful statement
he made was "The youth of
America can and must solve the
problem of drug abuse. If they
don't, they will create a jungle
for themselves, with no path or no
Tarzan to lead them out.

It is shocking to realize that in
the last couple of years that 1.5*^(
o fevery person in high school has
had experience with drugs and for
college students, regardless of
classification the number doubles.

The attributing factors to the
rise in the use of drugs falls
heavily upon fad and fashion and
the availability of drugs through
illegal sources. Dr. Heffernan also
pointed out ignorance is another
factor. Teen-agers are brain-
washed int otaking drugs they
iuive no knowledge of. Then he

produced wto packages of a fine
^^hite grandular substance which
resembled salt. Dr. Heffernan had
received them froml wo teen-agers
wlio didn"t have any idea of what
it was: and neither did he.

Another astounding fact
brought lo light was the use of
drugs by the white and black
races. Most of the black populus
use heroin while the white populus
confine their drug taking to speed
and LSD. And it's interesting to
note these drugs mentioned above
^erve no legal purposes and are
not bonified.

There are also major and minor
narcotics found in cough syrup.
The minor narcotics found in
cough syrup is available to the
public, while the cough syrup with
major narcotics can only be ob-
tained through a doctor's prescrip-
tion. Dr. Heffernan staled at least
a pint of the cough syrup with
minor narcotics in them must be
consumed in order to obtain a

high.

Because of these events, the cit>
officials have planned three
courses of action. The first is an
extensive education on drugs be-
fore reaching high school, the
second is adequate law enforce-
ment, and the third is medical and
psychiatric rehabilitation. "

At the end of the interview Dr.
Heffernan re-emphasized, "the real
answer to drug abuse in Savan-
nah depends on the youth. They
must help themselves before they
lan receive help."

fonics are one of those rare groups
who can sing the Top Ten R and
B hits, the Top Pop hits or a
Gershwin songbook with equal
ease. The Delfonics like genuinel)
the songs they sing. These three
\oung Philadelphians, singing to-
gether for almost seven, have put
all their jjotentia! songs to take
vou into a land of love and en-
chantment. The group's first
album was a study in the art of
love and romance.

With the grouji and their
equally tolerated band, it sure will
be a night that we students should
be talking about forever. So bring
your girl for a night of love and
enchantment.

Should Blacks
Celebrate Xmas?

|-i\ U'Otyne Lewis luul
Etta Hine*
The mean of Christmas lias been
taught to our parents and many
of us as a time for giving, rejoic-
ing and being thankful. As Black
students in this Space Age wc
have failed to believe in what the
White man has taught our parents,
and this being true the following
students have voiced their opinion
about Blacks celebrating Christ-
mas.

Imogenc Pierce, .Sophomore.
Sylvania. Ga,; "We should cele-
brate the birth of Christ, after all
through him we were freed.'"

Herman Baxer. Sophomore,
Midway, Ga.: "No, because the
celebration of Christmas is a
Christian tradition and the Christ-
ian ethics were inflicted upon the
Black man in order to enslave
him; therefore in the midst of his
cultural revolution with emphasis
on Black consciousness he should
reject this tradition as being
alien. '

Clifford L, Ealey. Freshman.
Collins, Ga.: "'God is the creature
of all and there is no segregation
in heaven."

Veronica Philson. Freshman,
Savannah. Ga.: "No. because to-
day Christmas is too commercial-
ized."

Frank Hamilton, Sophomore.
Jacksonville. Fla. "Yes. because
Christ was born for all of us, re-
gardless of color; therefore we
should celebrate his birth."

Willie Hillson, Junior, Perry.
Ga. : "No. because Christmas is a
racial religious holiday and it
doesn't really benefit the Black
people in any major way"

Emma Sue Williams. Senior,
Bainbridge, Ga.: "No. Black peo-
ple should not celebrate Christ-
mas, they should work so that they
can get double time pay and be
able to celebrate the New Year.'"

Charlie Caulden, Senior, "No.
Black people should not celebrate
Christmas. Wc should try to pay
for last Christmas."

Nellie Glass. Freshman, Atlanta.
Ga. : "Yes. we should celebrate
Christmas because Christ is for
us all, not for one man. not for
one race and not for one country.
Therefore we as Black people
should celebrate Christmas."

Henr> Everson, Sophomore,
Rochelle, Ga.: "Yes. because it
was designated a long time ago
for the birth of Christ, and this is
about the only thing the Black
man can really say he plays a
major role in today's world by
serving God.

Now as they liuve approaclied a

they cry for bigger and better

are the replies of llie students of
SSC in their answers to the ques-

to understand their lives and that
they need a renaissance to rid SSC

as they arc now until an oppor-
tune moment comes by for a
change. Tell them to go about
their efforts for improvement in a
(sell organized manner; tell them
both sides of the story.

The writer of the article "\^T[iere
is the Rule." forgot to tell tlie stu-
dents where the rule really is, and
left many qut^stions unanswered.
For example, what is a good nig-
ger? Is he one who has his hair
straightened and says. "Yes sir.
Mister Charlie, No mam. Miss Su-
sie, Can 1 wipe the dust off your
shoes. Master Henry?"; and where
is tlie rule, hiding behind a grain
o fsalt in a Morton salt box? All
men, regardless of race, must make
certain concessions to the estab-
lishment. And all men, regardless
of color, have been fighting tlie
establishment in some form of
fashion for years. Tlie writer of
this article believes that blacks are
in a state of suppression, yet no
white man can he seen holding a
whip over any brother's back. Stu-
dents of SSC are to stand and fight
for this issue. Is it really an issue
to fight for? Tlie writer of ''Black
Student Protests" thinks the ad-
ministration tliinks tlie students of
SSC are not for real because they
are not letting the administration
know everything they need and
desire.

The writer of "A Word to SSC"
says the students of SSC are sup-
posed to be building black things;
however, he did say nhat they
were. He also believes tlie stu-
dents of SSC are crying for tlieir
identity.

According to the writer of "Ren-
aissance at SSC," tliere are des-
potic medieval rulers on the cam-
pus. (They are instructors. ) And
beware instructors whom the ar-
ticle concerns because the students
of SSC are supposed to want your
blood. The writer should be fully
aware of the accusations made in
reference to certain instructors be-
cause they will remain so until
they can be proven fact. One won-
ders if the writer of this article
has based his opinions on facts or
on evidence.

From the "SGA Report" die
students of SSC learned diat the
writers of the articles have been
introduced to a dictionary (Funk
and Wagnallsl and that some of
them can compose fair paragraphs.

MANY BLACKS ARE BRAINWASHED

By Harry B. James. HI

looked down on and degraded.
Consequently, this young black
child has an inferiority complex
at an early age.

Realistically speaking, another
example to support my hypothesis
concerns our young black girls,
who were forced to buy and play
with white dolls because toy in-
dustries wouldn't dare make a
black doll. This also helped to
glorify the white society by in-
stilling in our youth the false
premise that white is right.

On such holidays as the Fourth
of July, we as blacks have no busi-
ness celebrating. We blacks didn't
win our independence on the
fourth of any month or year:
we're still struggling for accept-
ance of equality in a white suprem-
ist society. It was brought to my
attention in a particular class al
SSC tliat a soul sister made llie
illiterate statement that other races
are smarter than blacks. U any
other so called college students
feel this way, they sliouldn't waste
their time or money at a progres-
sive institution. We as blacks
should actively support such or-
ganizations as tlie SCLC, NAACP.
and BACC and realize that we are
Afro-Americans with a proud past,
respectful present, and an uncon-
querable future.

liefore I can delve deeper into
my subject, first, I must explain
to the soul brothers and sisters llie
connotation of the word brain-
washed. Brainwashing is the act
of indoctrinating so intensively
and thoroughly as to effect a radi-
cal transformation of beliefs. Tiie
white man has over the past 200
years waged one of tiie most suc-
cessful cam]aigns of brainwashing
against the blacks in so effective
a manner that we are still suffer-
ing today in a total state of ignor-
ance. The campaign started be-
cause by some foolish reason the
whites considered themselves bet-
ter than we. If we accept the white
man's meanings of revelant to
black and white colors, some of
us will never overcome our seem-
ingly inferior status. The color
black as cleverly plotted by tlie
white society relates to death, dirt,
moral corruption, indecency, ob-
scenity and just about every other
thing that's unfit for one to con-
sider conversely ; white, however,
relates to innocence, purity, free-
dom from evil intent, beauty and
every other thing that is the oppo-
site of our color, black, to compli-
ment his all precious color. In this
case, the white man can effectively
instill into the minds of the young
Afro-Ainericans at an early age.
that his color is sometliing to be

A History of
Christinas

Christmas is the festival cele-
brating the birth of Christ. In
most countries it is observed on
December 25Ui. Christmas is
sometimes called "Yule" or
"Noel." Christian churches
throughout die world hold special
thanks for the birth of Christ. In
addition lo religious obser\'ance,
Christmas is a time of merrymak-
ing and feasting. Whereas Christ-
mas is celebrated, there is a spirit
of kindness and giving.

Christmas on December 25tli is
first known to have been cele-
brated in Rome in tlie second
quarter of ihe 4th century . when it
commemorated the birth of Christ.
There was as yet no Eiphany. In
llie course of the -1th century the
celebration on December 25th was
adopted in the east and became the
day when the birth was commemo-
rated.

Christmas customs in the United
States are a combination of tliose
of the various European countries
from which the original settlers
came. Many of tlie festivities cen-
ter in the home.

Bright decorations add cheer to
the atmosphere of hospitality.

Since SSC is now engaged in
swimming, a sport which is rela-
tively new. that is new to the
majority of SSC students. I
decided to compile a few of th<^
rules of swimming. This is so that
you can understand what's happen-
ing and refrane from being so
critical of a group of brothers who
are putting forth a tremendous
fffort.

Thf order of swimming meels
fi)r intercollegiate events goes as
follows: 400-yard Medley Relay,
which is an event in which four
contestants on each team, each to
swim one-fourth of the distance
continuously as follows: first the
backstroke: second, breasestroke:
third, butterfly; and fourth, free-
style. In the last one-fourth of
the medley relay, the term free-
tsyle refers to any style other than
butterfly, backstroke, or breast-
stroke. 1000-yard Freestyle, in
this event any style or combina-
tion of styles may be used, a hand
touch is not required, however,
some part of the body must touch
on each turn. ( In our pool the
1000-yard freestyle is 40 laps of
the pool.) The 200-yard Freestyle,
which is the same as the above
only the distance is shorter. The
50-yard Freestyle, even shorter
than the 200, only four laps of
our pool. The 200-yard Individual
Medley, this event is a short ver-
sion of the 400-yard Medley, only
one person does the entire event.
One-meter Diving, at this time all
contestants execute five dives,
never repeating one and are
scored by the judges in points
from 10 to 0. 10-8 is an excellent

tory while is a complete failure.
When judging a dive only the dive
i sto be considered without regard
to the approach lo the starting
position. The points lo be con-
sidered are the forward approach,
the take-off: the techniques and
grace of the dive during the
passage through the air and the
enlrv into the water. The 200-yard
Bulterlv. an event in which both
aims must be brought forward
together over the water and
brought backward simultaneously
and systematically. 100-yard Free-
style, same as the other freestyles
only the distance differs. 200-yard
Backstroke, the contestant pushes
off on his back and swims the
entire event on his back. 500-yard
Freestyle, same as the above free-
styles. 200-yard Breast&lroke. An
event in which contestants swim
on the surface, following the take-
off and each turn one arm-pull
and one-leg kick may he taken
underwater: but some portion of
the swimmer's head must break
the surface of the water before
another stroke is taken. Three-
meter Dive is the executing of
the dives fro mlhe three-meter
board which i sthe highest board
al our pool. Finally the 400-yard
Freestyle Relay, in this event four
swimmers swim one-fourth of the
prescribed race doing any style
he wishes.

It is very important that during
Ihe Diving competition that the
spectators remain absolutely quiet
since executing a dive takes a
great deal of concentrating, plus
it's plain old courtesy.

Your Day Has Finally Come

B\ E;-sie M, Stewart

And as the new sun rises, I rise
too.

Same black body in the same de-
plorable condition.

Ready lo face anodier day With
body and soul not willing.

But I've got lo do it.

It's the only way I'll survive in
this ivhite man's world.

But I remember the voice of my
ancestors saying

"Oh Lord set my people free"

Hut freedom has not come

So I go on and work.

Just think of all the many tilings
I could do

Of all the many places I could go

Of all the many people who would
respect me

If I didn't have this black skin

But the old wise and learned say,

"Black youth it just doesn't come
that way.

For eveiything you want in this
'dog eat dog' world

You've got to labor and toil until
received.

You've got to have the determina-
tion

And the will to succeed.

Otherwise you just won't get any-
where,"

The wise go on lo say. "Tlie (vhite
man

Has his troubles too."
And your conscience would be
guilty too

If you had kept a race of people

from progressing
\S ilh no com|>ensation With mo
education.

Alas you cry for freedom! Free-
dom now !

Ves, tiiat's what you want.

But to you it's just award

And you don't know what it
means.

But don't woriy, Black youth

Your day will come.

All you have to do is keep the
faith.

And that white man you hate

Hate him no more.

Look witliin your heart for the
seeds of love.

Plant lliem and let them grow

Into a love that is pure and sin-
cere; unblemished by fears

Then from your mouth let it ring
loud and clear

"I love my fellow man regardless
of his race."

Tlien strive to make this old world
a better place

To live in for you and your pos-
terity.

Tlien when you rise to greet the
morning sun

Without the chains of hatred bind-
ing your soul

\ou will have new sight.

For Black youth you have been
blind too long.

And this world will be a beautiful
world

It won"t be a Black man's world.

It won't be a White man's world.

It will be a world where brotliers
are united in peace

A world where brothers are united
in love

Reach for it Black youth:

Now is the time

\o\iT day has finally come!

Christmas

I look over this gay festive season,
Without a just cause or reason.
I'm just sitting thinking about this

human race.
This world is such a horrible

place
We drink every Christmas
To forget the horrors of this

world.
\Ve drink until our heads betjin to

whirl.
Forgetting the fellow in the

slums
Forgetting the sti'eet corner bums.
And after reaching a good high.
With a straight face we begin to

lie.
Saying "Peace on Earth
And Good Will lo All Men."

Gone

By Billy Curry
I know but one Love
1 saw her yesterday:
Only moments before
She went away.

1 love her even more than before
Twice as much as years ago.
My love and I Love strictly from

the Heart.
Thus, we are together even though

we are apart.
And now that the emptiness has

begun.
"We are two, our Love is one."
My Heart and I are never alone.
For we are where my Love has

gone.

Congratulations to

SPEAKING OF THE MOON

By Bernard
WOio hasn't been doing that, of
late? And thinking, too, of the
inevitable changes which lie ahead
in the not too distant future if
eartlilings take over, move in and
settle down in some unmoonly
way. Consider, certain obvious
changes in semantics which might
be involved.

A honeyearth, for e.\ample,
would probably designate that
period enjoyed by newly-married
inhabitants of the moon.

Luna-tic might well describe tlie
sounds emanating from a clock
manufactured on the moon.

Geo-tic might well describe an
insane person or wildly foolish
person on tlie moon.

Earth Mullins miglit be the
name of an unusual character in
a namusing comic strip.

L. Wooilhouse

A j Sited lover on the moon
might be an eartliling describing
the fair one lie has loved and lost.

"Blue Eiulh," "Enrlh Glow,"
and "Shine on, Harvest Earth"
would probably retain their [lopu-
larity luid ASCAP would srill .oi-
led (lie royalties for lluir u^-c in
public. dcs()ite the adaplatiou lo
an entirely new environment.

Farlhlighting would Ik- tlir
name applied when a niiHinman
or a mounuuiid took nu n [i;ul.
time job to bolster the fjimilv

Perhaps there arc more. In llie

IF I TURN BACK, KILL ME

By Ronald Clark
Brothers and Sisters, it does my

mind good to be able to speak to
you the student body on some of
the pertinent issues of Savannah
State College. However, before 1
venture on those issues, I must
first apologize for accusing some
members of the faculty of stealing
from the State Board of Educa-
tion, because they are not, they
are stealing from the Board of Re-
gents.

It really distuibs me greatly to
see the majority of the student
body mistreated and ill informed.
For instance, let us take the ques-
tion of grades, one of the most
talked about topics on campus by
faculty and students. We are so
busy pusliing for so many irrele-
vant things (dancing, card play-
ing, making love late at night,
etc. ) that llie persons that handle
oar grading procedures are hav-
ing us pay for and take subjects
that don't count toward gradua-
tion. Tlie remedial courses of Eng-
lish (99) and Math (99) are taken
by quite a few persons on SSC

campus bul ihey do not count
toward one hour of graduation.
When are you people going to
wake U|) lo what is hajipening! ! !
Pul your mind to this. SOME of
you have failed courses and have
repeated them and to your aina/c-
menl are still deficient in your
cumulative average, and this
should not be so because if you
take a course over and pas.s the
course it should be taken off of
your record and not tabulated into
your cumulative average. Bul il
is. and most of you wonder why
il is taking you so long lu grad-
uate.

As of yet just a chosen few have
come to me with any academic
complaints. I don't have the an-
sews lo all of the problems but
together as a group, we have more
power than you think; ihc prob-
lem is no one ts thinking construc-
tively. We must slop waiting for
someone else lo solve our prob-
lems. firolhcTs and sislcrs. gel off
of your knees and cure some of
the illnesses ihttl are rripplinfi us
and this college.

"If I (tf/vrinee. follow me- if I
stand slill, push me: if I turn
hack, kill me."

THE NAACP COMES ALIVE

Progress: Every year it takes
less time and more money to get
where you're going.

By Omie

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People or
the NAACP, is an interracial, in-
terfaith, nonpartisan, social organ-
ization. It was organized In 1909
for the purpose of eliminating ra-
cial discrimination and segrega-
tion against Negroes and other
minority groups, and to secure
first class citizenship status for
Negroes. It is one of the oldest
and most effective civil rights or-
ganizations in the United States.

The main objectives of the
NAACP youth program may be
broadly defined as: Civil Rights
Action; Community Education:
Citizenship Training; and Leader-
ship Development.

One of the most serious prob-
lems facing America today is Ra-
cial Discrimination. This means
racial discrimination is our prob-
lem, too.

It doesn't matter whether you
are Negro or white, you are

radley

equally touched by the misery, hu-
miliation and waste that inflict.
And even if you are not hurt per-
sonally by discrimination in edu-
cation, housing and in your social
life, you will pay the price for
living in a racially jjrejudiced
society.

Tlie NAACP looks forward to
the day when there shall be no
need for such an organization.
That day will come when there is
no longer any racial discrimina-
tion anywhere in our country. Tliis
is the goal of the NAACP and in
working towards this objective the
Association is working for self-
liquidation. The NAACP believes
that this is an attainable goal and
is dedicated to reaching it.

The Savannah State College
Branch of the NAACP is looking
for new members. If you are in-
terested, contact Mr. B. Wood-
house.

Hy Marry B. Juincs, III

I'.dward K c n n e tl y Ellington,
known Uy countless millions as
Duke ICIIinglon, wlio is a United
Slalf.i louiposer, pianist, and band
leader, n-cently was awarded a
diflingui^iu'd honor no niher black
Ameiican has ever dreiniied of it-
ceiving.

Piesidenl Nixon inviled the
"Duke." as he is affectionately
known lo all to the While House
lo be honored on April 2'J, 19G9.
It was designed lo celebrate his
achievi'inenls, making the first
lime an American of African de-
iceni has liem so houoi'cd. It was
a I'le.-ident's gift to liim on lii^
Tilth liirtliday and tliu.'^. a luilion's
Iribule. with the Presiileiit even
playing happy birthday on the
piano in honor of the Duke.

Il was ironic that a half century
before. Ellington's father, a Navy
blueprint maker, had worked part-
time as a butler at state affairs.
President Nixon acknowledged liis
one-hundredth day in office by
giving the "Duke" a birthday
parly and made his first presenta-
tion of ihe Presidential Medal of
Freedom, the country's highest
civilian honor.

Ellington, in being so honored,
was a significant force for |)eople
realizing both races contribute to
he American way of life. Through-
out four decades he has been re-
s|)onsible for publishing the slave
songs, the blues and the black best
along with Louis Armstrong,

In 1965 the Pulilzer Prize ad-
visory committee on music unani-
mously voted that a special award
fhould go Lo Ellington for his
long-term achievements or else no
prize at all be given for that year.
Columbia University, which con-
trols the prize, refused lo accept
this recommendation.

Two members of the committee
resigned in protest. As a result,
Duke was denied the prize, Duke
responded when he learned ihis by
saying, "Fate is being kind to me.
Fate doe- n"l want me to be too
famous loo young. Up till today
"Duke" has composed 2,000 coin-
|)ositions. a level equaled by few
composers in history. With people
like Duke Ellington how can
blacks say we aren't a proud cul-
ture?

By Ruby Williams

The Savannah State College
Nursery School is a place where
vouiifi children learn as they play
isith materials and share experi-
ences with other children and with
teachers. It is also a place where
.idulLs ran learn as they observe
rliildren and participate with
them. It is a laboratory for the
stud) of human relations.

Tlie Savannah State College

tii-s are: easel, eye drop, finger,
moss, potato, spatter, sponge,
straw, and string painting. Crayon
expression, chalk, claymodeling,
cutting with scissors are a few of
dieir finger exercises. Tliese stu-
dents are also developing language
skills, increasing their vocabulary,
improving health habit, and ob-
serving safety rules.

To say a little about the field
trip on November 14, 1969. Tlie
Savannah State College Nurserv
visited the Savannah Science Mu-
seum, first looking at a movie,
"llie Planets and Stars." After-
wards, observing the dif f eren t
fishes, rocks, sea shells, and plants.
They then observed how the Indi-
ans make baskets, pottery, canoes,
and diamonds. The trip was very
interesting.

On November 26. 1969 the Sa-
vannah State College Nursery in-
vited their parents over to have
Thanksgiving dinner with them.
This lielped to complete their day.
Mrs. Bertha R. Rhetts, Nursery
School assistant and dietitian, pre-
pared all the meals and snacks.

in luterview with Dr. Heffernan

DRUGS ON THE LOOSE

lieceiillv, two teenagers in Sa-
vannah died of serum hepatitis.
This illness came from the using
of unstcrile needles to shoot dope
into their veins.

As a result of this incident the
lity of Savannah went into action
lo prevent any more incidents like
ibis from happening. One of the
leaders of this action is city physi-
cian Dr. A. J. Heffernan. one of
Savannah's most prominent and
busiest doctors. The following is
an account of an interview with
Dr. Heffernan.

The most meaningful statement
lie made was "Tlie youth of Amer-
ica can and must solve the prob-
lem o fdrug abuse. If they don't,
they will create a jungle for them-
selves, with no path or no Tarzan
to lead them out."

It is shocking to realize that in
the last couple of years that \h%
of the students in high school have
had experience with drugs and for
.olle;ie students, regardl.-s of clas-

sification, the immbers double.

The attributing factors to the
rise in the use of drugs falls heav-
ily upon fad and fashion and the
availabilit)- of drugs through ille-
gal sources. Dr. Heffernan also
pointed out ignorance is anotlier
factor. Teenagers are brainwashed
into taking druj^s they have no
knowledge of. Then he produced
two packages nf a fine white gran-
ular substance which resembled
salt. Dr. Heffernan had received
them from two teenagers who
didn't have any idea of what it
was: and neither did he.

Another astounding fact
brought to light was the use of
drugs b\ the white and black
races. Most of the black populace
use heroin whWe the white popu-
lace confine their drug taking to
speed and LSD. And it's interest-
ing lo note these drugs mentioned
above serve no legal purposes and
are not bona fide.

1 IGEKS CAPTURE 4tli IN G.I.T.

By Harry B. James. Ill

The Tigers, coming on strong
in Atlanta in the Georgia Invita-
tional Basketball Tournament, cap-
tured 4lli place behind outstanding
playing and shooting.

Savannah State College Tigers,
encounlering Clark College in iJie
first round of the tournament, put
on a superior performance, but fell
short despite a great shooting per-
centage from the floor. 102 to 91.
Although the Tigers shot 57 per-
cent from the field against Clark's
-iS percent, Savannah State had
more turnovers, 20-15. enabling
Clark to capitalize on the Tigers'
mistakes. At one point the mistake
ridden Tigers were behind by 15
points. Outstanding for Clark was
Tony Floyd, who sizzled the nets
for 46 points. Outstanding for the
Tigers were high point man and
top rebounder Vincent White witli
37 caroms and 21 rebounds; Mi-
chael Jordan ivitli 22 points and
19 rebounds; and Kelsey Stevens,
the |)romising freshman, with 17
points.

After losing the first game, the
Tigers were matched against Fort
Valley State in the consolation
game. The Tigers, more deter-
mined than ever to bring back a
piece of the bacon, defeated Fort
Valley (107-98) in a hard fought
game witli Vincent WTiite fouling
out in the final period.

The Tigers jumped off to a
quick seven point lead with Mi-
chael J ordon pouring on six of
the seven.

Tlie Tigers were coasting along
fine until the third period when
White went out with his fourdi
foul. With White out, the Fort

Tigers' Debut
Sniashing

By Janice Bryant
Savannah State College's Tigers
basketball team made its debut on
December 1. 1969 in their gym
and showed the spectators that this
will be far from a dull season.
Tlie magnificent playing ability of
j unior Vincent White, freshman
Kelsey Stevens, junior Mike Jor-
dan, junior Robert King, and
freshman Ronnie Tillman proveil
to be too much for the team from
Benedict College. The Tigers took
the game with a score of 101-98.

The outcome of the scoring
could have been much higher if
not for the numerous mistakes
made by the Tigers. However, this
can be chalked up to opening
night jitters that did make for a
very exciting game. The opening
minutes proved to be a time of
fair exchange with Benedict and
SSC exchanging basket for basket.
By the end of tiie first half Bene-
dict had taken a very comfortable
lead. 61-54.

Things started to happen in the
'econd half and the Tigers began
to do their stuff. The combined
efforts of White and Jordan on
the backboards and the expert
V booting of Stevens and Tillman

Valley Cagers were able to tie the
score at 76.

White, returning into the game,
got SSC back once more, 91-84,
but tlien committed his final foul,
and Savannah's last year's high
school scoring leader Frankie Har-
per took over, playing in the last
three and one-half minutes and
scored a sensational 15 points in
that small amount of time. Scor-
ing in double figures for SSC were
Harper with 15 points, Andrews
10, Jordan 31, \S1iile 23.

By winning the consolation
game, the Tigers advanced upward
to battle for fourth place honors
against Alabama State College,
whose band gave an excellent half-
time performance at iJie game be-
tween the Atlanta Falcons against
the New Orleans Saints. Sunday.
December 7.

Tlie Tigers and Alabama were
evenly matched up until the end
of the half with Savannah Stale
taking a commanding lead into the
locker room, 63-15. In the second
half. SSC was off on offense and
weak on defense as usual, enabling
the ASC to take a 114-113 lead.
Tlie Tigers within the final 51
seconds rose to the occasion with
a field goal and four free throws.
ASC, coming on strong in the final
seconds in desperation, was
stopped short when SSC's Ronnie
Tillman intercepted a pass to ice
the game. Final score; SSC 119.
ASC 118. Total points in the 3
game series were: Jordan 90
points, White 76, Stevens 51, Till-
man 33, Harper 15 points for one
game. Hill 2 points for 1 game,
Ahrams 8 points. Andrews 19, and
King 13.

SSC Ducked
Again, 99-10

By Michele Lyons
With experience, good swim-
mers and excellent coaching, South
Carolina State showed Savannah
Stale lion' a swimming meet should
be won. S. C. Slate literally
drowned SSC by a score of 99 to
10. S. C. State refused to allow
SSC to score first in any event as
Tuskegee had previously done.

The diving competition ap-
peared to have been the highlight
of the meet with all four competi-
tors executing beautiful dives.
Even though all of the dives were
beautiful, S. C, State's seemed to
have been a tiny bit better than
SSC. S. C. State took first and
second place, while SSC took third
and fourth. SSCs divers were:
George Broughton and Arthur
Edwards.

proved too much for Benedict.
Stevens tied the game up for Sa-
vannah State with 10 seconds left
when he connected on a foul shot.
Benedict couldn't come through
and finislied u'ith 98 points.

White was high scorer for the
game ivith 24 points, followed by
Stevens with 23, Jordan added 19

Tigers Swamp
Clafliu College

By Harry James. Ill

The Tigers, back from a suc-
cessful road trip, met Claflin Col-
lege in Wiley Willcox gymnasium
and manhandled them in the man-
ner of professionals to take a
106-98 victory.

The game wasn't as close as the
score suggests. At half-time the
Tigers had a 22 point lead, 66-^14.
In the second half Claflin College
was determined to overtake the
Tigers and made an alt out effort
but with die consistent play of
SSC the Carolinians were never
leally in the game until the last
couple of minutes.

The State Cagers. pivoted by
Frankie Harper, toyed with Claf-
lin College in the last quarter
which forced Claflin to nuike mis-
takes that enabled tlie Tigers to
score several easy baskets.

Outstanding on defense was
Vincent White, who slapped away
five baskets in succession, much
to the delight of the crowd who
came in s|)ile of the bad weather,

Claflin College went the ivhole
game with their first five, while
SSC used eleven players. High
point man of the game was Sam
Washington of Claflin with 36
])oint5.

Jaudon had 29 points, White 25,
King 14, Stevens 12. Harper 6.
Andrews 4, and Kelly 8 for the
strong and victorious Tigers,

SPIRIT HELPS
THE GAME

By Harry jam.--. Ill
At the first basketball game
against Benedict College there was
a lacking of team spirit and hustle
on and off the court by the fans
as well as the players. The fans
must be behind the Tigers 100 per
cent for them to put forth an out-
standing effort. Tlie team needs
the spirit and encouragement of
the crowd to cheer them on to
victory not only when things are
going good but more so when the
Tigers are behind. Tlie Tigers
have 10 games at home and, re-
member, the sports department
along with the entire student body
is'ill be there cheering you on.

Drugs on the Loose

(Continued Irom Page 4)

There are also major and minor
narcotics found in cough syrup.
The minor narcotics found in
cough syru|) are available to the
public, while the cough syrup with
major narcotics can only be ob-
tained through a doctor's prescrip-
tion. Or. Heffernan stated at least
a pint of the cough syrup with
minor narcotics in them must be
consumed in order to obtain a
high.

Because of these events, the city
officials have planned three
courses of action. The first is an
extensive education on drugs be-
fore reaching high school, the sec-
ond is adequate law enforcement,
and the third is medical and psy-
chiatric rehabilitation.

At the end of the interview Dr.
Heffernan re-emphasized, "the real
answer to drug abuse in Savannah
depends on the youth. They must
help themselves before they can
ipreive hflp.

SAVANNAH STATE SUFFERS FIRST
LOSS TO TUSKEGEE, 61 TO 11

By Michele Lyons
SSC participated in its first col-
legiate swimming meet Saturday,
December 6. 1969 against Tuske-
gee State College. For Savnnnah
State it was an unfortunate "first"
because thai "first" defeat was
also suffered. The score was &I
to U.

LOOK OUI, OPPONENTS

By Janice Biyant
Savannah State is a relatively
young team tins year, being com-
prised mostly of freshmen. How-
ever, they have proven themselves
to be a determined team by al-
ready averaging l(H.,S pninLs per
game.

Tliis is due mostly to the superb
playing ability of several members
of the team in particular. Tliey
are Mike Jordan, Vincent White.
Kelsey Stevens and Ronnie Till-
man. These four members of the
mighty Tiger team have proven
themselves to be indisjiensable to
the team by becoming outstanding
in one phase or another of the
game.

Mike J ordon, a junior, has
proven to be the Tigers' strongest
point scorer. He averages 26.7
points per game and 21 rebounds
]jer game. He has hit .777 from
the free throw line and is an all
around basketball player.

Vinccnl While, also a junior, is
averaging 25.2 per game and 23.7
rebounds. White had an outstand-
ing night in the game against
Claflin College when he success-
fully stopped five consecutive bas-
kets and numerous others on dif-
ferent occasions. Wlirn it comes
to offensive and defensive hati-
dling. White controls both boards.
While was named to the All-GIT
team in the recent tournament in
Atlanta.

One half of the freshman duet is
Kelsey Stevens. He averages 20.'I'
point sper game and is stupendous
from the field where he averages
.683. Stevens had his biggest night
during the GIT tournament when
he shot 35 points in one game.

Ronnie Tillman makes up the
other half of the freshman terrif-
ies. Although he isn't high in
points scored, he has [>roven that
he will definitely be a big help to
the Tigers in his remaining years
at SSC.

PRESIDENT JORDAN GREETS STDDENT BODY

PRESIDENT JORDAN

We sincerely hope and pray that as we enter this new year and
this new decade that the entire Savannah State Colieye family will
enjoy {^ond health, happiness, suecess and prosperity.

The decade of the sixties brought many advancements and achieve-
ments whieh staggered man's imagination new discoveries in medicine
to alleviate pain, suffering and anxiety; almost unbelievable innova-
tions in the field of electronics and fantastic new uses of light and
sound. These were all in addition to the breathtaking experience of
watching from our homes, a man walk on the moon.

Surely, the decade that we enter now will bring more amazing
achievements. As we at Savannah State College enter this decade, we
must enter with an urgent sense of responsibility towards keeping our
college abreast of the times. This will require of all of us more active
interest in the affairs of the college, more personal involvement in the
works and the activities of the college and a renewed dedication to those
ideals and those principles to which our college is committed. 1 refer
mainly to our collegiate commitment to achieve academic excellence.
We must all feel a sense of responsibility to excel in our chosen fields,
to render outstanding and valuable service to our community and to
our society, and finally, to recognize our obligation to God and to make
an honest effort to live by high principles and standards.

In the eightieth year of our existence. Savannah State College is
confronted with the imperatives of a new era. What we begin and do
this year will be done not only on behalf of this generation, but also
on behalf of those generations )et unborn. Our work in the college
in these years ahead must be devoted to the problems of the people in
order to provide leadership for both our people and our country. We
shall seek and find creative and imaginative ways to bring solutions
to the problems of the ghetto, tlie problems of human relations, the
problems of educatiouiil disadvantage, the problems of economic in-
sufficiency and the problems related to overcoming the lack of knowl-
edge, understanding and appreciation of bl.nk people ihrougbout the
world.

I am firmly convinced that if all of us here at the college ivork
together with the spirit of mutual trust and confidence, we can then
build here at Savannah State College a monument to man's ability to
serve that which is good, that which is noble and that which is true.

WE WELCOME ALL OF VOL INTO THE DECADE OF THE
FANTASTIC SEVENTIES.

Sincerely,

HOWARD JORDAN, JR.,
President

Can You Dig It?

It has come to the attention of
the SIAAS, Seminar In Afro-
American Studies, that the stu-
dents are confused as to what the
SIAAS organization is and what
it is all about.

The SIAAS is not a part of
BACC or any other organization.
The organization was formed by
six students and Mr. McAfee dur-
ing the fall quarter of 1U68. The
objectives are to learn as much as
possible about Africa. First, any
student enrolled in SSC can be-
come a member of the organiza-
-, tion. Second, the development of
i>osilive self-identification through
the study of the roots of Afro-
American culture is stressed.

These objectives are being ful-
filled by the organization's presen-
tation of a series of films and lec-
tures. The lecturers are natives of

Africa or persons who have taught
in the country. Books purchased
by the organization can be found
on the second floor of the library.
The Seminar In AMrn-American
Studies of 1^70 will meet Wednes-
day, January 28, 1970, at six
o'clock in Payne, room 105. Mrs.
Julia Bennett is the faculty direc-
tor and Miss Roslyn A. Allen, stu-
dent director.

They Didn^i Come

On the 15th of December the
Dean of Students received a long
distance phone call from the Na-
tional Entertainment Association
stating that the Delfonics (one of
the Delfonics) luul the flu. Now
you know and I know they had tlic
flu like I have leprosy. On my
trip to New Jersey for the "Winter
Break" I slopped in D.C. and some
of my friends told me that they
were in D. C. at a conci-rt filling
in for Marvin Gaye on the 17lh
of December. Upon reaching New
Jersey I heard on tlie radio that
the Delfonics were appearing in
Harlem on the Ifllh of December.
It seems that tliey recovered from
the flu very fast. We know what
happened, they received more
money to sing some other place,
and they did. Even though we re-
ceived the down payment back
(Sl.OlIO) thi.s is another lesson on
how wliile peojile try to Irick
Blacks. In the first jilace there are
very few Black booking agencies
and then there is no guarantee
that the Brothers will not net in
the same way that the Whites do,
as the saying goes "people sure
act strange when they get a little
change."

This article Is not ajiologizing
for I he non-appearance of the
Delfonics hut an explatiation of
llie mcchaniis involved in getting
erilerlainment oti campus. The
money that was not used will go
toward havitig a musical affair,
having about five or ten bainis or
some other known group. I am
hoping that in the future all artists
will ap[iear, but 1 can only
promise you thai they will be
paid if they come. I can't jiromisc
you they will come. Thank you
Ronald Clark. President. S.G.A.

STUDENT TEACHERS SPEAK
TO THE STUDENT BODY

By Margaret L, Powel

Harold L. Ector is a distin-
guished member of Alpha Kappa
Mu, National Honor Society, will
he listed in Who's Who in Ameri-
can Universities and Colleges
(1969-1970), and is President of
the Debating Society and the So-
cial Science Club, He also visited
Africa this past summer.

Mrs. Margaret L. Powell and
Miss Young conclude the list of
scholars. Mrs. Powell is the ener-
getic mother of three. Army wife,
and Alpha Ka|)|)a Mu Aspirant.
Miss Young is also an aspirant to
Alpha Kappa Mu in addition to
her previous list of organizations.

Ambitious William J. Benyard
holds the rank of detective on the
Savannah Police force, and is one
of the two Black policemen in the
city qualified to give the Intoxo-
nieter Alcoholic Test.

Amiable Joyce Perry, who re->
cenlly became Mrs. Carey Adams,
and Doris Carswell are members
of the Newtonian Society (the
math club I . Gloria Carswell is
also the Vice President of Lockelt
Hall. Both are on the Tiger year
hook staff.

Involved in other extracurricu-
lar activities are Cynthia Ander-
son, a member of the Choral So-
ciety; Edward Stinson. who
pla)ed his last quarter of football
for Savannah Stale and received a
trojjby for meritorious service;
and Carolyn Mosley, a member of
the Physical Education Club.

Carolyn David has not been the
only >oung lady lo strike a
(Queenly impression during home-

and Harold L. Ector

coming festivities: Ann Hayes has
reigned as an organization's
Queen for three of her years here:
Miss Camilla Hubert Hall (1966-
1967), Miss Sophomore (1967-
1968), and Miss Peacock Hall
(1968-1969). Miss Jaequelyn
Wyatt was elected by her class as
Freshman attendant lo Miss Sa-
vannah Slate (1966-1967).

There are three others of the
student teacher group who deserve
recognition as being very consci-
entious: They did not lose sight of
their goal and are looking forward
lo the day when they will begin
to work for their Master's degree.
They are Annie N. Williams, Ma-
mie Ashman, and William S. Rob-
erts.

As you can see, our exjjeriences
as undergraduates have been va-
ried. We have dedicated ourselves
to our major areas, participated in
many rewarding activities, pur-
s u e d our individual interests,
broadened our knowledge through
travel. compCled to reach scholarly
heights, sought out mates, and for-
mulated plans for the future.

This is what college has meant
to us. One day you will be at this
point, and |)erhaps your experi-
ences will parallel, or hopefully
surpass, ours.

We the members of the classes
of Education 4-U and 'U6 believe
that there will be many clialleng-
ing experiences lying ahead in our
student - teacher internship. We
shall endeavor lo put into practice
the wise counsel and instruction
that we have aspired to master.

Believe me, if we liave anything to do with it. we are going lo give to
our children what was merely promi.sed to us. life, liberty and the

will be able to look at tomorrow with a clear conscience and smiles
' on our faces.

Believe me. we have reasons for our protests. We will nol stop
until we gain the privileges and riglits due us. For life without love
for each other is a life for a miser. Before we turn to misers, some
may go t(Mhe extreme like those you read about in the pa|)er, "leenagcr
kills six in his own family and takes own life, after saying he wanted
them to have ihe lite of peace and rest they never got."

To slop this way of rebellious aniidoles we need to be given the
chanee we deserve. We will then be able to rea|) what we tow. For
the way it stands now, we reap what you sow. If you can nol lead the
way. we will ask, "Forgive them Father, for they know not what
they do."

Wake Up,
Brolhers!

By Augustus Howard

In ihis day and age, you may
ihink that the "shoot a nigger"
days are over, but if yim do.
Brothers and Sisters, you're
definitely wrong.

H you have been following the
actions of the Black Panthers,
then you know exactly what Fm
talking about. Take the cases of
Fred Hampton and Mark Clark.

These two Brothers were shot
and killed by members of the
Chicago Police while they were
asleep. The 'Pigs' said that they
were raiding Panther headi|Uar-
leis. Whoever lieard of raiding a
ipjiet building at 4 a.m.? The
bad thing is that ihese 'Pigs' are
still free to go about shooting
UKMC Brothers.

What ! don't understand is why
the FBI and the police bother
only the Panthers. The John Birch
Sociely. While Hals, and espe-
cially the Ku Klux Klan are more
against the so-called prineij)les of
Democracy than the Panthers, but
ihey are never raided or anything.
Even the Communist Party in this
eountrv has more freedom than
the Panthers!

J. Edgar Hoover either has lo
be stupid or misinformed \vhen it
comes to this matter. The longest
term that a KKK has served is
tw'o years, while Bap Brown
Huey Newton, and Eldridge
Cleaver would be if he was here
in the so-called land of the free.
When you look at the Klan's
record, and the Panthers', which
one wouhl you say justifies more
prison sentences?

No Klan leader has e\er been
killed by the police, mil even a
member. But look al ihe Panthers!
Leatlers. members, man! Hoover
isn't stopping at anylhing! The
Klan was eslablislied solely to
kill Blacks, while the Panthers'
policy is to help Brothers and
Sisters whose incomes aren't
sufficient enough to survive in
lliis 'Great Society."

Do you ever hear about how
the Panthers feed under-nourished
children? When you do, the media
says llie Panthers are passing out
pamphlets advocating the killing
of |i(di(e officers. If they are ad-
vocating this- I say more power
to them ! Sure, we want peace,
but it looks like by violent means
will we oidy be able to obtain it.
The Panthers don't advocate ex-
treme violenee. like go out and
kill a eop or liunky, the violence
came as a defensive mechanism.
If a man shoots at you and you
have a gun, what are you going
lo do?

So lo you Brothers and Sisters
who don't like the Panthers, they
aren't working just for members
of that parly, but for all of the
oppressed Blacks in this country,
and face it. if > ou are Black,
you're in this number. So I say.
wake uj) Brothers and Sisters,
support the Panthers, even the
NAACP is finahy beginning lo
see the light.

Who Is A Pig?

By Essie Stewart

In this society many words
have taken on new meanings be-
cause of usage by individuals in
an attempt to describe another
individual. Many limes it is a
small word which describes one's
|icrsnmdity and ideas as well as
looks.

For examide, lake llie wDrd j)ig.
In reality a pig is a domestic
animal believed lo be descended
from wild boars of Euro])e and
Asia. Pig is the term given lo a
youiig swine. The flesh of the
animal is used as food and the
hide is made into good quality
leather and the bristles are used
lo make brushes.

Many individuals consider this
animal unclean and nneouth be-
cause of ils actions. There are
several characteristics which
make it a perfect word for one's

individual.

The pig has a heavy round
body, a long snout or nose, large
bagging jaws, it makes a disgust-
ing giunling sound, it exhibits
greed, it eats slop, lies in mud,
cariies a pungent odor and the
facial expression is one of in-
dignation. Take a good look at ils
I haracteristics and they might re-
mind you of someone you know.
Take an even closer look and you
might see why the Black Panthers
are justified in applying this name
lo policemen.

Being a pig in the Panther's
vocabulary is not showing racial
discrimination. Although a pig
can be black, while or red and
the Panthers go as far as to say a
pig can be polkadot. "A pig is a
pig is a pig," a Black Panther
once said.

Referring to individuals as pigs
is nol a new thing. Il has been
used in earlier times and will
continue to he used in this manner.
Just look around and study peo-
ple's mannerisms and appearances
and you will see why. All humans
at some time demonstrate a little
pigisliness. So cheer up, policemen,
although you are considered to he
pigs by the Panthers, you do not
wear llie title alone.

Is This Progress?

By Augustus Howard

Savannah Stale College, as a
result of last month's pre-regislra-
lion. is regressing instead of pro-
gressing.

Who ever liearc) of pre-regisler-
ing and not knowing who is going
to be your instructor. I mean,
you even gel a choice in kinder-
garten. Here we are. paying all
of this money, and we don't even
get the right to choose our own
inslruitors,

] ask you, fellow students, arc
you going to sit around like you
always do and let this go un-
challenged? Are you going to sit
around and let the same thing
happen next quarter, or are you
going lo stand up for your rights?

Are you going to wait until next
quarter lo be heard, or are you
going to do your thing this quar-
ter? As long as you let the ad-
ministration get away with some-
thing like this, they're going to
keep on exploiting you. They are
going to keep saying, we can get
away with this because the stu-
dents are loo scared to say any-
thing. If no one acts, I'm going
to he inclined to believe ihis.

If enough, and when I say
enough. I mean everyone who
isn't satisfied, get together and
protest the matter, then and then
only will any favorable measures
be taken. But you have to gel to-
gether. If you want to take a
certain subject from Mr. X, but
gel drafted to Mr. \"s class, don't
you ihink that you, you as an
adult, not a brainless child, have
the right lo go to Mr. X? Think
about it.

Most of you have come to the
point where you accept every-
thing and anything that the ad-
ministration puis forth. What you
may nol know is that they want
your advice and know that a
change of time means a change in
thinking. If you don't let them
know how you think, how tan
they ever find out?

Brothers and Sisters, wake up!
If you let what has happened
j ust slide by, you deserve re-
gression!

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Here At Last - A
Student Union
Building

Several slmleiits and staff mem-
bers had the unique opportunity
to see the interior of our Student
Building which is near com-
pletion. This opportunity gave
those who made the tour an in-
sifihl into what the Student Union
will look like when It is formally
opened and the impressions were
most gratifying;. Those who toured
the building feel that it is perhaps
the last word in design, comfort
and utility for the students who
will be using it shortly.

The invitation lo tour the build-
ing was extended by President
Jordan to the students and staff
members who comprise the Stu-
dent Union Board- The Board had
its organizational meeting on
Wednesday evening, Janua ry 7,
1970. It is the purpose of this
board to formulate policies and
regulations that will govern this
facility. In the next weeks this
board will be involved in a num-
ber of meetings during which time
it will receive, consider and solicit
various suggestions and recom-
mendations from all students who
are interested.

Among the first priorities is
proposing a name for the build-
ing. All students are asked to par-
ticipate in recommending and
submitting names for the building.
Watch the various bulletin boards
for additional information as to
the procedure to follow.

Thanks, Maddox
And Company

By Harry B. James, III

The political leaders of the
South are more justifiable to the
point, the top racist skunks in the
South. They are all being shaken
up by the recent Supreme Court
ruling ordering immediate de-
segregation of public schools that
serve 300.000 white and black
children in five Southern stales.
The order did not come as a
complete surprise to the well-
informed; however, the course of
events that have resulted since that
ruling should have brought more
blacks back to their senses when
it comes to thinking that race re-
lations are improving. From so
called Governor Maddox to the
poorest white farm hand in rural
areas of the South there have been
protests and general disorder re-
sulting from desegregation of
public schools in an effort to keep
the races on separate sides of the
lilywhite fence. Mr. Maddox.
masquerading as Governor of
Georgia, with his antagonistic re-
marks, has been kicking up such
a fuss that it makes one wonder
if he thinks the Blacks will con-
taminate the whiles with some in-
curable illness. Most while parents
are protesting and forbidding
their children to attend integrated
schools because of their ignorance
and unwarranted fears that have
been branded into their small
brains since the Reconstruction
days of the old South.

Mr. Maddox, w h o barely
squeezed out of elementary school
through the back door, has all of
a sudden become an authority on
the functions of the public school
system, voicing his seemingly end-
less opinions to everyone includ-
ing President Nixon. Mr. Maddox
has marched in protest along with
hundreds of rebelling white teen-
agers, showing he is as prejudiced
and as narrow minded as any
bigot in the South. He is open-
ly encouraging the misguided
youth of Georgia not to attend
integrated schools along with
otiicr shady politicians.

Thousands of whiles have
formed private schools and are
liolding classes in private churches
to keep from complying with the
Supreme Court. It is ironic that
the main place of brotherhood,
ihe church, is being used as a
tool of segregation. Many blacks

Death on Campus

An American
Tragedy

At Amherst College in western
Massachusetts a student died by
falling 70 feet off the roof of a
dormitory: he had earlier taken a
trip on LSD. George Mounlcastle
was a Harvard University sopho-
more from Baltimore who was vis-
iting an Amherst friend Oct. 11.
State police have arrested another
Amherst student on charges of
selling the LSD to the visitor. But
to Amherst's dean of students.
Robert A. Ward, there was a par-
ticular agony about the tragedy
that was personal, In a letter to
his students written Oct. 16, Dean
Ward tried to express it. His let-
ter follows:

Gentlemen of (he College:
He was not an Andierst man; he
was a visitor. But his death oc-
curred in our communitv. and we
shared in the loss. We were
shocked by the tragedy and
stunned by the senselessness of it.
He was young and bright loo
bright to surrender his life in the
foolish madness blighting a gen-
eration. In a week in which we
paused to reflect on the waste of
life half a world away, it may
have been a strange irony that we
were starkly faced wilJi meaning-
less death on our own campus.
But that week is nearly gone and
memory fades.

I will not rehearse the state-
ments made in the past about
drugs. Many of us for some time
have been apprehensive that a
tragedy would come and last Sat-
urday night it did. Repeated
warnings had gone unheeded: it
couldn't happen here. I only wish
those who ignored those warnings
could have spent part of that hor-
rible night waiting in Cooley Dick-
inson Hospital while the student's
life ebbed or part of Sunday after-
noon in my office while his parents
struggled to comprehend the real-
ity of that day.

I did not become a dean to
watch a generation of students pol-
lute their sanity or distort their
lives, and I confess to a numbing
and depressing sense of helpless-
ness. Words are inadequate and
deeds seem fruitless. More than
ever students have taken on them-
selves the individual responsibility
which shapes their lives in all
areas. It should be so, but the
judicious exercise of such respon-
sibility demands wisdom. 1 see no
wisdom at all in the growing and
indiscriminate use of drugs. I also
see a danger that one major trag-
edy may obscure other tragedies,
smaller perhaps but no less fright-
ening. On a beautiful Saturday
afternoon which was in itself a
natural stimulant, why the need
for some artificial or uncertain
drug? And where were we all on
that night or on any night and
when will we awake to the need to
replace a disinterested privatism
with a sustained concern for trou-
bled people in our community?
And why do \se tolerate in our
midst the profiteers of poison ?
And by what moral right do we
pass into the hands of other= sub-
stances which can threaten their
well-being and even their lives?
What in God's name is happening
lo us?

Last Sunday in a scriptural les-
son the timeless chastisement of
Thomas was repeated : "Because
you did not see, you would not
believe," Last Sunday we did see.
Now I plead as never before
please believe.

should commence to realize that
the only persons in most cases
who will help them arc the blacks,
not racists because blacks are the
go-between separating the white
race and Uncle Toms. Dante, the
great Italian master, slated there
is a place in Hell for all people
who are neutral.

We blacks must realize the sad
truth: the only time Mr. Charlie
wants our company is when he
needs our vote or sweat.

DOCTORS' MARIJUANA VERDICT-
CANT HELP, COULD HURT

Marijuana may not be a one-
way ticket to hell as some oppo-
nents claim, but it's no entree to
psychedelic paradise eitlier.

Long-range studies now going
on may tell us some day just how
marijuana really affects the body
and mind. Until then, tliree top
medical authorities on drugs have
summarized their views, which
can be found in an article in the
January Reader's Digest,

Tlie three doctors Dana L.
Farnsworth of HRrvard, Anthony
V. Philip of Columbia and famed
chest surgeon Alton Ochsner of
New Orleans agree thiit while the
dangers may be somewhat over-
stated, there arc risks in smoking
marijuana and it is a rare "pot-
head" who can escape without
harm,

Moreover Dr. Ochsner, who was
one of the first doctors to note
the correlation between cigarette
smoking and lung cancer, raises
Ihe possibility of similar risks
among marij uana smokers. He
sees disturbing parallels between
today's marijuana craze and the
cigarette promotions a few dec-
ades ago.

"At present, no one knows
whether smoking pot can cause
cancer," he says. "What is certain
is thai the burning of many types
of leaves produces carcinogens.
Marijuana simply has not been in
common use in the United Slates
long enough to produce the deaths
from which statistics are calcu-
lated."

Dr. Farnsworth, who serves a.s
chairman of the American Med!-
cal Association's Council on Men-
tal Health, distinguishes between
"casual" pol smokers lliose who

try it out of curiosity and who
constitute more than half of all
users and "problem" smokers
who are preoccupied with the drug
lo the point of dependency.

Casual smokers may not suffer
any real harm, he says. But many
others do suffer interference with
work and studies, disorientation,
confusion or depression. Ironic-
ally, those most vulnerable to such
reactions are people with unstable
personalities or emotional difficul-
ties who are most likely to try
the (hug in the first place!

And what of the rewards? Dis-
appointing at best, says Dr. Farns-
worth, There is no present evi-
dence thai, except for a few iso-
lated individuals, pot-smoking can
increase self-realization or creativ-
ity. On the contrary, he snys,
"With pol, everything draws to a
hnU."

One oilier danger noted by Dr.
Farnsworth is the risk that mnri-
juaiui can lead to stronger drugs.
While not necessarily so, it has
happened.

Dr. Piiilip, who heads the Co-
Iund)ia College Counseling Serv-
ice, also distinguishes "recren-
tional" pol smokers from those
who are deeply involved. Tlie lat-
ter, he says, "typically have an in-
tolerable, chronic, low-grade de-
[iression and a resentful feeling
lluil somehow they have been
cheated by life." Tlieir motivation
for using drugs is not lo gain
])li-asure, but merely lo avoid pain.

Dr. Philip believes that family
conflict plays a large role in
launching youngsters on the drug
path. "I haven't seen any kids get-
ting into drugs who have not had
family problems," he says.

Student Teachers

K'antinupil froiii Pti^r II
We, ihe students enrolled in our
seminar class and expecting lo
have experience in the leaching
situation, have just about reached
the end of that undergraduate
rope. What has undergraduate
school meant to us? Our years in
college have meant a variety of
things. It has meant participating
in organizations, being engulfed
in our major fields, and pursuing
many personal interests.

Now that we have prepared our-
selves and are almost ready to
leave the rest of the college fam-
ily, we would like lo share with
you our experiences as under-
graduate students at Savannah
State College.

Like all students who intend to
graduate, we chose major areas.
Elementary education was selet'ted
by the majority of students on the
field this quarter they are: Ann
D. Hayes, Jarene Cecile Pearson,
Annie N. Williams, Jacquelyn D.
Wyatt. Carolyn David, Shirley
Young. [>oris Walker Stewart,
and Edward Slinson they like
working with "little people."

English has as its representa-
tives Margaret L, Powell. Bobby
S. Carlyie, and Harold L. Ector
ask them about your communica-
tion problems. Math was chosen
by Gloria Carswell and Joyce
Perry they can really juggle
numbers. The Physical Education
majors are Carolyn D. Mosley,
William S. Roberts, and William
Benyard try telling ihem that
Physical Education is easy. 'ITiere
is only one Social Science major
James Price, a pursuer of facts.

Sororities caught the eye of
Shirley Young, Carolyn David,
Jacquelyn Wyatt, and Jarene
Pearson. The vivacious Miss
Young is Dean of Pledgees and
Vice President of Delta Sigma
Theta in conjunction with being
captain of the cheerleading squad.
Miss Carolyn David reigns as
Queen of Alpha Kappa Alpha, and
has two of her loyal sorors in the
class Miss Wyatt and Miss Pear-
son. Miss David also visiled Af-
rica this past summer.

The Menacing 70's

By Harry B. James, HI

When we were younger the
anticipation of the New Year
brought with it great dreams of
more fun and adventure. We could
once again sit hack and wonder
about the upcoming year with no
responsible adult altitudes to
ponder.

But upon reaching a more
mature stage in life, the rushing
in of a new decade should bring
one hopes, dreams and fears lo
tangle with. The seventies can
either accomplish two things; it
can lift one up to great heights
or reduce one in stature to a mere
burden on society.

Our college years are our most
important adventure to be con-
sidered in the first part of this
decade. With the world in a state
of disillusion it is up to us to train
our minds and bodies to take over
a world filled with weapons,
pollutants and general disorder.

The United States, reaching its
20Oth birthday, must look to the
college student to keep her strong
in a technology-minded hemis-
phere. If one is not part of the
solution, he is part of the prob-
lem. No other decade in history
went out as the 60's in such an
alarming style. If one chooses to
take a stand on an issue, he is
likely to suffer bodily harm. We
students must take a stand and
make independent decisions in
hopes of bettering a world where
we spend billions to put men on
the moon while thousands are
starving here on earth. The 70*5 in
the opinion of experts, is man's
last chance to correct wrongs
which have been ignored for
centuries. We the college students
are the ones who will take over in
the hopes of bringing about
changes relevant to a more hope-
ful Utopia.

How many of you who read this
quote find yourselves guilty of
wasting time? Those few minutes
of senseless seconds add up to
hours lost- Because colleges make
more demands on their students
than high school this quote should
make college students aware of
the crime lliey are committing.

Many of SSC's students felt,
"Ah, the heck with lime," during
the fall quarter for it seemed as
if the quarter would last forever.
So a cut here and a F there did
not matter. The cuts and the Fs
add up and then students found
themselves eligible for the aca-
demic probation list or taking
many courses in their major all
over again.

As the students of SSC venture
forth into this winter quarter
much attention should be given to
ihe quote by Horace Mann.

Omega is ahead in the seventies.
The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity
will have a wide variety of pro-
grams slated for this year. But
first let us look at the old year;
in the old year of 1969 the frat
inducted six new neophytes who
made their way into the Omega
fold. The six called themselves the
Rippling Six and they were out
of sight. They are Charlie Brant-
ley, David Foye, Tom Lamarr,
Johnny McFadden, James Keels,
Elzie McCord. The brothers also
inducted five new lamps, ihey
are Kenny Leonard, Herman
Anderson, Abrahm Wallace,
Charles Jones, Charlie Smith.

During the Christmas holidays
the brothers of the frat and the
sisters of Delta Sigma Theta
visited the Sarah Mill nursing
home and sang Christmas carols
for the patients in the home. This
gesture of Christmas spirit was
enjoyed by the patients and the
staff of the nursing home. Along
with the carols, fruit was also
presented to the patients. We are
sure that the brothers of Alpha
Gamma chapter enjoyed this visit
to the home. Following the visit to
the home the brothers went carol-
ing wilh the Deltas. We toured the
entire community around the col-
lege. This was our final project
of the year.

One of the years' best activities
is upcoming and it is the Omega
Mardi Gras that will be held in
the Wilcox gymnasium. This one
is sure lo be one of the best ever.
So come out, be cool and have a
boss time with the Ques. Get your
tickets early for if you don't you
might be left out. Always remem-
ber that procrastination is the
thief of time, so use your dis-
cretion in getting your tickets.

SPORTS AND EVERYTHING

Shine On Tigers

By Essie Stewart

"Everybody is a star." is a
phrase to describe the energetic
members of the Tiger basketball
team. Each one is a star in his
own right. And wlien performing
iin the basketball court this state-
ment becomes true when pressure
placed on the Tigers by an oppos-
ing team reaches zenith and the
pressure quickly diminishes.

The keeper of these stars is a
man who should not he over-
looked. He presents techniques
for these stars to employ so that
their light will not fade out. He
presents techniques to show the
stars how to shine brightly, beau-
tifully and powerfully and dis-
courage twinkling. Coach Leo
Richardson's job is no bed of
roses.

A most inspiring time to see
these Tigers is in a practice
session. The spirit of the team is
at a high level, one determines at
this stage of the session that it is
a very cooperative team, eager to
play and sometimes a little
hesitant in their supposedly
serious approach to the practice
session.

The many drills they perform,
like running around the gym
dribbling a basketball through
chairs, are just a few of the drills
which help to build their resist-
ance and strength. All these ac-
tivities pay off after being vie-
turious in many games.

There is no one member, or
two who make the Tigers' team
click. It is all of the players who
have an earnest desire to play ball.
It is exjiected that some stars will
shine more boldly than others.
They have been taught and trained
lo shine to certain degrees of
perfection. There are others on
the team who have the abilitv,
yet. it needs to be developed. And
Coach Richardson is trying to do
it.

A record of 6 and 2 gives these
stars something to boast about.
The question now Is how long
will the light from these stars
shine? The answer is quite simple.
They will shine as long as they are
under the coaching of Leo
Richardson; as long as they re-
member that they represent the
students of SSC and the citizens
of Savannah; and as long as they
have 'the 100',^ support of the
students and faculty of the Savan-
nah State College. Shine on
Tigers.

Tigers Lose,
Streak Ends

By Harry B.James. HI

Savannah Slate's four game
winning streak toppled January
10, despite a gallant rally staged
in the second half as host Knox-
ville College tumbled the Tigers,
99-97, in Tennessee.

It was a nip and tuck game from
the jump with Kno.wille streaking
to a 57-12 lead at the half. After
the Tigers rested they stomped
back on the court, playing desper-
ately to gain the lead, but were
still behind, C9-16, with 15:20 to
go in the game. Realizing they
were in trouble with Knoxville
which they managed to defeat in
their gym by two points in the
final seconds of the game. Michael
Jordan and Fred Reynolds went to
work. Reynolds, who is a sub,
played his high school ball with
the nationally famous Beach High
Bulldogs of Savannah and it was
his keen eye which tied the game,
87-all.

Knoxville, realizing they were
in trouble, tried to freeze the ball
but swift footed Michael Jordan
stole the ball and passed to Reyn-
olds who hit a moon beam to tie
it again 9.'^-93. But Knoxville was
not to be denied this time and
scored two baskets by Evit Smith
to insure the win.

Vincent While scored 9 points
but corralled 21 rebounds, Jordan
led the Tigers scoring with 36
sweet ones, Reynolds had 16
points, Stevens 15, and Harper
netted 12.

The Tigers
Are Great!

Rv Harry B. James, III
The 1969-70 Tigers' basketball
team is otie of the best small col-
lege teams in the country and
could on any night beat any team.
Coached by Leo Richardson,
the level headed master and
former State star Carl Crump, the
sizzling cagers of SSC are setting
goals which other teams in the
country can only envy. According
to the weekly statistics sheet re-
leased from NCAA headquarters.
Savannah State's Globetrotters
have attempted 558 field goals
and have made good on 5511 at-
tempts for a spectacular .537 per-
centage to lead the nation with
style. Savaimah State is a com-
pletely new team from last year's
team whicli finished with a not
too respectful season with 15 wins
and 16 losses. State leads another
power, Kentucky State, by 4 per-
centage points. In the offense
category ihe Tigers are ranked
ninth in the nation with Kentucky
State hohling down number one.
Michael Jordan, known to many
as the California Flash, and Vin-
cent White, known as the Elevator
Man, are holding their own in
different individual records.

Among the small college's lead-
ing scorers. Jordan holds down
38th place with a 27 point aver-
age who has scored 216 points.
He should go higher as time
progresses. White and Jordan are
corralling their share of rebounds
also. White is second in the nation
with 23.3 scoops per game and
Jordan is 11th with 19.5 per
game. Presently freshman Kelsey
The Kid Stevens is sporting an
18.3 season scoring average and
Harper 8.7 points and Abrams
4.6 points.

The Tigers are loaded with
exciting talent and should get
better if that is possible as the
young season goes forth.

shooting of Vincent White and
the assists of Kelsey Stevens,

left. The teams played see-saw ball
for six minutes, then the Tigers
took a six point lead at 53-47 with
35 seconds left. The Tiger charge

Michael Jordan. The Lions, still
not yielding, made it 53-51 at half

ing in the second half, and en-
joyed numerous six jjoint leads.

snaring crucial rebounds.

The Tigers kept rolling along,
and had a 15 point lead wilh
10:28 left at 84-79.

The Lions then put on a
desperate drive, taking advantage
of Tiger misses. With 7:05 left,
they had narrowed it to 91-88.
Despite White's defensive work
and Johnny Abrams and Steven's
passing, the Tigers couldn't put
nothing in. Paine grabbed the
lead at 96-95 with 5:07 left, and

SGA President Makes Deniancls

We. the students of Savannah
Slate College feel and know in
most cases that we are being mis-
educated, misled, and mistreated
by some of the faculty and ad-
ministrative members. In the past
the things we have asked for have
either been diluted or not con-
sidered at all. We. the STUDENT

prosperity of this institution de-
pends on all of these demands.

allowed to drop a course up to
five days before classes end.

We demand that all departments
do away with standardized tests,
because they are geared for the

ation and giving the students iheir
money's worth.

the power to change unfair, un-
just, and bias grades.

Dr. Rand. Mrs. Owens. Dr. Hayes,
Dr. Brailhwaite, Miss Davis, Miss
Hamilton, Dr. H o p s o n. Mr.
Mason. Dr. Sartor, Dr. Williams,

On Being Black at Michigan

their demands. It is a lest for the

By Essie Stewart

The students of SSC have issued
thirty-four demands In the ad-
ministration of the college for
needed changes. It slates the stu-
dents are being miseducated, mis-
led, and mistreated l)y stmw mem-
bers' of the faculty, adniini-^lration,
and : practices of tlie college.

How did it begin anri when did
it begin? The origin of the in-
justices have dumhfnutided the
writer just as ihcy linve the reader.
Did these evils begin when the
college first opened its doors to
Black students? Is it just a passing
fad? Or is it n part of the
"turbulent sixties" brouglu over
into the seventies?

These demands ])resenl a test
of ability and endurance for all
concerned. President Jordan's re-
lationship with the student body
will be tested and will be con-
stantly observed. We who know
little about him will see if he is
willing to fight to the bitter end
for the entire welfare of tlie col-
lege. This is a test fur the students
to see if they are really sincere in

Has War Been
Deelared On Blaek
Panther Party?

By Debbye G. Ricliardson

News media are full of Black
Panthers being killed, harassed
and attacked by police in almost
every major city known to be a
Black Panther stronghold. The
Panthers have slated that they are
being systematically destroyed by
the Federal Government.

If the Panthers were one of the
white citizens' committees known
to exist in several communities,
would they be subjected to the
same treatment?

Wl\)- arc ihe Panthers looked
upon as a threat to the middle
class white's society, wlien the
Minulemen, KKK's and Birchiles
make up the so-called society?

When was a Minuteman killed
as he lay asleep?

If the Panthers were white,
could they openly and freely ex-
press their right to freedom of
speech without being arrested and
accused of threats on their presi-
dent?

Why do some Blacks oppose the
Panthers yet accept George
Wallaces' stomping the country
preaching hate for 'dcm niggers"?

What KKK gets up in the morn-
ing before the cock crows to feed
somebody else's kid?

Why did Eldridge Cleaver's in-
viution to speak at Berkeley
arouse so much attention, when
Coldwaters, Maddoxcs and

accused to see if they are really
hindering the progress and cheat-
ing the stnilenis of the college. It
is a test for the systems practiced
at the college. It will test their
ability to meet the changing needs
of students.

I f llic students' demands are
looked on as a new trend of the
seventies trouble may He ahead
for SSC. There is a feeling revolu-
tion roaming tliis country and
now it has finally landed at SSC.
If the students' demands are over-
looked the idea of SSC being a
democratic college will be
abolishetl; however, systems and
rulers that have reigned long can
not be destroyed in a week or
even in a month.

An important factor to note is
if the students' demands are over-
looked, Imrt could be inflicted
upon ihc students by the accused
parties. A kind of hurt that may
take years to erase. The oilier side
cannot be disregarded. The ac-
cused are doing a job and being
paid for it. Yet iti tlie course of
human events some individuals
do cheat those deserving students
who honestly want the best that is
offered. The students feel tliey are
only receiving half of what the
accused bus to give. They even
believe they arc the victims of
}>ersonal feelings that should have
been forgotten before coming on
the campus.

Imperfect human beings finding
faults with each other is what the
issue really concerns. Tlie students'
faults will he [lointed out im-
mediately because they are young
and have just started to explore
the world outside of their private
homes. While on the other side
there are men. women, and prac-
tices who have passed their
youthful stage and arc set in their
ways. They will not yield and they
are not conditioned for fast
changes.

What the outcome of this in-
cident will be no one knows. A
list of demands may be issued
from tlie accused U> tlie students.
Il could become a verbal war, one
side issuing demands to the other
while that other side retaliates
with another list of demands. The
only thing thai would be accom-
plished is more work for the
clean-up men employed at SSC.

Some students who speak boldly
for these demands may find them-
selves the victim uf unfair treat-
ment. Do not be shocked if the
silent majority of SSC is called on
by either side.

The students in Hubert Tech-
nical should start constructing a
"peace-talk table" to seat all of
those concerned with the issue.
And Dr. McDew will he needed

To the innocent bystanders and
spectators, just hope the outcome
of ibis issue will be fair and give
justice to all concerned, if the
students' demands are not con-
sidered as a passing trend.

By Bob Joiner
1 can't say what it's like to be
black at Michigan: Bob Joiner,
who is black, can't speak for the
other 999 black students. As a
coed I know said to me, "Whiles
say. 'Oh, 1 understand all your
problems now because X. who is
black, told me all about them'."'
The first problem blacks have is
white stereolyping-

So what's it like being Bob
Joiner? For one thing, being black
in America in 1969 means a prob-
lem of social identity for me. I'm
trying cx|)erimenting. really to
relate to ideals and values differ-
ent from those embodied by white
culture, I feel positively toward
blackness, and I no longer accept
ihe sligma attached lo blackness
by white culture- My appearance
has changed, too: if the Vitalis
people depended on me for a
living, they'd be out of business.
I'm looking to African culture for
possible solutions, and il makes
me feel good to see the Afros,
dashikis and the clenched fist
salutes just the way 1 once felt
when I saluted the flag or stood
lo the national anthem.

But 1 don't want lo deceive
myself. It's too easy lo mistake a
culture for the conditions which
create it. A friend of mine re-
signed from the Detroit News last
summer and decided to move to
Nairobi. She was pretty excited
about the trip, but by October, she
was back at the Detroit News. Re-
gardless of what motivated her

return, she conceded that Nairobi
hadn't been what she had
imagined it would be.

"Many black Americans," Tom
Mboya said, "think that to identify
with Africa one should wear a
shaggy beard or a cheap gar-
ment. We live in mud and wattle
huts and buy cheap Hong Kong
fabrics not because it is part of
our culture, but because these are
conditions imposed upon us by
poverty. White people often con-
fused the symbols of our poverty
with our culture. I would hope
black people would not make the
same error."

So maybe it isn't Afro culture
itself that's important, but the
feeling that it expresses: we're in
this thing together, so we'd better
stick together. In Ann Arbor, the
All American city filled with all
those Norman Rockwell people, it's
something like an extended family
relationship. I meet many blacks
for the first time, and we talk as
if we've known each other for
years.

The University? It's almost as
difficult to talk about the Univer-
sity as it is to talk about every
attitude of every white person. I
don't know, can't know, what in-
dividual white attitudes are but
I see any predominately white uni-
versity as a projection of the
whole white culture. An incident
that happened not long ago is one
way of showing what I mean:

It was the night of the Fifth
Dimension Concert last spring.

During the intermission, Ron
Harris, Black Student Union Presi-
dent, came to the stage to say a
few words about the Martin
Luther King Fund, the reason for
the concert, and about the man
himself. Ron gave an impressive
talk but I couldn't help but
notice the near absence of ap-
plause after he finished. When the
Fifth Dimension returned, the
largely while audience applauded
overwhelmingly, 1 think the con-
trast in the responses to Harris
and the Fifth Dimension is sym-
bolic, summing up what many
white Americans seem to want
from blacks. Black entertainers
football and basketball players,
singers and dancers are good to
watch- But whites won't respond
to a black man who disturbs their
collective conscience. In their
separate applauses, differing in
intensity, the whites seemed to
say: "We gave our money to the
fund, now we'd rather forget. King
is dead let's keep it that way.
Now, on with the show!"

The University is like the whole
of American culture, with its ties
to the European west and its com-
plete lack of monuments to the
black experience. There are no
statues of black heroes and no
holidajs commemorating famous
black men, whether African or
American. It's like a place in
which you can't hear yourself, see
yourself or touch yourself: the
symbols of being you become very
important.

Yield, Baby, Yield

Call for Immediate School Integration

Bv E^sie Stewart
Lately in the State of Georgia
there have been heated discussions
concerning the immediate integra-
tion of schools. Even though the
Blacks have their so-called free-
dom for a hundred and some odd
years, he still is not quite good
enough to share a school (consist-
ing of 50' ; white students and
50',i Black students) uith the
whites of Georgia.

Since the integration of schools
has begun Blacks have been
shifting lo white schools. If the
Blacks had not gone to the
Whiley's school, integration would
not have been accomplished. Il
always seems that the Blacks are
going to the Whites. When will
the situation be reversed?

Many Whiles have come up
with weightless arguments to slow
the action up or stop il all to-
gether. For example, "All of my
children's friends attend the
school so why should he be trans-
ferred, this school is so far away
from our home." Bull, jive and
Lester Maddox is with desenting
whites.

One wonders if the White
populus did not anticipate a day
like this would come when his
child would have to share a school
with the Blacks and be taught by
Black instructors. No they, the
whiles of Savannah, for example,
never expected a day like this
would come, that is why Tompkins
Senior High was built near Groves
High, he put Sol Johnson in its
present location so Blacks would
not have to go to Jenkins, and
Beach was put in its present loca-
tion so Blacks would not have to
go lo Savannah High. It may not
have not seemed to be this purpose
when these Black schools were
built but, it does appear this way
now-

Pareats in some South Georgia
counties are boycotting public
schools and seeking ways of
educating their children through
private schools as a solution to
the loss of freedom of choice
school attendance. The Black's
reaction is not the same. Just as
he went into the fields and did
his best he will go to the white's
school and do his best.

Wake Up We Are Demanding Not Asking

B\ IL ni;i,k Jjines. HI
Ronald Clark, our great leader.
stated at an urgent meeting for
students. "We the students at
SSC are being mistreated, mis-
educated and misled by some of
the faculty and administrative
members." I can only agree with
him 100 percent.

Evidence at Savannah Stale
College clearly shows that a lot
of teachers and administrative
staff members are doing nothing
whatsoever lo help students. Al-
though we should not be so hard
on them, il seems that one-quarter
of the instructors out here are not
worth a grain of salt, in regard to
studies.

Thirty-three demands were
made and must come to reality
before this institution can become
progressive. One of the most far
reaching demands is the immedi-
ate termination of the following
instructors: Dr. Rand, Miss
Hamilton, Dr. H o p s o n, Mr.
Mason, Mrs. Owens. Dr. Hayes,
Dr. Braithwaile, Miss Davis. Dr.
Sartor, Dr. Williams and Dr.

Di.iii, If llic-e instructors are not
guilty of leaching poorly, have
Uncle Tom attitudes and other
shady characteristics, then why
would their names be on this list?
(Think about it!) We must wake
up!

One reason we are not progress-
ing as fast as possible is because
we students are not together.
Again, I say wake up! We pour
hundreds of dollars into this in-
stitution and can not even get top
notch education,

Ronald Clark further slated that
the book store is robbing us. Does
it make sense to purchase a ten
dollar book for one quarter and
never use it again? Does it make
sense lo build a million dollar
building and put worthless in-
structors in it? Brothers and
Sisters, please wake up!

We are paying for a first rate
education and we are getting third
rate satisfaction. Ronald Clark has
talked until he is blue in the face
fighting for rights for us. But,
doc*s the majority of the students

"According to Secretary of
HEW, Robert Finch, some 400
private schools have formed to
escape public school integration
since the Civil RighU Act of 1964.
Most of these schools are located
in the South. In South Georgia
these private educational facilities
continue to mushroom and are
being built with donations,
through fund raising activities.

Again the whites have found a
way to evade the rulings sent
down by the courts, and it's be-
cause he does not wish to associate
with a Black. But the whites of
Georgia will not be able lo do
this for long. Remember this is a
new decade, the unpredictable
seventies and no matter how hard
the whites try it will be very hard
to stop a Black who has a deter-
mined mind. The only solution for
the whites now is to yield to the
call for immediate integration.
This will be repeated one more
time for Lester Maddox. YIELD
BABY.YIELD!

Deeds and Actions

By Harry B. James, HI
Lip service is disservice without
action. Many persons regardless
of age, position, or race some-
times make statements which can
never be kept. We as individuals
have this fault in common with
everyone. If one chooses to make
a statement regarding a promise,
he should try to the best of his
abilities to make good on il. Any-
one who states his intentions with
the intent of not keeping them is
showing in reality a dishonest
nature. There is a saying,
"Promises are made to be broken
and forgotten," However, an

back him? No! We are tired of
hearing people say we need this,
we need that. Dr. Doe is not teach-
ing us anything. If an instructor
does not like you, then it is im-
possible for you to pass his course.
We are all tired of hearing this
jaw-jabber. We are demanding,
not asking nor begging anymore.
We demand changes around this
college which are badly needed.
This college belongs to you, the
students and we do not have to

put up with this any

longer.

drawing and
sequence ivas

Q. Explain the
how the random
e^tabHshcd.

A. On December 1, 1969 there
was a drawing in Washington of
366 closed capsules. In each
capsule was a slip of paper on
which was written a month and
a day of the year, for example.
May 2, June I, etc.

The order that these capsules
were drawn will determine the
relative position in the national
random sequence of registrants
born on all the dates of the year,
including February 29. If May 21
was drawn first, all men born on
May 21 would be No. 1 in the
national random sequence. If
February 29 was drawn last, all
men with that birthday anniver-
sary would be No. 366 in the na-
tional random sequence.

Q. How wiU this sequence be
used by local boards?

A. Each local board will assign
numbers to its registrants who are
1-A or who become 1-A in accord
with the national sequence. Some
local boards may not have, at any
one time, men with birthdays on
every day. In such a case the local
board would go to the next num-
ber. For instance, it might call
numbers 1 through 5. then 7 and
8 because it had no men whose
birthdays were on the day drawn
sixth in the drawing.

Q. Why is there a drawing of
the alphabet?

A. This drawing randomizes
the alphabet so that in instances
where a local board has two or
more men with the same birthday
and is required to order one but
not all of them for a call it has
a way to determine which comes
first, second, etc., by applying the
random alphabet to the names,

Q. Does everybody get a num-
ber out of the first lottery?

A. No^the first drawing will
determine the random sequence
number only for those men who
prior to January 1, 1970 will have
attained age 19. and not 26.

Moreover, the number in which
a birthday is drawn will not be
meaningful until an individual is
classified 1-A or 1-A-O. Some men
in the group who get a number
from the first drawing may not be
classified 1-A until next year or
later. In such cases, a young man's
number will determine his order
in the national sequence in use
that year. For example, a young
man's birthday is drawn No. 80,
and he is now deferred for college,

MALE FASHIONS

By Sandra Bland

SMOKEY ROBINSON

On this campus there are two
Black males that will "Blow Your
Minds" with tlieir mean rags of
the 70's. They are Smokey Robin-
son and Rev. James P. McKiever
who have set the pace for men's
fashion at SSC.

Smokey Robinson is a senior
majoring in Education from Sa-
vannah, Georgia. Smokey has on
a six button double breasted
striped earmal cashmere with
overlapping large pockets. His
body shirt offsets the long lean

REV. JAMES P. McKIEVER

collar of the coat. His silk bell-
bottom pants have pleats at the
legs. Smokey's shoes are brown
lizzards that complete the attire.
Rev. McKiever is a senior
majoring in Sociology and he is
assistant dormitory director of
Wright Hall. The Reverend has
on a goldish brown tailored coat.
His burnt orange sweater and
brown tailored pants by Fox of
London sets the pace for the
winter season. He tops off the out-
fit with a goldish brown hat and
black gloves.

but loses his college deferment in
June 1971, he will now be No. 80
in the national random sequence
in use that year.

Q. How do new 19-ycar-olds
gel a number?

A. In 1970 a drawing of the
366 days of the year will be held.
This drawing will determine the
national random sequence to be
used in 1971. The only registrants
who would look to that drawing to
determine where they stand in the
national random sequence are
those who turn 19 during 1970.

Q. How do you use more than
one drawing?

A. The date of May 1 may be
drawn No. 80 in the first lottery.
This would be the number of a
man who was in college during
1970, but graduated and lost his
deferment in June 1971.

The date of September 11 may
be drawn No. 80 in the next
lottery. A man born on September
U who was available in 1971
would be No, 80 in the random
order. So would the first man
whose birthday of May 1 was
drawn No. 80 a year earlier. If
both men were in the same local
board they would be colled on the
same call or if one, but not both
were required, the random
alphabet would determine which
one went first.

Q. Doesn't the registrant wlio w
in college most of the year have an
advantage over the one who can't
go to college and is I-A through-
out the year?

A. No. The key in both cases
is whether his random sequence
number is reached in his local
board. If the random sequence
number has been reached in the
case of a registrant who becomes
1-A late in the year, he will be
inducted as soon as appeals,
examinations and so forth, are
concluded, even though the year
has ended. There is no way he can
gain an advantage by delaying his
actual induction through time re-
quired for personal appearance,
appeals, examination and other
processing if his random sequence
number lias been readied.

Q. What about the registrant
who loses a deferment or
exemption just before age 26?

A. This is like the case in the
previous question.

Letter to the
Student Body

Student Body
Savannah State College
Savannah, Georgia 31404

To the President, Officers and
Members of the Student Govern-
ment Association and Student
Body:

We the President, Officers and
Members of the Student National
Education Association are
deeply concerned with the presence
of the names of certain instructors
of the Department of Education
on the list of grievances issued on
last week. As involved, interested
students and future teachers, we
feel that the students who sub-
mitted these instructors' names
should present justifiable reasons
for their dismissals.

We feel that this is a serious
matter which requires thought and
discussion.

We appeal to the students in-
volved to give a great deal of
thought to this matter.

We are sure that some method
other than dismissing these in-
structors can and should be dis-
cussed.

Your cooperation in this matter
will be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully yours,
Culhbert Burton,
President

If his number has been reached
or is reached, and an individual
loses his deferment just before his
26th birthday, he will, if his de-
ferment extended his liability to
age 35 as most do, be inducted at
the end of all the processing steps
if he remains in Class 1-A or
1-A-O and is qualified, even
though he has turned 26 during
this period of delay.

Q. How does this system help a
registrant know with more cer-
tainty his chances of serving?

A. First of all, the period of
greatest vulnerability is one year,
rather than seven.

Second, the order in which a
birthday is drawn will tell an in-
dividual where he stands in the na-
tional random selection sequence.
If his birthday is drawn early, a
young man knows that when he is
classified 1-A and found accept-
able, it is almost certain he will
be called. He can plan his career
to accommodate that possibility.
If his birthday is drawn near the
end, he has relative certainty of
not being called short of unusual
circumstances. Me can plan ac-
cordingly.

For the registrant whose birth-
day is drawn in the middle range
it is not so clear, but in any event
the system will give much greater
certainty than is possible under
the former system.

Q. Will registrants nout post-
poned be in the random selection?

A. No. The postponed registrant
has already been ordered for in-
duction under the old system and
will be inducted when the post-
ponement ends.

Q. Can a man tvliose birtlulay
is drawn early in the drawing still
join the reserve?

A. Yes. Just as now, he can Join
a reserve any lime before the in-
duction order is issued.

Q. Wliat about volunteering for
active duty?

A. The policy is to authorize
enlistment lor active duty at any
time up to the day of induction.

Southern White
Writes "Sour Book

By Debbye 0. Richardson

A new era of writing has ap-
peared among many while writers
who have been inspired by the
Black movement. Among these is
Grace Halstead, author of Soul
Sister, a hook of the experiences
of a southern white woman who
through the use of drugs and
various medications, lives a Black
life such as John Howard Griffin
did in his writing of Black Like
Me.

Miss Halstead lives and works
as a Black woman in Harlem and
Mississippi. Her book presents her
experiences as shocking, agoniz-
ing and unlike she had imagined
any life to be.

Born in Texas, Miss Halstead
presents the picture of the treat-
ment that white men have shown
toward Black women since slavery.
Her book has prompted Charles
Evers, civil rights leader and
brother of slain Medgar Evers, to
say that he feels that white men
are afraid that Black men will
treat white women such as white
men have done to Black women.

Besides Evers, the book has
been commended by other noted
Black leaders and writers in all
circles. The book leaves non-
Black readers with a kind of
empathy toward the "problems"
of being Black, especially in the
south, and instills in Blacks the
knowledge that their cries have
not been shots in the dark with
no one hearing.

SSC Observes Religious Emphasis Week

Savannah Slate College observed
its Annual Religious Emphasis
Week on February the fifth
through the eighth and had several
distinguished speakers.

The Friday program, with Rev.
Samuel Williams of SSC in charge,
featured as the speaker the Rev.
Samuel Williams of Morehouse
College. Rev. Williams, a realist,
made some statements that really
shocked the student body and fac-
ulty. His most stunning statement
was of Mary, the mother of Jesus
not being a virgin. His address
was interesting, however, and it
kept the congregation in awe as
they wondered what else Rev. Wil-
liams would say.

After each assembly, a debate or
forum was held. The Thursday
forum's topic of discussion was,
"Black Studies and Academic Free-
dom." Friday's debate was ques-
tioned around the topic. "Is Black
Power a Form of Black Racism?";
and Mr. Delacy Sanford's Debat-
ing Team was in charge.

On Sunday, the Rev. Dr. James
Eaton, Director of Graduate
Studies at SSC, was the guest
speaker. Rev. Eaton's sermon was
also very interesting. An art ex-
hibit, "Religion in Art," was held
in the John F. Kennedy Fine Arts
Center and the movie, "Born
Free," was shown on that night to
highlight a successful week.

EVERYBODY'S GOT SOUL

By Harry B. James. Ill
Soul is a quality that any man
may have. Many people believe
soul is something that only the
black men produce in most cases
because of their quality of black-
ness. However, soul as we know
it can and is produced by any race

Deeds

IContinued from Page 2)
honest person who wants respect
must earn it through his deeds and
sincere efforts. One who puts over
a point in words should be able
to back himself up in deeds. If he
doesn't, he is a disservice to his
peers who believe in his wisdom
and truth. Many organizations are
guilty of this wrong and are not
respected in their *ocial surround-
ings. Politicians can promise you
the world when running for an
election, but often you will find
they are talking off the top of
their heads to insure your vote.
We as intelligent beings must be
able to separate the truth from
lip service to protect ourselves
and others. A person is of no
positive value when he goes back
on his word. A shiftless person or
weak-minded person can only
cause you letdowns and hardships.
Remember, to believe in oneself
is one of man's greatest virtues
and truths.

regardless of location, because to
each person it represents a differ-
ent act or mood. A black man can
say he has soul because of the way
he dances, sings, and moves. But
to each person, the way he does
his thing, as we sometimes call
it, may represent soul to him. We
sometimes hear people say "He
does not have any soul," but how
can we say our definition of soul
is right and their's wrong? Their
form of talking is just as bad as
saying our color is what's happen-
ing. Making a statement concern-
ing soul we must always remem-
ber, this is our opinion and not
law. A black man may call peas,
ham hocks and cornbread soul
food. In this respect it is soul food
to the blacks. But a person of
Spanish descent will more than
likely represent his views of soul
food as rice, hot peppers, and
chili. So by realizing that to each
man and race the meaning of
soul, can mean countless things,
we cannot really say what is soul,
but what does soul represent to
you as an individual. If a man is
alive, he has feelings, thoughts,
actions, and deeds which to him
is soulful by his interpretations.
Soul will always be with us be-
cause people will always try to
stand out among others.

ITS UP TO YOU

By Augustus Howard
The success or failure of all, or
any of the demands made by the
Student Government Association
depends entirely on you, the stu-
dent body.

Since the demands were made
public, 1 have heard more criti-
cism from tlie students than I
thought 1 would. Does this mean
that a majority of you aren't for
the demands?

These demands only reflect the
opinions of a few members of the
student body, and 1 think that a
vote should be taken to see just
how many students think these de-
mands should be met. It doesn't
seem just to have these demands
enforced if only a few people are
in favor of them.

Personally, I believe that when
the demands were made the SGA

knew that some students would ob-
ject, mainly because you can't
please everybody. What they
didn't ex|)ect was so many of you
to object.

Many students and instructors
think that some of the demands
are silly, and although I wouldn't
go that far, 1 do think that some
could have been omitted and some
better ones could have been put in.
But who am 1 to say what would
be better.

1 am interested in what you the
students in majority think about
this. I would like to use some
opinions for the March paper, to
see if what you think now will
still be the same in March. Any-
one wishing to have an opinion
published may do so. Bring it to
the Student Publications room or
give it to any member of the Ti-
ger's Roar staff.

grabbed a 10-point 40-30 lead
with 4:54 showing on the clock.

The Tigers, with clutch shooting
from Vincent While and Frankie
Harper, closed the margin to 49-
43 at half-time. White made six
points in the rally, and Harper
added the same.

Albany came out hot in ihe
second half, and increased the lead
to 10 before SSC could score.
They continually poured it on and
grabbed a 14-poinl 67-53 lead.
Breaking the Tigers' defense, the
Rams" Kenny Lewis kept making

The SSC Tigers had ihe lead
only once during the game, and
that was 6-5 with 18:09 left. Both

Wilh the Rattlers enjoying a
scoring flurry, Florida A&M held
a 64-53 halftime margin.

consecutive baskets before A&M
scratched. Wright again took
charge for the Rattlers, and the
A&M boys took an eight-point
bulge.

The Michael Jordan-led Tigers
came back to within three at 78-75
with 13:50 showing. SSC got to
within one at 78-77 on a Frankie

close as the Tigers got.

day night.

The Tigers started out fast.
They had a 24-11 lead with 9:40

night with a 55.6 per cent of field
goats attempted. The Tigers
grabbed 91 rebounds to set a new

BOOK REVIEW

B) Dcbbye G. Ri.hardson

The Negro Revolution

The l\ef:ro Revohition goes
back to the beginnings of African
slavery and comes down to the
day before yesterday- The author
realizes that some of the facts
about the Black experiences have
been ignored at the expense of
truth. Starting at the magnificence
of early African kingdoms, ending
at the American racial strife of
1967, this documenlcd. provoca-
tive discussion of the background
economics, politics and psychology
of American slavery and its vio-
lently bitter heritage is fine
analytic hislory.

In summarization, T)ie Ne^ro
Revolution is a hislory of protest
and a readable synthesis of docu-
mented trends and patterns in
Negro history. It's a necessity
written with an excellence that
denies any potentially selectorial
claims of holding enough material
on the subject.

WILD GAME ENDS IN DEFEAT

By Harry B. James, HI

If you are the kind of fan who
likes to see a lot of action, good
playing and especially fouls you
missed something if you didn't
witness the Tigers against South
Carolina Stale in the Tigers gym.

A total of 52 fouls were called
in the contest with 30 going
against the Tigers. With the Tigers
loosing on the charily chip 106-
101.

The visiting Bulldogs, 10-2 for
the season, converted on 26 of
42 free throws while SSC could
only manage 15 of 30. The differ-
ence in foul shots told the story
of the game,

The South Camlina Bulldogs
which haveiit lost a sports event to
the Tigers in three years were led
by Johnny Carey with a 32 point
scoring effort.

Vincent White kept the Tigers
in the game until he was benched
with three personals. Without the
Elevator Man in the game and
Michael Jordan cold from the
field the Tigers were behind 53-'tK
at the halL

In the second half Jordan,
Kelsey Stevens and Frankie Har-
per put some life into the Tiger
attack but were unable to prevent
the outcome. The Bulldogs have
beaten the Tigers twice in as many
outings.

Paine Defeats
Tigers 83-80

By Harry B.James, HI

The high riding Tigers were
upended by Paine College in the
winners gym in Augusta, 83-80.

The usually high scoring SSC
team was plagued wilh cold spells
all night and off-form con-
sistently.

Despite gallant rallies, Paine
proved to be the lucky ones in
nick and tuck game from the start.

Paine, looking more like the
Tigers than the Tigers, utilized the
fast break led by James Greene
and Douglas Glynn to make
crucial rebounds and baskets.

Green's two free throws in the
final moments killed the Tigers'
fine rally and sealed the icing on
the cake for Paine.

Michael Jordan caged 23 points
to lead SSC's desperate drive.
Vincent White grabbed 20 re-
bounds although Paine's Green
picked off 24 to keep ahead of
While in the rebounding race.

Savannah State now stands 9-7,
Paine a dismal 7-9.

Tigers were in second place be-
hind Xavier of Louisiana with a
.564 mark. SSC also claimed the
Uth spot in team offense.

Tigers' Defense
Weak

By Harry B. James, III
Savannah State Tigers were hot
at the beginning of the season and
until Christmas held a resireotful

record of five wins out of six
games.

The basketball team Marled off
wilh a bang at the beginning of
the 70'3 but have not been too
successful in the win column
lately, The Tiger winning streak
was broken with a loss to South
Carolina Stale January 24, 1970.
The defense was completely off
and SCS look a 140-98 victory
over the embarrassed Tigers.

Although State has four players
averaging in a double figure aid-
ing the team in scoring an average
of over a hundred points a gome,
they are giving up needless points
because of numerous turnovers
and sloppy defense.

There are some stars for State
on defense in the game. Three of
the best are Vincent While,
Michael Jordan a n d Johnny
Abrams, White currently has a
rebounding average of 23.5,
fourth best in the NAIA. Michael
Jordan is currently sporting a
20.5 rebound average and is tenth
in the NAIA standing. Johnny
Abrams although not rated na-
tionally lias proven himself to be
one of the best defensive players
of the Tigers. With his quick re-
flections, and never closing hustle
coming into a game he has turned
the tide for Stale many times with
his ball stealing abilities and
clutch shots.

As of January 7, Slate has a
five and five conference record
and 10-7 overall. State cannot
afford to lose another game or
the hopes of playing in the SIAC
tournament February 26-28 will
be all but gone.

Coach Leo Richardson's bas-
keteers must reshape their de-
fense if they plan to have any
hopes of gelling back on the
winners column.

15-9 overall, tlie Tigers captured
tlie SIAC witli a nerve-ivracking
109-101 victory over Alabama
State.

The Tigers, traveling to Tuskc-
gee, Alabama, with the hopes of
capturing their third straight tour-
nament championship, did just
that by defeating such basketball
standouts as Alabama A. & M.,
106-92, Bethune-Cookman, 107-102
antl finally Alabama State.

The Tigers, ranked No. I in the
nation in field goal shooting anil
sixth in team offense, managed to
equal their records in the tourna-
ment.

Led by tlie 41 point effort of
Vincent White, Savannah Slate re-
mained hot throughout the cliam-
jiionshiii game and outlasted Ala-
bama State despite Alabama's su-
perior height advantage with two
starting 7 foolers.

in the opening minutes of play
SSC built up an early eight point
lead before Alabama could find
the range. With eagle eyed Fran-
kie Harper and All American Can-
didate Michael Jordan cutting the
mustard for their share of points,
the Tigers maintained their lead.

A Report By the Special Committee on Student Demands

A special committee of students 2. By action of the Academic

and faculty met to consider the list Council and faculty vote, demands

of demands made by the students. 2, 3 and 5 have been implemented.
Other interested students and fac- 1. That students be allowed

ulty attended and participated
the discussion. Tlie committee is
cognizant that many rights, re-
sponsibilities and concerns of die
students do not appear on the pres-
ent list of demands, but because of
the time element, it addressed it-
self only to a discussion of the
demands listed and the rights and
responsibilities related thereto. It
is in this vein that this material is
presented.

1- We demand the immediate
filing of the Dean of Faculty.

1. The committee felt that even
if it were possible to accede lo
the first demand, the evidence
given thus far did not justify such
action. Any student who feels he
has a justifiable complaint about
any administrative office has tlie
right to submit said complaint to
the |)resident, and the responsibil-
ity to offer evidence to supjiort it.
If he is dissatisfied wilh liie aclion
taken by llie president, he may ap-
peal lo ihe Board of Regents. By
die same token, a student who feels
he has a justifiable complaint
about the president has die right
to appeal directly to the Board of
Regents and the responsibility lo
present evidence.

After a lengthy discussion, it
was felt that much of the dissatis-
faction was due lo inadequate
counseling, most of which should
have been handled at die depart-
mental level; therefore, it recom-
mends that each department im-
mediately initiate machinery that
\*'ill strengthen its counseling serv-
ices and make a vigorous effort to
i-omniunicate this information lo
the students who are in the depart-
ment. The problem of communi-
cation would be alleviated if each
de[>artmenl or division head were
provided sufficient help to assure
that someone is in the office
throughout ihe school day.

2. We demand that the present
system of calculating scholastic av-
erages be abolished.

to drop courses in which they
are enrolled any time during the
quarter except the last two
weeks prior to final examina-
tions.

2. Tliat in calculating the cu-
mulative averages, only the
highest grade made in a re-
peated course be used.

3. That all students be al-
lowed an unlimited number of
cuts.

3. We demand that all classes
be cut free or unlimited cuts.

3. Taken care of by Academic
Council and faculty vote.

4. We demand that all instruc-
tors show all tests taken by stu-
dents.

4. The demand that all instruc-
tors show all tests taken by stu-
dents was discussed, and the com-
mittee recommended that all tests
taken should be graded and made
available to students as soon there-
after as possible.

5. We demand that students be
allowed lo drop a course up lo 5
days before classes end.

5. Taken care of by action of
Academic Council and faculty
vote.

6. We demand that the ten-
minute rule apply to all instruc-
tors.

6. Students have the right to
leave a class ten minutes after tlie
time for class lo begin without
fear of penalty if the instructor is
not in the class.

7. We demand that all depart-
ments do away with standardized
tests, because they are geared for
the white middle class student.

7. The importance of improving
one's ability to take standardized
tests indicates ihe need lo increase
rather than reduce the frequency
of ibis exposure. Admission lo
graduate schools, qualifying for
the higher levels of employment
and promotions in certain jobs are
contingent on test scores. Tliere-
fore, die committee recommends
lliat instructors be encouraged to

administer standardized tests in all
areas, and that materials of courses
be related to that which the test is
designed to measure whetlier such
tests are standardized or teacher
constructed.

8. We demand that 99 courses
be counted toward graduation by
upgrading them to 100 courses,
thus making them count toward
graduation and giving the students
their money's worth.

8. Ninety-nine (99) courses are
in reality giving the students a
second chance for college work
and cannot be counted for college
credit without jeopardizing the
school's accreditation. These
courses are numbered below 100
because they do not represent col-
lege level work. The committee
feels that the freshman orientation
and the counseling program should
provide the student with informa-
tion about the reasons for their
being placed in these courses and
the importance of doing their best
on the tests in order lo eliminate
the necessity for sub-college work.
9. We demand the establish-
ment of a Grade Review Board
having the power to change un-
fair, unjust, and biased grades.

9. The committee feels that [he
strengthening of the counseling
services by the departments will
eliminate most of tlie dissatisfac-
tion about unfair and unjust
grades. However, the student has
the right to appeal a grade which
he feels is unjust, unfair or biased
through channels from the depart-
ment head to the Academic Coun-
cil, and the responsibility lo have
supporting evidence. In cases
where examinations have been re-
turned to the instructor, the in-
structor has the responsibility to
produce all such evidence on
which grades in the class were
computed.

10. We demand tliat the Book
Store buy paperback books so that
the cost of Ie.\lbooks won't be so

high.

10. The committee recommends
that the Book Store purchase pa-

COACH LEO RICHARDSON

Richardson Is SIAC Coach of the Year

By Augustus Howard
Coach Leo Richardson, prob-
ably the best coach in the South
when you consider his accomplish-
ments, was named the Southern
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
Coach of the Year for the 1969-70
season in basketball.

Coach Richardson was named
SEAC Coach of the Year last sea-
son, and lo he named the best
coach in two different conferences
in two different seasons just has
to be extraordinary. He also won
the honor in V)b^ in ihe SEAC
and he did it in football in 1967.
Coach Richardson wants to
Ihank Wilton Scott, Director of
Public Relations, Asst. Coach Carl
Crump and the many others who
contributed lo the Tiger cause. He
commented that winning the
award was the result of his players
working hard seven days per week.
Commenting on Vincent White
being named the tournament's
Most Valuable Flayer, he said that
in his opinion White truly and

rightly deserved ihe award. He
said ihal While is a dedicated alh-
lele, a gentleman, and that he
works at basketball twelve months
a year. He also commented that
it was too bad that there couldn't
have been two awards because of
the fine piay of Michael Jordan
who was on the All-Tournament
team. Discussing Harper's award,
he said that he also deserved being
named to the second team. He
slated that Harper is a dedicated
athlete and that he progressed real
well in spite of his slow start. He
also expressed resenlmenl in Kel-
sey "The Kid" Stevens not being
named to any team.

Expressing shock at learning
that SSC finished with a .590 field
goal percentage, he said that when
the season began, he never
dreamed (hat he had such great
shooters. He remarked that tliis
was his first lime in nine years
working on offense first because
he didn't anticipate such good
shooters on the learn.

A yood c\iiiii]i!l' of True Blurk

This fact is heiiij; proved every

inlo a sport (that has been previ-
ously dominated hy W'liites) and
excels he is showing liow the op-
pressed minority race of Blacks

Could any White have endured

The former may not seem as a
fiooii example of IJIack Power, but
the essence of Black Power to n
Black is provinp himself. Any time
a Black shows he has got the abil-
ity and the strength to do this is
Black Power. Forgetting about the
past and concentrating on the fu-
ture is the only means for the
Black to move ahead. Overlooking
internal conflicts and prejudices
will be another way for them to
esliibit Black Power.

Congratulations should be rv-
tended lo all the players on llie
Tigers' basketball team who
showed they had ivhat it takes to
prove Blacks will no longer hold

holtom of tlie ladder of success.
W hen all Blacks slart thinking ibis

In conclusion, come together,

feeling the situation through.

L^ok toward those leaders whom
all people sbareil love for. Men
like John Kennedy, Martin Luther

Like stars of the night as the

if their philosophies of how the

and of how human relationships
should be could have changed the

Life and Loves of

By Cecil Brown
"All is jive." Jive is hypocrisy,
lies, put-ons. false names, phony
belief and perhajis real beliefs
too. Jive is also living, slaying
alive. Jive is especially living as
a Black man in White society.
Jive is what Cecil Brown's first
novel is about. "I was thinking,"
says George Washington, his
Black narrator, near the end of
the novel, "that I'd write a novel,
a book about the race problems
with a dynamite slick concealed
inside il. 1 mean, a real stick of
dynamite."

Washington, a Black from the
rural South, drifts up to Harlem
and becomes, variously, a jazz
player, hustler, an encyclopedia
salesman, a self-sl>led Princeton
graduate. When he has lia<l
enough of small-time jiving, be
lakes off for Copenhagen to find
out if everyone in the world lies
as much as he lies in his dedicated
search for invisibility. Copenhagen
also becomes a lie for him, at last.

The prccautidus the establish-
ment took came too late. The
statements of regret came too late.
Could it have been that these men
had served their purpose, which
was to relate to America what was
going on. then let America fight
her own way out with leaders who
had wished secretly in some form
or fashion they could have been
eliminated?

Just as the tide runs back
toward the greater depths of the
sea. so these three men embarked
from the shore of life unto an
island of non-existence. As we
look upon die incidents that have
occurred since their departure, one
wonders if ihey could have
changed it all? Could they have
found a smoother way for Blacks
to become equal widiout so much
verbal and violent dissension?
Could they have found a way for
our foreign policy to become a
symbol of reassurance instead of
an object of criticism? Could
they have found a way for our
commitment in South Vietnam to

Alpha Phi Omega Bennice Fra-
ternity introduced for the first
time a unique experience for the
boys and girls in care at the
Chatham County Youth Detention
Center. 1.3 L5 Intermediate Road.
Curt Burton, president of the
service fraternity, along with his
brothers realized that many under-
privileged juveniles are anxious
toward college students and resort
to feelings of inferiority. Tins
usually results in distorted
opinions concerning college as a
goal. Curt and his brothers teamed
themselves with their sisters, the
Gamma Sigma Sigmas. and intro-
du<ed the b..ys and girls to a
banquet fit for a "King." The
banquet idea gave the juveniles a
chance to socialize with college
peo|)le and naturally their fears
were alleviated. The children
demonstrated their feelings by
asking many questions about Sa-
vannah State College and each
child adopted a big brother and
big sister fiom the fraternity and
sorority for the occasion.

Upon arrival, the group found
the building elaborately decorated.
The banquet tables formed a "T,"
to symbolize ".togetherness." The
tables were covered with while
linen table cloths and white linen
napkins were folded in such a way
lo resemble the head piece worn
by a cardinal. Spanish moss, ivy
and small Christmas lights formed
the center piece for the tables.
From the ceiling hung many red,
white, and blue bails. Oilier silver
and gold decorations throughout
ihc center added to its attrailive-
nes^.

The affair hosted two guests of

Morris Russell of 602 West 37^lh

time veteran of Vietnam appeared
in full military regalia and in-
spired the juveniles with many
impressive remarks. Behind the
head table, one could see and feel
the vibrations of a person of
venerated status, a person of poise,

lo overcome each temptation. "The
only way to keep your strength
is to give; never accept anything
from anybody." Yet he does ac-

Miss Viregenia Bryant, our Miss
Savannah Slate, emanated a love-

image that encompassed this in-
stitution's ideals both past and

began to speak, a quiet gripped
the audience that prepared souls
and opened hearts to receive the
articulations of hundreds of years
of "Black Educators." The chil-
dren were then entertained with
Christmas songs and stories by
the group with such solemn rever-
ence that the eyes of the children
were moist with emotion.

Bann Nobles, a reporter for the
Savannah Morning News, also a
talented folk song writer-singer
soothed the audience with original
songs. The lyrics made mention
of yesteryear's conditions which
gave society the pain of today and
the love, brotherhood, and to-
getherness needed to heal social
wounds manifested within the
realm of prolonged pain. Pat

Maybe they could not have
found a way, but has the present
administration or did the Johnson
administration? Could these ad-
ministrations have forgotten tliese
men who in many respects surpass
their insights into internal and ex-
ternal affairs? In a hasty effort
to do their own thing those ad-
ministrations have succeeded in
blotting out the ideas of tliese
three human beings.

Just as a red golden leaf of
autumn floats down to the ground,
these three men floated downward
from the tree of life. Their desires
could have been for someone to
take uj) tlieir banners and continue
striving for their goal with new
and needed variations. Black or
White, it does not matter who
picks up the banners to cause this
world lo come together. Others
have played with it and made a
mockery of jl too long.

The question still remains un-
answered in the mind of many in-
dividuals. Could "John, Martin
and Bobby" have changed the
world? At this point of our exist-
ence no one will ever know. How-
ever, one should hope others will
take up their banners and keep
marching onward so that their
thoughts, ideals, and standards
will not walk softly into the hori-
zons as ihey have done.

BOOK REVIEW

By Debbye G. Richardson
Black Hercuh's, by Stuart Jason.

The bulk of this novel takes
place on a plantation called Lark-
land about fifteen miles from New
Orleans in 1052. A set of twins,
brother and sister, inherited the
plantation. Eventually, there were
four masters of Larkland: Buford
Cottonwood, heir to the planta-
tion who turned il into the worst
slave pen ever; Lark Cottonwood,
Buford's twin sister, bound to him
only by lust and jealousy; Lucy-
Belle Deblanc, who was selfish
and greedy and the only wife Lark
would permit her brother to have;
Francoise Deblanc, the mistress of
Buford and the octoroon half-
sister of Lucy-Belle. The big house
was ruled by selfishness, greed,
incest, lust and murder. There
was a gigantic slave mute but in-
telligent. This Black Hercules
played his part well by being the
destroyer who stopped evil which
never attempted to rise again.

Is This A
Graveyard?

By Harry James, HI

A graveyard is known as a
place for the dead to be put away
and forgotten entirely. More and
more the students of Savannah
State College are feeling the effects
of living in a college graveyard
daily.

Oulside of sports there is hardly
anything to keep the active young
adult here at the college by the
sea. Savannah State College is
getting to be known as one of the
dullest campuses in the Southeast.

A good question we should be
concerned with is where out stu-
dent activity fee money is going
or in whose pocket is it grmving.
We students are required lo pay
a fifteen dollar student activity
fee per year. We have approxi-
mately 2600 students here. This
is about S39,000 dollars that is
supposed to be spent toward
campus entertainment for the stu-
dents per year.

There are frequent complaints
about we never have any good
dances, are poorly attended when
we are lucky enough to have one.
A great part of the blame should
go to the persons in charge of
allocating the funds, and the peo-
ple who plan these groovy dances
although you can't even hear the
music unless you stand on top of
the juke box.

A large majority of the students
were completely disappointed
after the basketball game between
Florida A and M and SSC.
Throughout the game the Tigers
were listening for some sign that
there would be a dance after the
game. But as usual none material-
ised much to the dismay of the
packed gym.

There are events planned all
the time, but you can't get any
satisfaction out of saying two
months from now we are going
lo do this. What about today!
Must we sit back and talk about
what entertainers other colleges
are having? We Tigers would like
to roar every now and then, too!

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Student Government Reports --Student Congress Activities

Page 3

The Student Congress met at
6:00 p.m. on Fehru".iry 16, 1970
in Meld rim Auditorium, The
center of discussion was amend-
ments to the Coiistitmion of the
SSC Stu<lent Government Associa-
tion and llie list of demands.

Speaker of the House. Sophia
Waye. called the meeting: to order.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved. The
Mouse was then opened for dis-
cussion.

The first topic was that of con-
stitutional amendments. It was
hroughl to the attention of the
Congress by the President of the
SCA. Ronald Clark, at the Febru-
ary 5th meeting that some re-
\isions to tlie constitution should
be considered. Therefore, this
business was foremost on the
agenda. The suggested amend-
ments ma<le by President Clark
were the following;

1. That Miss SSC be requiretl to
reign throughout the regular
school term,

2. Tliat no student hold two
major campus offices in the same
academic year (president of the
SGA or vice president of the SCA.
Miss SSC. editors of the Tiger or
Tiger's Roar).

3. That the presence of a
([uorum should not be compulsory
for a Congress meeting.

4. That the Student Congress
should have a budget.

All of the recommended arnetid-
ments were passed by the Student
Congress. We were to make and
vote upon other suggestions for
amendments at the next meeting
after checking the gripe box for
suggestions made by tlie student
body.

The final topic of discussion
was the demands. The Speaker of

the Mouse stated her jiosilion on
the demands. She stated that the
dictionary's definition of a vice
president was one empowered to
serve as president in ibat officer's
absence or disability. She said
that her loyally to the office of
vice president would not permit
her to express her personal feel-
ings. She felt that the president
acted because of the inactivity of
the Student Congress, and out of
genuine concern for the welfare
of the student hody. Tbevcfnn-.
she had chosen to asNi^l liiin in
his efforts. She added that the
Student Congress had the power
to ratify or reject bv sim]>le
majority vole of tliose })rc^enl to
constitute a quorum, all rei-om-
meiidations made by the president
of theSGA. However, to that dat.-.
attendance by ihe elected repre-
sentatives had not been of such as
to constitute a quorum during
this school term. She then asked
the Speaker Pro Tem to take
charge of the discussion,

It was slated that the Academic
Council had discussed three of
the items which apjieared on tlie
list of demands in a meeting held
on November 2.S. 1969. On Febru-
ary 5. 1970 that council passed
the following reeonmiendations:

1. That students be allowed lo
drop courses in which they are
enrolled any time during the ijuar-
ter except the last two weeks prior
to final examinations.

2. That in calculating the cunm-
lative averages, only the highest
grade made in a repeated course
be used.

3. That all students be allowed
unlimited cuts.

It was then mentioned that as
elected representatives of the stu-

dent body we should \ote on the
demands. We should delete the
non-negoliable ones, ])araphrase
the others and select a commilier
to present tliem to President
Howard Jordan. The motion was
carried and the following demands
were deleted.

1. We demand the immc<liatc
firing of the Oean of Faculty.

2. We .lemand that 99 courses
he counted toward graduation u|i-
grading them lo loft courses, thus
making them count lowartl gradu-
ation.

^^. We demand that all de|)art.
menis do away with standardized
lesls, because they arc -ieared fur
the white middle class Mmlent.

4. We demand the establishment
of a Grade Review Board having
the power lo change unfair, un-
just and bias grades.

S. We demand that all female^
have no curfew limitations.

6, We demanri that the school
set up a fund for those students
going lo graduate school so that
the problem of application fees
will cease lo be a problem.

7. We demand the immediate
firing of the following instructors:
Dr. Rand. Mrs. Owens, Dr. Hayes,
Dr. Ilrailhwaite, Miss Davis, Mrs.
Hamilton. Dr. Mopson. Mr.
Mason, Dr. Sarlor, Dr. Williams
and Dr. Dean.

H. We demand the establishnicnl
of student committees to make
rules and regulations fur the
President and Dean.

9. We demand that students
have the right lo pay tuition
based on the ability to pay and
not simie set price.

10. We demand the establish-
ment of comfortable lounges for

day >ludenl- serving free coffee
and doughnuts daily.

11. We demand financial assist-
ance to all sludenls that need aid.

12. We demand free bus trans-
portation or subsidized bus tickets
for city students.

13. We demand that all shident^
be allowed In pledge regardless
of their averages.

11. We demand that ihe grading
scah'go no lower tlian "D" having
Ihe same ainonnl of (pialilv jminls.

ir.. We demand dial open
ilornntories he establisbed permil-
iiig students of the o|)posil(' sex
lo visit one another in their rooms.

16. We demand that upon
graduation each student be
guaranlced gainful employment.

Commillee nu-ndjers volun-
teered and decided to meet on the
following day at 6:00 |i.ni. The
Speaker of the House stated that
she had a class al that hour, but
would leave her office door open.

The meeting was adjourned.

A memorandum was written by
the Speaker of the Mouse lo the
members of the committee on de-
mands wbicli was lefi on her office
desk.

The memoramlum read:

You are ex|)ecled to do the
following: (1) count up the re-
sults of the voting done by mem-
bers of the student body on the
feasible demands; |2) form a new
list of demands by tallying the
results of the student body's
voting with that of IJie voting

done by members of the Student
Congres.s on a .SO-.SO percentage
Imsis; (3) add additional but
reasonable demands as indicated
on the backs of ihc demand lists
of voting members of the student
body and/or as voted upon by
tlie majority of the committee
members present and (4) reword
demands for less obscureness only
in the event of poor grammatically
structured sentences.

1 lia\(' sufficient evidence to
lielii-ve that President Jordan does
not want lo discuss the demands
with any group represeiiling SCA
unless it is headed nnd/or ap-
poinletl by the president of tlie
SGA. It is for this reason that I
am not giving you permission to
discuss anything with President
Jordan as representatives of the
Student Congress. You may leave

However, the conimiltec did not

Public Negro Colleges Launch Campaigns for Private Funds

"The numlier of black students
who will drop out of my school
ibis fall is equal to the number
of black students at Harvard,
MIT, Brandeis. and the main
campus of the University of Vir-
ginia. . . . We could keep most
of them for another S5(X) apiece,
but we don't have it." The presi-
dent of Central Slate University,

By Philip W. Semas

"If all the black students at
Harvard, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, Brandeis, and the
main campus of the University of
Virginia were to suddenly drop
out of college, there would be
headlines all over the countiy,"
says Herman R. Branson, presi-
dent of Central State University,
a predominantly Negro institution
in Ohio. "But the number of
black students who will drop out
of my school this fall is equal to
the number of black students al
those four schools and nothing
will be said about it."

Most of these students, he adds.
do not drop out for academic
reasons. They drop out because
they can't afford to stay in col-
lege, "We Could keep most of
them for another S500 apiece," he
says, "but we don't have it."

Central Stale is one of 34 public
Negro colleges located in 19
slates. These colleges enroll ap-
proximately one-third of all the
Negro students in higlier educa-
tion, according to Herman B.
Smith, Jr., director of the Office
for Advancement of Public Negro
Colleges here. Mr. Smith's office
was established by the National
Association of State Universities
and Land-Grant Colleges in July,
1960, to help the public Negro
colleges get more financial sup-
port from private sources,

Mr. Smilh says most of the
[lublic Negro colleges get less than
one per cent of their income from
private philanthropy.

"The white schools get private
funds to enrich their programs,"

sa\s Lewis C. Dowdy, president
of North Carolina A&T Slate Uni-
versity, "but somebody expects us
to have good programs without
private funds coming in lo enrich
our programs,"

Part of the reason for ibis lack
of private support, Mr. Smilh
says, is that, in ihe past, these
colleges have not been very active
in seeking private support. Thai
is changing, however, as several
have launched campaigns for sup-
port from local communities,
alumni, corporations, and founda-
tions partly as a result of work
by Mr. Smith's office.

Another problem has been that
the public colleges do not belong
to the United Negro College Fund,
a combination of 36 private col-
leges. Although Mr. Smith em-
phasizes that his office is not
competing with ihe fund, he says
many private givers have assumed
tiiey were supporting all of Negro
higher education through gifts to
the fund.

Good Response Reported
Mr, Smith says he is "beginning
to gel a good response" to his
office's efforts in behalf of the
public Negro colleges.

He estimates that bis office lias
stimulated about S3 million in
gifts and grants to public Negro
colleges since it was founded. Of
that, about half has come from
the W. K. Kellogg Foundation,
which also has given 5180,000 to
support Mr. Smith's office.

The Office for Advancement of
Public .Negro Colleges does not
do any fund-raising itself. Instead,
it attempts to publicize the con-
tributions., programs, and needs
of ihe public Negro colleges and
encourages the individual colleges
lo apply for grants.
Mote Business Support Sought
Mr. Smilh has brought founda-
tions and colleges togi'lher on
several occasions. Me has helped
make the colleges aware of what
can be done lo develop private
support and frequently suggested
foundations, corporations, and

government agencies from which
they might obtain grants. All but
two of the 3-1 colleges now have
full-time fund-raisers.

Although the bulk of the private
suj)porl for these colleges has
come from the foundations, Mr.
Smith has launched a major effort
to increase support from business.

He is holding a series of
luncheons around ihe country at
wliich he and Negro college presi-
dents explain the needs and pro-
grams of the Colleges. "We tell
them. "If you don'l invest in ihese
colleges and make it possible for
Negroes to get an eilucalion, you
will be supporting them on the
welfare rolls with your taxes',"
he says.
More Degrees in Business Fields

A booklet entitled Business
Opporluiiilics Unlimilcd, pub-
lished by Mr. Smith's office,
points out that the number of
public Negro colleges offering
degrees in business-related fields
has grown rapidly in the last 15
years, and the percentage of de-
grees in business-related fields has
grown from 3.4 lo H..5 per cent of
the total degrees offered by these
colleges.

Thus, with more and more
business looking for Negroes for
higher levels of management, the
booklet argues, ihej' would be well
advised to invest in the public
Negro colleges.

This booklet is typical of Mr.
Smitli's approach lo stimulating
private support. It emphasizes the
contributions the colleges have
made, while also noting that "ihey
have the potential . . . lo make
even greater contributions," i f
ihey had sufficient funds.

"The black colleges, |)ublic and
private, have produced most of
the black leaders and professionals
in this country," Mr. Branson
says. "People have to get over the
idea that we can do it for a
nickel."
Not Looking for Survival Funds'

Unlike some of the private
Negro colleges, the public col-

leges "are not looking for survival
funds." says M. Maceo Nance,
president of South Carolina State
College.

What they need are funds lo
improve their academic programs,
increase student aid, and ini])rove
faculty salaries.

Full professors al public Negro
colleges now make about S2,500
less than full professors at pre-
dominantly white public liberal
arts colleges. In addition, a fad
book published by Mr. Smith's
office notes that "recent efforts
by major institutions lo attract
black faculty ihreaten to siphon
off many of the outstanding
faculty members al public Negro
colleges,"

The public Negro colleges get
about half their money from stale
lax funds. The amount of money
ihey receive has increased since
most stales have adopted formulas
for appropriations for higher
education.

"Once there was just an unecfual
distribution of funds." says John
A. Peoples, Jr., presi<lenl of
Jackson State College. "The
formulas have improved ihat
somewhat."

Use of Formulas Creates
Problems

But the use of formulas also
creates some problems for the
Negro colleges. Central State's Mr.
Branson says the formulas have
"maintained the inequities"
created by the previous unequal
distribution of funds and the
slates are unwilling to provide
"catch-up" funds.

"The slate formulas are
weighted against us," he adds,
because they provide more funds
for u|tper-di vision and graduate
education than for lower-division
students.

"We are charged with leaching
the so-called high-risk students."
Mr. Nance says. "We need smaller
classes, so we can't liave the same
student-teacher ratios as the other
colleges."

Although they ho|R' to generate
greater stale sup|iort, the presi-
dents of many of ihe public Negro
colleges note thai all public in-
stitutions are having a hard lime
gelling increased funds.

Federal Support Needed

"We need federal sup|iort to
gel [he funds we need," Mr. Bran-
son says.

Federal support will probably
have lo he in the form of institu-
tional grants rather than the re-
search grants through which much
federal money is channeled to pre-
dominantly white institutions.

"We're having difficulty gelling
research funds because we don't
have funds to get the faculty who
can do the research," says South
Carolina Slate's Mr. Nance.

Mr. Smilh is optimistic about
the prospects of gaining increased
financial support from both public
and private sources.

"Enrollments are increasing and
the colleges are improving their
curricula," he says. "The nation
is becoming more sensitive to the
needs of the public Negro colleges.
Even the federal government is
going to become more aware of
ihese needs."

THE TIGERS ROAR

Report on Demands by Special Comniittee-

Page 5

perback textbooks whenever pos-
sible. This recommendation *vas
accepted and will be implemented
immediately.

11. We demand that all females
have no curfew limitations.

11. Tlie committee reviewed the
curfew rej;ulations of colleges with
dormitories in iJie University Sys-
tem and co|>ies of the rej;ulations
are beinj; circulated to the dormi-
tories. Wlieie current regulations
are not being adhered to, action
has alreatly been taken lo assure
proper implementation by the dur-
niitory staff.

12. We demand that all new
buildings in the future be named
after black people.

12. The committee feels that
the optioning of non-Black names
should be left open and that the
regulation be adhered to as |)res-
ently stated: "Students, Faculty
and Alumni suggest names which
are submitted to the Board of Re-
gents for ap|)roval."

13. We demand that the present
system of registration be changed
to a more workable and feasible
one.

13. A modified registration sys-
tem which the committee feels will
be more workable and feasible
will be implemented. The pre-
registration system which is now
in process should contribute to a
more successful registration.

14. We demand that tlie school
set up a fund for those students
going to graduate school so that
the problem of application fees
will cease being a problem.

14. The committee hopes that
in the near future monies can be
procured from some source to set
up a Graduate School Application
Fee Service. If and when the fund
is established, guidelines must be
set up by which this fund will be
administered. Such monies cannot
be obtained from State funds.
Greek Letter Organizations, gradu-
ating classes or other such groups
are possible sources for such
funds.

15. We demand the immediate
firing of the following instructors:
Dr. Rand, Mrs. Owens, Dr. Hayes,
Dr. Brailliwaite. Miss Davis, Mrs.
Hamilton. Dr. Hopson, Mr. Ma-
son, Dr. Sartor, Dr. Williams, Dr.
Dean.

15. The committee cannot en-
dorse the wholesale firing of in-
structors, ilowever, whenever spe-
cific charges are brought against
these instructors, immediate action
will be taken by the person with
whom the charges are filed.

Any student who feels he has a
justifiable complaint about any in-
structor has the right to submit
said complaint lo tlie Department
Head. If he is not satisfied with
the action taken by [he Depart-
ment Head, he may appeal to the
Division Chairman, If lie feels
that he is still dissatisfied with the
decision, he may go to the Dean
of Faculty and on to the President
and finally to the Board of Re-
gents. If the instructor happens to
be the Department Head or Divi-
sion Chairman, the student moves
on to the next person in conunand.
More, the student can always reg-
ister any grievance with the Stu-
dent Government Association anil
either proceed on his own or have
the Student Government Associa-
tion represent him. An investiga-
tion respecting the chain of com-
mand will be made.

16. We demand the student
rights to pay tuition based on the
ability to pay and not some set
price.

16. The committee rejected this
demand. Regulations concerning
tuition are the responsibility of the
Board of Regents.

17. We demand the establish-
ment of student committees lo
make rule* and regulations for the
President and Dean.

17. With the implementation of
Number 1. and effective student
participation on committees, this
committee feels tliere will be no
need for demand Number 17.

(ConUmu',l from P.ig^- I)
18. We demand die establish-
ment of the following departments:
History, Psycholog)-, and Econom-
ics.

18. Work is presently being
done on establishing departments
of History. ICconomics and Sociol-
ogy. Additional courses in Psy-
cliology will be added.

V). We demand the estaUlisli-
ment of comfortable lounges for
day students serving free coffee
and doughnuts daily.

19. Provisions have already
been made for comfortable lounges
for day students. Coffee and
doughnuts will be available at
minimal cost as well as oilier food
ilems at prices competitive with
nearby short-order establishments.

20. We demand free bus trans-
portation or subsidized bus tickets
for city students.

20. The committee realizes that
the cost of free subsidized or bus
transportation is impossible. A
committee will meet and discuss
possibilities of reduced rates with
transit authorities.

21. We demand financial assist-
ance to all students that need aid.

21. Financial assistance is al-
ready available to students who
can demonstrate the need. How-
ever, a student has the right to
appeal directly to the President
any denial of financial assistance
which he feels is discriminatory.

22. We demand that all students
be allowed to pledge regardless of
their average.

2. The committee feels dial the
problem of pledging is not admin-
istrative and should be handled by
the respective Greek Letter Organi-
zation.

23. We demand that open dor-
mitories be established permitting
students of the opposite sex lo
visit one another in their rooms.

23, Our dormitories are not
constructed lo sufficiently insure
the privacy of the occupants to
permit visitations of opposite sex
in the rooms. For example, young

ladies answering telephones or us-
ing lavatories would be required
lo dress. In addition, a young lady
woidd be required to dress for her
roommnte's visitor even if she does
not have guest.

21. We demand that all instruc-
tors have more office hours.

21. The committee approves
this demand that teachers post and
faithfully keep office hours with a
reasonable distribution throughout
the day.

25. We demand diat tlin grad-
ing scale go no lower than "D"
having tlie same amount of quality
points.

25. Tliis demand is impossible
because of the grading system es-
tablished by the University Sys-
tem.

26. We demand that Mr. Wil-
bur McAfw be brought back to
this Institution regardless of the
cost, because he is an asset lo the
students.

26. Mr. Wilbur McAfee is pres-
ently on leave of absence. Based
on information from the President,
Dean of Faculty. Chairman of tlie
Division of Social Sciences and
students, we can expect that Mr.
Wilbur McAfee will return to Sa-
vannah Slato College as of die
summer (piarter 1070,

27. We demand that this Insti-
tution slop [larticipating in the
"Clean-Up" program, hwause it is
misleading lo many black people
in the community.

27. Discussion by student mem-
bers of the commitleo indicated
that this demand was based on
lack of information concerning
benefits ihat have come to the
black community as a result of tlie
Clean-Up Campaign. Tiie Com-
mittee recommends the continued
participation in the campaign and
that a report which is now being
compiled by the CDC be made
available lo the student body upon
its completion.

28. We demand that this Insti-
tution be more involved witli the

SPOTLIGHT ON MR. PAUL N. SMITH

The affair was hosted by Mr.
Paul N. Smith, Guidance Coun-
selor at Savannah Slate College,
who also serves as the supervisor
of the center. Mr. Smith is known
to the children as "Big Brother."

of teaching in the local school
system and working with the
Juvenile Court System of Chatham
County. The children were de-
lighted when Mr. Smith pulled
off his coat and became a waiter,

Die Nigger, Die

By Larry 0. Brown

"Racism systematically verifies
itself when the slave can only
break free by imitating the mas-
ter: by contradicting his own
reality."

These are the words so elo-
quently expressed by Black H. Rap
Brown, one of the most Anti-White
advocates in this country.

Rap Brown discusses in his
book, "Die Nigger Die," the flow
of discrimination in the fight
against the ride of the Black man
to reach the false name, Negro;
the White mans cunning ways of
keeping the "Nigger" fighting one
another, and the Negroes' manner
of life in comparison to the real
blacks.

Rap is blunt and goes on to say,
"Negroes and Whites have unshed
death to all Blacks, to all Niggers.
Their sentiment is Die Nigger Die;
eitlier by becoming a Negro or by
institutionalization or active geno-
cide."

This book, in my opinion, makes
one realize that to be Black in
America is to be a Nigger. To be
a Nigger is to resist both White
and Negro death. It is to be free
in spirit, if not body. Yes, it is
the spirit of resistance which has
prepared Blacks for the ultimate
goat.

for the evening. Mr. Smith was
ably assisted by his staff who
volunteered their services. Mrs.
Frances Hunter, formerly of Sa-
vannah State College, served as
hostess. Mrs. lola Williams, Mrs.
Betty Prathese, formerly of Sa-
vannah State. Mr. Clarence Byrd,
formerly of Savannah Stale, Mr.
James (The Duke) Taylor. Mr.
Eddie B. Collins, a student at Sa-
vannah State and Mrs. Mary Free-
man contributed untimingly to
the occasion. Mrs. Eula Mae
Johnson. Dietician, according to
Mr. Smith, has a tremendous
record for increasing the weight
of the children at the center and
is known throughout Chatham
County for her delicious meals.

Curt Burton and Miss Savannah
Stale extended their thanks to the
following businesses for contribu-
tions made to the banquet: Derst
Baking Company. S t a r 1 a n d
Dairies, Roger Wood Packing
Company, David's Super Market,
National Linen Service. Barrett

(Straight Life) Singleton attended
the banquet as special guests, Mr.
Roosevelt Smith is the father of
Mr. Paul Smith and the father-in-
law of Sergeant Major Morris
Russell. Mr. Harold Singleton is
the manager of Savannah State
College's Bookstore and formerly
served as a probation officer for
the Juvenile Court of Chatham
County.

This observer noticed that Sa-
vannah State has involved itself in
the community and through repre-
sentatives like Viregenia Bryant
and Curt Burton, continued
growth in this area shall be
witnessed.

STUDENTS' BOYCOTT
SERVES AS CATALYST

By Essie Stewart
Until the students' boycott
which occurred February 27, ac-
tions toward finding solutions to
the thirty-four student demands
had been going at a slow pace.
After the boycott a special com-
mittee was formed and provided
solutions which were approved by
the administration, faculty, and
the student body.

A group of SSC students led by
Sophia Wave, Vice President of
the SCA, marched through the
dorms, buildings of class instruc-
tion and then to the office of
President Jordan to begin the boy-
cott called by SGA President Ron-
ald Clark.

Students were requested not to
attend classes. The night before
the boycott, a rally was held in
the Student Center.

There were several minor inci-
dents which occurred that took
away from the intended purpose

of the boycott. The first was the
slashing of a newsman's tire, the
second was that several students
tried to take a maintenance truck,
a fire was started in the trash can
in front of Meldrim and teachers
and other workers were barred
from entering the building.

After being told by President
Jordan's secretary that he would
not be in, students gathered in
front of the administration build-
ing to wait for him. Cars were
used lo prevent traffic around the
college circle. Students began to
play stereo tapes and dance as
they waited for the president.

After President Jordan's arrival
an assembly was called to dis4^uss
the demands. The Vice-President
of the SGA's main concern was
President Jordan's position on the
34 student demands issued by the
Student Government Association.
The main statement issued by
President Jordan was his idea of
a student-faculty committee to
view the demands ; however, it
was not carried through.

March 1, an all college assem-
bly was called to give the solution
to the students' demands. Of the
thirty-four demands, only four
were provided with solutions. Tlie
committee was named "The Watch
Dog Committee" and it will re-
main on the alert to find out stu-
dent needs and to prevent them
from growing into the incident the
college community has just recov-
ered from.

After the assembly classes were
cancelled the rest of the day so the
faculty could have a meeting to
vole on the solutions to demands.
Students learned the next day that
the faculty had approved the solu-
tions.

black community tlirough the so-
cial science curriculum.

28. Tlie commitlee endorses the
suggestion for greater involvement
in the black community. Wherever
applicable, the instructional pro-
gram should assure this involve-
inenL Exam|)les would he partici-
pation in Model Cities Programs,
EOA, Academy of Black Culture,
Uptight Crisis Center, etc.

20. Wo demand that black
speakers (Leroi Jones, Ra|) Brown,
Adam C. Powell) be brought to
this campus to keep black students
abreast of news concerning black
people.

20. The committee endorses this
demand as well as tliat of Number
30 by stating that more black
sjieakers with diversified views be
invited to our campus.

30. We demand that black en-
tertainment be presented during
assembly instead of tlio asinine
speakers we have had in the past.

30. Reference is made to Num-
ber 20.

31. Wc demand that the man-
datory assembly be abolished for
all students regardless of classifi-
cation.

31. In view of the acceptance of
Numbers 20 and 30, the commitlee
feels that the assembly schedule
should remain as stated to insure
an audience of respectable size.

32. We demand that student
lenclicrs he allowed to wear their
hair and clothing in iJie current
fashions regardless of the anti-
quated eusloms of the Chatham
County Hoard of Education.

32. A policy decision will be
sought from the Board of Educa-
tion. In the meantime, liie college
will refrain from enforcing hair
and dress styles and will make an
effort lo assign students to schools
where hair styles and dress fash-
ions will not create a problem.

33. We demand that upon
graduation each student be guar-
anteed gainful employment.

33. The Placement Office is
making every effort to place as
many graduates as possible. All
students should be apprised of
these services and encouraged to
make use of them. However, the
college cannot guarantee employ-
ment to every graduate because of
the diversity in areas where train-
ing is offered. In addition, the
college is now involved in u self-
study, which is scrutinizing all as-
pects of the college curriculum.
Students are encouraged to be-
come involved in the self-study, so
that they may encourage curricu-
lum changes which will help them
to become belter prepared for
gainful employment.

34. We demand that a Used
Book Center be established so
books can be exchanged for a fair
price.

34. The committee endorses the
plan of a separate bulletin board
for posting announcements of
available used books for purchase
or sale. This bulletin board will
be immediately activated. Tliis
plan would serve to eliminate the
necessity to establish a separate
bookstore.

Sa\.iiinab State's ma-^nificent
r(inniii<z. juinpin<z Tijier team
virtually annihilated Florida A&M
in till' lifters last home game of
Ihe l'W;-7(l basketball season. Tlie
'ri};crs look the jianie by a score
of I2I-1()7 in the SSC gym.
Saluiflay, February 22, 1970.

Ihe Tif-ers jumped ahead early
and held iheir lead ihrougliout the
entire paiiie. Their fast play was
used to perfection as they con-
liiiuoiislv made baskets to go
ahead of the Rattlers by 3. then
13, ihen 24 points. SSC had a lead
of {j6-47 at half time and didn't
let up the rest of the game.

The second half found Vincent
White, Michael Jordan and Kelsev
Stevens doing their thing and

leading the Tigers in their attack-
.SSC held a 26 point lead at one
point but the Rattlers narrowed
that to 2n points in a de5|)erate
effort, i^ut their efforts were In
vain as While's hooks constantly
connei led to jM^rfeclion: Jordan's
playing from under the basket was
flawless and Stevens. Frankie
Harper and Ronnie Tillman could
ilo no wrong from wherever tbey
shot.

High point man for the Tigers
was Jordan with 3'J points,
followed by White with 33 and
Harper, Tillman and Stevens
scoring 16, 14 and 12 respectively.
This game boosted the Tigers'
overall record to 15-8 and gave
them a plate in the SIAC tourna-
ment to be played in Alabama.

SSC Takes Cily
Cliainpioiisliip

By IbuT) B. Jam.-. HI

Savannah Stale College com-
pletely embarrassed the Armstrong
Stale College Pirates as exjjecled
by everyone, 89-66. Once again
tlie Tigers are the bi?st basketball
team in Chatham County.

The game being jdayed on
neutral grounds at ihc SporK
Center was surprisingly evenly
pla\ed ihroughoul the first half
with SSC holding a 3.1-32 lead at
the end of the lialf.

The second half proved to he
llie weak Pirates' downfall with
llie Tigers playing great defen-
sively, their feared offensive game
started clicking. During some
parts, the highly rated Tigers were
leading by as much as 16 points.
V^'ilh the Tigers outplaying the
outclassed Pirates in all respects
the Pirates could only foul SSC
players and as a result, Arm-
strong's Bradley and Burke went
out through the foul route.

The Pirates' defense suffered
the whole game as the Tigers'
tenter. White, completely <lonii-
nated both boards and made
numerous hook shots over Arm-
strong's inconsistent center.

Vincent White picked up 25
points. M i c h a e 1 Jordon 24.
Frankie Harper 22 and Kelsey
Stevens 9. For the Pirates, Larry
Burke did manage to slip in 16
points.

Kelsey Stevens with his
dribbling abilities, if he didn't,
should have made the Pirates'
guards go home and practice so
they too, someday, might be able
to handle a ball like a guard
should. Better luck next lime,

In order to have an outstanding
team in any sport, there must be
some exc<'ptional players to carry
the load and burdens of the less
lalented. At Savannah State Col-
lege we were fortunate this current
basketball season to have many
exceptional plajers. I shall give
you readers a run down on the
two juniors which we selected to
the SIAC All Tournament Team.
Vincent While and Michael
Jordan, along with freshman
Frankie Harper are these dedi-
cated players.

Personally knowing these
athletes and traveling with them
throughout the season, I hoi>e you,
the reader will know them better
through this article.

Vincent White weighs a respect-
able 2UU pounds and is a towering
6 ft. 7 in. tall. He graduated
from Alexander Hamilton High
School. At Stale he is majoring in

I'hvHcal Fd. Like all plaver-. he
dreams of pla) ing for a pro team.
He stales be would like to become
a productive member of tiie black
community. To his fans lie is
already a black leader and
resijected individual. His hobbies
include playing records, reading
and basketball as expected.

To be a devoted athlete, you
nmst practice hard. If ever a
player practices hard it is While
who can be found on occasion in
the gym, practicing until early
hours of the morning while others
arc sleeping. The extra practice
has paid off. He led the Tigers in
four dc|)artmenls, most points in
a single game, 41 against Ahibama
State, most field goals in a game,
18 also against ASC, most free
throws against a team, Florida
A&M. 17, and most rebounds in
a game against Claflin, 38.

Also to his endless lionors goes

Watching the Tigers nf Savan-

numerous basketball games, it is
very evident tliat each Tiger has
a unique way of playing. Each
player has that certain something
that will distinguish him from the
other player even if it wasn't true
that tbey were known on sight.

If you were to see a player
dribbling down court and sud-
denl). without warning and per-
fect precision, do three or four
last figure eights then go in for
a stylish layup, you would know
I ha I that player was none other
than Kelsey Stevens, that 6 ft. 130
pound guard from Harlem.
Stevens is the fancy dribbler on
the learn but he doesn't fall short
wdien it comes to performing in
olher ways. "The Kid" is deadly
from anywhere he shoots and he
is bound to connect from wherever
he shoots.

One of the big men on the
niighly Tiger learn lias a way of
blocking as many as six shots in
succession. He also has a danger-
ous hook, dangerous that is, for
a Tiger opponent. It's easy enough
to guess ihal that certain player
is none other than Vincent White.
"The Elevator Man." 6 ft. 7 in..
200 pounds, from Brooklyn, is the
most accurate player, being able
to maneuver a hook shot from
fifteen feet out and over. Re-
bounds are small stuff for this big
man who averages up to 20 re-
bounds plus per game.

If you ever hap|3en to look
under the basket and suddenly see
a hand go up and make two
points, you can guess and very
accurately, that the band belongs
to Michael "Flash" Jordon. This
6 ft. 7 in., 190 pound Los Angeles
man is deadly under the basket
and doesn't do badly from other
positions on the court. His shoot-
ing average shows that he is a

Plajer in the tournament where
he repeatedly outclassed his
opponents. Being unselfish he says
Kelsey Stevens should have made
All-Touinament. Vincent White
feels it is a privilege and an honor
to be on the team.

.Michael Jordan, the other half
of the outstanding duet, was born
in Los Angeles. His hobbies in-
clude dancing, basketball, tennis
and 'girls.' He came to SSC on a
full scholarship. He started at
center for SSC in '6!J. Later on in
the season he moved to forward
when Vincent While became
eligible lo play. He credits his
laleiils to ihe training he bad as
a ciiild. No matter how well he
plays in a game, he feels he could
have played better. Like all players
on the team he respects Coach
Richardson. Jordan thinks Rich-
ardson is an excellent coach and
likes the way the plavers can get
along with him. To him, the
basketball team is one big happy
family.

Like White, Jordan thinks iie^t
year the Tigers should lake every-
thing. He also would like lo play
pro-ball. Jordan is majoring also
in Physical Ed. He is holding
down a B average despite basket-
ball taking a vast amount of bis
time. The scoring whiz is crazy
about campus life here because he
feels he is accepted for what he
is and as a friend. The sometimes
quiet and shy ballplayer would
like to have cheerleaders backing
the team next season. Mr. jordon
has throughout the season rated
among the top scorers in the
NAIA and also the SIAC.

To continue talking about their
honors would he useless because
there are so many. The All-
American candidates are well de.
serving of their lionors and the
whole team as well.

sure shot and definite asset to
the team. Rebounds are no prob-
lem for this man either since he
manages to pull down 19 or so re-
bounds per game.

Give him a corner and he's
ready to go. Of course if he
happens to charge in, he's still
good for two points. But a corner
is his preference, and Frankie
Har[)er is ready to do his thing.
That 6 ft., 175 pound Savannah
fellow has his stuff together as
he shows that it isn't easy to stop
him on his assault whether it's far
away in a corner as he performs
or close up uniier tiie basket.
Wherever he is he puts on a beau-
tifui show.

Look fast now, and you may
be able to see this Tiger in action.
However, you must look quickly
or you may miss one of his
fantastic steals. This Tiger is none
olher llian the lone senior on the
basketliall team, Johnny Abrams.
Standing 6 ft. 5 in., and weigh-
ing 180 pounds, Abrams steals the
show as well as numerous balls
to help the Tigers along whenever
and wherever they need it. Watch-
ing him at work is almost as good
as viewing the Harlem Globe-
trollcrs. Abrams is fantastic.

With these men leading the
magnificent Tigers, it's no sur-
prise that they took the SIAC
championship in Tuskegee. Since
Abrams is the only player that
will be leaving tlie team the Tigers
have a very good chance of re-
peating iheir tournament wins
and again bring home the bacon
next )ear. All ibis depends on
whether or not the Tigers keep
their beautiful, amazing, winning,
individual styles.

SSC KICKS
BETHUNE

Bv Harry B. James. HI

With dutch and timely shoot-
ing of Kelsey Stevens, Vincent
While. Frankie Harper and
Michael Jordon, the Tigers
stopped a 10-game winning streak
in a thriller in the Tigers' gym,
Tuesday, February 10. 1970,
97-94. '

SSC, behind almost the entire
game, stayed a desperate rally to
escape the loss. With a total of
nine Tigers at some lime in the
game, SSC stole the lead 91-90
on a White free throw. Then
Jordon made it 93-90 on a flashy
layup.

Bethune grabbed an early lead
13-8. But wilh Victor Hill playing
like the star he is, distended to
be the Tigers comeback and tied
the score three limes. But at the
end of the half, Bethune-Cookman
held a mistrusting 46-45 halftime
lead.

Bethune players, a little too
fired up, committed fouls in the
fading minutes and White, Stevens
and Harper made pressure-packed
free throws lo keep SSC on top.

Harper made tiie final two free
throws lo insure the victory for
the Tigers. Six Tigers reached
double figures; they were White
20, Stevens 17, Harper 15, Jordon
14, Hill 12 and Kelly 10. While
corralled 20 rebounds also. SSC
liad 55 team rebounds and B-C 4ii.

Thinking about the future, he
stated that the team next season,

Bill Russell Tells It Like It Is

By Aiipii^Uis liouaiil

When Bill Russell ;\ppcaretl be-

Savannah Stale College, lie re-
vealed to evoryone present what
he is a man.

Rapping tri>m n<> prepareil text,
ihe former Boston Celtic great
spoke on the subjects that are of
interest now. He talked about wel-
fare, the moon mess-up, the Black
and white students' role in the
racial disturbances, marijuana and
drugs, the war in Vietnam and o{
course basketball. Listening to the
great sports figure, you realize that
lie is not a myth but reality.

This was Mr. Russell's first lime
ever speaking at an all-Black in-
sliliilion. and the reception, ex-
cepl for one incident, was warm
from everyone in the SSC family.
Even the kin<lergarten kids came
to see the bearded giant.

BILL RUSSELL RAPPING

Who's Watching
The Watchdog

Anyitne with any kind of
political knowletlge knows that a
watchdog committee is a com-
mittee set up by a legislature body
to oversee a governmental func-
tion. Wlio appointed the watchdog
committee? WHO ARE THEY
WATCHING? HOW CAN A
COMiMlTTEE COMPRISED OF
FACULTY MEMBERS, WHO
ARE NOTHING MORE THAN
THE EYES AND EARS OF THE
PRESIDENT, DO ANYTHING
THAT WILL BE FOR THE
BEST INTEREST OF THE STU-
DENT BODY? The person that
probably appointed the commit-
teelhjjrl does not have the stu-
dents at heart. The reason I say
this is because he tried, and suc-
ceeded with some of us, to psycli
us out of those demands that will
help us, one in particular bein^
the demand asking for the firing
of ihc dean of faculty. If you
would read the revised list of de-
mands you will find out that the
administration has given you
about five. Of that five they were
in the process of being approved
when the List of 34 came out.
Most of the demands are now
watered down with phrases such
as, "The committee approves," or
"The committee felt.'* or other
phrases that tell nothing. 1 must
also say that few, if any of the de-
mands that were supposed to be ap-
proved have definite time periods
concerning their implementation.
As things stand now, I can think
of many reasons the WDC com-
mittee was formed, most being
personal reasons: (a) Students
formed or went along with the
committee's program to get back
at me for not consulting them on
the formulation of the demands;
some of the students on the WDC
are supposed to be the ULTRA
BLACK REVOLUTIONARIES on
SSC's campus and they did not
want to miss their opportunities
to get in tlie limelight once again.

Those that wanted to be in the
limelight were in it, as the center
of attraction, playing the parts of
the tools of the president's trickery.
lb I Faculty members are on the
committee and help form tlie com-
mittee to keep arrogant, trouble-
making students from rocking
their boats and positions as the
HEAD NIGGERS IN CHARGE
OF THE LITTLE NIGGERS. It
is no secret that very few faculty
members received salary raises,
and being on this committee is
nothing more than a political and
financial maneuver on their parts
to show the president they are
with his program, no matter how
wrong it may be. When contracts
come out they will say. "Don't
forget boiv we helped you keep
the students down!" Nonetheless,
no matter how much I disagree
w itii the president 1 1 do pro-
fusively I . I must commend him
on the beautiful snow job he pulled
o\er the majority of students.
However, I am deeply concerned
about the strategy the presitlent is
using, because I get the feeling
that he is thinking he is <loing a
wonderful job here at SSC. If this
is the case he has psyched himself.
The building of inadequate build-
ings will not make a better Savan-
nah State College, hut ridding this
institution of inferior instructors
might. I would never take a stand
on this if I did not believe what I
am saying, and know what I am
saying is the truth. Some of us
can fool ourselves with these grade
point averages of 1.000 and 3.333
and those others that are supposed
to be outstanding cumulative aver-
ages, But I know how much Sa-
vannah State INSTRUCTIONAL
STAFF (for the most parti has
given me, ZERO TO THE
ZEROTH POWER, which gives
me the sum of nothing. This school
should be placed among the other
relics in the Museum of Natural
Nothingness. The majority of the
faculty and administrators should
be given LIFE-TIME EMPLOY-
MENT WITH WALT DISNEY'S
WONDERFUL WORLD OF
FANTASY.

a rich white one receiving it. He
said that the answer to the race
problem relies in the hands of
the while college students, He said
that he docs not advocate violence,
but <lo wliat is necessary. Russell
also said ihnt it is the Black stu-
dents' job to see that the while
students do what they arc supposed
lo do.

Russell made it clear that he is
against 'grass' and drugs, and that
we already have a big problem
and do not need to gel another
one, referring to becoming drug
addicts and constant smokers of
pot. He made it plain llial lie is

ing that the Senators who lalk

ihe battlefield and really end it.
Russell, a Iwo-lime All- American
at the University of San Francisco
in lOri.S and I'J.SO, was the first
Black super star in the National
Basketball Association. I'ive limes
from 1W6-57 lo the I')ri8-69 sea-
son, Russell was selected as the

NBA's most outslanding player.

During his 12-year Pro career,
Boston was always regarded as
the NBA's power bouse. The
Celtics won the NBA champion-
ship a record of ten limes during
the Russell era. Boston faltered in
Ihe l%7-.S(i season when the St.
Louis Hawks took the marbles and
in the 1966-67 season when the
Phihidclphia 76'ers put it all to-
g<-llicr.

This was quite a day for Sa-
vannah Slate, anil it made the
otherwise dull school year come
alive. Just imagine, of all the
Black colleges in America

sell's first appearance in an all-

FRESHMEN ATTEND COLUMBIA
SCHOLASTIC PRESS INSTIl UTE

The Columbia Scholastic Press
Institute, held every year at Co-
lumbia University, New York, New
York, was held from March 12-11,
1970. In attendance, rejiresenling
Savannah Slate College were Essie
Stewart and Janice Bryant, both
freshmen at SSC. Mr. Wilton
Scott, director of public relations,
was a consultant for the news-press
workshop. Miss Stewart attended
the section of the institute that
dealt with the better making of a
college newspaper and Miss Bryant
attended the section that dealt with
the yearbook.

The purpose of the institute is
to give the students in attendance
some insight into the functions of
the college press and present new
ways in which to present their
printed materials in an interesting
manner. They also presented facts
concerning opportunities for Black
journalists in today's world.

A panel discussion was pre-
sented on Friday in the news-press
workshop on the role of journal-
ists in today's society. Some in-
teresting facts were presented as
lo some of the benefits of becom-
ing a journalist. The subject of

the discussion was "The Campus
As We Know It." The panel con-
sisted of Ste]hen Golden and I'cter
Talbert, both former reporters for
tlic New York Times. They staled
that the real role of the press is lo
creale and inform elrctoratcs.
They felt that the job of the
student journalist is lo promote
realirtm on the campus.

The main subject in the year-
hook workshops was lo instill the
importance of an effective layout
in the yearbook. Numerous ways
were presented as to ways of
evoking an effective layout.

A luncheon was held on Satur-
day, Marcii If. 1970 at the
Waldorf Astoria for the delegates
and consultants. The main speaker
for the occasion was Lady Jackson-
Barhara Moore. Her subject was
"The Seventies." This subject
covered the space race, pollution,
thi- generation gap, and prospec-
tive events of the 70'5. At the end
of the luncheon awards were pre-
sented to the members of the in-
stitute who excelled in different
facets of the institute. Awards
were also presented to the different
publications who proved to be
outstanding in their fields.

Warning!

By Malinda Floyd
You better watch out! ^ on
l>eller not cry. because il is here,
rij;hl in the midst of all of us at
SSC. S|ring fever is back on
campus and its popularity is grow-
ing. For those of us who don't
know, or haven't heard: Spring;
fever occurs every year durin-; llie
spring season. It affects nearly
everyone young or old. No, il isn't
permanent, hut it does leave ils
scalds or prints or what liave ynu.
Spring fever has been in existence
almost as long as the season spring
has.

The name spring fever was up-
rooted when a young man ^vho
supposedly fell in love during the
spring season, noticed that his
temperalure was a little abnormal;
he went to the <loctor. who after
giving bis patient a thorough and
complete physical, found liim lo
be in very good heallh. So the
young man wondered what was
this mysterious ailment. He asked
his friend who was becoming con-
taminated also. He said "This is
the spring season, and we do have
a mysterious fever, so this must
be ihe incurable spring fever," and
that was the end of that.

Spring fever's symptoms are
easily recognizable: For example,
you have an 8:20 class, but you
don't seem to awaken until 10:20,
etc. After two quarters of sitting
all alone thinking of the weather,
you suddenly meet the girl or boy
of your life. You fall in love at
least four times during a week.
When compiling an assignment
the only thing your pencil will
write is "more fun in the sun, at

Savannah Beach with " you

know how it is. You study less,
but enjoy it more. Your boy-
friend doesn't call and you don't
really care.

So beware, this is a warning.
Don't let spring fever get you.

You Are
Still Black!

By Auguslus Howard
Have you ever noticed how-
Blacks with a little more money
or education ihaii others look
down on less fortunate ones?
These are members of what 1 call
the 'sick' society.

In order for Blacks to gain
ultimate freedom, ihey must at
first gain ultimate 'togetherness.^
As long as some think that they
are heller than others, this ultimate
freedom will never be achieved.

Instead of trying to keep a
Brother down because he doesn't
measure up to 'your' level, you
should take a lesson from whitey
and try to help him. That is our
major [jroblem, when a Brother
is down, we try to keep him down,
and this is an exact opposite of
wiiat the white man does.

The average miildle class Black
doesn't give a rap about his
Brothers below him, but instead
devotes his time trying to impress
his rich white friends. With these
kind of people existing, il leaves
only the poor Blacks to struggle
for the cause- Believe il or not,
some Blacks only participate to
have something lo tell iheir white
friends, which isn't helping at all.

Blacks have to realize that no
matter how rich they get. or how
famous, or how 'in' ihey get with

Confronted with forced inte-
gration being helped by white
institutions, then seeing fellow
flrolhers get gunned down because
they are 'Black Panthers,' the

brought this change?

In the early sixties, our leaders
fell that the only way fr)r us, or
one of the major dctcrminors, for
gaining equality would be our
going in the same places as the
whiles. This meant going to the
same schools, chu relies, restau-
rants, movies, and a vast number
of other places. Wilh strong push-
ing from the NAACP and the
SCLC. led by the late in body but
not in spirit 0r. Martin Luther
King, Jr.. civil rights laws were
passed wherein il was unconslitu-
lional for whites not to lei Blacks
learn, live and socialize with them.
Wherein it required force for
some of these laws to be carried
out like in the case of James
Meredilli, the governnieni look the
initial steps.

During King's non-violent era,
much was accomi>lishcd, and
youthful Blacks, as well as the
establishment, were content in
demonstrating according lo law,
although it meanl getting beat up
and thrown in jail, in jail for only
trying to gel what they deserved.
King drew praise ihe world over
for his accomplishments, and he
even had white sympathizers. But
like all leaders, he died never see-
ing his 'dream' come line, that
dream of black and while living
logelher in harmony.

Many still believed in his
methods after his death, but there
were more, many more, who
balked at taking any more bad
treatment from the while man.

iTaken from "Die Nigger Die,"
by H. Rap Brown)
Before entering college the ques-
tion of race never brought the
feeling of indecisiveness into my
life as il has now. No Whitey ever
came up lo me and said I was
prohibited from sleeping or eating
any place because I was Black.
They would only look at me with
hale in their eyes and made un-
kind remarks. I considered it an
acl of ignorance, then felt some-
what remorse because I was Black
and disadvantaged, not while wilh
muhilu<les of advantages.

As I grew more knowledgeable
aboul I'ncle Tomism I figured it
would get me ahead. I thought it
would obtain money and fame for
me, I As you can see I was brain-
washed.) Once I had those objects,
I decided 1 would sil back, relax,
and just pily ihe less fortunate
Blacks who had not discovered
Ihis method. I had obtained this
theory after observing the Negro
middle class in Savannah.

whiles, ihey are slill 'Black.'
Wliiles love lo try to make fools
of these Black lurncoals, and I
don'l blame them. Many Blacks
have the wrong goals, ihal of striv-
ing lo be accepted by whiles. In
trying to im|)ress whites, they
don'l care how ihey treat members
of their own race and this is why
many Blacks d()n'l like upper class
Blacks. Can you blame them?

Many of you think that an edu-
cation will change the while man's
attilude toward you. but baby,
you're wrong. To ihe average
while, no Black man, no mailer if
he has a Ph.D. or an (NED I,
(no education), is worth anything.
If you don't believe me. just ask
some of our inslruclors with
I'h.D.'s, and then you will see ihat
you are still living in a fantasy
world. Perhaps then you may see
how stupid il is for Blacks to
ignore other Blacks.

To those of you who have
developed these 'I'm better than
he is' attitudes, just remember,
Maynard Jackson, Leroy Johnson,
Julian Bond, all educated Blacks
were nol elected governor, but
Lester Maddox, a junior high drop
out! Think about il!

After entering college I began
to read more literature about the
hardships and pains of my
ancestors. I knew a change in
persomil goals and ambitions was
destined lo come about. Appro.xi-
malely ,SOll years had jiassed and
my )jeople had not advanced. An
admission of Blackness had come
forth in my mind and my heart.

From watching the actions of
this world ihey should be enough
lo cause every Black lo stale a

01 A Man

Floyd McKIssick begins Three-
jijlhs oj u Man wilh a bold and
scathing denunciation of racist
altitudes and jiraclices in America
today. But his provocative new
book is much more than a polemic
against our persistent patterns of
racial injustice. It contains a
powerful and conslructive pro-
posal for solving our nation's
racial crisis through honest ap-
plication of the United Stales
Constitiilion and through Black
Economic Power.

One rf Black America's most
polenl spokesmen, Mr. McKissick,
here draws upon his seventeen
years experience as a constitu-
tional lawyer to demonstrate his
conviction that the Constitution,
the Declaration of Independence,
and a progressive judiciary are
sufficient, in fact supreme, and in
their ability to effect social change
in America today.

"The spirit of the Declaration
and the goals of ihe Constitution

life understand a man who's been
in invisible chains all of his life?"
Colleges and universities accepted
blacks just because they were
black. Even black Vikings ap-
peared on movie screens, and who
ever heard of a black Viking,
except maybe Carl Eller? Have
you ever asked yourself, why?

I believe some whites see it's
no use in hying lo keep us down,
so they see that they might as well
treat us like another white. They
slill feel superior to us, but they
pul on this act, pretending that
they don't. What inks them is our

altitude, this T don't give a

what you think' attitude. They are
polite because ihey think that all
Blacks carry guns and knives, and
they really distrust Blacks with
Afros. No one answers them yes
and no sir but 'colored' people,
and there is a difference in a
Black and 'colored" man. When
you examine the matter closely,
they are acting like this because
of fear, or this appears to be their
molivalion.

This goes back to a Black's
dilemma. The government is forc-
ing whiles to integrate their
schools, and Blacks couldn't give
a rap. They give you what you ask
for moreso now tlian say seven
years ago, yet they murder an
organization because of its name,
The Black Panthers. You then
wonder, should I talk with this
white guy, is he really trying to
be friendly, or is il a 'sham.' You
say, if ! talk with him. what will
my own people say? So you walk
away, confused. You ask, do I
want Black Power or 'together'
power? If you approach a while,
and he acts friendly, do you smile,
and be called a "lorn," or do you
ignore him, and right now
Brolbers, ibis is the right thing
to do.

It is more to being Black than
what is on the surface: there is
this what you may call a 'cold'
war. Dilemmas, dilemmas, and
more dilemmas.

Reflections of
A 1968 Poet

Recapitulatinji, I am.

Myself. My songs.

Just how Iiiph, liow far did they

rcaih. how far did thev soar.

Reflecting.

Making January November,

Making them all one.

Making my songs one.

My songs reach liigh, higher

than I shall ever reach.

And because of this my songs

are an extension of myself.

They loucli the stars, they

go tbroiigli major constellations,

they climb peaks that Mere

once insurmountable.

My songs are me; happy, dejected

awkward, graceful, fulfilled,

drained.

And because of this I am

seen through my songs.

My songs hit like hammerhead

sharks,

My songs walk on tip toe.

My songs sail like wild geese

. . . are as graceful as deer.

My songs are scientific.

My songs search, probe.

My songs reach out for lost

Black souls ... to bring them back

home.

My songs are as fearful as a

scarred woman ... as fearless as

a new man.

My songs come from the gut of

ugliness . . . from the heart

of beauty.

My songs are like me: sensitive.

And because of this I now
reflect

to find out where I am,
where I'm headed . . , which
ilirection.

I now recap my songs
search for ibeir shortcomings
and praise tlieir high points.

I hope my songs have
done all they possibly could
have: searched, probed, sailed, hit
reached the highest stars.

And liope lliat next year
they shall soar even

higher.

Poet's Note

This, what you're .nhout to read.
is me. Now, who knows, next
month moment 1 may have added
another dimension to myself.
Sometbing else to write about.

Moving. With ears and eyes
wide open, hoping lo catch what
otherwise might have been missed.
Bout what is needed. Bout the
Black Revolution. Bout Black love.
Bout us. Hope I've done it well.

On Insecurities

As long lis ! c:iii rt-member
I've been bathed in insecurity.

It has been no stranger to me
Nor I to it.

Like a shadow it may change in
form and sometimes disappear
but one thing is certain
it is there

clinging unto me
being a part of me

as much a part as my legs
my face . . .

It knows me in varied forms . . .
as many as to make my economic
insecurities secondary . , .

Then I have reason to hope again

lo live.
For some inexcusable reason
I trust again,

living with this feeling
through a trying day.

Then when the night is
pregnant with her little ones
I rush to where I'm going
climb the stairs

open the door
wait breathlessly
only to find out
you're
not

there.

SNEA On The Go

On March 12-1:^, I'JTO, three
members of the Mary McLeod
Bethune Chapter of the SNEA at-
tended the state SNEA-FTA meet-
ing held at Paschal Motor Hotel
in Atlanta. Georgia.

Tiie theme for this year's con-
ference w a s "Education for
What?" a most appropriate one
for the young educators of today's
educational society. Many of the
colleges and high schools had good
representatives. Some of our most
prominent speakers were: Tlie
Hon. Ben Brown, Mr. Norman
Ttiomas, Inst. Price High School,
Atlanta, Georgia, notable Lunch-
eon Speaker, and Mr. Charlie
Hicks, President of GT&EA and
Dr. H. E. Tate. E.xecutive Secre-
tary, who reminds us that "wliat
effects one person tonight will
affect others later: and all kinds
of people help to make you what
you are."

Throughout the entire meeting,
many great factors were discussed
and the most important of them
all, was the merger. It was clari-
fied that once a merger of the
Georgia Teacher and Education
Association takes place, the state
SNEA-FTA must also comply, and
that once the merger takes place it
will be known as Georgia Associ-
ation of Educator,

As the three-day-old meeting
came to a close the election of
new state officers was held. Curt-
bert Burton, local president of the
Georgia Student DEA-FTA associ-
ation, the meeting was adjourned
at the notable luncheon inn Satur-
day.

And Time
Jfonldu't Re Still

By Winfred Verrcen
In a time of war and dismay.
In a time of hope and will;
This is the predicament of the

world today.
And time wouldn't be still.

In a time where Father kills son.
In a time where life is stopped by

a pill;
This is the war that is never won.
And lime wouldn't be still.

In a lime wlicn race dispute,
In a time when hatred i^: built;
This is what men constitute.
And time wouldn't he still.

In a time when men fighl for

power,
In a time when faith and hope is

killed:
This isn't the [ilan of our Heavenly

Father.
And time wouldn't be still.

On Black Women

Clothed in the majestic beauty that

surrounds you,
you approach me,
not uttering a word,
allowing your blackness to

speak for you.

Tomorrow's yours, little prince.
Today we'll prepare you

We'll not tell you life is a bed of
roses but tliat you can make it full

We'll not tell you that July 1th is
yours, nor St. Patrick's but that
you have days, & lu-rocs. Your
heroes.

We'll not rush yi'U .uH td life's
raw reality to get you losi in the
lealms of superficiality.
No:

We love you too much for this.
We'll try to tell yon what we
weren't told.

Cr>ntcrnation won't be the order

Truth like a lost baby crying for
it in a whirlwind of lies.

And we'll Icl! yon even though
you may be today's rejection,

says Black America.

"Niggers lie, cheat, and steal.

You will slay hack.
Finil another place to go,"

says White America.

"Negro America,
Situations must change.
Uncle Tomism is out-of-date.
I have rcifornis that will alienate
You from the While man's rule,"
says Black America.

"Nigger child he conlcnt with your

We don't want lo be in a danger-

White America is good.

They are moving in a beautiful
slow [jace.

Nigger child be liappy with your

"They have put me down.

Chucks and Blacks alike.

I will not cry or fret

Bot when tins world is in broiling

They will cry, they will regret.
To hell witti white America,
Negro America I spit in your face.
My cause is strong it will not wait
Free the people is the cry

Even if I must die!"

says Black America.

Wow ! What Serviee

On Friday, April HI, I'JTO, the
Alpha Phi Omega Service Fra-
ternity again involved itself with
meaningful community services.
Curt Burton along with James
Green and Arthur Epps (Torches)
made a dynamic presentation to
the Black Experience by present-
ing lo the boys and girls at the
Chatham County Youth Detention
Center. 1315 Eisenhower Drive,
student gift packs. Burton, his
brothers and tlie Torches are very
familiar faces to the ghetto child
because of their genuine concern
and dedication to finding solutions
to the problems of Black children.
Burton feels that by having col-
lege level Blacks work with the
families, this association will
bring about the children identify-
ing with and realizing obtainable
goals. Burton was superb in his
remarks to the group and did a
wonderful job of selling "con-
tinued education" to the children
with completion of a degree pro-
gram at Savannah State College.
I Smile Dr. J. Curt is good P.R.
man. I Dean W. R. Freeman made
tlic initial arrangements for the
presentation and sent warm re-
gards to the children in vave at
the center by Mr. Paul W. Smith,
our Guidance Counselor and As-
sistant Director of Placement,
who also serves as supervisor of

If Hhicks are ever to eslahlish
themselves in this society lo create
reform or initiate a revolution,
now is the time to do so. One
hopp-s that it does not j-et as mis-
f;ui<led as Christopher Columbus
who went lookin;; for India, and
fiol lo the New World and ihouylU
it was India.

Blacks must disrcfiard the pily-
ing and aceusinf; looks of While

America. It musl stand and say lo
tlic rotten system. Hell No! Blacks
must do this talkinj; wilh bravery

minds and fear in their little toe.
Blacks have been slaves loo lotij;
to the incompetent, inefficient, and
ijinoranl Wliile America and
Negro America. The members of
Negro America are enslaved too.
but they want to kiss While
America's feel. Black America has
lo establish itself against the Uncle
Toming iNegro America. It shoulil
try to convince llie brothers and
sisters of Negro America lo conic
out of their Civil War bag. Black
America must convince them to
alienate themselves from asinine
ideals and actions |)as:^ed on lo
members of Negro America by its
Uncle Toming pre<lecessors. 1 f
Negro America does not accept,
ihe battle still is not losi.

It is lime for readions from
Black America verbally and vio-
lently. Liberation fiom the op-
pressors will be obtained llirough
any means. As college students, il
is up lo you us a reader lo decide
where you will stand. There is no
hiding place for you. '^ ou must
indicate w here your commitment

only two ultimatums now or

hopes the cause of Black America
will not be defeated by White and
Negro America.

VA Educational Allowances Bill Signed

More than 777,000 veterans
servicemen, wives, widows and
children will receive increased edu-
cational allowances under a Bill
signed recently by the President.

All trainees under the G. I. Bill
and other VA educational pro-
grams were assured by Donald E.
Johnson, Administrator of Veter-
ans Affairs, that they will receive
the increases automatically and
retroactive to Feb. 1. He stressed
that it is not necessary lo contact
the VA lo receive them.

Johnson said most of those
studying under the G. I. Bill in
institutions of higher learning will
receive one check about May 10,
whicli will reflect the new regular
monthly rale, and include retro-
active increases from February
through April.

Veterans studying below college
level, including apprentice, on-the-
job and cooperative trainees, must
certify their attendance lo llie VA
every month to be eligible for edu-
cation allowance payments.

The VA Administrator said this
group also will receive one check
around May 10 at the new rates,
including the retroactive increases,
pro\iding their allendance has
been certified llirough April.

However, the VA official ex-
plained thai some trainees below
college level will receive pay ad-
justments in two checks, because
the VA w ill not receive llieir
monlhly attentlance certifications
in lime lo include the increase in
the first check.

The rate for a single veteran
under the vocational rehabilitation
program was increased from Si 10
to SI35 a month for full-time stu-
denls. A veteran with one depend-
ent will receive S181 a month, two
dependents S21U, and S6 more for
each additional dependent. These
rates are also scaled downward for
less than full-time students.

For wives, widows and children
receiving allowances under the de-
pendents educational assistance
program, the new monlhly rates
for full-time students arc S175,
ihree-ipiarler time studenls 8128,
and half-time students SBl.

The new law also sets up special
programs for servicemen with edu-
cational handicaps. One, the pre-
discharge education program, pays
for schooling of educationally dis-
advantaged servicemen before dis-
charge without charge lo their
earned basic entitlement.

In addition, the law provides
for an intensification of VA's
"outreach" program to contact and
counsel veterans, widows, and
children of certain disabled veter-
ans about Government education
and training opportunities.

Peace! Brothers

By Gus Howard
When you see me walking
around in my 'peace" sweatshirt,
don't get the impression thai I'm
against the cause, what I'm em-
j)hasizing is peace between us,
"Black" people.

Confusion is the main fault that
has kept Black people from getting
together, and this confusion in
turn brings on division, which in
turn doesn't help the cause any.
When lliis happens, people get
false impressions concerning cer-
tain matters, and this only impedes
]jrogress.

Today, although 67 percent of
ihe Black population are for
aggressive actions in order to
achieve equality and peace. Black
organizalions that are supposed lo
be stressing how we think can't
get together to come up with 'to-
gether' solutions. 'L's' doesn't dig
ihe Panlhers. the Panthers don't
dig llie NAACP I not many people
are labeled as "coloreiF anymore I,
and this tends to make Blacks
wonder.

When ihe major Black organiza-
tions are in odds, how are we
supposed lo think? I didn't men-
tion the Muslims, and this is
another headache. The Muslims
and NAACP, the longest organized
parlies, share contrasting differ-
ences on the race problem. The
NAACP wants people to live to-
gether, like everybody is one
color, while the Muslims don't
give a rap if whites are never
seen in their communities.

A house divided cannot stand,
so peace will have lo be established
between these 'Black' organizations
before ihere can be unity. A
person at a Panther meeting shout-
ing "peace' may gel mugged, and
a person at a NAACP meeting
shouting 'Black Power' will surely
be ushered out. This isn't too cool.

So remember, my peace is for
Blacks, not between us and the
whites, we aren't ready for that,
not yet. So let us have PEACE
Brolhers, 'right on"!

Support Mr. King

By Gus Howard

If you want to exhibit 'Black
Poiv er." the opportune lime is
right now in the upcoming election
for governor of Georgia.

For the first time, a Black man,
Mr. C. B. King of Albany, Ga.,
is running for this office. There
are enough Blacks in Georgia to
get him elected, but we all have
to work together.

A 'C. B. King for Governor
Club" was formed on this campus
three weeks ago, and its purpose
is to inform Savannah about Mr.
King's running. Since we don't
know just how much publicity the
local paper will give us, other
methods will have to be used.

Savannah is Georgia's third
largest city, population wise, and
a loo percent turn out of its voters
must be accounted for in order for
King to get a good representative
showing. Keep in mind also that
in Georgia, the voting age is 18,
therefore every SSC student should
register and vote and join the club
as well.

We have got to reach every
Black voting citizen in Chatham
County, and those not residents
should try to convince the Blacks
in their home towns, and with
2.600 studenls attending this in-
stitution, this shouldn't be hard to
do. If we work hard, putting 100
peicent of ourselves into it, I'm
certain that we'll be able to con-
vince Black Savannah to register
and vole.

'Black Power' involves together-
ness, so Brothers and Sisters, we
have lo be together. Think what
a Black man as governor could do
for hate infested Georgia, and
now*, this once impossible dream
is now a down to earth reality.
So don't sit down and after the
election say. "he might have won
if I had helped campaign," be-
cause then il will be too late. You
should want to say he won be-
cause T' helped him too.

The officers in the 'King For
Governor Club' are Clarence
Martin, President; Rosalyn Allen,
Vice President; Hattie Jackson,
Secretary: Gus Howard, Press
Secretary: Evonne Shinholster and
Brenda Sauer, Treasurer and
Assistant Treasurer, and David
Foye, head of public relations
assisted by Tommy Elder.

Greeks? On
Our Campus?

By Ocbbye G. Richardson

These few lines are dedicated

to all Grcf'k-leller organizations

on the campus of Savannah Stale

College.

Are the Creeks functioning on
our can|)us? It would be hard to
tell if you used the "Tiger's Roar"
as a .source of information. I have
concluded thai some of the Greeks
are lackadaisical about telling iho
student body know of their func-
tions, and lliere is no interest.
Although there arc notices in each
l)apcr and posters of the news
deadlines, lliey are constantly
ignored. I am tired of begging
each Greek-letter organiitation for
Us news. Even after I have re-
peatedly asked for the news
articles I still do not receive ihem,
and when I do gel them ihey are
lale.

Our pajiei' is clrculaleil to other
colleges and universities, and to
see news from two or llirt-c Greek
organi/.alions would give anyone
the impression that maybe the
Greeks do not function loo welt
on thai campus. Then also ollievs
may conclude thai there may not
he too matiy other organizations
on that campus judging from the
newspaper.

As a last appeal, please have
your news in by the deadline for
the edition. This article also ap-
))lies to other honorary and
scienllfic clubs. News may be lefl

"PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT"

By Phillip Roth
The book "Portnoy"s Complaint"
was banned! Where? In Memphis,
Tennessee mainly and other cities,
it was taken off shelves in high
school libraries because many
parents said that the book was
loo indecent for their children to
read. Then again, many people
lack the ability to understand to
understand ihe problems of others,
what makes our societies what they
are today and lo understand prob-
lems of iheir own.

Alexander Portnoy had a prob-
lem which was basically soclo-
psychologlcal and he had an ap-
pointment to keep once a week
with his psychiatrist. Portnoy
came from a family of four and
he became very successful at an
early age. His Intelligence was
remarkable and he was constantly
being sighted for his outstanding

service in one way or another.
Then why did he have lo visit a
psychiatrist? During the course
of one of Alexander's visits he
reveals to his doctor his complete
life history and why and how he
happened to be on the couch talk-
ing lo a psychiatrist. His life is
wlerd but extremely funny. Just
to think that parents like his
actually exist. Some parents are
overly protective, but gee wiilz
there is a limit lo protecllveness-
Porlnoy's education and sex life
is intriguing, exciting, ridiculous
and in some parts unbelievable.
Maybe his sex life caused the book
lo be banned. But Portnoy can not
be discussed without his sex life.
One day Portnoy is revealed to
the public newspapers, radio and
television; and ibis is part of the
reason that he is on the "couch."
His psychiatrist listens to the en-
lire resume without being able to
get a word in at all. When Portnoy
finishes his doctor says, "Now
may we begin?"

This is a good book for every-
one lo read If he has a mature
mind and a good outlook on prob-
lems like Portnoy's. Portnoy 's
problems began In his early child-
hood, and after reading this book
it may give an idea of what to do
and what not lo do to children.

"Portnoy's Complaint" by
Phillip Roth is S6.25 in hard back
edition and Sl.25 in paperback.

The men in Wright Hall this

and just like one large family.

The men arc looking forward
to their new carpet and draperies
which are going to be installed
sometime in April. 1 am sure they
will help to beautify the dormitory
and make it seem more like home
for the men.

We are also happy to announce
thai we have a newly wedded
bride in our dormitory. Our
dormitory director, iMrs. Johnson,
is now the new Mrs. L. M. Gibbs,
and the men of Wright Hall wish
her hai)piness for many years to
come. Mrs. Gibbs was married
Aprd 1, 1970 to Mr. John H.
Gibbs. She is the first person to
gel married while working in the
dormitory. She began her work at
SSC March 23, 1965 and has been
here for five years. Wright and
Peacock Halls are the only
dormitories on campus to have a
dorm Mother and Father. The men
of Wright Hall are very proud of
this, and again we must say, "Best
wishes Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gibbs."

Joe Davis smacked a
with none out and Cliarlii
on second to bring in the
run in SSC's 3-2 victory over
Armstrong here yesterday on Tiger
Field.

With starting pitcher Hossell
Powell pitching a strong game, the
Tigers held a 2-(l edge over the
I'irates for five innings, On those
five innings lie struck out five and
allowed only three liits.

The Tigers scored the first run
in tlie second inning, as Joe Harris
led off with a single, was removed
when he developed a eram| in his
leg, and Rico Hill took his place,
Everett Kemp smashed a long
double, Moses Armstrong struck
out. Bruce Oglestree singled, and
pitcher Powell brought Hill in on
a sacrifice out. Charlie Frazier
flied out to end the rally.

SSC got on the scoreboard in
the third, as hot bitting Davis
lined a screaming double and came
in on Frankie llarjjer's double. The
Tigers had a chance to do more
damage but Hill and Kemp put
out.

Armstrong finally scored in ihe
sixth, but the run was uneartied.
Albert Lodge led off itith a walk,
and with David Smith bitting,
scored on a passed ball. Powell
mowed the rest of the team down
to shut off any more scoring
threats.

The Tigers opened the last
inning with a one run lead, but
again an error proved to be their
downfall. Bob Houchins reached
first on Armstrong's throwing
error from third and scored on a
tired pilch by reliever Charlie
Smith. Smith bore down to get
the next two batters out to emi
this inning.

The Tigers, Charlie Frazier
opened the bottom of t!ie seventh
with a single, and reached second
on an error. This set the stage for
Mr. Davis' climatic hit. With the
capacity crowd on its feet, the
shortstop lined a winning double
to centerfield to give SSC its tliird
straight win.

The win went to reliever Smith,
who pitched one inning. Powell
deserved a better fate, allowing no
earned runs, through six innings
but that's the way ihe cookie
crumbles.

Lakers To
Win It all

By Gus Howard

By the time that you read this,
the playoffs may already be over,
but 1 thought it would be interest-
ing to print 'Gus' Guesses.'

In the Eastern Division, domi-
nated by Willis Reed and com-
pany, namely the New York
Knickerbockers, the battle between
them and the Lew Alcindor led
Milwaukee Bucks will be tough,
but in the end. the Bucks will come
out on top.

In comparing the two teams,
you find that the Knicks have the
better defensive team, but the
offensive minded Bucks have the
advantage in this category, and
offense will overcome defense. It's
true that the Baltimore Bullets had
a better offensive team, but Weslly
Unseld isn't Lew Alcindor. The
Bucks don't have Earl Monroe,
but they do have Bob Dandridge
and Flynn Robinson in the match
up against Dave Debuschere and
Walt Frai-ier.

If Ihe Bucks should win the first
game in New York, the Bucks will
lirobably win it in si\. However,
the series depends on the play of
Cazzie Russell. If he can't come
through off the bench, the Knicks
can hang it up.

The West, with the best center,
forward and guard In the game on
one team, namely llie Los Angeles
Lakers, will find the going real
hard against Atlanta's Hawks, but
will like Milwaukee, win it in six.
The center. W ill Chamberlain,
forward. Elgin Baylor, and the
guard. Jerry West, believe that
this is that year, and who's going
against these all time all greats?

West has been super all year,
but he gets belter than this in the
playoffs, and it w ill take all of Lou
Hudson's defensive skill to stop
him. Most NBA guards say that
he can't be slo|)ped, and Gus
agrees. Elgin Baylor doesn't score
as much as he used to. hut lie still
has enough mo\ es to make you
jump out of your seats in antici-
pation. If the Big E' can get hot,
then the Lakers may not need the
offensive punch of the last of the
big three. Chamberlain, back from
his injury, gives L.A. extra re-
bounding, scoring, and overall de-
fensive strength. Leading the
comeback over Phoenix, he did
the job on Connie Hawkins, and
Wall Bellamy is no .Mr. Hawkins.
The Lakers' biggest worry will be
'Pogo' Joe Caldwell, while Coach
Cuvin's males will have three
headaches.

In the playoff for the best in
the NliA. the Lakers will win it in
five. The difference this time will
be experience. The Lakers have
been playing for first every season,
are used to pressure, and putting
this with the Bucks I inexperience,
plus their cockiness after beating
New \ork), then the Lakers seem
to be indestructible.

The games will be colorful, with
the NBA's best seven footers
against each other, and also two
of the fastest guards in West and
Robinson. Of the Laker's big
three, I believe thai Baylor will
be doing the most damage.

If these predictions prove to be
w rong, I'm in the process of
taking a slow boat to China.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Why Your College Needs Your Help

Tlie letter addresses you by a
nickname you have never used and
is signed similarly by someone you
have never known. But you can
tell at a glance what it's about.
For your alma mater, like all alma
maters, needs help and, judging
by the frequency of its solicita-
tions, appears to be staking every-
thing on you.

All this interest in you may
strike you as pretty mercenary, to
say the least, especially if you have
never taken the maHer of being an
"alumnus" seriously and don't
have a flattering ojiinion of peo-
ple who do. Indeed you may have
declined more tlian one invitation
to work witb [lie local alumni
group on tile grounds that you're
busy but really because you'd
just as soon leave the glad-hand
stuff to the professional joiners.

As for money, what good could
your tiny contribution do in view
of the huge sums needed?
Wouldn't the school do better to
concentrate ivhere there are some
real pickings?

Perhaps you even resent being
asked for money in the first place.
You paid your way through col-
lege and it was a pretty heavy bur-
den. WOiy should you be expected
to go on paying? After all, you
might argue, the need for edu-
cated manpower is a national
need; college financing is. accord-
ingly, a national, not an indi-
vidual, problem.

\^'ell, (here may be plenty of
logic behind your attitude, the
college; would reply. But llie sim-
ple fact is that they are desperately
in need of help, and the best place
for them lo seek it is among their
graduates. Certainly there has
been far too much buffoonery as-
sociated with alumni activities, but
that's pretty much a thing of tlie
past. The modern alumnus is a
serious-minded citizen who roots
for his alma mater in many ways
besides shouting himself hoarse in
the stadium.

Here are your college's com-
ments on what it wants from you.

Yes, your school will tell you
right off.it does want your money,
however small the contribution.
Sure, it's after the big prospects.
But small donors aren't to be
sneezed at by any means, espe-
cially if they give regularly. And
once they start, most alumni do
continue to give. In 1953-59
alumni donations to colleges
amounted to about S-15.500.OOU on
an annual gift basis. To realize
that much income on investments,
the institutions would have re-
quired around 1.3 billion dollars
more in endowments than they ac-
tually had.

About one in five alumni con-
tributes. If all others tossed in
even SI a year, that would add
85,250.000 'annually to the re-
sources of higher education. At
some colleges it might mean the
difference between holding a good
instructor or losing him to a

higher-paying job in indu^li)- or
another institution.

Experience shows that even the
smallest alumni donation lends to
increase over the years and may
result in a major bequest. Besides,
alumni who give also help lo so-
licit, and )our alma mater hopes
tlial if you become actively in-
volved with her financial welfare,
you'll keep a weather eye out for
potential donors. Many a corpora-
tion has been persuaded by an em-
ployee lo give money tliat might
Othc-rwise not have gone to educa-
lion at all.

Your donation is only a small
part of what your college needs
from you in the way of help. It
wants your political support, loo.
As a college graduate you have an
important influence on national as
well as local affairs. The more you
know about your college and its
many problems e.g., the diffi-
culty of getting teachers, the short-
age of loan funds, the need for
science facilities ihe more you
ivill know about the problems of
all colleges and the more influence
you can have, either through dis-
cussion or by political action.

If your college is a public insti-
tution, you can be especially help-
ful. For it is dependent on an an-
nual or biennial appropriation by
ihe state legislature, and alumni
wlio understand its needs can do
a lot to see ihat legislators are
made aware of them, too. A few
years ago the graduates of a group
of colleges in a midwest stale

(Iruinnied up enough support lo
win passage of a 5150,000,000
bond issue that required an amend-
ment of lliL- slate constitution.

Your moral support is impor-
tant to your college, too. Contro-
versy often cenlers on a college,
for it is a place of ideas, and ideas,
by llieir nature, breed discussion
and argument. If they don't
they're pretty tame ideas. Dis-
turbed by controversy, outside
grou|)s somelimos attack a college
in an effort to remove the "source
of trouble" n professor, a new
policy, a provocative hook, an in-
vitation to a nonconformist
speaker. Dedicaled and well-in-
formed alumni, whelber ihey agree
or nol nitli the particular idea in
question, can help preserve ihc in-
stitution's integrity against these
pressures. For lo do its educa-
lional job, the college must bt?
free.

You may be able to help your
alma mater by advising the presi-
dent on specific problems. Alumni
often serve as tru-itces or on spe-
cial advisory committees. At least
one large slate university has an
advisory board of alumni who
study course offerings and stand-
ards and report in confidence di-
rectly lo the president. They don'l
actually make policy, but ihey
have an important consulting role.

Simply by working with your
instil ul ion. \xhclhei it's large or
small, public or private, you be-
come involved in basic policy and
through inlelligenl discussion can

help mold the educational aims of
the country. For e.xample, if you
help your college search out ca-
pable students or if you sit on a
scholarship committee, you may
find yourself involved with such
national questions as these: Who
sliould go to college? How will
ihey pay for it? What happens to
those who don'l go? What is an
institution's obligation toward
those who want to go? Tlius,
through an enlightened approacli
to alumni activities, you can de-
velop a national point of view
rather than remain simply a mem-
ber of ihe cheering section of one
college.

Finally, your alma mater looks
on you as its best public relations
medium, for you are its product.
In a message lo alumni, Chancel-
lor Samuel Gould of ihe Univer-
sity of California at Santa Barbara
put it this way:

"You are the distilled essence of
the university ... If anything last-
ing is to be achieved by us as a
community of scholars, it must . . .
be reflected in you. If we are to
win intellectual victories or make
cultural advances, it nuist be
through your good offices and
your belief in our mission."

As an alumnus, your relation
with your college is reciprocal.
Through it you can maintain di-
rect coiilact with ihe world of
learning. Through you it can
niainlain a lively connedion with
the world beyond college, tho
\vorld (vliich it is meant to serve.

MAKE A WISE CHOICE

By Essie Stewart

The time is fast approaching
when all the students of SSC will
be able lo voice iheir o|)inions
concerning the leaders for next
year's school term. This is one
privilege many of us do not con-
sider until the time slips upon us.

The Freshmen should look upon
this event with great speculation
and great anticipation. The term
speculation is used because within
your hands you Freshmen hold
great power. You will elect what
you consider to be ihe best candi-
date (v'ho will lead you lo success
or failure. The term anticipation
is used for this event as an
example of what is expected of
you upon entering into the cold
cruel world outside of the campus
community.

At this point you will wonder
about the power you have and then
think of the qualifications you
should look for. The first qualifi-
cation you should look for is
leadership ability. Is the candidate
you are supporting capable of
commanding authority or in-
fluence? is the candidate above
narrow class or group interests?

The second qualification is
service and dedication. Is your

candidate willing lo comply willi
or consider your policies: is he
willing to comply willi or consider
all other policies ihal suggest
progress and improvement? Dedi-
cation goes along with service be-
cause they are qualities which
existence is incomplete without the
other. If he is nol willing to
commit himself to the office he
is running for, then he is running
a futile race for he has lost your
vole as well as the voles of oilier
discerners.

The third qualification is in-
telligence. Your candidate should
be able lo understand the power
and the responsibilities of his
office. The last qualification is
common sense. Does your choice
have ihe inborn ability to dis-
linguish between right and wrong.
Does he have the ability to deter-
mine the right move. A person
may be intelligent, hut it is nol
a guarantee that he has common
sense.

Voting is an important event
that should not be overlooked. If
you sec a candidate who possesses
the qualifications listed above,
vole for him. Remember, if you
vote, the choice is yours, if you
do not vote, the choice is theirs.

Dorm Life

Note from the Editor; I asked a
freshman staff worker to
describe dorm life lo me. Here
is her reply.

I have found that dormitory
living is a new and different ex-
perience. Living in the dormitory
has its advantages and disadvant-
ages. Some of the advantages are:
you have the ability to live and
share together, you form life long
friendship bonds, and you learn
more about your sex. You are

much closer lo the happenings and
you enjoy yourself more. How-
ever, the disadvantages do not out
number the advantages. Inade-
quate, less privacy, distracting
noises and short lived animosities
are just some of the things you
become familiar with and learn to
overlook. There are times when
you long to be home with mother,
yet there are other limes when
moments arise you know you will
cherish forever.

are without exception John Bircli-
ers who are very conservative and
usually very naive repardinj:
sexual matters. For example, at
tbeir meetings, ihey openly oppose
all forms of sex education wbieb
do not preach tlicir conservative
morality which includes the belief
that all masturbation and homo-
sexuality are evil. To see this for
oneself, wc encourage physicians
lo attend the open meetin-is t^f this
movement in their communities.

owe Bill Russell, the student body

\\ hatever you do, just remember,
"you can't plant corn and ;;el

falls bark upon you. and believe
me it will.

To Mr. Russell, if you shoubl
receive a copy of this newspaper
would you please do a favor for
the sludcnls at SSC? If you should
by cbanee'ever bear of a promi-
nent Black to speak at Savannah
State in the future, please familiar-
ize this person, if possible, of what
iiappened lo you. so it will not
come as a surprise to the jiuesl if

By Augustus Howard
On" of tbe mo:t c:?Iebrated high- thin;.; so low. and be is tbe only
lights at Savannah Slate Collegi
the pre'

of former Bosl
Cellic star. Bill Russell, was
almost marred by an interruption
tliat liapjiened at tbe end lor
almost the end I of bis speech.

Mr. Russell, before beginning
his sjieecb, told lo everyone's sur-
Iirise that SSC was tbe first all
Black institution at which he bad
ever spoken. Knowing this, and
knowing thai Russell's accomplish-
ments are known all over the
world, the last thing that you
would expect would be for some-
one to interrupt bis planned pro-
gram.

Tbe iiilei ruptor obviously iHd
not like bis speech in tbal she
ne\er smiled or responded to any-
Ibiiig that be said but this was
no reason to make bim stop. No
one wmilrl ha\e cared if tbe other
I erenionies had been cancelled
until the next week, and I am cer-
tain thai Mr. Clark ami Miss Alex-
ander wanted to witness his c|ues-
lion-an>wer session. Doing what
she did was an unjust ad.

\ou ask yourself. 'W nuld any-
one olber than she lia\e done any-
thing as dirly as that?" Your
answer would be No. President
Jordan would not stoop in any-

one with such authority.

I Wf)nder what Russell thinks of
SSC now? Will be ever return be-
cause of ibis incident? Will he get
tbe impression that all Black in-
stitutions will slop him a man of
such esteem? ^ ou then ask the
ultimate. "Would she have inter-
rupted Jerry West?" No sir, and
the reason is obvious.

To the interrupter, you owe
everyone at SSC an apology for
your act. Surely he spoke a long
time, but do you think we will
e\er get anyone as famous as Mr.
Russell down here again? No. Be-
cause they do not come any more
famous iban him: and this in-
cludes Bhu'ks politically, academic-
ally and athletically. Many stu-
dents and a large number of in-
structors present were against
what you did and it really em-
barrassed a lot of us. What you
should do is write a long letter of
apology, addressed to the student
body, to be printed in next month's
paper. If you do not believe any-
one was "teed" off for what you
did. just ask some of the instruc-
tors that were present, and re-
cei\'e the shock of your life. To
yon. I bestow the "Tiger's Roar
Fickle Finger of Fate Award,"
you really deser\e it!

majority of parents who want sex
idue.ition in their schools, nor the
sex educators themselves have any
well organized national movement

MOTORFJMC will appear to rei-re-
*ent the majority opinion in local
I'onimunilies and continue to
de-^lrnv sex eduralion programs,

Tlierefore, to help find the
proper place of good sex educa-
tion programs in sr'hools, we en-
courage local pli\sici;ins and slate
medical societies to: ill Initiate
or support acli\ely local mo\e-
ments for sex education in ibe
schools in their communities; |2)
Request from the AMA some of
its excellent materials on family
life and sex education: l3i Inform
themselves of the contents of some
of the excellent literature tbal has
recently become available on sex
education and sexual i>roblems
through SICCUS and other
groups: and {ll Altemjit to get
local psychiatrists on ibe curricu-
lum planning committees of local
sex education programs. (The
recent writings of psychiatrists in-
dicate ibal they have a good under-
standing of sexual problems and
the needs of sex education in
schools . . .)

It is far better to begin or to
improve sex education program-*
in the schools than it is lo elimi-
nate them altogether. We hope
local physicians can meet this
responsibility of the need b>r their
active support of local sex educa-
tion programs. Otherwise, sex
education surely will be pushed

we thought it was cmergini: finally.

G. B. KING DOING HIS THING

Attorney C. B. King, Georgin's
first Black man to run for gover-

May 22.

Tlie fiery lawyer, the first law-
yer to handle civil rights cases in
Georgia, spoke on nil subjects and
answered all questions asked him
pertaining to his running for gov-
ernor.

Many Negroes, not Blacks, feel
that King, once he gets into office
will do like other Blacks by turn-
ing his back on Mie situation and
becoming "wtiilenized." King re-
sponded by putlifig emphasis on
what Ma<ldox ha& done for Blacks,

I would like to eomplitnent you
on vour recent article in the
Tiger's Roar, Tlir Rud.- InU-r-

It is llard ent>M;:h fur a speaker
In find topics that would suit his
audience, and then, after being
lohl to conclude his speech before
h.- ha.l finished, he probably fell
lliat bis speech was uniiiteiestirif-

did this insulting thln^' bas ibe
courtesy to write a letter addi. --ed
to the fncuhv and students
apologising for ibis art id

In llie near fnluie 1 hojie wr

the lines?

Dear Mr. Howanl:

In regard to tlie recent articles
about the disgraceful ci.ndui I bv
a member of the staff of this col-
Iej;e, 1 write to applaud you. 1
commend you for your courage
in being able to publish these
articles conclemning the condUil
of Dean Davis.

Please continue to voice the
opinions of Savannali State stu-
dents about important matters such
as this. Let these articles be a
lesson lo all faculty members ihal
they are nol above reproach by
the students. Again 1 commend
you.

Rita Smilli
Miss Smith,

The Tiger's Roar newspaiier is
the vocal point for sludertls, al-
though many jail to realize this.
We feel, however, that we
shouldn't always be the ones doing
this. If more published their
opinions, then the Establishment
would see that more than just two
or three people arc against them.

Dear Sir:

This letter is in rt*(]uesl from ibe
presirlent of llie Student American
Chemical Society, asking if you
would feature a wrilc-up on Oliver
ManigtJ, a chemistry major, who
has been selected by Howard Uni-
versity to attend ibc ISSP at the
University tins summer. Being the
only studeni selected from this
college, ibis is a noteworthy ac-
complishmeni.

Wilson Gray
Mr. Cray.

Ij an iirlirle isn't in the paper
about Mr. Mnnigo's achievement,
it is the fault of the chemistry de-
IHirtnient. Each department was
notified about the news deadline,
so don't blame us if it's not pub-
lished. This news is concerned
with the rhrniistry department and
it is their duty to .send news like
this to us.

Dear .Sir: "

I ibink that the Tiger's Roar
S])orls Section is overlooking the
track team. Your sports section
has more aboul the baseball and
golf teams and nolliing aboul the
track leam.

Most people don't even know
that we have a track team. Tlie
track leam should get some kind
of justice because it loo is a pari
of oui' s[iorls activity at Savannah
Stale College.

Cecil Turner
Mr. Turner.

It is not with intention that the
trad; leam is werluoked. it's just
that if hasn't been excelling any.
However, if it was organized, say
with a secretary or reporter for
llf newspaper, an article would
he iirinlcd in every paper.

On nc\l season, the news staff
will be more organized and wr
hojn- not to overlook the track

Dear Sir:

The Tigei's Roar is one of the
poorest r-ampus papers around.
Seemingly the objective of the
|iaper is only lo criticize. Tlie
paper does nol inform the student
body as In what is really going on.
and most of the articles are silly,
and don't make sense. For
instance, the three articles that
were askerl to criticize Miss Davis'
way of telling Bill Russell that his
time was up primarily said the
same things and the space used
for three articles could liave been
pul to heller use.

I suggest ihe space he better
used for such things as: The
Summer School Program, jobs

Lorella D. Gibbs
Miss Cibbs,

Your article was most interest-
ing, but il appeared to me that
you don't know anything about
what is supposed to go in a neivs-
paper. Wouldn't it be stupid to
write about ways oj increasing the
popidation when everyone, at least
the whites, are concerned with it
decreasing. In other words, you
write about what's happening now;
Dean Davis' interruption icas
relevant then.

You criticized the three articles
about her, well don't you see more
than one article in regular news-
papers about the same incidents
that occur in Victnarii.

For your information, at the
Columbia Press Ratings in New
York, yes New York, the Tiger's
Roar finished first. Ij you had
read some of the previous papers,
all that you said we don't print
has been printed. At least, you
are concerned.

Dear Sir:

I want lo commend vou, ynur
staff and others who tnok pari in
selecting the information that was
presetited in the April editinn of
the TigerV Roar.

One article I was particularly
pleased with: this was the article
explaining what the Watch Dog
Committee is and its duties. In the
article it revealed the real '.riilb.
although a large number of narrow
minded students won't agree with
wbal was said. The reason for this
I believe, is that most students
here are very conservative and
just don't care how they are
trealetl.

Joluniy Francis

Mr. Francis,

In regards to your letter. I do
agree with you in your belief that
the students at SSC are loo con-
servative.

I do believe that the students
care about how. they jusl are too
a j raid of the institution to
challenge it. Imagine a Black col-
lege making -i-l demands and
getting otdy jive acted upon. The
average is better for lllacks at
White institutions. The instructors
can't know how the students feel
because the students don't express
themselves. As the saying goes,
silence gives consent.

Come Together

By Essie Stewart
Come Together is the cry of
Black People across the nation;
it is also the cry of brothers fight-
ing in Vietnam to the Blacks in
this nation. Blacks have uttered
that phrase ever since slavery
limes. Tlie problem lluit confront-
ed llieni and still confronis us to-
day is the Blacks who close iJieir
ears to this cry: they hear and
then they do nol hear. It seems that
college studenis would shoulder
the responsibility lo inform the
uneducated masses and the deaf
masses aboul coming together. Yet
they are ignorant about coming to-
gether. They have not realized
that coming together is the only
solution for Blacks in a prejudiced
world.

An example of the former can
be vividly seen in an event two
students of SSC related to me.
Two female studenis of SSC were
on the beach iilaying in the water
when two rabbits, chucks, whilies,
or whatever you wish lo call ibem,
came up and disturbed the two
coeds. The rabbits assaulted and
insulted while members of lliis col-
lege campus looked on. None of
tlie s|ieclators came over lo lend
a liet[jing hand, I ask you, is this
logellierness? Hell no, it is not.

Whites will always have the ad-
vantage over Blacks because we
refuse lo take up for our color.
Whiles are aware of this, so they
will continue. Few persons have
nol realized bul the former is the
whiles' key lo dominating the
American scene. Blacks are too
wrapped up in their ])orlrayal of
Uncle Toms that they have for-
gotten lo come together. If those
brothers from SSC liad just taken
a step forward while those whiles
were attacking ihc womanhood of
their sisters, bul they didn't. The
two sisters under attack lold me
the whites laughetl at them and
said "look, your own color will
not help you."

Since our country seems to be
on the verge of revolt against the
present form of government, it is
more than reason enough for
Blacks to come together and slay
together. Division is a curse that
plagues the Black race in ^\jnerica,
Vi hat does it take for these people
lo come togetlier, a visible signal
from the Almighty himself?

Greeks Heed

By Gus Howard

You're still Black.

As I've noticed during ihe past,
many students, especially the fe-
males, don'l associate with tlieir
former friends, either male or fe-
male, after they become Greek.

I know from personal experi-
ence that some, who were good
friends, got cute and stopped
speaking. Dig il, can you imagine
a Black woman not speaking lo a
Black man because she is better
( psychologically ) , than he is. The
while man has rejected her, and
she won't speak to me because Fm
not in a fral, Tliis makes as much
sense as Maddox being governor.

People ha\e got lo slop this use-
less nonsense. Whether you are a
Beta Chi or a Beta Ni. you're still
Black, you're slill being oppressed,
and you're still struggling. Do you
think thai those pigs al Jackson
Slate asked those two guys what
fral they were in before ihey shot
ihem? Do you think that, if they
bad, would tlie pigs have said lei's
not shoot him, he's a Beta man.
Hell no!

Instead of isolating yourselves,
you should be trying to develop
unity among tlie Blacks as a
whole, nol as separate groups. You
Greek people should he the guid-
ing light in the struggle. On the
tribute, you people should have
been leading us. 1 only spotted
some Alphas, APO's. Sigmas.
Zetas and AKA's. I guess the
others say that when you get your
freedom. I won't have mine be-
cause a non-phi-nnn's freedom is
different from a Phi Beta Psi. Lei
me tell vou, a whileys bullet can't
tell a Que from an APO.

Frals and sororities have got to
make drastic changes lo cope with
the changing world. Doing like
the white, shaving your heads,
moustaches, learning a Greek al-
phabet, this isn't helping the cause
any. Nothing looks sillier than a
bald-headed Black man who just
got bald lo join a \vhite originated
club. You say it makes a man,
bell, the armv doesn't take as long
as that lo make one thousand men.
How- do you feel like men when
youve been running around three
months, you don't know or care
what the Black situation is. you
j usl want to make it over, you
can't see your girl when you want
lo, you're flunking because you've
been learning how to dance in-
stead of studying, and last but not
least, you're bald-headed in the
age of hair and no clothes. A
Black man shouldn't ever permit
his hair to be cut or his face to
be shaved,

I guess you reading this are
saying, "how can he talk and be
pledging Que at the same lime? "
Dig, llie only way that you can
reach some members of some or-
ganizations is to be a part of it.
They won't listen to a man that's
looking in from the outside. I
know, in fact I'm almost certain
die Ques will probably gel rid of
me. but if they do. Ill still be
"Black,"

What the frals and sorors
should do is get together and de-
cide how they, as Greek organiza-
tions, are going to help in the
movement I I'm nol talking ahout
Isaac Hayes, either I and how they
are going lo bring llie "Brothers''
together. A Greek organization has
more unity than any lyjie on this
campus, and people listen to to-
gether people. Jusl think how
it will he if "Black" Greeks al
other colleges read that at Savan-
nah State, ihey broke from tradi-
tion and started a new era. Imag-
ine saying a Que or Kappa led us
on the march to the city hall as
a protest to the Vietnam war. We
need tliis type of action, and we
need it now !

Bul have you ever stopped to think
about the Black students at South
Carolina Stale thai were shot down
like a pack of mad dogs in the
hack? No one said anything about
tlieir deaths and they were only
trying lo go howl a few games.

I know some of you might say
that it is in the past, but think
ahout it, the lop white official of
college education closed down our
college because four white students
were killed and that deprived us
of one day of education. I know
il was just one day. bul I am try-
ing lo gel you lo see the principle
of the thing. I hope you can see
where I am coming from. But like
one student on this campus always
says, "It's got to be madness or
confusion," and I think he is
right: confusion!!

Revelation From
Soeial Scieuces

By Johnny R. Francis

This article thai I am about to
present is not anything new to a
few of you, so that few please bear
with me.

One of our greatest problems
today, as a race, is thai we are
taught by many of our Black in-
structors to teach our Black
brothers and sisters upon leaving
here, thai they should get a good
education so that they may jtrofit
well in life. This is true in part,
bul 1 know from what I have
leaiiied from experience llial il is
misleading lo leach our Black
brothers and sisleis that this is the
only way lo gain their freedom and
respect. You must now start teach-
ing our people the first law of na-
ture. "Self Pieservalion." You
must convince them that il is more
than mandatory for them to start
helping each other, explain to
ibcm how, down through history,
the while power structure has not
given them anything. Look what
happened when we did not partici-
[lale in the spring clean up; no
trip lo Africa. Teach him so that
be will understanrl thai unless be
stalls trying lo provide for him-
self, he will always resL at the bot-
tom of this ci\'ilization. In order
for any race of people lo exist on
the face of this earth w itli respect
and with dignity, be must first
work together for a common goal.
When he has accomplished his
goal, then he can appreciate what
he knows is his. Then, no race of
jieople will say that they have
given him anything.

I know that the Black man of
this country will be more justified
once he stands u]j for what he be-
lieves and knows is right.

Sad. But It's True

By Duck Johnson
It was a sad thing to hear ahout
the four students that were killed
al Kent State during their demon-
stration. My friends and 1 send
their college mates our sympathy.

Stiuleuts At SSC
Dark Age Material

By Gus Howard

This article is dedicated to those
studenis who knew about the trib-
ute on May the fifteenth hut in-
stead of parlicipaling, followed
the Greek circus.

Apparently you are while. Ap-
[larently you don't care what hap-
pens lo your own people. Appar-
ently a "dip ' in Savannah Beach
is more important than paying
tribute lo the slain Brothers lo
you. If il isn't, you surely gave
this impression on May the fif-
teenth.

When are your sleeping minds
going to wake up to wliat is going
on? Things aren't getting better
for us, hell no, they are getting
worse ! Matters are . so bad now
that a revolution seems imminent,
and half of you aren't ready for il.
1 hel that some of you wouldn't
even fight. You would probably
say, "it's no concern of mine."
Good grief! You expect for the
people over forty to be ancient in
their thinking. I've talked to some
at this age who are more together
than a lot of you! This is what
bugs me. If you aren't together,
how do you expect tlie next gen-
eration to be?

Thunderbolt. After the story hour
the youths were fed in the dining
hall. This project ended May 23,
1970, ivilh the Sorors giving a

The Greek Circus

By Augustus Howard

Many of you will be opposed lo
this article. Greeks as well as non-
Greeks, but that's just loo bad.
Now that Pve prepared you, brace
yourselves as I tell you about the
"Creek" circus.

On May 15th, following the C.
B. King program wherein Mrs.
Mary Young s|)oke, the members
of the club decided to hold a
moratorium in honor of the two
students that were killed at Jack-
son State. Because Dean Kiah had
announced that classes would be
suspended for two days because of
the tragic incident, I thought that
the Brothers and Sisters would
surely be out in large proportions
lo take part in the tribute.

While eating lunch, I was given
the instructions as to what to an-
nounce over the intercom in re-
gards to the tribute. When going
to make tlie announcement, 1 was
startled to see ihe Kappa pledgees
slompitig in front of the student
center. I'm not blaming them for
what happened, but the Dean of
Pledgees, the president anil all
other "old" members who knew
about the incident but went on
ahead with the show. It showed
me that you didn't give a damn
about ihe slain Brothers. It made
me feel as if you don't care what
is going on in the outside world
as long as it doesn't concern Sa-
vannah Slate. What kind of to-
getherness is this?

Anyone with common sense in
the frat would have cancelled all
of this ancient waste of time. Is
stomping around bald headed go-
ing lo elect a Black governor, is it
going to stop Maddox from send-
ing armed national guardsmen

THE TIGER'S nOAR

June 3, 1970

Let's Ajialyze
The 'Tiger'

By Gus Howard
I have never in my life licitrii
so much crilicism aboul a ye;ir.
book like Tvc heard nboul llie
1970 "Tiger." Even the cover was
criticized.

Brolhcrs and Sisters, l.-t me tell
you hon' it reidly >\'ns. Sopliiji
Waye, the yearbook editor, did all
that she could do to produce a
good yearbook. Wbnt .nhe didn't
have in her favor was a dedicated,
hard ivorkinj; staff. No man is a
mountain, and Mi is f;oea doubly
for a woman. In otlier words, slie
just couldn't [lossibly make it
alone and produce an accustomed
"top" Tiger Atinual. Sin- needed
help! Your help!

I realize thai everyone can't be
on the staff, but a good annual
staff needs to he com])Osed of
more than thirty people, creative
people. If. you have a talent, .say
drawing ciir wriling, you know ibal
the annuiil need.s you. You don't
have to be an Eldridfie ('leaver or
a Picasso, but the iillle lliat you
can do would Ie H|iprfcialed. ('an
you read, write or type? All of
these credentials are specified, and
I'm sure tliat everyone tan read
and write.

I was tlic sfiorls editor, and I'm
not ashamed to admit that llie
sports section wasn't worth any-
thing. But I'm also not ashamed
to Icit you that at tlie lime 1 was
s|)orts editor, I was editor of the
newspaper, statistician for the foot-
ball and baskelhall teams, spurts
reporter for the college, student
sports information ilireclor, plus I
liad to be a "student" too. Sopliia
wasn't even going to most of lier
classes, trying like mad to get you
a yearbook. Sometimes she was
up many nights in Meldrim at 12
and beyond, neglecting study and
sleep for you. Instead of criticiz-
ing her, you should praise her.
^ ou that had spare time could
have at least devoted one liour a
(lay to the book.

I hope that Janice Brvant, llie
"Tiger" editor for next year, will
have more loyal support than Miss
Waye. SSC is so renownt-d for its
journalism, because of Wilton C.
Scott, that it would be a disgrace
for it to turn out a below excellent
annual. It's up to you!

Students Get
luvolved

By Gus Howard

An article appeared in the Sa-
vannah iMorninp News a few
weeks ago announcing that "while
racist bigot" J. B. Sloncr of Sa-
vannah is running for governor on
the white power ticket.

If you didn't read tlic article,
you should: it may wake up some
of your sleeping minds. Stoner
said that "no Black is fit to be
governor of Georgia and it's an
insult to the people of Georgia to
have a Black running." If elected,
he said that he will end all forms
of integration and ask the legisla-
ture to provide travel funds for
Negroes whom be usually re-
ferred to as "Black savages" or
"niggers" who will move out of
the state.

This kind of man is running for
governor. This should inspire you,
as intellectual college students, lo
do all that you can for C. B. King
in the next election. Tlie sky
should be the limit in this cam-
paign. If you think a few whites
think like him, think again, it's
more than you think it is. Brothers
and Sisters, I beseech you, let's do
our think with C. B. King, "right
on."

What Is A Man?

By Harry B. James, III
WTiut is a man, can you tell me?
>'ou mi^lit think you know, but
do you, really? A man is the most
selfish, evil and misunderstood
creature walking on this confused
jdanct. Man doesn't know what to
do with himself, yet he controls
llie uorld. Man creates things of
beauty, yel he lives in a state of
ugliness. Man builds to satisfy
himself, yet lie destroys lo please
himself. Man strives for peace, yet
he is restless without war. We cry
justice, justice, although we are
bent on vengeance. We demand
better colleges, yet we destroy the
ones we have. We learn from ado-
lescence to love one another, yet
when older we are taught to kill.
Babies cry from hunger at night
while billions of dollars are spent
on needless commodities. Man
lives in sin, yet he seeks out
church on Sundays. But man is
himself no matter what, as be tries
to improve himself and with luck
he will succeed. For be must, if
lie i> to survive in this sick society.

America The Sick!

By Harry B. James. Ill

America the beautiful, America
ihe free, America the proud. These
words echoing tlirough ones mind
has as little reverence as Lester
Maddox saying he's black and
proud. A person of any worth-
while degree of intelligence and
sanity should be able to surely see
what is happening to our once
proud nation.

America today is in a state of
chaotic disillusinn and is being
led down a hollow path to
imminent destruction. Throughout
the history of the world great na-
tions in wealth and power such as
Rome, Germany. Japan and
France have fallen because of a
lack of unity within. America
once the most feared nation in
tlie world is now steadily being
bullied by nations no larger in
mass than Rhode Island. The
politicians are constantly losing
contact with their public. The
races are more now than ever
dealing separatism among them-
selves causing a split in purpose
and goals.

President Nixon and Ins tight
man Agnew are misinforming the
nation on the vital issues of today.
It is unfortunate when over the
past five years over two million
concerned Americans of all races
have had to protest in front of the
White House to bring to the at-
tention of our leaders we will not
tolerate them voting themselves
raises each year while the poor
get poorer in the most affluent
society on the face of the earth.
Thousands of Americans go to
bed each night hungry, while we
spend billions in space and also
trying to buy the friendships of
other lazy nations. Our big white
leader in Washington sends teen-
agers overseas to he killed, or
crippled for life, yet in 47 states
in America we are not allowed a
voice in the government. October
8, 1970, President Nixon con-

DR. EATON TALKS TO KAPPA DELTA PI

sistently sidestepped the questions
put to him by the news media on
television.

We. the future generation, must
vole these skunks out of office
before more of our rights are
taken at ihe seams and com-
munislic countries are waiting to
sew us together again. If we allow
ourselves to be taken in by Nixon
and bis band of merry men. there
will be no future for America.
Germany fell, Rome fell, America
is falling!

Annual Teacher
Education
Conference Held

Ar< (irding to Dr. Tlielma M.
Ilarmond. Chairman, Division of
Education. SSC, the tenth annual
Conference on teacher education,
hel.l on Thursday. May 7, 1970,
Hubert Hail, was very successful.

Approximately 150 persons at-
tended the conference. Guests in-
cluded a representative from the
Board of Regents, supervising
teachers from cooperating school
centers, local school officials. State
Department of Education officials,
community leaders and representa-
tives from various colleges in the
Stale.

Conference focus was on
"Teaching and Teacher Education
for the Seventies." Chief con-
sultant was Dr. Frederick R.
Cyphert, Dean of the School of
Education, University of Virginia.
Charlottesville, who spoke on
"Developments in Teacher and
Teacher Education in the
Seventies."

Special features of the Confer-
ence included a tribute to Mrs.
Eleanor B. Williams, a supervising
teacher who died since the ninth
conference, and musical selections
from the bell choirs, flute choir,
and chorus of the J.H.C. Butler
Elementary School under the di-
rection of Mrs. Fannie P. Jenkins.

S.N.E.A. President Cuthbert
Burton, S.N.E.A. members, and
students from professional courses
were responsible for registration,
conference courtesies, and the
hand-printed design for the cover
of the conference program.

Wright Hall Neivs

The men of Wright Hall have
really been happy this month.
They are proud of their new car-
pet and draperies which were in-
stalled on the 18th of April. These
new items which were added to the
dormitory really seem to make it
more at home for the men.

As the Quarter draws to an end
and the Summer vacation is near,
some of the men of Wright Hall
are looking forward to this, and
some are not. I know many
thoughts by many of the men will
result back to the good limes
which were experienced during the
previous quarters. So I can truly
say for myself and the majority of
the men in Wright Hall that we
had a wonilerful school term to-
gether, as though we were one big
family together.

Lawrence Thomas, Reporter

Lester Hall
Dorm Neivs

The ladies uf Lester Hall, under
the direction of Mrs. D. R. Taylor,
are very much looking forward
to the end of the quarter.

On May 2, 1970, at 2:00 p.m.,
the President of Lester Hall,
Dorothy Hollinger, some mem-
bers of the council and several
girls from the dorm attended the
spring meeting of Savannah State
College National President of
NAA, Mr. Daniel Washington,
who gave the opeidng, remarks.
Then we had invocation by Rev.
James E, Baelly. Afterward Miss
Meltella W. Maree was called upon
to greet the alumni and the visit-
ing friends. Recognition was given
lo Miss National Alumni, the Na-
tional Regional and local officers
and the present officers of the
NAA. Mr. Robert Bess was called
upon to introduce the students
who were attending the meeting.
Mr. Bess staled, "Instead of me
introducing the students I will let
the students introduce themselves,"
which the students did. The pur-
pose of the meeting was the
original meeting of ihe NAA in
whicli regular steps ivere taken.
It was interesting for us to witness
the NAA meeting of 1970 at Sa-
\annah State College.

Hell no! The incident that

you wanted your pledgees to do
was to "make it over!" You are

Now it's Delta time. You young

pointed in you. You not only had
those young ladies suffering hu-
miliation that morning, but you
had them parading around like
fools up until late that night.

I'm entering the possibility that
you might not have known during
the morning about the incident, or
why classes were suspended, but
you damn well knew in the eve-
ning. What kind of womanhood
were you Deltas exemplifying?
Mind you, I'm not talking about
the ones who were going over, but
to the Dean of Pledgees, president,
and the other members.

Just think what a white would
have said if he bad come out here
and seen those Kappas running
around bald headed in red shirts
and those Deltas walking with
those shields raised over their
heads. They would have laughed
and called it a three-ring circus.
No wonder they think we're ignor-
ant. Two Brothers get killed,
classes are suspended, and you
Deltas have these girls walking
around, talking about "when I

man girls were talking about you.

YES, IT'S WORTH THE PRICE

By Essie
After nine weeks or six months
of toil, you suddenly ask yourself
was it really worth pledging. Tliis
is the question many Greeks on
SSC's campus ask of themselves.
Many non-Greeks wonder if it is
worth pledging. It does add pres-
tige and fame to an individual :
moreover, it changes an indi-
vitlual. But does fame and jtres-
lige help fallen grades?

Many students take pride in be-
coming meniLiers of Greek organi-
zations because they are repre-
seiitnlives of the Black heritage in
America. Others consider it a
waste of time and a waste of
money. V*l, Black Greek organi-
zations when first initialed were
symbols of unity and pride for
Blacks all over America, now they
seem to have left that immediate
purpose in the eyes of some col-
lege students. Now they seem to
inflict |iain. humiliation, and de-
spair to the Btuderils *vho are in
the ])rocess of vowing their loyalty
to an organization of this nature.
We come now to the essence of
the problem which is: have Greek
organizations lost sight of their
values? The evidence that has
Ijeen obtained to support the af-
firmative view of this question is.
that out of the ten Greek organiza-
tions on this campus only two

Stewart

have repre.sentatives on tlie C. B.
King for Governor Committee and
on May 15. when two Greek or-
ganizations let their aspirants per-
form even though Dean Kiah had
sus|>ended classes in memorial to
the to students killed at Jackson
Slate College. One cannot afford
to be so prejudiced as to forget
the contriltntit)ns the Greeks are
making to the connnunity at large
but these two incidents cannot be
overlooked or forgiven.

Due to tlie qualities and aims
Greek organizations express, strive
and demand, the former events
were made out of "ignorance." In
a way, tlie young men and women
in these organizations at SSC have
disappointed the non-Greek po|)u-
lace who look up to them for lead-
ership purposes. They have dis-
graced their goals wlucli they have
vowed to fulfill as members of the
organization.

The Greek organizations at SSC
need to call tlicmselves logetlier
for a long introb]>etlion. Ignorance
should not plague an organization
in wliich the men and women have
voived themselves to true brother-
liood and sisterhood and to finer
womanhood and manhood. Pledg-
ing is really worth it once the
Greek organization understands it-
self and its goals.

Students at SSC

(Comiinied jrom Pa^e 2)

Sure, you come to college to
learn, but that doesn't mean that
\ou should isolate yourselves from
the outside world. I guess you
figure that what hajipens in Mis-
sissippi won't affect you. The
whites in Georgia are probably
thinking that if they get away with
that at Jackson State. let's go shoot
up some Savannah State "nig-
gers."" You don't have to go to
Mississippi for an example, look
at Augusta. If the incident that
jrampted the deaths had happened
in Savannah, Maddox would have
done the same thing. Instead of
six Augustans, six Savannahians
would have been killed. Instead
of Paine being closed, SSC could
have been closed. But you say
that it doesn't concern you. Like
the Temptations say, ) our minds
are sleeping but you are wide
aivake.

Why flo some of ) ou wear
'fros''? You are about as mili-
tant or "Blackenized" as Spiro T.
Agnew. For some of you. the only
"Black" literature that you read is
the school paper. I bet that you
don't know the authors of "Soul
on Ice" or "Die, Nigger, Die," but
you do know who wrote "Great
Expectations" and Gulliver's Trav-
els." \ou've never heard of Ron
karange. but you know the Grand
Dragon of the KKK.. You have to
read. Brothers and Sisters. You
have to slop sleep-walking.

When you go home this sum-
mer, enlighten yourselves. Take a
part in the movements. When you
look at the |)ast tragic events, you
anticipate a long, hot riotous sum-
mer. Be ready!

shall be all

the same shall be afforded to our
aged who are retired or are living
in institutions.

We shall rxpaml all the benefits
of health that a st.ite and nation
should afforil its people ^o that no
man. wuniaii or child in our midst
shall suffer needlessly for lack of
the physical attention that modern
science and medicine can afford.
This same concern we shall ex-
press toward the menial health of
nil our ])eu|iles also, and to erase
llie stigma of a person's having
gone to Mi!lcdgeville and elevate
it to a privilege.
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY,
LAW AND ORDER

Wc do not view law and order
in tile terms of a Governor who
expresses pride in the issuance of
ax-handles as tlie synd>ol of how
to contrnl people. We view law
ami dider as llie pro\ iruc of everv
.ili/.en from child U, old man.
fiom student to polii cman. from
the cradle to the grave but NOT
as a means of forcing our people
to do what ihey do not want to do,
but as a means of inspiring tlieni
to do of their own free wills what
is best for the whole.

Just as we would strive to take
the stigma off of Milledgeville, we
would also seek to take it off of
Reidsville, the county farms and
our juvenile detention centers and
our jails, as well as from our |)o-
licemen and all of our ([uestion-
able law enforcement ))ractiees.
W'e would have the peojile love the
law instead of to fear it. for then
they would be just as interested
in enforcing it as we were who
would wear the badges and robes.

WELFARE AND POVERTY

We would work to eliminate
both welfare and poverty by ex-
panding opportunities for all of
our peoples rather than contrib-
uting needlessly to the present sys-
tem of patch-up methods. We
would go to the sources of unem-
ployment, insufficient incomes and
degrading existences rather than
attempt to outlay vast sums to
cover up ugly social sores.
HOUSING

We would seek to eliminate sub-
standard housing by methods
which are not now in evidence.
One of the first orders of business
would he the creation of a State
Public Housing Authority, such as
that which Governor Maddox re-
cently vetoed.
EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES

We would support the minimum
wage law and raise the pay of all
State employees. We would be a
friend of organized labor, yet we
w^ould not be governed by any fac-
tion. We would call attention to
the lack of Black civil service em-
ployees in small towns,
BUSINESS. INDUSTRY AND
FINANCE

Although we are a poor man's
crusade. Black and white alike, we
are also no enemy to men of busi-
ness, industry and finance. All
that we would demand of them is
to give the less fortunate a chance.
We sliall not be indifferent to
those leaders in this field who
have no malicious record against
laboring people. We would attract
an even wider diversity of busi-
ness.

We would encourage the cutting
through of much of the red tape
for securing small business loans.
"We would s[ieak to the prolifera-
tion of devious loan agencies not
bound by the rules of the Federal
Reserve System.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND
RURAL SERVICES

We are the farmer's friends and
we support the positive aspects of
the proposals of the Association of
County Commissioners as they
have outlined it during their re-
cent convention, of which the pres-
entation of the C. B. King for
Governor Campaign Organization
and Platform are a significant and
even historic part. We intend to
establish or work for the establish-
ment of State Farmers Markets.

We do not support the consoli-

we su[i-

port and intend to expedite the
consolidation of needful and agree-
able services across county lines.

AESTHETIC, CL^LTURAL AND
RECREATIONAL
We intend to give Georgia an
administration which would erect
great Inndimirks in the Hcsthetic.
cultural and recreational develop-
ment of our slate. We would con-
serve our natural resources and
present strong legislation and
executive orders to effectively
guard our people and our environ-
ment from the terrifying ami awe-
some pollution which so realislic-
ally threaten to destroy us.

EDUCATION

We would like to see and do
promise to open a Juniin' College
in Soulhwcsl Atlanta and in need-
ed comnmnilies all over Georgia.
Higher e<lucation for Georgians
must become as free ns any other,
and we promise to insure this. We
jiromise lo nnikc the Georgia
Board of Regents a more respon-
sible body.

Our cmpliasis in education
would be upon quality rather than
upon emotions and controversial
issues. If we make all of tlic
schools in Georgia GOOD schools,
much that is now raging would
soon abate. The tragedy all over
Georgia and much of the rest of
the nation is the sheer ignorance
of too many of our higli school
graduates. High school education
in loo many areas has lost its re-
spect and too many high school
graduates cannot make a living.
"Education" in too many eases
has turned out to be mia-cduca-
lion, and in some eases even no-
education. We would establish a
statewide kindergarten system.

Teachers must be granted more
dignity with a further reduction
of the teacher-pujiil ratio, and the
erection of a tenure system lo i)ro-
tect them in their jobs from politi-
cal persecution and unfair per-
sonal retributions. And whetlier
they be Black or white, good quali-
fied leacliers will be the first order
of business of the C. B. King Ad-
ministration.

The schools must not be places
where our children would l)egin
lo go astray. Religion is not the
enemy of our children, but jjoor
schools, inferior teachers, and all
ill-informed parents are.
COiNSTITUTlONAL REVISION

We support Constitutional Re-
vision and would abet this move-
ment in all constructive and jiosi-
tive ways.

didn't observe the mourning
period, you could at least have

Now, the last of the three ring

During the tribute, instead of
singing or listening to what was
going on, I spotted a few sitting
on cars, probably gelling their
party plans together. I guess they
said that since the Mississippi stu-
dents weren't Ques, it was no con-
cern of theirs.

In the evening, the loudest thing
lo hear were some "strung out"
Ques putting on an ignorant show
in the park. Hell! Tlie frats are
supposed to be group leaders, all
except the Alphas, APO's, and Sig-
mas participated in the tribute.
Tlie Ques didn't sing anything that
morning, but five miles away that
evening, it was "Que Psi Phi until
the day I die!" Brothers, you're
already dead, in the mind. You
performing guys are lost. A few
of the seniors, Keals, Rulley and

mend them. One senior did. and
he knows who I'm talking about.

will know that you've thought
about what I've said. Just remem-
ber, a non-phi-non that is Black
gets the same treatment as that of
a Black Beta. Are you willing to

selves from society? Take a stroll

DYNAMIC DUO ON SECURITY

By Curtbe

the first week of Mari^h tliis "Dy-
namic Duo" made extensive
studies of tlie security systems nl
the University of Georfiia, Georgia
Institute of Tcchnolog)' an<l Geor-
gia Southern. The duo found
many interesting services being
performed by the various security
systems. Tlie three institutions
.studied arc leaders in the state in
terms of security. The etjuipment
being used is modern and is read-
ily purchased to meet needs of
security in keeping the campuses
siife for the students. The protec-
tion of life, limb and, ])roperly is
a vital operation on any college
cani|)us and deserves the same re-
spect given any other college op-
eration as outlined by the set-urity
arlministralors interviewed. Tlie
Dynamic Duo observed that all
emergency vehicle-s arc clearly
marked and tlial the students re-
gard the presence of campus se-
curity officiiils as being providers
of very ne('{psary emergency serv-
ices. In most instances, on the
campuses visited the students back
up the security offitials in kecjiing
the peace and assisting with emer-
gency eases requiring and lu lance
service, first aid, search and res-
cue, fines, traffic violation'-, etc.
Tliese colleges have student Judi-
ciary Conunittees llial liear misde-
meanor casis and traffic viola-
tions. Tlie committees are staffeil
by competent students wlio adhere
to ilie same rules relative to the
presentation of evidence as any
observer ivould find in a regular
court. If the eviden<-e is suffieient
the students may assess penalties
or make recommendations to llie
administration. In casrs dial in-
volve serious offenses the students
bind tliese felonies over to an
off-campus court. The general at-
mos])liere of the campusi-s visited
reflected outstanding concern on
the part of the protection of pri-
vate property as well as that prop-
erty tliat is a part of the total in-
stitutional complex. Several stu-
dents were interviewed as to their

rt Burton
reactions to offenders who break
and enter rooms and take personal
property such as TV's, etc. The
students replied that ibey expect
full police cooperation in llie ap-
preliension of the offenders and
further indicated that one of their
most pressing demands is the pro-
tection of life and property so that
their academic pursuits will not be
thwarted. Tlie "Dynamic Duo"
moved in on a group of students
standing around several high per-
formance vehicles on the Univer-
sity of Georgia's campus. Chief
Howard, all togged down in a
))eauliful blue blazer, grey trous-
ers, while shirt witli french cuffs,
black plain tued shoes, and a beau-
tiful grey tie, began to rap. "Good
brothers." the chief said, "How do
you feel about students who
scratch off, squeal tires, hazard
the lives of their fellow students
with reikless driving?" The stu-
denl*;. all in the hi|i vein, replied:
"'Like dig. Chief, a 'Cat" who drives
like that is immature and this is
the only way he can gel attention."
A "Cliick" tlint digs his action is
just as lame as he is. and furllier-
more, "Fu/z Baby" these "Detroit

equi[iment and practices in opera-
tion. To provide emergency serv-
ices the following equipment was
recommended:

1. Radio communications sys-
tem.

2. All patrol vehicles should be
equipjjed lo serve as ambulances,
first aid, etc.

3. A communications center for
the purpose of receiving and de-
livering emergency messages, se-
cuiity office, radio shack, etc.

4. Student participation in the
security [irogriun.

After covering three campuses,
the duo retired at the plush Pas-

where they held follow-up discus-
sions on the highlights of the trip.

Mr. Polite and Miss Respect

A letter of criticism about the

of our lO'J freshman students.
Why don't you Join tlie staff and
you won't be complaining about
the "sorry pa|)er," as you de-
scribed it. L.Y.G.

Well, the quarter is about to end

gressing very well in sorting out
their mail, along with our broad-

Kappas, you have a nice park
being constructed. Wlien are you
going to complete it? Time is

Why can't young men call for
young ladies after 11:00?

Mr. 0.

When are our activities going
to begin? Mr. 0.

Why do some young ladies go
to all extremes to get a man?
Mr. Y.

The students are complaining
about their "Special Delivery"
mail, because it is not being de-
livered on time. Students

Confusion arises when one does
not mind liis business. If everyone
[iractices minding his business,
there will be less confusion among
jieople in general. True., you may
not agree, but if you are involved
then do not get involved, M.F.

There are trash cans on campus,
so be aware of not littering the
campus with paper and beer cans.

The grass is coming along fine.
It would be better if you stay off

About Noise

By Earl Nightingale

The German philosopher, Ar-
thur Schopenhauer has written
that, "The amount of noise which
anyone can bear undisturbed
stands in inverse proportion to his
mental capacity, and may there-
fore be regarded as a pretty fair
measure of it . . . Noise is a tor-
ture to all intellectual people."

A good indication of the truth
of that statement can be observed
by watching children grow up.
Children in the first few grades
shout at each other constantly, at
the very top of their lungs. Any-
one who has ever had to go
through taking a small child to a
children's matinee can attest to
that, or you have only to watch
them on the school playgrounds.
As they move up in the grades,
the noise level lessens. And even
in a class of very young people it
is generally true that the quietest
children are the most intelligent.
Finally, boys and girls of sixteen
and seventeen are far quieter iJian
children of seven or eight. College
classes are very quiet, and classes
of graduate students even quieter.

The more intelligent a person
becomes, the more his voice wilt
diminish in volume. 1 suppose
everyone knows that there is noth-
ing to be gained by loud talking
or shouting. The quiet, controlled
voice is infinitely more effective,
for example, in dealing with small
children. It almost always results
in their becoming quieter and
more thoughtful themselves.

Shouting, or loud talking is al-
most always a sign of inferiority,
real or imagined. It hurls the ears
and grates on the nerves and
causes real fatigue. People who
tend to raise their voices when
they gel angry should try to do
just the opposite. Tliey'd be far
more effective and would tend to
retain better control of themselves.

Schopenliauer's comment is un-
scientific, carries no proof and is
probably a personal prejudice, but
I tend lo go along with it. If
you've got a wife, or husbanrl, or
youngsters who get on your nerves
by talking loo loudly, toss the
quotation at them. Here it is
again, try lo remember it:

"Tlie amount of noise which
anyone can bear undisturbed
stands in inverse proportion to his
mental capacity, and may there-
fore be regarded as a pretty fair
measure of it . . . Noise is a tor-
ture to all intellectual people."

If you find it difficult to memo-
rize on sucli short notice, here's an

SPORTS IN LIMELIGHT

Marching Tigers
Say Help! Help!

By Harry B. James, ill
In any good organization there
must be sincere and dedicated
workers to insure success. The
Marching Tigers of Savannah
Slate College are desperately in
need of sincere musicians, scholar-
ships for prospective performers,
and support from the students and
faculty members. Without this
needed support the Marching
Tigers will not be able to per-
form at their best this year.

President of the band, Law-
rence Polite, stated what the band
must have is financial support.
We Tigers are all for the hand
when they perform a top half-
time show, but we seem to forget
them after football season. The
purpose of this article is to make
you readers aware that without
the help of the fraternities and
sororities and other functions on
campus the band will be greatly
hindered this year.

The dedicated band members
practice long and hard hours so
we Tigers will not be emharrased
going up against such great bands
as Florida A&M and Soulli Caro-
lina State. But unless more of you
secret musicians join the band the
Tigers will slay small when an
institution of this size should have
a marching family of 130 pieces.
Scholarships in band at SSC
are few and limited in financial
assistance. This deplorable condi-
tion must be rectified to insure
talented musicians a fair chance
at a college education. Help
brothers, help sisters. President
Jordan is trying very hard to work
with the hand and with help.
musicians who are able to meet
the demands of the department
will receive full scholarships start-
ing this fall quarter.

This year all football fans will
agree that the band should travel
on all trips with the team. The
football team will need State's
goodwill ambassadors more than
ever, being in a rougher confer-
ence. To make 5 trips, the band
must have S;^.000. Where will it
come from? What about you
doing your fair share?

The band will have a new look
this year so Tigers beware. Also,
the band will be sporting new
jackets in the fail. But remember
unless you join the band and sup-
port them financially don't pat
your back when they shine on the
field.

With unlimited organizations on
the campus the band is the only
one that practices sincerely all
year around and receives little
recognition. Where would we be
without the band at a football
game or homecoming? Are you
thinking yet? Being a part of the
band builds character and leader-
ship, \l this article hits your funny
bone wait and see how funny it
will he this coming fall. Are you
laughing?

BASEBALL WRAP-UP

By Harry B. James, III
The baseball team finishing
with a win, loss record of 9 wins
and 7 defeats was outstanding con-
sidering the team of past seasons.
Head coach Myles did an outstand-
ing job to pool mostly freshmen
together to beat such teams as
Morris Brown, Clark and SCAT.
In the game against SCAT Tigers
pitcher Bobby Ward bettered his
old strikeout record by sending
16 unhappy SCAT players to the
dugout.

The individual players records
are as follows: Joe Davis, short

with 15 runs in 25 hits with one

went by the boards when the home
team charged back with three
seventh-inning runs to move well
ahead.

Ted Smith Voted
Most Outstanding
Trackman

The SSC cindermen going into
a new conference found itself
facing an ordeal unequal to any
in the jiast. But the track team
did hold its own fairly well. The
bright spot on the Savannah Slate
track team is freshman Sprinter
Ted Smith who earned a reputa-
tion throughout the SIAC for his
outstanding style and running
ability.

Ted is also an outstanding
figure among the members of the
track team and highly respected
for his determination and effort
put forth in any race he partici-
pated in. Another outstanding
cinderman was Curt Richburg, a
speedster who ran the mile (4
min., 28 sec), 880, and the mile
relay. Tom Harris a young but
very promising fieldman who has
done a very good job bringing in
points for SSC. Cecil Turner, also
a freshman, who is an excellent
sprinter in spite of liis style and
size.

Cross Country

SSC having a cross country
team for the first time held its
own very well against very, very
tough competition such as Univer-
sity of Georgia, Georgia Tech,
Fisk, University of Florida, Tuske-
gee Institute, and many more.
Much credit for the success of the
SSC roadrunncra is due to the
"Roadrunner" himself, Curt Ricli-
burg, who led tlie SSC Road-

9hi|i Cross Country race. The SSC
roadrunners won over Fort Valley

So Breeds the Race How's Your Creed?

Earl Nightingale

Some years back, a scientist,
physician, researcher and writer,
a Dr. Logan Clendening, had a
few things lo say about the ramlom
and careless manner in wliicli
most people choose llicir mates.
He said we should exercise a great
deal more care in the choosing of
those who arc to be the mothers
and fathers of our children. Of
course that works both ways.

But the thing that slops the good
doctor, is love, whatever that is.
He wrote:

"Without love ... if we could
disregard love, disregard physical
attractiveness: if I had the power
to breed men and women as 1
liked, I could in about five
centuries produce a lacc of men
whose averaj,e duration of life
would be about two hundred and
fifty years: and another race wlm
^vould die of senility, bald, tooth-
less and blind at the age of fifteen.
I could produce a race of tall,
enormously strong, shaggy-haired
men, and another of small, shy
absolutely hairless men.

"1 could produce a race of
women who would have lon^,
purple plumes growing from their
foreheads and hanging to their
heels and a race of men with two
enormous bright scales over their
ears."

Shades of the mad scientist! Of
course the doctor didn't say how
he could manage to remain alive
for the necessary five centuries.
And, then, one of those women
with the i)urple plumes would be
certain to fall in love with one of
those little hairless guys and foul
up the whole experiment.

But the doctor goes on to say
that he's not a fool. He knows
pcifecily -tvcll thai nothing of the
sort is going to happen. Men are
not going to embrace eugenics.
They are going to embrace the
first likely, trim-figured girl with
limpid eyes and flashing teeth wlio
comes along in spile of the fact
that her germ i)lasm is jjrobably
reeking with hypertension, hemo-
philia, color-blindness, hay fever,
epilepsy, and a few other things.
He says that it's a natural fact that
those people wlio have all of these
excrescences ready to break out,
are in youth the loveliest sons and
daughters of men. They are charm-
ing, jovial, fun-loving, laugh-pro-
voking, filled eternally with a kind
of devine ecstasy. And in their
bodies there is a gind of ethereal
transparency to their skin. Tliere
hangs about them an unearthly
well, enough of that.

No we can't pick our parents.
But we d<ni't need to. Since they're
the result of centuries of natural
selection, they jiassed along a lut
of natural endowments and
strengths along with the few short-
comings we're aware of.

The thing is not to complain
about what we haven't got, but
make the best possible use of what
we have. We'll find more than
enough lo achieve those things
upon which we set our hearts. We
don't need more than we've got.
What we need is something that
will motivate us lo use more of
what we have: to lill more of the
fertile land now lying fallow just
waiting fi)r the seed befnre it can
produce the harvest.

Of this we can be certain: each
of us was given a great hereditary
gift. Our job is to find it and
develop it, to help it grow into
ripeness and fulfillment.

There is lurking deep within
each of us thai which will take us
on the road lo greatness; that
which will bring us all the abund-
ance we seek, and more. There is
a secret treasure born uilh every
child.

Earl Nightingale
Do you live by a creed? I mean,
do you have a code lo live by
which reflects your own thinking
and your own altitude toward the
world and its people? Or do you
find yourself going along with the
crowd saying what they say
doing what they do?

Here's a creed I ran across that
I liked very much. See what you
think about it as a creed to live
by:

My creed: To love justice, to
long for the right, lo love mercy,
to pity the suffering, lo assist the
weak, to forget wrongs and remem-
ber benefits, to love the truth, lo
be sincere, to utter lionesl words,
to love liberty, to wage relentless
war against slavery in all its forms,
to love nife and child and friend,
lo make a hajjpy home, to love
the beautiful in art, in nature, lo
cultivate the mind, lo be familiar
\\'i\\\ the mighty thoughts that
genius has expressed, the noble
deeds of all the worlil; lo cultivate
courage and cheerfulness, to make
others hapi)y, lo fill life with ihe
s|)lendor of generous acts, tlie
warmth of loving words; lo dis-
card error, to destroy prejudice,
lo receive new truths with glad-
ness, to cultivate hope, to see the
calm beyond the storm, the dawn
beyond the night, to do the best
that can be done and then be
resigned.

Pretty good creed to live by,
isn't it? Wouldn't it be great if
every person used this as the blue-
print for his life? ". . . to love
the truth, to be sincere, to forget
wrongs and remember benefits, to
cultivate courage and cheerfulness,
to receive new truths with glad-
ness, to cultivate hope."

And I particularly like the way
it ends, ". . . to see the calm be-
yond the storm, the dawn beyond
the night, to do the best that can
be done and then be resigned."

"Very few people have the
wisdom and serenity lo see beyond
the problem of the minute. Instead,
they become completely embroiled
in it. lose sight of the main course
and direction of their lives, walk
the brink of panic or a nervous
breakdown (whatever that is I,
only lo find themselves eventually
thiough llie storm and in calm
waters again. Instead of learning
from this, the next problem will
again put them through the same
wringer, and leave them just as
worn out. physically and emotion-
ally, and just as immature.

The wise man or woman knows
that present problems will be re-
solved just as past ones have been
and takes them in stride with in-
telligent creativity. All we can do
is our best, and then be resigned,
knowing that we have only to do
our best each day to finally win
this game.

". . . lo love wife and child and
friend, to make a happy home, to
love the beautiful in art, in nature,
lo cultivate the mind, to be
familiar with the mighty thoughts
that genius has expressed, the
noble deeds of the world; to culti-
vate courage and cheerfulness, to
make others happy, to fill life with
the splendor of generous acts, the
warmth of loving words . . ."

Yes, a person could study this
creed each morning before start-
ing the day, until he knew it by
heart and lived it every minute of
his days. He would achieve every-
thing worthwhile during his life-
time ; he would be loved and
revered by his family and friends.

Suspicion, envy, greed and fear
have always been far more com-
mon among men than love,
courage, cheerfulness and kind-
ness. The majority has never
known, and apparently doesn't
want to know, how lo live suc-
cessfully.

easier one: "Empty vessels make
the most noise."

I used lo wonder why I used
to get so tired during a long air-
plane flight. 1 finally discovered,
or think I discovered, that it was
the constant noise. I find myself
less tired, more relaxed on some
of the newer jets which have a
lower noise level.

A friend of mine and his wife,

who had six young children,
bought an old limousine at a real
bargain. It was the kind with the
glass divider between the driver's
seat and the back seats. On long
trips they'd put the children in
the back, roll up the glass divider
and travel in wonderful peace and

was also plenty of room for the

Somehow it's almost impossible

A person should speak just loudly

Hosea Williams-The Black Messiah Awakens

SSC's Summer School and
Savannah, Georgia

HOSEA WILLIAMS RAPS AT HILL HALL

ISeiv Era for Black Candidates

Blackshear and Williams Announce
Candidacy for Ga/s General Assembly

Savannah, Georgia's own re-
turned Friday, July 21; as a re-
sult Savannah Stale College's Siun-
nier Session and the Savannah
Community will never be tlie same
since Hosea Williams awakened
them to the tune of involvement.

Williams' first public speech
was made at Savannah Slate Col-
lege. His sponsors were the Black
Action Committee, BAC. His topic
was "The Black Student's Role in
Today's Endeavors."

Many strong phrases were made
concerning blacks who are being
continually brainwashed by the
whites. He went on to say tliat
many black students after attend-
ing while colleges become whiten-
ized. Statistics were presented by
Williams to bring more force to
the former statements. He gave the
percentage as being 96.6 for blacks
who join the white bandwagon,
leaving only 3.4 percent to remain
in the black race, mentally and
physically. Yet these Uncle Toms
do not realize that they are still
considered niggers in the eyes of
the white man.

There is a new era occurring in
the state of Georgia with Black
men boldly stepping forward to
obtain seals in the Georgia law-
making body.

Rev. Jessie Blackshear, a stu-
dent of SSC and C. A. (All Wil-
liams of Liberty County are run-
ning for ihe Georgia General
Assembly. They have several quali-
fications that classify them as
perfect candidates. The qualifica-
tions are: they are black, young.

Black African
Seminar

An expeditious effort to pro-
mote a realistic understanding and
awareness of our origins, is the
functional aim of the Black
African Seminar.

Judging from a recent interview
uilli Mrs. Julia H. Bennett, who
is chairman of the seminar, one
could see the potential benefit
that an organization of tliis nature
could be to ihe student body of
this campus.

The members of the seminar
have as recently as last summer,
completed a very educational trip
to the continent of Africa. Some
of the rewards received from the
trip is described in the following
by Mrs. Bennett: "There was a
more vivid awareness of actual
Africa, as opposed to what is
shown on television. There was
actually seen by the students,
countries which were being run
entirely by Blacks, this was a great
shot in the arm for them. For
most, for the first time, there was
the feeling of being a part of a
majority.'

To some, who are vaguely
familiar with the seminar, there
seemed to be the criticism of hav-
ing loo many meelings- To ihose,
Mrs. Bennett informs, that these
frequencies were due for the most
pari, because of the increase in
student participation, another rea-
son being, that she has been work-
ing simultaneously with members
of ihe old group, and present one,
in an effort lo combine both as
one.

gifted, have a desire lo serve, and
they are concerned.

Blackshear is running for the
seat lo the General Assembly from
the 91st district. His platform is
as follows: (1) plans to support
teacher tensure law, l2l supports
a non-partisan tax study review
board, (3) supports environ-
mental control board, (4) works
toward bringing new industry lo
the community. (5( will work
with the Chatham County Delega-
tion, and l6) supports a stronger
school system.

Blackshear is a sophomore
majoring in Sociology at SSC.
His main aim is to give good
representation and service to the
people of the 91st district.

Al Williams is a citizen of
Liberty County. He is running for
the seat lo the Georgia Assembly
from Liberty and Mcintosh Coun-
ties. This young black has a strong
desire to serve the people; a Irait
recently assumed by black men.

Williams has a platform that
holds the best interest of his fellow
community members. It is as fol-
lows: )1) supports a state sup-
ported kindergarten, (2) plans to
introduce legislation that i\ould
aUow residents of newly anne.xed
Hinesvilie to vote separately as to
whether or not they want annexa-
tion, l3) opposes any increase in
the slate sales lax law, (4) pledges
lo put forth an honest effort
toward bringing new industry to
both counties, and (5 1 plans to
form a fifteen member committee
to keep the office of stale repre-
sentative informed as lo the wishes
of the people.

His main reason for running
is so that the middle class and the
little man of Liberty and Mcintosh
Counties will have a voice in the
government.

Students of SSC are urged to
support these two blacks in any
way possible. To obtain informa-
tion concerning Rev. Jessie Black-
hear, consult Dorarell B. Edlers,
Clementine Sellers, or Shelia Clem-
mons. For further information
concerning C. A. Williams con-
tact Denise Hickman or Essie
Stewart,

The Black Messiah rapped about
the "Brain-Orain" which occurs
from black mothers who arc not
receiving adequate pre-natal care
during iheir pregnancies.

Prior to Williams' arrival an
independent speaker who termed
himself as a "bad Savannah nig-
ger," sharply criticized Savannah
Stale's stagnant administration.
Remarks were also made by him
concerning the instructors at Slate
wtio are not working for the Black
Cause. These comments were made
because many of Savannah State's
instructors were not present at llie
program.

"Wearing disikes, long hair and
beads does not mean anything,"
staled Williams, if ihe young
blacks are not associated with ihe
cause. He also slated that black
students should start knocking on
doors of opportunity insteiul of
sitting in dorms on their rumps.

Concerning the election, Wil-
liams made comments about all of
the black candidates running. They
are C. B. King who is running for
governor, Mr. D. F. Glover, a can-

didate for Ll. Governor, Mrs. Ju-
nita Williams (Hosea Williams'
wifel who is running for Comp-
troller General against nine white
candidates, and himself.

By electing black candidrfles as
heads in Georgia it will black of-
ficial to initiate reforms in the
Welfare Deparlmenl, the Pardon
and Parole Board and the Board
of Regents.

Leaving SSC and a|)eaking that
night at the Pilgrim Baptist
Church, Williams challenged tlic
black leaders of Savannah to stand
up and be counted as true black
men or tliey will end up as being
Uncle Toms selling the race out.

He attacked the black organiza-
tions, Ihe NAACP, The Black Cru-
sade for Voters and the SCLC for
knocking eacli other. Williams
pointeil out ils uselessness to the
black cause.

Other Black speakers on the
program were Attorney Bobby
Mayfield, Rev. J. C. Collins, Ben
Clarke, the lillle man with the big
idea who has been through white
Hell in Savaimah.

Like the flower awakes in spring
to start a new life, the campus of
SSC must awake from its Dark
Age and start a new life.

Tightly locked in ihe rom-
munily of Thunderbolt, Savatiniili
State lies in a stale of non aetivily
unaffected by the conflicts that
plague black Americans today.

Campuses are reacting all over
the United States, but SSC does
not react. The only action that
occurs is National Drunk Day,
Friday when everyone hcails for
the package shop to attain a lovely

The students of the campus liavc
failed to realize that blacks have
very little time for liquor.
Especially when incidents like
those in Jacksonville, Missis<ip|)i
and Augusta. Georgia occur. Their
primary aim should be to repay
whiley for approximately ,'iOO
years of injustice.

It is true the students of SSC
are dissatisfied with national and
local affairs but tliey remain quiet,
like Nixon's invention, the silent
majority. This must stop.

The student's protest that oc-
curred during the Winter quarter
was a hopeful sign; however, wlien
President Jordan announced his
disapproval and the wishy wasliy
replies to the demands were dis-
tributed the hope faded like a
meteor in the night.

It is ignorant for SSC to remain
idle while other campuses are in-
volving themselves in programs
like the Pan African Movement.

Involvement has got to come to

Dark Ages

SSC

SSC. So far it seems this campus
is still kissing the feet of white
Savannahians and the black
middle class Savannahians by re-
maining quiet.

Leaders are needed at SSC to
rally the students together. I'nity
is a must for this sleepy campu'^.
By coming togetlier the student
body will be able to initiate re-
forms on campus and make Savan-
nah aware of its existence.

Instead of concerning them-
selves ivilb getting out of Dr.
Dean, Mr. Mason or Dr. E. K.
Williams classes, the students of
SSC should come alive, voice their
ojiinions, riot: even burning down
the administration building would
be good for a start.

It i^eems as if this campus is in
a world of its own. Everyone is
talking about doing something,
but no one is doing a tiling! If
the students are contented with the
slink conditions and inactivity on
tliis campus while they are attend-
ing, they will be satisfied with the
conditions of the world as a whole
once they are thrust into it. Does
anyone give a damn?

If you the student body of SSC
are contented with your present
state of inactivity more power to
your foolishness. Remember an
education is not everything in this
sick society you inliabit. You have
got to open your mouths and use
a little force to gel ahead,

SSC must awake from its dark
age before it is loo late. Action,
and action now is the cry. Re-
maining silent will not get you
anywhere.

Tlie Tiger's Roar student publi-
cation will take on a new look at
the beginning of the 1970-71
school year. No longer will this
|ia[>cr be a showcase of four glossy
pages, it will be a true voice of
ihc Black students who attend this
college.

This change was a necessary
one. A time of commitment was
i\\ie for some phase of this college.
This college paper will be the be-
ginning. It will rise from a pro-
lougi'd and unnecessary servitude
iniposeJ upon it by previous edi-
tors.

The college paper will not stray
aivay from the responsibilities of
a college press. By denouncing
the archaic chains the paper will
serve a greater purpose to the col-
lege community and the Savannah
community. Instead of being a
repetition account of what has oc-
curred, this paper will inform and
arouse. This interest of the two

not a Negro race. He convinced
Black people that they were not
a minority world wide. In the
early and middle 60's Black power
came into existence. It was from
Malcolm's leaching that made
Black people aware of how they
were being oppressed and ex-
ploited. The phrase "Black Power"
meant getting white people out of
the innermost part of Black people
affairs.

vocator of peace. The news press

killed white America's hope for a
peaceful revolution was also killed.

groups mentioned are the two
above.

Some papers have been accused
of giving needless praise and glory
lo the administration of the col-
lege who many students feel are
a hindrance instead of a help to
the institution. Think carefully,
veterans of the college, see if the
Tig(?r's Roar has ever served this
purpose. Do you remember arti-
cles beginning with "President
Jordan announces or Wilton Scott
announces"; well, they are proof
of the following.

However, the students should
realize that the understaffed Ti-
ger's Roar can not make this
change without the assistance of
the student body. Yes, your help
is needed. In order for the school's
paper to become an independent
in its actions and thoughts. No
longer should the students empha-
size the academic gains (this isn't
to say one should put them out of
one's mind completely) but there
are other factors important to get-
ting education in college besides
hooks.

UNCLE TOM OR BLACK . .
WHICH WILL ELDER BE?

Whu, What, When. Where and
is Dorarell B. Elder, the new presi-
dent of SSC's Student Government
Association?

iVIany students only know Elder
by name. And others w^ere fortu-
nate lo hear him in barely audible
speech at the Miss SSC pageant
and a short sweet glimpse of him.

It's ihe general wish of the stu-
dent body that he will not become
a i)uppet of llie administration.
This is not saying he is to become
a puji|)et for the student body but
will he have the interest and gen-
eral understanding of both groups
at heart?

We hope Elder's mind is black-
ingized. SSC does not need an
Uncle Tom leader. He should be
fully aware of the fact this is no

longer a white man's world, but
it is a black man's world too.

Unity is a missing element at
this mighty fortress, SSC. Tliis
necessary characteristic of college
life should he reinstated.

As the school progresses it is
the hope of the student body that
Elder will prove himself as a
leader. Good Black leaders are
like a needle in a haj stack, hard
to find.

Elder has been discussed at
length yet students still remain ig-
norant of bis identity. Will he be
like the "Hooded Claw" whose
name is known only to the Bully
Brothers, or will he be like Bat-
man, whose identity is known only
by Alfred, the butler, and Robin,
the boy wonder.

Speak up or Elder.

VETERANS OF SSC FORM

vannah State College, united in

respect for humanity and everlast-
ing love for our country, do here-

concerned."

This is the pledge of our most
recent resident, organization, the
Savannah State College chapter of
the Veterans Club. Active under
the leadership of James E, Hines,
IN. since Jan. 15, 1970.

As the date indicates it is very
young in lensure, which would
normally lead one to think that it
would still be in the formative
stages. But. due to the compli-
mentary leadership of the follow-
ing, it has developed into the most
penetrative, potentially in-
fluential, organization we have on
campus today, barring none.

Elected officers: James E.
Hines, 111, President; Vice Presi-

dent. Hyland McCarthy : Asst.
Treasurer, Robert L. Mountain;
Treasurer, Lee Verest E.
Rodolph: Parliamentarian, Wil-
liam Gaulden; Secretary, Frankie
H. Collins; Asst., Joenathan J.
Law, Jr.; Sergeant-at-Arms, Willie
Brooks, Jr., and Isiah Williams.
The appointed officers: Public Re-
lations Director, Jessie Bush;
Assisted by Leon C. Greene; Di-
rector of Athletics, Roscoe Ed-
wards, Jr.: Photographer, Erie
Downing; Reporters, Clarence L.
Johnson, and Samuel Chisholm,
Jr. This group is under the ad-
vice of Mr. Matthew H. Howard,
Mr, Rufus Hogan, Mr. John
Mason, and Mr. Arthur T. Kol-
gaklis. And the Counseler is Mr.
Nelson R. Freeman.

Judging from the basis of this
list, if one is familiar with the
names, one would see that these
names represent a cross section of
every student activity on campus,
from Vice President of S.G.A. to
librarian assistant. And, it is with
the organization's assurance that
they intend to work not only for
its members, but for meaningful
contributions on campus as a
whole and in the community.

The Reluriis
Of Returnin"

By Sister M. Odile

Brain-battered indeed was tliat
individual who, once said that
there is no place it is a greater
pleasure to revisit than one in
which you have never been! Ex-
perimentally, I have partaken of
the joys that after two years
absence from Savannah State Col-
lege concomitantly come with re-
turning. In the interim we have all
grown, matured, changed, but in
a less spectacular way than the
architectural output of our sylvan
campus.

Coincidentally, when I came
here four years ago, the John F.
Kennedy building was under con-
struction; synchronously with my
return, the Dr, Martin Luther
King edifice nobly claims pride of
place, not just as student center,
but ostensibly as campus center,
as heart and hub of college life.
Honored are we to have access to
a structure bearing so great a
name and what more commemora-
tive honor for IVIartin Luther King
than that of having his pulsating
name faced by that of Richard
Wright and flanked by a library
which because of him, his life, his
death, his dream, is bibliographic-
ally all the richer?

Enshrined in our masonry is he

Whose martyred heart lies still;

Envisioned in celestial bliss that
soul

The soul that violence van-
quished not.

The soul of Martin Luther King.

In the name of those students
who are with us this summer and
vicariously for those who are not,
I hereby extend the hand of wel-
come to our esteemed and
estimable Mr. McAfee- One period
in a history class of his is suffi-
cient to make one his permanent
debtor.

As an accessory part of the Edu-
cation Workshop, the presence and
liveliness of young children con-
tribute a new dimension to Savan-
naii State at the present time.
Older children too are around
"Upward Bounders" we call them
and they, under the aegis of
Mrs. Ellen Fisher, competent
tutors, able councillors form a
large, a closely knit family. The
thing about Mrs. Fisher that we
all admire is that she always has
time for everybody.

The current quarter has also
brought some eminent academi-
cians from the LL S. Office of
Education, Washington to Savan-
nah State, With the members of
the Reading Institute, as well as
with the College Reading students
Dr. Paul Allen, Dr. Thomas Ed-
wards and Dr. Donald Cleland
perceptibly added to our tradi-
tional and contemporary knowl-
edge in this rather controversial
field. More pertinent to the col-
lege at large was the return on
July 16 of "a native son," a
former faculty member, Dr. Wil-
liam Hal la way, representing that
branch of HEW called Equal Edu-
cation Opportunity. The kernel of
his speech was, that, unless we
have a united nation we'll have no
nation at all. Aptly, he prefaced
his talk with a remark on the
difficulty of reconciling the Sa-
vannah State campus of yesterday
with that of today. Would you
believe that on that same after-
noon, Mr. Wade Simmons, Princi-
pal of Harris Reading Center and
a one-time student of S.S.C. lost
his way in coming to Payne Hall?
A few more buildings will have
to form a denser labyrinth around
Payne Hall before it becomes terra
incognito to me unpretentious
Payne Hall with its rear in the
marsh, its face in the sun, its in-
side ever embedded in the inside
of me. Multitudinous blessings on
ALL!

Britt Discusses Black Art In America

American Black Art. Any good
Art produced by the American
Black man. Telling the true stories
of his existence and his experi-
ences in America, this is American
Black Art.

And for over 400 years this
Black man has produced good art
of some kind in this country,
keeping records of its pleasant
and unpleasant developmental
stages.

We all know about how the
majority of the Black population
began here because we have read
and we have been told about this
lazy, contaminating, destructive,
illiterate, property depreciating
nigger, colored, darkey, boy,
uncle, Annie. These are the names
we as black people have been
called.

As a Black Artist in America

Book Review Spotlights DiiBois

And Benedict Views On Blacks

The Souls of Black Folk

By W. E. Burghardt DuBois
The Sojils of Biack Folk is more
history-making than historical. It
is, among other things, a statement
of personal attitudes and princi-
ples that have determined the
public career of a great man for
more than half a century. A career
that has profoundly influenced
the thoughts and actions of thou-
sands of people, white as well as
black, abroad as well as at home.
The Souls oj Black Folk is a
landmark in both the literary and
Social History of the American
Negro, and its re-publication will
serve a twofold purpose: ill it
will give to this new and freer
generation of Negroes a vivid pic-
ture of social and spiritual handi-
caps under which their parents
labored; and |2) for those of us
who grew up in the first decades
of the century, it will remind us
of the debt we owe lo Dr. DuBois
for the intellectual and spiritual
leadership he gave us during
those "darker" years.

Accustomed to the strident
clamorings of present day protest
we are shocked at the "tory" atti-
tude which Dr. DuBois lakes
toward the black peasant, the poor
white and the upper class of both
groups. For example . . . We would
attribute these lines to the militant
Dr. DuBois:

'i should be the last to deny the
patent weaknesses and short-
comings of the Negro people:
I sliould be the last to with-
hold sympathy for the white
South in its efforts to solve its
intricate social problems. I
freely acknowledge that a
partially undeveloped people
should be ruled by the best of

their stronger and better
neighbors for their own good,
until such times as they can
start and fight the world's
battles alone."
The Souls of Black Folk was
anathematized by Southern whites.
They branded it incendiary and
its author was considered a
dangerous radical. This novel was
designed lo give while America
a true picture of racial oppression
and injustice, and its author was
a scholar as well as a propa-
gandist. DuBois did not allow
'race pride" to blind him of the
obvious shortcomings of his peo-
ple. But for the same reason, he
also refused to soften the other
side of the picture for purposes of
appeasement.

DuBois writes a lucid, forceful
and moving prose. It is eminently
suited to the purposes for which
he uses it: the scholarly presenta-
tion of historical and social facts
or the driving home of contro-
versial issues. He had an im-
portant message for America, and
he expresses it effectively and at
limes brilliantly.

Much of the material is "dated"
because of its tropical nature, the
work as a whole will live for the
historian and the social scientist.
The portrayal of the social and
economic conditions of the South-
ern Black at the turn of the
century is and will remain valu-
able source material because it is
the work of an able, well-trained
and highly gifted scholar. This
book should live for yet another
reason : it should serve to keep
fresh for Black intellectuals the
name of the leader who, above all
others, kept alive the spark of
protest when it was both easy and
profitable to let it die.

Blacklash

By Stewart H. Benedict
Blacklash is the story of Ameri-
can Negroes in their fight for
equality, recognition, power and
identity. It reflects the major
trends and events of the Black pro-
test movement. The author dedi-
cated this book to those \vho are
uorking so that the voices
recorded in the book will not fall
on empty hearts.

Like many other ideas and
movements attributed to our
century, black protest is not a
recent development. It began when
the first potential slave stormed
the walls of a West African stock-
ade or used his own chains to
strangle himself or leaped to a
sure death from the deck of a
slave-ship-
Benedict states that the reaction
lo the Atlanta Compromise was
the first major role displayed by
Booker T. Washington. The At-

lanta Compromise had its success
as well as failures. Its success was
his being able to get both races
to agree with him at the same
time. Its failures was caused by
him telling the president that
Negroes did not need any civil
rights, political power, and it
wasn't necessary for Negroes to
be further educated.

In 1915 there was Marcus
Garvey's Back to Africa Move-
ment. Garvey was an immigrant
from West Indies. His assertion
that '"Black Is Beautiful" and his
organizational abilities brought
him over a million adherents by
1923. Later. 1927 he was con-
victed and charged for being a
political prisoner.

During the 1920's and 30's it
was black writers who originated
the concept of self-respecting, in-
dependent American Black men
(Continued on Page 2)

plied, and our Art works have
been described as Art of no
quality. But fellow Americans,
these statements are true,

I realize that it is almost im-
possible for you to refer to written
records in American History and
find much of anything different.

But I'm here today and will try
telling you of some of the out-
standing American Biack Artists
and their contributions to the
development of this country
through Art.

For some unknown reasons our
printed matter has found linrdly
any reason to print and publish
about the American Black Artist
and his Art.

For some unknown reason we
read in our books about Spanish
artists, German artists, Italian
artists, Greek artists, Roman
artists, French artists and others.
But the poor Black American
never did a damn thing. See your
Art History Books, your American
Art History Book or your Ameri-
can History I wonder why?

But we all know that when the
first ship came lo America, Black
men came and when Coronada
came, black men came. It was not
until the 1800's that we are able
to find any fairly good records

showing the names of any Black
American Artist, but we know
they were here. We read from the
stories of the Negro retold by
Carter Goodwin Woodson ihat
many of the people from Black
Africa possessed many outstand-
ing talents as did the men from the
West Indies, Trinidad, Jamaica
and oilier black countries, but in
America their talents were used
by the wliilc man for his comfort,
convenience and benutificntion
under his name, because you know
a slave could not own anything;
and as a result of this, there are
many paintings hanging on walls
in America done by black people
who are unknown lo ua by llieir
true names.

Some of the earliest named
Black Artists were fountl in Ncu-
Orleans, Louisiana. Rend The
!\'e(iro in l^eiv OrU-ans by Charles
B, Rousscve, and you will find
that around 182.^-1852. Mrs.
Eugene and Daniel Warbourg
were outstanding sculptors and
Julious Hudson an outstanding
painter. But these three (3) artists
were just a little different from
the rest of the many black artists
in that they were mulattos, or
mi.\ed heavily with white blood
and their white father had found
enough to send them to some of
the best schools for art in France,
iind they did not wish to be known
as Black.

It is said that works by these
artists can be found in the Cibildo

building which is located in the
French quarter of New Orleans,
Louisiana.

Many other black artists at this
lime were working, but finding it
more than difficult to survive as
artists under iheir name and in
their black skin in this United
Slates of America.

Another outstanding landscape
painter by the name of Robert
Duncnnson who was a Canadian
Black American, painting land-
scapes all over New York in fact,
he was before the Warbourgs, ac-
cording to Cedric Dover's book
"The American Negro Art." Dun-
cnnson is dated from 1817-1872.
"And he was tough." There are
many works by Robert Duncanson
in many iihiccs, but they are very
difficult lo locate. According lo
James Porter, Mr. Duncanson
didn't wish to be identified with
Negro nrlisls as he was light in
complexion. We find in the pic-
torial History of the Negro in
America by Langston Hughes an
outstanding black female sculptor
1899-1902. who won fame for her
marble figures depicting Negro
life Mela Warrick Fuller, the
very first known black femolc
artist and piohably one of the
first true American female artists,
black or white.

Now we come to Mr. Henry
Ossawa Tanner, the most dis-
tinguished black man in Fine
Arts, born in Pennsylvania in the

It is the power of this song

that colors our every act

as we move from the oppressor-
made gutter

Guts it is will us move from the

It is the rhythm of guts

blood black, granite hard

and flowing like the river of un-
chained Spirit

to blaze our way

to clarity to power

to the rebirth of real man

There will be no dreaming about
escape

There will be no coldwar talk
The fire burns to re-create
The rhythms of our timeless acts
This fire burns tireless in our
time lo destroy all nigger chains
as real men and women emerge
from the ruins of the rape by
white greed

The rape by savages without soul.

My Brother Is
My Pride

By M.L.M.
My brother is my pride.
He is the spring from which my

black ribs will sprout.
He is the ultimate power that

makes me a woman.
I am a black sister.
He is my black brother
I look at his sacred image and in

my eyes he has no lusl.
No lust, no filthy desires to foul

my flesh.
Those are specks in the eyes of

the white man.
Those were his savage deeds.
The deeds I and my brother will

nev^T let him forget as long
As he slill walks the soil.
My brother is my pride.
He is the perpeluator of my black-
ness.
My brother I shall always love

and honor.

By Paul Johnson
I've seen kids who looked
like my next-door neighbors.

I've seen my African brothers and

sisters,
short and tall;

I've seen the markets which were
the first shopping malls.

I've seen people just like me;
I've seen animals only in the zoo;
I've seen places I thought I knew.

I've touched African soil.

I've ridden the mammy wagon, the

lorry,
and the bus, the plane, the train
I've felt ihe rain.
I've seen black magic;
I've seen the bush;
my Africa is matchless,
I've seen black priestesses and

nuns,
I've seen the savannas
I've felt the sun.
I've lasted African foods and

spirits;
I've seen where I came from.
I've listened to the mute cries
of my ancestral spirits.

I've seen the cities

in all their splendor.

I've heard the drums.

I've seen the thatched, corrugated

zinc and tin roofs;

I've seen the universities,

Africa is ray home;

I need no proof.

I've been to Africa,

my old home.

I'm going back.

'BLACK THING'

THE TIGER'S ROAR

August. 1970

A Brief Look At Sports . . .
Will Tigers Be SI AC Champs In 70-71?

Predicting llic fiiliirc of any
team is difficult especially if we
realize llinl any leam in any f;iven
sport can beat nnother on differ-
ent occasions. No lime in sports
liislory has this been proven more
lo the point tban in biiscball wlicn
the New York Mels surprised all
teams in llie American ns well as
the National I^a^jue by sweeping
the World Scries. Allhougli this
is just one example there arc
numerous in sports to equal or
surpass this one.

The headline of this article
probably brings questions in your
mind if you are not up on what
is and has been Imppening in

b.iskelhall .-il Savannah Slate Cul-
Ic^je. I jiredict we 'J"if;ers will again
capture the SIAC Tournament as
in 1969-70 basketball season. But
I do not rush into this prediction
l)linilly or solely on a wish and a
jirnyer. To accomplish tliis feat
the basketball team must have
superior lenders and talent. Sa-
vannah State is blessed with both.
Tlie top Dog in tlie SIAC or the
top conch if you i)refer for the
1967-70 season, wus our own
couch Leo (Tiger) Ricliardson,
considered one of the lop coaches
in the Soulh. Me was named coach
of the year in the SIAC because
of his extraordinary ability to put

Inpelher ye.ir after year a basket-
ball force ihat is feared over the
country. He was also named SEAC
coach of the year last season. To
be named the best coach in two
different conferences in two differ-
ent seasons is an honor many
coaches dream of but will never
reach.

To back up Coach Richardson
there must be a great team with
qualities and unselfish leaders. The
Tigers have both, and play a style
of basketball that completely over-
shadows any other team in the
SIAC. The basketeers have won
three straight tournaments feating
such powers as Alabama Stale and
Bellmne Cookman. Last year ihey

IV ere ranked number one in ihe
nation to even be considered an
invitalion to the prestigious Na-
tional invitational Tournament
held in New York fabulous
Madison Square Gardens.

By now you should be saying
lo yourself all that's good but it
is history ivith the seniors gradu-
ating off the team it will be
weaker. Guess again! Except for
Johnny Abrams. a defensive stand-
out, nil of the 69-7U players will
be returning including Ail-Ameri-
can candidates Vincent While and
Michael jordon. These two play-
ers along with teammate Frankie
Harper are the closest things lo
super-stars a team can get. White.

Jordon and Harjier last season
were named lo the all Tournament
team to no ones surprise. Vincent
White 6' 7" star center was also
awarded the Most Valuable Player
in the tournament by completely
dominaling tlie scoring and re-
bounding. Other players who are
superior in their efforts include
Kelsey Stevens, Charles Kelly,
Fred Reynolds and Ronnie Till-
man.

With these players returning I
predict another championship
team which will take every honor
in its class. My editor-in-chief says
if my prediction is wrong he'll
send me on an assignment to the
moon.

mid 1800's-1851. who studied nnd
worked (villi John Singer Sargent,
an outstanding painter of land-
scapes and religious subject who
found it most impossible to be a
black artist in America. Me found
his way to Paris, became a suc-
cci^s and exhibited his works in
one of the world's greatest
galleries llie Luxembourg and in
many galleries throughout the
United Slates. A most recent ex-
bibilion of his works was at the
Delgale Museum in New Orleans,
Louisiana. This arlisL iviis Ameri-
ca's greatest true artist, the Dean
of American Painters.

And there were many others:
Edward Bannister, sculptor, 1828-
19UI; Ednionia Lewis 1845-1897.
Bannister died at a prayer meet-
ing in church in 1901. Now that
lliL-sc people have forced tlie doors
open for the black artists in
America, there are many others
working very hard to keep these
doors open and to open them
muL'li wider, because Black Artists
have nut until tliis day received
the credits that are long overdue.

very fine and beautiful city, how

mimy works by Black artists are
you able to view if it were not for
the little displays in your little
Black College and most times

Very few if any. You can find
everyone else and Savannah is
heavily pojMilalcd by blacks, but
wc can't see any Black Art.

We don'l only need a Negro
Mistury Week to inform the peo-
ple of our achievements. We need
a black century letting everyone
knim' that wc have not been here
in America doing nothing, but our
contribution to our country, to
our state of Georgia and our city
of Savannah is as great and

who occupy il.

Brief Look At Summer Program At SSC

This summer on SSC will prove
to be beneficial to the black com-
munily of Savannah.

The community will receive the
fruits of labor from two activities
held on the campus. They are the
Adult Basic Education Workshop
and Project Seek.

Many adults after several years
of being out of high school return
lo complete their education. Some
of ihem return because of security
and others as a social outlet. The
trick involved in teaching adults
is that they are not compelled lo
return to school; they come
voluntarily.

The Adult Basic Education
Workshop for Teachers is the most
untalked about course on SSC
campus. It is designed to help in-
service teachers teach the adult
student. Adult Basic Education
Workshop for Teachers has been
held for the last two summers at
SSC.

Mrs. E. James is the director
instructor and co-ordinalor of the
workshop. It is a six weeks course.
Inservice teachers who participate
in the workshop receive ten quar-
ter hours. This workshop has been
functioning for the past two sum-
mers on this campus.

The primary aim of the course
for inservice teachers is to concern
themselves with developing an
understanding of teaching the un-
educated adult. Other objectives
of the workshop are (1) To un-
cover the psychology of adults

SSC's BIG DAY

and the characteristics of learning;
|2 1 To stress help for the un-
c<lucaled adult to reach his goal as
quickly as possible: ('H to moti-
vate llie mature mind to go fur-
iher in life pursuits.

Mrs. James derived a list of
activities ihat include group dis-
cussions, field trips, films, re-
search and research persons.
These activities help enlighten the
students on the basis of teaching
adult study.

Project Seek

Savannah State College is con-
ducting a program to encourage
and assist Savannah residents in
the Model City Area to acliieve a
higher education.

Savannali Slate College in con-
junction with Savannah Voca-
tional-Technical School lias set up
a General Education Development
program (G.E.D.), where re-
fresher students and high school
dropouts can take general educa-
tion courses. After completing the
course they will be evaluated by
Savannah State College on
whether or not they are eligible
for the equivalency diploma.

"Project Seek" staff consists of
the following persons: Mrs. Helen
B. Gresham, Project Director;
Mrs. Edith L. James, Director of
Community Services and Senior
Counselor; Mrs. Mary G. Tootle,
Secretary; Reverend Jessie Black-
shear, Student Consultant ; Miss
Betty Daniels, Community Rela-
tions Officer; Mrs. Dorealha
