Ga. State College
Chapter NAACP

By BETTY E. SINGLETON

-Do you know that on our cam-
pus we have a chapter of that Na-
tional organization known as the
National Associationn for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People?

Well, consider for a while . . .
we do have a chapter and it is
growing as the college grows. But,
we need your support.

One of the most important aims
is to increase the membership of
this organization. Each member is
in himself a membership commit-
tee, and the larger our member-
ship, the more useful we can be
to the entire student body of Geor-
gia State College.

The Georgia State College chap-
ter is now in tae procees of elect-
ing officers for the 1949 year.
Shortly after the election of the
executive committee chairmen is
completed, the chapter will have
its installation of new officers.
Presiding at this occasion will be
Rev. Ernest W. Armstrong, col-
lege' minister.

COLLEGE NEWSPAPER

Our World of Thoughts

By MRS. JOAN L. GORDON

How big is your world? Are you
cognizant of the fact that it is
within our power to circumscribe
the world in which we live. The
distant from East to West is no
bigger than our hearts, the sky
no higher than our thoughts, and
the soul, which is the brain's bud-
ded wings in flight to an end be-
yond its own, can soar to the in-
finite.

Our world lies within the king-
dom of our thoughts. Longfellow
wrote that,

"All are architects of Fate
Working in these Walls of Time."

The materials that we use in
building our "fate" are our
thoughts. There is a habit of mind
that we call imagination. If it is
trained to be a creative habit rath-
er than idle day dreaming, it will
be our best working tool. The im-
agination will draw the blueprints
to be used by the will in building
the structures of our lives.

Some lose the power of imagi-
nation after .they pass the fairy-
.tale stage, simply because they do
not exercise it. They are people
who stumble through life uncon-
scious of that unique something
in every person or thing, incap-
able of original ideas and creative
acts. If we develop the habit of
imagination we never lose it- But
we may lose the practice of using
it which causes mental inertia.

There is another habit of mind
that goes far in determining what
sort of country this world of our
thoughts is to be. When the tools
of thought grow dull, they may be
sharpened on the grinding stone of
memory. A day's work or the ex-
periences of a week is more than
broken framents of days and
years, they are parts of that great-

er whole we call life. So memory
gives dignity and meaning to what
might seem trivial and framentary.
If the structure of our lives he-
comes indebted to a chaotic mind,
only memory can pay the mort-
gage.

The brain is a hive where the
bees of thought of perpetual hon-
ey store. What are we picking
up each moment and storing away
in the coffers of our kingdom?
There are new philosophies and
theories that we hear in the talk of
a day. Are we storing them up for
that time when we will need them?
There's a golden sunset veiling
the clouds, are we folding that
away for a rainy day? There is
the field of reality in which to
plant our dreams. There's the si-
lent prayer that trees breathe,
are we grasping it for the moment
when we must still the cry of
doubt?

In the kingdom of our thoughts
we must live all the days of our
lives. We shall want to ask other
people to visit our world. Will they
be happy in it? Will they enjoy its
climate and scenery? Or, will there
be too many mountains of cynical
and intolerant thoughts, desert
places of useless ideas, swamp
lands of stagnant emotions, and
days and days of darkness when
there is no sunshine of faith in
human resources? Or, will there he
broad meadow lands, sunny beau-
en thoughts and sentiments flow-
en thoughts an dsentiments flow-
ing from out the years?

To answer these questions we
must remember that our world Is
no wider than our hearts and no
loftier than our thoughts. But East
and West will pinch the heart
that cj>n not keep them pushed
apart, and if our minds are flat
the sky will cave in on us by and

i>y.

College Students
Hits Barber

Aroused by the flagrant dis-
crimination practiced by six local
barber shops who have been re-
fusing haircuts to Negroes, irate
students at Pennsylvania State
College have organized a boycott
against the shops and are enlist-
ing the assistance of student and
civic groups in their battle against
Jim Crow in this city.

The boycott began with a mass
demonstration organzied by the
college chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People after the shops
denied a haircut to Mitchel Wil-
liams, a Negro track star from
Philadelphia. Approximately 500
students gathered at a protest
rally on Dec. 10 to hear addresses
by student leaders, faculty mem-
bers, and Miss Marion O. Bond,
NAACP field secretary, and to
parade through the streets carry-
ing placards " and chanting "Jim
Crow must go." William Meek,
president of NAACP Penn State
chapter, indicated that more than
150 students had signed up to
picket the shops "to prove by an
effective demonstration of public
opinion that discrimination has no
place in State College."

The day's demonstration culmi-
nated in the presentation of a
fifteen- minute radio skit prepared
by the NAACP chapter and pre-
sented as a public service over
local radio station WMAJ. Begin-
ning with a brief dramatization of
the beginning of the NAACP in
1990 and an outline of the Asso-
ciation's purposes, the program
called attention to the discrimina-
tion still existing in this commu-
nity and appealed to citizens to
support the student protest again-
st this discrimination.

In a letter to Rep. Homer S.
Brown of the Pennsylvania State
Legislature, Mrs. Ruby Hurley,
NAACP youth secretary, pointed
out that legal redress against this
kind of discrimination is not pos-
sible at the present time because
barber shops are not specifically
included within the provisions of
the Pennsylvania Civil Rights
Statute. Noting that a similar pat-
tern in the city of Lewisburg has
been reported by the NAACP col-
lege chapter at Bucknell Univer-
sity, Mrs. Hurley asserted that
undemocratic practices on the part
of barber shops are fairly wide-
spread throughout the state of
Pennsylvania, and requested that
an amendment to make barber
shops subject to the penal provis-
ions of the law be introduced at
the next session of the State Leg-
islature.

Students are appealing to
groups and individuals to address
correspondence to legislators ask-
rights statutes. Another mass
ing amendment of the state's civil
meeting is scheduled for January
IB.

Attention

Veterans

The Veterans Administration
has begun to discontinue the train-
ing of all veterans, regardless of
status, who are reported to have
been excessively absent from
classes. You are again reminded
that regular class attendance is
one of the definite requirements
by the VA which all veterans must
adhere to. You are advised that
any veteran whose training is in-
terrupted because of excessive ab-
sences will have to make a direct
appeal to the Regional Office
(Atlanta), and will also have to
go through an Advisement and
Guidance Center before there is a

Open Letter To
GSC

Dear Fellow Students,

I feel that you should know the
situation of your Student Council
at Georgia State as it should be of
vital concern to you.

The situation of the council is
the same as one would ordinarily
expect it to be. We have the same
problems in general as most Stu-
dent Councils have and we are
very worried about them as most
Councils are. In our conference
with Dr. Alonzo Meyers of N. Y.
U, in December, we found that
we are aiming at the more vital
goals. Of course this was only
one man's opinion, but he has
done a lot of work with Councils
such as ours. He said "a Student
Council can do much for a student
body but only through the full co-
operation of that student body."
Cooperation is the greatest ob-
atacle to our Student Council. We
lack unity as a whole and this
great factor has been the weak
point of our Council since it was
organized. As a solution to this
problem, I am asking you to be
more tolerant with your fellow stu-
dent and help him in every pos-
sible way. I want you to attend
every affair sponsored by your
Council and cooperate with it in
every possible way. If you have
any complaints about your Coun-
cil, or any suggestions as to how
it should be operated, you may do
so by mail, talking to the Council
or at mass meetings of the Coun-
cil.

The attendance at the past
mass meetings have been very
poor and we hope that the future
ones will be better by far. It is at
these meetings where each stu-
dent can voice his opinion on any
issue he considers of importance.
Suggestion boxes will also be put
in the more conspicuous places for
the above mentioned privilege.

Read your Council's bulletin
board for future events. Keep up
with your Council. Criticize them
if you want to, but do it in a civ-
ilized manner.

Keep the Formal Dance in April
fresh on your mind. Every student
should attend.

Hoping to see you at all future
affairs sponsored by the Council,

Yours Truly,
Prince Jackson, Jr.,
President.

Beach-Cuyler

Continued from page 1
and at 2:30, the students enjoyed
a get-together in the spacious Col-
lege Inn, which is located on the
campus. There, they met with some
old friend3, and were acquainted
with new ones.

The members of the Student
Council and the Collegiate Counsel-
lors served as hosts and hostesses
for the entire day. This was a
day well spent.

possibility of the VA letting the
veteran resume training under
the G.I. Educational Program.

Why are you absent from
classes so much ? If you have a
legitimate excuse when you are
absent, then secure an official ex-
cuse from the Dean of Men's of-
fice so that the absences can be
scratched from your record and
not reported to the Veterans Ad-
ministration. Poor attendance de-
notes a lack of interest in your ob-
jective and will came the VA to
believe that taxpayers money is
being wasted. Therefore, it is very
significant that you exercise ev-
ery possible caution and attend
your classes regularly.

Food for the Needy

This is what Rev. Earnest W. Arm-
strong and his Religious Life Com-
mittee must have had in mind
when they appointed a special
Christmas Committee. This, com-
mittee made a survey of the needy
people of Thunderbolt community.
A Christmas basket was prepared
and distributed to those people
who were unable to provide the
proper things for the great holi-
day of the year. This service of
mercy was sponsored by the Re-
ligious Life Committee. An ap-
peal for funds to support this pro-
gram was made in a pre-holiday
assembly by Mr. Charles Hall,
junior, and a member of the spe-
cial committee.

"Biology in Everybody
Life"

"Biology in Everyday Life" was
the theme of a panel discussion
sponsored by the biology depart-
ment, under the direction of Dr.
B. T. Griffith, December 7, 1948.

Mr. Charles Davis introduced
the speakers, and their topics of
discussion was as follows: Jean
Williams, "Playing to Be Happy";
Mr. George Harris, "Singing in
the World"; Mr. Marvin Bird,
"No Chairs in the Parlor"; and
Mr. William V. Webb, "Rubbing
the Pain Away".

The panel discussion gave the
Freshman students a clear under-
stading of each problem treated.
The speakers are majors in biolo-

fense program.' His New Year's
resolution to the student body was,
"Begin to solve the present prob-
lems now."

med the Meldrim auditorium on
Tuesday night, December 2, 1948,
to witness the first production,
"Campus Quarantine" to be played

Member Appointed

Mr. Charles W. Cole, senior,
Georgia State College was ap-
pointed the CHESTERFIELD
CAMPUS REPRESENTATIVE by
the Campus Merchandising Bu-
reau of New York on November
29, 1948.

This kind of work has been go-
ing on in many of the white col-
leges, but this marks the first
time that such an appointment has
been at GSC.

Mr. Cole stated that the purpose
of this job is to create the inter-
est of smokers of Chesterfield
smokers and thereby promote bet-
ter sales in the future.

Veteran's Start
New Year Right

Student veterans started the
New Year off with a change in
their attendance, by being in each
class every day, and on tim"

Last month many veterans re-
ceived letters from the Veterans
Administration, disco ntinuing
their training, and in order that
the veteran's training be estab-
lished, he, (the veteran) had to
write a letter to the Veterans Ad-
ministration, Atlanta, Ga., explain-
ing and giving an account for
absentees. They did write the let-
ters, and some of them received
their re-entrance letters, but the
others are still waiting for a re-
ply,

Veterans, and non-veteran stu-
dents, I advise you to obtain one
of the Student Handbooks from
the Administration Building and
read it thoroughly. It contains im-
portant information for the stu-
dents atending Georgia State. By
30 doing, you will know ju3t what
is required of you as a student
here.

Some veterans are really on the
ball because I have payed atten-
tion to thorn check frequently with
the instructor as to whether he
was marked absent. That is the
spirit, fellers; continue to make
these necessary checks when you
are in doubt. In this way you can
avoid placing your training in jeo-
pardy.

Former Grad

Is Killed

Nathaniel Mayes, a graduate of
Georgia State College in the class
of '39 with a B. S. degree in Eng-
lish, was killed suddenly in an ac-
cident January 12, 1949, at Fort
Pierce, Fla., while en route to his
home in Albany, Georgia, after at-
tending an insurance meeting in
Miami, Florida.

Nathaniel Mayes was a very ac-
tive alumnus of Georgia State
College, and played an important
part in making our Albany chap-
ter a very successful one. Mr.
Mayes was the beloved husband
Mrs. Hellen M. Mayes, also a
graduate of Georgia State College,
who is now employed as assistant
to the registrar at Albany State.
Mrs. Mayes was formerly direc-
tor of Extension at Georgia State
College and is now the executive
secretary of the southwest chap-
ter of Georgia State College alum-
ni.

Accordingto the information re-
ceived from Wilton C, Scott, direc-
tor of Public Relations at Georgia
State College, Mr. Mayes was ap-
parently an ideal product of Geor-
gia State College.

At the time of his death he was
serving as assistant insurance
manager. Prior to his graduation,
Mr. Mayes was president of Dra-
matics, an active member of the
Trade Association, 1935-39, an ac-
tive member of the book club and
business club. Mr. Mayes served
as business manager of the Her-
ald from 1935-39, a member of the
varsity basketball team, a mem-
ber of the college football team,
and was always ready to assist in
any possible way for the better-
ment of this college.

At the time of his death, Mr.
Mayes was a member of the Grand
Class Reunion Committee. Georgia
State College feels a great loss in
the tragic death of one of its de-
voted Alumni members and con-
veys its deep sympathy and con-
dolence to the entire Mayes fam-
ily.

Vet Secretary

Speaks

Mr, Nelson R. Freeman, gradu-
ate of Georgia State College, and
veterans secretary, wishes to in-
form the veterans of the newly
enacted laws passed by the Vet-
erans Administration- Realizing
the seriousness of the situation
that occurred last month, Mi-
Freeman 'reveals the following in-
formation to the veterans of
Georgia State College,

Absentcism: Any veteran that is
absent more than thre (3) days in
any one month and does not have
an official excuse from the insti-
tution is considered not making
satisfactory progress by the VA.
First offense The veteran has a
good chance of reinstatement, but
the second offense, the veteran's
chances of reinstatement are al-
most hopeless; therefore he is ap-
pealing to all veterans for their
full participation regarding these
regulations.

Caps and Gowns: It has been
made clear that the VA will not
pay for caps and gowns for the vet-
erans, however, it will pay for the
filing of application for degree.
The VA considers the cap and
gown a personal problem of the
student, hence no funds are pro-
vided to this effect.

Failing of Veterans: Any veter-
an who fails due to neglect on his
own may be ordered by the VA to
compensate for the books and sup-
plies that were used in the partic-
ular course that were used in the
particular course that he failed
in. The VA maintains that an
erage of "C" is a satisfactory
grade. Anything below that is
deemed a failure.

Mr. Freeman made it clear that
he is very interested in the veter-
ans and that he will do his ut-
most to see that all veterans get
everything that they are entitled
to, and that if there are any
schools that are issuing any sup-
plies to veterans that this school is
not issuing, be will see that the vet-
erans get it here, provided that
they are required in the pursu-
ance of his course.

The secretary explained that his
office is open to all veterans
twenty-four hours. Even on East
Broad Street, West Broad Street,
or at his house or even walking
across the campus. So again he is
appealing to all VETERANS for
their wholehearted ocoperation.

As early as 1740, three Marine
regiments were recruited in Am-
erica, assembled in New York
and performed valiant service in
the West Indies, but for the Brit-
ish Navy.

A woman reported to the detec-
tive bureau that someone had stol-
en food out of her ice box and her
heater. "Don't you have any idea
who 'i dtbe?" the police inquired.
"Sure, I know who it is," she re-
plied, "but I want you to find out."

The following members of the
24th Infantry Regiment are 'not
attending the Eighth Army Ord-
nance School in Yokahama: Pri-
vate First Class James A. Tay-
lor, Dandridge, Tenn.; Pfc. Valvin
Wingo, Amelia, Va., and Pvt. Chas.
Ownes, Upper Marlboro, Md.

A freshman walked in the room
of an accounting class and asked
Mr. Franklin Carr, "Are you Miss
Davis?"

In October, 1948, Atlanta's Ne-
gro teachers won a nine-year

Hot on Both Ends

Even though it was about thir-
ty-six degrees outside a man in a'
barber shop got hot, believe it or
not, and on both ends. Here's how
it happened.

A cast iron wood heater inside
the building became intensely hot.
A barber working nearest the
stove felt the unusual warmth
most and proceeded to open a door.
Another man working in the far-
thest corner of the room was not
.iffected by the heat protested this
action and promptly closed the
Joor. The now sweating workman
igain opened the door only to have
It closed again by the cooler gen-
'.leman. This opening and closing
ictoin continued in a childish man-
ler for some considerable time.
\ttempts to cool the stove made
l)y the manager failed. The barber
T inally dared his companion to
^lose the door again after it had
'jeen opened wide for the tenth
*ime to cool the heated room and
.he scorching tempers of its oc-
upants. A few harsh words fol-
'owed and a fight was about to
nsue when a kindly saint profess-
'ng to be a christian separated the
arguing pair just before the final
bulge. That was one time a snatch
in time saved the day.

The angry barber who failed to
maintain his selfish wishes to dis-
comfort others and comfort him-
self promptly left the building.
Maybe the world would be a lot
better off if all people so selfish,
so oblivious of other's welfare, so
eager to run the world his own
way took permanent leaves of ab-
sence to where? WHERE IT'S
HOT ON BOTH ENDS.

The Lyons Georgia Sham

By RAPHAEL E. OLIVER

Again justice has received a slap
in the face. How long is our pres-
ent civilization going to put up
with such shams as the Lyons,
Georgia, affair?

It appears that our sacred
courts have become Broadway the-
aters, embodying all the fictions,
dramas, etc. Is there no law of
which some of our courts and law
enforcers will not stoop, too?
"Apparently not" seems to be
about the only possible answer.

We've been kidding ourselves
that justice meant for all is re-
ceived by all. There's nothing
wrong with that belief. But we
failed to classify the types of jus-
tice and conditions under which
certain kinds of Justice is admin-
istered.

To rephrase an old adage "white
is always right." This statement
has always existed as a silly, and
a stupid one .But no more! Today
this statement stands out aa
though in neon lights, realistical-
ly in headlines in your local news-
papers and deeply embedded in
the minds of the people.

Shoula this trend of thought re-
main unchallenged and unaffected!
In the hands of many like in Ly-
ons, Georgia, the South will be
literally speaking a powder keg,
with everyone being a match in
mind and a fuse in the body.

Something must be done imme-
diately, if the local authorities
lon't; then beyond a shadow of a
doubt our Government should act.
And it is definitely hoped that the
Lyons, Georgia, sham will bring
about this type of action.

Miss Simmons

Well, here I am again folk to
bring to you the news of the af-
fairs which have been given.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL

On December 4, 1948 the Stu-
dent Council gave a dance in the
gymnasium which was highly en-
joyed by all who attended.

There was a nice crowd there

and everyone really did look fine.

For this affair, Joe Bristow and

his Bee-Bop Band furnished the

music.

During intermission, there was a
raffling of a chicken and a cake;
The chicken was won by Ben Col-
lins and the cake was won by
Melvin Bush. Weren't they lucky,
though ?

Miss Georgia State was escorted
to the front by President Jackson
to draw the lucky numbers.
CONGRATULATIONS

I wish to congratulate Mi:
Charity Adams on the splendid
work that she is doing here as
Personnel Advisor for the benefit

we all appreciate everything that
you have done for us thus far.
Just to mention a few things
that have been done: The office
of the Student Council and the
Tigers Roar Staff, the Young
Ladies' Lounge, the Young Men's
Lounge, and the Student' Lounge,
all of which are very comfortable.
Again, congratulations, Miss
Adams, and may you stay here as
long as possible. We, as students,
need you.
GREEK LETTER CLUB

On December 6, 1948,in Meldrim
Auditorium, our President, Mr.
James A. Colston, made it official
that the organizations of Greek
Letter CIub3 might become in act
on our campus. "Hooray."

Various clubs are well on the
way with their organization.
ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA
INTEREST GROUP

The Alpha Kappa Alpha Interest
Group consists of young ladies
who are interested in the Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority.

They organized in December and
are planning many activities for
the near future,

Here is hoping that all members
of this club come through as
members of the Alpha Kappa So-
rority.

ALPHA PHI ALPHA

Good luck to all members of in-
terest groups.

VETERANS

The Veterans gave an enjoy-
able Winter Dance on Saturday,
January 8, in Wilcox gymnasium.

Fo^ this gala affair, Jimmic
Drayton and his band furnished
the syncopation which was en-
joyed by the large crowd that
attended.

Evereyone who was present at

We are looing forward to more
entertainments to be given by this
progressive club.
ATLANTA

Georgia State college was re-
presented at the basketball game
which was played in Atlanta
against Morehouse college by stu-
dents. Those that were there in-
cluded: Crawford Bryant, Harry
Mason, Connie Bogan, and I. Mrs.
Ted Wright and Pat were there
also. The game was very ex-
citing and the boys really played
a good game even though
lost. However, I am sure that we
will have victory at home.
BEACB DAY

Here on our campus, January 11,
was known and celebrated as
Beach Day.

On this particular day, the Jan-
uary graduating class of Beach
High School was entertained by
the Georgia State college Fnmily.
A program for the day was set
up for their enjoyment.

I hope that each of them had
a wonderful time on their day
and that we shall see some or all
of them on our campus as mem-
bers of our family in the near
future.
ILL

Students of Georgia State college
are very sorry to hear of the
illness of little Margaret Long, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Long, who had an operation lately.
We are wishing her a speedy re-
covery.
RECITAL

In Meldrim Auditorium, January
13, Georgia State college present-
ed Miss Evelyn Grant in a piano
recital which was highly enjoyed
by everyone who was present.

She played six splendid num-
bers to a very large crowd of
music lovers. We are hoping that
she will come back again to play
for us very soon.

Miss Grant is only 16 years of
age and is in the Junior class
at Beach High School.

S"he is well known for her music
ability. We do wish that she will
come to our family to continue
her studies and add to our depart-
ment of music. We need her, we
can use her, and we want here.
We congratulate Miss Grant on
splendid performances.

Ai magnificent recital wa3 given
by the Alpha Interest Group on
January 14, in Meldrim Audi-
torium with Mr. E. La Marr at
the organ and piano and Mr. James
W. Fisher, Vocalist.

The auditorium was well pack-
ed and I am sure that everyone
enjoyed the splendid program for
it was well done by these two tal-
ented young men that we are
fortunate to have as members
of our family.

The club needs to be congratula-
ted for having presented such an
enjoyable program.

Congratulations to the young
men who did a wonderful job of
thrilling the audience.

This Matter of Dress

Clothes are the eternal feminine
question. While they aren't ex-
actly the most important things
in the world, there are times when
they seem to be. There is a de-
finite poise and confidence that
imes from being well dressed
and knowing that you are. Clofhi
speak a powerful language. They
tell the world whether you are
solvenly or careful, artistic oi
crude, dowy or smart. Learn tt
ie this power to your advantage.
There are dozens of fascinating
books and magazines devoted solely
to this important matter of dress.
The subject is much too broad
to discuss in detail here. The fol-
lowing are a few brief funda-
mentals.

Appropriateness is the keynote.
Your clothes cannot be successful
unless they are suitable to your
age, the occasion, your position
in life, your particular personality,
figure, and personal coloring.

Dress your age. Don't adorn
yourself in a slinky black formal
and long earrings in the hope that
you will create an interesting wo-
man-of-the-world effect. Your
clothes should not be embarris
ingly little-girlish.

Carefully match your clothes to
the occasion. If you have been in-
vited somewhere and nothing has
been said about how to dress, try
to find out what the others are
wearing. If this is impossible, then
remember that it is safer to go
undepressed than overdressed.
You will be more comfortable if
you are wearing the only street
clothes in a group of formals than
if yours is the only formal among
many skirts and sweaters.

There is magic in line and de-
sign. With the aid of good re-
ference books on the subject, learn
how to relate the ilen of your

Everybody's
Business

Well, guys and gals, Eyes is
back on the scene after having
had wonderful times during the
Yuletide season. If you didn't have
fun, shame on you.

The boys on the basket-ball
team didn't go home for Christ-
mas. Well, I hope each of you
had fun here during the holidays.
I know P. G. and Bobby Brown
did, for P. G. was seen on Wa-
ters Avenue quite often visiting
Mary Bogan, a student at Beach
while Bobby went around with her
friend.

lines are determined by fairly un
alterable facters, such as the size
and shape of your bones. Of
course, diet and exercise may be
used to tone down or round out
curves, but when it is a matter
of being too tall or too short, you
will need to use other tactics.
Where diet and exercise fail, the
line of your clothes may succeed.
Correctly chosen clothes can give
you a queenly height instead of a
beanpole stringiness, or they may
seem to remove inches from hips
and shoulders that have long been
your secret sorrow. Dress illusion
is a justified form of deceit and
a fascinating subject to work with.
Remember that fabric, color, and
design also play a part in de-
ceiving the eye. The most effective

illusions result whr.n all these fac-
clothes to you. Your own general | tors are employed.

Stretch has a Ronson lighter
that Connie gave him, Sunomia
has a pen and pencil set given
to her by Crawford Bryant, she
intum gave him a pen, and many,
many more gifts were exchanged
by lovers.

During the holidays, Bunky
visited Evelyn and Buster went
to see Robbie. It must be love.

Lyals and Lizzie Thompson are
really in love. Every time you see
one, you see the other.

Congratulations, Louis Vaughns.
You are engaged to a student at
Howard whose name is Janet Wil-
son so they say .True?

I see that Ruby Best and Mat-
tie Turner are back. Welcome
girls, we missed you.

Girls, I think Ed (better known
as little Stretch) is cute. Never-
theless, Dorothy Boston thinks so
too.

Ragsdale was seen enjoying The
Woman In White with two young
ladies. I couldn't tell who was
for they both had his undivided
attention. White, the referee, was
also enjoying the same movie with
a young lady.

The games that Georgia State
played Hampton were really on.
The second game was even better.
Boston really did show out along
with Jesse Morgan, Stretch, Don-
ald Adams, Buster, and Ed Con-
ner.

Corner

Georgia State's cagers have
dropped four out of four games
wherein the students have been
expecting a few wins. Naturally,
we want a winner but, I predict
that we will still win the confer-
ence championship, we must con-
sider the opponents which our
team had to face. There was the
great Hampton team, Morehouse
and Morris Brown, all dreaded by
the greatest of ball bouncers.
However, we must remember that
our opponents were stronger in
experience than our team.

While talking to one of my
friends about the team, he brought
out a point that is worth mention-
ing in this column. Most of us
will not agree or approve of his
attitude, but I will, 100 per cent.

Edward Conner Injured
In Atlanta

Edward Conner, one of State's
promising freshmen cagers suf-
fered a broken fore-finger when
trying to trap a ball on the floor
during the game betwene GSC and
Morris Brown in Atlanta,

Conner had seen much action in
State's previous games and will
without doubt be a great loss to
the team as he will probably be 1
out of action for the remainder of
ihe season.

Collegiate Counsels Club

The Collegiate Counselors Club
of Georgia State College is mak-
ing plans to sponsor a talent show
on February 11, 1949. All organi-
zations of the college campus are
eligible to participate in the
show. There will be two prizes of-
fered. First prize will be five
(5.00) dollars to the winning par-
ticipant and an equal sum to the
organization. Second prize will be
three (3.00) dollars to the win-
ning participant and an equal sum
to the organization represented.

Three Freshman Cagers

L

:t to right: Bobby Brown, Alfred Jackson, and Edward Conner.

He says that even though the boys
haven't won a game and if they
don't win a game this season they
are receiving a training that will
enable them to win in the game
of life.

My friend says that the squad
is getting a training in sports-
manship, cooperation and mutual
understanding that will carry
them farther in later life than the
fact that they were Ail-Americans
in the year of 1949.

With the sportsmanship and
fair play they are learning as
members of the GSC basketball
squad, they will go out into the
world not only as believers of fair
play but champions of justice and
fighters for an even break for all.

At the Chicago Centennial Ex-
position in 1892-93 the barker v/as
asking everybody inside to see the
greatest wonder of the world and
when they entered the building
the people saw ten large Negro
men on one end of a rope pulling
together with the other end fas-
tened to a steel post. This was one
of the wenders of the world then
but with the training in coopera-
tion that our team is receiving
thoy will be able to pull together

for the common good of all in the
future without being looked upon
as a side show.

Then too, as my friend says, who
are we to cry if the boys haven't
lieen winning? Why aren't we out
there trying to do better? My
friend has nothing more to say
nor have I, but in the words of
Theodore Roosevelt, "It is not the
critic who counts; not the man
who points out how the strong
man stumbled, or where the doer
of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who
is actually in the arena; whose
face is marred by dust and sweat
and blood; who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again
and again; who knows the great
enthusiasms, the great devotions
and spends himself in worthy
cause; who at the best knows in
the end the triumph of high
achievement; and who at the
worst, if he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly; so that his
place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who knows
neither victory nor defeat."

Hampton Invades
For Double Win

Before a capacity crowd of ap-
proximately 1000 basketball fans
a strong Hampton squad defeated
GSC to the tune of 62-25 on 1 De-
cember 13, in Wilcox Gymnasium.

For the first quarter the game
went along even until Wilson and
Foster of Hampton started hit-
ting the bucket at every try.

The first half ended 20-9 in fa-
vor of Hampton.

State showed very good form
but the old reliables such as
"Stretch" Savery, "Jiggs" Mor-
gan and Harris just couldn't hit
the ol' hoop.

James Foster, of Hampton, was
the top scorer of the game with
six hits from the floor and 1 by
the donation route. "Stretch" Sa-
very led the GSC squad with six
pointa via the field.

The final score, Hampton, 62,
GSC, 26.

ton on Wednesday, December 14,

gers would make a comeback and
gain their first victory but the

Tradies Kick

Aggies 14-0

On December 13, before about
300 students the trade department
ran over the Agricultural Depart-
ment to the tune of 14-0.

This was the second and final
intramural game between the de-
partments and a championship lay
at stake.

From the beginning the Aggies
seemed a bit shaky and the con-
stant pounding of the line by the
Tradies Fullback Calvin Small did
the Aggies no good at all. Small
was the outstanding player of
both teams, he ran like a train
and the tottering line of the Ag
gies was no match for this jug'
gernaut who was determined not
to be stopped.

In the second quarter, after rip-
ping the Aggies line to shreds
Small crashed over for the Trades
first score. The try for the extra
point failed and the Traides were
leading 6-0 at the end of the
first half.

In the third stanza after push-
ing the Aggies back on their own
goal line, a shaking and trembling
John Demons fumbled the ball in

got her second beating of the sea-
son. ,

Both teams gave a good exhibi-
tion of fast breaking and decept-
ive passing but as in the previous
game, State's sharpshooters were
unable to find the range. The score
at the end of the game was 52-37
with Hampton out io front.

in front 8-0.

The fourth period found the Ag-

on about the mid-field stripe.

center fumbled and the ball was
recovered by the Tradesmen. Con-

men, unleashed a passing attack

Teams Put Up Brawny
Battlle

On December 8, 1948 before ap-
proximately forty rain drenched
students, the Arts and Science
Department fought a stronger
Aggie team to a 0-0 tie.

This was the first of two Intra-
mural games with the winner of
the first game playing the Trade
department for the school cham-
pionship.

For the first quarter the two
teams fought each other to a
standstill, but in the second stan-
za the Aggies began a drive which
put them on the A&S 4-yard stripe,
first and goal. Charlie Conyers
was thrown for a loss back to the
Arts 32, On the next play a fum-
ble by the Aggies put the ball on
the Arts 46. The A&S took over
and were hitting the Aggies wall
for no gain at the end of the first
half. The score, Aggies, 1 first
down; Arts & Scionce, no first
downs.

The second half was a battle of
brawn, very little brain, until lit-
tle George "Moe" Saunders threat-
ened the Aggies with an end run
which pur the fans in a frenzy and
new life into the dying Artsciences
team.

With Frank Willis' superb kick-
ing and the shifty running of
Ade Evans the Aggies kept the
Arts and Science team's back to
the wall, but like the man backed
into a corner, the A&S team made
goal line stands to hold the Ag-
gies to a 0-0 tie.

The Aggies were declared the
victors by running up five first
downs to the Arts and Sciences 1.

Free Cigarettes Given

Mr. R. R. Butts and Mr. W. D.
Akers, representatives of the R. J.

dents at GSC.

Mr. Butts stated that "this was

A Word Here and There

Attention teachers! How would
you like the following schedule?
Arise at 3 a. m., catch an out-of-
town bus and ride about eight
miles. Then you change and wait
for another bus which will carry
you an additional five miles. Then
you arrive at school all worn out
where you are greeted by eight
students. Wait now. All of your
students are from the same family
and range in grades from the third
through the seventh. You return
home the same way you came.
This is a certain teacher's daily
task up in Middle Georgia. The
Minimum Foundation Program for
Education in Georgia if enacted
may eliminate such situations.

Dr. Alonzo T. Miels, chairman
of the Department of Education at
New York University in an ad-
dress before the faculty and' stu-
dent body last quarter urged a
greater use of democratic princi-
ples in our schools and colleges.
Amen.

stripe to win the game and camp-

"SUCCESS STORY" SHOW AT GA. STATE COLLEGE

A HINT

TO THE

WISE

By DAISY B. PORTER

The human race is divided into
two classes: those who hate dish-
washing an dthose who avoid dish-
washing. The latter class is be-
lieved to be extinct, at least in
our society-

You have probably heard that
dishwashing machines are em-
ployed in the United States. This
is correct. Most dishwashing ma-
chines are eighteen nor nineteen
years old, wear white aprons and
produce peculiar noises like this:
"Aw, Ma, why can't Dorothy do
'em. I have at least ten pages of
Miss Hunt's French to study."

DISHES HAVE MANY DE-
LIGHTFUL PURPOSES. One eats
from them, movie theaters get
people to see dull pictures by giv-
ing them away; cats lap milk from
them; and they are great to break.

Kind-hearted people are those
who lick the plate clean. This is
also a noble excuse for being a
Pig-
Actually, dishwashing procedure
can be quite simple. First, finish
a delicious meal. Second, digest it
in leisurely bliss, relaxed in your
favorite chair. Then, pay heed to
mother's look and the light will
dawn. Look at the table. Well, aft-
er all, it wasn't a very big meal
only a few dishes. Pile these
utensils neatly atop one another
and find your way to the kitchen
sink.

It is very unfortunate that sis-
ter keeps her skates directly in
front of the kitchen sink. Arising
from the fragments of broken
glass, you cautiously pick up the
pieces of silverware and slip
them gracefully into a soapy dish-
pan. Two hours later when you
have finished, you notice that your
sister is standing beside you.
Your family, you see, operates on
the cooperative plan. Each must
do her share. You wash the dishes
and little sister watches you.

HINT TO THE WISE."

What's Wrong
With

Justice

By JOSEPH B. BOWMAN

Will we ever receive justice and
full protection through the Justice
Department as prescribed by the
Constitution of the United States
of America?

If so, what about the lynching
of Willie Earle, of South Carolina,
the Monroe, Georgia Case, the
Carter and Nixom Case, and the
Mallard Case?

As you recall, in the Willie
Earle case, Earle was lynched by
a group of white men in 1946,
shortly after the inauguration of
Gov. J. S. Thurmond under the
white supremacy platform, as the
governor of South Carolina. Of
course the 21 members of the mob
confessed to the killing, went to
trial and was freed by an all-white
jury a few months later at Greens-
boro, S- C.

The Monroe case, four Negroes
were lynched by a band of white
men, the case never did get to
court, because of the lack of evi-
dence and the tightlipped Negroes
as well as whites throughout Mon-
roe.

The Carter case; Carter, a Ne-
gro citzen in Georgia in the re-
cent election, doing his duty as an
American citizen, by transporting

Negro voters to the polls as a re.
suit, he was unmercifully beaten
by a group of white men. As a re-
sult of the beating received, his
wrist was broken, yet the men
went free.

Isaac Niron, Mount Vernon vot-
er who dared to vote after having
been told not to by a group of
white men. Nixon was murdered
in cold blood by a group of white
men while his family looked on.
The mob went free by an all-white
jury.

Of course you know about the
Mallard case, Robert C. Mallard,
Negro casket salesman of Lyons
(Toombs county) Georgia, was
lynched on a lonely road by a mob
of about twenty white men dressed
in white robes and hoods. Mallard
was lynched by this group on the
night of November 20, shortly aft-
ar Herman Talmadge, another
white supremacer was elected to
the governorship of Georgia.

Mrs. Amy Mallard, widow of the
slain man was only able to identi-
fy two of the mob members, Wil-
liam L. Howell and Roderick Clif-
ton. Both of the men were indicted,
but on the fateful day of January
acquitted by an all-white jury at
Lyons, Ga,

Would you call this "JUS-
TICE?" of course not, this is the
answer of every decent and right-
thinking American citizen, because
lynching itself is injustice.

The Mallard case brought na-
tional fame, even Joseph M. Gold-
wasser, Cleveland, Ohio, business-
man, and a member of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Cleveland
Branch of the National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Col-
ored People. Goldwasser first took
interest in the case shortly after
the slaying with the interest of
seeing justice done .

Thurgood Marshall, special
counsel for the N, A. A. C. P.
said:

"The trial demonstrates the in-
capacity of local authorities to
deal with the crime of lynching."
He also charged that the arrest,
indictment and the trial of the men
were "perfunctory motions" for
the sole purpose of "averting
Federal action."

The European countries, especi-
ally Russia, have their eyes on the
United States. For example:

Former Secretary of! State J. F.
Byrnes, while attending the UN
Conference, he proposed that the
other countries accept our form
of democracy. A Russian delegate
asked Byrnes about the lynchings
and the terrible treatment of Ne-
groes in the Southern section of
the United States, when faced
with these facts, Byrnes couldn't
say anything, because he knew the
Russian's statements were very
true; so he took his seat.

Because of the mere facts of the
existing segregation, discrimina-
tion, prejudice, and lynching in dif-
ferent sections of America, there
is no real "Democracy".

Will you stand idly by and sigh,
while lynching, segregation and
prejudice continue to exist. While
the K. K. K. continues to march,
terrify and lynch the Negro one
by one without a cause?

First it was Willie Earle, four
Negroes of Monroe, Georgia, Isaac
Nixon, Carter, and now Robert C.
Mallard, and you may be the next
victim.

If we are ever to receive full
justice throughout the nation,
then we "MUST" work together
for one common cause, a full de-
mocracy for people, regardless of
race, color or creed, and support
our N. A. A. C, P. in the fight for
democracy.

For full and equal protection
from lynching, I therefore urge
you to write letters and telegrams
to President Truman, urging an

A Challenge to Decent
Citizens

By WALTER J. LEONARD

As one approaches our college
campus he will suddenly be over-
whelmed by the beauty of our fine
superstructed buildings, moss-
laiden oaks, meticulously kept
green grass, and the superb land-
scaping of our campus along with
the many pulchritudinous crea-
tures dashing to and from build-
ings at class change.

But there is one thing of which
they are not adequately informed,
that is that immediately adjacent
to the college campus is located
the Girls Attention Home, the ug-
liness of which surpasses every
iota of beauty that our institution
boasts.

According to the Grand jur'ys
recent report, oue could easily say
that the conditions of this home
are subversive to the lowest type
of living conditions. We are as-
suring ourselves that the citizens
of Savannah know not of the exist-
ence of such a pity-deserving and
action-demanding condition.

It has been noted that there are
twelve girls living in the home.
They have twelve sheets (one
each), they have to wear each oth-
ers clothing in order to make a
change, and their subsistence is
NINE DOLLARS (each person)
per month.

It was noted a few days ago that
there is a thirteen-month-old in-
fant who crawls around in soiled
diapers and feasts on Irish pota-
toes and charcoal diurnally.

The need for elaboration on this
subject is not really necessary.
We ask you, the decent citizens of
Savannah and community, how
long could your daughter live on
nine dollars with a young baby
and purchasing clothes for the
two?

The Student Council For
Democracy

By WILLIAM P. McLEMORE

We may not have a Supreme
Court at Georgia State College
but we do believe in a democratic
form of government." This was
proved recently when the Student
Council met to amend the consti-
tution to admit equal representa-
tion, as that of any class, from
the Trade Division, and elect a
Student Judge, Associate Judge
and Recorder of Student Court.

Mr. Crawford Bryant was pre-
siding over the meeting and told
of the past, present, and future
activities of the Student Coun-
cil. Mr. Frank Davis opened the
house for business and Mr. Powell
motioned that we change the con-
stitution so that Trade Students
would be equally represented in
the Student Council, Rev. Charles
Holliman made an amendment to
the motion that the Trade Stu-
dents be equally represented and
given all rights and opportunities
as that of any other student. Mr.
Prince Jackson is the president of
the Student Council,

early passage of Civil Rights,
which includes: Anti-segregation,
anti-discrimination laws, abolish-
ment of segregation in the insti-
tutions of higher learning, in In-
terstate transportation, the abol-
ishment of all forms of jim crow-
ism and a strong Anti-Lynch Law.
The time is now, therefore, I
urge you to write letters and tele-
grams to the President of the
United States as individuals,
groups, or as organizations.

What About It
Colleagues?

By WILLIE GWYN

We the students of Georgia
State College and leaders of to-
morrow have a long hill to scale
to the intellectual heights. Shall
we find our way with the help oi
others or must we be forced along
in life getting nowhere?

Sometimes I wonder if we have
a sense of respect for each other.
In the classroom we sit and chai
while a student 13 reciting, we
walk about the campus daily with-
out speaking to each other, we
bump into each other time after
time and never say "excuse mt
please." These little things art
important; they help to build or
create a warm atmosphere wheii
regarded. Why can't we remember
to do these small things?

We are fortunate here at our
school to have- a fine selection ol
people coming to us from all over
our state and nation but, are we
grateful? I wonder. Do we realize
chat some of the people with whom
we rub shoulders each day may
be our co-workers when we are
out in life? If we accept this we
ought to begin building up rela-
tionships that are binding and re-
spectful. Think of it.

Whenever a large number of
people are involved nothing can
be accomplished without some
system. We know, however, that a
system isn't any good unless it is
used. What am I getting at?
While sitting in a class, English
103.4, Miss Annie Mae Samuels
made a short talk. This young
lady made her talk along with a
complaint, in fact, her talk point-
ed' at a serious problem. We know
about what happens to the .lines
on the days of registration. Stu-
dents who are late getting in on
the registration days take the ad-
vantage of those who are already
in line, cutting by 10s and 20s.
What about it colleagues? The
above mentioned class feels that
this matter is of a serious nature
and ought to be taken up with
the Student Council. We feel that
it is time to do something about it
ourselves if we expect to get along
with ourselves.

By our chronological record we
are pretty well matured as college
men and women. | Let us not fool
ourselves, there is plenty of room
for mental and emotional matur-
ity. This isn't an easy task but
let's get busy so that in years to
come we can walk the face of the
earth in human dignity respecting
the rights of all men.

Second Annual
Leadership

The Second Annual Leadership
Institute was held at Georgia
State College January 18-20. It
was highly successful and empha-
sized need for continued and tho-
rought preparation of college stu-
dents to meet the challenges which
rise out of society's unsolved prob-
lems.

"Preparing Better Leaders for
Georgia's Communities" was the
theme which was emphasized
throughout the conference. Dr. J.
W. Jamerson, Jr., promising den-
tist and civic worker, got the in-
stitute off to a fine start with a
brilliant keynote address on the
theme at the noon session on Jan-
uary 18. President James A. Cols-
ton made a stirring appeal to the
students here to utilize their time
and energies wisely in equipping
themselves for intelligent, con-
structive leadership. He spoke on
the topic, "Leadership for Georgia
Communities."

Influence Business
Student

By Paul L. Howard

The picture titled, "Success
Story" was shown to the business
3tudents by Mr. Walker, manager
of the local branch of the North
Carolina Mutual Life Insurance
Company. Over 25 business majors
saw the picture. The picture was
-ecommended to the business de-
partment by Mr. Robert C. Long,
acting chairman of the department.
, The first scene was in a six
story fireproof building in Dur-
ham, North Carolina, a house
what Archibald Ruthledge calls a
venture "unmatched in American
business." This $60,000,000 enter-
prise grew out of the dreams and
efforts of a Negro barber, John
Merrick, a Negro Doctor, Dr. A. M.
Moore, and a ten-dollar dishwash-
er, Charles C. Spaulding. It is an
Insurance company whose first
?lient died soon after he paid his
first 65c premium on a $40.00
straight life policy. The only as-
sets held by the compnay were
35c, the first premium. The three
men met in the back of Merrick's
barber shop and drained their
purses until they met the claim.
Since that dramatic beginning the
company has paid over $20,000,000
to its policy owners and has ex-
panded its services to include the
ownership and directorship of a
Negro Bank, a Bonding Company,
a Building and Loan Company, a
Medical Clinic, a Printing Office,
and several other businesses aim-
ed at lifting the Southern Negro
from economic annihilation.

The Financial Wizard, Charles
C. Spaulding, started out as the
first field agent and general man-
ager, with one added responsibili-
ty office boy and janitor- Today,
at the age of 71, he still manages
the concerns with more than sev-
eral thousand Negro workers in
the offices and on the field for
the North Carolina Mutual Life
Insurance Compnay,

Since the death of Mr. John
Merrick, Mr. Spaulding carries on.
The American business men proud-
ly claim him as one of their
greatest leaders, and heralds him
as a material messiah to the Ne-
gro people. He holds the honorary
degrees of master of Law and
Doctor of Law and has served as
a trustee to Shaw University,
Howard University and North
Carolina State College, at Dur-
ham. The great business hero ap-
peared on the Georgia State Camp-
us last year.

The picture was enjoyed by
every one who attended. Other
members of the College family
seeing the film included : Miss
Mildred L. Burch, administrative
assistant to the president; Mrs.
Lenore B. Bellinger, instructor of
business; Miss J. Elaine English,
secretary to Comptroller; Mr.
Franklin Carr, business teacher
and Mr. Robert C. Long, Sr.

An address feature this year was
the "Leadership Clinic" which
provided opportunity for our lead-
ers to analyze splendid problems
of student organizations with con-
sultants well versed in student
life.

Student leaders presided at all
of the sessions and group meet-
ings.

The student-faculty planning
committee included: Miss Beautine
Williams, Arthur Hart, Prince
Jackson, Charles Hall, Miss Rob-
bie Griffin, Miss Ida B. Girvin,
Miss Thelma Moss, Professor
James Parker, and Dean William
J. Holloway, chairman.

New Class For

Freshmen

The freshmen students of Geor-
gia State College attended an
initial meeting of a special noon
class for freshmen recently. The
class is being directed by the Stu-
dent Personnel Deportment under
the title of "Freshman Oritenta-
tion." These are regular classes
to be held each Wednesday from
12:00 to 12:30 in Meldrim Audi-
torium. The course is required and
credit will be allowed on the stu-
dent's record.

This course is being offered to
fully acquaint freshmen students
with the college and its program
and to assist them in making ad-
justments to college life. Emphasis
is placed on student participation
in the various discussions sched-
uled. Students are invited to ques-
tion or request discussion of sub-
jects concerning them.

In the first class meeting Miss
Charity E. Adams, dynamic co-
ordinator of Student personnel
services, presented Miss Janie L.
Lester, Georgia State veteran
teacher and Dean of Women, who
discussed "Georgia State College."
Miss Lester in her discussion cited
the historical background of the
college from its early formation
to the present time. She mentioned
among many things the achieve-
ments of Georgia State College's
former leaders and, the eventual
growth of the school into a note-
worthy institution.

Speaking in regards of our pre-
sent leader's administration she
said, "President James A. Colston
has done more in one year to-
ward improvement of the college
than his successors contributed dur-
ing their entire administration."
Referring to past graduates of
Georgia State college she remark-
de, "They are active in all phases
of life and making good." Those
who have entered other institutions
are among the "A" students. Miss
Lester concluded by urging all
students to Boost your school, love
your school Keep building a big-
ger and greater Georgia State Col-
lege.

Spring

The season of Spring seems to
be approaching rather rapidly.
Whenever this season comes, it is
time to rediscover and explore the
great out of doors.

Of course one cannot say that
this winter ha3 been long, cold
and dark, because it hasn't.

Soon everyone will hear the
chirping of the birds and see the
lovely flowers in bloom. The grass
and the leaves of the trees will
soon be turning to their natural
color of green,

While you are sitting in a warm
classroom, your eyes roam toward
the window, the sun and the blue
sky. You ache to be out where
the wind can blow in your face,
the air feels soft and the grass
is green.

Maybe you have an out door
hobby or perhaps you just enjoy
roaming the hills and sidewalks,
absorbing spring.

You'll enjoy this season more if
you knew something about the na-
tural phenomena of the world in
which you live. A starry sky is
more beautiful when you can rec-
ognize the big dipper. Bird's songs
are sweeter if you can tell the
song Sparrow from the meadow
Lark. You will be thrilled to know
that your're particular admiring
a rare yellow jasamine.

No one is suggesting that you
become a connoisseur in any of
these fields, but a general knowl-
edge of plant, bird and animal life
will increase your powers of ob-
servation and give you a great
deal of added enjoyment.

No one doubts that this summer
you will be ready to observe the
coming of winter in July!

Negroes Now
Admitted
To Medical Schools

Marquette University of Milwau-
kee, Wis., has announced that it
i3 willing to admit Negroes to its
School of Medicine. This will be-
come effective in September, 1949.
Mr. .William V. Kelley, executive
secretary of the Milwaukee Chap-
ter of the Urban League, has giv-
en notice to this effect to Dean
A. A. Taylor.

Negroes have never been en-
roled in the Marquette School of
Medicine, primarily because there
have been no applications. This
year, however, will mark the be-
ginning of better interracial rela-
tions at the University. This has
been the aim of the local chapter
of the Urban League and other
interested civic organizations for
some time. The school officials
have announced that qualified Ne-
gro students will be accepted.

The Albany Medical College, Al-
bany, N. Y., has also stated that
Negroes of superior ability will
be admitted, with preference to
residents of New York State. The
first Negro student began work
there last fall.

It is hoped that interested stu-
dents will apply in time for fall
enrollment.

Charles H. Bynum, the Founda-
tion's director of Interracial Ac-
tivities, speaking at a campaign
meeting in Miami, Fla.

Mr. Bynum stated that this is
the second grant made to Meharry
by the National Foundation. The
first grant totaled $67,670, and the
funds were designated for the
strengthening of related teaching
programs.

NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH

Do You Know The
Wright Family?

By HOSEA J. LOFTON

Mr. Ted Wright and his family
are such a dynamic group that this
paper chose to introduce them to
the public. All stories have their
beginning and so does this one.

Mr. Theodore A. Wright, head
coach at Georgia State College
was born the son of Albert and
Eila Wae Wright in Baldwin, Kan-
sas. His parents being members of
the original territorial settlers,
they were Spaniards.

During his early life he tost his
parents but he worked hard and
through much sacrifice and a spir-
it of perseverance which is an in-
stinctive characteristic of the pres-
ent Coach Wright, he managed to
graduate from a Baldwin city high
school. He went on to Baker Uni-
versity where he was an in-serv-
ice student teacher in 1925-26.

He was married on May 17, 1928,
Mrs. Wright is the former, Miss
Thelma Louise Paige, daughter of
Archie and Flossie Paige, of Sioux
City, Iowa. Her grandmother was
of an original tiibe of Sioux and
Cherokee Indians.

Mrs. Wright studied music at a
Kansas City school. Her ambition
was to become a concert pianist.
She finished music at a music con-
servatory after her marriage to
"Ted" as her husband is called.
After her graduation from the con-
servatory she taught private mu-
. sic classes.

She gave up work to aid her
husband in his work. Since then
she has filled in where she was
needed, which included doing his
secretarial work since he has nev-
er had a secretary. Now music has
become secondary to her. Mrs.
Wright is a very versatile person.
One exemplification of her varied
talents is the fact that she is a
competent dress designer and is
now designing and making the fa-
miliar blue and gold uniforms for
Georgia State's basketball cagers.
So when you observe the dazzling
beauty of the team's suits remem-
ber its only one of the many con-
tributions being made to thi3 in-
stitution by the Wrights.

Mr. and Mrs. Wright have gone
on trips together for over twenty-
one years. She remembers missing
only four games. When the blessed
event occurred, Ted, Jr., who was
nicknamad, Bunky, was destined to
become exposed to the travel fever.
When he was only two years old,
laying in a special swing, eh took
his first automobile ride, three
hundred and fifty miles. Ted, Jr.,
is one of the three children they
now have. There are Noel and Pa-
tricia Wright, the younger mem-
bers of the family.

Coach Wright, unlike many
young boys, declares he had no se-
cret ambitions and he doesn't at-
tribute the choosing of his career
to any particular inspiration. Nev-
ertheless, track and field sport
have become an integral part of
his life. His past achievements
proves this fact.

He first coached as an in-serv-
ice teacher at Baker University.
Preceding his graduation, he
taught at Talladega, Ala., for 3
years and at Xavier University in
New Orleans, La., for 14 years. He
came to Georgia State in July of
1947. The Wrights feel that Xavi-
er was one of the most interesting
places they have worked*

"Anything you work for you
live it." I can't contradict the
lidity of the statement but this
count proves the saying has some
truth. When the Wrights came to
Xavier there was no facilities for
boarding students and no publii
relation manager. They solved the

latter problem by sitting up
nights after games and writing
their sports news for publication
until a public relation manager
was secured. The athletes needed
a place to stay and dining provis-
ions, so Mrs. Wright solved this
problem by cooking in large pots
in which food for the entire team
could be prepared. They went in-
to town and bought silverware
and dishes. They quartered the
team in their home and through
the season was spent with much
discomfort, it proves where there's
a will there's a way. The Wrights
at Xavier, like early pioneers,
proved man can defeat adverse
circumstances. The next year the
school system was improved.

At Xavier, Coach Wright devel-
oped many of his prized athletes.
Boys who became national cham-
pions. One of them being Jimmy
McDaniel of Los Angeles, who be-
came the first Negro in history to
hold the title of National Singles
Tennis champion. Another cham-
pion was James Cowen, who play-
ed in championship matches. He
formed a crack basketball squad,
"the Ambassadors'.

This team was the championship
team for three years. "This i
one of the greatest teams of all
times," proudly states Coach
Wright. He spoke enthusiastically
of these achievements. The cham-
pionship qualities of his team is
largely due, as he puts it, "we have
a love for sports and children."
About his career and why he fa-
vored coaching, he said, "I don't
know, I like it, and I'm interested
in the students."

His philosophy is mainly con-
cerned with helping the children
and he practices what he preaches,
He has helped mold the lives of
more than five hundred boys who

are now very successful men in
all walks of life. He refers with
pride to Professor 0. L. Douglas,
principal of Beach-Cuyler here in
Savannah. He has aided 18 boys
and girls by financing their way
through school. Students who face
suspension due to financial disa-
bility, were snatched from hope-
less despair by the kindly Wrights.
They remembered times when they
were so enchanted in their work
they failed to eat sufficiently for
a couple of days.

The Wrights get the prizes for
miles traveled. They have been in
every state in the Union except
one. In traveling they have gained
intimate relationship with well
known personalities as: Faye
Young and Chest Washington, Ric
Roberts, Marian Jackson, and
many other sports writers.

Social affairs get little attention
from the Wrights, since their
lives are a merry-go-round of ac-
tivities. Mr. Wright coaches all the
track and field games which gives
him a year-round job. Their phi-
losophies are in L connection with
children, which explains their kind
deeds.

"We would want to be by other
parent's children as we would want
them to be by ours. We are nat-
urally interested in young people."
They like dances but seldom find
time to attend them. Mrs. Wright
plays for informal gatherings of-
ten. Their inactiveness in social
affairs is not only due to the time
required to effect success in Coach
Wright's field but they believe
what they are doing is more im-
portant than other things.

Can you conceive of people so
gallant, so conscious of their fel-
low man's welfare being called
selfish? Our human relationships
would be a lot better if we all were

as generous and unselfish.

Many of the boys call M.. and
Mrs. Wright "Robe and Mom", the
reason for the former title could
not be determined. This reveals the
intimate relations that exist be-
tween coach and player this is
the kind of unity that builds great
teams.

I have attempted to share with
you the experiences of some of
God's finest people. I hope you be-
lieve as I do that Coach Wright is
more than a gieat coach. The fact
that the boys he coaches value his
opinion and judgment; allow hin
to share their most precious se-
crets and difficult problems. The
fact that their home is always
open to provide a welcome, friend-
ly, home-like atmosphere for those
away from home, proves that he is
a father to humanity.

family. YOU KNOW THE

six-weeks session in Europe
for next summer has just been ar-
anged by the New School for So-
cial Science in New York in co-
operation with World Study tours,
Columbia University Travel Serv-
ice. The purpose of the session,
according to President Bryan J.
Hovde of the New School is two-
fold, "to afford American stu-
dents the opportunity to study po-
litical and economic conditions at
first hand in this time of crisis,
and thus to gain a clearer insight
into existing problems, and sec-
ond to advance the cause of inter-
national understanding through
the free mingling with peoples of
other lands." Special emphasis
will be laid on the political and
economic aspects of the European
Recovery Program and the work
of the United Nations' Ecnomic
Commission for Europe, East-
West relations and the problems
of Germany.

The New School for Social Re-
search, lanking institution for
higher adult education in the
country, offers over 300 courses
each term to some 7000 students,
many of whom are working for
bachelor's and advanced degrees.
The New School faculty is a dis-
tinguished one, composed of many
international schools drawn from
leading universities both in this
country and in Europe.

The summer session will be held
in three European cities, an Eng-
lish industrial city to be selected,
Paris, and Annecy, France, near
Geneva. Three separate groups of
approximately seventy students
each will visit each country for
two weeks, studying under lead-
ing American scholars assisted by
European professors and experts.
Graduate, undergraduate and
"alertness" credit may be earned.
Non-credit students will not be
accepted.

In addition to attending classes
for six weeks, every student will
visit London and take a bus trip
from Annecy to Brussels via
Berne, Basle. Mulhouse, Stras-
bourg, Saarbruck, Luxembourg,
Cologne and Essen. Each student
will be given one week off to go
where he pleases.

Three courses of 30 hours each
will be offered. These will consist
of a general or orientation course
on the history and culture of the
countries visited, a course on the
political and current problems of
England, France, Switzerland and
Central Europe. A member of the
New School faculty will be in
charge of the orientation program
in each center and will call upon
visiting lecturers selected from
local universities and experts in
various fields. A political scien-
tist and an economist from the
New School will accompany each
group for the entire session. Lec-
tures will be supplemented by vis-
its and field trips to cultural cen-
ters, industrial plants, schools,
government agencies and the like.

The first group, to be made up
largely of teachers working for
"alertness" or additional credit,
will leave the United States on
July 5, returning September 4 in
time for the opening of public
schools; the second group, open to
undergraduates of at least junior
standing working for their Bache-
lor's degree, will leave on July 6,
arriving home, September 6; the
third group, limited to graduate
students, departs July 15 and gets
back on September 20.

States will be by chartered planes,

Student Activities Hold Spotlight

"Toki" Women's
Council Guest

"Some people come into the
world possessing charm," Mrs.
Toki Schalk Johnson, said Sun-
day, April 10 as she delivered the
opening address as the Women's
Council of Georgia State College
held its initial program of its
fourth annual Charm Week ob-
servance.

The women's editor of Americas'
largest Negro newspaper added
that there are others who must
develop charm. You must have
the fundamental quality of hu-
mility ... if you desire charm,
Mrs. Johnson said.

"Charm is something that
reaches out. Shy people who have
forced themselves or have been
forced to come to college very ral-
ly possess charm. In college it is
impossible to shelter yourself from
other people. College students or
people in general are not inter-
ested in your happiness. If you've
got to complain, go into your own
room to do so.

"The ability to walk into a door-
way with your head up denotes
pride . . . and pride is funda-
mentally important along with
charm. Education is necessary to
bring out <jnVrm, Read everything
that you can get such as Seventeen
and Mademoiselle.

Mrs. Johnson then listed several
items which she termed hints."
They included:

1. Choose your clothes careful-
ly, (2) Keep your figure, (3) Be
careful in your makeup, (4) be
as charming at home as away and
(5) have faith in yourself.

The national evangelist sppke to
his Radio audience on the subject,
"Something To Live By." The
able minister concerned himself
with the importance of man's
seeking a goal in life and having
a principle to guide him through

stating : "Men die because they
have nothing to live by. Even
though they don't die physically,
they die spiritually."

The gospel prophet expounded
the truth that unless man can lay
hold upon faith in God, he has
nothing to live by. He concluded
with this challenge; "The world

WE INVITE YOU TO ENROLL AT GEORGIA STATE
COLLEGE AND BECOME A PART OF THIS FAMILY
. . . A FAMILY DEDICATED TO PUBLIC SERVICE . .

An Editorial

This issue of THE TIGER'S ROAR, designated as the
High School Edition, is designed primarily for high school
students who are desirous of information about and with
a view toward entering Georgia State College.

In it we are attempting to take YOU behind the scenes
of Georgia State College. This is done in two ways, via use
of our Speed Graphic camera, and personal messages from
the President, the Dean of Faculty, division heads, depart-
ment heads, members of the faculty and the students
themselves.

We thimk Georgia State College is a swell place to go
to college. YOU'LL find that its cordial at all times and
its family dedicated to public service.

Possessing one of the strongest faculties in this section ;
one that is being strengthened at every available oppor-
tunity, Georgia State CoL'^ge is equipped to develop the
total individual. Th College is concerned that each student
live deeply and happily as a socially balanced, spiritually
mature person.

Georgia State College is located five miles from Sa-
vannah in the township of Thunderbolt. Savannah is rich
in historical literature and presently is Georgia's largest and
chief seaport.

The palm-lined, moss-ladened campus stamps itself as
the most beautiful campus in this area. Its natural beauty
is unique in itself. All this lends itself to a wholesome and
pleasant atmosphere for study.

Georgia State College was established by the legislature
of 1890 in connection with the State University for the edu-
cation and training of Negro students. It is a four-year
institution supported through the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia and accredited by the South-
ern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the
State Department of Education.

Cultural development is but one phase of life on the
campus. The committee on cultural activities brings to the
campus through its music, art, and lecture series world-
renowned artists of the concert stage and significant writers
and thinkers of our time. Special programs planned for
each quarter bring top-flight performers to the College
Community. Campus music groups provide additional op-
portunities for enjoyment through concerts, speciftl appear-
ances, and broadcasts.

Opportunities for worship and for the development of
Christian idealism are offered the students at Georgia State
College. The College sponsors a Protestant service each
Sunday morning, a mass for Catholic students, and a Vesper
Hour each Sunday evening. ,

An Opportunity
To Serve

By
PAUL L. HOWARD

The coming years offer to the
young college-trained man or wom-
an an unlimited chance to serve
his fellow-citizens. For, at least
the next decade, we will find our-
selves confronted with vast and
far-reaching alternations in the
cultural, economic, and political
patterns of this country as well
as the world at large. These
changes, without a doubt, will af-
fect every community in the na-
tion; and in many instances the
effect will not be favorable to the
easily-disturbed masses of people.
Confusion will be the spirit of the
times.

Such a situation will call for
trained men of integrity who stand
for right, men who believe in the
equality of human dignity. But
above all, the situation will call
for unselfish men, men who de-
rive joy from serving and helping
their fellowmen.

The young professional Negro
man, regardless of hie particular
field of endeavor, must play an
active, helpful role in the civic
program of his community. And.
f the existing program does not
meet the needs of the people, it
lis moral duty to use every
ounce of his influence and knowl-
edge in the realization of a pro
gram that does. He cannot ren-
der such services unless he meets
the above knowledge of certain
techniques of leadership as well

At present, as in the past, too

any Negro youths motivated by
selfishness enter colleges and uni-
versities. The results is that our
ace lacks a sufficient number of
ntelligent, sincere leaders, Col-
lege-trained Negroes in hundreds
of small towns concern themselves
only with personal gain, so that
today the masses of Negroea live
n a state of confusion. The col-
ege-trained man who concerns
himself only with personal gains,
and works for narrow ends is ex-
ploiting his real function or is
ignorant of his duty. A college-
irained man should . work for the
[tegration of society and for the
ettermen of his fellowman.

The question is not whether or
not he will desert his opportunity
for security entirely in order to
render free service. The question
s merely; will he help his race,
ir will be exploit and hinder his
i-ace?

Only the individual student can
decide for himself the manner in
which he will answer. Fifteen mil-
lion Negroes are waiting for your
answer.

Tax Referendum
Rejected

The rejection of the tax refer-
endum on April 6, clearly illus-
trates the feeling of a populace
already over-burdened with high
taxes which are not uniform with
the earning power of the average
citizen; likewise, it was a rejec-
tion of any form of sales tax and
the nuisances which usually go
along with this type of tax.

The overall tax program would
have been a burden to the public;
however, this does not say that
the public is not in favor of im-
proving health and educational fa-
cilities throughout the state. Had
the voters been allowed to vote
for the program in part the re-
sult would have heen far more
favorable.

Our Legislature should here-
after use the pass episode as an
example in any other referendum
to be placed before the public. At
least two methods of taxation
should be included along with pro
visions to vote in-part for oi
against the different utilities to
be improved through increased
taxation.

A referendum on the same
sues and patterned along the lines
of the preceding suggestions would
possibly have a result in favor of
taxes for health and educational
improvements instead of a com'
plete rejection by such a large
majority. MOST PARENTS DE-

The Editor Speaks

I am sure you will agree with
me that the student newspaper
is an indispensable organ in the
college program. Through it acti-
vities . . . can be publicized. To
the college student I have found
that a student paper is a co-op-
erative function, an activity that
everyone can help make directly
or indirectly a success. It is the
student body's prize possession.

The Tiger's Roar exchange sys-
tem, this year, has been developed
to a very high degree. We may
note here that this is the first
time Georgia State College, stu-
dents operated an exchange sys-
tem. At present the system in-
cludes such institutions as Fisk
University, Virginia State, South-
ern University, Albany State, and
the University of South Dakota,
and over one hundred other col-
leges and universities in the coun-
try.

The student newspaper affords
the English or journalism student
an opportunity for practical ap-
plication of his ability. Even the
pure journalists who writes for the
sake of the art receives the ex-
perience and benefit in this inter-
esting field. He learns to speak
correctly and clearly when doing
interviews. He comes in contact
with a great cross section of hu-
man personality.

There is a critical shortage of
well trained Negroes in this field.
The student who works with the
school paper obtains a wealth
of knowledge about journalism. He
gets the knack of the atmosphere
and if he likes it, "won another
journalist. "Being exposed to thi3
kind of activity means a lot to
the student. He becomes alert,
neat, and critical. He learns to
observe and most of all to think
constructively. One of the main
qualifications of a journalist is
to be accurate.

they feel must be something
which one can see and manipulate.
Hence far too many of us force
ourselves to be satisfied with
things that are not big enough to
inspire our supreme devotion.
Family, social group, race, religi-
ous sect none of these partial loy-
alties are either full controllable
or passably satisfying . . ."

were represented at the game that
they played Fort Valley college
in Macon, Georgia. Those who were
there include: Crawfort and Albert
Bryant, Perry "Spud" Williams,
Charles Wardlaw, Ted Holmes, and
Joe ^Turner.

The game was very good even
though we lost with a score of
40-49. There is a tie between the
two teams for we beat them at
home and they beat us there.
Seemingly, both teams are very
good.

ed the syncopation with Mr. Mer-
vin Jackson and Mr, Nathan For-
ster vocalising the sentimental
pieces. I must add here that Mr.
Jackson certainly did a wonderful
job of sinking Trees. It was
well done iliat he was requested
to sing it rnrain. Mr. Forster w:
at his best in singing Stardust

Campus Community
Club Organized

By M. G. Harrison

^S'he women of the faculty, wives
of faculty members and women of
the immediate community have or-

ticipated in the Christmas cele-
bration for the children of Thun-
der bolt. This program was given

Everybody's
Business

Gess, this weather certainly is
changeable. However, it doesn't
affect the love birds any, be it cold,
warm, hot, or rainy. Lately, we
have been having some lovely
weather and the guys and gals
are really taking the advantage
of it.

Let me tell you gone people a
thing or two. Listen now while I
do the gabbing, Girls, for every
woman who makes a fool out of a
man, there is another woman who
makes a man out of a fool. So
don't try that out for you'll end
up being sorry. Did you girls
know that there are only two kind
men? Well there are for
there are those who love women,
and these make you unhappy;
those who do not love women, and
these bore you. Now isn't that
the truth? Now boys, remember
this and think about it: What you
do for a woman, she may forget,
but what you have failed to do,
that will she always remember.
How true how true. Pick up now
guys and don't say that I didn't
warn you.

who holds the M. A. degree in
journalism from the State Uni-
versity of Journal. He is a.lso
co-advisor for the Tiger's Roar.
His students are required to work
with the school paper. His courses
are well organized to embody
tours of the local newspapers
plants and many other related
activities. Large numbers of stu-
dents who are not primarily in-
terested in a journalist's career
have crowded the publication of-
fice seeking a position with the
paper. This stands self-evident that
the domance of journalism has
an attractive power to students

The English Department

Mr. J. Randolph Fisher believes
that the future will provide bet-
ter opportunities to professionals
who can speak the English lan-
guage effectively. The Howard
University graduate listed the Ob-
jectives of the English Depart-
ment as follows:

The aim of the Department of
Language and Literature is to help
the student become proficient in
oral and written language, and
to help him develop an apprecia-
tion for good literature.

A student who has successfully
pursued English as his major sub-
ject should have some power to
discriminate between that which
is genuinely great and that which
is less great in literature, should
have an intelligent acquaintance
with a fair number of English
masterpieces, should have some
facility, taste and understanding in
expression, and should have some
idea of the main trends of Eng-
lish and American thought.

All freshman students are giv-
en a placement test in English.
Those passing the test enter Eng-
lish 101; those who fail are plac-
ed in non-credit groups accord-
ing to the score made in the test.
If at the end of the quarter a
student passes the test and has
done creditable work, he is given
credit for his work and is allowed
to take English 102. Students are
required to pass the test before
they receive credit for their work.
Students who show a very high
proficiency may be allowed to en
ter English 102.

A student majoring in English
Language and Literature must
take 55 credits in the course in
language, composition, literature
and speech offered by the Depart-
ment. A minor in English requires
45 credits for completion. Not
more than one course in composi-
tion may be taken at a time. The
specific courses requirements for
both major, and minor are the
best and written by the best rec
ognized authors.

The Dean of Faculty

The organization of the modern
college is like many other insti-
tutions- The college has developed
its present pattern or organization
to meet specific needs in the pro-
gram of higher education. The
growth of colleges in size and
services has made it necessary for
the President of the college to al-
locate certain functions to other
members of the faculty. These'
other staff members, along with
the President, are known as the
administrative staff of the college.
The Dean of Faculty of Georgia
State College, with the members
of the instructional staff, is re-
sponsible for "the instruction pro-
gram of the CoUege. He is ex-
pected to coordinate the work of
the four major divisions of the in-
stitution agriculture, arts and
sciences, home economics and
trades and industries. In the per-
formance of these duties he is
actively concerned with the pro-
motion and development of good
scholarship, good teaching, effec-
tive curricula, and the administra-
tion of such rules and regulations
as the faculty shall make relative
to the academic program.

In addition to the foregoing
duties the Dean of Faculty co-
operates with other officers and
instructors in providing oppor-
tunities for maximum growth and
development of each student. In
this phase of the program he gives
attention to student loads, at-
tendance, success in classes, pro-
gress in college, and problems af-
fecting the student's scholastic
life.

Department of Education

The Department of Education is
organized to provide instruction
and guidance for students who
plan to enter the teaching profes-
sion. It is an administrative unit
in which a major program is of-
fered in the field of elementary
education. Students who plan to
teach on the secondary level select
their majors in the content sub-
jects such as English, mathema-
tics, social science, chemistry, bi-
ology, etc. To these students the
Department of Education functions
in an advisory capacity. The De-
partment plans and directs the
professional education program of
the prospective teachers. Informa-
tion relating to certification and
supply and demand of teachers on
the various levels is kept up to
date.

W. K. PAYNE
Director

Georgia State College is com-
mitted to the idea of meeting the
professional needs of in-service
and pre-service teachers. Con-
tinuous studies of the needs of
schools and teachers in Georgia
are carried on by the college in
order that the program may be
geared to current demands for
teachers in the state.

Students desiring to prepare for
teaching careers will find at Geor-
gia State rich opportunities to
gain skill in using a variety of
teaching skills and methods. An
Education Laboratory, operating in
conjunction with an Audio-Visual
Center, a Reading Clinic, and an
Art Center, insure opportunities
for capable students to become
superior teachers. A field experi-
ence during the sophomore year
enables the student to get first-
hand information regarding the
problems of teaching which the
3tudent can use in planning his
work during his last three years.
The student receives steady help
ih the use of techniques for furth-
ering good human relations in the
classroom and community. A col-
lege placement service seeks to
locate employment opportunities
for qualified teachers.

Dr. W. H. Brown, Director,
Division of Arts and Sciences.

The College Minister

The greatest part of our ad-
vancement comes through Religion.
Here at Georgia State College is
one of the best men in this modern
era of religion; he is the Rev.
Ernest J. Armstrong, college min-
ister. When interviewed he map-
ed his program as follows: ,

1. To help students develop "an
attitude born of religion."

2. To help develop students who
vill be constructively critical of
'seclarism of our age-"

"In order to achieve these ob-
jectives, the College Minister
works with a student-faculty com-
mittee of Religious Life, appoint-
ed by the president, to develop,
interpret, and execute the follow-
ing program which is coordinated
with the program of the Office
of Student Personnel Service.

1. Personal Counseling is one
of the major activities of the col-
lege minister. Counseling with stu-
dents is approached in a variety
of ways and in a number of places,
such as: in his office, walking
across the campus, riding to or
from town, at social gatherings,
in the dining room and College
Inn, in the infirmary and hospital,
Rev. Armstrong said. However,
students should take advantage of
the regular office hours for coun-
seling, he added.

2. The Sunday Morning All-
College Religious Worship has no
substitute in a college community.
An experience of corporate (large
group) worship reinforces one's
confidence in himself, faith in his
fellowman, and trust in his God.
Our worship service deals with
some of the major areas of re-
ligious thoughts, such as: The
meaning of God in Human Ex-
perience; The place of the teach-
ings of Jesus in our life as Col-
lege people; A Knowledge of and
appreciation for the world's Liv-

READING CLINIC AT GSC UNIQUE

Seeks To

Help Students

By Hosea J. Lofton

There are great numbers of peo-
ple suffering from an inability to
'understand the printed page.
Though they may not realize it,
this deficiency seriously hampers
their chance for normal adjust-
ment to our complex society, since
the written word is one of foui
chief modes of mass communica-
tion. Realizing the acute need
of students for special training in
this area, Georgia State College
has made available a Reading
Clinic directed by Mrs. E. R. Cun-
ningham.

The purpose of the clinic is to
train students through tested sys-
tematic processes so that the gen-
eral ability to read efficiently can
be improved. Students are urged
to use the services of the Reading
Clinic to improve their readi
ability. Improvement can be made
in comprehension, accuracy, and
speed of reading. There are vart
ous methods by which these aims
are accomplished, and we will t
sider them here.

Diagnosis Used in The Clin

Standardized tests administered
to each clinical patient are divided
into the following divisions: rate
of reading, comprehension,
ed reading, poetry comprehension,
word meaning, sentence meaning,
paragraph comprehension, and lo-
cation of information. The result
of each test is filed as reference
data. Each student learns from
this his weaknesses and begins im-
mediately to work on these points.
Then the director employs the aid
of precision instruments which
reveal other reading faults of the
patient. These instruments are
listed in the usual order of their
use.
Instruments Used in the Ch

The Recording Machine is used
to record the patient's reading
voice. Errors in phrasing, pro-
nunciation of words, enunciation
and reading with understanding
are clearly shown through this
means. Best of all, each patient
hears how he sounds to others as
he reads. He has two recording:
one at the beginning of the
course when he is untrained, and
the second at the end of the
after training. In this way he
can actually "hear" his improve-
ment. These records are filed
along with other data used to de-
termine the patient's progress.

To obtain further conclusive evi-
dence of reading handicaps, an
instrument called the tachistoscope
(or flashmeter) finds practical ap-
plication. This 1 is an instrument
that flashes word, phrases, num-
bers, figures, or paragraphs on a
screen in fractions of a second.
The student learns by this means
to recognize words or groups of
words as fast as one-hundreths
of a second. He increases his
speed of reading, becomes more
accurate in recognizing words, and
widens his eye span.

Another instrument in the clin-
ic is the ophthalmograph which
takes a moving picture of the eye
while reading. After the film is
developed, each patient, with the
aid of the instructor, knows his
rate of reading, his eye span, the
number of regressions he makes
per 100 words, the rhythm of his
reading, and how well he com-
prehends what he reads.

A fourth instrument of vital im-
portance in the clinic is the tele-
binoocular which indicates eye dif-
ficulty. An accurate record of
the physical condition of both eyes
can be obtained. If the condition
warrants it, the student is advised

to seek a more thorough examina-
tion by an experienced optician.
Methods Used in The Operation
of the Clinic
Now that these instruments
have had their say, the clinic di-
rector has a clear and comprehen-
sive picture of the student's defi-
ciencies. This information is
analyzed and separate programs
for individual use are worked out
to facilitate treatment of diffi-
culties as they appear on the rec-
ord. Few group assignments can
be issued to clinic patients since
each student may require differ-
ent treatment. Tests must be giv-
en continually to discover rate of
improvement and direction of
progress. It is not unusual to
find almost every member of the
clinic engaging in a different ac-
tivity. However there are some
projects that affect the entire
group.

Outside assignments consist of
reading books such as fiction and
biography. This procedure not
only directly influences the im-
provement of reading skills, but
serves as a cultural function by
stimulating the student's interest
in reading worthwhile books. Thus
the object becomes not only a class
duty but a healthy habit. A rec-
ord of the number of books read,
their classification, and the read-
ing time is recorded and filed by
the student. The student learns
through book reports how to evalu-
ate, criticize, and discuss before
the class his books read. These re-
ports are read orally once a week
in class by the student. English
usages and ability to comprehend
is checked in this way since com-
ments and reports must be orig-
inal.

There is also a textbook in com-
bination with a workbook used in
the clinic. The text includes writ-
ings of all types dealing with cur-
rent topics and cultural subjects
written by people from many walks
of life. The student reads the ar-
ticles selected by the instructor
and enters the time required for
his reading in his workbook. These
articles are thoroughly discussed
in class with stress on the mean-
ing of the author, the definition
of word unfamiliar to the student,
and main ideas in the paragraphs.
A class session is allowed for vo-
cabulary extension so that the
student can become familiar with
new words, their use, and their
meaning.

Students Conduct Classes
Another educational advantage
is prompted by the extensive duties
of the clinic instructor. Because
so much time is needed to check
and compare records, students are
appointed in a democratic manner
to conduct classes for group work.
The knowledge gained through this
experience aids the student by giv-
ing him a bird's eye view of teach-
ing. On days when there is n<
group textbook work, the student
may do his "free reading." A
great volume of newspapers and
magazines are kept in stock to en.
courage and train the student in
eading this type of material and
to locate desirable material. All
of the more popular newspaper
editions and magazines are
ceived weekly or monthly and
placed at the student's disposal.

with better understanding. The
course has not only become inter-
esting, but its benefits are exten-
sive as well.
Evaluating The Clinic's Service
We can see by now that the
Reading Clinic is almost an in-
dispensiblc department in tht
school's training program. Stu-
dents, in most cases, fail to pass
courses in the curriculum because
they do not know how to study
effectively. Why is this? Because
they cannot read with understand'
ing. They are often vague as to
what the course and the daily
signments are about. There are
many ways in which the Reading
Clinic can and does aid the stu-
dent to clear up these habits of
inefficient reading and non-profit-
able study. The student : body of
Georgia State College is proud of
this very practical course which
can be so helpful and meaningful
to their everyday living.

Clinic
At first, the average student
takes an extremely resentful atti-
tude twoard the reading course. It
is amazing, however, how soon he
realizes his need for training in
reading. Once he is aware of this,
his attitude changes to one of ap-
preciation, and he becomes a living
'testimony to the fact that the

course has taught him to read nella. He recalled that Jackie and
faster with more efficiency and J Roy had played only the night be-

Dr. Win.
Banquet Speaker

The society fences are crumb-
ling in the sports world, Dr. Wil-
liam M. Boyd, chairman of the
Atlanta University political science
department told the approximate-
ly 200 men assembled at the ban-
quet as Georgia State College ob-
served its second annual Men's
Day festivities,

Speaking to the group as last
Saturday evening, April 8, the
outstanding young leader pointed
to such Negro diamond stars as
Larry Doby, Jackie Robinson,
Satchell Paige, and Roy Campa-

fore in Atlanta.

"In the field of sports there is
little room for the man who wants
to stand out individually. Con-
fidence, strategy as well as skill
of execution are necessary if one is
to get co-operation," Dr. Boyd
declared.

The college student must de-
velop a sense of social, and civic
responsibility. There are many
things to be learned from sports.
To illustrate this point, Dr. Boyd
selected the game of football. II
calls for superb planning, organi-
zation fullest utilization of skill
and maximum participation neces-
sary to achieve the objective.
"These principles can definitely be
applied to everyday life," he said.
Far too long we as a group
have followed the life of Rip Van
Winkle ... we are not willing to
participate as a group in civic
and social affairs as in athletics,
Dr. Boyd added.

Dr. Boyd who is also president
of the National Association of
Social Science teachers, was intro-
duced by William J. Holloway.
dean of men and founder of the
Men's Day festivities. President
James A. Colston spoke for a few
minutes following the main ad-
dress. He was especially high in
his praise of Dr. Boyd and said
ho was truly one of the great
young Americans. Walter J. Leon-
ard NAACP young, council prcsi-
dent presided.

Another phase of the progran
was the presentation of medals
by President Colston to the first
and second place winners in the
softball, track and field events
that took place earlier in the day.
Winners included Frank Prince,
Enoch Roberts, Clarence Smith,
Linwood Denton, Frank Johnson,

Audio- Visual

Aid Center

The Georgia State College
Audio-Visual Aids Center is an
all college service center. Like the
college library, it is a center from
which radiate many learning ac-
tivities. Here the student can find
convenient and enjoyable avenues
of acquiring worlds of informa-
tion in a very short period of time
through the medium of the motion
picture. The world, heretofore be-
yond the reach of the average stu-
dent, can be brought near at hand
for careful investigation. Students
are encouraged to take advantage
of this opportunity to enrich their
backgrounds, lift their horizons.
Documentary films serve the same
purpose, for example, as a library
book in the preparation of a term
paper. There is no reason why a
bibliography for an investigative
paper should not contain inter-
views or films as well as books
and articles. A term paper may
often be enhanced by the pres-
ence of snapshots taken and pro-
ceeded by the writer. Here is an-
other way in which a Georgia
State College student may use the
resources of the Center.

The Audio-Visual Aids Center is
not merely a center from which
16mm films flow. It is a center
from which many kinds of learn-
ing aids may be found. The pho-
tographic darkroom provides op-
portunities for the development of
hobbies as well as teaching and
learning aids. A- student may
come in for instruction on the
basic techniques of film develop-
ment and print making during
one of the regularly scheduled
clinics. Thereafter he may ven-
ture in the darkroom and achieve
as much as his ability and inter-
est will permit. There are books
and magazines on photography to
which the student may turn to find
information or helpful suggestions
toward the solution of his pSoto-
graphic problems. The Center
makes provisions for photographic
salons in which students may dis-
play their photographic efforts.

Another interesting opportunity
which is knocking at the doors of
Georgia State College Students is
that of recordings. The Center
possesses recording equipment,/
and students are encouraged to''
come to the center to make record-
ings of their expression efforts.
After these recordings are made a
student may listen to himself for
self criticism; he may have friends
or teachers listen and criticize. The
talks or speeches may then be re-
recorded with the necessary cor-
rections. This is an excellent ap-
proach to self-cultivation of oral
expression.

The Audio-Visual Aids Center is
a resource center, but cannot be
considered as such unless it ia
used. It U imperative, thereof
that students make extensive use
of the rich resources which are
present on the campus. School re-
lources become necessary only
when they serve the urgent needs;
of the students. The extent to
which students use the library and
other resources determines, in a
large measure, the extent to which
new resources are provided. The
Audio-Visual Aids Cnter is yours.
Use it to the full. Choose your-
self as your experimental guinea
pig. Come to the Center to de-
velop your oral expression, build
up and enrich your background,
develop hobbies (incidently, the
darkroom opens healthy avenues
towards a worthwhile vocation.)

VET CLUB OBSERVES ARMY DAY

President Clement
Commencement
Speaker

Rufus E. Clement, Ph.D., noted
educator, will deliver the com-
mencement day address at Georgia
State College June 8.

Dr. Clement, president of At
lanta University, has been an in-
spiration for American Negro
youth since 1920. After receiving
his M.A. in 1922, he accepted the
professorship in history and gov-
ernment at Livingston College in
his home town, Salisbury, N". C.
Three years lat-er he became dean
of faculty and remained there un-
til 1931. He then went to Louis-
ville Municipal College where he
acted as dean of faculty also. In
1937, the noted educator accepted
the presidency of Atlanta Univer-
sity and has remained there since.

Dr. Clement has written a num-
ber of books 0(1 Negro history and
education. Among them are "The
Church School As A Social Fac-
tor In Negro Life," and "A His-
tory of Negro Education In North
Carolina."

ligious illiteracy.

3. The Sunday School acquaints
3tudents with the contents of the
Bible and other religious litera-
ture. One may achieve a lifelong
insight or challenge from these
Sunday School discussions.

4. The Sunday Vesper Hour is
dedicated to the development of
Body, Mind, and Spirit. This serv-
ice also serves as a medium of

ganization of Catliolic students and
religious activities among them-
selves. This club is international
in its scope and is found in lead-
ing colleges and Universities
where ever there is a sufficient
number of Catholic students.

8. Our Religious Emphasis
Week seeks to emphasize the re-
ligious program of the College.

Our sincere thanks go to the
Religious Life Committee, the Ad-
ministration, Students and faculty,
for their fine contributions and
cooperation in the religious pro-
gram of GSC. It has been most
gratifying to see the spirit of
"Team work" prevail among all
of these groups and between this
office and the several departments
of the College,

We live in a world of social and
industrial unrest; political chaos:
and religious bickering; economic
imperialism and military enthron-
ment. Almost as clearly as in the
declining days of the Roman Em-
pire, our scheme of values seem;
to have broken down. We believe
that in order for civilization to be
saved, its secular supersture must
be put back on religious founda-
tions. It is our hope that through
our religious program, the Geor-
gia State Student will develop
"an attitude born of religion" a
faith in and concept of God that
\\ revitalize the human mind
and spirit; and a religious foun-
dation for the secular superstruc-
ture of our age. In a word, it is
our hope that he develops into
a "socially balanced and spiritually
mature" person. To these ends,
the Office of the College Min-
ster is effectionately dedicated.
To the faculty, students, staff
alumni, and friends of Georgia
State College, our doors are al-
ways open for

munity. They consist of groups of
student and faculty of various
races and creeds united by a com-
mon loyalty to Jesus Christ. In
the Fellowship of the Christian
Church, they seek to understand
the will of God through worship,
study and action, and strive to
realize it both in personal living
and in working towards a new so-
ciety.

Bishop Wright
Slated to Deliver
Baccalaureate
Address

Bishop R. R. Wright, Jr., Ph.D.
the presiding Bishop of the A. M.
E. Church in Georgia, will deliver
the Baccalaureate sermon here at
Georgia State College on June 5.
Dr. Wright is the son of the late
Maj. R. R. Wright, Sr., who was
the first President of Georgia
State College.

Dr. Wright has presided over
the districts of New York, Ken-
tucky, Tennessee, Georgia and also
over the African Episcopal district
for four years.

The Bishop is known as a
preacher, scholar, philosopher,
traveler and leader. To prove his
ability as a scholar, he has written
several books including an Ency-
clopedia which contains six hun-
dred and eighty-eight pages.

Dr, Wm. Boyd
GSC Men's Guest

"We as Negroes need to arise
from our Rip Van Winkle slumber
as we are a definite part of the
American culture," Dr. William M.
Boyd said recently as he spoke at
Sunday vespers at Georgia State
College. He was a guest of the
GSC men.

The Atlanta University Politic-
al Science department head con-
cerned himself primarily with two
things, ideas and power. He said
we as Negroes must emancipate
our own minds, must rededicate
ourselves to the ideas in the dem-
ocratic creed, and use our educa-
tion as politicians only know one
language that of how to get in-
to office and stay there.

Ideas are reflected in the be-
havior patterns of Americans, he
said. Then he asked, "How many
of you are willing to go back home
and live in the status quo?" Na-
tionalism is now coming to the
forefront because people the world
over are thinking in terms of na-
tional solidarity. Dr. Boyd added.

He challenged the students to
become, familiar with or more fa-
miliar with the power structure
of American society. We must
realize the importance of the bal-
let, he dclared.

DR. LOCKE
ELECTED

The election of Dr. Alan Locke,
professor of Philosophy at Howard
University, as a member of the
editorial board of "The American
Scholar" is a fine type of recog-
nition of the work in scholarship
and the fine arts of a distinguish-
ed man of letters. "The American
Scholar" is a liberal quarterly
published by Phi Beta Kappa,
with a working editorial board of
twelve nationally-known persons,
who are nominated by the senate
of the fraternity.

Dr. Locke and Professor Arthur
Shlessinger, Jr., of Harvard Uni-
versity, were the two new mem-
bers of the board elected this year.

Major Hopkins

Major T. J. Hopkins, command-
ing officer, 35st organized reserve
composite group, United States
Army, was the principal speaker
at the Georgia State College Vet-
erans club sponsored a special
chapel program as it marked its
first observance of Army day,
Tuesday, April 5.

He told the capacity audience
assembled in Meldrim auditorium
that although the army is for war,
its primary purpose is to shorten a
necessary war. He added, ". , . we
must think in terms of our secur-
ity. We must protect ourselves . ."

Major Hopkins, a local engineer-
ing contractor, graduated from the
Georgia State College high school
department. He was introduced
by the Rev.Ernest W. Armstrong,
college chaplain, and captain

E C Point System
Installed at
Georgia State

By William P. McLemore

A new system was introduced to
the students Tuesday, March 29,
in Meldrim auditorium. The pur-
pose of the point system is to
stimulate more interest and par-
ticipation in extra-class activities,
and to develop and maintain high
standard.

All organizations for which
points will be accredited must be
bonafied college organizations ami
must be registered with the Per-
sonnel Department. Once each
quarter of the academic year, each
participating organization will re-
port its program and plans to the
Personnel Department. Organiza-
tions not functioning will be dis-
banded. Sponsors of organizations
wilt require full attendance and
participation in order that a stu-
dent may earn points.

New students and those with
averages between 1 and 1.9 will
be permitted to carry a load of 2
extra-class activities. This is in
addition to membership in a class.
Students on Scholastic probation
will be permitted to carry a load
of 1 extra-class activity. Not more
than 60% of the points counted
for recognition may be earned in
one type of activity.

The record of student participa-
tion in extra-class activities will
be maintained on a special form
for such record and will be kept
in the Personnel Department. This
record will be maintained as part
of the permanent student record.

Sponsors of organization will
make their various reports of pro-
grams and students participating
to the Personnel Department on a
special form designed for this
purpose.

When students have earned 18
points in extra-class activities
such participation will be recogniz-
ed by presentation of a certificate
achievement. When students have
earned 26 points in extra-class ac-
tivities, such participation will be
recognized by presentation of The
College Award. (This award will
be either a charm or a key which
can be worn on a necklace chain
or what chain.) A Special Chapel
program will be held when awards
are made. All points will be
awarded by the year for partici-
pation. ,

The points will be awarded for
participation as follows : ( Clubs

There wil lbe THREE SESSIONS
HELD THAT D"AY:

10 A.M. Session Small groups
and ensembled (this will include
all solo participants, girls' or boys'
glee clubs, 'trios, quartettes, sex-
tettes, piano numbers.)

County High School, Sylvania.

The discussion centered around
several items including ;

1. Setting a definite date for
the Festival.

Selecting two numbers to be
used by the massed groups.

12 A.M. Noon Rehearsal of
masses chorus (composed of all

S. A. T. B. choirs and choruses
and rehearsal of massed band.
Lunch for all groups.

2:00 P.M. Session Georgia

al groups, (bands, ensembled and
solos). Outdoor demonstrations by
ull bands immediately following
inside session.

f7:30 P.M. Session Large
Choral groups (S. A. T. B.) mass-
ed groups (band, choral, and band

SELECTION OF NUMBERS:

10 A.M. Session Three num
bers from a school was agreed
upon as the limit. Because of the
number of schools expected to par-
ticipate it was thought that thi:
would be enough numbers since ;
program could run unreasonably
long if no limit was established.
(Example: if you had a male quar-
tette, a piano solo and vocalist,
that would constitute the limit;
if you had two glee clubs and a
vocalist, that would also constitute
the limit.)

However, a school does not have
to present three numbers. Maybe
you have one good number two
good numbers for the morning

SPORTS AT GA. STATE

G.I.A.A. HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT
HELD AT GA. STATE

Martha Rawls

Chuck's
Corner

In a previous issue of the Tigers
Roar I wrote about our students
*ehool spirit and sportsmanship. I
said that we should fight for our
team and that we should always
be behind the team whether it wins
or loses, I didn't say however that
if they should lose we should de-
stroy the property of the other
team to show that we love our
team. That is carrying the school
spirit too far, in fact that isn't
school spirit at all. That type of
thing is more in line with city
hoodlum tactics which has no place
on r. college campus.

Mr. Charles "Chuck" Smith III,
Director of Publications at GSC
gave our track stars some real
competition, Saturday, April 9, in
the men's day festivities when he
beat Enoch Roberts in the 220 and
came in second in the 100 yard
dash.

I believe that scholarships
should be given to those athletes
who are worthy and who have
shown their worth on the gridiron
or hard wood or cinder path. I
don't see why some stumble-bum
is given a scholarship to sit on
the bench while an obvious asset
to the team gets nothing.

I say this because I have seen
cases where varsity men, have re-
ceived no remunerations while
sixty minute bench men get the
gold.

How does a situation like this
affect us and our school? Well in
the first place it creates disfavor
of students involved towards the
coaches and the entire school.
Secondly, it might cause the
school the loss of these valuable
players to other schools, our rivals,
who can offer them those things
denied them here.

I hate to admit it but if "Chuck"
had been in condition our boys
would have made a very poor
showing by coming in with cin
dera in their eyes in every start
that "Chuck" participated,

"Chuck" is no beginner in the
game of sports. His name is writ-
ten in the annals of Tennessee
State College where he participat-
ed in track for four years and
was outstanding on the hard wood
and tennis court.

Mr. Smith participation in the
men's day festival not only shows
that he is a great track man but
also exemplifies the aim, of the
"Tiger's Roar," to bring about
closer and better relations between
the faculty and students.

Men's Day

The second annua] Men's Day
festival was presented by the men
of Georgia State College on April
10th, on the Georgia State College
athletic field and Adam's Hall.

The festivities of the day got
off to a lively start with a soft-
ball game being staged on the
new athletic field by the Arte and
Science' representative team ver-
sus 'the (team representing the
Trades and Industries department.
The hurlers for the respective
teams were Kennith Hawkins and

Yearby Webb. The Arts and
Sciences team won an easy 7 to 4
victory over the opposing team.
However Webb was accredited as
having the best brand of pitching.

The second event to be staged
was the high jump contest which
gave Cecil Davis, Trades and In-
dustries representative, the win-
ning title, Davis jumped 5' 10".

The Track Meets highlighted the
outdoor entertainment and dis-
played a number of developing
talents in this field. The Track
Meets included the following dist-
ance runs: the one-hundred yard
dash was won by Enoch Roberts,
time : 10.9, a representative of
the Arts and Sciences. Charles
Smith for the Faculty came in sec-
ond. Winners of the one-mile run,
Frank Prince first place, 5' 31",
Enoch Roberts, second. Winners
of the 440 dash, Frank Prince
first place, 58.8 seconds, Enoch
Roberts second place. Winners of
the 220 dash Charles Smith,
Faculty, 20.9 seconds, Walter
Trice. Winner of the 440 relay
Frank Prince of the second relay
team.

Participants in the discus throw
were Kenneth Hawkins represent-
ing Arts and Sciences and Thomas
Turner, Physical Education,
Hawkins threw the discus 99.2
feet to claim the victory, Turner
trailed by 95.4 feet.

The broad jump was the most
amusing feature of the hour with
each jumper getting three trials
for the grand award. Again Cecil
Davis chalked up the high point
for Trades and Industry with a
leap of 18' 11". Clarence Pogue of
Arts and Sciences won second place
with 18' 5".

As a whole everyone exhibited
a spirit of excitement cheering the
various athletes as they fought so
valiantly for the medals that were
awarded to first and second place
winners.

Let us congratulate the college
coaches for their very impartial
judgment, also we'd like to honor
the planning committee for its fine
direotorship of these events.

Georgia State College Tigers
were downed by the Bethune Cook-
man cagers in the finals of the
Southeastern Athletic Conference
tournament in Wilcox gymnasium
Saturday night, March 5, by a
score of 46-42.

The- Claflin University girls
opped their tournament crown by
edging out a close 24-23 win over
the girls from Bethune.

GSC girls, who were expected
to keep the cup at home for their
second consecutive year, failed to
win a single game in the tourna-
ment. They lost to Albany State
19-17 and to the Bethune girls 24-
22 in the round robin eliminations.

The Bethune cagers came into
the finals after cruising by Albany
State College 43-36 and Florida
Norman 59-47.

State took an easy 69-30 win
over Morris College of Sumpter, S.
C, and edged out a 38-36 win over
Claflin College of Orangeburg, S
C. to put them in the finals.

BC in taking the SEAC tourna-
ment crown for its second consecu-
tive year, took an early lead and
kept it throughout the game
against State. Bethune held
ten point advantage at the end of
the first half as they stood out in
front 26-16. The end of the third
stanza found State trailing by the
same margin as the score went
into the books at 27-37.

In the final quarter State nar-
rowed Bethunes lead to 39-36 and
it looked like the Tigers of Geor-
gia would get their revenge for
last years defeat at the hands of
BC in the SEAC finals out the
spurt bogged down and Bethune
pulled ahead to win easily. Final
score Georgia State 36, Bethune
Cookman College 44.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Who Had Best
Basketball Team?

lam

By

"Stretch" Savery

Very often during the past
basketball season the question
arose as to which team was the
best in the nation. It was general-
ly accepted in college circles that
Kentucky was better, however,
some fans voiced their opinion to-
ward St. Louis and Oklahoma.

Among the professional teams,
which are composed of the best
basketballers that ever hit the hard
wood, some would probably choose
the Chicago Staggs, The Philadel-
phia Warriors or maybe George
Mikan and his Minneapolis Lakers
as being the tops. There is one
bronze five from Chicago who are
ao very often over-looked. They
are none other than the famous
Harlem Globetrotters.

In a recent game, before the
largest crowd ever to witness a
professional game, the trotters de-
feated the Minneapolis Lakers to
the tune of 49-45. The score does
not denote the ease by which they
won for rather than trying to run
the score up. the famous five from
the "Windy" choose to give the
twenty thousand fans the show
they all expected to see. Paced
their center, six foot seven inch
"Sweet-water" Clifton, a
"Goose" Tatum, the Globetrotters
displayed the brand of ball which
made them famous.

This game gave evidence that
the Globetrotters, who were up
against some of the best competi
tion in the nation, should be rated
among the top teams if not the
best.

Scenes From Men's Day Festival

SECA Announces
Suspension

As a result of a recent meeting
of the Executive Committee of the
Southeastern Athletic conference
at Georgia State College it has
been announced that:

1. Florida Normal and Indus-
trial College (St. Augustine) was
suspended beginning March 7, 1949
to December 9, 1949 for the il-
legal use of football players dur-
ing the 1948 season.

2. Bethune Cookman has been
warned that in the future it must
use athletic officials certified by
the SEAC.

3. No football championship
will be awarded for the 1948 sea-
son because of irregularities of the
two top teams (Bethune and Flor-
ida Normal).

At the same time Ted A. Wright,
Sr., SEAC publicity director dis-
closed that five conference schools
plan to field baseball teams this
spring, that for the first time a
conference track meet will be held
with Claflin University a B the
host, that all member schools have
agreed to "foster" girls basketball
and that an all-conference team
of thirty eight players instead of
the usual squad of 22 has been se-
lected.

Who?

Who is the mysterious Mr. ABC
who will be on the campus for
one week this month? Why will he
be here? His name can not be
diverged but he will be here to
find out just who has gone the
good old ABC way. (ALWAYS
BUY CHESTERFIELD). S6 be on
the lookout for him and have that
pack of CHESTERFIELD handy
because those persons found with
a pack of the Cigarettes that
satisfy will be rewarded. So be
on the lookout and ABC.

With the expansion of every phase in Georgia State
Colleges' extra-curricular activities has come the expansion
of the basketball schedule.

The past season has seen our teams meet such teams
as Hampton Institute, Morehouse and Florida A&M and
Coach Theodore A. Wright says that this is only the be-
ginning.

Fashion Show

(Special to the Tiger's Roar)
Frank Prince, the half-mile

champion of Panama, who enrolled
in Georgia State College last fall,
made his American track debut
last Saturday in the Alabama
State Relays in Montgomery by
winning his speciality in 2:01.

Although his time was slow
Prince was never pushed and was
held "back by Coach Ted A. Wright
because he still had to run the
anchor leg on two relays. Coach
Wright took a seven man squad
to the meet and scored 10 points.

Men making the trip included
Bunky Wright, C. P. Harris,
Enoch Roberts, Joseph Turner,
Clarence Smith, Clarence Davis
and Prince.

Nut only was this the first track
met of the season by the fellows,
but it was the first that some of
them had ever participated in.

They were greatly handicapped
by lack of practice and the con-
dition of the GSC track. However,
this did not keep the local team
from winning the sprint medley
in 3:38.24. Running in this race
were Turner, 440; Roberts, and
Wright, 220, and Prince 880. The
Panama flash was unofficially
clocked in 1:55 for his leg which
is an indication of what he can
do.

Harris qualified in the 440 trials
during the morning but was
scratched by Coach Wright because
he had to run a leg on each of
two relays. Wright broad jumped
23 feet, two inches but scratched
the takeoff. However, he won
fifth place in the javalin by toss-
ing the spear 147 feet without
any previous practice. He has
thrown it 167 feet. Smith failed
to place in the high jump and
went out at five feet, six inches.
Turner, Harris, Roberts and Prince
ocmopsed the mile relay team.

Left to right: Byrd, Marion Thorpe, Olga Bynes, Roberts, Martha
Dixon.

GSC Has Wayne
County Day

The Senior Class along with
other members of the Wayne Coun-
ty Training School gave a pro-
gram in the Georgia State Col-
lege Chapel on April 20, and that
day was named "Wayne County
Day" which will be celebrated
every year. The Program was spon-
sored by the Public Relation De-
partment under the Direction of

r. Wilton C. Scott.

Students of the Wayne County
Training School presented a most

The most outstanding numbers
consisted of two saxophone solos
by Mr. Louis Murphy of which
"Star Dust," captured a tremul-
lous applause. He pluyed with the
superb skill of professional.

Another stardom destined pro-
ducts of the school was Miss Ruth
Darden the sparkling personality
who offered her version of "You
Call It Madness." The audience
liked her so well until she offered
for an anchore "I Don't Care Who
Knows."

It was learned that Miss Darden
in all her appearances has merited
repeat performances. She is a good

Business Institute
Week Recognized

By Paul L. Howard

Business Institute week began at
Georgia State College Wednesday
April 13, Mr. Fred Bryant,
President of the Business Club
and Mr. Robert Charles Long, Sr. :
Chairman Department of Busi-
ness officiated in the morning ses-
sion in Meldrim Auditorium. Mr.
Long used for his topic "The Busi-
ness Institute." He told his list-
ening audience that the adminis-
tration of Georgia State College
has planned to equip the Business
Department with the modern types
of machinery. He said that the
business department is training
students to become better fitted
in this society as business women
and men.

At 10:15 on the same day Mr.
F. Franklin Carr Professor of
Accounting, and a graduate of
New York University brought to
the Business Department one of
Savannah's most outstanding busi-
ness men, Mr. Sidney A. Jones,
Sr. i Mr. Sidney A. Jones spoke on

the subject "Business and the Com
munity."

The successful business man de-
clared "If a business is organized
and set up in a community and
does not serve the Community as
an asset the business is not worth
while." He claimed that most
business men and fellow citizens
of Savannah'have called his success
luck but it is untrue. The great
Artist said that the work, the suf-
fering, and the equalization of so-
ciety that he was neglected in
making his business expand prog-
ress is not luck.

The climax of Mr. Jones' speech
thrilled the audience with bursting
smiles.

In a panel discussion, "Is Busi-
ness Education Meeting the Needs
of Business" answered to the nega-
tive.

The group was composed of Mr.
T. J. Hopkins, Mr. Walter A. Bog-
Mr. Edward B. Law, Mme.
Cargo, Mr. P. D. Davis, Jr. and
the Chairman of the business de-
partment, Mr. R. C. Long.

Mr. Edward Low, District Man-
ager of the Atlanta Life Insurance
as quoted as saying, "We are
i-imarily interested in employing

people in this business, but ..
prefer folk who can type and take
dictation."

Mme. Cargo, Director, Cargo
Beauty School, presented the argu-
ment that she finds her employees
in dire need of communication
skills, ability to transmit and re-
ceive ideas and orders.

Mr. Walter A. Bogan, propriet
or, Bogan's Confectionery, pre-
sented the small business-men's
side of the picture. His observa-
tion is that small businesses are
poorly managered, often overlap-
ing and do not fit the need of i
community. His solution is that
Business Education should include
actual surveys made by -students
of local businesses.

Mr. T. J. Hopkin, proprietor,
Hopkin's Electrical Appliance
Company, took the attitude that
the scope of business education
hould be broadened. He expressed
need for a versatile secretary who
could efficiently serve in many
capacities of secretarial work.

Mr. Daves summarized the com-
ment in this manner. "We are gen-
erally failing and the training
program needs to be examined.

MAY, 1949

We should emphasize versatility
communication, skill and the abil-
ity to give directions.

Who Is a Good
Student?

Frequently someone raises a question
about teachers. Very often lite que*'
lion is 1- Mr. Hughes or Miss Lotson

a good leaeher?" It is difficult lo
answer this question in terms ihat will
mean the same thing lo both of the
parties in the- conversation. This same
question is equally difficult when it is
posed concerning students.

In the minds of many people raising
such a question about students, the in-
dividual finds usually one general con-
cept. Tins concept generally includes
tile number of A*S and B's made |iy tile
student. Beyond that point, there is
little to indicate what the student is
like. There is certainly a need to
broaden this concept of the good stu-
dent. When one considers the large
number of successful men and women
who have completed college without a
record which shows predominantly A's
and B's. one finds it necessary to alter
the good student concept. The grades
A and B are important, but they do
not serve a? a complete index to the
general nature of the student. In fact,
such grades are relative to a number of
factors such as the instructor who
teaches the course, the scholarship
standards of the institution in which
a student is enrolled, the marking sys-
tem of the institution, and the quality
of student enrolled. Certainly, all of
these factors are important anil should
be given full consideration when an-
swering this question about any student.

Over and beyond the foregoing fac-
tors, the concept of a good student
should include such characteristics as
the following: \jfi ) initiative, (2) abil-
ity to show evidence of planning, (31
developing emotional maturity, 4) and
an increasing awareness of the major
happenings and issues of the present
world.

The student who never makes a con-
tribution except when it is required
of him lacks an important factor need-
ed in present-day living. The world
needs students who will be able to see
that something needs lo be done and
do it. It is overloaded with individuals
who recognize inadequacies but offer

This highly versatile group thrilled
the College audience with its interpre-

President- Payne
Receives Bouquet
For Flower Week

President William K. Payne dis-
played a beautilul bouquet of flowers
during the upperclas-man assembly pro-
gram on Tuesday, October 30, which
was sent to him by Oelschig Florist of
Savannah, Georgia. The flowers were
sent lo lite College head in commemora-
tion of National Flower Week. The
bouquet consisted of yellow chrysan-
themums with a spray of green fern and
autumn leaves and was beautifully ar-
ranged in a white basket. The floral
trihule was admired and appreciated
by the entire student and faculty
diencc.

no solutions nor feel any responsihil
lies beyond that of discovery.

It i> nol easy to conceive of a good

student who does not show evidences
of ability to plan. The spread and de-
velopment of democracy in our country
and the world are conditioned by the
degree to which ihe population in gen-
eral exercises individually this particu-
lar ability. At all levels of educalion,
learning how to plan should be con-
sidered as a major part of educalion.

fn the characteristic which we often
designate as emotion maturity, one looks
lo lind an individual who can respond
normally and in a wholesome man net
to the social situations in which lit
find- himself. Although a very diffi-
cult term lo define, emotional maturity
can he measured and evaluated. It
should he one of the major goals or
purposes of education. Its presen
in individuals of all grades of schol
ship is enhancing.

Finally, it is impossible to think of
a good student who is not aware of
the fact that he lives in the alomic
age and a confused world. Signs of
awareness lo present-day problem- and
issues are characteristic of student- who
may be put into Ihe classification of
the good student. The colleges and
universities, although set aside in spe-
ific localities, arc, whether by choice
t circumstances, a part of a troubled
nd changing world. No student can
he judged good who tloes not keep
abreast of the developments which are
iking place from day to day.

There has been no attempt here to
ike from ihe students who make A's
and B's any glory. Bui, on the olher
hand, effort has been made to stress
the oilier factors frcquenlly neglected
when a good student i- considered. In
addilion, attention has been called to
the fact that students making grades
w B may show these characteristics
come to be included in the con-
cept of a good student.

The Dean's
Message

lie gravity of ihe present world
crisis is the measure of your oppor-
tunity. Those fortunate men who re-
main in college have an opportunity
to attain scholastic averages which will
permit them to finish college. All stu-
dents, both men and women, today,
have upon graduation employment pros-
pects which did not exist yeslerday.

You may now work, if qualified, in
governmental foreign service. You may,
f qualified, now work on a variety of
scientific research projects. You may,
f qualified, now enter new fields of
nduslry, manufacture and sales dis-
tribution. Opport unities in loiters ami
e art beckon still as always.

The gateway lo slardom in competi-
tive sports is wide open. The church,
o, invites the devoted soul lo larger

In shorl. the plums of opportunity
are ripe (or competent bunds and dedi-
caled hearls. May every student of
Savannah Slule College have imagina-
tion to sec meaningful goals, energy
and patience to endure preparation,
and determination to achieve.

three important ways in which we can

This sort of psychological atmosphere

a vocation in our state has insinuated
itself into und upon all areas touching

it becomes apparent in the attitude ol

A familiar statement of upperclass-

Foreniost among these demand.-, as
is already apparent, is first, lhal per-
sons now employed who expect to be
retained in the system must meet ac-
ceptable standards of qualification.
Next, any persons seeking admission
to ihe profession must nun the stand-
ards prior to being considered for em-
ployment. In sborl, the days ol the
inssuance of the provisional certifi-
cate are numbered.

In this connection, tin- college, with
stale certification authorities cooperat-
ing has spent considerable lime and
effort in the development of definite
curricula looking toward preparing
teachers for instruction in specific
areas, fn such a system, it is con-
ceived, the "in case teacher" will have
a difficult time simply taking "some
educalion" and acquiring adequate
preparalion for the profession.

It is Ihe design of the college lhal

cation curricula shall have done so by

plan will he automatic upon completion

It is also true lhal in ihe days prior
lo M.F.P. low standards of achieve-
ment and excellence accompanied low
scholastic and professional standards.
In short, employing agencies and ad-
ministrators have tolerated ineompe-
lenee and inefficiency as eoncomilanls

tion was commensurate.

eligible for compensation which ap-
proaches a level of respectability com-
parable to that of other professions-
carelessness, shifllessness and slovenly

Students of the Month

Quattlebaum
Re-elected

"Congratulations" Mr. Quattlebaum,
for you have been re-elected as president
another year. You are quite an asset
lo the group. You have proven your-
self lo be a wonderful leader. Through-
out your high school career, you have
retained the presidency above others.
You have served faithfully and willing-
ly. We admire you! We honor you!
Keep up the good work.

During your high school days you
received several awards, such as citizen-
ship, journalism, administrative and
dramatic. Here at Savannah State, you
have been an inspiration lo many an
inspiration to them as a loyal, punctual
and willing leader. Your presence here
has meant much. We are proud to
have you. Mr. Quattlebaum. as president
of the senior class.

May I leave with you, as you con-
tinue through life, a verse taken from
Longfellow's "Psalm of Life":
"Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us,
Footprint on the sands of lime."

Waco, Tex. </./*.) Baylor Univer-
sity is offering for young women stu-
dents this fall what is believed to be the
nation's first collegiate course in "hu-
man relations." President W. R. White
announced here that the program is
planned to "present factors which will
contribute lo the balanced life of the
college young woman." Attention will
be given lo areas of health, manners,
ethics, group and family relationships,
and personality development.

Eddie T. Lindsey. scholarly senioi
won recognition as Student - of - the
Month because of bis unusual academi
record and for his outstanding cor
tribulions in extra-class activities.

The ambitious native of Columbus
Georgia, is al present Editor of the
1952 Yearbook, president of the
dent Council, and president of Delia
Eta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fra-
ternity. His winning personality and
brilliant mini! have won him the ad-
miration of his fellow students and the
College family.

A senior English major. Lindsey was
in honor graduate of Spencer High
School. Coin mb its, ami has maintained
in almost consecutive lisling on
coveted Dean's list. He was the
cipient of the Press Club Award and
he College Award for his distinguished
ind consistent participation in College
activities.

His bobbies include dancing and
reading. Lindsey believes that a well-
rounded life means a life of progressive
ind fruiiful living. Perhaps the great-
st achievement of Lindsey 's college
eareer was his winning of the presi-
dency of the Student Council, which
bespoke the fail h that bis colleagues
hold in his ability and integrity.

Lindsey was at one time a Junior
Deacon of the First African Baptist
Church of Columbus. He also served
i- an a>-istanl Sunday School teacher.

The amiable high school valedic-
orian possesses most of the qualities of
i great man who will write many glow-
ng words of progress and humani-
arianism on the pages of history,
scholarship, dignity, faith, integrity
hese words help to portray one of
SSC's most colorful and best loved
ludenls. Surely, Eddie T. Lindsey is
in outstanding example of an Ameri-
can College Student.

"Students should become well-round-
kI individuals through formal and in-
formal training before considering
hemselves well educated. Book learn-
ing is only twenty-five per cent of the
jame, your ability to apply what you
Itnow eonstitules the oilier seventy-five
per cent," according to the philosophy
>f Raymond Knighl who is "Student of
(he Month" for October. The son of
Mr. and Mrs. Issue Knighl of 705 W.
Waldbure Street, Savannah. Knighl is
entering his junior year al Savannah
State College and a second lerm as
class president. He is one of the Col-
lege's mosl promising young men, hav-
ing proved himself proficient in
cholurship and student leadership abil-
ity.

An accounting major with an am-
bition to become, in his own words,
a Certified Public Accountant tC.P.A.)
sometime in the future, Knight has
maintained 2.80 average since entering
Savannah State in 1949 having been

osen validiclorian of his class.

A native of Manatee, Florida, he re-
ived his early schooling in the state

mer Beacb-Cuyler High School after
earning to Savannah al un early age.
While attending Beach he received
honorable mention for a citizenship
award; served as president of the Stu-
dent Council and held numerous oilier
executive positions in sluilent organi-
zations.

With a knack for curl replies and

constructive thinking. Knight says he
came lo Saioilnah Male to gain an
adequate crlm-ation. Proof of his desire
came when he was listed on the Honor
Roll <luring his Freshman year. He he-
came president of bis class during his
second year. Chairman of the Student
Loan Association, business manager of
the Savannah Slate TIGER, College
yearbook publication, and an affiliate
of numerous student and College ac-
tivities.

Greekdom called and Raymond
Knight answered by joining the Alpha
Phi Alpha fraternity as a College soph-
Having exhibited unusual executive
talents, devotion lo bis school and
having fostered good student-public re-
lationship during his sophomore year
Knighl was re-elected president of the
junior class and business manager of
the Tiger. He also joined the Tiger's
Roar staff. Serving in the latter ca-
pacity he has organized [he most ac-
tive business staff the student publica-
tion has ever known. He also is a
member of the Collegiate Counselors.

In the meantime his scholastic aver-
age soared lo the point thai the name
of Raymond Knight is a feature of the
"Dean's List."

A Methodist by faith. Knighl claim?
membership in the St. Philip A.M.E.
Church, Rev. J. S. Bryant, pastor, of
Savannah.

Carrying out his belief in well-round-
edness the "Student of the Month" has

sports enthusiast.

Professor J. Randolph Fisher, chair-
man of the department of Languages
and Literature, chose Knight as a mem-
ber of ihe student recruitment team

Student Loan
Assn. Organizes

It is amazing how many students are
inaware of the fact that a Siudenl
Loan Association operates on the
ampus. This Association was organ-
mi on October 19, 1949, for the pur-
poses of rendering financial aid lo ihe
iludent body; furnishing profitable in-
/estmcnl for sludenls; and familiarizing
Undents in the Business Department
villi the techniques of organizing and
operating successful business enter-

Until the current year, al! fund- used
for the operalion of this organization
were secured through the sale of stock
o members of the studenl body. Thif
ycar, ihe Campus Chest loaned funds
'.c- the Studenl Loan Association for
he purpose of beginning operation.
However, stock in ihe organization may
nil be purchased from the Book Store
by students who desire a wise invest-

At the end of each year, all profits
made are distributed among the stock-
holders. In addition, stockholders re-
ceive their original investment. For the
past two years, the average profit made
bos been twenty per cent on the origi-

it investment.

During the pasl year, 170 loans over-
aging SI I each were secured by stu-
dents for various purposes. During
the first month of operation ibis year,
over 30 loans have been made by the
Association.

A Student Looks at

Religious Life at SSC

By Dorothy M. Bess

Most of the students of Savannah
Stale College will agree that religious
services ploy an important pari in mold-
ing characler and developing a whole-
some personality. Even though we arc
aware of these facts, many of us are
not aroused by them.

We as college students have definite
goals in view. If we are to achieve
these goals, we cannot afford to forget
the main factor which will help us
most loward cslablishing a firm de-
termination Inward achievement. This
factor is none other than that of re-
ligion.

Religious services are those which
should be cherished by every individual.
Without them, our lives would be in-
complete. If we would be successful
in our daily endeavors, we must con-
stantly strive to adhere to those re-
ligious principles which are essential
to a happy life.

Religious services are held weekly
on the College campus. They are held
mainly for the students. There are
many ibings which will inevitably help
us in everyday life if we faithfully ad-
here lo them. By following these re-
ligious principles we will he better
qualified to meet the challenges and
adversities of ibis day and age.

Religious services will prove especial-
ly helpful in aiding the freshmen to
adjust themselves morally and spiritual-
ly. Uppcrclassmen will find them of
great assistance in helping lo point up
an area which is too often neglected.
Let ns make an early beginning in order
that we may look forward to a betler

It's really the Monday morning quarterback that needs lo be deemphasized.

Many a business man thinks the way to get order out of chaos is lo get plenty
of orders.

Rip Van Winkle couldn't sleep for 20 years nowadays. He would ha
bombed.

Utilizing Our Minds

As college men and women and potential leaders of tomorrow, we are too
prone to be aimless, wild little regard for those things which are of educalional
as well as cultural value lo us.

Let us place ourselves in I lie position of some of our guest speakers who
come to us from time lo lime to share with us some o( their varied experiences.
No speaker can be any greater than his audience will allow him to be. Colleagues,
our cooperation is needed.

Focus in your minds one moment our reactions as far as being intelligent
and attentive listeners is concerned. We are not attentive and we lack that degree
of control which characterizes and identifies college students. Let us be aware
that the first impression, in many instances, is a lasting one and the impression
our speakers get of us will not only characterize us now, but also in years to
come. Patterns do not change in a day; on the other hand, they usually persist.
The strength of a school lies not in the beauty of its buildings, but in the char-
acter and intellect of ils students

The writer who remarked that "We recognize slars only when they shine,"
certainly gives us cause lor reflection.

Are You Making Each Minute Count?

The bund ol fate is writing each minute as we experience our most
period in world history, and the quality ol your performance now will di
your future destiny. Fate has caused many youth lo be inducted into the
armed sen-ices. Therefore, those ol us who share the golden privilege of grasp-
ing a pen insiead ol a gun must realize the importance of making each minute
count.

Our minds mu-t turn aside from the frivolity and depravities of life lo high
standards and ideals which bring about a more meaningful exigence. In short,
our being here must have a dclinile purpose, a purpose based on a desire lo
acquire training which will help to make our community, our country, and
the world a better place in which lo live because ol our foresight, preparedness
and intelligence. Surely. "it is to he the educational institutions that one looks
for sound leaders.

Let us be mindful of our every action while in college. Can you imagine
yourself on the Korean battlefield? Imagine you are on the battlefield, a young
and ambitious person, desiring most to be in some American college instead.
Having this supposition in mind, are you still satisfied with your scholar-hip
here? Are you sure you are gelling the all-around development you need from
your present activities here? Finally, are you making each minute count every
day?

Certainly, we ought lo lake inventory of ourselves and while the term is
young, get on the "right track." Standards in all ureas of living are raising and
we must meet the challenge of new situations. It is not too late lo make wise use
of all ol your natural talents and abilities to grasp every opportunity to learn lo
get a liberal education.

So that the purpose of education to make one aide lo live the "Good Life
might be fulfilled, let us strive to make each minute count. In doing this, w
must be mindful of the wise counsel given in the first assembly for school year
1951-52 by our President in speaking on the subjeel of "College Citizenship," and
again the message of our Dean of men, William J. Hollow ay, when he spoki
about "Raising Standards." Someone once said that, "He who starts the race
late, must run faster than the re^t to win the race." We ought lo let our
thoughts entertain these truths.

Most of all. we have a life belore us lo live. We musl ihink of
curily and consequently of what we will have to offer in turn for compensations.
We are indebted lo society, our community and lo our families who. in many
cases, sacrifice lo keep us here. We must think in terms of the many aspects of
living before we waste time, money, or energy, and in so doing, you may be
discouraged nol lo procrastinate.

1 invite you lo try ibis formula. Counl the cost of a college educalion. Then
count the minutes which are passing on each day while you are here and try
to nume an accomplisbmnl or some progressive step for each of these minutes.
This is whal we mean by the queslion, "Are you making the minutes count
Arc you oeluully living a purposeful life thai will prepare you for a useful life
of service lo yourself and others, u position ol leadership in shaping a brighl
tomorrow? "Time will tell."

There's a big leap, in man's thinking,
between a dale and a mate, points out
the article, but some girls jusl won'l
recognize this (act.

The girls were in general agreement
that Ihe greatest asset in winning llie
interest of a man, especially one with
matrimonial intentions is a sunny dis-
posiliou and a sense of humor. More
important than being good looking,
the girls feel, is being neat and clean.

Moreover, advise ihe girls, always

rather than in a slicky, charm-school
way.

Critics Cheer Harvey

Here is what the New York Times
-aid about Mary Chase's hilarious
Broadway smash hit comedy "HAR-
VEY," which is being presented by the
New York Drama Guild al Mehlrim
tuditorium on December 8th tSalur-
lay>, 1951, al 8:15 p. m.: "HARVEY'
is one of the treats of the fall theatre."

John Chapman of (be New York Daily
Vers added: -HARVEY' is the most
hlightful. droll, endearing, funny ami
touching pieces of stage whimscy I
ever saw."

On stage, and on the screen, criiics,
novie and theatre goers have loved
and laughed at "HARVEY." For young,
and old, it is a journey into fantasy,
and as George Jean Nathan of the
Veic York Jonriml American said "an
evening ol intelligent laughter."

The New York Drama Guild's pro-
duction of "HARVEY" is jusi that
.i delightful, funny, and intelligent eve-
ning's entertainment.

The critics have done nothing but
laud "HARVEY," and it can all be
summed up by the New York World-
Telegram critic who said: "My ribs are
siill aching. I can't recall that 1 ever
laughed so bard so continuously at any
how as I did lu-l night ut the opening
of HARVEY.' hy Mury Chase. And
1 was in good company; the audience
os in hysterics."

for (he freshman and sophomore year,
iceording lo an announcement hv Dean

The new program is the result of a

wo-ycar study by a Special Committee
in the Educational Program of Wash-

ngton Sipiare College, It is based, Dean
Pollock explained, on the College's be-
lief thai a liberal education has as its
(unction the development of the stu-

lent'> awareness of the nature of the
world and of man's place in it and
the equipment of (he studeul to face

he problems of his own time and cul-
ture with intellectual and emotional
maturity.

Thus, he said, ihe new general pro-
gram will include among olhers courses
'n the following areas: Men and ideas
n Weslern civilization ; social science;
lalural science; English fundamentals;
literary heritage of Weslern culture; in-
troduction to fine arts or music, and
principles ol effective- ibinking.

Noting the distinctive features of the
lew program, Dean Pollock said: "In-
lead of specialized individual courses
n economics and government, ihere will

social science dealing with the rela-
1 of man to society and lo his fel-
low men, the relation of groups to each
other, the principles of social order,
social heritage, and a logical ap-
proach to current social problems.

SELECTIVE SERVICE
(Continued from Page 1)

The Congress, in the 1951 Amend-
ments to the Universal Military Train-
jig and Service Act, declared that
idequate' provision for national security
requires maximum effort in the fields
of scientific research and development
and the fullest possible utilization of
[he nation's intellectual resources; it
authorized the President lo provide for
the defcrmenl of any or all categories
of persons whose activity in study is
found to be necessary to the mainten-
ance of the national health, safely or
interest.

The criteria for deferment as a stu-
dent is either a satisfactory score (70)
on the Selective Service College Quali-
fication Test or satisfactory rank in
class (upper half of the freshman class,
upper two thirds of the sophomore
class, upper three fourths of the junior
class). Seniors accepted for admission
to a graduate school satisfy the criteria
il they stand in the upper half of their
classes, or make a score of 75 or better
on the test. Students already enrolled
in graduate schools may be deferred
-i) long as they remain in good standing.
These criteria ore guides and the local
hoards are not bound to follow them.

General Hersbey remarked today that
when the Selective Service college de-
ferment plan was first anouncd last
spring objection was heard that the
plan gave prclerred treatment to the
comparatively small number of "bright
hoys" who could afford lo go to col-
lege. He said he believed that virtually
all of the opposition on this ground has
i dissipated, since there is now a
ral understanding of the facl that
the purpose of the plan is to select
those most fitted to pursue college ed-
ucations and that a large portion of
college studenls are "working their
way through college," either partly or
wholly. He cited a recent survey made
by the United Slates Ollice of Educa-
tion which showed that fewer than 25
per cent of college students are solely-
dependent upon their parents.

"Due to Ihe facl that I have n
attended a college before, I have
particular impression of Savannah Slate
College in contrast lo olher colleges.
In contra-t with high school life, there
is no doubt that SSC is superior. I
like living on campus, for it seems so]
much like home lo me."

Solomon Green

"In telling of my impression of SSC,
it would be unfair lo begin without
mentioning first the beautiful campus.
Savannah Slate has a group of fine ad-
minisirators and facully members who
seem to hr very interested in the stu-
dent's future. They arc working hard
daily to help each student reach the
lop of the ladder of sucre-*."

When Autumn's Winds
Blow

By Nathan Dell
When Autumn's winds over the land

do blow,
And proud little cedars are bent like

And leaves from the arms of the oaks

tall.
Flame inio gold and begin lo full,
When September's rains in torrents

descend
Like liny arrows on meadows and glen.
And October's frost lies while on the

ground.
Glittering in ihe sunlight for miles

around,
Wh-n the mor Es . i, ,l

balmy and fair,
And the songs of southbound birds fill

the air.
And darkness swift as a shadow falls.
To linger in silence over us all,
When a full moon, pale and ghostly

white,
Penetrates the darkness of the chilled

Davis. Calif. {I. P.) \ College of

Lelters and Science, with four-year cur-
ricula leading to ihe Bachelor of Arts
degree, has been established on the
Davis campus of the University of Cali-
fornia, according lo announcement by
C. U. Hutchison, vice president o( the
University and dean of the College of
Agriculiure.

Designed especially for high school
d junior college graduates who desire

general education in liberal arts sub-
jects, the college will offer, English.
jstory, and zoology. Two other de-
partments, mathematics and physics,
can give at least ihree yours of a major.
The fourth year in ihese Iwo fields and
otlu-r majors in the social sciences,
humanities, and arts will be added as

on as possible.

The continued development of the
College of Lelters and Science through
addition of social sciences, arts, and
unities will round out provisions for
a general liberal arts program on this
campus." In no way will they de-
emphasize the College of Agriculture,"
said Dean Hutchison. "On the contrary,
hey will furnish eleclives that will
broaden ihe educational experiences of
students in agriculture, home econom-
and veterinary medicine," he con-
cluded.

The P. T. A. held its initial meeting
September 21, 1951 ; during this time
officers were elected. This organiza-
tion is planning a variety of activities
for the coming school year.

Mrs. D. C. Hamilton is director of
ihe "Glee Club" and we anticipate
having one of the finest clubs of this

The Glee Club will consist of members
from the upper grades of the school.

Mrs. L. Cliffin, an August graduate
of Savannah Stale College, is efficiently
conducting the fifth grade class, in the
absence of Miss M. Williams who is out
on sick have. The faculty and pupils
are wishing for her a speedy recovery.

During one of our recent faculty
meetings, Ihe necessity of an electric

SELECTIVE SERVICE

Continued from Page 5

"We are faced with an emergency
that many experts predict will lust per-
haps 10 to 20 years," General Hcrshey
said. "We must, therefore, think in
long-range terms, in developing plans
to provide an adequate supply of high-
ly skilled manpower. I believe the
country is aware that il is logical, in
deferring students in the national in-
terest, to defer those wilh demonstrated
ability, instead of gambling on those
with lower capacity."

General Hershey explained that thr'
intent of Congress was thut these stu-
denls should be deferred only until
they have completed their college train-
"Dcfermcnl" means that a regis-
trant shall have his service delayed or
postponed until he completes his edu-
calion. It is by no means an outright
exemption.

The 1951 Amendments lo the Univer-
sal Military Training and Service Act
provide that any registrant who was in

deferred classification on June 19.
1951, or who wus thereafter placed in

deferred classification shall remain
liable for training and service until
be reaches the age of 35. Therefore,
any registrant deferred now as a stu-
dent will be required, if physically fit,
to serve Iwo years in the armed forces

center, the Tigers scored again during
the last moments of the initial period.

but Robert Slocum galloped over from
the 10 for the touchdown. "Sixty-
minute-man" Harris again converted.

SSC's Co-ed Voices
Opinion on Changing
Name of New York's
Seventh Avenue

Delores Perry, a freshman coed of
Savannah State College, had a very
interesting experience during a sum-
mer vacation in the Empire City. While
strolling through the streets of the
same, she was asked to voice her opin-
ion on changing the name of "7th
Ave." lo "Carver Boulevard." He re-
ply as slated in the New York Amster-
dam News was: "Even sounds better,
'Carver Boulevard.' I'm (or it one hun-
dred per cent. Certainly a name like
lhat would sound more important than
a plain old number. Could also be
way to familiarize children with the
famous man."

Miss Perry, since becoming a part
of SSC's family, has displayed
markable brilliance in academic
achievements and has also affiliated
herself with the school hand under tin
direclion of Professor L. A. Pyke.

Cambridge, Mass. (/. P.) Harvard
College's curriculum does not present

ligion as effectively or comprehen-
vcly as it might, according to Dean
Willard L. Sperry, head of the Harvard
University Divinity School.

It is unfortunate," Dean Sperry de-
clared, "lhat some students come to
College unaware of religion and leave
without being awakened."

Any man who brings an interest in
eligion to Harvard, he said, "will have
lo hunt for his religious instruction
and inspiration, for they will not be
handed to him.

Snnir- cd I he criticism of the Col
lege'- program. Dean Sperry added,
stems from denominational groups which
have faib-d lo instruct (heir own n
bers properly before they conn- to
lege.

He suggested lhat formation oF small
inler-racial discussion group- a- a way
to luster religious under-landing would
he of value, anil fell that faculty mem-
ber- would be glad lo help such groups.

It was pointed out here lhat Dr.
Ernest C. Colwell, who recently r< -igned
a? pre-ideni of the University of Chi-
cago to joint the faculty of Emory
University as a visiting professor for the
1951-52 academic year, called univ
lies aloof to religion. Dr. Colwell

"one of indifference or carefully-
trolled neutrality."

SSC Celebrates
Homecoming

Once again the faculty and studenl
body of Savannah Slate flung wide the
gales of hospitality lo greet the alumni
and many friends of the institution at
the annual Homecoming. Amid the
fast (ailing leaves, I he "Harvest Time"
celebration got underway under the
supervision of Mr. Frank Tharpe, in-
structor in the Department of Trades
and Industries, and alumnus of the
College.

ly Miss Mary Ford as "Miss SSC," the
beautifully decorated buildings, I h e

on the campus of the University of
Minnesota, reprcscnlativcs of 51 studenl
bodies in American colleges and uni-
versities voted 36-15 in favor of the
controversial "honor system."

"An honor system should be the basis
of education; it should leach the stu-
dent how lo conduct himself, how to
develope himself, how to think ft
himself and stand on his own for win
he believes," according to Tlielma Sli
vena of the Duke University studenl
body. She believes that "an honor sys-
tem should lie the basis of an indi-
vidual's honor, self -discipline, and self-
control."

Not in favor of the honor system, Cy-
ril M. Wccht from the University of
Pittsburgh said; "I believe llie entire
idea of the honor system is vastly over-
played. Selling up a plan which is
supposedly based on personal integrity
and individual honesty will nol make
heller students."

College Park, Md. I/. P.) As col-
lege students progress in scholastic
standing, they apparently reverse their
attitudes toward religion, as indicated
by a survey conducted by Milton I).
Havron of the University of Maryland's
psychology deparlment.

The religious aspect of the study was
an ineideniat finding, as its main pur-
pose was lo determine the relationship
between a person's attitudes and his
verbal habits. Though the attitude to-
ward religion was chosen, any attitude
would have served the purpose.

While the resulls indicate a trend
away from religion as the student ad-
vances, il may also be indicative ol
meiety a trend away from fniiii.il re-
ligious expression, Havron speculates.

The Law School Administration Test
required of applicants for admission to
a number of leading American law
schools, will be given al more than
100 centers throughout the United
States on the mornings of November
17. 1951, February 23. April 26, and
August 9, 1952. During 1950-51 over
6,700 applicants look this lest, and their
scores were sent lo ninety law schools.

A candidate must make separate ap-
plication for admission to each law
school of his choice and should inquire
of each school whether it wishes him
lo lake the Law School Admission Tcsl.
Since many law schools select their
freshman classes in the spring preced-
ing their entrance, candidulcs for ad-
mission to next year's classes are ad-
vised to take cither llie November or
the February* test, if possible.

The Law School Admission Test, pre-
pared and administrated by Education-
al Testing Service, features objective
questions measuring verbal aptitudes
and reasoning ability rather than ac-
quired information. According to ETS
it cannot he "crammed" for. Sample
questions and information regarding
registration for and administration of
the test are given in a Bulletin of In-
formal ion.

Bulletins and applications for the

going to live forever: live as though
you were going to die tonight."

L)r. William K. Payne, who is also
a graduate member of Alpha Kappa
Mu. introduced the speaker for the
occasion. Mr. T. E. McKinney, dean
of Johnson C. Smith University and
director of Region 1 of AKM, was
guest speaker. Dean McKinney gave
the interesting story of the develop-
ment o( honor societies on Negro col-
lege campuses and the effect of these
societies.

Delorcs Green, senior, sang "Coro

miliary Halchett, acting chairman of
the department of fine arts, played
"Greek Dance" by Callinicos.

Dr. Elson K. Williams, director of
the division of arts and sciences and
advisor to Alpha Nu, presented the
candidates tor Alpha Kappa Mu. The
program concluded with the singing

A cumulative average of 2.3 and an
average ol sixty semester hours were
listed as minimum requirements for
membership.

An initiation will he held during >'..

persons who qualify may become m(

The organization ol the chapter
due largely to the foresight, inter)
and energetic efforts of Dr. E. K. IK
liams, who explains Alpha Kappa Mu
is interested in developing scholarship
and is open lo all Savannah State
students who maintain the required
average. Praise is also due Mr. Ben
Ingersoll and bis efficient staff who
checked the scholastic qualifications of
each candidate.

So the rains of sound scholarship and
worthy deeds still pour at SSC. The
noble circle of scholars, drawn close
by their love of the true and the beau-
tiful, will always, we trust, remain
unbroken.

Nighf Courses In

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

During the past three months, we have been enjoying, along with
a number of other SSC students, what we believe to be "A Golden
Opportunity'" We have been sharing what is known as the Student
Teacher experience. The practice of allowing prospective teachers
act as cadets in a real classroom situation for a reasonable length of
time is probably one of the most stimulating innovations in the
teacher-training program.

We certainly don't feel so keenly the value or importance of this
experience at first. We began with some misgivings and anxiety,
and viewed this as another bothersome requirement subsequent to
graduation.

What changed our opinion? While talking to a few experienced
teachers we learned that the story of this activity was quite different
a few years ago, at least so far as SSC is concerned. The story of
its blooming development is another saga in the progressive history
of our College.

As told to the writer by an alumnus, one attended college foi
the customary four years. During one quarter for one class period,
the cadet teacher spent the time observing a selected group of pupils.
For only one day of the entire period, each student spent a day in
compile charge of the class. There were no seminars, orientation
periods, or field trips such as we have today.

Needless to say. we were shocked at such a revelation and began
to evaluate seriously the program as we know it. Here we found in
a procedure most of us take for granted, "A Golden Opporunity."
We have a chance to find our weaknesses before they find us and
leave us labelled as "incompetents." We are spared the brutal lesson
of the "school of hard knocks" and the college of "trial and error."

The Student-Teacher program is "A Golden Opportunity," in
which we learn much to enrich our educational program. During
this period, opportunities are presented in a real situation and in a
natural setting so that we may perform duties and exhibit skills that
are prerequisites to success as teachers. Every day is filled with
new and revealing experiences. There is nevr a dull inomnt, for
our lives are full and creative. So are the young minds we serve.

The critic leathers are interested in our personal growth and
development as well as in our professional accomplishments. They
strive, even beyond professional duty, to provide worthwhile exper
ences. For Ihis great service they deserve high commendation.

The leaching profession is among man't greatest services to man
and it is heartening to know that Savannah State College, in step with
leading institutions of higher learning in the nation, is providing t
tencher-lraiiiing program which is outstanding.

Dr. Calvi L. Kiah, chairman of the department of education, and
Miss Donella J. Graham, coordinator of student-teaching on the
elementary school level, and their staffs, deserve high praise for their
efforts in the advance and progress of this important phase of teacher
education.

If greater opportunities urc provided in the area of education and
teacher-training, we believe Savannah Stale will be among the first
with the finest,

Editor Speaks

The significance of special day- is
emphasized in the President's Message
in the March issue ol the Southern
University Digest. President F. G.
Clark wrote: "Every great enterprise
has one great day in its historical
repetoire." He cited July 4lh in the
United Slates; Charter Day at How-
ard University; and Founder's Day at
Southern University. President Clark
staled: "In these as in all others,
these special days are sacred because
in them is symbolized the vision, hard-
ships, sacrifices and ultimate triumphs
which have taken the institution in
question from a valley of dreams to a
peak of realities."

As 1 wandered around, 1 discovered
that a new set o( tables bad been ac-
quired, giving us more room in which
lo study without disturbing others
While examining the shelves, 1 eame
aeross a new collection of novels that
should provide interesting reading for
us. Two that struck my eye were Frank
Yerby's A It'oman Called Fancy, and
Cardinal Spellman's The Foundling,

Miss Hawkins, College Librarian, lias
moved inlo her new office and is ready
to lend assistance, as always, to those
who have difficulty in (biding materials.
Five students have been assigned lo ibe

A recent survey of the use of the

Good Grooming

To be one's best self throughout the
atudcnt-leaching experience is an asset
not lo be even momentarily underesti-
mated. There is, of course, no one way
lo he one's self. Rather, there are some
iportant factors which, when out to-
gether, give you important clues not
only lo the making of a successful be-
ming in the early days of your stu-
dent leaching, hill also to your cou-
nting success as a teacher.
The following suggestions concerning
your responsibility to yourself are of-
fered to aid you in getting off to a
good start. Your management of lime,
and your personal appearance play im-
portant role* hi achieving success in

A prospective cadet teacher might use
the following as a checklist for groom-

Is my clothing clean and well

Is my clothing practical (or the kinds
of activities in which I must engage

Is my clothing suitable to my per-

What Is Our Destiny?

The question, "What is our destiny?" has been asked over and
over again, by people of all groups. Even though many of us m
think of it, we must face this question in one way or another.

If we are to survive in this atomic age, there is a role for each
of us to play in our society. It is our responsibility to utilize our
capabilities to their fullest extent.

No individual thinks seriously at all times, but our present-day
conditions require serious thought. We must remember today is but
a prelude to tomorrow. Therefore, il is better for us to begin now to
prepare ourselves for the tasks which lie ahead of us.

The Bible speaks of man's reaping what he sows. To that, I
should like lo add thai some of us sow infertile seeds, especially whet
we spend our time doing nothing. Thus, we reap nothing. There are
too many people in the world who want nothing; they just tag along.
Cuuld this he true of some of us here at Savannah State? Often
following discourses given by speakers, we hear remarks concerning
our purpose nt this institution. This leads me to wonder whether it
is a common thought that abilities and talents are developed and not
picked up by osmosis.

An institution is only as great as its constituents. This needs no
confirmation other than to say that men make institutions and we
have great potentialities with us. We ourselves must face and recognize
our destiny.

cess in his practice leaching. We say.

Dean Janie Lester constantly advocated
the development of creative expres-
sion among the students of Savannah
State."

During the past year, several worth-
while contributions of a creative na-
ture reached the Student Publication
Office, but this kind of material was
not too well suited lo newspaper edi-
tions. Sensing o great need of an out-
let that could encourage and utilize
ihe students' creative talents, Miss
Luelta B, Colvin, advisor lo student
publication, began exploring the possi-
bility of doing a magazine edition ex-
pressly for creative writing. However,
this idea remained a dream until the
advent of such a publication last month.

Sparked by the sincere rlesire for the
cultivation of creativity in expression
and thinking here al SSC, and the
kind encouragement of Dr. W. K. Payne
and others, the staff produced its firs!
Creative Writing Edition.

Miss Colvin deserves high commen-
dation for her untiring efforts and un-
common interest in the fulllillmenl of
a need and a dream envisioned by Dean
Lester, to whom the edition is dedi-

It is hoped that the Creative Writing
Edition will become an annual publi-
cation growing in scope and quality
as SSC's student body grows in ap-
preciation for self -expression. It is
hoped that it will become "an inspir-
ing tribute lo Dean Lester's high ideals
and splendid example." It is a project
born of a few minds and realized by
the concerted efforts of many minds
and influences.

We are especially appreciative lo
those aiding this endeavor and we are
sincerely grateful for the kind expres-
sions of approval to a step in the stu-
dent publication's climb lo recognition
as a leading college journal.

There is nothing like leaching.
If you like doing good deeds.

There Is Nothing Like
Teaching

By Christine Cheryl Wright
There is nothing more amusing
Than lo watch dear children grow.
There is nothing so encouraging.
And you wani to teach them more.
There is nothing in the world like

teaching.

There is nothing quite so tedious.
You keep toiling all the day.
Yet at evening on retiring
You can still find time lo say,
"There is nothing in the world like
teaching,"

True, there is nothing quite like

teaching.
It may he the job for you.
For you'll gel more satisfaction.
Than from any work you do.
'Cause there's nothing in the world

the thing? that formulate the character of our think when we commune
with the events of our yesteryears on the Savannah State College

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

During the past three months, we have been enjoying, along with
a number of other SSC students, what we beUeve to be "A Gold'
Opportunity." We have been sharing what is known as the Student-
Teacher experience. The practice of allowing prospective teachers
act as cadets in a real classroom situation for a reasonable length of
time is probably one of the most stimulating innovations in the
teacher-training program.

We certainly don't feel so keenly the value or importance of this
experience at first. We began with some misgivings and anxiety,
and viewed this as another bothersome requirement subsequent to
graduation.

What changed our opinion? While talking to a few experienced
teachers we learned that the story of this activity was quite different
a few years ago, at least so far as SSC is concerned. The story of
its blooming development is another saga in the progressive history
of our College.

As told to the writer by an alumnus, one attended college for
the customary four years. During one quarter for one class period,
the cadet teacher spent the time observing a selected group of pupils.
For only one day of the entire period, each student spent a day in
compile charge of the class. There were no seminars, orientation
periods, or field trips such as we have today.

Needless to say, we were shocked at such a revelation and began
to evaluate seriously the program as we know it. Here we found in
a procedure most of us take for granted, "A Golden Opporunity.
We have a chance to find our weaknesses before they find us and
leave us labelled as "incompetents. " We are spared the brutal lesson
of the "school of hard knocks" and the college of "trial and error."

The Student-Teacher program is "A Golden Opportunity," in
which we learn much to enrich our educational program. Durii
this period, opportunities are presented in a real situation and in
natural setting so that we may perform duties and exhibit skills that
are prerequisites to success as teachers. Every day is filled with
new and revealing experiences. There is nevr a dull nionint, for
our lives are full and creative. So are the young minds we serve.

The critic teachers are interested in our personal growth and
development as well as in our professional accomplishments. They
strive, even beyond professional duly, to provide worthwhile experi-
ences. For this great service they deserve high commendation.

The leaching profession is among man't greatest services to man
and it is heartening lo know that Savaunuh State College, in step with
leading institutions of higher learning in the nation, is providing a
teacher-training program which is outstanding.

Dr. Calvi L. Kiah, chairman of the department of education, and
Miss Donella J. Graham, coordinator of student-teaching on the
elementary school level, and their slaffs, deserve high praise for their
efforts in the advance and progress of this important phase of teacher
education.

If greater opportunities are provided in the areu of education and
tcacher-lrainiug. we believe Savannah State will he among the first

The significant of special .lays
iphasizcd in the President's Message
in the March issue of the Southern
University Digest. President F. G.
Clark wrote: "Every great enterprise
has one great day in its historical
repetoire." He cited July 4th in the
Juried Slates; Charter Day at How-
ard University; and Founder's Day al
Southern University. President Clark
staled: "In these as in all others,
these special days are sacred because
in them is symbolized the vision, bard-
ships, sacrifices and ultimate triumphs
which have laken the institution in
question from a valley of dreams to a
peak of realities."

Virginia State College, Petersburg,
"Then so he it, students, that in
minds arc mines to be axcavated for
the riches that are latent there. The
quality of what we use, and how we
use it in our mining will be great de-
terminers of the quality of our finished
products. No place on earth can give
us a better foundation for the develop-
ment of our mining techniques than
Ibis school of mining at which we are
now students. The gold which we may
later yield to the world is in the ore
which we are now learning lo refine.
Let us, then, learn our art well, and
apply it so well that our gold will
glory for years to come."

A Tiger Rambles in the
Library

By Curti- P. Harris

While browsing around in the Library

"in- afternoon, I decided that I would

gather some hits of information that

might be of interest to the SSC family.

As I wandered around, 1 discovered
thai a new set of tables had been ac-
quired, giving us more room in which
lo study without disturbing olhers.
Wbil,- examining the shelves, 1 can
across a new collection of novels th,
should provide interesting reading for
us. Two that struck my eye were Frank
Verby's A Woman Called Fancy, and
Cardinal Spellman's The Foundling.

Miss Hawkins, College Librarian, has
moved into her new office and is ready
to lend assistance, as always, to those
who have difficulty in finding materials.
Five students have been assigned to the
Library staff. They are: James Camp-
bell, Ceorge Thomas, Alflcta Gaskin,
Ha/el Collier, and Ct-lestinc Hamilton.

-A recent survey of the use of the
Library by students shows thai more
of our students an- making increasing
use of this great educational tool.

What Is Our Destiny?

The question, "What is our destiny?" has been asked over and
over again, by people of all groups. Even though many of us never
think of it, we must face this question in one way or another.

If we are to survive in this atomic age, there is a role for each
of us to play in our society. It is our responsibility to utilize our
capabilities to their fullest extent.

No individual thinks seriously al all times, but our present-day
conditions require serious thought. We must remember today is hut
a prelude to tomorrow. Therefore, it is better for us to begin now to
prepare ourselves for the tasks which lie ahead of us.

The Bible speaks of man's reaping what lie sows. To that, I
should like to add that some of us sow infertile seeds, especially when
we spend our time doing nothing. Thus, we reap nothing. There are
too many people in the world who want nothing; they just tag along.
Could this be true of some of us here at Savannah Stale? Often
following discourses given by speakers, we hear remarks concerning
our purpose at this institution. This leads me to wonder whether it
a common thought thai abilities and talents are developed and not
picked up by osmosis.

An institution is only as great as its constituents. This needs no
finnalion other than to say that men make institutions and we
e great potentialities with us. We ourselves must face and recognize

destiny.

Ann Ruth Howard

This is the story behind a story of
progress. The Creative Writing Edi-
tion of The Tiger's Roar, released last
month, marked more than a new high
journalistic achievement at SSC. In
addition, this literary effort, in the
words of its preface, "symbolized and
crystallized an ideal which the late
Dean Janie Lester constantly advocated
Ihe development of creative expres-
sion among the students of Savannah
State."

During the past year, several worth-
while contributions of a creative na-
ture reached ihe Student Publication
Office, but this kind of material was
not loo well suited lo newspaper edi-
tions. Sensing a great need of an out-
let that could encourage and utilize
ihe students' creative talents. Miss
Luetla B. Colvin, advisor lo studenl
publication, began exploring the possi-
bility of doing a magazine edition ex-
pressly for creative writing. However,
this idea remained a dream until the
advent of such a publication last month.
Sparked by ihe sincere desire for the
cultivation of creativity in expression
and thinking here at SSC, and ihe
kind encouragement of Dr. W. K. Payne
and others, the staff produced its first
Creative Writing Edition.

Miss Colvin deserves high commen-
dation for her untiring efforts and un-
common interest in the fulfillment of
a need and a dream envisioned by Dean
Lester, lo whom ihe edition is dedi-
cated.

It is hoped that ihe Creative Writing
Edition will become an annual publi-
cation growing in scope and i|ualily
as SSC's student hody grows in ap-
precialion (or self-expression. It is
hoped that it will become "an inspir-
ing tribute lo Dean Lester's high ideals
and splendid example." It is a project
born of a few minds and realized by
the concerted efforts of many minds
ami influences.

We are especially appreciative to
those aiding this endeavor and we are
sincerely grateful for ihe kind expres-
sions of approval lo a step in ihe stu-
dent publication's climb to recognition
leading college journal.

There is nothing like leaching.
If you like doing good deeds.
Everyday you can feel certain
That you have given lo one in need.

By Charles McDaniels

The SSC Tigers split a double-head-
er with the Allen University Yellow
Jackets, January 18. The Yellow Jackets
look the first half, with a score of
43-37. Tile Tigers took the niglit-cap,
61-53.

The girls' game was "till Allen" un-
til the last quarter, when Marlha
Hawls, high-scoring ace for the Tiger-
ellcs, went to work dropping buckets
from the noor. Allen won the scor-
ing honors, with L. Dinkins tossing in
13 points. For the losers, Martha
Hawls dropped in 18, while Nela Sta-
Icy came up with 7.

Slate's cagers were paced by Robert
"Nancy Hanks" Slocum. The game
was a nip and luck battle until the
fourth, when Slate came into her own,
cracking the Yellow Jacket's zone de-
fense.

Then Slocum broke loose, and scored
two Blraighl buckets, giving State a
four-pninl lead. Allen never recovered
from thai blow, os the game moved
ahead for the Tigers. Allen came
within two points of tying llie score,

ices.

Mr. Wilson was inducted into the
services on Tuesday, July 22, 1952,
at Atlanta, Georgia and reported to
Fort Jackson, S. C, for training.
He has taken the officer's candi-
date test and is now awaiting its

soprano of the New York City
Opera for five years, a concert
singer who has captivated two con-
tinents from Venezuela to northern
Alaska, a soloist with orchestra
whose "beautiful singing" has
been publicly praised by Stokowski,
will be presented in Concert at Sa-
vannah State College.

Miss Williams will appear in
Meldrim Auditorium, Friday, Au-
gust 8 at 8:30 p. m. in the second
Lyceum feature of the summer.
Todd Duncan, internationally fam-
ous baritone, was the first Lyceum
attraction, appearing on June 30.

Bom in Danville, Virginia, Ca-
milla Willams was graduated from
Virginia State College. Granted a
scholarship by the Alumni Asso-
ciation she came to Philadelphia to
study under Mme. Marian Szekely-
Freschl. Within less than a year
she won the annual Marian Ander-
son Award.' In 1944 she again
emerged as a winner. Soon after
she won further recognition as the
winner of the Philadelphia Orches-
tra Youth Concert Auditions.

The New Year 1946 brought the
young soprano, who by that time
had begun to fill a limited number
of concert engagements, an audi-
tion with Laszlo Halasz, Music Di-
rector of the New York City Opera
Company, who offered the gifted
girl her great opportunity the
role of Butterfly.

Tradition was broken and news
made the night of May 15, 1946,
when kimono-clad Camillia Wil-
liams fluttered out and created a
new Cio-Cio-San. In the audience
the most famous Butterfly of her
time, Geraldine Farrar, who led the
capacity house in the applause,
stated: "She already is one of the
great Butterflys of our day." She
soon became "the most talked of
postwar Cio-Cio-San," reported
TIME MAGAZINE.

Since then the soprano has ap-
peared regularly with the New
York City Opera, both at home and
on tour. She soon added other
roles to her repertoire, Nedda in
"Pagliacci", "La Boheme," and the
title role of "Aida."

Members of Secondary Workshop Work on A Group Project

Secondary Workshop Furnishes In-Service
Teachers Practical Experiences

By MRS. E. C. BRYANT

The Secondary Workshop of Sa-
vannah State College was among
the most interesting groups
summer school during the first i
sion. All members engaged
teaching tackled varied problems
in the different communities in
which they teach.

As an individual project each
teacher has chosen a major prob-
lem in his school and is making a
study of it to present as a proposal
to help correct the conditions.

The surveys, discussions, confer-
ences, and tactful guidance of
teachers have made this a prac-
tical accomplishment.

The weekly field trips have given
much information in the area of
service.

the Instructors Mr. 0. L. Doug-
principal of Alfred E. Beach
High School, Savannah, Georgia
and Mr. C. W. DuVaul, principal of
Spencer High School, Columbus,
Georgia guided us into an atmos-
phere of interest.

The committee in Resource Per-
sons was particularly interested In
obtaining individuals whose expe-
riences in fields relevant to the
surveys would t serve as enriching
material.

Dr. W. K. Payne, President of
Savannah State College was our
first consultant. He spoke on Hu-
man Relations. Some high points
e Human Relations is the most
important factor in the solution of
problems; it breaks down stero-
types; and it is based on the in-
telligence of human values. It frees
the best in an individual, and the
best agency for spreading good
human relations is through the
hild in the classroom.

On June 20 Mr. Theodore Wright
[poke to us on Physical Education
and health. He stressed health
and physical education as a part
of education for the youth. He out-
d three factors of physical edu-
cation: (1) Power to act which we
strength and endurance; (2)
Skill to act flexibility, timing,
balance, and relaxation; and (3)
otivation to act goal or purpose.

The Public Relations Depart-
ment was well represented by Mr.
W. H. M. Bowens on June 27. He
stated that Public Relations is a
ay of life and that a public re-
lations program should include the
school and all phases of the com-
munity. It is an art of dealing
with the public. The tools of pub-
lic relations are Publicity news-

papers, radio and television, school
paper, faculty staff, alumni and
friends.

After the discussion we had a
broader view of human relations,
All committees played an impor-
tant role in making the workshop
beneficial.

Todd Duncan Presented
as Lyceum Feature

Receives Tremendous
Ovation

By JOHN A. ALDRIDGE

In a splendid concert, Todd Dun
can, internationally famous bari
tone, sang to a large, appreciative
audience in Meldrim Hall Audito-
rium, Monday evening, June 30,
1952, at 8:30 p. m.

The brilliant artist magnificently
displayed the talents of a truly
great performer in the areas of
tone quality, richness, interpreta-
tion and coordination, qualities that
could only be manifest by a true
artist. All of this despite singing
under the pressure of 90 degree
heat.

Opening the concert with Han-
del's "Hear Me, Ye Winds and
Waves" from "Scipio," Mr. Dun-
can went through the widely varied
program with ease. He displayed
his unusual interpretative ability in
the masterful renditions of Schu-
bert's 'Dr. Erlkonig" and "The
Seminarist" by Moussorgsky.

During the second half of the
program, Mr. Duncan's magnifi-
cent handling of Massenet's "Vis-
ion Fugitive" from "Herodiade"
and Saint-Saens "Danse Macabre"
received appreciative applause
from the audience. The richness
of his voice and excellent expres-
sons gave full meanng to the group
of Negro spirituals, Haitian and
Creole folk songs which he sang.
Mr. Duncan delighted the audience
with his superb interpretation of
Gershwin's "I Got Plenty of Nut-
tin,' from "Porgy and Bess," the
Broadway smash-hit in which he
starred. He sang as an encore the
very amusing "Song of the Flea"
by Moussorgsky.

Mrs. Brown: "I wonder If yau
would be so kind as to weigh this
package for me?"

Butcher: "Why certainly, it
weighs exactly three and a half
pounds, Ma'am.'!

Mrs. Brown: "Thank you. It
contains the bones you sent me in
that four-pound roast yesterday."

"I got 35 In arithmetic and 40 in
spelling but I sure knocked 'em cold
in geography."

"What did you get?"

"Zero."

Everyday Problems
Discussed in Social
Problems Class

By ANNIE R. ROEBUCK

What are Social problems? "So-
cial problems are those abnormal
conditions appearing in group life
which are considered dangerous
antj intolerable."

During the first session of sum-
mer school, the class in Modern
Social Problems -151 was one of the
most interesting classes on the
campus. Its objective was to deal
with social problems in a unique
fashion.

Members of this class were rep-
resentatives of different sections
of Georgia, thereby bringing varied
problems for classroom study.

Lectures, library study, discus-
sions, group study and movies gave
informative appeal, This in itself
substantiates the statement made
by the instructor, Dean W. J. Hol-
loway that, "We must do sound
thinking about the problems that
exist today."

Being aware of this fact and the
fact that vast changes in the social
world create many perplexing
problems, the class was organized
into groups to study some timely
problems. These were as follows:
Group I

Political Corruption Mrs.
Mamye Pickett, Chairman, Ameri-
cus, Georgia; Mrs. Evelyn Wright,
Athens, Georgia; Mrs. Lula E.
Walker, Douglas, Georgia; Mrs,
Hattie Anderson, Riceboro, Geor-
gia; and Mrs. Veronica S. Wash-
ington, Savannah, Georgia.

Mental Diseases Mrs. Marie
Day, Chairman, Atlanta, Georgia;
Mrs. Mable J. Garbett, Savannah,
Georgia; Mrs. Ophelia Futch,
Hinesville, Georgia; Miss Areola
Harris. Savannah, Georgia; and
Mrs. Virgie L. Holland, Savannah,
Georgia.

Group III

Sharecropping Mr. Rudy Bol-
den, Chairman, Savannah, Georgia;
Mr. Wayne Hawes, Lincolnton,
Georgia; Mrs. Martha Edwards,
Darien, Georgia; Mrs. Lurene B.
Dowdy, Hull, Georgia; and Miss
Elizabeth Lee, Augusta, . Georgia.

bine, Georgia ; Mrs. Mattie B.
Hackney, Robinson, Georgia; Mrs.
Ethel Shipman, Tifton, Georgia;
Miss Annie R. Roebuck, Athens,
Georgia; Mrs. Eula McMillan, Quit-
man, Georgia; and Mrs. Sadie T.
Hall, Darien, Georgia.

Study of Art
Brings Appreciation

Reveals Historical Facts

By
MRS. GERTRUDE D. THOMAS

In addition to visualization and
skill in self expression, a study of
,rt and other people and other
times is important in the growth of
appreciation. Practically all works
of art are historical and therefore
form a rich source of information
of the country and the period in
which they were produced. The
art of a people is an interpreta-
tion of its interests religious, so-
cial, economic, and political. Since
artists are usually sensitive men,
their works tell of the events and
the people that interest them.

Frequently events of past ages
are more fascinating than those
of the present day, und the biog-
raphies of the men who produced
the great masterpieces may be as
absorbing as fiction. When thi
aims that motivate the artist, th<
trials and difficulties that beset
his honest efforts, or the more
pleasant success and honors that he
enjoys are known, his works are
more deeply appreciated. In the
experience of others, there is t
wealth of material that can be se-
lected to develop one so that he 1
may become more cultured and in-
formed, and thereby better able t<
inderstand and evaluate the work:
of other people and other ages.

Enjoyment and appreciation fol-
low proper and artistic selection
and arrangement of works of art
some form or other. And if
properly studied, we will learn to
appreciate not only the master-
pieces of the artist, the handiwork
of man, but more especially the
marvelous power of the artist when
all powers are combined with the
ability to demonstrate the funda-
mental principles of art its chief
facets, the nature of form, and the
elements of form for it Is then
the artist accomplishes his part
to develop true art which will
strengthen our appreciation and
become a source of Inspiration for
us to respect, to share and to ap-
preciate the productions of our fel-
lowmen, whether these productions
are those of the work of artists of
today or the works of the masters
of all ages.

Arts and Crafts
Workshop Does
Creative Work

By MRS. MELBA McLENDON

The first summer session Arts
and Crafts Workshop was very ac-
tive this summer. It was composed
of forty-nine in-service and pros-
pective teachers and was under the
direction of Mrs. Rosemary Curley
Jackson.

The group did scribble designs,
spatter painting, finger painting,
tempera painting, papier mache
animals, soap carving, weaving,
blue-printing and block printing.
Many individuals worked on special
projects and were quite successful.

It was quite revealing bo see
such beautiful objects made from
waste materials.

Mrs. Jackson was quite success-
ful in taking the class, as a whole,
back to its childhood days. By
creative drawings and dabbling in
paint, the average individual In
the class wandered mentally hack-
to childhood. I am quite confident
that the many experiences that we
shared in the workshop this sum-
mer will be of great benefit to our
pupils in the next school year.

66 Enrolled in
Elementary Workshop

Educational Value of Cultural Activities

_ To what extent are we as college students interested in cultural
activities? Have you ever stopped to think of the value of a cultural
education?

While visiting New York, what would interest you most? Would
it be the operas, museums, art-exhibits, Radio City, the great uni-
versities, baseball parks, night clubs or the races. Because of the value
of a well-rounded education the college Lyceum committee has at-
tempted to work out its program in order to provide for well-rounded
entertainment. The programs presented by the committee are as much
a part of our education as textbooks and classes.

On Monday night, June 30, Todd Duncan, well known baritone was
presented in concert as a Lyceum feature in Meldrim Auditorium His
program consisted of a number of classics, folk-songs, Negro spirituals
and light opera. Some of his numbers were done in German, others
m French and others in Russian. The melodies, as distinguished from
the lyrics, were very easy to follow and the audience was mad with

For this issue our roving reporter
asked the question "Do You Think
Men S hould Give Women Their
Seats On The Bus?" The Answers
are given below. What Do You
Think?

By ALTA VAUGHN

1. No. They are puffing and

smoking just like men. Let them
stand. E.G.B.

2. If the bus goes to a govern-
ment plant, the first person that
comes should get the seat. Too
many women depend on chivalry
and it is dead. If an elderly woman
gets on, it might be all right. How-
ever, if he does not want to give
up his seat, he should hold it. An
old lady should have the prefer-
ence. L.W.

3. Women have lost their femin-
ity. Let them stand if they are not
too elderly. M.L.M.

4. Men should let their consci-
ence be their guide. A.R.M.M.

5. Definitely I do. Though the
age of chivalry has passed, men
could show more courtesy. L.L.F.

6. It depends on the age. If it is
an elderly person they should get
up. If it is a younger person, they
should not get up. ' Times are
changing. S.K.

Whether a man is to stand and
let a lady sit should depend on age.
If the man is older, let him have
the seat. However, if he is young-
er, I should expect him to get up.
When I say .old, I mean past 70.
L.L.B.

When an old man gets on .the
bus, a young lady should give him
her seat and if an old lady gets on
the bus, a young man should give
her the seat. A young lady got on
the bus and a man gave her a seat
and she fainted. When she revived,
she thanked the man and he faint-
ed. E. L.

9. The age of chivalry is past.
Women are seeking equal rights in
some areas, so why shouldn't they
have them in all areas. If a woman
has a baby in her arms, a man
should get up and let her sit down;
if she has packages in her arms,
he should offer to hold the pack-

Class of '52

By MRS. GERTRUDE D. THOMAS
Luck, 'easy 'money, and a good
time were the notes to which the
younger generation of the "For-
ties" danced. Why work hard to be
a good student when everyone
knows that the world's prizes goes
to the popular persons, the good
mixer, the boy with natural talents
for athletics, the girl with the be-
witching smile and clever line?

Why work when all the world
was a bed of roses and jobs fairly
aching to be taken?

Nowadays, boys and girl3 seem
to take life with a reasonable and
questionable outlook, though none
of the facilities for having. a good
time have been buried. The young
man of 1952 is realizing for the
first time, perhaps, that the job of
today is not obtained through
worthless folly nor family pull.
And the young lady of this day is
aware of the fact that her job is
not given to the "Dumb Dora" or
the "Simple Sue" and that the
wholehearted girl with the brains
is the one who makes the grade.
Today, education is a necessity to
travel through the lanes of life; to
understand one's neighbor, what he
thinks, what he feels and what he
does; to understand one's self!

The year 1952 finds it common
sense to make good on the chance
to learn.

YOUR MOVE

Sitting here on the eve of press date for the Tiger's Roar we

listen joyially to the last words of Senator Sam Rayburn, Democrat,
Tdxas, as he givea the closing remarks of the long but effective demo-
cratic convention. Raburn described it as an arduous and onereous
eratis convention. Rayburn described it as an arduous and ,,
have kept ourselves as close to the radio as possible between cla;
and meal time, and interrupted our studies even more times to catch
the meaning of actions taking place. We lost sleep, too, trying to stay
awake until the convention adjourned each night. Conseqeuently we
welcomed as we are sure the delegates welcomed the end of
the convention.

Because most of yours truly's lifetime has been spent under a
democratic administration, we listened most ardently to the convention.
We heard men seasoned in -parliamentary procedures and political
maneuvering control a group of Americans strikingly different in
!S, some deeply endowed with sectional pride, vested interest
group who at times was bitter and disagreeable
ide sectionalism a reality; threats
; liberal expressions of the rights
, :reed or color; plain stubborness;
political coercion; shrewd political movement; agreement; defeated
candidates conceding to the candidate in lead and pledging their sup-
port unquestionably; compromising; demanding polling of delegates;
then nominating the candidates for President and vice-President. All
of these things happened at the Democratic Convention {as well as
other things) because these were democrats in America firmly be-
lieving that all Americans have a right to speak and knowing quite
well that as Americans they could speak.

The Stevenson Sparkman ticket transcends all sectional lines
and we hope that minor liberal expressions of Sparkman will expand
to major ones. All of this has been done now its "Your Move"

Can you move? Your move depends upon whether or not you are
a registered voter. If not you are endangering your own progress.
We must learn to use the ballot to enhance the rapidity of all the
constitutional rights granted to all Americans. Your first move should
be to check yourself and see if you are registered then proceed to
help others. When November comes be sure your vote is cast as well
as any others you can influence. THE NEXT MOVE IS YOURS.

and Health, Social Studies, and
Science. Officers were also elected
for each of these groups.

The members of the group spon-
sored a chapel program during the
regular weekly chapel hour,
Wednesday, July 23. The program
consisted of a classroom demon-
stration on teaching mathematics
in a practical manner.

belonging to students who have
worn thin my halls, marred my
buildings with, "Say what? Don't
leave me. Take me with you when
you go. I'll be so lonesome when
you'i-e gone." And "Whoa back
up and try it a-a-a-a-gain," and
the history of their love affairs.
For years these students have been
warmed by my heat, fed in my
dining hall, and housed in my dor-
mitories. They have annoyed jny
instructors and wasted paper and
time foolishly. But now they are
joining a great mass of men and
women who have made the world
what it is today.

Although you may think this is
joyous occasion for me it is not.
Tears are blinding my eyes as I
hear the last student take a last
look inside me, and run to join his
classmates. His steps become more
faint and now they are fading
away. My mind is blotted by mem-
ories of the oustanding students
who add another trophy to my pos-
sessions. Bringing fame and glory
to me and to them, they have added
another extra glow of pride to my
eyes. Many students will carry the
spirit of Savannah State wherever
they go; they will help to carry
on the glory, democracy, and lead-
ership in a democratic school.

Yes, I have a right to be proud
and a right to be sad. I glance
around in my empty halls, in the
classrooms, in the auditorium and
I am reminded of future stars. The
shops, the art and music rooms, the
lab, the library, and the gym, bring
a touch of pride to me and a tear
to my eye. I am too blinded with
tears to write, so I remain.

Give Us A Thought

By GERTRUDE D. THOMAS

The Class of 1952 leaves behind
a past full of memories of a place
we will never forget. It is hard to
ealize we have to leave dear old
Savannah State, for so much of
our lives have been spent here
learning, laughing, and loving.

Now we are leaving but its only
in form, and not in thought. At
institutions of higher learning,
your bewildered alumnui will stop
in the midst of scurrying thou-
sands and say, "Gee, but this is a
lot different from S. S. C.. Gee, 1
miss the dear old place! Do you
suppose they ever miss us?" When
summer school opens next June,
won't you think a little about us?
We are sure going to be thinking
about you.

A CHILDHOOD NOTE

How many times I read your mail,
And wondered how, and why,
And how you sat and held your

pen,
To write me as a friend.

Although I know you know just
how, just ,

Why, and when to write,

And how to spell each word cor-
rect

And place the periods right.

I wish I could I know I would
If only a chance I'd try have
You enrolled I would hold
And enfold you in my book of
friends.

IF I HAD MY WAY

By Miss Sarah E. Butler
If I had my way I'd change time
Around.
The hours I'd arrange in this
light:
From morn til' noon would be the
time for day;
From noon til' morn would be
night.
It's more sleep we want, and more
time we need
In this atomic age of men;
More time to think, for its thought
that helps
To keep the world in trim.
I see it this way I must confess
The night seems shorter than
day.
So if I had my way day would be
night,
And night would be day, if I had
my way.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Chatham County
Superintendent
Addresses Wednesday
Assembly

Stresses Practicality

in the Classroom

(William A. Early, newly
pointed Superintendent of Schools
in Chatham County was the guest
speaker at the regular weekly
chapel hour in Meldrim Audito-
rium, Wednesdny, July 1G, at 10:00
a. m.

Speaking from the theme
"Things I Think Are Important
Other Than Things You Get At
This Institution," Mi-. Early de-
clared that all eyes are turned
toward Washington for political
leadership, toward New York for
financial leadership, and toward
America as a whole for democrcay
in action.

"We in America have been for-
tunate in being exposed to de-
mocracy," he said. "The only rea-
son it hasn't worked any better for
us is because we subscribe to
cliques and machines. We in the
classrooms are the worst defenders
of democracy. We preach democ-
racy and practice autocracy."

He said that one must be humble
to be a good teacher, that pride
never made a good teacher. The
public schools have shut their doors
to the people who own them, he
stated. Teachers have developed a
superior air. "Show me," he de-
clared, "a superior-acting person
and I will show you one who is
close to being an imbecile."

Furthermore, he declared, the
people own the public schools and
any day they withdraw their chil-
dren the doors will have to be
closed.

Turning to the area of teacher-
pupil-parent relationships he as-
serted that teachers need to know
the backgrounds of their students
as well as the parents of each stu-
dent.' 'I am a believer in 50 teachers
to a classroom which means that
parents and teachers work so
closely together that they under-
stand each other ... It takes 16
hours a day in this country to make
a teacher, he declared. Teachers
should be members of various civic
organizations in their communities
because that's where the gossip
goes on, and that's where the
schools are evaluated.

Why don't people in America
support schools any better than
they do? It's your fault and mine.
They don't know what we are do-
ing."

In conclusion, Mr. Early chal-
lenged th"e group to make their
teaching functional by teaching
things that can be used by stu-
dents.

Teachers Return
For Educational

Development

More Teachers Studying
During Summer Months

The presence of many in-service

and prospective teachers on the Sa-
vannah State College Campus this
summer indicates that they are be-
coming increasingly aware of the
fact that pupil growth is synony-
mous with teacher growth.

After all, the teacher who con-
tinues to grow in professional un-
derstanding and .in his vision of ed-
ucation and of life will be a better
leader of youth than the teacher
who fails to grow.

As we view this aggregation ol
teachers, our mind leaps beyond .to
consider that vast multitude in
whose service the teachers are en-
listed. It is for these young people
that society has created the schools,
in the interest of its own preserva-
tion and improvement.

Subsequently, on its schools, the,
nation has been placing ever-in-
creasing reliance. It is only as we
grasp these truths that the full sig-
nificance of teaching and teacher
growth becomes manifest. In the
light of these truths we can readily
see that teachers are indispensable;
that their quality is a matter of
deep concern.

We can fully realize how the en-
e future of our great common-
wealth could be jeopardized if chil-
dren and youth are entrusted to
nd women who are not intel-
ligent, not informed, not skillful,
and not devoted to young people
and to their calling.

Therefore, teachers must con-
stantly engage in those activities
that make for personal and profes-
sional development. In this way,
only can they become teachers who
are superbly fitted for their im-
portant task; who know how to co-
operate with others; who under-
stand how children grow and de-
velop; who know how to guide
learning; and who are continually
increasing their stature as persons,
citizens, and professional workers.
Let it be remembered that the
role of the teacher will continue
to be that of a guide, leading those
whom he teaches toward the ob-
jective of education in a demo-
cracy.

division of Home Economics and Trades and
Industries Conduct Joint Home and
Community Beautification Workshop

_ The Divisions of Home Economics and Trades and Industries
joined forces in organizing and making available to the elementary and
secondary teachers in the State of Georgia, a Home and Community
Eeautifications Workshop, during the first summer session.

The course was designed to en-
able the teacher to become mori
effective in helping citizens ir
their communities determine ways
and means of solving community
problems in home beautification,
as well as aiding citizens in devel-
oping appreciation for civic and so-
cial benefits in a well-ordered com-
munity.

A lively interest was developed
by initially ascertaining the prob-
lems each class member encount-
ered in his respective community.
These general problems were
broken down into types of learning-
experiences which could be offered
and covered in at least one or two-
week periods. The objective was to
make each student independent for
further endeavor.

Areas of group concentration
were as follows: (1) furniture re-
pair and upkeep; (2) Interior fur-
nishing makers; (3) Wall and floor
treatment; (4) Reviving loom-craft
as a lucrative art; (5) Exterior
house-planning and landscaping;
and (6) Neighborhood planning for
the family.

practical expression of inte-
rior decoration was carried out
through the furnishing of a five-
room demonstration cottage built
by trade classes in the Division of
Trades and Industries. Through
the courtesy of the Haverty Furni-
ture Company of Savannah, mod-
ern furniture was selected and used
for demonstration purposes. All
drapery used in the cottage was de-
signed and constructed by the
classes in drapery.

Open House Held

A shared educational experience
in the enjoyment of goals achieved
in the workshop, was the All-Cam-
pus Open House which was held
during the last week of the ses-
sion on Herty Hall lawn. Loom-
craft articles in the form of stoles,
purses, drapery material, wood-
craft, sewing stands .silent valets,
what-not racks, condiment boxes,
children's furniture, re-upholstered
furniture, and slip-covered furni-
ture, were displayed. Over 700
awed guests were served delicious
refreshments of sandwiches, cake
and punch.

Many Consultants Used

A number of off-campus consul-
tants, as well as Savannah State
faculty and staff members, were
called in to discuss various prob-
lems pertaining to the purpose of
the workshop. Visiting consultants
were: Mrs. Irma Williams, slip-
cover and drapery specialist of Sa-
vannah; Mrs, Stella G. Minkk, fab-
ric designer And weaving specialist
whose studios are located at 6 East
Liberty Street, Savannah; Dr.

u Mason Addresses
Summer Students
in Chapel Program

By JOHN A. ALDRIDGE

Dr. W. A. Mason, State Director
of Health Education for Negroes,
spoke to the in-service teachers
and students during the regular
chapel services on July 9, 1952 in
Meldrim Auditorium,

He was introduced by President
W. K. Payne of Savannah State
College and spoke on the subject
with which he deals daily Health,
pointing out that because of dis-
coveries in medicine, communicable
disease has been lessened.

Life expectancy is longer," he
said. "However, Negro life expec-
aney is still less than that of
whites." Mental disease is becoip-
ing a greater problem, conse-
quently the number one problem is
Health."

Dr. Mason who works closely
with the health programs in Negro
schools in Georgia, challenged the
audience from the topic "Watch-
man (teachers) What of the
night?" He emphasized the im-
portance of the school's health
classes being centered around
health habits that are common to
the children.

"After the night comes the dawn,
but how soon that dawn comes
depends upon you," Dr. Mason ad-
monished the audience.

Speaking of mental and emo-
tional health, Dr. Mason pointed
out that Negroes have suffered
more from emotional health than
any other group. Nevertheless,
the Negro racial group has made
surprisingly good adjustments, he
continued.

Dr. Mason believes that the
problem* of health is still a grave
one and proper attention must be
given it in school work. Conse-
quently, the eminent health edu-
cator concluded his stimulating
address with this thought: "It is
better to light a candle in the dark-
ness than to curse the darkness."

The title more than lived up to
its name. It was at times laugh-

SUMMER THEATRE Si^T^ jjj^ ^J

During First Session

(Continued from page five)

The play was a typical Ameri-
can family story in which there
were five daughters. All of the
daughters attempted to marry the
same young man. An old maid
(Aunt Etta) added to the complica-
tions by not wanting the girls to
marry and by finding that she too
was in love with the young man.
Granny, the family sage, finally
solved the complex problem with
her even temper and experience, by
lecturing to the girls against "run-
ning after a man."

The play was the first presented
by the 1952 Summer Theater
Group. John Watkins, a junior
from Greenville, S. C, played the
lead role, and Miss Jolene Belin, a
senior from Bainbridge, Georgia,
and Miss Jewell Grant af Savan-
nah, regularly enrolled at Howard
University, Washington, D. C,
co-starred in the lead female roles.
Other members of the cast were
Miss Beverly Ann Brown; Thun-
derbolt; Mrs. Gloria S. Baker, Sa-
vannah; James Gibbons, Rome;
Miss Geneva 0. Bray, Savannah;
Miss Myrtice James, Thunderbolt;
Mrs. Evelyn Wright, Thunderbolt;
and Miss Llzettae Footman, Quit-
man.

Miss Eulon Marie Bass, Madison,
Georgia, regularly enrolled at
Spelman College, Atlanta, was in
charge of the stage lighting, and
Miss Marie Dansby, a senior ma-
joring in English from Atlanta, in-
troduced the play.

IN MEMORIUM

At times I find my soul at lowest
tone

Tis then I sit and grieve my lost
father

Whose tasks sent him in any kind
of weather,

To help a fallen soul who felt alone

To strive again. Your load cannot
be bourne

By any other; but men must work
together

For God commands to love ye one
another;

Tb meet, to live, forever near His
throne.

No guide to steed my/course for
better life /

I gain my strength from His ideals
of grace,

And keep my soul steadfast in love
divine.

I cannot keep the pace of commer-
cial strife

And see in peace my Master's smil-
ing face,

And hear His welcome voice, O
child of mine.

The Anonymous Letter

A Short Story

By Emma C. Bryant

English 412, Creative Writing Jnily

21, 1952. Mrs. E. J. Campbell.

Instructor

I gave a sigh of relief when the
train pulled out from the station. I
was not happy but I had succeeded
in leaving without encountering
anyone that would be curious about
by actions. This was an all night
trip on a slow train so I leaned
back in my seat and gradually
became lost with the past.

It was 1904 when Jay said,
"Remember your promise, wait for
me." Then he leaped from the plat-
form of the train. I made no re-
sponse. Only a smile and tear
dimmed eyes expressed my feel-
ings.

Jay and I had been lovers around
the campus where we both at-
tended school in Macon, Georgia. I
was on my home to Hawkinsville, a
a small town in Middle Cjorgla.
Jay had secured a job and was le-
maining in Macon to work uui:ng
the summer. He had to earn some
money to be able to return to
'school in the fall.

During the summer we wrote to
each other regularly. When school
opened I went back to Macon but
Jay went to a college in Florida.
The happy memory of letters {id
my studies kept up my spirits
from year to year.

Jay finally entered Meharry
Medical College after graduation
from high school by talcing an
entrance examination. These were
hard years for finance but Jey
was determined to become a doctor
and fate was on his side. There
were no "mushy" love letters now
but just an occasional letter or
card to remind me of my promise
and to tell me of his work.

After four years of coitsiucd
study Jay graduated from Mehaiiy
Medical College. He went to At-
lanta and took the state nvdbal
examination. He left there and
went to Tallahassee to take ihe
state medical examination. He then
went to Adel, Georgia to wait for
a report from the examination.
When the report came he had
passed both examinations and had
license to practice in Georgia and

Florida.

Now Jay felt sure that after a
year of practice we woull be
married. Letters were frequent
now, but it was really a year be-
fore I saw him. He oame to visit me
and meet my parents. Aft-Jr a
day's visit he left with my parents
consent for us to be married.

I was teaching in the ?ity school
at my home but I did not apply for
re-election because of our plans for
the future.

My mother began to mae plans
for a church wedding. School
opened but I was free to relp
with my own plans. However fate
'intervened ond .1 went to the
county to substitue for a teacher
who was ill.

The school building was on the
highway and the "mail man" as
he was called passed daily. Each
day I received a letter or a card
from Jay. Finally "the letter" as
I mentally termed this usmal lp'ter
came. For a few minutes I buried'-
my head in my arms on the desk.
I was not crying but I had to Han
quickly and act likewise.

My plans were set. I dismissed
school immediately and told the
children that I had to go home. I
walked toward by boarding place
and asked the nearest patron to
let his boy drive me to town. In
a few minutes I had changed my
suit, picked up a hat and a bag,
and I was on my way with only a
few dimes over my fare.

Upon reaching town I went first
to a telephone booth and called
Jay. In a few seconds the ope-
rator said that he was out but was
expected within an hour. I railed
the station and checked the trcin
schedule. I found the train was due
to leave in thirty minntes. I came
out of the booth walked out of the
store face to face with an uncle.

I said, "I'm lucky to see you. I
need ten dollars."

Without question he handed me
a ten dollar bill. I thanked him.

When my uncle was out of sight
I walked over to the boy who had
brought me to town and told him
that I had to go home.

I was interrupted when the
porter said: "Change trains lady,

June Graduates Hear Bishop B. W. Doyle Speak on
"Forty Acres and A Mule"

One hundred and twenty-five
graduates and their friends and.
relatives heard Bishop Bertram
Wilbur Doyle, A.B., M.A., Ph.D.,
D.D., presiding bishop, Seventh
Episcopal District, C.M.E. Church,
Nashville, Tennessee, deliver the
$7th commencement address,
Wednesday, June 4.

Speaking in Meldrim Auditorium
at 4:00 p. ni., Bishop Doyle chose
as his theme, "Forty Acres and a
Mule," and as his sub-topic, "An
Essay in Social Causation and So-
cial Therapy.'

Bishop Doyle pointed out that
one of the things which had con-
cerned him for many years was the
disillusionment that comes to so-
cial groups when, after placing
their hopes for salvation in a pan-
acea that has been recommended,
they either attain the salvation,
and find it not what they either
hoped or wished; or they do not
attain it at all, and find them-
selves not only disillusioned, but
also frustrated. Such, he said, was

(the case when following the Eman-
cipation Proclamation, freedmen
were promised "forty acres and a
mule," as the one solution to all of
their problems.

Bishop Doyle was introduced by
Dr. W. K. Payne, president of Sa-
vannah State. Dr. Payne awarded
the certificates and conferred the
degrees. Invocation was by the
Rev. Edgar P. Quarterman, pastor,
Second Baptist Church, Savannah.
~The Rev. A. J. Hargrett, college
minister, delivered the benediction.
The Savannah State choir, under
the direction of L. Allen Pyke,
sang "Ave Maria" by Verdi; "How
Do I Love Thee" by Wilson; and
"Hallelujah, Amen," by Handel.

Bringing his address to a close,
Bishop Doyle asked the class to
stand. "This," he said, "is my
charge to you. No one thing ac-
complished in the environment can
effect adjustment for a given hu-
man being, or for a given human
group, unless it be articulated,
even fortified by a change in at-
titude. And the change in atti-
tude must come from within. Our
progress must not be based upon
any particularistic fallacy, but
upon a conception that many fac-
tors enter into human develop'
ment, not the least of which is ca-
pacity and ability. Forty acres of
the best land, and a genuine Mis>
souri mule will not accomplish
much for a man who is unwilling,
or undecided, or unable to plow his
land. And then again, forty
acres of the poorest land, with a
scrubby mule cannot be made to
produce as much as more favor-
ably located land with a better
mule, no matter how efficient the
ploughman is. It just means that
no one thing will solve the problem.
My closing advice to you, then is
that while in the political process
are developing those conditions for
which you hope and strive, you
must neither wait for the millen-
ium, nor must you conceive that
when, and if, that millenium comes,
it will bring you complete surcease
from your personal disabilities . . -
Whatever you do must be salted
with a generous helping of char-
acter. Character is something to
add to environment . . . Forty
acres and a mule are not enough
but, if there is any one thing with
out which you will be at a loss, it
will he character,

were meeting requirements for de-
grees at Savannah State, and still
others were meeting state certifi-
cation requirements.

For this issue the Tiger's Roar
salutes Dr. Booker T. Griffith for
his outstanding research in the
area of cytology, and for his work
with reference to allergy-produc
ing fungi in the Savannah area.
The appearance of Dr. .Griff ith
biography in the International Blu*
Book marks a crowning point
the career of this eminent i
searcher and teacher. Only the
individuals who have done work
their fields which attract intern!
tional attention are included in th
International Who's Who.

Since 1949 Dr. Griffith has don<
research work for the American
Academy of Allergy, trying to find
causes of respiratory ailments such
as hay fever, asthma, and sinus
trouble. The opinion of the aller-
gist is that different kinds of
fungi found In the air we breathe
is responsible for these ailments.
The American Academy of Allergy
wanted an analytical study made
of the air in the Savannah area.
Dr. Griffith, due to his scholarly
achievements in the area of re-
search, was chosen to conduct the
study.

On the basis of his research for
the Academy, Dr. Griffith pub-
lished an article entitled "Antibio-
sis Between Wind-Borne Mold and
Insect Lava from Wind-Borne
Eggs," in the July issue of the
Journal of Allergy. Already, he has
had requests from some of the
outstanding schools of medicine in
the United States, as well as from
.everal foreign countries.

In addition to his work in cyltol-
ogy and fungi, Dr. Griffith has
written several articles <
seasonal changes in gonads of the
male English Sparrow. He has
also made a comparative study of
chromosomes in several species of
birds in the southeastern region
of the United States.

The eminent teacher and re-
searcher is a native of Prentiss,
Mississippi. He earned the B. S.,
M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Biology
from the University of Pittsburgh.

as Professor of Biology and Chair-
man of the Division of Natural
Sciences at Fort Valley State Col-
lege, and Professor of Biology at
Clark College, Atlanta, Georgia.
He also taught at the University of
New Orleans.

He is active in civic affairs In
the city of Savannah, and enjoys

"During the term 1951-1952 the
library enjoyed its greatest period
f growth as attested by the ac-
creditation of the Southern Asso-
ciation," said Miss Luella Hawk-
ins, Head Librarian of Savannah
State College, as she closed out
her library report for the year,
Saturday, July 19.

"Such improvements as the new
office and workroom are most at-
tractive," Miss Hawkins said, Rem-
ington Rand new trend furniture
furnishes one half the library with
ten reading tables and sixty chairs.
Wall shelves for magazines, news-
papers, and reference books have
been added.

In addition to standard reading
materials, micro-films files of the
New York Times, London Times,
and Savannah Morning News are
vallable for patrons.
The total number of books in the
library including bound volumes of
p eriodi cals is 18,678. "This brings
the library to meet the mini-
mum standard of the Southern As-
sociation," said Miss Hawkins.
The library also receives 198 cur-
rent periodicals and eighteen news-
apers."
Miss Hawkins reports that al-
though enrollment decreased
lightly during 1 the last 3 years, the
total circulation of books this year
was greater than for either of the
two previous years. The number
used by faculty members, 1136 and
the number used by students was
an average of 44 per student. To-
tal circulation of hooks was 44,668.
Of this number reserved books ac-
counted for 30,977, and 7 day books
13,691.

Periodicals most often read by
faculty members are those of edu-
cational value and Negro publica-
tions. Students prefer the "popu-
lar picture types," Miss Hawkins
explained.

Newspapers are read exten-
sively, especially the locals. Verti-
cal file service is available. The
file includes up-to-date clippings
and materials on most school sub-
jects.

Assistants to Miss Hawkins are
Miss Madeline Harrison, and Miss
Althea Williams. All three librar-
ians hold at least the Bachelor of
Science degree in library science.
There is also a full-time secretary
and four staident assistants.

"The addition of a full time sec-
retary to the library gives the li-
brarians more time to work with
students," stated Miss Hawkins.

Only thirty minutes now. My

When I stepped off the train,
I had no difficulty in finding the

I walked into the office and a

"Looking for the Doctor?"

"Yes."

"Where are you from?"

"Nashville," I lied.

"Is the Doctor out of town?"

"No just around the corner."

"Busy?"

"Don't know. I'll get him. Have
a seat,"

My nerves were failing me. I
turned my back toward the door.

I didn't hear Jay come in but
before I could think what was best
to say first I was gathered into his
arms. It was several minutes before
we spoke.

Last night." Why?"
"I was expecting you."

"Expecting me?"

"Yes," and again I was in his

"Come on now, sit down," Jay
said tenderly.

The tears that I had kept back
all night now came freely. Jay let
me cry it out on his shoulder. Then
he took a damp towel and wiped
my face.

"I'm sorry," Jay said.

"Sorry?"

"Yes, sorry. You see I've suf-
fered more than you."

THE TIGER'S ROAR

August, 1952

President William K. Payne

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS
The New Schools In Georgia

For almost two decades educators in the State of Georgia have been
working on a program for the Improvement of schools. To many
teachers this concept of better schools meant many different things.
The point where the schools are today reveals an intricate and inter-
esting process. As these improvements have taken place many teachers
and laymen have thought of the schools in their old frame of reference.
However, the number of changes taking place in rapid procession are
forcing the development of new concepts.
. Three particular areas of change
contributing largely to the develop
ment of these new concepts of
education are salaries, extended
school terms, and the building pro-
gram. When salaries for teachers
were raised in accordance with pro-
visions of the Minimum Founda-
tion Program, many people saw the
schools in a new light. When the
school term was lengthened to the
standard minimum and the post-
week and the pre-planning week
were added, many teachers and
laymen did not understand what
was happening. They often con-
sidered these as make-work activi-
ties to justify the increased pay.
By the time the program reached
the stage of constructing new
school buildings, the points of view
began taking on new significance
and meaning. Probably for the first
time, many people realized that
the new era in public education was
well on its way.

As one considers these three
items, it is not difficult to under-
stand why new teachers or ex-
perienced teachers with new con-
cepts of their responsibilities are
required for the public schools.
Never before has interest on a wide
scale been aroused to provide stan-
dards for good teachers. The gen-
eral education of the teacher, the
professional preparation of the
teachers, and the quality of the in.
struction are intimately tied t(
salary schedules.

The type of teaching and learn-
ing activities carried on in the old
buildings cannot be transferred to
the new school buildings. The
adequacy of the old routine and
procedures transferred from the
old schools to the new schools
would appear startling and unreal.
The fact that new buildings provide
for the whole child mean additional
physical facilities which would re-
quire a large group of additional
learning activities. The arrival of
the building program has served to
bring about understanding of the
other processes which have been in
operation for several years. The
developing concept of the new edu-
cation in Georgia is now in its in-
fancy. The fact that the program
has now reached the point where it
may be readily understood and seen
should help teachers and future
teachers to move toward better
schools. Better education, better
citizens, and better communities
should be the normal results of the
new schools.

The colleges like the other levels
of the public school system will
undergo development in many

pearance as soloist with the Chi-
cago Symphony Orchestra. She
sang music of Mozart and the great
Casta Diva aria from Bellini's
"Norma." In the concert hal] the
soprano's success matched her
stage achievements. Critic C. J.
Bulliet reported in the Chicago
Daily News: "In Paris in the time
of the Second Empire, the students
would have unhitched the horses
from her carriage and themselves
pulled Camilla Williams through
the streets. Last night's audience
at Orchestra Hall fell little short
of that in their extravagant greet-
ing of the young Negro soprano in
her Chicago debut."

Camilla Williams has since ap-
peared from coast to coast, from
the Hollywood Bowl to Carnegie
Hall where in the spring of 1950,
as soloist with the New York Phil-
harmonic-Symphony, she sang in
the Mahler monumental Eighth
Symphony under* Stokowski. In the
summer of 1949 she toured Pan-
, the Dominican Republic and
Venezuela; she returned in the
summer of 1950 for reengagements
in Maracaibo and Caracas, Vene-
zuela ami in Santiago de los Ca-
bnlleros, in the Dominican Repub-
lic. Recently, too, she was one of
the first artists to tour Alaska. In
the spring of 1951, she was one of
the leading singers in the first
New York performance of "Ido-
meneo," presented by the Little Or-
chestra Society during its April
Festival of Mozart Operas.

Camilla Williams' first record-
ings were for RCA Victor and in-
cluded two best-selling Spirituals:
"City Called Heaven" and "0,
What a Beautiful City." Early in
1951 she recorded one of her favo-
rite roles, Aida, for MGM Records
in an album of "Highlights from
Aida" with the New York City
Opera Company, under the direc-
tion of Laszlo Halasz.

THE ANONYMOUS LETTER

(Continued from Page 7)

"More than I? Impossible!"
"No-not impossible."

"Oh, that reminds me I came
to bring you these letters and here
I am making a baby of myself."

"I wrote you this letter. The
next day I got one from you," Jay
said.

"Go on."

"Then I knew if you had written
this letter you would not have
written again.

"It is all so tangled. Didn't you
trust me?"

"I do trust you and love you.
How could I know where the letter
came from."

"Why did you say you were ex-
pecting me when I came?"

"That's easy to answer. I was
out, and when Joe answered the
telephone the operator told him
Eastman, calling Dr. Jay. Does
that satisfy you?"

"Yes."

"Any more questions?"

"Yes, let's compare these letters.

"Okay."

"Let me read this first:
Dear Dr. Jay,

This is just to tell you that I
cannot marry you now nor can I
ever marry you. You know my
father has never wanted me to
marry you.

You need not answer this letter
for I am going away to forget it
all. I will not be here if you an-
swer. I am glad I found out that
I did not love you before it was too
late.

Respectfully,
Emma" '
"Now listen to your letter:"
Dear Miss Emma,

Although you asked me not to
write you again, I am compelled to
do so and take a risk that you

ght get it before you leave. Why
didn't you write the letter? Why
did you have some one else to write
it for you?

I must admit that though it

all too much for me and that

I am both hurt and humiliated;

was honorable of you not to

marry one man when another man
had your love.

I'll not trouble yau by writing
again.

Best of Luck,
Jay" '

Students' Thinking in Class
Studied By Chicago Professor

924 Enrolled
Fall Quarter

The fall quarter enrollment is 924.

according to Ben Ingersoll, Registrar,
Mr. Ingersoll states that there are 287
male day students, and 494 women
day students.

There are 39 male students enrolled
as special trades students. Two male
and seventeen female students attend
Saturday classes. Eighty-five students
attend evening classes. 49 of whom are
men and 36 women.

The total enrollment: 377 men, and
547 women.

According to Nelson R. Freeman,
Veterans Counsellor, 120 veterans are
enrolled. Veteran enrollment is at a
minimum this year due to the expira-
tion of the G. I. Bill for World War II
veterans, staled Mr. Freeman.

The maximum veteran enrollment at
Savannah State was 555 in 1947, the
Veterans Counsellor added.

Chicago. (IP). A survey of wha
students actually ibink about in classes,
conducted by Benjamin S. Bloom, as-
sociate professor of education and ex-
aminer in the College of the University
of Chicago, reveals wide variations in
thinking that takes place.

The survey taken of students in five
lecture classes and in thirty discussion
groups showed that students spent
almost two-thirds of their time thinking
about the topic discussed or being lec-
tured on. The remaining third of the
lime their thoughts were irrelevant to
the elasswork.

In discussion classes, one-third oj
the thinking is made up of trying to
solve problems that come nut in the
discussion. About a quarter oj the time
is spent in thinking about people, in-
cluding oneself and the danger oj being
called on. In lectures, students spend
forty per cent of the time merely fol-
lowing the lecture, a different hind of
thinking from the problem solving in-
volved in discussion classes.

Persons suffering from anxiety, ac-
cording to tests, tended to think more

the

solve

abo

what

going on in olass.

The studies were made possible be-
cause of a new technique, called stimu-
lated recull, developed at the university
within the lust two years. By playing
tape recordings of classroom events
within two days after class, students
were able to recall 95 per cent of what
went on. The recordings served as a
stimulant to recalling their thoughts
as well.

Tips for instructors also come from
the study. One suggests that the wise-
crack or the telling phrase attracts loo
much attention itself, distracts the
student from ihe remainder of ihe
lecture. Five minutes after such a
phrase, students would vt ill be thinking
about it, instead of what Ihe professor
was trying to say. The instructor re-
garded as antagonistic by the students,
the one who disciplines the class into
line, gets more attention from ihe
students than do the ideas he presents.
They spend more time thinking ahout
him, less about what he says.

ambition was to become a missionary,
but she was so impressed by her high
school English teacher that she changed
her plans.

Cartrell bus, in addition to her regular
class duties, participated in many extra-
curricular activities. Among them are
the Cheering Squad and ihe Creative

love good music and dancing."

Chaplain Speaks
At Vespers

lain of the University of Georgia, spoke

"One, run from it, In that way you
will never reach your goal. Two, run
with it; and surely you will be defeat-
ed. Three, run, and be the master of
it this alone is success."

The chaplain ended his speech with
litis thought: "Jesus said, 'Whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake shall
find it'."

there." The College Choir, directed

November, 1952

LET US GIVE THANKS

When the weary Pilgrams first landed on the shore of this land
we call America, they had no premonition of the great Thanksgiving
celebrations which were to come. After much misfortune, they finally
succeeded in setting the pace for our great American heritage. After
having triumphed over many obstacles, they set aside a day on which
they would thank God for the success which the had achieved.

Today, Americans everywhere pause to give thanks to God on
Thanksgiving Day. As Americans, we have many things for which to
be thankful. We are groteful to God for life, for liberty, and for
the pursuit of happiness. Americans are grateful for the supreme law
of the land which guarantees freedom of speech, of the press, and of
religion. To God we give thanks for being ablt to pursue trie ob-
jectives of our choice without political domination.

Thanksgiving Day is one on which we should abandon our daily
routine and dedicate some time to reminiscence. By engaging in the
process of remembrance, we relive our past. Those vivid moments of
the past again become real to us. Not until then do we realize how
numerous our blessings have been, and the many reasons for which
we should thank God. Of course, there will be moments of despair,
as well as moments of pleasure. But we should pause and ask our-
selves the question: What is life except a series of misfortunes and
triumphs? It is a combination of the two which makes life challenging
and worth living.

After having considered the essence of life, we should find a
greater cause for which to give thanks to God.

The Church: A Living Influence

By Rose E. Curl ret I Vann

The must important function of ihe church is to provide a place
for worship. Through worship, people are brought closer to God.
Church music, readings, prayers, and services are aids to worship. A
good sermon, well expressed, will direct the thoughts and emotions of
the congregation toward better things of life.

The church inspires people to do right and avoid wrong. It urges
people In live according to the highest ideals of conduct. To develop
in every person a righteous character is one of the most important aims
of the church. The church emphasizes the higher, nobler, and purer
things of life. "People are like clocks." they need to be wound up to
keep true to the better things of life.

When times are very trying, church attendance helps us to
strengthen our ideals. In times of trouble the teachings of the church
give us faith and courage to carry on in spite of our difficulties. Even
though all people are not members of the church, and do not attend
its services, all are influenced indirectly by the church.

The church's constant emphasis on ideals of honesty, fair play.
kindness, helpfulness, and justice is sure to have an effect on the life
of the entire community and the nation.

SSG A BACKWARD GLANCE

Information given in the Savannah Slate College (then Georgia
State Industrial College) catalogue for the year 1907 reveals a number
of interesting facts.

According to this catalogue, no scholarships were offered that
year. The faculty desired lo secure 832.00 per student, "from philan-
thropic persons," for those deserving students who could not meet their
financial obligations.

Compare this with the Scholarship Drive that is being sponsored
this year by the Savannah State Alumni Association, ana 1 with the fact
that our present catalogue lias the following regarding scholarships:
"A limited number of special scholarships are available lo selected
students who meet the required standards of scholastic merit, high
character, general promise, and superior achievement in certain specific
areas oj the College program."

LONELINESS

By Nancy Kimhruugh Slack

Loneliness is a state I know.

It follows me wherever I go.

I thought I had escaped its haunt-
ing gra^p.

I felt safe, contented, and loved
at last.

Tonight I sit upon a silent hill.
And force my lonely heart to keep

still.
Self accusation will bring no

peace.
It's time for realities to begin
And daydreams to cease.

Stand not with me in these cold,

sunless morns.
Loneliness lias taken away all of

my promised dawns.

Tomorrow Never Comes

By Doris A. Sanders
It lias been written by sages,
And it has been sung in songs.
Don't put off today for tomorrow.
For tomorrow never comes.

Or some duty you must perform,
Do it today, not tomorrow.

For tomorrow never comes.

The Roving
Reporter

By Hermenia Mob ley

Do you think chapel attendance
should be compulsory?

"The cultural development of
an individual depends on his in-
tellect, interest, and attitude. Since
some students are not exposed to
certain cultural things at home,
they will not attempt to develop
this aspect of their education un-
less they are encouraged to do so.
or sometimes forced to do so.
Therefore. I think that chapel at-
tendance should be compulsory."
Elizabeth Haynes

rjphapel attendance should not
be compulsory. I don't think men
and women in college should be
compelled to do anything, fur when
a person is old enough to come
to college be is usually old enough
to decide, with a bit of guidance,
what he should do or what he
should attend. If chapel pro-
grams are made interesting and
inspiring, the student will go
without being compelled."

Agnes Bess
l^Kiion't think chapel should be
compulsory for the mere fact that
we. as college students, should be
self-reliant, diligent, and trust-
worthy. If we have these charac-
teristics we should not be com-
pelled to do anything, but we will
do only those things which are
intelligent."

Vneing a college student I think
it is unnecessary to compel one
to attend chapel. I think any col-
lege student would want to keep
up with the daily changes or the
activities which are carried on in
the college. By attending chapel
without being compelled, one gets
more out of chapel programs than
if he were compelled to attend.
If programs are interesting, it
would be unnecessary to compel
students to go to chapel."

Henry Praylo

Yes, the majority of the students
would not be present if chapel
were not compulsory.

Miriam Baeote

The chapel programs should be
so well planned so as to hold the
interest of the students. Then
they would not have to be com-
pulsory. Whether students should
attend chapel is left up to the stu-
dents. After all. college is sup-
posed to be an adult institution.
where men and women make their
own discussions. Rose M. Vann

Chapel attendance should be
compulsory in order for students
to obtain a wider scope of ideas
and values. James T. Gibbons

Yes. I think attendance regula-
tions relative lo chapel programs
should remain as they are. They
have proved to be effective for
many reasons which have been
explained. John Wat kins

I do not think that chapel at-
tendance should be compulsory.
The programs should be so chal-
lenging that students will go on
their own free will and enjoy them
so much they'll go every week.

Books in Review

By Martha L. Edwards
Stranger and Alone. J. Saunders
Redding. Harcourt. Brace and
Company. New York. 1950.

The novel. Stranger and Alone.
is based on the life of Shelton
Howden. a Negro who is malad-
justed, frustrated, and emotionally
upset. Howden suffers from a
complex which causes him to feel
isolated, and which causes other
students at his college to misunder-
stand and dislike him. For a long
time intensely anti-racial, Howden
carries a chip on his shoulder
until he meets Valerie Tillet. who
helps him to adjust to the other
students and to his college environ-

The author has uniquely exem-
plified how an individual may nor-
mally adjust himself to society
through understanding. The story
also points out the fact that some
people tend to live in the "night-
marc of race."

Cool shadows creep . . .

The sun sinks behind the hills . . .

The noises of day fade into the shadows . . .
And, like a thin fog. twilight
Silently closes in. . . .

Twilight at autumn. . , . Time hangs suspended on the brink of that
dim chasm which separates day and night. . . A- flock of birds dip
their wings in salute to the fast dying sun. and are swallowed up by the
abyss. . . . The rich golden colors of autumn lose their brilliance as
the shadows embrace them. ... I fill my lungs with pine-scented
air. ... I walk. . . . The soft carpet of grass that floors the valley
makes a swooshing sound as it gives under the weight of my steps. . . .

Twilight deepens ... a nightingale whistles a love lay. ... In
a moment the woods are deathly still. . . . The silence is almost audible.
and then it is broken by the trilling song of the answering mate. . . .
Through the trees, square patches of golden light peer unhlinkingly at
me like so many eyes. . . .

Two small children and a dog leap agilely across the path, following
a little road that leads to a small house off to the right. . . . Shuffling
behind them at about fifty paces is an old man whose steps are very
slow and uncertain. . . . His back is a curving arch, and he walks as if
a great weight is tied around his neck. ... He takes a hook-shaped
pipe from Ins mouth and blows a great cloud of smoke into the air. and
with a '/Howdy, young fellow," passes on. ... He reaches the yard,
opens a sagging gate and enters. ... As I watch him begin to mount
the steps. I think of a song that begins. "All things come home at
eventide." . . . High up in a tree the last of a flock of birds settles in
its nest. . . . The door bangs shut behind the ohl man. . . .

I walk on until I reach a narrow stream upon whose hanks I sit
down with my back against a tree. . . . The shadows are very deep
now. . . . The stream bubbles softly and disappears around the bend.
... 1 compose a lay to the dusk. . . .

"How beautiful is the dusk. ... Its blue-gray shadows so thin . . .
and yet so deep. ... Its breezes so cool and yet so soft. ... Its stars
so pale, and yet so bright. . . . How beautiful, how glorious is the dusk."

From an open window not far away, the enchanting melody of
Debussey's "Claire de Lune" drifts like smoke through the thick woods.
. , . High above the trees a thin crescent moon pronounces the benedic-
tion of the day. . . .

How To Graduate
The Plagiary Way

tACP) Princeton University admin-
istrators discovered last week that two
members of the 1952 graduating class
forged their senior theses in "one of
the most flagrant examples of plagiar-
ism" ever attempted at Princeton.

Both men, members of the English
and Modern Languages department,
were iound to have -ubmitled almost
exact copies of master's theses stolen
from the Columbia University library
last winter . When faced with the evi-
dence, both admitted the work was not
their own, but denied outside help or
having paid for the theses.

No disciplinary measures have been
announced. Two years ago there were
numerous reports of New York agents
receiving up to S700 for the forging
of theses for Princeton seniors.

A PROGRAM FOR ACTION

By Johnny Paul Jones

Athletic Director Theodore A. Wright and Head Coach John
Martis form a team of hard-working, untiring workers who love
athletics and live with llie competition it fosters. The Savannah State
Athletic department tries to develop real men and women who will
contribute to the welfare of the race, the nation, and the world.

The student athletes arc taught the fundamentals of football,
basketball, and track. The athletic slaff expects these young men and
women to use these fundamentals in later life as they go out into the
world to become useful citizens.

The SSC Alumni Association has an obligation to these young men
and women who give of their time and efforts to bring glory and
honor to our Alma Mater.

Graduation and the Korean conflict have taken their toll of the
athletic program at State. The Alumni Association needs to do some
spade work among the boys and girls in high schools in every city
where there are Savannah State graduates.

The Association eould sponsor Scholarship aid programs for
deserving athletes and musicians. (A good band is conducive to a
good athletic program.)

This would give SSC the comeback in hand and athletic standing
that its supporters dream about.

The Gl Bill:
No Free Rides

(ACPI The new CI bill is tougher
than the old one. A veteran now must
declare his major as soon as he enters
school, and he's entitled to just one
change during his college career.

And the change is not easy to get.
The vet has to show he is not guilty
of misconduct, neglect or lack ol appli-
cation. Then he must take a battery
of tests. If he gets through unscathed.
be can change bis major.

Here are the main points in the new
bill: The veteran will be paid a lump
sum each month. Out of this sum
he must pay tuition and all other
expenses. Tuition payments generally
run about one-third of his total allol-

It's up to the campus vet's instruc-
tors to turn in monthly progress reports
to the Veterans Administration. Serious
trouble can result if these reports are
delayed or if they are not turned in by
the instructors.

promote fine womanhood, and promote
unity among women." In addition, the
president said, the sorority anticipates
having a play, December 3, entitled,
"The Girl With Two Faces." They also
plan a Spring Formal, which is lo be a
very elaborate affair. They anticipate a
chapel program sometime after Christ-
mas, and as of now, they arc working
on a Chrislmas project.

Studentship:
10 Easy Gambits

ACP) Here are "10 Ways to Get
Through College Without Even Try-
ingli" as written in Pageant magazine
by Prof. Robert Tyson of Hunter
College:

1. Bring the professor newspaper
clippings dealing with bis subject. If
you don't find clippings dealing with
his subject, bring clippings at random.
He thinks everything deals with his

2. Look alert. Take notes eagerly.
If you look at your watch, don't stare
at it unbelievingly and shake it.

3. Nod frequently and murmur "'How
true!" To you, this seems exagger-
ated, To him, it's quite objective.

4. Sit in front, near him. (Applies
only if you intend lo stay awake). . . .

5. Laugh at his jokes You can
tell. If he looks up from his notes
and smiles expectantly, be has told a
joke.

6. Ask for outside reading. Yoh
don't have lo read it. Just ask.

7. If you must sleep, arrange to be
called at the end of the hour. It cre-
ates an unfavorable impression if (he
rest of the class has left and you sit
there alone, dozing.

8. Be sure the book you read during
the lecture looks like a hook from ihe
course. If you do math in psychology
class and psychology in malh class,
match the books for size and color.

9. Ask any questions you think be
can answer. Conversely, avoid announc-
ing that you have found the answer to
a question he couldn't answer, and in
your younger brother's second reader
at that.

10. Call attention lo his writing.
Produces an exquisitely pleasant ex-
perience connected with you. If you
know he's written a hook or an article,
ask in class if he wrote it.

ihe contributions of the several disci-
plines to problem solving in life areas
of mutual concern.

Students have urged such a course
almost from the time the divisional
major wa< inaugurated in December,
1948. The course for the new academic
year will consist of fourteen topics of

SSC Bows to
M'House In
Homecoming Tilt

The Tigers fell before the Morehouse
Maroon Tigers, 7-2. in the Homecoming
gridiron contest, witnessed by 5,000
partisan fans, November 7. The first
half saw Savannah Slale roll up 110
yards rushing and passing but failing
to score. Morehouse moved down to
the Savannah State three, hut failed to
score before the half.

Charles Cozart, freshman back from
Rockwood, Tennessee, proved to be the
star of the game as he unlinibered his
arm and passed for 20 and 30 yards
at a lime for SSC.

When Morehouse kicked off for the
second half, Roscoe Brewer returned
the kick back ten yards. Cozart passed
for 20 yards lo move the ball up lo the
fifty, and Captain Willie Frank John-
son moved the ball to the Morehouse
50. Four plays later, Claudie Roberts
attempted to kick a field goal from
Ihe 25 but it was wide.

Morehouse look the ball on the 20
and failed to gain. State look over,
bui was penalized for roughness, 15
yards, and again for off side. Cozart
again unlinibered his passing arm and
hit McDaniel for 20 yards. On the
next play, Cozart passed again for 20.
After Ihe SSC Tigers moved into More
house's territory, ihey failed to score,
and Morehouse took over. After the
ball bad changed several limes as the
two evenly matched teams failed to
develop the power necessary 1 to carry
thm over the goal line. Morehouse
passed to the end zone to end the
scoreless game. The extra point was
good and Morehouse led in the last five
minutes of the game, 7-0.

On the kick-off, Claudie Roberts re-
turned ihe ball to the 35. Cozart passed
to Collier to move ihe ball to the More-
house 35. On the next play, a More-
house player intercepted a pass thrown
by Claudie Roberts and was tackled
behind the goal line to give SSC a
safety.

Bethune-Cookman
Wallops State, 67-0

The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats ran
up a total of six first downs and 427
yards rushing, to defeat the SSC Tigers,
67-0. before a home crowd of 3,000.
under the lights at Savannah.

Wallace Rasberry, Clayd Sanders, and
William O'Parrow combined running,
passing, and kicking to overpower the
inexperienced, predominantly freshman
Savannah team. Leonard Sims, 150 lb.
freshman back from the Wayne County
High School. Jesup, was ihe ouistand-
ing player for Stale. Sims picked up
138 yards rushing for the Tigers.

Captain Willie Frank Johnson played
his usual game, putting all the effort
and spirit possible into the clash. Add-
ing support were William Weather-
spoon, Charlie Cozart, James Ashe,
Claudie Roberts, and John "Big Bruis-
er" Johnson. Johnson, 255 lb. tackle,
got going by making several spectacu-
lar plays in throwing Wildcat ball car-
riers for a loss.

The Tiger passing attack failed to
produce a touchdown, but the young
team showed potentialities of coming
greatness.

Elizabeth City
Takes Victory

Elizabeth City, Uct. 4. The smooth
sailing Pirates of Elizabeth City Teach-
ers College topped the SSC Tigers be-
fore a capacity crowd of approximately
1600 strongly partisan fans, on October
4, with a score of 31-0. The SSC team,
composed mainly of freshmen, was out-
classed in every area except punting.

Lee Bolh, PirHle back, drew blood
on an off-lacklc run of ten yards to
score. The kick was wide and the
score stood at 6-0.

Just before the half ended ihe Pirates
struck again with a pass play from
Davis to Randall in the same zone. The
half ended 12-0 in favor of Elizabeth
City.

SSC backs, Claudie Roberts and
Charlie Co/art showed fire in their first
college game. Merrill and Weather-
spoon also stood out for Slale.

'Bama Hornets
Get Revenge

bama State Hornets, seeking revenge
for last year's defeat by the Tigers, out-
scored the Tigers-in a running, passing
game, 34-7, before a crowd of nearly
2,000 in the Hornet Stadium, at Mont-
gomery.

'Bama State struck five limes by air
and ground and scored a safety, while
SSC's lone tally was on a pass play
from Claudie Roberts lo Walter Cook.
The point after touchdown was on a
pass from Charlie Cozart to L. J. Mc-
Daniel. Roscoe Brower and William
Weatherspoon played a fine game for
Savannah, and Captain Willie Frank
Johnson proved to be a throw-back to
ihe old "sixty-minute man" in football.

While Captain Johnson was the out-
standing player for SSC, Sampson
Collon, Clarence Seldon, and Cornell
Torrence proved lo he the 'Bama State
victory combination.

Morris Defeats
SSC Tigers

Morris College defeated the SSC
Tigers, 37-0, before 2,000 fans at the
Savannah State Athletic Field, October
17. Savannah State outplayed the SEAC
champions, but Morris scored on a
68-yard drive by Eddie Johnson al the

Jack Hill to Smith Payne. Sam Joser
kickeil ihe extra point.

Backs Claudie Roberts. Frank John-
son, James Collier, and Roscoe Brower,
and lineman Randy Cilbert starred for
Savannah.

tACP) Football coaches will no
longer double as entertainers, accord-
ing to the new code of elhics laid down
last winter by the American Football
Coaches Association. The code must
be approved at this winter's meeting.

From then on, says the Association,
it will be unethical for coaches to "pick
weekly game winners or to participate
in football polls or rating systems ..."
and lo "show movies of critical plays
lo sportscaslers, sportswritcrs, alumni
and the puhlic which may incite them
to label officials as incompelent. ..."

idea.

To be utterly frank (and there's no
sense in being frank without being utter
about it) the show is a direct takeoff
on Meet the Press, Miss Hagy is a
slightly more personable on TV at
least Martha Roundtree. Her guests
are national figures willing to be put
on the spot. The switch is that Junior
Press Conference's questioner) are col-
lege newspaper reporters instead of
their more experienced and blase col-
leagues from the metropolitan dailies.
A Healthy Thing

The "yoot" of America, heretofore
the personal properly of John (Ox)
DaGrosa, thus are given an opportunity
to conduct an inquisition in their own
articulate, if somewhat rambunctious
fashion. It makes for good television,
asideaside from the fad that it's a
darned healthy thing for all of us.

Occasionally we have seen Theo-
dore Granik and his Youth Wants to
Know program in Philadelphia. Granik
fills a studio with 50 high school boys
and girls and lets them fire questions
at such interesting people as Governor
Dewey and Rudolph Halley. Unfortu-
nately, because of the large number
of quizzers, the questions have to be
pretyy well set in advance and there's
little lime to develop a subject ade-
quately.
A Free-For-AU

Junior Press Conference, by u>ing the
Meet the Press format, is more of a
free-for-all. And since the questioners
arc college rather than high school
students, they are equipped with more
background and, if possible, more ten-
acity. Lost Sunday's junior Lawrence
Spivaks included lads from Penn ami
North Carolina, and girls from North-
western and Beaver. Their victims
were Senator and Mrs. Estes Kefauver.

Their subject was "Corruption" as
it relates to the current political cam-
paign, but the Senator found himself
talking about such matters as Senator
Sparkman's voting record on civil rights
measures. Governor Stevenson's accept-
ance of support from Jake Arvey and
President Truman, Dwighl D. Eisen-
hower's plan lo visit Korea, and why
he, Senator Kefauver, wasn't nominated
at Chicago.

standpoint."

He staled that he hopes to have a

chance to "record some of tin- campus
scenes artistically."

Mr. Hampton is married and has one
child.

Senator Neglected

Not thai the corruption issue was
forgotten. Indeed the questioners
found themselves answering one an-
other at one point and the Senator
and his pretty wife were all but neg-
lected in the hot interchange between
the gentleman from North Carolina and
the very determined young lady from
Heaver College.

Miss Hagy, if I may venture a small
criticism, talks too much hut not often
enough. Her introductions could be
shorter, and her infrequent interrup-
tions to get the show back on subject
should be condensed into fewer words.
It might be a good idea lo have a little
more discipline on the program, too
with the questioners looking to her for
recognition instead of speaking directly

i the f

est.

Near Anonymity

The students operated last Sunday
in near anonymity, the audience catch-
ing their names at the outset, but
having no other means of identifying
them other than their little desk signs
which carried the names of their col-
leges. At one point Senator Kefauver
himself addressed Nell Cayley of Beaver
College as "Miss Beaver."

TV audiences have a wide choice
of discussion programs in which ex-
perts lake basic aspects of politics for
granted and spend most of their time
on fine points. It's refreshing lo hear
a question like, "But what can I do
myself, as an individual, about corrup-
tion in Government?" as wc heard
Sunday from Patricia McGwire of
Northwestern University,

The Philadelphia Inquirer Tuesday.
October 28. 1952.

PROFILE
OF A COED

By Margaret B. Wiltz

Johnnie Mao Cruise, of Screven
County, the daughter of Mr. and Mr>.
Earnest Cruise, was born on May 23.
1933. There are eight children in her
family, two boys and sia girls.

Johnnie Mae attended Harris, a pub-
lic school, for two years, after which
she became totally blind. For nine
years she attended the Georgia Acad-
emy for the Blind, in Macon.

"Miss Josephine Johnson, a teacher
at the Academy, was my favorite teach-
er, for she helped me adjust to the
new siluation," said Johnnie Mae,.

Mrs, Ed Fisher, a summer student,
influenced Johnnie Mae in selecting
Savannah State College. "I came here
because I like secrelarial work. How-
ever. 1 ant more interested in music."
the personable coed added.

When asked about her adjustment
lo college life, Johnnie Mae said, "The
classes are fine ami I do not find them
loo difficult because I memorize well.
In fact I depend on my memory for
everything."

Miss Cruise, whose hobbies include
collecting classical records, stated that
two of her most interesting experience-
were playing for the Lounge Club in
Macon, and traveling alone to visit her
aunl who lives in Miami.

"The students at Savannah State are
wonderful," asserted Miss Cruise. She
interprets the campus as a circle, with
many heauiiful Irees, laden with moss,
with a beautiful lawn, and fine

;.in;,!i',_-

Johnnie Mae's plans for the future
include a job, traveling, and marriage.

Conservation Program
Expanded at Yale

New Haven, Conn. (7.P.1 Yale Uni-
versity is expanding into the under-
graduate level its graduate Conserva-
lion Program started iwo years ago.
First step in the expansion is a new
course. "Plants and Man," which is
being offered for the first time this
fall to liveral arts as well as science
students here.

The move is viewed as concrete evi-
dence of the success of the Concer-
vatiou Program at Yale, one of the
country's first graduate set-ups devoted
entirely to research and instruction in
the conservation ol natural resources.
The pragram has attracted nation-wide
interest in the academic world since
its inception. The department will
award Master of Science in Conser-
vation degrees to graduate students of
the two-year course.

Many colleges and universities are
studying the possibility of starting de-
partments similar lo Yale's, according
to Prof. Paul B. Sears, head of the
program. Requests for information
mounted last year to such an extent
that a folder on the plan was issued
and has been mailed out widely,

of the College, according to Dr. E. K.
Williams, acting dean of faculty.

In interpreting this statement, Dr.
Williams showed that, in some deifrl-
menls, adjustments have been made,
based upon experiences gained last
year.

In the business department, there
have been several adjustments to meet
th needs of those who wish to get only
practical experience in business, and
are not interested in working toward
a degree. One of llie revised courses
is Typing. This course, in the past
unaccredited, is now a regularly cred-
ited course.

In the field of education, changes
have been made to accommodate the
new block schedule for certain educa-
tion courses. School Community and
Curriculum, and Human Growth and
Learning have been united lo form one
block course which carries eight credit
hours. By doing this, more time is
allotted, and conflict with other classes
is praitically eliminated, the dean said.
/'"Dr. Williams also indicated other
changes in the academic program. This
year, all freshmen were required to take
the English Placement Test, the Mathe-
matical Plan Tesl. and the Psycholo-

freshmen were placed. In the cases of
failure to meet minimum lest standards,

Vol. VI. No. 2

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

South of "South of the Border'

B> Irank Prince

My trips to South America
have taken me to four different
countries. In these countries, we
find different customs and ways
cif life in comparison to the North
American way.

In 1946. the Olympic team of
the epublic of Panama, of which
I am a member, prepared itself
for the Central American and Car-
ibbean Gaines that were to be
played at Barranquilla, Colombia.
The procedures that constituted
the securing of a passport to enter
the neighboring country were not
too severe due to the fact that I
was travelling as an official of
the Panamanian government.

On December 17. we flew from
Balboa, Canal Zone, into the out-
skirts of the city of Barranquilla.
When we arrived at the airport,
we were greeted by delegates of
the Colombian Olympic Commit-
tee, and a host of mosquitoes.

We traveled from the airport to
the center of the city, a distance
df about fifteen miles, in a large
omnibus. On the road we no-
ticed the different scenes that gave
a picture of the customs of the
people of that city. There were
burros carrying loads, a replica
of the days of Christ; there were
-nlso carts drawn by oxen, ind
women with loads on their heads
and babies in their arms. These
scenes carried our minds back to
the pictures ive see in books about
foreign lands.

In the city we passed the Pala-
cio del Presidente (the President's
Palace), where we were astounded
by the beautiful uniforms worn
by the presidential guards, and b>
the architectural beauty of the
building. We also saw the statue
of Simon Bolivar, the great South
American emancipator
Traveling Is Fun and Education
Combined.

The following year, 1947, I went
on a similar trip to the beautiful
silver mining country of Peru.
Traveling by day over the great
Andes mountains was both thrill-
ing and frightful thrilling be-
cause of the privilege of observing
from air this great mountain
range and the craters within it:
frightful because of the unex-
pected and unpredicted stalling of
the plane's motors. Of course,
we all realized what would happen
if we fell: those solid mountain
ranges told us.

We landed at Limaloba Airport,
a ten-minute ride from the city,
and were welcomed by, not mos-
quitoes this lime, but by 45-degree
weather for which we were un-
prepared. We were unprepared
because we did not have top-coals.
In Panama we do not use this
wearing apparel because the tem-
perature there does not drop be-
low 65. We are situated, geograph-
ically, in the torrid zone. So one
can just imagine how we felt in
this strange land.

From the airport, we were es-
corted into the city by a motor-
cade of six motorcycle policemen.
Thi6 we enjoyed very much due
to the added attraction of having
the populace attracted to our cars.
We arrived at our scheduled [dace
of residence, making the ten-min-
ute trip in about seven minutes.
This place. Escuela Militar Na-
tional (National Military School)
is situated near one of the chief
seaports of Peru, Callao.

Our stay in this land of the
Pampas, as it is seldom called, was
very enjoyable. Besides accom-
plishing our mission of partici-
pating in track and field events,
we made a tour of the country-
side, and some interior sections.
The average standard of living
there is far below that of the
people of the United States. In
comparison, my home is about on
the level of the U. S. Techno-
logically, the U. S. is far superior
to both mentioned countries.

On our trip around Peru we
saw llamas, a very rare animal
which is found almost exclusively
in Peru. We also had the privi-
lege of seeing a mountain, a sec-
tion of the Great Andes, that has
a snow cap twelve months a year.
Here the people ski all the year
round. Silver is mined extensive-
ly in this land of the Aztecs. Here
one will find this metal as cheap
as plastic is to people in the U. S.
The people are very friendly and
sociable. Spanish, of course, is
llie language spoken.

Self-Help Building
Program Success
At Wilmington

WILMINGTON. 0., Oct. 20 (IP)-
The student body and faculty of Wil-
mington College are cooperating on
their third major-self-help campus
building program. Four years ago they
made educational history in headlines
when they began construction in the
volunteer work thai made possible a
new 100-mati dormitory. This lime the
co-eds and fellows are helping to build
a new fine-arts center; a one-story
classroom wing of the new auditorium.

A committee of 30 students and live
faculty members considered and ap-
proved the suggestion that the college
community share in the construction of
the new $400,000 campus addition. A
six member executive committee was
appointed, and is directing the organi-
zation of a program for this purpose.

Two years ago the student body and
faculty erected a new athletic stadium.
and in between the students have been
using excess energy and enthusiasm to
renovate the chapel, fix up some build-
ings on the college farm and even
help redecorate the local children's
home, ft has become a Wilmington
tradition for the members of the col-
lege family to help do it themselves
whenever there is a job to be done.

have four cuts to each assembly month.
The rules governing assembly attend-
ance include the following:

1. One over-cut to four during any
one assembly month shall be made
up during the next assembly
month. More than four over-culs,
up ot eight shall be made up dur-
ing the two succeeding assembly
months. Over-cutting more than
eight times during an assembly
month shall he considered a sec-
ond offense and the student in-
volved shall appear at once before
the Faculty Student Board.

2. If over-cuts are made up in the
period asigned, any subsequent
over-cuts shall be considered a
first offense.

A. Over cutting which occurs in the

last month of an academic year

Co Captains Willie Frank Johnson
and Roscoe Browet played their last
collegiate football game in the Thanks-
giving clash with Paine.

"To be a good athlete requires in-
telligent concentration and spontaneous
coordination on the part of the player,"
according to Willie Frank Johnson, co-
captain of the Tigers. Johnson is a
senior majoring in physical education.

A native of St. Petersburg, Florida,
Johnson was graduated from Hutto
High School, Bainhridge, Georgia, in
1949. He was the fourth honor stu-
dent out of a class of fifty-five. While
at Hutto High, this versatile student
distinguished himself by being the
recipient of three varsity letters in
soflball, basketball, and track.

Aside from being a leader in the
field of sports, Johnson served as the
president of his class four consecutive

After visiting Savannah State in the
spring of 1919, Johnson immediately
decided lo become a part of this pro-
gressive institution. He said, "[ was

Johnson was elected co-captain of the
football leam for 19tti.

"It pays to be industrious," said
Johnson. Proof of his belief in this
statement is the fact that this busy
student is employed as an assistant in
the College Bookstore.

Being aware of the fact that a stu-
dent must develop socially as well as
mentally and physically, Johnson is
interested in entering Greekdom. He
is a member of ihe Sphinx Club of
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.

Co-Caplain Roscoe Brower is a na-
tive of Thoniasville, Georgia. A sen-
ior majoring in industrial arts, Brower
served as captain of the football team
at Douglas High School, 1948-49.

Very versatile when it comes* to
sports, Brower earned three letters in
football, one in baseball, and one in
track while in high school.

Brower also participated in the Y. M.
C. A., the Hi-Y Club, and served as
assistant junior scoutmaster while at-
tending Douglas High.

In September, 1949, Brower entered
Savannah State where he immediately
became a member of the football team,
the Men's Glee Club, the Y. M. C. A.,
and the Varsity Club.

In 1952, Brower received the Cer-
tificate of Merit in General Woodwork
and Carpentry from the Division of

$resibent'< Christmas jHegsage

Christmas for the year 1952 should be very real to all age groups
in America especially to young men and women in our colleges. The
traditional joys and merriment associated with Christmas increase in
value and charm as one develops toward maturity. The rich heritage
of American youth whetted by college training opens new avenues for
a genuine enjoyment of this season of the year. American, ideals,
institutions, and progress provide for each one every year greater
opportunity to share and enjoy the season. May your Christinas this
year be the best because you have helped to make it so.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

December, 1952

Peace On The Earth, Good Will To Men

It came upon the midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earlh

To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earlh, good will to men.

From heaven's all-gracious King "
The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.

These beautiful lines were written by Edmund Hamilton Sears,
an American author and Unitarian clergyman. He was inspired. I
believe, by the great story of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Today we are grateful to this author for his contribution of the
beautiful carol. Whenever we hear its melodious tune, our minds are
immediately focused on Christmas. Christmas, though abstract in a
sense, is a day which all people of the Christian faith look upon as
being both solemn and joyful.

Nearly two thousand years ago. some poor shepherds, while
tending their flocks at night, received the heavenly heralds of Jesus'
birth. The shepherds little realized that they would be a part of the
moving chronicle of the Saviour of mankind.

As the Bible tells us, however, there was one man who. for his
selfish ends, wanted to send gifts to the infant King. He told the
Wise Men to locate the Child and return to him so that he. too, could
share the joy of His arrival. Herod was afraid of Christ's becoming
King of Kings. However, his scheming did not work and the Child
King grew up to die for the remission of our sins ,as was prophesied by
the sages.

In our modern world, we have media of communication and trans-
portation more adequate and faster than that of the days of Christ.
We are privileged to celebrate the natal day of our great Saviour with
added splendor and appreciation.

We look forward to the celebration of Christmas with a prepara-
tion second to no other. We put aside our chores to greet our friends.
Our children look forward to receiving gifts from jolly old Santa
Claus. We eat and drink as if we had never eaten before and would
never again. Our homes are decorated to the best of our abilities.
Yes, Christmas, the birthday of our Saviour, is more to us than our
own natal days.

Yet, with solemnity, we give thanks unto God for this glorious
day. We offer up a heartfelt wish that each Christmas celebration
bring us nearer to that day when there shall be "Peace on earth, good
will to men." Frank Prince

Choosing A Career

When we come to thai decisive stage in our lives where we must
choose a life career, or ever earn our livelihood by sources we find al
random, we are forced to cope with one of life's greatest problems. It
is then that one must be able to examine his various capabilities, his
likes and dislikes, his interests, and his greatest ambition.

Choosing a career is a problem to man). In deciding how we will
earn our living, many of us refuse to face reality. We hide from our-
selves those little faults we have, which may prove to be a handicap to
us in our chosen career. We deceive ourselves into thinking that they
will disappear as time goes by. We decide to earn our living in a
certain way and ignore obstacles which may thwart our success. In
doing this we tell ourselves that "time will cure all ills." and we forget
that "there are exceptions to every rule."

When we think of a career we think of a way in which to earn
our livelihood. To many a career means nothing more Perhaps manv
of us would acquire a higher status during the course of our careers
if we would be more liberal in ou rthinking when we are choosing them.
Success would probably come to many more people if. in choosing a
life's work, they would think more of what they have to offer society,
rather than what society has to offer them.

When one attempts to begin preparation for a career he should
ask himself the question: How can I serve society best? We should
remember that not until society deigns us worthy do we achieve suc-
cess. It might appear to the individual that he is responsible for his
success in society, but this is not entirely true. The degree to which
one is able to prescribe his cure for society's ills is also the degree to
which he achieves status in society and personal satisfaction.

People who serve society best discover their greatest talent some-
where along life's way- When they have discoverd what thv do best
they incessantly strive to make every possible improvement. Those who
obtain the greatest fame and recognition usually do so by indefatigably
striving toward the perfection of the work which they have dedicated
their lives to. They do not deceive themselves about their capabilities
or interest but face courageously the obstacles which confront them in
their quest for success.

When one chooses a profession there are many things which he
should consider other than his present qualifications. He should be
able to anticipate, if not to a great extent, what will probably be his
destiny in the career which he has chosen. One should ask himself
such questions as the following: Will 1 become bored or discouraged
after having begun my life's work? Will I be witling to tolerate the
annoyances peculiar to my profession? Will I have the courage to con-
tinue in my profession after undergoing strain and stress?

The problem of choosing a career is one which can be solved
without great difficulty if one is willing to perform the necessary self-
examination. One may think that such an examination is not
important, but it becomes evident after one has begun to make prepa-
rations for a career.

Choosing a career can be accomplished without much difficulty if
every one who plans to enter some type of profession will first become
entirely acquainted with himself and learn how he can serve society
best. Dorothy M. Bess

The Saracen Blade. By Frank Yer-
by. Dial Press. New York, 1952.

Frank Yerby has again produced a
best seller in The Saracen Blade. This
novel is the gallant story of the thir-
teenth cenlury and of two youths.
Pieiro di Donati, the son of a black-
smith, and Frederick die Second of
Hohenslaufen were strangely related
in a way though one was a com-
moner or "baseborn," the oilier an Em-
porer ihey were horn on the same
day. As (he mysticism of the day fol-
lowed, they were linked by their stars.

When, a* hoys, lliey met for the first
time they -hared a close bond, a bond
of spirit, temperament, and intellect
that surpassed a blood relationship.

The world that Pietro shared was a
time of brightness a world of nation
against nation, of maidens of radiant
beauty, with long hair in nets of gold
thread, ami attired in silk and samite,
velvet and ermine, "hejeweled noble-
men Haunting the arrogant insignia of
their proud houses." It was Pielro's
world.

It was during ibis thirteenth century
world ol fanalic and heretic, of Christ-
ian and Saracen, Sicilian and German
that Pietro had to make his way Pietro
alone was unfitted for this world in
which he was cast.

Though in stature, he was "small anil
delicate, soft-hearted and gentle," his
brain was keen as the edge of a Sara-
cen blade.. Frederick, his "star broth-
er," and the Jew Isaac "taught him
the wisdom of the East.'

Iolanthe. the daughter of a great
baron, loved Pietro at first sight, and
was hopelessly separated from hint by

This is a dynamic, fast moving story
depicting the event sof history. It is
the heart warming anil rending story
of the defeats and triumphs of a serf.

The author has a swift, colorful style,
and is quite successful in depicting the
color scenes of real life.

This was the key problem facing

coming up in a number of differeni
disguises throughout lite three days.

A part of this question centered

only do they have ihe right lo take a
stand, but that "it is your duty." Com-
paring the school administration with a
publisher, he said, "If an edilor finds
himself in basic disagreement with the
publisher, be shouldn't be working for
him."

But John Tebbel, vice-chairman of
the New York University journalism
department, felt that the analogy was
false. The administration could not
be likened to a publisher of a metro-
politan newspaper.

An informal poll taken at the con-
ference showed that more iban half
of the editors had already taken a
stand on the presidential election. A
lew others -aid they were planning lo
lake a position, but would allow a
minority of the staff to write a dis-
senting editorial.

This brought up the problem of who
is entitled to speak (or the newspaper.
The following groups of persons were
suggested:

The school administration or the pub-
lications adviser. Reason: They are
the true publishers and policy makers.

The entire staff. Reason: The staff
puts out the paper and deserves a
voice in shaping policy.

The editor. Reason: Only he can
decide, for he is the one ultimately
responsible lo the readers and the ad-
ministration. Otherwise, the staff could
shape policy contrary to the editor's
will.

You smile . . . your eyes i

It's the last day in November.
South. The sun is almost gone .
up into the heavens as if in prayer . . . prayer

The evening is lovely. ... It makes one feel glad to be alive. The
air is sharp with a tang of winter, yet it is warm and scented . . with
a fragrance that belongs only to fall. . . . The Autumn leaves sift down
in great showers, as if they know that this is their last day . . . their
last hours. . . . We walk through the gathering shadows, you and I,
watching autumn fall in death. My heart is sad, and I wonder how it
will be whin autumn is gone. . . . Autumn with its skies so blue, and
its harvest so brown, its rains so heavy, its colors so bright, and its
evenings so full of peace and tranquillity. . . .

A wandering breeze kisses your cheek, and sends your hair float-

Or should I say the bitterness of some realities. . . . For this is reality
and by all that is truthful it is not bitter.

Yes, this is ours. . . . Many times have we sat here and seen the

embers ... to be rekindled again. . . .

The Night

By James B. Slater

The night is like an empty space.
It seems as if everybody's dead
The birds, the bees, lite human

race.
Nothing is heard, nothing is said.

The silence seems like a world

itself,
In a world of night.
Silence seems to rejoice
Now that day is out of sight.

And the night seems to have a

peaceful light
That can only he found in the

dark.
Bui through the darkness it

shines bright.
And only the night knows where

it parks.

Then there comes a beaming

light,

The dawn of what is day.

The night will drift out of sight.
And the silence will fade away.

Colby Analyzes
Arts College Aims

Faterwlle, Me. i/.P.l Colby Col-
lege is well aware of the national trend
of self-examination in conncciion with
the evaluation and improvement of lib-
er arts education and is conducting
several projects of ils own in line with
it.

According to President Julius S.
Bixler, the theme of this year's con-
vocation, celebrating the completion of
the new Maflower Hill campus, will
be an attempt to analyze ihe problems
an arts college faces and the changes
that are vital for the justified existence
of these colleges.

Dean Ernest Marriricr also stressed
the importance of the convocation. He
said that it will help to show whai can
he done in our local situation to strike
the correal balance of core courses
humanities, sciences, and social sci-

Dean Marriner said thai the attempt
lo improve faculty-student relationships
was another important slcp in the im-
provement of the college. He feels
that the present technique recogniz-
ing the faculty as one governing body
and the Student Council as another,
with the Joint Committee for a clearing
house Ms the right one.

The problem now is bow student
opinion can reach the fundamental
authority, be said, since the faculty
cannot act on all matters. "There are
faculty- trustee dinners; why not stu-
dent government-trustee dinners?" he
asked.

Bolh President Bixler and Dean
Marriner cited the work of the Aca-
demic Council, a group made up of the
heads of all departments. This body-
is "rethinking the liberal aris pro-
gram." and has taken the work former-
ly done by the curriculum committee
on revitalizing the Colby curriculum."

Another group examining the prob-
lem and, specifically the phase of more
effective leaching, is the local chapter
of the American Association of Uni-
versity Professors. One of the points
ihis group has made is the need for
more adequate recognition of students
of superior interest and ability. A
committee of the AAUP has suggested
a Senior Fellowship program. The
committee feels that the program would
he "an exceedingly valuable means of
recognizing exceptional academic
achievement and ... a step in the di-
rection of a more general honors pro-
gram."

According to the plan, certain
designated seniors, would he alowed
lo pursue a program of individual
studies under the guidance of a mem-
1 er of the faculty, in lieu of a certain
portion of the cuslomary semester re-
tpiircments during their senior year.
Tin- students, selected by a faculty com-
mittee, would meet with the faculty
consultant as often as the instructor
thinks desirable. A written reporl at
the end of the program would be sub-
milted in duplicate, and one copy would
be deposited in the college library.

What Is Christmas?

B\ Timothy l". Ryals

What does Christmas mean to
you?

I truly would like to know.

Is it just another holiday

That all of us adore?

Is it the day when all mankind

Should give praise to Him above;

To how and show sincerity,

Courtesy and love?

Is it the day when children are
hopeful and gay?

When peace descends, like a dove
in flight?

Or when the stars shine brightly
in the night?

Is it a time when happiness

Should abide in all the earth,

When people of all nations

Celebrate Christ's birth?

To me, it is a day to commem-
orate.

One of the greatest in the year.

To show your love and appre-
ciation

To One Who always shares.

He is the great lnimanuel

Who brought peace, goodwill to
men.

And throughout eternal ages

He will in glory reign.

IN THE TIGER'S DEN

Roaring Tigers
Trip Paine
Lions, 20-6

Savannah Stale closed its 1952 grid
season with a smashing victory over
the highly favored Paine College Lions,
20(5. The well-experienced Lions lasl
year held the Tigers to a 6-6 tie. This
year, the Tigers developed a tricky
offensive to suit the predominantly
freshman players who displayed an
explosive brand of football that her-
alds the Martinmen as threats to the
SE.AC powers next year.

Freshman tailback Charles Cozart
spread bis ends wide on the flanks
and passed the Paine Lions dizzy for
three iiuarters. Tiger Cnplain Willie
Frank Johnson sang his swan song
in a blaze of glory. Johnson snagged
a Court paw and scored easily in the
second quarter and swept around end
to score the extra point.

Five minutes later, L. J. McDamels,
fre-dunan end from Calhoun, caught
a 35-yard pass from Cozart and romped
down the sidelines 40 yards to score.
The try for the extra point was wide.
The half ended with State leading 13-0.

On the second play of the third
quarter, Paine fumbled and State re-
covered. Three plays later, Willie
Frank Johnson hit paydirt on a drop
kick by Cozart. The remainder of
the game was played on Paine territory.

The 1500 Turkey Day fans were
brought to their feet when Johnson
intercepted a Paine pass and galloped
fifty yards to score. However, an off-
side penalty againsl State nullified the
score.

Head Coach John Martin and his
assistants, \1 Fra/.ier and Henry Bow
man, finally got the sputtering Tiger
grid machine in gear and exploded
from the "T" to overrun Paine in a
spectacular game of power.

Making this possible were W. F.
Johnson. John Johnson, Charles Cozart,
Gardner Hobbs, Willie Ruffin. James
Collier. Marvin Pittman, Curtis King.
Clinton Reese, Earl Terry, Leonard
Sims, Jefferson Rogers, and James
Ashe. Ashe, "the Cianl Killer," is
the smallest man on the squad and
has proved to be the best defensive
player.

Tigers Defeated
By Claflin, 32-0

The SSC Tigers lost to a victory-
hungry Claflin team, 32-0, before a
Founders Day-Homecoming crowd in
Orang-hurg. November 22. Stale rolled
up 200 yards rushing and passing, but
failed lo develop a scoring punch.

Slate, operating from the "T" with
Freshman Q. B. Charles Cozart in the
slot, attempted 17 passes, completing
6 and having two intercepted. Willie
Ruffin, 303-lb. defensive guard from
Claxton. was the ouistanding player
lor Male as he drove through the Claf-
lin line like a fast freight to knock
the ball carrier on liis heels. The
combination of Ruffin and John "Big
Bruiser" Johnson. 2601b, guard, worked
like a precision-made watch lor the
first time this season. This combina-
tion slopped the Claflin ground attack
during the entire fourth quarter.

Stale, however, was no match for
the Claflin Panthers. Paul Bailey and
Chester Smith formed the scoring team
for ihe Panthers.

State Loses, 18-13,
To Florida Normal

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., November
15. The luckless Tigers fell, 18-13,
before the Florida Normal Lions at
St. Augustine, bclore a Homecoming
crowd of approximately 1500 fans. The
game was marked by fumbles and
severe penalties meted out against
State.

Florida scored in the second quarter,
but failed to make the extra point.
State, displaying power that has been
lacking all season, marched sixty yards
down the field with Roscoe Brower,
senior hack, racing ten yards to knot
the score. The half ended with Flor-
ida leading, 12-6.

Florida scored in the fourth and
Stale bounced back to stay in the
game with Charles Cozart bulling his
way across from the five. The extra
point was on a pass from Roberts to
Weailierspoon. The score stood at
18-13 in favor of the Lions.

State racked up 349 yards rushing
and passing, and completed seven of
ihe nine passes attempted, and bad two
intercepted.

GRIDIRON GLEANINGS

By Job.

P. .

The Tigers played with all their heart and soul this season. Al-
though they won only one game for the season, their spirit was good.
It is not whether you win or lose, but how you play. The lack of a
school band and enthusiastic support dampened the spirit of the team.
A band is essential to the spirit of the team as well as that of the
student body.

Twenty-two freshmen, five juniors, and three sophomores remain
at SSC for the foundation of a new Tiger team. They are full of
talent and speed. They stamp Stale as a potentially great grid power
in 1953.

To Co-Captains Willie Frank Johnson and Roscoe Brower. Marvin
Pittman. Lester Davis, and Robert Merritt, the best of luck for a great
future. May you give to the world the best that you have as you leave
the football field of State. You have played your best. May those
who come after you continue to carry the heritage of good sportsman-
ship on and off the athletic field the heritage that you have handed
down to them.

THE TIGERS ROAR

Decem ber, 1952

We're For the Idiots

(From the Hullabaloo, Tulane
University, La.)

lACPt. We're for tlic idiots, the
poor, stumbling, slupid idiots who
come lo college every year unable to
take care of themselves. We feel real
sorry for them, but we still like 'em.

College administrations all over the
country, and at Tulane, loo, have in
recent years developed a policy of car-
ing for these "idiots." These poor
guys and gals are unable to take care
of themselves, university authorities, be-
lieve.

Dormitory supervisors, counsellors.
house mothers, and advisers are all be-
ing crammed down our throats to "help
us, guide us, and keep us on the
straight and narrow."

The universities, rightly, point lo the
early thirties and late twenties when
college youth was wild, woolly and com-
pletely irresponsible. . Then they turn
around, rightly again, and say today's
college youth is more mature, more
responsible, than his counterpart of
20 years ago. Why. then, do wc need
more supervision?

We believe a certain amount of su-
pervision is necessary, sure. . . . College
students need guidance, we agree. They
has a certain responsibility to their
university and to their fellow students.
And they should he forced to live up
to these responsibilities.

But ihey, don't need to he coddled,
"mothered" or "babied" in the process.
How are you going to teach ihem to
stand on their own feet if ynu con-
stantly give them an easy chair?

We have faith in these "idiots." Their
less responsible . . . parents came
through iheir college years fairly un-
scathed. We honestly think we can
do it, too.

Scholastic Goal

(From the Varsity News, University

of Detroit.)

I serve a purpose in this school

On which no man can frown

I quietly sit in even lass

And keep the average down.

"Have You Got
What It Takes?"

By Bill Curry

(Editor's Note Bill Curry is
a native of Savannah, and is a
student at NYU. He read Mrs.
Sadie D. Steele's poem in the Cre-
ative Writing Edition, published
last March. His answer is the
poem printed lielow.)

Yes. I have that friendly virtue
It takes to gel along,
Because I do console my friends
When tilings and plans go wrong.

I help the stranger along the way.
it matters not if he's dark or fair.
Down the lowliest roads I'd go
If help wills me there.

Whatever work my hands can do
Is thoughtful, honest, and true.
For friends and strangers, I'm on

the joh
Moment by moment, the whole

day through.

Yes, I have that certain something

That age cannot decay.

And I'm forever thankful to my

mother
For rearing me up this way.

4-Part Teaching
Plan Set Up
At Yale

NEW HAVEN. Conn. (I. P.). The
new Freshman Class of 1956 at Yale
has been limited to 1,025 men in line
with the University's long-range policy
of reducing the overall enrollment lo
a more normal size. Last year's Fresh-
man Class numbered 1,169.

One of the high points in the teaching
program this year will be a four-part
"Plan of General Education in Yale
College" announced by President A.
Whitney Griswold last winter and sup-
ported by a five million dollar gift
from the Old Dominion Foundation.

Two of the four parts concerns the
expansion of Yale's Directed Studies
program. Directed Studies, inaugu-
rated in 1946, aims "lo explore through
small classes and close contact between
student and instructor the potentiali-
ties of a prescribed, integrated, course
of study, a common intellectual experi-
ence for the first two years of college."

A third part of the Plan calls for
a tutorial system for Sophomores in
the 10 residential colleges. Qualified
sophomores may lake one of their
courses in tutorial form, with a faculty
member who is a Fellow of the col-
lege. The Yale tutorial system has
been in effect for several years for
juniors and seniors and now will be
expanded and also extended to include

The final part of the plan calls for
an expansion of the Scholars of the
House program. Outstanding seniors
who are chosen as Scholars are relieved
of all formal classroom work and plan
their own schedule under the super-
vision of a faculty advisor. The stu-
dents thus have more time and incen-
tive for greater creative work in their
chosen field of study.

Notre Dame Begins
Compined Program

South Bend, Ind., Oct. 20 A new
new five-year combinations Arls and
Letters-Engineering program, designed
to provide the engineering executive in
motlrn industry with a broad cultural
and social background in addition to
technical ptoficiency, has been inaugu-
rated this year at the University of
Notre Dame.

The Rev. James E. Norton, C.S.C.,
vice-president in charge of academic
affairs here, in announcing the new
program, 'aid that although some al-
lowance is made for cultural and social
training in the standard four-year en-
gineering course, the vast extent of
technical subjects that must be covered
necessarily limits the cultural aspect
of the student's training. The new
program, he said, will provide qualified
students adequate coverage in both
fields.

Farther Norton announced that the
student suocessfully completing the
combination Arts and Letter-Engineer-
ing program will receive two degrees
from Notre Dame. The degree of
Bachelor of Arts with a major in Eu-
gineering-Srience will be warded at the
end of the fourth year, and the degree
of Baehlor of Science in the profession-
al engineering course pursued will be
given at the completion of the fifth
year.

In the fir,l two years of the new
combination program, according to Fa-
ther Norton, the student will follow the
regular Arts and Letters curriculum
except for certain preciscrihed courses
in Mathematics and science. In the
third and fourth years, the program
becomes progressively more technical
and in the fifth year it is completely
technical.

Father Norton said that students en-
tering ibis program who decide on
Architecture as their professional En-
gineering field receive the Arts degree
at the end of the fourth year like other
engineering students, but, in general,
two addiiional years are required be-
fore the program for the degree of
Bachelor of Architecture is completed.

i/Work On New Men's Dormitory Begun

On Wednesday, July 15, 1953, work was started on the new half-
million dollar men's dormitory at Savannah State College. The
Byck-Worrell Construction Company of Savannah who will build
the dormitory, started clearing away the trees on the dormitory site
in preparation for beginning construction of the new edifice.

[^Architects for the ultra-modern structure are Cletus W. and
William P. Bergen, The new building is being constructed adjacent
to Hill Hall the present men's dormitory. It will accommodate 220
students.

^Narcotics Education Workshop Held
During First Summer Session

By Johnnie Paul Jones

A new and different workshop was conducted at Savannah State
College during the first summer session the Narcotics Education
Workshop. It was designed to acquaint the participants with the
relationshop of narcotics to the crime rate in America and the rest
of the world.

The workshop, conducted by Professor A. Van Frazier, consisted
of lectures, field trips, audio-visual aids, demonstrations, classroom
experiments and discussions.

The chief aim of the work-
shop was to teach the prevention
of the use of narcotics and to
conserve human resources. One
interesting experiment per-
formed by the group was the
distillation of beer and its ef-
fects on the mind and body.

Captain C. F. Weimer, Direc-
tor of the Savannah Police De-
partment's Traffic Bureau, was
one of the guest lecturers for
the workshop. He lectured on
the effects of alcohol on the
traffic and accident rate in Sa-
vannah, and demonstrated the
use of the Intoximeter in police
work. A scientific instrument
carried In all Savannah police
cars, the Intoximeter is used to
check the alcoholic content of
a motorist's breath.

The members of the workshop
also conducted a round-table
discussion in Meldrim Auditor-

Dr. William K. Payne, Presi-
dent of the College, in comment-
ing on the work, stated that he
was pleased that work was un-
derway for the construction of
the new building because it will
meet one of the college's great-
est needs that of housing. Doc-
tor Payne pointed out that the
new dormitory will place the col-
lege in a position for a unit of
the Reserve Officers Training
Corps.

The new building will be a
three-story edifice constructed
on an L-shaped plan, with re-
inforced concrete floors, ceilings
and roof throughout. The ex-
terior walls will be of concrete
block, faced with a red range
face brick In the full range of
colors with continuous fenestra-
tion. The continuous windows
on each floor will be aluminum
with crystal plate glass and all
ventilating sections will be
equipped with aluminum screens.
The roof of the building will be
a 20 year built-up tar and felt
roof, and the whole structure will
be completely fire-proof.

In the building there will be
105 dormitory rooms, each ac-
commodating two students. The
interior of these rooms will be of
cement plaster at side walls and
ceilings and the entire area,
both, both in sleeping rooms and
corridors, will be finished with
asphalt floor tile. In each of the
sleeping rooms there will be com-
modious closet for each student,
together with built-in chest of
drawers, also arranged to pro-
duce maximum comfort and

Professor Frazier, Director of
the workshop, was well quali-
fied for his work, having re-
ceived Narcotics Education train-
ing at Paul Quinn College, Waco,
Texas, and Northwestern Univer-
sity. He has also conducted Nar-
cotics workshops throughout the
State of Tennessee.

A POEM

By Georgia E. Gordon

Measure not worth with that of
birth.

For one from lowly birth to fame
may rise.

And a tattered lad from an hum-
ble heart

May be a hero brave and wise,

ium at one of the regular
Wednesday assemblies. The dis-
cussion covered the effects of
alcohol upon the various systems
of the body. Among the specific
things discussed were the rela-
tionship of alcohol upon history
and literature, wine and the
Bible, methods of presenting
narcotics information to stu-
dents of all grade levels and
ways of integrating it with other
subject matter.

Miss Fairy Peyton of Memphis,
Tennessee, served as chairman of
the group. She is a teacher in
the city schools of Memphis and
plans to conduct a similar work-
shop for teachers there this fall.
Serving on the round-table dis-
cussion with Miss Peyton were
Miss Mary M. Hill, Manchester;
Mrs. Dytha Dotson, Warrenton;

"My year of study at Syracuse
University not only promoted
scholastic growth but strength-
ened my knowledge in the area
of human relations. My every-
day experiences with students
from all parts of the world was
an education within itself."

This statement was made by
Miss Althea W. Williams, Assist-
ant Librarian at Savannah State
College, who received her Master
of Science in Library Science on

storage space for each occupant.
Particular attention has been
paid to the lighting of the build-
ing to safeguard the students'
eyes.

All corridors throughout the
building as well as the stair
towers will have acoustical ceil-
ings to cut down noise and to
promote quiet which is so es-
sential in buildings of this kind.

In each wing on each floor
will be located lavatory and
toilets together with shower
baths to accommodate the resi-
dents of that floor. Storage
rooms for the students' trunks
and luggage will also be pro-
vided on each floor. Access to
each floor is provided by means
of three reinforced concrete
steps, each tower being enclosed
with automatically closing fire
doors and thus providing a safe
means of exit under all condi-
tions to the occupants of the
building. Particular attention
has been paid not only carry-
ing out all of the requirements
of the Georgia Safety Code, but
in many instances of exceeding
them in the interest of safety.

On the first floor of the build-
ing will be located an apartment
to take care of the dormitory
superintendent or faculty mem-
ber in charge of the dormitories.
Adjacent to these quarters will
be located a large lounge in
which the students may find re-
laxation and in which social
gatherings may be held. In con-
junction with the lounge and
residence quarters there will be
a kitchen to provide such food
as may be necessary for social
gatherings.

The building will be heated by
a forced hot water system, re-
ceiving its steam supply from the
central heating system on the
campus. Each room and corri-
dor will be heated by convertors
and the entire heating system
will produce adequate heat with
proper moisture control and
adequate zone control to produce
different temperatures as re-
quired in separate sections of the
building.

versity in Syracuse, New York.

Miss Williams found the work
at Syracuse very challenging.
However, she met this challenge
and was rewarded with her de-
gree.

Miss Williams stated that al-
though Syracuse is a private
Institution, it is inter-denomina-
tional, and there are students
from Jamaica, Germany, France,
India, Thailand and other coun-
tries found there. She felt that
it was very advantageous to
have been associated with these

The Rosenberg Case
Goes Down In History

The fury over the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg spy case came to
a close June 18, 1953.

In April. 1951, five Americans were convicted of conspiracy to
commit espionage against the United States. The five were the
Rosenbergs, Ethel's brother, David Greenglass and Harry Gold.

Offers from the United States Government to spare their lives
in return for a confession of spying was turned own by them. The
couple maintained their innocence to the end, declaring their
sentence was a cruel and uncivilized action administered by Auto-
cracy under Arbitrary power. They were, they said, victims of
the worst frameup in the history of our country, but they would
not yield their rights as free Americans.

They were the first spies executed by order of a United States
civil court. They were electrocuted in Sing Sing prison's electric
chair.

Emanuel H. Bloch, attorney for the Rosenbergs, fought to the
last for a stay-of-execution. Even the parents and two children
of the doomed couple pleaded for clemency, but to no avail. More
than ten-thousand persons participated in a "Save the Rosenbergs"
demonstration before the White House.

Even after many pleas from the immediate family and friends.
Federal Judge Irving Kaufman refused clemency and stated he had
searched his conscience but found no reason for mercy. Were he
to show mercy he would violate the sacred trust placed in his
hands by the people, he declared.

A preliminary to their execution reminds me of the story of
Pilate, the Chief Priests, Scribes, and the people before the cruci-
fixion of Christ iSt, Luke 23:1-30; St. John 18:29-39; 19:5-12), Christ
was a Jew. so were Julius and Ethel.

Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas granted a stay-of-
execution which did not last long. Justice Douglas played the
role of Pilate in helping two people who were accused of betraying
their own country and divulging the nation's most closely guarded
secret.

The government has closed its book, and history will record
I the Rosenberg case as an example of two who committed treason
i against freedom.

The Korean Conflict

One of the biggest controversies of our times is the Korean
War. Few people in the world understand fully the issues or prob-
lems we face in the Far East, of which the Korean War is one.

The Korean conflict began shortly after the close of World War
II when North Korean Communists attacked South Korea. A line
known as the 38th parallel which was to divide the North from the
South was drawn.

America and fifteen other United Nations countries intervened
to stop the Communist aggression. Even though Russia was not
directly participating in the war, it was believed by the United
Nations that she was contributing men and materials to the Com-
munist cause.

America practices the democratic form of government and Rus-
sia practices the communistic form. As a result two different views
grew in he South Koreans' minds. When a truce was proposed by
the United Nations, the South Koreans, under the leadership of
Synghman Rhee, bitterly opposed the truce because it would divide
South Korea. Rhee wants a unified Korea.

Now that an armistice has been signed, there is still doubt
in the minds of many throughout the world that it will last. There
is widespread belief that this agreement to end the shooting war
in favor of a political one is only a stalemate until such time as
the Communists deem it favorable to resume the shooting war.

The eventual outcome will not be known for some time to
come. The problem is whether South Korea will continue the fight
for a unified Korea or accept the UN truce.

The Mosquitos

job of calling the roll or anything else for that matter. He slaps
his arms, his check, the back of his head, table and the wall.

Every student in the classroom is slapping here, slapping there
and slapping everywhere. Slapping what? Why do you ask?
Mosquitoes, of course.

Each morning as students enter the classroom mosquitoes rise
up from their beds and make their attack. They greet us with
nice juicy bites. To be sure, they work with the regularity and
efficiency of an army.

One day a photographer came in to take some pictures of our
class. He requested that everyone sit still for a moment. Impossible,
with such troublesome pests as these mosquitoes around. He had
to take his pictures between slips.

Students frequently doze in the classroom, presumably as a
result of having lost the battle with these persistent little pests in
the classroom and in the dormitory the night before. In short.
they won't let you sleep during the night.

I repeat, "Are teachers and students to tolerate such pests con-
tinually expecting relief only when summer school ends?"

We hope some remedial steps will take place presently. If not,
we'll look forward to Vacation Day. August 15. 1953.

The Administration
Merits A Big Hand

Dr. W. K. Payne has done a magnificent job in bringing about
some obviously needed improvements in and around Savannah State
College. Rise and give him a hand.

Have you ever done a job well and nobody seemed appreciative?
Did everybody take it for granted in a rather indifferent manner?

iWell, this is the type of situation we find here at Savannah
State College. Anyone who has kept on the alert knows that gen-
eral conditions are greatly improved when compared to general
conditions four or five years ago. When I say general conditions
are improved, that is putting it mild. All aspects are better.

>JP#achers are improved, that is, their qualifications are marked-
ly superior. It should be noted that the majority of them are
teaching in their fields at present. They did not conform to this
practice a few years ago.

The students, although the masses could appear more cultured
and refined, have certainly come a long way otherwise, flmey seem
to realize that in order to succeed, one must study and prepare
himself. They have come to know that Savannah State College is
not a winter or summer resort. Many of them have ceased looking
for easy teachers and "sop" courses.

One can hardly help noticing the repairs and renovations of the
various buildings on the campus. A few years ago girls were simply
ashamed to entertain their guests in the dormitory, because of
dilapidated furniture and the general physical appearance of the
room. Camilla Hubert Hail is quite livable now. The hall floors
are tiled, the reception room has been completely renovated with
furniture settings which will compare favorably with that of any
school. My! What a pleasant change.

During this same period no place was provided in the dormitory
for students to wash, iron or do hair. A student would be campus-
bound if she were reported doing any of these chores in the dormi-
tory. A girl had to walk all the way to the laundry to press a
handkerchief. What about now? There is a spacious room in the
dormitory equipped with ironing boards and wooden hangers for
students' use. A special room is set aside as a beauty parlor.

\Tne meals in the dining hall are decidedly improved. One can
hardly do justice with the comparison. Students now have edible
food and balanced meals. vBuring "Reconstruction" days, meals
were neither edible nor balanced Peanut butter, syrup and crackers
were a favorite menu.

v r3f. W. K. Payne and his staff have really ushered in a new
epoch, and should be commended for their efforts. Let us give
credit where it is due. These are just a few of the many changes
that have come about under this present administration. With un-
tiring cooperation from supporters, SSC will be our Utopia.

Vhy can't something be done about these pests? the mos-
quitoes. Simple items such as spray gun, insecticide and a little
time will do the job. And why not spray the marsh?

Who is to blame for their large numbers here at the College?
Are teachers and students to continue toleration of such pests
in such large multitudes? Are they to expect relief only when
summer school ends?

Slap, slap, slap, "Listen to the roll call," says the Instructor,
but the slap, slap continues about the classroom as the roll is

The Arts and
Crafts Workshop

By Mary Patrick

The Arts and Crafts Workshop
at Savannah State College was
designed to meet the needs of
teachers in schools throughout
the state. The workshop pro-
vided the opportunity for gain-
ing insight into the philosophies,
techniques, and media of art
education and ways of adapting
these to the particular problems
and enviroment of the elemen-
tary and secondary schools.

Experiences were obtained in
the following: creative drawing,
painting, clay modeling, paper
mache construction and the
crafts. Lessons learned in the
workshop will be very helpful to
students throughout the state
this fall.

Mr. Philip J. Hampton, of the
Savannah State College faculty.
was director of the workshop. He

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Pac i

Should An Athlete Be Paid?

"No" Head Coach "Yes" Athletic
John Martin Director T. Wright

By Lottie Burnett

1/fCn interview with SSC's Head
Coach, John "Big John" Martin
on "Whether an athlete should
be paid to participate in extra-
curricular activities," brought a
negative answer from the like-
able head mentor. However, he
stated that athletes should be
subsidized.

Coach Martin immediately re-
plied. "No, athletes should not
be paid to play. A good athlete
plays for the sake of the game,
and for improving his skill rather
than for money."

Furthermore, he pointed out
that In a case where an indi-
vidual is not financially able to
attend school, he should be given
a subsidy. The various ways of
subsidizing are < 1 > awarding cash
scholarships; (2) granting work
and work-aid and (3) having
organizations that are interested
in the individual as an athlete
pay his expenses.

Coach Martin also said, "If
we are going to subsidize, it
should be on an involuntary
basis. By that I mean it should
be given according to the need
of the individual and his ability
to achieve. The only way the
college can survive athletically
in its competition with other
colleges and conferences is to
subsidize."

In conclusion he pointed out
that a small college suffers from
subsidization while the large col-
lege profits. "If we are going to
have a worthwhile team in foot-
ball, basketball, track and other-
wise, we must subsidize. If we
can't afford to give athletic
scholarships, we should have our
extra-curricular activities on an
intramural basis."

Ford Fellow Tells
How He Received
Grant

By J. W, H. Thomas

^/fn December, 1951, Ford Fel-
lowships were made available to
all colleges in the United States.
The purpose of these grants was
to improve faculty members in
the Liberal Arts area. Of the
number recommended by the
President of Savannah State
College. I was elected," said Mr.
J. B. Clemmons, Chairman of the
Department of Mathematics at
Savannah State College.

In an interview, Mr. Clem-
mons explained what he thinks
accounted for his fellowship
grant in seven detailed steps.

The first step was a confer-
ence with President W. K. Payne,
who emphasized the importance
of improving the caliber of In-
struction throughout the entire
college. From the conference
with President Payne, Mr. Clem-
mons stated that he recognized
that this would make a real con-
tribution to the training of the
youth of the State of Georgia.

In the second step, he was re-
quired to write an intellectual
autobiography which extended
from the time he entered col-
lege until his present status. He
indicated that the theme of the
autobiography presented was
that he always tried to prepare
himself well for whatever posi-
tion he held.

The third step was the start-
ing of the plan and purpose of
what he expected to do if grant-
ed a fellowship.

"As soon as I read the Strayer
Report which affected changes
in all institutions of the Univer-
sity of Georgia. I recognized
that the mathematics depart-
ment was not equipped to do
the new functions assigned It. I

By Margaret B. Lewis
> 'jAn athlete should be paid
enough to maintain himself in
school, because all athletes repre-
senting a school are students of
that school and are expected to
meet all student requirements."
This remark voiced the opinion
of Theodore A. (Ted) Wright,
Associate Professor of Physical
Education at Savannah State
College, when asked whether or
not an athlete should be paid.
The interview took place in Will-
cox Gymnasium on June 25,
1953.

When asked how much should
an athlete be paid. Coach Wright
replied, "No more than any other
student who is contributing
equally to the same cause." He
stated that since the financial
status of students vary accord-
ing to the parental income and
other economic factors, all stu-
dents do not need the same aid.
"If President Eisenhower's son
were an athlete, representing an
Institution, he would not need as
much maintenance as other stu-
dents," he said.

Coach Wright went on to
enumerate factors which influ-
ence the lives of athletes: "First
of all, an athlete cannot be
helped unless he comes through
the work-aid committee," he
said. He further stated that
they are students first, then ath-
letes and they must have at
least a "C" over-all average in
order to be eligible to receive
work-aid. He pointed out that
the athlete must spend his time
practicing and conditioning him-
self in order to make the team.
At the same time, he has to make
his grades in order to stay In
school.

Coach Wright stated that stu-
dents who are members of the
band, choir, or other organiza-
tions have six years to complete
their college work while ahtletes
have only four years to represent
an institution. "There are cer-
tain rules and regulations for
conferences and rating commit-
tees of schools that have to be
considered. One requires the
athlete to maintain a passing
average in two-thirds of his
work. No other work-aid speci-
fies such requirements. Another
regulation governing athletes
states that once he has signed
at a school and finds it neces-
sary to change schools, he is not
eligible to compete in athletics
at any other school until he has
remained there for at least a
year. When he signs up at a
school, he has sold what he has
to the school."

Coach Wright referred to an
important factor to be consid-
ered in deciding whether or not
an athlete should be paid. He
said, "Athletes are risking phys-
ical injuries more than any other
student. If they are injured, it
lessens their ability to carry on
their other activities." He point-
ed out that students who play
in the band, sing in the choir
or have other types of work-aid
jobs, are not exposed to danger.

He concluded by stating that
schools take in revenue from
athletic performances. When
asked, "What does an athlete get
out of it?" He further empha-
sized that the amount paid to
athletes should vary according
to individual needs,
further expressed my desire, as
Chairman of the Department of
Mathematics, to meet this chal-
lenge in both personnel and
equipment," Mr. Clemmons
stated.

The fourth step was a request
that he contact prominent people
with whom he had worked, who

Secondary Education
Workshop Makes The
Curriculum Dynamic

By Mrs. H. E. Clark

The principals and In-service
teachers who attended the Sec-
ondary Workshop at Savannah
State College composed the most
active and interesting group on
the campus. All members en-
gaged in teaching tackled vari-
ous problems related to the com-
munity in which they live and
teach.

The surveys, discussions, con-
ferences and skillful guidance on
the part of Dr. C. L. Kiah, Chair-
man of the Education Depart-
ment and Workshop Director,
taught the participants how to
make the Curriculum in the
Secondary School Dynamic.

The Workshop members
learned to differenciate between
a "do" democracy and a "talk"
democracy; they also learned to
develop a "know how" educa-
tional system rather than the
old traditional "know about" sys-
tem.

The 16 members of the work-
shop were divided into groups
according to their Interest.
Groups organized were Business
Education, Industrial Education.
Language Arts, General Science
and Social Science. Problems
were discussed and research work
done on the problems by mem-
bers of the groups. Experts in
the field were called in for con-
sultation. The groups then out-
lined their topic and discussed
the cause, effect and possible so-
lution of the problems.

Books on curriculum planning
in the Secondary Schools, special
bulletins, educational reports,
audio-visual aid films, records
and field trips were used by the
groups to collect information for

he said.

A leave of absence had to be
obtained by recommendation.
This was granted by the Board
of Regents of the University Sys-
tem Of Georgia, Mr. Clemmons
pointed out.

"The next task was to use well
the $5,200 granted to study
toward my Ph. D. degree in pure
mathematics. After a confer-
ence with the chairman of the
department of mathematics at
the University of Southern Cali-
fornia. I was able to select the
proper subjects to meet partial
requirements for the Ph. D. de-
gree," he remarked.

After about three weeks he
was recommended by one of the
members of the department as
official tutor of mathematics for
the Athletic Department, he
stated. Mr. Clemmons cited this
as the most cherished experience
of his career. After one semes-
ter's work, he had gained the
confidence needed to accept the
challenge to continue his study
for another year, he added. Be-
cause of his outstanding per-
formance in mathematical logic,
he feels that his research proj-
ect will be done in the Califor-
nia area.

Mr. Clemmons hopes to com-
plete all requirements for the
desired degree by June, 1954.
When asked how his advanced
study would affect the mathe-
matics program at Savannah
State College, he replied. "I feel
that I am better able to map
the course which the college
shall take, where the area of
mathematics is concerned. Fur-
ther, I am much more sensitive
to the value of a department to
operated in a systematic unit to
meet the functions and needs of
the college."

In several instances Mr. Clem-
mons gave credit to the Presi-
dent of Savannah State College
for his recommendations and
guidance throughout this partic-
ular academic adventure.

DR. W. K. PAYNE

The President
Speaks

It is assumed that people who
attend college are still able to
grow and to profit from instruc-
tion. One does not expect to
find individuals who are so set
in their ways of living and act-
ing that improvement cannot be
made.

In many respects this general
desire to learn and to improve
is the basis for unlimited growth
personality and vision. Stand-
ards of behavior in various
phases of living may be ex-
amined and analyzed. Almost
everyone possesses standards
which he has developed through
imagination or through con-
scious effort. Attending college
usually provides the time and
the atmosphere needed to ex-
amine one's behavior. There are
opportunities to see in others
some of the things which are
desirable, and likewise, oppor-
tunities to see some things are
very repulsive.

Attending college should mean
higher standards in many areas
of living. One should expect to
do better those things which he
already knows. Even habits, like
walking and speaking, should be
lifted to a new level. Agreement
and disagreement on issues
should be expressed on higher
planes. In addition to the ele-
vation of what one possesses al-
ready, systematic effort should
be made to acquire new habits,
attitudes, and ways of expressing
one's self.

There is also some concern toX
day about the quality of per-
formance which college students
give. It is unfortunate that the
degree of completeness of an
activity often results in disap-l
pointment to those who believe
that education is important to
happy living. Many activities
show incompleteness and lack of
care. Some want to rationalize
the situation by saying that there
was not sufficient time to do a
"turn key" job. Habits of ex-
cusing one's self so readily when
carelessness shows itself are
learned just as facts and infor-
mation are acquired. It is time
for college students to make
thoroughness and completeness
a part of all of their living.

In an age where the welfare
of many depends upon the
thoroughness of each partici-
pant, nothing can be considered
lightly or unimportant. The
ability to perform with accuracy
and thoroughness and to re-
quire it of others is one of the
traits needing emphasis today In
modern education. The pride
which individuals once had in
accomplishments which were
performed by a single person
should be developed for coopera-
tive projects. This attitude or
point of view will lead to more
effective community life and
happier individuals.

Summer Lyceum

Committee Presents

Top- Rate Attractions
By Lauretta Google

"The Old Maid and the Thief,"
a comic opera was sponsored by
the Summer Lyceum Committee
of Savannah State College.

The comic opera was written
by Gian-Carlo Menotti whose
products have captivated Broad-
way theater goers. "The Consul,"
"The Medium" and "The Tele-
phone" are among his triumphs.
The opera was presented by
the Comic Opera Players in a
light informal theatrical atmos-
phere which combined drama
with an intimate relationship be-
tween cast and audience. Com-
posed of a group of young pro-
fessionals, the Comic Opera
Players are under the guidance
of talented David Shapiro who
has conducted operas in New
York and at Tanglewood, Massa-
chusetts.

The players are Madeline Vose,
Virginia Copeland, Alfred Medi-
nets, Robert Gross, Edith Gordon
and Audrey Dearden. Life Maga-
zine has hailed this group as the
"finest young theater company
in the country."

The Committee presented three
talented musicians in chapel on
Wednesday, June 23.

The two well-known artists
from the Savannah sector were
Miss Evelyn Grant, pianist, the
talented daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Leon Grant, Sr., and a sen-
ion at Howard University where
she is majoring in music. Miss
Ella Marie Law, soprano, a grad-
uate of Talladega College, thrilled
the audience with her version of
Angus Dieu. Miss Law is the
daughter of the Edward Laws.

The guest of honor was Mrs. Yo-
shlo Ogawa, an exchange student
from the University of Tokyo to
the University of Southern Cali-
fornia where he is doing ad-
vanced study in music, special-
izing in the Violin. He is the
mouse guest of Mr. J. B. Clem-
Imons, Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Mathematics at Savan-
nah State College.

The Lyceum Committee spon-
sored other entertaining affairs
for the summer school students.
Among the affairs were: A boat-
ride to Daufuskie Island, South
Carolina on July 2; on July 4,
a Lawn Party on the College
followed by a social in the Col-
lege Inn where games were
played. Prizes were awarded to
the winners. A party was held
in the College Inn on July 17.
The outstanding quartet, "Con-
tinental-Aires," appeared at the
College on July 27 and a "Square
Dance" In the College Inn on
July 31.

The Committee has also
planned a tour of Savannah
Boatride. a local talent show and
a motorcade to Selden Park in
Brunswick. Georgia.

The members of the Lyceum
Committee were Mr. W. V. Win-
ters, Chairman; Mrs. P. Massey,
Secretary; Rev. A. J. Hargrett;
Miss Miriam Bacote; Mr. T. U.
Ryals; Mrs. Otha L. Pettigrew
and President W. K. Payne, ex-

Prof. Lockette
Tells Of Work
At Illinois

By Joe Anna Campbell

Savannah State College, June
26. Professor Rutherford E.
Lockette, Assistant Professor of
Industrial Education at Savan-
nah State College, gave high-
lights and opinions in an inter-
view yesterday concerning his
position as graduate assistant in
the Department of Industrial
Education at the University of
Illinois during the academic year
of 1952-53.

"I did a research project and
developed a course of study in
applied electricity for the Indus-
trial Education Department. I
based my research on the analy-
sis of electrical occupation," he
stated.

Professor Lockette pointed out
that the objective of this course
is to prepare teachers to handle
electricity in the industrial arts
area.

"The students seemed to have
felt the need for study and did
study. They spent several hours
a day in the library attempting
to get as much out of the course
as possible."

"With the approach of inter-
gration, and it seems to be ap-
proaching, this should focus our
attention on the need for better
preparation at the lower levels,"
he added.

Professor Lockette stated the
belief that students should go
about their work as though it
were a vocation.

"The 12 students enrolled in
the course showed exceptional
ability and background," he said.

In commenting on the fact
that he was the first Negro to
teach at the University of Illi-
nois, he said, "It depended most-
ly upon the individual more than
the race. The question of being
a Negro was just another inci-
dent."

Nelson R. Freeman, Veteran's
Secretary and Manager of the
Book Store and College Inn, is
doing additional study In the
field of personnel management
at Columbia University this sum-
mer. This study Is expected to
enrich activities in the Inn. Miss
Doris L. Harris, Veteran's Clerk
and Cashier, College Inn, and al-
so a graduate of Savannah State
College, is in full charge of the
Inn during the absence of Mr.
Freeman. Her duties: managing
the snack bar, the book store
and managing veteran's affairs.

Miss Harris released the infor-
mation that there are 40 Korean
veterans in attendance at Sa-
vannah State College. With the
applications received to date, the
number is expected to be at
least doubled by September.

The Veteran's Secretary urges
all veterans to make a wise
choice in their field of study as
Korean veterans will be permit-
ted to change their fields only
once while studying under the
G. I. Bill of Rights. This change
can be only when sufficient rea-
sons are furnished the Veterans
Administration Office to justify
the change.

Korean veterans are advised to
bring enough money to school
with them to pay all expenses
for at least a month. The Vet-
erans Administration is now pay-
ing expenses until the termina-
tion of each month instead of
paying in advance as with the
World War II veteran.

The highlight of the workshop
was the presentation of a Three
Dimensltional Skit in the Col-
lege Chapel. The skit was di-
rected by Dr. Klah with Angus
Henry as stage manager. The
theme of the skit was, "Making
the Curriculum in the Secondary
School Dynamic." The first di-
mension was the old traditional
one-room school where the
teacher told the student what,
when and how to do their work.
The emphasis was on the lesson
content of the book only. Mrs.
Georgia Gordon of Savannah,
portrayed the traditional teacher
who ruled the classroom with
Iron handed discipline.

The second dimension was the
modern, well lit classroom with
reference materials and informal
seating arrangement. The teach-
er served as co-ordinator and
advisor to the students, putting
stress on group participation
and teacher-pupil planning. In
the modern school emphasis was
placed on the individual student
and ways to meet his physical,
mental, emotional, aesthetic and
social needs.

The Third Dimension will be
the new school of the future, de-
veloped by the teachers and fu-
ture teachers of tomorrow. Con-
sultants assisting Dr. Klah in
the workshop were Mr. R. C.
Long, Chairman of the Business
Department; Mr. W. B. Nelson,
Director of the Division of Trades
and Industries; Dr. O. T. Small-

Many New Books
Added To Library

Since the library is really the core of any educational institu-
tion, it must therefore strive to meet the needs of all of its clientele.
With this view in mind your library staff has endeavored to build
up the library collection and services. As a result of this there are
many new books on our shelves for your use. This expansion has
brought forth a few changes in library regulations and services.
Circulating-books are now available for a two week loan period
instead of the one week limit

previously used- The number of
subscriptions to newspapers and
magazines has been increased,
back issues of the New York
Times, Savannah Morning News
and the London Times are avail-
able on microfilm. A recordax
microfilm reader is maintained.
Films, pictures and record col-
lections are now in the develop-
mental stage. In a matter of a
few weeks, a new service will
be provided for the convenience
of our patrons; a rental type-
writer will be placed in the stock
room by the Graymont Corpora-
tion. Persons wishing to use the
typewriter should make inquiries
at the desk. This is the first
time, stock permits must be se-
cured at the circulation desk by
all persons who find it neces-
sary to use the library stacks.

In keeping with the institu-
tional calendar of events and in
the area of publicity, periodically
attractive displays and exhibits
will be arranged in the library
reading room. It is hoped that
these exhibits will help inspire
and promote variety and growth
in reading by our patrons. The

Brooks, Pulitzer
Winner 1st Book
Off The Press

The first novel by Gwendolyn
Brooks, Negro Pulitzer Prize win-
ner in poetry, was published this
week by Harper and Brothers of
New York City. Titled "Maud
Martha," the story centers
around a Negro daughter, wife
and mother who lives in the
Bronzeville section of Chicago.

According to the publishers'
statement, the novel tells in
vivid, poetic prose "the fear that
underlies every moment fear
that beyond the safety of the
neighborhood world the person
born with a dark face will be
looked upon as an intruder."

Miss Brooks' first volume of
poetry, "A Street in Bronzeville,"
was published by the same com-
pany In 1945 and in 1949 she
won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry
for her second volume of poetry.

Current News

This year it is indeed a pleasure
for the staff of the Tiger's Roar,
along with the upper classmen and
faculty members, to extend a hardy
welcome to one of the largest fresh-
man classes that we have witnessed
at S.S.C.

Not only can we boast of one
of the largest enrollments in the
history of Savannah Stale College,
but we have representatives from
many of the Southern. mid-West-
ern and Eastern States.

The class of 1957 has already
displayed that it is one that will
prove an asset to our college com-
munity. There are members of the
class that are outstanding in the
fine arts. A positive indication of
our talented freshmen was ex-
hibited at their annual talent show.

Another unique feature of the
class of '57 is that it is the first
class to participate in the initiation
of the General Education program
which is a step forward in higher
education today

It is not too early for the class
of '57 to begin some serious think-
ing- along with fun. Savannah

Sialc College offers many oppor-
tunities in the development of
one's mental, physical, religious,
social and aesthetic values.

With such an extensive college
program, it is a matter of the sur-
vival of the fittest. It is up to
the individual to adopt a receptive
atlitude and to grasp every advan-
tage, offered by our college, to
develop a well rounded personal-
ity.
"Roll Call of Layalty

We have many extra-curricular
activities and one of the strongest
in is the area of sports.

In order to develop a winning
team in any of the sports foot-
ball, basketball, baseball, track.
etc. we must morally support
them by displaying good school
spirit and individual good will.

The class of "57 is a challenge to
Savannah State College and our 62
year old institution has what it
takes to challenge the class of '57.

I implore you, class of '57, to
accept the opportunities offered by
Savannah Stale College.

Savannah State . . . the best

Are You Guilty

Dorothy Moore '56
The spirit of the Savannah
State College students seems to
be a little off this school term,
which may be the cause of our
football defeats.

The students are partially
members of the football team.
During the time S. S. C. is win-
ning there is plenty of pep which
encourages the team, but when
we are losing everything Is dull;
therefore, the team becomes less
active.

When a player gets injured
the yelling stops and he feels as

if the students think that he
didn't play well. This naturally
depresses the injured player and
is the main time cheering should
bo done.

When a player is entering the
field one should not make smart
remarks because it will discour-
age him and cause him to fill
his position with remorse and
insecurity.

So. if the students of S. S. C.
would yell throughout the game,
perhaps victory would be at-
tained if not in score in mo-
rale.

Creative Tributes

GREETINGS TO THE FRESH-
MAN CLASS

From
President of the Student Council

Timothy U. Ryals
I greet you with smiles from

S. s. c.
Successful students I hope you

will be
In pursuing the things you

greatly desire,
And also the things you highly
admire.

We are glad to have you and we
want you to stay.

We'll be glad to assist you In
every possible way.

Take advantage of all opportu-
nities that you are able to
get,

And as the years go by you will
have no regrets.

May your pathway be bright
Your dreams come true,
Your school year be happy,
And success to you.

By Thomas R. Evans '55

The most shocking tragedy to
be felt by the entire American
public, for some time, was the
kidnap-murder of little Bobby
Greenlease. This boy, son of a
multi-millionaire, was appre-
hended by Miss Bonnie Brown
Heady and Carl Austin Hall. The
twin kidnappers received a
5600,000 ransome and later mur-
dered the child. They are now
on trial in Kansas City. I be-
lieve that the court's decision
will coincide with the opinion of
the American people on what
should be done to this couple.

The recent election and the
appointments of certain officials
to high offices in the govern-
ment may have some effect on
the present administration pol-
icy.

The appointment of Mayor
Thomas A. Burke of Cleveland
by Governor Frank J. Lausche
of Ohio, a Democrat, gave the
once minority party a majority
of 48 seats in the Senate to the
G. O. P. 47. It is interesting to
watch how the Senate votes on
the next legislative issue.

The election of Lester Johnson
to Congress marks the first time
that a Democrat has ever been
elected from the Ninth Wiscon-
sin Congressional District. The
election was viewed with nation-
al interest as a possible reflec-
tion of a midwestern farmer
vote on President Eisenhower's
farm policy. Could this mean
that Wisconsin is going Demo-
crat in the Congressional elec-
tion next year?

The appointment of Governor
Earl Warren as chief justice of
the Supreme Court could be a
strategic move toward solving
the segregation problem in the
public schools. This issue will
come before the Supreme Court
in the near future.

Mr. L. B. Toomer. a local Negro
civic leader, was appointed by
President Eisenhower to the
Treasury Register post. He is the
first Negro to hold this office
since James C. Napier was ap-
pointed by President Coolidge
thirty years ago.

The Yugoslav - Italian clash
over Trieste remains yet to hold
the spotlight in international
news. Both of these European
nations claim possession of this
strategic coastal city. I predict
that the United Nations will in-
tervene in this dispute and will
try to work out an agreement
between the two nations.

-CHOES

Farns Madison Hudson '55
Once there was a troop of echoes

Dancing in the air.
Where they went nobody knows

But I am sure they went
somewhere.

They sounded like a band of

beating drums
Floating on a cloud.
The sweetest songs one would

like to hear
But not so very loud.

Most people thought it was the
angels
Singing their theme song after
a silent prayer.
To see this sight would have been
an amazing thing
But no one could get up there.

So float on echoes, wherever you
are,
And keep the tune of your
sweetest songs.
In a mental picture we will see
you
And count all the loved ones.

Meet Our President

It is a pleasure to greet the
TIGER'S ROAR staff and the
citizens which it serves at this
season of the year. The opening
of school is always an important
period for both the students who
are returning and those who
have come to the college for the
first time.

Each group comes to the col-
lege looking for some definite
things which are to be realized,
extended, or started during the
current academic year. The
frame of mind is a genuine basis
for progress if it can be sys-
tematically developed.
/''One method for developing
'this attitude or frame of mind
is systematic planning. Students
should write down in their
diaries or career books or on a
plain piece of paper some of the
important things which they
would like to accomplish or
achieve during the present aca-
demic year. The act of writing
out these goals will impress upon
them thenecessity for doing
something toward their realiza-
tion. At the end of the fall
quarter just before school closes
for the Christmas recess, this
list should be reviewed by the
student. At that time some at-
tempt should be made to evalu-

ate the progress made toward
the realization or achievement of
each objective. This preliminary
evaluation will serve as a founda-
tion for readjustments in goals
or aspirations for the winter and
spring quarters. A similar pro-
cedure should be followed at the
end of the winter quarter and
the beginning of the spring
quarter.

At the end of the spring quar-
ter a special time should be set
aside for the final checking of
progress or development that has
taken place. In each instance
the student should be objective
in his evaluation. Care should
be taken to face in every respect
the situation as it exists. Where
no progress has been made, an
explanation should be forthcom-
ing which would not be a mere
relationship, where progress has
been made an explanation should
point up the things which made
progress possible. It is my opin-
ion that the application of this
technique will help to make the
school year a better year for
both freshmen and continuing
students. It is hoped that each
student will give the plan an
honest trial. May the year 1953-
54 be monumental in the college
career of each one.

A HEART'S CONFESSION
Nadene Cooper '55

Perhaps you think I have some-
time love
And my actions are very odd.

Perhaps you think I place every-
one above you
But. I love you, deep down in

my heart.
There are some things you may

not understand
But they are meaningless, as you

should know.
So please accept me as I am
Because in my heart, I love you.
Time changes things 'tis true.
Yes, it brings things we can

hardly bear.
It hasn't changed you, your love,

nor smile
That's why, in my heart I care.
Don't think I am a flirt
When I am constantly with

someone else;
Please understand that I love

you
And I want you for myself.

When my love for you is being

doubted
And what to do. you do not know.
Just remember that I love you
And my love shall follow you

wherever you go.

MEMORIES YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET

Dorothy Moore '55
When your lover has left you

and you are all alone;
And your life is worth nothing

but to roam,
Just bring into your memory the

time he was home,
Yet, those days are passed and

gone.

Think of the times you strolled
In the park;

And every word he said speeded
directly to your heart,

And you thought then you would
never depart.

Just think of the times in the
moonlight

You kissed, and your heart beat
as though it should miss,

The time he was your Romeo
and you were his Juliet;

Yes, these are memories, mem-
ories you will never forget.

A POEM, A PICTURE, A SONG

Nathan Dell '54
To me you are a poem,

A lovely poem,
A poem whose writer is He who
wrote
Across the sky the milky way,
A poem that moves with the
grace of
Drifting clouds on a still day.
To me you are a picture.

A lovely picture,
A picture whose painter is He
who
Paints the sunsets and the
dawns
And the glory of autumn.
A picture whose beauty shall
never fade,
But always be as fresh as the
morning.

To me you are a song
A lovely song . . .

Whose composer is He who com-
posed the music of the wind
. . . and of falling rain.

A song whose melody I hear
whispering to me and haunt-
ing me when the shadows
are deep . . .

ALPHA PHI ALPHA

"Manly Deeds. Scholarship and
Love for All Mankind." these are
the aims of Alpha Phi Alpha.

This year marks the fifth year
that- the Alpha Phi Alpha Fra-
ternity has been in existence on
the campus of Savannah State
College.

The Alphas are planning to
make this year one of the great
strides of progress. During the
school year this organization will
celebrate their annual observ-
ance of Founder's Day. Educa-
tion for Citizenship Week, and
many other inspirational and ed-
ucational activities.

The officers of Alpha Phi Al-
pha Fraternity, Delta Eta chap-
ter this year are as follow^^pfes-
ident, Curtis V. Cooper; corre-
sponding secretary. John B. Mid-
dleton; recording secretary. Wil-
lie J. Anderson; dean of pledges.
Ruben L. Gamble; financial sec-
retary. William D. Wood, Jr.;
treasurer, Timothy U. Ryals; his-
torian. Thomas J. Polite; chap-
lain, Charles L. Brannen; ser-
geant-at-arms. Rudolph V Hard-
wick.

These officers of Delta Eta
Chapter are working hard to
maintain the objectives and tra-
ditions of Alpha Phi Alpha since
its historical beginning, Decem-
ber 4, 1906. at Cornell University,
Ithaca, N. Y.
ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA
LT-he" Alpha Kappa Alpha Soror-
ity under the leadership of Miss
Delores Perry is planning big
things for the campus and com-
munity,

I hope you're looking forward
to its annual play which will be
presented either the winter or
spring quarter. And don't forget
"fashionetta" on the 20th of No-
vember.

Alpha Kappa Alpha has many
other surprises in store for you,

Barnes Curtis, Polemarch
Ezra Merritt, Vice-Polemarch
James F. Densler. Keeper of
Records

Archie Robinson. Keeper of
Exchequer
Samson Frazier, Historian
James Murray, Strategus
Oscar Dillard, Dean of Pledges
With these able officers work-
ing coherently to achieve, we feel
certain that this will be the
Kappas' most successful year at
Savannah State College.

During the summer months,
the Kappas who were enrolled,
worked cooperatively with the
Savannah Alumni Chapter and
published the "KAPPA KOL-
UMN," a monthly news digest.
These publications were designed
to inform vacationing brothers
of the happenings on the local
scene; as well as to serve as a
stimulant for the forthcoming
school year. The success of these
publications may be directly at-
tributed to the sound advice of
Mr. John Camper and the very
efficient work of James Densler
and Johnnie Paul Jones.
OMEGA PSI PHI

The Alpha Gamma Chapter of
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity starts
the 1953-54 school year with the

Keeper of Finance, Roy Allen;
Chaplain, David Hook; Parlia-
mentarian, Arthur L. Johnson;
sergeant-at-arms, Robert Phil-
son; and Dean of Pledgees, Wal-
ter McCall.

Even though the chapter is
relatively small, the year prom-
ises to be a very prosperous one.
To uphold its cardinal principles
scholarship, perseverance, up-
lift, manhood and to instill in
all Savannah State College stu-
dents the need of brotherhood
are the chapter's alms. We must
remember "Men are judged by
their fruit."

Mercedes Mitchell '54

"The body is the shell of the
soul, and the dress the husk of
that shell; but the husk often
tells what the kernel is."

To dress well and appropri-
ately denotes that one is not
only educationally efficient but
culturally secure. There is an
appropriate attire for any and
every occasion. School clothes
should be simple, conservative,
yet fashionable. Set off last
year's sweaters with a small but
colorful scarf, a dainty collar or
a simple yet attractive necklace.
A well groomed young lady is
never overdressed. This holds
true for church, dinner, teas, and
formals. The simplest garment
can be made the most attractive.

The young man's problem in
dress is a simple one. A well-
pressed dark suit is always in
good taste excluding strictly
formal.

Remember , . . neatness and
cleanliness are necessary always
to give character and poise.

ZETA PHI BETA

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority on Sa-
vannah State College campus of-
fers to each girl finer woman-
hood, sisterly love and scholar-
ship. The program this year is
much concerned with the devel-
opment of personality and lead-

have been made for a very dy-
namic and successful year. The

suing year are:

DELTA SIGMA THETA

Wtjelta Nu Chapter of Delta Sig-
a Theta Sorority was the last
Greek-Letter organization to en-
ter the Savannah State College
Family. Though it is the young-
est Greek group, the members
have initiated many projects
that help to enrich our college

Socially, Delta Nu sponsors
two parties. Of the group is the
much talked about Raggedy Ann
and Andy Ball which has proved
fun for all in the past.

Educationally, the Deltas spon-
sor chapel programs and schol-
arship projects. Each year the
Freshman woman who has the
highest cumulative average is
honored at the May Week Chapel
Program.

A careful examination of the
1953-54 plans for Delta Nu will
prove that the members have
planned a program that is in
keeping wit lithe public motto of
the sorority "Intelligence is the
torch of Wisdom."

Delta Nu Chapter of Delta Sig-
ma Theta Sorority starts the
1953-54 year with the following
roster :

Carolyn Gladden, President;
Lillie Linder. Vice-President; Lil-

MAN'S BEST FRIEND

Toddler is Rescued

In a small town in Florida, a
twenty - two - month - old, blue-
eyed, blonde-haired girl wan-
dered off and fell into some deep
water.

Fortunately, her next-door
neighbor, a purebred German
Shepherd, saw his friend's dis-
tress, dashed in and pulled the
little girl back to the water's
edge.

The only damage was e. torn
dress.

Hit and Rim

Savannah State College com-
bines family living and academ-
ic training.

On tne campus there ar many
Jogs some are pedigreed and
some are mongrels, but all are
fed and loved.

On October 12, 1953, a speed-
ing motorist hit one of our
prized pets, Skippy. the affable
English Shepherd.

Luckily, Skippy escaped with a
few cuts and bruises.

Be careful motorists. Remem-
ber "Man's Best Friend is His
Dog."

The Other Fellow

The other fellow! Right or
wrong, he is your mental room-
mate. Bright or dumb, he lives
in your street. Hale or 111, he
may affect or infect you. Taci-
turn or articulate, you may learn
from him. You have to live

constructively, healthily, worth-

S.S.C. MAKES HOMECOMING HISTORY

Give Thanks-
For What

Ruby Simmons '54
Shirley L. Jenkins '54
For the new suit you got for
Homecoming, the new car you
cruise around in, or for being
ible to attend the dance after
the game. No, we should be
hankful for more than these.
For Thanksgiving is a special
ime to say a special thank-you
o God for food, family, friends,
md home.
The first Thanksgiving was
elebrated in 1621 by a group of
teople known as the Pilgrims.
Lnder the leadership of Governor
Bradford. However, like most
if our international holidays, the
:erm dates back to the olden
I imes.
Even though the Pilgrims cel-
brated the first Thanksgiving
In 1621, it did not become na-
ionally known until 1789 during
be Washington administration.
Vashington's proclamation did
lot prove to be effective, because
ne custom of all Americans cele-
rating Thanksgiving on the
ame day did not last. Some
tates observed Thanksgiving on
ne date, some on another and
ome did not observe it at all.
It was Mrs. Sarah Hale. Amer-
a's first woman editor, who,
iirough editorial reports and
etters to the Governors of all
iie states, and the President,
^ked them to aid in the reissu-
ng of the national Thanksgiving
'roclamation. Finally, her hopes
!Bie fulfilled in 1863, when Pres-
cient Lincoln issued the first
Lruly national Thanksgiving
'roclamation, setting apart the
tst Thursday in November as
the date to be observed.

While the first national cele-
oration of the day was held in
.363, the first international cele-
bration was held in Washington
In 1909. It was conceived by the
Rev. Dr. William T. Russell, rec-
tor of St. Patrick's Catholic
Church in that city, and held in
obedience to a request from Car-
dinal Gibbons. Dr. Russell
planned what he called a Pan
American celebration to be at-
tended by the representatives of
"ill the Latin-American countries
in the national capital and thus
establishing the International
celebration.

As our forefathers, from 1621
down through the centuries, cel-
ebrated Thanksgiving, we, in the
twentieth century, celebrate it
in much the same spirit as they
did. Church services are held for
those who wish to keep in touch
with the religious spirit of the
day; however, with the large ma-
jority of us, it Is peculiarly a
home festival.

And Thanksgiving comes at
just the very best time for a
feast. The fat old gobbler has
reached his perfection; the
pumpkin smiles a golden smile;
the harvest is in; elder sparkles
in the mill.

But when we Americans gath-
er for Thanksgiving dinner, we
should remember the Pilgrims

Paradej [Colorful;
Homecoming Activities

The homecoming parade was a very colorful event. Charming
Mis s Hem ^ceJIiQDia. s reigned as Mist s^yaringh fita.t-.P queen of
"Autumn Fiesta, which was the college wide, homecoming theme.

Misses Beatrice Walker and Evelyn James flanked the queen on
a beautifully decorated float that followed the high stepping Savan-
nah State band directed by Mr. L. Allen Pyke.
Other Bands Participate

The rhythmic success of the parade can also be attributed to
other participating bands. They were: the William James High
School band, Statesboro, Georgia; Risley High School band, Bruns-
wick, Georgia; Alfred E. Beach accessories worn by the lovely

High School band, Savannah,
Georgia, Woodville High School
band, Savannah, Georgia.

The band members were
dressed in their respective school
uniforms and marched with pep
and skill through the streets of
Savannah.

The cars and floats were skill-
fully decorated and made an eye-
catching impression as the array
of autumn colors moved through
the city streets.

The sidewalks were crowded
with onlookers and the outstand-
ing floats and cars were applaud-
ed as they passed by the enthusi-
astic bystanders.

Blue, gold, yellow, red and
brown were the dominant colors
used in suit combinations and

queens and their attendants
Prizes Awarded

Approximately 35 units,
floats, cars and bands made up

Highlights

Another homecoming has
brought many graduates of Sa-
vannah State College back to
their dear Alma Mater. "There
is no place like home" was truly
the sentiments of those who are
presently enrolled at this insti-
tution. Welcome mats were
spread for all alumni.

Miss General Alumni," for the
year 1953-54, was the charming
Mrs. L. Orene Hall, an alumna
of this institution. Mrs. Hall
has been employed as Head of
the Commercial Department of
Albany State College for the past
eight years. She stated that the
ootball weather was the best
that she had witnessed on such
an occasion. Mrs. Hall also re-
marked "as we sing long may it
wave o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave, let
us hope within our hearts that
long may President Payne reign
as President of Savannah State
College."

Attendants to Mrs. Hall were
Mrs. Rosa Allen Crosse and Mrs.
Edna Turner Smith. Mrs. Crosse
is a graduate of the high school
and normal department of Geor-
gia State Industrial College. She
is a teacher at the Carver Jun-
ior High School of Albany, Geor-
gia. Mrs. Smith is a graduate of
Savannah State College and she
is now a teacher of English and
Dramatics at the Newton High
School, Newton, Georgia.

"Miss Savannah Local Alum-
ni," Mrs. Elsie Adams Brewton,
is an elementary education
teacher and basketball coach, in
Hardeeville Negro High School.
Hardeeville, South Carolina.

Mrs. Brewton's attendants
were Miss Ruth Mullino and Mrs.
Margaret Wiltz. Miss Mullino
teaches in the Risley High
School, Brunswick, Georgia, and
Mrs. Wiltz teaches at the De
Renne Elementary School in Sa-
vannah, Georgia.

Feted in the homecoming pa-
rade along with "Miss General
Alumni" and attendants and
"Miss Savannah Local Alumni"
and attendants were "Miss
Screven County Alumni" and
her attendants.

Immediately after the game a
social was given for all alumni
of Savannah State College at
the College Center.

Mr. J. E. McGlockton is presi-
dent of the General Alumni As-
sociation.

The blue and white clouds of
the afternoon were paling to

In the middle rose a clump of

crowd awaited the entrance of

Be Grateful, Be Respectful,
Be Courageous

The student body of Savannah
State College both past and pres-
ent can look at the rapid prog-
ress and development made in
our institution. We can be grate-
ful and say that a rolling stone
gathers no moss, but will roll to
success with a place in our com-
munity relative to students, and
a high standard in our nation
relative to institution.

Certain things have to be ac-
cepted without your individual
test and proof. Life isn't long
enough to verify everything per-
sonally. The specialist, the au-
thority, the man with a reputa-
tion in his own field may not be
mentally keener than you, but
may have more data at his fin-
gers' tips.

So realizing possible things
that would cause a person to act
or seem mentally keener than
you, shouldn't cause you to feel
that you have been cheated men-
tally. Instead you should be
grateful for your opportunity to
attend college and strive even
harder to develop yourself men-
tally in the field of your choice.

Not only mentally will you
achieve in life, but you will pro-
gress in every phase of life by
being grateful for all things and
by shouldering your responsibil-
ity joyously, and launching out
into the deep in order to build
magnificently.

One of tne things that makes
a gentleman is being respectful.
One of the methods that can be

employed in developing respect
is to first stop and realize that
every person is judged as an in-
dividual and not as a gi'oup.

It is that unseen something,
that "inner man,'' that will force
you to have a certain amount of
respect for yourself, your fellow-
man and God.

When a young man is ap-
proaching a door in front of a
young lady, he may show respect
to her by holding the door open
until she enters; or in the case
of a young lady, if she is invited
to a dance, she may show respect
by accepting unless she has a
reason for not doing so. Respect
is kindness and kindness is to
do and say the kindest things
in the kindest way.

One of the crusaders of
France, Colonel E. L. Daley, told
his army when the going was
rough: "Boys," said he, "your
name is Daley, and Daley stands
for the ability to do things!" No
longer should we let doubt enter
our minds when obstacles enter
our lives; instead, we should
fight until the battle is won.

Perseverance is of great value
in our lives socially, mentally,
physically, and religiously. We
should try hard to obtain this
in our daily living. To start a
job and to continue that job de-
spite obstacles will ofttimes de-
termine one's career.

Let your moral standard be
not like a diploma that hangs
on the wall, but within your

heart.
Savannah State .

. the best.

What is College Without a Goal ?

Solomon Green '55
I am a student at Savannah
State College and I have had
some experiences of what is
meant to be a member of a col-
lege family. All classes, regard-
less of classification, experience
doubt and hardships In the proc-
ess of becoming adjusted to col-
lege life. Since the first two
months of school are over, I
would like to think of all stu-
dents as being fully adjusted.

A student is a person who
studies in order to attain one or
more goals, or a student is one
who studies under the direction
of a tutor with the idea of being
like his tutor. Remember though,
that being a student varies
greatly from the plain definition
make sure that you put the
definition into action.

Until one has assured himself
that he has studied and is
studying diligently and con-
structively, influences mean
nothing. A student must study
first of all his instructor ;
then his contemporaries or class-
mates; last, but not least, he
must learn to use the library
constructively. These qualities
are not difficult to obtain or
maintain. It is just a philoso-
phy or code which each student
must adopt and follow to his own
advantage.

Although you have paid your
entrance fee, if you do not pos-
sess these qualities, you have
the college, but no goal.

The cnarge by Attorney Gen-

an important government post,
even though he knew the man's
record, has disturbed the Amer-
ican public quite a bit perhaps
this may have an effect on the
election next fall. I believe that
is more or less a political move
to balk the recent election gains
by the Democrats during this
off-year elections. The former
President has stated that he will
go before the American public
and reveal all he knows.

President Eisenhower's visit to

American republics exchanged
views on the recent developments
in the world situation and on
measures which might bring
about a relaxation of current in-

in their hearts to give thanks

We should remember "the Fa-

the long-ago first Thanksgiving;
we should remember the father
of our country, George Wash-
ington, who was first to proclaim
Thanksgiving for all the states.

Grateful Americans should
never forget Mrs. Sarah J. Hale,
who worked so long to make
Thanksgiving Day a nationwide
holiday; she is sometimes called
"The Mother of Thanksgiving."

HOW CAN A MIND JUDGE A

MIND?

Farris M. Hudson '55

Will you take this great respon-
sibility upon yourself to see
just what is the mind of
man?

To solve this problem is more
than thoughts, blue prints,
or even drawn out plans.

A mind to judge a mind is more
than the average man's mind
might think.

'Tis hard as taking water to wa-
ter and telling that water to
drink.

Now my friend do you under-
stand what I've said in the
composition of these few
lines?

I've only asked a little question
How can a mind judge a
mind?

AM I A STUDENT?

Solomon Green '55
Am I a student, a student I am,

or a student I would like to

be.
Can I get my work or does my

work get me while my

thoughts linger fancy free.
Can I strive, or reach my goal,

while only browsing over

state's green campus,
While others fight to win that

prize, and my devoting half.

of my effort.

Am I here with tomorrow's

thoughts, which should be

my ambition.
Or have I drifted to yesteryear.

a pessimist instead of an

optimist.

Am I afraid to face the facts, or

to accept God's world as it

really is,
Or shall I continually lean on

my fellow's back instead of

independency.

Am I spellbound by Ally Oops,
Mickey Mouse and other
comic features,

Until I fail to get the point of
authors and teachers.

Lord help me to be the student
that I would like to be,

For I am struggling day by day
to reach a higher degree.

STOP! THINK! ACT!

Nadene Cooper '55
What's wrong with us upper-
classmen?
This is one thing I'd like to
know.
Do we know that the freshmen
are watching,
And following us where we go?

Are we doing our part

To help them find their places?
Have we been thoughtful

To learn all their faces?

We should lay a pattern
For each of them to follow.

It takes all this my friend,
To make a first-class scholar.

We should be eager

To lend them a helping hand.
Now we may wonder why,

Later, we'll understand.

Let us wake up

And begin to do our part.
Let us do our best

To give the freshmen a start.

If they should make an error

Or make a bad name;
Can we speak against them

When we are the ones to
blame?

The Atomic Age is generally
regarded as having been ush-
ered in on July 16. 1945. On
this date the first man-made
atomic explosion occurred in the

will always remember him as a

evenings from 6:00 to 7:00.
These evening programs are un-
der the supervision of Mr. Nel-
son Freeman and Mr. Walter
Mercer. , t

Tins program is designed to
nhance the social growth of all
lie students of Savannah State
<_'ollege. The Personnel hopes
that it will help to make a well-
. mnded person socially as well
; educationally of all Savannah
E mate's students.

The Personnel invites all or-
: mizations on our campus to
i ike part in the afternoon or
.ening programs.

There will be a variety of pro-
ams and some strictly educa-

>nal.

Dunng the past weeks these
:-ograms have been very educa-
onal and social. I hope that

,e students will gain some form
enjoyment from them.

On November 11. which was

mistice Day. Miss J. G. Sellers
i :ve an inspiring talk on "Date
r ata." Miss Sellers brought out

-ry clearly many interesting
! >ints. Some were: not to take

>ur dating too seriously, be-
muse every girl or boy you meet

uldn't turn out to be a big
1 ling in your life; try to know

: any types well; because before,,

These social educational pro-
grams are set aside for you to
help you grow both educationally
and socially.
Assembly Hour

Our assembly hour, which is
held each Thursday at 12:00,
convenes at this time to give in-
formation to the students re-
garding the school set-up and
school activities. It provides the
means by which students can
hear different speakers and re-
ceive many other kinds of im-
portant information that they
would not hear otherwise.

As well as giving information,
it is a training source in that it
gives the students experience in
appearing before the public
which helps to develop poise,
good speaking and many other
desirable qualities.

We have naa many interesting
programs during the past weeks;
among them was tne Spninx
uiuo s program.

In this program the members
of the bpiitnx uiub carried us
back to aays ot old. Mr. ueorge
Jonnson, acting as Master of
Ceremonies, gave us a Dnei sum-
mary oi our Ancestry. Miss -tier-
menia Mobley sang two breath-
taking songs, Noooay Knows tne
Trouoie I've Seen and You'll
Never Walk Alone. Mr. Curtis
Cooper, one of the big brothers
of the Sphmxmen. sang Ole Man
River wmle Thomas Johnson, a
very talented young man, gave
his interpretation of the song in
dance. Then, too soon, the pro-
gram was over and we were
brought back to reality.

Programs of this type and
many otners are those that tend
to build us up into well-rounded
young men and women. There
are numerous of other reasons
why we have an assembly hour
but consider these and attend
each Thursday at 12:20.
Old Faces

Lately, many visitors came to
our campus. Some of them were:

ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA

The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sor-
ority is truly a thing of beauty,
at least other people on the cam-
pus seem to think so.

(First of all, the campus as a
whole chose lovely Miss Henrice
Thomas to reign as their campus
queen for the school year 1953-
s4. Mrs. Beatrice Doe was chos-
oii as one of her attendants.

[>ovely Delores Perry was chos-
en again as the Alpha Phi Alpha
Sweetheart.

^Helen Battiste reigns over the
Sphinxmen this year as "Miss
Sphinx" of 1953-54.

.Loretta Van Ellison was chosen
as Miss Alpha Kappa Alpha for
the year 1953-54. Miss Virginia
James and Miss LaVerne Perry
served as her attendants.

Francine Ivery was queen of
Trades and Industries and for
campus beauties Nell Wash-
ington, LaVerne Perry and De-
lores Perry were chosen.

Keats said that "A Thing of
Beauty is a Joy Forever." If
that's the case, Gamma Upsilon
Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Al-
pha Sorority is truly a "joy for-
ever."

SIGMA GAMMA RHO

Alpha Iota Chapter starts
the 1953-54 year with the follow-
ing roster:

jAlma Ford, President; Ruby
Harrington, Dean of Pledgees;
Francie Howard, Treasurer ;
Mary Hagins, Secretary; Audria
Spells, Chairman of Program
Committee.

The chapter has planned a
program for the coming year
which will be in keeping with
scholarship, finer womanhood,
service and greater progress.
DELTA SIGMA THETA

The Wilcox gymnasium at Sa-
vannah State College on Satur-
day evening, November 7, was
full of laughter and gaiety dur-
ing the annual Raggedy Ann and
Andy Ball sponsored by the Del-
ta Nu Chapter of Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority, Inc.

During the intermission Miss
Helen Battiste and Mr. Theo-
dore "Bunky" Wright were
awarded prizes as a result of the
judges' decision and designated
to reign as Raggedy Ann and
Andy.

Some folks in looks take so
much pride, they don't think
much of what's inside. Bangs.

Corduroy and velvet, along
with knit seems to be quite fash-
ionable this year. Be wise,
ladies, be the clever shopper, use
good taste but don't be elaborate.
Seek the washable corduroy and
velvet accessories to complement
your outfit. These fabrics, to an
extent, are year 'round, so a
hint to the wise . . . purchase
garments that may be tubbed.

Then ladies remember ... a
well dressed young lady must be
well groomed. Check the finger
nails and polish, carry a suede
brush in your purse, a compact
with the necessary utensils and
above all, a handkerchief. The
little things of life are the im-
portant ones.

RECEPTION FOR ARTISTS AT COLLEGE CENTER

Culture at Our
Fingers' Tips

By Joseph Brown '57
A large, fashionably dressed
crowu gatnereu at meiurim Audi-
torium on iNOvemoer J, 193J, to
witness a great concert, our first
lyceuui program oi tne year, rea-
lureu in mis concert were: uer-
aluine Overstreei. soprano; Rob-
ert Mcrerrin, baritune; Amelia
Myers, accompanist.

Miss Overstreet received nu-
merous applause, wnen sne

opened the program witn "Dove
bono," trom "ine Marriage of
Figaro," by Mozart. Sne has had
no uinicuity in launcning a ca-
reer on several fronts. Following
her Cnicago debut in 1946, sne
appeared as soloist with the Chi-
cago Symphony in 1947. Substi-
tuting at the eleventh hour for
Dorothy Maynor. she won cheers
from an audience of 3,000 people
in Minneapolis.

The singing of Robert McFer-
rin is one of the few real thrills
in music today. The great young
baritone possesses a voice of
soaring splendor, used to perfect-
tion throughout its phenomenal
range. To his rich native en-
dowment as vocalist and artist,
Robert McFerrin adds an excep-
tional personal intensity and
dignity which stamp his singing
as unforgettable. He attended
Fisk University for one year; he
then began his study at Chica-
go's school of music. He has had

lead roles in "The Green Pas-
tures" and in "Lost in the Stars."
He was the first Negro artist to
perform in "Rigoletto" in this
country. Mr. McFerrin feels that
Metropolitan Opera is something
great for him. He also stated
that he has been working toward
this goal.

After the concert, the reception
was held in the college center.
Everyone was served delicious re-
freshments, and met the stars.

This was a great experience in
which we had the pleasure of
witnessing a concert of superb
performance.

Your columnist wishes the
stars much success in the future.

'oleridge E. Braithwaite, had worked diligently and unrelentlessly
n order to gain the perfection of performance that was displayed.
The soloists sang with ease Glee Club; "'Behold That Star,"

nd with an unusual amount of

vere so effective that everyone
in the audience was enveloped
by the Christmas Spirit . . .

Old Friends to Trust! Old Books
To Read! Alonzo Aragon

The Yuletide season brings
good cheer to the library. It's
a time for taking from their
niches all those old but priceless
pieces of our literary heritage.
The Story of Christmas is stilt
being written, but none surpass-
es the beauty of the stories told
many, many years ago.

All of us have read our Bible
story of The Wise Men, Very
few of us have read and com-
pared the Revised Standard Ver-
sion of the Christmas. Now is a
good time to make our obser-
vations on this modern language-
translation.

An unusual book for everyone
at Christmas is M. L. Becker's
Home Book of Christmas. It
contains the best of the season-
al stories by distinguished au-
thors. The book is arranged in
sections following the events of

Christmas: Christmas Eve, The
Magi; The Preparations; The
Waits ; The Great Day : The
Stockings; The Tree; The Din-
ner. It Is rich in carols, songs
and poems for each group. This
title is recommended for first
purchase to anyone wishing an
all-in-one Christmas book.

Charles Dickens's Christmas
Books contains the universal
Christmas story "A Christmas
Carol;" "The Chimes" and "The
Cricket on the Hearth."

Washington Irving's chapters
in his Sketch-buok describing an
old English Christmas can be
reread annually: "Christmas,"
"The Stage Coach," "Christmas
Eve," "Christmas Day" and "The
Christmas Dinner."

Savannah State

Into its Biggest Building

Program in Years

Traveling around the campus of Savannah State College, \
Georgia's largest institution of higher education for Negroes, one
can see a dream coming true, five construction projects already
initiated. The ground has already been broken and land being
leveled for the annex to the famous Wilcox Gymnasium.

This annex will make it possible for a larger and better Health
and Physical Education program. It will supplement the gymnastics
facilities and make it possible for more modern gymnastic operators
and a better gym for intramural, as well as intercollegiate compe-
tition. The Shatter Construction
Company of Hinesviiie, has al-
ready set up their office on the
campus and construction is pro-
ceeding as rapidly as humanly
possible.

L^Ftfe Century Heating Plant,
located between Camilla Hubert
Hall and Meldrim Auditorium, is
nearer completion, with pipes
being laid connecting the plant
with the numerous campus
buildings. This will enable Sa-
vannah State College to have a
uniform heating system and
equipped with modern heating
machineries. Thomas Bretting- (^Tffe annex to Hammon Hall
ham and Company of Augusta has already taken form. This
is constructing the heating construction is being directed by
plant. the Office of Buildings and

Work Progressing

The work on the New Men's
Dormitory, opposite Jlill Hall, is
progressing very rapidly. The
foundation and pillars for three
floors have already been com-
pleted. Byck Worrell Construc-
tion Company is building the
New Men's Dormitory. This new
dormitory will help supplement
the dormitory facilities at Sa-
vannah State College and it will
be equipped with modern furni-
ture, making the Men's Dormi-
tory more home-like and con-
venient.

Henry Van Dyke's Story of the
Other Wise Man is reread every
holiday season with continued
appreciation and understanding.

From now until December 26
no new book could be more at-
tractive than these old favorites.
The week after Christmas most
of us can find some time to
catch up on new books we in-
tended to read but . So shop

The Meaning of God's Gift to the World

"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will
toward men-" Christmas is a day
designated in remembrance of
the birth of Christ. The day
that a gift for the entire world
was presented.

This divine present was ac-
cepted in a stable in the little
town of Bethlehem. The mean-
ing of God's gift cannot be over-
emphasized because of the sig-
nificant part that it plays in our
world of chuos. The gift of
which Isaiah spoke: "For unto
us a child is born, unto us a son
is given: and the government
shall be upon His shoulder: and
His name shall be called Won-
derful, Counsellor, The Mighty
God, The Everlasting Father. The
Prince of Peace."

Jesus, the Son of God, was the

gift to the world. He was born
in a lowly manger, lived in poor
surroundings and grew up in a
confused world attempting to
establish the high ideal of peace
and good will.

Christmas is a time when we
as universal brothers should bury
all thoughts of hatred and strife;
lay down our arms, our doubts,
and look forward to an everlast-
ing life of peace and good will.
Peace and good will are the
fundamentals of the gift of God.
The singing of Christmas carols,
the sending of seasonal cards
and the giving of gifts will in-
still in us the meaning of God's
gift to the world.

The Tiger's Roar staff wishes
you a Merry Christmas and a
Happy and Prosperous New Year!

What Christmas Should Mean to Us

I wonder if we really under-
stand the true meaning of
Christmas. Is it just another
holiday, a day for frolicking and
having a good time? We seem
to embark upon the Yuletide
Season with little or no knowl-
edge of its significance and what
it should mean to us.

Christmas Day. December 25,
has been set aside as the birth-
day of Jesus, "the Saviour" of the
world. Everywhere this day
should be a day of worship,
prayer, and glorification to Jesus
Christ. Certainly it is a day of
celebration but not the kind to

tomed. We should thank God
for sending to us His Son. Jesus,
who came to save the world.
Then, too, we should give thanks
to God for enabling us to have

the privilege of enjoying another

Christmas Day. When the shep-
herds saw the star which led
them to Jesus, "they rejoiced
with exceeding great joy."

Let us make this Christmas
a glorious day. Let us bow our
heads in sincere prayer and re-
solve to give to God this com-
plete day of worship and every
day that follows.

Let us sing as the angels sang,
"Peace on earth good will to
men" and make our Christmas,
not just another holiday, but
the birthday of Jesus Christ. Let
us he guided by that same star
the shepherd saw in the east
and guide our lives to Christ and
His teachings. And as we enter
upon a New Year, let us con-
tinue to keep Christ in our lives.

A Christmas Message

It is always a pleasure to ex-
tend greetings to the students
of Savannah State College at
Christmas time. At no other
time during the academic year
are hearts and attitudes better
conditioned to the finest ideals
of our culture. It is a time when
one remembers friends and those
who are in need. It is a time
also when individuals broadcast
wishes of joy to all men alike
irrespective of relationships. If
this spirit of Christmas were not
so fleeting, and if it could be
retained by some means through-

out the year, the joy of living
would be immensely enhanced.
While the students of Savannah
State College are observing and
celebrating the 1953 Christmas,
it Is my wish that they may de-
vise ways and means of increas-
ing the longevity of this inter-
est in the fellowman. May a
greater portion of this Christmas
remain with you and make our
college and world a greater joy
to mankind.

The Why's

of
Christmas

Ruby Simmons '54

Shirley Jenkins '54

We believe that people usually
misinterpret holidays because
they do not understand why we
should celebrate them or in what
activities we should participate.
When people understand one or
both of these factors concerning
international holidays, the cele-
bration of them will be quite dif-
ferent.

Christmas is an international
holiday that is often misused.
Do you know why Christmas is
celebrated carols are sung, dec-
orations used, gifts are given?

It is said that Christmas has
a two-fold significance: the re-
ligious, commemorating the
birth of Christ, and the social or
festive aspect, celebrating the
seasonal practices of many peo-
ple. Christmas, originally
"Chris tes Masse" i meaning
Christ's Mass or church festival
of Christl, is celebrated through-
out the Christian world as the
anniversary of the nativity of
Christ.

One of the most charming
ways of celebrating the holiday
is the custom of singing carols
Carols were imported into Eng-
land soon after the Norman con-
quest. The word "carol" means
almost any Christmas hymn.
The first carol was written by
Francis of Assisi in 1223 as a
means of singing praises to God
for giving us Christ.

The custom of decorating trees
and using other decorations at
Christmas time came from the
Germans. Boniface, who was
sent there as a missionary in
the eighth century, replaced the
sacrifices to idols by a fir tree
adorned in tribute to the Christ

Child.

The giving of gifts at this time
began when God gave the world
His only begotten Son, on the
day we call Christmas Eve. Later,
on the twelfth night, the three
kings offered the Holy Child
gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh. Christ eventually gave
His own life to save the world.
In an attempt to acknowledge
the greatness of the Divine Gift,
His followers marked this sea-
son by a general practice of ex-
changing gifts.

President.

Christmas
Thoughts

Solomon Green '55

I can imagine small children
preparing to hang up their
stockings for Santa Claus; col-
lege students doing their last-
minute shopping; loaded buses
and taxis zooming away with
the students homeward bound.
All seem to be determined, hope-
ful and aiming for the same
goal that of reuniting with
friends and relatives back home.
Christmas! Christmas! A happy
time for everyone. Think how
monotonous college life would
become if we did not have such
a holiday.

But remember that wherever
we go someone will be watching
us. caring for and protecting us.
I speak of Jesus. Let us not
forget that upon this day in
Bethlehem of Judea, a child,
Jesus Christ, was born to the
Virgin Mary in a stable because
there was no room for them in
the inn.

LOST VENTURE

By Julius Edward Reeves, Jr.
'54
When I have given my love,
And gained only solitude in

return,
1 find myself in a mist
Of weariness.

Nothing but loneliness am I
Webbed in, to dampen the

threads
Of life witn burning tears.
I endeavor to accomplish
High esteem in my venture
For a romance,
But never have I found
A part of my ideal companion
In any of my escapades.

Nearest to this was you,
But in our relations, you
Seem to depart from me.
Dauntlessly, I trust my
Unmatched love
In you.

And probably unconsciously
I am left to ponder
In a web of dreams,
Never ending in happy moments.
The only loving moment
I share with you, is when
I partake to unite my love
To its matured state in the high-
est
Esteem of life.

After this aire of joy,
All is done, and that web
Of loneliness closes me out
In a world of my own.
In this world, if you but
Knew that there is no greater
Love than My love for you.
My darling. My darling,
I love you much.
So much, 'till in my
Solitude, I find happiness
While I spin the thread
Of this moistened web,
In which I live to build
A dream life for you,
And only you.

In this out-moded life,

To my best, I shall

Perfect in a sort of

Utopia, those ideas I

Assume portray you most.

In my utmost ability,

It shall be yours, and yours for

keeps.
A surface of marble,
Walls of gold
And a roof to compete
With the sun.
You see, my love
This web is built for you,
And its composition must
Comfort your love.

Completed my task
In an aimless venture,
I shall ascend to the Gods,
To the star of Venus that
Guided me in life,
Where I shall find no
More solitude, and my
Web of moistened thread fades
away.

CHRISTMAS MELODIES

Farris M. Hudson '55
Oh dear hearts, can you guess

what I hear?
Sounds, along the course of the

air.
Melodies, from the breath of the

falling snow
Bring joy and happiness of the

season's show.

I wonder why are the stars so

bright?
And the melodies I hear are so

soft and light?

So you do understand as I can

see by your smiles.
The melodies are in honor of

the little Christ Child.

Joy is imparted to all of the
trees

By the glorious sounds of Christ-
mas melodies.

A HINT TO THE WISE

Nadene Cooper '55
Face life with dignity.
Solve your problems without

grief.
In life's journey there is misery.
Strive, you'll find relief.

Don't sit on the stool of do

nothing
Because things don't come your

way.
If you are to succeed in life,
You must work day by day.

When hard problems confront

you.
Don't try solving them with

doubt.
Your job is never completed,
Until you have worked them out.

If you are to go forward in life
You must forever do your best.
Through trials and tribulations,
You will achieve success.

And when I shall have

To you, who have "crossed the
burning sands" during probation
week, we take this time to con-
gratulate you. Although at times
you seemed to have wanted to
turn around and not complete
the journey, the urge to keep
going was back again and final-
ly it was completed. Now I'm
sure you can all look back and
say, that it was worth the effort
mid time that were spent for
that glorious hour. Again we
iongratu!ate you.

The spirit of Christmas has en-
tered the hearts of all Savannah
State students and we are now
i oking forward to the end of
i lie quarter when we'll be going
home. The Christmas Spirit has
t many of us to singing "I'll

Home for Christmas."
I wish you all a very Merry
Iiristmas and Happy New Year,
nd when we all return I trust
nr New Year's resolution will
. to study hard for better
;ades.

The Mistletoe
When we are home for Christ-
jjs and mistletoe is hanging
ound, do we really know why
's there? Mistletoe, a little
How-green plant with waxen
irries, is often nailed up over
'Ors and around the house for
coration at Christmas time.
During ancient times the
i ruids, a powerful religious group
ancient Gaul, Britain, and
eland, believed that mistletoe
is sacred, and gathered it in
solemn ceremony. The Saxons
* old England also prized it and
warded it as a symbol of peace,
lien warriors found it growing
ear a place where they were

fighting, they would declare a
truce. And thus it became the
custom to hang the plant over
the entrance of doors as a sym-
bol of friendship to all who en-
tered it. If we are under mistle-
toe today with loved ones, the
tradition is a kiss.

What happens to us in De-
cember? Wny are we full of
laughs and happiness and
gaiety? Aileen Fisner said that

In December
Everyone is merry now.
Lo walking down the street
And twinkly eyes and winkly eyes
Are all the eyes you meet.

Everyone is eager now

To shop and trim a tree,

And knowing smiles and glowing

smiles
Are all the smiles you see.

Everyone is jolly now,
This tingly-jingly season.
And only cats and puppy dogs
Can't understand the reason.

Everywhere there is hustling
and bustling as we all get ready
for the big day. Gay carols are
sung and heard everywhere. De-
licious smells of plum pudding
come from the kitchen and mys-
terious-looking packages appear
and disappear. Christmas is a
wonderful time!

In all the excitement of the
holiday many of us are apt to
forget the meaning of Christmas.
Chirstmas is the celebration of
the birth of Christ. It is be-
cause of His greatness and the
joy that He brought to us that
we remember His birthday.

A gift for your family and
loved ones will be more than a
gift because your Christmas gift,
if you plan and make It. is really
you.

Again. Merry Christmas! !

Leisure Wear
Glamor giants take lead

de-

signs for loafing

The current television era with
its emphasis on "at home" en-
tertaining has touched off a pop-
ular trend toward glamorous
lounging clothes that are com-
fortable and yet attractive
enough to wear in greeting the
most discriminating of guests.

Designers from coast to coast
have pulled every trick out of
the bag to create fascinating
styles in lounging clothes and
have designed glamorous pants
that are strikingly feminine.

Pants are being made of every-
thing from fine laces, velvets
and chiffons to denims decorated
with jewels. Styles vary from the
simple slack type to the gay and
fascinating, tapered bull fighter
pants. While there is a number
of plain, quiet styles in subdued
colors which can be worn every-
day and washed easily, many a
modern woman prefers the num-
erous gay loud patterns leopard
skin prints, and zebra stripes.

For the woman who does not
have the figure for the narrow
toreador pants, designers have
created attractive styles in pleat-
ed pegtops, bell bottoms, culottes
and pedal pushers. There are
also clever lounging costumes in
felt and jersey versions of robes
and skirts to add even more
variety.

The Silkiest Season

The thrill of this winter's eve-
ning fashions seems to lie in a
beautiful form of hide-and-seek
around the top of cocktail and
evening dresses.

New designers' devices to con-
ceal yet reveal are: the casual
looking but deftly planned drap-
ing, the rib length jacket that
hides a strapless dinner sheath
beneath, more important sleeves
that reach up to the shoulder
tims and imposing collars that
accentuate the bosom but de-
murely stop right at the shoulder
line.

Even the glamorous ball dress.
despite its strapless formality of
past years, often takes wide
camisole straps, giant stoles or
diagonal straps over one shoulder
with the other bare.

newcomers are Johnnie H. Mo-
ton, Nathan S, Mitchell, and Levy
N- Taylor, Jr. We, as Omega
men, are welcoming the neo-
phytes to an organization that
is developing and achieving from
the inspiration received from our
four cardinal principles Uplift,
Scholarship, Perseverance and
Manhood

We. as a fraternity, believe in
a strong brotherhood, and one
that is stable. And as we ap-
proach this Yuletide season, we
admonish you, too, to be brother-
ly toward your colleagues,
friends, classmates and instruc-
tors.

HERE'S TO VETERANS
James C. Cooper

The Veterans' Club, after hav-
ing organized under the advisory
of Mr. N. R. Freeman, has already
gone a long way in the school
year. We are quite satisfied with
our choice for president for this
year, Mr. James O. Thomas. He
is a veteran of some six years'
service in the Army, having at-
tained the rank of Tech Ser-
geant. This alone, supported by
such a brilliant showing of the
club in the homecoming festival,
is indicative of his capabilities
as a leader. Mention cannot be
made of all Mr. Thomas has
already contributed toward mak-
ing the club a success. Our presi-
dent may easily be considered as
having a versatile character; he
can be as shrewd or sympathetic
as necessity may deem. We are
looking forward to a prosperous
year under his leadership. Other
officers are : Messrs. Herman
Terry, vice president; Willie B.
Hooks, secretary; Henry John-
son, treasurer; Harold Duggins.
financial secretary; John Paul
Jones, parliamentarian.

The club wishes to thank Miss
Francine Ivery most sincerely
for being its queen on home-
coming. We are concentrating
on a more impressive way of
showing our gratitude.

The Veterans' Club wishes to
induce the membership of as
many veterans as possible and
that should be all who are en-
rolled at the college. Very soon
we hope to see a comfortable
percentage of the veterans as
bona fide members. Plans are
now being drawn to organize a
"pool" that might offer pecuniary
aid to deserving veterans at vari-
ous times. Such will receive a
minimum interest and only the
entire club can benefit by it.

It might be interesting to note
that the V.A. is not concerned
with whether you change your
MAJOR or not, as long as your
curriculum is leading to a B. S.
or A. B. degree and can be got-
ten within the time allotted you.
So, if you want to change your
major from Chemistry to Ele-
mentuary Education, it may be
done without consulting the V.A.

and you will not have used your
authorized ONE CHANGE OF
PROGRAM.

The committee of the Student
Loan Association has been de-
lighted in serving the students
of Savannah State College and
hope you have enjoyed the serv-
ice.

Nevertheless, we would appre-
ciate it, if more students would
purchase stock. As you know,
through your purchasing stock
enables the Student Loan Asso-
ciation to function. Please give
this consideration; for the com-
ing year we would like to have
more stockholders.

LATEST COLLEGE SURVEY SHOWS LUCKIES LEAD AGAIN

Last year a survey of leading colleges
throughout the country showed that
smokers in those colleges preferred
Luckies to any other cigarette.

This year another far more extensive
and comprehensive survey supervised
by college professors and based on more
than 31,000 actual student interviews-
shows that Luckies lead again over all
other brands, regular or king size... and
by a wide margin.' The No. 1 reason:
Luckies taste better.

Smoking enjoyment is all a matter of
taste , and the fact of the matter is Luckies
taste better -first, because L.S./M.F.T.-
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And
second, Luckies are made better to taste
better. So, Be Happy -Go Lucky!

I^Keligious Emphasis
Week Scheduled.

Gloria E. Spaulding. '57
Annually, a week is set aside to
place emphasis on religion. This is
a non-denominational activity which
serves to answer many of ihe perplexing
problems with which men and women
are confronted in such a changing
world.

The week is so divided as lo lake in
many of ihe phases of religion in gen-
eral. One of the diffcrenl features is
"skeptical hour" which serves to answer
some of the doubters and "doubtful
"Thomases* " questions.

Religious emphasis week serves to

enrich the minds of the young men and
women attending Savannah Stale Col-
lege. Gradually, many of them are be-
ginning to realize and appreciate ihe
benefits derived from such a worth-
while activity.

Young men and women should keep
in mind the Bible serves as our guide
to living in a complex world. By gain-
ing an understanding of many of the
biblical passage* in the Bible, wc can
learn to appreciate them as we would
novels by such authors as Frank Ycrby
and Paul I. Wellman.

Support the programs scheduled dur-
ing Religious Emphasis Week, March

Patience - Virtue

During the recent constructional de-
velopment of our college, we can ob-
serve an overflow of activity all over
the campus. Some of these are: The
construction of a men's dormitory; a"
annex to Wilcox Gymnasium; the build-
ing of a centralized healing plant; an
independent water supply for the col-
lege; renovations of Hammond and
Meldrim Halls.

Realizing that all of the constructions
just mentioned are for the growth of
our institution, we should accept the
inconveniences that accompany them un-
reluctantly and without hardships and
realize the value of the things thai we
have already and are striving to pre-
serve. As serious thinking students of
Savannah State College and prospective
leaders of America, it is our duty and
responsibility to look upon such tilings
as milestones of our culture and ad-
vancement.

In early childhood, we were taught
that the little tilings are the essential
elements which constitute a firm and
solid foundation for happiness and pros-
perity. Why not make this a present
day application? This can he done by
abstaining from those things which con-
tribute to the unattractiveness of our
campus due to construction construc-
tion, and by perpetuating within our-
selves a feeling of tolerance and en-
durance.

Truly ibis problem is a serious and
complicated one; yet, it can be solved
with a little forethought. The best
way to solve it is by unity. Wherever
there is unity, there is strength;
wherever there is strength, there is
power. Unity, strength and power yield
work and accomplishment.

Fellow students, let us give this mat-
ter consideration. Our patience is so-
licited, our thoughtfulness will be ap-
preciated and our cooperation is in-
dispensable.

Make the New Year Prosperous

By Marj' L' s Faison 7 56
As New Year's Day, the first of
January bears a prominent place in tin-
popular calendar, it is a custom for us
to see the old year out and the new
year in with the highest demonstration
of merriment and conviviality. To hut
a few, the day is a memorandum of the
subtraction of another year from the
little sum of life. With the multitude,
the top feeling is a desire to express
good wishes for the next twelve months'
experiences of their friends and similar
benevolence on the part of others.

No matter how successful we have
been in the past year, we look forward
to the coming year with more success.
With this in mind, wc should be guided
by certain principles.

The golden rull must be followed.
Under our constitution and laws, life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness arc
the inalienable rights of all men. No
one has the right to deprive another of
bis inalienable rights. It follows then
"do unto others as you would have them
do unto you."

take:

must not go into partnership with
In a partnership the partners
pposed to work together for the
interest, but with Satan as a
you do all ihe work and lu-
re ward.

Honesty must be practiced. This is
a i|iieslion of character. The law de-
mands that all men shall be honest hut
the maximum say it is the "best policy"
to he honest. To be honest, truly, a
man must be fair in everything that
pertains to his fellow.

Finally, we must keep an eye on the
future. It is true that we are living
in the present but we do not stop with
today or stand still. The past is dead
and we should let the past bury the
past. No one can proceed if he must
start anew every tomorrow that comes
to him in life. He must have done
some tiling that can not be completed
except in the future.

We must shape events, our lives and
our doings to make this year a pros-

Current News

Ilj Thomas R. Evans, '55

The announcement by President
Eisenhower that tile United Stales is
willing to discuss a world atomfor-
peacc pool plan with Russia slill holds
the spotlight on international news.

This proposal by the United Stales is
aimed at breaking tile long-stnnding
deadlock on ullimale control of the
atomic and hydrogen weapons in war-
fare.

I predict, that when the Big Four
loreign ministers meet in Berlin on
January 25, they will accept these pro-
posals with, perhaps, some changes.

President Eisenhower's Stale of the
Union message drew considerable criti-
cism as well as applause. When the
chief executive failed lo include recom-
mendations of strengthening civil rights,
lie left himself open for attack by mem-
bers of Congress who have been cham-
pioning civil rights legislation. In mak-
ing proposals dealing with reductions of
voting age, lax reductions and methods
of handling homefront communists, the
President made it possible for other
fractious and cliques to form buttle
lines against him.

In the entertainment world, the sur-
prise marriage of (he great Yankee
Clipper, Joe DiMuggio, to the most
talked about female actress, Marilyn
Monroe, brought quite a surpri-e lo the
American public. It had been rumored
that the two were engaged. Will the
marriage be a success or will it follow
the general Hollywood trend? Only
time will tell.

Let's look in on the sports world. In
collegiate liasketball. Kentucky still re-
mains unbeaten am! the nation's No. 1
team. There are two more unbeaten
learns in ihe collegiate rank. They are
Duqucsnc and Western Kentucky.

I predict that Duqueene will he na-
tional champions when the season is
over. The "Dukes" really have a team
this year.
ANALYSIS

This is the first of a scries of articles
that this reporter will do of this nature.
I hope that it will benefit the social
science majors in particular as well as
the other students.

I believe that an alom-for-peuce pool
plan would benefit all nations. This
means that no longer would the threat
of atomic destruction be feared. It
has been established that atomic energy
can he converted into useful purposes
as well as destructive ones.

If the Russians refuse lo accept these
proposols by the United States at the
Big Four Foreign Ministers' conference
in Berlin on ajnuary 25, I am forced
to believe that they do not want world
peace.

The stand of the Administration on
tax reductions, reductions in voting age
and civil rights will be felt in the com-
ing Congressional election. Some of
the promises have not been fulfilled.

The slight alteration in the Russian
foreign policy somewhat sways the
American public in believing thai
Maleukov wants lo cooperate with the
West,

Books for the
New Year

One of the nicest things about our
New Year's resolutions is that they
show we have taken time to think about
our activities during the past year and
found them wanting. Why else would
we moke those promises to do belter
work, participate in more activities or
read more for recreation?

Some of our library patrons share
with us their impressions of "The Best
Rook I Have Read This Year"

"I recommend lo all lovers of good
books THE CARDINAL by Henry
Morion Robinson. Though not a cur-
rent best seller, it should be a must
on your' reading list.

It is a warm, human, well written
story' of a Catholic priest who rose
from a humble beginning to a high
office in the Catholic Church and be-
came a wearer of the red hat. The
muin character embodies qualities of
not one priest but several priests who
in some way left or make an impres-
sion upon the author.

Though written about a Catholic
priest this book is by no means wholly
Catholic and, I am .ure, will be en-
joyed by all who read it.

1 do not hesitate to say that it is by
far one of ihe best books I have ever
read." Miss Mildred E. Marquis.

"DEATH HE NOT PROUD, by John
H. Gunlher is not the usual type of
biography that is read every day, but
the memoir of Mr. Gunther's son who
has passed through the gates of the
Eternal.

Mr. Gtinther combines all of the
facts of his son's life before and dur-
ing the long years of illness .recover)',
and the time of his death.

Truly, this biography was superbly
written, and I advise all literary en-
thusiasts who have not read this book
to read it and see if they don't feel
a* I did." George Johnson.

"For the more mature mind CLARA,
by William L. Coleman, is an excellent
novel of race qualities rather than race
prejudices Out of ihe heat and vio-
lence of ihe smalltown South comes this
story of a 'mouldering struggle be-
tween servant and nn-tress for the love
and life ol one weak, drink-sick man.

This i- a book ibal you will long
remember," Mrs. Daisy Fruser.

STUDIES IN LEADERSHIP, ed.
by Gouldner, is a comprehensive study
of leaders und leadership. Of particu-
lar importance is the chapter entitled
Leaders Among Negroes in ihe U. S.
This chapter deals with the philosophy
of Booker T. Washington, W. E. B.

*58

"Music hath churm to soothe the
savage breast . . ." On January 18,
1954, we were honored with a wonderful
concert given by Mr. Alfredo Campoli,
"herculcs of violinists," accompanied by
Mr. Wilton Mason.

Mr. Campoli is among the greatest
violinists of our lime. A studenl of bis
father, violin professor and leader of the
Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome,
Campoli began his concert career in
London when he was only ten years
old. Within three years, he won ten
music prizes and five years later won
the coveted Cold Medal of the London
Musical Festival for his performance
of the Mendelssohn Concerto.

Campoli is today one of the great
European violinists. He bus been guest
soloists under the batons of such fa-
mous conductors as Beccham, Ward,
Boul and Susskind. The virtuoso has

Tartini. Music was superbly played
that ranged from the 17th to the 20th
centuries. The program was climazed
with La Campanella by Nicolo Pagani-
ni-Kreisler. The applause encouraged
ihe virtuoso to return with a modern
day encore.

Mr. Campoli has several concerts to
give before returning lo England. We
were fortunate because we were among
the first in the United States to hear
him.

The theme for Religious Em-
phasis Week this year is "Reli-
gion, Key to Better Living." Keys
will appear in the College Corner
Shoppe, B. J. James', The Col-
lege Center and other sections
of the campus. Leon Jones is
busy getting the keys ready for
the Week.
Administrative Officers All Out

to Cooperate With Religious
Emphasis

All of the administrative offi-
cers of Savannah State College
have been working with the Re-
ligious Emphasis Week Commit-
tee to insure a suitable atmos-
phere for worship and study in
religion.

Coach T. A. Wright scheduled
his basketball games in such a
manner that no games will be
played during Religious Empha-
sis Week and has consistently re-
fused to make any changes that
will conflict with The Religious
Emphasis Program. Also, Regis-
trar Ben Ingersoll has for two
years adjusted pre-registration
to the Religious Emphasis Week.

President W. K. Payne has ad-
justed the faculty meetings to
the advantage of Religious Em-
phasis each year since he has
been in office. Dean T. C. Meyers
has scheduled final examinations
to the advantage of the Religious
Emphasis Program this year.

The Choir Will Be in Church for
Religious Emphasis Week

Dr. Coleridge Braithwaite has
agreed that the college choir
will sing for Morning Worship
during Religious Emphasis Week.
The religious life program for
this term has no plans for regu-
lar appearances of the choir in
Morning Worship.
Retreat to Be Early This Year

The retreat, an outstanding
feature of Religious Emphasis
Week, will be held early in the
morning this year. According to
Harold Duggan, Chairman of the
Retreat Committee, it is hoped
that the worship service and
breakfast can be over in time
for the participants to be back

on the campus and in class at
9:00 A.M. Students with 8:20
classes and who anticipate going
on the retreat should see Rev.
A. J. Hargrett on Wednesday.
Popularity of Religious Empha-
sis Week Program Due to Ef-
forts of Reverend Arm-
strong
The present popularity of Re-
ligious Emphasis Week at Savan-
nah State College is due largely
to efforts of a man, known by
but few, if any, of the present
students of Savannah State Col-
lege. It was Reverend Ernest
Armstrong, College Minister in
1948-49, who changed the pat-
tern of Religious Emphasis Week
observances that had been wit-
nessed by the students and fac-
ulty.

In the meantime, Mr. Arm-
strong applied to the University
Christian Missions for a mission.
The mission was granted, and
during the second year of the
college pastorate of Reverend
Andrew J. Hargrett, officials
from the University Christian
Mission came to the campus and
enlarged on the pattern initiat-
ed by Mr. Armstrong.

It was Lee Mark Daniel, a '53
graduate, who took the week over
as a student project and greatly
enhanced the administration's
respect for the ability of stu-
dents to engineer such an im-
portant activity.

Business Places to Share in
Religious Emphasis Week Spirit

Three commercial businesses
and the College Center have
promised support of the ap-

Frank Tharpe, owner of the
College Corner Shoppe, and B. J.
James, proprietor of B. J. James'
Confectionery, have pledged to

The Doctor
and God

By S. M. McDew, Jr.,
College Physician

In the beginning there was
God. To those men and women
engaged in the sciences, particu-
larly medicine, there has always
been a gap between science and
religion.

When God created man, He
made him master of all things
on the face of the Earth.
Through man's ingenuity, skill,
and creative ability, we have the
telephone, telegraph, radio, tele-
vision explosives, A-Bomb, H-
Bomb ah- craft, and other Inven-
tions and discoveries. Specifi-
cally with regard to medicine, we
have such aids as anesthesis,

Emphasis Week, 1954. Mr. Carrington holds the A.B. degree from
Livingstone College, M.A. and B.D. degrees from Oberlin Graduate
School of Theology and the S.T.M. degree from Union Theological
Seminary, New York. He has had wide experience in the field of

Howard University. At present, he is pastoring St. Catherine's

Why Student Council Supports
Religious Emphasis Week

TIMOTHY U. RYALS, President. Student Council
In a world of turmoil, confusion, and doubt, we find a week of
meditation very helpful and inspiring. The Student Council realizes
and feels that religion plays a significant role in developing the
whole individual.

To have faith in something or
someone, serves as a stimulus or
an urge to help one reach the
goals he sets and gives one
courage to approach the ultimate
goal.

Religion is a belief in God or

surgery, penicillin, and varied
equipment.

Today, very few ailments and
diseases of the human body have
not been mastered. Yet, science
is unable to exercise control
over life and death. Therefore.
we recognize an inadequacy in
medicine. We are unable to ex-
plain satisfactorily why certain
scientific principles and theories
sometimes fail despite all we
know and do. As a result, we
are forced to accept the belief
that a supreme being is omnipo-
tent with regard to mankind and
all elements of the universe.

I believe that the true physi-
cian is aware of the need for
God's close association in the
medical profession. Consequent-
ly, in all his undertakings, the
doctor evidences a faith in God.
Prayer, too, is an essential tool.
Faith and Prayer can be likened
unto a crutch used by a lame
man. It is unnecessary to labor
the point that we are instru-
ments in His hands. Without
Him we can do nothing.

supernatural powers. Christian-
ity is the belief in Christ and
his teachings. Most students be-
lieve in Christ because he was
a good leader, a true friend and
kind to everyone. In order for us
to be good leaders and be suc-
cessful, we must also possess the
desired qualities truth, honesty,
kindness and the insight to help
mankind maintain better social
relations.

The Student Council is pa-
tiently awaiting the arrival of
this Week, and goes out whole-
heartedly to support it.

Review Of '53
Religious Observance

By Elmer Warren, '55
Dr. William Faulkner was the
guest speaker for Religious Em-
phasis Week of 1953 at Savan-
nah State College. It is felt
that Savannah State's future
leaders digested the enlighten-
ing addresses and speeches made
by Dr. Faulkner.

Dr. Faulkner stated that peo-
ple, especially college students,
should be sensitive to the social
rights and needs of others. We
should have a capacity for inde-
pendent thinking and critical
evaluation.

Improving Our Moral Life

Each year, a week is set aside
to emphasize religion. During
this week our campus is filled
throughout with a religious spir-
it. Programs based on Christian-
ity and fellowship with God and
man are presented. These pro-
grams serve to enrich our minds
and perpetuate our spiritual
growth and development.

Even though there is a week
set aside solely for the purpose
of emphasizing religion, it is not
a wise idea to try to improve and
make all necessary corrections
that are needed to be made in
one week.

The moral side of life and the
social side of life are different;
yet, they are woven so closely
that they cannot be separated.
We are living in a "Progressive
Age," an ever changing society.
In order to maintain our balance
and equilibrium, we must change

along with society. This cannot
be done by merely modifying our
social characteristics, but our
moral characteristics as well.

At this stage of life, we should
realize that religion is one of
the basic fundamentals of hu-
man development. It stimulates
our desire to be respectful; it
helps us to develop a whole-
some outlook on life, and most
of all, it helps us to get along
with ourselves and with others.
It also increases our love for our
Alma Mater, in that it gives us
a better appreciation of the op-
portunities here at Savannah
State College.

Don't let your interest in im-
proving our moral standards die
when religious emphasis week is
over. Instead, may it flame up
spontaneously, warm the campus
atmosphere and burn continu-
ously.

Make Best of What You Have

Nadene Cooper '55
Unfortunately, there are no
two people identical. Each indi-
vidual has individual character-
istics or individual differences.
It Is up to each person to dis-
cover the dominant traits that
he possesses and develop them to
the fullest capacity.

Perhaps you are unable to be
a Marion Anderson, but there is
a need for another Mary M. Be-
thune. If you cannot be a Dr.
Ralph Bunche, then be an Adam
Clayton Powell. There are plenty
opportunities awaiting you.
All of us can be great if we

will only realize that people sel-
dom become great from security,
but from risk. Most of us have
a desire to become great, to reach
the top. It must be understood
that what we want is at the top
of the ladder and can only be
obtained by climbing step by
step. There must be special ef-
forts made to accomplish any-
thing worthwhile. Advancement
and prosperity necessitate work
and making the best of what we
have.

We should give the world our
best and someday the best will
return to us.

Reading for Information And
Pleasure

Solomon Greene '55
Since the author of any writ-
ten material may have more ex-
perience about his topic than we
have, we may never understand
his topic as well as he does, but
we should understand the writ-
ten work well enough to make a
satisfactory report. Reading for
information, obviously, is more
important and more difficult to
do than reading for pleasure;
therefore, one should strive to
learn the skill of reading for in-
formation first. Furthermore.
one should always strive for bet-

ter speed and better comprehen-
sion,

As a prerequisite to good read-
ing, a student should possess a
good collegiate dictionary and.
other than using it to increase
his vocabulary, he should strive
to define and pronounce all new
words that he encounters. The
student should have a critical
mind and be able to evaluate
readings for what they are worth
when reading for information,

Reading is one's ability to un-
derstand the point of or depict
the thought from a written

News Analysis

Thomas R. Evans '55
ON THE BRICKER AMEND-
MENT. The Bricker group, most
of the Old Guard and the isola-
tionist wing of the Republican
party, is determined to curb the
executive power. The plan would
give Congress greater powers
than it now has in the making of
treaties and executive agree-
ments. Senator Bricker says
"the objective is to prevent the
United States from joining any
world government scheme." I
predict if any treaty powers'
amendment is approved, Senator
Bricker will claim political credit.
ON THE BIG FOUR FOREIGN
CONFERENCE. I am forced to
believe now that Russia is bent
on holding fast to her position
in Europe even if at the cost of
blocking agreement on Germany.
At the same time, she is moving
to divide the West by "peaceful
overtures" that have varying
measures of popular appeal for
the Western democracies.

things are implied:

Be kind-hearted and true.

Eager to share in things that
I do.

Meet me half-way, which is

right.
Yield, when you are wrong.

Verbalize, it stands for self-ex-
pression.

Abstain from nagging, it ruins
friendship.

Love with sincerity, it is the
best policy.

Elaborate, when there is need
for clarification.

Never form conclusions, with-
out sufficient evidence.

Try to understand, under-
standing is knowledge.'

Ignore my faults, you have

some too.
Notice me, I am not to be

taken for granted.
Encourage me to always do my

best.

Won't you be a true Valentine' 1

The Coming Spring

Solomon Green '55

When willow trees weep and

mourn
It is then that spring is born,
And in minds love thoughts do

ring
The bells and joys of the coming
spring.

The coming spring is the time

of year
That wedding bells ring with

other cheers,
That express the love of the'

singing birds
And all of that, too. in other

words.

So through the heart pierces the

sword.
Blooming trees bear the load;
There, from nature we harvest

summer long
'Til the breeze of autumn brings

leaves down.

Manners Made Easy

The practice of good manners
is an art which can and should
be acquired by every college stu-
dent. It is very important to be-
come aware of the correct thing
to be done on all occasions, then
the performance of the act is
very easily done. Good manners
are in evidence whenever one is
polite, courteous and thoughtful
of others.

How often have you wished to
be as poised as your roommate?
Or do you wonder how a friend
of yours has such a "way" with
the girls? Or do you wish you
could always say the right thing
just as Anne does? Some people
seem to be born with that inde-
scribable thing called charm.
Others, after much practice, are
often able to acquire this asset.

Your library has several books
which may help you solve your
special problem. If you are wor-
ried about making introductions.

how to act when you are travel-
ing Pullman, or when to enter a
concert that has already begun,
why not try one of the many
etiquette books found on your
library shelves? Do you know
what is expected of you as a
week-end guest? Do you know
how to write notes of congratu-
lation or sympathy" 1 Are you up
on your tipping etiquette? The
answers to these and many other
questions can very easily be
found in these books;

Allen. If You Please.

Boykin This Way, Please.

Esquire. Esquire Etiquette. (Es-
pecially for men).

Stratton Your Best Foot For-
ward.

Stephenson. As Others Like
You.

Watson, New Standard Book
of Etiquette.

Wilson. The Woman You Want
to Be.

"Behavior is a mirror in which
everyone displays his image."
Goethe.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

LOMMTE'S

There Are Balls and Balls But

There is only one Sweetheart
Ball of S.S.C . and Monday eve-
ning's, February 15, Ball was the
one that topped them all. The
Ball began rolling when the guys
and gals of S.S.C. crowded the
floor for the most gala affair
since the "Western Hop." We
danced to the music of the Ten-
derly Band.

Many were there with their

sweethearts by their sides and in
their hearts. During intermis-
sion, Miss Ann Pierce, a fresh-
man, was announced Miss Sweet-
heart and was presented with a
box of candy by the vice prexy
of the Student Council. The
Kappas, not overlooking their
sweetheart. Miss Jeanette Pusha,
presented her with a box of
candy.

Interpretations of songs in
dance were done by Sarah How-
ard, Muriel Hatton. and Thomas
Johnson. Two charming young
ladies. Patricia Wright and Jean
Huff, tapped to the music of
"Glow Worm."

Organization Highlights

Here's to Veterans

The Veterans Club would like
to take this opportunity to wel-
come those veterans who are
coming to S.S.C. for the first
time. For your information, the
veterans here are organized. We
urge you to join our organization
so that it might benefit by what-
ever you may have to offer.
Please notice the bulletin boards
for notices of exactly when and
where we meet and understand
that you are cordially invited.

Any veteran who has been dis-
charged for any reason other
than a dishonorable one is eli-
gible for membership. What
your counselor thinks of you is
determined largely by whether
or not you are a member of this,
your own, organization.

Have you given any serious
thought to your N.S.L.T? Did
you know that you can get
$1,000.00 worth for only $.66 per
month, or any multiple of $500.00
worth up to $10,000.00 at the
same rate? Then you may pay
it monthly, quarterly, semi-an-
nually, or annually. After you
have paid the premium for one
year, you can borrow 94 of that
and be compelled to repay only
the small interest. However, you
may repay the principal when-
ever you wish. If you don't re-
pay the principal, that much is
deducted from the value of your
policy. Most of all, you may se-
cure a Form 9-886 from any V.A.
office, mail it to the District Of-
fice, thereby authorizing the V.A.
to deduct your premiums from
your monthly benefits. Isn't that
worth some consideration?

The Voice of the Y.M.C.A. . . .

Cleveland Lawrence '57

The members of the Savannah
State College Y.M.C.A. are striv-
ing to make this year a success-
ful one. Recently, they organ-
ized a basketball team. This
team will play against other "Y"
teams both in and out of town.

The "Y" debating team has
been organized also. It will, from
time to time, be debating some
of the major questions that face
our everyday living.

The "Y" sent two delegates,
Mr. Clarence Lofton, President,
and Mr. Eugene Issac. Advisor,
to the regional council held in
Atlanta, Georgia, in February.

This Christian organization is
one which you may feel free to
look in on at anytime. Member-
ship cards are available at all
meetings for those desiring to
become members.

Sallie M Walthour '55

Le Cercle Francais started the

nouvel year wit ha bang. We

welcomed a number of nouveaux
comarades. most of them being
members of the departement de
natural science.

There are beaucoup d' activi-
ties in store for the nouvel year.
The winter quarter activities for
which plans are now being made
are: "Le plus Beau Hommee"
contest, Uune partie francaise.
and the compilation of a scrap-
book. The scrapbook will be
placed on exhibition a' la fini of
the school year. Tout le monde
may participate in and enjoy
these activities.

Each seance of le cercle fran-
cais is concluded with some form
of social entertainment. The pri-
mary form of entertainment so
far has been the singing des
chansons. Included among the
songs are: "La Marseillaise," the
hymne nationale; the "real
gone" "C'est si Bon," a' la Eartha
Kitt and "La Vie en Rose."

Camilla Hubert House Council . .
The House Council of Camilla

Hubert Hall has given a series
of Social-education programs for
the development of the residents.
The first program was about
body care hair, skin, nails, etc.

On February 8, 1954, at 9:05
p.m. there was a demonstration
given by Mrs. Harriet Stone in
the Reception room of Camilla
Hubert Hall. Girls chosen as
models were Misses Mamie Davis.
Jewell Miller. David Hester and
Nell Washington. These girls
modeled play clothes.

Mrs. Stone gave a lecture on
how to wear foundation gar-
ments and the importance of
good posture as related to good
looks. After the lecture and dem-
onstration, prizes and refresh-
ments were enjoyed by everyone.

Mrs. Stone is a former Home
Economics instructor at Savan-
nah State College. She is now
an agent for Spirella and Deala
foundation garments. These
commodities were used for mod-
eling. Mrs. Stone is presently
resuming the role of housewife
and mother. Barbara Brunson,
reporter.

Nearly every day of the week
is set apart by some people as
Sabbath: Sunday, most Chris-
tians; Tuesday, Persians;
Wednesday. Assyrians; Thursday,
Egyptians; Friday, Mohammed-
ans; Saturday, Jews and Sev-
enth Day Adventists.

Mercedes Mitchell '54

History repeats itself in every-
thing-even fashions. Many years
ago "spool-heel" shoes and "can-
can" dresses, along with the nar-
row skirts with drapes on the
side, were greatly in demand.

As time marches on, these
same styles are returning with
different names. The "can-can"
dresses, in reality, are the bal-
lerina skirts worn with a crino-
line slip; the "spool-heel" shoes
are the famed capezios; the nar-
row skirts with the drapes are
actually the same; however, the
silk scarf is rapidly replacing the
primitive drape.

Another feature which is
creeping into "Mi' lady's "world
of fashion is the long free flow-
ing lines around the waist which
are so reminiscent of those
"roaring twenties." To be more
exacting, it would seem as
though the complete fashion era
was being reincarnated.

With the lengthening of the
waist comes the shortening of
the hem, which fashion experts
predict will range from fourteen
to eighteen inches from the floor
this season.

Coat dresses are still at the
prime in the season's run of lat-
est fashions. This too, is a de-
rivative of the past the old-
time "Princess dress."

This season, the coat dress is
done in smooth, silky looking
wools and in colors that are nei-
ther light nor dark. They are
always neutral colors, often dark
neutrals, importantly lightened
with checks, tiny stripes or a
dusting of white threads. This
garment is often referred to as
"The Dress of Sophistication":

Take good care of your clothes
In the fashion world History
will continue to repeat itself.

ITS ALL A MATTER OF TASTE

Charted Bet

When you come right down to it, you
smoke for one simple reason . . , enjoy-
ment. And smoking enjoyment is all a
matter of taste. Yes, taste is what counts
in a cigarette. And Luckies taste better.

Two facts explain why Luckies taste
better. First, L.S./M.F.T. Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco . . . light, mild, good-
tasting tobacco. Second, Luckies are ac-
tually made better to taste better . . .
always round, firm, fully packed to draw
freely and smoke evenly.

So, for the enjoyment you get from
better taste, and only from better taste,
Be Happy Go Lucky. Get a pack or a

The Student Newspaper
A Public Relations Agency

By WILTON C. SCOTT, Director of Public Relations

Reprint from The School Press Review February, 1954

Published by The Columbia Scholastic Press Association,

Columbia University New TLdtk City
Public Relations has been defined as the art of working effec-
tively with people. It is the tone of voice of an institution. It tells
the public what the school is doing and it tells the school what
the public is thinking. The student newspaper is the voice of stu-
dent expression; therefore, one

of the best ways to get to stu-
dents is by means of the stu-
dent newspaper. In a student
newspaper, the students inter-
pret their ideas. The school ad-
ministrators and faculty mem-
bers, as well as the public, can
learn what the students think
through the expressions in a
newspaper.

In the production of the news-
paper students should have the
opportunity to express them-
selves freely on policies, objec-
tives, and the school program.
Secondly, they should have fac-
ulty guidance but in order for
the work to reflect their think-
ing they should have freedom
of expression. Each issue Oi the
newspaper should be planned
with the view to the need of
the over-all public relations pro-
gram as well as to the specific
job it is to do and the audience
for which it is designed. There-
fore, the students and faculty
advisers who help to plan the
students' newspaper should de-
cide: "Why is the newspaper
produced? Who will read the in-
formation? What is the mes-
sage? How will the presentation
be made When should it reach
the reader? How is it to be dis-
tributed?

It is very obvious that the
size and type of student news-
paper will depend upon the mes-
sage, the reader, and the budget
available. A careful study should
be made to determine the size
and type of student newspaper.
The copy and pictures should
help drive home the message.
A situation that might work well
in one school might not work
well in another. In order to at-

tract a reader, it is advisable
to keep the arrangement simple.

It is good logic not to assume
that your student newspapers
are doing the desired job. A con-
tinuing evaluation program
should be determined by the
staff.

It is obvious that the purpose
of a student newspaper should
be: (1) to inform, (2) to inter-
pret, (3) to promote, and (4) to
record. A staff should always
endeavor to put its best foot for-
ward when issuing the official
student publication.

The student newspaper often
provides the first point of con-
tact with people who may be-
come important constituents of
the school. The appearance of
format, makeup, and content es-
tablish an image of the school
represented. In many instances
the student newspapers are the
official envoys of the school for
many who are already constitu-
ents. It should be remembered
that the student body says in

Think It Through

Savannah State College will
be host to the Press Institute.
April 1-2. High school, junior
high and college editors, news-
paper staff members, yearbook
staffs and faculty advisors will
be expected in large attendance.

The theme "Man's Right to
Knowledge and the Free Use
Thereof." will emphasize the
idea of some of the media
through which man expresses
himself. We can consider the
radio as one of the media for
expressing man's knowledge.
Through the influence of the
speaker's voice, stressing force-
ful persisting ideas, one can cre-
ate interest in important topics.
Interest in the gain of social
and political knowledge is large-
ly contributed to our society
by the newspapers and maga-
zines.

One of the most recent con-
tributions to free expression is
television; this column would be
incomplete without including it.
Television may be considered as
a combination of methods used
by the radio, newspapers and
magazines with the addition of
expressions through pictures.

We can see that man's right

to gain knowledge is found
aboundantly in our democratic
form of government. A govern-
ment by the people and for the
people can and will be supported
by the motivation received from
the radio announcers, the picto-
rial expressions and the hard
work of a writer. The urge to
defend and protect our right to
knowledge and the free use
thereof can never be cast aside.
It will enrich every aspect of
life, broaden our knowledge,
light up unknown avenues of
thought and discover new capa-
ciiies for living and growing in
a free society.

The youth of today will be
tomorrow's leaders, politicians,
teachers, lawyers doctors and
clergymen. Youth should begin
immediately to develop creative
thinking and interest in work-
ing out scientific methods for
solving problems.

"Man's Right to Knowledge
and the Free Use Thereof" may
be considered as the foundation
of tomorrow's achievements and
problems. You as students are
the priceless few who enjoy the
freedom of a democracy. Think
it through!

Keynotes to Success

Mary Lois Faison '54

The way to success in any-
thing is always an upward climb,
the down grade is always a flat
failure. In considering this mat-
ter, it will be well to remember
and bear constantly In mind,
that it is easier to slide down-
hill than it Is to climb up.

Character, education, industry
and wealth are the successive
stages on the road to success
and they follow in their regular
order.

Character belongs to every
man individually and can not
be copied from another. I do not
know what character is; I know
only that it accomplishes results.
Natural probity and Insight into
what you are doing your trade,
business or occupation, are the
factors that compose character.
Character differs from reputa-
tion in that a man may have a
bad reputation and still possess
a good character.
Education goes with character

and means more than learning
or mere knowing. It means ca-
pacity and ability to utilize what
you know.

Industry means diligence In
developing character and utiliz-
ing education for all they are
worth. "The hand of the diligent
maketh rich." said Solomon, He
also said, "The diligent gaineth
favor."

Wealth comes through the ob-
servance of the foregoing and
certain things which should be
added. For instance to become
Industrious you must give your-
self and your fellowman a fair
exchange of what you receive;
you must watch your intellec-
tual, spiritual and worldly wel-
fare.

Progressive men must seek op-
portunity which does not come
of itself and which was denied
them In the past. You must
make yourself, and follow high
standards.

The Making of
a Veteran

By DR. VERNON W. STONE
Innumerable requests have been
received for the publication of the
speech delivered by Dr. Stone in
Meldrim Auditorium, February 18.
1954. The delivery was made with-
out benefit of copyt hence, the
to/ 1 owing excerpt is edited.
A sobering influence Is being
exerted by veterans on campus-
es throughout the country.
These thinking men and women
are unwilling to accept "author-
itative" views. They are more
inquiring, more inquisitive, and
more practical in their approach
to life and its problems. Accord-
ingly, faculty members have
been forced to meet these "new"
individuals. No longer is the "es-
tablished" professor able to lec-
ture from ragged, dog-eared, yel-
lowed notes which went unchal-
lenged by pre-war students. The
instructor has been forced to
publish a new edition. This situ-
ation, of course, does not exist
at S.S.C.; but I assure you that
it has been very much in evi-
dence at other institutions.

What is a veteran? Webster
reports that the word has come
to us from the Latin veteranus,
meaning "old." with the influ-
ence of the Greek etos, meaning
"years." Hence, a consideration
of the combination presents no
difficulty in our arriving at the
concept that a veteran is one
who has had long experience,
and who, because of that experi-
ence, has become seasoned in
the occupation under considera-
tion.

Let us consider some of the
travel experiences which have
been provided our veterans. I in-
vite you to consider with me a
Negro serviceman who is being
drafted from Savannah, Geor-
gia. Imagine that he is head-
ing northward, via rail.

Washington, D. C. the nation's
capital. Is on the itinerary.
Upon arriving in Union Station,
he saw the building of which
he had seen so many pictures.
There it was! The Capitol was
brightly lighted, and it assumed
the role of a beacon guiding all
who would seek Its refuge. Our
serviceman walked toward the
Capitol, and it did supply a last-
ing memory. He recalled, from
his American history at Beach
High School, some facts con-
cerning the development of our
government. His mind went back
to 1776. The Second Continental
Congress was meeting in Inde-
pendence Hall, in Philadelphia.
The Declaration of Independ-
ence, for the first time In his
life, became vividly alive. Audi-
bly he muttered meaningfully:
When in the course of human
events it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the po-
litical bands which have con-
nected them with another . . .
Indeed he was pleased with him-
self. It was readily apparent that
American history Is not a fill-in
course; it is vital, practical, and
inspiring. He had frequently
confused this great document
with the Preamble to the Con-
stitution. They were now clearly
separable. Again, his mind was
focused on Philadelphia. This
time the year was 1787; the oc-
casion was the Constitutional
Convention; George Washington
was presiding. Our Negro ser-
viceman spoke with all the sin-
cerity which was his: We the
people of the United States, in
order to form a more perfect
union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defence, promote
the general welfare and secure
the blessings of liberty to our-
selves and our posterity, do or-
dain and establish this consti-
tution for the United States of
America. He looked around him;
he saw the Implementation of
the Constitution. There was the
Lincoln Monument, the Wash-

Creative Tributes

JUST AN EXPRESSION
OF THOUGHT

Armanda Cooper '55

While thinking of those who ore
about to bid our dear old Alma Mater
adieu and enter into various fields of
labor. I thought that I would express
my sincere hope for them a successful
and prosperous future through the let-
ters ol the phrase. "Happy Easter."

Have a heart that is pure, and
Appearance that is pleasing,
Patience where children are con-
cerned and
Politeness in speech and action.
You are a guide that youth will

follow.
Elevate good moral standards by

being an example.
Always reveal the smile and hide

the frown.
Sincerity Is what you may add,
Teaching Is what you multiply.
Envy is poisonous, you must sub-
tract.
Respect for yourself and others
will be divided.
With these thoughts ever present in
your mind, they will eventually be
transmitted to the heart and soul. Then
surely your profession will be more
meaningful to you. to those you leach

SPRING PROPOSAL

Solomon Green '55
Beautiful blooming springtime
Gay birds sing and build nests

in trees,
Naked trees are clothed with

leaves
And make love to the evergreen

pines.

Come to me my darling, come

to me!
Upon this proposal we must

agree
As long as youth, we'll love

together,
For after youth, love comes

never.
It is spring time, can't you see?
Come to me my darling, come

to me!

Beautiful blooming springtime,
To a lovely pole clings a vine,
Thoughts of love fill many

minds
And lovers steal kisses from

their kinds.
It is springtime, can't you see?
Come to me my darling, come

to me!

Campus Notes

Union Representative

Among those present at the
General Alumni Association
meeting at Savannah State Col-
lege on March 14 was an out-
standing former student of the
college. He was W. T Detreville,
representative and organizer of
International Pulp. Sulphite and

^respective Dietitians

Misses Beautine Baker and
Martha Dunn, seniors at Savan-
nah State, have fulfilled the
four-year undergraduate curri-
cula in dietetics and are now
ready to start their fifth year of
training which will enable them
to become full-fledged dietitians.

Miss Dunn has chosen the
Army as her career preference.

For the past month she has been
undergoing medical examina-
tions at Hunter Field in order
that she might qualify in every
respect for health requirements.
The Army offers the pay stipend
of $125 a month to dietetic in-
terns while in training. However,
upon completion of their work,
interns are graduated with a
commission of first lieutenants.
Appointments to training hospi-
tals are sent from Central Of-
fice in Washington, D. C.

Miss Baker has chosen Mi-
I'hael Reese Hospital. Chicago,
I'll., at which to do her intern-
ship.

Trends in Family Living

Plans are under way to make
(he night course. "Newer Trends
in Home Economics," more
glamorous and attractive. Some
highlights will include: Lecture
demonstrations by a Sherwin-
Williams demonstrator on keep-
ing continuity of design on wall-
paper and draperies; newer
trends in furniture and picture
decoration by an interior deco-
rator from one of the leading
furniture stores in Savannah.

Another interesting workshop
technique will be followed
through the topic. "Do you know
your electric housewares?" As
time progresses, other features

will be covered in foods and

clothing.

Organization Highlights

Here's To Veterans

This is the turn of the quar-
ter and the veterans' club would
like to take this opportunity to
acquaint itself with all new vet-
erans. Join your club, men!!

We would like to take this
time to thank Dr. V. W. Stone
for appearing as principal speak-
er and guest of honor on the
Veterans' Club program on Feb-
ruary 18, 1954. We believe that
Dr. Stone related very interest-
ingly the fine qualities and fac-
tors that come together to make
a veteran the man that he is.
We hold that we had top choice
in this person, and we are very
grateful for having been able to
secure his services. Our hat is
off, too, to Miss Hermenia Mob-
ley for her very fine rendition
which contributed so much to
the character of our program.

The Veterans' Club observed
Washington's Birthday at the
VJVW.'s Van Ellison post in Sa-
vannah. Georgia. The occasion
was a huge success; final plans
were formulated for the Savan-
nah State College Veterans' Loan
Association. Veterans are here-
by notified that the Veterans'
Loan Association is now in ef-
fect with comparable assets.

Kappa Alpha Psi

Fraternity News

The Kappas' Third Annual Va-
riety Revue will be presented on

April 21, 1954. at 7:30 P.M. in
Meldrim Auditorium. The par-
ticipants for the Revue have
been contacted and looking over
the probable program, it appears
that the Kappas have gone to a
great extent to present the best
entertainment ever presented on
the campus.

The brothers of Kappa Alpha
Psi have chosen various young
ladies who are competing for
that glorious title of "Kappa
Sweetheart. 1954-55." The broth-
ers are very proud of these young
ladies that they are sponsoring
in the contest and each broth-
er is working hard so that his
contestant will wear the crown.
The contestants are: Misses Lois
Cone, Hazel Harris, Dorothy
Heath. Genevieve Holmes, Sarah
Howard. Virginia Sheffield, Do-
ris Singleton and Vivian Wise.

The Kappas' Greek - letter
Scholastic Achievement trophy
will be presented to the Greek-
letter organization having the
highest cumulative average for
the past three quarters. This
award will be presented during
the Kappas' Annual Guide-Right
Ceremonies in April, Last year
the trophy was won by the Sig-
ma Gamma Rho Sorority. All
Greek-letter organizations are
urged to submit a complete ros-
ter to the Office of the Regis-
trar by April 1, 1954.

The Days
We Celebrate

THE DAYS WE CELEBRATE

Have you ever wondered just
what provoked certain holidays
that are observed during the 12
months in a year year in and
year out? Rarely does a month
pass which does not bring forth
a holiday, feast, festival, or an-
niversary for someone. All of
these spring from some signifi-
cant event which dates back into
the depths of history.

During the month of March,
the 17th day is set aside as St.
Patrick's day. St. Patrick, the
patron saint of Ireland, has been
honored and the anniversary of
his death has been celebrated in
America from very early times.
This has become such a well-es-
tablished and joyous occasion
that even those who cannot
claim Irish ancestry join in
"wearin' o' the green" and pay-
ing respect to the immortal
shamrock.

The 21st day of March gives
us a change in seasons and the
first day of beautiful spring.
This is the day of the vernal
equinox, the point at which the
center of the sun moves across
the celestial equator from south
to north. This marks the begin-
ning of spring in the northern
hemisphere. The word "equi-
nox." from the Latin for equal
night, signifies the time of the
year when day and night are
equal. September 22 brings forth
the Autumnal equinox and the
same procedure holds true for it.

April 1st is a day to which all
of us look forward; it is a day
set apart as a time when it is
permissible to play harmless
tricks upon friends and neigh-
bors. The impression prevails
that the custom has something
to do with the observance of the
spring equinox. It is of uncer-
tain origin, but it probably had
its beginning in France about
1564.

Easter is celebrated on April
18th this year. It is the princi-
pal feast of the ecclesiastical
year. It is now celebrated on the
Sunday after the first full moon
following the spring equinox.
Consequently, Easter moves be-
tween March 22 and April 25.
From 1916-1965 it occurs forty
times in April and ten times in
March.

These days become more sig-
nificant in our lives when we
know their origins and history.
The above mentioned are just a
few of the "special days" and
they have been presented main-
ly because they are celebrations
we have just observed and oth-
ers which we anticipate in the
near future.

THE COLLEGIATE COUNSELORS FRESHMAN PROJECT.

Members of the freshman class enjoyed an activity in the College
Center that was two-fold. There was a panel, presented by the
members of the class of '57, followed by entertainment games,
music, refreshments, (Locke Photo.)

'The Velvet Glove' A Great Success

picted the pleasures and sor-
rows of spiritual life. There was
an understandingly sympathet-
ic undertone that was instru-
mental in making the play a
tremendous success.

The cast of characters is as
follows: Mary Renshaw, Jean
Miller; Sister Athanasius Doro-
thy R. Davis; Sister Lucy, Ruby
Bess; Mr. Barton, Thomas John-
son; Professor Pearson, Johnnie
Carter; Sister Monica, Pauline
Silas; Bishop Gregory, George
Johnson; Father Benton, Melvin
Marion; Monsignor Burke, Irving

Music, between acts, was ren-
dered by Miss Victoria Baker.
Messrs. L. A. Pyke, V. W. Stone
and Joseph Brown.

Mrs. Ethel J. Campbell, the di-
rector of the S. S. C. Dramatic
Group, did a commendable job
in directing Casey's "The Vel-
vet Glove."

The Savannah State Dramatic
Group presented a play. "The
Velvet Glove," by Rosemary Ca-
sey, which kept the capacity au-
dience spell-bound. The play was
presented on March 11, 1954. in
connection with Religious Em-
phasis Week and certainly en-
hanced the success of the ac-
tivities for the religious program.

"The Velet Glove" is a comedy
in three acts and won first prize
in a play contest held by the
Catholic organization known as
"The Christophers." The story
concerns a young, male, history
teacher in convent school, who
is about to be fired because a
rich contributor to the church
objects to his liberal views; fi-
nally, the young radical is recon-
sidered because an even wealth-
ier lady refuses to make her
pledged contribution unless he
is taken back.

The characters displayed the
professional touch as they de-

in keeping with the philosophy

the preparation of the copy, the
students have done everything
possible to follow the rules of

The voice of student expres-

In view of the important role
that the students play in form-

sary that they show evidence of
being well prepared in all phases
of their work.

Public relations is the sum to-
tal of everything we do. People
judge us by the impression we
make. The student newspaper,
in transmitting that impression,
is an important, if not the most
important, of all public relations
agencies.

The Savannah State boys ad-

Claflin University, 85-84. This
was one of the most exciting
games at the tournament as the
lead changed hands numbers of
time. Savannah went in the
fourth quarter leading 62-60 as
both teams began to exchange
shots with each hitting most of
their attempts. With only sec-
onds left to play, Henry Praylo
made two free throws which
proved to be the deciding factor.

and symbols were crowding his
eyes faster than he could iden-
tify them. This day, our service-
man from Savannah was truly
living American history!

He sought one building in par-
ticular. He sauntered down
Capitol Street. Later he stood
before it. Imposing it was!
Its classical architecture, with
fluted columns capped by Co-
rinthian and Ionic motifs, fur-
nished the inspiration which
brought a lump to his throat.
He reverently looked upon it.
Yes, it was the Supreme Court
of the United States! Our Ne-
gro serviceman recalled the
Dred Scott Case of 1846. Despite
the fact that the decision had
been rendered against this slave,
there were some recent, favor-
able rulings the higher-educa-
tional cases in the Southern
states, the interstate commerce
commission cases, and others. He
wondered about the impending
decision with respect to the
school segregation cases. What-
ever that decision would be, our
draftee demonstrated a studied
appreciation of the weighty
duties and responsibilities of the
justices of the Supreme Court.
His thinking on this matter
brought him emphatically to
the conclusion that the vari-
ous Negro cases had been
predicated on a common base.
That factor was thought to be
the Fourteenth Amendment:

in the United States and
subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the Unit-

IR ALL A MATTER OF TASTE

Illi" 013

When you come right down to it, you
smoke for one simple reason . . . enjoy-
ment. And smoking enjoyment is all a
matter of taste. Yes, taste is what counts
in a cigarette. And Luckies taste better.

Two facts explain why Luckies taste
better. First, L.S./M.F.T.- Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco . . . light, mild, good-
tasting tobacco. Second, Luckies are ac-
tually made better to taste better . . .
always round, firm, fully packed to draw
freely and smoke evenly.

So, for the enjoyment you get from
better taste, and only from better taste,
Be Happy -Go Lucky. Get a pack or a
carton of better-tasting Luckies today.

Language Arts
Festival Held May 5-7

Sadie B- Carter, '55

The Statewide High School Language Arts Festival was heio
at Savannah State College May 5-7, 1954.

The main purpose of the annual conference is to develop greater
language competency among high school students. The program is

geared to stimulate students'

creative ability in language; to
improve language teaching
through the free, cooperative
exchange of ideas, information,
and materials among high school
teachers, consultants, and spon-
sors of the festival.

The Language Arts Festival is
planned as a learning activity as
well as an exhibition of talent.

Some of the main events that
took place were: verse writing,
creative prose writing, spelling,
oratory, current events discus-
sion, one-act stage plays, radio
skits, poetic interpretation, and
choral reading.

As an opportunity for teachers
to receive help with specific
problems in language teaching
and related activities, seminars
were planned in the following
areas: creative writing; the pro-
duction of radio skits and stage
plays; the teaching of oral lan-
guage; selectivity in radio, press,
television, and motion picture
offerings; poetic interpretation;
and the training of verse-speak-
ing choirs.

The 1954 festival was one of
the most interesting held at Sa-
vannah State College. The plan-
ning committee was headed by
Mrs. Louise L. Owens.

^Iger 's Roar Wins Award

The Tiger's Roar, official pub-
lication of Savannah State Col-
lege student body, was awarded
second place by the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association at
Columbia University in its an-
nual contest which closed on
March 12. Clarence Lofton, jun-
ior, is editor-in-chief of the
Tiger's Roar, and Miss Juanita
Sellers is faculty advisor.

We'll Need a Little Help

On Wednesday, April 28th, a
special noonday assembly was
called by President W. K. Payne
for the purpose of launching an
organized effort to clean and
maintain the campus grounds.
The President's plan was de-
tailed by Mr. Felix Alexis. Sup-
erintendent of Buildings and
Grounds. Approximately one-
half hour was allotted for the
paper-debris gathering. Start-
ling results were attained. Stu-
dents, faculty, and staff cooper-
ated as per expectations. There
is good reason to anticipate that
the idea will continue vigorously
in effect. Our current emphasis
is a phase of Governor Tal-
madge's statewide clean-up
campaign.

The old saying One thousand
people may pass while only one
may enter carries much truth.
Particularly is it applicable to
our present efforts.

Even the most distant visitor
has been heard to reaffirm the
beauty of the Savannah area.
As far as our campus is con-
cerned, there are few communi-
ties in the world on which Na-
ture has smiled so lavishly. On
every hand, the trees, the Span-
ish moss, the flowers, and the
contours bear witness to this
fact.

Who is to keep the campus
clean and thus voice approval of
God's handiwork? Obviously
those who enjoy the beauty and
who receive the credit for being
connected with the naturally
beautiful surroundings should
assume this task. Keeping the
campus clean and attractive is
indeed minor, In comparison
with the creating of It. Should

the students aid in the mainte-
nance? the faculty? the staff?
Each response must be in the
affirmative! Savannah State
College is our home. It is the
residence of a student for ap-
proximately four years, whether
he lives on or off campus. The
average number of years spent
in residence by faculty and staff
is considerably in excess of four
years. From the campus we de-
rive more than education on the
one hand and professional status
on the other. To it we are ob-
ligated to render more than
mere appreciation something
in accord with the benefits
reaped.

"What is your major?" A stu-
dent, selected at random, replies
proudly that he is in elementary
education. His training encom-
passes far more than the philo-
sophy of education, the curricu-
lum, and the psychology of
learning-teaching. Concomitant
learnings are continually influ-
encing our would-be professional

The Need For Leadership

The need for good leadership
among men has become increas-
ingly obvious in recent years.
The world is in need of qualified
people to take their places as
leaders, as guides or conductors
to steer their people to a safe
and profitable destiny. It is up
to us to prepare ourselves to
meet such a demand.

In considering preparation for
leadership, we pre to be mind-
ful of the qualities sought in a
leader those qualities that
are essential for effective leader-
ship. Some of these qualities
are: the ability to think clearly
and logically, the ability to ac-
cept criticisms both good and
bad, a feeling of security, a sense
of responsibility, foresight,
thoughtfulness, respectfulness,
and freedom from prejudices.
Leadership also necessitates ed-
ucation. We must note that an
educated person is one who

ties just mentioned are not
usually inherited, but are de-
veloped over a period of time by
special efforts.

As the leaders of tomorrow,
we should be mindful of our
responsibilities. The weight of
the world is thrust upon our
shoulders, not as scorn but be-
cause we are men and are looked
upon as the most efficient char-
acters in the field of leadership.

We should face life's problems
just as George Washington Car-
ver, Booker T. Washington,
Abraham Lincoln, Thomas
Paine. Ralph Bunche, and others
have done. These men had and
have courage and the will power
to go forward to make this
world a better place in which to
live. Now it is our task and
duty to launch out and do like-
wise. Are we willing to do our
part, meet the world's demand
for leadership, and steer our peo-

capable of doing the right thing J __

at the proper time. The quali-"flple to safety'

Children's Progress At
Nursery School

Solomon Green, '55
During a recent observation of
the pre-school children at the
S.S.C. nursery school, we became
acquainted with many of the
children's developmental activi-
ties that are responsible for the
instilling of desirable social
behavior. Many activities are
designed to motivate better
learning also.

Miss Zella Owens, the teacher.
gives each child her personal at-
tention, understands each indi-
vidual, and has succeeded in
creating the type of environ-
ment which brings happiness to
everyone. . The program is flex-
ible; therefore, it adapts itself
to each child's needs as well as
age. The children's ages range
from two to five.

Further, we found that the
children are being developed in .
the following ways: socially,
they have learned to work and
play together and many are
striving for group approval ;
mentally, the children are be-
coming more and more alert in
simple problem-solving and in
grasping new ideas; emotionally,
the children are becoming more
friendly toward others and their

pent up emotions are released
through play activities, thus,
aiding them to control their
tempers most of the time; phys-
ically, they are striving most
heartily for better muscle co-
ordintion and better motor
skills, the boys especially.

Savannah State College has a
promising future generation of
prospective football and basket-
ball players. We noticed some
good throwers, good punters,
and good catchers in this group.
The children are striving for
and developing greater accuracy
in their learning and social
skills.

Take It?

What do you do when your
errors are called to your atten-

ALIBI? Do you blame the er-
rors on others, on conditions out
of your control, or faulty orders?

ARGUE? Do you go on the de-
fensive and justify your work?

IGNORE? The best way to get
along Is to pay small attention

The recent statement by Vice

President Nixon "If the situa-
tion demands it, the U. S. might
have to send troops to Indo-
china" has set the entire inter-
national news front aflare. Indo-
china is crucial to the West be-
cause a communist take-over
there, by military or political
means, would increase commu-
nist prestige vastly and put them
at the gateway to all Southeast
Asia. As a result of Vice Presi-
dent Nixon's statement, the
question has arisen is this "an-
other Korea?"

The European Defense Com-
munity Treaty is the keystone
of Western defense planning in
Europe. Last week in a flurry
action, obviously connected with
Secretary Du\les' trip, Britain
and the U. S. fulfilled the de-
mands made by France and the
French moved a step closer to-
ward setting a date for parlia-
mentary debate on the treaty.

of West Germany and integra-

tion." the resolution said, "and
this organization urges its mem-
bers to work assiduously for the

That's Love

Solomon Green '55
What's love? Define, I'll try to

do
It's hard, so true.
But if queerly he looks at you
And those lovely eyes, you look.

too,
Were he to go, you hope to die
That's love, you can't deny.

If in the spring, you sing
The blues that sadness brings,
And to see him you forget your

sadness
And are overshadowed with

gladness,
And in his arms you forget

everything,
That's love, that's love, darling.

The Road To A Career

Solomon Green, '55
From under the cloud the sun

comes shining
To brighten attitudes that have

long been pining
So look up colleagues!

Upon your faults continue

mending,
Upon S.S.C. continue depending.
We are within sight of fewer

hills and windings,

So be not discouraged or
fatigued.

To your friends continue send-
ing
Beautiful words of cheer
Be true, mistakes observing,
Commend others, when deserv-
ing,
And very soon your road is

curving
To success and a desirable
career.

great to be a Greek" and your
fighting to become one has
proved this statement true.

THE BALLS

Now that spring has come in
with a "Zam" and the balls are
getting under way, everyone's
eyes have turned to love, laugh-
ter and tears. And yet we find
ourselves always gay and hap-
py. I konw that our next oc-
casion will be enjoyed in the
Wilcox Gymnasium.

The Veteran's Club broke the
season with the first ball of the
year on April 28, and the Kappas
came back with the ball to which
everyone looks forward. The
Black and White Ball was an
evening of gaiety.

During the evening, the Kap-
pas carried out their usual tra-
dition with dedications to the
Greeks and non-Greeks and
with the singing of the Kappa
songs making an evening in
Black and White one that will
never be forgotten.

Alpha Phi Alpha

"Manly deeds, scholarship,
and love for all mankind" are
the aims of the brothers of Del-
ta Eta chapter of the Alpha Phi
Alpha fraternity.

iTiie chapter has currently
sponsored a concert featuring
Mrs. Willie Mae Patterson and
Mr. Robert C. Long, Sr. This
program was the first of its kind
to be sponsored on the campus
by any Greek letter organization.
Mr. Harold Collier was general
chairman of the program. This
concert is only one of the many
programs the chapter has
planned.

The members of the fraterni-
ty are proud to announce that
many of the brothers made the
honor roll last quarter.

The Spring Ball is predicted
to be one of the most enjoyable
of the season.

Delta Sigma Theta

Delta Nu chapter was surprised
and elated over winning the
Kappa's annual scholarship
award.

Probation week was a memor-
able one at S.S.C. The colors
were bright and the activities
interesting and entertaining.
Delta Nu added to her roster the
following: Alfreda Adams. Jet-
tie Adams. Leona Bolden, Julia
Hendrix, Genevieve Holmes,
Rosa Penn. Gloria Spalding, and
Josie Troutman.

This is the month to which
every freshman "girl" casts a
wishful eye. It is this month that
Delta Nu celebrates May Week
and makes the award to the
freshman "girl" who has at-
tained the highest scholastic
average. An interesting chapel
program is in the making for
the occasion.

Why We Have
Schools

You don't have to go to school
to be educated. Just get an en-
cyclopedia and digest the con-
tents. When you have finished
the job you'll have an educa-
tion of a sort, but you likely
will emerge a most peculiar kind
of person. You will have knowl-

but you won't know how
to apply it.

We once met a man who could
do marvelous things with figures.
For example, he could multiply
six digets by six digets in a frac-
tion of a minute, and do it all
in his head. But he had a vacant
stare and a manager.

Knowledge is power, but you
have to fit it to the drive shaft

Only Good Weather

Sunshine is delicious, rain is
refreshing, wind braces up,
snow is exhilarating; there is
no such thing as bad weather,
only different kinds of good
weather.

What's Ahead for Business

(Radio Panel)

On Saturday, May 1, 1954,
three out-standing faculty mem-
bers of S.S.C. were heard in a
panel discussion on local Radio
Station WSAV, an NBC outlet.
The topic, "What's Ahead for
Prosperity or Reces

was recognized, and the possi-
bility of its furnishing the
groundwork for the recessionary
phase, of the business cycle was
discussed. J

Business
sion?." was discussed expertly by
Dr. R. Grann Lloyd, director of
the monthly radio broadcast,
Dr. Calvin L. Kiah, and Dr. Ver-
non W. Stone.

The pivotal date was recog-
nized as mid-1953, when the Ko-
rean War was abruptly brought
to a halt. Business activity of
the first few months of 1954 was
related to the 1953 base period.
Some indexes which were ob-
served to have declined are em-
ployment, gross national prod-
uct, national income, spendable
income, basic living costs, sales
in general, new orders, industrial
production, money in circula-
tion, government expenditures,
and imports. Selected economic
barometers which showed an
advance are construction, gov-
ernment deficit, business expen-
diture for plant and equipment,
exports, stock market values,
wholesale and retail prices, util-
ity sales and earnings, and per-
sonal income.

The discussion showed the
full-employment characteristic
of prosperity to be in existence,
with substantial improvement in
view. A decreased spending for

times are predicted by the ex-
pert business analysts and econ-

demonstrated optimism and
agreed unequivocally with that
consensus. Dr. Kiah, on the
other hand, registered pessim-
ism, but he voiced a desire to
observe more convincing evi-
dence of prosperity.

Growth and Development

During the past centuries, we
have observed the increasing
number of students passing
through the halls of colleges and
universities. These men and
women have ben cultivated like
the soil of the earth-
Remembering a person as a
freshman is different from the
memory of a graduating senior.

As a freshman, a person may-
be considered as a seed being
planted into the earth that it
may have a chance for growth.
The student then enters the
sophomore and junior years in
order to continue in physical,
social, religious and mental
growth, and he will begin to de-
velop a sound set of values that
will aid in his life's work.

The tempo of change today
is a challenge to every individual
to understand himself and his
world about him. He must de-
velop the power to maintain
harmony between inner and
outer forces. The college student
is developing into a potential
leader as well as a follower in
the world; he has first hand in-
formation relative to responsi-
bilities and problems of living
today. He has a chance of be-
coming a creative citizen pre-
pared to cope intelligently with
new conditions as they arise.
Growth and development in col-
lege are essential foundations for

this creative citizenship that is
necessary to succesful living be-
yond the college years.

The three major areas in
which one should grow and de-
velop for the betterment of him-
self arid humanity are: Sound
Philosophy of Life. Through a
college career one acquires tech-
niques, points of view and in-
formation. But if a college stu-
dent is to develop to his fullest
capacity for the enrichment of
his philisophy, he should attain
something more. He should
strive for a desired way of life
and develop a system of values
that maybe willfully believed in
and accepted by the individual.
A Pleasing Personality. Per-
sonality is not developed merely
by going to college or by taking
lessons in how to gain friends.
A healthy personality is a com-
plex structure, and cannot be
glibly achieved. An effective de-
velopment of personality may be
obtained by the improvement of
the sum total of habits that one
has formed. Finally. Knowledge
and Skill. In order to progress
successfully in life, one must
have ability along with a wide
scope of knowledge that can be
applied to everyday living. Any
goal can be attained if one is
industrious, ambitious, and skill-
ful in utilizing the knowledge
obtained from a college educa-
tion.

School Is Never Out

>A Reporter's Views on
Commmencement
Joseph Brown '58

As the school year comes to
an end, a shadow of melan-
choly is cast over the entire
campus Our beloved seniors who
have striven so hard toward
these final days are planning for
graduation.

Commencement does not just
mean the long processions and
the series of exercises that go
to make up the commencement
activities. Commencement has a
more significant meaning. Let
us carefully analyze the word
and see what it really means.
Commencement comes from the
Latin word commence which
means to begin; therefore, when
one graduates he has just be-
gun.

School is never out. After
commencement then what?
Some will enter the various uni-
versities where they will secure
education that leads to an even
higher degree. Some will take

jobs and will profit from some-
thing that they have never ex-
perienced before. Some will en-
ter the various branches of serv-
ice ; there, too, they will have
new experiences. No matter
what field one may enter, one
will still undergo some form of
learning.

Our education began when we
were put into this world several
years ago. It is like being at
the foot of a ladder, this ladder
is the ladder of life and can
only be climbed step by step.
Many times while one is climb-
ing, he faces numerous obstacles,
but if the determination is great
enough, the obstacles are soon
cast aside.

As one reaches the top of the
ladder, he will be able to seek
out his future. As for our grad-
uates, the stage was set, and
they were the players. They
must have acted well their parts,
for they will have gone another
step on the ladder of life on
June 2nd.

Current News

Thomas R. Evans, '55

Since the fall of Dien Bien
Phu, much discussion has been
centered around the interven-
tion .of the United States into
the Indo-Chinese war. Senator
Knowland. house majority lead-
er, is in favor of the United
States' giving the French air and
sea aid in fighting the com-
munists.
McCarthy ism

The McCarthy committee
hearings are of no benefit to the
American people. The commit-
tee hearings have been success-
ful only in lowering the Ameri-
can prestige abroad.

The question that has arisen in
my mind is whether the legisla-
tive body is going beyond its
limitations or not.
Supreme Court Makes History

The recent ruling of the Su-
preme Court outlawing segrega-
tion in public schools has pro-
voked much discussion. The
south in particular, has taken
the ruling cautiously and calmly
except for Georgia's governor,
Herman Talmadge, who stated
that the ruling by the head
court has reduced the Constitu-
tion to a mere 'scrap of paper'
World Record Set

The recent world mile record
set by Roger Bannister (time
3:59.41, English medical student.
has broken the legendary 4:00
mile. Even after setting a world
record, Bannister said that his
greatest ambition is to beat
America's Wes Santee.
Criticism

I would like to criticize the
administration and the kind of
support that has been given to
Secretary Stevens in the commit-
tee hearings. With the under-
standing that the secretary of
army is under the Department of
Defense, a cabinet office, it
seems altogether fitting that the
executive branch would defend
the person concerned since these
offices are under its jurisdiction.
Much to my regret, I would like
to say that the executive branch
has not been outspoken enough.

Readers' Favorites
Old and New

You are now one of the ap-
proximately 300,000 college stu-
dents who received their first
degree this year. Your degree
granted you so recently records
the arduous hours, the credits,
and the months in residence.
The world has yet to measure
your education as your Alma
Mater has your schooling. What
will count in what you have
learned is what you can do with
your knowledge. America needs
the best minds in positions of
leadership today and your
community will look toward you
for this guidance. Be prepared
and worthy of this confidence.

No better means of continued
growth can be found than read-
ing reading that has a purpose
or rather a succession of pur-
poses. Many of you who have
been guided in what to read and
when to read, have solemnly de-
clared that 'come commence-
ment' you won't look at another
book for eons and eons. Happily
for you and for your fellowman,
it won't be too long before you
will miss the companionship of
books for they do help supply
fuel for the universal human
urge to understand. So from time
to time, when you return to
your books, check the scope of
your reading, for there must be
a certain rounding out of litera-
ture as a whole if breadth of
background is to be developed.
Try a book that you happen to
see on the shelves of your li-
brary or bookstore, or a title
that someone recommends.

ers in the civic, educational, re-

She believes that one should live
in the present and not wait for
tomorrow. . . . "Live each day
full and tomorrow and yesterday
will automatically fall in line."

Miss Jackson won the titles of
"Miss Mathematics" 1951, Miss
Delta 1953, and the Campus
Community Club award of 1953.

"Lil" said that Savannah State

had developed her personality
through opportunities offered its
students in "public relations."
She feels academic pursuits only
touch part of the person, but
conferences and "public rela-

NIGHT AND DAY
Solomon Green '55
The sun drifts across the

westerly hills and bays,
Darkening the earth with

beautiful arrays.
Then the shadows come to

brighten stars' lights,
And God chose to call this

night.

Then, the sun comes near,
The dear stars it scares
And makes sleepy shadows

disappear.
As the sun becomes bright
Animals begin their plight,
And love is so wonderful

and gay,
God chose to call this day.

Don't give up hope and

Just take it as your part.
Never to hardships surrender
If each day seems to darken
Your life with clouds of

Keep trying with sincerity,
Stand up to your conviction.
Your efforts, hardships and

Are something like a friend.
You'll never know what you

Until you have tried again.

A Senior's Message

There is inexpressible joy in
being a senior; so many hopes
and ideals are collected in one's
mind When I think of the
status of a Senior ,it reminds
me of one who looks back and
then forward. A senior casts a

backward look at his achieve-
ments and his failures. In his
achievements, he finds satisfac-
tion; while in his failures, he
sees the possibility for improve-
ment. Looking forward, he is
held tightly by the clutches of

The Variety show on April 23.
with our advisor, Mr. John H.

ceremonies was enjoyed by a
near capacity crowd in Meldrim

interest of talent throughout the
campus as well as the city of Sa-

given to groups or individuals
who were deserving in the opin-

worthy and not in vain. Every-

Although the club was forced
to give its ball in the middle of
the week, no shortcomings were
felt. The ball was a gay affair
with music by Jimmy Dillworth
and his Blazers. The President of
the club presented "Miss Vet-
eran", Miss Francine Ivery. with
a beautiful bouquet at intermis-

dress with cardinal trimmings
and matching corsage and was
escorted in a way to show just
how much the club appreciated
her.

of the "Y"

Cleveland Lawrence '57

The Savannah State College
Y. M. C. A. has grown exceed-
ingly since the beginning of the
school year 1953-54. Some sixty
members joined this organiza-
tion during that time. The
Y. M. C. A, was the sponsor of
the Religious Emphasis Week
program and participated in the
Brotherhood Week program.

This year a basketball team
was organized and was very suc-
cessful. Having defeated all the
campus intramural teams, the
"Y" team played the Faculty
Ail-Star team. The faculty was
defeated; therefore, the "Y"
team is the campus champs for
1953-54.

In the tentative program, the
members of the "Y" plan to as-
sist during freshman orientation
week.

On Awards Day the "Y" will
be giving awards to four out-
standing members in the Y. M.

We are hoping that our "Y"
will be one of the best organi-

year.

In this age of great transition
there is dire need for incessant

Many of us who will bid S.S.C

to lead in some walk of life.
Those among us who have this
in mind must forever strive to
plan greater adventures for
those who will depend on us
for guidance and inspiration.

Everyone can not lead, be-
cause there must be some follow-
ers. Those of us who are des-
tined to follow have a great job
to do as well as the leaders,
that is if we would do our share
in making the world a better

a position in which we can show

President W. K. Payne receives the Columbia University
ntennial Award being presented by Attorney Leon L. Polstein.
lumbia University representative. Attorney Polstein said, "Co-
unbia University awards this certificate of participation and ap-
, reciation to Savannah State College."

SSC Receives Columbia
J. Bicentennial Award /

The Columbia University Bicentennial Award was presente^to
s College by Attorney Leon L. Polstein. Columbia University
I presentative, and was received by Dr. William K. Payne, in as-
: fjite^y, Wednesday. July 20.

Mr. Polstein stated that his purpose was to express to the

College family his sincere thanks and appreciation for their out-

inding and wholehearted co-

ieration and participation
|l ie Bicentennial program.

He stated that this yea;
: arked the celebration of Co-
i mbia University's Bicentennial.
! he theme of the celebration,
Si lected by President Eisenhower
when he was serving as presi-
cient of the University, was

1 Man's Right to Knowledge and
to the Free Use Thereof.'' To
help carry out this theme, Co-
lombia invited educational insti-
tutions, civic groups, fraternal
rrders, business, and professional
croups throughout the nation to
join in the observance.

i Savannah State, according to
Mr. Polstein, was one of the edu-
cational institutions that went
ull out for helping Columbia to
bring this stimulating and
thought-provoking theme to
many people within the sphere
of its influence.

The speaker said that it was
his understanding that the cer-
tificate of participation and ap-
preciation being awarded was
the very first one to be presented
to an educational institution in
this region, comprising Georgia,
Florida, and Alabama.

The Bicentennial program, as
mapped out by the Columbia
University Scholastic Press Asso-
ciation and the Bicentennial
Committee, included six methods
of participation. The five-star
certificate awarded Savannah
State indicated that the College
had participated in five of the
six areas. Participation included
the following: ill a special edi-
tion of the SSC Bulletin, (2)
feature stories in local and na-

tional Negro newspapers. (3)
forums held in connection with
statewide press institutions, (4)
editorials in the student news-
paper, The Tiger's Roar, and (5)
radio programs over stations
WJIV and WDAR.

Mr. Polstein gave special trib-
ute to Wiiton C. Scott, College
public relations director, and
consultant to the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association. Mr
Scott, according to the represen-
tative, was largely responsible
for SSC's earning the award. Mr.
Polstein acknowledged the work
of Miss Juanita Sellers, Advisor
to The Tiger's Roar. He also
thanked the faculty and the stu-
dents who participated In the
program.

Further remarks by Mr, Pol-
stein reiterated that the striking
significance of the Bicentennial
I heme, selected at a time in the
affairs of the world when there
are those among us, both home
and abroad, who would deny or
limit man's God-given right to
seek knowledge and to use that
knowledge to make this a better
world in which to live, is chal-
lenging, the speaker said. He
further stated that this theme
was purposely chosen as a start-
ing point for free men of good
will to join in reasserting their
belief in freedom of thought and
knowledge, and in re-expressing
the fundamental principles on
which the nation was founded.

After receiving the award from
Mr. Polstein, Dr. Payne, in turn,
presented It to Mr. Scott, com-
mending him for the work he
has done.

Rev. Mzimba Speaks
On African Tour

By Paul L. Howard

Rev. Livingstone N. Mzimba,
B.A., S.T.B., was one of the guest
speakers here on June 22. Dur-
ing the absence of Dr. W. K.

Payne, Rev. Mzimba was intro-
duced by Professor T. C. Meyers,
dean of faculty

The 69-year-old past modera-
tor of the Presbyterian Church
of Africa spoke from the subject
"What Africans Expect of Their
American Colored Brothers". He
said that the church has over
500.000 members but with the
help of the educated American
ministers, the number could be
doubled in a very short time.
The church is located in Alice.
South Africa, and has a member-
ship of between 800 and 1,000
adherents", but it could be bet-
ter, he stated.

Putting religious institutions
along with educational institu-
tions, the Loncoln graduate said,
"we have only 63 ministers and
50 training schools. Each church
is required to build a school."

He concluded by saying, "May
God bless you and keep you in
a feeling of brother's love in this
world community."

Dr. Mzimba is visiting Lincoln
University, Pennsylvania, the
school from which he graduated
in 1906. Since that time he has
been engaged in the Pastorate
of the Presbyterian Church of
Africa.

He came to Lincoln in 1901,
after the first group of South
Africans who entered in 1896 had
done well. At Lincoln, Reverend
Mzimba was a member of the
Choir. He also sang in quartettes
and glee clubs, also solos. He
won a Bible prize in his senior
seminary year, and was one of
the three speakers in his class
during their graduation year.
Dr. Mzimba is still remembered
as one of the institution's most
famous football players.

While on SSC Campus, he
played host to most of the
classes. According to the Afri-
can head, the Elementary Work-
shop stimulated his interest more
than any other class.

Science Class
Makes Tour

Members of the class in
Science for Elementary Teachers
made a tour of the Oatland
Island Center, June 22.

The forty-member class was
divided into two groups, each
with a guide for the tour of the
Center. According to Informa-
tion given in the preliminary
remarks concerning the project,
the Technical Communicable Di-
sease Center deals with diseases
transmitted by animals. The
Center Is divided into four main
sections: Biological Section,
Equipment Development, Toxic-
ology Section, and Chemistry
Section.

Special observance of experi-
ments being conducted high-
lighted the tour. One such ex-
periment involved the feeding
of D.D.T. to monkeys. Results
of the experiment revealed that
it is possible for monkeys to be-
come immune to DDT.

C. V. Clay, instructor of the
class, arranged the tour.

Bowens Gives Types,
Uses, Future of AV Aids

By Paul L. Howard

William H, Bowens, director of the Audio-Visual Aids Center,
stated in an interview today that visual aids in teaching are often
combined with auditory or sound aids, as in the use of the talking
picture. Such combinations are called audio-visual aids.

Mr. Bowens stated that this complex communication task has
been going on for thousands of years. The cave men made use
of drawings on the sides of caves and on the bark of trees to in-
form their fellowmen. People used picture language before the
alphabet was devised.

ably with any other center In
the coun'try, stated Mr. Bowens.
He attended a meeting several
months ago in Virginia, where
leaders in the AV field agreed
that the SSC Center was among
the foremost Mr. Bowens said
that the facilities are good and
the Center is-expanding rapidly
The only problem existing at the
present is the lack of personnel
co perform the many duties in-
volved in the work of the Center.
According to Mr. Bowens, one
of the most helpful aids to this
type of instruction is the Ren-
shaw System of Recognition,
established by Samuel Renshaw
of Ohio State University.

Educators believe that visual
education in the near future will
have more to offer. Mr. Bowens
declared. "Anyone who takes a
course in AV aids becomes a
better teacher and is able to
plan work in advance. Through
this, their program will be more
interesting, attractive, and ef-
fective."

On a national level, most vis-
ual aids in education are divided
into four classifications. The
natural type of aid Includes
chemicals, plants, animals, spec-
imens from large subjects, and
mechanical instruments. The
pictorial type includes movies,
photographs, drawings, and
stereotypes. Schematic represen-
tation uses maps and miniature
models. The symbol, the fourth
type, utilizes charts, graphs, and
diagrams.

Mr. Bowens stated that his
program is divided into four
units: 1 1 1 operations of ma-
chines, (2 production of AV
classroom usages, (3) philosophy
and research in audio-visual aids,
and (4) evaluation, utilization,
and administration of audio-
visual materials.

The Director stated that the
process of securing a film re-
quired the filing of at least ten
papers that are already awaiting
filing before a picture is shown
and placed back into the mail
to its owner.

Elementary Workshop Plans
Unit on U. S. Money

The Elementary Workshop oi
the first Summer Session at Sa-
vannah State College had as its
theme, "Making Adequate Pro-
visions Essential to Effective
Learning Through Effective
Teaching."

The Workshop centered its unit
planning on the "Money We
Use". Much research work was
clone in order to secure Informa-
tion on American coins and cur-
rency.

There were forty-eight teach-
ers enrolled in the workshop.
They were divided into groups
according to their interests. The
Social Studies and Upper Read-
ing groups were supervised by
Mrs. Donella G. Seabrook. The
Arithmetic, Science, and Fine
Arts groups were supervised by
Miss Thelma Brown.

Wednesday, July 7, the Ele-
mentary Workshop presented a
program entitled. "Money We
Use".

The group was concerned with
the use of money in the school
lunchroom, the school band and
the Red Cross, The group was
presented with a representation
of coins and bills and a money
exhibit.

The program was narrated by
Mrs. Georgia Floyd Johnson,
chairman of the workshop and
program committee.

Another feature of the group
was the open house program
which was presented July 12,
in Powell Laboratory school.

Serving as faculty consultants
were: Miss Juanita Sellers, Lan-
guage Arts; Miss Sylvia Bowen,
Arithmetic; and Elmer J. Dean,

The Road to Success

Success is the attainment of
a proposed objective. In order
to be successful one must have
In mind a specific goal.

Some people are satisfied at
just getting by; others make
careless choices. But be mind-
ful of these and other errors,
and don't jeopardize your op-
portunity for success by careless
choices on your part. Don't be
like the flowers that grow in the
woods, live, and let their sweet
fragrance mingle with the in-
visible atmosphere and die with-
out being discovered. Make your
abilities known, seize every op-
portunity that presents itself and
prepare in every area possible.
One can not specialize in just
one thing, wait for an oppor-
tunity in that special field, and
be successful. It is good to spec-
ialize, but don't be a slave to
specialization. You will have to
crawl before you can walk un-
less you are helped to your feet
by someone else.

The road to success is not
known by anyone, but sign posts
have been placed along the ways
of life to guide you. These posts
are your parents, ministers,
teachers, social organizations,
etc. In conclusion my advice is.
let them guide you, but don't
be a slave to guidance; press
forward and success will be
yours.

Home Study Effective

Don't stop because you cannot
pay your way in school and work
to support a family. Learn some-
thing about the new develop-
ments in correspondence educa-
tion. During the past 60 years,
correspondence education or
home study has become one of
the most important approaches
to adult education. Today, more
people enroll in home-study
courses each year than enter
the freshman classes of all our
colleges and universities. Most
of these are adults seeking to
satisfy their hunger for educa-
tion in the most direct way pos-
sible through individual study-
As the adult education move-
ment grows, home study will
grow with it. The more educa-
tion a person has, the more he
wants; and home study provides
certain unique advantages. As
one of the most flexible and
least expensive of adult educa-
tion approaches, home study can
be started at any time, pursued
on any schedule, move with a
mobile population, and perform
its function in peace or war.

Home study is adapting to
principles of lifelong learning.
It is already possible, after fin-
ishing courses from some schools,
to receive a steady flow of in-
formational materials carefully
prepared by experts to help one
keep on the growing edge of his
occupation.

Summer Reading Choices

The Little Things

From the President's Desk

Attending summer school has in the past been considered an
additional or extra mile. Everyone enrolled in summer school was
supposed to be there because he wanted to meet certain require-
ments which were a part of his definite program of advancement.
In practically no case did one attend summer school for the pur-
pose of being in style and keeping up with his associates. It seemed
that all were seeking education which could contribute to their
living or their proposed programs. Some educators often remarked
that those attending summer school were seeking education in the
true meaning of the term.

^^fiTiS interesting to note that in every age or era, education has
been singled out as basic and significant to living. This has been
true of both formal and informal systems of education. From time
to time the critics have attacked the educational system in terms
of its real values and contributions to problems of life While the
criticisms have not always been entirely valid, they served the
important function of directing and initiating studies of evalua-
tion that lead to modification. This seems to be an inevitable
procedure in a changing society. Wherever change is rapid, there
must be reorganization and redirection of the educational programs
and processes.

The willingness of students and teachers to reorganize their
thinking and their procedures by attending summer school is of
great significance. In such a system there is provision for the
youth who are becoming influential and the adults who have gained
stability. Summer schools have been one of the foremost agencies
in promoting critical thinking about the schools of today. The
students and teachers who have studied here at Savannah State
College during the 1954 summer session have had rich opportunities
to gain insight Into our educational processes as they are related
to our society. The views and opinions gained will continue to
operate and provide the stimuli needed to modify individual educa-
tional programs and participation in the development of a better
program of education.

When educational programs promote thinking and evaluation,
they are providing sound education for any type of society. Those
who endure the heat and put forth special effort to study set the
scene for thinking. In such a situation one often wonders about
the value of the studies he is pursuing. Frequently he asks him-
self if the effort is worth what he is achieving. Attempting to
answer such questions for one's self takes the individual into the
realm of reasoning. This type of mental activity taking place in
many phases of the individual's living strengthens the power to
attack and solve problems.

Man of the Hour

Wilton C. Scott, director of
Public Relations, is considered
the "Man of the Hour" here at
Savannah State College.

Through his strong belief in
public relations, during the past
several years hundreds of stu-
dents have gone Into or taken
some direct interest in the ever-
growing field of Journalism.

While away attending gradu-
ate school at New York Univer-
sity. Mr. Scott left Mrs. Gwen-
dolyn L. Bass, full-time secre-
tary, Mr. Paul L. Howard, Sr.,
graduate and former editor of
The Tiger's Roar and now editor
of the Summer Edition of The
Tiger's Roar, and Mr. John Paul
Jones, an up-coming free lance
writer, in charge of the Public
Relations Office. Through the

full cooperation of th workers,
the Public Relations Office has
been keeping the public well-
informed during both sessions.

Mr. Scott Is aware of the fact
that no college can advance, in
the eyes of the public, without
a good working Public Relations
Department.

By Miss Madeline Harrison

Books can help you enjoy a
better vacation. There are so
many idle hours when a good
book will add to your vacation
pleasure. Very often you have
time after meals, between swims,
at bedtime. So be sure to have
several good books handy wheth-
er you go away on a vacation or
stay in your own backyard.

For the sixth summer The
Saturday Review asked book edi-
tors of the leading newspapers
of the nation to name the new
books which they believe merit
reading. According to this poll
of 26 critics the two novels most
likely to please are The Doll-
maker by Harriette Arnow and
Sweet Thursday by John Stein-
beck. Gertie Nevels. who is the
"dollmaker" of this novel, is a
woman of the Kentucky hills.
She is sensitive, courageous and
understanding, but she has had
very little formal education. She
is especially talented in carving
figures from wood. When Gertie
leaves her Kentucky surround-
ings to join her husband in De-
troit, she finds that city life is
often bitter and cruel. The book
is not an easy one to read as
much of the conversation is in
dialect, but the story is a very
sincere and moving one.

Those of you who are avid
fiction readers are probably al-
ready familiar with John Stein-
beck's Grapes of Wrath. Tortilla
Flat and Cannery Row. In his
new work, Sweet Thursday. Mr
Steinbeck returns to the scene
of Cannery Row. Here are the
same local institutions the Bear
Flag Restaurant, Lee Chong's
grocery store, the Western Bio-
logical Laboratories. And some
of the people are the same. But
the new ingredient is Suzy.
fresh off a Greyhound Bus.
equipped with a battered suit-
case, a lipstick, a good figure
and eighty-five cents. Against
this background Steinbeck spins
a yarn that has some satire and
philosophy

If you like the historical novel,
Daphne Du Maurier and Taylor
Campbell have new offerings
which may interest you. Du Mau-
rier's Mary Anne is a biograph-
ical novel about the author's
great - great - grandmother, a
woman whose life was not
bound by scruples. Mary Anne
deserted a worthless husband at
25, and later became the mis-
tress of the Duke of York. Tak-
ing advantage of the Duke's po-
sition as commander-in-chief of
the army, Mary Anne did a lu-
crative business selling commis-
sions in the army. What hap-
pened to her when the scandal
broke makes a fascinating story.
In Never Victorious, Never De-
feated, Mrs. Caldwell is again
concerned with robber barons
and empire building. The story
is of the DeWitt family who
owned the Pennsylvania Inter-
state Railroad. The time of the
action covers the 100 years from
the administration of Andrew
Jackson to 1935 Both drama and
suspense are found here.

If your mood is a gay one and
you want something light, try
Edward Streeter's Mr. Hobbs'
Vacation. If you enjoyed Fa-
ther of the Bride, then you will
not want to miss this one. Mr.
Hobbs, a reasonable, successful
businessman, has been looking
forward to his vacation with
eagerness. And so has Mrs.
Hobbs. She selected, sight un-
seen, a large, old house by the
sea. Why? So that their mar-
ried daughters, their peculiar
husbands and the three grand-
children may vacation there also.
The result is general chaos and
a hilarious and heartwarming
story.

For a high-spirited account of
travels In Europe, written in an
amusing manner, don't overlook
Emily Klmbrough's Forty Plus

and Fancy Free. Miss Kimbrough
and three other youthful grand-
mothers decided to take a holi-
day In Europe. Their original
plans were sound enough a visit
to the traditional places, meals
at the usual restaurants, and
even time out for study. But
what actually happens is most
unexpected and very humorous.
The account is filled with laugh-
ter, anecdote and entertaining
information.

If the heat gets you down, and
it's just one of those days, try
these for a spiritual boost: The
Mind Alive by Harry and Bonaro
Overstreet is guaranteed to im-
prove your emotional well-being.
The authors use numerous illus-
trations to prove that it is nec-
essary that one realize his own
limitations and work to improve
himself in spite of them. In his
Way to Happiness, Fulton J.
Shean has a series of inspiring
articles which he hopes will
bring his reader solace, hope,
truth, goodness and strength. He
believes that every man wants
three things for himself life, for
always with no aging or disease
to threaten it; truth, with no
forced choices to be made, and
love, not mixed with hatred and
with no time limit. Daniel Pol-
ing's Faith is Power for You tells
of the author's personal experi-
ences with prayer and how
prayer has concretely helped
men and women in their hour
of need.

So whether you travel by land
or by air, if you are at the sea-
shore, in the mountains, or in
the hammock in your own back-
yard, be sure you have a few
good books nearby. You have
no idea how well they can fill
in the time when you are lost
for something to do.

Pride not yourself for lofty

heights
But for how many friends you've

made.
Strive not to see your name in

lights
But on the bill marked "Paid"

It's the little things in life you'll

find
That make you great or small.
It's those things that bring peace

of mind
That lift you and prevent your

fall.

Today you may stand out in the

crowd,
Socially prominent, boasting of

wealth.
Tomorrow you'll hear them

shouting, proud
To say. "Ole Joe has lost his

health."

So think much of your fellow-
man,

Of dogs that bark and the bird
that sings.

Think of each creature as doing
the best he can

And above all, remember the
little things.

Business Courses
Offered - Summer

by
William S. Jackson

The Business Department is
very active in spite of the new
low enrollment throughout the
nation. This is the second time
since 1948 that business courses
were offered. The courses of-
fered in the first session are:
Business Writing, Elementary
Shorthand, and Typing. The
same courses were offered both
sessions, with Business Writing
replacing Business Law.

There are 18 students enrolled
in Business Writing, and 25 in
Typing and Shorthand. Other
courses are offered on demand.
In Business Laboratory Practice
are: M. Herman Terry, Johnnie
P. Jones, and Florence Bisord
and in Secretarial Science Prac-
tice is Roberta Glover.

Robert C. Long, Assistant
Professor of Business Adminis-
tration, spoke on "The Place of
Business Administration in Sec-
ondary Schools", for the Secon-
dary Workshop during the first
summer session. Mr. Long is a
Notary Public and Publicity Rep-
resentative of the National Edu-
cation Society of which the New
Standard Publishing Company is
the sponsor. He is offering a
unique plan for educators and
professional men and women.

Some of Savannah State Col-
lege students took a trip to
Hunter Air Force Base on July
8, 1954. The trip was one of the
many activities sponsored by the
Summer Activities Committee.

The group upon its arrival at
the base was guided by Lieu-
tenant Tibby. Colonel Watkins
gave a short lecture on Strategic
Air Command to the Savannah
State students in an air-condi-
tioned theater.

It was interesting to note the
combat air force that America
has. The original base started
in Omaha. Nebraska and spread
throughout the United States.

The cost of a B-47 jet bomber
is 45 million dollars. The great-
est problem that the S.A.C. has
is enlistments. Another inter-
esting story came from Lieuten-
ant Derrier. He said that it is
his duty to see that everyone has
been thoroughly examined before
receiving admittance to the base.

Sgt. J. Edward Kohl is director
of the survival school of the

Currie

Strategic Air Command. This
one is that branch of the Air
Force that teaches men how to
survive in any kind of weather
and hardships.

The nerve center of the Air
Force, it is said, is the weather
bureau. It was interesting to
note that Montgomery. Alabama
is the controlling center for the
South, while Jacksonville. Flor-
ida is the controlling center of
traffic highways of the air. From
those two points, pilots are bet-
ter able to fly certain routes
without having accidents.

Other points of interest shown
to the visiting group were the
Post Exchange, swimming pool,
barracks, and the Officers Club.
Pictures were taken of the group
at the survival school.

The trip to Hunter Air Force
Base was made possible by the
Student Activities Committee
and Wilton C. Scott, director of
Public Relations at Savannah
State College.

Trades and Industries in Review

By Levy N.

The industrial program at Sa-
vannah State College continues
to be one of the outstanding
fields of study on the campus.
Students seeking pre-occupa-
tlonal training make a wise
choice in selecting one or more
of the various fields of study of-
fered under the Industrial Edu-
cation Program.

Automotive Repair, Body and
Fender, under the instruction of
Mr. Leroy Brown, is being offered
during the summer as well as
during the regular school term.
A large number of veterans find
interest in this field and have
found that the training they re-
ceive prepares them successfully
for a suitable occupation after
leaving school.

Shoe Repairing is taught joint-
ly with Leathercraft, a course
more recently added to the In-
dustrial Education Program, but
which is rapidly gaining interest
among students from all of the
departments. Students enrolled
in this course are taught to op-
erate machines necessary in shoe
repairing, the principles of de-
signing leather, and are given a
general knowledge of the con-
struction of different kinds of
shoes and of all types of leather
work. Handbags, billfolds, and
wallets, made by men and wom-
en, can be seen from time to
time exhibited in the Adminis-
tration Building.

An extensive program in Ra-
dio Repair is also offered at Sa-
vannah State College. The fun-
damental principles of radio are
taught in this course, plus the
technical and practical opera-
tions necessary in making radio
repairs.

Electrical maintenance, car-
pentry, general woodwork, cab-
inet-making, and masonry are
several other courses offered un-

Program leading to a Bachelor
of Science degree.

Among the many fine things
that have come to Savannah
State College in recent years to
aid the college in rendering a
greater service to the State of
Georgia in its educational pro-
gram is The James F. Lincoln
Arc Welding Foundation Library.
This library is in the Division's
Trades and Industries of the
Special Library. The books and
information have proved a val-
uable asset to student, staff
members, and other technical
workers at the college as well
as in the community.

The library contains some of
the following books: Wettability
of Metals, by Lincoln Electric
Company, Cleveland 17, Ohio;
Pocket IVIanu.il of Arc Welding,
by Lew Gilbert, Editor of Indus-
try and Welding Magazine; Farm
Mechanics Power Tool Manual,
by Floyd Mix and J. C. Moore;
Pamphlet: How To Teach Arc
Welding in Farm Mechanics, by
A. H. Hollenberg; Correct Tech-
nique Necessary for Stainless
Welding, by L. K. Stingham; The
United Album of Recent Weld-
ments, by The United Welding
Company, Middleton, Ohio.

A host of other books and
pamphlets on welding and de-
velopment are in the library. It
is open to all students, teachers,
and patrons of Savannah State
College to use. Those desiring
the services of any of this mate-
rial can secure same through the
office of the Division of Trades
and Industries.

The Division through the col-
lege expresses its appreciation
to The James F. Lincoln Arc
Welding Foundation for estab-
lishing such a library at Savan-
nah State College.

How to Make A
Gardenia Corsage

By George Johnson

So you are planning to take
your sweetheart to the formal.
Instead of buying a corsage fol-
low these simple rules and save
money.

To make a gardenia corsage, it
Is necessary to purchase the
following items: 2 gardenias, 1
roll of floral tape, 5 pieces of
thin wire (12 inches long! and
4 yards of ribbon.

First wire the gardenias by
placing a wire through the bulb
of each flower, the end to which
the petals are attached. Wrap
this wire tightly around the stem
of the flower.

Take three pieces of fern and
arrange them in a fan shape and
wire them together by wrapping
a piece of wire to the ends of
the stems, leaving enough for
later use.

Now with the remainder of the
wire at the end of the fern, at-
tach one gardenia. Pull the wire
tight enough to hold the flower
in position. Be sure that the
flower stem is longer than the
fern.

Make another fan of fern as
in paragraph 4 and attach it to
the end of the flower stem. Lay
the other gardenia on this and
fasten as in paragraph 5 with
the flower facing the opposite
direction.

Cover all visible wiring and
rough spots with the floral tape.

Make a bow of 12 loops, 6 on
each side, wire it. The color
should match the lady's dress or
accessories. Place this in the
space between the blooms. Make
this secure by wiring.

One of the biggest problems
facing Korean veterans through-
out the nation today is the fast
approaching cut-off deadline for
those veterans who were dis-
charged prior to August 20, 1952.
The law. as is currently in ef-
fect, specifically states that vet-
erans must initiate a course of
training within two years after
separation from active military
duty. This means, of course,
that veterans who do not apply
for educational benefits and are
actually enrolled and pursuing a
course of education and training
will forfeit all educational bene-
fits to which they may be en-
titled. Of interest to all Korean
veterans is a bill now pending
before Congress, HR 9395. which
would extend for two years the
period in which Korean veterans
can apply for GI Bill training
benefits. If passed, and there is
not even a shadow of a doubt
that it will not, this measure
would give Korean veterans the
same period of time starting and
finishing training as awarded
World War II veterans four
years from date of discharge to
begin training and nine years
for completion If this bill is
passed before August 20, 1954,
the earliest cut-off deadline will
be moved up from August 20,
1954 to August 20, 1956.

Korean veterans who were
separated from the armed forces

R. Freeman
before July 16. 1952, and who
have not received mustering-
out payments have only until
July 16, 1954, to apply. Muster-
ing-out pay applications are
available at the nearest military
or naval installation.

Somewhere down the line it
seems that Korean veterans are
not getting accurate Information
regarding their financial obliga-
tions to training institutions
When an institution is approved
by the StatP Approving Agency
and the Veterans Administra-
tion, this means that Korean
veterans are entitled to receive
educational benefits from these
institutions. The Veterans Ad-
ministration, however, does not
make any kind of contract with
these institutions for the pay-
ment of tuition and other fee-,
for Korean veterans unless tht
veteran is disabled and is enter
ing school under the provision
of Public Law 894. All othe.
Korean veterans have to pay
their own tuition and other feet
due and payable at the time o
registration. The Veterans Ad-
ministration will reimburse th
veteran in the form of monthl
subsistence. We find this to b
a very important item as 95 f
of the veterans who report fo
registration expect to have thel
fees and tuition paid by th
Veterans Administration.

Profile of Chopin

By Julius E. Reeves, Jr.

Chopin, the poet-genius of the
piano, has sung through that
instrument the tragedy of Eng-
land, his mother's land, and on
it he played with the beauty
and sweetness of France, his
father's land.

Of all who wrote for the piano,
Chopin represents in his music
the spirit of the keyboard. His
music could not have been ex-
pressed in any other medium.

In fact his music is so en-
chanting that it has become the
source of many popular songs.

The movies have found Cho-
pin's music most ideal for creat-
ing moods of romance and vivid
pictures.

Born in Warsaw in 1810. Cho-
pin lived half of his life in Paris,
but his sympathy toward his be-
loved Poland moved this gentle
soul to proud defiance, expressed
superbly in the epic and dra-
matic poetry of his art.

Chopin enjoyed good company
and in return he was universally

loved. The music he made wa
suitable for the drawing room
and salons of the rich and grea
of his time.

When he was twenty-one, Cho
pin met the great French novel
ist. George Sand, who was si.
years older. In contrast to th
delicate and ailing pianist, Sam
was a dynamo who became th-
most prolific and controversial
woman author of her time. Bu
such is the mysterious magne-
tism of art that the two fell
deeply in love.

Remember Chopin, master pi
anist and composer, wheneve
you hear someone play one o
his songs or when you yourset!
perhaps, sing "I'm Always Chas-
ing Rainbows."

These tutors are happy to help
students with their subject-
iiiatter problems. The chapter
is advised by Dr. E. K. Williams,
oordinator of General Educa-
tion.

Several years ago a tutorial
ystem was established at Hamp-
ton Institute, Hampton, Virginia.
The key to the success of the
tutorial program at Hampton is
recorded in a booklet entitled:
\ Guide for Tutors. In this book-
let Dean Thomas E. Hawkins
wrote: To do a thorough tutor-
ing job, you must develop tech-
nique which will make it possi-
ble for you to help the student
when he presents his study prob-
lem to you.

The following techniques are
suggested:

1. Gain a thorough knowledge
of the subject you are tutoring.

2. Help the student to de-
velop the right attitude toward
his studies.

3. Talk with teachers of the
students whom you tutor to as-
certain the students major study
difficulties.

4. Stimulate students to gain
confidence In their ability to
eliminate the feeling of inferior-
ity.

5. Organize brief study ses-
sions for the students in your
group who have similar study
difficulties.

6. Ask provocative questions
of the student being tutored to
encourage him to discuss his
problem freely.

7. Make suggestions about
student habits which you have
found to be effective.

8. Teach the student the
principles involved in finding
solutions to problems, but do not
work out assignments for him.

9. Help the student to diag-
nose the errors he makes in ex-
aminations.

The Big Job

There is now, has been in the
past, and will continue to be
in the future, a job which needs
to be done. This job becomes
bigger and bigger as time passes.
Because it takes the coopera-
tion of the entire student body
to get this job done, it has re-
maind untouched. But now is
the tim for us to wake up and
realize that we, the students of
Savannah State College, are
cutting off our noses to spite our
faces when we fail to tackle the
"big job."

The big job facing us is
"School Spirit." What has hap-
pened to us, our love, our loyal-
ty, and respect for our school,
our Alma Mater? The manner
in which we walk around the
campus day and night, week in
and week out with our heads
held high, thinking only of self-
advancement, does not make us
typical college students of this
age. Instead, it proves that
somewhere along the way we
have got the wrong idea or the
wrong impression of the role of
educated people. It proves fur-
ther that we are not able to
value the worth of our status
our accomplishments and
achievements.

Fellow students, if we want
the best, then we must put our

best foot forward. We must help
those who are trying to do some-
thing to promote our interests.
We should give our representa-
tives our best support, show
that we are willing to do our
parts by cooperating whole-
heartedly. Don't leave it up to
a few to do everything there is
to be done. YOU ARE IMPOR-
TANT. YOU COUNT. AND YOU
ARE THE ONE!

Stop and think. Just what
prdicament would our school be
in if those who are taking an
active part in our school activi-
ties would take the attitude we
have taken? That is, the don't
car attitude. What would our
college be like? What would we
be like? We would be the first
to babble out "we need a school."
Yet, "we" are the ones who have
failed to show interest and have
failed to do our part.

First of all, let us try to see
the whole not just the part. Let
us see oursleves as we see oth-
ers. Let us say as one writer has
said. "I am only one, but I am
one. I cannot do everything, but
I can do something. What I can
do, I ought to do; and what I
ought to do, by the grace of
God I will do."

Will YOU do YOUR PART?
We need School Spirit."

Why Are You Here?

By Doris Sanders

Has the thought ever occurred
to you, just why are you here?
Has it ever dawned upon you
that you are here at somebody
else's expense? Have you ever
stopped to wonder why daddy
failed to buy that new overcoat
this year or why mother is still
wearing those same wornout
shoes? Someone has sacrificed
something for you. Someone is
responsible for your being here.

Why are you here? Because
someone knows the value of
higher education. You are here
to learn, mentally and morall.
You are here to learn all you
can about everything you can,
You are here, not to be satisfied
in just passing or getting by, but
to excel and extend yourself.
You are here because in an age

like this, education is indispen-
sable. You must have educa-
tion in order to cope with prob-
lems now, and in later life.

You must qualify yourself to
do a good job. For a teacher
who is well-informed, alert, and
well-prepared, is never afraid to
face his class. And only those
individuals who are well-in-
formed will secure the jobs.
What you should do, is to begin
now preparing yourselves, not to
shrink from, but to accept this
challenge.

And as the school year contin-
tinues to grow shorter and short-
er, I hope to see in each of you,
the spirit of learning exempli-
fied. Do your best and be your
best at all times. Prepare your-
selves now, for the challenges
of tomorrow.

Why We Celebrate Thanksgiving

By Elizabeth Jordan
"Let us give thanks." Many
of us lose the real significance
of this national day, Thanks-
giving Day, because we are not
familiar with its origin and we
do not feel the real value of the
word, "thanksgiving."

Thanksgiving Day is a nation-
al religious festival celebrated

on the same day throughout the
country. It dates from 1863. Mrs.
Sarah J. Hale has been given
credit for bringing this about.
In 1827, while editor of the
Ladies' Magazin in Boston, she
urged the observance of a uni-
form day throughout the coun-
try for the expression of thanks
throughout the year. Mrs. Hale

A Look Into
The News

Current News Analysis
By Ronald T. Evans

At the very early part of this
month the American people went
to the polls and elected a demo-
cratic Congress to guide the
destiny of the nation for the
next two years. There is no
doubt in the minds of many
what factors are responsible for
the defeat of the very popular
Republican party of 1952, headed
by Dwight D. Eisenhower.

It is the belief of this reporter
that several factors contributed
to the defeat of the G. O. P ,
among which party solidarity
ranks foremost a sa factor. Since
the victory of 1952 there has been
a struggle between the Taft
groups, the Dewey groups, the
liberal Republicans and the Mc-
Carthy crowd. However, there
are other factors which contrib-
uted such as (1) the farm pol-
icy, (2) the McCarthy hearings,
which certainly brought no
credit to the party, and (3 1 un-
employment.

Sundown

By Isaiah Mclver

As the sun is setting low

And the darkness slowly steals

the day
The moon and stars begin their

nightly escape
In the heaven above at sundown.
The moon is shining in all its

gracious splendor,
As the sun i& soundly sleeping

in its bed of gold,
And the stars twinkle in the

heaven so tender
At sun down.
All creatures of the earth are

soundly sleeping
And there is never a sound of

weeping,
As the dew sends down its mois-

tering fragrance
To feed the flowers so fragrant

and tender,
At sun down.

From nowhere comes the eve-
ning breeze
Sighing softly through the trees,
At sun down.
Everywhere is peaceful and

sweet,
When the sun is setting low
And the day slowly steals away,
At sun down.

other editorials to the governors
of all the states, and to the
President.

On October 3, 1863, President
Lincoln Issued a national
Thanksgiving Proclamation, set-
ting apart the last Thursday
in November as the day to be ob-
served. In some localities re-
ligious services are held in
churches and afterwards the
people gather around to bounte-
ous feasting and praising God.

As we approach this day let
us be mindful of its surround-
ing significance. Let us, too. like
the pilgrims of long ago, give
thanks unto God for, "His mer-
cy is everlasting and His truth
endurcth through all genera-
tions."

Resources

Modern man is constantly in
search of supplies and materials
which he may use to develop his
ideas and ideals. The search in
the physical world has been ob-
vious and dramatic. The hunt
for uranium reminds one of the
days of the "gold rush". The
search in the field of the social
sciences has been persistent,
though less dramatic. This is
true, perhaps, because much of
the materials required for the
solution of social and personal
problems can be found in the
minds of individuals. The ma-
terials required to answer ques-
tions and solve problems in this
area must be identified in what
many have had to say. The
hunting grounds for these ma-
terials lie in books, magazines,
and other forms of written com-
munication.

During the month of November
American colleges, along with
other institutions of our society,
observe two national weeks
American Education Week and
National Book Week. During
American Education Week many
were concerned about our schools,
their financial support and their
contribution to the American way
of life. National Book Week,
which followed American Educa-
tion Week, was directly related
to all of the materials discussed
in each. In fact, many individ-
uals think of books primarily in
terms of schools and colleges.
The much broader concept of
books and written materials as
resources for answers and solu-
tions to individual and group
problems is less widespread. Such
a limited concept of books con-
stantly restricts the growth and
achievement of the individuals
out of school, either as dropouts
or graduates, as well as that of
students in college.

A little study on what one may
find in books and magazines will
revi-al a serious neglect of vital
resources within the reach of
every college student. The ma-
terials which students need to
educate themselves can be found
in abundance in books and
magazines. If one wishes to
strengthen his motive for at-

tending college; if one wishes to
gain inspiration; if one wishes
to acquire a point of view or a
philosophy of life; if one wishes
to discover the things which have
been worthwhile and significant
in our society and culture; If
one wishes information and facts
in any general or specific field;
If one wishes to find help for
personal and social adjustment;
one can discover any one or all
of them in the books and peri-
odicals in which other individ-
uals have expressed themselves.
It is probably not an overstate-
ment of fact to say that this is
one of the most neglected re-
sources which college students
possess. The Bible and the dic-
tionary probably constitute the
two books which are used most
frequently. These two books, l
am told by scholars in the field
do not yield anything like the
contribution which the average
individual ought to receive from
each. These two books, lik-
many others, should contrlbub
in a larger manner to one's liv-
ing and learning.
.In- my classes in general psy-
chology, it was customary foi
the students to read and repor
on the psychological novels whicl.
were written each year. In thi
way, many students were intro-
duced to an area of literatun
which had special values fo:
them personally. In a simila
manner, every field of study h
college is related to a body o;
literature, current and pas'
found in the libraries and in th-
bookstores, Growth in living an.
learning can be greatly extender
through the utilization of such
resources. The college student o:
today is expected to acquire th'
habits, skills, and motivatioi.
needed to exploit the resource,
that lie in materials which hav-
been written in the form of
books, magazines, and paper.'--
The reactions of minds witl.
various backgrounds will produc
new thoughts, ideas, and goal,
of achievement. The creativit;.
much sought to make our work:
livable, can be expected to aris>
from such a medium of inter-
action.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

nbcr, 1954

By James O'Neil

The Tigers' homecoming was
spoiled by Alabama State, 39-0.

Before a homecoming crowd
of approximately 3,000 fans at
Savannah State College Athletic
Field, the Alabama State Hor-
nets of Montgomery, Alabama,
downed the Savannah State Tig-
ers by a score of 39-0. The visi-
tors took a commanding lead of
19-0 by half time and scored 20
more points in the last half to
take the victory back to Mont-
gomery.

After receiving the kick off.
the Alabama State Hornets mov-
ed the ball down to Savannah's
4 yard line in 5 plays, only to
have the ball taken by the Tigers
on downs. After failing to move
the ball, the Tigers kicked out
to their own 35 yard line. On
the first play, William Stokes,
Alabama State star quarterback,
passed to halfback Otis Leftwich
for their touchdown. The try
for the extra failed as Stokes
tried going through the center
of the line.

After the second quarter, the
Hornets began to take to the air.
which proved to be too much for
the Tigers. The outstanding
players for Savannah were
James Willis, E. Z. McDaniel
and Robert Dulaney. Alabama
State was led by William Stokes.

man handed Savannah their
second worst defeat of the sea-
son as McArthur, Bethume's star
quarterback, passed for touch-
downs and set up the score with
other passes. Aftr reeceivlng
the kickoff, the Wildcats march-
ed to the Tigers' 54 yard line in
five plays. Unable to gain more
yards on the ground, quarterback
McArthur took to the air and hit
Sanders with a 35 yard pass. On
the next play, halfback Shields
ran the remaiinng 10 yards for
their first touchdown.

The Tigers scored their only
touchdown in the fourth period
when halfback Robert Butler
went back in punt formation and
passed to end L. J. McDaniel
for 60 yards. On the next play
Butler went 11 yards off guard
for 6 points. This was the first
time the Tigers scored on Be-
thume since the days of Savan-
nah State's A)!-American Robert
Slocum.

McArthur, Shields, Robinson,
Rainey and Sanders were the
outstanding players for Bethune

Marketing Institute of New York
to be The American Tobacco
Company Campus Representa-
tive on the Savannah State Col-

sentative he will be presenting

STRIKE and PALL MALL ciga-
rettes throughout the year to ac-
quaint them with the qualities
of these products of The Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, America's
leading manufacturer of ciga-
rettes.

The representative will be glad
to cooperate with campus organ-
izations in planning college
floats, decorations, dances, par-
ties, smokers, carnivals booths,
etc. He *will also cooperate with
local campus stores to increase
their cigarette sales. The cur-
rent campaign, one of the most
intensive conducted in the col-
lege field, is aimed at maintain-
ing LUCKIES' status as the most
popular "regular" size cigarette
in the nation's colleges and
PALL MALL'S place as the lead-
ing "king" size, as established
by 34.440 actual student inter-
views with smokers in colleges
from coast to coast conducted in
May 1954.

The Campus Representative
will be participating in a pro-

fessional, national campaign
based on the "earn-while-you-
learn" principal. He will be paid
while he learns practical busi-
ness techniques to supplement
theory studied in the classroom.
He was chosen after a careful
screening process by an SMI Re-
gional Supervisor and the SMI
Faculty Supervisor. In addition
to gaining valuable experience,
the Campus Representative will
receive a "Certificate of Com-
mendation" describing his work
for The American Tobacco Com-
pany. This certificate, which Is
proof of marketing experience,
has helped many former SMI
Representatives secure excellent
positions in the business world.

It's all in the interest of
science, Dr. Marian E. Ewen-
sald, of the UCLA department

Tigers Defeated By
Rams, lo-b

The Albany State Rams han-
ded Savannah State their fifth
loss of the season as the Tigers
were defeated 15-6 at Albany.
Ga. Savannah State threatened
to score in the first two minutes
of the game when halfback Rob-
ert Butler ran 58 yards to the
Rams' 30 yard line, only to have
the play called back when an off
side penalty wa- called against
the Tigers. The first half ended
with neither team being able to
score. With neither team being
able to score on the ground, both
teams took to the air in the last
half with Albany State drawing
the first blood when halfback
Robret Nelson passed 34 yards to
end. Morris Williams for a touch-
down. Th extra point was good
and gave the Rams a 7-0 third
quarter lead. The Rams scored
a safety on the Tigers when Rob-
ert Butler's kick was blocked in
the end zone. The Rams scored
their last touchdown when Nel-
son passed to Glenn for a 30-
yard touchdown. The try for
the extra point was blocked.
With only six minutes left in the
game. The Savannah State Ti-
gers began to use their passing
combination from Butler to Col-
lier which proved to be the Tig-
ers' number one offense weapon.
After the Tigers took over the
ball on their 15 yard line. But-
ler passed to Ford for 15 yards.
On the next play, again it was
Butler who passed to Collier for
a touchdown, the play covering
60 yards. Th try for the extra

COLLEGE SMOKERS PREFER Luckies and by z
margin according to the largest and latest coast-to-coast
college survey. Once again, the No. 1 reason: Luckies taste
better. They taste better because Lucky Strike means fine
tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better.
" It's Toasted" the famous Lucky Strike process tones
up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco to make it taste
even better. The pleasure you'll get from Luckies' better

The food classes made, for sale,
delicious layer cakes, hot rolls,

The dates for the Annual
Leadership Institute for the cur-
runt school year are January 16-
21, 1955. The Institute, which Is
under the auspices of the Per-
sonnel Department, is being con-
ducted by the following com-
mittee: Mr. George B. Williams
and Miss Madeline Harrison, co-
chairmen, Miss Johnnie M. Wil-
liams, Miss Carolyn Patterson,
Miss Louella Johnson, Mr. Prince
Wynn, Mr. Eugene Isaac, Mr.
W. J. Holloway.

The chief emphasis of the In-
stitute is to assist in the im-
provement of our student leaders
of campus organizations. If this
goal is achieved, then our fu-
ture community leaders should
be better prepared to take their
places in all phases of civic life.
In its attempt to reach this goal,
the Institute emphases, the se-

lection of leaders, the responsi-
bilities of leaders and those who
follow, the proper use of parlia-
mentary procedure.

The Institute hopes to reach
all students through its assemb-
ly program. In the smaller
clinics on parliamentary proce-
dure it will work with all officers
of all student organizations, and
their advisors. Through the
freshman and sophomore orien-
tation classes it hopes to discuss
as many phases of leadership
as the students think necessary.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Greetings from the Student Council Box

By Curtis V. Cooper

We are rapidly approaching the yuletlde season when all of us
will pause from our dally chores to pay tribute to the miracle of
Bethlehem.

Christmas is a time for joy, it is a time when all of our burdens
should be lifted. Our hearts should be filled with the spirit of giving,
and a new look toward our tasks should be assumed.

America is a wonderful place, and we hope that, in spite of the
opposing forces of the worlld. we will be able to keep it that way.
This is a land of freedom, of good will, of future, and of inspiration
for the oppressed. In this land we know and observe the true mes-
sage of that most wonderful star that shined in the east, signifying
that God the creator of all had given men a savior who would
reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords forever.

Let us join hands with the people of this country, and the peo-
ples of the world in paying respect to the greatest gift in the history
of the world.

Let us this Christmas season make noble and liberal contribu-
tions to CARE, to the United Community Fund, to the Cancer Fund,
to the Tuberculosis campaign, to our churches, to the YMCA, and
YWCA, and to those persons In our communities and those abroad,
who are in need of our aid. We urge both students and faculty
members to accept this challenge. And, with this challenge, we hope
you will remember the savior's message that it is better to give than
to receive.

We certainly hope that this Christmas will be one of the mer-
riest you have ever known. And when you return in '55, may your
new year be filled with happiness and achievement here at the
college.

Christmas, A Triangle

As we think in terms of ob-
serving Christmas, suppose we
think of the observance from a
three-fold point of view or from
a triangular point of view.
Three-fold, because there are
three main elements with vary-
ing degrees of importance.

The first element is sacred-
ness. Sacred, because it is the
birthday of our supreme being,
Jesus Christ. The second ele-
ment is thankfulness. Be ye
thankful unto God for having
bestowed his love, mercy, and
kindness upon us and who gave
us life itself. The third ele-
ment is giving. There is an art
in giving. Give not with the
expectation of receiving, but
give because there is an inner
motive which urges you to do so
with a warm spirit and a willing
mind. Give because there is a
definite need to do so. Put sun-
shine in someone's life by giv-

ing to those who are in need,
those who are unfortunate, those
who can be made happy because
of a simple, yet meaningful gift.

There you have the triangle.
It is a triangle because it has
three sides, two of which are
of equal importance. The first
element represents the base of
the triangle. The base because
without the birth of Christ there
would be no life. It is the part
by which all other phases of life
must pass. The latter two ele-
ments represent the two sides
of the triangle, which are of
equal importance.

So when we are about to ob-
serve or celebrate Christmas, let
us think of the triangle the
three major elements: sacred-
ness, thankfulness, and giving.
These things mean Christmas.
Will you celebrate Christmas in
the right way?

s/c
Isaiah Mclvek/ The Democratic senator from

Texas, Mr. Lyndon Johnson, who
will be the Senate Majority
Leader in the next session of
the Senate, outlines the prospect
as he sees it.

What will th Democrats do
about the McCarthy censure if
no vote is reached this year? We
will face up to the issue. We
are ready to vote now, we have
been ready to vote for quite
sometime. If an issue should be
faced at this Congress and cir-
cumstances prevent it from be-
ing faced, we will certainly live
up to our responsibilities and
face it when we take over.

What will the 1955 Democratic
Legislative program be? We will
proceed as rapidly as possible to
build up the nation's defense;
to assure our farmers a fairer
share of the nation's income,
to break the bottleneck of for-
eign trade, to broaden the credit
base and put an end to the evil
effects of the hard-money policy.
To what extent do you expect
to cooperate with President
Eisenhower? Naturally, we don't
yet know what will be in the
program which he will present
to the next Congress. The only
thing that can be said now is
that we Democrats will cooperate
on any measure which our inner
conscience tells us will advance
the best interests of the coun-
try. But in any event, there will
be no personal attacks upon the
integrity of the President or
upon his intentions.

Where will you not go along
with the President? At the mo-
ment, the most important issue
in disagreement is the Dixon-

The Christmas Story:
Giving and Receiving

By Rosa M. Stubbs '56

Christmas is part of a family
affair. Dad sometimes thinks he
is playing Santa for the entire
town when holiday bills start
flowing in. Mother feels like
taking to her bed for a Jong,
long rest after days of baking,
cleaning, decking the halls with
holiday decoration, and oversee-
ing the hundred and one things
that are a part of the family's
Christmas spirit.

The kiddies are wrapped up
in giving and receiving gifts at
Christmas time and in looking
forward to Saint Nicholas' ar-
rival on Christmas Eve night.

But first of all we should know
how the custom of giving gifts
at Christmas time came into
existence. According to one
legend there were three sisters
living on the outskirts of Myra
who wanted to get married. They
had their future husbands se-
lected and were all ready to "pop
the question." No doubt they had

the perfect spot picked to build
a new home. But according to
the custom of that day, a wom-
an was expected to present her
suitor with a dowry, which con-
sisted of money or property, be-
fore he would take her for his
bride.

But the sisters were poor and
could not offer a dowry. The
good Saint Nicholas heard of
their situation and came to their
rescue. One dark night while
the sisters lay sleeping and
dreaming empty dreams. Saint
Nicholas passed by their home
and left a bundle on the door-
step, containing a respectable
dowry for each of the three
young ladies. The girls were
married and lived the tradition-
al happy life thereafter.

From this legend came the
custom of giving gifts at Christ-
mas time, making Saint Nich-
olas one of the best loved sym-
bols of the season.

Hints to Gift-Givers

By Pauline Silas

Gee, girls and boys, Christmas
is almost around the corner and
I am sure you are wondering
what kind of gift you are go-
ing to give that "dear" of yours.
Well, here are a few helpful
hints of do's and don'ts.

Traditionally, expensive gifts
are improper between girls and
boys as are items of apparel
like underwear, dresses, and
blouses which are just too per-

sonal. Among gifts that may be
exchanged are: books, inexpen-
sive jewelry, pens, stationery,
and items relating to hobbles,
car gadgets, and the like. Flow-
ers and candy are standard
items for boys to give girls.
Candy is also a good gift for
girls to give boys.

A picture of yourself for your
best "bear", this is the nicest
present of all. However, guard
against scrawling extravagantly

worded sentiments on it. His
mom will read it you know, not
to mention every one of his pals.
Don't give out photographs
promiscuously. Any boy but
your true love will be embar-
rassed to receive such a gift. Of
course, that kind of gift loses
its meaning if passed wholesale.

When to give gifts: Christ-
mas and birthdays are tradition-
al gift-giving times, but there
are other times when you might
give a little gift.

Gifts between girls should be
In good taste too. While good
friends may give each other
practically anything from night-
ies to nail polish the gifts
should not be too expensive.
Family gifts should show a bit
of ingenuity as well as generos-
ity. Be as observant as you can
and give accordingly: a set of
miniature lipstick to the young-
er sister who is experimenting
with makeup; a scarf for moth-
er that exactly matches her
eyes; a good brace and bit for
a handyman dad.

When you are given a present,
open it at once so that the giver
can see your pleased expression.
Thank the giver warmly and
sincerely, but be careful not to
carry on so about it that you
are obviously feigning delight.
When a gift arrives from an ab-
sent friend, don't ever hesitate
to dash off a thank-you letter
within a day or two.

In good solid friendships,
friends do not worry about
whether "her present to me was
as expensive as the one I gave
her," or "I gave her a Christ-
mas present, and she didn't give
me one." Good friends give a
little or a lot when the spirit
moves them; for they know that
it Is the spirit behind any gift
that counts.

Message from the President

By Tom Evans
Will a Democratic Congress
block the Eisenhower program?
How far will it go along with the
President on vital problems
which it must consider in the
coming session? These are some
of the questions that are fore-
most in the minds of the Ameri-
James Thomas /" can pe0 ple.

Christmas Is Always New

As the Christmas season draws
near, one should see it as an en-
tirely new experience. The con-
cept of Christmas is expected
to show growth and maturity.
The enjoyment of it must be
related to experiences through
which one has passed during the
year and the years before. Each
year provides an additional sup-
ply of ideas, memories, and
understandings. It is safe to say
that the richer the experiences
which one has had the deeper -
and more meaningful will be
the Christmas joys.

It is necessary to prepare for
Christmas as one would prepare
for any other special occasion.
There is no inference that one
should prepare to have the most
joyous and the happiest Christ-
mas. Happiness and joy do not
come to those who seek them as
goals or ends in themselves.
These are to be found when one
lives properly and succeeds in
providing for the increased com-
fort, happiness, and joy of oth-
ers. This activity is less related
to financial expenditure than
to the expression of Interest.
care, and love. Christmas is a
time when individuals forget
themselves and think of their
fellowmen. The activities asso-
ciated with the observance of
Christmas are varied, rapid, and
emotionally charged. While to
many they may seem extraneous

and nonrelated, these activities
provide the conditions for the
atmosphere which makes the
Christmas Spirit contagious. It
is perhaps the most important
season of the year for the pro-
motion of thinking in terms of
the welfare of mankind. Per-
haps at no other season of the
year do individuals wish to have
hearts larger and greater means
for expression of good will than
at Christmas time.

The college students in the
year 1954 will find many op-
portunities to express their
growth in the concept of Christ-
mas. The books which they will
read during the holiday season,
the friendships that will be. re-
newed and acquaintances that
will be formed provide a vaca-
tion from the routine of study.
This change from the regular
program must, however, be in-
fluenced by the daily life of the
student just as it is with an In-
dividual In any other vocation.
Those who grow from year to
year never construct for them-
selves two Christmases which
are alike Whatever status one
may occupy today, he has some-
thing which others would en-
joy having him share. In this
process of sharing and giving
one experiences the new Christ-
mas each year.

W. K. Payne,
President

Yates contract. We also dis-
agree strongly with the Secre-
tary of Agriculture on the farm
program. Other disagreements
will probably develop. But we
do not think it is the role of
a responsible party to create di-
visions solely for the sake of
advantage in a coming elec-
tion.

Just how much consultation
do the Democrats expect on
domestic policy? We are not
looking for bipartisanship on
any domestic policy. There is
no reason for advance consulta-
tion or advance cooperation be-
tween two political parties on
such issues. If we believe that
the President's policies advance
the interests of the country, we
will advance them regardless of
their origin or their party affili-
ations.

How much do you expect on
foreign policy? Bipartisanship
is entirely the prerogative of the
President. If he decides there
should be no bipartisanship, we
will not criticize him for that
decision, even though we may
criticize his specific decisions in
the field of foreign policy. Bi-
partisanship in foreign policy is
of no advantage to the opposi-
tion party. It is a burden. If
the President decides to run the

There is no best way of choos-
ing the right book or the recom-
mended book for your Christmas
reading or giving. To help us
make this decision we can rely
on the Reviewers or the "Best
Seller" lists. Although the liter-
ary critics and the "Lists" are
often at variance, a reader
should not hesitate to examine
and appraise a book that the
reading public has purchased
consistently from week to week,
often without the critics' ap-
proval.

Norman Vincent Peale's The
Power of Positive Thinking is a
popular and reviewer approved
book. Starting in October 1952,
this title has continuously been
on all best seller lists. It is sig-
nificant that this book which
gives men and women a deeper
understanding of themselves has
remained so popular.

outstanding books of the year on
government, politics, history and

The Young Women's Christian
Association sponsored the cam-
pus Thanksgiving Communion
Service with the able assistance
of our college minister. This
has come to be an annual ob-
servance and each year it seems
that the interest in this service
increases. In spite of the early
hour and the low temperature,
the attendance was very good.
We hope that we can make the
service such a stimulating one
that all students and faculty
members who remain on the
campus for the Thanksgiving
holidays will participate in the
service.

For our Christmas meeting we
have planned a worship service
in keeping with the season and
the telling of at least one Christ-
mas story. Our special attrac-
tion at this meeting will be our
guest, Miss Althea Williams. Miss
Williams will give instructions
in the attractive and effective
wrapping of Christmas gifts.
Since everyone exchanges gifts
at Christmas time, we felt that
all students, both men and wom-
en, would be interested in learn-
ing new ways to make these
gifts attractive.

LES MODES

By Mercedes Mitchell '55

The swiftly approaching Christ-
mas season Is upon us and it
finds everyone in a festive mood,
even the season's colors have the
tendency to be bright and color-
ful. The ripe, rich tangerine and
forest green rate as "Hit Number
One" in the parade of colors.

Many parties and dances will
be given during this joyous sea-
son but let us take time out
amidst the hilarious mood of gai-
ety to realize the true meaning
of Christmas. The season's win-
ter white is symbolic of that
mood- white being pure and sac-
red.

The regular Christmas colors
red and green still find their
place in the rainbow of Christ-
mas fashions. Many party dres-
ses, made of crisp taffeta, soft
satin, and dainty marquisette are
red the color of the Christmas
season.

Accessories, as well as the maj-
or part of the outfit, contain the
green hue. Should the garment
be plaid or floral, green finds it-
self in the design of beauty. Ir-
redescent, the green serves as a
base for the lighter colors and
solid green is lovely, a beautiful
cool looking fall color.

The columnist extends to the
many readers "A Joyous Yule-
tide Season". See you next year! !

THE TIGER'S ROAR

December. 1954 '

Sports As I See It

By James O'Neal

Although the Savannah State Tigers won only one game
this season, one can very well see that it was a much improved
team over last season. The Tigers scored only six points last season
while their opponents were scoring at will with an amazing total
of 435 points. This season the Tigers averaged six points per game
and held their opponents to 260 points. Savannah managed to
score against all of their opponents except Alabama State College
Much of the succes of the team

can be given to head coach Ross
Pearley, who took over the team
at the beginning of the season
with little chance of scoring and
no chance of winning. Well done,
Pearley. Luck to you next sea-
son.

Four of Savannah State's play-
ers were named to the All S. E.
A. C. football teams. On the first
team were sophomore guard Al-
bert Strutchins and senior full-
back Willian Weatherspoon. So-
phomore haifback Robert Butler
and senior end James Collier
were placed on the second team.

With two All S. E. A. C. players
returning next year and a much
improved team as a whole, the
Tigers will be hard to beat, Five

careers Thanksgiving Day. The
seniors are James Ashe, James
Willis, William Weatherspoon,
James Collier, and Louis Con-
yers. Although most of your col-
legiate football has been with a
losing team, you have proved
that you can take it when the
chips are down. Nice going, fel-
lows, and luck to you.

Now that football is a thing of
the past and the fans are begin-
ning to get the basketball fever,
let us take a look at the Tigers'
basketball team. Last year the
Tigers were rated among the top
Negro teams of the Nation. With
all the same players back plus
the freshmen and other new-
comers, they are expected to
equal or better last year's record.
Last season the Tigers won both
the S. E. A. C. conference and
tournament championship. They
were also invited to the national

all record for the season was 23
victories and 9 defeats.

This season, the Tigers will
probably dominate everything in
their conference. However, the
team has a heavier conference
schedule ... so your guess is as
good as mine.

Tiger Cagers Lose
Opener to S. C. Bulldogs

The Savannah State Tigers lost
their first home game of the sea-
son as the South Carolina Bull-
dogs came from behind with on-
ly seconds to play to edge the
Tigers 65-82.

Before the game was a minute
old, the Tigers jumped out in
front with a six-point lead but
found themselves trailing the
Bulldogs 21-31 at the half.

Savannah's Cecilio Williams,
who scored only six points in the
first half, came back with 26
points in the last half to give
Savannah a three point lead
with two minutes left in the
game. The "never say die" Bull-
dogs came back with 6 quiet
points to win the game 65-62.

The Tigers will play three more
games before Christmas: North
Carolina State Callege at Dur-
ham on December 11, Benedict
on December 14, and Clark Col-
lege of Atlanta on December 17.

em in the first round. The over-

In Thanksgiving Classic tournament at Nashville, but

The Savannah State Tigers were eliminated by Texas South
won their first game in two years
as they edged Paine College of
Augusta 7 to in the Annual
Thanksgiving Classic at Savan-
nah State Athletic Field.

This was also the first victory
of Coach Ross Pearley at S. S. C
who has taken over as head men-
tor of the Tigers this year. The
last game the Tigers won was
against Paine College in 1952
when they defeated Paine 20-0.

The first three quarters found
neither team being able to score
beceause of the hard bruising
tackling. Savannah State threat-
ened to score early in the second
quarter when halfback Robert
Butler ran 46 yards to Paines' 28
yard line.

After receiving the kickoff in
the third quarter, the Tigers run-
ning attack began to click with
halfbacks Jerry Turner, Robert
Butler, and William Weather-
spoon doing the running. These
three backs moved the ball from
their own ten-yard line down to
Paine's 26 yard line. This drive
was stopped when Paine's half-
back Charles Mathls intercepted
one of quarterback Daniel Burn's
passes, and ran it back to his own
47 yard line. On the fourth down
Paine was forced to kick from
their own 40 down to Savannah's
25 yard line. Quarterback Daniel
Burns returnted the punt back
to the mid-field stripe. After two
running piays which gained no
yardage, halfback Butler passed
to fullback Weatherspoon for 25
yards, and he ran the ball to
Paine's 11 yard line. Again it was
Weatherspoon going through to
the center of the line for 10 yards
which gave Savannah a first
down on Paine's 1 yard line. At
this point Paine put on one of
the greatest line stands of the
game when they refused to let
the Tigers cross over into pay-
dirt. The third quarter ended
with Paine taking over on their
one yard line.

Taking no chances with the
ball deep in their territory, Paine
kicked on the first down, and
Savannah took over on Paine's
32 yard line. On the first play,
halfback Robert Butler shook off
three would-be Paine tackles,
and raced 32 yards over Paine's
goal line standing up for 6 points
and the only touchdown of the
game. Quarterback Daniel Burns
ran off tackle for the extra point.

The outstanding players for
Savannah were Jerry Turner, Al-
bert Schutchins, Robert Butler,
Robert Dulaney, William Wether-
spoon, and James Willis. Paine
was led by Calvin Turner, Jesse
Oray and Charles Mathis.

our only request is that we be

consulted in advance in the for-
mulation of policy. We are not

i From an exclusive interview
with Senate Leader Johnson
Taken from Newsweek Maga-
zine by the author.)

It Is the belief now that a
meeting of the Big Four before
the end of 1955 is a definite fact.
The principals would be Elsen-
hower, Churchill, Mendes-France
and Malenkov.

The object of the meeting
would be to find a way other
than perpetual cold warfare, by
which the Communist East and
the Demorcratic West can feel
reasonably secure in inhabiting
the same globe.

However, it is the belief of this
columnist that the pre-condi-
tions will have an effect upon
this conference. The Brussels
and Paris agreements providing
a free West Germany, must be
ratified and in effect. The Rus-
sians must evidence sincerity.

The above conditions would
fit the president's now clearly
drawn foreign policy line, which
calls for a determined effort to
keep the peace and to flatly re-
ject the alternative of an East-
West atomic war.

Through the kindness of Mr.
Robert C. Long, Sr., of the Busi-

Institute Committee was able to
secure the services of Mr, Wen-
dell P. Alston, Public Relations
representative of the Standard
Oil Company. Mr. Alston spoke
during one of the Social Edu-
cation hours in the College Cen-
ter, Wednesday, January 19. He
spoke on the subject "Leader-
ship Opportunities in Business."

Mr. Alston was well equipped
with a wealth of information
that was of interest to the stu-
dents in the business department
and any others who might not
intend to teach. He very care-
fully explained how opportuni-
ties for Negroes are opening up
in businesses that formerly em-
ployed no Negroes. If students
become aware of these new pos-
sibilities, they can begin prepar-

MISS MARY HERD

Miss Mary Herd, M. Ed., has
been appointed director of the
reading clinic at Savannah State
College, it was announced by
President W. K. Payne. She re-
places Mrs. Juanita Sellers Stone,
whose resignation became ef-
fective at the end of the fall
quarter.

Miss Herd holds the A B. de-
gree from Knoxville College, and
the M. Ed. degree from the Uni-
versity of Southern California,
where she has continued her
study toward the doctorate. Prior
to coming to Savannah State,

to take on an obligation, he
should first count the cost before
he unwittingly takes on the re-
sponsibility. Our leaders will not
be successful in their respective
fields unless they assume this
attitude.

ice was rendered by the Girls'

School, under the direction of
Miss Jane Parker. They sang
"The Star" by Rogers and Schu-

service was the Reverend Perce!

rector of the Dorchester Com-
munity Cooperative. Rev. Alston
selected as his subject "What
Time Is It?" He explained that
he did not mean what hour of
the day or what day of the week.
But in a deeper or broader sense
he wanted to know what time is
it? There may be some people
in the world who would say it is
time to live for the moment only,
to crowd as much fun as is pos-

others who say it is time to make

Job Placement Clinic Was
Held By Personnel

By George Johnson

The department of student personnel services presented a job
placement clinic for the students at Savannah State College in
Meldrim Hall from January 7-13. The activities of the clinic in-
cluded: a job placement conference for seniors, a display of job
possibilities, and an address on job opportunities in general as-
sembly.

The first session on Saturday morning was open to seniors.
It included two general sessions and a seminar, featuring three
groups; business, education, and trades and industries.

In the first general session
and Behavior Employees Expect
of Employees", was presented by
Mr Sidney A. Jones, a business
man of Savannah; Mr. W. W.
McCune, assistist superintendent
of public schools and director of
teacher-employment in Savan-
nah; Mr. W. B. Nelson, director
of the division of trades and in-
dustries at the College; and Mrs.
Sophronia Tompkins, principal
of Woodville High School in Sa-
vannah. Dr. C. L. Kiah, chair-
man of the department of edu-
cation, served as coordinator.

In the seminars, the students
were told of the possible job
opportunities in their respective
areas and the methods of secur-
ing these positions. Dr. C. L.
Kiah served as chairman of the
education seminar, Mr. Robert C.
Long, chairman of the business
seminar, and Mr. W. B. Nelson,
chairman of the trades and in-
dustries seminar.

After a coffee break, another
general session was held at
which time Mrs. Donella Sea-
brook and Mr. Leonard Law
served as leaders of a discussion

a panel discussion, "Competencies

on "Interviewing Principals and
Procedures"; Mr. Robert Long
and Dr. Thomas Saunders led
the discussion on "Correct Busi-
ness Letters." Mr. J. R. Jenkins,
executive secretary at the West
Broad Street YMCA, delivered an
address, "The Individual and the
Job,"

On Thursday, January 13, Dr.
Margurite Adams, counselor and
professor of psycology at Shaw
University, spoke on a "New Look
in Job Opportunities for Negroes
in America", to the entire stu-
dent body and members of the
faculty. She stressed the fact
that though job opportunities
have been scarce in the past
years, today, there is a new look
in job opportunities regardless
to one's race, color, or creed.

Dr. Adams concluded her mes-
sage by stating that college stu-
dents should aim at top level
jobs which require honesty, sin-
cerity, loyalty, communicative
ability and a pleasant personal-
ity. "All of these are undis-
putable requirements to receive
a top level job."

of the opinion that anyone who
took this viewpoint has a very
limited range of vision. Rather,
he would think that this is a
time for service to humanity.
And this service presupposes
adequate preparation. The cry-
ing need of our age is not the
need of good doctors, and good
lawyers, but we need good men
and good women who will be-
come good doctors and good law-
yers.

The Savannah State College
Choral Society, under the direc-
tion of Dr. Coleridge Braithwaite,
sang the very beautiful "God
Be in My Head", by Grant-
Schaefer.

At the All-College Assemblies
two panels were presented. Tues-
day. January 18, Dean W. J. Hol-
loway co-ordinated the panel:
"The Advisor and Student Or-
ganizations. The participants
were Mrs. Ella W. Fisher, Mrs.
Louise Owens, Homer Bryson
and Dr. B. T. Griffith. Thurs-
day, January 20. Mr. Curtis
Cooper, President of the Stu-
dent Council, was co-ordinator
for the panel: "Responsibilities
of Leaders at Savannah State
College." Mr. Cooper was very
ably assisted by three members
of the Council Miss Nadine
Cooper, Mr. William Horton, Miss
Peola Wright and Mr. John
Clemmons. one of the advisors.

Better Leadership
For a Better
World; Theme 1/

One of the main highlights of
the Leadership Institute was the
repeated emphasis on Parlia-
mentary Procedure. The Com-
mittee felt that this information
is always needed by everyone
and too much emphasis cannot
be placed upon it. The Fresh-
man and Sophomore Orientation
classes had "guest professors"
this week. These professors were
invited to lecture to each class
for one class period during the
week. The lecturers were Mr.
Bertrand, Mr. Black, Mr. Clay,
Miss Davis, Mr. E. J. Dean, Mr.
W. E. Griffin, Mr. Leftwich, Dean
Meyers, Mr. Peacock, Dr. E. K.
Williams and Mr. Robert Long,
Sr.

At the social education hour
Monday afternoon, January 17,
at 2:30 p.m., Dr. R. Grann Lloyd
was guest speaker at the general
seminar on parliamentary pro-
cedure. Dr. Lloyd used the very
effective approach of deailing
with the many misconceptions
one may have about parliamen-
tary procedure. These miscon-
ceptions were concerned with the
custom of the Chairman's not
voting, the usual custom of ac-
cepting of the treasurer's re-
port, and the reading of cor-
respondence, committee reports,
the withdrawing of a motion, the
kinds of motions which do not
require a second. Time was al-
lowed for a question period and
the students responded quite
eagerly.

Leadership

Now, let us not fool ourselves.
There is no magic in democracy
that does away with the need of
great leadership. Democracy
must both create and control its
own leadership. And it cannot
afford to neglect either half of
this responsibility. If a democra-
cy thinks only of the creation
of leadership, forgetting its con-
trol, it may end the vassal of a
dictator, or a secret oligarchy,
but if a democracy thinks only
of the control of leadership, for-
getting its creation, it will end
the victim of mediocre leaders
who are more interested in hold-
ing a job than in doing a job.
Democracy is still young and we
may yet go on the rocks if we
blunder in this business of creat-
ing and controlling our leaders.
When humanity smashed the
twin traditions of the divinity of
kings and the docility of sub-
jects, the whole problem of find-
ing and following leaders had
to be worked out on a new basis.
So far we have not if we are
willing to be honest made a
brilliant success of our venture.
We spend half our time crying
for great leadership, and the
other half crucifying great lead-

ers when we are lucky enough
to find them. The danger of our
democracy, as I see it, lies in
bur tendency to select leaders
who are similar to the rank and
file of us, whereas the hope of
democracy seems to me to lie in
our selecting leaders who are su-
perior to the rank and file of
us. This cuts to the heart of the
whole problem of leadership in
a democracy. Just what should
we look for in our leaders?
Should we hunt for leaders who
will follow us? . . . Should we
look for leaders who will always
think like us or for leaders
who might be able to think for
us in a pinch and respecting
problems of which we did not
have basic information?

. . . We dare not ignore the fact
that no form of government can
endure that trusts only its medi-
ocre men in positions of leader-
ship. The most difficult lesson
American democracy has to learn
is this to learn to tolerate lead-
ers who are great enough to dif-
fer from their constituencies
when necessary. From an ad-

Frank, President of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.

How Large is Our World

By Rev. Wesley Griffin "57"

No one needs to be tied down
to a little world any more. We
can get in our car and go some-
where, get on the train and go
somewhere, get on a plane and
go somewhere. When I was in
the service I spent one Friday
and Saturday with my wife in
Savannah, attended a meeting
in Waycross Sunday morning
and spent the rest of the evening
with my mother. I was back in
Louisiana Monday morning,
ready for work. One does not
have to live in a small world;
with a little planning, we can
literally fly around the world.
How large is our world?

One can always escape a little
world through the world of mem-
ory and the world of imagina-
tion. All at once I am sitting on
a high hill, an old hill known as
Gadra where the Gardarene
demoniac lived having a picnic
lunch on a great, flat rock and
looking out over the Sea of Gali-
lee in the distance, the port of
Tiberius, the ancient site of
Capernaum, the place which
Jesus made memorable by his
visits. I can just as easily in
a moment take a plane and float
silently, almost effortlessly, fif-
teen or twenty thousand feet

above a cloud-flecked sea and
watch the sun come and touch
those clouds with glory. Another
moment I can be sailing over
London in a plane and I can pick
out, although I have never been
there before, Westminster, St.
Paul, and the London Bridge
that came falling down one time.
I can see it all in a moment of
time. How large is our world?

If you cannot go around the
world yourself, if you cannot
take a plane and go places, spend
a dollar or two and go with Bur-
ton Holmes. He will take you
anywhere in the world. You do
not need to live in a little world;
you can use some of your leisure
time with books of travel and go
to the far places of the earth.
You can enlarge your world al-
most at will, if you just take the
lime. Go as far as the library
and you can expand your world
almost infinitely. How large is
your world?

No, you do not have to live in
a little world. You can use some
of your leisure time, and then
say, "I've made the trip, not by
plane, but with Theodore Roose-
velt, up Lost River, to the interl-

INTERNATIONAL NEWS

The much talked about issue
concerning the French approval
/of rearming West Germany has
finally been settled. The credit
for the success of this very much
pushed foreign policy of the
Western powers is due largely to
the relentless efforts and shrewd
diplomatic ability of the French
Premier. Mendes-France.

It is the opinion of this writer
that Premier Mendes-France
should be commended by the
leaders of the western world. He
was not only successful in se-
curing the ratification but has
kept the present French govern-
ment from dissolving. There are
those, however, who say that the
French had no choice except to
ratify the Paris agreements, be-
cause of the pressure exerted
upon them by the United States
and the British. This factor must
have had its effect, but it is the
belief of this columnist that, if
France had not wanted to re-
arm Western Germany, the Paris
agreements would have received
the same treatment as did the
European Defense Community
Plan of Secretary of State. John
Foster Dulles.

The French have had their say
and now it is up to Germany
and Italy. With the much liked
Chancellor Conrad Adneaur, the
Germans are expected to ratify
the Paris agreement without too
much difficulty; however, this
will not be true with Italy. The
supporters of this policy in Italy
do not seem to be so strong as
those in Germany. .

The Paris agreement and the
French ratification of it have led
to outright accusations by the
Soviet Union that the Western
World Is seeking domination.
The Kremlin has gone beyond
accusations and has begun to
issue warnings and threats to
the countries who favor the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion. It is my belief that these
warnings and threats are a mat-
ter of propaganda.

NATIONAL NEWS

The 84th Congress has been
organized, but the familiar faces
and much heard of names for
the past two years will not ap-
pear so frequently, because of
the past congressional election
in which the Democrats returned
to rule once again.

The Democrats, under the
leadership of Senator Lyndon
Johnson in the Senate and
Speaker Sam Rayburn in the
House, have pledged to cooperate
with the administration as much
as possible. I am of the opinion
that the President and new con-
gress will agree on foreign af-
fairs, but they are likely to clash
on domestic affairs.

President Eisenhower, instead
of delivering the customary State
of the Union Message, felt that
he could create a closer tie be-
tween the executive branch of
the government and the legisla-
tive branch by preparing several
messages instead of compiling all
of them in a single speech. The
affairs of the nation have be-
come so vast that sufficient at-
tention can not be given to a
particular policy in a single
speech.

The President's first message
concerned the appeal for a
three-year extension of the re-
ciprocal trade law with authority
to cut tariffs up to 15 per cent
during this period.

As we face the New Year, often
one observes with interest the
manner in which man has
marked off periods of time. This
is especially noticeable when one
realizes that time is continuous
from age to age. These units of
time marked off by man have
become centers about which cus-
toms have been developed. The
beginning of a new year repre-
sents one of the clusters of civi-
lized activity. At this time of the
year individuals and businesses
take inventory and forecast their
outlook for the incoming year.
It is a form of activity in which
students engage as well as those
occupied with other forms of ac-
tivity.

The life which the modern
student leads is filled with ac-
tivity. In fact many have diffi-
culty in providing for the num-
ber and variety of things which
must be carried on in their oc-
cupation. Yet, every individual
seeking an education must make
a place for many things if the
individual is to be well educated.
The students who take inventory
and discover that all of their
time is utilized in reading books,
writing papers, preparing for ex-
aminations will come to gradua-
tion with only a meager prepa-
ration for living. Well-rounded
education requires that learning
take place in many different
areas. Every educated person
displays competence in terms of
the society in which he lives.
Time must be provided, there-
fore, for gaining knowledge and
information about the current
political, social, economic, and
religious development .Much of
this may be achieved through
the reading of newspapers, mag-
azines, current books, through
conversation and discussion,
through radio and television and
the theater. The definite amount
of time to be given to each of
these must be properly balanced
in terms of the other activities
which constitute the student's
life. Recreation and physical
activity which are as necessary
as eating and sleeping must be
provided systematically. Each of
these activities requires time and
a place on the schedule of the
student. It may be said that the
student who receives the greatest
growth during his college years
is the one who places these ac-
tivities in the best relationship
for his individual personality.

The goals which students set
for themselves often seem dis-
tant and far removed. Yet if one
considers that time will take him
to some destination which may
or may not be the place he pre-
fers, he could be less dependent
upon chance. The taking of in-
ventory at the beginning of the
year enables the student to
evaluate the year which is past
and to plan the year which is
beginning. At this time it is
possible to readj ust schedules
for the individual's living and to
set up objectives for both the
present and th e future, ^fu-
dents, in some instances, select
lesser goals because they want
to enjoy what appears to be the
most important things for the
moment. It is often possible for
a student to secure a job which
pays him a salary equivalent to
that of present-day graduates.
To interrupt one's training for
such an opportunity means that
the individual will soon become
bored becaused he is forced to
live on the same plane for such
a long time. Monetary rewards
or relief from the discipline of
study and learning do not con-
stitute sound bases for abridging
one's education. There is suffi-
cient evidence to support the
statement that opportunities in
almost every area will continue
to be better and that those who

continue their education and
training will not likely drop be-
hind because of the time spent
in formal education. The great-
ly increased length of life and
period of activity characteristic
of this age provide sufficient
time for a richer and fuller life.

In almost every instance stu-
dents can greatly improve their
efficiency in the process of edu-
cating themselves. Those who
spend all of their time studying
can be just as successful in their
grades by providing for a dozen
or more types of activities that
normally go with a full college
education. |Students who spend
a large proportion of their time
hunting for some activity to take
up the time on their hands can
increase their education by sys-
aematically planning to utilize
their time with what they would
consider worthwhile activities.
This group of students found in
most of the American colleges
often does not wake up until
after graduation. Their entry
into the various occupations and
professions reveals what hap-
pened when they were in col-
lege. This is the group which
often wishes to turn the hand.">
of the clock back for another
trial at college. Then, there is
a third group which finds itself
too busy with the activities to
browse in the library, amonj
their fellow students, and in the
community. This group in an-
other way is limiting its edu-
cation. Important as all of the
activities are. one must make
provision for a well-balanced
program of living. Whatever on
wishes to include in his schedule
can be provided for if he re-
arranges the affairs in terms of
their relative values for his ac-
cepted goals.

i All that has been stated above
aiDout dividing one's time, con-
tinuing one's education, and
planning for thf present and the
future will be greatly influenced
by the individual's wishes. The
psychologists sometimes call i t
the level of aspiration. Thos^
who have low levels will need
little change in their methods of
living and learning. On the other
hand, those who have a rising
level of aspiration will be ex-
pected to find college life inter-
esting, challenging and at times
fraught with difficulties.

THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION
TO AMERICAS LITERATURE

The theme for Negro History
Week is "Negro History: A Con-
tribution to America's Intercul-
tural Life". It goes without say-
ing that this contribution to the
literature of this country should
not be neglected. In the intro-
duction to The Negro Caravan,
the editors state that they do not
believe that the expression
"Negro literature" is an accurate
one in spite of its convenient
brevity. " 'Negro literature' has
no application if it means struc-
tural peculiarity, or a Negro
school of writing. The Negro
writes in the forms evolved in
English and American litera-
ture." The terms "a Negro Nov-
el" or "a Negro play" are am-
biguous. "If they mean a novel
or a play by Negroes, then such
works as Porgy andGreen Pas-
tures are left out. If they mean
works about Negro life, they in-
clude more works by white au-
thors than by Negro, and these
works have been most influential
upon the American mind."

During 1954 a deepening inter-
est in world affairs and racial
problems on a global scale was
reflected in the works of Negro

Personally Yours

By Eveyln Smalls, '55
Just because the weather is
cool is no reason for us to be-
come careless with our personal
daintiness. Baths are just as
important in winter as they are
in summer. But baths are not
enough. They wash away past
perspiration, but there is always
more perspiration accumulating.
After a bath or shower, a de-
odorant is a rule no girl can
afford to break. A deodorant-
antiperspirant checks moisture
and gives your pretty new clothes
a longer lease on life. In any
event, clothes need the added
protection of underarm shields
and frequent cleansing to keep
them as fresh as the day you
first lifted them out of the tissue
paper.

Deodorants and deodorant
soaps are available everywhere.
And, they are within the reach
of everyone's pocket. Deodorants
aren't made just for women.
There are lots of products made
especially for MEN. And they
aren't sissy either. Mennen,
Avon, Kings Men. and other
companies have wonderful de-
odorants and after-shave prod-
ucts for men.

Don't neglect your mouth.
Brush teeth regularly with a
good toothbrush. Toothbrushes
are easier to replace than teeth.
Brush up and down, not across.
Now that the slim skirts are
the trend girls, you have to be
careful of that figure. Nothing,
but nothing, looks worse than a
girl in a slim skirt that bulges
out from the front and rear!
Every girl needs a good founda-
tion garment. There's one to
fit every type of figure. Why not
consult the expert in the foun-
dation department of your fav-
orite store before you buy? She
can help you a lot. You'll feel
better and look neater too.

Let's not forget our complex-
ion and hair. It is a wise girl
who realizes that complexion in-
cludes face and scalp. Soap d*.d
water and a complexion brush
can bring a glow to that dull
complexion. Then there are the
liquid-lather cleansers that are
very good for blackheads. The
hair brush keeps hair and scalp
clean and shining. Frequent
shampoos are not to be forgotten.
Hands, feet, elbows, and back
need extra care. Start with the
aforementioned daily scrubadub.
Choose face powder and lipsticks
that harmonize with you and
your outfit. Take a little extra
time to apply make-up for a
flattering look. Watch those lip
lines with the lipstick. Follow
Ihe natural lines of your mouth.
Cologne and perfume make a
girl who is sweet and fresh as
a blossom smell that way. Sev-
eral new fragrances are out for
fall. Try them on yourself and
choose the ones that you like
best.

We welcome you back to the
campus. We are sure that each
of your hearts is filled with hope
of continued health and happi-
ness throughout the year.

Fellow students, we ask that
you put those resolutions into
action by helping to make our
remaining school term a suc-
cessful one.

BETTER LEADERSHIP
(Continued from Page 1)

One suggestion which the
committee received after some of
these sessions was that the les-
sons or lectures should be made
more advanced for the upper
classes.

The Committee prepared a
booklist for use in problems con-
cerning organizations, the re-
sponsibilities of officers, etc.
This list included several books
in addition to the standard work,
Robert's Rules of Order. Titles
which were very highly recom-
mended were:

Cruzman: Parliamentary Pro-
cedure

Hagarty: How to Run a
Meeting

Lindgren: Effective Leadership
in Human Relations

Strauss: New Ways to Better
Meetings

Sturgis: Learning Parliamen-
tary Procedure

Sturgis: Standard Code of Par-
liamentary Procedure.

BRITISH SUMMER SCHOOLS
OPEN TO AM. STUDENTS

Summer study at British uni-
versities is open to American
students in 1955. according to an
announcement made today by
Kenneth Holland, President of
the Institute of International
Education, 1 East 67th Street,
New York City.

Six-week courses will be of-
fered at Oxford, at Stratford-
upon-Avon, and at the capital
cities of London and Edinburgh.

A limited number of scholar-
ships is available. Award and
admission application forms may
be secured from the Institute of
International Education in New
York or any of its regional of-
fices. Completed applications
should be returned to the Insti-
tute in New York by March 28,
1955. A limited number of
steamship passages on Cunard
ships are reserved for successful
candidates.

British universities have com-
bined annually since 1948 to
organize a special program of
summer schools. Courses are
planned to serve the needs of
well-qualified undergraduates in
their junior or senior years or of
post-graduate students.

Sports As I See It

By James O'Neal

After the Savannah State Ti-
gers dropped their first two bas-
ketball games of the season,
Coach Ted Wright shifted his
line-up for the next three Im-
portant games before the holi-
days. Their opponents were the
mighty North Carolina Eagles,
who were runners-up in the na-
tional tournament; Clark College
of Atlanta, who are S.I.A.C.
tournament champions; and
Benedict College of Columbia,
S. C.

In the first of these three
games, the Tigers went to North
Carolina and upset the favorite
Eagles 74-70; came back to Sa-
vannah where they dropped
Benedict 65-57; then rolled over
Clark with 15 points for an 81-
60 victory,

Coach Wright has probably
one of the best "little men" in
basketball, who is Robert Lewis
known around Savannah as "Mr.
Basketball." Lewis Is a sopho-
more who stands 5'5" and can
do practically anything with a
basketball except eat it, He is
not the player who puts on a
one-man show, but a player who
often makes his big opponents
look bad. His most effective
weapon Is his drive-in delay-
fake which means two points for
the Tigers.

Other star players of the team
Include such players as Noel
Wright, Ceclllo Williams, Rich-
ard Washington, and Otis Brock.

Wright Is the kind of player
who can play 40 minutes of
head-up basketball, and he is
at his best under pressure. He Is
known especially for his long
set-shot and his ability to steal
balls from his opponents.

Ceclllo Williams, who stands
0'7", Is a senior and an honor
student. He comes from Panama
unci has been the top scorer for
the Tigers for the past three
years. He Is dangerous both In
and away from the goal.

Washington is a Junior from
New Orleans, a hard worker, and
a threat with his jump-shot.

Otis Brock Is probably one of
the most dependable players on
the squad. He is a backboard
specialist on rebounds and shoots
from 15 to 25 points per game
with his one-hand jump and his
over-head hook.

With this team plus some
strung reserves, the Tigers will
be working hard to return to
the National Tournament again
this year. Will they????
Benedict Loses to Tigers 65-57

Savannah State won their first
home game of the season when
they defeated Benedict College
of Columbia, S. C, 65-57 at Sa-
vannah State College on Decem-
ber 14.

Cecilio Williams was the "big
gun" for Savannah when he hit
the net for 23 points, which gave
the Tigers a lead of 34-27 at half
time. Other top scorers for the
Tigers were Brock with 17 points,
Wright and Washington with 11
points each.

Smith led Benedict's attack

erties in America.

Message from the President

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, March 9-11, the State-
wide High School Language Arts Festival will be held at Savannah
State College. It will be sponsored by Savannah State College and
the Savannah Morning News and Evening Press, Directed by the
Languages Department of Languages and Literature.

This month the students and faculty of Savannah State College
are observing Religious Emphasis Week. As usual preparations are
made for an extraordinary occasion. Unlike many occasions the
preparations do not call for entirely new procedures. The ob-
servance Is built upon beliefs and customs which have been present
In the individuals for many years. Religious Emphasis Week pro-
vides opportunities for thinking again of the values of religion and
the rededication of ourselves to religion that influences living. It
is hoped that Religious Emphasis Week and what there is left
after it has passed will provide college students with a growing
religion.

To develop the other abilities of the student without the proper
stimulation in the area of religion is to encourage maladjustment
The effects of education when properly balanced with religion that
is enlightened produces effective citizens. All of the problems faced
by our society today can be solved more effectively when religion
and learning emanate from the same individual. Whatever worthy
goal one may set for himself can be richer and more desirable if
it is pursued under the influence of firm religious conviction. It
will bring strength and understanding at all times. In crisis it will
lift one above the animal level to grasp values which are more en-
during and more satisfying.

We welcome Mrs. Donella

We hope both Sorors Stone and
Webb will "live happily ever

It was interesting to note that
Leontyne Price, the star of Puc-

Soror Price's role was a prece-

time a Negro artist has sung the
top role of Puccini's work or op-
posite an all white cast.

The Apes Speak

Brothers of Delta Eta
lapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fra-
ternity presented their Annual
Education for Citizenship Week
Program in Chapel on February
17. Our theme for this program
was "Intelligent Citizenship In-
spires Freedom, Peace and Prog-
ress. Brother Dr. Thomas
Saunders, chairman of the de-
partment of Languages and Lit-
erature, was the guest speaker.
Panel discussions in keeping
with the general theme were
presented at Beach and Wood-
ville High Schools.

Education for Citizenship is
a national observance of Alpha
Phi Alpha and it is designed to
bring out pointers of good citi-
zenshiptrying to show and
teach the members of our race
the significance of education
and citizenship in becoming the
type of person that can success-
fully take their places in our
society.

Y. W. C. A.

The Young Women's Christian
Association of Savannah State
College had as its guest this
month the National Student Sec-
retary of the Southern Region,
Miss Doris V. Wilson. Miss Wil-
son met with the young women
of the dormitory at an informal
"Coke Party" Tuesday evening,
February 1. An all-college
women's meeting was held the
following day at noon. We were
given much information that
was both vital and interesting.
Since we are now affiliated with
the national body, we realize
that we have responsibilities to
both our campus and the nation-
al Y W. C. A. However, these
responsibilities cannot be met
without an active membership.
We are therefore asking that as
many young women as possible
will become members of the "Y."

The Y. W. C. A. celebrates its
100th birthday this year. Watch
current magazines for articles
concerning this celebration. The

February issue of the Journal of
Health and Physical Education,
and the Woman's Home Com-
panion have very interesting ar-
ticles about this world-wide oc-
casion.

This We Believe

Homer Bryson, Jr.

The men of Omega, after a hi-
larious time at their annual
Mardi Gras Ball, have settled
down to some serious thinking.
Oddly enough this was brought
about by their little brothers.

It Is expected that each pledge
club leave something with the
chapter. This year's group pro-
poses to leave a project border-
ing on the intangible rather
than on the intangible, in the
hope that what good men do will
live long after the evil Is in-
terred with their bones.

With this in mind the men of
The Shield, along with their
little brothers, have pledged
themselves to bettering relations
between campus and off-campus
students and between the stu-
de nts in general. For this, we
believe, is the only way to
strengthen our student govern-
ment and give us a student body
with a rejuvenated school spirit.

What a grand time we had!
The Omegas and their guests
had the thrill of their lives as
they danced to the music of "The
Blazers" in Willcox Gymnasium
Saturday night, February 12,
The affair was climaxed with
much gaiety and laughter. What
was the occasion . . .? The
Omega's Annual Mardi Gras Ball.

What in the heck is the
Mambo . . .? Well, we learned
at the Scrollers Mambo Dance.
The Scrollers of Gamma Chi
Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fra-
ternity gave a Mambo dance in
Willcox Gymnasium on the
weekend of the eighth (8feh).
Everybody was doing the Mambo,
Music was furnished by Joe Bris-
tow. A good time was had by all.

The Vibratone Ensemble of
Oakland College was presented
in concert in Meldrim Audito-
rium on January 27. The pro-

joyed by all who attended. The
group is especially noted for
their variety of musical selec-
tions.

For the last five weeks, the students or the foreign languages

What created this revolution-
ary attitude on the part of the
students toward the learning of
a foreign language? What dy-
namic and wonderfully mysteri-
ous force has surreptitiously
wrought this astounding change?
These are probably some of the
questions which are pricking the
minds of the casual observers of
this phenomenal change. The
answer is really simple. One
realized that the voices of two
overloaded teachers were not
enough to create, on the parts
of the students, an earnest de-

fluent command of "Habla usted

Is simple. It affords the student
an opportunity to listen for a

of native speakers by means of
earphone attachments, As many

Sports As I See It

James O'Ne

The Savannah State Tigers
pulled their biggest upset of the
season when they defeated the
highly favored Knoxvllle Col-
lege 77-70 in an overtime game
at Savannah.

The Tigers probably played
their best defensive game of the
year In holding the sharp-shoot-
ing Knoxvllle "5" to 67 points
when the first forty minutes of
the game were over. Before
coming to Savannah, Knoxvllle
had averaged 100.5 points per
game and had played some of
the top Negro teams of the na-
tion. With this record Savan-
nah was expected to be another
easy vletory for the high scoring
boys from Knoxvllle.

Coach Wright used only six
players In this game and each
one was at his best. All the
regular stars hit Into the dou-
ble figures except big "011"
Jackson, who did a magnificent
job with rebounds on both back-
boards. Last year the Tigers
won over Knoxvllle 78-00.

The Tigers have thus far a
15-7 record and hold double
victories over Claffln University,
Albany State, Paine College,
Florida Normal and Fort Valley
State. They have single wins
over North Carolina College and
Knoxvllle. They divided meel
lngs with Bcthumc-Cookman,
Benedict, and Clark College and
dropped decisions to Morris,

South Carolina state and Allen
University. The Savannah Tigers
have lost only one conference
game and have two more games
to play before the S E, A. C.
Tourney In Savannah on Feb-
ruary 25-20.

With this record, the Tigers
will be a strong contender for
an Invitation to the National
Tournament for their second
year in succession.

Religious
Bookshelf

So many students have the
idea that a religious book is one
that they would prefer not read-
ing because it is too difficult for
them to understand. But this
type of reading is not the only
one available in the field of re-
ligion. Religious reading trends
are toward books that deal with
moral and spiritual problems in
Christian living, convey an in-
spirational impulse toward per-
sonal self-adjustment or em-
phasize social or ethical matters.
It is interesting to note the cur-
rent socializing and secularizing
of religious activities in an at-
tempt to strengthen youth in
moral faith and principles of
justice and equality.

Books of general interest:
Dark Glory, by Harry V. Rich-
ardson, attempts to discover the
basic difficulties that have set
present patterns of rural church
life. This work brings out the
institutional problems of the
church, the social and economic
conditions and the Interracial
atmosphere in which the church
must exist and by which it must
be limited.

Lights Along the Shore, by
Fulton Oursler. is a compilation
of this well known author's
shorter works. These short ar-
ticles are both factual and fic-
tional. Among them are included
some most unusual success

The Student Council was for-

for a recital of songs in January.
The program consisted of some
of the famous Negro spirituals:
"Dry Bones," "Steal Away."
classical selections: "Beautiful
Dreamer," "To Be Alone," and
folk songs "MacDonald's Farm,"
"Jim." These songs were sung
in the Ensemble's own arrange-
ment.

The famous Vibratone Ensem-
ble, which was on a two week's
tour, had appeared that week on
five radio programs and two
television networks.

WHAT'S THIS?

For solution see paragraph below

OBVIOUSLY, THE TITLE of the above Droodle is: 47
insectology students enjoying better-tasting Luckies
while studying 3 fireflies. All kinds of students are
bugs about Luckies. Matter of fact, college smokers
prefer Luckies to all other brands and by a wide
margin according to the latest and greatest of all
college surveys. Once again, the No. 1 reason: Luckies
taste better. They taste better, first of all, because
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco
is toasted to taste better. " It's Toasted " the famous
Lucky Strike process tones up Luckies' light, good-
tasting tobacco to make it taste even better . . .
cleaner, fresher, smoother. So, enjoy the better-tasting
cigarette . . . Lucky Strike.

Tigers Roar
New Feature

Nadene Cooper

The Tiger's Roar staff has add-
ed to its publication a new fea-
ture, "A Student of the Month".
This feature was not only added
in an effort to stimulate an in-
terest among the many readers
of the paper, but also to en-
courage and promote the kind
of qualities within students that
are thought to be of prime Im-
portance in the development of
a well-rounded individual.

In selecting the student of the
month, the following qualities
are sought: A friendly attitude
toward all, prejudice toward
none; high moral character; ac-
tive participation in various or-
ganizations; normal intelligence;
average and above scholarship,
and a wholesome outlook on life.
These are considered as the most
essential traits which an indi-
vidual must have in order to
represent a well developed per-
son.

Alpha Nu To Be Host to National ,
Convention of Alpha Kappa Mu

By William Weston

Alpha Nu Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society will serve
as host to the Seventeenth Annual Convention to be held March

Founded by Dr. George W.
Gore, Jr. (now president of Flor-
ida A. and M. University), in No-
vember. 1937, and originally
named the Federation of Scho-
lastic Honor Societies, Alpha
Kappa Mu has grown from an
organization of five loyal honor
societies in Negro Colleges to a
present organization of over fifty
chapters. In 1939 Alpha Kappa
Mu became established as a na-
tional organization. Since 1948
the organization has been listed

in Baird's Manual, the official
Blue Book for American Frater-
nities and Sororities. In Febru-
ary, 1950, the Society was of-
ficially admitted as a general
scholarship organization by the
National Association of Honor
Societies.

The purposes of Alpha Kappa
Mu shall be to promote high
scholarship, to encourage sin-
cere and zealous endeavors in all
fields of knowledge and services;
to cultivate a high order of per-
sonal living and to develop an
appreciation for scholarly work
and endeavor in others.

Barbara V. Brunson is Presi-

Better Citizenship on Our Campus

The role of citizenship on our
campus Is very essential because
it is something that will affect
all of us pro or con. It Is some-
thing that will make our insti-
tution stand out by Indicating
to the world that this Is a col-
lege with people who know their
rights as citizens.

Our Ideas toward anything
should be expressed in the prop-
er manner so that it can re-
flect its true value. We as cit-
izens on our campus should use
the different media for expres-
sion, such as the student news-
paper, the student council, vari-
ous programs and social gather-
ings. The process of careful and
thorough evaluation of a per-
sonal opinion should be consid-
ered the force and the actual
opinion that is presented. Let
us pledge to put into effect bet-
ter citizenship on our campus.

The Periscope

Better Citizenship on Our Col-
lege Campus,

During the period of time that
we are exposed to the vast
amounts of wholesome facilities
on our college campus, we should
stop and realize the fact that
each Individual Is a part of a
whole. Each Individual student
Is expected to develop himself
to his fullest capacities by ac-
cepting the Importance of the
task of citizenship.

In order to Improve In this
area, we as students must drop
our buckets down Into the freely
running streams and draw from
them the Ideas which will con-
stitute Improvement In citizen-
Ship, For Improvement we must
consider the things with which
we arc equipped. We are equipped
with a mind for better citizen-
ship; this mind must be trained
to think of your rights as an In-
dividual an dthc rights of others
as well.

The Price of Glory

Ccclllo Williams

Man Is the most complete class
of animals. One of the basic
differences In man Is the varia-
tion of degrees of ambition. The
facts arc not clear as to what Is
the source of the fantastic drive
known commonly as ambition.

Ambition is evident In the in-
dividual as early as childhood.
The Individual then aspires to be
a baseball player, a teacher, an
acrobat, or "Just like daddy."

By the time he reaches the
adolescent stage the Individual is
curved toward a definite ambi-
tion. A desire to excell In a defi-
nite field Is his main purpose.
He competes against others to
satisfy his ambitious eagerness.

The word competition means
nothing to the average man. To
the ambitious it means a chal-
lenge, a method of classification,
a mode of improvement.

Selfishness is one basis of am-
bition. All individuals possess a
certain degree of egotism. This
quality is acceptable as long as
It Is employed for the advance-
ment of the individual without
endangering the happiness of
others.

Few scientists, artists, poets
and athletes are born geniuses
in their fields. Those so called
"gifted individuals" are not only
of high Intellect but study and
try to accomplish much more
than natural ability could pro-
vide for them.

On the other hand, there are
many who are not the genius
type but, with a mixture of self
confidence, sacrifices, and will-
ingness to work excel in achiev-
ing their goals.

A current example of this is
the achievement of James Dens-
ler a former student of Savan-
nah State College. Jimmy, as his
friends call him, was in my es-
timation, a very good student.
Far from being a genius the
does not profess to be), he was
one of the most studious pupils
I have known. Densler was nev-
er satisfied until he had worked
all the problems assigned to him
and the ones that were not. He
stayed ahead of the teacher in
her assignments because of his
interest in his lessons.

After the accomplishment of
his goal, the individual estab-
lished a quota within himself in
which his production lives with
his ability. If the production
does not qualify to his self-in-
spection, the ambitious individ-
ual tries to obtain and evaluate
the opinion of others regarding
his ability and product. After
weighing the pros and cons of
the arguments, he tries to better
his product by concentrating in
the area of his deficiency or
"weak spot." In the case of an
awkward basketball player, he
would try to develop his muscu-
lar co-ordination by means of

Message from the President

By

Thomas
R. Evans

International News

The voting of the West Ger-
man Bundestag for Germany's
rearmament withlng the Atlantic
Alliance was a decisive advance
toward the long-debated, often
despaired of goal of lining up
the West Germans with the
West. This vote; however, was
not the last word, for the Ger-
man Upper House still has to be
heard from. Both sides in the
cold war, that the west and the
business, had labeled the Ger-
man vote a point of no return
and the communists, in a speech
by Foreign Minister Molotov,
retribution should the decision
go against them. I am of the
same opinion as West Germany's
Chancellor Konrad Adenaur, who
maintains that the rearmament
vote need not prevent the Rus-
sians from negotiating with the
west; but In fact it might even
encourage them to negoclate. I
agree solely with him when he
said "Strength is what the Rus-
sians respect."

Chiang Kai-shek's beleaguered
Nationalists have made three re-
treats in six weeks and are on
the verge of making a fourth.
First, it was Yilrang that fell
in battle, then the Tachens were
given up under the United States
protection and pressure. Third
the Nationalists have evacuated
Nanchl and presently they are
on the verge of evacuating Mat-
sue. How long will the Nation-
alists continue to retreat with
the communists continuing to
press on? This has been the
question foremost in my mind
since the nationalists gave up
the Tachen Islands. Perhaps an
answer was given when Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles,
told Britain's Foreign Minister
Sir Anthony Eden at the con-
ference of Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization in Bangkok, that
the United States has no interest
in Quermoy and Matsu which
would force Nationalist exacua-
tion; but that an attack on For-
mosa would mean war.

France's new premier is a Rad-
ical Socialist whose name is Edar
Faure. Unlike Mendes-France
who talked the languaged of ac-
tion. Using such expressions as
"Original," "doring," the need
for a psychological sock," and
"you must choose," Faure talks
the language of moderation and
gradualist. He speaks of "Carom
shots" and "economic billiards."
"If you can't get over an ob-
stacle, go around it," he likes to
say.

Cynics call Faure "the jug-
gler" and the cainet he presented
wbas a masterpiece. An explana-
tion for this name may be un-
derstood from the following
statement. Premier Faure
pledged his government to carry
through Mendes' proposed home
rule for Tunisia, but appointed
as Minister for Tunisian and
Moroccan Affairs a dissident
Gaulllst who strongly opposes it.
This particular appointment in-
dicated an attempt to strike an
"exact middle" which might in
practice turn out to be a dead
center.

The foreign policy of Faure is
the same as that of Mendes-
France. He pledges quick ratifi-
cation of the Paris accord for
German rearmament, but a new
effort immediately thereafter for
talks with Russia. Domestically,
he avowed Mendes' "psycholog-

It is Interesting to observe the concept which students hold of
a college education. In many instances their concern has been
chiefly centered about education that would ultimately contribute
toward a vocation. This concept grew rapidly under the increasing
industrialization of our society and the growing concept of employ-
ment for everyone. To many, the college education was considered
significant only in terms of jobs or positions which could be secured
at the completion of a curriculum or degree program.

Although many students have discovered that the amount of
time needed to earn a living has been greatly reduced from decade
to decade, they have not recognized the need for training for other
aspects of living. Reference is made here particularly to education
for the use of the lengthening leisure time. Since this period of
time has become a large section of one's life, it now becomes neces-
sary to plan definitely for leisure-time living. Students will need to
learn how to direct their education in this area themselves. The
close relationship of the use of the leisure period to the vacation
and enjoyable living becomes more evident each year. Along with
formal training one should acquire skills and interests in activities
which may not necessarily contribute directly to earning a living.

Hobbies and recreational activities are basic needs of all in-
dividuals. While the student acquires his college education, he ought
to be exploring activities and learning things that will contribute
to the increasing segment of life known as leisure. Every student
should plan in his schedule some time to learn new games, physical
and social, and activities which one would enjoy doing for the sake
of activity. A variety of interests should be cultivated beyond the
level of the average performance. In practically every Instance,
this program can be integrated with the student's program of
studies without limiting one's success in his studies and at very
small or no additional cost. The time to begin such a program is
now. It can be started with a single activity and increased both
in variety and number as the year progresses.

National News

After savage name-calling po-
litical debate, the Democratic
majority of the House of Repre-
sentatives passed and sent to the
Senate a bill to cut income taxes
by $20 per capita.

It is the belief of this reporter
that the bill will probably die in
the Senate. For the Democrates
it might be better political ideas
than motive ! The voters will
know that the Democrats fought
a good fight for lower taxes. If
it shoul pass, the average tax-
payer would take home only a
$1.55 more a week a dribble un-
likely to start a Democratic flood
tide, especially if an increased
federal budget deficit causes a
rise in the cost of living.

The Masonry
Department

By A. C. Carter

Department Chairman

To the layman, masonry with
reference to building construc-
tion is generally conceived as an
undignified vocation or job tha'
can easily be performed by
flunkies. However, it should b<
well understood that the mosi
outstanding journeymen of thi.;
most unlimited vocation posses'
a technical "know how" that is
founded upon an extensive area
of architectural understanding
mathematics and craftsmanship
dating back to the very cradle
of our civilization. Today, more
than 10% of all building con-
struction is masonry, and that
there will inevitably be an in-
creased percentage is logically
unquestionable.

Masonry at Savannah State
College is not only brickmason-
ry as many of us think. Masonry
has never been so limited as that.
From time to time as many other
vocations and professions, it
must be redefined in accordance
with existing trends. At this in-
stitution, masonry consists of
til mixing various types of mor-
tar; (2) brickmasonry; (3) stone-
masonry; )4* concrete masonry;
(5) terrazzo; (6) plastering and
stuccoing; i7) laying glass block,
and (8* lathing. Some of the
most essential related areas in
which training is given, are
architectural drawing, blueprint
reading, masonry mathematics,
excavating, surveying, and speci-
fications. Some carpentry is also
included.

The building of projects rang-
ing from miniature piers, corners
and walls to various types of
buildings^is emphasized. Masonry
repairs on existing structures
are also included. Objectives, in-
formation and procedures enable
the students to lay out and build
the very unlimited and flexible
variety of projects. Such per-
sonality traits as cooperation,
application and industry, neat-
ness and orderliness, reliability.
initiative, aptitude, workmanship
and speed are stressed, observed
and graded.

Occasionally, field trips are
made to points where building
construction is being carried on.
and to plants producing building
materials.

sounds to the strains of God of
Our Fathers, Alpha Gamma's big
four will bid farewell to Savan-

So well have these young men
stayed together during their four

ton, and McCall will soon be
leaving the college community
which they served so well. They
are slate dto do their student-
teaching in Industrial Education
the spring quarter of this year.

\ Night at a Balloon Ballet

By Janet Colvin

On the night of March 4 more
than one hundred Clnderellas
and their handsome Princes
Charming spent a lovely eve-
ning in the land of a "Balloon
Ballet." This affair was the An-
nual Freshman Ball at Willcox
Gymnasium.

Dancing under the balloon
decorated roof to Tiny Austin's
band, an enjoyable time was
had by all. The ladies were
decked in beautiful gowns of all
the colors in the rainbow. Their
escorts were very handsome in
their dark suits and dinner
jackets.

On arriving at the ball the
guests were greeted by the class
advisers, Miss Althea Morton and
Mr. A. E. Peacock. Many other
faculty members attended the
affair.

Just before intermission the
band played a lively march while
Jaunita Gilbert and Oliver Swaby
led a grand march around the
floor.

After the march Misses Julia
Baker and Arlene Anderson
served orange colored punch and
cookies.

At the close of the evening the
band played "Good Night, Sweet-
heart." After the Clnderellas
and Princes Charming danced to
this last number they all de-
parted at the stroke of twelve.

Fas Iiion's

On the Campus

By Janet I). Colvin

Looking across the hallowed
grounds of S.S.C., I see many
attractions in the new fashions.
I see Paris at Savannah State.
The new long rope necklaces,
long waistlines, and bare sandals
continue to be the look for "55.
Many of our young ladles, faculty
and students alike, are truly liv-
ing up to the new look.

I'm sure the fellows will agree
that this "new look" is quite
attractive on the ladies. They
couldn't help but like the Ber-
muda shorts and long socks
which are a part of today's
fashions.

For the coming summer, Paris
designer Dior has suggested
sleeveless dresses with high
necklines. The colors for the
coming season are yellow, deep
rose, pink, avocado green, and
several shades of purple with
white accents assessories. The
favorite fabric will be the per-
manent pleated cotton in pastel
shades.

The new look and new fabric
have added more charm and
glamour to the ladies. This year
more than ever all women are
fashion conscious. We tip our
hats to Mr. Dior and Mr. Deese
of Paris.

My Song!

A Free Verse S. Green

Love is my song; the song I sing;

A song of ecstacy! . . .

The sweetest thing that God has

made
And shall forever be!

Wake up my darling, wake up

I say!
And queen yourself another

king;
For blooming roses lose their

fragrance,
But love is sweeter in the spring!

Let us, then, cherish, and sing,
While college days slowly rein,
That love is sung, with music,

with fun!
Love shall be, must be, sweeter

in the spring!

vannah State's new gymnasium.

The girls had no trouble win-
ning the championship as they
ran over Albany's States girls
59-30 and then won the final
game 37-21 over Florida Normal
to take the title. Most of the
girls' attack was lead by Clarl
Bryant, Rosa Lee Moore and
Gwendolyn Keith. All three were
placed on the first All-Confer-
ence team. Gwendolyn Keith was
further named the most valuable
player of girls tournament.

The Savannah State boys ad-
vanced to the final by running
away with Albany frt-07 and
edged by Claflin University 61-
50 to take the championship.
This was the second straight
year that Savannah eased past
Claflin. They edged Claflin
85-84 in the semi-final and
went on to defeat Morris for
the championship,

Robert Lewis, Noel Wright, and
Otis Brock were named on the
All-Conference team. Brock was
named the tournament most val-
uable palyer. All three of these
players will return next season.
There will be, however, a big
hole created by the absence of
Ceelllo Williams, who has worn
the blue and orange his last
time. Williams is a senior from
Panama and has averaged more
than 20 points per game for the
past three seasons,

Ollbert Jackson, along with
clevon Johnson and Charles
Ashe, will probably replace Wil-
liams in the center spot next
season. Jackson Is a G'5" sopho-
more who has shown great prom-
ise this season. Coach Whlght
will also be counting on Johnson
and Ashe who have both seen
considerable service in the center
position,

Now that basketball Is a thing
of the past, most of the attention
will be focused on the track and
baseball teams. Last year the
Tigers won the S.E.A.C. track
meet and should be better this
year with all of the same boys
back plus a number of freshmen,
who took good In training. The
first meet this year will be March
26 at the Florida A. & M. relays.

The baseball season will open
on April 8 when the Tigers meet
Allen University at Savannah
State's Athletic field. Last year
they played only three games
and looked sharp winning two
of them.

ARE fOU METICULOUS about your choice of cigarettes?
Do you want exactly the right taste? Then take a hint
from the Droodle ^bove, titled: Ash tray belonging to
very tidy Lucky smoker. Luckies taste neat and for
excellent reasons. First of all, Lucky Strike means fine
tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better.

The Bible Says

Bylsalah Mclver
The one origin of man is not only good Bible but It Is a basic
scientific fact. There are no superior bloods and there are no
superior races, However, this Is oik- of the hardest truths for many
Bible believers to accept In America, particularly in the South
where eerl.iiln people follow the pattern of race superiority.

Those who are responsible for 'spreading and keeping alive
prejudice and hatred would have us believe that man was not
created of one blood, They may say that some men should not be
permitted to live here on earth, or if they must dwell here on this
earth they should not be permitted to share and enjoy the same
facilities In society

There are many leaders whd deny the basic truths of the Bible.
The most widely known leader of this type was Adolph Hitler, He
taught the doctrine of superior bloods and superior races. According
in him the Negroes and the Jews were the lowest class of humans
and thai, they should be segregated Into certain sections and
destroyed.

Hitler's principles caused more than twenty million people to
lose I heir lives, but he and his principles were removed from the
tail nl the earth in Germany. Since the things that Hitler stood
for and practiced were so inhuman, millions of courageous fair
thinking people destroyed him and his teachings in order that the
minority as well as the majority may enjoy some of the pursuits of
happiness that are automatically theirs,

Hitler's teachings and practices were branded as Inhuman and
unlawful by every fair thinking individual on the face of the earth
and yet right here in America there Is an organization that teaches
and practices the same tilings that Hitler was destroyed for.

Everyone knows that the Klu Klux Klan denies the truths of
the Bible and teaches the doctrine of hatred and prejudice for the
minority races, especially the Negro

Th Klu Klux Klan operates under the Identical principles that
Hitler taught, if Hitler was destroyed because of his inhuman
teachings and practices, then why are the Klu Klux Klan being
permitted to operate In certain sections of a democratic country
such as ours?

Before any of us can enter into the kingdom of heaven we
must have hearts like little children.

if we wonder what the heart of a child is like we can watch
their actions in every day activities and come to an answer. Little
children play in harmony together unaware of the fact certain
people have different creeds or that their skins are of a different
color. They continue to play In harmony until they are indoctri-
nated by their parents, who are in many Instances considered good
Christians by the society in which they live. Small children play
together In harmony because they are born without any knowledge
of hatred, skin colors or differences in creeds, bloods or races.

Can anything be plainer, when the Bible says that we cannot
gain entrance into heaven until we become as little children?
Little children are without hate, malice or prejudice for their con-
temporaries and they remain this way until they are indoctrinated
by their supposedly Christian parents.

Those of us who aren't being taught that all men are of the
same blood are receiving false teachings. Until our thoughts and
actions become as those of a little child, we cannot enter the
kingdom of heaven so says the Bible.

Wv \ iews on Planned Parenthood

By Johnny Gilbert, Jr.

The number of births in a family should be controlled accord-
ing to the amount of wealth that the family possesses. A rich
or semi-rich family can better support a large group of children
than a poor family can.

Birth control is very important in our society because we find
that too many children are being born to parents who are not
capable of giving them the right support. Among the rich class
of people the birth rates are not as high as they are in the poor
class. My explanation of such would be that the rich class has
realized the expense of a large family, and the poor class has still
got that conclusion to reach.

If our birth rates in America must be high, I think they should
occur among the rich and semi-rich class of people so the children
would be supported well. The poor class of people should have small
families, because of little wealth they are not able to support large
families.

By

Three outstanding events spot-
light the international news of
this Issue.

The resignation of Sir Winston
Churchill as Prime Minister of
Great Britain, who has been
called the greatest man the 20th
century has yet produced, brings
to a close an era enriched with
great achievement and enlivened
with brlllance and wit. The only
living member of the famous tri-
angle during World War II.
(Roosevelt, Churchill and Stal-
in) will be long remembered for
his attack against any offender
of freedom.

But his restless genius and
hunger for the limelight makes
it fairly safe to predict he has
not made his final bow to his
vast world audience.

The Asian-African conference
will marke the first time that
Asian and African nations have
got together without the partici-
pation of any western powers.
This conference will represent
more than half the population
of the globe, and in scope and
importance will rank second in
world affairs only to a meeting
of the General Assembly of the
United Nations.

It is the belief of this reporter
that rivalries, cross-currents and
animosities are bound to arise
at this conference, but there is
one feeling that will be shared
by all African-A.iian conference
marks a manifestation and up-
surge on the part of the peoples
and nations who, with some ex-
ceptions, have in modern times
played roles subordinate to the
peoples and nations of the west.
The Soviet Union has an-
nounced the arrangement of a
treaty with Austria. In the west
this announcement developed
cautioned optimism. The Aus-
trian-Russian agreement seemed
to enhance the prospect for a
Big Four Conference on Europe
and to provide a concrete test
of the Russians' intention to
deal in good faith. At the same
time there has been a feeling
that Austria was being used as
a Russian pawn in a gambit for
the greater prize of Germany.
I am inclined to believe in the
second view. The Russians' real
aim is to thwart the Western
venture for armament of West
Germany under the North At-
lantic Treaty Organization. They
may be preparing to tempt the
Germans with the thought "You
too can be unified and sovereign
if you stay neutral." The temp-
tation to the Germans is likely
to be strong, and the test of
western diplomacy formidable.

Speaking of Books

By Dorothy Davis

These four books have been
selected as the most popular of
the month and are now in our
library.

To all persons who are inter-
ested in improving their reading
ability the library has recently
received Rudalf Flesch's newest
book. Why Johnny Can't Read
and What You Can Do About It.

Strange as it may seem it is
an angry book by an aroused
parent telling how the American
system of teaching children has
changed since 1925. Why John-
ny Can't Read contains complete
material and instructions for
teaching children to read by the
old standard methods.

The biography Gertrude Law-
rence As Mrs. A written by Rich-
ard Staddard Aldrich is an inti-
mate biography of the great star,

Veterans Initiate
Dining Hall Project

There has always been an
argument as to who would be
served first in the dining hall;
but there was nerer an answer.
Most of the students crowded
to the front of the line and
struggled to get ahead of the
next person. Now, of course, it
will be different because the
Veterans' Club has started a pro-
ject that is designed to improve
the atmosphere In the dining
hall during regular meals.

To improve the atmosphere,
the club will place monitors in
the dining hall to prevent cut-
ting the line and entering side
doors. This will enable everyone
to have a fair chance of first
come, first served.

The president of the Veterans'
Club, Mr. James Thomas, has
appointed the following persons
to work in helping put this pro-
ject through successfully: Mrs.
Delores Atterbury. Commodore
Conyers, James Cooper, Reubin
Cooper, Alexander Gardner. Jr.,
and Charles Pugh.

This is one of the social edu-
cation projects that has the full
support and approval of the of-
fice of the director of student
personnel.

rest.

stretch of its preparation for its

fourth annual variety show. The

young ladies competing for the
title of "Miss Kappa" show plen-
ty of zeal and seem determined
to win. The program promises to
be fruitful in every respect. Some
of the best talent of this locale

Erunswick, Georgia In order to
allow another student to remain

Choral Society
Goes on Tour

By Ethel L. Mack

This is "tour season" for the
Choral Society. All of you have
wondered no doubt, and some of
you have asked about the trips
that we're making. To ease that
wonder here is a synopsis of
what we've been doing.

On March 7, we sang at the
George Washing School in Syl-
vania, Georgia.

After the concert in Sylvania,
the principal of the school, Mr.
Joseph Lacy, took us on a tour
of the beautiful and spacious
campus.

It should be mentioned that
after many years of endur-
ing with an ill-equipped school,
Sylvania will soon be able to
cpen her doors to a new school,
which is estimated to cost a little
over a million dollars.

On March 31, at 8 p.m., the
chorus sang at the evening ses-
sion of the Alpha Kappa Mu
National Convention. The selec-
tions rendered were "Go Down
Moses", and "Ride the Chariot".
Alexander Luten was the tenor
soloist.

On Friday morning. April 1.
the Choral Society again ap-
peared for the Alpha Kappa Mu
Convention. They sang the
"Italian Street Song", with Miss
Lula Hadley. a freshman from
Thomasville. Georgia, as soprano
soloist. So well rendered wns
this selection that it rated an
encore.

On April 5, we gave an after-
noon concert in Dublin. Georgia.
An evening concert was given on
the same date in Lyons. Georgia.

Wednesday evening, April 6,
we give a concert in Statesboro.
Georgia.

April 8 i Good Friday i . the
Choral Society appeared at St.
Matthews Episcopal Church in
Savannah. Georgia, singing "The
Seven Last Words of Christ".
This program was given at eight
o'clock in the evening.

On Palm Sunday the Choral
Society presented "Seven Last
Words of Christ", On that Sun-
day, this cantata was recorded
by WJIV, and selected as one of
the programs to be heard on
Easter Sunday.

Our soloists for that Sunday
were Miss Lula Hadley, Earnest
Greene, and Robert C. Long. Sr.
Because of a cold Mr. Joseph
Brown was unable to sing the
tenor solos, but we were more
than grateful to Mr. Long I'm
taking his place on such short
notice.

Now that you know the places
we went, perhaps you would like
to hear of some of our rendi-
tions.

Usually our first three num-
bers were classics. Some of the
classics that we sang were "God
Be in My Head" by Grant-
Schaefer, "Now Let Every Tongue
Adore Thee" by Bach, "Lacry-
mosa", from the famous "Re-
qieum by Mozart.

And a long and difficult piece
from the Romantic period, "How
Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place"
from Brahm's "A German Re-
quieum".

The ensemble also rendered
numbers on the tour. Some of
songs they sang were "Bless
Thou the Lord, O My Soul" by
Ippolitof Ivanof and "Rockin'
Jerusalem" by Work.

Usually after the esemble per-
formed, the full chorus rendered
such songs as "Dance A Ca-
chueha" from the operetta, "The
Gondoliers" by Sullivan. From
the Operetta "Naughty Mariet-
ta", by Victor Herbert, or the
"Italian Street Song".

Our programs were climaxed
by three afro- American Folk
Songs. Some of these folk songs
were: "Go Down Moses", ar-
ranged by Dr. C. A. Braithwalte.
"There Is a Balm in Gilead", al-
so arranged by Dr. Braithwaitc
and "Rice the Chariot", arranged
by Smith.

After each of the Concerts, we
ended with our Alma Mater, "We
Hail Thee S.S.C."

On our final three concerts,
three words from the "Seven
Last Words of Christ" were add-
ed to the program to emphasize
Holy Week. These words were
received in silent meditation
at all of our final performances.
Whenever the Choral Society
leave the campus, the Alma
Mater is sung. This is a remind-
er that when they are away,
they proudly represent Savan-
nah State College and not the
Choral Society.

Choral Society in
Easter Program

The Savannah State College
Choral Society presented Theo-
dore Dubois' "The Seven Last
Words of Christ" on Sunday,
April 3. 1955 in Meldrim Audi-
torium.

Dr Coleridge A. Braithwaite
conducted the performance, and
Miss Evelyn V. Grant, a member
of Fine Arts Department, as-
sisted at the organ.

Soloists included Miss Lula
Hadley. Soprano, freshman from

Thomasville Georgia; Mr. Joseph
Brown. Tenor, Sophomore from
Columbus, Georgia; and Mr. Er-
nest Greene. Baritone, from Sa-
vannah, Georgia.

The program was opened to
the public without charge. The
concert was enjoyed by everyone
who attended

"A CHILD'S CROWN"

'Tis oft told in the villages
That a small Boy just a Child
Once left his home to wander far
O'er fields and forest wild.

'Tis oft told in the city squares
How He tamed the savage beasts.
To hear His voice, to be near

Him.
They came from West and East.

'Tis oft told in the royal courts
That one day came a storm.
The rain fell and the wind blew

hard;
The Child's love stoll glowed

warm.

Tis oft told on the open seas
That He returned whence He was

born.
Among His treasures was a

crown
It was a Crown of Thorns.

Editor-in-chief Graduates

In .September 1051 Mr. Clarence Lofton a graduate of Lee Street
High Kclmul, Blackshear, entered Savannah State to study In the
field or Industrial Education.

Alter adjusting himself to the college environment very rapidly
and showing the ability to become a leader and to undertake re-
sponsibilities that required both skill and talent, he became very
active In many organizations on and off the campus. During his
first year here at Savannah State he participated In the Glee Club,
the Camera Club, the Y.M.C.A. and he served as editor of the stu-
dent newspaper and the college yearbook.

During his junior year he became editor-in-chief of the Tiger's
Roar and was elected president of the College Y.M.C.A. He is a
member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity for which he has held
positions as neophyte commander and keeper of finance, he has
further served as a member of the Alpha Kappa Mu tutorial group,
parliamentarian for the Y.M.C.A., and a member of the varsity
basketball team.

These are but few of the many organizations In which Mr. Lof-
ton participated. He has made a contribution to almost every organ-
ization on the campus In which he was eligible to participate.

For his diligence in work, faithfulness In performance of duties,
and his keen responsiveness to the needs and interest of others, he
was named one of the men of the year for 1955.

Mr. Lofton has been a hard and faithful worker ever since he
enrolled at Savannah State College. If he keeps up the good work
iltrt he graduates In June, there will be nothing to keep him from
reaching the top of the ladder of success.

lliis I Believe

By Louis Hill 1'ratt, '58
I believe that the sun Is the
center of our solar system, and
that our earth revolves around
it, I believe, too, that we, as
individuals have no control over
this phenomenal occurrence. We
cannot bring rain, or light from
darkness, nor darkness from
light. We have no control over
the seasons or the years. This
power is of a being not of this
world.

Furthermore, I believe that
what a man is, or what he be-
comes depends largely upon the
utilization of his opportunities.
I believe that a will to succeed
can overcome all obstacles which
might block the way. There-
fore, a man Is indebted to God
for his success, and he is en-
tirely at fault if he fails.

The human body is a very
complex organism. Every bone
is a masterpiece in architecture,
and every gland is a matchless
chemical plant. The human
heart is a pump, smaller and
more powerful than any man
has ever constructed. Aside from
this, the human body functions
to a precise degree of accuracy,
with all of its parts coordinat-
ing. This is supreme perfection.
I believe, too, that the earth
is a place created by an Al-
mgihty Being for us to make
preparations for a life hereafter.
As I look at the trees swaying
in the wind, the birds flying in
the air, and the transition of
darkness into light, I realize
that there must be a power
greater than all on earth.

A Student's Prayer

Author Unknown
Father God . . . May the
fluorescent lamp be my burn-
ing candle, the desk my altar.

May these days as a student
become a stewardship of myself.
May I give myself to the busi-
ness of scholarship, becoming a
careful workman for Thee.

May college not become a mere
preparation for life and a voca-
tion, but life and vocation it-
self, meaningful and whole.

Grant that I may see as sacri-
fical, my study, not for my own
glory, but to Thy greater glory.
I would learn the essential
things well, I would desire to
be of real service to the world,
to see fame with cool eyes, and
failure without fear of reputa-
tion.

Recreate me sensitive to the
great problems of mankind, to
know great minds and invoke
great principles.

Lead me to treat tasks with
the courage to put away childish
things and be filled with great
thoughts.

May the awareness of debt to
parents, friends, and society, for
the cost of education, make a
humble human of me.

Encourage and refresh me
when I come to think of my
work as boresome, drawn out
and unproductive.

Strengthen me, Father, as a
faithful student of Thy word,
to answer Thee, for Thou hast
called me into Thy service as
a learner.

Amen

Message from the President

This is perhaps the last
column by this reporter,
however, I wish to say that
I have enjoyed every bit of
three years that I have
worked on the Tiger's Roar
staff, and that I have gained
a rich experience that can-
not he equaled by any
amount of money.

It is the hope of this re-
porter that this column will
be continued.

A meeting "at the summltt"
consisting of the Big Four could
possibly mean an end to the hot
war In Asia and the cold war
in Europe. President Eisenhower
has agreed to meet with the
heads of state of the Soviet
Union, Britain, and France in
the near future and plan ways
to ease world tension. This
meeting of the leaders of these
four nations will probably pave
the way for a meeting of the Big
Four foreign ministers of these
same nations. The discussion
or talks in the meeting "at the
summit" will probably be global
in nature, which would include
the explosive situation in the
Far East, and in the most gen-
eralized form. The foreign min-
isters then would deal in detail
with such specific issues as Ger-
man reunification, a European-
wide security system and dis-
arrangement.

I am of the opinion of Presi-
dent Eisenhower that the United
States in agreeing to Big Four
talks, "at the summit," will not
sacrifice Its own strength of po-
sition, on major world issues. I
also believe that if the Soviet
Union wants peace this meet-
ing will serve as the acid test
ot their intentions.

West Germany has become the
15th member of the North At-
lantic Treaty Organization. This
marked a major defeat for the
Soviet foreign policy and it also
climaxed a six-year effort to
enroll the Germans in the com-
munity of free peoples. Sovereign
West Germany bolstered the
North Atlantic Alliance with 50
million people and a commit-
ment to be a reliable partner
striving for peace and freedom.

West Germany plans to field
armed forces of 500.000 men
trained for atomic war. The
chief power will rest in an army
of 12 divisions, linked with the
forces of six other NATO mem-
bers through the Western Euro-
pean union. The Germans are
expected to be ready for com-
bat by 1959.

West Germany's admission to
NATO has been assailed by Brit-
ish Foreign Secretary, Harold
MacMillan. He said the shiel 1
against aggression that NATO
provides in being reinforced with
the practical strength of the
German people, "With the mu-
tual confidence and cooperation
that membership of this great
alliance implies, we are closing
a page of history with satisfac-
tion," he said. "We begin a new
one with hope."

Konrad Adenauer, Chancellor
of West Germany, had much to
say on West Germany admission
into NATO. Adenauer declared
that Germans "wish to employ
all our efforts for the safeguard-
ing of freedom and human dig-
nity." . . .

It was a great event for the
79-year-old German leader, per-
haps the crowning achievement
of his career. He has worked
for years to ally the Germans

It is interesting to note how
much individuals, groups, and
nations are concerned over the
way they look to others. This
type of concern is not limited
to classes or individuals or to
the era or time. Even those
who live in the present are won-
dering what the next generation
will think of them when they
have taken the places they hold.
That same Idea, I am sure, is
present here at Savannah State
College. It is not often, however,
that individuals are fortunate
enough to get objective views
of the way they appear to others.

During the past four months
the college has been fortunate
to have four important outside
groups come to the college
three groups came for the ex-
press purpose of seeing the col-
lege as it is. The other group
came as invited guests for a spe-
cial convention. Each of these
groups expressed itself on the
appearance of the college in
definite statements. They talked
about the students of the col-
lege. It has been very reveal-
ing to see how much agreement
exists in th rports which were
made by the groups which came
from entirely different areas and
for very different purposes. The
Committee of the Southern As-
sociation of Colleges and Sec-
ondary Schools, made up of in-
dividuals from outside of Geor-
gia; the Alpha Kappa Mu Na-
tional Honor Society, composed
of representatives from colleges

from sixteen states; the special
committee appointed by the
Board of Regents to study the
three colleges for Negroes, com-
posed of out-of-state and state
educators, and the Committee of
the State Legislature, composed
of members of that body, have
indicated that they were pleased
to observe the high morale and
good atmosphere which exist at
Savannah State College.

To appear well-adj usted, to
be considerate of others, to de-
sire to be helpful, to participate
freely in the life of the institu-
tion and community, and to be
worthy of much more than we
now have, provide a background
for a feeling that we are on our
way to better things at Savan-
nah State College. The reports.
letters, comments, and verbal
statements commending the stu-
dents of this institution should
serve as stimuli for greater re-
finement and extension of those
virtues. To know that one has
attained some degree of success
should be important in planning
for continued growth and de-
velopment. Just as these special
groups have seen us, so have,
and will hundreds of others. The
student body, faculty, and others
who have participated in the
production of the present picture
of Savannah State College are
to be commended for their in-
dividual and group contribu-
tions. It is my desire that each
month will find us improving
our patterns of behavior which
appear full of promise and hope

Speaking of Books

By Dorothy Davis

Two very interesting books
have been chosen for this month.
They are Sincerely, Willis Wayde
and A View from Pompey's Head.

Sincerely, Willis Wayde by
John P. Marquand, is a very
striking novel showing the deep
devotion and loyalty to a dear
family.

The author, John P. Marquand.
has never written with greater
understanding or more penetrat-
ing insight into the cross-cur-
rents of American life than in
this novel. Sincerely, Willis
Wayde is both entertaining and
an experience in living.

The View from Pompey's Head
by Hamilton Basso is also very
interesting. It encompasses a
sweep of contemporary society
that ranges from a world of law
to a detailed examination of life
in a small Southern city.

with the West and wipe out the
heritage of Nazism.

"The German people," he said,
"have paid harshly for the hor-
rors which were committed in
their name by blind and evil
leadership. These sufferings
have transformed and purified
the German nation. Today
everywhere in Germany peace
and freedom are felt to be the
greatest treasures, as was the
case in the best periods of her,
history."

to make Powell Laboratory

the future.

Powell Laboratory News

The last two quarters have
been busy ones for our school.
We have engaged in many acti-
vities in and out of the school.

We participated in the Jab-
berwock presented by the Delta-
Sigma-Theta Sorority and won
second place. The theme was,
"Global Cruise" and we had a
scene where each continent was
represented and people were able
to go around the world with us
by listening to music represent-
ing each continent and seeing
children costumed according to
the continent that they repre-
sented.

We were on the Kappa Talent
Show and won second place.

A better breakfast campaign
has been emphasized and the
faculty and student body helped
to make the campaign a suc-
cessful one. Each classroom had
a bulletin board with informa-
tive, as well as interesting ma-
terial on a good breakfast and
what it means to growing boys
and girls. We served breakfast
in class for two days and a fjlm
en nutrition.

During the Girl Scout's birth-
day celebration we won a prize
for our hallway disolay demot-
ing the activities of scouting.

We participated in the Spring
Festival and represented Ireland
and five children did a dance
called "The Irish Lilt."

We have had two radio pro-
grams and one television show.

Kappa Alpha Psi

The brothers of Gamma Chi
chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fra-
ternity are taking a breath after
a crusade of activities.

First of all we wish to take
this opportunity to welcome the
neophyte brothers into the clan.
Brothers Bennie D. Cooley, Earl
Green, William Ladson and Har-
ry Powell are the most recent
additions to the Gamma Chi
roster.

Yes, we did it on the Friday
night of April 22, the fourth an-
nual variety show was presented
in Meldrim Auditorium featur-
ing brother Arvella Farmer as
master of ceremonies. The show
was a huge success and enter-
tained a near-capacity crowd.
Miss Juanita Grayson was
crowned "Miss Kappa" on that
evening. Miss Grayson's efforts
resulted into achieving the hon-
or of being hailed the Kappa
sweetheart. Compliments are
very much in order to this young
lady.

A reception was given in the
College Center immediately fol-
lowing the show. The contes-
tants were received here and en-
tertained in good ole Kappa
fashion. Brother Farmer is to
be complimented for doing a
wonderful job of directing these
two programs simultaneously.

As much as we regret, some
of the brothers could not attend
the variety show for they had
been assigned to the decorating
committee for the annual Black
and White Ball. Brother James
Collier is responsible for the suc-
cess of this event. The entire
plan of decoration was his own.
By eleven o'clock the variety
show was history and all the
brothers made quick changes
and geared all operations in this
direction. That is how we did
it.

Brother James O. Thomas suc-
ceeds himself as Polemarch of
.Gamma Chi Chapter for the en-
suing school year. The- pledg-
ees have been placeed in the
hands of a new brother. Earl
Green.

Brothers Graham, Lurry and

Jackson will depart from us by

way of graduation in June. We

wish them the best of success.

Sports As
I See It

By .lames I,. O'Neill
A retrospective glance at the
sports activities at Savannah
State during the past season re-
veals a good sports year.

The only dark picture In the
sports activities was football.
The Tigers won one while drop-
ping six. However, this wasn't
bad in comparison to last year
when they lost all their games
and had over 400 points scored
on them while they scored only
6 points. This year Savannah
won one game and scored on
everybody they played except
Alabama State, and they held
their opponents to 228 points.
The Tigers also placed three men
on the All Conference team.'

In basketball, for which Sa-
vannah is noted, the Tigers en-
joyed another good season. They
won 23 games and lost 7 during
the year. They won the con-
ference championship, the con-
ference tournament champion-
ship and the Georgia Inter-Col-
legiate Tournament. Savannah
State girls won the conference
and tournament championships.
Three of the Savannah boys
were placed on the All Confer-
ence team, while Otis Brock of
Savannah was named the tour-
nament's most valuable player.
Gwendoly Keith of Savannah
was named the most valuable
girl player of the tournament
and was placed on the All Con-
ference team along with two of
her teammates.

For the second year in suc-
cession, Savannah has won the
conference track meet. This year
the Tigers picked up 53 points
to win the meet. Paine College
of Augusta was second with 41
points.

the shot putt, the javelin throw,
and in volleyball. His third place
medal was given for the mile
run.

Richard Washington, a junior
majoring in social science and
a member of the basketball and
baseball teams proved that he
po isesses outstanding abilities in
area;; other than baseball and
basketball. He won three first
place medals, two second place
medals and one third place
medal.

The freshmen and seniors won
few medals but they fought
grueling battles in the athletic
events in which they partici-
pated. Most of the seniors will
be gone for the next festival
but the freshmen, who hope to
be sophomores next term ar de-
termined to take most of the
first place medals.

Too (Many Lo;ilns

ltv Isaiah Mclver

In the past thirty years, Amer-
ican scientists have made gigan-
tic studies In almost every area
In which they have undertaken.
They have made bombs so pow-
erful that they can destroy cn-
tlre cities with one blast, and
thoy have built planes that have
broken the sound barriers. Yet,
in spite of these studies that
have been made In science, the
majority of the Americans are
still willing to let the other fel-
low do all of the fighting for
the rights and freedoms which
they enjoy.

If the scientist can toil untir-
ingly to split the atom, surely
we, as American citizens, can
expend some effort to fight for
the things that are more pre-
cious than inventions. It is true
that we arc willing to accept
the benefits of our way of life,
but we are seldom found among
those who are fighting for Its
preservation.

There Is also another group
who won't fight for our way of
life. These are the people who
do not believe In democracy.
They would find it equally easy
to live under a dictatorship, pro-
vided they were among the fa-
vored. Such concepts as the
rights of others, live and let
live, and free speech are foreign
to their thinking and represent
weakness. In their minds these
are many of the evils which be-
set American life. However, we
are not addressing ourselves to
these people. We know that they
won't fight for democracy.

The people to whom we refer
really believe In democracy.
They believe In our way of life,
They are decent, just people.
In their private lives, they prac-
tice justice, fair play, equality
and give the other fellow all of
the rights that they ask for
themselves. They are intelligent
and well-read. They "know the
score", and they are fully aware
of what is happening. They
know the significance of men
being fired without charges.
These people know history. They
value such tilings as freedom of
speech, the right to face their
accusers, the right of freedom to
believe in whatever religion they
choose, or to believe in none,
or the right to hold whatever po-
litical or other opinions their
conscience dictates. They know
that all of these things are rela-
tively new. and that these things
have not been enjoyed by man-
kind for scarcely more than 300
years. They know also that they
have been tried before and have
been destroyed, and that thous-
ands of years passed before they
were again enjoyed by mankind

Yet. these good people have
succeeded In finding reasons,
satisfactory to themselves at
least, for avoiding any clash with
those persons or Institutions re-
sponsible for the violation and
threatened destruction of our
most basic freedoms and rights.
They say that they have been
"minding their own business"
and "keeping out of trouble". If
you ask them to support some
Individual or group who Is fight-
ing they reply, "I can't afford
to get mixed up In that. I've got
to think of my work. Everything
that I have been able to accom-
plish during the past ten years
might be destroyed." Do these
people know that what they are
trying to save will be swept
down the road with all of the
other good things of our living
unless we can hold on to the
structure of freedom in which
our life has flowered? They
know that, for as we have ob-
served, these people are well-
read and "know the score," You
find them in most any church,
any school, any office, or organ-
ization. The truth is that they
silence their conscience by tell-
ing themselves that if they get
involved, they would probably
end up by losing their jobs, or
office, or pulpit, as the case may
be. and then, they certainly
could not do any fighting. This
is of course a "dodge." and most
of us know it when they offer it
as an excuse.

The results are that the fate
of these, our most, precious
rights, must stand or fall by the
efforts of a small handful of
fighters who have the courage
and the intelligence to stand up
and fight. These few, It may be
said, have figured the percent-
age of what really counts and
are playing for that which
counts. If history acts the way
Arnold Toynbee says it does,
then we may be sure that when
the history of the current years
comes to be written, it will re-
cord as one of the most import-
ant struggles whether freedom
as we have come to enjoy it. was
lost in this atomic age, or sur-
vived.

We believe since mankind has
tasted freedom, he will never
give it up. However, in all hon-
esty, it must be said that it is
only the few who have, up to
now, stood up and said. "We will
never give it up". It must in all
candor be said that the fight for
the rights of the individual, the
rights of a free science, of free
schools and institutions of learn-
ing, of beliefs, religions, political,
have been carried on by the few
while the vast army of decent,
freedom - loving citizens have
stood In the wings, giving them-

The

During October the United Na-
tions began its eleventh year of
operation. Since Its beginning at
San Francisco in 1945, the U. N.
has worked for its alms with
constructive results, despite
many set-backs and disappoint-
ments. The U. N. has brought
about peace in Palestine, Indo-
china and even Korea, the only
place where troops of the mem-
ber nations were used to sup-
press enemy forces. It has pro-
vided food, clothing and medical
aid through the specialized
agencies for underprivileged peo-
ples.

At the tenth annual meeting
In Manhattan, the General As-
sembly elected Chile's Jose Maza
as Its president by unanimous
vote. Maza served as a U. N. par-
liamentarian for ten years. The
Assembly voted for the sixth
year against considering Red
China for membership. It did,
however, adopt President Eisen-
hower's Atoms For Peace Pro-
gram (proposed in 1953) which
was endorsed by the Russians at
the Summit meeting.

After six years on the island
of Formosa, the Nationalists un-
der the leadership of Chiang
Kai-Shek are at the stage of
counter-attacking the Commu-
nist-held Chian mainland.

The Nationalist leader who be-
came president in 1943 following
the death of Lin Len is waiting
for a revolution on the mainland
before attacking. It was report-
ed that millions of Chinese who
no longer bear the sufferings of
the Communists are rising
against their persecutor.

Contradictory to the Geneva
spirit, the Communist has agreed
to provide Egypt with war ma-
terials for protection against her
enemy, the neighboring state of
Israel,

Gamal Aldel Nasser, premier of
Egypt, announced that the deci-
sion to barter with Czechoslo-
vakia was due to the fact that
all Western nations offered Eg-
ypt arms after signing a mutual
security pact while the satellite
nation is supposedly only inter-
ested in securing trade.

To continue this vicious circle.
Israel has appealed to the United
States for armaments and a se-
curity guarantee. Abba Eben,
the Israeli ambassador said no
direct requests have been made
at this time, but added that with
the prospect of Egypt getting
arms from Czechoslovakia "we
think there is an obligation upon
the Western powers not to let
the balance change any further
against Israel,"

Earlier Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles proposed a guaran-
tee to maintain the Israel bor-
der against aggression. This
statement has not been clarified.
Could this be a proposal to send
American troops to defend the
borders of Israel?

selves plausible excuses for keep-
ing out of it.

Maybe it has never been this.
However, if that is true, it does
not make less disappointing the
silence and withdrawal of so
many gifted and fine people
from this, the one struggle of our
time which counts most in the
future welfare of this nation,
and indeed of the world.

Message from the President

At the beginning of each academic year students in our colleges
have a fresh opportunity to plan and reorganize their educational
programs. For the returning students it is a question of developing
plans already underway or changing plans in terms of new informa-
tion or insight. For freshman students the time is opportune to con-
sider why one pursues a specific program of study. In both instances
the students are required to think through and to evaluate the cur-
ricular activities selected to prepare them for their careers. To go
through such a process students need to know many things about
themselves and about the occupations which they expect to secure.
The rate of change and the supply and demand in occupations must
be given major consideration at all times. Since individuals are not
innately destined to follow definite occupations and since one indi-
vidual may be successful in any one of several jobs or positions, one
should select a field in which there would be demand for his services
as well as satisfaction for his living.

{/In our college for the past sixty years, students have prepared,
in the main, for positions as teachers. Many of the graduates and
former students have rendered distinguished services in their com-
munities as teachers on the elementary and secondary levels, home
demonstration agents, farm demonstration agents, 4-H club work-
ers, teachers of industrial arts, principals, supervisors, and social
workers. In smaller numbers the graduates of this institution have
gone into medicine, law, dentistry, ministry, business, nursing, and
industry. The changes in our economy over the past sixty years
have had, until recently, little effect on the proportion of the stu-
dents preparing for the field of teaching. Information and facts
indicate that teachers are being trained in excess of the demand
in our state. It is time for a shift to other areas where the services
of trained young men and women are needed. While ranks of the
teaching profession will continue to be changed by additions and re-
placements, there will be fewer places open each year. Students
hoping to find gainful employment and to receive adequate compen-
sation for their services will need to enter in larger numbers in-
dustry, medicine, law. business, social work, and government service
Students entering college in the year 1955 will need to consider what
the outlook for employment and services wiJI be in 1958, 1960. 1970
and 1980. While there may be many factors that are not definite
at this time, it Is now clear that new fields must be cultivated. In
the meantime, study and consideration must be given to the selec-
tion of a field of study which will lead to available employment and
well-adjusted living.

W. K. Payne. President

Why Are You Here?

By Louis Hill Pratt, '58

It is quite likely that my topic
has motivated many answers,
but just why are you here? You
may say "I came here as a step
to a medical career, or that you
plan to become a skillful trades-
man, or perhaps a teacher.

We hope that whatever your
goal may be, your purpose here
is not merely to secure a bache-
lor's degree. Surely your goal
will not be reached if you only
carry away a bachelor's certifi-
cate a mere piece of "paper".
This "paper" takes on a mean-
ing only when you possess the
necessary education to stand be-
hind it; otherwise, it is worth-
less.

Your prime purpose here
should be to better yourself spir-
itually, morally and intellectual-
ly Our resourceful faculty and
staff and our educational facili-
ties are dedicated to this end.
We invite you to take advantage
of every possible educational op-
portunity. We can only invite
you you must make the deci-
sion. Will you be one to utilize
our modern facilities to the ut-
most, or will you leave, not hav-
ing benefitted from your exper-
iences here?

Besides coming here in an ef-
fort toward self - improvement.
you have come in a quest for

success. Success means many
different things to many differ-
ent people. Just what does it
mean to you? Does it mean to
merely survive, or does it mean
to make a contribution to our
democratic society? We should
all be inspired by Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow's immortal
lines:

Lives of great men all remind us.
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.

Happiness is the crowning
glory of your purpose here. In
order to be happy and success-
ful, it is necessary to develop a
set of sound moral and ethical
values. One of man's foremost
problems is yours also that of
distinguishing between those
things which are worthwhile and
those which are useless.

To you. the class of '59, we
sincerely wish a happy and suc-
cessful college career!

Hello, and welcome to the
campus of S.S.C. Since the
weather is running the gamut, it
is very hard to dress to the sea-
son but seemingly the young la-
dies and young men are dashing
out in their cool plaids, stripes
and a series of other new fall
fads.

The fall's top colors on the
campus this year are avocado
green, brown and charcoal gray.

The latest thing for the young
men and young ladies is the
striped blouse and shirt. This
new blouse sensation is one that
the petite or small girl won't shy
away from. The latest fad for
the young men is suspenders. By
the way young ladies, your ward-
robe isn't complete without a
pair of those versatile rabbit-ear
shoes. They come in a variety
of colors to match your ward-
robe See you next issue. Bye
now.

\ Hint

To Freshmen

By Gwendolyn Proctor

Hi newcomers. Are you getting
hep to the happenings at S.S.C?
Don't feel strange. Make your-
selves at home. We, the students
ind faculty of Savannah State
College, consider ourselves as one
big happy family, and we are
;lad that you chose to become a
part of us.

I am sure that by now you

!ook around you. What do you
see? Have you observed the moss
lianging from the trees which
helps to beautify our campus?
Have you become familiar with
the buildings that represent
iiigher goals for each of us?
Have you observed the happiness
on the faces of the students as
they sing their Alma Mater? If
you haven't noticed these things
yet, don't forget to notice them
it your earliest convenience.
These are the things that we
treasure most and we hope that
in time you too will learn to do
so. Always try to remember the
ncouraging words in your Alma

stitute of New York to be The
American Tobacco Company rep-
resentative on the campus.
Prince F. Wynn has been select-
ed by The R. J. Reynolds Tobac-

representative.

As campus representatives
they will be presenting members
of the student body with sample
packs of Lucky Strike, Pall Mall,
Camel, Filter tip King Size Win-
ston, and Filter Tip Tareyton
cigarettes throughout the year
to acquaint the students with
the qualities of the products of
these two companies.

The representatives will be
glad to co-operate with campus
organizations in planning col-
lege floats, decorations, dances,
parties, smokers, carnival booths,
etc. They will also cooperate
with local stores to increase their
cigarett sales.

The current campaigning is
one of the most intensive con-

is aimed at maintaining the
Lucky Strike, Pall Mall, Camels
and Winston status as the most
popular regular and king size
cigarettes in the nation's colleges

Tiger's Roar To
Add New Feature

The Tiger's Roar staff will
add to its publication a new fea-
ture, "A Student of the Month".
This feature will not only be
added in an effort to stimulate
an interest among the many
readers of the paper, but to en-
courage and promote the kind of
qualities within students that
are thought to be of prime im-
portance in the development of
a well-rounded individual.

month the following qualities are
sought: A friendly attitude to-
ward all, high moral character,
active participation in various
organizatoins. normal Intelli-
gence, average and above the
average scholarship and a
wholesome outlook on life. The
committee for selecting the stu-
dent of the month (which con-
sists of Reuben Cooper. Delores
Burns, Josephine English, Annie
Frasier, Glennis Scott and

are some of the most essential
traits which an individual must
have in order to represent a
well-developed person.

gestions as to who will be the
student of the month and the
entire staff will make the final
decision concerning the choice.

ROOSOVOU Williams

Thanksgiving Is n beautiful season, It is beautiful beeau.se of
the [easting, the fellowship and the fun which Is significant to most
of us. Amid the festivities, let us not forget to be thankful.

After looking buck ;md counting the many blessings and ac-
complishments of the year. It Is definite that each of the millions of
students across the nation has much for which to be thankful.

We should be thankful for the love of God which Is essential to
our prosperity, Wc should be thankful for our freedom, our tra-
ditions, our country, our parents, our home, our churches, our
schools and Cor our heritage. We should be especially thankful for
our teachers who have devoted their lives to prepare themselves for
the profession for which they have trained.

1 ,i-i ua not shift away from the one reason for which Thanksgiv-
ing Is celebrated. If we are not careful, we may find ourselves shift-
ing awaj from the most Important phase of Thanksgiving. It isn't
hard to lei. the festive determination dominate our minds. However,

If we try to determine or realize the true meaning of Thanksgiving,
one can be assured that the real way to celebrate Thanksgiving is
to give thanks to God for the many things with which He has
blessed us.

Tliniiksgiving 4s A
Holy Day

By Alice I). Bevens

On calendars of all people
certain days have been set aside
for .special religious or secular
observances. The day of which
the writer speaks is Thanksgiv-
ing Day

Three seasons of the year
marked major reasons for primi-
tive people to set aside a day
of thanksgiving.

In the fall, December 21. 1620,
Pilgrims landed on the coast of
New England and had many
great sufferings during that win-
ter. In the spring, fields were
planted and the lives of the
Colonists depended on the re-
sults. When the grain was cut,
the harvest was abundant and
there was great rejoicing. Then,
Governor William Bradford of
the Plymouth Colony, proclaimed
a day of thanksgiving.

After this harvest had past,
the other crops were destroyed
and the colonists faced starva-
tion in the summer of 1623 be-
cause of a drought. In the middle
of July, the governor appointed
a day for fasting and prayer.
Soon after, the weather changed,
the crops were saved and an-
other day of thanksgiving, July
30, 1623, was acclaimed.

Both of the preceding cele-
brations had a great influence
in forming the present Thanks-
giving Day. This is a day when
we should set aside all other
things, pray and give thanks to

God for the many blessings He
bas bestowed upon us.

Giving thanks was not meant
only for primitive people. In
some instances, we may give
thanks for things similar to
theirs or for things different
from theirs. Whatever it may
be, there is no reason to disre-
gard giving thanks at any time,
but on Thanksgiving Day. it is
another or a special day for giv-
ing thanks.

We should not only give
thanks for the turkey we eat on
Thanksgiving, but we should give
thanks for every possible means
that help make everyday life
worth living.

When President George Wash-
ington issued the first presiden-
tial proclamation in 1789 to
honor the constitution, a day of
thanksgiving was set aside on
Thursday November 26 1789. to
give thanks for the establish-
ment of a form of government
that provided for safety and
happiness.

President Abraham Lincoln is-
sued the second presidential
proclamation in 1864. stating
that the fourth Thursday in
November be observed as
Thanksgiving Day every year
thereafter.

Not either of the proclama-
tions were issued to give thanks
for having a turkey on Thanks-
giving. Therefore, giving thanks
is appropriate at all times.

Thanksgiving Day should be a
Holy Day. because it has a re-
ligious significance of great im-
portance in the lives of all peo-
ple It is a legal holiday, but It

At the second Geneva meeting,
held only three months after the
Head of State, the Big Four for-
eign ministers met to perpetuate
the "spirit of Geneva."

Elsenhower called this "the
acid test" which would deter-
mine whether the Russians'
change was a genuine one or not.
However, the Russians indicated
by their actions that they had no
Intention of reaching any agree-
ment with the West at the sec-
ond Geneva meeting. They felt
no need to bargain further be-
cause they had secured most of
what they desired at the first
meeting. When Russia revealed
its desire for peace, the West re-
laxed and the Communists re-
flexed their muscles.

The West entered the meeting
united on one basic proposition:
no European security pact nor
discussion of one with the reuni-
fication of Germany. Molotov
said that "European security"
came first and that the reunifi-
cation of Germany was subordi-
nate.

At the meeting, the West pro-
posed its plan which had been
approved by all the nations of
NATO. The plan would give each
side the right to inspect the oth-
er after creating an armed belt
or equal depth and strength
across the middle of Europe. It
would establish zones on both
sides of the border between the
Communist countries to the East
and a united Germany.

The West also offered to go
to the aid of any pact member
tnon-NATOi attacked by any
pact member who belongs to
NATO. This was done to alle-
viate the fear that Germany
once reunited might attack some
neighboring country.

Russia showed its rejection of
this plan by announcing its plan
for the reunification of Ger-
many They proposed that Ger-
many be united solely under
Russian rule. By the action and
the sale of arms in the Middle
East, they have indicated their
distaste for a peaceful coexist-
ence.

is also a Holy Day. Solemn prayer
and sincere thanksgiving for the
blessings of the year will make
it a Holy Day.

There are other means of
celebrating for this Day, but not
any of these are better than
making the Day Holy.

Some observances of Thanks-
giving Day are through church
services, family reunions, din-
iners, home festivals, special
parties and other festivities. Re-
gardless of which method of ob-
servance is chosen, be sure to
keep Thanksgiving Day Holy by
praying to give thanks to God,
for all of His blessings through-
out the year.

A blessing is a beneficial gift
that no man can measure and
they are offered abundantly to
anyone who accepts them with
an appreciative mind and sin-
cere thanks.

Message From The President

Fortune tening in some form has been found among many dif-
ferent cultures People everywhere at some time have wished to
know what the future held for them. Young people in college often
wonder what they will be like ten and twenty years after graduation.
One would consider such information of great value. Almost every-
one would be willing to go on a trip to see any person prepared to
unroll one's future in certain specific areas. Yet. -each college stu-
dent has within his reach an excellent forecast

Students are aware that their futures are being developed and
constructed as they go through college. Those who develop many
interests, show initiative, and take an active part in the college
community can be expected to continue these activitis beyond the
college halls. There are many aspects of growth initiated, discovered,
and developed in college which become distinguishing characteris-
tics of the individuals beyond the college walls. College students
who really wish to know their future can unlock the crystal ball
or decipher the youthful palm.

Often one overhears students discussing things or characteristics
which they do not like in their classmates, schoolmates, teachers,
and associates. Sometimes they talk about jealousies, dishonesty, un-
trustworthiness, unreliability, discourtesy, narrow mindedness, and
untidiness. Again they may discuss the positive aspects of these
characteristics found in their associates and contacts. Seldom, how-
ever, does it occur to the individuals that they too are being evalu-
ated by others. If one wishes to possess characteristics that would
make him a desirable member of a family, a church, a community,
an occupation or a profession, he must discover the characteristics
and seek to acquire them. Studies show that often people possess
in large proportions the undesirable characteristics which they dis-
like in others,

Such findings indicate that one needs often to study himself
in the light of the things he likes and dislikes about others. To de-
termine the future one needs to be fully acquainted with the pres-
ent. Almost every student can see himself in the near and distant
future if he earnestly desires. Once started, the process is reveal-
ing and rewarding.

Creative Tributes

Thanksgiving season is here
again
How thankful we ought to be

First, thanks to God Omnipo-
tent

Who gave His Son so free.

And thanks to Him for giving
us life

Thanks for food abundantly

Thanks for the power to be
captains of our souls
And strength to master our

destiny.

We are thankful for the sun-
shine,

The air that we breathe each
day;

For eyes to behold the beauty
of the earth

That capture Nature in its
sway.

Yes, we thank Him for the
amber evening sun

And the long, cool frosty
nights

And the immense Heavenly
bodies of the universe

That illuminate Mother earth
with their lights.

All the seasons are equally
good

Though Autumn seems far
best

For all the precious memorial
events

And the days of happiness.

So thanks be to Him who gave
us life

Thanks to the Pilgrims bold;

We give thanks and praise on
this special day.

For they gave thanks of old.

Book Review

By George Williams Jr. "57

East of Eden Is not a new book
by some standards. This book
was published In June of 1051.
It Is not since It was published
In parts In this week's Collier's
Magazine, Readers Digest's con-
densed book club selection and
Sears Readers club selection.

It warrants attention at this
time not because it is Steinbeck,
but because Hollywood has come
up with a movie version, which
some proclaim Is better than the
book.

East of Eden is a modern par-
able which flashes a panoramic
glimpse of the past 100 years of
America. It Is a story of our
march from East and West In
search of an Eden.

The story centers on Adam
Trosk who was appropriately
and Biblically named. He Is al-
most unbelievably blinded by his
dream of an earthly paradise,
which he thinks he has found in
the Salino Valley of California.
The novel encompasses the lives
of two families and their part In
the movement westward. It dis-
cusses houses of 111 repute, sol-
diering, and displays a plentiful
amount of extreme physical vio-
lence.

The central part of the story
is a discussion of Cain and Abel.
Talkers in this "dragged out"
discussion are Samuel Hamilton
i perhaps the most believable
character among Steinbeck's
hanging of unreal portraits),
Lee, an Intelligent Chinese who
was raised as a prcsbyterlan, and
Adam. It is Lee who makes the
universal point in which Stein-
beck labors. The moral is that
every man is potentially a Cain
and that It Is impossible to live
without feeling guilty and In-
adequately loved. As a result
Steinbeck seems to be saying
that there is a choice between
good and evil and each man
finds his happiness in making
his choice.

But it is In this moral discus-
sion where the author falls down.
He draws an arbitrary ethical
line and places his characters
either on goody side, or the vil-
lainous. Cat hey Is hateful, hard
to understand and obviously the
evil-to-end-all-evils.

Lee and Sam Hamilton are do-
gooders. Adam and ills brother
arc clear-cut representatives of
right and wrong; one is sensitive
and idealistic, the other is sadis-
tic and selfish.

Out of the abstract disillu-
sioned main characters he final-
ly finds himself and the world
he must accept.

But there is too much talk.
There are 600 pages and the
story is sprinkled across them
In some spots too spicy and in
other places too thin. In fact,
the author doesn't get his main
character into the Salinal Val-
ley until 100 pages have flipped
by.

Steinbeck is so busy having
his characters placed as symbols
of good and evil that he forgets

to develop them as living indi-
viduals. Violence occupies a
large portion of their action.

I highly recommend that you
read East of Eden, You may, or
may not like the author's mes-
sage, but you will at least be cog-
nizant of it.

No Second
Chance

By Wesley Griffin

You walk Into the classroom
You are told by Mr. Peacock at
one second after the hour the
train has pulled out from the
station. Dr, Gordon tells you a
book Is necessary to complete
the course. Dr. Williams tells
you critical thinking is necessary
and that no guess work is done
in his class. Dr Lloyd says, "Eco-
nomics Is hard, you'll read, but
you will not understand what
you read. You will have to come
to class every day and bring your
fountain pen with you. because
you don't write in pencil in
here." Dr. Dean says, "It's up to
you here. No one is going to
make you study. You are not in
high school anymore and if you
don't want to read this stuff
two or three times, you don't
have any business here."

But you insist that you don't
have the time to study. You will
therefore run the risk of bad
grades or even failure. The in-
structor will look at you kindly
but searchlngiy as he answers
with finality: "It's up to you!"
As he smiles, there is sadness in
his eyes and a touch of pathos In
his voice, for he knows that the
best source of information is
here being offered to you. But
you must decide whether to ac-
cept It or not.

Constantly, we are deciding
whether we are friends or ene-
mies to ourselves. No one else
has that responsibility. Further
than this, the decisions we must
make for ourselves Influence our
total lives.

Mythology has emphasized this
truth. The city of Troy finally
taken because the people fool-
ishly opened their gates and
pulled within their walls the
wooden horse which had been
constructed by the Greeks and
into which soldiers had climbed
and waited patiently for their
chance. Once inside the city.
these armed men let out by the
traitor Simon, opened the gates
of the city for their friends who
had returned under the cover of
night. The Greeks set the city
on fire. The people who had
been feasting, died by the sharp
swords of the infuriated enemy,
and Troy was completely sub-
dued.

To prophesy disaster only be-
cause this had been the fate of
former civilization might seem
pessimistic to you, but to many
scholars, it seems quite possible.
This kind of collapse happens
not merely to cities, but often to
a whole social order and to in-
dividuals. Society has often de-
cayed within, long before any ex-
ternal fall has been able to de-
stroy it. Those who are wise will
ponder this fact.

Certainly, as individuals, we
see how sharply this truth can
be etched on our minds and lives,
and individuals will decide the
future of our social order.

Quietude taking time to
think is what we need now. Un-
less our thinking keeps pace with
our work, we soon miss the pow-
er we need for life. In a day
when we are madly rushing from
one engagement to another, it is
imperative to discipline ourselves
with regular study and devo-
tions, to choose periods during
the day when meditation upon
our chosen profession is the one
concern

In George Bernard Shaw's St.
Joan. Charles the King, com-
plaining to Joan says, "Why

doesn't the voice come to me?
I am the King, not you." Joan
replies: "They do come to you
but you do not hear them. But
if you prayed from your heart,
and listened to the thrilling of
the bells in the air, even after
they stopped ringing, you would
be able to hear the voices as well
as I do."

The bells are ringing now. If
you stop and listen, you can hear
the voices of knowledge, of un-
derstanding, of patience and of
experience from those who are
planted here at Savannah State
College to aid you in furthering
your education so that you might
make your stand in life.

But it's up to you. The deci-
sion is yours. You will have to
decide for yourself. But remem-
ber this Whatever your decision
might be, it will have an influ-
ence on your total life.

As Mr. Carlyle has said:

"One life, a gleam of time be-
tween two eternities; no second
chance for us forevermore."

Vocational
Planning Hints

By Roosevelt J. Williams

As a human being is forced
with the ever-present problem
of earning a living, one should
seek the best possible practices
in order that he may face this
task with the maximum amount
of effectiveness.

Having a definite occupational
goal will give you a running start
over others who have not organ-
ized their plans to this effect.
By selecting your vocation early
and from the basis of ready-
obtained abilities, skills, and spe-
cial interests you are able to set
a better and more effective pat-
tern for your training.

A careful study of yourself Is
very necessary in planning a
successful vocation. The advice
of Socrates, "Know thyself" is
wise counsel, even today. It will
help you to discover your inter-
ests, skills, and special abilities,
and to evaluate your personal-
ity and your physical fitness for
certain jobs.

A careful study of yourself in-
cludes an examination of your
whole person and an appraisal
of all positive and negative fac-
tors which relate in any way to
vocational success or failure.
The first step in such a study is
a search for evidence of your in-
terests, skills and special know-
ledge.

To know your interests, you
have some important and help-
ful information about yourself.
Your school experiences may aid
you in sleeting your special in-
terests. A few questions you
may ask yourself are these:

1 What subjects do I like best?
Why?

2. What subjects do I like
least? Why?

3. In what subjects did I make
the highest marks?

4. Are these the subjects that I
liked best? If not, why?

5. How about the subjects in
which I made the lowest marks?

These questions should be an-
swered as definitely as possible
in order that you may achieve
the maximum results from your
analysis.

If you analyze your previous
work experiences you will dis-
cover further evidence of your
interests. Here are a few ques-
tions you may ask yourself per-
taining to your previous work.

l.What did I like most about
the job? Why?

2. What did I like least? Why?

3. Was there anything about
the work itself that led me to
quit any particular job? If so,
what was it?

4. Have I ever worked at a job
after hours just because I want-

ed to? If so, what type of job
was it?

By asking yourself these ques-
tions concerning the previous
jobs you have held will help you
to determine your special inter-
ests. Your leisure activities and
hobbies will also aid you in de-
termining the things in which
you are particularly interested.

You need not limit yourself to
the questions listed above, but
may consider any others that
may occur to you or be of some
help in obtaining a sound anal-
ysis. Compare the items you
have considered. Do they give
you any picture of the kind of
things you like to do most? A
careful study of the first group
of questions listed above will de-
termine whether the enthusiasm
for a teacher has colored your
analysis is necessary in order to
decrease the possibilities of drift-
ing into a vocation in which you
will be unhappy.

When you have found the
point at which your abilities,
skills, and special interests coin-
cide, you have a powerful com-
bination for success.

College Goals

An Values

Reubin Cooper

It is my firm belief and con-
viction at this time that thous-
ands of students enroll in Col-
lege every year without consid-
ering the significance of the
fact.

I take the time here to not
only invite, but admonish all
new College students to discuss
briefly some important facts to
consider in their quest for know-
ledge and a better understanding
of the world in which we live.
This year, as previous years,
young men and women are
flocking to our colleges in large
numbers. Their motives and
reasons for going are probably
to be with high school classmates
for some, and others a desire to
elevate themselves by learning
more in order to make better
citizens, better homes, better
churches, better communities.
and therefore a higher society.
I venture to say that probably
half of the high school graduates
who go to college at the time of
entrance, have any reasons at all
for going and have not set any
goal in life to reach.

I think before entrance to col-
lege one must consider the pur-
pose of college and what he ex-
pects to accomplish by going to
college, or does he have to go to
college to be successful in the vo-
cation of his choice.

Therefore the question comes
to mind, What college should I
go to or, What shall I choose?
More important should be the
question, What work am I best
suited for and what are my cap-
abilities? Why do I want to
spend five long years incollege?
What can I expect to receive
from my college experince? No
single answer can be given to
this question for all individuals.
One must seek his own answer
within himself in vision of his
life values.

In order to be successful in
college and to receive the most
value from college training, one
must have a life objective. For
one who goes to college without
an objective in life to work to-
ward, most likely finds himself
making poor grades and eventu-
ally going back home a failure.
He fails, not because he never
knew what he came to college
for in the first place. We very
easily get discouraged if there is
no goal for which we strive to
reach, and there will be a lack
of effort and interest in doing
college work. To set a goal for a
college career gives one the need-
ed incentive and interest to

during the coming year, accord-
ing to Educational Testing Ser-
vice, which prepares and admin-
isters the test.

The tests will be administered
on February 2. April 14, and Au-
gust 18 in 1956. Applications and
fees must be filed with the Ad-
mission Test for Graduate Study
in Business, Educational Test-
ing Service, 20 Nassau Street,

Senior Women
Privileges Being Revised

BOULDER, COLO. (LP.)
Senior women at the University
of Colorado will be free to stay
out as late as they wish this
year, according to an announce-
ment by Dean of Women Mary-
Ethel Ball. The proposal has
been approved by the Board of
Regents, the University Execu-
tive Committee and President
Ward Darley.

Under the plan, door keys will
be given to each senior, the cost
being absorbed by a key deposit.
Seniors would be required to
sign out of their residence when
they intend to be out beyond the
regular closing hours or over-
night. Falsification on signout
slips or abuse of the key privilege
would be subject to severe pen-
alty. Persons supervising the
program would reserve the right
to check signout information at
any time.

The dean's office believes sen-
ior girls are mature enough to
be trusted with the new privilege.
It was pointed out that the plan
will be evaluated each year and
that the Associated Women Stu-
dents organization is free to re-
voke it each year.

Law School Admission
Tests Required

The Law School Admission
Test required of applicants for
admission to a number of lead-
ing American law schools, will
be given at more than 100 cen-
ters throughout the United

21, and August 11, 1956. During
1954-55 nearly 10,000 applicants
took this -test, and their scores
were sent to over 100 law schools.

Bulletins and applications for
the test should be obtained four
to six weeks in advance of the
desired testing date from Law
School Administration Test, Ed-
ucational Testing Service, 20
Nassau Street. Princeton, N. J.
Completed applications must be
received at least ten days before
the desired testing date in order
to allow ETS time to complete
the necessary testing arrange-
ments for each candidate.

College Goal*

f Continued tion-. Pagt t

tttdy to i.nn the things ho
knows he must learn in order to
reach the goal that he expects
to reach in life.

If we are some of the fortu-
nate few who graduate from col-
lege, regardless to what work we
have chosen, or what field of
profession we go into, we will be
looked upon as leaders In the
community in which we live. We
will be expected to have an an-
swer to many of the questions of
life. We must therefore find
pleasure in learning and con-
stantly practice what we learn.

There are young men and wo-
men who go to college making
the sad mistake of thinking that
college will make a new man or
woman of them. They form the
wrong concept of college and un-
less soon corrected they will
find that they wait In vain for
college to do for them what they
need to do for themselves. With
this conception of college, one's
time and money spent in college
will have profited him nothing.

Everyone shouldn't go to col-
lege. Unfortunately, there's
some who are unable to attend
college because of financial rea-
sons, but there are precious few
who do not have the mental
ability to do average college
work, once they have finished
high school, if they find the Col-
lege work best suits their needs.
For those who go to college with-
out a sound and definite goal to

reach, if by some means they
stay to graduate, they will find
that going to college was only
time and effort thrown away.
Their college career meant noth-
ing and the time ond money
spent in college was an extrava-
gant waste.

In order to be successful and
receive the most value from a
college career, one must have a
definite goal for life, and in-
stead of waiting for college to
make ;i new man of him study
to learn and elevate himself and
by so doing he shall find pleas-
ure In working toward a worth-
while goal.

S.S.C. Presents
Pearl Primus ^
Gwendolyn C. Proetor

The Lyceum Committee of Sa-
vannah stale College presented
Pearl Primus and Company on
Thursday, November L0 at 8:15
p.m., as the first attraction of
the 1055 Lyceum Series,

Out of the vast storehouse of

knowledge and experience, Miss
Primus used her powerful Imag-
ination to create the most dy-
namic and artistic dance presen-
tation. The program was based
upon elaborate ceremonies of the
Jungle, the little-known ritual
dunces of Melanesia, the fascin-
ating legends and Calypso of
Hie Caribbean, and the soul-
stlrrlng spirituals and Jazz of our
United States.

"Shango" featured Miss Prim-
us In all the dramatic vitality of

her technique. Portraying the
ancient Yoruba, God of Thunder
and Lightning, she seemed to
emerge from nowhere to chal-
lenge the present and the future
with the power of the past. She
spread the rhythms of her Shan-
go drummers like an enchanted
carpet beneath her feet and for
her the ground does not exist.

The auditorium was filled to
its capacity.

With a supporting cast of top-
notch dancers, musicians and
singers, this company has suc-
ceeded in presenting on stage
an artistic triumph in dance.

This attraction was held in
Meldiim Auditorium and was
open to the public without
charge.

Albany Tops S.S.C.

Albany statu College's football
team Invaded Savannah State
College's athletic field proudly
proclaiming the distinction of
being Georgia's only undefeated
college eleven. After 60 minutes
of buttling the Visitors left the
glrdiron with fame untarnished
and a 23 to victory.

The team from Dougherty
County lived up to the name of
Rams for they battered the luck :
less Tigers into submission after
the Savannahians gave the Rams
a real scare In the third period.

James, Quarterback
For Tigers

Roland James, a freshman
majoring In Physical Education
and minorlng in Business Edu-
cation, Is one of the regular
quarterbacks for the Savannah
State Tigers, who sees action in

most of the games that the Tig

ers play. Ho has proven that he
is quite capable of handling the
key position by his performances
in the first throe games that the
Tigers have played. In the Flor-
ida Normal game, he scored one
touchdown and passed for an-
other, He has also been one Of
the main reasons why the Tigers
have been playing like cham-

Wednesday, December 7, at
Hammond Hall from four to

and games were available for
everyone's enjoyment.

The foods classes made pies,
cakes, and cup-cakes, fried fish,
chicken (barbecue), rolls,
cookies, ribs, coffee, slaw, potato
salad and hot dogs which were
sold.

On sale and display from the
clothing area wa; a variety of
beautiful aprons, shoe-bags of all
sizes, place mat sets, toaster and
mixer covers, cosmetics capes,
and laundry bags.

A new and adventurous addi-
tion was added to the Bazaar;
Items were raffled off such as
cakes, chickens, hams and five
gallons of gasoline.

The proceeds from the sales
are to go into the club's treasury,
and to send a student represent-
ative to the meeting of the

We believe the interest in the
Bazaar will continue and each
year will grow better and better.

Peace On Earth, Good W ill To ill Men

Creative Tributes

By Louis Hill Pratt, '58

one thousand nine hundred
and fifty-five years ago, the cur-
rently well-known Bible passage
"Peace on earth, good will to all
men" originated.

In those days, men respected
this Idea. They felt that the love
Of God and Ills son, Jesus, should
be spread throughout the entire
earth, They knew that this wns
the only way to have peace and
gOOCl will to all men.

Let us go back to the time of
the origination of these famous
words, Universal understanding
and knowledge were low, in com-

pai'lson to our present day

achievements,

The nuld, frankincense and
myrrh-bearing shepherds were
illiterate men. They knew only
the love of God and the good-
will of their fellow men These
men used their knowledge to
spread peace and goodwill. Sure-
ly they gained favor in the sight
of God.

Bui what has happened to the
peace and goodwill of old? What
has become of the love of God
which manifested Itself in the
humble shepherds who brought
their gifts to the Christ-Child?

The truth of the matter is that
increased knowledge has so
modified our society that we
cannot realize our dependence
upon Almighty God.

We cannot practice good-will
toward our neighbors because we
are too busy segregating and
discriminating against, our fel-
low-men in our selfish quest for

the recognition of society.

"Peace on earth, good-will to
all men" lias been challenged. It
even has been changed! This Is
entirely too broad in our present
day I The advocation now is
"Peace on earth after the fulfill-
ment Of my own selfish desires
and pence to all men of good-
will, If they are of particular
race, creed or color."

With this In mind, we have
not retained the true feeling of
this idea. We repeat the words
at this season of the year; yet
they are only words. We don't
realize and appreciate the true
meaning of them,

We should stop for a moment
from our busy schedules, to, think
on this idea. Then, we would
find no time to segregate none
to discriminate against our fel-
low men. We would find war and
bloodshed out of place in our
modern society, and our world
of today would be one of uni-
versal understanding and last-
ing peace and good-will to all.

Sincere wishes for a most hap-
py and enjoyable Yuletide Sea-
son to all members of the SA-
VANNAH STATE COLLEGE
FAMILY, along with hopes for a
prosperous nineteen hundred
and fifty-six.

The Things Love Is

Oh, love Is such a funny thing,
It makes you laugh, shout and

.sing.
The hour It comes your cares

and troubles

i like bubbles
Oh, love is such a common thing.
The beggar man, the proudest

king,
Fall into love's sweet magic sway
And beg to stay.
Oh, love Is such a magic thing,
Your very heart and soul take

wing,
You rise and soar on clouds of

bliss

At every kiSS.

And love's a fragile, sacred thing,
So let it, to your bosom cling.
Heaven's below and not above,
When you're in love.

Message from the President

Because of Him

Because he lived so long ago
And made so straight the way;
Because of that, and only that
Is why I live today.
Because God was so generous
In giving liis son to be
Mocked, hanged, and despised

of men
That we too might be free.
Because Christ was born of Mary
So humbly at the Inn
Not in rich attire but of low

estate
That the poor too might know

him.
Because he disputed lawyers and

doctors
When he was only twelve years

old
Who thought they had the

"Know how"
But couldn't cure a sin-sick soul,
yes Jesus lived long ago
And today he is living still
He lives within the hearts of

those
Who obey him and keep his will.

By

This is an age in which men
seldom sit in conference and ac-
complish a peaceful settlement
or come to an agreement that
would be in accord with the ma-
jority of the peoples involved.
Rather than to enter these con-
ferences with open minds, more
than often the conferees enter
into conferences with set opin-
ions, and prepared statement to
demand rather than ask. They
seem unwilling to respect the
rights and opinions of others and
ofttimes are not expressing the
desire of the nation's people.

A most glaring example of this
is the more recent Geneva con-
ference. Both the East and the
West had prepared agendas that
did not agree on one single point.
The West refused to give in to
the East and the East meanwhile
rather than attempt a compro-
mise gave its plan for a unified
Germany, disarmament, and im-
provement of East and Western
relationship. As a result nothing
was accomplished.

However, at a later meeting
Molotov and Dulles agreed on
the admission of seventeen na-
tions to the United Nations, four
of which are Communist. This
agreement in which Britain and
France concurred would break

A few years ago psychologists
and students of human behavior
were searching to find how early
Individuals began certain activi-
ties. In studies of Infants and
early childhood, they found that
most of the basic behavier proc-
esses existed or could be easily
acquired. There is no longer any
question concerning the thinking
abilities of children and adoles-
cents. Just as those studies have
thrown light on thinking so
other studies have indicated that
characteristics of good citizens
appear early in life and show
progressive development as one
exercises them.

In our colleges there are sev-
eral million young men and wom-
en who are developing citizen-
ship qualities. In some colleges
much growth takes place in this
area because the students par-
ticipate in the major community
activities, and they exercise gov-
ernmental functions necessary
to provide for the welfare of the
school community. The student
body arranges to set up regula-

tions which will promote the
welfare of students and the in-
stitution. Provision is also made
for the collection of funds which
will be needed to support the
activities desired. In addition,
provision is made for participa-
tion in the drives and campaigns
for funds sponsored by organi-
zations like the American Red
Cross, American Cancer Society,
Polio Drive, American Heart As-
sociation. World Student Fund,
Tuberculosis Association, and the
local community chest. It is de-
sirable that students should
contribute directly from their
own resources some money to-
ward the running of the institu-
tions that this aspect of partici-
pation, when started in elemen-
tary and high school, can reach
near adult proportions by the
time the student reaches college.
Every student should evaluate
his education in terms of citizen-
ship objectives as well as in re-
gard to academic goals.

President

a nine-year deadlock and in-
crease the United Nations mem-
bership to seventy-seven,

Around the world today we
find a perpetual state of con-
fusion and high tension. Almost
anywhere, at anytime it is likely
that the fuse to the highly
charged powder keg be lit.

In the Middle East Egypt and
Israel continue to clash over the
Gaza strip. The Communists
have been shipping tanks, jets
and submarines to Egypt. In or-
der to protect itself, Israel has
appealed to the United States
for armament to maintain the
balance of power. The United
States has refused to contribute
support to what appears an arms
race. However the United States
and Great Britain have formal-
ly warned the two nations that
they would support and join
the attacked nation in what
might be a preventive war.

For the twenty-first time since
France's liberation, the govern-
ment has been overthrown. This
achieved the desire of Premier
Faure to hold an early election
for a new National Assembly. A
measure introduced earlier into
the assembly to hold a new elec-
tion at an early date was de-
feated but because more than a
majority of the Assembly voted
to overthrow Faure's Cabinet, ac-

Honors Day

During the past school year of
1954-55 twenty-seven students of
Savannah State College have
used their time wisely to the best
of their abilities and by doing
so, have been able to earn an
average of "B" or higher during
the three quarters.

These twenty-seven students
were given special recognition
during an Honors Day program
which was held on Thursday,
December 8 at 12 o'clock noon,
in Meldrim Auditorium. Dr. Ma-
rian R. Myles. head of the Biolo-
gy Department at Fort Valley
State College, was guest speaker.

Two students who had excelled
in biology, chemistry and math-
ematics received membership in-
to Beta Kappa Chi, National
Honorary Scientific Society.
They earned a minimum of 26
hours in one field of Science
with a 2.00 average or above,
and had maintained a 2.00 aver-
age or above in all other courses.

Our hats are off to you who
were honored. We are hoping
that you will be even more suc-
cessful this term and that many
of the other students will get
hold of themselves and start ex-
ploring the various areas of
knowledge and using their pre-
cious hours to their advantage.

SSC Tops Claflin
In HtmiecoiiiinjiTie

The Savannah State Tigers
took complete charge to hand
the Claflin Panthers a 19-6 de-
feat before hundreds of Alumni
and Students at the Annual
Homecoming game which was
played on the Athletic Field at
Savannah State College-
Savannah State scored touch-
downs in the first, second and
third quarters. Charles Cozart
scored the first touchdown, Ro-
land James raced 95 yards for
the second, and Willie Batchelor
scored the third.

Charles Cameron recovered a
Claflin fumble on the Panther's
45 yard line and Charles Cozart
passed to halfback Joseph Rey-
nolds for 30 yards. On the next
play, Charles Cozart raced
around left end for the TD. The
kick for the extra point was
blocked.

In the second quarter, Roland
James showed the spectators
that he could call plays AND
run the ball. After Claflin
threatened to score in the second
quarter by four successive drives
which gave Claflin possession of
the ball on the Tigers' 15 yard
line, James intercepted a pass
from QB Frank Lowery and
raced 95 yards for Savannah
State's second TD. The try for
the extra point failed.

Halfbacks Joseph Reynolds,
Willie Batchelor, Charles Cozart,
ind Moses King drove to the
Panther's 15 yard line after re-
ceiving a kick from the Pan-
thers. Batchelor then took a
liandoff from QB James and
drove into the end zone for the
Tigers' third TD.

Claflin scored its only touch-
down in the final minutes of the
fourth quarter. The touchdown
came after Claflin's end Robert
Hubbard blocked a Moses kick
on Savannah State's 22 yard
line. Frank Lowery passed to
Joseph Washington on the Ti-
mers' 12 yard line. Panther QB
Lowery passed again in the end

Where Does the Time Go?
A study recently completed by
the Department of Student Life
at Douglass College gave the an-
swer to how students spend their
time. It was estimated that the
"average undergraduate devotes
a forty hour week to academic
pursuits, including sixteen hours,
forty minutes in attending class-
es and twenty-six hours, twenty-
two minutes in class prepara-
tion."

Premier Faure launched his

He is also asking that the system

Pointers To

Gift-Givers

James l\ Melver

Well, guys and dolls. Christmas
is just a few days away i assume
that the major thought which
is pacing through your minds is
"What am I going to give (hat
dream' of mine as a Christmas
gift?"

Among the many gifts that
may be exchanged are: books,
musical recordings, candy, flow
ers, pens, stationery, photos, et
cetera. An embarasslng situation
will occur if you distribute the
same photo of yourself to friends
of your loved one.

Gifts for members of the fam-
ily should be presented infor-
mally. One should have little or
no trouble deciding what type oJ
gifts to purchase for members of
the family, especially If you have
spent most of your life with
them.

When you receive a gift in a
person-to-person manner, one
should not hesitate to open tin
gift Immediately, and show warm
and sincere expressions of appre-
ciation and thanks.

If it is sent by mail, one or
two days after receiving a gift,
one should send the donor a
letter of thanks.

The true spirit of giving rcnlly
should be, "To bestow freely
without hope of a return." I as-
sume that it is inevitable for
anyone not to give at least one
gift to someone for Christinas.
Remember the saying, "It Is bet-
ter to give than to receive," and
make your Christmas a signifi-
cant and an enjoyable one.

It's AM a Matter of Definition

A recent issue of the Oklahoma
Daily listed these collegiate defi-
nitions:

COLLEGE: A mental institu-
tion.

DIPLOMA: A sheepskin that a
graduate uses to pull the wool

MISS GLORIA GAMBLE, Sophomore, from Savannah, Ga.; ma-

they are all either bright, lit up
or polishing the apple.

m Volley Bail practice.

Fashions

The Fashions that are being
worn on the campus both by the
young men and the young wom-
en are very charming.

In this issue I am going to
give the young men and the
young ladies a few high points
that will aid them in perfecting
their dress for formal and semi-
formal affairs. For dances, the
Following styles are very appro-
priate: the beautiful ballarina
length gowns, the low-cut dress-
es with the V or the U, and long
party dresses with the square
necklines.

Now, to the young men, your

charcoal black, gray and brown
plus the other shades with ac-
cessories to match are real gone
I tils season.

The young ladies are wearing
Bermudas with suspenders and
sox to match when they step out
In their sports outfits.

Here are some glamor tips for
the young ladies:

1. Select clothes that will
bring out the shade of your eyes.

2. Get out of the habit of
walking with your head down.

3 Always wear a smile be-
cause it brings out your charm
and beauty.

4. Don't wear bright red fin-
ger nail polish on your dates.
The natural shade is preferred.

5. If you smoke, use nicotine
remover to remove nicotine
stains from your fingers.

6. If you have halitosis, get
some type of drug which is
recommended for unpleasant
breath.

I am sure that all of the young
men and the young ladies are
going to be very courteous and
kind toward their fellowmen.
This is the prerequisite to being
popular and charming. So long
now until January.

CAMPUS 4-H CLUB

The Campus 4-H Club was or-
ganized in 1953. Officially, it did
not begin to function until the
spring of 1955.

The enrollment has increased
to twenty. This number consists
mostly of former members of
4-H Clubs from different coun-
ties.

Four girls are representing
Chatham County at the 4-H
Congress in Dublin, Georgia.
They are Gloria Moultrie, Jose-
phine Grant, Earlene Gouse and
Janie Bell Ferguson of the Cam-
pus 4-H Club. These girls will
appear in a dress revue. They
have done outstanding work in
the clothing project, and have
made most of their wearing ap-
parel too, they have earned
money by sewing for others,

Dr. Henry Newman of Stanford

placed on the "rah, rah" side of
collegiate life drew this sarcas-
tlc bit of writing from Sam
Chapman, columnist for West
Virginia University's Dally Ath-
enaeum:

"What do most people go to
college for In the first place?
Four years of "college life" of
course, and the old "rah, rah,
rah!" Some students want to
learn a little something on the
side, but this is only secondary.
With this in mind, it seems quite
logical that observance of fresh-
man rules should play a large
part in participation in honor-
aries. Someone who misses pep
rallies for such a silly reason as
studying for an exam, someone
who neglects to wear a beanie,
or someone who doesn't happen
to like football, should by all
means be excluded from honor-
arles. We should honor those
who quote the "Alma Mater"
and "We Want a Touchdown"
to enthusiastic perfection.

ft is time for the old fogies to
realize that this is not an age of
books and learning. This is the
age of mass production sports
and enforced freshman rules.

Kansas State College has been
awarded another All-American
rating by the Associated Colle-
giate Press. It's the 20th year in
a row that the Royal Purple has
been rated among the country's
top yearbooks.

Cuspidors, Anyone?

There are all kinds and shapes
of athletic contests, but it looks
as if the East Texas State Teach-
ers has come up with one to top
them all. They've got a junior
down there named John Chapel,
who for two consecutive years
has won tobacco spitting con-
tests.

John won the contest two
years ago by expelling a stream
of juice 23 feet. A year later he
defended his title with a spat of
21 feet, 3 inches. The loss of dis-
tance the second time was due to
a strong wind.

Now he's going after the title
for the third year in a row. This
is the sort of thing the Ameri-
can Tobacco company might get
hold of and really exploit.

their goals during this year.

"leap year." In achieving the
goals of making this a beter

determnied than last year. He
stated that during the last year
there should have been achieve-

strate mastery of subject matter
in the fields in which the candi-
date is prepared.

Message From

The President

\<:iiii:\i;mi;\t

By Louis hhi Pratt, '58

II. I;; well occasionally to review

the pleasures and achievements
of the pasl . Too often, however,
wo lend 1.0 become satisfied with
our past laurels and our present
progress Is Impeded,

We Tnll to recognize the Inevi-
table [act that the past only re-
flects what we were. 11. Ifi nrcrs
stiry that we continue to achieve,
Tor when man becomes unpro-
ductive, he relinquishes his posi-
tion In the world,

Past achievements should be
used only as a measuring rod to
glorify even greater achieve-
ments of the present.

Society taps one who constant-
ly relates or his past a braggard,

but she smiles on one who Is

constantly striving to achieve
If you would have a job done
well, employ a busy person, as
idleness Is the devil's workshop.
Dissatisfaction has paved the
road In the world's greatest dis-
coveries and Inventions. Today,
as In yesteryears, our greatest
thinkers and erudite men are
those who are dissatisfied with

the past and are possessed with
an undying and relentless objec-
tive to strive and achieve.

Perhaps the reason underlying
I he over-supply of satisfied per-
sons Is that we ask so much of
the world and have so little to
offer it.

Invariably, our efforts toward

progress are elreum vented by
misfortune. We then travel the
line or least resistance dispalr.
It was Fall who said "Small
minds are subdued by misfor-
tune, but great minds rise above
It." Little realization is given to
the fact that all worthwhile
achievements are proceeded by
hard work, despair, determina-
tion, and a firm senses of values.

As Borthwick so skillfully and
aptly put it, "If what you did
yesterday still looks big to you
today, you haven't quite done
your part today."

In 1956, let us continue striv-
ing to achieve and uphold the
worthy principles and aims for
which our College so nobly,
proudly and firmly stands today
as in yesteryears.

During the early days of Jan-
uary. President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower submitted his fourth an-
nual "State of the Union" mes-
sage. The message was read in
the two houses by clerks due to
the President's recent illness. In
this message, the President first
expressed grateful thanks to a
kind God "whose protection has
been ever present and whose
bounty has been manifold and
abundant." He summed up the
state in which the United States
linds itself at the end of 1955
and In accordance with the Con-
stitution, he turned to the pros-
pects for the future.

The U. S. primary objective
was the achievement of world
peace and the removal of "the
pall of fear" stated the Presi-
dent, reviewing the first meet-
ing in Geneva and the meeting
of the Big Four foreign minis-
ters in October where the Com-
munists showed their "true col-
ors". President Eisenhower fur-
ther stated that the nation needs
to press its search for regional
objectives: in the Middle East,
(one of the world's "hot" trou-
ble spots) a fair solution of the
tragic dispute between the Arab
states and Israel; in Asia, ren-
der aid to those nations strug-
gling to maintain their freedom;
in Europe, "a greater measure of
integration".

He proposed a new approach
to foreign economic aid, request-
ing Congress to grant him "lim-
ited authority to make longer-
term commitments". Egypt has
threatened to refuse to accept
the aid of the Western Nations
in its Aswan Dam project be-
cause of the lack of assurance of
sufficient funds available to
Egypt for future use and be-
cause of certain stipulations by
the western nations which the
Communists are not asking.

As for the nation itself, the
President proposed a five-year
program of federal aid for the
construction of schools, an ex-
tension of public housing facili-
ties for low-income families, a
balanced budget for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1957, an
experimental program of flood
damage indemnities, a "soil
bank" for agriculture, a ten-
year, $25 billion program of in-
terstate highway construction
and others.

The recent election in France
had the biggest election turnout
in France's history but to the
dismay of many. Of the 21,794,-
974 voters to go to the polls 5,-
400.000 cast their ballots for the
Communists and gave them in-
creased representation in Parlia-
ment because in five years past
the men of immobolism who
governed France had been found
wanting. For the third time
since World War II, the French
people had gone to the polls.
Eighty-two per cent of the eli-
gible voters turned out and in
an Assembly of 626 seats, dis-
sipated the governing power
among four main blocs:

Communists 150

Left-of-center coalition (Pre-
mier Mendes France and Social-
ites) 160

Right-of-center coalition (Pre-
mier Edgar Faure, Roman Cath-
olic M.R.P., Independents) 200

Poujadists 52

Prior to the election the ex-
perts did not take young Pierre
Poujade seriously. He was only a
bookseller whose only program
was a refusal to pay taxes and

Recently there has been unus-
ual concern about tests and ex-
aminations. To mention the
term often creates definite emo-
tional reactions In students or
candidates expecting to take
such examinations. It is not oft-
en that one finds individuals
who consider examinations as a
normal process of education or
measurement. Perhaps one won-
ders how this fear exists from
the first grade through college
and the graduate school, [^Cer-
tainly, one should become accus-
tomed to periodic examinations
after a few instances. Learning
to take examinations should be-
come a normal process for stu-
dents and Individuals engaged in
occupations or professions which
make use of such instruments. If
individuals had confidence in
x-hoir abilities to succeed, there
would probably be less fear or
emotional shock. The individual
faced with a nexamination often
discovers that his training and
information are not adequate to
undertake the task. In general,
those who feel adequately pre-
pared do not experience the feari
and the fright.

College students can secure in-
iiirance against such catastro-
phies. To state how this insur-
ance can be provided in over-
simplified terms, one might say
that thorough preparation from
day to day produces the feeling
of adequacy and abilities needed
to succeed in examinations
based on one's training and lev-
el of development. The teacher
and the student both can make
a contribution to the develop-

ment of abilities and self-con-
fidence needed for success in ex-
amination. Teachers through the
administration of quizzes, tests,
and quarterly examinations can
be sure that students have had
opportunities to acquire the re-
actions necessary for successful
examination results. However,
the major part of the prepara-
tion rests with the student. The
chief difficulties confronting
students may be traced to a lack
of balance and variety in the
fields of knowledge. Students
taking comprehensive examina-
tions find that in some fields
their knowledge and information
are almost non-existent. Since
one acquires education through
his own activities and exper-
ience, students should develop a
plan which will help them grow
and learn i nthe various fields.
Present-day magazines, newspa-
pers, and boks provide excellent
materials in language and com-

ununication, fine arts, natural

/sciences, social sciences, and the'
professions. It is up to the stu-*
dent to see that his educational
diet possesses the variety needed-
to produce a well-educated per^
son. At every level in college stu-
dents can begin now to provide
for that balance and variety of
experiences needed to develop a

1 well-educated individual. As a
good . beginning the student
might make a chart on which he

I could check the activities in
which he engages that contrib-
ute to each of the major areas
Such a plan would tend to re-
duce the insecurity and resulting
emotional fear and shock.

whose only remedy was to get
rid of the old gang. "Throw the
rascals out!" was his cry and
2,400,000 Frenchmen gave him
their vote even though he was
not running in the election him-
self. His candidates had to take
an oath not to take a position on
an issue which has not been ap-
proved by the Central National
Committee.

After the election, Frenchmen
could hardly believe that they
had put a third (36 per cent) of
the Popular vote of Parliament
into the hands of men openly
opposed to parliamentary de-
mocracy.

When he comes into the world,
everybody wants to kiss him;

But before he leaves, every-
body wants to kick him.

If he dies young, he leaves a
great future before him; but if
he lives to reach a ripe old age,
he's in the way and only living
to save funeral expenses.

Life is funny. So why take it
so seriously you will never get
out of it alive.

LIFE'S JOURNEY

A man comes into the world
without his consent and leaves
against his will. During his stay
on earth, his time is spent most-
ly in one continual round of con-
traries and misunderstandings.

In his dueits, he's a fool.

In his infancy, he's an angel.

In his boyhood, he's a devil.

And in his manhood, he's ev-
erything from a skunk up.

If he goes to church, he's a
hyprocrite.

If he stays away from church,
he's a sinner.

If he donates to a foreign mis-
sion, he shows good judgment;
if he does not, he will always re-
gret it.

The only member of the Sa-

team who has been able to
maintain a 20 point average per
name for the first foui games for
the Tigers this season is Robert
Robblns, He Is a freshman here
at Savannah State College and

he is planning to major hi Math-
ematics. Upon graduation he
plans to become a teacher of
Mathematics or a high school
coach.

In Ids first game with the
Tigers and his first college game,
(played against The Clark Pan-
thers of Atlanta, Georgia) he
scored 18 points, in the 1955
game against Claflin College on
December 13, he scored 27 points
which was one of his best games.
The students of Savannah State
College and local fans have but
one word to describe Robblns
and that word is "Sensational".

Bachelor's Beware

immediately she replies, "But
you must not love me." And if
'you're as foolish as I was to ask
why. the forthcoming answer is.
"Because love and marriage go
together you can't have one
without the other."

I must warn you that It is use-
less to question whether or not
love and marriage really go to-
gether. The women have decided
they do. and brother, once they
decide something, as any mar-

ried man (poor fellow) will tell
you it's final.

In the face of the present dan-
ger we must take a united stand.
Together we remain free and in-
dependent. Divided we will be
marched to the altar one by one.
We must all become full-fledged
and active members of the S.P.B.
Society for the Preservation of
Bachelorhood).

The women have been arming
themselves for three years and
I need not remind you that they
possess the most devastating wea-
pons known to mankind, includ-
ing the A., H. or Z. bomb. Their
kisses will be mellower than ever
and their smiles more myster-
ious than Mona Lisa's. The melo-
dious tones of their voices will
become more entrancing and the
antelopic grace of their walk
will appear more voluptuous than
ever before.

All of these subtle devices are
to be employed for only one pur-
pose to lead us by the ear to
that place which for so long has
been taboo ithe altar) and to
compel us to utter those two for-
bidden words "I do."

Against such an all-out attack
on our independence, it is cer-
tain that some of us are doomed
to the chains of matrimony.
Only the very, very strong will
survive, but survive we must.
The resistance that we have been
building up since 1953 is going
to be subjected to the most se-

vere of tests for the next 336
days.

To those of you who have not
taken time to build your eresist-
ance up. here is some very good
advice.

If your resistance is so low
Till you cannot tell her no
But you do not like wedding bells
Then get prepared to run like .

I have some more advice to
give but I must get dressed. My
girl is coming to pick me up at
eight and I'm sure that she will
pop the question tonight. So I'll
see you at the altar.

Here are the types of music
that some of the students pre-

will also find their reasons for
liking the type of music that
they have selected as their fav-
orite

Harriet Polite: "I like popular
music because it is eery relax-
ing."

Leon Coverson: "I prefer pop-
ular music because it is easier
for dancing purposes."

Eudora Moore; "My love for
music varies from classical to
jazz. There is a definite quality
in each for "me."

Jolly Stephens: "I like rhythm
and blues because it tends to
take the dullness out of my life".

Triumph vs. Defeat

By Louis Hill Pratt, '68

When two persona or groups of
persons bake opposite sides on
an issue, triumph and defeat are
the probable consequences. The
prize or the winner Is triumph

and detent Is the loser's lot.

it Is generally easy to profit
from a triumph) and therefore,
the concern here Is directed to
the potential profits of defeat.

Technically, there can never
be two winners in any cause.
But If the experience derived
from an encounter profits each
party equally, there Is complete
triumph.

It Is hero that I quote Keel
who stated, "There are some de-
feats that arc more triumphant
than victories".

The object, here Is an attempt
to show how both victorious and
non-victorious experiences may
promote future victories,

It. is likely that those of us
who have participated in any
type of competitive activity have
been both victorious and van-
quished.

Success In a field of endeavor
depends not so much on victory
as It does on the use one makes
of the total experiences derived
from his defeats and trlumps,

I should think that the noblest
and wisest men who have ever

lived were those who consistent-
ly searched defeat for some les-
son or moral, and have utilized
this product In future encoun-
ters.

The first step toward defeat is
lack of confidence, Secondly,
determination falters, resulting
in despair and the Ill-founded
conclusion that defeat Is Inevit-
able. This Is the Ideal set-up for
defeat, for once one sees defeat
as inevitable, It invariably en-
sues. However, if we endeavor
to retain our self-confidence and
make a sincere effort to view the
situation In its real light, rather
than from a pessimistic or
idealistic point of view, our
chances for success would be in-
creased, thus promoting our po-
tentialities.

The duration of our determ-
ination should be dependent
upon the relationship of the
value of expended efforts to the
value of the anticipated gain
through victory. Otherwise, the
value of our efforts may exceed
our victorious gain. Thus, we
have achieved a triumph that
could hardly be termed victor-
ious, and which might be termed
a "Pyrrhic Victory", which is a
triumph gained at too great a
cost.

What Happens
On The Hood

Isaiah Mclver

Only a small minority of the
students at any college in the
United Stales or any other coun-
try ever get the opportunity to
travel along with their football,
basketball or other teams when
they have games to play on the
road. If some of the staunch
supporters of the game of foot-
ball or basketball could see what
happens to the visiting team
they would lose all interest in a
game of basketball or football.

It Is quite evident that all of
the games can't be played in the
home stadium or on the home
court. However. In many of the
conferences it is almost impos-
sible to win a game on an op-
ponent's home court and the
only reason you can win a foot-
ball game away from home in
i Continued t<n Page 3)

I

For the first time since 1947,
the French National Assembly
elected a Socialist as premier.
Guy Mullet elected by an over-
whelming majority will head the
twenty-second postwar cabinet.
Needing the support of the Com-
munists to win, he stated that
no commitments had been made
nor would any be made to them.

Mollet called for peace in
North Africa where the French
have been engaged in combat
with Algerian rebels for months.
He called for more liberty and
Justice for the North Africans;
a modest social reform program
calling for the establishment of
an old-age fund and longer va-
cation; and changes in the con-
stitution and in the election sys-
tem.

The followers of P o u j a d e,
however, vigorously opposed
Mollet for the premiership.
Poujade in outlining his pro-
gram to his Deputies decreed
that they must turn over their
salaries to him. (Each deputy
makes about $600 a month). He
plans a revival of the old States-
General, a medieval body com-
posed of the clergy, the nobility
and the bourgeoisie. Poujade
promises that his Deputies will
rise at the proper time and de-
mand of the National Assembly
a modern States-General having
four classes : shopkeepers and
other trademen; farmers; em-
ployees; and the academic class.

This' writer wonders if the
French people will support Pou-
jade's proposal as he expects
of them. Even though the
French are desperate for a
chance that will stabilize their
government, making it more dif-
ficult for the Premier and his
cabinet to be their government,
making it more difficult for the
Premier and his cabinet to be
overthrown, only an idiot can
expect the people to accept such
a drastic change because it was
the States-General that caused
the uprising among the French
in 1789.

As one visits some cities I nthe United States, his attention is
often drawn to their orderliness and cleanliness. Wherever such
conditions are maintained one feels uplifted as he passes or pauses.
This same feeling of buoyancy shows itself in many types of situa-
tions and many different places. If a study is made of schools, the
extent to which the rooms and facilities are in order and clean be-
comes an Index of the type of teachers and pupils who study and
learn there. Dormitory rooms, assembly halls, lounging centers, and
play areas produce a similar feeling when they are neat, clean, and
orderly. Parking areas often indicate the thoughtfulness and the
extent to which habits of cleanliness have been generalized.

Students acquire habits in these areas in much the same way
that they acquire other kinds of learning. A student who arranges
his work in mathematics systematically and orderly does not be-
come confused when he reaches the problem area. Written and oral
expression also show evidences of system and order. There are no
areas in our school and school activities where system and order
will not improve the results which we hope to achieve. Individuals
who make up our school community can decide to create an inspir-
ing and beautiful college. As an institution achievement, it must
first be an individual achievement by those who study and work
here. Savannah State College should create an atmosphere which
makes learning and habit forming in the area of cleanliness and
orderliness increasingly enpoyable.

Negro History Week

Ruse M. Manigault

As we all know we celebrated
American Negro History Week
February 12-19. The story of the
American Negro began in Af-
rica, more specifically on the
West Coast, whence came most
of the slaves to the New World

Formal education of Negroes
in the United States began in
1865. As measured from this
s'arllng point the Negroes have
made tremendous educational
advances.

Viscount Bryce once said that
the American Negroes in the
first thirty years of his libera-
tion made greater advances than
was ever made by the Anglo-
Saxon in a similar period. Ly-
man Abbot stated "Never in the
history of man has a race made
such educational and material
progress in forty years as the
American Negro."

Ray Lyman Wilbur stated,
"There Is no more amazing pic-

the Middle East; exploiting peo-
ple everywhere by instigating
riots; and creating disturbances
and raising hell in general.

Is it peace that they really are
seeking? Are their actions in-
dicative of a nation seeking
peace when they go into a coun-
try and support demonstrations
against the friends of democ-
racy, and against the leaders
and people so that they may be-
come strangers in that nation?
The answe r is no ! It is not
peace but rather world domina-
tion the Communists seek. They
are trying to dominate the
world not as Napoleon, Hitler
and other dictators and warring
nations did by brutal strength
but by handshaking and stab-
bing a nation in the back at the
same time. It is a pity that they
ware not kicked out of the
United Nations when it was dis-
covered that the Russians were
providing the enemies of the
United Nations with arms even
though all nations are pledged
to the defense of the other na-
tions. The United Nations
should have a means of expell-
ing any member nation found
guilty of provoking uprisings.
Then th? Communist snake will
show its true color.

It is not to be forgotten that
Lenin remarked in 1918 that the
road to Paris leads through New
Delhi.

Once again Russia is portray-
ing the "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde" role.

Recently Bulgania submitted
through R u s s i a' s ambassador
George Zarubin an invitation to
the United States to join in a
twenty - year non - aggression
pact between the two countries.

President Eisenhower in re-
fusing this offer pointed out
that the treaty was already
covered by the charter of the
United Nations. He also pointed
out that the Communists have
refused to try to unify Germany
by free election and to permit
"open skies" inspection as a step
to non-aggression.

While Russia desires peace by
words, their actions indicate
otherwise. For the past years
they have provoked incidents of
conflicts all over the world. In
recent times they have been in-
vading the waters of Norway;
creating anti-West feelings in

ture in the history of education
than that presented by the
American citizen of the Negro
race.

Let us as Negroes keep striving
to make the future more suc-
cessful than our past. "As we
climb the ladder of progress let
our goals be to find success."

Paradise

By Isaiah Mclver

We shall meet above the stars
That shine in silent skies my

love.
Where only love and joy

are found
Far above the sorrowing seas,
Where love's tender words are

heard
And the songs of love forever

rise,
Where only we shall reign in jo"
Upon our thrones in paradise.
Afar from all shadows and

gloom,
Where mellow Acardy is known
And perfumed gardens of

flowers bloom,
Is where we'll be forever more
In love's eternal paradise.
The unblinking stars shall fill

the skies
And the birds will sing a tune

as sweet
As the harmonies from a

Heavenly choir
Shall lull our souls to paradise.

THE TIGERS ROAR

Former Student
Appointment At
Syracuse U.

Miss Ida Girvsn. graduate of
Savannah State College, captain
of its championship girls' bas-
ketball team and an all-around
student, is the cadet in charge
of the Library School at Syra-
cuse University, Syracuse, N. Y.
There are four assistants work-
ing with her. Miss Girven's ma-
jor was social science. She Is a
native of Amsterdam, Georgia
and had a three year basketball
scholarship at Savannah State
College.

The cadetships are the most
popular in the field of library
service. In cooperation with the
Cyracuse University Library, the
School of Library Science is en-
abled to appoint six graduate
students each year to post on
the library staff for a period of
two years. These cadets are per-
mitted to undertake studies in
the school to the amount of two
courses each in the fall and
spring term and one in the sum-
mer free of tuition charge. They
are engaged on a 30 hour basis
with a basic salary.

Eye For Eye

A small boy leading a donkey,
passed an army camp. A couple
of soldiers wanted to have some
fun with the lad.

"Why are you holding on to
your brother so tight, Sonny?"
said one of the soldiers.

"So he won't join the army,"
the youngster replied without
blinking an eye.

Campus Policy
Appointed

By Daniel Washington

The Office of Student Person-
nel Services is happy to an-
nounce the appointment of two
young men to the positions of
campus policemen. These young
men are Frank Chappel and Al-
bert King. It will be their duty
to direct auto control traffic
here on the campus. They will
also have the authority to act
as regular policemen in case of
emergencies.

Formation of the campus po-
lice has been for a long time a
part of the overall plans of the
President and college develop-
ment. These plans are being im-
plemented presently.

There are many benefits to
be had from the inauguration of
the traffic and safety program
throughout the commun-
ity. These benefits include the
personal protection of the stu-
dents, the faculty and staff and
many visitors we have on the
campus. The campus police will
also benefit the college and the
Civil Defense Program in the
immediate vicinity by participa-
tion in the Civil Defense evacua-
tion program.

The Savannah State College
family is asked to comply with
the rules and regulations that
have been set up by the campus
police. We need the complete
co-operation of each individual
student and faculty member in
carrying this program over.

What Happens On

{Continued from Page 2)
many instances is because the
visiting team is a great deal bet-
ter than home team.

In basketball more so than
football, it seems as though the
officials are out to give the visi-
tors a defeat. In many cases it
seems as though the officials are
given the numbers that the high
scoring players are to wear, and
when the game starts the offi-
cials start their cheating process
of calling traveling even when
the player isn't walking or they
will call fouls that haven't been
committed by the player whom
the referee tells to raise his
hands. These accusations sound
fantastic to those people who
never get the chance to travel
with their team. However, the
visiting team and the small
number of visiting students
know these aren't- accusations,
but facts.

On numerous occasions the
referee calls non - committed
fouls on the visiting team espe-
cially when the visitors are in
the lead so that the home team
will have a chance to tie the
score or take the lead. Crimes
of this sort on the part of offi-
cials are taking all of the life
out of some of our favorite
pastimes and if these criminals
who are out to win a game for
the home team aren't removed
from these key slots, the game
of basketball will soon become
something of the past.

If officials are going to keep
their unfair practices all inter-
est will be lost in these games.

Unless some of the people who
are in responsible positions start
doing something to correct these
practices in their areas, the
teams will only be able to win at
home, and if they do play away
from home, all of the life will
be out of the games because the
visitors will be of the opinion
that they are going to lose since
the home team will always have
seven players instead of the five
that are supposed to play in an
official game of basketball.

Off-Campus Women's
Association

By Emily Singleton

The Off-Campus Women's As-
sociation was formed by Miss
Jordon and is composed of all

Thunderbolt's
Centennial

By Olorin Moultrie

Many students traveling to
and from Savannah State Col-
lege by way of Thunderbolt,
have become accustomed to the
familiar Bonnets characteristic
of the middle lBOO's, worn by the
Indies ol this community, and
the men sporting their beards,
not because they want to; but
It's Just n matter of buying a li-
cense, for three dollars, or being
arrested by one of the lost an-
gles (policewoman). No resident
has been excused, the Mayor,
Chief of Police, along with the
clerk and the town aldermen,
are sporting their beards like-
wise.

As the celebration neaved
many of the residents took
their bonnets and beards as a
part of their dally routine.

The Town of Thunderbolt was
established about 1856, with the
commissioner type government.

Many residents give the fol-
lowing account of the town re-
ceiving its name: "a bolt of
lightning struck a rock causing
a spring to flow forth, near the
old casino. The Indians then
called it Thunderbolt."

In keeping with the celebra-
tion a number of events were
planned, which will include a
street parade, a carnival, mid-
way, bazzar, speedboat races,
and an address by the Governor
of Georgia.

A beard growing contest was
in progress; prizes were given
for the most unique beards, etc.

To highlight these festivities
a King and Queen were select-
ed from the younger set.

Otis Broek

By Isaiah Mclver

Otis Jerome ( Batman i Brock
Is a senior majoring in Social
Science and minoring in Physi-
cal Education. He Is scheduled
to graduate in June of this year.

His home town is Montezuma.
Georgia and he Is 6 feet 4 inches
worth of powerful, terrorizing
and explosive humanity on the
basketball court.

His basketball career began at
Macon County Training School
of Montezuma. The superb skill
which he demonstrated in the
tournaments in which he par-
ticipated in high school gained
him a reputation and a schol-

arship to play basketball at Sa-
vannah State,

Brock entered Savannah State
in the fall of 1952 and immed-
iately became one of the Tigers'
mainstays. His excellent offen-
sive and defensive playing was
one of the main reasons why Sa-
vannah State became conference
and tournament champions in
1952. In 1953 he reached his
pinacle in basketball- Aside
from being named as a member
of the All-Conference team, he
was also selected as the most
valuable player in the S.E.A.C.
He has been selected to the All-
Conference team for two con-
secutive years and he is a strong
contender for All - Conference
honors again this season.

Even though he has scored
thousands of points as a mem-
ber of the Tigers' basketball
team, has been selected to the
All-Conference team twice and
has been named the most valu-
able player in the conference
once, he considers being presi-
dent of Delta Eta Chapter of
Alpha Phi Alpha as the position
that he will cherish most.

Thirty-three is the highest
number of points that Brock has
been able to score this season.
He accomplished this feat
against Allen University on Feb-
ruary 11, in Wiley Gymnasium.
Last season he scored 36 points
against Fort Valley State Col-
lege.

Basketball is just one of the
sports in which Brock partici-
pates. In baseball he is Savan-
nah State's top pitcher. Football
is another sport that he plays
quite well, but he failed to ven-
ture into this area after he
entered Savannah State.

Upon graduation he plans to
enter Law School or become a
high school basfcetball coach.
He said that trie \e a u ti f ul
campus, the many exciting bas-
ketball and baseball games in
which he has participated have
helped to make these four years
enjoyable ones.

The Track Team

Savannah State's track team,
which has been conference
champions for the past four
years, has begun practice. This
season promises to be another
championship season for the
Tigers.

Along with such reliable
speedsters as L. J. McDaniels
and Anderson Kelly, the Tigers
have some very impressive high
school stars such as Cleveland
Holmes, the James boys. Sammy
White, James Wallace, Willie
Batchelor and Jewel Mitchell.
Mitchell has just returned from
the army arid Fort Benning's
championship 440 relay team.
With all of the former high
school stars, army stars and
those champs from last season,
the Tigers are going to be the
team this season.

ETERNITY CASE

The doctor's five-year-old an-
swered the call at the door.

"Is the doctor in?" inquired
the caller.

"No, sir."

"Have you any idea when he
will be back?"

"I don't know, sir. He went
out on an eternity case."

Don't write home for money-write Lucky Droodles!

Festival Set
For April

Religious Emphasis Week
March 27

Zetas Select Freshman of Year 1/

The Rho Beta Chapter of the
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority observed
its annual "Finer Womanhood
Week" during February 22-25
During this week there were ac-
tivities that this group sponsors
each year.

In their chapel program which
was held on February 23, Miss
Ruth Anderson of Jacksonville,
Fla. was the guest speaker. Miss
Anderson is the head nurse at
Brewster Hospital and a grad-
uate of Florida A & M University
School of Nursing. She is also
Affiliated with the Alpha Beta
Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority of Jacksonville. Florida.
She spoke on the subject "Learn
to Live and Live to Learn". Ed-
ward B. Law of Savannah fur-

nished the music for the pro-
gram.

Following the address and the
selections, the "Freshman girl
of the year" was selected. Eu-
dora Moore was the freshman
selected from the group of con-
testants that was composed of
Gladystene Thomas. Lucile Mit-
chell, Eudora Moore and Marie
Roberts. Yvonne Hooks was
cited during the program for be-
ing the freshman girl with the
highest average during the fall
quarter 1955.

Each of the contestants,
Misses Hooks, Harrison, Ander-
son, Miss Anne Jordan and
members of the Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority ate lunch in the college
dining hall after the program.

Prince Frank Wynn has been
selected as chairman for the
Ninth Annual Men's Day Festi-
val. George B. Williams, Jr., Is
the assistant chairman, Isaiah
Aloysius Mclver is the general
secretary and Oliver Vincent
Swaby is the assistant secretary.

The date for the festival has
not been selected, but the event
will take place during the spring
quarter.

Last year, Dr. M. Gordon
Brown, the assistant Chancelor
of the University System of
Georgia, opened the festival
with an address to the entire
student body. The names of the
principal speakers for this year
have not been announced.

A theme hasn't been selected
for the festival, but a great deal
of emphasis will be placed on
promoting good human rela-
tions.

Last year over 100 awards
were made and 75 per cent of
these awards went to Louis
Ford, Richard Washington and
Henry Jackson. Many of the
freshmen say that the story of
last year's Men's Day Festival
will have no bearing on this
year's festival. They say that
they are not going to win all of
the medals, but they are going to
make sure that the Freshman
class wins the majority of the
awards.

During the week there will be
a radio or television program, a
banquet, religious activities, a
social, a talent show, softball.
basketball, volleyball, touch foot-
ball and many other athletic ac-
tivities.

The part of the festival that
keeps everyone on pins and
needles is the vesper program
where the students are an-
nounced who have been selected
as "Men of the Year". Three
students were selected last year.
They were Clarence Lofton, Cur-
tis Cooper and George Johnson.

"The Role of Religion In Edu-
cation" will be discussed and em-
phasized thoroughly when Re-

ThcF ih Mr

By Isaiah Molvcr

The majority of all college stu-
dents are quite familiar with the

I luce R's that they have been

facing nil through their ele-
mentary studies, one of the pri-
mary reasons that they have
become familiar with these three
R's Is bocause these are the basic
and essential ingredients that all
students must master or become
fnmltlar with before they can at-
tain any degree of success In the
field Hi 1 education or any other
technical urea,

However, the fourth R is Just
as Important to the student as
the mi her three, it is true that
Students need Instructions In
reading so that they could read
the great Classics, they need to
know hOW to write In order to
write n dissertation should they
decide to study for a doctorate
and in order for them to solve
problems In calculus they need
to lie familiar with the basic
fundamentals of mathematics.

However, alter (lie student Is
taught to read and to under-
stand a Greek classic, write a
research project or solve a math
problem, he thinks that he has
accomplished everything.

A learner may have accomp-
lished a great deal when he has
come to master the three R's,
but when he get.s involved In sit-
uations that only a miracle man
can solve, he forgets those three
R's and reaches back for the
fourth, Religion.

In some colleges, religion Is
playing a minor role. The reason
why religion seems so unattract-
ive to such a considerable num-
ber of college students, is a prob-
lem that college chaplains have
been trying to solve for many
years,

A large number of the colleges
and universities are not permit-
ted to place as much emphasis
on tlie fourth R as they are al-
lowed to place on the other three
R's. However, this lone factor is
not tlie primary reason why stu-
dents fail to support their re-
ligious programs in colleges.

If those who profess Christian-
ity would rededicate themselves
to the faith that they affirm, the
college chapels and churches
would be filled every worship
day with our leaders of tomor-
row.

The role that religion will play
in a student's education will be
determined by the individual
student. Tlie administrators of
the various colleges are spending
the student's activity fees to
bring prominent religious and
educational leaders to the var-
ious campuses for Religious Em-
phasis Week and other occasions,
but until the students rededicate
themselves and pledge to share a
portion of their time for
religious services, religion will
continue to play a subordinate
role to reading, writing and
arithmetic in our colleges and
universities.

A Student's Prayer

Author Unknown

V

Father God . . . May the fluor-
escent lamp be my burning can-
dle, the desk my altar.

May these days as a student
become a stewardship of myself.

May I give myself to the busi-
ness of scholarship, becoming a
careful workman for thee.

May college not become a mere
preparation for life and a voca-
tion, but life and vocation them-
selves, meaningful and whole.

Grant that I may see as sacri-
ficial, my study, not for my own'
glory, but to thy greater glory.

I would learn the essential
things well. I would desire to be
of real service to the world, to
see fame with cool eyes, and
failure without fear of reputa-
tion.

Recreate me sensitive to the
great problems of mankind, to
know great minds and invoke
great principles.

Lead me to treat task with the
courage to put away childish
things and be filled with great
thoughts.

May the awareness of debt to
parents, friends and society for
the cost of education, make an
humble man of me.

Encourage and refresh me
when I come to think of my
work as boresome, drawn out
and unproductive.

Strengthen me, father, as a

faithful student of thy word, to

answer thee, for thou hast called

me into thy service as a learner.

Amen

The time is rapidly approach-
ing when the delegates to the
National Republican and Demo-
cratic Conventions will gather
and select their respective party
banner bearer.

Members of the Republican
party have been in somewhat of
a dilemma prior to President
Eisenhower's announcement of
his decision to accept the nomi-
nation if he Is renominated, but
since his statement to the na-
tion there Is little doubt as to
who will be the Republican nom-
inee. There is a question, how-
ever, as to the nominee for the
vice-presidency.

President Elsenhower did not
endorse Mr. Richard Nixon as a
possible running mate. However
he praised Nixon and stated that
It was traditional for the vice
presidential nominee to be de-
cided after the presidential
nomination was made.

A poll of 112 Republican party
leaders by the Associated Press
revealed that 32 per cent were
in favor of Vice President Nixon
as the vice presidential nominee.
Another nine per cent were for
Nixon if Eisenhower wants him.
Less than three per cent were
for someone else.

President Eisenhower is now
entered in primaries in eight
states and Alaska which will
have a total of 340 votes in the
1,323 vote convention. It is ex-
pected that "Ike" will receive an
additional 56 votes from Ohio's
primary where Senator Bricker,
"a favorite son", favors Eisen-
hower. Senator Knowland of
California has withdrawn from
those primaries where it is not
too late to withdraw. He too
favors Eisenhower.

California's Governor Goodwin
J. Knight suggested to Demo-
cratic leaders that they could
become "giants in American po-
litical history" by supporting
President Eisenhower in the
forthcoming election. He said
that there are many Democratic
leaders who "placed patriotism
above partisan politics" to sup-
port Abe Lincoln in his bid for a
second term during the War
Between the States. He lauded
President Eisenhower as the
"best man qualified to lead our
country and the nations of the
free world."

This statement concerning
President Eisenhower's qualifi-
cations is supported by the eco-
nomic progress of the nation. It
was interesting to note the
changes on the stock market
when the world learned of the
President's heart attack and the
changes when he announced his
capability to accept the Repub-
lican nomination.

It would truly be a memorable
event if leaders of both parties
placed patriotism above partisan
politics. Our political leaders
should begin to think in terms of
the things that will benefit the
nation as a whole rather than
the party's appeal to the voters.

Governor Knight's attitude is
one that should be adopted by
many more of our nation's lead-
ers.

As for the Democratic party.
there are two likely prospects
for the nomination at this time.
Both Senator Estes Kefauver
and Adlai E. Stevenson are en-
tered in six state primaries and
Alaska. However they will clash
in only four states: New Hamp-

shire, first in the nation on
March 13; Minnesota, on March
20; Florida, and California. In
addition. Stevenson Is entered
in the primaries of Hlinois and
Pennsylvania while Kefauver is
entered in New Jersey and Wis-
consin.

Letter Written

By J

mi-

The following is a copy of a
letter, written by our Saviour,
Jesus Christ, found eighteen
miles from Inconium, forty- five
years after our Blessed Saviour's
Crucifixion; transmitted from
the Holy City by a converted
Jew, faithfully translated from
its original Hebrew copy, now in
possession of the Lady Cuba's
family in Mesopoamia. This let-
ter was written by Jesus Christ,
and found under a great stone,
both round and large, at the foot
of the cross, eighteen miles from
Inconium, near a village called
Mesopotamia. Upon the stone
was written, or engraved,
"Blessed is He That Turneth Me
Over". People who saw it prayed
to God earnestly, and desired He
would make known to them the
meaning of this writing, that
they might not attempt in vain
to turn it over. In the meantime,
a little child turned it over with-
out any help to the shame of all
that stood by.
The Letter;

"Whosoever worketh on the
Sabbath Day shall be cursed. I
command you to go to church,
and keep the Lord's Day holy,
without doing any manner of
work.

"You shall not idly spend your
time in bedecking yourself with
any superfluities of costly ap-
parel and vain dresses, for I
have ordained a day of rest. I
will have that day kept holy,
that your sins may be forgiven
you. You shall not break My
commandments, but observe and
keep them, written with My own
hand, and spoken with My own
mouth. You shall not only go
to church yourself, but also your
men and maid servants, and ob-
serve My words and learn My
commandments. You shall fin-
ish your labor every Saturday in
the afternoon by six o'clock, at
which hour the preparations of
the Sabbath begins. I advise you
to fast five Fridays in every
year, beginning with Good Fri-
day, and to continue the four
Fridays immediately following.
in remembrance of the four
bloody wounds I received for all
mankind. You shall diligently
and peacably labor in your re-
spective callings wherein it hath
pleased God to call you. You
shall love one another and in so
doing, I will give you a long life,
and many blessings; your lands
shall flourish, and your cattle
shall bring forth in great abund-
ance; and I will give you many
blessings and comforts in the
greatest temptations; and he
that doth the contrary, shall be
unprofitable I will also send a
hardness of heart upon them as
I see them, but especially upon
the impenitent unbelievers. He
that hath given the poor shall
not be unprofitable.

"Remember to keep holy the
Sabbath day for the seventh day
I have taken to rest Myself; and
he that hath a copy of this let-
ter, written with My own hand,
and spoken with My own mouth,
and keepeth it without publish-
ing it to others, shall not pros-
per; but he that publishes it to
others shall be blessed of men;
and though his sins be in num-
ber as the stars in the sky. and
he that believes in this will be
pardoned and if he believes not
this writing and commandments,
I will send many plagues upon
him. and consume him and his
children and his cattle.

"And whosoever shall have a
copy of this letter, written with
My own hand and keep it in
their houses, nothing shall hurt

them, neither pestilence, light-
ning, nor thunder shall do them
any hurt. And if a woman be
with child and in labor, and a
copy of this letter be about her,
and she firmly puts her trust in
Me, she shall be delivered of
her birth.

"You shall have no news of
Me, but by the Holy Scriptures,
until the day of judgment.

"All goodness and prosperity
shall be on the house where a
copy of this, My letter, shall be
found."

Respectfully submitted,

Louis Hill Pratt. '58

On Solitude

By J. Campbell, Jr.

Few have ever experienced the
joys and delights of blissful soli-
tude. To these precious few
moments of solitude are the
most rewarding moments that
life has to offer. For only then
is the manifestation of being
clearly and distinctly revealed.
It Is during these solitary mo-
ments that one gains fleeting
and evanescent glimpses into
life's ultimate purpose.

At night when the cacophonies
of the day have subsided a soli-
tary walk through the woods, in
the field, or along the water-
front, fills one's soul with an
infinite degree of worth. The
omnipresent feeling of one's in-
significance in this vast universe
is cast aside. A blithe awareness
of one's dignity and of one's re-
lationship to the birds, to the
trees and flowers indeed, to all
of nature is revealed. Without
losing one's identity, one's self
is amalgamated with nature.
Time ceases. So profound is this
fusing of one's self with nature
till a vague and nebulous cons-
ciousness of existence since time
immemorial is experienced in
the inner being.

Solitude brings to one an im-
mense feeling of insouciance.
There is a dispensation of weari-
ness, anxiety, and worry. Pres-
ent doubts and future fears
vanish. The body and the soul
are free from all concern. The
splendor and grandeur of the
magnificent universe engulf one
with awe. Only in the midst of
these solitary moments does one
experience true happiness with
life.

Such are the rewards of soli-
tude. But few precious few
will ever reap its rewards. The
price of solitude is loneliness.
Too dear a price for most, be-
cause they have not yet learned
t.o live with themselves.

Nine Tigers Say
Goodbye

When the final buzzer sound-
ed in the championship games
that were played between Sa-
vannah State and Albany State
College's boys and girls it meant
more than a 38-34 victory for
Savannah State's girls and a
74-72 defeat for the Savannah
State boys.

\yfhis final signal meant that
Savannah State was losing 9 of
the best basketball players that
have ever performed on a bas-
ketball court for the Tigers.
Minnie Kornegy, Gwendolyn
Keith, Rosa Lee Moore, Edith
Ray and Gladys Reddicks have
played their final game with the
Tigerettes and Otis Jerome
Brock, Daniel Nicholas. L. J.
Daniels, E. Z. McDaniels and
Richard Washington are saying
goodbye to the Tigers squad.

All of these graduating Tiger-
ettes and Tigers were members
of their high school basketball
teams and several of them have
been selected to the all confer-
ence teams at least once during
their college careers.

In 1950 this Press Institute is
endorsed by the Georgia Inter-
scholastic Association was or-
ganized as a local project, but
because of increased interest,
the participation now includes
schools throughout the state of
Georgia, and nationally famous
consultants. The Institute was
organized to encourage student
publications, to extend their in-
fluence, to raise their standards,
to promote the belief that they
are means of education and not
an end in themselves, to con-
sider them as media of expres-
sion for the best in thought and
writing, to foster a sympathetic
understanding between advisors,
the administration of schools
and the community, to aid those
who are in need of assistance,
and to serve as a clearing house
for all matters that are of mu-
tual interest.

The press institute is a mem-
ber of the National Council of
Scholastic Press and Advisors
Association as well as a member
of the Columbia Scholastic Press
Association. Wilton C> Scott is
the director of the Institute and
various members of the faculty
will serve as co-ordinators.

Top Cookie Pushers

According to a recent survey
that was taken on the campus at
the beginning of this month, the
following students have been
seen pushing more cookies
(holding hands) than any other
students on the campus at Sa-
vannah state College.

Since this Is Leap Year, it has
been rather hard for the rating
committee to decide who Is
pushing who. However, they
agreed that Charles Ashe seems
to be pushing harder than ever.
However, Unlce Lasslter Is trying
to take the advantage. It seems
as though Wright and his girl
have heard the record "Chang-
ing Partners" too much.
Nevertheless they are still push-
ing. James Freeman and David
Phllson are due some special
recognition. Jewel Mitchell and
his home boy, Willie Batchelor,
aren't wasting any time. Daniel

Nicholas seems to be more fortu-
nate than John Arnold who is
trying to make a strong come-
back. Andrew Russell, Wilbert

Nursery School

The Nursery School at Savan-

The teaching of academic sub-
jects is not the primary aim of
the school. At this school the
foundation is laid for the three
R's. However, subject matter
isn't taught until the child es-
tablishes good relationships with
his teacher and his group.

T^tle Conference
March 29-30

By Roosevelt J. Williams

On March 29-30, Savannah
State College will sponsor the
Sixth Georgia Youth Industrial
Education Association Trade
Contest Conference. Accom-
panied by their instructors, ap-
proximately 200 boys and girls
from high schools throughout
the state of Georgia are expected
to be present at Savannah State
to compete for the many per-
formance awards.

Competitive performance tests
will be held in auto mechanics,
barbering. brick masonry, car-
pentry, leather craft, mechanical
drawing, shoe repairing, plaster-
ing, tailoring and practical
nursing. There will also be DCT
essay writing and DCT oratorical
contests.

Last year a new phase was
added to the Industrial Arts
Contest. Students presented
projects that were to be judged
which they had made in their
schools. This will also be an out-
standing feature of this year's
contest.

For the participants of the

i<- Origin of Men's

Day

Ity Isaiah Mclver

Savannah State College spon-
sored its Ilrst Men's Day Festi-
val in April of 1948. This pro-
ject which wiis designed to pro-
mote liner manhood through
constructive activities of all
types, came Into being as a re-
sult of the untiring efforts of
Henry A, Johnson who was serv-
ing as president of the Hill Hall
Dormitory Council and Harrison
Miller who served as chairman
of the planning committee,

Until 1950 the festivals were
sponsored by the members of
Hill Hall Dormitory and other
Interested male students. Since
this event became so popular,
the male students decided to
select a committee, composed of
men from each Campus Organ-
ization to arrange and prepare
programs (or the event. Mem-
bers of the faculty and certain
staff members were also Invited
in serve on committees and par-
ticipate in the athletic events,
Because of the cooperation that
has been given this project, all
of the participants derive great

Joy and benefits from this an-
nual affair.

Since 1952. awards have been
given to the "Man of the Year"
for excellence of character, ef-
fective leadership, and out-
standing contributions to the
school community.

In 1948 when the festival had
Its beginning, there were only
four events and the program
lasted only two days. The ac-
tivities that were sponsored dur-
ing this initial attempt were:
a softball tournament, a track
and field meet, a banquet and
a vesper program. Since then
this program has steadily grown
and now It covers seven days
of varied activities. Each year
an elaborate array of artistic,
social, educational, religious, and
cultural events are sponsored by
the men of Savannah State Col-
lege.

The primary aim of the fes-
iival Is to help prepare men to
shoulder many of the staggering
responsibilities and grave chal-
lenges of the age and culture In
which they live

Line Crashing

Johnny Campbell, Jr.

It is doubtful if any normal
person enjoys standing in lines
even pay lines. Lines are dis-
gusting to stand In and everyone
endeavors as much as possible
to avoid them. But In many in-
stances they are absolutely nec-
essary to perform a particular
job in the most efficient and
orderly manner. The Intelligent
person realizes this and though
he retains an aversion to lines,
in time he learns to bear them.

Registration is an instance
where lines are indispensable
for the performing of the huge
task involved. Judging however
from the childish conduct and
attitude of many students on
our campus during registration,
it seems as though this elemen-
tal truth has never occurred to
them. These students hold the
belief, which is due partly to
an exaggerated sense of self-
importance and partly to lazi-
ness, that lines are only for
others to stand in. They devote
considerable time, energy, and
effort to the devising of ingen-
ious methods by which they can
"crash" the lines. It is indeed
regrettable that such diligence
is not devoted to the academic

aspect of college life. If it were,
the results would be most re-
warding.

The "line-crashers" contribute
much to the general confusion
encountered at registration.
Much delay in the movement of
the line can be directly attribu-
ted to their constantly breaking
of the line by such tactics as
persuading a friend to let them
in, or by pushing their way
ahead of others. The end result
Is the creation of disturbance
and unrest among those students
who are standing patiently and
intelligently in line awaiting
their turn. And the relative ease
In which the "line-crashers" are
allowed to pursue their unfair
practices has a contagious ef-
fect on others. Many who would
not otherwise resort to such tac-
tics do so, precisely because they
can get away with it.

No amount of pleading to the
"line-crasher's" sense of Tight-
ness will be enough to cause
him to mend his ways. This type
of person has no conception of
fairness and shows no consider-
ation for others. Obviously, what
is needed is closer supervision
of the registration lines by some-

The
Periscope

^

Much of the trouble around
the world today is due to the im-
perialistic policies of certain na-
tions and the Communists who
are constantly stirring up trou-
ble everywhere.

The British have been suffer-
ing one setback after another in
many of thir colonial strong-
holds. Their present hot spot is
Greece, where the people are
crying for self-detehmination.

Only recently new violence has
flared out because of the execu-
tion of two Cyprlots by the Brit-
ish Government. Angry Greeks
rioted against the United States
and Great Britain The crowd
shattered windows in the build-
ing housing the United States
Information Agency whose func-
tion is to seek improvement of
understanding among the West-
ern Allies

The United States, morally
supporting the Greeks' fight for
self-government, suggested in-
formally that the British spare
the life of the two men who were
called terrorists by the British,
but all appeals were rejected.

France's Resident Minister,
Robert Lacoste, was granted spe-
cial powers last March to put
down rebellion in Algeria. He
since has asked for reinforce-
ments to bring his forces up to
380,000 troops. Due to the spring
offensive of the Nationalist
rebel, Lacoste has placed martial

one with authority. Perhaps the
humiliation of being publicly
ejected from the line and placed
at the end where he rightfully
belongs would be sufficient
treatment to eliminate the
"crashing" of lines. At any rate,
some measure is needed to pro-
tect those students who watch
helplessly, while some self-
styled V.I.P. "crashes" the line
and finishes his registration
first.

However there will be those stu-
dents who will fail to see the
good features of Greek Letter
Organizations. Those students
who are not thinking of the va-
rious organizations will be
thinking more strongly on how
the candidates qualify who are
trying to secure such positions
as student council president or
campus queen.

Those students who are in the
process of trying to decide what
organization to join have a more
serious problem than those who
are trying to select the best in-
dividuals to positions that last
only one year. Greek letter or-
ganizations are going to be a
part of those students who join
for a life time and when they
make their decisions these
choices should be free of per-
suasion from any particular
group since they will have to
live forever with the group that
is chosen.

The average student should
be in a position to make his own
decisions A person with average
intelligence should consider it
an insult for someone to tell
him what group or organization
Is best for him. The person who
tells an individual that he
should join a particular group is
merely telling the person that
he is incapable of thinking.
Since ail college students should
be able to think and make de-
cisions, it is a sign that we are
misplaced when we allow peo-
ple to persuade us to think or
act in a certain manner

The path to Greekdom is tir-
ing, rugged, and in many cases,
seems discouraging. To suc-
cessfully travel the path and
reach the destination one has
to really cherish the goal.

There are some students who
never cherish sororities or fra-
ternities. However, in many in-
stances those students who are
not in love with Greek letter or-
ganization and the Greeks are
all concerned about who will be
the campus queen or the leader
of the student government.

The person who is selected
queen and the individual who
is elected to represent the stu-
dent government are going to
be our choices of the most cap-
able people eligible for these po-
sitions.

Since these people after they
are elected are going to be our
leaders for the coming year, we
should select those candidates
for these top roles who impress
us as individuals who will rep-
resent us best and work for the
best interest of the students
and the school.

In making decisions the fresh-
men are not the only students
who are eligible to vote and
make certain choices. The
sophomores, trade students, jun-
iors and seniors are responsible
for selecting students to repre-
sent us who can serve well in
the positions that they will be
selected to fill.

A Season for Decisions

Isaiah Mclver

During the spring quarter at
Savannah State and at thou-
sands of other institutions of
higher learning throughout the
United States, the beginning
students who are commonly re-
ferred to as freshmen are grant-
ed the opportunity for the first
time during their college ca-
reers to make choices and de-
cisions that will affect them from
one year to a lifetime.

There will be those students
who will be trying to decide what
sorority or fraternity to join.

Creative Tribute
Music

It's some intangible thing,

With melodious magic that fills
the air

To many it thrills the inward
soul

Renews the spirit of those in
despair.

To the throubled mind it's so
serene

To the rejoicing heart it's glad

It appeals to the emotions of
every heart

To some though, the appeal is
only sad

A song, a dream, or a prayer

Or other ways too enormous to
name

Through the ways of expres-
sions, it changes not

The intrinsic appeal still re-
mains.

To some people it's Handel,
Mozart, Chopin

Gwendolyn (BB) Keith

By Isaiah A. Mclver

When the Tigerettes defeated
Albany State College 38-34 in
the final game of the S.E.A.C.
Tourney at Savannah State, one
of the best basketball players
that the Savannah State Tiger-
ettes have ever produced was
performing for the last time
on the Savannah State College
court.

Gwendolyn 'BBj Keith who is
doing her student teaching at
Powell Laboratory School this
quarter has been named to the
all-conference team for four con-
secutive years and she has been
named the most valuable girl
player in the S.E.A.C. conference
twice (1955 and 1956).

Miss Keith is a native of Jack-
sonville, Florida. She attended
Stanton High School of the same
city. While attending Stanton,
she played varsity basketball
for two years, softball for three
years, marched with the school
drill team, was a member of the
honor society, and in 1952 she
graduated from high school with
honors.

Upon graduating from high
school Miss Keith began matri-
culating at Savannah State Col-
lege. She is scheduled to grad-
uate in June of this year with
a B. S. degree in Elementary
Education and Physical Educa-
tion.

Aside from playing basketball
for four years, Miss Keith has
served as B a s i 1 e u s of Rho
Beta Chapter of the Zeta
Phi Beta Sorority, a member of
the Collegiate Counsellors, sec-
retary of the Education Depart-
ment, and chairman of the Ten-
nis Clinic at Savannah State.

Gwendolyn says that she is
a lover of all sports except soc-
cer. Upon successfully complet-
ing her course of study at Sa-
vannah State, she plans to teach
or coach high school basketball

E. K. Williams

At the convention. Mr. John-
son participated on a panel
which had as its theme, "The
Role of the Scholar in Im-
proving Human Relations." Mr.
Johnson stated, "It Is a far I
that in our country we tend to
class ourselves according to
socio-economic status and na-
tionality. Therefore, it is a role
of the scholar to search out some
of the basic causes underlying
the reasons for these actions and
present them to the general pub-
lic. Scholars must live among
the people and present their
ideas to the people, must read
all information with regard to
human relations and pass It on
to the general public."

Dr. E. K. Williams was re-
elected to the National Executive
Committee in Baltimore.

The next convention will be
the regional of which Mr. John-
son is president. It will be held
at Benedict College in Columbia,

Moore, the 38-year-old light
heavyweight champion, still
ranks as Rocky's number one
contender because of his show-
ing against The Rock in their
bout last year, But it Is doubtful
that Marclano and Moore will be
matched again. The champion-
ship was Marelano's all the way.

Best bet to beat Marclano
comes with Floyd Patterson In
1057, writes Pazdur. Patterson,
21, copped the 1052 Middleweight
Olympics championship and is
the top light-heavyweight con-
tender.

"Once Patterson has won the
crown," predicts Pazdur, "he
should wear It for a long time."

Archie Moore rules the roost
of the light-heavyweights- Top
challengers are Floyd Patterson
and Harold Johnson, but Pat-
terson's managers, already look-
ing toward a match with Mar-
clano, are not expected to throw
their boy against Moore.

The most promising newcomer
to the llght-hcavywelght ranks,
says Pazdur, Is Willie Pastrano.
Because Johnson and Bob Sat-
terfleld have been beaten by
Moore and because Patterson Is
being held to challenge The
Rock, Pastrano may be pushed

into a title fight with Moore
prematurely.

Sugar Ray Robinson made a
remarkable comeback and de-
feated "Bobo" Olson in the sec-
ond round of their Dec. 9 mid-
dleweight title bout

The Robinson-Olson rematch
will be a "honey" says the PLAY-
BOY article. If Sugar Ray loses,
he'll almost certainly retire. But
whichever fighter wins, he can
look for trouble from Eduardo
Lausse, the hard-hitting South
American.

The welterweight title has
changed hands three times In
the past year and a half. Johnny
Saxton won it from Kid Gavllan
and lost It to Tony DeMarco.
But Saxton, after several impres-
sive wlctorles, seems the next
logical contender.

Wallace "Bud" Smith success-
fully defended his lightweight
title against three-times ex-
champ Jimmy Carter. But Car-
ter Is now past his peak, Ralph
Dupa.s and Duillo Loi are the
only fighters with any chance of
upsetting Wallace.

Sandy Saddler, featherweight
champion, has a record of 143
wins and only 15 losses. Former
champion Willie Pet is still
fighting, but poses no threat
to Saddler who should hold his
title for a few more years. Sad-
dler's most promising contender
Is 21-year-old Carmelo Costa,

Apathy Among Our Students

Apathy Is a feeling which
exists among far too many
students on our campus. Their
Indifference is manifested In vlr-
tually every phase of college life
that is not concerned with the
trifle or satiated with foolish-
ness. Not only are these stu-
dents apathetic towards ac-
tivities pertaining to college, but
they show the profoundesL lack
of Interest to state, national, and
International affairs.

They fiaunt their Indifference
about by not attending Impor-
tant meetings, going to class late
and unprepared, or more con-
spicuously by not going at all.
In the same manner to which
absent-mindedness is Identified
with genius and professors, so to
these students Is indifference
associated with the "sophisticat-
ed" student. Not knowing nor
caring about what Is taking
place on the campus, or in the

world Is a "mark of distinction"
which too many of us are striv-
ing to achieve.

Apathy can only lead to one
thing ignorance. Today num-
erous social and economical
changes are constantly taking
place. It Is sheer folly for any-
one, especially students, to re-
main unaware of them simply
because they are seemingly, of
no Interest to them, It is ex-
tremely difficult to contemplate
how u student can regard him-
self as receiving an education
while remaining apathetic to
that which he is being taught
and to those changes that are
occurring dally in the world.

Let's hope that the present
wave of apathy Is merely a fad
like "rock and roll" music and
that In time it will pass away
without having harmed us too
much.
/

Do We Have a Disciplinary Committee

Before students were sent
home for certain violations of
the college rules, they once had
to go before the Disciplinary
Committee. However, several
students have been sent home
this school term for certain vio-
lations without even being given
this opportunity. Ine some of
the cases, the Disciplinary Com-
mittee was not consulted.

It is possible that those stu-
dents In this group, who were
denied the privilege of appear-
ing before the Committee, were
unaware that such a body oper-
ated on the campus.

It Is evident that the students
who were sent home are not the
only persons who do not know
that such a committee exists.

If the students stand by and
fall to demand the privileges
that they are supposed to enjoy,
there will always be those who
will play the role of dictators
and demand that the students
do what they consider proper.

America Is supposed to be
governed by democratic individ-
uals who abide by the principles
that are characteristic of a
Democracy.

The students know when their
rights have been Infringed upon,
but the Idea of being expelled or
unpopular with the members of
the faculty prevent them from
reminding those in authority
that their thinking may have
serious flaws.

Since the Disciplinary Com-
mittee is composed of students

and faculty members, it only
stands to reason that Judgment
passed by this group is more
sound than the decision handed
down by a single individual or a
small group of Individuals.

If a group that Is organized to
perform a certain function in a
certain manner does not operate
when It is necessary for It to op-
erate, the organization should
be discontinued or reorganized.
Since the committee has been
unaware of the happenings this
term, they should be informed
and made to perform the duties
for which It was organized,

Each organization has a spe-
cific role to play. Certain deci-
sions cannot be made by two or
three Individuals. In our society
Important decisions are made by
a representative group.

Representation was one of the
factors that aided in the delay
of the adoption of our constitu-
tion. The Disciplinary Commit-
tee is composed of a representa-
tive group. Since this commit-
tee is representative of the col-
lege, the students should prefer
that this body prform the job
for which it was organizd.

Students are familiar with the
rules governing certain issues.
They know when they have vio-
lated a law and most of them do
not mind suffering the conse-
quences. However, when they
suffer, they want their penalties
presented from the proper
source.

Greeks and Value

I- Mclver

According to the Student
Handbook, the president of the
College's Young Men's Christian
Association and the President of
any of the sororities or fraterni-
tlcs receive five points each for

ervlng In these capacities. All
of these organizations stress
brotherhood and sisterhood.
However, many students place
more value or emphasis on their
fraternities or sororities than on
any other organization to which
they belong.

This added amount of value
and emphasis which Is placed on
Greek Letter Organizations is
and has been one of the major
reasons why certain Jobs are not
performed eflclently by capable
Individuals.

The Instant that we are a
member of organization X, we
begin to feel that organization
X Is the only group that has in-
dividuals who are capable of
performing certain important
tasks, even though the weakest
member of organization A may
be superior to the top man in or-
ganization X.

Most fraternity and sorority
members are aware of the fact
that some links of a chain are
weaker than others. Being
aware of this. It Is impossible for
them to fail to realize that even
though the members of their
particular group are brothers or
sisters, some are not capable of
performing the duties that are
connected with particular jobs.

They realize that some of the
individuals that they support
are not qualified for certain po-
sitions. However, their pettiness
and affiliation prevent them
from doing what Is proper.

Sororities and fraternities are
great organizations. They pro-
vide a home away from home
and give its members a feeling
of belonging. They also sponsor
many social and educational ac-
tivities for their members and
non-members. The members
compete among themselves.

Competition is a great thing
when it is used wisely. However,
on many college campuses, com-
petition among the Greeks tends
to be more detrimental than
beneficial.

It is only natural for a mem-
ber of a particular group to ad-
mire it and strive for its perfec-
tion. However, our admiration
should not be the only basis upon
which we base our decisions and
choices.

Message From The President

Service to Humanity

By Carter Peek

This motto, selected by the
senior class of 1956. is indeed one
deserving attention and elabora-
tion. Just what does it mean to
serve humanity?

Ever since man first put
forth his hand to partake of the
fruit of the tree called "knowl-
edge of good and evil," it has
been his lot to toil and turn for
subsistance. Yet, an open door
was left for man to decide how
It should be attained. This deed
also caused man to be placed on
a road that has only one end
and that is unforeseeable. As
man walks down the long and
scroggy pathway, who will be
there to give him advice, show
him how to read the road signs,
how to add the mileage, and
take the wisest steps?

Seeing and knowing man's
lasting duty which is unavoid-
able one need not go far or study
wide to appreciate assistance, a
well performed job or good deed.
Man's duty is being constantly
lessened by modern advance-
ments, but without someone's
willingness to serve, much would
be missed.

"Service to Humanity" should
not be taken lightly. This motto
embodies many things, some of
which to state would be but a
trifle, but to go about fulfilling
will present varying problems
One for example is that of tak-

Duties and Responsibilities

College students often find it difficult to develop and establish
comprehensive concepts of their duties and responsibilities as citi-
zens of a college community. In many instances, their sole concern
is centered about earning academic grades, particularly the passing
grade. Beyond that point they feel that they should exercise the
privilege of irresponsibility.

The tremendous effort which college officials make to keep
buildings and grounds in first-class condition Indicates how little
assistance Is given to these items. This same frame of mind extends
also to other phases of students' college life. The lackadaisical man-
ner In which they assume responsibility and participate in then-
own organization, provides evidence of this undeveloped area. The
responsibilities of students lie in other areas than attending class
and paying their bills promptly. The students who consider these as
their chief duties and responsibilities reduce the value of their col-
lege education to a bare minimum College activities and student
organizations constitute a large percentage of the available educa-
tional opportunities in any institution. In almost every college the
class organizations, clubs, societies, special Interest groups, and
teams provide unusual opportunities for one to educate himself in
working and living with others.

The alarming lack of interest noted in the adult population in
community activities is being increased by students returning from
college. It is fallacious to think that interest in community life and
affairs will blossom in them once they have received their degrees.
The habits of thinking, working, and participation formed by stu-
dents In college will be influential in the determination of their
roles beyond the college walls. The trend to include interest, wishes,
and participation of youth in all aspects of our society is increasing
the demand for individuals who are concerned about total com-
munity welfare and advancement. Opportunities to learn how to
participate properly and effectively are numerous in student organ-
izations and the more or less formal groups found on a college
campus. Such a concept emphasizes the participation of all students
in several activities in addition to those that have been established
as traditions.

ing a leadership position and
realizing the harm that can be
done through slight errors. How
about the teacher . . .does he
with a class of 30 students con-
sider the value of each student,
and his individual weakness-
es? Does he make sure that the
student has been exposed to the
right kind of material, or does
he just "fall in line"? It is quite
easy to follow the crowd, but
with this motto it might be
sometimes necessary to take dif-
ferent courses.

The attempt to serve human-
ity calls for continued prepara-
tion and added skills to face
ever-changing problems.

With these things in mind, let
everyone consider the depth and
width of this weighted arm . .

Cryptophobia

By I. Mclver

Of the many phobias from
which people are suffering, it
seems that CRYPTOPHOBIA is
the most wide-spread. The peo-
ple who suffer from this serious
disease are those unfortunate
individuals who find the art of
keeping secrets something that
is unnecessary and unimportant.

People who spill their secrets
plus the secrets of their friends
are suffering from this disease
referred to as cryptophobia.
These individuals may be con-
sidered among the greatest of
the menaces that society has to
encounter because they destroy
character, homes, and many val-
uable principles and goals.

Since we come in contact with
people who are suffering from
this malady so often, we some-
times fail to realize how much
harm can be done by individuals
in this predicament.

Anyone who spends a portion
of his leisure or employed hours
to spread and secure informa-
tion on people that they are
familiar or unfamiliar with may
be classified as sufferers of this
dreaded phobia.

Individuals who suffer from

this disease are steadily at-

tempting to tear down the cha-
racter and the goals of people
about whom they have only
heard or read. In many instances
these same people who can't
keep secrets tear themselves to
destruction without being aware
that they are ruining their
chances to progress when they
talk without caution in small
and large gatherings.

It is said that a canine that
has a habit of bringing bones
home will eventually carry one
away. Since most of us know
that things can't always come in
without ever d e p a r 1 1 n g, we
should be more careful of what
we say to those who are always
bringing information and ideas
to us concerning issues, individ-
uals or groups. Eventually this
same informer who keeps you
informed will start spilling your
secrets if you become careless
and start talking too freely-
Even more serious than hav-
ing a person to spill your intri-
cate affairs is the danger of
contracting this very contagious
malady. Millions of people are
suffering from this horrible sick-
ness and if you aren't extremely
cautious, you too will unknow-
ingly become a victim.

The Junior-Senior Prom

On Friday night^May 25, 1956
the Junior Class entertained the
Seniors at the annual Junior-
Senior Prom.

The Juniors worked diligently
in order to make this the type
of affair that the Seniors will
gladly enter into their books as
one of the most memorable af-
fairs that they have witnessed
at Savannah State College.

The Theme for this year's
prom was "Stairway to the
Stars". The Juniors dedicated
to the Seniors the motto "Edu-
cation is a Journey and not a
Destination."

Music for the promenade wa_s
rendered by Walter Langston's
Band. All selections were dedi-
cated to the seniors. "Love Is A

Many-Splendored Thing" was
the selection that the Juniors
selected to be played for seniors
only.

Freshman boys and girls and
their guests danced to the music

His salary for substitute teach-

His record as a substitute
teacher, his ability to get jobs
done, his tact and art of getting
along with people, his general
intelligence, his neatness, his
punctuality, and his dependabil-

which enabled him to secure his

Business DepL

Holds Institute

The Department of Business,
in cooperation with the Mid-
Town Life Insurance organiza-
tions of Savannah, held its an-
nual Business Institute on May
4, in Meldrim Auditorium, using
as its theme, "Career Opportuni-
ties in Life Insurance." For gen-
eral information to all students,
the Institute discussed life in-
surance as a whole, explaining
its beginning, what it is, and
how it serves,

Mr. J. A. Singleton, manager
of the Afro-American Life In-
surance Company, was the prin-
cipal speaker for the opening
session and for the general as-
sembly. At the opening session
he gave a history of the life in-
surance business.

The second phase of the
morning session was a panel,
with Mr. C. Bernard Nichols.
Agency Officer. Guaranty Life
Insurance Company, as modera-
tor. Serving on the panel were
W. J. Bush, manager, North Car-
olina Life Insurance Company.
who discussed. "What Is Insur-
ance, and How Is Serves," S. R.
Insurance Company, discussing
"The Insurance Market," and
G. S. May , manager, Pilgrim
Health and Life Insurance Com-
pany, discussing the various job
opportunities in insurance. Mr.
Nichols reviewed the life insur-
ance program and conducted a
question and answer period.

In explaining what insurance
is, it was brought out in the
presentation that. "It might
make a happier world and it
certainly would make a safer
one if we could live our lives
without running any risks what-
ever; if we could live in houses
which can never burn, and own
property which can never be
stolen, and know that nothing-

can ever happen to us or our
families. This kind of life is
not possible and because it isn't
possible, we have insurance"
President Payne, in his remarks
to the assembly stated, "There
was a time when people would
take chances. Now they take in-
surance."

In the discussion of career op-
portunities in life insurance, it
was explained that while col-
lege business training is not re-
quired for many of the jobs in
life insurance, it is highly desir-
able. Insurance companies em-
ploy actuaries, physicians, law-
yers, engineers, and other work-
ers, the largest group are em-
ployed as agents and brokers,
the largest group of all are
agents.

It was brought out that wo-
men too find employment as
secretaries, clerks, typists, busi-
ness machine operators, and as
agents.

In explaining the importance
of the salesman to a company,
Mr. Nichols stated that, "noth-
ing happens until the salesman
makes it happen."

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Vol. 0, No. 10

ELEMENTARY WORKSHOP members emphasized health during
their first session study. Mrs. Thelma M. Harmont, Mr. Dorothy C.
Hamilton, and R. J. Martin, directors, are standing in the last row,
left to right.

Elementary Workshop
Geared to Students"
Interests

The 1956 Elementary Educa-
tion Workshop of Savannah
State College operating for the
first session (June 11-July 14 )
culminated a series of enrich-
ing experiences whose results
will be evaluated best in terms of
more meaningful curriculum of-
better class room organization,
ferings, and wiser use of school
time for the boys and girls of
school age in the counties and
communities represented in the
workshop.

"Broadening Our Concepts of
Teaching and Learning Through
Meaningful Experiences" was
the general theme. Since the
Georgia State Department of
Education has alerted its teach-
ers to the health needs of its
people, the Workshoppers pulled
from this a sub-theme which was
"iinriching and Extending Out
Environment Through Emphasis
in Health." All teaching and
planning irrespective of area had
a health emphasis.

The group of 36 in-service
teachers took a look at education
today in terms of its objectives
and conscientiously sought to
find better ways and means of
achieving them. Headed by a
staff of top flight consultants
the teachers worked courageous-
ly and zealously to find methods,
techniques, and a philosophy to
guide them towards their de-
sired goals.

The Workshop staff included
Mis. Thelma M. Harmond, of the
Department of Education, Sa-
vannah State College, Mrs. Dor-
thy C. Hamilton, Principal of
Powell Laboratory School, Sa-
vannah, Georgia, and Mr, R. J.
Martin, Principal of Ballard-
Hudson High School, Macon,
Georgia. Special consultants in
area phases of the workshop
were: Miss Althea Williams, Li-
brarian. Savannah State College;
Dr. W. K. Murray, Reading Spe-
cialist of A & T College, Greens-
boro, North Carolina ; Dr. W.
Metz, Department of Special
Education, Chatham County
Board of Education, Savannah.
Georgia; Mr. Phillip J. Hamp-
ton, Art Instructor; Mrs. G. H.
Abernathy, D e p t. of Physical
Education; Mr. W. H. M. Bowens,
Dept. of Audio-Visual Aids; Mr.
Eugene Isaac and Dr. Rutherford
Lockette of the Division of
Trades and Industries. All of
these except those indicated
were from the Savannah State
College, Savannah, Georgia.

There were 18 counties of
Georgia and two counties of
South Carolina were represented

in the workshop. The 36 In-ser-
vice teachers and the counties
they represent include Mrs.
Mattie P. Mathis Hicks, Liberty
County; Mrs. M. T. Crowford,

The techniques in the work-
shop this year emphasized learn-
ing by doing. The teachers were
asked at the outset to establish
their problems and to indicate
special areas in which they felt
help was needed most. This was
done and the needs classified.

Other features of the work-
shop that contributed greatly to
the broadening experiences to
which the teachers were subject-
ed were the specially planned
weekly assemblies, chapel pro-
grams, lyceum numbers, group
socials, and educational tours.
The tours were carefully planned
and proved to be extremely help-
ful in broadening participants'
professional knowledge of the
state's resources generally, and
sea-faring trade in particular.
The boat ride viewing the Sa-
vannah Harbor Industries and
the trip to Hilton Head, S. C.
were singular experiences that
added much to the learning and
entertaining experiences of the
workshop group.

SSC Presents First
Lyceum Feature

Musical Portraits, a New Eng-
land trio, was presented at Sa-
vannah State College on Thurs-
day. July 5 in Meldrim Auditor-
ium. This program was the first,
in the Summer Lyceum series at
the college. Featuring a bari-
tone, soprano and pianist, ths
Musical Portraits was the brain-
child of pianist-arranger Dana
Lordly, whose aim was to com-
bine opera in English, concert
and musical comedy, and present
them in a new and entertaining
fashion.

The members of the group met
in the somewhat sacred halls of
Boston's famed New England
Conservatory. Discovering t h e
suppressed boredom that so oft-
en accompanied the formal re-
cital approach, they conceived a
program Idea that would Incor-
porate their serious musical and
dramatic training into scenes
and skits that featured lavish ar-
rangements of music the whole
world knew and loved. In an
original student production at
this same school, Mr. Lordly's
music and dialogue poked gentle
fun at the over-scholarly ap-
proach to serious music, and the
resounding success of the pre-
sentation launched the Musical
Portraits on frolicksome tours
from Maine to Florida.

Breaking from the tradition of
using the established dialogue of
musical comedy scenes, the trio
preferred to set their arrange-
ments Into situations that every-
one would recognize: a scene In
a living room of a museum, or a
husband and wife dispute over
a television set. Amusing dia-
logue gave audiences the oppor-
tunity of viewing and laughing
at themselves on stage, while
more serious music lovers found
satisfaction in the simplicity of
solo selections and deft staging
of opera scenes in English. And
above all. it became evident that,
to the Musical Portraits, music
was fun. and here was the oppor-
tunity for their listeners to
share the enthusiasm of three
young people with a new and
novel approach to the music
they love.

SSC Players
Present Dramatic
Comedy

Drama Guild presented a three-
act dramatic comedy "The Love-
ly Duckling", on July 26 in Mel-
drim Auditorium at 8; 15 p.m

Adopting t Positive

Johnny I

The most elusive of nil man's
quests Is his eternal quest for
life's ultimate purpose and
meaning. Although unable to
find any suitable answer to this
perplexing problem, man with
his finite mind, continues to
struggle trying dosperatoly to
relate his existence on earth to
some higher purpose than more

life Itself.

In the face Of SUCh a dilemma,
many have taken the positive
approach to life, They earnest-
ly believe that life has u higher,
more noble purpose that is evi-
dent, unci their lives are predi-
cated on that assumption. They
live in accordance with the mor-
al principles that have proven
their worth through the ages;

their lives are useful nncl bene-
ficial to i hemselves and to so-
ciety.

On the other hand, there are
those who consciously or uncon-
sciously negate life. In their de-
spnlr they have decided that life
has no ultimate omening that
existence Is a very fleeting phen-
omenon and that one had better
"live" while one Is alive. Re-
jecting all moral principles, their
thinking become nihilistic, and
their lives an endless series of

Attitude Towards XAfe

iampboll ii
Intrigues In which they attempt
to satisfy their ego at any cost,

frequently Justifying the means
by the end.

Much of the cheerfulness asso-
ciated with youth transforms In-
to the gloom and despair of old
age because of the Individual's
[allure to adopt a positive atti-
tude towards life while young.
Bent with the years, too old to
partake of life's pleasures, and
disbelieving In life's ultimate
purpose, these people have noth-
ing to look forward to but in-
evitable death.

It. Is while one Is In college,
when one's philosophy of life Is
slowly culminating, that one
ought to adopt and put into
practice, a positive attitude to-
wards life. An attitude founded
on firm moral principles and
based on the belief that life Is
not Just an endless series of fun
and lollies but rather, that life
was created with a purpose
which embraces all form of life
from the lowest creature of the
sea, to the highest of man. If
such an attitude were adopted
and cultivated, all mankind
would greatly benefit and the
gloomy, pessimistic, thoughts of
old age would never prevail.

// / U ere a Fr

By Eteube

You are anxiously looking for
the words so often spoken by
college students up on gradua-
tion. But you are now in for a
big surprise. For If I were a
freshman again, my approach
and attitude would not differ
greatly from what they have
been.

Let me take you back to the
morning of January 4, 1954. I
got up, ate breakfast, and wan-
dered around all day from hall
to hall like a sailboat at sea
without sails. By January of
1956. I would still have to wander
from hall to hall in-order to be
officially enrolled in college.

I think it is indeed part of the
college life for Mr. Ingersoll to
send an entering freshman back
for some advisor to check his
registration card to make sure
that he has a course in western
civilization under Dr. Dean in his
freshman year. Or when one
gets to the cashier, to be sent
back to Mr. Miller to have an-
other 10 dollars added to his bill.

If I were a freshman again, I
would not spend any more time
in the library than I have done.
The library Is not the only source
of information and knowledge
awaiting anyone who goes there-
in. In the student body is also
a rich course of knowledge, wis-
dom and information awaiting
anyone who demands it. If you
have now concluded that I am

eshman Again

n Cooper

Implying that college students
should not spend a great deal of
their time in library, your con-
clusion Is wrong. I am em-
phatically stating that if half
ol the time students spent in
the library was used wisely, and
for the purpose it should be,
there would need be no great
concern about the students'
reading habits,

If I were a freshman again, I
would quietly go about the cam-
pus with a goal and determina-
tion, being mindful to keep the
purpose of my coming here fore-
most In mind.

Many students, I observed,
somehow get confused in their
values and they try to make the
college conform to their individ-
ual purposes and desires. This is
impossible to do and college be-
comes to them all but what they
would have it be.

If I were a freshman again I
would join any organization on
the campus that has as a goal,
to .perpetuate brotherhood,
scholarship, mutual understand-
ing, and the fellowship of men.
On the contrary, I would not
join any organization that had
publicity only as its purpose.
Organizations are supposed to
serve their members in all as-
pects of growth. When an organ-
ization fails to do that it has lost

The entrance of John Ther-
man Cooper to the senate race,
Democratic activities, the airline
investigation, the Kremlin's re-
lease of their economic activity,
satellite unrest and President
Elsenhower's letter to Chiang
Kai-shek, are the focus spots of
America's attention.

Ambassador to India, John
Therman Cooper has entered the
senate race from Kentucky at
the request of President Eisen-
hower. This move was taken as
part of Republican eforts to re-
gain control of Congress in No-
vember.

Connecticut Democrats added
an unexpected 20 votes to the
first ballot strength of Adlai
Stevenson at next month's Dem-
ocratic national convention.
Stevenson, winding up a "listen-
ing tour" among farmers In Mid-
western states, said he found
that "many farmers are going
broke," and called Republican
claims of prosperity "a mockery"
under such conditions.

Stevenson suffered one setback
during the week as Gov. H. B.
(Happy) Chandler won control
of the Kentucky state Democrat-
ic organization and 930-vote na-
tional convention delegation
over the forces of Senator Cle-
ments.

Former President Harry Tru-
man, returning from a European
tour, lunched with Harriman
and Stevenson. He told news-
men however, that he hopes
someone other than Sen. Estes
Kefauver of Tennessee will be
the Democratic standard bearer.

The Civil Aeronautics Board
chief investigator said today
that the two plane Grand Can-
yon air catastrophe was "definite
collision" and added that pri-
mary flight responsibility before
the crash rested with the Trans-
World pilot.

William K. Andrews, C. A. B.
director of safety Investigation,
vVashington, told a House Com-
merce Subcommittee hearing:

"I would not hesitate to say
that it was a definite collision."

Earlier, he testified that "TWA
had full responsibility for main-
taining separation 'of the two
airliners after it had changed
flight plans.

The TWA Superconstellation
and United DC 7 collided over
Grand Canyon on June 30 with a
loss of 128 lives. It was history's
worst commercial aviation disas-
ter. Both planes were east-
bound from Los Angeles and
took off only three minutes
apart.

Across the ocean, the Kremlin
has released statistics regarding
their economic activity.

Early this month in Moscow,
the central statistical adminis-
tration of the Soviet government
issued a 260 page compilation of
basic figures on Soviet economic
activity. It was the first such
collection of data to be issued
since before World War II and it
is more complete than anything
published in the U.S.S.R. since
the mid-30's before Stalin's great
purge.

Elsewhere in the world, satel-
lite unrest is likely to force a re-
turn to terror.

The present Soviet leadership
has got itself into a mess of
trouble by its relaxation of the
iron discipline of the Stalin era,
and it is difficult to see how the
Kruschei-Bulganin regime is go-
ing to stay in the Kremlin un-
less it impasses once more the
restrictions it has been denounc-
ing so vigorously.

The entire communist world
appears to be in ferment. Re-
ports from behind the Iron Cur-
tain indicate unrest which could
lead to move uprisings such as
the bloody revolt in Porzan,
Poland last week.

Appetites and tastes play an important part in living. These
terms when first mentioned often suggest things to eat. An exten-
sion of the concepts would lead one into various aspects of living.
Just as the variety of things to eat has increased rapidly, so have
appetites and tastes increased in other areas of living. One often
wonders what people mean when they use the expression "This is the
life". To some it means a special type of enjoyment of living; to
others It is a momentary special bit of enjoyment.

The things which people like and enjoy are determined by oppor-
tunities and cultivation. If one observes infants and watches the
way in which their tastes and likes grow and increase, it is pos-
sible to draw a similar parallel in other areas. Many college stu-
dents wonder why they become bored with certain types of music,
recreation, art, philosophy, and religion. In the majority of these
cases, the lack of interest, appreciation and understandings may
be attributed to the absence of previous experiences and opportuni-
tls to learn.

The concepts of life which college students wish to set up as
goals or ideals might be developed. The extension of the idea and
breadth of the concepts of life can be developed just as any other
aspect of life. Those who wish to enjoy the best in literature, art,
science, music, entertainment, fellowship, neighborliness, and re-
ligion can reach their objectives by planning experiences in the
respective areas. The life or enjoyment which one considers impor-
tant for himself can be planned. College students will find that the
tastes and the appetites they possess need not be so limited. Wher-
ever there is a desire to extend and increase one's concepts of good
living there are definite possibilities.

The Right To Vote

In the United States of America we as citizens of a free and
independent country enjoy many freedoms; freedoms of speech
freedom of religion and freedom of the press. These freedoms
which we now enjoy have been fought for in blood and sorrow, ana
in winning the battle the people in the early history of this country
took steps in preserving this country as a free nation. In taking
these steps the Constitution of the United States came into exist-
ence. In this Constitution, along with the freedoms I have previously
mentioned, the right to vote was established. To me this is one of
the most important freedoms a free nation could have. Unlike most
Iron Curtain countries of the world, the American people have the
right to select the persons whom they wish to represent them in
local, state, and national government. But even having this free-
dom of choice in a democratic country, some of the citizens fail to
realize the importance of their vote and hesitate to use it. Your vote
is your voice in the government and in selecting someone to repre-
sent you, you must choose your candidate wisely.

During the past four years, the American people have been con-
fronted with many problems in local, state, and national affairs. The
vote of a person or group of persons can vote a candidate into
office or vote him out. In the 1952 presidential election, with Eisen-
hower running at the head of the ticket, the Republican Party won
a major victory, one that had not been won since Herbert Hoover'
time. The people of the United States votd this administration ink
office and the Republicans controlled Congress for two years, but ir.
1954 these same people who voted them into office, voted them om
and th Democratics were out front again.

The reasons for the Republicans' downfall in 1954 may be de-
bated in many ways, but it is not my wish to discuss these reasons
but only to point out the fact that your vote can determine the fu-
ure state of your country's welfare.

The year 1956 is elecion year again for the selection of a capable
person to represent the United States Government, The American
people are more concerned with the presidential lection this year
than they were four years ago, because since then many issues
concerning the president's administration have been in th spotlight
and they will have great significance in the electing of president
Before using your vote, there must be a careful examination of all
events concerning your country. First of all study the achievements
and mistakes of the present administration, make an evaluation of
the foreign aid and farm program; study the progress of integration
in the United States. Secondly after fusing these facts together
make sure the person you choose has the qualifications in handling
the job.

Vote in the 1956 election. Vote for the Republicans if they be
your choice. Vote for the Democratic Party if you prefer them. Vote
for a candidate on an independent ticket. But vote. And use your
vote wisely.

Nescience and Indolence

By I. Mclver

Many writers agree that nescience and indolence are two of the
greatest obstacles that person has to overcome. It has been proved
that these two maladies which are present among every group are
as prevalent among the students of our colleges and universities as
they are among those who do not attend institutions of higher
learning.

These sicknesses are not permitted to spread as rapidly in educa-
tional institutions as they do in the outside world, but all of us must
agree that without the injection of the proper counteraction, these
infirmities would be as communicable on our campuses as they are in
most undesirable communities.

Both of these maladies tend to retard our progress. However,
indolence has been proved to be the more destructible of these con-
tagious disorders.

In a surrounding where people are industrious and mentally
alert, there are happiness and security. However, in an environment
where indolence and nescience prevail, indigence, infirmities, pov-
erty, and contamination are the dominating peculiarities.

The impediments that these maladies cause can be overcome
if we attempt to grasp a yearning to become informed on all preva-
lent issues, strive to spend every minute and second in attaining
worthy goals, and abstain from groups of environments where as-
siduous individuals are not in preponderance.

its desired purpose and becomes
detrimental to its members.

As I look back over my college
career I have no regrets. There-
fore, I have no reason to con-
clude that if I were a freshman
again I would do differently. I
admit that I have made many
mistakes and have had prob-
lems. But if I could, by some
means, go back to my freshman
year, I undoubtedly would make
many mistakes and have numer-
ous problems.

One. as a freshman, doesn't
normally behave as a senior.
Then why does it not seem reas-
onable for a freshman to act in
the light of his experiences and
time? Being exposed to knowl-
edge, interacting with others in
a different environment over a
period of time, and the contin-
ued growth toward maturity.
would obviously cause anyone to
think differently and approach
problems in a differently man-
ner. This does not mean that he
should be criticized for past ac-
tion and conduct.

If I were a freshman again, I
would approach problems from
the point of my past experiences
and knowledge of that day. I
should receive the same honor
and satisfaction from doing so.

I realize that some things I
could have done I did not do.
That shall be true as long as the
earth remains. When I have sin-
cerely acted according to my
conscience and the power within
me, it is hard for me to look back
and conceive of myself doing
things in my freshman year that
I have not done.

Conferences Are For Fun, Too

By Miss Luella Hawkins, Librarian

Miami Beach, Florida, the land of sunshine and hotels whose
business is entertainment, beckoned more than 3500 librarians, trus-
tees, teachers, and friends of the library to the 75th Annual Ameri-
can Library Association Conference. June 17-23. 1956.

This was one of the largest attended Conferences of the Associa-
tionso much was offered for the delegate who likes to mix fun
with business. The kind officials streamlined the Conference so
that most of the afternoons were free for the enjoyment of this re-
sort setting of the 1956 meeting. Not until our speeding train was
passing miles upon miles of orange groves did we begin to catch the
enchantment of this land of wonder. U was fortunate enough to
have Mrs. Howard Jackson, formerly a teacher at Powell Laboratory
and now at Spencer School, join me for the trip).

Our introduction to the Beach was by way of Collins Avenue, the
street of fabulous hotels. Made us think of "Alice in Wonderland".
The Fontainbleau and The Eden Roc. the newest additions to The
Avenue", were the official headquarters for the Conference. The
morning of the first day was given to registration and getting
acquainted not so much with other librarians, but with our setting,
Our first business, and charming it was. was to attend a tea at the
Miami Public Library given In honor of the John Cotton Dana
Award Winners. (The awards were given for outstanding publicity
in public libraries.)

The official opening session on Monday night featured a preview
private showing of the Columbia film, "Storm Center," starring
Bette Davis. The story dealt with the self-appointed book-banners
and book-burners, committees and organizations that use the slo-
gans of democracy to suppress that necessary prelude to freedom of
thought, the freedom to read on all sides of a question. While the
problem is not so acute as it once was, librarians agree that It Is sttll
very real.

"A case for Notable Books", from the viewpoint of author, pub-
lisher, critic, and librarian a panel discussion, was the highlight of
the Second General Session. Joseph Barnes, editor. Simon and
Schuster, almost built "A Case Against Notable Books". He asked.
"For What? and For Whom? are the Notable Books Chosen." He fell
that the librarians were not as objective as they might be In their
selection. He noted the dearth of fiction on the list and inquired
about the omission of the best selling novel. Kantor's "Anderson-
ville". He also said that by the same token the 1956 publication and
best seller O'Connor's "Last Hurrah" might be omitted from the
next list. The latter title he considered one of the clearest cut pic-
tures of our political system that has been written in a long time.
i Why don't you check on some of the forty-six titles Included in
the 1955 list and set up your Case For or Against Notable Books?)
gram that had just been received. The President had signed into

At the conclusion of the panel, President Richards read a tele-
law the Library Services Bill. This bill has been in the making since
October 1, 1945, when the American Library Association opened its
Washington Office. It will help the states provide free local public
library service for the many millions of people who do not now enjoy
this privilege.

The Children's Library Association honored the winners of the
Newberry and Caldecott Awards. I did not attend, but I was interest-
ed as I do know their books. Rojankovsky received the Caldecott
Medal for the best illustrations for a children's book with his "Frog
Went A-Courting", and Jean Lee Latham, the John Newberry Medal
for The Most Distinguished Contribution to American Literature for
Children with her "Carry on, Mr. Bowditch". 'Find time soon to
read these Medal winners.)

The Storytelling Festival, .also sponsored by The Children's Li-
brary Association, was an innovation this year and the tickets for
every session were at a premium. We attended the Thursday session
where Mrs. Frances Clarke Sauers. storyteller, author, and lecturer
on children's literature, from Los Angeles, California, brought to us
the wonderful land of storybooks with her telling of parts of "The
Wonder Smith and His Son," "Old Dire Dragaman," and "The Hare
and the Hedgehog."

Mrs. Jackson attended the Workshop on Introducing Books to
Young People, and I devoted all my unscheduled time to Circle o?
Information sessions on Library Buildings. Tours of the libraries
in the vicinity and general sightseeing tours were enjoyed.

Fun we did have, but I cannot say that we were unhappy Friday
afternoon when we went aboard the SS Florida that was to take us
on an overnight cruise to Havannah. Cuba. More than 200 of the
Miami delegates joined the Association sponsored tour to visit Cuban
libraries and to talk to Cuban librarians. Most were airminded and
took the slow, but enjoyable boat trip. From the time our ship
could leave Saturday morning for the one-hour flight; some few
cruised past Morro Castle and docked until we again boarded for our
trip home, there was a round of activities that was tailored to suit all.

Saturday afternoon a luncheon was held in the Hotel Nacional
our headquarters honoring our hosts and hostesses, the Cuban
librarians. A tour of the libraries of the city followed The Biblioteca
Nacional (National Library of Cuba) was preparing to occupy their
magnificent new structure now almost completed. The Biblioteca
General de 1 aUniversidad de la Habana (University of Havannai
was opened for our visit although the summer session had not yet
begun. The Biblioteca de la Sociedad Economica del Pais is a beauti-
ful library whose reading room and small auditorium face an open
court. All the libraries were using the same schemes for organization
that are followed in this country.

Saturday evening we were on the town. The famed Club Tropi-
cana was our headquarters for the night. Dancing and music might
be internationally understood, but I missed so much of the show be-
cause all the comedy acts were in Spanish. Made me wish I had
taken advantage of our classes at the College.

Sunday morning was given to general sightseeing. One of the
most beautiful buildings I have ever seen is the Capitolio Nacional.
It covers two city blocks and cost approximately seventeen million
dollars when it was erected < 1925-1929). The ceiling of the Reception
Hall is decorated in delicate hand painting and finished in 22 carat
gold leaf. On the floor at the center of this Hall, directly under the
great dome, is set a 24 carat, blue-white diamond. This precious
stone serves as the "mileage stone of Cuba" and sets the starting
point of the Central Highway marking the "zero kilometer". Our
guide said the stone had been stolen once, but that it had been re-
turned by parcel post. Since then, improved safety measures guard
this jewel.

The President's Palace, Lady of Mercy Cathedral, rum distillery
i drinks on the house), Columbus Cathedral, and The Market Place
were part of our itinerary.

A word on the Market Place. As soon as you land, do get ac-
quainted with the twenty-cent piece. It is the size of our quarter
and I believe the street sellers make a game of seeing how many
people believe that since it is as large as a quarter, It is one. Luckily
lor us. our English-speaking guide had informed us when change
had been made the first time; so when a vendor started counting
my change from a dollar as "twenty-five," I could say with au-
thority, "No. twenty". You don't save much that way, but those
two magic words will make you feel like a world traveler who is
"In the know".

Twas a fun-packed weekend, and we were hardly ready to leave
Sunday when our cars came to whisk us down the lovely ocean drive.
Malecon Avenue, to the SS Florida now surrounded with the native
penny-divers. We had enoyed foreign travel on a Congerence Budget
and are ready to add to our slogan "Reading Is our business", the
phrase "And Travel, too".

BOXING

The young and promising
heavyweight contender "Floyd
Patterson" from Brooklyn,
scored a 12 round split decision
over the no. 2 contender, Tommy
"Hurricane" Jackson, of Far
Rockaway, N. Y, It was Patter-
son's fight all the way until he
suffered a fractured hand which
accounted for his slowing up at

the end of the flghL, Patterson Is
young, willing, and able to gain
the "Heavyweight Title", and It
is said that he Is best fitted Tor
the position. Patterson has the
punch of Joe Louis and the foot-
work of Sugar Ray Robinson.
BASEBALL
The World Champion Brook-
lyn Dodgers were In n slump at
the beginning of the season but
now they arc moving up toward
ilrsi place in the National

League. As it stands now the
Dodgers aren't hitting as we feel
they should, and still are near
first place, so It will be easy for
them to get in at least 5 or 6
games out front when their big
sticks start their batting spree.
The question of Jackie Robin-
son being sold Is a lot of talk,
because Jackie likes the Dodgers
and the Dodgers like Jackie.
Most writers say Jackie will be
with the Dodgers until he retires.
Jackie Robinson will be award-
ed the Splngarn Medal some
lime after the baseball season
Is over.

My predictions of the League's
standing at the end of the sea-
son look .something like this;

Miss (Jfors (iiven
Far**w-ll Party at Dorm

By Odell Weaver
and Thomas Johnson

Miss Roberta Clfors. the Direc-
tor of Wright Hall since its com-
pletion In September 1954, was
given a farewell party by mem-
bers of the Dormitory Council on
Friday evening June 29 before
she departed June 30.

Odell Weaver, the president of
the council for 1958-57, presented
Miss Clfors with a sliver tray.
Mr. Weaver told Miss Cifors that
the tray was being presented by
the men of the dormitory as a
token for the outstanding service
that she had rendered during
her tenure In this capacity. The
tray had the following Inscrip-
tion; "Character Is like a dia-
mond. It Is a stone which
scratches every other stone."
Weaver said that this inscription
was engraved because Miss Cl-
fors always stressed the impor-
tance of good character and a
pleasing personality.

Wright Hall, which Is one of
the newest and most spacious
structures on the campus, Is
without a director until another
is appointed by the president.

Mrs. Clfors said that she felt
as though she was a mother to
the men in the dormitory. She
stated that since Wright Hall
was the newest structure situ-
ated at the center of the campus,
most of the visitors stayed there
during the many meetings and
conventions. According to the
director, 3 a.m. wasn't an unus-
ual hour to be awakened to place
a visitor in a room in Wright
Hall. She said that she was go-
ing to take a deserved vacation.

In an interview here today,
Walter Leftwlch, director of the
long-awaited course in Total
School Health Planning, It was
revealed that the course meets
an urgent need in the school
program.

With 28 students representing
19 counties in the state, the
course fulfills a primary need of
the elementary teacher, giving
her help in developing a system-
ized method of approach, the di-
rector stated.

Since It has met with such
popular approval, the course will
be offered as a part of the regu-
lar term beginning in 1957. The
course features trips to local
health institutions, demonstra-
tions, and actual experience in
participating in health programs
in schools.

"For example, the potential or
in-service teacher will receive
instruction in giving vision tests
so that the technique wil be fa-
miliar In the classroom," Mr.
Leftwlch stated.

He further stated, "More em-
phasis is needed on health in our
public schools. Pains have been
taken to cover as thoroughly as

HUMOR

By Gloria Moultrie

Isn't It The Truth?

A minister was lecturing his
sixteen-year-old daughter about
snobbishness.

"Remember," he said, "we are
all of the same mold".

"Yes," replied his hopeful,
"but some are moldier than oth-
ers".

Knock! Knock'

Oscar who?

Daffynitions

A doorknob is a thing a revolv-

A straw is something that you

A newspaper is what people

times.

An onion is a food that builds
