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. Are you an N. A. A. C* P. mem- ber?? "JOIN AND SUPPORT YOUR N. A. A. C. P. NOW!!!" 4 Louges Opened At College By WILLIAM P.

Students See Many Department At Work Observes Beauty of Campus By Mcrvin P. Jackson Beach-Cuyler Day was spent on the beautiful Georgia State Camp- us and in the various buildings on January 11, 1949. Georgia State students and visit- ors filled Meldrim Auditorium to capacity to witness the most un- forgettable program, put over by students and graduate students of Beach-Cuyler High School. To get the day's activities under- way, the Beach-Cuyler students assembled in the Meldrim Audi- torium at 11:00 A.M., to hear various division heads explain, "Hfcw Georgia State College Op- erates." Speaking in order were: Mr. T. C. Meyers, Registration, Dean of Faculty, W. K. Payne, Curriculum, Mr. P. D. Davis, Jr., Comptroller and Miss Charity E. Adams, Personnel, Tlie second part of the day's program was presented in Mel- drim Auditorium at 12:00 Noon, where thp many Pbleciing vuiccs of Bcaeii-Cuyler':; heavy rho'v wa.^ heard, .accompanied at the piano by Mr, Peter Smalls, Sei 'or High Music Director at Beach; Devo- tions by Keikf.

He de- scribed fully, the beautiful camp- us here at Georgia State; then came response by Mr. Herman Blyer, one of the honor graduates students of Beach. The program reached its highest lights when Little Miss Evelyn Grant, a Junior at Beach, walked to the piano and played her con- cert numbers which included: Sonata Pathatique, Clair De Lune, and Fantasia Impromptu, all of which were extra good. Appreciation for her wonderful performance was shown her by the many applause, and the un- divided attention from her entire audience. Then came President James A. Colston, greeting, and welcoming the Beach Graduating Class to Georgia State College and its activities. He congratulated Beach-Cuyler on having played a very important part in Georgia State College for many years, and their continuing to do so, with special regards to the many ex- cellent students hailing from Beach. The President concluded by saying "For that reason and many others, I extend a most cordial welcome to the graduating class." Mr. Prince Jackson, Presi- dent of the College Student Coun- cil presided, and acted as chair- man of both programs.

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.

President Colston com- mented on the officers' speech by saying, "I believe that the best trained people should head our de- fense program.' His New Year's resolution to the student body was, "Begin to solve the present prob- lems now." Miss Charity E. Adams, Student personnel director, was in charge.

"Campus Quarantine" Makes Hit i The Georgia State College fam- ily and citizens of Savannah jam- med the Meldrim auditorium on Tuesday night, December 2, 1948, to witness the first production, "Campus Quarantine" to be played by students of Georgia State Col- lege. The play was a sensation. The cast of the three-act com- edy included Thema Moss, Almeta Brown, Alma Riggs Jewel Gamble, Gloria Sheffield, Edwin Hall, Johnnie Ownes, Ephriam Williams and Robert Dobbs. Miss Beulah V. Johnson, direc- tor of Dramatics at Georgia State College, was in charge of the pro- duction. Paper Staff 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. 36505 On February 4 The newly organized Georgia State College Player's Guild is preparing its second production of ;he year, Sidney Howard's "The 3Uver Cord" for presentation on February 4. After the success of the Guild vith its initial production, "C'am- dus Quarantine" on December 2, he group as cast faculty members n the major roles with a separate ?ast of student understudies.

F, Carr, Miss Charity E, Adams, Mr. Eugene Stanley and Miss Catherine Emanuel. Students having roles in the play at Miss Jewel Gavilul, Miss Gloria Sheffield, Mr. Theodore Brown, Mr. E. Williams and Miss Thelma Moss. 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 fight for salary equality. . . Larry Doby and Satchel Paif of the Cleveland Indians basked in the World Series spotlight. . . Negro postal employes were victims of pudge in six citiea. ' PAGE THREE 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. LYON SHAM To the readers: The above printed article is not the opinion of the Editorial department. PAGE FOUR Covering The Town With 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 of students.

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 INTEREST GROUP Young men who are interested in the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity have formed their club and have elected the following officers: President, Crawford Bryant; Vice President, James "Stretch" Sav- ery; Secretary, Louis Vaughns; Assistant Secretary, George Har- ris;, Treasurer, Willie Wardell; Sergeant At Arms, James W. Fisher. In their last meeting, they elect- THE TIGER'S ROAR ed Miss Gloria Dilworth', a mem- ber of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Interest Group, as their club's Sweetheart, They have many entertainments planned which will be given soon. 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. JANUARY, 1949 Fashion Show at Georgia State Shown above are lovely co-eds of Georgia State College. Standing, left to right, are three juniors- Misses M. Lucker, Burnice Thompson (Miss Georgia State), and Dorothy Williams, These charming young ladies are models for the advance clothing class. The photo was taken at the Home Manage- ment house. Something to Remember Don't say the thing is impossible the chances are you'll rue it, because some one who doesn't know will come along and do it. How About It Ladies? As Grandma says, "Be in ni hurry, deary: If you get a good husband a last, ye'll not have waited too long; and if y t get a bad one, ye'll wish you'd waited long "Thoughtfuln. makes friend- this dance showed expressions of ships, and thoughtfulnesa keeps having had a wonderful time. them." 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. Christmas gifts are really float ing around the campus and i1 seems as if birthstone rings have it- Gloria and Helen Dilworth are wearing fine one from Jessie and George. Mable Fortson has a love- ly one also. 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. Can there be a romance bloom- ing between Evelyn Smalls and Jimmie Jackson or can it be be- tween Evelyn and Clarence Rcy- You are coming on like Gang Buster, kid. Maceo, I have been watching your every move. I'll find you out sooner or later and I shall let the world know about you. Be , careful, handsome. I know that Frank Simmons is all in smiles for I see that his Continued on pagt 7 ,t I JANUARY, 1949 THE TIGER'S ROAR PAGE FIVE SCORE 0-0, Ag gies Defeat A. & S. Frank Willis Stars Chuck's 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." Relaxing Before The Camera Top row, Edward Worlds, Alex Ellis, "Stretch" Savery, Leon Smith, Donald Adams, and Ted Wright, Jr. Botom, "Jiggs" Morgan, Archie Frazier, Boston Williams, "Be-bop" Harris and esse Conrad. 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. In the second game with Hamp- ton on Wednesday, December 14, it looked for a while that the Ti- gers would make a comeback and gain their first victory but the overwhelming power of the Hamp- 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 the in-zone where he was smeared by the entire Trade team for Getting Eyes Sharpened for Basket From left to right, are Charles McDaniels, Edward "Blind Tom' Pierson, leading scorer for the GSC squad, and Maceo Taylor. tonians was too much and State 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. safety. This put the Tradies out in front 8-0. The fourth period found the Ag- gies in possession of the pig-skin on about the mid-field stripe. Charlie "Stumble, fumble and grumble" conyers on a pass from center fumbled and the ball was recovered by the Tradesmen. Con- rad Moore, back for the Trades- 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 At GSC Mr. R. R. Butts and Mr. W. D. Akers, representatives of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, were at GSC prior to the holidays dis- tributing free cigarettes to all stu- dents at GSC. Mr. Butts stated that "this was a nationwide objective of the com- pany in order to promote better sales of better cigarettes. All of the students at GSC were very well pleased with the company's 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. that caught the A's off guard and in the wanning minutes of the game the bruising full-back Smalls plunged over from the six yard stripe to win the game and camp- us championship for the Tradies, 14-0. PAGE SIX THE TIGER'S ROAR JANUARY, 1949 "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. See you next month in: "A 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." I 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.

JANUARY, 1949 THE TIGER'S ROAR PAGE SEVEN 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.

Dimes Provide Meharry $72,230 Contributions to the March of Dimes enabled the National Foun- dation of Infantile Paralysis to appropriate $73,230 to Meharry Medical College for the training of prospective physicians in pedi- atrics, orthopedics and physical medicine, it was announced by 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.

PAGE EIGHT THE TIGER'S ROAR JANUARY, 1949 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 Some Sparkling Personalities of 1948-1949 Students Miss Rhunell Edinfield, Miss Dorothy Lanier, Miss Graice Mincey, Miss Eunice Wright, Miss Martha Avery, Miss Lorese Davis, Miss Agness Griffin, Miss Lenoa Murphy, Miss Dillie P. Hill, Mr. Julian Davis, Miss Lucy Wooten, Mr. Willie E. Pugh, Mr. Riliand Stewart, Miss Lozzie Martin, Miss Grace, Miss Athlene Hughs, Miss Dorothy Parneli, Miss Magaline Beasley. Faculty Mr. T. C. Myers, Miss Luella Hawkins, Mr. Nelson Freeman, Mr. Flex J. Alexis, Dr. B. T. Griffith, Mrs. Emma Wortham and Dean W. K. Payne. 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. Now you know a favorite collegi family. YOU KNOW THE WRIGHTS! Open Columbia U. (Continuation) although steamship accomodations will be arranged for students not wishing to fly.

This Summer 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. Travel to and from the United States will be by chartered planes, (See column at left) The Tiger's Roar HIGH SCHOOL EDITION VOLUME 2, Number 4 GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA MAY. 1949 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 . S. t.

PAYNE 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 Demi-Tasse Players Appear At College The Demi-Tasse Players, the most unique dramatic group ever to be of- fered to college audiences, were pre- sented in Savannah Stale Colli ^< - \li-l- drim Auditorium on Friday evening, November 2, 1951. This highly versatile group thrilled the College audience with its interpre- tation of scenes from "Taming of ihe Shrew" by Shakespeare; "Happiness My Goal'' by Norman Holland; "Cath- erine Paar," by John Baldorgtan. Charles Avery directs the group with lielfiic Thomas as producer. Professor II. R. Hatched is chairman of the Cam- pus Cultural Committee and Professor Robert Long is co-chairman of this committee which sponsored the Demi- Tasse Players at Savannah Slule Col- lege. 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. William K. Payne 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. T. C.

Speaking from the subject, "College Citizenship," the president made several imporiunt points. 1. That the college students constitute ihe college citizen- ship. 2. That this being a select com- munity, means that we have select citizens. "One way of showing good citizenship is to regard ihe other fel- low," said ihe Prexy. Another is "To develop ihinking on community level.

Dean William J. Holloway spoke to us on October 9, on the subject of "Raising Slandards.*" "College people are select people and should exhibit fair play at all times. They should know bow to lose as well as how to win," ihe Dean declared. He gave us three important ways in which we can raise higher standards; 1. Scholarship, 2. Social Behavior. 3.

It is nol ihe purpose of this short piece lo describe the provisions of M.F.P. as that will he allemnter' The upshot of all ibis is thai gross inefficiency or at the most a low grade of mediocrity has been a dominani characteristic of our system. This sort of psychological atmosphere prevading and surrounding leaching a> a vocation in our state has insinuated itself into und upon all areas touching ihe profession. Here at the college, it becomes apparent in the attitude ol students toward preparation for teach- ing. Classified a profession, teaching enjoys the prestige and high social es- i accorded the olher professions. Though (his is true, however, there is i considerable tendency for persons to elect and prepare for teaching only vhen it become- evident lhal further Study required for enlrance into the ither professions is not feasible or possible. A familiar statement of upperclass- men is, "I want lo sludy medicine but if I can't do any heller 111 leach. So, in case 1 do have lo leach I heller lake iome education'." We have here in the lepartmeiil have labeled this sort of person an "in ease teacher." The low siutnlards which meager fi- nancial provision has forced upon the system have made of the profession a penurious and contemptible ocupalion; profession, yes, but one to be pre- ferred only after all others have been ntlered unattainable.

Among the students, our congratu- lations go to Mr. ami Mrs. William Johnson (Dorothy Robinson) ; Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Ricks (Maude Eden Held ) ; Mr. and Mr-. Conrad Moon- (Jacque- line Nelson). low begin lo demand that all aspects if the program meet acceptable sland- 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 the individual who qualifies [or gradu- ation in any of the several leaeher edu- cation curricula shall have done so by conscious, deliberate choice and he will have selected his course of uction at a specified point in his college career. pursuing ii as designed. An "incaser." to qualify, having passed ihe point of decision must retrace his stepi, select has desired field and spend an amounl of extra lime qualifying equivalent lo that he lias missed. Stale certification under the new plan will he automatic upon completion of one of the leaching curricula. 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 of poor preparalion and ihe compensa- tion was commensurate. With insistence upon and availability of persons with desirable professional preparalion said persons also being eligible for compensation which ap- proaches a level of respectability com- parable to that of other professions- carelessness, shifllessness and slovenly standards of performance will cease lo be tolerated. In summary, M.F.P. is ihe unmistak- able expression of Georgia's determina- tion to develop a modern and efficienl school system. Adoption of ibis acl breathes life and vitality into ihe pro- fession and does much to provide the atmosphere which will enable il to assume the dignity and stalus of com- ible occupations. The profession has definitely come of age. Those who ould engage in it must acquire the attributes ol maturity with such a calling.

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."

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.

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.

KNOWLEDGE 1 5 STRENGTH 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, Hosea J. Lofton. The Exchange 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." The Lincolrv Clarion carried in the January 11 issue an article announcing an award for recognition of material life we are mines and miners.

A Tiger Rambles in the Library By Curtis P. Harris While browsing around in the Library ic afternoon, I decided that I would gather some bits of information th; might be o( interest lo the SSC family. 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 Library staff. They are: James Camp- bell, George Thomas, Alflela Gaskin, Hazel Collier, and Celesline Hamilton. A recent survey of the use of the Library by students shows that more of our students are making increasing u-e of this great educational tool. Good Grooming Aids Cadet Teacher lly Carolyn M. Manigo 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 student leaching. A prospective cadet teacher might use the following as a checklist for groom- ing: Is my clothing clean and well Is my clothing practical (or the kinds of activities in which I must engage with the pupils? ts my clothing attractively harmoni- ous in its color combinations? Is my clothing suitable to my per- sonality modish, without conspicuous' ly attracting attention to itself?

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. Ann Kuth Howard. We are wishing every student suc- cess in his practice leaching. We say. "Go into your work with ihe best thai you have in the end the best will Creative Writing Edition Fulfills Dream This is the story behind a slory of progress. The Creative Writing Edi- tion of The Tiger's Roar, released last month, marked more than a new high in 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 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.

KNOWLEDGE 1 5 STRENGTH 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 with the finest The Exchange Editor Speaks 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." Lincoln Clarion carried in th January 11 issue an article announcing award for recognition of materia] tile we " ate mines and miners. Ou in general publications, which contrihut to better racial relations in this coun try. John Chadwick, make-up editor o The Virginia Statesman, publication of 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.

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."

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. Students enrolled In the course came from schools throughout the state. They were. Mr. J. B.

The workshop officers were as follows: Secretary, Miss Juanita Howard; Assistant Secretary, Mrs. R. G. Zealy; and Treasurer, Mr. Richard Wilson. 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. Scott Named Editor of N. Y. U. Bulletin Savannah State College's Public Relations Chief, Wilton C. Scott, has been accorded the honor of editing the University's summer bulletin- for the Associated Work- shop in Educational Leadership.

From this number two teachers from Chatham County, Mrs. Sadie B. Stringer and Mrs. Virginia D. Nelson serve on the staff as typists. They are in a different division of the workshop than Mr. Scott, his main interest being the seminar in administra- tive problems. 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. Group II Mental Diseases Mrs. Marie Day, Chairman, Atlanta, Georgia; Mrs. Mable J. Garbett, Savannah, Georgia; Mrs. Ophelia Futch, Hinesville, Georgia; Miss Areola Harris.

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. t Mrs. Helen Carr, Chairman of the Lower Reading Group of the first summer session Elementary Workshop demonstrates techniques of teaching reading to children in the lower elementary grades.

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 During Summer Session Sixty-six persons are enrolled in the elementary workshop for the second summer session, as com- pared with 94 during the first ses- sion.

Copy Readers Essie Stokes, Emma C. Bryant. Adviser _ William H. M. Bowens August, 1952 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 enthusiasm. Even though the lyrics were difficult to understand Mr Duncan s interpretation was superb. Incidentally, we pay for these activities, and according to reports Mr. Duncan received in the neighborhood of one-thousand dollars for his performance. Only a small number of students were present at this concert Phis is typical of cultural programs in general. These are things students pay for and certainly help to broaden a student's cultural knowledge and experience. One should be more interested and apprecia- tive of the fine things of life. He should also look for things of a higher nature, for one of the main functions of education is -to cultivate with- in one an appreciation for those things which require some time and effort to cultivate.

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- Likewise, if a man has t baby in his arms, the woman THE ROVING REPORTER What Savannah State If s Wise To Be Smart Stands For S - is for strength and security in social and spiritual values.

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. Savannah State Speaks By GERTRUDE D. THOMAS Dear Diary: I shall hear footsteps. Soon a seat. Times Alta E.

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.

Enrollees Grouped Accordng to Interest The 66 members of the workshop are divided into groups according to interest or problems. Groups organized are: Language Arts, Arithmetic, Physical Education 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. He DID Lady (holding cookie over dog) : Speak! Speak! Dog: What shall I aay? shall never hear again, footsteps 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. Savannah State, 'til my sidewalks start walking. | 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. Lula E. Walker. 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. 'Hi August, 1952 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.

Reasonable 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. Maude Pye Hood, housing specialist and acting head of the School of Home Economics at the University 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." Answers Four kinds of teeth: Baby, wisdom, decayed and false. Compare "sick": Sick, dead, buried, Baseball and Religion One of the baseball fans at summer school summarized his re- ligion lesson thus: Eve stole first; Adam stole sec- ond ; Rebecca went to the well with the pitcher; and the prodigal son made a home run. -^Summer Theatre Presents Play By LIZETTAE FOOTMAN The Savannah State College Summer Theater Group, under the direction of John B.

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.

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. Dr. George D.

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, on Page 7) TTEND MINISTERS' INSTITUTE Partcipating in the Annual Ministers' Institute which was held on the campus June 23-28 are, front row, left to right: Rev.

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, i^iriety -eight Receive Bachelor of Science Degrees Ninety-eight persons received the bachelor of science degree.

Many of the persons enrolled in the workshop were graduates of Savannah State College. Others 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. Before coming to Savannah State College. Dr. Griffith served 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 teaching a class in Sunday School on the campus each Sunday. 3y MISS SARAH E. BUTLER "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. THE ANONYMOUS LETTER (Continued from Page 6) your train is waiting." He" helped me to the train. I thanked him. Only thirty minutes now. My vanity came to my rescue and I spent the entire time "primping Up." When I stepped off the train, I had no difficulty in finding the Doctor's office. I walked into the office and a young man came forward and spoke: "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. . "When did you leave?" he asked. 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." (Contintued on Page 8) Page 8 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 MISS CAMILLA WILLIAMS, SOPRANO, TO BE PRESENTED IN CONCERT (Continued from page one) 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. 1952 Football Schedule Released Tigers to Play 9-Game Slate According to an announcement from the office of Savannah State College Athletic Director, Theo- dore A.

"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.

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.
