Tlic organization ol the chapter is
due largely to llie foresit^ht, intcrcwl,
and energetic efforts of Dr. E. K. Wil-
liams, who explains Alpha Kappa Mu
is interested in developing scholarsliip
and is open lo all Savannah Slali*
students who maintain the required
average. Praise is also due Mr. Ben
Ingergoll and his efficient staff who
checked the scholastic c|ualifications of
each candidate.

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

Alpha Kappa Mu Chapter Organized

National Honor Society Set Up

"When it rains, it pours," or "IJirds of a featlier flock together" are pro-
verbs which may be aptly applied to this story.

Fast on the heels of the announcement that Savannah State College had
been listed as approved by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools came the establishment of the first national honor sdcicly on the
campus. The Alpha Nu chapter of the Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society was
set up on March 13. 1952.

Candidates for Alpha Kappa Mu
were presented in assembly on March
13, in Mcldrim Auditorium. Mr. Eman-
uel A. Berlrand. business manager and
gradiiati; member of Alpha Kappa Mu,
gave the history and purpose of this
organization. He cited as one of llic
aims the promotion of high scholar-
ship among college students. He also
repealed the working motto of Alpha
Kappa Mu: "Work as though you were
going to live forever; live as though
you were going to die tonight."

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

Delores Green, senior, sang "Caro
Mio Ben," by Giordanello, Professor
Hilliar)' Halcheti, acting chairman of
the department of fine arts, played
"Greek Dance" by Callinicos.

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

The nineteen candidates initiated in-
to the chapter group are Ruby Chil-
ders Black, Annie G. Bus^ey, Adolphus
D. Carter. Margaret T. Chisholm. Jim-
mie B. Colley, Mabel P. Fortson. Jewell
Gamble. Harry C. German, .\gnes U.
Harris. Alfred Jackson. Darnell R.
Jackson, Raymond Knight. Eddie T,
Lindsey, George E. Lovett. Dorothy D.
Mclver. Charles Moultrie, Rethel

KNOWLEDGE 1 5 STRENGTH

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

Durinf^ llie |ia^4l llirer inontlis. we have lieen enjoying, along with
II nuiuher of other SSd sludeiitw, wlml wc hclicvc to be "A Golden
O|)|)orluiiily." We Iwivi! Iieeii sharing whal is known ns llie Student
Tcneher experience. Tlie praclite of ullowiiig prospective teachers
ncl as cach^la iti a rail clnssrimm silimlion for a reasonable lengtli of
lime IH prohalily one of ihe most stimulating innovations in the
tcHeher-lrnining i)ro{;ram.

Wii curlaitdy don't feel so keenly the value or iinporlanoe of this
experience al first. We began with some inisgivings and anxiety,
an<l viewed this as armlher bulhersome requirement suhse<[ueiit lo
graduation.

Wlml elmnged our opinion':' While talking lo a few experienced
teaclu^rs we learned that the story of this activity was quite different
n few years ago, at least so far as SSC is concerned. The story of
its blooming devehipnient is another saga in the progressive history
of our (lollege.

As told to the writer by an alumnus, one attended college for
llio customary foin )ears. During one quarter for one class period,
the cadet teacher sfient the time observing a selected group of pupils,
Tor only one day of the entire [leriod, each student spent a day in
coni|)lle charge of the class. There were no seminars, orientation
periods, or field trips such us we have today.

Needless lo say, we were shocked at such a revelation and began
lo evahiHle seriously the program as we know it. Here we found in
a proee(hiri'! most of u^ taki- f(r gratited, "A Golden Opporunity."
Wc have a chance to find our weaknesses before they find us and
leove us labelled as "incompclenls." We are spared the brutal lesson
of the "seiiool of hard knocks" and the college of "trial and error."

The Student-Teacher program is "A Golden Opportunity." in
which we learn nnich to enrich our educational program. During
this period, opportunities are presented in a real situation and in a
natural setting so tliat we may perform duties and exiiibil skills that
are prerequisites to success as leachers. Every day is filled with
new and revealing experiences. There is nevr a dull luomnt, for
our lives are full and creative. So are tlie 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 duty, to provide worthwhile experi-
ences. For this great service the> deserve high commendation.

The teaching profession is among nian'l greatest services to man
and it is heartening to know that Savatmah 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 tlie department of education, and
Miss Donella J. Graham, coordinator of student-teaching oti 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 opportunitit^ are provided in the area of education and
teacher-training, we believe Savannah Slate will be among the first
with the finest,

1 lie significance of i^peciol days is
einjiliflsized in llic Presirlent's Mtssagf
in llir MafL-li issue of llie Southern

sidltil: "In ihese ns in all others,

"Then so be il, students, that in

! A Tiger Rambles in the
Library

I!) Curtis p. Harris
While lirowsing around in the Library
one aflernoon, I decided that I would
gallier some bits of information thai
might be of interest lo the SSC family.
As I wandered around, I discovered
that a new set of tables had been ac-
quired, giving us more room in which
to study without disturbing others.
While examining llie shelves, I came
aero-is a new collection of novels that
should provitle interesting reading for
u>. Two that siruck my eye were Frank
Yerby's /( {f'oman Called Fancy, and
Cardinal Spellman's The Foundling.

Miss Hawkins, College Librarian, has
moved inio her new office and is ready
lo lend assistance, as always, to those
who have difficulty in finding materials.
Five stu<lenls have been assigned to the
Library staff. They are: James Camp-
bell, George Thomas, Alfleta Gaskin,
Hazel Collier, and Celestine Hamilton.

A recent survey of the use of the
Library by students shows that more
of our students are making increasing
use of Ihis great educational lool.

Good Grooming
Aids Cadet
Teacher

By Carolyn M. Manigo
To be one's best self throughout ihe
student-leaching experience is an asset
not lo be even momentarily underesti-
mated. There i*. of course, no one way
lo be one's self. Ralher, there are some
important factors which, when out to-
gether, give you important clues not
only lo ihe making of a successful be-
ginning in ihe early days of your stu-
dent teaching, but also to your con-
tinuing success as a teacher.

The following suggestions concerning
your responsibility to yourself are of-
fered to aid you in gelting off lo a
good start. Your management of time,
and your personal appearance play im-
portcinl roles in achieving success in
student leaching.

A prospective cadet teacher mighl use
the following as a checklist for groom-
ing;

s my clothing clean ami well
pressed ?

Is my clothing praclical for ilie kinds
of activities in which 1 must engage
with ihe pupils?

I> my clothing attractively harmoni-
ous in ils color combinations?

Is my clodijng suitable lo my per-
sonality modish, without conspicuous-
ly allracling allenlion to itself? ^
Do I wear comfortable, praclical shoes
thai are regularly cleaned and polishty)
and in good repair?

Are nil my accessories fresh, neat,
and appropriate to school wear?

Is my jewelry in such good taste that
>es not draw undue allention to it-
If?

We are wishing every student suc-
ce>s in liis practice leaching. We say,
"Go into your work with the best
that you have in the end the best will
come back lo you."

What Is Our Destiny?

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

If we are to survive in this atomic age, there is a role for each
of us to play in our society. It is our responsibility to utilize our
capabiUties 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 lo tomorrow. Therefore, it is better for us to begin now to
prepare ourselves for the tasks which lie ahead of us.

The Bible speaks of man's reaping whal he sows. To that, I
should like lo add that some of us sow infertile seeds, especially when
we spend our lime doing nothing. Thus, we reap nothing. There are
too many people in the world who want nothing; they just tag along.
Could this be true of some of us here at Savannah State? Often
following discourses given by speakers, we hear remarks concerning
our purpose at this institution. This leads me to wonder whether it
is a common tliought 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 tlian to say that men make institutions and we
have great potentialities with us. We ourselves must face and recognize
our de^liin

-\nn Ruth Howard.

This is ihe story behind a story of
progress. The Creative Writing Edi-
tion of The Tiger^'s Roar, released last
month, marked more tlian a new high
in journalistic achievement at SSC. In
addiiion. tliis literary- effort, in the
words of its preface, "symbolized and
crystallized an ideal which the late
Dean Janie Lester constantly advocated
the developmeni of creative expres-
-iim Hiiiong the students of Savannah
Slate."

During the past year, several worth-
while contributions of a creative na-
ture reached ihe Student Publication
Office, bul Ihis kind of material was
not loo well suileil to newspaper edi-
tions. Sensing a great need of an out-
let ihat could encourage and utilize
the students' creative talents. Miss
Luetia B. Colvin, advisor to student
publicalion. 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 publicalion last month.
Sparked by the sincere desire for the
cuhivalion of creativity in expression
and thinking here at SSC. and the
kind encouragement of Dr. W. K. Payne
and others, the staff produced its first
Creative Writing Edition.

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

It is hoped that the Creaiive 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
hope<l that it will become "an Inspir-
it^ tribute to Dean Lester's high ideals
and splendid example." It is a project
born of a few minds and realized by
the concerted efforis of many minds
and influences.

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

There is nothing like teaching.
If you like doing good deeds.
Everyda> you can feel certain
Thai you have given lo one in need.

er with the Allen University Yellow
Jackets, January 18. The Yellow Jackets
took the first half, with a score of
43-37. The Tigers took the night-cap,
61-53.

The girh' game was "all .\llen" un-
til the last quarter, when Martha
Rawls, high-scoring ace for the Tiger-
etles. went to work dropping buckets
from the floor. Allen won the scor-
intr honors, with L. Dinkins tossing in
13 points. For the losers. Martha
Rawls dropped in 18, while Neta Sla-
ley came up with 7.

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

Then Slocum broke loose, and scored
two straight buckets, giving Suie a
four-point lead. Allen never recovered
from that blow, as the game moved
ahead for the Tigers. .\llen came
within two points of lying the score,

There Is Nothing Like
Teaching

By Cbrislim- Cheryl Wright
There is nothing more amusing
Than to watch dear children grow.
There is nolhing so encouraging.
And you want lo teach them more.
There is nothing in the world like
teaching.

There is nothing (|uil(- so tedious.
You keep toiling all the day,
Vel al evening on retiring
You can still find time to say,
"There is nothing in the world like
leaching."

True, there is nothing (|uile

leaching.
It may be the job for you.
For you'll get more salisfactic
Than from any work you do.
'Cause there's nothing in ih

like teaching.

human relations is through the
child in the classroom.

lined three factors of physical edu-
cation: (1) Power to act which we

The Public Relations Depart-
ment was well represented by Mr.
W. H. M. Bowens on June 27. He
tatcd that Public Relations is a
way 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.

In a splendid concert, Todd Dun-
can, internationally famous bari-
tone. ;ang to a large, appreciative
audience in Meldrim Hall Audito-
rium, Monday evening, June .30,
i;>52. at 8:30 p. m.

The brilliant artist magnificently
displayed the talents of a truly
great performer in the areas of
lone quality, richness, interpreta-
tion and coordination, tjualities 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-
oi's "Hear Me, Ye Winds and
Waves" from "Scipio." Mr. Dun-
'ent 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 nieanng to the group
of Negro spirituals, Haitian and
Creole folk songs which he sang.
Mr. Duncan delighted the audience
ith 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.

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

During the first session of sum-
mer school, the class in Modern
Social Problems 451 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, Savannah, Georgia; and
Mrs. Virgie L. Holland, Savannah,
Georgia.

Group III
Sharecropping Mr. Rudy Bol-
den. Chairman, Savannah, Georgia;
Mr. Wayne Hawes, Lincolnton,
Georgia; Mrs. Martha Edwards,
Daricn, Georgia; Mrs. Lurene B.
Dowdy, Hull, Georgia; and Miss
Elizabeth Lee, Augusta, Georgia.
Group IV
Religion and Morals Mr.
Thomas H. Scott, Chairman, Wood-
bine, Georgia; Mrs. Mattie B.
Hackney, Robinson, Georgia; Mrs.
Ethel Shipman, Tifton, Georgia;
Miss Annie R. Roebuck, Athens,
Georgia; Mrs. Eula McMillan, Quit-
man, Georgia; and Mrs. Sadie T.
Hall, Darien, Georgia.

Study of Art
Brings Appreciation

Reveals Historical Facts

By
MRS. C.EUTRUDE 1). THOMAS

In addition to visualization and
skill in self expression, a study of
art and other people and other
times is important In the growth of
iipjirecintion. Practically all works
of art ore historieol and therefore
I'orm a rich source of infovnuition
i>f the country and the period in
which they were produced. The
art of a people is an interpreta-
tion of its interests religious, ao-
ial, economic, and political. Since
artists are usually sensitive men,
their works tell of the events and
the people that interest them.

Frequently events of post iiges
are more fascinating than those
nf llic present day, and the biog-
raphies of the men who produced
the great nuisterpioces may ho as
obsorliing os fiction. When the
aims that motivate the artist, the
trials ani! ditficultie.'* that beset
his honest efforts, or the nior<
pleasant success and honorn tiial )v
enjoys are known, his works arc
more deeply appreciated. In tin-
ex|terience "f others, there i a
wealth or material that enn be hc-
lected to develop one wo that he
may become more cultured and In
formed, and thereby better able In
understand and evaluate the wurkn
of other people and other ages.

Enjoyment and appreciation fol-
low proper and artistic select ton
anri arrangement of works of art
in some form or other. And if
properly studicid, we will learn to
appreciate not only the master-
pieces of the nrtlat, the handiwork
of mon, but more especially the
marvelous power of the artist when
all powers are combined with the
ability to demonstrate the funda-
mentol principles of art Its chief
facets, the nature of form, anrl the
elements of form for it 1h 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 produclionji
are those of the work of artliitH of
today or the works of the maHLer.t
of all agen.

Arts and Crafts

The first summer session Arts

tive this summer. It was composed
of forty-nine in-service and pros-

direction of Mrs. Rosemary Curley
Jackson.

The group did scribble designs,
spatter painting, finger painting,
tempera painting, popier nmche

blue-printing and block printing.
Many individuals worked on special
projects and were quite succi^sful.

pupils In the next school year.

ment plant, the first person that
comes should get the .>)eat. Too
many women depend on chivalry
ami It is (lead. If an elderly woman
gets on, it might be all right. How-
ever, if he does not want to give
up hi.H scat^ 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 ho their guide, A.R.M.M.

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

fi. 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.

7. 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.

8. When an old man gets on the
bus, a young Indy should give him
her scat 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 equol 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,
ho should offer to hold 'the pack-
ages. Likewise, if a man has a
baby in his arms, the woman
should offer him a seat. Times
have changed; women are outstrip-
ping men in many areas and ham-
nerlnp to get into others, so why
ihouidn't equal opportunity mean

equal responsibility and equal re-
spect and deference. This is the

What Savannah State If s Wise To Be Smart
Stands For b? mrs. gertrude d. thomas

Luck, 'easy 'money, and a good
time were the notes to which the
younger generation of the "For-
ties" danced. Why work hard to be
a good student when everyone
knows that the world's prizes goes
to the popular person^, 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 girls 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
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

Lady (holding cookie over her

Dog; What shall I say?

By GERTRUDE D. THOMAS

Dear Diary:

Soon I shall hear footsteps, I
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're 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 my
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
a 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 Savannali State wherever
they go; they will help to carry
fin 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 sidewaUcs start walking.

Give Us A Thought

By GERTRUDE D. THOMAS

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

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

A CHILDHOOD NOTE

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

pen,
To write me as a friend.

Although I know you know just
how, just ,

Why, and when to write.

And how to spell each word cor-
rect

And place the periods right

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

IF I HAD MV 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.

Stresses Practicality

in the Classroom

William A. Early, newly ap-
pointed Superintendent of Schools
in Chatham County was the guest
speaker at the regular weekly
chapel hour in Meldrim Audito-
rium, Wednesday, July 16, at 10:00
a. m.

Speaking from the theme,
"Things I Think Are Important
Other Than Things You Get At
This Institution," Mr. 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 tor 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 democrac.v. 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 door:
to the people who oivn them, he
stated. Teachers have developed i
superior air. "Show me," he de
dared, "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 tcacher-
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 60 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 the group' to make their
teaching functional by teaching
things that can be used by stu-

I Teachers Return
For Educational

Development

More Teachers Studnng
During Summer Months

The presence of many in-service
arid prospective teachers on the Sa-
vannah State College Campus this
summer indicates that they arc 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 of
teachers, our mind leaps beyond to
consider that vast multitude in
whose sei-vice the teachers are on-
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 w .
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-
tire future of our great common-
wealth could be jeopardized if chil-
dren and youth are entrusted to
men and 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,
o;ily 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 I
learning: and

The Anonymous Letter

A Short Stary

By Emma C. Bryant

English 412, Creative Writing July

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 pa.=it.

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 wc both at-
tended school in Macon, Georgia. I
was on my home to Hawkinsville, a
a small town in Middle I'joi-gla.
Jay had secured a job and was je-
maining in Macon to work (iumg
the summer. He had to earn b'jme
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 jjd
my studies kept up Tiy spirits
from year to year.

Jay finally entered IVfeharry
Medical College after gr.iduation
from high school by taKing an
entrance examination. The.se were
hard years for finance but Jey
was determined to become a doitor
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 prontise
and to tell me of his work.

After four years of coit'nued
study Jay graduated from Mehany
Medical College, He went to At-
lanta and tx)ok the state m*'dijal
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 bfter a
year of practice we would be
married. Letters were frequent
now, but it was really a year be-
fore I saw him. He oame to viit me
and meet my parents. Aft ;r a
day's visit he left with my parents
consent for us to be marri-d.

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

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

The school building was on Hie
highway and the "mail n-an" as
he was called passed daily. Each
day I received a letter or a card
from Jay. Finally "the letter" as
1 mentally termed this usRial le+ier
came. For a few minutes I buried
my head in my arms on the f!esk.
I was not cryipg but I had to plan
quickly and act likewise.

My plans were set, I dismissed
school immediately and told the
children that I had to po 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 boO'th and called
Jay, In a few seconds the ope-
rator said that he was out but was
expected within an hour. T r.illed
the station and checked ttie trcin
schedule. I found the train was due
to leave in thirty minwtes. I came
out of the booth walked out of the
store face to face with an uncle.

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

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

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

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

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

One hundred and twenty-five'
graduates and their friends and I
relatives heard Bishop Bertram
Wilbur Doyle, A.B.. M.A., Ph.D., I
D.D., presiding bishop. Seventh
Episcopal District. C.M.E. Church.
Nashville, Tennessee, deliver the
67th commencement address,
Wednesday, June 4.

Speaking In Meldrim Auditorium
at 4:00 p. m.. 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 thinRs 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."

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
lip."

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?"

"YfiH."

"Where are you from?"

"Nashville," I lied.

"Is the Doctor out of town?"

"No jurtt around tho corner,"

"Busy?"

"Don't know. I'H get him. Have
a Beat,"

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

I didn't hear Jay come in but
before I cDuld think what was best
to say first I was gathered into hia
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
arms,

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

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

"I'm sorry," Jay said.

"Sorry?"

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

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS
The New Schools In Georgia

For almoFtt Iwd (Ir-ciKicH ((IiiciildrH in the Stater of GforRla have been
worltlnjc on a program for the Imprrtvcmcint of HchoolB. To many
teaclKTH tlil coric<'j)l of better nchooJH meant many different things.
The point wherr' the HchoolH are today revealfl an intricate and inter-
estin^ pr(i|c'o(4. A thr'He improv<'mentH have taken place many teachers
nnd laymen hnvr' thouf^ht of the Hchoots in their old frame of reference.
ITowt'ver, the nimiher oC chanReg taking place in rapid procession are
forclntf tlie clevclnpmr-nt of ni'W concepts.
Three particular arcfin of rhanRO

conh'ilnitinK Inrjfely to the develop-
ment of DiCHc new conci^ptH nf
education iw*' Hiilarien, cxtcnilcd
school termH, and the buildinR pro-
frram, Whon HaliiricH for tcnchers
were ralHod in accordance with i)ro-
vlsionH of llio Minimum Founda-
tion Program, ninny peoph' nnw tlie
HChooIn in n new lifrlit, When tho
j^chool term \vn IcnuHiened to the
standard minimum and (he pont-
week ami the pre-planning week
were added, many tonchorH nnd
laymen did not iinderHliind what
was haprx'iiinj!:. They often con-
nldered Ihenc iin nmkc-work nctlvl-
tles to juHlIfy (he ineroaHed pay.
By tlie time the proRram reached
the Hlnpc of conHtructlnp: new
Hrliool hiilhllnfTB, the points of view
beffftn taking on new aipniflcance
and moanintr. Probnhly for the first
time, many people realized that
tho new era In puliUr education wag
well on its way.

As one eonsidciH lln'ne throe
items, it Is not.difficuU. to undor-
atand why now teachers or cx-
porionced teacher.s with new con-
cepts of their rcaponslhilltlcs are
i-otiulred for the public sclioola.
Never before lias interest on a wide
scale been nrousod to pixtvide stan-
dards for Rood tcacher.i. The Ron-
eral education of the leaeher, the
professional preparation of the
teaehevs, nnil the quality of the in-
stj-uctlon are Intimately tied to
salary schedules.

Tho type of teacliiuR and Icarn-
ioR activities carried on in the old
buildinRs cannot bo transferred to
the new school lyuildinRs. The in-
odequacy of the old routine and
procedures transferred from the
old schools to the new schools
would appear startliuR and unreal.
The fact that new buildinRs provide
for the whole child mean odditlonal
physical facilities which would re-
quire a larpe group of additional
learniuR activities. The arrival of
the building program has served to
bring about underatnnding of the
other processes which have been in
operation for several years. The
developing concept of the now edfii-
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
teacher.-* 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
areas. This growth, vertical and 'growth,

Casta Diva oria from Bellini's

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
tlie 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
tho Holljfwood Bowl to Carnegie
Hall where in the spring of 1950,
as soloist with the New York Pbil-
harmonic-Synipbony, she sang in
the Mahler monumental Eighth
Symphony under Stokowski. In the
summer of 194E) she toured Pan-
ama, tho Dominican Republic and
Venezuela; , she returned in the
summer of l!t50 for reengagements
in Maracaibo and Caracas, Vene-
zuela and in Santiago de los Ca-
balleros, 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 f "Ido-

chestra Society during its April
Festival of Mozart Operas.

Camilla Williams' first record-

"City Called Heaven" and "0,

1951 she recorded one of her favo-

THE ANONYMOUS LETTER

(Continued from Page 7)

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

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

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

"Go on."

"Then I knew if you had written
this letter yooi 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 wa:
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 yon 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,

Althcnigh you asked me not to
wi-ite you again. I am compelled to
do so and take a risk that you
might get it before you leave. Why
didn't you write the letter? Why
did you have some one else to wiite
it for you?

"I must admit that though it
is all too much for me and that
I am both hurt and humiliated;
it was honorable of you not to
marry one man when another man
had your love.

I'll not trouble yau by writing
again.

Best of Luck,
Jay" '

I can see it all now," Jay
spoke after a long silence.

"I can too. An anonymous let-
ter."

"I understood when I received
your regular letter."

"If I had talked to you over the
telephone what would you have
done?"

"Guess I would have made the
trip to get you."

"Meaning "

"No, not that you came to get
me. We had to talk it over, dear."

"My enemy or your lover?"
"Wish I knew."

"The letter was mailed on the
train."

Yes tell you what."

"What?"

'We'll get married tomorrow

'Why tomorrow night?

"I'm not taking any more chan-
es of losing you."

THE SAVANNAH STATE

TIGER'S

ROAR

Vol. VI. No. 2

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE

South of "South of the Border"

By Frank Prince

My trips to South America
have taken me to four different
countries. In these countries, we
find different customs and ways
of Hfe in comparison to the Nnrth
American way.

In 1946, the 0I\ inpic team of
the epublic of Panama, of which
1 am a member, prepared itself
for the Central American and Car-
ibbean Games tliat were to be
played at Barranquilla. Colombia.
The procedures that constituted
tiie securing of a passport to enter
the neighboring country were not
too severe due to the fact that I
was travelling as an official of
the Panamanian government.

On December 17. wc flew from
Balboa. Canal Zone, into the out-
skirts of the citi, of Barranquilla.
When we arrived at the airport,
we were greeted by delegates of
the Colombian Olympic Commit-
tee, and a host of mosquitoes.

We traveled from the airport to
the center of the city, a distance
of about fifteen miles, in a large
omnibus. On the road we no-
ticed the different scenes that gave
a picture of the customs of the
people of that city. There were
burros carrying loads, a replica
of the days of Christ; there were
also carts drawn by oxen, and
women with loads on their heads
and babies in their arms. These
scenes carried our minds back to
the pictures we see in books about
foreign lands.

In the city we passed the Pala-
cio del Prcsidente (the President's
Palace), where we were astounded
by the beautiful uniforms worn
by the presidential guards, and by
the architectural beauty of the
building. We also saw the statue
of Simon Bolivar, the great South
American emanripatur.
Traveling Is Fun and Education
Combined.

The follMwing year. 1947. I went
on a similar trip to the beautiful
silver mining country of Peru.
Traveling by day over the great
Andes mountains was both thrill-
ing and frightful^ thrilling be-
cause of the privilege of observing
from air this great mountain
range and the craters within it;
frightful because of the unex-
pected and unpredicted stalling of
the plane's motors. Of course,
we all realized what would happen
if we fell; those solid mountain
ranges told us.

Self-Help Building
Program Success
At Wilmington

WILMINGION, 0- Oct. 20 (IPl.
Tlie stiideiil body and faculty of Wil-
mington College are cooperating on
their thinl major-self help campus
building program. Four years ago they
made ctlucalional history in headlines
when ihcy hegan conslruclion in the
volunteer work that made possible a
new 100-man dormitory. This time the
co-eds and fellows are helping to build
a new fine-arts center; a one-story
classroom wing of the new audilorium.

A committee of 30 students and five
faculty members considered and ap-
proved the suggestion that the college
community share in the construction of
the new 5400,000 campus addition. A
six member executive committee was
appointed, and is directing the organi-
zation of a program for this purpose.

Two years ago the student body and
faculty erected a new athletic stadium,
and in between the students have been
using excess energy- and enthusiasm to
renovate the chapel, fix up some build-
ings on the college farm and even
help redecorate the local children's
home. It has become a Wilmington
tradition for the members of the col-
lege family to help do it themselves
whenever there is a job to be done.

Wc landed at Limatoba Airport,
a ten-minute ride from tho city,
and were welcomed by. not mos-
quitoes this time, but by 45-degrec
weather for which we were uii-
prc|)ared. We were unprepared
beruuso we did not have top-coats.
In i*anama ive do not use this
wearing apparel because the tem-
perature there does not drop he-
low 6S. We are situated, geograph-
ically, in the torrid zone. So otic
can just imagine how we felt in
this strange land.

From the airport, we were e:;-
corted into the city by a motor-
cade of six motorcycle policemen.
This we enjoyed very much due
to the added attraction of having
the populace attracted to our cars.
We arrived at our scheduled place
of residence, making the ten-miti-
ute trip in about seven minutes.
This place, Escuela Militar Na-
cional (National Military School)
is situated near one of the t'bief
seaports of Peru. Callao.

Our stay in this land of the
Pampas, as it is seldom called, was
very enjoyable. Besides accom-
plishing our mission of partici-
pating in track and field events,
we made a tour of the country-
side, and some interior sections.
The average standard of living
there is far below that of the
people of the United States. In
conq)arison, my home is about on
the level of the U. S. Techno-
logically, the U. S. is far superior
to both mentioned countries.

On our trip around Ptru we
saw llamas, a very rare animal
which is found almost exclusively
in Peru. We also had the privi-
lege of seeing a mountain, a sec-
tion of the Great Andes, that has
a snow cap twelve months a year.
Here the people ski all the year
round. Silver is mined extensive-
ly in this land of the Aztecs. Mere
one will find this metal as cheap
as plastic is to people in the U. S.
The people are very friendly and
sociable. Spanish, of course, is
ihe language spoken.

New Chapel Policy
Adopted at Penn

Pittiburgh, Pa. (l.P.) A new chap-
el anil assembly policy has been adopt-
ed by the faculty of the Pennsylvania
College for Women. As recommended
by a Faculty-Student Council com-
mittee, the assembly month will he
four weeks long, and students will
have four cuts lo each assembly month.
The rules governing assembly alW'nd-
ance include the following:

1. One over-cut to four during any
one assembly month shall be made
up during the next assembly
monlh. More than four over-cuts,
up ot eight shall be made up dur-
ing the two succeeding assembly
months. Over-cutting more than
eight times during an assembly
month shall be considered a sec-
ond offense and the student in-
volved shall appear at once before
the Faculty-Student Board.

2. If over-cuts are made up in the
period asigned. any subsequent
over-cuts shall be considered a
first offense.

3. Over cutting which occurs in the
last month of an academic year
shall carry over and be subject
to penalty in the first month of
the next year.

4. Any over-cutting which does not
come under the jurisdiction of the
Faculty-Student Board, which shall
be empowered to deal with them
as seems best.

The Student Assembly Board has the
authority to pronounce penalties for
first offenses against the regulations
of assembly attendance. It also has
the authority to regulate excuses from
assembly and lo check reasons for ab-
sence.

Choosing A Career

When we come In lluil decisive stage in our lives where we iiuisl
ilinnse ii life ciireer, nr ever earn our livelihood hy sources we find al
random, we an: f(reed In eope wilh one of lifi-'s greillesl ])roI)lcms. It
is ihen llial one imisl he aide lo eximiinc his various capabilities, his
likes atid <lislikes. hit) inleresls. and bis greatest ambition.

Cbnnsing a ciireer is a problem to many. In deciding liow we will
cam our living, many nf us refuse lo face realily. We bide from our-
selves those little faults \\r have, which may prove to he a handicap lo
us in our clmsen career. We deceive ourselves inln thinking ihal tbey
will disappear as lime goes by. We decide to earn our living in a
cerliiin way and ignore olislacles which nniy ibwart our success. In
dning Ibis we tell niirselvcs thai "lime will iiire all ills." luid we forget
thai "ihere are exceptions lo every rule.'"

When we ihink of a career we tbink of a way in wbicb to earn
niir livelihood. To many a career means nolhing imire, Pcrliaps many
nf us would accpiirc a higher slalus during ihe course of our careers
if we would be more liberal in on iibinking when wc are choosing ibem.
Suc.-ess would piohablv come In many ninie people if. in cllnosing a
life's wi.rk. ibev would Ihink more of wbiil ihev have to offer sneiety.
ralber tluiii wbal smielv has lo offer tbem.

Wlu-n one allcinpis In begin prcparalion for a career be should
iisk himself ihe .picslion: How can I serve society hest? We should
remember ihal nol until soeiely deigns us worthy do we achieve suc-
cess. It might appear In the individual thai be is responsible for his
success in society, bul ibis is not enlircly true. The degree to which
one is able lo prescribe his cure for society's ills is also the degree tc)
wbicli be adiieves slalus in society ami personal satisfaction.

People who serve society liesi discover their greatest lalent some-
where along life's way. When tbey have discoverd what iby do best
Ihey incessantly strive lo nmke every p<.ssihle improvement. Tliose who
nbUiin the greatest fame and recnpnilion usually do so by indefatigably
striving l.iward the perfeelion of the work which they have dedicated
their lives lo. Tliey do nol deceive tlicmsclves about "their capabilities
or nilerest but face courageously the obstacles which confront them in
llieir quest for success.

When one chooses h profession there are many things which he
should consider otlu>r than his present qualifications. He should be
able In anlicipiile. if not lo a great extent, what will probably be bis
desiiny in the career wluch he has chosen. One should ask himself
>ueh questions as the following: Will I become bored or discouraged
after biivnig begun my life's wovk'^ Will 1 be willing to tolerate the
annoyances peculiar to my profession? Will I have the courage to con-
tinue in my profession after undergoing strain and stress?

The prohlem of choosing a career is one wbicb can be solved
witliout great difficulty if one is willing to perform the neces^ry self-
examination. One may think that such an examination is not
important, but it becomes evident after one has begun to make prepa-
rations for a career.

Cluu)sing a career can be acconiplished without much difficuUv if
every one who plans to enter smiie type of profession will first become
entirely acquamled with himself and learn how he can serve societv

Who Can Speck For a
Newspaper? A Puzzler
For College Editors . . .

When a news|mper speaks, whose
voice do we really bear?

This was the key prohlem facing
the ."jfj'! delegates to the Associated
Collegiate Press convention in New
York October 23-25. The qucslion kepi
coming up in a number of different
disguises throughout the three days.

A purl of this question centered
about the dilenmm of whether a col-
lege newspaper has the right to lake
an editorial slaiul on a political < non-
campus) contest.

James Wescbler, editor of the New
York Post, told the delegates ilmi nol
only do they have the rigbl to lake a
slaiid, but that "it is your duly." Com-
paring the school administration with a
publisher, he said. "If an editor finds
himself in basic di-iagrecmenl with the
publisher, he shouldn't he working for
him."

Hut John Tebhcl, vice-chairman of
the New York University journalism
deparlmcnl, felt that ibe analogy was
false. The atlminislration could not
be likened lo a publisher of a metro-
politan newspaper.

An informal poll taken at the con-
ference showed ibat more than half
of the editors had already taken a
-taiul on the presidential election. A
few others saitl they were planning to
take a position, but would allow a
minority of the staff to wrile a dis-
senting editorial.

Tliis brought up the problem of who
Is entitled to speak for the newspaper.
The following groups of persons were
suggested:

The school administration or the puh-
lications adviser. Reason: They are
ihe true publishers and policy makers.

The entire staff. Reason: The staff
puis out the paper and dese^^'es a
voice in shaping policy.

The editor. Reason: Only he can
decide, for he is the one ultimately
responsible lo the readers and the ad-
ministration. Otherwise, the staff could
shape policy contrar>- to the editor's
will.

The student body. Reason: It is the
duly of the college paper to reflect
the altitudes and opinions of its readers.

1 take yuur band - . . it's soft like the breeze of summer . . .
You smile - , your eyes are bright and warm with the glow of love.
Iland in hand we walk through the afterglow of sunset into the purple
haze of twilight. . . .

It's the last daj in November, somewhere in the deep and sunny
South. The sun is almost gone ... its arm-like rays reach straight
up into the heavens as if in prayer . . . prayer for a little more time.

The evening is lovely. ... It makes one feel glad to he alive. The
air is sharp with a tang of winter, yet it is warm and scented . . . with
a fragrance that belongs only to fall. . . . The Autunm leaves sift down
in great showers, as if they know that this is their last day . . . their
last hours. . . . We walk through the gathering shadows, you and I,
watching au'unin fall in death. My heart is sad, and I wonder bow it
will be when autumn is gone. . . . Autumn with its skies so blue, and
its harvest so brown, its rains so heavy, its colors so bright, and its
evenings so full of peace and tranquillity, . . .

A wandering breeze kisses your cheek, and sends your hair float-
ing acress my face like a flag of ebony glory. . - . The smell of it
reminds me of summer nights in a garden with you and wild roses.
... I lose all thoughts of Auunm. . . . Twilight deepens.

We reach the park. . . . How silent and beautiful it lies in the
dusk. . . , The trees are huddled close together in the shadows like
lovers ... as you and I. We think of this as our park, our world to
which we escape and leave behind us the bitterness of reality. . , .
Or should 1 say the bitterness of some realities. . . . For this is reality
and by all that is truthful it is not bitter.

Yes. this is ours. . . . Many times have we sat here and seen the
lieav lis ail golden in the sunset, silently being transformed into the
magic of nigh'. . . Here we have felt the cold of winter, the heat of
suuuner, and the breath of fall. Many are the dreams we have dreamed
in the shadows of these trees. . . . Here you and I have built many
castles and seen most of them crumble. . - . Here many, many times
have we kindled the fires of love, and with kisses that knew not time
nor space smothered them until there was nothing left hut smouldering
embers . . to be rekindled again. . . .

The Night

By James B. Slaler

The night is like an empty space,
It seems as if everyhody's dead
The birds, the baes, the human

race.
Nothing is heard, nothing is said.

I lie silence seems like a uorld

itself,
In a wo: Id of night.
Silence seems to rejoice
Now that day is out of sight.

And the night seems to have a

peaceful light
Thai can only be found in the

dark.
But through the darkness it

shines bright.
And only the night knows where

it parks.

Then there comes a beatning

light.

The dawn of what is day.

The night will drift out of sight,

And the silence will fade away.

Colby Analyzes
Arts College Aims

a i,-n ilU-. 1/e. K /.p.' Colby Cob
lejie is well aware ol the national trend
of self-exuiuination in ct^nncctiou with
the evaluation and improvement of lib-
er arls education and is conducting
several projects of its own in line with
it.

.Veeonlinn to President Juliun S.
Uixler. tlie ibeme of this year's con-
vocution, eelebratinit tlie completion of
the new Maf lower Mill campus, will
be an attempt to analne the problems
an arls eollene faces and the chnnges
that are vilal for the justified existence
of these colleRes,

Dean Ernest Marriner also stressed
the importance of the eonvocalion. He
>aid that it will help to show what can
he done in our local situation to strike
the correct linlome of core courso

Dean Marriner sniil that the attempt
to improve faculty-student relationships
was atiolber imporlani sle]> in the iiii-
provemeiU of the college. He feels
I but the present lechiiiiiue reeoBi'--
in^: ihe faculty as one governing body
and the Siudeal Council as another,
with the Joint ConunHtee for n clearing
house is the right one.

The problem now is how sludent
opinion enn reach the fundamental
authority, he laid, since the faculty
luiuiol act on all mutters. "There are
facnlly trustee dinners; why nut tu-
dent govenunenl-trustee dinners?" he
asked.

Ilnlh President Dixh-r and Dean
Marriner eiled ihe work of the Aca-
ilemie Council, a riroup made up of the
heads of all departments. This body
is "ntbinkinK the liberal arts pro-
gram." and has taken the work former-
ly done by the curriculum eonuniltee
on revitalizing the Colby eurrieulum."

Another group examining the proh-
b-ni and, specifically Ihe phase of moro
etfeetive leaching, is the local choptor
of the American Association of Uni-
versity Professors. ' One of the poinlH
this group has made is the need for
more ade(|uate recognition of students
ol superior interest and ability. A
eonuniltee of the AAUP has BUggested
a Senior Feltowship program. The
eommillee feels thai the program would
be "an exceedingly valuable meanw of
recognizing exeeplional academic
aebievemeni und ... a step in the di-
rection of a more general honors pro-
gram."

According to lli'- plan, t:irlain
designated sr-niors, would hr- alowed
lo pursue a program of individual
-Indies undr-r llie guidance of a mcm-
I er of the faculty, in lieu of a certain
portion of the eusloinary semcHler re-
i|uirements during their senior year.
The sludenls, selected by a facnlly com-
miltee. would meel with the faculty
conNullant as often ac tlie iuHlruelor
Ihinks desirable. A wrilten report al
he end of ihi' program would be sub-
milted in duplicate, and one copy would
li.- deposited in the college librury.

What Is Christmas?

By Timothy U. Ryal;*

Wlial does Christmas mean to
you?

I truly wouUl like to know.

Is it just another holiday

That all of us adore?

Is it the day when all mankind

.Should give praise to Him above:

To how and show sincerity.

Courtesy and love?

Is it the day when children are
hopeful and gay?

When peace descends, like a dove
in flight?

Or when the stars shine brightly
in the night?

Is it a time when happiness

Should abide in all the earth.

When people of all nations

Celebrate Chrisl's birth?

To me, it is a day to commem-
orate.

One of the greatest in the year.

To show your love and appre-
ciation

To One Who always shares.

He is the great Immanuel

Who brought peace, goodwill to
men.

And throughout eternal ages

He will in glory reign.

4-Part Teaching
Pfan Set Up
At Yale

M'.U ilWKN. Conn. (1. I'.). The
new Freshman Class of 1956 at Yule
has been limited to 1,025 men in line
with the University's long-range policy
of reducing llic overall cnroUnienl to
a more normal size. Last year's Fresh-
man Class numbered 1,169.

One of the highpoints in the teaching
program this year will be a four-part
"Plan of General Education in Yale
College" announced by President A.
Whilney GriswoUl last winter and sup-
ported by a five million dollar gift
from the Old Dominion Foundation.

Two of the four pans concerns the
expansion of Yale's Directed Studies
program, Directed Studies, inaugu-
rated in 19fI6. aims "to explore through
siimll classes ond close contact between
sludeiit and instructor the potentiali-
ties of a prescribed, integrated, course
of sliidy, a common intellectual experi-
ence for the first Iwo years of college."

A third part of the Plan calls for
a tutorial system for Soplioinores in
the 10 residential colleges. Qualified
soplioinores may lake one of iheir
courses in tutorial form, witli a faculty
member who is a Fellow of the col-
lege. The Yale tutorial system has
been in effect for several years for
juniors und seniors and now will be
expanded and also extended to include
sophomores.

The final part of the plan calls for
an expansion of the Scholars of ihe
House program. Outstanding senior:,
who are chosen as Scholars are relieved
of all formal classroom work and plan
ihcir own schedule under the super-
vision of a (acuity advisor. The stu-
deiiu thus have more time and incen-
livc for greater creative work in their
chosen field of study.

Notre Dome Begins
Compined Program

.>yuf/i Bentl, Jnd.. Oct. 20 .\ new
new live-year combinations Arts and
Lclleri-Engineering program, designed
lo provide the engineering executive in
modrn industry with a broad cultural
and social background in addition to
technical proficiency, has been inaugu-
rated this year at the University of
iNolre Dame.

The Rev. James E. Norton. C.S.C..
vice-president in charge of academic
affairs here, in announcing the new
program, said that although some al-
lowance is made for cultural and social
raining in the standard four-year en-
gineering course, the vast extent of
lechnical subjects thai musl be covered
necessarily limits the cultural aspect
of the student's training. The new
program, he said, will provide qualified
students adequate coverage in both
fields.

Farther Norton announced that the
student suocessluUy completing the
combination Arts and Letter-Engineer-
ing program will receive two degrees
from Notre Dame. The degree of
Bachelor of Arts wiib a major in En-
gineering-Science will i}e warded at ihc
end of the fourth year, and the degrei-
of Bachlor of Science in the profession-
al engineering course pursued will be
given al the completion of the fiflli
year.

In llie fir^t iwo years of the new
combination program, according lo Fa-
ther Norion. the student will follow the
regular Arls and Letters cHrriculum
except for certain preciscribed courses
in Malhenialics and science. In the
third and fourth years, the program
becomes progressively more technical
and in the fifth year it is completely
technical.

Father Norion -aid that students en-
tering this program wlio decide on
Architecture as their professional En-
gineering field receive the Arts degree
at the end of the fourth year like other
engineering students, but, in general,
Iwo additional years are required be-
fore tlip program for the degree of
Baelielor of Architecture is completed.

Narcotics Education Workshop Held
During First Summer Session

By Johnnie Paul Junes

A new and different workshop was conducted at Savannah State
College during the first summer session the Narcotics Education
Workshop, It was designed to acquaint the participants with the
relationshop of narcotics to the crime rate In America and the rest
of the world.

The workshop, conducted by Professor A. Van Frazler, consisted
of lectures, field trips, audio-visual aids, demonstrations, classroom
experiments and discussions.

The chief aim of the work-
shop was to teach the prevention
of the use of narcotics and to
conserve human resources. One
interesting experiment p e r -
formed by the group was the
distillation of beer and Its ef-
fects on the mind and body.

Captain C P, Weimer, Direc-
tor of the Savannah Police De-
partment's Traffic Bureau, was
one of the guest lecturers for
the workshop. He lectured on
the effects of alcohol on the
traffic and accident rate in Sa-
vannah, and demonstrated the
use of the Intoximeter in police
work. A scientific instrument
carried In all Savannah police
cars, the Intoximeter is used to
check the alcoholic content of
a motorist's breath.

The members of the workshop
also conducted a round-table
discussion in Meldrim Auditor-

ium at one of the regular
Wednesday assemblies. The dis-
cussion covered the effects of
alcohol upon the various systems
of the body. Among the specific
things discussed were the rela-
tionship of alcohol upon history
and literature, wine and the
Bible, methods of presenting
narcotics information to .stu-
dents of all grade levels and
ways of integrating It with other
subject matter.

Miss Fairy Peyton of Memphis,
Tennessee, served as chairman of
the group She is a teacher In
the city schools of Memphis and
plans to conduct a similar work-
shop for teachers there this fall.
Serving on the round-table dis-
cussion with Miss Peyton were
Miss Mary M Hill. Manchester;
Mrs, Dytha Dotson, Warrenton,
Timothy Ryals, Townsend; MLss
Marie Barnwell, Savannah; Miss

Assistant Librarian
Receives M. A. Degree

By Margaret Brown Lewis

"My year of study at Syracuse
University not only promoted
scholastic growth but strength-
ened my knowledge In the area
of human relations. My every-
day experiences with students
from all parts of the world was
an education within itself."

This statement was made by
Miss Althea W, Williams. Assist-
ant Librarian at Savannah State
College, who received her Master
of Science In Library Science on

storage space for each occupant.
Particular attention has been
|)ald to the lighting of the build-
ing to safeguard the students'
eyes.

All corridors throughout the
building as well as the stair
towers will have acoustical ceil-
ings to cut down noise and to
promote quiet which Is so es-
sential In buildings of this kind,

In each wing on each floor
will be located lavatory 'and
toilets together with shower
baths to accommodate the resi-
dents of that floor., Storage
rooms for the students' trunks
and luggage will also bo pro-
vided on each floor. Access to
each floor Is provided by means
of three reinforced concrete
steps, each tower being enclosed
with automatically clo.slng fire
doors and thus providing a safe
means of exit under all condi-
tions to the occupants of the
building. Particular attention
has been paid not only carry-
ing out all of the requirements
of the Georgia Safety Code, but
In many Instances of exceeding
them In the Interest ot safety.

On the first floor of the build-
ing will be located an apartment
to take care of the dormitory
superintendent or faculty mem-
ber In charge of the dormitories,
Adjacent to these quarters will
be located a large lounge In
which the students may find re-
laxation and In which social
gatherings may be held. In con-
Junction with the lounge and
residence quarters there will be
a kitchen to provide such food
as may be necessary for social
gatherings.

The building will be heated by
a forced hot water system, re-
ceiving Its .steam supply from the
central heating system on the
campu.s. Each room and corri-
dor will be heated by convertors
and the entire heating system
will produce adequate heat with
proper moisture control and
adequate zone control to produce
different temperatures as re-
quired in separate sections of the
building.

June 1, 1953, at Syracuse Uni-
versity in Syracuse, New York,

Miss Williams found the work
at Syracuse very challenging.
However, she met this challenge
and was rewarded with her de-
gree.

Miss Williams stated that al-
though Syracuse Is a private
institution, it is inter-denomina-
tional, and there are students
from Jamaica. Germany, France.
India, Thailand and other coun-
tries found there. She felt that
it was very advantageous to
have been associated with these

The Rosenberg Case
Goes Down In History

The fury over the Jullu.s and Ethel Rosenberg spy case came to
(L close June 18, 1053.

In April, 1051. five Americans were convicted of conspiracy to
roniinlt esplonajie agiilnsL the United States. The five were the
Rosenbergs, Ethel's bi"othcr. David Greenglnss and Harry Gold.

Offers from the United State-s Government to spare their lives
In i-eturn for a confession of spying was turned own by them. The
couple maintained tlielr innocence to the end. declaring their
sentence was a cruel and uncivilized action administered by Auto-
ciacy under Arbitrary power, Tlicy were, they said, victims of
the worst frameup In the history of our country, but they would
not yield their rights as free Americans.

Tliey were the first spies executed by order of a United States
(ivll couit. They were electrocuted In Sing Sing prison's electric
chair.

Emanuel M, Bloeh, attorney for the Rosenbergs, fought to the
lust for a stay-of-oxocutlon. Even tlie parents and two children
of the (loomed couple pleaded for clemency, but to no avail. More
Ihiin ten-thousand persons participated in a "Save the Rosenbergs"
demonstration before the White House.

Even after many pleas from the Immediate family and friends.
P'l'deral Judge Irving Kaufman refused clemency and stated he had
searched his conscience but found no reason for mercy. Were he
to show mercy he would violate the sacred trust placed in his
hands by the people, he declared.

A preliminary to their execution reminds me of the story of
Pilate, the Chief Priests, Scribes, and the people before the cruci-
fixion of Christ (St. Luke 23:1-30; St. John 18:29-39; 19:5-12), Christ
was a Jew. so were Julius and Ethel.

Supreme Court Justice William O, Douglas granted a stay-of-
executlon which did not last long. Justice Douglas played the
role of Pllnto In helping two people who were accused of betraying
their own country and divulging the nation's most closely guarded
secret.

The government has closed Its book, and history will record
the Rosenberg case as an example of two who committed treason
against freedom.

The Korean Conflict

One of the blcnesl contioveisles of our times Is the Korean
Wnr. Few people In the world understand fully the Issues or prob-
lems we tilce In the Far East, of which the Korean War is one.

The Korean conflict began shortly after the close of World War
U when North Korean Communists attacked South Korea. A line
known as the 38th parallel which was to divide the North from the
South was drawn.

America and fifteen other United Nations countries Intervened
to stop the Connnunlst aggression. Even though Russia was not
directly participating In the war, It was believed by the United
Nations that she was contributing men and materials to the Com-
uiunlst cause.

America practices the democratic form of government and Rus-
sia practices the communistic form. As a result two different views
grew In he South Koreans' minds. When a truce was proposed by
the United Nations, the South Koreans, under the leadership of
Synghman Rhee. bitterly opposed the truce because It would divide
South Korea. Rhee wants a unified Korea,

Now that an armistice has been signed, there is still doubt
In the minds of many throughout the world that It will last There
Is widespread belief that this agreement to end the shooting war
ui favor of a political one Is only a stalemate until such time as
the Communists deem It favorable to resume the shooting war

The eventual outcome will not be known for some time to
come. The problem Is whether South Korea will continue the tight
for a unified Korea or accept the UN truce.

The Mosquitos

Why can-t something be done about these pests? the mos-
quitoes. Simple items such as spray gun. Insecticide and a little
time will do the job. And why not spray the marsh'

Who is to blame tor their large numbers here at the College'
Are teachers and students to continue toleration of such pestii
in such large multitudes' Are they to expect relief only when
summer school ends?

Slap, slap, slap, "Listen to the roll call," says the Instructor
but the slap, slap continues about the classroom as the roll is
called. The Instructor, himself, is too busy slapping to do a good

Job of calling the roll or anything else for that matter. He slaps
his arms, his check, the back of his head, table and the wall.

Every student In the classroom Is slapping here, slapping there
and slapping everywhere. Slapping what? Why do you ask?
Mosquitoes, of course.

Each morning as students enter the classroom mosquitoes rise
up from their beds and make their attack. They greet us with
nice Juicy bites. To be sure, they work with the regularity and
efficiency of an army.

One day a photographer came In to take some pictures of our
class. He requested that everyone sit still for a moment. Impossible,
with such troublesome pests as these mosquitoes around. He had
to take his pictures between slips.

Students frequently doze in the classroom, presumably as a
result of having lost the battle with these persistent little pests in
the classroom and in the dormitory the night before. In short,
they won't let you sleep during the night.

I repeat, "Are teachers and students to tolerate such pests con-
tinually expecting relief only when summer school ends?"

We hope some remedial steps will take place presently. If not,
we'll look forward to Vacation Day. August 15, 1953.

The Administration
Merits A Big Hand

Dr. W. K, Payne has done a magnificent job in bringing about
some obviously needed Improvements In and around Savannah State
College. Rise and give him a hand.

Have you ever done a job well and nobody seemed appreciative?
Did everybody take It for granted in a rather indifferent manner?

Well, this Is the type of situation we find here at Savannah
State College. Anyone who has kept on the alert knows that gen-
eral conditions are greatly improved when compared to general
conditions four or five years ago. When I say general conditions
are Improved, that Is putting it mild. All aspects are better.

Teachers are improved, that is, their qualifications are marked-
ly superior. It should be noted that the majority of them are
teaching in their fields at present. They did not conform to this
practice a few years ago.

The students, although the masses could appear more cultured
and refined, have certainly come a long way otherwise. They seem
to realize that in order to succeed, one must study and prepare
himself. They have come to know that Savannah State College is
not a winter or summer resort. Many of them have ceased looking
for easy teachers and "sop" courses.

One can hardly help noticing the repairs and renovations of the
various buildings on the campus. A few years ago girls were simply
ashamed to entertain their guests in the dormitory, because of
dilapidated furniture and the general physical appearance of the
room. Camilla Hubert Hall is quite livable now. The hall floors
are tiled, the reception room has been completely renovated with
furniture settings which will compare favorably with that of any
school. My! What a pleasant change.

During this same period no place was provided in the dormitory
for students to wash, iron or do hair. A student would be campus-
bound If she were reported doing any of these chores in the dormi-
tory. A girl had to walk all the way to the laundry to press a
handkerchief. What about now? There is a spacious room in the
dormitory equipped with ironing boards and wooden hangers for
students' use. A special room is set aside as a beauty parlor.

The meals in the dining hall are decidedly improved. One can
hardly do justice with the comparison, Students now have edible
food and balanced meals. During "Reconstruction" days, meals
were neither edible nor balanced. Peanut butter, syrup and crackers
were a favorite menu.

Dr. W, K. Payne and his staff have really ushered in a new
epoch, and should be commended for their efforts. Let us give
credit where it is due. These are just a few of the many changes
that have come about under this present administration. With un-
tiring cooperation from supporters, SSC will be our Utopia.

The Arts and
Crafts Workshop

By Mary Patrick

The Arts and Crafts Workshop
at Savannah State College was
designed to meet the needs of
teachers in schools throughout
the state. The workshop pro-
vided the opportunity for gain-
ing insight into the philosophies,
techniques, and media of art
education and ways of adapting
these to the particular problems
and enviroment of the elemen-
tary and secondary schools.

Experiences were obtained In
the following: creative drawing,
painting, clay modeling, paper
mache construction and the
crafts. Lessons learned in the
wori^shop will be very helpful to
students throughout the state
this fall.

Mr, Philip J. Hampton, of the
Savannah State College faculty,
was director of the workshop. He
is a graduate of Kansas City Art
Institute with the B. A. and
M. A. degrees in Fine Arts. Mr.
Hampton has done additional

Should An Athlete Be Paid?

"No" Head Coach
John Martin

By Lottie Burnett

An interview with SSC's Head
Coach. John "Big John" Martin
on "Whether an athlete should
be paid to participate in extra-
curricular activities." brought a
negative answer from the like-
able head mentor. However, he
stated that athletes should be
subsidized.

Coach Martin immediately re-
plied, "No, athletes should not
be paid to play. A good athlete
plays for the sake of the game,
and for improving his slull rather
than for money."

Furthermore, he pointed out
that in a case where an Indi-
vidual is not financially able to
attend school, he should be given
a subsidy. The various ways of
subsidizing are (1) awarding cash
scholarships; (2) granting work
and work-aid and (3) having
organizations that are interested
in the individual as an athlete
pay his expenses.

Coach Martin also said, "IE
we are going to subsidize. It
should be on an involuntary
basis. By that I mean it should
be given according to the need
of the individual and his ability
to achieve. The only way the
college can survive athletically
in its competition with other
colleges and conferences is to
subsidize."

In conclusion he pointed out
that a small college suffers from
subsidization while the large col-
lege profits. "If we are going to
have a worthwhile team in foot-
ball, basketball, track and other-
wise, we must subsidize. If we
can't afford to give athletic
scholarships, we should have our
extra-curricular activities on an
intramural basis,"

Ford Fellow Tells
How He Received
Grant

By J. \V. H. Thomas

"In December, 1951. Ford Fel-
lowships were made available to
all colleges in the United States.
The purpose of these grants was
to improve faculty members in
the Liberal Arts area. Of the
number recommended by the
President of Savannah State
College, I was elected," said Mr.
J. B. Clemmons, Chairman of the
Department of Mathematics at
Savannah State College.

In an interview, Mr. Clem-
mons explained what he thinks
accounted for his fellowship
grant in seven detailed steps.

The first step was a confer-
ence with President W. K. Payne,
who emphasized the importance
of improving the caliber of in-
struction throughout the entire
college. From the conference
with President Payne. Mr. Clem-
mons stated that he recognized
that this would make a real con-
tribution to the training of the
youth of the State of Georgia,

In the second step, he was re-
quired to write an intellectual
autobiography which extended
from the time he entered col-
lege until his present status. He
indicated that the theme of the
autobiography presented was
that he always tried to prepare
himself well for whatever posi-
tion he held.

The third step was the start-
ing of the plan and purpose of
what he expected to do if grant-
ed a fellowsliip.

"As soon as I read the Strayer
Report which affected changes
in all institutions of the Univer-
sity of Georgia, I recognized
that the mathematics depart-
ment was not equipped to do
the new functions assigned it I

"Yes" Athletic
Director T. Wright

By Margaret B. Lewis
An athlete should be paid
enough to maintain himself in
school, because all athletes repre-
senting a school are students of
that school and are expected to
meet all student requirements."
This remark voiced the opinion
of Theodore A. (Ted) Wright,
Associate Professor of Physical
Education at Savannah State
College, when asked whether or
not an athlete should be paid.
The interview took place in Will-
cox Gymnasium on June 25,
1953.

When asked how much should
an athlete be paid. Coach Wright
replied. "No more than any other
student who is contributing
equally to the same cause." He
stated that since the financial
status of students vary accord-
ing to the parental income and
other economic factors, all stu-
dents do not need the same aid.
"If President Eisenhower's son
were an athlete, representing an
Institution, he would not need as
much maintenance as other stu-
dents," he said.

Coach Wright went on to
enumerate factors which Influ-
ence the lives of athletes: "First
of all, an athlete cannot be
helped unless he comes through
the work-aid committee," he
said. He further stated that
they are students first, then ath-
letes and they must have at
least a "C" over-all average in
order to be eligible to receive
work-aid. He pointed out that
the athlete must spend his time
practicing and conditioning him-
self In order to make the team.
At the same time, he has to make
his grades in order to stay In
school.

Coach Wright stated that stu-
dents who are members of the
band, choir, or other organiza-
tions have six years to complete
their college work while ahtletes
have only four years to represent
an institution "There are cer-
tain rules and regulations for
conferences and rating commit-
tees of schools that have to be
considered- One requires the
athlete to maintain a passing
average in two-thirds of his
work. No other work-aid speci-
fies such requirements. Another
regulation governing athletes
states that once he has signed
at a school and finds it neces-
sary to change schools, he is not
eligible to compete In athletics
at any other school until he has
remained there for at least a
year. When he signs up at a
school, he has sold what he has
to the school."

Coach Wright referred to an
Important factor to be consid-
ered in deciding whether or not
an athlete should be paid, He
said. "Athletes are risking phys-
ical injuries more than any other
student. If they are Injured. It
lessens their ability to carry on
their other activities." He point-
ed out that students who play
in the band, sing in the choir
or have other types of work-aid
jobs, are not exposed to danger

He concluded by stating that
schools take in revenue from
athletic performances. When
asked. "What does an athlete get
out of it?" He further empha-
sized that the amount paid to
athletes should vary according
to individual needs,
further expressed my desire, as
Chairman of the Department of
Mathematics, to meet this chal-
lenge in both personnel and
equipment." Mr. Clemmons
stated.

The fourth step was a request
that he contact prominent people
with whom he had worked, who

Secondary Education
Workshop Makes The
Curriculum Dynamic

By Mrs. H. E. Clark

The principals and In-service
teachers who attended tlie Sec-
ondary Workshop at Savannah
State College composed the most
active and Interesting group on
the campus. All members en-
gaged in teaching tackled vari-
ous problems related to the com-
munity In which they live and
teach.

The surveys, discussions, con-
ferences and skillful guidance on
the part of Dr. C. L. Klah.Clialr-
nian of the Education Depart-
ment and Workshop Director,
tuuglit the participants how to
make the Curriculum In the
Secondary School Dynamic.

The Workshop m embers
learned to dirforenclate between
11 "do" democracy and a "talk"
democracy; they also learned to
develop a "know how" educa-
tional system rather than the
old traditional "know about" sys-
tem.

The 10 members of the work-
shop were divided into groups
according to their In to vest.
Groups organized were Business
Education, Indu.strlal Education,
Language Arts, General Science
and Social Science. Problems
were discussed and rcsciftxh work
done on the i)robIomH by mem-
bers of the groups. Exports In
the field were called In for con-
sultation, The groups then out-
lined Ihctr topic and discussed
the cause, effect and po.S3lble so-
lution of the problems.

Books on curriculum planning
In the Secondary Schools, special
bulletins, educational reports,
audio-visual aid films, records
and field trljj.s were used by the
groups to collect Information for

he said,

A leave of absence had to be
obtained by recommendation.
Tills was granted by the Board
of Regents of the University Sy.H-
tem of Georgia, Mr. Clemmons
pointed out.

"The next task was to use well
the $5,200 granted to study
toward my Ph, D. degree In pure
muthematlcH. After a confer-
ence with the chairman of the
department of mathematics at
the University of Southern Cali-
fornia, I was able to select the
proper subjects to meet partial
requirements for the Ph. D. de-
gree," he remarked.

After about three weeks he
was recommended by one of the
members of the department as
official tutor of mathematics for
the Athletic Department, he
stated. Mr. Clemmons cited this
as the most cherished experience
of his career. After one semes-
ter's work, he had gained the
confidence needed to accept the
challenge to continue his .study
for another year, he added. Be-
cause of his outstanding per-
formance In mathematical logic,
he feels that his research proj-
ect will be done in the Califor-
nia area.

Mr, Clemmons hopes to com-
plete all requirements for the
desired degree by June, 1954,
When asked how his advanced
study would affect the mathe-
matics program at Savannah
State College, he replied. "I feel
that I am better able to map
the course which the college
shall take, where the area of
mathematics is concerned. Fur-
ther, I am much more sensitive
to the value of a department to
operated in a systematic unit to
meet the functions and needs of
the college,"

In several instances Mr. Clem-
mons gave credit to the Presi-
dent of Savannah State College
for his recommendations and
guidance throughout this partic-
ular academic adventure.

In many re.spcctH this general
desire to learn and to Improve
Is the basis for unlhnlted Rrowth
jji-rsonallty and vision. Stand-
ards of behavior In various
phases of living may be ex-
iunlned and analyzed. Almo!it
everyone jjosscsses .standards
which lie has develo|)ed through
liiuiKlnntlon or through con-
scious effort. Attending collcRe
usually provides the time and
the atmospheie needed to ex-
amine one's behavior. There arc
opportunities to see In others
some of the things which arc
desirable, and likewise, oppor-
tunities to see some things are
very repulsive.

Attending college should mean
higher .standards In ninny areas
of living. One should expect to
do better those things which he
already knows, Hven habits, like
walking and speaking, should be
lifted to a new level. Agreement
and disagreement on Issues
should be expressed on higher
planes. In addition to the ele-
vation of what one possesses al-
ready, systematic effort should
be made to acquire new habits,
attitudes, and ways ot expressing
one's self.

There Is also some concern to-
day about the quality of per-
formance which college students
give. It Is unfortunate that the
degree of completeness of an
activity often results In disap-
pointment to those who believe
that education Is Important to
happy living. Many activities
show incompleteness and lack of
cure. Some want to rrttlonnllze
the situation by saying that there
was not surriclent time to do a
"turn key" Job. Habits of ex-
cusing one's self so readily when
carelessness shows Itself nre
learned just as facts and Infor-
mation are acquired. It Is time
for college student^s to make
thoroughness and completeness
a part of all ot their living.

In an age where the welfare
of many depends upon the
thoroughness of each partici-
pant, nothing can be considered
lightly or unimportant. The
ability to perform with accuracy
and thoroughness and to re-
quire it of others is one of the
traits needing emphasis today In
modern education. The pride
which individuals once had in
accomplishments which were
performed by a single person
should be developed for coopera-
tive projects. This attitude or
point of view will lead to more
effective community life and
happier individuals.

Prof. Lockette
Tells Of Work
At Illinois

By Joe Anna Campbell

Savannah State College. June
26. Professor Rutherford E,
Lockette. Assistant Professor of
Industrial Education at Savan-
nah State College, gave high-
lights and opinions in an inter-
view yesterday concerning his
position as graduate a.ssistant In
the Department of Industrial
Education at the University of
Illinois during the academic year
of 1952-53.

"I did a research project and
developed a course of study in
applied electricity for the Indus-
trial Education Department. I
based my research on the analy-
sis of electrical occupation," he
stated.

Professor Lockette pointed out
that the objective of this course
Is to prepare teachers to handle
electricity in the industrial arts
area.

"The students seemed to have
felt the need for study and did
study. They spent several hours
a day In the library attempting
to get as much out of the course
as possible."

"With the approach of inter-
gration, and it seems to be ap-
proaching, this should focus our
attention on the need for better
preparation at the lower levels."
he added.

Professor Lockette stated the
belief that students should go
about their work as though it
were a vocation.

"The 12 students enrolled in
the course showed exceptional
ability and background." he said
In commenting on the fact
that he was the first Negro to
teach at the University of Illi-
nois, he said. "It depended most-
ly upon the individual more than
the race. The question of being
a Negro was just another inci-
dent."

at Columbia University this sum-
mer. This study is expected to
enrich activities in the Inn, Miss
Doris L. Harris, Veteran's Clerk
and Cashier. College Inn, and al-
so a graduate of Savannah State
College, is in full charge of the
Inn during the absence of Mr,
Freeman, Her duties: managing
the snack bar. the book store
and managing veteran's affairs.

Miss Harris released the infor-
mation that there are 40 Korean
veterans in attendance at Sa-
vannah State College. With the
applications received to date, the
number is expected to be at
least doubled by September,

The Veteran's Secretary urges
all veterans to make a wise
choice in their field of study as
Korean veterans will be permit-
ted to change their fields only
once while studying under the
G I. BUI of Rights. This change
can be only when sufficient rea-
sons are furnished the Veterans
Administration Office to justify
the change

Korean veterans are advised to
bring enough money to school
with them to pay all expenses
for at least a month. The Vet-
erans Administration is now pay-
ing expenses until the termina-
tion of each month instead of
paying in advance as with the
World War II veteran.

A Prosperous Year To Class Of '57

Many New Books
Added To Library

Since the library is really the core of any educational institu-
tion, it must therefore strive to meet the needs of all of its clientele.
With this view in mind your library staff has endeavored to build
up the library collection and services. As a resuit of this there are
many new books on our shelves for your use. This expansion has
brought forth a few changes in library regulations and services.
Circulating-books are now available for a two week loan period
instead of the one week limit

previously used. The number of

subscriptions to newspapers and
magazines has been increased,
back issues of the New York
Times, Savannah Morning News
and the London Times are avail-
able on microfilm. A recordax
microfilm reader is maintained.
Films, pictures and record col-
lections are now in the develop-
mental stage. In a matter of a
few weeks, a new service will
be provided for the convenience
of our patrons: a rental type-
writer will be placed in the stock
room by the Graymont Corpora-
tion. Persons wishing to use the
typewriter should make inquiries
at the desk. This is the first
time, stock permits must be se-
cured at the circulation desk by
all persons who find it neces-
sary to use the library stacks.

In keeping with the institu-
tional calendar of events and in
the area of publicity, periodically
attractive displays and exhibits
will be arranged in the library
reading room. It is hoped that
these exhibits will help inspire
and promote variety and growth
in reading by our patrons. The
library staff invites suggestions
for books and other materials
that the students wish placed

Never fail to ask for informa-

if the need arises. The efficient
service your library renders is
also determined by the way you
as a patron cooperate with the
library staff and regulations. If
you have not registered with the

Winner 1st Book
Off The Press

The first novel by Gwendolyn

week by Harper and Brothers of
New York City. Titled "Maud
Martha," the story centers
around a Negro daughter, wife
and mother who Uves in the
Bronzeville section of Chicago.

According to the publishers-
statement, the novel tells in
vivid, poetic prose "the fear that
underlies every moment fear
that beyond the safety of the
neighborhood world the person
born with a dark face will be
looked upon as an intruder."

Miss Brooks' first volume of
poetry, "A Street in Bronzeville,"

for her second volume of poetry,

Are You Guilty

Dorothy Moore '56
The spirit of the Savannah
Stale College students seems to
be a little off this school term,
which may be the cause of our
football defeats.

The students arc partially
members of the football team.
During the time S. S. C. is win-
ning there Is plenty of pep which
encourages the team, but when
we are losing everything is dull;
therefore, the team becomes less
active.

When a player gets injured
the yelling stops and he feels as

if the students think that he
didn't play well. This naturally
depresses the Injured player and
Is the main time cheering should
i:? dene.

When a player is entering the
field one should not make smart
remarks because it will discour-
age him and cause him to fill
his position with remorse and
insecurity.

So, if the students of S. S. C.
would yell throughout the game,
perhaps victory would be at-
tained if not in score in mo-
rale.

Current News

By Thomas R. Evans '55

The most shocking tragedy to
be felt by the entire American
public, for .some time, was the
kldnap-murder of little Bobby
Greenlease. This boy. .son of ;i
multi-millionaire, was appre-
hended by Miss Bonnie Brown
Heady and Carl Austin Hall. The
twin kidnappers received a
5600.000 ransome and later mur-
dered the child. They are now
on trial in Kansas City. I be-
lieve that the court's decision
will coincide with the opinion of
the American people on what
should be done to this couple.

The recent election and the
appointments of certain officials
to high offices in the govern-
ment may have some effect on
the present administration pol-
icy.

The appointment of Mayor
Thomas A. Burke of Cleveland
by Governor Frank J. Lausche
of Ohio, a Democrat, gave the
once minority party a majority
of 48 seats in the Senate to the
G. O. P. 47. It is interesting to
watch how the Senate votes on
the next legislative issue.

The election of Lester Johnson
to Congress marks the first time
that a Democrat has ever been
elected from the Ninth Wiscon-
sin Congressional District. The
election was viewed with nation-
al interest as a possible reflec-
tion of a midwestern farmer
vote on President Eisenhower's
farm policy. Could this mean
that Wisconsin is going Demo-
crat in the Congressional elec-
tion next year?

The appointment of Governor
Earl Warren as chief justice of
the Supreme Court could be a
strategic move toward solving
the segregation problem in the
public schools. This issue will
come before the Supreme Court
in the near future.

Mr. L. B. Toomer. a local Negro
civic leader, was appointed by
President Eisenhower to the
Treasury Register post. He is the
first Negro to hold this office
since James C. Napier was ap-
pointed by President Coolidge
thirty years ago.

The Yugoslav - Italian clash
over Trieste remains yet to hold
the spotlight in international
news. Both of these European
nations claim possession of this
strategic coastal city. I predict
that the United Nations will in-
tervene in this dispute and will
try to work out an agreement
between the two nations.

ECHOES

Earns Madison Hudson '55
Once there was a troop of echoes

Dancing in the air.
Where tliey went nobody knows

But I am sure they went
somewhere.

They sounded like a band of
beating drums
Floating on a cloud-
The sweetest songs one would
like to hear
But not so very loud.

Most people thought it was the
angels
Singing their theme song after
a silent prayer.
To see this sight would have been
an amazing thing
But no one could get up there.

So float on echoes, wherever you
are,
And keep the tune of your
sweetest songs.
In a mental picture we will see
you
And count all the loved ones.

Meet Our President

It is a pleasure to greet the
TIGER'S ROAR staff and the
citizens which it serves at this
season of the year. The opening
of school Is always an important
period for both the students who
are returning and those who
have come to the college for the
first time.

Each group comes to the col-
lege looking for some definite
things which are to be realized,
extended, or started during the
current academic year. The
frame of mind is a genuine basis
for progress if it can be sys-
tematically developed.

One method for developing
this attitude or frame of mind
is systematic planning. Students
should write down in their
diaries or career books or on a
plain piece of paper some of the
important things which they
would like to accomplish or
achieve during the present aca-
demic year. The act of writing
out these goals will impress upon
them thenecessity for doing
something toward their realiza-
tion. At the end of the fall
quarter just before school closes
for the Christmas recess, this
list should be reviewed by the
student. At that time some at-
tempt should be made to evalu-

ate the progress made toward
the realization or achievement of
each objective. This preliminary
evaluation will serve as a founda-
tion for readjustments in goals
or aspirations for the winter and
spring quarters. A similar pro-
cedure should be followed at the
end of the winter quarter and
the beginning of the spring
quarter.

At the end of the spring quar-
ter a special time should be set
aside for the final checking of
progress or development that has
taken place. In each instance
the student should be objective
in his evaluation. Care should
be taken to face in every respect
the situation as it exists. Where
no progress has been made, an
explanation should be forthcom-
ing which would not be a mere
relationship, where progress has
been made an explanation should
point up the things which made
progress possible. It is my opin-
ion that the application of this
technique will help to make the
school year a better year for
both freshmen and continuing
students. It is hoped that each
student will give the plan an
honest trial. May the year 1953-
54 be monumental in the college
career of each one.

Perhaps you think I place every-
one above you
But, I love you. deep down in

my heart.
There are some things you may

not understand
But they are meaningless, as you

should know.
So please accept me as I am
Because in my heart, I love you.
Time changes things 'tis true.
Yes, it brings things we can

hardly bear.
It hasn't changed you, your love,

nor smile
That's why. in my heart I care.
Don't think I am a flirt
When I am constantly with

someone else;
Please understand that I love

you
And I want you for myself.

When my love for you is being

doubted
And what to do, you do not know.
Just remember that I love you
And my love shall follow you

wherever you go.

And every word he said speeded
directly to your heart.

And you thought then you would
never depart.

Just think of the times in the
moonlight

You kissed, and your heart beat
as though it should miss.

The time he was your Romeo
and you were his Juliet;

Yes, these are memories, mem-
ories you will never forget.

A HEART'S CONFESSION

Nadene Cooper '55
Perhaps you think I have some-
time love
And my actions are very odd.

MEMORIES YOULL NEVER
FORGET

Dorothy Moore '55
When your lover has left you

and you are all alone;
And your life is worth nothing

but to roam.
Just bring into your memory the

time he was home,
Yet. those days are passed and

gone.

Think of the times you strolled
in the park;

A POEM. A PICTURE, A SONG

Nathan Dell '54
To me you are a poem,

A lovely poem,
-A poem whose writer is He who
wrote
Across the sky the milky way,
A poem that moves with the
grace of
Drifting clouds on a still day.

To me you are a picture.

A lovely picture,
A picture whose painter is He
who
Paints the sunsets and the
dawns
And the glory of autumn.
A picture whose beauty shall
never fade,
But always be as fresh as the
morning.

To me you are a song
A lovely song . . .

Whose composer is He who com-
posed the music of the wind
. . . and of faUing rain.

A song whose melody I hear
whispering to me and haunt-
ing me when the shadows
are deep . . .

ALPHA PHI ALPHA

"Manly Deeds, Scholarship and
Love for All Mankind," these are
the aims of Alpha Phi Alpha.

This year marks the fifth year
that the Alpha Phi Alpha Fra-
ternity has been in existence on
the campus of Savannah State
College.

The Alphas are planning to
make this year one of the great
strides of progress. During the
school year this organization will
celebrate their annual observ-
ance of Pounder's Day, Educa-
tion for Citizenship Week, and
many other inspirational and ed-
ucational activities.

The officers of Alpha Phi Al-
pha Fraternity, Delta Eta chap-
ter this year are as follows: pres-
ident, Curtis V, Cooper; corre-
sponding secretary. John B. Mid-
dleton; recording secretary, Wil-
lie J. Anderson; dean of pledges,

retary, William D. Wood. Jr.;
treasurer, Timothy U, Ryals; his-
torian, Thomas J. Polite; chap-
lain, Charles L. Brannen; ser-
geant-at-arms, Rudolph V. Hard-

These officers of Delta Eta
Chapter are working hard to
maintain the objectives and tra-
ditions of Alpha Phi Alpha since
its historical beginning. Decem-
ber 4, 1906, at Cornell University.

ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA

The Alpha Kappa Alpha Soror-
ity under the leadership of Miss
Delores Perry is planning big
things for the campus and com-
munity.

I hope you're looking forward
to its annual play which will be
presented either the winter or
spring quarter. And don't forget
"fashionetta" on the 20th of No-
vember.

Alpha Kappa Alpha has many
other surprises in store for you,
so keep your eyes and ears open.

The Gamma Clii Chapter of
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity
opens its 1953-54 school year with

the following new officers:
James Curtis. Polemarch
Ezra Merritt, Vice-Polemarch
James F. Densler, Keeper of
Records

Archie Robinson. Keeper of
Exchequer
Samson Frazier. Historian
James Murray. Strategus
Oscar Dillard. Dean of Pledges
With these able officers work-
ing coherently to achieve, we feel
certain that this will be the
Kappas' most successful year at
Savannah State College.

During the summer months,
the Kappas who were enrolled,
worked cooperatively with the
Savannah Alumni Chapter and
published the "KAPPA KOL-
UMN," a monthly news digest.
These publications were designed
to inform vacationing brothers
of the happenings on the local
scene; as well as to serve as a
stimulant for the forthcoming
school year. The success of these
publications may be directly at-
tributed to the sound advice of
Mr. John Camper and the very
efficient work of James Densler
and Johnnie Paul Jones.

OMEGA PSI PHI

The Alpha Gamma Chapter of
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity starts
the 1953-54 school year with the
following officers: Basileus,
James E. Hill; Vice Basileus,

Keeper of Finance. Roy Allen;
Chaplain, David Hook; ParUa-
mentarian. Arthur L. Johnson;
sergeant-at-arms. Robert Phil-
son; and Dean of Pledgees. Wal-
ter McCall.

Even though the chapter is
relatively small, the year prom-
ises to be a very prosperous one.
To uphold its cardinal principles
scholarship, perseverance, up-
lift, manhood and to instill in
all Savannah State College stu-
dents the need of brotherhood
are the chapter's aims. We must
remember "Men are judged by
their fruit."

Mercedes MltchsU '54

"The body Is the shell of the

soul, and the dress the husk of

that shell; but the husk often

tells what the kernel Is."

To dress well and appropri-
ately denotes that one is not
only educationally efficient but
culturally secure. There is an
appropriate attire for any and
every occasion. School clothes
should be simple, conservative,
yet fashionable. Set off last
year's sweaters with a small but
colorful scarf, a dainty collar or
a simple yet attractive necklace.
A well groomed young lady is
never overdressed. This holds
true for church, dinner, teas, and
formals. The simplest garment
can be made the most attractlviv
The young man's problem In
dress is a simple one, A well-
pressed dark suit is always hi
good taste excluding strictly
formal.

Remember . . . neatness and
cleanliness are necessary always
to give character and poise.

fun for all in the past.

Educationally, the Deltas spon-
sor chapel programs and schol-
arship projects. Each year the
Freshman woman who has the
highest cumulative average is
honored at the May Week Chapel

A careful examination of the
1953-54 plans for Delta Nu will
prove that the members have
planned a program that is In

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Vol. 7, No. 3

S.S.C. MAKES HOMECOMING HISTORY

Give Thanks-
For What

Ruby Simmons '54
Shirley L. Jenkins '54

For the new suit you got for
Homecoming, the new car you
cruise around in, or for being
able to attend the dance after
the game. No, we should be
thankful for more than these.
For Thanksgiving is a special
time to say a special thank-you
to God for food, family, friends,
and home.

The first Thanksgiving was
celebrated in 1621 by a group of
people known as the Pilgrims,
under the leadership of Governor
Bradford. However, like most
of our international holidays, the
germ dates back to the olden
times.

Even though the Pilgrims cel-
ebrated the first Thanksgiving
in 1621, it did not become na-
tionally known until 1789 during
the Washington administration.
Washington's proclamation did
not prove to be effective, because
the custom of all Americans cele-
brating Thanksgiving on the
same day did not last. Some
states observed Thanksgiving on
one date, some on another and
some did not observe it at all.

It was Mrs. Sarah Hale, Amer-
ica's first woman editor, who,
through editorial reports and
letters to the Governors of all
the states, and the President,
asked them to aid in the reissu-
ing of the national Thanksgiving
Proclamation. Finally, her hopes
were fulfilled in 1863. when Pres-
ident Lincoln issued the first
truly national Thanksgiving
Proclamation, setting apart the
last Thursday in November as
the date to be observed.

While the first national cele-
bration of the day was held in
1863, the first international cele-
bration was held in Washington
in 1909. It was conceived by the
Rev. Dr. William T. Russell, rec-
tor of St. Patrick's Catholic
Church in that city, and held in
obedience to a request from Car-
dinal Gibbons. Dr. Russell
planned what he called a Pan
American celebration to be at-
tended by the representatives of
all the Latin-American countries
in the national capital and thus
establishing the International
celebration.

As our forefathers, from 1621
down through the centuries, cel-
ebrated Thanksgiving, we, in the
twentieth century, celebrate it
In much the same spirit as they
did. Church services are held for
those who wish to keep in touch
with the religious spirit of the
day; however, with the large ma-
jority of us. it is peculiarly a
home festival.

And Thanksgiving comes at
just the very best time for a
feast. The fat old gobbler has
reached his perfection; the
pumpkin smiles a golden smile:
the harvest is in; cider sparkles
in the mill.

But when we Americans gath-
er for Thanksgiving dinner, we
should remember the Pilgrims

Parade] [Colorful;
Homecoming Activities

The homecoming parade was a very colorful event. Charming
Miss Henrice Thomas reigned as Miss Savannah State, queen of
Autumn Fiesta, which was the college wide, homecoming theme.

Misses Beatrice Walker and Evelyn James flanked the queen on
a beautifully decorated float that followed the. high stepping Savan-
nah State band directed by Mr. L. Allen Pyke.
Other Bands Participate

The rhythmic success of the parade can also be attributed to
other participating bands. They were: the William James High
School band, Statesboro, Georgia; Risley High School band, Bruns-
wick, Georgia; Alfred E. Beach accessories worn by the lovely

High School band, Savannah.
Georgia; Woodville High School

The band members were
dressed in their respective school
uniforms and marched with pep
and skill through the streets of
Savannah.

The cars and floats were skill-
fully decorated and made an eye-
catching impression as the array
of autumn colors moved through
the city streets.

The sidewalks were crowded
with onlookers and the outstand-
ing floats and cars were applaud-
ed as they passed by the enthusi-
astic bystanders.

Blue, gold, yellow, red and
brown were the dominant colors
used in suit combinations and

queens and their attendants.
Prizes Awarded

Approximately 35 xrnlts,
floats, cars and bands made up
the mammoth, history making

Certain things hiivo to bo iie-
ce|)tL'd without your Individual
test and proof. LlTc Isn't long
cnoiiKii to vevU'y everythlni;; pcr-
soiinliy. 'I'iie .specliUlst, the au-
thority, the man with a reputa-
tion in hi.s own field may not be
mentally tieener tlinn you, but
may have more data at his fln-
Kers' tips.

So realizing possible things
that woiild cause a person to net
or si'cui mentally keener than
you, sliouldn't ea\ise you to feel
that you have been cheated n\cn-
tally. Instead you should be
prateful Tor your opport\nilty to
attend college and strive even
harder to develop yourself men-
tully In the field of your choice.

Not only mentally will you
achieve In life, but you will pro-
gress In every phase of life by
being grateful for all things and
by shouldering yoiu' responsibil-
ity joyously, and launching out
Into the deep In order to build
magnificently.

One of the things that mokes
a gentleman is being respectful.
One of the methods that can be

Current News

employed In developing respect
Is to first stop and realize tliat
every person Is Judged as an In-
dividual and not as a group.

It Is that unseen something,
that "Inner man," that will force
you to have a certain amount of
respect for yourself, your fellow-
nian and God.

When a young man is ap-
proaching a door In front of a
young lady, he may show respect
to her by holding the door open
until she enters: or in the case
of a young lady, if she Is invited
to a dance, she may show respect
by accepting unless she has a
reason for not doing so. Respect
Is kindness and kindness is to
do and say the kindest things
In the kindest way.

One of the crusaders of
France. Colonel E. L, Daley, told
his army when the going was
rough: "Boys." said he, "your
name is Daley, and Daley stands
for the ability to do things!" No
longer should we let doubt enter
our minds when obstacles enter
our lives; instead, we should
fight until the battle is won.

Perseverance Is of great value
in our lives socially, mentally,
physically, and religiously. We
should try hard to obtain this
In our dally living. To start a
.iob and to continue that job de-
spite obstacles will ofttimes de-
termine one's career.

Let your moral standard be
not like a diploma that hangs
on the wall, but within your

heart.

What is College Without a Goal ?

Solomon Green '55
I am a student at Savannali
State College and I have had
some experiences of what Is
meant to be a member of a col-
lege family. All classes, regard-
less of classification, experience
doubt and liardships in the proc-
ess of becoming adjusted to col-
lege life. Since tlie first two
months of school are over. I
would like to think of all stu-
dents as being fully adjusted.

A student is a person who
studies in order to attain one or
more goals, or a student Is one
who studies under the direction
of a tutor with the idea of being
like his tutor. Remember though,
that being a student varies
greatly from the plain definition
make sure that you put the
definition into action.

Until one has assured himself
that he has studied and is
studying diligently and con-
structively, influences mean
nothing. A student must study
first of all his instructor:
then his contemporaries or class-
mates; last, but not least, he
must learn to use the library
constructively. These qualities
are not difficult to obtain or
maintain,. It is just a pliiloso-
phy or code which each student
must adopt and follow to his own
advantage.

Although you have paid your
entrance fee, if you do not pos-
sess these qualities, you have
the college, but no goal.

The cnarge by Attorney Gen-
eral Brownell, that former Presi-
dent Truman appointed a So-
viet spy, Harry Dexter White, to
an important government post,
even tnough he knew the man ,
record, has disturbed the Amer-
lean public quite a bit- perhaps
this may have an effect on the
election next fall. I believe that
Is more or less a political move
to balk the recent election gains
by tne Democrats during this
off-year elections. The former
President has stated that he will
go before the American public
and reveal all he knows.

President Elsenhower's visit to
Canada has exemplified the
"Good Neighbor Policy." The
chiei executives of the two North
American republics exchanged
views on the recent developments
In the world situation and on
measures wnich might bring
about a relaxation of current in-
ternational tensions.

The election of Hulan E. Jack
as presment of the iviannaitan
Borougn marks tne first time

laent of ine largest boruugn In

compiled a big ten rushing rec-
ord of 821 yards. In spite of the
fact Caroline is only a sopho-
more, I predict that he will make
the first All-American Team.

THANKFUL FOR WH.AT

who had so little, yet found it
in their hearts to give thanks
to God for His blessings.

We should remember "the Fa-

nor Bradford, who proclaimed
the long-ago first Thanksgiving;
we should remember the father
of our country, George Wash-
ington, who was first to proclaim
Tiianksgiving for all the states.

Grateful Americans should
never forget Mrs. Sarah J. Hale,
who worked so long to make
Thanksgiving Day a nationwide
holiday; she is sometimes called
"The Mother of Thanksgiving."

Now you siiould know that for

HOW CAN A MIND JUDGE A

MIND?

Farris M. Hudson '55

Will you take this great respon-
sibility upon yourself to see
just what is the mind of
man?

To solve this problem is more
than thoughts, blue prints,
or even drawn out plans.

A mind to judge a mind is more
than the average man's mind
might think,

'Tis hard as taking water to wa-
ter and telling that water to
drink.

Now my friend do you under-
stand what I've said in the
composition of these few
lines?

I've only asked a little question
How can a mind judge a
mind?

AM I A STUDENT?

Solomon Green '55
Am I a student, a student I am,

or a student I would like to

be.
Can I get my work or does my

work get me while my

thoughts linger fancy free.
Can I strive, or reach my goal,

while only browsing over

state's green campus.
While others fight to win that

prize, and my devoting half,

of my effort.

Am I here with tomorrow's

thoughts, which should be

my ambition.
Or have I drifted to yesteryear,

a pessimist instead of an

optimist.

Am I afraid to face the facts, or

to accept God's world as it

really is,
Or shall I continually lean on

my fellow's back instead of

independency.

Am I spellbound by Ally Oops,
Mickey Mouse and other
comic features.

Until I fail to get the point of
authors and teachers.

Lord help me to be the student
that I would like to be.

For I am struggling day by day
to reach a higher degree.

STOP! THINK! ACT!

Nadene Cooper '55
What's wrong with us upper-
classmen?
This is one thing I'd like to
know.
Do we know that the freshmen
are watching.
And following us where we go?

Are we doing our part

To help them find their places?
Have we been thoughtful

To learn all their faces?

We should lay a pattern
For each of them to follow.

It takes all this my friend.
To make a first-class scholar.

We should be eager

To lend them a helping hand-
Now we may wonder why.

Later, we'll understand.

Let us wake up

And begin to do our part.
Let us do our best

To give the freshmen a start.

If they should make an error

Or make a bad name:
Can we speak against them

When we are the ones to
blame?

The Atomic Age is generally
regarded as having been ush-
ered in on July 16, 1945. On
this date the first man-made
atomic explosion occurred in the
desert of New Mexico.

Our Center

Since the opening of our Col-
lege Center there seems to have
been careful planning of what
should go on within to appro-
priately accompany the name
change from "Inn" to "Center."
Under the supervision of the Of-
fice of Student Personnel, a So-
cial Educational Program has
become active in the Center.

During the school hour the
program is on Monday. Wednes-
day and Friday from 1:30 to 2:15
and on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings from 6:00 to 7:00.
These evening programs are un-
der the supervision of Mr. Nel-
son Freeman and Mr. Walter
Mercer. , *

liiis program is designed to
enhance the social growth of all
the students of Savannah State
College, The Personnel hopes
that it will help to make a well-
rounded person socially as well
as educationally of all Savannah
State's students.

The Personnel invites all or-
ganizations on our campus to
take part in the afternoon or
evening programs.

There will be a variety of pro-
grams and some strictly educa-
tional. I

Jjuimg the past weeks these
programs have been very educa-
tional and social. I hope that
the students will gain some form
of enjoyment from them.

On November 11. which was
.\rmistice Day, Miss J. G. Sellers
gave an inspiring talk on "Date
Data." Miss Sellers brought out
very clearly many interesting
points. Some were; not to take
your dating too seriously, be-
cause every girl or boy you meet
couldn't turn out to be a big
thing In your life; try to know
many types well; because before
long you'll be making a perma-
nent choice.

She pointed out to the girls,
that if a girl wants a fellow to
Lome back again and again make
every hour she spends with him
.so much fun that he'll want to
come back. Don't show jealousy,
be a good fellow, understanding
and tactful at all times. Finally,
always show kindness in every-
thing you say and do.

These social educational pro-
grams are set aside for you to
help you grow both educationally
and socially.
Assembly Hour

Our assembly hour, which is
held each Thursday at 12:C0.
convenes at this time to give In-
formation to the students re-
garding the school set-up and
school activities. It provides the
means by which students can
hear different speakers and re-
ceive many other kinds of im-
portant information that they
would not hear otherwise.

As well as giving information.
it is a training source in that it
gives the students experience in
appearing before the public
which helps to develop poise,
good speaking and many other
desirable qualities.

We have naa many interesting
programs during the past weeks;
among them was tne Spnmx
ciuD s program.

In this program the members
of the tipiunx ciub carried us
back 10 uays oi oia. Mr. ueorge
Jonnsun, acting as Master of
Ceremonies, gave us a bnei sum-
mary oi our /incesiry. Miss ner-
menia Mobley sang two breath-
taking songs. NoDouy Knows me
TrouDie Ive Seen and You'll
Never Walk Alone. Mr. Curtis
Cooper, one of the big brothers
of the Sphinxmen. sang Ole Man
River wniie 'I'homas Johnson, a
very talented young man. gave
his interpretation of the song in
dance. Then, too soon, the pro-
gram was over and we were
brought back to reality.

Programs of this type and
many otners are those that tend
to build us up into well-rounded
young men and women. There
are numerous of other reasons
why we have an assembly hour
but consider these and attend
each Thursday at 12:20.
Old Faces

Lately, many visitors came to
our campus. Some of them were;
Geneva Calloway; Lucius Col-
lier, the first President of Sa-
vannah State College Student
Council; Willie Frank Johnson,
Foger Booker, Tony Lumpkins,
Talmadge Anderson and Chester

ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA

The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sor-

at least other people on the cam-
pus seem to think so.

First of all. the campus as a
whole chose lovely Miss Henrice
Thomas to reign as their campus
queen for the school year 1953-
54. Mrs, Beatrice Doe was chos-
en as one of her attendants.

Lovely Delores Perry was chos-
en again as the Alpha Phi Alpha
Sweetheart.

Helen Battiste reigns over the
Sphinxmen this year as "Miss
Sphinx" of 1953-54.

Loretta Van Ellison was chosen
as Miss Alpha Kappa Alpha for
the year 1953-54, Miss Virginia
James and Miss LaVerne Perry
served as her attendants.

Francine Ivery was queen of
Trades and Industries and for
campus beauties Nell Wash-
ington, LaVerne Perry and De-
lores Perry were chosen.

Keats said that "A Thing of
Beauty is a Joy Forever." If
that's the case. Gamma Upsilon

Some folks In looks take so
much pride, they don't think
much of what's inside. Bangs,

Corduroy and velvet, along
with knit seems to be quite fash-
ionable this year. Be wise,
ladies, be the clever shopper, use
good taste but don't be elaborate.
Seek the washable corduroy and
velvet accessories to complement
your outfit. These fabrics, to an
extent, are year 'round, so a
hint to the wise . . . purchase
garments that may be tubbed.

Then ladies remember ... a
well dressed young lady must be
well groomed. Check the finger
nails and polish, carry a suede
brush in your purse, a compact
with the necessary utensils and
above all. a handkerchief. The
little things of life are the im-
portant ones.

Impressive Concert

On December 13. 1953 at Vesper Services, the Savannah State

It was obvious that the group, under the able direction of Dr.
Coleridge E. Braithwaite. had worked diligently and unrelentlessly
in order to gain the perfection of performance that was displayed.
The soloists sang with ease Glee Club; "Behold That Star,"

and with an unusual amount of
expressiveness.

The musical interpretations
were so effective that everyone
in the audience was enveloped
by the Christmas Spirit . . .
"Peace on earth good will
toward men ..." The pro-
gram was as follows:

Old Friends to Trust! Old Books
To Read! Alonzo Aragon

The Yuletide season brings
good cheer to the library. It's
a time for taking from their
niches all those old but priceless
pieces of our literary heritage.
The Story of Christmas is still
being written, but none surpass-
es the beauty of the stories told
many, many years ago.

All of us have read our Bible
story of The Wise Men. Very
few of us have read and com-
pared the Revised Standard Ver-
sion of the Christmas. Now is a
good time to make our obser-
vations on this modern language
translation.

An unusual book for everyone
at Christmas is M. L. Becker's
Home Book of Christmas. It
contains the best of the season-
al stories by distinguished au-
thors. The book is arranged in
sections following the events of

Christmas: Christmas Eve," The
Magi; The Preparations; The
Waits; The Great Day; The
Stockings; The Tree; The Din-
ner. It is rich in carols, songs
and poems for each group. This
title is recommended for first
purchase to anyone wishing an
all-in-one Christmas book.

Charles Dickens's Christmas
Books contains the universal
Christmas story "A Christmas
Carol;" "The Chimes" and "The
Cricket on the Hearth."

Washington Irving's chapters
in his Sketch-hook describing an
old English Christmas can be
reread annually: "Christmas,"
"The Stage Coach," "Christmas
Eve." "Christmas Day" and "The
Christmas Dinner."

and a better gym for intramural,
tition. The Shafter Construction
Company of Hlnesville, has al-
ready set up their office on the
campus and construction is pro-
ceeding as rapidly as humanly
possible.

The Century Heating Plant,
located between Camilla Hubert
Hall and Meldrim Auditorium, Is
nearer completion, with pipes
being laid connecting the plant
with the numerous campus
buildings. This will enable Sa-
vannah State College to have a
uniform heating system and
equipped with modern heating
machineries. Thomas Bretting-
ham and Company of Augusta
is constructing the heating
plant.

as well as Intercollegiate compc-
Work Progressing

The work on the New Men's
Dormitory, opposite Hill Hall, Is
progressing very rapidly. The
foundation and pillars for three
floors have already been com-
pleted. Byck Worrell Construc-
tion Company Is building the
New Men's Dormitory. This new
dormitory will help supplement
the dormitory facilities at Sa-
vannah State College and it will
be equipped with modern furni-
ture, making the Men's Dormi-
tory more home-like and con-
venient.

The annex to Hammon Hall
has already taken form. This
construction is being directed by
the Office of Buildings and

Henry Van Dyke's Story of the
Other Wise Man is reread every
holiday season with continued
appreciation and understanding.

From now until December 26
no new book could be more at-
tractive than these old favorites.
The week after Christmas most
of us can find some time to
catch up on new books we in-
tended to read but . So shop

around at your library and check
out for the holidays books you'd
like to take home with you.

We suggest the following to

The Meaning of God's Gift to the World

"Glory to God In the highest,
and on earth peace, good will
toward men," Christmas Is a day
designated In remembrance of
the birth of Christ, The day
that a gift for the entlie world
was presented,

This divine present was ac-
cepted in a stable In tlie little
town of Bellilehem. The mean-
ing of God's girt cannot be over-
empliasl/ed because of the slg-
niricimt part that It plays In our
world of chaos. The gift of
which Isaiah spoke: "For unto
us u child Is born, unto us a son
Is given; and the government
shall be upon His shoulder: and
Ills name shall be called Won-
derful. Counsellor, The Mighty
God. The Everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace."

Jesus, the Son of God, was the

gift to tlie woild, He was born
In a lowly manger, lived In poor
surroundings and grew up In a
confused world attempting to
establish the high Ideal of peace
and good will.

Christmas Is a time when we
as universal brothers should bury
all thoughts of hatred and strife;
lay down our arms, our doubts,
and look forward to an everlast-
ing life of peace and good will.
Peace and good will are the
fundamentals of the gift of God.
The singing of Christmas carols,
the sending of seasonal cards
and the giving of gifts will In-
still in us Ihc meaning of God's
gift to the world.

The Tiger's Roar staff wishes
you a Merry Christmas and a
Happy and Prosperous New Year!

What Christmas Should Mean to Us

Doris ,\. S;iiuk'r,s. Copy Lilitor

I wonder If we really under-
stand the true meaning of
Christmas. Is It just another
holiday, a day for frolicking and
having a good time? We seem
to embark upon the Yulctlde
Season with little or no knowl-
edge of Its significance and what
It should nican to us.

Christmas Day. December 25.
has been set aside as the birth-
day of Jesus, "the Saviour" of the
world. Everywhere this day
should be a day of worship,
prayer, and glorification to Jesus
Christ. Certainly it is a day of
celebration but not the kind to
which we have become accus-
tomed. We should thank God
for sending to us His Son. Jesus,
who came to save the world.
Then, too. we should give thanks
to God for enabling us to have

the privilege of enjoying another
Christmas Day. When the shep-
herds saw the star which led
them to Jesus, "they rejoiced
with exceeding great joy."

Lot us make this Christmas
a glorious day. Let us bow our
heads in sincere prayer and re-
solve to give to God this com-
plete day of worship and every
day that follows.

Let us sing as the angels sang,
"Peace on earth good will to
men" and make our Christmas,
not just another holiday, but
the birthday of Jesus Christ, Let
us be guided by that same star
the shepherd saw In the east
and guide our lives to Christ and
His teachings. And as we enter
upon a New Year, let us con-
tinue to keep Christ in our lives.

The Why's

of
Christmas

Ruby Simmons '54

Shirley Jenkins '54

We believe that people usually
misinterpret holidays because
they do not understand why we
should celebrate them or In what
activities we should participate.
When people understand one or
both of these factors concerning
International holidays, the cele-
bration of them win be quite dif-
ferent.

Christmas Is an international
holiday that Is often misused.
Do you know why Christmas Is
celebrated carols are sung, dec-
orations used, gifts are given?

It Is said that Christmas has
a two-fold significance: the re-
ligious, commemorating the
birth of Christ, and the social or
festive aspect, celebrating the
seasonal practices of many peo-
ple. Christmas, originally
"Chrlstes Masse" (meaning
Christ's Mass or church festival
of Christ), Is celebrated through-
out the Christian world as the
anniversary of the nativity of
Christ.

One of the most charming
ways of celebrating the holiday
Is the custom of singing carols.
Carols were Imported into Eng-
land soon after the Norman con-
quest. The word "carol" means
almost any Christmas hymn.
The first carol was written by
Francis of Asslsl In 1223 as a
means of singing praises to God
for giving us Christ,

The custom of decorating trees
and using other decorations at
Christmas time came from the
Germans. Boniface, who was
sent there as a missionary In
the eighth century, replaced the
sacrifices to idols by a fir tree
adorned in tribute to the Christ
Child,

The giving of gifts at this time
began when God gave the world
His only begotten Son. on the
day we call Christmas Eve. Later.
on the twelfth night, the three
kings offered the Holy Child
gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh, Christ eventually gave
His own life to save the world.
In an attempt to acknowledge
the greatness of the Divine Gift.
His followers marked this sea-
son by a general practice of ex-
changing gifts.

A Christmas Message

It is always a pleasure to ex-
tend greetings to the students
of Savannah State College at
Christmas time. At no other
time during the academic year
are hearts and attitudes better
conditioned to the finest ideals
of our culture. It is a time when
one remembers friends and those
who are in need. It is a time
also when individuals broadcast
wishes of joy to all men alike
irrespective of relationships. If
this spirit of Christmas were not
so fleeting, and if it could be
retained by some means through-

out the year, the joy of living
would be immensely enlianced.
While the students of Savannah
State College are observing and
celebrating the 1953 Christmas,
it Is my wish that they may de-
vise ways and means of increas-
ing the longevity of this inter-
est in the fellowman. May a
greater portion of this Christmas
remain with you and make our
college and world a greater joy
to mankind.

LOST VENTURE

By Julius Edward Reeves, Jr.
'54
When I have given my love.
And gained only solitude in

return,
I find myself in a mist
Of weariness.

Nothing but loneliness am I
Webbed in, to dampen the

threads
Of life with burning tears.
I endeavor to accomplish
High esteem in my venture
For a romance.
But never have I found
A part of my ideal companion
In any of my escapades.

Nearest to this was you.
But in our relations, you
Seem to depart from me.
Dauntlessly, I trust my
Unmatched love
In you.

And probably unconsciously
I am left to ponder
In a web of dreams.
Never ending in happy moments.
The only loving moment
I share with you, is when
I partake to unite my love
To Its matured state in the high-
est
Esteem of hfe.

After this aire of joy,
All is done, and that web
Of loneliness closes me out
In a world of my own.
In this world, if you but
Knew that there is no greater
Love than My love for you.
My darling. My darling.
I love you much.
So much, 'till in my
Solitude. I find happiness
While I spin the thread
Of this moistened web.
In which I live to build
A dream life for you.
And only you.

In this out-moded life,

To my best. I shall

Perfect in a sort of

Utopia, those ideas I

Assume portray you most.

In my utmost ability,

It shall be yours, and yours for

keeps.
A surface of marble,
Walls of gold
And a roof to compete
With the sun.
You see. my love
This web is built for you.
And its composition must
Comfort your love.

Completed my task
In an aimless venture.
I shall ascend to the Gods,
To the star of Venus that
Guided me in life.
Where I shall find no
More solitude, and my
Web of moistened thread fades
away.

CHRISTMAS MELODIES

Farris M. Hudson '55
Oh dear hearts, can you guess

what I hear?
Sounds, along the course of the

air.
Melodies, from the breath of the

falling snow
Bring joy and happiness of the

season's show.

I wonder why are the stars so

bright?
And the melodies I hear are so

soft and light?

So you do understand as I can

see by your smiles.
The melodies are in honor of

the Uttle Christ Child.

Joy is imparted to all of the
trees

By the glorious sounds of Christ-
mas melodies.

A HINT TO THE WISE

Nadene Cooper '55
Face life with dignity.
Solve your problems without

grief.
In life's journey there is misery.
Strive, you'll find relief.

Don't sit on the stool of do

nothing
Because things don't come your

way.
If you are to succeed in life.
You must work day by day.

When hard problems confront

you.
Don't try solving them with

doubt.
Your job is never completed,
Until you have worked them out

If you are to go forward in life
You must forever do your best.
Through trials and tribulations,
You will achieve success.

And when I shall have

Thoughts

Solomon Green '55

I can imagine small children
preparing to hang up their
stockings for Santa Claus; col-
lege students doing their last-
minute shopping; loaded buses
and taxis zooming away with
the students homeward bound.
All seem to be determined, hope-
ful and aiming for the same
goal that of reuniting with
friends and relatives back home.
Christmas! Christmas! A happy
time for everyone. Think how
monotonous college life would
become if we did not have such
a holiday.

But remember that wherever
we go someone will be watching
us, caring for and protecting us,
I speak of Jesus. Let us not
forget that upon this day in
Bethlehem of Judea. a child.
Jesus Ciirist, was born to the
Virgin Mary in a stable because
there was no room for them in

To you, who have "crossed the
burning sands" during probation
week, we take this time to con-
gratulate you. Although at times
you seemed to have wanted to
turn around and not complete
the journey, the urge to keep
going was back again and final-
ly it was completed. Now I'm
sure you can all look back and
say. that it was worth the effort
and time that were spent for
that glorious hour. Again we
congratulate you.

The spirit of Christmas has en-
tered the hearts of all Savannah
State students and we are now
looking forward to the end of
the quarter when we'll be going
home. The Christmas Spirit has
set many of us to singing "I'll
be Home for Christmas."

I wish you all a very Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
And when we all return I trust
our New Year's resolution will
be to study hard for better
grades.

The Mistletoe

When we are home for Christ-
mas and mistletoe is hanging
around, do we really know why
it's there? Mistletoe, a little
yellow-green plant with waxen
berries, is often nailed up over
doors and around the house for
decoration at Christmas time.

During ancient times the
Druids, a powerful religious group
in ancient Gaul. Britain, and
Ireland, believed that mistletoe
was sacred, and gathered it in
a solemn ceremony. The Saxons
of old England also prized it and
regarded it as a symbol of peace.
When warriors found it growing
near a place where they were

fighting, they would declare a
truce. And thus it became the
custom to hang the plant over
the entrance of doors as a sym-
bol of friendship to all who en-
tered it. If we are under mistle-
toe today with loved ones, the
tradition is a kiss.

What happens to us in De-
cember? Why are we full of
laughs and happiness and
gaiety? Aileen Fisher said that^

In December
Everyone is merry now.
Lo walking down the street
And twinkly eyes and winkly eyes
Are all the eyes you meet.

Everyone is eager now

To shop and trim a tree,

And knowing smiles and glowing

smiles
Are all the smiles you see.

Everyone is jolly now.
This tingly-jlngly season.
And only cats and puppy dogs
Can't understand the reason.

Everywhere there is hustling
and bustling as we all get ready
for the big day. Gay carols are
sung and heard everywhere. De-
licious smells of plum pudding
come from the kitchen and mys-
terious-looking packages appear
and disappear. Christmas is a
wonderful time!

In all the excitement of the
holiday many of us are apt to
forget the meaning of Christmas.
Chirstmas is the celebration of
the birth of Christ. It is be-
cause of His greatness and the
joy that He brought to us that
we remember His birthday.

A gift for your family and
loved ones will be more than a
gift because your Christmas gift,
if you plan and make it, is really
you.

Again, Merry Christmas!!

made brothers as a result of the
chapter's fall initiation. The

Leisure Wear
Glamor pants lake lead in de-
signs for loafing

The current television era with
its emphasis on "at home" en-
tertaining has touched off a pop-
ular trend toward glamorous
lounging clothes that are com-
fortable and yet attractive
enough to wear In greeting the
most discriminating of guests.

Designers from coast to coast
have pulled every trick out of
the bag to create fascinating
styles in lounging clotlies and
have designed glamorous pants
that are strikingly feminine.

Pants are being made of every-
thing from fine laces, velvets
and chiffons to denims decorated
with jewels. Styles vary from the
simple slack type to the gay and
fascinating, tapered bull fighter
pants. While there Is a number
of plain, quiet styles In subdued
colors which can be worn every-
day and washed easily, many a
modern woman prefers the num-
erous gay loud patterns leopard
skin prints, and zebra stripes.

For the woman who does not
have the figure for the narrow
toreador pants, designers have
created attractive styles in pleat-
ed pegtops, bell bottoms, culottes
and pedal pushers. There arc
also clever lounging costumes In
felt and jersey versions of robes
and skirts to add even more
variety.

The Silkiest Season

The thrill of this winter's eve-
ning fashions seems to lie in a
beautiful form of hlde-and-seck
around the top of cocktail and
evening dresses.

New designers' devices to con-
ceal yet reveal are: the casual
looking but deftly planned drap-
ing, the rib length jacket that
hides a strapless dinner sheath
beneath, more Important sleeves
that reach up to the shoulder
tims and Imposing collars that
accentuate the bosom but de-
murely stop right at the shoulder
line.

Even the glamorous ball dress,
despite Its strapless formality of
past years, often takes wide
camisole straps, giant stoles or
diagonal straps over one shoulder
with the other bare.

newcomers are Johnnie H. Mo-
ton, Nathan S. Mitchell, and Levy
N. Taylor. Jr, We, as Omega
men, are welcoming the neo-
phytes to an organization that
is developing and achieving from
the inspiration received from our
four cardinal principles Uplift,
Scholarship, Perseverance and
Manhood-

We, as a fraternity, believe in
a strong brotherhood, and one
that is stable. And as we ap-
proach this Yuletide season, we
admonish you, too, to be brother-
1 y toward your colleagues,
friends, classmates and instruc-
tors.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority
Rho Beta chapter of Zeta Phi
Beta sorority has begun making
definite plans for actlvltie.s dur-
ing the current school year. Per-
haps the most interesting plan i.s
the sponsoring of a "Girl of the
Year." This young woman must
possess all of the qualities that
Zeta stands for finer woman-
hood, sisterly love, scholarship
and affable personality.

At a recent meeting the chap-
ter had as its guest Soror Anita
Stripling. Basileus of the Alpha
Theta Zeta chapter of Savannah.
Soror Stripling brought news of
the regional meeting of the so-
rority and suggestions for our
year's activities.

Rho Beta has added two mem-
bers to its sisterhood- They are
Barbara Brunson and Cylde Fal-
son. Our sponsor this year is
Miss Madeline Harrison.

The VcliMuns' CMub, after hav-
ing organized under the advisory
of Mr. N. R. Freeman, has already
gone a long way In the school
year. We are quite satisfied with
our oliolce for president for this

service In the Army, having at-
tained the rank of Tech Ser-
geant. Tills alone, supported by

The Veterans' Club wl.she.s to
Induce the membership of as
many veterans as possible and
that should be all who are en-
rolled at the college. Very soon
we hope to see a comfortable
percentage of the veterans as
bona fide members. Plans are
now being drawn to organize a
"pool" that might offer pecuniary
aid to deserving veterans at vari-
ous times. Such will receive a
minimum interest and only the
entire club can benefit by It,

Last year a survey of leading colleges
throughout the country showed that
smokers in those colleges preferred
Luckies to any other cigarette.

This year another far more extensive
and comprehensive survey supervised
by college professors and based on more
than 31,000 actual student interviews-
shows that Luckies lead again over all
other brands, regular or king size... and-
by a wide margin! The No. 1 reason;
Luckies taste better.

Smoking enjoyment is all a matter of
taste , and the fact of the matter is Luckies
taste better-first, because L.S./M.F.T.-
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And
second, Luckies are made better to taste
better. So, Be Happy-Go Lucky!

(left) and the Annex to Hammond Hall (right). (Locke Photo)

Modern Equipment-Facilities
Features of New Buildings

The work on the new Men's Dormilory, opposile Hill Hall, is progrcssinf;
very rapidly. The building is lo he equipped wilh modern furniture and
facilities. SS.C. men will be ahic lo enjoy Ihcir beautiful surroundings and
gain from the advantages of a home-like ulmosphere.
Annex to Cymiiashini

The annex lo the famous Wilcox Gymnasium will have many intereyling
features. There will be more floor

space for basketball and other recrea-
tional classroom activities. Showers are
to be installed and service units for
the men and ihe women students. Ade-
quate storage facilities will be provided
for supplies.

Bricks and Mortar

The Division of Home Economics is
happy to announce the fact that Ham-
mond Hall is undergoing a complete
face lifting. A new addition is being
added to accommodate separate offices
for the area of clothing and textiles and
foods and nutrition; faculty and stu-
dent lounges, toilet and dressing room
facilities for men and women. A re-
decoration and refurnishing program
nill bring the classrooms up-to-date and
in readiness for the latest trends in
leaching. A feature in the modern
kitchen designed by Crosley will be
a demonstration unit in the freezing
and laundry areas.

Opening

\ formal optning will be held in
order that the campus family and gen-

eral public might see the new facilities
open to all in ihe home economics pro-
gram.

Not in [he Books

How many of us around the campus
have stopped to observe how the mainte-
nance crew bandies the moving and
transportation of large equipment
around the campus with inadequate fa-
cilities and manpower. An interesting
note was seen while the* men were
moving frigidaires, stoves, a thousand
pound deep freeze and other equipment
out of Hammond Hall prior lo renova-
tion. A mop just a Jowly scrub mop
was used to pull the weight of these
heavy objects across the floor and out
of the building to be hoisted on the
moving truck. A factual demonstration
of the laws of physics stress, strain,
balance and equilibrium. These men
are not of the classroom or of book,^.
Their sole responsibility is to gel the
job done, whatever the order, and they
do it. Our thanks and respect to the
Department of Buildings and Grounds.

ANALYSIS

This is the first nf a series of articles
that this reporter will do of this nature.
I hope thai it will benefit the social
science majors in parllciilnr as well as
the other students.

I believe that an atom-for-peaee pool
plan would benefit all nations. This
means thai no longer would the threat
of atomic destruction be feared. It
has been oslablislied that alomic energy
can be converted into useful purposes
as well as destructive ones.

If the Russians refuse to accept these
proposals by tlic United Slates at the
Big Four Foreign Ministers' conference
in Berlin on njnuary 25. I am forced
lo believe llial they do nol want world
peace.

Tlic stand of the Administration on
lax reductions, reductions in voting age
and civil rights will be felt in the com-
ing Congressional eleclion. Some of
the promises have nol been fulfilled.

AT WINTER

Myrtle Mason, '54
Along the shady lanes
Across the grassy lawn
Beneath the nioss-Iaden oaks
The masses of students pass on.

Their cheeks are kissed by the sun

And bitlen by the wind.

Their bodies are bent to sliiekl lliem-

selves
In a twist, a twirl, and a spin.

Carefree girls in skirls that flare
With every brec/.e ibat passes,
Tip-toe on their high heel shoes
And stumble into classes.

Fral men wilh coat collars high
Their heads wilh brights caps covered,
Turn slowly against the wind to yell
Real cool, "How goes it, brother?"
Big athletes in knitted hoods
Dungarees most faded while.
Whistle lo a distant pal
Who answers, "all right, man, all riglit."

Instructors chatting in the hall

On mailers far and near

First they talk on politics

Then, games lo be played next year.

Winter ends in the month of March

The quarter ends as well.

Then, Spring breaks through in bright

array
To break ihe Winter-God's spell.

THOUGHTS IN SPACE

Gerue Ford, '58
I live on the planet Venus and walk in
the sky to watch the wonders of the
universe.

How beautiful! I think as I look
at the earth, a lovely ball rotating in
space as the moon slowly travels around
it. When I am lonely I walk into
space and listen to the sound of music
as stars float about me. I sit in a
golden chair in the center of an angelic

My chair revolves in space and rocks
me lo the sound of slow, enchanting
music. Dull violet, orange and rose
light floods ihe space.

Oh it is more than a drcaml

Solomon Green '55
To use a budget, a method of spending.
To use a sclicdule, a method of timing.

And sluggishness, refrain to endure.
Let friends be a chosen few.
And you have tbriftiiiess.

Book I Have Rend This Year"

"I recommend to all lovers of good
books THE CAIWINAL by Henry
Morton Robinson, Thuugli nut u cur-
rent best seller, it should he i\ inuHt
on your reading list.

It is a warm, human, well wrillcn
story of a Catholic priest who rnHii
from a hunihle beginning to a high
office in llic Calliolic Church and be-
came a wearer ol ihc red hat. The
main character embodies qualities of
not one priest hut several pricsln who
in some way Icfl or make un iniprcH-
sion upon the author.

Though wtiiten about a Catholic
priest this book is by no means wholly
Catholic and, I am .ure, will be en-
joyed by all who read it.

I do not hesilQle to xay that it is by
far one of the best hooks 1 have ever
read."-Miss Mihlred E. Marquis.

-DEATH BE NOT PROUD, by John
H. Gunlhcr is not the usual lype of
biography that is read every day, but
the memoir of Mr. Gunlher's son who
lias pasted through ihe gales of the
Eternal.

Mr. Gunthcr combiner all of the
facts ol his son's life before and dur-
ing the long years of illness .recovery,
and the time of his death.

Truly, this biography was superbly
written, and I advise all literary en-
thusiasts who have not read ihis hook
lo read it and see if they don't feel
as I did." George Johnson.

"For the more mature mind CLARA,
by William L, Coleman, is an excellent
novel of race qualities rather than race
prejudices. Out of the lieal and vio-
lence of the smalltown South comes this
story of a smouldering struggle he-
Iwecn servant and mlslrpits for the love
and life of one weak, drink-sick m/in.

This is a hook that you will lon^
remember." Mrs. Daisy Fraser.

"STUDIES IN LEADERSHIP, ed-
hy Gouldner. is a comprehensive study
of leaders and leadership. Of particu-

Leaders Among Negroes in ihe U. S.

'Religion, Key to Better Living'

Interesting Highlights

of Observance, March 7-11

The theme for Religious Em-
phasis Week this year is "Reli-
gion. Key to Better Living." Keys
will appear in the College Corner
Shoppe. B. J. James', The Col-
lege Center and other sections
of the campus. Leon Jimes is
busy getting the keys ready for
the Week.

Administrative Officers AH Out

to Cooperate With Religious

Emphasis

All of the administrative offi-
cers of Savannah State College
have been working with the Re-
ligious Emphasis Week Commit-
tee to insure a suitable atmos-
phere for worship and study in
religion.

Coach T. A. Wright scheduled
his basketball games in such a
manner that no games will be
played during Religious Empha-
sis Week and has consistently re-
fused to make any changes that
will conflict with The Religious
Emphasis Program. Also, Regis-
trar Ben IngersoU has for two
years adjusted pre-registration
to the Religious Emphasis Week.
President W. K. Payne has ad-
justed the faculty meetings to
the advantage of Religious Em-
phasis each year since he has
been in office, Dean T. C. Meyers
has scheduled final examinations
to the advantage of the Religious
Emphasis Program this year.
The Choir Will Be in Church for
Religious Emphasis Week
Dr. Coleridge Braithwaite has
agreed that the college choir
will sing for Morning Worship
during Religious Emphasis Week.
The religious life program for
this term has no plans for regu-
lar appearances of the choir in
Morning Worship.
Retreat to Be Early This Year
The retreat, an outstanding
feature of Religious Emphasis
Week, will be held early in the
morning this year. According to
Harold Duggan, Chairman of the
Retreat Committee, it is hoped
that the worship service and
breakfast can be over in time
for the participants to be back

on the campus and in class at
9:00 A.M. Students with 8:20
classes and who anticipate going
on the retreat should see Rev.
A. J. Hargrett on Wednesday.
Popularity of Religious Empha-
sis Week Program Due to Ef-
forts of Reverend Arm-
strong
The present popularity of Re-
ligious Emphasis Week at Savan-
nah State College is due largely
to efforts of a man, known by
but few, if any, of the present
students of Savannah State Col-
lege. It was Reverend Ernest
Armstrong, College Minister in
1948-49, who changed the pat-
tern of Religious Emphasis Week
observances that had been wit-
nessed by the students and fac-
ulty.

In the meantime, Mr. Arm-
strong applied to the University
Christian Missions for a mission.
The mission was granted, and
during the second year of the
college pastorate of Reverend
Andrew J. Hargrett. officials
from the University Christian
Mission came to the campus and
enlarged on the pattern initiat-
ed by Mr. Armstrong.

It was Lee Mark Daniel, a '53
graduate, who took the week over
as a student project and greatly
enhanced the administration's
respect for the ability of stu-
dents to engineer such an im-
portant activity.

AH Social Education Programs to

Be Dedicated to Religious

Emphasis

According to Nelson Freeman,
Assistant Counselor of Men, all
of the Social Education Hours
will be centered around Rehgious
Emphasis. On Monday, the Sun-

Business Places to Share in
Religious Emphasis Week Spirit
Three commercial businesses
and the College Center have
promised support of the ap-
proaching Religious Emphasis
Week for 1953-54 school year.

Frank Tharpe. owner of the
College Corner Shoppe, and B. J.

In the beginning there was
God. To tho.se men and v/omen
engaged in the sciences, particu-

been a gap between science and
religion.

When God created man, He
made him master of all things

and creative ability, 7/e have the

Why Student Council Supports
Religious Emphasis Week

TIMOTHY U, RYALS, Prculdent, Student Council
In a world of turmoil, confUHlon, and doubt, wc find a week of
meditation very helpful and Inwplrlng. The Student Council realizes
and feels that religion plays a significant role In developing the
whole individual.

To have faith In something or
someone, serves a-s a stimulus or
an urge to help one reach the
goals he sets and gives one
courage to approach the ultimate
goal.

Religion Is a belief In God or

surgery, penicillin, and varied
equipment.

Today, very few allmenti and
di-seases of the human body have
not been mastered. Yet, science
Is unable to exercise control
over life and death. Therefore,
v/e recognize an Inadequacy in
medicine. We are unable to ex-
plain satisfactorily v/hy certain
scientific principles and theories
sometimes fail despite all we
know and do. As a result, we
are forced to accept the belief
that a supreme being is omnipo-
tent with regard to mankind and
all elements of the universe.

I believe that the true physi-
cian is aware of the need for
God's close association in the
medical profession. Consequent-
ly, in all his undertakings, the
doctor evidences a faith in God.
Prayer, too, is an essential tool.
Faith and Prayer can be likened
unto a crutch used by a lame
man. It is unnecessary to labor
the point that we are instru-
ments in His hands. Without
Him we can do nothing.

supernatural powers. Christian-
ity Is the belief In Chrl.st and
his teachings. Most students be-
lieve In Christ because he was
a good leader, a true friend and
kind to everyone. In order tor us
to be good leaders and be suc-
cessful, we must also possess the
desired qualities truth, honesty,
kindness and the insight to help
mankind maintain better social
relations.

The Student Council is pa-
tiently av/aiting the arrival of
this Week, and goes out whole-
heartedly to support it.

Review Of '53
Religious Observance

By Elmer Warren, '55
Dr. William Faulkner was the
guest speaker for Religious Em-
phasis Week of 1953 at Savan-
nah State College. It is felt
that Savannah State's future
leaders digested the enlighten-
ing addresses and speeches made
by Dr. Faulkner,

Dr. Faulkner stated that peo-
ple, especially college students,
should be sensitive to the social
rights and needs of others. We
should have a capacity for inde-
pendent thinking and critical
evaluation.

Improving Our Moral Life

Each year, a week Is .soL a-slde
to empluiHl'/e religion, During
Mils week our campus Is filled
l.liroughout with a religious spir-
it. Pioi-rinns bused on Christian-
ity and fellowship with God and
man aro presented. These pro-
grams servo to enrich our minds
and |)eri)etuale our splrlt,ual
Krowth and development.

Even tliough tliere Is a week
set aside solely for Ihc purpose
of emphasizing religion. It Is not
a wise Idea to try to Improve and
make all necessary corrections
that are needed lo be made In
one week.

The moral side of life and the
social side of life are different;
yet, they are woven .so closely
that they cannot be separated.
We are living In a "Progressive
Age," an ever changing society,
In order to nuilntaln our balance
and equilibrium, we must change

along wlUi .suclety, This cannot
be done l)y merely modifying our
.social characteristics, but our
moral characteristics as well.

At this stage of life, we should
realize that religion Is one of
the basic fundamentals of hu-
man development. It stimulates
our desire to be respectful; It
helps us to develop a whole-
some outlook on life, and most
of all. It helps us to get along
with o\irselves and with others.
It also Increases our love for our
Alma Matei-. In that It gives us
n better appreciation of the op-
port\niltles liere at Savannah
State College.

Don't let your Interest In Im-
proving oiu' moral standards die
when religious emphasis week Is
over. Instead, may It flame up
spontaneously, warm the campus
atmosphere and burn continu-
ously.

Make Best of What You Have

Niuii-nr C'ooper '135
Unfortunately , there are nti
two people Identical. Each Indi-
vidual has Individual character-
istics or Individual differences.
It Is up to each person to dis-
cover the dominant traits that
he possesses and develop them to
the fullest capacity.

Perhaps you are unable to be
a Marlon Anderson, but there Is
a need for another Mary M. Be-
thune. If you cannot be a Dr.
Ralph Bundle, then be an Adam
Clayton Powell. There are plenty
opportunities awaiting you.
All of us can be great if we

wtll only realize that people sel-
dom become great from security,
but from risk. Most of us have
a desire to become great, to reach
the top. It must be understood
that what we want Is at the top
of the ladder and can only be
obtained by climbing step by
step. There must be special ef-
forts made to accomplish any-
thing worthwhile. Advancement
and prosperity necessitate work
and making the best of what we
liave.

We should give the world our
best and someday the best will
return to us.

Reading for Information And
Pleasure

Solomon Greene '55
Since the author of any writ-
ten material may have more ex-
perience about his topic tlian we
have, we may never understand
his topic as well as he does, but
we should understand the writ-
ten work well enough to make a
satisfactory report. Reading for
information, obviously, is more
important and more difficult to
do than reading for pleasure:
therefore, one should strive to
learn the skill of reading for in-
formation first. Furthermore,
one should always strive for bet-

ter .speed and better comprehen-
sion.

As a prerequisite to good read-
ing, a student should possess a
good collegiate dictionary and,
other than using it to increase
his vocabulary, he sliould strive
to define and pronounce all new
words that he encounters. The
student should have a critical
mind and be able to evaluate
readings for what they are worth
when reading for information.

Reading is one's ability to un-
derstand the point of or depict
the thought from a written

Creative Tributes

Valentine

Nadene Cooper '55
For years, we have celebrated
Valentine without having a clear
understanding of Its meaning.
We have often said "Be my Val-
entine" without thinking or
without actually knowing what
these words represent. When an
individual says to another "Be
My Valentine" the following
things are implied:

Be kind-hearted and true.
Eager to share in things that
I do.

Meet me half-way. which is

right.
Yield, when you are wrong.

Verbalize, it stands for self-ex-
pression.

Abstain from nagging, it ruins
friendship.

Love with sincerity, it is the
best policy.

Elaborate, when there is need
for clarification.

Never form conclusions, with-
out sufficient evidence.

Try to understand, under-^
standing is knowledge.

Ignore my faults, you have

some too.
Notice me, I am not to be

taken for granted.
Encourage me to always do my

best.

Won't you be a true Valentine?

The Coming Spring

Solomon Green '55

When willow trees weep and

mourn
It is then that spring is born.
And in minds love thoughts do

ring
The bells and joys of the coming
spring.

The coming spring is the time

of year
That wedding bells ring with

other cheers.
That express the love of the

singing birds
And all of that, too, in other

words.

So through the heart pierces the

sword.
Blooming trees bear the load;
There, from nature we harvest

summer long
'Til the breeze of autumn brings

leaves down.

Manners Made Easy

The practice of good manners
is an art which can and should
be acquired by every college stu-
dent. It Is very important to be-
come aware of the correct thing
to be done on all occasions, then
the performance of the act is
very easily done. Good manners
are in evidence whenever one is
polite, courteous and thoughtful
of others.

How often have you wished to
be as poised as your roommate?
Or do you wonder how a friend
of yours has such a "way" with
the girls? Or do you wish you
could always say the right thing
just as Anne does? Some people
seem to be born with that inde-
scribable thing called charm.
Others, after much practice, are
often able to acquire this asset.

Your library has several books
which may help you solve your
special problem. If you are wor-
ried about making introductions.

how to act when you are travel-
ing Pullman, or when to enter a
concert that has already begun,
why not try one of the many
etiquette books found on your
library shelves? Do you know
what is expected of you as a
week-end guest? Do you know
how to write notes of congratu-
lation or sympathy? Are you up
on your tipping etiquette? The
answers to these and many other
questions can very easily be
found in these books:

There Are Balls and Balls But

There is only one Sweetheart
Ball of S.S-C, and Monday eve-
ning's, February 15. Ball was the
one that topped them all. The
Ball began rolling when the guys
and gals of S.S.C. crowded the
floor for the most gala affair
since the "Western Hop." We
danced to the music of the Ten-
derly Band.

Many were there with their

sweethearts by their sides and in
their hearts. During intermis-
sion. Miss Ann Pierce, a fresh-
man, was announced Miss Sweet-
heart and was presented with a
box of candy by the vice prexy
of the Student Council. The
Kappas, not overlooking their
sweetheart. Miss Jeanette Pusha.
presented her with a box of
candy.

Interpretations of songs in
dance were done by Sarah How-
ard, Muriel Hatton. and Thomas
Johnson. Two charming young
ladies, Patricia Wright and Jean
Huff, tapped to the music of
"Glow Worm."

Organization Highlights

Here's to Veterans

The Veterans Club would like
to take this opportunity to wel-
come those veterans who are
coming to S.S.C, for the first
time. For your information, the
veterans here are organized. We
urge you to join our organization
so that it might benefit by what-
ever you may have to offer.
Please notice the bulletin boards
for notices of exactly when and
where we meet and understand
that you are cordially invited.

Any veteran who has been dis-
charged for any reason other
than a dishonorable one is eli-
gible for membership. What
your counselor thinks of you is
determined largely by whether
or not you are a member of this,
your own, organization.

Have you given any serious
thought to your N.S.L.T? Did
you know that you can get
$1,000,00 worth for only $.66 per
month, or any multiple of $500,00
worth up to $10,000,00 at the
same rate? Then you may pay
it monthly, quarterly, semi-an-
nually, or annually. After you
have paid the premium for one
year, you can borrow 94 of that
and be compelled to repay only
the small interest. However, you
may repay the principal when-
ever you wish. If you don't re-
pay the principal, that much is
deducted from the value of your
policy. Most of all. you may se-
cure a Form 9-886 from any V,A,
office, mail it to the District Of-
fice, thereby authorizing the V.A.
to deduct your premiums from
your monthly benefits. Isn't that
worth some consideration?

The Voice of the Y.M.C.A. . . .

The "Y" debating team has
been organized also. It will, from

our everyday living.

The "Y" sent two delegates,
Mr, Clarence Lofton, President,
and Mr. Eugene Issac, Advisor,
to the regional council held in
Atlanta, Georgia, in February.

This Christian organization is
one which you may feel free to
look in on at any time. Member-

meetings for those desiring to
become members.

Le Cercle Francais . . .

Sallie M. Walthour '55

Le Cercle Francais started the
nouvel year wit ha bang. We
welcomed a number of nouveaux
comarades, most of them being
members of the departement de
natural science.

There are beaucoup d' activi-
ties in store for the nouvel year.
The winter quarter activities for
which plans are now being made
are : "Le plus Beau Hommee"
contest. Uune partie francaise.
and the compilation of a scrap-
book. The scrapbook will be
placed on exhibition a' la flni of
the school year. Tout le monde
may participate in and enjoy
these activities.

Each seance of le cercle fran-
cais is concluded with some form
of social entertainment. The pri-
mary form of entertainment so
far has been the singing des
chansons. Included among the
songs are: "La Marseillaise," the
hymne nationale; the "real
gone" "C'est si Bon," a' la Eartha
Kitt and "La Vie en Rose."

Until the next publication of
the Tiger's Roar, a'bientot.

Camilla Hubert House Council . .

The House Council of Camilla
Hubert Hall has given a series
of Social-education programs for
the development of the residents.
The first program was about
body care hair, skin, nails, etc.

On February 8, 1954, at 9:05
p.m. there was a demonstration
given by Mrs. Harriet Stone in
the Reception room of Camilla
Hubert Hall, Girls chosen as
models were Misses Mamie Davis,
Jewell Miller, David Hester and
Nell Washington, These girls
modeled play clothes.

Mrs. Stone gave a lecture on
how to wear foundation gar-
ments and the importance of
good posture as related to good
looks. After the lecture and dem-
onstration, prizes and refresh-
ments were enjoyed by everyone.

Mrs. Stone is a former Home
Economics instructor at Savan-
nah State College, She is now
an agent for Spirella and Deala
foundation garments. These
commodities were used for mod-
eUng. Mrs. Stone is presently
resuming the role of housewife
and mother, Barbara Brunson,
reporter.

Nearly every day of the week
is set apart by some people as
Sabbath: Sunday, most Chris-
tians; Tuesday, Persians;
Wednesday. Assyrians; Thursday,
Egyptians; Friday. Mohammed-
ans ; Saturday, Jews and Sev-
enth Day Adventists.

Mercedes Mitchell '54

History repeats itself in every-
thing-even fashions. Many years
ago "spool-heel" shoes and "can-
can" dresses, along with the nar-
row skirts with drapes on the
side, were greatly in demand.

As time marches on. these
same styles are returning with
different names. The "can-can"
dresses. In reality, are the bal-
lerina skirts worn with a crino-
line slip; the "spool-heel" shoes
are the famed capezlos; the nar-
row skirts with the drapes are
actually the same; however, the
silk scarf is rapidly replacing the
primitive drape.

Another feature which Is
creeping into "Mi' lady's "world
of fashion is the long free flow-
ing lines mound the waist which
are so reminiscent of those
"roaring twenties." To be more
exacting, it would seem as
though the complete fashion era
was being rclncarnatod.

With the lengthening of the
waist comes the shortening of
the hem. which fashion experts
predict will range from fourteen
to eighteen Inches from the floor
this season.

Coat dresses are still at the
prime In the season's run of lat-
est fashions. This too, Is a de-
rivative of the past the old-
time "Princess dress."

This season, the coat dress Is
done in smooth, silky looking
wools and In colors that are nei-
ther light nor dark. They are
always neutral colors, often dark
neutrals, importantly lightened
with checks, tiny stripes or a
dusting of white threads. This
garment is often referred to as
"The Dress of Sophistication";

tively with people. It l,s the Lone of voice of an InHtltutlon. It CoIIh
the public what the school Is doing and It tellfi the school what
the public Is thinking. The Hludcnt ncwHpapcr In the voice of stu-
dent expression; therefore, one
of the best ways to get to hLu-
dents Is by means of the kLu-
dent newspaper. In a Htudenl
newspaper, the students Inter-
pret their Ideas. The school ad-
ministrators and faculty mem-
bers, as well a.s the public, can
learn what the students think
through the expressions In a
newspaper.

^n the production of the news-
paper students should have the
opportunity to express them -
selves freely on policies, objec-
tives, and the school program.
Secondly, they should have fac-
ulty guidance but In order for
the work to reflect their think-
ing they should have freedom
of expression. Each issue of the
newspaper should be planned
with the view to the need of
the over-all public relations pro-
gram as well as to the specific
job it is to do and the audience
for which It Is designed. There-
fore, the students and faculty
advisers who help to plan the
students' newspaper should de-
cide : '[Why Is the newspaper
produced? Who will read the in-
formation? What is the mes-
sage? How will the presentation
be made? When should it reach
the reader? How is it to be dis-
tributed?

It Is very obvious that the
size and type of student news-
paper will depend upon the mes-
sage, the reader, and the budget
available. A careful study .should
be made to determine the size
and type of student newspaper.
The copy and pictures should
help drive home the message.
A situation that might work well
in one school might not work
well in another. In order to at-

tract a reader, It Is advl.-jnble
to keep the arrangement simple.

It Is good logic not to assume
that your .student newspapers
are doing the desired job. A con-
tinuing evaluation program
should be determined by the
staff.

It Is obvious that the purpose
of a student newspaper should
be: (I) to Inform. (2) to Inter-
pret, 13) to promote, and (4) to
record, A staff should always
endeavor- to put Its best foot for-
ward when Issuing the official
student publication.

The student newspaper often
provides the first point of con-
tact with people who may be-
come Important constituents of
the school. The appearance of
format, makeup, and content es-
tablish an image of the school
represented. In many Instances
the student newspapers are the
official envoys of the school for
many who are already constitu-
ents. It should be remembered
that the student body says in

Think It Through

Siivunnah State Coller.e will
be host to the Press Institute,
Apill 1-2. High school, Junior
1 hli'li and college editors, news-
/ piil)ci- Starr members, yearbook
stiilTs lUKi faculty advisors will
he expected In large attendance.
The themc! "Man's Right to
Knowlctlge and the Free Use
Tliereof." will emphasize the
Idea of some of the media
tlu-ough which man expresses
hhnseif. We can consider the
radio as one of the media for
expiesslng man's knowledge.
Through the Influence of the
speaker's voice, stressing force-
ful iierslstlng ideas, one can cre-
ate Interest in Important topics.
Interest In the goln of social
and political knowledge Is large-
ly contributed to our society
by the newspapers and maga-
zines.

One of the most recent con-
tributions to free expression Is
television; this column would be
Incomplete without Including It.
Television may be considered as
a combination of methods used
by the radio, newspapers and
magazines with the addition of
expressions through pictures.
We can see that man's right

to gain knowledge Is found
aboundantly In our democratic
form of government. A govern-
ment by the people and for the
people can and will be supported
by the motivation received from
the radio announcers, the picto-
rial expressions and the hard
work of a writer. The urge to
defend and protect our right to
knowledge and the free use
thereof can never be cast aside.
It will enrich every aspect of
life, broaden our knowledge,
light up unknown avenues of
thought and discover new capa-
(Illes for living and growing In
a free society.

The youth of today will be
tomorrow's leaders, politicians,
teachers, lawyers doctors and
clergymen. Youth should begin
Immediately to develop creative
thinking and Interest In work-
ing out scientific methods for
.s(>lvlng problems.

"Man's Right to Knowledge
and the Free Use Thereof" may
be considered as the foundation
of tomorrow's achievements and
problems. You as students are
the priceless few who enjoy the
freedom of a democracy. Think
It through!

Keynotes to Success

Mai

Lois Fal.-^on '54

The way to success in any-
thing Is always an upward climb,
the down grade is always a fiat
failure. In considering this mat-
ter, It will be well to remen\ber
and bear constantly In mind,
that it Is easier to slide down-
hill than It Is to climb up.

Character, education, Industry
and wealth are the successive
stages on the road to success
and they follow in tlielr regular
order.

Character belongs to every
man Individually and can not
be copied from another. I do not
know what character Is; I know
only that it accomplishes results.
Natural probity and Insight Into
what you are doing your trade,
business or occupation, a.e the
factors that compose character.
Character differs from reputa-
tion In that a man may have a
bad reputation and still possess
a good character.
Education goes with character

and means uiore than learning
or mere knowing. It means ca-
pacity and ability to utilize what
you know.

Industry means diligence in
developing character and utiliz-
ing education for all they are
worth. "The hand of the diligent
maketh rich." said Solomon. He
also said. "The diligent gaineth
favor."

Wealth comes through the ob-
servance of the foregoing and
certain things which sliould be
added. For instance to become
Industrious you must give your-
self and your fellowman a fair
exchange of what you receive;
you must watch your Intellec-
tual, spiritual and worldly wel-
fare.

Progressive men must seek op-
portunity which does not come
of Itself and which was denied
them In the past. You must
make yourself, and follow high
standards.

The Making of
a Veteran

A sobering Influence Is being
exerted by veterans on campus-
es throughout the country.
These thinking men and women
arc unwilling to accept "author-
itative" views. They are more
Inquiring, more Inquisitive, and
more practical In their approach
to life and its problems. Accord-
ingly, faculty members have
been forced to meet these "new"
individuals. No longer Is the "es-
tablished" professor able to lec-
ture from ragged, dog-eared, yel-
lowed notes which went unchal-
lenged by pre-war students. The
Instructor has been forced to
publish a new edition. This situ-
ation, of course, does not exist
at S.S.C; but I assure you that
It has been very much In evi-
dence at other Institutions.

What is a veteran? Webster
reports that the word has come
to us from the Latin veteranus,
meaning "old," with the Influ-
ence of the Greek etos, meaning
"years," Hence, a consideration
of the combination presents no
difficulty in our arriving at the
concept that a veteran is one
who has had long experience,
and who, because of that experi-
ence, has become seasoned in
the occupation under considera-
tion.

Let us consider some of the
travel experiences which have
been provided our veterans, I in-
vite you to consider with me a
Negro serviceman who Is being
drafted from Savannah, Geor-
gia. Imagine that he is head-
ing northward, via rail.

Washington. D, C. the nations
capital, is on the Itinerary,
Upon arriving In Union Station.
he saw the building of which
he had seen so many pictures.
There It was! The Capitol was
brightly lighted, and it assumed
the role of a beacon guiding aU
who would seek its refuge. Our
serviceman walked toward the
Capitol, and It did supply a last-
ing memory. He recalled, from
his American history at Beach
High School, some facts con-
cerning the development of our
government. His mind went back
to 1776. The Second Continental
Congress was meeting in Inde-
pendence Hall, in Philadelphia,
The Declaration of Independ-
ence, for the first time in his
life, became vividly alive. Audi-
bly he muttered meaningfully:
When in the course of human
events it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the po-
litical bands which have con-
nected Ihem with another , ,
Indeed he was pleased with him-
self- It was readily apparent that
American history is not a flU-in
course; It Is vital, practical, and
inspiring. He had frenuently
confused this great docvment
with the Preamble to the Con-
stitution. They were now clearly
separable. Again, his mind was
focused on Philadelphia. This
time the year was 1787; the oc-
casion was the Constitutional
Convention; George Washington
was presiding. Our Negro ser-
viceman spoke with all the sin-
cerity which was his: We the
people of the United States, in
order to form a more perfect
union, establisli justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defence, promote
tlie general welfare and secure
the blessings of liberty to our-
selves and our posterity, do or-
dain and establish this consti-
tution for the United States of
America. He looked around him;
he saw the implementation of
the Constitution There was the
Lincoln Monument, the Wash-

Creative Tributes

JUST AN EXPRESSION
OF THOUGHT

Armanda Cooper '55

While thinking of those who are
about to bid our dear old Alma Mater
adieu and enter into various fields of
labor, I thought thai I would express
my sincere hope for them a successful
and prosperous future throu-gh the let-
ters of the phrase, "Happy Easter."

Have a heart that is pure, and

Appearance that is pleasing.

Patience where children are con-
cerned and

Politeness in speech and action.

You are a guide that youth will
follow.

Elevate good moral standards by
being an example.

Always reveal the smile and hide
the frown.

Sincerity is what you may add.

Teaching is what you multiply.

Envy is poisonous, you must sub-
tract.

Respect for yourself and others
will be divided.

With these thoughts ever present in
your mind, they will eventually be
transmitted lo the heart and soul. Then
surely your profession teill be more
meaningfitf to you, to those you teach
and to the community.

SPRING PROPOSAL

Solomon Green '55
Beautiful blooming springtime
Gay birds sing and build nests

in trees,
Naked trees are clothed with

leaves
And make love to the evergreen

pines.

Come to me my darling, come

to me!
Upon this proposal we must

agree
As long as youth, we'll love

together.
For after youth, love comes

never.
It Is spring time, can't you see?
Come to me my darUng. come

to me!

Beautiful blooming springtime,
To a lovely pole clings a vine.
Thoughts of love fill many

minds
And lovers steal kisses from

their kinds.
It is springtime, can't you see?
Come to me my darling, come

to me!

Organization Highlights

Here's To Veterans

This is the turn of the quar-
ter and the veterans' club would
like to take this opportunity to
acquaint itself with all new vet-
erans. Join your club, men!!

We would like to take this
time to thank Dr. V, W. Stone
for appearing as principal speak-
er and guest of honor on the
Veterans' Club program on Feb-
ruary 18. 1954- We believe that
Dr. Stone related very interest-
ingly the fine qualities and fac-
tors that come together to make
a veteran the man that he is.
We hold that we had top choice
in this person, and we are very
grateful for having been able to
secure his services. Our hat is
off, too, to Miss Hermenia Mob-
ley for her very fine rendition
which contributed so much to
the character of our program.

The Veterans' Club observed
Washington's Birthday at the
V.F.W.'s Van Ellison post in Sa-
vannah, Georgia. The occasion
was a huge success; final plans
were formulated for the Savan-
nah State College Veterans' Loan
Association. Veterans are here-
by notified that the Veterans'
Loan Association is now in ef-
fect with comparable assets.

Kappa Alpha Psi

Fraternity News

The Kappas' Third Annual Va-
riety Revue will be presented on

April 21. 1954, at 7;30 P.M. in
Meldrim Auditorium. The par-
ticipants for the Revue have
been contacted and looking over
the probable program, it appears
that the Kappas have gone to a
great extent to present the best
entertainment ever presented on
the campus.

The brothers of Kappa Alpha
Psi have chosen various young
ladies who are competing for
that glorious title of "Kappa
Sweetheart, 1954-55." The broth-
ers are very proud of these young
ladies that they are sponsoring
in the contest and each broth-
er is working hard so that his
contestant will wear the crown.
The contestants are; Misses Lois
Cone, Hazel Harris, Dorothy
Heath, Genevieve Holmes, Sarah
Howard. Virginia Sheffield, Do-
ris Singleton and Vivian Wise.

The Kappas' Greek - letter
Scholastic Achievement trophy
will be presented to the Greek-
letter organization having the
highest cumulative average for
the past three quarters. This
award will be presented during
the Kappas' Annual Guide-Right
Ceremonies in April. Last year
the trophy was won by the Sig-
ma Gamma Rho Sorority. All
Greek-letter organizations are
urged to submit a complete ros-
ter to the Office of the Regis-
trar by April 1, 1954.

The Days
We Celebrate

THE DAYS WE CELEBRATE

Have you ever wondered just
what provoked certain holidays
that are observed during the 12
months In a year year In and
year out? Rarely does a month
pass which does not bring forth
a holiday, feast, festival, or an-
niversary for someone. All of
those spring fion\ some signifi-
cant event which dates back Into
the depths of history.

During the month of March,
the I7th day Is set aside as St.
Patrick's day. St. Patrick, the
patron saint of Ireland, has been
honored and the anniversary of
his death has been celebrated in
America from very early tluics.
This has become such a well-es-
tablished and joyous occasion
that even those who cannot
claim Irish ancestry Join In
"wearin' o" the green" and pay-
ing respect to the Immortal
shamrock.

The 21st day of March gives
us a change In seasons and the
first day of beautiful spring.
This is the day of the vernal
equinox, the point at which the
center of the sun moves across
the celestial equator from south
to north, This marks the begin-
ning of spring In the northern
hemisphere. The word "equi-
nox," from the Latin for equal
night, signifies the time of the
year when day and night ai'c
equal. September 22 brings forth
the Autumnal equinox and the
same procedure holds true for It.
April 1st is a day to which all
of us look forward; It Is a day
set apart as a time when it Is
permissible to play harmless
tricks upon friends and neigh-
bors. The impression prevails
that the custom has something
to do with the observance of the
spring equinox. It is of uncer-
tain origin, but it probably had
its beginning In France about
1564.

Easter is celebrated on April
18th this year. It is the princi-
pal feast of the ecclesiastical
year. It Is now celebrated on the
Sunday after the first full moon
following the spring equinox.
Consequently, Easter moves be-
tween March 22 and April 25.
From 1916-1965 it occurs forty
times In April and ten times in
March.

These days become more sig-
nificant in our lives when we
know their origins and history.
The above mentioned are just a
few of the "special days" and
they have been presented main-
ly because they are celebrations
we have just observed and oth-
ers which we anticipate in the
near future.

'The Velvet Glove' A Great Success

The Suvunniih State Dranuitlc

presented on March 11, 1064. In
connection with Religious Em-

hanced the success of the ac-
tivities for the religious program.

"The Volet Glove" Is ii comedy
In throe acts and won first prl/e
In a play contest held by the
Catholic organization known a.s
"The Christophers." The story
concerns a young, male, history
teacher in convent school, who
Is about to be fired because a
rich contributor to the church
objects t,o his liberal views; fi-
nally, the young radical Is recon-
:idered because an oven wealth-
ier lady refuses to make her
Iiledged contribution unless he
Is taken back.

The characters displayed the
professional touch as they de-

|)lrtod the pleasures and sor-
rows of .spiritual life. There was
an undcrstandlngly sympathet-
ic vindertonc that was Instru-
mental In making the pluy a
tremendous success.

bers of S.S.C, were heard In a
panel discussion on local Radio
Station WSAV, an NBC outlet,

sion?." was discussed expertly by
Dr. R, Grann Lloyd, director of
the monthly radio hroudcast.
Dr. Calvin L, Klah, and Dr. Ver-
non W. Stone.

The pivotal date Was recog-
nl/od as mid- 1953, when the Ko-
rean War wQ.s abruptly brought
to a halt, Business activity of
the first few months of 1954 was
related to the 1953 base period.

served to have declined are em-
ployment, gross national |)rod-
uct, national Income, spendable
Income, basic living costs, wales
In general, new orders. Industrial
production, money In circula-
tion, government expenditures,
and Imports. Selected economic
barometers which showed an
advance are construction, gov-
ernment deficit. bu-Hlness expen-
diture for plant and equipment,
exports, stock market values,
wholesale and retail prices, util-
ity sales and earnings, and per-
sonal Income,

The discussion showed the
full-employment characteristic
of prosperity to be In existence,
with substantial improvement In
view. A decreased spending for

consumer and prodvictlon woods
wns recognl/ed. and the possi-
bility of Its rurnlshlng the
groundwork for the recessionary
lihase of the business cycle was
discussed.

analy/.ed and evaluated, good
times are iiredlctod by the ex-
pert business analysts and ccon-
onilsLs, Dr, Lloyd and Dr. Stone
demonstrated optimism and
agreed une{|ulvncally with that
consensuH. Dr. Klah, on the

Isni, hut ho voiced a desire to
observe more convincing evi-
dence of prosperity.

Growth and Development

Duilni; Ihc i);i;.l rciil iiilrs, wv
have nijscrvcd Uu- IniTfiislnn
number of students passing
through the halls of collcBes and
universities. These men and
women have ben cultivated like
the soil of the earth,

Romonibeving a person as a
freshuian Is dirrerent froui the
nieiiiory of a graduating senior.

As a freshman, a person nuiy-
be considered as a seed being
planted into the earth that It
nuiy have a chance for growth,
The student then enters the
sophomore and Junior years In
order to continue In physical,
social, religious und mental
growth, and he will begin to de-
velop a sound set of values that
will aid In his life's work.

The tempo of eliange today
Is a challenge to every individual
to undersland lilmscK and his
world about him. lie must de-
velop the iiower to maintain
harmony between Inner and
outer forces, The college student
Is develoi)lnR Into a potential
leader as well as a follower In
the world; he has first hand In-
formal I'jn relative to responsi-
bilities and problems of living
today. He has a chance of be-
coming a creative citizen pre-
pared to eope Intelligently with
new conditions as they arise.
Growth and development in col-
lege are essential fuundallons for

(itl/cnsliip that Is
lU'cessary to succesful living be-
yond the college years.

The three major areas in
which one should grow and de-
veloi) for the betterment of him-
self and humanity are: Sound
IMiiiosuphy of Life. Through a
college career one acquires tech-
niques, ijolnts of view and In-
formation, But If a college stu-
dent Is to develop to his fullest
capacity for the enrichment of
his phlllsophy, he should attain
something more. He should
strive for a desired way of life
and develop a system of values
that maybe willfully believed in
and accepted by the Individual.
A Pleasing Personality. Per-
sonality Is not developed merely
by going to college or by taking
lessons in how to gain friends,
A healthy personality is a com-
plex structure, and cannot be
glibly achieved. An effective de-
velopment of personality may be
obtained by the improvement of
the sum total of habits that one
has formed. Finally, Knowledge
and Skill. In order to progress
successfully In life, one must
have ability along with a wide
scope of knowledge that can be
applied to everyday living. Any
goal can be attained if one is
Industrious, ambitious, and skill-
ful in utilizing the knowledge
obtained from a college educa-
tion

School Is Never Out

I A Reporter's Views on
Commmeneement
Joseph Brown 58
As the school year comes to
an end. a shadow of melan-
choly is cast over the entire
campus Our beloved seniors who
have striven so hard toward
these final days are planning for
graduation.

Commencement does not just
mean the long processions and
the series of exercises that go
to make up the commencement
activities. Commencement has a
more significant meaning. Let
us carefully analyze the word
and see what it really means.
Commencement comes from the
Latin word commence which
means to begin; therefore, when
one graduates he has just be-
gun.

School is never out. After
commencement then what?
Some will enter the various uni-
versities where they will secure
education that leads to an even
higher degree. Some will take

jobs and will profit from some-
thing tliat they have never ex-
perienced before. Some will en-
ter the various branches of serv-
ice; there, too, they will have
new experiences. No matter
what field one may enter, one
will still undergo some form of
learning.

Our education began when we
were put into this world several
years ago. It Is like being at
the foot of a ladder, this ladder
is the ladder of life and can
only be climbed step by step.
Many times while one is climb-
ing, he faces numerous obstacles,
but if the determination is great
enough, the obstacles are soon
east aside.

As one reaches the top of the
ladder, he will be able to seek
out his future. As for our grad-
uates, the stage was set, and
they were the players. They
must have acted well their part5,
for they will have gone another
step on the ladder of life on
June 2nd.

Current News

Thomas E. Evans, '55

Since the fall of Dlen Blen
Phu. much discussion has been
f;entered around the Interven-
tion of the United States into
the Indo-Chine.se war. Senator
Knowland, house majority lead-
er, Is in favor of the United
States' giving the French air and
.*iea aid In fighting the com-
munists.
iVIeCarthyism

The McCarthy committee
hearings are of no benefit to the
American people. The commit-
tee hearings have been success-
ful only In lowering the Ameri-
can prestige abroad.

The question that has arisen In
my mind Is whether the legisla-
tive body Is going beyond Its
limitations or not.
Supreme Court Makes History

The recent ruling of the Su-
preme Court outlawing segrega-
tion In public schools has pro-
voked much discussion. The
south in particular, has taken
the ruling cautiously and calmly
except for Georgia's governor,
Herman Talmadge, who stated
that the ruling by the head
court has reduced the Constitu-
tion to a mere 'scrap of paper'.
World Record Set

The recent world mile record
set by Roger Bannister ( time
3:59,4), English medical student,
has broken the legendary 4:00
mile. Even after setting a world
record. Bannister said that his
greatest ambition is to beat
America's Wes Santee.
Crilicism

I would like to criticize the
administration and the kind of
support that has been given to
Secretary Stevens in the commit-
tee hearings. With the under-
standing that the secretary of
army Is under the Department, of
Defense, a cabinet office, It
seems altogether fitting that the
executive branch would defend
the person concerned since these
offices are under its jurisdiction.
Much to my regret. I would like
to say that the executive branch
has not been outspoken enough

Readers' Favorites
Old and New

You aif now one of the ap-
proximately 300,000 college stu-
dents who received their first
degree this year. Your degree
granted you so recently records
the arduous hours, the credits,
and the months in residence.
The world lins yet to measure
your education as your Alma
Mater has your schooling. What
will count in what you have
learned is what you can do with
your knowledge. America needs
the best minds in positions of
leadership today and your
community will look toward you
for this guidance. Be prepared
and worthy of this confidence.
No better means of continued
growth can be found than read-
ing reading that has a purpose
or rather a succession of pur-
poses. Many of you who have
been guided in what to read and
when to read, have solemnly de-
clared that 'come commence-
ment' you won't look at anotlier
book for eons and eons. Happily
for you and for your fellowman,
it won't be too long before you
will miss the companionship of
books for they do help supply
fuel for the universal human
urge to understand. So from time
to time, when you return to
your books, cheek the scope of
your reading, tor there must be
a certain rounding out of litera-
ture as a whole if breadth of
background is to be developed.
Try a book that you happen to
see on the shelves of your li-
brary or bookstore, or a title
that someone recommends.

Some of the outstanding lead-
ers in the civic, educational, re-
ligious and business hfe of Sa-
vannah suggest the following

NIGHT AND DAY
Solomon Green "55
The sun drifts across the

westerly hills and bays.
Darkening the earth with

beautiful arrays.
Then the shadows come to

brighten stars' lights.
And God chose to call this

night.

Then, the sun comes near.
The dear stars it scares
And makes sleepy shadows

disappear
As the sun becomes bright
Animals begin their plight.
And love Is so wonderful

and gay,
God chose to call this day,

ALONE

Johnnie Mae Thompson '58
I once was alone until I found

you,
I once was alone, heartbroken

and blue.
I prayed for the day when

you would be
Mine, to love eternally.
I found in you a fountain

sweet,
I found in you a life

complete.
My wish has now, at last,

come true.
For you are mine and I love

you.

TRY AGAIN
Nadene Cooper '55
If you should try and fail
To accomplish wiiat you plan.
Don't give up hope and

courage,
Hold your head up, and try

again.
If every way you try to go
Someone seems to hinder.
Just take it as your part.
Never to hardships surrender.
If each day seems to darken
Your life with clouds of

rejection.
Keep trying with sincerity,
Stand up to your conviction.
Your efforts, hardships and

tribulations
Are something like a friend.
You'll never know what you

can do.
Until you have tried again.

A Senior's Message

Dorothy Mae Bess, '54
There is inexpressible joy in
being a senior; so many hopes
and ideals are collected in one's
mind When I think of the
status of a Senior ,it reminds
me of one who looks back and
then forward. A senior casts a

backward look at his achieve-
ments and his failures. In his
achievements, he finds satisfac-
tion; while in his failures, he
sees the possibility for improve-
ment. Looking forward, he is
held tightly by the clutches of

Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity

The Kappa Alpha Psi Fratern-
ity has recently promoted the
last three of its major programs
of the school year. Terminating
with the Black and White Ball,
the fraternity is proud of a suc-
cessful year.

The Variety show on April 23,
with our advisor. Mr. John H.

Camper, serving as master of
ceremonies was enjoyed by a
near capacity crowd in Meldrim
Auditorium. The show gained the
interest of talent throughout the
campus as well as the city of Sa-
vannah. Trophies and cups were
given to groups or individuals
who were deserving in the opin-
ion of the judges. Highlighting
the show was a short intermis-
Eicn skit by the "clogs" who were
about half way across the "sand"
trying to make Kappa.

The fraternity expanded its
breadth with the initiation of
six neophytes. On the night of
April 27, the initiation of James
Thomas, Henry Dressen, Earnest
Hicks. Robert Jackson, Benjamin
Graham, and Johnnie P. Jones
was culminated in tlie form of
a banquet with the pledges act-
ing as hosts.

Probably the most memorable
event of the year is the annual
Black and White Ball sponsored
by the Brothers of Gamma
Chi. The tireless efforts proved
worthy and not in vain. Every-
one enjoyed a pleasant evening.
The serenity of the music of Joe
Bristow was at its best and
stirred one's emotions.

The Brothers are looking for-
ward to another glorious and
prosperous school year with the
following newly elected officers;
James Thomas, polemarch; Vir-
gil Wilcher, vice polemarch;
Robert F. Jackson, keeper of rec-
ords: Benjamin Graham, keeper
of exchequer; David Lurry, strat-
egus: Ernest Hicks, historian;
