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 HONOR SOCIETY-Tho nineteen charter m r-h.'s .>!

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 He also repealed the working motto of Alpha Kappa Mu: "Work as though you were going to live forever; live as though you were going to die tonight."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 Holmes Stratien, Leon D. Wilson, and Richard M. Williams. A cumulative average of 23 and an average of sixty semester hours were listed as minimum requirements for membership. An initiation will be held during the Spring quarter during which those Nighf Courses In Business Offered hi -'i-kiiiK lo incri-ase its services, facilities, and program to the public. Savannah Stale College is offering business courses in the night school program during the Spring quarter. Some of the courses offered are ac- counting, business law. business organi- ation and management, retailing, type- writing and shorthand for beginners and advanced students. Persons taking these courses may work toward a degree in business or improve their personal skill for immedi- ate practical use in earning a better income, thus making a better contribu- tion lo the firm or organization with which they are affiliated.

Marching Band Provides Latest In tyles The fast-stepping, thirty-five piece SSC Marching Band helped to make the 1951 gridiron season interesting, fascinating, and successful. Grid fans witnessed the latest in band maneuvers, formations, and styles. The Marching Band often "stole the show" with such performances as "Yankee Doodle." ^Qock." "Shote." and "Horn." Jauntily- attired and high-stepping majors and maj"rettes led the Marching Rand to Savannah State Accredited By SACSS At ih'- annual meeting of the .South- ern -Association of Colleges and Seo ondary Schools in St. Petersburg, Flori- da, In December, 1951, the Executive Committee of the Southern .\ssocialion voted to grant approval to Savannah State College, In June, 1940, Savannah State was given a "B" rating by the Southern Association; however, the Association no longer grants "A" or "B" ratings. .'\n institution js either "approved" o: "disapproved."

Dr. Calvi L. Kiah, chairman of tlie department of education, and Miss Donella J.

Circulation Manager, by . m., April 18. 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 you can feel certain Thai you have given lo one in need. March. 1932 THE TIGER'S ROAR GIRLS' BASKETBALL SQUAD Front row. left lo righl: Mildred Grahom, Audrey SpoHi, Froncio Howj.d.

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.

The committee in Resource Per- sons was particularly interested in obtaining individuals whose expe- riences in fields relevant to the surveys would serve ns enriching material. Dr. W. K. Payne, President of Savannah Stale College was our first consultant. He spoke on Hu- man Relations. Some high points wore Human Relations is the most important factor in the solution of problems; it breaks down stcro- types; and it is based on the in- telligence of human values. It frees the best in an individual, and the best agency tor spreading good human relations is through the child in the classroom. On June 20 Mr. Theodore Wright spoke to us on Physical Educotion and health. He stressed health and physical education as a part of education for the youth. He out- lined three factors of physical edu- cation: (1) Power to act which we call strength and endurance; (2) Skill to act flexibility, liming, balance, and relaxation: and (3) Motivation to act goal or purpose. 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. Scott Named Editor of N. Y. U. Bulletin Savannah State College's Public Relations Chief, Wilton C. Scott, has been accorded the honor of editing the University's summer bulletin for the Associated Work- shop in Educational Leadership. According to a release following the election, as editor-in-chief of this publication, Mr. Scott will have an honor rarely accorded a Negro from the deep South. The Associated Workshops in Educational Leadership is com- posed of about 350 school adminis- trators, principals and teachers from all over this country and also the West Indies. From this number two teachers from Chatham County, Mrs. Sadie B. Stringer and Mrs. Virginia D. Nelson serve on the staff as typists. They are in a different division of the workshop than Mr. Scott, his main interest being the seminar in administra- tive problems. ' Receives Tremendous Ovation By JOHN A. ALDRIDCE 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. Problems Class Mrs. Brown; "I wonder If you would be so kind as to weigh this package for me?" Butcher: "Why certainly, it weighs exactly three and a half pounds, Ma'am." Mrs. Brown: "Thank you. It contains the bones you sent me in that four-pound roast yesterday." "I got 35 In arithmetic and 40 in spelling but I sure knocked 'em cold in geography," "What did" you get?" "Zero." By ANNIE R. ROEBUCK 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.

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 Workshop Does Creative Work By MRS. MELBA McLENDON The first summer session Arts and Crafts Workshop was very ac- tive this summer. It was composed of forty-nine in-service and pros- pective teacliers and was under the direction of Mrs. Rosemary Curley Jackson. The group did scribble designs, spatter painting, finger painting, tempera painting, popier nmche aninmls, soap carving, weaving, blue-printing and block printing. Many individuals worked on special projects and were quite succi^sful. it woa quite revealing tol see such beautiful objects made from waste materliUn. \ Mrs, Jackson was quite sucioss- ful in taking the class, as a wjiolo, back to its childhood days, Dy creative drowings and dabbling in puiiil, the average individual In I he clasrt wandered mentally back to childhood. I am qulto confident that till' numy experiences tlmt we shared in tlie workshop this sum- mer will be of great iienofit to our pupils In the next school year. 66 Enrolled in Elementary Workshop During Summer Session Sixty-Hlx peril. iiH iiiv .'Midllcd in llic elementary workshop for the second summer HOHslon, as com- pared with 04 during the first ses- sion, Tbf group chose us its themo for tlie second session, "Promoting Child Development and Toacher (Jrowth Through Co-operotlvfl Planning."

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.

Gertrude Davis Thomas Class of '52 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 to learn.

Enrollees Grouped Accordng to Interest The G6 members of the workshop are divided into groups according to interest or problems. Groups organized are: Language Arts, Arithmetic, Physical Education and Health, Social Studies, and Science. Officers were also elected for each of these groups. The members of the group spon- sored a chapel program during the regular weekly chapel hour, Wednesday, July 23. The program ;onsisted of a classroom demon- sti-ation on teaching mathematics in & practical manner. He DID Lady (holding cookie over her dog): Speak! Speak! 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. Lula E. Walker. 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. August, 1952 County Chatham Superintendent Addresses Wednesday Assembly 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 TIGER'S ROAR Page 5 \ IKW OI'KN-IIOIISK K.MUIUT - Miss Juanita Sellers, ln.slr,u.r in I.anguages and Literature inspects a lip-covere,l dmir ,iu, lag Ibe join Open-House celebration of the Divisions of Home Economies and Trades and Industries July !) _ 12.

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, (Continued on Page 7) Whose laslis sent liiiu in any kind of weather. To help u fallen soul who fell alone To strive again. Your load cannot be bourne By any other; hut men must work tiogether For God commands to love ye one another; To meet, to live, forever near His throne. No guide to steed my course f >r' hetter life I gain my strength from His ideals of grace, And keep my soul steadfast in love divine. I cannot keep the pace of conniur- cial strife And see in penci. my MasU'r's smil- ing face. And hear His welcome voice, O child of mine.

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."

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."

Payne 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, MISS CAMILLA WILLIAMS, SOPRANO.

In the conwrt hall the soprano's success matched her stage achievements. Critic C. J. Bulliet reported in the Chicago Daily News: "In Paris in the time of the Second Empire, the students would have unhitched the horses from her carriage and themselves pulled Camilla Williams through 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- meiieo." presented by the Little Or- chestra Society during its April Festival of Mozart Operas. Camilla Williams' first record- ings were for RCA Victor and in- cluded two best-selling Spirituals: "City Called Heaven" and "0, What a Beautiful City."

"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."

"Yes, you are here and when you leave you will be Mrs. Jay. I want your dad to know my wife." "What kind of marriage will this be a runaway marriage?" "No, darling you came to see me. Your father has given his per- mission." "I see." "Then you agree." "When I left Eastman I thought I knew what was right." "What do you mean?" "Just this. I'm hetre. Got a letter that didn't make sense and ushed here," "So what?" "What shall I tell my friends?" "That you are married that is all. We tried to let them share it but some one obpected to the whole affair." Will you ever feel differently, I mean about my coming here?" "Yes, I feel different now be- cause I've just learned that you are not only sweet but very thoughtful and wise. Tomorrow, then?" No tonight. I'll go home to- morrow." Good! watch. "What now?" "It is one o'clock and you haven't had any food today." "Yoiu are a poor host. Is this the kind of man I'm to marry?"

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Professional and Civic Affiliations An active civic worker and professional leader as well as an educator, Doctor Trenholm is a Past-President and Secretary of 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 A POEM By Georgia E.

Work On New Men's Dormitory Begun On Wednesday, July Ifi, IDM, work wius started on the new half- million dollar men's dormlUny at Savannah State College. The Byck-Worroll Construction Company of Savannah who will build the dormitory, started clearing away the trees on the dormitory site In preparation for beRlnnlng construction of the new edifice. Architects tor the ultra-modern structure are Cletus W. and William P. Bernen. The new building l.s being constructed adjacent to Hill Hall the present men's dormitory. It will accommodate 220 student.s, Dr, Wlllliun K, Payne, Presl- dent of the College. In connnent- Ing on the work, stated that he was pleased that work was un- derway for the construction of the new building because It will meet one of the college's great- est needs that of liouslng. Doc- tor Payne pointed nut that tlie new dormitory will place the col- lege In a position for a unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps. The new building will bo a three-story odlflco constructed on an L-ahaped plan, with re- inforced concrete floors, ceilings and roof throuRhout. The ex- terior walls will be of concrete block, faced with a red range face brick In the full range of colors with continuous fenestra- tion. The continuous wlndowH on each floor will be aluminum with cry.-ital plate glass and all ventilating .sectlon.s will be equipped with aluminum screens, The roof of the building will be- a 20 year built-up tar and felt roof, and the whole structure will be completely fire-proof. In the building there will be 105 dormitory rooms, each ac- commodating two students. The Interior of those rooms will be of cement plaster at side walls and ceilings and the entire area, both, both In sleeping room.s and corridors, will be finished with asphalt floor tile. In each of the sleeping rooms there will be com- modious closet for each student, together with built-in chest of drawers, also arranged to pro- duce maximum comfort and Irene Mlkell, Stateaboro; Mrs. Idonia Darby, Savannah; Miss Alfreda Adams. Savannah and Miss Catherine Renfro, Mllledge- vllle. Professor Frazler, Director of the workshop, was well quali- fied for hla work, having re- ceived Narcotics Education train- ing at Paul Qulnn College, Waco, Texas, and Northv/estern Univer- sity. He has al.HO conducted Nar- cotics workshops throughout the State of Tennessee. 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 (Continued on Page 4) Pa ge 2 THE TIGER'S ROAK Aug iisl. 1953 THE TIGER'S ROAR Member: IntercolleRlate PresH Association.

Bowens 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. Llzettae Footman 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. Doris Tharpe 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. GeorglaE.Gordon 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 I Continued on Page 4) Au gust, 1953 THE riGERS ROAR Page 3 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 The Elementary Workshop B> Doris Tharpc There were seventy-six teachers enrolled In the Elementary Workshop. They were divided into three groups according to their interest. ii> The Lower Reuriing Group was supervised by Mrs, Donella G Seabrook with Mrs. Annie L.

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 (Continued on Pago 4) 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.

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. W.

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.

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.

The skit was di- rected by Dr. Kiah with Angus Henry as stage manager. The theme of the skit was, "Making the Curriculum In the Secondary School Dynamic ' The first di- mension was the old traditional one-room school where the teacher told the student what, when and how to do their work. The emphasis was on the lesson content of the book only, Mrs. Georgia Gordon of Savannah. portrayed the traditional teacher who ruled the classroom with iron handed discipline. The second dimension was the modern, well lit classroom with reference materials and informal seating arrangement The teach- er served as co-ordinator and advisor to the students, putting stress on group participation and teacher-pupll planning. In the modern school emphasis was placed on the individual student and ways to meet his physical. mental, emotional, aesthetic and social needs. The Third Dimension will be the new school of the future, de- veloped by the teachers and fu- ture teachers of tomorrow. Con- sultants assisting Dr. Kiah in the workshop were Mr. R, C. Long.

SAVANNAH STATE SAVANNAH, GEORGIA ROAR October, 1953 THE TIGER'S ROAR Vol. 7, No. 2 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 Homecoming Nov. 14 To Be Gala Occasion The Homecoming on Novem- ber 14 will be a gala affair.

If you have not registered with the library for this term, please do so at your earliest convenience to avoid confusion. Please keep these ideas in mind during your daily visits thereby helping your library to be a place of enjoy- ment as well as a place of in- tellectual growth. reading maketh a full man . .

Brooks, Pulitzer Winner 1st Book Off The Press The first novel by Gwendolyn Brooks, Negro Pulitzer Prize win- ner in poetry, was published this week by Harper and Brothers of New York City. Titled "Maud Martha," the story centers around a Negro daughter, wife and mother who 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," was published by the same com- pany in 1945 and in 1949 she won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry for her second volume of poetry, "Annie Allen." The novel is her Engineering and Technical Division Add i'o School Savannah State College con- tinues to grow. The departments of Education, Social Science, and Business Administration are now being made Into divisions, Engi- neering and Technical Sciences Divisions are being added. Dr. W. K. Payne, president of Savannah State College, an- nounces that the Board of Re- gents has approved the forma- tion of seven Instructional Divi- sions, and the General Exten- sion and Correspondence Divi- sion at Savannah State College. At the present time Savannah State College has three Instruc- tional Divisions, plus General Extension. The present divi- sions are: arts and sciences, home economics and trades and industry. j The new divisions will be: hu- manities, social science, natural science, education, business ad- ministration, engineering and technical sciences and vocational training. These Instructional Di- visions with General Extension. will comprise the Savannah State College program, totaling eight divisions. The departments of mathe- matics, physics, and chemistry will compose the natural .science division. The education division will be composed of the depart- ments of elementary and sec- ondary education. The second- ary education majors will spe- cialize in social science, general science, mathematics, English and literature, commercial sub- jects, distributive education. In- dustrial education, and general and special shop subjects. In the division of business administra- tion the students can specialize in industrial management, office practice, accounting and busi- ness and financial economics. According to a statement by Dr. Payne, this program will de- pend upon current studies and available facilities. However, steps are already being taken for the implementation of this pro- gram.

Savannah Stale . . . tlic hesi 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. Creative Tributes GREETINGS TO THE FRESH- MAN CLASS From President of the Student Council Timothy U. Ryals I greet you with smiles from S. S.

We'll be glad to assist you in every possible way. Take advantage of all opportu- nities that you are able to get. And as tlie years go by you will have no regrets. May your pathway be bright Your dreams come true. Your school year be happy. And success to you. 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 . . . {Continued on Page 4) October, 1953 THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 3 ocietp g)lant!g I 'I.

Greek Letter Organizations 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, Ruben L. Gamble; financial sec- retary, William D. Wood. Jr.; treasurer, Timothy U, Ryals; his- torian, Thomas J.

Decem- ber 4, 1906, at Cornell University. Ithaca, N. Y. 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, Walter McCall; Keeper of Rec- ords and Seals, ^'ames Ashe; 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. ZETA PHI BETA Zeta Phi Beta Sorority on Sa- vannah State College campus of- fers to each girl finer woman hood, sisterly love and scholar- ship. The program this year is much concerned with the devel- opment of personality and lead- ership among n on-Greek stu- dents as well as Greeks. Plan.s have been made for a very dy- namic and successful year. The newly elected officers for the en- suing year are: Beautine Baker, Basileus Bertha Lankford, Antl-baslleu.s Mary Bacon, Grammateus La Rue Gasklna, Ta' Mlas- Grammateus Mrs, Ella W, Fisher, Advisor DELTA SIGMA THETA Delta Nu Chapter of Delta Sig- ma Theta Sorority was the last Greek-Letter organization to en- ter the Savannah State College Family. Though it is the young- est Greek group, the members have initiated many projects that help to enrich our college Socially, Delta Nu sponsors two parties. Of the group Is the much talked about Raggedy Ann and Andy Ball which has proved fun for all in the past. Educationally, the Deltas spon- sor chapel programs and schol- arship projects. Each year the Freshman woman who has the highest cumulative average is honored at the May Week Chapel Program. A careful examination of the 1953-54 plans for Delta Nu will prove that the members have planned a program that is In keeping wit hthe public motto of the sorority "Intelligence is the torch of Wisdom." Delta Nu Chapter of Delta Sig- ma Theta Sorority starts the 1953-54 year with the following roster: Carolyn Gladden, President ; Lillie Linder.

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 iContinufd on Page 2* 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 band. Savannah. Georgia. The band members were dressed in their respective school uniforms and marched with pep and skill through the streets of Savannah. The cars and floats were skill- fully decorated and made an eye- catching impression as the array of autumn colors moved through the city streets. The sidewalks were crowded with onlookers and the outstand- ing floats and cars were applaud- ed as they passed by the enthusi- astic bystanders. Blue, gold, yellow, red and brown were the dominant colors used in suit combinations and queens and their attendants. Prizes Awarded Approximately 35 xrnlts, floats, cars and bands made up the mammoth, history making parade. Mr. Frank Tharpe, chairman of the Savannah State homecom- ing committee, announced that William James High School band won first prize among the high schools competing for Savannah State College homecoming awards. Woodville High and Al- fred E. Beach High won second and third places respectively. The three winning bands are directed by Savannah State Alumni. Joseph Solomon, Wil- liam James; Samuel Gills, Wood- ville; Carl Wright, Alfred E, Beach, The prize for the beat decorat- ed building was won by the Fine Arts department; Powell Labora- tory School was second; Hill Hall, third. The fir.st prize for the best decorated float was awarded the Home Economics department. There was a second place tie be- tween the Omega Psl Phi and the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternities. Kappa Alpha Psl fraternity, the Alumni Chapter and the Senior cla.ss tied for first prize for the best decorated car. Sec- ond place was won by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

'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.

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. 'Ihomas R. fc-vans '55 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 tnai a isegro nas ever been pres- laent of ine largest boruugn In the nation s metropolis.

We should remember "the Fa- ther of Thanksgiving," Gover- 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 which one should be thankful. QUEEN CROWNED {Continued from Page 1) son. a streak of gold.

ALUMNI MEET IN COLLEGE CENTER Creative Tributes 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.

Let Your Difficulties Be Your Stepping Stones November, 1953 THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 3 ocietp Plants; Les Modes PEM 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 Conyers who graduated last year and are now in the Armed Forces.

Savannah State Into its Biggest Building Program in Years Traveling around the campus of Savannah State College, Georgia's largest institution of higher education for Negroes, one can see a dream coming true, five construction projects already initiated.

It will supplement the gymna.sti(.'s facilities and make it possible for more modern gymnastic opcrator,4 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.

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 .

Epps Thomas Evans Lillian Freeman Nettye A, Handy Solomon Green 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. Signed: W. K. PAYNE.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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- day School will present a panel discussion, entitled, "Religion, Key to Effective Living." On Tuesday, William Bowen, Direc- tor of Audio-Visual Aids, will present a movie entitled "Walk- ing With God." Wednesday's Social Education Hour will be turned over to the guest of the Week for discussion. On Thurs- CLARENCE J. LOFTON Presi- dent of the YJ\I.Cj\., 1954.

Mrs. Varncttn Fra- zier, our dietitian, has announced that on the first day of Religious Emphasis Week, breakfast will be served in family style, All students are requested to be in the dining hall at 8 o'clock and dressed suitably to meet our guest. The faculty and students will have breakfast together. Miss Elizabeth Jordan will serve as leader of the short devotion on that morning. Miss Louise Kor- negay is chairman of the Break- fast Committee. Dr. Faulkner Leaves College Work Dr. William J. Faulkner.

Dr. Faulkner was Dean of Flsk University when he came to Sa- vannah State College. 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. James, proprietor of B. J. James' Confectionery, have pledged to place keys in their places of busi- ness to remind the students of the theme, "Religion, Key to Bet- ter Living."

V, 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.

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 Current News News Analysis Thomas R Evans '55 ON THE BRICKER AMEND- MENT. The Brlcker group, most of the Old Guard and the l.sola- tlonl.st wing of the Republican party. Is determined to curb th<- executive power.

Senator Brlcker say.s "the objective Is to prevent the United States from Joining any world government scheme." I predict If any treaty powers' amendment Is approved. Senator Brlcker will claim political credit, ON THE BIG FOUR FOREIGN CONFERENCE. I am forced to believe now that Russia Is bent on holding fast to her position In Europe even If at the cost of blocking agreement on Germany. At the same time, she is moving to divide the West by "peaceful overtures" that have varying measures of popular appeal for the Western democracies.

Following Instructions in the bulletin, the student should fill out his application immedi- ately and mail it in the special envelope provided. Applications must be postmarked no later than midnight. March 8. 1954. Early filing will be greatly to the student's advantage. Results will be reported to the student's Selective Service local board of jurisdiction for use in considering his deferment as a student, according to Education- al Testing Service, which pre- pares and administers the Col- lege Qualification Test. statement. Unless one knows the meanings of words and sen- tences that make up the written statement, he cannot understand the true thought of the state- ment. Concluding then, a person must know the meaning that eacli word bears upon the sen- tence, and the thought that each sentence bears upon the para- graph. He must find the rela- tionship between paragraphs. By effectively exercising great in- itiative, reading larger units of thought, such as the essays, short stories, newspapers and books, will become more informative, Reading for pleasure, neverthe- less, comes naturally. The read- er should forget about facts and information and should relax and try to become absorbed in the story. More exactly, the reader should forget about being critical when reading for pleasure. SOCIAL SCII.N( I. Mr. W. E. Griffin. 2Hi '( Dntemporary Georgia) listens to lecture (Locke photo) 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: Allen. If You Please. Boykin. This Way, Please. Esquire, Esquire Etiquette.

Ball was the one that topped them all. The Ball began rolling when the guys and gals of S.S.C. crowded the floor for the most gala affair since the "Western Hop." We danced to the music of the Ten- derly Band. Many were there with their sweethearts by their sides and in their hearts. During intermis- sion. Miss Ann Pierce, a fresh- man, was announced Miss Sweet- heart and was presented with a box of candy by the vice prexy of the Student Council. The Kappas, not overlooking their sweetheart. Miss Jeanette Pusha. presented her with a box of candy. Interpretations of songs in dance were done by Sarah How- ard, Muriel Hatton. and Thomas Johnson. Two charming young ladies, Patricia Wright and Jean Huff, tapped to the music of "Glow Worm." Organization Highlights Here's to Veterans The Veterans Club would like to take this opportunity to wel- come those veterans who are coming to S.S.C, for the first time. For your information, the veterans here are organized. We urge you to join our organization so that it might benefit by what- ever you may have to offer. Please notice the bulletin boards for notices of exactly when and where we meet and understand that you are cordially invited. Any veteran who has been dis- charged for any reason other than a dishonorable one is eli- gible for membership. What your counselor thinks of you is determined largely by whether or not you are a member of this, your own, organization. Have you given any serious thought to your N.S.L.T? Did you know that you can get $1,000,00 worth for only $.66 per month, or any multiple of $500,00 worth up to $10,000,00 at the same rate? Then you may pay it monthly, quarterly, semi-an- nually, or annually. After you have paid the premium for one year, you can borrow 94 of that and be compelled to repay only the small interest. However, you may repay the principal when- ever you wish. If you don't re- pay the principal, that much is deducted from the value of your policy. Most of all. you may se- cure a Form 9-886 from any V,A, office, mail it to the District Of- fice, thereby authorizing the V.A. to deduct your premiums from your monthly benefits. Isn't that worth some consideration? The Voice of the Y.M.C.A. . . . Cleveland Lawrence '57 The members of the Savannah State College Y,M.C.A, are striv- ing to make this year a success- ful one. Recently, they organ- ized a basketball team. This team will play against other "Y" teams both in and out of town. The "Y" debating team has been organized also. It will, from time to time, be debating some of the major questions that face our everyday living. The "Y" sent two delegates, Mr, Clarence Lofton, President, and Mr. Eugene Issac, Advisor, to the regional council held in Atlanta, Georgia, in February. This Christian organization is one which you may feel free to look in on at any time. Member- ship cards are available at all meetings for those desiring to become members.

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.

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"; Take good care of your clothes ^In the fashion world History will continue to repeat Itself, WHO IS IT ? ? That has been running J.

Keynotes to Success H 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 By DR.

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.

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!

For the past month she has been undergoing medical examina- tions at Hunter Field in order that she might qualify in every respect for health requirements. The Army offers the pay stipend of $125 a month -to dietetic in- terns while in training. However, upon completion of their work. interns are graduated with a commission of first lieutenants. Appointments to training hospi- tals are sent from Central Of- fice in Washington, D. C. Miss Baker has chosen Mi- c hael Reese Hospital, Chicago, jll,. at which to do her intern- i;hip.

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 play was presented on March 11, 1064. In connection with Religious Em- l)hasl.s Week and certainly en- 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.

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.

Georgia. She is a graduating senior in the division of Arts and Sciences with a major in Mathematics and a minor in General Science. Miss Jackson has made an enviable record here as a student leader. She is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and has been recording secretary for two years. She is also a member of Alpha Kappa Mu, Beta Kappa Chi Scientific Honor Society. Fu- ture Teachers of America, and the Tiger's Roar. Miss Jackson represented the college In various conferences. Among them are: The Fifteenth National Convention of Alpha Kappa Mu which was held at Ar- kansas AMAN College, Pine Bluff, Arkansas; the First Re- gional meeting of Region I. Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte, N. C, and the Second Regional meeting at Bennett College, Greensboro, N. C. "Lll's" phylosophy of life has facilitated her meeting people. She believes that one should live in the present and not wait for tomorrow. . . . "Live each day fidl and tomorrow and yesterday will automatically fall in line." Miss Jackson won the titles of "Miss Mathematics" 1951. Miss Delta 1953, and the Campus Community Club award of 1953. "Lil" said that Savannah State MISS LILLIE M. JACKSON had developed her personality through opportunities offered Its students in "public relations." She feels academic pursuits only touch part of the person, but conferences and "public rela- tions" afford a much broader base for development.
