The organization of llie chapter is
due largely lo the forpsight, interest,
and energetic efforts o' Dr. E. K. Wil-
liams, who explains Alpha Kappa Mu
is inlcrestcd in developing scholarsiiip
and is open to all Savannah Slate
students who mainUin the required
average. Praise is also due Mr, Ben
Ingersoll and his efficient staff who
checked the scholastic (juaJifications of
each candidate.

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

Mu, introduced the speaker for the
occasion. Mr. T. E. McKinney, dean

ment of honor societies on Negro col-
lege campuses and the effect of these
societies.

the department of fine arts, played

KNOWLEDGE 1 5 STRENGTH

During the past th
a number of other SSC students, what we believe to be
OpportUitity." 'We have been sharing what is known as the Student
Teacher experience. The practice of allowing prospective teachers
act as cadets in a real classroom situation for a reasonable length of
lime is probably one of the .nosl stimulating innovation,
teacher-training program.

We certainly don't feel so keenly the value or im],ortance of this
experience at first. We began with some misgivings and o.ixiely,
ond viewed this as another bothersome requirement subsequent to
graduation.

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

As told to Uie writer by an alumnus, one attended college for

the customary four years. During one quarter for one class period,
the cadet teacher spent the time observing a selected group of pupils.
For only one day of the entire period, each student spent a day in
complte charge of the class. There were no seminars,
periods, or field trips such as we have today.

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

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

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

The teaching profession is aniong man'l greatest services to man
and it is heartening to know that Savannah State College, in step with
leading institutions of higher learning in the nation, is providing a
teacher-training program which is outstanding.

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

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

A Tiger Rambles in the
Library

By Curlii P. Harris

While browsing around in the Library

le afternoon, I decided ihat I would

gather some bits of information that

might be of interest to the SSC family.

As i wandered around, I discovered
that a new set of tables had been aC'
quired, giving us more room in which
to study without disturbing othen
While examining the shelves, I came
acros*. a new collection of novels that
should provide interesting reading for
Us. Two ihat struck my eye were Frank
Vcrby's A Woman Called Fanc), and
Cardinal Spellman's The Foundling.

Miss Hawkins, College Librarian, has
moved into her new office and is ready
to lend assistance, as always, to those
who have difficulty in finding materials.
Five students have been assigned to the
Library staff. They are: James Camp-
bell, George Thomas, .\lfleta Ga-^kin,
Ha/el Collier, and Celestine Hamilti

A recent survey of the use of the
Library by students shows that more
of our students are making increasi
of this great educational tool.

Good Grooming
Aids Cadet
Teacher

By Carolyn M. Manigo

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

The following suggestions concerning
your responsibility to yourself are of-
fered to aid you in getting off lo a
good start. Your management of lime.
and your personal appearance play ini-
porlant role? in achieving success in
student teaching.

A prospective cadcl teacher might use
the following as a checklist for groom-
ing:

Is my clothing clean and well
pressed?

Is my clothing practical for the kinds
of activities in which I must, engage
with the pupils?

Is my clothing attractively harmoni-
ous in its color combinations?

Is my clothing suitable to ray per-
sonality modish, without conspicuous-
ly attracting attention to itself? /"

Do 1 wear comfortable, practical shoes
llial are regularly cleaned and polished
and in good repair?

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

Is my jewelry in such good taste thai
doe- nol draw undue allenlion to it-
self?

We are wishing every student suc-
:e-> in his practice teaching. We say,
"Go into your work with ihe best
hat you have in the end the best will
come back to you."

What Is Our Destiny?

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

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

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

The Bible speaks of man's reaping what he sows. To that,

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

An institution is only us great as its constituents. This needs
confirmation other than to say that men make institutions and we
have great potentialities with us. We ourselves must face and recognize
our destiny.

CreaHve Writing
Edition Fulfiiis
Dream

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

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

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

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

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

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

By diaries McDaniels
llie SSC Tigers split a double-head-
er with ibe Allen University Yellow
Jackets, January 18. The Yellow Jackets
took the first half, with a score of
43-37. The Tigers look the night-cap,
61-53.

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

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

Then Slocum broke loose, and scored
iwo straight buckets, giving Stale a
four-point lead. Allen never recovered
from that blow, as the game moved
ahead for the Tigers, Allen came
within two points of tying the score,
when Lawrence "Red" Shepard

Tigers Win Two
Straight From
SC State

By Archie M. Robinson
With a record of four straight losses
lianging over their head, the SSC
cagers ended iheir losing streak by de-
f'ating Coach Victor Kerr's South
* itrolinu Stale basketeers twice in two
lonscculivc games.

Detennination was evident in the
first of the games, played December
20, in Willcox Gymnasium, when
Charles McDaniels dropped in three
field goals. Tlial was the sparg that
lit the fire. From that point on, tlic
Tigers continued to lengthen their lead.
At the end of tlic first quarter, the
Tigers held a nine point lead.

The score at half lime and at tlic
rnd of the third (juarter was 30.20. in
favor of the Tigers. In the final quar-
iiT. [he Tigers stretched their lead
111 14 points, but due to the sharp
-booting of John McClain, the SC Bull-
dogs' lanky, 6-foot center, the lead
was narrowed down to 13 points. Final
-core. 51-38.

The second game, played in the Al-
fred E. Beach High School Gymnasium,
conclu<ted the two-game winnings for
the Tigers,

Josepli Tunier, SSC captain, started
the ball rolling by dropping in a basket
from the free throw line within the
first two minutes of the game.

Throughout the first quarter, it was
a battle, with the lead clianging hands
five times. In the last minute of the
first quarter, Maceo Taylor, SSC guard,
dropped in one to put the Tigers out
front, 15-14,

Moving steadily ahead, the Tigers
lengthened their lead to 11 points at
halflime. The tliird quarter ended
with a score of '14-31, with SSC out

front.

In tlie fourth quarter, the Bulldogs
proved that their growl could be just
as loud as that of a Tiger, and began
to bite at the Tiger's lead. John Mi
Clain racked up 11 points to narrow
SSC's lead to 7 points before the clock
ran out.

High-point man for the Bulldogs
John McClaian with 14 points in the

first game. Thomas Shule poured in
13 in the second game.

For the Tigers, Charles McDaniels
came out on lop in both games, with
a total of 25 for both, C. P. Harris
came second in the first game, while
Maceo Taylor was runner-up in the
second.

Clyde: "Dearest, I must marry you."
Pat Meeks: "Have you seen Father and

Mother?"
Clyde: "Often, darling, but I love you

just the same."

Ten Cagers End
Varsity Career

With the close of the 19.S1-52 bas-
ketball season, ten players liung up
their uniforms for tlie last time in their
varsity careers. Graduation will write
fiimh to the varsity careers of the fob
lowing seniors:

Maceo Taylor, 11, Center, Chicago.
Charles McDaniels, Forward, Chicago.
Curtis P. Harris, Guard, Columbus.
Joseph Tunier, Guard, New Orleans.
Alvin Paige, Guard, Jacksonville.
Philip G, Wilt/, Guard. New Orleans.
Margie Mercer. Guard, Collins.
Bessie Williams, Guard. Marietta.
Annie Ruth Howard, Forward. Ocilla.

Robert "Nancy Hanks" Slocum, al-
though kept out of full season play be-
cause of an appendectomy, is also to
be congratulated for his most efficient
basketball performance. Slocum. All-
American grid star, participated in bas-
ketball for the first time during his
college career, this season.

The above seniors have fought val-
iantly for the orange and blue. It is
hoped that tlieir cage performances will
be inspirations for teams to come.

Basketball In Review

In tlieir trek toward the capture of
the SEAC championship crown, the
Tigers and Tigeretles had to encounter
many formidable cage foes before the
final victory.

The keen competition that enhanced
their achievements may be gleaned
from the Scoreboard on this page. A
brief review of several thrilling games
follows.

The SSC Tigers downed tlie Allen
University quintet, 52-48, January 24.
The Tigeretles fell to the Allen five
to tlie tune of 52-31. In trying to stem
the Allen tide, Martha Rawls and
Eleanor Wright dropped in 18 points,
while Louise Rawls and Dorothy Al-
fred poured in 22 and 11 points, re-
spectively, for the winners.

Al Jaot^nn"''. IJ- r'>inta and C. P.
Harris' 12 stood out for the SSC boys
in their defeat of Allen. Kenneth
Jackson's 26 points and Robert Hud-
ncU's 10 points paced the losers,

The Tigers' 47-45 victory over the
Florida Normal cagers came after a
Florida player missed two foul shots
after the regulation time had expired.
The Florido Normal girls lost to the
Tigeretles in the opener, 47-34.

C. P. Harris led the 7'igers to vic-
tory by bucketing 10 points during the
cage clash with Paine, January 28.

Taylor, and Laurence Shepard were
not far behind with 7 points each.

There Is Nothing Like
Teaching

By Christine Cheryl Wright
There is nothing more amusing
Than to walch dear children grow.
There is nothing so encouraging,
And you want lo leach them more.
There i' nothing in the world like
Iraehing.

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

True, there is nothing quite like

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

like teaching.

"Do you know who was the first engi-
neer?"

"No, who?"

Miss Camilla Williams, leading
soprano of the New York City
Opera for five years, a concert
singer who 1ms captivated two con-
tinents from Venezuela to northern
Alaska, a soloist with orchestra
whose "beautiful singing" has
been publicly praised by Stokowski,
will be presented in Concert at Sa-
vannah State College.

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

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

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

Tradition was broken and news
made the night of May 16, 1946,
when kimono-clad Camillia Wil-
liams fluttered out and created a
new Cio-Cio-San. In the audience
the most famous Butterfly of her
time, Geraldine Farrar, who led the
capacity house in the applause,
stated: "She already is one of the
great Butterflys of our day." She
soon became "the most talked of
postwar Cio-Cio-San," reported
TIME MAGAZINE.

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

Opera triumphs behind her, Ca-
milla Williams started on her first
concert tour of more than forty en-
gagements, including a coveted ap-

ganized into committees at the be-

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

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

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

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

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

came from schools throughout the
state. They were. Mr. J. B. Ever-
ett, principal of Woods Chapel
School, Lowndes, County; Mr- J. A.
Aidridge, Tenth Street School,
West Point, Georgia; Mr. Gabriel

The workshop officers were as
follows:

Assistant Secretary, Mrs. R. G.
Zealy; and Treasurer, Mr. Richard
Wilson.

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

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

On June 20 Mr. Theodore Wright
spoke to us on Physical Education
and health. He stressed healtli
and physical education as a pai'
of education for the youth. He oui
lined three factors of physical eiiu-
cation: (1) Power to act which we
call strength and endurance; (2)
Skill to act flexibility, timing,
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
stated 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.

Receives Tremendous
Ovation

By JOHN A. ALDRIDGE

In a splendid concert, Todd Dun-
can, internationally famous bari-
tone, sang to a large, appreciative
audience in Meldrim Hall Audito-
rium, Monday evening, June 30,
1S).52. at 8:30 p. m.

The brilliant artist magnificently
displayed the talents of a truly
great performer in the areas of
tone quality, richness, interpreta-
tion and coordination, qualities that
could only be manifest by a true
artist. All of this despite singing
under the pressure of i)0 degree
heat.

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

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

Discussed in Social
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 Wrig-ht,
Athens, Georgia; Mrs. Lula "E.
Walker, Douglas, Georgia; Mrs.
Hattie Anderson, Riceboro, Geor-
gia; and Mrs. Veronica S, Wash-
ington, Savannah, Georgia.
Group 11
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
Shareeropping Mr. Rudy Bol-
den. Chairman, Savannah, Georgia;
Mr. Wayne Hawes, Lincolnton,
Georgia; Mrs, Martha Edwards,
Darien, Georgia; Mrs. Lurene B.
Dowdy, Hull, Georgia; and Miss

man, Georgia; and Mrs. Sadie T.
Hall, Darien, Georgia.

Study of Art
Brings Appreciation

Reveals Historical Facts

By
MRS. GERTRUDE D. THOMAS

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

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

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

Arts and Crafts

By MRS. MELBA McLENDON

The first summer session Arts

Educational Value of Cultural Activities

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

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

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

Incidentally, we pay for these activities, and according to reports
Mr. Duncan received in the neighborhood of one-thousand dollars for
his performance. ,

Only a small number of students were present at this concert.
This IS t.vpical or cultural programs in general. These are things
students pay for and certainly help to broaden a student's cultural
knowledge and experience. One should be more interested and apprecia-
tive of the fine things of life. He should also look for things of a higher
nature, for one of the main functions of education is to cultivate with-
in one an appreciation for those things which require some time and
effort to cultivate.

auditorium have been filled to its capacity? Very likely it would have

For this issue our roving reporter
asked the question "Do You Think
Men Should Give Women Their
Seats On The Bus?" The Answers

given below. What Do You
Think?

By ALTA VAUGHN

1. No. They are puffing and
smoking just like men. Let them
stand. E.C.B.

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

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

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

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

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

7. Whether a man is to stand and
let a lady sit should depend on age.
If the man is older, let him have
the seat. However, if he is young-
er, I should expect him to get up.
When I say old, I mean past '?0
L.L.B.

8. When an old man gets on the
bus, a young lady should give him
her seat and if an old lady gets on
the bus, a young man should
her the seat.

What Savannah State It's Wise To Be Smart
Stands For ^y mrs. gertrude d. thomas

Luck, 'easy 'money, and a good
time were the notes to which the
younger generation of the "For-
ties" danced. Why work hard to be
a good student when everyone
knows that the world's prizes goes
to the popular persons, the good
mixer, the boy witK 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
is the one who makes the grade.
Today, education is a necessity to
travel through the lanes of life; to
understand one's neighbor, what he
thinks, what he feels and what he
does; to understand one's self!

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

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 ball, and housed in my dor-
mitories. They have annoyed ray
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
ey^s. Many students will carry the
spirit of Savannah State wherever
they go; they will help to carry
on the glory, democracy, and lead-
ership in a democratic school.

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

Savannah State,

Now we are leaving but its only
in form, and not in thought. At

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, I
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.

IF I HAD MY WAY

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

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Chatham County
Superintendent
Addresses Wednesday
Assembly

stresses Practicality

in the Classroom

William A. Early, newly ap-
pointed Superintendent of Schools
in Cliatham 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 for democrcay
in action,

"We in America have been f&r-
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
cliques and machines. We in the
classrooms are the worst defenders
of democracy. We preach democ-
racy and practice autocracy."

He said that one must be humble
to be a good teacher, that pride
never made a good teacher. Thi
public schools have shut their doors
to the people who oii-n them, he
stated. Teachers have developed
superior air. "Show me," he de-
clared, "a superior-acting person
and I will show you one who is
close to being an imbecile."
. Furthermore, he declared, the
people own the public schools and
any day they withdraw their chil-
dren the doors will have to be
closed.

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

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

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

Teachers Return
For Educational

Development

More Teachers Studying
During Summer Months

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

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
hose service the teachers are en-
listed. It is for these young people
that society has created the schools,
in the interest of its own preserva-
tion and improvement.

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

We can fully realize how the en-
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,
only can they become teachers who
are superbly fitted for theiy im-
portant task; who know how to co-
operate with others; who under-
stand how children grow and de-
velop; who know how to guide
learning; and wTio are continually
increasing their stature as persons,
citizens, and professional workers.

Let it be remembered that the
role of the teacher will continue
to be that of a guide, leading those
whom he teaches toward the ob-
jective of education in a demo-
cracy.

effective in helping citizens in

and means of solving community
problems in home beautification.
as well as aiding citizens in devel-
oping appreciation for civic and so-
cial benefits in a well-ordered com-
munity.

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

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

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

Open House Held

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

Many Consultants Used'

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

of Georgia, Athens; Edward G.^
Harmond, Extension specialist in
rural housing, Negro County Agent
for Chatham County, and Charles
Philsen, electrical specialist of
Jacksonville, Florida.

Faculty consultants were Mrs.
Joan Gordon, Associate Professor
of Social Sciences, who discussed
"Social Aspects of Housing"; Eu-
gene Isaac, woodworking Specialist,
Instructor in Carpentry; iVTrs. Mar-

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

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

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

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

SUIVIMER THEATRE PRESENTS

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

The play was the first presented
by the 19B2 Summer Theater
Group. John Watkins, a junior
from Greenville, S. C, played the
lead role, and Miss Jolene Belin, a
senior from Bainbridge, Georgia,
and Miss Jewell Grant af Savan-
nah, regularly enrolled at Howard
University, Washington, D. C,
co-starred in the lead female roles.

joring in English from Atlanta, in-
troduced the play.

The Anonymous Letter

A Short Story

By Emma C. Bryant
English 412, Creative Writing Jwly
21, 1952. Mrs. E. J. Campbell,

Instructor

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

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

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

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

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

After four years of co it' nurd
study Jay graduated from Mehaiiy
Medical College. He went to At-
lanta and took the state mfdioal
exarnination. He left there and
went to Tallahassee to take i he
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 t.fter a
year of practice we wouM be
married. Letters were frecpuent
now, but it was really a year be-
fore I saw him. He oame to visit me
and meet my parents. Aft-;r a
day's visit he left with my parents
consent for us to be marri'id.

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

My mother began to make plans
for a church wedding. School
opened but I was free lo rclp
with my own plans. However fate
lintervened end I went to the
county to substitue for a teacher
who was ill.

The school building was on the
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
I mentally termed this usmal le*ier
cam&. For a few minutes I buried
my head in my arms on the desk.
I was not crying 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 go home. I
walked toward by boarding place
and asked the nearest patron to
let his boy drive me to town. In
a few minutes I had changed my
suit, picked up a hat and a bag,
and I was on my way with only a
few dimes over my fare.

Upon reaching town I went first
to a telephone booth and called
Jay. In a few seconds the ope-
rator said that he was out but was
expected within an hour. T failed
the station and checked the tmin
schedule. I found the train was due
to leave in thirty mintes. 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 towm and told him
that I had to go home.

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

(Continnpi)

age 7)

At times I find
tone

Tis then I sit and grieve my lost
father

Whose tasks sent him in any kind
of weather,

To help a fallen soul who felt alone

To strive again. Your load cannot
be bourne

By any other; but men must work
together

For God commands to love ye one
another;

To meet, to live, forever near His
throne.

No guide to steed my course for
better life

I gain my strength from His ideals
of grace.

And keep my soul steadfast in love
divine.

I cannot keep the pace of commrr-
cial strife

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

And hear His welcome voice,
child of mine.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

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

One hundred and twenty-five
graduates and their friends and
relatives heard Bishop Bertram
Wilbur Doyle, A.B., M.A., Ph.D.,
D.D., presiding bishop. Seventh
Episcopal Disti-ict, 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 things which had con-
cerned him for many years was the
disillusionment that comes to so-
cial groups when, after placing
their hopes for salvation in a pan-
acea that has been recommended,
they either attain the salvation,
and find it not what they either
hoped or wished; or they do not
attain it at all, and find them-
selves not only disillusioned, but
also frustrated. Such, he said, was
the case when following the Eman-
cipation Proclamation, freedmen
were promised "forty acres and a
mule," as the one solution to all of
their problems.

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

Bringing his address to a close.
Bishop Doyle asked the class to
stand. "This," he said, "is my
charge to you. No one thing ac-
complished in the environment can
effect adjustment for a given hu-
man being, or for a given human
group, unless it be articulated,
even fortified by a change in at-
titude. And the change in atti-
tude must come from within. Our
progress must not be based upon
any particularistic fallacy, but
upon a conception that many fac-
tors enter into human develop-
ment, not the least of which is ca-
pacity and ability. Forty acres of
the best land, and a genuine Mis-
souri mule will not accomplish
much for a man who is unwilling,
or undecided, or unable to plow his
land. And then again, forty
acres of the poorest land, with a
scrubby mule cannot be made
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, nov must you conceive that
when, and if, that milleniunj 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 be character."

FACULTY PROFILE

DR. BOOKER T. GRIFFITH

For this issue the Tiger's Roar
salutes Dr, Booker T. Griffith for
his outstanding research in the
area of cytology, and for his work
with reference to allergy-produc-
ing fungi in the Savannah area.

The appearance of Dr, Griffith's
biography in the Internationul Blue
Book marks a crowning point in
the career of this eminent re-
searcher and teacher. Only those
individuals who have done work in
their fields which attract interna-
tional attention are included in this
International Who's Who.

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

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

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

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

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

He is active in civic affairs in
the city of Savannah, and enjoys
teaching a class in Sunday School
on the campus each Sunday.

your train is waiting." He helped
me to the train. I thanked him.

. Only thirty minutes now. My
vanity came to my rescue and I
spent the entire time "primping
)Up."

When I stepped off the train,
I bad 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?"

By MISS SARAH E. BUTLER

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

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

In addition to standard reading
materials, micro-films files of the
New York Times. London Times,
and Savannah Morning News are
now available for patrons.

The total number of hooks in the
library including bound volumes of
periodicals la 18,678. "This brings
up the library to meet the mini-
mum standard of the Southern As-
sociation," said Miss Hawkins.
"The library also receives 198 cur-
rent periodicals and eighteen news-
papers,"

Miss Hawkins reports that al-
though enrollment decreased
slightly during the l^st .3 years, the
total circulation of books this year
was gi-eater than for either of the
two previous years. The number
used by faculty members, 1136 and
the number used by students was
an average of 44 per student. To-
tal circulation of books was 44,668.
Of this number reserved books ac-
counted for 30,977, and 7 day books
13,691.

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

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

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

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

"Yes,"

"Where are you from?"

"Nashville," I lied,

"Is the Doctor out of town?"

"No just around the corner."

"Busy?"

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

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

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

"When did you leave?" he asked.

Last night. Why?"

"I was expecting you."

"Expecting me?"

"Yes," and again I was in his
arms.

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

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

"I'm sorry," Jay said.

"Sorry?"

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

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS
The New Schools In Georgia

For almost two decades educators in the State of Georffia have been
working on a program for the improvement of schools. To many
teachers this concept of better schools meant many different things.
The point where the schools are today reveals an intricate and inter-
esting prd.cess. As these improvements have taken place many teachers
and laymen have thought of the schools in their old frame of reference.
However, the number of changes taking place in rapid procession ai*e
forcing the development of new concepts.

Tliree pai-tlcular areas of change
contributing largely to the [Jevelop-
ment of these new concepts of
education are salaries, extended
school terms, and the building pro-
gram. When salaries for teachers
were raised in accordance with pro-
visions of the Minimum Founda-
tion Program, many people saw the
schools in a new light. When the
school term was lengthened to the
standard minimum and the post-
week and the pre-planning week
were added, many teachers and
laymen did not understand what
was happening. They often con-
sidered these as make-work activi-
ties to justify the increased pay.
By the time the program reached
the stage of constructing new
school buildings, the points of view
began taking on new significance
and meaning. Probably for the first
time, many people realized that
the new era In public education was
well on its way.

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

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

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

pearance as soloist with the Chi-
cago' SjTTiphony Orchestra. She
sang music of Mozart and the great
Casta Diva aria from Bellini's
"Norma." In the concert 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
the streets. Last night's audience
at Orchestra Hall fell little short
of that in their extravagant greet-
ing of the young Negro soprano in
her Chicago debut."

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

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

THE ANONYMOUS LETTER

(Continued from Page 7)

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

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

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

"Go on."

"Then I knew if you had written
this letter yonj 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. T was
out, and when Joe answered the
telephone the operator told him
Eastman, calling Dr. Jay. Does
that satisfy you?"

"Yes."

"Any more questions?"
"Yes, let's compare these letters.
"Okay."

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

This is just to tell you that I
cannot marry ypxi 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,

Althoiugh you asked me not to
\vi-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 wi'ite
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 yom 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-

"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

night."

"Why tomorrow night?"

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

Students' Thinking in Class
Studied By Chicago Professor

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

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

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

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

about themselves than about what was
going on in ola'^s.

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

Tips for instructors also come from
the study. One suggests that the wise-
crack or the telling phrase attracts too
much attention itself, distracts the
student from the remainder of the
lecture. Five minutes after such a
phrase, students would still be thinking
about it, instead of what the professor
was trying to say. The instructor re-
garded as antagonistic by the students,
the one who disciplines the class into
line, gels more attention from the
students than do the ideas he presents.
They spend more time thinking about
him. less about what he says.

ler." The preceding year she played

age of four, shown great talent in play-
ing the piano. Because of her talent
at this tender age, she was dubbed a
child prodigy. Miss Gartrell has given
several piano concerts over local radio

Garlrell's piano performances is that
she plays by ear.

ambition was to become a missionary,

school English teacher that she changed
her plans.

University
Chaplain Speaks
At Vespers

The Reverend Robert A. Ayers, chap-
lain of the University of Georgia, spoke
on the topic, "Life Is What You Make
It," during vesper services held in
Meldrim Auditorium, October 26.

Reverend Ayers said that there are
three things man can do with life:
"One, run from il. In that way you
will never reach your goal. Two, run
with it; and surely you will he defeat-
ed. Three, run, and be the master of
it this alone is success."

The chaplain ended his speech with
this thought: "Jesus said, 'Whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake shall
find it'."

The audience participated in an in-
terpretative service, "Faith of Our Fa-
thers." The College Choir, directed

the pursuit of hoppiness. Americans ore grateful for he supreme law
of the land which guorontees freedom of speech, of the press, and of
religion To God we give thanks for being abit to pursue the ob-
iectives of our choice without political domination^

Thanksgiving Day is one on which we should abandon our da^y
routine and dedicate some time to reminiscence. B, engaging in the
process of remembrance, we relive our past. Those vivid moments ot
the post ogoin become real to us. Not until then do we realize how
numerous our blessings hove been, and the many reasons for which
we should thank God. Of course, there will be moments of despair,
OS well OS moments of pleasure. But we should pause and ask our-
selves the question: What is life except o series of "iisfortunes and
triumphs? It is a combination of the two which mokes life challenging
ond worth living, ij c j

Aher having considered the essence of life, we should find a
greater cause for which to give thonks to God.

The Church: A Living Influence

Ijy Rose E. Garlrcll Viinii
The mo^t iiiipiirlnnl tuiiclion of lite church is to provide a place
for worship. Tiiri.ugh worship. pci.|ile are hrought closer to God.
~ ' - ' "'; are aids lo worship. A

ihoughls and enlolions of

Cliurch music, readings, prayers, and servi
good sermon, well expressed, will direct Ih
the congregation toward belter things of life.

The church inspires people In du right ami avoid wrong. 11 urges
people lo live according lo the highesl ideals of conducl. To develop
in every person a righteous character is one ot the most iniporlatil aims
ot the church. The church emphasizes the higher, nobler, and purer
things of lite. "People are like clocks." they need to be wound up lo
keep true lo the heller things ot life.

When limes arc very trying, cliurch allendance helps us lo
strengthen our ideals. In limes of trouble the teachings ot the church
give us tailb and courage lo carry on in spile ot our ditticullies. Even
tliougb all people arc not niembers of the church, and do not attend
its services, all arc influenced indirectly by ihe church.

The church's constant emphasis on ideals ot honesty, fair play,
kindness, helpfulness, and justice is sure lo have an ettect on the lite
ot the entire coimminity and the nation.

of interesting facts.

According to this catalogue, no scholarships were offered that
year. The faculty desired to secure S32.00 per student, "from philan-
thropic persons." for those deserving students who could not meet their
financial obligations.

Compare litis with ihe Scholarship Drive that is being sponsored
this year by the Savannah Sltite Alumni Association, and with the fact
that our present catalogue has the jolhiving regarding scholarships:
"A limited number oj special scholarships are available lo selected
students who meet the required standards of scholastic merit, high
character, general promise, and superior achievement in certain specific
areas of the College program."

In 1907. eacli (Georgia) Sa\'ainiah State College student was
required to buy a uniform within fifteen days after he entered school.

The old catalogue also set forth regulations prohibiting card playing
and the use of tobacco.

Being on the level has helped many a man to win an uphill fight.

Do you think chapel allendance
should he compulsoryy

"Ihe cultural development of
an individual depends on his in-
tellicl. interest, and attitude. Since
some students are not exposed to
certain cultural things at home,
they will not attempt lo develop
ihis aspect of their education un-
less ihey are encouraged to do so.
or sometimes forced to do so.
Therefore. I think that chapel at-
tendance should be coin|)ulsory.""
Elizabeth Haynes
"Chapel attendance should not
b? compulsory. 1 don't think men
and women in college should be
compelled to do anything, for when
a person is old enough to come
to college he is usually old enougli
lo decide, with a bit of guidance,
ivhat he should do or what he
should attend. If chapel pro-
grams are made interesting and
inspiring, the student will go
without being compelled."

Agnes Bess
"1 don't think chapel should be
compulsory for the mere fact that
we. as college students, should be
self-reliilnt. diligent, and trust-
worthy, if we have these charac-
teristics we should not be com-
pelled to do anything, but we will
do only those things which arc
intelligent."

Ellen Manning
"Heiiig a college student I think
it is uimecessary to compel one
lo attend chapel. I think any col-
lege student would want to keep
up with the daily changes or the
activities which are carried on in
the college. By attending chapel
without being compelled, one gets
more out of chapel programs than
if he were compelled to attend.
If programs are interesting, it
would be unnecessary to compel
students to go to chapel."

Henry Praylo
Yes, the majority of the students
would not be present if chapel
were not compulsory.

Miriam Bacote
The chapel programs should be
so well planned so as to hold the
interest of the students. Then
they would not have to be com-
pulsory. Whether students should
attend chapel is left up to the stu-
dents. After all. college is sup-
posed to be an adult institution,
where men and women make their
own discussions. Rose M. Vann
Chapel attendance should be
compulsory in order for students
to obtain a wider scope of ideas
and values. James T. Gibbons
Yes, I think attendance regula-
tions relative to chapel programs
should remain as they are. They
have |)roved to be effective for
many reasons which have been
explained. John Walkins

1 do not think that chapel at-
tendance should be compulsory.
The programs should he so chal-
lenging that students will go on
their own free will and enjoy them
so much they'll go every week.

Books in Review

liy Martha L. Edwards

Stranger and Alone. J. Saunders
Redding. Harcourt. Brace and
Company, New York. 1950.

The novel, .S.'rangtT and Alone.
is based on the life of Shellon
Howden. a Negro who is malad-
justed, frustrated, and emotionally
upsel. Howden suffers from a
complex which causes him to feel
isolated, and which causes other
students at his college to misunder-
stand and dislike him. For a long
time intensely anti-racial, Howden
carries a chip on his shoulder
until he meets Valerie Tillet, who
helps him to adjust to the other
students and to his college environ-
ment.

The author has uniquely exem-
ulified how an individual mav nor-
mally adjust himself to society
through understanding. The story
also jjoints out the fact that some
people tend to live in the "night-
mare of race."

Virrhrv J?//

Cool shadows creep . . .

The sun sinks behind the hills ...

The noises of dav fade into the shadows . . .

And. like a thin fog. twilight

Silently closes in. . . .

Twilight at autumn. . . . Time hangs suspended on the brink of that
dim chasm which separates day and night. ... A flock of birds dij
their wings in salute to the fast dying sun and are swallowed up bv thje_
abyss. . . . The rich golden colors of autumn lose their brilliauL ,. j '
the shado\vs embrace them. ... I fill my lungs with pine-scented
air. ... I walk. . . . The soft carpet of grass that floors the valley
makes a swooshing sound as it gives under the weight of my steps. . . .

Twilight deepens ... a nightingale whistles a love lay. ... In
a moment the woods are deathly still. . . . The silence is almost audible,
and then it is broken by the trilling song of the answering mate, . . .
Through the trees, square patches of golden light peer unblinkingly at
me like so many eyes. . . .

Two small children and a dog leap agilely across the path, following
a little road that leads to a small house off to the right. . . . Shuffling
behind them at about fifty paces is an old man whose steps are very
slow and uncertain. . . . His back is a curving arch, and he walks as if
a great weight is tied around his neck. ... He takes a hook-shaped
pipe from his mouth and blows a great cloud of smoke into the air, and
with a "Howdy, young fellow." passes on. ... He reaches the yard,
opens a sagging gate and enters. ... As I watch him begin to mount
the steps. I think of a song that begins. "All things come home at
eventide." . . . High u)) in a tree the last of a flock of birds settles in
its nest. . . . The door bangs shut behind the o'd man. . . .

I walk on until I reach a narrow stream upon whose banks I sit
down with my back against a tree. . . . The shadows are very deep

... I compose a lay to the dusk. . . .

"How beautiful is the dusk. ... Its blue-gray shadows so thin . . .
and yet so deep. ... its breezes so cool and yet so soft. ... Its stars
so pale, and yet so bright. . . . How beautiful, how glorious is the dusk,"

From an open window not far away, the enchanting melody of
Debussey's "Claire de Lune" drifts like smoke through the thick woods,

How To Graduate
The Plagiary Way

(AGP) Princeton University admin-
istrators discovered last week that two
members of the 1952 graduating class
forged their senior theses in "one of
the most flagrant examples of plagiar-
ism" ever attempted ut Princeton.

Both men, members of the English
and Modern Languages department,
were found to have submitted almost
exact copies of master's theses stolen
from the Columbia University library
last winter . When faced with the evi-
dence, both admitted the work was not
their own. but denied outside help or
having paid for the theses.

No disciplinary measures have been
announced. Two years ago there were
numerous reports of New York agents
receiving up to S70CI for the forging
of theses for Princeton seniors.

A PROGRAM FOR ACTION

By Johnny Paul Jones

Athletic Director Theodore A- Wright and Head Coacli John
Martis form a team of hard-working, untiring workers who love
athletics and live with the coinpelilion it fosters. The Savannah State
Athletic department tries to develop real men and women who will
contribute to the welfare of the race, tlie nation, and the world.

The student athletes are taught the fundamentals of football,
basketball, and track. The athletic staff expects these young men and
women to use these fundamentals in later life as they go out into the
world to become useful citizens.

The SSC Alumni Association has an obligation to these young men
and women who give of their time and efforts to bring glory and
honor to our Alma Maler.

Graduation and the Korean conflict have taken their toll of the
athletic program at State. The Alumni Association needs to do some
spade work among the boys and girls in high schools in every city
where there are Savannah State graduates.

The Association could sponsor Scholarship aid programs for
deserving athletes and musicians. I A good hand is conducive to a
good athletic program.)

This would give SSC the comeback in band and athletic standing
that its sup|)orters dream about.

The Gl Bill:
No Free Rides

(ACPI The new CI bill is tougher
ilian the old one. .'\ veteran now must
declare his major as soon as he enters
school, and he's entitled to just one
change during his college career.

And the change is not easy to gel.
Tlie vet has to show he is not guilty
of misconduct, neglect or lack of appli-
cation. Then he must take a battery
of tests. If he gets through unscathed,
he can change his major.

Here are the main points in the new
bill: The veteran will be paid a lump
sum each month. Out of this sum
he must pay tuition and all other
expenses. Tuition payments generally
run about one-third of his total allot-
ment.

It's up to the campus vel's instruc-
tors to turn in monthly progress reports
to the Veterans Administration. Serious
trouble can result if ihese reports arc
delayed or if they are not turned in by
tlie instructors.

Studentship:
10 Easy Gambits

Al.lM -Here are -'lO Way>. to Gel
Through College Without Even Try-
ingfi" as written in Pageant magazine
by Prof. Robert Tyson of Hunter
College:

1. Bring the professor newspaper
clippings dealing with his subject. If
you don't find clippings dealing willi
his subject, bring clippings at random.
He thinks everything deals with his
subject.

2. Look alert. Take notes eagerly.
If you look at your walcb, don't stare
at it unbelievingly and shake it.

3. Nod frequently and murmur "How
true!" To you, this seems exagger-
ated. To him, it's (juile objective.

4. Sit in front, near him. (Applies
only if you intend to stay awake). . . .

5. Laugh at his jokes You can
teli. If he looks up from his notes
and smiles expectantly, he has told a
joke.

6. Ask for outside reading. You
ilon't have to read it. Just ask.

7. H you must sleep, arrange lo be
called at the end of the hour. It cre-
ates an unfavorable impression if the
rest of the class has left and you sit
there alone, dozing.

8. Be sure the book you read during
the lecture looks like a book from the
course. If you do math in psychology
class and psychology in math cla-ts,
match the books for size and color.

9. Ask any questions you think he
can answer. Conversely, avoid announc-
ing that you have found the answer to
a question he couldn't answer, and in
your younger brother's second reader
at tliat,

10. Call attention to his writing.
Produces an excjuisitely pleasant ex-
perience connected with you. If you
know he's written a book or an article,
ask in class if he wrote it.

Pork Seminor
Course Tries
Experiment

Parkville. Mo. ( IP) A seminar
course for seniors in the Social Sci-
ences division at Park College this
year features the interchange of de-
partmental methods and techniques.
This experimentation in General Edu-
cation is expected to result in the
construction of a common terminology
as well as a broader understanding of
ihr contributions of the several disci-
plines to problem solving in life areas
of mutual concern.

Students have urged such a course
almost from the time the divisional
major was inaugurated in December.
1948. The course for the new academic
year will consist of fourteen topics of
division-wide concern which were chosen
by the entire staff. Most departments
are vested with the primary responsi-
bility for the presentation of two topics
and share secondary responsibility for
others. Students will actively partici-
pate in the bi-monthly sessions.

The following topics will be dealt
with in tbe order named: Facts. Gen-
eralizations. Hypothoses; Influence of
Folkways and Mores in the Determi-
nation of a Culture Pattern; Effects of
the Industrial Revolution; Puritanism,
Pragmatism and Liberal Christianity:
Democracy; Liberal Arts vs. General
Education; Measurement in the Social
Sciences; Indices of Social Organiza-
tion ; Population Problems; Laissez
faire versus the Welfare State, and
Business Cycles.

Junior Press
Takes Over
In New Show

Screening TV

By Merrill FanitI
Ever)' so often not too ollen
someone in Philadelphia gets a good
idea tor a TV program and manages
to carry it off. Ruth Geri Hagy's
junior Press Conference (Sundays,
11:30 A. M., Channel ) is such an
idea.

To be uUerly frank (and there's no
sense in being frank without being utter
about it) ihe show is a direct lakeolf
on Meet the Press. Miss Hagy is a
sliehtly more personable on TV al
least Martha Roundlree. Her guests
are national figures willing to be put
on the spot. The swilcli is that Junior
Press Conference's questioners are col-
lege newspaper reporters instead of
their more experienced and blase col-
leagues from the metropolitan dailies.
A Healthy Thing

The "yoot" of America, heretofore
the personal property of John (Ox)
DaGrosa. ihus are given an opportunity
lo conduct an inquisition in their own
articulate, if somewhat rambunctious
fashion. Il makes for good television,
asideaside from the fact that it's a
darned healthy thing for all of us.

Occasionally we have seen Theo-
dore Granik and his Youth Wants lo
Know program in Philadelphia. Granik
fills a studio with 50 high school boys
and girls and leti ihera lire questions
al such intercsling people as Governor
Dewey and Rudolph Halley. Unfortu-
nately, because of the large number
of quizzers. the questions have to be
prel>T well set in advance and there's
little time to develop a subject ade-
quately.
A Free-For-All

Junior Press Conference, by using the
Meet the Press format, is more of a
free-for-all. And since the questioners
are college rather than high school
students, they are equipped with more
background and, if possible, more ten-
acity. Last Sunday's junior Lawrence
Spivaks included lads from Penn and
North Carolina, and girls from North-
western and Beaver, Their victims
were Senator and Mrs. Estcs Kefauver.
Their subject was "Corruption" as
it relate? to the current political cam-
paign, but the Senator found himself
talking al>out such matters as Senator
Sparkman's voting record on civil rights
measures. Governor .Stevenson's accept-
ance of support from Jake Arvey and
Pretiident Truman, Dwight D, Eiaen-

Not that the corruption issue was
forgotten. Indeed the questioners
found liiemselves answering one an-
other al one point and llie Senator
and his prelly wife were all but neg-
lected in ihe hot interchange between
the gentleman from Norlh Carolina and
the very determined young lady from
Beaver College.

Miss Hagy, if I may venture a small
criticism, talks too much but not often
enough. Her introductions could be
shorter, and her infrequent interrup-
tions to get the show back on subject
should he condensed inlo fewer words.
It might he a good idea to have a little
more discipline on the program, too
wilh the questioners looking to ber for
recognition instead of speaking directly
to the guest.

Near Anonymity

Tlic students operated lasl Sunday
in near anonymity, the audience catch-
ing their names at the oulset, but
having no other means of identifidng
ihem other than their little desk signs
which carried the names of their col-
leges. At one point Senator Kefauver
himself addressed Nell Gayley of Beaver
College as "Miss Beaver." ^

TV audiences have a wide choice
of discussion programs in which ex-
perts take basic aspects of politics for
granted and spend most of their time
on fine points. It's refreshing to hear
a question like, "But what can I do
myself, as an individual, about corrup-
I ion in Government ?" as we heard
Sun<lay from Patricia McGuire of
Northwestern University.

IJy Mart:arr.t B. Wdl/,

Johnnie Mae Cruise, of Screven
County, ihe daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Earnest Cruise, was born on May 23,
1933. There are eight children in her
family. Iwo hoys and sia girls.

Johnnie Mae altcnded Harris, a pub-
lic school, for two years, afler which
-he became totally blind. For nine
\'ars she attended the Georgia Acad-
emy for the Blind, in Macon.

"Miss Josephine Johnson, a teacher
at the Academy, was my favorite teach-
er, for she helped me adjust lo the
niw situation," said Johnnie Mae.

Mrs. Ed Fisher, a summer student.
influenced Johnnie Mae in selecting
Savannah State College. "I came here
because I like secretarial work. How-
ever, I am more interested in music."
ihe personable coed added.

When asked about her adjustment
lo college life. Johnnie Mae said, "The
classes are fine and I do not find them
loo difficult because I memorize well,
in tact I depend on my memory for
everything."

Miss Cruise, whose hobbies include
collecting classical records, stated lliat
Iwo of her most interesting experiences
were playing for the Lounge Club in
Macon, and traveling alone to visit her
aunt who lives in Miami.

"The students at Savannah State are
wonderful," asserled Miss Cruise. She
interprets the campus as a circle, with
many beautiful trees, laden with moss,
with a beautiful lawn, and fine
buildings.

Johnnie Mae's plans for the future
include a job. traveling, and marriage.

Miss Cruise stated that she has no
regrets because of her handicap. She
said that her other senses are very
acute, and that she can feel beauty in
what some might call ugly; she can
smell the sweetness of a pancake.

"I can visualize many things." the
alert coed said.

Conservation Program
Expanded at Yale

:\ew Haven. Conn. l/.P.) Yale Uni-
versity is expanding into the under-
graduate level its graduate Conserva-
tion Program started two years ago.
First step in the expansion is a new
course, "Plants and Man," which is
being offered for the first time this
fall to liveral arts as well as science
students here.

The move is viewed as concrete evi-
dence of the success of the Concer-
valion Program at Yale, one of the
country's first graduate set-ups devoted
entirely lo research and instruction in
the conservation of natural resources.
The pragram has attracted nation-wide
interest in the academic world since
its inception. The department will
award Master of Science in Conser-
vation degrees to graduate students of
the two-year course.

Many colleges and universities are
studying the possibility of starting de-
partmenls similar to Yale's, according
lo Prof. Paul B. Scars, head of the
program. Requests for information
inounled last year to such an extent
that a folder on the plan was issued
and has been mailed out widely.

Dean Williams
Cit-es Changes
in SSC Program

By Frank Prince

Numerous revisions and adjustments
are required to carry out the program
of the College, according to Dr. E. K.
Williams, acting dean of faculty.

In interpreting this statement, Dr.
Williams showed that, in some dcnirt-
ments, adjustments have been made,
based upon experiences gained la^t
year.

In the business department, there
have been several adjustments to meet
th needs of those who wish to get only
practical experience in business, and
are not interested in working toward
a degree. One of the revised courses
is Typing. This course, in the pasi
unaccredited, is now a regularly cred-
ited course.

In the field of education, changes
have been made to accommodate the
new block schedule for certain educa-
tion courses. School Conmiunity and
Curriculum, and Human Growth and
Learning have been united to form one
block course which carries eight credit
hours. By doing this, more time is
allotted, and conflict witli other classes
is practically eliminated, the dean said.

Dr. Williams also indicated other
changes in the academic program. This
year, all freshmen were required to take
the English Placement Test, the Mathe-
matical Plan Test, and the Psycholo-
gical Test. On the basis of test results,
freshmen were placed. In the cases of
failure to meet minimum test standards,
remedial courses were set up for fresh-
men.

The affable dean staled that his
hopes in the staff and student body are
high. He said, "1 am always willing
to cooperate in giving my students any
information pertaining to the welfare
of our school."

1952

Soufh of "South of the Border'

By Frank Prince

My trips to South America
have taken nie to four different
countries. In these countries, we
find different customs and ways
of hfe in comparison to the North
.'\merican way.

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

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

We traveled from the airport to
the center of the city, a distance
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 Presidente (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 emancipator.
Traveling Is Fun and Education
Combined.

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

We landed al l.iniatoba Aiipdii,
a ten-minute ride from the city,
and were welcomed by, not mos-
quitoes this time, but by 45-degree
weather for which we were un-
prejjared. We were unprepared
because we did not have top-coats.
In Panama we do not use this
wearing apparel because the tem-
perature there does not drop be-
low 65. We are situated, geograpli-
ically, in the torrid zone. So one
can just imagine how we felt in
this strange land.

From the airport, we were es-
corted into the city by a motor-
cade of six motorcycle policemen.
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-min-
ute trip in about seven minutes.
This place, Escuela Militar Na-
cional (National Military School)
is situated near one of the chief
seaports of Peru, Callao.

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

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

Self-Help Building
Program Success
At Wilmington

WILMINGTON. 0., Oct. 20 (IP).
The student body and faculty of Wil-
mington College are cooperating on
their third major-self-help campus
building program. Four years ago they
made educational history in headlines
when tliey began construction in the
volunteer work that made possible a
new 100-man dormitory. This time (he
co-eds and fellows ure helping to build
a new fine-arts center; a one-story
classroom wing of the new auditorium.

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 $400,000 campus addition. A
six member executive committee was
appointed, and is directing the organi-
zation of a program for this purpose.

Two years ago the student body and
faculty erected a new athletic stadium,
and in bel\s'een 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.

New Chapel Policy
Adopted at Penn

Piltsliiirgh. f'li. il.l'.) A new chap-
el and 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 be
four weeks long, and students will
liave four cuts to each assembly month.
The rules governing assembly attend-
ance include the following:

1. One over-cut to four during any
one assembly month shall be made
up during the next assembly
month. More than four over-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 he considered a sec-
ond offense and the student in-
volved shall appear at once before
the Faculty-Student Board.

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

3. Over cutting which occurs in the
last month of an academic year
shall carry over and be subject
to perallv 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 to check reasons for ab-
sence.

Co Captains Willie Frank Johnson
and Roscoe Brower played their last
collegiate foolbull game in the Thanks-
giving clash with Paine.

"To be a good athlete requires in-
telligent concentration and spontaneous
coordination on the part of the player, '
according to Willie Frank Johnson, co-
captain of the Tigers. Johnson is a
senior majoring in physical education.

A native of St. Petersburg, Florida,
Johnson was graduated from Hutto
High School, Bainbridge, Georgia, in
1949. He was the fourth honor stu-
dent out of a class of fifty-five. While
at Hutto High, this versatile student
distinguished himself by being the
recipient of three varsity letters in
Softball, basketball, and track.

Aside from being a leader in the
field of sports, Johnson served as the
president of his class four consecutive
years.

After visiting Savannah Stale in the
spring of 1949, Johnson immediately
decided to become a part of this pro-
gressive institution. He said, "I was
swept off my feet after being exposed
to the friendly atmosphere here at
State."

Since being at State, this well-round-
ed student has proved his ability on
the gridiron and in intermural activi-
ties. As a result of his gridiron skill,

Jolinson was elected co-captain ot the
football team for 1952.

"It pays to he industrious," said
Johnson. Proof of his belief in this
statement is the fact that this busy
student is employed as un assistant in
the College Booksloto.

Being aware of the fact that a stu-
dent must develop socially as well as
mentally and physically, Johnson is
interested in entering Greekdom. He
is a memhrr of the Sphinx Club of
Alpha Plii Alpha fraternity,

Co-Captain Roscoe Bro(4er is a na-
tive of Thomasville, Georgia, A sen-
ior majoring in industrial arts, Brower
.served as captain of the football team
at Douglas High School, 194fi-49.

Very versatile when it comes to
sports, Brower earned three letters in
football, one in baseball, and one in
track while in high school,

Brower also participated in the Y. M,
C. A., the Hi-Y Club, and served as
assistant junior scoutmaster while at-
tending Douglas High.

In September, 1949, Brower entered
Savannah Slate where he immediately
became a member of the football team,
the Men's Glee -Club, the Y, M, C. A.,
and the Varsity Club.

In 1952, Brower received the Cer-
tificate ot Merit in General Woodwork
and Carpentry from the Division of
Trades and Industries.

Christmas for the year 1952 should be very real to all age groups
in America especially to young men and women in our colleges. The
traditional joys and merriment associated with Christmas mcrease m
value and charm as one develops toward maturity. The rich heritage
of American youth whetted by college training opens new avenues for
a genuine enjoyment of this season ot the year. American ideals,
institutions, and progress provide for each one every year greater
opportunity to share and enjoy the season. May your Christmas this
year be the best because you have helped to make it so. ^

THE TIGER'S ROAR

December, 1952

Peace On The Earth, Good Will To Men

It came upon llie midnight ciear.

That glorious song of old.
From angels bending near the eartli

To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to men.
From heaven's all-gracious King "
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear ihe angels sing.

Theso beautiful lines were written by Edmund Hamilton Scars
an American author and Unitarian clergyman. He was uispircd. I
believe, by the great story of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Today we are grateful to this author for his contribution of the
beautiful carol. Whenever we bear its melodious tune, our minds are
immediately focused on Christmas. Christmas, though abstract in a
sense, is a day which all people of the Christian faith look upon as
being buth solemn and joyful.

Nearly two tb.iusand years ago. some poor shepherds, while
lending their flocks at night, received the heavenly heralds of Jesus
birth. The shepherds little realized that they w.mld be n part of tlie
moving chronicle of the Saviour of mankind.

As the Bible tells us, however, there was one man who. for Ins
selfish ends, wanted to send gifts to the infant King. He told the
Wise Men to locate the Child and return to him so that he. too. could
share the jo\ of His arrival. Herod was afraid of Christ's becoming
King of Kings. However, his scheming did not work and the Child
King grew up to die for the remission of our sins .as was prophesied by
the sages.

In our modern world, we have media of communication and trans-
portation more adequate and faster than that of the days of Christ.
We are privileged to celebrate the nalal day of our great Saviour with
added splendor and appreciation.

We look forward to the celebration of Christmas with a prepara-
tion second to no oilier. We put aside our chores to greet our friends.
Our children look forward to receiving gifts from jolly old Santa

Choosing A Career

When we come to that decisive stage in our lives where we must
choose a life career, or ever earn our livelihood by sources we find at
random, we are forced to cope with one of life's greatest problems. It
is then that one must be able to examine his various capabilities, his
likes and dislikes, his interests, and his greatest ambition.

Choosing a career is a problem to many. In deciding how *ve will
earn our living, many of us refuse to face reality. We hide from our-
selves those little faults we have, which may prove to be a handicap to
us in our chosen career. We deceive ourselves into thinking that they
will disappear as time goes by. We decide to earn our living in a
certain way and ignore obstacles which may thwart our success. In
doing this we tell ourselves that "lime will cure all ills." and we forget
that '"there are exceptions to every rule."

When we think of a career we lliink of a way in which to earn
our livelihood. To many a career means nothing more. Perhaps many
of us would acquire a higher status during the course of our careers
if we would he more liberal in ou rtbinking when we are choosing tbem.
Success would probably come to many more people if. in choosing a
life's work, they would think more of what they have to offer society,
rather than what society has to offer them.

When one attempts to begin i)reparation for a career he should
ask himself the question: How can I serve society best? We should
remember thai not until society deigns us worthy do we achieve suc-
cess. It might appear to the individual that lie is responsible for his
success in society, but this is not entirely true. The degree to which
one is able to prescribe his cure for society's ills is also the degree to
which he achieves status in society and personal satisfaction.

People who serve society best discover their greatest talent some-
where along life's way. When they have discoverd what thy do best
they incessantly strive to make every possible improvement. Those who
obtain the greatest fame and recognition usually do so by indefatigably
striving toward the perfection of the work which they have dedicated
their lives to. They do not deceive themselves about their capabilities
or interest but face courageously the obstacles which confront them in
their quest for success.

When one chooses a profession there are many things which he
should consider other than his present qualifications. He should be
able to anticipate, if not to a great extent, what will probably be his
destiny in the career which he has chosen. One should ask himself
such questions as the following: Will I become bored or discouraged
after having begun my life's work? Will I be willing to tolerate the
annoyances peculiar to my profession? Will I have the courage to con-
tinue in my profession after undergoing strain and stress?

The problem of choosing a career is one which can be solved
without great difficulty if one is willing to perform the necessary self-
examination. One may think that such an examination is not
important, but it becomes evident after one has begun to make prepa-
rations for a career.

Choosing a career can be accomplished without much difficulty if
every one who plans to enter some type of profession will first become
entirely acquainted with himself and learn how he can serve society

The Suraren Blade By Frank Yer-
liy. Dial Press, New York, 1952.

Frank Yerhy has again produced a
lir-il seller in The Saracen Blade. Thh
novel is ihe yollanl story of llic thir-
teenth century and of two youths.
I'ielro di Donati, ihe son of a hlack-
-niiili. and Frederick the Second of
Holienstaufcn were strangely related
in a way though ontr was a com-
moner or "hasehorn," the other an Em-
porer they were horn on the same
(lay. As tlie mysticism of the day fol-
lowed, thry were linked hy their stars.

Wlien. as hoys, they met for the first
lime they sliarcd a close bond, it bond
of spiril. temperament, and intellect
that surpassed a blood relationship.

Tlie world that Pielro sliared was a
limi- of brightness a world of nation
ugainst notion, of niai<lens of radiant
henuty, wilh long hair in iiels of gold
thread, and attired in silk and samite,
velvet and ermine, "hejcweled nohle-
inen flaunting llie arrogant insignia of
their proud houses." It was Pietro's
world.

It was (hiring this ihirleenlh century
world of fanatic and heretic, of Christ-
ian and Saracen. Sicilian and Gernian
that Pielro bad lo make liis way Pletro
ulone was unfitted for Ibis world in
wbich be was cast.

Tliougb in stature, he was "small and
delicale. sofl-hearled and gentle." his
hruin was keen as the edge o( a Sara-
cen hla<le., Frederick, his "star broth-
er," and llie Jew Isaac "taught him

lolanthe, ihe daughter of u great
iuiron, loved Pielro at first sight, and
was hopelessly separated from him hy

This is a dynamic, fast moving slory

The author has a swift, colorful style.

Who Can Speak For a

Newspaper? A Puzzler
For College Editors . . .

When a newspaper speaks, whose
voice do we really bear?

This was the key problem facing
ibe 594 delegates to the Associated
Collegiate Press convention in New
York October 23-25. Tbe question kept
coming up in a number of different
ilisguises ibrougboul tbe three days.

A part of this i|ueslion centered
about the dilenmia of whether a col-
lege newspaper has the right to lake
an editorial stand on a political (non-
campus I conlesl.

James Weschler. editor of the New
York Post, told tbe delegates tliat not
only <lo they have the right lo take a
stand, but that "it is your duty." Com-
paring tlie school administration with a
publisher, lie said, "If an editor finds
himself in basic disagreement wilh the
publisher, he shouldn't be working for
him."

But John Tehhel, vice-chairman of
the New York University journalism
department, felt that tbe analogy was
false. Tlie administration could not
lie likened lo a publislier of a metro-
politan newspaper.

An informal poll taken at the con-
ference showed that more than half
of the editors bad already taken a
stand on the presidential election. A
lew otliers said tliey were planning to
take a position, but would allow a
minority of the slaff lo write a dis-
senting editorial.

This brought up tbe problem of who
is entitled to speak for ihe newspaper.
The following groups of persons were
suggested:'

The school adminislration or the pub-
lications adviser. Reason: They are
ihe true publishers and policy makers.
The entire staff. Reason: The slaff
puts out the paper and deserves a
voice in shaping policy.

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

The student body. Reason: It is the
duty of the college paper to reflect
ihc attitudes and opinions of its readers.

It's the last day in November, somewhere in tbe deep and sunny

The evening is lovely. ... It makes one feel glad to be alive. The

watching au'.umn fall in death. My heart is sad. and I wonder how it

Or should I say the bitterness of some realities. . . . For this is reality
and by all that is truthful it is not bitter.

Yes, this is ours. . . . Many times have we sat here and seen tbe

summer, and the breath of fall. Many are the dreams we have dreamed

The Night

By James B. Slater

Tlie iiiglit is like an empty space.
It seeins as if everybody's dead
The birds, the bses. the human

race.
Nothing is heard, nothing is said.

The silence seems like a world

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
That can only be found in the

dark.
But ihruugli the darkness it

shines bright.
And only the night knows where

it parks.

Then tlicrc comes a beaming

light.
The dawn of what is day.
The night will drift nut of -iight.

Colby Analyzes
Arts College Aims

Watervillt:. Me. (/J*.) Colby Col-
lege is well aware of the national trend
of self-examination in connection with
the evaluation and improvement of lib-
'T arts education and is conducting
several projects of its own in line with
it.

According to President Julius S.
Bixler, the theme of this year's con-
vocation, celebrating the completion of
the new Maflower Hill campus, will
be an attempt to analyze tlie problems
an arts college faces and the changes
that are vital for the justified existence
of these colleges.

Dean Ernest Marriner also stressed
the importance of the convocation. He
said that it will help to show what can
be done in our local situation to strike
the correct balance of core courses
humanities, sciences, and social sci-
ences.

Dean Marriner said that the attempt
to improve faculty-student relationships
was another important step in the im-
provement of the college. He feels
that the present technique recogniz-
ing the faculty as one governing body
and the Student Council as another,
with the Joint Committee for a clearing
house is the right one.

The problem now is bow student
opinion can reach the fundamental
authority, he said, since the faculty
cannot act on all matters. "There are
faculty. trustee dinners; why not stu-
dent government-trustee dinners?" he
asked.

Both President Bixler and Dean
Marriner cited the work of the Aca-
demic Council, a group made up of the
beads of all departments. This body
is "rethinking tbe liberal arts pro-
gram," and has taken the work former-
ly done by the curriculum committee
on revitalizing the Colby curriculum."

Another group examining the prob-
lem and, specifically the phase of more
effective teaching, is the local chapter
of the American Association of Uni-
versity Professors. One of the points
this group has made is the need for
more adequate recognition of students
of superior interest and ability. A
committee of the AAUP has suggested
a Senior Fellowship program. The
committee feels that the program would
be "an exceedingly valuable means of
r to^nizmn exceptional academic
d hiiviment and ... a step in the di-
rictmn of a more general honors pro-
gram"

Xccordm^ to ibe plan, certain
le i{,nated -.eniors, ,would be alowed
In pur'iue a program of individual
lu li un I r thi. guidance of a mem-
I r of th faculty, in Heu of a certain
portion of the customary semester re-
quin ments durmg their senior year.
The student', selected by a faculty com-

rt( would meet with the faculty

1 ullant as often as the instructor

nks de^'irable A written report at

! ed m dupl cate, and one copy would

What Is Christmas?

What does Christinas mean to

you?
I truly would like to know.
Is it just another hohday
That all of us adore?
Is it the day when all mankind
Should give praise to Him ahove;
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 ahide in all the earth,
When people of all nations
Celehrate Christ's hJrth?
To me, it is a day to commem-

One of the greatest in the year.

Who brought peace, goodwill to

And throughout eternal ages
He will in glory reign.

Roaring Tigers
Trip Paine
Lions, 20-6

Savannah State closed its 1952 grid
season with a sniastiing victory over
the highly favored Paine College Lions,
20-fi. The well-experienced Lions last
year held the Tigers to a 6-6 tie. This
year, the Tigers developed a tricky
offensive to suit the predominantly
freshman players who displayed un
explosive brand of football that her-
alds the Martinmen us threats to tbe
SEAC powers next year.

Freshman tailback Charles Cozart
spread bis ends wide on the flanks
and passed the Paine Lions dizzy for
three quarters. Tiger Captain Willie
Frank Johnson sang his swan song
in a blaze of glory. Johnson snagged
a Cozart pass and scored easily in the
second quarter and swept around end
to score the extra point.

Five minutes later, L. J. McDaniels,
freshman end from Calhoun, caught
a ^5-yanl pass from Co/.art and romped
down the sidelines 40 yards to score.
Tbe try for the extra point was wide.
Tbe half ended with Stale leading 13-1).

On the second play of the third
quarter, Paine fumiilcd and State re-
covered. Three plays later, Willie
Frank Johnson hit paydirl on a drop
kick by Cozart. The remainder of
the game was played on Paine territory.

The irm Turkey Day funs were
brought to their feet when Johnson
intercepted a Paine pass and galloped
fifty yards to score. However, an off-
side penally against Stale nullified the
score.

Head Coach John Martin and liis
assistants. \1 Frazier and Henry Bow-
man, finally got the sputtering Tiger
grid macliine in gear and exploded
from the "T" to overrun Paine in a
spectacular game of power.

Making this possible were W. F.
Johnson. John Johnson, Charles Cozart,
Gardner Hobhs, Willie Ruffin, James
Collier, Marvin Pitlman, Curtis King,
Clinton Reese, Earl Terry, Leonard
Sims, Jefferson Rogers, and James
Ashe. Ashe, "the Giant Killer," is
tbe smallest man on the squad and
lias proved to he the best defensive
player.

Tigers Defeated
By Claflin, 32-0

Mil- N>C lig.T> hi-t to a victory,
hungry Claflin team, 32-0, before a
Founders Day-Hoineconiing crowd in
Orangeburg, November 22. State rolled
up 200 yards rushing and passing, but
failed to develop a scoring punch.

Stale, operating from Ihe "T" with
Freshman Q. B. Charles Cozart in the
slot, attempted 17 passes, completing
6 and having two intercepted. Willie
Huff in. 303-lb. defensive guard from
Claxton, was the outstanding player
for Stale us he drove through the Claf-
lin line like a fast frciglit to knock
Ibe ball carrier on his lieels. The
coinl)ination of Ruffin and John "Big
Bruiser" Johnson. 260-lb. guard, worked
like a precision-made watch for the
first lime this season. This combina-
tion stopped the Claflin ground attack
during the entire fourth quarter.

Stale, however, was no match for
the Claflin Panthers. Paul Bailey and
Chester Smith formed the scoring team
(or the Panthers.

Stofe Loses, 18-13,
To Florida Normal

ST. AUGUSTINli;. Fla.. November
1.5.-Tbe luckless Tigers fell, IB-IS,
before the Florida Normal Lions at
Si. Auguslinr-, before a Homecoming
crowd of approximately 1500 fans. Tbe
game was marked- by fumbles and
severe penalties ineled oul against
Slate.

Florida scored in the second quarter,
but failed to make the extra point.
Stale, displuying power that has been
lucking all season, marched sixty yards
down the field with Roscoe Brower,
senior hack, racing ten yards to knot
tbe score. The half ended with Flor-
ida lending, 12-6.

Florida scored in the fourth and
Slate bounced hack to stay in the
game with Charles Cozurl bulling his
way across from the five. The extra
point was on a pass from Roberts to
Weotlierspoon. The score stood ut
18-13 in favor of the Lions.

Stale racked up 349 yards rushing
and passing, and completed seven of
the nine passes attempted, and had two
intercepted.

GRIDIRON GLEANINGS

Hy Johnny P. Junes

'Hie Tigers played with all tlicir heart and soul this season. Al-
though they won only one game for the season, their spirit was good.
It is not whether you win or lose, l)ut how yoti play. The lack of a
school hand and enthusiastic support dampened the spirit of the team.
A hand is essential to the spirit of the team as well as that of the
student body.

Twenty-two freshmen, five juniors, and three sophomores remain
at SSC for the foundation of a new Tiger team. They are full of
talent and speed. They stamp State as a potentially great grid power
in 1953.

To Co-Captains Willie Frank Johnson and Roscoe Brower, Marvin
Pittman, Lester Davis, and Robert Merritt, the best of luck for a great
future. May you give to the world the best that you have as you leave
the football field of State. You have played your best. May those
ulio come after you continue to carry the heritage of good sportsman-
ship on and off the athletic field ihe heritage that you have handed
down to them.

Yes. I have that friendly virtue
It lake? tu get along,
Beiausc I do console my friends
When things and plans go wrong.

1 help the stranger along the way.
It matters not if he's dark or fair.
Down the lowliest roads I'd go
If help wills me there.

Whatever work my hands can do
Is thoughtful, honest, and true.
For friends and strangers. I'm on

Moment by moment, tlir whole

Yes. I have that certain something

That age cannot decay.

And I'm forever thankful to my

mother
For rearing me up this way.

Literary Contest
For 1953
Announced

The CLA Literary Contest for 1953,
sponsored by the College Language
Association, is announced. The pur-
pose of the contesl is lo encourage

among students enrolled in colleges
that hold membership in the College
Language Association.

that has at least one faculty memher
with active membership in the CLA is
eligible to submit one poem or one
short story or both, provided that the
signature of an active CLA member
at Ihe contestant's college be affixed

4-Part Teaching
Plan Set Up
At Yale

NEW HAVEN. Conn. (I. P.). The
new Freshman Class of 1956 at Yale
has been limited to 1,025 men in line
with the University's long-range policy
of reducing the overall enrollment to
a more normal size. Last year's Fresh-
man Class numbered 1.169.

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

Two of the four parts concerns the
expansion of Yale's Directed Studies
program. Directed Studies, inaugu-
rated in 1946, aims "lo explore ihrough
small classes and close contact between
student and instructor the potentiali-
ties of a prescribed, integrated, course
of study, a common intellectual experi-
ence for ihe first iwo years of college."
A third part of tlie Plan calls for
a tutorial system for Sophomores in
the 10 residential colleges. Qualified
sophomores may take one of their
courses in tutorial form, with a faculty
mendier who is a Fellow of the col-
lege. The Yale tutorial system has
been in effect for several years for
juniors and seniors and now will be
expanded and also extended to include
sophomores.

The final part of the plan calls for
an expansion of the Scholars of the
House program. Outstanding seniors
wlio are chosen as Scholars are relieved
of all formal classroom work and plan
their own schedule under the super-
vision of a faculty advisor. The stu-
denl< thus have more time and incen-
tive for greater creative work in their
tlioM-n field of study.

Notre Dome Begins
Compined Program

South Bend, Ind.. Oct. 20 A new
new five-year combinations Arts and
Letters-Engineering program, designed
to 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
Notre 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 rultural and social
training in the slandanl four-year en-
gineering course, the vast extent ot
technical subjects that must be covered
necessarily limits the cultural aspect
of the student's training. The new
program, he said, will provide qualified
students adequate coverage in both
fields.

Farther Norton announced that the
>itudent suocessfully completing the
combination Arts and Letter-Engineer-
ing program will receive two degrees
from Notre Dame. The degree of
Bachelor of Arts with a major in En-
gineering-Science will he warded at the
end of the fourth year, and the degree
of Bachlor of Science in the profession-
al engineering course pursued will be
ttiven at the completion of the fifth
year.

In the firsl two years of the nen
combination program, according to Fa-
ther Norton, the student will follow the
regular Arts and Letters curriculun)
except for certain preciscribed courses
in Mathematics and science. In the
ihini and fourth years, the program
becomes progressively more technical
and in the fifth year it is completely
technical.

Father Norton said that students en-
tering this program who decide on
Arcliilecture as their professional En-
gineering field receive the Arts degree
at the end of the fourth year like other
engineering students, but, in general,
two additional years are required be-
fore the program for the degree of
Bachelor of Architecture is completed.

Narcotics Education Workshop Held
During First Summer Session

By Johnnie Paul Jones

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

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

The chief aim of the work-
shop was to teach the prevention
of the use of narcotics and to
conserve human resources. One
interesting experiment p e r -
formed by the group was the
distillation of beer and its ef-
fects on the mind and body-
Captain C. F. Weimer, Direc-
tor of the Savannah Police De-
partment's Traffic Bureau, was
one of the guest lecturers for
the workshop. He lectured on
the effects of alcohol on the
traffic and accident rate in Sa-
vannah, and demonstrated the
use of the Intoxlmeter 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; Miss
Marie Barnwell, Savannah; Miss

Work On New Men's Dormitory Begun

On Wednesday, July 15. 1953. work was started on the new half-
million dollar men's dormitory at Savannah State College. The
Byck-Worrell Construction Company of Savannah who will build
the dormitory, started clearing away the trees on the dormitory site
in preparation for beginning construction of the new edifice.

Architects for the ultra-modern structure are Cletus W. and
William P. Bergen. The new building is being constructed adjacent
to Hill Hall the present men's dormitory. It will accommodate 220
students.

Dr. William K. Payne, Presi-
dent of the College, In comment-
ing on the work, stated that he
was pleased that work was un-
derway for the construction of
the new building because It will
meet one of the college's great-
est needs that of housing. Doc-
tor Payne pointed out that the
new dormitory will place the col-
lege In a position for a unit of
the Reserve Officers Training
Corps.

The new building will be a
three-story edifice constructed
on an L-shaped plan, with re-
inforced concrete floors, ceilings
and roof throughout. The ex-
terior walls will be of concrete
block, faced with a red range
face brick In the full range of
colors with continuous fenestra-
tion. The continuous windows
on each floor will be aluminum
with crystal plate glass and all
ventilating sections will be
equipped with aluminum screens.
The roof of the building will be
a 20 year built-up tar and felt
roof, and the whole structure will
be completely fire-proof.

In the building there will be
105 dormitory rooms, each ac-
commodating two students. The
interior of these rooms will be of
cement plaster at side walls and
ceilings and the entire area,
both, both In sleeping rooms and
corridors, will be finished with
asphalt floor tile. In each of the
sleeping rooms there will be com-
modious closet tor each student,
together with built-in chest of
drawers, also arranged to pro-
duce maximum comfort and

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
paid to the lighting of the build-
ing to safeguard the students'

eyes,

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

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

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

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

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

Miss Williams stated that al-
though Syracuse is a private

tries found there. She felt that
It was very advantageous to

The Rosenberg Case
Goes Down In History

The fury over the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg spy case came to
a close June 18. 1953.

In April. 1951. five Americans were convicted of conspiracy to
commit espionage against the United States. The five were the
Rosenbergs. Ethels brother, David Greenglass and Harry Gold.

Offers from the United States Government to spare their Uves
in return for a confession of spying was turned own by them. The
couple maintained their innocence to the end. declaring their
sentence was a cruel and uncivilized action administered by Auto-
cracy under Arbitrary power. They were, they said, victims of
the worst frameup In the history of our country, but they would
not yield their rights as free Americans.

They were the first spies executed by order of a United States
civil court. They were electrocuted in Sing Sing prison's electric
chair.

Emanuel H. Bloch. attoi'ney for the Rosenbergs, fought to the
last for a stay-of-execution. Even the parents and two children
of the doomed couple pleaded for clemency, but to no avail. More
than ten-thousand persons participated In a "Save the Rosenbergs"
demonstration before the White House.

Even after many pleas from the immediate family and friends.
Federal Judge Irving Kaufman refused clemency and stated he had
searched his conscience but found no reason for mercy. Were he
to show mercy he would violate the sacred trust placed in his
hands by the people, ire 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; 19:5-121. Christ
was a Jew. so were Julius and Ethel.

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

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

The Korean Conflict

One of the biggest controversies of our times Is the Korean
War. Few people in the world understand fully the issues or prob-
lems we face in the Far East, of which the Korean War is one.

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

America and fifteen other United Nations countries intervened
to stop the Communist aggression. Even though Russia was not
directly participating in the war, it was believed by the United
Nations that she was contributing men and materials to the Com-
munist cause.

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

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

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

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 httle pests in
the classroom and in the dormitory the night before. In short,
they won't let you sleep during the night.

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

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

The Administration
Merits A Big Hand

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

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

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

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

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

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

During thi^ 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
handkercliief. 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 hali 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 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 for their large numbers here at the College?
Are teachers and students to continue toleration of such pests
in such large multitudes? Are they to expect relief only when
summer school ends?

but the slap, slap continues about the classroom as the roll is

The Arts and
Crafts Workshop

By Mary Patrick

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

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

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

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Should An Athlete Be Paid? The Elementary Workshop

Page 3

"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 skill rather
than for money."

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

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

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

Ford Fellow Tells
How He Received

Grant

By J. W. H. Thomas

"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 fellowship.

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

"Yes" Athletic
Director T. Wright

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

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

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

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

Coach Wright referred to an
important factor to be consid-
ered in deciding whether or not
an athlete should be paid. He
said, "Athletes are risking phys-
ical injuries more than any other
student. If they are injured, it
lessens their ability to carry on
their other activities." He point-
ed out that students who play
in the band, sing in the choir
or have other types of work-aid
jobs, are not exposed to danger.
He concluded by stating that
schools take in revenue from
athletic performances- When
asked. "What does an athlete get
out of it?" He further empha-
sized that the amount paid to
athletes should vary according
to individual needs.
further expressed my desire, as
Chairman of the Department of
Mathematics, to meet this chal-
lenge in both personnel and
equipment." Mr. Clemmons
stated-

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

Secondary Education
Workshop Makes The
Elementary Curriculum Dynamic

By Mrs. H. E. Clark

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

The surveys, discussions, con-
ferences and skillful guidance on
the part of Dr. C. L. Kiah, Chair-
man of the Education Depart-
ment and Workshop Director.
taught the participants how to
make the Curriculum in the
Secondary School Dynamic.

The Workshop members
learned to dlfferenciate between
a "do" democracy and a "talk"
democracy; they also learned to
develop a "know how" educa-
tional system rather than the
old traditional "know about" sys-

tem.

The 16 members of the work-
shop were divided Into groups
according to their interest.
Groups organized were Business
Education, Industrial Education.
Language Arts, General Science
and Social Science. Problems
were discussed and research work
done on the problems by mem-
bers of the groups. Experts in
the field were called in for con-
sultation. The groups then out-
lined their topic and discussed
the cause, effect and possible so-
lution of the problems.

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

he said.

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

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

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

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

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

THE TIGER'S ROAR

August, 1953

DR. W. K. PAYNE

The President
Speaks

It IS assumed that people who
attend college are still able to
grow and to profit from instruc-
tion. One does not expect to
find individuals who are so set
in their ways of living and act-
ing that Improvement cannot be
made.

In many respects this general
desire to learn and to improve
is the basis for unlimited growth
personality and vision. Stand-
ards of behavior in various
phases of living may be ex-
amined and analyzed. Almost
everyone possesses standards
which he has developed through
imagination or through con-
scious effort. Attending college
usually provides the time and
the atmosphere needed to ex-
amine one's behavior. There are
opportunities to see In others
some of the things which are
desirable, and likewise, oppor-
tunities to see some things are
very repulsive.

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

There is also some concern 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
care. Some want to rationalize
the situation by saying that there
was not sufficient time to do a
"turn key" job. Habits of ex-
cusing one's self so readily when
carelessness shows itself are
learned just as facts and infor-
mation are acquired. It is time
for college students to make
thoroughness and_ completeness
a part of all of their living.

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

Prof. Lockeite
Tells Of Work
At Illinois

By Joe Anna Campbell

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

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

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

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

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

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

"The 12 students enrolled in
the course showed exceptional
ability and background." he said.

In commenting on the fact
that he was the first Negro to
teach at the University of Illi-
nois, he said. "It depended most-
ly upon the individual more than
the race. The question of being
a Negro was just another inci-
dent."

doing additional study in the
field of personnel management
at Columbia University this sum-
mer. This study is expected to

so a graduate of Savannah State
College, is in full charge of the

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

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

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

The highlight of the workshop
was the presentation of a Three
Dimensitional Skit in the Col-
lege Chapel. 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-pupil planning. In
the modern school emphasis was
placed on the individual student
and ways to meet his physical,
mental, emotional, aesthetic and
social needs.

The Third Dimension will be
the new school of the future, de-
veloped by the teachers and fu-
ture teachers of tomorrow. Con-
sultants assisting Dr. Kiah in
the workshop were Mr. R. C.
Long. Chairman of the Business
Department; Mr, W. B. Nelson,
Director of the Division of Trades
and Industries; Dr. O. T. Small-
wood, Professor of Language and
Literature; Mr, C. V. Clay, Chair-
man of the Department of Chem-
Isty; Mr. W. V. Winters, Pro-
fessor of Chemistry; Mr. E. J.

S.S.C. MAKES HOMECOMING HISTORY

Give Thanks-
For What

Ruby Simmons '54
Shirley L. Jenkins '54

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Parade) (Colorful;
Homecoming Activities

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

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

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

High School band. Savannah.
Georgia; Woodville High School

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

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

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

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

queens and their attendants.

The blue and white clouds of
the afternoon were paling to
darkness. The auditorium flashed
and glittered with empty light.
In the middle rose a clump of
tenseness, while the spellbound
crowd awaited the entrance of

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. ,4.

lius 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-
juunded person socially as well
as educationally of all Savannah
State's students.

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

There will be a variety of pro-
f'-ams and some strictly educa-
tional. 1 1

ijuimg the past weeks these
programs have been very educa-
tional and social. I hope that
t :f students will gain some form
c enjoyment from them.

On November 11. which was
Armistice 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
yo.tr dating too seriously, be-
c ise every girl or boy you meet
C' ildn't turn out to be a big
ti'ing 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
eome back again and again make
ev^ry 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 12:00,
convenes at this time to give in-
formation to the students re-
garding the school set-up and
school activities. It provides the
means by which students can
hear different speakers and re-
ceive many other kinds of im-
portant information that they
would not hear otherwise.

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

We nave naa many interesting
programs aunng the past weeks;
among them was tne Spxnnx
ciuD s program.

In this program the members
of tne bpiunx uiuD carnea us
back to aays of old. Mr. ueorge
J onnson, acting as Master of
Ceremonies, gave us a briei sum-
mary oi our Ancestry. Miss ner-
menia Mobley sang two breath-
taking songs. NoDouy Knows tne
TrouDie I've Seen and You'll
Never Walk Alone. Mr. Curtis
Cooper, one of the big brothers
of ine Sphinxmen, sang Ole Man
River wniie Thomas Johnson, a
very talented young man, gave
his interpretation of the song in
dance. Then, too soon, the pro-
gram was over and we were
brought back to reality.

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

Lately, many visitors came to
our campus. Some of them were:
Geneva Calloway ; Lucius Col-
lier, the first President of Sa-

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

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

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

The singing of Robert McFer-
rin is one of the few real thrills
in music today. The great young
baritone possesses a voice of
soaring splendor, used to perfect-
tion throughout its phenomenal
range. To his rich native en-
dowment as vocalist and artist,
Robert McFerrin adds an excep-
tional personal intensity and
dignity which stamp his singing
as unforgettable. He attended
Fisk University for one year; he
then began his study at Chica-
go's school of music. He has had

lead roles in "The Green Pas-
tures" and in "Lost in the Stars."
He was the first Negro artist to
perform in "Rlgoletto" In this
country. Mr, McFerrin feels that
Metropolitan Opera Is something
great for him. He also stated
that he has been working toward
this goal.

After the concert, the reception
was held in the college center.
Everyone was served delicious re-
freshments, and met the stars.

This was a great experience In

On December 13. 1953 at Vesper Services, the Savannah State
College family enjoyed a very impressive concert presented by the
Uhoral Society.

It was obvious that the group, under the able direction of Dr.

Coleridge E. Braithwaite. had worked diligently and unrelentlessly

in order to gain the perfection of performance that was displayed-

The soloists sang with ease Glee Club; "Behold That Star."

and with an unusual amount of arr. by Lawrence; "O Holy

The musical interpretations
were so effective that everyone
in the audience was enveloped
by the Christmas Spirit . . .
"Peace on earth good will

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
^any, many years ago.

AH 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-book describing an
old English Christmas can be

reread annually: "Christmas,"
"The Stage Coach," "Christmas
Eve," "Christmas Day" and "The
Christmas Dinner."

Savannah State

Into its Biggest Building

Program in Years

Traveling around the campus of Savannah State College,
Georgia's largest institution of higher education for Negroes, one
can see a dream coming true, five construction projects already
initiated. The ground has already been broken and land being
leveled for the annex to the famous Wilcox Gymnasium.

This annex will make it possible for a larger and better Health
and Physical Education program. It will supplement the gymnastics
facilities and make it possible for more modern gymnastic operators
and a better gym for intramural, as well as intercollegiate compe-
tition, The Shafter Construction

Company of Hinesville, 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.

Work Progressing

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

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

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

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

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

lege's sewage system with the
city of Savannah, is nearly com-
pleted with Espy Construction
and Paving Company of Savan-
nah directing the works.

There can be no question
about Savannah State College
being engaged in its greatest
building program in the history
of the institution.

There are five major construc-
tions already initiated with the
necessary buildings being con-
structed. Visiting Savannah State
College now is like visiting a big
industi'ial center, with buildings
being directed simultaneously,

The Meaning of God's Gift to the World

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

This divine present was ac-
cepted in a stable In the little
to-.vn of Bethlehem. The mean-
Ing of God's gift cannot be over-
emphasized because of the sig-
nificant part that it plays In our
world of chaos. The gift of
which Isaiah spoke: "For unto
us a child is born, unto us a son
is given : and the government
shall be upon His shoulder: and
His name shall be called Won-
derful. Counsellor, The Mighty
God, The Everlasting Father. The
Prince of Peace."

Jesus, the Son of God. was the

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

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

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

WhatjChristmas Should Mean to Us

Doris A. Sanders. Copy Editor

Christmas Day. When the shep-
herds saw the star which led
them to Jesus, "they rejoiced

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

Christmas Day, December 25,
has been set aside as the birth-
day of Jesus, "the Saviour" of the
world. Everywhere this day
should be a day of worship,
prayer, and glorification to Jesus
Christ. Certainly it is a day of
celebration but not the Itind 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 Why's

of
Christmas

Ruby Simmons '54

Shirley Jenkins "54

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

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

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

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

The custom of decorating trees
una 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.

with exceeding great joy."

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

Let us sing as the angels sang,
"Peace on earth good will to
men" and make our Christmas,
not just another holiday, but
the birthday of Jesus Christ. Let
us 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 Uves.

LOST VENTURE

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

return,
I find myself in a mist
Of weariness.

Nothing but loneliness am I
Webbed in, to dampen tl"

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

in

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

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

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

After this aire of joy,
All is done, and that web
Of loneliness closes me out
In a world of my own.
In this world, if you but

CHRISTMAS MELODIES

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

what I hear?
Sounds, along the course of the

air.
Melodies, from the breath of the

falling snow
Bring joy and happiness of the

season's show.

I wonder why are the stars so

bright?
And the melodies I hear are so

soft and light?

So you do understand as I can

see by your smiles.
The melodies are in honor of

the little Christ Child.

Joy is imparted to all of the
trees

By the glorious sounds of Christ-
mas melodies.

A HINT TO THE WISE

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

grief.

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

Don't sit on the stool of do

nothing
Because things don't come your

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

When hard problems confront

you.
Don't try solving them with

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

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

A Christmas Message

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

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

Signed: W. K,

PAYNE.
President.

Christmas
Thoughts

Solomon Green '55

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

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

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

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

I wish you all a very Merry
'hristmas and Happy New Year
.'\nd when we all return I trust
,ur New Year's resolution will
ly; to Study hard for better
i: rades.

The Mistletoe

When we are home for Christ-
mas and mistletoe is hanging
; ound. do we really know why
I s there? Mistletoe, a little
-Uow-green plant with waxen
I't rries. is often nailed up over
i.i lors and around the house for
Cijcoration at Christmas time.
During ancient times the
luids. a powerful religious group
r. ancient Gaul, Britain, and
;fland. believed that mistletoe
.Tis sacred, and gathered it in
.solemn ceremony. The Saxons
f old England also prized it and
egarded it as a symbol of peace.
When warriors found it growing
ar 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-jingly season.
And only cats and puppy dogs
Can't understand the reason.

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

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

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

Again, Merry Christmas!!

Leisure Wear
Glamor pants take 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 clothes and
have designed glamorous pants
that are strikingly feminine.

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

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

The Silkiest Season

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

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

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

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

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

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority

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

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

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

HERE'S TO VETERANS

James C. Cooper

The Veterans' Club, after hav-
ing organized under the advisory
of Mr. N. R. Freeman, has already
gone a long way in the school
year. We are quite satisfied with
our choice for president for this
year, Mr. James O. Thomas. He
is a veteran of some six years'
service in the Army, having at-
tained the rank of Tech Ser-
geant. This alone, supported by
such a brilliant showing of the
club in the homecoming festival,
is indicative of his capabilities
as a leader. Mention cannot be
made of all Mr. Thomas has
already contributed toward mak-
ing the club a success. Our presi-
dent may easily be considered as
having a versatile character; he
can be as shrewd or sympathetic
as necessity may deem. We are
looking forward to a prosperous
year under his leadership. Other
officers are: Messrs. Herman
Terry, vice president; Willie B.
Hooks, secretary; Henry John-
son, treasurer; Harold Duggins,
financial secretary; John Paul
Jones, parliamentarian.

The club wishes to thank Miss
Francine Ivery most sincerely
for being its queen on home-
coming. We are concentrating
on a more impressive way of
showing our gratitude.

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

It might be interesting to note
that the V.A. is not concerned
with whether you change your
MAJOR or not, as long as your
curriculum is leading to a B. S.
or A. B. degree and can be got-
ten within the time allotted you.
So, if you want to change your
major from Chemistry to Ele-
mentuary Education, it may be
done without consulting the V.A.

and you will not have used your
authorized ONE CHANGE OF
PROGRAM.

The committee of the Student
Loan Association has been de-
lighted in serving the students
of Savannah State College and
hope you have enjoyed the serv-
ice.

Nevertheless, we would appre-
ciate it, if more students would
purchase stock. As you know,
through your purchasing stock
enables the Student Loan Asso-
ciation to function. Please give
this consideration; for the com-
ing year we would like to have
more stockholders.

Last year a survey of leading colleges

Luckies to any other cigarette.

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

Smoking enjoyment is all a matter of
taste , and the fact of the matter is Luckies
taste better first, because L.S./MFT

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

Administrative Officers 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 Ingersoll has for two
years adjusted pre-registration
to the Religious Emphasis Week.

President W. K, Payne has ad-
justed the faculty meetings to
the advantage of Religious Em-
phasis each year since he has
been in office. Dean T. C. Meyers
has scheduled final examinations
to the advantage of the Religious
Emphasis Program this year,
The Choir Will Be in Church for
Religious Emphasis Week

Dr. Coleridge Braithwaite has
agreed that the college choir
will sing for Morning Worship
during Religious Emphasis Week.
The religious life program for
this term has no plans for regu-
lar appearances of the choir in
Morning Worship.
Retreat to Be Early This Year

The retreat, an outstanding
feature of Religious Emphasis
Week, will be held early in the
morning this year. According to
Harold Duggan. Chairman of the
Retreat Committee, it is hoped
that the worship service and
breakfast can be over in time
for the participants to be back

on the campus and in class at
9:00 A.M. Students with 8:20
classes and who anticipate going
on the retreat should see Rev.
A. J. Hargrett on Wednesday.

Popularity of Religious Empha-
sis Week Program Due to Ef-
forts of Reverend Arm-
strong

The present popularity of Re-
ligious Emphasis Week at Savan-
nah State College is due largely
to efforts of a man, known by
but few, if any, of the present
students of Savannah State Col-
lege, It was Reverend Ernest
Armstrong. College Minister in
1948-49, who changed the pat-
tern of Religious Emphasis Week
observances that had been wit-
nessed by the students and fac-
ulty.

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

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

The Doctor
and God

By S- M- McDew. Jr.,
College Physician

In the beginning there was
God. To those men and women
engaged in the sciences, particu-
larly medicine, there has always
been a gap between science and
religion.

When God created man. He
made him master of all things
on the face of the Earth.
Through man's ingenuity, skill,
and creative ability, we have the
telephone, telegraph, radio, tele-
vision explosives. A-Bomb, H-
Bomb air craft, and other inven-
tions and discoveries. Specifi-
cally with regard to medicine, we
have such aids as anesthesls.

Why Student Council Supports
ReUgious Emphasis Week

TIMOTHY U. RYALS. President. Student Council
In a world of turmoil, confusion, and doubt, we find a week of
meditation very helpful and inspiring. The Student Council realizes
and feels that religion plays a significant role in developing the
whole individual.

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

Religion is a belief in God or

surgery, penicillin, and varied
equipment.

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

I believe that the true physi-
cian is aware of the need for
God's close association in the

ly, in all his undertakings, the

Prayer, too. is an essential tool.
Faith and Prayer can be likened
unto a crutch used by a lame
man. It is unnecessary to labor
the point that we are instru-
ments in His hands. Without
Him we can do nothing.

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

Review Of '53
Religious Observance

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

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

Improving Our Moral Life

Each year, a week is set aside
to emphasize religion. During
this week our campus is filled
throughout with a religious spir-
it. Programs based on Christian-
ity and fellowship with God and
man are presented. These pro-
grams serve to enrich our minds
and perpetuate our spiritual
growth and development.

Even though there is a week
set aside solely for the purpose
of emphasizing religion, it is not
a wise idea to try to improve and
make all necessary corrections
that are needed to be made in
one week.

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

along with society. This cannot
be done by merely modifying our
social characteristics, but our
moral characteristics as well.

At this stage of life, we should
realize that religion is one of
the basic fundamentals of hu-
man development. It stimulates
our desire to be respectful; It
helps us to develop a whole-
some outlook on life, and most
of all, it helps us to get along
with ourselves and with others.
It also increases our love for our
Alma Mater, in that it gives us
a better appreciation of the op-
portunities here at Savannah
State College.

Don't let your interest in im-
proving our moral standards die
when religious emphasis week is
over. Instead, may it flame up
spontaneously, warm the campus
atmosphere and burn continu-
ously.

Make Best of What You Have

Current News

Nadene Cooper '55
Unfortunately, there are no
two people identical. Each indi-
vidual has individual character-
istics or individual differences.
It is up to each person to dis-
cover the dominant traits that
he possesses and develop them to
the fullest capacity.

Perhaps you are unable to be
a Marion Anderson, but there is
a need for another Mary M. Be-
thune. If you cannot be a Dr.
Ralph Bunche, then be an Adam
Clayton Powell. There are plenty
opportunities awaiting you.

All of us can be great if we

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

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

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.

Reading for Information And
Pleasure

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

ter speed and better comprehen-
sion.

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

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

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
each 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.

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, i Es-
pecially for men).

Stratton Your Best Foot For-
ward.

Stephenson As Others Like
You.

Watson, New Standard Book
of Etiquette.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

There Are Balls and Balls But

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

Many were there with their

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

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

Organization Highlights

Here's to Veterans

The Veterans Club would like

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

Any veteran who has been dis-
charged for any reason other
Chan 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,
SSJiE-ownr 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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

ins ALL A MAnER OF TASTE

When you come right down to it, you
smoke for one simple reason . . . enjoy-
ment. And smoking enjoyment is all a
matter of taste. Yes. taste is what counts
in a cigarette. And Luckies taste better.

Two facts explain why Luckies taste
better. First, L.S./M.F.T. Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco . . . light, mild, good-
tasting tobacco. Second, Luckies are ac-
tually made better to taste better . . .
always round, firm, fully packed to draw
freely and smoke evenly.

So. for the enjoyment you get from
better taste, and only from better taste,
Be Happy Go Lucky. Get a pack or a
carton of better-tasting Luckies today.

of the best ways to get to stu-
dents is by means of the stu-
dent newspaper. In a student
newspaper, the students inter-
pret their ideas. The school ad-
ministrators and faculty mem-
bers, as well as the public, can
learn what the students think
through the expressions in a
newspaper.

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

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

tract a reader, it is advisable
to keep the arrangement simple.

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

It is obvious that the purpose
of a student newspaper should
be: II) to inform, (2) to inter-
pret, (3t to promote, and <4) to
record. A staff should always
endeavor to put its best foot for-
ward when issuing the official
student publication.

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

Think It Through

Savannah State College will
be host to the Press Institute.
April 1-2. High school, junior
high and college editors, news-
paper staff members, yearbook
staffs and faculty advisors will
be expected in large attendance.
The theme "Man's Right to
Knowledge and the Free Use
Thereof." will emphasize the
idea of some of the media
through which man expresses
himself. We can consider the
radio as one of the media for
expressing man's knowledge.
Through the influence of the
speaker's voice, stressing force-
ful persisting ideas, one can cre-
ate interest in important topics.
Interest in the gain of social
and political knowledge is large-
ly contributed to our society
by the newspapers and maga-
zines.

One of the most recent con-
tributions to free expression is
television; this column would be
incomplete without including it.
Television may be considered as
a combination of methods used
by the radio, newspapers and
magazines with the addition of
expressions through pictures.

We can see that man's right

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

The youth of today will be
tomorrow's leaders, politicians,
teachers, lawyers doctors and
clergymen. Youth should begin
immediately to develop creative
ti\inking and interest in work-
ing out scientific methods for
solving problems.

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

Keynotes to Success

Mary Lois Faison '54

The way to success in any-
thing is always an upward climb,
the down grade is always a flat
failure. In considering this mat-
ter, it will be well to remember
and bear constantly in mind,
tiiat it is easier to slide down-
hill than it is to climb up.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Making of
a Veteran

By DR. VERNON W. STONE
Inniinu-rabic requests have been
received for the publication of the
speech delivered by Dr. Stone in
Meldrim Auditorium. February 18.
l';.>4. The delivery was made uiiih-
mit benefit of copy: hence, the
hllowinp excerpt is edited.

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

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

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

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

Creative Tributes

JUST AN EXPRESSION
OF THOUGHT

Armanda Cooper '55
ir hile thinking of those ivho are
about to bid our dear old Alma Mater
adieu and enter into various fields of
labor, I thought that I would express
my sincere hope for them a successful
and prosperous future through the let-
ters oi the phrase, "Happy Easier."

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.

/Pi(/i these thoughts ever present in
your mind, they will eventually be
transmitted to the heart and soul. Then
surely your profession will be more
meaningful to you, to those you 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 darling, come

to me!

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

minds
And lovers steal kisses from

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

to me!

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.P.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.

riety Revue will be presented on

April 21. 1954. at 7:30 P.M. in

ticipants for the Revue have

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-

the trophy was won by the Sig-
ma Gamma Rho Sorority. AH
Greek-letter organizations are
urged to submit a complete ros-
ter to the Office of the Regis-

The Days
We Celebrate

THE DAYS WE CELEBRATE

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

During the month of March,
tlie 17th day is set aside as St.
Patrick's day, St. Patrick, the
patron saint of Ireland, has been
honored and the anniversary of
his death has been celebrated in
America from very early times.
This has become such a well-es-
tablished and joyous occasion
that even those who cannot
claim Irish ancestry join in
"wearin' o' the green" and pay-
ing respect to the immortal
shamrock.

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

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

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

'The Velvet Glove'

The Savannah State Dramatic
Group presented a play. "The
Velvet Glove," by Rosemary Ca-
sey, which kept the capacity au-
dience spell-bound. The play was
presented on March 11, 1954. in
connection with Religious Em-
phasis Week and certainly en-
hanced the success of the ac-
tivities for the religious program.

"The Velet Glove" is a comedy
in three acts and won first prize
in a play contest held by the
Catholic organization known as
"The Christophers." The story
concerns a young, male, history
teacher in convent school, who
is about to be fired because a
rich contributor to the church
objects to his liberal views; fi-
nally, the young radical is recon-
sidered because an even wealth-
ier lady refuses to make her
pledged contribution unless he
is taken back.

The characters displayed the
professional touch as they de-

pictcd the pleasures and sor-
rows of spiritual life. There was
an understandingly sympathet-

tremendous success.

ing its name: "This is my story

in keeping with the philosophy
and tradition of the school. In
the preparation of the copy, the
students have done everything
possible to follow the rules of
good craftsmanship and to make
the message clear, accurate, hon-
est and dignified."

The voice of student expres-
sion is judged by the impres-
sion it makes upon the reader.

In view of the important role
that the students play in form-

sary that they show evidence of
being well prepared in all phases
of their work.

Public relations is the sum to-
tal of everything we do. People
judge us by the impression we
make. The student newspaper,
in transmitting that impression,
is an important, if not the most
important, of all public relations
agencies.

living American history!

He sought one building in par-

Capitol Street, Later he stood

Its classical architecture, with
fluted columns capped by Co-
rinthian and Ionic motifs, fur-
nished the inspiration which
brought a lump to his throat.
He reverently looked upon it.
Yes. it was the Supreme Court
of the United States! Our Ne-
gro ^ei-vicep-ian recalled the
Dred Scott Case of 1846. Despite
the fact that the decision had
been rendered against this slave,
there were some recent, favor-
able rulings the higher-educa-
tional cases in the Southern
states, the interstate commerce
commission cases, and others. He
wondered about the impending
decision with respect to the
school segregation cases. What-
ever that decision would be. our
draftee demonstrated a studied
appreciation of the weighty
duties and responsibilities of the
justices of the Supreme Court.
His thinking on this matter
brought him emphatically to
the conclusion that the vari-
ous Negro cases had been
predicated on a common base.
That factor was thought to be
the Fourteenth Amendment:
.^11 persons born or naturalized
in the United States and
subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the Unit-
ed States and of the state where-
in they reside. No state shall
make or enforce any law which

m AU A MAHER OF TASTE

When you come right down to it, you
smoke for one simple reason . . . enjoy-
ment. And smoking enjoyment is all a
matter of taste. Yes, taste is what counts
in a cigarette. And Luckies taste better.

Two facts explain why Luckies taste
better. First L.S./M.F.T.- Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco . . . light, mild, good-
tasting tobacco. Second, Luckies are ac-
tually made better to taste better . . .
always round, firm, fully packed to draw
freely and smoke evenly.

So, for the enjoyment you get from
better taste, and only from better taste,
Be Happy Go Lucky. Get a pack or a
carton of better-tasting Luckies today.

Language Arts
Festival Held May 5-7

Sadie B. Carter, "55

The statewide High School Language Arts Festival was held
at Savannah State College May 5-7, 1954,

The main purpose of the annual conference is to develop greater
language competency among high school students. The program is
geared to stimulate students'
creative ability in language; to
improve language teaching
through the free, cooperative
exchange of ideas, information,
and materials among high school
teachers, consultants, and spon-
sors of the festival.

The Language Arts Festival is
planned as a learning activity as
well as an exhibition of talent.

Some of the main events that
took place were: verse writing,
creative prose writing, spelling,
oratory, current events discus-
sion, one-act stage plays, radio
skits, poetic interpretation, and
choral reading.

As an opportunity for teachers
to receive help with specific
problems in language teaching
and related activities, seminars
were planned in the following
areas: creative writing; the pro-
duction of radio skits and stage
plays; the teaching of oral lan-
guage; selectivity in radio, press,
television, and motion picture
offerings: poetic interpretation;
and the training of verse-speak-
ing choirs.

The 1954 festival was one of
the most interesting held at Sa-
vannah State College, The plan-
ning committee was headed by
Mrs, Louise L. Owens.

Tiger's Roar Wins Award

The Tiger's Roar, official pub-
lication of Savannah State Col-
lege student body, was awarded
second place by the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association at
Columbia University In its an-
nual contest which closed on
March 12. Clarence Lofton, jun-
ior, is editor-in-chief of the

We'll Need a Little Help

On Wednesday, April 28th, a
special noonday assembly was
called by President W, K. Payne
for the purpose of launching an
organized effort to clean and
maintain the campus grounds.
The President's plan was de-
tailed by Mr. Felix Alexis, Sup-
erintendent of Buildings and
Grounds. Approximately one-
half hour was allotted for the
paper-debris gathering. Start-
ling results were attained. Stu-
dents, faculty, and staff cooper-
ated as per expectations. There
is good reason to anticipate that
the idea will continue vigorously
in effect. Our current emphasis
is a phase of Governor Tal-
madge's statewide clean-up
campaign.

The old saying One thousand
people may pass while only one
may enter carries much truth.
Particularly is it applicable to
our present efforts.

Even the most distant visitor
has been heard to reaffirm the
beauty of the Savannah area.
As far as our campus is con-
cerned, there are few communi-
ties in the world on which Na-
ture has smiled so lavishly. On
every hand, the trees, the Span-
ish moss, the flowers, and the
contours bear witness to this
fact.

Who is to keep the campus
clean and thus voice approval of
God's handiwork? Obviously
those who enjoy the beauty and
who receive the credit for being
connected with the naturally
beautiful surroundings should
assume this task. Keeping the
campus 'jlean and attractive is
indeed minor, in comparison
with the creating of it. Should

the students aid in the mainte-
nance? the faculty? the staff?
Each response must be .an the
affirmative! Savannah State
College is our home. It is the
residence of a student for ap-
proximately four years, whether
he lives on or off campus. The
average number of years spent
in residence by faculty and staff
is considerably In excess of four
years. From the campus we de-
rive more than education on the
one hand and professional status
on the other. To it we are ob-
ligated to render more than
mere appreciation something
in accord with the benefits
reaped.

"What is your major?" A stu-
dent, selected at random, replies
proudly that he is in elementary
education. His training encom-
passes far more than the philo-
sophy of education, the curricu-
lum, and the psychology of
learning-teaching. Concomitant
learnings are continually influ-
encing our would-be professional

The Need For Leadership

The need for good leadership
among men has become increas-
ingly obvious in recent years.
The world is in need of qualified
people to take their places as
leaders, as guides or conductors
to steer their people to a safe
and profitable destiny. It is up
to us to prepare ourselves to
meet such a demand.

In considering preparation for
leadership, we are to be mind-
ful of the qualities sought in a
leader those qualities that
are essential for effective leader-
ship. Some of these qualities
are: the ability to think clearly
and logically, the ability to ac-
cept criticisms both good and
bad, a feeling of security, a sense
of responsibility, foresight,
thoughtfulness, respectfulness,
and freedom from prejudices.
Leadership also necessitates ed-
ucation. We must note that an
educated person is one who is
capable of doing the right thing J

The quali-"lple to safety

ties just mentioned are not
usually inherited, but are de-
veloped over a period of time by
special efforts.

As the leaders of tomorrow,
we should be mindful of our
responsibilities. The weight of
the world is thrust upon our
shoulders, not as scorn but be-
cause we are men and are looked
upon as the most efficient char-
acters in the field of leadership.

We should face life's problems
just as George Washington Car-
ver, Booker T, Washington.
Abraham Lincoln, Thomas
Paine. Ralph Bunche, and others
have done. These men had and
have courage and the will power
to go forward to make this
world a better place in which to
live. Now it is our task and
duty to launch out and do like-
wise. Are we willing to do our
part, meet the world's demand
for leadership, and steer our peo-

at the proper time.

Children's Progress At
Nursery School

Solomon Green, '55
During a recent observation of
the pre-school children at the
S.S.C. nursery school, we became
acquainted with many of the
children's developmental activi-
ties that are responsible for the
instilling of desirable social
behavior. Many activities are
designed to motivate better
learning also.

Miss Zella Owens, the teacher,
gives each child her personal at-
tention, understands each indi-
vidual, and has succeeded in
creating the type of environ-
ment which brings happiness to
everyone. The program is flex-
ible: therefore, it adapts itself
to each child's needs as well as
age. The children's ages range
from two to five.

Further, we found that the
children are being developed in
the following ways : socially.
they have learned to work and
play together and many are
striving for group approval;
mentally, the children are be-
coming more and mor*^ alert In
simple problem -solving and in
grasping nev/ ideas; emotionally,
the children are becoming more
friendly tov/ard othens and their

pent up emotions are released
through play activities, thus,
aiding them to control then-
tempers most of the time: phys-
ically, they are striving most
heartily for better muscle co-
ordintion and better motor
skills, the boys especially.

Savannah State College has a
promising future generation of
prospective football and basket-
ball players. We noticed some
good throwers, good punters.
and good catchers in this group.
The children are striving for
and developing greater accuracy
in their learning and social
skills.

Can You

Take It?

What do you do when your
errors are called to your atten-
tion?

ALIBI? Do you blame the er-
rors on others, on conditions out
of your control, or faulty orders?

ARGUE? Do you go on the de-
fensive and justify your work?

IGNORE? The best way to get
along Is to pay small attention

Current News

Thomas Evans, '55

The recent statement by Vice
President Nixon "If the situa-
tion demands it, the U. S. might
have to send troops to Indo-
Chlna" has set the entire Inter-
national news front aflare. Indo-
china Is crucial to the West be-
cause a communist take-over
there, by military or political
means, would increase commu-
nist prestige vastly and put them
at the gateway to all Southeast
Asia, As a result of Vice Presi-
dent Nixon's statement, the
question has arisen Is this "an-
other Korea?"

The European Defense Com-
munity Treaty is the keystone
of Western defense planning in
Europe. Last week in a flurry
action, obviously connected with
Secretary Dulles' trip. Britain
and the U. S. fulfilled the de-
mands made by France and the
French moved a step closer to-
ward setting a date for parlia-
mentary debate on the treaty,
E.D.C. provides for rearmament
of West Germany and integra-
tion of the West German force
together with forces of five West
European countries in a unified
command under NATO.

Delegates to the Georgia
Teachers and Education Associ-
ation convention, which con-
vened in Savannah. Georgia,
April 15-16, adopted a resolution
"to work assiduously for the de-
feat" of the proposed constitu-
tional amendment that would
permit the transference of the
state school system from public
to private hands. "This amend-
ment will be submitted to the
voters in the November elec-
tion," the resolution said, "and
this organization urges its mem-
bers to work assiduously for the
defeat of this amendment."

The national sports writers
have picked the Brooklyn
Dodgers and the New York
Yankees as winners of the Na-
tional and American League
pennants for 1954.

Creative Tributes

That's Love

Solomon Green '55
What's love? Define, I'll try to

do
It's hard, so true.
But if queerly he looks at you
And those lovely eyes, you look,

too,
Were he to go, you hope to die
That's love, you can't deny.

If in the spring, you sing
The blues that sadness brings.
And to see him you forget your

sadness
And are overshadowed with

gladness.
And in his arms you forget

everything,
That's love, that's love, darling.

The Road To A Career

Solomon Green, '55
From under the cloud the sun

comes shining
To brighten attitudes that have

long been pining
So look up colleagues!

Upon your faults continue

mending,
Upon S.S.C. continue depending,
We are within sight of fewer

hills and windings,

So be not discouraged or
fatigued.

To your friends continue send-
ing
Beautiful words of cheer
Be true, mistakes observing.
Commend others, when deserv-
ing.
And very soon your road is

curving
To success and a desirable
career.

by-products of the larger aspects
of the educational training pro-

embrace cleanhness, orderliness,
neatness, promptness, and other
factors. Such can be no better

clean, attractive, healthy cam-

teacher to become aware of the
desirable traits. In due time the
teacher's students will be favor-

traits. The elementary educa-

similarly cited. Savannah State

You don't have to go to school

will emerge a most peculiar kind

edge but you won't know how
to apply it.

We once met a man who could
do marvelous things witli figures.
For example, he could multiply
six digets by six digets in a frac-

President W. K. Payne receives the Columbia University Bi-
centennial Award being presented by Attorney Leon L. Polstein,
Columbia University representative. Attorney Polstein said. "Co-
lujnbia University awards this certificate of participation and ap-
pieclatlon to Savannah State College."

SSC Receives Columbia
U. Bicentennial Award

The Columbia University Bicentennial Award was presented to
fhe College by Attorney Leon L. Polstein. Columbia University
representative, and was received by Dr. William K. Payne, in as-
sembly, Wednesday. July 20.

Mr. Polstein stated that his purpose was to express to the
College family his sincere thanks and appreciation for their out-
standing and wholehearted co-

operation and participation in
the Bicentennial program.

He stated that this year
marked the celebration of Co-
lumbia University's Bicentennial.
The theme of the celebration,
selected by President Eisenhower
when he was serving as presi-
dent of the University, was
"Man's Right to Knowledge and
to the Free Use Thereof." To
help carry out this theme, Co-
lumbia invited educational Insti-
tutions, civic groups, fraternal
orders, business, and professional
groups throughout the nation to
join in the observance.

Savannah State, according to
Mr. Polstein, was one of the edu-
c ational institutions that went
all out for helping Columbia to
bring this stimulating and
fhought-provoking theme to
mciny people within the sphere
f^f its influence.

The speaker said that it was
his understanding that the cer-
tificate of participation and ap-
preciation being awarded was
the very first one to be presented
to an educational institution in
this region, comprising Georgia,
Florida, and Alabama,

The Bicentennial program, as
mapped out by the Columbia
University Scholastic Press Asso-
ciation and the Bicentennial
Committee, included six methods
^f participation. The five-star
certificate awarded Savannah
State indicated that the College
had participated in five of the
six areas. Participation included
Jhe following: (Da special edi-
tion of the SSC Bulletin, (2)
feature stories in local and na-

tional Negro newspapers. 1 3 )
forums held in connection with
statewide press institutions, (4)
editorials in the student news-
paper, The Tiger's Roar, and i5i
raoio programs over stations
WJIV and WDAR.

Mr, Polstein gave special trib-
ute to Wilton C. Scott, College
public relations director, and
consultant to the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association. Mr.
S::ott, according to the represen-
tative, was largely responsible
for SSC's earning the award. Mr.
Polstein acknowledged the work
of Miss Juanita Sellers, Advisor
to The Tiger's Roar. He also
thanked the faculty and the stu-
dents who participated in the
program.

Further remarks by Mr. Pol-
stein reiterated that the striking
significance of the Bicentennial
theme, selected at a time in the
affairs of the world when there
are those among us, both home
and abroad, who would deny or
limit man's God-given right to
seek knowledge and to use that
knowledge to make this a better
world in which to live, is chal-
lenging, the speaker said. He
further stated that this theme
was purposely chosen as a start-
ing point for free men of good
will to join in reasserting their
belief in freedom of thought and
knowledge, and in re-expressing
the fundamental principles on
which the nation was founded.

After receiving the award from
Mr. Polstein, Dr. Payne, in turn,
presented it to Mr. Scott, com-
mending him for the work he
has done.

Rev. Mzimba Speaks
On African Tour

By Paul L. Howard

Rev, Livingstone N. Mzimba,
B.A., S.T.B., was one of the guest
speakers here on June 22. Dur-
ing the absence of Dr. W. K.
Payne, Rev, Mzimba was intro-
duced by Professor T. C. Meyers,
dean of faculty.

The 69-year-old past modera-
tor of the Presbyterian Church
of Africa spoke from the subject
"What Africans Expect of Their
American Colored Brothers". He
said that the church has over
500.000 members but with the
help of the educated American
ministers, the number could be
doubled in a very short time.
The church is located in Alice.
South Africa, and has a member-
ship of between 800 and 1,000
"adherents", but it could be bet-
ter, he stated.

Putting religious institutions
along with educational institu-
tions, the Loncoln graduate said,
"we have only 63 ministers and
50 training schools. Each church
IS required to build a school."
He concluded by saying, "May
God bless you and keep you in
a feehng of brother's love in this
world community,"

Dr. Mzimba is visiting Lincoln
University, Pennsylvania, the
school from which he graduated
in 1906. Since that time he has
been engaged in the Pastorate
of the Presbyterian Church of
Africa.

He came to Lincoln in 1901,
after the first group of South
Africans who entered in 1896 had
done well. At Lincoln, Reverend
Mzimba was a member of the
Choir. He also sang in quartettes
and glee clubs, also solos. He
won a Bible prize in his senior
seminary year, and was one of
the three speakers in his class
during their graduation year.
Dr. Mzimba is still remembered
as one of the institution's most
famous football players.

While on SSC Campus, he
played host to most of the
classes. According to the Afri-
can head, the Elementary Work-
shop stimulated his interest more
than any other class.

Bowens Gives Types,
Uses, Future of AV Aids

By Paul L. Howard

William H, Bowens, director of the Audio-Visual Aids Center
stated in an Interview today that visual aids in teaching are often
combined with auditory or sound aids, as in the use of the talking
picture. Such combinations are called audio-visual aids,

Mr. Bowens stated that this complex communication task has
been going on for thousands of years. The cave men made use
of drawings on the sides of caves and on the bark of trees to In-
form their tellowmen. People used picture language before the
alphabet was devised.

On a national level, most vis-
ual aids in education are divided
into four classifications. The
natural type of aid includes
chemicals, plants, animals, spec-
imens from large subjects, and
mechanical instruments. The
pictorial type includes movies,
photographs, drawings, and
stereotypes. Schematic represen-
tation uses maps and miniature
models. The symbol, the fourth
type, utilizes charts, graphs, and
diagrams,

Mr. Bowens stated that his
program is divided into four
units; il) operations of ma-
chines, 1 2 ) production of AV
classroom usages, (3i philosophy
and research in audio-visual aids,
and (4) evaluation, utihzation,
and administration of audio-
visual materials.

The Director stated that the
process of securing a film re-
quired the filing of at least ten
papers that are already awaiting
liMng before a picture is shown
and placed back into the mail
tn its owner.

SSC Center Is Growing
and Expanding

The SSC Audio-Visual Aids
Center can be compared favor-

ably with any other center in
the country, stated Mr. Bowens.
He attended a meeting several
months ago in Virginia, where
leaders in the AV field agreed
that the SSC Center was among
the foremost. Mr, Bowens said
that the facilities are good and
the Center IS expanding rapidly.
The only problem existing at the
present is the lack of personnel
ro perform the many duties in-
volved in the work of the Center.

According to Mr. Bowens. one
of the most helpful aids to this
type of Instruction is the Ren-
shaw System of Recognition,
established by Samuel Renshaw
of Ohio State University.

Educators believe that visual
education in the near future will
have more to offer. Mr. Bowens
declared. "Anyone who takes a
course in AV aids becomes a
better teacher and is able to
plan work in advance. Through
this, their program will be more
interesting, attractive, and ef-
fective."

Science Class
Makes Tour

Members of the class in
Science for Elementary Teachers
made a tour of the Oatland
Island Center, June 22,

The forty-member class was
divided into two groups, each
with a guide for the tour of the
Center. According to informa-
tion given in the preliminary
remarks concerning the project,
the Teclmical Communicable Di-
sease Center deals with diseases
transmitted by animals. The
Center is divided into four main
sections: Biological Section,
Equipment Development. Toxic-
ology Section, and Chemistry
Section.

Special observance of experi-
ments being conducted high-
lighted the tour. One such ex-
periment involved the feeding
of D.D.T, to monkeys. Results
of the experiment revealed that
it is possible for monkeys to be-
come immune to D.D.T,

C. V. Clay, instructor of the
class, arranged the tour.

THE ELEMENTARY WORKSHOP IN MONEY DISPLAY The

Ihe first Summer Session at Sa-
vannah State College had as its
theme, "Making Adequate Pro-
visions Essential to Effective
Learning Through Effective
Teaching."

The Workshop centered its unit
planning on the "Money We
Use". Much research work was
done in order to secure informa-
tion on American coins and cur-
rency.

There were forty-eight teach-
ers enrolled in the workshop.
They were divided into groups
according to their interests. The
Social Studies and Upper Read-
ing groups were supervised by
Mrs. Donella G. Seabrook. The
Arithmetic, Science, and Fine
Arts groups were supervised by
Miss Thelma Brown.

Wednesday, July 7, the Ele-
mentary Workshop presented a
program entitled, "Money We
Use".

The group was concerned with
the use of money in the school
lunchroom, the school band and
the Red Cross. The group was
presented with a representation
of coins and bills and a money
exhibit.

The program was narrated by
Mrs. Georgia Floyd Johnson,
chairman of the workshop and
program committee.

Another feature of the group
was the open house program
which was presented July 12,
in Powell Laboratory school.

Serving as faculty consultants
were: Miss Juanita Sellers. Lan-
guage Arts; Miss Sylvia Bowen,

The Road to Success

Success is the attainment of
a proposed objective. In order
to be successful one must liave
in mind a specific goal.

Some people are satisfied at
just getting by; others make
careless choices. But be mind-
ful of these and other errors,
and don't jeopardize your op-
portunity for success by careless
choices on your part. Don't be
like the flowers that grow in the
woods, live, and let their sweet
fragrance mingle with the in-
visible atmosphere and die with-
out being discovered. Make your
abilities known, seize every op-
portunity that presents itself and
prepare in every area possible.
One can not specialize in just
one thing, wait for an oppor-
tunity In that special field, and
be successful. It is good to spec-
ialize, but dont be a slave to
specialization. You will have to
crawl before you can walk un-
less you are helped to your feet
by someone else.

Tlie road to success is not
known by anyone, but sign posts
have been placed along the ways
of life to guide you. These posts
are your parents, ministers,
teachers, social organizations,
etc. In conclusion my advice is.
let them guide you. but don't
be a slave to guidance; press
forward and success will be
yours.

Home Study Effective

Don't stop because you cannot
pay your way In school and work
to support a family. Learn some-
thing about the new develop-
ments in correspondence educa-
tion. During the past 60 years,
correspondence education or
home study has become one of
the most important approaches
to adult education. Today, more
people enroll in home-study
courses each year than enter
the freshman classes of all our
colleges and universities. Most
of these are adults seeking to
satisfy their hunger for educa-
tion in the most direct way pos-
siblethrough individual study.

As the adult education move-
ment grows, home study will
grow with it. The more educa-
tion a person has. the more he
wants; and home study provides
certain unique advantages. As
one of the most flexible and
least expensive of adult educa-
tion approaches, home study can
be started at any time, pursued
on any schedule, move with a
mobile population, and perform
its function In peace or war.

Home study is adapting to
principles of lifelong learning.
It Is already possible, after fin-
ishing courses from some schools,
to receive a steady flow of in-
formational materials carefully
prepared by experts to help one
keep on the growing edge of his
occupation.

Summer Reading Choices

From the President's Desk

Attending summer school has in the past been considered an
additional or extra mile. Everyone enrolled in summer school was
supposed to be there because he wanted to meet certain require-
ments which were a part of his definite program of advancement.
In practically no case did one attend summer school for the pur-
pose of being in style and keepmg up with his associates. It seemed
that all were seeking education which could contribute to their
living or their proposed programs. Some educators often remarked
that those attending summer school were seeking education in the
true meaning of tlie term.

It Is interesting to note that in every age or era, education has
been singled out as basic and significant to living. This has been
true of both formal and informal systems of education. From time
to time the critics have attacked the educational system in terms
of its real values and contributions to problems of Ufe. While the
criticisms have not always been entirely valid, they served the
Important function of directing and initiating studies of evalua-
tion that lead to modification. This seems to be an inevitable
procedure in a changing society. Wherever change is rapid, there
must be reorganization and redirection of the educational programs
and processes.

The willingness of students and teachers to reorganize their
thinking and their procedures by attending summer school is of
great significance. In such a system there is provision for the
youth who are becoming influential and the adults who have gained
stability. Summer schools have been one of the foremost agencies
in promoting critical thinking about the schools of today. The
students and teachers who liave studied here at Savannah State
College during the 1954 summer session have had rich opportunities
to gain insight into our educational processes as they are related
to our society. The views and opinions gained will continue to
operate and provide the stimuli needed to modify individual educa-
tional programs and participation in the development of a better
program of education.

When educational programs promote thinking and evaluation,
they are providing sound education for any type of society. Those
who endure the heat and put forth special effort to study set the
scene for thinking. In such a situation one often wonders about
the value of the studies he is pursuing. Frequently he asks him-
self if the effort is worth what he is achieving. Attempting to
answer such questions for one's self takes the individual into the
realm of reasoning. This type of mental activity taking place in
many phases of the individual's living strengthens the power to
attack and solve problems.

Man o the Hour

Wilton C. Scott, director of
Public Relations, is considered
the "Man of the Hour" here at
Savannah State College.

Through his strong belief In
public relations, during the past
several years hundreds of stu-
dents have gone into or taken
some direct interest in the ever-
growing field of Journalism,

While away attending gradu-
ate school at New York Univer-
sity. Mr. Scott left Mrs. Gwen-
dolyn L, Bass, full-time secre-
tary, Mr. Paul L. Howard, Sr.,
graduate and former editor of
The Tiger's Roar and now editor
of the Summer Edition of The
Tiger's Roar, and Mr. John Paul
Jones, an up-comlng free lance
writer, in charge of the Public
Relations Office. Through the

full cooperation of th workers,
the Public Relations Office has
been keeping the public well-
informed during both sessions.

Mr. Scott is aware of the fact
that no college can advance, in
the eyes of the public, without
a good working Public Relations

By Miss Madeline Harrison
Books can help you enjoy a
better vacation. There are so
many idle hours when a good
book will add to your vacation
pleasure. Very often you have
time after meals, between swims.
at bedtime. So be sure to have
several good books handy wheth-
er you go away on a vacation or
stay in your own backyard.

For the sixth summer The
Saturday Review asked book edi-
tors of the leading newspapers
of the nation to name the new
books which they believe merit
reading. According to this poll
of 26 critics the two novels most
likely to please are The Doll-
maker by Harriette Arnow and
Sweet Thursday by John Stein-
beck. Gertie Nevels, who is the
"dollmaker" of this novel, is a
woman of the Kentucky hills.
Slie is sensitive, courageous and
understanding, but she has had
very little formal education. She
is especially talented in carving
figures from wood. When Gertie
leaves her Kentucky surround-
ings to join her husband in De-
troit, she finds that city life is
often bitter and cruel. The book
is not an easy one to read as
much of the conversation is in
dialect, but the story is a very
sincere and moving one.

Those of you who are avid
fiction readers are probably al-
ready familiar with Jolin Stein-
beck's Grapes of Wrath, Tortilla
Flat and Cannery Row. In his
new work, Sweet Thursday, Mr,
Steinbeck returns to the scene
of Cannery Row. Here are the
same local institutions the Bear
Flag Restaurant, Lee Cheng's
grocery store, the Western Bio-
logical Laboratories. And some
of the people are the same. But
the nev/ ingredient is Suzy,
fresh off a Greyhound Bus.
equipped with a battered suit-
case, a lipstick, a good figure
and eighty-five cents. Against
this background Steinbeck spins
a yarn that has some satire and
philosophy.

If you like the historical novel,
Daphne Du Maurier and Taylor
Campbell have new offerings
which may interest you, Du Mau-
rier's Mary Anne is a biograph-
ical novel about the author's
great - great - grandmother, a
woman whose life was not
bound by scruples, Mary Anne
deserted a worthless husband at
25, and later became the mis-
tress of the Duke of York. Tak-
ing advantage of the Duke's po-
sition as commander-in-chief of
the army, Mary Anne did a lu-
crative business selling commis-
sions in the army. What hap-
pened to her when the scandal
broke makes a fascinating story.
In Never Victorious, Never De-
feated, Mrs, Caldwell is again
concerned with robber barons
and empire building. The story
is of the DeWitt family who
owned the Pennsylvania Inter-
state Railroad. The time of the
action covers the 100 years from
the administration of Andrew
Jackson to 1935. Both drama and
suspense are found here.

If your mood is a gay one and
you want something light, try
Edward Streeter's Mr. Hobbs'
Vacation. If you enjoyed Fa-
ther of the Bride, then you will
not want to miss this one. Mr.
Hobbs. a reasonable, successful
businessman, has been looking
forward to his vacation with
eagerness. And so has Mrs.
Hobbs. She selected, sight un-
seen, a large, old house by the
sea. Why? So that their mar-
ried daughters, their peculiar
husbands and the three grand-
children may vacation there also.
The result is general chaos and
a hilarious and heartwarming
story.

For a high-spirited account of
travels In Europe, written in an
amusing manner, don't overlook
Emily Kimbrough's Forty Plus

and Fancy Free. Miss Kimbrough
and three other youthful grand-
mothers decided to take a hoU-
day in Europe. Their original
plans were sound enough a visit
to the traditional places, meals
at the usual restaurants, and
even time out for study, But
what actually happens is most
unexpected and very humorous.
The account is filled with laugh-
ter, anecdote and entertaining
information.

If the heat gets you down, and
it's just one of those days, try
these for a spiritual boost: The
Mind Alive by Harry and Bonaro
Overstreet is guaranteed to im-
prove your emotional well-being.
The authors use numerous illus-
trations to prove that it is nec-
essary that one realize his own
limitations and work to improve
himself in spite of them. In his
Way to Happiness, Fulton J
Shean has a series of inspiring
articles which he hopes will
bring liis reader solace, hope,
truth, goodness and strength. He
beUeves that every man wants
three things for himself life, for
always with no aging or disease
to threaten it; truth, with no
forced choices to be made, and
love, not mixed with hatred and
with no time limit. Daniel Pol-
ing's Faith is Power for You tells
of the author's personal experi-
ences with prayer and how
prayer has concretely helped
men and women in their hour
of need.

So whether you travel by land
or by air. if you are at the sea-
shore, in the mountains, or in
the hammock in your own back-
yard, be sure you have a few
good books nearby. You have
no idea how well they can fill
in the time when you are lost
for something to do.

The Little Things

By
Georgia Floyd Johnson

Pride not yourself for lofty

heights
But for how many friends you've

made.
Strive not to see your name in

lights
But on the bill marked "Paid".

It's the little things in life you'll

find
That make you great or small.
It's those things that bring peace

of mind
That lift you and prevent your

fall.

Today you may stand out in the

crowd,
Socially prominent, boasting of

wealth.
Tomorrow you'll hear them

shouting, proud
To say, "Ole Joe has lost his

health."

So think much of your fellow-
man.

Of dogs that bark and the bird
that sings.

Think of each creature as doing
the best he can

And above all. remember the
little things.

Business Courses
Offered - Summer

by
William S. Jackson

The Business Department is
very active in spite of the new
low enrollment throughout the
nation. This is the second time
since 1948 that business courses
were offered. The courses of-
fered in the first session are:
Business Writing, Elementary
Shorthand, and Typing. The
same courses were offered both
sessions, with Business Writing
replacing Business Law.

There are 18 students enrolled
in Business Writing, and 25 in
Typing and Shorthand. Other
courses are offered on demand.
In Business Laboratory Practice
are: M. Herman Terry. Johnnie
P. Jones, and Florence Bisord
and in Secretarial Science Prac-
tice is Roberta Glover.

Robert C. Long. Assistant
Professor of Business Adminis-
tration, spoke on "The Place of
Business Administration in Sec-
ondary Schools", for the Secon-
dary Workshop during the first
summer session. Mr. Long is a
Notary Pubhc and Publicity Rep-
resentative of the National Edu-
cation Society of which the New
Standard Publishing Company is
the .sponsor. He is offering a
unique plan for educators and
professional men and women.

The group upon its arrival at
the base was guided by Lieu-
tenant Tibby. Colonel Watklns
gave a short lecture on Strategic
Air Command to the Savannah
State students in an air-condi-
tioned theater.

It was interesting to note the
combat air force that America
has. The original base started
in Omaha. Nebraska nd spread
throughout the United States.

The cost of a B-47 jet bomber
is 45 million dollars. The great-
est problem that the S.A.C. has
is enlistments. Another inter-
esting story came from Lieuten-
ant Derrier. He said that it is
his duty to see that everyone has
been thoroughly examined before
receiving admittance to the base.

Sgt. J. Edward Kohl is director
of the survival school of the

The nerve center of the Air
Force, it is said, is the weather
bureau. It was interesting to
note that Montgomery. Alabama
is the controlling center for the
South, while Jacksonville. Flor-
ida is the controlling center of
traffic highways of the air. From
those two points, pilots are bet-
ter able to fly certain routes
without having accidents.

Other points of Interest shown
to the visiting group were the
Post Exchange, swimming pool,
barracks, and the Officers Club.
Pictures were taken of the group
at the survival school.

The trip to Hunter Air Force
Base was made possible by the
Student Activities Committee
and Wilton C. Scott, director of
Public Relations at Savannah
State College.

Trades and Industries in Review

By Levj N.

The industrial program at Sa-
vannah State College continues
to be one of the outstanding
fields of study on the campus.
Students seeking pre-occupa-
tlonal training make a wise
choice In selecting one or more
of the various fields of study of-
fered under the Industrial Edu-
cation Program.

Automotive Repair, Body and
Fender, under the instruction of
Mr. Leroy Brown, is being offered
during the simnmer as well as
during the regular school term.
A large number of veterans find
interest in this field and have
found that the training they re-
ceive prepares them successfully
for a suitable occupation after
leaving school.

Shoe Repairing is taught joint-
ly with Leathercraft, a course
more recently added to the In-
dustrial Education Program, but
which Is rapidly gaining interest
among students from all of the
departments. Students enrolled
in this course are taught to op-
erate machines necessary in shoe
repairing, the principles of de-
signing leather, and are given a
general knowledge of the con-
struction of different kinds of
shoes and of all types of leather
work. Handbags, billfolds, and
wallets, made by men and wom-
en, can be seen from time to
time exhibited in the Adminis-
tration Building.

An extensive program in Ra-
dio Repair is also ofTered at Sa-
vannah State College, The fun-
damental principles of radio are
taught in this course, plus the
technical and practical opera-
tions necessary in making radio
repairs.

Electrical maintenance, car-
pentry, general woodwork, cab-
inet-making, and masonry are
several other courses ofTered un-

How to Make A
Gardenia Corsage

By George Johnson

So you are planning to take
your sweetheart to the formai.
Instead of buying a corsage fol-
low these simple rules and save
money.

To make a gardenia corsage, it
is necessary to purchase the
following items: 2 gardenias, 1
roll of floral tape, 5 pieces of
thin wire (12 inches long) and
4 yards of ribbon

First wire the gardenias by
placing a wire through the bulb
of each flower, the end to which
the petals are attached. Wrap
this wire tightly around the stem
of the flower.

Take three pieces of fern and
arrange them in a fan shape and
wire them together by wrapping
a piece of wire to the ends of
the stems, leaving enough for
later u.c.\

Now with the remainder of the
wire at the end of the fern, at-
tach one gardenia. Pull the wire
tight enough to hold the flower
in position. Be sure that the
flower stem is longer than the
fern.

Make another fan of fern as
in paragraph 4 and attach it to
the end of the flower stem. Lay
the other gardenia on this and
fasten as in paragraph 5 with
the flower facing the opposite
direction.

Cover all visible wiring and
rough spots with the floral tape.

Make a bow of 12 loops. 6 on
each side, wire it. The color
should match the lady's dress or
accessories. Place this in the
space between the blooms. Make
this secure by wiring.

The Veterans Counselor
Says . . .

By Nelson

One of the biggest problems
facing Korean veterans through-
out the nation today is the fas6
approaching cut-off deadline for
those veterans who were dis-
charged prior to August 20. 1952.
The law. as is currently in ef-
fect, specifically states that vet-
erans must initiate a course of
training within two years after
separation from active military
duty. This means, of course.
that veterans who do not apply
for educational benefits and are
actually enrolled and pursuing a
course of education and training
will forfeit all educational bene-
fits to which they may be en-
titled. Of Interest to all Korean
veterans is a bill now pending
before Congress. HR 9395. which
would extend for two years the
period in which Korean veterans
can apply for GI Bill training
benefits. If passed, and there is
not even a shadow of a doubt
that it will not, this measure
would give Korean veterans the
same period of time starting and
finishing training as awarded
World War II veterans four
years from date of discharge to
begin training and nine years
for completion. If this bill is
passed before August 20, 1954,
the earliest cut-off deadline will
be moved up from August 20,
1954 to August 20, 1956.

Korean veterans who were
separated from the armed forces

R. Freeman

before July 16. 1952, and who
have not received mustering-
out payments have only until
July 16, 1954, to apply. Muster-
ing-out pay applications are
available at the nearest military
or naval installation.

Somewhere down the line it
seems that Korean veterans are
not getting accurate information
regarding their financial obliga-
tions to training institutions
When an institution is approver!
by the State Approving Agenc:-
and the Veterans Administra
tion, this means that Korear
veterans are entitled to recelv-
educational benefits from thes-
institutions. The Veterans Ad-
ministration, however, does no
make any itind of contract wlti
these institutions for the pay-
ment of tuition and other fee
for Korean veterans^unless th
veteran is disabled and is enter
ing school under the provision
of Pubhc Law 894. All othe
Korean veterans have to pa;
their own tuition and other fee:,
due and payable at the time o'
registration. The Veterans Ad-
ministration will reimburse th
veteran in the form of monthl
subsistence. We find this to b
a very Important item as 95'
of the veterans who report fo -
registration expect to have thei
fees and tuition paid by th
Veterans Administration.

Profile of Chopin

By Julius E.

Chopin, the poet-genius of the
piano, has sung through that
instrument the tragedy of Eng-
land, his mother's land, and on
It he played with the beauty
and sweetness of France, his
father's land.

Of all who wrote for the piano.
Chopin represents in his music
the spirit of the keyboard. His
music could not have been ex-
pressed in any other medium.

In fact his music is so en-
chanting that it has become the
source of many popular songs.

The movies have found Cho-
pin's music most ideal for creat-
ing moods of romance and vivid
pictures.

Born in Warsaw in 1810, Cho-
pin lived half of his life in Paris,
but his sympathy toward his be-
loved Poland moved this gentle
soul to proud defiance, expressed
superbly in the epic and dra-
matic poetry of his art,

Chopin enjoyed good company
and in return he was universally

Reeves. Jr.

loved. The music he made wa?
suitable for the drawing room-.?
and salons of the rich and grert
of his time.

When he was twenty-one, Che -
pin met the great French nove -
ist, George Sand, who was S' <
years older. In contrast to th -
delicate and ailing pianist, San ;
was a dynamo who became thr
most prolific and controversi: i
woman author of her time. Biu
such is the mysterious magne-
tism of art that the two feil
deeply in love.

Remember Chopin, master pi-
anist and composer, whenevi r
you hear someone play one i f
his songs or when you yoursel .
perhaps, sing "I'm Always Chat-
ing Rainbows."

The key to the success of the
tutorial program at Hampton is
recorded in a booklet entitled:
A Guide for Tutors. In this book-
let Dean Thomas E. Hawkins
wrote: To do a thorough tutor-
ing job, you must develop tech-
nique which will make it possi-
ble for you to help the student
when he presents his study prob-
lem to you.

The following techniques are
suggested:

I. Gain a thorough knowledge
of the subject you are tutoring.

2. Help the student to de-
velop the right attitude toward
his studies.

3. Talk with teachers of the
students whom you tutor to as-
certain the students major study
difficulties.

4. Stimulate students to gain
confidence in their ability to
eliminate the feeling of inferior-
ity.

5. Organize brief study ses-
sions for the students in your
gi'oup who have similar study
difficulties.

6. Ask provocative questions
of the student being tutored to
encourage him to discuss his
Pioblem freely.

7. Make suggestions about
student habits which you have
found to be effective.

8. Teach the student the
principles involved in finding
solutions to problems, but do not
work out assignments for him.

9. Help the student to diag-
nose the errors he makes In ex-
aminations.

The Big Job

There is now, has been in the
past, and will continue to be
in the future, a job which needs
to be done. This job becomes
bigger and bigger as time passes.
Because it takes the coopera-
tion of the entire student body
to get this job done, it lias re-
maind untouched. But now is
the tim for us to wake up and
realize that we. the students of
Savannah State College, are
cutting off our noses to spite our
faces when we fail to tackle the
"big job."

The big job facing us Is
"School Spirit." What has hap-
pened to us, our love, our loyal-
ty, and respect for our school,
our Alma Mater? The manner
in which we walk around the
campus day and night, week in
and week out with our heads
held high, thinking only of self-
advancement, does not make us
typical college students of this
age. Instead, it proves that
somewhere along the way we
have got the wrong idea or the
wrong impression of the role of
educated people. It proves fur-
ther that we are not able to
value the worth of our status
our accomplishments and
achievements.

Fellow students, if we want
the best, then we must put our

best foot forward, We must help
those who are trying to do some-
thing to promote our interests.
We should give our representa-
tives our best support, show
that we are willing to do our
parts by cooperating whole-
heartedly. Don't leave it up to
a few to do everything there is
to be done. YOU ARE IMPOR-
TANT. YOU COUNT, AND YOU
ARE THE ONE!

Stop and think. Just what
prdicament would our school be
in if those who are taking an
active part in our school activi-
ties would take the attitude we
have taken? That is. the don't
car attitude. What would our
college be like? What would we
be like? We would be the first
to babble out "we need a school."
Yet, "we" are the ones who have
failed to show interest and have
failed to do our part.

First of all, let us try to see
the whole not just the part. Let
us see oursleves as we see oth-
ers. Let us say as one writer has
said. "I am only one, but I am
one. I cannot do everything, but
I can do something. What I can
do. I ought to do; and what I
ought to do, by the grace of
God I will do."

Will YOU do YOUR PART?
We need School Spirit."

Why Are You Here?

By Doris Sanders
Has the thought ever occurred
to you, just why are you here?
Has it ever dawned upon you
that you are here at somebody
else's expense? Have you ever
stopped to wonder why daddy
failed to buy that new overcoat
this year or why mother is still
wearing those same wornout
shoes? Someone has sacrificed
something for you. Someone is
responsible for your being here.
Why are you here? Because
someone knows the value of
higher education. You are here
to learn, mentally and morall.
You are here to learn all you
can about everything you can.
You are here, not to be satisfied
in just passing or getting by. but
to excel and extend yourself.
You are here because In an age

like this, education is indispen-
sable. You must have educa-
tion in order to cope with prob-
lems now. and in later life.

You must qualify yourself to
do a good job. For a teacher
who is well-informed, alert, and
well-prepared, is never afraid to
face his class. And only those
individuals who are well-in-
formed will secure the jobs.
What you should do, is to begin
now preparing yourselves, not to
shrink from, but to accept this
challenge.

And as the school year contin-
tinues to grow shorter and short-
er. I hope to see in each of you,
the spirit of learning exempli-
fied. Do your best and be your
best at all times. Prepare your-
selves now, for the challenges
of tomorrow,

Why We Celebrate Thanksgiving

By Elizabeth Jordan

"Let us give thanks." Many
of us lose the real significance
of thLs national day. Thanks-
giving Day, because we are not
familiar with its origin and we
do not feel the real value of the
word, "thanksgiving."

Thanksgiving Day is a nation-
al religious festival celebrated

on the same day throughout the
country. It dates from 1863. Mrs.
Sarah J. Hale has been given
credit for bringing this about.
In 1827. while editor of the
Ladles' Magazin In Boston, .she
urged the observance of a uni-
form day throughout the coun-
try for the expression of thanks
throughout the year. Mrs. Hale

A Look Into
The News

Current News Analysis
By Ronald T. Evans

At the very early part of this
month the American people went
to the polls and elected a demo-
cratic Congress to guide the
destiny of the nation for the
next two years. There is no
doubt in the minds of many
what factors are responsible for
the defeat of the very popular
Republican party of 1952, headed
by Dwight D. Eisenhower.

It is the belief of this reporter
that several factors contributed
to the defeat of the G. O. P.,
among which party solidarity
ranks foremost a sa factor. Since
the victory of 1952 there has been
a struggle between the Taft
groups, the Dewey groups, the
liberal Republicans and the Mc-
Carthy crowd. However, there
are other factors which contrib-
uted such as II 1 the farm pol-
icy. (2) the McCarthy hearings,
which certainly brought no
credit to the party, and (3) un-
employment.

Sundown

In the heaven above at sundown.
The moon is shining in all its

And the stars twinkle in the

At sun down.
All creatures of the earth are^

And there is never a sound of

As the dew sends down its mois-

To feed the flowers so fragrant

On October 3, 1863, President
Lincoln issued a national
Thanksgiving Proclamation, set-
ting apart the last Thursday
in November as the day to be ob-
served. In some localities re-
ligious services are held In
churches and afterwards the
people gather around to bounte-
ous feasting and praising God.

As we approach this day let
us be mindful of its surround-
ing significance. Let us, too, like
the pilgrims of long ago, give
thanks unto God for, "His mer-
cy is everlasting and His truth
endureth through all genera-
tions."

Resources

Modern man is constantly in
search of supplies and materials
which he may use to develop his
ideas and ideals. The search in
the physical world has been ob-
vious and dramatic. The hunt
for uranium reminds one of the
days of the "gold rush". The
search in the field of the social
sciences has been persistent,
though less dramatic. This is
true, perhaps, because much of
the materials required for the
solution of social and personal
problems can be found in the
minds of individuals. The ma-
terials required to answer ques-
tions and solve problems in this
area must be identified in what
many have had to say. The
hunting grounds for these ma-
terials lie in books, magazines,
and other forms of written com-
munication.

During the month of November
American colleges, along with
other institutions of our society,
observe two national weeks
American Education Week and
National Book Week. During
American Education Week many
were concerned about our schools,
their financial support and their
contribution to the American way
of life. National Book Week,
which followed American Educa-
tion Week, was dh-ectly related
to all of the materials discussed
in each. In fact, many individ-
uals think of books primarily in
terms of schools and colleges.
The much broader concept of
books and written materials as
resources for answers and solu-
tions to individual and group
problems is less widespread. Such
a limited concept of books con-
stantly restricts the growth and
achievement of the individuals
out of school, either as dropouts
or graduates, as well as that of
students in college.

A little study on what one may
find in books and magazines will
reveal a serious neglect of vital
resources within the reach of
every college student. The ma-
terials which students need to
educate themselves can be found
in abundance in books and
magazines. If one wishes to
strengthen his motive for at-

tending college; if one wishes to
gain inspiration; if one wishes
to acquire a point of view or a
philosophy of life; if one wishes
to discover the things which have
been worthwhile and significant
in our society and culture; if
one wishes information and facts
in any general or specific field
if one wishes to find help for
personal and social adjustment
one can discover any one or all
of them in the books and peri-
odicals in which other individ-
uals have expressed themselves
It is probably not an overstate-
ment of fact to say that this is
one of the most neglected re-
sources which college students
possess. The Bible and the dic-
tionary probably constitute the
two books which are used most
frequently. These two books, I
am told by scholars in the field,
do not yield anything like the
contribution which the average
individual ought to receive from
each. These two books, like
many others, should contribute
in a larger manner to one's hv-
ing and learning.

In my classes in general psy-
chology, it was customary for
the students to read and report
on the psychological novels which
were written each year. In this
way. many students were intro-
duced to an area of literature
which had special values for
them personally. In a similar
manner, every field of study ia
college is related to a body of
literature, current and past,
found in the libraries and in the
bookstores. Growth in living and
learning can be greatly extended
through the utilization of such
resources. The college student of
today is expected to acquire the
habits, skills, and motivation
needed to exploit the resources
that lie in materials whicli have
been written in the form of
books, magazines, and papers.
The reactions of minds with
various backgrounds will produce
new thoughts, ideas, and goals
of achievement. The creativity
much sought to make our world
livable, can be expected to arise
from such a medium of inter-
action.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

November, 1954-

svou

By J:imes O'Neil
The Tigers' homecoming was
spoiled by Alabama State, 39-0.
Before a homecoming crowd
of approximately 3.000 fans at
Savannah State College Athletic
Field, the Alabama State Hor-
nets of Montgomery. Alabama,
downed the Savannah State Tig-
ers by a score of 39-0. The visi-
tors took a commanding lead of
19-0 by half time and scored 20
more points in the last half to
take the victory back to Mont-
gomery.

After receiving the kick off,
the Alabama State Hornets mov-
ed the ball down to Savannah's
4 yard line in 5 plays, only to
have the ball taken by the Tigers
on downs. After failing to move
the ball, the Tigers kicked out
to their own 35 yard line. On
the first play, William Stokes,
Alabama State star quarterback,
passed to halfback Otis Leftwich
for their touchdown. The try
for the extra failed as Stokes
tried going through the center
of the line.

After the second quarter, the
Hornets began to take to the air,
wnich proved to be too much for
the Tigers. Tlie outstanding
players for Savannah were
James Willis, E, Z. McDaniel
and Robert Dulaney. Alabama
State was led by William Stokes,
Jappie Carnegie and William
Gray,

ed to the Tigers' 54 yard line In
five plays. Unable to gain more
yards on the ground, quarterback
McArthur took to the air and hit
Sanders with a 35 yard pass. On
the next play, halfback Shields
ran the remaining 10 yards for
their fnst touchdown.

The Tigers scored their only
touchdown in the fourth period
when lialfback Robert Butler
went back in punt formation and
passed to end L. J. McDaniel
for 60 yards. On the next play

for 6 points. This was the first
time the Tigers scored on Be"-
thume since the days of Savan-
nah State's All-American Rob' rt

Tigers Defeated By

Rams, la-b

The Albany State Rams han-
ded Savannah State their fifth
loss of the season as the Tigers
were defeated 15-6 at Albany,
Ga. Savannah State threatened
to score in the first two minutes
of the game when halfback Rob-
ert Butler ran 58 yards to the
Rams' 30 yard line, only to have
the play called back when an off
side penalty was called against
the Tigers. The first half ended
with neither team being able to
score. With neither team being
able to score on the ground, both
teams took to the air in the last
half with Albany State drawing
the first blood when halfback
Robret Nelson passed 34 yards to
end, Morris Williams for a touch-
down. Th extra point was good
and gave the Rams a 7-0 third
quarter lead. The Rams scored
a safety on the Tigers when Rob-
ert Butler's kick was blocked in
the end zone. The Rams scored
their last touchdown when Nel-
son passed to Glenn for a 30-
yard touchdown. The try for
the extra point was blocked.
With only six minutes left in the
game. The Savannah State Ti-
gers began to use their passing
combination from Butler to Col-
lier which proved to be the Tig-
ers' number one offense weapon.
After the Tigers took over the
ball on their 15 yard line. But-
ler passed to Ford for 15 yards.
On the next play, again it was
Butler who passed to Collier for
a touchdown, the play covering
60 yards. Th try for the extra
point was blocked. The out-

HAPPY NEW YEAR

From the Staff

Greetings from the Student Council Box

By Curtis V. Cooper

We are rapidly approaching the yuletide season when all of us
will pause from our daily chores to pay tribute to the miracle of
Bethlehem.

Christmas is a time for joy, it is a time when all of our burdens
should be Hfted. Our hearts should be filled with the spirit of giving.
and a new look toward our tasks should be assumed.

America Is a wonderful place, and we hope that, in spite of the
opposing forces of the worlld. we will be able to keep it that way.
This is a land of freedom, of good will, of future, and of inspiration
for the oppressed. In this land we know and observe the true mes-
sage of that most wonderful star that shined in the east, signifying
that God the creator of all had given men a savior who would
reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords forever.

Let us join hands with the people of this country, and the peo-
ples of the world in paying respect to the greatest gift in the history
of the world.

Let us this Christmas season make noble and liberal contribu-
tions to CARE, to the United Community Fund, to the Cancer Fund.
to the Tuberculosis campaign, to our churches, to the YMCA, and
YWCA, and to those persons in our communities and those abroad.
Who are in need of our aid. We urge both students and faculty
members to accept this challenge. And, with this challenge, we hope
you will remember the savior's message that It Is better to give than
to receive.

We certainly hope that this Christmas will be one of the mer-
riest you have ever known. And when you return In '55, may your
new year be filled with happiness and achievement here at the
college.

Christmas, A Triangle

As we think in terms of ob-
serving Christmas, suppose we
think of the observance from a
three-fold point of view or from
a triangular point of view.
Three-fold, because there are
three main elements with vary-
ing degrees of importance.

The first element is sacred-
ness. Sacred, because it is the
birthday of our supreme being,
Jesus Christ, The second ele-
ment is thankfulness. Be ye
thankful unto God for having
bestowed his love, mercy, and
kindness upon us and who gave
us life itself. The third ele-
ment is giving. There is an art
in giving. Give not with the
expectation of receiving, but
give because there is an inner
motive which urges you to do so
with a warm spirit and a willing
mind. Give because there is a
definite need to do so. Put sun-
shine in someone's life by giv-

ing to those who are in need,
those who are unfortunate, those
who can be made happy because
of a simple, yet meaningful gift.
There you have the triangle.
It is a triangle because it has
three sides, two of which are
of equal importance. The first
element represents the base of
the triangle. The base because
without the birth of Christ there
would be no life. It is the part
by which all other phases of life
must pass. The latter two ele-
ments represent the two sides
of the triangle, which are of
equal importance.

So when we are about to ob-
serve or celebrate Christmas, let
us think of the triangle the
three major elements: sacred-
ness. thankfulness, and giving.
These things mean Christmas.
Will you celebrate Christmas in
the right way?

The Christmas Story:
Giving and Receiving

By Rosa M. Stubbs '56
Christmas is part of a family
affair. Dad sometimes thinks he
is playing Santa for the entire
town when holiday bills start
flowing in. Mother feels like
taking to her bed for a long,
long rest after days of baking,
cleaning, decking the halls with
holiday decoration, and oversee-
ing the hundred and one things
that are a part of the family's
Christmas spirit.

The kiddies are wrapped up
in giving and receiving gifts at
Christmas time and in looking
forward to Saint Nicholas' ar-
rival on Christmas Eve night.
But first of all we should know
how the custom of giving gifts
at Christmas time came into
existence. According to one
legend there were three sisters
living on the outskirts of Myra
who wanted to get married. They
had their future husbands se-
lected and were all ready to "pop
the question." No doubt they had

the perfect spot picked to build
a new home. But according to
the custom of that day, a wom-
an was expected to present her
suitor with a dowry, which con-
sisted of money or property, be-
fore he would take her for his
bride.

But the sisters were poor and
could not offer a dowry. The
good Saint Nicholas heard of
their situation and came to their
rescue. One dark night while
the sisters lay sleeping and
dreaming empty dreams, Saint
Nicholas passed by their home
and left a bundle on the door-
step, containing a respectable
dowry for each of the three
young ladies. The girls were
married and lived the tradition-
al happy life thereafter.

From this legend came the
custom of giving gifts at Christ-
mas time, making Saint Nich-
olas one of the best loved sym-
bols of the season.

Hints to Gift-Givers

By Pauline Silas
Gee, girls and boys. Christmas
is almost around the corner and
I am sure you are wondering
what kind of gift you are go-
ing to give that "dear" of yours.
Well, here are a few helpful
hints of do's and don'ts.

Traditionally, expensive gifts
are improper between girls and
boys as are items of apparel
like underwear, dresses, and
blouses which are Just too per-

sonal. Among gifts that may be
exchanged are: books, inexpen-
sive jewelry, pens, statjonery.
and items relating to hobbies,
car gadgets, and the like. Flow-
ers and candy are standard
items for boys to give girls.
Candy is also a good gift for
girls to give boys.

A picture of yourself for your
best "bear", this is the nicest
present of all. However, guard
against scrawling extravagantly

A Look Into
The News

By Tom Evans

Will a Democratic Congress
block the Eisenhower program?
How far will it go along with the
President on vital problems
which it must consider in the
coming session? These are some
of the questions that are fore-
most in the minds of the Ameri-
can people.

The Democratic senator from
Texas, Mr. Lyndon Johnson, who
will be the Senate Majority
Leader in the next session of
the Senate, outlines the prospect
as he sees it.

What will th Democrats do
about the McCarthy censure if
no vote is reached this year? We
will face up to the issue. We
arc ready to vote now, we have
been ready to vote for quite
sometime. If an issue should be
faced at this Congress and cir-
cumstances prevent it from be-
ing faced, we will certainly live
up to our responsibilities and
face it when we take over.

What will the 1955 Democratic
Legislative program be? We will
proceed as rapidly as possible to
build up the nation's defense;
to assure our farmers a fairer
share of the nation's income,
to break the bottleneck of for-
eign trade, to broaden the credit
base and put an end to the evil
effects of the hard-money policy.

To what extent do you expect
to cooperate with President
Eisenhower? Naturally, we don't
yet know what will be in -the--
program which he will present
to the next Congress. The only
thing that can be said now is
that we Democrats will cooperate
on any measure which our inner
conscience tells us will advance
the best interests of the coun-
try. But in any event, there will
be no personal attacks upon the
integrity of the President or
upon his intentions.

Where will you not go along
with the President? At the mo-
ment, the most important issue
in disagreement is the Dixon-

worded sentiments on it. His
mom will read it you know, not
to mention every one of his pals.
Don't give out photographs
promiscuously. Any boy but
your true love will be embar-
rassed to receive such a gift. Of
course, that kind of gift loses
its meaning if passed wholesale.
When to give gifts : Christ-
mas and birthdays are tradition-
al gift-giving times, but there
are other times when you might
give a little gift.

Gifts between girls should be
in good taste too. While good
friends may give each other
practically anything from night-
ies to nail polish the gifts
should not be too expensive.
Family gifts should show a bit
of ingenuity as well as generos-
ity. Be as observant as you can
and give accordingly: a set of
miniature lipstick to the young-
er sister who is experimenting
with makeup; a scarf for moth-
er that exactly matches her
eyes; a good brace and bit for
a handyman dad.

When you are given a present.
open it at once so that the giver
can see your pleased expression.
Thank the giver warmly and
sincerely, but be careful not to
carry on so about it that you
are obviously feigning delight.
When a gift arrives from an ab-
sent friend, don't ever hesitate
to dash off a thank-you letter
within a day or two.

In good solid friendships,
friends do not worry about
whether "her present to me was
as expensive as the one I gave
her," or "I gave her a Christ-
mas present, and she didn't give
me one." Good friends give a
little or a lot when the spirit
moves them; for they know that
it is the spirit behind any gift
that counts.

Christmas Is Alway

As the Christmas season draws
near, one should see it as an en-
tirely new experience. The con-
cept of Christmas is expected
to show growth and maturity.
The enjoyment of it must be
related to experiences through
which one has passed during the
year and the years before. Each
year provides an additional sup-
ply of ideas, memories, and
understandings. It is safe to say
that the richer the experiences
which one has had the deeper
and more meaningful will be
the Christmas joys.

It is necessary to prepare for
Christmas as one would prepare
for any other special occasion.
There is no inference that one
should prepare to have the most
joyous and the happiest Christ-
mas. Happiness and joy do not
come to those who seek them as
goals or ends in themselves.
These are to be found when one
lives properly and succeeds in
providing for the increased com-
fort, happiness, and joy of oth-
ers. This activity is less related
to financial expenditure than
to the expression of interest,
care, and love. Christmas is a
time wlien individuals forget
themselves and think of their
fellowmen. The activities asso-
ciated with the observance of
Christmas are varied, rapid, and
emotionally charged. While to
many they may seem extraneous

and nonrelated. these activities
provide the conditions for thr
atmosphere which makes th(
Christmas Spirit contagious. Ii
is perhaps the most importam
season of the year for the pro-
motion of thinking in terms of
the welfare of mankind. Per-
haps at no other season of the
year do individuals wish to havr-
hearts larger and greater mean^.
for expression of good will than
at Christmas time.

The college students in tht
year 1954 will find many op-
portunities to express t h e i i
growth in the concept of Christ-
mas. The books which they will
read during the holiday season
the friendships that will be re-
newed and acquaintances that
will be formed provide a vaca-
tion from the routine of study
This change from the regula:
program must, however, be in-
fluenced by the daily life of th-.
student just as it is with an in-
dividual in any other vocation
Those who grow from year to
year never construct for them-
selves two Christmases which
are alike. Whatever status on^
may occupy today, he has some-
thing which others would en-
joy having him share. In thi.
process of sharing and givini-
one experiences the new Christ-
mas each year.

Yates contract. We also dis-
agree strongly with the Secre-
tary of Agriculture on the farm
program. Other disagreements
will probably develop. But we
do not think it is the role of
a responsible party to create di-
visions solely for the sake of
advantage in a coming elec-
tion.

Just how much consultation
do the Democrats expect on
domestic policy? We are not
looking for bipartisanship on
any domestic policy. There Is
no reason for advance consulta-
tion or advance cooperation be-
tween two political parties on
such issues. If we believe that
the President's policies advance
the interests of the country, we
will advance them regardless of
their origin or their party affili-
ations.

How much do you expect on
foreign policy? Bipartisanship
is entirely the prerogative of the
President. If he decides there
should be no bipartisanship, we
will not criticize ahim for that
decision, even though we may
criticize his specific decisions in
the field of foreign policy. Bi-
partisanship in foreign policy is
of no advantage to the opposi-
tion party. It is a burden. If
the President decides to run the

YWCA NEWS

The Young Women's Christian
Association sponsored the cam-
pus Thanksgiving Communion
Service with the able assistance
of our college minister. This
has come to be an annual ob-
servance and each year it seems
that the interest in this service
increases. In spite of the early
hour and the low temperature,
the attendance was very good.
We hope that we can make the
service such a stimulating one
that all students and faculty
members who remain on the
campus for the Thanksgiving
holidays will participate in the
service.

For our Christmas meeting we
have planned a worship service
in keeping with the season and
the telling of at least one Christ-
mas stor>. Our special attrac-
tion at this meeting will be our
guest, Miss Althea Williams. Miss
Williams will give instructions
in the attractive and effective
wrapping of Christmas gifts.
Since everyone exchanges gifts
at Christmas time, we felt that
all students, both men and wom-
en, would be interested in learn-
ing new ways to make these
gifts attractive.

LES MODES

By Mercedes Mitchell *55

The swiftly approaching Christ-
mas season is upon us and It
finds everyone In a festive mood,
even the season's colors have the
tendency to be bright and color-
ful. The ripe, rich tangerine and
forest green rate as "Hit Number
One" in the parade of colors.

Many parties and dances will
be given during this joyous sea-
son but let us take time out
amidst the hilarious mood of gai-
ety to realize the true meaning
of Christmas. The season's win-
ter white is symbolic of that
mood white being pure and sac-
red.

The regular Christmas colors
red and greenstill find their
place in the rainbow of Christ-
mas fashions. Many party dres-
ses, made of crisp taffeta, soft
satin, and dainty marquisette are
red the color of the Christmas
season.

Accessories, as well as the maj-
or part of the outfit, contain the
green hue. Should the garment
be plaid or floral, green finds it-
self in the design of beauty. Ir-
redescent, the green serves as a
base for the lighter colors and
solid green is lovely, a beautiful
cool looking fall color.

The columnist extends to the
many readers "A Joyous Yule-
tide Season". See you next year! !

Sports As I See It

By James O'Neal

Although the Savannah State Tigers won only one game
this season, one can very well see that It was a much improved
team over last season. The Tigers scored only six points last season
while their opponents were scoring at will with an amazing total
of 435 points. This season the Tigers averaged six points per game
and held their opponents to 260 points. Savannah managed to
score against all of their opponents except Alabama State College.

Much of the succes of the team
can be given to head coach Ross
Pearley. who took over the team
at the beginning of the season
with little chance of scoring and
no chance of winning. Well done,
Pearley. Luck to you next sea-

Four of Savannah State's play-
ers were named to the All S. E.
A. C. football teams, On the first
team were sophomore guard Al-
bert Strutchins and senior full-
back Willian Weatherspoon. So-
phomore halfback Robert Butler
and senior end James Collier
were placed on the second team.

With two All S. E, A. C. players
returning next year and a mucli
improved team as a whole, the
Tigers will be hard to beat. Five
seniors donned their white and
orange for the last time as they
ended their collegiate football

SSC Defeats Paine 7-0
In Thanksgiving Classic

The Savannah State Tigers
won their first game in two years
as they edged Paine College of
Augusta 7 to in the Annual
Thanksgiving Classic at Savan-
nah State Athletic Field.

This was also tlie first victory
of Coach Ross Pearley at S. S. C,
who has taken over as head men-
tor of the Tigers this year. The
last game the Tigers won was
against Paine College in 1952
when they defeated Paine 20-0.

The first three quarters found
neither team being able to score
beceause of the hard bruising
tackling. Savannah' State threat-
ened to score early in the second
quarter when lialfback Robert
Butler ran 46 yards to Palnes' 28
yard line.

After receiving the kickoff in
the third quarter, the Tigers run-
ning attack began to click with
halfbacks Jerry Turner, Robert
Butler, and William Weather-
spoon doing the running. These
three backs moved the ball from
their own ten-yard line down to
Paine's 26 yard line. This drive
was stopped when Paine's half-
back Charles Mathis Intercepted
one of quarterback Daniel Burn's
passes, and ran it back to his own
47 yard line. On the fourth down
Paine was forced to kick from
their own 40 down to Savannah's
25 yard line. Quarterback Daniel
Burns returntcd the punt back
to the mid-field stripe. After two
running plays which gained no
yardage, halfback Butler passed
to fullback Weatherspoon for 25
yards, and he ran the ball to
Paine's 11 yard line. Again it was
Weatherspoon going through to
the center of the line for 10 yards
which gave Savannah a first
down on Paine's 1 yard line. At
this point Paine put on one of
the greatest line stands of the
game when they refused to let
the Tigers cross over into pay-
dirt. The third quarter ended
with Paine taking over on their
one yard line.

Taking no chances with the
ball deep in their territory, Paine
kicked on the first down, and
Savannah took over on Paine's
32 yard line. On the first play,
halfback Robert Butler shook off
three would-be Paine tackles,
and raced 32 yards over Paine's
goal line standing up for 6 points
and the only touchdown of the
game. Quarterback Daniel Burns
ran off tackle for the extra point.
The outstanding players for
Savannah were Jerry Turner, Al-
bert Schutchlns, Robert Butler.
Robert Dulaney, William Wether-
spoon, and James Willis, PaJne
was led by Calvin Turner, Jesse
Gray and Charles Mathis.

careers Thanksgiving Day. The
seniors are James Ashe. James
Willis, William Weatherspoon.
James Collier, and Louis Con-
yers. Although most of your col-
legiate football has been with a
losing team, you have proved
that you can take It when the
chips are down. Nice going, fel-
lows, and luck to you.

Now that football is a thing of
the past and the fans are begin-
ning to get the basketball fever,
let us take a look at the Tigers'
basketball team. Last year the
Tigers were rated among the top
Negro teams of the Nation, With
all the same players back plus
the freshmen and other new-
comers, they are ejjpected to
equal or better last year's record.
Last season tlie Tigers won both
the S. E, A, C. conference and
tournament championship. They
were also invited to the national
tournament at Nashville, but
were eliminated by Texas South-
ern in the first round. The over-

all record for the season was 23
victories and 9 defeats.

This season, the Tigers will
probably dominate everything in
their conference. However, the
team has a heavier conference
schedule ... so your guess is as
good as mine.

Tig^^agers Lose
Open^to S.C. Bulldogs

The Savannah State Tigers lost
their first home game of the sea-
son as the South Carolina Bull-
dogs came from behind with on-
ly seconds to play to edge the
Tigers 65-62.

Before the game was a minute
old. the Tigers jumped out in
front with a six-point lead but
found themselves trailing the
Bulldogs 21-31 at the half.

Savannah's Cecilio Williams,
who scored only six points in the
first half, came back with 26
points in the last half to give
Savannah a three point lead
with two minutes left in the
game. The "never say die" Bull-
dogs came back with 6 quiet
points to win the game 65-62.

The Tigers will play three more
games before Christmas: North
Carolina State Callege at Dur-
iiam on December 11, Benedict
on December 14. and Clark Col-
lege of Atlanta on December 17.

our only request is that we be

mulation of policy. We are not

'From an exclusive interview
with Senate Leader Johnson.
Taken from Newsweek Maga-
zine by the author.)

It is the belief now that a
meeting of the Big Four before
the end of 1955 is a definite fact.
The principals would be Eisen-
hower, Churchill. Mendes-France
and Malenkov,

The object of the meeting
would be to find a way other
than perpetual cold warfare, by
which the Communist East and
the Demorcratic West can feel
reasonably secure in inhabiting
the same globe.

However, it is the belief of this
columnist that the pre-condi-
tions will have an effect upon
this conference. The Brussels
and Paris agreements providing
a free West Germany, must be
ratified and in effect. The Rus-
sians must evidence sincerity.

The above conditions would
fit the president's now clearly
drawn foreign policy line, which
calls for a determined effort to
keep the peace and to flatly re-
ject the alternative of an East-
West atomic war.

Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is

dents in the business department
and any others who might not
intend to teach. He very care-
fully explained how opportuni-
ties for Negroes are opening up
in businesses that formerly em-
ployed no Negroes. If students
become aware of these new pos-
sibilities, they can begin prepar-

President W. K. Payne. She re-

fective at the end of the fall
quarter.

Miss Herd holds the A,B. de-

Held By Personnel

By George Johnson

The department of student personnel services presented a job
placement clinic for the students at Savannah State College in
Meldrim Hall from January 7-13, The activities of the clinic in-
cluded: a job placement conference for seniors, a display of job
possibilities, and an address on job opportunities In general as-
sembly.

The first session on Saturday morning was open to seniors.
It included two general sessions and a seminar, featuring three
groups; business, education, and trades and industries.

In the first general session a panel discussion, "Competencies
and Behavior Employees Expect

of Employees", was presented by
Mr. Sidney A. Jones, a business
man of Savannah; Mr. W. W.
McCune. assistist superintendent
of public schools and director of
teacher-employment in Savan-
nah; Mr W- B. Nelson, director
of the division of trades and in-
dustries at the College; and Mrs.
Sophronia Tompkins, principal
of Woodville High School in Sa-
vannah. Dr. C, L, Kiah, chair-
man of the department of edu-
cation, served as coordinator.

In the seminars, the students
were told of the possible job
opportunities in their respective
areas and the methods of secur-
ing these positions. Dr. C. L.
Kiah served as chairman of the
education seminar. Mr, Robert C.
Long, chairman of the business
seminar, and Mr. W. B. Nelson,
chairman of the trades and in-
dustries seminar.

After a coffee break, another
general session was held at
which time Mrs. Donella Sea-
brook and Mr. Leonard Law
served as leaders of a discussion

on "Interviewing Principals and
Procedures"; Mr, Robert Long
and Dr. Thomas Saunders led
the discussion on "Correct Busi-
ness Letters." Mr. J. R. Jenkins.
executive secretary at the West
Broad Street YMCA. delivered an
address. "The Individual and the
Job,"

On Thursday. January 13. Dr.
Margurite Adams, counselor and
professor of psycology at Shaw
University, spoke on a "New Look
in Job Opportunities for Negroes
in America", to the entire stu-
dent body and members of the
faculty. She stressed the fact
that though job opportunities
have been scarce in the past
years, today, there is a new look
in job opportunities regardless
to one's race, color, or creed.

Dr. Adams concluded her mes-
sage by stating that college stu-
dents should aim at top level
jobs which require honesty, sin-
cerity, loyalty, communicative
ability and a pleasant personal-
ity. "All of these are undis-
putable requirements to receive
a top level job."

of the opinion that anyone who
took tills viewpoint lias a very
limited range of vision. Rather,
he would think that this is a
time for service to humanity.
And tills service presupposes
adequate preparation. The cry-
ing need of our age is not the
need of good doctors, and good
lawyers, but we need good men
and good women who will be-
come good doctors and good law-
yers.

The Savannah State College
Choral Society, under the direc-
tion of Dr. Coleridge Bralthwaite,
sang the very beautiful "God
Be in My Head", by Orant-
Schaefer.

At the All-College Assemblies
two panels were presented. Tues-
day, January 18, Dean W. J. Hol-
loway co-ordinated the panel;
"The Advisor and Student Or-
ganizations. The participants
were Mrs. Ella W. Fisher, Mrs.
Louise Owens, Homer Bryson
and Dr, B, T, Griffith. Thurs-
day, January 20, Mr. Curtis
Cooper. President of the Stu-
dent Council, was co-ordlnator
for the panel; "Responsibilities
of Leaders at Savannah State
College." Mr. Cooper was very
ably assisted by three members
of the Council Miss Nadine
Cooper, Mr, William Horton, Miss
Peola Wright and Mr. John
Clemmons, one of the advisors.

Better Leadership

For a Better
World; Theme

One of the main highlights of
the Leadership Institute was the
repeated emphasis on Parlia-
mentary Procedure. The Com-
mittee felt that this information
is always needed by everyone
and too much emphasis cannot
be placed upon It. The Fresh-
man and Sophomore Orientation
classes had "guest professors"
this week. These professors were
invited to lecture to each class
for one class period during the
week. The lecturers were Mr.
Bertrand, Mr. Black, Mr. Clay,
Miss Davis, Mr E. J. Dean, Mr.
W. E. Griffin, Mr. Leftwich, Dean
Meyers, Mr. Peacock, Dr. E. K.
Williams and Mr. Robert Long,
Sr.

At the social education hour
Monday afternoon, January 17,
at 2:30 p.m.. Dr. R, Grann Lloyd
was guest speaker at the general
seminar on parliamentary pro-
cedure. Dr. Lloyd used the very
effective approach of deailing
with the many misconceptions
one may have about parliamen-
tary procedure. These miscon-
ceptions were concerned with the
custom of the Chairman's not
voting, the usual custom of ac-
cepting of the treasurer's re-
port, and the reading of cor-
respondence, committee reports.
the withdrawing of a motion, the
kinds of motions which do not
require a second. Time was al-
lowed for a question period and
the students responded quite
eagerly.

Leadership

Now, let us not fool ourselves.
There is no magic in democracy
that does away with the need of
great leadership. Democracy
must both create and control Its
own leadership. And it cannot
afford to neglect either half of
this responsibility. If a democra-
cy thinks only of the creation
of leadership, forgetting its con-
trol, it may end the vassal of a
dictator, or a secret oligarchy,
but If a democracy thinks only
of the control of leadership, for-
getting its creation, it will end
the victim of mediocre leaders
who are more interested in hold-
ing a job than in doing a job.
Democracy is still young and we
may yet go on the rocks if we
blunder in this business of creat-
ing and controlling our leaders.
When humanity smashed the
twin traditions of the divinity of
kings and the docility of sub-
jects, the whole problem of find-
ing and following leaders had
to be worked out on a new basis.
So far we have not if we are
willing to be honest made a
brilliant success of our venture.
We spend half our time crying
for great leadership, and the
other half crucifying great lead-

ers when we are lucky enough
to find them. The danger of our
democracy, as I see it, lies in
bur tendency to select leaders
who are similar to the rank and
file of us, whereas the hope of
democracy seems to me to lie in
our selecting leaders who are su-
perior to the rank and file of
us. This cuts to the heart of the
whole problem of leadership in
a democracy. Just what should
we look for in our leaders?
Should we hunt for leaders who
will follow us? . . . Should we
look for leaders who will always
think like us or for leaders
who might be able to think for
us in a pinch and respecting
problems of which we did not
have basic information?

, . , We dare not ignore the fact
that no form of government can
endure that trusts only its medi-
ocre men in positions of leader-
ship. The most difficult lesson
American democracy has to learn
is this to learn to tolerate lead-
ers who are great enough to dif-
fer from their constituencies
when necessary. From an ad-

Prank. President of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.

How Large is Our World

By Rev. Wesley Griffin-

No one needs to be tied down
to a little world any more. We
can get in our car and go some-
where, get on the train and go
somewhere, get on a plane and
go somewhere. When I was in
the service I spent one Friday
and Saturday with my wife in
Savannah, attended a meeting
in Waycross Sunday morning
and spent the rest of the evening
with my mother. I was back in
Louisiana Monday morning,
ready for work. One does not
have to live in a small world;
with a little planning, we can
literally fly around the world.
How large is our world?

One can always escape a little
world through the world of mem-
ory and the world of imagina-
tion. All at once I am sitting on
a high hill, an old hill known as
Gadra where the Gardarene
demoniac lived having a picnic
lunch on a great, flat rock and
looking out over the Sea of Gali-
lee in the distance, the port of
Tiberius, the ancient site of
Capernaum, the place which
Jesus made memorable by his
visits. I can just as easily in
a moment take a plane and float
silently, almost effortlessly, fif-
teen or twenty thousand feet

above a cloud-flecked sea and
watch the sun come and touch
those clouds with glory. Another
moment I can be sailing over
London in a plane and I can pick
out. although I have never been
there before. Westminster, St.
Paul, and the London Bridge
that came falling down one time.
I can see it all in a moment of
time. How large is our world?

If you cannot go around the
world yourself, if you cannot
take a plane and go places, spend
a dollar or two and go with Bur-
ton Holmes. He will take you
anywhere in the world. You do
not need to live in a little world;
you can use some of your leisure
time with books of travel and go
to the far places of the earth.
You can enlarge your world al-
most at will, if you just take the
lime- Go as far as the library
and you can expand your world
almost infinitely. How large is
your world?

No, you do not have to live in
a little world. You can use some
of your leisure time, and then
say, "I've made the trip, not by
plane, but with Theodore Roose-
velt, up Lost River, to the interi-

The much talked about issue
concerning the French approval
of rearming West Germany has
finally been settled. The credit
for the success of this very much
pushed foreign policy of the
Western powers is due largely to
the relentless efforts and shrewd
diplomatic ability of the French
Premier, Mendes-France.

It is the opinion of this writer
that Premier Mendes-France
should be commended by the
leaders of the western world. He
was not only successful in se-
curing the ratification but has
kept the present French govern-
ment from dissolving. There are
those, however, who say that the
French had no choice except to
ratify the Paris agreements, be-
cause of the pressure exerted
upon them by the United States
and the British. This factor must
have had its effect, but it is the
belief of this columnist that, if
France had not wanted to re-
arm Western Germany, the Paris
agreements would have received
the same treatment as did the
European Defense Community
Plan of Secretary of State, John
Foster Dulles.

The French have had their say
and now it is up to Germany
and Italy- With the much liked
Chancellor Conrad Adneaur, the
Germans are expected to ratify
the Paris agreement without too
much difficulty; however, this
will not be true with Italy, The
supporters of this policy in Italy
do not seem to be sn strong as
those in Germany,

The Paris agreement and the
French ratification of it have led
to outright accusations by the
Soviet Union that the Western
World is seeking domination.
The Kremlin has gone beyond
accusations and has begun to
issue warnings and threats to
the countries who favor the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion. It is my belief that these
warnings and threats are a mat-
ter of propaganda.

NATIONAL NEWS

The 84th Congress has been
organized, but the familiar faces
and much heard of names for
the past two years will not ap-
pear so frequently, because of
the past congressional election
in which the Democrats returned
to rule once again.

The Democrats, under the
leadership of Senator Lyndon
Johnson in the Senate and
Speaker Sam Rayburn in the
House, have pledged to cooperate
with the administration as much
as possible. I am of the opinion
that the President and new con-
gress will agree on foreign af-
fairs, but they are likely to clash
on domestic affairs.

President Eisenhower, instead
of delivering the customary State
of the Union Message, felt that
he could create a closer tie be-
tween the executive branch of
the government and the legisla-
tive branch by preparing several
messages instead of compiling all
of them in a single speech. The
affairs of the nation have be-
come so vast that sufficient at-
tention can not be given to a.
particular policy in a single
speech.

The President's first message
concerned the appeal for a
three-year extension of the re-
ciprocal trade law with authority
to cut tariffs up to 15 per cent
during this period.

Message from the President

As we face the New Year, often
one observes with interest the
manner In which man has
marked off periods of time. This
is especially noticeable when one
realizes that time is continuous
from age to age. These units of
time marked off by man have
become centers about which cus-
toms have been developed. The
beginning of a new year repre-
sents one of the clusters of civi-
lized activity. At this time of the
year individuals and businesses
take inventory and forecast their
outlook for the incoming year.
It Is a form of activity in which
students engage as well as those
occupied with other forms of ac-
tivity.

The life which the modern
student leads is filled with ac-
tivity. In fact many have diffi-
culty in providing for the num-
ber and variety of things which
must be carried on in their oc-
cupation. Yet, every individual
seeking an education must make
a place for many things if the
individual is to be well educated.
The students who take inventory
and discover that all of their
time is utilized in reading books,
writing papers, preparing for ex-
aminations will come to gradua-
tion with only a meager prepa-
ration for living. Well-rounded
education requires that learning
take place in many different
areas. Every educated person
displays competence in terms of
the society in which he lives.
Time must be provided, there-
fore, for gaining knowledge and
information about the current
political, social, economic, and
religious development. Much of
this may be achieved through
the reading of newspapers, mag-
azines, current books, through
conversation and discussion,
through radio and television and
the theater. The definite amount
of time to be given to each of
these must be properly balanced
in terms of the other activities
which constitute the student's
nfe. Recreation and physical
activity which are as necessary
as eating and sleeping must be
provided systematically. Each of
these activities requires time and
a place on the schedule of the
student. It may be said that the
student who receives the greatest
growth during his college years
is the one who places these ac-
tivities in the best relationship
for his individual personality.

The goals which students set
for themselves often seem dis-
tant and far removed. Yet if one
considers that time will take him
to some destination which may
or may not be the place he pre-
fers, he could be less dependent
upon chance. The taking of in-
ventory at the beginning of the
year enables the student to
evaluate the year which is past
and to plan the year which is
beginning. At this time it is
possible to readjust schedules
for the individual's living and to
set up objectives for both the
present and the future. Stu-
dents, in some instances, select
lesser goals because they want
to enjoy what appears to be the
most important things for the
moment. It is often possible for
a student to secure a job which
pays him a salary equivalent to
that of present-day graduates.
To interrupt one's training for
such an opportunity means that
the individual will soon become
bored becaused he is forced to
live on the same plane for such
a long time. Monetary rewards
or relief from the discipline of
study and learning do not con-
stitute sound bases for abridging
one's education. There is suffi-
cient evidence to support the
statement that opportunities in
almost every area will continue
to be better and that those who

continue their education and
training will not likely drop be-
hind because of the time spent
in formal education. The great-
ly increased length of life and
period of activity characteristic
of this age provide sufficient
time for a richer and fuller hfe.

In almost every instance stu-
dents can greatly improve their
efficiency in the process of edu-
cating themselves. Those who
spend all of their time studying
can be just as successful in their
grades by providing for a dozen
or more types of activities that
normally go with a full college
education. Students who spend
a large proportion of their tim .
hunting for some activity to tak-^
up the time on their hands ca i
increase their education by sy. -
aematically planning to utili; ?
their time with what they wouiJ
consider worthwhile activitie
This group of students found i i
most of the American college ^
often does not wake up uni i
after graduation. Their enti y
into the various occupations ari
professions reveals what haj -
pened when they were in co.-
lege. This is the group whic!i
often wishes to turn the han^ 5
of the clock back for anoth r
trial at college. Then, there s
a third group which finds itse:f
too busy with the activities q
browse in the library, amoi s
their fellow students, and in tl e
community. This group in a? -
other way is limiting its edi -
cation. Important as all of tl e
activities are, one must mal e
provision for a well-balanci -i
program of living. Whatever oi e
wishes to include in his schedu e
can be provided for if he r^ -
arranges the affairs in terms f
their relative values for his a^ -
cepted goals.

AH that has been stated abO' e
about dividing one's time, coi -
tinuing one's education, ai d
planning for the present and ti e
future will be greatly influenc- d
by the individual's wishes. T e
psychologists sometimes call ;t
the level of aspiration. The t
who have low levels will ne d
little change in their methods 'i
living and learning. On the otl-. r
hand, those who have a risi.-g
level of aspiration will be e :-
pected to find college life inte.-
esting, challenging and at tim -^
fraught with difficulties.

THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION
TO AMERICA'S LITERATURE

The theme for Negro Histoiy
Week is "Negro History: A Con-
tribution to America's Intercul-
tural Life". It goes without say-
ing that this contribution to the
literature of this country should
not be neglected. In the intro-
duction to The Negro Caravan,
the editors state that they do not
believe that the expression
"Negro literature" is an accurate
one in spite of its convenient
brevity. " 'Negro literature' h^^
no application if it means struc-
tural peculiarity, or a Negic
school of writing. The Negi'O
writes in the forms evolved in
English and American litera-
ture." The terms "a Negro Nov-
el" or "a Negro play" are am-
biguous. "If they mean a nove,
or a play by Negroes, then sucl"
works as Porgy andGreen Pas-
tures are left out. If they meiii
works about Negro life, they in-
clude more works by white au-
thors than by Negro, and thesi
works have been most influenti;!
upon the American mind."

THE MEN BEHIND THE SHIELD
By Homer Bryson

The Alpha Gamma Chapter of
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity,
though small in number, is ever
pushing forward.

The brothers have returned to
school with renewed vigor and
are at present making plans for
the annual Mavdi-Gras dance,
which will be held in Wilcox
Gymnasium on February 5, 1955.
This year, as in years past, it
promises to be one of the gala
social events of the season.

Seven members of the Chapter
are scheduled to receive their de-

Just because the weather is
cool is no reason for us to be-
come careless with our personal
daintiness- Baths are just as
important in winter as they are
in summer. But baths are not
enough. They wash away past
perspiration, but there is always
more perspiration accumulating.
After a bath or shower, a de-
odorant is a rule no girl can
afford to break, A deodorant-
antiperspirant checks moisture
and gives your pretty new clothes
a longer lease on life. In any
event, clothes need the added
protection of underarm shields
and frequent cleansing to keep
them as fresh as the day you
first lifted them out of the tissue
paper.

Deodorants and deodorant
soaps are available everywhere,
And, they are within the reach
of everyone's pocket. Deodorants
aren't made just for women.
There are lots of products made
especially for MEN. And they
aren't sissy either. Mennen,
Avon, Kings Men, and other
companies have wonderful de-
odorants and after-shave prod-
ucts for men.

Don't neglect your mouth.
Brush teeth regularly with a
good toothbrush. Toothbrushes
are easier to replace than teeth.
Brush up and down, not across.

Now that the slim skirts are
the trend girls, you have to be
careful of that figure. Nothing,
but nothing, looks worse than a
girl in a slim skirt that bulges
out from the front and rear!
Every girl needs a good founda-
tion garment. There's one to
fit every type of figure. Why not
consult the expert in the foun-
dation department of your fav-
orite store before you buy? She
can help you a lot. You'll feel
better and look neater too.

Let's not forget our complex-
ion and hair. It is a wise girl
who realizes that complexion in-
cludes face and scalp. Soap and
water and a complexion brush
can bring a glow to that dull
complexion. Then there are the
liquid-lather cleansers that are
very good for blackheads. The
hair brush keeps hair and scalp
clean and shining. Frequent
shampoos are not to be forgotten.

Hands, feet, elbows, and back
need extra care. Start with the
aforementioned daily scrubadub.
Choose face powder and lipsticks
that harmonize with you and
your outfit. Take a little extra
time to apply make-up for a
flattering look. Watch those lip
lines with the lipstick. Follow
the natural lines of your mouth,

Cologne and perfume make a
girl who is sweet and fresh as
a blossom smell that way. Sev-
eral new fragrances are out for
fall. Try them on yourself and
choose the ones that you like
best.

We welcome you back to the

campus. We are sure that each
of your hearts is filled with hope
of contmued health and happi-
ness throughout the year.

Fellow students, we ask that
you put those resolutions into
action by helping to make our
remaining school term a suc-
cessful one,

cerning organizations, the re-
sponsibilities of officers, etc.
This list included several books
in addition to the standard work.
Roberts Rules of Order. Titles
which were very highly recom-
mended were:

THE TIGER'S ROAR

January, 1955

Sports As I See It

Bv James O'Neal

After the Savannah State Ti-
gers dropped their first two bas-
ketball games of the season.
Coach Ted Wright shifted his
line-up for the next three im-
portant games before the holi-
days. Their opponents were the
mighty North Carolina Eagles,
who were runners-up in the na-
tional tournament: Clark College
of Atlanta, who are S.I.A.C.
tournament champions; and
Benedict College of Columbia.
S. C.

In the first of these three
games, the Tigers went to North
Carolina and upset the favorite
Eagles 74-70; came back to Sa-
vannah where they dropped
Benedict 65-57; then rolled over
Clark with 15 points for an 81-
66 victory.

Coach Wright has probably
one of the best "little men" in
basketball, who is Robert Lewis
known around Savannah as "Mr.
Basketball." Lewis is a sopho-
more who stands 5'5" and can
do practically anything with a
basketball except eat it. He is
not the player who puts on a
one-man show, but a player who
often makes his big opponents
look bad. His most effective
weapon is his drive-in delay-
fake which means two points for
the Tigers.

Other star players of the team
include such players as Noel
Wright. Ceciho Williams, Rich-
ard Washington, and Otis Brock.

Wright is the kind of player
who can play 40 minutes of
head-up basketball, and he is
at his best under pressure. He is
known especially for his long
set-shot and his ability to steal
balls from his opponents.

Cecilio Williams, who stands
6"7", is a senior and an honor
student. He comes from Panama
and has been the top scorer for
the Tigers for the past three
years. He is dangerous both in
and away from the goal.

Washington is a Junior from
New Orleans, a hard worker, and

Otis Brock is probably one of
the most dependable players on
the squad. He is a backboard
specialist on rebounds and shoots
from 15 to 25 points per game
with his one-hand jump and his
over-head hook.

With this team plus some
strong reserves, the Tigers will
be working hard to return to

Religious_Emphasis Week

James Dearing. '57

Each year at Savannah State
College the faculty and student
body observe a few days of re-
ligious activities which we call
"Religious Emphasis Week." This
year as it grows closer. February
27-March 3, we are hoping that
each student will be truly helped
with the blessings of God.

However, we know of nothing
at the present that exists on the
face of the earth that a person
could dare to seek without put-
ting forth some effort to gain it.
In our classroom of our academic
studies the teacher may try ever
so hard to teach his class to the
best of his ability, but only those
who make an effort to grasp

what is being taught are bene-
fitted by this teaching.

If we have ever needed God
before we sure do need Him now.
We have this week each year to
benefit ourselves. As we go into
this week, you remember that
you will benefit on the bases of
what you put into these activi-
ties.

In critical times like these,
many of the boys may be in-
ducted into the armed services.
So we should prepare for ap-
proaching this affair with open
hearts and minds. On the basis
of what you'll put into Religious
Emphasis Week this year will de-
termine the benefits you will re-
ceive.

Salute to "Enterpriser'

We are sure the students here
have seen the recent publication
of the Enterpriser, which is a
monthly publication by the De-
partment of Business. The En-
terpriser was organized in 1949,
was discontinued in 1952, and it
resumed publication and circula-
tion this school year.

Carter Peek, editor-in-chief, is
to be commended for his tireless
effort in getting the Enterpriser
back into circulation. The con-
tent and organization of the
publication are excellent. It
contains material of special in-

By Neator Doyle

terest to students of business ad-
ministration, such as job oppor-

tunities in business and refer-
ence materials available for busi-
ness work.

We, the members of the Tiger's
Roar staff and student body sa-
lute Peek and his co-workers for
such a fine publication and we
wish them much success with the
paper.

Advisers for the project are
Miss A. E. Boston and Messrs.
R. C. Long. W. H. Bowens and
W. C. Scott.

Think

Gerue Ford

Common sense is believed to be
one of the most widely dis-
tributed of all human posses-
sions. Almost everyone has an
intelligence quotient sufficient
to master all common problems.
We can make adjustments to
new situations and new environ-
ments with the greatest of ease.

It is not necessary that we find
ourselves trying in vain to solve
simple everyday problems. It is
not true that serious mistakes
cannot be prevented. We don't
have to plan and discover that
none of them can be carried out.

When challenging situations
arise, we can master them sur-
prisingly well by simply applying
a little common sense. To apply
common sense is to think.

When we think we never
plunge blindly into anything.
Before we act, we first gather,
study and analyze the facts of

the situation; secondly, we draw
a conclusion which is based on
truth and the constituents of the
facts; thirdly, we make plans
and proceed to put them into ac-
tion.

When we think we don't find
ourselves guilty of having com-
mitted acts that could jeopardize
our progress, lower our morale,
or ruin our lives. When we think
we never take chances that have
the possibility of leading to dis-
aster.

Life has something to offer
you. Disappointment, sorrow,
and failure need not be yours
when love, prosperity, happiness,
contentment, and success can be
shared equally as well. To be-
come the possessor of the assets
of life isn't a difficult task. To
make your life worth while is
simple just live, and as you live,
think.

The Periscope

By

National News

President Eisenhower's stand
on the reduction of the army
has drawn much criticism. With
the present tension in the Far
East the lawmakers have ques-
tioned the cliief executive's in-
telligence on the matter of re-
ducing the army when tlie threat
of war prevails.

International News
The announcement by Presi-
dent Eisenhower that the United
States will protect Formosa if
these islands are attacked by
Communist China has estab-
lished somewhat stable American
foreign policy in Asia. This re-
porter believes that he is safe in
saying that prior to this time our
Asian foreign policy toward Asia
was of a static nature.

The stand that the United
States has taken to defend For-
mosa may be in the future re-
garded as a key block in stop-
ping the spread of International
Communism, but it will do little
or nothing toward the recogni-
tion of Red China as the govern-
ment of the majority of Chinese
people. It is the belief of this
reporter that it is impossible for
General Chiang to conquer the
Reds without risking a third
world war between the United
States and Red China. The Reds
have become too well organized
on the mainland.

How long the United States
will be able to keep Communist
China out of the United Nations
is a question of time. However.
inasmuch as the admission of
Communist China to the United
Nations will be of no advantage
to the Western democracies, it
would release I believe some of
the tension in the Far East at
the present time.

The fall of Mendes-France's
government marks the twenty-
second time that the French gov-
ernment has dissolved since the
end of World War II. The cause
this time was Premier Mendes-
France's African policy. How-
ever, the government of Mendes-
Frarice nearly folded when the
French voted on the much-dis-
puted Western Germany rearm-
ament. The fall of Mendes-
France affected Western Ger-
many's ratification of the Paris
agreement.

The resignation of Georgie
Malenkov as Premier of the U. S.
S. R, has caused the West to be-
lieve that the Soviets ultimate
objective is war. Upon Malen-
kov's resignation he renounced
all of his policy stating that he
failed to fullfill the wishes of the
people. The selection of Mikolai
Bulganin has caused many to be-
lieve, as when Dwight Eisen-
hower was elected president of
the United States, that the selec-
tion of a person with solely mili-
tary experience increases the
threat of war. However. I do be-
lieve that the change within the
Kremlin does mean that they in-
tend to wage stiffer foreign pol-
icy toward the West. But as far
as the threat of war. I don't be-
lieve that they are quite ready
for it.

The merging of the American
Federation of Labor and the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tion has made history. The com-
ing together of these two out-
standing and powerful labor or-
ganizations marks the first time
in labor history that two such
powerful organizations have
combined their powers.

The merging of these two or-
ganizations could mean, and
most likely will mean, a bigger
voice for labor In national poli-
tics.

Message from the President

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, March 9-11. the State-
wide High School Language Arts Festival will be held at Savannah
State College. It will be sponsored by Savannah State College and
the Savannah Morning News and Evening Press, Directed by the
Languages Department of Languages and Literature.

This month the students and faculty of Savannah State CoUegf'
are observing Religious Emphasis Week. As usual preparations are
made for an extraordinary occasion. Unlike many occasions the
preparations do not call for entirely new procedures. The ob-
servance is built upon beliefs and customs which have been present
in the individuals for many years. Religious Emphasis Week pro-
vides opportunities for thinking again of the values of religion and
the rededication of ourselves to religion that influences living. It
is hoped that Religious Emphasis Week and what there is left
after it has passed will provide college students with a growing
religion.

To develop the other abilities of the student without the proper
stimulation in the area of religion is to encourage maladjustment,
Tiie effects of education when properly balanced with religion that
is enlightened produces effective citizens. All of the problems faced
by our society today can be solved more effectively when religion
and learning emanate from the same individual. Whatever worthy
goal one may set for himself can be richer and more desirable if
it is pursued under the influence of firm religious conviction. It
will bring strength and understanding at all times. In crisis it will
lift one above the animal level to grasp values which are more en-
during and more satisfying.

Organization Highlights

Kappa Alpha Psi

The brothers of Gamma Chi
Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi used
their own initiative in taking
part in the recent drive against
poho. The Brothers took advan-
tage of Thursday, February 3, to
collect $15.83 in pennies, nickels
and dimes to contribute to this
cause. No opportunity was neg-
lected in the untiring effort.
Contributions from students,
faculty and staff members,
sightseers, and visitors were
equally solicited. Almost every-
one seemed proud of the move
and contributed generously.

In the very near future we
shall present to our friends and
neighbors our Annual Variety
Show. All brothers will combine
their energies toward promoting
this affair.

The Woman of Knowledge Delta

"To perpetuate high scholastic
;Lbility and promote finer wom-
mhood." are our purposes. Ever
cognizant of these, and striving
with increased fevor. we Deltas
find the fullfilment of our goals
inevitable.

We are very proud to have
three Sorors as recent initiates
into our honor societies. Ac-
cepted into the ranks of Beta
Kappa Chi National Honorary
Scientific Society were Sorors:
Mercedes Mitchell and Julia
Hendrix. and into Alpha Kappa
Mu Honor Society was Soror
Gloria Spauiding. We are grate-
ful for having so many Sorors
and Pyramids on the honor roll
and de an's list.

We welcome Mrs, Donella
Gri*-^^m Seabrook as our new
advisor. We are sure that co-
operation with her will make our
group a better one. Mrs. Sea-
brook replaces Mrs. Juanita Sell-
L-rs Stone, Mrs, Stone's resigna-
tion became effective at the
completion of last quarter when
,^he became the Yuletide bride of
Dr. Vernon W. Stone.

We extend best wishes to Soror
Robertia Glover upon her recent
marriage to Mr. E. Orell Webb.
We hope both Sorors Stone and
Webb will "live happily ever
nfter."

Doing student teaching this
quarter are Sorors Brown, Fort-
.son, Hendrix and Saunders.

It was interesting to note that
Leontyne Price, tlie star of Puc-
cmi's opera "Tosca," is a Soror.
Soror Price's role was a prece-
dent setter. It marked the first
time a Negro artist has sung the
top role of Puccini's work or op-
posite an all white cast.

Scholarship, leadership, char-
acter are qualities of all Delta
women !

We bid adieu from Delta Nu.

The Apes Speak

The Brothers of Delta Eta
Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fra-
ternity presented their Annual
Education for Citizenship Week
Program in Chapel on February
17. Our theme for this program
was "InteUigent Citizenship In-
spires Freedom. Peace and Prog-
ress. Brother Dr. Thomas
Saunders, chairman of the de-
partment of Languages and Lit-
erature, was the guest speaker.
Panel discussions in keeping
with the general tlieme were
presented at Beach and Wood-
ville High Schools.

Education for Citizenship is
a national observance of Alpha
Phi Alpha and it is designed to
bring out pointers of good citi-
zenship trying to show and
teach the members of our race
the significance of education
and citizenship in becoming the
type of person that can success-
fully take their places in our
society.

Y. W. C. A.

The Young Women's Christian
Association of Savannah State
College had as its guest this
month the National Student Sec-
retary of the Southern Region,
Miss Doris V. Wilson, Miss Wil-
son met with the young women
of the dormitory at an informal
"Coke Party" Tuesday evening,
February 1. An all-college
women's meeting was held the
following day at noon. We were
given much information that
was both vital and interesting.
Since we are now affiliated with
the national body, we realize
that we have responsibilities to
both our campus and the nation-
al Y ,W. C. A. However, these
responsibilities cannot be met
without an active membership.
We are therefore asking that as
many young women as possible
will become members of the "Y."

The Y. W. C- A. celebrates its
100th birthday this year. Watch
current magazines for articles
concerning this celebration. The

February issue of the Journal of
Health and Physical Education,
and the Woman's Home Com-
panion have very interesting ar-
ticles about this world-wide oc-
casion.

This We Believe

Homer Bryson, Jr.

The men of Omega, after a hi-
larious time at their annual
Mardi Gras Ball, have settled
down to some serious thinking.
Oddly enough this was brought
about by their little brothers.

It is expected that each pledge
club leave something with the
chapter. This year's group pro-
poses to leave a project border-
ing on the intangible rather
than on the intangible, in the
hope that what good men do will
live long after the evil is in-
terred with their bones.

With this in mind the men of
The Shield, along with their
little brothers, have pledged
themselves to bettering relations
between campus and off -campus
students and between the stu-
de nts in general. For this, we
believe, is the only way to
strengthen our student govern-
ment and give us a student body
with a rejuvenated school spirit.

By W. Larkins
For the last five weeks, the students of the foreign languages
classes have been seen entering the broad portals ot the Department
ot Lauguages and Literature in groups of four or five remaining
there for fifteen or twenty minutes and then hastily leaving with
transfigured faces, muttering strange sayings such as "Habla usted
espanol. senor?" or Parlez-vous francais?" to each other. The

mystery does not, however, end
there. Follow a few of them to

ments outside of the battered
door of Herty 13 and your be-
wilderment will increase; tor.
instead of hearing the weary
voice ot Mile, Morton, exasperat-

overworked voice of Senor Lar-
kins desperately fighting an al-
ready seemingly lost battle with
a bored and pseudo-sophisticated
class, one will hear the resonant
voices of native speakers of the

ately followed by the voices of

Interested in the learning ot the
languages.

What created this revolution-
ary attitude on the part of the
students toward the learning of
a foreign language? What dy-
namic and wonderfully mysteri-
ous force has surreptitiously
wrought this astounding change?
These are probably some of the
questions which are pricking the
mhids of the casual observers ot
this phenomenal change. The
answer is really simple. One
realized that the voices of two
overloaded teachers were not
enough to create, on the parts
of the students, an earnest de-
sire to advance further than a
fluent command of "Habla usted
espanol?" or "Parlez-vous fran-
cais?" with this purpose In
mind, a Listening Laboratory
has been established .

The purpose of the laboratory
is simple. It affords the student
an opportunity to listen for a
prolonged period to the voices
of native speakers by means of
earphone attachments. As many
as eight students may listen at
one time. The materials used
for this purpose are of the best
variety and are arranged so that
the average student may derive
the highest degree of benefit
from them.

The laboratory technique of
teaching does not, however, end
there in Parson's Annex. Almost

THE TIGER'S ROAR

February, 1955

Sports As I See It

James O'Neal

The Savannah State Tigers
pulled their biggest upset of the
season when they defeated the
highly favored KnoxvUle Col-
lege 77-70 in an overtime game
at Savannah.

The Tigers probably played
their best defensive game of the
year in holding the sharp-shoot-
ing Knoxville "5" to 67 points
when the first forty minutes of
the game were over. Before
coming to Savannah, Knoxville
had averaged 100.5 points per
game and had played some of
the top Negro teams of the na-
tion. With this record Savan-
nah was expected to be another
easy victory for the high scoring
boys from Knoxville.

Coach Wright used only six
players in this game and each
one was at his best. All the
regular stars hit into the dou-
ble figures except big "GU "
Jackso n, who did a magnificent
jftfi wilh rebounds on both back-
boards. Last year the Tigers
won over Knoxville 78-66.

The Tigers have thus far a
15-7 record and hold double
victories over Claffin University,
Albany State, Paine Coltcge.
Florida Normal and Fort Valley
State. They have single wins
over North Carolina College and
Knoxville. They divided meet-
ings with Bethume-Cookman.
Benedict, and Clark College and
dropped decisions to Morris,
South CaroUna State and Allen
University. The Savannah Tigers
have lost only one conference
game and have two more games
to play before the S E, A. C.
Tourney in Savannah on Feb-
ruary 25-26.

With this record, the Tigers
will be a strong contender for
an invitation to the National
Tournament for their second
year in succession.

vannah were high scorers of the
game with 20 points each. Rob-
ert Lewis had U.

mained undefeated in conference

games as both boys and girls
took doubleheaders from Albany

Religious
Bookshelf

So many students have the
idea that a rehgious book is one
that they would prefer not read-
ing because it is too difficult for
them to understand. But this
type of reading is not the only
one available in the field of re-
ligion. Religious reading trends
are toward books that deal with
moral and spiritual problems in
Christian living, convey an in-
spirational impulse toward per-
sonal self-adjustment or em-
phasize social or ethical matters.
It is interesting to note the cur-
rent socializing and secularizing
of religious activities in an at-
tempt to strengthen youth in
moral faith and principles of
justice and equality.

Books of general interest:
Dark Glory, by Harry V. Rich-
ardson, attempts to discover the
basic difficulties that have set
present patterns of rural church
life. This work brings out the
institutional problems of the
church, the social and economic
conditions and the interracial
atmosphere in which the church
must exist and by which it must
be limited.

Lights Along the Shore, by
Fulton Oursler, is a compilation
of this well known author's
shorter works. These short ar-
ticles are both factual and fic-
tional. Among them are included
some most unusual success
stories.

prefer Luckies to all other brands and by a wide
margin according to the latest and greatest of all
college surveys. Once again, the No. 1 reason; Luckies
taste better. They taste bettr, first of all, because
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco
is toasted to taste better. " It's Toasted " the famous
Lucky Strike process tones up Luckies' light, good-
tasting tobacco to make it taste even better . . .

Tiger''s Roar
Neiv Feature

Nadene Cooper

The Tiger's Roar staff has add-
ed to its publication a new fea-
ture, "A Student of the Month".
This feature was not only added
in an effort to stimulate an in-
terest among the many readers
of the paper, but also to en-
courage and promote the kind
of qualities within students that
are thought to be of prime im-
portance in the development of
a well-rounded individual.

In selecting the student of the
month, the following qualities
are sought: A friendly attitude
toward all, prejudice toward
none; high moral character; ac-
tive participation in various or-
ganizations; normal intelligence;
average and above scholarship,
and a wholesome outlook on life.
These are considered as the most
essential traits which an indi-
vidual must have in order to
represent a well developed per-
son.

Alpha Nu To Be Host to National
Convention of Alpha Kappa Mn

By William Weston

Alpha Nu Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society will serve
a.s host to the Seventeenth Annual Convention to be held March
31-April 2, The theme of the convention will be "The Role of the
Scholar in an Evolving Society."

On March 31, registration for delegates and visitors to the con-
vention will be held at 10:00 a.m, in Meldrim Hall; and will be
followed by chapter reports, re-

ports of national officers, and
the appointment of committees.
Many other events are planned
for the convention.

Founded by Dr, George W.
Gore, Jr. (now president of Flor-
ida A. and M. University), in No-
vember. 1937, and originally
named the Federation of Scho-
lastic Honor Societies, Alpha
Kappa Mu has grown from an
organization of five loyal honor
societies in Negro Colleges to a
present organization of over fifty
chapters. In 1939 Alpha Kappa
Mu became established as a na-
tional organization. Since 1948
the organization has been listed

in Bairds Manual, the official
Blue Book for American Frater-
nities and Sororities. In Febru-
ary, 1950. the Society was of-
ficially admitted as a general
scholarship organization by the
National Association of Honor
Societies.

The purposes of Alpha Kappa
Mu shall be to promote high
scholarship, to encourage sin-
cere and zealous endeavors in all
fields of knowledge and services;
to cultivate a high order of per-
sonal living and to develop an
appreciation for scholarly work
and endeavor in others.

Barbara V. Branson is Presi-
dent of the local chapter and Dr.
E. K. Williams is adviser.

Better Citizenship on Our Campus

Better Citizenship on Our Col-
lege Campus.

During the period of time that
we are exposed to the vast
amounts of wholesome facilities
on our college campus, we should
stop and realize the fact that
each individual is a part of a
whole. Each individual student
is expected to develop himself
to his fullest capacities by ac-
cepting the importance of the
task of citizenship.

In order to Improve in this
area, we as students must drop
our buckets down into the freely
running streams and draw from
them the ideas which will con-
stitute improvement in citizen-
ship. For improvement we must
consider the things with which
we are equipped. We are equipped
with a mind for better citizen-
ship; this mind must be trained
to think of your rights as an in-
dividual an dthe rights of others
as well.

The role of citizenship on our
campus is very essential because
it is something that will affect
all of us pro or con. It is some-
thing that will make our Insti-
tution stand out by indicating
to the world that this is a col-
lege with people who know their
rights as citizens.

Our ideas toward anything
should be expressed in the prop-
er manner so that it can re-
flect Its true value. We as cit-
izens on our campus should use
the different media for expres-
sion, such as the student news-
paper, the student council, vari-
ous programs and social gather-
ings. The process of careful and
thorough evaluation of a per-
sonal opinion should be consid-
ered the force and the actual
opinion that is presented. Let
us pledge to put into effect bet-
ter citizenship on our campus.

The Price of Glory

Cecilio Williams
Man is the most complete class
of animals. One of the basic
differences in man is the varia-
tion of degrees of ambition. The
facts are not clear as to what is
the source of the fantastic drive
known commonly as ambition.

Ambition is evident in the in-
dividual as early as childhood.
The individual then aspires to be
a baseball player, a teacher, an
acrobat, or "just like daddy."

By the time he reaches the
adolescent stage the individual is
curved toward a definite ambi-
tion. A desire to excell in a defi-
nite field is his main purpose.
He competes against others to
satisfy his ambitious eagerness.
The word competition means
nothing to the average man. To
the ambitious it means a chal-
lenge, a method of classification,
a mode of improvement.

Selfishness is one basis of am-
bition. All individuals possess a
certain degree of egotism. This
quality is acceptable as long as
it is employed for the advance-
ment of the individual without
endangering the happiness of
others.

Few scientists, artists, poets
and athletes are bom geniuses
in their fields. Those so called
"gifted individuals" are not only
of high intellect but study and
try to accomplLsh much more
than natural ability could pro-
vide for them.

By

On the other hand, there are
many who are not the genius
type but, with a mixture of self
confidence, sacrifices, and will-
ingness to work excel in achiev-
ing their goals.

A current example of this is
the achievement of James Dens-
ler a former student of Savan-
nah State College. Jimmy, as his
friends call him, was In my es-
timation, a very good student.
Far from being a genius ( he
does not profess to be), he was
one of the most studious pupils
I have known. Densler was nev-
er satisfied until he had worked
all the problems assigned to him
and the ones that were not. He
stayed ahead of the teacher in
her assignments because of his
interest in his lessons.

After the accomplishment of
his goal, the individual estab-
lished a quota within himself in
which his production lives with
his ability, If the production
does not qualify to his self-in-
spection, the ambitious individ-
ual tries to obtain and evaluate
the opinion of others regarding
his ability and product. After
weighing the pros and cons of
the arguments, he tries to better
his product by concentrating in
the area of his deficiency or
"weak spot," In the case of an
awkward basketball player, he
would try to develop his muscu-
lar co-ordination by means of

Message from the President

International News

The voting of the West Ger-
man Bundestag for Germany's
rearmament withing the Atlantic
Alliance was a decisive advance
toward the long-debated, often
despaired of goal of lining up
the West Germans with the
West. This vote; however, was
not the last word, for the Ger-
man Upper House still has to be
heard from. Both sides in the
cold war, that the west and the
business, had labeled the Ger-
man vote a point of no return
and the communists, in a speech
by Foreign Minister Molotov,
retribution should the decision
go against them. I am of the
same opinion as West Germany's
Chancellor Konrad Adenaur. who
maintains that the rearmament
vote need not prevent the Rus-
sians from negotiating with the
west; but in fact it might even
encourage them to negociate, I
agree solely with him when he
said "Strength is what the Rus-
sians respect."

Chiang Kai-shek's beleaguered
Nationalists have made three re-
treats in~"six~weeks and are on
the verge of making a fourth.
First, it was Yilrang that fell
in battle, then the Tachens were
given up under the United States
protection and pressure. Third
the Nationalists have evacuated
Nanchl and presently they are
on the verge of evacuating Mat-
sue. How long will the Nation-
alists continue to retreat with
the communists continuing to
press on? This has been the
question foremost in my mind
since the nationalists gave up
the Tachen Islands. Perhaps an
answer was given when Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles,
told Britain's Foreign Minister
Sir Anthony Eden at the con-
ference of Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization in Bangkok, that
the United States has no interest
in Quermoy and Matsu which
would force Nationalist exacua-
tion; but that an attack on For-
mosa would mean war.

Frani^e's new premier is a Rad-
ical Socialist whose name is Edar
Faure. Unlike Mendes-France
who talked the languaged of ac-
tion. Using such expressions as
"Original," "doring." the need
for a psychological sock," and
"you must choose." Faure talks
the language of moderation and
gradualist. He speaks of "Carom
shots" and "economic billiards,"
If you can't get over an ob-
stacle, go around it," he likes to
say.

Cynics call Faure "the jug-
gler" and the cainet he presented
wbas a masterpiece. An explana-
tion for this name may be un-
derstood from the following
statement. Premier Faure
pledged his government to carry
through Mendes' proposed home
rule for Tunisia, but appointed
as Minister for Tunisian and
Moroccan Affairs a dissident
Gaullist who strongly opposes it.
This particular appointment in-
dicated an attempt to strike an
"exact middle" which might in
practice turn out to be a dead
center.

The foreign policy of Faure is
the same as that of Mendes-
France. He pledges quick ratifi-
cation of the Paris accord for
German rearmament, but a new
effort immediately thereafter for
talks with Russia. Domestically,
he avowed Mendes' "psycholog-

It is interesting to observe the concept which students hold of
a college education. In many instances their concern has been
chiefly centered about education that would ultimately contribute
toward a vocation. This concept grew rapidly under the increasing
industrialization of our society and the growing concept of employ-
ment for everyone. To many, the college education was considered
significant only in terms of jobs or positions which could be secured
at the completion of a curriculum or degree program.

Although many students have discovered that the amount of
time needed to earn a living has been greatly reduced from decade
to decade, they have not recognized the need for training for other
aspects of living. Reference is made here particularly to education
for the use of the lengthening leisure time. Since this period of
time has become a large section of one's Ufe. it now becomes neces-
sary to plan definitely for leisure-time living. Students will need to
learn how to direct their education in this area themselves. The
close relationship of the use of the leisure period to the vacatioi-|
and enjoyable living becomes more evident each year. Along wit!i
formal training one should acquire skills and interests in actlvitiis
which may not necessarily contribute directly to earning a living

Hobbies and recreational activities are basic needs of all in-
dividuals. While the student acquires his college education, he ought

to be exploring activities and learning things that will contribute
to the increasing segment of life known as leisure. Every student
should plan in his schedule some time to learn new games, physical
and social, and activities which one would enjoy doing for the sake
of activity. A variety of interests should be cultivated beyond the
level of the average performance. In practically every instanc',
this program can be integrated with the student's program of
studies without limiting one's success in his studies and at veiy
small or no additional co-st. The time to begin such a program ^
now. It can be started with a single activity and increased bot -|

National News

After savage name-calling po-
htical debate, the Democratic
majority of the House of Repre-
sentatives passed and sent to the
Senate a bill to cut income taxes
by $20 per capita.

It is the belief of this reporter
that the bill will probably die in
the Senate. For the Democrates
it might be better political ideas
than motive ! The voters will
know that the Democrats fought
a good fight for lower taxes. If
it shoul pass, the average tax-
payer would take home only a
$1.55 more a week a dribble un-
likely to start a Democratic flood
tide, especially if an increased
federal budget deficit causes a
rise in the cost of living.

The Masonry
Deparliiieiit

By A. C. Carter
Department Chairman

To the layman, masonry wit i
reference to building construi -
tion is generally conceived as a i
undignified vocation or job thi :
can easily be performed bv
flunkies. However, it should b.'
well understood that the most
outstanding journeymen of this
most unlimited vocation posse.^s
a technical "know how" that is
founded upon an extensive area
of architectural understanding,
mathematics and craftsmanship
dating back to the very cradle
of our civilization. Today, more
than 709c of all building con-
struction is masonry, and that
there will inevitably be an in-
creased percentage is logically
unquestionable.

Masonry at Savannah State
College is not only brickmason-
ry as many of us think. Masonry
has never been so limited as that.
From time to time as many other
vocations and professions, it
must be redefined in accordance
with existing trends. At this in-
stitution, masonry consists of
(1) mixing various types of mor-
tar: (2) brickmasonry; i3) stone-
masonry; (4) concrete masonry;
i5i terrazzo; (6i plastering and
stuccoing; (7) laying glass block;
and 1 8 ) lathing. Some of the
most essentia] related areas in
which training is given, are
architectural drawing, blueprint
reading, masonry mathematics,
excavating, surveying, and speci-
fications. Some carpentry is also
included.

The building of projects rang-
ing from miniature piers, corners
and walls to various types ol
buildings Is emphasized. Masonry
repairs on existing structures
are also included. Objectives, in-
formation and procedures enable
the students to lay out and build
the very unlimited and flexible
variety of projects. Such per-
sonality traits as cooperation,
application and industry, neat-
ness and orderliness, reliability,
initiative, aptitude, workmanship
and speed are stressed, observed
and graded.

Occasionally, field trips are
made to points where building
construction is being carried on,
and to plants producing building
materials.

A Night at a Balloon Ballet

By Janet Colvin

On the night of March 4 more
than one hundred Cinderellas
and their handsome Princes
Charming spent a lovely eve-
ning in the land of a "Balloon
Ballet." This affair was the An-
nual Freshman Ball at Willcox
Gymnasium.

Dancing under the balloon
decorated roof to Tiny Austin's
band, an enjoyable time was
had by all. The ladies were
decked in beautiful gowns of all
the colors in the rainbow. Their
escorts were very handsome in
their dark suits and dinner
jackets.

On arriving at the ball the
guests were greeted by the class
advisers, Miss Althea Morton and
Mr. A. E. Peacock. Many other
faculty members attended the
affair.

Just before intermission the
band played a lively march while
Jaunita Gilbert and Oliver Swaby
led a grand march around the
floor.

After the march Misses Julia
Baker and Arlene Anderson
served orange colored punch and
cookies.

At the close of the evening the
band played "Good Night, Sweet-
heart." After the Cinderellas
and Princes Charming danced to
this last number they all de-
parted at the stroke of twelve.

On the Campus

By Janet D. Colvin

Looking across the hallowed
grounds of SS.C. I see many
attractions in the new fashions.
I see Paris at Savannah State.
The new long rope necklaces,
long waistlines, and bare sandals
continue to be the look for '55.
Many of our young ladies, faculty
and students alike, are truly liv-
ing up to the new look.

I'm sure the fellows will agree
that this "new look" is quite
attractive on the ladies. They
couldn't help but like the Ber-
muda shorts and long socks
which are a part of today's
fashions.

For the coming summer, Paris
designer Dior has suggested
sleeveless dresses with high
necklines. The colors for the
coming season are yellow, deep
rose, pink, avocado green, and
several shades of purple with
white accents assessories. The
favorite fabric will be the per-
manent pleated cotton in pastel
shades.

The new look and new fabric
have added more charm and
glamour to the ladies. This year
more than ever all women are
fashion conscious. We tip our
hats to Mr. Dior and Mr. Deese
of Paris.

My Song!

A Free Verse S. Green

Love is my song; the song I sing;

A song of ecstacy! , . .

The sweetest thing that God has

made
And shall forever be!

Wake up my darling, wake up

I say!
And queen yourself another

king;
For blooming roses lose their

fragrance.
But love is sweeter in the spring!

Let us. then, cherish, and sing,
While college days slowly rein,
That love is sung, with music;

with fun!
Love shall be, must be, sweeter

in the spring!

THE TIGER'S ROAR

March, 195:

Sports As
I See It

By James L. O'Neal

Both Savannah State College's
boys and girls came through as
expected when they won the
S.A.E.C. tournament here in Sa-
vannah State's new gymnasium.

The girls had no trouble win-
ning the championship as they
ran over Albany's States girls
59-30 and then won the final
game 37-21 over Florida Normal
to take the title. Most of the
girls' attack was lead by Clarl
Bryant. Rosa Lee Moore and
Gwendolyn Keith. All three were
placed on the first All-Confer-
ence team. Gwendolyn Keith was
further named the most valuable
player of girls tournament.

The Savannah State boys ad-
vanced to the final by running
away with Albany 94-67 and
edged by Claflin University 61-
59 to take the championship.
This was the second straight
year that Savannah eased past
Claflin. They edged Claflin
85-84 in the semi-final and
went on to defeat Morris for
the championship.

Robert Lewis, Noel Wright, and
Otis Brock were named on the
All-Conference team. Brock was
named the tournament most val-
uable palyer. All three of these
players will return next season.
There will be, however, a big
hole created by tlie absence of
Cecilio Williams, who has worn
the blue and orange his last
time. Williams is a senior from
Panama and has averaged more
than 20 points per game for the
past three seasons.

Gilbert Jaclcson, along with
Clevon Johnson and Charles
Ashe, will probably replace Wil-
liams in the center spot next
season. Jackson is a 6'5" sopho-
more who has shown great prom-
ise this season. Coach Whight
will also be counting on Johnson
and Ashe who have both seen
considerable service in the center
position.

Now that basketball is a tiling
of the past, most of the attention
will be focused on the track and
baseball teams, Last year the
Tigers won the S.E.AC, track
meet and should be better this
year with all of the same boys
back plus a number of freshmen,
who took good in training. The
first meet this year will be March
26 at the Florida A. & M. relays.

The baseball season will open
on April 8 when the Tigers meet
Allen University at Savannah
State's Athletic field. Last year
they played only three games
and looked sharp winning two-
of them.

critical attitude rather than one
of admiration. There are two
many egotists today and Knute
Rockne (Notre Dame's deceased
football coach) said that gotlsm
is the anesthetic which deadens
the pains of stupidity . . . never,
never, give up . . . never alibi."

These are my beliefs. Are they
yours?

The ability to think is very im-

The Bible Says

Bylsaiah Mclver

The one origin of man is not only good Bible but it is a basic
scientific fact. There are no superior bloods and there are no
superior races. However, this is one of the hardest truths for many
Bible believers to accept in America, particularly in the South
where certain people follow the pattern of race superiority.

Those who are responsible for spreading and keeping alive
prejudice and hatred would have us believe that man was not
created of one blood. They may say that some men should not be
permitted to live here on earth, or if they must dwell here on this
earth they should not be permitted to share and enjoy the same
facilities in society.

There are many leaders who deny the basic truths of the Bible.
The most widely known leader of this type was Adolph Hitler. He
taught the doctrine of superior bloods and superior races. According
to him the Negroes and the Jews were the lowest class of humans
and that they should be segregated into certain sections and
destroyed.

Killer's principles caused more than twenty million people to
lose their lives, but he and his principles were removed from the
fact of the earth in Germany. Since the things that Hitler stood
for and practiced were so inhuman, millions of courageous fair
thinking people destroyed him and his teachings in order that the
minority as well as the majority may enjoy some of the pursuits of
happiness that are automatically theirs.

Hitler's teachings and practices were branded as inhuman and
unlawful by every fair tliinking individual on the face of the earth
and yet right here in America there is an organization that teaches
and practices the same things that Hitler was destroyed for.

Everyone knows that the Klu Klux Klan denies the truths of
the Bible and teaches the doctrine of hatred and prejudice for the
minority races, especially the Negro.

Th Klu Klux Klan operates under the identical principles that
Hitler taught. If Hitler was destroyed because of his inhuman
teachings and practices, then why are the Klu Klux Klan being
permitted to operate in certain sections of a democratic country
such as ours?

Before any of us can enter into the kingdom of heaven we
must have hearts like little children.

If we wonder what the heart of a child is like we can watch
their actions in every day activities and come to an answer. Little
children play in harmony together unaware of the fact certain
people have different creeds or that their skins are of a different
color. They continue to play in harmony until they are indoctri-
nated by their parents, who are in many instances considered good
Christians by the society in which they live. Small children play
together in harmony because they are born without any knowledge
of hatred, skin colors or differences in creeds, bloods or races.

Can anything be plainer, when the Bible says that we cannot
gain entrance into heaven until we become as little children?
Little children are without hate, malice or prejudice for their con-
temporaries and they remain this way until they are indoctrinated
by their supposedly Christian parents.

Those of us who aren't being taught that all men are of the
same blood are receiving false teachings. Until our thoughts and

My Views on Phmned Parenthood
By Johnny Gilbert, Jr.

The number of births in a family should be controlled accord-
ing to the amount of wealth that the family possesses. A rich
or semi-rich family can better support a large group of children
than a poor family can.

Birth control is very important in our society because we find
that too many children are being born to parents who are not
capable of giving them the right support. Among the rich class
of people the birth rates are not as high as they are in the poor
class. My explanation of such would be that the rich class has
realized the expense of a large family, and the poor class has still
got that conclusion to reach.

If our birth rates in America must be high, I think they should
occur among the rich and semi-rich class of people so the children
would be supported well, The poor class of people should have small
families, becaase of little wealth they are not able to support large
familieB.

Three outstanding events spot-
light the international news of

this issue.

The resignation of Sir Winston
Churchill as Prime Minister of
Great Britain, who has been
called the greatest man the 20th
century has yet produced, brings
to a close an era enriched with
great achievement and enlivened
with brillance and wit. The only
living member of the famous tri-
angle during World War II,
(Roosevelt, Churchill and Stal-
in) will be long remembered for
his attack against any offender
of freedom.

But his restless genius and
hunger for the limelight makes
it fairly safe to predict he has
not made his final bow to his
vast world audience.

The Asian-African conference
will marke the first time that
Asian and African nations have
got together without the partici-
pation of any western powers,
This conference will represent
more than half the population
of the globe, and in scope and
importance will rank second in
world affairs only to a meeting
of the General Assembly of the
United Nations.

It is the belief of this reporter
that rivalries, cross-currents and
animosities are bound to arise
at this conference, but there is
one feeling that will be shared
by all African-Asian conference
marks a manifestation and up-
surge on the part of the peoples
and nations who. with some ex-
ceptions, have in modern times
played roles subordinate to the
peoples and nations of the west.

The Soviet Union has an-
nounced the arrangement of a
treaty with Austria. In the west
this announcement developed
cautioned optimism. The Aus-
trian-Russian agreement seemed
to enhance the prospect for a
Big Four Conference on Europe
and to provide a concrete test
of the Russians' intention to
deal in good faith. At the same
time there has been a feeling
that Austria was being used as
a Russian pawn in a gambit for
the greater prize of Germany.
I am inclined to believe in the
second view. The Russians' real
aim is to thwart the Western
venture for armament of West
Germany under the North At-
lantic Treaty Organization. They
may be preparing to tempt the
Germans with the thought "You
too can be unified and sovereign
if you stay neutral" The temp-
tation to the Germans is Hkely
to be strong, and the test of
western diplomacy formidable.

Veterans Initiate
Dininfi Hall Project

There has always been an
argument as to who would be
served first in the dining hall;
but there was nerer an answer.
Most of the students crowded
to the front of the line and
struggled to get ahead of the
next person. Now, of course, it
will be different because the
Veterans' Club has started a pro-
ject that is designed to improve
the atmosphere in the dining
hall during regular meals.

To improve the atmosphere,
the club will place monitors in
the dining hall to prevent cut-
ting the line and entering side
doors. This will enable everyone
to have a fair chance of first
come, first sei-ved.

The president of the Veterans'
Club. Mr. James Thomas, has
appointed the following persons
to work in helping put this pro-
ject through successfully: Mrs.
Delores Atterbury, Commodore
Conyers, James Cooper. Reubin
Cooper, Alexander Gardner. Jr..
and Charles Pugh.

This is one of the social edu-
cation projects that has the full
support and approval of the of-
fice of the director of student
personnel.

Speaking of Boohs

By Dorothy Davis

These four books have been
selected as the most popular of
the month and are now in our
library.

To all persons who are inter-
ested in improving their reading
ability the library has recently
received Rudalf Flesch's newest
book, Why Johnny Can't Read
and What You Can Do About It.

Strange as it may seem it is
an angry book by an aroused
parent telling how the American
system of teaching children has
changed since 1925. Why John-
ny Can't Read contains complete
material and instructions for
teaching children to read by the
old standard methods.

The biography Gertrude Law-
rence As Mrs. A written by Rich-
ard Staddard Aldrich is an inti-
mate biography of the great star.

Career Conference
Held on April 4

By Daniel Washington

During the week of April 4th.
and 5th-, The Division of Home
Economics and The Department
of Business Administration spon-
sored The Career Conference at
Savannah State College, The
Purpose of the conference was
to get more of our young peo-
ple interested in applying for
lobs in which they will earn
more money and also have the
advantages of seeking higher
goals in employment.

Mr. M. T. Puryear, Director of
Vocations Urban League, At-
lanta. Georgia, was the keynote
speaker in all college assembly
on Monday, April 4. Mr. Pur-
year pointed out the many job
opportunities that await intelli-
gent and ambitious young men
and women who have the desire
to reach higher goals. Some of
the jobs were Industrial Engi-
neering, Sanitation Engineering.
Personnel Managers, and Secre-
tarial Jobs. Some of these jobs
were not offered in our immedi-
ate section of the country. This
brought out another point which
Mr, Puryear discussed. The need
to Travel. There are many job
opportunities in other sections
of the country and many of us
can fill these positions by doing
a little traveling.

Other participants of the pro-
gram were Dr. W. K. Payne. Pre-
sident of Savannah State College
Mrs, E. R. Terrill, who gave the
purpose of the conference, and
Mr. R. C. Long. Sr. who introduc-
ed the speaker.

Other activities of the day in-

a magnificent romance of our
time the love and marriage of
two vivid, fascinating personali-
ties.

venturous novel is a wealthy
sprout who was as riotous and
rebellious an heiress as ever,
made the 30's blush, the 40's
shout and the 50's beg for mercy.

If you were ever known to
laugh, even just a little, and
liked it, get set for a wonderful
time. Auntie Mame will do the
rest.

Our list of popular books would
not be complete without men-
tioning Jim Bishop's novel. The

written for the first time telling
of the dramatic hour-by-hour

Choral Society
Goes on Tour

By Ethel L. Mack

This is "tour season" for the
Choral Society. All of you have
wondered no doubt, and some of
you have asked about the trips
that we're making. To ease that
wonder here is a synopsis of
what we've been doing.

On March 7. we sang at the
George Washing School in Syl-
vania, Georgia.

After the concert in Sylvania.
the principal of the school. Mr.
Joseph Lacy, took us on a tour
of the beautiful and spacious
campus.

It should be mentioned that
after many years of endur-
ing with an ill-equipped school.
Sylvania will soon be able to
open her doors to a new school.
which is estimated to cost a little
over a million dollars.

On March 31, at 8 p.m., the
chorus sang at the evening ses-
sion of the Alpha Kappa Mu
National Convention. The selec-
tions rendered were "Go Down
Moses", and "Ride the Chariot".
Alexander Luten was the tenor
soloist.

On Friday morning, April 1,
the Choral Society again ap-
peared for the Alpha Kappa Mu
Convention. They sang t h e
"Italian Street Song", with Miss
Lula Hadley, a freshman from
Thomasville. Georgia, as soprano
soloist. So well rendered was
tills selection that it rated an
encore.

On April 5. we gave an after-
noon concert in Dublin, Georgia.
An evening concert was given on
the same date in Lyons, Georgia.
Wednesday evening, April 6,
we give a concert in Statesboro!
Georgia,

April 8 (Good Friday), the
Choral Society appeared at St.
Matthews Episcopal Church in
Savannah, Georgia, singing "The
Seven Last Words of Christ".
This program was given at eight
o'clock in the evening.

On Palm Sunday the Choral
Society presented "Seven Last
Words of Christ". On that Sun-
day, this cantata was recorded
by WJIV, and selected as one of
the programs to be heard on
Easter Sunday.

Our soloists for that Sunday
were Miss Lula Hadley. Earnest
Greene, and Robert C. Long, Sr.
Because of a cold Mr, Joseph
Brown was unable to sing the
tenor solos, but we were more
than grateful to Mr, Long for
taking his place on such short
notice.

Now that you know the places
we went, perhaps you would like
to hear of some of our rendi-
tions.

Usually our first three num-
bers were classics. Some of the
classics that we sang were "God
Be in My Head" by Grant-
Schaefer, "Now Let Every Tongue
Adore Thee" by Bach, "Lacry-
mosa", from the famous "Re-
qieum by Mozart,

And a long and difficult piece
from the Romantic period, "How
Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place"
from Brahm's "A German Re-
quieum".

The ensemble also rendered
numbers on the tour. Some of
songs they sang were "Bless
Thou the Lord. O My Soul" by
Ippolitof Ivanof and "Rockin'
Jerusalem" by Work.

Usually after the esemble per-
formed, the full chorus rendered
such songs as "Dance A Ca-
chucha" from the operetta, "The
Gondoliers" by Sullivan. From
the Operetta "Naughty Mariet-
ta", by Victor Herbert, or the
"Italian Street Song".

Our programs were climaxed
by three afro- American Folk
Songs, Some of these folk songs
were: "Go Down Moses", ar-
ranged by Dr, C, A. Braithwaite,
"There Is a Balm in Gilead", al-
so arranged by Dr, Braithwaite
and "Rice the Chariot", arranged
by Smith,

After each of the Concerts, we
ended with our Alma Mater. "We
Hail Thee S,S,C,"

On our final three concerts,
three words from the "Seven
Last Words of Christ" were add-
ed to the program to emphasize
Holy Week. These words were
received in silent meditation
at all of our final performances.
Whenever the Choral Society
leave the campus, the Alma
Mater is sung. This is a remind-
er that when they are away,
they proudly represent Savan-
nah State College and not the
Choral Society.

Cainpusi Fashions

By Eufienie Julia Baker

Now that spring has come
everyone is gaily dressed with
the season. Spring is a wonder-
ful time of the year. The trees,
the flowers and other shrubs
are beginning to bloom,

I believe that spring is one of
the best seasons of the year, be-
cause our campus is nature it-
self. But as the young ladies and
young men walk around in their
gay and bright colors we can see
that spring is here.

The young ladies have on their
low neckline dresses with their
long string pearls. Most of the
young lasies are dashing for tlie
latest fashion of seamless hose.

The young men are real gone
for the "Mr. B" pink shirts with
the black, brown, and gray char-
coal suits. They are also going
for the rose colored T-shirts,

Thanks to Mr. Easter Bunny,
Easter is here again. Every one
will be wearing his pink, white,
lavender, yellow, and light blue
colors.

"A CHILD'S CROWN"

'Tis oft told in the villages
That a small Boy just a Child
Once left his home to wander far
O'er fields and forest wild.

'Tis oft told in the city squares
How He tamed the savage beasts.
To hear His voice, to be near

Him,
They came from West and East

'Tis oft told in the royal court.-;
That one day came a storm.
The rain fell and the wind bleu

hard;
The Child's love stoll gloweci

warm.

'Tis oft told on the open seas
That He returned whence He wa

born.
Among His treasures was ;

crown
It was a Crown of Thorns.

Too Many Loafers

By Isaiah Mclver

In the past thirty years, Amer-
ican scientists have made gigan-
tic studies in almost every area
in which they have undertaken.
They have made bombs so pow-
erful that they can destroy en-
tire cities with one blast, and
they have built planes that have
broken the sound barriers. Yet,
in spite of these studies that
have been made in science, the
majority of the Americans are
still willing to let the other fel-
low do all of the fighting for
the rights and freedoms which
they enjoy.

If the scientist can toil untir-
ingly to split the atom, surely
we. as American citizens, can
expend some effort to fight for
the things that are more pre-
cious than inventions. It is true
that we are willing to accept
the benefits of our way of life,
but we are seldom found among
those who are fighting for its
preservation.

There is also another group
who won't fight for our way of
life. These are the people who
do not believe in democracy.
They would find it equally easy
to live under a dictatorship, pro-
vided they were among the fa-
vored. Such concepts as the
rights of others, live and let
live, and free speech are foreign
to their thinking and represent
weakness. In their minds these
are many of the evils which be-
set American life. However, we
are not addressing ourselves to
these people. We know that they
won't fight for democracy.

The people to whom we refer
really believe in democracy.
They believe in our way of hfe.
They are decent, j ust people.
In their private lives, they prac-
tice justice, fair play, equality
and give the other fellow all of
the rights that they ask for
themselves. They are intelligent
and well-read. They '"know the
score", and they are fully aware
of what is happening. They
know the significance of men
being fired without charges.
These people know history. They
value such things as freedom of
speech, the right to face their
accusers, the right of freedom to
beUeve in whatever religion they
choose, or to believe in none,
or the right to hold whatever po-
litical or other opinions their
conscience dictates. They know
that all of these things are rela-
tively new. and that these things
have not been enjoyed by man-
kind for scarcely more than 300
years. They know also that they
have been tried before and have
been destroyed, and that thous-
ands of years passed before they
were again enjoyed by mankind

Yet, these good people have
succeeded in finding reasons,
satisfactory to themselves at
least, for avoiding any clash with
those persons or institutions re-
sponsible for the violation and
threatened destruction of our
most basic freedoms and rights.
They say that they have been
"minding their own business"
and "keeping out of trouble". If
you ask them to support some
individual or group who is fight-
ing they reply, "I can't afford
to get mixed up in that- I've got
to think of my work. Everything
that I have been able to accom-
plish during the past ten years
might be destroyed," Do these
people know that what they are
trying to save will be swept
down the road with all of the
other good things of our living
unless we can hold on to the
structure of freedom in which
our life has flowered? They
know that, for as we have ob-
served, these people are well-
read and "know the score," You
find them in most any church.
any school, any office, or organ-
ization. The truth is that they
silence their conscience by tell-
ing themselves that if they get
involved, they would probably
end up by losing their jobs, or
office, or pulpit, as the case may
be, and then, they certainly
could not do any fighting. This
is of course a "dodge.'" and most
of us know it when they offer it
as an excuse.

The results are that the fate
of these, our most, precious
rights, must stand or fall by the
efforts of a small handful of
fighters who have the courage
and the intelligence to stand up
and fight. These few, it may be
said, have figured the percent-
age of what really counts and
are playing for that which
counts. If history acts the way
Arnold Toynbee says it does,
then we may be sure that when
the history of the current years
comes to be written, it will re-
cord as one of the most import-
ant struggles whether freedom
as we have come to enjoy it, was
lost in this atomic age, or sur-
vived.

We believe since mankind has
tasted freedom, he will never
give it up. However, in all hon-
esty, it must be said that it is
only the few who have, up to
now, stood up and said, "We will
never give it up". It must in all
candor be said that the fight for
the rights of the individual, the
rights of a free science, of free
schools and Institutions of learn-
ing, of beliefs, religions, political,
have been carried on by the few
while the vast army of decent,
freedom - loving citizens have
stood In the wings, giving them-

During October the United Na-
tions began its eleventh year of
operation. Since its beginning at
San Francisco in 1945, the U, N,
has worked for its aims with
constructive results, despite
many set-backs and disappoint-
ments. The U. N. has brought
about peace in Palestine, Indo-
china and even Korea, the only
place where troops of the mem-
ber nations were used to sup-
press enemy forces. It has pro-
vided food, clothing and medical
aid through the specialized
agencies for underprivileged peo-
ples.

At the tenth annual meeting
in Manhattan, the General As-
sembly elected Chile's Jose Maza
as its president by unanimous
vote. Maza served as a U. N. par-
liamentarian for ten years. The
Assembly voted for the sixth
year against considering Red
China for membership. It did,
however, adopt President Eisen-
hower's Atoms For Peace Pro-
gram (proposed in 1953) which
was endorsed by the Russians at
the Summit meeting.

After six years on the island
of Formosa, the Nationalists un-
der the leadership of Chiang
Kai-Shek are at the stage of
counter-attacking the Commu-
nist-held Chian mainland.

The Nationalist leader who be-
came president in 1943 following
the death of Lin Len is waiting
for a revolution on the mainland
before attacking. It was report-
ed that millions of Chinese who
no longer bear the sufferings of
the Communists are rising
against their persecutor.

Contradictory to the Geneva
spirit, the Communist has agreed
to provide Egypt with war ma-
terials for protection against her
enemy, the neighboring state of
Israel.

Gamal Aldel Nasser, premier of
Egypt, announced that the deci-
sion to barter with Czechoslo-
vakia was due to the fact that
all Western nations offered Eg-
ypt arms after signing a mutual
security pact while the satellite
nation is supposedly only inter-
ested in securing trade.

To continue this vicious circle,
Israel has appealed to the United
States for armaments and a se-
curity guarantee. Abba Eben,
the Israeli ambassador said no
direct requests have been made
at this time, but added that with
the prospect of Egypt getting
arms from Czechoslovakia "we
think there is an obligation upon
the Western powers not to let
the balance change any further
against Israel."

Earlier Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles proposed a guaran-
tee to maintain the Israel bor-
der against aggression. This
statement has not been clarified.
Could this be a proposal to send
American troops to defend the
borders of Israel?

selves plausible excuses for keep-
ing out of it.

Maybe it has never been this.
However, if that is true, it does
not make less disappointing the
silence and withdrawal of so
many gifted and fine people
from this, the one struggle of our
time which counts most in the
future welfare of this nation,
and indeed of the world.

Messatie from the President

At the beginning of each academic year students in our colleges
have a fresh opportunity to plan and reorganize their educational
programs. For the returning students it is a question of developing
plans already underway or changing plans in terms of new informa-
tion or insight. For freshman students the time is opportune to con-
sider why one pursues a specific program of study. In both instances
the students are required to think through and to evaluate the cur-
ricular activities selected to prepare them for their careers. To go
through such a process students need to know many things about
themselves and about the occupations which they expect to secure
The rate of change and the supply and demand in occupations must
be given major consideration at all times. Since individuals are not
innately destined to follow definite occupations and since one indi-
vidual may be successful in any one of several jobs or positions, one
should select a field in which there would be demand for his services
as well as satisfaction for his hving.

In our college for the past sixty years, students have prepared,
in the main, for positions as teachers. Many of the graduates and
former students have rendered distinguished services In their com-
munities as teachers on the elementary and secondary levels, home
demonstration agents, farm demonstration agents, 4-H club work-
ers, teachers of industrial arts, principals, supervisors, and social
workers. In smaller numbers the graduates of this institution have
gone into medicine, law, dentistry, ministry, business, nursing, and
industry. The changes in our economy over the past sixty years
have had, until recently, little effect on the proportion of the stu-
dents preparing for the field of teaching. Information and facts
indicate that teachers are being trained in excess of the demand
in our state. It is time for a shift to other areas where the services
of trained young men and women are needed. While ranks of tht
teaching profession will continue to be changed by additions and re-
placements, there will be fewer places open each year. Student,
hoping to find gainful employment and to receive adequate compen-
sation for their services will need to enter in larger numbers in-
dustry, medicine, law. business, social work, and government service
Students entering college in the year 1955 will need to consider wha
the outlook for employment and services will be in 1958, 1960, 197i'
and 1980- While there may be many factors that are not definit
at this time, it is now clear that new fields must be cultivated. Ir
the meantime, study and consideration must be given to the selec-
tion of a field of study which will lead to available employment ant
well-adjusted living.

Why Are You Here?

By Louis Hill Pratt. '58

It is quite likely that my topic
has motivated many answers,
but just why are you here? You
may say "I came here as a step
to a medical career, or that you
plan to become a skillful trades-
man, or perhaps a teacher.

We hope that whatever your
goal may be, your purpose here
is not merely to secure a bache-
lor's degree. Surely your goal
will not be reached if you only
carry away a bachelor's certifi-
cate^a mere piece of "paper".
This "paper" takes on a mean-
ing only when you possess the
necessary education to stand be-
hind it; otherwise, it is worth-
less.

Your prime purpose here
should be to better yourself spir-
itually, morally and intellectual-
ly. Our resourceful faculty and
staff and our educational facili-
ties are dedicated to this end.
We invite you to take advantage
of every possible educational op-
portunity. We can only invite
you you must make the deci-
sion. Will you be one to utilize
our modern facilities to the ut-
most, or will you leave, not hav-
ing benefitted from your exper-
iences here?

Besides coming here in an ef-
fort toward self - improvement.
you have come in a quest for

success. Success means man;^
different things to many differ
ent people. Just what does i
mean to you? Does it mean ti
merely survive, or does it mear
to make a contribution to ou:
democratic society? We shouk
all be inspired by Henry Wads
worth Longfellow's i m m o r t a
lines;

Lives of great men all remind u-'
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.

Happiness is the crownin-
glory of your purpose here. Ii

order to be happy and success
ful, it is necessary to develop .
set of sound moral and ethica
values. One of man's foremos
problems is yours also that o;
distinguishing between thos-.
things which are worthwhile an<:'
those which are useless.

To you, the class of '59, w*
sincerely wish a happy and suc-
cessful college career!

Cauipus
Fashions

By Julius E. Baker

Helio, and welcome to the
campus of S.S.C. Since the
weather is running the gamut, it
is very hard to dress to the sea-
son but seemingly the young la-
dies and young men are dashing
out in their cool plaids, stripes
and a series of other new fall
fads.

The fall's top colors on the
campus this year are avocado
green, brown and charcoal gray.

The latest thing for the young
men and young ladies is the
striped blouse and shirt. This
now blouse sensation is one that
the petite or small girl won't shy

Let Us Give Thanks

Roosevelt Williams

Thanksgiving is a beautiful season. It is beautiful because of
the feasting, the fellowship and the fun which is significant to most
of us. Amid the festivities, let us not forget to be thankful.

After looking back and counting the many blessings and ac-
complishments of the year, it is definite that each of the millions of
students across the nation has much for which to be thankful.

We should be thankful for the love of God which is essential to
our prosperity. We should be thankful for our freedom, our tra-
ditions, our country, our parents, our home, our churches, our
schools and for our heritage. We should be especially thankful for
our teachers who have devoted their lives to prepare themselves for
the profession lor which they liave trained.

Let us not shift away from the one reason for which Thanksgiv-
ing is celebrated. If we are not careful, we may find ourselves shift-
ing away from the most important phase of Thanksgiving, It isn't
hard to let the festive determination dominate our minds, However.
if we try to determine or realize the true meaning of Thanksgiving,
one can be assured that the real way to celebrate Thanksgiving is
to give thanks to God for the many things with which He has
blessed us.

Thanksgiving As A
Holy Day

By Alice D. Bevens

On calendars of all people
certain days have been set aside
for special religious or secular
observances. The day of which
the writer speaks is Thanksgiv-
ing Day,

Three seasons of the year
marked major reasons for primi-.
five people to set aside a day
of thanksgiving.

In the fall. December 21, 1620.
Pilgrims landed on the coast of
New England and had many
great sufferings during that win-
ter. In the spring, fields were
planted and the lives of the
Colonists depended on the re-
sults. When the grain was cut,
the harvest was abundant and
there was great rejoicing. Then,
Governor William Bradford of
the Plymouth Colony, proclaimed
a day of thanksgiving.

After this harvest had past,
the other crops were destroyed
and the colonists faced starva-
tion in the summer of 1623 be-
cause of a drought. In the middle
of July, the governor appointed
a day for fasting and prayer.
Soon after, the weather changed,
the crops were saved and an-
other day of thanksgiving, July
30, 1623, was acclaimed.

Both of the preceding cele-
brations had a great influence
in forming the present Thanks-
giving Day, This is a day when
we should set aside aU other
things, pray and give thanks to

God for the many blessings He
has bestowed upon us.

Giving thanks was not meant
only for primitive people. In
some instances, we may give
thanks for things similar to
theirs or for things different
from theirs. Whatever it may
be. there is no reason to disre-
gard giving thanks at any time,
but on Thanksgiving Day. it is
another or a special day for giv-
ing thanks.

We should not only give
thanks for the turkey we eat on
Thanksgiving, but we should give
thanks for every possible means
that help make everyday life
worth living.

When President George Wash-
ington issued the first presiden-
tial proclamation in 1789 to
honor the constitution, a day of
thanksgiving was set aside on
Thursday November 26 1789. to
give thanks for the establish-
ment of a form of government
that provided for safety and
happiness.

President Abraham Lincoln is-
sued the second presidential
proclamation in 1864. stating
that the fourth Thursday in
November be observed as
Thanksgiving Day every year
thereafter.

Not either of the proclama-
tions were issued to give thanks
for having a turkey on Thanks-
giving. Therefore, giving thanks
Is appropriate at all times.

Thanksgiving Day should be a
Holy Day, because it has a re-
ligious significance of great Im-
portance in the lives of all peo-
ple It is a legal holiday, but it

The
Periscope

At the second Geneva meeting,
held only three months after the
Head of State, the Big Four for-
eign ministers met to perpetuate
the "spirit of Geneva."

Eisenhower called this "the
acid test" which would deter-
mine whether the Russians'
change was a genuine one or not.
However, the Russians indicated
by their actions that they had no
intention of reaching any agree-
ment with the West at the sec-
ond Geneva meeting. They felt
no need to bargain further be-
cause they had secured most of
what they desired at the first
meeting. When Russia revealed
Its desire for peace, the West re-
laxed and the Communists re-
flexed their muscles.

The West entered the meeting
united on one basic proposition:
no European security pact nor
discussion of one with the reuni-
fication of Germany. Molotov
said that "European security"
came first and that the reunifi-
cation of Germany was subordi-
nate.

At the meeting, the West pro-
posed Its plan which had been
approved by all the nations of
NATO. The plan would give each
side the right to Inspect the oth-
er after creating an armed belt
of equal depth and strength
across the middle of Europe. It
would establish zones on both
sides of tlie border between the
Communist countries to the East
and a united Germany.

The West also offered to go
to the aid of any pact member
I non-NATO I attacked by any
pact member who belongs to
NATO. This was done to alle-
viate the fear that Germany
once reunited might attack some
neighboring country.

Russia showed its rejection of
this plan by announcing its plan
for the reunification of Ger-
many They proposed that Ger-
many be united solely under
Russian rule. By the action and
the sale of arms in the Middle
East, they have Indicated their
distaste for a peaceful coexist-
ence.

is also a Holy Day, Solemn prayer
and sincere thanksgiving for the
blessings of the year will make
it a Holy Day.

There are other means of
celebrating for this Day. but not
any of these are better than
making the Day Holy,

Some observances of Thanks-
giving Day are through church
services, family reunions, din-
:ners, home festivals, special
parties and other festivities. Re-
gardless of which method of ob-
servance is chosen, be sure to
keep Thanksgiving Day Holy by
praying to give thanks to God.
for all of His blessings through-
out the year.

A blessing is a beneficial gift
that no man can measure and
they are offered abundantly to
anyone who accepts them with
an appreciative mind and sin-
cere thanks.

Message From The President

Fortune telling in some form has been found among many dif-
ferent cultures. People everywhere at some time have wished to
know what the future held for them. Young people in college often
wonder what they will be like ten and twenty years after graduation.
One would consider such information of great value. Almost every-
one would be willing to go on a trip to see any person prepared to
unroll one's future in certain specific areas. Yet. each college stu-
dent has within his reach an excellent forecast.

Students are aware that their futures are being developed and
constructed as they go through college. Those who develop many
interests, show initiative, and take an active part in the college
community can be expected to continue these actlvitls beyond the
college halls. There are many aspects of growth initiated, discovered,
and developed In college which become distinguishing characteris-
tics of the individuals beyond the college walls. College students
who really wish to know their future can unlock the crystal ball
or decipher the youthful palm.

Often one overhears students discussing things or characteristics
which they do not like in their classmates, schoolmates, teachers,
and associates. Sometimes they talk about jealousies, dishonesty, un-
trustworthiness. unreliability, discourtesy, narrow mindedness, and
untidiness. Again they may discuss the positive aspects of these
characteristics found in their associates and contacts. Seldom, how-
ever, does it occur to the Individuals that they too are being evalu-
ated by others. If one wishes to possess characteristics that would
make him a desirable member of a family, a church, a community.
an occupation or a profession, he must discover the characteristics
and seek to acquire them. Studies sliow that often people possess
in large proportions the undesirable characteristics which they dis-
like in others.

Such findings indicate that one needs often to study himself
in the light of the things he likes and dislikes about others. To de-
termine the future one needs to be fully acquainted with the pre,'^-
ent. Almost every student can see himself In the near and distanr
future if he earnestly desires. Once started, the process is revea,-
ing and rewarding,

East of Eden is not a new book
by some standards. This book
was published in June of 1951.
It is not since it was published
in parts in this week's Collier's
Magazine, Readers Digest's con-
densed book club selection and
Sears Readers club selection.

It warrants attention at this
time not because it is Steinbeck,
but because Hollywood has come
up with a movie version, wliich
some proclaim is better than the
book.

East of Eden is a modern par-
able which flashes a panoramic
glimpse of the past 100 years of
America. It is a story of our
march from East and West in
search of an Eden.

The story centers on Adam
Trosk who was appropriately
and Biblically named. He is al-
most unbelievably blinded by his
dream of an earthly paradise.
which lie thinks he has found in
tlie Salino Valley of California,
The novel encompasses the lives
of two families and their part in
the movement westward. It dis-
cusses houses of ill repute, sol-
diering, and displays a plentiful
amount of extreme physical vio-
lence.

The central part of the story
is a discussion of Cain and Abel.
Talkers in this "dragged out"
discussion are Samuel Hamilton
(perhaps the most believable
character among Steinbeck's
hanging of unreal portraits) ,
Lee. an intelligent Chinese who
was raised as a presbyterian, and
Adam. It is Lee who makes the
universal point in which Stein-
beck labors. The moral is that
every man is potentially a Cain
and that it is impossible to live
without feeling guilty and in-
adequately loved. As a result
Steinbeck seems to be saying
that there is a choice between
good and evil and each man
finds his happiness in making
his choice.

But it is in this moral discus-
sion where the author falls down.
He draws an arbitrary ethical
line and places his characters
either on goody side, or the vil-
lainous. Cathey is hateful, hard
to understand and obviously the
evil-to-end-all-evils,

Lee and Sam Hamilton are do-
gooders, Adam and his brother
are clear-cut representatives of
right and wrong; one is sensitive
and idealistic, the other is sadis-
tic and selfish.

Out of the abstract disillu-
sioned main characters he final-
ly finds himself and the world
he must accept.

But there is too much talk.
There are 600 pages and the
story is sprinkled across them
in some spots too spicy and in
other places too thin. In fact,
the author doesn't get his main
character into the Salinal Val-
ley until 100 pages have flipped
by.

Steinbeck is so busy having
his characters placed as symbols
of good and evil that he forgets

one second after the hour the
train has pulled out from the
station, Dr, Gordon tells you a
book is necessary to complete
the course, Dr, Williams tells
you critical thinking is necessary
and that no guess work is done
in his class. Dr. Lloyd says, "Eco-
nomics is hard, you'll read, but
you will not understand what
you read. You will have to come
to class every day and bring your
fountain pen with you, because
you don't write in pencil in

here." Dr. Dean says, "it's up to

you here. No one is going to VoCatioiial

doesn't the voice come to me?
I am the King, not you." Joan
replies: "They do come to you
but you do not hear them. But
if you prayed from your heart,
and listened to the thriUing of
the bells in the air. even after
they stopped ringing, you would
be able to hear the voices as well
as I do."

The bells are ringing now. If
you stop and listen, you can hear
the voices of knowledge, of un-
derstanding, of patience and of
experience from those who are
planted here at Savannah State
College to aid you in furthering
your education so that you might
make your stand in life.

But it's up to you. The deci-
sion is yours. You will have to
decide for yourself. But remem-
ber this Whatever your decision
might be. it will have an influ-
ence on your total life.

By asking yourself these ques-
tions concerning the previous
jobs you have held will help you
to determine your special inter-
ests. Your leisure activities and
hobbies will also aid you in de-
termining the things in which
you are particularly interested.

You need not limit yourself to
the questions listed above, but
may consider any others that
may occur to you or be of some
help in obtaining a sound anal-
ysis. Compare the items you
have considered. Do they give
you any picture of the kind of
things you like to do most? A
careful study of the first group
of questions listed above will de-
termine whether the enthusiasm

decrease the possibilities of drift-
ing into a vocation in which you
will be unhappy.

When you have found the

cide, you have a powerful com-
bination for success.

But you insist that you don't
have the time to study. You will
therefore run the risk of bad
grades or even failure. The in-
structor will look at you kindly
but searchingly as he answers
with finaUty: "It's up to you!"
As he smiles, there is sadness in
his eyes and a touch of pathos in
his voice, for he knows that the
best source of information is
here being offered to you. But
you must decide whether to ac-
cept it or not.

Constantly, we are deciding
whether we are friends or ene-
mies to ourselves. No one else
has that responsibility. Further
than this, the decisions we must
make for ourselves influence our
total lives.

Mythology has emphasized this
truth. The city of Troy finally
taken because the people fool-
ishly opened their gates and
pulled within their walls the
wooden horse which had been
constructed by the Greeks and
into which soldiers had climbed
and waited patiently for their
chance. Once inside the city,
these armed men let out by the
traitor Simon, opened the gates
of the city for their friends who
had returned under the cover of
night. The Greeks set the city
on fire. The people who had
been feasting, died by the sharp
swords of the infuriated enemy,
and Troy was completely sub-
dued.

To prophesy disaster only be-
cause this had been the fate of
former civilization might seem
pessimistic to you, but to many
scholars, it seems quite possible.
This kind of collapse happens
not merely to cities, but often to
a whole social order and to in-
dividuals. Society has often de-
cayed within, long before any ex-
ternal fall has been able to de-
stroy it Those who are wise will
ponder this fact.

Certainly, as individuals, we
see how sharply this truth can
be etched on our minds and lives.
and individuals will decide the
future of our social order.

Quietude taking time to
think is what we need now. Un-
less our thinking keeps pace with
our work, we soon miss the pow-
er we need for life. In a day
when we are madly rushing from
one engagement to another, it Is
imperative to discipline ourselves
with regular study and devo-
tions, to choose periods during
the day when meditation upon
our chosen profession is the one
concern.

plaining to Joan says, "Why

By Roosevelt J. Williams

As a human being is forced
with the ever-present problem
of earning a living, one should
seek the best possible practices
in order that he may face this
task with the maximum amount
of effectiveness

Having a definite occupational
goal will give you a running start
over others who have not organ-
ized their plans to this effect.
By selecting your vocation early
and from the basis of ready-
obtained abilities, skills, and spe-
cial interests you are able to set
a better and more effective pat-
tern for your training.

A careful study of yourself Is
very necessary in planning a
successful vocation. The advice
of Socrates, "Know thyself is
wise counsel, even today. It will
help you to discover your inter-
ests, skills, and special abilities,
and to evaluate your personal-
ity and your physical fitness for
certain jobs.

A careful study of yourself in-
cludes an examination of your
whole person and an appraisal
of all positive and negative fac-
tors which relate in any way to
vocational success or failure.
The first step in such a study is
a search for evidence of your in-
terests, skills and special know-
ledge.

To know your interests, you
have some important and help-
ful information about yourself.
Your school experiences may aid
you in sleeting your special in-
terests. A few questions you
may ask yourself are these:

1. What subjects do I like best?
Why?

2. What subjects do I Uke
least? Why?

3. In what subjects did I make
the highest marks?

4. Are these the subjects that I
liked be.sf If not. why?

5. How about the subjects in
which I made the lowest marks?

These questions should be an-
swered as definitely as possible
in order that you may achieve
the maximum results from your
analysis.

If you analyze your previous
work experiences you will dis-
cover further evidence of your
interests, Here are a few ques-
tions you may ask yourself per-
taining to your previous work.

l.What did I like most about
the job? Why?

2, What did I like least? Why?

3 Was there anything about

the work itself that led me to

quit any particular job? If so.

what was it?

4. Have I ever worked at a job

and therefore a higher societj
I venture to say that probabl
half of the high school graduate
who go to college at the time o
entrance, have any reasons at al
for going and have not set an
goal in life to reach.

I think before entrance to col-
lege one must consider the pur
pose of college and what he ex
pects to accomplish by going to
college, or does he have to go to
college to be successful in the vo-
cation of his choice.

Therefore the question comes
to mind, What college should I
go to or. What shall I choose?
More important should be the
question. What work am I best
suited for and what are my cap-
abilities? Why do I want to
spend five long years incollege?
What can I expect to receive
from my college experince? No
single answer can be given to
this question for all individuals.
One must seek his own answer
within himself in vision of his
life values.

In order to be successful in
college and to receive the most
value from college training, one
must have a life objective. For
one who goes to college without
an objective in life to work to-
ward, most likely finds himself
making poor grades and eventu-
ally going back home a failure.
He fails, not because he never
knew what he came to college
for in the first place. We very
easily get discouraged if there is
no goal for which we strive to
reach, and there will be a lack
of effort and interest in doing
college work. To set a goal for a
college career gives one the need-
ed incentive and interest to

Study to larn the things he
knows he must learn in order to
reach the goal that he expects
to reach in life.

If we are some of the fortu-
nate few who graduate from col-
lege, regardless to what work we
have chosen, or what field of
profession we go into, we will be
looked upon as leaders in the
community in which we hve. We
will be expected to have an an-
swer to many of the questions of
life. We must therefore find
pleasure in learning and con-
stantly practice what we learn.

There are young men and wo-
men who go to college making
the sad mistake of thinking that
college will make a new man or
woman of them. They form the
wrong concept of college and un-
less soon corrected they will
find that they wait in vain for
college to do for them what they
need to do for themselves. With
this conception of college, one's
time and money spent in college
will have profited him nothing.

Everyone shouldn't go to col-
lege. Unfortunately, t h e r e' s
some who are unable to attend
college because of financial rea-
sons, but there are precious few
who do not have the mental
ability to do average college
work, once they have finished
high school, if they find the Col-
lege work best suits their needs.
For those who go to college with-
out a sound and definite goal to

reach, if by some means they
stay to graduate, they will find
that going to college was only
time and effort thrown away.
Their college career meant noth-
ing and the time ond money
spent in college was an extrava-
gant waste.

In order to be successful! and
receive the most value from a
college career, one must have a
definite goal for life, and in-
stead of waiting for college to
make a new man of him study
to learn and elevate himself and
by so doing he shall find pleas-
ure in working toward a worth-
while goal.

S.S.C. Presents
Pearl Primus

Gwendolyn C. Proctor
The Lyceum Committee of Sa-
vannah State College presented
Pearl Primus and Company on
Thursday, November 10 at 8:15
p.m., as the first attraction of
the 1955 Lyceum Series,

Out of the vast storehouse of
knowledge and experience. Miss
Primus used her powerful imag-
ination to create the most dy-
namic and artistic dance presen-
tation. The program was based
upon elaborate ceremonies of the
jungle, the little-known ritual
dances of Melanesia, the fascin-
ating legends and Calypso of
the Caribbean, and the soul-
stirring spirituals and jazz of our
United States.

"Shango" featured Miss Prim-
us in all the dramatic vitality of

her technique. Portraying the
ancient Yoruba. God of Thunder
and Lightning, she seemed to
emerge from nowhere to chal-
lenge the present and the future
with the power of the past. She
spread the rhythms of her Shan-
go drummers like an enchanted
carpet beneath her feet and for
her the ground does not exist.

The auditorium was filled to
its capacity.

With a supporting cast of top-
notch dancers, musicians and
singers, this company has suc-
ceeded in presenting on stage
an artistic triumph in dance.

This attraction was held in
Meldrim Auditorium and was
open to the public without
charge.

Albany State College's football

College's athletic field proudly

being Georgia's only undefeated
college eleven. After 60 minutes

girdiron with fame untarnished
and a 23 to 6 victory.

The team from Dougherty

James, Quarlrrbark
.For Tigers

Roland James, a freshman
majoring in Physical Education
and minoring in Business Edu-
cation, is one of the regular
quarterbacks for the Savannah
State Tigers, who sees action in
most of the games that the Tig-
ers play. He has proven that he
is quite capable of handUng the
key position by his performances
in the first three games that the
Tigers have played. In the Flor-
ida Normal game, he scored one
touchdown and passed for an-
other. He has also been one of
the main reasons why the Tigers
have been playing like cliam-
pions,

While he was playing at Wood-
ville High School last season, he
was the first string quarterback.
His ability to elude his oppon-
ents was one of the reasons why
the Woodville boys were city
champions last season.

Upon graduation from SSC he
plans to become a high school
football coach.

Home Economics
Bazaar

The division of Home Econom-
ics had its annual Bazaar on
Wednesday, December 7, at
Hammond Hall from four to
nine p.m. It was rated even bet-
ter than last year's. Dancing
and games were available for
everyone's enjoyment.

The foods classes made pies,
cakes, and cup-cakes, fried fish,
chicken (barbecue), rolls,
cookies, ribs, coffee, slaw, potato
salad and hot dogs which were
sold.

On sale and display from the
clothing area was a variety of
beautiful aprons, shoe-bags of all
sizes, place mat sets, toaster and
mixer covers, cosmetics capes,
and laundry bags.

A new and adventurous addi-
tion was added to the Bazaar;
Items were raffled off such as
cakes, chickens, hams and five
gallons of gasoline.

The proceeds from the sales
are to go into the club's treasury,
and to send a student represent-
ative to the meeting of the
American Home Economics Asso-
ciation.

We believe the interest in the
Bazaar will continue and each
year will grow better and better

Okwii-ry Speaks
To College

c?
Mr. Isaka Okwirry, District Of-
ficer of Kakamega, Kenya. East
Africa, and participant in the
Foreign Leader Program of the
International Education Ex-
change Service of the United
States Department of State,
spoke to the Savannah State
College family last week.

Mr. Okwirry stated that his
main reasons for coming to the
United States were.i 1 ) "to create
a relationship between people
of America and East Africa," (2)
"to see how the education set-up
is going, and also to try and se-
cure a place for one or two boys
who are willing to come for edu-
cation," (3) "to see the extension
.services and good farmers of
America."

He brought out several Import-
ant facts about Kenya, East Af-
rira, which covers 225,000 miles
and has a population of six mil
iidu people, pointing out that
Kenya is governed by a governor
appointed by the Queen of Eng-
land and all other officers are
appointed by a Council Officer
in England.

The country is divided into six
provinces and each province is
governed by the Provincial Com-
missioner, Each Province is di-
vided into four Districts looked
after by the District Commis-
sioners. Each District is divided
into four parts ruled by the Dis-
trict Officers. Mr. Okwirry is the
first African to be appointed as
District Officer.

There are no college in East
Africa, but there are schools

that go as high as twelfth grade.

Pence On Earth, Good JFill To All Men

By Louis Hill Pratt, "58
One thousand nine hundred
and fifty-five years ago, the cur-
rently well-known Bible passage
"Peace on earth, good will to all
men" originated.

In those days, men respected
this idea. They felt that the love
of God and His son, Jesus, sliould
be spread througliout the entire
earth. They knew that this was
the only way to have peace and
good will to all men.

Let us go back to the time of
the origination of these famous
words. Universal understanding
and knowledge were low, in com-
parison to our present day
achievements.

The gold, frankincense and
myrrh-bearing shepherds were
illiterate men. They knew only
the love of God and the good-
will of their fellow men, These
men used their knowledge to
spread peace and goodwill. Sure-
ly they gained favor in the sight
of God.

But what has happened to the
peace and goodwill of old? What
has become of the love of God
which manifested itself in the
humble shepherds who brought
their gifts to the Christ-Child?

The truth of the matter is that
increased knowledge has so
modified our society that we
cannot realize our dependence
upon Almighty God.

We cannot practice good-will
toward our neighbors because we
are too busy segregating and
discriminating against our fel-
low-men in our selfish quest for
the recognition of society.

"Peace on earth, good-will to
all men" has been challenged. It
even has been changed! This is
entirely too broad in our present
day ! The advocation now is
"Peace on earth after the fulfill-
ment of my own selfish desires
and peace to all men of good-
will, if they are of a particular
race, creed or color."

With this in mind, we have
not retained the true feeling of
this idea. We repeat the words
at this season of the year; yet
they are only words. We don't
realize and appreciate the true
meaning of them.

We should stop for a moment
from our busy schedules, to, think
on this idea. Then, we would
find no time to segregate none
to discriminate against our fel-
low men. We would find war and
bloodshed out of place in our
modern society, and our world
of today would be one of uni-
versal understanding and last-
ing peace and good-will to all.

Sincere wishes for a most hap-
py and enjoyable Yuletide Sea-
son to all members of the SA-
VANNAH STATE COLLEGE
FAMILY, along with hopes for a
prosperous nineteen hundred
and fifty-six.

Greetings From The Staffs

We the members of the Tigers' Roar Staff and the members
of the Yearbook Staff are sending you the same old wish but this
year wc are mighty sincere. We are wishing all of you a Merry
Christmas and a very prosperous 1956.

The Things Love Is

Oh, love is such a funny thing.
It makes you laugh, shout and

sing.
The hour it comes your cares

and troubles
Are gone like bubbles.
Oh. love is such a common thing.
The beggar man. the proudest

king.
Fall into love's sweet magic sway
And beg to stay.
Oh, love is such a magic thing.
Your very heart and soul take

wing.
You rise and soar on clouds of

bliss
At every kiss.

And love's a fragile, sacred thing.
So let it to your bosom cling.
Heaven's below and not above.
When you're in love.

Because Christ was born of Mary
So humbly at the Inn
Not in rich attire but of low

By

This is an age in which men
seldom sit in conference and ac-
complish a peaceful settlement
or come to an agreement that
would be in accord with the ma-
jority of the peoples involved.
Rather than to enter these con-
ferences with open minds, more
than often the conferees enter
into conferences with set opin-
ions, and prepared statement to
demand rather than ask. They
seem unwilling to respect the
rights and opinions of others and
ofttimes are not expressing the
desire of the nation's people.

A most glaring example of this
is the more recent Geneva con-
ference. Both the East and th^
West had prepared agendas that
did not agree on one single point
The West refused to give in tn
the East and the East meanwhilr
rather than attempt a compro-
mise gave its plan for a unified
Germany, disarmament, and im-
provement of East and Western
relationship. As a result nothint^
was accomplished.

However, at a later meeting'
Molotov and Dulles agreed uu
the admission of seventeen na-
tions to the United Nations, four
of which are CommunLst. This
agreement in which Britain and
France concurred would break

Message from the President

A few years ago psychologists
and students of human behavior
were searching to find how early
individual's began certain activi-
ties. In studies of Infants and
early childhood, they found that
most of the basic behavier proc-
esses existed or could be easily
acquired. There is no longer any
question concerning the thinking
abilities of children and adoles-
cents. Just as those studies have
thrown light on thinking so
other studies have indicated that
characteristics of good citizens
appear early in life and show
progressive development as one
exercises them.

In our colleges there are sev-
eral million young men and wom-
en who are developing citizen-
ship qualities. In some colleges
much growth takes place in this
area because the students par-
ticipate in the major community
activities, and they exercise gov-
ernmental functions necessary
to provide for the welfare of the
school community. The student
body arranges to set up regula-

tions which will promote the
welfare of students and the in-
stitution. Provision is also made
for the collection of funds which
will be needed to support thp
activities desired. In addition
provision is made for participa-
tion in the drives and campaigns
for funds sponsored by organi-
zations like the American Rei)
Cross, American Cancer Societ\
Polio Drive. American Heart As
sociation, World Student Fund
Tuberculosis Association, and thi
local community chest. It is de-
sirable that students shouln
contribute directly from thei;
own resources some money to
ward the running of the institu
tions that this aspect of partici
pation, when started in elemen
tary and high school, can reacl
near adult proportions by th.
time the student reaches college
Every student should evaluai
his education in terms of citizen
ship objectives as well as in re
gard to academic goals.

The Speeder's Song

The Xavier University News
recently printed this advice es-

foot on the gas pedal. It's en-
titled "Sing While You Drive."
At 45 miles per hour, sing:

"Highways are happy ways."
At 55 miles per hour sing;

"I'm but a stranger here."
At 65 miles per hour, sing;

"Nearer my God, to Thee."
At 75 miles per hour, sing:

"When the roll is called up
yonder. I'll be there."
At 85 miles per hour, sing:

"Lord, I'm coming home."

Where Does the Time Go?

A study recently completed by
the Department of Student Life
at Douglass College gave the an-
swer to how students spend their
time. It was estimated that the
"average undergraduate devotes
a forty hour week to academic
pursuits, including sixteen hours,
forty minutes in attending class-
es and twenty-six hours, twenty-
two minutes in class prepara-
tion."

solved the Assembly and voting
for a new National Assembly

for a more stable government.
He is also asking that the system
be changed so that the dissolu-

Poinleis To
Gift-Givers

James U. Mclver
Well, guys and dolls, Christmas
is just a few days away. X assume
that the major thought which
is pacing through your minds is
"What am I going to give that
dream' of mine as a Christmas
gift?"

Among the many gifts that
may be exchanged are: books,
musical recordings, candy, flow-
ers, pens, stationery, photos, et
cetera. An embarassing situation
will occur if you distribute the
same photo of yourself to friends
of your loved one.

Gifts for members of the fam-
ily should be presented infor-
mally. One should have little or
no trouble deciding what type of
gifts to purchase for members of
the family, especially if you have
spent most of your life with
them.

When you receive a gift in a
person-to-person manner, one
should not hesitate to open the
gift immediately, and show warm
and sincere expressions of appre-
ciation and thanks.

If it is sent by- mail, one or
two days after receiving a gift.
one should send the donor a
letter of thanks.

The true spirit of giving really
should be, "To bestow freely
without hope of a return." I as-
sume that it is inevitable for
anyone not to give at least one
gift to someone for Christmas.
Remember the saying, "It is bet-
ter to give than to receive," and
make your Christmas a signifi-
cant and an enjoyable one.

Football Season
A Success

The Savannah state College
Tigers have witnessed one of
their most successful football
seasons in many years. The
scores for the 1955 season were
Bethune Cookman 43, S.S.C. 2;
Florida Normal 14. S.S.C. 22;
Morris College 12, S.S.C. 6; Al-
bany State College 23. S.S.C. 6;
Paine College 0. S.S.C. 0.

The Tigers won their home-
coming game by defeating Claf-
lin 18-6. It had been five years
since they had won a homecom-
ing game.

Next season should be an even
better one for the Tigers with
the return of those hard hitting
freshmen, and many of the other
teammates. The excellent coach-
ing staff that's working with
Coach Ross Pearley should make
the 1956 Tigers team the best
that has ever performed on the
S.S.C. gridiron.

How One Man Sees Alumni

The Holcad published at West-
minster College has a columnist
named Dean English and recent-
ly he ran this bit about alumni:

A great deal of alumni enthu-
siasm for their college is "juve-
nile, vain and po.ssessive." says
Sydney J. Harris. Chicago News
sports columnist in the new vol-
ume of the Going-to-CoIlege
handbook. Harris indicates that
such alumni are "not really loyal
to their alma mater" but simply
want a winning team to bolster
their egos. All this "pressure" he
says, is "a bleak reflection of
the kind of education they re-
ceived there, since the highest
function of education is to instill
a sense of value into students.

Book Week
Assembly

"Let's Read More" was the
theme of the Book Week Pro-
gram presented in Meldrim Au-
ditorium on Thursday, November
17. 1955 at 12 o'clock noon.

The program included the pre-
lude, announcements, a hymn by
the audience; scripture, Mary
Pearson: prayer, Marian Butler;
the occasion, Patricia Bass; the
play. Powell School; comments.
President W. K. Payne; the Alma
Mater, audience; and the post-
lude.

With the title "Wonders of
Story Book Land", students of
Powell School presented a very
stimulating play.

The costumes and properties
represented characters and scen-
eries in a book.

In the cast were. Delores Hos-
kins, Phillip Dryer, Joan Wright,

Fashions

The Fashions that are being
worn on the campus both by the
young men and the young wom-
en are very charming.

In this issue I am going to
Jive the young men and the
\uung ladies a few high points
!liat will aid them in perfecting
tluMr dress for formal and semi-
[orinal affairs. For dances, the
iiiUowing styles are very appro-
ruiate: the beautiful bailarina
.cngth gowns, the low-cut dress-
es with the V or the U, and long
party dresses with the square
necklines.

Now, to the young men, your
charcoal black, gray and brown
plus the other shades with ac-
cessories to match are real gone
this season.

The young ladies are wearing
Bermudas with suspenders and
sex to match when they step out
in their sports outfits.

Here are some glamor tips for
Ihe young ladies:

1. Select clothes that will
bring out the shade of your eyes.

2. Get out of the habit of
walking with your head down.

3. Always wear a smile be-
cause it brings out your charm
and beauty.

4. Don't wear bright red fin-
ger nail polish on your dates.
The natural shade is preferred.

5. If you smoke, use nicotine
remover to remove nicotine
stains from your fingers.

6. If you have halitosis, get
some type of drug which is
lecommended for unpleasant
iiieath.

I am sure -that all of the young
men and the young ladies are
going to be very courteous and
kind toward their fellowmen.
This is the prerequisite to being
popular and charming. So long
now until January.

She spoke concerning the quali-
ties of a good student assistant.
Miss Jordan stressed the differ-
ent area of student counselling.
Some of these areas were: Indi-
vidual teaching, short confer-
ences, advising, social and voca-
tional counselling, therapy, skill
remediation, and high-level skill
instruction. She emphasized the
skills needed for these areas and
also the need for growth in ma-
turity.

The officers were installed by
Dr. Brooks who stressed the im-
portance of each office.

The Collegiate Counsel offi-
cers are: George Williams, presi-
dent; Reuben Cooper, vice-presi-
dent; Angela Meadows, secre-

Census of U. S.

Over 9,000 U. S. students stud-
ied abroad during 1954-55, ac-
cording to the preliminary re-
turns, released yesterday, of a
survey taken by tlie Institute of
International Education, 1 East
67 Street, New York City.

Initial returns from this first
statistical report on American
students abroad indicate that
9,262 U. S. citizens studied in 47
foreign countries and political
areas during the past academic
year. The survey was limited to
students having both U. S. citi-
zenship and permanent resi-
dence in the United States.

The Institute's survey, first
undertaken as a pilot project in
1953, was conducted by means of
a questionnaire sent to 1,000
institutions of higher education
in 74 foreign countries and polit-
ical areas. Replies have been re-

To stimulate, motivate, devel-
op, expand and promote interest
in the various phases of this
work among students and teach-
ers throughout the State of
Georgia, several activities are
conducted here at the college
each year.

The State Trade Contest for
high school students is conduct-
ed each year for boys in this ac-
tivity. The number of partici-
pants has increased from 25 to
275. Trophies and certificates
are awarded to the first place
winner and then each team is
sent to represent the whole State
in a National Contest. Georgia
contestants won six National
first place trophies out of ten
areas during the contest for 1955.
The 1955 contest was held at
Arkansas A <Si M College.

The other annual activity is a
trade conference for co-ordinat-
ors of DCT programs and Voca-
tional Trade teachers. Also
short courses of three weeks du-
ration are held each summer for
State Trade teachers, all of this
is for the purpose of improving
instruction among shop teachers
in the Slate of Georgia. Experts
from other states are called in to
assist in this program.

Thus through these services
the division at the college is aid-
ing in the promotion of a good
educational program for Georgia

placed on the "rah. rah" side of
collegiate life drew this sarcas-
tic bit of writing from Sam
Chapman, columnist for West
Virginia University's Daily Ath-
enaeum:

"What do most people go to
college for in the first place?
Four years of "college life" of
course, and the old "rah, rah,
rah ! " Some students want to
learn a little something on the
side, but this is only secondary.
With this in mind, it seems quite
logical that observance of fresh-
man rules should play a large
part in participation in honor-
aries. Someone who misses pep
rallies for such a silly reason as
studying for an exam, someone
who neglects to wear a beanie,
or someone who doesn't happen
to like football, should by all
means be excluded from honor-
arles. We should honor those
who quote the "Alma Mater"
and "We Want a Touchdown"
to enthusiastic perfection.

It is time for the old fogies to
realize that this is not an age of
books and learning. This is the
age of mass production sports
and enforced freshman rules.

John won the contest twr.

defended his title with a spat o'

Now he's going after the titl'

Triumph vs. Defeat

By Louis Hill Pralt, '58

When two persons or groups of
persons take opposite sides on
an issue, triumph and defeat are
the probable consequences. The
prize of the winner is triumph
and defeat is the loser's lot.

It is generally easy to profit
from a triumph, and therefore,
the concern here is directed to
the potential profits of defeat.

Technically, there can never
be two winners in any cause.
But if the experience derived
from an encounter profits each
party equally, there is complete
triumph.

It is here that I quote Keel
who stated. "There are some de-
feats that are more triumphant
than victories".

The object here is an attempt
to show how both victorious and
non-victorious experiences may
promote future victories.

It is likely that those of us
who have participated in any
type of competitive activity have
been both victorious and van-
quished.

Success in a field of endeavor
depends not so much on victory
as it does on the use one makes
of the total experiences derived
from his defeats and triumps.

1 should think that the noblest
and wisest men who have ever

lived were those who consistent-
ly searched defeat for some les-
son or moral, and have utilized
this product in future encoun-
ters.

The first step toward defeat is
lack of confidj?nce. Secondly,
determination falters, resulting
in despair and the ill-founded
conclusion that defeat is inevit-
able. This is the ideal set-up for
defeat, for once one sees defeat
as inevitable, it invariably en-
sues. However, if we endeavor
to retain our self-confidence and
make a sincere effort to view the
situation in its real light, rather
than from a pessimistic or
idealistic point of view, our
chances for success would be in-
creased, thus promoting our po-
tentialities.

The duration of our determ-
ination should be dependent
upon the relationship of the
value of expended efforts to the
value of the anticipated gain
through victory. Otherwise, the
value of our efforts may exceed
our victorious gain. Thus, we
have achieved a triumph that
could hardly be termed victor-
ious, and v;hich might be termed
a "Pyrrhic Victory", which is a
triumph gained at too great a
cost.

What Happens
On The Road

Isaiah Mclver

Only a small minority of the
students at any college in the
United States or any other coun-
try ever get the opportunity to
travel along with their football,
basketball or other teams when
thsy have games to play on the
road. If some of the staunch
supporters of the game of foot-
ball or basketball could see what
happens to the visiting team
they would lose all interest in a
game of basketball or football.

It is quite evident that all of
the games can't be played in the
home stadium or on the home
court. However, in many of the
confersnces it is almost impos-
sible to win a game on an op-
ponent's home court and the
only reason you can win a foot-
ball game away from home in

]\egro His!ory Week

Koee IVI, IManigault

As we all know we celebrated
American Negro History Week
February 12-19. The story of the
American Negro began in Af-
rica, more specifically on the
Wsst Coast, whence came most
of the slaves to the New World.

Formal education of Negroes
in the United States began in
1865. As measured from this
starting point the Negroes have
made tremendous educational
advances.

Viscount Bryce once said that
the American Negroes in the
first thirty years of his libera-
lion made greater advances than
was ever made by the Anglo-
Saxon in a similar period. Ly-
man Abbot stated "Never in the
history of man has a race made
such educational and material
progress in forty years as the
American Negro."

Ray Lyman Wilbur stated.
"There is no more amazing pic-

For the first time since 1947,
the French National Assembly
elected a Socialist as premier.
Guy Mollet elected by an over-
whelming majority will head the
twenty-second postwar cabinet.
Needing the support of the Com-
munists to win, he stated that
no commitments had been made
nor would any be made to them,

Mollet called for peace in
North Africa where the French
have been engaged in combat
with Algerian rebels for months.
He called for more liberty and
justice for the North Africans;
a modest social reform program
calling for the establishment of
an old-age fund and longer va-
cation; and changes in the con-
stitution and in the election sys-
tem.

The followers of P o u j a d e,
however, vigorously opposed
Mollet for the premiership.
Poujade in outlining his pro-
gram to his Deputies decreed
that they must turn over their
salaries to him, (Each deputy
makes about $600 a month). He
plans a revival of the old States-
General, a medieval body com-
posed of the clergy, the nobility
and the bourgeoisie, Poujade
promises that his Deputies will
rise at the proper time and de-
mand of the National Assembly
a modern States-General having
four classes : shopkeepers and
other trademen; farmers; em-
ployees; and the academic class.

This writer wonders if the
French people will support Pou-
jade's proposal as he expects
of them. Even though the
French are desperate for a
chance that will stabilize their
government, making it more dif-
ficult for the Premier and his
cabinet to be their government.
making it more difficult for the
Premier and his cabinet to be
overthrown, only an idiot can
expect the people to accept such
a drastic change because it was
the States-General that caused
the uprising among the French
in 1789.

Once again Russia is portray-
ing the "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde" role.

Recently Bulgania submitted
through Russia's ambassador
George Zarubin an invitation to
the United States to join in a
twenty - year non - aggression
pact between the two countries.

President Eisenhower in re-
fusing this offer pointed out
that the treaty was already
covered by the charter of the
United Nations. He also pointed
out that the Communists have
refused to try to unify Germany
by free election and to permit
"open skies" inspection as a step
to non-aggression.

While Russia desires peace by
words, their actions indicate
otherwise. For the past years
they have provoked incidents of
conflicts all over the world. In
recent times they have been in-
vading the waters of Norway;
creating anti-West feelings in

ture in the history of education
than that presented by the
American citizen of the Negro
race.

Let us as Negroes keep striving
to make the future more suc-
cessful than our past. "As we
climb the ladder of progress let
our goals be to find success."

As one visits some cities i nthe United States, his attention is
often drawn to their orderliness and cleanliness. Wherever such
conditions are maintained one feels uplifted as he passes or pauses.
This same feeling of buoyancy shows itself in many types of situa-
tions and many different places. If a study is made of schools, the
extent to which the rooms and facilities are in order and clean be-
comes an index of the type of teachers and pupils who study and
learn there. Dormitory rooms, assembly halls, lounging centers, and
play areas produce a similar feeling when they are neat, clean, and
orderly Parking areas often indicate the thoughtfulness and the
extent to which habits of cleanliness have been generalized.

Students acquire habits in these areas in much the same way
that they acquire other kinds of learning. A student who arranges
his work in mathematics systematically and orderly does not be-
come confused when he reaches the problem area, Written and oral
expression also show evidences of system and order. There are no
areas in our school and school activities where system and order
will not improve the results which we hope to achieve. Individuals
who make up our school community can decide to create an inspir-
ing and beautiful college. As an institution achievement, it must
first be an individual achievement by those who study and work
here. Savannah State College should create an atmosphere which
makes learning and habit forming in the area of cleanliness anrl
orderliness increasingly enpoyable,

the Middle East; exploiting peo-
ple everywhere by instigating
riots; and creating disturbances
and raising hell in general.

Is it peace that they really are
.seeking? Are their actions in-
dicative of a nation seeking
peace when they go into a coun-
try and support demonstrations
against the friends of democ-
racy, and against the leaders
and people so that they may be-
come strangers in that nation?
The answer is no! It is not
peace but rather world domina-
tion the Communists seek. They
are trying to dominate the
world not as Napoleon. Hitler
and other dictators and warring
nations did by brutal strength
but by handshaking and stab-
bing a nation in the back at the
same time. It is a pity that they
were not kicked out of the
United Nations when it was dis-
covered that the Russians were
providing the enemies of the
United Nations with arms even
though all nations are pledged
to the defense of the other na-
tions. The United Nations
should have a means of expell-
ing any member nation found
guilty of provoking uprisings.
Then the Communist snake will
show its true color.

It is not to be forgotten that
Lenin remarked in 1918 that the
road to Paris leads through New
Delhi.

Paradise

By Isaiah Mclver

We shall meet above the stars
That shine in silent skies m}

love,
Where only love and joy

are found
Far above the sorrowing seas,
Where love's tender words are

heard
And the songs of love forever

rise.
Where only we shall reign in jov
Upon our thrones in paradise.
Afar from all shadows and

gloom.
Where mellow Acardy is know i
And perfumed gardens of

flowers bloom,
Is where we'll be forever more
In love's eternal paradise.
The unblinking stars shall fill

the skies
And the birds will sing a ture

as sweet
As the harmonies from a

Heavenly choir
Shall lull our souls to paradise.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Former Student
Appointment- At
Syracuse U.

Miss Ida Girv?n, graduate of
Savannah State College, captain
of its championship girls' bas-
ketball team and an all-around
student, is the cadet in charge
of the Library School at Syra-
cuse University. Syracuse. N, Y,
There are four assistants work-
ing with her. Miss Girven's ma-
jor was social science. She is a
native of Amsterdam, Georgia
and had a three year basketball
scholarship at Savannah State
College.

The cadetships are the most
popular in the field of library
service. In cooperation with the
Cyracuse University Library, the
School of Library Science is en-
abled to appoint six graduate
students each year to post on
the library staff for a period of
two yeais- These cadets are per-
mitted to undertake studies in
the school to the amount of two
courses each in the fall and
spring term and one in the sum-
mer free of tuition charge. They
are engaged on a 30 hour basis
with a basic salary.

Campus Police
Appointed

By Daniel Washington

The Office of Student Person-
nel Services is happy to an-
nounce the appointment of two
young men to the positions of
campus policemen. These young
men are Frank Chappel and Al-
bert King. It will be their duty
to direct auto control traffic
here on the campus. They will
also have the authority to act
as regular policemen in case of
emergencies.

Formation of the campus po-
lice has been for a long time a
part of the overall plans of the
President and college develop-
ment. These plans are being im-
plemented presently.

There are many benefits to
be had from the inauguration of
th? traffic and safety program
throughout the commun-
ity. These benefits include the
personal protection of the stu-
dents, the faculty and staff and
many visitors we have on the
campus. The campus police will
also benefit the college and the
Civil Defense Program in the
immediate vicinity by participa-
tion in the Civil Defense evacua-
tion program.

The Savannah State College
family is asked to comply with
the rules and regulations that
have been set up by the campus
police. We need the complete
co-operation of each individual
student and faculty member in
carrying this program over.

many instances is because the
visiting team is a great deal bet-
ter than home team.

In basketball more so than
iootball, it seems as though the
officials are out to give the visi-
tors a defeat. In many cases it
seems as though the officials are
given the numbers that the high
scoring players are to wear, and
when the game starts the offi-
cials start their cheating process
of calling traveling even when
the player isn't walking or they
will call fouls that haven't been
committed by the player whom
the referee tells to raise his
hands. These accusations sound
fantastic to those people who
never get the chance to travel
with their team. However, the
visiting team and the small
number of visiting students
know these aren't accusations.
i.iut facts.

On numerous occasions the
referee calls non - committed
fouls on the visiting team espe-
cially when the visitors are in
the lead so that the home team
will have a chance to tie the
score or take the lead. Crimes
of this sort on the part of offi-
cials are taking all of the life
out of some of our favorite
pastimes and if these criminals
who are out to win a game for
the home team aren't removed
from these key slots, the game
of basketball will soon become
something of the past.

If officials are going to keep
their unfair practices all inter-
est will be lost in these games.

Unless some of the people who
are in responsible positions start
doing something to correct these
practices in their areas, the
teams will only be able to win at
home, and if they do play away
from home, all of the life will
be out of the games because the
visitors will be of the opinion
that they are going to lose since
the home team will always have
seven players instead of the five
that are supposed. to play in an
official game of basketball.

Off -Campus Women's
Association

By Emily Singleton

The Off-Campus Women's As-
sociation was formed by Miss
Jordon and is composed of all
all-campus women. These wo-
men plan and take part in ac-
tivities on and off campus.

We are a member of the IWA
I Intercollegiate Women's Asso-
ciationt. We have been invited
to attend the annual convention
this year. It will be held at the
University of Oklahoma. We are
planning to send a delegate to
represent our school.

The purpose of this organiza-
tion is to bring about a closer
relationship with the off-
campus and the dormitory stu-
dents, and also to promote self-
government among women.

There is a special planning
committee of several girls. They
are Connie Lewis, Genoris Mag-
wood. Selma Williams. Emily
Singleton, and Janie Parson.
Miss Jordon is the advisor.

Thun<l'rbolt"s

Ceiiteiiniul

By Gloria Moultrie

Many students traveling to
and from Savannah State Col-
lege by way of Thunderbolt.
have become accustomed to the
familiar Bonnets characteristic
of the middle 1800's, worn by the
ladies of this community, and
the men sporting their beards.
not because they want to; but
it's just a matter of buying a li-
cense, for three dollars, or being
arrested by one of the lost an-
gles (policewoman). No resident
has been excused, the Mayor.
Chief of Police, along with the
clerk and the town aldermen,
are sporting their beards like-
wise.

As the celebration n e a r e d
many of the residents took
their bonnets and beards as a
part of their daily routine.

The Town of Thunderbolt was
established about J856, with the
commissioner type government.

Many residents give the fol-
lowing account of the town re-
ceiving its name: "a bolt of
lightning struck a rock causing
a spring to flow forth, near the
old casino. The Indians then
called it Thunderbolt."

In keeping with the celebra-
tion a number of events were
planned, which will include a
street parade, a carnival, mid-
way, bazzar, speedboat races,
and an address by the Governor
of Georgia.

A beard growing contest was
in progress; prizes were given
for the most unique beards, etc.

To highlight these festivities
a King and Queen were select-
ed from the younger set.

By Isaiah Mclver
Otis Jerome i Batman i Brock
is a senior majoring in Social
Science and minoring in Physi-
cal Education. He is scheduled
to graduate in June of this year.
His home town is Montezuma.
Georgia and he is 6 feet 4 inches
worth of powerful, terrorizing
and explosive humanity on the
basketball court.

His basketball career began at
Macon County Training School
of Montezuma. The superb skill
which he demonstrated in the
tournaments in which he par-
ticipated in high school gained
him a reputation and a schol-

arship to play basketball at Sa-
vannah State.

Brock entered Savannah State
in the fail of 1952 and immed-
iately became one of the Tigers'
mainstays. His excellent offen-
sive and defensive playing was
one of the main reasons why Sa-
vannah State became conference
and tournament cliampions in
1952. In 1953 he reached his
pinacle in basketball- Aside
from being named as a member
of the All-Conference team, he
was also selected as the most
valuable player in the S.E.A.C.
He has been selected to the All-
Conference team for two con-
secutive years and he is a strong
contender for All - Conference
honors again this season.

Even though he has scored
thousands of points as a mem-
ber of the Tigers' basketball
team, has been selected to the
All-Conference team twice and
has been named the most valu-
able player in the conference
once, he considers being presi-
dent of Delta Eta Chapter of
Alpha Phi Alplia as the position
that he will cherisli most.

Thirty-three is the highest
number of points that Brock has
been able to score this season.
He accomplished this feat
against Allen University on Feb-
ruary 11. in Wiley Gymnasium.
Last season he scored 36 points
against Fort Valley State Col-
lege.

Basketball is just one of the
sports in which Brock partici-
pates. In baseball he is Savan-
nah States top pitcher. Football
is another sport that he plays
quite well, but he failed to ven-
ture into this area after he
entered Savannah State.

Upon graduation he plans to
enter Law School or become a
high school basketball coach.
He said that the beautiful
campus, the many exciting bas-
ketball and baseball games in
which he has participated have
helped to make these four years
enjoyable ones,

The Track Team

Savannah State's track team,
which has been conference
champions for the past four
years, has begun practice. This
season promises to be another
championship season for the
Tigers.

Along with such reliable
speedsters as L, J. McDaniels
and Anderson Kelly, the Tigers
have some very impressive high
school stars such as Cleveland
Holmes, the James boys. Sammy
White. James Wallace. Willie
Batchelor and Jewel Mitchell.
Mitchell has just returned from
the army and Fort Beniiing's
championship 440 relay team.
With all of the former high
school stars, army stars and
those champs from last season,
the Tigers are going to be the
team this season.

Zetas Select Freshiuan of Year

The Rho Beta Chapter of the
Zt'ta Phi Beta Sorority observed
it: annual "Finer Womanhood
Week" during February 22-25.
During this week there were ac-
tivities that this group sponsors
80 ch year.

In their chapel program which"
WAS held on February 23. Miss
Riith Anderson of Jacksonville.
Fla. was the guest speaker. Miss
Anderson is the head nurse at
Bi'ewster Hospital and a grad-
uate of Florida A & M University
School of Nursing. She is also
affiliated with the Alpha Beta
Zfta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta
Scirority of Jacksonville, Florida.
Siie spoke on the subject "Learn
to Live and Live to Learn". Ed-
w.Lrd B. Law of Savannah fur-

nished the music for the pro-
gram.

Following the address and the
selections, the "Freshman girl
of the year" was selected. Eu-
dora Moore was the freshman
selected from the group of con-
testants that was composed of
Gladystene Thomas, Lucile Mit-
chell, Eudora Moore and Marie
Roberts. Yvonne Hooks was
cited during the program for be-
ing the freshman girl with the
highest average during the fall
quarter 1955.

Mnth Men^s
Festival Set
For April

Prince Frank Wynn has been
selected as chairman for the
Ninth Annual Men's Day Festi-
val. George B. Williams, Jr., is
the assistant chairman, Isaiah
Aloysius Mclver is the general
secretary and Oliver Vincent
Swaby is the assistant secretary.

The date for the festival has
not been selected, but the event
will take place during the spring
quarter.

Last year. Dr. M. Gordon
Brown, the assistant Chancelor
of the University System of
Georgia, opened the festival
with an address to the entire
student body. The names of the
principal speakers for this year
have not been announced.

A theme hasn't been selected
for the festival, but a great deal
of emphasis will be placed on
promoting good human rela-
tions.

Last year over 100 awards
were made and 75 per cent of
these awards went to Louis
Ford, Richard Washington and
Henry Jackson. Many of the
freshmen say that the story of
last year's Men's Day Festival
will have no bearing on this
year's festival. They say that
they are not going to win all of
the medals, but they are going to
make sure that the Freshman
class wins the majority of the
awards.

During the week there will be
a radio or television program, a
banquet, religious activities, a
social, a talent show, softball,
basketball, volleyball, touch foot-
ball and many other athletic ac-
tivities.

The part of the festival that
keeps everyone on pins and
needles is the vesper program
where the students are an-
nounced who have been selected
as "Men of the Year". Three
students were selected last year.
They were Clarence Lofton, Cur-
tis Cooper and George Johnson.

Emphasis Week Committees

The observance this year be-
gins with a retreat at Montgom-
ery Community Center instead
of ending with it as in previous
years. Mr. Walter Mercer, in-
structor in education , is the
speaker. One of the concluding
highlights of the week is the
sunrise service on Easter Sunday
Morning. An added feature this
year is the college-wide com-
munity sing.

occasions to ask questions and
exchange views, and receive
Spiritual guidance from the two
able consultants in the carefully

planned seminars and classroom
discussions. Such topics as "Re-
ligion As a Practical Philoso-
phy", "What Happens to Re-
ligion in College", "The Neces-
sity of Religion in our Educa-
tion", "Should Religion Be
Taught in State Colleges", and
"How Religion Functions in an
Atomic Age" afford an oppor-
tunity to analyze, if not solve,
some of the problems which face
college students today.

Personal conference periods
have been arranged for students
who wish to discuss individual
problems with the consultants.
A faculty discussion session Is
scheduled for March 29 at 6 p.m.

The Fomth "R"

By Isaiah Mclver

The majority of all college stu-
dents are quite familial' with the
three R's that they have been
facing all through their ele-
mentary studies. One of the pri-
mary reasons that they have
become familiar with these three
R's is because these are the basic
and essential ingredients that all
students must master or become
familiar with before they can at-
tain any degree of success in the
field of education or any other
technical area.

However, the fourth R is just
as important to the student as
the other three. It is true that
students need instructions in
reading so that they could read
the great classics, they need to
know how to write in order to
write a dissertation should they
decide to study for a doctorate
and in order for them to solve
problems in calculus they need
to be familiar with the basic
fundamentals of mathematics.

However, after the student is
taught to read and to under-
stand a Greek classic, write a
research project or solve a math
problem, he thinks that he has
accomplished everything.

A learner may have accomp-
lished a great deal when he has
come to master the three R's,
but when he gets involved in sit-
uations that only a miracle man
can solve, he forgets those three
R's and reaches back for the
fourth. Religion.

In some colleges, religion is
playing a minor role. The reason
why rehgion seems so unattract-
ive to such a considerable num-
ber of college students, is a prob-
lem that college chaplains have
been trying to solve for many
years.

A large number of the colleges
and universities are not permit-
ted to place as much emphasis
on the fourth R as. they are al-
lowed to place on the other three
R's, However, this lone factor is
not the primary reason why stu-
dents fail to support their re-
ligious programs in colleges.

If those who profess Christian-
ity would rededicate themselves
to the faith that they affirm, the
college chapels and churches
would be filled every worship
day with our leaders of tomor-
row.

The role that religion will play
in a student's education will be
determined by the individual
student. The administrators of
the various colleges are spending
the student's activity fees to
bring prominent religious and
educational leaders to the var-
ious campuses for Religious Em-
phasis Week and other occasions,
but until the students rededicate
themselves and pledge to share a
portion of their time for
religious services, religion will
continue to play a subordinate
role to reading, writing and
arithmetic in our colleges and
universities.

A Studeut's Prayer

Author Unknown

Father God , . . May the fluor-
escent lamp be my burning can-
dle, the desk my altar.

May these days as a student
become a stewardship of myself.

May I give myself to the busi-
ness of scholarship, becoming a
careful workman for thee.

May college not become a mere
preparation for life and a voca-
tion, but life and vocation them-
selves, meaningful and whole.

Grant that I may see as sacri-
ficial, my study, not for my own
glory, but to thy greater glory.

I v/ould learn the essential
things well, I would desire to be
of real service to the world, to
see fame with cool eyes, and
failure without fear of reputa-
tion.

Recreate me sensitive to the
great problems of mankind, to
know great minds and invoke
great principles.

Lead me to treat task with the
courage to put away childish
things and be filled with great
thoughts.

May the awareness of debt to
parents, friends and society for
the cost of education, make an
humble man of me.

Encourage and refresh me
when I come to think of my
work as boresome. drawn out
and unproductive.

Strengthen me, father, as a

faithful student of thy word, to

answer thee, for thou hast called

me into thy service as a learner.

Amen

The time is rapidly approach-
ing when the delegates to the
National Republican and Demo-
cratic Conventions will gather
and select their respective party
banner bearer.

Members of the Republican
party have been in somewhat of
a dilemma prior to President
Eisenhower's announcement of
his decision to accept the nomi-
nation it he is renominated, but
since his statement to the na-
tion there is little doubt as to
who will be the Republican nom-
inee There is a question, how-
ever, as to the nominee for the
vice-presidency.

President Eisenhower did not
endorse Mr. Richard Nixon as a
possible running mate. However
he praised Nixon and stated that
it was traditional for the vice
presidential nominee to be de-
cided after the presidential
nomination was made.

A poll of 112 Republican party
leaders by the Associated Press
revealed that 32 per cent were
in favor of Vice President Nixon
as the vice presidential nominee.
Another nine per cent were for
Nixon if Eisenhower wants him.
Less than three per cent were
for someone else.

President Eisenhower is now
entered in primaries in eight
states and Alaska which will
have a total of 340 votes in the
1.323 vote convention. It is ex-
pected that "Ike" will receive an
additional 56 votes from Ohio's
primary where Senator Bricker.
a favorite son", favors Eisen-
hower. Senator Knowland of
California has withdrawn from
those primaries where it i;- not
too late to withdraw. He too
favors Eisenhower.

California's Governor Goodwin
J, Knight suggested to Demo-
cratic leaders that they could
become "giants in American po-
litical history" by supporting
President Eisenhower in the
forthcoming election. He said
that there are many Democratic
leaders who "placed patriotism
above partisan politics" to sup-
port Abe Lincoln in his bid for a
second term during the War
Between the States, He lauded
President Eisenhower as the
"best man qualified to lead our
country and the nations of the
free world."

This statement concerning
President Eisenhower's qualifi-
cations is supported by the eco-
nomic progress of the nation. It
was interesting to note the
changes on the stock market
when the world learned of the
President's heart attack and the
changes when he announced his
capability to accept the Repub-
lican nomination.

It would truly be a memorable
event if leaders of both parties
placed patriotism above partisan
politics- Our political leaders
should begin to think in terms of
the things that will benefit the
nation as a whole rather than
the party's appeal to the voters.

Governor Knight's attitude is
one that should be adopted by
many more of our nation's lead-
ers.

As for the Democratic party,
there are two likely prospects
for the nomination at this time.
Both Senator Estes Kefauver
and Adlai E. Stevenson are en-
tered in six state primaries and
Alaska. However they will clash
in only four states: New Hamp-

shire, first in the nation on
March 13; Minnesota, on March
20; Florida, and California. In
addition. Stevenson is entered
in the primaries of Illinois and
Pennsylvania while Kefauver is
entered in New Jersey and Wis-
consin.

Letter Written
Jesus

By

The following is a copy of a
letter, written by our Saviour.
Jesus Christ, found eighteen
miles from Inconium. forty-five
years after our Blessed Saviour's
Crucifixion; transmitted from
the Holy City by a converted
Jew. faithfully translated from
its original Hebrew copy, now in
possession of the Lady Cuba's
family in Mesopoamia. This let-
ter was written by Jesus Christ,
and found under a great stone,
both round and large, at the foot
of the cross, eighteen miles from
Inconium, near a village called
Mesopotamia. Upon the stone
was written, or engraved,
"Blessed is He That Turneth Me
Over". People who saw it prayed
to God earnestly, and desired He
would make known to them the
meaning of this writing, that
they might not attempt in vain
to turn it over. In the meantime.
a little child turned it over with-
out any help to the shame of all
that stood by.
The Letter:

"Whosoever worketh on the
Sabbath Day shall be cursed. I
command you to go to church,
and keep the Lord's Day holy.
without doing any manner of
work,

"You shall not idly spend your
time in bedecking yourself with
any superfluities of costly ap-
parel and vain dresses, for I
have ordained a day of rest. I
will have that day kept holy,
that your sins may be forgiven
you. You shall not break My
commandments, but observe and
keep them, written with My own
hand, and spoken with My own
mouth. You shall not only go
to church yourself, but also your
men and maid servants, and ob-
serve My words and learn My
commandments. You shall fin-
ish your labor every Saturday in
the afternoon by six o'clock, at
which hour the preparations of
the Sabbath begins. I advise you
to fast five Fridays in every
year, beginning with Good Fri-
day, and to continue the four
Fridays immediately following.
in remembrance of the four
bloody wounds I received for all
mankind. You shall diligently
and peacably labor in your re-
spective callings wherein it hath
pleased God to call you. You
shall love one another and in so
doing, I will give you a long life,
and many blessings; your lands
shall flourish, and your cattle
shall bring forth in great abund-
ance; and I will give you many
blessings and comforts in the
greatest temptations ; and he
that doth the contrary, shall be
unprofitable I will also send a
hardness of heart upon them as
I see them, but especially upon
the impenitent unbelievers. He
that hath given the poor shall
not be unprofitable.

"Remember to keep holy the
Sabbath day for the seventh day
I have taken to rest Myself; and
he that hath a copy of this let-
ter, written with My own hand,
and spoken with My own mouth,
and keepeth it without publish-
ing it to others, shall not pros-
per; but he that publishes it to
others shall be blessed of men;
and though his sins be in num-
ber as the stars in the sky, and
he that believes in this will be
pardoned and if he believes not
this writing and commandments.
I will send many plagues upon
him. and consume him and his
children and his cattle.

"And whosoever shall have a
copy of this letter, written with
My own hand and keep it in
their houses, nothing shall hurt

them, neither pestilence, hght-
ning, nor thunder shall do them
any hurt. And if a woman be
with child and in labor, and a
copy of this letter be about her,
and she firmly puts her trust in
Me, she shall be delivered of
her birth,

"You shall have no news of
Me. but by the Holy Scriptures,
until the day of judgment.

"All goodness and prosperity
shall be on the house where a
copy of this. My letter, shall b>-
found,"

Respectfully submitted.

On Solitude

By J. Campbell, Jr.

Few have ever experienced th-
joys and delights of blissful soli-
tude. To these precious few
moments of solitude are thi
most rewarding moments tha-
life has to offer. For only then
is the manifestation of bein;
clearly and^ distinctly revealed
It is during these solitary mo
ments that one gains fleetin-
and evanescent ghmpses int<
life's ultimate purpose.

At night when the cacophonie,-,
of the day have subsided a soli-
tary walk through the woods, in
the field, or along the water-
front, fills one's soul with an
Infinite degree of worth. Th
omnipresent feeling of one's in-
significance in this vast univers-
is cast aside. A blithe awarenes .
of one's dignity and of one's re-
lationship to the birds, to th:
trees and flowers indeed, to ai;
of nature is revealed. Withou
losing one's identity, one's sel
is amalgamated with natur>
Time ceases. So profound is thi.
fusing of one's self with natur
till a vague and nebulous cons
ciousness of existence since tim.
immemorial is experienced ii.
the inner being.

Solitude brings to one an im
mense feeling of insouciance
There is a dispensation of wear!
ness, anxiety, and worry. PreE
ent doubts and future fear
vanish. The body and the sou;
are free from all concern. Th-:'
splendor and grandeur of th
magnificent universe engulf on
with awe. Only in the midst c
these solitary moments does on.
experience true happiness witl
hfe.

Such are the rewards of soli^
tude. But few precious few-
will ever reap its rewards. Tht
price of solitude is loneliness
Too dear a price for most, be-
cause they have not yet learnec
to live with themselves.

Nine Tigers Sfiy
Goodbye

When the final buzzer sound-
ed in the championship game.-
that were played between Sa-
vannah State and Albany Stat
College's boys and girls it meant
more than a 38-34 victory for
Savannah State's girls and a
74-72 defeat for the Savannah
State boys.

This final signal meant thai
Savannah State was losing 9 of
the best basketball players that
have ever performed on a bas-
ketball court for the Tigers.
Minnie Kornegy, Gwendolyn
Keith, Rosa Lee Moore, Edith
Ray and Gladys Reddicks have
played their final game with the
Tigerettes and Otis Jerome
Brock, Daniel Nicholas, L. J
Daniels, E. Z. McDaniels and
Richard Washington are saying
goodbye to the Tigers squad.

All of these graduating Tiger-
ettes and Tigers were members
of their high school basketball
teams and several of them have
been selected to the all confer-
ence teams at least once during
their college careers.

to promote the belief that they
are means of education and not

and the community, to aid those
who are in need of assistance,
and to serve as a clearing house

Apathy Amoiiji; Our Students

Apatliy is a feeling whlcli
exists among far too many
students on our campus. Their
indifference is manifested in vir-
tually every phase of college life
that is not concerned with the
trifle or satiated with foolish-
ness. Not only are these stu-
dents apathetic towards ac-
tivities pertaining to college, but
they show the profoundest lack
of interest to state, national, and
International affairs.

They flaunt their Indifference
about by not attending Impor-
tant meetings, going to class late
and unprepared, or more con-
spicuouslyby not going at all.
In the same manner to which
absent-mindedness is identified
with genius and professors, so to
these students is indifference
associated with the "sophisticat-
ed" student. Not knowing nor
caring about what is taking
place on the campus, or In the

world is a "mark of distinction"
which too many of us are striv-
ing to achieve.

Apathy can only lead to one
thing Ignorance. Today num-
erous social and economical
changes are constantly taking
place. It is sheer folly for any-
one, especially students, to re-
main unaware of them simply
because they are seemingly, of
no Interest to them. It Is ex-
tremely difficult to contemplate
how a student can regard him-
self as receiving an education
while remaining apathetic to
that which he is being taught
and to those changes that are
occurring daily In the world,

Lets hope that the present
wave of apathy is merely a fad
like "rock and roll" music and
that in time it will pass away
without having harmed us too
much.

Do We Have a Disciplinary Conunittee

Before students were sent
home for certain violations of
the college rules, they once had
to go before the DiscipHnary
Committee. However, several
students have been sent home
this school term for certain vio-
lations without even being given
this opportunity. Ine some of
the cases, the Disciplinary Com-
mittee was not consulted.

It is possible that those stu-
dents in this group, who were
denied the privilege of appear-
ing before the Committee, were
unaware that such a body oper-
ated on the campus.

It is evident that the students
who were sent home are not the
only persons who do not know
that such a committee exists.

If the students stand by and
fail to demand the privileges
that they are supposed to enjoy,
there will always be those who
will play the role of dictators
and demand that the students
do what they consider proper.

America is supposed to be
governed by democratic individ-
uals who abide by the principles
that are characteristic of a
Democracy.

The students know when their
rights have been Infringed upon,
but the Idea of being expelled or
unpopular with the members of
the faculty prevent them from
reminding tho.se in authority
that their thinking may have
aerioufl flaws.

Since the Disciplinary Com-
oUttee Ifi composed of students

and faculty members, it only
stands to reason that judgment
passed by this group is more
sound than the decision handed
down by a single individual or a
small group of individuals

If a group that is organized to
perform a certain function in a
certain manner does not operate
when it is necessary for it to op-
erate, the organization should
be discontinued or reorganized.
Since the committee has been
unaware of the happenings this
term, they should be Informed
and made to perform the duties
for which it was organized,

Each organization has a spe-
cific role to play Certain deci-
sions cannot be made by two or
three individuals. In our society
important decisions are made by
a representative group.

Representation was one of the
factors that aided in the delay
of the adoption of our constitu-
tion. The Disciplinary Commit-
tee is composed of a representa-
tive group. Since this commit-
tee is representative of the col-
lege, the students should prefer
that this body prform the job
for which It was organlzd.

Students are famlUar with the
rules governing certain issues.
They know when they have vio-
lated a law and most of them do
not mind suffering the conse-
quences. However, when they
suffer, they want their penalties
presented from the proper
source.

Greeks and Value
I. Mclver

According to the Student
Handbook, the president of the
College's Young Men's Christian
Association and the President of
any of the sororities or fraterni-
ties receive five points each for
serving in these capacities. All
of these organizations stress
brotherhood and sisterhood
However, many students place
more value or emphasis on their
fraternities or sororities than on
any other organization to which
they belong.

This added amount of value
and emphasis which is placed on
Greek Letter Organizations is
and lias been one of the major
reasons why certain jobs are not
performed eficiently by capable
individuals.

The instant that we are a
member of organization X, we
begin to feel that organization
X Is the only group that has in-
dividuals who are capable of
performing certain important
tasks, even though the weakest
member of organization A may
be superior to the top man in or-
ganization X,

Most fraternity and sorority
members are aware of the fact
that some links of a chain are
weaker than others. Being
aware of this, it is impossible for
them to fail to realize that even
thougli the members of their
particular group are brothers or
sisters, some are not capable of.
performing the duties that are
connected with particular jobs.

They realize that some of the
individuals that they support
are not qualified for certain po-
sitions. However, their pettiness
and affiliation prevent them
from doing what is proper.

Sororities and fraternities are
great organizations. They pro-
vide a home away from home
and give its members a feeling
of belonging. They also snonsor
many social and educational ac-
tivities for their members and
non-members. The members
compete among themselves.

Competition is a great thing
when it is used wisely. However,
on many college campuses, com-
petition among the Greeks tends
to be more detrimental than
beneficial.

It is only natural for a mem-
ber of a particular group to ad-
mire it and strive for Its perfec-
tion. However, our admiration
should not be the only basis upon
which we base our decisions and
choices.

From The Pr4'si<leul

Service to Hiiniaiiitv

By Carter Peek

This motto, selected by the
senior class of 1956. is indeed one
deserving attention and elabora-
tion. Just what does it mean to
serve humanity?

Ever since man first put
forth his hand to partake of the
fruit of the tree called "knowl-
edge of good and evil," it has
been his lot to toil and turn for
subsistance. Yet. an open door
was left for man to decide how
it should be attained. This deed
also caused man to be placed on
a road that has only one end
and that is unforeseeable. As
man walks down the long and
scroggy pathway, who will be
there to give him advice, show
him how to read the road signs,
how to add the mileage, and
take the wisest steps?

Seeing and knowing man's
lasting duty which is unavoid-
able one need not go far or study
wide to appreciate assistance, a
well performed job or good deed,
Man's duty is being constantly
lessened by modern advance-
ments, but without someone's
willingness to serve, much would
be missed.

"Service to Humanity" should
not be taken lightly. This motto
embodies many things, some of
which to state would be but a
trifle, but to go about fulfilling
will present varying problems.
One for example is that of tak-

Dulies aii<l Responsibilities

College students often find it difficult to develop and establisli
comprehensive concepts of their duties and responsibilities as citi-
zens of a college community. In many instances, their sole concern
is centered about earning academic grades, particularly the passing
grade. Beyond that point they feel that they should exercise th(
privilege of irresponsibility.

The tremendous effort which college officials make to keep
buildings and grounds in first-class condition indicates how littli'
assistance is given to these items. This same frame of mind extendi
also to other phases of students' college life. The lackadaisical man-
ner in which they assume responsibility and participate in theii
own organization, provides evidence of this undeveloped area. Th^-
responsibilities of students lie in other areas than attending cla.s.
and paying their bills promptly. The students who consider these a'
their ciiiet duties and responsibilities reduce the value of their co!
lege education to a bare minimum. College activities and student
organizations constitute a large percentage of the available educa
tional opportunities in any institution. In almost every college th'
class organizations, clubs, societies, special interest groups, ani
teams provide unusual opportunities for one to educate himself ii
working and living with others.

The alarming lack of interest noted in the adult population n
community activities is being Increased by students returning fron
college. It is fallacious to think that interest in community life anr
affairs will blossom in them once they have received their degrees
The habits of thinking, working, and participation formed by stu
dents in college will be influential in tlie determination of thei
roles beyond the college walls. The trend to include interest. wishe.~
and participation of youth in all aspects of our society is increasln.
the demand for individuals who are concerned about total com
munity welfare and advancement. Opportunities to learn how t'
participate properly and effectively are numerous in student organ
izations and the more or less formal groups found on a c o 1 1 e g
campus. Such a concept emphasizes the participation of all student
in several activities in addition to those that have been establishei
as traditions,

ing a leadership position and
realizing the harm that can be
done through slight errors. How
about the teacher , . . does he
witli a class of 30 students con-
sider the value of each student,
and his individual weakness-
es? Does he make sure that the
student has been exposed to the
right kind of material, or does
he just "fall in line"? It is quite
easy to follow the crowd, but
with this motto it might be
sometimes necessary to take dif-
ferent courses.

The attempt to serve human-
ity calls for continued prepara-
tion and added skills to face
ever-changing problems.

With these things in mind, let
everyone consider the depth and
width of this weighted arm . .
"Service To Humanity" . . .

To the many persons who are
engaged and to those who have
recently entered into Holy Mat-
rimony, we extend sincere con-
gratulations.

It is evident that the expres-
sion "Books and boys do not
mix" has become obsolete. The
students on this campus have
proved that there can be a mix-
ture without causing too much
trouble.

The young ladies are to be
commended for living up to the
Leap Year tradition

Special mention must be given
to the Tiger's Roar Business
Manager, William Weston, and
to the paper's Circulation Man-
ager, Oscar Mitchell who were
recently wed. We also extend
best wishes for a happy matri-
monial journey to the editor-in-
chief of the Tiger's Roar, who
will be wed to Miss Jacquelyn
Upshaw on June 7 in Atlanta.

All of the newly-weds and
those who are engaged have the
sincere wish of the staff and the
.students that the best of every-
thing will be yours in your new
ventures.

Hifhls histitute

The Department of Business.
in cooperation with the Mid-
Town Life Insurance organiza-
tions of Savannaii, held its an-
nual Business Institute on May
4. in Meldrim Auditorium, using
as its theme, "Career Opportuni-
ties in Life Insurance." For gen-
eral information to all students.
the Institute discussed life in-
surance as a whole, explaining
its beginning, what it is. and
how it serves.

Mr. J. A, Singleton, manager
of the Afro-American Life In-
surance Company, was the prin-
cipal speaker for the opening
session and for the general as-
sembly. At the opening session
he gave a history of the life in-
surance business

The second phase of the
morning session was a panel,
with Mr. C. Bernard Nichols,
Agency Officer. Guaranty Life
Insurance Company, as modera-
tor. Serving on the panel were
W. J, Bush, manager. North Car-
olina Life Insurance Company,
who discussed. "What Is Insur-
ance, and How Is Serves," S. R,
Insurance Company, discussing
"The Insurance Market," and
G. S, May , manager. Pilgrim
Health and Life Insurance Com-
pany, discussing the various job
opportunities in insurance. Mr,
Nichols reviewed the life insur-
ance program and conducted a
question and answer period.

In explaining what insurance
is, it was brought out in the
presentation that, "It might
make a happier world and It
certainly would make a safer
one if we could live our lives
without running any risks what-
ever: if we could live in houses
which can never burn, and own
property which can never be
stolen, and know that nothing

can ever happen to us or our
families. This kind of life is
not possible and because it isn't
possible, we have insurance"
President Payne, in his remarks
to the assembly stated. "There
was a time when people would
take chances. Now they take in-
surance."

In the discussion of career op-
portunities in life insurance, it
was explained that while col-
lege business training is not re-
quired for many of the jobs in
life Insurance, it is highly desir-
able. Insurance companies em-
ploy actuaries, physicians, law-
yers, engineers, and other work-
ers, the largest group are em-
ployed as agents and brokers,
the largest group of all are
agents-

It was brought out that wo-
men too find employment a,s
secretaries, clerks, typists, busi-
ness machine operators, and a.\
agents.

In explaining the importance
of the salesman to a company,
Mr. Nichols stated that, "noth-
ing happens until the salesman
makes it happen."

! lleinentary Workshop
t beared to Students''
I lite rests

The 1956 Elementary Educa-
t on Workshop of Savannah
ftate College operating for the
first session i June 11- July 14 1
culminated a series of enrich-
i-ig experiences whose results
V ni be evaluated best in terms of
riore meaningful curriculum of-
t^tter class room organization.
iiTings, and wiser use of school
tme for the boys and girls of
; hcol age in the counties and
c immunities represented in the
workshop.

"Broadening Our Concepts of
Teaching and Learning Through
Jteaningful Experiences" was
tne general theme. Since the
Georgia State Department of
Education has alerted its teach-
e/s to the health needs of its
People, the Workshoppers pulled
f om this a sub-theme which was
"Enriching and Extending Om-
Environment Through Emphasis
iii Health." All teaching and
planning irrespective of area had
a health emphasis.

The group of 36 in-service
tiachers took a look at education
today in terms of its objectives
and conscientiously sought to
fmd better ways and means of
achieving them. Headed by a
staff of top flight consultants
the teachers worked courageous-
ly and zealously to find methods,
techniques, and a philosophy to
guide them towards their de-
sired goals.

The Workshop staff includefl
Mrs. Thelma M. Harmond, of the
Oapartment of Education, Sa-
vannah State College, Mrs, Dor-
thy C. Hamilton, Principal of
Powell Laboratory School, Sa-
vannah, Georgia, and Mr. R. J.
Martin, Principal of Ballard-
Hudson High School, Macon.
Georgia. Special consultants in
area phases of the workshop
were: Miss Althea Williams, Li-
brarian, Savannah State College;
Dr. W. K. Murray, Reading Spe-
cialist of A & T College, Greens-
boro, North Carolina; Dr. W.
iMetz, Department of Special
Education, Chatham County
Board of Education, Savannah,
Georgia; Mr. Phillip J. Hamp-
ton, Art Instructor; Mrs. G. H.
Abernathy, D e p t, of Physical
Education; Mr, W. H. M, Bowens,
Dept, of Audio-Visual Aids; Mr,
Eugene Isaac and Dr, Rutherford
Lockette of the Division of
Trades and Industries. All of
these except those indicated
were from the Savannah State
College, Savannah, Georgia,

There were 18 counties of
Georgia and two counties of
South Carolina were represented

in the workshop. The 36 in-ser-
vice teachers and the counties
they represent include Mrs,
Mattie P. Mathis Hicks. Liberty

and Mrs. Anne Luten Richard-
son. Chatham County.

The techniques in the work-
shop this year emphasized learn-
ing by doing. The teachers were
asked at the outset to establish
their problems and to indicate
special areas in which they felt
help was needed most. This was
done and the needs classified.
Other features of the work-
shop that contributed greatly to
the broadening experiences to
which the teachers were subject-
ed were the specially planned
weekly assemblies, chapel pro-
grams, lyceum numbers, group
socials, and educational tours.
The tours were carefully planned
and proved to be extremely help-
ful in broadening participants'
professional knowledge of the
state's resources generally, and
sea- faring trade in particular.
The boat ride viewing the Sa-
vannah Harbor Industries and
the trip to Hilton Head, S. C,
were singular experiences that
added much to the learning and
entertaining experiences of the
workshop group.

SSC Presents First
Lyceum Feature

Musical Portraits, a New Eng-
land trio, was presented at Sa-
vannah State College on Thurs-
day, July 5 in Meldrim Auditor-
ium, This program was the first
in the Summer Lyceum series at
the college, Featuring a bari-
tone, soprano and pianist, th?
.Musical Portraits was the brain-
child of pianist-arranger Dana
Lordly, whose aim was to com-
bine opera in English, concert
and musical comedy, and present
them in a new and entertaining
fashion.

The members of the group met
in the somewhat sacred halls of
Boston's famed New England
Conservatory. Discovering the
suppressed boredom that so oft-
en accompanied the formal re-
cital approach, they conceived a
program idea that would incor-
porate their serious musical and
dramatic training into scenes
and skits that featured lavish ar-
rangements of music the whole
world knew and loved. In an
original student production at
this same school, Mr. Lordly's
music and dialogue poked gentle
tun at the over-scholarly ap-
proach to serious music, and the
resounding success of the pre-
sentation launched the Musical
Portraits on frolicksome tours
from Maine to Florida.

Breaking from the tradition of
using the established dialogue of
musical comedy scenes, the trio
preferred to set their arrange-
ments into situations that every-
one would recognize: a scene in
a living room of a museum, or a
husband and wife dispute over
a television set. Amusing dia-
logue gave audiences the oppor-
tunity of viewing and laughing
at themselves on stage, while
more serious music lovers found
satisfaction in the simplicity of
solo selections and deft staging
of opera scenes m English. And
above all, it became evident that,
to the Musical Portraits, music
was fun, and here was the oppor-
tunity for their listeners to
share the enthusiasm of three
young people with a new and
novel approach to the music
they love.

SSC Players

Adopting A Positive Atiitiide Towards Life

Johnny Campbell II

THE TIGER'S ROAK

August. 19.5 6

The most elusive of all man's
quests is his eternal quest for
life's ultimate purpose and
meaning- Although unable to
find any suitable answer to this
perplexing problem, man with
his finite mind, continues to
struggle trying desperately to
relate his existence on earth to
some higher purpose tlian mere
life itself.

In the face of such a dilemma,
many have taken the positive
approach to life. They earnest-
ly believe that life has a higher,
more noble purpose that is evi-
dent, and their lives are predi-
cated on that assumption. They
live in accordance with the mor-
al principles that liave proven
their worth through the ages;
their lives are useful and bene-
ficial to themselves and to so-
ciety.

On the other hand, there are
those who consciously or uncon-
sciously negate life. In their de-
spair they have decided that life
has no ultimate maening that
existence is a very fleeting phen-
omenon and that one had better
"live" while one is alive. Re-
jecting all moral principles, their
thinking become nihilistic, and
their Uves an endless series of

intrigues in which they attempt
to satisfy their ego at any cost,
frequently justifying the means
by the end,

Much of the cheerfulness asso-
ciated with youth transforms in-
to the gloom and despair of old
age because of the individual's
failure to adopt a positive atti-
tude towards life while young.
Bent with the years, too old to
partake of life's pleasures, and
disbelieving in life's ultimate
purpose, these people liave noth-
ing to look forward to but in-
evitable death.

It is while one is in college,
when one's philosophy of life is
slowly culminating, that one
ouglit to adopt and put into
practice, a positive attitude to-
wards life. An attitude founded
on firm moral principles and
based on the belief that life is
not just an endless series of fun
and follies but rather, that life
was created with a purpose
which embraces all form of Ufe
from the lowest creature of the
sea, to the highest of man. If
such an attitude were adopted
and cultivated, all mankind
would greatly benefit and the
gloomy, pessimistic, thoughts of
old age would never prevail.

// / IVere a Freshmuu Again
By Reuben Cooper

You are anxiously looking for
the words so often spoken by
college students up on gradua-
tion. But you are now in for a
big surprise. For if I were a
freshman again, my approach
and attitude would not differ
greatly from what they have
been.

Let me take you back to the
morning of January 4, 1954. I
got up. ate breakfast, and wan-
dered around all day from hall
to hall like a sailboat at sea
without sails. By January of
1956, 1 would still have to wander
from hall to hall in order to be
officially enrolled Jn college.

I think it is indeed part of the
college life for Mr. Ingersoll to
send an entering freshman back
for some advisor to check his
registration card to make sure
that he has a course in western
civilization under Dr. Dean in his
freshman year. Or when one
gets to the cashier, to be sent
back to Mr. Miller to have an-
other 10 dollars added to his bill.

If I were a freshman again, I
would not spend any more time
in the library than I have done.
The library is not the only source
of information and knowledge
awaiting anyone who goes there-
in. In the student body i.s also
a rich course of knov/ledge, wis-

implying that college students
should not spend a great deal of
their time in library, your con-
clusion is wrong, I am em-
phaticallystating that if half
of the time students spent in
the library was used wisely, and
for the purpose it should be,
there would need be no great
concern about the students'
reading habits.

If I were a freshman again, I
would quietly go about the cam-
pus with a goal and determina-
tion, being mindful to keep the
purpose of my coming here fore-
most in mind.

Many students. I observed,
somehow get confused in their
values and they try to make the
college conform to their individ-
ual purposes and desires. This is
impossible to do and college be-
comes to them all but what they
would have it be.

If I were a freshman again I
would join any organization on
I he campus that has as a goal.
'.0 perpetuate brotherhood,
o;-holarship, mutual understand-
ing, and the fellowship of men.
On the contrary. I would not
join any organization that had
publicity only as its purpose.
Organizations are supposed to

dom and information awaiting pects of growth. When an organ

Periscope

By Clevon Johnson

The entrance of John Ther-
man Cooper to the senate race.

Democratic activities, the airline
investigation, the Kremlin's re-
lease of their economic activity,
satellite unrest and President
Eisenhower's letter to Chiang
Kai-shek, are the focus spots of
America's attention.

Ambassador to India. John
Therman Cooper has entered the
senate race from Kentucky at
the request of President Eisen-
hower. This move was taken as
part of Republican eforts to re-
gain control of Congress in No-
vember.

Connecticut Democrats added
an unexpected 20 votes to the
first ballot strength of Adlai
Stevenson at next month's Dem-
ocratic national convention.
Stevenson, winding up a "listen-
ing tour" among farmers in Mid-
western states, said he found
that "many farmers are going
broke." and called Republican
claims of prosperity "a mockery"
under such conditions.

Stevenson suffered one setbacK
during the week as Gov. H, B.
I Happy) Chandler won control
of the Kentucky state Democrat-
ic organization and 930-vote na-
tional convention delegation
over the forces of Senator Cle-
ments.

Former President Harry Tru-
man, returning from a European
tour, lunched with Harriman
and Stevenson. He told news-
men however, that he hopes
someone other than Sen, Estes
Kefauver of Tennessee will be
(he Democratic standard bearer.

The Civil Aeronautics Board
chief investigator said today
Ihat the two plane Grand Can-
yon air catastrophe was "definite
collision" and added that pri-
mary flight responsibility before
ihe crash rested with the Trans-
World pilot.

William K. Andrews, C. A. B.
director of safety investigation.
Washington, told a House Com-
merce Subcommittee hearing:

"I would not hesitate to say-
that it was a definite collision."

Earher, he testified that "TWA
had full responsibility for main-
taining separation 'of the two
airliners after it had changed
flight plans.

The TWA Superconstellation
and United DC 7 collided over
Grand Canyon on June 30 with a
loss of 128 lives. It was history's
worst commercial aviation disas-
ter. Both planes were east-
bound from Los Angeles and
took off only three minutes
apart.

Across the ocean, the Kremlin
has released statistics regarding
their economic activity.

Early this month in Moscow,
the central statistical adminis-
tration of the Soviet government
issued a 260 page compilation of
basic figures on Soviet economic
activity. It was the first such
collection of data to be issued
since before World War II and it
is more complete than anything
published in the U.S.S.R. since
the mid-30's before Stalin's great
purge.

Elsewhere in the world, satel-
lite unrest is likely to force a re-
turn to terror.

The present Soviet leadership
has got itself into a mess of
trouble by its relaxation of the
iron discipline of the Stalin era,
and it is difficult to see how the
Kruscher-Bulganin regime is go-
ing to stay in the Kremlin un-
less it impasses once more the
restrictions it has been denounc-
ing so vigorously.

The entire communist world
appears to be in ferment. Re-
ports from behind the Iron Cur-
tain indicate unrest which could
lead to move uprisings such as
the bloody revolt in Porzan,
Poland last week.

Message From The President

Appetites and tastes play an important part in living. Thes&
terms when first mentioned often suggest things to eat. An exten-
sion of the concepts would lead one into various aspects of living.
Just as the variety of things to eat has increased rapidly, so have
appetites and tastes increased in other areas of living. One often
wonders what people mean when they use the expression "This is the
life". To some it means a special type of enjoyment of living; to
others it is a momentary special bit of enjoyment.

The things which people like and enjoy are determined by oppor-
tunities and cultivation. If one observes infants and watches the
way in which their tastes and likes grow and increase, it is pos-
sible to draw a similar parallel in other areas. Many college stu-
dents wonder why they become bored with certain types of music,
recreation, art, philosophy, and religion. In the majority of these
cases, the lack of interest, appreciation and understandings may
be attributed to the absence of previous experiences and opportuni-
tis to learn.

The concepts of life which college students wish to set up a.s
goals or ideals might be developed. The extension of the idea and
breadth of the concepts of life can be developed just as any othei-
aspect of life. Those who wish to enjoy the best in literature, art.
science, music, entertainment, fellowship, neighborliness, and rt^-
ligion can reach their objectives by planning experiences in th<.'
respective areas. The life or enjoyment which one considers impoi -
tant for himself can be planned. College students will find that th^-
tastes and the appetites they possess need not be so limited. Who-
ever there is a desire to extend and increase one's concepts of good
living there are definite possibilities.

The Right To Vote

In the United States of America we as citizens of a free anu
independent country enjoy many freedoms: freedoms of speec'.,
freedom of religion and freedom of the press. These freedon ^
which we now enjoy have been fought for in blood and sorrow, ar i
in winning the battle the people in the early history of this countj v
took steps in preserving this country as a free nation. In takir^ ;
these steps the Constitution of the United States came into exis-
ence. In this Constitution, along with the freedoms I have previous.-;
mentioned, the right to vote was established. To me this is one i f
the most important freedoms a free nation could have. Unlike mo t
Iron Curtain countries of the world, the American people have tl .^
riglit to select the persons whom they wish to represent them i
local, state, and national government. But even having this fre^ -
dom of choice in a democratic country, some of the citizens fail j
realize the importance of their vote and hesitate to use it. Your vo ?
is your voice in the government and in selecting someone to repr^-
sent you, you must choose your candidate wisely.

During the past four years, the American people have been cor -
fronted with many problems in local, state, and national affairs. Tl <^
vote of a person or group of persons can vote a candidate ini ?
office or vote him out. In the 1952 presidential election, with Eisei -
hower running at the head of the ticket, the Republican Party wc i
a major victory, one that had not been won since Herbert Hoovers
time. The people of the United States votd this administration inij
office and the Republicans controlled Congress for two years, but in
1954 these same people who voted them into office, voted them o! t
and th Democratics were out front again.

The reasons for the Republicans' downfall in 1954 may be d^ -
bated in many ways, but it is not my wish to discuss these reason
but only to point out the fact that your vote can determine the f i -
ure state of your country's welfare.

The year 1956 is elecion year again for the selection of a capab e
person to represent the United States Government. The America l1
people are more concerned with the presidential lection this ye; i-
than they were four years ago, because since then many issu* ^
concerning the president's administration have been in th spotligi.t
and they will have great significance in the electing of president
Before using your vote, there must be a careful examination of ai'i
events concerning your country. First of all study the achievements
and mistakes of the present administration, make an evaluation of
the foreign aid and farm program; study the progress of integration
in the United States. Secondly after fusing these facts together
make sure the person you choose has the qualifications in handling
the job.

Vote in the 1956 election. Vote for the Republicans if they be
your choice. Vote for the Democratic Party if you prefer them. Vote
for a candidate on an independent ticket. But vote. And use your
vote wisely.

ISescience and Indolence

By I. Mclver

Many writers agree that nescience and indolence are two of the
greatest obstacles that person has to overcome. It has been proved
that these two maladies which are present among every group are
as prevalent among the students of our colleges and universities as
they are among those who do not attend institutions of higher
learning.

These sicknesses are not permitted to spread as rapidly in educa-
tional institutions as they do in the outside world, but all of us must
agree that without the injection of the proper counteraction, these
infirmities would be as communicable on our campuses as they are in
most undesirable communities.

Both of these maladies tend to retard our progress. However,
indolence has been proved to be the more destructible of these con-
tagious disorders.

In a surrounding where people are industrious and mentally
alert, there are happiness and security. However, in an environment
where indolence and nescience prevail, indigence, infirmities, pov-
erty, and contamination are the dominating peculiarities.

The impediments that these maladies cause can be overcome
if we attempt to grasp a yearning to become informed on all preva-
lent issues, strive to spend every minute and second in attaining
worthy goals, and abstain from groups of environments where as-
siduous individuals are not in preponderance.

its desired purpose and becomes
detrimental to its members.

As I look back over my college
career I have no regrets. There-
fore, I have no reason to con-
clude that if I were a freshman
again I would do differently. 1
admit that I have made many
mistakes and have had prob-
lems. But if I could, by some
means, go back to my freshman
year, I undoubtedly would make
many mistakes and have numer-
ous problems.

One, as a freshman, doesn't
normally behave as a senior.
Then why does it not seem reas-
onable for a freshman to act in
the light of his experiences and
time? Being exposed to knowl-
-dge, interacting with others in
a different environment over a
period of time, and the contin-
ued growth toward maturity,
would obviously cause anyone to
think differently and approach
))roblems in a differently man-
ner. This does not mean that he
should be criticized for past ac-
tion and conduct.

If I were a freshman again, I
vould approach problems from
'he point of my past experiences
:nd knowledge of that day. I
hould receive the same honor
; nd satisfaction from doing so.

I realize that some things I

I oald have done I did not do.

''hat shall be true as long as the

1 arth remains. When I have sin-

I erely acted according to my

I onscience and the power within

le, it is hard for me to look back

nd conceive of myself doing

:"iings in my freshman year that

have not done.

Conferences Are For Fnn, Too

By Miss Luella Hawkins. Librarian

Miami Beach. Florida, the land of sunshine and hotels whose
business is entertainment, beckoned more than 3500 librarians, trus-
tees, teachers, and friends of the library to the 75th Annual Ameri-
can Library Association Conference. June 17-23, 1956,

This was one of the largest attended Conferences of the Associa-
tionso much was offered for the delegate who likes to mix fun
with business. The kind officials streamhned the Conference so
that most of the afternoons were free for the enjoyment of this re-
sort setting of the 1956 meeting. Not until our speeding train was
passing miles upon miles of orange groves did we begin to catch the
enchantment of this land of wonder, il was fortunate enough to
have Mrs. Howard Jackson, formerly a teacher at Powell Laboratory
and now at Spencer School, join me for the trip).

Our introduction to the Beach was by way of Collins Avenue, the
street of fabulous hotels. Made us think of -'Alice in Wonderland".
The Fontainbleau and The Eden Roc, the newest additions to "The
Avenue", were the official headquarters for the Conference. The
morning of the first day was given to registration and getting
acquainted not so much with other librarians, but with our setting.
Our first business, and charming it was, was to attend a tea at the
Miami Public Library given in honor of the John Cotton Dana
Award Winners, (The awards were given for outstanding publicity
in public libraries.)

The official opening session on Monday night featured a preview
private showing of the Columbia film. "Storm Center," starring
Bette Davis. The story dealt with the self-appointed book-banners
and book-burners, committees and organizations that use the slo-
gans of democracy to suppress that necessary prelude to freedom of
thought, the freedom to read on all sides of a question. While the
problem is not so acute as it once was, librarians agree that it is still
very real.

"A case for Notable Books", from the viewpoint of author, pub-
lisher, critic, and librarian a panel discussion, was the highlight of
the Second General Session. Joseph Barnes, editor, Simon and
Schuster, almost built "A Case Against Notable Books", He asked,
"For What? and For Whom? are the Notable Books Chosen." He felt
that the librarians were not as objective as they might be in their
selection. He noted the dearth of fiction on the list and inquired
about the omission of the best selling novel, Kantor's "Anderson-
viUe". He also said that by the same token the 1956 publication and
best seller O'Connor's "Last Hurrah" might be omitted from the
next list. The latter title he considered one of the clearest cut pic-
tures of our political system that has been written in a long time.
I Why don't you check on some of th? forty-six titles included in
the 1955 list and set up your Case For or Against Notable Books?)
gram that had just been received. The President had signed into

At the conclusion of the panel. President Richards read a tele-
law the Library Services Bill. This bill has been in the making since
October 1. 1945, when the American Library Association opened its
Washington Office. It will help the states provide free local public
library service for the many millions of people who do not now enjoy
this privilege.

The Children's Library Association honored the winners of the
Newberry and Caldecott Awards. I did not attend, but I was interest-
ed as I do know their books. Rojankovsky received the Caldecott
Medal for the best illustrations for a children's book with his "Frog
Went A-Courtlng", and Jean Lee Latham, the John Newberry Medal
for The Most Distinguished Contribution to American Literature for
Children with her "Carry on, Mr. Bowditch". (Find time soon to
read these Medal winners,)

The Storytelling: Festival, ,also sponsored by The Children's Li-
brary Association, was an innovation this year and the tickets for
every session were at a premium. We attended the Thursday session
where Mrs. Frances Clarke Sauers, storyteller, author, and lecturer
on children's literature, from Los Angeles, California, brought to us
the wonderful land of storybooks with her telling of parts of "The
Wonder Smith and His Son," "Old Dire Dragaman," and "The Hare
and the Hedgehog."

Mrs, Jackson attended the Workshop on Introducing Books to
Young People, and I devoted all my unscheduled time to Circle Oi
Information sessions on Library Buildings. Tours of the libraries
in the vicinity and general sightseeing tours were enjoyed.

Fun we did have, but I cannot say that we were unhappy Friday
afternoon when we went aboard the SS Florida that was to take us
on an overnight cruise to Havannah, Cuba. More than 200 of the
Miami delegates joined the Association sponsored tour to visit Cuban
libraries and to talk to Cuban librarians. Most were airminded and
took the slow, but enjoyable boat trip. From the time our ship
could leave Saturday morning for the one-hour fhght; some few
cruised past Morro Castle and docked until we again boarded for our
trip home, there was a round of activities that was tailored to suit all.

Saturday afternoon a luncheon was held in the Hotel Nacional
our headquarters honoring our hosts and hostesses, the Cuban
librarians. A tour of the libraries of the city followed. The Biblioteca
Nacional (National Library of Cuba) was preparing to occupy their
magnificent new structure now almost completed. The Biblioteca
General de 1 aUniversidad de la Habana (University of Havanna)
was opened for our visit although the summer session had not yet
begun. The Biblioteca de la Sociedad Economica del Pais is a beauti-
ful library whose reading room and small auditorium face an open
court. All the libraries were using the same schemes for organization
that are followed in this country,

Saturday evening we were on the town. The famed Club Tropi-
cana was our headquarters for the night. Dancing and music might
be internationally understood, but I missed so much of the show be-
cause all the comedy acts were in Spanish. Made me wish I had
taken advantage of our classes at the College.

Sunday morning was given to general sightseeing. One of the
most beautiful buildings I have ever seen is the Capitolio Nacional.
It covers two city blocks and cost approximately seventeen million
dollars when it was erected ( 1925-1929 ) , The ceiling of the Reception
Hall is decorated in delicate hand painting and finished in 22 carat
gold leaf. On the floor at the center of this Hall, directly under the
great dome, is set a 24 carat, blue-white diamond. This precious
stone serves as the "mileage stone of Cuba" and sets the starting
point of the Central Highway marking the "zero kilometer". Our
guide said the stone had been stolen once, but that it had been re-
lumed by parcel post. Since then, improved safety measures guard
this Jewel.

The President's Palace, Lady of Mercy Cathedral, rum distillery
(drinks on the house), Columbus Cathedral, and The Market Place
were part of our itinerary.

A word on the Market Place. As soon as you land, do get ac-
quainted with the twenty-cent piece. It is the size of our quarter
and I believe the street sellers make a game of seeing how many
people believe that since it is as large as a quarter, it is one. Luckily
for us. our English-speaking guide had informed us when change
had been made the first time; so when a vendor started counting
my change from a dollar as "twenty-five," I could say with au-
thority, "No. twenty". You don't save much that way, but those
two magic words will make you feel like a world traveler who Is
"In the know",

'Twas a fun-packed weekend, and we were hardly ready to leave
Sunday when our cars came to whisk us down the lovely ocean drive,
Malecon Avenue, to the SS Florida now surrounded with the native
penny-divers. We had enoyed foreign travel on a Congerence Budget
and are ready to add to our slogan "Reading is our business", the
phrase "And Travel, too".

BOXING

The young and promising
heavyweight contender "Floyd
Patterson" from Brooklyn,
scored a 12 round split decision
over the no. 2 contender, Tommy
"Hurricane" Jackson, of Far
Rockaway. N. Y. It was Patter-
son's fight all the way until he
suffered a fractured hand which
accounted for his slowing up at
the end of the fight, Patterson is
young, willing, and able to gain
the "Heavyweight Title", and it
is said that he is best fitted for
the position. Patterson has the
punch of Joe Louis and the foot-
work of Sugar Ray Robinson.

Miss Cifors Given
Farewell Party at Dorm

By Odell Weaver
and Thomas Johnson

Miss Roberta Cifors, the Direc-
tor of Wright Hall since its com-
pletion in September 1954. was
given a farewell party by mem-
bers of the Dormitory Council on
Friday evening June 29 before
she departed June 30,

Odell Weaver, the president of
the council for 1956-57, presented
Miss Cifors with a silver tray,
Mr, Weaver told Miss Cifors that
the tray was being presented by
the men of the dormitory as a
token for the outstanding service
that she had rendered during
her tenure in this capacity. The
tray had the following inscrip-
tion: "Character is like a dia-
mond. It is a stone which
scratches every other stone."
Weaver said that this inscription
was engraved because Miss Ci-
fors always stressed the impor-
tance of good character and a
pleasing personality

Wright Hall, which is one of
the newest and most spacious
structures on the campus, is
without a director until another
is appointed by the president.

Mrs. Cifors said that she felt
as though she was a mother to
the men in the dormitory. She
stated that since Wright Hall
was the newest structure situ-
ated at the center of the campus,
most of the visitors stayed there
during the many meetings and
conventions. According to the
director, 3 a.m. wasn't an unus-
ual hour to be awakened to place
a visitor in a room in Wright
Hall. She said that she was go-
ing to take a deserved vacation.

(bourse In H<"alth
Offered For
Siiiunier

By Richard A. Brown, Jr.

In an interview here today,
Walter Leftwich, director of the
long-awaited course in Total
School Health Planning, it was
revealed that the course meets
an urgent need in the school
program.

With 28 students representing
19 counties in the state, the
course fulfills a primary need of
the elementary teacher, giving
her help in developing a system-
ized method of approach, the di-
rector stated.

Since it has met with such
popular approval, the course will
be offered as a part of the regu-
lar term beginning in 1957. The
course features trips to local
health institutions, demonstra-
tions, and actual experience in
participating in health programs
in schools.

'For example, the potential or
in-service teacher will receive
instruction in giving vision tests
so that the technique wil be fa-
miliar in the classroom." Mr.
Leftwich stated.

He further stated. "More em-
phasis is needed on health in our
public schools. Pains have been
taken to cover as thoroughly as

Discourse on English Grammar

By Louis Hill Pratt. '58

The Periscope

It is alarming when one stops
to realize that there are few
persons with a thorough know-
ledge of what Is generally known
as American English, We stum-
ble over it, abuse It and often
say things we don't mean at all.
We simply employ our words in
such a fashion that they fail
to represent our true thoughts.
I say this is alarming because
man is severely handicapped un-
less he can accurately communi-
cate with his neighbors.

Assuming that there is a cause
upon which every effect is predi-
cated, the situation needs ana
lyzing. Just what has caused
erudite men to consider Ameri-
can English the most difficult
of languages? Variation in the
definition of words can definite-
ly be cited as a determining fac-
tor. If I "fix55 my car, I repair
It. but if the chefs "fix" dinner,
they prepart it. On the other
hand, if I "fix" someone. I take
revenge, and if my tailor will
"fix" my trousers, he will mend
them. It's just as simple at that!

Frequently Americans have
difficulty determining the cor-
rect implication of terms them-

selves. Is it any wonder that
foreigners find our language dif-
ficult and confusing? How can
we teach more than we know
about our Mother Tongue? To
a foreigner, HOUSE would sug-
gest a structure. Yet, the same
HOUSE can be used as a verb
implying the provision of shelter.
Finally, one begins to wonder if
anything is yet immobile. After
a disgusting experience with
such homonyms as rain, reign,
meet, meat and the like, we dis-
cover the word READ. Is it
"reed" or "red?" It could be
either, depending on its use,
since READ is both present and
past tense of the infinitive "to
read."

Seemingly, there is no limit to
the difficulties and controversies
of our language. To the Euro-
pean. Asian. African. South
American and Australian. I of-
fer this challenge: Develop an
interest in our tongue, study it,
practice it, master it and you
will have accomplished a feat
as great as American:; them-
selves and you too will have won
a place in the hearts of the
American people for all times.

are being re-plastered and painted-
Adams Hall, which serves as the main dining room, is being
redecorated and painted. The floors in the food preparation kitchen,
dishwashing and rest room area will be covered with qulrrie tile,
and the side walls with ceramic tile.

The month of October finds
the 1956 election year drawing
near an end with tension and
bitterness between Democratic
and Republican candidates on
the increase. Both parties are
lashing from all angles at each
other.

Democratic presidential nomi-
nee Adlai Stevenson has chosen
President Eisenhower's H-Bomb
policy as cne of the major issues
on which he plans to fight. Stev-
enson intends to carry his fight
to the nation by means of radio
and television in an attempt to
continue his discussion on Eisen-
hower's policies.

Republican presidential nomi-
nee Eisenhower, on the other
hand, said that Stevenson and
his democratic running mate Es-
tes Kefauver are making a "rec-
ord of clattering campaign ora-
tory" and cited as examples, the
issues of "big business" versus
"small business", the draft, the
H-bomb tests, national defense,
and peace. Mr. Eisenhower also
accuses Mr. Stevenson of politi-
cal irresponsibility in implying
that the republican administra-
tion cares little or nothing for
the "Little Man"

Progress on the Suez crises has
been slow in developing. Accord-
ing to United States Secretary of
State John F. Dullis, Soviet For-
eign Minister Dmitri Shepilov
wants to keep the Suez dispute
sizzling. However there's a
chance for a Suez settlement be-
fore the November election. If
I his happens it will be hailed as
a personal triumph for Mr. Dul-
les. Even though the Egyptians
have been trying to soft pedal
the Suez question they are be-
ginning to feel the economic ef-
fects of the Western boycott.

Complaints have been made
that Negroes in the South are be-
ing deprived of their voting
rights. 'Ihe United States Depart-
ment of Justice ask;d Congress

are being deprived of voting

winners. New York Yankees won
a seven game world series. In
this series the Yanks had the
aid of two young pitchers who
c n t r i b uted magnificently in
contributed magnificently in
helping the Yanks to win. In the
fifth game of the series Yankee
pitcher Don Larson pitched the
first perfect game ever to be
pitched in the history of a world
series game. In the seventh game
young Johnny Kucks pitched
the Yankees to baseball's World
Championship when he pitched
a three hitter, defeating the
Dodgers 9-0.

With the ending of the 1956
world series, the Brooklyn Dod-
gers are off on their tour of the
Pacific and Japan. Casey Sten-
gel has been named manager of
the Yanks for two more years.

How to Win Friends
And Influence
Professors

Oklahoma Daily writer Ed
Turner has come up with a new
way of college living which, in
keeping with the times, he calls
"classmanship-" Briefly, he says,
it means the knack of frustra-
ting a well-meaning professor to
such an extent that he will want
to quit his chosen profession as
an educator and go to work for
a munitions factory. Here are
some of his rules ,

"First of alt: always be late to
class. Upon entering NEVER look
meek or apologetic for disturb-
ing the class. Appear surprised
as if this section was scheduled
to meet at this time or even look
hurt that they could go on with-
out you. Many an accomplished
classman has caused the pro-
fessor to thumb quickly through
his class bulletin to see if per-
haps they should have met at
3:35 instead of 8:10.

Disagree openly with the pro-
fessor. An economics instructor
says in liis most profound and
sonorous tones: "The theories of
Adam Smith are the foundations
of our modern system of eco-
nomics." You say in an audible
whisper: "But that's So passe"
. . , making him look as if he had
an old pair of plus-fours and
was shouting 23 skidoo instead
of delivering a lecture.

Leavemanship is another ef-
fective gambit that will add
sparkle to every class room.
About 10 minutes before the
class is over slam your book
shut, zip up your notebook, tuck
your pencil neatly in your pock-
et and begin tapping your foot
spasmodically, whistling to your-
self, if you are a poor whistler.
At five minutes before the hour,
scoot up en the edge of your
^eat. alternating your gaze be-
tween the wall clock and your
watch, shouung "X minus 5,
X minus four, X minus three"
. . . right up until the end of
the hour."

YOU HAVE TO COME TO CLASS

lACP) Freshmen and sopho-
mores at the University of Con-
necticut are faced with compul-
sory class attendance this year,
Under a new ruling, they're ex-
pected to attend all registered
classes and if, for any reason.
a Freshman's number of absen-
ces equals the number of credits
for the course, his case will be
called and reviewed. Penalties
will range from restriction and
probation to suspension from the
University. University officials
think the new ruling will raise
the standards of academic
achievement among the fresh-
men and sophomores.

President Addresses
First Assembly

On Thursday October 4, during,
the regular all-college assembly.
Dr. W. K. Payne, President ot
Savannah State College, deliv-
ered his Annual Message to th.
members of the college family
The President extended greet-
ings to those present.

He stated "I beheve that w.'
have all assembled here at Sa-
vannah State College because
we believe in education." If we
go forth with this concept in
mind, all of our experiences will
coincide with this belief. Thi.
premise will influence our ef-
forts and activities."

President Payne further stat-
ed that "Our assemblies are j
part of our educational progran,
For this reason they are compul-
sory . . . Assemblies are not call-
ed unless it is believed that tht --
will contribute to the education-
al program. Education covei ^
more than the courses or
lakes."

The approximately one thoi -
sand persons assembled in Me -
drim auditorium heard the Pret^ -
dent state that "Many of yi :
are already facing problems th
you had not anticipated, Yi ;
win face many more." Oi
should long for the ability
face problems Instead of the ai
sence of them. Tiiere are mai
things to be done other than a
tending college but attendii
college is the main job at S;
vannah State College now.

Students were reminded th
"You are living in an age filK i
with the wonders of civilizatio
The opportunities that are pr- -
sented to college men and wi -
men today are greater than ; t
any other time. No matter wh i
your state may be today as f; r
as your clothes, friends, and tl ;
like are concerned, you are t) :
possessor of a great opportuni \'
if it is your privilege to attei i
college today. We believe th. t
Savannah State College has i
reservoir of advantageous ed' -
cational experiences for tl..'
thirsting student. If you lot k
hard enough and seek earnest y
enough, you will find them, f
you will, you can make this ac -
demic year 1956-57 the most i -
luminating in your experience '

Egbert: "No ma'am. I'm soak-

D uke E llington

By I. A. Mclver

Even though Wednesday, Oc-
tober 3, 1956. was the day on
which the initial game of the
1956 World Series between the
New York Yankees and the
Brooklyn Dogers was being play-
ed, and in spite of the fact that
Mickey Mantle had just clouted
a two-run home run to give the
Yankees the advantage just as
the "Duke" was arriving on the
campus, the students of Savan-
nah State relinquished their box
seats beside the television sets
to hear the inimitable Duke El-
lington play some of his com-
positions on the Steinway in
Meldrim auditorium.

After the "Duke" played such
numbers as "Don't Get Around
Much Anymore." "I'm Beginning
to See the Light." and many of
his other compositions, the mem-
bers of Delta Eta Chapter of Al-
pha Phi Alpha Fraternity pre-
sented him with a monogram
bearing the Alpha Phi Alpha in-
signia.

Before departing. Ellington
made his final and famous
statement. "I Love You Madly."
Throngs of autograph hunters
and amateur photographers pre-
vented him from leaving before

The Creative Corner SSC Presents

J, Campbell, Jr.

"A thing of beauty is a joy for-
ever," says the poet John Keats.
But precisely what is this thing
which brings to the individual
such eternal joy? Is it a face
wliich with the years withers
away like the green leaves of
Spring with the coming of Win-
ter? A building that crumbles
before the onslaught of a gigan-
tic tidal wave or an eartliquake?
Is beauty a lasting work of art
reaching its culmination in the
enigmatic smile of Da Vinci's
Mona Lisa and the delicate
symmetric balance of the Gre-
cian statue. Venus de Milo?

Is beauty a relative concept
arising out of the personal sub-
jective feeling of an individual,
when confronted with a pleasing
external object? or is it an ab-
solute, invariable, universal
concept which brings a feeling
of joy. as expressed by Keats,
forever to him who perceives it?
Is beauty eternal or simply a
fleeting phenomenon, which
once awakening the senses to a
supreme state of felicity, fades
softly away, leaving one with but
a dim, image that is never fully
recaptured again?

What is beauty? the schools
of thought are many and there
are numerous theories but I
will tell you what beauty is.
Beauty is the rising and setting
of the eternal sun; an ephemeral
glimpse of a rainbow which gent-
ly fades away at the end of a
shower on a cool summer's day.
Beauty is the jungle beauty is
the quiet, peaceful, flow of the
tiny brook in the Dakota Hills.
Beauty is the wild, savage, un-
tamed , beat of the tom-toms,
echoing across the dark, un-
lighted, African continent the
restrained, melodious, and har-
monious blending of a Classical
symphony, floating gayly. bliss-
fully, through the walls of a
great concert hail. Beauty is the
coming of Winter the sad pass-
ing of Spring. Beauty is the un-
seen wind, rushing across plains
and prairies, singing its joyful
song to all.

Beauty then, transcends na-
tional boundries favors no one.
but manifests itself to all who
can recognize and appreciate its
qualities. Beauty abounds in na-
ture, and in the art which man
has created. Objects of inesti-
mable beauty surround us every-
day. It is up to us to learn to
appreciate the beauty with which
nature and man have so richly
endowed us.

Rtmdotn Thoughts

COLUMBUS, OHIO (ACP)
All those stories about college
athletes who can't spell their
own names fail to pieces as a re-
sult of this story. It's about Kent
State University and comes via
the College Crossroads column
in the Ohio State Lantern.

It seems Kent State has a var-
sity filled only with athletes,
each of whom participates in a
varsity sport and also holds down
an outside job. That dorm rank-
ed above both the all-fraternity
and all-men's grade averages for
the past quarter.

First Lyceum
Program

The Lyceum Committee of Sa-
vannah State College presented
on Thursday evening, October
18, at 8:15 P.M., the Robert Jof-
frey Dancers, one of the newest
dance companies on the Ameri-
can musical stage. This group's
accent was on entertainment and
the production was designed to
bring a new idea in dance pro-
grams. The program consisted
of a combination of romantic
ballet, dramatic dance in the
Spanish style and musical com-
edy dance in the best American
tradition, with a liberal sprink-
ling of song.

Three leading young American
dancers headed the company of
seven: Glen Tetley, Beatrice
Tompkins and Gerald Arpino.
TV fans readily spotted Mr. Tet-
ley who has danced on nearly
all the major video revues. He
has also been featured in opera
ballet, in Broadway musicals
and in concert dance here and
in Europe. Since 1951 he has
been a TV "regular" at Christ-
mas time as a dancing shepherd
in the annual telecasts of Glan-
Carlo Menotti's opera, "Amahl
and the Night Visitors."

Beatrice Tompkins has tourec
the U. S. and Europe as soloisi
with the Ballet Russe de Montt
Carlo and with the New York
City Ballet. The dark-hairec
dancer was also prima ballerina
of the San Francisco Opera-
Gerald Arpino is another young
veteran of TV, who has also been
featured on Broadway in "Annie-
Get Your Gun" and "Bless You
All" and with the May O'Donnell
Modern Dance Company, Latin
America has also had him as
soloist with the Nana Gollner-
Paul Petroff Ballet.

A triple thi-eat supporting per-
former in the company is an ex-
traordinary young man named
John Wilson, He demonstrated
his gifts as a dancer, a baritone
and a pianist. At the age of 25,
Mr, Wilson has also been teacher,
a prolific composer and arranger
and a director of dramatic works.

Choreography and staging of
the program were done by Seat-
tle-born Robert Joffrey whose
ballet productions for Ballet
Theatre, for the Ballet Rambert
of London, and for the NBC Tele-
vision Opera Theatre have
marked him as one of the lead-
ing newcomers to the dance. One
of his original ballets was fea-
tured on the program which was
held in Meldrim Auditorium.

named co-captains for the 1956
gridiron season for the Savannah

Batchelor is the only member

Conference, he won the 1956
pole vaulting title and set a new
Conference record. His other
victories came at the 1956 Ala-
bama State College Relays and
the Tuskegee Relays, at Tuske-
gee Institute. He is presently one
of Savannah State's most color-
ful and effective halfbacks, and
the leading scorer and ground
gainer for the current season.

Louis Ford has been playing
end with the Tigers for three
years. He also ran track on the
varsity team his freshman year.
Ford has been an active partici-
pant in the Y.M.C.A. and other
organizations during his tenure
at Savannah State.

Ford expects to graduate in
June of 1957. Upon graduation

Cooperation, Where Is Thy Sthig?

Cooperation, according to the
Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dic-
tionary, means working jointly
for a mutual benefit. The same
word when used to describe the
actions of our students means
just the opposite. Wliy is it that
sometlTing has caused the school
spirit to sink to such a low level?
It is the opinion of this col-
umn that something has killed
the school spirit of our students.
One no longer hears the expres-
sion, "Let's give it the old col-
lege try." Even the Greek let-
ter organizations are lagging.
Where is the competitive spirit
that we usually find in groups
of that type? It may not have
been noticed, but our homecom-
ing activities were affected by
this very low cooperative spirit.
Wherever floats and cars were
being decorated, very small
groups were doing all of the
work. Each of these groups was
part of a larger group that
should have been working. Even
though this column realizes that
this is a subject much too broad
to speak about, it also feels that
these observations must be
placed before the public-
Returning to the subject of
homecoming, I should like to
make mention of the fact that
the float of the Campus Queen
should always be the most beau-

tiful. Yet, only the Student
Council President and a few
steadfast members of the coun-
cil decorated the float. This
has happened for the past three
years. Why is it that out of an
enrollment of over one thou-
sand, only five people worked
on the Queen's float? It is the
responsibility of every student
attending this institution to
work on a project of this type.

Tliis column has expressed the
opinion of a few; it is up to the
many to decide if this opinion
will stand up under the bom-
bardment ot public criticism. At
any rate, the fact remains, a
school is made up mainly of
students, regai'dless of the num-
ber of officials responsible for
administration. Any school is
only so good as the students
that are enrolled. The success
of any school rests on the shoul-
ders of each individual. He can
let his shoulders sag and drag
the name of the school in the
mud. or he can hold them erect
and carry the school's banner
high.

This column would like to be
quoted as saying: "This is our
school; let's cooperate with all
of its programs; they are offered
for the benefit of all."

Six Day School Week In The Making

Within the next five years it
may be necessary to hold college
classes on Saturdays to take
care of the additional students
who will be attending universi-
ties by tloat time. High school
students should be used to that
procedure, because they will
probably be on a six-day week
before the college.

In making this prediction. Dr.
H. J. Sheffield, director of ad-
missions and registration at the
University of Southern Califor-
nia, said that by using Saturday
as a school day, enrollments can
be expanded by as much as one-
fifth.. He sounded the following
warning "don't";

"Don't offer fewer personal
services and less individual help
to students simply because there
appears to be an endless supply
with which to replace your drop
outs.

"Don't push your part-time
student, or students who belong
to some other marginal category,
out of your school without con-

By C. Eugene Hubbard

For the past few months all
the world's attention has been
focused on the Middle East crisis,
where the seeds of World War
III could be sprouting.

After Britain and France de-
stroyed the Soviet equipped Air
Force of Egypt, crippled the
small Egyptian fleet, and
wrecked much of the organized
land forces of that country, a
cease-fire followed. Now the
U. N. is organizing a Police
Force that will move to enforce
a truce. It has been reported
that the main objective of the
British-French action was to
drive Egypt's dictator, Col.
Gamal Abdel Nasser, from his
position of power; Col. Nasser.
however, still remains in power.
The Suez Canal is not under
control of British troops. It re-
mains blocked. This again is a
failure of British-French move-
ments,

Russia threatened to send
what they termed volunteers for
Egypt's army if Britain. France
and Israel delay withdrawal oi
their troops from Egypt and
warned that she may use force it
those countries defied U. N.
peace moves.

This is a move Soviet leaders
have made down through the
years, and on many similar oc-
casions.

Reports have been made that
because Britain feels that the
U. S. failed them in the Middle
East crisis, they are now plan-
ning to support Red China's bid
for a seat in the U. S. The Brit-
ish had agreed to back U. S.
efforts to keep Red China out of
the U. N. for at least one more
year in erturn for U. S. backing
in the Middle East.

The crisis in the Middle East
with its continued uprisings
leads one to wonder;

What lies ahead now in the
turbulent Middle East?

Is the Soviet Union plotting
another Korea type war there?

Is World War III in sight?

Can the U. N.'s police force
actually maintain peace in
Egypt?

Can the U. N. order any nation
around?

Was not the Korean war called
a police action?

THINGS MUST BE GETTING
MIGHTY ROUGH

We knew that beef prices were
down, but had no idea they were
as low as this story from the
Kansas State Collegian indi-
cates.

A new depth was reached this
week on the cattle market. A
farmer down in Missouri sent a
2-wek-old Jersey calf to market.
It soid for S1.25. The sales barn
charges 60 cents for commission,
25 cents for yard fees and 5
cents for insurance.

For a minute, the farmer
thought he had a neat 35-cent
profit. Then the trucker han-
ded him a $1 statement for haul-
ing. So. in the end, he lost 65
cents.

Baylor Has Dormitory

For Marrit'J Students

The $375,000 48-apartment
dormitory Baylor University has
built for married students is be-
coming a "model plan" for oth-
er universities across the coun-
try. Dr. Roy J. McKnight, vice
president, said that business of-
ficers from many other colleges
have inquired about the unique
dormitory plan so that they may
duplicate the ideo on their cam-
pus. Officials of the Home and
Housing Finance Agency also
have expressed favorable favor
with Baylor's pioneering ven-
ture.

"All utilities paid" make the
$75 monthly rental charge for
the completely furnished and
completely modern air-condi-
tioned apartments "phenome-
nally cheap," according to hous-
ing experts. While no break-
down is shown on the bills. Bay-
lor officoals figure that the cost
includes $45 rent on the space
itself, $10 for furniture. $10 for
utilities, and $10 for the year-
round heatinfl and cooling sys-
tem.

Dr. McKnight and Dean of
Men W. C. Perry ;;dreamed up"
the building while facing a
critical need for housing accom-
modations for married students.

ranged in two separate buildings

A New York University profes-

"If the fraternity is what its
enemies say it is. then it is hart!
to understand the encourage-
ment and support that havr
been given to fraternities durini:
the past century by the bettei
American colleges."

The Professor went on to say
that the congenial environmen'
found in fraternities is of grea'
importance. He also added thai

Professor Mallery emphasize]
the fact that although a limited

8ook Week
Observance

Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, 1956
Theme: It's Always Booktime

Modern man seems to be on a
' wenty-four hour merry-go-
round. One cannot say to him
"If time be heavy on your
hands, do this or that" because
there never seems to be any
time left over at the end of the
day. All America has worked
to put more leisure time in that
twenty-four liours by shortening
the work week. One might well
inquire of the use to be made of
this prized commodity. It is
hoped that some of it will be
devoted to reading. It seems,
however, that reading is fast
becoming a lost art as so many
people now depend on television
and radio for information and
entertainment..

Once each year the Book
World spotliglits the art of read-
ing. The College joins in this
annual observance. This season
Powell Laboratory School will
present Marjorie Barrow's play
"The Enchanted Door" in Col-
lege Assembly, Thursday, No-
vember 29. The culminating
activity will be given by the Col-
lege Library during the Sunday
Vesper hour. Immediately after
this program Open House will
be held in the Library.

Won't you take some time to
help your College celebrate Na-
tional Book Week?

Common Goals
Of Everyone

One of the results of the Self
Study Committee at the Univer-
sity of Wichita has been the
formulation of desired objectives
in a university education. The
Committee explained that these
objectives should be common to
all individuals irrespective of
their vocational odbjectives;

1. To develop personal and
social resources and participa-
tio nin activities conducive to
good physical and mental liealth.

2. To develop effective citi-
zenship tlirough a thorough
knowledge of the democratic
process of political institutions.

3. To develop the ability to
communicate effectively through
the spoken and written word;
to read and listen with under-
standing, and to converse freely
with persons of divergent in-
terests.

4. To develop an understand-
ing of the historical legacy of
men, its contributions to the
contempory scene, and an un-
derstanding of the history of
the United States.

5. To develop the under-
standing and practice of moral
and spiritual values.

6. To develop an understand-
ing of the basic principles of the
natural science and their impact
on modern society.

7. To develop basic mathe-
matical skills and an under-
standing of them as an instru-
ment of reason.

8. To develop an understand-

Is Co-Education
Desirable?

New York University is faced
with the question of whether co-
education is desirable. There
seems to be at least a chance
that the school . . . long a cita-
dl for males . . . will start ad-
mitting female students.

Experts who conducted a
$250,000 study of the University's
operations have urged co-edu-
cation at the earliest possible
date. In support of that action,
faculty members have presented
the following arguments; "Co-
education would make our stu-
dents gentlemen .. . . Our stu-
dents as a whole have not had
social experience ... it would
improve the social atmosphere.

On the other hand, opponents
of the co-education move con-
tend that it would destroy what
they call "the desired separa-
tion of the student from his own
environment." They contend
that the University's chief ad-
vantage is that it is not co-ed-
ucational and that to change
this situation would be to rule
out this advantage. They also
say that male students might
lose detachment if the girls
moved in.

Are Entrance
Exams Valuable?

The question of whether ex-
ams such as Junior College en-
trance tests are valuable has
been debated for a long, long
time. The Fresno Junior College
Rampage recntly published this
editorial on tlie subject:

Many of the students who
take the Junior College entrance
tests which are given each year,
complain that th tests are bor-
ing and time consuming and
completely useless.

Let us consider the facts. Most
students entering college have
only a vague idea of their
knowledge of the English gram-
mar, literature, and vocabulary.
They don't know whether or not
they are capable of handling
English lA. Most young people
cannot judge the amount of fact
they are able to retain from
their reading.

Let's take for instance a pre
nied student and face the hard
facts. Tills particular student
had better have a whopper of a
vocabulary and an A class read-
ing retainment percentage. A
foreign language major or an
education major had beer know
his English grammar backwards
and forwards. This English en-
trance test shows what particu-
lar individuals lack in certain
phases of English and what
they ned to develop and what
classes are best suited to this
development.

As far as the aptitude test is
concerned you may be the type
of person who knows just what
he wants and just what his in-
terests are. But believe it or not
there are many young people
who have not yet found their
real Interests in lite and who
haven't the vaguest notion of
what vocation they're best suited
for. By asking the JC student
very personal questions and
evaluating the answers, test
scoers can determine a student's
interests and vocational appi-
tude. And what could be more
helpful to a teenager just enter-
ing college than this.

Scholarship Anienthnenl
Announced at University

Of Pennsylvania

An amendment to the require-
ments for eligibility to hold a
scholarship for students attend-
ing the University of Pennsyl-
vania, was announced here by
Douglas Dickson, secretary of
the committee on scholarship
and student aid.

The new amendment states
that "an undergraduate scholar-
ship holder must attain an aca-
demic average of 3.0 for the pre-
ceding academic year to hold a
scholarsiilp unconditionally for
the n ext academic year."

The amendment also states
that an undergraduate scholar-
ship holder whose average in
June for the preceding academic
year is between 2.0 and 3.0 may
have scholarship assistance re-
newed for one probationary
year. If liis armual average is
less than 3.0 in June for his pro-
bationary year, his scholarship
assistance will be subject to rev-
ocation, Dickson said.

A student in attendance must
have a 3.0 average for the pre-
ceding academic year to be elig-
ible for the initial award of a
scholarship, he added.

There was an earthquake re-
cently, which frightened the in-
habitants of a certain town. One
couple sent their little son to
stay with an uncle in another
town, explaining the reason for
the nephew's sudden visit.

A day or two later, the par-
ents received this telegram: "Am
returning your boy. Send the
earthquake."

December, 1956

Tigers Open Cage Season Against
South Carolina State College

When the Savannah State
Tigers open their cage season
against South Carolina State
College on December 3, Savan-
nah will have two players on
their squad who have been
named to the all-conference
team for three consecutive years.
Robert iRobbie) Lewis and Noel
(Snuffy) Wright, who are con-
sidered by many as two of the
most colorful players in this sec-
tion of the country, are Savan-
nah State's only all-conference
competitors for the 1956-57 cage
season..

Lewis, captain of the Tiger's
squad last season, was among

Itoljert Lewis

the consistent scorers on the
team. While serving in tlie army,
Lewis was named to the all-
army team for his excellent per-
formance on the court.

Noel Wright

Noel Wright, who shares the
honor along with Lewis of being
one of the toughest little men in
the conference, is also one of
the most effective long-shot
artists that Savannah State has
ever produced. Aside from be-
ing a long-shot artist, Wright Is
one of the fastest players on the
team and one of the leading re-
bounders in the conference.

In addition to Wright and
Lewis, the Tigers will have such
players as Robert Robbins (Sa-
vannah State's leading scorer
during the early part of the
1955-56 season), Clevon Johnson,
Charles Ashe, Thomas Adams,
Charles Beard, Myles Oliver, Roy
Fuller, Frank Gordon. Henry
Jackson and several freshmen
who will be out to capture the
conference crown.

lAst season the Tigers fin-
ished second in the conference

and second in State tournament.
The Savannah State Tigers lost
their conference tournament to
Albany State 72-74 and they
were defeated by Morehouse in
the finals of the state tourna-
ment.

The Tlgerettes shared the con-
ference crown with the girls of
Albany State College and they
were winners In tournament
competition. The Tlgerettes de-
feated Albany 36-34 for the
tournament crown.

Marriage
And Collew

SYRACUSE, N.Y, (ACP)

There's been a lot of talk about
the advantages and disadvan-
tages of getting married while
still in college. So. we pass along
these observations by Professor
Ralph Dakin of the sociology
department at Kansas State.
They were reprinted in the Syra-
cuse Daily Orange.

Marriage and college can mix,
according to Protcssor Dakin. He
says that married students usu-
ally make higher grades. Dakin
believes this is due to the in-
creased security and responsi-
bility. Students seem to feel that
marriage actually helps their col-
lege work. And. in opposition to
many studies. Dakin said that
the divorce rate for college mar-
riages is lower than for the com-
parable highly educated persons.

Commenting on ihe same sub-
ject, a Kansas minister has said
that colleg'e marriages are -much
more dependent on the couple's
level of maturity, the degree to
which they want to make, a go
of marriage, and their common
interests than upon the influence
of college life. In other words,
the success of a college marriage
depends upon the same factors
that influence any marriage.

Dramatics Class

The first meeting of the year
for the Dramatics Class was held
November 1, 1956. It was charac-
terized by great interest and en-
thusiasm.

The officer.'} for the year were
elected. Robert Tindal, presi-
dent: Alice Sevens, recording
secretary and chaplain; E. Gun-
nar Miller, financial secretary;
and Florence Bodison, reporter.

The Dramatics Class is work-
ing on the play "You Can't Take
It With You" by Hart and Kauf-
man. Mr. T. E. Jordan, the ad-
visor, is also play director. You
can be sure that you will be
hearing more about this lascina-
ting play In the near future.

NATO

Scholarships

For the second year the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization will
sponsor a .scholarship program
to further the study of the com-
mon traditions, historical ex-
perience and present needs of
the North Atlantic community.

NATO will sponsor a series of
exchanges among the NATO
countries in two categories; sch-
olarships and research fellow -
ships and research fellowships

At the request of the Depart-
ment of State, the Institute of
International Education (1 East
67th Street, New York City) will
assist in the screening and
recommendation of American
students for the scholarship pro-
gram. The Conference Board of
Associated Researcli Councils
12101 Constitution Avenue.
Washington 25, D.C.) will screen
applicants for the research fel-
lowships. All American candi-
dates uill be chosen by the
Board of Foreign Scholarships,
ten leading educators and educa-
tional administrators appointed
by the President of the United
States. These candidates will bt;
submitted by the Department oi
State to NATO's international
selection committee which will
make the final awards from
among applicants from all NATO
countries.

Competition in the United
States opened August 1 and
closes November 1, 1953. Candi-
dates who have applied for Uni-
ted States Government foreign
study grants under the Fulbright
Act may also enter the NATO
competition. Awards for the
1957-58 academic year will be
announced April 4, 1957, the 8th
anniversary of the signing of the
North Atlantic Treaty.

Applicants for the NATO sch-
olarships must be United States
citizens in good health. Prefer-
ence will be given to candidates
with some graduate training.
Language proficiency will be es-
sential for placement in non-
English-speaking countries. Sch-
olars will be selected on the basis
of their scholastic record, the in-
stitutions at which they propose
to pursue tlieir studies, and their
subject of study. Grants will be
500.000 French francs for one
academic year of study plus
travel expenses.

The international selection
committee will aim at an equit-
able distribution of awards
among the member states. This
is a program for exchanges
among all NATA nations rather
than between the United States
and a limited number of other
countries.

The aim of the NATO fellow-
ship program is is further the
idea of an Atlantic Community

upon which these institutions
are founded, and by promoting

conditions of stability and wel.

On Thursday, December 19.
1956 approximately one-fifth of
the student body and -a portion
of the faculty voted 129-39 in
favor of the recommendations
made by the Committee on Mo-
tor Vehicles and Regulations to
put into effect on a trial basis,
whereby in the near future Sa-
vannah State will have county
approved school zones, red
blinker lights at the Palligant
College street intersection, traf-
fic regulation signs at the en-
trance to the campus. All
traffic will travel one way in a
counter clockwise direction with

vent violations of the rules cer-
tain fines have been recom-
mended and approved and all

fines within five days of the of-
fense adds fifty cents to the fine,
excluding Saturdays, Sundays
and college holidays. Should a

The Stiiflont and His Ideas

By Isaiali Mflver

THE TIGER'S ROAR

January, 1957

F.ihrarv News

Students arc often reminded
that tomorrow they will become
leaders and therefore they
should practice formulating
ideas and form the habit of ex-
pressing these ideas.

Words such as these sound
very encouraging to the student
at first. However, they soon rea-
lize that these phrases are only
uttered because they sound
beautiful In democcratic socie-
ties.

The mere fact that an indivi-
dual resides in certain sections
of our beloved Democratic so-
ciety prevents one from expres-
sing his views. In many areas
students and certain groups of
the population are not permitted
to be expressive. They can ex-
press their thinking only as long
as their ideas are not contrary
to the existing sentiments.

Being a resident of certain
areas is not the only reason why
individuals fail to express their
ideas. If many among us who
encourage the average student
to be expressive were fortunate
enough to hear the average stu-
dent express his sincere ideas or
beliefs, chaos would result.

A student is often en-
couraged to speak up when some-
thing happens or is happening
that he does not condone. How-
ever, if he makes a suggestion to
change the manner in which
certain projects are handled at

present, he will be reminded that
there are those who know best
because of experience. He will be
told that there are individuals
who are hired for the purpose
of advising when the student
gets off the beam. When one's,
thinking is considered off the
beam, many fail to observe that
what was "once off" is "now
on."

In many instances, the ex-
perienced fail to realize where
advising ends and where dic-
tatorship begins. It is said that
people wliose ideas are not ac-
cepted will eventually give up
and fail to be expressive.

Since there is no single person
or small group that knows what
is best, everyone should be given
consideration before any type of
action is taken, especially if
everyone is responsible for the
proper performance of the par-
ticular event or is affected by
the decision that is made..

If today's students are to be
tomorrow's leaders, some of the
factors mentioned above should
be considered. It is said that if
old age were the only source of
wisdom, the country's ideas
would be formulated at the
homes for the aged. Evidently
this is not true; those who will
have to lead tomorrow should
be given an opportunity today
to practice for tomorrow's per-
formance.

Those Resolutions

Have you noticed a marked
difference in the behavior of
your friend since he returned to
school from his Christmas vaca-
tion? Does he seem to be more
serious about school, spending
most of his time in the liibrary
studying instead of sitting in the
Center talking about the various
instructors? Does he mention
such strange sounding names
and places as Egypt, Yemen, and
Ghana? Has he asked you what
is your opinion of the adminis-
tration's new Middle East doc-
trine? If so, you are on the
verge of losing a good friend,
and those happy carefree days
you enjoyed prior to Christmas
v/ill be lost forever, unless you
do .something real soon about
the situation.

You have probably guessed the

reason for your friend's rather
strange ways by now but if
you have not the change of
behavior has come about simply
because he has made a few New
Year's resolutions and is doing
his best to keep them. This
means either that you will have
to change, that is, you will have
to find out what Yemen and
Ghana are, what the new Mid-
dle East doctrine is (chances are
you do not know what the old
one was), spend your time study-
ing, or lose your friend. Friend-
ship is too precious to let a few
old resolutions ruin it, so those
resolutions will have to go.

However, if he has kept them
this long, you are in for trouble,
for anyone who keeps resolutions
for more than a few days is

Biographies of Current
Interest

Biography as a form of litera-
ture offers much to a reader. It
has the power of inspiration, ex-
ploration and discovery. It is
the easiest and most natural
bridge from fiction to fact. All
biography should be honest,
simple, and above all, interest-
ing.

The current titles reviewed
here may or may not meet all
of the standards required of a
good biography. Their lasting
appeal can be determined by
time alone. But all of them are
interesting and highly readable.
Why not see if they meet your
standards for a good book?

Fred Allen. Much Ado About
Me. Such a title might suggest
to a casual observer that here is
another stuffy autobiography.
But such is not the case at all.
Instead, it is an amusingly told
account of the story of John
Florence Sullivan, of Cambridge.
Mass,, who became Fred Allen,
America's wittiest comedian. It
is also the story of tiie rise and
decline of that past form of
entertainment known as vaude-
ville. Although the present gen-
eration probably remembers Al-
ien best as a radio comedian,
vaudeville was his first love. Ed-
win O'Connor, in his epilogue to
the book, says that it is "a rare
and wonderful book by a rare
and wonderful man, wlio in spite
of having written literally hun-
dreds of the wittiest and most
felicitous letters of our time, did
not for a moment consider him-
self to be really a good writer
at all."

Marian Anderson. My Lord,
What a Morning. Miss Anderson
has recorded the story of her
life in a most charming and yet
unassuming manner. She has
often minimized her accom-
plishments and the events which
have happened during her career
especially the Constitution
Hall episode. In spite of her
modesty and reticence, the read-
er is able to follow Miss Ander-
son's life from her childhood, her
first public appearance, to the
great concert halls of the world
and finally to her appearance on
the stage of the famed Metro-
politan Opera House. One re-
viewer has stated that her story
is told "with the simplicity and
dignity and graciousness people
have come to associate with
her." To read this book is indeed
a rewarding experience.

Poppy Canno n. A Gentle
Knight: My Husband, Walter
White. Poppy Cannon, Mrs. Wal-
ter White, has written a love
story as well as a biography of
her husband. It is chiefly con-
cerned with the last six years of
Mr. White's life, when he was in
the limelight of his much pub-
licized interracial marriage. The
author naturally includes much
of her own feelings and experi-
ences which resulted from this
union, ilt is interesting to note
that she was often mistaken as
the Negro as she was much
darker than Mr. White.) In
spite of the warnings received
from their friends and colleagues
in both races, the slights that
were expected, to some extent,
and the always present press, the
couple managed to build for
themselves a happy life which
was ended by Mr, White's un-
timely death in 1955. The author
has succeeded in reporting on
two worlds in a manner both
personal and analytical.

Billie Holiday, Lady Day Sings
the Blues. Here indeed is what
may be termed a very tough
book. The famous blues singer
writes quite plainly of what it is
like to grow up as a child in a
Negro slum. The shocking story
also includes Billie's hard luck in
her career, her marriage, and

A Message from the President

In some soLJelies there i-- a (Iffinile age at which the youth Ijecoint-
ji;rown and assume full responsibility for their own lives. In America
(luring the nineteenth century ami early twentieth century, there was a
ronnnon concept that the age of twenty-one for men and the age of
fighleen for women represented the beginning of full responsibility for
manhood and womanhood respectively. Under the changing social
and economic conditions this concept has tended to fade out and
become less general. In practically all levels of American education,
from the elementary school to the graduate school, pupils and students
are exercising degrees of responsibility. In the secondary schools and
colleges will be found many who carry the responsibilities of full citizens.
It is no longer a matter of age that determines the exercise of respori-
sible citizenship. In a number of states the recognition of this tendency
has been encouched in laws which permit young people to vole at the
age of 18. The selection of the low age limit indicates that many
become able to participate in the affairs nf the community long before
ihey reach the age of eighteen.

It is to be expected that ihc young people in our colleges today
will exercise citizenship throughout their college careers. To be a good
citizen, a college student must do more than pass his courses \vith a
grade of "C"". or above, or refrain from interfering with other persons
or things. Every citizen, irrespective of age. needs to he informed on
matters relating lo the community, its operation, its needs, and its
ideals. To be thus equipped one must gain his information through
))ersonal contact, reading, visitation, learning, and observation. .Stu-
dents who do not read the newspapers, listen to the radio, watch
television, discuss the important events of the day. are limiting the pos-
sibilities for becoming effective citzens. In addition to the foregoing, a
good citizen develops opinions, participates in a limited number tf
activities, and prepares for continuous improvement and growth.

There is little reason for college students to assume that they
will be excused from shouldering responsibilities that grow out <f
their living and studying. A survey of how American college youtii
live, think, participate and plan will reveal that they possess abilitii^
to perform the full responsibilities of citizenship. If there are driv< ;
and campaigns in the community for health and other types of unitti
effort, the students should plan to participate in terms of their mean^
and abilities. Observation reveals that many college students prefer to
remain immature and irresponsible. To prolong the period of depen^l-
ence' delays the development of the individual. Wherever possible
college students should seize the opportunity to [participate in the life
of their conununity and college and to contribute towards their dt-
\eliipnient. There should be a willingness also to share the difficultie ,
restrictions, and regulations which are required for the moment. Tl e
lifsl titizens today and tomorow will be those who have equipped thei >-
selves as they participated in teaming and living.

dealy serious. The approach
must be subtle and tales of the
good old days must be intro-
duced with caution and at the
most opportune time. A very
good time would be right after
he has flunked an examination,
after studying the wrong ma-
terial half the night. Then you
could remind him of the days he
flunked without losing any
sleep. A number of schemes can
be thought of to put him back
on the right track.

How will you know when he
has thrown those resolutions out
of tlie window where they right-
fully belong? Simple when he
stops entering class before the
roll is called, stops giving cor-
rect answers, stays out of the li-
brary, and loses interest in the
Far, Middle, and Central East.

Perhaps society gains a
knucklehead, but what is more
important is that you will have
regained your good old pal, un-
changed and unconditioned by
the educative process.

written of her rise to fame and

Style in Colleges

The first-year collegian wants
to make the best adjustment
possible to the new world about
him, whether he's come across
country to school, or he's attend-
ing the local city college down
the block. One pre-requisite to
fitting-in smoothly is the way
he looks.

Today's college man may or
may not be a football hero,
trigonometry master or literary
wizard, but one thing he will be
is clothes-conscious, reports the
Men's Fashion Foundation of
Cooper's, Incorporated, manu-
facturers of "Jockey" brand un-
derwear and Coopers hosiery and
sportswear. The Foundation,
after a recent merchandising
survey, notes that the BMOC of
today is dubbed by many fashion
experts the best dressed in his-
tory. Often, the college man is
the pace setter in men's fash-
ions.

Good grooming is, of course,
the first pre-requisite to any
wardrobe requirement, the
Foundation states, A cashmere
jacket on an Adonis who needs a
shower and a shave is like the
house without the foundation !
Once a man has acquired a basic
list of good grooming essentials
he's ready to learn how to look
like a "man in a million," The
beginning college student will
find several new innovations for
fall. 1956, but the staple items
are more important than ever,

Oxford, button-down shirts in
colors and white, and sUm ties
in neat rep stripes and foulard
patterns are up to the minute.
He'll be attracted by the latest
glen plaid and vertical stripe
patterns in sport jackets and
the new lighter shades of blue
and gray in 3-button worsted or
flannel suits. Two pairs of slim-
fitting, lightweight flannel or
worsted slacks, sportshirts in
classic styling and several
sweaters, both the sleeveless
pullover and the crewnecked,
bulky, long sleeved varieties,
will take care of his campus
needs.

White bucks are being re-
placed by tennis shoes on many
campuses this year, the Founda-
tion comments. These, too, are
worn with everything from ber-

Humor

By E. G. Miller

A missionary, newly-arrived
at the Cannibal Islands, asked
where his predecessor was.

"Your predecessor," replied
the Cannibal chief, "has taken
a trip to the interior."

You're driving me out of my
mind.

That ain't no drive, my dear.
That's a putt.

"Mama, what is a second story
man?"

"Your father's one. If I don't
believe his first story, he always
has another one ready."

It was only yesterday that I
gave you ten dollars so you
would have something for a
rainy day."

"Yes, you did. Dad, and I
went right out and bought four
pairs of chiffon stockings,"

"Where's that artist we hired
this morning to help you?"
asked the foreman,

"Oh", replied the bricklayer,
"He laid a row of bricks and
then stepped back to admire his
work".

Bridegroom: "There's some-
thing wrong with this chicken a
la king."

Bride: "There can't be. The
cook book says its perfectly de-
licious."

Johnny: "Mother I found a
firecracker with the letters TNT
on it; so I put it under the
school and lit it."

Mother: "Shame on you. Go
right back to school and apolo-
gize."

Johnny: "What school?"

The distance from the col-
lege library ( after 6 p.m. ) to
the girls dorm is 75 steps, 4
kisses, and 2 goodnights.

Three things that every col-
lege male should know:

1 Engagement, the price for
loving.

2 Marriage, the price for liv-

3 Alimony, the price for leav-

You who work on college pub-
lications and wlio are thus
aware of some of the stirrings
within professional journalism
probably think us frenetic in
our attitudes about freedom of
the press.

The unhappy truth is that we
are not emotional enough about
the subject. You people here are
among the generation which is
about to inherit the United
States and you will inherit one
far less free than that into which
I and my colleagues came.

For there has been a steady
erosion of freedom. More and
more doors have been closed to
the press with the result that
the people of the United States
know less and less about the op-
erations of their government
on every level. Never before
have we faced such an appalling

The Message
By Johnnie Lee Mitchell

Sunrise brings the glow.
Daybreak brings the message;
Stillness rubs the sleep from her

eyes,
Nature stirs in her bed, listens,

then arises.
Morning rules in her prime,
Noon takes over with grasping

fingers,
Sunset translates the message to

her neighbors,
Moonrise whispers to the stars

and waits over the harbor.

ship as exists at this very mo-
ment.

Over the past several years,
many of us in journalism have
been batteringat these doors of
suppression and raising a hue
and cry. But we cannot in hon-
esty say that we have yet suc-
ceeded in arousing all the pub-
lishers, editors and reporters.

What victories we have won
have been in the main little
ones. And they will continue to
be little ones until we can shake
up and wake up every publisher
and every editor and a major-
ity of our citizens to the ter-
rible evil that we have been bat-
tling.

Are you aware of the system
of governmental censorship in
effect a steadily creeping cen-
sorship w h i c h daily deprives
you of information you must
have if you are to make intelli-
gent decisions?

Some of you probably know it,
:)ut I do not believe that most of
you are aware of the extent of
this censorship and I maintain
that the fault is largely that of
newspapers and newspaper ex-
ecutives who seem to think that
these are trifling matters and of
no deep concern to the people,

Is it trifling when for the first
time in our national history we
have saddled onto the civilian
branches of government powers
of regulating news heretofore
only held by the military in
times of war?

It is brushed aside with the
explanation that it is merely the
power of classification. Classifi-
cation, nuts! That's merely a
pretty word for censorship.

And they have the gall to say
to us : "Show us where these
classification powers have been
abused and we will review these
eases."

How in the name of Heaven
can you show abuses when the
news is blacked out from you?

In this connection. I am speak-
ing of President Eisenhower's
Executive Order 10 501. This is
the successor to the iniquitous
10 209 which was issued by for-
mer President Truman in Sep-
tember, 1951.

That original order gave to 45
civilian agencies of government
the right to classify information
"restricted," "confidential,"
"secret" and "top secret." This
order gave these sweeping pow-
ers to such agencies as:

The American Battle Monu-
ments Commission.

The Arlington Memorial Am-
phitheatre Commission.

The Commission of Fine Arts.

The Committee on Purchase of
Blind-Made Products,

The Indian Claims Commis-
sion.

The National Capital Housing
Autliority.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.

The National Forest Reserva-
tion Commission.

And the Smithsonian Institu-
tion.

These are just a few of the list
of 45 agencies. Could any intel-
ligent citizen accept powers of
censorship given to such agen-
cies as these? Yet this was the
order of the Government.

When a committee went to Mr.

Truman to protest, that astute
gentleman waved his hands in
that familiar way he has and
said: "Well. boys, you just sit
down and write an Executive
Order that you think will do the
trick. If we like it, we'll take it."

What a wily move that was.
How could newspapermen at-
tempt to draft a censorship or-
der? They had to back away in
dismay, with the President
blandly saying, well, he'd put
it up to them, but they weren't
willing to cooperate.

When Mr, Eisenhower was
elected in 1952 we went back to
the battle. All during the spring
and summer and early fall of
1953. we fought to get our story
across to governmental officials
to get the order revoked. But
it wasn't in the cards. Too many
politicians liked what they had
been given on a silver platter
and they had no intention of
giving it up.

Meanwhile, the stupidities of
bureaucracy were included in all
the daily suppressions. There
were and there undoubtedly
are today girl clerks snipping
articles out of newspapers and
stamping them "Confidential."
And so, too, with radio texts
texts already delivered.

We did succeed in getting a
compromise one of those little
victories I mentioned earlier.

We were able to get 28 of those
45 agencies tossed out of the
censorship system no longer
holding the authority to classify
information.

And they threw us a bone by
scrapping the "restricted" clause.
Which meant only that "confi-
dential" took the place of both
"restricted" and "confidential."

We were promised ever so
faithfully that we were going to
get continuous review of the
classification practices of the re-
maining seventeen agencies.
More important, said the Gov-
ernment soberly, review would
no longer rest with the head of
a department. The power would
now be in the hands of the
President's attorney and special
counsel.

When he announced the revi-
sion. Attorney General Brown-
ell admitted publicly that "we
actually have buildings full of
classified documents" and he
said the new system would work
toward prompt declassification
all along the line.

The record is that in ail this
time we have never been able to
get the President's special coun-
sel to discuss these matters with
us. Indeed, we can't even get
the courtesy of a reply to letters.

Today, these seventeen depart-
ments of government civilian
agencies like:

The Department of Agricul-
ture,

The Federal Power Commis-
sion,

The National Science Founda-
tion,

The Post Office Department.

The Tennessee Valley Author-
ity,

The Departments of Labor and
Interior and Health, Education
and Welfare, and

The Small Business Adminis-
tration,

all continue to use this mili-
tary-type authority to suppress
news. The Executive Order uiilder
which they operate provides/ no
penalty whatever tor abus of
these powers to conceal or with-
hold information that could
safely be released.

This is our own Iron Curtain
in America a curtain that is
being drawn tighter all the time.

Only last year, we in profes-
sional journalism were astound-
ed by the Defense Department's
fatuous proposal that there
should be screened out of non-
security news whatever might
be interesting to an enemy. This
directive, as issued by Secretary
Charles E. Wilson and his depu-
ty, R. Karl Honaman (and later
given Mr, Eisenhower's blessing)
stipulated that there must be a

determination "of whether re-
lease or publication , . would
constitute a constructive contri-
bution to the primary mission of
the Department of Defense."

Do you know what "construc-
tive" means In this context? I'm
not sure I know. What I do
know, though. Is that the ac-
ceptance of this kind of formu-
la Is the simplest way to turn all
power Into the hands of some
clique that can then decide to
tell you what news you ought to
have based on their Interpreta-
tion of what Is constructive for
them,

I am being no rabble-rouser
when I point out that this was
the Hitler way, the Mussolini
way. the Stalin way. the Franco
way. the Pcrbn way,

I will grant that these men in
American Government are not
dictatorial types, I will grant
that they are perfectly sincere.
But I submit that the path they
are following is a road that leads
to a dictatorship. They are fore-
going the ideal tools for the use
of an Inscrupulous man or group
of men.

W hy Use Profanity?
I. Mclver

It is said that one of the reas-
ons why so many individuals use
profanity is that they are una-
ware that there are other forms
of discourse that are even more
descriptive in their respective
languages which are acceptable
that may be resorted to de-
scribe an incident, a situation or
an individual.

The fact that there are so
many individuals who constant-
ly indulge In or resort to pro-
fanity when they are attempting
to be descriptive, forceful, col-
orful and persuasive makes it
an unquestionable that there are
many who are unfamiliar with
many of the acceptable terms
that can be used to obtain the
same goals as those descriptive,
unacceptable vocables commonly
referred to as profanity.

In institutions of higher learn-
ing the inhabitants are not ex-
pected to use profanity in ob-
taining objectives wliich can be
accomplished in a more intelli-
gent and professional manner.
However, in many institutions
tne same tactics employed by
outside unprofessional and un-
intelligent sources are used by
many of the low level aspiring
professionals in our institutions.

Profanity used in the presence
of male or female shows that the
user has been improperly

trained, that his culture has
sunk below acceptable stand-
ards, that the user is disrespect-
ful and that his vocabulary is
very limited,

At one time it was rare indeed
to hear profane words spoken on
a college campus. However, to-
day profanity seems to be as
much a part of the age as pro-
gressive education. Is this new
fad due to the fact that ladies
and gentlemen do not demand as
much respect today as they once
did, or is it something that is in-
separable Irom our present age?

There are certain basic prin-
ciples that must be adhered to
if the atmosphere in a college
environment is to be m ore
wholesome than the environs of
the gutter. Since profanity and
the gutter are so closely associa-
ted, college campuses throughout
the world should campaign vig-
orously to destroy this conta-
gious, crippling malady and lo-
cate an acceptable substitute.

The demanding of the respect
that is due and the enacting of
laws prohibiting the use of pro-
fanity among all who engross
the college walls would be a tre-
mendous move toward making
it less difficult for strangers to
determine whether they are
among inhabitants of our most
undesirable circumjacencies.

W luit^s Wroufi With Our Pro-irums?

I. Mclver

During the past four quarters
many of the students who sup-
port many of our activities here
al the college financially have
failed to be present at many of
the affairs which they have
made possible through the pay-
ing of an activity fee which is
used to sponsor many of the
cultural programs which are
presented here on the campus.

Evidently there must be some
dissatisfaction on the part of the
students since they do sponsor
the activities and fail to attend
them.

Assuming that there is not a
student among us who will will-
ingly part with YAs money for a
purpose for which he reaps no
benefits and yet witnessing this
type of action every time a lyce-
um feature is presented on the
campus, makes the author think
that the type of entertainment
that is being presented is not
chosen in accord with the senti-
ments of the majority of those
who make these features pos-
sible.

Since there Is none among us

who has been a careful observer
over a period of time who can
truthfully say that our cultural
activities, especially the lyceum
features, have been attended by
at least forty per cent of those
who support the program finan-
cially, one feels as though some
type of investigation should be
made to detennine why so few of
the financiers are present at the
concerts which they sponsor.

If it has not dawned upon
anyone to poll the students or
the sponsors and let them sug-
gest or decide who shall enter-
tain them or what type of enter-
tainment they desire, then the
author is recommending that the
student body be permitted to
select its features. When tliis
is done, there wil be no reason to
doubt that each feature that is
presented in the; future in the
auditorium will have in attend-
ance a greater majority of its
contributors, provided that they
are given an opportunity to se-
lect with advice from authorities
the type of entertainment they
prefer.

By C. Eugene Hubbard

Officials report that sanctions
would not force Israel to yield;
and reports that the Commodity
Credit Corporation notes in-
crease in farm price loss, are
some major and important is-
sues facing our nation and the
world today.

Senator Byrd, a Democrat
from Virginia, lias made a pro-
posal that Congress cut Presi-
dent Eisenhower's $7,800,000,000
budget by at least five billion
dollars, in an effort to guard
against inflation. Senator Byrd,
who heads tlie Senate Financial
Committee, revealed that he is
drawing up an alternate budget
calling for specific reductions in
non-defense spendings. Byrd
was quoted as saying that Eisen-
hower's budget is inflationary at
a time when our nation is fac-
ing a definite tlireat of infla-
tion. He said it represented an
increase in domestic spending of
seven billion dollars over outlays
in the fiscal year 1954. He con-
tinued that he was still working
on his proposed budget but it
indicated that his attacks will
be directed largely at what he
termed "intrenclied spending"
on domestic projects. Senator
Byrd added that the worst fea-
ture of the President's budget
is that almost all of the in-
creases it proposes in non-de-
fense spending call for perma-
nent and not emergency spend-
ing.

Mrs Golda Meir reportedly
said that hardships incidental to
any United Nation economic
pressure would not drive Israel
away from the Gaza Strip and
mouth of Aqaba. Reporters
quoted her as saying. "Israel
cannot leave these points with-
out guarantees of security
against renewed Arab raids of
the Strip and against a renewed
Egyptian blockade of the Gulf
which leads from the Red Sea
to the Israeli Port of Elath."

United Nations Secretary Gen-
era! Hammarskjold worked on a
report which he hopes will tell
the Assembly that Israel had not
complied with the Assembly's six
successive resolutions calling for
withdrawal.

In Tel Aviv it was reported
that Prime Minister Ben-Gurion
has told President Eisenhower
that Israel now insists on free-
dom of the Suez Canal passage
as part of its Sinai and Gaza
Strip evacuation price, but later
reports revealed that western
diplomats predicted that Israel
will remove its forces out of
Egypt as a result of U. S. sup-
port of its claim to free naviga-
tion in the Gulf of Aqaba.

Reports are that government
losses in supporting farm prices
during the Eisenhower adminis-
tration have been nearly three
times greater than the total
losses during the preceding 20
years of the federal farm aid
program. Deficits have been
particularly heavy during recent
years, reflecting accumulation of
large surplus supplies and vigor-
ous government efforts to get rid
of them.

Presidenfs Message

In most of the undergraduate colleges in the United States some
consideration is given to religion. Many institutions have a period
designated as rehgious emphasis. During this period special effort
is made to enlist the participation of all students and faculty
personnel. The program usually includes the services of an outside
individual who has been selected for his ability to make contri-
butions in the area of religion. The vigorous activity centered about
religion usually subsides after the evaluation report.

When one studies the extent to which religion functions in
the life of each individual and the culture in which we live, one
wonders how an area so important can be considered lightly for
most of the weeks in the academic year. The limitations on in-
clusion of religion in the curricula offerings do not offer valid
excuse for the omission. It is evident that all of the worthwhile
learnings which young people and adults need can not be included
in the ordinary college curriculum. Since much of the education is
acquired through living and learning outside of the classroom, there
is little ground for not providing for religion.

In general it is true that as the individual grows older, the in-
dividual's responsibiUty for his education becomes increasingly
greater. Many of the extra-class activities, programs and movements
associated with the colleges and developed to answer the needs ol
students for a broader and richer period of college education indi-
cate the recognition of this principle. The values of religion consti-
tute some of the mo^t fundamental needs for effective living.
Religion assists one'iri' developing desirable attitudes toward liv-
ing, tolerance, respect for others, willingness to understand, and
the integration of personality. The Christian outlook on life i.s
in harmony with the basic institutions of society^the family, the
systems of law and justice, the school, our democratic ideals, and
our concept of a good citizen.

A study of our history and cultural development will reveal
that religion has been responsible for the progressive extension
and reinterpretation of our ideals and goals from generation to
generation. It is reasonable to expect tliat the culture will continue
to contribute to and be influenced by religion. While this is true
of the society in which we live, it is likewise true of the individual
personality. Many individuals finding life difficult and void ol
meaning have never discovered what wonders religion can work
One does not need to travel far or to talk with many individuals
to find examples of how religion has given new meaning to lite and
behavior. Religion is something to be kept alive, to be used fre-
quently, to be extended and deepened.

"Still," the editors say, "the
board of education finance, and
presumably the legislature, plans
to cut the UNM budget by more

"We cannot help but wonder
about the relative value of high

think about it.

"Too expensive," said one coed.
"The girl and her family have to
pay for the wedding. That's
enough,"

Other comments: "Men are
too conservative to wear them,"
"Buying an engagement ring
would hurt women's femininity."
"Men don't want people to know
they're engaged. It would inhibit
them."

Purdue StufJputs
Must Make '^C

Students at Purdue University
now have to work harder to be
recognized as a Distinguished
Student, The faculty this year
agreed to raise the index neces-
sary for Distinguished to 5.5 and
to put the stipulation in the code
that the student must pass each
course with a grade of C or bet-
ter.

With the changes made in
Paragraph 24,00 of the University
Code, it now reads as follows:
Distinguished Students: At the
conclusion of each semester the
Registrar shall indicate which
regular undergraduate students
were distinguished in their scho-
lastic work as indicated by the
grades they received at the close
of the semester.

Suitable publicity shall be
given to the names of these stu-
dents. To be cited as a Distin-
guished Student in any semester
one must:

fa) Complete successfully all
the courses to which he has been
assigned with a grade of C or
better except any that may have
been cancelled without a semes-
ter grade.

b I Have completed at least
14 semester hours,

president and Delores Atterberry,
an elementary education major,
is the secretary.

index was started to honor ap-
proximately the top 10 per cent
of the students. Either due to
harder work on the part of the
students or to liberalized grading
on the part of the faculty, or per-
haps due to both, the number
of students who were recognized
as Distinguished has increased
over the years until 23 to 24 per
cent of the students received
this honor.

It was felt that there should
be something to honor those stu-
dents who are receiving still bet-
ter grades, so the new stipula-
tions were added. In its new
form, the code will disqualify
any student who has an incom-
plete, an unsatisfactory in any
zero credit course, or receive a
D. E, or F in any course. How-
ever, it is still possible to be dis-
tinguished the following semestei
if the student gets excellent
grades in the remainder of the
subjects.

Since there isn't a zoo in Sa-
vannah, the evening first grade
class is busy making its own
zoo. It will be located in the
class room. They are learning
many things; they are making
animals, cages, and scrapbooks.
The officers elected for the year
are: President, Harriett Mason;
Treasurer. Albertha Clemmons;
Secretary. Thomas Lovett; Pa-
trols, Michael Meyers and Flora
Lee Robinson.

The socend grades have de-
voted a great deal of time learn-
ing how to read more effectively.
They are learning many pur-
poseful and meaningful experi-
ences through their center of
interest, a continuation of "The
Home" under Mrs. D. C. Hamil-
ton.

The third and fourth grade
classes are making plans for a
trip in connection with their
study on transportation. Mr.
Trotman, of Chatham County
Health Department, is coming
next week to test the third
grade learning. Mrs. E. D. Marks
is the teacher.

The fourth and fifth grade
students joined a "Pen Pal Club".
Their first letters will go to a
fourth grade class at Baton
Rouge, Louisiana. The letters
will be sent as a group in one
large envelope. Mrs. Loretta
Palmer is teacher of these stu-
dents.

The fifth and sixth grade
classes are having a wonderful
time learning to use the diction-
ary. The pupils help plan, which
probably accounts for their en-
thu.siasm and the .success they
are having in using the diction-
ary, is increasing their vocabu-
laries because they consider dic-
tionary study to be a recreation-
al activity. They are getting this
training in an atmosphere of
freedom, relaxation and ease, all
of which are conducive to real
learning. These provide oppor-
tunity to observe more closely
the speech habits of the pupils.
Mrs. M. Wallace is the teacher
of these grades.

The seventh grade class has
organized a Citizenship Club.
The officers: President, Ethel
Robinson : Vice President, Ar-
thur Curtright: Secretary. Betty

A Sahite To Ghana

J. Campbell

On March 6. 1957 the echoes
from the sacred bells of liberty
will reverberate throughout the
world heralding the birth of a
new. fi'ee and independent coun-
try. On that date the colorful
Gold Coast Colony will cease its
existence and in its place the
new state of Ghana will emerge.

The Gold Coast a British
Colony since 1874 will become
the newest Negro republic and
the first black republic within
the British Commonwealth of
nations. On the vast African
continent the new republic will
become the seventh independent
nation, a distinction now held
only by Libya, Egypt, the Sudan,
Ethiopia, Liberia ,and the Union
of South Africa.

At the head of the government
will be Kwame Nkrumah. the
American-educated Prime Minis-
ter, who has labored indefatig-
ably for the country's independ-
ence. Nkrumah's task of leading
the new state is far from an easy
one. His major job is that of ap-
peasing the tribal chieftains,
who fear a loss of power, because
the new government is to be a
strong centralized one.

The potentialities of Ghana
are tremendous. Economically,
the country is stable, with cocoa
accounting for most of the in-
come. Manganese, gold, dia-
monds, and lumber are some of
the other money products, which
have led to the economic stabil-
ization of the country, aiding it
in its drive for independence.

The eyes of Africa and the
world are centered on Ghana as
it begins to prepare for the diffi-
cult job that lies ahead. That
job consists of proving to the
world that it is quite capable of
self-government. Much of the
future success of other independ-
ent-minded African territories,
in their bid for freedom, will rest
upon the ability of Nkrumah to
successfully govern the new state
along democratic lines.

The road to freedom has been
a tiring and extremely difficult
one for Ghana; now that her
freedom is assured, it is hoped
by all the free world that she
will become an example, and will
act as a beacon, guiding the
other colonial-dominated na-
tions along the path to inde-
pendence and freedom.

Hysteria Is Sliockiii^

(ACP Southern Met hodist
University's CAMPUS received
and used this letter in its "letter-
torials" column. It comments on
a current phenomenon.

Yesterday marked the Dallas
opening of the late James Dean's
last movie, "Giant." which is
morbidly b eing exploited by
Hollywood publicity men. The
surge of hysteria over this mala-
droit actor is shocking. Even
Steve Allen and Ed Sullivan have
stooped to hero worshipping of
this rotten idol. Such unscrupu-
lous propagandizing about the
glories of reckless driving and
cruelty to women would be lu-
diorous. if it were not so grotes-
quely wrong.

Contrary to public thought
Jimmy did not die a hero's death
. . . No, he died as he lived, show-
ing a wanton disregard of so-
ciety, speeding down a Califor-
nia highway at 90 miles an hour,
with a mind apparently bent on
mischief. Such grossly anti-
social behavier scarcely warrants
the shedding of maudlin tears.

Actually Dean was emotionally
immature, masochistic, uncouth,
morose, surly and considered by
his fellow actors as physically
dirty . . .

It is shameful that this maca-
bre personality can cause the
vilification and perversion of the
purportedly well-balanced emo-
tions of American youth.

When the evil a man has done
grows into a false myth this is
ample reason to vitiate the vali-
dity of the revered maxim, "De
mortius nil nisi bonum" speak
nothing but good of the dead.

We Wcirry and Wonder

American college students are
thinking seriously o^inut world
affairs. In the rust of student
days, there still is time for
thought. A DAILY TROJAN edi-
torial reflects this.

Seven o'clock in the evening.
A breeze, crisp and sharp, shut-
tles quietly through the campus
The night is clean and fresh.

Benny Morgan, 20 years old,
gazes skyward and appraises the
steel-like stars mounted in a
sky of clear blackness. His pants
are tan, buckle in back ... He
is a college student, a sophomore.

The loneliness of the night.
the deserted walks and paths.
the stillness ... all these invite
thinking. They probe the mind
of young Mr. Morgan. He recalls
the black screaming headlines
of a tumultuous November.
Headlines inspired on a foreign
soil, mothered and nourished by
a beserk mankind.

Headlines about a Communist-
controlled people thristlng for
liberation. The rape of Hungary,

Headlines about the Suez
Canal as Israel and Egypt battle,
Britain and France threaten
war. Blood-soaked hair mats
thickly against smashed skulls.

Par away from Benny Morgan.

Ford Foundation Grants
Goueher $61,200

The Ford Foundation for the
Advancement of Education has
awarded Goucher a grant of
$61,200 to be applied toward a
graduate internship program in
education. Under the grant,
Goucher's fellowship p r o g r a m
has been remodeled along the
line of an "earn while you learn"
plJtl.

During their second semester,
graduate students will hold full-
time teaching positions in the
Baltimore school system and will
be paid $1,500 (equivalent to
45% of the yearly salary of a
regular teacher.) The Baltimore
Department of Education is co-
operating with this program and
will provide experienced teachers
to supervise the graduate stu-
dents.

A special feature- of the pro-
gram will be a six-week pre-
session extending from mid-
August to late September. This
will provide two weeks for orien-
tation for all participants and
four weeks for observation and
participation in a number of
city school, before interns begin
their formal work course.

From October through Febru-
ary students will receive fifteen
semester hours of instruction in
courses on elementary school
curriculum, child development,
and the history of American edu-
cation. An integrating seminar
will correlate theory and prac-
tice.

In shifting from a fellowship
to an internship program, costs
to both the student and the in-
stitution will be considerably re-
duced. College officials believe
that both the opportunity to be
self-supporting and the chance
to assume full-time teaching
duties through the year will
make the program an attractive
one.

Two full-tuition scholarships
will be awarded on the basis of
need as well as a limited num-
ber ranging in amount from $300
to S600.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

February, 1957

Sports

Roland James, a sophomore at
Savannah State, and one of the
most colorful performers, active
on the gridiron or basitetball
court at Savannah has been one
of the Tigers' mainstays in en-
abling Savannah State to cap-
ture the 1956 Southeastern Con-
ference grid crown and he is
described by many as a terror to
rivals in the S. E. A. C. cage
world.

Roland is a graduate of Wood-
ville High School of Savannah.
Ga.. where he served as captain
of the football and basketball
teams and president of the Var-
sity Club.

Upon entering Savannah State
in 1955 Roland became Savan-
nah State's first string quarter-
back as a freshman and has per-
formed from this position for
two years. While serving as
quarterback for the Tigers dur-
ing his freshman year he ran

one of the longest touchdown

runs in the history of the
S. E. A. C. against Clafhn Uni-
versity during the Annual Home-
coming game and he repeated a
similar feat against the Rams of
Albany State College last season.

Aside from his accomplish-
ments in football, Mr. James has
also been a standout in basket-
ball. He is currently the highest
scorer on the squad with an av-
erage of eighteen points per
game with only three games left
to play.

At the beginning of the season
he was plagued with an injury
and was unable to perform. Aft-
er the Christmas holidays he
made his first appearance of the
season and has been a consistent
high scorer ever since. He
reached his zenith in the Febru-
ary 9 Paine College game when
he scored thirty-one points.

Clinic
Vhv

Under the direction of Robert
Holt, assistant professor in the
Department of Languages and
Literature, Savannah State Col-
lege's Reading Clinic is extend-
ing its activities throughout the
summer months as a regular
part of the school's program.

Since the need of students and
teachers to read and interpret
material effectively has become
apparent to many educators as
a vital problem that needs look-
ing into, programs such as the
one functioning at Savannah
State have proven to be of great
Ir e I p to many students and
teachers.

The program is supervised by
an instruqtor in the English De-
partment who has been trained
to do this specialized work. Many
students attend the clinic and
they are derived from three
sources: il) students are recom-
mended by the office of General
Education; (2) students are rec-
ommended by teachers who rec-
ognize weaknesses of students;
(3) students who desire to im-
prove their reading ability vol-
unteer to come.

The clinic offers many oppor-
tunities for self-improvement as
well as supervised improvement.
The clinic attempts to work out
any type problem which the stu-
dents might have. Speed, com-
prehension, and vocabulary
building are emphasized to im-
prove the ability on the student's
part to do study-type work. Stu-
dents are given test upon en-
tering the cilinc to find out their
abilities to determine their weak-
nesses ; after this is done the
program is individualized to meet
the need of each student. The
total program is essentially book-
centered, but some use of me-
chanical devices are employed.

At present there are twenty
students taking advantage of
the opportunity that awaits all
students at Savannah State Col-
lege. The clinic is open five days
a week. Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays the clinic is open
at the 3rd period (10:20-11:10);
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays at the 4th period
(11:10-12:10); and Wednesdays
and Thursdays at the 5th Period
(12:00-1:10).

.Jason Is Member
Lan<fna<je SUil'f

Speaking with a pronounced
Spanish accent, Howard McLean
Jason, new instructor ot foreign
languages, made the following
statement about Savannah State
College in an interview yester-
day:

"It reminds me of Hampton
because it's on the waterfront.
It also reminds me of Southern
Puerto Rico. It's flat, dry and
sandy with lots of mosquitoes.
The only difference is I don't
hear any Spanish and don't see
any sugar cane growing,"

Born of American parents in
Puerto Rico, Mr. Jason came to
the United States at the age of
19. He entered Lincoln Univer-
sity, Pennsylvania, and received
the B. A. degree in 1929. In 1933,
he received the M.A, degree from
Columbia University and has also
done further study there.

His major field is Romance
Languages (Spanish and
French), and his minor is Eng-
lish.

For one year he taught at
Mary Allen Seminary, Crockett,
Texas, an all-girls' school. It was
quite a change after spending
four years at Lincoln, said Mr.
Jason

He has taught at West Ken-
tucky Industrial College and
Kentucky State College, He
worked as a translator for al-
most two years in the Office of
Censorship, Washington. D. C,
and served three years in the
Armed Forces.

Mr. Jason makes his home in
Tuscumbia, Alabama, with his
wife and daughter.

During the many years spent
in America, after associating the
winter season with snow on the
ground from pictures on Christ-
mas cards, Mr. Jason said he
has not yet become accustomed
to the long winters. In his com-
ment on the weather conditions
he seemed a little distressed be-
cause in December there is snow
on the ground and it is cold. In
January there is a little snow:
and, in February and March
there is no snow, but it is still
cold, he said.

Because the campus affords so
many far away memories, Mr.
Jason said. "It makes me feel
as though I'm at home."

Developing Hesjiousihility

By H, V. Nevels. Jr.

Charles Darwin, a late 19th century scientist, established a
doctrine respecting the origin of species as derived by descent,
with variation from parent forms through the natural selection
of those best adapted to survive in the struggle for existence. This
theory simply means that the individual who is better prepared
to meet the demands of nature and the modern problems of the
world will live and survive while the unprepared will falter under
pressure.

Our colleges were established for the purpose of preparing
young men and women for the great and grave task of competing
in society. The prepared individual can enter the varied fields of
society with the background of a college education and experience.
Our colleges seek to develop the individual's personality, knowledge
of the accumulative facts of life, both spiritual and material, and
most of all preparedness for life in the raw. These are the things
students expect out of college. "To face the world as experienced
adults and not as children is our aim," is a phrase often heard on
the campus.

If these are the things students expect out of college then this
is what they should get. But these prerequisites that are needed
can only be given when adults are treated as adults and not as
children. This is one of the most important aspects of the growth
and development of the individual, for it leads the college student
gradually into the adult world.

Some colleges do not feel that college students should be treated
as adults. Why? I do not know. But two years ago an article ap-
peared in a leading magazine telling how a college Dean of Women,
in a mid-western college, fought for the right to treat the senior
women of the college as adults should be treated. She explained to
the dormitory council that if within a year these women are going
to graduate and go out into life alone, they should be given the
chance to understand and find out what adulthood is like. They
cannot find out if they are treated like children. As a result the
senior women were given the freedom to stay out as late as they
desire, and many restrictions were lifted to give them the freedom
they needed. If tliis was good or bad, I cannot say but I know for
myself as an individual in college I want to be treated as an adult
and not as a child.

The average student feels this way and wants to be prepared
for this responsibility not in an idealistic sense but in a realistic
sense. The increasing complexity of society and cultural advances
demands realism of men and women. Until these needs are met
and fulfilled, no college graduate can honestly say "I am ready,"

A Student's Dream

When plans for the half-million dollar library were released
by Dr. William K. Payne, president, the dream of the entire student
body seemed nearer in becoming a reality.

Among the students seeking varied avenues to higher education,
the new library will afford all the modern facilities necessary, in
satisfying their demand for knowledge.

Not only will the building provide an added beauty to the
campus, but new experiences, opportunities, and comfort await
within its walls.

A new spirt will reign among students who exalt in the beauty
and progress of their campus a spirit vital to the moral of the
institution.

This half-million dollar library is a student's dream When
that dream becomes a reality, a new Savannah State will be born.
Yes! This vision long anticipated, and anxiously awaited, is
truly a "student's dream."

Hun*:ary Students
Write Impression

Recent events in Hungary
have focused attention on the
role of students in the fight
for freedom. For this reason,
we are sending you a series of
seven autobiographical sketch-
es written by Hungarian stu-
dent escapees, which were
compiled by our NSA coordi-
nator at Hunter College. These
students are currently partici-
pating in the language train-
ing program at Bard College
with which USNSA has coop-
erated closely. We believe that
you will find this .series time-
ly as well as informative to
your readers, who can gain a
personalized perspective into
the thoughts and feelings of
this cross section of student
freedom fighters.

BOY

I was asked to write a short
composition about what happen-
ed to me and about my first
impressions of the United States.
It is very difficult to really an-
swer such a question because my
experiences and feelings are so
many and widespread that I
could not describe them within
the frame of a short story.

People are different. All have
different ideas, and perhaps this
difference of opinion promotes
world development, and pushes
our life forward. But there are
special circumstances in which
people experience outstanding
events and have the same topic
on their mind.

Not long ago I was in such a
situation on the border between
Austria and Hungary. I started
alone from Budapest and after
four days of marching, I arrived
at the frontier. It was at night;
I could only guess the di'-ection
of the border. My left foot, on
which I wear a machine, was
bloody by the end of the long
march. I thought, I felt I could
not go on. Finally, I perceived
the border sign meaning life to
me. After a few more steps. I
was standing on Austrian soil.
The Austrian border patrols car-
ried me in their hands to the
nearest community. Here I met
more exliausted, tired, and torn
people . - . both men and women.
They were lying on straw pre-
pared for them in a hurry. We
waited for the morning to see
what was going to happen to us.
And perhaps the same
thoughts were on everybody's
mind and perhaps everybody
would give a similar answer to
an occasional un-asked question.
If someone had asked me what
I felt and I knew in advance
that a month later I'd learn the
English language in one of the
most beautiful colleges as a re-
sult of a scholarship, in relative-
ly the greatest luxury, I would
surely have cried from happi-
ness. And now as I think back,
I am convinced that we would
have been all very happy to see
in advance what has happened
to us since, there at the Aus-
trian border in a situation with-
out perspective, in uncertainty
and fearing the future.

And why do I describe all this?
Just to remind many, many Hun-
garian youngsters and perhaps
adults too. of something that
happened to us not so long ago.
Sometimes it is useful to remem-
ber past events and learn what
we owe to ourselves in the first
place and to many others like
us.

Nobody can build his or her
future life on what he or she
did or did not do in Hungary,
We have shown and stilt can
show how much we are v/orth
and to show who we are. Let us
not save our efforts to do what
we have to do. because we shall
enjoy the fruits of our efforts.

President's Message

As one senses the situation in our country today, one is faced
with many statements indicating the swift movement of affairs
Everywhere people are talking about the rapidity of change. A^
the discussion continues, one often wonders what things are perma-
nent and enduring. Perhaps it is meant that the changes are not
all complete and fundamental in nature. The variety and numbei
of changes often give the illusion that everything is changing.

Among the enduring or permanent things needed in our society
is the ability to think. In all societies of the past, the ability to
think clearly has been the chief means by which progress has been
made. Many of the societies and cultures non-existent today be-
came so because the peoples were unable to think properly. In mass
media communication an unusual premium has been placed on
thinking ability. Wherever there are many choices to be madr-
thinking becomes the principal means of making the right choicf
As one makes use of the radio, television, aeroplane, camera anri
other devices such as the newspaper, magazine, recordings, anri
books, he can find many answers to every question generated in
his mind.

To arrive at an adequate solution to a problem it is necessary
to weigh evidence as a part of a system of values. The valufs
which one develops as he matures are related to his society an i
education, both formal and informal. Students who enter collet;r
and feel that a four-year program is too long to wait before becom-
ing active in adult life have a different set of values from tlio.-^i'
who see the four years of college as a basis for a profession which
they would like to pursue. It is often necessary to decide whethei
one will have certain material comforts and luxuries now or at ;t
period five or ten years later. To think through a problem on-
may need in addition to studies, books, newspapers, and other ma-
terials, personal conference with some one prepared to assist in the
thinking a counselor, teacher, psychologist, or psychiatrist. Th-
decision, however, is one only the individual himself can mak^
Usually when its made it wil be satisfactory if it is thought througi.
carefully in terms of the student's background, resources, ideal. ,
and aspirations.

The ability to think like any other characteristic or trait ca^i
be developed in terms of each individual. The schools, elementar ,
high school and college, can play an important part in this develoj:
ment. The opportunities to think presented students at all leve: .
will provide training in this area. Methods of teaching and learr
ing utilized by the school and the teacher will become importar
factors in this development process. Teachers at all levels in tl-
schools are beginning to provide better training in this area. Tl"
emphasis here is not being put on the teacher alone. Pupils an >
students are assuming larger and larger rolls in their own educatlc. i
by recognizing the fact that one educates himself. This tenden*.
toward the development of abilities to think, promises to be tl-
major factor in the continuation of progress individually and co
lectively in our society.

THE TIGERS ROAR

A REVIEW
OF SPORTS

By Thomas Jones

The subject most frequently
discussed on the campus is
which team will win the pen-
nant in the National and Ameri-
can Leagues. Presently the races
in both are very heatedly con-
tested.

In the American League the
contest Is between the New York
Yankees and the Chicago W+iite
Sox. with the Cleveland Indians
and the Boston Red Sox follow-
ing closely in third and fourth
places, respectively

The Yankees, who were odds-
on favorites to run away with
the American League pennant.
find the White Sox giving stiff
competition The Yankees do
not appear to have the punch
and steam as in former years.

The question of what happened
to the Yankees can be answered
by stating that their mainstay.
"Yogi" Berra, is having the worst
season of his career. He is bat-
ting .225 and is not hitting
homers and in the clutch as
expected of him. The Yankee's
ace pitcher. "Whitey" Ford, has
been out most of the season with
numerous injuries. Their reserves
on the bench are not coming
through in the clutch when
needed.

On the whole the American
League appears to be somewhat
stronger than it was last year.
In years gone by the Yankees
would win an aggregate of 60
or 70 games from the second
division clubs, do no worse than
an even split with the first
division clubs and breeze in with
the pennant. But this year the
Yankees are taking their lumps
from the second division clubs
and as a result are not running
away with the pennant.

From this quarter the Yan-
kees will be in the World Seiies
come October, but if they should
stumble along the way. if Berra
and Ford do not pick up the
slack and if the White Sox get
1 little more hitting just watch
out for those White Sox.

Over in the National League
it is the same old story: a dog
eat dog affair and it would be
foolhardy for anyone to attempt
to predict the outcome.

At the season's beginning it
-vas a pick your choice be-
tween the Brooklyn Dodgers,
;\1ilwaukee Braves and Cincinnati
Hedlegs. But now the Philadel-
phia Phillies, New York Giants
and the St, Louis Cardinals are
making the fight for the Na-
tional League pennant a six-
team race. The team:; in the Na-
tional League are so evenly bal-
anced that no one team can
build up a substantial lead. As
L-videncc of this the sixth place
New York Giants are only seven
games out of first place. Any
team that can win five or six
straight games is the team to
beat out.

From this quarter the predic-
tion is that the New York Yan-
kees will be fighting the Dodgers
in the World Series come Oc-
tober.

Post Mortem ... In the Na-
tional League Stan Musial will
win the batting, runs-batted-in
and runs scored titles. Duke Sny-
der will win the home-run title
and the winningest pitcher will
be Bob Buhl of the Braves.

In the American League, Ted
Williams will win the batting
title; Mickey Mantle the runs
scored, run-batted-in and home
run titles.

Now what's your guess as to
how the Major Leagues will wind
Up at the season's end?

Excise Tax Exemption
Clears Another Hnrflle ,
Ajiproaehes House Vote

The House Rules Committee
has cleared for House floor ac-
tion H. R. 7125. reported by the
Ways and Means Committee,
several weeks ago. *See this Bul-
letin Vol VI, No. 17, May 15,
1957). Among other things, the
bill provides exemption from ex-
cise taxes for non-profit educa-
tional institutions. When the bill
comes up for House vote about
the middle of this month, it will
be under a procedure barring
floor amendment.

The late date for House action
on the excise bill could delay
Senate consideration until next
year. But Senator Byrd, Chair-
man of the Senate Finance Com-
mittee, has been quoted as say-
ing he thought his Committee
could complete action on the bill
quickly this session if it did not
prove too controversial.

THE
SPOTLIGHT

By Ernestine Hill
While walking across the cam-
pus sometime ago, I was won-
dering who would be my Spot-
hght subject for this month.
Without realizing it, I was cross-
ing the street as a truck came
very near me. My problem was
solved, for driving the truck was
Levern Carter, It surprised me
that I had not thought of him
before.

Levern. from Baxley. Georgia,
graduated from Appling County
High School in 1955. He entered
Savannah State College Septem-
ber 17, 1955 studying Radio and
Television the first two quar-
ters and in the Spring quarter
starting his academic work in
the field of Industrial Education.

There is hardly a student at-
tending Savannah State who
does not know Levern. Working
for the Building and Grounds
Maintenance group, he is often
seen driving one of the school
trucks around the campus. He
is always busy, but never too
occupied to give you a bright
smile. He is the type of person
whom when you meet makes the
day more cheerful. He is an intel-
ligent, polite, and handsome
young man who has a way of
making every girl he is around
feel that she is something
special.

Levern's hobbies are working
on all kinds of electrical ap-
pliances, and enjoying all kinds
of music. His plans after grad-
uation are to teach for a few
years and then work in some
large corporation, specializing in
electronics.

This writer predicts a great
future ahead of you, Lavern, and
always remember that "The
Spotlight Is On You."

Senate Group Requests

statutory duty of making a final
report to the President and to
the Congress not later than De-
cember 31, 1957. The funds rec-
ommended will provide the nec-

Changes In Rules
Made At Trinity

Hartford, Conn. (IP.) Fac-
ulty members at Trinity College
have approved an unlimited cuts
proposal for the 1957-58 aca-
demic year. Absence privileges
do not apply to the attendance
requirement for Chapel and
Physical Education,

Two other changes in the aca-
demic rules were promulgated:
Effective with tlie class enter-
ing in September. 1957, any stu-
dent who has not received at
the end of a term passing grades
in four courses with grades of
at least seventy in two of these
courses will be placed on pro-
bation for the following term.

The faculty also voted to
tighten the "D" rule. In order to
enter his junior year, a student
must have grades of 70 in at
least five full courses or the
equivalent in one semester
course.

In another local move to
i^trengthen the scholarship pic-
ture, the Inter-fraternity Coun-
cil has voted to raise the aver-
age for pledging to 70. The mo-
tion states that no man shall
be pledged to a fraternity after
the entrance of the Class of '61
unless he shall have a 70 aver-
age at the conclusion of the se-
mester prior to his pledging.

Choosiug A Career

By Johnny Campbell. Jr.

It is an obvious fact that virtually every student who enters
college does so with the purpose of preparing himself for a career.
The choice of a suitable career Is one of the most important, and
at the same time, one of the most difficult decisions that an indi-
vidual is called upon to make. Much frustration, disappointment,
and bitterness arise in later life because of an unwise career choice
made while In college.

Not too long ago. there was practically but a single career that
was open to a Negro college graduate in the South That career
was teaching. But in recent years, there has been a startling re-
versal of that trend. Our economy today is highly developed, calling
for skills and technical knowhow without much regard to who
possesses them. This has greatly aided the Negro, opening to him
many opportunities In industry and business, which previously
were sealed.

A great deal of counselling and orientation is given to entering
students today. But many still cling to the old careers Instead of
branching out into the vast technical world. The economic emanci-
pation of the Negro seems to lie in the field of technology, where
knowledge and ability are the prime requirements for employment.

Two of the foremost motives for choosing any career are the
pecuniary benefits that are reaped, and the degree of freedom
that is granted to the Individual in the performance of his job.

Teachers' salaries lag pitifully when compared with those in
other fields, and raises are slow and infrequent. Bonuses and other
incentives for efficiency and top-rate performances are entirely
lacking. And recently academic freedom has taken a severe punish-
ment. With the numerous loyalty oaths, pledges to uphold particu-
lar institutions, restrictions on membership in certain organiza-
tions, and many otlier legislative impositions, it is difficult to see
how one can teach the truth without transgressing a statute and or
jeopardizing his job.

It would be quite wise for one who is just entering college to
reexamine his career choice in light of recent developments, and
if a choice has not as yet been made, to inquire into the numerous
job opportunities that are available in other fields

Thanksgiving

By Harry V. Nevels

The Pilgrims, despite the hardships they had endured during
their first, trying year in America, gathered together in their re-
spective settlements to thank and give praise to God. This is con-
sidered by many as the first Thanksgiving, There is a story that
even the Indians joined in this thanksgiving.

It is fitting that we today pause to give praise and thanks-
giving to God for the many blessings we have received.

Responsibility Of Students
In Maintaining Campus

By Carl J. Falson

Each student enrolled at Savannah State College is equally
responsible for maintaining the campus and its facilities. Pride In
one's campus should be the enforcing agency.

A school is usually judged by the type of people it produces,
but very often it is judged by appearance. For the benefit of those
who do not know, Savannah State College's campus possesses a
stantly used; so, why do some of us take short cuts across the grass?
in the country. Which of you would choose to mar the beauty of
our moss-laden oaks with trash? Tourists are often riding about
our campus. Would you have them leave with a picture distorted
by litter which should have been put in one of the receptacles
dLstributed about the campus?

We all know that grass will not grow in a path which is con-
stantly used, so. why do some of us take short cuts across the grass?

Most of us who drive automobiles are guilty of disfiguring the
campus. Yes, v/e are as guilty as the "litter-bug" and the "grass
crusher" We should park in designated parking areas only, and
not give the impre-ssion of disorganization by parking in front of
buildings and blocking driveways. Remember, our campus repre-
sents each of us.

It Ls hoped that when thi.s article Is read, each student will
develop a new pride in his campus and make himself personally
responsible for maintaining it.

By Robert Tindal

As the periscope focuses on the international picture, it brings
Into relief many incidents of undetermined influence on the nerv-
ous peace and tranquility of our mid-century world.

Probably the most astounding is the firing of the second earth
satellite by Russia. Sputnik II is whirling around in outer space
at the phenomenal rate of over 17.840 miles per hour, 1,056 miles
out in space. Along with its multitude of electronic gadgets, Sputnik
11 has a live dog inside. An effort to gain data on the effects of
outer space travel on living animals is being made. Data such as
a record of the breathing, heart beat and blood pressure of Curly
(the dog's name in English) are being collected for future use in
man's Invasion of space. The military significance of this satellite
is said by some to lie in its weight, which might be taken as an
indication that Russia has developed a new version of the dreaded
Intercontinental ballistic missile.

NATO MEETING

The periscope now swings to the West and NATO, a summit
meeting which is planned for Paris in December The purpose of
this meeting is to evaluate the West's position in the light of the
recent Russian advances in the field of space travel and the military
significance of these advances. One of the topics that will receive
a great deal of attention is the suggestion that the U.S. and the
other western nations pool their scientific resources in an effort to
speed up their programs and catch up with the Russians.
V. S. IN VIEW

The periscope moves swiftly across the Atlantic Ocean which
has shrunk to the size of a small pond in these times of outer-space
invasion. At present the country is involved in discussions of Ameri-
can stereotyping and anti-intellectualism, said by some to be the
real reason for our failure to keep pace with a fast-changing
scientific world.

These discussions are highlighted in the case of one Private
Ernie Schultz, 24-year old mathematician, who was inducted into
the Army and assigned duties as clerk typist at Fort Lee, Virginia,
This situation was brought to the attention of defense department
officials by Pvt. Schultz's former professor. Dr. Linderman. who
reported that Schultz had invented his own system of algebra to
work certain problems that could not be worked any other way.
Dr Linderman called Schultz the greatest mathematical brain he
has ever encountered.

THE THING???

Moving southwest to Texas, the periscope hears reports of a
mysterious, brightly lighted phantom object squatting in roadways
and then taking to the air just as mysteriously as it appears. Dozens
of people have told of witnessing this phenomenon which is said
to be about 200 feet long and egg-shaped. No adverse effects have
been noted, except that it causes power failure in motor vehicles
and that it has caused several people to faint at the sight of it.
Are we to believe that while we are invading space, spacemen are
also invading earth? First flying saucers and now the Phantom
Thing. This writer can remember when Buck Rogers was considered
fantastic. Can you?

To Sail Beyond The Sunset

Lovers'' Love

By Johnnie Lee Mitchell
Far away a velvet blanket.
Sparked with gleaming, twink-
ling starlight.
Rains delightful rays in drop-
lets;
Lovers' love's so soft and tender
Lovers' love's so rich and so
bright.

Far away a distant drummer

Beats love notes to grant love
sight;

Fills the night with peaceful
slumber.

Lovers' love's so soft and warm-
ing.

Lovers' love's so rich and so
bright.

ISo Thing Stays

By Mary Jean Lester
In the gay bright weather of

sharing Spring,
The flowers winked their eyes

as they began to sing.
For they were happy and their

hearts were gay,
And the sun shone brightly to

the birth of the day.

The flowers thought Spring

would last forever.
And they would only know the

joy of fair weather.
But Autumn came, slowly,

dressed serenly in gold
And grasped the joy which they

strived to hold.

The flowers hushed their sing-
ing and lowered their eyes.

Secret

By Emma Lue Jordan
When everyone turns you down.
And everything goes wrong,
She will keep a secret for you.

When you feel that you can

trust no one,
Just look at her shining face
Makes you know
She will keep a secret for you.

Though the night may seem so

dark.
Then her starry face peeks
Through the fold
Just to say. "There is someone

waiting
To keep a secret for you."

The showers go when comes the

month of May.
The silver night is pushed aside

by day.
But love, true love, is lasting;

it will stay.

A child is born; he lives but for

a day.
His hair, so soft, will soon be

turned to grey;
Much cherished youth will then

have passed away.
But love, true love, is lasting; it

will stay.

American Education Week

This month we celebrate
American Education Week
Schools and colleges, parent
teacher associations, civic and
lay groups will turn their special
attention to American schools
Effort will be made to do somf'
evaluation of the efficiency of
the schools, to clarify purposes
of education, to project present-
day needs and future trends.

The celebration this year will
be observed under condition.^
quite different from those of
former years. During the last
month, events have moved rap-
idly enough to get a clearer pic-
ture of the immediate present
and the not too distant future
Recent achievements in the de-
velopment of earth satellites will
have a special bearing on edu-
cation and schools everywhere
In one aspect, the trend of re-
cent years toward the inclusion
and improvement of the teach-
ing of science and mathematics
will receive added implementa-
tion and provision. Concentra-
tion and training in these area-
will be required to participate
adequately in the conquering oi
outer space.

It may well be expected thai
exploits and ventures in thi.
area will tend to divert atten-
tion of nations from war anc
human destruction which occu-
pied the stage for the past twr
decades. The relaxing of strifh
among nations may permit col-
laboration and cooperation im-
possible to envision before. Thi
kind of cooperation and partici-
pation required to explore othe^
bodies in the universe will placi-
emphasis on other fields thai
the natural sciences and mathe-
matics. The social sciences anc
the humanities will receive neu
orientations in terms of world
collaboration rather than lim-
ited national or hemispheric em-
phasis.

This year attention will h'
given to the early impacts ere
ated by the launching of Sput
niks I and II. The .'\mericai
schools will be looked at criti
cally in terms of national par
ticipation in this new venture
Students In college today repre
sent the advance guard of th
revolutionary new era that i
dawning The boys and the girl
now enrolled in our colleges anc
universities will be the one:
whom history will label as th-^
pioneers of outer space. The sat-
uration points expected in em-
ployment may disappear undei
these new and absorbing ex-
ploits.

Students at all levels of the
college will find it necessary to
consider additional points ol
orientation for their training
and development. Man every-
where on earth will be provided
with a new outlook on life and
the universe. For many years to
come college students will be ex-
pected to participate earlier and
longer in man's conquest of out-
er space and planets that lie
beyond the earth.

Editorial Examination

(ACP) Editors of the Southern Illinois university's EGYP-
TIAN began the year by stating their view of what a newspaper is.

What is a newspaper?

A disseminator of happenings, an advertising medium for busi-
ness houses.

A newspaper is both of these, plus a number of things But
above all. it is a free voice.

People may disagree as to what a paper should do, but most
will agree that a paper must be free. No one denies that freedom
can be abused. Nevertheless, freedom must be qualified, if it need
be, by truth, decency and high ideals.

New Fashions
In Hair Styling

By Katie M. Williams

Fashion tells us this Fall is
the season of the relaxed look
. , . Eased elegance ... A la
Chanel . . . comes to the fore
in a galaxy of fluid fabrics,
bloused and draped into .soft
lines

To complement this feeling,
fashions in hairstyling have be-
come relaxed too. The new coif-
fures never look elaborately con-
trived or stiff . . but rather
are noted for their fluid, natural
lines. The bouffant is now modi-
fied to a soft, fluffy halo with
half moon curls framing the face.
rf hair is swept back from the
face, it is done so in graceful
waves and dips, never skinned
tightly into a severe knot.

Of course, to keep your coif-
fure impeccably in fashion, your
beauty schedule should include
a generous and fastidious
amount of hair-care . . . Beauti-
ful hair is always clean and
shining.

Tlie Denison University Faenhv
Approves Revised Core Program

Granville, O. (I. P.) The faculty at Denison University lias
passed a revised version of the core program which had been
recommended by the Curriculum Committee, Faculty passage cul-
minates the Curriculum Committee recommendation, endorsement
by the Committee on General Education and Senate approval,

According to Dr. Parker Lich- of a survey which revealed that
tenstein, dean of the college, Denison was one of the 136

"The adopted program has
tempted to introduce an element
of flexibility into the general
education program." A year of
foreign language and six hours
of literature are required under
the new system.

Other core requirements re-
main the same making a total
of 60 or 62 hours of general edu-
cation depending on whether
the student takes a beginning or
intermediate language course.
However, a student with the per-
mission of his major adviser,
may waive up to eight hours of
the 60-62 with the exception of
Core 11-12. 18. 21-22, and one
science, Thus the minimum gen-
eral education requirement be-
comes 52-54 hours.

Under the new system, major
advisers may . . , only waive
courses with the approval of the
department chairman or by de-
partment policy. Dr. Lichten-
stein said that waiver cases
would be considered on an in-
dividual basis according to in-
dividual needs. The revised core
program will be effective with
the Class of 1961.

The new program is essential-
ly a compromise of faculty opin-
ions on the purpose and aims of
a general education program.
Four main areas were considered
in the revision of the present
program, according to Dean
Lichtenstein.

FOUR MAIN AREAS

1. It was felt that the adopted
program combined with the pro-
ficiency exams would create a
more flexible and workable pro-
gram. By utilizing proficiency
examinations, capable students
may waive courses in addition to
the eight waivable hours of the
core program.

2. Foreign language was made
part of the program as a result

schools out of 830 surveyed (hat
did not require a foreign lan-
guage for the A.B. degree. Con-
sequently the program incorpo-
rated the language requirement
without substitutes or alternates
into the core system.

Because the faculty was not
overwhelmingly disposed to add
the language requiremeni only
one year has been iniide com-
pulsory. However, it is hoped
that students will be motivated
to take the second year as an
elective.

3 Introduction of the new re-
quirements seems to make the
proposed Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree unnecessary at the pres-
ent time.

4. With specific waiver provis-
ions, the new program would
make it less necessary to grant
special exemptions for students
involved in 3-2 plans. ROTC and
education.

students will have equal oppor-

Pop Music Views

I ACPi Columnist Jean-Paul
Richard surveys the pop music
scene f o r NORTHEASTERN
NEWS, Northeastern University,
Boston, and comes up with these
views:

Let's look at what happened
to "pop" music in the last few
months. Some changes have oc-
curred.

Rock and roll is still with us.
It may have lost a bit of Its pop-
ularity, but not enough to indi-
cate that it is on its way out as
some people have predicted. A
good beat still seems to be what
a lot of listeners want.

The last six months have seen
the rapid rise and the even more
rapid downfall of Calypso. The
Caribbean sound was the rage
for a while, but it has now faded
out of the picture almost com-
pletely . . .

The lack of enough authentic
material and the poor job of
imitation probably cut the
calypso craze short more than
anything else. When the demand
for calypso tunes arose, the mar-
ket was flooded with poor imi-
tations.

Calypso may be going out. but
Hawaiian music seems to be on
the way in. At present there are
several songs with sounds from
the islands which are rapidly
gaining popularity . ,

The latest and most welcome
addition to the music scene are
the "comeback" songs. These old
standards have been freshened

College Admissions
Requirein^Jits Examined

The Admis:;ons Officers and
Registrars for the fifteen state-
supported colleges and universi-
ties have just completed a two-
day conference in Atlanta. The
purpose of the meeting was to
consider how students would be
selected, as the number of appli-
cants for college grow in the
next decade. The group met
jointly with representatives of
the public schools, the State De-
partment of Education, and the
College Entrance Examination
Board

Last year, the College Board
Scholastic Aptitude Test, part of
a nation-wide testing program
for college admission, was re-
quired for all entering students
in state colleges and universities.
Test scores were not used to se-
lect students, but were filed
away to determine later if stu-
dents with different test scores
make different grades.

The comparison of scores vers-
us grades will be made separate-
ly for each of the 15 colleges in
the System, Dr J, A. Davis, Di-
rector of Testing for the Board
of Regents of the University
System, stated: "It is quite like-
ly that tests which predict
grades accurately in an institu-
tion may not work for a second
college."

The Admissions officials also
made plans for testing the value
of other information about the
applicant for use in selection of
freshmen It has already been
noted that applicants with good
high school records and high
test scores do better than appli-
cants with the same test score
but with poor high school rec-
ord.

The group felt that only act-
ual experience would show how
much weight can be put on the
high school transcript, princi-
pal's recommendations, and oth-
er devices used in selecting stu-
dents. "Only when this informa-

The Rudt^ Awakening

By J. Campbell, Jr.

Frequently in life an individual chooses to follow a path which
can only lead to self-annihilation. Despite the pleas and advice of
-those who are able to judge that the path he has chosen is the
wrong one, he oftentimes continues to walk down the path to self-
destruction, A nation being composed of but an aggregation of indi-
viduals with with a common language and other identifying char-
acteristics is subject to the same pitfalls as the individual.

However salvation often comes to the individual in tlu- guise of
an unfavorable contingency which awakens the individual, enabling
him to see that he has been traveling down the wrong path. Then
he is able to retrace his steps until he reaches the path which leads
to the full and proper utilization of his creative abilities thereby
enriching and making more meaningful his own life and the lives
of others.

Nations are often saved from destruction by the same process.
An ominous event which portends grave consequences for the
ultimate welfare of the nation often pinpoints long neglected ills
that have bee nallowed to exist despite the caustic and vociferous
cries of an unheeded few.

The full consequences of Sputniks I and n upon American
customs and institutions cannot at this time be fully appraised.
But the impact of the Sputniks has already focused attention on
the American educational system and on the country's traditional
attitude towards her intellectuals.

For years a small minority has been vigorously criticizing our
schools and colleges for their failure to maintain rigid academic
standards. The diluted curriculums. the distortions of Dewey's
pragmatism, and a host of other ills, were in their words, producing
a mass of uneducated individuals, totally unable to think.

In vain were their cries Then along came the Sputniks. Now
one hears a vast concerted cry to tighten up. for the survival of the
country may depend on the caliber of the thinkers that must be
produced to meet the challenge with which we are now confronted,

The intellectual (one not interested in what Detroit is cooking
up for Che next year), has always found America to be hostile and
cold. Viewed with suspicion and distrust, the intellectual in America
has become an outsider, an alien. With the emphasis on practicality,
thinking rapidly became un-fashionable, and the thinker became
a liability one unable to act. The intellectuals were made the
laughing stock of America by humorists and cartoonists. Scientists
and professors were caricatured to the extent that two well-known
stereotyped figures have emerged, to wit. the mad scientist and
the absent-minded professor.

Since the advent of the Sputniks, there have been some favor-
able signs that perhaps the old traditional antipathy towards egg-
heads is being lessened. It is indeed hoped that such signs are not
temporary, but will continue to grow until the intellectual is as
firmly entrenched in American society as hotdogs and football

Fear: Man's (Commonest Enemy

By H V. Nevels

The most ordinary thing for any human being to have wrong
with him, next to the common cold, is some kind of morbid fear.
Just about everybody has one or more of these neuroses and he
knows he has it; he knows it's utterly foolish and makes him ridi-
culous; he feels completely baffled as to how to cope with the
thing.

We're not going to discuss the ordinary fears that most of us
have at one time or other, usually in childhood. Such fears as fear
of the dark, of strange animals, of heights, of loud noises these are
not morbid fears, because most of us get rid of them in the process
of growing up. Of course, if we keep them and nurse them along
and suffer with them when we are adults, they become morbid
fears, but that's another story.

No. we're talking about the funny little eccentric fears that
just about everybody has. like a woman we read of once who could
walk into a lion's cage and never turned a hair, but an ordinary
little piece of fuzzy cotton wool would send her right off into a fit
of the the shakes. A psychologist found out what was the matter
with her: years before, she'd reached out In the dark when she was
half asleep and put her hand on something soft and fluffy and it
turned out to be a mouse. Then of course the psychologist had to go
back still further and find out why she was afraid of mice, but he
finally got her all straightened out

N'ow probably ycu aren't afraid of wool, but it's a lead-pipe
cinch you're afraid of something. These neurotic fears are legion;
one small dictionary lists seventy-six of them, all with fancy Greek
and Latin names. Claustrophobia is one of the most common fears
that's fear of being in enclosed places. A fine way to insure your
kids having that one when they grow up i.s to shut them up in a
dark closes as a punishment. Then there's agoraphobia, or fear of
wide-open spaces. You've heard about these people who never ven-

Presiclenl's Message

Evaluation Of
Excellence Needed

Recently our attention has
been called to the status of the
United States in the field of
scientific achievement. Many
Americans are trying to explain
how It happened that the Rus-
sians were able to launch satel-
lites ahead of the United States
Since scientific achievement de-
pends upon the quality and ex-
tent of education and training,
this shock and the resulting
confusion centered attention on
education.

In some instances it has been
said that loo few American col-
lege students are being educated
in the scientific fields. Others
have said that there is not only
a shortage of students but even
a greater shortage of teachers
who can direct the learning ac-
tivities. The shortage of teach-
ers has been attributed to mea-
ger salaries and low prestige of
the profession. Salaries and
monetary rewards can be in-
creased at a very rapid rate, but
the status of the teaching pro-
fession will move at a very much
slower rate.

It is possible that the system
of values possessed by many
Americans has not encouraged
those with superior abilities to
do their best. In many high
schools and colleges will be
found indications of low regard
for excellence in scholarship,
leadership, character, and cre-
ative ability. One needs only to
study the officers of student
groups classes, clubs, sororities,
fraternities, and other socie-
ties to discover that the indi-
viduals best qualified have not
been in many instances elected
to office

In too many organizations the
nominations and elections go to
individuals who are known to be
weak in scholarship, character,
integrity, vision, and leadership.
Students get into the habit of
thinking that everyone is equal-
ly qualified for all positions. In-
dividuals vary widely in abilities
and achievement at all levels of
growth. Recognition and utiliza-
tion of the best in the group for
the purpose to be served provide
for progress and growth. This
disregard for excellence in mind,
bosly, and personality favors the
development of cultural medioc-
rity. A society which does not
make the best use of its gifted
individuals will find itself losing
status and limiting progress.

It is reasonable to suppose
that the values developed in
high school and college will con-
tinue to be the values of men
and women after they have left
the campus. It is likely that
shortages which have appeared
in the scientific field may well
appear in the humanities and
the social sciences. Leadership in
all fields develops best and con-
tributes most when it operates
in a medium that encourages
progress.

Class groups, clubs, societies,
and fraternities which make use
of the talented and the gifted
make a distinct contribution to
the perpetuation of able leader-
ship. Every individual is able to
evaluate the group or groups in
which he holds membership in
terms of the extent to whith
proper values are placed upon
the quality of excellence in indi-
viduals. A study made by a com-
mittee might reveal what the
students think of excellence as
it is exhibited in the various
organizations.

The Student Council Speaks

By Robert Tindal

Now that homecoming is over and the excitement generated by
it has left, we find the college atmosphere returning once more to
the apathetic state. During the homecoming celebration all activitie
were attended by the students very religiously. How grand it would
be if all activities here at the college were attended with equal vigor

Possibly the lack of school spirit exhibited by the students i.'.
due to dissatisfaction by them with certain problems that confront
them- If so the Student Council would like very much to know
about these dissatisfactions and will endeavor to eradicate them
We realize that there are problems confronting the students of oui
college and all of the problems have answers and can be corrected
where necessary. Each student has the responsibility to himself and
to the school to search relentlessly for the answers and to work
unceasingly for the correction of those that need correcting. Your
Student Council is very much aware of the dissatisfaction of thf
student body with certain practices and procedures here at the
College. We are aware also that some of these dissatisfactions ar^
valid and some are invalid- We are concerned with both for variou,-
reasons but most of all because we are here to serve you, but tht
hands of the Council are tied unless the student body and the stu-
dents as individuals voice their grievances and support your Council
whole heartedly in its effort to relieve these situations that arc
causing the dissatisfaction.

The Council wishes to serve you but it cannot if you make youi
criticism out on the campus and make your grievances only to you:
friends and form small cliques among yourselves and then proceec
to work against the school rather than for it, to the detriment oi
the school and yourself We are interested and will seek for thi
things right and deserving for you as mature adults But if you a
others before you have done persist in divorcing yourself from th(
issues that you are opposed to. then there is nothing that we can d(
to relieve the situation.

If you have a legitimate problem the only mature way to seek ar
answer is to bring the problem to the attention of your Counci'
representative or any member of the Council, supplying him wit!
the necessary information and giving him evidence to support you
contention. Remember no one knows your problems if you keei
them to yourself and therefore nothing can be done about them.

We. the Council, believe that everyone affiliated with the coUegi
is interested in you and your welfare. It has been said by person
here that our students just don't want anything. We don't believi
this and want you to prove this statement is false.

The Periscope

By Robert Tindal

The periscope shifted swiftly
from the troubled continents of
Africa and Europe to the U, S,
upon hearing of sudden illness
of President Eisenhower, suffer-
ing from what was initially diag-
nosed as a chill and finally as a
light stroke The president's
stroke caused many and varied
renercus'^ions thrmighniit tbp
world; echoes from the man on
the street in England that he
should return to his Gettysburg
from to fast drops on the stock
market on Wall Street, Sputnik
was even removed from the
headlines. No one can agree as
to the total effect this latest ill-
ness of the President, the third
in two years, will have on him
but his doctors and that is it
will leave no lasting impair-
ments of his faculties.

Now back to Africa and Eu-
rope where the situations gov-
erning the peace of the world
are magnified in the struggle of
the West to contain communism
within its present curtain.

The Periscope finds the com-
petent Dag Hammarskjold in
Ammon attempting to calm the
latest uprising between Israel
and the Arabs which has flared
up over charges by Israel of bor-
der incidents. Also chief among

the agenda of items to be di^
cussed is the effectiveness c
the UN truce machinery and th
dispute over Israel convoys t
Mount Seopus and Israeli en
clave held by her inside Jorda
territory.

Moving the Periscope comes t
Spain, where the Spanish ar
icpurtcd iiiapping tile iemiiani-'
of rebel Moroccan troops wh
attacked the Spanish Garrisc
at Ifni. There is very little \ >
report from Ifni because th
Spaniards have cast a blackoi t
on all news from this small Gai-
rison.

The Periscope observes, as :
sails back to America a rare oc
currence The solicitation of th
Democratic candidate for presi
dent in the last election Mr, Ad
lai E, Stevenson as a foreig'.
policy consultant. Mr. Stevenso
was originally scheduled to at-
company the President an dad
vise him at the Paris conferenc
of NATO, to be held this montl.
but due to the illness of th'
President, who may send Mi
Nixon, the Vice President, in hi
place. Some Republicans are re-
luctant to send Mr. Stevenson
with Mr. Nixon for political rea-
sons.

Ahead For College

In fashion with dress. Having
your hair done today? Why not
get a new look a new hair style

The soft uncurled look is pop-
ular with the college set every-
where.

The suggested hair style of the
month:

A subtle delicate arrangement
with a charmingly feminine ap-
pearance. The hair is parted low
on one side and the sides are
quite long four inches but
curled and combed wide to seem
shorter. The back in beautiful,
a series of waves swirled. This is
a wonderful way for black hair
to look . The cut planned to
make it catch the light, This is
ihe contour, a great look for
fashions.

This season'sricher and hand-
somer tweeds are handled with
a new unfitted look.

The young college lady has
seevral ways she likes to dress
for her day on the campus. They
are:

Coordinated separates which
are still stepping strong this sea-
son. Suggested styles and colors
are wool-and-full blend pull over
with a V neck outlined in the
giant tweed of the gored hip-
pocketed skirt- The second co-
ordinated separate is Tomato
red in simple lines. The first
separate in Gray tweed with

ture more than a block or so from home. That's what they've got.
The average person who has agoraphobia just feels mildly un-
comfortable and doesn't know why, if he's out in a wide flat space

Related to tliese two fears are fear of being aloft in the air.
fear of tunnels and basements, fear of mountains, of the ocean, etc.
And you probably know somebody who just can't stay alone two
minutes. He had to be with somebody all the time, either he's rush-
ng from one engagement to another or friends come to see him,
and the minute they leave he's on the telephone trying to scare up
somebody else to spend an hour or so with. He has monophobia,
or fear of being alone. It's not that he's being sociable he just
can't stand being alone.

Then there's pantophobia, or fear of being in a crowd, and
\enphobia, which is fear of meeting strangers. There are morbid
fears of being in the company of men or women. There are fears
of being contaminated by dirt or germs, of catching some particular
disease; fear of certain colors, or fear of blood, of dogs or cats or
horses or snakes or spiders Some people are even afraid of sunilght
or cold wind or rain and of course thunder storms. There is the
fear of death, of water, of fire and of being poisoned.

But one fear that many people of this modern age have, and
especially college students, is the fear of not being able to succeed
in life. We as college students face this problem today because these
are hectic times and it seems to take more to succeed in life than
it user) to. We enter college with the conviction that this will help.
College to many students is what the psychologist is to an extreme
neurotic. It helps him to combat these fears.

But in the end it does one well to remember that he is not the
only one with fears And man's worst enemy is fear.

Basketball Facts

By Kmma Lou Jordon
As the football season comes
to a close the fans of Savannah
State and neighboring schools
and colleges are preparing
themselves for the opening of
the Basketball season.

Basketball in the United
States was invented in 1891 by
James Nalsmith. an instructor
at the Young's Men's Christian
Association College in Spring-
field, Massachusetts.

1 The game starts, when the
referee tosses the ball into the
air above the circle marked in
the center of the playing court
The two opposing centers jump
for the ball; each attempts to
tap it to a member of his own
team.

2 Each team has five men
one center, two guards and two
forwards.

3 The object of the game is
to throw the ball through the
basket the opposing team is de-
fending.

4 The ball may be advanced
by the following methods;

a. The ball can be thrown or
passed.

b. The ball can be dribbled or
bounced.

5 Each ball thrown through
the basket counts for two points,
this is called a field throw.

6 A second means of scoring
is the free throw for which one
point is given.

7 A basketball game (adults)
lasts forty minutes. It is usually
divided into two twenty minute
halves, which are sometimes
divided into four ten minute pe-
riods.

Concern Over Control

lACP) Similar concern about
the freedom of a responsible
student is reflected in Dave Ma-
ney's "View Point" column in
the AUBURN PLAINSMAN. Ala-
bama Polytechnic Institute, Au-
burn, Ala. Here he develops his
idea that "the morals of a stu-
dent are his own"

I've often wondered about the
set up of the university with re-
gard to their control of the pri-
vate lives of students. There
seems to be a tendency in many
states, including Alabama, for
the university to lessen theii in-
fluence on the extra-curricular
life of the student. If the church
school, which was once Auburn,
could be compared with the uni-
versity that is Auburn today, the
change would be quite evident.

At Auburn, however, the re-
linquishing of this control has
rolled to a halt. Many of the
faculty and administrative per-
sonnel here still cling to the be-
lief that it is the duty of the
university to not only train and
educate minds and bodies but
also to regulate and govern the
moral standards of the students.
This may be well and good. It
does seem never the less that
such control is carried to un-
needed extremes.

Is such extraneous control ac-
tually necessary? A person while
attending college is generally
considered an adult by society.
He is considered an adult capa-
ble of making his own decisions
regarding both his personal
morality and his status as a stu-
dent If as a student, he fails to
make the correct decision and
idils schoiasucaliy, t,ne universi-
ty has exerted a negative con-
trol in forcing him to make a
decision between success or fail-
ure as a student. The control of
the university thus has on a
student should be sufficient.

The morals of a student are
his own. They were formed
through parental and other in-
fluences many years before his
arrival at a university. His mor-
als may or may not be satisfac-
tory as judged. Why, though,
should it be the function of the
university to try to govern the
morality of the students? Adults
everywhere find the laws of the
land adequate for their private
lives.

Were this a church school.
with its restricted viewpoints in
many matters, the very beliefs
upon which such a school would
be founded would demand that
there be a method for the form-
ing and shaping of morals at the
college level. But this is not a
church school Nor is it some
sect to form the new moral
norms of society. This is a state
university, existing at the plea-
sure of the state, supported by
the state, and attended by stu-
dents of all religions, beliefs, and
morals. Auburn is an institution
to provide a center of knowledge
where the eligible citizen may
continue to learn.

Vleldriu;n Auditorium. January 22. 1958. Seven students were in-

honor students and tutors of the college.

"The Negro Scholar a Con-

Bond's speech. He pointed out
that all men who wouidj be
scholars are a continuum. A re-

^.hat most Negro educators' lore-

Making a comparison with
Russia, he brought out the fact
:hat all thirty-two who helped
with Russian satellites, finished
school before the Revolution-
Concluding his speech, Dr, Bond
said, Character, ambition, faith
m learning, and thoroughness
are the aspects of a scholar.
These are great aspects of a
continuum."

Crazy Collv^e Customs

I ACP I Fun and games on
campus get some editorial con-
sideration. This from the Fresno,
Fal.. junior college "Rampage":

The youth of today is probably
the group which is most heavily
attacked by public criticism and
censure. The younger college
generation is not excluded from
this category.

During the 1920's and 30's col-
lege campuses in this country
saw widespread outbreaks of
radical behavior. Communist
groups were springing up on va-
rious campuses along with the
soapbox speakers who voiced
their radical opinions. Also,
bathtub gin parties and swallow-
ing goldfish were the rage in
college life.

Today's college student is far
less apt to express himself or
liis inner turmoils through such
unconventional methods as
those practiced 20 and 30 years
ago.

While it may be good that the
college student of today has be-
come far less explosive in his
mannerisms, the aura of con-
formity he has assumed may be
considered lethal.

This situation may be consid-
ered far more dangerous than a
riotous student outbreak over
the outcome of a football game.

With today's stress on social
acceptance and security many
students have been rendered
either fearful or incapable of
formulating opinions and ideas
of their own.

Religious Emphasis Week

During the five months since the

Students have expressed
themselves on subjects ranging
from intercollegiate athletics to
academic freedom, from federal
scholarships to the problems of
commuting students. While most
of the resolutions reflect stu-

face daily on the campus, such
as student health, relations with

REACTIONS OF ALPHA
KAPPA MU CANDIDATES

By M. B. Jones

Student reactions prompted by the induction ceremony of Alpha
Kappa Mu. Thursday, November 23, at Savannah State College
were expressed in informal interviews with three students: Willie
Hamilton, a science major, Betty Cumbess, an elementary education
major, and Margaret Bing, a business major. Dr. E. K, Williams,
advisor of AKM, disclosed information regarding the tutorial system
of Savannah State.

President tontjralulales John Stiles following a special assembly
jpening the 1958 Polio Drive. Standing left to right are: Robert
Tindal, Yvtmne Williams. John Stiles, chairman of the colored
division for the Chatham County March of Dimes, Dorothy Davis,
Miss Savannah State, Curl Roberts, and President W. K. Payne.

Willie Hamilton stated that he
felt proud to become a member
of the honor society, but he in-
.sisted. "the general reaction is
difficult to explain". He said
that he had been inspired by
teachers and students and he
held several places open for his
classmates to follow.

Betty Cumbess said. "I saw
the induction ceremony in the
spring quarter of 1957. and I
felt that I would never become
a member of a group like this."
Betty Cumbess was notified of
her eligibility by Dr E, K. Wil-
liams. She aUso stated that the
speech by Dr, Bond, guest speak-
er at the induction ceremony,
was meant to inspire.

Margaret Bing, a business
education major, expressed her
reactions in one word "proud."
Margaret commented that the
two selections from the choir

at the induction ceremony were
beautifully sung.

A short interview with Dr.
E. K. Williams, the advisor to
Alpha Kappa Mu, revealed that
the tutorial system at Savannah
State College, began in 1954-55
This system is primarily under
the direction of Alpha Nu chap-
ter. Each department head as-
sists in planning the program
and suggests students who are
suited to tutor for each depart-
ment. Dr. Williams stated.

According to Dr. Williams, the
purpose of the tutorial system
is to stimulate scholarship, to
decrease the number of students
failing and to promote better
relationship between teachers
and students.

Dr, Williams further said tu-
tors have accomplishd much
with many students.

Del>atiiij>; Club
Organized During
Winter Quarter

The Savannah State College
Debating Club was organized
during the month of January
under the advisorship of B. E,
Black, assistant professor of so-
cial science and H, M, Jason,
associate professor of languages
and literature. With the ever-
increasing problems that con-
front American societies today,
many students were prompt to
participate In the organization
of the club.

The club has as its three-fold
purpose: U) to give the students
an opportunity to develop their
ability as public speakers; i2) to
give the students an opportunity
to discuss questions of current
interest; and i3) to give the stu-
dents an opportunity to match
their intellectual powers with
students of other institutions.

With these purposes in mind
it is hoped that the students will
become more interested in public
and national affairs which will
enable them to deal with prob-
lems in this society.

At present the debate question
being studied is: "Be it resolved
that the requirement of mem-
bership in a labor organization
as a condition of employment
should be illegal."

The following persons were
elected to office: President,
Grover Thornton ; Vice Presi-
dent, Eugene J. Johnson; Secre-
tary, Yvonne Williams; Assistant
Secretary. Kay Frances Strip-
ling; Publicity Director, Daniel
Washington ; Assistants to the
Publicity Director, Thurnell
Johnson, Benjamin Harris.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

February, 1958

Our Self (entered Stittlents

Reprinted from National Student News
"The great majority of students appear unabashedly self-
centered and aspire for material gratification for themselves and
their families. They intend to look out for themselves first and
expect others to do likewise." This indictment of United States
student attitudes summaries the findings of Professor Philip Jacob's
current study. Changing Values in College,

Community awareness, social consciousness, operational moral
standards, and political responsibility are notable more by their
absence tlian their presence. Uncritical acceptance of majority
positions or goals totally divorced from any feeling of personal
commitment for their support or achievement and a semi-fatalistic
writing off of such commitment as useless characterizes many if
not most campuses and students.

Even in terms of their own campuses students show little genu-
ine concern for anything otlier than their own immediate welfare-
The Student Activities Reserch study not only documented the
exceptional nature of meaningful student government activity but
also revealed that student participation in freshman orientation,
leadership training, campus charity drives and similar services to
fellow students are looked upon with more favour by administrators
than by "student leaders."' While setting forth the existence of out-
standing exceptions to the SARS generalizations. The Students'
Role in College Policy Making and Administration equally demon-
strates the scarcity of real achievement and the wide gap between
it and the mediocrity typical of the vast majority of campuses.

We cannot afford to remain "unabashedly self-centered" our-
selves nor to view the prevalence of such an attitude among our
fellow students with complacency or mild concern. "Student apathy"
as a phrase may be a worn joke but student apathy as a state of
mind is an appalling reality.

Adapting education to meet the increasing and changing de-
mands of modern technology while still serving the individual's
desire for self-development; meeting the problems of inadequate
funds, facilities, and faculties; creating the public awareness and
understanding vital to a sound educational system these are our
responsibilities today as students as well as tomorrow as graduates.
'The strength of a democracy lies in its grass roots leadership."
In this statement by former Economic Cooperation Administrator
Professor Milton Gatz lies the explanation both of the importance
and the urgency of broader development of political awareness,
community consciousness, and a feeUng of commitment to serve
local voluntary and civic groups. The United States will not act
wisely to meet the opportunities and obstacles confronting her in
the areas of human rights, civil liberties, equality of opportunity,
individual value, and intergroup relations both nationally and
internationally unless we make it our business to consider these
problems and to help in providing the local level leadership that
will arouse constructive consideration and comment leading to a
grass roots demand for new and considered action based on criteria
more fundamental than the line of least resistance or lowest dollar
costs.

The Revival of Schoolism

By Harry V. Nevels

Patriotism has always been the mark of a democratic country
and here in America we treasure our national pride, Anything that's
American has the whole of the United States behind it. Americans
are thought by Europeans to be egoists.

We Americans are proud of ourselves and our heritage. This
spirit of patriotism is evident in every phase of our lives. This
spirit is a part of America itself.

At Savannah State College, we too have that spirit of patriotism
for our country, and we once had pride for our school. But for
some reason or other we have lost some of that school pride that
we once had Some people call it lack of school spirit but we say
it is lack of SCHOOLISM. (Schoolism means love of school, and
devotion to the welfare of one's school i. This spirit should and must
be revived. And this can only be accomplished when we as students
are aware of the needs of our school. We should not wait for the
president of our institution to tell us about the needs of Savannah
State; we should have seen what was needed long ago.

Perhaps in looking for something to do we cannot see what's
to be done. Here are some things that would greatly improve our
campus.

Each organization could take it upon itself to keep our campus
free of litter by volunteering to keep the campus clean one week
at a time. During this week this organization could pick up paper.
post non-litter signs and anything else that would make students
try to keep the campus clean.

There is the old college park that could be revived by planting
flowers and cleaning the grounds and repairing the dock.

There is the old fish pond that could be cleaned out and used
as a shrine for some organization.

And there is the liberty bell, though it is very seldom used,
that could be cleaned out and flowers could be planted around it
to make it more attractive. And perhaps in the near future it will
be used.

These are a few of the many things that could be fixed up
around our campus. Not only would the repairing of these few
things on our campus make it more beautiful but it would also
revive that old Schoolism that has been lost for so long. So let's
make the next four weeks "The Revival of Schoolism" month.

letim to tbi> Editor

Self-centeredness is no novelty on the American campus. When

the United States National Student Association's 1947 Constitutional
Convention called for academic freedom, better educational stand-
ards, equal educational opportunity for all intellectually qualified
students, and recognition of student responsibility to campus, com-
munity, nation, and God it spoke for U. S. student desires but not
for anything a majority were willing to work or sacrifice to bring
about.

The Association now has a decade of experience in trying to
secure greater commitment and more realistic programming directed
toward the realization of these goals. The results can best be
described as encouraging but inadequate. January. 1958. finds on
going programs, developed channels of communication, idealistic
plans for Implementation in a new year. Whether they will be
accomplishd or not depends more on you than on us.

We can and have developed programming kits and working
papers to provide a basis for and to assist campus efforts to imple-
ment the report of President Eisenhower's Committee on Education
Beyond the High School. Only you can hold the discussions and
plan the efforts necessary to help evaluate curricula and teaching
methods, raise faculty salaries and eliminate unnecessary clerical
loads, arouse public interest in and support for higher education,
advance student responsibility for self-learning and preserve indi-
viduality on expanding campuses.

The International Commission can report on the threat to
academic freedom and human dignity in South African education^
it is your protests which hearten those who oppose these measures
the gives and government grounds for pause. At home, the impetus
for seminars to consider the problems of desegregation on campus
or small conferences to evaluate intergroup relations and the
selection of social group members on the basis of personal worth
and character must come from the campu.s perhaps in response
to experiences and material the Association can provide but created
and run by those most directly effected.

Our horizon must expand beyond the campus level whether
local, regional, national or international to include the entire scope
of higher education as a minimum. We passed a series of resolutions
at the lOth Congress last Augst outlining a definite program of
assistance to education for the Association to support by legislative
activity and publicity. The National Executive Committee and Stafi
are fulfilling the mandates, but how effective this will be depends
largely on whether individual campuses contact their legislators
on the same measures.

Unfortunately, rising enrollments, racial and religious prejudice,
curricular inadequacies, proposals for educational legislation, and
the confusion of next year's freshmen as to why they came to
college and what they should seek will not wait can we?

Dear Sir;

I have written a spiritual let-
ter with all sincerity, which you

year, before the beginning of a
new journey. At such a time,
when I am confused, discour-
aged, and uncertain from passed
days, I can find in Your gift a
guiding light.

I must not think for a selfish
moment, that this wonderful
gift was given to me alone, foi
the gift was a Savior, Jesu.'-
Christ who will bring peace and
eternal life to all who will accept
Him

I pray that the whole work;
will graciously receive Thy gift
and give thanks unto Thee.

Dear Mr. Editor:

I would like to call your atten-
tion to the fact that our studen
newspaper (The Tiger's Roar
has not been carrying all tht
news about our school organiza-
tions and extra-curricular activi-
ties here at Savannah State Col-
lege: therefore, we the student:
are very much disturbed.

We enjoy very much reading
news about other schools bu'
would be very happy if more oj
our own news were published ir
Older to give each individual ar
opportunity to know what is go-
ing on within the walls of oui
college and its organizations st
that the students in years tt
come may be able to get a broad
picture of our college life after
we are gone.

Please look into this mattei
and let us make our paper one
of the best ever published at
Savannah State College.

Yours truly,

A Reiuliiij; List For

Carmichael. Omer. Louisville
Story. This work describes the
development of successful inte-
gration in the public schools of
Louisville, Kentucky. The auth-
ors are a school superintendent
and an associate of the Louis-
ville Courier-Journal. It Is of
enormous value to communities
that have not yet complied with
the Supreme Court decisions,
and to all persons interested in
social justice.

Edward Franklin Frazler.
Black Bourgeoisie. A study of the
rise 01 the Negro middle class in
the United States, Part I deals
with the economic and social
status of the Negro middle class,
its education, power, political
orientation and its efforts to
break with the past tradition.
Part II deals with the "world of
make-believe" which tlie Negro
middle-class has created In or-
der to compensate for their lack
of identification with either the
Negro masses or the whites. This
is an excellent study of Negro
"society" and other values. It
should be widely read for what
it says about Negroes as well as
for it.s implications for otlier mi-
nority groups anywhere,

John B. Martin Deep South
Says Never. This book attempts
to answer questions relative to
who leads the resistance to inte-
gration of education. What is
the base of the support? Wliat is
the Southern Way of Life which
it seeks to defend? This compact
work is very clearly and drama-
tically written,

Hugh Price. The Negro and
Southern Politics. There has
been surprisingly little research
done on the actual voting be-
havior of Southern Negroes since
the most important of the legal
barriers to their voting has fall-
en. This study attempts to fill
this void. In spite of the fact
that this is a case study of only
one state, many of the observa-
tions and conclusions the autlior
has made about voting behavior
of Negroes in Florida will be
found applicable to the voting
behavior of Negroes in other
Southern states.

Thomas Woofter. Southern
Race Progress. Written by a
Southerner, this is a study on
racial harmony on the southern
United States. He has developed
a fast moving survey of encour-
aging trends in the South. He
lectures without haranguing, he
argues without rancor. His in-
formation is in large part new
His points are well documented
by eyewitness detail. His area of
survey covers all of Dixie.

Richard Wright. White Man.
Listen: This book originated in
a series of lectures delivered in
Europe during the years 1950-
1956- The book treats the psy-
chological reactions of the col-
ored people to the white oppress-
ors, the literature of the Negro
as evidence of his thesis; tradi-
tion as it has been affected by
industrialization; and the birth
of Ghana on the African Gold
Coast. This is an indignant
book, but it deserves to be read
with utmost seriousness, for the
attitude it expresses has an in-
trinsic importance in our times.

BOOK REVIEWS

By Gloria Byrd

Storm Over Savannah
Reviewed by Yvonne O. Hooks

Lawrence, Alexander A.. Storm
Over Savannah, Athens: The
University of Georgia Press.
1951.

Author Lawrence took the ma-
terial for his book from the fol-
lowing accredited sources: The
Archives National and the rec-
ords in the library of Service
Hydrographlque de la Marine in
Parts (where were found many
naval records, letters and or-
ders). There too was found one
of Count d'Estaings' accounts.
"Observations" which he wrote
aboard the Languedoc after the
Siege Among other sources there
are: The Georgia Historical So-
ciety, The Historical Society of
Pennsylvania, New York Histori-
cal Society, Weems' Life of Gen-
eral Frances Marion.

Alexander Lawrence feels that
much attention has been given
the renowned Frenchmen Ro-
chambeau and La Fayette in the
recording of the French Alliance
with the Americans in the Revo-
lutionary War, and more speci-
fically in the victory of the bat-
tle of Yorktown, In the author's
opinion little or no deserved at-
tention has been afforded that
host of colorful Frenchmen who
aided the Americans in 1779 at
the equally important siege of
Savannah.

By way of this novel. Lawrence
attempts a corrective in which
Charles-Henri, Comte d'Estaing
and his glittering galaxy of sol-
diers and sailors of I'Ancien Re-
gime are brought before the
readers" eyes to receive their
proper share of glory

As has been implied, the book,
or its theme, is concerned with
the colorful and forteful per-
sonality of the Count who in-
fluenced all activities at Savan-
nah.

The sighting of his mighty
fleet off Tybee Island sent quiet,
English-occupied Savannah into
a chaotic whirl that had not de-
creased when the Count disem-
barked some 13 miles below Sa-
vannah at Beaulieu.

To this noble fleet tlie con-
fused city of Savannah, with
half its British army away,
seemed vulnerable. Within a
short time d'Estaing had battled
up leader of British forces, Gen-
eral Prevosts' reinforcements in
Beaufort, With nothing to do
but attack the British and drive
them from their only other co-
lonial foothold (the other was
New York), proud d'Estaing pro-
crastinated long enough for
Prevosts' reinforcements to clev-
erly reach Savannah and com-
mence to slaughter the com-
bined Franco-America forces on
October 9, 1779.

The tone of the novel is in
many places dull. The author,
instead of vividly pointing up
the important battle and minor
skirmishes, ploughs the reader
into facts and figures which are
necessary but not subordinated

In other places, however, the
tone is lightened by the author's
use of such vivid descriptions as:

"the ax of the forest settler

Savannah Becomes A ,Winter
Wonderland With One-Inch of Snow

By Kay Frances Stripling

A one-inch blanket of snow turned the City of Savannah into
a winter wonderland on February 13. The first snowfall since 1899
was ushered in by a skidding mercury that plummeted to 13 degrees.

The only thing hot on this day was the temper of the residents
as they struggled with broken water lines, frozen autos. and cold feet.

Sleet and ice added to the chilly phenomenon. Ice adorned the
yards in breathtakingly beautiful configurations as a result of fau-
cets and sprays left open the night before the "Great Snow."

Officially, the Weather Bureau measured the snow at one inch.
But there was enough to build snowmen and roll snowballs in many
parts of the city, including the campus.

The snow is reported to have begun falling around 2 a. m., and
those who were fortunate enough to have seen it falling said that
the flurry was beautiful.

Shouts of delight were heard as usually sleepy-headed young-
sters discovered the winter wonderland filled with fluffy white
frosting on trees, houses, and lawns. Telephones everywhere began
ringing bright and early, with questions to friends such as "Am I
seeing things?"; to the Weather Bureau. "How long has it been
since we had a similar snow?"

The school officials were very sympathetic with the students
who preferred to remain at home and build snowmen, but they
scheduled no holiday and could find no reasons for legimately clos-
ing the schools.

Enthusiasts, both young and not so young, really had a fling in
the snow. Snowmen were fashioned, snowball fights staged, and
even a few sleds were unearthed from storage, dusted off and taken
outside for rides.

The beauty of our campus was enhanced by the blanket of snow
on the mess-hung trees. There was no problem in getting the stu-
dents out of the dormitory, and many missed breakfast to enjoy the
snow. Camera bugs were at work, too. Snaps were taken of snow-
men and their builders, and believe it or not, one or two faculty
members were caught in the rush.

College Playhouse Presents
'Pride And Prejudice'

The play dealt with the lives
of an unsophisticated English
family of moderate means. The
action revolved around the Ben-
net family with their five daugh-
ters : Lydia, played by Purcell
Grant; Jane, Helen Williams;
Catherine, Jane Morgan; Mary.
Pearlie Mae Haynes, and Eliza-
beth. Kay Frances Stripling

The conflict occurs when Mrs,
Bennet. played by Dorothy Davis,
tries to marry each of her
daughters, who have little for-
tune, to wealthy young men. Mr,
Bennet, played by Willie Hamil-
ton, was the quiet, sedate father
who sat back quite contentedly.

The household regained some
of its calm when two of the girls
finally become engaged and one
is married.

The College Playhouse is un-
der the direction of John B.
Clemmons, chairman of the De-
partment of Mathematics and
Physics.

The cast also included Al-
phonso Arnold, senior chemistry
major, who played Hill; Yvonne
O, Hooks, junior English major,
who portrayed Lady Lucas; Lillie

A. Powell, senior business educa-
tion major, as Charlotte; Daniel

"Block ihe Look" on TID

By Theodore Ware

TID stands for "Tetanus Im-
munization Day". This is the
day when the students of this
institution wil Ibe given the first
of two Tetanus shots. These
immunizations are for the pre-
vention of Lockjaw.

The "Total School Health Pro-
gram class decided to lead the
fight on Lockjaw by instigating
this project. Miss Janie Baker.
of this class, gave a tentative
plan for this project. They are:

1. Contact all campus or-
ganizations.

2. Campaign in the com-
munity with the aid of the
Campus Community Organ-
ization.

:i. Make identification labels
for immunized persons and
committee.

4. Get full support of the
faculty and staff,

5. Publicize project by
means of radio, television, bul-
letin boards and newspapers.

Miss Baker, chairman of the
project said, "the object of the
project is to get as many of the
students and other interested
persons to take the first shot
during the second week in
March, with the second being
given in April." She also said
that she hoped to have an as-
sembly program before that time
with Dr. McDew as the speaker.

Grover Thornton, senior social
science major, has been named
general chairman of the Reli-
gious Emphasis Week Commit-
tee, The Reverend Andrew J.
Hargrett, college minister, an-
nounced that "World Peace
Through Christianity" is the
theme for the week, March 2-8.

Thornton commented on his
appointment thus: "I've always
liked to do church and commun-
ity work."

According to Thornton, the
various committees and tlielr

To Columliia Press Conference

Wilton C- Scott, Director of Public Relations, wilt serve as con-

New York, March 13-15.

__^ ^ Mr. Scott might be called the

'spark plug" of the college in
that he has responsibility and
activity in areas that affect al-
most every phase of the institu-
tional set-up.

In a recent press conference,
Mr, Scott said that the areas of
public relations at Savannah
State College include publicity,
via newspaper, radio, television,
and personal appearances; pub-

"All of these areas are equal;
there are no firsts," Mr. Scott

Mr. Scott advises students who
are interested in the field of
public relations to secure a good
background in the social sciences
and in English. He indicated
that interest in the field is im-

S.S.C. The Inadequate

THE TIGER'S ROAR

March. 195;

Bv Kenneth B. Alexander

Students, do you think you are
getting a proper education? If
your answer to this question is
no, then what are you going to
do about it? Are you going to
continue to merely debate among
yourselves about the conditions
at Savannah State College and
not even attempt to do anything
about them? If we continue to
act satisfied with the facilities
here, then nothing will be done
to better the condition of our
school. It is our school I assure
you and we the students should
see to it that our sciiool is
equipped for the essential in-
struction we need as young men
and women In a highly technical
world.

Action is the world. Instead
of idle talk we should embark

upon finding a solution to this
problem Physical education ma-
jors, business majors, science
majors, do you have the proper
facilities to work with? If you
do that's fine but if you don't,
are you going to let yourself be
crippled for the future? We
must take action to bring about
a reconstruction period at our
school and only you and I can
bring about this movement.

The Student Council is our
channel to the administrators of
this institution. I sincerely hope

SPEED _ Several SS.C. stu-
dents have found out that the
policewoman who patrols Powell
Laboratory School isn't there for
her health. It was there that
several traffic tickets have been
given for reckless driving on that
road.

this article won't offend anyone,
but I am inclined to believe that
there is a slight bit of inade-
quacy within our Student Coun-
cil or it may be that we are
reluctant to take a firm stand
for finer and better facilities. If
there is some reluctance, I can't
seem to think of any reason for
it. There will be no retribution
for expressing your views on the
adequacy of this college. Even
if there is some form of retribu-
tion, how and to what extent
could it be enacted? What kind
of institution could this be. that
it would prevent students from
speaking openly on matters such
as the ones that confront us at
present?

I will admit that we have a
very attractive campus, and I
think we have a very qualified
faculty, but what good is a quali-
fied faculty when the institu-
tion does not have the essential
equipment with which to give
proper instruction. Students,
believe me. if we are to alter
the situation we must take a
firm stand and demand the im-
portant equipment we need. I
am not saying that we should be
belligerent about this matter; we
have proper representation from
our respective classes to the
Student Council; we should work
through the Student Council to
solve the problem that confronts
us. After all the Student Coun-
cil is mainly concerned with
solving or trying to solve student
problems. Just in case you are
not aware of the present situa-
tion. I hope this article awakens
you.

Students must act to make
S.S.C. the college it should be.
We have everything but the fa-
cilities. With working facilities
Savannah State College will sure-
ly be recognized by the nation
as one of the finer institutions
of higher learning.

THE PERISCOPE

By Robt. Tindal

The Periscope shall be con-
cerned with primarily local and
national news. Emphasis has
been greatly motivated in the
improvement of our educational
system since the launching of
the satellites. At present, there
is legislation pending before
Congress which is of valuble
concern to students, parents, and
educators.

The Periscope would like to
give some information as to the
nature and concern of the pro-
posed bills.

The Eisenhower-Folsom Pro-
gram would provide 10,000
sciiolarships a year for expan-
sion of undergraduate study, to
be administered by the states;
average grant, $750; no restric-
tion on course of study. Also
grants for expansion of graduate
schools up to $125,000 a year
for an institution; a university
could elect an alternate grant of
$500 for each graduate fellow,
with a preference for those in-
terested in teaching in higher
education. This bill would also
provide $150 million for the
states to expand and improve
science and mathematical in-
struction in public secondary
schools.

The Periscope would like to
focus the recent violence in the
New York school system, which
many Southerners have attrib-
uted to racial integration in the
schools. A noted Southern news-
paperman went to New York to
study the situation and deter-
mine whether or not this was
the case. His finding: that al-
though racial integration exists
in New York, the violence was
caused by social and economic
conditions. Why were so many
Negroes involved in these cases
of violence? Because of the
economic and social conditions
under which they live, caused
by discrimination against them
as one of the minority groups in
the sprawling "metropolitan
melting pot,"

The expulsion of Minniejean
Brown from the Little Rock
School system comes as no sur-
prise The die-hard segregra-
tionists liave been bellowing loud
and long ever since she and the
other Negro students entered
Central High. Wonder how it
feels to defeat an innocent child
who strives only to attain what
our Constitution guarantees.
What is the meaning of Equality.
Freedom, and Democracy?

Is The Republican Party Responsible
For The (Current Ueeession?

By Ted Pollen

Recently the attention of every thinking American has been
directed to the state of our national budget and how it affects our
standards of living.

The Department of Labor has reported that approximately
5,000,000 persons are presently unemployed. This constitutes about
6'^ per cent of our population. Such a percentage of unemployment
can be quite alarming in our present economic structure, and has
created r. recession that is a bit more than "mild."

The big question that seems to be in everyone's mind is "Is the
Republican Party resporsible for the current recession?'

We must, first of all. examine the causes and nature of a reces-
sion. There are perhaps three major cycles through which a re-
cession might pass. The first cycle might be indicated by a period
of prosperity and rising prices, which is more prevalent today be-
cause of our extended practice of installment buying. The second
stage is the inevitable overproduction of goods and commodities
which are not immediately consumed by the public. Therefore, the
rumors of excess stocks and heavy losses spread a contagion of cau-
tion, doubt, and pessimism. Thus the crisis enters the third or
crisis stage; prices fall to a low level; a general liquidation occurs
on ihe stock market: and employers lower wages and discharge
workers.

This condition exists for a few months, and if unchecked, will
result in "depression."

The United States has undergone at least ten periods of depres-
sion or panic, several of which cannot be attributed to any political
regime, because during these periods, the political parties, proper,
did not exist.

No one can truthfully say that any particular party. Repub-
lican or Democrat, has ever created a recession through faulty leg-
islative acts. This, however, has been the accusation of the Demo-
crats in recent years, and they have used for example the admin-
istration of Herbert Hoover.

It is generally accepted when reference is made to the Demo-
cratic Party as the "war party," and the Republicans as the "de-
pression party." Now then, with some knowledge of economic cycles,
we must understand that wars create our greatest amount of eco-
nomic activity The public enjoys a sudden spurt of prosperity in
which a false standard of living is gratifyingly consumed.

It has been the misfortune of the Republican Party to be asso-
ciated with our most recent recessions, but isn't it also true that
the Democrats have always been closely related to the causes of re-
cessions.

We believe that each era of inflation, recession, and depression
is merely a product of our bipartisan government. As for this cur-
rent recession'' Heaven knows who is responsible!

!Sotes From the Editor

Dear Students;

Recently I wrote an editorial
concerning the state of our
campus. As of yet I have seen
only one organization attempt
to do anything about our
campus. Is this the way for a
college campus to react to situa-
tions on the campus? As a mat-
ter of fact I dare you to do some-
thing.

This is your paper! The news
that appears in tthis paper is
made by you. Before I took the
job of editor I was determined
to edit this paper for you (the
students of Savannah State Col-
lege) Last issue I received two
letters from students. This i.',
what I want. I want you tc
send comments, ideas and criti-
cisms concerning your news-
paper.

There is one thing you must
know: that whether you know ii
or not this is a newspaper and
though we are under the au-
spices of the College we are al-
lowed to print anything as long
as it is within the ethical code>
of the newspaper. This is a chal-
lenge to you. I dare you.
Sincerely yours.

THE EDITOR.

Dear Miss Moore:

Your spiritual letter (publish-
ed in the last issue i has proved
to the older generation that tht
modern generation has not losi
its spiritual values. It is what ]
consider a perfect example o
piety which is so necessary foi
our time. We need more of thi:
kind of thing.

Sincerely your,

THE EDITOR.

Dear Mr. Coverson:

Your letter has proven to u
that the students of Savannal
State College are interested ir
their newspaper. It is true tha
our paper does print news fron
other colleges, and in the pas'
o''ganizational news has beer:
limited.

But can this solely be attrib
uted to the staff of your news
paper? I say no, because you
newspaper has a small workin;
staff and cannot be expected ti
cover everything. If I'm no
mistaken every organization ha
a reporter. It is this reporter':
job to report the news. If thes(
persons liave been doing thei;
job, I am not aware of it. If .
get the news we will print it.

As you know this is your paper
The policy of this paper is tr

but not when students do nc

overall average of at least 80.
and make acceptable scores on
the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board tests. High school
transcripts must show 16 full
units including four of English
and 3':; of mathematics through
trigonometry and solid geometry.

Apprentices work full-time for
General Electric and are paid at
a beginning rate of $60 a week,
eventually making $80 a week.
They have Union College classes
at night. The program covers
four years during which two
years of college credit, for which
General Electric pays the tuition,
may be earned. Pull-time work
is continued during the summer
but classes are attended only
during the normal academic
year.

At the end of this program it
is possible to obtain a leave of
absence to continue work toward
a degree on a full-time basis or
continue working for the firm
and going to college at night.
There is a possibility of addi-
tional scholarship assistance
toward a degree but this is not
guaranteed.

Fifty young men are now par-
ticipating in this program.
Women are not eligible because
of a state law limiting their em-
ployment in jobs of this nature
until they reach the age of 21.
Applications are not limited to
students from the New York
State area. Among the current
apprentices are young men from
CaUfornia, Illinois, Oklahoma.
Texas and West Virginia.

Year of Chemise

This will be known as the
"Year of the Chemise" ( circa
19581 and Mr, Mort has taken it,
in all of its many and talented
variations, and adapted it to
show how completely and femi-
nine a silhouette it can be. After
seeing the latest renditions of
this new and wonderful theme
there should be no doubt, even
among the most stubborn who
thought they could never wear
this completely wearable fashion.

After all. as any owner of a
Mr. Mort Chemise will state,
loud and clear, "to wear one is
to love one." The eye, the male
eye in particular, has become
educated but not without the aid
of gentle tailoring, meticulous fit
and dramatic detail. These
points, thanks to Mr, Mort. have
made this collection one that's
appealing and exciting. Take
yours two piece, one piece, gently
blouson or starkly simple. Have
yours in silk, in wool, in crisp
cotton, in cotton tweed or cotton
knit.

For early morning until late at
night, dress or casual . . , what-
ever your desire in the way of a
chemise. Mr. Mort has the che-
mise for your figure. This whole
new group is spirited, young and
wearable and as always Mr.
Morfs fashion is the kind of
good fashion that becomes a way
of dressing . . . not the way of
a fad.

Square Dance
Replaces Asseinhly

By Mable McPherson
The faculty and student body
of Savannah State College had
many varied experiences on
Thursday, July 3, when a
"Square Dance" was held in
Wiley Gymnasium instead of the
usual assembly program. Mrs.
Ella Fisher, assistant professor
of Physical ducation, was the
director.

The two dances learned by the
student body were Pattie Cake
Poker and Heads and Sides.
First, instructions were given the
group without the music; sec-
ond, instructions wtre given
with the music; and finally the
group participated in the dance
without any assistance from the
director.

A number was given to each
student at the entrance of the
gymnasium, matching a number
of the opposite sex, which was
used as a ticket for a soda and
a hut dog.

TIGER'S ROAR PREVIEW

BOOK REVIEW

By Thurnell Johnson

Home Play for the Pre-School
Child. June Johnson. Harper and
Brothers Publishing Company.
New York. 1957.

The author's special qualifica-
tion for writing this book is from
the results of experience with
her own children. Her materials
came from a great deal of study-
ing and reading, public play-
ground classes, talking to other
mothers, and other nursery
teachers, back yard nursery
groups, and ideas from the chil-
dren themselves.

The author's purpose in the
book is to recognize the child at
any age, in any situation, and in
any mood. Thus she can portray
tiie potentialities as well as the
limitations of each age.

The book is the result of ex-
perience with children. The
ideas for its roots were formed
several years ago, when their
needs and requests led over into
pre-school learning through fun.
It is to help in using the child's
ideas, or in developing new ones.
Each idea in this has been tested
and approved by experts; the
pre-schoolers themselves. The
illustrations were done by the
children so that you, the reader,
may know approximately what
to expect: not the cute, quaint
products of a grown up imitating
a four- year- old child, but the
messy originals of the happy
young experimenters themselves.

A child's pre-school years, says
Robert Burns, are "like the
snow-falls in the river, a
moment white, then melts for-
ever."

If you can learn to look in the
developing mind of your child
as a fascinating pageant, he will
sense the genuine richness of
his life; then you will be able to

relax and have fun with him
and all the gay things you do
will give him true enrichment.
His creative imagination will
develop.

The child who acquires ade-
quate rest and wholesome food.
and who is well disciplined is
an easy-to-live-with child. His
happiness improves your atti-
tude toward him and because of
that, this might help you,
'Heaven lies about us in our
infancy."

This book is highly recom-
mended for pre-school teachers
and mothers, because in this
book the child is presented with
such things as creative crafts,
drawing, modeling mediums and
designs with paper and paste,
Crafts give your child a chance
at self-expression.

Remember, your child needs
play space. His job during these
early years is simply to grow
like an unfolding flower. His
creative toys are his tools.

Psychologists and educators
feel strongly that nursery ex-
periences are of vast importance
in the mental growth and social
development of the pre-school
child.

In conclusion, the value of the
pre-scliool child in the nursery
groups, playground classes.
neighborhood playground
groups, and in the home will be-
come more obvious as the time
goes on. Your child's develop-
ment will show you how well
worth the effort is. If your child
has a difficult time at first, stay
with him if necessary, but what-
ever you do, don't give up.

The book sets forth the follow-
ing points:

1. Don't give too much guid-
ance.

2.Make your remarks general.

3. Display his work.

MOVIE REVIEW

^''Desire Under the Elms"

By Yvonne Hooks
"There's something dark
prowling in the corners,"
grunted Ephram. And so there
was ... in the life of a New
England family during the
1840's.

'Desire Under the Elms," a
movie based on the play by
American dramatist Eugene
O'Neil, tells the story of Anna,
the 25-year-old Italian wife of
76-year-old New England
farmer, Ephram; his son Eben,
who falls in love with fiery Ann;
and their baby whom Anna
murders to insure Eben's love
for her.

Burl Ives, as Ephram, gives an
impressive performance as the
stern, gusty Puritan hubsand
and father. Sophia Loren,
sultrily plays the part of selfish,
passoniate spitfire Anna. An-
thony Perkins, deftly portrays
quiet Eben who is hate-filled
and aloof.

^The uav to succeed in winnino; a niaideirs heart is
by beiii^ I ASHR)N WISE"

By Minnie

It seems to me that most
magazines and newspapers may
have some small comment on
ladies' fashions and nothing for
the dear fellows. So I decided
I would give the young men a
treat. Here are some of the latest
fashions for college and Ivy
League men.

The latest men's fashions are
the handsome "Palm Beach
wash-and-wear suits." You will
find comfortable, tailored fit.
which springs back precisely
after every washing.

"Chic" suits are the subject
of summer's most original
fashion statements. The new
double-breasted "Blazer" is ar-
ticulated in dark tropical "wor-
sted and daeron," and for the
first time made with matching
trousers. This means you have
a new kind of suit for day or
evening wear, roomier tlian
either a conventional suit or a
sports coat-slacks combination.
The "Blazer" is cut lor hot-
weather ease and fixed with
scored metal buttons. The
classic "Blazer" cut finds new
dimensions of elegance.

The latest jazz of a jacket de-
signed for sitting comfort
short, loose lightweight and cut
to ride away from the body is
the "Jetster," because it leads
a second life as a flight travel
coat with suit trousers. The
"Jetster" is destined to replace
sports coats over matching city-
shorts. The "Jetster" dips to a
point and ends in a cardigan
neck.

Around the world or around
the town, include in your ward-
robe Acrilan slacks. These slacks
hold their press, keep their
shape, shed wrinkles fast and
are so-ooo comfortable, fellows.

A hot-weather outfit in which
you could trudge along the
streets of Italy, yet turn up the
next day in Paris as impeccably
groomed as anyone in the Ritz
bar is the "Double Glen Urqu-
hart" plaid; 65 per cent daeron
and 35 per cent cotton, it dries
overnight as well. The white
shirt signals one of the big
textile stories of the decade:
pure cotton has finally been
processed to dry to perfection
without ironing. White slacks
become practical as well as
handsome for summer leisure in
an Acrilan blend which dries
fast and smooth.

To conclude with the latest

Ruth Smith
"kick" on our beloved campus,
we look at the "ALPINE HAT."
It folds on both sides, comes in
an array of colors, and has that
eye-catching "Feather" on tlie
side, which the young ladies
cannot miss.

All of these fashions may be
purchased at any of the fine
stores for men in our lovely city,
Savannah. Also these fashions
that I have passed along to you
are in wliat you might call the
Ivy League men's guide, the
book of the month. Esquire.

Science Workslu^p
Completes Plans

The Science Workshop for
teachers of the elementary
grades has just completed its
fifth week of work. The primary
objective of the Workshop is to
help good science teachers in the
elementary schools become
better science teachers in their
respective schools. The partici-
pating teachers in the Workshop
have undertaken this task witli
a great deal of interest and en-
thusiasm. Each teacher is work-
ing independently on the prob-
lem, or problems, which are
causing him the greatest
trouble in attempting to teach
the natural sciences on the
elementary level. This results in

Bowdoin Prexy
Slates Tax Plan

Brunswick, Me, (I J.) Sug-
gesting that the Internal Reve-
nue law be amended "to permit
monies given for scholarships to
our established colleges and uni-
versities to be deducted by the
taxpayer from the computed tax
due the government on his in-
come, rather than deducting said
amount from income before
computation of tax. President
James S. Coles of Bowdoin Col-
lege recently put forth this plan
as an alternate to the federal
scholarship program.

The federal program would
authorize 50.000 new scholarships
each year to be allocated among
the states in proportion to the
number of their secondary school
graduates. Dr. Coles stated that
his plan would cost the federal
government "no more than it
would appropriate for scholar-
ships and the necessary connect-
ed administrative expenses. It
would not discriminate against
any college or university, public
or private, by any arbitrary limi-
tation on scholarship funds.

"It would permit every dollar
of the individual citizen intend-
ed for scholarship purposes to
be devoted exclusively to schol-
arship purposes. And. finally, it
would permit the continuing di-
versity of support among insti-
tutions of many different kinds
in every nook and cranny of the
country, a general support which
gives strength to these institu-
tions as a whole through the di-
versity which it maintains,"

President Coles said that there
would naturally have to be limi-
tations upon the amounts which
would be deducted from income
tax payments by individuals giv-
ing scholar-ship funds to institu-
tions. The money given could
not exceed the amount needed
or that which the federal gov-
ernment might ordinarily ap-
propriate.

Dr, Coles also suggested, as an
alternative to federal scholar-
ships, the provision of Army and
Air Force ROTC scholarships like

Forty Scholars
To StiMly ill U. S.

Berkeley. Calif. ( I.P.) Ap-
proximately forty scholars, sci-
entists, and intellectual leadc[>
from Asia and the Near East will
come to four American univer:ii-
lies in the next five years fen
study and direct experience with
American scholarship and cul-
ture.

A grant of $800,000 has been
made by the Ford Foundation to
cover the cost of an inter-uni-
versity visiting scholar pro-
gram. The four universities par-
ticipating in the program are the
University of California, the
University of Chicago. Columbia
University and Harvard Univer-
sity. At the request of the other
three institutions, the University
of Chicago will serve as coordi-
nator and disbursing agent of
the grant.

Each of the universities will
select two visiting scholars each
year, the invitations being coor-
dinated to assure a balance in
various fields of study. The visi-
tors will come in approximately
equal numbers from four re-
gions:

India-Ceylon; the Near East
and Pakistan ; Southeast Asia,
including the Philippines; and
the Par East, including Japan,
Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
The grants will provide for for-
eign travel, maintenance, and
travel in the United States.
Wives of the scholars will be
invited, and children will be al-
lowed to accompany their par-
ents.

The visiting scholar program
is designed to bring intellectual
leaders from Asia and the Near
East to the United States. It will
operate through invitations ini-
tiated by the universities rather
than by applications by the can-
didates.

Dr. Dorwart said five assist-
antships in the department will
be awarded to sophomores for
the academic year. 1957-58. Each
will carry a stipend of $400 for
the year, either as a tuition
credit or in cash, and will be
renewable for the junior and
senior years if tlie student's rec-
ord warrants renewal.

Each student assistant will be
expected to devote from 10 to
12 hours per week to the follow-
ing projects-

Some reading of home-work

THE TIGER'S ROAR

August, 1958

OFMMON COLUMN

Ethicalioii: World's Bijigest Bargain

The people of the United States have long been accustomed to
look for bargains and special sales. Practically all methods of com-
munication carry news of special events which represent bargains.
The idea underlying this continuous search for special consideration
does not stop with the commercial world. It permeates all aspects
of our individual and national life. In our cities and communities
citizens tend to operate on that basis. The serious lack of proper
recreation facilities, adequate schools, mental and physical health
facilities, qualified teachers and leader.-) for schools and other forms
of social groupings represents another side of this picture. Every-
one wishes to secure these things at a bargain or a sale price. In
our schools and colleges the idea is represented by the tendency
of students to get by with as little effort as possible. Many enjoy
talking about the ease with which they pass certain courses and
the time they save by changing majors and carrying over-loads.
This tendency to get by with as little as possible has been extended
too far by too large a number of people.

As one considers the real meaning of this tendency, one finds
thai the procedure does not in any case represent a bargain or
saving. The four years which the average individual has allotted
for a college education should represent more than the passing of
courses and the amassing of credits. It is possible that a student
may spend his allotted time for a baccalaureate degree and still
leave eolicgc less prepared than one who never went to college. If
the college education is supposed to help a student live better and
do belter whatever he chooses as his vocation. i( certainly would
not be a bargain to gel less. In this respect, the college education
is very expensive to those who derive so little growth, so little depth,
so little understanding, and so little appreciation.

The manipulation of courses and programs for the special reason
of avoiding problems and getting out of college by a specific date
invariably leads to higher priced education. The progress made in
refinement of measurement, articulation, and precision in the me-
chanical world must also be applied to the social and cultural
areas. Accuracy, thoroughness and definiteness of planning pro-
duce excellent results when apphed to social and economic prob-
lems. Students who continue their programs and apply themselves
diligently because they have a need for the subjects usually take
advantage of a bargain. Tliere is always a bargain in a college
education when one's education and training becomes increasingly
influential in his living. It is possible for educatonal training to be
rated as the biggest bargain in the modern world. It is through this
process that great strides have been made in the improvement of
living, the extension of life, and the pursuit of happiness.

W. K. PAYNE. President

Iiiforiiial Education

Education as a by-product of a literate .society is almost always
placed at the top of its class. And m order to survive in a hterate
society one must have an education whether it be formal or in-
formal. Of the two approaches toward an education one is found
to be more valuable than the other. Tliis being the case the two
approaches have been studied and analyzed carefully, taking each
delicate part and placing it in its own particular category. From
the analysis, the following summation has been determined.

To live effectively in a modern society one needs that train-
ing which will enable him to accomplish this particular task. The
training includes what modern man calls a formal education. This
formal education will take him through the various departments
of a school of liberal arts. Here man begins with antiquity, and
studies the ideas of great men of that era, taking everything down
that may be of value to him that relates to the object or the idea,
that he would like to master. For four years or more he is un-
disturbed by outside forces and lets nothing get in his way lo
reach his ultimate goal. After this man has completed his educa-
tional requirements he is ready to take his place in this literate
society and to place above all things the value of money. For the
most part, this man lives his life out in comfort, that is he has all
the material things in life, but he misses something that the man
with the informal education has.

The man with an informal education does not go through all
of the stages that a man with a formal education goes through. For
the most part, a man with an informal education does not seek an
education as such, but with the propinquity of nature and
mankind, this man has an opportunity to achieve much. The
phenomenon of the propinquity of nature is that fact which makes
this man connoisseur of all his undertakings. Unlike the man with
the formal education this man does not study the ways of primordial
man for the sake of knowing more than his fellowman in order to
rise above him and look down on him in a condescending manner.
But. this knowledge which is usually gotten from the book of golden
rules is supplemented by this man's unceasing quest to understand
human nature. To do this he begins with nature in its crudest form;
he tries to understand the ways and actions of the insensate
creature which God put in this world for him to oversee. Step by
step he goes through the stages of learning, missing nothing that
will enable him to understand human nature. One of the greatest
of all human qualities is that of being philanthrophic. and the only
way one can accomplish this goal is to do as this man has done.
Study nature and human nature carefully and try to understand
its secrets and limitations. The man with an informal education
has more opportunities to achieve this quality, because he is closely
connected with these occurrences in nature and this quality is more
valuable than any other, and man can achieve this more readily if
he seeks an education, the informal way,

Student Opinions

By Sherman Roberson

The topic selected for student
comment is. "Will the addition
of Savannah State's new library
and technical buildings in-
fluence enrollment?" Opinions
were solicited from various stu-
dents. These are their reactions;

Hatlie Burton, junior, major-
ing in Physical Education states.
"The addition of these two
vitally-needed buildings to our
campus will tend to increase en-
rollment. The facilities will be
extended considerably,"

Minnie Ruth Smith, freshman.
majoring in Elementary Educa-
tion, says, "The addition of
buildings to our fair campus will
draw more students to Savan-
nah State. It will also raise the
status of our beloved school."

Johnny Harris is very en-
thusiastic about our new tech-
nical building and feels that "to
the entering students interested
in engineering, these added
facilities should serve as in-
spiration,"

\our Kole as College Graduate in Your Coniniunily

There is no doubt that a large number pf us come from rural
and small communities. However, the size of your community is of
no major importance. It will in no way change what will be ex-
pected ol you as a college graduate. Therefore, persons returning
to the small communities are just as important as persons return-
ing to the large communities.

As a college graduate you will be called upon to perform and
expected to do many duties that might not be directly related to
the work you were trained for. You will be invited to join various
clubs, serve on various committees, explain or give your views on
controversial topics, organize clubs and any number of other things

Gwendolyn Davis, senior,
majoring in General Science
states that "the addition of the
technical building might have
an effect on the enrollment" but
she fails to see where the library
will have any influence,

Lonnie Culver, junior, major-
ing in Business Education, feels
that. "Enrollment may not be
increased, but the students may
attain better averages due to the
addition of the new library, be-
cause of the more materials that
will be available"

Mable McPherson, senior,
majoring in English feels that
"the addition of the library will
not influence enrollment, but
perhaps it will have an effect on
scholastic averages. The tech-
nical program will probably draw
students interested in science."

The students seem to have
varied views as to some of the
changes that may possibly occur
as a result of additions to our
campus. This reporter feels that
these buildings are much-
needed, long-awaited facilities.

THE PERISCOPE

By Sherman Roberson

The recent firing of a V. S. ballistic missile from Cape Canaveral.
Florida, has presented somewhat of a problem. The nose cone of
the missile contained a mouse. The missile traveled 6,000 statute
miles from Cape Canaveral and landed near Ascension Island in the
South Atlantic Ocean.

This was the first known successful firing of a ballistic weapon
more than 6,000 miles into outer space and which survived the red
hot plunge back into the earth's atmosphere. The nose cone of the
missile has not been recovered as of yet. In London, England, the
Royal Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said it will pro-
test to the American Embassy about the mouse being fired into
space.

The Periscope moves momentarily to Ottawa, Canada, which
was the work bench for recent talks completed between President
Eisenhower and Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker and other high
Canadian officials.

it is indespensible that the highest degree of mutual trust and
respect exist between the United States and Canada.

Due to the addition of Alaska as the 49th state, increased
emphasis should be placed on United States and Canadian relations.
The United States will touch Canada on the Northwest as well as
the South and the common border of the two countries will be in-
creased by 1,500 miles.

The long awaited, talked about, summit talks appear to be a
merry-gc-round of propaganda. Both parties involved have made
numerou.s accusations, each accusing the other of delaying these
talks. This situation appears to be symbolic of a high school dance.
where the girls are too shy to dance and the fellows are glad of it.

The Periscope focuses the troubled scene of Lebanon. The
U. N. observer teams have asserted that President Nasser's United
Arab Republic has been rendering aid to the rebels. The teams
reported that for the first time arrangements had been made for
them to travel into the northeastern Lebanese area which is re-
garded as one of the most likely infiltration routes from U. A. R.'s
province of Syria. This area is currently controlled by rebel leader
Sabri Hamadi.

The Periscope noted that it has been stated that the recession
is leveling off, unemployment has decreased, and the hardest blow
has been felt. Let's hope so, anyway!

that the citizens of the various communities may ask you to do.
We do not condemn a person's being a member of some organiza-
tion nor do we condone a person's trying to belong to all of them.
As a college graduate, you will be expected to be a resourceful
person. In the event you are called upon to perform some duty you
are not thoroughly familiar with, you will be expected to know
some reliable sources from which information may be found. In
conclusion, we also think that as a college graduate it is your
responsibility to select, to as great a degree as possible, those organ-
izations in which you will render the most service to your com-

Why Do Students Fail?

By Alfonso Arnold

Ask a student why he failed
a particular course and the
blame is invariably placed upon
the instructor. While this is not
always the true picture, many
teachers do. by their methods,
assume partial responsibility for
the student's failure. In many
cases teachers cannot or do not
simplify their subject matter
However, this does not mean
that the teacher does not know
the subject or material but that
he is unable to bring his instruc-
tion down to the level of the
students.

Some students fail becausr
they do not have enough time
to prepare adequately for their
studies. As to the why of thr
time element, it is often re-
marked that some teachers seen:
to think that they are the onh
teachers. With this idea preva-
lent, they thrust upon the stu-
dent assignments that will con-
sume four or five hours for thai
particular coruse alone. Ther^
is an apparent disregard fo:
assignments given by other in
structors.

The foregoing accounts an
what you hear from the studen^
who failed a course. Every fac
tor other than himself is blamed
While many of the factors out-
side himself should be viewec
with concern, I believe that, gen-
erally, students fail because o:
the improper utilization of time
This is to infer that there is :
tendency to forsake genuim;
studying until just before th-
final examination. As a resuli
there is an all-out endeavor t^'
catch up on neglected work b}
staying up all night studying
Therefore, when the examining
hour comes, there is botl
physical and emotional fatigue
Indeed, if he had used his brair.
to this extent, his successful out-
come in the course would have
been ascertained long before the
"cramming process."

How True Is Truth?

By Sherman Roberson

Out of physical, chemical, or un-
known changes our world was
born.

Who can state with validity, out
of which did it occur?

Even the theories employed are
the results of abstract thought,

A power greater than man's gave
birth to this treasured uni-
verse.

I employ many questions, to
which there appear no
answers;

The scientist sets forth vague
solutions in their regards.

But even he doubts the results
or their skepticism.

And why not I? Is this not logic?

I profess myself to be one of a
scientific attitude,

I even share the hope of becom-
ing a scientist,

But even those things we claim
as truth,

Should we not forever question
their validity?

Should we not seek truth even
beyond the threshold of truth?

I shall venture even if I go alone.

Man and His Present Era

By Leroy Mobley

Now we stand on the threshold

of space.
Awed and overwhelmed by our

ignorance
Of the things we found we did

not know.
Yet pleased with our untiring

vigilance.

Man nor mankind will never
cease to wonder

At the complexity of the uni-
verse.

The only question that now
arises is.

Whether this is a blessing or a
curse.

Why Not Go Into
Journalism?

By Elzata Brown

Job opportunities in the field
of journalism are open today to
all persons with capability and
interest.

If you were to taice time out
to compare the earlier related
opportunities with those of to-
day, you would be astonished
and amazed over the great in-
crease.

Journalism may include edit-
ing and other newspaper jobs
and the writing of columns, or
other special features either for
newspapers or magazines. Re-
poring leads directly into and
provides the solid basis for most
of these activities.

Editing offers opportunities in
the management of magazines.
Publishing houses also need the
services of a variety of editors.
The editor has a great responsi?
bility in directing the work of
many reporters; therefore, he
should be a past master of the
reporter's art.

There is a growing field of op-
portunity for individuals who
prefer publicity and public rela-
tions work. Colleges, commer-
cial houses, states, the federal
government, railroads, banks,
and organizations have learned
the value of professional inter-
pretation of their activities and
aims.

Now is the chance for you who
have hoped and wished for years
to become a free-lance writer. If
you were to dig down in past
history, you would find that a
large proportion of the success-
ful authors of today have ac-
quired their basic training as
newspaper reporters The varied
experience and the constant use
of succint language form an ex-
celent basis for literary achieve-
ment. Many writers build a sub-
stantial income by serving as
local or traveling correspondents
for trade magazines.

The young reporter frequently
yearns to be a columnist. And
there is no reason why he
should not achieve his goal if
he has the ability. Most papers
subscribe to a few syndicated
columns of famous individuals;
therefore, the field is narrow and
highly competitive. Neverthe-
less, columns are today brewing
in the minds of young reporters
which will make the syndicate
tomorrow through sheer novel-
ty and reader-appeal. Fortun-
ately, the syndicates do not have
an absolute corner of the col-
umn market.

Fdshiojt PSotes

By Emma Lue Jordan

Ladles, take a look with me at
the effective measures of the
"best dressed look."

For that "Feminine Touch,"
for that most talked about out-
fit, note the following things;

1, It's not how many outfits
you have ; it's how you wear
them.

2, The popular suggestion for
the girl with the budget is a
plain two-piece outfit chosen to
coordinate with a checked shirt
and jacket. By far you have six
outfits within the two,

3, The scarf, flower, necklace
and the right shoes with a spark
of color can do wonders to that
outfit,

4, The knowing where to wear
what is the prize knowledge of
any best-dressed woman.

5, Ladies, in taking a look at
your personal wardrobe don't
forget how important it is to be
well-groomed.

The Perfect Compliment ladies
is "Self -Approval"

Ladies take a sincere look at
your hair-do. The best dressed
look is not complete without the
million dollar hair-do, well in
place.

Chose the perfect style! One
that will accept the lovelier you.

It is a must to keep your hair
well-groomed at all times.

well prepared and agree in ad-
vance on the aspects of the topic
to be discussed," Dr. Lloyd said.

The program is in its sixth
consecutive year and has never

missed a broadcast, he stated.
Radio Station WSAV has a po-
tential audience of one million
listeners, and the Roundtable is
considered one of the station's
outstanding features, Dr Lloyd
added.

The February Roundtable dis-
cussion was centered around the
subject, "Negro History as a
Factor in Internationalism," and
featured Dr. Calvin L Kiah,
chairman of the Department of
Education, and Dr, Elmer Dean,
chairman of the Department of
Social Sciences, President W. K
Payne gave introductory remarks
which took note of the program's
service to the community.

Dr. Lloyd concluded. "Person-
ally. I think that although it is
often difficult to organize
the program, it is an excellent
medium of enlightenment. The
Roundtable has been a very ef-
fective phase of Savannah State
College's adult education ef-
fort,"

Wilbert (Boss) Maynor, a sen-
ior, earning the closed nickname
during his term as president of
his Fraternity and known as
"the man with the big horn" in
the college band is a soft spoken,
and friendly young man

Maynor hails from Sylvania,
Georgia. He strongly believes
that "he that hath a trade, hath
also an estate". Because of such
a belief, and a love the mathe-
matical world, he has centered
his concentration around Indus-
trial Education while matriculat-
ing at Savannah State College.

By Erma Marie Lee

There used to be a common
belief that jobs were the pre-
vailing gap between careers and
marriage. Some people think
that if a girl should marry she
must give up her business life
and adopt the idea of being a
mother, and a wife only.

In our modern society things
have changed, A woman now
spends two-thirds of her time
working, and the remaining por-
tion of her time being a mature
woman and a mature wife.

There are many reasons why
married women work. The finan-
cial reason, of course. Is one of
the greatest reasons. Most wom-
en think that a pay check Is a
mighty good thing.

A "newlywed" may continue to
work because she and her hus-
band need the money for their
new home, or living expenses. A
young wile may take a job be-
cause in these days the high
cost of hving may not allow them
to live comfortably. An older
woman may want to save money
for her children's college edu-
cation.

A girl may work because she
enjoys her job. or she may have
responsibilities that will not al-
low her to remain at home all
day "playing cards, ' Another
may have adequate training and
does not want it to go to waste.
There are a great number of
women, too, who feel that they
must help support their children,
or they might have the full re-
sponsibilities of supporting their
children Then there are other
women who will go back to work
when their children have reach-
ed the age where they no longer
need constant care and guidance
from their mothers.

Whatever her reason may be
for working, the married girl has
the same responsibilities of her
job as the single girl. In addi-
tion, she. at times, has to work
harder than the single girl, to
prove to her employer that she is
capable of doing her job well,
and that she intends to stay on
the job.

In combining marriage with
your career it calls for a little
self-intuition. You need to be
strong physically as well as men-
tally. You need to be able to
both jobs well. You need have an
an understanding husband. It is
also wise to know if your job will
or will not affect your marriage.
And last but not least, can you
undertake the job of being a lov-
ing wife, a competent mother.
and a good businesswoman?

I am not old-fashioned enough
to believe that a pay check is
more important to men than a
successful marriage.

The Intramural Program

By J. Campbell, Jr.

Organized last year under the able guidance and direction of
Coach Richard Washington, the intramural sports program is prov-
ing to be one of the most satisfying extra-curricular activities for
students who do not participate in varsity sports The need for such
a program was long in evidence and judging by attendance and
group participation, the current program provides a healthful out-
let for participants and spectators,

In the intramural program as witnessed by the current basket-
ball race, there is present an element which is entirely lacking in
varsity games the presence of two cheering sections. At a varsity
game if the home team is losing (which everyone will agree hap-
pened too often this yean the entire gymnasium is silent Not so
In the intramurals- for every team has Its loyal rooters who don't
hesitate to cheer.

Anyone who has not seen one of the intramural games this
winter has certainly missed a pleasant surprise, for much of the
comic is prevalent, and friendly group rivalry generates an excessive
amount of excitement. Every team has at least one player whose
sense of balance and grace seem to vanish the instant he hits the
floor. After a day of study, the fans find it refreshing to witness
these players, who when attempting shots, frequently flaunt the
laws of gravity. But Sir Isaac need not fear, for eventually they
come dovm to earth, or in this case the floor.

According to Coach Washington, the current program Is prin-
cipally a Winter Quarter one. with most teams participating only in
basketball. A good, solid, year-round program with the addition of
Softball in the spring and perhaps touch football during the fall
would be the goal desired. The teams which are currently taking
part in the basketball program could help towards the realization
of this goal. If they would field teams and participate with the zeal
they have shown in the basketball program.

Dr. William K. Payne, presi-

AAC Prepares
Teaching List

Edmond, Okla. (I.P.) A

teaching list for college teachers
and a self-survey handbook are
being planned by an American
Association of Colleges for
Teacher Education committee in
which Dr. W, Max Chambers,
president of Central State Col-
lege, is an officer.

The teaching list would first
require a survey of all colleges
and universities preparing teach-
ers for higher education. The
list would be subdivided into va-
rious fields. The self-survey
handbook would be a guide for
administration and faculties to
project their needs scientifically.
Financial, housing, curriculum,
enrollment needs all would be
covered by the scientific re-
search guide.

It's a national problem need-
ing a national office, says Dr.
Chambers, Access to the list by
AACTE members would mean
they would have to check only
the list rather than to visit grad-
uate schools over the country.

OPINION COLUMN

Education: World's Biggesl Bargain

The people of the United States have long been accustomed to
look for bargains and special sales. Practically all methods of com-
munication carry news of special events which represent bargains.
Tlie idea underlying this continuous search for special consideration
does not stop with the commercial world. It permeates all aspects
of our individual and national life. In our cities and communities
citizens tend to operate on that basis. The serious laclc of proper
recreation facilities, adequate schools, mental and physical health
facilities, quahfied teachers and leaders for schools and other forms
of social groupings represents anotlier side of this picture. Every-
one wishes to secure these things at a bargain or a sale price. In
our schools and colleges the idea is represented by tlie tendency
of students to get by with as little effort as possible. Many enjoy
talking about the ease with which they pass certain courses and
the time they save by changing majors and carrying over-loads.
This tendency to get by with as little as possible has been extended
too far by too large a number of people.

As one considers the real meaninn: of this tendency, one finds
that the procedure docs not in any case represent a bargain or
saving. The four years which the average individual has allotted
for a collejie education should represent more than the passing of
courses and the amassing of credits. It is possible that a student
may spend his allotted time for a baccalaureate degree and still
leave college less prepared than one who never went to college. If
the college education is supposed to help a student live better and
do belter whatever he chooses as his vocation. It certainly would
not be a bargain to get less. In this respect, the college education
is very expensive to those who derive so little growth, so little depth.
so little understanding, and so little appreciation.

The manipulation of courses and programs for the special reason
of avoiding problems and getting out of college by a specific date
invariably leads to higher priced education. The progress made in
refinement of measurement, articulation, and precision in the me-
chanical world must also be applied to the social and cultural
areas. Accuracy, thoroughness and definiteness of planning pro-
duce excellent results when applied to social and economic prob-
lems. Students who continue their programs and apply themselves
diligently because they have a need for the subjects usually take
advantage of a bargain. There is always a bargain in a college
education when one's education and training becomes increasingly
influential in his living. It is possible for educatonal training to be
rated as the biggest bargain in the modern world. It is through this
process that great strides have been made in the improvement of
living, the extension of life, and the pursuit of happiness.

Sliidcnl Opinions

By Sherman Roberson

The topic selected for student
comment is. "Will the addition
of Savannah State's new library
and technical buildings in-
fluence enrollment?" Opinions
were solicited from various stu-
dents. These are their reactions:

Hattie Burton, junior, major-
ing in Physical Education states.
"The addition of these two
vitally-needed buildings to our
campus will tend to increase en-
rollment. The facilities will be
extended considerably."

Minnie Ruth Smith, freshman,
majoring in Elementary Educa-
tion, says. "The addition of
buildings to our fair campus will
draw more students to Savan-
nah State, It will also raise the
status of our beloved school,"

Johnny Harris is very en-
thusiastic about our new tech-
nical building and feels that "to
the entering students interested
in engineering, these added
facilities should serve as in-
spiration,"

Informal Education

Education as a by-product of a literate society is almost always
placed at the top of its class. And in order to survive in a literate
society one must have an education whether it be formal or in-
formal. Of the two approaches toward an education one is found
to be more valuable than the other. This being the case the two
approaches have been studied and analyzed carefully, taking each
delicate par:, and placing it in its own particular category. From
the analysis, the following summation has been determined.

To live effectively in a modern society one needs that train-
ing which will enable him to accomplish this particular task. The
training includes what modern man calls a formal education. This
formal education will take him through the various departments
of a school of liberal arts. Here man begins with antiquity, and
studies the ideas of great men of that era, taking everything down
that may be of value to him that relates to the object or the idea,
that he would like to master. For four years or more he is un-
disturbed by outside forces and lets nothing get in his way to
reach his ultimate goal. Aiter this man has completed his educa-
tional requirements he is ready to take his place in this literate
society and to place above all things the value of money. For the
mobt part, this man lives his life out in comfort, that is he has all
the material things in life, but he misses something that the man
with the informal education has.

The man with an informal education does not go through all
of the stages that a man with a formal education goes through. For
the most part, a man with an informal education does not seek an
education as such, but with the propinquity of nature and
mankind, this man has an opportunity to achieve much. The
phenomenon of the propinquity of nature is that fact which makes
this man connoisseur of all his undertakings. Unlike the man with
the formal education this man does not study the ways of primordial
man for the sake of knowing more than his fellowman in order to
rise above him and look down on him in a condescending manner.
But. this knowledge which is usually gotten from the book of golden
rules is supplemented by this man's unceasing quest to understand
human nature. To do this he begins with nature in its crudest form;
he tries to understand the ways and actions of the insensate
creature which God put in this world for him to oversee. Step by
step he goes through the stages of learning, missing nothing that
will enable him to understand human nature. One of the greatest
of all human qualities is that of being philanthrophic, and the only
way one can accomplish this goal is to do as this man has done.
Study nature and human nature carefully and try to understand
its secrets and limitations. The man with an informal education
has more opportunities to achieve this quality, because he is closely
connected with these occurrences in nature and this quality is more
valuable than any other, and man can achieve this more readily if
he .seeks an education, the informal way.

DANIEL WASHINGTON

Gwendolyn Davis, senior,
majoring in General Science
states that "the addition of the
technical building might have
an effect on the enrollment" but
she fails to see where the library
will have any influence.

Lonnie Culver, junior, major-
ing in Business Education, feels
that, "Enrollment may not be
increased, but the students may
attain better averages due to the
addition of the new hbrary. be-
cause of the more materials that
will be available."

Mable McPherson, senior,
majoring in English feels that
"the addition of the library will
not influence enrollment, but
perhaps it will have an effect on
scholastic averages. The tech-
nical program will probably draw
students interested in science."

The students seem to have
varied views as to some of the
changes that may possibly occur
as a result of additions to our
campus. This reporter feels that
these buildings are much-
needed, long-awaited facilities.

THE PERISCOPE

By Siicrman Roberson

The recent firing of a V. S. ballistic missile from Cape Canaveral,
Florida, has presented somewhat of a problem. The nose cone of
the missile contained a mouse. The missile traveled 6.000 statute
miles from Cape Canaveral and landed near Ascension Island in the
South Atlantic Ocean.

This was the first known successful firing of a ballistic weapon
more than 6.000 miles into outer space and which survived the red
hot plunge back into the earth's atmosphere. The nose cone of the
missile has not been recovered as of yet. In London. England, the
Royal Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said it will pro-
test to the American Embassy about the mouse being fired into
space.

The Periscope moves momentarily to Ottawa, Canada, which
was the work bench for recent talks completed between President
Eisenhower and Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker and other high
Canadian officials.

It is indespensible that the highest degree of mutual trust and
re-spect exist between the United States and Canada.

Due to the addition of Alaska as the 49th state, increased
emphasis should be placed on United States and Canadian relations.
The United States will touch Canada on the Northwest as well as
the South and the common border of the two countries will be in-
creased by 1.500 miles.

The long awaited, talked about, summit talks appear to be a
merry-gc-round of propaganda. Both parties involved have made
numerous accusations, each accusing the other of delaying these
talks. This situation appears to be symbolic of a high school dance,
where the girls are too shy to dance and the fellows are glad of it.

The Periscope focuses the troubled scene of Lebanon, The
U. N, observer teams have asserted tliat President Nasser's United
Arab Republic has been rendering aid to the rebels. The teams
reported that for the first time arrangements had been made for
them to travel into the northeastern Lebanese area which is re-
garded as one of the most likely infiltration routes from U, A, R s
province of Syria. This area is currently controlled by rebel leader
Sabri Hamadi.

The Periscope noted that it has been stated that the recession
is leveling off, unemployment has decreased, and the hardest blow
has been felt. Let's hope so, anyway!

that the citizens of the various communities may ask you to do.

We do not condemn a person's being a member of some organiza-
tion nor do we condone a person's trying to belong to all of them.
As a college graduate, you will be expected to be a resourceful
person. In the event you are called upon to perform some duty you
are not thoroughly familiar with, you will be expected to know
some reliable sources from which information may be found. In
conclusion, we also think that as a college graduate it is your
responsibility to select, to as great a degree as possible, those organ-

munity,

Why Do Students Fail?

By Alfonso Arnold

Ask a student why he failed
a particular course and the
blame is invariably placed upon
the instructor. While this is not
always the true picture, many
teachers do. by their methods,
assume partial responsibility foi
the student's failure. In many
cases teachers cannot or do not
simplify their subject matter
However, this does not mean
that the teacher does not know
the subject or material but that
he is unable to bring his instruc-
tion down to the level of thf
students-

Some students fail because
they do not have enough time
to prepare adequately for theii
studies. As to the why of the
time element, it is often re-
marked that some teachers seem
to think that they are the only
teachers. With this idea preva-
lent, they thrust upon the stu-
dent assignments that will con-
sume four or five hours for that
particular coruse alone. There
is an apparent disregard foi
assignments given by other in-
structors.

The foregoing accounts art
what you hear from the student
who failed a course. Every fac-
tor other than himself is blamed
While many of the factors out-
side himself should be viewec
with concern. I believe that, gen-
erally, students fail because of
the improper utilization of time
This is to infer that there is a
tendency to forsake genuine
studying until j ust before the
final examination. As a result
there is an all-out endeavor tc
catch up on neglected work bj
staying up all night studying
Therefore, when the examining
hour comes, there is both
physical and emotional fatigue
Indeed, if he had used his brain
to this extent, his successful out-
come in the course would have
been ascertained long before the
"cramming process."

How True I.s Truth?

By Sherman Roberson

Out of physical, chemical, or un-
known changes our world was
born,

Who can state with validity, out
of which did it occur?

Even the theories employed are
the results of abstract thought

A power greater than man's gave
birth to this treasured uni-
verse.

I employ many questions, to
which there appear no
answers:

The scientist sets forth vague
solutions in their regards.

But even he doubts the results
or their skepticism.

And why not I? Is this not logic"'

I profess myself to be one of a
scientific attitude,

I even share the hope of becom-
ing a scientist.

But even those things we claim
as truth,

Should we not forever question
their validity?

Should we not seek truth even
beyond the threshold of truth?

I shall venture even if I go alone.

Your Koie as College Graduate in Your Community

There is no doubt that a large number of us come from rural
and small communities. However, the size of your community is of
no major Importance. It will in no way change what will be ex-
pected of you as a college graduate. Therefore, persons returning
to the small communities are just as important as persons return-
ing to the large communities.

As a college graduate you will be called upon to perform and
expected to do many duties that might not be directly related to
the w^ork you were trained for. You will be invited to join various
clubs, serve on various committees, explain or give your views on
controversial topics, organize clubs and any number of other things

Whether this is a blessing or a

and make acceptable scores on
the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board tests. High school
transcripts must show 16 full
units including four of English
and 3'.- of mathematics through
trigonometry and solid geometry.

Apprentices work full-time for
General Electric and are paid at
a beginning rate of $60 a week.
eventually making $80 a week.
They have Union College classes
at night. The program covers
four years during which two
years of college credit, for which
General Electric pays the tuition,
may be earned. Full-time work
is continued during the summer
but classes are attended only
during the normal academic
year.

At the end of this program it
is possible to obtain a leave of
absence to continue work toward
a degree on a full-time basis or
continue working for the firm
and going to college at night.
There is a possibility of addi-
t i n a 1 scholarship assistance
toward a degree but this is not
guaranteed.

Fifty young men are now par-
ticipating in this program.
Women are not eligible because
of a state law limiting their em-
ployment in jobs of this nature
until they reach the age of 21.
Applications are not limited to
students from the New York

Square Dance
Replaces Assembly

By Mable McPherson
The faculty and student body
of Savannah State College had
many varied experiences on
Thursday, July 3. when a
"Square Dance" was held in
Wiley Gymnasium instead of the
usual assembly program. Mrs,
Ella Fisher, assistant professor
of Physical ducation, was the
director.

The two dances learned by the
student body were Pattie Cake
Poker and Heads and Sides.
First, instructions were given the
group without the music: sec-
ond, instructions were given
with the music; and finally the
group participated in the dance
without any assistance from the
director,

A number was given to each
student at the entrance of the
gymnasium, matching a number
of the opposite sex, which was
used as a ticket for a soda and
a hot dog.

BOOK REVIEW

By Thurnell Johnson

Home Play for the Pre-School
Child. June Johnson, Harper and
Brothers Publishing Company.
New York. 1957.

The author's special qualifica-
tion for writing this book is from
the results of experience with
her own children. Her materials
came from a great deal of study-
ing and reading, public play-
ground classes, talking to other
mothers, and other nursery
teachers, back yard nursery
groups, and ideas from the chil-
dren themselves.

The author's purpose in the
book is to recognize the child at
any age, in any situation, and in
any mood. Thus she can portray
the potentialities as well as the
limitations of each age.

The book is the result of ex-
perience with children. The
ideas for its roots were formed
several years ago, when their
needs and requests led over into
pre-school learning through fun.
It is to help in using the child's
ideas, or in developing new ones.
Each idea in this has been tested
and approved by experts; the
pre-schoolers themselves. The
illustrations were done by the
children so that you, the reader,
may know approximately what
to expect: not the cute, quaint
products of a grown up imitating
a iour-year-old child, but the
messy originals of the happy
young experimenters themselves.

A child's pre-school years, says
Robert Burns, are "like the
snow-falls in the river, a
moment white, then melts for-
ever."

If you can learn to look in the
developing mind of your child
as a fascinating pageant, he will
sense the genuine richness of
his life; then you will be able to

relax and have fun with him
and all the gay things you do
will give him true enrichment.
His creative imagination will
develop.

The child who acquires ade-
quate rest and wholesome food,
and who is well disciplined is
an easy-to-live-with child. His
happiness improves your atti-
tude toward him and because of
that, this might help you,
"Heaven lies about us in our
infancy,"

This book is highly recom-
mended for pre-school teachers
and mothers, because in this
book the child is presented with
such things as creative crafts,
drawing, modeling mediums and
designs with paper and paste.
Crafts give your child a chance
at self-expression.

Remember, your child needs
play space. His job during these
early years is simply to grow
like an unfolding flower. His
creative toys are his tools.

Psychologists and educators
feel strongly that nursery ex-
periences are of vast importance
in the mental growth and social
development of the pre-school
child.

In conclusion, the value of the
pre-school child in the nursery
groups, playground classes,
neighborhood playground
groups, and in the home will be-
come more obvious as the time
goes on. Your child's develop-
ment will show you how well
worth the effort is. If your child
has a difficult time at first, stay
with him if necessary, but what-
ever you do, don't give up.

The book sets forth the follow-
ing points:

1. Don't give too much guid-
ance.

2,Make your remarks general.

3. Display his work.

MOVIE REVIEW

"Desire Under the Elms'"

By Yvonne Hooks
"There's something dark
prowling in the corners,"
grunted Ephram, And so there
was in the life of a New

England family during the
1840"s.

"Desire Under the Elms," a
movie based on the play by
American dramatist Eugene
O'Neil, tells the story of Anna,
the 25-year-old Italian wife of
76-year-old New England
farmer, Ephram; his son Eben.
who falls in love with fiery Ann;
and their baby whom Anna
murders to insure Eben's love
for her.

Burl Ives, as Ephram. gives an
impressive performance as the
stern, gusty Puritan hubsand
and father, Sophia Loren.
sultrily plays the part of selfish,
passoniate spitfire Anna. An-
thony Perkins, deftly portrays
quiet Eben who is hate-filled
and aloof.

rhe May l< siicceel in Miiiiiin< a nuiideirs heart is
hy beiii- I ASHIOIN WISE"

By Minnie Ruth Smith
to me that most

It seems to me
magazines and newspapers may
have some small comment on
ladies' fashions and nothing for
the dear fellows. So I decided
I would give the young men a
treat. Here arc some of the latest
fashions for college and Ivy
League men.

The latest nien's fashions are
the handsome "Palm Beach
wash-and-wear suits." You will
find comfortable, tailored fit,
which springs back precisely
after every washing.

"Chic" suits are the subject
of summer's most original
fashion statements. The new
double-breasted "Blazer" is ar-
ticulated in dark tropical "wor-
sted and dacron." and for the
first time made with matching
trousers. This means you have
a new kind of suit for day or
evening wear, roomier (ban
either a eoiiveiitional suit or a
sports coat-slacks combination.
The "Blazer" is cut for hot-
weather case and fixed with
scored metal buttons. The
classic "Blazer" cut finds new
dimensions of elegance.

The latest jazz of a jacket de-
signed for .'Sitting comfort-
short, loose lightweight and cut
to ride away from the body is
the "Jetster," because it leads
a second life as a flight travel
coat with suit trousers. The
"Jetster" is destined to replace
sports coats over matching city-
shorts. The "Jetster" dips to a
point and ends in a cardigan
neck.

Around the world or around
the town, include in your ward-
robe Acrilan slacks. These slacks
hold their press, keep their
shape, shed wrinkles fast and
are so-ooo comfortable, fellows.

A hot-weather outfit in which
you could trudge along the
streets of Italy, yet turn up the
next day in Paris as impeccably
groomed as anyone in the Ritz
bar is the "Double Glen Urqu-
hart" plaid; 65 per cent dacron
and 35 per cent cotton, it dries
overnight as well. The white
shirt signals one of the big
textile stories of the decade :
pure cotton has finally been
processed to dry to perfection
without ironing. White slacks
become practical as well as
handsome for summer leisure in
an Acrilan blend which dries
fast and smooth.

To conclude with the latest

"kick" on our beloved campus.
we look at the "ALPINE HAT."
It folds on both sides, comes in
an array of colors, and has that
eye-catching "Feather" on the
side, which the young ladies
cannot miss.

All of these fashions may be
purchased at any of the fine
stores for men in our lovely city,
Savannah. Also these fashions
that I have passed along to you
are in what you might call the
Ivy League men's guide, the
book of the month. Esquire.

Science Workshop
Completes Plans

The Science Workshop for
teachers of the elementary
grades has just completed its
fifth week of work. The primary
objective of the Workshop is to
help good science teachers in the
elementary schools become
better science teachers in their
respective schools. The partici-
pating teachers in the Workshop
have undertaken this task with
a great deal of interest and en-
thu.'^iasm. Each teacher is work-
ing independently on the prob-
lem, or problems, which are
causing him the greatest
trouble in attempting to teach
the natural sciences on the
elementary level. This results in

BoM(loin Prexv
States Tax Plan

Brunswick, Me. (I.P.) Sug-
gesting that the Internal Reve-
nue law be amended "to permit
monies given for scholarships to
our established colleges and uni-
versities to be deducted by the
taxpayer from the computed tax
due the government on his in-
come, rather than deducting said
amount from income before
computation of tax, President
James S. Coles of Bowdoin Col-
lege recently put forth this plan
as an alternate to the federal
scholarship program.

The federal program would
authorize 50.000 new scholarships
each year to be allocated among
the states in proportion to the
number of their secondary school
graduates. Dr. Coles stated that
his plan would cost the federal
government "no more than it
would appropriate for scholar-
ships and the necessary connect-
ed administrative expenses. It
would not discriminate against
any college or university, public
or private, by any arbitrary limi-
tation on scholarship funds.

"It would permit every dollar
of the individual citizen intend-
ed for scholarship purposes to
be devoted exclusively to schol-
arship purposes. And, finally, it
would permit the continuing di-
versity of support among insti-
tutions of many different kinds
in every nook and cranny of the
country, a general support which
gives strength to these institu-
tions as a whole through the di-
versity which it maintains."

President Coles said that there
would naturally have to be limi-
tations upon the amounts which
would be deducted from income
tax payments by individuals giv-
ing .scholarship funds to institu-
tions. The money given could
not exceed the amount needed
or that which the federal gov-
ernment might ordinarily ap-
propriate.

Dr. Coles aI.so suggested, as an
alternative to federal scholar-
ships, the provision of Army and
Air Force ROTC scholarships like

Maps Plan for
Assistants

Hartford, Conn. (I. P.) A

long-range plan for student as-
sistants in the dapartment of
mathematics at Trinity College
has received substantial support
from the International Business
Machines Corp.

Dr. Dorwart said five assist-
antships in the department will
be awarded to sophomores for
the academic year. 1957-58. Each
will carry a stipend of $400 for
tlie year, either as a tuition
credit or in cash, and will be
renewable for the junior and
senior years if the student's rec-
ord warrants renewal.

Each student assistant will be
expected to devote from 10 to
12 hours per week to the follow-
ing projects-

Some reading of home-work

papers in the basic mathematics
courses;

Attendance at certain of the

departmental meetings and par-
ticipation in the discussions;

Assistance in blackboard drills
at sessions for weaker students;
and

For seniors, some actual teach-
ing in freshman sections under
careful supervision.

"I anticipate a four-fold re-
turn from the successful instal-
lation of the assistantships." Dr
Dorwart said, "First, an overall
increase in the interest of math-
ematics; second, an increased in
terest in the teaching of mathe-
matics ; third, a growing realiza-
tion that grants for financial as-
sistance requiring some work ar--
more helpful to the college anc
to the students than outright
gifts; and fourth, an awareness
on the part of mathematics de-
partments in other colleges oi
the need for a definite program
like this to encourage majors in
this important field."

College Panthers who defeated
them last year by a score of 40-0.
The Tigers are undefeated in
conference games. They played
one out-of-conference game
which they lost. As a result of
this outstanding record, a very
thrilling game is expected.

Half time activities will in-
clude music and formations by
Clark College and Savannah
State College bands. All queens
will be honored during this
period.

The series of activities in ob-
servance of Homecoming will
conclude with a dance in Wilcox
Gymnasium following the game.

Presidet9t'S Message

Education today has many dimensions. The term dimension
often brings to our minds early experiences in school. Then, we
learned that objects may possess length, breadth, and thickness.
Later, in our work in algebra, ue discovered that there were still
other dimensions. Recent discoveries have added to the traditional
three which we thought to be final. The Theory of Relativity, de-
veloped by Albert Einstein, points up the fourth dimension time.
In our colleges and universities we find students of many kinds.
Some conceive of college primarily in terms of length; the number
of quarters, or years required to complete an under-graduate
curriculum. Another group of students sees the college degree pro-
gram as one providing an extensive variety of experiences. A third
group looks at college, not only from the standpoint of the length
of the college program, and the breadth of the program, but also
from the standpoint of the depth of the learning experience.

In recent years, other groups in increasing numbers have ap-
peared on the horizon. Individuals in this category combine all the
other groups and add the concepts of lime and space. To this group,
the college education means the procurement of experiences that
are definite enough to qualify them for jiarticipation in the space-
age economy. Such learning goes beyond memorization and mere
recall. It is articulated with the student's concept of the present
and the future constructed by the student.

As more and more students become aware of both time and
effort in relation to the present and the future, they will be con-
cerned about the quality as well as the quantity of the learning ex-
periences offered in college. There will be less satisfaction with the
pursuit of a type of learning that is cloudy and confused. Theory
and abstract learning, along with thinking and reasoning, will
appear concrete and definite to those expecting to live successfully.
Thus preparation today must consist of many dimensions.

The Periscope

Hypocrites Among Us

By Roscoe Camp

While discussing the subject
of jazz with some students on
the campus. I found that many
ot our so-called jazz enthusiasts
are fakes. Instead of writing
about the jazz enthusiasts of our
campus, I had to change my
intention and write about the
jazz hypocrites of the campus.

I discovered that this is the
case with some of the "jazz
lovers" on this campus. These
persons profess a love for jazz
without knowing anything, or
at best, with knowing little about
it. The frightening thing is that
many of them are not trying to
learn anything about it.

Do you think "the enthusiasts"
know anything about the great
pioneers of jazz like King Joe
Oliver, Jelly Roll Marton, Bunk
Johnson and C. C, Rider? These
fellows did not play the "cool
jazz" as we know it today. They
are to jazz what the T-Model is
to the Thunderbird-

Today jazz is cool, modern,

progressive and bop. And be-
lieve it or not, we have "jazz
enthusiasts" who are not aware
of the differences among the
types. To these people, Dizzy
Gillespie. Miles Davis, Kenny
Clark and Gerry Mulligan are
playing the same type of music.

Do you think the "jazz en-
thusiasts" on the campus know
that modern jazz started with
bop around 1945 and that with-
out bop, wouldn't be wJiere it is
today? They do not! Do they
know that progressive jazz made
its debut around 1948 and that
Stan Kenton receives most of the
credit for this? That in 1950 the
movement of cool jazz came into
existence and that credit for this
goes to Lennie Tristan and John
Lewis? In few instances were
the "enthusiasts" aware of these
facts.

If you would be a jazz en-
thusiast and not a jazz hypocrite,
learn something about it. please.
Perhaps in a later edition of the
Tiger's Roar. I can write about
the jazz lovers of our campus

Graduate in Biology
Does Quality Work

By Emily Chisholm
According to information re-
ceived by the department of
biology, the graduates of S,S-C.
who majored in the biological
sciences, are "holding their own"
In this competitive world The
following is a letter reporting
the quality of work that one of
our recent graduates is doing:
The University of Pennsylvania
THE HENRY PHIPPS
INSTITUTE
for the
Study, Treatment and
Prevention of Tuberculosis
Seventh and Lombard Streets
Philadelphia 47

August 19, 1958
Dr. Booker T. Griffith
Chairman, Biology Department
Savannah State College
Savannah. Georgia
Dear Dr. Griffith:

I am very happy to report to
you that Miss Ornabell Dawkins
has been doing excellent work In
the clinical laboratory of the
Henry Phipps Institute.

Miss Dawkins started work
here as a technician on January
20. 1958. She was quick to pick
up the methods which we use
and she had reached such a
degree of proficiency and re-
liability by July that it was
possible to trust her with the full
operation of the laboratory dur-
ing the vacation of the senior
medical technician.

We are very pleased with Miss
Dawkin's personality and quiet,
cheerful .spirits as well as with
her every day work.

Letter From the Edilor

Dear Student Body:

I feel compelled to comment
about ihe school spirit which is
being manifested at our college
this fall.

I beheve that the atmosphere
which has characterized pep
rallies, football games and
campus activities in general has
reflected a kind of school spirit
that would be. in the best sense.
representative of any college
anyhere ! At times, during my
previous years at the college. I
have felt that too many of us
were lacking in this respect.

Freshmen, though you have
been a part of this beloved In-
stitution only a short while you
have made known your loyalties
through your cheering at games
and through your fervent sing-
ing of the Alma Mater.

Fellow Students, I salute you!

Sincerely yours.

Julius L. Wilson. M.D,,
Director.

The above letter Is typical of
the type of information that Is
received concerning many of the
graduates of this Department.

The 1958-59 school year has
"gotten off to a good start" in
the Biology Department, as it
attempts to continue preparing
young men and women to work
in areas other than teaching.
Should some of you be Inter-
ested in vocations or professions
other than teaching, consult
.some of the students who are
majoring in biology at S.SC, as
well as the biology staff for fur-
ther information on job oppor-
tunities.

By James N Nevels
Upon relating the conditions
at home and abroad, the Peri-
scope reveals that the world is in
a state of well-known and seem-
ingly never ending perplexity.
GOVERNMENT
What does a cease-fire mean?
Tile man on the street says, "It
means we just aren't getting
anywhere like this." Let us stop
and talk about it. Let's talk
about Lebanon and Jordan, the
Middle East and Formosa, Let's
talk about Quemoy and Matsu.
The Cliinese Communists have
tried by force to drive Nation-
alists from Quemoy and Matsu.
Tlieir purpose is to gain control
of Formosa. They have tried
guns, and hard shell artillery,
but it didn't bring about defeat.
Now they are trying sweet talk
and sugar coated promises. Let
us hope that Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek and Peng Teh-
huai. Minister of National De-
fense for Communist China, will
be able to come to an agreement
which will give the free world
peaceful relief.

SCIENCE
Less than a year after the
United States sent its first
satellite hurling into space, an
attempt was made to shoot a
rocket to a predetermined height
never before achieved. The
rocket reached a height of 79.212
miles. The rocket's destination
was the moon. The Pioneer (the
name given to this space
traveler) came within a third of
the distance, and stayed up for
43 hours. The rocket was de-
signed to reach within 50.000
miles of the moon. In this it
failed, but ole Pioneer set a
precedent that may someday be
followed by manned air flight
to the moon.

LABOR
"Jesse" James Hoffa rides
again! This time the posse is led
by Sheriff George Meany.
Meany's aim is to drive Hoffa off
the labor range. Hoffa, head of
the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, is trying to create
labor pacts throughout the na-
tion. If he is successful, this will
make him a giant figure in
organized labor,

EDUCATION
Will "Have lesson, Will learn"
replace our favorite TV programs
in the near future? The Ford
Foundation is running a series
of experiments regarding educa-
tional teaching programs on
television. If this experiment is
successful, bright students will
be able to exhaust their abilities
and skills by supplementing
their regular classroom courses.
This will also mean that the best
Instructors will be available to
millions of students,
RELIGION
"Once he belonged to us, , . ,"
This thought must have run
through the minds of five hun-
dred million Catholics and
millions of other people as they
paid their respect to the holy
remains of Pope Pius XII in St,
Peter's Basilica,

Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Gio-
vanni Pacelli, 82-year-old high
priest, is now resting with his
260 predecessors. He was a holy
man, a political Pope, He was
brilliant, majestic and awesome.
This great man will long be
remembered. Yes, once he be-
longed to us. . . , "Now he be-
longs to the ages."

Robert Frost. Internationally
famous poet who is the Poetry
Consultant at the Library of
Congress, was interviewed at a
news conference. Mr, Frost gave
his views on modern poetry and
separated it into two classes.
According to Frost the first class
consists of that poetry which is
obscure, abstract and incompre-
hensive, . , , "This type," says
Mr. Frost, "is born dead." The
second type of modern poetry in-
cludes that which is written in
intelligible, clear, simple, easy-
to - read, easy - to - understand
language. This type is being
written Mr, Frost concluded.

Because of the ever growing
volume of the world's Chemical

The question "Why is it that
students make such little use of
the Alpha Kappa Mu Tutorial
System?" was asked several stu-
dents. They made these state-
ments;

Richard Fitzgerald, senior,
suggests, "The students may be
bashful and since the tutors are
also students, they may be re-
luctant to admit that they do
not know their subject matter."

Sammy White, senior, states
that "There are several students
who don't know the members of
the tutorial system and they are
too lazy to find out. However,
there are several students who
seek help from upperclassmen
who have the same major and
are not necessarily members of
the tutorial system."

Jimmie Colson, senior, in-
dicates "Many students may be
reluctant to secure aid from the
members of the tutorial system
because they feel the tutors are
not qualified."

Johnny Strong, sophomore,
says, "Perhaps the students de-
sire help, but don't know the
tutors."

Jessie Carter, junior, states,
"Perhaps some tutors do not In-
dicate by their attitudes their
availability for assisting stu-
dents."

Marlon Dingle, j unlor, feels,
"The students may think that
the tutors are too busy."

Delores Julian, junior, states,
"I don't know why the students
do not use the tutorial system.
The students In general should
be proud to accept the opinions
of other students who may have
something valuable to offer
them,"

THE TIGER'S ROAR

November. 1958

Tigers Enjoy
Good Season

By Eddie Bryant and
Roscoe Camp

Fullback Ulysses Stanley
staged a fine exhibition of pass-
ing, running, and brilliant de-
fensive work to lead the Savan-
nah State Tigers to a 24-6 vic-
tory in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Tigers scored three touch-
downs and completed two con-
versions. Other outstanding
Tigers in this game were Moses
King, Willie Batchelor, Floyd
Walker, and Lawrence WllUams,

A week later the Tigers racked
up their second win of the sea-
^:n defeating Florida Normal
College by a .score of 22-20. This
game was a thriller from the
jtart.

The Tigers, led by two good
quarterbacks. Roland James and
Samuel White, fought to weaken
the defense of Florida Normal
College. But this didn't stop the
charging Florida Tigers. Only a
conversion was the deciding fac-
tor in a hard fought game that

ended In Savannah State's favor-
Morris College, often thought
of as a hard team to whip,
proved to be "easy picking" for
our Tigers. With Moses King and
Ulysses Stanley in tip-top form,
the Tigers piled up 28 points
compared to 14 by Morris Col-
lege.

The Tigers out played the
Hornets of Morris College all the
way. Outstanding on defense in
this game were Jolly Stephens,
Leroy Brown. Willie Dukes, and
Hossle Harris-

Undefeated in three games,
the Tiger,') traveled to Columbia,
S. C, the 25th of October to take

Fashion Notes

By Emma Lue Jordan
Freshmen, here are some
hints concerning wardrobes from
upperclassmen to calm youi
jitters, if you have any.

What style should you weai
now that you are in college? How
large should your clothes budget
be? I have assembled these
wardrobe hints given by many
upperclassmen.

COATS: "This will be your
biggest item," says Gwendolyn
Riggs. a 19-year-old sophomore
who hails from Savannah. Geor-
gia. And versatility is the word
to describe it, Gwendolyn sug-
gests double breasted coat in
natural or dyed darker shades.
"I dress mine up with a hat and
it's fine for church or parties,"
she says.

A basic tweed or black coat is
Nellie Shellman's choice. Nellie.
a 20-year-old junior, is buying
a black coat for herself this fall.
SEPARATES: ''Keep the num-
ber down to a bare minimum,
says Minnie I'iuth Smith, an 18-
year-old transfer student from
Howard University, who remem-
bers the size of her dormitory
closet. And "Don't throw out
your high school sweaters and
skirts," says Pauline Jordan,
another sophomore. "Remember
no one else has seen them."

For additions to your sports-
wear, "buy a blanket plaid skirt
with matching top." says Caro-
lyn Stafford, who predicts she'll
see lots of bold bright outfits in
Savannah State's halls.

Bulky knit sweaters worn with
jumpers in chemise or empire
styles are the favorites of Kay
F. Hamilton, a 21-year-oid
junior.

There's less enthusiasm about
the new mohair knits. "One for
novelty is ail you'll need," Mar-
garet Burney. a 22-year-old
senior, has stated.

On campus, Juanita Baker, a
21-year-old senior, predicts she'll
see lots of tapered slacks and
crew neck sweaters For those
who like the unusual or are un-
comfortable in wool, there's
wide-wale corduroy, a heavy,
durable material back this fall
DRESSES WOOL: "This is
the college fabric for casual as
well as dressy wear," says Eldora
Manning, a junior who's 21.

"The empire, of all the new
styles, is most flattering to the
figure and dressiest as well,"
adds Gwendolyn Davis, who'll
wear her new empires to fra-
ternity parties this fall.

Most of the young ladies prefer
classic sheaths and full-skirted
styles, but recommend the new
fall colors: benedictine orange,
taupe, and moss green One
trasitional cotton, perhaps a
paisley print, is a must for they
are wary of our Indian Summer
weather at times.

THE TIGER'S ROAH

December. 195P.

Presi<Jpnt''s Message

The world in which we live today is one that puts a premium
on the new and the different. This tendency has been obvious in
the field of mechanics and industry for many years. It is now
becoming one of the most important trends in the social, the
economic, and the political areas. Our educational systems which
include our elementry. high schools, colleges, and graduate schools
are being called upon to provide the education and training which
will prepare people for such an age. It is important that college
students participate to the fullest extent in all aspects of college
life if they are to prepare for such a social order.

For the past two decades, schools have emphasized the fact
that the curriculum consists of the total experiences which in-
dividuals have in school under the guidance of teachers. That
factor has thrown new light on all aspects of our education. In
our colleges and universities, students learn many things which
are not taught in the classroom. The processes by which they make
their way through the colleges and the universities are ust as im-
portant as the facts, understanding, appreciations, and other things
which they get. The amount of thinking and reasoning that goes
on in the process is certainly one of the most important factors
in living today and preparing for the life of tomorrow and the
future.

It is interesting to note how many people can be assembled
when there is a complaint to be made. Almost every student is
interested in being present and in lending support to any move-
ment which undertakes to destroy or demolish anything that may
come up. Very often the nature and the type of item under con-
sideration is of such insignificance, that one wonders how so many
people are concerned. The ability to discriminate between those
things which are important and those which are insignificant is
an important sign of maturity and ability to think and evaluate.
If progress is to be made in the improvement of our society and our
living, college students must be expected to take the lead in thinking
through and evaluating all situations before taking active part.

Accepting a position of leadership in a college organization or
society should mean more than merely presiding at the meetings.
It should mean that the officers are planning, recommending, and
executing programs that will carry forward the aims and purposes
of the organizations. More attention should be given to the selection
of officers who have the ability, who have the interest, and who
have the desire to provide leadership that will help these bodies
become more effective in the development of constructive pro-
grams. It is not an idle dream to look forward to the day when
each organization in its own way will be able present to its group
and to the institution, programs that represent constructive think-
ing and planning. Many of the boys and girls now in college already
possess ability to do these things. The major problem lies in find-
ing someone who is able to take the lead and who is willing to
undergo the initial difficulties that come with the launching of
new programs It is expected that during the coming year and
future years of Savannah State College, the young men and young
women here will bring this desire and this view to full fruition.
One who moves about the college campus during the year of
1958 can see many opportunities for improvements in all aspects
of our college. As the physical plant, the faculty, and other aspects
of the college are growing and developing, we should expect com-
mensurate growth in all of our organizations, institutions, and
the general student reaction. Everywhere young college men and
women ought to be rising to meet the challenges which face them
in this new age and that which is coming at a very rapid pace.
It is too much to expect that leadership on the college campus
will be centered in any one organization or in any one or two
students. Many individuals are required to provide leadership in
the many different fields that exist. It has been discovered that
students and individuals have time to do any any of the things
which they earnestly desire to do. If meetings are necessary, time
is necessary, planning is necessary, then there are those who want
to do these things who have the time. Time is only one of the
factors. Another factor which comes Into the picture is that of
finance. Student bodies are able to provide through their own
activities and own programs, finances to run their programs. The
development of ability to finance organizations, to provide the
means by which they may be able to operate, and to provide for
the things which are for the common good, are signs of maturity
and signs of progress. When people are able to participate in the
financing of their own institutions, they are able to appreciate
their worth and to evaluate the matters which are brought before
them. Some thought should be given to this kind of planning in
the organizations, the societies, and other types of organized groups
here on the campus at Savannah State College.

The Periscope

By James N, Neveis
HUMAN INIEREST ITEM

(A "Bump" With Death)
"There are twelve of us in
here. Come and get us." These
words passed through a pipe
which was used to check escap-
ing gas in a fallen mine gave
vent to the feeling of the trapped
workers who had "bumped" with
death and seventeen hours later.
came up to tell the story. It
happened in a coal mining town
called Springhill, Nova Scotia. A
Cumberland mine entombed 174
victims in its underground
death-grip embrace, and only 19
lived to court again.

The Springhill mines had
taken lives before, but this was
the record smasher. The mines
give the Springhill town its
largest economical asset, but
bravery, pain, terror, and death
are the interest charged for
services rendered.

POLITICS

The Democratic party poli-
ticians swept the country with
a victory broom in the 1958 elec-
tion. The Democrats increased
their numbers in many of the
political spheres. In Congress,
the Democrats increased their
roll in the House of Representa-
tives from 235 to 282; in the
Senate, from 49 to 62. The Demo-
crats added 15 State Legislative
Houses and gained 5 additional
governors totaling 34 state gov-
ernors,

A new personality emerged out
of the 195a election. Republican
governor-elect of New York
State, Nelson Rockefeller, Rocke-
feller is being assessd as the
possible 1960 presidential candi-
date of the party. Althougii he
has said that lie does not choose
to become a candidate, the 51-
year-old governor is linked by
heritage with this great country
and may well find himself "top
man" in 1960.

GOVERNMENT

The 1958 Red germ spreads
again. Tne Periscope watched
tne Red germ contaminate the
Middle East and Asia. Now the
imperialistic disease is con-
centrated in Germany. However,
the man to watch is Willy
Brandt, the Mayor of West
Berlin, Brandt who is a Socialist,
is telling his people to stand
firm against the Red threat.
Russia's primary goal is to have
the Western powers recognize
East Germany as a world power.

The Periscope remembered the
last German crisis created by the
Russian blockade, but recent
firm offensive measures paid off
in the Quemoy crisis and the
same attitude can present itself
in the existing Berlin crisis in
Germany.

ENTERTAINMENT

The Periscope pays its respects
to a great actor and superb en-
tertainer. Tyrone Power, III. 44-
year-old American actor, died in
Spain from a heart attack while
making a movie. The late Mr.
Power was given a military
funeral at Hollywood Memorial
Park Cemetery.

Student Opinions

By Sara A. Reynolds

Several Freshmen students
were interviewed for the purpose
of obtaining their general
opinions concerning the ques-
tion:

What Has Been Your Favor-
able Impression of Savannah
State College:

The opinions given reflect the
impressions of a few students
who are beginning their college
careers and will be expected to
assume future college responsi-
bilities.

The following are the students'
opinions:

"My most favorable impression
is the friendliness of the student
body and faculty members of
Savannah State College,"

Irene E. Law

"My most favorable impression
about Savannah State College is
the fact that everyone seem to
be enjoying themselves, and
seem to be exhibiting much
friendliness toward each other."
Thelma M. Ready

"My most favorable impression
abuuL S.S.O. has been tne warm
miurmauLy wnieh exists between
lacuiiy and students, and the
spienoid relationship which
exists among the students."

Annette C, Kennedy

"My most favorable impression
of oavannah State College nas
been the part played by the
upper classmen and the mem-
bers of the faculty. They seem
to be interested in helping one
cnoose a vocation,"

The Pendulum
Swings

In every organized aspect of
lue, i,nere exists a form or
aiSLipiine. i n e individuals
euoaen as the executors of this
oiscipiine are selected according
to sirict criteria. Sometimes
mese individuals are motivated
uy an uncontrollable lust tor

A man ceases to be a man
wnen jn a situation he is found
to be wrong and refuses to ad-
mit and accept this proven fact.

Sometimes individuals suffer
neealessly because of pet peeves
or partial judgment on the part
of members of administering or
governing bodies. But fortunate-
ly, in a democracy, the govern-
ment gains its powers from the
consent of the governed. This
serves as counteraction for a
great many acts in addition to
the most cherished of all free-
doms, the freedom of speech.

The person guilty of malad-
ministration should not be
scorned or hanged in effigy, but
should be given understanding.
if the infraction is corrected. But
if not, each person involved
should join forces and through
the proper channels available
demand consideration and re-
sults.

Riots, unorganized strikes and
the like are products manufac-
tured by ignorant minds and
are not accepted in our society.
But organized protests are given
birth to by intelligence. To this
much allegiance is pledged.

If injustice is accepted in small
doses, these doses may soon in-
crease and may later become the
rule rather than an exception
to the rule. When this occurs,
freedom is preparing for a
permanent vacation. This type
situation robs good, sweet life of
all of its great worth.

Hearts who refuse to accept
injustice in any form merit
praise.

Almost every student has suf-
fered through this experience
you begin to read a text witl"
enthusiasm, hungry for enlight-
ment; after a few paragraph.-
you stop to look up an un-
familiar word in the dictionary,
then you check a footnote refer-
ence; tlien back to the diction-
ary. After reading several page-
in this manner, you suddenh
realize that you have no idea oi
the ground you've covered.

This, says a noted scholar in
the December Reader's Digest, is
exactly the wrong way to enjoy
or understand reading. Says
Dr. Mortimer Adler: almost any
book intended for the general
reader can be understood if you
approach it in the right way.
And the right way, he insists, is
to read a book through super-
ficially before you try to master
it.

Skip over the difficult parts:
read only what you can grasp
right away. Even if it's only 50
percent, chances are the light
thrown on the subject will lead
you back for a closer look.

In the article. "Hard Reading
Made Easy." Dr. Adler says that
most of us missed the joys of
Shakespeare's plays in high
school because we approached
them in too reverent a manner,
Teacher made us look up every
footnote, every archaic word. As
a result we struggled through
scene after scene of Macbeth,
Hamlet or Julius Caesar and
never realized what rattling good
melodramas they are.

Before you read any book. Dr.
Adler says, give it a fast once-
over. Look over the title page
and preface to learn the author's
approach and angle. Study the
table of contents, just as you
would a road-map before taking
a trip. Check the index for the
range of subjects covered. Look
up the phrases or chapters that
seem crucial. This may give you
the key to the entire book.

Book Review

By Kay Francis Stripling

Patrick Dennis has demon-
strated his boundless energy and
rare style of writing in produc-
ing Around The World With
Auntie Mame. Mr, Dennis, a
native of Chicago is a world
traveller and has managed very
effectively to make history in
the realm of literature that
evokes laughter in the reader, in
his latest novel. This novel is one
of three by Patrick Dennis that
has managed to be on the best-
seller list at this time,

The accounts of Auntie Mame
prove to be a successful attempt
at a variety of entertainment.
Throughout the story, there is a
hilarious mood in which any-
thing may happen. This mood
has both suspense and comedy.
Auntie Mame. "The deliciously
derelict heroine." takes the
reader along on rousing ad-
ventures. Her life is vividly de-
picted through her realistic per-
sonality, but her mind is closed
to the reader, because he never
knows what she might do next.

The plot itself is centered on
a phenomenally delightful travel.
Auntie Mame stars in the
Follies-Bergere" in Paris in a
tangle of dog hair and monkey
fur; she attends the London
Royal Garden Party which turns
into a fever-pitching panic that

throws her into the chivalrous
arms of an "honourable," She is
finally presented in court in a
"chiffon cumulus."

Auntie Mame is the object of
fortune hunters because she is
rich. Therefore, in the headlines
appear the following:
EXTRA! MADCAP i MILLIONS I

MAME MISSING. KIDNAP
PLOT FEARED

Auntie Mame, whose name is
really Mame Beauregard Jackson
Pickett Burnside, was widowed
in her "salad days" and again
becomes interested in family
affairs. Therefore, to Venice she
goes! She partys with German
Rabbis, French Cardinals and
Greek Poetesses.

Yes. Auntie Mame gets into
the Middle Eastern powder keg
too! However, slie finally takes
the long voyage home. But, home
to what? Well, her nephew Mr.
Patrick Dennis is not with
Auntie Mame on this trip, and
he and his wife are at home
longing for their son Michael
who for two and one-half years
has been going around the world
with Auntie Mame, on perhaps
another equally hilarious trip.

In his tenth year. Michael is
returned to his parents by Auntie
Mame who reminds him, "there
are some things that parents
simply don't have to know." And
with a "Bientot good-bye my

little love, it has been a lovely
trip," she drives off in her Rolls
Royce.

The personalities of Auntie
Mame and Dennis are supported
by varied atmosphers of the
countries in which tlie liilarious
action takes place. Patrick
Dennis has used a mixture of
styles in writing, but the
colloquial style is prevalent with
its short terse sentences that are
direct and attention-compelling.
The dialect and mannerisms of
the foreign countries are in-
jected very effectively to make
the reading atmosphere more
meaningful, and students of
French and Spanish should en-
joy recalling their "grandes
dames." "grosso coltellos" and
even their "frauleins" (German).

If you enjoy reading sparkling
comedy, then read the ad-
ventures of this "madcap"
guardian which begin on the
Normandie bound for Paris, and
end up on an American man-of-
war in the middle of the Indian
Ocean.

Fashion Notes

By Emma Lue Jordan

THE NEW ELEGANCE: There's
nothing like tlie walking suit for
foot bail occasions. Such lovely
ones were worn by many co-eds
at our recent homecoming game.
They could be seen in all of this
season's vivid colors luscious
bright reds, oranges, greens.
blues and other stained glass or
jewel tones.

The line sepaarting coats and
suit^ is less sharp than usual
with the introduction of the
walking suit. A favorite version
of the walking suit is in heavy
tweed, with a boxy tunic type
acktt, either three-quarters or
seven-eights length and a shawl
collar of fluffy fox fur. Often a
coordinate color blouse is equally
as pretty.

This is the fall to break out
of your rut, forget about the
good go-with-everything black
coat, and buy one in unabashed
lipstick red. electric blue, stained
glass purple or vivid olive green.

Coat colors haven't been so
brilliant for years, and this
year's shaggy, furry and loopy
textured fabrics of which mohair
is the style leader, are especially
suited to the intense tones. The
bright coat is a fashion leader
too because it combines so ad-
mirably with the simple but
memorable 'special) black dress,
usually shown in silk crepe,
which is just about the most
popular dress of 1958-59.

A little sad because we lost
our homecoming game to the
Clark College Panthers, but look-
ing lovely as ever, were the
young women of State at the
dance following the game.
Silhouettes in many brilliant
colors took the lead in dress
design. The young men also held
their own in dark and light
fabric suits of many styles.

Making a great appearance on
the campus in male fashions is
the "Ivy League" sport coat in
dark borwn or black with gold
buttons. The vest sweater, a twin
to that, of the opposite sex i3
also one of the latest fashion
notes in campus wear (or male
co-eds.

It has been said that fashion
is only as good as it is flexible.
Are you in swing with the
changes for the new college look?
If it's the fad . , . don't let it
go by. Now Is the time to try.
A variation from the new
fashions v/on't do.

Proper Breathin*; Is
Key to Belter Health

People who sigh a lot may not
need cheering up as much as
they need breathing lessons, an
article in the March Reader's
Digest reveals. Says author W.
P. Knowles: "Most of us are only
half -breathers. We breathe in
because we can't help it but we
fail to breathe out completely,"

The sigh, he adds, is nature's
way of deflating our lungs when
we don't do the job properly
ourselves.

Breathing out fully does more
than clear the lungs. It helps
clear the mind and prepare the
body for strenuous action. Next
time you turn the shower faucet
to "cold." for example, try
breathing out in a steady breath.
You'll find the cold-water shock

Savannah Stale Ti<;<'rs Dei'eal Albany
To Win SEAC Hasketball Crown

By Roscoe Camp

The finals of the annual SEAC Conference were played at
Albany State College, Albany, Georgia. February 19, 20 and 21. The
top teams in the SEAC Conference were present. First place
Savannah State Tigers shot their way to victory with wins over
Claflin University and Albany State College,

In the opening game of the semifinals, the Tigers found the
Claflin five an easy foe, defeating them 91-78 and qualifying for
the finals. Ira Jackson lead the way with 20 points.

After sweeping through the
semifinals, the Tigers tackled
the host team, Albany State, for
the title game. This was a hard-
fought game all the way. Again
that "sharpshooting" forward,
Ira Jackson, was high scorer
with 25 points as the Tigers de-
feated the Rams of Albany State
and captured the 1958-59 SEAC
crown. Willie Tate and Harlan
Lambert doubled for second high
with 20 points each.

The Tigers defeated the fol-
lowing teams to remain in first
place and qualify for the SEAC
tournament.

In the Wiley Gymnasium,
January 31, they rolled to victory
with a 104-58 win over Edward-
Waters of Jacksonville, Fla,, and
on February 7, they defeated
the mighty Rams of Albany
State College, 82-54, Then the
Tigers traveled to Augusta, Ga.,
where they defeated Paine Col-
lege on their own home court
by an extraordinary score of
114-75. In the non-Conference
bracket, the Tigers defeated the
powerful Norfolk State College
cagers 70-67 in a thriller that
was all tied up with four seconds
left to play.

Yes. the Tigers really had a
fruitful season. They were the
first place team in the SEAC
Conference from start to finish.
The nicest part of it all is the
same team will be defending this
crown next year, because the
majority of the Tigers are fresh-
men and sophomores. The only
seniors are Captain Roland
James and Moses King.

Dii Pont Representative
Addresses Students

By Sherman Roberson
Aivis S- Proctor, E, I, DuPont
de Nemours and Company repre-
sentative, was guest speaker at
a special assembly held Wednes-
day, February 11, In Meldrim
Auditorium of Savannah State
College.

Mr. Proctor, manager of the
Southern District of the DuPont
Company's Extension Division, is
an experienced public speaker
with a background of more than
17 years in education, retail
store management and industry.
He spoke on the topic
"Progress UnHmited." He pointed
out that there had been more
material progress in the 20th
century than in all previous
history. He stated that progress
does not just occur, but it is
brought about by gifted, dedi-
cated industrious people of that
type. Mr. Proctor posed the ques-
tion. "What new element, then,
was added to provide this tre-
mendous surge during the 20th
century?" Answering this ques-
tion, Mr. Proctor contrasted the
trials and sacrifices of yester-
day's lone wolf inventor with
the economic strength of to-
day's large corporation, which
enables them to bring together
teams of scientists, inventors
and technologists, to place them
in an environment of creativity.
to free them from economic
want and to put at their dis-
posal every device to bring their
projects to fruition. Mr, Proctor,
in conclusion, said, "We can en-
joy progress unlimited, so long
as we can preserve the freedom
of the individual, the freedom
of the team that pools the in-
dividual talents, and the free-
dom of the inventor to provide
the tools for the large and long-
term risks."

Dear Family:

Your student newspaper, The Tiger's Roar, can function only
with your help, cooperation, and participation. Your are impeding
the progress of your paper and preventing the paper from meeting
its deadline.

The Tiger's Roar is sent to many distant parts of the country

together. These principles apply to newspaper and other organ-
izations. The excellence of your paper will depend on how well you
carry out your responsibilities.

Sincerely yours,

SPELLED BACKWARDS-

THE OTHER WAY
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

All Heaxy Smokers Face
Certain Lun^ Cancer^
Surgeon Declares

A world-famed chest surgeon
makes a grim prediction in the
March Reader's Digest, Says Dr.
Alton Ochsner: "Every heavy
smoker will develop lung cancer
unless heart disease or some
other sickness claims him first,"
Of every 100 persons who develop
the disease, only five will be
alive five years later.

In an article condensed from
a publication of the American
Medical Association, Dr. Ochsner
tells author J. D. Ratcliff that
lung cancer's toll in the United
States has leaped from 2500 in
1930 to an estimated 35.000 last
year. Sigarette sales for the same
period rose in almost idential
proportion.

No self - respecting gambler
would accept the odds that face
lung-cancer victims. Of every
hundred cases. 45 are so ravaged
by the time they see a doctor
that surgery is a waste of time.
Another eleven die on the
operating table. Twelve more
have their chests closed without
further surgery after inspection
shows them to be hopeless; they
die within a few months.

The remaining 32 face one of
the most massive operations In
the usually delicate surgical
domain. Days of ain follow these
operations. Even worse, every
patient must endure at least
five years of agonized suspense
before he can be considered
cured. Only five of the original
100 victims survive these five
years.

The rapid growth of lung
cancer makes early discovery im-
perative. Every heavy smoker
over 40 owes himself the mini-
mum protection of having a
chest X-ray at least every six

An Of}en Letter

To the Cast of Antigone;

The pink, winking, blinking
sparkle of the jewels you pre-
sented me last week brought
bright ears to my eyes.

According to reports. Antigone
was successful. Few know how
much you went through to
achieve your wee moment of
glory and make ready an hour
of beauty for the devotees of
Thespis.

You yourselves do not know
the trepidation we felt when we
surveyed a cast including seven
freshmen and we groaned. Oh,
Antigone! Why in the world a
Sophoclean tragedy? Why?
Why? And then came the in-
spiring words of Browning:
*. . , a man's reach should ex-
ceed his grasp. Or what's a
heaven for?"

And aspire you did all of you.
You Haimon, with your hint of
a lisp that almost disappeared
on the Big Night. You Ismene of
the soft sweet voice. They'll
never hear you in the last rows.
I shouted to you during the
mounting rehearsal. You Sentry,
girl who took on a man's role
at your own suggestion and did
it well. You Chorus, with whom
I fought nightly, and who never
acted badly toward me as I often
did toward you.

You Messenger, who rushed in
at the last minute and learned
your lines in the blinking of an
eyelash. You Tieresias. who made
me try the quavering voice
which gave me a sore throat for
days. Yet you did it night after
night. You, little Michael, boy of
Thebes who came to rehearsals
on time though you had only a
walk-on. You Creon. Ah. Creon,
from the first you had little need
of me (except for the r'sf, for
you were Creon.

And you, Antigone^you of the
golden throat- I remember when
first I heard that haunting voice.
You were saying hello to another
student. I heard and was capti-
vated for all time. Yes, Antigone,
you of the mellifluous tongue,
you made me weep at last as
you had promised.

You. O cast of Antigone, you
gave me jewels more sparkling
than any other that day I heard
the small son of my house rant-
ing: "Money! Money! There's
nothing In the world so demoral-
izing as money." The days when
students whom I had never seen
paused a moment to chat in-
telligently about Attic drama.
When Dr. McCullough's students
showed interest in the Oedipus
Rex, a movie done with the giant
masks and buskins of the old
Greek arena.

When the toreador fails to
waive the muleta, when the
arena-goers forget to shout Ole!
then shall I forget you and your
Antigone.

Only then, too, will I forget
the splendid cooperation we re-
ceived from all quarters of our
great College. Wherever we
asked, they helped. And some
came forward unasked, bearing
assistance as if it were a golden
chalice. Thanks to all of them.
And, above all, cast of Anti-
gone and everyone who stood
behind you, you kept the shining
faith our beloved president has
in you and in our College. You
and your fellow-students do not
realize, I sometimes think, how
deep and abiding Is his faith in
you. Our students are as good as
students anywhere, he will say
often In a faculty meeting. They
can achieve, he Insists. And
sometimes we pedagogues half
smile, remembering the misspell-
ings and the errors in punctua-
tion. But you, cast of Antigone,
brought tangible, ineffaceable
evidence of his serene assurance
that we at Savannah State Col-
lege have great potential for
utmost growth and development.
And so, cast of Antigone,
thank you again for the jewels.
But you are my real jewels my

"Aiitiijoiie" Draws
Sludenl Opinions

By Yvonne McGlockton
Recently. Antigone, a Greek
drama by Sophocles, was pre-
sented on this campus. To get
student reactions to the play the
following question was asked:
"What is your general reaction
to the play, Antigone, that was
recently presented by the Col-
lege Playhouse?"

The following reactions were
received:

Lucille Lawton. sophomore: "I
think the play was excellent. I
feel the students on this campus
should be exposed to more ac-
tivities of tliat nature."

Benjamin Harris, senior: "I
think students really appreci-
ated the play."

Rosalyn Scurdy. junior: "I
thought that the costuming was
excellent and the characters
portrayed their parts very well."

Mamie Green, freshman: "I
think the performance was
spectacular. Even though it was
a tragedy, it had just enough
humor to make it realistic. I also
think that Creon's voice and
costume possessed a touch of
royalty."

Cynthia Toney, freshman: "All
of the characters were good and
Creon was especially good."

Mable McPherson, senior: "The
most inspiring thing to me was
the way that tlie characters
portrayed their parts. I think it
was terrific for amateurs."

Alvin Collins, senior: "I
thought it was the most colossal
play that has been presented
since I have been here. The
actors seemed very much at
ease,"

Herbert Williams, senior: "I
like serious dramas. Therefore I
liked Antigone. I think that in
the future there should be a
variety of plays including all
types.

Harry Richardson, sophomore:
"The play was one of the best
I have ever seen. I tike plays of
mixed emotions. I feel that that
kind of play should be con-
tinued."

Winifred Hopkins, freshman :
"I think, on a wliole. the play
was good. In some parts it was
very good and some of the actors
were marvelous. The actors who
especially appealed to me were
Creon, Antigone, and Heimon.

Margaret Dawson, sophomore;
"Well, I think it was very well
prepared and presented. I
especially enjoyed Eva Boseman,
who portrayed 'Antigone.' In my
estimation she did as well as
anyone could have done."

Nathaniel Brown, sophomore:
"I thought the play was very
good as well as educational. It
showed how sometimes power,
if used unwisely, can corrupt a
city."

Eleanor Johnson, sophomore:
"I think that it was nice in that
it was fostering the cultural
program that has been in-
stigated at this institution."

Mildred Gissentanner, junior:
"I am a lover of Greek drama.
The play was very enjoyable and
the performance was magnifi-
cent. The characters seemed
very relaxed and acquainted
with what they were doing. I
think there should be a repeat
performance,"

Thomas J. Farlon, freshman:
"It was pretty nice in my
opinion. I think it was enjoyed
by all who attended."

Dorothy Harden, freshman: "I
enjoyed the play. It brought out
the fact that it is not always
wise to judge people too quickly.

Lul Guyton, junior: "I liked it

The Periscope

By James N. Nevels
"On Leave of Absence"

The place is Walter Reed Army
Medical Center, Washington,
D. C. The man is John Foster
Dulles. Secretary of State, and
the condition is cancer (located
somewhere in the lower ab-
domen i.

For six years Mr. Dulles has
geared the United States' foreign
policy and is known as the most
traveled Secretary of State in
United States history,

John Foster Dulles was a
major in World War I, an in-
ternational lawyer during the
early twentieth century, United
States International Advisor
during the Truman Administra-
tion, and as Secretary of State
under the Eisenhower Adminis-
tration, he rates high on the list
of the world's dedicated states-
men.

Cancer is not a new enemy to
the Secretary, because he under-
went surgery in 1956, and now
his hope of recovery depends on
his bodily reaction to radiation
therapy. The disease is destroy-
ing his glandular tissues, and
his response to radiation treat-
ment is slow.

President Eisenhower has
asked for the nation's prayers
that recovery will come quickly
to the "traveling man." who is
now "on leave of absence."
The BerUn Crisis

Nikita S. Khrushcliev plans to
transfer the Soviet's position as
joint occupiers of Berlin to the
East German regime, and the
United States and her allies are
planning a "Big Four" confer-
ence negotiation over Germany
reunification.

Moscow has set up a Pankow
puppet in Germany and has
transferred authority to the
Pankow regime. According to the
Soviets, by May 27 the West will
have to deal with the East Ger-
mans in transporting supplies
to and from Berlin. According
to the Soviets, a refusal may re-
sult in a world war.

The Soviets plan to dissolve
the postwar agreement, which
gave the United States, France
and Great Britain the right to
occupy Berlin. Now, Moscow has
issued a formula demanding the
allies to withdraw their forces.

The aim of the United States
and her allies is to unite the
split Berlin territory by negoti-
ation on a "Big Four" level for
reunification.

A Labor Threat

The Kennedy-Ervin Bill and
the Administration Bill are the
only serious attacks against
Labor since the Taft-Hartley Act
of 1947, The bills attack un-
curbed union power. However.
the Kennedy-Ervin Bill tends to
increase the power of unions and
their supervisors. One provision
to the bill increases union power
over a larger number of super-
visors and places more power In
the National Labor Board.

The Administration Bill has a
provision which attacks "black-
mail" picketing. "Blackmail"
picketing is picketing by those
people representing neither the
striking union nor the manage-
ment suffering the strike.
Periscoping the Business World

The industrial unions are
losing their membership volun-
tarily while the craft unions are
apparently in good shape. The
United Automobile Workers have
dropped over 100 paid staff

The biggest star of the 1959

young John Thomas of Boston
University, who has twice
jumped seven feet indoors. This
is comparable to a three and
one-half minute mile or a nine
second hundred yard dash- , . .
The longer Wilt Chamberlain
plays basketball with the Harlem

pany marketing staff. ... It has
been predicted that Sugar Kay

New Haven, Conn. (l.P.)

Pointing out that New Haven
College has a curriculum which
reflects probably more than most
community colleges in the nation
the growing "frontier of com-
munity education," President
Marvin K, Peterson stated here
recently that "our curriculum
for the spring term of 1959 is one
that couldn't possibly have been
envisaged by the men who
founded our college just 38 years
ago."

He cited new courses being
offered for the first time this
spring by the college, such as
one in nuclear metallurgy,
another in scientific illumina-
ticn. the two transistor courses
already being given both in new
Haven and in Ridgefield, a tele-
vision techniques workshop, and
others.

Community colleges across the
nation, he said, are faced with
a growing need to expand their
curricula to provide education to
adults as well as the young.

This is Ira Jackson as he scores two points for the Tigers. Number 21 is Kedcll Walton witli
his eves on the ball. Jackson was high scorer in the SEAC Tournament.

Redell Walton, fi' 1 210-lb. forward, shows form that helped him score 287 points for the Tigers
this season. Walton was the high scorer for the Tigers. He was elected to the all SEAC Conference
team for outstanding performances during the SEAC Tournament.

This is Lawrence "Cuff" Williams as he shoots his favorite hook shot. Number 7 is Alphonso
McLean charging in for a possible rebound.

This is Willie Tate as he scores two points against ClafHn University. The Tigers defeated
Claflin 66-59.

"Home Economics Division high-
lighted the fiftieth anniversary
of Home Economics through the

Jiiiunie Colson
Delivers Address I

By Sherman Roberson ^

Jimmie D. Colson, senior, was
the main speaker on the all-
college assembly program, pre-
sented by the Alpha Iota Chapter
of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority,
Incorporated, February 27, in
Meldrim Auditorium.

Jimmie is a native of Perry.
Georgia, and is a graduate ol[
Houston County Training Schoo
of Perry, Georgia. She is major-
ing in Mathematics and minor-
ing in General Science, and!
holds office in the followingf
organizations; Secretary, Senior^
class; Anti Basileus, Alpha Iota~
Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho
Sorority. Incorporated; Secre-
tary. Natural Science Club;
Secretary. Pan Hellenic Council;
Secretary. Dormitory Council and
others.

Jimmie spoke on the topic,
"Youth Wins Its Way." She set
forth the proposition that one
of the faults attributed to the
youths is failure to acknowledge
previous mistakes. According to
Jimmie. two wrongs do not make
a right. She presented example
to support the idea that if youth
refuses to acknowledge previous
mistakes and fails to correct
them, it is then making another.

"Youth supposes, age knows,"
said the student speaker, and
the modem versions, "Young
men think old men are fools, but
old men know young men are
fools."

In conclusion, she asked her
audience to ask themselves.
"Where are we going?" Also to
consider whether or not what
they are pursuing is really what
they want. She asked that all
should remember the import-
ance of youth in relation to the
home, the school, the church,
the community, the nation and
the world.

The speaker stated: "Youth
wins its way, pausing a while,
but not to stay."

A .solo entitled "My Task," was
sung by Delores Wright, and
Eugene Hagins accompanied her
at the piano.

drama of Sophocles, proved to be
most interesting in both forms:
reading and viewing. The actors,
in the dramatization, so vividly
portrayed their roles that I could
not help appreciating it more
than I did the reading. Creon's
costume added such a regal air
to his portrayal, and his voice
had a touch of royalty.

Each actor possessed dis-
cernible characteristics. In Creon,
I saw greed, arrogance, and un-
yielding determination. Even
when he knew he was wrong,
his pride would not allow him to
retract his vow. He felt that his
being king made him omnipotent
and his decisions were not to be
questioned,

Antigone depicted courage,
faith, and determination. She
felt that it was the will of the
gods to have her brother buried,
so she defied the king. She nobly
confessed her deed, and bravely
she accepted the death penalty,

Haimon loved his father, but
his love for Antigone was
greater; so he tactfully asked his
father to release Antigone. When
he realized that his talk was use-
less, he pierced his side; and
with his dying strength, he
gathered Antigone close to him.

Ismene was meek and a bit
pretentious- She tried to talk
Antigone out of burying Poly-
neices. When Antigone was sen-
tenced, Ismene, out of duty or
the fear of being alone, offered
to join her sister in her death;
but Antigone nobly rejected her
offer. Ismene accepted the re-
jection with what I believe was
a feeling of relief.

Though Euridice appeared only
once, she seemed to be meek and
dominated. Rather than trying
to talk with her husband, she
submitted herself to death.

The other characters were
rather wise, but fearful. They
knew Creon was wrong, but they
waited too late to express them-
selves.

The play was well-cast, and I
commend Mrs, Upshur, Mr, Holt,
and all who made the produc-
tion a remarkable one, I shall
long remember both forms of the
play; for although it was tragic,
there was just enough humor to
make it realistic. The perform-
ance was really spectacular.

Preview of
Spring Fashions

By Toledo Riley

If you know your own mind
and like to express it in the way
you dress, take a few tips from
this forecast for Easter:

For milady, the excitingly
fresh, and deliciously new styles
are the beautiful pastel colors
of mint green, pink, plum-
purple, antigria white, orange,
melon, turquoise and peacock
blue.

Slim sheaths, alone or jacket-
topped, for two completely
different looks; or the smart
new, and above all, three-piece
costume suit with a cropped
jacket, slim skirt, and a printed
blouse, which peeps out from
under the cropped jacket, are
the leading fashion columns
from Paris to America.

To top off these enticing out-
fits are hats in all variations
the little draped affairs, big
combinations, flowers, fruits,
overlays of chiffon, and the
simple straw brims.

If you are one for having the
feet in the open, this is the
spring for it! Wear a little less
shoe with a lot more glamor.
Wear shoes that are closed at the
toe, but open any-and-every-
where else. These designs are
the newest thing in shoes since
pointed toes. The shades are
plum -purple calf, pink, melon.
grapefruit, bone, peacock blue,
and the ever-popular black
patent.

The new look for the gents is
the "Continental Look," The
coats are cut higher and rounded
just below the waistline. The
pants are worn shorter than the
regular length . Although the
continental look is new, nothing
can replace the dominant "Ivy
League" with those neat Stacy-
Adams shoes to correspond with
the suit.

New Library To House 60,000 Volumes

By Sherman Roberson
The half million dollar library that is under construction on tlie
Savannah State College campus is rapidly nearing completion. This
modern structure will house some 60.000 volumes, representing all
areas of study and research.

Among the new books to be
added to the library are several
of the most recent acquisitions
in science. Earth Satellites by

Patrick Moore. The desire to set
up artificial moons to circle the
earth is no longer a product of
the imagination. And now that
the launching of such bodies is
actually taking place, it is
dominating much public con-
cern and attention. Although
much technical information is
available on this subject, the
non-specialist reader often finds
that it is beyond his compre-
hension.

Here. Moore has attempted to
give a general view of what is
taking place so that after read-
ing his work, the interested on-
looker will find it easier to un-
derstand technical expositions,
Brighter Than A Thousand
Moons, by Robert Jungk. This
work is a personal history of
atomic scientist based on con-
versations with the chief partici-
pants from Poland, Germany to
Australia and Japan, and on a
c'ollection of American official
documents and transcripts.
Atoms and People, by Ralph E.

Lapp. This is the work of an
atomic scientist who speaks of
the outstanding events and
personalities of atomic history in
this non-technical account for
the layman, Eisenhower's atoms-
for-peace proposal, the perils of
nuclear warfare and the gradual
slowing down of the atomic race
by means of international con-
trol are all discussed.

Atoms At Your Service, by
Henry A. Dunlap. In this book,
an attempt has been made to
present the basic information
about the atom; What it is and
how it acts in the liberation of
energy. The author includes the
story of the Atomic Energy Com-
mission, the role of Congress, the
role of private industry and also
the international aspects of his
subject. Guided Weapons, by
Sric Burgess. Here, the author
has attempted to introduce the
reader to fundamentals, both
historical and technical, on
which guided missies are based.

This is only one of the many
ways that Savannah State Col-
lege, under the leadership of its
President, Dr. William K. Payne,
keeps pace with the changes of
modern living.

Fraternity, the Natural Science
Club, and is the treasurer of the
Senior Class. His hobbies are
playing cards, listening to jazz
records, and dancing. He is a
mathematics major and plans
to work for the government
after graduation. It is an honor
to add Leroy Brown to the ever-
growing list of Spotlight
Subjects.

The Spotlight

By Ernestine Hill
He has all brawn and no
brains! Have you ever lieard this
stereotype used? I am sure that
most of you have, Thas has been
proved wrong however, for you
will find tliat brawn does ac-
company brains and that some
of the best students may be
athletes. One athlete of whom
our school should be especially
proud is Leroy Brown, a senior
and a native of Savannah, Geor-
gia.

Leroy, a quiet, serious-minded
young man, was honored at the
Honor's Day program for main-
taining a two-point average for
three consecutive quarters. He
made first team on the all SEAC
Conference football team, and
was Savannah State College's
choice for the Pittsburg Couiler
"All American Award."

He is a catcher on the Tiger's
baseball team and a guard on
the football team. Brown is a
member of the Kappa Alpha Psi

Brooklyn, N. Y. (I.P.) By-
laws concerning nominations of
Polytechnic Institute students to
"Who's Who Among Students in
American Universities and Col-
leges" have been passed by the
Student Council. To be eligible
for nomination to "Who's Who,"
a nominee must have a cumula-
tive average of at least the all-
men's average of his class loss
ten per cent. For the class of
'59. the required average is 2.25.
In addition the nominee must
have:

Leadership and/or responsi-
bility in offices he has held;
versatility, Indicated by breadth
and interest of activities; leader-
ship ability and use of this
ability; exemplification of the
highest standards of leadership;
justification of responsibilities
of jobs he has held; and diversi-
fied activities and outstanding
leadership ability in these ac-
tivities. A candidate must also
show promise of future useful-
ness in offices he has just be-
gun to hold.

Proper Breathing Is

(i.nnfiuiirif Irnni I'a^r 11

far less chilling than usual. The
strain of any difficult job can
be minimized by breathing out
slowly and fully before you start.
It can also insure your staying
awake in church.

Proper exhaling requires prac-
tice, the Digest article says. One
of the best ways to establish the
habit involves reading aloud. Try
reading a favorite story, count-
ing the words you can say in one
breath. Tomorrow try to increase
the amount. After several days
you may double your count.

Another good exercise is
counting alound. Breathe in
gently to the count of four.
Pause a second and then exhale
to the count of twelve. Next time
breathe in to the count of five,
exhale to fifteen. As the count
gets longer, try humming as you
exhale. This will help you con-
trol the amount of air you expel.

By making controlled breath-
ing a habit, says Knowles, we
can increase our awareness, im-
prove our posture and enlarge
our body capacity.

The article. "Do You Really
Know How to Breathe?" is con-
densed from Today's Living, the
Sunday supplement of the New
York Herald Tribune.

liked James Nevels as Creon."

Annie Owens, senior; "I think
it was masterfully done. It
seemed so realistic."

Juanita Baker, senior: "I think
it was very good."

Joe Sweet, senior: "I think the
student body understood and
appreciated the play."

From the various opinions re-
ceived, I think that we should
take our hats off to the play-
house for a splendid perform-
ance that was enjoyed by every-
one.

Laramie, Wyo. (I.P.) The rule
passed last year by the Univer-
sity of Wyoming's Faculty Social
Committee prohibiting off-
campus "atmosphere" dances
has been amended, according to
an announcement by Dean of
Women E. Luella Galliver, com-
mittee chairman.

The new ruling states 'atmos-
phere dances are to be cleared
by the social committees (both
student and faculty) two weeks
before the dance is to be held
and. whenever possible, they are
to be held in the chapter
houses." The social committees
and the Inter-fraternity Council
both feel this new ruling is much
better than the previous one
which stated that atmosphere
dances were to be held in
chapter houses, commented
Dean Galliver.

"The first ruling was also
rather ambiguous when it stated
that the dances had to have
special clearance by the .social
committees. In the latest reso-
lution, the social committees
are defined both student and
faculty," .she stated, upon re-
ceipt of the petitions from the
fraternities. Dean Galliver will
mail copies of the faculty and
student members of the commit-
tee for their approval or dLs-
approval.

Dr. McDew stated that the
symtoms of this dread disease,
discovered in 1910 by a Dr.
Herring and pointed out that a
lack of knowledge of this disease
has hindered medical science in
its efforts to obtain a cure for
sickle cell anemia.

He entertained questions from
panelists as well as the audience
and suggested that an annual
checkup is a must, for it is
highly possible that one may
contract this disease without
knowledge of it.

Dr. McDew praised the chapter
for attempting to avoid the Sa-
vannah State College family
with information concerning
sickle cell anemia.

Student Council Prexy
Travels to Albany

Willie Hamilton, President of
the Student Council of Savan-
nah State College, traveled to
Albany State College, Albany,
Georgia, and participated in its
Co-etiquette Week activities
which began on April 9, 1959.

"Take A Look at Yourself" was
selected as the general theme
of this program sponsored by the
Women's League and the Men's
Senate of Albany State.

Among the colleges and uni-
versities represented: Florida A
& M University, Tallahassee,
Florida; Port Valley State Col-
lege, Fort Valley. Georgia; Sa-
vannah State College, Savannah.
Georgia and the host institution
Albany State College, Albany,
Georgia.

Hamilton participated on a
panel discussion entitled "As
College Students, Should We Be
Concerned About Social Graces?"
and also on a dormitory discus-
sion entitled "Very Personally
Yours" for men only.

According to Hamilton, it was
agreed that college students
should not merely concern them-
selves with social graces but
practice them and make them a
part of their daily living.

The keynote speaker of these
activities was Mrs. G. W| Gore,
Jr., wife of the president of
Florida A & M University, Talla-
hassee, Florida.

Presidenfs Message

During the twentieth century in the Western world man has
learned to make an unusual variety of almost everything needed
and used. There are many brand-named products and many prod-
ucts which appear very similar to the brand named. In ahiiost
every instance, one is able to find several grades of the same item
which on the surface seem to be alike. The concept of quality in
these items is above all things, very hazy. Too often the general
public is unaware of the fact that there is any difference in
quality. Unfortunately, this hazy concept of quality has been
carried over into education. One often thinks that elementary
school education, high school education, and college education
mean the same respectively everywhere. The stress of our time
and I he problems which we face are beginning to reveal that all
grade levels in our educational system are not of equal quality.
Our effort to provide education for all has not been accompanied
by similar effort to provide quality in whatever education offered
at the respective levels.

The improvement of the quality of education in our colleges
may well be one of the major objectives for the college faculties
and the college student bodies. The quality of instruction and
learning is determined by both teacher and student. Teachers who
provide instruction that is aimless or short-sighted may merely
add to the confusion that exists as to the quality of education
being provided. Students who make haphazard preparations, who
make studying and learning a matter of routine fail to reach a
point where their abilities are strengthened and extended. The
quality of education which a student gets for himself, to a large
extent, will be determined by his own efforts in almost every case
irre.spective of the course grades which the student receives. The
quality of learning can be improved two or three times beyond
the present grade obtained by the students. Students who are
interested in the quality of their education may try an experiment
for one quarter. Such experimentation would reveal some of the
deeper meanings of quality in learning and education.

Four Simple Rules Can Improve
Your Memory for Names and Faces

With four simple rules, you can train yourself to become
virtually infallible at remembering names, says an article in the
April Reader's Digest.

Author Frederic Sondern, Jr., points out that forgetting names
can cause more than temporary embarrassment; it may cost you a
pleasant friendship or a profitable business contact.

Politicians, businessmen and
others in pubUc life recognize
this fact and work at the busi-
ne5S of remembering names.
General Eisenhower once im-
pressed a group of French mili-
tary leaders by remembering
their names even though he had
met them only fleetingly years
before. Former Democratic Na-
tional Chairman James Farley
has estimated that he has in his
mind the names, faces and back-
grounds of 20,000 people. Former
President Harry Truman. F.B.I.
Director J. Edgar Hoover and
hotelman Conrad Hilton are
others whose ability to remem-
ber names has been an im-
portant factor in their success.

The four rules for remember-
ing were formulated years ago
by Dale Carnegie. They are
based on his belief that ac-
curate memories are not neces-
sarily gifts, but can be taught
just like other skills. The rules
are:

Get the Name Clearly When
You Are Introduced. If the name
13 not clear, ask the introducee
to repeat it. But don't ever ask
a third party present^he may
not know It himself.

Give the Name a Chance to
Sink Into Your Mind. The best

way to do this is to repeat it a
few times in the ensuing con-
versation.

Learn the Face While You
Are Learning the Name Look
at the face, the posture, any
distinguishing marks. Learning
to associate names and faces will
make remembering easier.

Try to Make a Mental Picture
to Cement Name and Pace To-
gether. The author says one of
his favorite ways of doing this
is by making up a rhyme about
the person. For example; "Mrs.
Farnum should be with
Barnum." It may not be true,
but it will cement Mrs. Farnum's
name and face in your mind.

Another way is to create a
picture of the person doing
something associated with his
name. Mr. Hamilton, for
example, could be pictured as a
human head with a ham's body,
weighing one ton.

Learning these mental tricks,
says Sondern, can be much more
than a pleasant way to improve
your mind- It can pay dividends
in term.s of improved business
and personal relationships.

The article. "You Can Remem-
ber Names," is condensed from
Christian Herald.

Tiger's Roar office. We are happy
to make mention of your happi-
ness.

Dear Students:

Beauty means one thing to
some, and another to others, but
any one of us experiencing that
which to him is beautiful must
therefore pause an give respect
to it. Sometimes a blush on a
co-ed's cheeks creates beauty,
or the green grass upon which
she is standing, then perhaps,
it is the gray wavy moss sus-
pended above her head. Yet. it
could be the vegetable giants
enfolding their leafy arms to-
war dthe heavens, giving rever-
ence to God, and providing
shady shadows around which
she moves.

Beauty has its special seasons,
which create different attitudes
and feelings. However, that
beauty which is attainable with
the summer months is striking
enough for us to pause, and to
respect. Therefore, let us not
take it for granted for fear it
may disappear. Let us use it for
fear it may become angry and
turn hidious in spite to our un-
attainted attitude. Let us keep it
clean for fear it becomes marred
in ugly retribution.

There is nothing more beau-
tiful than Clean-Observed, and
Revered beauty.

Yours truly.
JAMES N. NEVELS.
Associate Editor

Ex-Senator's Advice

to be a small cog in a big wheel;
and it's easy to find a safe
corner where there are few
risks.

"I have found young men
everywhere displaying a degree
of timidity that would liave lost
this country to the Indians not
so many decades ago," he says.

He points out that it was not
big business, but small, inde-
pendent businesses that built
this country's wealth. If growth
is to continue, such competitive
businesses must also continue to
grow.

Most people agree that men
who have started businesses of
their own are the most success-
ful. The risks are greater, but so
are the rewards. A small busi-
nessman can concentrate on
building up his business rather
than himself- He isn't limited by
the slogan, "Don't rock the
boat," wliich is so often an un-
spoken rule of big corporations.

Even more important is this
fact: if a young man has the
ability to make money, chances
are he'll make more on his own.
As his own employer, he gets the
employer's cut.

Even failing in business can
be a valuable experience. Many
young men have learned enough
from their failures to succeed in
a second or third try. And they
have a pride in their own busi-
ness that few corporations can
match.

The Perisc

ope

By James N, Nevels
The Berlin Issues

The question that is most im-
portant in the minds of the
American people today, because
of the serious consequences in-
volved if the answer should be
positive or negative is, "Should
the United States forces stay in
Berlin?"

There seem to be two alterna-
tives: knuckling under the Com-
munists threats, or risking an
all-out war. Both alternatives do
not offer a future stable
America. However. Eisenhower
has indicated firmness on stand-
ing pat in Berlin, According to
the President, if tlie alternative
is war. then it will be a nuclear
war. However, the President is
optimistic that the Russians do
not want to fight about Berlin,
and certainly all efforts will be
taken to avoid a possible World
War III.

Experts in a recent survey,
asked the American public how

it felt about the issues involved,
Tlie comments indicated that
the man-on-the-street would
rather risk a nuclear war, than
lose face in the Berlin situation
by retreating under the rant of
Khrushchev's threats.

Can We Stop Breathing
and Live?

The man-on-the-street is ap-
palled at the recent reports con-
cerning the increased amount of
strontium 90 in the atmosphere.
However, the Atomic Energy
Commission stated that radio
activity is still far below the
danger level, but the uncertainty
and doubt is mounting up, and
President Eisenhower has agreed
to disclose all facts regarding
radiation. Also, Representative
Chet Hatfield iCaliforniai, head
of the Joint Congressional sub-
committee on radiation, has
decided to have a full-scale fall-
out investigation.

Radioactive strontium 90 is
deadly, and a small amount con-
centrated in a single area may
kill or produce other hazards in
the form of cancer, tumor, and
lukemeia.

The Old Man Steps Down

The election year is 1961, and
after expressing his desire to run
a fourth time for Chancellor,
Konrad, Ai^nauer. 83-year-old
builder of Germany from her
post-war ruins, has decided to
relinquish his previous desire
and accept the presidential post.

The Chancellor has promised
his allies that the present Ger-
man policy will remain the
same. "A long period of uncer-
tainty is ahead." stated
Adenauer, referring to the sum-
mit meeting planned for the
summer.

The big question is therefore.
"Who will take the lead in weld-
ing Western unity and standing
up to Russia, while standing up
for peace?"

THE TIGERS ROAR

How to Find the
Right Eniploynieiit

Three points to consider in
finding the right job are dis-
cussed by Adele Lewis, president
of the Career Blazers Agency. 5
West 46th Street, N. Y. C. and of
the Adele Lewis Agency, 35 West
43rd Street, N. Y, C.

1. WHAT KIND OF JOB DO
YOU WANT

The ideal job for you is one in
which your special skills are used
in the field of your special in-
terests. Now that graduation
time is approaching, the serious
considerations of finding the
proper work become more press-
ing.

If you've majored in chemistry,
physics, teaching, nursing or
some other technical or pro-
fessional field, the choice is pre-
determined. You simply take the
best offer in your field. But, if
you're among those who have
received a Liberal Arts education,
your entry into the job world
becomes more complex.

If fashion is your forte, do
your abilities lie in the direction
of design? sales? modeling?
textiles? If words are your
medium, do you lean to writing
fact? fiction? ad copy? TV
scripts? Do you have the type of
mind that automatically cata-
logues and organizes? Do you
prefer working with people, or
are you at your happiest in
lonely, responsible surroundings?

The first analysis of your
abilities must be your own. Your
parents, teachers, studfjnt coun-
selors, even your friends can help
by frank discussion of the
qualifications you have to offer.
A competent career consultant
can confirm or re-direct your
own thinking and reconcile the
qualities which you have for sale
with the market for your serv-
ices. But first in importance is
establishing the objective. Aided
by whatever assistance is avail-
able to you, you must determine
the most practical compromise
between your wishes, your abili-
ties and the available opportuni-
ties.

2. HOW CAN YOU FIND THE
JOB

After this intensive self-
analysis, your next step is to
find the job that is most suit-
able to you. Let us warn you,
however, that flexibility on your
part is essential in the locating
of the right job. You may have
decided that you can only be an
editorial assistant, for example.
but with your background, it
may also be possible for you to
become a writer in publicity, a
researcher or some other allied
specialization.

Getting the job involves con-
tact with someone who has use
for your services either directly
or through the use of an inter-
mediary.

Aside from the "friend of the
family" approach, direct contact
with an employer can be made
most readily through the ''help
wanted" columns of your morn-
ing newspaper. Here are listed
specific job openings, containing
either a telephone number, an
address or a box number. Should
you find in these columns a list-
ing of an attractive job for
which you feel your are fitted,
it is well to answer without de-
lay. Such jobs are usually avail-
able on the day on which they
are advertised. The employer is
anxious to fill them promptly
and the number of replies he re-
ceives will most likely enable
him to fill the job without
referring to the applications of
latecomers.

The intermediate approach
may be made by your college
placement bureau, by a state-
operated bureau (such as U.S.
E.S.i or through the services of
a commercial career consultant.
In general, the difference in
function between the first two
and the latter is the viewpoint
of their approach,

An additional source may be

found with the private employ-
ment agency. A private employ-
ment agency screens the abilities
and requirements of the ap-
plicants and suggests various
job opportunities commensurate
with the applicant's abilities.
The employment consultant has
a wide range of jobs listed with
New York business firms and
works to find the job to fit the
applicant.

To help you in your own de-
cision, it might be wise to con-
duct a small survey of your
own, after surveying all the
sources that are available to you,
A little research can go a long
way. Chat with recruiting of-
ficials of visiting companies; use
your college placement and guid-
ance counselors for job informa-
tion; make a study of the want
ads in large city newspapers,
especially those listed under
"college graduate" ; visit with
some private employment
agencies to determine their ideas
on the possibility of placement
for you. When you have done all
of this, chances are that you
will begin to understand where
you may best be suited, and most
important, what is available on
the market that will give you
the greatest scope.

3, WHICH JOB WILL YOU
CHOOSE

If you are m the position of
choosing bteween two or more
jobs, the selection may not be a
simple one. And there again your
caieer consultant can be of
.service to you.

Considerations that now seem
of minor importance may loom
larger as your search continues.
Unless finances are of pressing
and immediate importance, the
serious career seeker will rate
starting salary as only one of
the considerations affecting the
choice- Finding a situation with
an employer whom you can like
an drespect and which offers
the incentive of expanding op-
portunity, will contribute more
to your continued satisfaction
than the minor difference be-
tween two starting salaries.

Since each individual assigns
differing relative importance to
specific circumstances, it is
difficult to place the right value
on which factors will prove im-
portant as your career works
out. Physical surroundings, con-
genial associates and the pres-
ence or absence of routine in
your assignments must all be
carefully weighed if a choice is
offered you.

Many factors enter into the
job decision. Sometimes you
know which job is right for you.
Other times you weigh such
essenuals as salary, working for
a large or small organization,
social contacts, travel conven-
ience, unforeseen demands on
your time. When these problems
arise, your consultant can prob-
ably provide simple and direct
guidance, for chances are, he
has worked with these firms
previously and can shed some
kind of knowledge on your
future role as an employee.

Lastly, the finding of a job is
a unique experience for you.
Others' experience may be help-
ful and may be influential, but
it is absolutely essential to bear
in mind continually that your
getting a job depends on what
you have to offer. We have run
into the problem of "wanting a
job exactly like that of a friend,"
Remember, you are not your
friend. His or her qualifications,
aptitudes, rapport with people
may be entirely different from
yours. Be aware that there is
that tiny factor of personal
chemistry that is sometimes the
deciding factor. And to enhance
that personal chemistry, it is
imperative that you look your
best, dress your best (simple-
well-tailored clothes I and ap-
proach a job with an humility
and a willingness to learn what
you can gain, and an under-
standing of what you have to
give.

Guide to Travel
Is Puhlished

The United States National
Student Association announces
the publication of the eleventh
edition of "Work. Study, Travel
Abroad," a comprehensive guide
to student travel. The CHRIS-
TIAN SCIENCE MONITOR had
this to say about the 1958
edition:

"The publication is so useful,
so comprehensive that all col-
lege students and teachers in-
terested in an overseas experi-
ence this summer or any time
would do well to secure a copy."

"Work, Study, Travel Abroad"
is divided into the three main
classifications of work, study
and travel. Subdivisions of the
travel section deal with tour
selection, advantages and dis-
advantages of tour travel as
opposed to independent travel, a
currency conversion table, pass-
port data, clothing hints, trans-
portation material, a listing of
inexpensive student hostels and
restaurants, and a listing of
festivals and special events in
Europe in 1959.

Under the study section, the
reader will find material on
summer sessions at European
universities, seminars, work-
shops, scolarships, and awards
for study abroad. Junior Year
Abroad programs, etc. Organiza-
tions sponsoring scholarships are
also hsted, and descriptive in-
formation concerning several
scholarships is given.

The Work section discusses
prospects of American students
for obtaining summer or perma-
nent employment abroad, the
restrictions involved, the
swindles and rackets to avoid,
and alt necessary information
for the student who is looking
for an exciting job abroad. A
listing of work camps and
voluntary work projects is also
given.

A special feature of this year's
book is a survev made by the
Maxwell School of Public Affairs
of Syracuse University, dealing
with the much neglected topic
of the preparedness of the stu-
dent traveler for his or her Euro-
pean experience,

"Work. Study, Travel Abroad"

Instiiiit Coffee t>riiikiii(r
Booms Despite Critics

Despite its detractors, instant
coffee has become a business of
about half a billion dollars a
year and now accounts for one
fifth to one third of all coffee
drunk In America.

"Never has a new food prod-
uct risen so fast to such success
as has instant coffee In the last
decade." writes Robert Froman
in an April Reader's Digest
article, "Coffee, This Instant
Upstart."

"And never," says the writer,
"has such a successful product
been so looked down on, even
by some of those who use It."
Some people say they use it
themselves because of its con-
venience but would never dream
of serving it to guests. Though
all of today's major brands of
instant are pure coffee, many
believe it contains other in-
gredients that affect its taste.

In 1938 instant coffee was little
more than a curiosity. Froman
recalls. Following Its wide use
by the armed forces during
World War 11, it slowly caught
on at home. In 1948 we used
about 70 million pounds of coffee
in this form, five percent of our
total coffee consumption. Since
then instant sales have zoomed
to some 500 million pounds in
1958.

Many instant fans insist that
making it a potful at a time is
the secret of getting the best
flavor. Others claim it should
be made double strength, or that
honey instead of sugar should
be used for sweetening. Froman
quoted Prince Talleyrand's
famous recipe for coffee "black
as the devil, hot as hell, pure as
an angel, sweet as love."

(17) roundly D: Vigorously;
severely; as, roundly condemned.

(18) abashed A: Embar-
rassed; disconcerted; as, "The
child was abashed when he
could not answer the question."

(19) tumultuous C: Pull of

Watch Out For
The Pink SHps

Have you received a pink slip?

Do not feel ashamed if your
returned examination paper, or
written assignment has a beau-
tiful pink slip attached to it.
The slip explains itself. It means
that you have neglected your
correct English, Whether it be
Science, History, Music or other
fields, written assignments em-
ploy words, and words are the
basic elements of English. Yet,
that is not enough. It must be
correct English,

It is the responsibility of the
Committee on College-Wide Im-
provement of English to make
students aware of their constant
errors in English through the
process of speaking and writing.
The Committee therefore, has
made arrangements with the in-
structors to watch for those
errors, and point them out with
the use of the pink slip method.

Other English improvement
methods will be presented by
the Committee, "We must em-
ploy preventive measures rather
than remedial ones." stated the
Committee, under the chairman-
ship of Dr. N- V, McCullough,
English Department head.

Students Enjoy
Fine Fihn Series

Androcles and the Lion, the

first film in the series, was
shown March 3, 1959. The crowd
was not large, but all who at-
tended enjoyed the marvelous
production. News got around
about the enjoyable movie, and,
as a result, more students were
present to see the second of the
series. The Scarlet Letter. This
time the crowd was favorable.

Several students were asked
how they enjoyed the two films,
and the response was. "I liked
both, but I liked The Scarlet
Letter more," They also agreed
that the series should be con-
tinued.

One student, who saw only
The Scarlet Letter, remarked,
"Such projects as the fine film
series should continue because
they enhance our cultural de-
velopment."

Another student remarked. '"I
enjoyed both films and I intend
to see everyone which is pre-
sented. I am sorry so many stu-
dents missed the first two, but
I hope they will see the remain-
ing ones. Such films are really
assets; they are quite helpful in
our humanities classes,"

Winner of Professor's

Robert H. MacDonald. a senior
English major at New York Uni-

S500 prize in Abelard-Schuman's

The contest was designed to

Yale Sliideiits Find
Indrpcndenl Tliou^hl in
Russia Despite Rulers

More than forty years of ruth-
less Soviet rule have not
squelched the Russian people's
capacity for independent
thought.

This is the conclusion of Yale
University student Charles Neff,
who toured the Soviet Union re-
cently with seventeen fellow
members of the Yale Russian
Chorus. In an article in the May
Reader's Digest, Neff tells author
Enno Hobbing that throughout
Russia, the young singers en-
countered people eager to learn
about the outside world.

Neff and his friends visited
Russia as students rather than
singers; thus they had no "of-
ficial" concerts scheduled. But
when their first impromptu song
delivered in a Leningrad hotel
met with enthusiasm from the
Russian listeners, they knew
they could safely sing their way
through the country.

Lively discussions usually fol-
lowed their concerts, Neff re-
ports. Peace wa sthe central
theme. With surprising fre-
quency the opinions expressed
by Russian citizens varied from
the "party line." When, for
example, some young Com-
munist officials began reciting
Party-line slogans, a group of
citizens shouted, "Oh. come on,
we've heard that before." Rus-
sian students attacked Marxism
on the same grounds on which
it is criticized in the West.

So deep is the Russians' de-
sire for peace, says Neff, that
some indicated they would stand
up to the Kremlin if it tried to
send them into battle. One
middle-aged worked declared:
"I will never kill a man again
except to shoot the officer who
tells me to shoot."

Religion is surprisingly vigor-
ous, Neff says. At least 200
babies were baptized in one day
in a Greek Orthodox Church In
Leningrad. The youth of the
worshippers. mostly young
parents who travelled from
nearby towns, belied the Soviet
claim that only the old cling to
religion.

Neff's conclu-sion: The Soviet
people are not about to revolt.
They are, however, critical of
their rulers often in a highly
vocal way. And significantly, the
criticism seerns to be increasing.

Savannah State Collegers Spikemen

The Savannah State Trackmen racked up enough wins to
capture second place hi the SEAC Conference meet, although the
meet was underway when they arrived. They were delayed because
of automobile trouble. The Tigers scored 31 points.

I'ins Football

Practice Underway

The Savannah State Tigers
gridiron is popping with activity
since the beginning of spring
football practice. Coach Richard
Washington gave his squad of
25 a light workout the first week.
But now that the conditioning
is over, the rough stuff has
started.

In looking over the squad one
can see quite a few letter men
returning. Among them are men
that contributed to the winning
Tigers of 1958. such as James
Bowen, a topflight lineman
from Albany, in his second sea-
son with the Tigers, John
Strong, a halfback and fullback
who is expected to do big things
for the Tigers this season. Strong
is from Albany, and is in his
third season with the Tigers,
Elijah McGraw, Savannah, a
two-time all conference winner,
and last year's captain, is at left
end, James Whatley, a flashy
halfback who was sidelined most
of last season from injuries, is
out there to make up for what
he missed.

Two freshmen who waited on
their big break last season, are
John Owens, a former Beach
High end, who because of his
speed was converted to half-
back, and Edward Reid, a quar-
terback from Beach High, who
on several occasions helped the
Tigers out of some rough spots.
These fellows are making a good
showing in spring practice.

Another newcomer who is
doing a fine job at quarterback
IS Leslie Stephens of Quitman,
with a little help this fellow
could be the added strength that
the Tigers' backfield needs.

champion, wrapped up the meet
with 80 points to regain the
SEAC Conference title. Albany
State was third with 30 points.
and Paine was fourth with 21
pomts.

Sammy White was first in the
high jump, with a leap of 5-9.
White placed second in the
broad jump while jumping 21
feet 5 inches. Willie Batchlor
tied for first place in the pole
vaulting with a leap of 12 feet-
Raymond Harper placed second
in the discus throwing.

Savannah Staxe's relay team
took first place in the 880 yard
relay, Ruben Tonibs placed sec-
ond in 440 yard dash. Sammy
White. Raymond Harper, Cleve-
land Holmes and John Owens
were the first place 880 yard
relay team. Jolin Owens, the
Tigers newest sprinster, missed
the 100 yard and 220 yard dash
by arriving late. Raymond
Harper. Terry Mays, George and
Ruben Tombs made up the mile
relay team that placed third.

SSC Baseball
Season Begins

The Savannah State Tigers
have begun practicing for the
1959 baseball team. The Tigers
are expected to have a winning
team this season. The team will
be coached by Coach Al Frazier

SSC Track
Season Starts

The "cinder-men" of Savan-
nah State College, have begun
workouts, under the direction of
Coach Theodore Wright. The
Tigers are expecting a fruitful
season. It is predicted that they
can take the SEAC track crown.
This could be very possible with
such outstanding speedsters and
high jumpers as Sammy White
and WilUe Batchlor returning
after a winning season last year.

Sammy White set a new SEAC
record with a 6 foot leap in the
conference tournament last sea-
son. White also does a terrific
job on the high and low hurdles.
Willie Batchlor is a pole vaulter
who was a winner on many oc-
casions last season.

Coach Wright is quite satis-
fied with some new members of
the track team, especially in the
performances of John (Breeze)
Owens, a speedster from Beach
High School. Owens runs the
100 yard dash, the 220 yard dash
and is working out with the re-
lay team, Owens was Beach
High's top cinderman and is ex-
pected to be a big help to the
Savannah State Tigers.

Some other members of the
team are, Raymond Harper,
Terry Mays, Reuben Toombs,
Alphonson Brown, George

pares and evaluates objectively
the quality and technique of
higher education on both sides
of the Atlantic,

While agreeing that instruc-
tion in our colleges and univer-
sities may often be pedestrian
and uninspired, he contends that
it is the materialistic, market-
oriented values of contemporary
life, reflected in the inhuman
machine of campus bureaucracy,
that tend to make the student

cated person. Of the attempt to

says, "The aim is to make the
'well-roimded student'; the re-

headed drudge," He also feels
very strongly that the American
high school does little to pre-
pare its students for the rigors
of genuine higher education, and
sends them to college ill-
equipped to benefit from even
the best of teaching.

The timeliness of Professor
Williams' book is underscored by
the enthusiastic response of

Dr. Howard Thurnian, Marsh Chapel,
Delivers Commencement Atkh'ess

By Sherman Roberson

Dr, Howard W. Thurman, Dean, Mai'sh Chapel, Boston Uni-
versity, Boston, Massachusetts, was the principal speaker at the
81st Commencement exercise of Savannah State College, held In
Meldrim Auditorium at 11:00 on June 3.

Dr. Thurman chose as his
thesis, "Seek After Truth." He
told the eighty-one graduates
from twenty-eight cities that
the key to the outer world lies
within the individual. Though
one may not be as good looking
as one would like to be or as
learned as one would like to be,
but seeing how one is stuck with
one's self, he Iiad well accept
this fact and get acquainted
with himself. He further stated
that in order to accept yourself
you must accept responsibility
and grow up. The definition of
growing up according to Dr
Thurman is '. . . Learning how
to accept the time interval be-
tween the desires of an in-
dividual and the fulfillment of
the desires."

He stated that you must be a
seeker of truth in the world and
society in which you live and in
order to do so you must under-
stand with a brain that is as
hard as ice and with a heart as
warm as that of a mother.

Dr. Thurman stated that free-
dom is a sense of alternative and
option. "As long as you have a
choice, you are free," But when
you lose your sense of choice,
though you still eat, sleep and
produce your kind . . . you are
dead! Die poor, unknown, un-
loved, perhaps, but shut your
eyes to nothing that seems to
you to be the truth. . . ."

Included in the program were
the invocation by Rev. P. A.
Patterson, pastor, Butler Pres-
byterian Church; selections,
"The Beatitudes" and "Great
and Marvellous Are Thy Works,"
by the Savannah State College
Choral Society and "On Great
Lone Hills," by the Men's
Ensemble; presentation of the
speaker by President W. K.
Payne: and induction of Gradu-
ates into the Alumni Association
by Mr. Leonard H. Law. Presi-
dent. National Alumni Associ-
ation.

Mr. Howard W, Thurman,
IH:in, M.irsh Chapel, Boston
t'liiver.sity, Boston, Massachu-
setts, delivers the 81st Com-
mencement address of Savannah
State College.

Dr. W. K. Payne
Addresses Family

Dr. William K. Payne, Presi-
dent of Savannah State College,
delivered the keynote address
during the first all-College As-
sembly of the Summer Quarter
on June 18, in Meldrim Audi-
torium.

Dr. Payne stated that in the
past much emphasis was placed
on the type of education, but in
the present day the emphasis
has shifted from type to quality.
For if our society is to survive,
the institutions of today must
provide men and women with a
quality of education that will
enable them to derive solutions
for the problems existing in this
era.

He set forth that the calibre
of education, the quality of
learning received by individuals,
will deal a deciding blow in re-
lation to the alleviation of world
problems.

He cautioned those enrolled in
summer school to strive to at-
tain a quality of education that
will be representative of them-
selves, their country and all
concerned.

Points to Ponder

Louis Pasteur:

Never try to prove to the other
person that you are right. It is
human nature to object to any-
one who insists he is right.
Rather, always present your
arguments in such a manner as
to do your best to prove that
you are wrong. If you follow this
approach, especially when you
are sure you are right, the self-
same person you are trying to
convince will bring up strong
evidence in behalf of your cause
anri prove to himself and to the
world that your stand is correct.
-Quoted by O. A, Battista in
How to Enjoy Work and Get
More Fun Out of Life
(Prentice-Hall)

Robert Louis Stevenson in
Virginibus Pucrlsque and
Familiar Studies of Men and
Books:

If a wife is talented as a
woman, it will not much matter
if she is talented in nothing else.
She must know her metier de
femme, and have a fine touch
for the affections. It is more
important that a person should
talk pleasantly of common
friends and the thousand and
one nothings of the day. than
that she should speak with the
tongues of men and angels; for
a while togetlier by the fire
happens more frequently in
marriage than the presence of
a distinguished foreigner to
dinner.

Dutton

Clarence Day in ????:

The world of books is the most
remarkable creation of man.
Nothing else that he builds ever
lasts. Monuments fall; nations
perish; civilizations grow old
and die out; and, after an era
of darkness, new races build on
others. But in the world of
books are volumes that have
seen this happen again and
again, and yet live on, still
young, still as fresh as the day
they were written, still telling
men's hearts of the hearts of
men centuries dead.

Yale University Press

T. A. Boyd in Professional
Amateur, the Biography of
Charles Franklin Kettering:

Said "Boss" Kettering: "Re-
search is a high-hat word that
scares a lot of people. It needn't.
It is nothing but a state of mind
a friendly, welcoming attitude
toward change. It is the prob-
lem-solving mind as contrasted
with the let- well-enough-alone
mind. It is tlie composer mind
instead of the fiddler mind. It is
the tomorrow mind instead of
tile yesterday mind."

Dutton

Clifton Fadiman:

The great teacher is rarely
"popular." He is interested in
something more important tiian
winning the affections of an un-
ending procession of young peo-
ple. No great teacher is demo-
cratic, in the sense that a suc-
cessful politician must be. Mark
Van Doren. who taught me Eng-
lish at Columbia, calmly assumed
a class composed entirely of
heavy thinkers. At first this was
embarrassing, but after a while
you got used to it, and pretty
soon you found yourself saying
something practically publish-
able. I can remember philosophy
classes, presided over by another
fine teacher, the late Irwin Ed-
man, in which football heroes
suddenly, if impermanently, be-
came adults simply because Ed-
man refused to treat them as
anything else. Memorable is that
quick look of panic mingled with
amazed delight that would
spread over their pleasant open
faces at the realization that they
had given birth to an idea. By
this look you may know that
education is in process,

Despite JSature^s Ways

Many students, from neighbor-
ing areas and various states,
have enrolled at Savannah State
College for the Summer Quarter
despite the ways of nature-
It is a logical assumption that
these students considered the
practical consequences of at-
tending summer school before
making a decision.

Even though, during the sum-
mer months at Savannah State,
the mercury rises far above 90
degrees and sometimes above
the 100-degree mark, the class-
rooms are hot and humid, the
various types of insects are
plentiful , and various other
forms of discomfort are to be
encountered, the values to be
received outweigh these condi-
tions by a hundred-fold.

Along with her discomforts,
nature provides many favorable
conditions. Nature has produced
an environment at Savannah
State College that may be
equaled by a few, but surpassed
by none. The moss laden trees,
songs produced by birds, the
rays of the sun that seem to
kiss the nearby marsh and
many other colorful surround-
ings, enchant all of the in-
habitants of this "college by the
3:a."

It is hoped that the students
enrolled at Savarmah State Col-
lege this summer have chosen
this institution not because of
the beauty that nature has shed
upon it, but because of the edu-
cational benefits that it attempts
to provide for its students.

Sometimes, when judging edu-
cational institutions, one says
that a certain institution is very
"poor." The fact is that the in-
dividual has failed to decom-
pose tlie institution into its com-
ponents. An institution as de-
fined by Webster's New World
Dictionary is "an organization
having a social, religious or edu-
cational purpose . . . the build-
ing housing such an organiza-
tion." In this definition the key
word is "organization." This
term as defined by the same
reference is ", . , A body of per-
sons organized for some specific
purpose. . . ." According to this
definition, the statement, "That
a certain institution is very
poor." could easily be altered to
read. "That is a very poor group
of individuals."

This statement refers to a
situation where the instructor
is not assuming his responsibility
to the teaching profession nor
the students involved and also
where the student is not assum-
ing his responsibility to himself
nor the instructor.

It is tlie student's duty to
demand the "goods" that he is
paying for. "The student must
bring some to get more," his

BILLIE HOLLIDAY IS
HOSPITALIZED . . .

Hospitalized with a serious
liver and heart condition after
distasteful hassles with two New
York institutions, Billie HoUiday
was under medical treatment
when police charged her with
possession of narcotics in her
hospital room.

Forty-four years old now and
broken in health. Billie Holliday.
one of the greatest singers jazz
ever produced, was giving a sad
illustration of what Shakespeare
meant by "the law's delay." A
New York newspaper had for its
headlines. "Singer Billie Holliday
Is Dying." To some of us. they
were talking about "our girl,"
our non-expendable Billie. And
what was BUlie doing while such
a sensational report was being
made? Well. Billie was sitting
up in a room at the Metropolitan
Hospital in New York City. On
Wednesday, June 3, Dr. Caminer
of Metropolitan Hospital con-
firmed for the second time that
Billie's illness had no connection
with drugs. After seventy-two
hours in the hospital, she had
shown no symptons of with-
drawal. The New York paper
then stated that Billie is now
"straight." It was then known
that "Our gal," Billie Holliday,
was a long way from dead. She
is now thmking about the work
she has to do recording the
sound track of the film based
on her life this summer,
J. J. JOHNSON "CAUGHT IN
THE ACT" . . .

The new Basin Street East is
attempting to occupy a middle
ground, midway between Broad-
woys" Birdland and the intmiacy
of the Embers. The quiet subtlety
of the J. J. Johnson Quintet is
well suited to this purpose. They
play good, listenable jazz with-
out being too aggressive about
it.

On the opening night, the J. J.
Johnson Quintet's first tune was
a number entitled, "Tune Up"
I which was just about what the
title indicated ) . Cole Porter's
Tve Got You Under My Skin.'
and J. J.'s interpretation of
"Star Dust" were next. J. J.
played the latter in a very
modern vein with profound
creativeness. The members of
the group were J. J- Johnson,
trombone: Cliff Jordan, tenor
sax; Albert Heath, drums; Cedar
Walton, piano; and James De
Brest, bass.

Teachers Study

Mass Communications

The Mass Media of Communi-
cations class under the direc-
tion of Mrs- Luetta C. Upshur,
assistant professor of languages
and literature, is composed of
thirteen students, eight in-
service teachers and five regular
students. The purpose of the
class is to analyze the media in
terms of content, method and
psychology.

Members of the class are as
follows: Jeanette Shatteen. in-
structor, Mary Jackson Ele-
mentary School. Statesboro;
Pharestine Appling, Nahunta
\ Elementary School, Nahunta;
Mary Lester. Unadilla Elemen-
y tary School, Unadilla; Rebecca

Gray, senior, social science
major. Tifton; Edith White,
senior, business education major,
Hilton Head; Ethel Frazier, in-
structor. Ludowici; Christine
Welcome, senior, social science
major. Ludowici: Eula Lamar,
Maggie Califf High School. Gray;
Alvin Collins, senior, English
major, Waycross: S w o r e n a
Smalls, Tattnall County Indus-
_trial School, Reidsville ; Mattie
Lee, instructor. Savannah:
Delores Dorsey. Peaboby High
School. Eastman.

The group has analyzed radio
and television programs accord-
ing to content. This was done
through the use of televisions
and radios in and out of class.

In-Service Teachers
Give Deniouistrations

The in-service teachers en-
rolled in the workshop in Edu-
cation 461 and 462 conducted
demonstrations in the areas of
language arts, arithmetic and
social studies.

Mrs. Dorothy Jamerson. a
member of the Sol Johnson
faculty, gave the initial demon-
stration in the area of language
arts. She worked from the sub-
unit title "Exploring Natural
Resources Through the Langu-
age Arts." With the use of re-
cordings and pictures she re-
lated to the students how peo-
ple in the Philippine Islands live
and some of the uses they make
of their natural resources.

Mr. June Hart, instructor at
Aaron Elementary School.
Millen, Georgia, demonstrated
methods of teaching arithmetic.
He explored various methods
and fundamentals suitable for
lower and upper elementary
groups.

Mr. Andrew Bowers. LaGrange.
Georgia, used "Social Studies In
Many Areas" as a working unit
theme- He. concentrated his dis-
cussion in civics, geography and
history. Mr, Bowers simplified
his presentation by making
reference to the three major
institutions of learning, the
church, the home and the school.

Miss Clemmie S. McAlister,

Mr. Willie W. I>rie:ht and Miss Shirley Thomas, graduates of
the class of "58, cut wedding cake after taking marital vows.

instructor at Warrenton Ele-
mentary and High School,
Warrenton, Georgia, gave a
demonstration in the area of
natural science. She used "The

Air We Live In" as her sub-
title. She demonstrated that the
air is indispensable to life. . . .
Without it living things (plants
and animals) could not survive.

The Violated

Bourjaliy. Vance N., The Vio-
lated. New York: The Dial Press.
Inc. 1958. 599 pp.

A Review by Yvonne Hooks

The Boar's Head Club at SSC
has recently read, discussed and
recommended for your reading
enjoyment a novel by Vance Nye
Bourjaiiy, The Violated.

Vance Bourjaliy is the autiior
of two previous novels. The End
of My Life and The Hound of
the Earth, and was co-founder
of the literary publication. Dis-
covery. A sometime drama critic,
television dramatist, and news-
paperman, Mr. Bourjaiiy is now
serving as visiting lecturer at
the University of Iowa Writers'
Workshop.

Although the drifting plot of
the novel Is not pointedly em-
phasized, it serves to combine
and interweave a stimulating
group of people whom the author
vividly characterizes.

The novel tells the story of
how four individuals whose lives
suddenly connect In the Ivy
League years before the war
when they meet, largely through
Tom Benlnger's effort, fascinate,
hate, love, help, and hurt each
other.

The Violated is meritorious

because of Bourjaily's perceptiv*.
often moving, characterizations
of brilliant Tom Beninger, hi.s
pretty sister. Ellen; his friend,
wealthy playboy Guy Cinturon;
and tough Eddie Bissle.

The author's Fitzgerald-llke
atmosphere sadly surrounds
Ellen Beninger, a pretty, vi-
vacious girl, who in matronly
years has become a shadowy,
senseless alcoholic.

Bourjaiiy evokes humor in his
portrait of Guy Cinturon. the
wealthy playboy from Mexico
who diligently keeps a^diary of
conquests with a page for every
girl he has known.

One character who draws
striking attention is Eddie Bissle,
in liis words, "crud," In tough,
dwarfish Bissle. the reader sees
a dirth of faith, hope, love and
happiness, a 5' 5" thump of un-
relenting bitterness, hate, and
insensitivity. Author Bourjaiiy
explains;

"Eddie Bissle's heart broke
young so he throw the damn
cub scout pieces away."

The author's characterization
of Tom points up the tenderness,
gentleness, confusion of a
brilliant, warm youth. The
reader sees Tom search for
happiness, and living. The

municate, to love, to compre-
hend, to create violated by
neurotic commitments to pre-
posterous goals or, more tragic-
ally, to no goals at all."

The author's style is one of
frank brevity which combines
compact realism and harshness
with subtle humor.

reader sees Tom fail at jobs,
aspirations, and hopes. Then the
reader feels anguished defeat
when this climate of search,
confusion, and failure consumes
Tom.

In the words of the author
these people are violated

sonaUty of the month."

Elementary Science
Teachers Stntly
Electrons at SSC

During the first days of July.
the teachers in the Elementary
Science Workshop studied the
atom and its uses in everyday
life. They hoped to gain knowl-
edge from these experiences that
would be useful to them as they
attempt to teach pupils on the
elementary levels the concepts
pertaining to atomic energy.

W. V. Winters, Professor of
Physics, Savannah State College,
was the first consultant used in
this study. He introduced this
unit of study with a lecture-
demonstration on the atom. Mr.
Winters used the hydrogen
atom in his demonstration since
it is the lightest one and is more
easily demonstrated. He dia-
gramed this atom along with
others, showing their internal
structures: the nuclei, protons,
neutrons and electrons, and how
the protons are located within
the nuclei and how the electrons
and nuclei travel in their
respective orbi's around the
nuclei.

Mr. Winters then explained
the principles of nuclear fission,
the difference between a stable
and uristable atom, and isotopes,
their uses and formation. He
also demonstrated the use of the
Geiger counter in determining
and locating radio-active ma-
terial.

The second consultant for this
workshop was Mr. Ware T. Beall,
a specialist in science educa-
tion and a traveling science
teacher. Mr. Beall continued the
work that was initiated by Mr.
Winters. He concerned himself
primarily with the electrical
charges located in the outer
orbits of atoms which are known
as electrons. He demonstrated
how these electrons, known to
all as electricity, are harnessed
and used in our everyday living.

He also showed a list of ex-
periments that could be used in
demonstrating the concepts of
electricity on all grade levels to
achieve the objectives listed in
Science for Georgia Schools.
