A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY ui.hs. wc have been enjoying along with "A Golden 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.

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."

To whom is the Creative Writing Edition of The Tiger's Roar dedicated? Answers should be submitted to Thomas Locke, Circulation Manager, by 4 p. m., April 18. 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. Ann liuth Howard. 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.

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 ERR.

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."

MISS CAMILLA WILLIAMS Page 2 THE TIGER'S ROAR August, 1952 Members of Secondary Workshop Work on A Group Project Todd Duncan Presented Everyday Problems as Lyceum Feature Secondary Workshop Furnishes In-Service Teochers Practical Experiences By MRS. E. C. BRYANT 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. Students enrolled in the course 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 Rembert, Ebenezer School, Holly Hill, South Carolina; Mr. John Blackshear, Eatonton Colored High School, Eatonton, Georgia; Mr. Boston Williams.

The workshop officers were as follows: Secretary, Miss Juanita Howard; Assistant Secretary, Mrs. R. G. Zealy; and Treasurer, Mr. Richard Wilson. The committee in Resource Per- sons was particularly interested in obtaining individuals whose expe- riences in fields relevant to the surveys would 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. Scott Named Editor of N. Y. U. Bylletin Savannah State College's Public Relations Chief, Wilton C. Scott, has been accorded the honor of editing the University's summer bulletin for the Associated Work- shop in Educational Leadership. According to a release following the election, as editor-in-chief of this publication, Mr. Scott will have an honor rarely accorded a Negro from the deep South. The Associated Workshops in Educational Leadership is com- posed of about 350 school adminis- trators, principals and teachers from all over this country and also the West Indies. From this number two teachers from Chatham County, Mrs. Sadie B. Stringer and Mrs. Virginia D. Nelson serve on the staff as typists. They are in a different division of the workshop than Mr, Scott, his main interest being the seminar in administra- tive problems. Receives Tremendous Ovation By JOHN A. 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 Elizabeth Lee, Augusta, Georgia.

(Continued on Page seven) 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 Workshop Does Creative Work By MRS. MELBA McLENDON The first summer session Arts and Crafts Workshop was very ac- tive this summer. It was composed of forty-nine in-service and pros- pective teachers and was under the direction of Mrs. Rosemary Curley Jackson, The group did scribble designs, spatter painting, finger painting, tempera painting, papier mache animals, soap carving, weaving, blue-printing and block printing. Many individuals worked on special projects and were quite successful. It was quite revealing tio see such beautiful objects made from waste materials. Mrs, Jackson wa? quite success- ful in taking the class, as a whole, back to its childhood days. By creative drawings and dabbling in paint, the average individual In the class wandered mentally back to childhood. I am quite confident that the many experiences that we shared in the workshop this sum- mer will be of great benefit to our pupils In the next school year. Dr. C.

Bowens THE ROVING REPORTER 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.

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 a woman has a baby in her arms, a man should get up and let her sit down; if she has packages in her arms, he should offer to hok; the pack- ages. Likewise, if a man has a baby in his arrfis, the woman should offer him a seat. Times have changed; women are outstrip- ping men in many areas and ham- mering to get into others, so why shouldn't equal opportunity mean equal responsibility and equal re- spect and deference.

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. - i Gertrude Davis Thomas Class of '52 Savannah State Speaks well that ..

Chapel Program commit- tee; Mrs. Mable McLendon, Pub- licity committee; and Mrs. Wig- fall Mincey, Audio-Visual Aids committee. Enrollees Grouped Accordng to Interest The 66 members of the workshop are divided into groups according to interest or problems. Groups organized are: Language Arts, Arithmetic, Physical Education and Health, Social Studies, and Science. Officers were also elected for each of these groups. The members of the group spon- sored a chapel program during the regular weekly chapel hour, Wednesday, July 23. The program consisted of a classroom demon- stration on teaching mathematics in a practical manner. He DID Lady (holding cookie over dog); Speak! Speak! Dog: What shall I aay? 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, 'til my sidewalks start walking. Give Us A Thought By GERTRUDE D. THOMAS The Cia.ss of 1952 leaves behind a past full of memories of a place we will never forget. It is hard to realize wo have to leave dear old Savannah State, for so much of lives have been spent here learning, laughing, and loving. Now we are leaving but its only in form, and not in thought. At institutions - of higher learning. your bewildered alumnui will stop in the midst of scurrying thou- sands and say. "Gee, but this is a lot different from S. S. C. Gee, 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. A CHILDHOOD NOTE How many times I read your mail. And wondered how, and why, And how you sat and held your pen. To write me as a friend. Although I know you know just how, just , Why, and when to write, And how to spell each word cor- rect And place the periods right. I wish I could I know I would If only a chance I'd try have You enrolled I would hold And enfold you in my book of friends, Lula E. Walker, IF I HAD MY WAY By Miss Sarah E, Butler If I had my way I'd change time Around. The hours I'd arrange in this light: From morn til' noon 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. August, 1952 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. Page 5 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. Concerning Nomads Teacher; Mention a characteristic of gypsies. Pupil: Wandering. Teacher: Can anyone give another name applied to those wandering from place to place? Pupil: Traveling salesmen.

Ho was introduced by President W K. Payne of Savannah State ( "lli'go and spoke on the subject wilh which he deals daily Health, poinling out that because of dis- coveries in medicine, communicable disease has been lessened. Life expectancy Is longer," he However, Negro life expec- ancy is whites." able the teacher to become more effective in helping citizens in their communities determine ways and means of solving community problems in home beautification. as well as aiding citizens in devel- oping appreciation for civic and so- cial benefits in a well-ordered com- munity. A lively interest was developed by initially ascertaining the prob- lems each class member encount- ered in his respective community. These general problems were broken down into types of 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- tha Avery, textile specialist. As- sistant Professor of Home Econom- ics; Rutherford Lockette. coordina- tor.

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." Baseball and Religion One of the baseball fans at summer school summarized his re- ligion lesson thus: Eve stole first; Adam stole sec- ond; Rebecca went to the well with the pitcher; and the prodigal son made a home run. Summer Theatre Presents Play By LIZETTAE FOOTMAN The Savannah State College Summer Theater Group, under the direction of John B. Clenrmons, As- sistant Professor of Mathematics, presented a three-act comedy en- titled "He Couldn't Marry Five" in MeldrIm -Audtorium, Friday, July 18. Curtain time was 8:00 p. m. The title more than lived up to its name. It was at times laugh- able and charming, crazy and en- joyable with clever dialogue, fast action and true-to-life characteri- zations.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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. An Interview With The SSC Librarian THE ANONYMOUS LETTER (Continued from Page 6) your train is waiting." He helped me to the train. I thanked him. . Only thirty minutes now. My vanity came to my rescue and I spent the entire time "primping )Up." When I stepped off the train, I 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 str ihe yea 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. You can take a man out of the country, but you can't lake the country out of the man. When it comes lo cooking up a scheme so many of them are half- baked. The family car is part of the home. sa\'s a uriter. It is probably lived in more than the home. An Optimist is a person who thinks he can build an athlilion to his home at a low figure. The Roving Reporter IJ\ Hermenia Mobley 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 ...

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. IN THE TIGER'S DEN My Johnny P. Jo SSC Bows to M'House In Homecoming Tilt The Tigers fell before the Morehouse Maroon Tigers, 7-2, in tbe Homecoming gridiron contest, witnessed by 5,000 partisan fans, November 7. The first half saw Savannah State roll up 110 yards rushing and passing but failing to score- Morehouse moved down to the Savannah State three, but failed to score before tlic half. Charles Cozart, freshman back from Rockwood. Tennessee, proved to he the star of the game as be unlind)cred liis arm and passed for 20 and 30 yards at a lime for SSC. When Morehouse kicked off for the second half, Roscoc Browcr returned the kick buck ten yards. Cozart passed for 20 yards to move the ball up to the fifty, and Captain Willie Frank John- son moved the ball to the Morehouse 50. Four plays later, Claudie Roberts attempted to kick a field goal from the 25 but it was wide. Morehouse look the ball on the 20 and failed lo gain. State took over, but was penalized for roughness, 15 yards, and again for off aide. Cozart again unlimbercd his passing arm and hit McDaniel for 20 yards. On the next play, Cozart passed again for 20. After the SSC Tigers moved into More- house's territory, they failed lo score, and Morehouse look over. After the ball had changed several times ae the two evenly matclied teams failed to develop the power necessary to carry thm over the goal line, Morehouse passed lo the end zone lo end the scoreless game. The extra point was good and Morehouse led in the last five minutes of tlie game, 7-0. On the kick-off, Claudie Roberts re- turned the ball to tiie 35. Cozart passed lo Collier to move the ball lo tlie More- house 35. On the next play, a More- Imuse player intercepted a pass thrown by Claudie Roberts and was tackled behind the goal line to give SSC a safely. Bethune-Cookman WalloDs State, 67-0 The Bcibune-Cookman Wildcats ran up a lolal of six first downs and 427 yards rushing, to defeat the SSC Tigers, 67-0, before a home crowd of 3,000, under the lights at Savannah. Wallace Rasberry, Glayd Sanders, and William O'Parrow combined running, passing, and kicking to overpower the inexperienced, predominantly freshman Savannah team. Leonard Sims, 150 lb. freshman back from the Wayne County High School. Jesup, was the outstand- ing player for State. Sims picked up 138 yards rushing for the Tigers. Captain Willie Frank Johnson played his usual game, putting all the effort and spirit possible into the clash. Add- ing support were William Weather- spoon, Charlie Cozart, James Ashe, Claudie Roberts, and John "Big Bruis- er" Johnson. Johnson, 255 lb. tackle, got going by making several spectacu- lar plays in throwing Wildcat ball car- riers for a loss. The Tiger passing attack failed to produce a touchdown, but the young team showeT 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.

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 Martha Ed^^urds The Suraren Blade By Frank Yer- liy.

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.

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. ^JjOeAA/ 0?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 (Continued on Page 2) Parade) (Colorful; Homecoming Activities The homecoming parade was a very colorful event. Charming Miss Henrice Thomas reigned as Miss Savannah State, queen of Autumn Fiesta, which was the college wide, homecoming theme. Misses Beatrice Walker and Evelyn James flanked the queen on a beautifully decorated float that followed the high stepping Savan- nah State band directed by Mr. L. Allen Pyke, Other Bands Participate The rhythmic success of the parade can also be attributed to other participating bands. They were: the 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 band. Savannah, Georgia. The band members were dressed in their respective school uniforms and marched with pep and skill through the streets of Savannah. The cars and floats were skill- fully decorated and made an eye- catching impression as the array of autumn colors moved through the city streets. The sidewalks were crowded with onlookers and the outstand- ing floats and cars were applaud- ed as they passed by the enthusi- astic bystanders. Blue, gold, yellow, red and brown were the dominant colors used in suit combinations and queens and their attendants. Prizes Awarded Approximately 35 units, floats, cars and bands made up the mammoth, history making parade. Mr. Frank Tharpe, chairman of the Savannah State homecom- ing committee, announced that William James High School band won first prize among the high schools competing for Savannah State College homecoming awards. Woodville High and Al- fred E. Beach High won second and third places respectively. The three winning bands are directed by Savannah State Alumni. Joseph Solomon, Wil- liam James; Samuel Gills, Wood- ville; Carl Wright, Alfred E. Beach. The prize for the best decorat- ed building was won by the Fine Arts department; Powell Labora- tory School was second; Hill Hall, third. The first prize for the best decorated float was awarded the Home Economics department. There was a second place tie be- tween the Omega Psi Phi and the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternities. Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, the Alumni Chapter and the Senior class tied for first prize for the best decorated car. Sec- ond place was won by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Among the many queens were: Delores Perry, Junior, majoring in Biology, Savannah, "Miss Al- pha Phi Alpha;" Loretta Van El- lison, senior, majoring in Ele- mentary Education. Savannah. "Miss Alpha Kappa Alpha;" Ann Enmon. senior, majoring in Ele- mentary Education.

"There is no place like home" was truly the sentiments of those who are presently enrolled at this insti- tution. Welcome mats were spread for all alumni. "Miss General Alumni," for the year 1953-54, was the charming Mrs. L. Orene Hall, an alumna of this institution. Mfs. Hall has been employed as Head of the Commercial Department of Albany State College for the past eight years. She stated that tlie football weather was the best that she had witnessed on such an occasion. Mrs. Hall also re- marked "as we sing long may it wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave, let us hope within our hearts that long may President Payne reign as President of Savannah State College." Attendants to Mrs. Hall were Mrs. Rosa Allen Crosse and Mrs. Edna Turner Smith, Mrs. Crosse is a graduate of the high school and normal department of Geor- gia State Industrial College. She is a teacher at the Carver Jun- ior High School of Albany, Geor- gia. Mrs, Smith is a graduate of Savannah State College and she is now a teacher of English and Dramatics at the Newton High School. Newton. Georgia. "Miss Savannah Local Alum- ni." Mrs. Elsie Adams Brewton, is an elementary education teacher and basketball coach, in Hardeeville Negro High School, Hardeeville. South Carolina. Mrs. Brewton's attendants were Miss Ruth Mullino and Mrs. Margaret Wiltz. Miss Mullino teaches in the Risley High School. Brunswick, Georgia, and Mrs. Wiltz teaches at the De Renne Elementary School in Sa- vannah, Georgia. Feted in the homecoming pa- rade along with "Miss General Alumni" and attendants and "Miss Savannah Local Alumni" and attendants were "Miss Screven County Alumni" and her attendants.

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

Gracefully and lightly, like soft melodies, the queens and their escorts came down the aisle. As they neared the stage they were in- troduced. Alter Miss Henrice Thomas ac- cepted the honor of being crowned Miss Savannah State College, the program began. It consisted of a series of solos, both instrumental and vocal. The queens were also favored with a beautiful trio which included a violinist, pianist and soloist.

Let Your Difficulties Be Your Stepping Stones ^Kovember, 1953 THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 3 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- vannah State College Student Council; Willie Frank Johnson, Foger Booker, Tony Lumpkins, Talmadge Anderson and Chester Conyers who graduated last year and are now in the Armed Forces. Leroy Wesby, Walter Cook. Leonard Sims and Earl Brown were also on our Campus.

First of all, the campus as a whole chose lovely Miss Henrice Thomas to reign as their campus queen for the school year 1953- 54, Mrs. Beatrice Doe was chos- en as one of her attendants. Lovely Delores Perry was chos- en again as the Alpha Phi Alpha Sweetheart, Helen Battiste reigns over the Sphinxmen this year as "Miss Sphinx" of 1953-54.

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.

Substi- tuting at the eleventh hour for Dorothy Maynor. she won cheers from an audience of 3,000 people in Minneapolis, The singing of Robert McFer- rin is one of the few real thrills in music today. The great young baritone possesses a voice of soaring splendor, used to perfect- tion throughout its phenomenal range. To his rich native en- dowment as vocalist and artist, Robert McFerrin adds an excep- tional personal intensity and dignity which stamp his singing as unforgettable. He attended Fisk University for one year; he then began his study at Chica- go's school of music. He has had lead roles in "The Green Pas- tures" and in "Lost in the Stars." He was the first Negro artist to perform in "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 which we had the pleasure of witnessing a concert of sut)erb performance. Your columnist wishes the stars much success In the future.

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. We suggest the following to help you enjoy A Merry Christ- mas and A Happy New Year, too!

The Sewage Disposal Plant, connecting Savannah State Col- 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, with Dr. W. K. Payne as its shep- herd. The flock at Georgia's largest institution for higher ed- ucation for Negroes is covering ground with its construction program.

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!! Alpha Kappa Alpha The Alpha Kappa Alpha so- .'ority is growing in number as veil as strength. Three Neo- phytes entered the gate of sis- ;erhood in November making a ;otal of seventeen sisters.

I dare not tell, but it will be one of their greatest features of the new year. At this time, everybody is full of the Christmas spirit and "the going home blues." At any rate. ^^ tlie sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority wish to all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Ties Happy New Year.

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Alpha Gamma chapter of Omega Psi Phi fraternity is proud to welcome some recently made brothers as a result of the chapter's fall initiation. The 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. General Education Biology Students at Work Organization Highlights 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 S. L.

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 Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.

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. All Social Education Programs to Be Dedicated to Religious Emphasis According to Nelson Freeman, Assistant Counselor of Men, all of the Social Education Hours will be centered around Religious Emphasis. On Monday, the Sun- day School will present a panel discussion, entitled, "Religion, Key to Effective Living." On Tuesday. William Bowen, Direc- tor of Audio-Visual Aids, will present a movie entitled "Walk- ing With God," Wednesday's Social Education Hour will be turned over to the guest of the Week for discussion.

Breakfast in Family Style On Sunday Morning As usual, Mrs. Varnetta Fra- zier, our dietitian, has announced that on the first day of Religious Emphasis Week, breakfast will be served in family style. All students are requested to be in the dining hall at 8 o'clock and dressed suitably to meet our guest. The faculty and students will have breakfast together. Miss Elizabeth Jordan will serve as leader of the short devotion on that morning. Miss Louise Kor- negay is chairman of the Break- fast Committee. Dr. Faulkner Leaves College Work Dr. William J, Faulkner, Reli- gious Emphasis Week Speaker, for Savannah State College for the term 1952-53, has left Fisk University to accept the pastor- ate of a Congregational Church in Chicago. Illinois. Dr. Faulkner was Dean of Flsk University when he came to Sa- vannah State College. Business Places to Share in Religious Emphasis Week Spirit Three commercial businesses and the College Center have promised support of the ap- proaching Religious Emphasis Week for 1953-54 school year. Frank Tharpe, owner of the College Corner Shoppe, and B. J. James, proprietor of B. J. James' Confectionery, have pledged to place keys in their places of busi- ness to remind the students of the theme, "Religion, Key to Bet- ter Living." Collis Florence has made a similar pledge for the College Center. In addition to the businessmen named above who have pledged (Continued on Page 4) The Doctor and God By S- M- McDew.

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.

Student Council In a world of turmoil, confusion, and doubt, we find a week of meditation very helpful and inspiring. The Student Council realizes and feels that religion plays a significant role in developing the whole individual. To have faith in something or someone, serves as a stimulus or an urge to help one reach the goals he sets and gives one courage to approach the ultimate goal. Religion is a belief in God or surgery, penicillin, and varied equipment. Today, very few ailments and diseases of the human body have not been mastered. Yet, science is unable to exercise control over life and death. Therefore. we recognize an inadequacy in medicine. We are unable to ex- plain satisfactorily why certain scientific principles and theories sometimes fail despite all we know and do. As a result, we are forced to accept the belief that a supreme being is omnipo- tent with regard to mankind and all elements of the universe. I believe that the true physi- cian is aware of the need for God's close association in the medical profession. Consequent- ly, in all his undertakings, the doctor evidences a faith in God. Prayer, too. is an essential tool. Faith and Prayer can be likened unto a crutch used by a lame man. It is unnecessary to labor the point that we are instru- ments in His hands. Without Him we can do nothing. supernatural powers. Christian- ity is the belief in Christ and his teachings. Most students be- lieve in Christ because he was a good leader, a true friend and kind to everyone. In order for us to be good leaders and be suc- cessful, we must also possess the desired qualities truth, honesty, kindness and the insight to help mankind maintain better social relations. The Student Council is pa- tiently awaiting the arrival of this Week, and goes out whole- heartedly to support it. Review Of '53 Religious Observance By Elmer Warren, '55 Dr. William Faulkner was the guest speaker for Religious Em- phasis Week of 1953 at Savan- nah State College. It is felt that Savannah State's future leaders digested the enlighten- ing addresses and speeches made by Dr. Faulkner. Dr. Faulkner stated that peo- ple, especially college students, should be sensitive to the social rights and needs of others. We should have a capacity for inde- pendent thinking and critical evaluation. Page 2 THE TIGER'S ROAR February, 1954 Tiger's Roar EDITORIAL STATP ^. .

Epps Thomas Evans Lillian Freeman Nettye A. Handy Solomon Green Dorothy Moore Member of: INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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. News Analysis Thomas R. Evans '55 ON THE BRICKER AMEND- MENT. The Bricker group, most of the Old Guard and the isola- tionist wing of the Republican party, is determined to curb the executive power. The plan would give Congress greater powers than it now has in the making of treaties and executive agree- ments. Senator Bricker says "the objective is to prevent the United States from joining any world government scheme." I predict If any treaty powers' amendment is approved, Senator Bricker will claim political credit, ON THE BIG FOUR FOREIGN CONFERENCE. I am forced to believe now that Russia is bent on holding fast to her position in Europe even if at the cost of blocking agreement on Germany. At the same time, she Is moving to divide the West by "peaceful overtures" that have varying measures of popular appeal for the Western democracies.

SOCIAL SCIENCE 204 (Contemporary Georgia) lislens to lecture by Mr. W. E. Griffin. (Locke photo) . ^ Creative Tributes Valentine Nadene Cooper '55 For years, we have celebrated Valentine without having a clear understanding of its meaning. We have often said "Be my Val- entine" without thinking or without actually knowing what these words represent. When an individual says to another "Be My Valentine" the following things are implied: Be kind-hearted and true. Eager to share in things that I do. Meet me half-way, which is right. Yield, when you are wrong. Verbalize, it stands for self-ex- pression. Abstain from nagging, it ruins friendship. Love with sincerity, it is the best policy. Elaborate, when there Is need for clarification. Never form conclusions, with- out sufficient evidence, Try to understand, under- standing is knowledge. Ignore my faults, you have some too. Notice me, I am not to be taken for granted. Encourage me to always do my best. Won't you be a true Valentine? The Coming Spring Solomon Green '55 When willow trees weep and mourn It is then that spring is born, And in minds love thoughts do ring The bells and joys of the coming spring. The coming spring is the time of year That wedding bells ring with other cheers, That express the love of the singing birds And all of that, too, in other words. So through the heart pierces the sword. Blooming trees bear the load; There, from nature we harvest summer long 'Til the breeze of autumn brings leaves down. 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).

February, 1954 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? The Voice of the Y.M.C.A. . . . Cleveland Lawrence '57 The members of the Savannah State College Y.M.C.A. are striv- ing to make this year a success- ful one. Recently, they organ- ized a basketball team. This team will play against other "Y" teams both in and out of town. The "Y" debating team has been organized also.

The House Council of Camilla Hubert Hall has given a series of Social-education programs for the development of the residents. The first program was about body care hair, skin, nails, etc. On February 8, 1954, at 9:05 p.m. there was a demonstration given by Mrs. Harriet Stone in the Reception room of Camilla Hubert Hall. Girls chosen as models were Misses Mamie Davis, Jewell Miller, David Hester and Nell Washington. These girls modeled play clothes. Mrs. Stone gave a lecture on how to wear foundation gar- ments and the importance of good posture as related to good looks. After the lecture and dem- onstration, prizes and refresh- ments were enjoyed by everyone. Mrs. Stone is a former Home Economics instructor at Savan- nah State College. She is now an agent for Spirella and Deala foundation garments. These commodities were used for mod- eling. Mrs. Stone is presently resuming the role of housewife and mother.

Egyptians; Friday, Mohammed- ans; Saturday, Jews and Sev- enth Day Adventists, Mercedes Mitchell "54 History repeats itself in every- thing-even fashions. Many years ago "spool-heel" shoes and "can- can" dresses, along with the nar- row skirts with drapes on the side, were greatly in demand. As time marches on, these same styles are returning with different names. The "can-can" dresses, in reality, are the bal- lerina skirts worn with a crino- 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": Take good care of your clothes In the fashion world History will continue to rtpeat itself. WHO IS IT ? ? That has been running J.

The Mardi Gras lived up to the expectations of the S.S.C. party- goers. Everyone had a swell time. S,.S,C. (ilRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM From lefl to rit;ht; Rulh Patterson, Catherine Gordon. Edith Ray.

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- (Continued on Page 4) ASSr.IViBiv\ SPEAKER Rev. W. E.

Does Your Behaviour Seven Tests To Be Applied To One's Acts for Better Living {Suggested b} the Reverend W. E. Carrington during the closing '-' session of Religious Emphasis Week, March II. 19.54. Each of the seven tests is passed when all questions concerning it can be answered in the affirmative. Count 4 points for each "Yes" answer. If, on the 25 questions, your con- templated act receives a score be- low 80, perhaps you had better think seriously before proceeding with it J ,.\. The Test nl Common^ense: 1. Will it make sense to do it? 2. Will your status permit you to do it? 3. Will a reasonable man look upon it as being sensible? 4. Will it represent good taste under the given circum- stances? p B.

Will it be worthwhile when the price has been paid? 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!

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

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. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity News The Kappas' Third Annual Va- riety Revue will be presented on April 21. 1954. at 7:30 P.M. in Meldrim Auditorium. The par- ticipants for the Revue have been contacted and looking over the probable program, it appears that the Kappas have gone to a great extent to present the best entertainment ever presented on the campus. The brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi have chosen various young ladies who are competing for that glorious title of "Kappa Sweetheart. 1954-55," The broth- ers are very proud of these young ladies that they are sponsoring in the contest and each broth- er is working hard so that his contestant will wear the crown. The contestants are: Misses Lois Cone. Hazel Harris, Dorothy Heath, Genevieve Holmes. Sarah Howard, Virginia Sheffield. Do- ris Singleton and Vivian Wise. The Kappas' Greek - letter Scholastic Achievement trophy will be presented to the Greek- letter organization having the highest cumulative average for the past three quarters. This award will be presented during the Kappas' Annual Guide-Right Ceremonies in April. Last year the trophy was won by the Sig- ma Gamma Rho Sorority. AH Greek-letter organizations are urged to submit a complete ros- ter to the Office of the Regis- trar by April 1, 1954. The Days We Celebrate THE DAYS WE CELEBRATE Have you ever wondered just what provoked certain holidays that are observed during the 12 months in a year year in and year out? Rarely does a month pass which does not bring forth a holiday, feast, festival, or an- niversary for someone. All of these spring from some signifi- cant event which dates back into the depths of history. During the month of March, 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- ft Great Success pictcd the pleasures and sor- rows of spiritual life. There was an understandingly sympathet- ic undertone that was instru- mental in making the play a tremendous success. The cast of characters is as follows: Mary Renshaw, Jean Miller; Sister Athanaslus Doro- thy R. Davis; Sister Lucy, Ruby Bess; Mr. Barton, Thomas John- son; Professor Pearson. Johnnie Carter: Sister Monica, Pauline Silas; Bishop Gregory. - George Johnson; Father Benton. Melvin Marion: Monsignor Burke. Irving Dawson.

STUDENT NEWSPAPER A PUBLIC RELATIONS AGENCY (Continued from Page 1) effect to each newspaper bear- ing its name: "This is my story in picture and in type: It is told 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- ing public opinions, it is neces- 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. S. S. C. FACULTY AND STUDENTS AT RETREAT Dean W. J.

The buildings and symbols were crowding his eyes faster than he could Iden- tify them. This day, our service- man from Savannah was truly living American history! He sought one building in par- ticular. He sauntered down Capitol Street, Later he stood before it. Imposing it was! Its classical architecture, with fluted columns capped by Co- rinthian and Ionic motifs, fur- nished the inspiration which brought a lump to his throat. He reverently looked upon it. Yes. it was the Supreme Court of the United States! Our Ne- gro ^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.

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.

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 Tiger's Roar, and Miss Juanita Sellers is faculty advisor. We'll Need a Little Help On Wednesday, April 28th, a special noonday assembly was called by President W, K. Payne for the purpose of launching an organized effort to clean and maintain the campus grounds. The President's plan was de- tailed by Mr. Felix Alexis, Sup- erintendent of Buildings and Grounds. Approximately one- half hour was allotted for the paper-debris gathering. Start- ling results were attained. Stu- dents, faculty, and staff cooper- ated as per expectations. There is good reason to anticipate that the idea will continue vigorously in effect. Our current emphasis is a phase of Governor Tal- madge's statewide clean-up campaign. The old saying One thousand people may pass while only one may enter carries much truth. Particularly is it applicable to our present efforts. Even the most distant visitor has been heard to reaffirm the beauty of the Savannah area. As far as our campus is con- cerned, there are few communi- ties in the world on which Na- ture has smiled so lavishly. On every hand, the trees, the Span- ish moss, the flowers, and the contours bear witness to this fact. Who is to keep the campus clean and thus voice approval of God's handiwork? Obviously those who enjoy the beauty and who receive the credit for being connected with the naturally beautiful surroundings should assume this task. Keeping the campus '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 (Continued on Page 3) Timothy V. Ryals, President of the Student Council, was se- lected MAN OF THE YEAR for 1954.

Sellers Advisor Member of: INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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. Current Library Favorites According to recent reports, the best-selling books of 1953 dem- onstrated the continuing demand of readers for books of a spiritual content. Three books that remained on the best-seller list through- out 1953 are: Norman Vincent Peale, The Power of Positive Thinking. Catherine Marshall. A Man Samuel Shellbarger.

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 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- Taylor, Jr. der the Industrial Education Program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. Among the many fine things that have come to Savannah State College in recent years to aid the college in rendering a greater service to the State of Georgia In Its educational pro- gram is The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation Library. This library is in the Division's Trades and Industries of the Special Library. The books and Information have proved a val- uable asset to student, staft members, and other technical workers at the college as well as in the community.

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. KEY TO -KNOW YOUR FACULTY" 1. Pres. W. K. Payne 2. Miss Thelma Browne 3, Mr. T.

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." Compliments cf B. J.

The Tutors are trying to help stim- ulate scholarship, decrease the number of academic casualties, and promote a more wholesome student - teacher relationship. These tutors are happy to help students with their subject- matter problems. The chapter is advised by Dr. E. K. WiHiams. coordinator of General Educa- tion. The following students have been appointed tutors in the area specified: Biology : Curtis Cooper, Thomas Evans, and George Johnson. Business: Irving Dawson, Mil- dred A. Graham.

Several years ago a tutorial system was established at Hamp- ton Institute, Hampton. Virginia. The key to the success of the tutorial program at Hampton is recorded in a booklet entitled: 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. Asst.

Advisers Miss A. V. Morton Mr. W. W. Lettwlch Member of; INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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. Message from the President Creative Tributes Sundown By Isaiah Mclver As the sun is setting low And the darkness slowly steals the day The moon and stars begin their nightly escape In the heaven above at sundown. The moon is shining in all its gracious splendor. As the sun ij, soundly sleeping in its bed of gold. And the stars twinkle in the heaven so tender, At sun down. All creatures of the earth are^ soundly sleeping And there is never a sound of weeping, As the dew sends down its mois- tering fragrance To feed the flowers so fragrant and tender. At sun down. From nowhere comes the eve- ning breeze Sighing softly through the trees, At sun down. Everywhere is peaceful and sweet. When the sun is setting low And the day slowly steals away. At sun down. Will You? By Solomon Green If in the army I should go, This time another year; Promise me that you'll be true. Til I return, my dear. And darling. If in parting. I fail to receive that good-bye kiss; Let this music and this writing Forever be your bliss. If in the army I should go. I'll love, wail and brood for you. Promise me that you will. too. Will you? Will you? Will you? did not stop there, but wrote other editorials to the governors of all the states, and to the President. On October 3, 1863, President Lincoln issued a national Thanksgiving Proclamation, set- ting apart the last Thursday in November as the day to be ob- served. In some localities re- ligious services are held In churches and afterwards the people gather around to bounte- ous feasting and praising God. As we approach this day let us be mindful of its surround- ing significance. Let us, too, like the pilgrims of long ago, give thanks unto God for, "His mer- cy is everlasting and His truth 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. W. K. PAYNE. President Faculty Interviews Mr. John B. Clemmons Mr. John B.

On the first play, William Stokes, Alabama State star quarterback, passed to halfback Otis Leftwich for their touchdown.

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.

FLORENCE Page 4 THE TIGER'S ROAR December, 195; 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.

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. \ LOOK INTO THE NEWS iContinuf-d from Page 2) show on his own book, that is entirely his own responsibility. our only request is that we be consulted in advance In the for- mulation of policy.

'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.

Alston Speaks in Seminar Through the kindness of Mr. Robert C, Long. Sr,, of the Busi- ness Department, the Leadership Institute Committee was able to secure the services of Mr. Wen- dell P. Alston, Public Relations representative of the Standard Oil Company. Mr. Alston spoke during one of the Social Edu- cation hours in the College Cen- ter, Wednesday, January 19. He spoke on the subject "Leader- ship Opportunities in Business." Mr. Alston was well equipped with a wealth of information that was of interest to the stu- dents in the business department and any others who might not intend to teach. He very care- fully explained how opportuni- ties for Negroes are opening up in businesses that formerly em- ployed no Negroes. If students become aware of these new pos- sibilities, they can begin prepar- ing themselves for such voca- tions. Religious Emphasis Week Feb. 27 By Barbara Brunson Flans for Religious Emphasis Week, which will be observed February 27 - March 3. have been made. The speaker chosen for the week is Mr. William James Simmons of Tennessee State College, who will speak from the general theme, "An Unchanging God in a Changing World." The chairmen and workers of all sub-committees have met and submitted plans to the executive committee, A Better-Week Com- mittee was named this year to make suggestions to improve the general program. The members of the executive committee are James Dearing, general chairman ; Barbara Brunson, executive secretary; Carter Peek, chairman of theme committee; and Reverend A, J. Hargrett, adviser . The committee will appreciate the cooperation of the entire student body in making this an interesting and beneficial week for everyone. Eighth Annual Leadership Institute Held January 16 The Eighth Annual Leadership Institute began Sunday morn- ing, January 16, with the sermon given by Reverend L, S. Stell, Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Rev. Stell spoke from the subject "In the Name of Sense". He admonished his listeners to always make their choices intelligent ones. Never make a de cision without carefully weighing MISS MARV HERD Miss Mary Herd, M. Ed., has been appointed director of the reading clinic at Savannah State College, it was announced by President W. K. Payne. She re- places Mrs. Juanita Sellers Stone, whose resignation became ef- fective at the end of the fall quarter. Miss Herd holds the A,B. de- gree from Knoxville College, and the M. Ed. degree from the Uni- versity of Southern California, where she has continued her study toward the doctorate. Prior to coming to Savannah State, Miss Herd was instructor at the Gompers High School. Los An- geles. Miss Herd is the editor and publisher of Expression, a literary magazine issued month- ly. all the facts. When one is about to take on an obligation, lie should first count the cost before he unwittingly takes on the re- sponsibility. Our leaders will not be successful In their respective fields unless they assume this attitude. The music for the church serv- ice was rendered by the Girls' Glee Club of Cuyler Junior High School, under the direction of Miss Jane Parker, They sang "The Star" by Rogers and Schu- bert's "Ave Maria," The speaker for the Vesper service was the Reverend Percel O. Alston, Pastor of the Midway Congregational Church and Di- rector of the Dorchester Com- munity Cooperative. Rev. Alston selected as his subject "What Time Is It?" He explained that he did not mean what hour of the day or what day of the week. But in a deeper or broader sense he wanted to know what time is it? There may be some people in the world who would say it is time to live for the moment only. to crowd as mu..h fun as is pos- sible into every day. There are others who say it is time to make money, as only the dollar bill has any meaning in our present way of life. The speaker was Job Placement Clinic Was Held By Personnel By George Johnson The department of student personnel services presented a job placement clinic for the students at Savannah State College in Meldrim Hall from January 7-13, The activities of the clinic in- cluded: a job placement conference for seniors, a display of job possibilities, and an address on job opportunities In general as- sembly. The first session on Saturday morning was open to seniors. It included two general sessions and a seminar, featuring three groups; business, education, and trades and industries. In the first general session 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. {Continuvd on Page 3) Page 2 THE TIGER'S ROAR January, 1955 EDITORIAL STAFF Edltor-in-Chief Associate Editor Managing Editor Feature Editor Society Editor Sports Editor Assistant Sports Editor Exchange Editor Copy Editor Fashion Editor Cartoonist .-.

Leftwich Member of: INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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- dress by the late Dr. Glenn 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- iContiniietl on Page 4j t ^wmv By INTERNATIONAL NEWS The much talked about issue concerning the French approval of rearming West Germany has finally been settled. The credit for the success of this very much pushed foreign policy of the Western powers is due largely to the relentless efforts and shrewd diplomatic ability of the French Premier, Mendes-France. It is the opinion of this writer that Premier Mendes-France should be commended by the leaders of the western world. He was not only successful in se- curing the ratification but has kept the present French govern- ment from dissolving. There are those, however, who say that the French had no choice except to ratify the Paris agreements, be- cause of the pressure exerted upon them by the United States and the British. This factor must have had its effect, but it is the belief of this columnist that, if France had not wanted to re- arm Western Germany, the Paris agreements would have received the same treatment as did the European Defense Community Plan of Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles. The French have had their say and now it is up to Germany and Italy- With the much liked Chancellor Conrad Adneaur, the Germans are expected to ratify the Paris agreement without too much difficulty; however, this will not be true with Italy, The supporters of this policy in Italy do not seem to be 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. W. K. PAYNE President Library News 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 Challenge of the Hour," "The Negro has built .and has no where to lay his head: he has sown and often another has reaped the fruits of his toil; he has run and not been weary; he has walked and not fainted on the way." was the statement which prefaced Josey's speech. He reminded the audience of the "J^egro's patience, adapta- bility.' -loyalty and smiling hu- mility which have given him Survival of the fittest against great odds." The speaker outlined the great struggle which has been the Negro's in his attempt to gain his civil rights and lib- erties in America. Students participating on the discussion in Assembly were the following Social Science majors: Misses Jewell Cutter and Muriel Hatton, Robert Jackson and Dennis Williams. These students gave a background of Negro progress in literature, music and politics. Mr. W. J. Holloway served as coordinator of a panel discus- sion in faculty meeting. The theme of this panel was. "Negro History : A Contribution to American Intercultural Life." Members of the panel spoke on the following aspects of the theme: Music, Miss Evelyn V, Grant; Economic Life. Miss Al- bertha Boston; Education. Mr. M, S. Stokes; Literature, Mr. J. Randolph Fisher: and Social Science, Mr. W. E- Griffin; Art. Mr. Philip Hampton. New Equipment In Home Ec. Department By Ida M.

'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. Signed: W. K.

Cec i I to O f n -^ , JU-^ r}^-^ February, 1955 THE TIGER'S ROAR f age 3 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. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Scholarship: Soror Doris Sin- gleton has honored Alpha Iota Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority by earning membership into the honorary society. Alpha Kappa Mu- She is a native of Savannah, a junior majoring in elementary education, and she has been active in the dramatic tlub. Soror Singleton is presi- dent of the recently organized Spanish Club. Practice Teachers: Sorors Mary Hagtns and Bernice Murphy are doing student teaching at West Savannah and DeRenne Elemen- tary Schools respectively. Evelyn Culpepper is doing her practice Work in Waycross, Ga. Sympathy: All Sorors extend deepest sympathy to Soror Mary hagm following the death of her grandmother.

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. Georgia Simpson. Dorothy Moore, Reporters. 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.

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 Herty Hall, pause for a few mo- 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- ingly repeating French phrases to an indifferent class, or the 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 languages in question, immedi- ately followed by the voices of students who are now Intensely son is a sophomore majoring in biology.

No man ever plotted revolution on a full stomach. A world at work and at least reasonably well fed is a world at peace. James F. Byrnes 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 (Continued on Page 4) SIZE ^ ^ FILTER TIP TAREYTON Gives You The True Tobacco Taste You've Been Missing! PRODUCT OF iJ/ic Jtn&tu:ivn Ja^teo~K^n ,j^,^ 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. S. S. C. Splits With Bethume The Savannah State Tigers split a doublelieader at Savan- nah with Bethume Cookman. The Savannah girls lost their second game in 4 years by los- ing to Bethume 27-37.

Alexander Smith 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.

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."

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.

Leftwlch Member of: INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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 i Continued on I'age 4j 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 -| in variety and number as the year progresses, W. K.

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.

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.

Bryson, Jr. A tribute to Omega Seniors: When the keys of the Ham- mond Organ lead their melodic sounds to the strains of God of Our Fathers, Alpha Gamma's big four will bid farewell to Savan- nah State College. So well have these young men stayed together during their four years matriculation that they are sometimes called the syndicate. Yes, Brothers Ashe. Bryson, Lof- ton, and McCall will soon be leaving the college community which they served so well. They are slate dto do their student- teaching in Industrial Education the spring quarter of this year.

We are loaded with activities this spring so be on your P's and Q's, 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. Fftshiouh 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! , . .

By asking yourself these ques- tions concerning the previous jobs you have held will help you to determine your special inter- ests. Your leisure activities and hobbies will also aid you in de- termining the things in which you are particularly interested. You need not limit yourself to the questions listed above, but may consider any others that may occur to you or be of some help in obtaining a sound anal- ysis. Compare the items you have considered. Do they give you any picture of the kind of things you like to do most? A careful study of the first group of questions listed above will de- termine whether the enthusiasm for a teacher has colored your analysis is necessary in order to decrease the possibilities of drift- ing into a vocation in which you will be unhappy. When you have found the point at which your abilities skills, and special interests coin- cide, you have a powerful com- bination for success. don't want to two or three times, you don't have any business here." But you insist that you don't have the time to study. You will therefore run the risk of bad grades or even failure. The in- structor will look at you kindly but 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. In George Bernard Shaw's St. Joan. Charles the King, com- 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 after hours just because I want- College Goals An Values Reubin Cooper It is my firm belief and con- viction at this time that thous- ands of students enroll in Col- lege every year without consid- ering the significance of thf- fact, I take the time here to noi only invite, but admonish al new College students to discus- briefly some important facts tr consider in their quest for know ledge and a better understandin; of the world in which we live. This year, as previous year? young men and women ar^ flocking to our colleges in larg numbers. Their motives an*, reasons for going are probabl. to be with iiigh school classmate: for some, and others a desire t elevate themselves by learnin^ more in order to make bette citizens, better homes, bette churches, better communitie. 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 (Continued on Page 5) November, 1955 THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 5 Admission Test For Graduate Study The Admission Test for Grad- uate Study in Business, required for entrance by a number of graduate business schools or di- visions throughout the country, will be offered on three dates during the coming year, accord- ing to Educational Testing Ser- vice, which prepares and admin- isters the test.

Payne, 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 SSC Seeks To Increase Its Services In The Division of Trades and Indnstries In an interview prior to leaving for the White House Conference on Education, W.

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. ( Co ;l to J'liiic 6 1 Y.M.C.A.

Member of: INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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.

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. Louverta A. Sharpe Because of Him Because he lived so long ago And made so straight the way; Because of that, and only that Is why I live today. Because God was so generous In giving his son to be Mocked, hanged, and despised of men That we too might be free. Because Christ was born of Mary So humbly at the Inn Not in rich attire but of low estate That the poor too might know him. Because he disputed lawyers and doctors When he was only twelve years old Who thought they had the ""Know how" But couldn't cure a sin-sick soul. yes Jesus lived long ago And today he is living still He lives within the hearts of those Who obey him and keep his will. Reubin Cooper The Periscope By William 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. W. K. Payne President a nine-year deadlock and in- crease the United Nations mem- bership to seventy-seven. Around the world today we find a perpetual state of con- fusion and high tension. Almost anywhere, at anytime it is likely that the fuse to the highly charged powder keg be lit. In the Middle East Egypt and Israel continue to clash over the Gaza strip. The Communists have been shipping tanks, jets and submarines to Egypt. In or- der to protect itself. Israel has appealed to the United States for armament to maintain the balance of power, The United States has refused to contribute support to what appears an arms race. However the United States and Great Britain have formal- ly warned the two nations that they would support and join the attacked nation in what might be a preventive war. For the twenty-first time since France's liberation, the govern- ment has been overthrown. This achieved the desire of Premier Faure to hold an early election for a new National Assembly. A measure introduced earlier into the assembly to hold a new elec- tion at an early date was de- feated but because more than a majority of the Assembly voted to overthrow Faure's Cabinet, ac- iConrinueil lo J'agc 3) Honors Day During the past school year o 1954-55 twenty-seven students o Savannah State College hav' used their time wisely to the bes of their abilities and by doin; so. have been able to earn a; average of "B" or higher durin^ the three quarters.

IJeceniber, 1955 THE TIGER'S ROAR SSC Tops Claflin IiiHomecoininaTie The Savannah State Tigers took complete charge to hand the Claflin Panthers a 19-6 de- feat before hundreds of Alumni and Students at the Annual Homecoming game which was played on the Athletic Field at Savannah State College. Savannah State scored touch- downs in the first, second and third quarters. Charles Cozart scored the first touchdown, Ro- land James raced 95 yards for the second, and Willie Batchelor scored the third. Charles Cameron recovered a Claflin fumble on the Panther's 45 yard line and Charles Cozart passed to halfback Joseph Rey- nolds for 30 yards. On the next play, Charles Cozart raced ;iround left end for the TD. The luck for the extra point was !ilocked. In the second quarter, Roland Tames showed the spectators hat he could call plays AND an the ball. After Claflin hreatened to score in the second . quarter by four successive drives hich gave Claflin possession of :ie ball on the Tigers' 15 yard ' ne, James intercepted a pass om QB Frank Lowery and iced 95 yards for Savannah tate's second TD. The try for le extra point failed. Halfbacks Joseph Reynolds, illie Batchelor, Charles Cozart, ; ad Moses King drove to the ! mther's 15 yard line after re- iving a kick from the Pan- 1 ers.

Captain McDaniel made a short speech that was followed by short speeches from the other representatives who wished the Tigers success in 1956. After the speeches, dinner was i:erved and the group was enter- tained by music from the one- Piece "All-Star Band" (the Juke- box). The Speeder's Song The Xavier University News recently printed this advice es- pecially for people with a heavy 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." The Periscope (Continued from Page 2) cording to France's law. the Cab- inet after being advised by the President, could vote to dissolve the Assembly. The Cabinet dis- solved the Assembly and voting for a new National Assembly will take place January second. Premier Faure launched his campaign on a platform calling for a more stable government. He is also asking that the system be changed so that the dissolu- tion of the Assembly would be automatic provided a ministry is upset before it has lasted two years. 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.

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. It's All a Matter of Definition A recent Issue of the Oklahoma Daily listed these collegiate dell- nitions: COLLEGE: A mental institu- tion.

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.

Member of: INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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. Messajie From The Pr4'si Never look at thy brother's wife with lust, nor thy Neigh- bor's.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

All of these except those indicated were from the Savannah State College, Savannah, Georgia, There were 18 counties of Georgia and two counties of South Carolina were represented in the workshop. The 36 in-ser- vice teachers and the counties they represent include Mrs, Mattie P. Mathis Hicks. Liberty County: Mrs. M. T, Crowford. Chatham County; Mrs. Kathryn B. Morton.

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 Present Dramatic Comedy The Savannah State College Drama Guild presented a three- act dramatic comedy "The Love- ly Duckling", on July 26 in Mel- drim Auditorium at 8:15 p.m. The play concerns a pretty tal- ented sixteen year old girl "Pat" Holmes and her whole-hearted efforts to make as much trouble as possible for her new step- mother.

The guest players are Ann Marie Meyers, student at St. Pius X High School and daughter of Dean and Mrs. T, C, Meyers of Savannah State College, and Sally Kate Moore, student at State College, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs, P. S, Moore of Sa- vannah, Other characters in the play are: Thomas Johnson, Rob- ert Porter. Earl Williams, Ann Frazier, Wilheimina Hardeman, Helen D. Williams, Ann Butler, and Glenn Butler.

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 .'^.erve their members In all as- dom and information awaiting pects of growth. When an organ anyone who demands it. If you ization fails to do that it has lost have now concluded that I am (Cominued on /V-V The 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.

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. ^.C.A.

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".

Member of: INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS FSJess" COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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. Extensive Renovation Program Underway At Savannah State College Savannah State College is making extensive plans in prepara- tion for its 1956-57 school term which began on September 23. At one of his weekly press conferences Dr. W. K. Payne. President of Savannah State College, elaborated on the gigantic renovation program which has already been initiated at Savannah State College to make it better able to meet the needs of numerous students. Wilcox Gymnasium is being renovated. The outside will be waterproofed and painted. The inside will be replastered and painted. The rest rooms in Meldrim Hal lare being covered with qulrrie tile. New toilet fixtures and individual steel metal stalls are being Installed. A lounging area will be furnished for the women's area. Meldrim Hall is used as Administration Building with offices, classrooms and an auditorium. Hill Hall. In which the libarary is temporarily located, is being rearranged and redecorated. The entire first floor will be used for the library in order to provide catalog space in preparation for the new library to be constructed in the near future. The south wing of the second floor of Hill Hall is being renovated to house the following offices: Education. Economics and Research. Social Sciences, Public Relations and Alumni Affairs, as well as quarters for the practical nurses enrolled in the State Area Trade School. The north wing Is being redesigned for apartment quarters for single teachers. The floors are being covered with master-paved tile. Individual steel-metal stalls are being provided in the rest rooms. The stair-way, halls, as well as offices and living quarters 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. Morgan Hall, the center for the Division of Trades and In- dustries, State Area Trade School and Audio-Visual Center, is being painted and fire doors are being installed. In order to make way for the construction of the technical building and new library, Dr Payne pointed out. It was necessary for the Board of Regents to sell several frame cottages and Parson's Hall; brame buildings are being removed from the campus. By C. Eugene Hubbard 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 to investigate whether Negroes are being deprived of voting rights in Pierce county. Georgia cind in Ovacliita and Rapides Parishes. Lousiana, The American League Pennant 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.

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 they had secured his signature or snapshot.

Flowers for the Dancers Miss Savannah State (Carolyn Pat- terson Bell) presents flowers to the Robert Joffrey Dancers shortly after their performance of "Within Four Walls." 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.

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?

City Slicker: "Oh, I see, you make hay while the son shines." 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." Page 6 THE TIGER'S ROAR 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.

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.

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.

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- muda shorts and long socks to khakis and the new Italian-look sweater-shirts.

Jo n the MARCH OF D MES Your Slake In A Free Press 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.

A Free Press (Continued from Page 4) 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.

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, (ci Attain a semester scholar- ship index of at least 5.50, Originally, the p r a ct i c e of recognizing a student with 5.00 Jeniison Prexy Veterans^ Club Evans Jemison, a senior ma- joring in Industrial Education, was selected president of the Veterans' Club.

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. ASTRONOMERS! Long sunsets make you impatient?

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).

"Accidents sometimes occur in the home due lo brake failure," August. 1957 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."

The Editor. 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 THE TIGER'S ROAR November, 1957 THE PERISCOPE mmu )\m 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. And drooped their faces is if to hide. To their surprise Autumn had frightened The fragrance and beauty which Spring had brightened. 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. W, K. PAYNE, President. There once was a maiden of Si am Who said to her lover, young Kiam, "If you kiss me of course, You will have to use force But goodness knows, you are stronger than I am." Immortal Love By Carl J. Paison The seasons come; three months are all they stay. 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. November. 1957 THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 3 FASFIIOXS New Fashions In Hair Styling By Katie M.

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.

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.

November 2. witnessed the third conference game of the season for the Tigers. Savannah State. 2-1 under- dogs, was sparked by Moses King, who in the second quar- ter, intercepted Ram quarterback Frank Feulles' pass and ran 80 yards to score The Tigers failed to get the extra point, putting them out front 6-0. The Tigers and Ihe Ra.ms failed to score until John Smith of the Rams broke through the Tiger's defense to block Moses King's kick on a third down, and the ball was then brought down on the five yard line. Smith on the next play rammed over from the five for the touchdown with only a few minutes remaining in the game. The Rams then failed to score their extra point, evening the score 6-6. A fumble on the eighth gave Savannah State possession of the ball but the Tigers failed to pick up a first down. losing all iiopes for winning the game, Nathaniel Davis. SSC sopho- more led the SEAC Conference Champions to an upset victory over the Hornets of Alabama State College. 13-7 to earn its first victory of the season. With only seven minutes of play in the last quarter, Davis raced across the Hornets goal line and scored the winning touchdown plus the extra point to give the Tigers the victory, 13-7. SSC scored their first touch- down when John Price inter- cepted a pass on his 28-yard line and on the next play Ray How- ard, raced 25 yards to Alabama's 3-yard line. Moses (Walk the Water) King carried the ball to the 2-yard line and fullback John Price bucked his way through for 2 yards and the first touchdown of the game was scored King missed the extra point when lie received a bad pass from center The Hornet's took to the air (like Sputnik I in the second quarter on the passing of their quarterback Julius Hope to half- back John Ransaw to tie the score 6-6. Ransaw ran the extra point to give the Hornets a 7-6 lead at halftime,. The third quarter was score- less, with both teams exchang- ing punts. On the opening of the fourth quarter, the Hornets received a punt on its 40-yard line and ran the ball to the Tiger's 18, before they were forced to give up the ball on downs. After trying two running plays, the Tigers then kicked to the Hornets 35-yard line. On the next play, the Hornets were thrown for a loss of ten yards. The Tigers clinched the game when Nathaniel Davis ran 32 yards to the Hornets one-yard line, Moses King tried off tackle for no gain and Davis ran up the middle to score. Davis again was given the ball as he went around end for the extra point to give the Tigers a 13-7 victory FOOTBALL SOUND l * -1-^ -w^-- ^^ r^ '^t^. PR^Fiv^^vj..

West Plume AD 2-;i606 ^vL/ 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 Gaiiiina Chi Elects Sweetheai't For 1957 The Gamma Chi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi began the school year by unanimously electing Jane Morgan as their Sweetheart for 1957-58- Jane is a freshman and hails from Sa- vannah.

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.

Are You A Bit m ble-Puppy ? (ACPI In addition to putting out the DAILY CAMPUS, jour- nalists at University of Connec- ticut are busy helping organize a Centrifugal Bumble - puppy league. From a small beginning at Uconn's New Haven hall, the Bumble-puppy idea is spreading over eastern schools Mark Hawthorne, DAILY CAMPUS managing editor, re- ported first on the league in his "Shoes. Ships and Sealing Wax" column. He explains. "The idea came from Aldous Huxley's nov- el BRAVE NEW WORLD." Hawthorne even used a pictu.e of an Official Centrifugal Bum- ble-puppy Machine, which is used in the game. Powered by solar energy, it is nine feet tall. shiny and has a base with eight holes in it through which the ball, called a "round." is thrown by the spinning centrifugal disk. "Above all," says Hawthorne, "a team must keep its CBP ma- chine shiny." He invites inquiries about organizing teams at other schools. Letters to him at the DAILY CAMPUS, Student Union, University of Connecticut, Stores, will get replies.

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.

What part should the newspaper play in politics campus, local, state and national, and should the newspaper report crimes, disciplinary actions, suicides, scandals and the like, or be cri- tical of college regulations or enterprises" Forums were held with the college newspaper and yearbook advisors.

On second row: Yvonne Hooks, Betty Cumbess, Margaret Bing, and Willie Hamilton. Alpha Kappa Mu Iiiductiou Cereinoiiy Dr. Horace Mann Bond, Dean, Atlanta University, School of Education, was the guest speaker of the induction ceremony of Alpha Nu chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society held in Vleldriu;n Auditorium. January 22. 1958. Seven students were in- ducted into this society and recognition was given to high school honor students and tutors of the college. "The Negro Scholar a Con- tinuum," was the topic of Dr. Bond's speech. He pointed out that all men who wouidj be scholars are a continuum. A re- :ent survey by Dr. Bond revealed ^.hat most Negro educators' lore- lathers had little or no educa- tion. 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." The candidates of Alpha Kap- pa Mu Honor Society were in- troduced by Johnny Campbell. iConliriiied on page 4) Omegas Sponsor Chapel Prograiu The Reverend P. A Patterson, pastor of Butler Presbyterian Church, of Savannah, was the guest speaker at the annual chapel program of Alpha Gam- ma chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, held January 30, in Meldrim Auditorium. Reverend Patterson spoke on the subject of "Make the Most of Your Time," He stated, "What you will become, you are becom- ing now." The most important thing of college is to lose very little time There are many things that can distract a stu- dent's attention, namely cards and ping pong. All these things are nice but the main essence of {Conliniied -a i-r;:r 2) 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 To Be Observed March 2-6 According to an announcement from the office of the College Minister the theme for this year's celebration of Religious Emphasis Week is "World Peace Through Christian Fellowship" This theme was selected by open ballot of the student b)dy and is to be the general theme for the week March 2-6, 1958. The Reverend Robert Harring- ton of New Orleans, Louisiana, a pastor and area secretary of the Methodist Church, will be the guest minister for Religious Emphasis Week observation. Rev.

Robert Harrhigton StuHeut Book of Codification Released All the existing policies and statements of principles of the USNSA have been compiled In a 13-page manuscript titled "Condification of Basic Policy Declarations. Resolutions, Spe- cial Resolutions and Mandates". During the five months since the 10th National Student Congress, the staff of USNSA, all of whom are students on a year's leave from their studies, has worked on the preparation of this codi- fication. It was drawn up from the resolutions passed over the past ten years by delegates from colleges and universities affil- iated with USNSA. which is the largest representative intercol- legiate student organization in the country. 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- dents reaction to problems they face daily on the campus, such as student health, relations with faculty and administration and the effects of classroom over- crowding, other resolutions show the influence of the national and international programs of USNSA which have brought a new dimension to the American student community.

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.

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.

At such a time, when I am confused, discour- aged, and uncertain from passed days, I can find in Your gift a guiding light.

News 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 enough. In other places, however, the tone is lightened by the author's use of such vivid descriptions as: "the ax of the forest settler was yet to echo through the virgin forest" or "the long shoreline of the Tybees necklaced by the white sand beaches," These and other phrases add to the light, readable style of author Lawrence. guest book, took guests to be served and participated in a part of the musical group which sang.

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.

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- lication, including catalogs, bul- letins, and yearbooks; alumni af- fairs, including scholarships, and news letters, and student re- cruitment. "All of these areas are equal; there are no firsts," Mr. Scott said. 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.

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 State Beat MARRIAGES Julia Tolbert to Arthur Fluellen on December 22, 1957 Katherine Murphy to Ber- nard A. Huston on December 28, 1957. 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 print. We can run a newspape: but not when students do nc write the news, THE EDITOR IZUNT IT WEERD?

On the job training in drafting, machining, pat- tern making and metal founding is combined with an opportunity to earn credit-s toward an engineering degree at Union College. Applicants must be in the up THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 3 per half of their classes, have an 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. Interested applicants should write, giving full details of high school background, and includ- ing an official transcript of grades, to Supervisor, Apprentice Training.

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. Answers to What Do You Know About . . . From Page 4 1, Caesar- 2. Thomas A. Edison. 3- Captain Lawrence 4. Nathan Hale. 5.

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. SPOT LIGHT By Iris Lee Parrlsh This month, Mattle B. Black- well and Andrew Russell, the Spotlight has stopped on you. The students have found you to be two of the most pleasing per- sonalities on campus, because of your reputable character, your scholastic abilities, and your ability to get along with others. Mrs. BlackwcU ., hails from Elberton, Georgia. She is a graduate of Elberton High School and a transfer student from Clark College, Atlanta, Georgia, with a major in mathe- matics and a minor in social science. She has attended Sa- vannah State College during the summers of 1950, '53, Mrs. Black- well has taught in the Bowman Elementary School for 11 years. She is a member of the GTEA, advisor of the Bowman Tri-Hl-Y Club, and president of the Mis- sionary Club. Andrew Russell is a native of EUzabeth City, New Jersey, and a graduate of Maggcalliff High School He is now majoring in English and minoring in social science.

V. Clay, Worksliop Director; Olivia S. Golden, and Benjamin Simon, two of the participants on the program. Dr. B. T. Griffith is aiso Workshop Director. reviewing scientific principles relative to the problems whicla are being studied! organizing data for teaching purposes; pre- paring experiments and teach- ing aids for better understand- ing of scientific principles; making use of the natural re- sources in the teaching of sciences; and using literature on the natural sciences to the greatest advantage. Teachers of the first through the seventh grades are enrolled in this Workshop, The organiza- tion of the Workshop is similar to that of other educational workshops. Dr. B- T, Griffith, chairman. Department of Biolog.v and C, V, Clay, chairman, Department of Cliemistry, are directors of the Workshop. 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 What Do You Know About? . . .

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. WORKSHOP COMMITTEES CONFER ERRATUM The June issue of The Tiger's Roar gave the amount of the literary prize won by Mrs. L, Colvin Upshur as $500. This was an error. The first-place award in the College Language Associ- ation Creative Writing Contest carried with it an award of $50. those already offered by the Naval ROTC. The so-called Hol- loway Plan provides for regular Naval ROTC students a full tui- tion scholarship plus room and board, books and supplies throughout four years of college. The Army and the Air Force have no such program of grants. CHAIRMEN OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION WORKSHOP ( OM MITTEES CONFER Left to right: Mrs. J. L Da\is ( hath m County, co-chairman; Mrs. Ida Willis.

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 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 papers in the basic mathematic. courses; Attendance at certain of th. departmental meetings and par ticipation in the discussions: Assistance in blackboard drill at sessions for weaker students and For seniors, some actual teach- ing in freshman sections unde careful supervision. "I anticipate a four-fold re- turn from the successful instal lation of the assistantships," Dr Dorwart said. "First, an overa! 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 an- to the students than outrigh gifts; and fourth, an awarenes. on the part of mathematics de partments in other colleges o the need for a definite prograr like this to encourage majors ii: this important field," COMMUNICATION WORKSHOP IN ACTION Communications Worksliop Produces Varied Joiu-nals.

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, DANIEL WASHINGTON 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- munity, LEROY MOBLEY 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.

The Editor. March, 1958 THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 5 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. NOTES of Interest National And Varsity Sports Roundtahle (Conli t,! In l->if!r II 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. Careers And Marriage 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," Spotlight 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.

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.

GEORGIA Vol. 11, No. 8 HONOR ROLL SPRING QUARTER, 1958 ARCHITECTS DRAWING OF THE NEW LIBRARY no under construction at SSC gives a preliminar.v view ot the ha]f-niillion dollar structure that will be completely air-conditioned and contain the latest facilities. Construction Well Advanced for New Library for Savannah State CoUeee The new library, a one-half million dollar structure, is rapidly taking shape on the moss-laden campus of Savannah State College. The location of the library is to be at the main entrance to the college. The structure is being built of mat-type face brick in colors similar to Richard R. Wright Hall, men's dormitory. The construction is under the ^ supervision of Rives Worrel. with Cletus W. Bergen and William McClllloil'^ll P. Bergen, architects. The ^ library will include fire-proof stair towers, and fire-proof walls. It is to be ell shaped and completely air-conditioned. Other additions are a lounge and recreation room for the staff, adequate rest rooms for men and women, and public tele- phones. There will be a receiv- ing room through which books and supplies will be indexed and processed. In line with the latest modern library facilities, it will include an audio-visual auditorium for movies and film demonstrations, audio-visual storage, a seminar room, textbook and institutional material, reading room, music room, and a large reading area. The east elevation of the library will consist of two stories of window walls forming the out- side wall of the lobby, stack room, and balconies- President W. K, Payne re- cently announced that bids for the one million dollar technical building will be issued by the University Building Authority, and that construction on this addition should begin within the next sixty days. The college will soon be a bee-hive of activity, with a two and one-half million dollar construction program taking form. 565 Enrolled at SSC This Suninier Ben Ingersoll, Registrar at Sa- vannah State College, announces the enrollment of 459 students for the summer session, with 106 enrolled in the Department of Trades and Industries for a total of 565.

Payne, presi- dent of Savannah State College, has appointed N. V- McCullough professor of English and chair- man of the Department of Lan- guages and Literature at Savan- nah State College. Dr. McCullough was born in Youngstown, Ohio, and attended Covington Elementary School, Hayes Junior High School, and Rayen High School in that city. After serving almost three years in the U. S. Navy, he matricu- lated at the Ohio State Univer- sity, where in 1949 he earned the BA and BS degrees, being one of the few to earn two de- grees at one commencement. Later, he earned the MA degree in 1950 at the same university- All of his work is in English, ex- cept for a major in speech and the BS in Education. His doc- toral study was done at Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio; and the PhD degree was awarded to him in September, 1957. The subject of his disserta- tion is : "The Morphology of John Bunyan. Including Ob- servations on Syntax. Grammar, and Style With Special Reference to the 1611 King James Bible," He taught EngUsh at State Teachers College, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, for two years, and was chairman of the Di- vision of Humanities at Lane College. Jackson, Tennessee, for three years. He also served as professor of English and Speech at Lane College for one year. Dr. McCullough has published one book. The Other Side of Hell, and another small volume of poems is currently at press and should be released soon. The title of the new volume is Lemons on the Rosebush.

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. College Playhouse to Present ^^Bishop's Mantle" in August By Pearlie M. Haynes The College Playhouse is busy getting ready "The Bishop's Mantle" by Mai-ion Johnson.

Page 2 THE TIGER'S ROAR August. 1958 iiiK iM{i:siJ)E.M's mi:ssa(;k 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. W. K. PAYNE. President 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- izations in which you will render the most service to your com- munity, LEROY MOBLEY 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 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.

Aueust. 1958 THE TIGER'S ROAR General Eleetrie Work-Study Plan at Union College Has Vaeaneies From 25 to 30 openings for the fall of 1958 are still available in the General Electric College Level Apprentice Training Program at Schenectady, N. Y. On the job training in drafting, machining, pat- tern making and metal founding is combined with an opportunity to earn credits toward an engineering degree at Union College. Applicants must be in the up Page 3 per half of their classes, have an 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. 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 State area. Among the current apprentices are young men from California, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia. Interested applicants should write, giving full details of high school background, and includ- ing an official transcript of grades, to Supervisor, Apprentice Training, General Electric Com- pany, 1 River Road. Schenectady 5, N. Y. Year of Chemise This will be known as the "Year of the Chemise" (circa 1958) 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 biouson 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 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. 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 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. Answers to What Do You Know Ahout . . . From Page 4 1. Caesar, 2, Thomas A. Edison. 3- Captain Lawrence 4. Nathan Hale. 5.

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. SPOT LIGHT By Iris Lee Parrish This month. Mattle B.

Golden, and Benjamin Simon, two of Ihe participants on the program. Dr. B. T. Griffith is also Workshop Director. reviewing scientific principles relative to the problems which are being studied ! organizing data for teaching purposes; pre- paring expeiiments and teach- ing aids for better understand- ing of scientific principles: making use of the natural re- sources in the teaching of sciences; and using literature on the natural sciences to the greatest advantage. Teachers of the first through tlie seventh grades are enrolled in this Workshop, The organiza- tion of the Workshop is similar to that of other educational workshops. Dr. B. T. Griffith, chairman. Department of Biology and C, V. Clay, chairman. Department of Chemistry, are directors of the Workshop. 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 What !)< You Know About,:' . . .

The four universities par- ticipating in the program are the University of California, the University of Chicago, Columbia University and Harvard Univei - 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 Far 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.

Trinity (^ollese 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."

Page 2 THE TIGER'S ROAR November. 1958 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. \V.

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."

COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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. W. K. PAYNE, President 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.

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.

Ex-Senator's Advice Koniinucl lrm I'lige 1) 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?"

April, 1959 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.

"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.

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 Contest Announced Robert H.

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.

They were delayed because of automobile trouble. The Tigers scored 31 points. Claflin. last year's defending 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. Pictured, from left to right, back row, and J. Watley. Front rom, E. Bell, and J. Bowen. J Westly. E, McGraw, 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 and the manager is Willie Ludden The Tigers have 39 men out for 'the squad, including nine lettermen with from one to three seasons experience. The return- ing lettermen are John Stron, first baseman, sophomore. Al- bany; James Bowen, third base- man, sophomore. Albany; Jesse Carter, catcher, junior, Macon; Moses Calhoun, riglit field, senior. Savannah; Leroy Brown. catcher, senior. Savannah; Roland James, center field. senior, Savannah; Moses King, pitcher, senior. Savannah; M. Smith, pitcher, sophomore, and Willie Ludden, who by his past performances as a pitcher and an alert baseball player was elected manager of the 1959 Tigers. Ludden is a junior and hails from Tifton, Jolin Owens sprinters for the and Sammy Wliite Sft season. THiNKLlSH 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.

Mr MacDonald says, "The aim is to make the 'well-roimded student'; the re- sult is usually the . . . block- 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 students all over the country to the opportunity offered by the essay contest of expressing their sincere feelings about the weak- nesses of higher education to- day. But a hopeful note was sounded in the intention of many of these young people tu enter the teaching profession. Robert MacDonald, in fact, will use his prize money for graduate school where he will work to- ward his ambition of becoming one of the "good professors." Freshmen enjoy the spring .sun.

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.

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.

Reprint^Reader's Digest 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, Holiday Bethxine-Cooknian Presents Concert The Bethune-Cookman College Summer School Choir of Day- tona Beach, Florida, under the direction of Thomas Demps, pre- sented a concert at the all- college assembly, Thursday, July 2.

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.

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.

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.

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 Picluri-tl .lUuve is the first consultant (or the secondary and elementary workshops at Savannah State College, Donell Bean, a representative from the Bell and Howell Company, as he gives demonstration on use of I6IVI1VI sound and projection equipment. 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.

On every college campus, you will find an individual that takes pride in shedding a little joy in the Uves of his colleagues. This individual uses humor to dis- play to his fellow schoolmates that "things are never as bad as they seem." At Savannah State College. Thomas i"Tom"i J. Farlow, Jr.. is considered as the campus- wide humorist. Tom is a native of Folkston, Georgia.

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.
