"A voteless people is a hope-

adopted by Alpha Phi Alpha

years ago and is more apparent
today than at any time since
our emancipation.

Delta Eta Chapter of Alpha

fundamental step in the march
to "firstclass citizenship" is the
registration and awareness of
the obligation to vote, of all

Howard Jason
Delivers Address

By Marvin L, Green

Mr. Howard Jason delivered
the principal address during the
regular all-college assembly on
October 22. at 12 noon in
Meldrim Auditorium.

Mr. Jason, instructor in the
Department of Languages and
Literature, chose as his thesis:
"Imagination," He stated that
whatever we do, we may need a
number of qualities, but we must
have imagination, "the power
which enables a woman to take
a scrap of cloth, a bit of wire,
and malie a hat out of them."

He set forth that the imagina-
tion when used without control
can cause one to waste away
one's time in day dreaming, and
also that a lack of imagination
may be equally harmful.

The introduction of the
speaker was made by Eddie
Bryant; closing remarks, by
President William K, Payne.

The Editor Speaks

Editor's Note: This editorial does not necessarily repre-
sent the views of the Faculty, Administration or Student
Body of Savannah State College.

The past summer proved to be the most interesting period of
my entire life. I attended the National Congress of the United
States National Student Association at the University of Illinois,
Urbana. Illinois.

The congress was attended by students representing various
colleges and universities throughout the United States. Upon my
arrival there. I had no vision of the variety of events that were
to occur. These events had a marked effect upon my evaluation of
my fellow men.

This congress Is paralleled with the procedure of the United States
Congress. This first three days of the congress was given to dis-
cussion groups with various topics of interest. I was enrolled in
the discussion group concerned with Desegregation. The group was
composed of six students and a moderator. One of the participants
was from North Carolina and stated that he shared a moderate
view of the subject of integration. He set forth that his purpose
for registering in this particular group was the fact that integration
was inevitable and he desired ways of bringing it about smoothly.

As the discussion progressed, a strange incident occurred. He
came to the realization that the other views present were quite
liberal. From this point on. the moderator's view became rather
conservative.

The second day of discussion gave rise to many surprises
The size of the group increased tremendously. Two of the new
participants were from South Carolina and shared the most con-
servative views concerning integration that I have ever entertained.
These individuals presented a number of analogies supp-orting their
views (negative) on the integration question. Of times I was guilty
of employing unpractical tactics by attacking these analogies very
violently. Mine was a normal reaction, for never before had I the
chance to discuss this topic with a member of the "majority."
I attribute this fault to the isolation that is ever prevalent between
members of the various "races."

One of the prime reasons for the anti-integration campaign
by my Caucasian brothers was their "Rationalization On Sex."
With the help of some other Caucasian brothers I was able to
suppress this rationale. (At least from the discussion.)

Communication breeds understanding in abundance, I share
a great deal of respect for my brothers from Carolina, however,
I submit no allegiance to their conservative views. The discussiori
of the various views may or may not have converted their opinion
of me or mine of them, but the important factor is that members
of different "races" were sitting down at a table of "arbitration"'
and discussing a problem which is affecting the lives of every
individual in the United States.

If the problems of the South are to be solved, then a system
of race commuications (on an equal basis) must be established. If
the United States is to remain United, then this system must be
established and God speed!

I feel that the students should have more to say about what
affects them. The congressman does not necessarily reflect the
views of the mass of people in the South and especially not the
majority of the students. Adults, if we the students of today are
to take the reins of the world of tomorrow, then let us "taste"
this task now! Let us do our own thinking and you "advise"
when necessary.

During the duration of the discussions, it was interesting to
note that my brothers sought and in many cases found sup-
pressions of human rights in the North. This was supplied as
rationale to "justify" the South's defiance of BROWN vs BOARD
OF EDUCATION during the student congress.

Upon leaving the congress, I left with many thoughts of a
variea nature. But these were not thoughts of hate, but thoughts
of thanks and understanding for such a valuable experience.

My Kind of Democracy

By Leford Tobias, Jr.
All too often today we tend to
forget the great moral heritage
which is ours. The bustle of
everyday life, the everyday
chores, the demands of our jobs
all these becloud our vision,
America needs a rededication to
those moral values which guided
our forefathers. These are the
guldeposts by which we should
chart our course.

Today the nation is being at-
tacked by a dangerous enemy
communism- The Communists
seeks to destory our way of life.
They would tear down the free
government and establish a
Soviet State. Our historic
liberties would be wiped away.
Instead of law we would be
ruled by a fascist dictator. The
concentration camp, the secret
arrests, the purge trial would be
the hallmarks of everyday life.
Our destiny would be in the
hands of a small clique from
whose decisions there would be
no appeal.

This is the danger we face to-
day. Communism is an evil. It is
atheistic. It bitterly hates all
religions. The Communists de-
test men who live by the princi-
ples of fair play, justice, and
brotherhood. To Communists.
love is a sign of weakness. Only
brute force, ruthlessly applied,
has any meaning.

To meet the Communist
challenge, we in America must
rely on the great moral heritage
which is ours. We need to know
more about the history of our
nation. We need to appreciate
the courage of the individuals
who fought through wilderness,
swamp, and mountain for the
ideals in which they believed.
We need to know the valor of
the men of 1776. Our citizens
should read and re-read the his-
toric documents of America, such
as the Constitution and the
Declaration of Independence
whose famous passage , , , "We
hold these truths to be self-
evident that all men are created
equal" , . . has lived in the hearts
of men who gave their lives that
this country might remain free
and independent.

The Periscope Despite ISature's Ways

By James N. Nevels

Looking Bach

Points to Ponder

Albert Schweitzer in "Memories
of Childhood and Youth":

No one has a right to say to
another: "Because we belong to
each other as we do, I have a
right to know all your thoughts."
Not even a mother may treat
her child in that way. All de-
mands of this sort are foolish
and unwholesome. In this
matter, giving is the only valu-
able process; it is only giving
that stimulates. Impart as much
as you can of your spiritual be-
ing to those who are on the road
with you, and accept as some-
thing precious what comes back
to you from them.

Macmillan

John Foster Dulles:

It is my experience that those
who are most positive about
political problems are able to
be positive only because they do
not know all the relevant facts.
Those who are most harsh in
their judgments are able to be
harsh for that same reason.
When the whole of a problem is
known, solutions become ex-
cessively difficult and judgments
are not easily made.

Prom a 1955 speech before
the Fifth Annual All-Jesuit
Alumni Dinner

Robert Louis Stevenson in
"Virginibus Puerisque and
Familiar Studies , of Men and
Books":

Hope, they say, deserts us at
no period of our existence. From
first to last, and in the face of
smarting disillusions, we con-
tinue to expect good fortune,
better health and better con-
duct, and that so confidently
that we judge it needless to
deserve them,

Dutton

The recent visit by Soviet
leader Nikita S. Krushchev
might help ease the cold war
tension which has faced the
world for over a decade. How-
ever, Mr, "K" still holds his
viewpoint that communism will
bury capitalism. Not literally,
but in the sense that com-
munism will overtake the ac-
complishments of capitalism and
push it off the globe. According
to the dictator of over 200
million people, the Capitalistic
system is reaching the point of
diminishing returns and when
the system can no longer employ
the people, the workers will rise
and overthrow the system.

What Krushchev thinks about
capitalism and what we think
about communism do not alter
the fact that these two leading
systems in world affairs must
find a way to exist peacefully
together on the same planet.
According to the Soviet leader.
T speak of co-existence, not be-
cause I want capitalism to exist,
but because . , , it does exist."
"It does exist" are the words
that both systems must recog-
nize and respect. Our President
Eisenhower must recognize this
fact when he visits Russia when
the cold spell is over and things
are green again.

One Hiding Place

Cuba's Prime Minister Fidel
Castro, eight months after
liberating Cuba from the Batista
regime, seems to be approaching
the same "pandora's box" that
closed in on his conquered foe.
Castro has constantly boasted of
a democratic Cuba, a land of
free people, but the two overt
expressions of freedom are miss-
ing, freedom of the press and
open elections.

As head of a disorganized gov-
ernment supplemented by chaos
and confusion, Cuba is well ap-
proaching a police state type
government. Anyone speaking
out for private rights is doomed
to the fate afforded all counter-
revolutionaries.

In any event, the Sierra
Maestra will welcome its long
adopted companion. That is If
he can escape in time.

A woman received two notices

from the city: (1) the tax assess-
ment on her tenement house
was raised 20 per cent, (2) the
building was declared unfit for
occupancy.

The Reader's Digest

A recent incident occurred on
this campus which I feel merits
the consideration of Mr. John
Q. Student.

This incident occurred be-
tween two factions, which here-
after I shall refer to as faction
A and faction B.

Faction A returned to school
and began preparation for its
annual activity. Things seemed
to have been going very smooth-
ly. But a few days before regis-
tration, a demon by the name
of Confusion stuck his dirty
head into the picture and the
sparks began to fly.

Faction B, due to circum-
stances beyond its control, had
ceased its "catering" to faction
A. Well, faction A got hot-
headed and decided to follow the
example of the steel workers in
order to get its ends.

A period of contemplation. Ill-
feeling and misunderstanding
existed between factions A and
B for the next few days due to
the lack of communication.

After three days, faction B got
the word (by way of the grape
vine) on faction A, Faction B
immediately arranged a confer-
ence with faction A and other
parties involved. I was present
as an Impartial observer (if this
is possible).

My evaluation of the entire
situation Is as follows:

(1) First of all faction B had
"catered" to faction A, this
"catering" was taken for
granted.

(2) After faction B was forced
to cease "catering," it is only
fair that faction A should have
been notified,

(3) Faction B should have
been informed of the feelings of
faction A by one of its repre-
sentatives, before the latter re-
sorted to the methods of the
steel workers.

(41 Faction A was too re-
luctant in airing its views at the
conference. I am glad no little
girl came into the room and said
"boo" because faction A might
have died of fright.

This incident which I am sub-
mitting for your consideration,
Mr. John Q. Student, is a perfect
example of what happens when
people fail to assume their
responsibility to other persons
and when other persons refuse
to speak up and stand on their
own two feet. This further ex-
hibits what can happen if a
system of communication does
not exist between two factions.
A system where everyone in-
volved may speak freely and
bluntly without fear of later em-
barrassment or punishment- My
advice to factions A and B is
"to get on the ball" despite
Nature's Ways.

COINTINENTAL

Classic Italian Style for
Fall "59

By Alphonso McLean

This fall the Continental-
versus-Ivy controversy continues
on Fifth Avenue and on the Col-
lege Campuses around the coun-
try. The well dressed men of
this country will continue to
favor Ivy because of the casual
and day-to-day wear. In the
area of definition one might
wonder just what is Continental?
In its most classic manifesta-
tion. Continental is definitely
Italianate. It is characterized
by the concept that clothes
should fit the body just as gloves
fit the hand. Sport jackets are
short, and fitted to the point.
Sleeves are slender and tapered,
lapels are narrow, tapered almost
to snugness and detailed to show
the correctness of the attire.
Trousers, too. are extremly
narrow, tapered to detail: the
slacks are cuffless, pleatless.
with slash pockets rather than
side pockets. Jackets can be
three as well as two-button.

The word Continental, of
course, does not apply solely to
suits and sport jackets. The ac-
cessories with your Ivy outfits
will do in company with the
Continental styling. Shoes are
thinner, more flexible; shirts
have more form-fitting and
narrower sleeves. Ties should be
narrow and short enough so the
ends don't protrude from the
cutaway, sport jackets.

For casual and rough-weather
wear are the high and sturdy
boots. The boot takes a big step
forward this fall. The introduc-
tion of the Continental suit and
slacks, whose cuffless trousers
tend to snag in standard-high
shoe tops, shows that elegance
can now be included with casual
wear.

Now there are casual boot
creations for sport, city wear on
these rainy autumn days and
cold winter nights on campus.
So if in the past those unattrac-
tive overshoes have bugged you.
now's the time to look correct,
as well as one of the advanced
men of style on your campus set.
Continental designs are not
only tailored to perfection but
are also narrow on the pocket-
book. The Classic Continental
suit 'Which includes a reversible
vest), ranges from $45 to $70.
The Modified Continental ranges
from S39.95 to $60 and the
American Continental from $65
to $110.

Well this fall there is a radical
change in men's attire. Men of
Savannah State College, are you
up-to-date with this fall's
styles? The distinction of Con-
tinental captures and character-
izes a typical college man over
the average dressed man. As for
me, I've catered to Continental
and really dig it.

To those personalities who
thrive somewhat as daring in
dress to varying degrees, I chal-
lenge you to accept this new
concept in clothing and be a
classic on your campus this fall.

Quotable Quotes

An antique is an object that
has made a round trip to the
attic.

A woman who is smart enough
to ask a man's advice seldom is
dumb enough to take it.

So far science has not figured
out how a man can tell what a
woman is thinking by listening
to what she's saying.

A .sense of humor is what
you laugh at something which
would make you mad if it
happened to you.

Things are pretty well evened
up in this world. Other people's
trouble.^ are not so bad as yours,
but their children are a lot
worse.

Professor Studies Love;
Finds It Matter of ISeeds

Why do we fall in love? Pro-
fessor Robert F, Winch. North-
western University sociologist,
knows why 50 young husbands
and wives did and the results
of his eight-year study of them
are reported by Morton M. Hunt
in a November Reader's Digest
article. "How Do We Choose A
Mate?"

According to Professor Winch's
evidence, the love of man for
woman and woman for man is
basically self-serving ; its pri-
mary purpose is to benefit the
lover, not the beloved.

Each of us, he says, tends to
fall in love with someone whose
personality is the complement
of our own and through whom
we can therefore relieve our own
frustrations and vicariously live
out our impossible wishes. A
tough, brusque, hard-driving
man may long in secret to be
a cared-for child again.

He cannot do this, so he falls
in love with a timid, frail girl
whom he enjoys sheltering and
through whom, by proxy, he en-
joys that would-be other self.
She. meanwhile, has always
yearned to be more aggressive
and competent, and because she
identifies her life with his, she
indirectly achieves her wish. So
each benefits and fulfills the
other and so love, though
selfish in its origin, succeeds in
becoming a mutual blessing.

Profe.ssor Winch believes this
dovetailing of psychological
needs to be the essential reason
for love and a far stronger force
than sexual desire, beauty, or
;umilarity of tastes. These needs
change as boys and girls go to
work or to college.

The Northwestern professor is
48, married and has written a
book. "Mate Selection," pub-
lished by Harper & Brothers at
$5, explaining how he and his
staff studied the 25 couples, all
childless and all married less
than two years when the study
began, as to 388 pairs of traits.
His wife. Martha, executive

Faculty Members
Participate in Arts

Faculty members participating
in teaching the integrated sub-
jects of the basic curriculum at
Chatham College are continually
learning, since many of these
courses are cross-disciplinary in
nature.

In the two year course in the
Arts, which correlates work in
visual arts, drama, prose, fiction,
poetry, music, and the dance.
it is not unusual to see faculty
members who instruct in differ-
ent parts of the course, sitting
in on each other's area pre-
sentations. Thus a musician, be-
cause he has become intimately
familiar with the areas of the
course devoted to poetry and the
visual arts, is able to relate form
in music to these areas; the
faculty member in drama is able
to correlate his specialty with
those sections devoted to the
dance and fiction. Some of the
other cross-disciplinary courses
where similar faculty learning
takes place are Human Develop-
ment and Behavior (psychology
and biology); and The Natural
World (astronomy, biology,
chemistry, or physics, and the
history and philosophy of
science).

Delta Eta is also cognizant of
the fact that many of our stu-
dents are not registered and
therefore cannot exercise their
constitutional rights. In an
effort to alleviate this situation.
Delta Eta is now making plans
to wage a campaign to get each
eligible unregistered student to
register in his home county at
his first opportunity.

To succeed in this stupendous
undertaking will require the
sincere and wholehearted co-
operation of every member of
the Savannah State Family.
Delta Eta hereby solicits your
full cooperation.

Complete details of our plans

THE SPOTLIGHT

By Yvonne McGlockton

"Be the best of whatever you
are" is a phrase that is common-
ly used by many, Dorothy Law-
ton is a living example of this
phrase.

Dot (as she is called by all)
is a sophomore majoring in
Home Economics and special-
izing in textiles and clothing.
She is an expert seamstress;
several of her garments have
been placed on various exhi-
biitions. Last year during the
annual awards day, she received
an award of $100 for her pro-
ficiency in textiles and clothing.

From the Ontario. N. Y.,

Wayne County Mail: "West Wal-
worth Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment will blow the siren 15
minutes before the start of each
fire,"

Her hobbies and ambitions are
part of her major field. She likes
to sew. design hats and cook and
plans to become a designer and
a home economics instructor.

Neat and debonair, Dot is a
native of Savannah, Georgia,
and a graduate of Alfred E.
Beach High School.

She was elected "Miss Home
Economics" of 1959-60. The

Winston America's best-selling,

SSC and Morris Battle to 8-8 Tie

By Jolly Stephens

College presidents and football
coaches are primarily responsible
for the violations of athlete re-
cruiting rules which are giving
big time college football "a sour
reputation," says Don Faurot,
now University of Missouri di-
rector of athletics, after years of
coaching.

His views are given in the No-
vember Reader's Digest in a
signed article, "Is College Foot-
ball Destroying Itself?" con-
densed from the Saturday Eve-
ning Post.

"When a college corrupts an
athlete by paying him under the
table," says Faurot, "you can be

pretty sure that the coach not
only knows about it but prob-
ably instigated it. . . . As for
college presidents, some have
been coerced into putting up
with dishonesty, some have
winked at it, some have been
too naive to know what is
happening. , . ."

Faurot feels it imperative that
everyone concerned with college
football acknowledge the abuses
and take corrective action.

"First of all," he writes, "edu-
cators must enforce the rules
governing college athletics.
Simply refusing to schedule
teams which operate outside the

rules would quickly whip into
line those colleges which now
value winning football teams
above honesty. . . .

"School administrators must
make it clear to their coaches
that they place integrity ahead
of victory: that no amount of
alumni pressure after a losing
season will affect the coach's
job. whereas under-the-table aid
to athletes will get him fired.
I'm still idealist enough not to
see much difference between
paying a boy under the table to
win for you and having some
gambler pay him to lose."

The Savannah State College
Tigers and the Morris College
Hornets played a tremendous de-
fensive game, on a soaking wet
field, as they tied 8-8. This was
the first conference game for
both teams. Over a period of
five years these two teams have
won two each and tied one.

During the early minutes of
the first quarter, James Davis
of SSC blocked a kick on their
own 22 yard strip. But the SSC
offensive could not move the
ball any further than the 16
yard line; so Morris took over
on downs. The Hornets moved
the ball to their 40 yard line
before they were forced to kick.

But again their kick was
blocked, this time by Elizah Mc-
Graw. On the next play SSC's
John Owens carried the ball to
the Morris 22 yard line ; then
James Davis, in fullback po-
sition, passed the ball to end
McGraw in the end zone for a
SSC touchdown. The point after
touchdown was good when Davis
passed to Lawrence Williams in
the flat. The first quarter ended
with SSC 8, Morris 0.

In the second quarter SSC had
a substantial drive from their
28 yard line to the Morris 30
before Morris took over on
downs. But on the next play
Hossis of SSC intercepted a
Morris pass on the 35 yard line
and galloped to the 25.

Freshman''s Outlook

Several freshmen were inter-
viewed by reporters of the
Tiger's Roar staff in order to
obtain a random sample of views
and evaluations of Savannah
State College held by the newest
members of the Savannah State
College Family- The following
are the views of Savannah
State College as the Freshmen
see it.

Carrie Louise Guitor, Savan-
nahian, who plans to major in
Biology. "The instructors aren't
as rigid as was expected. This
fact relieved some of the tension
that had accumulated before
entering SSC. The majority of
the upperclassmen seem to be
very friendly nnd understand-
ing. They make one feel as if
he has always been a part of
the SSC family. College life is
not the 'headache' I expected.
I'm looking forward to a long
happy stay. "

Otis Mitchell. Savanahian, who
plans to major in Biology. "Sa-
vannah State College is a very
wonderful college, serving its
purpose. It couldn't be any
better: here you get a chance to
meet a lot of people. I have no
dislike for the school or its per-
sonnel. We have a well prepared
faculty and staff. College to me
is like a foreign country; you
are forever learning things."

Harvey Bryant, a native of
Woodbine. Georgia, and gradu-
ate of Ralph J. Bunche High
School, When asked to comment
on orientation week, Bryant
stated. "I think orientation week
gave the students a cliance to
gain helpful information and
meet fellow freshmen."

Marjorie Dalida commented
that "the College Campus is very
beautiful and interesting."

Clinton Robinson, a graduate
of Alfred E. Beach High School,
described the campus as very
picturesque.

Eunice Veal stated that the
orientation week activities were
helpful in acquainting her with
the new surroundings.

Leomia Pinkney, a business
major and graduate of Alfred
E. Beach High School, stated. "I
like the College very much and
feel that orientation week helps
in adjusting to college life."

Eddie Mae Polk hails from
Statesboro. Ga. "She thinks the
SSC campus is the most."

Alvin Jones, a graduate of St.
Pius High School, considers the
Savannah State College one of
the best in the state.

Dr. Paul L. Taylor Delivers Honor's
Day Address in Meldrini Auditorium

The annual Honor's Day chapel program was held on Thurs-
day, November 19, 1959, at 12 o'clock noon in Meldrim 'Auditorium
with Dr. Paul L. Taylor
Savannah State College,

Director of Testing and Guidance at

According to Dr. Taylor, the
value of anything depends upon
its use and not the thing itself.
For anything that is not used
is soon lost by its owner. Dr.
Taylor stated that all life is a
climb and we get out of life what
we deserve rather than what we
desire.

"Some of us fail in our climb
for success because of over con-
fidence," and therefore accord-
ing to Dr. Taylor, the greatest
of care should be employed when
an inventory is taken of one's
abilities.

Dr. Taylor set forth that if
today's student desires success,
then religion is a necessity. "Put
your hand in God's hand and he
will say surely I will be with
you." If you only believe "Ye
shall achieve " go get a hold of
yourself and say "I can."

Recognition was given to the
following persons for having
earned the average of "B" or

Village Players
Perform at SSC

The Village Players were seen
at Savannah State College in
Meldrim Auditorium on Tues-
day, November 24 in two one-act
comedies, t^he Proposal," based
on a play by Anton Chekhov and
"A Village Wooing" by George
Bernard Shaw. This event was
under the auspices of the Col-
lege Luceum Committee. Dr.
Coleridge A. Braithwaite. chair-
man of the Department of Fine
Arts, is the director of the col-
lege lyceum programs.

"A Village Wooing" might be
called a battle of the sexes, in
which the male is doomed to de-
feat. The play occurred in three
scenes, the first set on board
a pleasure ship and the remain-
ing two in an English Village
store. The players depicted an
account of a very unusual
"wooing." The period costumes
of 1910 added flavor and charm
to the production.

"The Proposal," like Shaw's
play, concerned itself with a
wooing, but one of a very differ-
ent nature. The setting was on
a farm in the Midwestern United
States, "The Proposal" gave an
account of "the course of true
love."

Pertinent Faets Coneerning the
National Stndent Loan Proojram

The purpose of this article is to acquaint the students of Sa-
vannah State College with pertinent facts concerning the National
Defense Education Act of 1958.

The National Defense Student Loan program was established
by the 85th Congress under Title II of Public Law 85-864, designated
as "The National Defense Education Act of 1958." approved Septem-
ber 2, 1958.

The program, nationwide in scope, provides loans to students
under easy terms with Special Scholarship provision for Student
borrowers who later enter public secondary and elementary teach-
ing and public school administrative careers.

An eligible college student may borrow up to $1,000 per year.
No student however, may receive more than $5,000 in loans from
funds established under this act. Interest at 3 per cent begins to
accrue and repayment begins on any outstanding balance of a loan
one year after the borrower ceases to be a full-time college student.

This act specifies that only students in satisfactory standing
may receive assistance under this act. In order for a student to
have '"satisfactory" standing, he must be eligible to continue in at-
tendance at the institution where he is enrolled based upon the
achievement of satisfactory progress towards a degree and the
maintenance of good conduct, in accordance with the institution's
standards and practices.

An institution of higher learning has the responsibility for
carefully assessing the degree of financial need of a borrower. In
general, information concerning the assets and income of the stu-
dent and his family and reasonable expenses of the student loan
officers of the institution.

A loyalty oath is required from all borrowers. Every candidate
for a national defense student loan must sign a loyalty oath and
affidavit which will be imprinted on a form to be supplied partici-
pating colleges by the Government.

It is hoped that the National Defense Student loan program
vrill make it possible for a great number of eligible college students
to enroll at the colleges of their choice.

Savannah State College is participant of the National Defense
Student Loan Program. Further details concerning this program
may be secured by contacting Mr. Nelson R. Freeman. Dean of
Personnel.

It was called to the attention of the Editor of the Tiger's Roar
by Mr. E. A. Bertrand that many of the students were not
sufficiently acquainted with this program.

It is hoped that this article will tend to correct such a situation.

My Kind of Democracy
(W hat I ff ant Most For

the ISeiv Year)
By Leford Tobias
I want a peaceful co-existence
among men, I want a gigantic
exhibition of brotherly love,
friendship and loyalty, I want
many sincere friends, who'll try
to understand my faults and
mistakes, and yet remain loyal
when I am proven in error. I
want an untiring sense of
responsibility and duty em-
beded in manly willpower and
proven deeds, I want justice
sewn with mercy. I want a sense
of humor and the genius to
laugh, the grace to forgive, the
humility to be forgiven, the
willingness to praise and the
modesty to be praised.

I want international rivals to
meet on the street and shake
hands and smile earnestly, I
want to see Mr. Khrushchev and
Mr. Eisenhower meet on Main
Street and pat each other on the
back cheerfully and one suggest
a spot of tea. They need not
argue over the matter of who'll
pay for the tea; I wUI pay for it,
I want to go to bed at night
and not fear the forthcoming
day, I want to say goodnight to
my family with a smile and
know that they are safe and
secure, I want to think of my
posterity and not harbor a sense
of grief and fear for the future,
I want to sleep and dream of
kneeling hills, the restless sea,
the dew falling on fresh roses
and hear the awakening of a
beautiful morning bringing with
it the high pitched voices of
slowly awakening birds.

Above all. I want men to be
aware of the presence of God
on this New Year's Day.

What do you want for the New
Year?

DOWN BEAT

Young people today, particu-
larly college-age crowds, want a
sound with which they can find
a personal identification.

This is the view of Maynard
Ferguson, the gifted young
trumpeter and bandleader who
is so hot with college dancers
these days.

Ferguson thinks it is a serious
error to try to recapture the
sounds of the "swing era."

Ferguson, who has an enor-
mous sense o fresponsibility to-
ward the young audiences for
which he plays particularly in-
sofar as he is looked on as repre-
sentative of jazz told Down
Beat:

"Kids today rebel against the
tunes and the styles of music
their parents liked. You have to
give them something they can
feel belongs to them

"If the disc jockies had pro-
moted Monk's recording of
Round About Midnight" as
something brand new. and let
the kids discover it for them-
selves, it could have set as big
a musical fashion as rock and
roll."

Ferguson, who is featured on
the cover of the October 1 Down
Beat, added, "I try to keep that
in mind when I'm playing for
young college crowds,"

Baritone saxophonist Gerry
Mulligan is the latest person
from the music world to try his
hand as an actor. Mulligan, who
may have got the bug some-
where in the course of his widely
publicized romance with actress
Judy HoUiday. plays, of all
things, a priest in the new film
about beatniks of the west coast,
"The Subterraneans." Also in the
picture is pianist Andre Previn
who will play, in somewhat less
offbeat casting, a jabb musician.

John Hendricks, the gifted
singer and lyricist who provides
most of the far-our lyrics for the
Lambert - Hendricks - Ross vocal
trio, of which lie is a member,
tackled one of his most am-
bitious projects to date when he
wrote rhyming introductions, to
be sung by the trio, for the acts
at the Monterey Jazz festival.

The Boston Jazz festival one
of three sponsored by the
Sheraton Corp, got off to a
good start with an attendance
of 22,000 during its three days of
life. Yet the first Boston festival
could be the last. Persistent re-
ports have it that the Sheraton
firm has had its fill of jazz
festivals (it also sponsored
festivals at French Lick. Ind..
and in Toronto. Canada). The
reason: they have not proved
their financial value to the big
hotel chain.

A writer once said. "Hats off
to the man who is a little better
than his word, a little more
liberal than his promise, and a
little larger in deed than he is
in speech,"

Surely the writer who said this
must have had in mind a person
like Tommie Lee Mitchell. Quiet
and soft-spoken, Tommie is in
all respects a man of his word.
All persons working with him on
the annual staff or in other
organizations can certainly at-
test to this,

Tommie hails from Kingsland,
Georgia, A Korean War Veteran, .
he is now a senior majoring in
Health. Physical Education and
Recreation.

His extra curricular activities
include The Tiger Yearbook

Record Fans Can Choose
Hi-Fi Symphony or Splash

Little more than ten years
after the introduction of the
long-playing record, high-fidelity
enthusiasts can choose today
from a variety of records rang-
ing from Prokofieff to Presley,
from full-length operas to the
throb of a single heartbeat.

An article in the December
Reader's Digest reports we're
plunking down 425 miUion
dollars a year for the privilege.

Chief beneficiaries of the
spurting business have been
"longhair" music fans, notes
author Don Murray, Ten years
ago, a long-playing record cata-
logue published by WilUam
Schwann listed 11 companies
offering 407 classical works by
96 composers.

But lovers of classical music
aren't the only beneficiaries.
Many of the 26,000 phonograph-
equipped American homes echo
to the sound of rock-'n-roU
records, put out by more than
1,500 small but hopeful record
companies.

Even weirder sounds prevail in
some homes. Among a small but
dedicated group of hi-fi aficion-
ados, hours may be spent listen-
ing to the recorded progress of
a violent thunderstorm, an on-
rushing locomotive, even the
dripping of water into a rain
barrel.

The spoken word has also
proved immensely popular on
records. In 1952, two 22-year-old
girls gambled $1,500 on record-
ing poetry, Today their Caedmon
Records have sold three million
dollars worth of the spoken word.
Included are readings by such
distinguished poets as Dylan
Thomas, Robert Frost and T. S.
Eliot of their own works. Other
companies have issued com-
plete plays. There are even
records which allow the listener
to "co-star" with famed actors,
by reading dialogue during
pauses on the record.

Sound." It is condensed from

THE TrCER'S ROAR

Savannah State Rallies to Tie
Alabama State College, 14-14

Playing on a rain-soaked field
in a steady drizzle, the Savan-
nah State Tigers roared from
behind in a tremendous fourth
period uprising to tie the favored
Alabama State College Hornets
of Montgomery, Alabama, 14-14.

After trailing the Hornets 8-0
for the first three quarters, the
Tigers, behind the fine offensive
play of Quarterback Richard
Anderson, End Elijah McGraw.
and Fullback James Davis, the
Tigers came from behind to score
two TD's and a conversion to
deadlock the score, Savannah
State's record now stands at
2-2-2. The Hornets also have a
2-2-2 slate.

First Period

At the beginning of the first
quarter, the Tigers gained
possession of the ball on the 25-
yard line as the result of a
fumble. On the very first play
the Tigers fumbled and the
Hornets recovered on the Tigers'
22. Unable to move the ball, the
Hornets were forced to punt.
SSC took the ball in the end
zone and ran it gack to the 20
but was unable to budge from
that spot. Forced to punt on
fourth down, SSC's Fullback.
James Davis, was not able to get
the ball off as the result of a
bad snap from center and was
tackled in the end zone for a
safety. The Hornets went ahead
2-0.

Second Period

The second period proved to
be a defensive battle between
the two teams as the Tigers held
the Hornets to one first down.
while the Hornets did not permit
the hapless Tigers to run up a
single down. The only serious
scoring threat of the period
came when the Tigers fumbled
on thier own 8-yard stripe and
Alabama recovered on the 5.
The Tigers defense, led by
Lawrence Williams and James
Bowens held. On the fourth
down Williams Mcintosh. Tiger
Tackle, broke through and re-
covered a Hornet fumble on the
Tiger 18, as the Hornets at-
tempted to pass.

Third Period

As the start of the third quar-
ter, the Tigers' offense came to
life as they picked up their first
first down of the game. Both
teams continued to play a strong
defensive game during this
period. Little Richard Anderson.
SSC Freshman Quarterback,
thrilled the rain-soaked crowd
of less than 1,000 fans as he
broke through the Hornet's line
twice for a total of 36 yards to
niove the pigskin to the Hornet's
25. The third period ended with
the score remaining 8-0 in favor
of the Hornets. McGraw and
Davis took the defensive honors
for the Tigers in this period.
Fourth Period

During the fourth and final
period, the Tiger offense which
started to roll during the third
period, really came to life. In
the first few minutes of the
quarter, QB Anderson ran the
ball from the Tigers' 35 to the
Tornets' 35 on one of the most
spectacular runs of the evening.
John Strong, HB and John
Owens, FB. in four plays moved
the ball to the Hornets' 8 where
Davis, who switched from End
to Fullback for the play, passed
to McGraw in the end zone for
SSC's first TD of the evening.
The try for conversion failed
and SSC now trailed 8-6.

The Hornets' David Veasy
sensing a possible upset, took
the Tiger gick-off and galloped
85 yards for the second Hornet
score of the evening to quickly
go out in front 14-6. The at-
tempted conversion was missed.

With four minutes left in the
ballgame. Alabama had posses-
sion on SSC's 29 where they
fumbled. Lawrence Williams of
SSC recovered for the Tigers.

Lawrence Cult" Williams
t-atches a pass (iurin the Home-
coming contest between Savan-
nah State College "Tigers' and
the Albany State College
"Rams." After the completion
of the pass, Williams scored for
the Tigers. Savannah State Col-
lege won the contest 10 to 8.

SSC Loses to
Benedict, 24-6

The Savannah State College
Tigers suffered their second de-
feat of the 1959 gridiron season
at the hands of the power-laden
Beendict College Tigers of Co-
lumbia, South Carolina, 24-6.

Playing on the rain-soaked Sa-
vannah State College Athletic
Field before a capacity crowd of
1,200 cheering fans, the Orange
and Blue Tigers were no match
for the South Caroiianians' pass-
ing and running attacks spear-
headed by Quarterback Johnny
Green and Halfback Billy Car-
son, respectively.

During the first quarter, Bene-
dict and SSC put on quite a de-
fensive performance. Neither
team was able to score. Three
times during this period, Bene-
dict rolled down to the SSC's
20-yard stripe, but the fine de-
fensive play of SSC's end, Law-
rence Williams and SSC's Guard
Jesse Carter stopped the pay-
dirt march of the Purple and
Gold Tigers from the Palmetto
State. Benedict was never in
any serious trouble, as the Tigers
from Savannah were not able to
get beyond their own 45-yard
line.

The second period was a car-
bon copy of the first until the
last 4 minutes when the bottom
seemed to fall out of the SSC's
defense. The fireworks started
when Benedict's halfback. Car-
son, intercepted an SSC pass on
the Benedict 28-yard stripe. On
the very next play Benedict's
quarterback, Green, passed to
his right end, James Pratt, for
the first TD of the afternoon.

In two plays the Tigers moved
the ball through the Hornet line
to their own 35. On the third
down FB Davis passed to Mc-
Graw at the midfield stripe, Mc-
Graw ran it all the way for the
most thrilling run of the entire
afternoon. The first try for con-
version was nullified when pass
interference was called on the
Hornets. On the second attempt.
Davis plunged through the
center of the Hornets line for
the conversion. The scoreboard
read 14-14, with three minutes
left, neither team was able to
.score again, and the game
ended in a deadlock.

Outstanding offensively for
SSC were James Davis and Elijah
McGraw- David Veazey captured
offensive honors for the Ala-
bamaians. Leading SSC's defen-
sive attack were James Bowen,
Henry Wesley, Louis Brown, and
Eddie Bell. For the Hornets,
Robert Turk and Charles Wil-
liams were outstanding.

The try for conversion failed and
Benedict led 6-0. After Benedict
kicked to SSC, the hapless
Orange and Blue Tigers lost the
ball on downs as they were un-
able to dent the Benedict for-
ward wall, SSC's fullback. James
Davis, punted on the fourth
down; Halfback Green of Bene-
dict took the punt on the SSC
45-yard and galloped all the way
to pay dirt. The attempted con-
version after the TD was blocked
by SSC's halfback, B, C. Cars-
well. Benedict led 12-0.

At the beginning of the third
quarter, SSC put on a sustained
drive from their 30 to Benediri
11. With SSC on Benedict's 'M\
SSC's QB, Richard Anderson
passed on SSC's end. Elijah Mr-
Graw, for 20 yards. Three play.^
later FB James Davis passed to
McGraw, but the pass was in-
complete. In two plays James
Whatley. HB. and QB Anderson
moved the ball to the Benedict
11. On the very next play What-
ley fumbled on the ten-yard
stripe and Benedict recovered.
With Benedict in possession, on
their first play, HB Billy John-
son galloped around SSC's right
end to the SSC 44. a 46- yard run.
QB Green then carried to the
SSC 28. and next play Johnson
ran it over for a TD. However,
the TD was nullified because of
a penalty. On the next play
Johnson ran it to the SSC 5: the
gun sounded for the end of the
quarter and the third scoring
threat of the Palmetto State
Tigers ground to a halt, with
Benedict leading 12-0.

In the fourth and final quar-
ter, in two plays from the 5,
Benedict's Johnson carried to
the one; and FB Myckle Jeffery
plunged through the middle for
the tally. Again the try for con-
version failed and Benedict went
ahead 18-0.

With five minutes left in the
game. SSC recovered a Benedict
fumble on the 43-yard stripe of
Benedict. On the next play
Benedict intercepted an SSC
pass on the Benedict 20. They
failed to advance the ball from
the 20 and were forced to punt.

SSC Loses to
Clallin, 38-16

The Savannah State College
Tigers went down to a smashing
38-16 defeat at the hands of the
Claflin College Panthers of
Orangeburg. South Carolina, in
their last home game of the
1959 gridiron season.

Playing on a rain-soaked field
in a steady drizzle for the fourth
time this season, the Tigers came
from behind and went out front
16-14. only to be swamped by
the onrushing Panthers in the
fourth period, who piled up a
total of 24 points in the final
ten minutes of the closing
period. The Tigers overall record
now stands at 2-4-2. Their con-
ference record is 1-1-1. Claflin
has an overall record of 5-3 and
a conference of 2-1,

The Panthers from the Pal-
metto State juickly chalked up
two successive TD's in the first
period before SSC Tigers could
.solve their razzle-dazzle offense.
SSC, who has been a slow-start-
ing team all season long came
to life in the second and third
periods after solving the fast-
moving offense of the Panthers.
The Tigers scored their total of
16 points as the result of a safety
in the second quarter and two
TD's and conversion in the third
period. It seemed for a time that
tlie Tigers would make it a close
one, but the rip-roaring Panth-
ers came surging back in the
final ten minutes of the fourth
period, scoring almost at will, as
SSC's defense was ripped to
.shred.s.

First Period

In the early minutes of the
first quarter, SSC found it diffi-
cult to stop the passing of
Claflin's rifle-armed quarter-
back, Norwell Chambers. Cham-
ber's passing was responsible for
two Panther TD's in the open-
ing minutes of the first frame.
On a sustained drive covering
65 yards. Chambers hit his left
end, Louis Anderson, for the
first TD of the evening In a
play that covered 9 yards. The

Pictured above is Elijah Mc-
Graw, Co-Captain of the Tigers'
Squad this past season. McGraw
was the Tigers leading scorer
with a total of eight touchdowns.
PAT was no good. Following the
kickoff after the first TD, SSC
lost the ball on downs. State's
James Davis, attempting to kick
on the fourth down, had his
punt blocked on SSC's 26, by his
namesake on Claflin's team,
James Davis, who was In the
tackle position for the Panthers.
Five ph.ys later Chambers hit
HB Earl Spain in the end zone
for the second Panther TD of
the evening. George Sargent,
Panther fullback, ran the pig-
skin over for the PAT. The first
quarter ended with Claflin ahead
14-0,

Second Period

The second period was pri-
marily a defensive struggle be-
tween the two teams. SSC, how-
ever, scored a safety when James
Davis. Tiger fullback, blocked a
fourth down punt attempt by
Claflin QB Norwell Chambers in
the end zone. The quarter ended
with the score 14-2.
Third Period

In the opening minutes of the
third period, SSC began to show
a little offensive ability as they
put on a sustained 50-yard drive
for their first tally of the eve-
ning. Sparked by HB Henry
Wesely, QB Richard Anderson
and FB James Davis, the Tigers
marched from mid-field to the
Panthers 12. From this point
Davis ran it over the middle for
the TD. The try for conversion
failed.

SSC's second TD came when
Henry Wesely intercepted a
Panther pass on the SSC 30 and
ran it back to the Panther 30.
On the fourth down Davis passed
to QB Richard Anderson for the
second Tiger TD of the game.
Anderson rolled out around left
end for the end and State went
ahead 16-14 as the third period
ended.

Fourth Period

In the final quarter. Claflin
made it a rout, scoring a total
of 24 points, more than their
total for the previous three
quarters. The Panther's first TD
came on a 65-yard pass play
from Chambers to Sargent. The
try for conversion failed and
Claflin went ahead 20-16,

Following the kickoff after
touchdown Claflin scored a

their games in rain this season,
and finished second in the SEAC
conference with a 2-1-1 record.
The Tiger's overall record was
3-4-2. The Tiger's were playing
with the absence of ten men
from last year's squad, which
precipitated the need for a back-
field, and most of all our quar-
terbacks,

At the opening of the season,
Coach Richard Washington took
an inventory of the prospective
players and selected freshman
halfback Richard Anderson to
play quarterback. After the
selection of a quarterback, he
formulated with a backfield
combination composed of John
Strong and Henry Wesely. In
halfback positions, James Davis
and John Owens. Substitutes in
the backfield positions were :
Tom Farlow. Harold Lewis,
Thurston Powell. Joe Sweet,
John Sweet and B- C, Carswell.

The Tiger's line was fairly
strong as it was composed of all
veterans from last season. In the
ends were Elijah McGraw, James
Davis and Lawrence Williams.
At tackles, Eddie Bell, Louis
Brown and Joe Mincey. The
guards were Jesse Carter, James
Bowens, Ellis Zander and John
Gordon. The center was Hosie
Harris. Helping these linemen
State 1 and Mullins bolted over
for the TD, The attempt for the
extra point was no good

The Panthers struck again
were James Colbert, Sam
Thompson. Morris Carter, Paul
Buchanan. James Curthous. Sam
Holland, Paul Jackson. William
Mcintosh and Vernon Sams.

As Tiger's Roar sports Pditui, I
have selected my choice of the
most outstanding football play-
ers on the Savannah State Col-
lege football squad for the sea-
son of 1959. The selections are
as follows: James Davis, best
all-round player. He played end.

"The Authentic Look""

By Alphonso McLean
It's true. Ivy League Style be-
gan on the college campus. This
is a unique styling designed for
young men who prefer exclusive,
"dapper" versions of men's cloth-
ing. Today Ivy League is the
hallmark of good grooming for
men of all ages everywhere. Ivy
has increased its ranks to men
of all professions over the nation.

The Blazer raincoat is a new
profile of outercoat. traceable to
the popular blazer sports jackets.
Cut to hit just above the knee
i40 inches in length), this model
gets added jauntiness from 11
inch side vents and double-
breasted front with traditional
brass blazer buttons. Price begins
around $44.50.

Slacks tailored in the basic
Ivy cut without pleats, are
smartly maneuvered for style
plus ease of care. Lately the new
Acri-Weave (automatic wash and
wear ) flannel has become a
popular hit among college men.
This type slack can be found in
regulars, shorts and longs. Priced
moderately at $12.95.

One of the season's top-flight
sweater targets is the shawl or
roll collar made of bulky wool.
Indeed this is of Continental in-
fluence, made of 100' , virgin
wool in 6 colors. Prices range
from $12.95 to $18.95.

This winter, the authentic look
features a fine selection of
shoes. To promote the correct-
ness of Ivy and Continental
styling the American Leather
Company has created a new,
neat look in shoes with solid
comfort called Flexairs. Flexairs
are trimmed down on the out-
side, cushioned on the inside and
flexible all over. If its a light-
footed feeling you enjoy in a
pair of shoes, Flexairs are for
you. Most styles range from
$14.95 to $24.95.

Well there's no doubt about it.
today's college student takes a
dressed-up approach to college
life. A poet once said, "The body
is the shell of the soul and dress
the husk of that shell of the
soul; but the husk often tells
what the kernal is." So true a
statement, so true. There are
certain factors that determine
one's personality, dress is one of
these factors.

FASHIONS

AMONG WOMEN

By Geraldine Lindsey

Fall Shoes: Variety Galore

Is the Theme

The quiet little black pumps
that go well with any outfit
will always be with us. But this
year's shoe news is the variety
keyed to specific occasions.

This year's fall collection in-
cludes a wide range of colors
and combinations as well as
styles, The biggest news is the
return (for dressy wear) of the
open toe sandals with "T,"
double or sling straps and the
D'Orsay with dipped sideline.

Boots made on real shoe last
and in many heights, from only
a bit higher than a pump to
well above the ankle, made lots
of sense. Flat-heeled models
should charm the kindergarten
to college set. High-heeled, tall
boots look chic as well as prac-
tical for travel.

Stacked heels, often thinner
than the usual Cuban heel.
range from flats for sportswear
to over two-and-a-half inches
high for the almost dressy town
costume in the season's casual
mood.

Pointed shapes, sharp or modi-
fied, continue in importance. But
the slim flat oval toe looks newer
and is gaining popularity.

This year various colors are
coordinated with handbags and
other accessories. Most popular
are the browns, pale, spicy.
chestnut and dark with spice.
Grays start pale, almost bluish,
and go to almost black. Greens,
just as varied, reds and black
are starred.

"Coat-Dress Excells In Chic
Disguise"

The coat dress is fashion's
magician ; it is a master of
disguise. This is one style form
that can look like several other
styles. Not one of the new
silhouettes is beyond it and not
a single trend is outside its
scope.

The coat dress is equally suc-
cessful as a redingote or as a
sheath. It takes beautifully to
shirtwaist shape and uses the
dress and bolers look for a bit
of fakery.

It warps to the side, or
straight through the middle,
runs its buttons in a prim line
or puts them on the diagonal
and emphasizes the waist with a
belt. The sleeves with new cut to
the collar by either ignoring it
or exaggerating it.

Savannah Slate Ixepreseiils District
IiiNAIA Toiu-nainent in Kansas

-^The Savannah State College Tigers have just won the District
6 NAIA playoff in Atlanta, Ga. Traveled to Kansas City, Missouri
^ on March 7 to play in the National Tournament, the Tigers have
proven they are the best by their performance in the tournament,
and during the year. Their most wanted victory was over the SIAC
Tournament Chapmion Florida A&M in the first round 90-89, Their
championship win came over the night Morris Brown, the SIAC
conference champions, 76-70, Morris Brown beat Tuskegee in the
first round 86-41, Florida A&M beat Tuskegee in the consolation
105-66,

Going into the tournament

Savannah's record was 24-3,
Florida 20-4, Morris Brown 21-5
and Tuskegee 14-8. Savannah
and Tuskegee went into the
tournament as the underdogs
and most people on newspapers,
expected Florida A&M and
Morris Brown to be in the finals
with Florida coming out on top.
But the fighting SSC Tigers
stopped this by eliminating them
in the first round. The Tigers
went after Florida with blood in
their eyes, because they wanted
to best Florida, since there was
no regular season game between
the two, and the Atlanta news-
paper, radio an dtelevision said
"it couldn't be done," They also
stated that SSC was unforthy
for the tournament, they also
said "that SSC was out of their
class. Florida A&M team out-
weighed and had more height
than SSC, on the first team they
had two 6-8, 6-7, 6-5, and a 6
footer. Where in SSC's first team
average 5-11. But the little Lilli-
putan cut the treetoppers down
to thier sizes, and played in one

Technical Building to
Open During the
Spring Quarter

Dr. William K. Payne an-
nounces that he is hoping that
sometime during the spring
quarter the technical and sci-
ence building will be utilized.

In discussing the new techni-
cal program appi'oved for S.S.C.
with William B, Nelson, head of
the division of technical sciences.
Savannah State College, is now
providing training opportunities
for Negroes which are not avail-
able anywhere else in the state
of Georgia. This is the only col-
lege offering a degree in techni-
cal sciences.

Mass production, atomic
energy, industrial chemistry,
electronics, and other sciences
are teaming up to give America
more goods, a higher standard
of living, and providing more
technical jobs for individuals to
take care of this rapid advance-
ment in our present industrial
world.

The data reveal that there are
not enough technically trained
people on hand who like mathe-
matics and applied scinces. Sa-
vannah State College offers a
program to train competent
workers to meet this demand.

Students entering the tech-
nical program must meet college
entrance requirements. It is fur-
ther suggested that students,
during their high school train-
ing, secure as much science,
mathematics, technical and in-
dustrial arts as possible while
in attendance.

There is urgent need for peo-
ple with special skills and train-
ing and are able to help trans-
late scientific ideas and dis-
coveries into useful products and
services.

The technician is a special
kind of person, and in certain
fields he assists in planning and
developmental work, estimating
research work, and is often
called upon to perform jobs
ranging fiom simple testing
projects to tasks requiring a high
degree of creative and technical

talents.

of the biggest upsets of the year,
Redell Walton of SSC, the
leading scorer of the SEAC, out
scored James Stanley of Florida,
the leading SlEC scorer, by two
points, 29-27, Ira Jackson of SSC
was the high scorer of the game
with 31. With Morris Brown
winning over Tuskegee 86-41,
that meant that SSC was to play
Morris Brown College in the
final, Morris Brown being the
tallest team in the district with
a team average of 6-7, made it
look like it was a game between
the Giants and the Midgets. But
the Tigers didn't seem to worry
about thier height as they were
ahead 51-41 at the first half.
This half was sparked by James
Dixon, SSC 5-5 guard, as he hit
the first four points of the game.
Jackson of SSC shot 20 points
in this half. But duiing the sec-
ond half Morris Brown cut SSC's
lead down to three points with
big 6-9 James Scott paving the

THE TIGER'S ROAR

March. 1960

Presidenfs Message

At the beginning of each academic quarter, three lists of
students are sent to my office. A fourth list is Implied, the com-
putation of which must be determined on the basis of the other
three lists. Usually the first two lists arrive containing the names
of students who have been dropped for poor scholarship, and the
names of those who have been placed on academic probation. A
day or two later the list of students who have made the honor roll
and the Dean's List reach my office. A study of these lists and
the total enrollment enable me to determine the fourth list which
contains the names of the students who are mailing average progress
in their studies,

A study of the list of students who are dropped for poor scholar-
ship over a four-year period indicates that a college of considerable
size might have been established for failing students. Of course,
one would not wish to establish a college for students who found
It impossible to do college work. On the other hand, consideration
is given to the enormous waste of the time of the students, the
financial outlay by parents, students, and the state, and the subse-
quent effect on the personalities of the students. No one of the
parties connected with the educational process is happy over the
number of failures and near-failures in our college. While the col-
lege, parents, and stat strive to provide conditions and circum-
stances that make it possible for students to be successful, the major
responsibility lies on the student. No one, nor a combination of all
three of the other auents mentioned, has as much to do with the
success of the student in college as the student himself. It is the
student who educates himself while he is attending college. His
position on the four lists which are developed three times a year
at the college is primarily that of his own making.

In several instances, the college has indicated its concern by
providing entrance requirements, orientation programs, and ad-
visors. It is desirable that students who are unable to do college
work enter .some other area which would be more suited to their
aptitudes, interests, and desires. Someone has estimated that more
than half of the students dropped for poor scholarship or placed on
probation could, through their own efforts, have done satisfactory
work.

The conditions which face the colleges today will emphasize
this feature far more than in the past three decades. Standards
and quality of college work will be raised each year. Average per-
formance in our colleges today will move up to a new level. This is
equally true of those who make the honor roll and the Dean's List.
Students have been willing to accept in non-classroom activities
the reality of living and learning. Those who are too light for foot-
ball, too short for basketball, too slow for track, unable to carry a
time for the chorus, unable to participate in debating, and many
other collegiate activities do not waste time attending the practices.
In classroom matters, however, too many have been content to be
around or in the procession.

If students have not discovered before they arrive at college
their inability to do college work, they should determine that factor
during the first quarter and voluntarily withdraw. Those who plan
to remain in college and to complete the program which they
have undertaken, should plan to do it in an acceptable manner.
The sooner students come to this personal understanding, the
happier will be their lot and that of the cooperating agencies.

DR. WILLIAM K. PAYNE

Open Letter to the

Savannah State College Family

Dear Family;

I feel that the matter of getting out a student publication on
time should be called to your attention.

If your memory is serving you correctly, you will recall that only
two previous issues of the Tiger's Roar have been published thus
far this school year. What? You say why not? A very good ques-
tion indeed!

The Tiger's Roar is published, "supposedly," by the student
body of Savannah State College; however, only a very few, in fact
very, very fev/ .students have been cooperating with the staff in
meeting its deadlines.

Thi-s publication Is the official organ of the S.S.C. student body,
the expression of students' opinions, and should reflect the caliber
of students attending this institution.

Slrirlly ]a:^z

By Robert Bess

As we look back over the past
decade, a decade of controversy
and survival of the fittest, we
find that in the music world a
struggle for survival has also
existed. The two elements of
music affected by this struggle
were Rock and Roll and Pro-
gressive Jazz. This struggle en-
tailed more than could be easily
seen by the average bystander:
it was an effort on the part of
the teen-ager to create some-
thing in the line of music that
he could feel was his own, pro-
moted by commercial exploita-
tion. On the other hand, pro-
gressive jazz was and still re-
mains an inspired music indica-
tive of a more mature American
culture.

In the first few years of the
decade, rock and roll gained
momentum, and young knee-
shaking long haired stars were
born overnight, and recording
companies did a thriving busi-
ness and thought they liad a
pipeline to Fort Knox as a
courtesy of the teen-age record
buyer. Even at that early stage,
it should have been obvious that
anything as musically im-
poverished as rock and roll could
not last without artificial
stimulus. Once the truth was
reahzed, the pendulum began to
swing in the other direction.

This truth was first introduced
by Mitch Milter in his speech to
a disc jockey convention in
Kansas City in 1958. Mitch
pointed out that to program
music exclusively for the teen-
age market was commercial
suicide. After all, aside from
chewing gum and similar odd-
ments, what products would the
teen-agers buy even if they
listened to the commercials?
Today, we find an impressive
number of network affiliates and
independents outlawing rock and
roll, or limiting it severely.

With the rock and roll scene
now on the downgrade, everyone
is rushing over to the music with
feeling, a music that "says some-
thing" in a language not audible
to the huma near, but a com-
munication that penetrates the
soul. The trend is -STRICTLY
JAZZ."

For all of you old jazz lovers.
new progressive appreciates, and
rock and rollers who are gradu-
ally learning to appreciate
smoother and more provocative
listening, stop by some of the
"spots" around town and "lend
an ear" to some of your home
towners in the making. Appear-
ing at one of the most popular
night spots in the city, a group
under the leadership of the
talented Claude Roberts is keep-
ing it "swinging." Claude is a
drummer from the "old school."
The other members of the group
are: Teddy Allen, a young man
with a smooth trombone and
does a unique job with arrange-
ments; Bobby Greene, alto sax
man with that "Parker tone":
John Scott, bass, and Johnnie
McMillian on piano.

Also, as a tip from Bob, watch
for the appearance of a new
group of "old pros" using the
name the "RCP Three." The
group consists of the exceptional
Ted Pollens on piano, Robert
Vaughn on drums; and the
sensational Laurney Roberts on
bass doing his usual gratifying
feats with the vocal chords. A
fine combination of talents
which spells "STRICTLY JAZZ."

My Kind of Democracy

By Leford Tobias. Jr.

A decade has ended and his-
tory now turns the page on the
1960's. It is a long page, packed
with spectacular, terrifying and
heartening developments. It
records new concepts swiftly
brought to reality, great changes.
new concepts of the future, and
great contrasts to the past. It is
characterized by two words,
shadow and light.

THE SHADOW. A hydrogen
bomb incinerated an island in
1953. A Russian rocket capable
of carrying such a bomb actually
hit the moon in 1959. Rocket-
armed submarines prowled un-
believable distances without sur-
facing.

THE LIGHT. Medical science
swept forward in giant strides
with the Salk vaccine, new drugs
for mental illness, isotopes and
other weapons in the battle
against cancer. Nations, although
political enemies in some
instancs, pooled efforts in the
greatest study of the physical
earth ever conducted. The cen-
turies old dream of a united
Europe came close to reality.
Europeans formed the Iron and
Steel Community in 1952,
Euratom in 1953, and the com-
mon market patterns of 1959.
Apparently reversing the policies
of his predecessors, N i k i t a
Khrushchev said in 1959, "Let
us disarm and compete in peace-
ful co-existence."

Six months after the dawn of
the decade, the cold war turned
hot. Before dawn on June 25,
1950. six North Korean infantry
divisions, armed and trained by
the Russians, attacked South
Korea. They poured across the
never to be forgoten 38th
Parallel.

Immediately, President Tru-
man ordered American land, sea
and air forces into action,
Americans were now dying again
on foreign batelfields for rea-
sons not clearly understood at
the time.

By Thanksgiving, the war was
"won." The North Koreans were
shattered. American soldiers,
standing on the banks of the
Yalu River, looked at Red China
on the opposite bank.

So the fifties began as the
Age of Anxieties.

The great climax came in a
pleasant city in Arkansas. Little
Rock today is more than a nem;
it is a milestone.

The most violent chapter in
the story began September 4.
1957, when Gov. Orval Faubas
ordered units of the Arkansas
National Guard to surround
Central High School in Little
Rock to prevent Negro students
from entering.

After court orders, the Faubas-
Eisenhower conference, and mob
riots, federal troops entered
Little Rock, September 24.

A cult of beared "beatniks"
arose, wearing dark apparel and
sun glasses, writing odd ball

seen action this season.

The Tigers opened their 1959-
60 season at home by rolling
over Allen University 101-93.
This game was seemingly a test
for evaluating the Tigers' of-
fense. On December 9. the Ti-
gers invaded Florida and played
three games: Edward Waters,
Bethune Cookman and Florida
Normal, The Edward Waters
game was more of a defensive
experiment to evaluate the Ti-
gers' defense. They beat Edward
Waters 88-50. Leaving Jackson-
ville, the team traveled to Day-
tona to play Bethune Cookman,
and won in five minutes over-
time 99-89, The Tigers scored 16
points during the overtime per-
iod. Then the Tigers journeyed
to St. Augustine to play their
first Conference game against
Florida Normal to win by a score
of 63-54. This was a game played
in one of the smallest gymna-
siums among the Conference ac-
commodations.

Being successful on the road,
the Tigers came home to play
two games with Clark College of
Atlanta, Georgia. The Tigers
won both games 62-59 and 72-62.
Three days later, Bethune Cook-
man came to visit the Tigers
seeking vengeance, but the Ti-
gers nipped them 87-85. With
seven straight wins under their
belts, the Tigers met the "tough"
Virginia State Spartans and sent
them home with a defeat of
102-75, The Tigers enjoyed the
holidays with an 8-0 record.

After the three-week vacation
the Tigers played Benedict Col-
lege and met their first defeat
98-95. Resenting this defeat, the
Tigers poured it on Paine Col-
lege of Augusta. Ga., for a 109-65
victory. Then the team left for
Orangeburg, S. C, and played
Cliflin College in tlieir third con-
ference game and won by a score
of 71-64. The next day, the team
traveled to Sumpter to play Mor-
ris College in anotlier conference
game in which the Tigers won
84-57,

Returning home, the Tigers
found Fort Valley waiting for
them. Well, the Tigers "shot
them out of the gym" as Coach
Ted Wright played seventeen
men to beat the sister State
School 96-76.

The Raekers and
Gators Lead

Intramural basketball got on
it.5 way, starting in January with
eight teams participating. They
are: Colts, Omegas. Gators. Apes,
Hornets, Tramps, Kappas and
the Raekers.

With the Masoning and the
Gorillas out of the intramural
this season the competition
should be tough among these
eight teams. The Masoning went
undefeated in conference play
last year an dthe Gorillas lost
one. But the Raekers and the
Gators are the teams to watch
for this season, since both teams
have two wins with no losses.
The Gators have wins over the
Apes 65-17 and the Colts 41-34.
The Raekers have wins over the
Apes 52-20 and the Kappas 43-26.
Intramural fans are saying that
the Gators can win if the Raek-
ers don't make them hit their
own tail, so all of this remains
to be seen.

The only team that gave the
Tigers trouble this year were
those two Carolina teams, Bene-
dict and Allen, Benedict being
our jinx team, beat us twice this
season, and Allen won one and
lost one. But other than these
two teams, the Tigers haven't
had any trouble.

Oh, the Tigers roster this sea-
son was 20 men, they were: the
"Sophomore Five." James DLxon.
Stephen Kelly, Willie Tate, Ira
Jackson and Redell Walton, On
the "defensive five." Raymond
Harper. Alfonso McLean, Elijah
McGraw. James Davis and Rob-
ert Robbins, Other members of
the team are Lawrence Williams.
Marion Dingle. Willie Epps. Joe
Sweet. William Day. Arthur Pay-
ton, Sam Thompson, Leon
Wright, Sam Thompson, Roland
Nash and Frank Martin, AU of
these Tigers have played a great
part in SSC's splendid record.

Redell Walton and Ira Jackson
made All-SEAC for thlcr second
year. Walton has the highest
scoring average in the confer-
ence with a 25.5 for 12 games.
Jackson was chosen the most
valuable player in the tourna-
ment. Jackson and Walton
scored 113 points out of SSC's 174
in the tournament. Walton scor-

ing 57 and Jackson 56. These two
fellows have been the big guns
when it came to scoring all
season. Willie Tate also helped
in the scoring column this season
as he has an average of 17 points
per kame. James Dixon, better
known as the "Little General"
by his teammates, is the acting
captain for the Tigers. He is only
5-5 tall, but he is responsible for
the playmaking and the pace
in which the team plays. Stephen
Kelly a 5-10 guard has been the
spark of the team with his
smooth bail handling, dribbling
and getting those points when
needed. Kelly lead the team in
assists, Robert Robbin. the only
senior on the team, is one of the
best rebounders on the team as
he has an average of 17 per
game. These six players have
been the workhorses on the
team, and the Tiger's Roar
salutes them and their team-
mates for the performance they
have contributed to SSC this
season. The Tigers having a 22-2
record before the tournament,
was chosen to appear in the
District 6 tournament of the
NAIA in Atlanta. Ga,, on Febru-
ary 26-27. The winner of this

Tigers Lose
To Benedict

By Jolly Stephens, Jr.
The Savannah State College
Tigers lost their second game out
of 22 to Benedict Cotiege of Co-
lumbia, South Carolina. 96-88.
This game was full of excite-
me nt.questionable officiating
and coaching on the part of the
home team. The scores at half
time were 42-33 Benedict. The
leading scorers for Benedict were
Herald Johnson 29 and Walter
Simmons 21. For SSC Redell
Walton 39 and Ira Jackson 18.

The first half started with
Benedict getting the breaks. It
seemed that SSC could not get
the ball down the court with-
out running or double dribbling.
The game was once tied at 5. but
fouling on the part of Ira Jack-
son, Savannah State College 6'
Vh" center who is one of the
leading scorers on the team gave
Benedict free throws in which
they capitalized on. With the
game six minutes old Jackson
had three fouls, which is his
game average for the season.
With Jackson having three fouls
he was replaced by Robert
Robbins and the duel between
the two teams was on. During
this half the scores were tied at
21-23-27-29 and 31. With Walton
leading Savannah and Simmons
leading the Carolinians, With
the game this tight. Savannah
State College fouling sent Bene-
dict out front to end the second
half with Benedict leading 42-33.
Walton of Savannah State
College was hlgii scorer for this
half with 21. Johnson and Sim-
mons for Benedict with 12 and
13- During this first half. Sa-
vannah found out that Benedict
had too much air in the ball,
and that caused confusion. But
the officials finally decided to
take some of the air out. This
disagreement brought on an-
other, when Benedict Coach
asked Savannah State College
Coach to take his team off the
floor, but Coach Ted Wright of
Savannah refused and the Bene-
dict Coach was ready to go into
physical violence. It was all
stopped by the officials before
it went any further.

Starting the second half for
Savannah was the same team
that started the first half, the
"Sophomore F i v e." Benedict
started their first give. The game
was going along smoothly until
the Savannah State College
Tigers came in with 3 points of
Benedict, when Larry Feet of
Benedict picked a fight with Sa-
vannah State College Captain
James Dixon, a 5' 5" guard who
had 4 assists with the second
half 8 minutes old. The official
put both of them out of the
game, the score at this time was
71-68 Benedict. Robbins replaced
Dixon an dthe Tigers were still
gaining on Benedict. With 9
minutes left in the half, Jackson
ha dshot 16 points before the
official called two consecutive
fouls on him to put him out of
(he game. The score at this time
was 76-73. SSC. With the game
moving on Timothy Shine of
Benedict fouled Walton, But an
argument came up at the official
table. Savannah State College
representative had five fouls for
Shine and the homebook which
is the official book had four so
Shine remained in the game.
At this time Tate and Walton
were scoring for the Tigers. With
four minutes left in the game
Benedict got hot and tied SSC
82-32, At this time. Tate fouled
out of the game which left only
two of the original starters in
the game. Walton and Stephen
Kelly. And then again, just like
in the first half everything SSC
Jid was wrong, as Benedict
capitalized on SSC mistakes. The
Tigers had more running, walk-
ing, dribbling violation in this
one game called o nthem than
Ihey have had in the last ten
games together.

Faculty Personality of Month

By Geialdine Lindsey
It has been said that teaching is a function of two variables

the subject taught and the pupil. In this imperfect world I would
like to add a third variable the teacher. It is very important that
the impression made by the teacher's personality should be such
as to emphasize the importance and dignity of the subject and its
value as part of our cultural heritage.
Among our faculty we have which the Savannah State Col-

The controversy over the ban-

easy calm last month.

The only public comment came
from Harvard history professor,
Dr. Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who
visited the Lehigh area.
Schlesinger said during an inter-
view with local reporters, "All
this must tickle Thomas, I
imagine no one has thought of
him as a menace for many a
year. Not in 1960 anyhow. Prob-
ably, he's enjoying the whole
thing."

Reports from the Lehigh
campus indicate that there may
be a reconsideration this spring
on the University regulation
granting the president power to

color.

Girls, It you are thinking of
adding a few clothes to your
wardrobe or having trouble de-
ciding on matching the colors of
the ones which you already have
then why not take a few sug-
gestions? Try a teal blue cos-
tume and beads with orange hat,
or maybe a green checked wool
suit with green velvt overblouse.
If you have a red suit, why not
outline it in black fur or wool?
For an even more vivid effect,
try a cerise cocktail dress with
massive jet jewelry.

If you are in need of a coat
cr ballgown then consider an
electric blue wool coat; and an
apricot satin or turquoise faille
ballgown and purple velvet, jewel
banded.

Charcoal gray looks new tor
eveiiing wear. The trend is
toward apricot, crystal embroi-
dered for evening, glistening in

A royal velvet costume with

Open Letter to SSC Family

If this publication is not published on time, then no one wants
reasons or rationale why the paper did not meet its deadline; the
only thing desired is someone to be the recipient of the blame for
the said infraction.

I sincerely feel that the SSC. family should consider that the
editorial staff are full-time students carrying a full load. There
are no superhumans working on this staff; therefore, in order to
function properly, it requires the cooperation of the entire college
at large.

I am hereby soliciting the cooperation of the Savannah State
College Family in order that the Tiger's Roar staff may meet its
deadlines and then everyone will be happy.

I thank you in advance for your profound consideration.

'Weni, widi, Winston!" Thus did Caesar
(a notoriously poor speller) hail the discovery
of Filter-Blend light, mild tobaccos specially
selected and specially processed for filter smoking.

He knew that a pure white filter

plete filter cigarette, it must have
Filter-Blend up front. And only
Winston's got it!

That's why Caesar would never
accept another brand even when it
was offered gratis. In fact, history

tells us he'd glower at the extended
pack and sneer, "Et tu, Brute?"
In a stirring peroration to his
legions, Caesar put it this way:

The Chatham County Public
Schools have no aims apart from
the developnrent of boys and
girls. If you ask Sol C. Johnson
Teachers. "What are you trying
to do? What do you assume to
be your basic asks? How does
your Guidance Program func-
tion?" They would answer some-
thing like this:

"We are teaching boys and
girls to become good citizens who
think and act in a straight for-
ward manner and who have good
character and moral firmness."

The wide range of planned'
school activities provide the
needed day to day experiences
which will help students to prac-
tice good citizenship. In his
participation the student prac-
tices critical thinking, realizing
that the pulse beat of a great
country is found only in an in-
formed citizenry. Foundations
for this kind of tlilnking will be
found on every grade level at
Sol C. Johnson.

The teachers are helping stu-
dents to master the fundamental
skills. The skills include reading.
writing, arithmetic, and spelling.
Every citizen in a democracy
must be able to read intelhgently,
speak correctly, write effectively
and listen critically in order that
he may direct his own thinking,
communicate his ideas to others,
and become a self directing in-
dividual, as well as a contribut-
ing member of society.

The curriculum includes elec-
tives such as Brick Masonry.
Homemaking. Industrial Arts.
French. Typing, Shorthand. Art,
Music. Mechanical Drawing,
Chemistry and Geometry. Elec-
tives are selected by some stu-
dents to meet vocational goals,
by other students as enrichment
courses.

At Sol Johnson, it is felt that
a sound guidance program
evolves from the cooperative

planning and effort of the entire
school staff, the student body

and the parents. The Guidance
Program is a combination of
Special Services which the school
provides for helping students in
their school living; it is also
designed to help them develop
in their home living, and to help
them develop into well-adjusted
citizens: it provides opportuni-
ties for helping students make a
happy and satisfactory adjust-
ment in the world of work.

These special services are in-
formation services. Testing serv-
ices and counseling services are
available. These services are
carried out by a Guidance Com-
mittee: teachers are appointed
by the principal.

Mrs. Melissa L. Miller, school
counselor, serves as chairman of
the Guidance Committee. Faculty
members of the Committee are
as follows: Orientation. Mrs,
Sadie Steele; Cumulative
Records, Mrs. Earlma Beckett,
Mrs. Christine Robinson, Mrs.
Mamie Hart;

Testing, Mrs. Thelma Stiles,
Louis Young, Melvin Marion:
Health S e r v i c e.^, Alexander
Luten, Mrs. Dorotliy Adams, Mrs.
Nellie Jenkins; Leisure-time Ac-
tivities, Mrs, Berneatha Harris;
Homeroom Guidance, Mrs.
Blanche Miller, Fred Singleton;
Study of Drop-outs, Mrs. Minnie
Wallace.

Principal Alflorence Cheatham,
and Assistant Principal Wade
Simmons are constantly stressing
that each student's achievement
should be based on his highest
capacity to learn. A testing pro-
gram, both of the student's
ability and his accomplishments,
must be an integral part of
teaching. Only through this
means can teachers plan effec-
tively for each individual stu-
dent.

My Kind of
Democracy

By Leford Tobias

As we look upon the world
situation, we become increasingly
aware of an erosion, a crumbling
of the principles upon which our
forefathers founded this nation.
We, as Americans, live our daily
lives guided an dsupported by
our dependence and reliance on
certain eternal principles. These
same principles were made an
organic part of the foundation
upon which our government was
erected, and because of my
objective view, I see signs of
decay and weakening of the
principles.

That we as Americans are
united cannot be questioned; yet
there are degrees of unity. We
know that our hearts are one in
support of freedom, truth, and
brotherly love. To be alert means
to take action as did our fore-
fathers when danger threatened.
Being vocal is asserting our God-
given right. Clouded and vocal
and we who can see more clearly
must also be vocal in supporting
the eternal values we love. We
sound our death knell by idly
waiting for leaders to lead: each
of us must be a leader.

A well-known and highly
respected Senator recently said:
"In th epast 25 years Congress,
the administrative branch, and
the judicial branch have done
enough harm to what I consider
the keystone of our Constitution
the tenth amendment. We
have traveled too far down the
path of centralized government
and the welfare state. We have
said too long to the American
people: You cannot do this your-
self. Let the people who work on
the banks of the Potomac do it:

"Wfe have poured in more peo-
ple and more and more billions
to let the people who work on
the zanks of the Potomac do for
the American people those things

SSC Holds An
Exhibition

The Savannah State College
Library displayed an exhibition
of sixty-three prints by the re-
nowned American artist. Betty
Waldo Parish of New York dur-
ing the month of May. Miss
Parish is a product of the
Chicago Fine Arts Academy, The
Julian Academy of Paris. France
and the New School for Social
Research of New York. She is a
member of the Society of Ameri-
can Grapliic Artists and the Na-
tional Association of Women
Artists. A winner of many prizes
for her work, she was the re-
cipient of the National Associa-
tion of Women Artists award for
the years 1939, 1946 and 1955.
The Society of American Graphic
Artists presented her an award
in 1943. Her work has been dis-
played in the Birmingham Public
Library. Syracuse University
Library. New York Historical
Society Library, the British
Museum and the Royal Museum
of Brussels.

The exhibition, on loan to the
Savannah State College Library
from the Grace Pickett Studio
Guild. West Redding, Connecti-
cut, was displayed in the Seminar
Room of the College Library
from May 8-20.

The public was invited to view
the work of Miss Parish.

which they do better for them-
selves. We are putting a Federal
Crutch under the arms of the
people. We are taking away the
bootstraps which Americans
once grasped firmly and pulled
on to make something out of
themselves. We instill in the
American people a baleful desire
to rely upon the Federal Govern-
ment for everything."

"I am sick and tired of hearing
both political parties in the
United States say to the people.
Look to Washington; forgetting
what our forefathers said: 'Look
to God : look to ourselves we
can do the job."

"We are engaged in the
destruction of our constitutional
freedom. I have kept quiet long
enough about these dangers. . . ."

It would be a fine thing if the
grass roots of glorious society
would take it upon themselves
to form committees for the pur-
pose of defending the American
Con.stitution and promote the
great democratic program.

We should work, not as Ameri-
cans, but as good, true men, who
love their country well enough
to unite to work for it and
defend it. for this is Our
America and this is My Kind
Democracy,

The Meaning of the Blues

The Blues is as old as man.

Every people have had some
way of expressing thier inner
thoughts, and if they did not
call it blues or use the same
form that we now call blues, they
nonetheless had some direct
means of self-expression.

Even the word blues is much
older than most of us realize.

We tend to think of it as
something that has risen in the
last 50 years, like the word jazz.
But the old superstitions talked
about the blue devils, the bad
spirits that come over you when
you are feeling low.

The music we call jazz is based
on blues as a means of expres-
sion. Jazz could never have come
into being without the blues, and
it will never exist without the
blues.

All art, of course, has been
devoted to self-expression. But
there is a significant difference
between art that is produced by
virtusosi and art that is pro-
duced by the people. It gives you
the feeling and discipline to per-
mit you to express yourself com-
pletely.

The blues was invented about
50 years ago by the American
Negro in the New Orleans area.
Since its advent many concepts
have been formulated into what
we are presently familiar with.
JAZZ (Modern and Progressize).

Altoist Gigi Gryce is deter-
mined to have a standing group
with a fresh sound. Often in the
past the leader of small groups
picked up for individual engage-
ments, Gryce most recently
fronted a quintet that featured
six instruments.

The new Gryce group, however,
features the leader on flute and
alto; Richard Williams, trumpet
and fluegelhorn; Reggie Work-
man, bass (Workman can also
play cello and guitari; Richard
Wyands, piano; and Mickey
Roker. drums.

This new group has been play-
ing dates in Manhattan, includ-
ing Monday night sets at Bird-
land, the Cork 'n" Bib in the
Village, and the Turbo Village in
Brooklyn.

New to this country, a new
trumpeter-composer has dug in
his roots. He is Dizzy Reece. who
plays a relaxed and lyrical kind
of modern horn in the Miles
Davis kick.

Reece spent his first two weeks
in the U. S. listening to other
musicians, in clubs and else-
where. Then he bega nto let him-
self be heard, and formed his
own group.

Appearing on his first dates
were Hank Mobley, tenor; Milt
Sealey, piano; Doug Watkins,
bass; and Art Taylor, drums.
Dizzy's efforts on wax are really
what's up. We believe he is
evidently of fto a good start in
what could turn out to be a re-
warding year for Jazz,

J. J. Johnson for the fifth
straight year has won the Down
Beat Reader's Poll for the lead-
ing trombonist in Modern Jazz.

We are now in the midst of the
most colorful season of the year,
"Spring," Spring is the season
of changes. Winter's lingering
chills slowly fade away. May
flowers are now making pleasant
impressions. Along with nature
fashions are changing too.

The new look in sport coats
this season is the washable,
Madras-type plaids, and Seer-
sucker cords. These are deftly
cut with 3 buttons, natural
shoulders, slender lapels and
flapped pockets. True distinctive
colors have been maneuvred to
characterize the college man.
Here you can get the (distinction
of individualized tailoring, expert
styling, at surprising prices as
low as $29,95.

Ail of us have used the ex-
pression, "Keep a Cool Head,"
It's now possible to do just that
wit hthe new "Raffia" straw hat.
This hat is as light as you would
like a straw, priced at $3.98.
Made in Italy, it comes in five
different colors: Brown, Blue,
Black, Natural, and Tan, Why
not get jazzy this Spring and
break out with a cool straw?

Spring is also the formal sea-
son. On campus there are many
fraternal balls that are semi-
formal or formal. And last but
not least the annual Junior-
Senior Prom. As college men you
are expected to dress formal.
Psychologically you'll feel great
in the romantic atmosphere you
stimulate by wearing correct
Spring formal wear.

Behind the Scenes

By Leford Tobias

"Behind the Scenes" takes you
for a visit with Mrs. Gertrude P.
Johnson. Mrs, Johnson is identi-
fied with the nursing staff of
Charity Hospital in Savannah.

This very charming lady is a
senior at Savannah State and a
product of the local schools of
Savannah, She received a certifi-
cate from the high school de-
partment of Georgia State In-
dustrial College, now Savannah
State, She is a member of First
Bryan Baptist Church, located
in Yamacraw Village. She is
affiliated with the Eastern Star
of the Prince Halt Jurisdiction
of Georgia. Mrs. Johnson has a
son, Louis H, Pratt, a product of
Savannah State, now teaching at
Todd Grant High School in
Darien, Georgia. She has served
for fifteen years as a Licensed
Practical Nurse.

The next stop during our romp
behind the scenes will be . . .
"Wait A Minute, since it's lunch
time, how would you like a bite
to eat? You would? Let's go to
th eCoIlege Center."

If its a sandwich or a coke or
a shake you want, the ladies to
see are Mrs. Susie M, Blake and
Mrs. Mary Low at the College
Center.

The College Center is open
from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p,m. and
you ca nbet that you will be
served with the best care and
smiles that will keep you coming
back day after day. These two
charming ladies con convert a
common pork sausage into a
delicious and mouth watering
sandwich such as you've never
seen before.

The busiest portion of each day
for these ladies is the noon lunch

in formal wear, there is a con-
tinuing trend to higher style.
Color and luster in fabrics, un-
usual tailoring details of the
jackets and patterned ties-and-
cummerbunds provide a new and
more colorful "look,"

To look your best, the new
fashions in formal wear must fit
properly and be worn correctly.
Jacket (White), Pants (black).

1. Jacket collar should hug
neck and show about \'- inch of
shirt collar.

2.Trouser legs should hang
straight in back; slightly above
top of shoe.

3. Sleeves should be short
enough to show about \'2 inch
of the cuffs of shirt and cuff
links.

4. Never wear anklet hose
whe nyou go formal. Wear socks
high enough to conceal calf.

5. Pin the cummerbund in po-
sition with a safety pin to the
shirt.

6. Wear a pocket handkerchief
but see that it shows neatly, not
bulging out of pocket.

Above are a few pointers on
correct formal dress.

Inattention to details can spoil
your entire appearance. (The
usual period for white formals
is from May 1st to Labor Day.)

Dress Tips:

1. Always untie knot in a tie
after using or before hanging
up. Knots left in ties tend to
spoil the shape.

2, If the clips on bowties be-
come loose, the tension can be
increased with a pair of pliers.

Dress Tips

(II A suit has a better chance
of recovering its shape when
hung up if everything is taken
out of the pockets even the
breast pocket handkerchief.

(2i Try putting polish on your
shoes at night and leave the
shining until the next morning.
The polish soaks into the leather,
and prolongs its life.

1 3 ) When wearing knit slim
ties, try tucking fhe ends under
your belt. This will keep you
looking tact and progressive.

Enjoy the new looks in leisure,
dress and campus wears this up-
coming year of exclusive styles.
Make sure your selections are
tailored for quality instead of
quantity.

The author suggests to those
who seek to excel in appearance
the three B's: "Be different,"
"Be clean," and "Be progressive."
If you've got a good head on
your shoulders for style . . . and
a good eye for details, make it a
must to read this column every

THE TIGER'S ROAR

SSC Te<iching Majors
Do Student Tawhing

According to Mrs. Thelma M.
Harmond. Coordinator of Stu-
dent Teaching at Savannah
State College, forty-four ele-
mentary and secondary teaching
majors were assigned to school
centers in Chatham, Laurens,
Wayne. Glynn. Ware. Liberty and
Mcintosh Counties to do student
teaching for the Spring quarter.

Student teaching is the final
phase of a sequence of profes-
sional experiences which are de-
signed to promote pre-service
teachers" understanding of the
American school system, how
clrildren grow, develop and learn
and principles underlying good
teaching- Evaluation of modern
methods and materials to be
used in teaching and providing
opportunities for students to'
have frequent contact with chil-
dren of various age levels and in
many kinds of situations are im-
portant aspects of the profes-
sional sequence.

During a full quarter of stu-
dent teaching, teaching majors
at Savannah State College move
from mere observers and part-
time participants in classroom
to the assumption of full-time
bZLiidance of pupils' learning ac-
nvities. This development, of
'ourse, takes place under the
iliiection and supervision of
'.iimpetent teachers.

8191,000 From
Ford Foundation

Northampton, Mass. (I.P.i
Smith, Mount Holyoke and Am-
herst colleges and the University
of Massachusetts have received
collectively a grant of $191,000
from the Ford Foundation to
make possible a joint program
for the further development of
non-Western studies o nail four
campuses. The institutions are
neighboring ones and have a co-
operative program among tliem-
selves.

The grant is to be used over a
period of approximately four
years and will bring to these
institutions specialists on Africa,
the Near East and South Asia as
visiting professors to give both
lectures and courses, and to ad-
vise on curricular development
in these and allied fields.

Some of the grant will be spent
to release time for present mem-
bers of the four faculties for in-
struction in these areas; to
strengthen library resources in
these subjects; and to provide
the necessary administrative ex-
penses of a cooperative operation
of this kind. The committee ex-
pects to complete necessary pre-
liminary arrangements this
semester so that a three year
program may commence in the
fall.

Concentrating on various as-
pects of the teaching situation
such as Planning, Motivation,
Discipline and other topics, the
potential teachers are trying to
find workable solutions to the
many problems facing the teach-
ing profession. At the last weekly
seminar session held at Savan-
nah State College. Thurnell
Johnson, Rose Ann Lanier, Hosie
Harris and Evelyn Gordon, dis-
cussed the problem of discipline.
They agreed that discipline is a
tremendous problem that cannot
be worked out overnight.

According to the quartet, be-
havior is caused and it is the job
of the teacher to search for
causes rather than attempting to
take short cut methods of ap-
plying immediate, and in many
cases, useless punishments
Other groups will discuss similar
problems at future seminars.

Sleep and Rest For
Emotional Vpset

Just fifteen minutes a night
can spell the difference between
a refresliing night's sleep or a
day spent yawning, the February
Reader's Digest reports. Enough
nights without adequate sleep, it
adds, can lead to severe emo-
tional and mental damage.

Reporting on the results of
recent scientific studies of the
effects of sleep loss, Author ilob-
ert O'Brien quotes Dr. Nathaniel
Kleitman. nation's foremost au-
thority on sleep: "If we do not
get enough sleep, we cannot be
fully awake during the day."
When not fully awake, we are
not in our right minds, O'Brien
adds.

How much sleep is enough?
Says Dr. George S. Stevenson of
the National Association for
Mental Health. "All human be-
ings need a minimum of six
hours' sleep to be mentally
healthy. Most people need more."

Scientists at Walter Reed
Army Institute of Research,
Washington, D. C, have deter-
mined that a brain deprived of
sleep will make any sacrifice to
get it. After a few hours without
sleep, the brain begins to "steal"
fleeting seconds of slumber. As
sleepless hours increase, the
lapses become longer, perhaps
three or four seconds. In a
speeding automobile or on a
complex job such lapses can
spell disaster.

Most common result of too
little sleep is irritability, O'Brien
reports. Frustration may be a
major cause of this snappishness,
according to Dr. E. J. Murray, a
Syracuse University psychologist.
When hunger for sleep is frus-
trated, the effect is somewhat
similar to snatching a juicy bone
from a hungry dog.

If you are a chronic stay-up-
later, the Digest warns you'd
better not rely on that proverbial
"one good night" to put you back
in shape. Dr. and Mrs. Graydon
L. Freeman. Northwestern Uni-
versity psychologists, found that
at least two full nights and
preferably more are necessary to
bounce back from one four-hour
night.

More Sleep," is condensed from
Farm Journal.

Bridgeport, Conn. (LP.) A
contribution of $79,800 from
Charles Anderson Dana to pro-
vide full tuition scholarships for
36 students at the University of
Bridgeport on a five year experi-
mental basis was announced
here recently by President James
H, Halsey.

Twelve Dana scholars will be

mores in the present freshman
class. These students will be
selected in September. 1961 and
12 will be selected in September,
1962, A total of 36 Dana Scliolars
will be in attendance at the
University at that time.

Once selected the Dana
Scholars will continue to receive
scholarship assistance until they
earn their baccalaureate degree,
Dr. Halsey observed, providing
that they continue to satisy the
University's academic require-
ments. The purpose of the
Charles A. Dana scholarships to
to identify and encourage stu-
dents of academic promise who
show potential traits of leader-
sliip in business, industry and
the professions, and who are in
needs of financial assistance.

Students must have completed
at least one year of study at the
University and must plan to con-
tinue for the baccalaureate de-
gree. "Dana Scholars may be-
come to the University what
Rhodes Scholars are to Oxford
University," Dr Halsey observed.

tending Savannah State who
does not know Lester. He plays
an important role on this
campus by giving much of his
time and effort in service to the
school and to his fellow school-
mates.

Lester has been a key figure
in several organizations ever
since he entered this institution
in 1956. At present he is Presi-

Lester, a young man noted for
neatness in dress, can be very
well described as the intelligent,

Recently he was one of the two

all expense paid trip to Russia

Like most well-rounded per-

From all indications you have
a great future ahead, Lester.
May you continue to be success-
ful and always remember that

SPORTLITE

By Charles S. Tootle
This edition of the Tiger's Roar
brings to your attention Ira
Jackson, one of the most valu-
able players on the Savannah
State College Basketball Team.
Jackson is a 6 foot 2'- inch
Sophomore, majoring in Health
and Physical Education. He is a
graduate of Crane Tech High
School, Chicago. Illinois, where
he was active in basketball, base-
ball and track.

In 1959, as a freshman, Jack-
son was voted to the all-con-
ference team of the S.E.A.C. In-
deed a more developed player
this year, it is predicted that he
will make the all-conference
team again.

Jackson, a soft spoken in-
dividual, on and off the basket-
ball court, has contributed much
to the morale of his teammates.
He has done so by exhibiting
good sportsmanship and friend-
liness while associating with
members of the student body and
players of other teams.

Rarely does one find such an
athlete that v/ill keep "cool and
calm" in situations that should
require one to do otherwise.

Jackson is an asset to Savan-
nah State as a basketball player.
Hi.=s hobbies are dancing, golf,
ping pong, reading and tennis.

He knew that a pure white filter

Several members of the Stu-
dent National Educational As-
sociation attended the annual
State Meeting held on February
5-6. at Paine College in Augusta.
Georgia. The delegation was
given a very hearty welcome
upon their arrival.

The meeting was Informative,
inspirational, and stimulating.
Miss Rhodes, one of our SNEA
members, was elected State
President for the year 1960-61.
She is the second person of the
Savannah State College Family
to hold such office. The college
can again be proud of its SNEA
members.

It is interesting to note that
while the SSC delegation placed
Miss Rhodes' name in the elec-
tion pot. their group did not
promote her for the office of
president. The interviewing com-
mittee, being highly impressed
with Cynthia during the pre-
liminary conference, saw fit to
voluntarily submit her name for
the presidency rather than for
one of the lesser offices as sug-
gested by her college fellows.

The meeting was highlighted
by a "Celebrities Banquet," at
which time Mrs. Sadie D. Steele,
Georgia State Teacher of the
year 1959-60, gave the main ad-
dress.

Persons attending the meeting
were Misses Juanita Howard.
President of the SSC SNEA
Chapter. Vivian Sheffield. Nellie
Shelman. Lula Young, Pauline
Jordan, Willie M. Ruth, Cynthia
Rhodes. Mr. Willie B. Lester,
Lloyd Hawkins, and our advisor,
Mrs, Dorothy C. Hamilton.

By the way. did you note and
read the pamphlets which were
distributed during Religious
Emphasis Week? That wa sthe
work of your Student National
Education Association.

I hope this bit of news about
our SNEA Chapter will encourage
more of our students to become
members and those who are
members to become more active
by attending meetings regularly.

"Spring's Short- Sleeves Assure
Long Glove Success"

Postive proof of the import-
ance of the eight button glove
for spring was underlined for
the consumer by retail advertise-
ments in New York newspapers
showing the new short, open-
sleeved suits and coats.

This season, the belling sleeve,
cropped to elbow length, came to
the fashion scene, drawing the
spotlight to the long glove. Wide
open space left by these new
cropped sleeves allows ample
room for the graceful look of the
long glove which can bring a
wide expanse of color up the
arm, or can be shirred gracefully.
or elaborated witli embroidery
all of these without producing a
cluttered look.

The success of the eight-
button length was confirmed in
fall and holiday selling this past
year. Its growing acceptance has
brought it well on the way to
classic status, rivaling the shortie
and painting a rosy prospect for
spring sales.

In addition, the significance of
color-neutralized in many cases
to accessorize the white and
neutral colors reigning over the
ready-to-wear scene, marks up
a sharp point for the longer
glove. It has an important
fashion coordinating job to do
this spring.

From a style standpoint the
eight-button glove has never
been so pretty. It is strewn with
embroidery, lace and eyelets.

For fit. the longer version is
elasticized at the wrist in pretty
trapunto bracelets, with even an
elasticized top in pursuit of the
smooth, slim arm.

Dr. Williams Speaks
At Assembly Projjtrain

By Norman B. Elmore
Dr, Elson K. Williams. Director
of Summer School. Co-ordinator
of General Education, and Pro-
fessor of Social Sciences at Sa-
vannah State College, addressed
the college family at the All-
College Assembly program June
30, 1960.

The speaker's address was en-
titled: "The Real Quality of
Man," Dr, Williams stated that
"we should dedicate ourselves to
the service of humanity and
strive to eradicate the exploita-
tion of background nations by
powerful and imperialistic gov-
ernments." He closed his address
by asking the student body to
join the crusade against com-
munism which is a malignant
threat to freedom and world
peace.

Dr. Williams was introduced
by Rev. A. E, Peacock, college
minister. The music for the oc-
casion was under the direction
of Dr. C. A. Braithwaite, Chair-
man of the Fine Arts Depart-
ment.

Other points brought out about
the continent is that Africa is
a beautiful place and does not
have an unfit climate as many
believe. It is a cultural continent,
and not a continent of laziness.

There were a number of
African-made articles placed on
exhibition during and after
Assembly. They included articles
made of ebony and other woods
and materials native to the
continent of Africa. After the
Assembly. Mr. Wells entertained
questions from the students con-

Message from Student Council President

Dear Fellow Students:

Significant factors of our day indicate that all around us
changes are self-evident. This spirit of throwing out the old and
welcoming the new and better is present here on our campus also.
The general concensus of opinion echoes the cry that this is the
year to have a student council that is really on the job.

This feeling represents a healthy attitude, for complacency has
long outlasted its usefulness. Nothing new is ever experienced by
this who are completely happy with the things that surround them.

Your student council can only be as strong as the student body
it represents. And in like manner, your leaders can only help
whenever they are acquainted with your needs. For these two
reasons, plans are now in progress for a permanent student council
office. Regularly scheduled meetings of the entire student body
are also in the making. None of these factors can be successful,
however, without your loyal support. It is as a result of your
support that I was chosen Student Council President, It is my
earnest prayer that this same support that was previously shown
will last throughout the school year and work to produce a record
unequalled by any before and unattainable by any coming after us.
Yours very sincerely,
EVA C. BOSEMAN.
Student Council President

Message from Summer
School Director

The Summer Quarter marks
an articulate phase of the entire
process of education at Savan-
nah State College. It supple-
ments and complements the ex-
periences that are afforded dur-
ing the regular school year. It
enriches and invigorates the
educational tone of the college.
It provides for the immediate
needs of the most diversified
interests and talents.

The standards of scholarship
for the Summer Quarter are
comparable in all respects to
those of the academic year. The
quality and quantity of teaching
and learning, the educational
preparation of the faculty, and
the regular student body parallel
those of the school year. In ad-
dition, the educational back-
ground of our in-service teachers
I most of them have already at-
tained a bachelor's degree and
a few the master's degree) con-
tributes substantially to an en-
riched atmosphere for teaching
and learning.

The purpose of the Summer
Quarter is stated in The Savan-
nah State College Bulletin:

1. To afford opportunities for
teachers in service to complete
degree erquirements; renew, up-
grade, reinstate or reconvert
their certificates; improve their
professional status; and enrich
their experience for personal
growth;

2. To make it possible for stu-
dents regularly enrolled to pur-
sue their studies the year around,
and consequently to complete
degree requirements In less than
the normal period of four years;

3. To provide a program for
entering .students 'freshmen) to
begin their college work during
the summer;

4. To institute special work-

The School Spirit at SSC

By Yvonne McGlocicton

After attending this institution
for the past three years, it is
quite evident that one of the
greatest needs of our college is
school spirit. Here the students
take little interest in participat-
ing in extra-curricular activities
and as a result the school spirit
is below par.

This poor school spirit may be
due to a lack of stimulation.
Many of the campus activities do
not stimulate enough interest
among the students. They merely
exist from year to year and make
no beneficial contribution to the
school.

Poor school spirit can also be
contributed to lazy students. In
this category are those students
who come to the institution with
no intention of participating in
anything that is not a require-
ment. Let's hope that none of
our students fall in this category.

In the future let's try to im-
prove the school spirit at this
institution. Let's use more of our
talents and skills for the benefit
of the school. The school spirit
is the life of a school. In order
for Savannah State College to
grow in the future, the school
spirit must be improved.

shops an dprojects varying ac-
cording to demands of all of the
interested and qualified persons
concerned; and

5. To serve as a community
college for all persons who are
qualified to attend and are able
to receive benefits from the
college experience.

The administration and faculty
along with the facilities of the
college are designed to stimulate
scholarship, to facilitate learn-
ing, and to provide the most
desirable experiences for all who
attend Savannah State College
during this quarter.

Politics and World News

The Editor S/M^ttks

Prestige is largely a matter of
feeling, suggestion, impression;
and it depends primarily on the
possession of leadership wliich
each of us has acquired through
the years. The fact of the matter
is certain that all men have the
quality of good leadership.

Though there is something in
what we call a "natural gift of
authority." which cannot be ac-
quired; it comes from the inner-
most being of some individuals.
and varies in each. The true
leader, like the great artist, or
singer is a man with inner
propensity which can be
strengthened by the exercise of
his abilities.

Students in college have a
great opportunity to show and
develop their leadership and
other outstanding abilities. It is
up to us to evaluate ourselves
an dbring to the open these
special interests. The training we
are now being exposed to will
no doubt develop our individual
leadership and prestige.
How To Be An Effective Leader:

1 Always have a pleasant but
stern personality. Meet new peo-
ple, never stop speaking to those
you know,

2. Observe others carefully
and make clear your objective
as a leader.

3. Be able to cope with factors
in any situation.

4. Insure yourself of self-
confidence and determination to
do a good job.

5. Always establish an atmos-
phere of calmness and alertness.

6. Influence men's minds
through speech, and dress. Al-
ways create favorable impres-
sions.

The above concepts are per-
sonal speculations each one
should possess.

The responsibilities of a leader
lies within one's self-determina-
tion.

Once the leader has been
judged capable of adding the
weight of his personality to the
known factors of any situation,
the ensuring hope and con-
fidence will add immensely to
the faith resposed in him by
others.

Remember, to speak to the
dilute one's thoughts, to give
vent to one's ardor in short, to
dissipate one's strength whereas
action demands all of these plus
concentration.

Strength of speech and inner
determination will pave the way
to greater heights of prestige
and leadership.

The Forthcoming
iSational Election

By James J. DeVoe

Who are you going to vote for
in November in the event that
Richard Nixon and John F.
Kennedy are the candidates of
their respective parties? This
question is very important in
American political circles today.
The Democratic candidate may
be hindered by his age and re-
ligion, although he showed con-
siderable strength at the Demo-
cratic National Convention by
winning his party's nomination
on the first ballot.

On the Republican angle, a
vast majority of the people be-
lieve that Mr. Nixon is too con-
servative. They further stressed
that his party was to blame to
some extent for the failure of
the Paris Summit Conference.
So, one can plainly see that Mr.
Nixon too has some hurdles to
pass.

All in all. discussing the situ-
ation of the various candidates
and their respective platforms
will not help them, unless the
American people go to the polls
and vote in November. Talk is
cheap; it's the vote that counts.

Student Opinions of the Forth-
coming Presidential Election:
William Burton, senior:
"I am definitely for Kennedy.
His religion and youth should
not be a major factor in this
election, Mr, Kennedy is the
man who will do a splendid job
in the White House,"

Miss Roberta Davis, freshman:
"I am going to vote for the
candidate who will stress strong
civil rights for the Negro popula-
tion,"

Thomas Farlow, junior:
"I will vote for Mr, Nixon, be-
cause I want to be on the
winning side,"

Miss Shirley D Jones, junior:

"One of the most important
positions of the world is that of
President of the United States.
The next president should be
able to accept responsibility in
an Intelligent manner, and he
should further stress more racial
equality. I sincerely feel that
this man is Mr, Nixon."

Miss Mary D, Wilson, fresh-
man:

"I will cast my vote for Ken-
nedy because I feel that he has
a bright outlook on the future as
far as the United States is con-
cerned- He has freely voiced his
opinions on vital issues and he
seems to be able to handle the
situation that Mr. Eisenhower
failed to attempt,"

Mrs. Rosa Lee James, senior:

"I am going to vote for Senator
Kennedy, because he has suc-
ceeded in helping to solve the
unsettled state of world affairs."

Miss Geraldine Spaulding,
junior;

"In November. I will cast my
vote for Senator John F. Ken-
nedy, because he is an experi-
enced leader who will channel
the United States into an era of
peace and security,"

Miss Ruby Futch, sophomore:

"I am voting for Vice President
Nixon, because I like the outlook
of the Republican Party I also
feel that Mr, Nixon has the ex-
perience that it takes to carry
on the responsibilities of the
President of the United States."

National Sports

By Charles S, Tootle
For The First Time

For the first time in history
it has been done. I refer to the
recent triumph gained by the
young master Floyd Patterson.
The youngster who roamed the
streets of New York City has
gained international fame by
recapturing the heavyweight
title of the world in dethroning
the "'glamour boy," Ingemar
Johansson, in the fifth round of
their proposed fifteen rounder.
June 20.

The youthful Patterson says
that for the first time he feels
like a real champ. "This is easily
the most gratifying moment in
my life. 1 never for a moment
thought of losing, but to win it
this way it's just perfect. I
can't tell you how happy I am."
were the words Patterson spoke
after his great victory.

When asked if he wanted to
fight Patterson again, Johansson
stared glassily and mumbled. "I
don't know."

So down in history goes
another record among the many
which have been made by "Tan"
stars.

Sets World Record at Trials

Also on our national scene we
find that John Thomas of Boston
University, during the Olympic
trials held at Stanford, Cali-
fornia. July 1 and 2, broke and
made world records in the high-
lump,

Thomas' jump of 7' S-'i" gave
to him a spot on the U. S.
Olympic team that will travel
to Rome, Italy, When the an-
nouncement was made concern-
ing the jump, the crowd of some
43,000 people rose to their feet
and cheered him.

Some believed that Thomas,
after a not-so-long-ago "freak"
accident on an elevator would
never again be able to jump.
However, this determined lad.
who is in his "teens," has proven
that he can set many more
records before the "chips" go
down.

Thomas will be amidst but a
few teen-agers who will ventm'e
with this mighty team that the
United States will send abroad.
During the trials, thirteen try-
out records were made and one
tied in 17 events by Thomas.

Can the United States sweep
the meet in Rome':' Let us wish
them luck.

Timely Thoughts
For the Month

Collected by Alphonso McLean

If a man is worth knowing at
all, he is worth knowing well,
Alexander Smith.

To accept good advice is but
to increase one's own ability.
Goethe.

Men's arguments often prove
nothing but their wishes.
Colton.

No bird soars too high if he
soars with his own wings. W.
Blake.

There should be as little merit
in loving a woman for her
beauty ,as a man for his pros-
perity, both being equally sub-
ject to change. Pope.

Remember that what you be-
lieve will depend very much upon
what you are. Noah Porter.

If you would know the value
of money, go and try to borrow
.some. He that goes a-borrowing
goes a -sorrowing. Franklin.

Every time a man smiles, and
much more when he laughs, it
adds something to his fragment
of life. Sterne.

Ideas control the world,
Garfield.

The reason why lovers are
never weary of one another is
this they are always talking of
themselves. Rochefoucauld.

The man that has a tongue,
I say, is no man, if with his
tongue he cannot win a woman.
^Shakespeare.

Progress is the activity of to-
day and the assurance of to-
morrow. Emerson.

The writer of this column
takes pleasure in presenting in
this edition two interesting per-
sonalities.

One of the personalities is
Carolyn Vinson, a junior, who
hails from Savannah, Georgia,
and is a graduate of Alfred E
Beach High of this city.

In the fall of 1958, Carolyn
enrolled at Savannah State Col-
lege and immediately became
one of the college's active stu-
dents. She joined the creative
dance group, college playhouse,
college marching band as a
majorette, and the women's
ensemble. In her sophomore year
she added to her already long
list of activities. Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority.

Carolyn proves the fact that
extra-curricular activities and
scholarship do go together. Every
consecutive quarter since she has
been at the college she has been
on the honor roll.

Attractive and debonair, Caro-
lyn is the happy-go-lucky type.
Her pet peeve is "I am not
worrying." For enjoyment she
has a variety of interests which
include swimming, dancing, and
reading.

At present she is majoring in
Social Science with the ambition
of becoming a social worker after
she goes to graduate school.

Another interesting personality
is that of Nathaniel Johnson.

Cooperative, courteous. and
competent are three "C's" which
adequately describe Nathaniel.
He is always willing to give a
helping hand and he is highly
efficient in his work.

Hailing from Savannah, Geor-
gia, Nathaniel is a 1956 graduate
of Woodville (Tompkins) High
School of this city. Presently at
Savannah State, he is a senior
majoring in mathematics and
minoring in physics. He is affili-
ated with several campus organ-
izations such as Beta Kappa Chi
National Scientific Honor So-
ciety I vice president). Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity (Dean of
Pledgees ) , Committee for Cur-
riculum Improvement, and the
Student Council (vice president).

His favorite dishes are roast
chicken and fried shrimp. As a
pastime, he enjoys golf and
tennis. His foremost ambitions
are to obtain a civil service po-
sition with the United States
government, own a sports car,
and marry Eleanor Johnson.

The writer of this column
takes pride in adding these two
outstanding personalities to the
Spotlight. May your abilities and
attitudes continue to be reflected
among your associates.

Modern Art Is
Acceptable?

By Theodore Smith

This is the first In a series of
articles which will appear in the
Tiger's Roar. The appreciation
of art is generally not accepted
as it should be. The purpose of
this column is to cite new and
old creations in art.

The author wishes to remind
the reader that he is not an
artist and these articles will
present modern art from a non-
technical point of view.

In order to generalize the Idea
of modern art, one must include
the progressive types of writings
and music of our times.

The phrase "Modern Art," is
an image of a canvas covered
with some arbitrary organiza-
tion of lines and colors which
at best confuses rather than
clarifies the mind of the painter.
Sometimes along with this im-
pression there is a BEARDED
INDIVIDUAL called a BEATNIK,
who receives credit for creating
a masterpiece, often called a
"mess,"

Another impression of modern
art might be a bar or a cafe at
which the painters gather to
exhibit their works to the inter-
ested public.

If anyone of these images is
a true one, perhaps It might as
well be considered all of these as
the trend in art today. Art itself
is the heart of a man who looks
into the smallest expression of
inner beliefs and truth and puts
it on canvas In oil. It reaches out
to capture the eye as well as
human imagination.

Modern art is many things to
many men in different places. It
is a way of expression and
pleasure. How do you feel toward
modern art? I sincerely hope you
will evaulate my thoughts on the
subject and follow this column
in future issue of the Tiger's
Roar.

Nearly 50,000 Foreign
Suideuts in U. S. Colleges

More foreign students in the
United States during 1959-60
than ever before, the Institute of
International Education reported
in its annual survey released to-
day. The 48,486 foreign students
in American college classrooms
this year continue to represent
the largest foreign student popu-
lation in the world.

Actually, however, this year's
increase is the smallest rise in
the last six years. In 1958-59. the
increase of foreign students over
the previous year was 8.8%,
whereas this year the rise was
only 2.6%, This may be an in-
dication that the heavy influx
of foreign students each year is
leveling off.

On the other side of the two-
way exchange, the traffic of
American students going abroad
increased a significant 34%,.
Though part of this increase is
attributed to better polling, more
and more young Americans are
discovering the rewards of a
foreign academic experience.

The movement of foreign
faculty members who came to
teach or do research and foreign
doctors who served as interns
and residents throughout our
fifty states also accelerated this
last year. The only decrease in
any of the exchange categories
surveyed was a 3.9%> drop in the
number of American faculty
teaching or conducting research
abroad.

These findings are revealed in
the sixth edition of Open Doors,
HE'S annual statistical report on
educational exchange. The 41-
year-old Institute is the world's
oldest and largest multi-national
exchange organization which
itself administers programs in-
volving more than 6,000 Ameri-
can and foreign persons each
year.

The 48.486 foreign students in
the United States this year came
from 141 different countries and
political areas and studied at
1,712 institutions of higher learn-
ing in every state of the Union,
the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico. Only 37%. of them
were newly-arrived, in contrast
with 1958-59 when 58% of that
year's foreign student population
began their studies here. Their
favorite field of study, as in
previous years, was engineering,
and more than half of them
were undergraduates.

The largest number of foreign
students (17,175) continued to
come from the Far East and the
second largest number < 9,428 1
from Latin America, according
to Open Doors 1960. For the sec-
ond consecutive year, the
rapidly - developing Near and
Middle East sent more students
(7-110) here for study than did
Europe (6,362). While area per-
centages vary only slightly from
last year, both the Far East and
Africa sent more students here
for study than in 1958-59.
Canada continued to be the
single country sending the
largest number of students to
our shores.

The judge he was talking to
coldly answered. "I can assure

Modern Trumpet Players

"What Miles Davis showed us,"
says Art Farmer, who has de-
veloped into one of the most
warmly lyrical of modern jazz
trumpet players, "was that you
could play musically and get
recognition without having a lot
of a technique,"

Before Davis, of course, there
were other jazz trumpeters who
played spare, singing lines
among them, Bix Belderbecke,
Joe Smith iwho was particularly
expressive behind Bessie Smith),
and Frankle Newton. Another,
who has survived and is as
judiciously eloquent as ever is
Bobby Hackett. Farmer is im-
pressed by Hackett's "fluidity
and that full sound and feeling
he always gets out of his horn."
Miles Davis, who is more diffi-
cult to please than any critic,
is also a long-term Hackett ad-
mirer. "He has such consistent
taste," Miles said recently, "that
he never gets tiresome."

Art Farmer meanwhile Is the
nominal leader of a brass-with-
rhythm section sextet In BRASS

written two originals and five
other arrangements that are
thoroughly Idiomatic In their
scoring for the three trumpets.
two trombones, baritone horn,
French horn, and tuba, Golson
achieves a mellow brass sound
in the ensemble passages with
emphasis on the middle and
lower ranges In contrast to the
leaping of the Stan Kenton and
Maynard Ferguson brass sec-
tions. Out of Golson's subtly
colored textures come several
persuasive, thoughtful soloist be-
sides Farmer, Among them are
Curtis Fuller, trombonist and
Julius Watklns, the only jazz
player on French horn who
doesn't sound as if he had
strayed into the wi'ong studio.

In BRASS SHOUT, there are
also two intense trumpet solos
by Lee Morgan, a breezily self-
confident twenty - one - year-old
who is more In the explosive
tradition of Dizzy Gillespie and
Clifford Brown but is also grow-

Until I heard the doctor tell

And sit and sigh and moan,

Sigma Theta Sorority recently,
the dreams of several of the
sorors have come true. In this
edition we would like to relate
some of them to you,

Eva Boseman. Eleanor John-
son, and Yvonne McGlockton's
dreams came true when they
were victorious in the recent

tively.

Cynthia Rhodes' dream be-
came a reality when she recently
boarded a plane en route to San

also president-elect of the Geor-
gia SNEA.

Nine other sorors dreams
came true when they received
degrees from this institution a
few weeks ago. The chapter
honored them with a farewell
party on Hilton Head Beach in
Hilton Head. South Carolina,

The chapter's dream came true
when we received for the fifth
consecutive year the Kappa
Alpha Psi scholarship trophy.
This trophy is awarded annually
to the Greek-letter organization
with the highest scholastic
average.

The chapter has helped to
make the dreams of others come
true by giving a box of clothing
to the Happy Home School for
mentally retarded children of
this city. We also gave a contri-
bution to the Fight For Freedom
Fund.

This fall we are looking for-
ward to working under the

make many dreams come true
for the sorority, the school, and
the community.

Seniors Measured for
Caps and Gowns

The members of the August
class are all in smiles, and for a
very good reason. They have
been measured for caps and
gowns. Most of them are begin-
ning to feel an atmosphere of
dignity and pride.

According to Prince Jackson,
Jr., the advisor for the senior
class, there are about sixty
members who are anticipating
graduation.

Seniors are you ready for that
last mile? You had better check
and double check. "Meuren
jours" (happy days).

and to help them to become
thoroughly acquainted with the
Georgia science program.

The group is now performing
experiments in the Broad Area:
Inanimate Matter Water, Upon
completion of work in this area,
each member of the group may
work independently on the prob-
lem or problems which he feels

Students Dist-uss New

Library Standards

Members of the Library
Science Class, 302. School Library
Administration and Organiza-
tion, of Savannah State College
presented an assimilated Tele-
thon on the new school library
standards which were published
in March by the American
Library Association, in the all-
college chapel program, Thurs-
day, July 7, Focusing attention
on the new set of standards for
school library-service, Library
Science students pointed out to
their fellow summer school stu-
dents that the school library at
both elementary- and secondary-
school levels, has a vital part to
play in supporting and promot-
ing the aims of the total school
program.

These standards were de-
veloped by the American As-
sociation of School Librarians,
working with representatives of
twenty other educational organ-
izations. They set forth the
principles and goals of an effec-
tive library program and describe
the basic requirements of its
realization. Dr. Frances Henne,
Associate Professor in the Co-
lumbia University Library School
and Miss Ruth Ersted, State
School Library Supervisor in
Minnesota, who served as co-
chairmen of the School Library
Standards Committee of the
American Association of School
Librarians, succinctly depict the
standards as follows: "The pri-
mary purpose of the standards
is to describe the school library
resources and services needed to
provide quality education for
children and young people and
to present guide lines for de-
veloping school library programs
of this nature : the standards
therefore focus on library pro-
grams that contribute directly
and effectively to the achieve-
ment of the objectives of these
schools. They must be considered
in relation to the objectives of
schools and not in an isolated
or artificial fashion as though
they referred to a library pro-
gram set apart from the school
as a whole."

Students who appeared on the
Panel represented a wide variety
of backgrounds. The following
in-service teachers participated;
Mrs. Albertha Vaughns, Savan-
nah; Mrs, Jewell C, Robinson,
Orange County, Florida ; and
Mrs. Lucy G. Solomon, Savan-
nah. Two teacher-librarians who
were enrolled and actively par-
ticipated were Mrs. Carrie May-
nor, Screven County, and Mrs,
Mattie Hicks, Liberty County. A
public librarian in Pierce County,
Florida, Mrs. Rachel Meeks. also
served on the panel. Under-
graduate students who partici-
pated on the program were Miss
Vera Adkins and Miss Minnie
Ruth Smith who are seniors. E.
J. Josey, Librarian and Associate
Professor, was the instructor of
the course in School Library Ad-
ministration and Organization.

SSC Students at
New York Child
Care Center

By Yvonne McGlockton

Eleven of Savannah State Col-
lege students have been em-
ployed with the New York
Migrant Child Care program for
the summer. They are Zadia
Brown. Hattie Burton, Almarie
Glover. Verdell Lambert, Drucilla
Moore. Ella Marie Phillips, Vir-
ginia Norris, Ruby Sims, Mar-
guerite Tiggs, and Vernita
Wright.

These students will serve as
directors, assistant directors, and
group leaders at one of the
twelve migrant centers which
are sponsored by the state of
New York in collaboration with
the New York Growers and
Processors Association.

The centers which are man-
aged solely by college students,
afford great opportunities for
experince in planning and di-
recting- activities for children of
all ages.

Last year four students from
this institution worked with the
program. Among them was Alice
Kight, a June graduate, who
served as director of one of the
centers.

Senor Jason's
Spanish Workshop

By Rachel E. Thomas
In-service teachers and regular
students were given the oppor-
tunity to increase their Spanish
speaking talents and gain new
skills in the six weeks Spanish
Workshop offered this summer.
Many experiences were gained
through the very capable leader-
ship of Senor Howard Jason,
Associate Professor of languages
and literature.

The course began on June 15.
I960 with these principal pur-
poses in mind: il) to increase
the student's competence in the
language; (2) to acquaint him
with methods and materials for
teaching this course; (3i to give
him some insight into Spanish
life and civilization; and i4) to
point out to him the urgent need
today for Americans to study
foreign languages, in the hope
that he will carry the message to
his students and to the people
in his community.

The course aimed to have the
students speak, listen, and read.
and write as much Spanish as
possible. The methods employed
were: lU to have both teacher
and students use Spanish as
much as possible; i2) to have
students make tape recordings
of their own speech, replay the
tapes and analyze their pro-
nunciation; i3) to make a sec-
ond recording to determine the
improvements made; and (4i to
practice reading assignments on
which the students are asked
questions to be answered either
orally or written in Spanish.
Other techniques used were
dictations, work on chalkboards,
free compositions on subjects
that had been discussed orally,
lectures, and films in which the
students had opportunities to
express their thoughts and
opinions.

Mr. Roberson spoke on the topic,
Being a senior means stepping
out into a world where the color
lines are being erased and an
individual will be judged on
merit instead of pigmentation of
skin. If we as seniors are to suc-
ceed upon departing from our
beloved Alma Mater, then God
Almighty must be our constant
companion. As seniors, we are
obligated to ourselves and God
to fight for those things we feel
are right, because if we do not.
we will be dead even though we
yet live." These are some ex-
cerpts from Mr. Roberson's
speech.

Social Welfare of Haiti, various
reports from Jamaica, and
several background studies of
family life in the Caribbean
area.

Examples of Adult Education

arts and crafts projects of
weaving from Jamaica are ex-
hibited. These projects are in-
dicative of the Caribbean pro-
gram of adult education which
is geared to making the people
economically secure. Haitian
records featuring Guy du Rosier,
leading Haitian musician and his
orchestra, may be seen. The
ladies of the course could not
resist returning to America with-
out the famous Khus Khus per-
fume which may be viewed. Two
outstanding examples of public

the new interest in art as part
of education in Haiti. Weaving
craft from Haiti, and beads

made from coffee beans and
castor beans are included.

delighted the ladies on tour, and
excellent examples are on dis-
play. Industrial Art from the

delightful viewing, A frond from
a coconut tree in Puerto Rico is
rather picturesque. Sisal fiber,
a type of material for weaving
mats, table runners, hats and
bags, are shown in a variety of
colors. Pillow cases on exhibition

lege president, fifteen dollars in
behalf of the workshop class to
be used for the National Educa-
tional Defense Loan Fund,

"Significant changes in edu-
cation and resulting changes for
teacliers in Georgia Schools"
was the topic of his address.
He spoke of the changes in edu-
cational requirements and the
increase in salaries for teachers
in Georgia. The number of chil-
dren entering school each year
continues to increase and at the
same time the number of drop-
outs in school continues to in-
crease also. The primary reasons
for the drop-outs, stated Mr.
Martin, are inadequate curricula
and unsatisfactory student-
teacher relationship.

He concluded his address with
these comments : "Everyone
certified to teach is not quali-
fied to teach and knowing how
to teach is not knowing what
to teach."

Mrs, Dorothy C. Hamilton, Sa-
vannah State College instructor,
introduced Mr. Martin and Mrs.
Lela W, Stone presided through-
out the program. Music was
furnished by Dr. C. A. Braith-

ing to the parade marshal. In
an effort to make this the best
homecoming parade ever pre-

their decorations early and allow
ample time to perfect them.

^o the first, second, third, and
fourth place winners in the car.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Today, it is important that many people be able to hit the
"bull's eye." In all aspects of life now the need for accuracy is in-
creasing far moie rapidly than one suspects. That condition is
evident when one considers the number of automobile accidents,
the development of machines, directions for operating mechanical
devices, and the great variety of instructions for doing or making
things. In many instances the success of the undertaking depends
upon the degree of accuracy observed by the individuals in the
perfoi'mance.

Accuracy in performance is related to timing, speed, aims and
objectives, and habits possessed by the individual under considera-
tion. The achievements in the mechanical world in the last decade
have emphasized the necessity of accuracy at every stage of the
development. Missiles and outer-space projects have dramatized
this quality. At no other time in the history of mankind has there
been greater demand for planning and following what has been
planned.

In the colleges and universities of our country many students
are apparently unmindful of the changes and significance of the
changes that are in progress. This is reflected in the manner in
which they live during their college careers. It is doubtful that
many have plans that lead beyond the awarding of the bacca-
laureate degree. When it is possible to complete the college course
In three calendar years rather than four academic years, the
student saves time and arrives at his next point a year ahead of
the traditional group. When his studies have been planned in
terms of his proposed career, and his habits of study and achieve-
ment have been developed with full awareness of their role in life,
the expectd outcomes can be predicted to a considerable degree
of accuracy.

Planning with accuracy is not to be thought of in terms of the
natural sciences and mathematics only. The same habits of study
and techniques are required for the successes which one desires in
the humanities, social sciences, and the professions. All phases of
living today require a similar approach. The relationships among
the various fields of study require the balancing of all phases of
our life Into a unified thrust for the highest achievement of man.

Message from Stufleiit Council President

tentatively set for October 13

Dear Fellow Students:

Several very well known cliches
could be used to describe the
enormous task that awaits our
immediate attention upon re-
turning to school on Friday,
September 23. One glance at our
tentative schedule and you will
agree that in order to accom-
plish these feats all of us are
going to have to work long and
hard to reach our goals.

The most Important item con-
fronting the student body at
large is the extensive prepara-
tions that are necessary for the
Homecoming activities. Please
do not be caught sleeping. The
time factor is an element of
great importance leading up to
the Homecoming date. The
Homecoming date has been set
for Saturday, October 15. at 2:00
P.M. The events prior to this
affair are equally as important
a,s the affair itself. Therefore,
the Coronation Ball and the
bonfire must also be a success.
The dates for the Coronation
Ball and the bonfire have been

SSC Offers Great Opportunities

In Teclniology Class Bi^ji^ins in Fall

students entering the technical program this fall will begin
classes in Savannah State Colleges' new million dollar Technical
Building,

The types of technical program offered leading to a Bachelor
of Science degree in technology are as follows:

I, Automotive Technology
Auto Repairs, Auto Body Re-
building. Machine Shop Train-
ing,

II, Building Construction
Technology Building Construc-
tion. Masonry. Plumbing, Sur-
veying and Estimating. Me-
chanical and Architectural
Drawing.

III, Electronic and Electrical
Technology Electric Repairs
and Instruction, Communication
System Repairs, Radio and TV
Repairs and Installation.

The following fields offer a
great opportunity for employ-
ment as technicians: Automotive
Technonogy. Building Construc-
tion . Electric Power. Diesel.
Chemical. Instrumentation, Air
Conditioning, Aviation Elec-
tronics.

Today there is an urgent need
for people with special skills and
training to translate scientific
ideas and discoveries into useful

products and services. This is
the role of the technician.

The technician is a special
kind of person. In certain fields
he assists in planning develop-
ment work, estimating, research
work and is often called upon to
perform jobs ranging from
simple testing projects to tasks
requiring a high degree of
creative technical talent.

Economically technology in-
creases productivity, sharpens
competition, raises earning
power and lowers prices. Tech-
nology is teaming up with other
sciences to give America more
goods which requires more jobs
in the technical world.

Savannah State College will
now be able to train more com-
petent technicians than ever
before to meet the demands of

our community, nation, and
world.

and 14 respectively.

Another important deadline
that needs your immediate at-
tention is September 30. That is
the last day for submitting the
names of the queens and attend-
ants for all student organiza-
tions. Please observe that this
date is very close to the open-
ing of school and because of this
it would be wise for all organi-
zations to submit the names of
the persons who will represent
them to the office of student
personnel for clearance as soon
as possible.

Although, we have not re-
turned to the days of the pony
express and other such obsolete
ways of doing things, one might
find it necessary to order ma-
terials and fashion items for
queens and other things by mail.
This condition should serve as
a basis for your beginning your
duties very early.

Here again are the dates that
must be remembered:

work with the student council
in promoting the welfare of the

Timely Thoughts

Of the Month

There are two very difficult
things in the world. One is to
make a name for oneself and
the other is to keep it.

The Congo Issue

For the past month, I have
been observing the terror-in-
fested uprisings in Leopoldville,
Stanleyville, and other cities in
the Congo. It seems logical to
think that with their recently
received independence from
Belgium, the Congolese people
would be instilled with a strong
feeling of security and national
unity. But instead, they are a
nation resorting to national dis-
unity, educational incompetence.
and political chaos, since the
proclamation of their independ-
ence by Belgium on June 30.
1960.

To many of the natives of the
Congo, the word freedom is a
permit which gives them the
right to exploit those who were
once in power. They possess no
sense of shame or responsibility.
Some Congolese people think
that their working days are over
and that the maintenance of law
and order is a thing of the past.
They were being led into the
ways of life enjoyed by civilized
people and at the same time
they were being exploited by
their trainers, the Belgian peo-
ple. Some of the native leaders
saw what the white men were
doing, and led revolts against
them. The exploitation of the
Congo by the white man is the
main cause of the unrest which
has terrorized the country since
her emergence as an independ-
ent nation.

The Belgians must be chastized
for giving the Congolese people
full independence when they
were not educationally and
politically prepared to accept the
responsibility of self-govern-
ment. But. they cannot go back
and take over again, because
such action would only tend to
rupture the situation and ignite
a world crisis. Perhaps, the
United Nations can guide the
Congo to eventual unity and
political success. The United
Nations' forces have already
restored law and order in many
of the cities in the Congo and
they have also begun the task
of reorganizing the nation's ad-
ministrative system. Without the
United Nations' assistance the
situation in the Congo would be
desperate.

Solitude

By Charles H. Lee

Ah! Peace and quiet in my little
domain

Let forever tranquillity liere re-
main.

Where with my soul I'll gladly
speak

And give knowledge plenty for
it to seek.

To think of man in all his moods
Of hate and love, cries and woos
And man's insatiable urge for

power.
That makes him often an evil

coward.

THE TIGERS ROAR

NATIONAL
SPORTS

By Charles Tootle
Baseball

About this time of the year,
in our free world, all eyes are
usually turned toward that
favorite past-time sport of base-
ball. Everyone usually follows
the team of his choice and what
his favorite player is producing.

Thus far, the 1960 season has
not been too much of an ex-
ception to previous baseball sea-
sons. Yet. the games have been
close mainly because of the
efforts of some outstanding
players booming bats.

The National League has in-
deed showed the strength of its
many hitters. Let us examine for
a moment Hank Aaron of the
Milwaukee Braves. What's in a
name? To some pitchers such as
Roebuck of Los Angles, Mc-
cormick of San Francisco and
Elston of Chicago, the name
Aaron means a lot. It could
mean the difference between
winning or losing a ball game.

As of July 23. Aaron had a
blistering 20-game hitting streak
as the Braves came within one
and one-half games of the
league's leading Pittsburgh
Pirates.

Aaron also had increased his
runs batted-in by seven. On two
successive days, he homered, one
of them a 450-foot grand
slammer into County Stadium's
center bleachers to help defeat
the St. Louis Cards 3-0,

Yes. what is a name? We all
know that the name is what you
make it and indeed Orestes
'Minnie) Mlnoso has made his
name known throughout the
U. S. and his native land.
Rumors have it that the Chicago
White Sox went into first place
recently in the American League
because of the bat of Minoso.

This Cuban outfielder has kept
the Wliite Sox in the running
throughout the year and re-
cently batted in several key
runs that enabled the White
Sox to roll over the Yankees.

These are but a couple of our
"tan" stars who are forever
showing that we are not the
mferior race that we are clamed
ro be. They are but a few of our
many "tan" stars who excell in
their endeavors as ball players
and Americans,

This issue, we salute tliese
two fine ball players and all the
others of whom this column
could not cite individually. May
they continue to do as well as
they have done.

Preview of Campus Athletics

This year with Homecoming
being the 15th of October, and
somewhat earlier than last year.
the "Fighting Tigers" will have
their work completely cut out
for them when they return to
campus September 1 to start
drills.

The question is whether or not
the 1960 team will be ready to
take on such feat that early
in the season.

Last year, the "Tigers" traveled
to Morris College with return-
ing lettermen: Captain Elijah
McGraw, John Strong, John
Owens, B. C. Carswell. Eddie Bell
and others and settled for a tie.
The "Tigers" this year cannot
overlook the fact that Morris
College was rostering a near
Sophomore team. Neither can
they overlook the fact that Sa-
vannah State will have about
the same team that let Morris
tie them last year, however,
there will be a few additions to
both teams.

At this point it is very diffi-
cult to say what the outcome of
this year's Homecoming game
will be, but why don't all of us
help to make this be the year
that everyone has been looking
for a record of 9 wins and no
losses, by coming out and cheer-
ing your team to victory. Moral
support is a vital factor in any
sport.

FASHIONS

AMONG WOMEN

By Geraldine Y. Lindsey

This fall hats will be fashion
items rather than fashion ac-
cessories and they are going to
all heights to prove it.

This fall's surprise element
with the height in hats is the
new width which gives both
brimmed and brimless varieties
increased proportions and more
flattering outlines. The big hats
will be round on the curve line
with the bomb or bubble shape
leading. Peaks will reach sky-
ward spiral-like.

Isn't it bad that as soon as
we get adjusted to the 1960's we
are pushed back into the 1930's.
For you who have taken your
hemlines up. you can haul 'em
down again. Look forward to
skirts being one to two inches
longer than last year.

Yes. we will be off on a new
cycle which this fall will mean a
lot of return to the old. Besides
skirts being longer, you can look
to the revival of the sleek
straight hair-dos, the hair-
covering hats, the drap-around
coats, and the loosely-fitted
silhouette. The four major
silhouetes will be: the figure
eight, full through the bust and
hips and narrow at the waist;
the bloused look, loosely jacketed
around the midsection and
gathered tightly over the hips;
the diamond, bukly through the
shoulder area and tapered to a
narrow hem; and the fitted
sheath.

Above all, look forward also to
the wrap-around look. Coats
will not only be clutched to-
gether at the front to keep out
the winter breezes, but they also
will have huge, fur- trimmed
collars wrapped high and close
about the neck,

MODERN
ART

By Theodore Smith

In this issue. I have decided
to feature one of Spain's most
prominent artists. He is the
famous Senor Pablo Ruiz Picasso.
He received his artistic training
at the Academy in Barclona and
traveled throughout the world
exhibiting his art.

If you are planning a trip to
Cleveland, Ohio in the immedi-
ate future visit the Museum of
Art and see his painting "La
Vie," a work sentimental in
subject and treatment. Also at
the Art Institute in Chicago, one
can view his "Family of Salti-
muanques." Those of you who
may travel South of the Border
following summer school may
observe Picasso's beautiful
murals on the wall of the Uni-
versity of Mexico. Such beautiful
murals as the "Guermia. " paint-
ed in 1937 for the Spanish
Pavilion at the Paris exposition,
can be seen there.

For a very good look at Senor
Picasso and his contributions to
modern art, read Picasso:"Fitty
Years of His Art." by Alfred H.
Barr. Jr., Museum of Modern
Art 1946.

Next issue we will discuss a
contemporary English writer.
Colin Wilson.

Ghostwritins
Found Ilk'iial

Students who utilize a ghost
writer to prepare research papers
or themes are guilty of plagiar-
ism, Dr. Samuel Mack Wilson,
chairman of Temple University's
Academic Disciphne Committee
said. He also stated that the
committee will spell out more
explicitly the varying offenses
which are considered plagiarism
under the Uniform Code.

"A student who turns in on
his own a paper wi'itten by
someone else will be punished
for plagiarism even though the
works had not been previously
published," Dr. Wilson said. The
Uniform Code contains a section
which enumerates the regula-
tions on plagiarism but does not
illustrate the form which
plagiarism can take, Dr, Wilson
explained.

tributions to Savannah State
College and community.

Dr. Kiah was born, reared,
and partially educated in the
state of Maryland. He received
his A.B, degree from Morgan
State College, and his M.A and
Ed.D. degrees from Columbia
University.

While in college Dr. Kiah was
a very brilliant and outstanding
student. He participated in many
different co-curricular activities.
During the years 1930-31, he
played quarterback on the
liampionship football team.

He was superintendent of
Maryland State College for Boys
for one year; after which he
served three years in the United
States Army and was discharged
with rank of second lieutenant
in 19'13.

Dr. Kiah is affiliated with

cation. He also holds member-
ship in the Mason and Shrine
organizations, Church-wise he is
an active member of Asbury
Methodist Church. These are
just a few of his affiliations.

In 1950, Savannah State Col-
lege added a brilliant scholar to
its family, and that scholar was
Dr. Kiah. At present, he is
Chairman of the Division of
Education, and professor of edu-
cation.

The writer of this column
takes pride in adding this out-
standing personality to the

"However, the current ghost
writing situation has shown a
need for more specific regula-

"The Dean of Men and The
Temple News," he said, "arc to
be commended for bringing to
light the existence of a ghost
writing service available to Uni-
versity students."

Campus Spotlisht

By Yvonne McGlockton

The writer who said "Music
hath charm" must have had in
mind a person who sings like
Juanita Moon, This young lady's
lyric soprano voice has greatly
helped to make her a charming
person.

A native of Savannah, Juanita
is a graduate of the Alfred E,
Beach High School of this city.
At present she is a junior at this
Institution majoring in music
with special emphasis on voice.

Juanita's extra-curricular ac-
tivities include Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority, .The Tiger Yearbook
Staff, the committee on cultural
activities on campus, the
women's ensemble and the
chorus.

During her spare time she en-
joys dancing, swimming, archery,
and tennis. Her ambition is to
become a concert artist and she
has already begun work on this
ambition by recently giving her
own concert.

Among the distinguished stu-
dents at this Institution is one
who does not stand out as a
star athlete, a honor student,
or a band member, however, he
does stand out as a person. The
person I have reference to is
Albert Bry:.nt

Albert has greatly Impressed
many of the students at this In-
stitution by his outgoing per-
sonality and sincere concern for
his fellow men.

Albert is a graduate of Ben-
jamin Franklin High School in
Philadelphia, Pa. Presently, he

A Tribute to the Immortal

Charlie Parker

One of our greatest chapters
in Jazz came to a close on Satur-
day, March 12. 1955 when Charlie
Parker passed away.

Charlie "The Bird" Parker
was born in Kansas City, August
29, 1920, He began his instru-
mental training with the bari-
tone saxophone in his school
band and played with orchestras
of Harlan Leonard and Lawrence
Keyes, In 1942 he joined Jay
McShann with whom he came
to New York, New York is some-
ties called the Jazz City of the
world. It was there Charlie be-
gan to dig his roots in modern
jazz. After he left the McShann
group the word got around that
a new swinging Alto Sax man
was on the scene from Kansas
City. It was then "The Bird"
teamed up with Kenny Clark
and Thelonius Monk at Minton's
and Clark's uptown house. Later
he blew with Earl Hine's Orches-
tra which featured Dizzy
Gillespie. Benny Harris, and
Billy Eckstine. Now Charlie was
gaining greater insight of other
musicians and how they worked.

During the years 1944-ij4
Charlie began to compose his
own tunes such as: Chasing the
Bird, Milestones. Bluebird, Bird
Gets the Worm, Romance With-
out Finance. Marmaduke. Half
Nelson, Sipping At Bells, Red
Cross and many others. Featured
with "The Bird" on later sides
were such great musicians as:
Miles Davis, trumpet, Tommy
Potter, bass, Max Roach, drums,
Bud Powell, piano. Dizzy
Gillespie, trumpet and piano,
John Lewis, piano, Curley Rus-
sell, bass and others. It did not
take long for the Jazz world to
find out about the new giant on
Alto Sax, Parker's improvisions
and interpretations created one
of the greatest transitions in
JAZZ.

Charlie "The Bird" Parker
created and left with us SOUL,
one of the vital and essential
elements of modern and pro-
gressive Jazz.

BUSINESS
DEPARTMENT

By William Pompey
Heyward S. Anderson, Chair-
man of the Division of Business,
related that a probable eight
seniors will receive degrees in
August from the department.
Ten persons received degrees at
the June commencement. Five
were awarded degrees in Busi-
ness Education and five were
awarded degrees in Business
Administration.

There will be an estimated
forty juniors of last term who
are expected to return as seniors
in September, thus there will
probably be an increase in the
June and August 1961 graduat-
ing classes.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Health and Physiial Education Dept.
Presents; Colorful Assend)ly Program

The Savannah State College All-CoIIege Assembly on July 28.
1^60 was presented by the Department of Health. Physical Educa-
tion and Recreation, under the direction of Dr. Raymond W. Hopson,
Chairman and Mrs. Ella W, Fisher. Instructor.
The department used as its The archery contest between

theme: "Using the Body as an
Instrument of Expression." Dual
sports, social and square dances
were employed to carry out the
above theme.

Badminton played by Misses
Margaret Dawson and Essie
Sheffield began the performance.
The game was followed by the
dance, "Honolulu Baby." For this
dance the ladies were attired in
very colorful and authentic
Hawaiian Muu Muus while the
men were dressed in white short
sleeve shirts, white duck pants
and sported a decorative red
handkerchief from their back
pockets.

Between this dance, the
audience enjoyed a lively game
of shuffleboard played by Marlon
Dingle and William Hall. Then
the dance, "Texas Star," was
executed. Here again the young
ladies were colorfully attired.
They had made a quick change
and were wearing various color
crepe paper skirts, white blouses,
white socks, gym shoes and leis.

John Gray and William Hagin.s
fascinated and held the interest
of the audience. The audience
at last got the chance to see the
long-awaited event, the new
dance everyone is talking about.
"The Madison." This dance was
very well done by the group
which consisted of William
Bessent. Gloria Byrd, James
Bowens. Marion Dingle, Joyce
Griffin, Barbara Iglehart.
Lavenia Jenkins. Roland James,
Rosalee James. Phyllis Singfield.
Richard Washington, James
Whatley and John Sweet. The
group would have responded to
the encore if time had permitted.
After watching an exciting
fencing event between Richard
Coger and Albert King, some of
the participants executed the
lovely and graceful waltz. Here
our dancers made a big change.
The young ladies wore semi-
formal dresses and evening shoes
while the men were attired in
dark pants, white coats and
black shoes. Everyone who saw
the program will long remember
it.

84th Baccalaureate
Services at SSC

The Eighty-four Baccalaureate
Services of Savannah State Col-
lege was presented in Meldrim
Auditorium Sunday. August 14.
1960 at 5:00 P.M.

Fifty-nine expected graduates
heard the Baccalaureate sermon
delivered by Rev. Joshua
Reddick, pa.stor of Palen Meth-
odist Church of this city.

Speaking on the subject "Man
Cannot Live by Bread Alone,"
Rev. Reddick informed the
graduates that a person who has
something to offer the world
will find a pattern already cut
out for him. but he cautioned
the graduates that they must
not merely fall into the pattern,
but mvist make a contribution.
It's up to the individual to fit.
cited the Methodist Minister.

Rev. Reddick asked the gradu-
ates several questions. One ques-
tion, "What will you do with the
opportunities that are before
you?" was examined and
thoroughly disected by the Sa-
vannah Minister.

In closing, the Minister
warned the graduates that all
people have limitations, but each
person must learn to accept him-
self for what he is and not for
what others think of him.

"We have three selves," ac-
cording to the Minister, the real
self, the preferred self and the
ideal self.

Music was sponsored by the
Savannah State College Sum-
mer Chorus under the direction
of Dr. C. A. Braithwaite. and the
Women's Glee Club under the
direction of Mrs. Florence Har-
rington.

Savamiah State College Ila* Keeord
Breaking Enrollment For 1960

Ben IngersoU, college registrar, has released figures to show
that the Savannah State College Fall Quarter enrollment has in-
creased 60% over last year. The total college enrollment is the
largest in the history of this institution which was founded in 1890.
The freshman enrollment for tories and other facilities on
the Fall Quarter, 1959, was 253 as campus.

The overcrowded situation is

compared with 412 for this year,
an increase of 60%. During the
1959 Fall Quarter, 637 upper-
classmen returned to the
campus. This year 714 upper-
classmen returned for an in-
crease of 12%. The total college
enrollment of 1,126 for the 1960
Fall Quarter is an increase of
15.16% over the Fall Quarter,
1959, figure of 890.

The increase in the enrollment
has resulted in crowded dormi-

especially noticeable during the
chapel hour at which time a
large portion of the student body
is left without seats in the audi-
torium.

This is a sign of progress, and
the Savannah State College
family is happy to know that it
is growing. However, it is hoped
that in the near future, the col-
lege facilities will be enlarged
to meet the college's growing
needs.

wish to join the group may do
so, providing they have some in-
terest in the general program of
the club.

The primary function of the
Newman Club is to promote
knowledge of the Faith and to
foster Catholic devotion. AH of
us should strive to broaden our
scope of knowledge.- The New-
man Club seeks to do this by
whatever means possible in its
program of speakers, discussions.

up 8 yards on two plays up the
middle and on the third play
Strong went off guard for a gain
of 45 yards to the 3 yard line.

Fourth Quarter

Both teams threatened, only
to have their offense stopped

Then came the game's most
spectacular play. Nelson's toss

picked off by Allen who used
every trick in the book in an
attempt to break away only to
be stopped by the last man, John
Strong. The Tigers took over on
downs. Nelson attempted three
passes, completing one to Mc-
Graw for 30 yards only to have

Presidents Message

Savannah State College is glad to observe Annual Homecoming
each year. The greeting of alumni, former students, and interested
friends is one of the highlights of the academic year. Since it
comes in the Fall, it furnishes inspiration and drive to reach higher
standards and new achievements.

As we greet our alumni, new acquaintances, and friends of long
standing, we are conscious of two vital processes. On the one hand,
there is always something to see; while on the other hand, there
IS something to feel. Each year friends and visitors returning to
the College are able to see a number of additions to and improve-
ments in the physical plant. The College is continuing to upgrade
its physical facilities and to construct new facilities in the light of
present day needs and programs.

Everyone who experiences homecoming understands that there
is something to feel. In most instances it is not possible to touch
it with the body. This group of items is communicated through
the academic atmosphere and tone of the institution. One discovers
this as he moves among the students, faculty, staff, and members
of the college community. This feeling is an index to the develop-
ments which are taking place in the teaching and learning ac-
tivities developed in the institution. The recognition of rising
academic standards provides the other side of the picture which
one sees on the physical side. The historical view of Savannah
State College, which observes its 70th Anniversary this year, in-
dicates that the College has continued to grow in strength and
service to the youth of this State. It is desirable that at some time
during the day of celebration, a moment of thought may be given
to the things seen and felt.

Along with greetings to the Savannah State College alumni,
we extend greetings to our visitors from Morris College. The long
record of fine relationship in college athletics with the faculty and
student body of Morris College heightens our enjoyment of this
occasion. The football teams representing the two colleges will
furnish a contest which contributes toward the high aims and ideals
of each institution. When the shot is fired for the end of the game.
we wish to say that the contest was a display of the finest quality
of sportsmanship.

My Kind of Democracy

By William Hagins
"These are times that try
men's souls." wrote Thomas
Paine in 1776, but the words are
just as applicable today as they
were in 1766. Today, the United
States is one of the leaders in
an ideological struggle. Soviet
Russia and her satellites have
challenged the basic freedom
upon which America was found-
ed and which most of the West-
em nations have come to ac-
cept.

The cold war is affecting in-
ternational relations and is
threatening world peace. In our
country, there is also a war going
on between the white man and
the Negro. The United States

could seize the propaganda

initiative by insisting upon one

thing, that the Negro is given

his rights.
This problem is two-fold. First

of all. racial strife within the

United States would be elimi-
nated, thus making America

truly democratic. And secondly,

the uncommitted nations of the

world would be drawn to the

American camp in this ideologic

struggle for the minds and souls

of men.
Both of these cold wars

Communism versus Democracy

and the White man versus the

Negro have been waging for a

long time. The little people of

the 7/orld are sick and tired of

this jungle-like struggle.

From President of the Student Council

Dear Fellow Students:

Many significant changes that are of world-wide importance
are evident even here on our campus. The trend towards the pursuit
of education has favorably shown itself in our enrollment figures
for the Fall Quarter 1960-61 school year. It is indeed a pleasure
to welcome you and solicit your support throughout the school
year to the program and activities of your student council.

Several matters of importance awaited our return to school.
Among them and of primary importance was homecoming. All
groups and organizations are to be commended for the fine spirit
of cooperation shown toward working to the Homecoming deadline.
Along the same lines, the members of the Student Council are
indeed worthy of praise for the splendid jobs that they have done
and are still doing to further the progress of the task we are
undertaking.

In a few weeks from now you will be hearing directly from your
Council asking for your assistance in an activity sponsored by us.
If you have ever had the desire to be of some help to this organ-
ization this opportunity will surely present itself. We are sincerely
hoping that you will heed this call individually and collectively.

To the alumni and friends of the college who are here visiting
with us for homecoming, on behalf of the student body it gives me
great pleasure to welcome you "home" again. It is our sincere
hope that your stay will be a pleasant one. and the memories will
be lasting ones.

Sincerely yours,

EVA C, BOSEMAN. President

THE EDITOR'S
DESK

This issue of The Tiger's Roar
presents to the Savannah State
College campus a publication
somewhat different from those
produced on the campus last
year.

The Tiger's Roar aims are: to
express student voice and
opinion, print news of our
campus life and world affairs.
compete and excel among other
college publications, announce
important information to the
Savannah State College family.

Publishing a student news-
paper is a job that requires the
cooperation of all student organ-
izations on the campus. News Is
made every minute of the day.
It is the job of the journalist
or reporter of the organization
to capture this news and recreate
It on paper. Deadlines are very
important and should be kept.

The Tiger's Roar is scheduled
to publish ten papers this year.
Why not support your student
newspaper 100 per cent. O.K.?

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:

What has happened to the
SCHOOL SPIRIT at Savannah
State? I feel this is important
because without spirit there can
be but very little motivation of
any kind on campus. We need
to give moral support and cheer
our teams to victory. It is obvious
to see that we. as college stu-
dents, do not attend pep rallies,
cheer our team or other things
of that nature that give our
players a feeling of well being.
I love my college, maybe it's
because I came here some years
ago when the upperclassmen
made the freshman walk around
the campus with his pants on
the wrong side for a week. After
it was over I respected upper-
classmen and participated in
every activity the student body
sponsored.

Why can't we, as students in
the largest Negro state college
in Georgia, get out and push
our teams and act united like
the other colleges?

Mr. Editor, I not only want to
cite the conditions that now
exist, but to plead to those who
may read this letter, to turn
over a new leaf, and exhibit
that vital element. "SCHOOL
SPIRIT."

Yours truly,
Kharn A. Collier

What actually is behind the
Castro regime? Is it on the verge
of ultimate collapse, or is it
destined for further recognition
among the great nations, The
acquisition of some of our fac-
tories and mills by the Cubans
has proven to us that they want
everything except the improve-
ment of relationship.

Where do we go from here?
Are we going to let a brat of a
nephew confiscate properties
worth in the neighborhood of
5800.000,000, while we sit back
and relax on our morals, or are
we going to give him the spank-
ing he so justly deserves.

The roll Castro played during
his short stay i should be brawl)
at the U.N. meeting two weeks
ago shows he needs a course in
diplomacy. He is back in Cuba
now (thank goodness! and still
blasting forth, as usual, about
U.S. policies here, there, and
everywhere.

Mr, Castro my question to
you is where do you go from
here, if anywhere?

Mr. Nikita Khrushchev of the
Soviet Union, now 66. after an-
nouncing that he would lead the
Russian delegates to the United
Nations left the western world
in somewhat of a turmoil. Now
that he has arrived, its con-
cern has been justified.

Not only do we have him to
help deter world peace, but he
brought or asked some of his
bosom buddies to concrete the
idea. Josip Tito, dictator of
Yugoslavia, 68, and independent

orders from Moscow, but is still
a Communist), Mr. Gamal Nasser

Our Electoral System

By Gladys Lambert
As the time approaches for
the presidential election in No-
vember, we do well to take a
critical look at the effectiveness
of our present system for elect-
ing the president, Our Constitu-
tion provides that the president
and vice president shall not be
elected directly by the voters.
but by electors who themselves
are elected by the voters of the
states.

Each state has as many
electors as the total number of
its senators and representatives
in Congress. For the 1960 presi-
dential election the Electoral
College will consist of 537
electors.

There have been occasions
when the Electoral College failed
to elect a president. One such
occasion was the election of 1800
in which the Republican candi-
dates for president and vice
president, Thomas Jefferson and
Aaron Burr respectively, each
received the same number of
electoral votes and each had
the needed majority of electoral
votes.

States with a large number of
electoral votes have an unfair
advantage of power over states
with a small number of votes.
Presidential candidates tend to
concentrate their campaign
efforts on states with a large
number of electoral votes. The

A World of Dreams

By Phillip Hampton
The dream, a product of
dreamers, is a mysterious con-
dition without substance, a
nebulous fantasy of another
world separated from reality by
a sliver of shadow and, with
apologies to Byron : (dreams i
"make us what we were not,"

The profundity and the sundry
of the world which we know
could once have been but a
dream. The fantasy that is
dreamt today may indeed be-
come the real and sincere of
tomorrow , . . and tomorrow's
caprice may yet be a prelude to
entities that could never been
yesterday's dream.

The dream is a catalysis which
provokes men to contrive for
beauty through poetry and song.
to change sorcery to science, to
uncover the unexplored and to
forge the destinies of other men.

Observe a dreamer and dis-
cover if you will, a Columbus, a
Newton, a da Vinci, a Moses, or
a you. Observe a dream and the
future will be in it, a canvas
smeared with paint, a messon or
a propellant to a moon, a plan
for peace, or a new deodorant
Dream and you will capture A
WORLD OF DREAMS,

are rather insignificant to a
candidate compared with the
forty-five of New York,

There have been occasions,
though not many, when electors
have violated their pledge to vote
for their party's candidate. In
the election of 1820 William
Plumer, a New Hampshire
elector, voted for John Quincy
Adams, in spite of the fact that
James Monroe was his party's
presidential candidate. Plumer
explained his action by saying
that he wanted to bring Adams
to the attention of political
leaders. Nothing can be legally
done to an elector who violates
his pledge because the authors
of the Constitution gave electors
the right of independent choice.

Fashions For Women

By Geraldine Lindsey

"A Fur Collar Adds Elegance
To Winter Fashion Ensemble,".

I do not have to stress the im-
portance of fur trim just look
through any fashion magazine
or newspaper, and you will see
suits and coats galore with
fabulous fur collars and prices
to match.

If you have an old fur piece,
too worn in spots to make re-
pairing worthwhile and too good
in large patches to discard, why
not use it to advantage?

Working with fur can be
tricky, but it can be done if you
are only making a trim of some
sort. Here are some hints if you
want to make a collar a job
almost anyone can do.

Make a pattern of the whole
collar out of heavy wrapping
paper, leaving out the seam
allowance. A half collar pattern
to be cut on the fold cannot be
used, because fur cannot be cut
when folded.

Lay the fur out flat, hair side
down, on a board and tack to
board at each corner with a
push pin. Place pattern on fur
and pin through fur and board
with push pin. Trace outline of
pattern on skin. Cut through
skin only, with a sharp razor
blade, being careful not to cut
the hair.

After the collar is cut and
pieced together to fit the
pattern, you must strengthen it
with padding. Sew cotton
wadding or lambs wool lightly
to the skin with tailors' lasting.
Now, holding the skin side to-
ward you, sew twill tape to outer
elges of collar with overhand
stitch; then turn tape over to
skin and sew to padding with
catch-stitch.

If the collar is fur on both
sides, make each side in the
same way, and then slip stitch
together. If the collar is to be
attached to a coat or jacket,
slip stitch fur collar on to the
collar of the finished garment.
Then, with small stitches, sew
along center of collar, catching
the padding in the fur collar.

So remember, it you have an
old fur, or one small spotted
leopard skin, there is no better
way to use it than to make a
luxurious collar.

Men's Fiishions

By Eddie Bryant, Jr.
Why Wear Pants?

Slacks, as we know tliem to-
day, are the result of man's
desire to hide certain unpleasant
features about his legs. Lion
cloths might never have left
fashion if it weren't for bumpy
knees. Silk tights could still be
with us except for their tendency
to accentuate the rear. The early
Romans, for instance, regarded
any trousers as barbarous; then
along came the Roman Emperor
Justinian who was the first man
to wear trousers. They were
silken affairs called "hosa," and
resembled "tights." They clicked,
and man hasn't looked the same
since.

Today's fashions open our eyes
to the new Grape tones. Hues
from dark red to purple Concord
are high fashion colors, that
lend richness to the neutral
colors, particularly gray. Grape,
in a tie or pocket square, in a
sport shirt or sweater, adds
freshness and e'clat to your
wardrobe.

In suits. Grape provides a
subtle flavoring, adds a royal
richness to fine worsteds.

For shoes, Vintage Brown is
the new color a deep rich brown
with a slight undertone of dark
red chianti.

Modem Ai*l

By Theodore Smith

"To walk with kings and not
lose the common touch," could
easily characterize Modern Art's
spotlight artist for this issue.
Here we refer to the young
author of The Outside, Mr. Colin
Wilson.

After the Second World War
many war imputed changes con-
tinued to show progress. Among
these were those library shifts
which marked the entrance of
the "Beat Writers."

Mr. Wilson was born in
Leicestes, England, June 26, 1931,
where he received his education.
He became a laboratory assist-
ant at Gateway School after
completing his education. He
later served in the British Air
Force.

It was in 1954 after a series
of odd jobs, such as that of be-
ing a tax collector, when he
decided that he must write. His
first major work was the The
Outsides. This was the beginning
of a series of successful novels.

Some of his other successful
novels are Religion and The
Rebel, which was created with
great anticipation, and The Age
of Defeat, 1959. which received
an inspiring welcome. For a
thorough unearthing of this

Personality of the
Month Faeuhy

By Mary C, Rosebud
The faculty personality may
be considered one of the most
significant columns in The
Tiger's Roar because it gives the
students an opportunity to know
a little of the personal back-
ground of the faculty. This
month the writer takes great

another interesting personality,

Campus Spotlisht

By Yvonne McGlockton

Toledo Riley

Campus Spotlight, a regular
feature of the Tiger's Roar, pays
tribute to distinguished students
who througli their scholarship,
service, loyality, and attitudes
have merited this tribute.

This being the homecoming
edition, the writer of this column
presents as one of the two per-
sonalities spotlighted, one who
plays an important role in our
homecoming celebration. The
person is Toledo A. Riley, head
majorette in the band.

Toledo hails from Atlanta.
Georgia and is a graduate of
Price High of that city.

In the fall of 1958, she enrolled
at Savannah State and immedi-
ately became head majorette in
the band la distinction seldom
given to a freshman), Her high
stepping and superb twirling
probably merited her this dis-
tinction.

Toledo's extra-curricular ac-
tivities in addition to the band
include the Creative Dance
Group. Camilla Hubert Hall
Dormitory Council (treasurer).
Physical Education Club and
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.

Poised and debonair, she is
the nonchalant type. She never
seems to let the rush and excite-
ment of the day affect Iier in
any manner.

When it comes to favorite
foods she enjoys all fruits. Proof
of this was seen during the
interview at which time she ate
an apple and a banana. Hobby-

Nathan Mario Kight

wise she enjoys sewing,
swimming, and dancing.

Presently she is a junior
majoring In physical education
with the ambition of becoming a
physical therapist.

Another Interesting person-
ality is that of Nathan Mario
Kight. "Courteous, comical, and
cooperative." are three "C's"
personified in Kight. His pleas-
ing personality and warm
friendly smile are among the
many qualities which cause him
to rate high in popularity on the
campus.

Hailing from Folkston, Geor-
gia, Kight is presently a senior,
majoring in biology and minor-
ing in chemistry,

During his college career he
has been affiliated with several
organizations. Among them are
the Pan-Hellenic Council (treas-
urer). Student Council (business
manager). Omega Psi Phi Fra-
ternity (vice basUeus), Alpha
Kappa Mu Tutorial System, and
the College Track Team.

Kight likes all types of sports.
Dancing and swimming also rate
high on his list of favorite past-
times. His favorite dish is steak.
Concerning his philosophy of
life, he says, "Laugh and the
world laughs with you."

After graduation he plans to
devote himself entirely to be-
coming a doctor.

The writer is proud to add
these two promising young per-
sons to this column. May you
always remember that the Spot-
light is on you.

POET'S CORNER

Miss SSC

By Charles H. Lee. Jr.
The budding rose kisses her
cheeks;
Each morning she rises from a
peaceful sleep.
Beauty reigns in stately might.
And Miss S.S.C. is always a
lovely sight.
To be in her presence is such
a rare pleasure;
That friendship with her is a
golden treasure.
To the one that holds this
lovely heart;
Be thankful for the flight of
Cupid's dart.
Her heart is full of warmth
and charm;
The guardian angel protects her
from harm.
Yvonne, surely, you grow fairer
by the hour;
Because God created a very rare
flower.
Dedicated to our Queen. Miss
S.S.C, Yvonne McGlockton,

So please stop pretending ;
Respond to Cupid's shove.

My eyes sparkle when You are
near,

I thrill whenever you pass,
Let's declare we're lovers now.

Lovers that will last.

I guess I've been too forward.
Oh, many a thousand times;

But in the end, I hope to hear.
Those wedding bells chime.

Proposal

By "Gem"
You know I'm yours to have

To adore, caress and love

Footsteps

By Charles Lee
Shuffling along he treads there.
Lost in despair and mortal fear.
A wanderlust of frightful horror.
Dreading each new tomorrow.

Church bells may peal loud and

bold.
His soul remains damp and cold.
He has resigned himself to the

living dead.
And nature his epitaph has read.

Where he is going he doesn't

know.
Life is truly his dreadfvil foe.
And beneath a tree he would

slowly pass.
While nature chants a requiem

mass.

Love." Did they work? So well
that Ovid, the author, was
obliged to write a sequel telling
men how to avoid entangling
alliances!

Other tips from Ovid's first
work: lose to her at gambling,
yield to her smallest whim, be
sure those sitting behind her at
the circus don't thrust their
knees into her back.

2. Act jealous. A man who's
unreasonable within reasonable
limits, of course is one of the
most effective ego-builders a
7/oman can have. Therefore,
grumble a bit when she smiles
(etchingly at another man. If
you're still single and not yet
at the going-steady stage, ask if
she's free for a date in a tone
that implies you think you're
competing with at least two
other guys. Never let her suspect
that you know you're her only
beau even if you know it for a
fact!

3, Know what to say. Suppose

Basketball Drills to Begin

((Continued Irani I'age 3)

Last year the Tigers had a
squad dominated by sophomore
players. The 1960-61 Tigers will
add a few new faces One of
them is Henry Jackson, a gradu-
ate of Crane Technical High
Scliool of Chicago. Illinois. Jack-
son is the brother of Ira Jack-
son. While at Crane. Jackson
averaged 20 points per game and
was the top rebounder on the
team. Henry definitely will be
a great help to the team this
year. The other is Johnny
Mathis, Jr. Mathis prepped at
Peabody High in Eastman, Geor-
gia, where he averaged 25 points
per game in his last year. He
will be the tallest man on the
squad, standing 6 feet, 5 inches.
The squad lost only one mem-
ber of the 1959-60 team and will
have only one senior on the
1960-61 team. Returning from
last year are the entire first
team and four members of the
second team . Returning letter-
men are: Redell Walton, high
scorer for the past two years,
6' l", 195 lbs.; Ira Jackson, the
second leading scorer and num-
ber one rebounder on the team
for the past two years; Stephen
Kelly, the best dribbler on the
squad and the leading ball
handler; Willie Tate, the best-
all-around player on the squad.
He dribbles, passes, and rebounds
well; James Dixon, captain of
the team and number two man
in assists.

Other lettermen are Raymond
Harper, Junior; Alphonso Mc-
Lean, senior; Leon Wright,
sophomore; Elijah McGraw,
junior; Willie Epps. sophomore;

THE TIGER'S
A COLUMN

Student Opinions

By Annette Kennedy

With the beginning of the '60-
61 school year, the students at
Savannah State College are pri-
marily concerned with progress.
Progress of course, being the
most important aspect of any
good institution. This article
shall deal with a cross section
of opinions on what can be done
to make Savannah State College
a more progressive and suitable
place to lead a well-rounded col-
lege life,

William Hagins. junior, Sa-
vannah. Georgia, "I think the
intramural program should be
suited to meet the needs of all
students so that more students
will be able to take an active
part in these affairs."

Jewel Williams, freshman, Sa-
vannah, Georgia. "I feel that
there should be more faculty
assistance in lielping students
arrange their schedules so that
some students will not have such
long breaks between classes such
as from 9:'20 until 2:30."

Ophelia Wilson, freshman. Sa-
vannah. Georgia. "I think more
sports should be provided for
young ladies, as tennis and
archery,"

Donnie Cooper, senior, Metter.
Georgia, "I feel that the condi-
tion of the football field should
be improved so that during
rainy weather it won't be so
difficult getting to and from the
field."

ROAR FORUM
OF OPINION

Ann Moffitt, junior, Metter,
Georgia. 'I think that the school
spirit at Savannah State is lack-
mg in many ways and I feel it
needs tremendous improvement."

Emily Snype, unclassified. Sa-
vannah. Georgia. "I feel that
there should be more social ac-
tivities so that the dormitory
and city students will have a
closer relationship."

Luvenia Harris, senior, Savan-
nah, Georgia, "I think that
something should be done about
the way the courses are offered
so that once a year courses won't
come in conflict with each
other."

Marguerite Tiggs, senior, Sa-
vannah. Georgia. "Activities
sliould be planned so that the
beginning of the year won't be
overcrowded, leaving the spring
quarter without anything to do."

Kharn Collier, senior. Savan-
nah, Georgia, "School spirit
should begin at the gate,"

Bernice Cofer, sophomore. At-
lanta, Georgia, "The privileges
of the dormitory students should
be extended."

Warnell Robinson, senior. Sa-
vannah, Georgia. "I stress a
more dense Instructor-Student
relationship."

Mildred Gissentanner. senior.
Savannah. Georgia. "I think that
if outside personalities such as,
Thurgood Marshall and Lois
Towles was brought to the
campus, it would create school
spirit and a lot of other things
that we need around here. It
would definitely help in the area
of stimulating an interest in
cultural activities."

Foreign Impressions

By Norman B. Elmore

Miss Albertha Boston, As-
sistant Professor. Division of
Business Administration vaca-
tioned eight weeks in Newberry,
Bershire, England, with her
sister, Mrs, Dorothy Wilson, New-
berry is located approximately
60 miles to the south of London.

Among the historic places Miss
Boston visited were Buckingham
Palace; the new and old U, S.
Embassies; the Statue of Roose-
velt; Piccadilly Circus, which is
the Times Square of London ;
Fleet Street, which is the Lon-
don newspaper center; and Saint
Paul's Cathedral.

One day while on a shopping
spree in London, Miss Boston
witnessed the breath - taking
changing of the guards cere-
mony in front of Buckingham
Palace. She also had the pleasure

of sitting in beautiful West-
minster Abbey.

While sightseeing in Edin-
burgh. Scotland, Miss Boston
visited liistoric Edinburgh Castle,
the birthplace of James I of Eng-
land and the seat of his mother,
Mary Queen of Scots, She also
visited Margaret's Chapel which
is also located in Edinburgh
Castle.

Miss Boston reports that she
thoroughly enjoyed her trip to
historic England. She found the
Britons to be very cordial. She
further stated that it was an
enjoyable sight to see elderly
people cycling to and from their
places of employment. Miss
Boston was particularly im-
pressed with the British people's
love for flowers and cattle. She
stated that the quaint little
houses and scenic countryside of
dear old England will always
bring back many entertaining
memories.

Author Calls Castro
Coniniiinisni'^s Sole Cheer

Despite pessimists' cries that
America's world position is
degenerating, in actuality the
free world has far more to cheer
about than the Communists,
asserts an article in the October
Reader's Digest.

Says author Edwin L. Dale.
Jr. : "If I were sitting in the
Kremlin and plotting domina-
tion of the world. I should be
more tempted to write an
alarmist article than I am where
I am now sitting, Fidel Castro
would be nearly the only balm to
my troubled soul,"

In contrast to this single
triumph of communism, Dale
marshals an impressive list of
free-world victories to back up
his contention that "the state of
the world is not really so bad."
Among them:

The government of India has
cooled noticeably toward its
neighbor. Red China. This per-
ceptible shift away from China
took its most tangible form last
month when for the first time
in several years, India declined
to sponsor a bill to admit Red
China into the United Nations.

Burma and Malaya, once hot-
beds of Communist activity, have
wiped out nearly all Communist
revolutionaries.

The emerging nations of
Africa have shown overwhelm-
ingly that given the choice, they

will follow freedom's path rather
than that of totalitarianism.
With the possible exception of
Guinea, not one new African
state has shown a desire to be-
come part of the Communist
bloc.

For these and many other rea-
sons described in this article,

chances of war are remote, and
even less are the chances of fore-
seeable Soviet superiority over

Share a Grin

By James J. DeVoe
Little Evelyn had been given
a ring as a birthday present,
but. much to her disappoint-
ment, not one of the guests at
dinner noticed it. Finally, un-
able to withstand their obtuse-
ness or indifference, she ex-
claimed:

"Oh, dear, I'm so warm in my
new ring!"

A beggar, whose face had been
a familiar one in the streets for
several years, applied one day
to one of his frequent benefac-
tors for employment.

"So you're going to work, eh?"
said the person applied to.
"Yes: I'm tired of begging."
"Why? Doesn't it pay?"
"No. sir. The milk of human
kindness is so watered these
days it won't declare any
dividends."

Presented At SSC Nov. 22

Opera A La Carte was the fare served up by an enterprising
young group of talented players under the banner of the National
Opera Company, formerly Grass Roots Opera. For twelve years
the Company has brought entertainment to varied sponsors in-
cluding schools, college lyceum courses, civic groups, and concert
associations. The company per-

Indiana, Tennessee, North Caro-
lina Ohio. Missouri, New York,
Montana and Pennsylvania.
Thiee of the singers have just
1 eturned from studying and

other European cities. Practically
ill of the young singers have
college degrees or the equivalent
f 1 om music schools and most
of them have enjoyed consider-
ible experience in opera as well
as concert, oratorio and tele-
vision.

The National Opera Company

voung professional singers de-
filing employment and experi-
ence Each season auditions are
held in New York and Raleigh
and only the most outstanding
voices are chosen. Acting ability
and appearance as well as voice
and musicianship are strongly

audience of opera lovers is being
formed. The average man is dis-
covering that this form of enter-
tainment, when sung in English,
can be enjoyable.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

November 15, 1960

Presideufs Message

During the past decade, colleges in this section of the country
have become increasingly aware of the effectiveness of their edu-
cational program. This tendency has emphasized the need of in-
struments to determine the preparedness of individuals to partici-
pate in programs leading to increased opportunities and privileges.
The large increase in scholarship programs and financial aid
to students attending college has made it necessary to develop
objective methods for selecting applicants. The tendency to use
objective methods for selection has been employed in industry and
government for many years. The extension of the selective process
may be expected to spread to the majority of programs requiring
a college education as a basis for consideration. In our own state,
all high school graduates expecting to enter any of the under-
graduate units of the University System of Georgia are required
to submit, prior to admission as a part of their requirements the
scores on the College Entrance Examination Board's Scholastic
Aptitude Test. This program which has been followed for the past
three years will become a standard procedure.

jthe temporary measures provided during the first years of the
program will be discontinued. In the past, some of the colleges
have been permitted to administer the examinations after fresh-
men had arrived on the college campus. Beginning in the Fall of
1961. freshmen students will be admitted only if they have already
taken the College Board examinations. It is to be expected that
the purpose and objective for such examinations will be utilized
to provide better educational opportunities for students who enter
college.

\3^he fear which many students have for examination is prob-
ably due to a lack of familiarity with the tests and the function
which they serve. Increased opportunity to take tests and to
understand how they are used will remove much of the fear and
dread. When students realize that examinations are used almost
as much outside of college as they are during the college career,
they will understand that these instruments are becoming increas-
ingly useful in all aspects of our economy. Students who are un-
able to work to their best advantage on examinations and tests
will discover that the opportunity for employment in industry, the
professions including teaching, and government services will be
limited^-

,5/ery test should be considered an opportunity for the student
to learn something about his thoroughness in the field, and his
ability to take the test in a manner that is most advantageous to
him. Many of the tests taken by students in college are returned
to them after they have been scored or corrected. The serious
student studies these tests when they are returned in order that
he may discover why he was successful or unsuccessful on various
items. This type of reaction to test materials can be expected to
enhance one's ability to perform well on the examination. While
the techniques for taking examinations are necessary for effective
performances, it must be emphasized that they are not a substitute
for thoroughness in study and learning.

In the decade of the '60s. examinations may be expected to
become standard procedure for scholarships, loans, admission to
professions, local, state, and federal govermnent positions, and a
great group of semi-professional occupations. Every college stu-
dent is acquainted with the fact that for a number of years such
examinations have been required for applicants to schools of
medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy, nursing, engineering, for teach-
ing certificates, graduate school work, and many government
positions. Examinations are a part of the age in which we live,
and those reluctant to prepare in terms of them will be limited
in their choices.

Tigei'^s Roar Exchange
Near the 100 Mark

By Eiuma Sue McCrory
The Tiger's Roar is nearing
the hundred mark for the ex-
changing of newspapers with
other colleges and xmiversities.
Of course, this is by no means
the "finishing mark" for the
staff. Looking forward to 1961,
we are hoping to communicate
even more with fellow schools.
Truly, this is another fact which
contributes to the statement,
"The world is getting smaller
and smaller." Despite the mile-
age, we find no obstacle in

knowing about activities at
Tuskegee, Xavier, Indiana U.
Prairie View, and other schools.

Could we possibly afford not
to correspond with the world
congested with news ! news !
news! It is somewhat interest-
ing to note that the editor
stresses variety in the Tiger's
Roar which seems to be moti-
vated by the exchange program.

Would it not be "something
else" if each college and univer-
sity had a copy of your ideas and
articles? By all means, and we
have been thinking about it.
Meanwhile, our "hats off" to all
corresponding editors.

Savannah State Students
Choose Kennedy

On October 28. Gladys Lam-
bert, senior, took a political poll
on the attitudes of 340 students
toward the 1960 Presidential
Election.

This study was made in the
form of a questionnaire. Those
questioned were not required to
sign the form.

Out of the 340 students, only
27 of the students were Catholic:
258 were Protestant; and 55 were
members of other religious sects.

Controversial questions asked
were;

1 . Would you vote for a
Catholic for President? (66%
yes), (6% no) (28% unde-
cided)

2. Which candidate do you
favor for the presidency? (Ken-
nedy 51%) (Nixon 39%) (10%
undecided)

3. Which candidate's back-
ground makes him more quali-
fied for the presidency? (Nixon
86 % ) I Kennedy 34 % )

4. Do you believe Lyndon
Johnson will carry the South for
the Democratic Party in No-
vember? (37% yes) (19% no)
(447"- undecided)

5. Which candidate's domestic
policy meet^ your approval?
(Kennedy 44% ) (Nixon 32%. )
(n e i t h e r 4% ) (undecided
20%)

6. Which candidate's foreign
policy meets your approval?
I Nixon 40% ) 'Kennedy- 32% )
(undecided 257c ) (n e i th e r

The results of this poll show a
cross section of student votes
that were cost in the 1960 presi-
dential election for the respec-
tive parties and their candidates.

Importance of the
College Newspaper

By James C, Matthews

The college newspaper plays
an important role in college life.
You may not know it, but col-
leges are represented to the out-
side world by student publica-
tions. The college newspaper
does not only represent the col-
lege in the outside world, but it
alsoserves as an outlet for in-
forming students of the activities
that have taken place on and off
campus which concern them.

The college newspaper is an
instrument of mass communica-
tion on campus. It is a publica-
tion by which the students may
speak or voice their conceptions
through editorials, feature
stories, poems, etc. This also
raises the question of freedom
of the student pubhcation versus
control. The college newspaper
represents the students and
gives them a chance to debate
and test experimental thoughts,
emotions, and beliefs. A free
college newspaper gives self-
expression of the outstanding
moments on campus. It has
many motives of expression and
is as multiform as human
emotion.

The college newspaper does not
only have a local campus value,
but a professional value also.
For many colleges are judged by
their student publications. So
from these conceptions, it can be
concluded that a college news-
paper holds the major spotlight
of student expression in college
life.

Election Over What Now?

By James DeVoe

There are many dissatisfied individuals following a presidential
election. Many of the dissatisfied individuals have such reactions
and are shocked when they find out after the election that the
expected support for their candidate really did not exist.

The defeated candidates along with their aides and many sup-
porters are hurt and feel positive that they have been rendered a
grave injustice. It is truly amazing to see. after presidential elec-
tions, the host of people who are virtually ignorant of the fact
that justice is the only thing that can come to hght after an
election. When most candidates lose an election many of them
pacify themselves by blaming their inability to win on the under-
hand procedures of those who conducted the elections. Excuses
are petty; it takes a good man to accept defeat and look forward
to victory in future elections.

One must admit that it is not easy to accept defeat and that
the individuals who can master defeat and take it in their stride
are very few. Because of the usual after-election hostilities, elec-
tion officials are amazed when an election is held and there are
no accusations made.

One would imagine that it is an individual's perogative to
suspect everyone when the most revered and sought after position
is at stake. When one can never find it in himself to trust another
person or group of persons, he is not to be trusted. When one
wishes to have faith in himself, he must first of all have faith
in others.

The vast majority of us fail to recognize the fact that the
masses do not select leaders. Leaders, such as the President of
the U. S.. for the most part, emerge into eminence and the populaces
merely put them in office by nomiating them and casting their
votes.

The election is over, and Victory has once more been declared
by tiie winning party in conjunction with the members of the
party which he represents. The winners are jubilant, and the
losers are sad. If there were mistakes made they cannot be erased
until the next election year rolls around or if the electee cannot
live up to the high standards of his office he may be impeached.
The only sane solution for the unhappy minority is to accept the
obvious fact that the election is over and admit that ballots, not
complaints, win elections.

JSotes From

THE EDITOR'S DESK

Technical Science Building Aids in Building Floats

Many favorable comments were made concerning Homecoming.
One was, this year's Homecoming parade showed tremendous im-
provement over previous years. Much of this improvement was due
to the fact that the new technical science building housed the
building of the floats. Last year, the majority of the decorating
was done outdoors. Damp weather and dim lighting slowed down
the production of the builders and decorators. This year, approxi-
mately 15 cars and floats were being constructed at the same time
with the aid of modern machinery in the new tech building.
Students also had ample time to begin preparing materials, thus
better floats and cars were produced.

The Tiger's Roar Staff congratulates all the student organiza-
tions who helped make the Annual Homecoming celebration one that
will be long remembered here at SSC,

Pan-Hellenic Coffee Lift Good Gesture

The coffee and doughnut lift sponsored by the Greek-letter
fraternities and sororities October 14, was indeed a good gesture.

This affair was spearheaded by the president of the Pan
Hellentic Council, Eddie Bryant, Each person working on a car or
float was given a doughnut and a cup of coffee. The coffee not
only served as a lift but a bridge builder to unity among the Greek-
letter organizations.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:

Much is being said around the
campus about the development
of the individual as a whole:
physically, mentally, emotion-
ally, and socially. I must admit
that much is being done to pro-
mote the first three of these
aspects of the individual but
little is being done to promote
the fourth aspect (the social
aspect).

I wonder if this thought has
occurred to those in authority
who are able to establish a better
social program for the students
who live on campus.

Our recreational center is open
six nights a week for only a
few hours (it closes at 8 p,m.).
In addition to being open a small
length of time, it does not pro-
vide adequate entertainment.
No planned activities are set up
and the recreation consists of
the regular routine throughout
the year. At the center, week
after week we play cards, dance
and watch television daily except
on Sundays when the center is
closed and the students are left
entirely out-of-doors socially,

I feel that we need more
wholesome recreational and
social activities to correct the
present lag in the social aspect
of our campus life, and it is my

sincere hope that soon we will
have these activities.

Sincerely,
Julia E. Cheely

TO THOSE WHO MADE IT
POSSIBLE:

Echoes of praise have been
coming our way through the
President's Office, various com-
mittees, and other agencies ex-
pressing pleasure at the very fine
spirit exhibited by the staff,
students, alumni, and adminis-
tration toward those who visited
us for the 1960 Homecoming
activities.

Since the activities brought so
much praise and enjoyment, the
committee does not want to take
all the credit, but would like to
share it with you and others who
made it possible for us to do the
job well.

The parade, football game,
half-time activities, dance, and
the services rendered, all added
to the enjoyment of the public
and indicated a fine spirit of co-
operation, teamwork, and high
degree of quality and taste.

We express our appreciation
and request your cooperation in
the future.

Sincerely yours,
The Homecoming Committee

The lost was the fourth for
the Tigers against one win and

The Tigers' defense, sparked
by end Pred Carter, tackle Eddie
Bell and line-backer Robert
Leonard, turned back several
drives in the quarter, but fell
apart in the fourth. Craig hit
paydirt three times in the final
ten minutes of the game, with a
55-yard punt return in the re-
maining two minutes capping
the scoring. The other runs were
for 10 and 12 yards.

The Savannah State College basketball team will journey to

The Tigers are rated'very high
and are given a good chance to
win the tournament. Experience
will not be lacking on the team.

The entire first team will be
probable starters again this year.
All of the players on the team
have improved and will see ac-
tion this season. The team began
training November 1, and will
be in top condition for the GIT.

Redell Walton. Ira Jackson,
Willie Tate. Stephen Kelly, and
Captain James Dixon, are the
starting five from last season
who SSC's chances will be riding
on in the GIT.

This is the third year the SSC
five have played together. Their
only problem seems to be in
fmding a top reserve to fill the
shoes of Robert Robbins who
graduated last season. They may
have their problem solved if
Paul Thompson or Johnny
Mathis can find themselves on
the court. A lot will be expected
from Alphonso McLean, the only
senior on the team.

Since becoming a Tiger in 1057
John has been a standout in the
halfback slot. He's a full-fledged
threat to go the distance on any
offensive play, whether he is
flanked out for a pass or in tight
for a trip into or around the line.

^^

Elijah has been Captain of the
Tigers for the past three years
and is known throughout the
SEAC as one of its finest win^?-
men. He's expected to continue
to chop down rivals with devas-
tating blocks and snare vital
passes. McGraw, a former Serv-
iceman, was a member of the
1959 Tiger basketball squad.

The Tiger's Roar Forum: A Column of Opinion

By Annette Kennedy

As a result of this article of student opinions and other articles
whicli appeared in the last issue of the Tiger's Roar, some pertinent
questions have been raised concerning the present status of the
'school spirit."

This issue's article shall be devoted to student opinions con-
cerning the school spirit at Savannah State College.

To the question, "Do you feel that the school spirit at SSC is
deficient in any respect so as to become an area of basic concern?"
the following replies were given.

Virginia Mercer senior, Metter "Yes. it is my opinion that
there is something wrong with our school spirit. Take for example
the present year book situation. Juniors were requested to take pic-
tures at a designated date and only a minority have done so. To me
this indicated a lack of school spirit and I feel we all need to
closely analyze ourselves for this deficiency."

Delores Clarke sophomore. Savannah "Yes. I do think tVtat
it should become an area of basic concern. The students do not
take a sincere interest and pride in the activities on campus or
their studies."

Willie Williams senior. Savannah "Yes, there is definitely a
deficiency. What little display of school spirit that is shown
IS immediately forgotten, such as the pep rallies in the gym which
are attended by a few."

Bernice Pinkney Junior. Savannah "Yes, it has reached a
low enough ebb to become of basic concern. It is especially evident
in the lack of pride of the campus and activities, especially sports-
wise."

Euby Mitchell advanced .junior, Beaufort. S. C "Yes, it Vs
very deficient. The students do not have enough interest in the
mtellectual phase of college life."

Carolyn Vinson junior. Savannah "I feel that if the students
would only support the functions of the school wholeheartedly, the
deficiency which is so very evident would soon be eliminated.

Nathan Mario Kight senior "This is not something that has
just developed. This deficiency has been in existence for a period
of time. Frankly, I think more to remedy this condition should
be initiated immediately."

Phylis Singfield senior, Augusta "Of course it should beixii
basic concern. What the students lack is a get up and go attitude."

Juanita Quinn junior. Savannah "It should have been an
area of basic concern long ago. I for one. shall certainly check
myself for any negligence on my part, and I hope other students
will do likewise."

POETS CORNER

A Lesson W ell-Learned

By "Gem"
Of all the times to unloved,
I had to pick this year,
I know if my heart had but one

choice,
To me it wouldn't be near-
Some folks think they're very

smart;
They haven't a worldly care,
But little do they realize
That they, too, must pay a fare.

My fare, I hope, is now paid.
My share of woe. I'v had.
I've now realized that breaking

hearts
Is a dangerous fad.

Circumstance

By Charles H, Lee

Tonight as the wind beats
against my window pane,

And nature plays havoc with her
storage of rain.

I wonder why I am such a
pompious fool.

To be used as some casual im-
plement or tool.

Yet I am happy in such a
primeval state,

I am resigned to my mortal fate.

Caught in the midst of chance
I am.

Willing to let love die like a
sacrified lamb.

By Eddie W, Bryant, Jr.
Did you ever stop to wonder
About the things you see.
Tlie things that God made for
man
And the things he made them
to be.

He made a man from dirt and
clay
Gave him a soul so he could
pray
Made him legs to guide his way
And gave him vision from day
to day

The wonders of this world, and
all you see,
God made them for you, and
made them for me.

The Heart

By ''Gem"
The heart Is but a tiny organ.
Too much it cannot bear;
It, too, must be fondled:
It mustn't ever know fear.

If fear should but ever appear,
The heart will never be the same,
For a heart once made wild.
Can never again be tame.

What Is Probation?

By Verdelle Lambert

During the last fourteen days
in November, the pledgees of the
various Greek letter organiza-
tions at Savannah State College
will go through the final phase
of their pledging probation. The
initiation probation of each
sorority and fraternity, however,
does not exceed seven days.

All of the Greek letter organ-
izations on our campus have
open as well as closed probation.
When the members of a sorority
or fraternity meet privately
with their probates (during the
seven days period) this is known
as "closed probation." When the
probates demonstrate before the
public, this is known as "open
probation."

Interestingly enough, this
period, on some campuses, is
referred to as "hell week." No
such term has been designated
to this week at Savannah State
College; essentially though, it is
a "fun week." for the spectators
as well as the probates.

The following information has
been compiled in order to
familiarize the student body to
the general probation customs
and procedures of the various
Greek letter organizations.
jProbates of Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority are called barbarians.
Their colors are red and white.
They perform the "duck walk."
The sorority has five pledges,
^^robates of Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity are called dogs. They
wear a dog collar and carry a
shield and a sword. They are
known as the "marching dogs."
The fraternity has twelve
pledgees.

[probates of Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority are called barbarians.
Their colors are blue and white.
They perform the "Z step." The
sorority has nine pledgees.

tPf-obates of Kappa Alpha Psi
Fraternity are called dogs. They
perform the "Kappa March."
The fraternity has four pledgees.

Probates of Alpha Kappa
Sorority are called worms. Their
colors are pink and green and
their walk is called "Worming."
The sorority has seven pledgees.
iJ*fobates of Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity are called dogs. They
carry black and gold bricks and
seven books to represent the
seven founders of tlie fraternity.
They march to the "Alpha
Cadence." The fraternity has
thirteen pledgees.
^Probates of Sigma Gamma
Rho Sorority are called bar-
barians. Their colors are royal
blue and gold and they carry
umbrellas. The sorority has three
pledgees.
;^r-obates of Phi Beta Sigma
Fraternity are called dogs. The
fraternity has no pledgees.

Men'^s Fashions

By Eddie W. Bryant, Jr.
Winter Is Here

Winter time is here, so let's
bring out the heavy ones. With
our new strong colors this sea-
son, a purple tweed carcoat with
leather pocket flaps would be
ideal to wear. Or if you prefer
the tall slim look, try the new
topcoat with the continental
silhouette ... a lower collar,
tapered sleeves, and a short
length.

For those who prefer knitwear,
knitting machines have learned
many tricks. Now with your
knitted Mort Sahl sweater,
striped in Chianti and Concord,
you can carry along a knitted
jacket for a quick change or
even the knitted topcoat with
that slim look. An inner linning
of man-made pile adds much to
the comfort, little to the pound-
age.

For those who prefer a wool
topper, the softness of a woolen
pullover sweater, gold, olive or
gray, would swing together with
your gray sUm tight slacks.

A knitted sports coat, or
knitted red blazer, would be
swinging for dates or for any
dressier sports occasion.

ALPHAS FLOAT WINS FIRST PLACE: Miss Annette Kennedy,

Campus Spotlight

By Yvonne McGlockton

Juanita Quinn, Junior,
social science major

David Bodlson, Senior,
business administration major

Campus Spolli(:lu, a regular Irulurc oj The Ticeh's Roar, pays
tribute to dtstirif^aished students who through their scholarship,
service, loyally and altitudes have merited this tribute.

In this edition, the Spotlight salutes one junior and one senior,
Juanita Quinn and David Bodison, for their noteworthy contri-
butions to campus life here at Savannah State College.

Juanita, a native of Savannah is a junior majoring in social
science and maintains above a "B" average cumulatively.

"Juanie" as she is called by many of her associates, is affiliated
with several campus organizations. Among these are: Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority i assistant dean of pledges i; the Tiger Yearbook
staff, the college playhouse and the Social Science Club. Recently,
she was one of the 16 students on this campus elected to "Who's
Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities for
1960-61." Her ambition is to become a juvenile delinquent case
worker after she does graduate work in the field of Sociology.

Hobby-wise, she enjoys sewing, cooking, reading and listening
to music. Juanita states her philosophy in life thus: "confidence
in myself, faith in mankind and God, for the perpetuation of a
better society."

Bodison, also a native of Savannah, is a senior majoring in
business administraton. He states that receiving a scholarship
from Omega Psi Phi Fraternity greatly influenced him to come
to college.

Presently, his campus affiliations includes the Enterpriser
(editor-in-chief). Business Club, Tiger's Roar staff (typist) and
Business Manager of the senior class.

David is the type of individual who does not stand out because
of honors, achievements, etc., instead, he stands out because of
his willingness to work, cooperative attitude, and ability to get
along with his fellowman.

His leisure time is spent fishing, hunting, and reading. Chinese
chop suey, and Mexican hot tamali are his favorite foods. His
ambition is to become a general accountant. Bodison's philosophy
is a simple one "anything worth having is worth working for."

The writer of this column is proud to add these two personalities
to the Spotlight roster. May you continue to be the outstanding
persons that your schoolmates and teachers have found you to be.

humanities or social studies. Ap-
plicants must have a B or better
average and are urged to con-
sider college teaching as a career.
There is no mandate that the
student must engage in college
teaching upon completion of his
graduate study, but it is hoped
that he would consider the pros-
pect of doing so. Thus, the
foundation seeks to interest the
most capable undergraduates in

humanities or social science.

Since American institutions of
higher learning, like the public
schools, will need many more
capable instructors and pro-
fessors, the Foundation desires
to encourage young Americans
to enter the fields of the
humanities and social science,
especially since there are already
adequate fellowships, grants and
grants-in-aid for study and work
in the sciences.

offices of Alpha Kappa Mu Na-
tional Honorary Society's Region
V at a one-day meeting held at
Port Valley State College on
November 4.

Region V is composed of ten
chapters representing colleges in
Georgia and South Carolina.
Seven of the chapters were
represented at the meeting. They
were Savannah State, Fort
Valley, Albany State, Benedict.
Paine. Clark, and Morris Brown.

The next regional meeting of
the honor society will be held at

Savannah State College on the
first Friday in December, 1961.

Others attending the meeting

vember presidential election.

Library Science Courses
Aid Georjjia School Libraries

The inauguration of the Library Science courses at Savannah
State College during the 1960 summer school session is a shot-in-
the-arm for school libraries of Georgia and the nation, because of
the serious shortage of trained school library personnel. The pro-

gram is designed to provide four
basic courses amounting to
twenty quarter hours as required
by the State Department of Edu-
cation. The four courses will
provide the future teacher-
librarian with knowledge of the
important day-to-day operations
and concerns of the school
library, the . fundamentals of
cataloging and classification,
and the importance of book
selection and reference service.
Library Science 301, School
Library Administration and
Organization, and Library
Science 302, Cataloging and
Classification, are junior level
courses: Library Science 401,
School Library Materials, and
Library Science 402, Basic Refer-
ence Sources, will be offered as
senior level courses. Each course
is so designed that it will be
independent of the other and
will not require a prerequisite.
All qualified juniors and seniors
in elementary education, sec-

ondary education and non-
teaching areas are eligible to
take the courses as electives.
While the program is primarily
an undergraduate pre-profes-
sional program to meet certifi-
cation requirements for teacher-
librarians, these courses will
provide a foundation for future
graduate study in Library
science.

The State Department of Edu-
cation feels so strongly about
the need to strengthen school
library service in Georgia, that
in a recent letter to the College
regarding teacher education, a
special reference was made to
the recently inaugurated library
science program and a sug-
gestion was made that the pro-
gram should be publicized, and
brought to the attention of Sa-
vannah State College students.

Library Science 301, School
Library Administration, is of-
fered during the Fall quarter.

Large Audience

On Sunday evening. December 11 at 6 p.m. the Department of
Fine Arts presented the Annual Christmas Concert in Meldrim
Auditorium here at Savannah State College. The public was invited
to attend. The Choral Society's renditions held the audience
spellbound.

This year the presentation was
devoted to excerpts from George
F. Handel's oratorio, "The
Messiah," and featured approxi-
mately 110 voices. They repre-
sented the combined Choral So-
ciety [.College Choir and Con-
cert Choir), the Men's Glee Club,
faculty members, alumni, and
community leaders in various
fields. James Thompson, Jr., a
member of the Department of
Fine Arts' Faculty, was at the
organ. The student accompanist
was Rose Marie Overstreet, a
.lophomore from Sylvania and a
major in Music.

Soloists were as follows:
Juanita Moon, soprano, a junior
from Savannah, and a voice
major; Mildred Ellison, con-

tralto, an alumna and public
school teacher in the local
system: James Fisher, tenor and
local government worker; James
Weldon Johnson, tenor, a fresh-
man from Sylvania, and a major
in voice; and Launey Roberts.
Jr., bass, an alumnus and local
school teacher. Coleridge A.
Braithwaite. chairman of the
Department of Fine Arts, was
conductor.

The Choral Society's perform-
ance is one that will never be
forgotten. The solos and arias,
as well as the choruses, were
very skillfully delivered. Con-
gratulations to Dr. Braithwaite,
his staff, and the members of
the Choral Society for their very
laudable performances.

30 Honored at
(Convocation

On November 17, thirty stu-
dents were honored at our
annual Honors Day Convocation
liere at the college tor main-
1 aining an average of "B" or
higher during three quarters of
the school year 1959-60. Dean T.
C. Meyers presided and centered
his address on the theme
"Honors for the Present Crisis."

In his address Dean Meyers
stated that radical changes are
taking place in all areas of
human life. Man today has won
a larger measure of freedom and
opportunity, but, in large, op-
portunity of the masses is largely
conceited. Once a peak has been
attained, the masses tend to
lapse back into a state of com-
placency.

The speaker continued his
address by saying that today,
the world is full of opportunities.
We need to develop attitudes and
skills to equip ourselves for the
changes in social and economic
life. Each person has a need to
develop his individual talent.
Everyone does not have the same
ability. Success lies in strength
of character and in the ability
to perform various tasks.

After his address, Dean Meyers
presented the following honor
students to the faculty and stu-
dent body: Eva Boseman,
Dorothy Brown, Ernest Brunson.
Bobby Burgess, Retha L. Butler,
Dorothye Carter, Richard Coger,

A Portrait of the Division of Technical
Sciences . . . Expanded Program at SSC

The great lack of manpower on all industrial fronts create new
dimensions of training power. These new dimensions will require
new dimensions of courage, flexibility, enthusiasm, initiative, imagi-
nation, and leadership.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

December 15, 1960

The division of technical
sciences has as a general ob-
jective; To provide for its stu-
dents experiences that will aid
them in earning a living in an
occupation in which success is
dependent largely upon tech-
nical information and under-
standing of the laws of science
and technology as applied to
modern design, products, distri-
bution, and service. To attain
this objective and to fulfill more
specific ones for the various
areas, the following curricula are
offered within the division:
Automotive technology, building
construction technology, elec-
tronics and electrical technology
Home economics, industrial arts
education, and industrial edu-
cation are also included in this
division's program at Savannah
State College.

While the expanded program
in technology is really in its in-
fancy, it should be noted that
Savannah State College has, for
a long time, offered training in
industrial and industrial arts
education, and also home eco-
nomics,

What implication does this ex-
pansion have for the College, for
the students, and for society?
First of all, it means that Sa-
vannah State College has made
another step toward implement-
ing her basic philosophy. . . .
She has recognized the national
need for tapping America's most
valuable resource, thereby con-
tributing to technological de-
velopments of this nation. For
the students future in tech-
nology must be rewarding if
ability, training, and apphcation
are comparable to the demands
of today's social order. It is a
foregone conclusion that the de-
mand has long surpassed the
supply of technicians; and with
the rapid advancements of tech-
nology in present day society,
the gap is becoming increasingly
wider. A portrait of America's
changing industrial pattern in-
dicates that technicians are
utilized in twenty-six per cent
of our workers which are
twenty-nine per cent.

A rewarding future lies ahead
for the qualified technician
which Savannah State College is
trying to develop. The cry of the
lack of technicians in our in-
dustrial society can be heard far
and wide. Industrial research in-
dicates that this great manpower
shortage is not due so much in
regards to quantity, but, rather
quality, the number is important,
but this problem muat be ap-

proached carefully, observing
quality in the same perspective
with quality. Recognizing this,
the staff of tlie division of tech-
nical sciences and tlie College
as a whole are trying to develop
a program that will be com-
mensurate with standards on a
national level. With this ap-
proach, and with a fair degree
of success, society will benefit
greatly from the program of-
fered here at the College.

What is a Technician? A tech-
nician is a worker on a level be-
tween the skilled tradesman and
the professional engineer. His
technical knowledge permits him
to perform many of the duties
formerly assigned to the gradu-
ate engineer. Technicians design
the mechanism, compute the
cost, write the specifications,
organize the production, and test
the finished product.

The technology program of-
fered at Savannah State College
leads to a batchelor of science
degree in the following areas of
specialization: Automotive tech-
nology, where job opportunities
are available in more specific
areas including general auto
repairs, auto body rebuilding,
and auto machine shop; build-
ing construction technology,
which includes masonry, plumb-
ing, surveying and estimating.
mechanical and architectural
drafting; electronics and elec-
trical technology which includes
electric repairs and installation,
communication system repairs,
radio and television repairs and
installation. These are but some
of the jobs that persons might
be qualified to fulfill as a result
of having successfully completed
the prescribed course of study
pertinent to the job classifica-
tion. Training in small business
operation and procedures are
included in all of the technical
areas.

Home economics, an old area
of concentration at Savannah
State College, but recently a part
of the Division's expanded pro-
gram, provides persons with ex-
periences that may qualify them
to fill numerous jobs in industry.
A few industries utilizing home
economics graduates are textile
and clothing, food and food serv-
ing, food processing, and home
furnishings.

Education:

A Necessity in a

Democracy

By Lorenzo McNeal

One of our most important
human inheritances in a democ-
racy is the citizen's right to an
education. Often it is acknowl-
edged and admitted that democ-
racy is not an easy form of
government. It is difficult to
work properly, for it depends
upon the character and intelli-
gence of its citizens. It takes
character to be honest about our
earnings when we make out our
income tax returns. It also re-
quires intelligence to make true
and accurate reports. Unless
people are basically intelligent
as the result of a reasonable
education, it is impossible for
them to make their contribu-
tions to democracy wisely and
advantageously. Every citizen
has the right to receive the kind
of education and moral discipline
which will enable him to develop
into a reliable and trustworthy
citizen.

"Because education is of vital
importance in a democracy." one
tends to ask this question: 'How
important are our public schools
in a democracy?' They seek to
afford opportunities from which
one can learn democracy by
living it. They stress character,
intelligence, and integrity. These
are three necessities which help
the citizen to take an active part
in a democratic way of life.

Democracy is endangered
without the integrity and con-
cern for the common good that
Christ makes possible in the
human heart. The word "in-
tegrity" is important. It means
honesty, purity, and uprightness.
All of these qualities are in-
herent in a sound education.
Democracy needs informed
citizens if tlie government of the
people, for the people, and by
the people is to remain as a
beacon light, directing all peo-
ple to a most beneficial and
harmonious way of living to-
gether cooperatively as God
intended.

Politics and World News

By James Devoe

Clark Gable, handsome 59-year-oId king of the movies, died
peacefully of a heart attack at the Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital,
Wednesday night, November 16. It is indeed pathetic to know that
he died four months prior to the birth of his first child.

His fifth wife. Kay, rushed to his bedside but arrived moments
too late. Mrs. Gable, who also suffers from a heart condition, was
placed under the care of a physician. The movie world will miss
a great actor, who was a man and a gentleman.

An article written by the writer recently concerning the con-
ditions prevailing in Cuba, stated that the only solution (at that
time) was recognition of her status. Since then, however, con-
ditions have worsened to the extent that President Eisenhower had
to rush U. S. warships to Central America to aid revolt-threatened
Guatemala and Nicaragua against any Communist-led attack.
The reason for this action by the president was due to the charges
made by Guatemala and Nicaragua's governments against Cuba's
Prime Minister Fidel Castro. They charged him with helping the
rebels to revolt.

The United States' action in sending help to the Carribean
area can be attributed to the fact that they hope to put the same
type of surveillance there as that in the Formosa Straits. Another
reason is to give clear admonition to Mr. Castro that further effort
on his part to bring about a revolt will be harshly dealt with.

A group of New Orleans, Louisiana, lawmakers has placed
President-elect Kennedy in a very delicate position in that they
want him to speak out on his position on federal-enforced inte-
gration of schools in Louisiana, as well as in the rest of the South.

They (the lawmakers) met Sunday, November 20. with Clark
CUfford. Washington, D, C. attorney and one of Kennedy's "leading
advisors." Mr. Clark acted as Mr. Kennedy's representative since
Mr. Kennedy was not there. Any decision Mr. Kennedy makes will
play a very important part in his coming administration. He is now
under strenuous pressure because of the stand taken for integration
during his campaign. The decision he makes, pro or con, will
verify whether or not the voters can be assured of other promises
he has made.

President-elect Kennedy, at his first press conference following
his election to the Presidency of the United States, named Andrew
T. Hatcher to become his associate press secretary.

Mr. Hatcher, wiio has been active in Democratic National and
State politics since 1950, took a leave of absence from his job as
Assistant Labor Commissioner of California to take part in the
Kennedy campaign.

College Emphasis on Religion

By David Bodison

What is Religion? To different
people it has different mean-
ings; however, generally it can
be said that it is simply a way
of life.

In college usually students
have a responsibility which is
seldom fulfilled ; this responsi-
bility is their religious responsi-
bility.

Each year at this institution,
as is the custom at many insti-
tutions of this type, a week is
set aside for emphasis to be
placed upon religion. For one
week members of the student
body and faculty attend prayer

meetings each morning, religious
programs during the weekdays
and churcli and Sunday School
on Sunday.

This year as the Religious
Emphasis Week celebration ap-
proaches, it is hoped that the
majority of the students at this
institution will fulfill their re-
ligious responsibility by taking
an active part in all phases of
the celebration, not only on
Sunday, but also during the
weekly religious activities.

By doing this they will truly
let their lights shine before men,
that they may see their good
work and glorify God, our
Father, which is in Heaven.

What Does Christmas Mean to Yon?

As the Christmas season approaches the thought that each
year more people are getting farther away from the true meaning
of Christmas enters the minds of many.

Christmas to the "small fry" in the United States means Santa
Claus. while in France it means Saint Nicholas, or in England it
means Father Christmas. In spite of the fact that Santa is called
by different names in various countries, to all cliildren he represents
basically the same thing. To them he is a symbol of good tidings.
They believe that if they make a special effort to be good as the
Christmas season approaches, on Cliristmas eve Santa will come
and fill their stockings with many of the things they have wanted.

The idea of Santa Claus as a symbol of Christmas is quite
appropriate for children, but what about adults and the meaning
of Christmas to them? Well surprising as it may seem, to many
adults the meaning of Christmas is not as good as a child's meaning.

Often adults tend to think of Christmas solely as a time for
having lots of fun going to parties and eating, drinking and being
merry; or for some it is considered as the time for giving gifts with
the idea of receiving gifts in return; still others consider it as a
time for decorating houses extensively, in an effort to outshine
neighbors.

One cannot say that leaving out the true meaning of Christmas
is strictly a fault of the present generation because this trend has
been developing long before the present generation came into
existence. However, the present generation is not doing its part in
helping to preserve the original meaning of Christmas,

The question of how the present generation can do its part to
help restore the original meaning of Christmas probably comes to
mind. The answer to this question is an obvious one. The present
generation can help to restore the original meaning of Christmas
by observing it as a day set aside to honor Christ; by exhibiting
Christ-like characteristics; by remembering the less fortunate, and
giving for the spirit of giving and not for the purpose of receiving;
and finally by linking Christ with Christmas, remembering that
it is one of the most sacred times of the year.

On November 22, the march-
ing, singing, worming, ducking,
and all other phases of proba-
tion came to an end, leaving
many with the belief that the
fall probation of 1960 was one of
the liveliest in the history of our
college.

The spirit exhibited by all of
the groups on probation was at
an all-time high. The various
groups of young ladies tried to
out sing and out dance each
other, while the various groups
of young men tried to out sing
and out march each other. At
times the competition became so
great that a bystander had a
tough time deciding which group
was presenting the best or
funniest show.

Although a large portion of
probation was spent in provoking
laughter, the entire period did
not consist entirely of fun
making. There were times when
constructive things were done
by the probates. For instance,
the Kappa Dogs spent a portion
of their time picking up litter
on our campus, while the Alpha
Dogs spent a portion of their
time painting the benches in the
Alpha's patio.

For many of the probates, pro-
bation was a hard struggle. At
times it looked as though some
of them would not endure the
struggle. However, all of them
lasted to the end, and as a result
there are forty-one ( 41 ) new
"Greeks" on our campus.

Those inducted into the
various groups are as follows:

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill.
When the funds are low and the debts are high.
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must but don't you quit.

Charles Tootle

Shirley Terry

In this edition, the Spotlight casts its rays upon two outstand-
ing students, Shirley Jean Terry and Charles Tootle.

Shirley, a quiet, soft-spoken, and friendly young lady, hails
from Dawson, Georgia, and is a graduate of Carver High of that
city. While enrolled here at the College, she has participated
in several phases of campus life; however, her most noteworthy
contribution to campus life is in the role of pianist for the College
Sunday School. This position she has held for three years. Her
other extra-curricular activities are Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, the
Y.W.C.A., Alpha Kappa Mu Tutorial System (tutor in mathematics),
and the college band.

Being, as she puts it, a "regular girl," Shirley dislikes people
who are very moody. Her pet peeve is "for people to fail to com-
plete statements, or make a statement which leaves one hanging
in the air." Her hobby is music, and she enjoys listening to all
types of music, from rock 'n roll to symphonic music.

Shirley plans to complete her requirements for a B,S. degree
in mathematics here at SSC in 1962. Afterwards she hopes to
become a mathematics instructor in a public high school.

"His life was gentle; and the elements so mixed in him, that
Nature might stand up and say to all the world. This was a man!"
Shakespeare.

In the foregoing lines, one can find the key to the personality
of Charles Tootle. Charles, neat and debonair, has been a source
of inspiration to many students and an asset to the school. Hail-
ing from Savannah, he is a graduate of Alfred E. Beach High
School of this city. Currently, he is doing student teaching at
Sol C. Johnson High School of this city. Prior to going on the field,
he was affiliated with several campus organizations, such as the
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Pan-Hellenic Council. Tiger's Roar
Staff iformer sports editorl, and the Social Science Club.

Hobby-wise, he enjoys sports, dancing, and reading. He dis-
plays his love for sports by serving as a student manager for the
college-football team. His philosophy of life is a simple one "It
can be done." Ambition-wise, he hopes to enter social work after
completing the requirements for a B.S. degree in social science.

The New Look

With the passing of the Con-
tinental style, America is be-
ginning to feel the influence of
the New London Line. Unlike
American traditional natural-
shoulder coats, the body is
shaped i.e., the jacket moves
in slightly at the waist; the coat
can be buttoned to accentuate
this curve to the waist. The coat
13 longer than the Continental
jackets and because the waist is
suppressed, flares out slightly.
From the back, too. the lines are
longer, shaped, and flared. The
trousers as in all current
Silhouettes are tapered slim.

The new natural topcoat is
shaped to the LEAN SILHOU-
ETTE. By means of a lower
collar . . . shghtly shorter length
and tapered sleeves, a trimmer
bodyline has been achieved in
the classic London manner.

As trousers and slacks go
slimmer, shoe fashion rises to
the occasion with new Leather
High-Lights. Our latest fashions
in shoes are burnished olives
7/ith pointed toe. true browns
with higher front, or slimmer
lines with higher heels.

WOMEN'S
FASHIONS

By Geraldine Lindsey
"Elegant Coats in Winter White"

Just a few seasons back, the
white coat for winter was a
costly luxury that few women
could afford. However, this
winter, it's for everyone. It can
serve as a second coat in your
wardrobe, because it can be used
for evening wear, and it lends
to traveling from one climate to
another.

Beautifully cut from pure
wool, the white coat provides a
dramatic background for ac-
cessories. It can be sparked with
color or worn with white gloves,
a white chiffon scarf, a white
mink or a fake fur hat.

Cut in lightweight wool (a soft
fleece or a nearly weightless
hopsack), the winter white
coat can be of service from No-
vember to April. It is meant to
be a working part of a ward-
robe rather than a luxury to be
worn a few times, then set aside.

Generally, the styling for these
winter white coats is simple and
pure of line. Often they are
trimmed and bound in white
satin, a tiny touch to heighten
the dazzling effect of the white.

A good many women are going
to have an immediate feeling
that the winter white coat will
present constant cleaning prob-
lems. Actually, this should not
be so if it is used as a second
coat in a winter wardrobe.

The Tiger's Roar Forum:
A Column of Oj>inion

By Annette Kennedy

Much concern has been given to the status of the social life
here at Savannah State College. Therefore, this article of opinions
shall be concentrated on views expressed by several students here
at our institution in regards to social life.

Question: What are your viewpoints concerning the social Jife
here at SSC?

Replies:

Dora Myles. junior, Savannah The social life on this campus
needs much improvement. It will take the effort of the people in
authority as well as the students to cope with this problem.

Jean Quarterman. senior. Walthourville The social life on this
campus should be improved. It seems to be in a state of depression.
If we as students could find out where the fault lies, maybe we
could correct it.

Julia Choely. junior, Warrenton I think the recreational ac-
tivities are very inadequate and not well planned. There are not
enough activities after classes are over and during the weekends.

Bertha Kornegay. senior, Hazlehurst^ The center is absolutely
too small for the number of students on the campus, and the
equipment in the center is limited and not up-to-date. Since the
center does play a large part in our social life, I feel that is
the main reason why social interest is lagging.

Marjorie Howell, freshman. Lumber City^I have fulfilled my
social desires. However. I feel that the social activities on campus
can be improved.

Theresa Lewis, freshman, Madison I think the social life at
SSC is well planned. The school offers a number of activities for
students with different tastes.

Abraham Johnson, junior. Savannah I think the social life
could really be improved, especially the recreational aspect. There
are not enough sports for girls and non-varsity students.

Kenneth Alexander, junior. Savannah The social life definitely
needs improvement. The activities should be so planned as to bring
about a closer relationship among the students and a feeling of
school spirit.

Percy Harden, sophomore. Savannah The social activities are
adequately planned; however, the students do not show enough
interest in participating in these activities.

Betty Jean Nunnally, sophomore, Statesboro The social life
could be improved upon in the area of cultural activities. I do not
feel that there are enough activities of this nature taking place
on campus.

Creative Poetry

IF

By Eddie Bryant
If I could master words

and give them all to you.
In such a way you would under-
stand
that all my love is true.
If my lips could only speak

of the many things my eyes see
And teil them all to you. my love
you would know how much you
mean to me.
If the moon and stars would
cease to shine
and all this world lose sight,
With you in my arms, my loving
darling,
forever there would be light.
If my love could only be
measured
or spread out before your
heart.

Then and only then, perhaps you
would say
that our love would never part.

Fail Muses

By Charles H. Lee

Welcome fall with your magic

brush,
Why color all nature in such a

rush.
Are you afraid of the summer's

return.
And the budding again of the

lovely fern?
Fear not. you are the subject of

the day.
Then splash your colors in jovial

play.
Till all nature blends in sweet

accord.
And a beauteous season is the

world's reward.

SSC Tigers Upset
Clark College. 6-0

The SSC Tigers upset a power-
ful Clark College squad. 6-0. with
the only score as a result of a
blocked punt.

In the first quarter the Clark
College Panthers penetrated deep
into the Tiger's territory three
times only to be stopped by a
powerful Tiger defensive wall.
The third time the Panthers
penetrated into the Tiger's terri-
tory, the Panthers went for
broke trying their powerful full-
back, Curtis Cockett. on all four
plays from scrimmage, and even
then, their best power man was
unable to gain anymore than
one-half yard against the power-
ful Tiger goal line stance.

The second quarter saw the
Tiger's daredevil end, Fred
Carter, deflect a Panther punt,
knocking it in the air where end
William Robins caught the ball
and raced some 17 yards to pay-
dirt for the only score of the
game.

The quarter ended in a fine
display of defensive abilities and
as the half ended, the score
stood at 6-0 in SSC's favor.

In the third quarter both
teams threatened deep in each
others territory a number of
times only to be stopped by each
others defense. Also in the third
quarter, the Panthers blocked a
punt deep in the Tiger's territory
only to lose the ball on a fumble
recovered by Robert Leonard.

The fourth and final quarter
also was a show of defensive
power, with each team threaten-
ing at least once.

The outstanding performers
for the Tigers were as follows;
Fullback Robert Leonard, who
only last week was hurt in the
game between the Tigers and
Alabama State College and was
believed to be out for the rest
of the season but afer working
on his ailments during the week
was able to play and display his
very fine defensive ability.
Sharing the lead honors with
Leonard was Fred Carter who
also displayed his fine defensive
ability.

Other outstanding players
were Wendell Mcintosh, Eddie
"The Great" Bell, Tommy Davis,
John Strong. Harold Cleveland.
Elijah McGraw. and Johnny
McHellen, and Bobby Dunbar.

During the half-time inter-
mission the bands of Savannah
State College and Clark College
presented the greatest half-time
performance put on by two col-
leges ever to be seen in this area.
The Savannah State College
Band is under the direction of
Bandmaster Samuel Gill. The
Bandmaster of the Clark College
Band is Dr. Wayman Carver.

Strong, a 180-pound senior
right halfback, streaked 61 and
five yards for the first half
touchdowns that broke the backs
of the invading Lions. He totaled
104 yards on 12 carries and
added a two-point conversion to
his day's work.

The victory completed the
campaign of Coach Richard
Washington's Tigers with a rec-
ord of three victories, five de-
feats and a tie, Paine lost all
seven of its battles.

Strong's sprinting, a 64 yard
pass play from Harold Cleveland
to Henry Saunders, and a trio of
two-point conversions gave Sa-
vannah State a 24-0 halftime
lead that was too much for the
undermanned Lions.

plays later, Leonard plunged for

Strong shared starring honors
with Leonard, freshman half-
back Tommy Davis, and quarter-
back Cleveland. Leonard col-
lected a pair of two-point con-
versions in addition to his touch-
down, and totaled 70 yards in
10 carries.

Davis added 76 yards in seven
trips. Cleveland completed three
of four passes for 112 yards.
Another fullback, John Edwards,
picked up 49 yards in two runs.

SSC easily dominated the first
half, netting 236 yards while
holding the visitors from Au-
gusta to two on the ground and
75 in the air. Paine added only
19 ground yards in the second
half, totaling 21 for the day.

Losing three fumbles spoiled
the Tiger's chances of piling up
more points in the second half.

Winston-Saleni
Tops SSC, 105-72

The Savannah State Tigers
lost their opening game of the
1960 season in the Georgia In-
vitational Tournament to Wins-
ton-Salem Teachers College of
Winston-Salem, North Carolina,
by a score of 105 to 72.

The Rams of Winston-Salem
made 80 per cent of their shots
and was paced by guard Cleo
Hill, who scored 43 points. Hill
is a two-time most valuable
player in the CIAA conference
and is a NAIA All American. This
was one of his better nights as
he scored with hook shots, set
shots, lay-ups, and a deadly
jump shot. Winston-Salem had
a height average of 6' 4" com-
pared to SSC's 6' 2" average.

The Savannah State Tigers
were paced by Ira Jackson and
Willie Tate with 20 points. Redell
Walton and Captain James
Dixon pitched in scoring 14 and
10 respectively.

SSC Cagers to Compete
In New Orleans Tourney

l/According to Coach Ted Wright, SSC Cagers coach, the SSC
cagers are to compete in the New Orleans tourney where the
Crescent City Sports fans will witness three spectacular sporting
events during the final week of December.

On December 26-27 at Xavier Valley State of the SIAC is

Gym in New Orleans, the 11th
Annual Pelican State Basketball
Classic will be staged with four
Titans of the cage world partici-
pating : Savannah State, Fort
Valley State, Southern and
Grambling.

Grambling, the two - time
Southwestern Conference Cham-
pion and the NAIA District VI-B
Champions last season, is paced
by two NAIA All Americans, Rex
Tippitt and Charles Hardnett.
Southern is sparked by a brilliant
scoring tandem of Bond and
Thomas. The Southern Jaguars
have four of last season's five
starters returning. Last season
in the first round of the NAIA
District VI-B Championships,
Southern dumped Dillard from
the competition and advanced to
the finals, losing to Fred Hobdy's
great Grambling quint. Fort

coached by James Hawkins,
former Xavier coach and their
starting five includes Eddie
Andrews and Walter Wilson, two
ex-Gold Rush and St. Augustine
High aces. Savannah State is
the defending champion in Dis-
trict VI-A of the NAIA and
coached by Ted Wright, who
developed "Sweetwater" Clifton,
Leroy "Red" Rhodes, James
"Whimpy" Hall, "Blotto" Crozier
and the great "Ambassadors"
while at Xavier. Savannah last
season went to the NAIA Cham-
pionships in Kansas City and lost
to Southwest Texas, the eventful
champion, after a hectic strug-
gle. Last season Savannah State
mowed down Morris Brown and
Florida A and M's ferocious
Rattlers. This year Savannah
State has all five starters re-
turning.

noisy and distracting."

Festival," Lottie Shellman, and
the Wilson Trio formed a re-
ception line to greet students
who praised the concert highly.

LITTLE MAN ON CATiiPUS

Miss Loreese E. Davis. Dean of
Women at Savannah State Col-
lege, met with the college female
population in a special assembly
Wednesday. November 16, in
Meldrim Auditorium, for the
purpose of discussing the As-
-nciation of Women Students.

Miss Davis explained that the
-A.-^sociation of Women Students
i.s a service group dedicated to
cultivating an attitude toward
pieparing women to govern
tliemselves throughout their col-
lege careers, and thereby in-
crease their ability and desire
to fulfill the role of educated
and competent women in a
democratic society to the high-
est degree of social, physical, in-
tellectual, and spiritual achieve-
ment.

At the meeting a nominating
( ommittee was elected by the
wojnen students to nominate
candidates for officers of the
A.s.-;Qciation of Women Students.
< )ne representative from each
class, was selected for the com-
ni ittee : Nora Williams. Fresh-

man class, Dorothy Carter,
Sophomore class, Henrietta
Meeks, Junior class, and Eva
Boseman. Senior class.

AH women of Savannah State
College are members of the As-
sociation of Women Students
The governing body, however,
consists of the elected officers.
a representative from each class
and one from each of the female
organizations on the campus.

After the business portion of
the meeting, some young ladies
modeled some unbecoming
fashions and Miss Davis di.s-
cussed some interesting factors
concerning dress on the campus
and proper grooming.

In her discussion she stated
that some of the campus fads
are being taken to their extremes
such as the short dresses, and
the short and tight skirts. She
reminded the young ladies that
"The purpose of style is to sell
goods, but before buying them
one should know what style is
best suited for her particular
figure and personality."

"aeulty-Staff
Talent Show
Presented

A record - breaking crowd
packed Meldrim Auditorium Fri-
day night. December 2. at 8; 00
o'clock to attend one of the most
spectacular programs of the sea-
sonThe Faculty-Staff Talent
Show, presented by Camilla
Hubert Hall Dormitory Council.
The Rockettes a female faculty-
staff chorus line thrilled the
audience as they chorused to the
beat of two numbers "Country
Garden" and "Winter Wonder-
land." If the thunderous ovation
received by Joan Gordon and
Albertha Boston is any indica-
tion of their appeal, it might be
said that they were both very
much in the "spotlight."
Whether to the melodious strains
of "Trees," as sung by Dr. Gor-
don, or to the comical rendition
of a symphony, as played by Miss
Boston, everyone will readily
agree that both performers
captured the audience.

Martha Avery and Arthur
Brentson were both captivating
in a profound dramatic pre-
sentation of Paul Lawrence Dun-
bar's "In the Morning." No less
entertaining was G e r a 1 d i n e
Abernathy's very amusing in-
terpretation of "Angelina John-
son," also by Paul Lawrence
Dunbar.

More on the classical side may
be attributed the renditions by
Elonnie Josey, WiUiam Bowens,
and Madeline Harison Dixon. Mr.
Josey's electrifying performance
of "Choral" and "Priere a Notre-
Dame" taken from SUITE
GOTHIQUS by Leon Boellman.

Participants in the chorus line
(The Rockettes) were Misses Al-
bertha Boston. Althea Morton,
Marcelle Rhodriquez and
Mesdames Ernestine Bertrand,
Beautine Hardwick, Emma Mur-
ray, and Armicie Sanderson.

Winter Quarter
Enrollineiit Gains
Over Last Year

Tradition wise the Winter
Quarter attendance decreases
considerably due to the depar-
ture of many of the Fall Quarter
students, but it is a different
situation this time. Mr. Ben In-
gersoll, college Registrar, proudly
announces:

"In comparing the Fall Quar-
ter total of 1.076 students, one
should be proud because of the
small number of dropouts in
comparison with other years,"
However, Mr. Ingersoll warns
that there is still room for im-
provement.

Statistics show, also, that the
Winter Quarter, one year ago,
yielded only 912 students (555
women and 357 men) to com-
pare with this year's overwhelm-
ing Winter Quarter total of 1,(J76
students (624 women and 452
men).

This is a sign of progress, and
the Savannah State College
Family is happy to know that it
is growing.

The paintings and drawings of
Phillip J. Hampton, assistant
professor of fine arts at Savan-

part a contribution to the latest
literary work of Cedric Dover of
Brentford, Middlesex, England.
This very recent publication is
entitled, American Negro Art.

American Negro Art is pro-
fusely illustrated with the works
of Negro artists from various
eras of this nation's history. It
is immediately evident that the
author has been very effective
in communicating to the world
the significant contribution of
Negro artists. It is expected that
American Negro Art will satisfy
the hunger of those who might
have suspected that the Negro
artist is more than an obscure
contributor to the culture of
America, hence providing a more
complete appreciation of the
profoundness of art.

Presideufs Message

W lial Fa(l<n> I)('\(l(p Maliirily ami Rc-^poii^
in Coll(':o Shideiils':'

On every college campus, one finds students who vary con-
siderably in the degree of maturity and the exercise of responsi-
bility. These variations exist among students of the senior college
level as well as among those on the junior level. Many factors
contribute to the formation and development of these character-
istics. Certainly, early schooling in the elementary and secondary
programs contributes to the development of these characteristics.
During the process of schooling, however, the influence of the home
and the community play important roles in the development of
these characteristics. It is t be expected that these characteristics
will be developed at a more rapid rate as changes take place in
our culture.

The earlier participation of youth in the running of our local,
national, and international affairs requires that these character-
istics be placed on the critical list in educational programs. Maturity
and responsibility do not develop and grow like subject matter in
any of the recognized disciplines. Tliey are more likely to flourish
in an environment or situation which provides students witli oppor-
tunities to exercise them. In some colleges, one finds students who
are able to make mature judgments, assume leadership responsi-
bilities, and act on a high level ol self-direction.

As in all other forms of effective education, effort must be
made to develop these characteristics. In general students who
show high development in these areas enhance their continued
growth through the use of opportunities to develop them. Greater
freedom allowed students in our colleges and larger participation
in the operation and running of the college program provide an
atmosphere lor unlimited growth. To utilize this atmosphere and
opportunity, one must plan specifically to do more of the things
which indicate self-direction and maturity.

If the goals and main objectives of the college are to be realized,
larger numbers of students must plan to become self-directive,
critical r^: their education, and planners for improvement and up-
grading of the entire program. This statement assumes that
students have accepted the understanding that they must educate
themselves rather than rely upon their teachers for the entire
process. Suggestions for improvement, willingness to assunie in-
dividual and group responsibility, desire to see more than one side
of a question, stamina to stand alone on the basis of facts, and
willingness to express and substantiate one's point of view represent
some of the activities which contribute to the development of thes^
desirable characteristics. Effective results can be achieved in the
academic disciplines if maturity and responsibility are present in
large amounts.

(;E<)K(;IA IINTEGKATION CRISIS

Students at the University of Georgia should extend a welcome
hand to the two Negroes who have broken the segregation barrier
at the University. This statement was made by Mr. Ralph McGill.
publisher of the Atlanta Constitution. Mr. McGill continued "that
an act such as this would shut the mouths of slander in Moscow,
in Peiping. in Cuba, and in all the centers where the Ugly South-
erners have been of so much assistance to the communistic attack
on American principles." He went on to say that students at the
university have a God-sent opportunity to dc a service for the
South which we all live. Destiny has given them an opportunity
to erase the picture of the 'Ugly Southerner' so starkly and dis-
turbingly shown to the nation and to the world at Little Rock
and New" Orleans."

Mr. McGill's statements were made in reference to a federal
judge ruling tiiat the all-white University of Georgia must let
down its segregation barriers and admit two Negro applicants.

IS AMICKICA S'IR<)N(; OR WEAK?

It is time for all Americans to realize that the day of inevit-
ability is here. Trying to deter the progress of any segment of our
society is. in itself, a blow to the progress that our great country
has made. America cannot be strong in one section and weak in
another. We, as Americans, are at the threshold of a very im-
portant decision^ whether or not we want to retain our leadership
of world power not only as far as Military Might, but in leadership
and in respectability. The decision is ours, and only we can make
it. To do so. it will take the cooperation ol every single, wonderful,
mindful American existing in this great land, I know my decision,
^what is yours?

Dear Mr. Wright and Player.s:

It gives me great pleasure at this time to welcome all
of you back from your victorious tiiumphs in Xew Orleans.
On behalf of the student body may I commend you on
winning the championship of the Pelican Tournament. It
is because of your excellent sportsmanship that Savannah
State College achieved a great amount of prestige last year.
You are again on the road to this same type of superiority.
We are planning a college-wide reception to be given in
your honor during the second week of the winter quarter.
You will be notified of the time and place in the very near
future. We will also honor Mr, John R. Strong for his out-
tanding achievements in the athletic field.

Again welcome home and our loyal suijport is yours
throughout the season.
Until next edition.

Sincerely,

Eva C. Boseman,

President Student Council

This painting was produced in
freely handled forms of greens,
yellow, and vermillion. At the
time the artist was making the
initial sketch, two young girls
walked by , . , there was little
alternative but tu enhance the
composition further with the
spontaniety of young girls. The
finished work could have had
no other name. This was a prize
winning painting in an Atlanta
exhibit a few years ago.

On the front page of "The
Muralisf section, Hampton's
cartoon lor a mural is used as
a decorative introduction to this
S'jction. The sketch shown was
a preparatory drawing for the
mural which now hangs in the
Home Economies Building on tlie
campus.

Another work is "The Har-
binger," a five foot oil painting
which was developed over a two-
year period. "The Harbinger"
presents an expressionistic ap-
proach and is done in warm
umbers, yellows and white with
accents of blue, To the artist
this painting seems to impart a
feeling of warmth and virbating
serenity.

The figure in this painting is
a girl with a Ijird and cage. The
artist is reluctant to make verba!
descriptions of his work, for it i.^
felt that ail is a form of uni-
versal communication which
says many things at one time
tu as many individuals, Hence,
wliat a work reveals to one need
not communicate the same
message tu another. The vicwei
[hcrcfure being the receptor
must make efforts to absorb for
himself, if he can, the message
that words could never convey,
fur it must be accepted that all
things have their limitations , , ,
where words leave off visual art
begins.

Nt'w E(]uipineiit Aids
Training; in Business

At the beginning of the winter
quarter the Division of Business
installed new clerical equipment
to increase efficiency. The Di-
vision has long been known to
turn out top students. Approxi-
mately 87 per cent of SSC's
clerical staff is composed of
business majors from the col-
lege. For this reason and several
others that can be cited, the
department needed modern
equipment to produce better
trained business students.

H, E, Anderson, chairman of
the division commenting stated,
"today's education is a modern
education, made so by modern
equipment." The new equipment
will be used to aid the students
in typing courses, and office
machine course.

There is still an urgent need
for additional machines, in the
Division, but until this action
is taken, the educational process

moves forward.

READY TO DO HARD WORK: Pupils in the SSC Nursery
School prepare to ma' e objeels, oul of clay. The Nursery has well
planned aclivilies to ;'id the development of children enrolled in
the ichool. The work isn't really hard, but look at the tools.

Life

By Charles H. Lee
Life is but a passing Flower,
Controlled supreme by His great

power.
It grows and soars in all its

splendor.
Measured truly by deeds it ren-
ders.

It reigns in all the climes and

desert heat.
In wind and rain or freezing

sleet.
It prints on the pages of time.
To the tune of war, women, and

wine.

Count the minutes of each day

you love.
And the things truly to life you

gave.
For it is like the burning candle.

and
Soon turns to ashes over your

mantel.

How to

Understand

Women

How can men avoid entangling
alliances with the fairer sex?
This has been the 64-doIlar
question since the creation of
man.

In our modern society toc^ay,
the ever changing, unexplain-
able. puzzling, motive of a
woman cannot successfully be
figured out. The solving of this
problem has been attempted by
some of the greatest men of the
world.

The poet Otway wrote, "O
woman! lovely women! Nature
made thee to temper man; we
had been brutes without you.
Angels are painted fair, to look
like you; tiiere is in you all that
we believe of heaven amazing
brightness, purity, and truth
eternal joy. and everlasting
love."

There are many others like
Otway who have tried to explain,
"How to Understand Women."

Gib Supple, Ad Director of
Shulton, has compiled clues to
making a smash hit with Her
. . . and Her . . . and Her.

1. Know what to say. Most
women resent the condescending
"little woman" approach, so, if
you compliment her on her
knowledge of batting averages
or the international situation,
don't sound as if it's a miracle
that she knows these things,
Virtually every woman likes to
be proud of her man's intellect,
so profit from the example of a
gent who was famous for
among other things his ability
to converse on any topic. His
name: Giovanni Giacomo Casa-
nova.

2. Act devoted. Brush imagi-
nary dust from her shoulder,
hold hands under the dinner

Campus Spotlight

By Yvonne McGIockton

Richard Coger Gladys Lambert

Campus Spollighi. ,i rveuhr jfulun- / Thk lictlt's Roah. pitys
tribute to disiinguishvil sfiiilvnis who through their scholarship,
service, loyally mid iittitniln hurr iiirritril this trihutv.

In this edition the Spotlight salutes one senior and one junior
Gladys Lois Lambert and Richard Mondell Coger,

Neat and petit, Gladys is a native Savannahian and a graduate
of Alfred E. Beach High School of this city.

Gladys, a 1960-61 "Who's Who Among Students in American
Colleges and Universities" honoree, was the 1960 recipient of the
"Mantle of Athena" (mantle given to the woman in the junior class
with the highest scholastic average)

She is currently a senior, majoring in social science and minor-
ing in English, and is affiliated with several campus activities.
Among them are the Student National Education Association, the
Social Science Club (reporter), the Committee on General Edu-
cation, Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society (treasurer), and Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority (financial secretary).

She is a typical young lady wlio stands out among other women.
Intelligent, soft-spoken, and friendly, she makes people feel con-
tent being around her.

Like most well-rounded persons, she enjoys hobbies. Currently
her hobbies include collecting classical records, playing badminton,
and reading.

Her "pet peeve" and philosophy are similar. She dislikes hear-
ing people make time-consuming statements and she believes
that "the wise man thinks before speaking."

Gladys is a senior majoring in social science, with the ambition
of going to graduate school and becoming a social worker.

"Knowing thyself." says Richard Coger. "is the key to success."
By this he means that each individual should be aware of his own
limitations.

Richard, a 1958 graduate of Jasper High School of Ridgeland.
South Carolina, can be described with the following three "C's"
cooperative, competent, and courteous. He is always willing to give
a helping hand, often far beyond the line of duty, and is highly
efficient in his work.

Coger, the highest ranking industrial education major at the
college, proves the fact that extra-curricular activities and scholar-
ship do go together. In his two years stay at this institution, he
has participated extensively in campus activities.

Currently he is active in the Crescent Club of Phi Beta Sigma
Fraternity (president), the Committee on Student Activities. Tech-
nical Science Club. Business Club, Student National Education
Association, and the Interest Group of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor
Society. In addition, although he is not a member of the Student
Government Association, he has attended every meeting of the
Association since lost September, and has diligently worked with
the group in all of its activities.

Coger enjoys writing poetry, going to the movies, and partici-
pating in fencing matches. This past summer, on a chapel program
presented by the Physical Education Department, he displayed his
fencing ability by defeating his opponent in a fencing match.

After graduating he plans to attend graduate school. His
ambition is to become a manager of a construction company.

FASHIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR

By Eddie W. Bryant. Jr,

The new sheep skin look that will be seen this year will be
the luxurious peltskin coat with the shawl collar, wool lining.
black toggle buttons, and pocket and sleeve tabs. Also new is the
reversible all weather outercoat. It has thick wale corduroy on
one side and a warm, bright will blanket plaid on the other. If
worn on the corduroy side, the plaid shows up at the shawl collar.

For many, it will be the compact coat. We can't promise that it
will solve your parking problems but. this shorter, swagger coat
offers uncompromising design and tailoring in the Silhouette line.

For the changing man. watch for the increasing line of styles
from London: like the grey and brown checked topcoat, with classic
raglan-sleeves, balcollar, slash pockets, and center vent, or the
glen-plaid English worsted suit with slightly built-up shoulders
and deep side vents. The sleeves are set-in in front and raglan
in back. This coat also has balcollar. flapped chest pocket, and
olive wool lining.

The popularity of olive-tone suits has inspired consumers to
desire a new shoe color. Burnished Olive^A plain toe. with per-
forations at the border of the vamp, or a moccasin design, not
quite as high, with a strapover instep and elastic side vents.

Club and Campus men who continue to like the easy, un-
affected look of traditional clothing should have a good idea about
the cut of their clothes. The shoulders must be natural, the waist
unsuppressed, and the jacket falling in straight hanging lines.
The Villager, is a newly designed type of outer coat, that will be
seen on campus this year. It has removable hood and woolen
toggles, and Continental knee length styling, in colors of brown,
olive gray and black.

^^No Radu'iil (Jiaii^it's Due in Silhouette
or Hem Leiijjth^'^

By Geraldine Lindsey

If this year turns out to be a fashion shocker, no one will be
more surprised than the men and women who manufacture, buy
and sell women's clothes.

One reason why women's fashions will continue to move in the
same direction they took in 1960 is because of the business outlook.
Until the economists and the new administration decide which
way the American economy is going, the people who earn their
bread and butter from selling women's clothes are tempted to be
cautious. Business is neither good enough nor bad enough to justify
a radical change of silhouette.

Based on a conviction that this year will represent evolution
from its immediate past, here are some educated guesses about
fashion for this year:

No new startling silhouettes. Just a continuation of styles that
are shaped simply and conservatively, creeping slightly closer to
the body yet still manitaining a wide distance from the plastered
look. Advance rumor from Paris for Spring is the bias cut just
another version of this fitted look.

The color both continues stimulating women to the highest
standards of individuality and discretion. The timid soul who
ventures into a pink suit for the first time will then dare to contrast
it with a turquoise or grass green hat. Navy blue stockings may
be the companion to a white dress.

Prices of clothes will stay up and so will hemlines. Hairdressers
will go on bobbing hair. This year's short haircuts will continue to
be puffy but it will be more romantic, with waves and curls added.

The skirt will make a comeback as women tire of pants. Long
skirts will claim the affection of trousered hostesses. But the culotte
a hybrid that draws a conservative to daring will endure as a
classic.

Bathing suit manufacturers will push modesty with covered
up styles, but women who have attempted the Bikini will remain
loyal to bared midriff.

And add noteworthy thoughts to

Greet the rising of the most

And hall of your day's work is

already done.

Many men suspect and many

women have a language of their
own. expressed in tonal vari-
ations and pauses between words
as well as in the words them-
selves. You'll never speak it, but
for optimum success with
bilingual ladies, it behoaves you
to understand a little of it.

unreasonable within reasonable

grumble a bit when she smiles

Wooklyjoiinialisiii
WorkshopKcsiiines

The weekly Journalism Work-
shop was resumed January 6. in
Meldrim Hall for the purpose of
discussing methods of writing
news and to prepare for the 11th
Annual Southern Regional Press
Institute, which will be held here
February 16 and 17.

Mr. Wilton C. 0cott, adviser to
the publication, informed the
group that the student newspa-
per staff will serve as consult-
ants and directors.

He listed some basic rules con-
cerned with writing news stories,
specifically that news is written
from an objective viewpoint and
not from a subjective viewpoint
"News is anything that appeals
to the readers." said Mr, Scott as
he further stated, "everything
the writer thinks is news may
not be news in the sight of his
readers. Therefore, a real writer
has to find out his readers' in-
terests, before he attempts to
find the news."

Mr. Scott also discussed the
importance of accuracy in writ-
ing, the use of factual informa-
tion, the necessity of story-tell-
ing pictures, and the use and
purpose of captions.

Yvonne McGlockton, associate
editor, presided over the meeting.

The workshop is designed to
acquaint interested students in
layout, editing, interviewing,
news writing, and other phases
of newspaper work.

The Annual Planning Confer-
ence of the Georgia Youth In-
dustrial Education Association
was held on January 14. 1961. at
Savannah State College. The
purpose of the conference was to
complete plans for the Anijual
Youth Conference, Trades Con-
test and Industrial Exhibit to be
held at Savannah State on
March 23.

The Conference was held in
the new Technical Science Cen-
ter and began at 9 a.m, with
registration. The morning ses-
sion was presided over by Albert
T. Smith. President. GYIEA Ad-
visory Board. Remarks were
given by William B. Nelson, Di-
rector. Division of Technical
Sciences, Savannah State; and
A. Z. Traylor. Sr.. Teacher Train-
er. Trades and Industrial Edu-
cation. State Department of
Education.

Trades and Industrial Educa-
tion Teachers, Industrial Arts
Teachers, and Diversified Co-
operative Training Coordinators
each formed groups to discuss,
report and make recommenda-
tions for the forthcoming March
Conference, contest and exhibits.
Following the group meeting,
committees were appointed.

The conference delegates
lunched in the dining hall, after
which they went into the after-
noon session with A. T. Smith
presiding. The afternoon session
consisted of committee meetings
and committee reports. The del-
egates had dinner and the meet-
ing adjourned.

Suggestions for Operating
a School Newspaper

Very few people realize that a great deal of hard work and time
is required to publish a school newspaper. Most of them think
that all the staff does is write the news stories and other articles
for the paper and the printer does the rest. They are not aware
of the work that has to be done by a large or small number of
students along with assistance from advisors in order to publish a
school paper,

The first step toward publishing a paper is to organize a staff.
The following is a typical school newspaper staff organization:

DR. W. K. PAYNE

President. Savannah State
College, is Honorary Direetor.

President's Message

The importance of the Press in modern life and the future of
our goals and ideals should always be kept in the forefront of our
planning and thinking. The number of Americans unable to read
and write diminishes each day while the number of potential
readers increases at a more rapid rate. It is to be expected that
the materials for the readers would be improved in quality and
variety. The people who do the writing will need to be able to
express and report accurately the ideas to be conveyed. It is through
education and training that writers for newspapers, journals, and
periodicals develop the proficiency required for a growing society.
In every school, some individuals should be encouraged and trained
to develop their ability to express themselves through writint?;. Some
will need to be able to interpret, to compare, and evaluate as well
as report news and information.

It is expected that the Annual Press Institute sponsored by
Savannah State College will provide some leadership, direction,
and inspiration for the growth of this area. The youth in our
schools need the contacts and the experiences whicli are shared
during such a meeting. The experiences should prove valuable to
all participants. Many who participate may not make careers in
this area, but the ability to profit by the experiences will be of a
decided advantage in whatever area they pursue careers. There is
an ever increasing demand for writers and reporters who have
special training in the scientific and technological fields.

most important stories available. All other stories are arranged
to suit the major stories. The front page is the most important page
of the newspaper, and the eighth column (the last column at the
right), is the most important column of the front page.
Proofreading the News
Proofreading is a two-man job. It consists of one person read-
ing aloud the original copy while the other corrects the proofs. The
purpose of this is to see that the galley proof follows the original
typewritten story. The person who proof-reads can correct mis-
spelled words, incorrect English and other such blunders that have
been overlooked.

Securing Advertisements

The number of advertisements that a staff secures for a paper
is largely determined by the procedures used in soliciting ads. Be-
fore beginning to solicit some preparation should be made. This
includes listing definite pro.spects, having in mind the size and
the space they could really take: and also having a complete
knowledge of the rates and provisions of your advertisements.

Being a member of a school new.spaper staff gives one an oppor-
tunity to broaden his scope of knowledge. Such activities as these
place emphasis on scholarship, leadership, and citizenship. In
addition, they increase one's desire and appreciation of cultural

Business Managei

The person who heads the staff is called the editor-in-chief.
His duties include yetting the paper out on time and supervising
each step of the production, from gathering and writing tlie news
to reading the final proofs.

The editor-in-chief sliould possess five main qualities according
to Water Rae. author of Editing Small Newspapers. They are as
follows:

1. He should have leadership ability: if he possesses leadership,
his attitude toward policies and principles should be of the
highest standards.

2. He must liave tact; that is, know how to deal with people
in general.

3. He should be an able executive; if he possesses this quality,
he will organize his staff in order that the work will be
adequately planned and distributed.

4. He should know his job. This includes knowing his respon-
sibilities and duties.

5. He should have high moral standards: if he is going to
interpret to the public what is good and desirable he must
be a worthy person himself.

After selecting the editor-in-chief the next step is to select
an editorial staff. The job of this staff is to select and arrange
the contents of the paper. Before organizing this staff the capacity
of each member should be considered, so that they will be placed
in the best positions according to their capacities.

The business staff plays a role just as important as the editorial
staff, because it controls tlie finance and other business matters.
The business staff makes contacts with the printing company, sets
up the advertising rates, and solicits advertisements and sub-
scriptions.

The advisor or advisors are usually selected by the principal
or the president of the school. Theye are the persons who have
authority over the editor-in-chief. They are usually the last persons
to check the material before it is sent to the printer. They also
attend staff meetings.

Obtaining News for the Paper

Often the staff is faced with the problem of getting enough
news for the paper. If the editor wants to be sure of having enough
news for the paper, then he should make out an assignment sheet.
This sheet will have the names of the staff members, the articles
and stories for them to write, and the deadline on which they are
due. The editor should post this sheet so that the staff members
will be aware of their assignments.

News stories are a very important part of the paper. They tell
what is happening in the school, community, and city. The news
story should open with the most important facts being stated first
and the less important- following them. This is done so that the
lead paragraph lor in some cases two or three paragraphs) could
stand alone as a complete story if the following paragraphs had to
be cut.

The feature story also plays an important part in filling out
the pages of the school newspaper. There are countless feature
stories on every school campus just waiting to be written. They are
often the most difficult types of news to prepare, however, they
are also the kind most likely to be remembered.

Original jokes and poems often attract readers to a paper. For
this reason, the staff should try to secure them for publication in
every edition of the paper. They may be secured from students who
attend the scliool or from other sources.

Obtaining Suitable Pbotograplis

There are several things to keep in mind when selecting photo-
graphs for a newspaper. One thing is to make sure that the picture
tells a story. Good pictures usually tell a story and therefore, they
are easy to caption.

Another thing to consider is the composition of the picture.
Make surp that the persons and objects are arranged attractively
and try to avoid distracting effects in the background. Usually
"action pictures" or pictures with some type of motion attract
attention quickly.

Planning the Make-Up

The physical make-up of the paper contributes a great deal to
its success. In making up the paper attention is given first to the

Functions of the
School Paper

Probably tlie primary function
of the school paper is to serve
as the eye of the reader: to re-
flect the activities of the school.
Three requirements are essential
in the carrying out of this pur-
pose : (1 ) the news coverage
must be adequate, (2) News
evaluation must be fair and im-
partial. (3) The news must be
told interestingly.

The high school paper is an
instrument of education. It
affurds a training ground for
students interested in newspaper
work. It encourages creative
writing on the part of students
who wisli to do this kind of work.
It educates the average student
in the resources of his school
and in its needs. The school
paper educates the fathers and
mothers of the community by
informing them of the school
system and its operation. The
school paper should be exact in
maintaining a high standard
of correctness in grammar,
punctuation, and principles of
expression,

Writer Describes Method of Writing
The Lead Paragraph for a News Story

By Louise B. Jones

Of the 5 Ws, one is frequently
of much more importance than
the others. This element should
be placed 'first" hi the lead sen-
tence: that is to say. it sliould
be played up" or "featured." The
following examples show how
one element has been featured:

The "Who" Lead. If the "who"
is a person (place or thing) well
known, it is usually the feature
of the lead. The name alone at-
tracts attention. Unless one of
the other elements is particu-
larly outstanding the "big name"
comes first.

Example Cited

"John T. King, president of
King Furniture Store, was criti-
cally injured in an automobile
accident at Fourth Street and
Flowers Avenue this morning."

The "What" Lead. Concerning
a person of less importance, a
similar lead might appear as
follows:

"A head-on automobile
collision at Fourth Street and
Flowers Avenue sent Elmer
Davis, trucic driver of Southern
Coal Company, to General Hos-
pital in critical condition to-
day."

'Where' Lead

The "Where" Lead. Sometimes
t li e "where" is significant
enough to overshow all other
Ws. An example:

"The dangerous intersection of
Fourth Street and Flowers Ave-
nue was tlie scene of another
collision this morning, when
Elmer Davis, truck driver of
Southern Coal Company, was
critically inured in an auto-
mobile accident there."

The "When" Lead. Rarely is

the time of an event the most
interesting feature. However,
circumstances may make it
significant. For instance:

"Just 15 minutes after police
had erected a "danger" sign at
Fourth Street and Flowers Ave-
nue. Elmer Davis, a truck driver
of Southern Coal Company, was
critically injured in an auto-
mobile accident at the Inter-
section."

Motive or Cause

The "Why" Lead. The motive
or cause of an event frequently
is the most important feature.
Failure to discover the "why"
may lose an interesting lead
feature.

"Haste to get to the bedside
of his dying mother this morn-
ing sent Elmer Davis, truck
driver of Southern Coal Com-
pany, to General Hospital criti-
cally injured. His sedan crashed
into a parked car at Fourth
Street and Flowers Avenue."

The "How" Lead, The "How"
also is a potential leading fea-
ture which is sometimes over-
looked by beginning reporters.

"Thrown through the wind-
sliield when his sedan crashed
into a parked automobile. Elmer
Davis, truck driver of Southern
Coal Conipany. was critically in-
jured this morning at Fourth
Street and Flowers Avenue."

These examples play up (by
placing first* the various fea-
tures which an automobile ac-
cident might reveal. Rarely
would more than one of the ele-
ments be wortli featuring in a
story of a single accident. The
reporter's choice is usually there-
fore, determined by the material
itself. One feature usually "cries

Proofreaders
Find Errors

The proofreader, working in
the mechanical department, may
call himself a print .shop em-
ployee. He works on proofs of
type which has been processed.

His objective i.s to see that the
type as represented by the galley
or page proofs in hLs hands con-
torma to the copy from which It

was set. He handles the copy but
only as a checking source and
without authority to alter it in
any way. although he will ques-
tion erroneous material. The
proofreader uses a set of symbols
of his own. marking them not on
the copy, but on the proofs.

His symbols, in some instances,
resemble those of the copy-
reader, but there are more of
them and they are used in a
different way.

out" its importance and demands
first place in the lead.
Avoid Crowding

CROWDING THE LEAD, If, in
the simple one-incident story.
two or more W's seem equally
interesting, the reporter must
choose arbitrarily between theni.
Awkward leads usually result
from the attempt to feature
more than one W.

Speeding to the bedside of his
dying mother. Elmer Davis,
Southern Coal Company em-
ployee, was thrown through the
windshield and critically injured
when his sedan crashed into a

parked automobile at the
dangerous intersection of Fourth
Street and Flowers Avenue just
15 minutes after police had
erected a danger sign.

Even if a simpler combination
were more successful, it would
not really play up (in the sense
of placing first) more than the
one W. In the simple news story
it is usually better to play up
only one W in the lead sentence.
Other W's can then be amply ex-
panded later in the lead para-
graph or be given ample
emphasis in the body of the
story.

College News

By James C. Matthews
The college newspaper plays
a nimportant role in college life.
You may not know it, but col-
leges are represented to the out-
side world by student publica-
tions. The College newspaper
does not only represent the col-
lege in the outside world, but it
also serves as an outlet for in-
forming students of the activities
that have taken place on and off
campus which concern them.

The college newspaper -is an
instrument of mass communica-
tio non campus. It is a publica-
tion by which the students may
speak or voice their conceptions
through editorials, feature
stores, poems, etc. This a Iso
raises the question of freedom
of the student publication versus
control. The college newspaper
represents the students and
gives them a chance to debate
and test experimental thoughts,
emotions, and beliefs. A free
college newspaper gives self-
expression of the outstanding
moments on campus. It has
many motives of expression and
is as multiform as human
emotion.

The college newspaper does not
only have a local campus value,
but a professional value also.
For many colleges are judged by
their student publications. So
from these conceptions, it can be
concluded that a college news-
paper holds the major spotlight
of student expression in college
life.

Footsteps

By Charles Lee '61
Shuffling along he treads there.
Lost in despair and mortal fear.
A wanderlust of frightful horror,
Dreading each new tomorrow.

Church bells may peal loud and

bold.
His soul remains damp and cold.
He has resigned himself to the

living dead.
And nature his epitaph has read.

Where he is going he doesn't

know-
Life is truly his dreadful foe.
And beneath a tree he would

slowly pass.
While nature chants a requiem

mass.
Editor's Note: This poem was
published in the 1961 American
College Poetry. Anthology.

. . The first duty of the press is to obtain the earliest and most correct intelligence of the
events of the time, and instantly by disclosing them, to make them the common property of the
nation. The Press lives by disclosures. . . .

"The duty of the journalist is the same as that of the historian to seek out truth, above all
things, and to present to his readers not such things as statecraft would wish them to know, but the
truth as near as he can attain it."

John Thadeus Delane, editor. The Times of
London. 1841-1877.

rii<^ Journalist's (^reed

By Walter Williams

I believe in the profession of journalism.

1 believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all con-
nected with it are. to the full measure of their responsibility,
trustees for the public; that acceptance of lesser service than the
public service is betrayal of this trust.

I believe that clear thinking and clear statement, accuracy and
fairness, are fundamental to good journalism,

I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in
his heart to be true.

I believe that suppresison of the news, for any consideration
other than the welfare of society, is indefensible,

I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he

would not say as a gentleman: that bribery by one's own pocket-
book is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of
another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by plead-
ing another's instructions or another's dividends.

I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should

alike serve the best interests of readers: that a single standard of
helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that the supreme
test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.

I believe that the journalism which succeeds best and best
deserves success fears God and honors man; is stoutly independ-
ent, unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power, constructive,

tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful
of its readers but always unafraid; is quickly indignant at injustice;
is unswayed by the appeal of privilege or the clamor of the mob;
seeks to give every man a chance, and. as far as law and honest
wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so. an
equal chance ; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely promoting
international good will and cementing world-comradeship; is a
journalism of humanity, of and for today's world.

Announce Aims
or Tifier's Koar

The Tiger's Roar aims are: to
express student voice and
opinion, print news of our
campus life and world affairs,
compete and excel among other
college publications, announce
important information to the
Savannah State College family.

Publishing a student news-
paper is a job that requires the
cooperation of all student organ-
izations on the campus. News is
made every minute of the day.
It is the job of the journalist
or reporter of the organization
to capture this news and recreate
it on paper. Deadlines are very
important and should be kept.

Literary Section

Though our major emphasis
is journalistic, we acknowledge
our obligation to provide an out-
let for those who desire to ex-
press their creative impulses and
thoughts, through the writing
of essays, short stories, poetry,
and fiction.

Our literary section includes
such writings as stated in the
above paragraph.

Tigers Win Second Straight District Play-off]^Lose Jn K. C.
Publications Win Top Awards At Columbia

JAclanta. Ga. Savannah State
\TOn a bitterly-contested NAIA
District 6-A Playoff Saturday
night in defeating Benedict Col-
lege. 94-37 in the Morehouse
College Physical Education and
Health Building.

It was the second straight
triumph for the Tigers, who won
the inaugural playoff defeating
Morris Brown College, 76-71.

The second triumph of the
Tigers was a majestic one. Sa-
vannah State held command of
the game from start and sur-
rendered the lead to the SEAC
tournament champions.

Savannah State and Benedict
were deadlocked at 41-41 at lialf-
time but the Oceansiders re-
fused to give ground and pulled
ahead to stay.

Redell Walton, the gilt edge
SEAC pointmaker, took scoring
honors with 38 points. His closest
challenger was Benedict's
Timothy Shine who bucked 23.

Redell Walton, Ira Jackson,
Stephen Kelly, Walter Simon
and Walter Simpson were named
on the AU-NAIA District 6-A
playoff team.

Morris Brown perfected a
freeze to chew up the biggest
portion of the final three
minutes of the fourth quarter
of the NAIA consolation game,
and went on to overcome Clark
College, 71 to 65.

Clark pressed the Wolverines -
for command of the game, but
failed to come up with the lead,
the Panther offensive did knot
the count at 51 all with 10
minutes left to play, but Irvin
Ross pushed in 23 markers to
quickly send the M.B.C. five out
front 58-51 for a commanding
lead that the Clarkites could not
overcome.

Edwin Ross blitzed the Panth-
ers with a 24-point"^ barrage to
take high point honors for the
victors. Teammate Wilbert Smith
took runnerup honors with 15
points.

Charles Smith was high scorer
for the losing Panthers with 19
points. Henry (Moon) Clark
amassed 16 points in a losing
cause. Waiter Simpson targeted
12 points through the hoops.

Joe Carter, the lanky center,
was credited with 10 points.

(Editor'i Note: This arlicle ap-
peared on the Editorial Page of the

15. !')IjI.)
Editor, Morning News:

Reading in the column "Extra
Points" in Wednesday. March
8th edition, I share the disap-
pointment with Mr. Ellis con-
cerning the unranked Tigers,
referring, of course, to the Sa-
vannah State College basketball
team. However, I am -still
wondering whether the press
gave this great team the cover-
age that they really deserve.

Of course, you might say that
they were given "adequate" press
coverage, but in comparison with
the "exploded" coverage given to
the local white high school sport
programs, I am convinced that
your paper is as much to blame
as anybody else for a team of
this caliber to be unranked
among small college teams. Do
you remember the little Savan-
nah girl who was a member of
the Gold Medal U. S. Relay Team
in the Olympics? The chances
are, you will have to do some
"research" just to learn her
name.

Matches and Smoking
Leading Fire Cause

This is Spring Clean-Up Time,
and many families are busily en-
gaged in sprucing up their
homes.

Thowing out accumulations of
old newspapers and trash is a
vital part of the Clean-Up job,
because It reduces fire hazards.

The National Board of Fire
Underwriters suggests that fire
safety be made a year-round job.

Around one-fourth of all fires
are caused by matches and
smoking, the National Board
said. Another 20.4 per cent are
due to misuse of electrical equip-
ment.

Three-fourths of all fires are
the result of carelessness and
forgetfulness. They could have
been prevented.

MY KIND OF DEMOCRACY

By William Hagins

Is the U. S. Behind Russia in Worhl Leadership?

For a long period of time people of the Western world have been
trying to calculate our resources, and resources of our infrequent
enemies. This calculation is usually in terms of atomic power, mili-
tary leadership and manpower.

It has been said that the United States is behind Russia and
her allies In the struggle for leadership control. In America we have
a system that is called "freedom," and this is a system that Russia
cannot touch. Freedom means to most Americans, the act of
governing one's self. That is the prime idea of a free nation. We
are free in America to criticize, to deduct, experiment, and to think
creatively as well as express natural heritage. "Freedom of Speech."

The system of communism does not tolerate the high ideals
and principles of the people of the Western world. Is it because
Communists are prisoners of their own system, because they cannot
adjust their complexities and behaviors to realism, for they recog-
nize those realities that fit into their life processes.

Ours is a different sort of philosophy; it is different because we
are free and we can criticize. Our historians are able and free to
follow the truths, and our leaders can follow the wills of the people
and the will of God.

Here in America, we are trying to convey our true rights which
our forefathers have fought so nobly and laboriously for. In this
strive, the minority must be given the chance to show to the world
that the fate of their lives rest upon the same Omnipotent God
that they serve.

Freedom Must Overpower Discrimination in America

Americans must find a true democracy and not a semi-
democracy. A true democracy, the government, rest in the hands
of everyone and not in a ruling class.

This is the necessity of freedom, if freedom cannot prevail
within these United States, Russia and her allies, man will never
discover the peace of mind that is inevitably his dream. Seeing
that the United States is the prime factor of the Western world, it
rest upon her to determine the fate of her immediate surroundings
and all that she tries to influence. Therefore such practices as
discrimination as such must be ceased in America.

SCAT Tests Administered

New abiUty tests to aid in prediction of success and guidance
of college upperclassmen were given to randomly selected seniors
at Savannah State College this week in a standardization program
preliminary to publication of the tests.

Some 1,600 seniors in 68 colleges throughout the country par-
ticipated in the program designed to determine typical scores for
the upper level of the School and College Ability Tests (SCAT*. The
series now includes ability tests suitable for use only through the
college sophomore year.

Test scores obtained from the sampling of college seniors will
be used to construct comparison guides and other materials which
will be published with the new level tests to permit proper interpre-
tation of test scores. Similar samplings of college Juniors will be
made in the fall of 1961.

The new upper level tests are designed to provide information
helpful in predicting academic performance In the college junior
and senior years, in determining qualifications of junior college
students applying for admission to four-year colleges, and in guiding
students toward post-college goals.

The tests, which are scheduled for publication in approximately
two years, follow the same content pattern as the present five levels,
measuring verbal and quantitative skills.

Miss L. Davis administers the new tests. Savannah State Col-
lege participated in a similar program for the college freshman and
sophomore level of the test series in 1956 and 1958.

audience.

Redlands Rush Nips Savannah State In K.C. 89-80
Tigers Eyed Pot- of- Gold In Kansas City

By Theodore Clark
"With the road practically
paved and the rocks under the
sand," the SSC Tigers eyed a
sparkling pot of gold when they
left Savannah Saturday after-
noon for Kansas City, Mo., to
compete for National Champion-
ship honors in the 1961 NAIA
tournament, March 13 through
19.

Faced with the tough job of
beating two of the SIAC's best
teams in the District 6A playoffs
in Atlanta last weekend ( the
Tiger's did just that). After
watching the talented Benedict
Tigers virtually dump the Clark
College Panthers 99-86 in the
opening game of the playoffs,
the Tigers edged a towering
Morris Brown squad 85-83 in the
second game of the opening
night, placing them against the
first game winners, the tall and
talented Benedict team. Again
SSC emerged as victors qualify-
ing them to compete for Na-
tional honors in the NAIA
tournament.

A year ago when the Tigers
arrived in Atlanta for the play-
offs, the word around the sports
circuit was that the Tigers were
just there to watch the taller
teams play. This year like last
year they proved basketball be-
longs to the team with the
superior shooting prowess and
ball handling skill, as they
dumped Morris Brown 76-70 in
the finals, after running through
Florida A & M 95-89 in the semi-
finals.

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER Fashion Director of ESQUIRE Magazine

Easter vacation time draweth nigh. Time to turn your thoughts
away from differential calculus or Chaucer and concentrate on
dazzling the hometown belles with your fashion acumen.

Here's a cram course on the fabrics, colors and stylings to keep in
mind when you assemble a Spring outfit.

THE BIG THREE choices for university
men this season:

1. Muted glen plaids in worsteds or
blends

2. Soft flannels or unfinished worsteds

3. Hairline stripes

In all of these, and particularly in the
plaids, the outstanding color is olive. Ex-
pect to see plenty of the soft greenish cast
that cupped top fashion honors last year
and also new variations on the olive theme
. . . olives with golden, bluish or blackish
casts. Runner up color is a basic medium
grey. You might also consider black with
half-inch white chalk stripes (very new in
tropical worsted) or check into the new
checks.

THE FAVORED SILHOUETTE continues to be our native three-
button Natural Shoulder or a version thereof. This styling
achieves its look of easy simplicity through careful attention to
many small details. Here's what to look for : a soft natural shoul-
der. str:iight hanging jacket lines, center vent and flap pockets.
Single row stitching with a raised welt accents collar, lapels,
sleeve and back seams and pockets,

Trousers are plain, pleatless and tapered.

ADDENDA ON FIT. Hesurecatt
jackets are short enough to allow at
least a half-inch of shirt cuff to
show. Ditto on the jacket collar to
give it proper slope. Trousers should
be long enough to just break over the
instep.

SPEAKING OF SHIRTS . . . button-

down collar models in white or pale
pastels are almost de rigueur with
a traditional suit. Select neckwear in
either a small figured print or regi-
mental repp stripes to coordinate
with suit and shirt. In shoes this sea-
son, look for the plainer models...
slip-ons in dark brown or plain tip
ties in brown or one of the burnished
olives.

PERFECT TOPPING tor your
new outfit is a soft felt hat.
Tapered brim and narrow
crown are the points to look
for. Again, the best color is
olive, especially olive accented
by a black band.

NEXT MONTH, wen delve into
the latest in slacks, shorts,
sport shirts, knitwear and
other related fashions for your
sportin' life. Have a good holi-
day!

Spring Is Here

Spring showers will bring a
flowering of the newly favored
patterns. With the International
Silhouette and the American In-
fluences, the Italian Continental
is a creation of a more catholic
model. The Navarre Grey suit is
an unusual shadow-type pattern
compounded of olive, gold and
blue, with bronze overcast. It
has three buttons, moderately
built-up shoulders, slightly wider
peak lapels, shaped waist,
rounded front, and slanted flap-
less pockets. Trousers may be
cuffless or double pleated.

This season is still heir to the
strong sway of plaids and checks,
and to the ever-mounting in-
fluence of the British silhouette.
Vineyard colors and the natural
fruition of last fall's featured
Grape Tones, share spring's im-
portant color spectrum with
currently popular golds and
olives. The American version of
the British look, of the light-
weight wool jacket checked in
gold, white, black, or mellow
brown is referred to as the
British silhouette.

Another lightweight wool
jacket selected the full-bodied
Vineyard shade called "British
Claret"; the vivid back-and-
Claret plaid is finely overplaided
in olive or gray. The gentlemanly
or colligate model has three
buttons, some waist suppression,
horizontal flap pockets and
center vent. "Altos Blue'" broad-
cloth shirt and Claret tie are ex-
cellent co-ordinates.

The man who prefers the
different in rainwear, but
eschews pattern, will look for
ultra-light tones and fresh styl-
ing features in his spring choice.
On campus, it will be the near-
white beige "shorty," in cotton
poplin, with diagonal slash
pockets, stitched yoke, button
tabs on sleeves, and the ac-
cordion pleated side vents, which
may be worn open or buttoned.

Roar Forum:
A Column of Opinion

By Annette Kennedy

Recently the basketball team visited Kansas City, Mo., for the
second year in succession after defeating opposition at the District
6-A tournament in Atlanta, Student opinion for this i.ssue was polled
on the following question: "WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THE
BASKETBALL TEAM SECOND TRIP TO THE NATIONAL TOURNA-
MENT IN KANSAS CITY,"

Nathan Kight Senior Folkston, Ga. "Per-
sonally I feel that the guys on the team gave the
college a pretty good showing, I do feel that they
were somewhat hindered by their height."

Wilma Rhaney Junior Savannah, Ga. "I
feel that the team's spirit would liave been higher
if it were not for the recent actions taken by the
scholarship committee toward some of the star
players."

Howard Bobannon Senior Newnan, Ga.
.Annette Kennedy -All I can say is that I think the team repre-
sented SSC well in Kansas City and every student should be proud
of them,"

Zelmar Stevenson Junior Florence. S. C. "I think the second
trip was just marvelous, and outstanding for the school. With more
loyal support there might be a time when the team will come home
from Kansas City with the championship trophy."

Albert King Senior Waynesboro. Ga. "The team appeared to
be eager to go to Kansas City, Indications from the rest of the
student body showed that they were pleased to see the team go
again, and supported them 100 per cent."

Juanita Moon Senior Savannah, Ga. "It was as exciting for
the students as it was for the team, The quality of performance
that the team has given was indicative of tlie expectations of the
students of the team to make the trip. I'm very proud of them,"
An Unidentified Basketball Player. "Actually we (the team)
went back to Kansas City again because we like winning. The school
spirit here is not great enough to inspire us and other distracting
things such as the Scholarship Committee and their policies could
really take away our determination. Tliese factors, however, were
not great enough to keep us down,"

Mary HuHis Sophomore Moultrie, Ga. "I feel that the basket-
ball team had a great season and the official record proves it.
Although Redlands defeated us in Kansas City I know we have one
of the best teams in the country."

For want of you no contentment

To gaze into your beautiful eyes.

While her vision rises it's full-

Peace be unto this desperate

For real true love must play its

No sleep I know, no rest I'll find.
Till I hold her once more and

know she is mine.
Miss you; oh, how I pine for you.
For love like this is known by

few.

Begone the bearers of my

This loneliness I am much aware.

Come, my dove, on silken feet,

And quiet my heart in it's rest-

Three National Fraternities Criticized
Because of Discrimination

"N^$ 1 Kf4oW'iOd HAVe rue same AN6Wf k$ ph ^mitm sooz

(UPS) Three national social
fraternities Alpha Tau Omega,
Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi
were under fire this week be-
cause of alleged dicriminatory
pledging practices.

Alpha Tau Omega's High
Council descended upon its Stan-
ford University chapter to con-
duct closed hearings before
deciding whether the national
will expel the chapter for pledg-
ing four Jewish students. The
Stanford chapter has voted
unanimously to keep its Jewish
members, regardless of the con-
sequences.

ATO National President Gerald
Johnson answered the charges
of discrimination by explaining:
"We don't exclude Jews if they

embrace the Christian faith,
ATO is centered in Jesus Christ,
its ritual is based on the New
Testament, and any rushee or
pledge believing in a non-
Christian religion would find the
ritual and some of ATO's Chris-
tian practices offensive."

Phi Delta Theta came in for
stiff criticism from Lake Forest
College in Illinois when the Phi
Delta national refused member-
ship to a Jewish student after
the local chapter had asked him
to join.

Charging Sigma Chi with be-
ing the only remaining fraternity
on the Cornell University campus
with an "overt discriminatory
clause" four Cornell students
picketed the Sigma Chi chapter

Politics and World News

By James J. DeVoo

Maii-Iiilo-Space Shows Groal Achievpiiiciil

The "greatest scientific achievement in the history of man,"
was one of the statements made after the historic flight of man-
into-space. Major Yuri Gagarin, a Russian, 27-year-old. and father
of two children, orbited the earth in a five-ton space ship on a
flight that took one hour and 48 minutes: with the withering away
of approximately 108 minutes on that never to be forgotten day,
Russia, with her great booster, pulled away and won the man-in-
space race.

A Steppe<l-Ui> Program Is NihmIimI

What does this mean to the average American? Is it an in-
dication that man's quest for knowledge of the unknown heavens
will eventually be realized, and that this knowledge will be used
to further his superficial aim of world conquest?

Personally, it has grave implications for the American educa-
tional system and scientific research. Our education in science will
have to be revamped! A stepped-up program in recruiting young
men and women to study the sciences will have to be undertaken!
No longer can America afford to ignore the scientific talent of her
black citizens, when she needs to utilize all of her available man-
power resources in order to win the race against Communist tyranny
and conspiracy.

It is understandable that in the next few days great stress will
be put on the orbiting of an American-manned satellite, and if
the result is anything but successful, it behooves us to institute a
better science program in our schools. And it is our responsibility to
provide a favorable climate in order for our scientists to engage in
research and stop harrassing great scientists like Dr. Lynus Pauling
and Robert Oppenheimer.

Aiiiericaiis Can Meet llie Challenge

The American people have the ingenuity and the know-how to
meet the challenges of the space age and the Russian achievement.
Our great democracy has passed through great crises before, and
showed that she can overcome them. The mobilization of ALL of
America's human resources in a program which will aid in tech-
nological progress will be of enormous help. Vice President Lyndon
B. Johnson's efforts as chairman of President Kennedy's Committee
on Equal Employment Opportunity are concrete steps in the right
direction. Closing the gaps in our science educational program with
more federal assistance will ensure adequately trained scientists
for the future. Only through a concerted effort by all Ainericans
will we meet the challenge of the Russians.

My Kind of Democracy

By William Hagin

Trouble aud Chaos in World Today

The majority of the people of the Western World are now
beginning to believe in the old proverb that says, "The world is a
stage and we, the people, are its leading players." They are be-
girming to believe this because of the trouble and chaos that is
developing iu this world today. Cuba, who once was our close ally
has now broken off all ties with the U, S. France, one of the great
we.stern powers, i5 having trouble in Algeria. The acknowledged
leader of the Western World, the United States is faced with an
internal problem of racial strife.

It would seem that every time any country finds itself in diffi-
culty they call upon the United States for assistance.

Segregation and Diserimination Deadly Forces

My question is, "How can the U. S. lead other countries out of
darkness when at home an enemy destroys her children with a
deadly force called segregation accompanied with the fall out dust
called discrimination?"

We need help in such troubled areas in the U. S. as Mississippi.
Arkansa.s. Louisiana, Georgia, South Carohna and some of the other
die-hard Southern states. When this has been realized the Negro
must, and will be given a chance to participate fully in a democracy
through equal opportunities in education, employment, housing and
the ballot. Then he could prove to the world that the mighty U. S.
is capable of shouldering the many responsibilities of a true
democracy.

When Will America Be Ready?

Then America will be ready to lead the occidental nations for
she would then be practicing what she advocates.

Countries like France. Great Britain and many other western
countries must lead themselves, to promote a kind of government
that is best for the people, and unite themselves into a brotherhood
of men, for the common good of man.

Then the world will really be. not a stage, but a place where
prosperity reside within.

Editorial
Comments

by Alphonso McLean

New Loatlcrs
The entire staff of the Tiger's Roar extends congratulations
to the newly elected student body leaders. We know that a college
is as powerful as its student body leaders. Work diligently and SSC
will be a better school in the future.

No<mI Voliii^ Machines

After closely evaluating the present system
of voting on campus I sincerely believe that
voting machines would do a much better job.
The system of merely throwing a ballot in a
cardboard box, is definitely not representative
of a college election. We hope there will be some
changes along these lines in the future-
Clean Election
It was good to see that there was not any mud throwing in
this election. This proves that a campus politician can carry out
a campaign effectively without dealing in personal malign. Wonder
what would happen if a SSC student ran for the Governor of the
State in 1975, With the type vote getting machines that were used
here, the outcome of that election would be hard to predict.

S|iriii^ Probation

Spring probation was in her unique colorful way as the various
Greeks presented candidates for their organizations to the student
body. The November probation will be one of the largest ever seen
on campus, it was reported by the Pan-Hellenic Council.

Reserve Fund Proposed

Much concern and attention has been given recently to the
financial status of the baseball, track and the college newspaper.
Reports were made that the funds for those activities were ex-
hausted for the fiscal year last month. As Editor of the Student's
Voice (campus newspaper) 1 recommend that in the future ad-
ditional funds from either the students or other sources should be
made available in a reserve fund in order to cover these needed
activities on our college campus. Of course some might say. "We
don't need a baseball or track team." The fact of the matter is
how can other colleges, some even snialler than ours, produce a
well rounded program of extra class activities? A college cannot
sell its program effectively by just sending out bulletins and the
other devices used to get students. The average high school student
looks at a college through a crystal glass. He not only studies the
academic side of the college but also the athletic and the general
tone of the student body through activities such as the student
newspaper, baseball, track, basketball and football teams. If he sees
a fairly good team or newspaper he is immediately interested in
the college.

Therefore, it is my contention that student activities on our
campus are indeed vital to the student morale on campus, and all
efforts should be made to keep them.

Christianity: A Wholesome Sign

By Lorenzo P. McNeal

Traditionally, it is the saintly person who is most conscious
of sin. Individuals whose spiritual lives are dull and insensitive
may not recognize any needs. Those who have achieved great depth
of character are likely to be most eloquent in pointing out their
own faults and failures.

So it is a major point of strength that Christianity makes us
look at our own weaknesses. Individuals and nations are encouraged,
even challenged to take stock. Only such analysis results in recog-
nition of shortcomings.

This means that Christianity is strong in spite of the weakness
of its followers. Though there are no completely dedicated nations
and few individuals who approach the Christian ideal, the goal is
always before us, It lifts men and nations by challenging to higher
achievement, Each height that is scaled enables a new and higher
peak to come Into view.

Christian nations are far from perfect, but they appear to be
so much better than those which have not been touched by God's
message. Conscious of their sins, Christian nations can still have
a message for the rest of the world.

Jesus brought a message so different that many refused to
accept it. He taught us all men are equal in his sight. If privilege
is to be gained, it must be won by personal conduct and It takes
everyone.

Poll Revels Students Would
Patronize Integrated Theaters

(UPS) The results of a can-
vassing of the student body of
the University of North Carolina
during Brotherhood Week last
month has revealed that over
80% of the students questioned
(1879) at the University would
continue to patronize local
theaters if they were open to
persons of all races.

The poll, conducted by a volun-
teer student group, was intended
to find out if claims of theater
owners that their business would
fall off if they were to integrate
were valid.

Students in each living unit
were given a questionnaire, the
completion of which was
optional.

Of the 1879 returned form. 803
(42.7%) indicated the No. 1
choice requesting the opening of
the theaters to all, 28.18%
checked the No. 2 alternative
indicating that they would con-
tinue patronizing the theaters,
16% checked the No. 3 choice,
indicating opposition to the
policy but stating that they
would continue patronage.

The paper also cites, as in-
dication that theater seats are
"growing cold under the present
segregated arrangement" the
recent practice of offering free
showings to fraternity and
sorority groups during prime
evening hours at the Carolina
Theater.

Camp Counselor

science major, received a notice

CAMPUS

FASHIONS

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER Esquire's Fashion Director

Defining "spoitsweai '* is a somewhat sticky wicket in a column
for university men. Apparel which is considered appropriate onli/
for leisure wear on one campus, may be perfectly suitable for the
classroom or even for casual dates on another.

Therefore, I'll not attempt to dictate when the following fashions
should be worn . . . that's up to each man on each campus to decide
for himself. These are the newsmakers in the general sportswear
field for the warm seasons ahead:

YOU NEVER HAD IT SO LIGHT i jackets -The

new crop of wash-and-wear jackets in combina-
tions of Dacron and cotton are almost shirting
weight, and unlined in the bargain. Two positive
trends are notable: giant plaid.t for the pace-set-
ters; subtle colorings in the native craft fabrics
(batik, madras. Kalamkaril for the conserva-
tives. Outstanding color-mates in the plaids will
be either olive and blue or olive and grey. These
look best with solid color lightweight trousers in
deep olive or grey. Complete the outfit with a
classic, button-down collar shirt in white or the
new "Jute" color. ..a light natural tan, especi-
ally effective with olive.

THE BRITISH-INFLUENCED BLAZERS, created

with Yankee know-how, are currently in great
favor. Choose a natural-shoulder, single-breasted
version with metal buttons in navy or one of the
newer hues. . .olive, gold or light grey. The
double-breasted blazers are smartest in navy, ac-
cented with white pearl buttons.

IHt KM lb AKL II for casual shirts in cotton, Banlon or blends.

These, in the conventional, solid-color, short-sleeved pullover style
will be offered in light tan, gold or olive. For kicks, pick one in
bright red. Note. too. the great variety with contrasting border
stripes at collar and sleeve edge, and another group with knit
collar.-^ ami button plackets half-way do"'n the front.

CHECK THE NEW SLACKS...!,, r;,ccfo.

stripes and plaids. The fabrics are light-
weight and washable. Basic tan chinos
continue to be popular, but let yourself go
and add at least one pair of patterned
slacks to your Summer wardrobe this
year.

SWEATER COLLECTORS will unnt to in-

vestigate the si'un-bulkies in pullover or
six-button cardigan style. These look
warmer than they are because the knits
are very porous and many are of cotton or
blends, as well as very lightweight wools.
White is still the number one choice for
warm weather, but tan, gold and olive are
also good.

Advance tip: on my recent fashion-scout-
ing trip through Europe and the Scandi-
navian countries 1 saw patterned sweaters
everywhere, some in such wild color com-
binations as purple, orange and white.

STANDOUT SHOES in the sportswear category are the hi-risers

...either slip-on or laced desert style.
Choose yours in olive or natural tan in
brushed leather.

WHAT'S AHEAD: in the next column.
we'll clear up some of the confusion about
correct formalwear and accessories, and
report on the new trends in beachwear. So
long, for now.

Space Food

Travelers to outer space may
have to grow their own food
en route, reports the May Read-
er's Digest. It is estimated that
a space traveler will need about
seven pounds of food and water
per day. Since this need would
make long trips impractical.
scientists are studying the possi-
bility of using sunlight to raise
nutritious, fast-growing algae
during flight.

Vanishing Americans

Each year an estimated one
million Americans vanish most
of them deliberately. Lt. John J.
Cronin. former chief of New
York's Missing Persons Bureau
says in the May Reader's Digest
that the chief reason for such
disappearances is "to escape a
problem which looks overpower-
ing." Spring and fall are the
peak seasons for vanishing. More
men vanish than women, and
married women disappear more
frequently than single ones.

Melius Fashions

By Eddie Bryant

OUTLETS SEEN FOK
STYLE SCENE

This year even more than last,
the vernal style scene promises
to be a harmonious blend of
tradition and innovation that
should provide more ample out-
lets for both conservative and
liberal tastes.

Things to Come

The shape of things to come
will change a bit, but only the
perceptive eye will notice.
Happily, the natural shoulder
hasn't been touched, but the new
jackets will be longer by a frac-
tion than heretofore, and their
lapels will be slightly wider.
Waist suppression, gentle but
noticeable, will be back, and you
can expect to find more patch
flap pockets on solid-color coats.
Slacks will retain their slim and
clean-lined silhouette, but with
a decline in elasticized waist-
bands. Belt loops will be reap-
pearing, and with them, a
sumptuous variety of new belts
n both leathers and fabrics. But
the biggest news is the trium-
phant revival of stripes: candy
stripes, boater stripes, awning
stripes, ice cream parlor stripes.
On blazers, sweaters, swim
trunks walking shorts, belts.
dress and sport shirts, they
promise to infuse the style sea-
son with an atmosphere of
carnival gaiety that has not been
enjoyed since the stripe-candy
Nineties.

The dress shirt picture reveals
the same balance between tra-
ditionalism and experimenta-
tion. The tidy tab collar in both
snap-fastener and collar button
styles, still will be a handsome
complement to your spring and
summer wardrobe of suits and
ties, and much dressier than the
buttondown. But watch for the
introduction of a short, modified
spread collar as a London shirt
feature. The most noteworthy
news item is the proliferation of
the short-sleeve, tapered body
dress shirt in a multitude of new
patterns, colors and collar styles.

Where Is Your
Shangri-la?

By Katie Williams '59
'Romance, like a ghost, eludes
touching." said the noted Amer-
ican essayist and editor. T. W.
Curtis. "It is always where you
were, not where you are." Al-
most every well traveled person
has a favorite spot on the earth
somewhere; a place he regards
as supremely romantic. But for-
tunately, it is not necessary to
be a world traveler to have a
favorite romantic place, these
days, thanks to movies, televis-
ion and magazines, we can tour
the world vicariously and search
for Shangri-la in our living
rooms.

Most people agree on the qual-
ities that make a place romantic.
First, it must be a place where
we can do the things we enjoy
doing. Second, it must possess
breath-taking beauty. Lastly, the
places we remember as romantic
are invariably those we associate
with memorable people or cir-
cumstances, One young couple
who have traveled extensively
claim the most romantic spot in
the world is Sea Island. Ga, Rea-
son? They spent their honey-
moon there.

To attempt to name the most
romantic place in the world
v/ould seem to be as presump-
tous as attempting to define or
beauty. Each person has his own
reason for finding a place ro-
mantic reasons involving set-
ting, people and circumstances.

Special Feature

YOU ARE ONE OF THESE

By Verdell LaVerne Lambert
When it comes to eating, there are only two classes of people:
those who live to eat and those who eat to live. It is only necessary
to know what a body eats to determiiie what class he belongs to.
If an individual eats as though he were fattening himself for the
market, he would belong to the first class. If he eats barely enough
to keep an ant alive, he would belong to the latter class. Conse-
quently, inasmuch as there are only two classes of people you are
one of these.

Fifteen scores and fifty-two years ago our fathers brought forth
on this continent a new nation the gluttonists! The entire world
knew of their greatness for they were great in width and great
in appetite. But then, what made them such excessive eaters?
History tells us that they were motivated by greed the greed for
food. They believed strongly in the biblical quotation: "Man can
not live by bread alone. . . ." And so at meal time, and in between
meal times, they would eat meats, vegetables, fats, and sweets
lavishly.

Most gluttonists eat about ten pounds of food each day. And
it is with joy and delight that they sit down to ravage and devour
their food. They tear their meat asunder, bite into the bones, and
swallow the solid foods in large pieces.

If you were to meet a gluttonist on the street, you would
recognize him instantly. All of them have the forward look and are
generally bulky people.

People who eat to live are often referred to as "skinny bones."
The "Skinny bones" fast frequently when in the course of
human events, it becomes necessary for them to eat, they do so
sparingly. Their lack of interest in food is due mostly to their desire
to acquire an attractive figure or a slim physique. And so. day
after day they consume pills to lose their appetites while their
flesh waste away.

Their choice of foods would be quite repulsive to the gluttonists.
Like the vegetarians, they eat lettuce, cabbage, squash, spinach, etc.

If you were to meet a "skinny bone" on the street, you would
recognize him instantlly. All of them have the recessive look and
are generally skinny people

Gluttonist! Oh gluttonist! The next time you sit down at a
table to eat, take heed that thy greatness does not overcome thee.
"Skinny bones!" Oh "skinny bones!" The next time you sit down at
a table to eat, you would do well to pattern after the gluttonists.
for they are a great race of people. A word to the wise is sufficient,
is it not?

Professor Speaks
Oil '^Success''

By Alphonso S. McLean

"Everyone seeks the secret of
success," said William H. Bowens.
Associate Professor of Economics
at Savannah State College, as he
addressed more than 1.000 stu-
dents during the weekly Chapel
Hour, Thursday,

"There's no straightforward
formula for success. For most
people the word success is the
rightful place in life one has at-
tained through hard work," he
told the assembly. Professor
Bowens cited occasions in his-
tory where some of the most suc-
cessful men in the world con-
sidered themselves failures be-
cause things they wanted most
could not be achieved, "We
should change our conception
of success and never let failures
defeat our individual aspirations
and intended goals," he said. He
urged the group to grasp hold
of individual ideals and develop
them.

In his conclusion he stated,
"When we think of success we
should think of making the most
of our lives to help others to
make this world a better place
in which to live."

Mr. Bowens, who lectures in
Economics and Accounting,
earned the Masters of Business
Administration Degree in Ac-
counting from New York Uni-
versity and has taught at Sa-
vannah State College for eight
years.

THE SPORTS SCENE

By Redell Walton
Major League BasehaU

Great Leveling in Major League Basehall

In major league baseball. 1961 may eventually become the year
of the great leveling. The National League has three teams the
Phillies, Reds and Cubs that appear to have no chance at the
pennant in the American League the present race seems to be
tight with the Kansas City Athletics, the Boston Red Sox. the
Detroit Tigers and the two new teams the Los Angels Angels, and
the Washington Senators fighting early for the championship. This
year the talent is divided so equally that a New York writer voted in
a spring training poll that the Minnesota Twins was his choice for
the pennant Nme other New York writers picked the New York
Yankees,

Yankees Are Strong

The Yankees are strong, fast and replete with fearsome bats-
men. Assuming the new office of Yankee manager is Ralph Houk.
Houk has his job cut out to prove himself capable of replacing the
old War Horse Casey Stengel. Age may be a slowing down factor
to the White Sox but the acquisition of Juan Pizarro and Cal
McFish could give them that added uplift needed to keep in the
running. Showing improvement over last season are the Cleveland
Indians.

Pirates National League Favorites

In the National League it is said that this League is more
balanced than any ever before in the history of the game. The
Pittsburgh Pirates are the favorites. Also standing a good chance
are the Milwaukee Braves. Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals,
and the San Francisco Giants to cop the National League Pennant.

This baseball season will offer fans the thrill and excitement
of trying to predict a winner for both leagues.

Spring Probation
Brightens Campus

By Norman B Elmore

As the spring season arrived.
so did the annual probation and
initiation period for the Greek
Letter Organizations h,ere on
campus. There was a multiplicity
of hilarity witnessed on campus
as a result of the singing, duck-
ing, dancing, marching, and
funny stunts performed by the
various probates. At the height
of the noon hour, the fun seemed
to reach its zenith. All of the
groups were assembled in front
of the Bandstand and each
probate group tried to out per-
form all of the other groups in
order to please their most Honor-
able Greeks (Big Sisters) and
the Noble Greeks iBig Brothers).
Some groups sang identical songs
and performed crazy stunts thus
causing the grand performances
to be more comical than ever.

The neophytes (new sorors and
f raters) became members of the
various sorities and fraternities
on campus DELTA SIGMA

Dormitory Gives
Pa jama Parly

By Lucile Lamar

The residents of Camilla
Hubert Hall sponsored a Pajama
Party, in the dormitory lobby,
April nth.

One might wonder, "Just what
is a Pajama Party"^ A pajama
party is merely a gathering of
young ladies to play games, chat
and relax. Refreshments are
served so that the evening will
be cooled from the hot dis-
cussions that may occur. These
discussions vary from politics to
"how to hook a man." After all
is said and done, the evening is
truly one that inspires women to
appreciate the art of utilizing
"Leisure Time."

Staff Ft rsoiiality of the Month

By Richard Coger

This column is designed to give the students an oppor-
tunity lo know a little of the personal background of staff
members who work tirelessly to better the college.

This issue of the Tiger's Roar is citing a personality warm and
pleasant in the name of Mrs. Clayae H. Watson, director of Wright
Hall Dormitory.

Mrs. Watson was educated m the public schools of Raleigh,

North Carolina and attended Shaw University,

In 1929, Mrs. Watson married the late Mr,

Junius Watson. She has two daughters, Mrs. C.

Faskins and Mrs. F, H. Cuthin who is employed

by the Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania, as a medical social worker.

^9' .^ Mrs. Watson is an ardent sports fan and has

^m^ J^gt toured both Europe and Australia. In her travel-

^^^^^^H| ing, she attended the Brussels World Far,

^^^^^^^" Brussels, Belgium.

Mrs. Watson In the fall of 1960, Mrs. Watson became the

director of Wright Hall Dormitory. Last year,
she was assistant director of Holmes Hall, dormitory for girls at
Clark College. Atlanta. Georgia.

Mrs. Watson's willing attitude to help others beyond the line
of duty has inspired the men in Wright Hall to take a cleaner ap-
proach to college life.

Again the writer of this column is proud to present this dis-
tinguished personality; a world traveler who has varied added ex-
periences to the SSC family.

Where Is Your Shangri-la?

(Continued from Pa^e 4)

In the end. each of us must find
his own Shangri-la.

This is exactly what more and
more Americans are doing each
year. The search for romantic
places is taking Americans all
around the world and making us
the most travel conscious people
in history.

Somewhere, for everyone, there
is a place where the grass is al-
ways green, the house never de-
preciates and love flourishes in
the moonlight. But even if you
never get out of your armchair,
it will do your dormant corpus-
cles good to pick your paradise.

Mild Indians

Six Sioux chiefs, visiting New
York City and waiting for a
luncheon table at a restaurant,
were asked by the hostess. "Have
you a reservation?" "Yep," said
one. "In South Dakota."

presented to Mrs. Mattie B.

both Doctors of Medicine, and is
presently the grandmother of
two fine boys. She is an astute
counselor at the Alfred E. Beach
High School of Savannah, and
is very active in church and com-
munity affairs.

William Golden, editor of The
Tiger, stated, "In recognition of
our 'First Lady,' for her out-
standing achievements and the
fine example she is setting for
'finer womanhood,' we humbly

dedicate The 1961 Tiger."

An excerpt from the thirty-
first chapter of Proverbs was
used in the dedicatory remarks
to convey the feelings of the
Tiger staff and the entire college
family, upon selecting Mrs,
Payne for this honor.

According to information re-
leased by Dr. William K. Payne,

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

MY KIND OF DEMOCRACY

By Wiiliam D, Hagins

AMERICA HOLDS THE HOPE OF THE WORLD

President Theodore Roosevelt once said "We here in America,
hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming
years; and shame and disgrace will be ours if in our eyes the light
of high resolve is dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden hopes
of men!!" Yes, we here in America hold the fate of the entire
world, and it up to us to maintain this position for the hope of
the Western world. We cannot afford to be overcome by Russia
and her satellite countries, if so the world would be governed by
a dictator instead of the people.

Americans must be urged to wake up and begin to realize what
is before them. They must show the world that the democratic
form of government is the human way of life. A government in
the hands of the people and not in a ruling class or person cannot
promote. Point out to them the importance of free education,
freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom of the right to live
in the pursuit of happiness.

America can then undoubtedly show to the people behind the
Iron Curtain that the United States has men capable of leading
them out ot darkness of communism and into the light of a true
democracy.

After this factor has been proven to the world, the high ideas
and morals that America stands for will give the depressed coun-
tries in the world a feeling of confidence in regard to world peace.

Need a Suininer Job? Make Your Own!

"Cash for trash, mice for a
price, and bucks for books will
enable teen-agers with imagina-
tion, initiative, and ingenuity to
make money this summer," de-
clares Russell J. Fornwalt, who
has counseled more than 7,000
boys and girls on employment
problems. "If you cannot find a
job this summer, then, by all
means, make your own." advises
Mr, Fornwalt.

In order to assist teen-agers
and college students everywhere,
Mr. Fornwalt has dug deep
down in his files and compiled
a helpful and unique new book-
let, "99 WAYS FOR TEEN-
AGERS TO EARN MONEY DUR-
ING THE SUMMER."

It is packed with all kinds of
practical and profitable ideas
which have been tested money
makers for boys and girls in
many parts of the country. The
booklet also tells teen-agers how
to set up a profitable business of

their own and lists 10 ways for
getting customers and making
sales. The 24 page booklet has
been published by THE AD-
VANCEMENT and PLACEMENT
INSTITUTE, an occupational in-
formation service for the field
of education since 1952. It is
now available for 50 cents from
the Institute at 173 N. 9th St.,
Brooklyn 11, N. Y. Quantity
rates will be furnished on re-
quest.

This is the same Institute
which publishes the well known
SUMMER PLACEMENT DIREC-
TORY that is used by over 1500
colleges and thousands of indi-
viduals each summer to obtain
interesting and well paying sum-
mer jobs. Copies can be exam-
ined at most University Place-
ment or Deans' offices, college
and public libraries, and school
superintendents' offices or ob-
tained in book stores or from
the Institute for $3.00.

"Mental Quiet
Room'' Effective
Tranquilizer

A useful substitute for tran-
quilizers free, always available
and effective is proposed by a
world-famous physician in an
article in the June Reader's Di-
gest.

The substitute is a "mental
quiet room," a peaceful quarter
of the mind into which each of
us can retire at will to shed ten-
sions and troubles and to re-
store ourselves.

Says Doctor Maxwell Maltz.
author of the article and noted
plastic surgeon: "Ifs my belief
that each personality is
equipped with a center which,
like the deep of the ocean is
never disturbed." We need to
find this "quiet center."

Finding it may be difficult,
says Doctor Maltz, but is well
worth the effort. As a start,
learn to control so-called "auto-
matic" responses. Next time the
phone rings, for example, don't
jump to answer it. Let it ring.
Once you learn to control your
responses to such external stim-
uli, you'll find it easier to con-
trol your emotional responses.

Such control, once achieved, is
the key to your quiet room, your
mental vacation spot. Like a
real vacation place, it should be
equipped with favorite scenes
images of famous paintings
melodies from music you enjoy
beloved lines of poetry. Says
Dr. Maltz: "Above all, keep in
mind that the key to the mat-
ter of whether you are disturbed
or tranquil, fearful or composed,
is not the external stimulus, but
your own response."

His article. "How to Stand Up
Under Stress," is condensed from
the book, "psycho-cybernetics,"
published by Prentis-Hall. Inc.

The four weeks session in July
will begin on the 24th and end
on August 18 with concentration
in Library Science. Cataloging

THE TIGER'S ROAR

By Redell Walton, Sports Editor

BASKETBALL OUTLOOK

FOR 1961-62 SEASON

The basketball outlook for the 1961-62 season looks extremely
bright for the Savannah State Tigers. Coach Teddy Wright, maker
of champions, will have one of the best developed squads among
small colleges in ihe country, reports Marion Jackson. Sports Editor
of The Atlanta Daily World. The squad will lose only one varsity
player, Alphonso S. McLean, at graduation. Composed of tlie same
starters for the last three seasons, the Tigers will sport a seasoned
senior team. This team came here in 1958. and as the years pro-
gressed have won local, state and national honors for tlie college.

L0^T ONLY ONE CONFERENCE GAME IN 3 YEARS

Only one game in the S.E.A.C. conference was lost in the last
three years by Wright's little giants. The team also boasts a three
year conference and tournament championship win record. Having
traveled to Kansas City, Mo., twice to participate in the N.A.I. A.
National Tournament, the Tigers have beaten some of the nation's
top negro colleges. Listed among tliem are Florida A & M Univer-
sity, Southern University, Grambling College, winners of the 1961
N.A.I.A. Tourney; Morris Brown College, Clark College. Morehouse
College, Benedict College, Allen University, Fort Valley State Col-
lege and others. Last season the Tigers made a good showing
against nationally rated Tennessee A & I University and Winston
Salem College in the Atlanta, Georgia Invitational Tournament.

RETURNING LETTERMEN

Returning- lettermen will have their work cut out in patterns
when Coach Wright tosses up the ball for the first fall practice.
Among the returning lettermen are WiUie Tate, James Dixon, Ira
Jackson. Stephen Kelly, Johnny Mathis. Raymond Harper, Harvey
Bailey. All American (NAIA) Redell Walton, and William Day.

All in all the 1961-62 basketball season should prove to be one
of the best ever seen at Savannah State College.

A Salute to Editor McLean

By Redell Walton

The entire staff of the Tiger's
Roar would like to pay tribute
to one who has contributed to
the betterment of our newspa-
per, Editor-in-Chief, Alphonso
McLean. McLean is one of the
most versatile students on cam-
pus. He served as vice president
of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity;
played a leading role in the re-
cent College Playhouse produc-
tion, "Tiger at the Gates"; a
four-year member of the varsity
basketball squad; a member of
the 14th Annual Men's Festival
planning committee; Public Re-
lations Director of the Savannah
Midtown Chamber of Commerce;
columnist and editor for the
Around Our Town magazine;
and a free lance writer and pho-
tographer for the Herald Weekly
Newspaper. McLean is a dedi-
cated student, and has shown

great Interest in the develop-
ment of the entire college and
student body.

McLean is graduating this
June, with a major concentra-
r ^^^ tion in business

' ^fljl^^ a d m i nistration.
^^^^^k He graduated
f ^ ^ fi'O'" Alfred E.
** ^ 'jj Beach High
School, Savan-
nah. Georgia.
He enrolled at
SBC in Septem-
ber of 1957. In

Editor McLean

my opinion, if

we had more students on the
campus who have as much in-
terest in the college student
body as McLean, the develop-
ments and advancements here
would be inestimable.

Again, our sincere appreciation
goes to Editor-in-Chief Alphonso
McLean.

New Careers for 30,000
"Prograiiiiuing''"' Computers

Ten years ago the occupation
was barely known but today
30.000 young Americans liave
found new careers in it. This is
programming the new electronic
computer machines which are
solving many problems in sci-
ence and business faster than
was previously possible.

The field is growing so fast
that no able performer will lack
work in the next ten years. So
reports Robert O'Brien in a June
Reader's Digest article. "People
Who Talk With Machines."

Today's almost miraculous
computing machines can, in the
time it takes to light a cigarette.
make calculations that would
occupy the v/aking hours of a
man with a desk calculator for
two and a half months. But
without people these electronic
genies are spaghetti-like tangles
of wires.

They must have instructions
fed into them on punched cards.

paper or magnetic tape. A set
of Instructions to control one
problem, or machine "run," is
called a program. This is liow
programmers got their name :
tliey write the programs that
tell computers what to do. and
how to do it.

The job demands two clear-
cut qualifications: an analytical
orderly mind, and a regard for
detail that borders on the ob-
sessive. Many programmers have
a passion for puzzles, mathe-
matical games or chess.

A high percentage depend on
music for relaxation. Robert Be-
mer of International Business
Machines, at 41 one of the older
programmers, has mastered 15
musical instruments. A young
lady programmer is an authority
on medieval and Renaissance in-
struments and is constructing a
clavichord in her spare time.

The article is condensed from
Rotarian.

By Veronica Owens

Two young lovers starry-eyed,
there on a moonlit beach;

Dreaming and oh, so satisfied,
as if Heaven is in their
reach.

Standing barefeet in the sand,
caressed by waves of love;

They reminisce both hand in
hand, and watch the sky
above.

The big, bright, moon shines
down on them, while in
their rhapsody;

And sparkling stars that look
like "gems," makes all sheer
"Ecstacy."

As if by magic, music's heard;
roaring waves couldn't even
erase.

Too filled with love to utter a
word, they share their first
embrace.

The "fascinating rythm" gay.
have both their souls pos-
sessed;

The art of dancing they convey,
as they whirl with unusual
zest.

The tide emerging to the .shore,
a sight Ihey both admire;

Neither could a^k for anything
more, as their warmth be-
comes desire.

Never let this moment end, both
make thla silent plea;

A thought of love makes them
both grin, we love this "Ec-
stacy."

This "wonderland" they are con-
vinced is an ideal place for
romance;

Tliey both become strangely
tense, give our "young love"
a chance.

Here they would come forever
more, for they found eternal
bliss;

The atmosphere they did adore,
and shared the splendor of
their first kiss.

Their vows are written in the
sand, she wrote "Je vous
alme beaucoup";

He whispered 'Tm at your com-
mand, my darling I love you,
too,

Dreamy-eyed they say good-bye,
to this Paradise by the sea;

For. obviously, it is the reason
why, they shared such "Ec-
stacy."

Final Exam

A young teacher, looking har-
assed, came into the school of-
fice and asked for one of the
IQ-test forms. When asked what
he was going to do with just one
test, he replied, "Oh, I just want
to find out if it's them or me!"

Men''s Fashions

By Charles Phillips

Spring and summer fashions
show a similarity to last season
with only a few exceptions. Last
year, if you will recall, the styles
scene played cotton cord suits.
Now to the cord line this season
is a unique and different fabric
made of dacron and cotton. This
material is called poplin.

It is completely washable, and
it holds a crease longer. The
trousers are tapered for that
slim ivy effect, and have plain
fronts, that is without pleats.
These trousers come in a variety
of colors; such as olive, ivy
black, sea-green and tan. The
suit is a three-button ivy model
with lap-seams on the shoulder,
lapel and the back of the coat.
It has flap pockets. This suit
can also be purchased in the
same colors as the trousers.

The other addition to the
fashion family is the seersucker
suit. In addition to being fash-
ionable, cool, and crisp, this ma-
terial is washable. It comes in
dacron and cotton. It has natu-
ral shoulders, straight-hanging
lines, flap pockets, and a cen-
tral vent. This suit comes in
blue on white stripe, olive on
white stripe, and brown on white
stripe. It can also be gotten in
a green plaid of various muted
colors.

Sport coats, trousers, and
shirts are also made of this ma-
terial. The shirts are ivy, of
course, with button-down col-
lars. Another shirt in the sport-
light is the batiste madras,
which is a truly wonderful ma-
terial, that is completely wash-
able. Also oxfords that are ta-
pered at the sleeves, and the
.sides for that snug fit. Both of
these shirts come in white,
maize, tan, sea-green, and blue.

Faculty Personality
Of the Year

By Veronica Owens

The faculty personality chosen
by the Tiger's Roar staff to be
in this edition of the paper is
Elonnie J, Josey, the librarian
at Savannah State College. He
was born in Norfolk, Virginia,
and educated in the public
schools of Portsmouth, Virginia.
He is a veteran of World War II,

Mr. Josey is a graduate of
Howard University where he re-
ceived the A,B, degree in His-
tory, Then he matriculated at
Columbia University and re-
ceived the M.A. degree in His-
tory; his professional training in
Librarianship was done at the
State University of New York
where the M.S.L.S. was con-
ferred.

Among the positions he has
held in various professional ca-
pacities are : Desk Assistant,
Journalism Library, Columbia
University; Technical Assistant.
New York Public Library; Li-
brarian at Free Library of Phila-
delphia ; Instructor of Social
Sciences, Savannah State Col-
lege 11954-55); Librarian. Dela-
ware State College ( 1955-59 1 ;

sociated Professor. Savannah

ware State Department of Pub-
lic Instruction, School Librarian
Certification Revision Commit-
tee, in this organization Mr.
Josey was asked to serve as re-
corder of the group. He is now

MR. JOSEY

State College Research Commit-
tee, and he is a member of the
Projects Committee of the Li-
brary Section of G.T.E.A. and
recently named Chairman of the
Scholarship Committee.

Mr, Josey's philosophy of Li-
brary Service for the academic
community is that "the college
library undergirds the instruc-
tional program. The college
library is not an adjunct to the
teaching program but the very
foundation of a sound academic
program. The College Library
has the sacred duty of institut-
ing lifetime reading habits.
Therefore, the hbrary should
provide recreational, as well as
curricular materials.

The members of The Tiger's
Roar staff are very proud to
have Mr. Elonnie J. Josey join
the other faculty personalities
of the month being spotlighted.

LAUGHTER, THE BEST MEDICINE

A tearful matron phoned the reducing salon to wail that her
husband had just given her a lovely present, and she couldn't get
into it.

The operator gave her an appointment, and then added sooth-
ingly, "Don't worry, madam, we'll have you wearing that dress in
no time."

"Who said anything about a dress?" she sobbed. It's a 'Volks-
wagen!" IThe Reader's Digest)

A Cliarge to the Seniors

By "Gem"

Dedicated to the 1961 June
Graduates

Like a child who has grown up
and must leave home.

Each member of the Class of
sixty-one prepares to sail.

The force of the waves of the sea
of life is uncertain;

The horizon seems so far away.

Life at SSC has been blissful,
But to grow further each must

venture on.
Seniors, we will miss you,
But we must let you go.

Make decisions, leave room for
changes.

Be optimistic, but always level
headed.

Make your future a grand fu-
ture.

Make your life well lived.

Don't give up when the way is

dark ;
Rise up if you should fall.
Seniors, our seniors, the Class of

sixty-one,
This is our charge to you.

A JUNIOR'S PRAYER

By Mam:
Heavenly Father, may these
young people in the Class of
sixty-one who are about to
launch a new voyage on the sea
of life, have all the faith, cour-
age, hope, and ambition indica-
tive of a graduate of our insti-
tution.

May they have scholarship,
leadership, and character, but
most of all, may they remain In
close contact with Thee. May
they always reflect the very best
upon our institution. Dear Lord,
may they remember that things

mie Green

will not always be as they wish
them to be. Help them to know
that Thou has many things for
them to do of which they may
not be aware. Give them strength
to continue life's struggle until
the finish line Is reached. May
their accomplishments serve as
beacons to all of us who must
follow, and may we be able to
serve in ways which may be of
value to them.

Having done their best in this
present world, may they be re-
warded with eternal life In Thy
Kingdom. Amen.

Dr. W, K, Payne. President, ad-
dressed the Savannah State Col-
lege family at the first All-
College Assembly for the summer
session. He spoke from the topic
"New Frontiers in Education,"
and emphasized the intellectual
and educational frontiers in col-
leges. In order to succeed train-
ing, skill, thinking and vision
are required; opportunities, both
open and closed, are important.
He spoke of the need for ac-
curacy, ability, speed and learn-
ing on all age levels in order to
succeesfuUy face the coming
frontiers which are the frontiers
of efficiency, and of ability to
produce- The great challenge of
the educated, he indicated, is to
attack problems on the basis of
the real frontiers we face; to
learn thoroughness for ourselves.
for society and for world ac-
complishments. Education, he
said, is not determined by size,
loudness, or intentions, but by
skill and by accuracy exhibited.
It is concerned with learning,
not with going to school.

In conclusion President Payne
said the most dangerous frontier
is that of living where there are
no artificial barrows. To live in

harmony and peace is the goal,
and this goal places serious
responsibility on us in extending

POLITICS AND WORLD NEWS

By Samuel M. Truell

What Happened at the Vienna Summit?

Recently, President Kennedy conveyed to the nation that his
rendezvous with Soviet Premier Khrushchev at Vienna was somber,
and that there were no concessions granted by either of the two,
and that both tooit a firm stand on their ideologies and beliefs.
From this we can see that this meeting accomplished nothing In
these antagonistic moments in our history.

The only virtue of the meeting is that the two leaders met face
to face for the first time, however, this was sidetracked with what
is commonly known as dictatorial diplomacy. Mr. Kennedy and
Mr. Khrushchev met for approximately three hours without even
the presence of Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Evidently Mr. Ken-
nedy adopted his arbitrary policies from his idol Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who allegedly sold Poland to the late Joseph Stalin.

Is this indicative of the New Frontier? This writer certainly
hopes it is not. The Soviet premier revealed information to the
Communist world that the President held back from members of
the Free World concerning the highly controversial Berlin crises.
This and other paramount issues has left our representatives in
Washington puzzled as to what actually happened at Vienna.

I am sure that Americans everywhere hope that if the time
should ever present itself again, the chief executive will secure an
extensive coverage of diplomacy in the American tradition in lieu
of the sanctioning of our allies. But, most of all we hope with
utmost sincerity that if such a meeting should again present itself
something concrete will materialize, rather than a social get-
together between echelons of governments.

Freedom For Berlin

Freedom is of paramount importance to West Berliners, and
the United States, as the leader of the free world, and her allied
friends of NATO must ascertain this by more than mere intentions
and lip service. We should make it known to the Communists that
we will meet our obligations to Berlin, and that we will at any time,
if necessary, defend and fight for West Germany. Only when this
becomes a reality will the Communists lay off Berlin and her
contemporaries. Surely, Americans recollect the Lebanon crises,
and the Marines that were dispatched there by former President
Eisenhower to cool things off. Mr. Khrushchev understands militant
action.

These steps are essential simply because West Berlin must re-
main free as a collective representation to all Oppressed nations.
Berlin must divorce her chaotic conditions because she is a symbol
of freedom and hope to troubled people everywhere.

Mayor Willy Brandt and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer appealed
to the Reds to grant East Berlin with free elections, and conse-
quently the right to decide her own fate. Subsequently Brandt and
Adenauer were explicit in relating to the Reds that West Berlin
would resist communistic threats with every available force at its
disposal, even if she has to defend with rocks and stones as did
her contemporaries. East Berlin.

Now, this is all the western allies needs to know, and they
should be willing and ready to aid and help the Berliners in their
prolonged fight against Communist aggression. This writer does
not believe in nor cater to war. but it is absolutely necessary that
vigorous action be brought against the Communists to teach them
a lesson and to prove to them that we mean business when we say
"lay off Berlin"! It is high time for a victory in the cold war,
especially after the catastrophic Cuban invasion.

But one must pay for his blunders and we Americans have paid
a costly price for the errors and miscalculations of the incumbent
administration. With all sincerity, Americans are hoping that the
administration has learned a lesson from the Cuban mishap, and
will heretofore labor premeditation before resorting to action. Never-
theless, the administration has suffered deeply and will now refrain
from hasty decisions.

Students Find Americans Not Virtuous, Not Indignant

"The average American is a warm, individualistic person em-
bodied with skill and daring, more human than superhuman. Self
complacent, and oftn apathetic strongly opinionated, highly social,
naive but in a complex manner, and boastful when in a foreign
port." The aforementioned statements are impressions of Americans
made by foreign students attending American Universities across
the coxintry,

Hiroshi Takano, a leader of the Communist inspired riots that
prevented former President Eisenhower's visit to Japan a year ago,
no7/ after careful evaluation likes capitalism, but was more im-
pressed by the individualistic nature of Americans. The students
believed that Hollywood, the press and conservatism painted a very
bad picture of Americans to their foreign contemporaries,

MY KIND OF DEMOCRACY

By William D, Hagins

It has often been said that the United States practices what
she advocates. This is quite true in some instances. We here in the
United States try to preach the idea of democracy abroad, but here
in America the Negro is not given a chance to buy a ten cent cup
of coffee, or to eat a hardy meal without going back to their place
of residence.

This so-called democracy must cease in America, if America
wants to remain a democratic country. Our courts must show the
white people that their word is the law and they must carry them
out or be subject to punishment. The whites in the South must
come into the new standard of hving, and try to live happy with
the Negro.

It is not the young people of the majority group who are
showing animosity against the Negro, it is the older generation.
They are showing hatred because they are scared to lose their reign
of supremacy which they have been accustomed to having. But
they do not realize that all the Negro wants is a chance to show
the world that he can help bring peace and good will to America.

No America, the Negro is not ignorant anymore. When the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments were passed,
which gave the right of citizenship to everyone, the Negro im-
mediately started to educate himself because he realized that
education was the only answer for the future. The future has
arrived for the Negro and he is ready to try to write new annals in
American history, IF he is given a chance.

Slimmer School
Enrollment

The regular summer school
session held annually at Savan-
nah State College officially be-
gan on June 13. 1961

As is characteristic of summer
school, there are numerous new
faces around the campus. This
change is accredited to the fact
that besides the continuing stu-
dents resuming their studies.
there are also recent graduates
beginning freshman courses, and
teachers taking courses.

This year's enrollment is rela-
tively average in comparison
with last year's. This summer
school enrollment totals 473.
which is a moderate decline
from last year's 601. Neverthe-
less, the intellectual atmosphere
remains the same.

Included in this year's summer
school program are elementary
school, secondary school, read-
ing and science workshops which
are being held dally.

Alcoholism: A Threat to You?

An alcoholic may feel terribly alone but he isn't. For every
alcoholic, five people are personally affected. Indirectly, all of us
are affected.

There are five million alcoholics in the U, S. today, according
to the National Council on Alcoholism, and the disease costs a total
of a billion dollars a year a conservative estimate. Where does the
money go? To pay for hospital, prison, and welfare expense . . . the
loss to industry . . . the accidents caused by alcoholism.

That's why alcoholism is a threat to you even if you never
took a drink in your life, even if you never will. That's why you
should know something about it. and do something about it.

Most people, when they think of an alcoholic, imagine some
bleary-eyed, ill-smelling, unshaven bum in filthy rags.

It might surprise them to learn that most alcoholics have well-
paying jobs, children, nice homes. They may be gifted, sensitive,
charming. One may be president of your board of education . . .
your butcher . , , your bowling pal. He may be your relative.
Your next-door neighbor. You.

Few recognize them. And few of them can or will recognize
themselves-

These are the hidden alcoholics.

Look at these statistics: 75 million Americans (67% of all
adults) drink; of them, one in 15 has a drinking problem; and of
these 97% are not on skid row.

Alcoholism, according to the American Medical Association, is
a disease like cancer, like TB. And in terms of incidence, It ranks
fourth-

A heavy drinker need not be an alcoholic. The heavy drinker
may be able to stop drinking. An alcoholic cannot.

Oh, he may stop for a few days, even weeks, even montiis. But
he'll start again. He has to. He needs alcohol as desperately as
some diabetics need their insulin. Only many alcoholics don't even
know they're sick, let alone that they can be helped.

THE DANGER LINE

The National Council on Alcoholism lists these stages In. be-
coming a problem drinker,

1 You drink socially, beer and other low-alcoholic drinks.
There is no set pattern to your drinking,

2 You get drunk with some regularity. You begin having
blackouts no, you don't pass out. You just forget, you have a
memory blank.

3 You gulp your drinks instead of siping them. And you sneak
drinks. Liquor has become important in your Ufe and you don't
like to think about it, or to talk about It. At this point, you can

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL to, ahh . . .

Lots of Spice

The Faculty Personality of the Month

By Samuel Truell

The rise of the Detroit Tigers and the Cincinnati Reds as
pennant contenders is shocking to baseball fans everywhere from
Maine to the Rockies. Last year both teams finished remotely in
the second division and it was anticipated by the pre-season
diamond league that the Redlegs of the National League would
run a repeat performance.

As of now the two teams performance has contradicted the
fortune-telling of baseball writers and sports commentators alike.
Cincinnati and Detroit are leading the National and American
Leagues respectively. The bulk of the Reds success can be attributed
to the excellent pitching of two young men, Joey Jay (10-4) and
Ken -Hunt i8-3). These two brilliant hurlers are strongly backed
by the super 6 hitting Prank Robinson and Vada Pinson. During
the month of June. Pinson upped his batting average 100 points
to a neat 3.20.

The Tiger's success can be summarized as follows: The powerful
hitting of Norm Cash, Rocky Colovits. veteran Al Kaline and the
acquired additions of speedy Bill Bruton and Rookie Jake Wood
who is a leading candidate for the rookie-of-the-year honors.

Another reason for the Tiger's success is due to their good pitch-
ing. Their triumphant Prank Lary, Jim Bunning and Phil Reagan
have compiled a satisfactory twenty-five victories between them-
selves. Regan has gone the distance in seven games.

Cash, who until now never could quite make the starting lineup.
is now leading the American League with a respectable 3.67 batting
average accompanied by 24 circuit blows and 66 runs batted in.

This writer believes the two teams are having a bit of luck,
as did the world champion Pittsburgh Pirates last year, and subse-
quently will cool off after the AU-Star games. My predictions how
the clubs will be situated in the first division of both leagues come
season's end are as follows:

National League

1. Los Angeles

2. Milwaukee

3. Cincinnati

4. San Francisco

American League

1. New York

2. Chicago

3. Cleveland

4. Detroit

5. Baltimore

CREATIVE POETRY

The Destruction
Of Sophistication

By "Gem"

Some folks assume many roles
which they play everyday,

Yet, there are those who never
play any roles.

But of all the artificial persons,
there is but one kind who
hurts:

The one who finds out that he's
nothing what he thought him-
self to be.

All his dreams are fantasies,

All ideals fallible.

He discovers, much to his sorrow,
that his life is but a sham.

One moment of awareness, one
brief and terrifying moment.

All the years of one's existence
and all the joys one's known
are shattered during this
ephemeral time.

Oh, how sad it is to live (or think
you've living).

For sometimes, many "blissful"
years,

Only to find out that you have
only been existing.

Existing, pretending, living a
perennial lie.

You realize that there were times
you were in conflict

With yourself. But accepting that
as natural.

You continue to exist exist in
a vaccum.

Slowly, surely, sorrowfully, sorely,
sophistication

Ebbs away, and in its place

comes bewilderment.
Where shall I turn, what can I

do, how do I start?
These are the questions you'll

constantly ask.
But often you find that there's

no one who knows the

answers.

By Rosemary McBride

Summer fashions will take on
a carefree casualness for the
coed this summer. Outfits are in
the making and they will be in
combinations ranging fro m
skirts and blouses to popovers
and walks.

Play skirts are above the
knees, and for ease of movement
and linear grave, the culotte is
a natural.

Going together in startling
and unexpected combinations is
what colors are doing this sum-
mer. One outstanding combina-
tion is a dress and jacket suit
in pink, tobacco, and black.
There is lots of black and white
dashed with other colors such
as lemon, tobacco, or -parrot
green. There are miles and miles
of Roman stripes. One in par-
ticular is a smashing dress in
mustard, red, navy blue, and
white jersey.

This summer, coed, do not
worry about your skin. For at
this moment a night cream
exists that may well begin the
age of angelness for women.

The faith you thought once pro-
found just doesn't seem to
exist.

Life becomes sheer oblivion.

Ah, how grand it is to live a life
that is "real."

A life that is "certain." Not
always filled with fear.

Adventure, adversity, audacity,
and strife;

Words. Words tinged witli ex-
citement.

The excitement sought by many
fools

Sailing on the rough waves of
Ufe.

On the stage one calls life, many
actors play their roles.

Some overact, some underact,
and some do just their share.

The actor who suffers most is
the one who rushes

From one act to the next; only
to discover that many lines
and gestures were skipped.

Like an adorned general stripped

of all his medals,
Or a knight who lost his armor,

You go through the motion of
living.

You try to pretend you're
pleased.

You endeavor to camouflage the
aches you feel

And the regrets you will never
forget.

Back at the bottom! Not know-
ing where to start,

You pick up the pieces of the
life you've lived.

Though you're now unhappy,
feel pleased if you're fortunate

Enough to know that your life's
been wrecked, but with

Determination you can live on.
Don't look back, don't ever cry.

Look toward tomorrow with
gleam in your eyes. Tomorrow
does exist.

Ccinipus Spotlight

By Verdelle Lambert

Portrait of a musical minister:
Willie Williams. Jr. He is soft-
spoken, amiable, and quick of
wit.

Willie is a senior majoring in
mathematics and minoring in
biology. He is vice president of
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, a
member of the College Play-
house, and a member of The
Tiger Staff.

Willie began his matriculation
at Savannah State College in
1949, Shortly thereafter he joined
the Air Force, Upon his return
to State, he found himself in a
different environment.

"I think that the caliber of
students at the college now, as
opposed to the caliber of stu-
dents when I first entered, is to
a large extent more progressive
and more education-minded."
he commented.

As for his musical activities,
Willie plays the alto saxophone
in a five-piece band called "The
Preacher and the Deacons. ["
Naturally with a name like that,
the music couldn't be anything
but heavenly.

Willie's hobbies are reading,
playing tennis, and collecting
jazz records. His favorite record-
ing is "The Sermon," by Jimmy
Smith.

"The world is yours for a
prayer and a smile and hard
work," This is Willie's philosophy
of life, and a good one it is too.
At the present time, he is the
itinerant minister at Townsley
Chapel. After graduation he
plans to attend the Theology
Seminary at Shaw University.

The Campus Spotlight takes
pleasure in presenting Willie
Williams, Jr., as its outstanding
personality of the month.

By Norman B. Elmore

That new, dashing, pleasant.
and jovial personality whom you
have encountered on our campus,
is none other than Dr. Forrest
Gran Wiggins. Professor and
Chairman of the Division of
Humanities.

As witnessed by an address
given by Dr. Wiggins shortly
after his arrival at Savannah
State College, one can readily
deduce that he is a scholar of
subtle profundity.

Dr. Wiggins received his ele-
mentary and high school educa-
tion from tlie local schools of
Indianapolis, Indiana. He is the
recipient of the Bachelor of
Science degree in English from
Butler University, the Master of
Arts degree in Philosophy, and
the Doctor of Philosophy degree
from the University of Wis-
consin,

Our distinguished faculty
member has done considerable
study in the field of Modern
Languages at universities in both
Mexico and France. Among the
many honors received by Dr,
Wiggins, he has functioned as
both Department Fellow and
Post-doctorate Research Fellow
in Philosophy at the University
of Wisconsin.

Dr. Wiggins has served on the
faculties of the following insti-
tutions: Morehouse. Bishop,
Louisville Municipal, and North
Carolina Colleges, as well as
those of Minnesota. Howard,
Johnson C. Smith, and Allen
Universities.

Our personality of the month
is affiliated with the American
Philosophy Association. the
Metaphysical Society of America,
and the American Association of
University Professors.

Dr. Wiggins is the author of
a vast amount of published
articles in his field, so vast that
there is not adequate space to
list them.

Seemingly cosmopolite and
ever-seeking to gain additional
knowledge and to broaden his
horizons, our subject has
traveled extensively in Haittl,
Canada, France, Switzerland,
Germany, Italy, and Mexico. Dr.
Wiggins states that he has
always been very Impressed by
pleasure trips during his foreign
travel.

Dr. Wiggins Is the proud hus-
band of Mrs. Nell D. Wiggins, a
teacher by occupation, and Is
the pride and joy of two chil-
dren, Ernest and Florence. Play-
ing bridge Is one of his most
entertaining hobbies.

The members of the staff of
the Tiger's Roar are indeed
proud to have Dr. Forrest Oran
Wiggins join the ranks of other
distinguished faculty members
who have been spotlighted.

Ivy League vs. Presidential Two-Button

By Percy L. Harden

The American styling creates
a new tempo in fashions. Every-
where you go in the United
States there is a well-dressed
man.

As you know. President Ken-
nedy is youthful, dynamic,
vigorous, and very business-like.
My question is: Will his two-
button suits exert a fashion in-
fluence on men's clothes?

The two-button suit of the
President has not taken affect
on the college man yet. The
typical well-dressed college man
wears a light weight wash-and-
wear cord or dacron and cotton
poplin suit in the three-button
Ivy style in popular shades of
blue, olive green, or khaki. He
wears shirts in the Ivy style
which features the new snap-tab
collar and can be found in
several new shades. The tie is a
red (stripes, large or small) and
will match numerous different
outfits. Socks are solid and shoes

are Italian imports or Shell
Cordivans.

The picture has been painted
of a young, well-dressed Ameri-
can male. The question remains.
Will Mr. Kennedy be converted
to the Ivy League or will the
Ivy Leaguers make a drastic
change to the presidential two-
button suit? I might add that
Mr. JFK looks very Impressive
in the two-button model. If the
men should consider this style,
maybe by next issue we will have
a few converts.

Visiting Professors

Dr, M. A. Lee of Morgan State
College is on the Savannah State
College instructional staff for
the summer. He is conducting

SPORTS BRIEFS

By Samuel M. Truell

Savannah State College is optimistic about 61-62 basketball
season.

There is a very good outlook for the upcoming basketball season
here at Savannah State College. With the return of the triumphant
Redell Walton (AH American), Ira Jackson and Willie Tate. These
three will be backed by two very scintillating ball handlers, namely
Stephen Kelly and James Dixon.

The aforementioned players, along with their wise coach. Ted
Wright, are expected by everyone with even a minute knowledge
of sports, to make it three in a row to Kansas and, hence, the
NAIA tournament.

On the two previous visits to Kansas our boys gained valuable
experience, and this writer believes wholeheartedly that the mag-
nificent five's tournament experience and tricky ball handling will
compensate for what the team lacks in height. The team's only
liability is that of one Alphonso McLean which is a consequence
of June graduation. Mr, McLean's versatility will be highly missed
by everyone, but nevertheless we are everything pessimistic, and
consequently are hoping that the team will continue its magnificent
and hence perpetuate it's maneuverability and strength over the
opposition.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

July 21. 1961

Ediualioii For Creativity

Beginning in about 1946. theie is a new tempo in business.
The population explosion is very real indeed. The explosion m the
fields of research and development is likewise tremendous. It is
estimated that American businesses now spend as much for re-
search in one year as was spent in any ten years before World
War II There has also been an explosion in creativity of ideas,
not just the technical but the operational ones also. New business
systems, new business methods, operational research, automatic
data processing-the list is endless. To follow the methods of
yesteryear is to court disaster.

Competition, in all its forms, has been stepped up. New products
appear on the market daily. Old products are remodeled past all
recoenition. Imagineering is rampant, not just in the field of
engineering and research. New marketing concepts are developed
daily. Planned obsolescence, though controversial, is not an un-
common feature in American business.

In the light of these facts, what kind of a man does business
now demand of the colleges and universities? I would submit the
following tentative list of attributes: Bold thinking. Breadth of
thinking. Intellectual integrity. Intellectual toughness willingness
to battle for an idea. The innovative, approach the creative ap-
proach, Risk-taking.

It is difficult to single out from the above list the most vital
item, but I would suggest "creativity." In these times we need to
run fast just to stand still. International communism is battling
on the triple fronts of ideas, economics and the military. And they
are often winning; We need greater awareness of these things. We
are losing battles while many people don't even know there Is a war
going on.

We need new ideas most of all: Ideas about global strategy.
Ideas about the optium role of business in a cold war economy.
Ideas about maintaining a high standard of living while producing,
competitively in world markets, Ideas about maintaining an
idealistic viewpoint in the fact of cold, pragmatic opposition from
world communism.

Business cannot divorce itself from international affairs. Busi-
ness, no less than American labor, government or the teaching
profession, must carry its share of the burden of what we conceive
to be enlightened, forward-looking humanity.

Give us them, from the colleges and universities: Men who
have been taught^even forced if necessary to think for them-
selves. Men who distrust the obvious. Men who doubt the methods
of the past, Men who are able to conceptualize the future. Men
who have the boldness and imaginativeness to pioneer in the
development of new business systems and new businesses. Men who
have the ingenuity and drive to develop and reimprove new devices
and techniques.

We need men who have been schooled in the principles of
creativity and who dare to court the ridicule of the masses for the
sake of improving the lot of mankind.

You may well say. "Yes, but is business prepared to use these
bold young innovators? If we give them to you, will you use their
abilities to best advantage, or will you put them in the ancient
straitjacket of conformity?"

Frankly, we in the business world have much to do to prepare
to use these men. to further their development, to apply their
talents to the use of the organization. We need to learn better how
to recognize and reward clear and imaginative thinking. We need
to learn how to set up organizations in such a way as best to
foster Individual development and the production of fertile new
ideas. Failure to learn these lessons may spell doom for free
enterprise. We are now at the crossroads. We must reprice:
Enthusiasm. Ideas, Energy. Innovation.

And reward their possessors for to them belongs the future.
What is needed is not just a few courses in creativity although
that may be essential but whole new philosophy of business organ-
ization that will enable us to use bold new ideas, mold them into
the existing business, or reconstruct the business to fit the best of
the new ideas. We need the vision to see new business possibilities,
the wisdom to evaluate the risks, and the courage to march down
the road of innovation, while retaining the best of the values of
the past.

Difficult? Yes. but I submit to you that treading in the "safe
and ancient ways" in this day of constant change is by far the
riskiest road we could travel.

Politics and World News

(Continued from Page 2)

One African student contends that "Africans were confused
when they read of racial inequalities in our periodicals," But he
made it clear that African students are vicarious readers and that
they have cognizance of what's happening. All of the students
agreed that Americans were difficult to generalize. He is neither
good nor bad, devil nor saint.

Cartoon Quips

Nothing irks the hard-pressed college student more than shaking
out an envelope from home and finding nothing in it but news
and love.

The professor who comes in 15 minutes late is rare in fact, he's
in a class by himself.

The college basketball coaches are all interested in higher edu-
cation, and the closer they come to seven feet the better they like it.

Nowadays many college men live by the sweat of their frau.

Man at desk tc himself: "I wish I had a dental appointment to
cancel that always brightens my day."

Wife to husband struggling out of bed after an evening on the
town: "How would you like your aspirin this morning on the
rocks?"

Woebegone husband, loser in battle with his wife: "We got two
cars, two television sets, two bathrooms! How come we can't have
two opinions around here?"

Fortuneteller reading caslomer'.s palm: "You're a very gullible

f/oic to

Understand

Women

How can men avoid entangling
alliances with the fairer sex?
That has been the 64-dollar
question since the creation of
man-
In our modern society today,
the ever changing, unexplain-
able, puzzling, motive of a
woman cannot successfully be
figured out. The solving of this
problem has been attempted by
some of the greatest men of the
world.

The poet Otway wrote, "O
woman! lovely women! Nature
made thee to temper man; we
had been brutes without you.
Angels are painted fair, to look
like you; there is in you all that
we believe of heaven amazing
brightness, purity, and truth.
eternal joy. and everlasting
love."

There are many others like
Otway who have tried to explain.
"How to Understand Women."

Gib Supple, Ad Director of
Shulton. has compiled clues to
making a smash hit with Her
. , . and Her . . . and Her.

1. Know what to say. Most
women resent the condescending
"little woman" approach, so, if
you compliment her on her
knowledge of batting averages
or the international situation,
don't sound as if it's a miracle
that she knows these things.
Virtually every woman likes to
be proud of her man's intellect,
so profit from the example of a
gent who was famous for
among other things his ability
to converse on any topic. His
name: Giovanni Giacomo Casa-
nova.

2. Act devoted. Brush imagi-
nary dust from her shoulder,
holds hands under the dinner
table, touch your lips to the
glass her lips have touched.

3. Learn to read her signaJs.
Many men suspect and many
women cheerfully admit that
women have a language of their
own, expressed in tonal vari-
ations and pauses between words
as well as in the words them-
selves. You'll never speak it. but
for optimum success with bilin-
gual ladies, it behooves you to
understand a little of it.

4. Act jealous. A man who's
unreasonable within reasonable
limits, of course is one of the
most effective ego-builders a
woman can have. Therefore,
grumble a bit when she smiles
fetchingly at another man.

Forty In-Service
Teachers Enrolled
In Workshop

Forty in-service teachers
representing eighteen Georgia
Counties are enrolled in the ele-
mentary and secondary work-
shops, which are being held at
Sol C, Johnson Laboratory
School, Those participating in
the workshop are studying new
materials and methods of teach-
ing.

Raymond McKinlcy, instructor
at Lucy Laney High School,
Augusta, was elected general
chairman of the workshop. Mrs.
Emma D. Murray was elected
general secretary.

Last week Wilton C. Scott,
director of public relations at
Savannah State College, de-
livered an address to the group
on "Public Acceptance of Edu-
cation."

The workshop has been divided
into four groups, which are

(1) Improvement of Reading.

(2) Current Trends in Teaching,
(3 1 Influence of Cultural Factors
on Learning, and i4) Developing
a Curriculum,

Personnel conducting the
workshop are: Dr. Calvin L.
Kiah. director. Division of Edu-
cation, and Dr. Walter A. Mercer,

Share a Grin

Little Evelyn had been given
a ring as a birthday present.
but. much to her disappoint-
ment, not one of the guests at
dinner noticed it. Finally, un-
able to withstand their obtuse-
ness or indifference, she ex-
claimed:

"Oh. dear. I'm so warm in my
new ring!"

A beggar, whose face had been
a familiar one in the streets for
several years, applied one day
to one of his frequent benefac-
tors for employment.

"So you're going to work, eh?"
said the person applied to,
"Yes; I'm tired of begging."
"Why? Doesn't it pay?"
"No, sir. The milk of human
kindness is so watered these
days it won't declare any divi-
dends."

Alcoholism: A Threat to You?

(Continued from Page 2)

still stop drinking. But if you don't . . . you will have passed the
danger line.

4 You drink more than you planned to; you become drunk
when you planned not to; and you become extravagant with money
because of your new found confidence.

What becomes afterwards the "eye-opener," belligerence, self-
excuses, benders, self-hatred and resentment Ot otheii;. "the
shakes." hopelessness, and insanity or death may take months
... or even 10 to 20 years.

Estimates are that the total loss due to alcoholism is one billion
dollars.

The problem drinker himself loses an estimated 22 days of
work every year because of alcoholism, and two days more than
average because of illness. He has twice as many accidents, accord-
ing to studies made by Yale University, and he dies 12 years sooner
than he would if he didn't drink.

Of course, no one can measure the effects of broken homes,
miserable children, and unhappy friends and relatives in terms of
statistics or dollars and cents.

Some 10 years ago, it was generally accepted that alcoholism
was a moral issue. Today with more understanding of alcoholism,
more is being done to help alcoholics medically, psychiatrically,
institutionally, spiritually, and socially.

What you might do is learn all you can about the disease-
so you can recognize a problem drinker, so you can counsel him,
so you know where to guide him for help.

Information unbiased and unexaggerated is available from
the National Council on Alcoholism. Another organization that will
give help is Alcoholics Anonymous.

An alcoholic can recover. He will never be able to drink again.
but he can lead a normal, happy, and healthy life, without alcohol.

You don't help an alcoholic by nagging, scolding, lecturing,
moralizing or making empty threats. But getting an alcoholic to
professional assistance can be an important step toward his
recovery.

Savannah State
Reading Workshop

One of the features of the
Summer School program at Sa-
vannah State College is a work-
shop in the improvement of
reading. The workshop is com-
posed of twenty-eight Georgia
and South Carolina elementary
and high school teachers who
are vitally concerned with tak-
ing steps to improve the read-
ing abilities in their schools. The
workshop is directed by Dr.
Maurice A, Lee, professor of Eng-
lish and director of the Reading
Center at Morgan State College,
Baltimore, Maryland He is
assisted by Mrs, Louise Owens.
assistant professor of English.
Savannah State College.

The workshop has many in-
teresting and profitable features.
One of the workshop's features
is the administration of the Iowa
Silent Reading Test to help
members of the workshop to
evaluate their reading.

Each member of the workshop
is required to make a group and
do an individual project. Seven
major topics have been given in
order to solicit the interest of
each member of the class. The
general framework of the class
is centered around these areas:
The Development of the Child
in Reading ; Reading Interests
and Abilities; Improving the
Essential Reading Skills; What
can be done for the Disabled
Reader; Reading Improvement
in the High School; Reading in
the Content Fields, and Student
Evaluation. From these topics,
each person will develop a plan
to improve or set up a reading
program in the school in which
he works during the next school
year.

Consultants have been asked
to come in to lecture and demon-
strate certain factors in relation
to reading, Mr. Jerry Allen,
School Psychologist in Chatham
County, spoke on "Testing and
Reading Achievement" on
Wednesday, June 21, On Thurs-
day, June 22. the class observed
a classroom demonstration In
reading to three groups by Mrs.
Sadie Steele, a teacher at Sol C.
Johnson Elementary School, Sa-
vannah, Georgia. Mrs, Gertrude
Greene, psychiatric social worker,
Chatham County, spoke on "The
Emotional Problems of Children
with Reference to Reading" on
Friday, June 23,

Mrs, Mattie B, Payne, Coun-
selor, Alfred E. Beach High
School, Savannah, Georgia, spoke
to the group on Monday. June
26, on "The Role of Counseling
in Reading Improvement."

The members of the workshop
have found the discussion thus
far. very interesting and in-
formative.

Matches and Smoking
Leading Fire Cause

This Is Spring Clean-Up Time,
and many families are busily en-
gaged in sprucing up their
homes.

Throwing out accumulations of
old newspapers and trash is a
vital part of the Clean-Up job,
because it reduces fire hazards.

The National Board of Fire
Underwriters suggests that fire
safey be made a year-round job.

Around one-fourth of all fires
are caused by matches and
smoking, the National Board
said. Another 20,4 per cent are
due to misuse of electrical equip-
ment.

Three-fourths of all fires are
the result of carelessness and
forgetfulness. They could have
been prevented.

Always Finish

If a task is once begun
Never leave it till it's done,
Be the labor great or small,
Do it well or not at all.

program held in Meldrim.

^ Marshall Izen Guest at Assembly

Marshall Izen. pianist and humorist, appeared at the All-
College assembly on Friday. July 7.

Mr. Izen's thorough musical background adds dimension and
substance to his humor as well as refinement and taste to his
serious offerings. During the program he played Waltzes by
Schubert, "Flight of the Bumble Bee." "Soldiers' March," Chopin's
"Waltz in E Minor." and several versions of "Happy Birthday" as
he imagined famous composers would have arranged them.

The most humorous part of the program was a German opera
in which Mr. Izen portrayed the entire opera with the use of hand
puppets. He provided his own music and used the top of the piano
for his stage.

Mr. Izen received a Bachelor's degree in music from De Paul
University in Chicago. He studied at the Julllard School of Music.
New York City, in preparation for a concert career. Through a
series of odd adventures, his unique musical and satiric talents first
received recognition in several New York supper clubs. His many
appearances on television have included the Ed Sullivan and Steve
Allen shows.

waite. Chairman of the Department of Fine Arts.

Don't Use Big Words!

Don't use big words, . , . "In
promulgating your esoteric cogi-
tations or articulating your
superficial sentimentalities and
amicable, philosophical, or psy-
chological observations, beware
of platitudinous ponderosity. Let
your conversations and com-
munications possess a clarified
conciseness, a compact compre-
hensibleness. coalescent con-
sistency, and a concatenated
cogency. Eschew all conglomera-
tions of flatulent garrulity;
jejune babblement, and asinine
affectations. Let your extempo-
raneous descantings and un-
premeditated expitations have
intelligibility and veracious
vivacity, without rodomotade or
thrasonical bombast,

"In other words talk plainly,
briefly, naturally, sensibly,
truthfully, purely. Don't use big
words; don't use slangs; don't
put on airs; say what you mean;
mean what you say, and avoid
big words."

Wiggins Addresses
College Assembly

Dr, Forrest O. Wiggins de-
livered a challenging address at
the second All-College assembly.
He spoke from a thought derived
from the phrase "Mourn Not the
Dead, but Mourn the Apathetic,
the Meek, the Coward." He
chose as his subject "The Alms
of Education" of which he said
there are two. They are the
training of intelligence and the
Instilling of ideas.

Other points highlighted in
the address were that the role
of the scholar is to prepare ones
own mind and to develop moral
sensitivity. Scholars should have
the capacity to see beyond ones
own personal problems, yet have
the courage to face them with
an open mind,

"The responsibility of college,"
he said, "is to teach methods of
freedom." Within this realm of
responsibility are two poles the
teacher and the learner, In con-
clusion. Dr. Wiggins stated that
in order to successfully face the
challenges of this responsibility,
both teacher and learner need
to seek new positions, and travel
new paths.

Dr, Paul Taylor introduced the
speaker. Dr. C, A. Braithwaite
provided the music and Rev. A.
E, Peacock gave the invocation

Iiiiportance of the

College Newsijaper

By James C. Matthews
The college newspaper plays
an important role in college life.
You may not know it, but col-
leges are represented to the out-
side world by student publica-
tions. The college newspaper
does not only represent the col-
lege In the outside world, but it
also serves as an outlet for in-
forming students of the activities
that have taken place on and off
campus which concern them.

The college newspaper Is an
instrument of mass communica-
tion on campus. It Is a publica-
tion by which the students may
speak or voice their conceptions
through editorials, feature
stories, poems, etc. This also
raises the question of freedom
of the student publication versus
control. The college newspaper
represents the students and
gives them a chance to debate
and test experimental thoughts,
emotions, and beliefs. A free
colelge newspaper gives self-
expression of the outstanding
moments on campus. It has
many motives of expression and
is as multiform as human
emotion.

The college newspaper does not
only have a local campus value,
but a professional value also.
For many colleges are judged by
their student publications. So
from these conceptions, it can be
concluded that a college news-
paper holds the major spotlight
of student expression in college
life.

POLITICS AND WORLD NEWS

MY KIND OF DEMOCRACY

By William D. Hagins

Deinoorafy Comes to
Dallas

Democracy has finally come to
Dallas, Texas, the last of the big
cities of Texas to integrate their
stores, restaurants, and schools.

Dallas is now undergoing a
plan to adjust their citizens to
integration. The following are
some of the features of the plan
which the citizens of Dallas have
adopted as taken from the ar-
ticle "Dallas Follows Long-Range
Plan to Adjust Citizens to Inte-
gration," which appeared in The
New York Times. Sunday, July 30.

"The concept of what is in-
volved in school desegregation
has been broadened to include
many other spheres of life."

"Publicity has been avoided to
avert the crystalizing of hostile
factions and to thwart agitators
on both sides."

"The operations have been
kept a community affair, not
connected with the numerous re-
gional and national organiza-
tions involved in racial situations
elsewhere."

"The main bone of contention,
segregation vs. desegregation,
has been sidetracked in favor of
the more pressing question of
law and order vs. violence."

Recently a number of stores
and restaurants were persuaded
to lift the bars of segregation
and come into the new light of
integration.

Since Dallas adopted their
plan of integration, there has
been a minimum of sit-in and
other sort of demonstrations.
The southbound Freedom Riders
decided to by-pass Dallas so that
their plan could have the fullest
chance to succeed.

This approach to integration
problems which Dallas has now
in effect is a new approach for
the South. Instead of having a
number of committees to handle
their situation, they have come
together as one to iron out the
evil which follows segregation.

It is my honest opinion that if
other cities in the South could
adopt a plan similar to Dallas,
the Soutli would eventually be-
come a place where any Ameri-
can would be proud to live.

No, America. Dallas, is deter-
mined not to be another Little
Rock or New Orleans where Na-
tional Guardsmen had to come
and escort Negroes to school.
Dallas realizes that this is a new
day which is drawing nigh upon
them, and they are destined to
make Dallas a place where de-
mocracy exists.

By Samuel M. Truell
JFK Increases Military Strength

In Ms address to the nation via radio and television. President
John F- Kennedy stressed that the alternative of the present Berlin
criiis nay be all out nuclear war or humiliation on a national level,
Tlie ,mei executive requested an increase in this country's military
power to stand against the communist threat against humanity and
freedoai. In a very somber speech the President made it clear to
the aggressors that we will meet all of our commitments in Berlin
and elsewhere, regardless of the consequences.

The President requested that the Congress make appropriations
for him to double or possibly triple the draft, in order that he may
extend the service branches. He said that Americans have borne
burdens before with courage, and will not divorce them now. Indi-
vidual sacrifices must be made in order that freedom may survive.

It can plainly be seen that such a large increase in revenues
will result in a bulky tax hike, but Mr. Kennedy ruled this out.
Nevertheless an increase in taxes is anticipated no later than next
January. We are sure that the American public is behind the Presi-
dent, but one must wonder just where the money is to come from.
Within a period of nearly seven months, Mr. Kennedy and his
Harvard chums have greatly increased our national debt and it
seems as though the President thinks he is still spending "papa Joe's
millions."

Before any of my admirers entertain the idea that Truell is
anti-Kermedy, let me state freely, I am not. But I do believe the
incumbency should have put more emphasis on military might
instead of all their capricious federal aid to this or federal control
of that.

It will be a jubilant occasion on the homeland when the United
States regains her strong foothold in the world community and
ceases to always be in retaliation to the enemies of liberty. In these
crucial moments in our times the leader of the non-communit
countries must seek more efficient measures than the forestated
one because one of these days it may be too late.

Seemingly. Mr. Kennedy moves only upon castigations of the
Kremlin; but he must realize that the man who moves hastily is
victorious and the man who moves slowly will reach his destina-
tion, but when?

Negro on Civil Rights Panel

In spit of the vilifications of the Deep South, the Senate
approved Negro integrationLst Spott.swood W. Robinson III, as a
member of the Federal Commission on Civil Rights.

Robuion was confirmed unanimously by a vote of 73-13 as a
r^tilt of President Kennedy's nomination of him as a member of
the six-man investigating committee. Mr. Robinson, Dean of the
School of Law at Howard University, has on numerous occasions
counseled the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People in Civil Rights suits.

Because of Robinson's avowed stand against racial inequalities,
Southerners argued that he was partisan to the rights of tlie Negro
and consequently would lean only to the side of the Negro. Robinson
is one of the nation's leading advocates of racial integration in all
walks of life in our American society.

U. S. Makes Second Suh-Orbital Flight

Early in July astronaut Virgil I. Grissom made the second sub-
orbital flight into space. The flight was supposed to be identical to
the one made by Commander of the Navy Alan B. Sheppard last
May.

Grissom's triumph almost cost iiis life, due to an accident on
his part or by a meciianical failure. Before he could be rescued
by tlie awaiting helicopters, the hatch on the door of the Liberty
Bell 7 blew open. As a result the 5-foot-7-inch Air Force Captain
was forced to leave the space capsule and swim for his life.

The dashing sixteen-minute flight of astronaut Grissom was
good in its main respect. The Korean War veteran came down safely
after a flight which soared 118 miles into space and 303 miles down
the Atlantic Ocean.

The events that occurred immediately after his splash into the
ocean are what subordinated his trip to that of Commander Shep-
ard's. After releasing himself from the Mercury capsule, the capsule
sank about 300 miles down into the Atlantic, and with it went $5
million dollars worth of equipment and vital space information.

Space experts tried to minimize the liabilities to the public but
there is little doubt that the sinking of tlie capsule failed to compli-
cate matters. Prior to the hatch incident, it was anticipated that
Grissom's flight would be the last sub-orbital flight. All attention
was to be directed toward an atlas flight similar to the one made
by Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin. But now another flight is
almost inevitable.

All in the second flight was good but not excellent as the first
American flight. The reasons for these sub-orbital flights are
simple, the United States places more emphasis on the individual
life than do the Soviets. The Russians may get lucky with the
touchdown, but most games are won with consistent and frequent
first and tens.

Payne with a check for the Stu-

From the Editor'^s Desk

This Is the Last

Issue of
The Tiger^s Roar
This School Year

So Long Until
September

For four years I have strug-
gled here at Savannah State
College as a student in the Col-
lege family. These years have
been most rewarding for me in
many ways educationally, so-
cially, and intellectually. As I
pass from the hallowed halls of
SSC to confront the chaos which
awaits in the world before me, I
shall miss the persons and things
which comprise this campus; but
I shall also feel that the past
four years of experiences have
prepared me to be able to cope
with the awaiting conflicts.

I challenge you who are high
school graduates, freshmen,
sophomores, juniors, and even
non-graduating seniors to take
advantage of the opportunities
which college offers you. No
matter how close or how remote
you may be to achieving your
goal, be serious minded about it.
Do not play too much; set your
objectives and aim high for your
goals. Then work hard to achieve

those objectives and to reach
those goals. However, strive to
be a well-rounded individual as
well. Savannah State College
offers many opportunities for
growth. Take advantage of them.
Remember as much can be
learned outside of class as inside
the classroom, if one properly
applies himself.

I challenge the graduating
seniors also. Let us not stop here,
but instead seek avenues of
higher learning and opportuni-
ties for wider growth. As a
friend of mine says: "The world
is yours for a prayer and a smile
plus hard work." And my
motto is that "Every man is the
maker of his own fortune."
Therefore, let us one and all
word hard and make our fortune
a rewarding one.

Yours sincerely,

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

By Samue! M, Truell

Major League Baseball

There is a tight two team pennant race in both of the leagues
this season. In the National League the rallying Los Angeles
Dodgers are fighting a torrid race with the league-leading Redlegs
of Cincinnati. The former Bums of Brooklyn have been hampered
by injuries to many of their star players this summer, but have
managed to stay in the thick of the pennant race.

At present the Cincinnati club is leading the Dodgers by one
game. By the time this writing goes to press the Dodgers may
well be in first place.

However, if the aforementioned is to become a reality the Los
Angeles Club must not concede to the powerful Reds. Cincinnati
has been in the number one position in the National League for
the majority of the current baseball campaign. Her pitching can
cope with the best in the league and the team hitting is tremendous.

In the Junior Circuit the Detroit Tigers and the Bronx Bombers
of New York are battling to the hilt to see who will represent the
American League in the rich World Series. Tiger Norm Cash is still
leading the American League in hitting and is a runner-up to big
Jim Gentile of the Baltimore Orioles in the runs batted in depart-
ment.

It seems as though the Yanks have a triumvirate in Mickey
Mantle, Roger Maris and pitcher Whitey Ford to spark the rest of
manager Ralph Houk's squad. Mantle and Maris have compiled a
total of 79 circuit blows between the two of them and Ford has
been victorious in 19 of 21 decisions. In addition to these established
stars, catchers Elston Howard and John Blanchard have been hit-
ting the bail solidly. Blanchard just tied a major league record by
hitting four home runs in four times at bat.

Even though the pennant races seem to be two team affairs
in both leagues, it should make a very interesting finale come
September; and the post-season classic may be between two old
rivals, the Yankees and the Dodgers. But one thing can be ascer-
tained, whoever enters the series in October will be fighting to make
the forthcoming series one of the most exciting ones ever.

SENIOR CLASS SONG

(Time: "Aultl Lang Syne*")

1
Oh SSC, Dear SSC, proud of Thy name are we
Great Alma Mater of the South
Thus it shall always be.

Chorus
This day of days we come to part
From Comrades loved so true
We plan to make Thee proud of us
As we are proud of you.
2
Our hearts are filled with sorrow now
We hate to bid good-bye
But happiness, perhaps success await
Our aims so high.

Chorus
Now watch the time for us because
Someday great things we'll do
We plan to make Thee proud of us
As we are proud of you.

A NOTE OF PRAISE

By Norman B. Elmore

The members of Alpha Nu Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu National
Honor Society wish to laud the members of the Savannah State
College faculty who participated so enthusiastically in our recent
colloquy on "The Humanities and Creativity."

Mrs. Upshur: Your comments supporting the motivating factor
behind creativity were very profound, and oh. so dynamic!

Dr. Braithwaite: We were honored to have you serve as one
of our guest panelists and shall always remember with delight your
comment "all horses are animals, but all animals aren't horses."

Mr. Hampton: We were very glad to have you serve as one of
our guest panelists and your very informative comments on the
motivating factor supporting creativity were quite timely.

It is indeed a rare thing that so many intellectual and dynamic
personalities are found on a single college faculty. The members
of Alpha Nu Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu National Honor Society
take a great deal of pride in saluting you, the members of our
distinguished faculty.

A W ord From
The Editor

By Virginia Mercer

I take this opportunity to ex-
press my sincere appreciation to
the advisor of the Tiger's Roar,
Mr. Wilton C. Scott, for appoint-
ing me editor of the Tiger's Roar
for the summer school session.
I have enjoyed the work and
have benefitted from the experi-
ences. During my sojourn with
the student newspaper, I have
been richly rewarded. Such ex-
periences as the opportunity to
attend the Columbia Scholastic
Press Institute in New York, to
co-ordinate a workshop session
in the Regional Press Institute
here at the College as well as to
serve as editor of the Tiger's Roar
^re ones I shall ever remember.
To all who helped to make these
experiences possible. I humbly
say "Thank You."

Expressions of thanks are also
extended to the summer school
Tiger's Roar staff for their
whole-hearted support and co-
operation. Without your help,
the two summer editions would
not have been possible.

To all I express appreciation
and extend thanks.

CAROLYN CAMPBELL

Caiupus Spotlight

By Verdelle Lambert

If you have charm, you don't
need to have anything else; and
if you don't have it, it doesn't
matter what else you have.

Carolyn Campbell's cup run-
neth over.

Carolyn, a delightfully charm-
ing English major, is a prospec-
tive August graduate. She is
president of the Boar's Head
Club, Organization Editor of The
Tiger (yearbook I, a 1961 "Who's
Who Among Students in Ameri-
can Colleges and Universities"
honoree, a former student assist-
ant in the Department of Eng-
lish, an Alpha Kappa Mu Eng-
lish tutor, a member of the
Choral Society, and The Tiger's
Roar staff.

In 1960-61, Carolyn served as
an attendant to Miss SSC,
Yvonne McGlockton. Recalling
this stupendous event in her col-
lege life, she commented mod-
estly. "When I heard that I had
been elected as an attendant to
Miss SSC, I was very happy and
rather surprised,"

As for her future plans, Caro-
lyn wants to teach literature on
the college level and to "write
poetry on the side," In her lei-
sure time she enjoys collecting
records, taking in a movie, draw-
ing, and reading Greek drama.
Caught in a moment of ecstasy
she squealed, "Oh, I really love
that Sophocles!"

Carolyn has two philosophies
of life: She doesn't believe in
worrying about things over
which she has no control. She
does feel that if you like people,
more than likely, they will like
you too.

For Carolyn, and for many
other graduating seniors, the
dawn of the new day is fast
approaching. I demur here to

The Faculty Personality of the Month

By Norman B. Elmore

It is indeed a rare discovery when one can find a woman who
possesses intelligence, talent, wit, charm, and poise. If this be the
case, a woman such as this has been found here at Savannah State
College in Mrs. Madeline H. Dixon, Catalogue Librarian and Assistant
Professor of LibraryScience.

Mrs, Dixon is a native of Kin-
ston. North Carolina and began
her formal education in that
city. Very diversified in the field
of education, she received the
Bachelor of Arts degree from
Fisk University in Nashville.
Tennessee, with a major in Eng-
lish and a minor in Fi-ench, In
order to realize her dream of en-
tering into the field of Library
Service. Mrs. Dixon matriculated
at North Carolina College at
Durham, North Carolina where
she was the recipient of the
Bachelor of Science degree in Li-
brary Science and also at the
University of Illinois at Urbana,
Illinois, where she received the
Master of Science degree in Li-
brary Science.

Among the many positions
held by Mrs. Dixon, she has

served as a teacher-librarian at
Boggs Academy, Keysville. Geor-
gia; Assistant Librarian, Alcorn
Agricultural and Mechanical
College, Alcorn, Mississippi; and
she has served as Assistant Li-
brarian and Cataloguer at Sa-
vannah State College since 1946.

Our distinguished personality

of the month is a member of
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Incor-
porated, Regional Reporter to
Archon, the national publication
of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incor-
porated, a member of the choir
and president of the Episcopal
Church Women of Saint Mat-
thew's Episcopal Church, Savan-
nah, Georgia. For many years,
Mrs. Dixon served as advisor to
the campus branch of The Young
Women's Christian Association.

Recently, Mrs. Dixon was
elected as one of the six dele-
gates, who will represent the
Diocese of Georgia at the Tri-
ennial Meeting of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the United

MRS. MADELINE H. DIXON

States in Detroit, Michigan, Sep-
tember 17-29. 1961.

When asked about her philos-
ophy of life, Mrs. Dixon replied:
"I don't know that I have a
clearly defined philosophy of life.
but I do believe that one should
continue to broaden his, interest
and circle of friends. I have
learned, over the years, to take
today's mishaps with a shrug,
for by tomorrow they will prob-
ably have lost their meaning.
Life has taught me that there
are many undesirable things I
need not accept if I care enough
to stand up against them, and I
have also learned not to worry
about the things I cannot
change."

Mrs. Dixon is the charming
wife of Mr. Willie L, Dixon, a
teacher by occupation. Reading,
cooking, and playing bridge and
scrabble are her most entertain-
ing hobbies.

The members of the staff of
the Tiger's Roar are indeed proud
to have Mrs, Madeline H. Dixon
join the ranks of other distin-
guished faculty members who
have been spotlighted.

CREATIVE POETRY

'^What's in a Day?"

By Veronica Owens

Some of life's days are rainbow-
hued.

Having no dark phantoms to ob-
scure them;

They sparkle and shine with the

Illuminance of Keats' "Bright
Star";

And smile as propitiously as
"Helios"

On earth's inhabitants from
afar.

On these coveted days, nothing
less than

Life's advantageous components
are imbued;

Every friend a foe.

"What's in a Day?"

A Vie!

By Verdelle Lambert

What is this thing which eludes

our grasp;
Teasing us with its coquettish

smiles:
Tricking us with its cunning and

wiles;
Befuddling us with its invincible

masque?

Whoever you are, whatever you

are:
Heed the mournful cries of the

men:
Desert not the youthful lad of

ten;
Open your heart to those near
and far.

Spirit fleting, forever young, for-
ever blind.

Soothe me, caress me, and with
me lie;

Muthusium loved you no more
than I

Share with me your eternity of
promised time.

Alpha Kappa Mu
Presents Assembly

Throwing the spotlight on the
subject of the relationship be-
tween the humanities and crea-
tivity, the Alpha Nu Chapter of
Alpha Kappa Mu National Honor
Society presented its assembly
program on July 27.

The discussion leaders were
divided into an expert's panel
and a laymen's panel, with Eva
C. Boseman as moderator and
Virginia Mercer as recorder.
Members of Alpha Nu Chapter.
Charles Frasier, Annette Ken-
nedy. Verdelle Lambert, and
Juanita Moon were on the lay-
men's panel. The expert's panel
consisted of Mrs. Luetta C. Up-
shur, assistant professor of Eng-
lish, Mr Phillip J. Hampton, as-
sistant professor of Fine Arts.
and Dr. Coleridge A. Braithwaite,
profe:-5or and chairman of the
Department of Fine Arts.

The four motivating questions
behind the discussion were 1 1 )
What is creativity? (2) What
role do the humanities play in
creativity? (3) What are the mo-
tivating factors behind creativ-
ity? and i4t Is creativity some-
thing which is innate, or is it
produced by the ciUture in which
we live, or a combination of
both ? The questions and an-
swers stimulated notable com-
ments from the panelists.

Immediately after the discus-
sion, there was an audience par-
ticipation period which was con-
ducted by Norman Elmore, who
presided at the program.

The members of Alpha Nu
Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu Na-
tional Honor Society are to be
congiatuiared for sponsoring
such a highly motivating pro-
gram at Savannah State Col-
lege. We hope to see many more
events such as the one presented
here on campus.

Mr. Samuel Gill directs the recently formed SSC String Band
Croup dunng the group's first performance which was at tollece
assembly.

By Veronica Owens

Members of the music depart-
ment, under the direction of Dr.
Coleridge D. Braithwaite. head
of the department, and Mr.
Samuel Gill, band director, pre-
sented an unusually delightful
program on chapel July 13, 1961.
The theme of the program was
"Music For a Summer Day."

The anticipation of the audi-
ence began to rise when the
"jazz quartet's" melodious sounds
of the theme song "Sweet Geor-
gia Brown" filled the air. The
members of the quartet were
composed of Samuel Gill on
trumpet. Coleridge Braithwaite
at the piano, Alex Jenkins played
double bass, and "Bill" Campbell
on the drums.

Following this the concert en-
semble played the incomparable
"Embraceable You" by the great
American composer. George
Gershwin.

Then the m u s i e al pace
changed slightly when Jesse
Kearse, an outstanding music
student, sang "Without a Song."

Another aspect of the enter-
taining program included the ap-
pearance of the string ensemble,
under Samuel Gill's direction.
The talented group which was
organized this summer, made
their debut on the recent chapel
program. The members of the
ensemble included Carol Coxon.
William Forrest, Edward Manigo.
Lawrence Hutchins, Willie Moore,
James Williams, and Van Buren
Jones.

Instrumentally wise, the pro-
gram proved to be a rare treat
for everyone in the audience.
Rose Overstreet. a talented mu-
sic student at Savannah State
College, played one of the selec-
tions from Edward McDowell's
Woodland Sketches entitled "To
a Water-Liiy." Following that.
Mrs. Hattie Copeland, a music
instructor in Chatham County.
thrilled the audience with her
rendition of "To a Wild Rose,"
another familiar selection from
McDowell's Woodland Sketches.

The program went on to in-
clude a number by Eugene Ha-
[iins, "Around the World in
Eighty Days." Eugene's version
of the popular song was highly
appealing to the receptive audi-
ence. Then Juanita Moon sang
the lovely "Ah. Love. But a Day."

At this point, the string en-
.semble made their final appear-
ance by playing two selections.
or Black Joe" and "No. 307."

Finally, the Jazz Quartet
played the last number on "Mu-
sic For a Summer Day." It was
the good old standard "Blues in
B Flat," a real rouser that left
quite an impression on the audi-
ence. In fact, the entire program
was entertaining and unique.
Just the type of "Music For a
Summer Day."

Library Scieiiee
Students Present
Interesting Forum

Members of the Basic Refer-
ence Sources class presented a
forum and demonstration on
"Programmed Instruction and
the School Library" at the weekly
all-college assembly on Thurs-
day, July 20.

The program revealed the im-
portance of the school library in
the use of teaching machines
and programmed instruction
techniques. Mrs. Rachel Meeks,
librarian of Lee Street School,
Pierce County; and Mrs. Gloria
Brown, a teacher at the Flor-
ence Street School, Chatham
County, discussed the philosophy
of the teaching machines, and
they also pointed out that teach-
ing machines promoted indivi-
dualized learning.

There are five points of em-
phasis in the operation of teach-
ing machines and programmed
instruction: iD Break down the
learning into tiny steps leading
from what students know to
what you want them to know.
(2) Have the students to do
something. (3) Help students to
eliminate their mistakes by
keeping the steps tiny, and if
necessary, by clues. (4) If they
do make a mistake, have them
correct it immediately. ( 5 ) If
their answers are correct, rein-
force immediately by letting
them know that they are right,
and give them another problem.

Mrs. Vivian Howard, a substi-
tute teacher in the Chatham
County Schools, and Miss Mamie
Greene, a senior at Savannah
State College, demonstrated a
teaching machine which helps to
develop computational skills in
multiplication of fractions. This
was done through the auspices
of Dr. Jack Miller, of the Uni-
versity of Arizona faculty, who

invented the machine.

Miss Mary Berry, a teacher at
the Collins Elementary School,
Tattnall County, and Mrs, Cath-
erine Torrence, instructor at
Cuyler Jr. High School, Chatham
County, demonstrated "English
2600." a programmed instruc-
tional technique for the teaching
of English. Mrs. Lucy Solomon,
itinerant-librarian of Chatham
County, discussed the role of the
school library in the support of
this new curriculum technique,
programmed instruction, Samuel
Williams, a senior at Savannah
State College, served as mod-
erator for the program.

The future librarians related
that because the effectiveness of
teaching machines depends on
the ability of the learner to read
and understand the questions
presented, teaching machines
will never substitute for the
teaching-book, but will demand
wider reading of books and other
printed matter.

Other members of the class
were: Mrs. Rutha B. Alexander,
George Washington Carver
School, Bryan County; Mrs.
Pharestine Appling, Bowls Ele-
mentary, Camden County: Miss
Christer Lee Eaddy, Lee Street
School, Pierce County; Miss Re-
becca S. Gray, Tattnall County
Industrial High; Miss Texanna
Henderson, G. W. Carver, Bryan
County; Mrs. Altomese B. Mag-
wood, Sol C. Johnson. Chatham
County; Mrs. Carrie Maynor. Ar-
nett Elementary, Screven County;
Mrs. Rosemary Richardson, Lib-
erty Elementary School, Liberty
County; Mrs. Lucille Roberts,
Twin City Elementary School,
Emanuel County; Miss Sadie
Rutledge. Dawson Drive Ele-
mentary, Muscogee County: Miss
Sarah Stafford, Arnett School,
Screven County; Miss Frances
Timble. Edward Johnson Elemen-
tary, Bulloch County; and Miss
Marie Williams. Todd -Grant
High, Mcintosh County.

Other regular students en-
rolled in the class were Jerome
Anderson, Mrs. Clementine
Campbell, and Miss Rosemary
McBride.

Mr. E. J. Josey, college hbrarian
and associate professor, serves as
instructor for the six-week
course.
