The Reader's Digest "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. Sol C. Johnson PTA Buys Band Instruments Through the combined efforts of the Sol C.

J.RETNOIOS TOBACCO C Page 6 THE TIGER'S ROAR Jan 1960 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 State Rallies (Continiu-ii from Page A) SSC took the punt on their own 46. From tliis point Davis passed to Whatley for 18 yards, and two plays later Davis passed 26 yards to McGraw for a TD. State missed the try for conversion and the score was now 18-6. On the kick off after TD SSC tried an off-side kick, but it failed and Benedict Tiger's were in possession on the SSC 48. On the first play from scrimmage. Green passed to Pratt for a 48-yard touchdown. Again Benedict, who had failed to score a PAT all afternoon, failed; and the score was 24-6. With two minutes left in the game SSC took to the air but was not able to complete but two passes out of about six. Losing the ball on downs, Bene- dict took possession with seconds remaining in the game. Lawrence Williams, James Davis and James Brown were the leading defensive player-s for SSC making a total of 32 tackle.s among them. Johnny Green and Billy Car.son were outstanding for Benedict.

FASHIONS AMONG WOMEN By Geraldine Lindsay Color Hiphlifihts Day, Evening Silliouettcs Tunics, bloused tops, dolman sleeves, hobble skirts whatever the silhouette, the common de- nominator m today's fashions Is 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 mohair for day. A royal velvet costume with matching hat and shoes would be very stunning on any young lady. Yes, girls, if you are consider- ing colors, then think of purple tones royal purple, violet, mauve, cei-ise; or maybe the browns putty beige, taupe and tobacco molasses.

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 alone is not enough. To be a com- 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?"

The production was under the direction of Mrs. Lu- etta C. Upshur, assistant profes- sor of languages and literature, 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. SSC Plans EdiKulion Tour as Siininu'i- School Course According to Mrs. Evanel R.

A Discussion of Great Books Held The recently organized Great Books Discussion Group con- sidered Sophocle's Antigone at its third meeting on Wednesday night, February 24 at 8 p.m. in the Seminar Room of the Col- lege Library. The Great Books Discussion Group is a project of the Great Books Foundation, a non-profit organization that encourages people to meet together and dis- cuss great books. The group is locally sponsored by the Savan- nah State College Library as a part of its services to the Com- munity. The Great Books Foundation contends that, "The Great Books speak directly to every man. of himself and of his human con- cerns. Their voices are original, forceful, and clear. They have for generations been widely read by thoughtful men and have in- fluenced their personal histories and the wider history of their recorded acts. Persons interested in becoming members of the local Great Books Discussion Group may contact Mr. E. J. Josey. Savan- nah State College Librarian. The University of Puerto Rico will sponsor the lectures and educational tours in San Juan and the Ministry of Education and Department of Social Wel- fare will jointly share in the direction of tour personnel in Jamaica.

Boston Mr, Robert Holt Member of: INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS " pness COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION 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, Jazzville U.S.A. By Alphonso McLean 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). Jazz Lab 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. New Sides Review "GO" Personnel includes Paul Chambers on bass; Cannonbalt A d d e r 1 e y. alto saxophone; Freddie Hubbard, trumpet; Wyn- ton Kelly, piano; Jimmy Cobb. drums. The physical make-up of this group is that of the Miles Davis Sextet of that time without John Coltrane, with Hubbard in place of Davis, and original drummer Jones sitting in for Cobb on one number. Tunes on this gig are "There is no Greater Love." "Awful Mean," "Just Friends." "Ease It," "I Got Rhythm." "The Swingin'est" Personnel includes Bennie Green, trom- bone; Gene Ammons, Frank Foster. Frank Wess, tenor saxo- phone; Wess, flute; Nat Adderley, cornet; Tommy Flannagan, piano; Eddie Jones, bass; Al Heath, drums. Spr ing Preview By Alphonso McLean 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. Trends In Formal Fashions While black, blue black and white remain the favored shades 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 break. During this daily rush, they must keep on their toes be- cause at times there will be as many as thirty people at the 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 issue. Senior Beats His ^ Jinx ^ Joe Sweet, senior, industrial education major, who has played on the Savannah State College basketball squad for the past two years has finally conquered his "Jinx," During Sweet's entire two years with the team, he had re- mained scoreless.

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. Naliiral Srit'iHT OraJs Hold K'\ .|'."

Wells Disensses African Continent By Virginia A. Mercer A film. "The Rising New Africa," depicting the new and modern developments in Africa, many of the modern buildings, parts of the country-side, and portions of the ceremonies as some of Africa's countries gained their independence, highlighted the All-College Assembly Pro- gram on June 23. 1960. The well- traveled I. J. K. Wells. State Supervisor of Schools in the state of West Virginia, was the speaker for the occasion. He has traveled to every continent ex- cept Australia and has visited the continent of Africa seven times. Mr. Wells talked briefly on the "Ten Basic Concepts of Africa," which all Americans should be informed of. Mr. Wells stated the Ten Basic Concepts as (1) Africa is extremely rich in natural re- sources such as oil. gold, diamonds, and coal. (2) Africa is the home of great races. (3) Africa has had a great historical pass. 14) Africans are extremely sensitive. Mr. Wells went on to state that (5) African people have fine qualities which include a very big mind, a beautiful soul, and a great appreciation for music. 1 6) Africans have an extremely fine physical machine. i7l Africans are highly organized and give great respect to au- thority. (8) Africa is highly modernized. 19) Africa offers more to Negro people now than in the past 5.000 years. 1 10) Africa has many new changes taking place In government and many things for all to watch for. 656 Students Attend Summer Session At Savannah State College Ben Ingersoll. registrar at Savannah State College, announced the enrollment of 601 students for the 1960 summer session, with 55 in the Department of Trades and Industries for a total of 656.

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- cerning Africa Savannah State College Dean's List Timothy C. Meyers.

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.

THE EDITORS DESK 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." Library Presents | Art Exhibition Paintings by members of Pro- fessor Phillip Hampton's Water Color and Painting Classes are on display in the Seminar Room of the College Library. The exhibition includes the works of three prominent art enthusiasts of the community, Mrs. Ernestine Bertrand, Mrs. Sadie M. Jason, and Mrs. Mary B. McDew, These ladies have been studying Water Color under r, Hampton. Works of Henry Balloon and Miss Roberta Polite, graduating seniors, and Carl W, Moore, a freshman are also on display. Two abstract paintings by Mrs. Bertrand and Miss PoUte were eye- catching. Mr. Balloon's painting is a semi-abstract gouache, Mrs. Jason has on dis- play a gouache painting depict- ing a peaceful lake. A semi- abstract in tempera by Mrs, Mc- Dew is a fascinating scene to view. Carl W. Moore, a promising freshman, is represented by a life-like village scene in water color. July. 1960 THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 3 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. Campus Spotlight B>- Yvonne McGlockton 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. Share a Grin Compiled by James DeVoe Eli Whitney's last words: "Keep your cotton plckin" hands off my gin." The sultan kept his harem several miles away from his palace, and each day he sent a trusted servant to fetch one of the wives. The sultan lived to be 21; the servant died at the age of 40. Moral: Its not the women who kill you, it's the running after them. The fastest moving object, next to a jet plane, is a nudist who spilled hot coffee in his lap. "Look at the way these young people dress today!" snorted the judge at the horse show to another judge standing next to him. "See that thing with a poodle haircut, blue jeans, and shirt hanging out, I can't even tell whether it's a boy or girl!" The judge he was talking to coldly answered. "I can assure you it is a girl she is my daughter." "My apologies," mumbled the first judge, "I had no Idea you were her father." "I'm NOT," snapped the parent, "I'm her mother." Candidate: A logical man doubts everything. Only a fool is positive of everything he says. Voters: Are you sure of that? Candidate: Positive. The salesman walked up to a boy sitting on the steps of a house and asked. 'Is your mother at home?" "Yes, sir." the boy said. The salesman began knocking on the door. He knocked again and again but there was no answer. Then he turned to the boy and said, "I thought you said your mother was at home." "She is," said the boy. "but I don't live here." .JazzviUe U.S.A. By Alphonso McLean 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."

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.

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.

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. individually or collectively.

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 Graduation Preview By Norman B. Elmore The grand occasion is drawing near tor approximately fifty- five seniors who are scheduled to receive the Bachelor of Science degree in their respective fields on August 17. 1960. We. the college family, salute the candidates for graduation on having perservered, amid trials and tribulations in order that they might attain their ultimate goal, a college education. Let us show our elation for them by attending the Commencement events here at the college. CALENDAR OF COMMENCEMENT EVENTS I960 Thursday. August 11 12:00 Noon Senior Class Day Exercises 8:00 P.M.

North Carolina 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. Alphonso McLean 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: September 30 Last day for submitting the names of the THE COLLEGE CALENDAR 1960-61 Fall Quarter Last day for filing admission applications and paying admission and room reposits.

This theme should help to bring forth the extraordinary in the way of beautiful decorated floats and cars, A letter received from Dr. W. K. Payne expresses his desire to work with the student council in promoting the welfare of the student body at large. This com- munication was warmly received and served as a reminder that the things we undertake are just as important to our leader as they are to us. Appreciation is also extended to Miss Loreese Davis, Dean N. R. Freeman, P. A Jackson, and Alphonso McLean for their guidance, help, and their over-all cooperativeness. Very sincerely yours, EVA C BOSEMAN, Student Council President 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. Robert Schumann If you lend a friend five dollars and you never see him again, it's worth it. Strong reasons make strong actions. Shakespeare. /^**J 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. August. 1960 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. Page 3 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, Share a Grin Compiled by James DeVoe "I simply can't stand my hus- band's nasty disposition," wept the young bride, "Why. he's made me so jittery that I'm losing weight."

Newman Club News By Norman B, Elmore It is important in these days to identify oneself with a par- ticular club or group. First of all this gives an individual a sense of togetlierness. Member- ship in the Newman Club identi- fies one with the Catholic Church, Although the Newman Club was formed for Catholic students who are attending col- lege, any interested persons who 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. library sessions, and classes.

Valley 12-12 in Columbus Lead by senior halfback John Strong, the Savannah State Tigers fought the favored Fort Valley State Wildcats to a 12 to 12 tie in the spectactular Colum- bus Classic, Saturday, October 8. in Columbus. Georgia. Strong gained some 165 yards rushing and played an excellent defen- sive game. An estimated crowd of 5,500 was on hand for this evenly fought battle, Richard Anderson and James Bowens, two of SSC's starters, a halfback and guard respectively, were not among the starters. First Quarter SSC won the toss and John Edwards kicked to James Allen, who returned 20 yards to his 25- On the first play Ulysses Mar- shall ran off tackle for a gain of 6 yards to their own 31 yard line. On the next play Alien went off tackle for some 69 yards and the first TD of the game, putting the Wildcats out front 6 to 0. The conversion attempt was no good. Ralph Troutman kicked to John Strong, who returned 34 yards to his 45. Wilson picked 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. On the next play, Frank Tomp- kins went over guard for the score. The conversion attempt failed and the score was tied 6 to 6 as the period ended some two minutes later. Score: Fort Valley State 6. Savannah State 6, Second Quarter The Wildcats scored in the opening two minutes of the sec- ond quarter on a 25 yard pass from quarterback Ralph Trout- man to Allen putting the Wild- cats out front 12 to 6 after the conversion attempt failed. Both teams lost 60 yards each on penalties in this quarter and when the whistle blew to end the half, the Wildcats was lead- ing by a score of 12 to 6. Third Quarter Penalties Hurt Tigers : The Tigers" offense was stopped three times by penalties, but neverthe- less, the Tigers moved for four first downs to their 41, after which Robbins punted to Fort Valley's 9. Tigers Tie Score:: Strong car- ried three successive times for gains of 5. 20, and 35 yards placing the ball on the Wildcats' 3 yard line. The first attempt for the TD failed but on the next play, fullback George Sims went off guard for the score, the conversion attempt again failed, and the score stood at Fort Valley State 12, Savannah State 12, Fourth Quarter Both teams threatened, only to have their offense stopped by each others fine defense. Then came the game's most spectacular play. Nelson's toss intended for McGraw, was 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 the clock run out. SPORTS EDITOR Quarterbacks Dennis Nelson and Bobby Dunbar smile in agree- ment on the game tactics of the season.

Boston Photographer Robert Mobley Member of: INTERCOLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATED COLLEGE PRESS pncse COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION THE TIGER'S ROAR October. 1960 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. Signed: W. K. PAYNE. President 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 Student Council Politics and World News CASTRO 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.

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.

Box 353, Savannah State College, 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 three electoral voles of Nevada 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.

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 pleasure in presenting to you another interesting personality, that of Miss Marcelle E. Rhod- riquez. Miss Rhodriquez received the Bachelor of Science Degree from Florida A and M University with a major in Commercial Science. As a student at Florida, Miss Rhodriquez was an active par- ticipant in tile Business Guild, the Dormitory Council. Beta Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and Alpha Kappa Mu National Honor Society. She was also a full-time work stu- dent. Miss Rhodriquez gradu- ated from Florida A and M with Greater Distinction. Following graduation she ac- cepted a position as secretary in the Department of Personnel at Jackson College, Jackson, Mississippi. While at Jackson, she served as co-sponsor of Alpha Kappa Mu National Honor Society and sponsor of the un- dergraduate chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. She was one of the persons instrumental in establishing a chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority at Jackson College. Miss Rhodriquez received her Master of Science Degree in Counseling and Guidance with a minor in Business Education from Indiana University. Upon completion of this work, she joined the staff of Savannah State College in September, 1957. At present she is an instructor in the Division of Business and Counselor for Women in Camilla Hubert Hall. Here at Savannah State College, she sponsors the Camilla Hubert Hall Dormitory Council, and Delta Nu Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. In addition to this, she works with Alpha Kappa Mu National Honor Society, and she is a member of La Treizime Chaise Social Club, Savannah Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and St. Matthew's Episcopal Church. Miss Rhodriquez holds mem- bership in the following profes- sional organizations: The Ameri- can Personnel and Guidance As- sociation, The American College Personnel Association, and The Georgia Teacher Education As- sociation. Her hobbies are reading, bridge, television, and traveling. She has seen most of the United States and many foreign coun- tries. Her travels abroad include Havana. Cuba; Kingston, Jamaica; and Europe. The Euro- pean tour taken by Miss Rhod- riquez, the summer of 1959, in- cluded England. Holland. Bel- bium, Lpxembourg, Germany, Switzerland. Austria. Italy (Venice, Florence. Rome, Pisa). and Paris, France, Since Miss Rhodriquez has been at Savannah State College, she has contributed greatly to the aims and goals of the college and the community. The writer of this column takes great pride in presenting Miss Marcelle E. Rhodriquez as the faculty personality of the month. generation problems, aspirations, hopes and some of their solu- tions, read the writings of one of their high priest, Mr. Colin Wilson.

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 and hold. 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.

Brush imagi- nary dust from her shoulder, hold hands under the dinner table, touch your lips to the glass her lips have touched and don't worry if the gesture seems old hat or corny. These suggestions, for instance, come from a 2.000 year old treatise on "The Art of 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.

The California Test of Person- ality helps to identify and reveal the status of certain highly im- portant components in person- ality and social adjustment often referred to as "intangibles." It is designed to provide significant evidences of the personal and social adjustment of individual and groups, and to provide assistance in guidance.

October, 1960 THE TIGER'S ROAR 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." Page 7 Home at last.

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.

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, author Dale believes that the chances of war are remote, and even less are the chances of fore- seeable Soviet superiority over the United States. His article. "The State of the Free World." is condensed from the Yale Re- view. Student Union Biiil(ltn<>; Being Constructed The main floor of Hill Hall (the old library) is presently be- ing converted into a new student union building.

Elmore The members of the Boar's Head Club have made plans to publish a literary journal during the school year 1960-61. Since there are so many talented students in the creative writing field on campus the club thought it would be an ideal situation to use the talents of fellow students. Persons interested in submitting poems, short stories, or essays to is one that would be an asset to sion on the reliability and re- sponsibility of the student news- paper; Miss Virginia Mercer dis- cussed the responsibilities of the college paper; and Mr. Robert Mobley, director of audio-visual aids, discussed pictures and their role in the news. editor-in-chief, discussed laying- out the newspaper.

Pai^e 2 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. The Tiger's Roar Staff EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief .

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.

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. How Much Do Yoit Know About v. S. Presidents? Yu may find llial llio chief interest (ff lliis (luiz lies in the answers and in the discovery of liow liule you know ;il)out ihe history of the Presidency. 1. Who was the youngest man to be elected President? 2. What is the President's salary? .3. What state has contributed the tireatest number of Presidents? 4. What President never went to school ? 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.

The first one to Benedict Col- lege 67 to 6, the second to Albany State College 19 to and the third to Alabama State College 30 to 0. Benedict 67 to 6 In the game between the Tigers and Benedict College, the Tigers drew first blood with a 88 yard drive that placed them out front with a six-point lead in just three minutes of the first quarter. The Tigers held that lead for the entire first quarter and actually out played Benedict the first quarter, only to have the powerful Benedict squad come from behind in the second quar- ter to score some 35 points and lead by a score of 35 to 6 as the first half ended. From the time the whistle blew to start the second half until the final gun sounded the Benedict squad was in complete command, scoring some 32 more points making the final score 67 to 6.

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.

Foreign Science Literature is read by Yvonne McGlockton, De- loris Clark (center) and Juanita Quinn (right). The National Science Founda- tion has loaned an exhibit to the Savannah State College Library which emphasized For- eign Science Literature. The exhibit was designed to acquaint United States scientists and technologists with Foreign Science Literature which is cur- rently being translated into Eng- lish. The exhibit was a fold-up book translated Russian scientific and technical journals now available to American scientists. These journals are representative of leading Soviet journals in the following broad disciplines: Agri- culture, Astronomy. Biology Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Engi- neering and Technology, Mathe- matics, Medicine, Physics and Social Sciences. The exhibit also provided information on translation depository libraries in the United States and biblio- graphic periodicals which list and abstract new accessions and translated Russian literature. E. J, Josey, College Librarian, revealed that a quantity of Pamphlets, entitled "List of Russian Scientific Journals Available in English," were given away. Tliis pamphlet lists all current cover-to-cover translated Russian Journals, by discipline, and other pertinent information such as when the issue transla- tions were begun, how often a translated journal appears, and the agency where it may be obtained.

November 15. 1960 THE TIGER'S ROAR Miss SSC and her attendants lead the floats in the annual Homecomins parade. Left to right are Carolyn Campbell, Yvonne McGlockton (Miss SSC) and Gloria Byrd 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, Alpha s Sweetheart, glides along as "The Queen of Dreams," in the Homeconiing parade. This creation won first prize in the float competition. SECOND PLACE FLOAT. "CINDERELLA"; The division of Tech- nical Sciences float. "Cinderella," won the judges decision for the second place trophy in the annual Homecoming parade. Miss Mar- guerite Tiggs reigned as "Miss Technical Sciences." 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.

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.

Sa- vannah State College is enrich- ing its scientific program through worksliops, lectures, consultants, and conferences. A special conference on meteor- ology was held at Savannah State on December 1 and 2. Dr. B, T. Griffith, chairman of the Division of Natural Sciences, was conference director. In cooperation with the Ameri- can Meteorological Society, the Division of Natural Sciences pre- sented Dr. Robert T. Duquet, assistant professor of meteor- ology at Pennsylvania State Uni- versity. A pubhc meeting was held on Thursday, December 1, at 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., in Room 206 of the new Technical Science Center. All science teachers in the area and other interested persons were invited to take advantage of this opportunity to iearn more about our atmosphere and its phenomena and also job oppor- tunities in the field of meteor- ology. On Friday at 12:00 noon, in Meldrim Auditorium, Dr. Duquet addressed the student body at the weekly assembly. A Canadian citizen, born at Sherbrocke, Quebec, Dr. Duquet attended Loyola High School and Loyola College in Montreal, ob- taining from Loyola a B.S. de- gree in Physics in 1950.

J. Josey. Savannah State College Librarian, visited the Gifts and Exchange Division of the Library of Congress, Wash- ington, D. C. November 15 through 17, to select books from their duplicate collection. These books are made avail- able to libraries of educational institutions throughout the United States. Librarians obtained access to these materials through the courtesy of a United States Senator or Congressman from their respective states. Many of these books and monographs are discards from the Library of Congress Collec- tion, the Copyright Office (which is housed in the Library of Congress), and other Federal Libraries. Books published by American and foreign publishers, as well as government documents, are included in the duplicate collec- tion. Many libraries throughout the United States take advantage of Ihis service. Dr. Hubert T. Duquet, speaker for the Technical Science De- partment Assembly which was held in Meldrim Auditorium Decem- ber 1. 1960. Alpha Kappa Mu Elects Boseman, Mercer t^a C. Boseman, president of the Student Council, and Vir- ginia Mercer, both seniors at SSC, were elected to regional 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 from Alpha Nu Chapter were Dr. Elson K, Williams, regional di- rector of Region V and advisor to Alpha Nu Chapter: Mrs. Mar- garet C. Robinson: Yvonne Mc- Glockton, president of Alpha Nu Chapter; and Gladys Lambert. At the convention Gladys Lambert gave the only original contribution, which was the re- sult of a survey taken among the students of Savannah State Col- lege to obtain their attitude to- ward the candidates in the No- 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. iCoulinued on I'ligv 'J) 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, Marilyn Cole, Ada Carol Coxon, James J. Devoe, Marilyn Ellis, Norman B. Elmore, Charles H.

Panel, Skit Presented The Mary McLeod Bethume Chapter of the Student National Education Association presented two programs during American Education Week. They were a panel discussion and an original skit entitled "The Verdict is Yours." "The Verdict is Yours" was an original skit in which a school system was on trial for failing to strengthen the schools for the 60's. The setting was a court room. Any Town, U. S. A. The time was 1965. It was presented during the regular assembly pro- gram Thursday. Walter A. Mer- cer is adviser to the local SNEA and Regional Sponsor of SNEA- FTA for Region 11 of the GTEA. (/Carmen'' Proves Most Entertaining Savannah State students, faculty, and interested citizens were members of the apprecia- tive audience which enjoyed the National Opera Company's pre- sentation of Meilhac and Halevy's version of George Bizet's musical arrangement of "Carmen." Carmen, the tempestuous gypsy, was portrayed by Patricia Fraher; John Turner played Don Jose. David Goodling, with his marvelous fingering, accom- panied the artists on the piano. The opera was sung in English. The adaption was by Ruth and Thomas Martin. Sets were by Jeff Hill and WUliam Pugh, John Miller was production manager and Karl Kreiner, stage man- ager. John Newfield was stage director. The National Opera Company was incorporated under the name of the National Grass Roots Foundation. It was founded by A. J. Fletcher, lawyer and businessmen, of Raleigh. North Carolina. The movement is a non-stock, non-profit organ- ization. It is supported, in part, by private subscriptions. Since 1952, the Company has performed for more colleges and universities than all of the traveling grand opera companies in the United States combined.

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. Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: We have read with interest your very fine editions of the Savannah student newspaper. The Tiger's Roar must cer- tainly be considered the best college newspaper in this state, and certainly one of the best in the nation. Your journalistic ef- forts are commendable, and it is our hope that you will continue to pubUsh a paper such as you have done. Very sincerely. F. W. RENDER II.

Anonymous 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.

Unknown By Yvonne McGlockton 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: Delta Sigma Theta Sorority- Anna Cooper, sophomore, Sa- vannah; Dorothye Carter, sopho- more, Manchester; Marilyn Cole, senior, Savannah; and Gracie Whipple, junior, Savannah.

Paae 4 THE TIGER'S ROAR December 15. 1960 FEATURES Campus Spotlisht By Yvonne McGlockton Cnmpiis Spollighl, a regular Jcoliirc of Tiik Tictn's Roah. pays tribute 10 tiislinguishetl students who through their scliohrship, senice. loytilly anil iiitiiudes Iwvr iiii-rilnl ihi.s tribute. ^^K % 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. 3IENS FASHIONS By Eddie Bryant 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. Now let us look at our trim silhouettes, narrower brimed hats For men on their way up, authoritative fashions are here for you. in colors of gray, brown, greenest tan. or shady brown, that cater to a man's sense of individuality. 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. Did You Know? By Norman Elmore ^That there are forty-one newly initiated Greeks on our cam pas? That the Boar's Head Club will again sjwnsor another series of select films for the college family? That the renovation of Herty Hall is nearing completion? That the Savannah State College Marching Band has been v/jdely acclaimed for its per- formances on various occasions? 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.

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. Paine came back after the intermission and drove 65 yards for its touchdown. Charlie Pryor scoring from the six. Then SSC bounced back, hammering 74 yards in six plays for the final score.

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.

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." ^e "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.

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.

Hampton, assistant professor of fine arts at Savan- nah State College, provide in 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.

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. Signed: W. K. Payne, President MESSAGE FROM THE PRESH^EN I OF IHE STUDENT COUNCH. Dear Fellow Students: As the winter quarter begins, it is my sincere hope that it will be a very successful one for each of you.

World News Pol it Irs and W Orhl JSeivs By James DeVoc (;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. Federal Judge W. A. Boutle. in handing down the decision, said the two Negro applicants. Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton E Holmes, both of Atlanta, arc fully qualified for admission to the state university and would have been admitted except for their race. 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?

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.

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.

Page 4 THE TIGER'S ROAR January, 1961 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 (Contiimed on Pugc 0) Honor Roll (Ciiiilinued frum I'age 8) Mildred B.

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. FUN FARE Creative Poetry QUOTABLE QUOTES One reason Americans won't go Communist is that when they hear the shout. "Workers, arise." they think it's time for the cof- fee break. Modern paintings are like women. You'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them. In marriage it's not as impor- tant to pick the right person as to be the right partner. Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon and the deeper it sinks into the mind.

Nor let it rattle like the sum- mer's gourd; But keep it flowing with the good things of life, Till it sings a song like the piper's fife. Awake to a new day; awake with a smile. And add noteworthy thoughts to your mental file. Greet the rising of the most nourishing sun; And hall of your day's work is already done.

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 Prince Jackson, Jr., SSC Alumni Secretary, Is Yearl)ook Consultant Prince Jackson, Jr., received the B,S, degree in mathematics from Savannah State College in 1949, graduating as valedictorian of the class.

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. YVONNE McGLOCKTON Associate Editor, is Discussant.

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. ROBERT MOBLEY College Photographer, is General News Photographer Consultant. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

March, 1961 THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 3 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.

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! Men's; Fashions By Eddie W. Bryant. Jr, 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. AroiinrI the World On a Penny (ACP) A 26-year-old Peru- vian traveling around the world "on a penny" in an effort to fur- t h e r international friendship emphasized greater understand- ing between North and South America in a stop at the Univer- sity of Redlands, Redlands, Calif. In an interview with the RED- LANDS BULLDOG, Alejando Sanchez, acting project chief of the Pan Americanist Organiza- tion of Youths, urged people in the United States not to talk about North and South America but about the "Americas." and to "recognize that the countries of South America are not a small and forgotten world but have great accomplishments and a heritage to their credit." The Tiger's 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." Creative Poetry LONELINESS By Charles H. Lee Restless and longing is engulfing me. For want of you no contentment I see. To gaze into your beautiful eyes. Would quiet this raging feverent tide. Pacing and turning in my lonely room. While her vision rises it's full- nessloom. Peace be unto this desperate heart. For real true love must play its part. 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 despair, This loneliness I am much aware. Come, my dove, on silken feet, And quiet my heart in it's rest- less beat. PASSIONS By Charles H. Lee Passions of youth must live. To nature's splendor give. In beat and touch of hand; Encircling all the land. To this title sing praises then; To your ear this petition lend. For want of cohesive tranquil thoughts, For this great men have end- lessly sought. Oh! all Bounteous nature your acres. Exait and rejoice and hear the takers.

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 Bryant Represents Pan-Hellenic Council at Grambling College Eddie W.

Page 2 THE TIGER'S ROAR April. 1961 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 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. The Tiger's Roar Staff ALPHONSO McLEAN Editor-in-Chief EDITORIAL 0>lum/it.

The Librarian hastily pointed out that funds from the "Friends" group will not be a substitute for appropriation for books but will supplement the College Library's book fund.

TIGER'S ROAR LAST MONTH PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL LAWN PAR EWS COVERAGE IN PHOTOS Pag THE TIGER'S ROAR June 6. 1961 FEATURES 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 ; and currently Librarian and As- sociated Professor. Savannah State College (July 1, 1959). While he was in Delaware, Mr. Josey was quite active in pro- fessional organizations. He was the first Negro to edit the Dela- ware Library Association Bulle- tin, As a member of the Dela- 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.

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.

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.
