Importance of the College Newspaper

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

The college newspaper Is an
Instrument of mass communica-
tion on campus. It is a publica-
tion by which the students may
speak or voice their conceptions
through editorials, feature sto-
ries, poems, etc.

This also raises the question
of freedom of the student publi-

cation versus control. The col-
lege newspaper represents the
students and gives them a
chance to debate and test ex-
perimental thoughts, emotions,
and beliefs. A free college news-
paper 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.

Presidenfs Message

Every generation of college students faces new and changing
conditions. Many students appear to be worried about the lack of
ability to finance their college education. This in itself is not new
or different in American higher education. This condition has
persisted since colonial days. It is no exaggeration to state that
today the number and variety of sources of financial assistance
have never been as numerous. Few college students, however, are
willing to believe this statement. It appears that a number of
factors may be responsible for the apparent shortage.

In many instances, college students and high school seniors
have failed to do specific planning for a college career. Applications
for aid have been filed at times when the student would be least
likely to receive help. Many of the applications, when filed, have
been executed in a manner that tended to discourage the accept-nce
of the student. When applications are filed a month or two before
the college opens, most of the funds for that year have been
exhausted. If applications are not properly filled, contain omissions,
erasures, mistakes in spelling and punctuation, some doubt is raised
concerning the validity of the risk. Agencies and individuals wish
to make certain that students are able and willing to do acceptable
and superior grades of college work.

Another factor which makes it appear that financial aid is
scarce is the lack of acquaintance with available resources. There
is a wealth of literature describing hundreds of sources of aid.
Almost every student of college caliber could qualify for aid under
several agencies. The ability of a student to wade through informa-
tion and discover which one meets his condition best is one index
of his ability to succeed,

A third factor which contributes to the apparent scarcity Is
the lack of initiative and drive. Students who are willing to work
can find many opportunities to supplement their major source of
income. This willingness must be accompanied by the desire to
perform first class service wherever one Is employed. This trait
and characteristic should be exemplified in every type of job
opportunity as well as in the academic program. Students must
have enough drive and initiative to make their needs and desires
known to the people who are in position to assist them.

Every year hundreds of college students fall out of college
because no one knows that extent of their financial need. Most
lending agencies are not interested in mediocre or sub-standard
college work. The best assurance that can be provided for one
who needs help Is a good record as an individual and as a college
student. Few. if any, funds are available for the mentally soft or
the social outlaw. There are millions available for students who
have plans for their development, who show that they can profit
by a college education, and who exercise initiative to move forward
to their chosen objectives and goals.

By SAMUEL M. TRUELL

87lh Coiifiressi Ailjoums

Congress adjourned with moderate success after a long hectic
battle between liberals, radicals, conservatives and congressional
neutralists in an endeavor to legislate for their respective consti-
tuents. Liberals and radicals alike tried endlessly to push President
Kennedy's progressive measures measures which his chief lobbyist,
Larry O'Brien, claimed to congressional leaders were designed to
compete with the prevailing chaos presently at hand.

As for his success with Congress, this youth chief executive
who was elected more so on his father's financial influence, together
with his brother's vast popularity in Washington, than by his own
capabilities, had little or nothing to say when questioned about the
recent session of Congress. But it can plainly be stated that he is
everything but complacent regarding the matter.

Nevertheless, Democrats are cheering their success and Republi-
cans are cheering the failures.

In such fields as minimum wage, housing and aid for depressed
areas, Kennedy's measures were passed with much facilitation. But
some of the more liberalized bills passed with much more difficulty-
Mr. Kennedy failed to get exactly what he wanted in his arbitrable
and remote foreign aid bill. He also failed to procure medical care
for the aged, and his highly controversial education bill was put
off until Congress convenes next year. To the satisfaction of south-
ern conservatives his civil rights promises were also sidetracked,

In consequence, the past session was moderate, liberals were
dissatisfied for lack of action and Senator Barry Goldwater and his
cults are crying that things are still moving with too much haste.

Washinfjtoii Should Take Drastic Action Against Kremlin

Last month President Kennedy sent Vice President Lyndon B.
Johnson and German hero General Lucius B. Clay to West Berlin.
These two were sent to Berlin by the incumbent president to assure
the Berliners that the United States government intends to stand
firm on its vital interest in the isolated city.

This symbolic move was also intended to boost the morale of
the Berlin people, a people somber and melancholy and so full
with fear of all-out war that they tend to become unconcerned
about their own fate and destiny. These oppressed people need
more than a morale boost, they need evidence evidence that the
western world will give them more than lip service, but strong
support in time of war. A small boy may not dare defend himself
against a fellow larger than himself, but if big brother appears
on the scene, the smaller boy will not procrastinate for long.

This writer is by no means in favor of war, but he does believe
that the United States should take effective action against the
conspirators. Negotiations with the Russians has proven time and
time again to be futile due to each country's failure to concede to
the other. Washington should initiate an economic blockade against
the Russians and cease all commercial ties with the Red world.
Commercial wise, the Communists need us more than we need them
and furthermore, our president has bluntly asserted that Americans
have borne burdens before and will not abandon them now, I agree
with Mr. Kennedy on this particular point.

kdmm Freedom For .411 follege Students

From the Desk of the Editor
WILLIAM D. HAGINS

Academic freedom has become one of the central issues of the
times. If we forget the importance of academic freedom in an
institution of higher learning, then our learning is in vain. The
following paragraphs from Robert Maclver's Academic Freedom
In Our Time will give perspective on the subject:
"The freedom to express and

to defend his views or his be-
liefs, the freedom to question
and to differ, without authorita-
tive repression and without
scholastic penalization, is the
academic freedom the students
particularly needs.

"The academic freedom of the
student fits admirably into the
academic freedom of the teacher.
In this relationship the teacher
has properly the initiative. It is
not for him to preach a cause or
to expect the student to take his
mere say-so on any matter con-
cerning which men dispute. But
it is for him to state his reasoned
conclusions on matters within
the area of his instruction. Here
he is appealing to the student's
own reasoning powers, and how
can he do so effectively unless
the student is at liberty to ques-
tion the findings of the teacher?
The latter should do so with re-
spect for the teacher's greater
experience but nonetheless with
the readiness to follow his own
reason wherever It leads.

"The congeniality between the
intellectual freedom of the
teacher and that of the student
appears also in the fact that any
curtailing of the teacher's free-
dom of thought or of expression
reacts on the attitude of the
students. The more thoughtful
among them, the better students
in other words, become uneasily
aware that a teacher is not a free
man and lose their respect for
him and their trust in the hon-
esty of his teaching. They be-
come more skeptical, even cyni-
cal, and are often inclined to be-
lieve that the suppressed doc-
trine must have virtue in it.

"To develop his intellectual ca-
pacities and to be truly enlisted
in the honest search for the
truth of things, the student must
be free to exercise his own rea-
soning powers in the processes
of instruction. This primary re-
quirement receives further im-
petus if outside the classroom he
is not enmeshed in an elaborate
system of institutional controls."

Wanted:
Leadership

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

In considering preparation for
leadership, we are to be mindful
of the qualities sought in a lead-
er. The qualities which are es-
sential for effective leadership
are: The ability to think clearly
and logically, the ability to ac-
cept criticism, the feeling of
security, and a sense of respon-
sibility. A good leader must also
have foresight, thoughtfulness.
respectfulness, and above all,
freedom from bigotry. Leader-
ship also necessitates education.
We must note that an educated
person is one who is capable of
doing the right thing at the
right time. The qualities just
mentioned are not usually in-
herited, but are developed over
a period of time by special ef-
forts.

As the leaders of tomorrow,
we should be mindful of our re-
sponsibilities. The weight of the
world is thrust upon our shoul-
ders because we are college men
and women and the masses look
to us to assume the mantle of
leadership.

We should face life's problems
just as George Washington Car-
ver, Booker T, Washington, Ab-
raham Lincoln. Thomas Paine,
Ralph Bunche and the other
great leaders have done. These
men had the courage and the
will power to take the helm in
the midst of perilous situations
and lead their people to a new
destiny.

Now it is our task and duty to
launch out and do likewise. Are
we willing to do our part? Are
we willing to meet the world's
demand for leadership and steer
our people in the right course of
action in order to preserve de-
mocracy?

DEMOCRACY

By CHARLES A. PHILLIPS

Democracy is a government by
the people either directly or by
elected representatives.

Democracy is a lot of things
both large and small. It's a hot
dog at a baseball game, it's your
radio, your neighbor's, and his
neighbor's all tuned to a differ-
ent station, yes, democracy is
you, living from day to day un-
der a system that recognized the
worth and dignity of each hu-
man being.

Democracy is you inasmuch as
it stands guard over you, your
family, and your home, your
schools, and your right to wor-
ship when and where you please,
as well as to speak your own
mind-

Put yourself in this picture.
There's a knock on your door in
the night, your family is awak-
ened by the noise, you go to the
door trembling in your shoes.
When you finally open the door
you see two policemen standing
there staring you in the eyes,
they quickly push you aside and
begin to search through every
closet and bureau searching for
something of which you haven't
any knowledge. All of a sudden
one picks up a book and says:
A book by a foreign writer, then
just come along with us. But of
course this is impossible because
behind you stands the Constitu-
tion which states: The right of
the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, paper, and ef-
fects, shall not be violated. So
you see because of democracy
you couldn't really be in this
picture, could you?

FASHIONS

Magenta:
The College Rage

Sweaters, skirts, dresses, coats
and blouses all come In a stun-
ning and ravishing new color
called "magenta." It is a lavish-
ing new color between red and
maroon, and is worn very well
with black, white, and certain
shades of gold.

Girls, if you are adding a few
clothes to your wardrobe or hav-
ing trouble deciding on match-
ing the colors of the ones which
you already have then why not
take a few suggestions? For that
double-breasted or four-button
suit that will be so popular for
the "Homecoming Game" or any
other special occasion magenta
is a very favorable color. For
that leather Jacket or long coat
that is the talk of the campus,
and that coat sweater magenta
Is a beautiful color and comes in
a number of plaids. For the rab-
bit fur sweater, mink collar, and
that special racoon fur for suits
and coats which can be bought
dyed to match any color, for a
change try magenta.

Girls' shoes, bags, hats, gloves
and jewelry come in magenta
also to match that special white
dress for concerts and banquets.

A magenta 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 ma-
genta and some matching con-
trasting colors.

The
Continental Look

By CHARLES ANDRE PHILLIPS

It's in and it's going strong.
Accentuated with a detachable
belt, cuffs on the sleeves, solid
colors as well as muted plaids
and side vents. By the descrip-
tion above I know that you have
readily figured what I am speak-
ing of. That is if you consider
yourself to be Ivy or just up-to-
date with the latest fashions on
campus and elsewhere. You're
right, it is the double-breasted
continental suit and sportcoat in
either the four or six-buttoned
model. If you have noticed, the
majority of the fellows on cam-
pus are jumping clean in either
one of these two models So I
can only gather that Savannah
State College believes in being
up-to-date in styling as well as
many other things.

The latest addition to the very
popular and colorful sweater line
is the Big City Model sweater
This sweater is altogether differ-
ent and completely new. It is
accentuated with a knitted belt
with a leather buckle which is
completely removable if desired.
This sweater is a cardigan which
buttons all the way up to the
neck, and completes the button
with a roll collar. It is of one
hundred per cent virgin wool
and comes in several of the most
popular ivy colors: black, olive,
navy, taupe and white,

A must in your wardrobe
should be plain-front trousers,
that is, without any pleats, and
button-down shirts in solid col-
ors, stripes and fancies. Along
with this, you must also have the
most popular selection of ties,
and of course, the majority must
reps. As far as shoes are con-
cerned, please have some dirty
sneaks and cordovans in either
plain toe or wing-tip. That's all
for now; see you later.

A Tribute to Dag Hammarskjold

By JAMES T. DEVOE

Dag Hammarskjold was a remarkable man. As the Secretary-
General of the United Nations, he was a bridge between East and
West, He remained the link between East and West, in spite of
Russia's desire to remove him from his position.

His years as secretary-general
will be labeled as turbulent years
by future historians, when they
begin to chronicle the history of
this great organization During
his tenure, he dealt with the
Palestine question, the United
States flyers held as prisoners in
China, the Suez crisis, the revolt
In Hungary, the problem of Leb-
anon, the crisis In Laos, the Cu-
ban crisis, and the fiasco in the
Congo.

In the space alloted to me. it
would be difficult to comment on
all of the problems encountered
by Dag Hammarskjold as out-
lined above, so let us look at one
of his problems, the Congo.

Dag Hammarskjold's difficul-
ties stemmed from the fact that
the United Nations was called
upon to undertake a task for
which the machinery did not
exist. This task was to help
mold a new nation, and at the
same time, prevent the former
colonial power, Belgium, from
establishing a puppet state with-
in the province of the new na-
tion. He tried to avoid allowing
this nation to fall victim to the
cold war. This was to no avail,

Induction of Camilla Hubert Hall officers.

The Camilla Hubert Hall
Council is an organization made
up of all the residents of Camilla
Hubert Hall, The old residents
have extended a hearty welcome-
and a helping hand to all the
new students.

The council met and elected
its officers for the year. Ira
Snelson was elected to the office
of president with Delores Bowen
to assist her as vice president.
The other officers are: Nora Wil-
liams, secretary; Annie Banks,
assistant secretary; Louise La-

mar, treasurer, and Mary Moss,
chaplain.

The installation of the newly
elected officers was held in an
impressive, ceremony on Sunday.
October 1, 1961. in the lobby of
Camilla Hubert Hall, with Mrs,
Margret C. Robinson administer-
ing the oaths of office. The
theme for the occasion was "The
Great Pillows of a Temple" Miss
Margie Lecount presided.

The council hopes that with
cooperation of each resident, this
year will be a most enjoyable and
prosperous one.

the problem of the Congo was
crisis diplomacy, and In spite of
the secretary-general's adminis-
trative ability and diplomatic
foresight, he was unable to bring
harmony and peace to this young
nation. This Inability was not
Hammarskjold's fault, but
stemmed from the many years
of colonialism, oppression and
bigotry practiced by the Bel-
gians,

We believed that the United
Nations has been right In this
action In the Congo, We are
sorry that Mr. Hammarskjold
had to die in this venture. We
hope and pray that Mr. Ham-
marskjold's death will not be in
vain. The world has lost a great
statesman.

CREATIVE POETRY

I Woirt Tell It

By Dan Wilson

Come on. tell me your secret.
And I promise I won't say a word.
I won't repeat it to my mother.
Really! Not even to a passing
bird.

What's that? Your nickname is
"fatty!"

Why you're the skinniest thing
I've ever seen.

Forgive me for crltclzing, I some-
times talk too much;

But that skeleton of yours is
awfully lean.

Stop laughing? Of course, I'll

stop laughing.
Now don't worry. Your secret is

safe with me.
Looking at those skinny knees

of yours,
I swear. I don't see how it can be.

You say you've got to go home

now?
Don't worry, I'll never tell it.
Your secret is too darn good to

tell;
That's why I'm going out and

yell it.

To Catch Your Love

By Dan Wilson

To catch your love, you've got to
be quick!

For slowness will surly cost you
your prize.

But once you've caught her, hold
her real tight:

And always tell the truth, flav-
ored with lies.

To catch your love, you've got to

be strong
For at times the case lasts for

days,
So never give chase on a empty

stomach
And my friend, you'll find that

it pays.

To catch your love, you've got to

be sly
And let her have her way at any

cost.

"Wliat's in a Day?"

By Veronica Owens

Some of life's days are ralnbow-

Having no dark phantoms to ob-
scure them;

They sparkle and shine with the

Illuminance of Keats' "Bright
Star;"

And smile as propitiously as
"Helios"

On earth's Inhabitants from
afar.

On these coveted days, nothing
less than

Life's advantageous components
are Imbued;

Enticing the indulgent and am-
bitious to pursue them.

A-h-h-h, but think not preten-
tious ones.

That "Helios" sends every day
your way;

For beware, the somberness of
Bembrandt's "Night Watch"

Is encompassed in many a day;

And some days have the melan-
choly mood of

"The Deserted Village" to sup-
plement your dismay.

The days that "Pegasos" chooses
to send will be

Forever exempt of suns.

And opportunities will seem to
fly and stay beyond your
zenith!

Alas! The golden days of empy-
rean.

With seraphims in the sky;

Or days that have as sunshine.

Clouds of gloom, remorse, dis-
content, and woe;

When "Pegasos" takes pride in
making

Every friend a foe.

Both these types, without a
doubt, should eliminate dis-

Dies As a Result of An Injury Valley; Columbus Classics

How i Remember Wendell Mcintosh

By REDELL WALTON

This edition of Tiger's Roar is being dedicated to Wendell
Mcintosh in memory of one of the most loved members of our
college family. Wendell was a tackle on our football team and was
injured during practice October 5 and because of this injury he
passed away Friday October 13. 1981 at 5:30 a.m.

Wendell was a graduate of Ballard-Hudson High School of
Macon Georgia and while attending high school he never partici-
pated in football because his parents objected.

Mack, as called by most of his friends joined our family in
September of '59 where he immediately began participating in
football, and the following spring quarter he played baseball also.

He was a junior majoring in physical education and was an
active member of the Physical Education Club. He also was the
president of the Lampados Club of Omega Psi Phi fraternity and
one of his main goals was to become a member of this fraternity.

It is really touching to the college family, because he never got
the chance to participate in a single game this year.

Mack was a fellow who was good humored, I can't remember
one time that I saw him angry with anyone.

Personally, I think Mack was 'one of the finest fellows in all
respects that I have ever met. To me a dear friend has been lost
and to "Savannah State College" a great football player and an
equally great member of our family has passed on to the great
beyond.

When a fellow risks his hfe for the college he loved and loses
It, the only thing that can be said is that the entire community is
at a great loss, for there is no greater love than the love of a man
who laid down his life for his friends.

Tigers Edged
By Waters, 3-0

By THERMAN THOMAS

The Savannah State Tigers lost
its first game of the season by
being edged by a score of 3-0 as
the result of an 18-yard field
goal.

SSC Tigers' predominately
freshman squad played a score-
less first half. The Tiger starting
team sporting six freshmen on
their starting team held the Wa-
ters team at will as expected by
many. The Tigers' defensive
might proved too much for any
sort of running attack, the Wa-
ters team, unlike the Tigers,
was dependent upon its well ex-
perienced senior laden club, who
last year gained recognition by
tieing powerful conference
cliamp Albany State.

Moses Herring, freshman quar-
terback, provided the only of-
fensive thrill of the afternoon by
breaking momentarily into the
open only to be stopped by a lone
Waters defender.

The lone score of the day came
on a field goal by Waters half-
back Walter Jackson, who kicked
tiie decisive three-pointer.

Standouts for the Tigers were
guards George Johnson, Willie
Simmons, center Calvin Roberts,
tackle Bernard Lewis, end Fred
Carter, halfback Robert Saxby,
who displayed his defensive abil-
ity by stopping five of the Ed-
ward Waters aerials.

The Tigers next game will be
next week when they play Fort
Valley State College,

Savannah State
Ties Morris, 0-0

The Savannah State College
Tigers put on a strong defensive
show and battled the Morris Col-
lege Hornets to 0-0 deadlock in
a conference game played in
Sumter,

The Tigers' much relied on
passing attack was stalled all
evening by the high gusts of
wind and a hard charging Morris
College line.

The Tigers blocked two punts
deep in Morris territory to halt
Morris drives but the Tigers
could never get started. On three
different occasions, the Tigers
penetrated deep into Morris ter-
ritory but penalties, fumbles and
a stout defense drove them back,

McArthur Pratt led the Tiger
offensive machine with 88 yards
rushing. One run covered 55
yards. Willie Lattimore led Mor-
ris with 34 yards on eight carries.

Blocked punts by Benjamin
Spann and Fred Carter gave the
Tigers two chances to score, but
a total of 80 yards in penalties
kept them bottled up.

S.S.C. Wins
Classic, 14-7

By REDELL WALTON

The Savannah State College
football team won the second
annual Chattahoochee Classic by
defeating Fort Valley State Col-
lege by a score of 14-7, The game
was held in Memorial Stadium
in Columbus, Georgia and was
witnessed by some 5.000 specta-
tors in somewhat chilly weather.
The win was the Tigers first in
two contests this season.

In the first half the game ap-
peared to be a battle of defens-
ive teams. The half ended with
the score deadlocked at to 0.
Two minutes after the second
half got under way Fort Valley
marched from their 30 yard line
to the 40 yard line of Savannah
State, The next play William
Hogan went straight up the mid-
dle and scored for the first score
of the game, Clifford Brown
booted the extra point. Savan-
nah State took the ball after re-
ceiving the kickoff and moved
into the Fort Valley end zone.

Quarterback Moses Herring got
the Savannah State attack roll-
ing in this drive by flipping a
25-yard pass to Thomas "Sugar"
Williams. Herring rolled around
end and went to pay dirt from
the nine yard line. Pratt missed
the conversion on an attempted
run. The third quarter ended
with Fort Valley leading 7 to 6,

After the fourth quarter got
under way Fort Valley had to
give up the ball on downs and
punted to Savannah State Col-
lege, After taking the ensuing
punt the Tigers rolled into action
again. This time McArthur Pratt
connected on a 35-yard pass
play to Henry Haunders who was
stopped on the 25-yard line,
Fullback Freddie Myers bulled
his way across for the winning
touchdown. Myers then added
the conversion with a run. Fort
Valley attempted a pass that was
intercepted by Freddie Myers.
Savannah State then held the
ball until time ran out. Out-
standing defensively for the Ti-
gers were Fred Carter, Calvin
Roberts, Willie Simmons, Thom-
as Glover, Thomas Williams,
Robert Soxley and Tommy Da-
vis,

Basketball Squad
Starts Drills Nov. 1

By REDELL WALTON

The basketball team will begin
its 1961-62 basketball drill on
November 1, The squad will be
drilling under the watchful eye
of coach Ted Wright, who has
had much success in guiding the
team for the past three years.
Over the last three-year period
the team has won 80 games
while losing only 12, The same
squad will be put into action this
year by Coach Wright that is
responsible for this glorious rec-
ord. The starting team will be
composed of five seniors. These
seniors enrolled here as fresh-
men three years ago. Four of
them are from the same home
town and grew up together. The
fifth prepped in the vicinity of
the Big O.

One of the main purposes for
the success of the team has been
a 21-year-oId lad from Chicago
by the name of Redell Walton.
Walton led the team in scoring
for three consecutive years. He
was outstanding as a freshman
and he improved with each sea-
son. As a freshman he averaged
17 points per game, as a sopho-
more 22 points per game, and
last year he was voted an All-
American berth while averaging
25 points per game. He is the
first basketball All-American In
the history of the school,

Walton has not by any chance
been responsible for the entire
success of the team. His four
running buddies have each
shared in the spotlight, Ira Jack-
son has been very valuable. He
has led the team in rebounding
three straight years, and has
been the number two scorer.
Captain of the team James Dix-
on, known as the take charge
guy, is a very fine player. He is
only 5' 4" but he makes up for
it with his speed and ability to
handle the ball. Willie Tate, a
player who always seems to get
better in the clutch, is very de-
pendable. He can play the front
court or the back court and Is
just as effective playing either.
Tate has been the No. 3 man on
the squad, Steve Kelley is a very
slick ball handler and passer. He
is one of the most effective back
court players around today.
Without him the squad would be
to a great disadvantage.

A lot will be expected from
Johnny Mathis (no relation to
the famous singer i. A sophomore
who is now an experienced play-
er and should be ready to step
into the collegiate ranks.

Other returning lettermen are:
Leon Wright, Paul Thompson,
William Day, Raymond Harper,
and Harvey Bailey.

So the Tigers will be looking
forward to a very successful sea-
son. Come out and cheer the
team to victory.

vannah State College Choral So-
ciety under the direction of

man of the Department of Fine
Arts at 6 o'clock in Wilcox Gym-
nasium on the college campus.
There was ample seating for
the anticipated audience which
looked forward to this tradi-
tional musical event. It was
open to everyone without charge.

The center of attraction for
this concert was the famous
oratorio by George Frederic
Handel The Messiah, the

haps more often than any other
musical composition in exist-
ence. The sections heard fea-
tured several soloists as well as
the Choral Society.

The soprano solists were Mar-
garet Tilson, a freshman music
major from Savannah, and Jua-
nita Moon, a senior music major
also from this city. The other
solos were sung by Mrs. Eudora
Moore Allen, a junior music mi-
nor from Savannah- John Cal-
vin Reed, a sophomore from
Sylvania was heard for the
first time as one of the tenor
soloists. Another sophomore
from Sylvania, James Weldon
Johnson, likewise did a tenor
solo. Joshua Walker, a sopho-
more from Savannah, and Lau-
ney F. Roberts Jr., a graduate
and now a local public school
teacher, were heard in leading
bass solos. Rose Marie Over-
street, a junior music major
from Sylvania, provided a pi-
ano accompaniment while James
Thompson, Jr., a member of the
Fine Arts faculty, was at the
organ. Dr. Braithwaite con-
ducted an augmented group
that included members of the
college Choral Society, Men's
Glee Club, faculty, alumni and
community singers.

Staging for the performances
were under the direction of Felix
J. Alexis, Superiniendent of
Buildings and Grounds, the ush-
ers were members of the Mar-
shal Board under the supervi-
sion of Miss Althea Williams.

The music heard consisted of
the following: The Overture,
played by Miss Overstreet and
Mr. Thompson; The Recitative,
Comfort Ye, sung by Mr. Reed;
the tenor Air, Every Valley Shall
Be Exalted, by Mr. Johnson; the
chorus. And The Glory of The
Lord; the bass Recitative, Thus
Saith The Lord of Hosts, and the
Air. But Who May Abide The
Day of His Coming, both sung
by Mr. Roberts; the chorus. And
He Shall Purify; the alto Reci-
tative, Behold, A Virgin Shall
Conceive Sung by Mrs. Allen; the
Alto Air and Chorus, O Thou
That Tellest Good Tidings; the
bass Recitative, For, Behold,
Darkness Shall Cover The Earth,
and the bass Air, The People
That Walked In Darkness, both

and the chorus. Hallelujah.

Everyone enjoyed this annual
event.

illllAL CHRISTMAS Uim IS SliCllESS

The Home Economics Club sponsored its Annual Christmas
Bazaar Thursday, December 7, 1961 in Hammond Hall.

Every club member was busily engaged in serving delicious
barbecue chicken, ribs, and chitterling dinners for seated guests, and
preparing hot fish sandwiches from Brown's Sea Food Market or
sending out dinners for patrons who had little time to relax over
the noon hour,

The special note in the pastry goods was pink devil food and
grated orange layer cakes, the velvety chocolate fudge and raisin
drop cookies. The individual lemon and sweet potato pies are
favorite perennials.

The freshman students are to be highly commended for their
over-all participation in aiding with keeping the wheels oiled for
all phases of the operating units; the sophomores for serving din-
ners, the juniors for handling baked good sales and take out orders
and seniors for waiting.

Vernita Wright took the leadership for building decoration and
music and Anna Cooper as general manager for engineering the
success for the entire annual.

The Gamma Zeta Chapter of
the Phi Beta Sigman Fraternity.
Inc.. became an official repre-
sentative for the Christmas

State College campus Friday.
The objective of this drive is to
provide a channel by which the
generous, warm-hearted people
on tlie campus may give cheer
at Christmas time to our less
fortunate citizens who would

otherwise face a destitute and
unhappy yuletlde.

The Christmas Stocking Fund
has the seal of approval of the

ger as student general chairman
and Dr. J. L. Wilson, Director
of Secondary Education at Sa-
vannah State College, as faculty

THE SPIRIT OF rHRlSTIUS

Thanksgiving has come and gone for this year. Most of us,
probably celebrated it in the usualy gay manner without giving
much thought to its true meaning.

We have now returned to our classes to complete the last few
weeks of required study for the quarter, in jolly anticipation of
the approaching Christmas holidays. Let us not make the same
mistake that we made in our celebration of Thanksgiving, too
much festivity and not enough reverence. Let us remember that
Christmas is really the birth of Christ. It is a day that we should
hold in high esteem above all others in the year. We should be
thankful, especially at Christmas time, for the birth of our Savior
and seize the opportunity to thank Him for all the blessings, too
numerous to name, that He has bestowed upon us.

In our gift giving, let us remember the true spirit. The wise
men gave gifts to our Savior because it was a tradition in the
ancient days never to approach a king without a gift. The wise
men knew that Christ was truly a king and the gifts that they
gave Christ were given from the depths of their hearts.

Today, we have a different conception of gift giving than that
of the wise men. Merchants use gift giving at Christmas time as
an opportunity to augment their trade. Employers use gift giving
as a means showing appreciation to their employees, but aside
from this, they also give gifts as an inducement for more work from
their employees. Many of us simply give gifts because others do it,
without the true spirit of giving. When we exchange gifts, let us
try to feel as the wise men must have felt as they gave their gifts
to Christ. We must remember also that the greatest gift that we
may exchange at Christmas time, or any time, is sincere reverence,
thankfulness, forgiveness, brotherhood, and a mutual desire for
peace and happiness among humanity,

The writer of this article is gently trying to remind the read&r
of the coming Christmas season and asking that we do not neglect
to observe it's true meaning.

After Christmas, comes the New Year. In making our resolu-
tions, let us not forget to include more study for the next quarter
and more cooperation and togetherness with our fellow students
so that we may aid in making the student body of Savannah State
College truly one to be admired.

The Verdict Is Yours

Savannah State College is one of the few institutions of higher
learning in the southern region with such an abundance of

natural beauty. Persons on a tour of the city often stop to admire
the college "where grassy plains and palms abound."

And since the college is home to us. it seems only natural that
we should constantly endeavor to maintain that beauty for which
our college is noted.

But recently it has been observed that a large number of
students leaving chapel traverse the lawn in a mad dash to the
dining hall instead of using the walkways provided. Even more
Important, however, than the possible damage to the lawn is the
indictment upon ourselves as college men and women.

Definitely, this is not the time nor the place for retrogression.
And while it seems that we have learned that the shortest distance
between two points is a straight line, and that one can reach his
destination even faster if he runs, we ought not to forget the
amendities of life. Maturity, socially acceptable conduct, and
appreciation for the finer things in life are intrinsic, that is,
embodied in the concept of college men and women.

The question is. therefore, are we or are we not college men
and women?

It is hoped that this article and the question posed above will
disturb you, the student body, so that some positive action will be
taken to stymie "lawn crossing." This is your problem. Recognize
it^then do something about it. The verdict is yours.

Good Leadership
Based Upon Faith

By Roscoe Edwards, Jr.
Freshman Editor

What is leadership actually
based on?

Leadership is mainly based
upon four faiths.

The first, "Faith in God" upon
which rest all worthy accom-
plishments of our civilization.
Leaders who base their beliefs
and purposes upon faith in God
have survived the efforts of ty-
rants and dictators. They have
become successful guiders, have
inspired great projects and have
strengthened the principals of
democracy.

Secondly, good leadership de-
pends upon the "Faith in our-
selves." The well known adage
As a man thinketh in his heart.
so is he." brings to light the
great quality of ambition. If
one thinks that he has the abil-
ity and potentiality to lead, to
organize and to control situa-
tions, he will prove his worth
with all energies and talents. He
will develop abilities that will
take care of life and which will
prove essential to the preserva-
tion of human rights and per-
sonal liberties.

Our forefathers possessed
"Faith In their Fellowmen."
when they designed the Consti-
tution. As leaders we too must
have faith in each other. We
must trust one another to do the
things that will promote a good
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. Truly the faith of
our pioneering ancestors was
also a living and vital force of
"Faith in Freedom." Good lead-
ership must be founded upon :i
belief that there Is a freedom u>
maintain. Leaders must comfort
their followers in order to fortify
the cause of freedom.

The one big quality of leader-
ship is that of accepting respon-
sibilities. For there Is no leader-
ship without sincerity, courage,
and enthusiasm.

Savanunh^s Tennis
Courts Are Opened

City-owned tennis courts have
been added to a mounting list
of desegregated facilities here,
it was disclosed Friday. Several
Negroes already have played
without incident on the courts
at city-owned Daffin Park, When
Negroes ask to play on the
courts, they will not be turned
aside, said Herbert Griffin, Sr,,
chairman of the City Recreation
Board. A. C, Smith, attendant at
the courts, said officials notified
him several days ago to start
permitting Negroes to play on
the previously all-white courts.

Savannah also has desegre-
gated lunch counters, city buses,
the public library and the muni-
cipal golf courses.

By SAMUEL M. TRUELL

Democracy: Declining or Ascending?

Is Democracy declining or ascending? This is a question that
is pondering in the minds of practical-thinking people everywhere,
where freedom of speech, religion, thought, association, and any
other type of freedom that is so dear to the inhabitants of the
non-Communist countries.

This reporter often contemplates this serious question. Many
people wonder why an individual dares to ask such a question,
when seemingly democracy is on a rapid upward movement. These
-complacent people are apt to be contented with our so-called
democracy and disillusioned by the many advances made in our
society in recent years. In America, which is the undisputed leader
of the non-Communist world, we have our first Catholic president,
(whether tiiat's good or bad), a Negro cabinet member, and a
Jewish cabinet member. These radical moves are unprecedented
in American history, and one New Frontiersman even went as far
as to predict a Negro to the presidency by the twenty-first century,
I must say that I am not as optimistic. Radical moves like the
former and statements as the latter tend to bring about com-
placency in the best of us. There are too few Americans who
realize that we do not have a democracy, we have a model, and
that model is not good enough. It is especially not good enough
for us to propagandarize our ideologies to the new and under-
developed countries.

In a perfect democracy an individual could and would not be
fired, rehired, and then severely reprimanded for taking an active
part against the evils of his community and nation.

We live in a society where a president reigns, who received
less popular votes than his opponent yet in our so-called
democracy the majority Is supposed to prevail. While Mr. Kennedy
is in office the majority of the people will suffer while he jams
his extremely radical measures down our throats. In a true
democracy a woman black or white, would be able to seek a local
civic position without unfair tactics by her opponents to beat her.

In a true democratic society, a general would not be ostracized
by his country's legislature for informing his subordinates of the
evils of communism.

Again I ask, IS DEMOCRACY DECLINING OR ASCENDING 'i'

OUTLETS SEEN FOR
STYLE SCENE

This year even more than last,
tiie vernal style scene promises
to be a harmonious blend of
tradition and innovation that
should provide more ample out-
lets for both conservative and
liberal tastes-

riiing!- to Come

The shape of things to come
will change a bit. but only the
perceptive eye will notice. Hap-
pily, the natural shoulder
hasn't been touched, but the new
jackets will be longer by a frac-
tion than heretofore, and their
lapels will be slightly wider.
Waist suppression, gentle but
noticeable, will be back, and you
can expect to find more patch
flap pockets on solid-color coats.
Slacks win retain their slim and
clean-lined silhouette, but with
a decline in elasticized waist-
bands. Belt loops will be reap-
pearing and with them, a
sumptuous variety of new belts
in both leathers and fabrics. But
the biggest news is the trium-
phant revival of stripes; candy
-f lipes, boater stripes, awning
.tnpes. ice cream parlor stripes.
On blazers, sweaters, swim
trunks, walking shorts, belts,
dress and sport shirts, they
promise to infuse the style sea-
son with an atmosphere of
carnival gaiety that has not been
enjoyed since the stripe-candy
Nineties.

JAZZ CRITIQUE

By Samuel M. Truell

In contemporary society, col-
lege students are becoming
aware more than ever of synco-
pated jazz music, which Is a
consequence of the ingenuity,
versatility and improvisation of
present day jazzmen.

Admirers of modern jazz, and ''
its fanatics (beatniks) are deeply
indebted to the pioneers of
modern jazz, Charlie Parker,
Dizzy Gillespie and the volatile
Thelonius Monk. These men
mere noncomplacent during the
be-bop era and consequently
they rebelled in wrath against
the jazz music of the early for-
ties. By way of their instruments
this triumvirate created a revo- i
lutlon in music. Many jazz
critics believe that Morxk alone
initiated the revolt because of
his tendency to deviate from the
favorite music of the pre-war
years. Dixieland, and many peo-
ple feel that he is still deviating,
due to his absolute and complex
style. I believe that Monk, with
the exception of Miles Davis, is
the most disliked and least un-
derstood man in jazz today.

I have no special predilection
from Monk^s music, because I
feel that he is more of a com-
poser than a musician, but when
one contemplates the idea, one
can't help but admire the man
for his endeavors. For to be a
deviate or to conform against
the prevailing elements of music
and still be accepted is some-
thing many musicians may never
accomplish.

In 1956 death claimed the
"Bird" Charlie Parker and it was
felt throughout the jazz world
that no one would ever fill the
shoes left vacant by this immor-
tal genius. But a few years later
a young man by the name of
John Coltrane was given the
chance by Miles and Monk re-
spectively to play in their
combos. Subsequently Coltrane
played with so much reverence
and vitality that he is now by
far the most acclaimed jazzman
today, and the recipient of the
accolade once bestowed only to
Parker,

Coltrane may never fill Bird's
shoes to capacity but he will un-
doubtedly wear the larger por-
tion for a long time to come.

Indeed John Coltrane has per-
petuated his way in a field that
is as difficult as Japanese trigo-
nometry, and his is definitely
here to stay.

PRESIDENT WILLIAM K. TAYINE

At the recent December faculty meeting, the faculty of Savannah State
College voted unanimously to extend commendation to President William K.
Payne for his leadership in obtaining accreditation of the college by the
Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Reverend A. E.
Peacock. College Minister, presented the citation which stated:

"The acceptance of Savannah State College into full membership in the

inspired and inspiring leadership, and your educational statesmanship
played in our achieving this coveted honor, we, the faculty, wish to express
our profound appreciation to you and pledge our continued support in the
years ahead. We promise our sincere and concerted efforts in maintaining
and fulfilling ideals and responsibilities inherent in membershi|).

"With you at the helm of this ship of learning, the Dean and other

Savannah State College
1961-62

By James Brown, Jr.

The basketball team has begun it5 rugged 1961-62 basketball
season. The squad is under the management of Coach Ted Wright,
who has had much success in guiding the same starting five for
the past three years. Over the last three-year period, the team
has won 80 games while losing only 12; this includes winning nine
championships. The same five will be the work horses of the sea-
siders this year.

Redell iMoose) Walton, one of the starting five, is the first
basketball player In the history of the school to berth All-American,
Redell is a 21-year-old lad from Chicago. He averaged 25 points
per game last season.

However. Walton is only one of the magnificent five. Ira
Jackson, the big 6' 3" center, was the S.E.A.C. Conference's most
valuable basketball player last year. He has led the team in
rebounding three consecutive years. Captain James Dixon, only
5' 4" is the little general of the squad and he makes up for his
lieight with his fine performances. Willie Tate is the player who
always seems to be the man to shoot the big points when they are
needed- Tate possesses one of the finest jump shots of any college
player. Steve Kelly, the ball handier of the team is undoubtedly
i^me of the finest ball handlers in any college.

A lot will be expected from Johnny Mathis, Leon Wright, Paul
Thompson, Raymond Harper and Harvey Bailey this season.

The Tigers are expected to go all the way this year, so come
out and cheer the team to Victory!

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, ESQUIRE'S Fashion Director

With the holiday season approaching, you'll be dresshig formally
with increasing frequency, Let's review what's new and correct
in campus formal wear so you'll be at ease and in fashion at fra-
ternity and sorority dances and at the many gala parties ahead.

YOUR JACKET'S A NATURAL ... The correct

and smart silhouette for campus formal wear
is the natural .shoidder, single breasted dinner
jacket with black satin shaicl collar. The high
fashion peak lapel model is also being worn by
some tmderpraduates.

FABRICS ARE LIGHT.., Lightweight formal
\vear makes sense in any season. The heavy
weight, old fashioned "tux" made formal eve-
nings a chore rather than a pleasure. A few
hours spent dancing in stuffy, overcrowded,
overheated ballrooms was enough to take the
starch out of the hardiest college man. Modern,
light -weight fabrics have changed all that.
Dinner jackets are comfortable and going for-
mal is fun. This season's favored formal fabrics
will be dull finish tropical worsteds and dacron/
rayon blends,

GO VEST, YOUNG MAN . . . just as vests

h ive made a comeback in suits, and with
sport jackets and shicks, you'll see more
vests with formal attire. An elegant vest
in matching or fancy fabric is just the
added touch to boost your rating along
sorority row. Pictured is the single
bieasted shawl collar vest in black with
satin lapels and three buttons: it's made
of dacron and acetate, v

PLEATED SATIN CUMMERBUND AND

MATCHING TIE are the smart formal
wear accessories that will make you a
standout on the stag line. Your dress
shirt is either pleated bosom or plain
front. Shirt studs are usually black pearl
with cufF links to match.

FORMAL FOOTWEAR . . . whether your
forte is the Pachanga, Charanga, Cha Cha
Cha or trusty Fox Trot, you should keep
in .step with black patent leather in either
plain tip or slip on model. Highly polished
calf skin shoes are a smart alternate.
Plain black or midnight blue are the cor-
rect colors in formal wear hose.

LET'S GET AWAY FROM IT ALL . . . Holiday formal wear at re-
sorts is white and/or bright. The white ivash and wear dinner
jacket in blends of rayon and acetate or dacron and rayon is smart
and practical. Styling is in the shawl collar. You can also make a
colorful vacation splash in plaid cotton or batik dinner jackets.

SSC Places Three
On AU-Conferenee
Football Team

Three of the Tigers "mighty
eleven" were named All-Confer-
ence football players for the
1961 football season. The three
are Henry Saunders, Fred Mey-
ers and Benjamin Spann.

Henry Saunders is a big 6' 2"
end who came to us from Tomp-
kins High School, in Savannah,
Ga. Saunders played a large
part in the Tigers attempt to
receive respectability In its con-
ference. Henry was noted for his
outstanding offensive and de-
fensive abilities,

Fred Meyers, 5' 7", 188 pounds,
is a graduate from Robert Smalls
High School in Beaufort, S. C,
Pred was undobutedly the best
fullback in the conference. He
possesses four traits you find
rare in one man. That is. he is
big, powerful, fast and tricky. He
was one of the Tigers' top
ground gainers,

Benjamin Spann, made the
second team, but is regarded as
one of the roughest lineman in
the conference. Benjamin is a
graduate of the Ballard-Hudson
High School in Macon. Ga.
Spann is probably considered the
most versatile lineman on the
Tiger squad.

The S. S, C. family is proud
for her All-Conference football
players. Congratulations!

Poll Reveals Students Would
Patronize Integrated Theaters

I UPS) The results of a can-
vassing of the student body of
the University of North Carolina
during Brotherhood Week last
month has revealed that over
80% of the students questioned
11879) at the University would
continue to patronize local
theaters if they were open to
persons of all races.

The poll, conducted by a vol-
unteer student group, was in-
tended to find out if claims of
theater owners that their busi-
ness would fail off if they were
to integrate were valid.

Students in each living unit
were given a questionnaire, the
completion of which was op-
tional-

Of the 1879 returned forms, 803
(42.7%) indicated the No. 1
choice requesting the opening of
the theaters to all, 28.18%
checked the No, 2 alternative
indicating that they would con-
tinue patronizing the theaters.
16% checked the No. 3 choice,
indicating opposition to the
policy but stating that they
would continue patronage.

The paper also cites, as indi-
cation that theater seats are
'growing cold under the present
segregated arrangement" the
recent practice of offering free
showings to fraternity and soror-
ity groups during prime evening
hours at the Carolina Theater.

shops designed to help them in
the basic concepts of newspaper
operations such concepts as
newspaper layout, journalistic
writing, the utilization of pho-
tography, and the selection of
pictures.

Some of the members on the
staff have given interesting re-
ports and discussions. They

It Is gratifying to know that
the several Greek-letter organl.-
zatlons on campus are co-oper-'
atlng whole-heartedly with the
members of the Student Council
In promoting the "Dollars for
Scholars" program, a candy-
selling project.

The candy is delicious peanut
brittle and it costs a dollar a
box. Proceeds from this cam-
paign will be used to give addi-
tional aid to the National De-
fense Loan Fund and other wor-
thy causes on campus.

So when you are approached
by a noble Greek, selling candy,
give him a helping hand by
purchasing a box of candy.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

The 1962 Annual Press Institute continues a program which
has been considered an important part of our educational offerings
for many years. The participants and distinguished consultants
always find the experiences new and challenging. Much of our
education today and in the future wiU be influenced by those who
read and write and use the various media of communication.

Savannah State College is glad to welcome all who will partici-
pate In the programs. The values to be derived will be both
immediate and delayed. They will be as diverse and varied as the
personalities who participate, but they can contribute to our growth
and understanding. It is through enlightenment of the many that
we can move towards our cherished goals. The opportunities to
share the experiences of the press Institute are rare and filled with
potentialities for good citizenship, Dr, William K. Payne

$1,000,000 for Duke

DURHAM. N. C, (I.P,t The
Duke Endowment, the nation's
third largest private philanthro-
pic foundation, has announced
that it is taking immediate
steps via a $1 million special
grant to Duke University "to
attack a prime problem of the
nation's higher education."

This problem was described as
"the 'regional differential' which
keeps faculty salaries in the
South substantially below those
of comparable institutions else-
where, and endangers the whole
future of Southern universities
and colleges."

Expressing the hope that Us
action would be "forerunner of
similar action by all organiza-
tions and Individuals interested
in financial support of Southern
universities and colleges," the
endowment annuonced that its
trustees had voted to Duke the
special gift of SI million which
is to be matched by another $1
million to be raised by the uni-
versity itself- The entire S2 mil-
lion is to be devoted exclusively
to raising faculty salaries over
a two-year period.

Wisconsin College
Re-Examines Methods

ASHLAND, Wis, i I.P. ) In-
creased college enrollment is
causing educators to re-examine
their philosophies and their
methods, in search of the un-
used potential that can help
them meet this challenge. Dur-
ing last year's faculty planning
conference. Dean Jesse Caskey
of Northland College suggested
that this potential might be
within the student that the
educator's greatest unexplored
resource might be the student's
ability to learn by himself.

The Northland faculty found
these areas of agreement:

1. The freshman's ability to
pursue his education under a
loose rein varies generally,
from fair to poor.

2. Unless the student has
learned to pursue his education
independently by the time of
his graduation, college has been
for him a miserable failure.

3. The student will develop
fully his inherent capacity for
self-education only if it is ex-
pected of him.

RAYS FROM "GEM"

By Mamie "Gem" Greene
Did last year end with your having accomplished all you had
planned? Did your grades for last quarter fully reflect your
abilities? Did you do the best you could to make State a bigger and
better institution?

If your answers are negative, why not resolve immediately to
change them to the affirmative? And even if your answers are in
the affirmative, you. too. can resolve to strive toward greater
heights.

The college center is attractive and appealing. Let us use all
the facilities it has to offer, but let us not forget the purpose of,
and the comfort found in. our library-
It is true that there are many past achievements of which we
should be quite proud, but let us not consume so much time remin-
iscing. There is yet too much to be done. So much of it will never
be done if we do not do it ourselves.

May one of our greatest ambitions be that of doing something
commendable something that will be remembered long after we
have completed our stay at this institution. Let it be something
of which we can boast with a gleam in our eyes and joy in our
hearts.

Let us strive to make our college one of the greatest in exist-
ence. May we always be mindful that a college is no better than
its students and personnel- Let us endeavor to change our C's to
B's and A's, We must find time to better all of our college organi-
zations and activities, for they, too, make the College.

With each hand in the hand of a brother's, we can form a
family circle so strong that the mightiest army would have to admit
defeat if ever the attempt to destroy our mighty fortress is tried.
Remember, without your help and determination, Savannah State
is "nowhere-"

A Stiideut^s Vieiv of Life

By Freida M. Brewton

Life is a ball game. Each day is an inning. Each day we stand
at bat with the world at large pitching to us. Sometimes we will
score a home run; at other times we might not get farther than
first base, maybe second; yet, there may be days full of errors no
score at ail- This ball game continues until one day the Umpire,
our heavenly Father, calls out, "It is finished, the game is over!"

The spectators here on earth watch. They keep our scores.
Some of the spectators are friendly, others are hostile; such is the
case in any game We are not to be disturbed by the scores the
spectators are keeping, because we must realize that the official
score is recorded by our heavenly Umpire. Only He can truthfully
say how many errors we have made, innings we have had. or how
many home runs we have hit.

In this ball game of life, victory is our ultimate goal- Each
time we stand at bat we must be careful to play the game fairly
because the Umpire is watching at all times, and when we play the
game unfairly. He calls a strike against us. If we work diligently
at winning this ball game of life and are mindful not to cheat in
any way, we can rest assured that some day, in the final analysis,
victory will be our reward.

A Maivs Lot Is a Tough One

(ACPi Who gets the short end of the stick when it comes to
dates?

The man, of course, says Del Faddis, writing In the Daily
Universe, Brigham Young University.

Just consider this ritual he describes:

"Man usually makes a few preparations before going out on
a date.

"One of these is a process in which he cuts away the hair
growing out of his face. He then applies a solution to his face.
This solutions keeps his face from getting sore if he hasn't already
cut it. The main purpose for using this solution, however, is the
pleasing odor it has.

"After all preparations have been made and he is dressed in
what is considered the latest style, he drives all the way across
town to pick up his date, when it would be much easier to meet
her at some convenient midpoint.

"He has to find a parking place to go to the door to get her.
(This way if it's raining both get wet.)

"He waits while she finishes dressing, he helps her on with
her coat, he helps her with the door, he helps her across the street,
and he helps her into the car. All this he does as though she weren't

able to do it for herself-

"They then drive back downtown (what a waste of gas and tire
tread). They stop at the theater where the fellow stops the car,
gets out, runs around to the girl's side to open the door, helps the
girl out of the car, finds a spot for her to wait while he runs back
to the car. drives it to a parking place and then runs back to the
theater.

"He then stands in line to buy the tickets when she could have
been doing that while she was waiting. He pays for both of them.

"Once in the theater lobby he buys her some refreshments.
leads her to a seat and helps her off with her coat.

"After the movies he walks back to get the car. and then drives
back to his date where he gets out and helps her get in the car.
It is customary that he ask her if she would care for something to
eat and if she says yes. the same courtesies at the restaurant as
the theater.

"After they have eaten and he has paid the check, he usually
drives her straight home. When they get to the door of her home,
he takes her key and struggles to open the door for her.

"He then turns to her and asks if he may have the privilege
of doing it again sometimes.
"Ah yes, it's a man's world."

Omega Psi Phi

25 Strong

Nov

By Ralph Lowe

As a result of Novemtier's line
of probates, eleven Brothers have
entered into the realm of Ome-
gadom by way of Alpha Gamma
chapter of Omega Psi Phi Frat-
ernity. The initiation of these
brothers has made the chapter
twenty-five strong.

These neophyte brothers are
Willie Adkins of Ludowici, Har-
vey Bryant of Woodbine, James
Coar of Columbus, Alex Haber-
sham of Macon, Christopher
James of Woodbine. Dolphus
Lewis of Columbus, Horace Mag-
wood o( Savannah, Leander
Merritt of Ocilla, Jerry Mims of
Hinesviile, John C. Reed of Syl-
vania, and Louis Frank Tomp-
kins of Columbus. These broth-
ers have mixed with the senior
brothers and with the zea! in-
herent in Omega men, they have
done much to improve the chap-
ter.

We would also like to note that
Brothers Ernest Brunson and
Norman Elmore were recently
named to "Who's Who Among
Students in American Colleges
and Universities," and that
Brothers Norman Elmore, Lean-
der Merritt, and Lester Wilson
were honored at the college's
annual Honors Convocation on
November 16. 1961, for having
maintained averages of "B" or
better for three or more quar-
ters last year.

Brother Tillman C, Cothran,
Chairman of the Department of
Sociology, Atlanta University.
Atlanta, Georgia, was the guest
speaker on our National Achieve-
ment Week program held last
quarter.

Robert Smith of Griffin, Geor-
gia, did not return to school this
quarter. Brother Smith's contri-
bution to the chapter will be
missed by all of the brothers. It
is our sincere hope that he will
return in the near future, if not
in our presence, then in the
presence of those brothers left
behind to keep the fiame of
Omega burning here at Savan-
nah State College.

The brothers of Alpha Gamma
are looking forward to the
events to be sponsored by the
chapter with much enthusiasm.
In the very near future we hope
to sponsor the following activi-
ties; an All-College Assembly,
our annual Talent Hunt Pro-
gram which is to be presented
jointly with Mu Phi chapter in
the city and last but not least,
our annual Mardi Gras. We are
doing our utmost in the line of
preparation in order that these
events will be vast improvements
over those presented in the past.

Alpha Gamma chapter is
proud to announce that we have
been represented well by Helen
Woods, a soror of Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority, who is "Miss
SIX TIGER ROAR
Omega," and by her very lovely
attendants, Dorothye Carter and
Carolyn Vinson, also Delta so-
ror s.

The brothers of Alpha Gamma
chapter also extend a hearty
welcome to all beginning fresh-
men and transfer students who
decided to matriculate at Savan-
nah State College this quarter.

Five young men of the Lam-
pados Club are now looking for-
ward with great anticipation of
someday crossing the burning
sands into Omegadom. They are
Lamps Willie Andrews, Van Fra-
ley, Benjamin Smith. Carnell
West, and Eddie George Wright.

Descension

By Verdelle Lambert
We leave to posterity what our

first parents left to us:
A too short candle and a too

narrow bed.
But life will not be void of a

great and prolific culture.
"That makes a difference," one

says.

"Only but look to our progress,"

another S-C-R-E-A-M-S.
"Never before has man appeared

so great, so Magnificent!"
But "they" are the painters of

the night
Who touch up the sordid and'

sundry places.

In the morning. In the bright

light of day,
We see Man in a different

perspective
He lies beside the Pierian spring

like some fallen god
Stripped of the glory that once

was. He is "ivre-mort."

That bitter-sweet drink has
made Man little and asinine.

Persistent creator of a mighty
boomerang;

So that we cannot really be-
queath anything to posterity

Only "To whom It may concern."

Adams Hall

By Lois Carson. '65
Adams Hall, the place where we

eat.
It's not the finest, but
It Is clean and neat.
Breakfast Is served from 7:30 to

8:00;
If you are one minute after

you'll be late.
Dinner is served from 12 to 1:00
If it's 12:55 you'd better run
From 5 : 00 to 5:30 supper Is
served
This Is the meal we all deserve,

I committed no crime
Telling you the time.
Let me tell 'bout our cooks
And their handsome looks.

Dressed In white,
Nice and clean
Look healthy, clever,
Bright and keen.

That's not all;
We eat good food
That puts us in
A "Way Out" mood.

Sftvaiinah Staters Wonder Boy

By Therman Thomas

For the past four basketball seasons, Redell iMoose) Walton
has led his team in scoring and has ranked second In rebounding.
During the 1960-61 season the mild-mannered and somewhat shy
Walton averaged 25 points per game.

In 1960 he established a one-game record by shooting a total
of 39 points against the Benedict College team. The four-year
letterman is deadly from all points on the court, "Moose" plays
both front court and back court exceptionally well. For the past
three years, he has been selected ^or the Southeastern Athletic
Conference's All-Conference team.

Through outstanding feats in tournament play, he was also
selected the most valuable player In the 1960-61 NAIA District 6
Tourney. Last year "Moose" captured the Most Valuable Player
title in the Pelican State Tourney over NAIA All-American elect,
Charles Harnett of Grambling College.

When asked why lie came to Savannah State College, he stated
that it was mostly through the efforts of a former student at the
College whose name is Bobby Brown (now teaching in Chicago).
Redell has no definite future plans as yet; however, he will probably
settle for professional basketball or coaching.

In his spare time, Walton does a lot of reading, writing and
listening to jazz albums. Most of his time is spent with co-ed
Gwendolyn Smith, an ardent basketball fan.

A Private Asks a Favor

(ACP) Wanted: One coed,
for rescue duty.

A pleading letter was carried
by the Daily Trojan of Southern
California asking coeds to throw
a few written lifelines to one de-
pressed serviceman.

"I am trapped at Fort Dlx due
to circumstances beyond my
control," the lonely' private
wrote.

"I should like to correspond
with a sensitive, sincere girl
with a wonderful sense of humor
who can help me. I know the
Army can't."

The crowd cheers as Alfredo Morange makes two for SSC.

Wanted:
Leadership

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

In considering preparation for
leadership, we are to be mindful
of the qualities sought In a lead-
er. The qualities which are es-
sential for effective leadership
are: The ability to think clearly
and logically, the ability to ac-
cept criticism, the feeling of
security, and a sense of respon-
sibility. A good leader must also
have foresight, thoughtfulness,
respectfulness, and above all,
freedom from bigotry. Leader-
ship also necessitates education.
We must note that an educated
person is one who Is capable of
doing the right thing at the
right time. The qualities just
mentioned are not usually In-
herited, but are developed over
a period of time by special ef-
forts.

As the leaders of tomorrow,
we should be mindful of our re-
sponsibilities. The weight of the
world is thrust upon our shoul-
ders because we are college men
and women and the masses look
to us to assume the mantle of
leadership.

We should face life's problems
just as George Washington Car-
ver, Booker T, Washington, Ab-
raham Lincoln, Thomas Paine,
Ralph Bunche and the other
great leaders have done. These
men had the courage and the
will power to take the helm in
the midst of perilous situations
and lead their people to a new
destlny.

Now it is our task and duty to
launch out and do likewise. Are
we willing to do our part? Are
we willing to meet the world's
demand for leadership and steer
our people in the right course of
action in order to preserve de-
mocraoj?

THE TWIST

By Charles A. Phillips

Say ! It's wild, it's big. It's
swinging, and It's what's hap-
pening! It's "The Twist," the
new dance craze, and all the
credit is being given to the one
and only Chubby Checker,

This new dance craze has
taken a stand not only with the
teenagers in high schools and
colleges, but also with the aris-
tocrats in the swank night
clubs, especially the Peppermint
Lounge in New York where the
"Peppermint Twist" originated.

It has been estimated that
Chubby Checker will make well
over one million dollars from the
sale of articles with his name
and picture on them. Shirts,
shoes, trousers, and suits called
the "Twisters" are already on
the market.

Oh. yeah! "The Twist" is what
it is, and you can twist better II
you sand-paper the soles of your
shoes. That's right, try it!

Pictured above with Ira Jackson, popular basketball player and
ideal gentleman, are Sherbie Best, Laordice Winfrey, Dawn Hol-
linshead. and Lois Carson. These young ladies are known as the
"Magnificent Four" and are members of the Ira Jackson Fan Club.

Patridge Wolfe, Grand Basileus of the Sorority, was the featured
speaker at a public program. Mrs, Ella W, Fisher, member of the

WOMEN'S FASHIONS

By Dorothye Carter

Beautiful You and Black

Black has just been hailed as the color of the year on the
Savannah State College campus and is being worn by everyone.
Black is a very conservative color and can be worn by everyone for
any occasion class, church, banquets, formals, and for sportswear.

For you figure-conscious girls who can't wear certain colors,
and who feel ill-at-ease in certain colors, forget your problems
because I have the color of the year for you Black.

For class, a black box pleated skirt and black slipover sweater
accented by a white collar, or a one-string pearl necklace is very
charming on any young lady, regardless of size.

For church, let's try a black two-piece dress or suit with burnt
orange or beige accessories. And the black sheath dress with
spaghetti strings across the shoulder is just the attire for the
"Sweetheart's Bail" or for that all important banquet.

No one, but no one, would be without some type of black coat
in her wardrobe, such as a black leather jacket, the all popular
double-breasted long coat with large collar and pockets. Don't
forget the black suede leather long coat and jacket, For evening
wear let's consider a black velveteen lined in white fur.

Young ladies, please don't forget those black leather gloves.

Let's wear more black and less flash, and you will be very
beautiful In black.

Importance of the
College Newspaper

The college newspaper plays
a nimportant role in college life.
You may not know it. but col-
leges are represented to the out-
side world by student publica-
tions. The College newspaper
docs not only represent the col-
lege in the outside world, but it
also serves ;ks 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 cominunica-
tio non campus. It is a publica-
tion by wlilch the students may
speak or voice their conceptions
through editorials, feature
stores, poems, etc. This also
raises the question of freedom
of the student publication versus
control. The college newspaper
represents the students and
gives thcni 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__collcge news-
paper holds the major spotlight
of student expression in college
life.

Chapter at the 24th National
Convention of Alpha Kappa Mu
Honor Society which was held on
the beautiful campus of Florida
A&M University. March 22-24,
1962.

When the honor roll was

announced. Alpha Nu Chapter
was listed with "Highest Dis-
tinction Status." Highest dis-
tinction status goes to those
..hapters which have promptly
I'omplied with the requirements
set up by the national office-
Alpha Nu Chapter has received
this distinction for the past five
years.

In addition, Dr. E. K. Williams
was cited for having all chap-
ters in Region V listed on the
1962 Honor Roll, also with high-
est distinction status. This is
the first time that this feat has
been accomplished by a regional
director.

As regional director. Dr. Wil-
hams serves as co-ordinator for
the ten colleges that comprise
region V,

The Executive Council, to
which Elmore was elected, is
responsible for carrying forward
the activities of the society in
the interim between conven-
tions. The council outlines the
program for the coming year's
meeting, makes recommenda-
'ions for convention speakers
:ind subsequently selects them.

The theme for the 1962 con-
'"ention was "Scholars as Future
Leaders." It was expounded
ipon by the four speakers who
-iddressed the delegates and
later was used as the topic for
\ student symposium. The topic
was carefully analyzed by the
nanel and many provocative
luestions were posed. Among the
;iiore interesting questions dis-
ussed was, "Can a person be a
cholar and a leader?"

There were delegates from
39 colleges and universities
throughout the United States.
All of the student delegates en-
joyed a rich program of activi-
fies that included inspiring ad-
dresses, a reception given by
FAMU's President. Dr. G. W.
Gore, a thrilling performance
by the famed FAMU Choral So-
'-iety and Symphonic Band, a
"Bait-a-Date" Social and a
sumptuous banquet The ban-
quet was followed by a "Night
Club Affair" sponsored by the
Pan-Hellenic Council

SSC Collects Books
For Nigeria

Savannah State College is now
in the process of collecting books
for a secondary school library in
Laos, Nigeria.

This project, which is spear-
headed by the student council,
began after a letter was received
from Mrs. Maye Grant, an Amer-
ican Negro teaching in Nigeria.
Mrs. Grant wrote that there
were thousands of Nigerian
youth who were hungry for edu-
cation, but that there was a
great shortage of books in the
school's library-
Pledgees of the four fraterni-
ties on campus have undertaken
this book - collecting project.
They are now in the process of
knocking on doors in the com-
munity, their way of trying to
further the cause of education
in the underdeveloped countries
of the world.

Don't Read This!

That's right. Don't read this because more than likely it is
about you. and It is Incriminating,

More than a third of the dormitory students, after leaving
chapel, trample the lawn in a mad dash for the dining hall instead
of using the walkways provided. Now this is a serious indictment
upon ourselves as college men and women and it demands our
attention. This is not the time nor the place for retrogression! Let's
stop this foolishness!

Library Pnrrliases
Copying Machine

E J. Josey, college librarian
and associate professor an-
nounced recently that the li-
brary had purchased a photo-
copying machine. The machme
is primarily used to make copies
of magazine articles and ex-
cerpts from books. Students may
use the machine for a nominal
fee.

Since the machine has been
obtained for the use of the stu-
dents, Mr. Josey feels that the
student body should make use of
this worth-while addition to the
college library's facilities.

This machine is another step
in the library's program of pro-
viding the latest library equip-
ment available. It is hoped that
this machine will be instrumen-
tal in stopping students from
destroying valuable library ma-
terials.

CAMPUS
FASHIONS

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, esquire's Fashion Director

With Easter vacation already flashing the "Walk" sign, why not
decide before you go home on your number one suit and the rest of
your wardrobe. Aside from the traditional dress-up holiday, there
may be decisive interviews for either a summer job or a permanent
one if you're a graduating senior and the clothes you wear plus
the way that you wear them make the pivotal first impression.
You want it to be right at first sight, so, let's take a run-down on
what you might well select this Spring in fashion.

YOUR NUMBER ONE SUIT for warmer

weather is next to weightless in the new lighter-
than-ever flannels and polyester/wool blends.
Color-wise, consider the more definite blues, the
neiv lighter greys ; see the classic Glen Urquhart
or 'glen' plaids.

THE GIFT OF 'GAB' you get with the return of
natural tan gabariliuc. Its fine diagonal twill
weave and surface sheen make it an excellent
choice for your Number One Suit. Today's gab-
ardines also come in lighter weight wools and
new polyester/wool blends.

STILL THE FAVORED SILHOUETTE u. the Natural shoulder three-

biittuii, .^trait'ht-hjiiigint' jacket with center vent and flap pockets.
The First Executive Look, epitomized by President Kennedy, may
be Two-Eutton ...but the Campus Look, coast to coast, remains
devotedly Three-Button with slim, pleatless trousers ivitli cuffs.

PRIDE OF THE OUTFIT: REGIMENTAL

STRIPES ... the resurgence noted by ESQUIRE
ast fall is gaining momentum for Regimental
Stripes the traditional colors of the historic
British regiments. With scores of these famed
regiments like the Grenadier Guards, the
Royal Fusiliers, the Inskilling Dragoons
there's quite a roll-call of striking color com-
binations in pure silk repps for your selection.

DRESS SHIRTS SHOES BELT . . . white Button Down Oxfords

are ^till very much de rigeur. and there are handsome variations in
narrow tape stripes of blue, grey, olive. Also, although you 'can't
go wrong' with a white broadcloth tab collar dress shirt, why not
dress up with the newest pale tones of blue, olive or cream. With
suits in Blue or Grey, wear BLACK SHOES or the VERY DARK-
EST BROWNS . . . and RIB SOCKS are always smart and correct.
Your DRESS BELT is LEATHER with an important harness-type
buckle in polished metal.

AT THE SUMMIT-YOUR HAT . here the

decisions are made, it'.s the narrow snap-brim
felt in brown or olive weit edge. r;iw edge or
grosgrain-bound.

BIG SWEATER ON CAMPUS THE CARDIGAN the button-

front coat-sweater is tops in campus popularity, Tops in favor are
the lofty Shetland and the open-knit Alpaca wool or wool blends in
solid colors or stripes.

BEACH

BOUND? Should your vacation find you beached around
Ft. Lauderdale or Bermuda, say, then sports-
wear moves into number one spot. Here you'll
see a lot of TIGER the bold, tawny color that's
getting the roar of approval from campus men
everywhere. They pick it up in sportshirts like
this, sweaters, ties, socks. Find it in sharp, solid
tones or mixed for example, a houndstooth
sportcoat checked in Black and Tirer . . . and let
them see you "burning briglit" in fashion.

Cartoon Quips

Nothing irks the hard-pressed college student more than shaking
out an envelope from home and finding nothing in it but news
and love.

The professor who comes in 15 minutes late is rare in fact, he's
in a class by himself.

The college basketball coaches are all interested in higher edu-
cation, and the closer they come to seven feet the better they like it.
Nowadays many college men live by the sweat of their frau.

Man at desk to himself: "1 wish I had a dental appointment to
cancel that always brightens my day."

Wife to husband struggling out of bed after an evening on the
town: "How would you like your aspirin this morning on the

rocks?"

SSC Student
Covers Campus
For Savannah
Morning News

A 1960 graduate of Tompkins
High School, now enrolled at
Savannah State College, has
been assigned by the Savannah
Morning News to cover campus
events.

Elmer Thomas writes "College
By the Sea" which appears in
the Sunday edition of the paper.
Prior to March 4 of this year, the
column was handled by the Of-
fice of Public Relations.

Before coming to Savannah
State, he attended Ohio State
University on an honor scholar-
ship. He recently qualified for
a position of Student-Trainee in
a U- S. Civil Service Examina-
tion, which gives college students
summer work in governmental
agencies in the same field in
which they are majoring in col-
lege. Thomas is a sophomore
math major, and he qualified for
a job in statistics. He hopes to
begin work in June.

Any items of community inter-
est coming from anyone on the
college scene should be for-
warded to Mr. Thomas,

Campus Spotlight

By Verdelie Lambert

She was sitting up in bed,
"You can't ask me something
like that for the paper!"

Weil I did ask and I got an
answer, too. The question was,
"If you could be any animal in
the world, which would you
choose?"

After a few polite grumbles,
she replied. "A nightingale. You
see, the nightingale is so mys-
terious. It symbolizes hope and
love . . . and it soars closer to
heaven."

Emma Sue McCrory, charming
senior English major, is a mem-
ber of Delta Sigma Theta So-
rorita, the Boar's Head Club and
the College Playhouse, She en-
joys reading, listening to instru-
mental recordings and traveling.

When asked if she had a phi-
losophy of life, Emma answered,
"Yes, but I don't think it works
so well all the time,'* She added,
however, that in spite of this,
she still believes in it. The phi-
losophy: "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you,"

"Certainly, I would add an-
other girl's dormitory and pro-
vide more recreational facilities
for the dormitory students."
This is how Emma would change
the campus if she could. As far
as changing the world is con-
cerned. Emma simply suggests
"better human relationships,"
As far as her own life is con-
cerned, she expressed the desire
to become a speech therapist,
"I would like especially to work
with children," commented
Emma.

"What do you think every col-
lege queen should possess?"

"Ah. ah, ah, ah, Money! Se-
riously though, she does need
money. But being able to get
along with others counts a lot,
too. I guess what I'm trying to
say is that she should have a
pleasing personality. "

sonality of the month.

Greeks Present
Rush Parties

If you are not Greek, then
there is a fifty-to-fifty chance
that your feet are sore, and your
tongue hangs out yet. Diagnosis:
"Man, you've been rushed!"

During the week of March 26-
30 the Greek Letter Organiza-
tions at Savannah State College
have been eagerly "selling their
wares." Actually, rushing is a
type of politiking which has be-
come standard practice on most
campi, and in certain cases,
the organizations vie with each
other for particular students.

More important, however,
pledgees help to keep the or-
ganizations "alive," They fill
the vacancies made by with-
drawals and transfers, inactivity
and graduation.

This year the rush parties or
programs, as the case may be.
were most impressive.

Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha

Kappa Alpha Iield a joint rush
party and served cake squares
which displayed the insignia and
colors of the sorority and fra-
ternity,

Amega Psi Phi presented "A
Night in Birdland." It was a

simply dreamy evening, en-
chanted by candle light.

Delta Sigma Theta geared its
program to travel "Around the
World, With a cry of "ship
Ahoy," the sail was set for Lon-
don, Paris, and points East.

The college, without a doubt.
always profits from high-quality
programs such as these. We look
forward to more of the same
next year.

Skip Class
And Pass

Toledo, O, (LP.) A new rule
in effect for the current aca-
demic year at the University of
Toledo has repealed the instruc-
tor's right to drop students for
excessive absences. Part of a
recommendation of the Confer-
ence Committee, the responsi-
bility for dropping a course has
shifted from the instructor to
the student.

Under the new system, a stu-
dent wishing to drop a course
must initiate the drop himself
by first contacting his dean and
then filling out a form in the
registrar's office. The reasons
for the new rule as stated by
the Conference Committee are
as follows:

Dropping students for non-
attendance IS inconsistant with
the adoption in 1959 of the vol-
untary roll taking.

Since the student has paid his
tuition he should be permitted
to exercise his right to attend or
not attend classes.

If the student feels that he
can pass a course without at-
tending classes, he should be
permitted to do so.

Grades in a particular course
should not be based upon the
physical presence of a student.

This new rule is intended to
cover only excessive absences
from class, A student may still
be dropped from a course by the
instructor as a disciplinary ac-
tion, according to Richard R.
Perry, director of admissions and
records.

I committed no crime
Telling you the time.
Let me tell 'bout our cooks
And their handsome looks.

Chemistry Dept.
In Research on
Cotton Seed

By Frcida M, Brewton

The Department of Chemistry,
headed by Dr. Charles Pratt, is
presently engaged In research on
the cotton seed. The researchers
are studying the pigment com-
ponents which give cotton seed
oil Its color. Gossypol, one pig-
ment found in cotton seed, Is
responsible, at least in part, for
the color of the oil.

The first Chemistry Seminar,
which Is an outgrowth of this
project, was held Thursday
night, March 29, In the Tech-
nical Science Building. Idella
Glover spoke on the topic.
"Quantitated Method for the
Gossypol Analysis of Cotton
Seed." The purposes of these
seminars are to acquaint other
majors in the Department with
what each student <who is em-
ployed as a researcher) Is trying
to do, and to increase their
knowledge of chemistry by
means other than classroom in-
struction.

The department Is also pro-
posing additional requirements
for graduation, some of which
are: Hi that each senior pass an
oral comprehensive on each
phase of chemistry that he has
taken, and (2) that each senior
must do a research investigation
which will add to the present
stockpile of knowledge and be
of a quality publishable in a
scientific journal. A chemistry
major may begin his research as
early as he chooses.

Some individual senior pro-
jects underway now involve a
study of sugars extracted from
natural sources such as pine

needles and Spanish moss.

Several useful Instruments
have been added to the depart-
ment which have been helpful
in the study of the cotton
seed. These instruments are: the
Spectrophotometer, Polarimeter.
Zeromatic PH meter, melting
point block, and flash evapora-
tor.

Importance of the

College Newspaper

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

The college newspaper is an

ln.strument of mass communica-
tion on campus. It is a publica-
tion by which the students may
speak or voice their conceptions
through editorials, feature
stories, poems, etc. This also
raises the question of freedom
of the student publication versus
control. The college newspaper
represents the students and
gives them a chance to debate
and test experimental thoughts,
emotions, and beliefs. A free
college newspaper gives self-
expressions 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.

Always Finish

Debating Ttam
Announces

Next Topic

By Berneice Pinkney

Resolved: that the county unit
system should be abolished.

This declaration, stated in
both the affirmative and the
negative, has become a virtual
political basketball since the
United States Supreme Court
handed down its recent decision-
Repercussions are being felt over
a wide area and particularly in
the South.

Because of its significance to
us as voters affected by the
county unit system, and its con-
troversial nature, the Savannah
State College Debating Team
has chosen this as the topic for
its next debate.

At present, it seems as if that
fearful twosome. Bobby Hill and
James Brown, will debe.te the af-
firmative. The negative, as of
yet. has not announced who will
oppose them. Being fought on
home grounds and before fellow
students, both sides are deter-
mind to make it a fight to the
bitter end. To say that it prom-
ises to be exciting is an under-
statement.

The time and place of the de-
bate will be announced later.

CAMPUS and NATIONAL SPORTS

Basketliall Team

The passing of the 1961-62
basketball season will mark the
end of college basketball careers
for eight seniors who have won
the hearts and respect of all
basketball fans in and out of our
college communliy.

The Tigers, a well rounded
group of athletes and gentlemen
have built up a record on the
hardwood that will stand for
some years i;o come. Over the
past four seasons, the Tigers
have had a total of 106 games
while suffering only 18 setbacks.
They won their conference visi-
tations and tournament crowns
four consecutive times, ruling
the District 6A NAIA playoff

Dodsers Favored

since its beginnmg. We need not
stop here in remembering the
outstanding feacs of the team;
they won the Pelican State
Tournament last year in New
Orleans, and they have advanced
to the NAIA national tourna-
ment for three consecutive
years.

Walton Drafted
By Pipers

By Charlene Bright

Redell Walton was drafted by
the Cleveland Pipers of the
American Basketball League in
their annual winter draft of top
collegiate basketball talent. This
is a great honor and a great op-
portunity for Walton. In the
near future Walton will meet
with Piper coach. Bill Sharman.
to discuss matters concerning
his being drafted by the Pipers.
Coach Sharman sent a con-
gratulatory letter to Walton here
at the college on April 2,

The Tiger's Roar and the en-
tire student body wish for Re-
dell much success in his future
professional basketball career.

Congratulations and good luck.
Moose!

The Los Angeles Dodgers are
favored to win the National
League pennant in this forth-
coming season. Manager Walt
Alston should finally come up
with the right combination to
get the best results out of the
much talented Dodger organiza-
tion. It seemed that the juggling
of the line-up the past season
did not give the players time to
get adjusted to their new posi-
tions-

The Dodgers, like the Yanks,
have power and speed along
with a stroHg- pitching staff. If
Manager Walt Alston sticks with
the starling line-up. the Dodgers
should win the pennant,

The San Francisco Giants
should give the Dodgers a good
fight for the pennant with Cin-
cinatti and Milwaukee fighting
it out for third and fourth place.
The St. Louis Cardinals and Chi-
cago Cubs should place fifth and
sixth respectively while the rest
of the league fights It out for
the second division.

Redell Walton
AlhTourney Pick
In Kansas City

By Therman Thomas
Redell Walton, all - American
basketball player at Savannah
State College, was selected to the
all-tournament team in Kansas
City, Missouri in the recent NAIA
tournament. This mark-d the
first time a player from SSC has
received such an honor, Walton
scored 29 points in leading the
Tigers to an opening. jound vic-
tory over Pacific 'TjUtheran,
Later, he scored 37 poin't?Jn a
losing cause against Arizona
State College.

In five appearances in Kan-
sas City, Walton scored 158
points for a 31-point game aver-
age. He received a gold watch
as a naward for being selected
to the all -tournament 2nd team.

Floyd Patterson, *he heavy-
weight champion of tne world,
has signed to meet Sonny Liston.
the number one challenger for
the crown. This fight is expected
to be one of the all-time great
fistic contests ever presented,
Beth fighters have similar back-
grounds. Liston was the less for-
tunate, running into difficulty
with the law time and time
again. He just recently con-
vinced the Pennsylvania Boxing
Commission that he was worthy
to fight for the crown.

These fighters have altogether
different personalities in the
ling. Patterson is the "gentle-
man' vpe (if you can call a man
defe: 'ng his crown a gentle-
man while in the ring). On the
other hand, Liston is the "tiger"
type while in the ring.

Liston is tlie heavier of the
two fighters and can throw the
knock-out punch easily with
either hand. Patterson's punches
are fast and dangerous too. com-
mg from either direction,

This is a bout that Liston has
been trying to get for a long
time. He is eager to show-off his
boxing skill. The fight should
prove to be very interesting. Pat-
terson is the champ and the
favorite but one slip-up can
cost him his title to the hard-
hitting Liston.

recently. Pacific Lutheran of
Washington, two West Coast
power houses.

The Tigers' success story is
written around five players:
Willie Tate, Ira Jackson, Redell
Walton, Stephen Kelly and little
James Dixon.

The hub of the Tigers" attack
for the past four years has been
Redell Walton, a muscular 6 ft.
1 in. forward who has averaged
around the 28 point mark during
his entire four years as a regu-
lar player. He has won a berth
on almost every tournament
team in which the Tigers have
participated.

Teaming up with Walton to
give the Tigers a deadly one-two
puncr was center. Ira Jackson,
a shy fellow who usually com-
mards the backboard for the
Tigers. He has averaged 20
points or more as a regular
player, Willie Tate, James Dixon,
and Stephen Kelly have also
contributed immensely to the
Tigers' success story.

Raymond Harper and Paul
Thompson were two outstanding
hustlers all season long. They
formed the nucleus of the Ti-
gers' bench strength Roland
Nash, a player who did not get
in the picture as often as the
others, can also stand up and be
counted.

Now with the fabulous five
gone, one might ask. "What is
Ted going to do now?" Well, the
old molder has already seen the
handwriting on the wall. He has
carefully weaved into his future
plans. Johnny Mathls. Alfredo
Morange, Anthony Sheffield,
Billy Day and Harvey Bailey plus
a few freshmen who are slated
to come in next year by way of
Chicago, South Carolina. Indi-
ana and maybe Savannah. The
above mentioned players are all
over the 6 ft. mark,

Mathis and Bailey will prob-
ably be the two key men in the
Tigers' attack next year. With
the additional players slated to
come, the Tigers should be as
strong as before.

so far as stiidejita are concerned,

ing the thirty years he has been
employed at the cuUege. this
elderly gentleman who teaches
cnuises in social studies has
probably been In contact with
mure students than anyoiiu un

Griffin came to Georgia State
he luund students far less able

ism with the post War trend
aciusi the nation, the student
population has more than dou-
bled.

Buitaings and facilities have
also been improved and ex-
panded to belter suit the needs
of the institution. A room In
Meldrim Hall that now serves as
an office was formally a library
housing wliat few books and pe-
riodicals they had Tlie hbiaiy

then primarily an agiiculturat
wjllege now offeri degrees In
many areas of specialization.
Several other buildings have
been added In addition to this,

vast new improvements in the
curriculum have been made.

The improvements have not
stopped there. The administra-
tion realizes that in order to
provide better educational op-
Ijortunitles for its students, a
more qualified faculty must be
secured and maintained. Con-
seciuently, almost all heads of
departments hold the doctorate
degree, and many on the staff
liave done graduate work beyond
the Master's degree at major
institutions of higher learning.

In order to keep pace witli fu-
ture needs, to continue at the
present rate would not be
enough, These efforts must be
hilenslfied and accelerated.

Perhaps I can borrow the ad-
vertising slogan of a great cor-
poration, tliough slightly varied,

World News and Politics
"Whats Next JFK?"

By Samuel Truell

Since taking the oath of of-
fice last January the volatile
potentate of these United States
has proven himself to be a man
of vigor, vitality, tenderness,
temperance and most recently
extremely powerful,

Mr Kennedy's power was ex-
emplied a few weeks earlier when
he hastily stepped in and forced
the strong steel bosses to yield to
his demands after they joined
forces and thus raised the price
of steel.

Before one could say "Jack
Robinson" Kennedy ordered his
protege in the person of Bobby
Kennedy to file a court injunc-
tion ordering the steel magnates
to end their capricious actions.

This use of force almost for-
gotten since the days of Roose-
velt's "big stick" policy was
hailed by some as dictatorship,
but to others it was a much
needed panacea for arbitrous
price-fixing.

In defense of his actions, the
President so emphatically told
the United States Chamber of
Commerce. "I believe that when-
ever large industries arbitrarily
raise prices and these prices
tend to endanger the nation's
welfare the President of the
United States should Invoke pre-
ventative measures, and if the
American people are against this.
then they should seek the serv-
ices of a new President.

Now that the chief executive
has voiced such a blunt opinion
many people are wondering why
doesn't the President use this
force on the Congress of the
United States to stamp out the

evils prevalent in our society.
It's widely known that Kennedy
is planning to push hard for his
controversial medical aid to the
aged, foreign aid, and educa-
tional bills, and if necessary he
will journey to Capitol Hill to
meet this end.

It is equally known that the
promises he made to Negroes
with regards to their civil rights
failed to materialize. Why^ Be-
cause when it comes to the civil
rights question. Mr, Kennedy
leaves the "Big Stick ' on Penn-
sylvania Avenue.

This reporter is cognizant of
the precedents set by this neo-
phyte in naming Negroes to
heretofore untold positions, but
I must say that these posts are
infinitesimal when one views the
promises made by this novice
President during his vigorous
campaign.

My question is, will the Presi-
dent carry the new civil rights
bill and his "Big Stick" to Capi-
tol Hill when Congress convenes
its next session, or will he pro-
crastinate until 1963 when a new
term in office is in proximity.
Is it not true that segregation
and discrimination endanger the
welfare of the nation?

Mr. Kennedy may invoke se-
rious damage to himself if he
continues to abscond from Mar-
tin Luther King's second Eman-
cipation Proclamation which
asks for the abolition of segre-
gation and discrimination in all
areas of our society. King seems
to be tired of waiting for '63, Re-
member Mr. King Mr. President?
He's responsible for your present
address. WE THINK SO!

Impact of Changing Racial Climate on
Policies and Practices of Y.M.C.A/s

By Robert W Patrick

In a discussion of Racil Cli-
mate one must be aware of the
primary factors which are un-
avoidable. One is not reporting
on events of the past nor the
present, but rather on the fac-
tors by which the major prob-
lems of racial relationships exist.
Most of our problems are derived
from the lack of Freedom. Peace,
Progress, and Security.

Freedom is one of the main
reasons that we ithe Negroes i
are striving to make integration
successful. Freedom has no defi-
nite meaning; it is rather an
individual concept that we are
striving to obtain. Patrick Henry
once said, "give me liberty or
give me death," and the action
that the Negro has facilitated
toward integration indicates the
same

Progress implies change and
growth and the need to submit
to processes of adjustment which
occasionally are painful, and
this indeed has been emplified
in our action toward integration.

Staff Annoiince<l

According to Wilton C. Scott.
Director of Public Relations, El-
mer Thomas, who writes the
"College by the Sea" column for
the Savannah Morning News,
has been appointed Editor-in-
Chief of the Tiger's Roar for
1&62-63.

itor. Thurman Thomas; Business
Manager. Roscoe Edwards; Con-

The remaining positions will
be filled in September

Security in this sense refers to
assurance of acceptance in
American society. It is also re-
lated to one of the basic human
needs, the need for economic
security.

Peace in this sense refers to
the interrelationship and nego-
tiation between races.

Before integration can be fully
realized the American society
must be matured, morally, in-
tellectually, emotionally, and
most of all, socially, for when
one is socially mature he is able
to live easily, comfortably, and
harmoniously with other people.
The socially mature are free
from the neurotic necessity t"
dominate and control others and
will accept one as he is, with
respect.

The racial climate has changed
in the Y.M,C-A's and is favorable
to change in other aspects of
our society.

Fine Arts Festival

The Fine Arts Department had
on display during the fine arts
festival, a selection of paintings
and sculptures done by art stu-
dents of Savannah State College
and members of the community.

The purpose of the fine arts
festival Is to stimulate a greater
interest and appreciation of the
arts through the rendering of
programs, recitals, and exhibi-
tions. According to Mr. Phillip
Hampton, SSCs art expert, these
efforts have been very success-
ful in arousing student and com-
munity interest The display
was housed in the seminar room
of the college library

The subjects of the paintings
ranged from Carl Moore's
graphic description of the hustle
and bustle of Times Square after
a thunderstorm to Mrs. E. A.
Bertrand's abstract "Tmies Tri-
angle." Mrs. Bertrand explained
that her painting represents an
experimental effort In oil searcih-
ing for form and textural rela-
tionships rather than being of
any particular meaning Itself.

Others who have paintings on
display are: S. M. Jason, Ben
Colbert. Louise Lamar, Carl
Moore. Johnny Blair, Roosevelt
Harris and Mary McDew.

The sculpture was done by
Mrs, Susan Waters, Mrs. Ber-
trand and Harry Owens.

The Oconee High School Cho-
rus of Dublin, Georgia was fea-
tured in concert on Thursday's
assembly program. The group is
directed by an outstanding grad-
uate of Savannah State, Timothy
Ryais.

Ways lo Obtain
Results From
Competition

By Hersiiel Robinson. Jr.

This is an article written to
the students, faculty, and the
entire college family.

The class in Effective Living,
taught by Dr. C, A. Christophe.
has produced these ways of ob-
taining results from competition
as follows:

L To offer prizes and scholar-
ships.

2. Help students to appreciate
study.

3. Causes one to display best
abilities.

4. Give heavy assignments.

5 Competition equips one for
life after school.

6. A student who wants to
succeed does not need com-
petition, it is the student
who just wants to pass that
needs it,

7. Develop pride in one's work.

Disadvantages

1. Personality of teacher can
influence competition.

2. Discourages slow students:
results m disinterest.

3. Over-exertion (causes head-
aches )

4 The Dean's List and Honor
Roil may be harmful In
that some students strive to
obtain an "A" or "B" with-
out actually learning the
subject matter, but merely
giving an impression.

We have given you a general
outlook of what the students are
thinking about in our class. We
feel that you can obtain and see
how we feel about competition.

Defensive whiz Ira Jackson re-
cently became the second mem-
ber of Savannah State's fabulous
"Chicago Five" to be drafted by
a professional basketball team.

A former All-City player from
Chicago, Jackson was considered
to be the engine for the high-
powered and high-scoring Tiger
quintet. Playing with the sha-
dow of NAIA All-America Redell
Walton, he was the most under-
rated player on the squad.

In the twenty - six games
played by the Tigers this season,
the modest and somewhat shy
Jackson grabbed an average of
17 rebounds per game and tossed
in over 19 points per contest.

The big center teamed up with
scoring ace Redell Walton to lead
the Tigers to four consecutive
and division crowns and three
District 6-A NAIA titles.

The Charmin^i Lady

By Lois Carson

Charm is something
Found in you

That answers the question
Who's who?

We've seen ladies

And thought they were

charming.
Because all around them;
The fellows were swarming.

The fellows probably dug them.
Because they winked their eyes;
While the fellows thought they

had a good friend
The ladles had just been telling

lies.

Charm is a beauty
A beauty that is true
It makes her do the things
That she should do.

Her personality
Sweet as spring air;
When you're in her midst

A True Lovvr''s Story

By Hershel J. Robinson. Jr,
The little road to happiness

It Is not hard to find;
It might not lead to wealth and
fame
But to a contentment and
peace of mind.
It may have its changing day
No matter which way It may
sway.
It always at night and sometimes
Seems to bring us closer to-
gether.
So my darling, De Ann, love me
forever
And let not our love die never.

Please open your heart and let
me inside
Find a place in your heart.

A place for me.

I've hard so many tears since

we're apart.
I've had so many fears here in

my heart.

N'uw th.it ihr lifat is on. the
male students at Savannah State
are falling out in trousers, suits
and sports coats made of the
ever popular dacron and cotton
poplin materials.

The trousers come in various
shades of olive, brown, tan, and
stone mist, the most popular col-
ors for men this spring. These
colors are also found In suits and
sports coats.

Charles Phillips, pictured
above, models the latest campus
fad. He Is wearing a black pop-
lin coat with tan poplin trousers,
a blue and white striped snap-
tab shirt, a red muted tie and of
course, the ever popular dirty
sneakers.

Oh! The brief case Is to fool
the public. It's just another fad.

Chess Club
()r<;anized

If you hear students at Savan-
nah State talking about "bish-
ops," "rooks," or knockouts, the
chances are pretty good that
they aren't referring to members
of the clergy, first year athletes
or fistic encounters In which one
competitor spent ten seconds on
the canvas.

The above mentioned words
are terms used in the faclnatlng
game of chess. Several months

ago, several persons affiliated
with Savannah State College
met with the Intention of organ-
izing a systematic approach to
mastering the fundamentals of
the game.

According to George Grlmsley,
sophomore business major and
acting president of the club,
meetings are held twice weekly
to discuss the members' playing
efficiency. The approach they
use is very scientific. Beginning
with the elementary principles,
history and special points about
the game they move on to the
more complicated movements
and techniques.

Chess is regarded as one of
the most demanding games In
so far as thinking power is con-
cerned. It Is very popular In
Russia, especially among scholars
and Intellectuals. In the cur-
ricula of our three military aca-
demies are found courses in
chess. It is felt that this game
is one of the most practical ap-
plications of military strategy.

Frederick Brown, II, T. P.
Goyal. George Grlmsley and sev-
eral graduates of Savannah
State comprise the chess club.

The 1962 Savannah Negro College Fund Drive will get underway
May 17, with Mr, W, Vergil Winters, Professor of Math-Pyhsics at
Savannah State College and Chairman of the Drive, spearheading
the movement.

Other key figures in the drive
are Mrs, Frankie Ellis, Vice
Chairman; Miss Lola Dison, Sec-
retary; Mr, E, A. Bertrand,
Treasurer; Mr, W. C, Ervin, Di-
rector; Augusta-Savannah area;
and Dr, E, K, Williams, Assistant
Director.

A federation of 32 independent
colleges and universities in 11

southern states, the United Ne-
gro College Fund, Inc. has as its
main objective, raising money
to help maintam high academic
standards among Its member
colleges and to enable them to
offer scholarships to promising
students who otherwise could not
continue their education.

"The private Negro college is
unique in the American social
order for more reasons than its
lacial designation. In fact, its
identity as a 'Negro College.'
while never a cause for shame,
was an Identity that was im-
posed, deriving from the most
easily observable aspect of the
college its Negro student body
rather than growing out of
the essential meaning and pur-
pose of the institution," states
the UNCP Board of Directors.

Today, the 71 private institu-
tions of higher learning for Ne-
groes have an enrollment of
28,380, or approximately 33 per-
cent of the Negro students at-
tending predominantly Negro in-
stitutions.

With the help of thoughtful
Savannahians, the UNCF will be
able to help hundreds of Geor-
gia students further their edu-
cation and help our Georgia
private institutions acquire new
structures to build finer men
and women. Will you lend a
hand?

SSC Alumni Play
Important Role in
Life of Savannah

By Wilton C. Scott

The Savannah State College
Alumni Scholarship and Solici-
tation is now in progress and the
community can look with pride
on the work of the graduates
and former students of Savan-
nah State College.

In talking with graduate John
McGlockton, former president of
the Hub and member of numer-
ous other organizations as well
as a member of the board of
directors of the Carver Savings
Bank, he states. "We can never
repay our Alma Mater for what
it has given us but certainly we
can try."

It has been recognized that
the majority of public school
teachers In Georgia as welt as
other states are former students
of Savannah State College. In
looking at Savannah in particu-
lar, it appears that some 90% of
the teachers are products of
State, That is true of principals
also. Seventy per cent of the
Negro policemen in Savannah
either graduated or attended Sa-
vannah State College. The same
is true of civil service workers,
agricultural extension workers,
proprietors, and government em-
ployees,

It is obvious that these very
prosperous graduates will re-
spond readily to their Alma
Maters giving freely ranging
from $10 up.

Dr, William K. Payne, Presi-
dent of Savannah State, com-
ments, "Savannah State College
places much of Us hope and
faith for continued growth and
development in the Alumni.
Their achievements and influ-
ence in their respective locations
continue to creat a large circle
of Interested and dedicated
friends. Their annual contribu-
tions are playing a significant
role in the growth and improve-
ment of the College."

Peterson, who has authored
Prose and poetry, meets with
many of tomorrow's writers, for
his students have won top writ-
ing prizes in national competi-
tion and have already seen their
works published in leading
American magazines,

A native of Pittsburgh, Profes-
sor Peterson earned his bache-
lor's and master's degrees at the
University of Pittsburgh; he also
studied at Pennsylvania State
University and the Carnegie In-
stitute of Technology.

He joined the faculty of the
University of Pittsburgh as a
graduate assistant in 1927 and
has taught there ever since, ex-
cept in 1951 when he served as
visiting professor at the Univer-
sity of New Mexico and 1960
when he served as visiting pro-
fessor and director of the Short

President, A$A

How does a sciiool become a
college or a college become a
university? The freshmen come
and bring a little learning with
them and the seniors leave with-
out talcing any away.

We would like to think of this
as being just a play on words
and not a true definition, at
least not on our campus. On
June 5. between 70 and 80 sen-
iors will leave SSC and will take
away some "learning" and a lot
more besides.

Some of the campus' most out-
standing students will graduate
this year A kaleidoscopic view

of the graduating class will bear
out this statement.

The campus will certainly miss
the radiant beauty of Miss SSC,
Emma Sue McCrory and her at-
tendants. Juanita Quinn and
Dorothy Brown, who represented
SSC on so many occasions.

Leadershipwise, Student Coun-
cil President James DeVoe and
Vice President Berneice Pinkney
are among those leaving the
campus after serving as heads of
the student government. Senior
representatives Joy Heywood and
Louise Stewart Wllkerson will
also graduate.

SSC collegians will long re-
member Annette Kennedy and
Carolyn Vinson for their roles
in Cameo Sketches and "Medea "

To prove that more than just
a little learning will accompany
the seniors, take a look at the
membership of Alpha Kappa Mu
Honor Society. It will lose eight
of Its ten members. Dorothy
Brown. James DeVoe. Charles
Frazier, Mamie Green, Annette
Kennedy, Verdell Lambert. Juan-
ita Moon and Berneice Pinkney
win bid the society farewell.

The Tiger's Roar will lose Ed-
itors Berneice Pinkney, Verdell

Lambert, Associate Editors Ma-
mie Green and James DeVoe.

In a surprise move, the stu-
dent body was asked to name
their choices of the five most
outstanding seniors in the June
graduating class. There were no
criteria given as a basis for se-
lection other than being known
for performing some function
for the college, nor was there a
list of candidates. Ail prospec-
tive seniors were eligible. Look-
ing over the list of the five se-
lected, we find James DeVoe in
first place, Charles Frazier in
second and Verdell Lambert
third. Emma Sue McCrory was

selected for fourth place and
Bobby Burgesses fifth.

Yes, seniors, we are taking
quite a bit away with us. includ-
ing one of the senior class ad-
visors. Lest our heads be swelled
so that they exceed previous
measurements, a small reminder.
The wall of SSC will not crumble
and fall because of our leaving.
As a matter of fact, most of the
positions have been already
filled.

So turn the wheels of prog-
ress.

That thrills most of us.
To go to dances
We think we must.
Everything is pretty;
Everything is gay
This is the time
When most lovers say,

In their own special way.
It is the time
When birds sing
And girls get
Their engagement rings.
Spring is the time
For flowers to bloom
And for the

Bowling Finals Held

NEW YORK, May 9 The finals of the 550,000 Tournament of
Champions, which will be bowled at the AMF-equipped Play Bowi
Lanes in Indianapolis, Indiana, will be seen coast-to-coast over the
ABC-TV network on Sunday, May 20 from 5:00 p.m until 6:30 p.m.

Eastern Daylight Time,

The tournament, the first of ~ ^ ~ ~

its kind, will be made up of a
field of 25 bowlers. Every one of
them is a champion in his own
right, having won either a
Professional Bowlers Association
tourney or one of the top na-
tional titles. Such stars as Dick
Weber, current "Bowler of the
V'Mi" who is the All-Star cham-
pinii and has won more P.B.A.
tt.uirneys than any other bowler;
Don Carter, World's winner;
Fred Lening; Harry Smith; Glen
Allison; Carmen Salvmo; Vern
Downing; George Howard; and
many other great names of
bowling will compete for the top
prize of $15,000.

The bowlers will begin the
tournament on Saturday. May 19
by rolling 24 games. Each bowler
will roll against every other
bowler. The 25th game will be
a "position" game. Each bowler
will bowl the man who imme-
diately precedes him in the
scoring, thus second-place man
bowls the first-place man, fourth
against third, sixth against fifth
and so on through the entire
list.

In this round, as in the 24
preceding games, the bowler is
credited with one point for each
game he wins and one point for
every 30 pins he knocks down.

The three top scorers meet on
TV and the winner is determined
by total plnfall for two games.

As with many bowling spec-
taculars of the past, AMF will
coproduce the "500" Festival
Tournament of Champions.

A True
Lover^s Story

By Hershel J. Robinson, Jr.

Open your heart and let me in-
side
I would rather have De Ann's
love than pride.
I've tried so many, many ways,
so many days
Please make my life begin and
not end.
Open your heart and let me in.

Darling, we make the world in
which we live.
By the goals we see, the
heights we pursue.
And the things we are supposed
to do.
What is the place in which we
dwell
Whether it be a heaven, a para-
dise, or hell-
It's ours, so lets hope for only
the best.
So as to live in peace and in
reality.
Which especially receives the
best.
Oh! my darling, close your eyes
And let the visions come alive.
And don't let them fade

Like the evening ocean tide.
The breeze may rupture the
waves in the sea,
But deep in your heart I hope
it will always be me.

Wherever I go. and whatever I
do
I'll always worry, wait, love,
and dream of you.
Our summit, our goals, are for-
ever to be reached,
Although the road may some-
time get steep
And the little river of our life
too deep.
I will always say your love is
my peak.
But if we didn t dream. Darling
wt could not see.

"A Dislaiil Holl"

By Charles A. Phillips

" Distant Bell," was the pathe-
tic narrative of a mother who
has been misunderstood and has
thus been treated as one who
was insane. It all began when
her husband, James, had her
committed to a rest home early
in her married life. Although, at
times her actions were a bit ir-
regular, she was not lacking In
wisdom and understanding,

The mother. Mrs. Lucy Greer,
a leading role played by Miss
Jewel Grant, a graduate of How-
ard University, a teacher of spe-
cial education, and a six-year
member of the Y. Players, has
the strange obsession that she
has lived in other periods of our
civilization. A great part of her
problem has been that of her
brother-in-law. Burton Greer,
which was played by Charles A.
Phillips, a Junior, majoring In
Social Science, a prominent
character in "Dark Victory" and
a third year member of the Y.
piayers, who felt that she should
be committed. However he did
succeed in having committed
her iavorite daughter Waverly,
which was played by Mrs. Sally
M, Marlon, a graduate of Morgan
State College where she partici-
pated in drama, a third year
member of the Y. Players.

The story became complicated
when as a young man John
Greighton, a leading part, played
by Daniel Washington, a teacher
of English, and a four year mem-
ber of the Y. Players, who has
appeared In several productions
of the College Playhouse, came
to work in their town and found
himself interested in two of the
daughters, one the serious type,
the other the gay type.

Flagg. played by Rose Baker, a
senior at Savannah State Col-
lege, a college Playhouse mem-
ber, majoring in Social Science
and is active in many campus
organizations. The third daugh-
ter, Barrett, played by Flora
Braxton, a senior majoring in
Business Administration, a mem-
ber of the College Playhouse,
and many campus organizations,
the quiet type, built up her bit-
terness for her mother and fi-
nally blows up.

Others In the cast were Mamie
Adams, Jean Seabrook. Sarah
Ellison. Lawrence Mock, and
Benjamin Colbert.

Technical Science
News Notes

In the industrial and technical
science area of Savannah State
College, the technical science
club has just finished its most
recent activity which was a fund
raising boatride to Dafuski Is-
land The funds will be used to
defray the operational expenses
of the club.

One of the purposes of the club
is to acquaint the students with
the many areas encompassed in
the technical sciences. It strives
also to heighten the competitive
spirit of its members.

Membership in the technical
science club is both a challenge
and an honor. The challenge is
to keep pace with the ever
changing industrial and scien-
tific growth of the space age.
The honor is granted to those
who successfully meet the chal-
lenge,

ployed as a camp counselor at
Camp Henry located in the state
of New York for the summer
season.

Kent, serving as a counselor,
will assume the responsibility of
directing the physical and camp-
ing activities of 18 campers who
comprise some 90 boys attending
Camp Henry for a three-week
session, under the auspices of
the famous Henry Street Settle-
ment in New York City,

The Henry Street Settlement
is a group of houses located in
New York City which is geared
toward the purpose of helping
persons in that community to
build better lives for themselves
and their community. Offering
a wide variety of services to the
New York community, the Henry
Street Settlement serves more
than 11,000 persons a year drawn
from more than 40 racial and
religious origins. Camp Henry
for boys is only one of these
services established to meet the
need of our society.

Kent is the second S.S.C, stu-
dent to be employed by Camp
Henry. Abraham L. Jones, a
graduating senior, worked in
this same position for two sum-
mers.

Therman Thomas, a junior.
Health, Physical Education and
Recreation major, has been ap-
pointed to the position of Direc-
tor of the Sophronia Tompkins
Recreation Center, He assumed
the responsibilities of the posi-
tion in June of this year. The
City Recreation Commission,
through the Savannah Civil
Service System, hired the stu-
dent on basis of recommenda-
tions from teachers, persons with
whom he had previously been
employed, and courses in his ma-
jor that he has completed at
Savannah State College. He has
general supervision of the build-
ing and its facilities, the per-
sonnel employed at the gym. and
its entire operation. One of his
duties is to develop programs
of group and individual partici-
pation. These may or may not
be athletic, in fact there are
several activities open to adults
and children such as arts and
crafts and folk dancing.

Thomas graduated from
Tompkins High School in 1960
and entered Savannah State the
following fall. He has had five
years experience as a football
player, four as a regular starter
at Tompkins and one as a player
on the Savannah State team
during his freshman year.

Some of the students at Sa-
vannah State this summer are
not officially enrolled at the reg-
istrar's office!! In fact they
haven't paid their fees at the
bursar's office!!

No cause for alarm, though,
the students I'm referring to are
the group of outstanding high
school graduates who partici-
pated in the Pilot Study Project
at Savannah State.

The Pilot Training Program
sponsored by the Southern Edu-
cation Foundation and Savan-
nah State College, began on June
20 and ended on July 20.

The students were tested dur-
ing the early stages of the pro-
gram to determine their mental
abilities and scholastic achieve-
ment. At the end of the program
they will be tested again to ex-
amine the effectivenes.s of the
four weeks of intensified train-
ing in reading, mathematics and
science.

Students participating were:

Betty Jean Gordon. Jean But-
ler and Shirley Connors, from
Beach High School; Barbara
Borne and Mary Joyce Reeves,
Ballard-Hudson High School:
Ruby Dean Clarke, Dorothy
Brown and Sarah Nell Sinmions,
William James High School;

the program.

Dr. E. K. Williams, Co-ordina-
tor of General Education, is di-
rector of the project.

Dr. Tucker Addod

The Chemistry Department
announced the appointment of
Mr. Willie G. Tucker to the
chemistry staff. Tucker studied
at Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee,
Alabama where he received his
B.S. and M.S. degrees. He has
been a teaching fellow at the
University of Oklahoma for the
past four years, where he has
completed all requirements for
the Ph.D. in chemistry.

As a graduate student at Ok-
lahoma, Tucker worked on the
preparation of Two-Chloropyru-
din compound. He holds mem-
bership in the Society of Xi, a
national scientific honor society.
and the American Chemical So-
ciety.

Dr. Pratt, chairman of the de-
partment, is also a graduate of
the University of Oklahoma.

With the addition of Dr. Tuc-
ker to the Staff, the department
will be able to offer better train-
ing to the majors as well as to
majors in other areas, such as
biology, who must have strong
backgrounds in chemistry. This
will be accomplished, at least in
part, by providing well trained
staff members. A further at-
tempt will be made to increase
speciliazation that is to have on
the faculty a Ph.D. in each of
the five major areas of chemis-
tryphysical, analytical, inor-
ganic, bio-and organic. Dr. Tuc-
ker's area of specialization was
organic chemistry and instru-
mental analysis. Dr. Pratt con-
centrated in bio-chemistry.

With improved staffing, equip-
ment and facilities, Pratt envis-
sioned the possibility of Savan-
nah State offering graduate
courses and/or advanced degrees
in chemistry.

THE Tir.ER-S ROAR

June July. 1062

World News and Politics

By Samuel M Trucl

Tiie Abolilinii of llir
Unit Svsleni

In an effort to keep church
and state separate as put forth
in the U. S. Constitution, the
Supreme Court outlawed the
formalation and the enforcing
of OFFICIAL prayers in public
schools.

The ruling came about as the
result of the contesting of the
officials of the New York pub-
lic school system right to have
children recite an OFFICIAL
prayer prior to classes. The brief
prayer said. "Almighty God, we
acknowledge our dependence
upon thee, and we beg thy bless-
ings upon our parents, our
teachers, and our country."

Under tlie law students were
not compelled to recite the
prayer. These not In accord
were allowed to leave during the
religious exercise, but to the
court this meant no difference,
because the prayer was WRIT-
TEN AND DIRECTED BY A
GOBERNMENT BODY. To those
who remained it was a religious
exercise, "An official religious
exercise is unconstitutional," the
court said.

This columnist fails to see why
there is so much controversy
over the issue except on the
part of the Southern congress-
men and politicians who seek to
disinfranchlse the court by pre-
senting only part of tlie Issue to
his constituents The court DID
NOT OUTLAW PRAYER IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS, but made
null and void the- official sanc-
tioning of prayers by govern-
ment.

Today, more and more people
are joining the ranks of the
Goldwaters and/or Talmadges in
saying that the Supreme Court
is too powerful. These "right-
ists," as they call themselves.
declare that some of the power
of the Supreme Court should be
curtailed. These "right-wingers"
claim that all of the Court's rul-
ings since 1954 have been un-
constitutional.

They say nothing about the
Dred Scott decision or the up-
holding of the "separate-but-
equal doctrine" a few decades
back.

We should accept the rulings
of the court whether we go along
with them or not. If we reject
the court, we reject the consti-
tution; if we reject the consti-
tution, we refute the foundation
upon which this nation was laid.

Hif>;Ii Coiirl Hules
On Prayer

The refusal of the U. S. Fed-
eral District Court to recognize
the present county unit system
In Georgia is the best thing that
happened here since Dr. Martin
Luther King moved to Atlanta.

Georgia has been ordered to
re-apportion its legislature. Un-
der the old system the city vot-
ers' strength was unequal to the
power held by the rural voters.
therefore, with the idea of stay-
ing In office in mind, the law-
makers in Atlanta did not hesi-
tate to jump when the country
folk cracked the whip. The peo-
ple in the larger metropolitan
areas paid the bulk of the taxes
while the people in the rural
areas benefitted from their po-
litical advantage.

Recently, the Georgia Demo-
cratic Party voted to outlaw the
present county-unit system, July
10th was the deadline for the
presentation of the revision
plans. The party decreed that
the 1962 gubernatorial race and
other state offices will be de-
cided by the popular vote.

The County-Unit System,
which has been in operation
since 1908 i54 years too long).
provided for the allocation of six
votes each to the eight largest
counties, four each to the next
30 counties ind population, while
the next 121 counties held two
votes apiece. The candidate or
candidates carrying a particular
county received that particular
county's unit votes.

The candidate receiving 410
units or more became the victor,
even If his opponent or oppon-
ents received more popular votes.

Coiirl'.s Prayer
Decision

By Abraham L, Jones
The results of a canvassing of
the student body of Savannah
State College showed that a
majority (150) of the students
questioned at Savannah State
support the recent U. S. Supreme
Court's decision making it un-
constitutional for the use of
official state prayers In public
schools.

The students were selected at
random and the following ques-
tions were asked:

"Do you support the U, S.
Supreme Court's decision
making it unconstitutional
for the use of official state
prayers in public schools."
110 students replied "yes"
while 40 rejected the decision.
The affirmative consensus was
centered mainly around the be-
lief that the court's function is
to interpret the constitution and
all religious education and train-
ing should emanate from church
schools and homes.

Those students rejecting the
decision contend igenerally) that
this decision is abetting the
cause of communism.

The decision in question was
made in a case involving a 22-
word prayer by the New York
Board of Regents for use in the
state's public schools.

Job of Making
Your Newspaper

NEW YORK Canada's news-
print producers who provide
more than 70 percent of the
American supply, have just fin-
ished a key phase of the job of
making paper for next year's
newspapers.

This is the annual spring drive,
in which millions of pulpwood
logs cut In the backwoods last
fall and winter are floated down-
river to the mills. Most of the
paper made from these logs will
reach U.S. newspapers during
1963.

Details of the drive are ex-
plained by the Newsprint Infor-
mation Committee, composed of
a representative group of the
Canadian mills.

Tossing one log in the river to
float downstream is simple and
costs nothing. Tossing in some
40 million logs is both compli-
cated and costly.

From the air, a lake or river
full of logs looks like a tub of
baih water into which have been
dumped twelve boxes of corn-
flakes. The latter eventuality
would present certain problems
for the pluming and these prob-
lems have their counterparts in
the comiJlex river drive.

Annual Push

Records for one such river
operation show that the annual
push requires the services of 300
men to move a million cords 189
miles. It takes 150 days and al-
most a million dollars.

Os the thaw builds up the head
of water in the lakes and rivers,
the logs are enclosed in booms
which are towed into position
behind the dams. For this job
and kindred work, the inventory
includes 20 power boats, 10 out-
board motors, two derricks
mounted on scows, ten other
scows, and four houseboats.

As we look about us in the li-
brary, the classrooms, the labo-
ratories, we see many individu-
als who normally perform the
duties of the classroom teacher
during the academic year re-
turning to college to participate
in workshops and other activities
of interest to in-service teach-
ers. Whether it is their will or
not. these persons have returned
to improve their skills as con-
veyors of knowledge, Instigators
of intellectual curiosity and
moldei's of citizens of this state
and nation.

At no time in history has such
a high premium been placed on
formal education. The scientific
marvels of the past decade alone
are astonishing. Scientists and
engineers have perfected ma-
chines that perform certain
tasks many times faster and
with much more accuracy than
the human brain, aircraft that
transport their multi-ton cargo
at unbelievable speeds over
thousands of miles. Medical
science, through improvements
in facilities and techniques, has
increased the span of life for
the average person born in 1960
to 69-7 years as compared to 60
in 1950. Out of every thousand
babies born in 1951, '29,1 died be-
fore they reached their first
birthday. In 1961 this figure was
reduced to 25 out of every thous-
and. Vast improvements in the
standard of living and intellec-
tual status of people all over the
world have been made.

Along with these changes for
a more "livable" world, there are
many other changes taking
place. If not dealt with prop-
erly, they threaten the security
and well-being of all mankind.
Enslaved men all over the world
are quickly throwing off the
bonds of colonialism and oppres-
sion, A powerful economical-
political system already has un-
der its control millions of people
and is growing more powerful
and gigantic every day. The
population boom in several coun-
tries of the world means the
amount of food available per
individual is decreasing rapidly.
There is much concern as to the
inadequacy of our water supply.
Statistics show that the crime
rate among Americans is on the

niarch. Men of one color are
sending men of another color,
often illiterate, unskilled, mis-
fortunate, to other parts of their
country in soothe of an urge that
makes them hate, in satisfaction
of prejudiced beliefs and opin-
ions seasoned by agents of bi-
gotry, ignorance and unwar-
ranted convention.

The story of the fourth grade
youngsters reply to his teacher's

geography question is quite fa-
mous. "Johnny, what shape is
the world?" His reply: "Pa says
the world is in a terrible shape."

Yes. we are living in troubled
times. We face destruction and
possible annihilation of the hu-
ma nrace. The storms of war,
poverty and ignorance have
taken their toll on the world.
The flood waters have risen to
a critical state but we still have
time to pump out some of these
waters that threaten the erosion
of man's culture and civilization.
There must be the creation of a
greater degree of understanding
between nation and nation,
black and white. As members of
the minority group we must re-
fute the false contention held by
the white supremlsts that Ne-
groes belond on the back seat.
We must, however, be able to
"measure-up," Our people must
be competent, Our teachers must
be of the highest quality, lest we
find ourselves within an endless
circle of low-quality education.
We can not take yesterday's
tools, do a good job today, and
expect to be in business tomor-
row.

So teachers and potential
teachers, we must take our busi-
ness more seriously. We must
decide that second best is not
good enough. We must realize
that teaching is a sacred profes-
sion. Jesus Christ, Socrates and
Aristotle, three of the greatest
beings who ever lived, were
teachers. Teachers of facts,
mendors of ideals, molders of
men just as you are. We
should, therefore, work more
diligently so that we may be-
come better teachers of facts,
menders of ideals, molders of
men. This is the charge of 20th
century education this is the
charge of Savannah State Col-
lege.

Alas! Summer is here! And,
luckily ladies it didn't come
alone. For if you look around,
you will behold summer's accom-
panist, this season's- most ultra-
chic fashions. They're every-
where . . .

On the beach, at a glance you
see Jantzen, Catalina. Rose Marie
Reid. At the park, you see cap-
tivating styles by Miss Pat, Mac-
shore Classics, Petti, and Mr.
Mort. During an evening on the
town, you glimpse the sleek, so-
phisticated stylings of the fash-
ion artist. Jonathan Logan. Yes.
any young lady would be set for
a summer of fun and excitement
with such combinations.

Speaking of fun and excite-
ment, you're sure to have just
that when you head for the
beach in a striking Rose Marie
Reid swlmsuit. In the event, you
haven't noticed, each year the
beachwear becomes just a little
bit snazzier. This year the ver-
satile Rose Marie Reid styles are
accentuated by daring, low-cut
backs. The alluring styles come
i nlatex. knit, and the latest
material lycra fibers. And here's
another bonus, the famous RMR
swim suits may be gotten in ev-
ery color of the rainbow.

Now, if you will just hold on
for something new . . . Yes, new,
fantastic, and stylish are perfect
adjectives to describe the latest,
greatest beach sensation the
"snuggle shirts." They are ador-
able three-quarter length cot-
ton knit shirts that create oceans
of interest on the beach. Com-
paratively new. these shirts may
be worn as a cover-up garmet
over bathing suits or shorts.
Some of these unique shirts may
even be bought with hoods if you
crave a worldly air. However,
regardless of the style of the
shirt, all of them look bright,
breezy and SNUGGY.

Vision Care Helps
You Drive Safely

The difference between life
and death lies in your eyes when
you're driving a car, the Vision
Conservation Institute of Penna.,
Inc., warns.

For the sake of yourself and
your car not to mention the
other fellow on the road it be-
hooves you to keep your vision
functioning at the highest level
of efficiency-
Optometrists can help you do
this. In most cases they are able
to correct any visual errors that
exist very satisfactorily. And.
even if you have faults which
may not be corrected, you'll find
it helps to know what they are.
A frequent eye examination is
a definite step in the right di-
rection of safety. For the motor-
ist, clear, sharp seeing is of pri-
mary importance.

But. you also need a good,
wide field of vision. The normal
person can see almost 90 degrees
to each side while fixing his
vision on a point straight ahead.
If your field is less than 75 de-
gress to each side, there is dan-
ger you may fail to see a car or
a pedestrian approaching from
Now, to leave the outside
scene for a while. There are just
as attractive outfits to be worn
inside. For example, an original
by Jonathan Logan, or Youth
Guild- What could be more en-
ticing to don for those spark-
ling parties?

The lovely dress styles shown
this season have bodices that are
shoestring, single - strap, and
strapless. In addition to those
assets, this summer's dreamy,
after-five fashions come in dur-
able materials like petit point
pique, batiste, organdy and the
delectable nylon tulle. And to
add a bit of good news to the
"slim Miss," the sku-ts to the
season's newest dresses are bill-
owy, floaty, and bouffant.

Fashionably speaking, that's
about it for this issue. Well,
how about those fashions for
brightening up last summer's
wardrobe? EUes sont belles,

condition may be causing this.

A driver should also have effi-
cient depth perception, in order
to judge how far away the neigh-
boring cars are and to estimate
their speedy. Many accidents
are caused by poor depth per-
ception.

Color vision rarely presents a
serious problem to a motorist,
for less than 1% of all those
with faulty color vision are un-
able to distinguish red traffic

CAMILLA HUBERT HALL
NEWS NOTES

By Kermettu Clark
Two exciting parties and the
opportunity to meet many inter-
esting people has made residing
in Camilla Hubert Hall both in-
formative and enjoyable so far
this summer.

Among the varied personali-
ties living in the dorm are Pilot
Study students, in-service teach-
ers and Dr. Irene Ighodaro. from
Nigeria. West Africa, Dr. Ighod-
aro was on tour in the United
States and Puerto Rico to study
the living conditions In America,

In order to get acquolnted so-
cially, everyone In the dormitory
along with the young men of
Wright Hall were invited to a
party in the College Center on
June 29. The second "Feast
Party." as they are referred to
by some students, took place on
Wednesday, June 11. in the lobby
of Camilla Hubert Hall, Both af-
fairs were very much enjoyed.

There are a number of activi-
ties on the agenda for the sum-
mer in Camilla Hubert Hall, and
I shall keep you posted as to the
happenings.

Dplectiie" Successful In Solving
of ik "Mi\\{ Razor"

By Elmer Thomas

I examined briefly the gadget
on Barbara's desk in the Pro-
cessing Room of the College Li-
brary, but immediately I could
not determine what it was or
what it did. Because of its size
and shape I could "readily see"
that it was an electric razor. The
parallel slots on the end gave
further proof to this contention.

"But what was it doing on
Barbara's desk?" I asked myself,
"She shouldn't bring it to work.
Maybe she found it somewhere.

Whatever the reason, it is out of
place."

After she returned to her sta-
tion at the typewriter I said to
her, politely:

"Barbara, what are you doing
with that thing on your desk?"

"I use it, silly!"

"There's nothing wrong with
that, but do you use it here, in
the office?"

"Where else would I use it?"

"Weil. I think you should take
care of all your personal groom-
ing at home."

"Grooming? Who said any-

thing about grooming? This is
an electric E-RASER ! !

"Look here." she said.

She carefully placed a sheet
of paper into the typewriter and
wrote In bold capital letters,
"S-T-U-P-I-D." She clicked the
switch and the motor hummed.
She moved the twirling pivot of
the machine across the word she
had written. Within an instant
the word was almost completely
eradicated. Just like you do with
the thing on the top of your pen-
cil.

Hooray! for mechanization!!

Some Days Are Loiifxer
Than Others

Many Savannah Staters liave
said "This sure has been a long
day." and according to the U, S.
Coast and Geodetic Survey, some
days are longer than others. Of
course the difference is .so mi-
nute that it could not be real-
ized by the human mind.

The rotation of the earth on
its axis has been said to be
slightly variable and hence the
sideral day, and also that of the
mean solar day derived from It.
are not strictly uniform. The
non-uniformity in the rotation
is produced In three different
ways:

(11 Tidal friction acts as a
brake on the rotation and causes
a slow secular increase in the
length of the day. The present
length of the day is closely equal
to the period of free oscillation
of the atmosphere, whose ampli-
tude Is therefore increased by a
reasonable effect. The phase of
the atmospheric tide Is such that
it tends to accelerate the rota-
tion of the earth, energy being
drawn from the sun by a heat
engine effect. It is probable that
tidal friction has slowed the
earth down until the length of
the day has gradually approxi-
mated to the period of the at-
mospheric oscillation and that
the atmospheric accelerating
maintains tlie rate of rotation
statistically uniform.

12) There are irregular fluc-
tuations in the rate of rotation.
which is sometimes retarded and
sometimes accelerated, Within a
comparatively short time the
length of the day may change
by as much as five milliseconds.
There is some evidence that
changes within the earth's mag-
netic field may effect the rate of
rotation.

"31 There is a fairly regular
seasonal variation in the rate of
rotation, the earth becoming
slow in the spring and fast in
autumn; the seasonal variation
in the length of the day is about
two milliseconds. This seasonal
variation is a result of a change
in the angular momentmii of the
seasonal winds, which must be
compensated by o corresponding
variation in tlie opposite sense
of the angular momentum of the
earth.

Emotional depression disturbs
the normal balance of sugar
metabolism in the body, and this
in turn, causes some obse women
to overeat.

The overeating is not caused
by an increase in hunger drive.
but by a failure of the brain's
signal mechanism to indicate
when hunger has been satisfied.
said Dr, Albert Stunkind. Profes-
sor of Psychiatry at the Univers-
ity of Pennsylvania,

The upset In sugar metabolism
seems to interfere with proper
stimulation of the brain me-
chanism for indicating hunger
satisfaction. Studies Indicate
that mental attitudes and reac-
tions play an important role in
accelerating or retarding a per-
son's inclination to become ex-
cessively overweight.

Hand and WrisI X-Rays
Iileiilify Living and Dead

An X-ray film of a human
wrist or hand can provide "con-
clusive proof" of a person's iden-
tity, a Stanford University
School of Medicine scientist re-
ports.

Individual bones of the hand
and wrist differ enough from one
person to another that if no
other marks are available such
as fingerprints or dental work
the person can be identified.

A study of hand X-rays of the
same individual from early
chiidiiood over many years shows
that tlie skeletal features useful
for identification usually are
fixed during late adolescece and
remain relatively unclianged un-
til at least well into the thirties.

There is enough slmitarity be-
tween one person's right and

Adherence to Important Rules
Should Make Summer Vacations
Safer, More Enjoyable

FLINT, Mich. Your vacation trip this summer will be a lot
safer and more enjoyable if you will get plenty of rest each night
and limit your driving to 10 hours per day.

These are two of the most important rules followed by Buick
test drivers in compiling a record of 3,000,000 miles without an acci-
dent at the General Motors Proving Grounds, Milford, Michigan.

A, E, McManama, genera! supervisor of Buick's road test depart-
ment, lists the following as musts for Buick's driving team:

Good living habits plenty of sleep and rest,
and a good frame of mind with no worries

while driving.

Break up monotony stop for coffee
or gas. at regular intervals, get out
and walk around. Never go more than
two hours or 150 miles without a stop.
This keeps you fresh, alert and at your
driving peak.

Limit your Daily Driving ten hours of driv-
ing per day is the limit. After that you

are asking for trouble.

Car maintenance it's a must to
keep your car in top mechanical
condition.

Drive a tidy Car: Loose articles, litter, pack-
ages, etc., can be dangerous. Keep the in-
side of your car neat and tidy, everything
packed in convenient places where loose
items can't slide around. Packages piled on
the rear window ledge becomes missiles in
case of a collision, and they also block the
view of the driver behind you.

Follow road conditions: If the sign
says 40 m.p,h., believe it. If it says.
"Slow, dangerous curve," take the-
highway department's word for it. The
signs are placed along the roadway
ior your help, and they have a good
reason for being there. Dusk and
dawn are poor visibility driving times.
Use extra care then.

'These are the rules we follow." points out McManama, "and
everyone of them can be adapted by the motorist. Strict adherence
to them is the best insurance we know against accidents."

students enrolled in the School
Libraiy Administration and Or-
ganization summer class at Sa-
vannah State College presented
a Symposium on "Achieving Ex-
cellence In Teaching Through
the School Library," at the regu-
lar all-college assembly on
Thursday, July 12th.

This topic was selected for dis-
cussion in order to dramatize the
library as a teaching materials
center. Far too long have teach-
ers in the public schools ignored
the library in their teaching.
Educators, lor the purposp of
strengthening the public schools,
are now calling for the abandon-
ment of the one-text-book ap-
proach and are now insisting on
the use of a wide assortment of
books and materials which will
enrich and reinforce the learn-
ing process.

An illustration of the lack of
concern for the school library is
The Secondary School Teachers
and Library Services, a report of
a significant and revealing study
of teacher use of the library by
the NEA in November 1958, This
study found that among second-
ary school teachers, the major
users are teachers of English,
Social Studies and Science,
Teachers of Business Education,
Industrial Arts, and Mathematics
are minor users. Teachers of
art, foreign language, household
arts, music, health and physical
education are potential users;
however, many of them find the

''Meet the Professor^ Television
Program Gives Insight Into Many
Problems Faeed By Educators

This panel discussion, of spe-
cial interest to college-bound
students and all parents, exam-
ined the financial motivation of
college students, how much more
a college graduate can expect to
learn in a lifetime than the aver-
age high school graduate, the
purposes of college teaching, and
the assumption on the part of
some that American colleges and
universities fail to prepare col-
leg estudents adequately.

"Meet The Professor" is pro-
duced by the Public Affairs Of-
fice of ABC News in cooperation
with the Association for Higher
Education. NEA. The series will
be renewed in the 1963 fall sea-
son.

the development of libraries
and the profession of libra-
rianship in the United States.

2, To give the student a know-
ledge of professional organi-
zation, early leaders in the
library movement and other
agencies which promote li-
braries.

3, To give the student an under-
standing of the purposes and
necessity for organizing li-
brary materials.

4, To help develop an under-
standing of the purposes and
necessity for organizing li-
brary materials.

5, To provide the essential skills
for competent leadership in
a dynamic school library pro-
gram.

Each one of these objectives is
being explored fuUy and each
student in this course will strive
to go back to her community
and make her library more than
a house for books but a "Bee-
Hive of Activities" that engulf
every phase of education and
pleasure.

The members of this class are
all teachers. Fifteen received
scholarships from the Depart-
ment of Education to take the
course while the other sixteen
are sponsoring their own educa-
tio nin this growing field. The
fact that there are so many en-

A total of 1160 students are en-
rolled at Savannah State dur-
ing the 1962 Fall quarter accord-
ing to figures released from the
Office of the Registrar.

This year's entering class is
7% smaller than the class enter-
ing in the fall of 1961 (320 in
1961 as compared to 298 in 1962) ;
and 287o smaller than the 1960
freshman class when 412 stu-
dents began their studies here.

One of the most noteworthy
of changes and additions made
this academic year is the ad-
dition of more late afternoon
and evening classes to provide
persons not able to attend regu-
lar sessions with the opportunity
to receive an education.

The total length of the college
day has been increased with the
addition of what was formerly
the lunch hour as a regular class
period. In June of 1963, the col-
lege will have ended its first
full year as a fully accredited
member of the Southern Associ-
ation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools.

A new grading system will go
into effect. The "4 point system"
will replace the "3 point system"
used here in past years.

We Would Like To See the Day..

When students at Savannah
State College would become fully
aware of the challenges that
confront us and would dedicate
ourselves to the Improvement
culturally, educationally and
economically of our people, our
nation and the world by the ap-
plication of what we have learn-
ed and will press on toward new
goals and horizons. . -

When those persons not dedi-
cated to teaching and not
seriously in the welfare of our
students would quit the profes-
sion, or in the case of future
teachers, to either develop a firm
mastery of the subject matter
and effective techniques of In-
struction or find other occupa-
tions. . - ,

When educators of the "old
order" would realize that a new
day is here and lend their moral
support, at least, to the fight
for freedom. . . .

When whites would realize
that the American Negro Intends
to secure for himself all rights
and privileges enjoyed by other
citizens. , , .

When (here would be nn need
for the NAACP , . - when the
White Citizens Council and Ku
Klux Klan would dissolve. . . .

When candidates for public
office will no longer abusively
in.sult a segment of the popula-
tion and at the same time ad-
vocate complete disregard for
the welfare of these same peo-
ple. . . -

When our people would come
to realize that In order for us
to elevate our status from the
lowest rung on the economic
ladder in order to share more
of the fruits of an abundant
society that we ourselves must
become more enterprising and
productive. Small confectlonerys.
barber shops and gas stations
siiouldn't be the limits of our
business activities.

We would like to see the day
when the vision of the United
States of America as a truly
democratic nation would be more
of a reality than a dream; and
when all American citizens can
sing "America The Beautiful"
with meaning and true sincerity.

Whistling Against
A Strong Wind

By Samuel M. Truell
Undoubtedly, the Impending
crisis In the 'sovereign" state of
Mississippi is one of the gravest
chapters in the lives of our
citizens since the War Between
the States.

Governor Ross Barnett's
staunch refusal to obey federal
court orders to enroll James
Meredith at the University
touched off a civil conflict which
has made the Little Rock fiasco
sound like a nursery rhyme.

Because of the governor's ac-
tions at the outset of the crisis
and his subsequent failure to act
rationally after it became ap-
parent that violence would erupt,
a foreign reporter and a juke
box repairman have been killed.

Perhaps Harnett should be
charged with the murder of the
two victims Had the governor
not been so loud and abusive
with advocations of defiance, the
situation would never have be-
come such an ugly mess.

The chief executive of a state
is a man of honor and prestige.
He is a man whom many look to
for guidance. When his con-
stituents looked to him for direc-
tion, the governor responded by
sending them up a dark alley.
On three different occasions
Barnett journeyed from Jackson
(state capital) to Oxford, arbi-
trariy set himself up as registrar
of Ole Miss and rejected Mere-
dith's application for admission
to the lily-white institution.

Mr. Barnett repeatedly quoted
the tenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States.
But Barnett refused to take
notice of the fourteenth amend-
ment to the same constitution.

There is no room in the Inn
for men like Ross Barnett. This
out-of-date governor has
exemplified a personal disregard
for federal authority. Maybe
Barnett himself should take a
course in American History. If
he does he will learn or be re-
minded that federal supremacy
won out over state's rights on a
bleak day in 1865 when General
Lee sang to General Grant. "I
surrender, Dear."

Because of the actions of a
stubborn few, this great nation
must hang its head in shame.
Newspapers around the world
tchoed the Mississippi crisis with
all its ugly details. This dis-
torted picture of this country
will remain in the minds of
many for a long time to come.

The President MUST, when-
ever the need presents itself, use
haste In sending federal troops
to protect the property and lives
of the citizens of Mississippi or
any other state in the Union.

The prompt and determined
action of the federal govern-
ment to enforce federal laws
should be a warning to South
Carolina and Alabama, the two
states remaining who have com-
plete segregation.

History has shown us that the
doctrine of Interposition is a
direct repudiation of the consti-
tution. Southern leadei's and
citizens must realize that some
degree of integration is inevit-
able all over the South In the
foreseeable future.

The moral of the Mississippi
Saga YOU JUST CAN'T BUCK

Cuba Dynitnit
At Our Doorsteps

The immediate response of the
United States to the military
build-up in Cuba by the Soviet
Union has won the support of a
large majority of the free world
leaders.

The big question now is
whether the Soviets will try to
force their way through the
blockade. It is very possible that
Cuban puppet Fidel Castro could
start World War III, or perhaps
it need not be numbered since
it may be the last one.

There seems to be little
grounds for critism of the ac-
tions of Pres. Kennedy and most
observers agree that the Presi-
dent had no alternative in the
situation. To back down from
our commitments to defend this
hemisphere from Communistic
aggression would result in a tre-
mendous loss of prestige by the
U. S, throughout the world.
Russian bases on the island
would put this country and the
West at a great military disad-
vantage. The Russians have re-
peatedly declared that they will
spread their system of govern-
ment throughout the world and
would stop short of nothing to
accomplish this. But what makes
the island of Cuba so militarily
important to the Russians?
Without a single missile in Cuba.
the Russians could hit almost
any target on the U. S, mainland
from launching pads in the
Soviet Union. Of course the time
factor is to be considered, but
is Castro and/or Cuba worth the
risk of war to the Russians? This
question may be answered soon.

UNITED COMMUNITY APPEAL

ScCcia%ial

By Elmer Thomas

The story is told that a four-
footed animal, probably an ape
or gorilla, was roaming through
the woods thousands of years
before the appearance of
Neanderthal man. The sight of
a glossy apple dangling from
overhead motivated the crea-
ture's impulse to secure the fruit
for himself. Clutching the apple
In his paw he was very happy
with the fruit of his effort he
mastered a skill practiced by
none of his jungle colleagues

This fable would have differ-
ent meanings to different people.
but the point here is that in-
centive or motivation was the
necessary stimulant preceding
the achievement. In this case
it was the fact that the fruit
could be reached if the animal
would put forth the necessary
effort.

And so it is with human
beings. Of course there are
numerous types of "fruits" to
serve as incentives or motivators
in the process, but the basic
operational principles are the
same.

Our people have long been
characterized as being lazy and
non-enterprising. One military
officer said that Negroes under
his command were poor soldiers
in combat. Employers complain
that Negroes lack the initiative

World Faith Explained

By Henry Lelands Ginn

Here is how Christian and Jew,
Black and White, East and West
have found peace of mind and
satisfaction of soul in over 257
countries of the world. This is
the secret of inner health and
happiness which millions have
found in the most rapidly
spreading Faith in religious his-
tory.

The Baha'l World Faith is a
new, independent universal re-
ligion, whose goal is to revitalize
mankind splriutaily. it is a prac-
tical spiritual religion with the
mission of uniting the world in
one common faith and order.

The word "BahaT' comes from
the Founder of the Faith
Baha'u'llah iln Arabic, the Light
or Glory of God ) , who an-
nounced his mission to the world
in 1863, Baha'ls believe there Is
one God and therefore only one
religion. The unfoldment of re-
ligion from age to age is
called "progressive revelation"
Baha'u'llah being the Messenger
of God in our time.

To show men how to build the
kingdom of God on earth,
Baha'u'llah the Promised One of
all ages, revealed these princi-
ples:

World government based on a
federated structure.

A world court whose decision
would be mandatory.

An international police force
as an arm of world government-
Elimination of all forms of
prejudice.

The equality of men and
women.

An international auxiliary
language to be taught every-
where.

Universal obligatory education

The essential harmony of
science and religion.

The common foundation of
all religions, and the progressive
character of religious revelation.

The Baha'l World Faith is a
religion, a society and a way of

life. These unique communities
encompass all racial, religious,
and cultural backgrounds.
Royalty, scholars and scientists
have embraced it. They invite
you to investigate this Faith and
share in this spiritual adventure.

and college students of color, in

In two world wars. Negro
soldiers were subjugated to harsh
treatment overseas and here in

they were deprived of those
rights and privileges which they
so bravely fought to safeguard.

situation.

Historical records show that
Negro soldiers were continuously

"Miller's Tropic Of
Is Book Worth R

C

ancer

eading

By Joyce Moxley
In the summer of 1961,
'Tropic of Cancer," for years
strictly a black market book was
prmted here in complete unex-
purgated form, and rapidly be-
came a best seller, "Cancer" had
been published in Paris in 1934
which means it was banned from
this country for 27 years. In the
interim between the book's ap-
pearaiice in France and its pub-
lication in America the author,
Henry Miller, was elected to
membership in the American In-
stitute of Arts and Letters and
gained a sizeable underground
fan-club that emerged to the
surface with an enormous in-
crease in number when "Cancer"
was made available to the public
in hard cover and paperback
editions by Grove Press.

Despite a considerable delay
of 27 years, during which the
book had been labeled "obscenrr,"
filthy, "lewd," by the appointed
censors of this country it is now
recognized as a modern Ameri-
can classic and Henry Miller is
compared in stature by our
critics with Melville and Whit-
man, a recognition which must
certainly please him. It's doubt-
ful whether or not the 63- year-
old Mr. Miller is overwhelmed,
having been celebrated as a
great author for years by the
French and most of the other
fine writers around.

Just why. however, was this
famous work of Miller's banned
from publication here for over
a quarter-century? We are told
that the book contains an un-
usual amount of obscene langu-
ageand after reading "Cancer"
we must admit candidly, that it
does. Yet despite the repetitious

gutter-slang employed through-
out the book, the author does
not give us the impression of ex-
cessive preoccupation with sex
that so many other current
writers repell us with in their
books. Anyone who buys "Tropic
of Cancer" to be titillated by
the "sexy" scenes is wasting his
money. There's no titillatlon
here. This book is exactly what
many critics have claimed it to
be a modern classic. It's also a
hilarious comedy, Wliat many
people call obscene in the book
is actually funny. Mr, Miller can
use four-letter words in such a
way that they lose their "nasty"
or "smutty" connotations.

Still, at first glance the
amount and consistency of the
vulgar language used in the book
is shocking and if a reader
allows himself to read only these
words he'll begin to feel cheated
by this "modern classic." What
exactly is this man Miller trying
to prove? He may ask. By turn-
ing to page one he can find the
answer to that question. On the
first page one of "Cancer" Milicr
says, "This is not a book. This
is libel, slander, defamation of
character. This is not a book in
the ordinary sense of the word.
No, this is a prolonged insult,
a gob of spit in the face of Arts,
a kick in the pants to God. Man.
Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty . , .
what you will,"

Tropic of Cancer is about
Miller's life in Paris, a life he
pursued after being unable to
find himself in America. He
found himself so completely in
Prance that everything that had

been hold back erupted wildly in
this his real book.

Its this quality of uninhibited
wildness that gives his book an
alien sound to the uninitiated
reader, and that kept it from
publication so long in the coun-
try he escaped from in order to
write it. The wildness is also
what makes it great and excit-
ing once Miller's contagious
exuberance of words begin to
intoxicate the reader.

Henry Miller is now back in
America again. He makes his
home in Big Sur, California, and
another of his previously banned
books has been published,
"Tropic of Capicorn." The two
"Tropics" are available in most
colleges. Savannah State's li-
brary has "Tropic of Cancer."
Ths books are recommended in
many colleges as classics to stu-
dents, many who have chosen
the "Tropics" as the subject of
their theses.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Oclober. 1962

i^FASHIONS

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, ESQUIRE'S Fashion Director

Wi-itine a column on campus spnrtswcfir is always a pleasure for
me. because of the natural affinity of young men and new ideas.
College men are mo.st ready to experiment with their wardrobes,
and often produce fashion trends that the whole country eventually
follows.

The correct "when and where" of any leisurewear depends on the
degree of formality on your campus, so no hard-and-fast general
rules apply. But there's big fashion news for every campus this
season, and here arc some of the newest ideas in the Fall lineup
of leisurewear,

BRIGHT BOLD JACKETS. ..in Wb

plaid paUerns vie with soft plaid
muted tones in the season's newest
sport jackets. No hedging bets here-
Ihcy're either big and brassy or quiet
and' subdued-but they're all woven
with multi-colored markings in the
plaids. Brown lends the way as the
fashion first color for Fall, turning
the traditional olive to bronze and
the basic gray to tan-gray. They'll be
seen in the natural shoulder, 3-button
models, with either center or side
vents.

A TOUCH OF TWEED... Is as tra-
ditional as football for Fall. Shetland
tweeds in heather tones, and Harris-
type tweeds are on the scene this
year, particularly in brown and other
solid colors. Both the soft-napped
Shetlands and the wiry Harris rough-
surfaced tweeds will naturally be
seen in natural shoulder models.
Some men prefer these rugged-
looking jackets with protective and
decorative leather patches at the
elbows. And don't discount the blazer,
the perennial campus favorite, still
most popular and most correct in-
dark blue flannel. Another "odd
jacket" with a great following is the
corduroy coat, styled this Fall with a
heavy set wale (the ridging of the
cord fabric) in natural tan and
brown shades.

TAKING UP THE SLACK ... in slacks silhouettes this year,

the slim line of tapered, pleatless and beltless styles is definitely
in. Flannels in dark shades of gray, olive and brown will coordinate
with the new jackets, as will the increasingly popular corduroys.
Tan twills remain a big favorite, in both lightweight cotton twill
(chino) and the dressier diagonal weave wool of Cavalry twill.

THE VESTED INTERESTS . . . me

in control on campus. Solid color
bright flannel vests will enrich any
wardrobe, and new vests in plaids,
figures and madder prints brighten
any jacket and slacks combination.
A smart bet is the reversible vest,
with a big plaid on one side to match
your jacket, a solid color flannel that
matches your slacks on the other.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPORT SHIRTS -Look for luxurious batiks
and cotton prints that are soft, dark, and muted in tone ... as
well as Fall versions of the rieb-looking India madras plaids. Solid
color flannels in wool or blends of wool and polyesters are a definite
contribution to colorful campus wear. Also in flannel, and cotton
as well, the season's bright new prints are bold Tartan plaids that
can be worn with solid color slacks and blazers.

IF YOU'RE A PULLOVER PUSH-

OVER . . . take a look at the new
pullovers of soft, medium weight
Shetland wool. Many are saddle-
shoulder styled for roomier fit. Pull-
overs in heavier, bulkier ski styling,
in solids and the traditional ski pat-
terns, will also be on the snowbound
scene. Authentic Regimental colors,
in bright, wide knitwear stripes, are
the pattern news in sweaters this
Fall, You'll see these Regimental
sweaters in both pullover and the
popular rib-knit wool or wool-blend
Cardigans.

THE HOBO HAT . , . is the happiest headgear to come along
in a long time. This go-anj-where leisure hat is simpiv a flat cone
of ultra-soft felt. You can shape or dent this epitome of casualness
to suit your mood, whim, or manic urge, then shove it right around
into something else, perhaps holding vour new crease with a ski
club or fraternity pin.

IHt Hlbn-KIStR RISES ... in popularitv every vear. particu-
larly this Fall, in the campus boot-type in brushed'leatber, with
2-eyeIet lacing. But choose a grained leather, plain toe Blucher
or wing-tip to coordinate with your brown wardrobe for less
relaxed leisurewear,

OUT IN THE COLD?- Next month we'll take up the question of
outerwear for Fall and Winter of 'G2-'G3. and the big issue of
keeping warm, and well-dressed, during those long Saturday after-
noons m the stadium. So long, until then.

nm SHI
OF nil

By Veronica Lynne Owens

Autumn, with all of its obscure
somberness, has brought with its
entrance some of the seasons
mo.st provocative and colorful
syltcs. Contrary to the tenor of
the season, this Fall's fashions
are making their debut in an
array of hues. One of the most
popular pieces of apparel intro-
duced this year is the bold, plaid,
and beautiful "Tartan." What is
it? Whafs it all about? Simply
this, plaid woolen cloth that
originated in the Scottish High-
lands. This season, however, it
migrated to the Western shores
and has become quite a hit.
Blouses, skirts, coats and hats
are vailable at all of the fine
stores in the tartan plaid. This
ultrachic material blends har-
moniously with solids for those
persons that like a contrast. Any
coed would really be a smart
"Lassie" to Include the tartan,
one of Fall's recent imports, in
her wardrobe.

Oddly enough, the tartan is
not the only imported style to
visit our shores this season.
America's fashion experts have
proven to be most susceptable
to the foreign flair for styles this
year. This is verified by another
popular fabric that hails from
India. "Madras" plaid, Madras,
incidentally, is fine woven cloth
that accentuates plaid played
down a bit. All of the madras
plaid Fall cottons are durable,
and versatile little dresses that
are jus t the garments for
autumn's brisk, invigorating
days.

Good things come in three's
this issue. Unfortunately, though,
they won't come to you co-eds
that wait. Especially if you are
anticipating buying outfits from
the latest and most unique
fashion trend in years, Man, oh
man, it's the "little boy look."
Even the most feminine of
"femme fatales" have fallen
head over heels in love with the
boys , . . look, that is.

Because of the popular "little
boy look." this season's co-eds
can get away with wearing
boyish bermudas, knickerbockers,
hipster pants. Navy jackets,
extra-large bulky pullovers,
skully caps, vests (complete with
gold-chained watch), honest to
goodness ties, and fellows, just

In this same realm of "boy-

landed in England and sent the
jaunty, British male look to the
fashion game American co-eds.
Esquire checks and herringbone
tweed materials lose their look
of total masculinity when houses
like Mademoiselle Modes include

want to be novel, new, and

boyish styles in your Fall ward-
robe. All it takes is a little in-

You can start it with a tweed
suit (short, roomy jacket, patch

jacket with matching vest, then
mix in an open-throat shirt with
authentic riding hat and boy,

CoUarless Coats Dominate

Men^s Fashions

By C, A. Phillips

It's definitely in, it's way out,
it's crazy but it's swinging. You
know what I mean, the one, the
only, the ever loving collarless
two button cut away "shorter
than short coat." You've seen
several fellows on campus wear-
ing it. This coat can be bought
as a sports coat or as a suit. It
comes in many shades, such as
navy, olive, black, and beige
which is the newer color for fall.
Along with these colors we find
the many desert tone shades,
such as green-leather, blue-
leather, sand or black and gray-
loden.

This coat has natural
shoulders and it's accentuated
with white pearl buttons and the
ever popular lap seam in the

back. This coat is very reason-
able as far as price is concerned

Trousers are tapered more so
than ever this year. The shirt is
still that button down ivy collar,
in solids as well as stripes, India
madras, you know, the shirt that
bleeds, is spreading like wild-
fire over the fashion lights, and
you can get one for your girl
too, just like yours. You know,
make like twins,

I know your wardrobe's got a
pair of tennis cordivans. Italian
casuals and a pair of loafers in
it. It's a must that you have
several ties in the newer shades
for fall.

That's it for now, next issue
we are coming out COLD, in
other words, BIG HEAVY
COATS.

careers and seeking self-im-
provement through education,
are "drawn" by a vision of the
rewards of their efforts. If such
a vision is non-existent or nearly
so. then it is not surprising that
they may be lacking in zeal and
industriousness which is so
necessary in achievement.

Though this is true, this is not
sufficient reason for one of us
to fail to do his best to reach
his potential. Jockie Robinson,
Ralph Bunche and George
Washington Carver had one
thing in common they went
to bat with the odds against
them poverty and a racially
intolerant society. In spite of this
each excelled in his respective
area they jumped the hurdles
placed in their paths by nearly
300 years of tradition and cir-
cumstance-
James Weldon Johnson had
this to say to Negroes regarding
integrity in spite of racial diffi-
culties and discrimination:

". . , I will not allow one
prejudiced person or one million
to blight my life. I will not let
prejudice or any of its attendent
humilities and injustices bear me
down to spiritual defeat. My
inner life is mine, and I shall
defend and maintain its in-
tegrity against all the powers
of hell."

Most of us who come to study
here at Savannah State received

inferior high school training,
which, for the most part, can be
attributed to existing social and
economic conditions. In spite of
these disadvantages, we must
have an awareness of our
responsibilities. We form the core
of leadership of our people and
also our nation. We must be pre-
pared to contribute significantly
in all areas of endeavor. So that
we may be more qualified to ful-
fill the roles assigned to us, we
must first realize that we are
behind in the race and that the
only way that we will gain for
ourselves those materials, rights.
and privileges taken for granted
by most Americans is for us to
run night and day and move on
irrespressibly toward those goals
which we have set.

Ours is not a trifling task,
nor will our goals be achieved
hastily. The aboUtion of dis-
criminatory laws and customs
will only provide Savannah State
students and other Negroes
with the opportunity to PRO-
VIDE FOR OURSELVES those
fruits produced by a democratic
society and an almost fantastic
technological age, Negroes wil!
be thought of as Negroes first
and individuals last for a long
time to come. We must be mind-
ful of the fact that our group
must develop a greater amount
of economic vitality if we are to
progress In the future.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Page 5

By Therman Thomas
Sports Editor

All of the home games of the
Savannah State football and
basketball teams will be played
on the campus this year. Last
year the team played in the
city's ultra-modern Bacon Park
Memorial Stadium^quite a con-
trast to the SSC athletic field.

Of course It would be kind of
ridiculous to play the games out
at Bacon Park and only a hand-
ful of students and supporters
sliow up to root for the Tigers.
Savannahians will support foot-
ball if it is pretty good football.
The large attendance at local
high school games will bear this
out. Most of the spectators aren't
students, either,

If Savannaii State would field
a team of the Southern U.,
Grambiing. FAMU or A&T Col-
lege calibre, then football could
become a money-making propo-
sition for the school. Some peo-
ple say that they'd rather watch
a game on TV than one of the
Tiger's grid contests.

You can bet your bottom
dollar that the bothersome sand
gnats won't complain about the
games being played on campus.
They'll have a field day every
time.

If any game should be played
at Bacon Park then the home-
coming game should. The half-
time activities, the fact that we
will have many distinguished
guests and alumni present and
the large contingent of Clark
fans wiio will follow their team,
warrant the use of the city's
facilities rather than the SSC
athletic field at least for that
one game. If we use "Tiger's
Field" then the large homecom-
ing crowd might not be as large
next year at homecoming time.

Bobby Mitchell Spearheads
Redskins

Bobby Mitchell, the Cleveland
Brown cast-away half back, has
put new life into the Washing-
ton Redskins football team.
Chiefly through Mitchell's superb
ball-carrying, the 'Skins' are
sitting on top of the NFL's East-
ern Division with a respectable
4-1-2 record. One of these wins
came at the expense of his
former team, the Cleveland
Browns.

For the past several years Sa-
vannah State has been missing
out on local football talent. The
three local high schools have
produced two state champs in
years past and also some top
football players. Players like
Solomon Brannen, James Ger-
man, James Palmer and Eddie
Fennell played at Tompkins and
are now playing at Morris Brown
in Atlanta, Henry Kelley who
graduated from Beach and
played at Johnson C. Smith Univ.
Freddie Woodson, Johnny
Holmes and Capt Burney Adams
were all high school standouts
who were picked up by Florida
A & M University after they
finished their high school
careers.

All of the above players ex-
pressed a desire to attend Savan-
nah State at one time or
another, but for some unknown
reason they all got away.

SSC Cagers Begin
Pre-Seasou Drills

The 1962-63 Tigers basketball
team has already started pre-
season drills.

Although the Tigers lost five
lettermen from last year's team,
the locals are expected to hold
their position atop their confer-
ence and other basketball circles
in this area.

Gone are the nationally known
five "sizzling seniors," The
quintet, composed of Redell Wal-
ton. Ira Jackson, Steve Kelley.
Willie Tate, and James Dixon
racked up a total of 103 wins
against 29 set-backs in a period
of four years. Missing also will
be Theodore Wright who has
decided he will watch from the
stands after 27 years of coaching.

But the story is not all gloomy
The Tigers still have center
Johnny Mathis who averaged U
points per game last year as a
substitute, Mathis is expected to
shoulder most of the offensive
and defensive play for the

ers are Harvey Bailey, who has

After dropping two games in

ing week Savannah State
bounced back to whip Benedict
College 22-14 in a highly-spirited
contest at the SSC athletic field.

One would have to look twice
or possibly three times to see
whether or not these were the
same Tigers who represented Sa-

Benedict took the lead in the
second quarter when Charles

Robert Saxby tackled Henry
Chandler behind the Benedict
goal line for a safety. The half

ended with a 6-2 count In favor
of Benedict.

third quarter and saw pay dirt

pleted an aerial to Robert Saxby.
In the last quarter Pratt con-
nected with Herschel Robinson

minutes later Fred Meyers
caught one of Pratt's passes to
give the locals a 20-6 lead in the
contest.

With over half of the fourth
quarter over, Benedict's Charles

ple predicted that it would be a
quick one. but most boxing ex-
perts said that fans at ringside
in Chicago and those watching
on closed-circuit TV should see
at least four or five rounds of
boxing for their money. Listen's
smashing punching demoted
Floyd from the rank of a lightly-
taken heavyweight champ to
that of a former heavyweight
titleholder even more lightly-
taken.

When Floyd was knocked out
by Ingemar Johannsen in his
first bout with the Swede, there
was the question of Floyd under-
rating his opponent. This wasn't
the case with Sonny. Although
sportswriters predicted the
champ would probably retain
his crown, the odds-makers
picked Liston as the best bet.
Patterson did not take this bout
as just another prize-fight he
trained for it. If you listen
closely enough you may hear
someone say that Floyd was too
tense and that he will be the
first man to win it back twice.

The two fighters somewhat
resembled David and Goliath,

that felled Floyd like a rock.

Physical Educttlion Majors
Participate in Fitness Program

By Elmer Thomas

Twenty physical education
majors at Savannah State Col-
lege are engaged in a "pilot
study'" physical fitness program.

Participation in the program
by Savannah State has prompted
the American Association of
Health. P. Ed, and Recreation
to present to the college a Cer-
tificate of Recognition for the
role played so far in the project.
This group, the AAHP & R, is a
division of the National Educa-
tion Association.

The twenty students have be-
gun the test and upon com-
pletion they will serve as in-
structors and assist in adminis-
tering the test to other college
students. The testing program
has been officially adopted and
recommended by President Ken-
nedy's Council on Youth Fitness
and is especially usable for the
screening of individual weak-
nesses, evaluation of program
quality, and periodic testing of
Individuals for progress. The
battery of tests consists of pull-
ups for men and modified pull-
ups for women, sit-ups, shuttle
run, stand broad jump. 50 yard
dash, Softball throw for distance,
and the 600 yard run-walk.

In the aquatics test, the sub-

The demands on the limited
funds for student financial aid
in an institution as large as Sa-
vannah State College are neces-
sarily heavy. Therefore, financial
aid can be granted only to those
students of sound moral char-
acter who are doing highly
creditable work in high school
or in tlie college and who can-
not continue their education
without some type of financial
aid.

The Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia
Sponsors a program whereby
Georgia residents may qualify
for scholarships at any one of
the institutions of higlier edu-
cation within the University
System, These scholarships were
established for the purpose of
assisting students of superior
ability who need financial aid
in order to attend college. Each
college handles Its own applica-
tions and the scholarship pro-
gram is administered by each
college in accordance with
policies established by the Board
of Regents.

Regents' State Scholarships
are granted on a one year basis.
A recipient may re-apply in suc-
ceeding years provided he re-
mains academically qualified,
has continuing need, and the
program continues to be ade-
quately financed.

Recipients of Regents' State
Scholarships are expected, upon
completion of their programs of
study, to reside in the State of
Georgia and to engage in work
for which they were prepared
through scholarship aid for a
period of one year for each
$1,000.00 of scholarship aid re-
ceived. Recipients of Regents'
State Scholarships who fail to
comply with this requirement
will be obligated to repay the
amount of scholarships that they
received together with interest
at the rate of 3% per annum
from the date of scholarship
awards.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Our School Spirit Could Be Better

Although there may be room
for criticism of the Savannah
State College football team, they
are representative of our school
and should receive the en-
couragement and support of the
entire college family, While it is
not customry for this newspaper
to editorialize on the athletic
program here, we feel that with
the basketball season about to
begin, and in view of the fact
that the team, for the most part,
will be made up of players who
are relatively unseasoned, and
giving due respect to the
opinions and predictions of
qualified observers, we solicit the
support of each student whether
our team meets victory or defeat.
Performances of our basketball
team this season may not be as
brilliant as in past years.

It seems also that the attitude
and interest of students in other
phases of student life is far from
being desirable. To cite particu-
lar instances where this is
noticeable, we would not have to
go beyond the confines of this
publication's newsroom. Students
and student organizations are
usually concerned with getting
news releases published, but not
to the extent that they will sub-
mit information before each

deadline. Although an organiza-
tion may be last to release news
items to this newspaper, that
same organization is usually first
to criticize this paper for not
Including its articles in the pub-
lication. There is room for more
co-operation along these lines.

More regards should be given
to OUR COLLEGE LIBRARY and
OUR library materials. Under no
circumstances should a student
destroy or steal library material.
We should remember that a
copying service is available in
the library at a low cost. Every
dollar spent to replace books is
a dollar that could have been
spent to purchase new books.

We cannot stop with the stu-
dents. In some cases administra-
tors and faculty members them-
selves are guilty of possessing an
indifferent attitude toward stu-
dents and what they may be at-
tempting to do. Perhaps the at-
titudes of students and teachers
are resultant or partially result-
ant of each other, but even so,
we should take the necessary
steps to remedy this situation
within and among ourselves. If
this happens, the work of both
student and professor would cer-
tainly become more profitable
and enjoyable.

WliislliiiQ Against \ Strong Wind

Attorney Leroy R. Johnson, of
Atlanta, will be the first Negro
to sit in the Georgia Senate since
reconstruction days. Johnson
won the Democratic nomination
of the 38th District when he de-
feated four white candidates
who opposed him. Officials of
the Democratic Party were en-
joined from conducting the
Senate Primary on a county-
wide basis as propiised by the
General Assembly.

In the General Election of
November 6. another Negro, T.
M, Alexander, also from Atlanta,
opposed Johnson unsuccessfully,
and Johnson was assured a seat
in the 54-member Senate.

Johnson as a member of the
Georgia Senate will not change
the course of politics in this state
significantly insofar as legisla-
tion is concerned, but at least
his election might be the start-
ing point of an era of greater
representation by Negroes on
school boards, city council and

other bodies. It seems that the
Board of Regents of the Univer-
sity System of Georgia should
have some Negro members.

Without the bloc-vote, scan-
dalized and criticized by those
who fear the potential political
might of Negroes, neither John-
son nor the Republican Alex-
ander would have been in the
race. An example of bloc-voting
in reverse is the flocking of white
voters to the polls in August of
1961 to defeat a Negro candidate
for the position of Clerk of
Superior Court of Chatham
County, Georgia,

Any student at Savannah
State College who is not regis-
tered to vote in his or her home
county, and who does not vote
in each and every election siiould
remove himself from this insti-
tution or remedy the situation
because he has failed in one of
the primary objective of his edu-
cational preparation, which is
specifically, to become an en-
lightened citizen.

Ban the Books or
Ban the Ban

lACPi Deluged with letters
to the editor. THE OHIO UNI-
VERSITY POST, Athens, ex-
panded on its editorial position
concerning book banning:

Athens has what could be a
very powerful publication ordi-
nance which prohibits anyone
from having or selling any
literature which Is obscene.

The ordinance went Into effect
in March. 1961, but the only time
it has been enforced was to keep
"Tropic of Cancer" off the news-
stands a year ago.

Editor's Note: A review of
author Henry Miller's "Tropic of
Cancer" appeared in the October
edition of the Tiger's Roar.

Our argument is that there
are many obscene paperbacks
being sold on at least two news-
stands in Athens, and yet no
attempt has been make by the
police to ban these books.

This, in effect, means that the
police are acting as censors
whenever they feel something is
obscene. As one letter writer put
it. Police Captain Joseph Mc-
Bride is now in the position to
judge whether a book is litera-
ture or obscenity. No one should
have the power of censorship.

This also means that, as one
letter writer said, the police
could keep "For Whom the Bell
Tolls," "To Kill A Mockingboard"
or any other piece of literature
off the newsstands by simply
calling them obscene.

Thus, Ordinance 1532 could
easily become a tool for the
Athens police to use at will.
Either Athens should enforce the
law all the time or remove it as
an ordinance.

Also many persons have ques-
tioned the POST'S right to call
any literature obscene. Ap-
parently tliese persons have
never read the contents of the
paperbacks we listed.

We challenge anyone to find
any value, literary or otherwise,
in "Wild Flesh," "Shroud." "Any-
thing for Kicks," or "Violent
Surrender."

Pi-ecocious writers are rare;
precocity in the arts is usually
found in musicians, mainly be-
cause to write intelligently one
must have had some experience
with life. The feeling for music
is a more direct and primitive
perception than the feeling for
words which usually comes only
after some maturity, when one is
sophisticated enough to relate
living experience to one's par-
ticuar language.

Yet in the last decade or so,
it seems the young writer who
is both published and talented
is becoming more prevalent.
Reasons for this can perhaps be
found in the great emphasis our
culture places on youth and the
early initiation of young people
into the ways of adult life.

The vogue of the young writer
first came to my attention
several years ago when I read in
a national magazine about a
French girl, barely eighteen, who
had written a book, Bonjour
Triestesse, iGood Morning. Sad-
ness) which had become "an
instantaneous best-seller on both
sides of the Atlantic." This
novelette ( about 128 pages )
proved to be nearly everything
the reviews claimed. "Shocking,
amoral," yet "brilliant, sensi-
tive," it remained only for
Mil. Sagan to write a slightly
bigger and better book to
consolidate her position as
an important literary figure.
Another book did appear shortly.
A Certain Smile was not a bigger
or better book, but still it wasn't

a disappointment. The heroine
of Bonjour. Cecile, became Domi-
nique, heroine of A Certain
Smile, with little change in
character or charm except for a
slight increase of cynicism, and
once again Mile. Sagan suc-
ceeded in giving what might
have seemed puerile adventures
depth and humour.

It seemed her forte lay just
in the limitations that she had
imposed upon herself the
novelette literary form and the
first person narrative. In a few
brief chapters she was able to
achieve her best effects; the
themes of physical love and
pleasure that she based her
works upon were too slender to
support longer works, and the
candid musings of her gamln-
like heroines had more intrigue
wlien expressed in the first per-
son, "I would rather deny myself
my moods of mysticism or
despair than give up my in-
dulgencies." (Bonjour Tristesse.)
Readers of Sagan looked for-
ward to the gradual expansion
of her adolescent heroines into
mature characters; it seemed
possible that her precocious, per-
ceptive power would enable her
to develop into a major literary
influence.

Her third novel appeared,
Those Without Shadows, in
which the author did away with
the first-person narrative, sub-
stituting a collection of vaguely
dicpicated characters in a brief
(Canlimied on I'nge H)

that, he decided to try and get
it for himself.

We must try and obtain things
for ourselves too. We as college
students must be sure that the
degree or degrees we receive are
meaningful to the extent that
we are reasonably proficient in
our chosen areas of concentra-
tion and have at least a genera!
knowledge of the world about us.
As we set our eyes on the up-
hill road ahead, we can see that
it Is quite different from the
almost - level, happy - go - lucky
path over which we have already
trod, Competition for employ-
ment is, and will be moreso in
the future, increasingly keener
in all fields. Colleges and uni-
versities are turning out gradu-
ates in record numbers. Althougli
it appears that government and
industry are able to absorb more
engineers and scientists than
are available, and giving due
consideration to the fact that
'there's always room for a good
man in any field," the supply ol
average, below - average, and
absolutely incompetent person.-
is so large that any person who
insists on joining these rank.s
can only be guaranteed a very
small slice of the economic pie,
if any at all.

The teaching profession, in
which so many of our graduates
are employed, won't be as easy to
enter in the future as in years
past. A certain score on the
National Teachers Examination
is a requirement for employment
in Florida Schools. Most colleges
stipulate that their candidates
for graduation make a certain
mark on similar examinations if
tliey are to receive a degree.
Teaching and administrative
jobs on the high school and col-
lege level will carry bigger
salaries and more advantages In
the future because education to-
morrow will have to do more to
compete with government and
industry for the well-trained and
competent. If one can live in
Georgia cheaper than In Indiana
(all factors considered) and if
Indiana ranks as one of our
leading states educationally,
then an average teacher from
that state might be in contention
for the same teaching assign-
ment for which you may apply.
If this be the case, how would
you rate scholastically with a
graduate of Michigan State or
Indiana University?

The only thing we can do is
spend more time in serious study
rather than cheating ourselves
of the educational advantages
provided for us here. We are at
a disadvantage in more ways
than one and this is no time for
complacency. We should com-
plain about our situation when
this becomes necessary, but at
the same time we must move
forward on our own INERTIA.

Some men are like pyramids,
which are very broad where they
touch the ground, but grow
narrow as they reach the sky.

Campus Spotlight

By Gwendolyn Buchanan

The spotlight of this edition
of the Tiger's Roar is focused on
the following personalities at
Savannah State College.

Delores Bowens, the first of
these personalities, is a graduate
of Monitor High School in her
home town, Fitzgerald. Georgia.
She is current-
ly a Junior at
Savannah
State College,
majoring i n
Mathematics.

She is affili-
ated with the
following ac-
tivities: the College Band, Alpha
Kappa Mu Tutorial Society, and
the Yearbook Staff. She serves
as secretary of the Junior Class.
Her associates think of her as
an ideal co-ed. an intelligent
young lady that has a promising
future.

She is a charming and soft
spoken person whose personal
philosophy is "Treat others with
respect if you want to be
respected."

Some persons tend to take life
as it comes or think of life as a
routine. Delores has a different
opinion of life, "I think that life
is just what a person makes it.
It can be full and fruitful, drab
wonderful experiences or it can
be as incomplete as a half built
house."

I asked Delores about her
opinion of men in general. She
paused laughed and said.
"Men are changeable, sometime
true, many times untrue, sincere,
stubborn, boring and fun; yet
with so many fallacies, men are
wonderful."

the plot.

Although Brahms seems much
too contrived and artificial as a
whole, it still succeeds in being
entertaining and at times one is
surprised by a wholly originial

work of Mile. Sagan. One can

good book, but one can't help

Her favorite relaxation is
listening to music. She likes to
create dances and is always
willing to teach her new steps

A Touch ol" Mink Adds
Distinction And Elegance

By Veronica Lynne Owens
Whether you say I'hiver. der
winter, or elinvlerno, winter is
definitely here! And fur is
definitely the thing to be worn
this winter. The most popular
fur pieces being worn are mink,
chinchilla, ermine, fox, beaver,
and raccoon- This season fur
pieces adorn dressy coats, sport
coats, suits and jackets- And to
top It off hats are even being
shown in fur material with
matching hand muffs. Mink and
imitations of it are even daintily
attached to after-five dresses to
add a "touch of elegance."

Another new but popular
fashion trend this winter is the
vest. Some designers tab them
weskits. Regardless of what you
call them, they're smart, col-
legiate, and saucy. The popular
vests are being stiown in leather.
Velveteen, suede and, of course.
various woolen and corduroy
fabrics. These smart little vests
should be a "must" on every
coed's fashion list this winter.
Why? Because they're guaran-
teed by designers to add zest,
zing, and zip to any wardrobe.
Other fashion apparel that
rate high this winter are the
coordinate sets. Lovely as always,

these coordinates come In
various dyed-to-match colors.
They are just about the most
versatile items on the fashion
list. Those of you with a flair for
blending will like the matched
coordinates. And those that have
a yen for contrast may mix
either part of the original set
with other wearing apparel. The
latest coordinates are rather
snazzy with their unique "in-
tarsia" designs. Whatever your
choice may be, you're in for a
fabulous wardrobe if your
fashion choice happens to be co-
ordinates sets. These sets arc
available in wool, orlon, angora,
and mohair. A mix or match
switch gives you a new outfit.
presto!

Many outfits for the busy col-
lege coed have been shown in
suede material this winter. The
most popular in the group are
full-length coats, blazers, hand-
bags, jumper dresses and belts.
But wait, that isn't all. Those
of you inclined to be a wee bit
individualistic and different will
simply adore the suede earbobs
and bracelets to match your out-
fits. By whom? Why Core, and
Trifari, naturally, - - .

Accessories of the month:
Headbands (cloth and leather),

Leaves of Gold (exquisite pins
by Coro and Trifari).

Yes, this winter's "fashion-
logue" seems to be just what the
coed ordered. But the next
colunm promises to present some
even more desirable and appeal-
ing styles. So. until the next
issue all ye fashion-conscious
ones. I remain very "FASHION-
ABLY YOURS"!

Ill Defense of the
(iiaiil Handhag

By Gwendolyn Buchanan

A young lady walked into a
variety store to purchase a very
necessary article. She reached
into her handbag for her change
purse. She knew that it was in
there, but she just couldn't put
her hands on It. She began to
search through the maze of col-
lected Items in the purse. She
fumbled through the "junk" for
more than five minutes. Out
came lipstick, shades, hanker-
chief, pointless pencil, nail
polish, lotion, powder sponge,
bobby pins, and at last the
cliange purse.

There's a young lady seated
in class waiting very nervously
to take an examination. She had
begun to relax before the in-
structor, while passing out exam
papers, stumbled over the long,
black bag In the aisle.

Fellows are usually gentlemen.
They'll twist an ankle running to
open a door for a lady with one
hand full of books. Often they
are almost knocked off their feet
by the swaying bag That's the
thanks they get.

These experiences are prob-
ably familiar to iftost young
ladies.

I Imagine fellows wonder why
girls won't carry smaller bags.
The smaller bags occupy less
space; they are easier to carry,
and as In the case of the
stumbling professor, they are
less hazardous.

Well fellows, Its like this. A
lady could hardly go armed
against any eventuality (almost
any eventuality) with a "load-
llmlted" two-by-four handbag.
There are times when a girl may
need a personal item such as a
tube of hand cream, lipstick,
bobby pins or lotion. Such "ex-
tensive equipment" calls for a
bag with a reasonably large
capacity.

The average bag usually
weighs less than three pounds
even when Its loaded,

So the next time you feel prone
to issue one of your wisecracks
about using women in the
weightlifting competition In the
1964 Olympic Games think
twice because they (hand-
bags) might not be so heavy
after all.

C'est La Vie

By Veronica Lynne Owens
Behold the Sun, fluorescent ball,
The glow it cast on Thee;
But, then the rain begins to fall
Like snowflakes, C'est La Vie.

You pluck the hyacinth from the

earth.
And whilst you set it free;
A thorn erases all your mirth
And merriment, C'est La Vie.

How calm the sea is on this eve.
Sailing would be heavenly;
But. then rip tides begin to

heave
And roar, C'est La Vie.

Must always Sun and Sea and

Fleurs
Escape one's grasp for wrath?
One scarcely ever pleasure has
For vlsioning the aftermath,

Ah( Life is roses moved with
briars, lilies, all three . . .

"C'est la vie, C'est la vie,
C'est la vie!"

To be capable of respect is
almost as rare as to be worthy

CLUB

CAMPUS

FASHIONS

BY O. E. SCHOEFFLER,
ESQUIRE'S Fashion Director

When thatwintry wind whistles across the campus or through the
stadium, there's no iicecl for you to get that left-out-in-the-cold
feeling. Your new outerwear, your "fashion front" in Fall and
Winter, can be both warm and fashionable.

Fashions in outerwear, particularly those styled for campus, are
more functional and individually styled than many other areas
of a man's wardrobe-and this year's new coats are no exception
to that glittering generality.

PILING UP POINTS ... in

popularity, new pile linings, usually
of fur-like acrylic fibers, provide ex-
cellent light insulation with a lofty,
comfortable feel. They're covered by
single-breasted shells of processed
Dacron and cotton. Knee-length Sta-
dium Coats, with button fronts and
large pockets, come in poplin or
gabardine weaves (smooth, close-
woven fabrics). A removable hood
for blustery days completes the pic-
ture of fashion and warmth.

SALT SEA SPRAY . . . was

the test for the rugged, dark-blue
denim coat. Adapted from a classic
boating jacket, this climate-control-
ler is of water-repellent, processed
denim, with a brilliant scarlet lining
for warmth. Masculine metal hooks
and rings across the front shut out
the icy blasts, yet set-in sleeve and
front-yoke styling keeps this wea-
therproof roomy even when hooked
right up to the military collar and
center-zippered hood. Utility is
server! with generous, almost over-
sized patch pockets.

ROOM TO SPARE ... is the lieynote of the Duffel Coat,
this season's comeback favorite. Toggle rope closures are the dis-
tinctive trademark of this large and bulky coat, and you'll see it in
tan and camel's hair tones of brown-this Fall's fashion first color.
This above-the-knee coat is warm, practical, and ideal for campus
and stadium wear.

SCHUSS FUSS . . . Young men on skis have made skiwear
fashion news on campus. And new this year are zippered jackets
in just-below-the-waist ski styles. They're quilted for warmth,
and faced with water-repellent nylon and processed cotton. Solids
in olive, black, tan and navy will be the most popular colors, and
some models will feature detachable hoods.

BLACK AND WHITE ...con
trast is the word for rainwear colors
this Fall. Raincoats will be seen
either in natural tan or off-white, or
in very dark olive or black, Raglan
styling and 40" lengths are most pop-
ular, particularly among yoimger
men. and zip-in linings make these
campus favorites a good het well into
Winter. A bright new idea worth a
second look from the daring young
man is the patterned raincoat, seen
for the first time this year in muted
plaids.

HUNG BY THE NECK. . . of

many college men this year will be
the popular long, flowing muffler. It
will most usually be seen in broad, 3"
stripes of college colors, or in bright,
bold solids.

THE MAILED FIST, .is not
as husky and masculine looking as
this Fall's new gloves. The sportscar
set has given us the knitted wool
glove, usually in tan or light olive.
with a sure-gripping tan pigskin
palm. Tan and black pigskin shells
will also be seen with liners of knit-
ted wool in matching colors. And the
Shearling-type glove remains a
standard in every man's wardrobe.
These thick, husky grippers are sim-
ply made of skin-suede leather, with
the fur turned to the inside of the
glove.

CHROME STRIPPING AND FOX TAILS . . . are not

what we mean by acjc-^surius. You can find out what we do mean-
and what little touches the well-dressed man can add to his ward-
robe-next month. I hope to see you then, right here.

1 Tlianksc
Bc'*iiiii During
Biblical Times

By Fredla Brewton

Mr. Benjamin F. Lewis, who
spoke on the Pre-Thanksgiving
Program at Savannah State Col-
lege on November 18. said that
the observance of Thanksgiving
can be traced further back than
the first such celebration by the
Pilgrims in America. He stated
that the Greeks had their special
day of thanksgiving, even thougti
it may have been quite different
from ours.

The speaker commented on
the death of the originator of
the prc-Thanksgiving Service at
Savannah State, the late Rev.
A. E, Peacock,

In his speech. Mr. Lewis urged
all Americans to be thankful for
freedom and heritage and said
that Negroes as a race should be
tliankful for such great men as
Booker T. Washington, Abraham
Lincoln, George Washington
Carver, and more recently, James
Meredith.

He concluded by saying, "We
have much to be thankful for.
God can use us in the ministry
of his word, even though we may
not be highly educated or dis-
tinguished."

Editorial Comments

The holiday season will be niJed with celebration and joy-
making, Oui- homes will be decorated appropiiately. Few of us will
be lacking adequate food, shelter or clothing.

But several hundred miles to the south of us. men are not so
fortunate. Several thousands of miles to the east and west of us.
men still hunger for what is supposed to be an inherent right of
all hujuanity freedom and liberty-

Perhaps right down the street from you. maybe next door, there
live those who are materially depraved. There is a family of "have-
nots." the head of which earns a good salary at the plant, or post
office, or as a truck driver, but somewhere between his place of
employment on payday he makes a check-sapping stop There are
the slums. They breed crime and disease.

Twenty miles from Savannah, Valdosta. Macon or Brunswick,
there is the Ignorant tenant farmer applying 18th century farming
techniques in an era of 20th century agriculture. There "are those
who are born blind, crippled or feeble-minded. Perhaps they are
shown more pity than the rest since the odds were against them
from the start.

We send thousands of youths, along with more mature persons,
to the south of us. to the east and west of us. hoping that their
presence will gain the friendship of foreign peoples to prevent or
halt Communistic exploit^but more important, to save our own
necks. This is good diplomacy. From all indications it's working.

But What about down the street, or next door? Or in the hills
and on the plains of Georgia?

Satisfactory, or nearly so. programs for care of the aged, blind,
crippled, and feeble-minded are in operation. No one will complain
about the use of his involuntary contribution to that big com-
munity drive for that purpose, but what about the oversized family
m the next block? . . . Why should part of your hard-earned money
be handed out to those who are not honestly trying to make a living
for themselves?

Ask yourself the following question: "Why must a teacher
hammer information into the heads of members of a freshman
class when he knows that the vast majority of them will not stay
in college long enough to graduate, and of those left, only one or

West Point
Professor on "Meet
The Professor"

A West Point graduate teaches
political science to cadets at the
United States Military Academy
on '-MEET THE PROFESSOR"
this week. The professor is
Colonel Amos A. Jordan. Jr..
deputy head of the Department
of Social Sciences and member
of the Army's elite Corps of Pro-
fessors.

The ABC-TV network telecasts
-MEET THE PROFESSOR" Sun-
day, December 16th, at 1:30 p.m.
'EST). A radio adaptation of the
program will be heard on ABC
radio stations the following Sun-
day iDecember 23rdi at 3;00 p.m.
(EST). (Consult station sched-
ules for accurate local times.)

Colonel Jordan believes it is
vital that future Army officers
have a broad understanding of
the political and economic prob-
lems of foreign countries. He de-
signed the course in "Problems
of the Developing Nations."
which the Academy added to its
curriculum last year. In addition
to reading and discussing the
material, the students hear lec-
tures by visiting authorities and
have frequent contact with for-
eign students. This gives the
cadets insight into the political
systems of the developing na-
tions in Asia, Africa, and Latin
America. Colonel Jordan will be
seen conducting a class of cadets
in the developing nations course
on the program.

Colonel Jordan is also charged
with the administration of a
unique project called SCUSA
(Student Conference on United
States Affairs) which brings
about two hundred students
from other colleges and univer-

sities to West Point each year
for three-and-a-half days. The
program gives the students the
opportunity to participate in
stimulating round-table discus-
sions and to hear talks by out-
standing statesmen. The Honor-
able Dean Acheson, who keynotes
SCUSA this year, will appear jn
1 h ;s context on "MEET TH3
PROFESSOR."

A native of Heyburn, Idaho.
Colonel Jordan attended Idaho
Slate College, earned his B.3.
degree at the United States Mili-
tary Academy, received his M.A.
degree at Oxford University and
took his doctorate at Columbia
University. Prior to his appoini-
ment as Professor at the Acade-
my in 1955, he served in the field
as Artillery Battery Commander.
Assistant 8-3. 7th Division
Artillery. He is the author of
Foreign Aid and the Defense of
Southeast Asia, published by
Praeger this year, and other
works.

Could It be because the teacher couldn't or didn't have the
opportunity to separate the "Doers" from the "Do-nothings"' This
cou d be the answer. Some of the people who received a small per-
centage of your resources could turn out to be good citizens One or
two of them might turn out to be quite outstanding. Maybe its
worth It. Maybe the Peace Corps program will be worth the money
and time.

Students from Savannah State along with those from high
schools could form a domestic task toi-ce here, and go through the
streets of Savannah instructing the ignorant and counseling the
doubtful. They could arrange a program of out-of-class help tor
junior high and high school students. Such action might induce
more high school graduates to come to college. Such a program
could graw in magnitude and proportion throughout this state
and nation.

Let us resolve to do something of this nature during 1963 and
if we meet any degree of success, next year this time we can feel
proud of having made a noteworthy and significant contribution to
our fellowman and ourselves.

How to Avoid That
[lu-istmas Tie-Up

Many people could turn out
sinarter-looking Christmas pack-
ages in far less time than they
now require simply by avoiding
the mistakes that have many
Einateurs tied up in knots.

Five of the most common goofs
have been pinpointed by Mary
Papp. who designs many of the
Satin Glo ribbons and Trophy
gift wrappings sold in variety
scores across the country- See
how her wrap-up of errors tallies
v,-ith yours!

Not organizing the job. Failing
to collect all gift wrap materials
in one spot a smooth solid sur-
face with plenty of working
space will result in frazzled
nerves as well as frayed ribbons.
Before you begin, stock your
work area with: gift papers,
tissue paper and perhaps some
cardboard, ribbons, gift tags and
any ornaments you plan to use.
"sticky stuff i tape, sealing
cement or seals), sharp scissors.
Not "measurine: up." Don't
wait till wrapping day to find
out that your gift paper won't
i-over big packages. Buy "insur-
ance" ahead of time. Wary of
skimpy-looking packages, people
often use more paper than they
need not realizing that they are
creating an equally ungainly
effect, especially at the corners.
Always measure the paper before
cutting. Allow enough so that
the width of the gift wrap will
overlap the package by no more
than an inch. The ends should
extend to just slightly more than
half its thickness.

Using the wrong wrapping
technique. Avoid a sloppy,
amateurish look by centering
the paper design on the front of
the box, and fastening the paper
at the back. To make a clean
edge, fold the overlapping end in
about half an inch. Fold each
aide of the ends in neat creases
at the edges of the box, then
fold in flaps at top and bottom
of the box.

Picking the wrong wrappings.
The gift paper you use is a big

factor in the all-important "first
impression" your gift makes.
Don't skimp on quality, but
don't feel that you have to spend
a fortune; some of the best-
grade gift wraps are sold in
variety stores. An embossed de-
sign lends distinction to a 'solid-
color wrap.

When choosing patterns, keep
both the giftee and the gift in
mind: don't put a big pattern
on a small package, and don't
use a dainty design for a man's
gift. Something like Trophy or
Excello Brand print, definite
without being gaudy, would look
well on most packages.

Don't pick a ribbon the same
color as the dominant color in
the paper. Instead, match the
ribbon to another color in the
paper design.

Getting lied up in knots with
bows. Want a really profes-
sional-looking bow? Buy one!
Stick-on bows in numerous
beautiful versions are avilable in
variety stores; Satin Glo makes
some in geometric flower-like
designs.

If you're in a do-it-yourself
mood, here's a pretty way to tie
a fancy bow. First make a loop
between the thumb and first
finger, keeping the ribbon flat.
A second loop is made by bring-
ing the ribbon from the opposite
side. Additional loops can be
made the same way and tied in
the middle to form a multiple
bow.

You'll be making no mistake
if you follow Miss Rapp's sug-
gestions for some imaginative
"extras" that will really wrap up
your reputation as a smooth
Santa. For instance: to a lady's
package, attach a holiday
corsage that can be worn after-
wards. At the dime store, you
can buy ribbon clusters that
make lovely seasonal corsages.
worn just "as is." Kids will ap-
preciate tie-on toys from the
dime store. Many stick-on bows
come with miniature decorations
already attached: pipes for the
menfolk, dolls for the ladies big
and little, miniature Christmas
symbols for one and all.

As a co.mplete departure, you
might want to forego the tradi-
tional ribbon to bind a few
packages with gay colored yarns
with pasted-on rickrack
braid ... or even with a strip of
handsome wallpaper!

But be sure there are no
strings attached for if you've
done a good job. the eager re-
cipient of your prize package
may not be able to heed a "Don't
Open Till Christmas" warning!

PRESIDENT'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

The celebration of Christinas is well established in the life oE
all Ameiicans- It is unique in many ways. No other occasion
furnishes the potential for good during the entire year. It is at
this time that the thought of others over-rides many of the selfish
interests which dominate other parts of the year. No other oc-
casion contributes so much to family life and the rejuvenation of
values developed within the home.

Students will be making their way home with memories and
anticipations that gladden each heart according to the respective
homes from which they come. Christmas to the college student
provides opportunity for thinlting, planning, and evaluation. During
this recess from college, students often secure work to help pay
expenses for the remainder of the school year. In other Instances,
there is spare time which may be utilized to Improve one's knowledge
and understanding of subject matter areas which have been or
are to be covered during the school year. Many of them read books,
write papers, continue experiments, and travel. The reunions with
families and friends will be assigned only a part of this extra
time. The purposes and plans which students have developed for
themselves will receive additional implementation. The continuous
inquires of friends and loved ones concerning one's progress and
his plans for the future keep the student ever aware that much is
expected of him. Parents, relatives, and friends express in many
ways their faith in each student to succeed in the studies and pro-
gram of education which he has elected to pursue.

The celebration of Christmas for 1962 provides the basis for
heartfelt thanks as one thinks of national and world conditions. Only
through the realization of the meaning of Christ does our civilization
continue to exist. There is further hope that through Him civiliza-
tion can continue to exist and make progress. The men and women
enrolled In our colleges and universities are faced with the challenge
to initiate to Inspire, and to develop the mind and will of the
modern world to overcome the barriers which threaten the civiliza-
tions of our world and time.

The tradition of giving gifts at Christmas dates back to the
Three Wise Men, who suddenly appeared out of the desert bearing
sold, frankincense and myrrh for the new-born Infant at Jerusalem.
Smce then, the act of givmg has been shrouded in an air of mvsterv
that surrounds both giver and gift, and Christmas gift-givers' have
appeared and disappeared mysteriously throughout history. As for
Santa Claus. he had his origins in dozens of countries. Asia Minor
Italy. Africa. Holland, Russia and Sweden. But it was from the
Vnited States that he re-crossed the Atlantic, as Father Christmas
in England and Pere Noel in France. (Drawing courtesy of J C

"Christmas, with all of its

be yours in a nutshell if you
dared to write 'ole "Saint Nick"

The Story of

Christmas Giving

Who brings Christmas gifts'
Through the ages, the act of
giving has been shrouded in an
air of mystery that surrounds
both giver and gift. Since three
Wis? Men appeared suddenly out
of the desert bearing gold,
frankincense, and myrrh for the
new-born Infant at Jerusalem,
Christmas gift-bearers have ap-
peared and disappeared mysteri-
ously every year.

In Spain, the three Wise Men
still bring the presents and
distribute them on January 6th,
the Epiphany, Spanish children
put their shoes out on the
window sill and fill them with
straw for the camels then
awake to find that the straw .s
gone and presents have been leit
in its stead.

In Italy, the gift-giver is La
Befana who is reputed to eat
bad children as well as reward
good ones. Legend has it that
Befana was a woman who had
been too busy with her house-
work to offer hospitality to the
three Wise Men and asked
them to return when she was
not so busy. They did not come
back and Befana watches for
them every Epiphany,

French children know that
Le Pere Noel will come down
from heaven and bring good
things if they are well behaved
but if they are not. Le Pere
Fouettard Father Spanker -
may arrive with a load of
switches.

In Mexico, gifts come tumbling
from a pinata a gay clay bird
or animal filled with fruit,
candy, nuts and small gifts. The
pinata is hung from a doorway
or tree and the child, blind-
folded, breaks the pmata with
a stick. In the mad scramble that
follows, each child strikes to pick
up as many gifts as possible.

In Denmark, presents are
brought by the little gnome said
to dwell in the family attic or
barn and in some parts of
Scandinavia, gifts are brought
by two gnomes an old woman
carrying a basket of gifts and an
old man with a white beard
wearing a red hood.

In Russia, Grandfather Frost
often is assisted in his gift-bear-
ing by the Snow Maiden. And in
Holland, St. Nicholas rides upon
a white horse while his black-
clad servant. "Black Pieter,"
carries the gifts.

In ancient times, the gift-giver
was a local bishop accompanied
in a procession by demons who
scattered at his approach. Per-
haps one of these oldest Christ-
mas processionals was one in

ESQUIRE'S Fashion Director

'GOD REST YOU MERRY, GENTLEMEN . . ." for the festive
holiday season is upon us. The days are drawing in, the nights are
filled with music and laughter, and it's time to take a good, solid
look at your formal wear so you'll be a ready as well as a willing
party-goer.

IMAGINATION IS FUNNY. So says the

old song, and it's particularly true of formal
dress. "This is an area where the rules were
not made to be broken, where the polish
and punctilio of tradition are a must. So
your formal clothes are the blue chips in
your wardrobe and an extra investment
not only of money but of time and thought
about tailoring, fit and fabric, will pay you
steady dividends for many seasons to come.

WILT YOU WON'T not in the new

lightweight fabrics now available in formal
wear. These lustreless, lightweight wor-
steds, or blends of acrylic or polyester fibres
and worsted, are proof against the most
sardine-packed ballroom, stuffy and steam-
heated though it is. You'll be coolly, com-
fortably turned out in these fabrics for all
. seasons.

THE SHAPE'S THE THING, and a smart, correct jacket is the
natural shoulder, single-breasted dinner jacket with black satin
or silk faille shawl collar. Gaining steadily in popularity is the
notched lapel, often seen on the dinner jacket with flaps on the
pockets that may be worn in or out. Some undergraduates are
wearing the high-fashion peak lapel, which is a feature of dinner
jackets with a little more shape at the waist.

SCHEDULED FOR THE LATE SHOW

is the revival of the vest. One of these will
add a real touch of elegance to the formality
of your image, whether in matching fabric
trimmed with silk, or pure silk in a brocade
or textured weave. Note: the vest should
match your jacket in color, if not in fabric,
while its lapels should echo the shape of
those on your dinner jacket shawl, notched
or whatever. Here is the single-breasted
shawl collar vest with satin lapels and three
. buttons.

ON MIDDLE GROUND, the pleated satin cummerbund with
matching tie is the smart variation on a theme. To be correct with
traditional formal dress, they should be black. (An exception to
the rule: if you're in southern climes for Christmas, a subdued
madras or batik cummerbund and tie may be worn with your white
or colored dinner jacket. Lighter, brighter colors like blue, bur-
gundy and gold are newest, with orthodox styling and shawl
collar.) Your dress shirt, with black pearl studs and cufflinks to
match, has a pleated bosom and leaves a dazzling V2" of white cuff
showing. And while we're at it, why don't we leave the lacy, ruflly
shirts to the headliners at Las Vegas?

Home tconomics students prepare Christmas Bazaar under
direction of Mrs. Evanel R. Terrell.

A prize package designed to be opened both before and after
Christmas is this jolly Santa Claus cookie canister. It's so easy to
make, even the kids can lend a "helping" hand. All you need are a
paper bucket, a bit of cotton and colored paper, and some pomsettia
leaves.

THE BAREFOOT TWIST may be fun, but it could be hazardous
if any of those cigarets you're stamping out are live ones! Besides,
you'll be much more in step in your black patent leather plain-toe
eyelet-ties, or your slipon pumps with a grosgrain bow. A smart
alternative is a pair of highly-polished, black calfskin shoes with
plain toes, of course. Your hose are thin black silk, nylon or rayon
plain, with no ribbing, please, and gartered for the extra sleek-
ness that formal dress demands.

COVER THE SITUATION with a classic

Chesterfield coat, velvet-collared, worn with
a black, dressy snap-brim. More adventur-
ous alternatives, if you've the face for it.
are the black homburg or derby, both
equally correct. A white silk scarf and light
grey suede or natural chamois gloves will
complete the picture of a deb's delight.
From now on you're on your own! Have a
dandy holiday (pun intended) we'll see
.you next year.

Story of Christmas Giving

(Coniinurd from Pniic -11

s'hich two "ghosts of the fields"
ii essed in straw led the way,
iollowed by Pan. and behind Pan
1 masked and horned creature
Tjho carried a birch to chastise
sinners.

But one of the strangest gift-
5:i7ers of all flings open a door
ir Sweden throws in a gift
Ihen vanishes. The gift, called
the Julkapp, is done up in so
ii'iany wrappings that it is hard
to find.

Modern Santa Clauses, accord-
ing to J. C. Penney Company,
h.ave more than 50,000 different
kinds of gifts to choose from in
department stores. Penney's
cliief toy buyer alone selects up-
wirds of 1,000 different toy and
g. me items from which Penney
stores select Christmas toy
S'.ocks.

Which toys are popular with
CMHtemporary Santas and their
y-ungsters? Penney's reports an
increase in popularity of science
toys, and many children ask for
dolls and toys they've seen ad-
vertised on TV. Sign of the
times: little boys who once
wanted a train now frequently
prefer a racing car set.

The red-clad figures who ring
their clapper at shoppers have
a real life model in the Turkish
Bishop St, Nicholas, who devoted
his life to charity and good works
more than 1,600 years ago.

An old story tells how St.
Nicholas unintentionally origi-
nated the custom of hanging
stockings by the fireplace at
Christmas time, St. Nicholas
knew of a poor and proud noble-
man who had no dowry for his
three daughters. Coming to liis
house one evening, St. Nicholas
peered in the nobleman's win-
dow, saw him fast asleep, and
stealthily climbed the roof to
Ihe chimney. Here he pitched
down three gold pieces, expect-
ing they would land at the
hearth at the nobleman's feet.
But one of the daughters had
hung up a pair of stockings to
dry and the gold pieces landed
in the toe of one of tliem.

Christmas in the New England
Colonies was not a very happy
affair. For a time from 1642 to
1652 the Puritans in England
issued a series of ordinances for-
bidding church services and
festivities on Christmas Day as
well as making plum puddings
and mince pies. And in America,
because such celebrations had a
heathen origin, the General
Court of Massachusetts passed a
law in 1659 making the observ-
ance of Christmas a penal
offense.

In England, Christmas merri-
ment returned with the restora-
tion of the monarchy, in 1660.

But in America, the zeal against
"heatlien customs" persisted

until the middle of the 19th
century. As late as 1856, Christ-
mas was an ordinary working
day in Boston, and often those
who refused to come to work
were dismissed. In 1870. classes
were held as usual on Christmas
in public schools, and children
who did not attend were severely
punished.

But things began to brighten
as more and more immigrants
arrived, bringing with them their
own special gift-givers. Two
centuries before, the Dutch had
come, bringing St. Nicholas with
them, or Santa Glaus for sliort.
A German colony had moved
into Pennsylvania along with
"Cliristkindlein" who was to be
transformed into Kris Kringle,
Swedish settlers brought a gift-
giver descended from the old
god Thor.

In 1822. a Presbyterian divinity
professor named Dr. Clement C.
Moore bumped into a tiny, fat
Dutchman with red cheeks and
white hair. The Dutchman had
been telling Dr. Moore some St.
Nicholas legends, and now it
struck Dr. Moore that the old
Dutchman was the very image
of St, Nicholas himself.

Hurrying home. Dr. Moore sat
down and started to write:

'Twas the night before Christ-
mas, and all through the
house.

Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse."

The modern flesh and blood
Santa today, says Penney's. is
usually equipped with an arti-
ficial beard made of yak's hair
from Tibet. He has had his
origins in dozens of countries.
Asia Minor. Italy, Africa.
Holland. Russia and Sweden.

But it was from the United
States that he re-crossed the
Atlantic, as Father Christmas in
England and Pere Noel in
France.

Though Christmas comes but
cnce a year, in the Scandinavian
countries it lingers for a long
time; Jul, as it is known, lasts
thirteen days. Refreshments are
sometimes unusual: cakes or
loaves of bread in the form of
boars are eaten recalling the
ancient Viking feasts when real
wild boars were on the menu.

The French prefer cakes
shaped like a Yule log, frosted
with chocolate to resemble the
bark. After Midnight Mass.
families and friends gather to
make merry all night and to par-
take of an enormous meal called
"reveillon," which features
oysters, sausages and pancakes.
In some villages, a big party is
given on Twelfth Night, and the
king or queen of the evening is
the lucky person who has found
in his pastry a tiny doll, a bean,
or a little wooden shoe.

Traditionally, the big Christ-
mas visiting day in France Is
January 6. when friends call on
each other with gifts. French
children had already put out
their shoes for Bonhomme Noel
(Father Christmas) on Christ-
mas Eve.

But if you think you have a
lot of people dropping in during
the Christmas season, consider
the plight of some Mexican
hostesses. For each of the nine
nights before Christmas, a man
and woman dressed as Mary and
Joseph lead a donkey from door
to door, knocking for admittance,
Each night they are refused at
all but one home, which invites
them in for supper and hos-
pitality. As the two walk through
the streets, neighbors fall in be-
hind them so that by the time
the last house is reached, there
is quite a procession to be wined
and dined!

Remember that next time you
invite the "crowd" over for a
glass of Spanish sherry and some
Christmas cheer.

Christmas Entertaining
Around the World

If you peep under the table-
cloth at a Lithuanian Christmas
dinner, you may find hay! It is
placed there to symbolize the
Christ Child's birth in a manger.

In token of this fact, both
farmers and their cattle fast the
day before Christmas in parts of
Germany and then both enjoy
a hearty meal.

As you sit down to Christmas
dinner this year, give a thought
to the ways in which foreign
families spread good cheer.

Tlie Belgians and their guests
sit around and tell ghost stories.
Norwegians sit down to a
gigantic Christmas breakfast
with as many as 40 different
kinds of hot and cold dishes.

In some districts of Portugal,
even the ghosts look forward to
Christmas. For the Portuguese
leave food on the table so that
the spirits of the dead, if hungry,
can share in the Christmas
cheer. In Poland and the Balkan
countries at least before the
Iron Curtain closed in people
always left an empty chair at
the Christmas table and before
the fire, for the Christ Child:

But the Danes go to special
pains to avoid one unwanted
Christmas guest, the Shoemaker
of Jerusalem. According to the
old Danish legend, Jesus rested
at a shoemaker's door while on
the road to Calvary. "Go on. go
on," shouted the Shoemaker, "I
shall go on," replied Jesus, look-
ing at the Shoemaker, "but thou,
thou Shalt wander until I re-
turn." To discourage this un-
welcome wanderer. Danish farm-
ers make the sign of the cross
over all their farm implements,
lest, finding an unblessed corner,
the Shoemaker sit down and rest,
bringing bad luck to the farmer
and his household.

Though so many of the world's
Christmas customs sound exotic
and strange to our ears, the fact
Is that much of our own Christ-
mas cheer has been imported

from abroad. This is true not
only of the Christmas tree (from
Germany} and the Christmas
card lan English idea), but the
ingredients of our holiday
dinners and parties. Turkey is a
native American dish, but plum
pudding and mince pie are Eng-
lish; so is the wassail bowl.
Spanish sherry, which has long
been winning increasing popu-
larity at American tables, is also
becoming a holiday favorite
here: there is a type of sherry
to suit the palate of almost every
guest, and it begins or ends a
holiday meal with equal grace.

You might take a tip from Sir
Walter Raleigh who developed
Sack Posset as a Christmas
drink. Take 2 quarts of milk.
\ cups of sugar, warm to scald-
ing, add 4 beaten eggs yolks, and
add one bottle of Oloroso type
Spanish Sherry. Your guests will
feel as if you had knighted them.

Another Spanish custom which
might divert your holiday guests,
but has yet to reach our shores,
is the Urn of Fate. The names
of friends are placed in a large
bowl and on Christmas Day each
person draws the name of the
one who shall be his best friend
till next Christmas. If. as some-
times happens with name-
dropping, the results are disap-
pointing, the players just grin
and bear it: trade-offs aren't
allowed,

A charming Christmas party
game is played by children in
Mexico. A large jar of earthen-
ware, called a pinata, is filled
with gifts and then hung from
the celling of the house, or from
a nearby tree. Blindfolded chil-
dren try to break the jar with
a stick, and when someone suc-
ceeds, they all scramble for the
candy, fruit and gifts inside.

Another "swinging" Christmas
ritual, observed -in Switzerland,
has to do with the selection of a
future mate. If any young boy
or girl drinks from nine differ-

ISPEAKS AT
TOMPKINS

Featuring a discussion on In-
dustrial Arts in the Junior High
School curriculum, Tompkins
Junior High School teachers pre-
sented Dr. Clyde W, Hail. Direc-
tor of Technical Sciences, Sa-
vannah State College at the
legular in-service workshop.

Several important points were
given by Dr. Hall to be followed
in any modern Junior High
School program. Among these
were:

Before one can consider meet-
ing the scientific and technical
needs of Junior High School
students, he must first be
thoroughly aware of the stu-
dent's real needs.

There is a need for teachers
to be aware of the fact that
there is a definite relationship
between the Income of parents
and the achievement of their
cliildren in school as recorded
by standardized tests, but this
relationship does not necessarily
hold true when it comes to
Naiive ability.

Students should be made
aware early in their educational
program of the many scientific
and technical jobs available to
their group, so they can start
pursuing the necessary courses
to qualify for such jobs.

Industrial arts is designed to
introduce to and provide an
opportunity for students to un-
derstand our present day indus-
trial complex which is run by
electronics and automation, and
financed heavily by the Defense
Budget of the U, S. Government.

Electricity, electronics, metals
and drafting should be the key
areas of an up-to-date Indus-
trial arts program.

Dr. Hall received his B.S- de-
gree from Savannah State Col-
lege I Magna Cum Laude ) , his
M.S, from Iowa State College and
his Ed.D. from Bradly University.

quite satisfactory.

There are 16 teams In the loop.
both male and female. (On
different teams, that is.)

So far, every team has been
defeated at least once, which

Honor System Needed Here

An article appeared recently in the Savannah Evening Press
on the orRanizine of a honor system at one of the local high schools.

The honor system, as outlined, would curb or eliminate cheat-
ing on examinations by having. (1) students to pledge complete
honesty in the taking of tests, <2) students to consider it their duty
to report to authorities whenever other students attempt to copy
on tests or give out copies of stolen examinations for profit or favor.

The primary aim of the system is to foster higher standards of
scholarship among the students at the school.

Such a system should be organized here and at other educa-
tional institutions, because it is a known fact that American high
school and college students have resorted to various dishonest prac-
tices in order to "pass" examinations.

Being such an institution, it is not surprising that a represent-
able number of our students do "got" examinations. This should
be of vital concern to both faculty and student body because, If
not checked, this malignancy could spread to such proportions that
our rating system here would be invalidated.

It would tlien be possible for a dishonest "honor" graduate's
record on a Job could be harmful to the reputation of the school.

While reaction to this editorial may be disfavorable on part
of those guilty of these malpractices, it is the role of the school
press to bring forth for all to see those things which are considered
to be undesirable or harmful.

The Tiger's Roar is definitely and uncompromisingly against all
such dishonesty and will campaign vigorously against this evil.

It Is almost unbelievable that instructors here are not aware
of the situation.

We would like to see more precautionary measures taken by
professors to safeguard the security of their tests, and some type
of action by the sincere and honest students at this college to halt
this assault on the integrity of our institution is long overdue.

THE BLACK MAN HAVING
STEPPED, WAUvS ON

By Bobby L. Hill, '63
Savannah State College

One of the most cockeyed con-
cepts in the documents of his-
tory reads, "and finally the
Negro was set free in 1863." This
rationalized promise by which
much of the injustices of today
are explained away should be
unequivocally dispelled.

The Emancipation Proclama-
tion was indeed a step in the di-
rection of "Justice writ large"
but a far cry from unqualified
justice. Since Abe Lincoln set pen
to that famous document of
"freedom" the black man having
stepped, ualks on, but he has
walked on rugged grounds.
Blockades have been placed in
his way, The roads have been re-
vamped by the contractors and
architects of bigotry and hate.
The black man walked silently
into the hangmen's noose in
Georgia and other states where
the state mottos are similar to
"Justice, Wisdom and Modera-
tion." The Negro has trodded
peacefully into towns where the
stones, stakes, boiling oil and
jeering wiiites awaited his ar-
rival. He has stopped at the back
window of restaurants and for
equal price, received scraps re-
served for the dogs and the
Negro. The black man has had
to rest in the scums of iast-class
housing, along his way. He has
had to perform the lowest jobs
for the lowest pay. He has to
take what was left after the
feast, on that which his black
hands planted, worked, picked,
cooked and served. He has to
serve his God. his master and
himself. He has had only the
hope of heaven.

The story of the Negro, since
the Emancipation Proclamation,
has certainly not been one of
free flowing melody. Too often,
the story has been of desolation
and long suffering; too often, it
has been a story of detached and
autonomous people in a nation
claiming dedication to unity.

The laws and treaties espous-
ing freedom and equality since
1863 have been numerous, and
an equal number of them have
been only ink filled scraps of
paper; yet, the black man walks

Converse to the scriptures, the
black man is forced to make two
steps to God's one. Marvelous
though, is and has been his
ability to walk on when the road
was all uphill. Even more
marvelous has been his ability
to achieve recognition and merit
when twice the effort, time and
ingenuity of any other individual
had to be put forth. In the
period since the Emancipation
Proclamation, we have seen the
black man, in spite of gross un-
favorable odds, produce great
men in every existing field
from syrup-making to surgery.

One would reasonably surmise
that time alone (1863-19631
would have eradicated the Amer-
ican injustices and made for the
realization of racial peace under
the Emancipation Proclamation.
One would reason that in a one
hundred-year lapse of time,
slavery would be a memory,
segregation dead and prejudice
passed away. To tliink this would
certainly be a careless thought.
as well as a thought in error. For
on this very day, 1963. freedom
and justice are "writ small." Yet,
the black man having stepped,
walks on.

Today there is a new Negro,
There is a new hope and a new
dignity, all encompassed with a
new approach. The new Negro is
asking questions and demanding
answers: building houses and
living in them, cooking food and
eating it, writing books and
reading them, making laws and
enforcing them. The barriers
that stand before the new Negro
must come down, never to rise
again.

It is for certain that in this
new day, the laws proclaiming
justice must be either realized
or scrapped. Not for one minute
more can political, economic and
social injustices exist under the
roof of democracy. The new
Negro demands that democracy
be defined and practiced or
scrapped and forgotten.

The day has come but the task
is not completed. The task is
neither one for a select few: it is
a responsibility of every man-
black, white, or colorless to join
the fight against injustices,
bondage, ignorance, prejudice
and tradition.

Simpson Says
Research Centers
Develop Around
LJ ni versities

By Veronica Owens

The Editorial and Research
Service published an editorial by
Dr. George L. Simpson, Jr., the
Assistant Administrator for
Public Affairs National Aeronau-
tics and Space Administration.
In his editorial Dr. Simpson
stipulated the plausibility of
establishing research centers in
the South - He is quoted as
stating, "Before we can con-
sider such research centers
seriously, we must take a look
at the factor most vital to their
success , . . the men who staff
those centers,"

He further contended that the
research scientists that will
automatically have to work at
these centers are attracted to
the metropolitan areas more
than they are to small towns and
communities. This attraction.
Dr. Simpson attributed to the
fact that in the metropolitan
areas entertainment and speak-
ing engagements are at a high
level. Also, in these areas a great
deal of informal actviity where
research shop talk and general
intellectual discussions are held.

Dr. Simpson proceeded to
maintain that. "The university
is at the core of virtually all cur-
rent efforts to develop centers of
research activity in the South."
He went on to enumerate the
several reasons for this fact. The
university has libraries and other
research facilities; the university
provides the possibility of con-
tinuing graduate education for
the research scientist; consulta-
tion with faculty members is
convenient; and of special im-
portance is the general intellec-
tual and cultural atmosphere
that is more than attractive to
the scientists and his family."

Dr. Simpson concluded his
editorial by asserting that, "Be-
fore we can build productive
centers of research, we must
build universities of the finest
order in this region so that we
will have the nucleus around
which research activities can
grow."

Research Bulletin

By Elmer Thomas

The annual Faculty Research
Edition of the Savannah State
College Bulletin was recently re-
leased by the college. The
bulletin Is published by the
faculty research committee. Dr.
John L. Wilson, professor of
education, is head of the com-
mittee.

The bulletin contains articles
on research as well as creative
writings. Inasmuch as this
edition contains a wide variety
of contributions, it is considered
to be one of the best ever pub-
lished.

Dr. Calvin L. Kiah, chairman
of the division of education,, pre-
sented a paper entitled "The

Here are the future teachers,

Here are the scientists needed

Here are tomorrow's business-

and women whose minds, skills,
and energies will adapt the
treasures of the earth to the
services of mankind tomorrow.

But, we do not have to be re-
minded that we live in a world
of great tension and compres-
sion.

The real question is whether
we can survive as a free nation.

Certainly, if the past ten years
area prologue to the future, we
face difficult problems, revolu-
tionary changes, and dynamic
challenges as well as unsur-
passed opportunities.

A look at out- world reveals
the following facts:

Culturally, the masses of the

world are stirring with a ramp-
ant nationalism that is sweep-
ing across entire continents.

Educationally, there is a
passion for knowledge in the
world today that never before in
the history of civilization has
been equaled, for free people
know that it takes an educated
population to remain free.

Politcilaly, we live in a divided

world which is chiefly dominated
by the split and fused atoms.

Economically, we are experi-
encing aggressive competition in
our domestic and foreign mar-
kets.

Technologically, we live in a
world compressed in space and
time.

Today, man can circle the
globe in less than two hours.

Before the Sixties are out, we
may have landed on the moon.

In a time such as ours, we need
outstanding men and women if
we are going to meet the eco-
nomic, political, and social
challenges of our times.

persons with the intellectual

CAMPUS

^ FASHIONS

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, esquire's Fashion Director

Winter isn't really going to go on forever ... it just seems that way.
And by now. you've probably noticed some gaps in your cold-
weatJier wardrobe. So, what better time to fill in those gaps . . . and
to help you here is a review of this Winter's newest fashion ideas.
What's new? Quite a bit.

SUITS ON THE SCENE. ..this wintevof-

fer enough variety to suit any discernnig
young man with ideas about fashion. Dark
blue unfinished worsted is your best bet
for the basic, go-anywhere suit. It's equal
to all but the most formal after-dark oc-
casions, as is dark gray sharkskin bird's-
eye worsted. (Eird's-eye is a tiny geo-
metric pattern of small diamond shapes
with dark center dots.) Pin stripes, espe-
cially in dark blues and bromis, are play-
ing a successful revival this year, and are
due for a long run. The much more casual,
soft muted glen plaids are most often seen
on the fashion scene in light and dai'k
tones of gray.

WINTER WEIGHTS- All wool material.
or blends of wool and polyester fibers make
for light^veight warmth in today's suits.
No matter what your great-aunt says,
horse-blanket Winter weights just ai-en't

necessary anymore, even for horse-blankets. The silhouette of your
new lightweight Winter suit is natural shoulder, with straight-
hanging, center-vented jackets remaining the rule. 3-button models
are most popular with men on campus, and trim, tapered trousers,
either belted or in the newei', self-belt variety, are all pleatless for
a slimmer look.

SHORT SNAP STYLING short snap-tab collars on dress shirts
are the front-runners in fashion today, followed closely by button-
downs, both featuring barrel cuffs and button-back neckbands.
While checking that wardrobe of yours, check out your shirts:
make sure there are enough for a change every day particularly
in white broadcloths, the staple of your shirt supply. A few dis-
creetly striped oxfords will lend fashionable and sophisticated
variety to your stock: And both provide the right background for
foulard and wool challis ties printed in soft, muted patterns.

DAY IN. DAY OUT. ..nothing cuts winter chin likeaflannel shirt,
both for warmth and for warmly colorful good looks. They're
either all-wool or blends of either wool-and-cotton or wool-and-
polyester fibers. Oversized tartans and solid colors, classically
styled with medium spread , collars, are standouts for comfort and
good looks.

BREATHES THERE A MAN WITH SOUL SO DEAD . . .he can't use

one more sweater? If so, he can't be found on any campus we know
of. Shetland pullovers in heather tone mixtures or in vibrant colors
are the hardy perennials of the pullover breed, and are always m
fasliion. But if you're looking for something new, try one of the
new Tyrolean-influenced heavy-knits. These lively patterned pull-
overs have V-necks that button up snugly against the Wintry winds.
Cardigans, now available in lighter-than-ever-weight yarns, are
fast becoming year-round favorites. But-
ton one up against the icy blasts now, and
get the bonus of casual good looks over
your cotton sport shirts this Summer.

S*"=.l? STRAYING FROM THE FOLD

le liable to wind up in shearling jack-
et:- or knee-length outercoats. Handsome
bulky stadium coats with shearling lining
are this year's fashion pace-setters. Cot-
ton pile lining under smooth fabric shell
is another fashionable way to fight frost.
Newest of all is the quilted nylon jacket in
bright blue or black. Lightweight and
warm, it features a zippered front and
parka hood for extra protection and trim
good looks.

RAIN MAY NOT HURT THE RHUBARB

...but it can dampen more than your
spirits if you're not ready for it. We'll see
you next month, with a look at the latest
in rainwear. See you then.

Coach Frazier\s Tlfiers
Showing Improveweiit

By Therman Thomas "

After a relatively slow start,
Coach Al Frazier's youthful
Tigers have picked up steam to
bolster their season record to
four wins against five setbacks.

Height is one of the team's
biggest assets. The current edi-
tion of the Tigers is one of the
tallest teams ever to don the
Blue and Orange, Average player
height is about 6' 2", Although
blessed with height, the squad
is a bit lacking in the speed
category.

In order to counteract this
weakness, mentor Al Frazier
changed his attack from the old
run-and-shoot type of offense
to a ball-control type of game.

The squad's attack is centered
around Johnny Mathis, a tower-
ing 6' 4" center.

Having not yet reached their
mid-season form, the Tigers
have the makings of a well-
balanced ball club. Only three
lettermen from the long-to-be-
remembered squad which
achieved national recognition,
are now playing varsity basket-
ball at Savannah State.

Students Here Vote "Pro"
On Birth Control Question

By Darnel H, Dawson

During the past few years the
subject of birth control has
caused much controversy. One
of the biggest factors that has
contributed to the controversy
was the development of an effec-
tive birth control plU.

A great deal has been said for
and against birth control
measures, with the sharpest re-
actions being posted by those
who view the problem In a re-
ligious or moral light. One
eminent Catholic gynecologist
who helped in the development
of the pill said that ". . . the use
of birth control pills for legiti-
mate purposes Is completely

moral," while on the contrary
Catholic Church officiais say
the pills may not be used for
the prevention of conception.
They do. however, approve of
the pill being used to prevent
miscarriage and to promote
fertility.

Today with the population of
the world at the three billion
mar\i and rising, birth control
has become an International
issue. Statisticians say that by
the year 2000, the earth's present
population will double. Half the
world's population is presently
underfed. With many coun-
tries producing people faster
than food, what exactly will be
the state of affairs by the year
2000?

SAVANNAH STATE LIBRARIAN
APPOINTED TO LIBRARY BOARD

E. J. Josey was one of two
Negro citizens appointed to the
Board of Managers of the Sa-
vannah PulDlIc Library. Eugene
Gadsden, a local attorney and an
alumnus of Savannah State,
shares this historic honor with
Mr. Josey. Mayor Malcolm
Maclean recommended the ap-
pointment and City Council ap-
proved on Wednesday, Decem-
ber 19.

E. J. Josey was born in Nor-
io\k, Virginia, and educated in
the public schools of Portsmouth.
Virginia. He is a veteran of
World War II.

A graduate of Howard Uni-
versity where he received the
A.B. degree in Hislory, Mr. Josey
matriculated at Columbia Uni-
versity and received the M.A. de-
gree in History; his professional

training in Librarlanship was
done at the State University of
New York, Albany, New York,
where the M.S.L.S. was con-
ferred.

(Continued on Page 3)

Something must be done to
curb the present birth rate if the
over-populated countries of the
world are going to stabilize their
economies, Already extensive
birth control promotion is being
carried out in countries with
populations exceeding one
blliion.

Our territory of Puerto Rico
and the country of India are two
of the areas where such
measures are being used on a
large scale.
Views & Opinions at SSC

In order to determine how the
students at Savannah State Col-
lege view the issue, this
columnist asked a number of
students enrolled here the fol-
lowing questions:

(1) "Do you approve of the
use of contraceptives to control
the birth rate within the world.
this country, or any particular
area?"

(2) "How would you rate your-
self insofar as religoius convic-
tions are concerned?

A, No religious convictions at
all.

B, Below average.

C. Average.

D. Strong religious convic-
tions."

(31 "Are your views on the
issue affected by your religious
beliefs?"

A Fireside Chat

Raymond Johnson
Not to Lose Perspe

By Elmer Thomas

We were sitting by the fire-
place that cold Wednesday eve-
ning, I was reading the after-
noon newspaper and Raymond
Johnson was puffing on his pipe
as lie sat watcliing the synco-
pated dance of tlie flames.

Extension Service Facilities Outlined

Among the many offices on
the Savannah State College
Campus is the one located on the
second floor of Hill Hall.
Actually, though, it is not an
office, but an agency composed
of several offices, which form
the Georgia Agricultural Exten-
sion Service for this area.

Augustus Hill, state agent in
charge of the extension service,
says that the agency offered
various types of services of in-
terest and benefit to both urban
and rural citizens.

Farmers may receive free pro-
fessional aid from the agents,
who are trained In their specialty
and are familiar with the latest
techniques and developments in
the field of agriculture. Area
farmers may have their soils
tested and analyzed so that they
can fertilize their land properly.
Help in such areas as insect and
pest control, marketing, farm
improvement and the prevention
of soil erosion is al.so available.
The agents also can help solve
social and economic problems
like family budgeting, rural
recreation, and personal prob-
lems whenever this type of
assistance is sought.

By no means are services
limited to the rural population
The 4-H Club work in this area
is supervised by the Agricultural

: Extension Service.

Savannah at one time had the

greatest number of 4-H Club

' members in this state, despite
the fact that Chatham County

: is mostly urban.

Students in the junior high
; schools and the lower grades are
I taught many skills and practices
which will be of benefit to them.
' They are taught to beautify their

homes through interior decorat-
ing and landscaping. Many a
successful housewife can give
credit to a 4-H Club and a club
worker for the acquisition of
basic household skills.

"Won't be long before you'll

"No, I'm very happy to say.

"That's mighty fine, mighty

"One thing about education is
that it sharpens your vision
makes you aware of many facts
and ideas the geography of
China distance from here to
the sun physical laws of the
universe. . . ."

"That's quite true, sir," I said
as I reached over, grabbed the
iron poker, and pushed the log
on the fire into a better burning
position.

He continued to sit there,
meditating as he so often did.
It was almost impossible to tell
what thoughts Mr. Johnson was
entertaining, but I tell you I
doubt that there is a more
broadniinded' individual in tliis
region. However, one could be
very easily fooled by his rather
rural appearance and speech, but
if you knew him like I know
him, you'd agree that he is quite
a person.

"My advice to you son^Get
the education Don't let the
education get you."

"How's that, sir,"

"See these glasses here." he
said pointing to his gold-rimmed
spectacles, "they are for far-
sightedness; with them one can
see things that are far off
all right but can't see something
that's right next to him."

I could see then that Mr.
Johnson was trying to get a
point over.

"I've seen quite a bit in my
life. Of course I'm not one of
these fellas who believes wisdom
comes with old age. 'cause I've
seen a lotta' men much older
than me and at the same time
much more foolish."

He fumbled around for a few
minutes looking for a match. He
finally rolled a piece of paper,
stuck it in the hot coals and re-
lit his pipe,

"But one thing I know," he
continued, "is that if we'd ail
pay a bit more attention to little
things like you lettin' your dad
know liow much you appreciate

him sending you through college
then we'd all be a little better."

Evidently the old man hadn't
lit the tobacco well the last
time because it went out again.
He went through the same pro-
cedure as before, lighting the
paper and then transferring the
fire to his pipe. He took a big
puff, and tlien continued:

"I like that poem by James W.
Foley, 'Drop a Pebble In the
Water',"

"Oh yes! I know that one,"
was my response.

He looked up at the ceiling for
a couple of minutes, and then
began to recite:

Drop a pebble in the water:

just a splash, and it is
gone;

But there's half-a-hundred

ripples circling on and on,

Spreading, spreading from the

center, flowing on out to

the sea.

And there is no way of tell-
ing wiiere the end is going
to be.

Drop a word of cheer and
kindness; in a minute you
forget;
But there's gladness still a
swelling, and there's joy
a-circling yet

And you've rolled a wave of
comfort whose sweet music
can be heard
Over miles and miles of
water just by dropping one
kind word,"

The horn honking outside was
that of my brother who had
stopped by to pick me up on his
way home from his job at the
forestry lookout station.

By this time Mrs. Johnson had
come into the room from the
kitchen. I bade them both a
good evening and moved on.

The flu epidemic, which has
risen to serious proportions
throughout the United States.
has struck a number of students
and faculty members here.

In less than a week after the
general outbreak, the college in-
firmary had been filled to
capacity with stricken dormitory
students.

Owing largely to the quick
action taken by the college
doctor and nurse, the number of
flu cases here have been kept at
a minimum. Fortunately, there
have been no deaths so far due
to the flu outbreak.

The Fraternity wishes to make
it clear that this is not an Alpha
project exclusively. In fact, all
able-bodied members of the col-
lege community are asked to
donate blood.

The case for the establishment
of such an economic community

Facts Revealed
Concerning
Credit Unions

In an address on Thursday,
February 14, at Savannah State.
James R. Coats, Regional Repre-
sentative of the Bm-eau of
Federal Credit Unions. Atlanta,
brought out several interesting
points.

He said that it took only five
persons to start such an organi-
zation, provided that they all
would have a common bond- of
association. This association
could be in the way of fraternal
ties, membership in a labor
union, a farm organization, a
religious or church group, etc-

Not only is the membership
requirement surprisingly small,
but the fee charged members is
only 25 cents.

The other basic requirement
is that the members must all
live in a well defined neighbor-
hood, comunity, or rural district.

would halt Communist expan-
sion and would result in in-
creased productivity and higher
standards of living for all mem-
ber nations.

Bobby Hill and James Brown
convincingly submitted argu-
ments branding the proposal, in
Hill's words, as ". . , unworkable,
unrealistic, and would create a
host of new problems, -

Both teams exliibited a clear-
cut mastery of the topic under
discussion, but most observers
had to agree that the Savannah
State team was both thorough
in its knowledge of the case and
brilliant with orations.

At 7:30 p.m. on the same date,
Mannie Roberts and Verlyn Bell
debated South Carolina State
College on the same topic.

The Savannah State Debating
Society defeated South Carolina
State in Columbia earlier during
the season.

The debate here was a non-

level. At a recent meeting, the
brothers of Delta Eta Chapter
voted unanimously to undertake
this humanitarian project.

Editorials

Education in an Egg Shell

By Marvin Chatman
Plato declares that the pur-
pose of education Is "to give to
the body and soul all the per-
fection of which they are
capable." Learning among us
has come to be regarded too
much as a means of hnprovlng
one's material comforts. We have
put too much emphasis on the
"practical" in education. But will
not a study of the beautiful in
life do much toward fitting the
citizen for his place in the
modern world? Ex - President
Elliot of Yale University, said;
"It Is undeniable that the Ameri-
can democracy has thus far
failed to take proper account of
the sense of beauty as a means
of happiness and to provide for
the training of that sense."

Popular culture is a sign of
the times. People do want money
and are willing to work and to
speculate In order to acquire
wealth. They crave entertain-
ment and throng moving picture
shows and Jazz palaces In the
feverish pursuit of such ideal
pleasure. But beneath these
hectic tendencies of the age
there are more determined
movements in the direction of
the things that make for a sound
mind In a sound body. The re-
sult Is physical and intellectual
culture. As a people, we should
aim to cultivate the arts and
sciences so that no longer we
shall have to say to ourselves,
"Yes, we do not have national
culture."

We who are amateurs, we who
are going to be teachers, lawyers.
stenographers, doctors, salesmen,
housewives, what shall we gain
from studying the arts in school?

No matter what your sphere
of life may be, you will need the
following qualifications, and
these, participation in dramatic
activity may give you:

1. Poise The ability to enter
a room and to remain in it with-
out feeling that your arms and
legs are insecurely fastened and
that your clothes are wrong,
This is a valuable asset in any
walk of life.

2. Voice Training Everyone
realizes the value of pleasant,
welJ-modulated voice.

3. Spirit of Cooperation The
production of a play does not
depend upon any one person, but
upon everyone concerned,

4. A Knowledge of Human
Nature There is no job where
a knowledge of people is not of
vital Importance. The relation
between employer and employee,
between teacher and student,
between parents and children
depends on it, and one of the
best ways to acquire it is by the
study of character, motives,
emotions, which is the founda-
tion of all acting. To put yourself
into Juliet's place, to think her
thoughts, and understand Juliet
on the stage is to understand
many Julletish qualities off
stage.

Thus, we can truly say, "The
play's the thing."

Likewise, various other stu-
dents at this college might give
a detailed account of the value
and necessity of teaching the
correlated arts of music, dancing,
language, and painting; but as
each supplants the other, we will
generalize by saying that an ap-
preciation, a love and an under-
standing of the arts develops the
individual's taste for better
things in life.

To strive to go adventuring
along unlcnown paths; to seek to
make real a dream; to find the
moaning of that wondrously
patterened thing called life,
these are desires which even live
in the heart of man. Ages ago,
great souls felt its urge and went
forth on pilgrimages, each to the
shrine of his ideal.

And today, all over the world,
those in whom the vision dwells,

to the quest the added joy of

Editorial Says Colleges Should Permit
Coiniiuiiiists to Be Heard on Campuses

ACP) Debating with Com-
munists on campus should be a
reciprocal affair, argues The
Redlands Bulldog, University of
Redlands, Redlands, California,

Last spring, in response to a
request to have such a debate on
campus a request backed by the
campus Young Republicans and
various Bulldog writers the ad-
ministration refused to allow a
Communist to debate at UR,

Now the Bulldog has received
a letter from 36 students, tell-
ing of their experiences in
Prague. Czechoslovakia, and
raising the question of why they
were allowed to speak at a Com-
munist university and Com-
munists were not allowed to
even to debate at ours.

There are several reasons why
their question is quite valid.

First, if there is any truth in
what these "extremists" have to
say. it is a grave error and con-
trary to the spirit of an
academic institution to deny
students the right to hear them.

Second, if the views of the
extremists are untrue a distinct
possibility UR students still are

cheated by being denied the
opportunity of hearing them out.

Besides, to label everything a
Communist or Bircher says as
untrue smacks of self-appointed
infallibility and forfeit.s to the
opponents of democracy many
otherwise valid concepts.

John Stuart Mill in his essay
"On Liberty" emphasizes: "He
who knows only his own side of
the case knows little of that. His
reasons may be good, and no one
may have been able to refute
them. But he is equally unable
to refute the reasons on the
opposite side."

We urge. then. (1) because
extremists may have something
of worth to say. and i2i because
we need to know and understand
opposing viewpoints in order to
defend our own convictions, that
the administration alter its
stand on extremist speakers,

Surely, if the totalitarian Com-
munists are willing to let us
challenge them in their own
back yard, we should not be
afraid to have them challenge
us at UR.

Competitive
Grddin^ System
Defended

(ACP) Should we abandon
grades in college? Answers Bill
High, student at Oregon State
University, Cor vail is: "Hog-
wash!"

In a letter to the OSU Daily
Barometer, he says that every
few months a major catastrophe
strikes a large portion of
liumanity that fateful day
shortly after finals when stu-
dents suddenly are faced with
reality. After a term of slough-
ing, self - delusionment and
cramming, one suddenly dis-
covers that a "B" in Success 1963
is hard to come by.

Immediately following the
above rude awakening, honor
student and flunky alike begin
to make noises against our com-
petlve grading system. Their
arguments are quite sound, but
only if they are taken out of
context with our society.

In the first place, we live in
a competive society. Life is one
long series of competions. and
it is because of this very com-
petition that democracy can
even exist. Now, as every busi-
nessman knows, it is easier to
compete and succeed against
and equal than against some-
thing superior. In order to com-
pete in a field, a company must
have well-qualified personnel.
Here is how our educational
system comes in.

Our schools must provide these
personnel, At the same time, the
schools must provide business
with an easy method of deter-

By James Robert Smith

In a time like this: atomic
energy is taking the place of our
fighting devices, man is advanc-
ing farther toward reaching the
moon, and new techniques are
being made to cope with our
everchanging world We need in-
dividuals with strong minds,
broad hearts, and the will to get
ahead. In order to be an in-
dividual of that capacity we
must be able to stand on our

mining who is most qualified
to do a job.

Competitive grading is part of
that method. Grades give an
Indication of willingness to work
and willingness to accept at
least some of the rules of society.

Grades, then, reflect not only
intellectual ability but also the
degree to which a person will
apply this ability.

We should abandon protec-
tionism and instead teach
Johnny how to compete. Perhaps
then he would be better pre-
pared for adult life. And, to
those who say that it's not the
grade that counts, it's what you
learn. I say hogwash again. The
two go hand in hand.

Let us not abandon grades.
Instead, let's abandon self-
delusion and go out and face
that cruel, nasty world as it
really is. Who knows we might
even find it an enjoyable way of
Hfe.

LETTERS
TO

THE

Dear Editor:

Does the increasing number of
human relations courses and
organizations in our colleges in-
dicate the growing concern as to
what our relations should be
with new neighbors coming from
other parts of the country and
the world?

Is this concern due in part to
the students, exchange pro-
fessors, businessmen and tourists
going to other countries and
coming to our own?

Is it due in part to the laws
and ordinances aimed at acts of
discrimination because of re-
ligion, race, color or culture?

Whatever the reasons, isn't it
becoming increasingly evident
that the basic hindrance to any
effort for improving human re-
lations with our new neighbors
is the prejudices we harbor
against those we have heretofore
not considered as our neighbors?

Never before in the annals of
history have so many people
cried out fo ra right that always
should have been theirs: social
justice.

And never before have so
many people won that right. But
the struggle to win social
equality for all has not been
completely won. Millions of peo-
ple still dream . . . still ask . . .
still fight for the right to be
treated as human beings.

Favors Honor
System Proposal

Dear Editor:

You should be commended for
your editorial. "Honor System
Needed Here," which appeared
in the January issue of the
Tiger's Roar.

I agree that the honest stu-
dents at this college and I do
believe that we form a vast ma-
jority should do something to
stop this "test snatching."

I hope that the students and
administration will take some
action to this effect very soon,

own feet and face the hard tasks
that confront us with the at-
titude of coming out victorious.

I DARE YOU to strive for the
higher goals in life. I seem to
remember the words of Ralph
Waldo Emerson and I quote:
"The man who strives for higher
goals in life will be the man to
enlighten the way to future
generaltles, but the man who
stands back and waits will be
waiting tomorrow,"

I DARE YOU to get a college
education. A college degree is
a necessity in today's world. We
need young men and women who
are well skilled to carry on gov-
ernment business and light the
way to new formulas.

I DARE YOU to get your own
lesson. A person who steals his
way through college by getting
examinations will be the person
who faces difficulty tomorrow.
He may graduate from college
with honors because he has
stolen his way through by cheat-
ing on examinations, but he will
be the same person who is turned
down on a job because of a low
score on the test.

I DARE YOU to strive for the
honor roll. I have often heard
students say that they just want
to pass. That shouldn't be so.
We should want to do more than
just pass. We should want to
strive for honorable grades and
also accomplish something from
the class. You may not see it
now but your grades determine
the kind of future ahead of you,

I DARE YOU to attend class
reguiraly, A person who comes
to college to lay around in the
dormitory all day is wasting his
time and somebody's money. He
is in the wrong place. College
is a place of learning.

"I DARE YOU TO ACT LIKE
COLLEGE STUDENTS. You are
now grown men and women.
You don't have anyone to tell
you to go to class and when to
go. You should know your
responsibilities and act to them
accordingly. A college student
not only upholds his standards
at school but he also upholds his
standards wherever he goes.
Education is expensive, and it is
left up to the individual to take
advantage of his college career
to make the best out of it.

The world is rapidly changing
day by day and it is calling for
men and women with the ability
to think, read, write, and ex-
press themselves to cope with
these accompanying changes. I
DARE YOU to be ready to meet
the challenges of a changing

What You Should Know
About the National Budget

JAZZ DANCE

What is the most significant
trend in the growing expendi-
tures of our Federal Govern-
ment? Are nondefense expendi-
tures increasing faster than
those for defense production? Is
the Government really holding
the line on nondefense spend-
ing, or is it proposing more and
more new programs every year?

Answers to these questions
and many others of interest to
taxpayers are given by the
Council of State Chambers of
Commerce in a critical analysis
of the Administration's budget
proposals for 1964. The study was
made In Washington by Eugene
F. Rinta, a noted fiscal analyst.

The "one truly heartening"
feature in the budget the
"recognition by President Ken-
nedy and his administration that
. . . significant reduction of in-
dividual and corporate (tax)
rates is essential for the attain-
ment of our (economic) growth
potential" was found to be
jeopardized by the size of the
budget itself.

The expenditure estimate for
1964 is S98.8 billion which ex-
ceeds the highest budget total
during World War 11 (the $98.8
billion total of fiscal 1945 1. The
1964 total is S4.5 billion above
the current estimates for 1963,
and SI 1.0 billion above the 1962
fiscal year which ended last
June 30.

The Council analysis further
notes that the 1964 expenditure
total is 29 per cent above that
of 1960, the last full budget year
of the previous administration.
That represents an annual in-
crease of $5.6 billion over the
four years since 1960.

A cursory comparison of
budgeted 1964 expenditures by
functional categories with cur-
rent estimates for 1963 might In-
dicate that the Defense and
Space programs account for the
entire increase of $4.5 billion.
But the Rlnta analysis discloses
that many categories of non-
defense expenditures show a
further rise in spending beyond
the sharp increases that have
already been effected since 1960.

True or False

11. The U. S. Congress voted
to buy bonds to help pay for the
U.N.'s special operations in the
Middle East and in the Congo,

12. The U. S. rocket fired to-
ward Venus was the Apollo.

13. In September, Great Britain
was admitted to membership in
the Common Market.

14. By January 1, 1963, Cali-
fornia had become the nation's
most populous stated.

15. In just 2 min. 6 sec, Charles
Sonny Liston won the world's
heavyweight boxing champion-
ship from:

A. Ingemar Johanssen.

B. Gene Fullmer.

C. Floyd Patterson.

D. Archie Moore.

16. Making the Yankees the

world champions of baseball for
the 20th time, the 1962 World
Series set all but one of the fol-
lowing records for a seven-game
series:

A. Most home runs.

B. Fewest base hits.

C. Most strike-outs.

D. First series grand slam by
a National Leaguer.

17. In both major leagues,
balloting for the 1962 Most Valu-
able Player narrowed down to a
contest between a slugging out-
fielder and a peppery Inflelder.
In the American League, Mickey
Mantle won the title; in the Na-
tional League, It went to:

A. Willie Mays.

B, Y. A, Tittle, Jr.

C. Bus Mosbacher.

D, Maury Wills.

AS IT MUST TO ALL.

Death came lo these vvidelv-known people. Match the name and
description.

A. His poetry, full of strewed syllables but few capital letters,
speaks of his romantic individualism.

B. For 28 years, her book, The Joy of Cooking, has been the kitchen
bible to legions of women.

C. She wrote gracefully ghostly short stories and a popular volume of
memoirs called Out of Africa.

D. Symbol of The Netherlands' resistance to Nazi aggression during
World War H, she abdicated her throne to her daughter in 1948
after reigning as Queen for fifty years.

E. He gave to ihe world's largest auto-making firm the leadership
of a supersdiesman and daring investor.

F. Humanitarian, author, politician, and First Lady, she was
admired through much of the world for two generations.

In those categories where a
decrease was shown, the analysis
explained that some special
factor other than a curtailment
of activities Is generally in-
volved:

1. The $1 billion drop antici-
pated in farm price supports Is
largely accounted for by antici-
pated substantial sales in 1964
of cotton expected to be placed
under price support in the cur-
rent year. Whether these sales
materialize remains to be seen.

2. An indicated reduction of
$160 million In Rural Electrifica-
tion Administration and Farmers
Home Administration loan pro-
grams is almost wholly ac-
counted for by a bookkeeping
device. A similar proposal was
rejected by Congress last year,

3. A drop of $248 million in
net postal service outlays Is ac-
counted for by a lower postal
deficit due to the full year effect
in 1964 of postal rate increases
approved last year.

4. Foreign economic and tech-
nical assistance shows a reduc-
tion of $145 million from 1963,
but the fact is that these activi-
ties are being expanded by $278
million, or more than 10 per cent,

THE THING FOR SPRING IS
DENIM'

"Welcome sweet springtime, I
greet thee In style," may easily
be your refrain this spring if
you've been watching the fashion
magazines, A brief glance will
give you Denim In various
kinds of apparel.

The most popular of the wear-
ing apparel In denim are the
skirts. They may be purchased
in the A-llne and fringe-
hemmed. Some of them come
complete with white stitch and
red accessory belts. Of course,
Jumpers, pants and Jackets are
available In this popular ma-
terial, too!

Railroad handkerchief blouses
are the things that complete the
denim ensembles. This wlsp-of-
a-blouse comes In bright red
with quarter-sized dots.

These two items, denim and
the bright red blouses, are lead-
ing the casual fashion list this
season. They are, without a
doubt, the "things for spring."

POEM OF THE MONTH

"Ecstasy"

By Veronica Lynne Owens
Two young lovers starry-eyed,

there on a moonlit beach;
Dreaming and oh, so satisfied.

as If Heaven were 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

"ECSTASY!"

As if by magic, music's heard

that roaring waves couldn't

even erase;
Too filled with love to utter a

word, they share their first

embrace.
The "fascinating rhythm" gay.

have both their souls

possessed;
The art of dancing they convey,

as they whirl with unusual

zest.
The tide emerging to the shore,

a sight they both admire.

Neither could ask for anything

more as their warmth becomes

desire.
Never let this moment end, both

make this silent plea;
A thought of love makes them

both grin, we love this

"ECSTASY!"

This "wonderland" they are con-
vinced Is an Ideal place for
romance.

They both become strangely
tense, give our "young love"
a chance.

There 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, "I'm at your com-
mand, my darling I love you,
too, . . .

Dreamy-eyed they said good-bye,
to this Paradise by the sea;

For. obviously. It was the rea-
son why they shared such
"ECSTASY!"

and enjoys sports and planning so-
cial affairs.

RUNNER-UP, at right, was Lottie
Shellman who came in very close in
the first balloting (76-71). Since
there were twelve candidates, and
since the total number of votes re-
ceived by Frankie Strickland and
Lottie Shellman was so close to being
equal, it was decided to have a spe-
cial run-off the following day. In
the final balloting, Lottie received
147 votes and Frankie received 160.

THE TIGER'S HOAR

(<:

Natioual Budget

mtiimcii Irom Page 3. Col. 4>

The apparent net reduction is
due to an increase in net receipts
of $423 million by the Export-
Import Bank resulting in the
main from anticipated private
sales of S540 million of loans it
holds in its portfolio. These sales
may prove more difficult in
realization than in budgeting.

5. Expenditures for the con-
duct of foreign affairs indicate
a reduction of $50 million but
this is more than accounted for
by the absence in 1964 of a one-
shot $100 million outlay for U.N.
bonds in 1963.

6, A reduction of $250 million
is shown for housing and related
programs but $150 million of this
results from an anticipated in-
crease from $49 million to $199
million in private sales of hous-
ing mortgages held by the
Federal National Mortgage As-
sociation.

According to Mr. Rinta's
analysis, the foregoing types of
budget reductions would appear
to provide a weak foundation on
which to base increases in other
nondefense activities with the
claim, as stated in the Presi-
dent's budget message, that ex-
penditures for purposes otlier
than defense, space and interest
are being held at the 1963 level.

The analysis further pointed
to a substantial increase in the
number of Federal civilian per-
sonnel. In a period of three years
and five months to the projected

end of the 1964 budget year, the
Coxmcil study noted that the
Kennedy Administration will
have increased Federal civilian
employment by more than
229.000.

What is the possibility of a tax
cut in the light of the spending
situation? Analyst Rinta notes
that the President's tax program
places primary emphasis on rate
reductions designed to increase
demand and. thus, energize the
economy. "In the deficit-tax re-
duction issue." he explains, "the
President and his advisers take
the position that the Govern-
ment will incur deficits the next
few years with or without tax
reduction, but that the budget
will sooner be in balance even
with rising expenditures if eco-
nomic growth is encouraged by
tax cuts."

"The need for tax rate reduc-
tions is so urgent that rates
should be cut promptly," the
Council study concludes, "but ex-
penditures should be controlled
at current levels. On this basis
a balanced budget could be ex-
pected within a year or two.
Certainly this position is an at-
tainable one if the Congress will
only give it a real try."

Evaluation of Foreie:ii Student
Programs Called For By Committee

Leading educators today en-
dorsed a call for U. S. colleges

and universities to re-examine
the philosophy, objectives and
operation of their foreign stu-
dent programs.

The Committee on the Foreign
Student in American Colleges
and Universities issued a 26-page
report telling the schools that
they must, among other things,
spend more money, cooperate
more closely with governments
and agencies which sponsor such
students, and place international
education "into its proper per-
spective" as a basic and essential
part of their educational mission.

The recommendations grew
out of several recent studies of
the foreign student situation.

such as the Higbee report ("The
Status of Foreign Student Ad-
vising in United States Univer-
sities and Colleges." by Homer
D. Higbee of Michigan State
University), which defined the
inadequacies of foreign student
programs in the nealiy 2,000
institutions which now enroll
foreign students.

The urgency of the need to im-
prove foreign student programs
is underlined by the recent in-
crease in the number of such
students, the Committee stresses.
"In 1961-62." the report states,
"there were more than 60.000
foreign students on United
States campuses- In one decade,
the number has increased by 75
per cent, and on the basis of the

"JACKIE GLEASON'S SHOW

present trend, the number will
exceed 100.000 in another 10
years,"

Members of the Committee
are: Dean E. G. Williamson, Uni-
versity of Minnesota, Chaiiman:
Francis J. Colligan, U. S. Depart-
ment of State; Dean Leo R.
Dowling, Indiana University;
Melvin J Fox. Ford Foundation;
Joe W. Neal. University of Texas;
Donald J, Shank. Institute of
International Education; and
Mrs. Julian Street, Jr.. New York
City.

The report, entitled, "The Col-
lege, the University and the For-
eign Student," says schools must
recognize the significance of
foreign students as basic and
essential parts of their educa-
tional mission, and points out
what the committee calls a "new
dimension of educational ex-
change." that of furthering the
development of emerging coun-
tries.

"In vigorously pursuing their
own primary goals the ad-
vancement and diffusion of
knowledge colleges and univer-
sities contribute also to a pri-
mary goal of United States for-
eign policy the preservation
and support of free nations
around the world," the authors
contend.

Specific recommendations of
the Committee include these:

The schools must strive for
greater cooperation among
themselves and with govern-
ments, foundations, interna-
tional organizations and other
agencies which sponsor foreign
students.

Admission policies must be re-
vised to put emphasis on ad-
mitting those students whose
basic objectives can be best
served. One consideration for
admission, the Committee con-
tends, should be the candidates'
potential contributions to their
countries' development.

"Prior competence in the Eng-
lish language should not be a
decisive criterion for admission,
but sufficient training in English
should be made available to
those who need it;" the report
asserts. The authors suggest that
a regional cooperative basis for
English training may be the
answer in many cases.

Orientation programs for for-
eign students must not only help
the student master the details of
living on the American campus,
but must also look to the long-
range objective of exposing the
student to American life to give
him an understanding of social
and political institutions and of
the "plurality and diversity"
within this country.

Closer cooperation between

Eat Today, For We
Starve Tomorrow?

Imagine finding yourself in a
strange city of 120,000 people
which has sprung up overnight
on vacant land.

Imagine pushing your way
through the crowded supermar-
kets, churches, and theaters to
the city's outskirts and finding
that another city of 120.000 souls
has sprung up during the four
hours it took you to explore the
first one.

Imagine walking through the
second city to discover that a
third mecca has sprung up be-
fore you could even reach the
outskirts of the second.

The cities are imaginary but
not the number of people.

New people are coming into
the world faster than you could
jostle your way through the
crowded streets which contain
them. In the future they will
come even faster.

An empty city the size of New
York would be completely popu-
lated in 10 days if the number
of people born in the world dur-
ing that tUne less the number
who died were added as In-
habitants.

We are now counted at 2'-
billion and adding to our num-
ber by 300 million a year. Where
will we find the extra food to
feed our grandchildren, our
great-grandchildren and their
children? Will they starve? Will
having a baby become taboo?
Will strict rationing be the order
of the day?

The answers to these questions
would appear to lie in the rate
of advancement we make In
nutrition and In agricultural
practices during the years aliend.

Recent work in nutrition Is re-
sulting in many interesting new
food products which should help
feed tomorrow's buigeonlng
population. Among them Is flsh-
flour, which neither tastes or
smells like fish, yet has much
food value. In Mexico it already
is being used In tortillas and
doughnuts. In Chile for bread
and soup.

In Nigeria press-cake the
residue left after oils have been
taken out of seeds provides
nibblers with a tasty morsel
made from peanuts. In the
Pacific the press-cake recipe
utilizes coconut Instead.

In Guatemala City, the Insti-
tute of Nutrition for Central
America has made a drink called
Incaparina. Incaparina. made of
corn, sorghum, and cottonseed
meal costs only three cents a
glass and equals three glasses
of milk in nutrition.

Agricultural Advances Most

Important

Important as these nutritional
gains are. however, the most
significant contributions In
meeting tomorrow's food needs
will undoubtedly have to come
from improved agricultural prac-
ties.

Americans are inclined to take
for granted their natural re-
sources, good health, and whole-
some food as a part of their
heritage. Little thought is given
to the constant battle taking
place in the production of food
and other resources and the pro-
tection of health from opposing
natural forces pests. Pesticides
are the important weapons used
against insects, diseases, weeds
and rodents in this struggle.
Scientists have recognized the
importance of pesticides and
have reported their conclusions.
One such report, from a special
committee of the National Re-
search Council, is as follows:

"No one knows exactly what
would happen if the use of
pesticidal chemicals on the farm
should be abandoned, but it Is
safe to say that we could not
commercially produce apples,
peaches, potatoes, citrus and
tomatoes, to mention only a few
crops, and yields of many others
would be drastically reduced. It
seems evident that the American
people can not be fed adequately
unless crops and livestock are

protected from insects and other
pests."

It is difficult to realize that
our forefathers suffered from
famine and that many deaths
were caused by pests in those
early days. The bubonic plague
In Europe and the great potato
famine are notable examples,
the former carried by Uce from
rats, the latter attributed to a
fungus called "late blight." As
recently as 1874, grasshoppers
caused damage so great In our
Middle West that Congress called
It a national disaster. And even
now much of the world stands
helplessly by while Insects. In-
sect-borne diseases and other
pests destroy their food supply
and threaten their health.

Says Stuart H. Bear, Vice
President of FMC Corporation
and Manager of Its Niagara
Chemical Division; "In light of
these recorded facts and
challenges posed by the promised
population explosion, recent out-
cries by certain groups In this
country to ban or drastically
limit the use of pesticides would
appear to be highly unrealistic
and even dangerous should they
result in more limiting legisla-
tion, Unknown to the average
American Is the fact that there
already are extensive Federal
laws which Insure scltenific and
tested proof of safety of agricul-
tural chemicals before they can
be sold for use In prodnctlon of
food and. further, place definite
restrictions on their use In order
to safeguard the public."

Great strides have been made
during the past 50 years as a
result of the use of a broad
spectrum of pesticide chemicals
and research Is in progress which
promises even greater progress,
according to Bear. He cites the
fact that many new develop-
ments are now underway and
others are still but a gleam in
scientists' eyes.

In the "future possibilities"
vein arc what might be called
virlcldes. There are many plant
diseases caused by viruses, and
as yet there are no chemical
means for controlling them.
Thus it seems feasible that con-
trols for this purpose might be
developed.

A chemical sterilent which
would cause insects to lay In-
fertile eggs Is still another idea
which it is believed might have
merit in man's future battle to
control farm pests.

CLUB &

^ / CAMPUS

FASHIONS

Often! thinlc the siiielemost'important item of clothing to a young
man on campus is his raincoat. College men have taken the raincoat
out of the strictly foul-weathei- calegoiy-nnd turned it into an all-
weather fashion. Today's young man uses his versatile raincoat as
an all-around, all-purpose coat. If you're in the market for a new
raincoat this Spring, you've got a lot to choose from.

THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT.is

.-ill onc-Hi(icd this sc;ison. The wurd for
this year's raincoat Icngth.s is brcvity~~
they measure knee length at their longest,
several inches shorter in the newest
models. At the shoulders, most are raglan
styled (the sleeve extends to the neckline
and has a slanting senmline from the
underarm to the neck in front and back).
Set-in sleeves are also on the scone, and
fly-front button closures are the rule.
Mfi-st Spring raincoats arc fitted with high-
b:d collars (military high-riser style) and
have slash pockets. In some areas of the
country, notably the East and West
coasts, the continentrd influence is show-
ing in raincoats with all-around or half
belts.

BLACK AND WHITE CONTRAST-Most

rainwear this Spring will be seen either
in very dark or very light shades. Black,
dark olive and dark blue are the colors on
the nether end of the rainwear spectrum,

with light natural shades, off-white, and pale olive providing the
bright spots. A dressy jet-black is a smart bet if you've got a few
formal occasions coming up. But patterns are on the move in popu-
larity, particularlyin muted plaids and checks. They're soft, sub-
dued patterns in contrast with the stark dark and light solids. In
contrast, linings are brassy and bold. Colorful stripes are the key-
note in the lightweight self-liner raincoats, and big bright plaid is
the idea in heavier, ?.ip-in linings for Winter-Wear raincoats.

THE RAIN IN SPAIN. ..or anyplace else, for that matter, soaks
through just about everything except the fabrics you'll find in the
newest rainwear. They're predominantly polyester and cotton
blends, all cotton poplin and cotton twill, polyesters and wool com-
binations, and all-wool gabardines. The important thing to you is
that enormous strides have been made in water repellency and stain
resistance, making the solid light colors practical and popular,

FADED BLUE DENIM... is the big color in rain jackets this Spring.
Ideally casual for campus wear, they're zippered up against the
weather, with plenty of room at the waist and oversized deep slash
pockets in which to bury your hands. Generally' they're plain-bot-
tomed, but some have a parka-type drawstring below the waist.
Linings run from light cotton blends and laminated plaids bonded
to the inside of the shell to deep fleece and quilts for extra warmth.

THE HOBO HAT. ..which we introduced in this column a few
months ago, has made its mark in rainwear this Spring. A simple
cone of processed cotton, it reverses to a felt-like material for fair-
weather wear. It can be turned, pulled, yanked and folded into any
shape that suits you. When you change your mind, change your hat,
with a few twists of the wrist,

strong and continuing interest
in student self-government.
Throughout his life, he worked
for the development of citizen-
ship through self-government in
schools and colleges and was an
outstanding civil leader in New
York City, doing much to Im-
plement his ideas there.

The National Self-Government
Committee, Inc. continues Rich-
ard Welling's work and seeks to

The members of a functional
mathematics class at Savannali
State College have published a
mimeographed booklet entitled,

the purpose of the manuscript
is " to acquaint and re-

new the basic steps in solving
mathematical problems which

problems, examples, illustra-
tions, solutions, etc., were com-
piled and edited by the students
during the winter quarter as a
final term project for the
course.

Containing 33 pages of regu-
lar 8ij" X 11" size, the booklet
touches on several areas of
mathematics and somewhat re-
sembles a professional manu-
script in that clear, concise
graphic and verbal illustrations
appear on each topic in a step-
by-step order.

To undertake a project such
as this would be quite easy, but
to get the finished product "off

certain amounts of sound-think-

Savannah State College began
celebrating its Sixteenth Annual
Men's Festival on Friday. April
5, and the activities continued
through April 11.

The Men's Festival Committee
voted to cast aside tradition in
this year's program by beginning
its activities on Friday instead of
Sunday. The activities began
with the presentation of the
Morehouse College Men's Glee
Club, under the direction of Al-
bert T, Perkins, on Friday in
Meldrim Auditorium.

Before the celebration began,
Nelson R. Freeman, Dean of
Men stated. "Speeches for this
celebration will be made by two
outstanding men who have ex-
celled in the fields of business,
religion, music, and education,"

pleted, the idea of writing a book
was conceived and it was agreed
that the undertaking would be
a Joint effort on the part of all
members of the class, certain
committees were formed.

The "Thinking Committee"
was the core of the project, and
its members were charged more
or less with the responsibility of
steering the undertaking
through its various steps of de-
velopment. This was done by
taking suggestions from class
members at regular intervals
and allowing them from time to
appraise the progress of the
entire effort as the work went
along. This committee co-
ordinated the work at all levels
of development.

Of course there was typing to
be done, proofs to be read, and
records to be kept. These duties
were performed by the Typing
Committee, Proofreading Com-
mittee, and Recorder, respec-
tively.

The student authors admit
frankly in the introduction that
their knowledge of mathematics
is limited, but go on to say , .
"we feel that by deep concentra-
tion and liberal understanding
the reader should gain invalu-
able information and a working
knowledge of even more complex
problems which will undoubtedly
present themselves in the fu-
ture."

Mrs. Sylvia E, Bowen. assist-
ant professor of mathematics
and the instructor of the func-
tional math class last quarter,
stated that she was very much
impressed with the entire effort
and was especially delighted by
the way the students carried
the project from start to finish
with almost no outside help.

Education, said that "the role of
the United States in world af-
fairs demands a citizenry that is
at least bi-lingual."

Speaking on an assembly pro-
gram sponsored by the Depart-
ment of Foreign Languages, Bos-
tick pointed out that the Fed-
eral Government through the
National Defense Education Act
of 1958 has made provisions for
89 foreign language institutes in
the V. S- and abroad. Money
spent for institutes, fellowships
and scholarships and research
totaled $15 million for the year
1962.

Bostick said that in the state
of Georgia some 50,000 elemen-

tary school children are now
learning foreign languages and
this figure may double when the

MAN OF THE YEAR AWARD
MADE

Also presented at this hour
was the coveted plaque desig-
nating as "Man of the Year"
the student whose achievements
and contributions to the school
and community have been most
significant. This recognition is
one of the major highlights of
this annual celebration.

The aims of the Men's Festival
are to promote finer manhood,
help prepare men to shoulder
the heavy responsibilities of a
democratic society through par-
ticipation In wotthwhile activ-
ities, and to help prepare men
for leadership responsibilities
throughout the world.

Bobby Hill, an economics
major from Athens, Georgia,
won first place. After graduation
In June, Hill plans to enroll at
New York University as a law
student.

Second place went to Charles
McMillan, a native of Savannah
who Is majoring in mathematics
here at Savannah State. In order
to win the award, the successful
candidate must have received
votes from three-fourths of the
men voting. All six candidates
received votes from three-
fourths of those voting.

The six men nominated to re-
ceive the award were Norman B.
Elmore, senior; Bobby Hill,
senior; Lawrence Hutchins,
senior; Leander Merritt, junior,
and Charles McMillan, senior.

Final activity of the celebra-
tion was an evaluation lunch-
eon-meeting in Adams Hall at
noon Thursday, the 11th.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

April. 1963

The Tiger's Roar Staff

ELMER THOMAS. Editor

DENNIS POLITE, Bus. Mgr.

EDITORIAI.

An attempt by the faculty advlaer of the Sixteenth Annual
Men's Festival to free the election of the Man of The Year from
the usual lobbying effects of various campus factions is certainly
a step in the right direction.

In spite of these efforts it seems that the men still continued)
to put fraternal ties above what is supposed to be the real purpose
and objective of the yearly celebration.

From the outset, even within one hour after a policy of non-
fratcrnallsm was called for by the adviser, the men proceeded to
elect officers in a manner very much like what has thus far been
the custom along fraternal lines.

In view of the fact that the election of student council officers
and campus queens will take place within a few weeks, we should
be especially careful In seeing to it that the most qualified persons
are nominated and elected.

One very strong advocate of the tactics used in campus poli-
tics during past elections defends the practice on grounds that his
fraternal brothers are "always most qualified" otherwise they
would not be backed by the rest of the brothers, He did not stop
there, but went on to say that under no circumstance would he vote
against his brother and completely dismissed the possibility of a
candidate not in the clique of campus politics being more qualified
than his brother.

It would be very difficult to find something more ridiculous.

Looking at the issue for what its worth, we find that the whole
situation is something akin to the present-day and quite famous
philosophy of one group which holds that the members of another
group are always incompetent and unable to hold positions where
different kinds of skills and abilities are necessary.

If there is one thing that campus politics at Savannah State
needs, it is to be cleansed of nil such outside effects as the situation
described in the preceding paraf;-aphs.

WHAT IN THE WORLD
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

By Bobby L. Hill

The calibre of conversation
that transpires within a group.
state, or nation is a clear indi-
cator of the character of tlie
people within. Conversation is
an equal measure of intelligence,
success, and potentiality.

Only through rationalization
can one claim tliat the conver-
sation at Savannah State Col-
lege is par for a supposedly "in-
tellectual monastery." The mere
fact that college students spend
more time among students than
among instructors is a vote for
the importance of high calibre
conversation in student circles.
The discussion carried on by
students while eating, resting, or
waiting is of paramount impor-
tance in today's "Push-button"
oriented world. The value of
tliis conversation is coupled with
the value of your dollar, your fu-
tui-e, and even the degree re-
ceived from Savannah State Col-
lege.

At Savannah State College,
one seeking an Educational
and rewarding conversation by
browsing in the library; sitting
in the college center; or visiting
in one of the dormitories, with-
out doubt, bends an ear in vain.
An unbiased evalution of the
conversation at Savannah State
College must be described as "at
a low ebb" or "nil." Both condi-
tions are permeating.

"What in the world are you
talking about" must be of great
concern to those who look to

the college for leadersliip at a
time when global war is pend-
ing; living costs is rising; com-
munism is spreading: automa-
tion is emerging; race problems
are mounting; and many other
events are affecting us either
negatively or positively. Where
negative effects are inevitable
a best defense is knowledge of
the problems. To acquire this
important knowledge, one must
read, study, and exchange ideas.
This "idea exchange" is best fa-
cilitated by informal discussion
or conversation with those of
equal or greater knowledge.

Savannah State College stu-
dents have an urgent and col-
lective obligation to alter,
change, and shift their modes of
conversation. No longer can
fruitless gab passing across the
table tops in the ''Rec" degrade
and devalue the entire institu-
tion. Not one minute more can
one wearing the SSC insignia sit
and talk in language indicative
of grade school "dropouts." We
cannot afford to discuss trivial
issues when pertinent ones gov-
ern our very existence.

Every individual here has a
duty to rebel today against fruit-
less unrewarding conversation
that is "full of sound and fury
signifying nothing."

Instructors, students, and or-
ganizations must raise and
answer the question. "What in
the world are you talking about
at Savannah State College."

QUIPS

For three days the girls wait
for the night of the big dance
featuring the famous jazz band.
Their escorts arrive and they
can hardly wait to get on the
dance floor. Gee but their
evenings were spoiled! Their es-
corts spent most of the evening
standing around the band.

One reason they put men's
faces on money is that women
are satisfied just to get their
hands on it.

In a conversation out of class,
one can't get in a word for the
person who has an answer for
every question, knows about ev-
erything and is always right.
About the subject matter in
class, this very person knows
nothing and hears nothing.

A student gets in line with
about twelve students ahead of
him to register. When he finally
reaches the window after stand-
ing for approximately a half
hour, the window is closed. The
student then has to start at the
other end of the line.

President Is Seekiii>;
National Service Corps

'From the Peace Corps
Volunteer)

Designed to Serve Community
Needs in the United States

The formation of a national
service corps to meet pressing
American social needs has been
recommended by President Ken-
nedy.

Acting on the report of a"
Cabinet-level task force set up to
study the desirability of such a
service corps, the President told
Congress in his State of the
Union message:

"The overseas success of our
Peace Corps Volunteers, most of
them young men and women
carrying skills and ideals to
needy people, suggests the merit
of a similar corps serving our
own community needs: in
mental hospitals, on Indian
reservations, in centers for the
aged or for young delinquents,
in schools for the illiterate or the
handicapped. As the idealism of
our youth has served world
peace, so can it serve the
domestic tranquility."

Response Predicted

Findings of the task force in-
dicate tliat American citizens
from college students to retired
persons would respond to a call
to increase the potency of volun-
teer-service organizations.

The report foresees that the
national service corps might thus
spur millions of other Americans
into volunteer work to meet the
most critical social needs:
health, education, recreation,
and urban-or rural-community
development.

The President's task force
recommended a program of 200
to 500 corpsmen to start v/ork
this year, an increase to 1,000
within a year and to 5.000 within
three years.

Like the Peace Corps Volun-
teers abroad, national service
corpsmen would go only to com-
munities to which they had been
invited. These communities
would be expected to plan and
organize support programs which
would ultimately release corps-
men for service elsewhere

The age minimum for national
service corpsmen would be 18,
They would serve for one year,
with an option to sign up for a
second. They would receive a
living allowance and nominal
termination pay.

Interest in inviting service
corpsmen has come from several
sources, among them. South
Dakota's Ogallala Sioux, who
need assistance in housing de-
velopment and irrigation; the
state of Kentucky, which would
like town-redevolpment assist-
ance: and the state of Massa-
chusetts, wliich would like corps-
ment to work in institutions for
the retarded and for the
mentally ill.

Gallup Poll Report

The Gallup Poll recently re-
ported that 62 per cent of per-
sons questioned on the issue be-
lieved that Congress should
make funds available for a na-
tional service corps. Opposed
were 22 per cent, and 16 per cent
had no opinion.

The Gallup Poll reported that
a typical comment on the issue
came from a 49-year-old retired
soldier in Omaha: "Let's do a
little repair work in our own
back yard."

A Letter From The Student Council Presentation of "Jazz Mass'

Stirs Campus Controversy

Dear Fellow Students:

In this edition we have a very
important matter to discuss
which I think concerns all of
us as collegians. This is the
matter of the annual student
elections. I have heard and I. am
sure you have too. many un-
desirable things that your fellow

students are planning to do dur-
ing our forthcoming election
period to make it everything but
successful.

We must learn now that we, as
college students, can participate
in an election without slinging
mud and maligning those who
are running for office. Would

Raymond Johnson Gives Connnents
On Atheism and Religions Faith

By Elmer Thomas

I was tired and I'm sure he
was too after the long walk up
to Sheppard's Lake.

Raymond Johnson sat down,
took off his shoes, and paused
for a minute to rest his weary
feet.

While sitting there the spar-
kling water on the lake caught
his attention, then his eyes
moved about from the trees in
bloom in an easterly direction,
toward the clearing in the trees
where the Sun was about to rise.
"Wondrous world, isn't it, boy?"
"Quite wondrous, sir." I re-
plied.

"You know, scientists claim
that modern man has been on
this earth for more than 200,000
years and with all the knowl-
edge he has gained in that
length of time, the mystery of
the origin of things is still as
puzzling as it was when old Nee
roamed through these parts."
"Nee?"

"Neanderthal man that's
what the archeologists and his-
torians call him

I smiled slightly and laughed
hallowly.

Yes sir, many great
minds have pondered over the
question of whether or not some-
body's up there pulling the
strings or not. Some say that
he started the wheels to turn-
ing and then left the whole
thing alone. Some say that what
I'm saying now and what
you're thinking now are just a
few lines in the universal
drama."

"Then there are the oth-
ers
"The others, sir?"

Yes. those who for some
reason or another say that this
all began with an accident no
String-Puller no Regulator-
just a long chain of actions and
reactions stemming from some
physical occurance eons of cen-
turies ago. I guess their's would
be about the soundest explana-
tion if they could explain the
first reaction."

"One thing that has alway.s
puzzled me. Mr, Johnson, is
whether or not the entities of
Free Will' and 'Divine Provi-
dence' can exist simultaneously,"
He looked at me with a ques-
tion mark in his eyes, then
stated; "I'm not so sure I under-
stand you, son."

"Well how is it possible for
the Almighty to know exactly
what is going to happen in the
future of the world and men.
at the same time, have the
opportunity to choose be
tween courses of actions in dif-
ferent situations. To illustrate
my point, suppose I was a gang-
ster by profession, and I am just
casually walking around in the
bank building. It seems that
after I 'size up the situation' I
might or might not decide to rob
the place. In fact it seems that
there would be an endless num-
ber of things I might decide to
do maybe even apply for a
loan. If the Almighty knows in
advance that I'm going to take
a particular course of action, it
seems that I don't have much of
a choice in deciding what do do."
Just then a turtle appeared
from behind a tree and moved
along past us. Mr. Johnson
picked up an old bottomless tin
tub and encircled the creature.

He then attempted to answer
my question in the following
manner:

"If this rascal doesn't climb
over the sides of the tub, I can
pretty well direct his course. At
the same time, he can make a
few decisions too. To a certain
extent, his free will and regu-
latory actions can exist simul-
taneously."

I then began to wonder why I
didn't think of it in that way.

"Good heavens, its half past
eleven, don't you think its about
time for us to be on our way.
Fifty miles is a long ways to
walk. We'd better leave now if
we're going to get back home."

you like lor your name to be
the subject of a heated contro-
versy or an undesirable scandal?
If you answer in the negative,
then, I am confident that no
one else would either.

So. this month during our col-
lege-wide election period, let's
do everything humanly possible
to make this the cleanest and
most fruitful election in the liis-
tory of Savannah State College.
Students remember to vote for
the candidates by their qualifi-
cations and not for biased and
maligned reasons. If your friends
are in contention for the office
of Student Council President or
"Miss Savannah State College"
and you don't think they are
qualified, cast your all-im-
portant ballot for the persons
whom you feel will represent you
and project the college's image
in the best possible manner at
all times.

Again. I caution you. Vote with
integrity and pride. Don't be
side-tracked by petty differences
and emotions. Remember human
relations are often severed by
vicious tongues.

Sincerely,

Norman B. Elmore,

President

WAVERLY. la. H.P.) How
does a college-age youth react
when confronted for the first
time by a radical departure from
the traditional in sometlilng so
personal as a church service on
campus? No definite answer can
be given to that question, of
course, but it does appear that
collegians are pretty resilient.

Few convocations, including
an appearance of a member of

In fact, there was so much stir
that college convo officials de-

A Touch of All Artist

Work of Tompkins High Students
Impressive to Intern Teacher

By Veronica Lynne Owens
The nation's high school class-
rooms of today are literally bub-
bling over with budding and
original talent. Certainly, the
high schools in Savannah are no
exception to this rule. One In
particular that is noted for its
outstanding Wolverine football
team, is currently proving that
talent at their school is not an
ephemeral attribute.

During this Spring season at
Tompkins High School, visible
evidence can be seen of a "touch
of an artist" at work. A modest
male student presently enrolled
at the school is certainly indica-
tive of the preceding classic
phrase. This young man's ar-
tistic ability is, unmistakably,
innate. This is mainly true be-
cause he draws with the skill,
depth and insight of a profes-

sionally trained artist even
though he is young in years.
Even a cursory glance at some
of his work reveals that his
lines, dimensions and profiles
have method in their arrange-
ment. And above all, his spe-
cialty seems to be accentuation
and intricate detailing.

Consequently, valid evidence
of his specialty may be seen in
an attractive English Literature
bulletin board display in one of
his classes. The eye-catching
bulletin board depicts some of
the leading characters in The
Canterbury Tales venturing to
their destination, Tabard Inn,
The display is sketched in cut-
out form and each character
seems to be animate and able to
communicate with the viewers.
However, this young man's

originality and uniqueness, by
no means climaxes with his
drawing ability. His ideas, too,
are quite original. This fact is
exemplifited by his original and
quite appropriate bulletin board
title. The Canterbury Trail.

The talented, young artist has
been drawing since his early
childhood. It is apparent that
with each passing year this
young man's ability In art has
become refined and polished like
a fine jewel. This means that
the future is the only thing that
may reveal whether or not this
Tompkins High Scliool senior
will be another Rembrandt, Da
Vinci or Reuben, It must be
remembered, however, that
possibilities for advancement are
unlimited wherever there Is a
"touch of an artist. . . ."

CHEMISTRY CAREER DAY

One hundred and twenty high
school students attended the
Chemistry Career Day program
sponsored by the chemistry de-
partment on March 22,

Chemistry Career Day was de-
signed to acquaint high school
seniors with the many opportu-

nities available in the field of
chemistry.

Idella Glover, Freida Brewton.
Leander Merritt, John Kight, Ida
Dukes and Theresa Smart, all
chemistry majors, spoke briefly
to the visitors on what the de-
partment had to offer, jobs in

one and to add any remarks

they wished.

Choices were: 1. As music it is
alright, but as an aid to worship
It contributes little or nothing;
2, I'm all for it. I feel that wor-
ship is very possible with this
music; 3. I don't feel that there
is anything good to be said about
it either musically or spiritually,
Of the 130 returned, 67 checked
number one; 57 checked number
two, only one checked number
three; and five checked none of
the three, Instead adding exten-
sive remarks of their own.

All of the latter seemed to feel
this type of liturgy would be ef-
fective In tlie proper area, where
Jazz Is thoroughly accepted and
enjoyed" or "on special occa-
sions." One student said. "I be-
lieve that this type of worship
experience would he wonderful
occasionally. However, it re-
peated too often it would not
only become meaningless, but
even monotonous because of the
same rhythm, tones, etc.." the
same criticism frequently leveled
against present forms of ritual.

Of the 67 colleges who checked
number one. only one felt the
"Mass" was sacrilegious. Many
agreed that It could be used only
on special occasions or that it
would be a long time before
churches would accept it. A few
of those who indicated they were
all for the new liturgy also had
some reservations, but the ma-
jority felt it had something new
to say; something important to
add to the worship experience.

Junior CoUcjies
In lUv Sonlli

Today there are in the United
States approximately 700 two-
year colleges of all types. About
60 per cent of them are public
and 40 per cent are private.

More than one-third of the
nation's publicly supported com-
munity junior colleges are found
in three states Florida, Cali-
fornia and Texas. Most of the
privately supported ones are
located in eastern and southern
states.

Private junior colleges in the
South usually place major em-
phasis on academic courses with
little or no emphasis on terminal
programs. They are dependent
on income from tuition, contri-
butions and endowments. Public
junior community colleges
should include terminal, tech-
nical, vocational programs and
many kinds of adult education
and community services.

Community colleges, if avail-
able in the South, could offer
opportunities for post-high
school education to students of
all types who will or can not at-
tend college away from home.

There is conclusive evidence
that the percentage of high
school graduates who continue
their education is much larger in
communities where community
colleges are located than in
those where they are not.

also on various topics related to

AFRICA'S SiiY Mimi mm them to leue iiuLCiiRiii

LEIDEN Three National
Unions of Students from Africa
have recently issued statements
on the maltreatment of African
students in Bulgaria, and their
subsequent flight from the coun-
try.

Nearly one hundred students
from thirteen African countries
have now left Bulgaria accord-
ing to the latest figures com-
piled by the Coordinating Secre-
tariat of National Unions of Stu-
dents, the administrative agency
of the International Student
Conference.

The students left as a result
of racial discrimination, poor
living conditions and the Bul-
garian government's refusal to
allow the formation of an All-
African Students' Union lAASU)
in the country. Reports com-
piled from National Unions of
Students and other sources Indi-
cate that a minimum of 93 stu-
dents have now either voluntar-
ily left or been deported for their
activities in the formation of the
AASU. These include 28 from
Ghana, 23 from Kenya, 7 from

Ethiopia, 2 from Guinea, one
each from Angola, South West
Africa. Tunisia and Zanzibar
and at least 11 from Nigeria, 6
from Somalia, 5 from Togo, 4
from Niger and 3 from Mall.
Unconfirmed reports Indicate
that 3 students from Algeria
have left as well. A number of
other students are reliably re-
ported to wish to leave, provid-
ing arrangements can be made
for their departures.

In a letter addressed to the
National Union of Bulgarian
Students, the Students' Union of
the Royal College, Nairobi, stated
that "in our view, tlie Bulgarian
authorities are guilty of disre-
garding the social grievances of
the African students in your
country and, therefore, guilty of
grievances the racial discrimina-
tion to which our fellow African
students have been subjected by
the students and people of Bul-
garia We condemn the
complicity of your National
Union of Students for failing to
represent the grievances of the
African students to the Bul-
garian authorities."

Il'^s Time lo Make a Shift Into Spring

By Veronica Lynne Owens

IT'S TIME TO MAKE A

"S-S-S-H-I-F-T" INTO SPRING.

"New. new and ultra-new!"
That's what high-fashion Spring
designers like St. Laurent are
screaming this season. However,
at times, they are in disputed
fervor over exactly where you
coeds' waistlines should be. But,
there is one new faslilon item
that they all agree is fabulous
and provocative. That high-
fashion item just happens to b^^
the sassy, swirly, dream-of-a
"Shift" that you've heard so
mucli about. Why so dreamy?
Well, it is because It has the
distinction of being one of the
most attractive, comfortable and
durable garments introduced
this Spring,

Fashionably speaking, tlie new
"Shift" is the answer to every
female's prayer. Just tlilnk of
it, , , The easy, flowing lines
of the "Shift" make it possible
for it to be worn by all figures
and heights. In the sheath styles,
you will find that some of the
dresses are nipped in at the
waistline and some others are
full and boxy. There's still
another style that you may pur-
chase in the foxy "Shift." This
group is composed of flare,
wrap - around skirts complete
with narrow sashes to flatter
your waistiines-

The "Shift" dress is designed
mainly for leisure, casual and
street wear. Adding to the
fashion appeal of this swingy,
new garmet Is the kaleidoscopic
color sclieme from which you
have to select. You may be
wondering, "just what are the
popuiar colors?" Well, girls, you
name it and you'll find it. Every
color and hue of the rainbow is
seen in the "Shift." It may be
purchased in such leading
fabrics as seersucker, denim,
poplin, hopsacking. sailcloth,
terrycloth. linen, twill, gingham.
cord and synthetic blends. So.
coeds, if you want to be "in" on
the latest fashion trend and fad,
you simply cannot let another
day go by without making your
"S-S-S-H-I-F-T" into Spring!

Other cute and saucy style.-
that have been introduced thi.^
Spring season , are the f la rf ,
back-wrap skirts. Simply "ador-
able" they are! Most of them aro
cut in the famous A-line that
accentuates and complement.s
youthful figures. This new look
in the casual skirt has invaded
college campu.ses everywhere and
caught on like wild fire. It's
ea.sy to understand why since
the flare, wrap-around skirts do
feature a "new look." Other out-

standing features of these skirts
are tlie self-belts, slim, leather
belts and narrow, matching
cords.

In addition to being attractive
on tlie outside, the wrap-around
skirt also features hidden
beauty. Tlijs merely means that
some of the skirts are lined with
bright cotton material. And
what, I ask you, can be more
daring and provocative than just
a "whisper of exposure?" They
also feature a minimum of
buttons that don't quite make it
to the hemline. This accounts for
the peek-a-boo exposure effect.

And, of course, we know that
tliese skirts cannot be worn
alone. To complete the casual
outfit, however, pert and smart
little blouses have been intro-
duced. A few that are included
in this group are checked, ging-
ham blouses. These feature the
modest Peter-pan collar and
roll-up sleeves. Another popular
style is the classic shirtwaist
blouse. They feature the soft
convertible collar and cuffed,
three-quarter length sleeves.
Those are just a few available
styles in blouses. And just think,
tliey all may be yours simply for
the asking.

Spring, the fashions, and you!
Those are the perfect ingredients
for all of you coeds to blend to
achieve a supreme delight in the
fashion world this Spring. So,
while you start to mix your
recipe, until next issue. I will re-
main very "Fashionably Yours."

"Having now read the Consti-
tution of the projected All-Afri-
can Students' Union of Bul-
garia." states the president of
the National Union of Ghana
Students (NUGS) in a letter to
the Bulgarian ambassador in
Accra, "there can be no doubt
that the union was intended to
be nothing more than a genuine
student organization to give ex-
pression to African student opin-
ion in Bulgaria and to foster bet-
ter relations between the Afri-
can students and the people of
Bulgaria." Commenting on ra-
cial discrimination in Bulgaria,
the president of NUGS went on
to "protest in the strongest pos-
sible terms against the con-
tempt, disrespect, indignity and
inhumanity with which the Af-
rican Students in Bulgaria were
treated," and to "call upon tlie
Government of Bulgaria to take
every possible step to end racial
discrimination in the socialist
state of Bulgaria,"

Finally, in an open letter to
African students in Bulgaria,
the National Union of South Af-
rican Students (NUSASI states
that "NUSAS, which knows from
experience wliat the evil of ra-
cialism can do to a society, and
which knows the difficulties that
an organization such as the All-
African Students' Union in Bul-
garia faces when it is disliked by
the authorities and when it i
persecuted, wishes to convey its
solidarity to African students
who have left or who want to
leave Bulgaria Now that

the union has been outlawed and
its leaders presecuted and im-
prisoned,

The Seminar in Elementary
Curriculum is a course designed
to acquaint the students with
ideas, methods, and techniques
used in teaching the Language
Arts, Social Studies, Arithmetic,
and Science in the elementary
school.

The picture below shows a
group of students, in the
Seminar in Elementary Curri-
culum class, dramatizing an
excerpt from the adventures of
Robin Hood. This Project was
one of six planned by the stu-
dents under the direction of the
instructor to acquaint the stu-
dents with various types of
children's literature to enable
the prospective elementary
school teachers to teach the
Language Arts more effectively.
Also, to help the students de-
velop more knowledge and skill
in the Language Arts area, the
students are doing creative

writings and developing poetry
files.

In order that the students may
develop more knowledge and
skills in all phases of the course,
the students pretend that they
are actually a faculty. Their
classroom appears to be one that
may be actually found in an
elementary school. Of course the
faculty has inservice teachers'
meetings wherein all of the
teachers, at different grade
levels, compete in presenting
materials in a unique fashion to
their colleagues. These presenta-
tions are based on extensive
reading and research in each of
the four phases of the course.

The student,s in Education 341,

Awards by the Woodrow Wil-

tion are made possible through
grants totaling $52 million from
the Ford Foundation which since
1957 has supported the expanded
Woodrow Wilson Fellowship pro-
gram.

Most of this year's Fellowship
winners are in the Humanities
or Social Sciences, but there are
also 309 scientists among them.

In order that those winning
honorable mention may be
chosen to receive alternate
awards from universities or
other sources, their names are
now being circulated among the
graduate schools of the United
States and Canada.

In addition to awarding first
year Fellowships for graduate
study, the Woodrow Wilson Na-
tional Fellowship Foundation
has two other programs: 1, Sub-
ventions to graduate, schools
where Fellows are enrolled, to
augment funds available to the
schools for the support of gradu-
ate students beyond the first
year, and 2. Dissertation Fel-
lowships to former Woodrow
Wilson Fellows in the Humani-

years or less.

University Official
Proposes Elimination
Of Student Elections

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, (IP)
In an open letter to the Uni-
versity of Chattanooga's student
body president. Dr. August
Eberle, University Provost, and
Chairman of the Regulations
Committee, suggested the possi-
bility of eliminating student
elections.

Dr. Ebeiie recommended that
campus politics be reorganized
in such a manner that the hold
of social organizations will be
broken, saying, "It is the feeling
of the Committee that the accu-
mulation of election evils centers
around the domination of stu-
dent government by social or
ganizations and the consequent
bitter rivalry at elections."

Dr. Eberle stated that the
members of the Regulations
Commitee were very anxious for
"... procedures (to) be changed
to provide for new and unifying
campus political alignments,"
He also stated that the members
of the committee would be glad
to assist in any way possible if
such assistance was desired.

As an individual, Dr, Eberle
said that he intended , . , to rec-
ommend to the Regulations
Committee, to the administra-
tion, and to the faculty that stu-
dent elections be abolished un-
less there is immediate drastic
improvement in the carrying out
of elections and until such time
as there is good evidence that
the students are carrying out
successfully these self-govern-
ing activities."

Noted Educator
To Speak Here
During Library
Celebration

The Savannah State College
Library will open Us National
Library Week activities with a
lecture by the noted American
educator and scholar. Dr. Harold
Taylor, former president of
Sarah Lawrence College, on
Sunday afternoon. April 21. at
5 p-m. in the College Library.

Dr. Taylor is the author of
more than 200 articles in book.s
and journals of philosophy and
education; he is an editor,
teacher of philosophy and the
author of Art and the Intellect
and On Education and Freedom,
his major work to date. It was
while teaching philosophy over
a period of six years at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin that Dr.
Taylor first became interested in
experimental education and in
the modern educational ideas
with which he later became
identified at Sarah Lawrence
College.

Harold Taylor is an educator
who practices what he preaches.
During the McCarthy period he
was a vigorous leader in the
fight for the freedom of univer-
sities and teachers, and through-
out his career has taken a
prominent role in the struggle
against racial and religious in-
tolerance. He has consistently
tried out his educational ideas
in practice, both in the class-
room, in the Wisconsin and
Sarah Lawrence student bodies,
and in the community. His
articles, speeches and television
appearances have received na-
tional attention and have dealt
with the major political and
social controversies of his
generation. While administering
Sarah Lawrence College and in-
creasing the range of its edu-
cational experiments in music,
theater and dance, in graduate
education, teacher preparation,
children's theater and music,
adult education and foreign
studies he remained closely in
touch, as a teacher, not only
with the students and faculty
at Sarah Lawrence College, but
with students and scholars in
every part of the United States
and many foreign countries.

After serving for fourteen
years as the President of Sarah
Lawrence College, Dr. Taylor re-
tired from his post in August
195D to devote himself once more
to teaching and writing. Sin:e
then he has travelled in Asia
and Russia under a special grant
from the Ford Foundation to
confer with political leaders, in-
tellectuals, educators, students,
artists and writers about the
Asian countries- Since his return
to this country. Dr. Taylor has
been lecturing at colleges and
universities and writing tv/o
books, Art and Education and
Education and Social Chang^e,
and is conducting a study of the
feasibility of founding a world
university. He is a trustee of the
Putney School and of the Insti-
tute for International Order,
chairman of the National Re-
search Council on Peace
Strategy, a dii-ector of the Peace
Research Institute in Washing-
ton and vice chairman of the
National Committee to Support
the Public Schiols.

Dr. Taylor's lecture will be en-
titled, "Reading, Writing and
Thinking,"

DePauw Students Give to Freedom Fund

PHILADELPHIA The Student
government of DePauw Univer-

National Student Association
this week that It had raised
$2,500 in two days for USNEA's
"African Student Freedom

Fund" designed to provide trans-

African students who recently
left Bulgaria charging racial dis-
crimination and suppression of
the democratic right to organize

QJLU7S.^&.

The average college man wheels around in slacks and sports jackets
every day and most nights. But when the big denl or the big date
comes upfind it always does he has to have that all-important
"dress-up suit." With Spring definitely in the air, and young men's
fancies starting to wheel and deal, let's take a look at suits on the
Spring nntl Summer scene,

WELCOME BACK TO LINEN nebounding in fashion importance
this Spring is the llax suit natural linen in natural shades. Most
of these classic warm-weather suits are cut on natural shoulder
lines, with straight-hanging jackets, narrow notched lapels, cen-
ter vents and, naturally, tapered trousers. The natural, neutral
tones of linen will go anywhere you go in style and they're a
natural fr.r dress-up wear straight through Spring and Summer.

BLUES BLOW COOL colors are dark this Spring, headlined by
blues and blue-grays in sharkskins and muted plaids with deep
casts. You'll also spot some dark blue unfinished worsted, light-
weight flannels and serges for those definitely dress-up. after-dark
occasions. And cool is the word on suiting materials. They're light,
including blends of worsteds and polyesters that are comfortable,
porous and dressy, The accent is on light, cool, comfortable fit for
the warm weather months ahead.

SUMMER'S SUNDRY STRIPES-see.-

sucker sets the pace this Summer. This
traditicnal hot-weather-wear feature has
usually been seen in the traditional seer-
sucker white and light-colored stripes,
But new deep and dark stripes and light-
toned seersucker plaids are on the scene
for the first time this year, and they're a
good bet to steal the "how. T?ke a look at
the spiead of seersucker colors both
stripes and plaids in classic all-cotton
lightiveights and the new Summer-weight
polyester and cotton blends. They're
bright, light and right for Summer.

PICKING UP THE TAB-Way out m front

in dress-shirt popularity with young men
is the snap-tab collar. Gleaming white
broadcloth shirts, with barrel cuffs and
tabbed collars, are your best bet for
dress-up occasions. Less formal are white
oxford tab collars and medium-spread col-
lar white oxford button-downs, both with
barrel cuffs.

TIEING IT UP No young man's wardrobe is complete without a
spread of regimental stripes on his tie rack they're right for any
occasion, short of a formal dinner. Figures this Spring are seen in
muted prints and small, subdued designs against deep, dark back-
grounds. For a change of pace, and for wear with your new wide-
striped shirts, take a look at the narrow solid knits that are return-
ing to fashion favor,

THE ONE-MAN COMBO ...is not the name of a swinging jazz solo,
but a chie to the return of another fashion concept matching and
related tie and handkerchief sets. You can choose a related color
breast pocket handkerchief, picking up one of the colors in your
tie or take your cue from the new Continental matching sets
that duplicate-the designs, both stripes and figures, in both the tie
and handkerchief.

GEniNG TO THE BOTTOM OF THINGS ...is the.qukkest .iy to

find out what's news in shoes. You're always dressed well in a pair
of smooth-grained black slip-ons. Mocassin design, with a moder-
ate wing-tip, is the most popular model, and jet-black is the per-
fect underpinning for this Spring's black, dark gray and dark
blue suits.

ON TOP OF THE FASHION NEWS. ..for

Spring and Summer is new lightweight
headgear. Narrow snap brims are the rule
in felt hats. Intermediate to dark shades
of gray and olive will coordinate with
your new Spring tailored wear. Nearly
needless to say, your hat completes the
picture of the well-dressed young man,
particulaVly so on any dress-up occasion.

THE SPRING SPORTSWEAR SCENE. ..is ti,6 subject for next

month's column. We'll take a look at the news in Sport Jackets,
Slack-s, Sport Shirts and Sport Ilats. See you then.

Said Robert Kotey, 25-year-old
student of agriculture: "There
was more racial discrimination
in this Communist country than
there could be in any so-called
capitalist country. We are abso-
lutely certain that this discrim-
ination was not incidental, but
backed from above by the Com-
munist authorities." The Gha-
nain ambassador to Bulgaria,
Appan Sampong, who is the only
African ambassador In the coun-

Columba J. DevUn. T.O.R.. pres-
dent. said in announcing the
plan. "The initiative to probe,
the desire to learn, the will to
forge ahead and the urge to seek
knowledge often is killed In the
very first year by these 'review'
courses."

This program, he said, was
more than Advanced Placement,
in the accepted sense. "Under
The College of SteubenvjUe plan,
seniors may take either the Ad-
vanced Placement Test or the
Achievement Test of the CEEB.
Seniors who enroll here, and
who qualified in either of these
tests, will have the course
waived."

STEUBENVILLE. O. (IP) Col-
lege-bound high school students
whose scores on standard tests
indicate they have a superior
knowledge of certain subject
matter may hereafter waive up
to five freshman courses and be
admitted to sophomore classes at
the College of Steubenville. The
program begins with the 1963
semester.

The tests involved are the Ad-
vanced Placement Tests and the
Achievement Tests of the Col-
lege Entrance Examination
Board, Normally, achievement
tests are given in a number of
subjects. For the present those
which may earn a waiver of a
freshman course at the College
are English, mathematics, mod-
ern language, biology, physics,
chemistry and history.

The College has been a coop-
erating institution in the Ad-
vanced Placement Program since
1960, However, because it is
available to so few students, the
present program which seems
more all-embracing was pro-
posed and accepted. Any stu-
dent who is freed of the demand
to take a freshman course will
be admitted into a course on the
sophomore level.

The student still must meet
the number of hours demanded
for graduation but will take ad-
ditional courses later in his
junior and senior years to com-
pensate for the freshman
courses waived. Choice of the
subject to be studied and the
area of interest will be made by
the student.

Siininier Students

By L. D. Law, Jr.

The first All-College Assembly
was held in Meldrim Auditorium
on June 13. The speaker for the
occasion was Dr. W. K. Payne,
President of the college.

In his welcoming speech Dr.
Payne described the Summer
school audience as "unique."
This uniqueness, he went on to
say, was bound up in the fact
that many of the students were
in-service teachers.

Dr. Payne congratulated them
for making the decision to at-
tend the summer session. Any-
one who attends the summer
session, according to Dr. Payne,
has spirit, vision, and outlook.
This is a good sign, he said, be-
cause the times Indicate that
education is challenged.

Dr. E. K. Williams Director of
the Summer School introduced
Dr. Payne. He described Dr.
Payne in his introduction as an
experienced teacher and an ad-
ministrator.

Participating on the program
was Mill Mildred Harris a senior
at SSC.

MY KIND OF DEMOCRACY

By William D. Hagins

It is evident tiiat the American Negro is tired of being denied
first-class cltlzcnsiilp. The recent demonstrations that have de-
veloped throughout the South, give evidence that the Negro no
longer can accept being treated as second-class citizens.

What are Ihe reasons for the New Negro movement? We use
the term "new Negro," because the Negro of today is determined
to obtain the rights which were granted him one hundred years
ago by the Emancipation Proclamation. The Negro's reasons are
quite simple; his philosophy is even more concise. His reasons are
that he wants to take his place in an American society as a person
who con share the responsibility of a democracy. Next, he wants
to show tlio world that he can do more than play ball, sing, or
dance. The Negro Is saying. "If I have the chance. I can be a
leader in politics, scientific research, and other aspects of human
endeavors. The Negro's philosophy is that, he is an American
citizen, and he desires to live in a country which his forefather
fought and died in every major American war.

The nation is now feeling the effect of the New Negro move-
ment. Just recenlly President Kennedy sent a Civil Rights Bill to
Congress, stating why discrimination in America must cease. This
will mark the Ilrst time in many years that a President of the
United States has spoken so boldly against discrimination, and it
appears that he int^ends to do something about it. Now it is up
to the men in Congress to show to America and to the world tliat
they are persons who believe in the Constitution of the United
States, and that tliey believe In the fact that a person cannot be
judged by the color of his skin, but only by his merits.

EDITORIAL

Pour years ago when I left SSC, I carried with me a reservoir
of unforgettable memories, knowing that I was leaving a place with
memories beyond measures. Now I ask myself, what has happened
to SSC? With tlie passing of just four years upon my return, it
seems as though it has been a decade.

When I enrolled for the summer session, the whole student
body, to me. had changed. Have I lost my perspective, or has my
quest for knowledge lessened? The closeness in fraternal brother-
hood and sisterhood was not found Has this type tiling been
carried away with the tides of bigotry and hate? If so, then, you
should recaptlvate.

The voice of the old school is calling for a love that would
cause us to become our brother's keeper; not only because we are
human beings, but also because of the type of guidance which is
given at SSC.

I would surmise and I grant you that the students enrolled
here are of the same nature I was four years ago; but they have
failed to look Into the mirror of life and time and to see them-
selves, I ask you to check your attitudes, dispositions, and most
of all your responsibilities; the impressions that you give Tiere will
be lasting ones.

Some day you will leave SSC and take your respective places
in your community; therefore, it behooves each of you to start
and set forth rules of ethics that will be acceptable by society
'there are many pebbles on the beach).

As a graduate of SSC. I am trying to call these things to your
attention, whereby you may see yourselves and take a different
perspective,

THERE IS NO FREEDOM
FOR THOSE WHO DENY
FREEDOM TO OTHERS

By Peter John Baker
"Fearful and fretful however it be, your attitude leaves an
astounding impression with me."

Frequently and transpiringly, conversations with alumni <or
with students! yield expressions that show forth their regard for
Savannah State College. The attitudes displayed during the course
of some such conversations leave an impression of dismay.

Whether students or alumni we have some moral responsibility
toward 'Motheri SSC. If she "be" nothing, we are nothing: "the
tree is known by the fruit it bears, the quality product is the better
trademark of a business," etc.

Seriously my comrades, how Is it that we permit ourselves to
develop sucli an unfair and grisiy attitude towards the school of
our choice! And. I have assumed that we all chose to study within
the walls of SSC; I did. However free were we in choosing, the fact
remains that we chose SSC, Some say: "It was more convenient;
economically, I chose; my parents could not afford to send me any-
where eisc; I simply couldn't do any better," Whatever excuse we
render for having chosen to study at SSC. it does not atone for a
total pessimistic view of (Motheri SSC,

My contention is simple yet. comprehensive. It is not illogical
to feel that SSC has some finer qualities: the total school environ-
ment can not be deemed worthless. There is some good to be found
within the framework of SSC. And, if we do not utilize the good
that is within her to destroy the bad that is without her. the bad
without win inevitably destroy the good within.

Why is it that some of us really feel all negative (at least, try
to make it appear as though we even despise the moss laden
oaks)? What generated such despair? Who is primarily responsible
for our despondency; where and when did these attitudes envelope?
It is possible that the all inclusive answer if it were given
would be purely subjectivism. In great part. I feel, the pessimistic
viewers should examine their conscious, analyze their quality traits
before unjustly imposing the entire responsibility on SSC,

Everyone is not willing to assume responsibilities, and it is
easier to cite the inadequacies of others rather than admit self-
deficiencies. Really. Savannah State College could not be guilty of
all the litigation attributed to her stead.

It may appear that I am trying to defend SSC, If you think
I am, then, and only then is it true. But. this feeling of defense is
peculiar to ail defenders of iMotheri SSC; therefore, this is food
for thought in that it shows respect for the counsel.

Irrespective of your verbal reproach, you are perpetually acting
in good faith for your schol or Alma Mater, However, persistent
reprovals of such nature igulhblei can be detrimental to (Mother)
SSC.

I find it difficult actually to believe that some of us are aware
of our attitudes certainly not the injustices imposed on our de-
fenseless Alma Mater. It is time for us to think earnestly about
our position in relationship with our Alma Mater, especially what
we say. To put it simply: "There is one thing in this world we
must guard with care, of whom we speak, to whom we speak, how.
when, and where."

It is amazing how our prejudices possess us throughout our
daily Jives, Some say it is simply "Preferential Thinking."
For myself, earth-bound and fettered to the scene
of my activities. I confess that I do feel the differences
of mankind, national and individual. ... I am, in
plainer words, a bundle of prejudices made up of
likings and dislikings the veriest thrall to sympathies,
apathies, antipathies.
If SSC were as Charles Lamb (human and scholarly), she would
haxe exacted the preceding quote thereby proclaiming the ill effects
of such a bundle of prejudices. She has to withstand the veriest
thrall of sympathies, apathies, and antipathies.

Is this a just reward for what we have achieved through the
beneficence of SSC? How should we repay her?

My fellow alumni of the pessnnistic realm, evaluate yourselves
for self-evaluation is essential to your relations with SSC. Examine
your present status in life and proportionately cite the environ-
ments wherein preparations for each flight were made.

I can agree, there are unfavorable features about our Alma
Mater; I can name a few, but such is true in any school, college
or university. Generally, the undersirabies are part of life. There-
fore, it is a challenge to discover what makes the misgivings here
with SSC more controversial than those compared with another
institution of higher learning. It has to be the humanity of a
controversial nature that infiltrates the walls of SSC

It is evident that such a negative attitude towards SSC is not
widespread, and I sincerely feel that the few of us guilty of this
should examine our conscious. After careful analysis. I am con-
fident we shall reconsider. "How good and pleasant it is for
brethern to dwell together in unity." Shall we "savor" the good
will of our Alma Mater.

Idle gossip does not seek to rectify any irregularities in our
college program. When some few of us seek to downgrade the
status of SSC, we are serving a like injustice to ourselves,

I am curious to know how we manage to pursue a course of
academic studies towards a baccalaureate degree and not maintain
a sense ot loyalty towards the institution conferring such degrees.
Loyalty is fundamental to truths; loyalty begins with one's self:
"Be true to thine ownself and this should come as does the night
after day, or how can one be true to any man in any way."

There has been no survey to determine the extent of such
attitudes of referral; however. I am confident this is indicative of
the minority. Nevertheless, this can not go unnoticed, and I feel
everyone associated with Savannah State College should become
more conscious of the descriptive representation presented. We
should not loosely epitomize SSC.

If one comes to SSC with nothing, does nothing while here,
he should expect to leave with nothing. And. it is this nothing
that condemns the virtues of our Alma Mater.

She is often evaluated by those not qualified to evaluate, de-
graded for having opened her arms to receive those seeking to
receive more than they will ever be able to contribute, SSC is
limited when it comes to performmg academic miracles; this is
expecting too much.

There are enormous factors surrounding the negative attitude
displayed by the minority some say the program of various schools
within our realm; others, a few instructors destined to hinder In
lieu of help. , . .

You help alleviate the situation but examine "self" first.

Requiem For an
Athletic Projirani

By Boast Cephas Carswell. Jr.

Many years SSC has failed
to recruit the better athletes
due to the lack of finances. In
fact, students with the ability to
play sports are going to other
colleges and universities because
of the high scholarships and
grant-in-aids offered.

SSC. in some instances, is able
to get good athletes but is un-
able to keep
them. We have
b een getting
players from
states as far
away as Ohio,
Indiana. Flori-
da. South and
North Carolina,
Alabama and other states, but
what is actually the reason for
not keeping them?

For the last few years athletes
at SSC have not received what
they had anticipated while at-
tending school. The athletes
that will come here in Septem-
ber, and. in all probability, they
will work hard to build a good
team, and as soon as the season
is over they have to start worry-
ing and wondering about funds
which will enable them to com-
plete a full academic school
year. It is a bad reflection on
the college as a whole, when
players from other schools hold
a conversation with our players,
they are too embarrassed to
talk about the situation. Why?
Because the school fails to ful-
fill its obligations! The school
recruits these athletes from
other cities and states, and
promises are made that are not
kept. After they get here, they
find that it is different,
especially after the season is
over.

The writer has known athletes
that have had to leave the col-
lege, because they owed the col-
lege a great deal of money, when
they were supposed to have
been receiving a grant-in-aid.

During the years of 1959-63,
SSC lias had a successful basket-
ball team. The team has partici-
pated in many tournaments and
came out as champions, but for
some reason or another, the
players seem to be confronted
with the same problem of having
to stay in school.

The state doesn't appropriate
funds for athletic programs and
other extra-curricular purposes,
therefore, the school has to de-
pend on the alumni association
and other cliaritable organiza-
tions for their support. There-
fore, the alumni association
should have other means of
getting financial support other
than donations, because the
amount of money given to the
school for grant-in-aids is not
enough to take care of a good
athletic program for a college
such as SSC.

The people of the community
and a large number of the stu-
dents have lost interest in the
atliletic program. They claim
that the teams lose too many
games for them to "waste" their
"money" and "time" to come out
to see a "losing team" play ball.
It will be a long time before
SSC's Athletic Program ad-
vances to a status that will
challenge its competitors, if the
athletic program continues to
receive this kind of support.

The alumni association along
with a representative group from
the student body should sit down
and discuss ways and means of
raisin-? finances in order to keep
building up the athletic program
to what it should be that is
second to none.

Eleotronios Workshop
From July 22 to Aiijk. 9

By Levern Carter
Savannah State College, Di-
vision of Technical Science, in
co-operation with the Georgia
State Division of Vocational
Education, is sponsoring an elec-
tronics workshop from July 22
through August 9.

A specialist to be named later
from the headquarters* instruc-
tional staff of the Philco Cor-
porationwill be in charge of
the workshop. Classes will be
held in the college's modern elec-
tronics laboratory- Persons at-
tending this workshop will re-
ceive five quarter hours' credit
for this experience.

African Exhibition
Opens at Library

An educational exhibition of
photographs and art entitled
"Tropical Africa: An Explosion
into the Future."" opened Satur-
day, June 22. at the Savannah
State College Library. It will
continue through July 12,

The Phelps-Stokes Fund is the
sponsor of this exhibition, which
is based on a seven-year survey.
The show is being circulated
under the auspices of the Smitli-
sonian Institution Traveling Ex-
hibition Service.

The survey resulted in a two-
volume book, "Tropical Africa,"
by George H. T. Kimble, who re-
signed as director of the Ameri-
can Geographical Society to un-
dertake the study. Kimble is now
chairman of the Department of
Geography at Indiana Univer-
sity. He drew upon contributions
from 46 specialists and scholars
and himself visited Africa many
times during the course of the
project.

The exhibition makes the
viewer aware of the 600 different
groups of people living in Africa,
the diversity of the land and
the richness of natural resources,
as well as the economic, political,
and social revolution taking
place in Africa today. Westerners
can no longer afford to ignore
these changes since Africa now
occupies a pivotal role in the
future of the world. As Mr.
Kimble his written: "Self-inter-
est to invoke no higher motive
demands that we take cogniz-
ance of these facts. It also de-
mands that we try to see the
significance of what is happen-
ing to the land and its people,
to their welfare and develop-
ment."

Tropical Africa is a mosaic of
tribes and tongues, of cultures,
societies ajad nations. Within Its
borders lives herder and hunter,
cultivator and fisherman, miner,
manufacturer and trader, and
the followers of every other art
and calling. While most of these
people still belong to an antique
world, almost all of them now
know there is another word and,
from time to time, make excur-
sions into it.

The political map may show 40
or so clean-cut pieces, but there
is nothing all-of-a-piece about
the lives lived by the people in
any one of them.

AU total the territories of
tropical Africa have a popula-
tion probably not less than 167

Receives Award

The Society of the Sigma XI
and its associated organization,
the Scientific Research Society
of America (RESA) . has an-
nounced through the chairman
of their Grants-In-Aid of Re-
search Committee. Dr. Harlow
Shapley, an award to Dr. Charles
Pratt, Head Department of
Chemistry and Professor of Sa-

Dr, Shapley. in making this
announcement, stated "Sigma XI
and RESA each year makes a
number of grants to the most
promising scientist at critical
points in their research careers.
We recognize that many needs
are relatively too small for the
large foundations to consider
and it is to meet these needs
that our research funds are
maintained."

Founded in 1886, the society
of the Sigma XI now has 144
chapters and more than 125
clubs in the major colleges and
universities in the United States
and Canada, Its industrial
counterpart, RESA. established
in 1947, has 78 branches in major
governmental and industrial
laboratories. These two organiza-
tions with a combined active
membership of 90,000 scientists
jointly sponsor eight national
lectureships, publish the AMERI-
CAN SCIENTIST, and are cur-
rently making annual awards in
support of research totaling
$75,000.

Wells Addresses
Siunmer Session

By L. D, Law, Jr.

At the second Assembly pro-
gram of the Summer session.
June 21, Dr. I. J. K. Wells, Execu-
tive Secretary for the Friends of
Africa and America, conducted
an unusually interesting pro-
gram, "Excursion into Africa."

In his opening statement, Mr.
Wells noted that the~e were
three revolutions taking place
in the world presently. They
were outlined as follows: Asia,
Africa, and America.

The present demonstrations in
America by Negroes have been
referred to by some writers as
the Fourth American Revolution.
The demonstrations now being
conducted by Negroes in America
are full of religion, music,
philosophy, and discipline, he
stated.

Following a few introductory
remarks Dr. Wells, assisted by
Mr. Robert Mobley of the SSC
Audio Visual Aids Department,
showed a series of slides on
Africa, The pictures ranged from
those of Jomo Kenyata to the
Silent Ancient Pyramids of
Egypt.

After the slides had been
viewed. Dr. Wells discussed a
list of 25 test questions every
Negro should know about Africa.
This test covered the areas of
history, culture, economics, and
some general information. It was
obvious from the enthusiasm of
the students that Dr. Wells had
truly captivated his audience.

College June 24 to evaluate the
Undergraduate Research Pro-
gram.

The research program is di-
rected by Dr, Charles Pratt, Head
of the Department, assisted by
two senior students, Leander
Merritt and Carnell West. The
aim of the program is to estab-
lish the Amino Acid sequence of
protein found in cottonseed. The
approach taken is by a deriva-
tive of the protein by reacting
the terminal amino acid, which
is then identified. Repetitions of
this procedure should lead to
the complete identification of
the protein,

Dr, Schawrz found the re-
search project very Interesting,
and spent some tour hours ques-
tioning Meritt and West about
some of Its details. Dr. Schwarz
felt that the rcsearcli project Is
well on its way and was very
optimistic about Its future de-
velopment.

Workshops Outing
Is Enjoyable

The Elementary and Second-
ary Workshops enjoyed an eve-
ning of fun dancing and enter-
tainment on July 2, from 7:30
to 11:00 p.m. at Saul's Place on
Wilmington Island.

The menu was tasteful as well
as hunger satisfiying. It con-
sisted of shrimps, fish, crabs,
hush puppies, cole slaw, and ice
tea.

The Workshoppers can truth-
fully say that the evening of
July 2, 1963 was an unforgetable
one.

Fashion Flares

By Emma J. Freer

Fashions this summer have a
carefree air in and out of the
classroom.

Your fashion writer for this
feature found it nice and inter-
esting to be back on home
grounds again After being on
campus for three weeks. I am
ready to report 'campus" and
"national" fashion lines.

Ladies and gents, you should
favor the lines that favor you.
Styles are fun and they are fine
for some people, but not always
for you.

The relaxed look is present in
both lines. Prints and solids are
featured in everything under
the sun.

The comfortable, casual shift-
like silhouette is the highlight
of summer fashion; however, I
understand the gents are not
happy to have us In "sacks"
again.

Look around you and see if the
latest style is for you. The
popular versions for females are:
printed and solid shifts, the
shirred shift i belted or un-
belted), two-piece dresses and
suits, coat jumpers and last, but
not least, the basic silhouette.

The male lines are a far cry
from the ones in dad's days.
Lightweight is the key word as
well as a variety of colors and
textures. This may sound
strange, but his lines are more
slim and silhouette than the
females. Brown, olive green, and
blue are still popular colors.

Girls, we haven't said anything
about accessories, which is a
must in every wardrobe. One or
two strand pearls iwith match-
ing earrings), are a necessity:
otherwise, let your outfit dictate
what jew^ery you should wear.
Do not make the mistake of
wearing too much jewelry.

ERROR

By Levern Carter
Willie N, Wright, a native of Dublin, Georgia, received his
elementary and secondary education in that city. On June 2, 1958,
a Bachelor of Science Degree was conferred upon him from Sa-
vannah State College In the Area of Industrial Education.

His teaching career had its be- ^_ .

ginning at Haralson County
Consolidated School, in Waco,
Georgia, While at Haralson
County Consolidated School he
successfully set up the Indus-
trial Arts Program whore tech-
nical drawing and general wood-
work were taught.

In September. 1959 Mr. Wright
wa somployed by the Chatham
County Board of Education to
teach at Sol C. Johnson High
School. At Johnson, he began the
Brick Laying Shop which he has
taught for four years. He also
teaches general woodwork. For
the school year 1962-63 Mr.
Wright served as chairman of
his department where technical
drawing, woodworking and brick
laying are offered.

Willie IS. Wrighl

His leisure time is spent in
general house repair and cabinet
making, both of which he hopes
to pursue as a career. In general
house repair, his favorite is con-
verting old style houses and de-
signing them into modern struc-
tures with a minimum cost.

Mr. Wright is an affiliant with
the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity
and serves as a member of the
Board of Directors at the Frank
Callen Boys Club. He Is also a
communicant of the Bethel
A.M.E. Church.

Mr. Wright is married to the
former Miss Shirley Thomas, a
1958 graduate of Savannah State
College and is the father of two
lovely children, Dariu.s, two
years, and Katrina Felicia, one
year.

He is refreshing himself in the
Division of Technical Science by
taking Technical Drawing and
Advance Electricity. Both of
which he finds very challenging
and enjoyable.

Library Students
Present Drama

By Vivian L. Pressley

The Library Science Class 301,
School Administration and
Organization presented an
assembly program June 27. in
Meldrim auditorium. The theme
of the program was "Images of
School Libraries." The purpose
of this program was to acquaint
school administrators, in-service
teachers, and students with the
services of school libraries. This
was done by contrasting past
libraries with libraries of today
in a short skit consisting of two
scenes.

Scene I depicted a library of
the past which emphasized
limited materials, facilities, and
activities. Scene II showed a
library of today with emphasis
on a variety of activities, free-
dom of movement and extensive
use of books, audio-visual aids,
and other materials. Children

"New Math" - Modern
Math Introduced By SSC

By Emma J. Freer

This summer for the first time
students and in-service teachers
were given the opportunity to
take a look at the "new math."
The course outline lists it as
Mathematics 400. The class is
being taught by Mr. J. B. Clem-
mons, Chairman of the. Mathe-
matics Department.

Modern Mathematics is not a
required course for Mathematics
majors; however, many of them
along with many teachers have
seen a need for taking this
course.

Many of you may ask, What
is the "new math"? Why the
need for it? There are as many
answers as questions that could
be stated. However, in the world
today it Is almost impossible to
get along with the knowledge
of mathematics as it was taught
a few years ago. In fact, as it
was taught just yesterday.

Why? The new and changing
world of science and technology
has made it so. In an effort to
keep up with other nations in
the world a new approach to
arithmetic was necessary. Thus,
the new approach to mathme-
matics was viewed. A modern
arithmetic program introduces
materials earlier than was
previously thought possible or
advisable in our schools.

Some of the leaders in this
experimental program includes,
the School Mathematics Study
Group (S.M.S.G.). the Syracuse
University "Madison Project."
the University of Illiuois Com-
mittee on School Mathematics,
t h e University of Maryland
Mathematics Project, the
Greater Cleveland Mathematics
Program.

Georgia thought the plan wise
and acceptable and last year
issued a guide entitled "Teach-
ing Mathematics in Georgia
Schools."

The Members of the "Mathe-
matics 400" class found the
above, very important reasons
to take a look at "Modem
Mathematics, Areas covered in-
cludes. Introduction to Sets, Sen-
tences and Solution Sets, Work-
ing With Real Numbers, Graph-
ing On the Number Line, Venn
Diactram Ordered Pairs and
Lattices and Operations on Sets
to name a few.

There are some who seem to
feel that "Modern Mathematics"
isn't really "new" at all that
the vocabulary and symbols are
what is "new" about it and the
early introduction of mathe-
matical terms.

The modern approach to
mathematics at this writing has
not been accepted by some 'in-
cluding states) and probably
some never will see its need.
These are the people who will be
caught in the changing of time,
inability to put the old into a
"new" setting.

World College Organized With 24
UN Countries^ Sponsored By Qnakers

An experimental world college, organized in cooperation with
twenty-four member countries of the United Nations, will be in
session this summer, from July ' 1 to August 12. at Harrow Hill.
near Glen Head, Long Island, The experiment has been planned
and will be directed by Dr. Harold Taylor, former president of
Sarah Lawrence College, and is sponsored by the Friends World
College Committee, a group of Quakers in the New York and Long
Island area.

The aim of the project is to
try out in practice the idea of a
world college, with a completely
international faculty, student-
body and curriculum. Tutorial
and seminar methods of instruc-
tion will be used, concentrating
on study projects by the students
who will work singly or in groups
of two or three on issues and
ideas related to the development
of world order, new Institutions
of world culture and new bodies
of knowledge which are free
from national bias.

The governments invited to
cooperate in the estabHshment
of the project were selected by
Dr. Talyor. in consultation with
various members of the United
Nations delegations, to represent
the aligned, non-aligned and
neutral countries,

Asia is represented by Japan,
Malaya. Indonesia and India;
Africa by Ghana, Uganda. Sierra
Leone. Ethiopia and Nigeria;
Europe by Great Britain, France.
Poland and Roumania; the
Middle East by the United Arab
Republic and Israel; the west-
ern hemisphere by Mexico, Co-
lombia, Paraguay. Brazil, Canada
and the United States. Negotia-
tions are still underway for in-
cluding the Netherlands, Cuba.
Thailand and the U.S.S.R.

Each of the countries will be
represented by one student,
either appointed by the nation
itself or selected by the World
College in consultation with of-
ficials of the participating gov-
ernments. The students range in
age from twenty to twenty-six;
both men and women, graduates
and undergraduates are in-
cluded. They will be supported
by scholarship grants either
from their own governments or
by grants-in-aid from the
Friends World College Commit-
tee. Most of the students expect
eventually to enter one or
another field of service in inter-
national affairs-

Four faculty members will be
in residence, one each from
Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and
the West, Others, who will visit
the campus for particular
seminars and tutorial sessions,
will include members of United
Nations delegations, who have
taught in the universities of
their own countries, and visit-
ing scholars now in the metro-
politan area.

The subjects in the curriculum
will range from the development
of ideas for new forms of inter-
national cooperation in educa-
tional and scientific programs to
studies of disarmament, the
peaceful uses of outer space and
the art forms of the countries
represented at the college. Al-
though there will be no subject
matter divisions or separate de-
partments, the studies and
curriculum will concentrate on
building a new body of knowl-
edge in the social sciences, the
arts and the humanities, which
represents a world point-of-view.
For example, a project may de-
velop for the preparation of
text-books for Soviet, Asian,
African and American children
in the history of the United
States and the Soviet Union,

Students will present to
seminars and discussion groups
the elements of their national
culture and art forms with
which they are most familiar
The music, theater and dance
of member countries will be per-
formed where possible, with the
aid of the students and of
musicians, actors and dancers
in the metropolitan area. There
will also be play readings and

poetry readings of translations
from the classics of national
literatures. The College will use
the recreational and cultural
resources of metropolitan New
York, including the libraries,
galleries, theaters, and concert
halls.

Funds for the World College
experiment are being provided
through private donations to the
Friends World College Commit-
tee, whose chairman is Dr.
George Nicklln. of Westbury.
Long Island, The Committee.
composed of members of the
New York Yearly Meeting of the
Religious Society of Friends, has
been working for the past four
years on plans for founding a
new institution of higher educa-
tion with a world point-of-view.
The Committee's headquarters
at Harrow Hill are the former
home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Ittleson. Jr,. who donated their
ten-acre estate two years ago to
serve as a center for the work in
world education

Dr Harold Taylor, who is
presently engaged in a study of
the concept and feasibility of a
world university, under the
sponsorship of the Peace Re-
search Institute, of which he is
vice president, was invited dur-
ing the past year by the Friends
World College Committee to con-
duct an experimental project at
Harrow Hill. The present project
is the outcome of that invitation.

It is hoped that in the future
some form of international
financing through inter-govern-
mental cooperation can be ar-
ranged for year-round world
college programs both in this
country and abroad. In the
meantime, the results of this
summer project will be made
available in published form to
interested individuals and insti-
tutions, as wel as to UNESCO
and other international bodies.

Dr. Taylor has expressed the
hope that one result of this be-
ginning experiment may be the
development of a design for
world education which might
serve as a basis for further
projects of this kind during the
United Nations International
Cooperation Year in 1965,

Members of the SSC com-
munity will remember Dr.
Taylor's brilliant lecture during
National Library Week in April.

Congratulations to Mrs.

State. They are the parents of
one son, Darles Michael.

Mrs. Culver is business instruc-
tor at Wheeler County Training
School-

The staff congratulates Mr.
and Mrs. Culver on their fourth
anniversary.

In-Service Teachers

Put the Accent on

Better Teaching

The educational workshops In
methods and materials of ele-
mentary and secondary teach-
ing accented "Better Teaching"
at its first reporting session on
June 27 and 28.

Through a variation of panel
discussions, skits, socio-dramas.
and other means of demonstra-
tion, in-service teachers ex-
hibited resource findings of com-
mon interest to all participants.
The areas of concern grew out
of a list of problems drawn up
in a general session of the two
workshops during the beginning
week.

A report from Group I dealt
with a discussion of non-graded
primaries, Individual differences,
and grouping

A second group dealing with
"Human Relations" placed
emphasis on guidance, student-
teacher relations, and the prob-
lem of absenteeism.

"Planning for Motivation" was
the overall theme for Gi'oup III
which stressed a number of
psychological gmdelines which
are basic to planning at all
levels. Various methods of teach-
ing and organizing learning ex-
periences were brought into
focus. Emphasis was placed on
having the psychological guide-
lines permeate all planning for
motivation, competent teaching,
an defficient learning.

Group IV gave its attention to
"Some Determining Bases for
Grading and Promotion," Sig-
nificant in this report was an
analysis of the meaning, pur-
poses, kinds, administration and
scoring of test. A discussion of
the use of test findings by this
group proved helpful to all the
listeners.

Certainly, a number of help-
ful suggestions for better teach-
ing grew out of the several re-
ports.

Science Workshop For

million and occupy an area well
over twice the size of the United
States.

Of the 600 or more groups of
peoples in tropical Africa who
do enough things differently
from their neighbors to be recog-
nizably different, there are many
groups with similar modes of
behavior. Most of these groups
talk differently from their
neighbors, sometimes so differ-
ently that villagers living on
opposite banks of a river are
unable to communicate with
each other. Many of them have
dlffei-ent ways of raising food
and family, of settling disputes,
of dealing with Illnesses and
emergencies, and even of bury-
ing the dead.

Africa is a fabric woven of
many physical thi-eads. Into It go
water and soil, heat and aridity,
marsh and jungle, mantled hill
and naked valley, beaches
fringed with palm and coral,
"sunny fountains" that some-
times freeze.

The college library will also
display books on Africa. The
public is invited to view the
exhibition during library hours.

search was used in the College
Llbi'ary, at home, and the read-
ing center.

The group gave its first
pi'ogress report Friday, June 28.
The group displayed tests and
problems on the bulletin board.
Miss Vera Adkins demonstrated
the use of the Teleblnocular, and
Mrs, Louis Owens demonstrated
the Audiometer.

Group II centered Its attention
around procedures In reading.
The findings included develop-
ing reading readiness, grouping.
improving rates, and vocabulary.

Group III was concerned with
techniques in reading. Research
findings were presented on study
skills, comprehension, and refer-
ence skills.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Summer. 1963

SSC Science Workshop Provides
Innumerable Experiences For Teachers

The science workshop, at Sa-
vannah State College is provid-
ing opportunities for teachers on
the elementary level to increase
their knowledge in the various
branches of the natural sciences,
and also ample opportunities to
understand better the PROBLEM
SOLVING approach to the teach-
ing of science. Each teacher is
required to present a problem for
investigation in the specific area
of science in which she Is seek-
ing more Information. After this,
she Is assisted in using literature
on this problem with the ex-
pectation that she will develop
a hypothesis of her own, rela-
tive to the answer which she
expects to find through experi-
mental work.

The teacher is then guided in
her thinking on what methods
to use In search for the answer
to her problem, and what ma-
terials would be needed In mak-
ing this study. After this has
been decided, the teacher is now
ready for experimental work.
which might result in producing
the answer to her problem, and
it will provide the opportunity
for the teacher to arrive at a
conclusion based on her own ex-
perimental work.

Special study in all the areas
listed under "Suggested Princi-
ples for Science Curriculum
(Grades 1-8)" publlslied in
Science for Georgia Schools, is
required of all participants in
the workshop.

The workshop began with
special lectures by W. J. Tucker,
Ph.D.. in Chemistry at Savannah
State College, on Chemistry and
its related areas. The objectives
of these lectures were: ill To
give elementary teachers some
formal training in Chemistry.
(2) To help fill out a void in
the teacher's background in
subject matter, (3) To increase
the teacher's capacity to moti-
vate students into science
careers.

The lectures are divided into
four main units; The Periodic
System and Atomic Structure;
Common compounds and re-
actions used daily at home.
school and work; Introduction
to Nuclear Chemistry and Intro-
duction to Organic Chemistry.
The periodic chart is used with
all of the lectures in order to
instill in the elementary teacher
the concept of periodicity of ele-
ments and compounds in a given
group or series. Some of the
teachers are expected to make
periodic charts of all the co:n-
mon elements as a workshop
project that can be used as an
aid in their respective science
classes.

In the unit on nuclear chem-
istry, the theory of natural and
artificial radioactivity is briefly
discussed and a few equations
are used for illustrative purposes.
The production and acceleration
of high energy particles is also
included in this unit.

In the unit on organic chem-
istry, no details will be given on
special classes of compounds.
Only common organic com-
pounds will be treated as cer-
tain alcohols, flavorings, acids,
and some carbohydrates.

After getting a working knowl-
edge of the atom, its structure,
and its contributions to our
everyday living, the area on
electricity and magnetism at-
tracted a majority of the teach-
ers. The questions in this area
that seem to be uppermost in
the minds of the teachers are;
How does electricity give us
heat? produce light? work for
us? These questions served as
bases for experimental work, and
several simple experiments have
been performed to bring out
these principles.

In the area covering the Uni-
verse and the Solar System, the
participants have been provided
an opportunity to study space

science. Some teachers are pre-
paring models of the entire solar
system. These models are made
with plywood cut in a round
figure about eighteen Inches In
diameter.

The large sun Is represented
with a large electric light bulb in
the center of the figure. The
other planets are placed in the
figure In their positions relative
to the sun with smaller light
bulbs. All bulbs are wired for
AC electricity, which will light
up the entire figure and will
show what is meant by space,
or outer space. The different
seasons are demonstrated with a
similar type of figure.

The area on Living Matter is
always Interesting on all levels.
The teachers in the workshop
have heard many interesting dis-
cussions on life in both plants
and animals How life Is main-
tained in the bodies of both
plants and animals has been the
chief topic for discussions. These
discussions have provided oppor-
tunities to study many differ-
ent principles of the biological
sciences.

Aquariums and terrariums
have been made to demonstrate
certain principles of association
that exist between the plant
kingdom and the animal king-
dom. These teaching aids are
made with some plain window
glass made In a box form and
cemented with strong construc-
tion tape. They are very Inex-
pensive.

Health and safety cannot be
over-emphasized. The teachers
are making special posters on
nutrition, exercise, cleanliness,
and correct posture as they re-
late to good health.

Some of the causative agents
of diseases are being discussed,
and some experimental work
with bacteria is being done to
show the teachers that these
same experiments could be used
In the elementary schools.

Everyone appears to be most
interested in the work, and will
be better prepared to teach the
sciences to pupils on the ele-
mentary level beginning next
school term,

Additional Peace
Corps Volunteers

Requests from 47 nations for
additional Peace Corps Volun-
teers late this year have
prompted the addition of a July
20 date for national administra-
tion of the Peace Corps Place-
ment Test.

Dr. Ed Henry, director of the
Peace Corps selection division.
said the non-competitive test
will be given by the Civil Service
Commission in more than 800
communities on Saturday, July
20, and again on August 24. Both
start at 8:30 a.m.

"In order to meet even the
most urgent requests from Latin
America. Africa and Asia, we
plan to start training programs
each month from August
through December." Dr. Henry
said, "I hope all interested col-
lege students who complete de-
gree requirements during sum-
mer sessions will submit their
applications and take one of the
tests."

More than 2.000 prospective
Volunteers wilt enter training
during the last five months of
1963 to supplement the 5,000 now
ir the field and the 3,000 in
training during the summer.

Students can obtain the loca-
tion of the nearest test site by
calling the local CSC. Only re-
quirement for admission is that
the applicant has already sub-
mitted a Peace Corps Question-
naire or brings his completed
application with him.

The test, which can't be
"passed" or "failed" in the tra-
ditional sense, includes one-half-
hour sections on general apti-
tude and modern language ap-
titude. Students who have had
any prior training in Spanish or
French take an additional one-
hour test of proficiency in the
appropriate one.

RELIGION . . .

To be of no church is danger-
ous.

Religion, of which the rewards
are distant, and which is ani-
mated only by Faith and Hope,
will glide by degrees out of the
mind, unless it be invigorated
and reimpressed by eternal
ordinances, by stated calls to
worship, and the salutory in-
fluence of example.

Those who obey their con-
science are of my religion, and
I am of the religion of all those
who are brave and good

We have just enough religion
to make us hate, but not enough
to make us love, one another.

We cannot make a religion for
others, and we ought not to let
others make a religion for us.

Our own religion is what life
has taught us.

ISeiv ErroU Garner Concert Album
Now in Release - "One World Concert

Erroll Garner's first concert
recording in seven years is in
current release. Titled "ONE
WORLD CONCERT." the album
has met with raves from
"Variety," "Billboard" and "Cash
Box." the trade papers of the
record industry.

The album, which was re-
corded during the week-long
stand of Garner at the Seattle
World's Fair, includes some
highly exciting selections, among
them the pianist's own renowned
"Misty" and "Mack the Knife,"
"Sweet and Lovely." "Happiness
Is a Thing Called Joe," and half
a dozen other rhythmic selec-
tions. The "ONE WORLD CON-
CERT" title refers to the uni-
versality of Garner's impact and
musical appeal. World-ac-
claimed, Garner's concert
itinerary in 1963 will include the
United States, Canada, England
and Europe. He plans to tour
Australia in 1964,

The "ONE WORLD CONCERT"
album has been produced by
Octave Records for release by
REPRISE RECORDS, the Frank
Sinatra diskery. Garner, him-
self, is making half a dozen net-
work television appearances in
conjunction with the release of
the "ONE WORLD CONCERT"
album.

Garner spent several weeks
selecting the numbers for tliis
albmn from the more than
twelve hours of recorded ma-
terial from his performances at
the Seattle Fair. The spontaneity
and dynamic quality of Garner's
extemporaneous in-person per-
formance is captured completely
in the "ONE WORLD CONCERT"
album. Further, authentic sound
quality has been uniquely re-
produced in this recording,
bringing the at-home listener
to the front row of a Garner
concert-
