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?

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.

Men's Fashions By Charlie Phillips 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.

December, 1961 THE TIGER'S ROAR 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.

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!

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.

Boston THE TIGER'S ROAR February, 1062 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." February, 1962 THE TIGER'S ROAR Page 3 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

April, 1%2 THE TIGER'S ROAR 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.

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. " By the way, Emma is herself a queen "Miss Savannah State College for 1961-62," The Campus Spotlight takes pleasure in presenting you, Emma Sue McCrory, as its per- sonality of the month. FEATURES 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.

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.

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. Jaekson l)rail<'y W. Brown Dr. Joan L.

HAPPY VACATION 11 . 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Y.M.C.A. Players Presentt'd "A Dislaiil Holl" By Charles A.

Displaying signs of poor conditioning, the Tigers won two firsts in the field events with a 159 ft. javelin throw by Raymond Harper and a 20 ft. 6.5 in, broad jump by Thomas Williams. Robert Patrick and Herschel Robinson won 2nd and 3rd place in the two-mile run. Roland Nash and Anthony Shef- field tied for second in the high jump.

Savannah, is em- 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; Jean Stewart, Barbara Jean Pray and Nathaniel Fuller. Liberty County High; Essie Grant and Elizabeth Miller from Tompkins High School; Romona Marks, Jeffrey James, Ethel Mae Rob- inson and Betty Jean Simmons. Sol C. Johnson; Bertha Moore. Robert Williams and Eugene Whitehead fro m Waynesboro High and Industrial Training School. Wayynesboro, Georgia. Miss Louise Owens and Mr. Robert Holt worked closely with the program. Dr. E. K. Williams, Co-ordina- tor of General Education, is di- rector of the project. Dr. Tucker Addod J\> CIk iiiislry Stall 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. E.

Bertrand is returning to the Virgin Islands to accept a posi- tion of Deputy Commissioner of Health in the Virgin Islands. Mr. Bertrand has returned to his native land after spending 25 years In the United States. He came to SSC in 1947 and serveJ as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. He was later appointed to chief accountant, assistant comptroller and comptroller. Savannah State's loss is the Virgin Island's gain, Mr. Ber- trand, during his stay here, won the admiration of countless numbers of people in which he has come in contact. Artist Leaves Gift Mrs. E. A. Bertrand, wife of Savannah State Comptroller Emanuel Bertrand, has left a collection of original paintings to the college in hopes that the gifts will touch-off action that will result in the erection of a permanent art gallery on cam- pus. A pupil of Prof. Hampton. she is an accomplished student- artist of five years training in painting. Her works have been on display at the Ogunquit. Maine Art Show, the Atlanta University Art Show, National Conference of Artists Annual Show and the Jordon Art Gallery in Savannah. REGISTER AND VOTE! Fres.

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.

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. ' ritrr"! Kti', orjan ul fi 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. By Llmer Thomas 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. Help Staff Your Student Paper!

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, n'est-ce pas? the left or right. Also, a diseased 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 lights from green.

At least this is the case at the Savannah State College where in-service teachers from al! over the state liave returned to the campus to upgrade themselves educationally. To keep these teachers abreast of current trends, the Savannah State College has set up its 1962 Workshop in Materials and Methods for Elementary and Secondary Schools at the Sol Johnson High School in Savan- nah, Georgia.

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!! WORDS OF WISDOM It is our civic duty to guard and rise in defense of our own and our neighbor's rights.

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. iMpiilal Allilinlc .\ffrls TciuIciHcy lo Ovcreal Emotional depression disturbs the normal balance of sugar metabolism in the body, and this in turn, causes some obse women to overeat.

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 left hand to permit successful pairing. ANSWERS 1. Cobra Snake, 2. Geoffrey Chaucer. 3, Cliina, 4.

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.

Lilirai'j' Science Sliideiils Present Syiii|iosiiiiii On All College issenibly 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 school hbraries' collections in- By Juanita T.

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.

The second and third floors of Hill Hall are taking on a new look. On the third floor are three music practice rooms, music study lounge, four offices, large rooms for music rehearsals and a music-art classroom. There is also an art study room, a class- room tor ceramics and sculpture, rooms for kiln and art supplies in addition to a large room for paintings and designs. On the first assembly program of the season, Pres. Payne spoke to the college family on new challenges to be met by college students today and in the years to come.

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.

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 UNCLE SAM, 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. GIVE and GIVE GENEROUSLY support the 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 the ability to stand erect, 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. of white employees. High school and college students of color, in general, seem less enthusiastic about their work than white students. In two world wars. Negro soldiers were subjugated to harsh treatment overseas and here in the United States. Very often they were deprived of those rights and privileges which they so bravely fought to safeguard. In this poem entitled "Defeat," Witter Brynner describes such a situation. On a train in Texas German prisoners eat With white American soldiers. seat by seat While black American soldiers sit apart The white men eating meat, the back men heart. Now, with that other war a century done. Not the live North but the dead South has won: Not yet a riven nation comes awake. Whom are we fighting this time, for God's sake? Mark well the token of the separate seat It is again ourselves that we defeat- Historical records show that Negro soldiers were continuously humiliated. Few Negroes could expect to make rank. Could such a soldier be expected to perform with the same degree of pro- fiency as one who would prob- ably achieve In the service in accordance with his capabilities and performance? Nevertheless.

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.

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 . . .

American fashion experts 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 the merest hint of feminity in their Fall stylings. So, if you want to be novel, new, and "boyish," include some of the boyish styles in your Fall ward- robe. All it takes is a little in- genuity and lots of imagination You can start it with a tweed suit (short, roomy jacket, patch sleeves), add a paisley print lined jacket with matching vest, then mix in an open-throat shirt with authentic riding hat and boy, oh, man. oh, man, you'll have that "little boy look!" 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. October, 1%2 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 Tigers, Other seasoned perform- ers are Harvey Bailey, who has two years of experience under his belt, and Anthony Sheffield, a forward who has seen limited SPORTS SHORTS By Therman Thomas Ernie Davis Reported To Have Leukemia Heisman trophy winner Ernie Davis is believed to have a mild case of Leukemia; however, medical officials have stated that the disease is in a state of remission.

Listen said he could do it and he did it. In two minutes and six seconds of the first round, the much talked about title bout between Floyd Patterson and Charles (Sonny) Liston was over Peo- 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, only the giant throwing the sock that felled Floyd like a rock. THE TIGERS ROAR Oclober. 1962 CAMILLA HUBERT HALL NEWS NOTES Lucy C. White.

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.

Mrs. Ella Fisher was the main speaker. She spoke to the audience on the subject, HOW FIT ARE YOU? To help each person evaluate his fitness quotient, she elaborated on four facets of fitness physical, mental, social and moral. She admonished the audience that each facet must be considered in order to assess accurately his total fitness. At the close of her remarks on physical fitness, Dr. Raymond W- Hopson, chairman of the de- partment of health, physical education and recreation, pre- sented to President W. K.

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.

CtorilJi. ua 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. $1,000 Award Is Offered IContinwd from Pni^c -f) can Literature. The 1962 judges Rosemary Benet.

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.

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.

THE TIGER'S ROAR January. 1963 ]ia^iiiii^iL 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." Preparing to Unlock Tomorrow's Doors Savannah State Faculty Puhlishes 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 Critical Role of Motive In the American Educational Pattern." Dr. E. K. Williams discussed "Comparative Academic Achieve- ment Ranking From the Highest DO YOU HA\ E A COMPLAINT, SUGGESTION OR CRITICISM?

The dawn of tomorrow will be exciting if we dedicate ourselves to the task that lies ahead. The student.s at Savannah State College represent an excit- ing hope for the future- Here are the future teachers, doctors, and lawyers. Here are the scientists needed to light the way for future generations. Here are the engineers who can translate the scientist's find- ings into productive machines and processes. Here are tomorrow's business- men. Here, in short, are the men 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. Our critical shortage is for persons with the intellectual capacity and the qualities of character necessary to cope with such problems. Knowing this is true, we ac- cept our challenge: The Keys For Unlocking Tomorrow's Doors. They are not yet in the past, but they are reality. Our perpetual companioris thi-ough life should be love and kindness. In the words of Henri-Frederic Amiel.

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.

Sporls 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.

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?"

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.

This location is excellent for these two sports. As a matter of fact, this is the main reason he moved here from the city after he re- tired from the Post Office.

"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. Pictured above are mcmln right. Mrs. Carrie A. Pouell, ,\- Agent for 4-H work; Mr. J.

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. Death Debaters and advisors examine plan of affirmative team after debate held here February 27. Left to right.

The debate topic for this sea- son is, "It is Resolved: That the Non-Communist Nations of the World Should Establish an Eco- nomic Community." The case for the establishment of such an economic community was presented by Clarence Holmes, first affirmative, and Prince Mcintosh, second af- firmative.

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- decision one. Blood Campaign Delta Eta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has announced plans to initiate a blood-donating campaign here at Savannah State College.

Pace 2 THE TIBER'S ROAR February March. 1963 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, go forth in like manner, giving to the quest the added joy of fellowship. There may be diffi- culties to surmount to make the Pilgrim strong, but if he keeps burning, clear and bright, his soul's fire, liis faith and hopes shall be undimmed." 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. Henry Lelands Ginn EDITOR 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, Therman Thomas. Junior 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.

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.

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, (Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 1 Fdshionably Yours By Veronica Lynne Owens 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!"

Participating schools svk'cl (heir candiilates on basis of these ten points as suggested by GLAMOUR: (1) Appro- priate look for off-campus occasions; (2) A clear understanding of her fashion type; (3) Clean, shining, well-kept hair; <4) Imagination in managing a clothes budget; (5) A workable wardrobe plan; (13) A deft hand for make-up; (7) Individuality in the use of her colors and accessories; (8) A suitable campus look (in line with local customs); (9) Good grooming; and (10) Good figure and posture. Candidates who win in local contests are entered into the national competition. Those selected as the TEN UE ST -DRESSED GIRLS IN AMERICA will be given an all-expense paid trip to New York City and numerous other prizes and awards. Loraine Brown, Junior Frankie Strickland, Winner WINNER. At left, Frankie Strick- land, senior tailoring and dressmak- ing major, was chosen by a majority of students at Savannah State Col- lege who cast ballots in the election to be the best-dressed girl on campus, Frankie is from Darien, Georgia. She participates in the Home Eco- nomics Club, the Girls' Glee Club, 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.

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 academic advising and personal counseling must be established. the report says.

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. Gulf Oil Corp.

THE TIGER'S ROAR February - March, 196'^ 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, SUITS FOR SPRING .. .is next month's feature, with a look at the newest in colors, cuts and fabrics for Spring and Summer of '63.

Student Councils Invited To Enter Contest The Annual Richard Welling Student Government Achieve- ment Competition was estab- lished in 1957 by the National Self - Government Committee. Inc. and the United States Na- tional Student Association. The Competition is designed to give suitable recognition to outstand- ing student government ac- tivities at USNSA member schools. The Competition was named in honor of Richard Welling '1858-1946), the founder of the National Self-Government Com- mittee. Through his work in municipal reform as a young man, Mr. Welling developed a 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 'develop the alert citizens needed in a democracy by prac- tice in schools, colleges, and other youth groups."

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." .
