Federal Aid to
Education Debate
Topic For Season

The SSC Collegiate Debating
Society is in the midst of
planning for its forthcoming de-
bating season.

The debate topic for this year
is Resolved: That the Federal
Government should guarantee
an opportunity for higher edu-
cation to all qualified high
school graduates

James Brown, president of the
Debating Society, contends that
the SSC debaters are looking
forward to a banner year.

Although the Debating Society
lost two of its key debaters the
advisor when questioned on the
strength and weaknesses of the
society seemed optimistic be-
cause of the fact that several
replacements have been made.
The advisor feels that these new-
comers will compensate for the
two graduates. Bobby Hill and
Verlyn Bell.

Commenting on the topic for
the year, Mr. E, J, Josey. Advisor
for the society stated that "The
topic itself is very timely. Never
before in the history of our na-
tion have there been so many
youths hungry for an oppor-
tunity for higher education. Be-
cause of family financial prob-
lems, these qualified youngsters
are not able to continue their
education beyond high school,"

Other officers of the Debating
Society are Robert Patrick, vice
president; Theresa Smart, secre-
tary; and Alex Habersham, re-
porter.

THE TIGER'S BOAR

October. 1963

iiiDa^iiia^iL

By Elmer Thomas

Most of us here are quite aware of the fact that this nation
Is in the midst of a great struggle to determine If and when Negro
citizens will be granted equal and full rights as American citizens.

We salute the individuals responsible for carrying out these
efforts, and urge persons to involve themselves with the movement
at least as moral supporters if not as active participants.

Much has been said about the righteousness of the struggle
for more civil liberties by Negroes, and we do not deem It necessary
to present arguments here and now on this particular point.

We do. however, think that it Is our responsibility to point out
the kind of role we must play In bringing about changes from what
has heretofore been the accepted custom.

MORE PRIVILEGES, MORE RESPONSIBILITIES THIS WE
MUST ACCEPT AS TRUE, AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.

Many of us at this college have witnessed and/or participated
In a struggle in which one segment of the college population pitted
Itself against another segment over the extent to which student
rights should reach, We consider the fact that such a disturbance
occurred as unfortunate, but owing to the lack of faculty-student
communicalton on different matters, it seems that such a conflict
was bound to occur sooner or later. Anyhow, It now seems that
a plan is in the making to Improve student-faculty relations and
give students more say-so in college affairs.

The real objective of this editorial Is to appeal to the good
sense of our students in the hopes that such an appeal would
result in our coming to realize that being a full citizen not only
involves rights and privileges, but certain amounts of co-operation
and civic- mindedness are expected from each Individual.

As far from the subject as it may seem, the conduct of student-s
during the registration period was far from being desirable. In
fact, we feel justified in saying that It was downright disgraceful.

The situation to which we refer developed while students were
waiting "in line" In front of the business office. There was push-
ing, shoving and numerous displays of un-collegiate conduct.

Part of the blame, we believe, can be placed on the slow and
clumsy system of registration used here. While we do not claim
to be experts on such matters as regiseration techniques, we do
know of several schools, some mucli larger than SSC, where regis-
tration Is not such a long drawn out affair.

Even if the system seems clumsy, there can be no excuse to
justify the conduct of Savannah State students on that particular
day.

It should be our aim. therefore, to gain all facilities and
privileges which should be ours. Along with tills, we should see
to it that our houses are in order, and remember that not only
does a democratic society owe certain rights to men. but men also
owe a certain iimount of civic-mindedness and co-operation to
society.

A Letter to Continuing Students at SSC

Dear Colleagues,

We have by-passed the old
quarter at SSC, now we have
entered a new one. Let us start
off on the right foot and make
the best of the new quarter. Let
us lake advantage of it at our
institution.

In this new quarter let us try
to grasp some constructive con-
tribution that we were not able
to obtain In the past quarter.

Perhaps the quarter served
some well, maybe not too well
to others. To those that were
not successful, accept that quar-
ter as a challenge and make SSC
worthy of us. Prove to our Alma
Mater that we can be the best
students in any educational
community.

We can not prove this point.
nor accept this challenge, by
sitting back expecting an award
for their efforts.

We must support our student
activities and our student gov-
ernment. We must co-operate
with our instructors who are
here to help us prepare for
responsibilities as men and
women In future America.

We must all co-operate and
work wholeheartedly together.
We must be active and alert so
everyone can say, "We did it."

During this quarter let our
alms be to better Savannah
State College in every way and
to become worthy students.

IIow Does It Feel
To Be a Problem?

By James Brown, Jr,

Since being brought to this
country, the American Negro has
been labeled a problem. A prob-
lem in that as early as coloniza-
tion, Negroes or black men were
denied the opportunity to serve
as indentured servants, This
denial was made because black
men were treated and looked
upon as inhuman. Thus the
introduction of slavery was com-
menced in the new colonies.

Today, more than one hundred
years after President Abraham
Lincoln signed the Emancipa-
tion. Negroes are still looked
upon as a problem. Being a prob-
lem calls for many special con-
siderations. Special rest rooms
in public places of accommoda-
tions, special restaurants or
corners to stand on to eat.
special schools to attend, special
or limited vocations to earn a
livelihood, special residential
areas to live, special cabs to ride,
and special public places to rest
the weary body are some of the
many special considerations
America has given the Negro
citizen.

Since 1960. the American
Negro is increasingly saying, "I
am not a problem but a man
who happens to be a little darker
than most men in this country,"
Today more than ever the
American Negro is denouncing
"Special Treatment." and crying,
'Ole freedom over me, and be-
fore I'll be a slave. I'll be burled
In my grave and go home to my
Lord and be free,"

The black man has had a long
history of fighting for his rights.
The black man is constantly
fighting and proving to the
world that he is not a problem,
nor has he created a problem.
The problem was created by
white America who refuses to
accept the Negro as a first class
citizen.

A Chat With
A Freshman

By Gwendolyn Buchanan

Hello Freshmen, welcome to
our school. How do you like our
campus?

It is a lovely campus, but
don't look so shy and afraid.

Oh! Home sick already?
Alone on our big campus, a
stranger in a bright new world.

Don't worry about the
upper-classmen; we won't bother
you much.

Huh? Gee dormitory life is
wonderful, You girls will only
have to sign out when you are
ready to leave campus or at-
tend something on campus.
What's better than getting up
every morning at six to get ready
for breakfast? There's nothing
better than coming in every
evening at 7:00 P.M. for you,

Instructors bah! ^ I
wouldn't worry too much about
them. They can be really nice
people. They aren't exactly anti-
students as you may think.
They'll help you. They won't
even flunk you unless you
happen to be one of the unlucky
few.

No I couldn't say the lesson
is hard, I'll just say you'll have
enough assignments to burn a
little midnight oil. You see.
sometimes you don't have but
three chapters to read.

I wouldn't worry about
flunking just worry about
passing.

Yes there's plenty to do in
your free time.

You mean on weekends?
Well, you can walk to the center,
walk to the dining hall, walk to
B- J.'s, walk to the shopping
center, walk back to the dorm
walk to .

What? Something for an
energetic person to do?

Well Isn't all of that walk-
ing enough?

So you think you are going
to tike State?

I hope you do. You'll find
S.S,C. to be one of the best I
hope.

Gee It was nice talking with
you Hope to see you around.

Oh no, I'm not a Senior, I'm
a second quarter Freshman. I
was here this summer.

Somebody Said It
Couldn't Be Done

By William Martin

Somebody said it couldn't be

done;
But he, with a big grin replied.
That he would never be one to

say it couldn't be done.
At least, not until he'd tried It,
So he buckled right in, without

trace of a grin;
By golly, he went right to it.
He tackled the thing that

couldn't be done;
And found that he couldn't do It.

jig/i/ Hall

By Robert W. Patrick

With the beginning of a new
school year, the students of Sa-
vannah State College and the
men of Wright Hall are faced
with a multiplicity of responsi-
bilities. Under the capable lead-
ership of Mrs, S, H, Watson, the
dormitory director, and Oree
Rawls, the Dormitory Council
president, the residents are
assured of a great year.

A premonition by itself is far
from being a sufficient basis for
predicting a successful year, but
with premonition, co-operation
and efficient leadership, one
couid be right in assuming that
the staff of Wright Hall can
initiate a program that will be
workable and one that will meet
the vicissitudes of the present
day college student.

This year. Wright Hall will be
responsible not only for enhanc-
ing certain aspects of the col-
lege's program, but it also will
promote the improvement of
personality and character of
each student.

As usual, Wright Hall will be
striving for a first-place float
in the Homecoming Parade,

Plans are in the making for a
superior spring ball, a top rate
vesper program, and entertain-
ment for the college at large.
These affairs, and possibly
others, can be expected from
Wright Hall as she strives for
a successful year.

NEWS NOTES

By Robert Patrick

What is the Young Men's
Christian Association? This is
the question that many students
do not think about today, be-
cause of their decreasing interest
in the religoius aspects of life.
This sign of negligence with
reference to one's religion is in-
creasing because of the limited
number of organizations that
are established for the purpose
of teaching one to conform with
the moral order of society, as
well as loving his fellowman,
treating others as one wishes to
be treated, keeping the com-
mandments and serving the
Lord God, not because of legis-
lative forces, but because of a
willingness to do right, respect
for human dignity and tlie faith
and confidence we have in God

The Savannah State College
Y.M.C.A. is functioning for the
purpose of helping to do the
following:

1- To develop a growing un-
derstanding of christian faith
and its meaning for living today,

2, To make students aware of
unmet needs, on and off campus,
and to enlist them in projects
designed to meet such needs,

3- To widen the horizon of
students, to eliminate prejudice
and provincialism through com-
munication with students and
other people of different re-
ligious, cultural, racial and na-
tional background.

4. To offer fellowship-groups
in which a student may have a
sense of belonging, a feeling of
being somebody and to develop
social responsibility.

As president of the Y,M,C,A,.
I will take the first step in try-
ing to encourage affiliation with
the ascociation. We begin to
solicit memberships and are
counting on your support.

Some men are like pyra-
mids, which are very broad
where they touch the ground,
but grow narrow as they
reach the sky,

GREETINGS:

As president of the Student
Council, I wish to welcome re-
turning students and offer a
hand of fellowship to new stu-
dents.

Savannah State College is
turning with the wheels of
progress, and I am sure that
you can see evidence of this fact
as you journey around our beau-
tiful campus. The wheels of
progress have begun to turn for
Savannah State College. But
whose responsibility Is it to ac-
celerate these wheels and main-
tain a continuous revolution?
Permit me to answer this ques-
tion for you. It is your responsi-
bility as a member of the col-
lege family to keep the wheels
revolving. Your returning to or
your entering Savannah State
College Is evidence that you want
to prepare yourself for the new
demands that will confront you
in the future. Fellow students,
in order to be prepared, you
must utilize your time wisely and
become devoted to your studies.
You will have to engage in
extra-reading activities and stop
wasting time lounging around

the college center and partici-
pating in activities that do not
contribute to scholarship or
preparation for the future.

JACK MILLINi:S
President of the Student Council

I hope that your stay here at
Savannah State College will be
a most enlightening and enjoy-
able one. There may be times
when you will bo discouraged,
but I ask you to keep the faith.
I wish you success in all of
your endeavors.

Jack E. Mllllnes,

President of Student Council

Botvling Leagues Being Organized

By Cynthia Love

The formation of bowling
teams is now in progress at Sa-
vannah State College, In this
year's organization of bowling
teams, we are striving toward
more student interest and par-
ticipation. We also anticipate the
setting up of a larger league.

The purpose of the formation
of teams In the high schools and
colleges Is to create better
sportsmanship among the stu-
dents, to give them better co-
ordination and to create In them
an appreciation for wholesome
activities.

Last year an estimate of seven
teams participated In one of the
most enjoyable sports of our
time from SSC. This year we
hope to have a larger partici-
pation among the students and
the faculty.

Sandra Heyward, president of
last year's organization, and
Cynthia Love, league coordinator
of Hi Hat Lanes, will be avail-
able to give anyone interested
information concerning the
team.

Free bowling instructional
classes are being held at Hi Hat
Lanes every Saturday from 9

a,m, until 3 p.m. For further
information concerning the
classes contact Mr. Alphonso
McLean or Cynthia Love at
AD 2-1138.

Library Story Hour

By Jean Stewart

The SSC Library's weekly
.sponsored "Let's Listen to a
Story Hour" reconvened on
Thursday afternoon In the col-
lege library. The Story Hour is
under the direction of Miss
A 1 1 h e a Williams, circulation
librarian. The Story Hour Is open
to youngsters In the community
from age 3-10. However,
periodically, Mrs. Thelma Har-
mond and her Children's Litera-
ture class assist with the Story
Hour.

the introduction of children to
books at a very early age will
give them a love for and an ap-
preciation of books.

Fall Fashions For
Men For 1963

By Earl Waltower

Styles in men's clothes are
forever changing, though mostly
in good taste. This general
pattern of gradual change is
apparent in the fall's fashions of
suits, sweaters, and sport coats.

In men's suits, the big fashion
news is the trend toward
medium tones in contrast to
the somber dark hues that
dominated men's wear last fall.

Another new fall fashion is
the tweed suit in rough textures
and brawny herringbone, which
are equally at home in the city,
suburban area, or country.

Thanks to the President's
fondness of the two-button suit,
this highly styled model will be
extremely popular this fall.

Meanwhile, m sport coats,
there is a great revival of the
various shades of camel, black
and gray.

Sweaters have been almost
completely captured by the in-
creasingly popular "Alpaca" look
which is appropriate for campus.

FASHIONS

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

Welcome back to the halls of higher learning! And here we go,
with the 1963/64 series on correct dress and grooming genied to
you to help you earn extra credits as the well-dressed miin-nbout-
campus.

This sGiison, the big topic is the return to tweed rugged, textured,
and in a wide variety of patterns. Take tweed into account when
you're picking out your sport jackets, and for a new suit to wear
on or ofT-cnmpus, on weekends, or what you \

RUNNING NECK AND NECK in the sweep-

stakes for tweed sport jackets are race-track
plaids. Iierringbones and diagonals. Race-track
patterns are found in strong, vigorous color
combinations like gold, amber and blue, while
the biggest thing in herringbone is bold
black-and-white or black-and-gray. Multicolor
diagonals come in heather tones with a muted,
misty effect. Even the ubiquitous blazer is
newly disguised in tweed, with broad^almost
awning stripes in unusual and interesting
colors. Whatever you choose, your jacket still
sports its classic cut, straight-hanging, with
natural shoulders, center vent and 3-button
closure.

THE CAMELS ARE COMING-This rich, medium brown shade
will blend well with every other color in your wardrobe so look
for came! color in sport jackets, cardigans, pullovers and zipper
jackets-, among other thing?, Ynu name it you'll find it in camel!

STRONG, STURDY CORDUROY is still the mainstay of the

campus wardrobe especially in the newer, wider-wale weaves.
Sport jackets come equipped with the popular leather patches that
keep you from coming out-at-elbow while adding a smart touch.
Both jackets and slacks will be in demand in the neutral, natural
tans, while olives are with us still. Or you might try the latest
corduroy camel, what else?

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF SLACKS-as ions as the variety^
confined to fabric. Cut remains trim and tapered, pleatless and
with a plain waistband. Real winners are worsteds with a smooth
finish, or wool-and-polyester blends with a flannel finish. Take a
look at both darker and intermediate tones o.^ford grays, olives,
dark brown, as well as the middle mixtures then make your com-
mand decision on the basis of the blend or contrast with your
jackets.

RIDING HIGH on campuses throughout the
country is the hi-riser shoe, now available in
smooth leathers like cordovan, as well as
brushed leathers. A good choice for all but the
most formal occasion or the football field is
the popular slip-on. The traditional moccasin is
the theme and its variations are very nearly
unlimited! Grained leather slip-ons are new
for Fall, and watch particularly for grained
leathers in black. Equally smart is the wing-
tip, one of this season's revivals.

Math and Physics
Graduates Hohl
Good Positions

The Mathematics and Physics
Department of Savannah State
College has. this year, revised its
program so that it can better
meet the growing demands of
Mathematics and Physics,

The new program includes the
approaches as well as the courses
recommended by the school's
Mathematics Study Group in
1960. We are continuing to
change our textbooks, course
outlines and other teaching ma-
terials to meet today's challenge.

The Department of Mathe-
matics and Physics has seven
members on its staff, three of
whom are teachers of Physics
and Physical Science, and the
other four instruct classes in
mathematics.

The Department of Mathe-
matics and Physics has a well-
trained staff, one of whom holds
the Ph.D. degree and one other
has completed course require-
ments for the same degree, and
still another is presently study-
ing for the Ph.D. degree in
mathematics.

A new Mathematics and
Physics wing is proposed in a
new classroom building, which
is to be constructed in 1963-64.
This building and equipment will
give the necessary strength that
this program needs.

The present program is de-
signed not only to prepare better
teachers of Mathematics and
Physics, but to provide them
with the courses necessary to
work or do further study in areas
such as linear programming and
computers, statistical research,
electranics, guided missile engi-
neering, mathematician for
various phases of industrial re-
search, actuary science and over
twenty branches of govern-
mental services.

Some are the recent graduates
are successfully employed as
mathematicians both in and
outside the state of Georgia.

Stiideiits Progress In l(\periiiipntal Research

Dr. Charles Pratt, head of
Chemistry Department requested
for the establishment of a
Graduate Department in the
area of Science.

This request was made because
of a research that the students
are doing with the cotton seed
and acorn oil. Knowledge about
this experimental research was
obtained by Dr. Pratt when he
recently attended the American
Oil Chemist Society in Minne-
apolis, Minnesota, At this
assembly the recently acquired
knowledge about the cotton seed
and acorn oil was discussed.

Students are now participat-
ing in this research at Savannah
State College. Their participa-
tion will give them an educa-
tional advantage in having first
hand information about the re-
search.

The Chemistry Department,
being a member of the National
Science Foundation Progress has
received numerous grants from
Scientific Foundations. Some of
the funds contributed will be
invested for the establishing of
a Chemistry library. This library
will be located in the Technical
Science building. It is assured
that this library is of great

necessity for students doing re-
search. They will have constant
need of a departmental library

of they are to continue to ex-
plore unknown elements success-
fully.

Dostoyt'vsky's
The Brothcr.s Karamazov

The Savannah State College
Library's Great Books Discussion
Group lield Its third discussion
on Wednesday evening. Novem-
ber 6, at 8 o'clock In the college
library. The group discussed
Dostoycvsky's THE BROTHERS
KARAMAZOV.

The Great Books Discussion
Group is sponsored by the Great
Books Foundation. The readings
and the discussions are thought
provoking. The Great Books
Foundation contends that "the
Great Books speak directly to
every man about himself and
about his human concerns.
These voices are original, force-
ful, clear. Botla timeless and
timely, they deal with our basic
problems, the persistent ques-
tions that each person asks him-
self and that every society's
forced to deal with now and
always."

THE BROTHERS KARAMA-
ZOV, like the other great works
discussed Is one of the immortal
works of the ages that shows all
of the frailties and the greatness
of human beings. Many critics
contend that the spirituality of
Dostoyevsky is dramatically dis-
played in this work Members of
the group found this title to be
provocative and stimulating.

Persons interested in Joining
the Discussion Group are invited
to attend. Dr. J. W. Jamerson.
a local dentist and Mr. E. J.
Josey. College Librarian, are co-
leaders.

Lei Us Give Thanks

Very soon, men nil over the country will be witnessing another
Thanksgiving Day. A lioJiday that will be accepted with and with-
out thanks among people.

Many people accept this day as just another holiday. Some
accept this as a day when relatives and friends get together and
least upon the many goodies that have been provided for them.
Very few pause to think about the what, when and why of this
particular day. Then, there are those people who feel that there
Is notliing special about this day. To them every day is Thanics-
givlng, every day is a day for one to give Thanks.

How do you accept this day? Are you one of the many people
who feel that they have nothing to be thankful for? If you feel
this way. it is time that you begin exploring the many things for
wlilch you can be thankful.

First, thank God that you are living. Think of the countless
number of deaths that have happened and are happening around
you. Some deaths right in the family. It could have been you.
Thank God for sparing your life.

Think abou! the many crooked roads that have been straight-
ened out for you to travel. Roads that your forefathers had to
travel with bent backs because of racial barriers and heavy burdens.
You can be thankful for such a great man as Martin King and his
many courageous followers who have strengthened and paved these
freedom roads for the Negro race.

Think about the many privileges that you now have, the schools
that you can now attend, the tlieaters. parks, restaurants now
open lo you. Think about the many opportunities that you have
now that weren't available to you just last year.

You have much to be thankful for, Before eating your Thanks-
giving meal, pause to look around the table. Look at the table full
of the delicious food. Look around at the familiar faces, your
mother, father, sister, brother, even a relative or a very close
friend. Imagine sitting at a table with a glass of water and a
piece of hard bread. Just imagine a Thanksgiving Day like this
without a family or friend.

Remember the many things to be tliankful for on Thanksgiving
and "let us give thanks."

Are Yoiu* Behavior Patterns
Acceptable as College Students?

By Bennie Brown
Are our behavior patterns ac-
ceptable as true college stu-
dents? Tlie answer to this ques-
tion is obvious. No, our behavior
patterns are not acceptable as
true college students. Many may
not know what is meant by the
terms beliavior and patterns. For
those who do not know, read
carefully the psychological
definition given by Floyd L,
Ruch. author of Psychology and
Ufe. Mr. Ruch states that be-
havior patterns are a sequence
of actions which the organism
employs to adjust to a particular
situation in the outer world or
within itself. He even gives some
examples of behavior patterns
such as coughing, sneezing,
slapping a mosquito, walking,
eating, jumping out of the way
of an automobile, and voting at
an election.

At one time or another all of
us have reacted to at least one
of the above behavior patterns.
In our case, I am not speaking

about those types of behavior
patterns used by Mr. Rucli. I am
speaking about those behavior
patterns that are not becoming
of us as true college students.

I liave noticed during chapel
programs many students doing
class assignments, some talk-
ing, even sleeping and not giving
the speaker any attention at all.
Do you think this is correct on
our part?

The President of the Student
Council has already mentioned
some behavior patterns that we
should take heed to. They are
to stop pushing in line during
registration and to stop cutting
line in the dining hall. As for
the registration line, certainly
there should be some improve-
ment. Can't we adjust ourselves
to these particular situations?
I'm sure we can. Let us not wait
until tomorrow ; begin today.
Let's be true college students.
Let's give these things our con-
sideration and we shall be well
on our way toward that goal.

The time has again rolled
around when the Savannah
State College family gather once
more under the mossy trees for
the purpose of renewing old
acquaintances.

The greatest homecoming that
the alumni, faculty, students,
and the community have ever
witnessed Is planned to get
underway on Saturday. Novem-
ber 9. 1963. Although this annual
affair is traditional, the entire
family of Savannah State Col-
lege is looking forward to it with
a terrific elevation of spirits.

This year there will be more
beautifully decorated floats than
ever before. Hundreds of spec-
tators will be on hand to wel-
come the homecoming cele-
brants. Under the beautiful
canopy of the Spanish moss that
symbolizes to thousands of our
alumni, the dear and cherished
Alma Mater will ring the chimes
that will sound loud and clear,
calling home from far and near
its loyal sons and daughters.

What does Homecoming mean
to you? Think for a moment be-
fore attempting to answer this
question. To most of us home-
coming merely means a team's
victory. To many of us this is
uppermost in our minds. On the
other hand, there are a few who
associate this day with getting
one of the newest-styled outfits
and looking as if we have just
stepped out of Vogue magazine.

There is no doubt about it.
ail of our co-eds will make a
beautiful picture representing
Savannah State College, Home-
coming lias a more sacred mean-
ing than just beautiful repre-
sentation.

This historical day does not
need to be just a repetition of
those gone by. There are few
who like to see the same picture
over and over again, because it
leads to boredom. We as mem-
bers of the college family should
look forward to this day as we
do other nationally celebrated
holidays. We should take pride
in this celebration, for each of
us is indebted to play our part
on this unforgettable occasion.
By doing our duty and showing
our school spirit, we can be suc-
cessful in helping our cheer-
leaders cheer our team to ulti-
mate victory.

By Ernest Patrick Lavender

What definite purpose does a
fraternity serve? Is the money,
sleepless nights, and devotion
put into fraternities necessary?
These questions are being asked
by non-Greeks on college
campuses all over the United
States.

The first fraternity was Phi
Beta Kappa founded in 1776 at
William and Mary College, From
the founding of this fraternity.
Phi Beta Kappa, there have
stemmed sixty-one national fra-
ternities called by a combination
of every letter of the Greek
alphabet from Alpha to Omega
lexcept Eta, Iota and Omlcrom),
There are over 3200 student
chapters in the United States
and Canada.

In the early part of the
Twentieth Century the Negro
fraternity came into existance
Alpha Phi Alplia at Cornell Uni-
versity on December 4, 1906 ;
Kappa Alpha Psi at Indiana Uni-
versity on January 5. 1911;
Omega Psi Phi at Howard Uni-
versity on November 17, 1911;
Phi Beta Sigma at Howard Uni-
versity on January 9, 1914. Most
of these fraternities were
founded on the same principle,
to establish a relationship that
would bring students closer to-
gether.

Today at Savannah State Col-
lege there are four fraternity
chapters. Delta Eta Chapter of
Alpha Piii Alpha established in

1949. Gamma Ghi Chapter of
Kappa Alpha Psi established in

1950. Alpha Gamma Chapter of
Omega Psi Phi established in
1949 and Gamma Zeta Chapter
of Phi Beta Sigma established
in 1949. Taking a look around
campus, you'll see that Greeks
are more active in campus
organizations than non-Greeks.

Greeks contribute to the
academic standing of the col-
leges as well as extra-curricular
activity. There are Greeks tak-
ing part in every phase of ac-
tivity on campus from honor
societies to athletics. Careful ob-
servation will reveal that various
fraternal organizations are mak-
ing all kinds of contributions to
the college as well as the com-
munity. The members of Alpha

Man's Greatness
Emerges, Times
Science Ed. Says

Man is entering his period of
"greatest opportunity for the
flowering of his mind and spirit
an age in which science will
have banished the possibility of
nuclear war." William Laurence,
science editor of The New York
Times, said recently.

He labeled a "complete im-
possibility" any chance that
China will develop a nuclear
weapon "for a long time in the
future."

Russia was able to build an
alomic bomb as quickly as it did.
he said, only because she
captured many German scient-
ists who had been working in
the nuclear field for the Nazis.

All-out war has become un-
thinkable. Mr, Laurence said.

"This has never before hap-
pened. Every war in the past was
started by an aggressor who
thought he could win." No one
would win a nuclear war, he
added.

Mr. Laurence said tlie West
has a nuclear edge over the
Communist nations, but added
the view that Free World nuclear
stockpiles should not be regarded
as a threat of doom. These stand
as a "shield protecting the Free
World."

Phi Alpha give an award
annually to the highest ranking
Freshman scholastically. They
make a financial contribution to
the NAACP, Crusade for Votes,
and to Greenbrier Orphange.
Last year they worked with the
Heart Fund and the Savannah
Blood Bank. Kappa Alpha Psi
gives an award to the highest
ranking freshman. They sponsor
a Christmas Box for the needy
and they make financial contri-
butions to tlie various organi-
zations in Savannah. Omega Psi
Plii sells Christmas Seals as a
Charity project during the
Christmas season to fight TB.
They conduct an Essay Contest
for High School students and
give awards to outstanding per-
sons and make contributions to
different organizations. Phi Beta
Sigma is very active in the sup-
port of the college and com-
munity; they make awards and
give contributions. In the form
of beautification of the campus.
all of the Greek letetr organ-
izations have parks, beautiful
parks that are kept in condition
by their pledges. These parks
add to the natural beauty that
is present here on our campus.
Most of all, these fraternities
which are spoken of as an un-
civilized procedure by non-
Greeks stress the importance of
academic achievement.

Fraternities, whether taken
seriously or not, seem to fill some
sort of gap in college life. Col-
leges with fraternities recognize
this. I think, most all college
administrators would, in some
respect, be sorry to see fraterni-
ties go.

When college fraternities came .
into being there were no tele-
phones, no televisions, no cars.
College was cloistered; life was
monastic and home far away.
Fraternities then provided relief
from the tedium of college class-
room study.

Let me urge you fellow Greeks
to make your fraternity chapter
mean something to yourself and
most of all to the colleges and
to the community. Prove to the
non-believer that there are
sound motives behind your
organization. Prove to the peo-
ple against you that you serve a
good purpose.

Students Express
Views ill Assembly

The Student Body was given
an opportunity to express their
views and opinions about con-
ditions and situation at Savan-
nah State College during an
assembly program on October
18. 1963. This assembly program
was presented by the Student
Council with Mary Moss, assist-
ant secretary, presiding.

Miss Moss presented a few
situations concerning the be-
havior of college students to tlie
students for their consideration
and improvement. Then students
were given the opportunity to
express their opinions of condi-
tions that the administration
should deal with.

Their views were concerning
the planning of a better method
of registering, the paying of
activity fee during the summer,
but activities were not offered,
the need of activities for married
individuals, the need of more
ironing equipment in the girl's
dormitory, the need of more ac-
tivities for the student body
during the day, the opening of
the College Center at night and
the opportunity for the female
members of the Debating Society
to travel with the society on out-
of-town debates.

The assembly program was an
enjoyable and a beneficial one
to the students present because
of the fact that it isn't always
that a student can express his
feelings about conditions on the
campus openly.

The Student Council is now
in the process of coping with the
situations presented to them by
the students.

Acad, Probation
At Muhlenberg

Allentown, Pa. iI.P.i Regu-
lations for academic probation at
Muhlenberg College have been
revised by faculty action. Major
revisions include placing proba-
tion on a year-long basis and
separting extracurrcular activi-
ties from academic probation.
The revised regulations follow:

1. Academic probation consti-
tutes a warning notice to the
student that his work has fallen
below tlie standard necessary to
allow him to achieve graduation.

2. A student will be placed on
academic probation for the fol-
lowing causes;

I at If his cumulative average
falls below the minimum stand-
ard for entering the classifica-
tion of the succeeding year, as
follows; For admission to the
sophomore year class (24 sem.
his. I, 1.3: for admission to the
junior class (56 sem. hrs.), 1.5;
For admission to the senior class
188 sem, hrs.). 1,7.

(b) If at the end of the second
year of residence lie has not
completed one year each of Eng-
lish, foreign language, history,
mathematics, physical education,
and science.

)c) If at tlie end of the third
year of residence he has not
completed two years each of
English and physical education
and the course(s) in foreign
language required for his de-
gree,

(di If at the end of each year
of residence he has not met the
requirements for proceeding to
the next classification.

le) If at the end of his third
year of residence his cumulative
average in all subjects taken in
his major field shall have fallen
below 2.0.

(f) If his yearly average in
any year falls below 1.0. whether
or not his cumulative average is
thereby brought below the mini-
mum standard.

3. All freshmen shall be per-
mitted one full academic year
in which to attain a satisfactory
standard of academic work,
although at the end of his first
semester a freshman may be
warned by being placed on pro-
balion that his work is unsatis-
factory. If at the end of his first
year at the College a student has
not achieved an average of at
least 1.0 he may be dismissed
from the College.

4 Probation will be for a
period of one academic year,
although a student who plans
to attend summer school at the
College, and who may thereby
be enabled to lift his probation,
may petition the Dean of the
College for an extension of his
probation to the end of the
summer session.

5. A student who fails to
achieve good standing by the

Care of Men's Clothing

By Earl Waltower

Fellows, if you are concerned about the length of wear that
you are getting out of your clothing, it it's a short wear, perhaps
you have been neglecting the care of them. The easily acquired
habit of not brushing suits and of hanging jackets on hooks too
frequently give mute testimony of carelessness and neglect.

Part of a good appearance is the proper maintenance of cloth-
ing. A little precaution can bring much longer life to your wardrobe.

Never throw a coat over a chair. Always use a regular hanger,
never a hook, to hang your coats or jackets. Keep the garment or
coat unbuttoned on a hanger. This avoids stretch and strain.

Give some serious thought to a supply of shaped hangers for
your coats and jackets. These hangers are constructed along the
naturally curved lines of the shoulders and are very definitely an
asset in helping to keep up the built-in contour of your outer
garments.

Even if you don't wish to toss your supply of straight hangers
into the furnaces, be sure to brush the suit thoroughly and often.
at least after every other wearing. Dust removal is part of the
fixed schedule in well-regulated households, and there's no good
reason why clothes should be overlooked. Wearing clothes doesn't
rid them of dust, it simply adds it.

It's a good idea to air the garment before hanging it in the
closet. Just hang it on the door of an open closet, on a valet stand
or anywhere in the rooui. A few hours or overnight exposure to
the normally circulating air of a room will evaporate any moisture
collected and will also tend to hang out the wrinkles. You'd be
surprised what the moisture content in a suit does to lessen the life
of those imported threads that hold the seams together. While
talking of brushing clothes, don't overlook your pocket linings.
They can become quite a depository for tobacco, lint, thread, paper
clips, stamps, receipts and odd coins. It is the better part of valor
to turn pockets inside out once every so often and whiskbroom
them.

Incidentally, about tomorrow morning, see if you can change
your habit of putting your shoes on before you are In trousers.
Prom a purely practical point of view, it eliminates the tension of
seams as well as lessens the probability of fabric stretching.

Before you hastily decide to save time by wearing the same
suit you wore the day before, just remember that a rest period
between wearing will also require less frequent pressing.

All these suggestions add up to keeping your appearance and
they will help multiply the serviceable life your clothes were made
to give.

end of his probationary period
will be dismissed from the Col-
lege. Dismissal for academic rea-
sons will be for a minimum of
one semester.

6. A student dismissed for
academic reasons may apply to
the Dean of the College for re-
admission after one semester.
Ordinarily, this application must
be accompanied by evidence of
successful academic work com-
pleted during the period of dis-
missal. If the application is ap-
proved, readmisison will be on
probation, for a period of one
semester only. A second dis-
missal will be final, and no ap-
plication for readmission will be
entertained.

7. For purpose of determin-
ing probation, an "Incomplete"
grade will be computed as a
failure, except that satisfaction
of "Incompletes" by grades that
would restore the student to
good standing may lift probation
immediately.

8. This College believes that
any student permitted to emoll
in the College should be allowed
to judge of the wisdom of his
participating in extra-curricular
activities. Therefore, no neces-
sary connection exists between
probation and eligibility to par-
ticipate in such activities.

lishers Association, representing
daily newspapers in the United
States and Canada, will sponsor
for the fourth time a Journalistic
Writing Contest as part of the
40th Annual Contest and Con-
vention of the Columbia

whicli journalistic writing plays
in the daily life of the American
people, to stress the increasing
importance of the accurate re-
porting and interpretation of

bilities of the individual in the
achievement of these objectives.

submitted for the awards must
have appeared in a school news-
paper.

A woil pl-'innc-d wardrobe is the only real guarnntee of a well-
dressed appearance. A common mistake made by young men is to
buy clothes that attract them without considering how they'll fit
in with the clothes they already own. "Wardrobe buying" doesn't
mean bankrupting yourself buying matched sets of everything at
once, but the suits, shirts, ties, shoes and hats you buy this Fall
must coordinate and complement each other. Let'a take a look at
your new wardrobe for Fall.

NATURAL SHOULDER, NATURALLY-

Tlio niiliiral sliouldor MJIhouettc remains
the oiilstanding faahion favorite among
young men this Fall, cut on straight-hang-
ing lines, with center-vented jackets,
flapped pockets and narrow, medium
length lapels. Generally they'll be seen in
three button models, but the infhience of
rtf/fl/irous New Frontier styling has oc-
casioned some trend toward two button
jackets. Trousers are tapered and pleat-
le-is.

THE RISING HAIRLINE . . . isn't a pc-

sonal grooming problem you have to face
yet, but an indication of the big rise in
popularity for hairline stripings in young
men's suits this Fall. You'll see them
against every color background, but par-
ticularly gray. Gray, seen in a wide range
of tones from light chalky grays to dark
Combinations with blue, black and olive.
is the fashion-first color in natural shoul-
der tailored apparel this Fall. Of course,
the blue suit is always with us, and a good
bet for your basic dress-up suit is a dark
blue or bhie-gray worsted. And, in both
blues and grays, fashion excitement for '
Fall is generated by large muted glen
plaids. Blues, grays and olives all get to-
gether in new olive and olive-blue casts in
ail-wool, worsted and polyester blended
fibers.

SEMI-DRESS STRIPES... describes the

wide raiiKP of Mg wide stripes in dress
shirts tliis Fall. These stripes, for high-
interest contrast with your solid color
suits, are bigger and wider than ever, and
fit into the semi-dress, lesa-than-big-date
category. Red and white is the front-run-
ning favorite, but check out the wide blue
and white and olive and white combina-
tions. Definitely dressier are the plain
white and solid color oxfords in soft
shades to coordinate with the new hair-
line stripes. Widespread collars won't go
with your natural shoulder suit. Choose
a medium spread button-down or a snap-
tab collar.

iltlNb IHt KNOT. . . on your fashion package doesn't simply end

with niiitching neckwear colors to your suit. Not only color, but
pattern must be balanced with your suit and shirt. Natural shoulder
styling calls for regimental neckwear, and regimental stripes are
getting bolder and bigger to match new wide stripings on shirts.
For a change of pace, and still in step with your natural shoulder
suits, take a look at the muted dark tones in new printed figures on
silk foulard or wool challis ties.

FROM THE GROUNO OP ... is the way to build anything, includ-
ing a well-dressed appearance. To coordinate with all your natu-
rally tailored apparel, your basic shoe wardrobe should include a
pair of dark red-brown cordovans or cordovan color calfskin laced-
fronts, and a pair of black slip-ons or laced-front models in either
plain toe or moccasin design. Stick to plain ribbed socks in matching
and coordinating colors.

TOPPING IT OFF ... is best done with a hat, not with a wild thatch
of wind-blown hair. You'll complete the slim, natural look of your
wardrobe with a narrow, snap-brim hat, underscored slightly by a
tapered crown. And you'll find both raw edged brims and welt
edges on the newest headwear. Both gray-brown and olive with
black bands will coordinate with your new gray or olive natural
shoulder suit.

OUTERWEAR, FORMAL WEAR, SKI WEAR... and much more

...are all commg up in the months ahead. Outerwear nest time
See you then.

Student Contract
Systrm at
Rockford College

Rockford, III a.PJ Rockford
College has announced a new
-student contract system which
guarantees the signer that his
tuition will not be increased dur-
ing his four years in college. The
"degree plan" was announced by
President John A. Howard.

"^n this era of rising general
costs." Dr. Howard said, "the
cost of operating a college is in-
creasing especially rapidly. One
major reason, a national short-
age of qualified college pro-
fessors, is bringing about a swift
rise in faculty salaries to a level
commensurate with professional
training.

"To maintain its academic
strength, Rockford College will,
in the years ahead, surely need
to raise its tuition and fees. The
Degree Plan is offered as a serv-
ice to students and parents who
find it increasingly difficult to
budget for four years of college
study," Dr. Howard stated.

Under the new optional plan
beginning this year, a student
or his parent contracts for the
remaining years of tuition at the
current rate. A slightly higher
amount is paid the first year
and lesser amounts each suc-
ceeding year, so that the aver-
age charge is the current tuition
rate. Students who do not choose
the Degree Plan will simply pay
each year those charges fixed
in advance by the Board of
Trustees, as in the past,

A new student this year under
the Degree Plan will pay $1,150
the first year: $1,050 the second
year; $950 the third year: and
$850 the foiu-th year. The total
cost will be $4,000 or an average
of Sl.OOO a year the present
rate.

Qualifications of
A Good Leader

By Roscoe Edwards

A good leader is a person of
an inner conviction and sin-
cerity. He projects security to
others and is secure within. In
moments of any crisis, he can
remain cool and make decisions.

A good leader never thinks of
himself only and never thinks
that he knows it all. He is always
aware of those things that he
knows little about and will con-
sult those around him, who may
help him.

Resouicetulness and depend-
ability are two good character-
istics of a leader. He can give
you good advice and counsel
when you need it most.

Mr. Alfred Duckett. a writer
for the Chicago Defender states;

"I think a leader is a per-
son who can afford to be
generous. He doesn't need
the biggest title of the
largest office of all super-
ficial gestures which people
pay to bosses in order to run
things. If he can get the
example of hard work and
determination, he can in-
spire others to imitate that
example."

Leadership requires know-how,
patience, honesty and depend-
abiUty. These are the qualities
that people look for in a good
leader.

and flowers as a tribute to his
mother on the occasion.

Sponsors of the program were
the young ladies of the first
floor, left wing corridor. The
corridor leader is Miss Betty
Jean Harris.

The success of the program
was due largely to the outstand-

sponsored the program.

Plans are now being made for
the annual Christmas Sister

Let's Build A Monument In Memory of JFK

An Effective Student Council

By Jack Milllnes

The Student Council is an essential part of the total school
program. The Council is a major means by which students, through
actual practice, develop a belief in an Intelligent understanding
and an appreciation of our plan of representative government and
Its processes.

The Student Council helps to create an environment in which
students and factulty can work together cooperatively for the
betterment of the college and the well-being of each student.
Faculty members recognize the worth of the council, understand
Us operation, and cooperate with its program.

The faculty advisors to the Council should have adequate time
to devote to working with the Council. The Advisors are usually
enthusiastic about their assignment and are always trained in
techniques and philosophies of council work.

The election of student-body officers is carried out in a
dignified manner and, generally, all students vote for the officers
of the Council. There should be a planned program of leadership
training for student officers and other prospective student leaders.

The functions which the Council performs arise from real
problems of the college which arc within the ability and scope of
the students to solve. Many of these problems may be solved with
or without consultation with the college administration and faculty.

What kind of projects and activities does the Council under-
take? Uusually. the council programs mirror the type of leaders
that are at the helm or in control of policies. Probably about one-
half of the Council's activities are concerned with providing a social
program for the student body. The other half deals primarily with
policies of the college that may be In conflict with students' In-
terests and aspirations. The Council is not an agency to lead pro-
tests against the Administration but an agency designed to carry
the protests and grievances of the students to the Administration,
and thereby, the Council Is in a position to work with the Adminis-
tration and faculty In solving these problems. In many Instances,
the Council may suggest to the Administration ways and means
to solve these problems.

It is my firm belief that an effective student government
organization on a college campus which has full participation of
the student body Is the best training in good citizenship for all
college trained Americans.

Keep an Eye on the Future

It is quiet true that we are living in the present but we do not
stop with today or stand still. You know that the sun will rise
tomorrow and that you will see It rise. That is, in all probability.

The ;:iin of tomorrow and your rising are future events.

In thi; present you prepare for tomorrow and continue what
you began on yesterday, otherwise you are standing still. No
man can proceed if he must begin over again every tomorrow that
comes to him In his life; he must have done something that can
not be compieled except in the future.

That gives him work to do, something at which he can make
progress. You will be of more value tomorrow than you are today
because you have advanced by experience you liave learned some-
thing, and so you will learn something every day and every to-
morrow will find an improvement in you. Your time will be of
more value, and your services will command a higher price. You
must work things around so that this will happen to you.

To every young man the future holds every thing dear to him.
His hopes are all centered on the future. In it he sees a home, a
family, honor, fame perhaps, wealth possibly, comforts and a
peaceful old ape.

He may bring all these to pass but he must carry them always
in his mind as things to be obtained.

We may not know what the future has in store for us, but
we can shape events, our lives and our doings so that we will know
something of the future. When we say we do not know what the
future will bring forth, we do not mean things of our own creation
because we do know that much. We speak of accidentals, against
these dangers we can provide by taking counsel and making pro-
visions to defect them.

By Elmer Thomas
The man is dead ... He has
been dead for some time . . . this
fact Isn't news any more, it's
history.

Let us hope, however, that the
qualities for which he stood and
manner in which he dedicated
himself to that in which he be-
lieved will forever remain in the
national conscience.

To people in general John
Fitzgerald Kennedy was symbolic
of all those rare qualities that go
together to make up an out-
standing leader. His courage and
character were unquestionable
and most admirable. But in ad-
dition to this, the 35th President
of the United States was a sym-
bol of hope to Negroes every-
where. This was certainly true
of students at Savannah State
College. His efforts on part of
colored people in the civil rights
struggle were far more extensive
than any of his predecessors. His
motives, it seems, were moral
and humanitarian rather than
political.

There are some the pollsters
and political analysts in particu-
larwho claim his position on
the civil rights issue was causing
him much popularity in the
North as well as the South. But
he did not back down on the
issue, like I said, it seems that
his motives on behalf of the
American Negro were moral and
humanitarian rather than po-
litical.

Then, if this is true, it seems
that the establishment of a
monument in his memory on
this campus would be indeed
fitting, perhaps the next build-
ing that is erected here or one
that is already standing would
be named or renamed in his
honor.

Maybe some artistic represen-
tation of what constituted his
physical appearance could be
placed at some suitable place on
campus; or maybe some campus
organization could name them-
selves in lionor of John F, Ken-
nedy. 35th President of the
United States.

But even if nothing of this
kind is ever done; even if a ma-
jority of us here think lightly of
this proposition. It would be well
if each of us built our own
monuments in our hearts in
memory of his greatness, and as
a source of inspiration.

Christmits Giving

By Rev. Lorenzo P, McNeal
The giving of gifts at Christ-
mas has a good biblical back-
ground. '"God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten
Son. that whosoever believeth in
Him shall not perish but have
everlasting life."

Christmas is a time for giving
up. It is a time for self-surrender
to Christ. When you surrender
yourself to Christ you are say-
ing, "I believe on the only be-
gotten Son that I might have
everlasting life," You do not
have to worry about how expen-
sive the gift should be. Just re-
member, "tliey first gave their
own selves."

Christmas is a time for giving
in. God has been good to you in
so many ways throughout this
year and no doubt you have
made God promises that you
have not kept, but God still calls
for you to come to Him. Be
sincere in your surrender, this
will put you into His church, His
fellowship, and His kingdom. He
has ten thousand blessings and
all you have to do is to ask
sincerely and earnestly and it
shall be given.

Christmas is a time for giving
out. Out of loving hearts we give
to the poor. God has blessed us
to be fortunate to have that we
might give according to the way
He has blessed. The best evidence
of Christmas spirit in the heart
lies not in decorations, music,

The Ihiderstandittg and Loving Mother

By Ernest Patrick Lavender. Jr,

I

She is a person who you should love so dear;

Rely on her, she is always near,

Very understanding at all times,

Perpetually giving comforting ease to the mind.

II
Her advice you should without exception heed;
She gives counsel you as a child needs.
She will not purposely tell you wrong;
Her advice you'll miss when she's gone.

Ill

She is not mean when slie scolds;

Tliis you'll realize when you reach your ultimate goal.
She has guided you through difficult tasks,
Willing to give her help even when you did not ask.

IV

She nursed you at her breast as an infant.

Washed your face as a child.

As a teen-ager helped you climb that arduous height.

Through these cycles she has toiled with Sampson's might.

V
Now in college, from her you are away;
Yet she writes to you every other day,
Continually giving advice that you need.
Advice, nevertheless, fit for you to heed.

VI
When out of money here in school,
She'll send you her Social Club dues.
Yes! For you she'll go out of her way
To help you become a man some day,

VII
Graduation! Now you have a wife,
The two of you leading a Successful life.
Remember you owe your success to some one true,
A person who most all the credit is due,

VIII
Forever remember how good she was,
A loving person who helped you through life's trials,
A wonderful person who can be compared to non-other,
Yes! Yes! Your loving and understanding MOTHER.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Questions Award of
First Place to Alphas

Dear Editor:

I personally feel that there is
a great deal of unfairness in
choosing winners of floats and
cars in our liomecoming activi-
ties, I say unfair because I can-
not concieve how the same
organization gets first place for
floats every year and how a car
rate can rate a place when they
don't fit the qualification ac-
cording to the voting slip for the
judges.

I find nothing wrong with
winning first place if the float
or car rates first place, but just
to rate the float as first place
because of prestige on the part
of the organization or prejudice
on the part of the judges is un-
fair to those deserving to win.

There shouldn't be any Greeks
judging and I feel that a better
means of judging would help a
great deal.

Hoiiit'ioniiiij; Parade
Most Colorful Yet

Dear Editor:

Personally, I think that the
SSC homecoming activities were
most enjoyable. The homecom-
ing parade was the most color-
ful parade I have seen here at
Savannah State.

The bands exemplified true
musical talents on the streets
of the city. The floats were
beautifully decorated.

Persons who aided in prepar-
ing for our parade did an ex-
cellent job of planning and
putting together their ideas.

Congratulations to the superb
job done by those people.

Ti-cr's Roar INot Published
Often Enough

Dear Editor:

In my opinion the printing and
issuance of the Tiller's Roar is
far too infrequent- Certainly
there are enough events on
campus to have more than a
monthly edition of the student
newspaper. However, I am not
completely cognizant of the
amount of money allocated for
the printing of the paper. If
there is enough money for more
than a once a month edition, I
feel that steps should be taken
to increase the number of print-
ings,

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

I wish to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the members
of the administration, the faculty, and the student body for the
warm reception and strong support which I, as your sixth president,
have received since taking office at Savannah State College, With
the enthusiastic spirit which is evident among students and faculty
it is certain that Savannah State College will move ahead in taking
its rightful place among the leaders in the educational world. We
pledge to you our every effort, in the years ahead, towards the
development of a program of academic and extra-class excellence
to which all members and friends of the Savannah State College
family can look with pride.

Indeed, we face difficult times in the nation and in the world
but you as students at Savannah State College have the great
opportunity to play a significant part in shaping a better future
for yourselves and for generations yet unborn. Thorough prepara-
tion, hard work, dedication to duty, and responsibility are your
keys for success in the future. I would urge you in your college
years and in later life to do whatever your hands find to do with
all your might. That is the lesson of all experience. Face every
task with a determination to conquer its difficulties and never to
let them conquer you. No task is too small to be done well. For the
man who is worthy, who is fit to perform the deeds of the world,
even the ef^atest, sooner or later the opportunity to do them will
come. He can abide his time, can rest "safe in himself as in a
fate," Tlie future is yours if you but prepare for it.

Association of Women Students
To Be Reactivated on Campus

By Gwendolyn Buchanan
Miss Loreese Davis, Dean of
Women, is trying to reactivate
the Association for Women Stu-
dents on the college campus.
This organization was composed
of only dormitory women mem-
bers. This year it is her inten-
tion to increase the membership
and to get the college women,
especially those residing off
campus, to become active mem-
bers.

Women of this organization
study and evaluate the college
atmosphere in iiope of achieving
mature adjustment. It is through
this organization that they can
express their desires, ideas and
capabilities. They are prepared
to govern themselves through-
out their college careers, and
increase their abilities and
desires to fulfill the role of edu-
cated and competent women in
a democratic society.

The need for this organization
has grown from the need of
women to adjust socially, politi-
cally and academically.

This organization has several
functions. It has a "trail blazer"
function wherein college women
are encouraged and directed in
their pursuit of educational and
vocational opportunities. It pro-
vides solutions to problems con-
cerning women by attracting the
attention of the campus and
public interest in women's wel-
fare. Women can engage in frank
discussions concerning male-
female relationships.

Miss Davis is hoping that she
can get enough women students
interested in this organization
to become a member of the
Intercollegiate Association of

Women Students. This organiza-
tion is a national one that is
composed of women students of
a campus. These women give
either service or opportunities
for women to govern themselves.

The purpose of this organiza-
tion is to foster an exchange of
ideas, information and policies
on subjects of mutual interest to
the women students and to
member schools and to promote
a sense of responsibility and
awareness of obligations of the
college-trained woman to her
community and to her world.

To become members of the
lAWS, the Association of Wom-
en Students at Savannah State
College must have an average of
50 or more members and must
have been active for two years.

The Dean of Women extends

an invitation to all women stu-
dents to attend the next meeting
of the AWS, For information
concerning the date and place
of the meeting, consult Miss
Davis rwatch for a notice on
the bulletin board.

Memories

By Marvin Foster

I've gained much knowledge, and

made many friends;
But now I'm a senior, and my

college days will end.
When I'm gone and far away,
Memories will come from day

to day.
I will recall what they mean to

me.
And think of that old college,
Savannah State by the sea.

By Walter P, Brown

The Savannah State Tigers
opened their basketball slate on
December 3, 1963 against South
Carolina State College at
Orangeburg, South Carolina.

Final score in the South Caro-
line State-Savannah State game
was 105-79.

Coach Albert Frazier said that
tlie team is a young team and is
dominated by Freshman players.
The most promising Freshmen
who should see plenty of action
are George Lane, Oliver Baker
and Charles Williams.

The returning lettermen are
Johnny Mathis, Charles Day and
Joseph Washington. As you
probably remember, Johnny

Mathis was top scorer and re-
bounder from last year.

Charles Day and Joseph Wash-
ington were the only Freshmen
on last year's team. They show
even greater promise this year.

Coach Frazier also said that
in spite of last year's perform-
ance they are ready to improve
their record.

The first home game will be
played against Benedict College
of Columbia, South Carolina on
December 9, 1963 in Wiley
Gymnasium.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

CLUB &
CAMPUS

FASHIONS

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, esquire'S fashion director

If you'll excuse us while we misquote the Po^t Office motto, "Neither
rain nor snow nor cold of day can keep us from our appointed
rounds!" Right now, we're going to tell you about the latest in outer-
wear for the campus, so that rain, snow and cold of day won't have
any effect on your appointed and fashionable rounds!

THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT tdis ihc iactet

Story this fall. Latest lengths range from 34" to
38" the better to keep those wintry blasts at
bay! They're available in a variety of fabrics
warm wool fleeces, practical polycster-and-cot-
ton combinations, or newly-revived corduroys
styled in standard, single-breasted models.
The more traditional waist-length jacket, either
with zip-front or button closure, is still a stand-
by, especially in gabardine weaves. Most of these
models have hoods attached or zip-on-and-off
for added convenience and protection,

YOUR LOVE CAN KEEP YOU WARM -but linings do it bctteri

And there's lots of latitude for you to choose from, both in color
and type of lining. Pile fabrics are very big indeed, ranging from the
natural-fiber, natural-color (tan and brown tones) alpaca pile to
acrylic fiber piles in blazing colors reds, blues and gold shades.
Plaid wool linings arc popular, particularly when they're back-
grounded or accented with brilliant color any color, as long as it's
red! Quilted linings get their quota of votes, too, usually in colors to
contrast with the jacket. .And many of these linings spill over onto
the collar facing for a bright exterior accent.

SWEATERED SUEDES are making news. Confusing? Not at all

these are simply suede jackets with knitted sleeves and back, for
smartness, comfort and flexibility. The knit portions of these campus
cover-ups are often bonded to foam backing extra insurance
against the cold.

f\

BANK ON BULK Bulky knits will add new
dimensions to your sweater wardrobe. The real ^^

smashers this season are rough and ready rib- ^i^s ^-^i^^/A
knits and sw^eaters with a textured tweed look.
Cardigans arc candidates for re-election to top
office, both in button-front shawl-collar models,
and in smart, border-striped styles. Look espe-
cially for the new cardigans zipped and border-
striped up the front and leather-patched on the
sleeves. Pullovers with crew or outsize turtle
necks are knitted of soft, Shetland wools bulk-
ily, of course!

H\

TOPFLIGHT TWEEOS TRANSLATE into topcoats, as well as into

the suits and sport jackets that are making their mark this season.
Look for rugged overcheck and herringbone patterns, styled with
slash pockets and raglan sleeves. If you're in the market for a more
formal topcoat, why not consider an adaptation of the famous
British Warm? Ifs double-breasted, with set-in sleeves, and often
comes with leather button closure. They're usually found in herring-
bone or heather-mixture tweeds with a somewhat smoother finish.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE MAD TO BE HATTED -even on cam-
pus! And you'll be headed in the right direction if you chocse one of
the new rough-textured felts, or a sport hat made of corduroy or
tweed. Colorful tweed caps arc also making a comeback, to add a
jaunty, country-squire look to your casual outfits.

: \ WILD HORSES CAN BE SHOD -and so

should you! Leave your dirty sneakers in the
locker, and try on a pair of sturdy bro-;ucs for
size and for a change. Well-polislicd slip-ons
in a moccasin design make a nice alternative, as
do brushed or grained leather hi-risers and
boots. And when it's time for sloshing around in the slush, remember
that the flapping, wide-open overshoe that v/as a trademark of the
Twenties is now a thing of the past! The current crop :.re handsome,
sturdy boots, zip-fronied for easy access a real niuai for protecting
your leather footgear.

So much for this appointed round. Next month, a Command Per-
formance a run-down on the formal dress that almost reaches
uniform status during the holidays. We'll be there in pbnty of time
for you to get it organized. See you then.

Journalism Pupils
Are Increasiiig

Journalism enrollments at the
college freshman level are up
over last year and more students
are transferring into journalism,
The Newspaper Fund reported.
Deans and directors in 42
schools registered increases in
fall 1963 freshman classes.
Another 14 said enrollments are
about the same as last year and
12 reported declines in the third
annual Newspaper Fund survey.
Because many schools do not
identify journalism majors until
the junior year, it is difficult to
obtain exact figures at the un-
derclass levels.

But a comparison of journal-
ism classes at 67 schools over the
last three years found 2,232
freshmen inl 961. 2.269 in 1962
and 2.408 in 1963.

"There is an increase in the
number of students who start in
general courses and transfer into
journalism by the second or
third year," said Paul S, Swens-
son, executive director of The
Fund.

In the West and Southwest,
Mr. Swensson pointed out. in-
creases In junior college enroll-
ments have reduced the size of
freshman classes at some of the
larger schools of journahsm.
These decreases generally are
offset by increases during the
third year, when students trans-
fer from junior colleges.

Most deans saw an improve-
ment In the quality of journal-
ism students, especially over
classes of five years ago This
was attributed to higher college
entrance standards. But some
directors related it to the avail-
ability of scholarships. They
point out that attractive
scholarships enable journalism
to compete with other schools
and departmentvS for bright, un-
committed students.

Deans who said they had con-
ducted aggressive recruiting pro-
grams were able to report in-
creased enrollments. Thus, a
West Coast school which gave
the "red carpet" treatment to
potential students doubled its
freshman class from 15 to 30
students.

"Journalism enrollments at
the University of Mississippi are
up about 5%," said Samuel S.
Talbert. chairman of the Jour-
nalism Department, "In spite of
the 10";^ drop in overall Univer-
sity enrollment," The Univer-
sity's student newspaper and its
editor last year, Sidna Brower,
gained national attention for its
coverage of campus riots when
James Meredith was enrolled.
Miss Brower was praised by
several professional press groups
for her courageous editorial
stand.

At the University of Nebraska.
where a highly-regarded "depth
reporting" course in newspaper
journalism has been offered for
three years, freshman enroll-
ment is up about 40%, accord-
ing to William E, Hall, director
of the School of Journalism,

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

After each publication of the Tiger's Roar, we receive many
criticisms from students about the paper. Many students feel that
the paper Isn't interesting; it doesn't have enough pages and the
publication Isn't often enough. These criticisms are sometimes
true The Tiger's Ro.nr could be more Interesting. It could cover
more events, .md it's possible that the publication could be twice a
month. These things are possible with the help of the student body,
the faculty and the staff.

Thc' staff that we are now working with is a small one. With
this small staff, more work Is required of each member. They
have to accept the responsibility of gathering the news, typing.
proofreading, laying-out the paper, and other duties that wouldn't
be on them under normal situations. The advantage of a larger
staff is a bigger, better and more frequent publication.

One criticism is that other schools have weeklies and bi-
monthly papers and we only have a once-a-month edition. The
principle governing this is that other schools have much larger
staffs and the cooperation from the student body.

Savannah State College has over 1100 students enrolled here
and out of llils large mass of students, we cannot get fifteen or
more to work on the staff.

Concerning the freriuency of the publication, our budget only
provides lor a once-a-month publication. Therefore, we haven't the
funds lo publish two editions per month, but I said it could be
possible. 11 Is only possible if the students are willing to pay a
few dollars more on their tuition to cover the expenses ol the two
papers each month.

How many are wiliini; to pay extra in order to get another
paper each month, and how many are willing to work with the
staff toward a better newspaper?

When asked to work on the staff, many excuses have been,
"I can't type," "I don't have time," and "I can't write news stories."
These arc poor excuses, because everyone can help in some way.
We are not asking that you join the staff just to get your name in
print, we are asking tliat you ioin to help improve our paper, and
to aid us in getting the paper out on lime.

We arc making an appeal for the help of the different depart-
ments, faculty, and students. We are asking that you help us by
sending us news stories about your departments and organizations.
You should select a reporter that will be responsible tor reporting
on all events and news happenings.

Students may write stones about their friends, trips, experi-
ences, "letters to the editor," poems, and news articles. All news
stories will be printed. In some cases news stories may be edited
but not deviated from the original context. Articles not published
in one edition will be published in the following edition. If you
can't write, perhaps you can proofread, type or assist in the office.

In order for us to have the best newspaper in our area of
competition, we must have your cooperation.

Siiiokiii": A Threat
To Sliuleiits

According to the United States
Public Health Service, smoking
may be a health hazard to the
many students and others in-
dulging in heavy smoking.

After a fourteen months study
of the effect of smoking on the
healtli of smokers, the Health
Agency has advised that smokers
discontinue this habit. This
study showed that cigarette
smoking may cause lung cancer.

This report has some students
on Savannah State College
campus eager to quit the habit,
v/hen they get around to doing
that. It has others not thinking
seriously about the situation.

A large number of Savannah
State College student smokers
wish to quit smoking, but do not
have the will power to give up
the cigarette.

The small number of non-
smokers acclaimed that they will
never take up the habit now

that they know habitual smoking
may be harmful to them.

Student Reactions

"I hate to hear things like
that, but I am in the habit of
smoking and it's hard to stop,"
replied Joe Simmons.

Ralph Steel said. "1 find that
after eating I must have a
smoke, so I will just try to stop
smoking in between."

Bobby Baker said. "I leel that
if I die from smoking. I will die
feeling good."

"Although the health depart-
ment has made many researches
on the issue." answered Joshua
Walker, "I feel that I must die
from something so it might as
well be smoking because tliat is
something that I enjoy,"

Dorothy Scott had this to say,
"If you are going to die from
something, let that something
be what you like doing."

"I feel that smoking isn't
against you," replied Lydia Joyce.
"If you are not a smoker that
smokes two or more packs a day.
therefore I will not try to stop
smoking."

Wlial Y<Hi Can Do
For Your Coiiiilry

By Gwendolyn Buchanan
"Ask not what your country
can do for you, but what you can
do for your country."

John F. Kennedy

Few of us know what we can
do for our country and many of
us feel that there is nothing
that we can do. but we feel that
the country can do much for us.
This is thought without realiza-
tion of the fact that we the peo-
ple make up the country. We are
the country and whatever we do
for our country, we do for our-
selves.

This principle was realized by
Americans who have sought and
are now seeking better inter-
national relationships and world
peace. This kind of relationship
and world peace are being sought
for their country, but when their
country achieves this goal, they
will have achieved it also.

How are Americans working
toward this goal? Americans are
spending years abroad, living in
Africa. Ghana. Latin America,
Asia and other countries, trying
in ways possible to help in-
habitants of these localities de-
velop economically and socially.

When President John F. Ken-
nedy established the Peace Corps
in March, 1961, he was hoping
for world peace and understand-
ing among nations. He was
hoping that Americans would do
for their country by helping
other countries help themselves.

The hope or wish of the late
President Kennedy is reality to-
day. Today Americans are will-
ingly spending years in places
Americans dared not to go many
years ago. Americans are willing
to give up a few years of com-
fortable living, accepting the
challenge.s of elevating these
people to certain physical, eco-
nomic and social standards

With the help of these Ameri-
cans, men, women, and children
of foreign countries are rising
above poverty, hunger and
ignorance. Americans are teach-
ing these people to farm, care
for domesticated animals, cook,
care for their families, sew, read,
write, and many other useful
things that comprise a decent
living.

Americans have introduced to
inliabitants of many countries
infoiTiiation and "know-how"
concerning sanitation, medica-
tion, transportation other than
walking, modern cooking, edu-
cation and communication other
than by mouth. In Sabah. the
only means of communication
was by mouth. The inhabitants
knew nothing about electricity,
magazines, radio, newspapers,
furnishings and other necessary
commodities.

Peace Corps Volunteers are in-
troducing these people to a new
world Of" better living. These
Americans are serving their
country, helping people and
making friends. They are ac-
quiring new skills, acquiring new
experiences that will be bene-
ficial in future careers and will
add to America's supply of
trained personnel and teachers.

ON BECOMING MEN

By Charles Smalls

Fellow male students, have you ever heard or been told that
"charity begins at home"? I am hoping that you have. Frankly,
this is a true statement.

We have become so earless and irresponsible that we are
neglecting things that we should be conscious of. Further, we are
failing to show respect and intelligence with which our parents and
our education have endowed us. We are lax in our efforts to do
things that we know are right; that is. we are failing our alma
mater and we are failing ourselves by engaging in activities that
are not mature. Yet, we feel "too big" to admit our immaturity
or to correct our errors.

It has come to my attention that walls of several men's rest
rooms are carved with ridiculous and obscene pictures, including
the names of instructors. Do you think that this is a good way to
express gratitude to our professors who are constantly devoting
their time toward helping us to become citizens and men of
distinction? My answer is a resounding no! Not only have I
noticed that we have neglected our duty as college students to
perpetuate that which is good and alleviate that which is bad. but
I have also noticed that we are not abiding by gentlemanly ideals.
We are also using profanity which is definitely not a characteristic
of gentlemen.

A few days ago. I was shocked concerning the behavior of
fraternity members. Let me impress upon you that I do not dislike
fraternities. I admire a fraternity that stands for the improvement
of society and the perfection of mankind. On the other hand, I
condemn a fraternity that possesses unmanly and barbaric be-
haviorial patterns. Certainly, the recent clash between two well-
known fraternities in front of the college center does not reflect
the behavior of adult men. and it was definitely not a quality of
leadership. In my opinion, it was a stupendous act committed by
little boys possessing no characteristics of leadership.

Returning to my first thesis, let us try to improve! By im-
proving, we can then submit evidence that we are not only con-
cerned about our parents, and instructors, and our college, but it
would indicate that we are concerned about exemplifying perfection
and intelligence.

Let us take into consideration that Savannah State College is
our college. I call upon you to let us work as real men. Let us
begin now to uphold the high standards which we have set for
ourselves and for our college, Robert Browning said: "A man's
reach should exceed his grasp. . . ." Think of the accomplishments
we can achieve if all SSC men would strive for goals and aspirations
which are beneficial for our personal success and for the growth
and development of our school.

Obtaining the friendship of
these people means a better re-
lationship between them and
America. The continuance of the
Peace Corps movement may
eventually bring world peace.

The New Year'^s
Joiiruey; What
To Take Along

By Rev. Lorenzo P. McNeal

The year of 1963 has passed
and gone and now we live in
the new year of 1964. During the
year of 1964 we shall perhaps
encounter many hardships,
many trials and tribulations,
many disappointments, and
above all we shall have new
deals, new outlooks, and better
people.

The new year's adventure calls
for a guide and we as good
Christians know that the Lord's
presence Is promised and we are
to follow the ark of God.

In the new year first of all we
will need faith. Faith in God,
faith in Him who said. "Lo, I
am with you always," We should
also have faith in the ultimate
victory: this is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our
faith.

Next we should take along
hope. Hope is the anchor that
will enable us to ride out the
storms of life. When everything
seems to go wrong, when you
are being called everything but
a child of God, when your
friends turn to be your enemies
and mount up on every &\&e, you
can always have hope Hope for
a better day and what tomorrow
will bring.

In tills new year also we
should take along love. For love
is sunshine and will dispel gloom.
Love is just another name for
God. "God is Love," '"For God
so loved the world, that He gave
His only begotten Son, that who-
soever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting
life" iSt, John 3:16). God does
not give His strength only to the
strong, or His wisdom only to
the wise, or His joy only to the
joyful, or His blessings only to
the blest, God does not help you
because of what you are, God
helps you because of what He is,
God is Love. We shall need God,
and the love of God, each step
of the way.

If we should take these things
with us, faith, hope, and love,
then with absolute assurance
the Christian can face the new

Where Are Your Manners?

Your Classroom Manners. What ever your personal feelings,
treat all your instructors with respect and courtesy. Even better,
try to get to know them. You'll find that they are human, too
interested in your problems and accomplishments and willing to
help you-

In the classroom, give the teacher your full attention. Really
concentrate instead of gazing out of the window, Wheii It comes
to lab and homework assignments, don't let a friend do three-
quarters of the work. Do your own work and accept the responsi-
bility for It.

Here are undesirable habits. Check yourself to see how you rate.

Yes No

1, Do you make social plans In class?

2, Do you pay more attention to other

students than to the teacher?

3, Are you often late for class?

4, Do you comb your hair or apply lipstick

in class?

5, Do you show off at the blackboard?

6, Do you think you know all the answers
and constantly wave your hand In the

teachers face?

7, Do you use the class time to catch up on

personal correspondence?

8, Do you copy others' notes because you

weren't listening?

9, Do you sprawl all over the aisle?.

10. Are you always making wise cracks?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, your classroom

manners need some polishing.

The Lunchroom. You may feel starved at lunch time, but don't
stampede into the lunchroom. Line up quietly without pushing.
Sometimes boys tend to flock to one end of the lunchroom and
girls to the other. This Is Kid stuff. Being sociable at lunchtime
is a friendly, easy way to get to know the opposite sex better.
Incidentally, that new student may be someone you'd like to know.

Assembly Hall Tips. The assembly hall requires the same good
manners you would display in a public lecture hall. File in quietly
and be seated at once. No whispering, talking, notepassing, horse-
play, or heckling. Sometimes a well-known person, perhaps a
musician or scientist Is kind enough to give his time to speak or
perform in your assembly. He will leave thinking either "What a
rude student body!" or "What an adult receptive audience!"
depending on your behavior.

year and say. "We know that all
things work together for good to
them that love God" (Romans
8:281. And "Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil, for
Thou are with me. Thy rod and
Thy staff they comfort me."

"And now abideth faith, hope,
charity, these three: but the
greatest of these is charity"

A PILGRIMAGE

By Ernest Patrick Lavender, Jr.

On Saturday morning. Decem-
ber 28, Jack Emmitt Milllnes.
President of the Student Coun-
cil, Bobby L, Hill, a recent
graduate and a law student at
Howard University, and I
journeyed to Arlington Ceme-
tery, for the purpose of viewing
President Kennedy's resting
place.

After reaching Arlington, we
discovered that in spite of the
fact that this was the coldest
day of the year, thousands of
people were standing in line, in
order to pay their respect to
their fallen leader.

As a Negro, I was aware of
the fact that Negroes loved
President Kennedy, because of
his heroic stand on civil rights.
Nevertheless, I did not have the
slightest idea that so many other
people revered this great man.

A testimony of the extent to
which Americans loved this
man can be seen in the fact
that snow was twelve inches
deep and the trees of Arlington
were laden with Ice. In spite of
the cold and bleak day, there
were cars from New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, California,
Florida, Kansas, Arkansas, Colo-
rado, Washington, Connecticut
and several cars from our neigh-
boring country. Canada.

It is very difficult to convey
my feelings after I had viewed
the grave, for I was visibly
moved by this experience.

I would like to urge all of my
colleagues to visit this great
man's resting place, for it is
very inspirational.

By Jack E. Millines. President

As president of the Student
Council, it is my responsibility
to keep you informed of the
activities of the council. It is
my belief that an informed stu-
dent body makes an intelligent
student body.

Leander Merritt, vice president
of the council, reported on a
recent meeting with Dr. Howard
Jordan. President Jordan in-
formed the council that a special
assembly will be held for the
purpose of informing the student
body about new policies and the
increased activity fee which is
necessary in order to improve
the athletic program,

An itemized account of the
expenditures made from this fee
was given by Leander Merritt.

Some of the problems that
have been discussed with Presi-
dent Jordan, and others that
will be discussed are: broken
windows in the boy's dormitory,
overcrowded dormitories, names
for buildings, lengthening of
college center hours, lengthening
of movie hours for the ladies of
SSC (an extra hour off campus,

Contril)utes to
Study Forum

Negro Lilirarian*
Express Views

Mr. E, J. Josey, Librarian at
Savannah State College and
trustee for the local public
library, was among eleven
American librarians contributing
to a symposium of opinion on
Access to Public Libraries. This
was a report of a research
project prepared for the Library
Administration Division of the
American Library Association by
International Research Associ-
ates. Inc., and published by ALA
in August of this year, in its
December 15 issue.

Mr Josey was one of the three
Negro librarians contributing.
The other two were A, P. Mar-
shall. Librlan of Lincoln Uni-
versity. Maryland, Missouri and
Dr. Virginia Lacy Jones. Dean
of the School of Library Service.
Atlanta University.

The other librarians were
Ralph Ulveling, Director of the
Detroit Public Library, and a
past president of ALA; Ralph
Shaw, past president of ALA and
professor at Rutgers University;
William R, Holman, Director of
the Public Library of San Fran-
cisco; and Robert Ake, Assistant
Director of the Enoch Pratt Free
Library.

The Library Journal provides
this published forum because of
the criticism that Acess study
has caused in the profession,
both North and South. Northern
Librarians rejected the Access
Study's revealing the indirect
discriminatory practices that
Negroes suffered in the use of
libraries, e.g., madequate book
collections in Negro neighbor-
hoods and in the North.

The study also pointed up the
continuing library segregation
practices in many areas in the
South.

The Lincoln University Li-
brarian, A. P. Marshall, stated,
"It is good to have these find-
ings wrapped up in one volume.
It may encourage librarians and
boards to take steps toward inte-
gration from which they have
previously hesitated. It will also
show that not all librarians
(and boards! are as spineless
as they are sometimes pictured,
since many of them have already
taken such steps,"

Dr. Virginia Lacy Jones. Dean
of the Library School of Atlanta
University, in addition to her
critical review of the study,
pointed out that the ALA was
in the forefront in the fight for
equality of tlie Negro in America
for she stated. "The ALA was
among the first of the pro-
fessional associations to take a
stand against some forms of
racial injustice. The Association
has shown courage in investigat-
ing the practices of discrimina-
tion in public libraries through

greatly to be desired that the
Association will continue this
type of research to reveal the
inequities within the profession
which prevent the realization of
the American dream and which
injure and alienate large seg-
ments of the public,"

E, J- Josey. Librarian of Sa-
vannah State College, deplored
the fact that the researchers
concluded that Negroes give a
low priority to library inte-
gration and he stated. "I wisli
to quarrel with the thesis that
Negroes have given a low priority
to library integration. This issue
is not one of scholastic accuracy,
but something more basic: What
comes first, learning to read or
using the library? Hence, in most
southern communities. Negroes
have brought suits to integrate
the schools before they turned
to the public libraries. The
library is by no means the low
man on the totem pole. The
Negro citizen is now demanding
access to all publicly supported
institutions, which include li-
braries."

Plans Busy Year

By Louis Frank Tompkins

Music is found in almost every
environment and in almost every
situation that we experience.

This group, which consists of
45 male students, feels it
pertinent to the dignity of uni-
versal man to enjoy at fullest
potential, the wonderful world
of music. This group is directed
by Mr, James Thompson, Jr, Mr,
Thompson is regarded through-
out the Eastern section of the
nation for his unique talent of
molding interpreters, as well as
singers, out of male voices.

The Glee Club presents to the
Savannah community an Annual
Concert of high rating from a
repertoire, which includes selec-
tions from the Baroque period
to the Contemporary, Inter-
spersed between the classical
writers, the group introduces a
variety of folk songs, which dis-
play expressively the versatility
that the performers evidently
po.'^sess.

Each year a special tour is ar-
ranged in hopes of sharing with
others in regions far removed
from Savannah, the inspiring
music from which they receive
so much inspiration in produc-
ing. Officers for the group are

preciation for the work of
prominent scientists. This should
also serve as a means of stimu-
lation and enthusiasm; (4) to
help fill out a void in the teach-
ers' backgrounds, in subject
matter, so that they may begin
an advanced degree program, at
some graduate school without
having so many undergraduate

CAMPUS
FASHIONS

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, esquires Fashion Director

By now you're back at the salt mines after the holidays and quite
likely in the mid-season doldrums! Your wardrobe's prob;ibly in the
doldrums, too standing in the need of replenishment. Here are
some suggestions for putting a little new life and color into that closet!

BREATHES THERE A MAN-with

soul so dead he really thinks he's got
enough sweaters? Well, if you're among the
sweatcrcd souls who arc very much alive
to the need, you might consider a camel
hair (or camel color) cardigan guaran-
teed to go-with-cverything! Or you might
like to turn turtle, in one of the new flat-
knit fjcrscy-textured) sweaters with the
popular oversize turtle neck. Or perhaps
you'd prefer a bulky ski-type pullover pat-
terned with Norwegian designs great
even if you never get nearer the slopes than
the Student Union! Any one of these would
give you a lift!

THE VEST'S THE BEST way to revitalize a suit or sport-
jacket-and-slacks you've grown tired of. Color is your cue here, with
a wide range of bright flannel vests that will blend or contrast vivid
reds, brilliant yellow or gold, rich mossy green and stop me if
you've heard this! the ever-present camel! A colorful Tattersall
check vest is an even more versatile addition to the weary wardrobe,
as it combines well with a variety of colors and fabrics for a smart,
sporting look.

MUFFLED UP TO THE EYES is a good way to be this sea-
son if it's one of those 5-foot knitted mufflers! New they're not
we cribbed them from the inmates of English colleges and "public
schools," where they've been worn since the days of Dickens. Ribbed
or flat-knit in soft Shetland wool, these mufflers are often wide-
striped usually in school colors though they're available in solids
as well. Worn without a topcoat weather permitting is the British
way. with the long end thrown carelessly over the left shoulder. For
more conservative occasions, think about a soft cashmere muffler in
muted tones, or an authentic tartan to go with your topcoat.

YOU'LL GET A BELT maybe two out of the latest! Because
the latest is the reversible fabric belt, solid-color twill on one side,
striped on the other. Or you can add color to your mid-section with
a bright tartan belt, leather-backed to wear well. And bold, blazer
stripes will be running rings around your waist, too, in combinations
Hke scarlet and white on an olive twill background.

WILD AND WOOLY is the Word on winter shirts! They may
be either all-wool or a practical blend of polyester fibers and wool
for the warmth you may need during the wintry weeks ahead. They're
styled exactly like your dress shirts complete to the button-down
collar bit. Look for them in wild, punchy colors and tartans ( authen-
tic or otherwise ) and jazz up those bleak, January days!

AND SO TO BED or to bull session. Whatever your after-
hours activities, you've probably already discovered that those drafty
dormitory corridors can be quite a shock when you're unprepared!
But you can beat the draft if you've got a warm flannel robe. Stand-
ard, conservative styling is best perhaps with contrasting piping
in practical, dark shades or bright tartan plaids. Barefoot in the halls
cold and uncarpeted as they are will lead only to amputation!
Slippers are a better idea, preferably plain, moccasin-style slip-ons.
And if you're really in the northern latitudes, consider slippers lined
with shearling to fight the frostbite!

Next month we'll keep you in style for active sports North and
South, from ski to shining sea and intermediate stops. See you then!

Blood Donor
Program Is ViUiI

By Frances Southerland

On January 10. 1964, five Sa-
vannah State students appeared
in the college regular assembly
in an effort to emphasize the im-
portance of being a donor,

Oree Rawl. who lias twice
given blood, answered the caH
the last time to give blood to
fill completely empty shelves.
He pointed out that the giving
of blood is painless and that
blood is taken only when the
donor is able as determined by
adequate examination prior to
the giving of blood.

Elizabeth Tucker told of her
experience of being a recipient
of botod, expressing her thank-
fulness that blood was available
at the time she needed It and
saying that any number of the
student body might at any time
and for a number of reasons
need blood.

James Brown gave a summary
of the program and appealed to
all able bodies adults and
responsible students to join the
line of blood donors at the blood-
mobile which will be on our
campus February 26. 1964,

Dr. McDew re-emphasized
what the student panel had
already said.

The members of the Health
Committee take this opportunity
to make a second appeal to you.
Please support a worthy call on
February 26, 1964 ; be one in
the line of donors at the Red
Cross Bloodmobile,

This project is being sponsored
in conjunction with the Savan-
nah State Health Committee, It
has four hundred pints of blood
as its goal. This blood will be
available for you. your family
or your friends. It can make the
difference between life and
death.

grant from the Field Foundation
for the Library Lecture Series.
In a letter to E. J. Josey,
Librarian, Maxwell Hahn,
Executive Vice President of the
Field Foundation stated that,
'The directors hope that such a
lecture series will enable Savan-
nah State College to have out-
standing persons statesmen,
scientists, scholars, writers.
artists come to your campus
where they will be able to speak
to students and faculty of Sa-
vannah State and to towns-
people. . . . The directors feel
that such a series could be a
stimulus to students to think
and read widely; the lectures
should encourage discussion be-
yond the lecture hall."

America's distinguished educa-
tors and the President of More-
house College, will open the
Lecture Series on Wednesday,

ECHOES

Lavender Heads
Regislralion Drive

Earnest Patrick Lavender, a
junior and Physical Education
major, was chosen by the col-
lege chapter of the N.AA.C.P. to
head its voter registration drive.
Lavender succeds James Brown,
who was forced to relinquish this
post because he is currently en-
gaged in student teaching.

The SSC college chapter of
the NAACP has undertaken
voter registration as its major
campus project for the year.

Mary Mo.ss. president of the
chapter, stated that 1964 is a
crucial year for Negro citizens,
and therefore, it is imperative
that a large number of Negro
citizens register and vote in the
forthcoming presidential elec-
tion for a president and a Con-
gress that will aid the Negro in
his quest for first class citizen-
ship.

When Lavender was ap-
proached regarding his plans for
the registration drive, this
youthful campus leader stated
that students will be Invited to
join the registration crusade. We
hope to canvas the entire col-
lege community so that we can
encourage every member of the
college community to register
and vote.

Formal plans will be an-
nounced within a few days. Stu-
dents who desire to volunteer
are asked to contact Mr.
Lavender.

One of the most colorful
events of the college year is the
Open-Probation Activities of the
Greek letter organizations. Sa-
vannah State College is one of
the few Institutions with two
pledge periods a year. The
various groups present their
talents. This adds to the color
of the pledgeslilp period. To be-
come a member of any Greek
letter organization is quite an
ordeal. Any number of times the
pledges need words of en-
couragement to be able to en-
counter the hardships. During
the past pledge period there were
proud men and women who
crossed the burning sands into
Greekdom.

To them I say "Congratula-
tions".

sitions were followed by a com-
bined choral and organ number
by Healey William Frederic

VOTING A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE

Voting Is a privilege that has been granted to the American
citizen by the Constitution of the United States, This privilege.
although granted to all citizens, has been denied to some and
unexercised by others with no restriction placed on them.

There is no excuse for the registered minority of student
voters on the Savannah State College campus. The great number
of persons not registered Is not only accountable for on our campus
but throughout the states of the country.

An elderly woman In the city of Savannah said that her reason
for not reglsterinR to vote was that she was afraid that her old
age pen-slon would be cut off. She actually believed that her
monthly checks would be stopped If she registered.

This, perhaps, was instilled in her mind by someone who really
knew no better, or by someone who didn't want her to vote.

Being in an atmosphere such as the one on Savannah State
College campus, an unregistered student would not have a justi-
fiable excuse. The registration drive of the college chapter of
the N.A.A.C-P. and the youth registration drive set up by the
yWCA. take care of the excuses. The actions of the groups should
have great Influence on the students.

The freedom to vote Is one that you can exercise. Any free-
dom may grow, if exercised, and may expire. If it's neglected. The
freedom lo vote should be recognized by everyone as the most
precious of all citizen privileges and as the one important means
to obtain the flrstclass citizenship that Negroes liave long fought
for.

'Out of My Way'

Student's Potential
Iiiflueiu'e*! By
Roonuuate

East Lansing. Mich, (LP,)
A study by Donald Adams, di-
rector of residence hall student
services at Michigan Slate Uni-
versity, provid s new supporting
evidence for the theory that
roommates significantly in-
fluence a student's academic
performance iii college.

In a pilot survey of 51 men
who roomed in Rather Hall as
first-term freshmen in 1960,
Adams found that all of them
considered roomates a vital in-
fluence In setting the academic
atmosphere of the room. The
study dealt with students in the
top and bottom 20 per cent of
potential scholastic ability ac-
cording to tests taken when they
entered MSU,

Adams found that about 75
per cent of the students had
made room changes since they
entered college. He also found
that an average of 75 per cent
of studying by all groups was
done in dormitory rooms. A
definite trend was noted in the
study for a man leaving a three-
person rooni to have radically
different grade-point average
from that of his other two room-
mates.

Study and social habits were
almost exclusively the rerisons
for students leaving the rooms.
Common card partners, students
with similar athletic, social, or
religious interests, fraternity
pledges, and students with poor
study habits in common tended
to want to room together,

"Low ability students in
particular seemed to be tre-
mendously influenced by their
roommates." Adams said, "Those
with high achievement almost
invariably picked a roommate
who would be a positive in-
fluence on their academic per-

formance. Those with low
acliievement generally had a
roommate like themselves."

According to tests taken when
they entered HSU. students in
the top 20 per cent with at least
a 2,5 all-University average were
considered "high ability, high
achievers." Tliose below a 2.5
were termed "high ability, low
achievers." Students in the
bottom 20 per cent of potential
ability were considered "low
ability, high achievers" if they
had over a 2 point average.
Those with less than a 2 point
were classified as "low ability.
low achievers."

The study cited numerous
cases of students with high
grade point averages who asked
a third roommate with a low
grade average to move out of
the room, and of students who
disliked studying tending to
room together.

Nearly 50 per cent of the stu-
dents agreed that residence hall
living helps students learn how
to study.

Letters to Editor

Dear Editor,

Since I have transferred from
Bethune Cookman College in
Daytona Beach. Florida, I have
found Savannah State College's
campus a great contrast from
the one I left.

The students on this campus
are less friendly. It could be. I
suppose, because there are more
students enrolled here and/or
they are so busy studying that
they do not have time for con-
versations.

The teachers seem to be very
friendly and exemplify interest
in the students' work and social
activities.

SSC social activities are few.
I think there should be more ac-
tivities for the student body. I
realize that there are fraternities
and sororities, but we cannot all

By Charles Smalls

In spite of the untimely death
of the near-perfect John F. Ken-
nedy, the year 1963 will stand
out in history as one of the most
memorablbe years for equality
and peace in our nation One in-
dividual out of many, who stands
out as a powerful figure in
having helped promote equality
and peace Is the dynamic, the
prolific and the unique Martin
L. King, Jr,

The Negro's climb to equality
and human rights has been a
task of labor, dismay and in
some cases partial defeat, Never-
theless, the struggle for his main
objectives never ceased in the
past year, Frederick Douglas,
noted Negro abolitionist, in 1857
said, "If there is no struggle,
there is no progress. . , ."

Since Negroes all over America
last summer marched, demon-
strated and picketted for human
rights under the direction of f-Ir.
King and other well-known
Negro leaders, their struggle
aided in the passing of the Civil
Rights Bill by the U, S, House of
Representatives. The remaining
hurdle is the formidable U. S
Senate.

Negroes and their white allies
long for the day of real brother-
hood and peace which will
symbolize eternal happiness for
mankind in general and Ameri-
can citizens, in particular.

The non-violent tactics that
Mr King pleaded for in the long
struggle for civil rights has now
won him recognition as a
renowned proxy of peace, and
because of his heroic fight, he
has been nominated for the
Nobel Prize,

It is certainly a wise choice by
the people who nominated Mr.
King.

No other American has
exemplified more energy, more
bravery and more zeal for
equality, brotherhood and peace
in the year 1963 than the saintly
Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr.

OUTSIDE SHOW IS
A POOR SUBSTITUTE

FOR INNER WORTH

By Elmer Thomas

In spite of the fact that we are sending American dollars over-
seas by the shiploads, practically, the image of the United State3
as the champion of democracy and the vestige of freedom and
opportunity is becoming more faded in the eyes of uncommitted
people with each rise and setting of the sun.

Relatively speaking, the "free world" is shrinking at an ever
increasing rate as more and more nations of the earth are aligning
themselves with the Communist block while others are declaring
themselves neutral in the ideological struggle between East and
West.

There are many extremely complicated factorseconomic, his-
torical and political which are probably responsible for our lack
of success in the battle to win friends and influence people, but
pictures of the Birmingham bombings, riots at Ole Miss, reports
in the foreign press on how Red-necked Southern senators plan
to weaken the Civil Rights bill have been very much to the benefit
of Soviet Propagandists.

Whites seem to forget that colored people outnumber them
by a wide margin, and these yellow, tan and black people are very
sympathetic toward the American Negro and his battle for equal
rights. Herman might not want to admit it. but thesci people may
decide whether or not his grandchildren will grow up under
socialism, as Khrushchev lias predicted.

It is interesting to note how Herman responded to a petition
from Savannah State students urging him to refrain from fili-
bustering when the Civil Rights bill comes up for debate.

The good Georgia Senator said in a letter addressd to James
P. Sapp that he favors the enjoyment of civil rights for all Ameri-
cans, but he cannot support legislation which is "coercive in its
scope, violating the Constitution and which would create a police
state in various areas of human relations."

Just how is this bill so unconstitutional and coercive? What
sort of logic is employed by the Dixie Boys when they conclude
that the "so called Civil Rights bill." as they refer to it, will destroy
property rights and, according to Senator Talmadge, to regulate
American citizens?

Should American Citizens Be Regulated?
How Far Do Property Rights Reach?

If Herman's contention that owners of businesses open for
public trade should have the right to choo.se their clientele has
any value to it, can we assume by his method of reasoning that it
should be the right of the businessman to serve what he wants in
any manner he'd like? If this be so, then minimum wage laws,
labor legislation, health codes federal, state and local and any
other such legislation, are basically in opposition to the property-
rights principle which the anti-Negro element uses to justify its
position,

Herman is or should be familiar with the classic example con-
cerning the Hmitations of individual freedom. A person may have
freedom of speech, but this does not give him the right to shout
"fire" in a theater when actually there is no fire. It is easy to see
how such a prank could lead to serious injury or even death as
people gathered in such a place would naturally panic and race
toward the exits.

It may be true that a person should have control of his
property, but this does not mean that the owner of a tenement
house in a slum section should be able to halt an urban renewal
program just because he so chooses. It seems then, that no busi-
nessman has the right to discriminate against customers because
of race, and thereby contribute to the cause of racial misunder-
standing and intolerance. The total effect of discrimination is not
just an American problem, but one of such a nature that fate of
the whole world may hinge on whether it is properly dealt with.

The issue is being camouflaged. Southern leaders land others
as well! are deliberately misleading the people. It is not a matter
of the Federal Government assuming excessive regulatory powers,
but a mater of the U, S- Government having the means at its
command to see to it that some 20 million of its citizens are not de-
liberately harassed and humiliated on account of their race,

Herman said that he favors the enjoyment of civil rights by all
Americans. How this statement is to be interpreted may depend
upon just what he means when he says "civil rights." If he means
that he favors the elimination of discrimination in every phase
of housing, education, employment, public accommodations, and
voting, then he is actually in favor of what the bill is designed
to accomplish, otherwise he is against the enjoyment of freedom
and equal opportunity for all men,

Dr, Wolfe Stresses Freedom of Press

By Cynthia Love

The Honorable Dr. Deborah
Wolfe. Chief Education Officer
of the Congressional Education
and Labor Committee of the
House of Representatives, Wash-
ington. D. C, held the partici-
pants of the press conference
spellbound as she passed to
them some of her experiences
and knowledge as an educator
and civic leader.

Dr. Wolfe made her first ap-
pearance at a public meeting
which was held in Meldrim
Auditorium, February 13, 1964.
She spoke on the theme of the
press institute, "The Press
Guardian of Responsibility,
Freedom and Truth," She
pointed out many factors which
make for a better press. The
freedom of the press and the
necessity for all Americans to
take advantage of the oppor-
tunity which they have to ex-
press themselves openly and to
give their opinions on different
sections of the press which might
need public criticism was urged
by Dr. Wolfe.

Having extensive experience
in the area of journalism, she
gave to the future journalists
points on being a good journalist.

The central idea of her speech
was to stress the need for truth
and freedom of the press be-
cause people depend upon the
pres sto keep them informed.

Being an educator, Dr. Wolfe
gave some pointers on how a
student can adjust sufficiently
to college life.

She said that adjustment be-
gins before coming to college. A
student should plan for his col-
lege career while in high school
and visit college campuses and
receive information about the
colleges before choosing one to
attend.

While in school, the student
should become acquainted with
the campus and the teachers.
They should make themselves
known to the teachers and try
to understand them and their
method of teaching-
She suggested that the col-
lege student should go beyond
the point of assigned study.
Study hard, because this is the
best way to succeed in college

Dr. Wolfe stated that no per-
son is a good student and can
make good adjustment unless he
takes part in the life of the col-
lege campus, participates in
some of the activities, and does
his best in the one in which he
takes part.

"Most of all. a student must
assume responsibilities," asserted
Dr. Woife. "This is the most im-
portant step in adjusting suffici-
ently to college life."

Un Voyage A' New York

By Gwendolyn Buchanan

It was Thursday, January 31.
when I arrived In Manhattan,
New York to attend the Sixth
International Affairs Conference
for College Editors. After a lone
but enjoyable trip. I rushed Into
the bus terminal to pick up my
luggage.

After finding my way to the
baggage room, I was disap-
pointed to know that my luggage
was placed on another bus for
New York and would be arrlvinp
later,

Sensing that I was disap-
pointed, the gentleman checking
the luggage gave me a number,
that I might later call when It
comes, and showed me how to
find my way out of the large,
noisy, and crowded place.

Upon finding the exit. I was
surprised and excited to find it
snowing. The evening was barely
darkening; bright and colorful
lights were flickering; and peo-
ple were walking swiftly up and
down the crowded walks in
heavy coats and boots, each In
a world of his own.

I pulled my coat collar close
around my neck and waited for
a taxi, I suppose it was the ex-
citement that made me forget
the name of the hotel that I
would stay in. when the taxi
driver asked ni'; where I was
going. Fortunately, I had a letter
in my pocketbook with the name
and address of the hotel. I
showed It to him and within ten
minutes he pulled up in front
of the Sharaton Atlantic Hotel.

I paid the driver, got out of
the taxi and looked around and
up and down the streets before
entering the hotel, that's when I
saw the Empire State Building,
only two buildings from the
hotel,

I walked into the hotel, went
over to the desk cierk. and gave
my name and the conference
that I was attending. He told me
my room number and had a bell-
boy take me to the room which
was on the ninth floor. It was
here that I met my two white
roommates for the stay there,

Friday, February 1, after
having breakfast, my roommates
and I walked six blocks to the
Overseas Pre^s Club to register.
There, I was given my assign-
ments for the conference and
met some of the 200 delegates
that were present. It was here
that I realized that I was one
of approximately ten Negroes
present, and one of the four
editors present from Georgia.
The other three were: Miss Cary
Howard and Michael Jones
from Georgia State. The
SIGNAL, and George Perdue,
Morehouse College. The
MAROON TIGER, Atlanta. Geor-
gia.

The first session of the con-
ference was opened with ad-
dresses by Senator Keating.
Cornelius Ryan, author of "The
Longest Day." and James A
Wechsler, editor, New York Post,

The second day of the con-
ference was spent in seminars,
discussing the conditions of for-
eign countries. The seminar that
I sat in on, was one on the Latin
American Nations. John Cates,
Latin American Advisor to the
U. S. Mission to the United
States; Arthur Bonner of Colum-
bia Broadcasting System; Rojas-
Velas of the United Press Inter-
national; and Ben Graver, Com-
mentator, the National Broad-
casting Company, discussed the
"Alliance for Progress as Quali-
fied Success Despite Failure,"
for the Latin American Nations.

Late that evening at a banquet
in the main dining room of the
Overseas Press Club, I listened

to an address by Bob Considine.
award-winning columnist and
foreign correspondent for the
Hearst Headline Service. He had
recently covered Pope Paul's trip
to the Holy Land, and spoke
about his coverage.

Saturday, after more seminars
and addresses. I had an oppor-
tunity to walk and see part of
the city, I saw a model of the
World's Fair in Macy'.s depart-
ment store and walked to the
Empire State Building which was
only two buildings from the
hotel where I was staying.

The stay in New York ended
Sunday morning; when we
loaded buses for Washington,
D, C. Arriving at the Shoram
Hotel in Washington. I regis-
tered, and attended Campus
Clinics where the College News-
paper was discussed.

After dinner at 8:00 p,m. I
went on a tour of the city. I
went to the Capitol, the White
House. Lincoln and Jefferson
Memorials, Howard University,
and saw a beautiful scenery
near the river called Haines
Point.

Sunday morning after having
breakfast in the restaurant of
tlie hotel I got on a bus for the
State Department Building. This
time I was one of five Negroes
with the group.

At the State Department
Building in the main auditorium,
we listened to speeches by the
Secretary of State Dean Rusk,
former governor of Michigan,

Student Opinions

By Walker Durham

Students at Savannah State
College are concerned about the
progress of the Civil Rights Bill,
which has passed the House of
Representatives and is now
lingering in the Senate. This
article deals with opinions ex-
pressed by SSC's students on the
effects of the passage of the bill.

Gloria Howard "The passage
of the Civil Rights Bill will be a
big step forward for the ad-
vancement of colored people. It
will eliminate some of the major
problems that the Negroes are
having in trying to make
progress economically, educa-
tionally, and socially."

Theresa Smart "If it were
passed, it would eliminate some
of the old problems of the Negro
and introduce some new ones.
lliis would place a challenge
before the "New Negro,' The
question is would he accept the
challenge?"

Charles Wright "The passage
of the bill would be great, but
the public must keep in mind
tliat the passing of the bill does
not necessarily change the minds
and hearts of the white Ameri-
cans toward the black Ameri-
cans or vice versa,"

Albert Lewis "In my opinion,
it would be the invited step made
by the central government to-
ward giving each of its citizens
a chance at being a first class
citizens."

Betty J. Cohen "The passing
of the Civil Rights Bill would
beget rebirth to the American
people, regardless of race, creed,
or rehgion. Human dignity is a
goal for which we are all aiming
This bill would make the goal
complete and perfect,"

Barbara White "The passage
of the bill would be the greatest
accomplishment in the field of
civil rights. It would be a Key
which would open the doors to
better race relations,"

Up the Road

By Hershel J. Robinson, Jr.

Sometimes the road is rough on
me.
My anger I can't control,
My distressing burdens rays

Within my hungry soul.
Warm tears stream from my
eyes.
As my heart thumbs loud
And very strong.
The way seems misty and down-
hill.
As the hours are painful
I'll keep striving for freedom
From this changing strain.
Up the road where paradise
grows
Separated from the worldly
pain.

Do \oii Believe
In Signs?

There are many different
signs of many different shapes
and sizes posted around Savan-
nah State College campus. Each
of the signs has a very special
meaning.

Students are aware of the
signs but are evidently non-
believers in them. It must be
their disbelief in signs, for surely
a college student can read.

The signs should be just as
effective as the signs posted in
the city, which you are always
cautious of.

One sign that almost never
gets any response is the one
that says "KEEP OFF GRASS. '
These occur more frequent than
any other sign on the campus.

Another sign that you may
find posted even inside our
buildings is the one that reminds
us to keep SSC clean. These are
signs that shouldn't be necessary
on a college campus.

Our campus, "where grassy
plains and palms abound," is a
very beautiful place. It is even
more beautiful when spring ar-
rives and the grass sprouts out
of the ground. This could not
happen, however, if there is no
grass to sprout.

Obey the signs around our
campus. Let the grass grow and
keep SSC clean.

CAMPUS SPOTLIGHT

Lover^s Gratitude

By Hershel J. Robinson, Jr.

Yes. dear you were fooling me
but not my heart,
You've dated other boys when
we were apart.
Darling! I don't know why you
tried to tease me,
But I knew all along just
friends were we.
Once I thought your heart be-
longed to me
But then I saw just friends
were we.
For you could never have loved
a one so true,
As much darling, as I truly
loved you.
Although I love you dearly and
wanted it to be.
But in your heart I knew just
mere friends were we.
Darling! It takes no stress and
strain my friend to give
you a little serious thought
Darling! For memories are
precious things
That never can be sold nor
bought.
Good-bye darling, well know-
ing you I will always say.
Thanks for letting me love you
In such a tender way

many here on campus. The
Tig-er's Roar salutes these two
distinguished faculty members.

Wliy Herman Shoiil(hi''t Be a U. S. Senator

iDind Iruni I'ligi

2)

The Federal Government is criticized for its role in civil rights,
but the southerners never take any action to guarantee eacli
citizen within its boundaries equal protection of the law and
equality of opportunity.

Herman, as we know him, shouldn't be a United States senator.
When times comes for re-election, he should be made to answer
to the Negro voters, and he must be taught to realize that he does
not just represent one segment ot the population, and that he :must
give real consideration to demands made by Negroes.

Herman is not just a senator from Georgia, but he is symbolic
of southern representation in Congress. There are other "Hermans,"
too many, in fact (the Harry Byrds. Strom Thurmonds, and James
Eastlands), created jointly by white power structure in the south
today and over 300 years of slavery and segregation of the past.

We must either remove the "Hermans" from office or force
them to make a big change in their political philosophy. We can
only do this by massing real voter-strength at the polls. Only when
this occurs will minorities in this country make significant progress.
Only then will the United States of America be a truly democratic
republic, with liberty and justice for all. Then and only then can
other nations be expected to denounce communism and adopt
forms of government and domestic and international policies that
will result in peace and harmony among members of the world
family of states.

Les Modes Pour
Le Printenips

By Jeanette Moore

Dans le domaine de la mode.
Line "collection" est un grand
festival d'elegance. La "collec-
tion" est I'ensamble de toutes
les nouvelles creations.

Nous sommes contents d'an-
nocer que les couturiers les
artistes de la mode a Paris, ont
retrouve le secret de I'enthou-
slasme du printemps.

En general les lignes sont plus
severes qu'auparavant. Les
couleurs sont tres gaies, L'accent
est sur le detail gai: les
leroderies, les perles, les rubans
et les dentelles. Les tissus, les
couleurs, les desslns, les lignes,
les formes, suggerent la bonne
humeur ou printemps. Les plis
.sont tres delicats.

Le chapeau qui harmonise le
mieux avec les nouvelles "collec-
tions" est le beret- C'est un
chapeau tres chic pour le
printemps.

Scott Junior High
School Visits SSC

On February 3, 1964. almost
fifty French students from Scott
Junior High School visited the
foreign language Laboratory of
SSC in Hill Halt. The students
presented a play similar to
"Meet the Press," with one stu-
dent giving fact-s in French and
one translating. They also sang
songs in French. One of the
favorites was "Exodus." The stu-
dents were directed by Mr.
Robert Hatcher, the French in-
structor of Scott Junior High.

La Serpiente
Y El Pato

By Earlene Freeman
Una vez habia un pato vanl-
doso que se estaba jactando ante
u grupo de animales de sus
muchas aptitudes. Andaba
pavoneandose por todas partes y
en alta voz anunciaba a todo
el mundo que el, el pato. era el
mas habil de todas los animales
de la tierra. Una serpiente sabia
que estaba cerca escucho las
palabras presuntuosas del pato y
decidio dar al ave vanidosa una
Icccion que mucha falta le hacia.
Sin embargo, el pato no sabe
volar como un aquila, ni nadar
como un pez. Asi pues. tendras
que aprender que lo importante
en la vida no es tener la
habilidad de hacer muchas. sino
de ser verdaderamente perito
en una.

SSC Student
Studies in Mexico

By Patricia Bryan

Earlene Freeman, sophomore,
majoring in Spanish, studied at
the Interamerica Universidad in
Saltillo. Mexico, during the fall
quarter.

Since she has returned to Sa-
vannah State College, many
students have been curious about
her stay in Mexico. They have
asked questions about what food
she ate. where she lived, and
how she was accepted at the
university.

Miss Freeman enjoyed her stay
there and she was accepted in a
friendly atmosphere. She en-
joyed the company of her Mexi-
can friends when they would go
to movies or seranade her with
their guitar music

There are no dormitories at
the university, so Earlene lived
in the Hotel Premier. For per-
sons who didn't wish to live in
the hotel. Mexican homes were
provided.

She found little difference in
the manner of instructing in the
classrooms. They were instructed
in practically the same way as
they are here, except the in-
structors spoke mostly in
Spanish.

The Mexican people were ex-
tremely friendly, and Earlene
found them to be a group of
handsome men and beautiful
women.

Sp

For American

College Students

CHICAGO A new academic-
year program in Spain for
American college students will
be inaugurated next August
11964) by the Institute of Euro-
pean Studies, largest U. S. spon-
sor of overseas education.

Called the Hispanic Year, the
10-month program will be con-
ducted at the University of
Madrid under the auspices of
the institute, the university's
department of political and
economic sciences, and the In-
stituto de Cultura Hispanica.
official Spanish cultural agency.

The program, designed for
superior juniors and outstanding
sophomores, offers a choice
among more than 130 courses in
history, political science, inter-
national relations, economics,
Spanish language and literature,
art history, philosophy and
theology.

Admission to the University
of Madrid will be possible for
U. S. students who qualify for
the university's courses in their
major fields, This will depend
on the student's previous course
work and his knowledge of the
special Spanish vocabulary re-
quired.

To serve other academic needs,
especially outside the student's
major field, the institute will
itself offer courses in two basic
groups, taught in Spanish by
Spanish university professors.
One group will form a broad
junior-year curriculum in all the
program's fields of study. The
other will focus on problems of
the Atlantic community and on
Spain in its relations with Africa
and the New World.

In addition, students may elect
to follow a supplementary pro-
gram of Hispanic studies in his-
tory, art history. literature and
philosophy, conducted by the
university's faculty of philosophy
and letters.

Institute President Robert T.
Bosshart said the new program
culminates more than two years
of planning aimed at integrating
the U. S. undergraduate as
deeply as possible into a Spanish
university while helping him
satisfy American college require-
ments. He pointed out that the
larger American-sponsored pro-
grams in Spain do not offer
registration in regular univer-
sity courses.

"We also wanted to open
opportunities for academic work
in Spain not only to language
majors but to students in the
social sciences as well," Bosshart
said. "Reactions to this and to
the general plan of the program
have been excellent, both in this
country and in Spain."

Other features of the new
program include intensive
Spanish language training upon
arrival in Madrid and during

both semesters, orientation lec-
tures on all major aspect-s of
Spain and its culture, and two

ernor Harriman of New York.
After each speech, the students
were given opportunities to ask
questions.

At approximately 2:45, after
the last speech, we got on buses
again for the climax of our stay
in Washington, a visit to the
White House for a reception
given by Mrs. Lyndon B. John-
son.

When the seven buses of stu-
dents pulled up to the gates of
the White House, a guard at the
gates got on the bus to count
the persons on each one before
we were let inside. Inside the
gates we were let out in front
of the White House and we
entered in single file.

In the front room we checked
our coats. This room was a
medium sized room with walls
decorated with paintings telling
the story of slavery. From this
room we were directed upstairs
by the men whom we thought
were guards because of the dark
suits they were wearing and be-
cause they were all over the
building.

Upstairs we were entertained
in the East Room by an enter-
tainer impersonating Mark
Twain. The room was very
crowded and many of us had to
stand.

We had been told that the
President was invited to speak
to us at the White House, but
no one was sure if he would have
the time to speak to a group of
college editors. You can imagine
how everyone felt when he
walked into the room. Those
that were sitting stood and
everyone gave an applause which
they couldn't seem to stop.

After the applauding ceased,
the President gave us a brief
greeting and left the room as
swiftly as he had entered.

Students then began leaving
the room for a tour of the White
House and the reception with
with Mrs. Johnson,

After leaving the White House.
I and the other editors from
Georgia, along with Gary Bell of
A & T University, North Caro-
lina, rushed back to the State
Department Building to meet
the Secretary of State.

The trip was coming to an
end. It had been an enjoyable
one. It was socially, education-
ally and culturally stimulating,
and I wish to thank those who
made it possible. Thanks to Mr,
Wilton C, Scott and President

The Department of Chemistry.
Savannah State College, has
been offeved a S3.000 grant from
the Research Corporation. The
grant was offered upon the
$2,400 request made by Dr.
Charles Pratt, head of the
Chemistry Department, to be
used for the purpose of further-
ing research projects and for
scholarships and fellowships.

The grant will be used mostly
to carry out a proposed researcli
projects. "Synthesis and study
of aplose and other odd type
sugars." It is deemed feasible to
undertake study of this research
project because of the im-
portance in biological functions
of branched and deoxy sugars.
If these sugars could be isolated
in abundance, then their role in
metabolism could be studied
more conveniently.

Two senior students will work
on the problem with the project
director. Dr. Piatt. They will re-
port their progress in depart-
mental seminars.

Values of Lent

February 12th marked the be-
ginning of Lent for this year
1964. All over the world Chris-
tians of all faiths are beginning
to make ready for the celebra-
tion of the resurrection of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
Therefore in this article let us
discuss the valuest of Lent.

Lent is a time for beholding
"the Lamb of God, which taketh
away the sins of the world,"
Christ came to the world for the
redemption of man's sins and
through the Divine Father on
High, He suffered, bled and died
on Calvary to free man from
sin's bondage. And also that
every man regardless of race.
color, or creed might have a
right to the tree of everlasting
Ufe.

Lent is also a time for "look-
ing unto Jesus, the author and
finisher of our faith." When we
look upon Jesus, we are looking
at a man who although He was
rich, for your sins and mine He
became poor. No greater love
hath no man that he gave his
life for his sheep- This is ex-
pressed in the 23rd Psalms when
King David said, "The Lord is
my shepherd."

Again Lent is a time for self-
examination. Just as it is wise
to go to a physician for an oc-
casional physical check-up, so
it is wise to go to the Great
Physician for a spiritual exami-
nation. The Holy Communion
service is an excellent occasion
for self-examination, introspec-
tion, with the aid of the Spirit
of God. We must examine our
hearts for traces of sin for sin
is an insidious poison and can
get out of control. We need to
examine our attitudes to find.
are we in love and charity with
our associates? Do we love God
with singleness of heart? Have
we the spirit of forgiveness as
taught by Jesus? We also need
to re-examine our Christian
priniples. standards, and con-
victions. Examine self, face the
facts honestly; and do some-
thing about your findings.

Lent is also a time to pray.
"create in me a clean heart, O
God; and renew a right spirit
within me." "Ask, and it shall
be given you; seek, and ye shall
find ; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you."

Lent is a time for accepting
the cross of Christ as well as
the Christ of the cross. One

Itev. Lorenzo McNeal

writer has said, "Must Jesus
bear the cross alone and all the
world go free? No, there's a
cross for everyone and there's
a cross for me." Remember also
that no man's life is complete
without Jesus,

Lent is also a time for spiritual
feasting, not just physical fast-
ing, for emphasis upon what we
take up, not upon what we give
up. and to draw near with a true
heart in full assurance of faith,"

"Let us draw near with a true
heart in full assurance of faith."
Hebrew 10:22.

AVir Religious

r*^an\zation

o

On Campus

A new rehgious organization
has been organized for Savannah
State College- It all started when
a group of young men and
women, who were interested in
religion and concerned about the
spiritual life of the students of
Savannah State College, met to
form an organization whereby
something could be done to
emphasize more religious con-
victions in our everyday lives.

The group has a constitution
which govei'ns the organization.
The name of the organization is,
"The Savannah State College
Student Religious Society "

The officers of the organiza-
tion are, President, Rev. Ervin
Jennings; Vice President. Rev.
Lorenzo P, McNeal : Secretary.
Deloris Moss; Assistant Secre-
tary, Elizabeth Tucker; Chap-
lain, George Black; Reporters,
Gladys Medlock and Henry Ginn.
and Advisor, Dr. Eaton

The organization holds its
meetings each Wednesday morn-
ing during the third class hour.
During the meetings discussions
on religion, moral standards,
and talks are given on religion.
The organization has in effect
during Lent "meditation" which
is held in Meldrim Auditoritim
each day- Every student is in-
vited to go to this assembly hall
and meditate during Lent, each
in his own manner. The hours
of meditation are from 9 to 3
Monday through Pi'iday,

Also the organization is ac-
cepting members. All persons
interested may contact any
member of the organization or
go to the meeting which is held
in room 319 in Hill Hall each
Wednesday morning.

Library Program Requests Contributions

By Sam Ward

The Savannah State College
Library Friends program was
instituted three years ago for
the purpose of giving the library
a vehicle to use in building its
book collection. Students, faculty,
business firms, and interested
citizens are urged to contribute
books or money for the purchase
of books.

Organizations or persons who
contribute will have their names
placed on a specially designed
Friends" bookplate which will
be placed in each book. The
organization or person who con-
tributes the largest number of
books or cash in a given year
will also have their names in-
scribed on a plaque.

The "Friends" program is not
a substitute for library appropri-

ations but a supplement to |
library appropriations. It Is im- I
perative that the library collec-
tion grow considerably, if the
college expects to meet the
American Library Association
standards.

The "Friends" program is ,
under the auspices of the Library j
Committee, headed by the Col-
lege Librarian, Mr. E. J. Josey. '
Mrs. Dorothy B, Jamerson and
Sam Ward are co-chairmen of a
sub -committee to contact stu-
dent organizations. Persons or j
firms interested in contributing i
may make checks payable to the
Savannah State College Library i
Friend.s Book Fund. Persons who !
have books may call the Office
of the Librarian. All library-
minded citizens are urged to
participate in this worthwhile
program. I

DEGRADED MORALS

By Gwendolyn Buchanan

"Behavior Is a minor which everyone displays his image."

Goethe

The mirror on Savannah State College Campus has displayed
the Images of students who have neglected the field of morals and
the values or goals of human living. This negligence has resulted
In extremely bad behavior by the students.

Students appear to have lost ail hold of self-control and
temperance. Onrushing Impulses and passions are driving them
unbalanced and uncheclied In moral judgment and conduct. There
Is a tendency to engage in certain experiences mainly for pleasure
and satisfaction. Intemperance, fury, drunlienness. and violence
are moral disasters that are happening on our campus. These
pleasurable experiences aren't so pleasant to others and they are
degrading the .standards of the school.

A choice of real moral values reflects careful and right judg-
ment. Most of all it reflects the intelligence of the students. An
Intelligent student can determine good or bad behavior, decide
what Is right or wrong, and have a standard of values. He is
respectable, well-mannered and well-tempered.

Perhaps what we need as college students Is a philosophy of
life which would guide us in our daily living. We need to master
self control. This would eliminate the unpleasant experiences or
situations that are happening on o\u- campus. There wouldn't be
any breaking of locks to enter buildings that are closed after
certain hours, the unnecessary profanity in the male and female
conversations, the heavy and uncontrollable drinking, and the need
of chaperones at any or every social gathering that college men
and women should be capable of carrying out by themselves.

Eventually college students will be treated as high school girls
and boys because of present behavior and conduct. We have already
proven that we are Irresponsible.

We can prevent such moral disasters on our campus. For a long
time we have known of many wrong-doing, but have failed or
refused to report them. We liave covered up the wrong of others
because we were afraid of losing a friend, or being branded as the
cheese-eater of the crowd.

If we are going to delete this behavior and work to raise the
standards of the school, we must be willing to lose a friend or
"eat a little cheese," We need to attach ourselves to some worth-
while task and spend some time in this task. We need to have
a wide range of Interests and an appreciation of aesthetic values
in our daily Hving. The interest in music, art, and other aesthetic
forms would prevent us from becoming bored and restless, thus
seeking pleasure through immoral activities. We should try to live
in the presence of the best. We have the tendency to become like
those we admire and associate with, therefore we should place
ourselves in the presence of great ideals and the beautiful. We
should respect our own personality and the personalities of others.

Our life would become more meaningful if we would help
bring about better conditions.

By Charle.s Smalls

As the angel Gabriel prepares
for the thunderous warning
trumpet-sound of Judgment Day,
so does the electrifying James
Baldwin warn and summon
every human eye and ear of the
coming fire, i.e., the firey storm
which will set the segregation-
ists, the "uncle toms." the hypo-
crites and the vile and prejudiced
people of the world a-burnin'.
For Baldwin says "I represent
sin, love, death, sex. liell, terror
and other things too frightening
for you to recognize,'"

Baldwin, perhaps the most
militant, most witty, most
controversial and most out-
spoken literary figure of the
20th century, is making one of
the most prolific contributions
toward the human race in the
area of human rights. His
constant theme is the depiction
of the Negro's struggle for
equality and dignity. Unlike
other Negro leaders who stage
boycotts and demonstrations for
human equality and brother-
hood, Mr, Baldwin expresses the
Negro's agony, discontent, views.
desires and anxieties in the
lecture halls of colleges and
universities ail over the U. S.,
and he ex-presses these same
ideas in exploding and powerful
words in his novels, articles, and
essays. Moreover, he has un-
ceasingly and unrelentingly
stirred and perplexed the minds
of the white intellectuals, in an
effort to inform them that the
Negro's chains of slavery have
fallen off. and that now the
Negro has become cognizant of
his equal rights in America the
nation for which he fought,
suffered and died in countless
wars to retain the American
heritage and principles of free-
dom and equality. Baldwin in-
dicates that his aim is to "shake
them I the whites) up, disturb
the peace. . . ."

White segregationists feel that
Baldwin is talking about a new
phase of American inequality
that has not existed on the scene
before. It is my contention that
this spokesman for the Negro,
Baldwin, paints a picture of the
injustices of American democ-
racy and prejudices that exist
now! He expresses the political
incompetence of southern con-
gressmen to act affirmatively on
civil rights. He stresses the
negligence of the white com-
munities to accept the long
overdue bill in America that
needs paying. He destroys the
white man's "'stay In your place"
attitude. Most important of all,
he depicts the transition of the
Negro from an attitude of com-
placency to an attitude of con-
cern for his rights as a human
being.

It is the duty of every in-
dividual to make a contribution
to his race. Not only has Mr.
Baldwin made a monumental
contribution to the Negro race,
but he has also instilled pride
and convictions which will long
affect the human race. Long
live the lore of the dynamic,
the great, and the militant
James Baldwin!

VOTING IS THE WAY!

By Ernest P- Lavender

Around campus you have seen
signs with sentences such as
"In voting there is power;
register now" and "Are you a
registered voter? If not do so
now." There is a great deal of
meaning in the words on these
signs. Have you read them and
digested the information on
them? If not. this article was
written especially for you.

It makes me shutter to pick
up a morning paper and see in
bold print that a Southern
senator ha.s made a proposal
saying that all Negroes should
be distributed evenly among the
several states. It should also
make you furious to think that
the "wliites" consider you as
nothing more than cattle to be
moved, or herded around from
place to place. For myself, I be-
lieve that I am a human being
like the person who makes such
statements and I will do every-
thing in my power to counteract
such proposals.

You, as a Negro should also
be willing to fight these pro-
posals which are made by this
white population.

Indirectly, you are at fault for
such proposals made by a United
States senator, for you put him
in office and gave him the power
to make such a drastic state-
ment. If only you had exercised
a privilege guaranteed by the
constitution that is rightfully

yours, this person and others
like him would not hold a po-
sition in the United States
Senate,

To fight such act-s and pro-
posals made by our southern
senators we must be registered
voters and we must exercise this
privilege to vote if we are to win
the battle for civil rights.

Supposely, America is a free
and democratic nation, but I
wonder is it? If so, men would
not have to debate whether we.
the American Negro and other
members of the minority races
of this so-called democratic
nation, should have equal rights
as compared to the rights that
the whites enjoy.

The civil rights debate which
is now going on in the U. S.
Senate is shameful to the Ameri-
can image abroad. I feel that a
bill should not be necessary in
America to insure minority races
equal privileges in their respec-
tive states and in their travels
throughout the country. For this
debate in the senate. I once
again blame myself and you;
for through negligence of our
sacred duty to vote, and helping
our enemies in the United States
Senate.

Therefore, I invite all Savan-
nah State students to join the
effort of the College Chapter of
the NAACP,

Rapid Turnover o( Student Leaders Is itdvantagcoDS

Dear Friends:

The rapidity of the turnover
of student leaders at our colleges
and universities is advantageous
in several respects. First, it
guarantees that each year will
begin witli the kind of en-
thusiastic leadership which is a
prerequisite to successful student
government programming. Sec-
ond, it offers a "way out" for
cynicism and despair. Third, the
rapidity of the turnover of stu-
dent leaders brings a steady flow
of new ideas.

But the rapid change In stu-
dent leadership also has dis-
advantages. Among these are the
inevitable disoriented state of
the new student leaders at the
beginning of their term of office,
and the difficulty of confront-
ing each of the year's problems
in a manner which is more than
just expedient and pragmatic.

As the student leaders of 1963-
1964 confer the reigns of leader-
ship upon their successors, it is
of particular importance that
they also acquaint their suc-
cessors with the complex con-
text within which they must
work. One of the best ways to
accomplish this objective is to
hold a series of seminars, at a
weekend student leadership re-
treat or at evening meetings
held over a period of several
weeks.

The seminars might be of the
following nature;

I, The first seminar could
consider the basic relationship
between the college and the stu-
dent. What is the responsibility
of the college to each of its stu-
dents? Who is charged with the
duty of meeting this responsi-
bility? What are the checks on
those who share the responsi-
bility?

I would suggest that a panel
composed of the outgoing stu-
dent body president, the presi-
dent of the college, the dean of
students, a member of the
faculty senate, and a member of
the philosophy department pre-
sent their views as an introduc-
tion to general discussion.

II. The second seminar might
be devoted to the discussion of
how the college is expected to
and can best serve society. Con-
flicts between the demands of
society and the goals of the col-
lege can be discussed at this
seminar. The last part of the
seminar should be devoted to a
discussion how the college can
overcome this conflict.

This seminar should include
speakers from the state or
federal governments, an indus-
trial executive, an attorney who
has demonstrated a concern for
liigher education, a professor
from the political science de-
partment, and a professor from
the humanities.

III. The third seminar might
consider the pursuit of the col-
leges' ideals. When we think of
the word "college." do we have
a certain ideal in mind? Is the
word "community" descriptive of
that ideal? Do student leaders,
faculty members, and adminis-
trators have a common interest
in the pursuit of that ideal?
What are particular examples
of students working with faculty
members and administrators
toward tlie ideal? How might
student government increase its
effectiveness in striving to
achieve the objectives of the
college? How can student lead-
ers, faculty members, and ad-
ministrators work more closely
together?

I would suggest that three very
articulate people, a student
leader, a faculty member, and
an administrator address them-
selves to each of these questions
in a written essay. The essays
should be mimeographed and
distributed to each of the
seminar participants land per-
haps to everyone at the college).
The seminar should use these
reports as the basis for discus-
sion in small groups composed
of students, faculty members,
and administrators.

IV The last part of the pro-
gram should consist of a series
of conferences between each of

THE TIGER'S ROAR

Gov. Rockefeller's Views on Civil Rislits

Governor Rockefeller's views
on civil rights are founded on
liis deep seated belief ttiat "this
nation was created to give ex-
pression, validity and purpose to
our spiritual heritage proclaim-
ing the supreme worth of the
individual." i Buffalo. June 17
19601.

"If, as individuals and as a
people, we tolerate false divisions
of man against man: if we
tolerate pretensions of superi-
ority by any people, including
ourselves: if we tolerate arbi-
trary barriers against progress
by any people, in our own na-
tion or in the world ... we shall
have broken faith with our
fathers and we shall deserve the
disrespect we shall invite."
(Chicago. May 1. 1960)
Republican Heritage of Freedom

Rockefeller points out that the
Republican heritage is the herit-
age of freedom and equality for
all men.

"As Republicans we take pride
and assume special responsibility
in the fact that ours is Lincoln's
Party.

"This party was born in the
fight to make men free. It did
make them free and its mission
remains what it has been from
the beginning to extend that
freedom to every individual ii:
every phase of his life in the
home, in the neighborhood, in
the school, in the office and
factory, in all public places
and most important of all, in the
heart-s of his fellow men."
(Niagara Falls, Feb, 15. 19621

Rockefeller notes that it was
under the leadership of Presi-
dent Eisenhower that the first
two civil rights bills since the
Civil War Reconstruction Period
were passed.

"This was done under the
moral leadership of a Republican
President operating without
Congressional majorities and
with the militant resistance of
a large segment of the Demo-
cratic Congress." (Niagara Falls,
Feb. 15, 1962)

The Governor also points out
that in 1960 there has been con-
stant Republican pressure to
keep these promises.

Rockefeller contrasts this with
the divided position of the
Democratic Party He points out
that despite all the Democratic
campaign promises in 1960
despite 2 to 1 Democratic con-
trol of Congressional Committees
and despite very substantial
Democratic majorities in the
House and Senate action on
comprehensive civil rights meas-
ures was not advocated by the
Democratic Administration until
mid-1963- (New York City. Feb
12 and Oct. 21, 1963)

The Rockefeller Record on
Civil Rights

The Rockefeller Administra-
tion's record in New York State
is an outstanding example of
pioneering advances in civil
rights. Since he took office in
1959. the State has.

Banned discrimination In
sale of all private housing and
in the rental of all except owner-
occupied one- and two-family
dwellings and apartments.

Barred discriminatory prac-
tices by real estate brokers and
loan institutions in sale and
rental of all housing and com-
mercial space covered by anti-
bias laws-

Broadened ban against dis-
crimination in public accom-
modations.

Tightened ban on discrimi-
nation in apprenticeship and
other job-training programs.

Initiated new procedures for
the effective enforcement of
State Laws against employment
discrimination.

Made it unlawful to "re-
taliate" against any person be-
cause he filed a complaint, testi-
fied or assisted in any proceed-

ing before the State Commission
for Human Rig'hts.

Expanded the State Com-
mission for Human Rights,

Created new Special Cabinet
Committee to coordinate all
state government activities in
the civil rights field,

Authorized counties, towns.
cities and villages to create com-
missions on human relations for
constructively resolving group
tensions and encouraging other
municipal agencies to eliminate
or prevent discrimination-
Action Required on Civil Rights

Governor Rockefeller has re-
peatedly called for the passage
of a comprehensive civil rights
bill which would, among othfr
matters, contain provisions for:

Stronger voting guarantees.

Initiative by the Attorney
General in enforcing civil rights,

Equal opportunity for em-
ployment.

Non-discriminatory access to
public accommodations.

Helping to insure public
education on a desegregated
basis in compliance with the law
of the land.

He strongly urges that there
be no further delay in passing
civil rights legislation. He has
called upon members of botii
parties to support such legis-
lation.

As to the relative role of the
states and Federal Government,
the Governor has said that:

"The right of equal opportuni-
ties for all citizens is the respon-
sibility of all levels of govern-
ment, but if the states do not
accept their responsibility, then
it is incumbent upon the Federal
Government to protect the rights
of the individual." (Washington,
D. C, January 10, 19641

"The Federal Government has
a deep mora! and constitutional
responsibility to guarantee equal
rights for every American," (As-
sociated Press Interview, October
17, 1963)

The Governor also stresses the
importance of upgrading educa-
tion and training for minority
groups to help enable individuals
to find jobs in today's advanced,
technologically oriented labor
market. He points out that the
nation must develop 20 million
new jobs in the next five year,s
to provide enough jobs for th-j
nation's expanding labor force,
to reduce current high-level un-
employment and to provide new
job opportunities for workers
displaced by automation. Creat-
ing more new jobs is particu-
larly vital for members of
minority groups for whom un-
employment rates are now sub-
stantially above the national
average. 'New York City, Nov
14, 1963)

"We did not found this nation
upon any manner of racist con-
cept but upon a basic belief in
the individual his worth, his
dignity, his freedom. So be it
today.

"We did found this nation as
the best political structure we
could then devise to further the
fulfillment of our faith in the
individual and his free destiny.
Let us today do likewise."

Dishartnony

OBERLIN. Ohio (LP.) Ober-
lin's Board of Trustees has re-
sponded to student-administra-
tion disharmony by designating
a committee to study "the na-
ture, purpose, and quality of the
College and the nature of its
concern for the character and
conduct of its students."

The Board also provided for
the introduction of a Dean of
Students into the administrative
hierarchy and authorized Presi-
dent Robert K. Carr to "initiate,
review, or act finally with re-
spect to any student disciplinary
matter affecting, in his judg-
ment, the best interests of the
College."

On this authorization. Presi-
dent Carr commented, "I think
the Board views the new provi-
sion as putting into by-law lan-
guage authority and responsi-
bility which the President has
always possessed."

The Board's Executive Com-
mittee noted that "many Trus-
tees and alumni have made
known to the President their
continuing concern about the ef-
fect of student conduct and the
impending Saturday Night Call-
ing hours experiment on the
character, standing, and welfare
of the College."

The demands of our changing
age require an immediate In-
clusion of international study in
the standard U. S. college and
university curriculum.

The statement was made by
Dr. John Nason. president of
Carleton College, in the April
issue of Overseas, the Magazine
of Educational Exchange, pub-
lished monthly by the Institute
of International Education. Dr.
Nason's article, "Colleges Must
Reassess Their International Re-
sources." was part of the special
issue devoted to the Interna-
tional role of the university.

Increasing numbers of Ameri-
cans will live their lives In the
world abroad since modern
science and technology have
abolished the possibility of isola-
tionism, Dr. Nason states, "Inter-
national understanding involves
not only a knowledge of the
more obvious political, economic
and military, and geographical
facets of the relations among
states, but also an awareness of
why people behave as they do,
how their cultures differ from
ours," he said.

He emphasized that not only
will such study enrich a stu-
dent's knowledge but It will en-
able him to see himself in per-
spective. "It liberates him from
the limitations and accidents of
his particular position, from the
narrowness of custom and habit,
from preconception, from mean-
ness of spirit and littleness of
mind."

Mr. Nason advocated that
undergraduate colleges which
lack the facilities of large uni-
versities for including special-
ized world affairs courses in
their curricula could include
material in courses already
established : Asian religions In
religion courses, economic
examples from India or Indo-
nesia in economic classes, po-
litical illustrations from Africa
or the Middle East in govern-
ment courses, a Chinese novel
in translation in an English
course.

In another article in the
special issue. Dr. Landrum Boil-
ing, president of Earlham Col-
lege, relates how his "small, poor,
Indiana, church-related, under-
graduate, liberal arts college,"
has made "the whole world Its
campus." He tells of his college's
summer and fall semester-
abroad plan, which after much
stifling and disapproval among
faculty members, now places
groups In France, Italy, Ger-
many. Austria, England,- Den-
mark, Finland, the Soviet Union,
Spain, Mexico and Japan.

In evaluating the experience
Dr. Boiling said. "Most of these
students have shown striking
evidence of Increasing in-
tellectual and social maturity.
Some have appraised their for-
eign study as an opportunity to
break out of long-developing
attitudes toward academic work
as a stulifying grind and to
generate a fresh enthusiasm and
stronger motivation for learn-
ing."

Dr. Boiling also suggested that
non-western study programs be
Included in the standard cur-
riculum. He feels such programs
will produce needed specialists
in non-western affairs but even
more Important, they will enrich
the liberal arts education.

To show further how Inter-
national education can become
an Integral part of higher edu-
cation. Dr. Joe W. Neal, director
of the international office at the
University of Texas in Austin,
Texas, wrote that an Interna-
tional officer should be a mem-
ber of the administration of
each college and university. He
emphasized that only by giving
the institution's international
activities a central core can they

over-all international role of the

NATIONAL SUICIDE

By Congressman Craig Hosmer,

California
No. N-566

By unilateral measures, the
United States is rapidly sapping
its national stature as a military
power.

The amount of money
budgeted for our strategic re-
taliatory forces, bombers, and
missiles has been drastically cut.
In fiscal year 1962 the sum was
$9.1 billion. For fiscal year 1965
the sum is $5.3 billion, a reduc-
tion of more than 40%.

The RS-70 program has beeii
all but killed.

Production of the B-58 bomber
has been stopped

The B-52 bombers are being
retired 2 or 3 years ahead of
schedule.

All B-47's have been ordered
junked by 1966.

The Skybolt missile program
has been eliminated.

The Jupltor and Thor missiles
have been removed from their
sites in Turkey and Italy, just
7 months after they were in-
stalled.

Our high-powered Atlas D and
Titan I long-range missiles are
headed for the scrap heap.

By Executive order, the pro-
duction of fissionable nuclear
materials is to be cut drastically
and nuclear reactors are to be
shut down.

A proposal has been made to
Soviet Russia for mutual
destruction of twenty bombers a
month for the next two years.

Plans for nuclear aircraft
carriers have been shelved and

Nike-Zeus mlssUe-killer produc-
tion cancelled.

Just 90 miles from the shores
of Florida, there Is a threaten-
ing Communist base of action.
We do not know the true story
of the purported removal of
Soviet rockets from Cuba.

Reports are constantly being
received that the Russians are
entrenching themselves in forti-
fied caves and concrete bunkers
in the provinces of Castroland,

We read of secret midnight
movements of Soviet groups and
the establishment of Russian
military compounds completely
isolated even from their Cuban
puppets.

Reports are heard that the
Societs are now constructing a
spy satellite system in Cuba
which will make the United
States subject to continual sur-
veillance.

The newspapers tell us that
both Red Russia and Red China
have threatened warlike
measures if we attempt to re-
trieve our military position in
Vietnam by stepped-up military
maneuvers against Communist
northern Vietnam forces.

Newspapers recently reported
that our intelligence apparatus
has discovered new anti-anti-
missile networks being estab-
lished around Moscow.

and with the enemy making
continued advances in the Far
East, in the Near East, in Africa,
and in South America, the

"Guesl in the House
Presented By College Players

^riic CoWbgv Pluycrs presented
"Guest In the House," a three
act drama written by Hagar
Wilde, starring Jewell Williams
and John C. Reld, in Lyons.
Georgia, April 20, 1964. The pre-
sentation was sponsored by SSC
Alumni to raise funds for the
National Defense Student Loan,
This was the second perform-
ance of the College Players.

"Guest In the House" was
about problems created for the
Procter family when a cousin of
Mrs. Proctor, a slightly neurotic
woman named Evelyn Heath,
moved In. Shortly afterwards she
devised a plot In which Mrs.
Proctor was led to believe that
there was reason to be
suspicious of her husband and
an attractive young model
Meanwhile Evelyn was making
an attempt to pain the affec-
tions of Mr. Procter for herself.

Jewell Williams played the
part of Mrs. Procter and Mr,
Procter was played by John C.
Reid.

Other members of the cast
were Jeanette Moore as Lee
Procter, Mary J. Reid as Hilda.
James R, Smith as Rev. Dr.
Shaw, Eloise Glover as Aunt
Martha, Lois Carson as Miriam
Blake. Lawrence Wilson as Dan
Procter. Patricia Quarterman as
Evelyn Heath, William Bush as
Frank Dow. Maitha Russell as
Mis. Dow. Lorianne Brown as
Miss Rhodes, and Charles Wright
as Tracy.

About fourteen members of
the group were responsible for
tlie behind the scene action
which was necessary in the pro-
duction. The Production Staff
were Charles Wright, stage man-
ager, his assistants, Chai'les Hall,
Tony Wright and Earl Waltour;

study. Juanlta Wright; and
Stage Design and Set. Tony
Wright and Charles Hall,

Players have been given lead-
ing roles in "Tomorrow and To-
morrow," which will be presented
in their series of performances.
"Tomorrow and Tomorrow,"
written by Phillip Barry, is the
story of the circumstances which
confront a woman married to an
"over dedicated" college pro-
fessor when she falls in love
with another man.

J. B. Clemmons, faculty ad-
visor and director of the Play-
house, says that plans are in
the making for exchange per-
formances with other schools
and also the staking of produc-
tions at various cities within the
state.

The ambitions of the College
Players are not limited to ex-
change performances and tours
of the state. They say what they
are really aiming for is a rating
by the State Department which
will make them eligible to repre-

Art Students Produce Art of liiih tjualitv

The Art Department has had
a very busy week and indeed
another seems to be in the
making.

The outstanding achievement
was the splendid showing made
by the art students of Savannah
State College in the Fourth
Annual Coastal Empire Arts
Festival. The entire display was
considered to be of high quality
by many. The quality of the
show was further emphasized
by the awards received by Clara
Rhaney for her charcoal draw-
ing "Shady Landscape" and
Barbara J. Troup for her
polymer painting, "Red Arrange-
ment." The painting classes have
been working with the com-
paratively new medium, acrylic
polymer latex, for three years
now. There is much to learn of
polymer's properties and limita-
tions.

The instructor of the painting
classes, P. J. Hampton, was
awarded first prize in the pro-
fessional division for his paint-
ing "Sand and Sun." a polymer
painting. The same painting was
also purchased by a local art
collector.

The judge for the show w'as
the internationally distinguished
H. Lester Cooke, curator of the
National Gallery of Art, Wash-
ington, D, C.

Other exhibitors in the show
were Jessie Scott. Betty Colien,
Mary Brown, and Roosevelt
Harris, and in the professional
division, Mrs, Susan Waters, Mrs.
Waters is presently helping ouc
with the class overload in the
art department at Savannah
State.

The Art Department also sent
a box of paintings to the Na-
tional Conference of Artist^s'
show in Little Rock. Arkansas.
Artists participating in this show
were Mary Ann Brown, Betty
Cohen, Clara J. Rhaney. Jessie
Scott, and Roosevelt Harris.

Roosevelt Harris designed the
Men's Festival souvenir bulletin
for this year, in addition to
other art services for the
festival. Mr. Harris has entered
his work in competition with
other colleges throughout the
nation. He is competing in the
St. Regis Paper Company's Fifth
Annual Collegiate Packaging De-
sign Competition. This competi-
tion has a total of S7,625 In cash
and savings bond awards.

The Art Department is rapidly
preparing for its Fine Arts
Festival affairs. The festival is
to be held from May 3rd through
8th- Announcement will be

National Suicide

ment proposals: proposals which
the Soviets laugh at and deride.
Very recently at the Geneva
18-nation Disarmament Confer-
ence, the U. S. representative
announced with great fanfare
that certain American reactors
are being placed under inter-
national inspection. The move
was entirely unilateral on our
part. No similar action by the
Communists was demanded in
return.

All this might be logical if we
were dealing with people who
understand such things as good
faith and noble examples. But
the Reds do not. Such gestures
merely prove that our disarmers
fail totally to understand the
nature of the Red enemy.

The Communists have never
shown a sincere Interest in any
disarmament proposal which
provided for a compulsory veri-
fication system. They secretly
arm as we publicly disarm and
weaken ourselves.

In September. 191 . Congress
established the organization now
called the U S. Arms Control
and Disarmament Agency. The
intention was to use this agency
to put all arms-control study
and informational work under
one roof, so to speak, to prevent
overlapping research activities,
to prevent failure to co-ordinate
background information and
poor communications between
various agencies concerned with
national security and foreign
policy. From the beginning there
were reservations held by many
that the title of the agency was
a misnomer and that the Dis-
armament Act of 1961 went fur-
ther than the original intent of
Congress.

As a result of the reports and
recommendations of the Agency.
we find in official circles today
fuzzy thinking relating to our
role in the world military
balance of power. We have been
told "let the Soviet become equal
with the United States in mili-
tary might and the Soviet will
no longer fear us or attack us."
This is the fallacious logic of
the theoreticians and amateur
military strategists of the Arms
Control and Disarmament
Agency,

A theory, which is embraced
by the staff and policies of the
Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency, entails the belief that
"the only road to peace is the
road of disarmament." That is
not true. The real road to peace
is national strength, both mili-
tary and moral.

To retain the opportunity to
take this road, the disarmers
should be put on some kind of
a reasonable leash and a safety
catch placed on the U. S. Arms
Control and Disarmament
Agency's dangerous tendency to
lead us ever deeper in the fatal
quicksands of do-it-yourself dis-
armament.

Make the Agency and "arms
control" not "disarmament" re-
search agency and so title it.
Take it away from the Depart-
ment of State planners and free
It from the obvious policies of
pacifism of the present Depart-
ment of State, Make it respon-
sible to Congress. Give access
to all Agency reports and recom-
mendations to the chairman and
senior minority members of key
committees, such as House and
Senate Armed Services, Foreign
Affairs, Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy.

Have the President indicate,
at least 30 days prior, his inten-
tion to reduce or eliminate the
armed services' strength, to the
key House and Senate commit-
tee chairmen and senior
minority members. This would
not Interfere with the consti-
tutional rights of the executive
department but would enable
the department to secure the
support of Members of Congress
in vital areas of national
opinion.

SSC Student Gets
An Assistantship

By Lottie Mae Fussell

Mr, Leander Merrltt, a senior
Chemistry major, has been
offered a teaching assistanceship
at Oklahoma State University in
Stillwater. Oklahoma. He will
start September 1, 1964,

Leander will be working two
hours per day assisting m the
laboratory and elementary quiz
section, for five days a week.
His salary will start with S220
per month.

He will be able to carry ten
credit hours of course work each
semester plus assist in the
laboratory,

Leander is a well known stu-

security would require the
affirmative action of both
Houses of Congress.

I have introduced a bill, H.R.
10311. to do these things. It is
my hope that other Members of
the House and Senate will offer
similar Bills and that the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs
will provide ample time for con-
sideration of H.R. 10311 at an
early date.

By no act or word have the
Communists given up their goal
of world domination. There has
been no real lessening of ten-
sions. In the meanwhile, here at
home we have drastically cut
back proper research and de-
velopment of new weapons and
have decreased our striking force
by a systematic reduction of air-
power.

The late President Kennedy
said in his last state of the
Union address:

"Until the world can develop
a reliable system of interna-
tional security, the free peoples
have no choice but to keep their
arms near "

Career Day on April 16tli

The Savannah State College
chemistry department celebrated
"Chemistry Career Day," Thurs-
day. April 16. 1964.

The purpose of the occasion
was to inform the students in
the surrounding high schools of
the many opportunities which
await them in the field of
chemistry and how Savannah
State College's chemistry depart-
ment is equipped to prepare
them.

Dr. Charles Pratt, head of the
chemistry department, said,
"The department of chemistry
aimed to develop critical and
accurate thinking on the part of
students with an adequate
scientific subject-matter back-
ground for the many opportuni-

ties that await tliem in the field
of chemistry."

The program was conducted
by the chemistry majors in
Meldrlm Auditorium. Immedi-
ately after the program the stu-
dents toured the chemistry de-
partment, followed by a re-
ception which was held in the
auditorium of the Technical
Science Building-

MAKING IT MATCH

Riddle-De-Dee

From book by Bennet Cerf

Q_What is the difference be-
tween an optimist and a pessi-
mist?

A A pessimist is a female
who is afraid she won't be able
to squeeze her car into a very
small parking space. An optimist
is a male who thinks she won't
try.

Q_How many apples were
eaten in the garden of Eden?

Hats, Hats, Hats
And Hats

Did you make a hat for Easter?
If not look in the college center
and see some that were made in
Clothing and Textiles 415 dur-
ing the winter quarter. The
course is a very creative one and
even a person with no knowledge
of sewing can make a hat with
the right instructions.

In case you are Interested and
need an elective this summer,
why not try T & C 415 for an
extra 3 hours? You will have
loads and loads of fun.

The course will be taught by
Mrs. M. Avery of the Home
Economics Department. Sign up
early.

You may have a trim skirt
with a plaid blouse or a sport
suit with a kick pleat and yet.
with all things considered, you
still do not look neat. You may
walk with your head high and
your skirts short, and wear red
shoes and a flower in your hair
and still not stop the crowd.
Your hair is shining; you are
cleaned and pressed. You have
been scrubbed and brushed,
tubbed and polished and you
should look alt right. You have
put enough effort into your ap-
pearance to make front page
fashion copy. But something is
missing. What goes with smooth-
ness? Wliat goes with that
groovey look? You have all the
makings of looking lovely and
yet you do not because you do
not match.

Step back a few paces and
take a look at yourself broad-
side. You do look pretty of course
pretty but patchy. Your clothes
are all of one piece but they are
all pieced together with the
wrong places. Now you can not
do this to yourself! You can not
mix your plaids and checks or
your stars and stripes and still
keep the flag waving.

Concentrate on one ideal at
a time. This may be your day to

his successor. Each of the dis-

written report prepared by the
outgoing student leaders. It
would be of even greater value
for each of the new student
leaders to meet with two or three
of his predecessors.

I hope that this suggested
program proves valuable to you.
If you have already coordinated
similar programs or have sug-
gestions for the improvement of

white blouse is a V-neck, shlrt-
walsted style. You have got that
well-pressed and well-priced
look. From a bird's-eye view or
a close-up. you are a pretty
smooth cookie.

Presuming that your clothes
are all your own. why not go
about your grooming with an
eye to honest smartness? Think
about your clothes before you
put them on. Be particular about
what you select. Take stock of
colors and don't make yourself
a walking rainbow. Keep your
colors down to three at a time.

Make your whole ensemble
harmonize In color and style. If
it's the sport dress you are wear-

You will be smarter and
smoother If you wear your
clothes according to plan. You
can make yourself like the girl
you would like to be if you just
take the time to be unanimous
with your wardrobe. Do not
clash with your personality
you can get that In-thc-groove,

Dr. Joan Gordan

The faculty members chosen
for this issue's Spotlight are Dr.
Joan Gordan and Dr. Nazir
Warsi,

Dr. Gordan was partially edu-
cated on Jackson College campus
in Jackson, Mississippi, She
completed her elementary and
high school training at Jackson
College Laboratory School, after
which she entered Jackson Col-
lege where she received the A,B.
degree in Social Science.

She received the M.A. degree
in Sociology at Columbia Uni-
versity and the Ph.D. degree
from the University of Penn-
sylvania.

Dr. Gordan enjoys writing
poetry. Her publications consist
of two poems In the National
AnthologT of Librarian anti
Teacher's Poetry. She has pub-
lished a workbook entitled.
"Practical Exercises in Psy-
chology for Students of Educa-
tion."

She is affiliated with several
professional organizations such
as the Georgia Teachers and
Education Association, American
Sociological Association, Ameri-
can Academy of Political and
Social Sciences, and many
others.

In the summer of 1928 Dr.
Gordan began her teaching
career in Social Science here at
Savannah State College and has
been a faithful member of the
instructional staff of the college
since that time. Presently she is
Professor of Social Science and
co-adviser of the Senior class.

Ilr. Nazir Warsi

Dr. Warsi, a native of India,
and Professor of Mathematics
at Savannah State College, re-
ceived his B.S. degree in Mathe-
matics and Physics from St.
Andrew's College, and the M.S.
and Ph.D, degrees from Gorakh-
bur University, India.

He is a member of the Ameri-

of American Mathematics So-
ciety,

His hobbles are studying re-
ligious theology, history and
playing badminton.

Dr. Warsi. a very highly re-
ligious person, gave his phi-
losophy of religion. He said, to
him, religion is a way of living
and does not mean a kind of
belief, and should reflect the
moral and spiritual aspects of
the person. A religion that falls
short of this is no religion. He
believes that more emphasis
should be put on moral and
spiritual thmgs.

When questioned of his im-
pression of the college he said
that the academic condition of
the school is very poor, and
needs improvement. He thinks
that the teachers and the stu-
dents should work to change the
standards of the college.

When asked if he enjoys work-
ing at Savannah State College,
he replied, "I enjoy working
everywhere."

Ask (I Student

By Walker Durham

The faculty-student relation-
ship at Savannah State College
Is very poor. What means do you
tlilnk could be employed to ob-
tain a better relationship?

Frclda Brcwton. SeniorPer-
haps informal conversations in
the center and just talking freely
with each other on the campus
would help to obtain a better
relationship. The president could
stress this In faculty meetings
and mention It when addressing
the students In assembly.

Addle Scott, Sophomore If
some of the Instructors were like
others, taking an Interest in the
students, SSC would be a better
place.

Angelen Sampson, Freshman
In order to have a better stu-
dent-faculty relationship, teach-
ers should try to understand the
views of the students on certain
Issues, and not make a con-
clusion before considering their
views,

Jacquelyn E. Mack, Freshman
The student - teacher relation
can be Improved If the "Imper-
sonal barriers" between them are
broken down. A personal class-
room relationship should be Its
replacement, thus enabling both
teachers and students to feel
less rigid so more can be ac-
complished.

Delores L. Chisholm, Senior
I think that the students should
question the teacher when he is
in doubt about anything. The
teacher would become more in-
terested In the student.

Albert Lewis, Senior Per-
haps if we respected the other
for what they are. that is, stu-
dents and teachers, a better re-
lationship would come about,

Should (;irls Be
Allowed ill the
Pool Room?

By Walker Durham

Since the pool room has been
opened on the corner, many
fellows arc spending lots of their
time there and many girls are
complaining about the time the
fellows spend there. Some girls
would like very much to accom-
pany them, but there is one
question in their path. Should
girls be allowed in the pool
room?

Leroy West It is perfectly
moral for a girl to go to the
pool room if this is the game
that she desires. However, a
specific time should be allotted
the girls, so they wouldn't go at
the same time the boys go.

Edward Stephens I don't
think girls should shoot pool be-
cause it lowers their character.

William Martin No. a girl
should not be allowed in the pool
room. There are certain perti-
nent qualities of ladyhood that
females are to uphold. A young
lady In the pool room is usually
ridiculed by society and her
lady-like qualities are exempted.

Michael Brown I think it is
perfectly all right for females
to shoot pool because it is a very
wholesome recreation that calls
for concentration which is a
good calisthenlc for the mind.
After all. should a gentleman
offer a lady a tipariUo?

The program, organized from
a suggestion of Mrs. Ella W.
Fisher. Professor of Physical
Education, is a solution for the
lack of rerreation here at the
college and will be beneficial to
the entire college family.

The participation in the same
activities daily can be eliminated
and replaced with new and in-
teresting ones that will make
the participants interesting to
others.

The program aims to provide
activities which students and the
faculty can participate in dur-
ing hours otlier than work and
to stimulate self - motivating
desires so that the individuals
will engage in activities volun-
tarily and receive a satisfying
experience.

Activities that will be included
in the program are physical ac-
tivities such as archery, bad-
minton, baseball, basketball.
modern, social and square danc-
ing, fencing, football, golf, gym-
nastics, hand polo, horseshoes.
Softball, table tennis, tennis,
volley ball, weight lifting. Swim-
ming will be included as soon as
the pool is completed, and there
are hopes for incuding roller
skating and bicycling, if the
equipment can be purchased.

Social activities are bridge,
checkers, chess, pinochle, and
whist clubs, hiking, camping,
fishing, and camera clubs.

Communicative activities are
discussion groups, including
great books discussion, best
sellers lists, current events and
political events; Modern langu-
age clubs (French. Spanish, Ger-
man and Russian) and Toast-
master and toastmistresses

The creative and aesthetic ac-
tivities are oil and water paint-
ing, sculputring. music, cooking,
arts and crafts, and outdoor
arena (amateur plays I.

Lef's Play

The Department of Health and
Physical Education is endeavor-
ing to have greater participation
by the student body in the sea-
sonal activities program. The
emphasis is on out-of-class
voluntary participation during
the school day.

All members have volunteered
to sponsor some phase of the
program during their free
periods on a twice-per-week
basis.

During the Fall and Winter
quarters groups met for weight-
lifting, gymnastics, elementary
tennis, whist, checkers, bridge,
and volleyball. Most of the stu-
dents who participated were
ma,tors in the field. However, it
should be emphasized that the
program is open to all students.

This Spring we are offering a
voluntary class in Creative
Dancing for both men and
women. The tennis program
should be greatly expanded with
tlie completion of the new courts
on or about May 15th, The
driving range is being used, but
only by a few students.

We sincerely hope that the
students will secure their tennis
rackets and golf clubs and avail
themselves of the opportunity to
participate in wholesome out-
door activities this quarter and
frequently in the future.

Although we mention the stu-
dents herein, we certainly do
not imply that the faculty group
is not welcome. We assume that
because of their positions of
leadership they will be instru-
mental in seeing that the pro-
gram is successful through and
by their participation, guidance,
and encouragement.

Maliltla Wiley disphi

The vision of the early found-
ers and organizers of home eco-
nomics envisioned a lasting and
useful scientific profession. A
profession which would be com-
prehensive and welt undeigircied
with the natural, physical and
biological sciences. These sci-
ences would be eniianccd and
amplified according to their
need and use in the times which
would be curi-cntly lived. The
root science disciplines of chem-
istry, physics and bacteriology
and physiology have served the
home economist well as the nild-
century ushered in new and ex-
citing experiences with unheard
of developments in electronic
cooking, innovations in new
foods, family living conveniences
and wearing apparel.

People who still think in terms
of the limited aspect of the pro-
fession as home economics edu-
cation are antiquated and they
are not aware of the implications
of the scientific and technologi-
cal age in which we live. The
extent of the employment for
the well-trained economist Is
boundless.

During the history of the
United States there has been a

nd ability or a good honieniakcr.

steady increase In the amount of
laundering, cleaning and dyeing
given to garments and house-
hold linens. As our Income has
risen the amount of washing
compounds and also the amount
of textiles whicli we own liave
Incfeased along wltli our stand-
ards of cleanliness.

Homo Economists with good
chemistry background to under-
stand the nature of detergents,
sydents, bleaclies, fabric soften-
ers, dry cleaning solvents may
find interesting and novel em-
ployment testing the cleaning
agents on fabrics, New employ-
ment vistas have opened with
testing laboratories to determine
tlie sales pitch for new fabrics.
Publications with home service
departments that continuously
advertise new consumer goods
with information relative to
shrinkage, color resistance and
wcarability of fabrics always
have an opening for Journalistic
minded home economists.

The age of technology is a
challenging period In which to
live and work. Home economists
have a noteworthy contribution
to make to the reality and func-
tioning of this period In history.

Good Economic students can be Root] chemists.

The students in Home Economics learn to be excellent hostesses.

PKFSIDENFS MESSAGE

Over 300 years ago, Sir Francis Bacon, Scientist-Philosopher,
said, "Knowledge Is power," Tociay. many years after his death,
the truism of this statement is readily apparent. In an age of
rockets, satellites, jets, space ships, and "Explorers," the only key
which will unlock the door to power Is knowledge. One may, by
aggressiveness, good contacts, or by Ksheer luck, find liimself on
the threshold to i)ower, but only ability will open the door; only
"know-how" will provide the tools which will enable one to obtain
and maintain power.

During your years of preparation at Savannah State College
you are in the process of obtaining knowledge. As you go from
class to class, from activity to activity, from challenge to challenge,
you are building a background of experiences which will equip you
with the skills needed for progressive living in the world of today
and tomorrow. When your college days are over, your graduation
will, indeed, be a commencement, for you will be forced to stand
Qlone. When you stand alone and face the world, only knowledge
will give you power, and only through power can you control your
destiny.

To those of you who will leave us this year by graduation, we
say to you, "Good Luck and Best Wishes" for the future. As you
go fortli, may you keep in mind tiiat the world will always see in
you. Savannah State College. Your success will be our success and
your failure will be our failure. We hope that you will always stay
in toucli with your Alma Mater. Our fervent prayer is that God
will bless you in all of your laudable undertakings.

THE RISING INCOMPETENCE

By Charles Smalls

Since America is respected as
the leading spokesman of de-
mocracy, it can easily be de-
bated whether or not America is
actually "a government of the
people, by the people, and for
the people" a free government,
so to speak. The mere fact that
America lias been more out-
spoken and active in trying to
develop this theory of democracy
than other countries, does not
necessarily mean that it is really
free; and that one should not be
concerned about his devlne and
constitutional rights and his
general well-being, because all
these are sale-guarded according
to the teachings of the Ameri-
can government. For one to take
on an attitude like this Is not
only perplexing, but it is also
illusive! One needs only to know
a little history and be well-
informed about the existing
situations in America today, in
order to know that there is a
rising incompetence in the
American government.

The incompetence lies in the
fact that America's teachings of
democracy is quite contrary to
that which is practiced. From
many angles these teachings
show a lax attitude on the part
of the government to be con-
cerned about who does what and
why and how it is done. There
is no better way to illustrate
this incompetence than in the
present leadership of Wallace of
Alabama, who has been labeled
"a moral evil"; Johnson of
Mississippi and the formidable
maneuvering of Russell, Tal-
madge, Stennis, Eastland, Thur-
mond, Johnston and other mem-
bers of the southern bloc con-
testing the civil rights bill in
the U. S, Senate. It is clear that
these people and people like

them are the ones responsible
for the rising incompetence.
Moreover, as long as these
hypocritical people have a hand
in shaping and molding Ameri-
can principles and beliefs, full
democracy can never exist as a
reality on the American scene!
Not only is democracy threat-
ened, but it may be very true
that incompetent people may
soon lead the U.S.A. in the po-
sition to become infiltrated and
destroyed by communism. The
possibility exists that this type
of infiltration is now taking
place in the United States at
the present time!

In spite of the respect that
foreign countries have for
America, a few of these countries
are skeptical of America's "so-
called" democratic facade. Per-
haps it would seem odd for
another country, especially an
ally of the U. S,. to test or to
challenge the position of Ameri-
ca regarding democracy, but it
is quite obvious when we think
of France raising the question;
How can America be a spokes-
man for democracy, when the
idea of segregation and second-
handed citizenship is painted in
glowing colors in American com-
munities?

It is not so very much a
matter of attacking the govern-
mental principles of this coun-
try and satirizing some of the
controversial officials, but when
negligence, incompetence, and
vice are transformed into reality
that is not good for our demo-
cratic system, effective metiiods
and steps to do away with this
type of cancer should be taken
There is no need for a war or
a revolution, but action must
be taken now'

A Dream, a Hope,
An End

By Gwendolyn Buchanan

The happiest yet saddest of all
college experiences is that last
week of school when the seniors
prepare for graduation. Leaving
behind a dear alma mater and
acquaintances may sadden many
seniors, but the reaching or the
accomplishing of an end that
has long been a dream or a hope
can make the saddest of the
seniors happy.

The time has come for seniors
lo .sever relations with Savannah
State College. Half with regret
and half with keen anticipation,
the seniors will walk through the
door for the last time at SSC,

The class of 1964 will leave be-
hind many memories of athletic
victories, scholastic achievement's
and other achievements. Beside
the victories and the achieve-
ments, the seniors have set goals
that perhaps the lower classmen
will strive to reach.

As tlieir dreams come true and
their ends are accomplished the
senior class now prepare to re-
linquish their positions to the
junior class. Although they bid
farewell, memories of them will
always linger behind at the in-
stitution that they were once a
part of.

Letters to the
Editor

Dear Miss Buchanan;

Congratulations on your ex-
cellent editorial, "Degraded Mor-
als," which appeared in the last
issue of The Tiger's Roar. I
found this editorial well written
and extremely thought-provok-
ing.

I certainly want to commend
you on the courageous stand
which you took. We need more
students like you, willing to
speak out against the unbecom-
ing behavior patterns which we
find prevalent in our college
communities today.

Because of your editorial. I
think that this is the finest issue
of The Tiger's Roar we have had
during this academic year.

Keep up the good work! Best
wishes.

Yours very truly.

Howard Jordan. Jr.

President

PROGRESS IS BUT A CHALLENGE,
WHAT IS EDUCATION;'

By Marvin Chatman
Many, many years ago it was solemnly declared by Plato that
the purpose of education was "to give to the body and the soul all
the perfection of which they were capable." However, today learn-
ing among us has come to be regarded too much as a means of
improving one's material comforts. We have put too much em-
phasis 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 worW Ex-President Elliot of Yale University.
said: "It is undeniable that the American democracy has thus
far failed to take proper account of the sense of beauty as a means
of happiness and to provide for the framing of that sense."

Today we consider popular culture as a sign of the times be-
cause people do want money and are willing to work and to specu-
late in order to acquire wealth. They crave entertainment and
throng moving picture shows and jazz palaces in the feverish
pursuit of such ideal pleasure, yet they can't spend 4 hours a day
in the feverish pursuit of knowledge. 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 result is physical and intellectual culture. As a people,
we should aim to cultivate the art-s 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, law-
yers, stenographers, doctors, salesmen, housewives, what shall we
gain from the studying of the arts in school? Well, no matter
what your sphere of life may be, you will need the following quali-
fications, and these, participation in dramatic activity may give
you

Poise The ability to enter a room and to remain in it
without feeling that your arms and legs are insecurely
fastened and that your clothes are wrong. This is a valu-
able asset in any walk of hfe.

2, Voice Training Everyone realizes the value of pleasant,
well-modulated voice.

3, Spirit of Cooperation Tlie 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 rela-
tion 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 char-
acter, motives, emotions, which is the foundation of all
acting. To put yourself into Juliet's place, to think her
thoughts, and understand Juliet on the stage is to under-
stand many Julietish qualities off stage.

Likewise, various other students at tliis college might give a
detailed account of the value and necessity of teaching tlie corre-
lated arts of music, dancing, language, and painting; but as each
supplants the other, we will generalize by saying that an appreci-
ation, a love and an understanding of the arts develops the indi-
vidual's taste for better things in life.

To strive to go adventuring along unknown paths at Savannah
State College; to seek to make real a dream at Savannah State
College: to find the meaning of that wondrously patterned thing
called life, these are tlie desires which will live in the heart of man
forever. Ages ago. many men and women felt its urge and went
forth pursuing a quality education, each to the institution of his
ideal.

And today, all over the world, and those in whom the vision
dwells at this our Savannah State College. I suggest you go forth
in like manner, giving to the quest the added joy of fellowship,
"There may be difficulties to surmount to make you strong, but if
you and I keep burning, clear and bright, our soul's fire, our faith
and hopes shall be undimmed."

An Open Letter to
The Student Body

My Dear Fellow Students,

Thanks very much for your
vote of confidence which was
evident by your overwhelming
support of me during our recent
election. As President of the Sa-
vannah State College Student
Council for 1964-65, I shall strive
diligently to make next school
year a successful and eventful
one. In order to accomplish this,
however, I will need your un-
wavering support, for any demo-
cratic government is as strong
as the collective strength of all
its citizens.

A Student Council is good for
one, only if it is good for all.
any of the things that you feel
free to consult with me about
any of thet things that you feel
are the needs of our college.

Remember that a strong gov-
ernment, a powerful motive, a
definite purpose, and a strict
discipline shall be our aim in
1964-65.

I trust that you will have a
pleasant and safe summer vaca-
tion and I shall look forward to
L-reeting you and working with
you in the fall,

Jimmy Stepherson,

President of Student
Council 1964-65

A WORD FROM IIH-: KDIIOIt

This issue of the paper com-
pletes my year of work as Editor-
in-Chief of the Tiger's Roar.
Wonderful experiences will not
let me forget this year.

Experiences that I probably
never would have had If I had
not served as Editor of the school
paper and I must say 1 learned
from each experience.

My first experience was that
of accepting a great responsi-
bility. That responsibility was to
publish an issue of the Tiger's
Roar once a month, keeping a
staff, plus keeping the readers
informed, entertained and
pleased.

I had a great experience at-
tending the Foreign Affairs Con-
ference in New York and Wash-
ington, where I had the oppor-
tunity to meet Important diplo-
mats, Secretary of State Dean
Rusk and to see and hoar the
President of the United States
speak at a White House recep-
tion. I had the opportunity to
attend the Columbia Scholastic
Press, at Columbia University
in New York and the opportunity
to serve as Student Director of
the Press Institute at Savannah
State College.

Memories of these experiences
shall always linger with me.

With any Job, individuals may
become depressed and I can truly
say that I've been depressed
trying to carry out the duties of
an editor. Many times I've
wanted to Just give up. feeling
that I couldn't do the job.
Thanks to the Tiger's Roar Staff
who helped to steer me out of
that depression.

Thanks to Elmer Thomas,
former editor 1962-63 of the
Tiger's Roar, who has helped a
great deal with the paper.

Thanks to the advisors and
others for their co-operation.

To the Editor of Tiger's Roar
and staffs for the 1964-65 school
term, I challenge you to publish
a better paper than those pub-
lished this year; I challenge you
to attend all press conferences
and to bring back a first place
award from the Columbia Press
Conference. I challenge you to
carry out your duties and
obligations, to do your best to
play your part well and to make
the Tiger's Roar 1964-65 one of
the best publications ever.

"Peace Caravan^''
For Vndergrads

Special to College and
University Publications

PHILADELPHIA A rare op-
portunity for undergraduate stu-
dents to carry their concerns
about world peace and social
justice to "Crossroads, U.S.A." is
offered by the Peace Caravan
program of the American Friends
Service Committee this summer,

A "peace caravan" consists of
an interracial group of four or
five young men and women who
visit by car a segment of the
country over a six weeks period.
Local committees prepare a wel-
come for the caravanners, and
also schedule meetings with local
government officials, civic, and
church groups.

The caravanners have an op-
portunity to discuss their ideas
and concerns about such things
as ultimate world survival, the
validity of nonviolence as a way
of life, and achieving peaceful
social change, They also have
the chance to learn what others
think and feel.

Five AFSC Peace Caravans are
scheduled: Oregon; Southern
California and Arizona; Ohio
and Indiana; Michigan and New
York, The only program expense
to the caravanners is fare to
Williams Bay, Wisconsin, on
June 28. where the young people
will have a week's special brief-
ing at the Midwest Summer In-
stitute of the AFSC. At the con-
clusion of the caravan they are
obligated to get back home on
their own.

Peace Caravans are open to
young persons with a minimum
of one year college or an accept-
able equivalent. Inasmuch as
the openings are limited by the
schedule and transportation ac-
commodations, speed in register-
ing is imperative for those in-

The students will be able to
study subject matter in modern

chemistry which is not generally
included in high school cur-
ricula. The students will follow
a course that will include in-
dividual projects, and experi-
ments emphasizing quantitative
measurements, It is anticipated
that with the utilization of
modern instruments the experi-
ments will be more intriguing.
Standardized tests in chemistry,
science and mathematics will be
administered at the beginning
and at the termination of the
program. The purpose of the
tests will be two-fold: (1) to
determine in what areas the
students are weak, and <2) to
measure their progress in the
course.

The school day will be from
8:30 a.m. -12 noon, and from
2:00 p,m,-4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday. The morning
sessions will be devoted to formal
lectures, problem sessions, film
presentations, and lectures by
guest speakers. The afternoon
sessions will be devoted to chem-
istry projects, laboratory and
local field trips. The educational
program will be supplemented by
a balanced recreational program.
The program's general objective
will be an effort to enrich the
student's knowledge of chemistry
and science in general.

Gives Speech at
Tuskegee Institute

On Friday, July 3. 1964, Presi-

speaker and special consultant
at the First Principals Confer-
ence at Tuskegee Institute. Ala-
bama, sponsored by the School
of Education at Tuskegee Insti-
tute and the International Paper
Company Foundation.

The purpose of this Confer-
ence was to explore in depth the
role of the principal in improv-
mg the quality of education in
the secondary schools of the
Southern Region.

Dr. Jordan addressed the Con-
ference at the 10:30 a.m. session.
His topic was "The Principal and
Instructional Leadership," In his
talk. Dr. Jordan emphasized that
the principal should be more
than a "glorified secretary,
money-changer, bus regulator,
disciplinarian, and boss," He
strongly indicated that the
principal must take the leader-
ship and be actively involved
meaningfully in the academic
process. The principal must be
concerned about initiating new
and challenging ideas relative to
curriculum development, and
should work always towards the
implementation of sound ad-
ministrative techniques and pro-
cedures. Dr. Jordan characterized
the area of instructional leader-
ship as a neglected area of edu-
cational administration.

Technical Shift

The shift m the economy of
Georgia from an agricultural
base to an industrial complex is
reflected in the 1964 summer
school program of the Division
of Technical Sciences under the
leadership of Dr. Clyde W. Hall.
This summer there are a num-
ber of former vocational agri-
culture teachers enrolled in
courses in industrial arts for the
purpose of changing their
certificates from vocational agri-
culture to industrial arts. Most
of these persons are well estab-
lished in their communities and
have been teaching vocational
agriculture for years, but their
agriculture programs are gradu-
ally being phased out. and indus-
trial arts courses are being intro-
duced

The State Department of Edu-
cation is attempting to make
industrial arts available to every
male student in Georgia at the
junior high school level. Funds
have been made available at the
state level for the past several
V-rars on a matching basis for
Ijcal school systems to buy
equipment for industrial arts
providing qualified industrial
arts teachers are available to
teach the subject. Some persons

10 Days Added
To School Year

The Georgia Teachers and
Education Association expressed
disbelief when it was informed
that the New Minimum Founda-
tion Law called for an additional
10 working days per year for
teach er-s.

"The additional working days
added to the 190 already in exist-
ence for teachers can only add
to the aggravation that is exist-
ing over the suggested 8-hour-
at-school work day," said Exec-
utive Secretary, H. E, Tate.

Dr. Tate stated that a commit-
tee appointed to study the 200
day school year has revealed
that teachers will actually make
less money during the 1964-65
school year than previously
thought. During the 1964-65
school year, all Georgia teach-
ers are supposed to receive an
increase in salary; however, a
close calculation reveals that not
only will there be no salary in-
crease under the proposed 200
day work year plan but Georgia
teachers, if required to work 200
days, will receive less pay per
day or per work year in 1964-65
than they received in 1963-64,

The Georgia teacher with 4
years teaching experience and
holding a 6 year certificate will
receive S.56 less per day or $112
less per year than was received
in 1963-64. One with 4 years
teaching experience holding a 5
year certificate will receive $.24
less per day or $48 less per year.
Likewise, a teacher holding a 4
year certificate with 4 years
teaching experience will receive
$,19 less per day or $38 less per
year than was received during
the 1963-64 school term if the
200 day work year is enforced.

Further calculations reveal
that teachers with 9 years ex-
perience and holding 6 year, 5
year and 4 year certificates will
receive $.54 less per day or $108
less per year. $.28 less per day
or $56 less per year, and $.80 less
per day or $160 less per year, re-
spectively, than was received
during the 1963-64 school year.

For the 15 year experienced
teacher with the 6 year certifi-
cate, the salary would be $.29
less per day or $58 less per year;
for the 15 year experienced
teachers with 5 year and 4 year
certificates, the salaries would
be $.02 less per day or $4 less
per year and $,14 less per day or
$28 less per year than was paid
dui'ing the 1963-64 school year.

At a previous meeting of the
Association, the members op-
posed a 200 day school year be-
cause of the following reasons:

1, The new program does not
extend the number of ac-
tual teaching days afforded
pupils; hence, pupils would
not directly benefit from an
extension of the present
school year.

2. Five pre-planning and five
post-planning school days
are considered quite ade-
quate and allow plenty of
time for teachers to com-
plete all records and re-
ports required of them,

3. Teachers are presently will-
ing to utilize afternoons,
evenings and Saturdays to
participate in in - service
programs that will keep
them informed on the new
trends in their specific
areas,

4, A 200 day school year will
make it quite cumbersome
for many local Boards of
Education that plan to keep
a record of its teachers who
will attend summer school
before the regular school
term is completed.

The Georgia Teachers and
Education Association hopes
that the State Board of Educa-
tion and the Legislature will
take the necessary steps to re-
peal that provision of the law
requiring teachers to spend an
additional 10 days to perform
school services that can be ade-
quately performed within the al-
ready existing 190 working days.

Increase Reported
In Junior Colleges

ATLANTA. Ga., July 12 Half
of the new institutions of higher
education in the United States
established in 1963 were two-
year colleges. The value and
growth of this relatively new
form of post high school educa-
tion are discussed in '"Financing
Higher Education No, 16 The
Community College," the latest
in a series of publications from
the Southern Regional Educa-
tion Board,

These booming two-year insti-
tutions, often called community-
junior colleges because their pro-
grams are keyed to community
needs, are broadening the edu-
cational horizons of today's
youth, the report states,

"Two years of college may soon
take the place of high school
graduation as the highest rung
in the education ladder available
to most Americans." the publi-
cation states.

Enrollment in public two-year
colleges in the South has grown
from 10 per cent to 15 per cent
of the total enrollment in state-
supported higher Institutions in
the past decade, the SREB re-
port continues.

Florida, one of the South's
leaders in this field of higher
education, is now enrolling over
50 per cent of its collegiates who
attend state -supported schools
in two-year colleges. Florida has
established 20 new community
colleges in the state since 1957.

A state-by-state breakdown of
the number of community col-
leges in each of the 16 Southern
states served by the SREB and
their enrollments is included.
Varying methods used by South-
ern states to finance this form
of higher education and major
sources of financial support are
also detailed.

The report stresses careful
state-wide and local planning of
community college systems,
based on community needs, ade-
quate financial support and pub-
lic interest.

Four schools reported top
starting salaries of $125 a week.
Only one school had a top sal-
ary under $100 a week.

The lowest starting salaries
accepted by graduates at these
schools ranged from $75 to $105
a week. Four schools had no
starting salaries under $100,

Three schools reported start-
ing salary offers under $70 a
week. All were rejected, the
deans said.

Another dean noted:

"Our people have so many job
offers that they hesitate to ac-
cept any until they can survey
the field."

The dean of a West Coast
school who reported a top salary
of $90 per week commented:

"Two seniors, both news ma-
jors, took public relations jobs
at $138 and $100 a week, respec-
tively. Our graduate students
have received salary offers for
public relations work ranging
from $6,500 to $9,000 a year. The
highest newspaper offer to any
graduate student was $6,000 a
year."

The schools in the survey ex-
pect to award 932 journalism de-
grees this year. About 53';r. in-
cluding 282 men and 211 women,
are trained to work as reporters
for newspapers and wire services.

More than 900 job opportuni-
ties were reported. At the April
30 survey date 199 seniors had
accepted positions.

Graduates to Work
As Reporters
This Summer

Journalism graduates will go
to work as newspaper reporters
this summer at starting salaries
up to 67o higher than last year,
according to a check at 22
schools,

Paul S, Swensson, executive
director of The Newspaper Fund.

says the average increase is al-
most double the 2,5';^ climb
which the College Placement
Council reports for technical
graduates, including those in en-
gineering, physics, chemistry
and mathematics.

Four of the 22 journalism
deans reported starting salary
increases of 6% or more, two had
a b-G% gain, seven were up 4-57J\
one had a gain of 3-4';f and five
1-2%. Three deans said salaries
were about the same as last year.

The highest starting salary
$128.50 a week was offered to a
senior at a southwestern univer-
sity.

Negro Youths
Realize Only 3%
Of Honors Funds

The following article appeared
as an editorial in the Spring Is-
sue of the Herald, the official
publication of the Georgia
Teachers and Education Associa-
tion. The article, an editorial
written by Dr. H, E, Tate, Execu-
tive Secretary of the Association,
points up the unfair practices
which still prevail toward a mi-
nority segment of Georgia's citi-
zenry.

Noting that Georgia will spend
$150,000 on the Governor's Hon-
ors Program which will be held
at Wesleyan College in Macon
this summer. Dr. Tate stated
that $144,500 will be spent on
white pupils while only $4,500
will be spent on Negro pupils.
He further pointed out that the
program will be totally financed
by public funds. It is indicated
in the article that Georgia's Ne-
gro school population is 307^. of
the total school population, while
the Negro participants in the
Governor's Honors Program rep-
resent 3'> of the total

While noting that the students
who were selected for the pro-
gram were selected objectively.
Dr. Tate feels that the selection
of only twelve Negroes implies
that there are only twelve such
students who can benefit from
a non-credit enrichment pro-
gram, an implication to which
he strongly objects.

The article also pointed out
that while Georgia's teaching
personnel is 30':^ Negro, no Ne-
gro teachers are employed in the
Governor's Honors Program.

arts courses this summer are
here to qualify for the equip-
ment aid program.

The Division of Technical
Sciences offered three courses
during the first six-weeks. June
7-July 17, designed to meet
certification requirements in in-
dustrial arts.

Although electronics is one of
the newer areas of industrial
arts, it is becoming possibly the
most demanding because of its
vast influence in our industrial
society. Savannah State College
is offering for the first time a
course in electronics geared to-
ward the needs of industrial arts
teachers. This course is being
taught by Mr. Charles Philson
and seventeen in-service teach-
ers are enrolled.

Power mechanics was intro-
duced at Savannah State College
in 1962. and has been a very
popular course since its in-
ception.

There are twelve in-service
teachers enrolled in this course
unaer the leadership of Mr.
Leroy Brown.

Architectural drafting has
been offered at Savannah State
College for many years, but
mostly as a course dealing with
the development of manual
drafting skills. The drafting
course offered this summer deals
with the planning of an archi-
tectural structure in terms of
function, circulation, orientation.
etc, as well as the development
>jf manual drafting skills. In-
dustrial arts students enrolled
in this course are being taught
how to design a one-family
living unit and make a model
and working drawings of same
under the direction of Dr. Clyde
W. Hall,

During the second session of
summer school, July 20-August
14, the program in the Division
of Technical Sciences will be
devoted almost entirely to the
upgrading of in-service trade
and industrial education teach-
res. The first three weeks will
be devoted to an electronic
workshop and a course entitled
"History of Vocational Educa-
tion," The Electronics Workshop
will be conducted by Mr. John
Bidmead of the Philco Corpora-
tion, Philadelphia, Pa., and is
the fourth such workshop spon-
sored by Savannah State College
in cooperation with the Georgia
Division of Vocational Educa-
tion, Lectures and laboratory
experiences this year will deal
with microwaves and synchro
systems using the Philco Tech-
Rep system and equipment.

The annual Trade and Indus-
trial Education Workshop will be
held on the campus from August
10-14 under the supervision of
Mr. A, Z. Traylor, State Trade
and Industrial Education Itiner-
ant Teacher Trainer, Vocational
trade teachers will be here from
all sections of Georgia as well
as representatives from the State
Department of Education.

13 Local Hiiih School
Students Attend Workshop

Thirteen high school students
from Savannah. Georgia, and
high school students from six
other states, are enrolled in the
Summer Science Training Pro-
gram for Secondary School Stu-
dents at Savannah State College.
These students are the recipients
of sciiolarshlps granted by the
National Science Foundation.
The workshop, which began on
June 15, and will end on August
7. is under the direction of the
Department of Chemistry.

The students will do regular
laboratory experiments two days
a week, and special projects
three days a week. Some of the
special projects will be con-
cerned with pharmaceutical
chemistry, and experiments
using various Instruments, such
as. the P o 1 a r o g r a p h, Gas
Chromatograph, Ultra Violet,
and Infra-red Spectrophoto-
meters.

The students will be given lec-
tures on some of the funda-
mentals of chemistry, such as,
valence, formulas, equation writ-
ing, systems of measurements,
and mathematics will be re-
viewed. An Introduction to
atomic structure, the modern
concept of the atom, introduc-
tion to quantum mechanics,
special lectures on atomic struc-
ture will be given. The periodic
system and atomic structure a
very intensive study of periodic
system and its relation to atomic
structure and the properties >f
the elements will be undertaken.

A guided tour of Industries in
Savannah will be conducted and
a fmal luncheon will be held at
which time certificates of at-
tendance win be given,

THE TIGER'S ROAR

July 17. 1964

Over 100 Enroll
111 i\1od 111 Math
Suiiiiiier Class

/<

By J. B. Cipmmon.s

Classes offered in both sec-
ondary and elementary Modern
Mathematics have not been suf-
ficient to accommodate all who
wished to enroll in them Even
after splitting the elementary
section, many had to be turned
away.

The enrollment is largely com-
posed of In-servlce teachers, whj
hold degrees, but feel the need
of reinforcing their knowledge
of mathematics with the NEW
APPROACH. Teachers have come
from Georgia, South Carolina,
and Florida to have this experi-
ence.

Included in the course out-
lines of these courses are: prop-
erties of out number systems.
mathematical logic, the number
line, sets and their properties,
number bases. Inequalities, Na-
pier's Bone Method of Multipli-
cation, and other topics empha-
sized by such programs as the
School Mathematics Study
Group, The Greater Cleveland
Program, the Maryland Pro-
gram, The Illinois and Georgia
Programs.

Ail of the programs mentioned
above grew out of the School
Matliematics Study Group Pro-
gram, and the recommendations
of the committee on Undergrad-
uate Programs in Mathematics.
The Savannah State courses
attempt to jirovlde experiences
which would acquaint the
teacher (or potential teacher)
with the knowledge and lan-
guage of the so-called. NEW
MATHEMATICS. For example,
the teacher fan use the set Idea
to emphasize common properties
such as common denominator.

The Universal Set helps stu-
dents to confine their discourse
to limits; here the Importance of
logic can be emphasized.
Through the set concept the
property of belonging or not be-
longing can b_' clearly focused.
The study uf number bases is
primarily to reinforce the con-
cept of place value and to help
one understand our present sys-
tem wlierein we have universally
accepted base ten without un-
derstanding its real structure.

The New Mathematics is not
new at ail; but instead it helps
one to classify the number sys-
tem and its properties. It places
special emphasis on whether
certain laws will hold under
given operations (the associa-
tive, commutative, and distribu-
ties laws, for example).

The idea of ordered pairs Is
another example of how closely
the new resembles the old. For
example, the sportscaster says
that a batter has a two-one
count on him. he simply means
that all sportscasters and others
connected with the game have
agreed to let the first member
of the pair represent the num-
ber of balls on the batter, and
likewise, that the second mem-
ber shall represent the number
of strikes accumulated. It is
demonstrated how a common
fraction can be represented as
an ordered pair; and how the
fundamental operations, would
be carried out if such were de-
sired. One advantage of using
this system in operating with
fractions would be the elimina-
tion of the fraction line, which
separates the numerator from
the denominator.

We believe that the modern
approach to mathematics facili-
tates, and at the same time.
helps both teacher and student
to get a better understanding
and a more logical approach to
the learning of mathematics.
Further, we believe that the uni-
versal language employed by the
NEW MATHEMATICS causes far
less difficulty of transfer as one
progresses in the area of mathe-
matics and the related sciences.

Action That's Physical Education

This summer the Physical
Education Department is filled
with vigor, vitality and en-
thusiasm. The tennis courts arc
open, golf is being played,
shuffle board tournaments are
being held, students are shoot-
ing archery, playing badminton
and participating in many other
activities.

The tennis courts are located
across from the athletic field.
There are four courts which wlit
accommodate sixteen persons at
a time. Mrs. Ella Fisher has
taken her gym classes to the
court and they are really having:
fun in learning the game. In the
evening Coach Richard Wash-
ington is on hand to give in-
structions to those who are just
learning the game.

Misses Theodosla Tharps and
Rose M. Patton (Physical Edu-
cation majors) are two of the
leading women tennis players.
Some of the outstanding men
players are William Rood, Joseph
Washington, Herschel Robinson.
Robert Patrick and J. Wright
Alexis.

The care of the tennis courts
is under the responsibility of
Herschel Robinso na physical
education major.

For several weeks Dr. Ray-
mond Hopson, Head of the
Physical Education Department,
has been giving golf lessons to
several physical education
majors along with a few other
interested persons. Dr. Hopson is
eager to see golf prosper on the
campus so if you would like to
become a golfer go and see Dr.
Hopson. he will gladly accept all
interested persons.

Arthur Scott along with the
following physical education ma-
jors have been taking golf from
Dr, Hopson: Oree Rawls, William
Rood, and Richard Anderson.

The women gym classes are
more exciting than ever before.
Everyone is shooting archery
and playing badminton, bui
most of all they are anxious to
see who will be shuffle board
champions. The game became
interesting suddenly because we
now have two shuffle board
courts that will accommodate
eight players at a time. The
game is simple and it doesn't
require any vigorous movements.

Some of the outstanding
shuffle board players are: Robbie
Williams. Ciemontine Freeman
(physical education major),
Earthel Grant, Rose M. Flowers.
Vivian Rogers. Georgia Cum-
mings, Harriet Hodfies (physical
education majori, Frances Jack-
son, Nettie B. Dantzler and
Eddie L. Edwards.

All women gym classes are
taught by Mrs, Ella W. Fisher,
Assistant Professor of Health,
Physical Education and Recrea-
tion.

Mrs, Fisher is especially happy
this quarter because of the in-
terest that two women physical
education majors are displaying
toward their field of endeavor.

Misses Harriet Hodges and
Ciemontine Freeman are in the
gymnasium and on the tennis
court daily participating in ac-
tivities that will keep them in
good physical condition and
make them well rounded
physical education instructors.

Are you educated or being
educated physically, mentally
spiritually, socially and not
physically? If so. you should
look to physical education. In
order to maintain the body's
physical condition every man,
woman and child should partici-
pate in some type of physical
activity throughout life.

Library Science
Summer Program
At Savannah State

During the current six-weeks
summer session at Savannah
State College, two courses in
Library Science are being of-
fered. These courses are Library
Science 402, Basic Reference
Sources and Library Science 302,
Cataloging and Classification.
E J, Josey. Librarian and As-
sociate Professor, is instructing
the course in Basic Reference
Sources and Mrs. Madeline
Dixon. Catalog Librarian and
Assistant Professor, is teaching
the course in Cataloging and
Classification.

Both of these courses are a
part of a four-course sequence
which leads to a Georgia State
Department of Education.
Teacher - Librarian Certificate.
The Cataloging and Classifica-
tion course is designed to pro-
vide knowledge of the funda-
mentals of cataloging and classi-
fication according to the Dewey
Decimal System, the use of
subject headings, and in general,
the principals underlying the
organization of school libraries.
The second course, Basic Refer-
ence Sources, consists of an
examination and discussion of
basic reference tools for the
cchool library, and a considera-
tion of the problems connected
with their use are explored.

Because of the explosion of
knowledge in all fields of en-
deavor, school libraries are be-
coming increasingly important
to the work of the school. School
libraries support the curricular
as well as the co-curricular pro-
gram of the school from the
elementary through high school.
With many school systems
adapting an accelerated program
in the areas of mathematics,
foreign languages and the
sciences, a wide range of library
materials must be available for
teachers and pupils.

In-service teachers enrolled in
the summer program possess a
wide variety of educational
backgrounds. Of the seventeen
in-service teachers enrolled in
the program, five hold graduate
degrees, three Master of Arts,
one Master of Education and
one Bachelor of Divinity. Most
of these persons will assume the
directorship of their school
libraries when they return to
their respective schools in fall
or whenever school library po-
sitions are available.

In-service teachers enrolled in
the six-weeks program include
Mrs, Lucille V Alston, Gadsden
School, Savannah; Miss
Geraldine Bell. J D. Dickerson
School. Vidalia; Mrs. Beatrice W.
Brown. Central High School.
Sylvania; Mrs. Mary Brown,

mon Green, Ida S. Lowrey High
School, Preston; Mrs. Marian F.
Hill, George W. S. DeRenne, Sa-
vannah; T. J. Jackson, Miami
School System, Miami; Mrs
Wilhelmenia B. Mack, Hardee-
ville, South Carolina; Mrs. Alease

11th International
Coseo Conference

LEIDEN, Tlie Netherlands. May
1 5 The North Americans will
leave early, stopping in Tahiti
to enjoy a few days of South
Pacific sunshine, some East Af-
ricans may go via Mauritius or
even the Coco Islands, and the
Latin Americans could get there
faster by flying across the ice
caps of Antarctica. All roads will
lead to New Zealand next June
when student leaders from every
continent will gather there for
the 11th International Student
Conference, a bi-annual gather-
ing of National student bodies
from all over the world. The
Conference will take place at the
University of Canterbury in
Christchurch, New Zealand, from
June 22 to July 1. 1964

National Unions of Students
from 55 countries who partici-
pated hi the 1962 Conference in
Canada and a number of new
Unions from many other coun-
tries are expected to attend
again this year. They will come
to assess the development of stu-
dent cooperation in the last two
years and develop a dynamic
programme of student partici-
pation in the life and work of
their universities, their national
societies and the international
community. The peaceful setting
of the New Zealand University
town of Christchurch will pro-
vide an ideal atmosphere for the
evaluation of past accomplish-
ments, the establishment of an
ever more meaningful pro-
gramme to meet the varied
needs of students.

A Free University in a Free
Society

"A Free University in a Free
Society," the theme chosen for
the 11th ISC, affirms the basic
creed of the National Unions of
Students participating in the
Conference; it summarizes the
universal principles of co-opera-
tion adopted at previous ISC's.
A university free from external
interference; autonomous in its
task of imparting knowledge,
wisdom and truth to the soci-
ety; democratic in character;
open to all sectors of the society
and oriented towards the devel-
opment of the society of which
it is an integral part; such are
the objectives of students as
members of the university com-
munity in the view of National
Unions of Students throughout
the world. The free university is
not isolated and remote from
the labors of society; it is de-
voted to the development and
progress of the national and in-
ternational community. Its
members, faculty and students
alike, are devoted to the service
of society.

SUMMER AKI PROGRAM

The art program at Savannah
State College under the direc-
tion of Mr, P, J, Hampton is ex-
periencing a dynamic pattern of
growth during the current sum-
mer quarter Already, most of
the student,s have indicated that
they are appLOachIng maximum
momentum in their work.

The art courses now in prog-
ress are Humanities 131, Intro-
duction to Music and Art; Art
323. Painting; Art Education 401,
Public School Art: Art 438-9,
Ceramics: Art Education 402,
Advanced Public School Art.
More than 100 students are en-
rolled in the above courses.

The students in Humanities
131 are seeking solutions to some
of the problems in architecture.
painting and sculpture. In ad-
dition to reading assignments,
discussions, color slide and film-
strip viewing, each student is
creating an individual painting,
scultpure or architectural model.
The class is. for the most part,
investigating an hypothesis that
the initial germ of all creativity
lies somewhere in the creative
arts. The class often becomes
Involved in heated, non-sched-
uled discussions for which there
probably are no answers. Often,
leading these discussions are
Burnell Mitchell, Gertrude Win-
ston, Emerson Wheeler, Marva
DeLoacii and Joyce Bryant, How-
ever, there are times when all
twenty-two members seem to be
expressing their views at once.

Hampton's painting class. Art
323. has taken on a special proj-
ect for themselves, namely, that
of creatively interpreting the
campus and community In paint.
Paintings selected from this
group will be circulated through-
out the country beginning this
fall. This Is a joint project of
the public relations and arts.

Some of the persons in this
class are Clara Rhaney of Sa-
vannah and Arnethia Bostic,
Both students are education ma-
jors, Bostic is working with oil
on a panel with burlrip strips
glued on. Rhaney is a recent
recipient of two prizes, to-wlt:

The Fourth Annual Coastal Em-
pire Award for a charcoal draw-
ing, and the Friedman's Art
Store Award for outstanding
contributions to the art depart-
ment and community, Rosa L.
Brown, art teacher at Sol C.
Jolinson High School, has set the
pace for the painting class.
Within a lew days Mrs. Brown
has completed an exciting land-
scape of the marsh which is be-
hind the campus. Her painting
was done in oil on canvas,

Margaret Hammersham Ow-
ens is keeping abreast of Mrs.
Brown, particularly with her oil
on panel a "multi-colored Can-
non." This is a version of the
black cannon and "guards" the
campus entrance.

Barbara Troup, who was also
a winner in the Coastal Empire
exhibit, is presently enrolled in
Advanced Public School Art. She
was assigned a special problem
in painting. Her Immediate con-
cern is how painting can be
taught best to a child and what
techniques can be taught to a
specific age level.

The entire Advanced Public
School Art Class is examining
the problems of creativity. Each
student is exploring the possi-
bility of creating a new project
that can be taught successfully
in the public schools. A com-
plete report of these findings
will be compiled for evaluation
at the end of the quarter

Other members of the Ad-
vanced Public School Art Class
are similarly engaged, George
Boatwright is exploring the qual-
ities of carving in various
woods; he is presently working
on a gigantic pine log; Mary
Patterson has an Idea she is try-
ing to put together; she Is work-
ing with wire combined with pa-
per and plastics as an art ex-
perience for a ten-year-old.

Ann J, Clements has finished
one mosaic using glass tesserae.
She is now experimenting with
other kinds of tesserae. Mattie
Dennis. Emma Murray, Angelyn
Russel and Richard Brockington
are other students who have

ects in the making.

The Ceramics classes under
the direction of Mrs. Farnese
Lumpkin are elbow deep in mud.
Some of the students are work-
ing on potters wheels. Jessie
Scott and Mary Ann Brown, art
education majors, are turning
out very graceful pots. Harriet
Robinson was last seen shaping
a fancy bowl out of stoneware.
She expects to fire her bowl at
a temperature of 2381 degrees
fahrenheit. Firing clay is a
process which usually requires
two days to complete. It is nec-
essary to fire each piece more
than once in one of the art de-
partment's four kilns

The art department is expect-
ing a vast Increase in quantity
and quality for the fall quarter.
Explicitly, a sizable number of
art majors are expected to en-
roll. The department is particu-
larly thankful to Mrs, Virginia
Kiah, director of the National
Conference of Artist scholarship
committee, for directing young
artists to Savannah State.

Moreover, the department is
constantly Improving the quality
of its equipment, A current ex-
ample is that It recently ac-
quired an $1800,00 lithographic
press and related equipment. It
is expected that this rare piece
of machinery will enrich the
prlntmaking program.

The department will, as al-
ways, be pleased to receive visi-
tors. Student work is constantly
on display, for the benefit of the
public. Outstanding professional
exhibits and visiting personali-
ties are expected to punctuate
the art activities program for
the ensuing school year. The
pubUc is invited to participate.

SUMMERTIME and if the livin' isn't really easy it'll look that
way. in the coloi-fiil. easy-care sportswear that's going to liven up
the Summer scene! Let's take a look at it.

T"^

BRIGHTEN THE CORNER where you are
in one of the new "Three-Alarm Blazers."
They're just what they sound like a
bright new breed of blazer to supplement
your traditional navy or black one. This
summer, they're comfortably cool most
of them in lightweight basket-weaves.
And as for color well, look for them in
camel, or in a whole range of reds from
brilliant to burgundy, or in bottle-green.
Linings are brighter, too from solids to
stripes to sporting motifs. Even the blazer
button brightens, with brilliant enamel
buttons to choose from, as well as metal
with insignia or cre>t.'^.

FOR COMPLETE COVERAGE mthesport

jacket department, consider strong pat-
tern and definite texture. Deep, glowing
Madras plaids look new this year against
a paler, softer background. In seersuckers,
stripes are getting bolder some as wide
as ^s" and brighter: add red and white
to the more usual black, gray, tan and blue
stripes on white. Something new in seer-
sucker is the midti-coior piaid, in combi-
nations like gray, red, and white; or blue,
gray and white. The look of linen is im-
portant either pure linen, or a blend of
polyester and flax fibers. This niibby,
slubby fabric is a real smasher in the
natural tan shades!

SUMMER'S A SLACKS SEASON, with the emphasis on plain,
pleatless waistband styling, tapered legs and cuffs. Lightweight
blends of polyester and wool hold their shape and stay cool and
comfortable at the same time. In addition to your basic wardrobe
of dark slacks, you might move up into the intermediate shades
lighter grays, clay blues and the like. For your lighter moments,
consider twill weave slacks in light, natural tan and off-white
shades these in cotton blended with polyester for shape retention.

THEY'RE CLOSING THE GAP between

dress and woven spurt shirts these days
you can hardly tell 'em apart without a
program! But bold and bright as dress
shirts are. the sporting type is even
brighter! Styled with your favorite, but-
ton-down collar and long sleeves, there's a
wide range of blazer stripes and big
checks to choose from all in wild colors.
And Madras plaids are just as strong as
they ever were! Any of these shirts in
thin cottons will keep you cool in the worst
0^ boat waves as will the traditional cot-
ton knit mesh pullovers.

IT'S A SHORTS LIFE and a merry one.
for Summer ! There's lots of color and
style available in walk shorts so why not
give the old heave-ho to those ragged jobs
you hacked up yourself with an old pair of
pants and scissors? Instead, look for prop-
erly tailored striped shorts . . , or Madras
plaids ... or just plain solids to blend or
contrast with your sport jackets and
shirts,

MAKE THE POOL-SIDE SCENE-or the beach, for that matter-
in tank trunks or surfers. The (irst are quick-drying briefs in rib-
knit nylon for serious swimmers. Surfers for no less serious
searchers of the deep are longer, laced up the back, and have
matching waistband and leg band. After the crawl, cover every-
thing with a sport shirt or parka-type jacket perhaps lined with
terry cloth.

And that winds up this year's fashion round-up. Stay loose we'll
see you next fall!

any success gained thus far to
the excellent training and in-
struction received at Savannah
State." He further stated: "The
school is doing an excellent job
of producing qualified graduates
despite the disadvantages im-
posed by the prevailing social
system."

educator stated that the 4-H
Club work Is a great movement.
"It is one of the most unique
educational programs of our
time. It Is voluntary. It digni-

can be applied to cooking, and
creative Intelligence to tilling

Give JJs Something For Our $$$

By Elmer Thomas

We propose that the college provide more entertainment for
the student body with the better than $30,000 that is collected
during the academic year In the form of student activity fees.

We understand that the school provides an athletic program,
publishes a student newspaper, and occasionally sponsors a record
hop or something of that sort. At other Institutions, famous musi-
cians, singers, and other entertainers appear quite often at con-
certs and dances.

Perhaps this issue was never raised at a Student Council
meeting, and if not, we strongly urge the Council members and
officers to give serious thought to this matter.

Administrative officers at the college may offer the excuse that
tlic athletic program takes a big bite into activity funds, and there
is not enough left to Improve the situation. This may be true, but
we maintain that an ATHLETIC PROGRAM SHOULD BE .SELF-
SUSTAINING AND ANY ATHLETIC PROGRAM WORTH HAVING
WOULD BE SELF-SUSTAINING. People in Savannah will support
good football and basketball teams. If nothing else. We hope that
the College Fathers realize this and begin taking immediate steps
to capitalize on the opportunities tliat would be offered.

Fielding a good football team at Savannah State would defi-
nitely be PROFITABLE. This revenue could very well be used in
other areas of the college program.

Perhaps next year a well-rounded program of varied activities
will be provided for the student body in contrast to past years.

Worksliop in
Journalism E^nds

On Leadership and Morality

By Louis Hill Pratt

This generation of Americans has witnessed a momentous up-
surge of advancement in automation and technology. The primary
results of this progress have been twofold a gradual decline in
the market for unskilled labor and a constant increase in the
demands which are placed upon our institutions of higher learning.
In turn, these conditions have triggered a deep concern in the
ranks of educators, government officials, and captains of industry.
Irrespective of these divergent areas of endeavor, an element of
agreement exists on the central points of the problem: that our
secondary school administrators must be aware of the perpetual
need for quality, dedicated instructors who are capable of pro-
moting assiduously a coordinated curriculum designed to prepare
youth for responsibility in this era of unparaUelled scientific
development.

If then, these teachers hold an uncontested position of leader-
ship, what are the qualities which we seek in those on whom this
obligation has been thrust? Certainly academic preparation and
attainment arc of primary concern but another aspect of this
question necessarily must lie in the preservation of lofty standards
of ethical character.

Psychologists have long since recognized that humanity is
engaged in a continuous process of learning. Therefore, we should
look beyond the formal instruction of the classroom in evaluating
the competent educator. Consideration must be given to the scope
of influence which is exerted on the lives of the students who
happen to be a part of the learning cycle. The analysis must be
extended to include all areas of human activity in which these
individuals are involved.

We submit, consequently, that proficiency, achievement, and
morality are indispensable criteria if we are to appraise effectively
those who instruct, guide, and challenge the youth of today in
their struggle to acquire and maintain dignity of character, keen-
ness of intellect, and devotion to the pursuit of excellence.

Dr. Williams, Mr. Scott. Mrs.
Milledge, Teachers and Guests:

You teai hers have been briefly
exposed to one important part
of the broad field of journalism
the teaching end of journal-
ism during this two week
workshop. You have been told
that journalism is a broad, chal-
lenging, remunerative, socially
useful and personally satisfying
career which demands of its
practioneers liigh professional
standards and adherence to a
code of ethics.

Rapid strides have been made
in America in upgrading profes-
sional standards of journalism.
The Hollywood stereotype of the
trained specialist. Tlie days
when a man broke into the
newspaper business as a cub re-
porter, who drank his whiskey
strong and clear and went
through the school of hard
knocks, are no more. Today, it
is virtually impossible to get a
job on a reputable newspaper
without a college degree and
specialized training.

Journalism courses are part of
the curriculums of most liberal
arts colleges today, and many
colleges and universities offer
journalism degrees. Journalism
is such a broad field that the
journalism degree is usually
broken down into majors in va-
rious specialties newspapers,
magazines, trade journals, radio,
television, advertising, photog-
raphy, public relations, and lit-
erary writing (books, poetry,
movies, plays).

The person seriously consider-
ing entering journalism should

know that, like other fields of
creative endeavor, competition
is keen, the rewards may be
high, the knocks may be many
and hard, the falls may be great.

Anyone entering this broad
and challenging field should not
only be a specialist in some par-
ticular phase of journalism; he
also should be BROADLY EDU-
CATED IN THE LIBERAL ARTS,
Most of all. he should have a
genuine likeness for people. He
should possess an abundance of
interest and enthusiasm for his
work. In preparing for a jour-
nalistic career, he must learn to
be both a perfectionist and real-
ist, an artist as well as prac-
tioneer. His i or her i interest
and enthusiasm must be geared
to a high level. He will learn
that ability is secondary to in-
terest and enthusiasm, that
ability or talent can be devel-
oped. Today, unlike the jour-
nalism of yesteryear, ability
must be, developed BEFORE a
journalist can qualify himself
for employment.

A few opportunities exist to-
day for qualified Negro journal-
ists; in most cases, there are no
qualified Negroes to take advan-
tage of these opportunities. Un-
doubtedly, more opportunities
will exist in the future for quali-
fied Negroes to obtain jobs in
all phases of journalism.

You as faculty advisers for
your young journalists on the
high school newspaper and year-
book, can encourage their en-
thusiasm, spark their interest,
keep their creative eyes imagina-
tive and alive. Who knows? You

Kenneth Johnson, Managing
Editor of Savannah Morning
News, delivered a challenging
talk at the closing session ot
workshop in journalism spon-
sored at Savannah State College
through a Newspaper Fund
Grant from the Wall Street
Journal.

An address by Kenneth John-
son, managing editor of the Sa-

vannah Morning News, and the

awarding of certificates of com-
pletion, culminated the work-
shop in journalism at Savannah
State College, Friday, July 31.
1964.

The participants in the work-
.-hop were in-service teachers
serving as advisers to school
publications.

Mr. Johnson discussed the im-
portance of the free and honest
press in relation to teachers, pu-
pils, and society. "It is vital
that students understand the
importance and the role of a
free press." stated Mr. Johnson.

The following were awarded

may now be teaching another
Margaret Mitchell, another

And if you are. wouldn't it give
you satisfaction to look back
later in your golden years and
say, pridefully; "I iielped him
(or her) get a start on the high
school newspaper (or yearbook)."
I have enjoyed working with
you during this workshop. Your
interest and enthusiasm have, I
believe, made this workshop suc-
cessful. You will take back to
your schools and keep alive some
of the ideas we have explored
and some of the journalistic fun-
damentals we have learned. I
ciiallenge you to keep you and
your students' interest and en-
thusiasm alive develop your
and their abilities, too, but re-
member that ability is always
secondary to interest and enthu-
siasm in creative endeavors. You
may enjoy tne pleasure OF KIN-
DLING the magic sparks in
some young, would-be journal-
ist's beaming, dreaming eyes.

SSCi/Faces an
Era of Expansion

In a recent interview with Dr.
Howard Jordan, Jr., President of
Savannah State College, he an-
nounced that rapid progress is
being made at the College in
developing a building program
which will provide additional
modern facilities for the prose-
cution of a sound and well-
rounded, educational program
for all of our students. The
Board of Regents of the Univer-
sity System has authorized the
following additions to the piiysi-
cal plant at the College at a cost
of approximately 2\-^ million
dollars:

1. A dormitory, just com-
pleted, to house 100 women stu-
dents, will be ready for occu-
pancy in September, 1964. This
two-story brick building was
constructed at a cost of approxi-
mately $335,000. It includes
grooming rooms for beauty cul-
ture, a snack kitchen, a laun-
drette, and a combination room
for lounging, reception and rec-
reation. Two young ladies will
be housed to a room.

2. Another dormitory for 180
young women at a cost of ap-
proximately $520,000 will be con-
structed on Taylor Road, south
of Powell Hall and west of the
new dormitory for women re-
cently completed; it is planned
for occupancy in September,
1965. Construction will begin
during the month of August.

3. A two-story, air-conditioned
class room building at a cost of
approximately $500,000 is in the
final stages of planning, and
will be built on Taylor Road,
south of the Technical Sciences
Building across the street froni
Powell Hall. This plant will con-
sist of 15 classrooms, data
processing facilities, a language
laboratory, a reading clinic, and
an administration area with of-
fice space for 33 instructors.

^ '4. A four-unit. :il! wi ai:lj<"r,
lighted tennis court adjiiceat to
the athletic field has been com-
pleted at a cost of $13,000 and
is now in use,

5. A $400,000 annex to Wiley
''Gymnasium. This new physical

education facility will consist of
a swimming poo!, classrooms,
and additional spectator seating
for indoor sports.

6. Autiiorization has been re-
ceived for a Music and Fine Arts
Building at an approximate cost
of $500,000. which will include a
Little Theatre for dramatics.

7. Another dormitory to house
180 male students is to be con-
structed at a cost of approxi-
mately $600,000 on the corner of
Taylor Road and Falligant Ave-
nue.

The above listed facilities
along with the facilities already
available at Savannah State
College will provide the students
and faculty with a desirable en-
vironment for greater learning
activities.

Savannah State College is ded-
icated to the development of
thorough and sound programs
which will prepare its graduates
to meet the needs of the com-
petitive age in which we live,
and which we face in the future.

The College now includes six
divisions and 14 departments
which give students a wide va-
riety of courses from which to
select. The major divisions are
Business Administration, Educa-
tion. Humanities, Natural Sci-
ences, Social Sciences, and Tech-
nical Sciences. Through the of-
ferings of these divisions, stu-
dents may prepare for varied
careers in the areas of art, mod-
ern foreign languages, English
and Literature, Biology, chemis-
try, mathematics and physics,
physical education, home eco-
nomics, music, history, econom-
ics, sociology, political science,
engineering technology, and in-
dustrial education.

Newspaper Guild
Direelor Speaks at
(College Assembly

On Thursday. July 23. Mr.
Richard P. Davis, Associate Di-
ii.ctor of Research and Informa-
tiun. American Newspaper Guild.
Washington. D, C, was the guest
speaker for the All-College As-
sembly in Meldrim Auditorium.
The assembly program was spon-
sored by the members of the
workshop in Journalism. The
workshop was sponsored by a
grant from the Newspaper Fund,
Inc., of the Wall Street Journal.
Additional scholarships were re-
ceived from the R. C, Cola
Bottling Company.

Mr. Davis said. "Last summer
it was decided that the Guild
would publish a pamphlet on
human rights. It took most of
the following year to produce
that pamphlet, but I do think
that we have produced some-
thing which will have concrete
value."

"Before putting out this
pamphlet, the Guild undertook
an extensive study ol the news-
paper industry's employment
situation. This included a ques-
tionnaire sent to each of our
locals, correspondence with
various civil rights organiza-
tions, talks with many of them,
and particularly, correspondence
with Negroes who are already
employed in the newspaper in-
dustry."

We could find the names of
less than 50 Negroes employed
as reporters, copy editors,
editors, or photographers on
metropolitan daily newspapers
in the United States. We know
that there are more the best
estimates we can obtain put this
figure at close to 100, This is
out of a total employment in
those jobs estimated by the
Bureau of Census at 50,000.

"Our estimates indicate that
it is even harder to find Negroes
employed as advertising sales-
men. Newspaper business office
employment appears to be lop-
sidedly discriminatory as is
< ciitorial."

"Another factor involved is the
attitude of publishers toward the
word 'qualified.' They tend to
give one meaning to the word
for whites, and another for
Negroes."

In offering a solution to the
problems previously mentioned,
Mr. Davis said. "The Guild waves
no magic wand. But there are a
number of things it could do.
One thing it has been attempt-
ing is to take a vigorous public
position in favor of equal em-
ployment opportunity- Through
its collective bargaining pro-
cedures it can put a certain
amount of pressure on the pub-
lishers and when Negroes are
actually hired, it can force to
ease the way for them should
any problems arise-
Something else the Guild can
do and is trying to do is to
attempt to line up persons who
want newspaper jobs with news-
papers who want to hire Negroes.
Just as we are not a hiring hail,
we are not an employment
agency. We cannot recommend
candidates for jobs. But we can
learn something about the ex-
perience of people who want
jobs, and can try to line up jobs
when possible.

In closing. Mr. Davis said to
the 28 in-service teachers en-
rolled in the workshop, "There is
something you can do. too. And
that is, to encourage talented
pupils to think in terms of going
into newspaper work. If there is
one idea I would like to leave
with you, it is that you should
persuade them that newspaper
work is exacting and demanding,
and that it requires preparation.
But for those who are well pre-
pared, it is a most rewarding
activity and I am not speaking
of money, but of psychological
rewards. You can really be of
help."

In-Serviee Trade
And Industrial
Eduealion

The Division of Technical
Sciences, under the capable
auspices of Dr. Clyde W. Hall,
has in progress an Electronic
Workshop dealing with micro-
waves. Mr. Benjamin King of
the Electronic Institute, Philco
Institute of Technology, Phila-
delphia, Pennsylvania, whose
major areas of concentration are
solid state electronic and radio
nilcrowaves, is the principal in-
structor. The workshop is of
three weeks duration July 20-
August 7.

Mr. Lesley B. McLemore,
Special Representative of the
Philco Company, Washington,
D. C, serves as consultant to the
workshop and Mr. Charles Phil-
son. Electronics Technology In-
structor, is the college repre-
sentative.

Savannah State College is con-
ducting the Electronic Workshop
in cooperation with the Georgia
Division of Vocational Educa-
tion. State Department of Edu-
cation. Atlanta, Georgia.

In attendance are in-service
personnel from Monroe Area
Vocational and Technical School,
Albany, Georgia; Muscogee Area

planations this Is what the fu-
ture demands. This is why less
than first-rate is unacceptable."

The college president made a
special appeal to students. "To
you who are students, I must re-
mind you that in our age this
age that may be characterized
as the 'Age of Atomic Energy'
and super-scientific research
no young man or young woman
can hope to succeed in any voca-
tion unless he or she is thor-
oughly trained for it. This train-
ing must be quality training.
The day has passed for un-
trained ability to get by on mere
luck. We live in a highly com-
petitive society today, and if we
are to be successful, we must be
trained to produce the goods on
the very highest level possible."

In concluding his motivating
talk. Dr. Jordan reminded his
listeners that the future of all
they hold most dear is in their
hands. "Educated manpower is
more than ever our most pre-
cious natural resource. Not only
in terms of crucial struggle for
survival, but also in the nobler
terms of achieving man's an-
cient yearning for peace and
good will."

The Leadership Conference
opened yesterday and will end
Friday night. Walter Johnson of
Morgan County is State Presi-
dent. Advisors are Helen Wool-

This quotation may be aptly
applied to the work that the

the workshop such as this one,
are evidences of dynamic action,

This workshop is the first here
at Savannah State College. We,
the workshoppers, hope that this
wilt not be the last. We hope
that many others will be given
an opportunity to work at pro-
ducing better newspapers and
yearbooks so that the many
lives that we touch daily in the
classrooms, may be made more
aware of the opportunities open-

These students were selected
for participation in an advance

Wednesday, August 5, the high
school students participating in
the Summer Science Training
Program exhibited their projects
which resulted from experi-
mentation during laboratory
periods.

The exhibit was open to the
general public and was an im-
portant phase of the culminat-
ing activities of the Summer
Science Training Program,

During the exhibition hours.
Dr. Charles Pratt, Chairman, De-
partment of Chemistry and Di-
rector of the Summer Science
Program for High School Stu-
dents, and several of the high
school students were inter-
viewed:

Dr. Pratt states that the ex-
pended efforts in this venture
of the summer science training
program have proven to be
fruitful and he is satisfied with
the results- He further stated
that the Chemistry Department
will request another Summer
Science Training Program for
High Ability High School Stu-
dents with limited background
that is sponsored by the National
Science Foundation.

Dr. Pratt is of the opinion that
the program this summer was
successful.

Here is how the high school
students responded to the inter-
view:

Linda C, L. Nails, senior,
Tattnall County Industrial High
School, Reidsville, Georgia "I
enjoyed the experiences here at
Savannah State College in the
summer science training pro-
gram; however, it has been a
lot of work. I feel, though, that
anything worth having is worth
working for. My experiences in
chemistry were great and the
general values derived were of
great benefit. I have actually
learned how to study my study
habits have improved. I think
the entire summer science train-
ing program is very good."

Ronald M- Rivers, who pre-
sented an interesting and ex-
cellent project on "'Synthetic
Polymers" is a senior student,
Alfred E. Beach High School.
Savannah, Georgia, expressed
his views.

"Generally. I think the pro-
gram is very good, it was of
great benefit to me and I feel
the other students were equally
benefited. Such a program helps
a student discover his interest
in the area of science. I feel
definite that my major studies
will be chemistry and mathe-
matics. The field trips helped
us to see the practical applica-
tion of chemistry, for example
the trip to Southern Nitrogen
Plant, Savannah provided ob-
servation of the uses of nitrogen

and the Savannah River Atomic
Energy Plant was an experience
wherein we could see the uses
of radioactive elements. The
theory phase of the course
broadened our knowledge of
science, I hope to attend another
science training program."

John Earl Lang. Savannah,
and a June. 1964 graduate of
Alfred E. Beach High School had
this to say: "I plan to enroll in
Savannah State in the fall,
September. 1964 and major in
chemistry. This is how I was
impressed. My decision to major
in chemistry has been strength-
ened and I have greatly bene-
fitted from my summer experi-
ences chemically. I am better
prepared for college work. I
know, and I have definitely been
in a science atmosphere during
the past eight weeks. One of
the fine points of the science
program was the general and
informal discussions among par-
ticipants during laboratory
periods. You will be amazed how
much was learned this way."

Shelia Clemmons, Junior year
student at St. Pius X, Savannah,
felt this way: "I think the sum-
mer science training program
was very eventful and interest-
ing, it was a challenge and
should be offered here again and
the program should be ex-
panded. I feel that such a pro-
gram should be conducted
throughout the United States. I
know now that I shall study
math and chemistry after gradu-
ating from high school."

Nedro Mlllicent Huggins of
Nashville, Tennessee, who Is cur-
rently a senior student at Alfred
E, Beach High School, Savan-
nah, states: "I feel that my ex-
periences were quite rewarding
and that the program should
be continued each summer. It
gives students the opportunity
to develop a better background
for chemistry. The program per-
sonnel did a sufficient job In
teaching and I feel we all have
been benefited socially and
academically. Most high school
students need this experience,"
"It has been an enjoyable ex-
perience and the program was
more concentrated and extensive
than high school courses. I feel
that the program should con-
tinue; however, the work was
hard but good." says Jenefer
Loretta Clark of the Evans
County High School, Claxton,
Georgia,

Barbara Bryant, a June, 1964
graduate of Alfred E. Beach
High School, Savannah, states
that she will attend Savannah
State in September, 1964 and the
experiences this summer were
helpful in deciding a school and
a major area of study to pursue.
"I found the summer science
training program very Interest-
ing and enjoyable; it was a new
experience for me. and I have
learned a lot. It was definitely
a challenge, and I am more
equipped to major in chemistry,"
said Sheila Mobley, a senior year
student at Alfred E, Beach High
School, Savannah, She further
stated that "the lecture classes
were excellent, and the labora-
tory periods provided ample time
for experiments. I definitely feel
that the program should be
continued. It was a great ex-
perience."

William Fuller, senior year
student. Alfred E, Beach. Savan-
nah: "This summer program
has been very beneficial to me
I have learned more about
chemistry and have become
more encouraged to become a
chemist. I shall continue work-
ing in the laboratories here for
a while even though the formal
classes end."

Henry Lee Strong, Athens .
High and Industrial School,
Athens states: "It was a great
experience, an excellent oppor-
tunity; I have enjoyed it and I
feel that the program should
be continued,"

"The summer science training
is a real good program," says
George E, Wyncott who is a
senior student at the Manchester
High School, North Manchester,

A Trihnle to

Graduation time draws nigh
And soon from place to place
Our commencement speakers
Will tell us what we face.

We face Interplanetary travel
And how we ought to dress, y
We face the forked road,
One leading to success.

We face the future brightly
And withhold our pride a bit.
But in the midst of all this talk-
ing.
We sit and sit and sit.

M. Dale Baughman

Indiana. He further stated: "The
program provides the oppor-
tunity to go further than just
a high school background course
in chemistry. It gives insight,
practical knowledge and experi-
ence and provides background
information for further studies.
The program is worthy of its
existence and I definitely feel
that it should be expanded and
continued to provide a greater
challenge for students. This
should be a National Program.
Both Dr. Pratt and Dr. Tucker
are excellent instructors, they
have done an excellent job and
I don't think they come any
better than these two men. An
expansion of facilities and sup-
plies for the program should be
considered. My experiences in
the summer science program
have been quite rewarding, and
I have found that the people
attending are pleasant to work
with and possess pleasing per-
sonalities. The campus has a
home atmosphere and my entire
stay here has been most enjoy-
able."

Dr. Pratt stated in an inter-
view that it is the wishes of the
department to continue the
training program and expand it
to include Mathematics.

Dr. E. K. Williams, director of
the summer session at Savannah
State College, announced the
opening of the first journalism
workshop for scholastic advisers
and teachers, Monday, July 20,
Registration was held at 9 a.m.,
in Room 200, Meldrlm Hall. The
workshop was made possible
through a grant from the News-
pap)?r Fund of the Wall Street
Journal. Thirty teachers and
publications advisers have re-
ceived scholarships, Including
five from the Royal Crown Cola
Bottling Company, and twenty-
five through the Newspaper
Fund. The workshop terminated
July 31.

Wilton C. Scott, director of
public relations and publicity,
served as the director of the
workshop and was assisted by
Mrs. Luetta C. Mlliedge, assistant
professor of language and litera-
ture, who served, also, as a full
time instructor for the workshop,
along with Mrs. Cllshie P. Eagle-
son, director of student publica-
tions, Booker T. Washington
High School, Atlanta, Georgia.
Mrs. Eagleson served as a full
time visiting Instructor.

Serving as workshop consult-
anLs and lecturers were Mrs.

High school students with high
scholastic ability were selected
for the Summer Science Train-
ing Program, sponsored by the
National Science Foundation at
Savannah State College, June
15 through August 7.

All expenses were paid Includ-
ing travel and board for the
thirty students coming from
states as far south as Florida
and as far north as Indiana.

The students formed commit-
tees for cultural and social pur-
poses. Cultural activities in-
cluded trips to Southern
Nitrogen Plant, Savannah, and
Savannah River Atomic Energy
Plant, Aiken, South Carolina.
Guest lecturers came frequently
to discuss the main sciences
Biology, Dr, Griffith and Dr.
Johnson; Mathematics, Dr.
Glover: Chemistry, Dr. E.
O'Banin; Bio-Chemistry, Dr. C,
Pratt and General Chemistry,
Dr. W, Tucker, main lecturer for
the institute, and advisors, Mrs.
J. Jones and Mr. F. Glover.

Social activities included out-
ings, movies, dances, and the last
event was a banquet where
certificates were awarded to the
participants by Dean Meyers.

Dr. Pratt, Department Head,
and Dr. Tucker feel that the
program was very successful and
that the students worked dili-
gently. The course taken was the
equivalent of two quarters of
general college chemistry. They
both hope that everyone will
continue their studies in chem-
istry (hopefully at SSC),

It is the general opinion of
the students that the program
was both interesting and bene-
ficial. The topics were discussed
in more detail requiring more
concentration, thus making
competition keener.

Working in the laboratory was
new experience for many stu-
dents and a more extensive
coverage for others. Three days
of the week, the students worked
on their individual projects, and
these projects were on display
during the last days of the
institute.

It is the wish of the partici-
pants and the instructors that
the program should be con-
tinued in the future, so that
other students will have the
opportunity to increase their
knowledge of the sciences.

Savannah State
(College Offers
Incentives to
Scholarly Athletes

By Dennis Polite

Savannah State College, con-
tinuing in its efforts to bolster
the athletic program, has re-
vamped its coaching staff and
brought in additional personnel
for this end.

Following by a few months the
appointment of former Morris
College mentor. Lee Richardson,
to the post of head football and
basketball coach, comes the
announcement from the school's
athletic director, Albert E.
Frazier, of the naming of John
Mason of Bluefield State to the
post of assistant coach.

In other news from the SSC
campus, it was reported that
several of the school's varsity
players from last year have been
dropped from the team follow-
ing the application of more
stringent academic regulations
covering athletics.

Frazier also announced a new
policy of a more intensive "at
home" recruiting drive for top-
notch athletes.

Frazier said that with Rich-
ardson as head the coaching
staff would include Richard
Washington as backfield and de-
fensive coach. Mason as end and
offensive coach, Frank Simmons
as line coach and Richardson
having exclusive charge of the
quarterbacks and centers.

The tougliening-up of aca-
demic rules covering participants
in extra-class activities at the
college has had its repercussions
on the program and prompted
Frazier to say that it would
cause the loss of "quite a few"
varsity players of last year's
squad. He declined to elaborate
on names,

"President Jordan has spared
no effort in trying to bring the
athletic program up to par with
colleges of similar size," said
Frazier, "but he didn't do so
at the expense of excepting
sports participants from the
academic regulations, a college
employee said."

Although there have been
some local boys on its teams in
the past, there will be a great
deal more in the future said
Frazier. He emphasized the fact
that a more generous budget
has enabled them to offer more
grant-in-aids and that local
standouts would get their share,
and that locals will be given
preference over other scholar-
ship contenders.

"To this end, he said, there
will be several more local boys
on the team this year than last
year."

Ironically, it was a Savannah
boy who headed tlie team that
handed SSC its worst defeat of
last year's ill-fated 0-6 season.

Releasing a tentative seven
game schedule, Frazier said that
he is working to fill the two open
left on the school's slate. I
have been trying to fill these
two dates for weeks now, he
said, and the only hope I have
left is the Southern Inter-
collegiate Athletic Conference in
Atlanta in late August,

The tentative schedule:

October 3, Edward Waters Col-
lege at Jacksonville; Oct. 10,
Fort Valley State; Oct. 17, Morris
College; Oct. 24, Clark at At-
lanta; Oct. 31, Albany State at
Albany; Nov. 7, open; Nov. 14,
Mississippi Valley State ; Nov.
21, Claflin at Orangeburg, S. C.

Portrait of Modern Man

Hu

nan Behavior: An Inventory of Sc'iei
Gary A. Siecner. 712 Pp. New Yc

By E. J. Josey, Librarian
Someone has said that a good
journalist never begins his col-
umn with an apologia, but since
this writer feels that a student
newspaper should be the exclu-
sive organ for budding student
journalists, he must present a
raison d'etre for writing this ar-
ticle. The able editor of this
paper extended an invitation,
and as a librarian, this writer
could not resist the temptation
to review a very important book
that was published in February
of this year.

Bernard Berelson and Gary A.
Steiner, two of America's distin-
guished social scientists, have
made an invaluable contribution
to the literature of their field
with the publication of Hnmnn

liehavior: An Inventory oj Seientijie

Findings. Since this work is a
compendium of scholarship, it
will not be found on the Best
Seller List, and hence, it may
have escaped the attention of
many people in the SSC com-
munity.

These two scholars drew from
the research over the last few
decades in the fields of Anthro-
pology, Psychology. Sociology
and related fields, and they pre-
sent their findings which depict
the behavior of modern man,
Berelson and Steiner contend
that although the behavioral
sciences iiave "all the faults of
youth and immaturity, they are
a major intellectual invention of
the 20th century, and largely an
American one." What are some
of these faults? These gentle-
men believe that there is "too
much precision misplaced on
trivial matters, too little respect
for crucial facts as against
grand theories, too much respect
for insights that are common-
place, too much indication and
too little proof, too little genu-
ine cumulation of generaliza-
tions, too little regard for the
learning of the past, far too
much jargon." Nevertheless, the
authors say that the behavioral
sciences are "an indispensable
approach" to the understanding
of modern man.

Their findings are both varied
and interesting. Some of these
1,045 "findings," you will, in all
probability, unquestioningly ad-
mit, and some of these you will
probably reject. Let us look at
a few of the most provocative
aspects of their research.

"There is no conclusive evi-
dence that psychotherapy is
more effective than general
medical counseling or advice in
treating neurosis or psychosis.
Strictly speaking, it cannot even
be considered established that
psychotherapy, on the average,
improves a patient's chances of
recovery beyond what they would
be without any formal therapy
whatsoever." I wonder if the
students of psychology on cam-
pus will accept this challenge.

Of particular interest to Negro
citizens is the following; "It is

lific Findings. By Bernard Berelson and
>rk: Harcourl. Braee & fl'orld. Inc.

probably fair to summarize the
matter (of the comparative in-
telligence of Negroes and whites
in the United States) by saying
that most specialists in the sub-
ject believe that inherent or
genetic differences in intelli-
gence between races have not
been established."

In addition to the established
reasons for the recent Harlem
riots economic deprivation, poor
housing and abject poverty, it is
this reviewer's opinion that Ber-
elson and Steiner findings on
prejudice and discrimination
touch on one of the fundamen-
tal reasons. The authors assert
that "as a result of prejudice
and discrimination, members of
the minority group often suffer
some deterioration of personal-
ity; Self-doubt, self-hate, impul-
sive and superstitious behavior,
resigned exploitation of inferior
status, deviant behavior, family
disturbance, and mental illness."

Students in Education will be
interested in this statement.
"Adolescence is not necessarily
a period of intense emotional
disturbance arising from the bio-
logical emergences of the sex
drive or the psychological prob-
lem of becoming self-depend-
ent."

This reviewer is certain that
students and faculty members in
Sociology and especially in So-
ciology of the family will find
excellent discussion material
from the next statement. "Pre-
marital sexual relations are al-
lowed in a clear majority of hu-
man societies, but extramarital
relations are almost universally
condemned."

Berelson and Stejner's inven-
tory- of human behavior is a
monumental contribution to the
field, and the study will help to
reveal gaps in knowledge and
perhaps suggests how to fill
them. Because of space limita-
tions, it was virtually impossible
to catalogue other important
findings, but this writer will
take this opportunity to urge all
students and faculty to read this
title.

Instructor Beats
Student, 64

On Monday, July 20, Richard
Washington, Physical Education
instructor and assistant football
coach captured six of ten games
from senior student Joseph
Washington in a men's singles.

Coach Washington, one of the
best tennis players on campus,
won the ninth and tenth games.
In the ninth Joseph missed a
backhand swing that sent him
crushing to the ground. The
tenth game was won when
Coach Washington successfully
executed a shot that topped the
net and dropped into his
opponent's court.

-That Was the
Year That Was"

By Clemontlne Freeman

Once again the wheel of
fortune rolled around for the
seventy-third time as we cele-
brated our annual homecoming.
The date was moved up to Oc-
tober 17, and for this reason we
feel that this year's homecoming
was one of the best ever held
at SSC,

Homecoming is the time when
old friends and classmates get
together for a reunion and re-
turn to their Alma Mater,

October 17 began the usual
parade. In it one saw many
lovely queens representing
sororities, fraternities, clubs and
other organizations. We hope
you didn't forget to look for
the lovely and most attractive
Miss SSC. She is Miss Irene
Elmore, a senior Business Educa-
tion major from Savannah,
Georgia. The two lovely attend-
ants were Miss Mary Elizabeth
Smith, a senior Elementary Edu-
cation major from Fitzgerald,
Georgia. The other is the serene
Freda Hunter, a senior Elemen-
tary Education major from Fitz-
gerald, Ga.

Included in the parade were
bands from some of the local
schools, Morris College and of
course, our own dear Marching
Tigers.

The homecoming game was
played on the college athletic
field at 2:00, At that time the
SSC Tigers met the Morris Hor-
nets, Half time activities in-
cluded presentation ot Miss Sa-
vannah State College and her
court. Miss Morris College, tro-
phies for bands, floats, cars, and
spectators were entertained by
performances by the marching
Hornets of Morris College and
the SSC Tigers.

Immediately following the
game the Alumni Association had
a meeting and social gathering
in the College Center, The an-
nual student dance was in Wil-
cox Gymnasium beginning at
7:30 p.m.

William Burton, formerly emf/' counter is not a certainty, but
Emory is the challenger in the
latter.

Many other debates will take
place on campus as various in-
stitutions make their schedule
of tours. It is hoped by members
of the team to receive an in-
vitation to debate Harvard Uni-
versity this term.

man, Dean of Men at SSC.

morrow. We al.so leave the famous words of Browning: "A man'R

THE BEST MAN

By R. L. Joiner. Jr,

As a small segment of a great
society, we can only hope and
pray that the members of the
electoral college will select the
best man for president. But as
voters we can do our small part
to influence this choice.

Senator Barry Goldwater and
President Johnson, as we all
know, are the two nominees from
their respective parties. The
latter, of course, represents the
Democratic Party.

The question of who is the
best man can be answered
through the two candidates
campaign speeches and their at-
titudes toward current issues.
After listening to their plans and
proposals, a choice can be made-
Senator Goldwater has made
many erratic statements. His
speeches and thoughts do not
cohere. No one really knows
what to expect of him. Today
he votes against a bill, tomorrow
he promises to support it. What
does the Senator mean? Con-
sistency may not be a gem to
be treasured, but it does enable
the voters to make some basic

assumptions. He is not present-
ing a choice. He is complicating
the confusion.

From speeches, mass media
and other materials one gathers
that the Senator would like to
eliminate the social security
system from our society. Al-
though this frank criticism oE
the Senator, he may accuse me.
as he accuses other anti-Gold-
water people, of misquoting him.
But this is hardly the case. The
truth is that Goldwater is a man
who does not understand that
social security plays a vital role
in our democracy and its accept-
ance is increasing throughout
the world where this satisfaction
of human needs is a concern of
government.

A few weeks ago, four cars of
young people rushed through the
busy campus of SSC, Their cars
were decorated with balloons,
ribbons and signs which carried
the name, "Goldwater-64." This
was an Insignificant and puerile
act.

They should have known that
the anti-Goldwater people on

) his campus cannot breathe
pro-GoIdwaterism air and re-
main politically, socially, eco-
nomically and morally healthy.
It would be like trying to breathe
a substitute for oxygen. Thus, it
is unhealthy politically, physio-
logically, economically, and
morally unhealthy. Some feel
that it could jeopardize, to a cer-
tain extent, the freedom of
American citizens and to a fur-
ther degree, the American way
of life. One hardly knows just
how dangerous it is to take such
a chance, therefore, it is better
to place our trust in the man
who has done quite well in past
national conflicts Lyndon B,
Johnson.

Most people who are support-
ing the Senator are ignoring the
facts! They are only looking at
one side of the Senator. They
are only thinking of the freedom
from paying social security taxes
while ignoring other dimensions
of Goldwaterism, They are con-
fident that the Senator will
facilitate their task of getting
rich quick an impossibility for
most Americans. They do not
understand that lie may be
Irigger-happy. Such a man does
not belong in the White House
as Chief Executive.

What If the Senator becomes
President? Possibly we will have
to prepare ourselves for a third
world war. Should there be a
war we may face tiie destruction
of a cultural heritage that took
centuries to mold Then there is
the possibility that this war
could erase liumanity.

President Johnson is a prudent
man! He did not repudiate late
President Kennedy's plans when
the office of Chief Executive was
suddenly inherited by him. He
does not believe in getting rid
of vital systems which keep the
world running smoothly. In a
sense. President Johnson fits
the office like comfortable slices
fit the feet. He is at home with
the enormous task of being Chief
Executive and Commander-in-
Chief of the greatest nation in
the world.

There is quite a contrast be-
tween the President and the
Senator, Ihe Senator has a quick
temper with half an inch fuse.

This indicates that he is
capable of putting the nation in
danger! This quick temper and
the refusal to refrain from rash
statements make one think that
Mr. Goldwater is capable of
endangering the American way
of life both militarily and diplo-
ma tic ally-
Mr. Johnson is an easy-going
and realistic man who sparks
only when he feels that his ac-
tion will not endanger humanity.
He realizes that the United
States does not monopolize the
nuclear arsenal and is depend-
ent on other nations if she is
to survive.

We, as Americans, deserve a
leader who does not want to
make illogical changes in our
democracy; one who speaks for
the benefit of all Americans:
one who understands that erratic
statements turn cold wars into
heated ones. We deserve a man
whose forte is divided among
many issues. If these statements
are to become a reality, Gold-
water must be defeated, and
Johnson must be the victor.

If President Johnson is re-
elected, a better life for all men
will be expeditiously accom-
plished All hail, LBJ,

The Presidenfs Message

I am especially delighted to have been asked to share my
thoughts with our new and returning students at the beginning of
the school year, for the commencement of a new term represents
a unique moment in time and space.

Of all our moments, this moment of beginning a new day, a
new year, a new school term is the modicum of time that is most
packed with lavish hope This is the moment that most painfully
but gloriously struggles toward a new reality different from all other
realities that have ever come before. This is the moment of most
holy dedication ana devotion to that which is not yet. It is the
initial moment of "becoming," and through it we transcend the
past and move toward a future fulfillment that in itself is yet
another beginning. It is the moment of promise.

The beginning of a new day or a new school year provides the
occasion for catharsis. We may look back over the past day and
assess it for its worth: the deeds done, the duties neglected, the
principles forsaken, the effort sustained, the hopes abandoned, the
faith lost, the compassion bestowed. We may review the past school
year and weigh the lessons studied or not studied, the lectures
heard or not heard, the examinations passed honorably or dis-
honorably, the courses pursued dilllgently or lackadaisically, che
intellectual and moral growth that was or was not effectuated.
This beginning of a new day or a new term, crystallized in one
precise moment in time and space, gives us a new opportunity to
purge ourselves of spiritually stultifying recriminations and regrets
and feelings of hostility and guilt. Neither flaying the body nor
excusing the will but. rather, honestly facing the realities of ouv
past inadequacies, we are able once more to begin anew.

Like the phoenix, that mythological bird which was regularly
consumed by fire and which arose from its ashes, we are privileged
at this moment to rise from our academic pasts and face the future
with hope and determination restored. Like the phoenix, we have
an opportunity to begin once again.

I wish for each of you a fulfillment of the promise that is
within you at this unique moment of the beginning of the 1964-
65 term,

HOWARD JORDAN, JR
President

Stitfleut Coiiucil Presidenfs Message

As president of the student council, it gives me great pleasure
to welcome you here as members of our college family.

As you make your transition from high school to college, you
will become aware of the new challenges and responsibilities whicli
you will face. You will no longer be looked upon as foot-loose and
fancy-free adolescents, but rather as men and women of high
character and responsibility, Therefore, the world is depending on
you lo be the future leaders of tomorrow.

This is a time when justice and freedom for all mankind are
being threatened by bigots, racists, and extremists who are shouting
their objections from the hill tops, simply because they wish to
enslave, degrade, and deny the rights of others, but this denial of
human dignity cannot and shall not prevail.

So I say tc you here today, arm yourselves with knowledge so
that no one can say to you that you don't quaUfy. You must study
hard, so that employers by the liundreds will be beating a path
to your door for your services. Then you can say that I am one of
those gifted persons who knows that he is a qualified worker.
Wisdom cleanses the mind of ignorance and superstitution so that
one can follow the flowing stream of progress and not the hazardous
whirlpool of apathy and indifference

Here at Savannah State College, we are striving to establish
a first-rate institution through first-rate students pursuing ex-
cellence in academic as well as extra curricular activities. We must,
therefore, pledge our loyalty to our college, and by so doing, we
will be helping to insure a better state and a better nation

As citizens of this college community, it will be your responsi-
bility to express your opinions about your college, because construc-
tive criticism will make for a greater Savannah State College.

By helping to build a greater Savannah State College, we can
logically conclude that Its product will also be superior. This
achievement, in essence, is your task. As President Johnson in his
first speech to Congress stated, "Let us continue."

Let us roll up our sleeves and go to work today to develop our
minds and bodies to meet the challenges and requirements of our
progressive age. Let us not think of how impossible things were
yesterday, nor let us put aside until tomorrow, those things which
can be done today. For yesterday is history, and tomorrow is only
a dream.

Finally, let us not forget divine providence. I am reminded of
a proverb which states that wisdom is the principal thing, there-
fore get wisdom, but in all of your getting, get understanding.
^IMMY STEPHERSON, President,

Savannah State College Student College

unanimously won the democratic
nomination for the senatorial
seat now occupied by Republican
incumbent. Kenneth Keating,

It has been speculated that
Kennedy was a bit reluctant
about seeking the Senate seat;
but he realized, seemingly, that
this chance might help him to
re-enter the mainstream of
American politics.

The former Attorney-General
was greeted by sarcastic remarks
upon disclosing his decision to
run in the Senate race: remarks
such as "carpet-bagger," and
"the biggest tiling to hit New
York since the Beatles," Never-
theless, the Democrats at an
early stage were more concerned
about getting a favorable candi-
date with a name in politics to
enhance their political strength
in Congress, It seems that, at
that time and even now, the
Kennedy name does wonders in
political circles as well as at the
polls. Bobby Kennedy now being
the most popular of the Ken-
nedys, and Teddy Kennedy

already being in the Senate, gave
the Democrats proof that he is
tlie ideal candidate for the seat
in the U. S. Senate.

Since the nomination, Ken-
nedy has been campaigning very
energetically and his popularity
with voters, seems to be winning
him the support of Republican
voters, thus, giving Senator
Keating and other members of
the GOP a cause of alarm.

The only skepticism in Bobby's
decision are the ones New
Yorkers pose: Are there motives
behind Robert's decision to run
for the Senate? If he should de-
feat Keating, does he plan to
represent the voters of New
York?

Mr. Kennedy has certainly
proven that he is by no means
a push-over in politics. And
whatever his commitments are
in the event he wins in the elec-
tion, it is believed that he will
wisely represent New Yorkers.
His previous years as Attorney-
General also give proof that he

Driving at 100 miles per hour
is the quickest way to get to any
cemetery.

To deflate a tire rapidly, run
it over a broken bottle.

Rear view mirror as the term
implies is good for looking at
shapely girls you just passed.

The customary margin of
safety to allow a pedestrian is
two feet. His feet. . . .

If your lights suddenly go out

probably won't need them any
longer anyway.

Poems of Lillie M. Kyles

Masks

By Lillie M. Kyles
What masks men wear to hide

their true feelings?
Would I could open up their

hearts and see
Just what in life have been their

dealings
Surprised I am certain I would

not be.
Certainly from my eyes some

tears would flow
When worry, fatigue, remorse

and disgrace fell
But I would at once begin to

glow
If the unmasked men consented

to tell
Me that they were planning to

rid themselves
Of the troubles hidden beside

their masks.
They might consent to have

their troubles shelved,
Or to make a clean breast
And have them blasted.
Then I would dispose of the use-
less key
And thank the unmaskers on

bended knee.

What Do Yon
Think?

By Walker Durham

Of the sidewalk at Meldrim
Hall?

Of the new Patrol truck?

Of the new faculty mem-
bers?

Of the number of students
standing in assembly?

Of the new girls' dormitory?

Of the old girls' dormitory?

Of B, J. James?

Of the Composite?

Of the freshmen girls, fel-
lows?

Of the freshmen boys,
chicks?

Just what do you think? Do
you ever think? Try it!

Were I Able

By Lillie M. Kyles
Were I able to I'd reach for a

star
If it were In my power
I'd make you care.
Oh what peace we'd have
Were it up to me.
Oh. but if I could I'd build you

a castle.
Certainly you'd have diamonds
Were they mine to give.
Honest. I'd love you were my

heart not closed,
I'd do many things, so many.

many things
Were I able to.

Ask the Freshmen

By Walker Durham

The following are answers of
freshmen to the question: What
is your first impression of SSC?

Odessa Williams The school
is a wonderful school. It offers
great opportunities in education
for interested persons.

Ruby Watkins I think SSC is
an excellent school. It has a very
impressive teaching staff. I think
that I am going to have a very
successful year.

Eugene Johnson As a person
Interested in the artistic things
of life, I think that the campus
is generally beautiful and the
natural beauty Is much to be ad-
mired. However, I think that
student relationship could be
better, SSC as a whole, I believe,
will enhance my career Im-
mensely.

Elizabeth Bacon I think SSC
is a very Interesting college.
Why? Because It Is In my home-
town. I think the modern edu-
cational facilities stimulate me
to a great extent,

Yvonne Lulcn I think SSC is
a wonderful place to further my
education. The college has much
to offer mc.

Justine Chccvcrs My first Im-
pression? I find the college a
place of fantasy- especially the
beautiful scenery.

Freddie Wynn I think that
the college Itself is most im-
pressive. I like the friendly
atmosphere displayed by the stu-
dents.

Mary Aliec Jones I am just
as excited now as I was when I
first arrived. I Just love the
scenery and the students seem
to be very collegiate.

Visions

By Lillie M, Kyles

I looked upon a mountain that
was covered with snow.

I looked upon a precious gem
and was awed by its glow.

I looked into your eyes and my
heart began to melt,

I looked into your eyes and won-
dered if you knew what I felt.

I looked into the future and I
saw bard.

I looked into your mind, and you
in mine, and I gave you a nod.

knows the problems of the na-
tion. Therefore, one cannot
justly argue that he is inexperi-
enced.

Another aspect of the race
leads to the question: Is Robert
Kennedy ambitious and deter-
mined enough to return to
Washington as a resident of the
White House? Surely, Mr. Ken-
nedy is cognizant of the fact
that New York, politically, is one
of the strongest states in the
nation. Maybe he feels that New
York is the beginning point to
enhance his chances to reside
at 1800 Philadelphia Ave,, N. W.

Ask the Fellows

By Walker Durham

Play ball! Is what we will be
hearing as the series begin.
Maybe your favorite team did
not make It, but the teams that
are playing are rather good. In
view of this, which team do you
think will win the series?

Franklin Polite Yankees, be-
cause they have been doing well
all season. Where the Cards
came up at the end of the sea-
son,

S. J. Williams Yankees, be-
cause they have a much better
pitching staff and more power
hitters.

M. Wallace Cards, because
they have a better overall
batting average than the
Yankees.

Bobby Carter Yankees, be-
cause they have more power
hitters.

Guy Hoge Cards, because It
has been a long time since they
played In a series.

Thomas Lawyer Cards will
win it in six games because of
their speed, and because of the
Yankees' injuries,

William Martin The outcome
of the series is unpredictable.
Both the Yankees and Cards
teams possess ability and en-
durance, I predict a very inter-
esting series regardless of the
outcome.

hundred and twenty-five eager freshmen appear

October, 1964

CLUB

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

WELCOME BACK to the Halls of Academe! Tliey may or may
not be covered with ivy-but what's on our mind is what's going:
to be covering yon! So let's take the plunze, and get your ward-
robe with it!

FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE-apecific.iiy, with

one of the new "Three-Alarm Blazers"! This h
n new breed of blazer, and one to keep clearly
in mind when you're looking for a new sport
jacket. They're just what they sound like-
colorful! in reds from brilliant to burgundy,
in greens from biliiard-table to bottle, in
bright bhies and, of course, in camel! Linings
blaze brighter, too-solids, stripes and patterns
to contrast or blend with the blazer. Buttons
account for the third alarm, in brilliant ce-
ramic with colorful motifs, or in bright, bur-
nished metals.

TAKE A GIANT STEP into "Giant Plaids." for another new look in
sport jackets. These oversize plaid patterns can be found in rich,
mellow color combinations like brown with blue, tan and brown
with dark red, and light and dark bronze tones. They're cut, of
course, with the natural shoulder styling favored on campuses
from coast to coast.

"BIG V" GETS A BIG VOTE for still a third idea in sports jackets.
This is your favorite herringbone pattern, but it's magnified to a
mighty power-especially in black and white or black and gray
combinations of hefty, husky yarns! The "Big V" adds a bold
note to the classic sport coat this year.

"CLUB CHINOS"- NEW CLASS FOR NEW CLASSES. The.cv,-

Chinos are neater, trimmer and slimmer than last year-and lots
of them will stay that way longer! Practical polyester-blend fab-
rics contribute e.^ctra crease-retention, in or out of the laundromat.
These popular pleatloss pants feature a hip-riding waistband and
an added Western touch in frontier-styled pockets. The natural
tan tones continue to be most in demand, especially the new
bleaclied "Bone" shade.

HAVE A "HOOT" FOR YOURSELF this year! The craze for hoote-
niinnies has given its name to a whole new way of dressing on
campus. This -Hoot Look" is identifiable, first of all, by the turtle-
neck sweater-real or "mock" (the high crew neck)-for a rugged.
he-man look. Bright solid colors, stripes of every description and
in eveiy direction, nrgyle and Scandinavian patterns-all will be
found this year with the turtleneck "Hoot Look"!

JACK UP YOUR WARDROBE WITH A HOOT

JAC-the casual shirt-jacket that's the "hip"
hip-length, fitting loosely over your tiim, cor-
duroy Hoot Slacks. Solid or multi-colored
stripes highlight the Hoot Jac, which features
classic button-down styling. Carried to its
logical conclusion, it should be worn with a
solid color turtleneck tee shirt (surprise!) or
dickey made of comfortable, practical cotton
knit or polyester blend.

FOLKSINGALONG IN CORDUROY, which is staslng a comeback
on the camiju-i in ili sl^.ilis. In tan and bronze tones as well as
the blighter colors, and with trim, tapered styling, thc-e cordurov
slacks coordinate perfectly with all the ingredients of the "Hoot
Look."

HELP STAMP OUT SQUARES in your Hoot Boots-todavs 2-
eyeic-t deini-boot with welt seaming. You can find them in plain,
grained or brushed leathers.-with leather or rubber soles-unlined
or, for cold-weather quadrangles, lined with fleece or shearlin".
And for practical, easy-care socks, try on some Hoot Hose-a
combination of acrylic fiber and stretch nylon in soft lier.ther
mixtures that go-with-everything, everywhere!

SUITING UP for the more formal functions on campus is our next
topic-so we'll be seeius you next month with the "suitable" \Voi J!

It couldn't have been a woman
who coined the phrase "The less
said the better"

By Robert L, Brown

The year 1964 marks the 400th
anniversary of the birth of Wil-
liam Shakespeare. While glanc-
ing through the pages of Esquire,
one is reminded of Shakespeare's
statement in The Taming of the
Shrew, "old fashions please me
best."

It appears that the designers
of men's apparel agree with the
bard. For giant plaids will be the
trend in sports coats for men
this year. Some of the more
popular styles include Shetland
tweed in red, cranberry, blue and
taupe; a grey and white with
ranchero red over a pale pink
shirt; a wool and mohair in
camel; black firebrand red, and
a leather mixture based on blue-
green, browns and tans.

For many years, college men
abandoned hats. However, many
are returning to that "old
fashioned look" v/ith the pinched
crown model hats with a bronze-
tone felt.

Topcoats are interesting and
handsome to view as well as to
wear. Esquire recommends a
bold herringbone black-and-
white woolen in the shorter
length and in the double-
breasted style.

The rainy weather will bring
in the return of the classic rain
coat in natural, navy, and black
with the black and dark-olive
poplin collars. The sandy-tan
cotton twill with plaid lining
will be very popular on SSC
campus and is still in vogue.

The SSC males having pre-
served their clothes in moth balls
and having good cleaners will
be able to save a few dollars by
not spending money in this
budget category. They will find
interesting clothes awaiting
them in the haberdasher shops
in Savannah and Atlanta, And
fellows, please bring those dirty
desert boots and bucks with you!

Fashion Highlights
For Homecoming

By Jean Stewart
Dear Fashionwise,

Ripples of admiration will
meet every SSC woman when
she attends the homecoming fes-
tivities for the year 1964-65 in
her elaborate outfits. However,
chances are, many of you are
finding it difficult to decide
upon the proper attire for liome-
coming due to the changeable
weather conditions. From close
observation of weather forecasts,
all indications are that the tem-
peratures will remain a little
"chilly." Therefore. It may be
wise to select your homecoming
suits, dresses and coats accord-
ingly,

A quick glimpse of the top
fashion magazines reveal that
knitted garments will make
fashion news this fall. Actually,
you can't count the ways to wear
the versatile knit garment lespe-
cially neutral colors) which can
be worn to fit any occasion
around the clock. So you see.
knits are very versatile.

Your lower levels must also be
considered. By lower levels, I
mean your legs. Surely, you have
heard of the great way to make
your legs look the prettiest, gay-
est, and chlc-est ever! Yes, this
can be accomplished by choosing
your wardrobe of hosiery wisely.
Nylons are taking on new colors
and designs which can be a
great asset to improving the ap-
pearance of your legs. However,
remember to utilize the best pos-
sible taste in your selection.

Here is looking forward to see-
ing you looking as lovely as a
queen this homecoming.

In a pre-season exhibition
game, the Savannah State Col-
lege Tigers were defeated, 18 to
6, by Benedict College of Colum-
bia, South Carolina.

In the first half the score was
0-0. It was mostly a defensive
game.

The third quarter was com-
pleted with neither team scor-
ing. The real action came In the
fourth quarter when a pass, a
run, and an interception were
used by Benedict to score its 18
points,

Carl Westmore, a 175 lb, fresh-
man, scored the lone touchdown
for the Tigers,

Eleven letter men from the
previous year are back on the
team and they are expected to
see plenty of action this year.

Dickiiii^on Favors
Superior SUideiils

Carlisl.;-. Pa. iI.P.) The
superior student will set his own
pace hereafter at Dickinson Col-
lege where a new curriculum re-
duces the number of courses and
encourages independent study.
The faculty has abandoned the
semester hourly credit system
for the 5-j. 4-4 course plan and
a series of independent study
options.

Dean Samuel H. Magill in an-
nouncing the new program said
the curriculum changes assume
a degree of maturity in students
whereby they are able to take on
increased responsibility for tlieir
own education. The intent. Dean
Magill said, is to prevent frag-
mentation of student time and
attention, thereby giving the
student opportunity to move out
independently into intellectual
interests of his own choosing.

Under the new plan, freshmen
and sophomores will normally
take five courses a semester and
juniors and seniors four courses
a semester. Greater breadth of
acquaintance with disciplines in
the humanities, social sciences
and natural sciences will be in-
sured by changes in distribution
requirements. The more notable
of these changes include:

a two-semester requirement
in philosophy and or religion for
A.B. student-s. and a two-year
requirement in the natural
sciences and mathematics, one
year of which must be in a
laboratory science

In addition, every student
must take a one-semester course
in non-Western studies, thereby
insuring a minimal contact with
an area of the world other than
the West, Also adopted are a new
upper-level science course for
non-science students designed to
combine selected theories with

Gives .S75,U(M) Grant

Washington, D. C. (I, P.) A
$75,000 grant from the Carnegie
Corporation of New York will en-
able the Association of Govern-
ing Boards of Universities and
Colleges to considerably expand
its program of providing infor-
mation and services aimed at
improving the effectiveness of
governing bodies of U, S, colleges
and universities.

Transfer of the Association's
headquarters to this city is part
of this expansion move, accord-
ing to Association President Roy
Rowe. a trustee of the Con-
solidated University of North
Carolina. Mr. Rowe also dis-
closed that Dr. J, L. Zwingle. a
vice president ot Cornell Uni-
versity, has assumed the post of
executive vice president of the
Association.

Receipt of the grant. Mr Rowe
explained, "and Dr Zwlngle's
appointment are initial steps in
our plan to develop Association
membership to a point where it
will be truly representative of
the thinking and aims of gov-
erning boards for all institutions
of higher learning throughout
the country within a few years."

Commenting on Mr. Rowe's
announcement. Arthur S, Adams.
prominent educator and past
president of the American Coun-
cil, described Dr Zwingle as
being especially well equipped to
serve as tlie Association's execu-
tive officer "because of his ex-
perience with both privately and
publicly supported institutions
and the high reputation he has
earned in higher education."

Logan Wilson, president of the
American Council on Education,
said his organization "looks for-
ward to close cooperation with
the Association ot Governing
Boards, and Dr. Zwingle's
presence in Washington will
give added strength to the ranks
of executive officers of the key
organizations in the field of
higher education."

social policy considerations, and
an inter-disciplinary course in
the humanities designed lo in-
troduce the student to the major
literary, philosophical and re-
ligious documents of Western
culture.

Faculty studies here show tiiat
"a substantial number" of its
1,200 students are prepared to
work effectively outside the
regular format of class instruc-
tion. The independent study
options will present these stu-
dents with greater educational
opportunities and challenges,
and will provide a variety of
choices for students of every
interest and ability.

The most comprehensive
alternative is the Integrated In-
dependent Study Program, avail-
able only to the most highly
qualified students, in which it
will be possible for him to con-
clude his course work at the end
of his sophomore year and to
pursue independent studies for
his junior and senior years.

Also available will be Inde-
pendent Studies for juniors and
seniors of requisite ability for a
maximum of two courses per
semester. Another option will be
Independent Research, for quali-
fied senior majors.

Credit by examination will be
available for the student who
wishes to pursue independently
a program of study designed to
aciiieve a competence com-
parable to that required by an
average student in a stated
course offered by the college.

Annual Awards for
International Fd.
To Be Mad*

Beginning In 1965, the Insti-
tute of International Education
(HE I and the Readers Digest
Foundation will give five annual
awards for distinguished service
in International education
Grants of 1.000 each will be
given to a selected college or
university, a private organiza-
tion, a community and an in-
dividual who have made out-
standing contributions in the
development of international
understanding. A business cor-
poration will also be cited but
will not receive a cash award.

The announcement was made
jointly by Kenneth Holland,
president of the Institute, and
Sterling W Fisher, executive di-
rector of the Foundation. The
Institute is a leading nonprofit
private agency in the field of
international educational ex-
change. The Reader's Digest
Foundation is the philanthropic
arm of the world's most widely
circulated magazine, which is
published in 14 languages.

In announcing the new awards
program, Mr. Holland said: "By
establishing the awards on an
annual basis, we shall be able
to give recognition to many more
institutions, organizations, and
individuals who are participating
actively in educational and cul-
tural exchange.

"Heretofore, it was possible to
accord this recognition only at
our large national conferences
held in 1956, 1959 and 1960. This
year, 1964, the Reader's Digest
Foundation assisted us in grant-
ing cash awards to five colleges
and universities at our Fifth
Conference on International
Education in February. By in-
creasing and extending tlieir
grant, they have made it possible
to establish an annual awards
program and to call attention to
the depth of interest in this
country in constructive ex-
change-of-persons programs."

Criteria for evaluating the
contribution of candidates for
the awards were established by
the Institute in 1956 when the
first HE awards were made. The
quality of a program rather than
its size has become the deter-
mining factor for the selection
of awardees.

The college or university
selected for the IIE-Reader's
Digest Foundation Award will
designate an individual affili-
ated with its program to use the
grant for travel in a foreign
country, thereby broadening his
or her international experience.
This individual may be a foreign
student adviser, an admissions
officer, a professor or a com-
munity member who participates
in hospitality programs for for-
eign visitors.

Nominations for awards in the
five categories should be sub-
mitted to the directors of IIE's
regional offices by November 1,
1964.

The Chemistry Department
will launch into its activities
with the attendance of depart-
ment head, Dr, Charles Pratt,
at a conference given by the
American Oil Chemical Society
It will take place during October
11-14. Dr. Pratt will present a
paper consisting of data formed
from his research projects on
Flavonal. The project dealt with
establishing the exact structural
arrangement of the flavonals. In
describing flavonals it is best to
say that they are brown and
yellow compounds found in
cotton seed. They are phenolic
types of compounds possessing
various types of sugars.

During the years the National
Science Foundation and the Na-
tional Cotton Seed Foundation
have sponsored various research
projects on flavonals. These
projects are carried on by various
student teams aided by faculty
advisors. Ida Ducks has been
fortunate to work on the re-
search project concerned with
flavonals.

Another chemical endeavor is
a project designed to find the
sequence of amino acid in the
proteins of cotton seed This
project is sponsored by the Na-
tional Science Foundation, and
is carried on by a group of three
students. They are Ernestine

Prnfilps in fourage-
Lincoln, Kennedy

By Rubert L Joiner, Jr.

Notes from Vesper: After lis-
tening to Mr. Josey's comparison
and contrast of Lincoln and
Kennedy in Vesper several Sun-
days ago, one must conclude that
he, like many of those abroad
are not in agreement with the
findings of the Warren Report
that President Kennedy's death
was due to a single mentally de-
ranged killer.

JOINER

In his address, Mr, Josey noted
that both Lincoln and Kennedy
were effective speakers. One
came from the poorest of
families and the other came
from one of the wealthiest
families in the country. The
affluent Kennedy was the stand-
ard bearer for the Democratic
Party and the not so affluent
Lincoln was a Republican.

Mr, Josey further stated that
during both Lincoln and the
Kennedy administrations, the
nation was deeply involved in a
crisis over the Negro people.
Both were allegedly shot through
the back of the head by mentally
deranged persons and neither
regained consciousness.

This address was given prior
to the recent presidential elec-
tion and the speaker urged his
audience to defeat, with tre-
mendous black backlash, those
who hoped to inherit the votes
of the racist or to exploit the
discontented whites who were
fearful of progress,

Johnson defeated Goldwater.
Possibly Mr. Josey's message was
partly responsible. Perhaps, in
the interlude, another Lincoln or
Kennedy will be found.

SSC Adopts New Academic Regidations

Dr. Wells Addresses College Body ^
About African People and Affairs

Dr. L J, K. Wells, Executive Secretary lor the Friends of Africa
and America, addressed the Savannah State College faculty and
student body on African affairs several weeks ago in Willcox

Gymnasium.

In his opening statement Dr.
Wells mentioned the conditions
of Africa as being better as a
result of previous revolutions.
He noted also that the Negro's
struggle for equality in America
has played a great impact on
the African nations. And these
demonstrations have enhanced
the education of the American
people and the African peoples
in the area of religion, music.
philosophy.

Several African albums were
played in Assembly to show the
variance in American and
African music, A question-and-
answer session was a part of the
program.

A series of movie slides in the
A-V Center were shown on
Africa. A discussion on African
history, economics, and general
information pertaining to Africa
preceded the viewing of the
slides.

Arkansas. He received his de-
grees from the following uni-
versities: Lincoln University,
Lincoln. Pennsylvania; and the
University of Pittsburgh,

For twenty years he has served

as Supervisor of Negro Schools

HOMECOMING:

A Gala Affair

By Thomas Lawyer

The Savannah State College
Homecoming activities are over
for the 1964 season. We have
seen anotlier great and colorful
pageant pass into Savannah
State College's long and lUus-
tiious history.

The excitement generated by
the ideas of expectations lends
an air of gaiety to any festive
occasion, but it is always the
parades, floats, cars and bands
that really add the spark to
homecoming week and there was
no exception at Savannah State
College this year.

The theme of this year's home-
coming parade was "That was
the Year That Was." There were
many beautiful floats ranging
from the "Serpents of the Nile"
which depicted a sumptuous
flower lade^ barge ambling Its
way down the Nile River graced
with very lovely ladies, to "The
Jackie Kennedy Look of 1961."
Creativeness brought awards to
various organizations. '"The May-
flower 1620" won first place in
the float competition, for the
Technical Science Department,
With "64 Ago of Alpha Phi
Alpha" and "The Roaring 20's"
of the Senior class won second
and third place, respectively. In
the car competition, "The
Serpent of the Nile" won first
place trophy for the Junior class,
with "The Beginning of Outer
Space" for the Freshman class
and "The Entrance of Cleopatra"
of Camilla Hubert Hall won sec-
ond and third place trophies, in
that order. In the local high
schools band competition, Sol C.
Johnson conquered the first
place trophy, Tompkins High
won the second place trophy
with Alfred E. Beach winning
the third place

Sorry your organization didn't
win this year. Good luck next
homecoming!

year's itinerary will present the
group in various cities in Geor-
gia, Jacksonville, Florida; Co-
lumbus, Ohio; Indianapolis,
Indiana; Detroit, Michigan; Chi-
cago, and other mid-Western
cities and states.

By Leanord Jones

Dr. Robert D. Reld, Dean of
Faculty at Savannah State Col-
lege, has announced that the
new academic regulations will go
into effect immediately.

In an interview, Dr. Reld said,
"The purpose of the academic
policies Is to state clearly and
distinctly as possible the
academic policies that will be In
effect at Savannah State Col-
lege."

This program is directed at
raising the academic standards
of the college as a whole.

Beginning this quarter, all un-
satisfactory mid-quarter grades
have been sent to students,
parents and department heads
apprising them of the status of
students who have made un-
satisfactory showings. Under this
plan, each campus organization
will be notified about the
academic status of each also.

Dr. Reld noted that It has been
his experience that regulations
such as these have always
generated and encouraged the
students to maintain the school's
average.

Scholastic Program Long ISeeded

Fellow students, come to order!

The new academic regulations that become effective at the
end of this quarter, Is definitely the type of program long needed
at Savannah Slrtte College. This program is designed to eliminate
apathy, Indolence and complacency among students. Perhaps it
will serve as a challenge to the conscientious student and awaken
the indolent.

The primary aim of this program is to promote higher ntand-
aids of scholarship for the students of SSC.

Students can no longer remain for four years with an average
below "C." Now. the upperclassmen must maintain an average of
"C" if he plans to continue his studies without periodic inter-
ruptions.

The new academic requirements are not impossible to attain.
Students will merely have to seriously go about pursuing the goals
they came here to achieve a well-rounded education sprinkled
with sonic midnight oil and conscious effort.

In reiteration, the scholastic program that iias been initiated
at SSC is a program long needed here and it should long be
supported.

A Mandate for Leadership

The recent election of President Johnson to the presidency xor
the nex't four years is a mandate as far as the American people
are concerned. For this decision proves that the citizens of America
are no longer inclined to accept indifference, extremism, apatliy.
and nonchalance as factors for governing a country,

Mr. Johnson has proven himself to be an able leader of the
people, and his action concerning social security, education, full
employment, war against proverty and expressing a desire for
better racial harmony among races prove also that Mr. Johnson
is determined to build a better America,

Bec;iuse of the recent election, each person will have a greater
responsibility to work for the perfection of a better democracy.
The Negro r -, a part of American society has a greater responsi-
bility than Liny other time in his life. Not so much because he
lives in a complex society but because doors of many opportunities
are being opened to him for the first time and because of the fact
that the late near-perfect John F, Kennedy set examples which
molded and instilled an attitude of pride and conviction in him by
supporting the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 Mr. Johnson is aspiring
for a greater Negro cause and a greater unity among the American
people. Support the programs of President Johnson for a better
democracy!

The Plight of the ISegro

By Jerome Johnson
I am a Negro. My complexion
is black, brown and in some
instances so light I may pass
for a Caucasian. I possess the
same mental and physical
capacity as any race of people
on this earth: I bleed when I
am cut, I laugh when I am
happy, I cry when I am rueful.
Many times I have died for
the ideas of democracy in for-
eign countries and in a land I
call home which for some reason
has forsaken me. I am dis-
criminated against and per-
secuted and therefore must
suffer the indecencies which ac-
company tragic conditions such
as these.

I was brought to a foreign
land against my will to serve as
a slave for a race of people his-
tory has shown to be an Immu-
lator of my culture. And now
after decades of endless physical
torture without intervention of
law. I have graduated to the
level where I am given the choice
of staying in a land where I am
not wanted or returning to a
homeland that will not accept
me.

How long must I exist this
way? How long must I endure
the squalid ghettos that I am
forced to live in? How long must
I endure Inferior educational
facilities that I have to tolerate?
How long must I have to enter
back doors to restaurants? How
long must I be the last hired and
the first fired when I try to
find employment?

How long will It be before
these questions are answered,
no one really knows, but it Is
certain that these conditions
cannot prevail forever, for time
has a way of erasing love, hate
and even discrimination.

What Does Word
"Qualified" Meau?

By Robert L. Joiner. Jr.

The question regarding Negro
"qualifications" for professional
newspaper jobs has been raised
frequently in the past. But the
people who are not connected
with journalism exhibit per-
functory interest toward the
question. One would do well to
go back and analyze what
"qualified" means.

A summer edition of The
Tiger's Roar exposed the remarks
of Jim Sheppard. a member of
the Savannah Morning News
Staff, to the public. Mr. Shep-
pard spoke at Savannah State
College Journalism Workshop
Dinner. It was held at Johnnie
Ganem's Restaurant, 8 p.m..
Wednesday evening, July 29,
1964.

Mr. Sheppard stated that
journalism courses are part of
the curriculum of most liberal
arts colleges today, and many
colleges and universities offer
journalism degrees. This is a
just statement, but when Mr,
Sheppard later spoke of Negro
qualifications, it is hard to ac-
cept what he said as facts. Here
are some excerpts of what Mr.
Sheppard said;

"A few opportunities exist to-
day for qualified Negro journal-
ists; In most cases there are no
qualified Negroes to take ad-
vantage of these opportunities.
Undoubtedly, more opportunities
will exist in the future for quali-
fied Negroes. . . ,"

Mr. Sheppard's use of the word
"qualified" sparks one to ask a
question. Are most Negroes really
unqualified for professional
newspaper jobs? The American
Newspaper Guild's pamphlet.
"Careers for Negroes on News-
papers." answers that question.
The pamphlet contains com-
ments of successful Negro news-
papermen. Among them is a re-
porter for the Washington Star.
Clarence Hunter. It might be
well to consider the comments
of Mr, Hunter on the subject of
qualification:

"I hope that those who do the
hiring on the newspapers, wire
services and magazines, too. will
realize that they hire a good
many individuals of other races
whose qualification' Is that they
are not Negroes, The important
thing Is . , . that there is only
one Carl Rowan. Layhmond
Robinson . . . just as there is
only one James Reson, Arthur
Krock . , , or Mary McGrory.*'

Mr. Hunter stated also that he
had had conversations with
editors who claimed they were
looking for a Negro reporter, but
they ahvays seemed to expect
such a staff addition to bring a
Pulitzer Prize with him. He feels.
as I feel, that it's tragic to see
a Negro denied the opportunity
to earn a living as a deskman.
reporter or advertising salesman
simply because some one decides
he Is not "qualified" when whites
hold the same jobs despite the
fact they are no better qualified
by training, experience or in-
terest,

Mr, Hunter tells also, in the
Guild's pamphlet, of an experi-
ence to support his statement:

"I recall one gentleman who
had the highest of praise for my
work with the Post-Tribune in
Gary, Indiana. He admired my
clips, but became somewhat
hesitant when I could not claim
(he authorship of a book or an
article In one of the slick maga-
zines.

"During the dinner conversa-
tion I learned that neither he
nor a member of his staff had
written a book or sold a piece
resembling a magazine. But such
an accomplishment was part of
the 'qualification' a Negro would
have to pass before he could
join the staff."

Mr. Hunter puts it well.

What Next, Fellow Citizens?

By William Martin

This year, nlneteen-hundred and sixty-four has thus far proven
to be one that has afforded many challenges. It has exempUfled to
us the reactions of a nation so disrupted and confused that every
simple decision is of major importance. It has caused inferior
groups to realize that they are no longer the unimportant topics
for discussion, but major subjects In most significant conversations.
It has made potential organizations become aware of weakness and
disorders that have never been exposed within them during their
existence. It has caused a new and brighter beam to glow on all
aspects that normally were unnoticed. It has even caused the
fear of national sufferage to be present in the hearts of every
concerned, patriotic citizen, and yet. this year is far from being
at an end.

No one can predict truthfully in any way other than through
faulty guesses what will confront us in the remaining month, but
as a nation we must agree that whatever situation arises, whatever
minor or mapor crisis we suffer, we as patriotic Americans will be
Indirectly, if not directly, responsible. The widely used statement,
"A chain Is only a sstrong as its weakest link," is true in reference
to our nation's welfare. If we had been negligent In our choice of
a new representative for our executive department, we would now
feel our weakest link. If we conscientiously attempt to be objective
in thought, refusing to be unbiased in simple decisions which are
most important today, we shall destroy the foundation upon which
America stands, proclaim established principles of our country
unjust, and jeopardize our inalienable rights.

The primary theory for the establishment of government being
the social contract theory, an authoritative means of establishing
principles to govern socially, will be no longer in existence, when
we employ the art of critical thinking, Instead our decisions will
be hasty and faulty.

Now is the time, if ever, fellow citizens, to realize how very
important each of us is to our country's vital welfare, to prove we
are patriotic in our citizenship, and to exemplify what we have
learned as established truth, not only from the vast amounts spent
on schools, not only from what has been said through various modes
of national and international communication, but from years of
existence in general.

Cultural affinity, years ago being one of the early theories of
government, was gained through and consisted of three terms
group living, language, and religion. Have we increased in knowl-
edge culutrally and socially since those years to be called modern
America? There can be no specific yes or no to this question unless
we exempt at this requisite time how much a democratic form of
government has afforded us to do. Do we remain complacent as
citizens or do we push forward with determination in unity. The
decision is ours.

HE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

A Travesty

By Jack

The recent editorial in the
Savannah Morning News assert-
ing that the selection of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr,, to be
the recipient of the coveted 1964
Nobel Peace Prize is a "Travesty
On Respect" is but another In-
dication that the editorial staff
of the Savannah Morning News
cannot come to recognize that
race is not the sole determiner
of effectiveness and greatness.

Such pettiness as exemplified
by the editorial does not justify
refutation, but those who cannot
rid themselves of their petty
racial prejudices should at least
realize that the committee at
Oslo, Norway did not use race as
the sole means of making their
determination.

Even though Negroes who re-
sist the status quo are only sup-
posed to attain "novel" awards
in Georgia, such is not the case
where men can rise beyond their
petty prejudices.

The requirement for the peace
award is "the prize shall go to
the one who has worked most to
further the brotherhood between
the peoples and for the abolition

B. Colbert
or reduction of standing armies
and for the furtherance of peace
congresses in the preceding
year,"

This year the Norwegian
Parliament has appropriately
given this award to Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. His non-violent
tactics in permeating the
customs of the South and North
were peaceful. Certainly he has
done much to foster brotherhood
and harmony. The world paid
tribute and recognized Dr, King's
continuous efforts to secure the
liberties of all men. It Is incon-
gruous that a large newspaper
in the recipient's state would not
be pleased that a fellow citizen
was so honored. Evidently the
writer of the editorial in the
Savannah Morning News on
October 20, 1964, permitted his
prejudices to prevent him from
seeing reality.

It is the belief of the Oslo
Committee that the accomplish-
ments of Dr, King are sufficient
to prove that he has contributed
more for peace in the year 1963
than any other human being.

A Young Negro Speaks

By Otis Lor
In this complicated environ-
ment, the Negro has had a long
and hard ten-year struggle In
his endeavors to fulfill the
Supreme Court Decision of 1954.
This court passed the statement,
that the Negroes in the South
were not getting equal education.
In order to Improve the situa-
tion, the Supreme Court ordered
the schools Integrated, One of
the first test of the enactment
was when Miss Authurine Lucy
tried to enter the University of
Alabama. It came to mind at
that time, that in order for a
Negro to try to gain an equal
education to that of the whites
in the South, It was a necessity
to fight for the equal oppor-
tunities that Is rightfully due
him.

When one thinks of schools he
realizes that the people who
attend these schools must come

enzo Hayward

from some place in which they
live. Speaking about the subject
of places in which to live, the
Negro fight for Civil Rights also
takes his fight to such places as
housing projects, hotels, and
motels. For an individual to
feel that it is wrong for a Negro
to move into his community is
a sad thing in this continental
United States. For he who dis-
approves is no different from
anyone else, with the exception
of the pigmentation of his skin,
his facial features, and the
quality of his hair.

Many Caucasians feel that if
a Negro lives in the same hous-
ing project, hotels, or motels
where he does, he might become
contaminated Insofar as his
behavior patterns are concerned.
This question confronts me. do
they realize that the Negro cares

SSC Exhibits 14
Franck Originals

By Frederick Rom.nnski

An exhibit of twelve onginnl
drawings and two oil painting
by Frederick Franck, author ol
My Eye Is In Love, were on dis-
play in the Savannah State Col-
lege Library during the month
of October.

The drawings and paintings
of Dr, Franck are being shown in
connection with a nation-wide
tour of major libraries sponsored
by The Collier - Macmiilan
Library Service of The Crowell-
Collier Publishing Company.

Five of the drawings included
in the exhibit were from My Eye
Is In Love, which recently re-
ceived from the magazine Art
in America its "SOth Anniversary
Book Citation." My Eye Is In
Love is not a book on "how to
draw." but "why to draw." It is
a book about drawing as a total
response to life, and drawing as
a means of explaining life's full-
ness. The book contains one
hundred exceptional drawings,
created all over the world, that
communicate the spontaneous
contact made by eye, hand, and
heart with the most diverse ex-
periences.

Over a dozen museums in the
United States and Europe have
given Frederick Franck one-man
shows of his work. In addition
his paintings were on display as
part of the permanent collection
of such noted art repositories as
the Museum of Modern Art, the
Whitney Museum, the Boston
Museum of Fine Arts, and
several well-known European
museums. Among Or. Franck's
previous books on art. complete
with his own etchings, are Days
With Albert Schweitzer and
African Sketchbook. For his
drawings from the Ecumenical
Council, 1962, which have been
displayed widely in this country
and Europe. Dr. Frank received
the Pope's Medal of His Ponti-
ficate. In addition the doctor
holds an honorary Doctorate of
Fine Arts from the University of
Pittsburgh ''in recognition of his
outstanding contribution to the
arts, letters and science."

Lionel Haiu|itoii
Performs at SSC

Lionel Hampton, famous jazz-
man, and his international
orchestra, performed at Savan-
nah State College. Tuesday
night, November 3. 1964, The
first-rate musician is on a five-
week southern tour.

Earlier in the evening before
his performance. Hampton en-
joyed a meal at SSC's Faculty
Dining Hall and toured the
campus. His acts were marked
by special courtesy to the young
ladies who accompanied him
around the campus.

Hampton, now 50, has risen

within 20 years to fame. The
musician got his start in 1936
with Benny Goodman. That
marks the integration of the
music field.

To accuse Hampton of being
an uneducated musician would
possibly offend him. He was
graduated from the University
of Southern California and holds
two doctorate degrees.

Despite the pressure of a
musician, Hampton, a happily
married man, leads a life of
decoj-um. With such a firm con-
viction in God, he is able to look
on the brighter side of life.

"I like the type of music that
I play." he commented, "but I
like classical too. I'm not always
happy with my performances,
therefore, I try hard to improve
them. Outside of music. I like
to read the Bible, That's my
avocation."

On learning that Hampton
was born in Louisville. Kentucky,
he was asked his reactions of
the South,

Hampton thought momen-
tarily. "I like the charm of
Southern people," he said, 'I'm
glad to claim Edward Pazant,
from Beaufort. South Carolina,
as a member of my orchestra."

The "'Tiger's Roar"
Salutes Majorettes

In this issue of The "Tiger's
Roar" we are making a special
salute to the majorettes of Sa-
vannah. We feel that they per-
formed magnificently during
the current year.

One majorette was selected to
be a representative from each
high school. The following arc
the majorettes that were
selected:

Representing the majorettes
from Beach High, is the high
stepping Mary Francis Giles.
Miss Giles is a senior, and en-
joys dancing and reading. Her
ambition is to become an airline
hostess. Mary has a healthy 34-
24-38 figure.

Representing Johnson, is the
charming Miss Mildred Murray.
Miss Murray is a junior, and en-
joys dancing, marching, sewing
and cooking. Mildred's ambition
is to become a social worker. Her
vital statistics are 32-22-24.

Representing Tompkins is. 36-
24-38, Elane Jones. Miss Jones
!^ a senior who likes jazz, danc-
ing, and sewing. Elane hopes to
attend SSC and would like to be-
come a secretary.

Representing SSC is the
shapely Paulett Sibert. whose
measurements are 36-22-38. Miss
Sibert is a sophomore majoring
in mathematics. Her hobbies are
sewing, cooking, dancing and
marching. Her ambition is to
become a mathematician or a
pysicist.

A Ask a Student?

By Walker Durham

I have heard lots of students
talking about assemblies. Some
students say they should be re-
quired and some say they should
not. So. I decided to ask some
students this question:

Do you think assemblies should
be required?

Dorothy Scott No, because
they take up too much valuable
time which we could use in
the library,

Carolyn Williams No, because
sometimes they are boring. And
on the other hand, we could use
the time studying.

WiJIiam Martin Yes and no
Compulsory assemblies seem to
arouse a considerable lack of
interest by the student body in
general. Yet how can one stay
mindful of important informa-
tion without attending as-
semblies?

Daisy Thomas No, because
once a student has reached the
college level he should be allowed
to determine which activities
should best suit his academic
and social growth,

Leonard Jones Yes, because
I think the school has a well
rounded assembly program, and
unless the students were re-
quired to attend they would miss
out on some well versed pro-
grams.

Betty McRae No, because they
take up too much time!

Senorita Hughes Yes, I feel
that a mass assembly is the only
time the whole student body can
get together all at once.

Yvonne Luten No, I don't
think they should be required
for every Friday but once a
month.

Nathaniel Smith Yes. because
there are some very important
information given in assembly.
And because we have some well-
known speakers who come to
our campus. If students were not
required, they would not go as
they should,

Barbara Flynn^Yes, because
if it was left up to the students,
there would not be any students
in assembly.

Melvina Grace No. because
they are too boring.

MISS JONES

The Kappa s Challenge

By Al Watkins

More than two thousand years
ago when Christ came into the
world to carry out his mission
he sought not ordained min-
isters, but men who were willing
to follow after Him. He found a
carpenter here, a politician there
and a fisherman there. He gave
them a challenge saying, in
effect: "Come, follow me, for I
have a more important work for
you."

The members of Kappa Alpha
Psi Fraternity today are the
modern - day counterparts of
those men chosen more than two
thousand years ago. and face
the same challenge which has
come down through the
centuries. The challenge presents
itself in an even more complex
manner in this age where man
seeks to destroy man in a mad
race for weapons of destruction;

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity

During the last meeting of
Delta Eta Chapter of Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity, the brothers
proposed various plans for on-
coming events and occasions
that are to be sponsored by
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity,
Some of these occasions and
events are the Founder's Day
Program, Alpha Phi Alpha State
Convention, Alpha's Spring Ball
and the annual Debutante's
Ball.

The State Convention Is to be
held in Albany, Georgia, on
Albany State College campus
during the fifteenth of this
month. All of the brothers are
anticipating journeying to
Albany State College to attend
the convention-
Beta Phi Lambda, the local
graduate chapter of Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity, is sponsoring
its annual Debutante's Ball that
is to be held In the DeSoto Hotel.
This is an affair which all of
the brothers look forward to at-
tend because it is one of the
most elaborate affairs that will
be held In this area. There will
be numerous debutantes from
various colleges that will be in
attendance.

The members of the Sphinx
Club who are hoping to be
fortunate enough to cross the
burning sands Into Alphaland
are: Walter Holt, Marshall
Nolan, Raymond Bostwick, Al-
fred Mulllce, Jerome Clark, Al-
bert Brooks, Carswell Swint,
Mcrlius Sims, Leroy Butts and
Harold Singleton.

social, economic, and political
life make the "challenge" of
even greater magnitude, and we
hear a voice saying "Come fol-
low me."

Today the fraternity stands in
the midst of such an age . . .
an age on which the world is
hungry for the kind of leader-
ship which only the fraternity
can give. And the fraternity
stands with open arms, crying
out for members who are willing
to accept that "challenge." Fra-
ternities, when seen in their true
light, offer the greatest and
most profound doctrines to be
found in the world. The fra-
ternity teaches that life is a
unity. Time, talent, and posses-
sions are not to be held as
separate entities.

As the human body is one, but
has many members so the life
is one, but has many elements.
True brotherhood means that
life and all connected with it
must be held in trust for God.
We are elements of our posses-
sions whether tangible or in-
tangible. If life is a unity, then
we cannot possibly separate one's
personality from his or her
possessions. If the fraternity is
to move forward in its mission,
then true brotherhood must be
at the very heart of that move.
Since God is the Creator of all
things, we look upon all life as
a free gift or the benefit of
God's grace. The fraternity to-
day has a program that should
command interest and support
of all it's members. The success
or failure of that program in a
large sense depends upon how
we accept the "challenge."

Congratulalioiis from the
Tiger's Roar Staff

One year and several days ago. Dr. Howard
Jordan, Jr. became ihe official sixth president of
Savannah State College. Because this year sym-
ixiiizes the first anniversary of Dr. Jordan as
president, ihe 'A'l'^'fr's Roar attempts to depict a
facidty reaction, alumni reaction, and a student re-
action to the accomplishments of Dr. Jordan. Even
though this task is rather informal, the Tiger's Roar
Staff feels that Dr. Jordan deserves a tribute. For
the accomplishments that he has made for the
bettering of SSC are readily seen in the fact that
SSC has been recognized as an institution of higher
learning by the record enrollment here. Not only
is Ibis enrollment influential but the present atmos-
])here for higher standards serves as another factor.

The Halt's Roar congratulates Dr. Jordan for
his efforts and achievements and wishes Dr. Jordan
many more successful years.

Dr. Jordan displays all (jualilics of being
administrator.

It h a genuine pleasure for me to Join our students, alumni
and friends of Savaiuiali Stale College in saluting and congratulating
Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., on the occasion of his first anniversary as
I'rr-sidciit of this institution of higher learning.

Savaiuiah State College is a great institution and is destined to
bi'i-ciine nnicli greater under the able influence of Dr. Jordan's
il\n;iinic. progressive leadership and competent ability. As Director
of Student Pcrsoiuiel Services it has been most gratifying to re-
ceive bis i-upport and enmuragemenl for a strong Student Personnel
program. This is very encouraging as it will help us to plan and
promote a more effective program for our students, our college and
our cnniniunily.

Again, it is a pleasure for me to salute a great leader and an
outstanding educator, and to congratulate him for a Job well done
in his first year at S.S.C. May liis reign be long and I ivish for
liini much success in the years aheatl.

N. R. FREEMAN, Director
Sliidenf, Personnel Services

Besides being an administrator
and a family man. Dr. Jordan
combines pleasure, which mattes
for an all-around president.

In spite of daily tedious problems. SSC Prexy.
Howard Jordan, finds time to exchange ideas with fan
musician. Lionel Hampton.

^y^ A Year Has Passed

A year ago Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., took office as the sixth
president of the college. Ranging the campus today one at last senses
actual forms of what a year ago was only ". . . the substance of
things hoped for. . . ."

The second dormitory has been occupied by women: the third
is under construction. A compressed air sledge hammer is piling
the foundation of a critically needed general purpose classroom
facility. The golf driving range and a segment of the west side of
the campus have been cleaned up. Several superb, hard-surface
tennis courts have been made available.

It is to be expected that work on completion of the physical
education facility will begin presently. Other projects, we are in-
formed, will include a fine arls building and another dormitory
for men.

Briefly, then, many aspects of the physical plant reflect a spirit
of constructive activity, a spirit of progress.

Advance is seen, too. in the quality of staff additions and re-
placements. The college now has approximately twenty-five per
cent more Ph.D.'s than it had a year ago. Significant degree
strength has accrued in the humanities, economics, education, natural
sciences, social sciences, and engineering technology.

Hence, at Georgia's oldest and largest predominantly Negro
college the stage is set for significant progress. The president is
able and resourceful, a recognized educational leader. In terms of
professional growtli and development (doctorates, advanced graduate
study, etc.) the faculty is now probably the strongest in the history
of the institution. Current major programs ate still fully accredited.
Auxiliary services, library, and other facilities are becoming in-
creasingly adequate to support a first-rate undergraduate educational
operation.

Twelve months at SSC

Measures nut tlie dimension of his deeds.

He fills the calendar of his days

With new dreams for SSC

Dreams of educational excellency for its students.

Visiotis of its physical expansion,

y\nd faith in the professional growth of its faculty.

He is a man that

Separates not bis dreams from bis deeds.

Within the span of twelve months.

This man of vision has primed his energies

To effect the transference of new buildings

Beyond the blue print stage.

On varied occasions

He has formally and informally verbalized

His faith in the potentials of youth.

His respect for the personal integrity of his faculty,

And his hopes for the college he serves.

The human magnitude of his personality

Symbolizes the nature of his reaction

To those with whom he converses.

His insatiable desire to build a college

That will meet the needs of the individual

And the Challenges of a changing world,

Has generated parallel desires

In every heart at SSC.

of leadership that will move us to greater heights.
With the help of the responsible alumni and stu-
dents we cannot help hut go forward.

As Acting Alumni Secretary, I am deeply grate-
ful for the support that the alumni have given the
alumni scholarship drive. This is truly the best

By Frank Ellis, Jr., Sports Editor

On October 10, at the SSC
Athletic Field, the Savannah
State Tigers were defeated 32-0
by the Fort Valley State Wild-
cats. The most tremendous effort
ever shown by an SSC player
was the hard-playing of Johnnie
Sears, a sophomore all-S.EA.C.
guard of the Fighting Tigers.
Sears with three broken bones
in one of his fingers played an
entire game with great sports-
manship.

After losing to Fort Valley, the
Tigers really played hard against
Morris College, the S.E.A.C. Con-
ference Champions. The home-
coming crowd was very pleased
to see the Tigers take the lead
in half-time scoring. However,
the Hornets scored several TD's
in the second half to defeat the
Fighting Tigers at a score of
32-20, Carl Westmore. one of
SSC's most promising players,
scored twice for the Tigers.
Bernard Lewis with great de-
fensive playing scored once and
with the maneuvering of Frank
Ellis, the two-point conversion
was gained- The defensive play-
ers were Bernard Lewis, Al Sears.
Bobby Carter. Vaughn Ford.
Samuel Marshall. Joseph Stokes,
Johnnie Bush. Terry Nance,
Dennis Davis and Reginald
Adams. Along with the other
fellows, a little, but hard-run-
ning fullback named William
Hardy, was very outstanding in
the game,
Clark College Defeats SSC 34-U

The Clark Panthers of Atlanta.
Ga.. defeated the SSC Tigers by
a score of 34-6. Vaughn Ford
scored the lone touchdown for
the Tigers.

In Albany, Ga., the Tigers
were defeated by the Albany
Rams at a score of 23-0. Two
forward passes during one play
and several injuries to some key
players were the major setbacks
for the Tigers.

On the national scene, the
great Jim Brown of the Cleve-
land Browns became tlie first
man in history to surpass the
10,000 yard rushing mark. The
28-year-old fullback is a gradu-
ate of Syracuse University. The
Browns are leading the Eastern
Conference by a small margin.

Lenny Moore of the Baltimore
Colts back in top condition, is
really helping the Colts' gain in
the Western Conference. With
the passing of Johnnie Unitas
and the hard-running of Tony
Lorick, the Colts are looking like
the old Baltimore Colts of the
late '50's.

Hats off to the United States
Olympic Team for their excellent
performance in Tokyo, to all
of the local football teams in the
city, to our coaching staff,
athletic committee, and to you
fans who come out to root for
the Tigers.

Phys. Education
Goes ''Creative''

By Clementine Freeman

A very popular area that is
excluded from the Savannah
State College Physical Education
curriculum is Creative Dancing.
Even though it is excluded from
the curriculum two of our in-
structors have seen the need to
bring this exquisite art to our
campus-

A Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday class in creative danc-
ing has been started by Mrs.
Geraldine Abernathy, Instructor
of Physical Education and
John W. Jordan. Instructor of
English.

Creative dancing helps to
develop and make use of the
large muscles of the body. Words
and feelings are expressed
through the bodily action of a
dancer. A person's physical,
social, mental and cultural
values may also be seen through
creative dancing.

Presently the class is com-
posed of twenty students. All in-
terested persons are to contact
Mrs. Abernathy or Mr. Jordan,

In addition to Dr. Jordan. Dr.

pated at the conference.

The conference was iniated by
Governor Carl Sanders to better
the education conditions of
Georgia.

Fashions for Men

By Robert Brown
The month of November brings
cold weather in many parts of
the country. A large number of
Savannah State male students
will be traveling North and
South for the Thanksgiving
holidays. Along with Thanks-
giving festivities will be the trip
to the Thanksgiving football
game. Certainly all .SSC men
desire to be properly attired for
this big outdoor festival-
Leather coats and jackets ac-
cording to Esquire "bespeak a
new trend toward elegant-but-
rugged sportswear for fall," The
three-quarter coat in a medium
shade of grey looks very hand-
some. Most of these coats have
sash pockets and flap pockets
with removable linings. From my
study of the current fashions,
the most striking innovation is
the leather trench coat made of
bone white leather with the
traditional epaulets, a buttoned
front yoke and double-breasted
closure.

More hats are being worn than
ever- The Stetson hat continues
to remain popular. Some of the
most striking styles are in soft
grey, rich brown, and a blue-
grey blend. The felt is a soft
vicuna-type finish, and the brim
is one-and-five-eighth inches
wide. The bond is made of a
special grassgrain weave.

On a final fashion note, it is
urged that all SSC men be
properly dressed for the Thanks-
giving holidays. Those collegians
who look sharp will feel sharp.

Science Dept. to
Sponsor Seminars

By Juanita Myers
It has become a policy of all
the science departments to
sponsor weekly seminars to pro-
mote student enthusiasm, and
accelerate learning, and subject
comprehension. The Chemistry
Department is following this
principle with guest lecturers
from some of our outstanding
universities, and colleges. These
lecturers are supported by the
Atomic Energy Foundation and
the National Science Foundation-
These doctors in their multiple
fields of science, will give the
student an opportunity to ex-
tend and explore his thinking
capacities.

The first guest lecturer for this
year was Dr. C, A. Blake, from
the Oakridge National Labora-
tories. His topic was centered on
the development of Chemical
separation by solvent extrac-
tions-

The Chemistry faculty is now
engaged in many projects that
will be of benefit to the students.
Dr. Pratt has recently atttended
an undergraduate research con-
vention given by the National
Science Foundation in Washing-
ton, D. C- He has also been
selected by the National Science
Foundation to serve on a panel
in Washington. His recent at-
tendance was concerned with
the rating of proposals for

mentary, Science, and Mathe-
matics Teachers-

Dear Fashionwise,

Have you had your fashion

Christmas holidays rapidly ap-
proaching.

For those of you who are con-
sidering buying a cape due to
the cooler temperatures ahead,
go on and buy one. They are
very becoming to most young
ladies. However, remember that
capes don't do much for keeping
you warm on those cold winter
days. However, they may be
worn very comfortably on the
warmer winter days.

On those cold, rainy days, you
will find that boots will do much
for keeping your feet and legs
warm. These are a fashion must!

which come in sleeveless as well
as long sleeve styles. In the long,
cold winter months ahead, a

Junior class, got bids for the leading roles in -DOCTORS AND
NURSES" by James Reach, Other members of the cast are: Betty
Jean Gordon. Savannah: Craig Ford, Chicago; Jacqueline Annette
Ryals. Columbus. Georgia; Charles Savage. Savannah; Earl
Waltower. Augusta. Georgia; Marian A. Wallace. Jr.. Savannah;
Cora Lue White. Fitzgerald; Vivian Ransom. New York City; Adel

Charles Smalls, Harriett Hodges,
Gwendolyn Glover, Patricia Ann
Gardner. Charles Wright. Lois
Carson. Sherbie Best.

This absorbing, deftly-written
comedy "Doctor.^ and Nurses" is
a story which follows, with great
verisimilitude, the fortunes of a
group of young interns from the
day of their arrival at Valley-
brook General, a hospital in a
small rural community, until
their departure two years later.
In a simple setting, the off-duty
lounge for doctors and nurses,
we are caught up in their hopes,
their yearnings, their varying
problems. There is the glib, self-
assured intern who sees doctor-
ing as a short cut to quick riches.
There is, for contrast, the young
man who is going back to his
country town to set up in general
practice, who can look forward
only to a lifetime of hard work
and meager returns. There is the
lazy intern who wonders if he
was really cut out for this kind
of life. And there is the intern
from the slums of a big city,
sullen, a loner, with a secret in
his past that he is determined
to keep hidden. Their counter-
parts among the nurses include;
the attractive young woman with
a consuming ambition to rise to
the top of her profession; the
plain-looking nurse who never
leaves the hospital on her time
off because she has no place to
go, no one to see; and the plump,
incurably romantic nurse with
the ricli southern accent.

ing Society participated in the
7th annual Peachtree Invita-
tional Debating Tournament at
Emory University on November

Of the thirty-eight colleges
and universities that partici-
pated in the tournament. SSC
was the only predominantly
Negro institution participating.

The debate teams debated the
topic "Resolved that, The
Federal Government Should

Public Work for Unemployed."

Four members of the SSC
Debating Society attended the
tournament along with three
faculty members. They are:
James Sapp. a Social Science
major from Morristown N. J.;
Hazel Johnson, a senior English
major from Ocilla Ga,; Eloise
Anderson, a Sociology major and
president of the Debating Society
from Atlanta Ga.; and Craig
Ford, a Social Science major

Afee associate professor of Social
Science; Dr. F, O. Wiggins,
chairman of the Department of
English: and Miss Althea Mor-
ton, assistant professor of French
were the faculty members.

The team feels that SSC made

The Thanksgiving Fast for Freedom is an inspiring oc-
casion which deserves the support of students on all college
campuses of our nation.

By fasting on the evening of November nineteenth, you
will actively voice your concern to free impoverished families
from the cold and hunger of winter.

This devotion to the less privileged among us has through-
out the years been an integral part of our rich national
heritage as well as a sincere expression of the spirit of
Thanksgiving which abounds in every American heart,

America is by tradition a land of opportunity, and it is
through worthy programs such as this Thanksgiving Fast
for Freedom that we make this revered tradition a living
reality for all our people.

Phi Beta Sigma Fralernily

By Melvin Lester

Back of every Institution or
association lies an Idea. When
ideas change the institution or
association embodying them
changes. Phi Beta Sigma Fra-
ternity is no exception to this
general principle. It was founded
upon the ideas of Brotherhood,
Scholarship and Service.

Part of its heritage is the
whole history of the Greek Letter
Collegiate Societies, which had
their beginning in this country
In the last quarter of the eigh-
teenth century- Phi Beta Sigma
came into existence much later.
It has grown from a small be-
ginning chapter to a national
organization with 154 chapters.

Through the years. Phi Beta
Sigma has carried on various
programs in an effort to proomte
the ideas of the fraternity. Some
of these have been discarded
wholly, whereas others have been
modified to meet the demands
of new situations.

The men of the Gamma Zeta
Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma (Sa-
vannah State College Chapter)
are anticipating a successful
school year under the leadership
of Brother Homer Day, our presi-
dent for the school year 1964-65.

Elected as our Sweetheart for
the year is the very beautiful
and gracious Miss Blondell

Ogden. Miss Ogden is a sopho-
more majoring in Elementary
Education. Her attendants are
Ira Troup and Theresa Tillman.
Dr. J. L. Wilson, the head of
the department of Secondary
Education, is serving as the ad-
visor of the fraternity.

The Social Science Club is
getting off to a good start this
year under the direction of
Delacy Sanford,

On October 28, the club pre-
sented "Meet the Press," a dis-
cussion on the basic issues in
the recent presidential election.
The program was higlily received
by the students and members of
the discussion were invited on
Sunday, November 30. to re-
perform the program at the local
NAACP mass meeting. Informed
sources said it was a "hit" with
older people.

Our president has called for
unity among the members of the
organization, and has pledged
himself to work for the better-
ment of the Social Science Club.

Dr. Herman Sartor, a Professor
of Education, at Savannah State
College, was speaker at the Social

for their children, work in their
homes, restaurants, hotels, etc.
Do we contaminate them in this
way? No, a resounding no! The
white man's mind is confused.

In large cities, such as New
York. Philadelphia, Washington,
and even in some small towns.
the Negro pays exorbitant prices
for rent. Some of the places for
which they pay this rent are
conditions that need the atten-
tion of the U. S, Government.
The sanitary conditions, the
lighting fixtures, the heating
facilities, the ventilation, and
plumbing facilities are very poor.
and yet they are paying exclusive
rent.

Now that the Negro is begin-
ning to wake-up and face the
problems that so exist, he is
trying to do something about
them. He has also been extorted,
but I do feel that he is also being
extorted by his own people, who
are trying to gain quick capital.

I now recall the sit-ins when
they first began, I was a student
at Hampton Institute in Virginia,
For us. as a young people to be-
gin to do something for the
Negro race was considered, and
is considered a great honor.
There were many times when I
participated in these sit-ins. and
it took all of me to keep from
loosing a temper deep inside.
Through the grace and help of
God, I. as well as others were
able to supress these tempers.

There is one question I would
like to ask the individual who
reads this article. Do you believe
in the ethics of God or the
ethics of man? If you obey the
ethics of God then these trivial
ethics that man has put forth
will seem as nothing. One should
not worry about what other
people say about what we are
doing for we will feel what we
are doing is right, and lawful in
the sight of God.

The only way for the Negro
to truly gain firstclass citizen-
ship in America is through
education We. the young
Negroes of today, are advancing
toward those educational aims
so that in the future we shall
and will be able to take our
place rightfully in this society
in which we are a part.

The l{ole of Jouriialisin . . .

JOURNALISM is perhaps the most popular of tlic rising pro-
fessions In today's society. The reason for this is rooted in the fact
that It has a role so very different from other professions. The
major role of Journalism is that of recording and interpreting
events which may be of interest to the public. This alone is a
Herculean task to fuflll. For the journalist must always be rtiindful
that he must inform and record while at the same time be accurate
and unbiased in his reporting and interpretations.

The principles Involved here, are to give information that is
accurate as well as to entertain without being biased or offensive
to the public. Moreover, the journalist has a responsibility of
putting forth efforts to maintain freedom as they report and
interpret.

Truth and a respect for the rights of others must be essential
Ingredients of all attempts to inform and these qualities must be
engrained into the interpreter's value system if they are to appear
in his works When the journalist adequately meets his responsi-
bilities, he serves not only to preserve and interpret human quali-
ties, but he also informs the public, which is a basic service of
the journalist.

We take this time and opportunity to welcome delegates, con-
sultants, journalists and newspapermen to this vast and important
occasion. We hope that the few lines above and the experiences
gained from this institute will instill pride in each of you to uphold
this cause. We pray this will serve as an enhancement to fulfill
your role to the public. Welcome to the Fourteenth Annual South-
ern Regional Press Institute!

New Year's Message From tlie President

As the Winter Quarter of 1965 begins, Mrs. Jordan and I take
this opportunity to wish all Savannali Stateites and friends of the
College every where our best wishes for the most prosperous of
New Years.

The past calendar year was a significant one for the College.
Our physical growth, development, enrollment, and faculty re-
sources progressed at an unprecedented pace, Our curricular pro-
grams were reviewed, evaluated, expanded, and strengthened, Our
services to the College family and to the Savannah community at
large were greater than ever before.

But the past is history. We look forward to even greater
accomplishments in 1065 and in the years ahead. We have now
begun to organize our internal structure and to modify our pur-
poses, aims, and goals. We are engaged, presently, in an extensive
self-study program which will suggest many innovations and im-
provements in the administrative and academic processes. All of
this is being considered with one aim in mind to provide a higher
quality of education from which all of our students can benefit
most. It is our sincere purpose, at the College, to train our students
in such a way that they will go out into the world community
carrying knowledge, skills, and experiences which will help all
people with whom they work to be able to enjoy a better and more
fruitful Hfe.

Savannah State College is striving to develop into a dynamic
institution which will offer the best in modern, purposeful educa-
tion to our students. This calls for hard, dedicated, self-sacrificing
labor. The faculty and staff have accepted the challenge to make
this, our College, a great one in every respect. We confidently
expect that you. the students at the College, will also accept the
challenge to do the very best job possible of utilizing all of the
resources of the College in training yourselves well for the com-
petitive society in which you will work and live.

With the continued support of our alumni, the Regents of the
University System, our faculty, staff, student body, and friends,
Savannah State's great mission will be accomplished

HOWARD JORDAN. JR ,
President.

Images of the ''Great Soriety^^

By Jack Colbert

The President of the United
States in his "State of the
Union" message of January 5,
challenged true democracy when
he spoke before a joint session
of the 89th Congress. Mr. John-
son, who spoke of his plans for
bettering the American way of
life termed his administrative
slogan as the Great Society "
Even though this slogan suggests
a flourishing and contente,d so-
ciety, it is certainly general

enough to be questioned. First of
all, "How is this Great Society
to be accomplished?"

Mr. Johnson's reiteration of
what his administration has re-
solved itself to. for Instance, his
calling upon all nations and
peoples to work and build a

The NEGRO: a Threefold Reflection

1964 hi Retrospect

The Yuletide season has ended
and with its ending it brings to
a close a successful, yet disap-
pointing year. We have seen
many historical events which
must go down in history as out-
standing moments in the life
of mankind.

One of the most outstanding
being the signing of the Civil
Rights Bill, granting the Negro
rights (which are his morally
and legally) that were previously
denied him.

But violence and death, ever-
present foes of mankind, struck
tragically and unexpectedly. In
a hate drenched Mississippi, the
bodies of three courageous men

By Jerome Johnson

lie decaying in the cold earth of
prejudice and hate, because they
remained steadfast in their be-
lief of equality for all men.

The 22nd of November marked
the completion of a year of an
event which shall live in the
hearts of men of goodwill and
peace for centuries to come For
it was on that day one year ago
the beloved 35th President of the
United States, John F Kennedy,
was assassinated.

This man of unlimited energy
in the pursuit of peace and
understanding for all mankind
left behind him a legacy of
perservance for right which shall

ever erupt in the bosom of
generations to come.

It also was a year in which the
Reverend Dr. Martin Luther
King became the tenth Ameri-
can and second American Negro
to win the coveted Nobel Peace
Prize in Its sixty-three years of
existence.

And perhaps most fitting of
all, the year ended on a note of
triumph in our general election
for the presidency of the United
States, in which Lyndon B.
Johnson won over his extremist
opponent. Barry M, Goldwater,
in one of the most dramatic
elections we have had in this
country in many years.

A Challenge to The Citizen

The Negro in the Savannah
and Chatham County area has
been making some progress in
the area of desegregation.
namely, theaters, hotels, motels,
schools, parks, beaches and
restaurants. How was this ac-
complished? It was accomplished
through hard work on the part
of many people and the Negro
leadership organizations within
our community. It has been a
long hard struggle, the fight is
not yet over, for there is much
yet to be done especially in the
area of employment. What good
is the privilege to attend the
places that have been integrated
if we have not the financial
means to do so? This is one of
the major areas of concentration
that we as Negro leaders intend
to enter during the ensuing
months.

The Negro and the white
power structure realize that the
Negro consumer plays an im-
portant part in the economics
of this area, we have been able
to get only token integration in
the hiring of Negroes to better
paying jobs. We have Negro

co-existence." Most recent of
these, is the late John F. Ken-
nedy, who said, "Let us exhaust
every avenue for peace. Let us
always make clear our willing-
ness to talk."

Perhaps the most significant
aspect of the President's "Great
Society" lies in the call for a
substantial cut in excise taxes
that will allow an increase in
our growing economy. His plans
in this area, are summarized in
the balanced budget proposed to
maintain a flourishing economy.

Other interesting aspects of
the "Great Society" include Mr.
Johnson's proposals for doubling
the war against poverty, his ap-
peals for medical care for the
aged, his concern for the en-
forcement of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964. his appeals for the
new immigration law. and his
concernment about expansion of
the present regional medical
centers.

These proposals which are the
dreanis of millions of Americans,
without a duobt. will win the
support of the people if they are
enacted into laws.

Another interesting proposal
is the one iri which the President
plans to ask Congress to grant
scholarships for students of
great potentials, promise and
needs to enroll and continue
their studies in college.

In spite of these flourishing
proposals, the question thus re-
mains, "How is this 'Great So-
ciety' to be accomplished?" Can
it be accomplished and still per-
mit our nation to be a democ-
racy, i.e.. a free government,
without forfeiting our principles
and beliefs for something worse?

By Otis Lorenzo Heyward
policemen, firemen and buj
drivers, but this is not enough,
for it only affects a small per-
centage of the overall Negro
community. What we need to do
is institute a program that will
affect the entire populace of the
minority race (Negroid). We
need a program in which the
minimum wage law will be en-
forced in all avenues of employ-
ment, not only for Negroes, but:
also for whites a program that
will encompass the domestic help
and all laborers.

In the Savannah area and
other sections of tlie United
States, it is very difficult for a
Negro to obtain a job. even if
he is qualified for the position
This situation breeds psycho-
logical frustration. The white
man needs only a high school
education for many jobs. The
Negro needs much, a college edu-
cation and then he still may be
defeated. It is then surmised
that the Negro high school
graduate is not equally qualified
to the white worker. If this is
true, then it is a factor that has
been caused by the unequal edu-
cation that the Negi-o has been
given. This is the reason that we

have been fighting so hard for
the desegregation of schools.
This is also the reason that more
Negroes should enroll in previ-
ously all-white schools and why
parents should talk to their
school officials about the up-
grading of the education facili-
ties that are available to Negroes,
Must a Negro have a college edu-
cation to be equal to a wiiite
high school graduate?

It has been necessary for
members of the Negro Leader-
ship Organizations to talk to
members of the white business
community about their employ-
ment practices. In a conversa-
tion, one member of a firm said.
"If you people will send me
qualified individuals, we will see
about hiring them." This is not
the purpose of these organiza-
tions. The white businessmen
should go about the same
method in hiring Negroes as he
does the white, and inaugurate
impartial employment practices.
The Negroes of the new age,
those who are a part of the new
social order, are dissatisfied
with the status quo that the
whites feel necessary for the
Negro community.

Another Year Aivaits

By Robert L, Joiner, Jr.

The commemoration of the
birth of Christ has reached its
heights and another year awaits
this tradition.

Before that time, the Negro
should think seriously of wliat
he can do for his country as a
race.

Will he win America anotlier
Nobel Peace Prize or will he ad-
vocate the signing of another
CiVil Rights Bill?

Little Problems

Even if nothing historic is
achieved by the Negro, there arc
little problems that he can help
solve.

Illiteracy among Negroes is
very high. There are too many
Negroes who can neither read
nor write. Surely these people
ask for a life of decorum. But
their illiteracy is an impediment.
It keeps them from descent jobs
It robs them of an average
American life. Illiteracy, in short,
is like a communicable disease
unless it is isolated and dealt
with, it will spread.

Juvenile delinquency is a
serious problem. It is not un-
usual to pick up a paper and
read of a lad who has committed
a crime. It is folly to under-
estimate the future of juvenil?

Press

Delegates!

deliquency. Therefore, the situ-
ation necessitates immediate ac-
tion, and the Negro can play a
major role in helping to solve
the problem of deliquency.
Solutions

There is no one answer to any
of these problems, but some
solutions tend to work better
than others.

Perhaps local programs for the
illiterate could be adopted. Then
better jobs would substitute for
unemployment; education would
substitute for ignorance and
illiteracy would become obsolete.
As I see it, illiterate Negroes
have no real position in our com-
plex society. But it is not too
late to reverse the reaction.

Juvenile delinquency among
Negroes, in the past, was prob-
ably due to inadequate culture
and social facilities. Now that
the Negro is able to enjoy a
fuller culture and social life, he
should take advantage of the
opportunity. Negroes, who are
educated, could stimulate others,
through a series of programs, to
learn to appreciate the fine arts.
This is not, however, a program
that will greet success overnight,
but if it is well supported,
progress would be unlimited.

While the White House at-
tempts to solve the Viet Nam
Crisis, the Negro should ask him-
self what he can do for his
country.

Another year awaits his plans.
Will he continue?

tecture. She said. "I chose this
major because houses have
always had a special meaning to
me and they are symbols of
love,"

Miss Ranson did her high
school work at the Archbishop
Hugh Memorial High School of
New York City, and is the
daughter of Mr, Charles A. Reid
of Augusta, Georgia. Her am-
bition is to work with a large
engineering firm as a designer.

Student Council Reviews 1964

By Jimmy Stepherson
President. Student Council

As the fall quarter for the
academic term 1964-65 ends, the
student council pauses for a
restrospective look at its past
accomplishments and to en-
lighten the student body of the
same.

Our first project was the tra-
ditional one. which was home-
coming. The student council in
conjunction with the homecom-
ing committee performed the
task of arranging the parade
and constructing Miss Savannah
State's float. The coronation was
the sole project of the Student
Council. All together the student
council spent approximately
S400.00 for this project.

This year the students at Sa-
vannah State College partici-
pated in balloting on a national
and state level in a greater num-
ber than in any previous year-
Students away from home were
introduced to absentee balloting
through leaflets distributed by
the student council. We hail this
project as a great success.

The Fast for Freedom program
was designed to raise funds to
pm-chase foods to be distributed
throughout poverty stricken
areas in Mississippi and other
parts of the South, to deprived
and needy Negro families. The
results were posted on various
bulletin boards from each in-

of $193-65. We consider this a
valuable and worthwhile con-
tribution and experience for Sa-
vannah State College.

The Student Council also
sponsored a petition which was
sent to the government of South
Africa, which has a subtle and
undemocratic policy of racial
segregation and non-academic
freedom for the students. On this
petition we solicited 966 names.
This accomplishment served as
a blow by the Savannah State
College students to the obsolete
practice by certain groups to
dominate and misuse other
groups for their own selfish and
wrongful gains.

During the course of this
quarter, the student council has
for the first time become a
financial member of a national
organization. This organization
is the United States National
Student Association. Membership
dues in this association are
$79,50 per year for an institution
of our size. This organiztrtion
sponsors informative programs
in the form of correspondence
and campus visitation by it's of-
ficers so that all member schools
will have the opportunity to gain
knowledge on a national basis.
Tlius far, there have been two
delegates sent to our campus to
discuss a possible student ex-
change program and more
privileges for dormitory women,
among many other subjects.
Presidents of all campus organ-
izations were assembled, by tha
president of the student council,
to meet and exchange ideas with
Mike and Patricia of the
U.S.N.S.A.

There are other projects which
the student council is working
on, or has finished.

Anyone wishing to see a mem-
ber of the student council may
come by the student council's
office at room 219, Hill Hall.

SSCV Librarian
Writes Article For
Library Journal

Elonnie J. Josey, librarian at
Savannah State College, wrote
an article entitled. "A Mouthful
of Civil Rights and an Empty
Stomach." for the Library
Journal. The article dealt mainly
with a survey of the number of
professional Negro librarians
employed by Southern public
libraries.

Questionnaires were sent to
270 public libraries listed in the
Acess to Public Libraries. Of the
270 questionnaires mailed in
early July 1964. 103 (38.1 per-
cent) were returned by Septem-
ber 1964.

The outcome of the survey was
that too few libraries employ
professional Negro librarians at
the Central branch in their
library system.

Josey stated, in his article,
that the findings of this survey
leave much to be desired.

In his closing, Josey said:
"These replies represent a few
rays of hope, but there is a
pressing need for much more
than a glimmer of hope. The
task of eradication of discrimi-
nation in employment in south-
ern public libraries is urgent, and
is still ahead of us in many
areas."

CHIEF CONSULTANTS Dr. Louis J. Corsetti, Professor of
JournalLsm and Director, Duquesne University's Journalism Associa-
tion; and Dr. H. I. Fontellio-Nanton. Dean of Allen University.

Fashions For Men Women's Fashions Marshall Board

CL

in FAS

BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, esquires Fashion Di.-:tor

THE FABRIC STORY f<.r 1965 is only slightly less en^'iossing: than
the heroic exploits of Secret Agent 007. And chances are, its impact
will be felt long after James Bond takes his place beside Tarzan
as one of the great folk heroes of our time. As s-t-r-e-t-c-h fabrics
begin to spread to the limits of the fashion horizon, it's high time
we filled you in on the significance particularly on the campus
Ecenc of this cxciling fashion innovation.

|K*^TANT ACTION is what daredevil ski slopes
call for. And the demand for instant action ski
pants a few years ago spurred on the quest for
II lightweight, flexible fabric. The outcome was
the discovery of stretch fabrics. In keeping with
the spirit of the modern approach, manufac-
turers used expandable fibers to create trim,
lightweight slacks in wool and cotton polyestei-
blends. The wlnd-reaistant comfort and ease of
the resultant skiwear was bound to rarry over
into other items of men's apparel. Thu3, the
fashion industry moved in to adopt and adapt
stretch fabrics from their primary, functional
uses in ski jackets, parkas and pants. And thus
occurred the exciting breakthrough that is just
beginning to permeate the fashion industry.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY let's take a sneak preview of the up-coming

infilti'atioii of stretch fabrics on the campus scene. This trend is
very much at its inception on campus; many college men know
nothing about it. However, for you forward-thinking, fashion-
conscious men, here's the scoop. The Natural Shoulder silhouette,
which continues to be the outstanding favorite, is about to be hit by
the stretch invasion. The all-over ease and casual elegance of the
Natural Shoulder blends perfectly with the easy-fitting flexibility
of stretch libers, Jackets continue to be cut on straight-hanging
lines with center vents, flapped pockets, and narrow, medium length
lapels. Trousers are trim, pleatless and tapered.

THE NEW DIMENSION , stKtch couples .vith

the popular button-down collar shirt still the
campus frontrunner to create a new trim look.
The introduction of the slightly elastic, non-
binding collar, and the body-shaped styling
r^ i \ jlj effectively eliminates old-fashioned puffy sags

WJ * ' ' J and the inherent sloppiness of crinkled collars.
I , ' |1 The advantage of stretch fibers in rainwear is

^ I ~^ . , ill a largely functional one. Moisture in the air
tends to be absorbed by fabrics and cause them
to cling. Thus, a raincoat blended with expandable fibers creates a
new dimension in flexible comfort for the wearer.

THE Sl'JEATER SCENE l,a yet to feel the im-
pact of the stretch explosion. Yet the picture
here has become more interesting as attention
is focused on the popular loop stitch which h.is
had so much prominence in recent years among /
golfers and other sportsmen. The loop stitch
complements the Cardigan especially well, cre-
ating a three-dimensional effect that's most
pleasing to the eye. Colors are bolder and more
positive than formerly. Vibrant reds and con-
trasting grays will be common. Strong blues
with border treatments in yellow will be outstanding. Orange casts,
rich golden tones, and bright greens make new additions. Of course,
a fashion must in any wardrobe is a sweater in the light natural tan
shades. Its versatility complements all the items of casualwear. and
makes it a const.^nt favorite.

Next month, as winter's grip is loosened by the blustery March
winds, we'll herald spring with a run-down of the new trends and
innovations in dress-up suits for spring and summer. See you then.

By Robert Brown
What's happening in men's
fashion? You mean you don't
know? Men can consider them-
selves down-right sharp if their
outfit includes a charcoal black
or pecan brown leather coat.
Both the short leather jacket
and the three-quarter length
coat are popular. All it takes to
add a spark of importance to
your looks is a narrow rim hat
with a large band and a small
feather.

The dicky has replaced the
ascot for the rugged and strenu-
ous men. Men with that business
look, and those wearing old-
fashion knots in their ties, still
dress leisurely with the ascot.
And yes, they still look good.

For tho.se of you who cannot
keep up with the modern
fashion. Important Information
for you too The average man's
clothing is inadequate for the
job of keeping him warm in
winter, says a report in January
issue of Science Digest Magazine.
Usually less stylish clothes are
the warmest, but if you just can't
get any clothes at all. then
follow these easy steps and you
will keep warm during these cold
winter days.

1. Wear a hat. Your head is
the biggest heat leaker on the
body.

2. Keep on the move. Your
body produces four times as
much heat walking as it does
when you are sitting.

3. Don't get overheated, keep
your temperature as constant as
you can.

4. Protect your most vulnerable
spots face, feet and hands.
They are the most exposed parts.
Discomfort to them can drive
you indoors, although the rest
of your body is warm.

5. Close openings around
ankles, wrists and neck because
wind will blow in, and warm air
escapes out.

The average man probably will
not find a stylish outfit to meet
these stipulations, but these
steps will keep him warm.

By Jean Stewart

As the new year edges onward,
each day is becoming important
with so many events to look for-
ward to. Before long, your calen-
dar will be chock ablock with
various engagements. I would
definitely advise you to begin
now to plan your Spring ward-
robe since the warm months are
so rapidly approaching.

A look ahead to Spring in-
dicates that we can look for such
newsmakers in the fashion world
as longer jackets which will give
a new snap to suits, more two-
color scheming, the "big-zip
look." and new pinks.

Look ahead to spring and start
your school collection with a
basic, easy fitting dress with
short sleeves or sleeveless
I whichever you prefen for clasi.

The fashion forecast indicates
that come Spring, we can all
look for longer jackets which
will give a new scoop to suits
(Chances are that the jackets
will be belted low and will be
worn with pleated or straight
skirts.)

Madamemoiselle suggests that
the big zip as one of the sights
and sounds for Spring '65. This
means that many of the coats
and suits you purchase will fea-
ture pockets sealed with zippers
How about that!

Various shades of pink will
again dominate the color scene
as has happened many times in
the past. However, pink will take
on a new look called pink ink
or insplashed pinks. The message
transmitted here is in the form
of pink tweed, signed with ink-
blue strokes. Got it? Get it!

Cleniiiioiis to Make
Math .Aiiiioiiiiceineiit

John B. Clemmons. head of
the department of mathematics
announces that he has received
information concerning the ap-
pointment of recent graduates
of SSC in the mathematics
division.

Clemmons said that this news
release will serve the purpose of
informing students of the differ-
ent opportunities offered in
mathematics and methods used
to attain these lucrative po-
sitions.

Lt't's Obey the Signs

There are many different signs
of many different shapes and
sizes. Sometimes we obey signs
and sometimes we do not. For
the time being we are concerned
with the signs on the campus.
It seems that since the signs are
on campus, the students think
they should not be obeyed. The
signs on the campus should be
obeyed just as one would obey
a sign that is posted in the city
or any other place. For the
safety and beautification of our
campus, let's obey the signs that
are posted on the campus. Pay
strict attention to the signs that
say, "Don't Be a Litter Bug." We
have been tabbed as having one
of the cleanest campuses in the
South, let's keep it that way!

Savanuali State College Sunday
School Urges Student Participation

By Jacqueiyn Ryles
There are three areas of a persons life which must be developed
if he is to achieve fulfillment in his or her life. These are the
mental, physical and spiritual portions of our lives.

The mental portion of his life
is developed through education.
The physical portion of his life
is developed by exercising of
bodies daily and eating proper
foods. The spiritual portion of
his life is developed by our good
conduct, kindly attitudes, love
for mankind and a strengthen-
ing of our faith in God.

The Savannah State College
Sunday School is organized to
present before the student body
and give them the opportunity
to strengthen their spiritual
development. The Sunday School
meets each Sunday and brings
before the student body an op-
portunity to examine and receive
the written word of God. The
Sunday School has chosen the
following officers for 1964-65:
Jesse Hagans, Superintendent ;
Willie C. Smith. Assistant Super-
intendent; Artis McCray. Secre-
tary; Lucille Brock. Assistant
Secretary; Ithamus Studgeon,

Is Organized

Among the many functioning
organizations on our campus.
there is also a group of young
ladies always present at our
cultural, religious and other ac-
tivities on the campus. This
group is known as the Marshall
Board. The Marshall Board is
always there with willing and
able assistance.

We have chosen very capable
officers for the school year 1964-
1965. They are: President, Vere-
lene Brown, a junior majoring
in Sociology, from Metter. Geor-
gia; Vice President, Bernell
Mitchell, a junior majoring in
Business Education, from Cairo,
Georgia; Secretary. Esther Clay-
ton, a junior majoring in Ele-
mentary Education, Greenville,
Georgia; Treasurer, Chartis Al-
good. a junior majoring in Ele-
mentary Education, from Trion,
Georgia; and Reporter. Mary L.
Pace, a sophomore majoring in
Elementary Education, from
Dublin, Georgia.

These officers were installed
by Mrs, Doll Miller, head of the
New Women's Dormitory.

The purpose of the Marshall
Board is to serve dihgentiy,
faithfully and willingly at all
school functions.

We are always glad to have
interested persons join us.

Advisor, Miss Davis
Reporter, Mary Pace

Reporter; Mary Armstrong,
Pianist and Dr, J, L. Wilson.
Advisor.

By so doing we hope that this
will in some small measure help
each of us to come closer to the
realization that without God in
our lives, we can never have
complete happiness.

It is the hope of the Sunday
Sciiool that more members of
the student body would fellow-
ship with us each Sunday morn-
ing so that they too may come
to a fuller realization of the life
which God would have us lead.

During 1964. the Sunday School
has given three baskets to needy
families. Also on the first and
third Sundays, we have served
coffee and doughnuts to its
participants.

The doors of the Sunday
School are opened from 9:00 to
10:00 A.M , which is the time we

Dr. Pratt to Serve
;On Committee

By Juanita Myers
Chemistry department head,
Dr. Charles Pratt, has been
selected by the National Science
Foundation to serve on an evalu-
ation committee of proposals for
school grants. The committee
will meet in New Orleans on
February 18-19. The main duty
of the committee will be to cite
a sufficient need for a grant in
the requisition of the various
institutions. The final decision
is left in the hands of the Na-
tional Science Foundation.

These science grants are given
on a half basis where the schools
must match the amounts given
to them. These grants help pro-
vide the essential materials
needed in the science depart-
ments. Savannah State has re-
ceived several of these grants in
the past.

Homeroom Method In Use
A trial program to promote
interest among freshmen and
sophomore Chemistry majors has
been initiated. Discussion groups
are held one hour a week with
students and their advisors. The
students are given a chance to
join in on an informal discussion
of topics that might not be
covered in the normal class time.
It is hoped that the student will
receive information that iie
might not ordinarily receive.
Seminars are held for all of the
students with a credit of 1-3
hours offered to the juniors and
seniors,

meet, each Sunday morning in
Meldrim Auditorium.

Christ said, "This people
draweth nigh unto me with their
mouth, and hovoureth me with
their lips; but their heart is far
from me," Let us hope that you
are not one who says he believes
in God and yet is not willing to
give only one hour of service a
week for all the blessings which
God our Saviour has bestowed
upon you.

Students, Will You Help Us?

Our record does not indicate
the type of playing that has been
exhibited by the players on the
basketball team, for we have
played some outstanding games
against some well - rounded
teams, and then again we have
looked pretty bad against some
teams that we should have
beaten by just showing up to
play.

In spite of our present record,
we are among the leaders in our
conference, as we liave lost only
two conference games. Our con-
ference record is three wins and
two losses.

To the regret of the entire
basketball team, two of our mo.st
versatile players are not with u.-
this quarter because of then
academic standards. The mem-
bers of the basketball team tip
their hats to Jimmy Burke, whn
was one of our leading scorei-
and as of the statistical surv(.'\
taken before the Christmas holi-
days, ranked fifth in the nation
in scoring percentage amonu
small colleges. We tip our hats
too. to Walter Fulton who wa.s
one of our leaders in rebounding
and scoring.

The Savannah State Tigers
started the season at a slow
pace, gradually rose and then
declined. Thus far we have
played the following colleges :
South Carolina State, Bethune-
Cookman. Florida Memorial,
South Carolina Area Trade. Fort
Valley State and Albany. The
scores will appear respectively to
the colleges above.

We. the members of the
basketball team, and our coach.
Leo Richardson, are looking
forward to our remaining ten
games and the S.E.A.C. tourna-
ment with great anticipation. So
until we meet again via sports

remember, fellow students first,

Ol the Month

Vernon iSharkskini Jennings
as he is sometimes called, has
been chosen to be our sports per-
sonality of the month, Vernon
is a 1963 graduate of Alfred E.
Beach High School, where he did
not participate in varsity basket-
ball- Because of this and the fact
that Vernon has done a remark-
able job on the college level, lie
was selected for this honor. On
the basketball team Vernon
plays guard and he has proven
to be our best ball handler and
playmaker. At present Vernon is
hitting the nets at a ten point
clip a game and his average is
steadily rising.

Vernon is a sophomore major-
ing in mathematics. His secret
to success might well be due to
his vast store of mathematical
calculation.

Let us. the student body, give
three cheers to a well deserving
fellow student.

Home Economics
Inducts Two Into
College Chapter

By Alvernia Smith

The members of the Home
Economics orientation class ex-
tends greetings to new members
of this sacred organization.

We are very happy to have
joined this Department and are
looking fofward to three more
enjoyable years.

We were inducted into the Sa-
vannah State College Chapter of
tlie American Home Economics
Association by our president,
Drucilla Johnson. Two of our
group had the honor of being
elected officers in our college
chapter.

We were thrilled to have taken
part in one of the outstanding
yearly events of the Home
Economics Department, the 1964
Christmas Bazaar,

For our quarter's examination
the class presented an original
skit, "A Dream of Careers In
Home Economics" written by
Annie Bynes. Ruley Cooper and
Lenett Alston, We also visited
the Savannah Morning News
Plant to broaden our perspective
of the newer combination fields
with Home Economics.

said.

While applicants may be either
married or single upon entry
into the service, none may have
dependents under 18 years of
age. Each applicant must either
be a citizen of the United States
or have filed a letter of intent
to become a citizen.

Among the qualifications for

THE TIGER'S ROAR

January -February. 1965

The Imperative of

Space Exploration

By Dr. Wernher von Braun
Director of National Aeronautics
and Space Administration. Mar-
siiall Space FJlght Center: Born
in Germany and educated at the
University of Berlin receiving a
B.S. and doctorate in pliysics.

America is now more than half
way to the moon in Project
Apollo. We are over the hump,
and gaining momentum daily.

Does this statement seem far-
fetched, when it will be years
before our three astronauts will
blast off for the moon from Cape
Kennedy? Not at ail. when you
consider that Project Apolio is
not the sum and substance of
our entire space program.

The manned lunar landings
will simply demonstrate the
growing ability of the United
States to sail on "'the new ocean
of space"

When Lindbergh soloed the
ALIantlc, Paris was his destina-
tionbut his objective was to
demonstrate a trans-Atlantic air
capability.

The moon is our cosmic Paris.

And the capability that will
put us there began to form years
ago in the development of
modern ballistic missiles. The
Saturn launch vehicle program
itself started in 1958, And de-
velopment of the 1.5 million
pound thrust F-1 engines began
in January. 1959.

Project Apollo will use the
Saturn V plus an enormous com-
plex of laboratory, manufactur-
ing, transportation, test, launch,
and tracking facilities. Most of
these facilities are completed or
are well along in construction.
Launch vehicle and spacecraft
hardware is being built and
tested. Astronauts have been
selected and are in training.

While we are hard at work on
Li tight 10-year schedule. Apollo
is not a crash program We are
not working on an around-the-
clock basis with unlimited
spending, wiiich usually accom-
panies a crash defense project
such as development of the
atomic bomb.

I believe the pace of Apollo is
consistent with the abilities of
the nation's industrial and scien-
tific might.

The road to the moon is
definitely long and hazardous.

NASA has never attempted to
minimize the difficulties of the
journey, or to make It sound too
easy. But we believe the week-
long trip can be made with less
danger to the astronauts than
that faced by many weekend
motorists We did not send
astronauts into space in Project
Mercury until all predictable
risks had been reduced to an
acceptable minimum. We have
not abandoned this policy. Safety
and well-being of the crew is
the first consideration in the
upcoming Projects Gemini and
Apollo.

Extensive studies are being
made by instrumented probes of
meteoroids and radiation in
space and the characteristics of
the moon's surface in prepara-
tion for the manned lunar land-
ings.

The United States has a lead-
ing role in one of the great tides
of human history. The cost of
our space research in money and
brainpower will be dwarfed by
the ultimate returns in knowl-
edge, resources, and wonder.

We have crossed the threshold
of space with boldness and firm-
ness of purpose. Let us not waver
in our determination until we
have searched out all the in-
triguing mysteries of the ma-
jestic universe about us

Teen-Age Matrimony: Does It Bring
Joyous Voyage or Sea of Troubles?

A boy of 18 or 19 has no busi-
ness picking a wife for a man
of 26,

Amid a plethora of scholarly
advice and solemn warnings, this
statement strikes us as one of
the most cogent reasons we've
encountered for avoiding teen-
age marriage.

Behind the advice lie several
facts of life largely ignored by
youngsters who gaily trip to the
altar before they may legally
enter a voting booth. These are
detailed in a November Reader's
Digest article by Anthony West.
Among them are the following.

1. A man does not grow up
all in one piece. Character
usually develops last, far behind
sexual maturity. Most men do
not really understand them-
selves, much less what life is all
about, until they are somewhere
between 26 and 28. A teen-ager
picking a wife thus uses vastly
different criteria than he might
employ a few years later.

2. Most girls mature four or
five years ahead of men. A girl
of 19 will probably become a
woman at 22 or 23. But the man

she marries may still be Im-
mature at that age. The qualities
that appealed to her in the boy
she married are certain to be
far less attractive a few years
later.

3. Teen-age marriages are less
able than most to withstand
economic stress. Rare is the
teen-age couple that can live
comfortably without relying on
parents for financial help. Yet
such reliance reduces marriage
to "playing house at someone
else's expense," in the author's
view.

4, During the insecure teens,
most boys tend to choose girls
who don't pose too much compe-
tition in the way of brains. Such
a choice can make for an un-
bearably empty life later on.

To many young people, em-
barking on the sea of matrimony
seems the beginning of a joyous
adventure. The Digest article
suggests, however, that if the
passengers aren't properly pre-
pared for the voyage, they can
easily become victims of the
storms that almost always beset
such journeys. Reader's Digest,

"FREEDOM IS OUR GOAL'

Lei There Be Farewell to Complacency!

Tlie interest of SSC students in signing a petition urging Presi-
dent Johnson's intervention in the Selma registration-to-vote drive,
is a move that deserves praise. It is certainly hoped that each
petitioner signed on the basis of concern and seriousness.

In spite of the questlonability of some not signing on this basis.
certainly each student enrolled at SSC should be cognizant of the
injustices practiced in Alabama. However, at the same time, this
mere cognizance of the situation should not be viewed or over-
weighed by an attitude of nonchalance, apathy and complacency.

Expressed, in other words, it is hoped that each student who
aided in the signing, did sign, not because he will be able to boast
that he was a part of sending a petition to the President of the
United States urging action which he cares less about, or because
he saw the name of his friend(si listed among others on the
petition, but it is hoped that every student signed because he feels
tliat the conditions in Selma and the teachings of the George
Wallace's clan of segregationists are morally and spiritually evil
for the American people, and therefore, this intolerable evil
institution should be corrected.

It was not asked that the petition be signed on the basis of
'merely getting signers." nor is this the kind of signatures needed.
Revalent to this, the prevalent attitude of SSC students in the past
has been one of "me-tooism" without responsible concernment for
actions affecting us. It is time we rid ourselves of these attitudes!

In view of the successful accomplishment in gaining nearly
one thousand signatures for the petition, and this is encouraging,
it also makes one wonder why a meager number of eleven students
could not be gathered to represent SSC in the Selma voter registra-
tion drive when hundreds of students from other colleges and uni-
versities across the country were beaten brutally for this divine
right of aiding Negroes to obtain the right to vote. Even though
SSC did have one student to represent it in the sti-uggle, there is
no excuse for the complacency of nearly twelve hundred other
students!

The petition sent to President Johnson is but a small part of
what SSC students can do to promote human rights, and it should
be praised.

The throng has long been clashed for our commitment to this
human cause. Let us rid ourselves of this complacency and accept
our responsibilities to our nation and to our school.

The Need For Scholarly Pui-suit
Outside of the Classroom

By Delacy W. Sanford
Too often students are satis-
fied mainly with the materials
they cover in class. There is a
lack on this campus of one of
the most important weapons of
man, that is. initiative.

I realize in writing tliis article
I will draw criticism from both
sides of the fence. But I also
realize in writing the truth, it
hurts. Most of us are eager to
sit down and listen to the faults
of others, but whenever the ball
has been turned on them some-
how the description just doesn't
fit us, according, of course, to
our opinion.

If we were to take a poll of
students of Savannah State Col-
lege on books and magazines
read outside of the classroom
the results would be shocking. I

am willing to say that about
40% of the students here at Sa-
vannah State College have heard
of Brenton's Tileas and Men,
John F. Kennedy's Profile in
Courage, Rousseau's Social Con-
tract, Locke's Treatise on Gov-
ernment, the Federalist Papers
and periodical literature related
to their special fields. Out of
the 40% only 157o have read two
of the above named works.

I can say without prejudice
because I am a student. I am
one of you. I know wliat goes
on inside of me and I liave a
good idea what goes on inside
of you. I would like to say what-
ever it is that makes us content
with only getting by. let's get
rid of it before it gets rid of us.
We can only hurt ourselves if
we continue the way we are
going.

to Montgomery and Birming-
ham, Alabama to get supplies.

Why should there be a Berlin
Wall in Selma, Alabama to keep
the hateful and prejudiced from
crossing the line?

Why should the demonstrators
have to stay out in the streets
ail niglit. eat cold ham sand-
wiches, drink coffee, and sleep
in the church on the floor,
benches, and tables.

From the active part taken by
the white in Selma. it was shown
that the white citizens desire to
be free just as the Negroes.

We must realize that the cost
of freedom is high and the cost
of killing a freedom fighter is
even higher. One day. we must

collect for this debt, by becom-
ing free. Instead of saying we
shall overcome, we can say we
have overcome. In our hearts
we must want to be free and be
sincere about it. We must let
"Mr. Charlie" know that we are
tired of his injustice.

Think of the sacrifice of Rev.
James Reeb. He believed and
lived Patrick Henry's admoni-
tion. "Give me Liberty or Give
me Death."

TWO VIEWS ON EDUCATION

The Value of
All Ediieatioii

By Kermit Kemp

It has been noticed that the
young people of today place very
little value on their education.
It is through education, formal
and informal, that the young
person comes to know what his
society cherishes. By means of
education, the young are pre-
pared to take part in the
perpetuation and the further
development of knowledge and
of ideals.

An education is a thing of
great value and only a person
who applies himself can achieve
it. An education has not always
been a necessity; it was once a
luxury.

A person could once live very
well with only a high school
education or less; but in todays
society a formal education is
almost a must; in fact, in days
to come, a formal education will
be the only way a person can
achieve what we would call a
fairly good living.

It is through constant work
and perserverance that a per-
son with the determination can
achieve his goal. A formal edu-
cation should be the goal of
every person wdth the ability,
and he must strive to develop
it to its extreme.

The Value of
All Education

By Halloway Benjamin

The value of an education
plays a particular part in our
life. It helps to better prepare
us for the challenges of the
world that we encounter in our
daily lives, while also offering
worthwhile opportunities for ad-
vancement in vocational select-
ing, financial status, and the
cause upon which humanity is
based.

The values of education are
unlimited. Many people seek
knowledge as their primary
objective, which should always
be the most important factor
that binds leadership among our
fellowmen. Still otiiers seek
financial security which enables
one to live according to one's
financial status.

The values of education may
enlighten one's life with job
opportunities. One can visit
distant places and see some of
the more cultural aspects of life.
One may be justified to know
that he is making a worthwhile
contribution to humanity by
sharing his knowledge and
ability with others.

The values on an education
cannot be corroborated by the
amount of luxury, security, and
extravagant extremes one may
encounter; but only by the
ability, leadership, character,
and pursuit one can exemphfy.

The House of
Wasteful Houi-s

By Joyce Byrant
On the campus of Savannah
State College is a big white,
three-story house. The occupants
of this house are of many differ-
ent shapes, colors, and classifica-
tion. The interior decorations
consist of a snack bar; machines
of cookies, candies, and cigar-
ettes; a juke box; and tables
and chairs.

The second and third floors of
this house are used for the im-
provement of the mind: there,
one may find a music room for
listening to the educational and
classical music available and
rooms for teaching other educa-
tional subjects.

The main floor and the one
most completely occupied is the
first floor. Here, you find people
with nothing to do but, sit
around, talk, and listen to the
most popular music of the day.
On this floor many hours are
wasted doing nothing construc-
tive doing nothing that would
benefit a person in aiming for a
higher education. Many of these
wasteful hours could be spent
in the House of Knowledge (the
library), instead of tlie House of
Wasteful Hours the student
center.

Beauty Dept, Aids
In Hair Fashion

By Gienda L, Bens

When it comes to pretty hair
styles, it's very hard to choose
a wmner. Knowing that one
never wants her hair to look
"second best," but to the ideal
of perfection; the surest secret
of a winning hairdo is the re-
sult of a wide variety of tips that
are so easily done and require
only a few moments daily.

All girls agree that manage-
able shapely hair requires regular
professional haircuts. Secondly,
"the prettiest hair is always
clean and shining." Shampoos
should be used weekly or more
often if hair is oily. In addition
to that, every girl should own
two or three hair brushes in
order to give hair spring, body,
and luster; to tease hair for a
softer and more natural effect;
and to give a smooth Ime or lift.

Follow these tips girls and I'm
almost certain that your next
hair style will be a "winner,"

Beaver Award by the Boy Scouts
of America. This is the highest
award given to a citizen for
services in the Scout Program,
and was the third such award
given to Mr. Clemmons by the
Boy Scouts of America.

Seven years ago Mr Clemmons
was given the Scout Master's
Key and in 1963 he was given
the honor of Scout of the Year
at the Scouts annual banquet-
Mr. Clemmons has worked very
closely with the scouting pro-

whenever possible.

So far this policy has been
very successful. Mr. Clemmons
said that our "math-majors" are
being taken in such fields as
governmental services, Industries
of all sort and the teaching field.
They are being hired by such
well known companies as IBM,
FBI, NASA. U. S. Weather. Boltic
Missiles, Space engineering com-
panies, Naval Observatories and
many others.

Mr. Clemmons said the Mathe-
matics Department has more job
offerings than they are able to
fill. He said that most of the
15 graduates who will graduate
in June will be able to go to
jobs they were offered before
graduating.

ASK A STUDENT

By Walker Durham

There have been a lot of dis-
cussions about the student and
teacher relationship here at SSC.
Some of the students think that
it could be Improved, and some
think it Is o.k, the way it Is. In
view of this, "What do you think
of the student and teacher re-
lationship at SSC?"

Patricia A. West I think that
the relationship between the
teacher and student on SSC
campus comes about as a two-
way street meaning the re-
sponsibility Is on behalf of the
student as well as the teacher.

Harold Singleton I think the
teacher - student relationship
here Is not good at all I feel
that the teachers here think be-
cause they are Dr.'s and what
have you they are a little better
than human beings..

Corine Capers The relation-
ship between the students and
teachers is very much needed to
be improved. The blame is not
placed on one, but both groups
in question, I think a better
means of communication Is
needed,

Leonard Jones There Is no
student-teacher relationship as
such at Savannah State College.
This Is, In my opinion, needed
for the current progressive
movement of the school. Until
there is an improvement In this
area, thei-e will always be this
feeling of friction between the
two groups.

James Sapp There i.s very

little real contact between the
faculty and student body of this
Institution This situation needs
to be remedied If this institution
is to reach the height of in-
tellectual achievements that it
Is capable of.

Sandra Blvens The student-
teacher relationship is not as
close as It could be. 1 think more
personal conferences would help
a great deal. The real fault Is
that some teachers are biased.

Bertha Mays I think that the
student- teacher relationship at
Savannah State College Is fairly
good. However, It can be Im-
proved, If upper classmen would
refrain fron\ Influencing fresh-
men and sophomores In the
choice and opinions of teachers.
there will be a great Improve-
ment In this area.

Total School

Health Class

Acquires

New Experiences

By LllUe M. Kyles.
Minnie Thompson

The Total School Health Class
has acquired a great deal of In-
formation and Insight during
the winter quarter. At the be-
ginning of the quarter, the class
was divided Into seven groups.
Each group was responsible for
presentations that would reveal
Information about Us assigned
topic. Ech group discussed Its
topic through a skit, quiz show,
or panel discussion, Invited a
speaker, and showed films con-
cerning Its topic. The group
topics and their speakers werf
as follows:

Group I. Birth Defects Mrs.
Santos.

Group II. Mosquito Control
A Community Health Problem-
Mr. Fultz,

Group III, Dr. Wesley Ball.

Group IV. Control of Sewage
and Waste Disposal Mr. Rho-
ven

Group V. Mental Heailh Dr.
McPhaddcr.

-Mr.

Group VI Tuberculosis -

Leftwich.

Group VII. Health Instruction
Mr. Floyd Morris,

Each group did an excellent
Job Mrs, Abernathy, instructor
of the class, deserves much of
the credit as she motivated the
class to put forth effort in order
that noteworthy contributions
might be made. She also assisted
the groups in various ways.

Other Total School Health Ac-
tivities included working with
flannel boards outlining class-
room situations, making charts
which depicted the basic health
needs of the individual, and in-
dividual reports from the text-
book-

The class was also treated
with a visit from Mrs. Emily
Binkly, a consultant for the
Food and Drug Administration.
Mrs Binkly proved to be a very
fluent speaker and she gave the
class the opportunity to ask
questions concerning food and
drugs after her lecture.

The class was instrumental in
the success of the Blood Letting
Program at the college Students
from the class participated in
the planning of the assembly
program and the class worked
with the doctors and nurses on
February 24.

Certainly, the experiences wit-
nessed in the Total School
Health Class will be long remem-
bered by each student.

Sarmniah Stale College Student^
Auion^ Hundreds at "^Challenge '65""

Three representatives of the
Savannah State College Student
Council were among hundreds of
students from colleges all over
the south, who attended the
"Challenge '65" symposium. The
symposium which began on
March 13. was hosted by the stu-
dent body of Wake Forest Col-
lege, in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina,

Those attending the confer-
ence were Evelyn Brown, a
sophomore from Beaufort. S, C.
majoring in Social Science:
Samuel West, a sophomore from
Tlfton. Georgia, majoring in
Mechanical Engineering Tech-
nology, and Betty Gordon, a
junior of Savannah, majoring in
Mathematics, The students were
accompanied by Albert Frazier,
Assistant Professor of Physical
Education,

'Challenge '65" is a program of
lectures, panel discussions and
seminars including open discus-
sions and critical questioning
periods on a subject of vital im-
portance to American and World
societies. In an effort to compile
experience and interests of quali-
fied persons, Challenge '65" ex-
plored one of the major prob-
lems embroiled in our society
"The Emerging World of the
Negro." This topic was very
vividly described in various areas
during the process of the session

The topics of elaboration were
'"the Negro and "where to,' elec-
tions, automation, religion, jus-

tice, communications, academics,
and attitudes toward govern-
ment." Among the distinguished
experts in these areas were; Dr.
Thomas Pettigow, associate pro-
fessor of Social Psychology at
Howard University; Attorney
Vernon Jordan of an Atlanta law
firm; noted international author
and conservatist, Dr, Russel
Kirk; Mr. Louis Lamax. a na-
tionally famous writer and Mr,
Hobart Taylor, Jr., executive vice
president of the President's
Council on Equal Job Employ-
ment Opportunity. There were a
number of other noted person-
alities who shared their thoughts
on the status of the Negro in
our emerging world.

The representatives were en-
tertained by a musical concert
of folksinger Joan Baez and the
movie "A Raisen in the Sun,"
The dynamic James Farmer, na-
tional director of CORE, high-
lighted a banquet given for the
participants, in his speech on
"The Organization of the Civil
Rights Movement."

Challenge "65" offered various
solutions to the many problems
that arise in the Negro Move-
ment. It also provided a wealth
of information which can serve
to create an awareness among
college students and a point of
departure for those who may
want to penetrate more deeply
the vast complexities of "The
Emerging World of the Negro. "

The Savannah State College
Chemistry Department has
selected Dr. K. B. Raut as repre-
sentative to the National Meet-
ing of the American Chemical
Society. The conference will be
held in Detroit, Michigan, April
4-9.

Dr. Charles Pratt, head of the
department since 1961. explained
that the department is making
rapid strides in the area of re-
search as well as in teaching.
Dr. Raut was selected because
of his work in 'Abstraction," He
will meet with the Chemical
Abstract Committee white in
Detroit,

Dr Raut is presently engaged
in the investigation of crystalline
action of finely divided copper
in the reaction between poly-
halogen aliphatic compounds.
The data received from these
experiments will produce a new
synthetic method for prepara-
tion amids. This project will also
enable further study on reactions
to determine tri-phenyl dyes.

Since 1961 the Chemistry de-
partment has received a yearly
research grant from such organ-
izations as the National Cotton-
seed Products Association, the
National Science Foundation, the
Research Corporations and
others. These grants have en-
abled the department to provide
modern and precise equipment.

The department has on hand
sucli items of equipment as
visible and Ultra Violet Spectro-
photometers, a grating spectro-
graph, gas chromtograph, Zone
Refines, and the latest addition
was an Infrared Spectropho-
meter, Perkin-Elmer Model 137,

The individual who ventures
into the wide and opportunity
filled career of Chemistry enters
a wonderland of challenging and
rewarding work. The Savannah
State Chemistry Department
welcomes new enthuasists.

STUDENT LIBRARY ASSISTANTS
MEET AT SAVANNAH STATE

THE TIGERS ROAR

The 8th annual conference of
the Student Library Assistants
of Georgia was held Friday and
Saturday, March 19th and 20th
at Savannah State College.

Several educational informa-
tive sessions were held. One of
the sessions featured a repre-
sentative from each school in an
activity called "The Most Un-
forgettable Book Character." The
purpose of the activity was: (li
To indicate the type of reading
being done by each particular
unit; (2) To measure the extent
of reading being done by each
unit; (3) To share and recom-
mend new books to all groups.
and (4) To measure the degree
of creativity and talent in each
local unit-

The Student Library Assistants
of Georgia is a state-wide opera-
tion of the school library. Three
main purposes of the organiza-
tion are the following: d) To
sponsor a greater interest among
the students in the use of books
and library service; i2) To
stimulate reading interest, and
<3) To improve the library serv-
ice of the school. Student Library
Assistants are as important to
the work of the library as the
Student Council is to the opera-
tion of the school.

Bernard McKay, a student at
Carver High School. Columbus,
Georgia, is president and Brenda
Eouie is Secretary, Miss Margaret
Walker, State School Library
Consultant, served as coordina-
tor of activities, and E. J. Josey,

in Atlanta. Georgia.

Dr. Nelson Brooks, director of
the Language Institute, Yale

Some Important features of
the conference were exhibits of
audiolingual course materials,
and live demonstrations by
master teachers, in methods and
techniques in foreign language
teaching.

An indication of the great in-
terest that this conference
stimulated throughout this area
is the fact that about two hun-

Franklin Praises
Gulf Oil Corp.

WASHINGTON, D. C Under-
secretary of Commerce Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Jr., recently
praised the Gulf Oil Corporation
before a Senate Antitrust sub-
committee for it^ dealings with
Negro service station operators.

During hearings on franchise
arrangements, Mr, Roosevelt told
subcommittee Chairman Senator
Philip Hart (D-Mich.) that the
oil industry "was one of the first
to make available national
brand franchise opportunities to
Negroes."

Mr, Roosevelt gave details of
a study conducted by Professor
H. Naylor Fltzhugh of Howard
University who reported that
Gulf has 622 Negro-opcratecl
dealerships in this country.

Average tenure of the dealers,
according to the Fitzhugh re-
port, is about five years al-
though some dated back to the
1930s when the oil industry col-
lectively had about 100 Negro-
operated stations.

ur, Fitzhugh's report state.;
that the relatively low capital
requirements for dealers to en-
ter gasoline retailing has been
one of the features which has
made this field attractive to Ne-
gro operators-

The Fitzhugh report indicated
that the average financial in-
vestment required to take over
a modern Gulf station is $3,000
for packaged goods inventory,
equipment and working capital.
Another $2,000 would be required
for gasoline inventory. However.
by credit extensions or under
Gulf's plan for selling dealers
direct from service station stor-
age, this investment generally

Tell Them the Truth!

By Jacquelyn Ryles

Dear Jackye:

I have a problem that I hope
you can help me solve. When I
came to SSC, I was engaged to
a nice fellow back home and I
had planned to be true to him
because we were both deeply in
love, but now I find this very
difficult to do because the fel-
lows are constantly on my trail
I handsome ones, too),

I still love my fiance so how
can I remain true to him with-
out hurting these other guys'
feelings';'

Bewildered

Dear Bewildered:

Simply tell these "handsome"
fellows that you are engaged to
be married to a fellow that you
love very much. It will be hard
to accept at first but they will
soon forget about you. If this
play fails then you can always
stop fixing your hair, buy a pair
of spectacles, stop watching your
diet and go to class in your bare
feet. It never fails!

Jackye

Dear Jackye;

The boy I truly love is not
here this quarter. I love this
boy and feel that there is no
one around that could make me
as happy and cause me to laugh
as he did.

Now that he is gone, I can
hardly face a new day. Nothing
is the same. It seems as if the
entire college has changed, that
takes in the campus, because the
campus is where we spent many
loveable evenings.

I do not feel up to studying
or anything. I am almost a life-
less person now. The day he left
we had an argument about a
personal problem and said there
would be not writing, so writing
is out. but I would feel better if
I knew how things were between
us.

Please tell me should I write or
should I forget him and if you

think I should forget him, please
suggest ways to do so.

Puzzled and Heartbroken

Dear Puzzled:

You're 111 (indigestion, per-
haps!, not in love. If you were
really in love you would have
overlooked the argument, swal-
lowed your pride and written
him long before now.

Jackye
Dear Jackye;

There is this boy, who has
liked me for a long time. I talk
to him in a friendly manner and
nothing more, but he insists that
I am going to be his girl.

1 do not love this boy, but he
thinks I care for him. He never
gives me a chance to talk seri-
ously with someone I could like.
Every time he sees me with an-
other boy, one in particular, he
comes up and interferes with us
and tries to take advantage of
me, which causes the boy I am
with to get wise ideas.

Could you please tell me how
to get this boy, who has become
a pest, off my back.

Being Fested

Dear Pested;

Find yourself a two hundred
pound football player to talk to,
then stand back out of their
way,

GLEE CLUB PRESENTS
SPRING CONCERT

The Savannah State College
Men's Glee Club presented its
annual Spring Concert in the
Willcox Gymnasium on Savan-
nah State College's Campus.
Sunday, March 7. The members
of the Glee Club are from the
various twelve academic di-
visions of the college and are
not, for the most part, music
majors, James Thompson, Jr.. In-
structor in Fine Arts is director
of the Glee Club and Walker
Durham and Birl D. Hill are
student conductors.

The Savannah State Men's
Glee Club's repretolrc is varied
and musically challenging. The
concert included sacred, secular,
folksongs and Negro spirituals.
Opening the spring concert, the
Glee Club sang "Sing Unto God,"
by George F. Handel, Turning
to two Latin compositions, the
group voiced "Adormus Te" by
Palestrina and "Slcut Locutus
Est" from the Immortal "Mag-
nificat," by Johann Sebastian
Bach.

Randall Thompson's Testa-
ment of Freedom, a choral work,
which was composed to celebrate
the two hundredth Anniversary
Celebration of Thomas Jeffer-
son's birth climaxed the first
portion of the concert. The text
was taken from the writings of
Thomas Jefferson which were
superbly put to music by the late
great English composer, Randall
Thompson. The wording of the
text and music makes for a
majestic testament in words and
music to freedom and liberty
which are the bulwark of Ameri-
can Democracy.

The second part of the con-
cert included beautiful sacred
music which gave the Glee Club
the opportunity to display a
variety of choral techniques in
the following compositions;

"Striving After God," by Undeen

Moore, a contemporary Negro
composer on the faculty of Vir-
ginia State College; "Thou Art
Reprose" by Franz Schubert;
and the great anthem of the
Reformation. "A Mighty Fortress
Is Our God" by Luther-Mueller.
Negro Spirituals ended this sec-
tion of the concert. These In-
cluded "Ride the Charlott." ar-
ranged by Smith, "Soon-Ah Will
Be Done," arranged by William
L. Dawson.

The Octette composed of
Walker Durham, Willie Carl
Smith, William Martin. Robert
Bell, Henry Maynor, Blrl Hill,
Harold Singleton, and Prince
Johnson sang a light musical
comedy number, "De Animals a
Comln'." by the contemporary
American composer, Marshall
Bartholomew.

The final part of the concert
included "Chorlc Dance," by
Ruth GilUum, professor of music
at North Carolina College at
Durham: "Water Boy" featuring
Birl Hill, a baritone and Fresh-
man Music Major, singing the
solo; and Ringwald's "All The
Things You Are." concluded this
section. The final selection was
brilliant and majestic "Let Us
Praise Famous Men," by Theron
Kirk, which was accompanied
by several members of the Col-
lege Band as well as the organ
and piano.

Guest artists for the concert
included Charles Alston, Chair-
man of the Department of Music,
Benedict College, who served as
organist and Walter Green,
Medical Record Librarian, North
Carolina State Sanltorlum, Mc-
Cain, North Carolina. Green,
who Is a well-known pianist,

Sullivan IVeseiils Report on
Depl. ol Eii<;ineeriiig Technology

The Department of Engineer-
ing was invited to inspect a
dredging operation by U, S, Corps
of Engineers, on February 25,
1965, during their celebration of
"Engineering Week,"

About thirty students and
faculty members participated in
field trip. It was requested that
we be at the appointed place
along the pier of tfie Atlantic
Coast Line docks at 2 p.m. From
there, we were taken by boat out
to the dredging operation,
several hundred feet from shore.
Having boarded the dredge,
Henry Bacon, the captain of the

administration, walked as an
undercover agent into what was
charged to be an abortion setup
and spent some anxious
moments before the state police
closed in.

Miss Parrette jumped at the
chance when an instructor asked
her if she wanted to do some
undercover work for the state
police.

The police told the story this
way:

They planted information with
a woman suspect that the coed
wanted an abortion. The woman
called Miss Parrette, asking if
she had "problems."

The coed met the woman in a
night club, gave her $500 in
marked bills and rode to Detroit
with her to the home of a couple
for the illegal operation.

The state police closed in and
arrested the trio a few minutes
later.

Back on campus, the MSU coed
hit the books and waited for her
next "secret assignment."

commuter vessel and the chief
engineer of the dredging opera-
tion itself were very meticulous
in their explanations of the en-
tire operation.

The dredge itself was complete,
self-sufficient unit; having It's
own power plant, machine shop,
inventory of spare parts, own
kitchen and dining areas as well
as sleeping quarters for the crew.
The entire operation was fasci-
nating and highly informative.
To many of the students, this
was their first experience in ob-
serving close-up such massive
machinery and equipment, which
they apparently enjoyed.

After observing the dredging
operation, we came to the U. S.
Corps of Engineers building
where we were shown a film of
the Savannah River Harbor
operation and the task of the
government to maintain and
Improve the water facilities
so that river traffic will move
smoothly. The film was ably
narrated by a staff engineer, in-
cluding the enormous cost of
maintaining the waterways
entering the Savannah harbor.
The detailed manner in which
they control the sediment flow
and disposal of some were quite
interesting.

We are indebted to Miss Vir-
ginia L. Kauble, Technical
Liaison Officer, Savannah Engi-
neer District, for extending us
the invitation and making a very
pleasant and rewarding experi-
ence for all of us. We are hope-
ful that some other interesting
fields trips can be arranged dur-
ing the spring quarter for the
enlightment of our students.

CLUB

CAMPUS

FASHIONS

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

YOUR FAIR LADY has a way of turning into Cimlcrellii-At-The-
Ball over the Christmas holidays. What with the stepped-up pace
of formal entertaining, parties, dinners, balls, and theater parties,
you. as Prince-Escort, will be called upon to look your elegant best.
In fact, quite aside from the Christmas season, your undergraduate
years will probably afford you more frequent opportunities to don
formalwear than any other time in your life. And, as always, the
traditional rules for formal attire apply. Here's a run-down to
keep you up on the latest in formal fashions for today's Prince
Charming.

THREE TO GET READY for the big night. Three
populnr styles in formal dinner jackets give
you a wide variety to choose from. The new,
flattering peaked lapel adds a distinctive nolo
to the traditional dinner jacket. The notched
lapel is also gaining ground, and, of course, the
shawl collar remains the campus classic. Jack-
ets are lightweight, natural-shoulder, single-
breasted in all-worsted or worsted and mohair
combination, and are cut on straight-hanging
lines. Whatever your choice, the lapels should
be in either a dull or lustrous silk facing.

THE HONOR OF YOUR COMPANY lequested

on an engraved invitation implies a personal
obligation to look your absolute best. A vest,
worn in combination with the dinner jacket.
continues to be a more popular fashion trend,
Either the V-shaped with points, or the tradi-
tiunal straight-bottom styles are correct. One
f the newest trends in men's formalwear is the
nindernized Edwardian" vest in straight cut
with dull satin facing on the lapels. Whatever
your choice of vest, it will echo your jacket in
color and lapel styles. Your matching black
trousers should be tapered.

IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING if youVe lucky enough to be
vacationing in the sunny South. The usual white dinner jacket
makes an appropriate substitute, and follows the same styling rules
as for the all-black outfit and calls for the same kind of accessories.
The more venturesome among you will want to investigate the
dashing new crop of plaid JIadras and striped seersucker jackets.
These are tailored in natural shoulder, single-breasted styles with
shawl collars, For the winter bound among us. the brighter, bolder
fabrics must wait for spring and summer. But even with a color-
ful print, the standard white shirt remains white.

THE MIDNIGHT SUN wilt gleam on your all-important accessories.
The front-runner in studs and matching cufflinks is black or smoky
pearl. The pleated silk cummerbund and black bow tie. either in
the straight bow or butterfly style, are standard. Whether you
choose a clip-on or a self-tie is largely a matter of personal prefer-
ence, but the clip-ons are so expertly made that they are virtually
indistinguishable from the self-tie. The regular dress shirt has a
pleated bosom and leaves a dazzling y^" of white cuff showing.
NEVER try to get by with a regular button-down collar; it's defi-
nitely out of keeping with correct formal standards.

THE GLASS SLIPPER for your lady; for yoi,
the shiny black patent leather slip on, or the
plain-toed, two-eyelet black shoes are best. Any
relatively simple black shoe light enough for
dancing will do. Socks are black, rayon or nylon,
plain, and should be securely gartered above
the calf.

A BLACK HOMBURG or derby is the appio^
priate headgear for the formal occasion. F'ir-
an outercoat, the black raincoat makes a good
substitute for a formal evening coat, though a
light tan or stadium-type coat is out. Ideal is the classic, velvet-
collared Chesterfield. A white silk scarf and light gray suede or
natural chamois gloves handsomely complete the picture.

So much for Prince Charming. Next month, a mid-winter checkup
on the latest in knitwear, leather apparel, gloves and so on. See
you then.

YMCA Holds
Conference

By James R. Smith

The Biltmore Hotel of Atlanta,
Georgia, became the site of an
attempt to popularize tutorial
programs when the Y.M.C.A.
Delegates convened there April
17-18,

One of the main speakers for
the convention was Dr. Allan
Smith, State Superintendent of
Schools of Georgia. Dr. Smith
spoke of the problem of school
dropouts.

Dr. Smith emphasized that
about one half of the children
who enter grammer school do
not enter high school. Dr. Smith
also stated that more dropouts
come from low income families
than other economic status. The
reading ability of these student.s,
according to Dr. Smith, is a
crippled. They are retarded and
humiliated. They are older than
the groups with which they
associate.

After a number of panel dis-
cussions, the convention termi-
nated until the next meeting
which will be held in December
during the Christmas Holidays.

SSC to Initiate/
A Pre-trial
Eni'ollnient Plan

President Howard Jordan, Jr.,
has announced that Savannah
State College will initiate a pre-
trial enrollment program during
the 1965 summer session. The
program will be designed to
make it possible for graduates
of accredited Georgia high
schools who have been rejected
on original applications to State
Colleges to improve academic
deficiencies on which their re-
jections were based. Such pre-
trial programs have been ap-
proved by the Board of Regents
of the University System of
Geeorgia and are in effect in
several other units of the System
at this time.

The purpose of such programs
is to enable all graduates of ac-
credited Georgia high schools
who wish to attend college to
have a second chance to find a
place in the freshman class of
some unit of the University
System.

Enrollees in the program will
be given supplemental instruc-
tion in courses basic to freshman
year college requirements. They
will be tested at the end of the
summer period to determine the
level of their pre-college achieve-
ment. Those who show minimum
required achievement will be
granted probationary admiaison
with the Fall Quarter freshman
class.

All persons who were rejected
for first-time enrollment by Sa-
vannah State College, and
especially those who were re-
jected for the Fall. 1964, and
those who have been rejected
for the Fall Quarter. 1965, are
invited to enrol! in this program.
In addition, high schools are
urged to recommend enrollment
in this program to all prospec-
tive June graduates who wish to
attend college, but whose high
school achievement records may
not. at graduation, win admis-
sion to units of the University
System.

number will receive degrees at
the graduation.

Of this number, at least one
person represents one of Savan-
nah State College's twelve
academic divisions. .

The Honorable |/Raymond P,
Alexander, Judge of the Court
of Common Pleas of Philadel-
phia. Pcnn,, is scheduled to de-
liver the commencement address

Getting The Most Out of An

Education

By John Wesley Jordan

In order for a student to get
the most out of his education, he
must put forth some self-
initiative, and he must have a
desire for self-improvement- This
merely means that if a student
is to acquire a satisfactory and
adequate education, he must go
beyond the assigned lessons and
acquire additional information.

An education Is more than
merely a diploma; it is the
process of training and develop-
ing knowledge and skills. The
student is as much or more
responsible for his education
than is his instructor. The
teacher has such a great respon-
sibility with the students that he
Is unable to give each student
all the attention and educational
Information that he needs.
Therefore, it is the responsibility
of the student to seek additional
Information.

Many students consider the
process of becoming educated a
passive process. To them becom-
ing educated is merely respond-
ing to the efforts of others while
they themselves put forth little
effort as possible to aid the
process. They go to class, listen
to the lecture by the instructor,
take notes when the mood hits
them, and after class is over, fold
their note books and forget the
class until the next class meet-
ing. The feeling is that by fol-
lowing this routine, the student
is becoming educated. Obviously,
students who behave like this
feel that the responsibility for
their becoming educated rests
primarily with the instructor.

SPRING IS

By Robert L. Joiner, Jr.

It is springtime again and soon
mother nature will set the stage
for summer. Moss hangs lazily
from the trees around SSC's
Campus and many students are
in a mood similar to the moss.

Spring is the time of the year
when classroom lectures are
rather boring and occasionally
one finds it difficult to stay
awake.

Spring is the time of the year
when one races to the beach,
party on the weekend and "push
cookies" in the evening.

Spring is the time of the year
when students campaign for
various offices, when future frat
brothers are inducted Into fra-
ternity pledge clubs, when the
"man of the year" receives an
award.

Spring is the time when extra-
curricular activities flourish. For
a college student, spring is more
than books, and courses and
credit, and, in the end, a B.S,

Student Council
President's Message

As my administration here at
our cherished Alma Mater ends,
my most sincere thanks go out
to President Jordan, the ad-
ministration, faculty, and all
persons who have contributed in
some way to the enhancement to
the students' well-being.

Once again I extend my
heartiest appreciation to you. the
student body, for giving me the
opportunity to serve as your stu-
dent government president for
the term 1964-65. I am fully
aware that the accomplishments
made by my administration
would not have been possible
without your help.

Since I am not inclined to-
ward reminiscing those things
which you have seen, and those
things which have come to pass,
I will not mention them here. I
will, however, enlighten you on
some accomplishments that are
not yet tangible.

As written in my platform, we
have been successful in getting
a Savannah State College Bus,
which is being constructed by
the Blue Bird Bus Company in
Fort Valley. Georgia, and is due
here in, or before the fall of
1965, Juniors and seniors will not
be compelled to attend as-
semblies starting September 1965,
but I am trusting that from time
to time you will attend. I am
especially happy to announce
that student wages will Increase
to $1.25 per hour starting June
1965 We are recommending to
all succeeding Student Councils
to make the Citizenship Award,
which was created this year, a
permanent award to be given by
the Student Council each year.

ON TIME AND
MAN'S INHUMANITY

degree. Spring is an actor in the
college play, a soprano in the
choir, editor of the newspaper
or yearbook. Spring is a date for
the Cotton Ball.

On the contrary, spring carries
marks of bitterness. There Is
always trouble. The situation
prevailing in Viet Nam and the
Dominican Republic are still two
major problems. Spring, in such
a situation, is a fatal season.

Yes, spring Is the season when
that little bug bites and causes
one to become somewhat indo-
lent. But we must overcome the
"spring bug," For there are too
many unsolved problems, too
many unknown enemies, further-
more, the world is watching us
play our role in this complex
society. The world expects more
of us than to be defeated by a
"spring bug," Therefore, we must
play our role well as college stu-
dents. This role demands hard
work and less attention to the
"spring bug."
Spring is . . .

By Jerome Johnson

It might well be safe to say
that from the beginning of
recorded time, man has com-
mitted perhaps the greatest of
all hypocrisies, that is. for being
inhuman in his treatments to-
ward his fellowman.

The acts of exploitation,
violence and discontent as seen
in the brutal and barbaric be-
haviors in Selma, Alabama and
other racially segregated cities in
America, have displayed the
deepest depths of indignity to
each human being. Further,
these acts have left each man
spiritually limping on the
crutches of regret regret for
being born In a world of im-
morality and sefllshness!

"Time \ " This is the word which
casts a shadow of doubt and dis-
allusionment on the American
scene. For time has repeatedly
shown that man may never
change from his cheating, steal-
ing and lying ways which man
employs to achieve his selfish
ends. Because of this phe-
nomenon, a shadow is casted on
the conditions of poverty, sorrow
and hate in the world. On the
other hand, rays of hope are seen
in th advances made in human
relations. The intelligent will
survive, thank heaven! So will
there be a race that will be
dictated with other(st who will
be he recipient of this dictation.
Another shadow is casted.

It is believed today, for man
to even dream that conditions
will change is good. But can we
go on believing that a change
will come when the George
Wallaces, the Paul Johnsons, the
KKK and men of inhuman quali-
ties are present in our society
to dictate? The crisis In Viet

Nam. Santo Domingo and other

heated communism-inclined at-
mospheres is no different. This
is oppression. And wherever
there is oppression there will
always be the oppressed more
inhumanity!

President Johnson seems to

think that he has the answer to
better the conditions in America
by his proposals for a "Great
Society." If the creation of a
great society is the answer, we
by all means welcome it. But
how can we achieve this effort
in a situation where "everyone
is happy" while few are. where
"many" are properly cared for,
while few are not, where every-
one is equal, while none actually
is?

The most that can be done for
the bettering of humanity is to
go beyond the dream-stage and
pray that a being much greater
than man will guide each person
to a land of brotherhood and
equality.

Mclver Presents Paper

Isaiah Mclver, assistant pro-
fessor of social sciences, pre-
sented a paper at the 30th
Annual Meeting of the National
Association of Social Science
Teachers.

The conference took place at
Atlanta University. Atlanta, on
April 22 and continued through
April 24. "The Second 100 Years
of Freedom. Opportunity, and
Service," was the theme of the
annual meeting.

Mclver made his presentation
centering around the educational
opportunities made available to
Negroes during the past century
as a result of legal action on the
part of Negroes.

We have also created a new
student loan fund which will be
available to students on short
terms. We are recommending
that each student council here-
after contribute some amount to
this fund, so that the availability
of funds for students will become
more abundant.

The accomplishments that we
have made are good, but they
are now history. The time has
come when I must step down and
allow my successor to plot the
course of destiny which the
"Winds of Change" demand of
the student body here at our
College.

It is my wish that you. the
students give your student gov-
ernment president the respect
and support due a president. You
must also demand that the
faculty, administration, and staff
show him due respect. When
respect Is not given to your
president when he requests
something for the improvement
of the student body, you your-
selves are not being respected.

I hope to see the day when
there will be no animosities and
bitter competition between city
students and dormitory students,
between fraternities, and sorori-
ties, for we are all here for the
same purpose, to get an educa-
tion. "If you try to hold another
man in the ditch you must also
stay in the ditch with that man."

Remember too that, "together
we stand and divided we fall."
Unite and you will be able to
overcome all of the heartache,
pain, and bitterness that come
with self segregation. Yes, to
think that everything should be
for your sorority, your fraternity,
the dormitory students, or the
city students. Is to segregate
against yourselves. No one else
has to discriminate against you,
for you are doing it to yourself.

The instructors too. need to
take a second look at themselves,
and not just be set on remaining
aloft in their ivory towers, for
the students are the reason for
their being here in the first
place, even the whole College for
that matter. The time is long
past for pay check teachers. I
hope more instructors will get a
sincere interest in the students'
learning as some have, and not
just sit back and call the student
dumb and satisfy their ego by
flunking students. Anyone can
give an "F." but anyone cannot
teach. I hope that the example
of interest set by some instruc-
tors are followed by many more.

The student personnel depart-
ment is improving also, but I
will be very happy when the
young ladies in the dormitory
are given credit to be able to
think like young ladies and not
like children.

I will be looking for the day
when Savannah State College
under the very able leadership
of Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., will
be among the highest ranking
colleges in the nation.

New Developments in Panama

By Leonard Jones

President Johnson recently
named Dr. Milton Eisenhower,
brother of the former president,
and three other private citizens
to serve on a commission to
study and pick a site for a sea-
level canal between the Atlantic
and the Pacific Oceans.

The commission will serve
under the chairmanship of Rob-
ert B. Anderson of Greenwich,
Conn., former secretary of treas-
ury who is now President John-
son's representative in discus-
sions with the Panamanian gov-
ernment regarding the Panama
Canal and revisions of the treaty
covering it.

The Panama Canal Zone was
leased from Panama after the
United States helped the country
to gain its independence from
Colombia. The U. S, built the
canal at a cost of 400 million
dollars. Under a treaty of 1903.
the U, S. took control of the zone
in perpetuity. The treaty was
amended several times, to meet
demands for increased annual
payments to Panama and other
requests.

Complaints by Panama go back
to the treaty signing itself. The
Panamanians claimed then that
the treaty signer for their coun-
try did not actually represent
them. Nevertheless, Panama ac-
cepted the treaty and ever since
has been trying to change it and
gain more money and benefits
for their country.

Panama, in fact, depends
heavily on income from the
canal. The U. S. pays Panama
$1,930,000 a year for use of the

canal under the present treaty.
It employs about 14,000 Pana-
manians and spends $93,000,000
In wages, services, and pur-
cheses in the tiny republic.

These benefits are not enough
to satisfy Panama's pride. Some
Panamanians feel that the U. S.
is taking advantage of them, and
worse. One recent high school
textbook Informs young Pana-
manians that the U, S, was guilty
a year ago of "the most
despicable and cowardly aggres-
sion ever registered in the pages
of American History," Public
feeling is running so high that
many Panamanians would rather
lose the large revenue than to
allow the U, S. to remain.

Decisions affecting the future
of the Panama Canal are being
worked out at this time. The
following seems to be agreed
upon. The treaty will be modi-
fled to up the U. S. payment to
Panama and to ease the clause
that gives the U. S, "perpetual"
soveriengty over the canal and
the narrow zone on either side
of the water-way. Construction
of a new sea-level canal connect-
ing the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans is Imperative and must
be pressed within a few years.
Still to be determined is the site
of a new canal, A decision on
that vital point will be related
to the attitudes of the nations
involved. Panama appears to be
favored as offering the best and
most economical sea-level be-
tween the two oceans. However,
if Panama permits more out-
breaks like the ones a year ago.
this will not be possible.

May tenth, nineteen sixty-five
was the date, nine fifteen was
the hour, and the lobby in the
dormitory was the place. To
what occasion do these vital sta-
U.stlcs belong? Why, the "Charm
Weel<," In the dorm, of course ! ! ! !

Third floor left wing was in
charge, corridor leader. Zealine
Griffin, The program was one
of the many programs that have
taken place in Camilla Hubert
Hall. The nature of the program
was "Charm." Our guest speaker
was Mrs. Curtwrlght, a member
of the faculty here at Savannah
State College. She talked about
the five letters of Charm, giving
a definition for each. Also, what
makes a lady charming: aims,
values, beliefs, self confidence,
being true, fair to all concerned,
and most of all, good will to all.

Her speech was one to remem-
ber. The message was one to
never forget but always remem-
ber, because of the value which
it had. On the behalf of the dor-
mitory I wish to thank Mrs,
Curtwrlght, for such an inspir-
ing message.

The program ended with one
of the many aspects of charm
clothes. We really had a short
portion of an Ebony fashion re-
view. Oi'r models were: Veron-
ica Robinson. Eloise Williams,
Ira Troup. Barbara Fouch, Eoris
Bennett and Miss Virgia S, Glass.
We wish to thank all of the
lovely ladies who helped to m3k3
Charm Week a success.

These are only a few things
that have taken place. The resi-
dents of Camilla tlubert Hall and

Inside where life won't bother
me
Away from any busy body.

Where tear.s can fall and no one
knows
In peace and quiet witliin the
door closed

But one cannot live without a
friend
So I open the door and let
everyone in.

Our last meeting was May 10,
1965. It has been an enjoyable
experience for me to brins to
you the happenings within the
doors of Camilla Hubert Hall.
The officers have served the pur-
pose to the best of their ability,
and we, the residents, wish to
thank all of you. To Mrs. Lester
and Miss Rhodriquez, we all want
to thank you for the guidance
and patience you have given all
of us.

On the ninth of May was
Mother's Day and also open
house for all the dorms. The
theme that most of the residents
used was Mother's Day. The
rooms were beautifully deco-
rated and open house was a suc-
cess for our dorms. Everyone was
ready and waiting for the crowd
to look over their rooms, for its
final inspection. Guess what?
We can't wait to have it again ! ! !
As Mrs. Lester says: "I knew you
could do it!" As far as rooms
are concerned, here's a poem to
remember:

MY ROOM
My room is like a hide-away
Safe and snug within I stay.

Sweetheart of
The Month

Patricia (Pat) Brown

The Tiger's Roar salutes the
charming and talented Patricia
Verlene Brown as its final sweet-
heart for the school term.

"Pat" is a junior Sociology
major and Spanish minor of
Metter, who enjoys sewing, danc-
ing, and sports.

She is president of the Mar-
shall Board, secretary of the
Y.W C.A., and a member of the
Social Science Club.

The dignified and personable
Miss Brown was recently elected
"Miss SSC" for the 1965-66 school
year.

At the beginning of the term,
I asked various students of the
Freshman class, why did they
choose SSC, and what did they
like most about the college. Now
we come to the close of the term,
So I decided to consult some
members of the freshman class
again. Below are their responses
when I asked them: "How have
you enjoyed your first term at
SSC. and will you return in
September?"

Claudhie Freeman At first,
being at Savannah State was a
big disappointment, but after
two quarters, I have accepted
the situation and am making the
Ijest of it . I will return in
September because, well, I have
no choice, between marriage,
work, and college.

Evelyn Green I have not en-
joyed my first term at Savan-
nah State College as I had hoped
I would. I do plan to return in
September with hopes of getting
more enjoyment out of school,

Walter Singleton During the
first quarter I had a little trouble
getting adjusted- The second
quarter, I made an improvement.
This quarter is very hot but I
think I will make it. I will re-
turn in September.

Veronica Robinson I have
not enjoyed my stay at SSC. It
isn't really what I expected in
college. I think if things could
have been more active on
campus, I would have enjoyed
my stay. I am planning on re-
turning in the fall because this
is my only choice. Wish me luck
next term,

Justine Cheever I have en-
joyed my first term here at SSC,
and I plan to return for the
summer as well as the fall
quarter.

James Lytes The first quar-
ter was quite prosperous, but the
later quarter and a half was
quite dull. I suppose with a poo!
being constructed, things will be
different next term. I do plan
to return.

Cherry Cooper I have not
enjoyed my first term at SSC.

Students^Orgaiiize
Electronic Club

Savannah State College has
recently witnessed the formation
of a new organization known as
the Electro-Tech Club. The
organization is comprised of
students in the electronic field,
however, membership is ex-
tended to persons who are inter-
ested in electronics and who are
not necessarily electronics
majors.

According to one member, the
organization has for its purpose
(11 to gain additional informa-
tion, skills, and experience by
building, observing, and analyz-
ing different electronic phe-
nomena: 12) to provide the
members with a broader knowl-
edge of the use of electronic
apparatus; and (3i to present
an exchange of ideas between
persons with a background and
an interest in electronics.

Currently, the Electro-Tech
Club is sponsoring a program in
which members repair various
types of electronic equipment for
students and faculty members
for a nominal fee.

Any person interested in be-
coming a member should contact
members of the department of
technical science or members of
the organization.

phere. Regardless of enjoyment.
I plan to return in September.

Constance Brannan My en-
joyment at SSC came at the end,
because I was most delighted to
know the term was ending. I will
give it a half and half rating
on whether I enjoyed it. How-
ever, I am planning to return.

Larry Campbell I have en-
joyed my first term here very
much, and I plan to return in
September and for the remaining
three years.

Linda Williams SSC is a fine
college. Its vivid environment
and its well organized extra-
curricular activities make it a
joy to any student. In spite of
all the advantages offered me
here. I still do not like it. My
plans for attending SSC for next
year are incomplete at the
present.

James Woods I certainly
have enjoyed attending SSC. and
I do plan to come back in
September.

Melvenia Grace I enjoyed
my first term at SSC, but it
couid have been a little better,
however, I plan to return in
September.

Mary Smalls As a whole my
first term at SSC was not what
I expected it to be, although the
environment is pleasant. I guess
I didn't apply myself well

enough- I do plan to return for
the fall quarter,

Anastine Thompson The
transition from high school to
college is difficult in itself. I
realize we are grown and should
be treated thus so, but the im-
personal attitude of the teachers
makes it much harder than it is.

A Short Story

By B. J. Johnson
Waterberry College is a school
located in South Gum. Florida,
where most of its students are
from bourgeoise families. How-
ever, occasionally one might
come in contact with a few stu-
dents from proletarian back-
ground David Gangs was such
a student.

John Streetway has taught
Itailian at Waterberry for nearly
twenty-seven years. David Gangs
went to see the aged but rugged
professor about his grades in
Italian.

When the half-tensed boy
reached Streetway's office, he
knocked on the closed door.

"Come in," the voice from on
the inside said very cordially and
invitingly.

Streetway's office was very
spacious and nicely decorated
with Italian and Grecian statu-
ettes. Books were neatly ar-
ranged on book stands made
around the walls.

"Professor Streetway." David
began, "I must pass your Italian
course."

"Sit down, David." The pro-
fessor smoked a big cigar which
made him look typical of an af-
fluent Hollywood producer.

"I must pass," the boy said
seriously. "You know, professor,
I will graduate this year. You
Just can't give me an 'F." "

"David, your grades are not
very impressive, as you probably
know. And what makes you think
that I will give you an 'F'? What-
ever you make, that's what you
will get, I do not enjoy issuing
my students failing grades.
However, if someone earns it. I
feel fair in passing out the same
grade. The same holds true for
a person making a 'B' or an 'A.'
If he earns it. he will get it. No
more and no less."

This remark hurt David. He

crossed his legs and stared down

at the floor. He felt like crying.

"Professor, please! You just

can't flunk me."

"David. I won't flunk you, but
you can flunk yourself,"

The boy became silent and
restless for a few seconds.

"Italian is a very difficult sub-
ject, I just can't get it."

"David," the professor looked
at him seriously, "do you study
your lesson?"

"Yes, sir," he said. "I study
every night. I have made A's
and B's in all of my courses for
the exception , . .

"Bo you spend as much time
on your Italian as you do on
"Yes. As a matter of fact, sir,
the only subject that I study
most of the time, is Italian. I
just can't understand that lan-
guage,"

"David, do you really, really
study Italian?"

"Of course, I study," David
said angrily, "I study every
night."

"How much time do you spend
on your Italian?" David thought
for a while.

"I don't care if I spend a whole
day studying that foolish wop's
subject, I just cannot get it!"
"Answer my question, David."
"I spend from two to three
hours a day studying the Italian
language."

Streetway cast an expression
of skepticism, when the boy had
finished his statement. He asked,
"Are you sure?"

David thought to himself that
Streetway did not like him.

"I know that you're not a
moron. David, I feel that if you
study your lesson seriously, you

can pass the course. The same
thing applies if you do not study
it. That is, you will not pass. I
think that perhaps your great-
est problem lies in your "l-can't-
do-it-attitude," I think that
once you rid yourself of this at-
titude, you will be able to pass
the course."

David hurriedly left the pro-
fessor's office. He felt that he
was not getting anywhere with
Professor Streetway.

"Well, god damn him," David
said aloud as he walked down
the hall from Streetway's office.
It seemed to Streetway that
the months were quickly passing.
In one week and a few days, the
graduation exercises would take
place at Waterberry College. The
man realized that senior grades
would have to be sent in in a
few days. Thinking about it,
Streetway asked his wife. June,
to help him correct his Italian
final examination papers.

The professor was dressed in
his blue pajamas. His black
haired wife had completed mark-
ing examintaion papers so she
tirediy dropped down into a
lounging chair.

"Darling, who is David
Gangs?"

"He is one of my Italian stu-
dents. Why did you ask?"

"Well, I just completed his pa-
per and it seems that he was
the only one who made a terrible
showing on the test."

Streetway puffed on his cigar
and exhaled smoke which circled
around the large room. "Oh,
that's too bad, I guess that he
won't be graduating this year."
"Couldn't you give him a pass-
ing grade?"

"I could, but I won't. You
know I don't do this type of
thing. No honest teacher gives
students grades, even if he is a
candidate for graduation."

"Is this Gangs the same boy
that received the fellowship to
attend graduate school this sum-
mer?"
"What fellowship?"
"I was reading something in
today's paper that a Gangs had
won a four-year fellowship to a
very well-known school in New
England. The article said that
he was a pretty good student."
"Well, he was a pretty poor
student in Italian."

"Oh!" exclaimed Streetway's
wife, "I almost forgot to tell you.
A special delivery letter came for
you today. Let me get it for
you,"

After marking his examination
papers, Streetway opened the
letter with curiosity and began
to read:

"Dear Mr. Streetwaight,
"I wants to plea with you, my
son, David Gangs, is a really
smart boy, he tells me you is
gonna flunk him, I hopes you
dont because I depends on that
boy and I owes everybody in
town, the loan peoples is wor-
ryin me to death, so please let
him graduate, he is a real smart
boy. and he can do good and
help me so much if you let him
pass, he can get a real good jobe.
because he is a real good and
smart boy.

"Mister professer, I am an old
woman nearly seventie years old
and David is ma olny child, ma
husban leave me to take care of
that boy. I did everything I
could for that boy and one day
he is gonna be great, yes sir, a
big man is he gonna be one day,
he is a good boy, so let him fin-
ish school, please, please sir, I
don't know what I will do if you
don't let him pass.

"Well, if you don't let hiii
graduate. God ain't gonna bless
a mean and selfis person like
Ion, please let my son finih
school, sir he is a real smart
boy . . .

"May God bless and be with
you,

"From Mary Gangs
"To Mr. John Streetway
"David is a good boy. my only
son. please let him graduate,"

Commencement Day came.
Professor Streetway watched alt
of the graduating candidates file
by to get their degrees.

After the graduation exercises,
David came up to Streetway who
was standing on the outside of
the auditorium.

"Well," said the professor, "I
hope that you make something
out of yourself."

"Thank you, professor. Thank
you."

"Son, I hear that you plan to
go to graduate school up North;
if you do, I would suggest that
you don't take a course in Ital-
ian," the professor said in a
challenging and ironic tone.
"Don't worry, professor."
The professor and David shook
hands and said good-bye.

Streetway saw his wife talking
to an elderly lady about two
yards away from where he was
standing. The woman had a se-
renity about her that impressed
Streetway of the Italian typical
mother. He signalled for his
wife to join him.

"Who was the charming old
lady that you were talking to?
You know, there is something
about her which makes me think
that I know her from some-
where," Streetway said.

"Her name is Mrs. Gangs. Da-
vid's mother."
"Oh. is that so?"
"June, I did right, didn't I?"
"About what, dear?" You
mean about passing the boy?
Yes. I think that you did right
and I am very proud of you."

"You know, it has been bother-
ing me a bit. I always wonder
or ask myself why did I give him
a passing grade. In my twenty-
seven years of teaching, I have
never given a student a grade
before."

"Maybe It was because of the
letter." Streetway's wife said.

"No, I don't think that that
was the reason, I think that it
was because the boy was going
to make the honor roll, and he
did, even though I gave him
a 'D.' "

Mrs. Streetway did not say
anything to her husband because
she realized that he was in deep
contemplation,

"Are you ready to go home or
shall we go for a long walk
around the campus?"

"Let's take the walk. I have
never seen all of the classroom
buildings around here."

'Long Distance Love Is No Good'

By Jacquelyn Ryles
Dear Jackye:

How is it possible for a young
lady to have gentlemen friends
though she is not looking for a
boy friend?

I have a boy friend at home
whom I love very much. We are
practically engaged and so I am
not looking for a boy friend on
campus. Yet there are a number
of nice boys on campus that I
like to talk to. How do you get
them to accept friendship only?

Many of them say they have
enough "friends" and when they
learn that I won't be their girl
friend, they seem to get bitter.
They say long distance love is
no good. This is not true and I
know from experience.

All of my schemes have failed,
so please tell me how I can be
friendly with the fellows without
giving them the wrong ideas.
Friend Only

Dear Friend:

I'm not too clear on your con-
ception of a "Friend." If you
mean just an ordinary every-day
type of friend, you can find them

Dear Jackye:

The boy I love is in love with
someone else, and I know that
he is. We have been going to-
gether for 18 months now and
I had the impression that we
would be married when we fin-
ish in June of '66. When I asked
him about this other person, he
gets angry and says that I don't
trust him. I have thought about
it and I've seen them together
occasionally.

I know for a fact that when
he was supposed to date me one
night he gave me an excuse and
the next day I found out that
he was with her. He still lied.
Jackye, what can I possibly do?
I love him so much. Should I
quit him, if so, how?

Dear Lovelorn:

You and Caria Thomas seem

But. believe it or not, this boy
must have some feeling towards
you by the way he flares up when
you mention it to him. After 18
months with the same person,
maybe he 'and you, too) need a
change of pace.

Why don't the two of you get
together and decide to take a
few weeks' breathing spell Idon't
see each other at alli. then if the
condition still prevails you can
make your own decision.

Good luck,

Teacher Education
Program at SSC
Is Evaluated

A visiting committee evaluated
the program of teacher educa-
tion at Savannah State College
on April 11-14, 1965. The commit-
tee, composed of a cross-section
of professional educators, was
organized by the Division of In-
struction of the State Depart-
ment of Education,

The evaluation was a pre-
requisite to the achievement of
regular state accreditation. This
form of accreditation, called the
Approved Program Approach to
Certification, is a relatively new
process which is increasingly
being adopted by state certifying
agencies.

Programs approved as a re-
sult of this visitation will be ap-
proved for five years instead of
the usual one year. For this rea-
son, regular accreditation is of-
ficially termed Five Year Ap-
proval. Students who begin as
freshmen during the next five
years will, upon completion of
tlieir particular teaching pro-
grams, automatically be granted
professional certification.

Members of the Visiting Com-
mittee are as follows:

Opportunities to
I.earn Parenthood
Are Suggested

By Mary Parker

Stop! Ask yourself if you plan
to be a parent. Will I be a good
parent? Will I enjoy a pleasant
relationship with my child'' Will
I be happy? Will my child be
happy? What constitutes Good
Parents? Will I trust, admire and
show matureness toward my hus-
band? or wife? What role does
a parent play in the development
of a 2-5 year old?

From the definition we are
made to assume that a parent is
a person who brings forth a new
life into our natural surround-
ings. But should a person be
considered a good parent just for
the bringing forth of a new life?
Simply a parent? or a bad
parent? Good parents have some
of the following characteristics:
(1) honesty, i2 frankness, i3i
live. 141 straight forwardness,
(5) direction. Special courses
show how to help develop the
above characteristics a parent
may not have.

To better prepare ourselves as
Students for our future we have
the opportunity to enroll in the
courses offered in the Child De-
velopment Curriculum at Sa-
vannah State College, The Child
Development courses are cer-
tainly your answer to helping a
person prepare for parenthood.
The Savannah State College
Bulletin lists nine courses which
will assist anyone in their future
parental roles. Child develop-
ment and Nursery School Ob-
servation, Nursery School par-
ticipation are some of the
courses offered. This quarter 1
enrolled in the Child Develop-
ment area, the course has helped

Have You a Religion?

Today we must realize in a
lifetime of groping and effort,
that life on earth without a
religion is a crippled life, all but
impossible.

Note that I say "a religion."
not any particular religion. Be-
cause religion is a force with
this distinction; It is the great-
est single force in the life of
man. especially civilized man.

It works by way of the mind
and by means of the imagina-
tion. Therein lie both its power
and its difficulties. No wires, no
plasters or ointments, can facili-
tate the work of that tremendous
force we call religion. Only the
human mind can do that. We
often say that the human heart
is the key to that door. But what
we really mean, then, is the
human mind, well-disposed. For
the ill-disposed mind seems to
lock all doors to this prepotent
force, just as fear or anger will
automatically stop all digestive
processes or accelerate the
heartbreak, or throw sugar and
adrenalin into the blood, all well-
known physical facts.

That is the terrible thing
about the ill-disposed mind; it
pulls the switch. It locks the
doors to the greatest single force
man can use for his own benefit
and service and for the good of
all his environment and. indeed,
the entire human race. Hence
all the emphasis in all religions
is on good will, on being men of
good will. The first beneficiary
of good will, if you possess it, is
of course, yourself.

The prime objective, therefore,
of all the great religions formu-
lated by man (and how mag-
nificent of them all!) is to con-
vince you and me that we must
positively and absolutely carry a
well-disposed mind about. In so
doing, good-will and the doors
to the tremendous force will be
open to us, and keep opening
wider.

Once we learn to utilize it a
natural question is asked what
have we got? The answer to this
question has occupied human
minds on a scale so broad that
we stand confused and dis-
tracted, like a man standing at
a point from which scores of
crossroads radiate and a thou-
sand loud-speakers are telling
him all at the same time where
to go. Not for nothing has a
great writer called the present
age one of confusion. We are so
confused that vast numbers of
us have given up all thought of
religion, and thus deprived our-
selves of the greatest single force
in human life; so confused, that
many aCcept some self-assertive,
boastful, cruel, vain - glorious
human being as their guide and
the dictator of all their acts,
thoughts, and conscience. It is
not merely a Babel of Tongues
our earth is witnessing, but what
is much more disastrous, a Babel
of Thought, Confusion over-
whelming confounded!

That is why we hear on every
hand that the world is sick.
Sick with a mortal sickness. And
no wonder, for that of which we
human beings, who make up the
world, "have deprived ourselves
our greatest single healing and
integrating force man has yet
discovered," Healing force means
literally "whole-making" force.
That prime force is religion.

The Student Religious Society
aims to show that it is not a
question of magic or great learn-
ing, or any sort of special equip-
ment that is needed to utilize
religion in our lives, but only a
will not unlike the will that
utilizes fresh air, nor cleanliness.

m'H nm umuw of eieits

By CHIP TOLBERT, esquires Fashion Editor

WITH SUMMER just around the corner, it's time to look aliead
t{( St.'!.' wlKit will be worn on the Ijeaches, boats and tennis eoiirts
during the long, lazy sLimmer months. In making your casiialwear
selections, you'll have ample opportunity to exercise your imagi-
nation. However, a few up to the minute tips on the latest fashion
trends can be a big help in guiding your selections.

HOT COLORS and bold color combinations
will .spice lip the beach scene this summer.
Belted swim trunks, usually cut along brief
lines and made of stretch fabrics, promise
to be one of the most popular styles. Most of
these belted briefs, derived from a French
influence, feature husky brass or silver
buckles and very broad belts. White with
contrasting stripes, vivid yellows, and navy-
plus-white combinations are all front and
center color choices.

THE WET LOOK in gleaming vinyl-finished
fabrics will make major news in swim
trunks. Pai'ticularly popular with the Surf-
er Set, The Wet Look again stresses bril-
liant colors in hot combinations. Beach tops
great for pulling on after a swim are
generally cotton knits in varied stylings.
Striped pullovers with boat necks and short
sleeves, striped tank tops or muscle shirts,
and mock turtle necks with a hugger-style
body will be major items. Colors run the
gamut from black, yellow, blue and navy,
through green, white and red in varying
color combinations all geared to dazzle the
eye,

POP 'N OP SWEATSHIRTS, loosely adapted from the latest Art
Woi'ld craze for blatant reproductions of the commonplace and
eye-entrancing moire imprints, should be a big item on the beach
this summer. Colors: hot and bright. Styling adaptations range
from the workman's pullover to the high-styled garment. The tra-
ditional crew neck, long-sleeve sweatshirt invites variations on
the theme with V-necks, short sleeves, various ribbed cottons, and
turtle necks. A big item not only with the college ct jwd but for
the international beachcomber set and sea lovers as well.

THE TENfJIS SCENE for years content with the fairly standard
jill-whi!e appart-l emerges as a contender for fashion honors.
Cotton twill zipper jackets, mesh knit shirts with rib knit collars
and sleeve bands, and brass buckled tennis shorts all add interest
and color to the courts. Look for handsome, lightweight cable knit
sweaters, and crew neck cardigans in fine mesh knits. Co!or
accents are rich and rather subdued.

AWAY ALL BOATS! Boating parkas in bold competition stripes
most frciiueiitly appear in 100% nylon. Bell bottom pants in blue
stretch denim, poplin jackets with a front zipper and drawstring
bottom, and madras shorts complete the yachting picture. Colors
here are bright, bold and original.

THE WELL-SHOD BEACHCOMBER win be

wearing the pupukir blue or white 3-eyelet
tennis sneaker. Variations will include can-
vas-type slip-ons with elasticized gussets in
navy, black, white, sand or faded denim.
Leather and rope-soled sandals will be even
bigger items this year, and will feature
novel strap and buckle treatments.

That's it for this academic year. We've enjoyed it and will be back
with you next September with a new feature of special interest;
Esquire's College Board. The College Board will serve as an "open
ear" on campuses across the country tn keep you up to dale on the
latest regional fashion trends as they break. See you then.

The SSC "M E C U R I A N
TIGERS" met head on in a
triangular track meet with Fort
Valley and Albany State Colleges
at the Albany State College track
field in Albany on March 20- The
Tigers, displaying a brilliant
running game made it known
that on the track they were just
as good or better than any other
teams in the meet.

THE THINCLADMEN of SSC
flashed to a second place finish
in the meet. Because the team
lacked the men in the field
events that would have given
them the final margin needed
for victory.

In this meet James Woods, a
freshman of Savannah, was
awarded a trophy for being "the
most outstanding athlete in the
meet,"

On March 27, Coach Richard
Washington and Albert E.
Frazier, athletic director, along
with 10 sprinters journeyed to
Tallahassee, Florida to partici-
pate in the Florida relays. At
the meet, the Tigers met up with
12 colleges from the strong
SIAC Conference. Even though
the team members did not rack
up enough points to finish in
the top three places, their per-
formance was one to be com-
mended. For they made a superb
showing against members of a
higher conference.

The Tigers were given the
chance to see their own men of
speed and strength In action on
April 3. The tracters of SSC were
a part of a quadrangular meet
with Edward Waters, Paine, and
Albany State colleges. Again on
the track, the Tigers came out
victorious. However, because of
the fact that enough men were
in the field events, our team
finished second behind Edward

the field events.

I employ you to take advan-
tage of courses in this curriculum

running men were exceptionally
good, in that they placed in the

was one of the best 220 yard of
running many people had ever
seen.

SSC At Conference

The Conference track meet
was conducted in Jacksonville,
Florida, at Edward Waters Col-
lege. The team tallied enough
points to finish second as it had
done last year.

On April 30, the Tigers entered
competition for the last time
this season. They participated in
the Tuskegee relays, and after
talking to the coach, and the
members of the track team con-
cerning the outcome of the meet,
it was learned that Southern of
Louisiana was there. Anyone
who is up to date on track news,
knows that this was enough
grounds to figure out who the
winners were. Coach Richardson
felt that the SSC team could
run with any of the teams in the
match with the exception of
Southern. "They were just out
of our class." the Coach said.

The track team regrets the loss
of Tommle Davis, who was hurt
in the first track meet of the
season. Because of the accident.
"T. D." had to have a leg opera-
tion, thus forcing him to with-
draw from school. Davis is a
classified senior, and we hope
that he has fully recovered, so

Student's Responsibility

not with the student himself.
This is a mistaken notion.

Becoming educated is not a
passive process. If one is to learn
and if one is to be able to utilize
what he learns, he must take an
active part in his own education.
Many teachers believe that stu-
dents "learn by doing," "Doing"
implies activity by the student.
This means that the student has
a responsibility for doing some-
thing on his own, independent
of the teachers, to help educate
himself. He must not depend
upon the teacher's work in the
class to supply all the effort he
needs to learn. He must realize
that only a small portion of the
available material on any subject

can be given during a class
period. He must then realize that
if he is to master his subject,
he must go out and seek more
information.

Participation in research,
curiosity, and self - dependent
study are three effective ways
of improving self-education. It
is the feeling of a need for
participating in his own learn-
ing process and of a need to go
beyond the limits of a classroom
lecture which really defines the
student's responsibility for self-
education. Unless the student
feels a need to help educate him-
self, he will not realize his
responsibility. To do this he must
realize that education is not a
passive, but a very active one
for the person who is to be well
educated.

that he can hurry back to school.
Well, sports fans, this wraps
up another year of thrills and
excitements in the world of
sports. So until next fall, "play
for keeps, but keep it clean."

Sports Personality

By Frank EUis, Jr.. Sports Editor

The Tiger's Roar salutes Rob-
ert (Red) Cain, the only active
senior member of the SSC track
team, "Alligator," as he is some-
times called, displayed excellent
sports traits in the track events
which SSC participated in.

Cain, who is a 1961 graduate
of Risley High School, Bruns-
wick, has been a most successful
sportsman on SSC's basketball
and track teams.

As a member of the basketball
team, he excelled as a scorer,
rebounder, and free - throw
shooter. On the track team, he
was well qualified to run the
440 yard dash and participate on
the 880. and mile relay teams.

The versatile 6' 4" athlete has
run the 440 yard dash for the
past four years, and as added
information, he has never been
beaten within the S.E.A.C. Con-
ference.

Because of the fact that Cain
has been an excellent sportsman,
we salute him, and hope that he
wdl continue to be a great
athlete.

Science Areas Explored bj Teachers in IVflrkshiip

Twenty-two elementary teach-
ers participated in the science
workshop which began June 15,
at Savannah State College.

Teachers were given the op-
portunity to explore various
areas in science with hopes that
this will aid them in obtaining
a better understanding of the
science concepts in the physical
and earth sciences.

Some of the teachers selected
rocks as an area of study. They
collected and identified rocks
and attempted to understand
their formations.

The biological basis of living
was the topic for study in the
area of the living sciences. Pro-
toplasm, a living organism, was
discussed.

Teaching aids were prepared
in the form of charts on some
of the biological principles which
will aid in the teaching of sci-
ence.

Simple experiments to make
specific concepts more func-
tional as they relate to the main-
tenance of life in the body were
done by some of the teachers.
Others sought additional infor-

they are experiencing daily in

THE TIGER'S BOAR

No More Sausage Samhviches

By Bertha Mays

On Monday June 14. students entering the Student Center were
quite surprised, If not shocked, to be suddenly taced by rows of
machines Upon Investigation, they found that there were machines
for hot foods, cold foods, sodas, coffee, pastry, lee cream and candy
There was even a machine to change one-dollar bills, and It they
so chose, the students could have their cold foods or pastry heated
in a special oven.

What does all of this mean? Well. It simply means that auto-
mation has come to Savannah State College, Although we have
often heard of It and have read about It. we may not have seriously
thought about automation until now. Now. however, we may find
ourselves asking the question: "Is automation beneficial or
harmful?"

If we were to ask either of the ladles that work In the College
Center the same question, perhaps they would say that It was harm-
ful because at one time they had a thriving job that kept them
occupied most of the time. Now they merely occupy the position of
"Assistants to the Machines " Of course, they may say, on second
thought, that automation Is beneficial because now they have more
time to rest and do not have to stand over the hot stove.

If we were to ask the comptroller the same question, he would
probably say that automation Is beneficial because there is less risk
In the machines. In addition, because he has less employees to
hire, he can cut on the expenses and bo better able to balance his
budget (not saying that the comptroller Is only interested In bal-
ancing the budget).

Finally, If we were to ask the students, they might say that
automotlon is one of our most dreaded progressive enemies because
so many people have been put out of work because of It^and this
Is the opinion that Is shared by most of the rank and file. Another
reason that some students here at Savannah State College might
give for their dislike of our phase of automation is that they have
been deprived of one of their most favorite delicacies, sausage
sandwiches. There'll be no more fifteen-cent sausage sandwiches
at the home of the Tigers,

PURPOSE

By Gloria S. Brown

"Life can only be understood backwards: but
it must be lived forward." Kierkegaard

The major commencement addresses are over for this season
and the newly graduated future leaders of the world are thinking
about the wise pronouncements tucked somewhere in the unused
convolutions- The key word Is "go." These future leaders are
somewhat skeptical about sticking their necks out in "grown-up"
territory. It takes a while to get used to being called Mary Jones,
B.S. degree, and being approached about a problem as though you
are an authority on it. The real worry is how to go forward after
the foundation has been laid, finding a purpose in life and then
going on to higher heights.

How do you go about finding a purpose? Do young people need
to know where they are going before they finish their higher edu-
cational studies? There are those who would answer "yes" to
the latter question without a second thought and feel that the first
has no place in this discussion. They may be right: nevertheless,
there are those who are still going aimlessly in the present and are
not thinking about the Importance of planning for the future. They
have not heard that the day is past for keeping the wind at one's
back. Life must have a steady course planned out while its liver
is ever making room for the new and different.

Self acceptance is high on the list for those seeking purpose
in life. Only if we can accept within reason that which Is given
to present to the world will we find peace of mind This is highly
essential in preserving the energy so needed for greater perspectives
and challenges. Wisdom with understanding is what the wise King
Solomon asked for. Surely if knowledge becomes water running
through a sieve, it is valueless to the learner. Tolerance and
patience are also needed throughout. In the present struggle for
rights, freedom and sanity in a world of levity and brevity, these
are priceless. Finally, a goal must be set. What would you like to
do if you could? All right, then, go ahead.

The future is as much yours as it was for Lincoln, JFK, and/or
L.BJ,, to name a few. A man is great because he happens to be in
the right place at the right time equipped with the right purpose.
Are you ready to go forward with yours?

Graihng; Teaclrers a Way
To Improve Instruflion

Should college students grade
their teachers?

The unusual suggestion is
made in a June Reader's Digest
article by John Fischer, who as-
serts it is one way to raise the
level of teaching competence in
our colleges.

"The harsh truth is that near-
ly all our colleges are capable of
providing for better instruction
than they now put out." say.';
Fischer. "They don't do It sim-
ply because our whole academic
system is now rigged against
good teaching," he adds.

Presently that system is ar-
ranged so that a teacher's per-
formance in the classroom is less
Important than the amount of
work he publishes. Reason: there
is no safe yardstick to measure
teaching quality. Result: pres-
sure on teachers to concentrate
on publication and research, oft-
en at the expense of teaching
ability. The student is the chief
victim of this situation.

The remedy suggested by John
Fischer is one already being used
to some extent at a few univer-
sities notably Harvard and the
University of California at
Berkeley. There, undergraduates
publish their own guides to
teachers and courses. These
publications are based on ques-
tionnaires, filled out confiden-
tially by students as they com-
plete the courses listed. Ratings
of teachers and courses range
from one description of an Eng-
lish instructor as "brilliant, ar-
ticulate and very pleasant." to
the brutally candid report of an-
other man's lectures as "dull,
pedantic and largely irrelevant,"

To the objection that most un-
dergraduates are too immature
to recognize a good teacher,
Fischer replies. "When I was an
undergraduate I knew who my
good teachers were, and the
passing decades have not
changed my view in a single
case." He adds that today's stu-
dents are more serious and de-
manding than those of past dec-
ades, thus are not hkely to mis-
take merely entertaining teach-
ers for competent ones.

To help the program spread.
Fischer suggests that alumni re-
spond to fund appeals from their
schools by asking what the
school is doing to improve its
teaching. He also urges students
to do a little more complaining
when poor teaching is prevalent
or when a good instructor is de-
nied tenure because his publica-
tions are scanty.

"A few dozen letters to the
state's major newspaper, to the
foundations whence come those
lovely grants even to the uni-
versity president might work
wonders," he says.

The article is condensed from
Harper's Magazine.

Innocent Offender May Suffer
Stigma From One Misstep

"Too many young people today
are woefully unaware of the
harm that a police record for a
seemmgly petty violation can do
to their lives."

So writes Judge Jerome M
Lasky in a June Reader's Digest
article. "Hijinks That Can Haunt
Your Life " Judge Lasky. who as
a judge on New York's Nassau
County District Court dealt with
a number of offenders from 16
to 19 years of age. warns that
however petty an offense may
seem at the time, the offender
may find many career doors
closed to him forever because of
his police record.

Such a record could make it
impossible to enter a profession
where a special license is needed,
such as law or real estate brok-
erage. It could hurt a young
man's chances of acceptance
into the armed services, or deny
him promotion to officer status
if he is accepted. Many business
firms are similarly reluctant to
hire young men with records, or
to promote them if they are
hired.

Judge Lasky notes that many
youngsters get into trouble be-
cause they step over the line be-
tween high-spirited fun and le-
gal offense. These "innocent of-

Negro Student Studies
Law at Harvard

David Hutchinson, a sopho-
more honor student in political
science at Grambling College, is
one of 40 undergraduates from
predominantly Negro colleges at-
tending a special summer pro-
gram at the Harvard University
Law School. Cambridge, Mass.

The purpose of the institute
is to encourage outstanding Ne-
gro college students to pursue
law as a possible career.

All expenses, including travel,
tuition, room and board, and liv-
ing allowances, are covered by a
grant from the Rockefeller
Foundation.

Students in the Harvard law
school program were selected
from more than 300 applicants.

Hutchinson has been on the
dean's honor list since enrolling
in Grambling. He earned a per-
fect 4,0 average for the 1964-65
fall semester.

fenders" are normally law-abid-
ing citizens whose one misstep
often results in long-term pun-
ishment, even if the court-s set
them free. Typical were the
three young men who decided to
go swimming in the nude. They
were arrested by a passing offi-
cer and pleaded guilty to inde-
cent exposure. Just a high-spir-
ited impulse, yet they'll have it
on their records for life.

The Digest article offers a
number of tips for staying out of
trouble- Among them are these.

1) Avoid showing disrespect to
a police officer, especially if
there's a crowd gathered. An act
of defiance may force an officer
to make an arrest, even though
he may dislike taking a step that
could damage a youngster's life.

2) Don't "stand around" If a
gang fight or other riot is taking
place. Innocent bystanders are
sometimes arrested by policemen
who are unable to tell those who
are involved from those who are
not.

Laws are there to protect all
of us. Its benefits are distribut-
ed impartially, and so are its
penalties. "Innocent offenders"
can be hurt as much by these
penalties as those who deliber-
ately set out to break the law.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

160 Students Make Spring Quarter
Honor Roll And Dean's List

CHARTER MEMBERS Of ha L. Douglass. Jr.. Clementine Free-
man, Earline Freeman. Robert Joiner, and Charles Smalls were the
first students at SSC to be inducted into Alpha Phi Gamma Honor-
ary Journalism Fraternity.

APG Honor So(^iety Is

Organized At SSC

Alpha Phi Gamma, a national
honorary journalism fraternity,
was organized here at Savannah
State College on June 1. by eight
members of the college family.

Jim Bisson, Public Relations
Director for the Georgia Ports
Authority, gave the organization
address at the group's induction
ceremony which was conducted
in the A-V Center of the College
Library.

The installation of the honor-
ary society at SSC stands as a
historic event because Savannah
State is the only deep-south col-
lege to be granted a charter by
the fraternity's national head-
quarters-

Five students who were in-
ducted into the organization in-
clude Clemontine Freeman of
Midway, senior, physical educa-
tion major; Charles Smalls of
Savannah, senior, Sociology ma-
jor; Earline Freeman of Atlanta,
senior, Spanish major; Otha
Douglas of Savannah, junior, Bi-
ology major; and Robert Joiner
of Covington, sophomore, Eng-
lish major. Smalls will serve as
the group's first president.

Three faculty advisors whoTe^
ceived membership in the na-I
tional organization are Isaiah
Mclver. assistant professor of so-l
cial sciences; Robert Holt, assis-J
tant professor of English; and/
Wilton C. Scott, director of Pub-i
lie Relations and Coordinator oi
student publications.

The purposes of the fraternity
are to recognize individual abil-
ity and achievement in journal-
istic pursuits; to promote the
welfare of the college through
journalism; to establish cordial
relationships between students
and members of the profession;
and to unite, in a fraternal way,
congenial students interested in
journalism.

CAMPUS
COMEDY

By Brciida Truedell

A continuing student entered
the campus center the other day,
only to find that several changes
had taken place. Lo and behold!
There stood before his eyes these
big ferocious money-eating mon-
sters! "Well." the student re-
plied, "automation has done it
again."

A pledgee here on campus went
up to one of her friends and
asked, "what Roman numeral
can climb a wall?" Very quickly
she replied, "I haven't the
sliglitest idea." The pledgee an-
swered, "Oil, that's a simple one.
What else could it be but IV
(ivy)?"

In order to explain more clear-
ly to his physics class what is
meant by an infinite distance, a
professor used this simple exam-
ple: "It is that distance which
the dean of women would like to
use to separate the men's dormi-
tory from the women's dormito-
ry."

Criteria for membership in the
honorary society are (1) student
must be an undergraduate pos-
sessing good scholastic standing
and <2) student must be able to
meet other requirements set by
the national headquarters.

Edmator Witl
Di'liver Lecture

At SSC

Dr. Milton S- J. Wright, edu-
cator, lecturer, and author of
Wilberforce University, delivered
a lecture to students and faculty
of Savannah State College on
Friday, July 16, at 11:30 a.m. in
Meldrim Auditorium.

The lecture was a part of the
Library Lecture Series sponsored
by the Field Foundation.

Dr. Wright, who received the
doctorate degree in economics
from the University of Heidel-
berg in Germany, discussed the
"Intellectual Involvement in the
Learning Process."

In addition to being one of
America's foremost educators, he
has engaged in several summer
and special studies at Harvard
University, the University of Ox-
ford, the University of Berlin,
and the University of Geneva at
the League of Nations Institute
in 1930-32.

ter than a woman if you want
to spend money where it'll show,

One hundred-sixty students
made the honor roll and 46 made
the dean's list for the spring
quarter at Savannah State Col-
lege. Persons witli an average of
3.50 or higher on a full program
during the spring quarter, 1965.

^diaries Smalls' Poem
Gets National Recognition

It was recently learned that a
poem by Charles Smalls, a senior
Sociology major of Savannah,
has been published in the 1965
Anthology of College Poetry,
America Sings.

The anthology is a compila-
tion of the best of the thirty
thousand manuscripts submitted
by students representing the
leading colleges in the United
States for publication by the Na-
tional Poetry Press of Los Ange-
les, California.

In an interview, Smalls said
that his poem entitled "The Sac-
rifice," "is written in the classi-
cal tradition based on a Greek
myth in which a wounded and
yet immortal centaur gives up
his life in behalf of the con-
demned Greek god, Prometheus."

"My attempt was to express in
verse the true meaning of hu-
manity," Smalls said. "I do not
believe that the average person
today recognizes or concerns
himself with the need for bet-
ter human relations, nor do I be-
lieve that the average person has
an enduring love for his fellow
man.

"Because of these doubts, I at-
tempted to focus on one human-
itarian deed as recorded in

CAMPUS POLL

By Barbara J. Moody

The primary objective of a li-
brary is to give service. With the
knowledge of this fact we won-
dered how many of our students
availed themselves of the service
that our very able Library Staff
offers us. We asked a cross-sec-
tion of SSC students the follow-
ing questions: Have you visited
the library this summer? If so,
for what reasons?

Marie Smith "Yes, to get out
a class assignment."

Leroy Lock ha r(^" Yes. To get
out a report."

Marvin Foston "Yes. For a
class project."

Evelyn Scarborough "No. I
use the library at home."

Curtis Fleming "Yes, to get
out homework."

Izetta McFell "Yes, to get out
class assignments."

Margaret B. Allen "Yes, to do
leisure reading."

Gwendolyn S. Brown "Yes.
To complete an assignment."

We conclude that a large per-
centage of our students are
availing themselves of the serv-
ices of the library.

CLUB &
CAMPUS
FASHIONS

By CHIP TOLBERT, esquires Fashion Editor

IN SPRING, ii colleKc miui-.s fancy turns iiievitiibly to thoughts
of the summer holidays that lie ahead. After long, ciJimped, winter
months indoors, ciimpiis life moves outside, takes a deep breath
and relaxes. Anil there's no better time than now to bring your
spring sportswear up to date.

SPRING FEVER and rising temperatures
.-lie a poi-fect backdrop for the resurgence of
sctrsucker. Spring 'G5 will see some signifi-
cant variatioii.s in the classic-seersucker line,
though the blue and white stripe will contin-
ue to be the odds-on campus favorite. Sport
jackets and walk shorts will be bolder and
brighter in stripes, checks, and plaids, par-
ticularly Glen plaids. In suits, the Natural
Shoulder, single-breasted styling will pre-
dominate, but the double-breasted seersucker
suit will put in an appearance.

SEERSUCKER PLUS BLUE PLUS-the

complete range of blues from pale to Navy
coordinated with yellow tones from pale
lemon to deep, dusky golds adds a lively
note to your spring sportswear. Colorful
shirt jacs and traditionally styled button-
down shirts will feature a very fine pin
stripe. And, incidentally, an excellent addi-
tion to your spring/summer wardrobe is a
colorful seersucker robe for dormitory and
beach wear.

WHERE THERE'S A WILT, there's a way to combat it. Gcerally,
lightweight seersucker and cool linen blends are perfect fabrics
for lint weather wear since they maintain a trim, neat appearance
longest. Wash and wear features, standard in spring and summer
suits, offer college men a definite and practical fashion bonus. And
altho'igh Spring is a time for casual dress, it's not a time foF a
casual attitude toward your personal grooming habits: a neat,
fashionable appearance is mandatory the year "round.

IN LINEN APPAREL crease resistance is enhanced
with a linen/ polyester blend. Another plus for
linen is its slightly heavier weight which
makes it ideal for the Shaped Look, an important
styling trend that tends to follow more closely the
natural contour of the body in suits and sport
jackets. Light, natural shades will predominate,
but brighter colors and bolder patterns will be
seen particular^' in an unusual yellow-orange tone.
The color coordinated linen suit with, for example,
a tan and natural checked jacket and neutral toned
slacks is a perfect coordination scheme. An excel-
lent combination is the Navy blazer with white or
barely discernible muted plaid slacks.

MADDER MADRAS win splash onto the campus scene in brilUant
colors and striking patterns. India bleeding madras in which the
colors tend to blend after wa.shings still rates first choice in walk
shorts and sport shirts. A solid madras patchwork design the
"crazy* quilt" patterns will continue to be big campus favorite-
Next month we'll round off the academic year with a survey of
summer shorts, lightweight suits, summer blazers and beach wear.
See you then.

Facts From The
Reader's Digest

American railroads have spent
20 billion dollars since World
War II on capital improvements
and will spend a record-break-
ing additional 1.6 billion dollars
this year, according to the June
Reader's Digest. One advance Is
continuous-welded jointless rail
allowing heavier loads, higlier
speeds and more intensive use
on more than 11.000 miles of
track. (Reader's Digest.)

In Jerusalem, a zoo has been
established where the only ani-
mals are those mentioned in the
Bible, notes Reader's Digest.
Next to each is a label quoting
the Biblical references. (Read-
er's Digest.)

Of the 94 men appointed to
the U. S. Supreme Court in its
175-year history, Reader's Digest
says Justice John Marshall Har-
lan is the first with a direct an-
cestor who served in a similar
capacity. He was named for that
ancestor his grandfather John
Marshall Harlan who in turn
had been named after the great
Chief Justice John Marshall.
(Reader's Digest.)

Without taxes, gasoline sells
for nearly ten cents a gallon less
than it did in 1920, reports the
June Reader's Digest. Though
cars are heavier, the cost of gas-
oline per mile for all cars has
gone down from 1.78 cents in
1953 to 1.66 cents in 1963, includ-
ing taxes. And today's premium
gasoline is as powerful as the
fuel burned by fighter planes in
World War II. (Reader's Digest.)

The aqua-lung, or scuba, in-
vented by Frenchman Jacques-
Yves Cousteau. says Reader's Di-
gest, permits divers to prowl the
bottom of the sea as deep as 150
feet, thus opening up nearly two
million square miles of drowned
land which man has never seen
before. (Reader's Digest,)

Family doctors are becoming
fewer. In the last 15 years, re-
ports the June Reader's Digest.
as more and more doctors have
gone into specialties, govern-
ment service or administrative
jobs, the number of general
practitioners in private practice
has shrunk from more than
95.000 to barely 68,000. (Reader's
Digest,)

The 56-hour week of the early
19O0's has shrunk to 40 hours
even to 35 hours in many big-
city offices.. Where three quar-
ters of our blue-collar workers
had no paid vacations as recent-
ly as 1940. today's blue- and
white-collar people alike, says
Reader's Digest, generally enjoy
three weeks vacation with pay.
And the four-week vacation al-
ready a fact in the automobile
industry is coming fast. (Read-
er's Digest)

Speech and Hearing Specialist
Lectures to Workshoppers

Members of the educational
workshop and a class taking a
course in the Exceptional Chil-
dren gathered in the auditorium
of Sol C, Johnson High School
Thursday morning to hear a con-
sultant. Dr, W, William, speak on
the topic. "Problems in Com-
munication,"

Dr, William, a specialist in the
field of speech and hearing, is
an audiologist and director of
the hearing and speech center in
Savannah, Georgia.

He began his talk by pointing
out the characteristics of speech
and hearing difficulties which
are, interference with communi-
cation; draws attention to itself
and makes the speaker malad-
justed.

Four examples of speech prob-
lems were given by tlie use of a
tape. These gave a clearer view
of what speech problems really
are. The examples showed de-
layed speech in a four and a half
year old boy; stuttering in an in-
dividual; the speech of a stroke
victim; voice problems of a 32
year old woman and the begin-
ning of communication for an
eleven months old baby.

Several causes of speech prob-
lems were stressed. These were;
faulty structures in the mouth;
damage to the brain, mental re-
tardation, hearing deficit; and
environmental factors.

"Parents too demanding of
child's speech performing causes
stuttering." says Dr, William.
"This starts when the child is
four years old." He gave ways
that the teacher can help a child
who stutters in the classroom
and asked for ways that were
used by those present.

Examples of different types of
hearing impairments were given
and hearing aids used from 1936
to 1965 were on hand for inter-
ested persons to see. In 1935, the

hearing aid was a compact-like
object with an earphone at-
tached by a cord, the one used
now is made on the glasses of
the person who has a hearing
impairment.

The participant's interest in
speaking and hearing difficulties
was deeply aroused for many
questions were asked.

Blalock Demonstrates Effective Teaching

By George Jones

Mrs. V. R, Blalock. first grade
teacher at Sol C. Johnson High
School, instructs the summer
demonstration class of the Edu-
cational Workshop. She Is doing
an awe-inspiring job with this
group of 38 pupils ranging from
kindergarten to the ninth grade.

Educational workshoppers have
observed Mrs. Blalock employ
the ungraded grouping plan with
her class, and have concluded
that she is the teacher that they
will strive to be, because she
does such an effective job.

Her efficiency has resulted
from hard work and not a prod-
uct of chance.

Mrs. Blalock contends that a
class can best proceed when th>.'
students possess various back-
grounds and experiences. She
boasts of the fact that her class
is composed of shrimp-packers"
children as well as the children
of the professionals.

Since working with the work-

Ladies' Diets. H;iir Dves

As we look around our campus
today we see brunettes, redheads
and even a few blondes, now and
then. A blonde today might be
a brunette tomorrow, and that
same brunette may become a
redhead weeks later.

Several students have made
comments on this new trend.
Most of them claim that there
are times when they can not
even identify their best girl
friends due to constant change
of hair color.

Well these people are only
having a small problem with
this hair coloring business but
the State Motor Vehicle Depart-
ments have a larger one.

The State Motor Vehicle De-
partments recognized two facts
about today's women: they are
constantly changing the color of
their hair, and constantly diet-
ing. For this reason several
states' new drivers' licenses list-
ing for hair color and weight
have been eliminated.

In the past, a woman received
a new license every time she
changed the color of her hair.
After all, hair color is the first
thing a policeman would look for
in finding a woman in a stolen
car. But the departments have
admitted that so many times
women retint their hair that pa-
per work would be impossible to
keep up with. The fact that
women are constantly dieting
means that their weights are
continually changing as well.

Reports of this change have
gone out to all of the State Mo-
tor Vehicle Departments in the
United States.

So don't be surprised, young
ladies, if you find these items
missing on your license next
year. After all we asked for it,
didn't we?

"Two friends, a chicken and a
pig, were walking together down
a street. As they approached a
restaurant advertising a special
on ham and eggs, the chicken
said to the pig, 'Let's go in here
and have some lunch.' The pig,
noting the day's special, said 'No
indeed, I don't want to go in
there. For you that's a contribu-
tion; for me it's a total commit-
ment." "

Told by a Trustee at a recent
Leadership Conference at one of
our college clients when speak-
ing of the necessity for thought-
ful giving and all-out support on
all levels of capacity.

years, the Johnson staff has no-
ticed remarkable improvement
in a quality of work that her
summer school students have
achieved.

She feels that If a child is In
the 2nd grade, he should be do-
ing 2nd grade work. "I really
don't feel comfortable until I
am sure that all of my students
are working to their maximum
potentials," says Mrs. Blalock.

According to Mrs. Blalock,
training is only a portion of the
requirement for an effective
teacher. It takes a great deal of
energy to get pupils to produce
and unless the teacher possesses

such energy, her teaching will be
In vain.

In answering the question,
how does she achieve a student-
centered environment in the
classroom, she replied, "When
students are motivated to the
extent that they want to do
within the classroom and are al-
lowed enough freedom to achieve
their goals, the class is well on Its
way to being student centered.

Mrs, Blalock is happy with her
summer position because she Is
at liberty to teach In any way,
using various methods of ap-
proach that she feels will bring
out effective results.

shop take lime to pose ivitli their teacher, Mrs. Blalock, .second from

Savannah State
Holds Art Exhibit

The Advanced Public School
Art class will present an Art Ex-
hibit July 22-23, 1965. The ex-
hibit will be held on the third
floor of Hill Hall on the campus.
Some features of the students'
work this summer include the
enormous stitchery-tapestries by
Vernedia Johnson and Hattle
Moore. Their projects evolved
around the possibilities of using
new techniques and materials in
public school art projects. The
results of their experiments have
been amazing.

Lena Bauknight became en-
gaged In considerable depth
searching for newer methods to
employ plastic containers as an
art medium the results are
startling, if one can imagine a
pig being made out of a plastic
bottle.

THE TIGER'S ROAR

July-August. 1965

Seventeen Schools
In Two Lilnaiy CI

There were 50 persons In the
two library classes conducted
here at Savannah State College
this summer. These persons rep-
resented 17 schools, 12 counties
and three states.

To some persons, the comple-
tion of a new career as a libra-
rian. To others, it represented
increased knowledge in one of
the most important areas In the
school's curriculum the library.

While studying School Library
Administration. Organization,
Cataloguing and Classification,
the students attempted to gain
some proficiency in the setting
up and operating of school li-
braries.

The main objectives of the
courses were (1) to acquaint the
students with the development
of libraries and the profession
of librarianship In the United
States. (2t to give the student an
understanding of the role of the
library in the modern school,
131 to help develop an under-
standing of the purposes and ne-
cessity for organizing library ma-
terials, iA) to provide the essen-
tlLil skills for competent leader-
slilp in the dynamic school li-
brary program, and (5) to gain
elementary skills in the cata-
loguing and classification of
books.

The courses consisted of lec-
turi's. discussions, and laborato-
ry work. This gave the students
a chance to become fully orient-
ed into some of the problems
they would encounter once on
the job.

Teachers and other school per-
sonnel are now beginning to re-
alize the many services given to
thoni by the librarian. This was
pointed out very vividly in the
ALA Bulletin, February 1963.
These services are all important
in the education efforts to do
quality teaching. The day of the
stereotyped classroom with a
corner for library books is out-
dated. The trend now is toward
the library as a multi-media cen-
ter Including many materials for
learning.
