PATRICIA BROWN
With the inception of the
1965-66 school term, you are en-
tering Savannah State College,
"the land of beginning again."
We, at some time or another.
have dreamed of great deeds and
high positions away from the or-
dinary life. To achieve these
positions, one must develop good
study habits leading to high
scholastic performance in order
to reach the goals of success that
await us in the world of tomor-
row.
Making a new start in a dif-
ferent environment means that
you, as a freshman, will have to
adjust to college life; It means,
also, that you as a freshman will
have to apply yourself to the ex-
pectations of the college.
As one of your student repre-
sentatives, I extend to you, on
hehalf of the Savannah State
College body, a hearty welcome,
and wish for you a successful
school term in all of your studies.
Cordially yours,

The Intellectual Center of the Campus The General Curriculum
The library of a college is one of its most prized possessions.
The adequacy of Its resources and the nature of its services to
students and faculty largely determine the quality of the academic
program. On the Savannah State College campus, the library is an
indispensible unit which undergirds the instructional program as
well as contributes to the recreational reading interests. The library
is not an adjunct to teaching but the heart of the learning process.
Centrally located on the campus, the recently built building of
modular construction provides excellent facilities which make the
library a compelling educational force in the life of the college
students. One of the most pleasant features of the building is the
open stack area; therefore, there are no barriers between books and
readers. Completely air conditioned, the library includes two spa-
cious main reading rooms, periodical reading area, circulation de-
partment, reference department, curriculum materials center, music
room with listening equipment, a seminar room, three private
studies, an audio-visual center, a processing department and a staff
lounge.
The library staff and faculty are busy assembling a notable
collection to be used in active support of the academic curriculum.
Assembling a book collection is not enough! The librarian and his
staff actively encourage students to use books with an emphasis on
the role that books play in the intellectual life of the academic
community. The resources of the library include 51.250 volumes,
several thousand pamphlets, 610 periodicals and 26 newspapers. The
London Times, the New York Times and the Savannah Morning;
News are on microfilm.
As the intellectual center of the campus, the library offers the
students, faculty and members of the community a variety of
services.
"Let's Listen to a Story Hour." under the direction of Miss Al-
thea Williams. Circulation Librarian, is held weekly for the children
of the community. Dr. Samuel Johnson said, "Those who do not
read can have nothing to think and little to say." Since Dr. John-
son is highly regarded in our community, a Great Books Discussion
Group, under the sponsorship of the library has been organized to
encourage people to read and meet together to discuss great books.
Dr. J. W. Jamerson, a local dentist, and E. J. Josey, Librarian, are
the co-leaders of the group. Exhibitions of paintings by some of
the world's great artists are displayed in the library periodically.
A recently inaugurated lecture series has truly the library market
of ideas.
All in all, the library of Savannah State College is an essential
instrument in the life of the academic community.

The General Education Pro-
gram proposes to provide oppor-
tunities for all students to ac-
quire the basic skills, attitudes,
habits, appreciations and under-
standings requisite for the good
life.
It seeks to guarantee to all
students competency in commu-
nication and thinking. It further
proposes to orient students to-
ward and to sensitize them to
human and universal good and
to the worth and dignity of every
human being.
At this college the general cur-
riculum is preoccupied with the
major disciplines that:
1.
Acquaint the students with
broad areas of knowledge
and human experience;
Give them an understand-
ing of themselves, their cul-
ture and physical environ-
ment.
3. Provide the students with a
sound intellectual and
moral foundation upon
which character and pro-
fessional and vocational
opportunities may rest.
The program is concerned
generally with freshman and
sophomore students. However,
some attention is devoted to stu-
dents on the junior and senior
level of their intellectual matu-
ration. In this respect, general
education is an integral phase of
the experience of all students
who matriculate for a degree at
the College.
The General Education Pro-
gram is under the general super-
vision of the Genera] Education
Committee and the Coordinator
of General Education. The Com-
mittee consists of students and
faculty members.
Divisional And Departmental Programs
Division of Business Administration
Haytvard S. Anderson, Chairman
The main purpose of the Division of Busi-
ness Administration is to afford students a
sound educational foundation for socially ef-
rfj < ^5j lective. gainful work in the business world
9r^~ $ Specifically, through cumcular offerings, su-
^^ pervised work experience, and individual coun-
\r^* seling this division prepares students for: (1)
\^ L, ^ employment as bookkeepers, accountants, sec-
^^^^^^^H retaries, stenographers, and salesmen; (2) op-
^^^L ^^| eration, management, and ownership of busi-
ness enterprises; <3> teaching business sub-
jects in the secondary school; (41 further study in accounting, busi-
ness economics, general business, secretarial science, and business
education.
To realize these aims the division offers courses leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Business Administration, and a terminal pro-
gram leading to a certificate of proficiency.
DEGREE PROGRAMS
A student in business administration may pursue a major in one
of three areas: (1) general business administration, (2) economics,
and (3) secretarial science. The total quantitative requirement for
the degree in this division is 195 quarter hours. The total includes
a common general education sequence and a major-minor concen-
tration. The student may elect a major-minor concentration within
this division or a major in this divis,on and, with express approval
of the Chairman of this division, a related minor in another division.
Everyone who undertakes work toward a degree in the Division
of Business Administration must confer with his adviser during
each quarter, regarding choice of courses. Specifically, every busi-
ness administration major must have the written approval of the
chairman of this division before registering in junior and senior
courses.
Persons desiring to become certified as teachers of business and
distributive education subjects in the secondary school must meet
requirements set up by the Division of Teacher Education and Cer-
tification. A minimum of 45 hours in business education courses
and 46 hours in professional education courses are required in addi-
tion to the general education courses. The approved program for
teachers of business subjects is listed under caption of the Depart-
ment of Secondary Education.

Division of Education
Dr. Calvin L. Kiah, Chairman
The Division of Education at Savannah
State College is a member of the Association
of Colleges for Teachers Education. It offers
twelve curricula in teacher preparation and a
program of basic training for teacher-libra-
rians. These programs are approved by the
State Department of Education. This means
that satisfactory completion of any program
brings automatic certification in the field of
study pursued.
A person majoring in Education at Savannah State College is
the concern of every division and department of the College, there-
The essential aim of the De-
partment of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation is to
afford professional training for
pre-service and in-service teach-
ers of health, physical education.
and recreation in the elementary
and secondary schools. A parallel
aim is advisement. The aim is to
provide for all students instruc-
tion in the basic principles of
health and recreational activity
in Education, with a concentra-
tion in health, physical educa-
tion, and recreation.
In addition, for all students
enrolled in teacher education
curricula at Savannah State Col-
lege, this department provides
basic training in supervision of
one or more phases of a compre-
hensive health, physical educa-
tion, and recreation program in
the schools of Georgia. This
phase of the work is provided
either in selected specialized
courses or in a minor sequence.
Further, for all students enrolled
at the college, this department
provides instruction in the fun-
damental concepts and activities
of health, physical education,
and recreation as an essential
phase of general education.
Finally, this department serves
the college community through
instruction and leadership in the
intramural program. The intra-
mural program is, in effect, a
laboratory in which students en-
joy practicing the skills learned
in general service courses and
relish competing with their
peers.
fore, the resources and facilities-as well as the interest and efforts
of the entire institution, are at his disposal.
Aside from a strong academic classroom program in general,
specialized, and professional education, the teaching major at
Savannah State College has rich, varied, and meaningful laboratory
experience which brings one into constant contact with children
and youth.
College-Wide Provision For Teacher Education
The Division comprises three departments: the Department of
Elementary Education; the Department of Health, Physical Educa-
tion and Recreation; and the Department of Secondary Education.
The preparation of teachers is. however, a college-wide commitment.
Because every division and department at the College is involved in
training teachers in some subject matter field, this function engages
the constant interest and efforts, staff resources, and facilities of
the entire institution.
Department of Health, Physical Education and
Recreation
Division of Humanities
Dr. Forrest O. Wiggins, Chairman
Philosophy and Purposes
The humanities embrace those skills, un-
derstandings, and appreciations which make
tor a well-rounded, happy lite The humanities
are concerned with humane values, exalting
the life of man. This, the impact of mind
upon mind great minds of the past upon
sensitive minds of the present constantly
points the way to the good life.
Specifically, the Division of Humanities
provides opportunity for study and analyses of
the language, literature, art, and music of the
world The study and analyses are aimed at motivating the student
to expand his aesthetic horizon, to enliven his spirit of mventive-
needed for wholesome living.
In pursuance of the foregoing
aims, this Department provides
a four-fold program of instruc-
tion. For students who plan to
become professional workers in
the field of health, physical ed-
ucation, and recreation either
in schools or in other agencies
the department offers a se-
quence of specialized training to
the degree of Bachelor of Science

ness and individuality, and to acquire a finer appreciation and
understanding of the human spirit.
This division comprises the Department of English, the Depart-
ment of Fine Arts, and the Department of Modern Languages.
Department of English
The aims of the Department
of English are: ill to develop
proficiency in oral and written
language; (2) to assist in devel-
oping an appreciation for good
literature; (3) to encourage a
deep perceptiveness of mind, to
make it more flexible and in-
quisitive; (4) to reveal the op-
eration of the human spirit in
our civilization. The ultimate
aim of the department is a qual-
ity of mind, rather than a mere
accumulation of information.
The student who has success-
fully pursued English as his ma-
jor subject is expected to dem-
onstrate a facility in distin-
guishing between that which is
genuinely great and that which
is less great in literature and
human values. He should have
more than a passing acquain-
tance with a representative num-
ber of masterpieces in English.
American, and world literature.
He should have adequate facil-
ity, taste, and understanding in
expression; and he should have
knowledge of principal literary
genres, periods, and authors.
PLAN OF STUDY
All freshman students are
given a placement test in Eng-
lish. They are then grouped on
the basis of achievement in the
test. Superior students may be
permitted to register in Humani-
ties 102. Others are assigned to
appropriate sections of Humani-
ties 101. Before advancing to
Humanities 102 all students must
clearly satisfy stated minimum
standards in speaking and writ-
ing,
A student majoring in English
language and literature will
complete fifty - eight quarter
hours in language, composition,
literature, and speech offered by
the Department of English. One
taking a minor in English will
complete thirty quarter hours.
Not more than one course in
composition may be taken at a
time.
The curriculum for prospective
teachers of English in the secon-
dary school is listed under cap-
tion of the Department of Sec-
ondary Education.
In the area of music, the De-
partment of Fine Arts at Savan-
nah State College offers a major
program leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Music
Education and two minor pro-
grams one for prospective
teachers in the secondary schools
and a non-teaching program. All
of the curricula have been ap-
proved by the three national ac-
crediting agencies The Music
Teachers National Association,
the National Association of
Schools of Music and the Music
Educators National Conference,
as well as by the State Board of
Certification and the Board of
Regents of the University Sys-
tem of Georgia.
Courses include intensive work
in theory, history and literature,
performance, applied music, con-
ducting and music education. Al-
though 75 hours are required for
state certification, a total of 82
hours constitutes the four-year
music requirement at the Col-
lege. Previous training of at least
two years in any applied area is
required of all prospective ma-
jors, but skilled aptitude is rec-
ognized and accepted in lieu of
this requirement if necessary.
Most majors must pursue four
years of training in piano, voice,
or another instrument as well as
the same amount of time in
their applied major area. In ad-
dition to the music courses, all
candidates for a degree take a
large complement of courses in
general education and the pro-
fessional sequences.
The five musical organizations
The Marching Band. The Con-
cert Band, The Choral Society,
The Women's Glee Club and The
Men's Glee Club are each di-
rected by a full-time faculty
member and provide ample op-
portunity for students inside and
outside of the department to re-
ceive experiences in public per-
formance which range from pro-
grams on the campus at assem-
blies, church services, vespers,
and special programs, to local
television appearances, concerts
in the community, athletic games
away from home, and concert
tours in several states.
One of the most important op-
erations in this department is
the awarding each year of a
number of scholarships, called
grants-in-aid, which are given
to capable, worthy applicants in
all organizations upon recom-
mendation of the department.
Depending upon the aptitude,
academic standing, and financial
need of the student, these
awards are sufficient at times to
provide tuition for a full year.
Grants are made, however, only
to applicants who file the neces-
sary forms, are recommended by
the department, and are ap-
proved by the Committee on
Scholarships. Recipients, encour-
aged to apply in the spring, are
usually notified during the sum-
mer, well in advance of the open-
ing of the Fall Quarter.
As for facilities, the Depart-
ment at the present time occu-
pies the entire third floor of Hill
Hall and the Morgan Hall Annex,
but plans have just been com-
pleted for the construction of a
new Fine Arts Building which
will house the entire Depart-
ment. The present facilities pro-
vide space for classes, organiza-
tional rehearsals, practice peri-
ods, listening room, and offices.
Pianos are provided for practice,
and band instruments are pro-
vided, both without charge. Com-
plete uniforms, robes, stoles, and
blazers are also furnished to
members of the various organi-
zations.
For any additional informa-
tion concerning the Department,
please feel free to address your
inquiries to Dr. Coleridge A.
Braithwaite. Chairman, Depart-
ment of Fine Arts, Savannah
State College.

A Career in Ail Can Have Many Rewards
The rewards can be great for
a person with or without "artis-
tic talent." To gain these re-
wards, one needs only the desire
to learn and a good place in
which to learn. The Art Depart-
ment at Savannah State College
provides students with an ade-
quate environment for learning.
If one has the desire, then he
can progress at Savannah State
College.
The Art Department is located
in new quarters, especially de-
signed and equipped with mod-
ern studios and lecture rooms
being brought up-to-date, mak-
ing it possible to teach the latest
use of books and methods in
lithography, etching, serigraphy,
ceramic, sculpture, and painting.
Students who have studied art
at Savannah State College have
<-eaped many rewards. Some
e won large sums of money
rt competition. Some are en-
iig the success of exhibiting
,_-ir art at qualified galleries.
One former student is in the
Pentagon in Washington. D. C
where he is using the knowledge
of art acquired here. Others
have successful careers as teach-
ers of art. And. still others have
gone on to more advanced
studies in schools throughout the
country.
Art students at Savannah
State College occasionally have
opportunities of getting first-
hand experience, as a number of
art jobs of short duration come
into the Art Department. There
are some jobs of a more perma-
nent nature waiting to be filled.
The Art Department is pre-
pared and eager to help students
in many ways. The rewards can
be plentiful for those who are
seeking; and when they acquire
a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Art Education, they will find
that rewards other than salary,
position, dignity, or fame await
them. They may learn, ulti-
mately, to enrich their lives with
things which do not pass so
quickly; for, to know and to be
able to enjoy knowing is indeed
a divine reward.
tors of medicine cannot be over stressed WE NEED TRAINED DOC-
TORS TODAY. We also need other health personnel, dentists,
nurses, pharmacists, etc. 2> WE NEED TRAINED CHEMISTS. We
need the trained chemists to help us live better; develop new prod-
ucts for human consumption; work in our defense plants, and m
many other ways. 3) WE NEED TRAINED BIOLOGISTS. We need
the trained biologists to help others to understand the living organ-
isms within our environment; for research work in medicine, den-
tistry, and other areas including health. 4) WE NEED TRAINED
MATHEMATICIANS AND PHYSICISTS. The Space Age, the launch-
ing of satellites, preparation of machines for defense purposes, are
only a few reasons why we need men well prepared in mathematics
and physics.
The Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics attempts to
prepare and implement good teaching programs in the areas of
mathematics and the natural sciences. It cooperates with the other
divisions of the College and the Administration in the preparation
of the total school program.
The objectives of this Division may be stated as; (1) to provide
for all students that knowledge which is essential to an understand-
ing of the scientific basis of living, together with an appreciation
of the contributions to the sciences to the cultural heritage; (2) to
train persons adequately through the media of advanced courses
for entry into the professional study of dentistry, medicine, and
nursing' (3i to prepare persons to teach the natural sciences and
mathematics in the secondary schools, or to continue study on the
graduate level; (4) to provide service courses for students concen-
trating in other divisions of the College.
Department of Modern Languages
The Department of Modern
Languages offers instruction in
three languages: French, Ger-
man and Spanish. The primary
aim of the members of the De-
partment is to teach the student
to understand, speak, read and
write these languages so that he
may communicate with others
who speak them. This instruc-
tion is carried on in daily reci-
tations in the classroom and also
in a modern twenty booth labor-
atory where the students can in-
crease their proficiency by lis-
tening to and repeating exercises
of various types especially pre-
pared for this purpose. For stu-
dents who wish to develop more
than an elementary proficiency
in French or Spanish, the De-
partment offers courses leading
to a minor in either language. It
also offers courses leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in
Education with a concentration
either in French or Spanish.
Outside of the field of educa-
tion, a person with a major in a
foreign language can find em-
ployment in several areas. First,
there is the area of organizations
more or less international in
character. Because of the nature
of its work, there is almost a
constant demand at the United
Nations Headquarters for men
and women who are proficient
in foreign languages.
Division of Natural Sciences
Dr. Booker T. Griffith, Chairman
The Division of Natural Sciences is one of
the major areas of instruction at Savannah
State College. This division is staffed by well
qualified personnel as a whole, people who
have had long experience in the teaching pro-
fession, and graduates from some of the best
universities in this country. All of the staff
members are very well acquainted with the
problems of our present-day youth.
Savannah State College, through its Divi-
sion of Natural Sciences, is ready to continue
helping young people to prepare themselves for living. Some of the
offerings are 1) PREMEDICAL WORK. In this age when health is
being given priority in our thinking, the need for well trained doc-
Department
The aims of the Department of
Biology are (1) to provide for all
students that knowledge which
is essential to an understanding
of the biological basis of living;
(2) to train persons adequately
through the media of advanced
courses for entry into the profes-
sional study of dentistry, medi-
cine, and nursing; (3) to prepare
persons to teach the biological
sciences in the secondary school
of Biology
or to continue study on the grad-
uate level.
In addition to the required
general courses, this department
offers courses leading to the de-
gree of Bachelor of Science with
a major in biology. This depart-
ment offers also a minor.
The Biology Department is
proud of its achievements during
the last several years. It takes
great pride in reviewing the rec-
ords of some of its graduates.
The Department of Chemistry
has grown by leaps and bounds
in the past few years. The teach-
ing staff, teaching space and
equipment have been increased
one hundred per cent.
The Department has been
quite successful in obtaining
funds from Chemical Societies.
and the National Science Foun-
dation to sponsor several signifi-
cant programs such as the In-
Service Institute for teachers of
Chemistry and General Science
in secondary education and the
Summer Science Program for se-
lected high school students.
Many research projects are
carried out by the students in
cooperation with the Depart-
ment's active research program.
The Department feels that re-
search projects serve as good
preparation for more highly de-
veloped and specialized research
than the students will encounter
Department of Chemistry
in graduate school. The research
program serves as an outlet of
expression of the student's sci-
entific interest and capabilities
other than in the classroom and
gives him experience in employ-
ing the scientific method in
problem solving.
The Department of Chemistry
provides basic training for
higher education-work leading
to the Master of Science and
Ph.D. degrees. In addition to this
it provides all of the chemistry
needed in pre-nursing, pre-den-
tal and pre-medical education.
The curriculum has been re-
vised so that the student will
receive a substantial number of
courses in mathematics, physics.
and biology which will aid him
in becoming a better chemist.
The Department believes in
creativity, freedom of explora-
tion, productivity, hard work,
and recreation.

3^ ^H tu tne realization of good citizenship by fos-
I^H^W. ^Hl tering three aims of higher education: (1)
assisting students to attain those competencies
and attitudes essential to all persons in a world of interdependent
relationships; (2) preparing students for advanced study in fields
such as social work, sociology, and history; <3> preparing students
for teaching social studies in the secondary school.
THE CHOICE OF A MAJOR
In conformance with the foregoing aims this division provides
two curricula, each of which leads to the B. S. degree with a major
in the social sciences.
The program for persons who plan to teach social studies in
the secondary school is listed under the caption of the Department
of Secondary Education.
The curricula of this division are designed for those who defi-
nitely do not wish to qualify for a certificate to teach in the secon-
dary school. Persons interested in careers in: law, government serv-
ice, Young Men's Christian Association. Urban League work, diplo-
matic service, and research in general, should choose Curriculum I,
with the history concentration. Persons interested in careers as
social workers, probation officers, vocational counselors, camp coun-
selors, employment interviewers, juvenile court workers, and officials
in the immigration service, should choose Curriculum II, with a con-
centration in sociology, leading to the professional study of social
work.
This division discourages substitutions for the required courses
in the concentration. When such approval is granted, it must be
reviewed and approved by the Dean of Faculty before becoming
effective.
There are students enrolled in these courses living in all parts
of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama; and we have
students registered from New York, New Jersey, Washington, D. C.
The Home Study Department is directed toward two objectives:
The first is to provide a service for those persons who cannot under-
take residence instruction, and the second is to provide an enriching
program for those who do not require residence instruction for per-
sonal growth and enrichment.
Extension classes are provided upon sufficient demand.
Division of Technical Sciences
Dr. Clyde W. Hall, Chairman
ORGANIZATION AND DEGREE PROGRAMS
The Division of Technical Sciences com-
prises instructional programs in engineering
technology, home economics, and industrial
teacher education. Instructional activities are
organized within the Department of Engineer-
ing Technology and the Department of Home
Economics. The former offers courses leading
to the degree of Bachelor of Science, with
majors in building construction technology,
electronics technology, and mechanical tech-
nology. The latter offers courses leading to
the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in foods, nutrition,
and institution management, and a major in textiles and clothing.
BASIC PREPARATION FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Offerings of this division are, in the main, designed to fit gradu-
ates for immediate employment as professional and semi-profes-
sional workers in technical home economics and engineering tech-
nology. Intensive training for careers in these areas presupposes a
good foundation in applied sciences. Accordingly, thorough high
school preparation in physics, algebra, plane geometry, trigonome-
try, and industrial shop is essential for all who plan to study engi-
neering technology. A knowledge of chemistry is essential for those
who go into technical home economics.
INDUSTRIAL TEACHER EDUCATION
A previously noted, industrial teacher education is also a func-
tion of the Division of Technical Sciences. Specifically, this division
offers the required shop work and special subject preparation for
students who plan to teach industrial arts and trade and industrial
subjects. The industrial arts education program does not prepare
graduates for employment as skilled or semi-skilled workers in in-
dustry. On the contrary, it provides instruction in a variety of in-
dustrial shop activities. This instruction, augmented by appropriate
general and professional education, prepares graduates to teach
industrial arts in the secondary school. The trade and industrial
education program is designed for those who plan to teach trade
and industrial subjects on a vocational basis in the secondary
school. In order to pursue this program one must have already
learned a trade and worked in industry for two years as a journey-
man at the trade he is preparing to teach. The industrial arts edu-
cation and trade and industrial education curricula are listed under
caption of the Division of Education.
Division of Home Study
William E. Griffin, Chairman
(Retired 1965)
The Division of Home Study encompasses
Instructional programs in Business Adminis-
tration, Economics, Education, English. Geog-
raphy, Government, History, Humanities,
Mathematics, Psychology, Social Science, and
Sociology. These courses are offered for those
persons who are interested in furthering their
education, but are unable to do so in residence.
The Home Study Department is authorized
to operate the following programs:
1. College Correspondence Study
2. Extension Classes
Department of Engineering Technology
Engineering technology em-
braces the physical sciences,
mathematics, and the practices
of modern industry which are
utilized in the design and manu-
facture of the machines, struc-
tures, power sources, communi-
cation systems, and materials
needed to maintain a highly civ-
ilized society. The activities of
engineering technology are con-
cerned with translating the con-
cepts and theories of profes-
sional engineers and scientists
into actual devices and products
by using laboratory tests to pro-
vide data and preparation of
working drawings for use by
skilled craftsmen who produce
the devices and products.
Thus, to prepare men and
women with technical knowledge
and skills essential to modern
society, the Department of Engi-
neering Technology offers
courses in building construction,
electronics, and mechanical
technology. Each of the follow-
ing programs leads to the degree
of Bachelor of Science.

The curriculum in building
construction technology is de-
signed to provide ample instruc-
tion in those areas of knowledge
required for successful perform-
ance in these capacities:
Architectural and Structural
Draftsman and Designer plans,
designs, and supervises construc-
tion of frame, steel, and concrete
structures: makes architectural
inspections and appraisals for
architects and builders.

Department of Home Economics
Curricula in the Department of
Home Economics afford training
leading to the degree of Bache-
lor of Science with a major in
clothing and textiles, and in
foods, nutrition, and institution
management.
The program is directed to-
ward two major objectives. The
first of these is to enhance the
general education of the student
through a core curriculum for
common learning. The core cur-
riculum has three aims: (1) de-
velopment of the student as a
person, 121 preparation for fam-
ily life, and (3t preparation for
the responsibilities of citizenship
in its broadest sense. The second
major objective is preparation of
the student to enter and advance
with assurance and competence
in one of the various professions
in home economics.
The Department of Home Ec-
onomics offers, also, two-year
terminal courses in dressmaking
and tailoring and in food pro-
duction and cookery. These
courses are of particular interest
to college students who desire
immediate specialized prepara-
tion for employment prior to
completing the four-year degree
program. A person completing
the terminal course is granted a
certificate of proficiency.

Student Council
(Continued from Page I)
In a world at turbulence and
yet profound discoveries, in a
nation of disorders and yet un-
limited developments, it is a time
of opportunities and challenges
and most important, responsibil-
ities.
We must prepare ourselves
now to meet, cope with, and re-
solve the many dilemmas which
will eventually determine the
"fate of the universe."
As we prepare ourselves to
meet the demands and responsi-
bilities during this rapidly
changing era, let us be ever
mindful that Savannah State
College is our Alma Mater; it is
to her that we owe our loyalty
as we owe our allegiance to our
country. Therefore, may we
strive and let our every action
represent Savannah State in a
manner that she will be looked
upon with dignity and admira-
tion as one of the finest institu-
tions of higher learning.
The students are responsible
for the existence of any institu-
tion of learning; the type of stu-
dents can very well determine
the type of institution. With the
ultimate purpose of having Sa-
vannah State one of the finest
institutions, let all of us take
advantage of the available in-
struction here, using this instruc-
tion wisely with the purpose of
developing within ourselves the
symmetrical characteristics of
fine students.
As we focus our purpose and
consider our responsibilities, as
students let us always be cogni-
zant of the responsibility of ex-
pressing freely, with prudence,
constructive suggestions and
criticisms which we feel will en-
hance the development of the
institution and its students.
The Student Council serves as
a median between the students
and administration. It is there-
fore necessary that the opinions
and ideas of all students be con-
sidered discreetly. We ask for
your full support and coopera-
tion during the 1965-66 term. Let
our every effort be directed to-
ward making this year the best
in the history of our Alma
Mater.
On behalf of myself and the
entire college family, I extend a
hearty welcome with sincere con-
gratulations and best wishes for
your personal success and social
usefulness here at Savannah
State College.
Yours very truly,

Revise Constitution
SSC Receives $500 Gift
According to Dr. Howard Jor-
dan, Jr., President of Savannah
State College, Paul Donner,
President of the Donner Packing
Company Racing Stable of Mil-
waukee, Wisconsin, has donated
$500 to the NDEA Scholarship
Fund at Savannah State College
to be used as matching funds.
Under the National Defense Ed-
ucation Act Scholarship Fund,
the federal government will
match every dollar donated with
nine dollars, making it possible
for Savannah State College to
extend loans to worthy students
who might not be able to attend
college otherwise.
Mr, Donner is an outstanding
community leader in Milwaukee,
highly respected by the member-
ship of the United States Trot-
ting Association, and a gentle-

man in every sense of the word.
He is long-time friend of Dr. and
Mrs. E. J. Dean of Savannah,
Georgia. Dr. Dean is Chairman
of the Social Science Depart-
ment at Savannah State College.
The gift to Savannah State Col-
lege by Mr. Donner was made
possible through the Deans.
Mr. Donner campaigns one of
the most successful harness
horse stables in the country.
"Cheer Honey," one of the first
trotting fillies to win $100,000 in
a single season, is owned by Mr.
Donner. In 1965, the Donner
Stable's outstanding winners
are : "Mary Donner," co-cham-
pion, two-year-old trotting filly,
and "Ripping Good," one of the
nation's outstanding pacing stal-
lions.
Savannah State College is in-
deed fortunate to be the recipi-
ent of generosity of one of the
outstanding citizens of this
country.
Dennis Polite
s 65 SSC Graduate
Awarded Library
Scholarship
Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., Presi-
dent of Savannah State College,
reveals that Dennis Polite, a
June graduate of Savannah
State College, has been awarded
an all-expense scholarship for
library studies at Atlanta Uni-
versity, Atlanta, Georgia, for the
1965-66 regular and summer ses-
sions.
The announcement of the
$1,750.00 scholarship was made
in a carbon copy letter addressed
to Dr. Jordan from Mrs. Virginia
L. Jones, Dean of the Graduate
School of Library Service at At-
lanta University.
In the carbon copy letter sent
to Dr. Jordan, it was stated that
the scholarships "are granted to
young people who show promise
of developing into leaders in the
library profession."
Polite, a mathematics major
and English minor, was gradu-
ated second honor in a class of
162.
In addition to being an active
participant in college-student
activities, Polite is a member of
the Newman Club; Alpha Kappa
Mu Tutorial Society; Beta Kappa
Xi National Scientific Society;
Physico - Mathematical Associa-
tion; and writer of sports arti-
cles for the Savannah Morning
News.
When questioned about his go-
ing into the field of librarian-
ship, Polite said. "I have always
felt that libraries play a vital
role in our society, and I am
happy that I shall be able to
combine my background in sci-
ence and belle-lettres for the
purpose of becoming an infor-
mation specialist."
The Student Council is pres-
ently undergoing plans for revis-
ing or amending certain portions
nf the present Constitution. Ac-
tion of this nature will affect
and depend on you, the students.
Therefore it is the purpose of
the Council to inform you as to
(1) reasons for revisions, (2)
benefits to be received, (31 ad-
vantages over present provisions,
1 4) process of amending present
systems with tentative dates.
Such an amendment will take a
popular vote of at least two-
thirds of the student body.
There are several reasons for
suggesting revisions. Among
those the most important ones
are (a) to increase student rep-
resentation, (b) to form a stu-
dent government having a con-
gess rather than a student coun-
cil, and (c) to extend the func-
tion and capability of a working
Student Congress.
Benefits that can be cited are:
(a) more involvement of all
classes in student government,
<b) experience in law-making
and proper methods of introduc-
ing and passing bills and
amendments,
<c> Opportunity to share in
the work of the government; le-
galizing desired or eliminating or
replacing arbitrary functions.
Advantages over present pro-
visions:
(a) greater working force with
more representation,
(bi experience in governmen-
tal procedures,
(c> a check and balance sys-
tem between Congress and Stu-
dent Body president, avoiding
arbitrary measures.
Process of amending and ten-
tative dates.
An amendment to the consti-
tution requires a two-thirds vote
of the entire student body. The
suggested time for voting is
Monday, December 10, 1965, and
if passed, to come into effect
January 1, 1966, with Congress
convening at a banquet with the
President of the college giving a
"State of the College Address" in
early January.
The amendment states in es-
sence:
The government of the college
shall be the student government
of Savannah State College, con-
sisting of a Congress and student
government president with his
cabinet.
The Congress shall consist of
eight representatives from each
class (Freshman, Sophomore,
Junior, and Senior) giving a to-
tal of thirty-two members plus
the vice-president of the student
government who shall preside
over the Congress, and one rep-
resentative from each organiza-
tion who will not have a vote.
Charles E. Daye, Student Gov-
ernment Association president,
will speak November 17, 1965 lin
special chapelt on "The Role of
a Student Congress." The Sa-
vannah State College Glee Club
will also appear on the program.
SSC's Department of
Chemistry To Be Expanded
By Jannie Singleton
and Juanita Myers
Dr. Charles Pratt, head of the
Department of Chemistry at Sa-
vannah State College, recently
announced that the department
had been given room space in
the south wing of the Technical
Science Building for use as a
Nucleo-Science Laboratory. Pre-
parations are being made so that
the laboratory would be ready to
begin classes possibly starting
January, 1966.
The Nucleo-Chemistry Pro-
gram will offer courses in "Ra-
dio-Active Elements for Identi-
fication of Metabolic Products."
The inauguration of this pro-
gram would be a big boost in
strengthening the academic
phase in the chemistry curric-

many; enjoyed by the few. Now. thanks to our national prosperity,
it is within the reach of practically all who desire a higher training
and have the courage to obtain it. In this great movement Savan-
nah State College has played an important part, and is destined to
play a greater one. We are proud of our college; and the adminis-
tration, students, faculty and staff will make every effort to make
this Homecoming celebration the best in our Alma Mater's history.
We are happy to welcome our friends from our sister institution,
Albany State College. As our teams compete on the gridiron in
friendly rivalry, we know that we can expect the highest quality of
collegiate sportsmanship.
Again, we extend to you every good wish for an enjoyable cele-
bration of Homecoming 1965.

USING KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
By John W. Jordan
The clear and concise purpose of an education is to perceive or
learn facts, Ideas, and information to the point that it is secure in
memory and can be grasped by the mind to be used when necessary.
The power of knowledge is learning, and knowledge is associated
with the intellect or mind.
Knowledge, like the body, is a
thing where the powers are de-
veloped by long and strenuous
effort. The principal use of the
mind, as I see it, is hard work
in studies which produce learn-
ing; learning in return will pro-
duce an accumulation of knowl-
edge; and knowledge will give to
one a possession a useful edu-
cation.
Unless one trains his body, he
cannot be much of an athlete.
Daily physical exercise by an
athlete is m itself nothing to the
good, but the good is shown in
the physical capacity to hold out
when time comes to compete or
use the things learned by the
dally exercise. Thus, unless one
trains his mind, he cannot be
much of a scholar; by hard
study, one may retain perma-
nently some of the information
acquired, but will be of little
good, unless the intellectual
power to use the things learned
in daily life is thought to be of
some worth.
The mind Is a better and more
powerful instrument when one
has trained it by doing serious
study. The fact was "knowledge
is power." but still better, "the
faculty of acquiring and using
I wlrr.im' i> puwi : If one has
a trained and powerful mind, he
is bound to have stored in it lots
of learning, but its value lies in
what that learning can do, and
what It can grasp and utilize.
Alexander Pope said, "A little
learning is a dangerous thing,"
But I say if one has only a little
learning, that too can be used to
acquire better and more power-
ful knowledge.
One has acquired the power of
knowledge when he has learned
and mastered his English, sci-
ence, economics, history, etc., but
the best results come when he
uses his learned knowledge to
promote growth, and when his
knowledge is geared toward the
betterment of mankind.
As you begin this year of col-
lege, strive to acquire all the
knowledge that Is around you
and which can be yours just for
the asking. Then, be not so well
as to stop there, make this
knowledge work for you by giv-
ing it daily exercise. Continue
to use, and use and use all of
the knowledge that you have
acquired in order that you may
continue to grow more powerful
through the utilization of knowl-
edge.
WHY SHOULD I?
"What's the use?" and "Why
should I?" are the two most fatal
phrases in the English language.
They mark the dividing line be-
tween success and failure for
hundreds of thousands of stu-
dents.
"What's the use?" is the phi-
losophy of the student who
throws in the sponge when the
battle has been started. He sits
down alongside the road when
he finds that the signpost de-
ceived him instead of lengthen-
ing his stride. He is satisfied
with "good enough." He has no
goals, no visions. He accepts no
challenge.
"Why should I?" is the cry of
the lazy student. His aim is to
do just enough to "get by." He
is a clock watcher who is afraid
he will do a bit too much. He is
too lazy to think, too selfish to
put his shoulder to the wheel for
his own good.
How much more vibrant and
dynamic are the phrases. "It can
be done!" and "I'm the one who
can do it!" These phrases
sparkle with the spirit of suc-
cess.
What a pity it is that the
"Why should I" student has
spent so many years in school
and has failed to understand the
world or himself.

Tailgating Is Major
Highway Death Cause
Tailgating the practice of
driving too closely behind an-
other car is among the deadli-
est of highway accident causes.
In an October Reader's Digest
article, author Paul Friggens re-
ports that an estimated 6500
Americans will die this year in
accidents involving tailgating,
and that 13 percent of all auto
accidents are reported to involve
tailgating.
Avoiding tailgating accidents
involves adherence to some rules
and applying common sense. For
example, remember the old rule
of thumb that you should stay
one car length behind the car
ahead for each ten miles of
speed? You'd better not trust it.
Today's high-speed highways
and powerful cars make that rule
sadly inadequate. The National
Safety Council now recommends
2V-2 car lengths for each ten miles
an hour in good weather double
that in bad. That means that at
65, in good weather, you should
be almost the length of a foot-
ball field behind the car ahead
of you.
Another point to remember is
that today's superhighways re-
quire you to keep moving. "Un-
certainty and hesitation on the
highway is an invitation to tail-
gating disaster," Friggens writes.
"Once you've committed yourself
to enter traffic, blend swiftly
with it and drive as if it were

FRATERNAL
ORGANIZATIONS
By Ernest Patrick Lavender
(Editor's Note: This is a 1963
reprint of an article b> Ernest
P. Lavender. This reprint is lor
the purpose f Informing non-
Greeks about the purpose of
fraternal organizations.)
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 cam-
puses 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 al-
phabet from Alpha to Omega
lexcept Eta, Iota and Omicrom).
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 existence
Alpha Phi Alpha at Cornell Uni-
versity on December 4, 1906;
Kappa Alpha Psi at Indiana
University on January 5. 1911;
Omega Psi Phi at Howard Uni-
versity on November 17, 1911; Phi
Beta Sigma at Howard Univer-
sity on January 9, 1914. Most of
these fraternities were founded
on the same principle, to estab-
lish a relationship that would
bring students closer together.
Today at Savannah State Col-
lege there are four fraternity
chapters. Delta Eta Chapter of
Alpha Phi Alpha established in
1949, Gamma Chi 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 cam-
pus, you'll see that Greeks are
more active in campus organiza-
tions than non-Greeks.
Greeks contribute to the aca-
demic standing of the colleges as
well as extra-curricular activity.
There are Greeks taking part in
every phase of activity on cam-
pus from honor societies to ath-
letics. Careful observation will
reveal that various fraternal or-
ganizations are making all kinds
of contributions to the college
as well as the community. The
members of Alpha Phi Alpha
give an award annually to the
highest ranking Freshman scho-
lastically. They make a financial
contribution to the NAACP, Cru-
sade for Votes, and to Green-
brier Orphanage. Last year they
worked with the Heart Fund and
the Savannah Blood Bank.
Kappa Alpha Psi gives an award
to the highest ranking fresh-
man. They sponsor a Christmas
Box for the needy and they make
financial contributions to the
various organizations in Savan-
nah. Omega Psi Phi sells Christ-
mas 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
persons and make contributions
to different organizations. Phi
Beta Sigma is very active in the
support of the college and com-
munity; they make awards and
give contributions. In the form
of beautification of the campus,
all of the Greek letter organiza-
tions 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 ad-
ministrators would, in some re-

From the
Editor's Desk...
As I observe the SSC student body, I wonder if we are aware of
the various revolutions which have affected us in recent years. If
we are aware of these changes, it seems to me that we are not
aware of how these changes will affect us in later life.
First of all we must prepare ourselves for the challenges that
lie beyond the "Negro World." That is, we must be prepared to
accept the challenges which other races put before us.
Before more elaboration, I wonder if we are conscious of who
is responsible for the various revolutions that have affected the
local and national scenes of the world. Or rather, who plays the
dominant role in bringing about these revolutions.
These revolutions came about through people who were con-
cerned about the status quo. They were not content with the way
people were being treated. And through their work, a change came.
It is necessary for us to prepare ourselves for the challenges
which revolutionists bring about. The situation necessitates imme-
diate action.
Although we may be unaware of it, the revolutions have affected
all of us. They have encouraged us to think more seriously about
the challenges of tomorrow. They also have warned us that our
color will play an even smaller significant part in the years ahead,
than it does today, in determining our qualifications for jobs.
Revolutions will continue to bring about change; we can't halt
them now even if we try.

YOUR COLLEGE NEWSPAPER
By Leonard Jones. Contributing Editor
This edition of the Savannah State College "Tiger's Roar"
marks the first of a series to continue throughout the academic
school year. The Tiger's Roar is the official publication for the
students at Savannah State College.
Being the official student pub-
lication, it is the voice of the
students. These are the people
responsible for its publication,
and are therefore directly con-
cerned with the students being
informed of any matter affect-
ing their welfare.
Being connected with a col-
lege, however, the newspaper
also takes the responsibility of
airing the views of its adminis-
trators and faculty members,
whether or not they be contrary
to student views. According to
the slogan of the New York
Times, a newspaper should print
"all the news that is fit to print"
about a particular person, insti-
tution or thing. It cannot print
or say only the good and disre-
gard the bad, it should print
both. Once an institution, per-
son, or thing moves into the
public eye, it must be ready to
receive all comments whether
favorable or unfavorable.
Basing its "foundation" on the
foregoing facts, the "Tiger's
Roar" invites criticisms and
comments on all printed matter.
Those being in the form of a
good letter properly endorsed
will be published. Also, in an
effort to be as accurate as pos-
sible, the Tiger's Roar invites
corrections on any statements
made when such statements or
facts are inaccurate.
Brides Working to Put Husbands Through School
Should Take Time to Develop Own Interests Too
An increasing number of
young women are foresaking the
quest for an academic degree,
such as an A.B. or M.A., in favor
of the domestic degree of Ph. T.,
according to an October Reader's
Digest article.
The letters stand for Putting
Hubby Through, and they are
descriptive of thousands of
American girls who are begin-
ning married life as the bread-
winners of their families so that
their husbands can complete
college, graduate school or pro-
fessional training. Praiseworthy
though they be. these women
face problems of adjustment far
greater than those of most young
wives.
"Such brides must be more
mature than romantic," says
author Myrna Blyth in the ar-
ticle. "The 22-year-old wife of a
history major spent her honey-
moon helping her husband cram
for finals; the wife of a medical

Ask the
Freshmen
By Walker Durham
It is always nice to know why
the Freshmen students chose
SSC to further their education,
and also if they are enjoying it
thus far. The following are re-
sponses of Freshmen students
when I asked the question: Why
did you choose to come to SSC?
RONALD SIMMONS, SAVAN-
NAH: I chose SSC because it has
more to offer in my field, and
because it is in my home town.
THEODORE SWIFT, SAVAN-
NAH: I chose SSC because of its
high academic and cultural
standings, and because of its
concentration in my major field.
LONNIE CRAWFORD, SAVAN-
NAH: I chose SSC because of its
most attractive campus, its out-
standing teachers, and also be-
cause of its fresh and friendly
atmosphere, which makes it
more able for one to adjust to
college life.
GUNNELL MIKELL. HARDEE-
VILLE, S. C: I chose SSC be-
cause I felt that it had a lot to
offer in my field, which is Home
Economics.

tration. Miss Howard is the head
Dear Jackye,
I have a very serious problem.
I have two boyfriends, one in
the Marines, and one on campus.
The one in the Marines plans to
visit the campus soon; mean-
while the one on campus and I
are having difficulties due to a
freshman girl. I don't want the
Marine to find out about the guy
on campus. I realize that I don't
really love this guy on campus,
but I can't let a freshman have
him. Jackye, what would you do
if you were having such problem.
Puzzled.
Dear Puzzled,
Indeed you do have a problem.
My suggestion would be to
choose the lesser of the two evils.
Your real problem is choosing
which is really the lesser evil. Is
it swallowing your pride and let-
ting a freshman have a boy that
you don't love (who could, by
the way, give him love in re-
turn) , or letting your Marine
find out how unfaithful you
have been and perhaps, bearing
the risk of losing them both.
oaoose wisely.
Jackye.
Dear Jackye,
We have this friend who is a
habitual liar. She lies about
things that don't even matter.
She even lies about lies.
This person recently told what
seemed to her to be a little white
lie; however, a big confusion de-
veloped among several of her
friends including her boyfriend
and ex-boyfriend. When this lie
finally came to the fore, she was
brought to the light. After she
has told her fibs she fails to
realize the damage that she does
to others.
Please tell us how to cope with
this problem or how to solve it.
She is a close friend of ours still
and we don't want to excommu-
nicate her.
R.P.J, and B.
Dear Alphabets,
You have basically three
choices since you all are friends
to this person. They are as fol-
lows:
1. Smile and bear it.
2. Never believe a word she
says.
3. Or, chip in and purchase
her a ticket to "Happy Land.''
Jackye.
Dear Jackye,
I came to college with the in-
tentions of studying, but now I
am tired of just studying and I
would like to get married. How
do I go about finding a husband
in a place like this?
Tired-of-searching-and-
ready-to-settle-down.
Dear What-cha-ma-call-it
You don't have to give up your
B.S. to get a M.R.S. these days,
the best way to get a husband is
to stop looking for one.
Jackye.
Dear Jackye,
There's a fellow back home
whom I admire very much. And,
believe it or not, he's 300 miles
away, yet he keeps interfering
with my studies. Every time I
open a book (math, psychology,
chemistry, etc.) I keep seeing his
face on every page. Please help
me.
Desperate.
Dear Desperate,
Simple! Close the book. If this
isn't enough change your major
to "Man-thematics."
Jackye.
Dear Jackye,
I have one of the most unique
boyfriends on the face of this
earth. When I finish explaining
him to you (if this is possible)
please give me your views on
how to cope with him.
He says he loves me yet he
never asks me for a da,te nor
does he date other girls; how-
ever, when I'm asked by some
other person he gets violently
angry if I accept.
Then to top this off he's self-
ish, inconsiderate, belligerent,
and loves to eat But worse than
that I love him and he loves me.
What to do?
Goldfinger's girl.
Dear Goldfinger's Girl,
As for the dates he never takes
you on, maybe your Mr. Goldltn-
ger has run out of gold. You
needn't worry about the rest of
his actions, they're merely char-
acteristics of all males.
Signed:
Agent 007.

FASHIONS
Jean Stewart
Dear Fashionwise.
Alas! The time of year that
wc have all been looking forward
to is finally here! Yes, it's
Homecoming 1965!
What does this mean to you?
Does it mean being in the spot-
light as a campus queen? Or
does it simply mean that you
will be attending the Homecom-
ing festivities as a spectator?
Regardless of the role you'll be
playing this Homecoming, It Is
a must that you be looking your
best!
Keep In mind the great fash-
ion changes this year when you
are planning what to wear to the
various Homecoming activities.
Remember when skirts were
short in the twenties? Why, they
are even shorter this year!
Remember when narrow tall
pencil heels were popular? Well,
this is no longer true. Heels have
gotten lower, much lower. Don't
think by any means that low
heels can't be worn in the eve-
nings. The new patent leather
and silk shoes have made it pos-
sible to wear low heels in the
evening. Oh, yes. the fellows
think low heels are very sexy!
Remember when fashion ex-
perts used to say NO to matched
accessories? This year, they are
saying YES.
What, then, should you look
for? Look for hats . . . small
cappy ones and big brimmy ones.
Watch for pigskin gloves by day,
and creamy doeskins by night.
Watch for the shined look of
black patent in bags and baby
strapped shoes; for the lustered
look of alligator. Watch for
plumper pearls, chivalric pins,
fat little rings and bracelets to
match.
Don't forget now, to watch for
these great fashion changes
(wear them too) and all eyes will
be watching you!
Yours in Fashion,
Jean Stewart.

Are you a well-dressed person?
or are you among that out-crowd
who use your low economic
status as an excuse for not being
a properly dressed young man.
If you arc among the out-crowd
and want to become a member
of the in-crowd, which is a
properly dressed college young
man, there is Information of im-
portance for you in this article.
A man is often judged by his
appearance. A new suit, shirt,
tie, shoes and socks is the dress
of a gentleman for any occasion,
hut he may not be properly or
well dressed. The wise college
male will know when to wear a
particular attire and how to buy
clothes that fit him. Some colors
and styles do not look well on
some individuals. It is up to you
to start analysing your taste in
the search for what colors and
styles look best on you.
Men are going far back dig-
ging up ancient styles. Esquire
has learned and labor this sea-
son for dress in the conservative

The Stripe. Stripes got their first
big play in the 1880's, then they
faded. In the twenties the hair-
line and the chalk stripe re-
turned to fashion when the
Prince of Wales wore them on
his world tour. They disappeared
again in the thirties, and they
surfaced briefly in the postwar
era and were lost completely
during the check, plaid and
solid-color conscious fifties. Now.
at last, the stripe is staging a
complete return. Top custom
tailors confide that their most
selective clients have ordered
stripes and Esquire predicts an
across-the-board revival this fall
of the Establishment Stripe.
Nothing could be more in k?ep-
ing with the modern slim than
the stripe.
Just for the casual wear, desert
boots go with almost anything.
Savannah State College students
are, in the main, buying suedes
called Clark boots. Dirty bucks
are always popular in the fall
and they are durable. The suede-
like pullover jacket is also
among the top sellers at men's
fashion shops.
The colored long sleeve shirt
with a suitable tie and no coat,
jacket or sweater is quite an eye-
catcher. The white shirt is grad-
ually fading out, although I
would suggest that a couple of
hangers should be saved for for-
mal affairs.
A man who knows where to
buy clothes, how to buy clothes.
and when to buy his clothes is
a thoughtful and ambitious per-
son. Dressing well is education
too, so why not be educated in
this way also. It Is believed that
your life will be brighter and
richer if you are correctly

NEWSCOPE EVENTS
SSC Student
Trained For
The Peace Corps
By Carolyn R. Williams
Addie Scott, a student of SSC.
recently underwent training for
the Peace Corps at UCLA in Los
Angeles. California.
Miss Scott, a senior, is a native
of Savannah, Georgia, and a
graduate of Beach High School.
She is majoring in Biology.
Miss Scott attended a training
session for nine )9) weeks. Upon
graduation she will return for
six (6) weeks advanced training,
then she will be assigned to
Ethiopia for two 12) years,
where she will teach Biology.
The following questions were
asked of Miss Scott:
Q. How do the teachers at
UCLA differ from these at SSC?
A The teachers at UCLA dif-
fer from these at SSC very
slightly. They seemed to take a
more interested attitude toward
their students, in that they are
always willing to listen to any
problems that you may have
concerning the course, and they
are willing to accept any criti-
cism students may have con-
cerning their teaching abilities
or their courses. They also mix
with the students during school
hours and off hours.
Q. What would you say are
the major differences between
the students of the two 1 2
schools in question?
A, The students at UCLA are
a great deal different from the
students here, not in their ways,
but in their study habits. The
students at UCLA this summer
were from many universities and
colleges, and their study habits
were very good. They seem al-
ways to have a thirst for knowl-
edge; this was the major differ-
ence. But in all other aspects
they are typical college students.
Q How did you obtain money
while you were there?
A. We received $39.50 upon
arrival to cover any expenses we
had on our way to California.
We also received $10.50 a week
for general expenses. Upon leav
ing, we received $8.00 traveling
allowance.
Q. What subjects did you take
while attending UCLA?
A. I had courses in Ambaric
which is the official language of
Ethiopia; Area studies in which
a complete outline of their his-
tory, human relations, commu-
nism, physical education was
given; and Seminar in which we
discussed different topics con-
cerning the programs and the
ritual of Africa.
Q. Are you ready to go to
Ethiopia?
A. Yes. I can hardly wait to
complete my training.

Department Adds
New Instructor
By Earline Freeman
Emory W. Carr is a new addi-
tion to SSC's faculty. A native of
Parkersburg, West Virginia, Mr,
Carr received his B.A. and M.A.
degrees in German and French
from West Virginia University.
In addition to being an in-
structor of German and French,
Mr. Carr plans to participate in
directing student organizations.
We hope that his stay at SSC
will be a success.
Biology Dept.
By Irene Gadson
The outlook of the Biology De-
partment for the school year
11/65-66 appears to be very prom-
ising. The Department has got-
ten off to a very good start.
iiowever, we regret tnat one of
our teachers, J. W. Wortham,
was unable to be present in the
beginning of the year because of
illness. We wish for him a speedy
recovery.
The Department Is carrying
out its program of providing for
all students that knowledge
which is essential to an under-
standing of the biological basis
of living, 'ihe freshman students
are entering into this study with
great interest and enthusiasm.
The Department is continuing
its program of preparing stu-
dents to enter schools of dentis-
try, medicine, and nursing. It is
also participating with the otner
departments of the Division of
the Natural Sciences in prepar-
ing teachers of science on the
secondary level.
The Department along with
other departments of the Divi-
sion has been invited to the
Health Science Day which is
sponsored by the Medical School
of Georgia, Augusta, Georgia,
October 16. 1965. The Depart-
ment was delighted to receive an
invitation of this nature. Dr.
B. T. Griffith, the chairman of
the Department, met with other
representatives of biology de-
partments throughout the uni-
versity system on October 15 in
Atlanta. At this meeting these
representatives put forth every
effort to solve problems that are
preventing the improvement of
teaching the biological sciences
in the university system.
Something Funny
Happened During Our
Rule in the Now Bus
By Virginia Taylor
On Tuesday, October 12, 1965,
an exciting and wonderful thing
happened at SSC. I looked up
and saw a large bus coming
around the winding road of the
campus. It was our own new
college bus.
Mr, Mobley, the school photog-
rapher, was on the scene with
his camera as President Jordan,
the comptroller and a group of
students posed in the new bus.
This was quite a bit of excite-
ment for all to be among the
first to take a ride in the new
college bus.
We were thrilled! The driver
pulled the bus in gear and we
were on our way. We were
headed for Victory Drive. Every-
one was laughing and enjoying
the loud speaker, power steering
and air brakes.
We stopped for a traffic light
at the corners of Victory Drive
and Skidaway Road. When the
traffic light changed to green,
the bus would not move. After
sitting there for about 30 min-
utes we found that the bus was
out of gas.
After refilling the gas tank we
returned to campus by way of
the football field, where the
football team was practicing, so
that the team could see their
transportation to win all our
games.
We enjoyed our ride but it al-
most turned out to be a hike.
Beverly Jackson. Wilbur Camp-
bell, Patricia Ryan, Charles Day,
and Virginia Taylor think the
bus is very nice but they decided
not to be the first to try out any-
thing new again

From the NAACP
College Chapter
The Savannah Sitae College
Chapter of NAACP is in the
midst of making plans for the
year. During the summer, the
SSC Chapter had three repre-
sentatives working in Liberty
County. They were Edward Tur-
ner, Roy Thomas and Ithamus
Studgeon.
At the National Convention of
the Association, E. J. Josey, the
advisor of the Chapter, was
awarded a plate for his out-
standing leadership and dedica-
tion to the cause of human
rights.
After the National Convention.
Ithamus Studgeon flew to Jack-
son. Mississippi, where he
worked in that state for eight
weeks in a mass voter registra-
tion drive and school integration
program. From Mississippi he
flew to Alabama and worked for
a period.
Studgeon extends greetings to
the freshman class and return-
ing students and urges them 10
join the challenging efforts oi
the college chapter. He also
stated that we are looking for-
ward to the day when there
shall be no need for such an or-
ganization as the NAACP.
Therefore, keep the idea oi
"freedom" alive by joining the
SSC Chapter of the NAACP now.
Membership fee is only $1.00.
Tailgating
Minucd from Page 2)
(Co
your responsibility to keep it
flowing."
To reduce the tailgating
slaughter, safety engineers have
suggested moving away from the
color red on rear lights. Actually,
red may be one of the worst col-
ors for the purpose, since com-
mon eye defects cause four out
of five people to perceive red
lights as being farther away
than they really are. A prefer-
able system might be to use dif-
ferent colors to indicate what a
driver is doing green to show
that he is moving at a constant
speed, amber to indicate he has
slowed down, and bright-orange
to show that he has applied his
brakes.
Another remedy might be to
increase the number of traffic
tickets given for tailgating. Al
though police admit that tail-
gating is a major cause of acci-
dents, they write relatively few
tickets for the offense, mainly
because it is difficult to prove in
court. However, a well publicized
crackdown on tailgaters could go
far in helping to save many of
the 6500 lives that will otherwise
be lost in the next twelve
months.

A Past to Cherish
A Future to Fulfill
By Shep Stevens
In the Fall Quarter, 1965, the

Notwithstanding the success of
the past, we are not complacent
and feel that the greatest chal-

years to come.
The most important aspect
about the Phi Beta Fraternity is,
essentially, its philosophy. Our
philosophy, Brotherhood, Schol-

quest of men of all ages. The
first principle, brotherhood, is a
real brotherhood with tested,
abiding fellowship, a brother-

gives its best in the hour of need.
It is a spiritual fellowship that
binds us in all activities along
life's narrow pathway. Upon it
rests the social welfare of each
and every brother.
Though we are few in number.
we are great in strength. Be-
cause of this strength, "our

THE TIGER'S ROAR
Oclober. 1965
By CHIP TOLBERT, ESQUIRE'S Fashion Editor
INDIAN SUMMER begins to fade, and autumn arrives in a Maze
of color. Chances are, those chilly afternoons will find you rum-
maging through last year's sweater collection, hoping the moth
balls did their work. Let's bring your Fall '65 sweater wardrobe
up to date with the two new knitwear trends for campus.
THE COMPETITION STRIPE, adapted from
the stripes that identify team players in com-
petitive sports, contributes a refreshing, color-
ful look in campus fashion. The placement of
the stripes is all-important and the choice is
almost limitless. They can be chest-high hori-
zontals clear across the body and sleeve, or
broad verticals down one side. Double and triple
sets of narrow stripes circle the sleeve, or stripe
its length from shoulder to cuff.
CONTRAST IS THE THING., .and the bolder,
the better. Look for red-hot combinations like
red with black and gold stripes; or blue with
red and white; in brown with green and gold,
or black with red and white. Anything goes for
the sweater beneath the stripe. Pullovers or
cardigans, crew-necks, V-necks and turtlenecks,
all compete for the Competition Stripe. They'll
be found in flat and bulky knits, mohairs and
ribbed or cable knits, as well.
bnEAT SCOTS in canny plaids present An-
other top choice in campus sweaters. They
include the whole panorama of plaids. ..tradi-
tional tartan or clan plaids, smart argyle dia-
monds with criss-cross overmarkings.and novel
diamond patterns that extend the argyle in new
directions.
THE LOOK OF LUXURY is underscored in,
broad range of flattering texture and sur-
face variations. Look for classic Shetlands in
brushed textures, mohairs, and fiber blends of
all kinds. Styling details again are wide open to
satisfy individual tastes. Still, high crew necks
r.nd turtlenecks, both the turnover type and the
"mock" turtle, will cop top honors.
THE GOLDEN TOUCH i lustrous gold crossweaves frequently
appears in background or in accent tones. Traditional heather
mixtures and natural tans and browns offer a smart, conservative
appearance. The more intense colors greens, reds, and blues are
often frosted with white for a new and unusual look. But bold or
blended, muted or bright, Great Scots are definite campus swingers
for '65.
THE GAMUT OF GOLD spa s every imaginable shade in knitted
or woven sport shirts. From light and bright to tawny tones
touched with orange, and on to camel colors, the impact of The'
Golden Touch will be apparent throughout your casualwear ward-
robe. Mellow golden tones add fresh sparkle in interwoven accents
to enrich the popular plaids and strong stripes in shirts, sweaters
vests. ..even in robes and pajamas. It blends perfectly with other
colors to create unusual heathers and mixtures shot with gold and
also provides a vivid accent with solid shades. In The Golden Touch
fashion has discovered a real gold-mine with virtually unlimited
appeal on the nation's campuses.
FOR A PARTING SHOT, a word about hosiery. !n the spo,
category, you || find a wide variety of textured knits, often in
heather shades. Brushed textures and rib treatments continue as
campus favorites. For more formal occasions, look for the practic-1
and fashionable over the calf sock. It's a sure way to keep fhoEJ
hairy legs put of the picture.

Even more than with most
young couples, money is the No.
1 problem in a working-wife,
student-husband marriage, says
Miss Blyth. Husbands can de-
velop feelings of guilt about not
contributing to the family in-
come. Worry over bills can
break into the concentration
needed for studying.
But despite the money prob-
lems, most working brides rarely
feel poor, the article says. They
are living for the time when
their husbands will be estab-
lished in good jobs or profes-
sions. It is this glimpse of the
future that helps them over the
rough spots.
A far greater, though less ap-
parent problem, is that the
working bride may neglect her
own personal development while
she is helping her husband to
grow. A noted psychiatrist ad-
vises young women putting their
husbands through school to take
jobs that are interesting even
if they mean a little less money
for the family.
"The bride putting her hus-
band through school must re-
member to honor herself" as
well as her husband, says author
Blyth. "Whether it is a job. a
course or a hobby, she must al-
ways have something of her own
which is meaningful and fulfill

Outlook
By Frank Ellis
Hi! sports fans. Now that vacation is over I'm back to give you
the latest news in the SSC sports world. It's football season again
and everyone is rooting for his favorite team.
Your favorite team, the Tiger's,
began practice September 5. with
a host of new players with out-
standing potentials and sixteen
regulars from last year's team.
The first four points of the
game were scored by the rugged
defensive unit as they trapped
the "Dragons" in their end zone
for two successive safeties. Not
wanting to be left out of the ac-
tion, the offensive unit ignited
and were responsible for the
next fourteen points of the game.
Touchdowns were scored by
Frank Bell and Vaughn Ford
and an extra point attempt was
made good on a pass from Wal-
ter Fulton to Frank Ellis.
On October 2, Edward Waters
defeated the Tiger's 36-0 with a
massive ground and air attack.
The coaching staff and players,
realizing that the defeats were
due mainly to weak defensive
secondary or pass defense,
worked diligently during the
next week to overcome this
weakness. On Saturday, October
9. the Tiger's showed that their
work paid off. They intercepted
three of the Lane "Dragon's"

Letters To
Santa
Dear Jackye . . .
"The True Spirit of
Christmas Giving"
FASHIONS
By Walker Durham
Have you ever written a letter
to Santa? Perhaps you have
when you were a child. It can
be lots of fun writing letters to
Santa expressing your Christ-
mas wishes. You should try it;
you may get what you ask for.
The following are letters written
by some students of SSC.
Dear Santa,
I would like for Christmas one
Toronado painted pink and
green with black and gold inte-
rior. If I can't have that, then
I will settle for a pair of boxing
gloves.
Frances Bazemore
Dear Santa,
Bring me one blonde, one bru-
nette, and one redhead. I want
to know is it true that blondes
have more fun.
Henry Dingle
learest Santa Darling,
I think you can recall what I
ive been asking for, for the
i t four years. This request,
Santa darling, is between you
id me, so please don't delay it
any longer.
Lovingly yours,
Audrey L. Scott
Dear Santa,
First of all, I would like for
you to bring me courage Cour-
age to maintain my purpose
here at SSC. Secondly, I would
like for you to bring me faith.
Faith that I may keep the cour-
age you will bring me. Third,
and last, I would like you to
bring for Xmas, and for every-
one, love. Love so that we may
unite as a whole in brotherly
love.
Nathaniel Smith
Dear Santa,
Please bring me for Christmas
a handsome joung gentleman
with a little bit of money, a fine
car, and a College Education.
Bring B. G.
Julia M. Jones
Dear Santa,
I would like for you to bring
me a fine car. And please don't
forget the check I asked for last
year. Amount, one million dol-
lars.
Lirda B. Maye
Dear Santa,
Please bring me a book on
how to make the girl I love
happy.
Thomas Beck
Dearest Santa,
I wasn't very good this year
and I don't think I deserve any-
thing but I do want you to take
my gifts to Alabama and Missis-
sippi, to give to the less fortu-
nate, and please don't forget the
soldiers in Viet Nam.
Love ya,
Carolyn Williams
Dear Santa,
1 would like you to please
bring me a tall, tan and terrific
man.
Helen Gordon
Dear Santa,
I would like a tall, yellow,
handsome, charming, fuzzy
teddy bear.
Redell Hills
Dear Santa,
I have been a good boy alt
year and I am asking that you
please bring me two A's, one B.
Richard Allen
P.S. If not this, then let me
Dear Jackye:
It all started about four years
ago. I met a nice fellow and we
both fell in love. Now we are
engaged to be married next sum-
mer. Since that first year, how-
ever, several changes have taken
place, including the fact that we
love each other more. I guess
you say then that I don't have
a problem.
My problem, insignificant as it
may seem, is that my fiance
never picks my gifts himself, as
he did when we first began dat-
ing. Now he always leaves it up
to his mother, who, by the way,
knows nothing about my taste.
With Christmas just around the
corner, how can I bring my point
out to him without hurting his
feelings.
Disillusioned
Dear Disillusioned;
You and your fiance should,
after four years, be able to talk
things of this nature out with-
out stepping on each other's
toes. My suggestion would be to
sit down and discuss it with him.
Tell him that you would like for
his thoughts to go into the gift,
not his mother's, since it is the
thought of the gift emphasized
instead of the gift itself.
Jackye
Dear Jackye:
I have a little problem. Since
the season is here for giving
gifts, I have a boy friend to
whom I would like to give some-
things for Christmas. I would
like to give something simple, so
he won't think I'm in love with
him, but just thinking of him
since it's Christmas. What should
I give?
M. J.
By Jacqueline Ryles
I'm not complaining, mind
wise
you). I just want him to know
how I feel.
Head Over Heels in Love
Dear H. O. H.:
Just hang on in there, if he's
content and you are too, there's
nothing to worry about. When
it really matters to him. he'll
give you your chance to testify.
Remember the old saying: "Good
things come to those who wait."
Jackye
Dear Jackye:
I have a problem that I know
seems to be strange. I am In
love with this certain boy and I
know that he loves me also. The
problem is that he does not want
to go with me because he feels as
if I'm using him (in what respect
I don't know). Every time we are
together we usually end up argu-
ing.
Tell me, Jackye, what can I do
to make him believe that I do
love him and I'm not using him.
In Love
Dear In Love:
From what I gather in your
letter, your friend is trying to
camouflage his true feelings by
presenting this excuse. If he
really wanted you to be his girl
he would be trying to convince
you of his sincerity instead of it
being the other way around.
Don't feel too bad, though, there
are lots of boys in Wright Hall
alone who are sincere in their
dealings. So get hipped to the
hickey!
Jackye
Dear Jackye:
Each year as it nears Christ-
mas, my girl friend constantly
pesters me as to what have I
Jean Stewart
Dear M. J.:
To begin with, you shouldn't
get the spirit of "gift giving"
confused with "love making."
Love is not obtained through gift
giving. But if you still wish to
play safe, they tell me that
Santa Is still living at the North
Pole; why not leave it up to him.
Jackye
Dear Jackye:
I have met quite a number of
fellows in my past, many who
have, may I say fascinated me.
But about a month and a half
ago I browsed upon a young man
who was absolutely "together."
Every time I think of him, or
even being around him he puts
me in a daze for days. I had a
couple of dates with him which
I enjoyed and will never forget.
But, Jackye, if he would only
give me a chance to explain my
feelings about him I believe I
could get somewhere with him.
He talks a mile a minute and
I never can get a word in edge-
meet the postman when my
grades arrive at home.
Dear Santa,
This year when you come,
please land your reindeer and
sleigh on the lawn. The noise
on the roof is an annoyance
while I am trying to sleep.
John Mitchell
Dear Santa,
Would you please bring me
some hair tonic. This greasy kid
stuff is too much for me.
Ormoade Lewis
Dear Santa,
Would you please bring me a
container of Rustoleum so that
I may polish my car. The rust
is about to eat me out. If you
Let's deck the halls with
boughs of holly ( and please
don't forget the mistletoe), don-
ning now our gay apparel, strik-
ing the harp, joining the cho-
rus, and generally living It up!
Yuletide carols will be sung by
choirs and you'll be well dressed
from your head to your toes.
Yes. everybody knows that gala
season is almost here.
Just in time for the holidays
is a vision of fashions that have
been dancing in your head all
year. The time has come now
for you to get in the Christmas
limelight with your dazzling
holiday attire.
Since this is the time of year
for parties, parties, and still
more parties, maybe, you would
be interested In a few tips on
how you can be the Belle of the
Ball at all of the parties you
plan to attend. (Not to mention
the party you. plan to give.)
Why not try something new?
When you invite guests over the
night before Christmas, greet
them in a granny dress of red
or green paisley. Better still, be
a knock out in your white, red,
green or gold party pants that
swirl sexlly at the ankles. (Don't
forget your matching top.) Oh,
how alluring you will be!
Can you think of a greater
excuse for giving a party than
entertaining these new looks
that will show up around the
house during the holidays? As
you have seen they come in va-
rying degrees from granny
gotten her for Christmas, or
what am I going to get her. She
gets angry when I refuse to tell dresses to party pants.
her and she gets angry when I
tell her it's one thing and at
Christmas she finds it to be a
"horse of a different color."
What can I do to save myself
from the folly of this crazy
chick?
Christmas Gifts Anonymous
Dear C. G. Anonymous:
The remedy is a very simple
one. Buy her an empty box.
When she asks what's in it, tell
her It's nothing. This way you
will have told her what's in it
and you won't be lying. Then
Christmas, when she opens it,
that "horse" will be the same
color.
Merry Christmas,
Jackye
p. S : I hope by next Christ-
mas she'll be speaking to you
again.
Well. December Is here again
with its joyful holiday atmos-
phere. This is the month of the
birth of Christ, family reunions,
festivities, and fashions, More
men are idealistic in dressing
this month than the entire Fall
season. Of course, this is only
proper because there will be par-
ties and gatherings, and more
people will be In places where
only a few people usually go, so
my advice to the fashionable
young man Is that he should
look sharp.
The smash for this mid-Fall
month consists of the elegant
three quarter and knee-length
fur-collared overcoats. Fur-col-
lared coats have not been popu-
lar for the last three years, but
fashion changes have made the
fur-collar coats popular this
year. They have come back with
the striped pants and suits.
Whether It is double-breasted or
single breasted, leather or a wool
herringbone, you are warm and
well dressed with a look of suc-
cess.
The informal dressed men of
today aren't just criticizing the
Russian government but they are
especially looking at what the
Russians are wearing. The no-
ticeable Russian shirts which are
an extraordinary outburst of
vivid colors and patterns, brand
the season's sport shirts. The
fabrics range from silk and silky
broadcloths to cotton flannels
and tweedy wools. It's my belief
that Russian styles may be worn
without fear of being called a
"Red."
don't have any Rustoleum, I will
settle for some sandpaper.
Marcia O'Brien
Dear Santa,
Please bring me some legs, be-
cause I want to wear boots very
much. I am talking about those
Go-Go Boots.
JaRene Pearson
Dear Santa,
I would like for you to bring
me some presents for my birth-
day.
Pearl Holmes
p.S. Don't forget birthday
cards.
Dear Santa,
Please bring me another
brand of cigarettes to smoke. I
find myself smoking more these
days and enjoying it less.
J.B.
Would you like to look calm,
pleasant, and interesting when
you make your grand entrance
at the party you'll be attending
with your classmates on Christ-
mas night? The best way to do
this is to wear something soft
and a bit slithery, in crepe or
satin or chiffon. Here, color and
simplicity are the things that
count. Beige, burnt-orange and
Ice-blue are marvelous color
suggestions. Don't be surprised
if someone calls you a young
softie!
New Year's Eve party what
to wear? Well, it all depends
upon whether you want to greet
the new year dazzling. You do^
Then, you must wear a brilliant
flame-pink and orange, clear
red, yellow-to-emerald green,
tortoisy brown, and lots of white.
You will find many shifts that
come in these exciting colors
that can be most becoming. Try
one.
What makes a Merry Christ-
mas and a Happy New Year?
Happy people around a glitter-
ing tree, gala presents and you,
of course looking your best.
Happy Holidays!
Yours in fashion,
Jean Stewart
Ask a Student
By Walker Durham
In a few more weeks we will
be living in another year. Usu-
ally we look for new and differ-
ent things when the new year
arrives. The following are re-
sponses I received from students
when I asked them: What
events or changes would you
like to see In 1966?
LEONARD JONES In 1966, I
would like to see a year of
more sincere peace on earth
and good will toward men. A
year that will be the end of
the war In Viet Nam and a
year that will give all Ameri-
cans a chance to share the
nation's prosperity and growth.
JEFFRENIA B. SAPP During
the year of 1966, I would like
very much to see peace pre-
vailing throughout the world.
The war in Viet Nam makes
this seem a little impossible
during 1966, but I think that
we should work toward a
means to end the war and by
"67" let peace prevail here,
Southeast Asia and every-
where.
BENNIE BROWN During the
year of "66", I, like many
others, would like to see peace
restored around the World.
Particularly in Viet Nam, that
answers may be found to the
questions, "Why are we fight-
ing there and what are we to
gain from our fighting?"
VERLENE BROWN During the
year of 1966, I would like to
see peace among men. Peace
among the Negroes and Whites
at home as well as peace in
Viet Nam. I wish this year
could be filled with peace and
harmony between all man-
kind.

will stop at nothing in realizing
her ambitions. Her neighbors
are not welcome to her home;
and she demonstrates this when
the woman across the street
comes over to the Craig house.
while Mr. Craig is away.

above the health of her sister
and the happiness of her hus-
band.

by Kathleen Jamerson, a junior;
and Charles Savage, II. and El-
oulse Glover, both seniors.

Students Search
For Creativity
Many Savannah State College
students were given the oppor-
tunity to view experiments and
projects in search of the mean-
ing of creativity when students
enrolled in the course Art 323
i Painting) reported that the
class had undergone spectacular
expansion that is, from the
regular art studio into halls and
other rooms in the Art Depart-
ment.
The principle reason for the
expansion, it seems, is that each
student in the class was to com-
plete a mural project as a final
assignment. Murals are neces-
sarily large and require consid-
erable space in which to work.
Artis Jackson, of Brunswick,
was credited for using more
space than other students in
the painting class. She made a
batik mural which is twelve feet
long. In order to accomplish
this objective, Miss Jackson
melted a bit of wax in one room,
carried it to another, and then
applied it to her fabric. Phillip
J Hampton, assistant professor
of fine arts, who is instructor of
the painting class, stated that
Miss Jackson used every con-
ceivable method for applying
dyes to the fabric.
Hampton stated that not only
did the idea of finding the
meaning of creativity pose a
challenge to his art class but
with a wisp of air through chit-
chat, the movement began as
a challenge to other art classes
to explore the meaning of crea-
tivity. The art projects under-
way presented a flair of interest
to the layman passing through
the department's halls. As an
example, works by Theodosia
Tharps and Lula Thompson, two
art students, captured the at-
tention of many passersby. Miss
Tharps was busy at work past-
ing paper and rolling paint in
order to create a mural form.
Miss Thompson, dressed in art-
ist's attire, carefully and en-
grossingly painted with tempera
on an eight-foot burlap panel,
Lena Bauknight, another art
student, expressed herself in a
mural painting using tempera
and casein glue as binder. In
particular, one unique aspect of
Miss Bauknight's work is the
manner in which she employed
a palette knife and sand in her
painting technique.
With the creation of a vibrant
and colorful technique, Vernedia
Johnson of Savannah, used the
life of the great humanitarian
and scientist, George Washing-
ton Carver, as her subject.
Hampton stated that even
though the task of doing such
a mural was painstaking, Miss
Johnson never succumbed to de-
feat

FASHIONS
BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, ESQUIRES Fashion Director
Tomorrow's forecast could rend "Below-freezing temperatures, and
snow turning to sleet late in the afternoon." No doubt about it,
winter is well on its way. And no self-respecting college man wants
to be caught looking through the glass darkly when the big freeze
hits. So, a few fashion tips on your cold-weather wardrobe are in
order. Let's take a quick run-down on the trends in outerwear for
the months ahead,
THE THIN RED LINE plummets toward zero,
but you'll ho snug in your campus tow coat the
cold-weather cover-all. This new "tops-every-
thing" coat is a lineal descendant of the "Ski
Look." Its basically bulky, masculine lines are
combined with feather-light weight. The tow
coat is readily identifiable by its length, which
ie short at most, 38" breaking just above the
knee. All-wool or polyester cotton fabrics,
usually in a twill or poplin weave, are the most
popular in both single and double breasted

which along with the "Ski Look," are creating a major revolution
in sportswear. One-way S-T-R-E-T-C-H is the horizontal give-and-

maintaining the tapered look, along with greater ease and comfort
at points of stress.
SOUND THE I RUMPETSfoi the big swing back to leather. Leather
sport coats and jackets as well as longer coats in brushed suede and
grained leather are definitely in. Leather accessories are big too:
bindings on collars, closures, button-holes and sleeves add a dis-
tinctive and practical touch. For the more conservative and for
the more formal occasion woolen top coats in a raglan sleeve,
natural-shoulder, single-breasted bold new Herringbone are getting
the nod. The Herringbone measures about an inch wide and is made
of black and white or grey coarse yarns. Traditional campus styling
includes flapped pockets and a fly front. And, of course, the fleece-
type camel hair coat remains a campus classic.
THIS SIDE OF PARADISE the well-dressed col-
lege man will be properly hatted against win-
ter's icy fury. The "suede swinger" constructed
on a firm yet flexible nylon frame, is made of
velvety suedes and brushed leathers in natural
shades to coordinate with all kinds of leather
and textured sportswear fabrics. A small crown, a narrow brim,
and a snap-band complete the picture.
Well, sports fans, now that
football season is over, it's time
to start the round ball to bounc-
ing.
The Savannah State College
basketball team started its prac-
tice sessions immediately after
football season. The Tigers are
composed of seven returning let-
termen and eight newcomers
with great expectations The
season opened December 1, 1965
with the Tigers playing host to
South Carolina State College.
Even though our team lost, they
exhibited excellent sportsman-
ship and promising potentials.
In the second game of the sea-
son the victory hungry Tigers
traveled to St. Augustine, Flor-
ida, to play against the Florida
Memorial Lions in a game of few
mistakes, high scoring, strong
defensive efforts, ball trapping
and most of all team work that
propelled the mighty Tigers to a
95-89 victory. The half-time
score was 50-50 and the game
was tied again in the last quar-
ter, 80-80. In the last three
minutes of the game, the Tigers
were 9 points behind, but a
group of hungry, determined Ti-
gers fought to a three-point lead
which they increased to 6 before
the final buzzer of the game.
The Tigers' attack was led by
Walter Fulton, 26 points; O. C.
Baker, 25; and Israel Gatewood,
21. The starting players were
Carl Crump (6'1") forward, Mil-
ton Brilton C6'6") center, Israel
Gatewood (6") forward, Walter
Fulton (6'5") guard, O. C. Baker
<6'1">.

Sports
Outlook
With
Lewis Wltherspoon and
Frank Ellis
Hi! sports fans. I'm back on the scene with the latest happen-
ings in SSC's world of sports.
As people express their views and give their opinions of the
football team's disappointing
record, they must take into con-
sideration that no matter who
the coach is or what team it is,
it still remains a fact that it is
hard to win without adequate
experience on any kind of team.
As far as statistics are con-
cerned the team was just as
good or better than most of the
opponents. The team's ability
to move the ball from their 20
yard zone line or closer to the
goal line was quite amazing, but
on the other hand their inability
to go on and score was some-
thing else. The inability of the
team to score could be contrib-
uted to inexperience. For it is
widely known that the toughest
yardage in football comes be-
tween the goal line and the 20
yard line.
The SSC family can be proud
of its football team even though
their record does not give you
reason to be. The Tigers played
such good games that five of
the football players were se-
lected as members of the two
all conference teams. Frank
Bell, fullback and Barry Gold,
guard were selected to the first
team; Horace Graham, center,
Judson Brown, tackle, and Frank
Ellis, Jr., halfback, were selected
to the second team.
On the intramural scene, the
physical education team again
walked away with the cham-
pionship as they defeated the
Alphas and Wright Hall Tigers
for the honor.
All persons who are interested
in participating in the intramu-
ral basketball program are urged
to submit the name of their
team members to Robert Cain
and Frank Ellis, Jr. before the
Christmas Holidays so that the
program can be started at the
beginning of the winter quarter.
Merry Xmas!
squad was O. B. Baker; his abil-
ity to score from any position on
the court combined with his de-
fensive ability left the vicious
Lions purring like a litter of
newly born kittens.
Other members of the mighty
Tigers not mentioned are: Clark
Brooks, Charles Day, Solomon
Dotson, Frank Ellis, Vernon Jen-
nings, Jerome Johnson, Hiawa-
tha Paul, Sylvester Reddick,
Charles Ruttand, and James
Ruttand.
We wish to commend Coach
Richardson and the Tigers and
also to let them know that we
are behind them 100%.
Say, sports fans! Have you
heard that five of our football
players made all S.E.A.C.???
Well, if you haven't, they are
Frank Bell, fullback; Judson
Brown, tackle; Frank Ellis, half-
back; Barry Gold, guard; and
Horace Graham, center. All of
them are expected back next
season except our graduating
captain, Frank Ellis.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND A
HAPPY NEW YEAR
THE CALL OF THE WILD comes through bud
and clear in the HOOT BOOT. Great for foot-
ball games and trudging through midwinter
slush, the HOOT BOOT is an example of the
ideal marriage of fashion and function. This
2-eyelet demi-boot has a shorter rise than last
year's models, pointed up by a turnback welt
seam. Unlined or for the cold-weather campus
lined with fleece or shearling, the HOOT
BOOT features grained, plain or brushed leath-
ers, with leather or rubber sole. Soft, subtle
heather mixtures of HOOT Hose are emphasized by their fleecy
finish. They are the answer to the perennial campus demand for
practical, easy-care hose.
That's it for the latest word on outerwear. Next month, in plenty
of time to prepare you for the up-coming whirl of holiday celebra-
tions, we'll take a close look at the formalwear scene. See you then.
NEW FASTBACK VERSION OF OPEL KADETT
The latest version of fastback styling is featured in the two-door Sport Coupe in the 1966 Opel

increased to 54 with an optional performance package that includes a 60 horsepower engine and front
disc brakes. Kadctls are built in West Germany and distributed in the United States through more
than 600 Bukk dealerships.

Presidents Message
On behalf of the administration, faculty, and staff of Savannah
ate College I am happy, indeed, to extend greetings and cordial
ords of welcome to our student body as you come back to the
' "liege to begin another calendar year 1966. I sincerely hope that
"ii have had a merry Christmas vacation, and that you come back
"'ted. refreshed, and eager to start another academic quarter. All
ol us in the administration, faculty, and staff sincerely hope and
pray that the year ahead will be a happy and profitable one for you.
It is our great hope and expectation that 1966 will be one of the most
glorious years in the history of the College. Each of us must give
the best of our efforts to make this so. To this end, the administra-
tion, faculty, and staff pledge their wholehearted cooperation and
support in helping you. the students, make this one of your finest
years.
The old year is ended; the bright new year, with all of its possi-
bilities for success and happiness, is before us. What will the new
year bring? Will it bring the success of our plans the fulfillment
Of our dreams? Only you can determine the answer to this, by the
firmness and strength of your resolutions to work up to your
maximum abilities in achieving all that the College has to offer.
I believe there is not one of us but who, in the depths of his heart,
says at the beginning of a new year, "I will strive harder; I will do
better; I will accomplish more in this year that is just commencing."
And even though we do not realize all our hopes, we are better men
and women for the thought and the effort. As members of the
Savannah State College family, it must be our ultimate aim to
accomplish more in the year ahead than we have accomplished in
the years passed.
Significant progress has been made in the past few years in
providing a better environment here at the College for learning.
We confidently expect our expansion program to continue to move
rapidly ahead. In this connection, on January 13, bids will be opened
for the new men's dormitory which will house 180 men. Requests
have been made of the board of regents to authorize construction of
a new dining hall, new science building, student center, and building
for early childhood education. The official College family pledges
to you dedicated efforts in securing these much needed facilities.
This month, another new facility will' be opened to provide the
members of the College family with improved instructional facilities
and facilities for recreation and pleasure the annex to Willcox-
Wiley Gymnasium, which houses a swimming pool. While the swim-
ming pool is a long awaited and much needed facility, everyone
must recognize that it carries with it some dangers and should be
used very carefully. Regulations concerning the use of the swimming
jacility will be posted by the Department of Health and Physical
Education. We earnestly solicit your strict adherence to the regula-
tions for your safety and comfort.
Again, may v/e say welcome back, and our best wishes for a
prosperous new year.

College Library
Issues Handbook
The College Library recently
issued the second edition of its
Library Handbook for Students.
The first edition was issued in
1961. Since that time library
service on the campus of Sa-
vannah State College has ex-
panded tremendously. The book
collection is growing rapidly,
there has been the offering of
photocopying services, the Cur-
riculum Materials Center has
been established and reference
services now include more highly
specialized indicies. abstracts,
microcards and other important
reference tools.
In his introduction to the
handbook, E. J. Josey, Libra-
rian, indicated "The Library
Handbook has been compiled by
the members of the library staff
to aid you in making effective
use of the Library during your
four years as a college student.
As a matter of fact, the mastery
of the techniques and procedures
of good library usage in college
will also be an asset to those of
you who matriculate in graduate
school or to those of you who
will use your public library fa-
cilities in the communities in
which you will make your
home."
Greetings
From the Staff
By Robert L. Joiner, Jr.
On behalf of the Tiger's Roar
Staff, it is a pleasure to extend
a hearty and most warm wel-
come to you on returning to pre-
pare yourselves for the chal-
lenges of tomorrow.
I hope, however, that the new
year will mean more to you than
just a change in the calendar.
I trust that you will work hard
to erase the mistakes which you
have made in the past. Further-
more, I hope that you have
made a tentative outline so that
you will know where you are
going and what you are going to
do when you get there.
For those of you who are en-
tering SSC for the first time, I
ask you to study hard and ex-
ercise the many facilities which
the college makes available to
you.
Again. I welcome you back,
and may I warn: in order to
make this quarter successful,
"your reach must exceed your
grasp."

NAIA Names A1I-A
The most impressive offensive
unit in NAIA history highlights
the 1965 All-America football
team as announced today by the
National Association of Inter-
collegiate Athletics.
Although there is only one re-
peater on the first offensive or
defensive team of the mythical
NAIA selections, the statistics
indicate this team knows how
to move the ball.
The quarterback is Ed Bu2zell
of Ottawa (Kan.), who threw 31
touchdown passes this season
(72 during his four-year career)
and averaged 241.1 yards a game
passing during 1965.
Joining Buzzell in the back-
field are three power-packed
runners, repeater Bruce Mc-
Lenna, Hillsdale (Mich.); Allen
Smith. Findlay (Ohio), and Mel
Stanton. Eastern Washington
State. All are seniors, except
Smith, who is a junior.
McLenna, a 228-pound dy-
namo, averaged 112 yards a
game to finish No. 12 in rushing
to close out a fine college career.
Smith repeated as the NAIA
scoring champion with 146
points and also won the rushing
title as he edged Stanton two
yards 1,240 to 1,238 for the sea-
son. Stanton also placed second
mericans
in scoring with 126 points. Smith
is a 6-foot, 190-pounder, and
Stanton is 5-9, 185.
The ends, too, proved adept at
compiling good yardage as Spen-
cer (Spike) Gordon, 5-10 senior
from Southern Oregon, estab-
lished a new NAIA average of
129.2 yards a game on 70 catches
for 1,163 yards. Joining Gordon
is Darrell Elam, 6-2. 185-pound
senior from West Virginia Tech,
who caught 55 passes for 882
yards.
Fred Cremer, 245-pound junior
from St. John's (Minn.), and
Frank Cornish, senior giant 280-
pound from Grambling (La.),
form a mighty twosome at
tackle. Cremer was named the
outstanding lineman in both the
NAIA National semi-finals and
the Championship as he led St.
John's to its second champion-
ship in three years.
Hard blocking senior Keith
Collins, Sam Houston State
(Texas), and Larry McDaniel,
Minot State (N.D.) senior, are
the first team guards and Ed
Kruml, Kearney State (Neb.) ,
who has been a starter four
years, won out in the close bal-
loting for center. Collins weighs
210 and McDaniel 205.

SSC Presents
Student Art Show
Savannah State College is
presenting its annual Student
Art Show through the month of
January. Included in the show
are paintings, sculpture, ceram-
ics and prints. The show is open
to the public.
Noteworthy in the show is the
work of Herman Woods, an art
major at Savannah State Col-
lege. Woods has had in the past
considerable success with his
work. He was recently commis-
sioned to do a mural for the
Second Baptist Church. Rever-
end E. P. Quarterman. Pastor.
Additionally, one of his out-
standing pieces was purchased
by a Mississippi art collector
while viewing an art show in the
art department at Savannah
State College. He has worked
with the National Conference of
Artists Traveling Show. A fel-
low artist included in the show
is Paul Johnson. The traveling
show is under the direction of
Mrs. Virginia Kiah.
Future art attractions involv-
ing outstanding international
personalities are presently being
prepared by the Fine Arts De-
partment for the college campus
and the community of Savan-
nah. The public will be informed
and invited to participate.
SSC to Offer New
Major Programs
According to Dr. Howard Jor-
dan. Jr.. President of Savannah
State College, the Board of Re-
gents recently approved the of-
ferings of a medical technology
program, and a major in ac-
counting at the college. The
medical technology program will
be instituted on July 1. 1966, and
the accounting curriculum will
be established at the beginning
of the 1966-67 school year.
Under the medical technology
program, biology and chemistry
majors may pursue prescribed
courses at Savannah State Col-
lege for three years and subse-
quently enroll for a twelve-
month internship in the Depart-
ment of Pathology at Memorial
Hospital. Upon completion of
the internship, the students will
receive a certificate from Memo-
rial Hospital and a Bachelor of
Science degree from Savannah
State College.
For a number of years the
Division of Business Adminis-
tration at Savannah State Col-
lege has provided opportunities
for students to major in general
business administration, busi-
ness education, secretarial sci-
ence, and economics. In addi-
tion, students enrolled in this
area could elect a limited num-
ber of offerings in accounting.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
January 12. 1966
Three New SSC Buildings Named
Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., Presi-
dent of Savannah State College,
announces that the following
names for three Savannah State
College buildings were approved
by the Board of Regents at its
meeting on Dec. 15.
The proposed Men's Dormitory
will be named Peacock Hall for
the late Rev. Amjogollo Elijah
Peacock, who served as a mem-
ber of the Savannah State Col-
lege faculty from 1940 until the
time of his death. Nov 8. 1962,
Professor Peacock was one of
the most admired members of
the faculty. Not only did he
serve as counsellor to students,
but he was an advisor to faculty
members as well. He served as
College Minister from 1940-1952
and taught in the Department
of Social Sciences from 1959-
1962.
Under his leadership, the Col-
lege developed a well-balanced
educational program of spiritual
and moral values Religious
Emphasis Week, regular campus
Church Services. Sunday School
and Vespers. Vespers and As-
sembly programs were under his
direction.
He was also active in frater-
nal, civic, and general commu-
nity welfare programs. He was
a Grand Lodge Officer of the
Prince Hall Masons of Georgia.
Reverend Peacock was born in
Bathurat Gambia. British West
Africa. September 21, 1826, and
died in Savannah. Georgia. No-
vember 8, 1962.
He received the B.D, degree
from Wilberforce University in
1935. the B.S. degree from Wil-
berforce University in 1938, and
the M.A. degree from Howard
University in 1940.

Kennedy Fine Arts Center for
the 35th President of the United
States, the late President John
Fitzgerald Kennedy. In addition
to President Kennedy's efforts
to assist undergraduate educa-
tion in the United States, he
was generally listed as a patron
of the Arts. President Kennedy
was the unanimous choice of
faculty, students, and alumni
for the name of this building.
The Infirmary will be named
W. A. Harris Infirmary for the
first College Physician, Dr. Wil-
liam A. Harris. Dr. Harris was
a member of the first class at
the college when it was organ-
ized.
Dr. Harris was born in Madi-
son, Georgia, in 1877. and died in
Savannah, Georgia. July, 1948.
He is survived by his widow,
Julia Mae.
Guaranteed Jobs
Abroad For Students
At the end of last term, six
hundred intrepid students and
teachers i ranging in age from
18 to 40) hopped from class-
rooms to Europe in practically
one leap. None of them was par-
ticularly wealthy and none was
on a special grant or scholar-
ship. Yet each was able to af-
ford a fabulous, meaningful,
cultural summer abroad. The
six hundred peripatetics were
participants in the Jobs Abroad
program originated by the In-
ternational Student Information
Service (ISIS), a non-profit or-
ganization headquartered in
Brussels, Belgium.
ISIS and its American affili-
ate, the Internationa! Student
Travel Center (ISTCi, are orga-
nizations devoted to providing
jobs abroad to students and
teachers who are sincerely in-
terested in expanding their ho-
rizons by living and working
abroad. The ISIS ISTC Jobs
Abroad program was established
in 1961. Many students who par-
ticipated that first year have
repeated their educational ex-
perience in the ensuing years.
Most of the jobs are for un-
skilled workers in construction,
on farms, in factories, hospitals.
hotels and restaurants, as moth-
er's helpers and camp counsel-
lors. Salaries range from $50 a
month i including room and
board) to $200 a month. Aver-
age pay is $100 a month and al-
though low by American wage
standards, it is usually more
than enough to pay living ex-
penses while in Europe. The sal-
aries are the same as those paid
to local employees doing the
same job.
Working in Europe gives a
participant all the cultural ben-
efits available to a tourist. But
the participant acquires knowl-
edge while he is earning . . . not
spending. The student-worker
has the unique advantage of
getting a sharp, clear picture of
a country and its culture for he
sees it through the eyes of its
people. The tourist generally
gets a hazy and somewhat dis-
torted picture, for he sees it
through the glass of a bus win-
dow.
Although participants are re-
quired to pay their own trans-
portation cost when they join
the Jobs Abroad program, it is
possible for an ambitious, re-
sourceful student to earn his
round-trip transatlantic fare by
being an active campus repre-

two organizations are the only
ones of their kind which abso-
lutely guarantee a job abroad to
anyone who is accepted as a par-
ticipant. Members are also en-

averages 217 pounds a man and
the defense averages 228 pounds
a man. Oddly enough the of-
fense and defense each has a
280-pounder.
Husky Tom Seals, Georgetown
(Ky.) guard, provides the most
beef on the defensive unit. At
280 he led Georgetown to a per-
fect season with his stubborn
defensive play and provided
some offensive punch as well by
kicking eight field goals. And,
he's the only junior on the de-
fensive first team. The other
guard on defense is Dennis
Chinn, 205-pounder from Occi-

Kappa Alpha Psi
Initiates Five
New Members
By Leonard Jones
The week of Nov. 15 hailed
he addition of five new mem-
bers to the Gamma Chi chapter
if Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity.
:nc. The five men initiated are
Vaughn Ford, Willie Golphin.
orneil Florance, Robert Penna-
non and Charles McCray. The
members of Gamma Chi are
elated to welcome these neo-
phyte brothers, and look for-
vard to working with them in
keeping with the fine traditions
->f Kappa Alpha Psi.
As part of the year's project,
the members are planning the
mnual Christmas for the chil-
dren from Greenbriar Children's
-enter. This has always been a
'ery successful annual project,
md the members look forward
o it each year. Other projects
or the year include the annual
esper and chapel programs.
CHRISTMAS BAZAAR A SUCCESS
New Silverless Coin
Smarter Than Machines
It's been said in some quarters
; hat machines are becoming
smarter than men.
Maybe so. but in one recent
instance a group of men com-
bined their talents to fool twelve
million machines. What's more,
the machines still don't know
they're being tricked.
The deceived devices are
America's vending machines, pay
phones, parking meters and
other coin-operated instruments.
According to a December Read-
er's Digest article, it's been quite
a job to gull them into accepting
those new dimes, quarters and
half-dollars the ones that con-
tain less silver than heretofore.
The new coins were necessary
because there just isn't enough
silver to go around.
Other countries have already
switched to silverless or reduced-
silver coins. Our own stockpile
of silver was declining at a rate
that would have wiped it out in
three years.
Having decided to produce
coins that contain less silver, the
u - S. Treasury faced the awe-
some problem of altering mil-
lions of vending machines so
they'd accept the new coins a
two-and-a-half-year job or of
trying to perfect a coin that the
machines would accept as genu-
ine.
Students supported the Home Economics Department's annual
Christmas Bazaar in order to make it a success.
Men of Omega
Complete Project
The men of Alpha Gamma
Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity finished their first
project of the 1965-66 academic
year Sunday, December 12, 1965.
The brothers visited the Old
Folks Home and entertained pa-
tients there. After the brothers
presented the gift to the pa-
tients, they entertained them by
singing Christmas Carols.
It is hoped that people will not
look at Omega as an organiza-
tion which does nothing more
than have parties. It is through
these constructive projects along
with our academic standard that
we justify our means.
Mormons Ban Dances
At Bi iuImuii Young
(ACP) The frug. swim, jerk,
and other "fad dances" were
banned from the Brigham Young
University campus recently i Oc-
tober 4).
The student government Exec-
utive Council voted to prohibit
"suggestive" dances it consid-
ered contrary to Mormon stand-
ards.
University President Ernest L.
Wilkinson commended the Coun-
cil for the "positive action they
had taken in dance standards"
and said classes were being
scheduled to teach students so-
cial dancing.
Delta Sigma Theta
Initiates Nine
The sisters of Delta Nu Chap-
ter, of Delta Sigma Theta Soror-
ity, initiated nine new sorors
into their great sisterhood. They
are Gloria Duncans, Alyne Eady,
Laura Eady, Margaree Johnson.
Lula LaCounte, Minnie Hudson,
Joyce Washington, Constance
Heath, and Angela Mack. These
girls are noted for their magnif-
icent voices and their academic
standing.
As one of the Delta's projects
this year, they will entertain the
children at Greenbriar and also
take toys along with them to
these children. The Deltas have
two other projects which they
would like to carry out during
this academic year: visit the
Old Folks Home in Savannah
and visit the Psychiatric ward
at Memorial Hospital.
Their annual Christmas carol-
ing was held Dec. 10, 1965.

Longer Breaks
(ACP) A Michigan State Uni-
versity senior finally found the
congestion on campus buses too
much to bear. So, he wrote a
letter to the "Michigan State
News" bemoaning his plight on
the "cow college's cattle vans."
Here's what he had to say:
Now that I am into the fall
term of 1965, I have been
crowded, pushed, shoved, pinched
and practically raped while try-
ing to crowd, push, shove, pinch
and practically rape my way
into our fair campus buses. We
are trying to destroy our image
as a cow college so why must we
be herded into the buses?
Every time I have boarded a
bus to reach class on time. I
have begun at least one half
hour early and have always ar-
rived from 10 to 15 minutes after
the instructor has begun his lec-
ture.
Obviously, there should be
either a greater number of buses
or a smaller number of students.
Which is more feasible?
If the University is going to
sell this service to students, it
should be prepared to run the
buses efficiently.
I'm sure that I speak not only
for myself, but also for the
three students looking over my
shoulder and the one standing
on my foot.
SAVANNAH STATE COLLECE
CLUB &
CAMPUS
ft* FASHIONS
BY 0. E. SCHOEFFLER, ESQUIRES Fashion Director
Tomorrow's forecast could read "Below-freezing temperatures, and
snow turning to sleet late in the afternoon." No doubt about it,
winter is well on its way. And no self-respecting college man wants
to be caught looking through the glass darkly when the big freeze
hits. So. a few fashion tips on your cold-weather wardrobe are in
order. Let's take a quick run-down on the trends in outerwear for
the months ahead.
THE THIN RED LINE plummets toward zero,
but you'll be snug in your campus tow coat the
cold-weather cover-all. This new "tops-every-
thing" coat is a lineal descendant of the "Ski
Look," Its basically bulky, masculine lines are
combined with feather-light weight. The tow
coat is readily identifiable by its length, which
is short at most, 38" breaking just above the
knee. All-wool or polyester cotton fabrics,
usually in a twill or poplin weave, are the most
popular in both single and double breasted
styles. Color preferences range from tan
through dark blue, black, and Loden green.
SOUND THE TRUMPETS for the big swing back to leather. Leather
sport coats and jackets as well as longer coats in brushed suede and
grained leather are definitely in. Leather accessories are big too:
bindings on collars, closures, button-holes and sleeves add a dis-
tinctive and practical touch. For the more conservative and for
th? more formal occasion woolen top coats in a raglan sleeve,
natural-shoulder, single-breasted bold new Herringbone are getting
the nod. The Herringbone measures about an inch wide and is made
of black and white or grey coarse yarns. Traditional campus styling
includes flapped pockets nnd a fly front. And. of course, the fleece-
type camel hair coat remains a campus classic.
THE CALL OF THE WILD comes through loud
and clear in the HOOT BOOT. Great for foot-
ball games and trudging through midwinter
slush, the HOOT BOOT is an example of the
ideal marriage of fashion and function. This
2-eyelet demi-boot has a shorter rise than last
year's models, pointed up by a turnback welt
seam. Unlined or for the cold-weather campus
lined with fleece or shearling, the HOOT
BOOT features grained, plain or brushed leath-
ers, with leather or rubber sole. Soft, subtle
heather mixtures of HOOT Hose are emphasized by their fleecy
finish. They are the answer to the perennial campus demand for
practical, easy-care hose.
That's it for the latest word on outerwear Next month, in plenty
of time to prepare you for the up-coming whirl of holiday celebra-
tions, we'll take a close look at the formalwear scene. See you then.

SEX ON THE CAMPUS
(ACP> Sex on campus has
been talked and written about
so much that it usually elicits
only a yawn nowadays, says col-
umnist Carrol Cagle in the "New
Mexico Lobo," University of New
Mexico. But it is wise to realize
the major problems on campus
in an effort to solve them.
The main problem is that
there are too many conduct rules
which cannot be completely en-
forced and can only lead to more
problems.
Women in residence halls are
required to be in at a certain
hour and are not allowed to stay
out overnight unless they follow
due procedure. This is not the
case in dozens of instances every
night, and everyone knows it.
The administration is not
really at fault. It is required to
at least go through the motions
of protecting morals because of
public scrutiny. Many adminis-
trators admit privately they
would like nothing better than
to forfeit their job as moral
watchguard. But they just can't.
Universities must be bold and
farsighted when it comes to
facing sociological problems. Act-
ing as a moral guardian is
hardly in step with a university's
purpose.
The sheer weight of tradition
surrounding closing hours and
bed checks discourages all but a
few women from challenging the
system. It has always been this
way, thus it shall continue.
I would like to propose that
there is something drastically
wrong with the system. It treats
women as cattle; they have to
be shuttled through the chutes
by closing time or they acquire
"late minutes" or worse.
The system perhaps wouldn't
be so bad if it followed the pat-
terns of society. But there are
many women the same age as
these disciplined coeds who are
secretaries, clerks, etc., and don't
have such restrictions. They
would rebel if they were treated
as 16-year-olds again. What a
person does with his personal
life should remain private, to be
handled individually.
Besides, everyone is familiar
with the argument that closing
hours have little or no effect on
the amount of sexual relations
of coeds. Daytime will suffice,
thank you.
In addition, there is no evi-
dence from other universities to
indicate that relaxed or abol-
ished hours would allow women
to run wild and that the Univer-
sity would soon be all male, the
women having dropped out be-
cause of pregnancies.
Most women would probably
be in their rooms by about the
same time anyway. Or perhaps
earlier, because there is a stigma
about going in before closing
hour.
And those who wish to do
otherwise could continue their
current practices, but without
hypocrisy. In actuality, very lit-
tle would change.
The real issue is that persons
of university age ought to be
treated as persons, not as chat-
tels.
Change will only come when
courageous people speak out.
then take steps to resolve the
problem. But, first of all, the
women involved have to realize
that a problem exists.

Building Contract
Is Awarded
Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., Presi-
dent of Savannah State College,
announces that The Regents of
the University System of Geor-
gia has awarded a contract for
a new Men's Dormitory to house
180 men to be constructed on the
Savannah State College Campus.
The new modern structure,
designed by the Savannah Ar-
chitectural firm of Sewell and
Associates, Inc., will contain ap-
proximately 38,000 square feet
of floor space and will provide
90 student rooms. Each student
room will house two students
and will be equipped with two
desks, beds, wardrobes and chest
of drawers provided for under
the contract. Toilets and laun-
dry facilities will be provided on
each of the three floors. A large
lobby and activities room on the
first floor will be available for
student activities and social
functions for the entire college.
An apartment is located on the
first floor for the Director. The
entire building will be air con-
ditioned.
To cost $511,782.00 the rein-
forced concrete brick and stone
structure will be built by the
Artley Company, General Con-
tractors, who were the success-
ful low bidders on the project.
Construction is scheduled to be-
gin immediately and to be com-
pleted in 330 days.

Savannah State College re-
ceived a $2,000 "package" of vis-
ual education equipment as part
of a $1.5 million national assist-
ance grant to education program
sponsored by the 3M Company,
St. Paul, Minnesota.
Under the 3M Assistance
Grants to Education program,
model classroom visual commu-
nications systems and reference
materials were given to each of
the approximately 700 accred-
ited teacher training colleges In
the United States. The program
is the second phase of 3M's aid
to education program.
In 1963. the company pre-
sented equipment grants to 500
public, private and parochial
schools in the fifty states.
The announcement of the 3M
grant to Savannah State College
was made today at a 3M Awards
presentation sponsored by En-
field's local 3M Visual Products
dealer.
Accepting the grant for Sa-
vannah State College was Dr.
Howard Jordan, Jr., President.
Mr. William Maier, Sales Man-
ager of Enfield's said, "Our first
Assistance Grants to Education
program was designed to en-
courage creative teaching in
schools of all levels from kin-
dergarten through graduate
school by providing them with
the latest visual communications
system.
"But, it's equally important to
expose our future teachers to
the types of teaching tools they
will work with when they em-
bark on their new careers. This
was the prime purpose of the
second 3M Assistance Grants
program. Taken as a whole, the
two programs help meet the
need to communicate knowledge
effectively to today's and tomor-
row's students."
Each $2,000 grant consists of
a complete teacher training unit
in visual classroom communica-
tions. Included is a unit of in-
struction in the use of visual
aids, reference books, sets of
transparency originals of illus-
trative material in 70 different
subjects, transparency making
equipment, and classroom and
portable overhead projectors and
supplies, reproduction and pro-
jection of almost any written,
typed, printed, drawn or
sketched material onto a screen
in a fully-lighted room. Mate-
rial to be projected is simply
passed through an office copier
with a sheet of film. The image
is transferred to the film which
is then placed on the projector
stage for classroom showing.
The system is efficient, inex-
pensive, and allows the teacher
to focus class attention on a vis-
ual subject. The speed and flex-
ibility in preparation of visual
materials, also enables the
teacher to provide her class with
up-to-the-minute information.

Supreme Court Ban on School Prayers
Increases Study of Bible as Literature
has encouraged this, saying "the
One result of the Supreme
Court decisions against prayers
in public schools is an increase
in the study of the Bible as lit-
erature, writes Clarence W. Hall
in a February Reader's Digest
article, "Is Religion Banned
from Our Schools?"
Associate Justice Tom C. Clark
Bible is worthy of study for its
literary and historic qualities"
and that such study presented
objectively "does not conflict
with the First Amendment.
"Teaching the Bible as litera-
ture has perhaps won more
practitioners than any other,"
writes Dr. Hall. "In Indiana, al-
most two thirds of the public
schools use the Bible in their
literature classes, and a course
in 'Biblical literature' is an au-
thorized elective for high school
students."
Many secondary schools across
the country have introduced
courses in comparative religion.
In Georgia, the state board of
education asserts, most teachers
are now including the Bible as
a text in literature courses.
In California, public school
teachers are now required to in-
clude in their courses appropri-
ate study of the role of religion
in the story of mankind. In
Texas, history teachers discuss
the relationship of church and
state.
The American Association of
School Administrators recently
appointed a special commission
to produce guidelines for those
who establish school policy. "If
we school people are up to its
implied challenge," says Dr. Ar-
chibald B. Shaw, associate sec-
retary of the organization, "the
Supreme Court's decisions may
well turn out to have done more
for both education and religion
than all the legislative hearings
and church pressures."

body, it Is my pleasure to extend greetings and a warm welcome to
each of the participants of the 15th Annual Southern Regional Press
Institute as you come once again to our campus.
Throughout the years this Institute has been a strong force in
creating interest and enthusiasm for journalism in the elementary
schools, high schools, and colleges throughout the State of Georgia
and the Southeast. Your presence here, in this Institute, indicates
the importance of this Institute with respect to the role of jour-
nalism in a dynamic society. You. as young journalists, have a per-
sonal role to play in our ever-changing world. As future journalists,
you will become the guardians of responsibility, of freedom, and of
truth. Over the years, the Southern Regional Press Institute has
been a glowing asset to the college through its painstaking spotlight
and clarification of the numerous benefits of journalistic studies.
The theme this year "The Importance Of Mass Media In Our
Daily Lives" is Indeed a significant and timely one, especially in this
age when our major concern is developing an educated citizenry.
I believe that our society owes much of its progress to the news
media, which provides accurate facts and information about prob-
lems so that all citizens may make intelligent decisions.
We hope that this Institute, although brief, will be beneficial.
enjoyable, and profitable. Moreover, we hope that you will carry
away many helpful suggestions and ideas which will Improve your
school newspapers, your yearbooks, and other publications. We wish
for you a very successful Institute.
Again, we welcome you to our campus, and we invite you to visit
with us often.

OUR STAND
IN VIET NAM
By Charles Elmore
The big question confronting most Americans and college stu-
dents today is how or when will the war in Viet Nam end. This is
a question that can not be answered at the present time, because
so many factors are involved in the resolvement of the war in South
East Asia. Many college men and young married men with families
are being drafted for the military service to give their all for a cause
which they are all too uncertain. The average reaction to this type
of militaristic strongarming is one of public indignation. There are
many conflicting views on the Viet Nam crisis by the American
people. We should all as Americans and lovers of liberty place our-
selves in the position of the Vietnamese people whose country is
torn by war and poverty. Once the situation is analyzed from this
vantage point and the several solutions to the problem are studied
we will all begin to understand why we must maintain our troops
in Viet Nam.
There are sound theories to support this viewpoint. The paper
tiger theory states that we must stand firm in Viet Nam in order
to maintain our prestige in the Far East and our power in the
Pacific. This is one of the reasons the United States took up the
war mantle in Southeast Asia after Ho Chi Minh expelled the French
in 1954.
There is also the domino theory which states that if we give up
the struggle in Viet Nam and let the Communists take over, com-
munism would eat like a cancer into all of the countries below and
surrounding South Viet Nam. Some of these countries are New
Zealand, Malaysia. Thailand, the Philippines, Australia, and many
other nearby countries,
The United States should consolidate its present position and
stop the bombing raids on North Viet Nam, which take the lives of
innocent women and children. The policy makers of the United
States should negotiate for a peaceful settlement. At the same time
they must not sacrifice our fortifications in Viet Nam to obtain this
end.
In negotiating for and obtaining an armistice the United States
may possibly avert a third world war. This would set the example
for all of the other countries of the world and lead us all on the
long road to universal brotherhood with all of our fellow men.
The Fate of Wars
By Juanita D. Myers
In an era when the reach of
man is extended Into the infin-
ity of space and the nucleus of
an atom, he still lacks the power
of advanced reasoning. Nations
who defy gravity and launch
miniature stars that dangle and
record the vast secrets of the
universe pride themselves in
their fearless conquest of the
untrodden and unknown, mak-
ing servants of energy and the
atom.
Is it Impossible for these na-
tions to exist in peaceful co-ex-
istence? Must their energies al-
ways be geared to destruction of
life and substance, or can they
find the sources of their needs?
Wars have existed since the
beginning of time, leaving be-
hind clouds of indifference and
scores of unsolved problems.
Clouds that wait for total ab-
sorption and then burst and
spray their vomit on the minds
of those below.
Is man incapable of reasoning
and must he suffer such fates
generation after generation, or
can he advance himself to a
stage of competent reasoning?
The decision is his and the
fate can be shared by him alone.
Nations before have had the
chance but their reasoning
proved inadequate. Only epi-
taphs remain, reminding us of
their presence.
Shall this nation share the
fate of others or will it evolve
into a homogeneous chain of
dedicated intergers making
peace a reality and not a five
lettered word?

The Viet Nam war was perhaps one of the most talked about
problems in 1965. It will be even more controversial in the year of
1966. Many Americans are beginning to doubt their country's
strength; they are wondering if we can really win in Viet Nam.
Can we win in Viet Nam? Ralph McGill, noted publisher, re-
cently stated that Charles Weltner answered that question. Follow-
ing is McGill's report of what Congressman Weltner stated:
"Certainly, it would be a simple matter to bring about, within
24 hours, the utter devastation of all of North Viet Nam. We could
kill every able bodied fighting man there along with every little
child, every woman, every old man all within the twinkling of an
eye. We can win if winning means wiping out 16 million human
beings; and if winning includes the very real chance of direct mili-
tary engagement with Communist China; and if winning includes
the probable necessity for using nuclear weapons against Peking;
and if winning includes the possible destruction of Russia after,
of course, Russia has simultaneously destroyed 100 million American
lives.
"We have the power to win if we want to win under those
circumstances. That power has gone unexercised, to the mounting
frustration of us all, and to the increasing demand that we do some-
thing. We sincerely seek an honorable peace and, I am convinced,
are willing to go the extra mile. We will not, however, negotiate
a peace that would mean the inevitable loss of Southeast Asia to the
thalldom of China."
The price of peace has always been high. We can win this war,
but we are trying to win through the best possible means. Perhaps
we should remember the words of John F. Kennedy:
". . . the greatest danger of all would be to do nothing. The cost
of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. One
path we shall never choose is . . . the path of surrender or submis-
sion. Our goal is not the victory of might, but the vindication of
right."
The words of Mr. Kennedy and Congressman Weltner deserve
our support. Be patient; we will win.

were truckers who work for a
Michigan fleet and who were
asked to list the three most com-
mon errors made by passenger-
car drivers.
Truckers are made extremely
nervous by other drivers who
follow too closely a fault
known as "tailgating" because
nothing can be done about it.
Speeders, drunks, reckless driv-
ers can be arrested before they
cause harm. The tailgater can-
not be apprehended unless and
until his stupidity causes havoc.
Almost every driver has oc-
casionally been subjected to the
blinding glare of an oncoming
driver who refuses to dim his
lights. Equally blinding, say the
truckers, is the driver who fails
to dim when following another
car.
Failure to signal properly
ranks No. 1 on the truckers' list
of driving errors. Despite finger-
tip signal indicators, all too
many drivers fail to switch on
their signals when they should
or turn them off at the proper
time.
Other faults that make the
truckers see red include stop-
ping in a right-hand lane to
make a left turn; drivers with
children or dogs in their laps;
lack of taillights; and driving
too slowly on a high-speed high-
way. The Digest article lists a
number of additional driving
errors, as well as a twelve-point
check list for safer driving. In-
cluded among the latter are
such suggestions as these: Al-
ways fasten your seat belt snug-
ly; make sure the attendant
wipes your headlights as well as
your windshield when you stop
for gas; and never hesitate to
yield the right of way.
By following these and the
other suggestions in the article,
you can cut substantially your
own risk of accident, and also
help make the roads safer for
other drivers.
Teaehing Now
Glamorous
Profession
"Yesterday the teacher was
the respectable but shabby or-
phan of our society. Today he's
the man of the hour."
So says an article in the Feb-
ruary Reader's Digest. It points
out that teaching is now the
country's largest profession, ed-
ucation its fastest-growing in-
dustry and the demand so far
exceeding the supply that good
teachers are being recruited
with an ardor once reserved for
all-American football players.
Growing population accounts
for part of the increased need
for teachers, notes author Les-
ter Velie. But it is by no means
the whole story. New kinds of
teaching are springing up all
across the country.
One example is the "early
childhood teacher," a specialist
trained to work with preschool
children to remedy deficiencies
bred in the child's home, An-
other kind of specialist is the
guidance counselor, who tests
students' aptitudes and steers
them toward proper training
and careers. Still another is the
vocational teacher who can
train students in technical skills.
The new emphasis on teaching
has sharply boosted the prestige
and glamour of the profession.
Perhaps more to the point, it
has helped raise teacher salaries
to levels comparable to those of
industry.
To encourage young men and
women to enter the profession,
an unprecedented number of
scholarships, fellowships and
loan opportunities are available.
For example, a future teacher
can borrow up to $1000 per year
while training, then repay only
half during his first five years
of teaching. Some universities
will waive graduate-school fees
for future professors. Others
have fellowship programs that
cover tuition and living ex-
penses.
As teaching continues to grow
in prestige and financial return,
students and parents will want
to have a good, close look at the
once neglected profession that's
now become the most glamorous
corner of the professional world.
Freedom of Speech:
A Cherished
Constitutional Right
By Kenneth Brown
The Savannah State College
Chapter, NAACP, circulated a
petition which protests the de-
nial of a seat to Julian Bond.
More than 800 signatures were
collected.
When your radio is playing, it
can be turned off if you so de-
sire. The fight for freedom can
neither be turned off or even
slowed down by a knob or the
tactics of "little men," Freedom
is a natural desire of men every-
where. In order to win the bat-
tle for freedom, there must be
an unrelenting fight.
Since the Civil Rights Bill
has been signed into law, the
majority of Negro Americans
think the battle for freedom is
over. Negroes must constantly
use their new rights by using
facilities and resources that
were formerly denied them.
We are sorry to report that
there are certain forces in our
society that are trying to deny
Negroes free speech. Mr. Bond
is a living example of this state-
ment. He only gave his opinion,
regarding the difficulties that
the United States is having in
the Viet Nam war and his oppo-
sition to the war. As a result of
this act, he was denied his seat
as a representative in the Geor-
gia Assembly.

Art Exhibition
Concludes
(Reprint from Savannah
Morning News)
Phillip J- Hampton, assistant
professor of fine arts, reports
that two art exhibitions at Sa-
vannah State College were open
for public viewing on Monday
and ran through January 25.
The National Conference of
Artists Traveling Exhibition,
which is comprised of art works
by young artists as far away as
Africa and Hawaii, were shown
on the third floor of Hill Hall.
Works by Herman Woods and
Paul Johnson, two Savannah
State College students, were also
represented in the art show.
The National Conference Art-
ists Traveling Exhibition, which
was assembled under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Virginia Kiah, a
local artist, will travel to all sec-
tions of the United States and
possibly to one or two overseas
countries.
Hampton also stated that- 11
paintings by Johnson were on
display in the Seminar Room of
the college library.
The paintings by Johnson in-
clude "Town and Boundary,"
"Shadows and Us," "Prevalent
Green Essence," "Primeval Pri-
mate," "Ultramundane," "Red
Goddess," "Bowl Syndicate,"
"Vacillations," "Green Mobiliza-
tion." "Euphony in Red," and
Existentialism."

speech at the Atlanta Protest
stated that Bond had found
"war a poor chisel with which
to carve out tomorrow." "It is
ironic," he said, "to hear the
Georgia Legislature speak so
reverently about protecting the
U. S. Constitution. This same
Legislature allowed one of its
governors to say there was not
enough money in the U. S.
Treasury to enforce integration
in Georgia."
I feel that Bond has been
denied his rights, for some lead-
ing Republicans declared that
"if unpopular views are to be
arbitrarily excluded, as they
have been in the Georgia Legis-
lature, then the legislative proc-
ess, free elections, and free

I Don't Know What
He's Got, But . . ."
By Jacque
Dear Jackye,
My boyfriend and I have been
going together for almost three
weeks. I love him and I think
he feels the same way. Before
we started "pushing cookies," he
was going with a friend of mine
who had taken him from a
friend of mine who had taken
him from a friend of hers. Then
the Kidd (me) came along and
took him from her (I'm not
boasting just being frank).
I don't know what it is he's
got that attracts the opposite
sex, but it's got me! Trouble is
how do I keep it from getting
the next girl that comes along?
How can I keep him all to my-
self?
The Kidd
Dear Kidd.
Find the nearest church and
tie that knot. Find the nearest
isolated island in the South Pa-
cific, tie him up and ship him
there. Then, find the nearest
banana tree and tie him to it:
just in case what it is he's got
is contagious.
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
I'm stuck on a stud who is as
good looking as they come, but
he's as dense as a forest. You
can put all of his common sense
on the point of a pin. I mean
he's like way out. I don't know
what I'm going to do with him.
He does things like leave my
house, when he comes to call,
to get a pack of cigarettes, then
forgets where I live. He sets his
watch an hour fast so he'll never
be late for an appointment and
then he has the audacity to
show up 15 minutes late. He
took only one hour last quarter
(P.Ed.). He flunked and then
had 3 overcuts. What's a girl to
do?
"Charli"
Dear "Charli,"
Print your address in large let-
ters on the windshield of his car
or always keep a pack of cigar-
ettes on hand when he comes to
call. Set his watch an hour and
fifteen minutes fast, and hire
him a tutor. If these attempts
fail, throw up your hands in
despair. One good thing you
must admit: there's never a dull
moment.
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
My boyfriend does not like for
girls to wear make-up. I like
him a great deal and I'm anx-
ious for him to like me, too. But
I also want to look as nice as I
can. What can I do to change
his mind about make-up?
"Doll face"
Dear "Doll face",
Let him see you one morning
without it.
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
There is a fellow that I admire
very much, but he has a girl
friend who is very jealous. I feel
that he likes me, but is afraid
to let me know it. How can I get
him to let himself go?
Impatient
Dear Impatient,
They say that love is a many
splendored thing. If it's really as
good as all that, maybe you
should go after it instead of
waiting for it to come to you.
Since this fellow has a girl-
friend, it could be that he's won-
dering how to go about getting
line Ryles
you to let yourself go. If your
admiration is as strong as you
say it is, walk up to him and go
for yourself.
P.S.: Make sure his you-know-
what isn't around.
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
What would you do if two
lonely soldiers, whom you loved
equally as well, "asked you to
marry them?
Puzzled
Dear Puzzled,
I'd probably cut myself into
two equal parts and marry both
of them. What would you do?

Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority News
By Soror Margie D. Bryant
Founder's Day of the Zeta Phi
Beta Sorority was celebrated on
January 15. 1966 at Butler Pres-

Soror Ann Morris, a graduate of
the 1965 class of SSC, was also
in town for the occasion.
At the annual regional con-
ference Rho Beta Chapter re-
ceived a trophy on their scrap-

Dear Fashionwise,
What does 1966 hold in store
for you? Surely there are many
pleasant things in store for you.
You will be going many places
and making new friends. As in
1965, you will continue to look
your best. Why not take a look
at the fashion forecast for 1966?
It is interesting to take note
that many of the 1965 fashion
hits are still around in 1966.
One spot where fashion fo-
cuses this season is on impor-
tant new sleeves that swing out
like a bell, adding graceful flow
and movement to shares already
existing.
Yes, bell bottoms are still
around. Why, everybody's wear-
ing them.
Have you ever heard of a low-
down swinger? Well, the line of
the moment just happens to be
the low-down line that by-pass
the waist to light on the hip-
bone. And what goes on below
that is all swing and sway, or a
breezy swish of pleats. These
low-down swingers are most
popular in a one-piece dress
that looks like two. with its solid
low-down top and swaying check
skirt.
The two-piece dress is still a
winner. Why? Perhaps, it's be-
cause two parts are so easy to
fit even when the figure is less
perfect. And everyone seems to
want the long easy look of an
overblouse.
Coming back into fashion is
the long distinctive look of the
two-piece tunic dress. Fashion
designers have endorsed the
idea of the tunic dress being
worn by short as well as tall
women. They tend to make
short women look taller and
slimmer.
Bold bright color is the sign
for '66. Not one color alone, but
at least two or three preferably
in brash off-beat combinations
of navy and gold, red and gold
or purple and red.
What ever you do this year,
Robert Brown
By Robert Brown
Each year brings something
new and nineteen sixty-six is
not an exception. This young
year has not only brought new
fashions but it has revised some
of the older ones too. The vari-
ous attires for this winter sea-
son are off to a blazing start,
with styles so uniquely different
that they are simply marvelous.
The year's number one new
look is the "look of silk" coat
style sweater worn with a silk-
knit turtle-neck shirt. The pull-
over V-neck silk sweater is a
garment that looks good all the
time. Silk is the key word in
fabric for the nineteen sixty-six
men's fashions.
Esquire Magazine says nine-
teen sixty-six has brought the
double-breasted jacket back
after more than twenty years of
single-breasted domination. The
double-breasted coat front is
coming back in blazers, suit
jackets and outer coats. Once
the double - breasted jacket
caught on as a fashion style in
its own right, the blazer under-
went a series of changes. Since
the thirties, little has been seen
of the double-breasted blazer. A
few years ago however, a hand-
ful of very fashion conscious
men started to wear them again,
and a general revival caught on.
Double-breasteds are no longer
an uncommon sight. So fellow
SSC men let's start the year off
right. Be an informed fashion-
able dress scholar.
waste no time in trying to figure
out how you can look your best.
Just follow the fashion forecast.
Yours in fashion,

Advising System
Needs Volunteers
(ACP> A lot of red tape,
extra work, and inconvenience
could easily be eradicated with
the adoption of a voluntary ad-
vising system for upper division
students, says the Daily Calfor-
nian. University of California,
Berkeley.
Now the "advising problem"
rests in the lap of the typical
University adviser who is usually
uninformed about his advisee's
requirements and often couldn't
care less.
A voluntary program would
entail establishment of a smali,
concerned group if advisers, per-
haps graduate students, who are
as qualified to speak about
courses as most professors to
aid those students who are un-
sure about their course selec-
tions.
Such advisers, if they are
graduates, would be able to
speak much more freely about
the relative worth of the lec-
turers in his department or
school, a subject which few fac-
ulty advisers dare approach. For
in a school such as ours, it is the
professors, not the courses,
which determine whether the
student becomes educated or
does busywork.
The majority of upper division
students, however, will not likely
need such help. Most of them
have learned by this time, usu-
ally from friends who have gone
before them, which instructors
to take and which to avoid.
As for those who claim this
program would not insure that
the student is fulfilling his re-
quirements, we would reply that
something is seriously lacking in
the University's offerings if a
20-year-old junior does not have
the maturity and intelligence to
determine the requirements he
must complete, realizing that if
he chooses recklessly, he will
have to reap the consequences.
While voluntary upper divi-
sion advising appears promis-
ing, such a system would prob-
ably be ineffective for entering
students, who cannot be ex-
pected to quickly grasp all of
the University's requirements.
Whatever system is eventually
adopted, the need for reform is
apparent to even the most cas-
ual observer of the University
scene.
We hope by the time the new
quarter system is initiated next
fall, the students will find a new,
if only experimental, advising
system.

JEFFREY JAMES
James Completes
Research Studies
By Jannie Singleton
Jeffrey James, a senior chem-
istry major from Savannah,
Georgia, recently returned from
Argonne National Laboratory in
Chicago, Illinois, where he has.
been working as a student re-
search aide for the fall quarter
1965. His work was basically a
group project concerned with
"Chemical and Associated En-
ergy Problems in Reactor
Safety."
For the first two and half
months Jeffrey and associates
studied the chemical properties
of coolants used in preventing
the melt down of reactors and
the absorption of gamma radia-
tion coming out from the care
of the reactor. The latter one
and half month was centered
around analytical methods of
determining the percentage and
milligrams of cold and hot met-
als found in samples coming
from the reactor.
Jeffrey's overall accumulative
average of B, his experience in
chemical research, his integrity,
his desire for advance study and
the promise of his success in his
chosen field enabled him to se-
cure the position as student re-
search aide.
From the experiences gained
at Argonne, Jeffrey feels that
"every qualified student of sci-
ence should have the opportu-
nity to work in a laboratory sim-
ilar to Argonne because it is at
such laboratories where the ap-
plication of scientific procedures
is done with greater productiv-
ity."
Although Jeffs graduation set
for June '66 will be prolonged,

Southeastern Newspaper Competition
Sponsored By Hollins College
HOLLINS COLLEGE, Virginia
College and university news-
papers in six states competed
last winter for awards in the
second annual Southeastern
Newspaper Competition spon-
sored by Hollins College and
eight leading daily newspapers.
Eligible are college and uni-
versity newspapers in Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and
Tennessee, published between
September, 1965, and January,
1966.
Deadline for submitting con-
test entries will be February 15,
1966.
In addition to awards for the
best college or university daily,
the best non-daily, the best
newspaper published at a wo-
man's college, and for superior
news writing, feature writing,
editorial page, and regular col-
umns, a new classification will
be added to the 1965-66 compe-
tition. The Raleigh, N. C, News
and Observer will offer a trophy
for all-around excellence in a
newspaper of whatever classifi-
cation.
Newspapers judging categories
of competition and awarding
trophies to the winners are the
Charleston, S C, News and
Courier; the Charleston, W. Va.,
Gazette and Sunday Gazette-
Mail; the Columbus, Ga., Ledger-
Enquirer; the Nashville Tennes-
sean; the Raleigh, N. C, News
and Observer; the Richmond.
Va., Times-Dispatch and News
Leader; the Roanoke, Va., Times
and World-News; and the Vir-
ginian-Pilot and Ledger-Star of
Norfolk-Portsmouth, Va.
"Hollins College is pleased to
join with these outstanding
daily newspapers in the South-
east in sponsoring a college
newspaper awards competition
for the second year," President
Logan said.
"The first year's competition
was a great success, and both
the number of college newspa-
pers entering the competition
and the quality of the journal-
ism contained in those news-
papers were very impressive."
He cited the role which college
newspapers play in "stimulating
the intellectual life of a cam-
pus," and expressed the hope
that the competition will en-
courage more Southeastern col-
lege and university graduates to
enter journalism as a profession.
Winners and honorable men-
tions will be announced in early
April, and presentation of
awards will be made at an
awards banquet at Hollins Col-
lege in early May.
Trophies offered and their
1965 winners are:
The Nashville Tennessean
Award for the best college daily
newspaper in the Southeast; no
winner last year.
News and editorial staffs of
newspapers awarding trophies
will serve as judges of the com-
petitions for which the awards
will be made. Miss Frances Bray
Shinnick, of Richmond, Va., ed-
itor of the Hollins College news-
paper, will direct the event.
Say, sports fans. I guess you've
heard Stevie Wonder's new rec-
ord, "Purple Raindrops." Well,
have you heard about Savannah
State's conference record? The
Tigers are really on the ball,
having won six of their last nine
games. Coach Richardson's bas-
keteers exemplify the traits of
a well organized team. He has
never started the same five
cagers twice and has had tre-
mendous success with this sys-
tem. He starts the player that
will be most capable to handle
the opponent. The bench
strength of the team is remark-
able. On several occasions, this
is what won the game.
In the Georgia Classic which
was held at Fort Valley State
College, December 10-11, Sylves-
ter Reddick, better known as
"Boddie" came off the bench in
the second quarter and scored
12 - points, which sparked the
team to a win over Albany.
His defensive ability combined
with his scoring at the time
most needed made the officials
see fit to name him all-tourna-
ment.
In the Albany game in Albany,
Georgia, Reddick came off the
bench again to tally 21 points.
This, along with Charles Day's
12 points and Charles Rutland's
key rebounds, propelled the
mighty Tigers to win.
Another incident showing
SSC's "off the bench strength"
was exemplified when SSC
played Paine College of Augusta.
Ronald Booker came off the
bench and held Paine College's
leading scorer, who averages 33
points a game, to 16 points.
Meanwhile, Vernon Jennings
sparked the team to victory
after coming from behind 19-8.
Charles Rutland and Clark
Brooks did an excellent job of
scraping the rebounds off the
board. Rutland also tallied 19
points.
Jerome Johnson came off the
bench in the Voorhees game
while State was trailing 14
points and sparked the team to
a near victory.
The most exciting game was
Albany State vs. Savannah
State, January 22, 1966. The
score in this game was tied sev-
eral times and with 24 seconds
left in the game, Albany led 62-
60. Coach Richardson alerted his
cagers to call time out. the gym
was silent; the team tension was
extremely high. The spectators
were entangled in a brainstorm
wondering what now??
Coach Richardson knew the
answer. He immediately sent
Frank Ellis and Vernon Jennings
into the game. The clock steadily
ticking the valuable seconds 24.
20, 17, 10, 9, 8. At 7 seconds it
seemed as though it was hopeless
but sports fans, it wasn't as
hopeless as it seemed. Frank El-
lis took a jump shot that was
about 20 feet from the basket
and the net made a familiar
sound, whis-s-h. The score was
tied 62-62 and the buzzer
sounded.
The crowd was so excited and
happy that they darted across
the hardwood to hug, kiss, and
mainly to congratulate the team.
I think that some of the fans
thought the game was over and
that our team was going to set-
tle for a tie. Unfortunately for
Albany, there are no ties in bas-
ketball; there has to be a victor.
The 5 minutes overtime was Sa-
vannah State's all the way. Ver-

Well, sports fans, a new year is here. We are all looking forward
to more action in the wide world of sports, but first let's look at
the action packed sports highlights of 1965.

gro, and third-ranked tennis
player In the country, defeated
Rafael Osuna, Mexico's top
player, to lead the United States
tennis team to victory over
Mexico in the Davis Cup Compe-
tition.
The brilliant Michel Jazy of
France, who is considered to be
the finest middle-distance run-
ner of our time, broke the world
record for the mile run with a
time of three minutes fifty-
three and six-tenths of a sec-
ond (3:53.6).
The Los Angeles Dodgers won

feated Nebraska In the Orange
Bowl.
For the first time the N.F.L.
picked two quarterbacks to the
all-pro team. The players were
Johnny Unltas and John Biodie
Mike Garrett became the sec-
ond Negro in history to win the
Heisman trophy.
Arnold Palmer became golf's
all-time money winner.
Zoilo Versalles was selected
the American League's most val-
uable player.
SSC's Coach Richard Wash-
ington was named track coach
of the year in the Southeastern
Athletic Conference.
Coach Leo Richardson became
the president of Southeastern
Athletic Conference. This is a
first in SSC's history.
Georgia's capital city, Atlanta,
acquires a professional football
and baseball team for the '66
season.
The West was no match for
the East in the professional bas-
ketball and football games.
With a few sport highlights
tucked away in our minds, we
bid farewell to '65, and hope for
a better year of sports in '66.

Phys. Edueation
Club Organized
By Clemontine Freeman
Because of the stress being
placed on physical activities for
children and adults, the physi-
cal education majors felt that
they could be of service to the
profession and organized as a
group.
The club will meet bi-monthly
to participate in all kinds of
planned activities and to con-
duct discussions concerning the
profession.
The following officers were
elected: President, Robert Bell;
Vice-President, Frank Ellis'. Sec-
retary Clemontine Freeman;
and Reporter, Horace Graham.
The club is advised by Mrs.
Ella W. Fisher, Assistant Profes-
sor of Physical Education.
Physical Fitness
Is Important
Physical fitness is for every-
body . . . and not just for these
varsity athletes on the field here
today. Because all our young
people will have to make the
grade physically, as well as men-
tally, in the future they will live
and work in. This future belongs
to the fit. Are your schools pro-
viding the fitness training your
children need to carve out their
share of the future? The Presi-
dent's Council on Physical Fit-
ness can help you judge. Write:
Fitness, Washington. D. C, for
information. That's Fitness,

For fun and profit, make this
a Giii Scout summer! No matter
what part of the country you
call 'home," there is a job for
you at a Girl Scout camp.
This year, a staff of 18,000 will
be required for the 700 Girl
Scout camps in every part of
the country. Operated by more
than 500 Girl Scout councils, the
camps give many thousands of
girls, from seven through 17, a
chance to live, work and play
with girls of different back-
grounds in the relaxed, informal
atmosphere of the out-of-doors.
Among the basic requirements
for counselors are love of chil-
dren, sympathy with the objec-
tives and philosophy of Girl
Scouting, good health, enthusi-
asm, patience and adaptability.
Previous Girl Scout or other
camping experience is helpful,
but not essential.
Salaries vary with the assign-
ment and with the candidate's
experience, qualifications, and
training.
Administrative jobs require
specialized experience. Appli-
cants must be at least 25 years
of age for Camp Director's jobs,
which require camping, admin-
istrative, and supervisory exper-
ience, plus familiarity with the
Girl Scout program. Twenty-five
is the minimum age for the jobs
of Assistant Camp Director; 21
for Health Supervisor, a regis-
tered nurse with first-aid train-
ing; Food Supervisor, training in
institutional management; and
Waterfront Director, holding a
current water-safety certificate.

tions, for women at least 18, of-
fer opportunities to work with
girls in a wide variety of special
interests and activities such as
songs and games; dramatics;
arts and crafts; nature and
camping.
Eighteen is the minimum
age for the thousands of coun-
selors needed to live and work
with the girls in their units.
Women interested in jobs
near home should call their
nearby Girl Scout council or

SSC Presents
Organ Recital
The latest event in the cur-
rent Lyceum Series at Savannah
State College took place Tues-
day night, January 11, when the
Committee on Campus Cultural
Activities presented Mr. Bene
Hammel in an organ recital at
8:15 in Meldrim Auditorium on
the college campus. According
to Dr. Coleridge A. Braithwaite.
Chairman of the Committee and
also Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Fine Arts, the recital
was opened to the public with-
out charge and everyone was
cordially invited to attend.
Mr. Hammel is a native of
Chattanooga. Tennessee, and his
ability as an organist was rec-
ognized early by the Chatta-
nooga Chapter of the American
Guild of Organists under whose
sponsorship he presented many
recitals in several states. He has
played in several schools and
colleges throughout the nation,
and his recitals in New York and
Washington have attracted fine
comments from music critics.
The organist holds a Bachelor of
Music degree from the Univer-
sity of Chattanooga, and he has
written many works for choruses
and for the organ. At the pres-
ent time he is serving as staff
organist and musical consultant
for the Institutional and Church
Organ Division of the Baldwin
Piano and Organ Company of
Cincinnati, Ohio.
The program on Tuesday night
included several organ composi-
tions from the literature of
Bach, Handel, Purceell, Arne,
and other famous composers.
The second half of the program
was devoted to music of the 19th
century and the present day.
Strauss and Liszt was heard,
and the recital closed with se-
lections from "My Fair Lady"
and Bernstein's "West Side
Story."
Camilla Hubert Hall
Establishes Committees
The dormitory council of Ca-
milla Hubert Hall is striving to
make the living conditions more
comfortable and enjoyable for
its residents.
The Camilla Hall residents
have established several com-
mittees to carry out designated
tasks. These committees include
the Social, the Cultural, the
Scholarship, the Religious and
several other committees.
The social committee is de-
signed to plan and carry out so-
cial activities each quarter to
entertain the residents. The
Chairman, Miss Miriam Thomas,
says that there is a valentine
party scheduled for this quarter.
Miss Azoloy Howard is Chair-
man of the cultural committee,
whose function it is to present
a cultural program each quarter.
This committee has some very
interesting projects in mind for
the next two quarters.
It is the duty of the scholar-
ship committee, headed by Shir-
ley McDuffey. to post on the
bulletin board the name of all
the girls who make the Dean's
List or Honor Roll. This group
has done much to stimulate the
girls toward academic excellence.
Miss Janie Harmon and the
girls on the concession commit-
tee are on the job selling hot
dogs and other concessions to
earn money for the big, big
event of the season, the Cotton
Ball, which will be held during
the spring quarter. This is the
event that all C.H.H. girls are
looking forward to with great
anticipation.
The other committees not
mentioned are very active and
are to be commended for their
work.
Our dormitory is proud to have
received a washer-dryer combi-
nation while we were away for
the holidays. I am confident
that Santa granted us our
wishes.
Camilla Hubert Hall chal-
lenges each of you to make this
year more prosperous and re-
warding than the previous one.

ticles were delivered on Christ-
mas Eve, and the families ac-
cepted them with sincere grati-
tude. We, the Brother of Delta
Eta. wish to express our deepest
appreciation for all who con-
tributed and helped make this
project a success.

Rutland also off the bench made
two baskets In succession which
sewed the game up. Meanwhile
Albany added 4 points but the
fact that the time was almost

EMERGENCY COMMITTEE
(ACP) Ohio Wesleyan Uni-
versity's new emergency com-
mittee, established by Circle K,
service organization, to provide
quick assistance to the Dela-
ware. Ohio, area in times of dis-
aster, Is a worthwhile project
deserving of student attention,
says the Transcript.
Last year students joined the
Delaware Civil Defense and res-
cue squads to help victims of a
tornado. The help was both
needed and appreciated.
And though tornados do not
make frequent appearances In
the area, other natural disasters
are possible for instance, the
periodic flooding of the Olen-
tangy River.
The new committee has met
with enthusiasm both on and
off campus. The local Red Cross
and Civil Defense officials have
sanctioned the committee, and
University President Elden T.
Smith has given committee
leaders permission to take stu-
dents from the classroom in
emergencies. He also named
WSLN as a vehicle for transmit-
ting bulletins concerning emer-
gency measures.
About 60 students have joined
so far. Some have probably
looked at It as an easy way to
win points for the ATO Service
Trophy. We would hope, how-
ever, that In a more conscien-
tious spirit, students will view It
as a way to help the community.

CAMPUS
FASHIONS
ByCHIPTOLBERT
ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR
SWINGING NORTH, Richard Gentry. Jr.. University of Michigan,
tells us that for north -co nn try winters the rugged toggle coats are
serviceable and popular. Above the knee lengths are what every-
one's wearing. Here, the accent falls heavily on the informal touch :
V-neck sweaters in solid colors; button-downs, both plain and
striped; tapered corduroys and wheat jeans; and a solid serving
of loafers and chukka boots. For fraternity parties and other social
events, plaid sport jackets are beginning to make the scene. Her-
ringbone and heather sport jackets lead the field, but big patterns
are beginning to make some headway. In neckwear, there's a trio
of popular entries: stripes, club figures and paisleys. Semiformal
slacks are usually tapered flannel, and loafers or wing-tip shoes go
best with the sport jacket and slacks.
THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH, according to
Michael Mains, University of Arizona '65,
there's a brisk traffic in lightweight conserva-
tive suits with the dash of color supplied largely
in neckwear. Striped ties predominate, but
foulards are moving in again. Everybody wears
button-downs, and the three-piece suit is in-
frequently seen on campus. In the mornings,
when there's apt to be a chill in the air, a
sweater worn with a button-down sport shirt
and wheat jeans is sufficiently warm and in-
formal enough for class. Heather-toned sweaters
hold the edge, and corduroy jeans or wash-and-
wear khakis complete the casual scene. In foot-
wear, a wing tip properly .complements a suit,
while saddle shoes or loafers are a standard part
of the informal picture.
ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD, the big thing,
according to John Lamb. Jr. of Princeton, is
boots. Everybody seems to be wearing them
with informal clothing especially during the
winter months, for they obviate the need for
rubbers or galoshes. Ski jackets are now stan-
dard apparel as are heather crew-neck sweaters. Subdued, dark
colors rule the sport jacket scene. Worn with them are colored or
striped button-downs and repp ties. Moving over to the casual side
of the wardrobe, dark-colored flannel slacks give way to severely
tapered trousers. For dress up occasions, smooth leather loafers or
wing tips; for casualwear, brushed leather loafers or chukka boots.
NEXT MONTH the Old Order passes to make way for the New
ESQUIRE'S recently-elected 19G6 College Advisory Board will be
preparing to head for New York to help us authenticate the newest
campus fashion trends and innovations. See you then.

THE TIGER'S ROAR
NAACP Sponsors
Voter Registration
Drive
By Kenneth Brown
In every election held in Sa-
vannah and Chatham County in
recent years, the members of the
College Chapter of the NAACP
have participated. The members
of the college chapter will con-
duct an intensive voter regis-
tration campaign. The purpose
of the drive is to encourage Ne-
gro citizens to register and vote.
The members of the College
Chapter will visit each residence,
urging Negroes to register so
that they may vote for the can-
didate that will do the Negro
community the most good. For
the most part, this effort by the
College Chapter has been very
effective in past elections.
Since the passage of the 1965
Voting Rights Bill, it is very easy
for people to qualify to vote by
registering. The new law struck
down literacy tests. Even if a
person is unable to sign his
name, it is possible for him to
register by making a simple X.
Therefore, all Negro citizens who
have never been convicted of a
felony are eligible to register.
Voting is one of the most im-
portant weapons for the Negroes
to use in their battle for free-
dom. All citizens should realize
that one vote can make quite a
bit of difference. Do not feel
that your vote is not important.
It may very well be that your
one vote will be the deciding
factor in the election.
The SSC Chapter of the
NAACP urges all organizations
and student groups to join in
this civic effort. If you want to
put your knowledge of Govern-
ment into practical use, join in
the effort to register Negro cit-
izens.

Library Presents
Saint-Simon
Exhibition
The Savannah State College
Library is presenting a photo-
graphic exhibition on Saint-Si-
mon, the French philosopher
and social reformer. This his-
toric exhibition is on loan to the
college library from the Cultural
Division of the French Embassy.
Saint Simon is known to mod-
ern scholars through his disci-
ples, who have developed a sys-
tem called Saint-Simonianism.
The Saint-Simonians advocated
social equality, increased atten-
tion to education, the abolition
of hereditary rights and also fos-
tered disarmament.
A few of the photographs on
exhibition include: Chateau of
La Ferte-Vldame, Battle of
Neerwinde in Brabant, France
Victorious by Sea and On Land
Under the Orders of Louis the
Great, Portrait of Marie-Gabri-
elle de Lorge, Chateau of Ver-
sailles, The Grand Dauphin, Ma-
rie-Adelaide of Savoie, and Phil-
ippe V, King of Spain.
The public is invited to view
the exhibition.

The Futurists: Looking Toward A. D. 2000
Reprinted from Time. The Weekly News Magazine
The U. S. has always been a country in love with the future. Americans have never quite shared
the traditional notion that praying into tomorrow is suspect if not downright dangerous the sort of
feeling that made Dante consign soothsayers to the fourth chasm of the Inferno. On the contrary, the
U. S. readily accepted the fact
that modern science established
progress as a faith and the fu-
ture as an earthly Eden. Yet
recently, the American passion
for the future has taken a new
turn Leaving Utopians and
science-fiction writers far be-
hind, a growing number of pro-
fessionals have made prophecy
a serious and highly organized
enterprise.
They were forced into It by
the fact that technology has ad-
vanced more rapidly in the past
50 years than in the previous
5.000. Men in business, govern-
ment, education and science it-
self realize that they must look
at least two decades ahead just
to keep abreast, must learn to
survive under totally different
conditions. The new futurists, as
they sometimes call themselves,
are well aware of past failures of
vision. Soon after World War II,
top U. S. scientists dismissed and
derided the notion of an accu-
rate Intercontinental ballistic
missile, and as late as 1956, Brit-
ain's Astronomer Royal called
the prospect of space travel "ut-
ter bilge." Relying on the atom's
almost limitless energy, the com-
puter's almost limitless "intel-
lect," the futurists predict an
era of almost limitless change.
With remarkable confidence,
and In considerable detail, they
present a view of man not only
in total control of his environ-
ment but of his own brain and
his own evolution.
New Skill & Time
The exploration of the future
has become a sizable business.
General Electric has set up
Tempo (Technical Management
Planning Organization) in Santa
Barbara, where 200 physical sci-
entists, sociologists, economists
and engineers contemplate the
future on a budget that tops
$7,000,000 a year. The armed
forces have long been in the fu-
ture business. The Air Force, at
Wright-Patterson A.P.B., con-
ducts studies of the whole prob-
lem of scientific prediction, also
contributes $15 million a year to
Santa Monica's Rand Corp. to
think and not necessarily
about weapons systems. The
nonprofit Hudson Institute In-
vestigates the possibilities of war
and peace along with tjie future
in general. At the University of
Illinois, Dr. Charles Osgood is
conducting a "computerized ex-
ploration of the year 2000," and
the Southern Illinois University
is providing money and facilities
for Buckminster Fuller's World
Resources Inventory- The Amer-
ican Academy of Arts and Sci-
ences helps to support the Com-
mission on the Year 2000, headed
by Columbia Sociologist Daniel
Bell. The Ford Foundation has
allocated $1,400,000 this year to
a group called Resources for the
Future, also supports a Paris-
based organization, headed by
Veteran Futurist Bertrand de
Jouvenel, whose studies are
known as "Les Futuribles."
Forecasting is an art that still
has few textbooks. Its basic tool
is extrapolation from yesterday
and today. As John McHale. ex-
ecutive director of World Re-
sources Inventory, puts it: "The
future of the future is in the
present." Some other methods
seem fairly arcane. Defense Ex-
pert Herman Kahn. for instance,
uses "scenario writing," in which
various alternative future situa-
tions are dramatized. Some fore-
casters use computers to produce
a symbolic "model" of particular
social or economic structures
including whole industries or na-
tionsand then simulate the
interaction of variables. Rand
uses the "Delphi" method, in
which a wide range of experts
are queried and re-queried for
their forecasts, arriving finally
at a near-consensus. Prognos-
ticators concede that the timing
and nature of pure inventions or
basic breakthroughs such as
the achievement of atomic fis-
sion are not predictable. In
many cases, they must still rely
on "imaginings."
In the recent flood of fore-
casts, what are the futurists
saying? By no means are all
their predictions new. but taken
together, they present a remark-
able vision. Most convenient
benchmark for that vision is the
year 2000. a rounded and ro-
mantic date that is nearer than
is generally realized only 34
years away, it is nearly as close
as the election of Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
People & Weather
By AD. 2000. the U. S. popu-
lation will have risen to about
330 million, and nine out of ten
Americans will be living in su-
percities or their suburbs. But
cities, like industry, will tend to
decentralize; with instant com-
munications, it will no longer be
necessary for business enter-
prises to cluster together. Fu-
turist Marshall McLuhan even
foresees the possibility that
many people will stay at home,
doing their work via country-
wide telecommunication.
Dylan Interview Featured In March Playboy
The March Issue of Playboy features an interview with Bob Dylan, top recording star, poet and
favorite on the nation's college campuses. Following are highlights from this interview:
On protest songs:
"I've stopped composing and
singing anything that has either
a reason to be written or a mo-
tive to be sung. Don't get me
wrong, now. 'Protest' is not my
word. I've never thought of my-
self as such. The word 'protest.'
I think, was made up for peo-
ple undergoing surgery. It's an
amusement-park word. A nor-
mal person in his righteous mind
would have to have the hiccups
to pronounce It honestly. The
word 'message' strikes me as
having a hernialike sound. It's
just like the word 'delicious.'
Also the word 'marvelous.' You
know, the English can say 'mar-
velous' pretty good. They can't
say 'raunchy' so good, though.
Well, we each have our thing.
Anyway, message songs, every-
body knows, are a drag. It's only
college newspaper editors and
single girls under 14 that could
possibly have time for them.
"Anybody that's got a message
is going to learn from experience
that they can't put it into a
song. I mean it's just not going
to come out the same message.
After one or two of these un-
successful attempts, one realizes
that his resultant message,
which is not even the same mes-
sage he thought up and began
with, he's now got to stick by it;
because, after all, a song leaves
your mouth just as soon as it
leaves your hands. You've got
to respect other people's right to
also have a message themselves.
Myself, what I'm going to do is
rent Town Hall and put about 30
Western Union boys on the bill.
I mean, then there'll really be
some messages. People will be
able to come and hear more
messages than they've ever
heard before in their life."
On his responsibility to his au-
dience: "I don't feel I have any
responsibility, no. Whoever it is
that listens to my songs owes
me nothing. How could I possi-
bly have any responsibility to
any kind of thousands? What
could possibly make me think
that I owe anybody anything
who just happens to be there?
I've never written any song that
begins with the words 'I've gath-
ered you here tonight . . .' I'm
not about to tell anybody to be
a good boy or a good girl and
they'll go to heaven. I really
don't know what the people who
are on the receiving end of these
songs think of me. anyway. It's
horrible. I'll bet Tony Bennett
doesn't have to go through this
kind of thing. I wonder what
Billy the Kid would have an-
swered to such a question."
Is it pointless to dedicate one-
self to the cause of peace and
racial equality?: "Not pointless
to dedicate yourself to peace and
racial equality, but rather, it's
pointless to dedicate yourself to
the cause: that's really pointless
That's very unknowing. To say
'cause of peace' is just like say-
ing "hunk of butter.' I mean, how
can you listen to anybody who
wants you to believe he's dedi-
cated to the hunk and not to the
butter? People who can't con-
ceive of how others hurt, they're
trying to change the world.
They're all afraid to admit that
they don't really know each
other. They'll all probably be
here long after we've gone, and
we'll give birth to new ones. But
they themselves I don't think
they'll give birth to anything."
On the burning of draft cards

Editor's Desk...

and Joan Baez' refusal to pay
her income tax both protests
against war: "Burning draft
cards isn't going to end any war.
It's not even going to save any
lives. If someone can feel more
honest with himself by burning
his draft card, then that's great;
but if he's just going to feel more
important because he does it,
then that's a drag. I really don't
know too much about Joan Baez
and her income-tax problems.
The only thing I can tell you
about Joan Baez is that she's not
Belie Starr."
On folk music: "Folk music is
a bunch of fat people. I have to
think of all this as traditional
music. Traditional music is
based on hexagrams. It comes
about from legends, Bibles,
plagues, and it revolves around
vegetables and death. There's
nobody that's going to kill tradi-
tional music. All these songs
about roses growing out of peo-
ple's brains and lovers who are
really geese and swans that turn
into angels they're not going to
die. It's all those paranoid peo-
ple who think that someone's
going to come and take away
their toilet paper they're going
to die. Songs like Which Side
Are You On? and I Love You,
Porgy they're not folk-music
songs; they're political songs.
They're already dead."
On the far-out hair styles of
some of today's male singers:
"The thing that most people
don't realize is that it's warmer
to have long hair. Everybody
wants to be warm. People with
short hair freeze easily. Then
they try to hide their coldness,
and they get jealous of every-
body that's warm. Then they
If Savannah State College's student body was asked to make
a list of things which their Alma Mater needs, one guess that they
would mention several hundred things. One wonders, however, would
the student body think of the fact that they are more fortunate than
many students of several other small colleges.
A letter from Bernard Rapoport, Trustee, Paul Quinn College,
stirred me to think how fortunate SSC's student body is. Mr. Rapo-
port's letter states in essence;
Paul Quinn College is a Negro church college here in Waco.
(It Is integrated formally, but "Whites" have not come.) We
have been able to build a new library that will hold 50.000
books; we only have 14,000 books to go in it. Most of the shelves
therefore are bare.
The students here are good kids they are having to struggle
up from preparatory schooling that, in many cases, was not
rigorous enough. The trustees of the college want to start a
drive to get good books and textbooks into our library, and they
have designated me to find ways to get these books.
It occurred to us, during a recent board meeting, that many
of the college students use their books and then don't want to
keep some of them, but really can't get what they're worth in
selling them back to the book stores, and that perhaps many of
these students would like the idea of giving such books to the
library at Paul Quinn. Perhaps also, in some cases, college book-
stores in your State would find it feasible to ship spare quan-
tities of good, current, college-level books to the library here
rather than returning them somewhere to be abandoned.
This is as far as our thinking has gone on this. I am writing
to ask if you, your paper, or a group at your school might want
to take the pass and make a run with it. All I am really sure
of is, that the students who come to the library at Paul Quinn
ought to be able to choose from among shelves that are full of
good books.
We know you will seriously consider this appeal for books
for the students' use at Paul Quinn. Books may be shipped
EXPRESS-COLLECT to: Mrs. Delores Harris. Librarian. Paul
Quinn College, Waco, Texas 76704.
Mr. Rapoport's letter should stir all who are concerned to think.
Savannah State College has a long way to go. but surely it is not at
the bottom of the scale.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Any books shipped to Paul Quinn College by
any member of the college family would be highly appreciated,)
General Sarnoff Predicts Worldwide
Direct TV Broadcasting Via Satellite
Mankind is on the brink of a Communications Revolution that
will change life as profoundly as did the Industrial Revolution of the
19th century. So predicts Brig. Gen. David Sarnoff, Chairman of the
Board, Radio Corporation of America, in a March Reader's Digest
article, "TV Revolution Ahead!'
"In the next five to ten years,"
he writes, "high-power satellites
hovering above the equator will
broadcast television directly to
set-owners anywhere in the
world, without the rebroadcast
at the receiving end required to-
day.
"Long before the year 2000.
man will be able to communi-
cate instantaneously in sound
and sight, in written message
and in exchanged computer in-
formation with anyone any-
where . . . Students in any part
of the world will be able to 'at-
tend classes' by closed-circuit TV
at Oxford or Harvard, the Sor-
bonne or Moscow University."
It may not be an unmixed
blessing.
"When a Soviet satellite can
telecast directly to a Kansas
farm or a U. S. satellite directly
to a Hungarian collective farm."
asks General Sarnoff, "who will
keep this form of communica-
tion from turning into a deadly
weapon, an instrument for mas-
sive subversion and the incite-
ment of conflict?
"The appeal of television from
far-off sources, ultimately in full
color, will be almost irresistible.
Propaganda, subtle or crude, will
come excitingly packaged as en-
tertainment, culture, education.
become either barbers or Con-
gressmen. A lot of prison war-
dens have short hair. Have you
ever noticed that Abraham Lin-
coln's hair was much longer
than John Wilkes Booth's?"
Thus, a potential for mutual un-
derstanding and sharing of
knowledge may boomerang in
deepened tensions and hatreds."
He believes steps should be
taken in the next five years to
avoid this.
"Within 25 years," predicts
General Sarnoff, "we will see
nationwide or worldwide infor-
mation processing utilities
analogous to power, water and
other utilities. Chains of inter-
linked computers will serve hun-
dreds of thousands of subscrib-
ers .. .
"You will be able to converse
In sound and sight with people
anywhere in the world You will
probably have your own personal
code number for making and re-
ceiving televised phone calls, for
obtaining information, credit
data and so on."
A new biography of the radio,
television and aerospace com-
munications pioneer, "David
Sarnoff" by Eugene Lyons, a
Reader's Digest Senior Editor,
was published by Harper &
Row on Feb. 28, the day after
General Sarnoff's 75th birthday.
Pro and con groups of college
students picketed the Federal
Building in St. Louis. The dis-
heveled, beatnik types carried
signs reading: "Stop U. S. Ag-
gression in Vietnam." The other
line of marchers held placards
supporting our government's
policy, with one sign simply say-
ing: "It's Fun to Bathe." Con-

When an impromptu exam
was sprung by our English pro-
fessor, one of my classmates
wrote a note on his paper ex-
plaining that, rather than bluff,
he would like to confess that he
had ot read the assignment.
When the exams were returned,
my friend noted that over the
large red P on his paper was a
carefully drawn halo! Contrib-
uted by Robert Cook.
After working his way through
college and graduate school, a
young scholar obtained a teach-
ing position in a small New Eng-
land college. To help him repay
government educational loans,
his wife, an accomplished cook,
worked in a bakery as a pastry
chef from 4 a.m. until noon each
day.
At the midyear faculty party,
some of the professors' wives
were discussing their extracur-
ricular activities. One confessed
that she wrote poetry, another
was active in community organi-
zations, still another was taking
a Red Cross first-aid course.
"And what do you do. my dear?"
the wife of the college president
asked the young professor's
wife.
Hesitating for only a moment,
she replied, "I spend a great deal
of time making flour arrange-
ments." Contributed by John R.

"Be The Best
Of Whatever
You Ain't"
By Jacqueline Ryles
Dear Jackye,
I'm a type of person that is
very patient and very easy to
please when it comes to my
choice of guys. I'm in love with
a sophomore and he passes all
of my qualifications.
My problem is that he seems
to be tight with another girl and
yet we are attempting to go to-
gether. Do you think I should
play as second string to his fid-
dle or first string considering
that the other girl involved will
not be hurt.
Three String Fiddle
Dear Three String,
You've heard the poem "Be
the Best of Whatever You Are."
". . . If you can't be a tree,
Be a bush.
If you can't be a bush
Be a blade of grass . . ."
But when it comes down to boys
another very talented poet just
wrote :
"Why settle for second
When you can be first?
If he has another.
What could be worse?
If you can be a mountain
Why settle for a hill?
If you can have John
Why mess with Bill?"
Get the message?
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
Being a freshman. I find it
difficult to keep a boy friend.
You see Jackye I'm desperately
in love with a sophomore and he
likes me, but there is someone
else in the scene. She makes it
difficult for this '"iboy to even
walk with me. Tell me, should I
cast a spell over him?
J D. F
Dear J. D F.,
Go right ahead. Knock your-
self out. But write me back and
let me know how you did it. I
might want to try it myself
sometimes.
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
I recently became engaged to
a fellow whom I love very much.
I am "almost" positive that he
loves me. The problem is that he
is a little jealous. He doesn't
seem to trust me at all, even
though he knows that my policy
is "anti-cheating." How can I
make him understand that I am
his, alone, forever?
Madly In Love
Dear Madly,
That little green-eyed monster
called "jealousy" isn't as bad as
he claims he is. If your fiancee
didn't care a great deal for you,
there wouldn't be any reason for
him to be jealous. So you see,
it's when that jealousy disap-
pears that you'll have a problem
certainly not now.
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
I'm deeply concerned about
one of our best friends. Each
time this guy goes on a trip ithe
guy is her boyfriend) she has
the audacity to want to mope
around on the week-end because
he's gone. We ask her to go off
campus to a movie or maybe
some activity on campus and the
reply is, "I don't feel well." What
should we do in order for her to
get out of this unnecessary ac-
tion?
Concerned
Dear Concerned.
If your friend wants to stay in
when her fellow's away, let her.
If it's as bad as all that, she'd
probably just as soon "mope"
off campus as she would on
campus. Let the kid alone, she'll
survive. (I hope so anyway).
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
During my years at State some
girls have deemed me a playboy.
I admit that at times I do talk
to more than one girl but I con-
sider it no more than friendship.
Sometimes my steady girl jumps
to conclusions about these con-
versations. I always tell her that
there's nothing to it. This very
seldom works. Sometimes I think
I should excommunicate myself
from all these problems and try
starting over again after a few
months rest. What do you rec-
ommend that I do?
Michael the Lover
Dear Michael,
For all of our sakes, please
don't excommunicate yourself.
We'll miss you around here.
What would I recommend? I'm
glad you asked my friend. STOP
TALKING TO SO MANY GIRLS!
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
I'm madly in love with two
fellows and both are madly in
love with me. HELP!
Mixed up
Dear Mixed-up,
You don't have a problem,
you've got a good thing going.
Kick it on out.

Serving a quarter of a century,
Dean Lester rendered distin-
guished and devoted service to
Savannah State College.
C. G. Wiley, for whom the
Willcox-Wiley Physical Educa-
tion Complex was named, was a
former president of Savannah
State College. During his presi-
dency the first regular session
of summer school was conducted
between June 26, and August 4,
1922.
The Technical Sciences Build-
ing is named for the late Presi-
dent Benjamin E. Hubert. Dr.
Hubert was a native of Georgia,
and died in 1958. He served as
President of the institution from

New Graduation
Requirements
<ACP) University of Minne-
sota liberal arts students will be
required to take six rather than
three quarters of a foreign lang-
uage but will not longer have to
declare a minor as the result of
curriculum changes announced
last week, reports the Minnesota
Daily.
These and other changes,
which were considered for five
years, were designed to give stu-
dents a "broad background" and
still keep requirements "as flex-
ible as possible." according to
Norman Kerr, curriculum com-
mittee chairman.
Under the new College of Lib-
eral Arts (CLA.t changes, CLA
students must complete 25 cred-
its of a foreign language, instead
of the currently required 15. or
pass a validation exam at that
level of language comprehen-
sion.
A student entering with two
years of high school Latin may
take 15 credits of another lan-
guage or continue in Latin.
Otherwise, students will not be
permitted to split the credit
requirement between two lan-
guages.
Instead of the 15-credit minor,
students will be required to take
30 Upper Division credits in de-
partments outside their major
fields.
The minimum number of cred-
its to be taken in Upper Division
was raised from 57 to 75 credits
and the grade point average re-
quired for the major field was
raised from 2.0 to 2 2.
In addition, liberal arts stu-
dents will be required to divide
their freshman and sophomore
courses into four new categories.
Correct Spelling
There is much concern these
days about bad spelling by the
younger generation. For in-
stance, a certain college senior
may well be a most bewildered
young man. Finding that he had
left his dungarees at home, he
wrote: "Dear Mother. Please
send me my genes."
She replied: "Dear Son. If you
don't have them by now, there is
nothing I can do about it."

The Classroom Building is
being named for Dr. William K.
Payne. Dr. Payne, who was a
native of Alabama, spent more
than a quarter of a century on
the faculty of Savannah State
College. He was head of the De-
partment of Education and Dean
of the Faculty from 1940 to 1949.
and President of the College
from 1949 to the time of his
death in July. 1963. Under Dr.
Payne's leadership, the institu-
tion was accredited by the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools.
Course Critique
(ACP) It's that time of the
semester again, when every pro-
fessor is looked on by his charges
as a smirking, inhumane wretch
who dedicates his entire spirit
for the next few weeks to the
relentless torture and methodi-
cal destruction of the student's
will to live, says the Battalion.
Texas A & M.
But even as we prepare to gird
ourselves for the miserable days
of exams that come twice a year,
there is a ray of hope for us
coming from the state of Wash-
ington.
The University of Washington
student body must have decided
it was tired of being trodden
upon by professors so students
devised a clever means of retali-
ation a mammoth book which
literally tears the guts from the
faculty.
The book is called Course Cri-
tique, and as the title implies, it
systematically reviews the best
and worst of the University's
course offerings. It is lavish in
its praise and merciless in its
contempt for what students feel
to be inferior offerings.
But the Critique goes farther
than offering opinions on
courses. It also includes a sec-
tion rating faculty members.
Professors are rated from A to
E, the latter signifying a de-
plorable ranking. The book pulls
no punches; names are printed
and more than one prof has
been the object of caustic com-
mentary.
All 25,000 students were al-
lowed to participate through
questionnaires. The results were
screened and analyzed by a se-
lect group of doctoral level indi-
viduals and the findings were
published in book form a year
ago. Needless to say, the book is
a roaring success.
Harvard has published a Con-
fidential Guide compiled by the
editors of the student newspaper
which details both the best and
worst of its academic offerings.
Other campuses in the North.
though only a handful, have
shown interest in similar proj-
ects through which students can
express sincere opinions on the
quality of the courses they are
taking and the men who teach
them.
Such an ambitious venture
would cause a more than mild
reaction among the faculty on
this campus and on any campus,
and understandably so. Nobody
likes to be panned by an un-
equal.

FASHIONS
By CHIP TOLBERT
ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR
THE MODS OF LONDON have been responsible for nurturing
some <.f the most radical nnd exciting fashion ideas in recent
memory. At the outset, however, let's make it clear that virtually
nmie of these fashions are presently being worn on American
campuses. Yet in fashion as in everything else, from extremes
emerge the means, and there's no doubl that modified versions of
many of these innovations will catch on and be counted among the
best college market sellers in the near future. In any case, we
thought you'd be interested in hearing about what's happening
right now on the London fashion scone, as well as what's being
done in Mod fashions in America.
"SEE YOU IN CARNABY is the in-phrase among London's way-
out swingers these days. Almost overnight, Oarnaby Street, located
in London's fashionable West End, has become the center and the
source of what the Mods refer to as their "instant fashions." It's
an amusing paradox that Carnaby is located a mere 200 yards from
Savile Row, long recognized as headquarters for London's most
distinguished and conservative tailoring establishments. Who
shops Carnaby ? Only the Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, The
Animals, four young men named John, George, Paul and Ringo,
and a fifth wl sed to be known around town as Anthony Arm-
strong- J ones, And what do they, and thousands of their fans and
followers, buy there'.' Some pretty surprising fashions . . .
THE MOD TUXEDO, for n start, offers plenty
uf surprises. Cut light and skinny, it features
a ."* or 4-button jacket, high, narrow lapels, very
deep side vents, satin belt loops, cuffs, and a
wide satin belt. The trousers are tapered in
extremis, and the outfit may be worn with black
demi-boots. Accessories are radical, if not out-
rageous: frills on the cuffs and front of the
shirt, plus a very wide bow tie
THE MOO MODE,
dl apparel areas, is char-
Lines

are colo
.u tii i 'il by certain definite trends. The ward-
robe is form-fitted, and anything smacking of
standardized fashions is "automatically out."
The plumage on the male bird is getting
brighter nnd snappier, and there's no doubt that
it's getting harder all the time to tell the boys
apart from the girls. Prices are comparatively
high: slacks run anywhere from ?15. to $25.
e fluid, and we frequently find strong surface interest in a
iety of textured fabrics. In slacks, the low-rise, hip-hugging
in. Belts run as wide as three inches, and many of them
rfully striped.
MUUIoM MOVES ON: here are some more "musts" in the fashion-
conscious Mod's wardrobe. A camel suede overshirt with seamed
pockets and shoulders, usually worn with slacks tapered to the knee,
then flared out to bell bottom cuffs. A pair of giant black-and-white
houndstooth check trousers, worn as low as possible. Ticking-
striped low-rise jeans worn with a matching snap-front jacket
A rugged blue denim shirt with a high-rise collar and cuffs of white
broadcloth. A fancy soft leather vest. The Mod Suit which doubles
as a sports ensemble merely by unbuttoning the suit collar and re-
placing it with a dark collar. And maybe even a black vinyl, double-
breasted jacket with slanting side pockets and patch breast pocket.
SHIRTING THE MOD usually involves wild
prints and even wilder color ideas. Take, for
example, the black daisy shirt, a lightweight
cotton print that also comes in red, purple the
whole spectrum, in fact on a white back-
ground. The reverse-print tie is sold along with
the shirt; collars are high-rise, and both cuffs
and collars are white. Way out? On my recent
trip to London, I was assured that it's one of
the current best-sellers! And it's now being sold
in a few shops across America.
MOD-ORIENTED SWEATERS . ra 6 the first fashions to be
adopted in this country. Bulky-knit mohairs are popular. Vivid
stripes on the sleeves are sometimes repeated on the extra high
turtlenecks. The scarf sweater incorporates school colors in an
attached panel that wraps around the neck and hangs down in front
and back. In any case, the Mod idea is catching on fast. Retailers
from Minneapolis to Manhattan are clamoring for Mod fashions.
Peacoats. white bell bottoms, the wider use of suede and corduroy :
all these recent innovations can be partially attributed to London's
Mods, Who can say what will come next? The wider paisley and
polka dot ties are already fashion staples! Dramatic changes lie
ahead.

Want to Keep Your
Choppers? Then Chew
Over This Advice
The gaps that begin to appear
in the mouths of most Ameri-
cans by middle age can usually
be prevented, according to the
heartening news in the March
Reader's Digest. The trick is to
treat your gums as carefully as
your teeth
In an article, "The Secret of
Keeping Your Teeth," author
Don Murray reports that science
has almost won the fight against
tooth decay. But it remains
locked in battle against periden-
tal disease, or pyorrhea, the slow
destruction of the gums which
causes the loss of more teeth
than decay.
The first signs of pyorrhea
usually occur in late childhood
or adolescence. Its onset is
marked by mild inflammation of
the gums, usually so slight that
it is painless. By the time the
disease becomes noticeable, it is
often difficult to treat.
Thus the key is prevention.
Regular visits to your dentist
are important. At least twice a
year he should check your gums
as well as your teeth. Ask him
to remove any collections of tar-
tar, the cement-like substance
which builds up and that cannot
be eliminated by brushing.
Your dentist can also show
you how to brush your gums as
well as your teeth, in order to
get out any irritating food par-
ticles that may collect between
teeth and gums.
Proper nutrition is vital in pre-
venting gum disease. So is cor-
recting any conditions, such as
improper bite or abnormal chew-
ing habits, that may contribute
to breaking down gum tissue.
Scientists are doing their best
to help us keep our teeth for all
of our lives. Now it is up to each
of us to bite into their sugges-
tions for making certain that
we'll never have to purchase our
choppers from a dental lab's
hoppers.
Sports Outlook
Dating Revolution
(ACPI From the University
of Miami comes news which may
revolutionize the dating habits
in America, says the Daily Rev-
eille, Louisiana State University.
Dental researchers there have
discovered that tooth decay is
a highly contagious disease
rather than a hereditary defect.
At first, this may seem insig-
nificant. However, upon closer
examination, who would know-
ingly destroy his ivory smile or
earn himself a premature set of
false teeth simply because he
had been kissing the wrong girl?
Dr. Doran D, Zinner. one of
the researchers, confirmed that
tooth decay was caused by cer-
tain types of mouth bacteria.
The dentist-microbiologist as-
serts that these bacteria are
transmitted by direct contact,
using case histories of rats,
hamsters and humans to prove
it.
A person will now need to
check a prospective date's den-
tal history as well as other vital
statistics. The question arises of
how this may be done without
arousing suspicion.
Zinner announced that the
best tooth decay protection
comes from the use of fluorides.
Here is a positive area for dis-
crimination. Once a person
knows where his date is from, he
need merely check his pocket
guide of fluoridated water sup-
plies in the United States. If the
local supply is fluoridated, then
he can be sure by subtly plying
her with water.
Another method which might
prove helpful calls for a bit of
sleuthing. By staking out in the
drugstore, one could take note
of what kind of toothpaste she
buys.

Fewer Breaths Per Minute
Can Lead To Better Health
How often do you breathe?
If the question sounds strange,
you may find it more surprising
to learn that the answer prob-
ably is: too often.
At least that's the view of one
expert, London resident William
Knowles whose breathing exer-
cises have helped 100,000 men
and women learn to use their
lungs properly in the past 30
years and have earned him the
nickname of "Breather"
Knowles.
According to a February Read-
er's Digest article. Knowles be-
lieves that most of us should
take far less than the 14 to 18
superficial breaths that we draw
per minute. He himself takes
only four. Fewer breaths mean
deeper breaths, he says.
One key to proper breathing is
to exhale fully. Try this to test
your own capacity. With your
mouth open, exhale all you can.
Now purse your lips and blow.
Chances are there was lots of air
left, indicating that you're al-
lowing stagnant air to accumu-
late in your lungs.
To help increase your capacity
for blowing out, try reading a
paragraph aloud each day. No-
tice how far you get the first
day, then gradually increase the
number of lines you can read
without inhaling. Another exer-
cise is to breathe in to the count
of four and out to the count of
12, increasing the count gradu-
ally until you can inhale to seven
and exhale to 21.
According to Knowles proper
breathing will help you feel bet-
ter, have more energy, suffer less
from fatigue, sleep better and
wake up faster. Breathing well
can also provide greater strength
for strenuous tasks, a fact well
known to athletes. Their "sec-
ond wind," for example, is really
only the shift from shallow to
deep breathing.
You may think that breathing
is a "natural" act, similar to
your heartbeat. But there is this
essential difference. You cannot
control your heartbeat. You can
control your breathing. Exerting
such control can help you to bet-
ter health and better living.

TASK: AN
INTERVIEW
By Robert L. Joiner, Jr.
As Editor-in-Chief of the
Tiger's Roar, I have been asked
several questions about the year-
book for the past four months.
It is true that the yearbook and
newspaper editors work hand in
hand, however, there were
several questions directed to me
which I could not answer. To
answer student's questions re-
garding the 1966 Tiger, I inter-
viewed Otha L. Douglass, Jr.,
Editor-in-Chief of the Tiger:
q When will the 1966 Tiger
be distributed?
A We expect to distribute the
yearbook on May 26, 1966.
Q What mark of distinction
will the yearbook have to dis-
tinguish it from past yearbooks?
A After analyzing SSC's past
yearbooks. I feel that the 1966
Tiger will have more organiza-
tion, because the theme is ear-
ned out much better.
Q What do you mean by
theme?
A The theme, in this case,
can be associated with parallel-
ism. That is every yearbook has
or should have a kind of topic
sentence. This topic sentence
may be in the form of words,
pictures or abstract. The theme
is usually found in the beginning
or even on the cover and is car-
ried through the entire book. In
our case, we put more emphasis
on progress, therefore progress
is our theme.
Q Will the yearbook include
any new sections?
A The 1966 Tiger will include
two new sections. They are the
academic section and the student
life section.
Q_What about the contents
of the two new sections, is there
more emphasis on the faculty
and student body?
A For the most part, there is.
The academic section will con-
sist of more copy than it has had
in previous years and a better
description of each department
is given. While the student life
section, although there's very
little copy in places, the entire
section emphasizes students.
These two additional sections
will add more light to the pages

Blood Donor
Support The
Blood Bank
"I AM MY BROTHER'S
KEEPER." These biblical words
express eloquently the concept
of human brotherhood and care.
If you believe in this concept,
then there is no better tangible
evidence than the donating of
your blood to help to save the
life of another.
On April 13. 1966, the second
phase of the Savannah State
College Blood Bank Program will
be sponsored by the Committee
on College Health Services in
co-operation with the American
Red Cross. The first phase of
the Blood Bank Program of this
school year, which was held on
December 1. 1965, resulted in the
donation by the College family
of 126 pints of life-giving blood.
We wish at this time to thank
those donors, and to urge them
to give again. We especially in-
vite those who were unable to
respond to the first call to
donate on April 13, 1966. The
high purpose and noble commit-
ment symbolized in such a gift
to humanity reminds us once
again of the total involvement
of all mankind.
I sincerely urge and encourage
each member of the Savannah
State College family to make a
donation, on April 13, 1966. of
one pint of blood to the Blood
Bank, and help to make the
record of Savannah State Col-
lege the best in the history of
the Blood Bank Program.

5 NAACP Members
Attend Convention
By Marva Deloach
Five delegates, accompanied
by Mr E. J. Josey. SSC's
Librarian and advisor to the
College Branch of the NAACP.
attended the NAACP's 14th
Annual Convocation, held at
Mobile. Alabama on March 17-19.
The delegates were Ithamus
Studgeon, James Sapp, III. Henry
Semmons, Carolyn Maxwell and
Marva Deloach.
Being the largest and most
active chapter of Region V, SSC
had the second largest delegation
at the convention. On having the
second largest delegation,
Ithamus Studgeon accepted a
certificate of recognition on be-
half of the chapter.
Workshop sessions included
finding ways of attracting more
members and raising more funds.
"Equal Employment Opportuni-
ties" and what local chapter
could do to fight for freedom
were two topics which were
treated in the workshops.
The most interesting work-
shops were concerned with de-
veloping a community action
program for youth, the functions
of the NAACP and politics. These
interesting because many phases
of the Economic Opportunity
Program were brought out which
were given little attention in
former workshops.
The next workshop began
with a play presented by the
youth council in Mobile. This
play pointed out very elaborately
the case of the past, the present
and the future of the Negro in
politics.
The workshop on the "'NAACP
In and Out" stressed the im-
portance of attending the
NAACP's National Convention.
Mr. Jesse H. Turner, Vice Chair-
man, National Board of Directors
of the NAACP, stated that the
convention was threefold in that
it is an educational body, a
political body and a policy
making body.
The youth night program was
another highlight of the conven-
tion. Mr. John Nettles, a
seminary student from Atlanta,
spoke on the topic "Keep on
Pushing." He said in essence that
the Negro's bid for freedom has
just begun and that the Negro
must not confine himself to
"direct action protest," but must
include "direct action progress."
Among the distinguished per-
sons attending were Mr. Jess
Turner, member of the National
Board; Mr. W. C. Palton, As-
sociate Director of Voter Regis-
tration; Dr. John W. Nixon, State
Conference President of Ala-

Student government leader Charles E. Day. was named "Man of
the Year" last Thursday by Savannah State College's male students
at the all-college assembly climaxing the college's celebration of Its
19th Annual Men's Festival.
Day, who is a senior mathematics major and an honor student
of Savannah, won the coveted award over five other candidates.
It is believed that Day was selected for the annual award by
the male students of SSC for his exemplification of the annual
celebration aims.
The first Men's Festival was
held at Savannah State College
on April 24, 1948. Since that time
this program has shown tre-
mendous growth in both the
quality and scope of its activities,
and is now regarded as one of
the outstanding events held
annually at the College.
Speeches for this annual were
made by two college presidents
who have excelled in the fields
of scholarship, law, education,
administration, fraternal and
civic affairs. Leading the parade
of presidents was Dr. John
Foster Potts, President. Voorhees
Junior College, Denmark, South
Carolina, who spoke in observ-
ance of Inspiration Hay on Sun-
day, April 3, at 6:00 p.m., In
Meldrim Auditorium. Also ap-
pearing on this program was the
nationally famous SSC Men's
Glee Club, under the direction
of Mr. James Thompson, Jr. This
Three Students
Attend Conference
At Columbia
Three SSC students recently
attended the 42nd Annual Co-
lumbia Scholastic Association
Press Conference at Columbia
University in New York on
March 10-12.
The students, cited for serv-
ices rendered In the area of
public relations Included Robert
Joiner, editor of The Tiger's
Roar, Otha Douglas, editor of the
Tiger and Clemontine Freeman,
associate editor of the Tiger's
Roar.
The group participated in
several workshops and seminars
of public relations.
Wilton C. Scott, Director of
Public Relations, who served as
advisor for the group, was
honored at a dinner for National
Council for School Press and
Advisors Association at the
Americana Hotel in New York.
At the dinner Scott was elected
executive member for the
Federation of School Press Di-
rectors USA.
Scott conducted two sectional
meetings at the convention on
"How to Uncover News" and
"Writing and Editing News."
At the convention publications
from Savannah State College
won three first place and two
second place awards.
The first place awards went
to the Tiger's Roar, the college
newspaper; the SSC Alumni
Newsletter and the College
Bulletin.
Savannah State was the only
college winning three first places.
The two second place awards
were for the Pacemaker, official
publication for the Press Insti-
tute and for the SSC journalism
workshop for inexperienced
teachers and advisors.
was the Men's Glee Club's first
appearance on campus since re-
turning from their highly suc-
cessful northeastern Spring
Tour. President Thomas Miller
Jenkins, Albany State College,
Albany, Georgia, spoke at the
All-College Assembly for stu-
dents and faculty on Thursday,
April 7, at 10:20 a.m., in Wiley
Gymnasium, which is celebrated
annually as Education Day.
Musical selections again were
rendered by the SSC Men's Glee
Club. Also presented at this hour
was the coveted plaque designat-
ing as "Man of the Year" the
student whose achievements and
contributions to the school and
community have been most
significant. This year's plaque
was donated through the
courtesy of the Royal Crown Cola
Company, Columbus, Georgia,
and the Royal Crown Bottling
Company, Savannah, Georgia.
The winner of this award Is
selected by a rating system
which allows each person cast-
ing a ballot to evaluate the
candidate on the basis of such
criteria as scholarship, effective
leadership, character, and
citizenship. This recognition is
one of the major highlights of
this annual celebration.
A special added attraction to
the annual activities for this
year was the presentation of the
talented Miss Georgia Davis, one
of the Country's finest young
contraltos, in concert on Mon-
day, April 4, at 8:15 p.m., in
Meldrim Auditorium.
The aims of the Men's Festival
are to promote finer manhood,
help prepare men to shoulder
the heavy responsibilities of a
democratic society through par-
ticipation in worthwhile activi-
ties, and to help prepare men
for leadership responsibilities
throughout the world.
Officers for this nineteenth
annual observance were: Presi-
dent Howard Jordan. Jr., serv-
ing as Honorary Chairman;
Willie C. Smith of Fitzgerald,

Needed: An
Acceptable Outlet
For Aggression
Prospect for the future; a
young man applies to the college
of his choice, is accepted and
told he can start classes just
as soon as he's completed a six-
months "term" working on cam-
pus as a bricklayer or carpenter.
The possibility is raised in a
March Reader's Digest article by
John Fischer, editor of Harper's.
Fischer argues that to stem the
growing tide of anti-social vio-
lence, society must provide ac-
ceptable outlets for tlie aggres-
sive Instincts so deeply imbedded
In our genes.
" 'Be a fighter' has always
been our first law of survival,"
Fischer asserts. "Warfare was
for centuries the main social en-
terprise, absorbing virtually all
the community's surplus time,
energy and resources. Belliger-
ence was celebrated as a prime
civic virtue, and the Great
Fighter was ensiirined as the
universal hero."
But with the industrialization
of war about a century ago
fighting became less acceptable
as an outlet for aggression, At
about the same time the rise of
the city eliminated another tra-
ditional testing ground for mas-
culine prowess: the struggle
against nature.
What's left, says Fischer, are
"surrogates for violence." Most
fashionable are strenuous and
risky sports skiing, skin diving,
mountain climbing and others.
All too often, though, the search
for substitutes turns to unheal-
thy channels: gang fights, steal-
ing cars, vandalism and rioting.
The antidote lies in finding a
modern version of William
James' "moral equivalent for
war," Fischer writes. James' idea
was to have every youth spend a
few years at hard and danger-
ous labor. The Peace Corps is
our most successful experiment
in this direction, says the au-
thor; the Job Corps and other
domestic anti-poverty programs
also help. But more projects are
needed to make use of "the
youthful need for struggle and
self-sacrifice."
One idea might be to have ev-
ery able-bodied student spend
six months laboring to help con-
struct thousands of new college
buildings that we'll need for the
future. Enlisting state Youth
Corps workers in the fight to
clean up our polluted rivers is
another suggestion.
The problems are with us; so
is the manpower to cope with
them. Says Fischer: "if we can
discover a few hundred such
projects, they might add up to a
pretty fair Moral Equivalent."
Scholarships

17 to August 27. Courses avail-
able to students will include law,
political science and ilberal arts
courses and German language
courses. The St Wniigang pro-
gram is open to candidates who
have completed two or more
years of college and will cost
approximately $340. which in-
cludes a $20 registration fee. An
optional four-day trip to Vienna
at a small additional charge is
also available.
The aim of the Salzburg sum-
mer school at Salzburg -Kless-

American Society, is to provide
students with an opportunity to
learn the German language and
to acquire a first-hand knowl-
edge of Austrian culture and
foreign policy. Although most

schools' fees.
Summer school opportunities
in Great Britain include a choice
of subjects and historical peri-
ods, with study to be carried out
at the appropriate university
concerned. The study of Shake-
speare and Elizabethan drama
will be offered at Stratford-
upon-Avon by the University of
Birmingham; the history, liter-
ature and arts of England from
1870 to the present will be
taught at the University of Ox-

Lost Freedom
(ACP) For all practical pur-
poses, the members of the U. S.
population under 21 have lost
their freedom, says the Colorado
State College Mirror, Greeley.
The Mirror defines freedom as
Salado De Madariage defined it:
"He is free who knows how to
keep in his own hands the power
to decide at each step, the course
of his life and who lives in a
society which does not block the
exercise of that power."
Are the U S. government and
the mass media, inspired by the
chauvinistic tensions of the
American people, sacrificing the
freedom of a huge portion of the
younger generation? We think
so.
Last year the Berkeley protes-
tors (Free Speech Movement)
were given fines and sentences
for exercising civil disobedience.
The peace march on Washing-
ton in December, made up most-
ly of students, was labeled by the
mass media, carte blanche, as
"fringe radicals" and "pinkos,"
The burning of draft cards, a
symbolic gesture of disagree-
ment with the administration's
policy in Viet Nam, can now be
punished by five years in prison
and a $10,000 fine.
The teach-in movement was
effectively stifled by government
charges of communist infiltra-
tion and manipulation.
A young Texas airman was
sentenced to two years at hard
labor by a military tribunal for
participating in a peace march,
even though he was off duty and
in civilian clothes.
Reader's Digest. Look and Life
magazines have efficiently as-
sured the American patriot that
the whole Viet Nam protest
movement is controlled by Com-
munist agents.
The whole American ideal
confirmed the right of the indi-
vidual to speak his mind and
pursue his own reality, as long
as he was not threatening some-
one else's right to do the same.
What has happened to the
ideal?
We are free as long as we keep
our mouths shut, stay in step
and join a few clubs.

SUPPORT YOUR
BLOOD BANK
"A society that needs disci-
plined brains is finding ways for
millions to go to college on noth-
ing a year."
So says Reader's Digest roving
editor Lester Velie, in an article
In the magazine's February is-
sue. Velie writes that a burgeon-
ing number of public and pri-
vate financial assistance pro-
grams virtually guarantee that
any qualified student can go to
college-
Illustrating the scope of the
financial boosts available are
the 60-year-old Cooperative Ed-
ucation and the year-old federal
work-study programs.
Under the Co-op plan, college
and industry cooperate in lining
up part-time or temporary jobs
for students. The student earns
the prevailing wage for the job
he holds, goes to school when
he's not working. In addition
to earning the funds needed to
stay in school, he picks up valu-
able work experience that can
help him land a better job once
he graduates.
An interesting variation on
the plan is being used by Bos-
ton's Northeastern University.
The school assigns two students
to a given job. As one works.
the other studies. At the end of
each semester, they change
places.
There are now 88 schools em-
ploying the Co-op plan, and the
number is growing rapidly.
Newer but equally effective is
the year-old federal work-study
program. This plan is available
to those whose family income is
in the $3000 to $6000 range, Un-
der the plan students follow the
traditional pattern of working
their way through college by
taking odd jobs but with a dif-
ference. In the past such jobs
waiting on table and the like-
usually paid far less than the
going rate for similar work. The
new plan provides a minimum
wage that's usually at least $1.25
an hour. Federal tax funds pro-
vide up to nine tenths of the
wage; the college supplies the
rest.
Along with these programs, fi-
nancially-pressed students can
qualify for long-term low-cost
student loans which are repay-
able only after graduation.
Moreover, scholarship opportu-
nities are growing, with over
$130 million in college scholar-
ships distributed each year by
colleges and corporations, labor
unions, veterans' groups and
benevolent societies.
So whether you're in college
now or contemplating future
enrollment, the heartening news
is that financial need alone no
longer need disqualify you from
enjoying the best education you
are capable of absorbing.
Peace Corps Announces Eleven
Training Courses For College Juniors
May 20 is the deadline to en-
roll in 11 Peace Corps training
courses for college juniors to be
held this summer at U. S. uni-
versities, the Peace Corps an-
nounced in Washington, D. C.
Peace Corps officials advised
that students enroll immediately
because of the time required to
process the applications. "The
sooner the better," they said
The courses 10 starting in
June and the other in July are
designed to enable future Volun-
teers to integrate Peace Corps
training with their senior year
of college. Each course runs 10
weeks.
Juniors qualified to enter the
Advance Training Program will
be prepared for assignments in
14 countries. The assignments
cover community and agricul-
tural development, secondary
education and teaching English
in French-speaking West Africa,
In their final year of college,
the trainees' courses of study
may be tailored to fit their Peace
Corps training. The ATP en-
rollees will complete their train-
ing in special field programs the
summer of 1967.
A Peace Corps loan fund for
ATP enrollees helps cover the
loss of income trainees might
have otherwise earned from
summer employment. Trainees
may borrow up to $600 at low in-
terest rates to pay expenses dur-
ing their final year in school.
ATP was begun in 1964 as a
solution to the increasing diffi-
culty in preparing Volunteers for
certain assignments. Some
Volunteers, for example, must
learn two languages to handle
their work effectively. ATP gives
the Peace Corps 15 months to
prepare the Volunteer instead of
the normal three.
Courses to be held this sum-
mer:
1 1 Bolivia Community Develop-

Michael Harrington
Will Appear At S S C
The Savannah State College
Library will present its third
lecture in the 1965-66 Library
Lecture Series. The series will be
sponsored by the Field Founda-
tion. The speaker will be the
eminent social critic and writer,
Michael Harrington. Mr. Har-
rington will address himself to
the topic, "The Politics of
Poverty." His book THE OTHER
AMERICA, more than any other
treatise published in this cen-
tury, influenced Presidents Ken-
nedy and Johnson to inaugurate
the anti-poverty program.
Mr. Harrington was born in
St. Louis in 1928. graduated from
Holy Cross College in 1947. at-
tended Yale Law School for one
year and received his Masters
Degree at the University of
Chicago in 1949. In 1951 and '52,
he was Associate Editor of the
Catholic Worker and lived at the
Catholic Worker House in New
York. In 1953 he was the organ-
izational secretary of the Work-
ers Defense League.
In 1954 Mr. Harrington was
assistant to John Cogley in the
Fund for the Republic's study
of black-listing in the entertain-
ment industry. Since then he has
been a consultant to the Fund
in one capacity or another up
until the present time. As a con-
sultant to the trade union
project of the Fund, he was co-
editor with Paul Jacobs of the
book. LABOR IN A FREE SO-
CIETY. He is currently a con-
sultant to the Center for the
Study of Democratic Institutions,
which the Fund has established
in Santa Barbara.
THE OTHER AMERICA was
published in 1962. A study of
his on the Retail Clerks Union
was published by John Wiley in
1963. His new book, THE AC-
CIDENTAL CENTURY, was pub-
lished by Macmillan in the fall
of 1965. THE OTHER AMERICA
has been published in eight
different foreign editions, in-
cluding Japanese, Italian
French. German. Hungarian,
Polish and Russian.
In 1964 Mr. Harrington served
as a consultant to Sargent
Shriver in the War Against
Poverty. He also has been work-
ing with Walter Reuther in help-
ing to set up The Citizens
Crusade Against Poverty, which
will join together trade union,
religious and social welfare
organizations in a broad
coalition.
Mr. Harrington received the
Hillman Foundation and George
Polk awards in 1963 and a Wash-
ington Newspaper Guild award
in 1964. Mr. Harrington was
elected Chairman of the Board
of Directors, LID in 1964, follow-
ing many years of dedicated
service as a member of the
Board.

Today's Youth Represents
''Movement" In Education
i ACPi The dean of admis-
sions at the University of Cin-
cinnati concluded that "today's
millions of American college stu-
dents represent the most mass-
ive movement in the history of
higher education" in his annual
survey of college enrollments re-
cently.
Dr. Garland G. Parker re-
ported 3,292,539 full-time stu-
dents and a grand total of
4,586.057 attending the 1,095 ac-
credited universities, senior col-
leges and four-year colleges re-
porting to him, according to the
News Record.
This represents an increase of

Guaranteed Jobs
Abroad For Students
At the end of last term, six
hundred intrepid students and
teachers (ranging in age from
18 to 40) hopped from class-
rooms to Europe in practically
one leap. None of them was
particularly wealthy and none
was on a special grant or
scholarship. Yet each was able
to afford a fabulous, meaningful,
cultural summer abroad. The six
hundred peripatetics were par-
ticipants in the JOBS ABROAD
program originated by the Inter-
national Student Information
Service (ISIS), a non-profit
organization headquartered in
Brussels, Belgium.
ISIS and its American affiliate,
the International Student Travel
IISTC), are organizations de-
voted to providing jobs abroad
to students and teachers who are
sincerely interested in expand-
ing their horizons by living and
working abroad. The ISIS/ISTC
JOBS ABROAD program was
established in 1961. Many stu-
dents who participated that first
year have repeated their educa-
tional experience in the ensuing
years.
Most of the jobs are for un-
skilled workers in construction,
on farms, in factories, hospitals,
hotels and restaurants, as
mother's helpers and camp
counsellors. Salaries range from
$50 a month (including room and
board) to $200 a month. Average
pay is $100 a month and al-
though low by American wage
standards, it is usually more
than enough to pay living ex-
penses while in Europe. The
salaries are the same as those
paid to local employees doing
the same job.
Working in Europe gives a
participant all the cultural
benefits available to a tourist.
But the participant acquires
knowledge while he is earning
. . . not spending. The student-
worker has the unique advantage
of getting a sharp, clear picture
of a country and its culture for
he sees its through the eyes of
its people. The tourist generally
gets a hazy and somewhat dis-
torted picture, for he sees it

totals over the 1964 figures.
Parker's study was carried by
the educational journal, "School
and Society," as its 46th annual
collegiate enrollment report,
Records were set in all but one
category. The number of part-
time students In urban universi-
ties dropped slightly.
Last fall's increase in full-time
students will mean "significant-
ly larger numbers in the junior
and senior levels in the next two
years," Parker predicted, "Even
larger entering classes will suc-
ceed them and be augmented by
greatly increased numbers of
transfers from the junior and
community colleges," he added.
The number of freshmen rose
17.3 per cent in both 1964 and
1965 even though the increase
in the numbers of 18-year-olds
was only 10 to 12 per cent over
1964. Parker cited the following
factors as significant in this in-
crease.
Try this riddle: what item of
common use is baked m an oven,
saves much effort and is becom-
ing increasingly popular with
American consumers?
No, we are not thinking of
food. The answer, according to
information in a February Read-
er's Digest article, is clothing:
specifically the new "permanent
press" clothing that has swept
into prominence in recent
months.
Says the article, by Don
Wharton: "Two years ago there
wasn't even the name 'perma-
nent press.' Today the term is
dominant in men's casual and
work pants, has spread into
men's dress and sports shirts,
women's and children's gar-
ments, bedsheets, jackets, pa-
jamas, raincoats."
Permanent press (or durable
press, as it's sometimes known)
got its start about a dozen years
ago when a small San Francisco
sportswear manufacturer, Koret
of California, set out to make
women's skirts with lasting
pleats. They made a skirt from
Honorary Society in January of
1952. The chapter which was
organized with 19 charter mem-
bers, has since initiated almost
50 members.

elected to national offices in the
honors society : Kirby Kirksey
of Texas Southern University In
Houston, as vice president;
George W. Gore, Jr., of Florida

cotton fabric, impregnated it
with a mixture of special resins
and baked it in an oven. The
chemical reaction caused the
skirt to retain its pleats and re-
sist wrinkle formation.
Koret's limited resources did-
n't permit full-scale research
into the process, so the company
patented the process under the
name Koratron, then teamed up
with a South Carolina fabric-
producing firm, the Graniteville
Co., and with Levi Strauss, the
famed manufacturer of Levi's.
The three companies worked for
more than a year and spent well
over a million dollars to perfect
the process. The result: in Feb-
ruary 1964 the first mass-pro-
duced, permanent-press gar-
ments began appearing in retail
stores.
Today business is booming.
All 17 major U. S. fabric produc-
ers are involved in permanent
press, and by last fall 190 gar-
ment manufacturers had been
licensed to use Koratron. It is
estimated that nearly half of all
men's and boys' slacks sold this
year will be permanent press, as
will more than one fourth of all
dress and sports shirts.
The new process is not with-
out problems, notes the Digest
article. Permanent press fabrics
lack absorption qualities, thus
may not be ideal for work
clothes if the job is a sweaty one.
Permanent press can decrease
wearing qualities, although the
lack of ironing needed can com-
pensate. And permanent press
items should be tumble-dried or
hung up dripping wet for best
results, rather than dried in the
spin cycle of standard washer-
driers.
So. the Digest advises, don't
give up your iron yet. But do
shop carefully for the growing
number of permanent press
items, that represent perhaps
the greatest boon to the house-
wife since ready-mix cakes.

THEATRE TAKES OFF-
"J. B." and the Actors
By Brandan Galloway, Savannah Morning News Critic
Something wonderful hap-
pened last week at Savannah
State College. Theatre happened,
as the "Players by the Sea," a
cast and crew of enthusiastic,
variously talented students,
guileci (and no doubt often
goaded i by a dedicated director,
put across Archibald McLeish's
play. "J, B," Theatre, as such,
does not always happen, not
even on or "off" Broadway; as
a matter of fact, theatre seems
to be more honestly flourishing
on campus and in communities
across the land. This has never
seemed truer to this reviewer
than on Wednesday night,
watching Robert L. Stevenson,
the director, and his dynamic
cast, meet head-on the challenge
of a complex, difficult play, with
electrifying results.
To say the production was
perfect In every respect would
be fatuous and insulting, as
wholesale flattery always Is.
There were flaws. There were,
for example, moments when de-
livery and diction could have
been improved. There were oc-
casional faults in blocking,
which, at one point, resulted in
some of the players screening
the central character from the
view of the audience sitting on
the right hand side of the hall.
There was even a moment,
dreaded by actors and directors,
everywhere, when the audience
fell apart laughing during an
intensely serious scene. This was
not to the discredit of the cast;
it was simply something that
occurs inexplicably in an audi-
ence, which laughs perhaps to
avoid the embarrassment of
honest emotion. Who knows?
It is not these minor flaws and
mishaps that matter, however.
The great thing is that they
were triumphantly surmounted,
and that from the stage came a
charge of excitement, of vigor,
of feeling and of life. The spec-
tator himself became tremend-
ously involved in what was going
forward on the raked platform,
and what "J. B.s" decision was
finally going to be, was of
terrible importance.
Chief among those who gener-
ated all this excitement from
nearly bare stage, in McLeish's
20th century version of the Story
of Job, were Charles Savage in
the title role, Kathleen Jamer-
son as Sarah, his wife, Jack
Handy as Zuss, or "God," and
Craig Ford as a furious and vital

the smoking habits of those who
smoke.
Question: How has the note of
caution on cigarette packages
affected your smoking habit?
Addic Scott It has not af-
fected me too much because my
smoking habit is very limited.
Nab The mere fact that the
hazards of cigarettes was for-
mally announced not long ago
didn't seem to me to be such a
miraculous finding, so as to alter
my smoking habits, since I and
many others perhaps knew that
cigarette smoking was a possible
health hazard.
Bernicc Proctor It has not
affected me at all, I still smoke
as much as I did before.
Carolyn Lewis It has affected
me a great deal in that I have
given up the habit of smoking.
Leonard Jones It has affected
me to the extent that I have
begun to consider the possibility
of giving up smoking. However,
I will continue to smoke until I
can gradually break the habit.
Delores Solamon The caution
note has not affected me mainly
because I don't make smoking
a habit, although I am aware
of the consequences, I feel that
I can stop whenever I wish.
Dorothy Thompson To be
honest, I picked up the habit of
smoking after reading the
caution note. But because of the
note, I say to myself, "This is
the last one."
Alfred Mullice It has not
affected my smoking habit very
much because I try to limit my-
self to the number of cigarettes
I smoke per day.
incarnation of Satan, of, in this
play, "Nickles."
Savage, tall and personable,
gave a moving and heroically
sustained performance. His
transition of the well-heeled
tycoon, materially and spiritually
amply nourished and com-
placent, to the destitute, unlived
and physically tortured wreck.
despairing yet steadfast in his
faith, was worthy of a seasoned
actor. Miss Jamerson gave
beauty and dignity to the role
of J. B.'s long-suffering wife.
Not that this part should not
have such qualities, but long-
suffering wives can be rather a
trial, in plays as in "real" life,
and Miss Jamerson gave Sarah
definite character, validity, a
justification, so to speak.
Equally difficult are the parts
of Zuss and Nickles, God and the
Devil waging their eternal con-
flict, over the hapless J. B. Zuss
was given a majestically in-
terpreted characterization by
Jack Handy, never at a loss
against Nickles' sophistries. Craig
Ford was a lithe, strenuous, and
an utterly satisfying furious
Satan.
The parts of Bildad, Zophar,
and Ellphaz, Job's comforters
were very well performed by
Arthur Curtwright, Eloise Glover,
and Lonnie Crawford, certainly
to the extent that they were
instantly unlikeable as they
brought to poor J. B. their nega-
tive solace. The asides of the old
women huddled in the shelter
of the wall, during this scene,
were well done, and provided
the only light touches in the
drama.

Private Willie M. Wilkerson of
Company D, First Battalion.
First Engineer Training Brigade,
is as much at home sighting his
rifle on an elephant as a man-
shaped target. Participating in
an elephant hunt was just one
of the many interesting experi-
ences the Naylor, Ga., soldier en-
joyed while serving with the
Peace Corps in West Africa.
Wilkerson, a 24-year-old grad-
uate of Savannah State College
in Savannah, Ga., served as a
construction engineer in West
Cameroon before being inducted
into the Army last November.
As a Peace Corpsman he taught
building construction, architec-
tural drawing and surveying to
the people of the West African
nation.
"It was very gratifying to be
able to help the people help
themselves," he said. "They were
excellent students; eager to
learn. All of our projects were
successful."
Wilkerson is now utilizing his
engineering talents in training
as a basic combat engineer. Dur-
ing eight weeks of intensive
training at Fort Leonard Wood,
combat engineer trainees are
taught various construction
methods, use of demolitions,
weapons qualification and re-
lated subjects.
The Georgia soldier volun-
teered for the Peace Corps in
July 1963 and after three months
of special schooling at Ohio Uni-
versity was sent to West
Cameroon. His travels didn't end
there, however, and during the
ensuing months he visited Egypt,
Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast,
Togo. Liberia and other African
nations.
Aside from the elephant hunt,
which stands as the high spot
of his African adventures. Wilk-
erson recalls a host of interest-
ing experiences : "Once we
climbed Mt. Cameroon, a 13,370-
foot peak near the coast," he
remarked. "In just 16 hours we
moved from 90-degree jungle
weather to a snowstorm more
than two miles above the valley
floor."
The former Peace Corpsman
hopes to return to West Africa
someday to continue teaching.

of Mr. and Mrs, Mayo Wilkerson,

School in Valdosta, Ga.
Fashion for Men
A thing of beauty never dies,
the same can be said about
fashion because some of the
styles of yesterday are returning
to most men attires. The double
breasted suit, wide rim hat, old
fashion tie styles and a host of
other things in the line of at-
tractive clothes are a few.
In a late edition of Esquire
Maga/ine it was predicted that
the wide tie had returned. Last
seen in the late Forties, the
broad-model tie made a hasty
exit with the advent of narrow
shoulders and overall slim styl-
ing. Thinner ties (two inches
wider, opposed to the old three-
and-a-half or wider) were more
in keeping with the new lines:
narrow-brimmed hats, straight-
hanging jackets, etc. But lately
the trend has been to break up
the straight lines with angles
The new shaped suit has wider
shoulders, suppression at the
waist and flair at the shirt. Hat
brims are more pronounced. A
resounding reintroduction of the
wide tie was made in London's
West End with the polka-dot,
a king-size five inches at its
widest point. Perhaps a four-
incher tie would serve you just
as well, but it is clear that with
the shop of men's clothes today,
only the wide tie is fit to be tied.
For casual wear almost any-
thing goes, the wash-and-wear
khakis, white jeans and on cool
days corduroy jeans are often
worn on the college and univer-
sity campus.
Shoes are very informal these
days, mostly everyone is wear-
ing wing type loafers, sneakers,
suede hush puppies, and clark
suede boots. If you are a college
student it is hard to go wrong
in your dressing attires, just
keep the colors right. The colors
jar this season if blue-green
combination, anyway you like it.

EASTER-TIME! The very word begins to echo through the
quadrangle like an ignited stick of dynamite. Whatever other con-
notations it may hold for you, Easter Vacation always comes as a
last-minute antidote through which you escape just in the nick
of time your impending nineteenth nervous breakdown and the
breakneck pace of academic life. So, on your mark, get set, GO!
Chances are you'll be going South where the Spring grass is green
and the tropic sunshine good and hot. Time, that is, for tips on
what to take along...
NASSAU, ANYONE? NodoubtT.S.Eliotwasn't
thinking of the Caribbean when he labeled April
the cruelest month not by a long shot. There's
Bermuda, sitting like "an emerald in a sapphire
sea;" there's Ft. Lauderdale, where the girls are
and where the hoys follow after. On the West
Coast, there's La Jolla, or for the way out
swingers, Newport Beach. And if you really
want to get away from it all, there's Mexico
City. But whether you find your pipe-dream under a volcano or
under a swaying palm, remember to play it safe. Take along at
least one dark suit, a lightweight polyester and wool or a cotton
blend. You never know when you might be invited up to the Gov-
ernor's mansion for drinks on the patio.
FOR THAT SMART, young millionaire look, you couldn't do better
than select your dress-up resort wear in Navy blue. Dark gray's
okay, and olive will do. but royal Navy has a rich, crisp look college
men like. And. incidentally, there's no time like the present to look
for a Permanent Press suit. It'll keep the wrinkles out as Summer
comes sailing in.
WEAR WITH IT, a white or pale tone button
down shirt. It may be striped (and here the
color scheme of things is getting bolder and
brighter every day i . or a solid color. Best bets :
pale blue, pale lemon, pink, or a creamy tan
shade. The new Permanent Press dress shirts
are great for travel for obvious reasons: you
wash them out at night, and the next morning,
without ironing (or puckered seams) they're
back in perfect shape. Take along a couple of
ties; a bright, bold paisley, a repp stripe, and
make sure they sport the new, fashion-right,
wider widths.

MAKE THE CASUAL SCENE m a Mad or
polyester/ cotton seersucker sport jacket. Here,
your color and pattern choice may be as wild
as your taste permits. You'll need a pair of dark,
medium, or light gray dress slacks, and your
choice should depend on coordination with the
jacket. Jeans or chinos, three or four pairs, low-
rise, hip-hugging, and tapered in faded blue or
a wheat color, are mandatory. Make sure they
have built-in wash-and-wear capabilities. Ditto
with your sport shirts. Select three or four in
the popular Henley style in lightweight woven
fabrics, and a couple of cotton/polyester knits.
ON THE BEACH let your imagination drift around the sand
castles. But before yon make the beach scene, be sure you're equipped
with several new swim shorts. Big. splashy Hawaiian surfer trunks
(usually available with matching shirts), and the new Basketball
swim short styles will be among the most popular this season. Most
young men prefer them in trim, athletic, form-fitting models, and
the word for surfing '6G is COLOR. Bright, burning reds, vivid yel-
lows, flashy greens, and wild prints are the top contenders.
THE TWILIGHT CHILL calls for a couple of colorful sweatshirts,
and a bulky, loose-knit "Poor Boy" sweater. Sneakers and sandals
are a must, of course, but even more imperative are shades and a
good suntan lotion. Slip a pair of black loafers into your suitcase,
zip it up, check out your reservations, and be off!
NEXT MONTH, We'll survey Spring and Summer fashions in depth.
Meanwhile, give our regards to the gang, and make every moment
count. Smooth sailing...

THE TIGERS ROAR
Search For Nations "Most Outstanding"
College Girl Is Underway
One of our students, here on
this campus, could be the next
National College Queen.
The annual search is now
underway to select and to honor
"the nation's most outstanding
college girl." Young women at-
tending this school are eligible
as candidates. A special invita-
tion has been extended to our
students. The winner will re-
ceive more than $5,000 in prizes,
including a trip to Europe and
an automobile.
The 1966 National College
Queen Pageant will be held in
June, and this year Pageant
officials will again award 50 free
trips to New York City. One col-
lege girl from every State, in-
cluding Alaska and Hawaii, will
be flown to Manhattan to com-
pete for high honors.
This Pageant is the annual
event which gives recognition to
students for their scholastic
ability. It is not a "beauty con-
test." Judging is based on
academic accomplishment as
well as attractiveness, charm
and personality. The judges are
seeking a typical American col-
lege girl.
For eleven years the National
College Queen Contest has been
growing, until it has become a
tradition at hundreds of colleges
and universities. This year, one
of our students can win and
bring nationwide recognition to
our school. The National Finals
will be held from June 10
through June 20. The event is a
highlight of the "New York Is
A Summer Festival" celebration,
which is sponsored by the New
York Convention and Visitors
Bu.-eau.

Entry Blank just write to: Na-
tional College Queen Contest

All undergraduate girls, from
freshmen through and including
seniors, are eligible. A candidate
may send in her own name. Or,
she can be recommended. Class-
mates, friends, sororities, fra-
ternities or campus club groups
can nominate the girl of their
choice by mailing her name to
the above address.
College girls on this campus
have an excellent chance to be-
come a State Winner. If you are
chosen to represent our State,
you will travel to New York as
a guest of the Pageant, all ex-
penses paid. Imagine yourself
spending ten days in Manhattan,

Last year, during the Pageant,
the National Finalists toured the
United Nations and they were
honored by a reception at the
American Embassy. Special
theater parties are arranged, and
after the performance they go
backstage to meet the stars.
In 1965, the title of National
College Queen was earned by
Miss Susan Terry Mallett. from
Michigan State University. She
has had an exciting year. For
example, she was invited to ap-
pear in "The Tournament of
Roses Parade" on New Year's
Day. She was featured on a float
in that famous Parade, and was
a guest at the Rose Bowl game.
Miss Mallett has now returned
to Michigan State University,
and is a student in her sopho-
more year.
With all the intelligent and at-
tractive college girls on this
campus, why don't we nominate
some candidates this year? Let's
have one of our students go to
the National Finals, and win top
honors in 1966!
It's easy to enter this contest.
Nothing to buy. No slogans to
write. The National College
Queen Pageant is sponsored by
several leading companies, as
their annual salute to outstand-
ing college students. They pre-
sent more than $5,000 in prizes.
For instance:
The next National College
Queen will win a new automobile.
She will receive a trip to Europe
a vacation tour of London,
Paris and the Continent. In the
field of fashions, she will be
awarded a complete wardrobe of
suits, dresses and sportswear.
She can select $500 worth of her
favorite styles.
One of the National Sponsors
of this Pageant is Best Foods,
Division of Corn Products Com-
pany makers of Hellmann's
Mayonnaise, Skippy peanut
butter, Mazola, Karo, etc. and
they will award an interesting
prize. They will present ten
shares of Corn Products Com-
pany stock to the next National
College Queen <So, girls, soon you
could own stock, collect divi-
dends, and be driving your new
car to the airport as you leave
for Europe. All this could happen
to you. It's worth trying.)
Here's one final reminder from
the judges: "The student's
academic record, her volunteer
activities and her hobbies are
important. The winner will be
someone who is active in several
phases of campus life. She does
not have to be a scholastic genius
nor have the beauty of a Holly-
wood movie star. The next Na-
tional College Queen will be a
typical American college girl-
bright, alert and personable."
Project Head Start
Listed Successful
By Reader's Digest
No campaign in the War on
Poverty has gotten off to a more
promising start than Project
Head Start, according to an
April Reader's Digest article. Last
summer the federally-financed
program enrolled more than half
a million uninformed preschool
youngsters all over the country
In learning programs. For most
of them the experience brought
about "an amazing transforma-
tion," says author Irwin Ross In
the article.
One child entered a Head Start
class unable to speak a word of
English; at the end of the course
some weeks later she had picked
up enough English to get Into
first grade. A four-year-old boy
in another class was so hostile
he came to school carrying a
knife one day. had to be frisked
every morning thereafter. But
by the time the program ended
he was relaxed enough for a
regular school.
Still another child was so shy
that she was described by a
supervisor as an "automated
doll." But one day she began to
talk and by program's end she
was a happy member of the
group.
The program is helping to
break what one authority called
the "chronic-failure syndrome"
In which children from im-
poverished families run into
difficulty in school because they
lack the rudimentary knowledge
that most youngsters pick up at
home.
"Many have never seen a book
or held a pencil or used scissors."
writes Ross. "When such children
enter first grade, they are apt
to be either passive and with-
drawn or overly aggressive and
unruly. They rapidly fall behind,
becoming mental dropouts long
before they physically leave
school.
To insure the individual at-
tention that these children need,
classes are held to a maximum
of 20 students under one pro-
fessional teacher, assisted by two
other adults. While this makes
for an expensive program (aver-
age cost: $170 per child last
summer) the results seem to
justify the costs.
The federal government pays
most of the program's cost,
which amounted last year to
some 95 million dollars. Local
communities contributed an ad-
ditional $12 million. Some 45.000
teachers, doctors, nurses and
social workers were involved in
the various Head Start programs,
In Opening Address
Charles Piutehuiau Emphasizes
Magazine Impact On Living
More than 500 student press
delegates, consultants, and pub-
lications advisers from six states
assembled in Meldiim Audito-
rium at 10:20 a.m. Feb. 10 for the
15th Annual Southern Regional
Press Institute at Savannah
State College.
The opening address was made
by Charles Pintchman, Director
of Public Affairs for Reader's
Digest of New York City, who
spoke on the importance of mass
media in magazines.
Pintchman stated that maga-
zines published and sold in 1964
in the United States were esti-
mated at approximately four bil-
lion. The affect of the American
people buying magazines could
easily be summed up In one
word; impact.
One particular and interesting
example that Mr. Pintchman
cited to emphasize the Impor-
tance of magazines in mass me-
dia is this quotation:
"In March, 1963, the Reader's
Digest published an article that
described the simple self-exami-
nation that women could per-
form to check for possible breast
cancer. The letters poured in by
the dozens. Some came from
women who wrote to say the
article had helped them find
peace of mind
"But far more impressive were
the letters from women who had
found suspicious lumps In the
breast as a result of reading the
Digest or test, and who had
gone to their doctors hopefully
In time to save their lives. Lives
saved because of a magazine
article."
The Digest Director also em-
phasized that "magazines are as
up-to-date as the latest head-
lines, as lasting as textbooks, as
dedicated to truth as the best
teachers.
Pintchman said In summation,
"Magazines provide a look at the
as were thousands of paid and
unpaid volunteers.
"Project Head Start has In-
volved the largest number of in-
dividuals, aroused the greatest
enthusiasm at the grass-roots
level and caused the least con-
troversy of all the programs in
the War on Poverty," writes
Ross. The project is being con-
tinued on a permanent basis,
with programs throughout the
academic year and another large
project scheduled for next sum-
mer.
great, the exciting, the dramatic
aspects of our lives. They influ-
ence us to want a better society,
they show us how to go about
achieving that society, and they
stimulate us to self -improve-
ment as well."

Q Will the 1966 Tiger have
any color pages?
A Yes, first of all, the cover
of the yearbook Is In color.
Q I understand that the staff
disagreed with the cover, will
you please elaborate on this?
A We have nothing against
color covers, for the trend of
today's yearbooks is toward the
use of chromatic or color covers.
However, we had planned to use
an embossed cover, but the
specifications were drawn up
prior to the election of the 1966
Tiger Staff, and we were obli-
gated to adhere to the specifica-
tions.
Q Douglass, you mentioned
that the theme of the 1966 Tiger
is "Progress," why progress?
A A few years ago there was
a period In SSC's history which
was characterized by com-
placency. If you were here In the
spring of 1962 you might recall
the Intensified atmosphere
brought about by the student
revolt. As a result of this, I un-
derstand, the Board of Regents
came to the students to cope
with their problems. The stu-
dents expressed their needs to
the Board. As a result, progress
took place more rapidly. This is
why the yearbook staff, along
with you, chose as their theme
"Progress," because we have seen
so much of It In the past three
or four years.
Thank you Mr. Douglass.

He says he finally selected the
Oconee publication for second

each had to work with.

and am now positively assured
that It is "The World's Greatest
Charity."
I spent quite some time doing
research on Savannah and Geor-
gia and came up with some facts
that all of us should be mighty
proud of.
First and foremost, Georgia is
the founder of the Blood Trans-
fusion process that is now used
all over the world. This was in
1937. The Rh factor that was
prevalent in the so-called "Blue
Baby" and cost the lives of 95
out of 100 of these was analyzed
and the treatment discovered
here In Georgia. Now because
of this 95 out of 100 "Blue
Babies" are saved.
I have positive confirmation
of these two facts as well as the
following Georgia and Savannah
"firsts":
1. All tropical and semi-
tropical fruits now grown in
North America were first culti-
vated here In the latter part of
the 16th Century.
2. In 1874, the first State De-
partment of Agriculture was
started here.
3. The top clinic in the entire
world for the treatment of in-
fantile paralysis is at Warm
Springs. Georgia.
4 Oldest U. S. Orphanage was
born here in Savannah In 1740
and is still functioning.
5. In 1736, the first Protestant
Sunday School was started here.
I could go on and on with
Georgia and Savannah "firsts"
but for the sake of brevity will
cut this subject short and go on
to the comparative costs of living
in New York City versus Savan-
nah.

Isn't it about time that the Civil
War was forgotten and why
publicize it on every possible
occasion in all Georgia news
media?
Several days ago, two Japanese
students visited our fair city.
They were wined and dined and
a big fuss was made of them in
all news media. If we can forget
Pearl Harbor and the mutila-
tion of American soldiers when
captured by the Japanese so
quickly, why harp on the Civil
War of so many years ago?
Let's forget it and try to re-
member a house divided is a
detriment in any shape or form.
You never hear of the Battle
of Bunker Hill, The Boston Tea
Party, and The Ride of Paul
Revere that the state of Massa-
chusetts should be so very proud
of. and maybe this is the reason
it is such a strong industrial
state.
Recently. I listened to a speech
by an official of "Lockheed.
Georgia" which is the largest
airplane manufacturing com-
pany in the world at Marietta,
Georgia. They are suffering from
a shortage of engineers very
badly and when he tries to bring
them down here from the North,
the reply is always the same,
"We don't want to live in the
South." They act as though they
think all Southerners run around
in their bare feet.
I blame this on all Southern
news media and the public rela-
tions departments of Savannah
and the state of Georgia for not
telling America in no uncertain
terms what a wonderful state
Georgia is and the City of Sa-
vannah is second to none in our
beloved country. I have visited
and spent time in very many of
the large cities in our country
and I know whereof I speak.
So, Savannah, I love you, but
please come out of your coma
and do something about it.

How You Can Show Individuality
And Ho More Interesting
By Jerome Quarterman
No matter who you arc or
where you are from, you can
siiow your individuality and at
the same time be a more inter-
esting person. Well, I know what
you would ask me now. HOW?
This can be done by learning
how to live more and how to be
different from others.
Here are five suggestions:
FIRST OF ALL. GET OUT OF
THAT ONE TRACK MIND. A
student who can talk only about
his major field, rely upon his
textbooks for everything and not
do any thinking for himself, nor
read a wide variety of books,
only talk about sex unintelli-
gently in the small group all
these are examples of students
who are in a personality rut.
There are many persons who
could be more useful and more
interesting if they would allow
themselves to try and appreciate
others.
As students you can develop
other interests, This can be done
by joining social organizations
and clubs. For example, on the
college campus there are frater-
nities, sororities, and other
clubs. Go to conceits, plays, lec-
tures and take part in group dis-
cussions whether in or out of a
classroom.
SECONDLY, BE INDIVIDUAL-
ISTIC, BUT NOT SUPERIOR.
At various social gatherings, the
person who is stimulating is usu-
ally different. This should not
be done in the "show off man-
ner" because it may irritate per-
sons. Remember, our friends do
not have any objections to "dif-
ferentness" nearly so much as
they have to the attitude of su-
periority that so often goes
with it.
THIRDLY, ALWAYS BE PRE-
PARED TO CONVERSE. As
Longfellow said, "A single con-
versation across the table with a
wise man is better than ten
years' study of books." Read the
various magazines, the daily
newspaper, up-to-date articles
in the encyclopedias, so you will
have something to talk about.
Never discuss an esoteric subject
or something you know only a
bit of information about. Get a
general knowledge on a lot of
items so you will be able to dis-
cuss them among others intelli-
gently. The encyclopedia is one
of the best sources for getting
a general knowledge of a variety
of items.
FOURTHLY. MAKE OTHERS
FEEL IMPORTANT DURING A
CONVERSATION. Basically, this
can be done by paying strict at-
tention to what is being said.
Remember the most important
items that have been stated.
Here you will be able to ask
questions and propose new ideas.
LASTLY. WHIN IN A COS-
VERSATION BE NATURAL,
CHEERFUL AND TRUTHFUL.
When in a discussion never bring
up your worries and other per-
sonal problems. No one wants to
hear them. No one will expect a
complete recitation of your
backache, headache, or stomach-
ache.
Develop a cheerful, positive
approach to a conversation. One
who never contributes anything
to a conversation is usually bor-
ing to the others. When speak-
ing learn to control your voice,
pronounce words effectively and
be at ease.
In any conversation, always be
truthful, for if you tell the truth
every time you will never have
to remember what you said be-
fore.

Camping:
Past and Present
By Clemontine Freeman
When referring to camping
one immediately thinks of living
out-of-doors.
Because man's existence de-
pended upon his ability to se-
cure his basic needs from nature
he developed an appreciation for
his surroundings. From nature
he was able to secure food,
clothing, shelter and protection
from wild animals. History of
our civilization tells how man
was able to make use of the
world in which he was living.
America has always been
known for its great campers.
Before the white man arrived,
the land was inhabited by the
greatest of all campers, the
American Indians. Because of
an understanding of the out-of-
doors, man is still making use
of some of the ancient methods
today.
As cities grew and industrial-
ization came about man lost in-
terest in the out-of-doors, moved
to the city, and looked for
greater things. Even though man
no longer depends upon nature
for all of his needs he felt the
urge to return to the out-of-
doors.
Since then camping has grown
extensively. Each year millions
of Americans enjoy their sum-
mer by camping individually, in
small groups, as a family or they
attend organized camps.
Our interest in camping has
brought about the establishment
of day and residential camps for
American Youth. These camps
give the youth a variety of ex-
periences, such as hiking, boat-
ing, firecraft, knotcraft, nature
study and axmanship.
The American Youth Hostels
have played a great role in help-
ing youth develop an interest in
outdoor living and love of the
world around them.
In order to promote camping
the American Camping Associ-
ation has set up members in all
From the
Editor's Desk,
Did you ever think of traveling abroad, but lack the money
to finance the trip? If so, here is an opportunity to do so through
the Jobs Abroad Program. This is a non-profit membership
organization joined by a common purpose: to secure paying over-
seas jobs for students and teachers during the summer, or any
time of the year.
According to Francis Gordon, publisher of the Jobs Abroad
Magazine, this program was launched less than five years ago and
has been moving at such a rapid pace that the only thing that
could be done was to keep the operation moving smoothly and
efficiently.
During the next four years the program was expanded, because
more European employers wanted to hire students.
Who joined? According to Mr. Gordon, "people very much like
you." Some students who are anxious to go abroad, but can't afford
to travel as tourists. They need a paying job to cover their expenses
while in Europe,
Others were people who could easily afford to travel in Europe,
but they were interested in something besides filling up a photo
album. They wished to know people, not just places.
"We try to place everyone according to his wishes. We can
place you. too," Mr. Gordon states.
Have you ever contemplated traveling abroad but lack the
money to finance the trip? Try your luck with Jobs Abroad. This
could be a wonderful experience.

as the young. Camping is fun.

What Is Your Reaction to the
Present Situation in Viet Nam?
By Johnny Davis
Willie C. Smith:
At this very moment American
soldiers are dying in Viet Nam
in order to preserve the rights
of freedom of speech; freedom
of religion; freedom of the press;
and the right to select the lead-
ers that all the people will favor.
I sincerely believe that the
United States' role in Viet Nam
is a valid and meaningful one,
for I am sure that even the
greatest critics of the present
administration would prefer to
fight communism in Viet Nam
rather than have to fight com-
munism in their own com-
munities.
R. Antionette Battiste:
The Viet Nam situation is
pitiful. I can see no hope and
no progress thus far. The United
States has high hopes for some-
thing that might happen in the
next decade.
Jacquelyn E. Mack:
The happenings in Viet Nam
are so sad and disheartening
that I shudder to think of the
senseless killings of our Ameri-
can soldiers. I pray that it will
soon be over, although I can see
no immediate end to the war,
Thomas Clark:
I think the situation in Viet
ASK A STUDENT
Nam is terrible, however. I think
we are there for a very im-
portant purpose. I don't think
the United States should move
out. I think we should use our
power to its capacity. What I
mean by that is if it takes
bombing Hanoi to end the war
I thmk the United States should
do it. The United States should
send more troops if that's what
it takes to help end the situation
or war in Viet Nam.
By Walker Durham
Do you think that SSC should
develop an honor system? This
is the question that I asked
some of our students. I inter-
viewed others and wrote down
their reactions to the above
question. For those who do not
know, an honor system is one in
which students pledge to be hon-
est while taking an exam or
doing other class work even
when the instructor is not pres-
ent. "How could you think of
such a question?" said one young
lady I don't think she would
make it under an honor system,
One young lady said, "making a
pledge to an honor system would
be my last pledge." I take it she
means if nothing else works. "I
feel that the only honor system
which should be allowed to de-
velop in a college is one based
on work done and personal
achievement, closely supervised
by instructors; this includes the
area of testing," These were the
words of an anonymous person.
I don't know why he does not
want his name mentioned; he
speaks very well. Some students
that I talked with said that an
honor system would never work.
However, it works in other
schools. Whether it will work or
not, I guess, depends on the kind
of students you have.
Look what Omonde Lewis said
about it: "I think an honor sys-
tem should come about gradu-
ally here at SSC, A program
such as this initiated 'overnight'
would probably be disastrous to
the honesty and integrity of the
student body. They are, for the
most part, unacquainted with
the demands and qualities of
such a system and would prob-
ably utilize it for another ave-
nue to 'get by.' Let the system

come gradually with a period of
orientation," Well, that's Omonde
Lewis for you, "In many aspects
an honor system would help the
school system and make the stu-
dents more mindful of being
honest with themselves and
others." These were the master-
ful words of Corine Capers.
One student said that even if
an honor system is established,
there would be some students
who would not stick to their
pledge. How right he is! Some
people are not honest even with
a pledge. Bettye Small said, "I
personally think that an honor
system here at SSC should not
even be questionable. However,
if it is worked gradually into the
school system it is possible that
good results would be the out-
come." I didn't know Bettye
could say that much. "In my
opinion, it would be an advan-
tage to the students and the in-
structors to establish an honor
system at SSC. The students
under an honor system could
build their morals and gain a
greater sense of adulthood. The
instructors could then rely on
the saying that 'honesty is the
best policy'," James Scott is the
composer of those words. The
following statement is the one I
like most. This young lady said,
"Some instructors make it so
hard to pass that an honor sys-
tem is out of the question." Now
that was well said. I have to
agree.

Clothes, from season to season,
vary in color. More and more.
colors which you choose, are be-
coming the most individual thing
which can be done for your look.
Clamour magazine says that
the colors that you wear con-
stantly, that you surround your-
self with, that your hand reaches
for instinctively are an uncanny
guide to your personality.
Your ravoi'ite colors? There is
more to it than that, Some peo-
ple have one favorite color,
others have several. The most
common favorite colors are blue,
red, yellow and green, Few peo-
ple claim orange or purple as
their favorite colors. Some peo-
ple like no colors, <Are you an
all-beige, all-pale girl? This may
mean great subtlety or refusal
to commit yourself.) Some peo-
ple, on the contrary, like all col-
ors indiscriminately, good, strong
and mixed together. This means
that you are positive and many-
faceted; perhaps too many
faceted,
Reference for an uncolor color
is a color choice, too. People who
like black and white together or
separately, have become tired of
the kaleidoscope and settled for
the qulntessenttals.
Suggestive and Emotional Colors
There is a rough rule which
gives key characteristics: If you
like blue, you are cool and col-
lected; red, a firebrand; gray
suggests the mature and wise;
and beige, a warm heart. But
there are variations. There are
shade intensities of colors that
evoke far different emotions
than the parent colors in the
color family. Red is vibrant, but
baby pink, maroon, something
else again. Blue is serene, but
there are intense vibrant blues
that are as passionate as scarlet.
Your color profile depends
partly on your color-family pref-
erence and partly on the kinds
of colors you like within the
families.

drivers and others who appreci-

have been waiting for has
finally come. Yes, the auto suit
is here. This is no return suit
from the past; its new all the
way and there is nothing like it.
It has been said by the lead-
ing men fashion magazines that
the emergence of the auto suit
designed in Italy by Baratta
specifically for motoring is here
to stay for a long time. The
high - closure double - breasted
front has a minimum of overlap
to avoid excess bulk. The jacket
is cut with a higher than usual
armhole to give the driver the
maximum of movability and the
side vents are cut almost to the
waist to insure comfort while at
the wheel. The additional styling
innovations include wide peaked
lapel, flapped slash pockets
placed just beneath the chest
and lower slash pockets placed
directly below. There are no hip
pockets on the trousers. (See
Esquire May 1966, page 136.)
In years past, by some
mysterious decree, everyone
thought of summer straw hats
as being either boaters or
Panamas which were to be
donned on Memorial Day in ex-
change for the winter felts. No
more. Now the decree has
vanished and one can wear a
wide variety of straw hats be-
ginning whenever weather per-
mits. Check your clothes or hat
store, they are in, I'm sure. Let's

LIBRARY WEEK CELEBRATION
Awards Given;
Recipients Thankful
The distinguished American
Poet, Melvin B. Tolson, opened
the celebration of National
Library Week on the Savannah
State College campus, with a
lecture in the College Library on
Sunday, April 17, at 5 P.M.
Born in 1900 In Moberly.
Missouri. Melvin Beaunorus
Tolson was educated at Fisk,
Lincoln, and Columbia Universi-
ties. One of his long poems,
"Dark Symphony," won a na-
tional poetry competition con-
ducted by the American Negro
Exposition at Chicago in 1940.
Four years later his first book,
RENDEZVOUS WITH AMERICA,
was published. In 1947 he was
named Poet Laureate of Liberia
by that republic's President.
William V. S. Tubman, who later
decorated him with Liberia's
highest award, the Star of
Africa. For the Liberian Cen-
tennial and International Ex-
position in 1947, he was com-
missioned to write the LI-
BRETTO FOR THE REPUBLIC
OF LIBERIA H953i; a section of
this poem was published by
POETRY i Chicago t in 1950.
POETRY also awarded Mr. Tol-
son its annual Bess Hokin Prize
in 1951 for his poem "E. & O. E."
and published his poem "The
Man From Helicarnassus" in its
40th Anniversary Issue of
October 1952, which contained
only solicited works. Mr. Tol-
son's latest book. HARLEM
GALLERY: BOOK I, THE
CURATOR 1 1965) is the first
volume of a longer work, now
in progress, the theme of which
is to be the history of the Negro
in America.
In June 1965 Mr. Tolson re-
tired as Professor of Creative
Literature at Langston Univer-
sity in Langston, Oklahoma,
where he had been a member of
the faculty since 1947. There he
not only directed the university's
Dust Bowl Theatre for many
years but also served four terms
as mayor of the city. For the
academic year 1965-66 he oc-
cupies the Avalon Chair of the
Humanities at Tuskegee Insti-
tute. Mr. Tolson and his wife
have four children.
When Dr. Tolson was honored
on the occasion of his retire-
ment as Professor of English at
Langston University last June,
Karl Shapiro journeyed to the
campus to praise Tolson's con-
tribution to American letters.
Had Robert Frost still been alive,
he too would have been present,
for he had expressed a desire
to honor Dr. Tolson at Langston.
Allen Tate, John Clardi, and
Stanley Hyman are also among
Dr. Tolson's admirers.
Among his many achieve-
ments, Melvin B. Tolson was
given an honorary doctor of
letters degree from Lincoln Uni-
versity in Pennsylvania. Last
fall he had the distinction of a
request to read selections from
his work before an invited
audience in the Library of Con-
gress.
All Savannah poetry lovers
were invited to hear this dis-
tinguished man of letters.

Awards Given
The staff of Savannah State
College Library presented awards
to two outstanding American
librarians during National
Library Week.
In a letter to Eric Moon an-
nouncing the award, E. J. Josey,
Librarian of Savannah State
College indicated that "The Sa-
vannah State College Library
Staff feels that your rapid rise
in the Bowker Company to the
Board of Directors is a clear in-
dication of the kind of leader-
ship that you are giving- to one
of the oldest and great publish-
ing houses, dedicated to service
for the library profession. Not
only have you advanced li-
brarianship through the position
as Editor of Library Journal, but
you have signally sensitized the
library profession to many of its
neglected obligations, including
the democratization of the
American Library Association,
and pointing up many un-
explored areas of librarianship
that are not problems but golden
opportunities."
Mr. Moon has had an illustrious
career. He came to Library
Journal from Newfoundland,
where he had been director of
public library services for the
Province and secretary-treasurer

FRESHMAN DAY PROCLAIMED AT SAVANNAH STATE
By Ina Rozlcr, Class Reporter
"Freshman Day" was pro-
claimed at Savannah State Col-
lege at the morning Chapel
Service on Sunday, April 24,
when approximately 75 freshmen
worshipped in a body.
The Reverend Samuel Wil-
liams spoke from the theme
"Faith and Destiny." Reverend
Williams contended that Dietrich
Bonhoeffer. the German Theo-
logian who provided stimulus for
the present "God is Dead Move-
ment" would be horrified by the
use now made of paragraphs in
his writings. Bonhoeffer wrote
of the world that had "come of
age" and said, "it is becoming
evident that everything gets
along without God, and just as
well as before. As in the scien-
tific field, so in human affairs
generally, what we call 'God - is
being more and more edged out
of life, losing more and 'more
ground'." All that he says needs
to be understood in the light of
such words as these: "The God
who makes us live in this world
without using Him as a working
hypothesis is the God before
whom we are ever standing. Be-
fore God and with Him we live
without God. God allows himself
to be edged out of the world and
onto the cross."
According to J. C. Bennett,
President of Union Theological
Seminary, there is a baffling
paradox here, but it would be
false to Bonhoeffer to break the
paradox and leave us with a suf-
fering Jesus apart from the God
of the world.
Reverend Williams also gave
three views of faith and how
one's faith affects one's destiny.
These three views of faith were:
(1) uninformed. (2) informed,
and (3i regenerate faith. He
concluded by saying that what
the world needs most today is a
regenerate faith.

The honor system was the sub-

talk became heated, the profes-

Mrs. Farnese Lumpkin, assist-
ant professor of fine arts, and
himself, "Approach professional

"Somebody once said that a
man is known by the company
he keeps. As I look at the names
of the other winners of this

both delighted with the company
and flattered that you should
place me in it.
"Let me add also that I am
pleased to be here in your com-

a friend but, in my view, one of
the most courageous librarians
in the country. We have fought
side by side in the past, and will
doubtless do so again. Somebody,
most certainly, should give him
an award."

Chemistry Dept.
Celebrates Career
Day on April 13
By Jannie Singleton
The Savannah State College
Department of Chemistry cele-
brated its annual "Chemistry
Career Day" Wednesday, April
13. The activities began with
registration of all participating
junior and senior high school
students and advisors.
The theme of this year's pro-
gram was "Chemistry Careers on
Parade." The purpose of the
annual event is to present to the
students the varied opportuni-
ties opened in the expanding
field of chemistry in today's
technological world.
John E. Lang, a junior chem-
istry major from Savannah,
Georgia, was chairman of the
event. In his message to the 135
registered students Lang stressed
the belief that the mind has no
limitations except those we
acknowledge. And it is character-
istic of the true chemist not to
acknowledge limitations. For
here in the Chemistry Depart-
ment irrelevant and minor ex-
cuses are not given nor accepted
among the chemistry majors
and staff members.
It is not wished that everyone
enter the profession of chem-
istry for the field would then
become overcrowded, but it is
hoped that those who select this
field fully realize all the re-
warding and frustrating
moments encountered in chem-
istry. It is through never ending
persistance that advancements
and achievements are gained.
A student entering this profes-
sion must be inclined emotion-
ally to face any downfalls and
be academically prepared to
overcome them. "For an edu-
cated man knows how to acquire
anything he wants, or its equiva-
lent without trespassing on the
rights of others," Lang stated.
Preparing a simple meal for
four, says the February Reader's
Digest, involves at least 53 oper-
ations, ranging from laying a
fire to putting out the silver.

SSC Designated As Test Center for
National Teacher Examinations
Savannah State College has
been designated as a test center
for administering the National
Teacher Examinations on July
16, 1966. Charles S. Wilson, Di-
rector of Testing, announced.
College seniors preparing to
teach and teachers applying for
positions in school systems which
encourage or require applicants
to submit their scores on the
National Teacher Examinations
along with their other credentials
are eligible to take the tests. The
examinations are prepared and
administered by Educational
Testing Service, Princeton, New
Jersey.
The designation of Savannah
State College as a test center for
these examinations will give
prospective teachers in this area
an opportunity to compare their
performance on the examina-
tions with candidates through-
out the country who take the
tests, Wilson said.
At the one-day session a
candidate may take the Com-
mon Examinations, which in-
clude tests in Professional Edu-
cation and General Education,
and one of the thirteen Teach-
ing Area Examinations which
are designed to evaluate his
understanding of the subject
matter and methods applicable
to the area he may be assigned
to teach.
Bulletins of Information de-
scribing registration procedures
and containing Registration
Forms may be obtained from
The Office of Testing and Guid-
ance, Savannah State College,
or directly from the National
Teacher Examinations, Educa-
tional Testing Service, Box 911,
Princeton, Now Jersey. Prospec-
tive teachers planning to take
the tests should obtain their
Bulletins of Information
promptly, Wilson advised.
Grant for Books
Keyed to Reading
By Charles Smalls
Savannah State College has
been authorized a grant of $1,-
852.50 by the Southern Associa-
tion of Colleges and Schools to
purchase a number of paper-
back books.
The grant, which is financed
by the Fund for the Advance-
ment of Education, an affiliate
of the Ford Foundation of New
York City, will enable SSC stu-
dents to read paperback books
on an honor system basis. The
project is designed to "encour-
age the readership and owner-
ship of pleasurable books by dis-
advantaged young people and
adults."
Acting in accordance with
rules drawn up by the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools for the selection and dis-
tribution of the paperback books,
a committee of two faculty mem-
bers along with six students
selected 559 titles in the humani-
ties, sciences, and social sciences.
Of the 559 titles selected by the
committee. 1,092 multiple copies
of certain titles of the 1,824
titles listed by the Educational
Improvement Project will be
made available to students.
The eight member committee
includes E. J. Josey, college li-
brarian and associate professor;
Mrs. Madeline H. Dixon, catalog
librarian and assistant professor;
Lillie M. Kyles, a senior English
major; Marva DeLoach. a junior
mathematics major; Mrs. Minnie
T. Merrit, a senior English
major; Charles Smalls, a senior
language and literature major;
Willie C. Smith, a senior biology
major; and James P. Sapp, a
senior social science major.
According to a resolution by
the 8-member committee, the
books will not be processed as
"library" books. They will be
housed in the College Center and
loaned out on an honor system
basis; that is, the students will
check the books in and out with-
out supervision with the under-
standing that a student must re-
turn a borrowed book before he
can check out another.
The committee will be respon-
sible for the replenishing the
book rack with new titles and
reporting the frequency of
usage regarding the type of
preferred book as well as giving
some indication of reading
preference according to sex.

THE TIGER'S ROAR
May 31. 1966
Your Student Government Speaks
As we experience the closing
weeks of this academic year,
there is seemingly a common
tendency to look back over the
months to glimpse alms, achieve-
ments, efforts, failures, and de-
velopments.
While considering these fac-
tors, the year appears to have
been somewhat of a lengthy na-
ture, particularly when we think
back to times of hardships, af-
fliction and tribulations; yet
when we look and listen to those
accomplishments made and
spoken of, time then becomes
comparable to the velocity of
sound.
The above is true not only for
some of us as individual stu-
dents, but also for organizations
In which we take part the Stu-
dent Government Association Is
no exception,
However, In spite of the vari-
ability on the appearance of
time's length, the Student Gov-
ernment wishes to thank you for
the support received from the
student body during the past
academic year. In addition, we
would like to entreat the next
President and his Cabinet, the
Vice President and the Student
Congress (all of which comprise
your Student Government) to
succeed and exceed the present
Government and its endeavors
to establish the type of Student
Government that will represent
the Student Body in the most
beneficial fashion. The present
structure of the Student Govern-
ment was designed with such in-
tentions. As the Government has
been expanded and the consti-
tution is being rewritten, the
SGA is becoming affiliated with
more active national and re-
gional Student Associations, and
formats and methods for passing
bills and suggestive memoranda
are being adopted, we challenge
the Student Body to give even
more support to its Government-
Student Government is not an
easy task. For this reason there
are certain bills presently in leg-
islation on campus, designed to
provide compensation for your
student leader and to afford him
with more time and to provide
your government with more
working power. It is hoped that
these bills, if passed, and every
other bill passed will receive your
fullest compliance.
Again we thank you and so-
licit your support for our re-
maining term in office and for
the term of the next Govern-
ment.
I wish to express my personal
thanks to all for your cordiality
while I have held what can
sometimes become a difficult po-
sition. Considering the coopera-
tion I have received, I am in-
clined to say that the position
and its leadership experience
served me well and I hope and
trust that my contributions have
been more than comparable.
"Where To
From Here"
By James Robert Smith
There comes a time in every
man's life when he must face
society eye to eye. This is good,
but the question still remains:
is he prepared? This question is
being asked by man every day
stretching from one side of the
globe to the other. Is man pre-
pared to accept the challenges
and opportunities that society
has to offer? This question can
only be answered by man alone.
Every individual must be able
to evaluate himself and see
whether he is able to meet life's
challenges.
In reference to the graduating
class of 1966, I would like to
know whether we have stopped
and asked ourselves whether we
are prepared to accept tomor-
row's challenges. Education is a
continuous process, but man
must be able to educate himself
both mentally and physically.
Our college careers are coming
to an end and we must be pre-
pared to face society's challenges
eye to eye.
The time that we have spent
in college and the learning
process that we have indulged
in is gone now, never to be re-
captured again. Now is the time
when we must put our educa-
tional abilities to work. We must
have something to offer to
society.
Graduating class of 1966, I
dare you to accept tomorrow's
challenges. As we leave the
campus of Savannah State Col-
lege, we may never see each
other again. Nevertheless, if we
are able to meet again during
life's journey, we should be able
to discuss the challenges that
we faced in life and say whole-
heartedly that we made a
success.
"WHERE TO FROM HERE?"
This question should ring in the
ears of every graduating senior
not only at Savannah State Col-
lege, but in the world. Some of
us may shout for glory and say
that it is all over, but stop and
think, because it is only the be-
ginning. Man lives in an ever-
changing world dominated by
the split and fused atoms. There-
fore, in order for today's gradu-
ate to be prepared to cope with
tomorrow's world, he must
always have the urge to learn
a little more.
Fellow graduates, yes! we are
all happy. We are happy because
we are about to face a turning
point in our lives. We are happy
because we are getting away
from books and pencils, class-
rooms, teachers, studying, etc.
We are happy because we are
about to face the wide world.
Some of us are going to teach,
while others are going to con-
tinue their education. Some of
us are going to meet out mili-
tary obligations, while others
are going to work in the various
industries and laboratories over
the country. Some of us are
going to marry and be house-
wives, while others are going to
go into the fields of dentistry.
medicine and divinity. I could
name on and on and would never
encompass all the many and
varied occupations and chal-
lenges that each graduate is
going to face. As we go in our
separate ways to accept life's
challenges and face society eye
to eye, I ask each of you to put
forth your best efforts and burn
high and bright the knowledge
and educational experiences that
you gained within the walls of
Savannah State College.
As we face tomorrow's world,
we must hold our head up, walk
straight forward, work dili-
gently, and act circumspectedly
so that we may be able to say
that we are ready to face society
eye to eye. We must be able to
say that we are ready to accept
life's challenges. Then fellow
graduates, I can indeed say: A
JOB WELL DONE.

for we seek the "tie that binds"
us all in a common goal that
of offering service to better
mankind.
By William Martin
In less than a month the
senior class of Savannah State
College will play main roles in
the opening scene of a drama
that begins with a baccalaureate
and commencement service. The
dialogue for the script has been
written over the years of their
pursuit or search for knowledge.
For some this will be their final
appearance, while for others it
will be the first of a series of
scenes and plays to come. This
baccalaureate and commence-
ment scene is only a minor one
when compared to the roles they
are about to try out. The question
is, are they prepared?
All would be well if playwrights
Shakespeare, or George Bernard
Shaw could write the future of
each member of this class; for
the end of this drama could very
well be that "They lived happily
ever after." But this is reality and
each member of the class must
determine for himself what role
he will play and how well it will
be played.
Having given this thought, I
bid each member God's blessing
and success in his role playing.
The stage is set; the cast is
present and the curtains are
about to be drawn. And remem-
ber there are no small parts in
any drama, only actors with
like Eugene O'Neil, William small minds.
VISTA Seeks College-
Trained Volunteers
The action arm of the War on
Poverty known as VISTA seeks
college-trained persons to spend
a year of their lives in a battle
against the economic despera-
tion that still grips more than
35 million Americans.
Most of the Volunteers In
Service to America are young
in the 20-to-24-year-old age
bracket and of these, more than
75 percent have attended col-
lege. VISTA has found that its
college-trained Volunteers have
the resourcefulness and ability
to fight poverty in its worst
pockets for low pay. bedrock
subsistence allowances, and the
satisfaction of doing something
for somebody else that no one
has done before.
To join VISTA, a Volunteer
must be at least 18 and a citizen
of the United States. He can be
over 80 and nobody questions
how much over. After a Volun-
teer is accepted, he is trained
intensively for a period of weeks
and then dispatched to a spot
where poverty has sunk deep,
often generations-old roots.
Working under the general
guidance of a local sponsor, most
frequently with a minimum of
supervision, the Volunteer dis-
covers that his job is usually
whatever he cares to make it.
The job is to relieve the hurt of
poverty; how much he can re-
lieve it in a year is up to the
Volunteer.
For this, the Volunteer receives
$50 a month which is banked
for him until his year is up a
bare subsistence allowance, and
free medical and dental care.
A Volunteer may be sent to
Alaska to work with the poverty-
strieken and isolated Aleuts on
Kitska Island. Or a young woman
Volunteer may find herself
living in a six-sided hogan on
a Navajo Indian reservation in
Arizona where she uses her col-
lege training to teach Indian
children who had no teacher
before she came.
Other Volunteers are found in
the migrant farm worker camps
of California, Oregon and
Florida. Still more have been
sent back into the hard-hit areas
of Appalachia and others work
with the mentally ill and re-
tarded.
The Volunteers spring from
virtually all backgrounds, trades,
professions and skills. Their
reasons for joining VISTA are
as varied as the walks of life
from which they came. There are
846 of them with teaching ex-
perience and 564 have been
trained in social welfare, soci-
ology, guidance and counseling,
and other social sciences.
There are those from construc-
tion and technical backgrounds
and still others with experience
in agriculture and farming.
Another 177 come from the
medical and health fields. And
among its Volunteers VISTA has
seven lawyers, four medical
doctors, four dentists, and 19
registered nurses.
The best sign of friendship is
a smile.
"Education is not 'received'
It is achieved!"
If you are always right, you're
a bore!

Ask the Women
By Walker Durham
In talking with some young
ladies the other day, the dis-
cussion came up concerning the
behavior of some of our men
students here at SSC. We talked
especially about their behavior
at the talent show which was
held here on campus. "I thought
the fellows carried on awful the
other night," one young lady
said. "I think they were very
stupid clowning the way they
did," said another. I hate to
down my sex, but its true.
In my opinion, the conduct of
the male students here at SSC
needs to be improved. Not only
at talent shows, or other activi-
ties on campus, but in general
campus life. The men students
want to be called men but they
do not act the part. Some of the
fellows may think they are
making a big hit with the girls.
but they just don't know. I know,
because I talk with the girls. As
far as that old gag about "having
fun," that's out. It is quite
possible to have fun without
letting everyone on earth know
you are having it. The girls may
lau^h, but oh how they talk
afti .vards. A polite and well
mannered man means much
more to a girl than a clown.
Berneta Smith said, "The one
thing that the men on Savannah
State College campus do not
seem to realize is that they are
'college men' and should conduct
themselves accordingly." I go
along with that. "I think most of
the young fellows on campus
carry themselves in a loud
manner. They don't know how
to respect a woman at all." Who
said that? Ann Habersham,
that's who. "I think they carry
on awful. They act like high
school 'kids'," said Juanita
Washington. Here is a nice one
by Marilyn Jackson. "The ma-
jority of the fellows on this
campus act like kids. It seems
as if they are trying to impress
someone, but they are not doing
a very good job of it." Joann
Miller states that "There are
some men students who have
good conduct, and there are
some that do not." Well I guess
that's saying it real quick.
"The minority of the men that
I am around are very manner-
able. At least they respect me.
Of course we do have those who
are on the other side of the
fence." Those were the words of
Marilyn McNichols. Constance
Dunwoody puts it this way;
"There are some young men who
are well mannered, and know
how to treat the young ladies.
On the other hand, there are
some who do not know how to
treat or respect young ladies."
It might be interesting to the
fellows to find out how she
wants to be treated. Here is a
statement from one of those
Scott girls. "I think the 'Boys'
on campus are very unmanner-
able and very childish." Which
one? Audry Scott. Here is a
statement from JaRene Person
that sums it all up. "The men at
SSC have a tendency to let their
ignorance predominate them
where their intelligence should
exist." As it might be stated,
that's a very good observation.
Take heed men.
Sweetheart of
The Month
By Walker Durham
The final sweetheart for this
school term is that most charm-
ing and attractive Yvonne Le-
Count.
Yvonne is a native of Rice-
boro, and attended the Public
Schools of that city.
Here at SSC she is a Junior
majoring in English. She has
recently been elected Miss SSC
for the 1966-67 school term. She
has also reigned as Miss Junior,
and is a member of the Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority. All hail
the Queen, for she is a pure
picture of beauty.

As the academic year draws
to a close the Savannah State
College Home Economics Chapter
reflects some of the highlights
of its program for 1965-66.
One of the many interesting
experiences was the report from
representatives to the Executive
Council Meeting. It was our first
time Home Economics majors
felt the pulse of what's happen-
ing in the college chapters over
the state.
On campus the department
has participated in many college
functions and received recog-
nition on many occasions. Two
of the campus queens for the
annual homecoming were home
economics students.
The Spring Quarter is always
a time of challenges and excit-
ment for Home Economics
seniors. Senior Textile Clothing
majors are getting "on the job
experience" in the departmental
stores and are finding it most
rewarding. The Foods and Nutri-
tion majors are meeting a com-
munity need by providing help
and experience for the Day Care
Centers and Kindergartens of
Chatham County.
Club meetings have been alive
as members of the college family
inform, encourage and challenge
the students to read and listen
to reports of National and Inter-
national work among the de-
prived people of the world. Such
insights have motivated the
Chapter to include in next year's
budget a contribution to the
AHEA International Scholarship
Fund.
SSC's Home Economics Chap-
ter has recently become affili-
ated with the Georgia Home
Economics Association. The as-
sociation has proven to be a
challenging experience for mem-
bers.
Carol Reese. Evelyn Ellison and
Lillie Morris were representatives
to the convention at Calloway
Gardens. Several other members
were present and our Chapter
Advisor.
The theme, "Action For Ad-
vancing" was successfully car-
ried out.
We feel that Home Economics
as a profession is inspiring and
satisfying.
POETS CORNER
To the Senior
Class of 1966
By Deloris Moss
Dear Seniors of Nineteen Sixty-
six,
This poem for you I just had
to fix,
Thank you for the kindness that
has been shown through
the years,
Now that you are leaving SSC.
I will shed many tears.
But your parting will be a happy
one
Because your work at SSC is
done.
Do not think that all work has
come to an end.
Please remember, it is only about
to begin.
Do not give up when life gets
rough,
Show people your best is not
enough.
When you have done far past
your best;
Through life's hard trails
you've stood the test.
Although you may travel far,
far away,
I'll probably read in the paper
one day, (It will read)
You did succeed; you attained
success,
Then my heart and others will
be filled with happiness.
GOD BE WITH YOU

By Juanita Wright and
Dorothy Jordan
For your summer travel the
accent is basically on time and
not place in planning your travel
wardrobe. How you dress for
where you are going is not as
important as how you dress for
the occasions.
Glamour magazine says all
over the world people dress more
or less the same way at the same
hour of the day for the same
kind of places. However, the dif-
ferences in the way you dress
depend on where you go city,
mountain resort, or beach. Once
you've planned a basic wardrobe
for each, it won't change much
no matter what city, mountain
resort or beach you go to any-
where in the world.
Remember, how much you
pack will depend on your stay.
So off you go for summer have
fun!
-If for Girls"
If you can hear the whispering
about you
And never yield to deal in whis-
pers, too;
If you can bravely smile when
loved ones doubt you
And never doubt, in turn, what
loved ones do;
If you can keep a sweet and
gentle spirit
In spite of fame or fortune, rank
or place,
And though you win your goal
or only near it,
Can win with poise or lose with
equal grace;
If you can meet with Unbelief,
believing,
And hallow in your heart, a sim-
ple creed,
If you can meet Deception, un-
deceiving,
And learn to look to God for all
you need;
If you can be what girls should
be to mothers',
Chums in joy and comrades in
distress,
And be unto others as you'd have
the others
Be unto you no more, and yet
no less;
If you can keep within your
heart the power
To say that firm, unconquer-
able "No,"
If you can brave a present shad-
owed hour
Rather than yield to build a fu-
ture woe;
If you can love, yet not let lov-
ing master,
But keep yourself within your
own self's clasp.
And not let Dreaming lead you
to disaster
Nor Pity's fascination lose your
your grasp;
If you can lock your heart on
confidences
Nor ever needlessly in turn con-
fide;
If you can put behind you all
pretenses
Or mock humility or foolish
pride;
If you can keep the simple,
homely virtue
Of walking right with God then
have no fear
That anything in all the world
can hurt you
And which is more you'll be a
Woman, dear.
A friend, indeed, is one not in
need.
What is wisdom? Only the
desire to pursue it.

Intelligence Not
Fixed at Birth, but
Firs! 5 Years Vital
We can make kids smarter.
But we have to work fast
That's the view of University
of Illinois psychology professor
Dr. Joseph McVicker Hunt. In an
interview in the May Reader's
Digesl Dr. Hunt writes. "We
might raise the average level of
intelligence during the next
generation or two by 30 points
of I Q, provided we reach the
children early enough."
Contrary to the old view thai
intolliumre is fixed at con-
ception, we now know that a
child is endowed only with an
intellectual potential, Dr. Hunt
writes He has to learn how to
learn.
This process usually takes
place dining the first four or
five years of life. Environment
plays a leading rule "Children
brought up in homes where they
are played with and exposed to
a wide variety of sights and
sounds develop more fully than
children brought up In institu-
tions where they are deprived of
these advantages," he writes
To provide the advantages,
parents should give their infants
a wide variety of things to hear,
see and handle. Simple devices
boxes, pots and other household
objects are just as good as ex-
pensive toys for the purpose
Freedom plays an equally vital
role, says Dr. Hunt Children
should be free to "try out the
world, to walk, climb, jump,
manipulate and throw things."
"He also needs affectionate
adults who provide a responsive
audience, answer his endless
questions, serve as models for
imitation, and ask him questions
that he must use language to
answer."
By providing the opportunities
for children to learn, parents
can help raise the child's intelli-
gence and contribute toward a
society in which Intelligence is
higher than any of us may think
possible.
In comparing accident rates,
you realize that horses have
more sense than drivers.

Local Action on
Stimulant Drugs
During the past year a marked
increase in the illegal use of
hallucinogenic and stimulant
drugs throughout the nation,
particularly around educational
institutions, has been reported.
Both students and members of
the faculty are being secretly
approached to engage in halluc-
inogenic "experiences." There is
direct evidence of widespread
availability of a number of drugs
which have profound effects on
the mental processes. I wish to
alert all educational administra-
tors to the gravity of the situa-
tion and to enlist their assist-
ance in combatting an insidious
and dangerous activity.
We are faced with a most
hazardous situation. Unless
strong concerted action is taken,
an untold number of our stu-
dents may suffer permanent
mental and physical injury. Any
instances of the illegal use or
possession of these drugs or
sleep-delaying drugs, such as
the amphetamines, should be re-
ported at once to the Food and
Drug Administration district
office. You may wish to institute
other appropriate measures, such
as an inspection program,
laboratory supervision, or special
counseling.
The Food and Drug Adminis-
tration, in Washington and in
its district offices, is ready to
cooperate with you to the fullest
extent. Feel free to send us any
questions you may have and any
information which will aid in
eliminating the illegal use of
hallucinogenic and stimulant
drugs.
Florida Academy

CLUB &
CAMPUS
FASHIONS
By CHIP TOLBERT
ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR
THE TRANSITION TO SPRING gradually releases us all from our
musty Winter hang-ups. The state-of-seige atmosphere on campus
diminishes as the thermometer rises, and overnight that term paper
you've been dreading falls into place. Spring is also the proper time
to think about shifting you*' wardrobe in the direction of the warm
weather months ahead...
LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY-CARE: these the
watchwords in tailored apparel. Crisp, cool fab-
rics with built-in wrinkle-resistance and/or per-
manent press features are now standard. The
color story for Spring focuses on BLUEGRASS,
a blend of vibrant blues and sparkling greens.
It should rank as a top color consideration in
selecting all your Spring/Summer apparel. A
pin wale-cord suit, for example, in a lightweight
cotton/polyester blend, or a classic Natural
Shoulder seersucker suit in a BLUEGRASS
blend are excellent choices. Lightweight, double-
breasted blazers will introduce a whole new
spectrum of colors. But before purchasing, look
ahead: is this a summer geared for absolute
relaxation, a summer job, or, if you're graduat-
ing, your entry into the business world next
Fall? Make your selection accordingly.
"AWAY FROM WHITE" That phrase eharae-
terizes the gradual phasing out of the classic
white dress shirt. Today, color predominates,
and blue leads the pack. Look also for a wide
range of soft pastel shades, both solids and
stripes; they blend perfectly with the new
Spring suits. Many of these color-toned dress
shirts incorporate permanent press features.
Another trend worth noting: the button-down
collar sans buttons. Collar points are slightly
longer, the buttons disappear altogether, and
the buttonless button-down may be worn with
or without a pin.
ACCESSORIES MAKE THE MAN, and you couldn't get off to a
better start than by selecting one of the new Summer straw hats.
Time was when Memorial Day marked the date for turning in your
winter felt and bringing out your summer straw. Today, any time
the weather's right, the time is right. The classic boater with its
flat top, relatively narrow brim, and colorful ribbon band remains
a top choice among college men. The panama with its characteristic
crown ridge has been modified in size and will appear in both closed
and open weave meshes. Though light, off-white and natural tan
shades predominate, you'll see a number of new color variations,
including a pewter gray milaii with its characteristic center crease
and pinched front.
As the 1965-66 academic year
conies to a close people, in the
sports world continue to set rec-
ords. Below are the latest statistics
released by the National Associa-
tion of Intercollegiate Athletics:
Hunter Edwards, William
Carey (Miss,), slipped 12 points,
but still is batting a hefty .593,
which is the top average this
week in the National Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA).
The senior shortstop has col-
lected 35 hits in 59 times at bat
to retain the lead he gained two
weeks ago when he was batting
.605. Runnerup Bob Sutton,
Frostburg State (Md.), the only
other player above the .500 mark,
owns a .528 average.
There is a tie for third place
between Roy Couch, Texas
Southern, and E. D, Turner, St.
Andrews Presbyterian (N. C).
Each owns a .489 average.
Only one hurler, Gorman
Johnson (2-0) of Maryland State,
has a perfect earned run aver-
age. Johnson has not allowed
an earned run in 21 2/3 innings.
Five pitchers boast perfect 5-0
records and nine others are 4-0.
Those with 5-0 marks include
Bill Drummond, Buena Vista
(Iowa); Ed Parker, Guilford
(N. C); Kevin Soden, Belmont
Abbey (N. C.f; Dennis Lind-
strand, Sam Houston State
(Tex.), and Joe Stover, William
Carey (Miss.).
William Carey (13-2) leads in
team batting with a .348 aver-
age, seven points better than
Panhandle A & M (Okla.) (11-3).
Augsburg (Minn.) (6-3) has the
best team fielding average, an
impressive .980, seven points
better than last year's fielding
leading West Georgia.
Doyle Lyman. LaVerne (Calif.),
has hit 8 home runs in 18 games
to lead this category in percent-
age, but two other players have
hit 9 homers. They are Elby
Bushong, California Western and
Jim Rawls, LaVerne.
One of the longest games in
NAIA history was reported this
week. It took Peru State (Neb.)
20 innings Tuesday to turn back
Hastings (Neb.), 4-1, and to
make the situation even more
difficult, it was just the first
game of a doubleheader.
Sports
Outlook
With
Lewis Witherspoon and
Frank Ellis
Since this is my last article, I
am going to pay tribute to a
great group of people who work
together as a team to bring SSC
recognition in the world of track
and field. I am talking about
Coach Richard Washington and
the thin cladmen of SSC track
and field team. Within this
closely knitted group you can
find the spirit of a true Tiger.
The fact that the members of
the team are participating be-
cause they want to, and not be-
cause of financial assistance is
all the proof I need to justify
my statement, that these people
truthfully and emphatically
exemplify that great SSC spirit.
Since taking over the job of
coaching the team, Coach Wash-
ington has entered the team in
such track and field meets as the
Florida Relays, the South Caro-
lina Relays, and the meet that
is held at Tuskegee annually.
In talking to Coach Washington,
he stated that "this was done in
order to give the fellows a
chance to compete against some
of the top competition In the
area of track and field." In doing
this, Coach Washington antici-
pated the idea that It would im-
prove their performance against
the teams of the S.E.A.C. As
Coach Washington suspected, the
team's performance did improve
and they proved it by winning
the conference championship.
This year the tide changed and
SSC scored in every event except
the broad jump and the high
jump to edge the former cham-
pions out by a score of 70-64.
Well, so long sports fans. Re-
member: KEEP PULLING FOR
THE TIGERS.
SSC Begins Driver
Education (lass
Under the leadership of Mr.
Clyde W. Hall, Director of the
Division of Technical Sciences,
Savannah State College is offer-
ing an inservice workshop in
Driver Education from June 13
to August 12 for Georgia's public-
school secondary teachers.
This workshop is sponsored by
the Georgia State Department
of Education and each partici-
pating teacher will receive a
Grant-in-Ald from the State
ranging from $150 to $450 de-
pending upon his quarter hour
credit load. This money was pro-
vided by a legislative enactment
of the last Georgia General
Assembly.
The purpose of the workshop
is to provide an opportunity for
public school secondary teachers
to qualify to teach driver edu-
cation. Each participant is ex-
pected to serve a portion of his
time next school term teaching
driver education to secondary
pupils.
Wherever there is injustice,
you have the opportunity as well
as the obligation to right a
wrong.

Members of the education
workshops at Savannah State
are in the final stages of com-
piling and editing a bulletin
which will be published at the
end of the term.
Featured in the bulletin will
be the results of research con-
ducted by the teachers in con-
junction with course activities.
The class is divided into three
groups. The members of the
groups work closely to gain In-
sight into the various problems
which confront the classroom
teacher.
The groups used many meth-
ods to compile their initial find-
ings. Some of the methods used
were forums, lectures, demon-
strations, and films. Final re-
ports will be made during the
last week of the session, before
the publication of the workshop
bulletin.
Mrs. Jewell F. W. Dunlap, a
Jones County, North Carolina

Speaks at 94th
Commencement
Dr. Charles H. Wesley, President
and Executive Director of the

190 graduates at Savannah State
College's 94th commencement
exercises, Sunday, June 5, 1966.
In Willcox Gymnasium at 3 P.M.
Dr. Wesley's chosen topic was
"Dynamic Living in an Aging
Revolution."
Dr. Wesley pointed out the
three phases of revolution, the
revolution of knowledge, the rev-
olution in population, and the
revolution of freedom. He cited
these revolutions and said that
this Is the first time in history
that the cry of freedom is going
on all over the world.
Dr. Wesley advised the gradu-
ates that "We must be more
than mechanically trained. You
must translate the processes of
the classroom, laboratory and
library Into power for purpose-
ful living in life."
He also stated that you must
be one who never turns your
back, we have the duty to exer-
cise the rights which are to be
ours, but true freedom must be
earned.
Dr. Wesley said, be assured
that your color is not against
you, abandon the concept of in-
feriority because life is made to
be overcomed.
"Learn to hold your head high,
not as an inferior, but as an
American.
He also stated, "Dream but do
not let dreams become your mas-
ter."
Dr. Wesley asserted that we
live in a world where workman-
ship is required. He advised the
graduates to exercise imagina-
tion, and believe in achievement,
take with you imagination and
work.
He also stated that your work
is unfinished, beyond this is the
university of life. Let us be
strong, and live dynamically in
the age of revolution.

Science Teachers
Expect Much
From Institute
By Samuel E. Murray
The thirty-three elementary
science teachers who are en-
rolled in the Institute sponsored
by National Science Foundation
are looking forward to gaining
vital and useful information, sci-
entific skills and techniques
which will be beneficial to them
when they return to our school
system in the fall.
Many of the members, with
their varied background in sci-
ence education, have different
objectives in view. Some of the
members are striving to become
certified to teach elementary
science. Others are looking for-
ward to becoming more skillful
in the use of scientific instru-
ments and equipment that are
being put to use in our elemen-
tary science laboratories for the
first time. Still others have not
been exposed to any chemistry
or physical science that we feel
should be a part of our educa-
tional program in this never
ending quest for knowledge.

Did you get that problem?
What was your answer to num-
ber 6? Anybody understand
what he said? Questions such
as these are frequently heard
during the morning coffee break
taken by the participants in the
Secondary Science Institute,
which is under the direction of
Dr. Willie Tucker.
The participants welcome the
break that follows a seventy-five
minute lecture period where
topics on the nomenclature of
inorganic compounds, and the
structure of matter has been
studied, and where topics on the
Kinetic -Molecular Theory, the
liquid and solid states, the peri-
odic table, chemical bonds, and
chemical equilibrium are sched-
uled for future lectures.
After the half hour break, all
return to Room 110 in the Payne
Building for group discussion on
the topic covered in the pre-
vious lecture. Occasionally dur-
ing this period films are shown
which pertain to the various
branches of science.
The afternoon program con-
sists of a daily math class under
the direction of Mr. J. B. Clem-
mons. and a lab on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday super-
vised by Mr. Clay. Tuesday and
Thursday are free for individual
conference with the instructors.
Education is not confined to
the classroom alone, so future
field trips have been planned,
including a trip to Florida
which will take in St. Augustine,
Marineland, and Silver Springs.
Several prominent guest lec-
turers have been Invited to
speak to the participants in the
various fields of science.
Mrs. Orestha C. Hardy, Lanett,

State Consultant
Gives Address
To Workshop
A State Department of Edu-
cation Science consultant,
George Sturgis, told education
workshop personnel that "one
demonstration is worth a thou-
sand words" in accomplishing
the objectives of science edu-
cation.
Sturgis advised the teacher to
"get away from reading (assign-
ments oral in class) and to let
students find out for them-
selves."
The audience was made up of
the education faculty in addi-
tion to in-service teachers en-
rolled in various education work-
shops now in session at SSC.
"The heart of each teaching
experience is demonstration,"
Sturgis asserted. In keeping with
this philosophy, the science con-
sultant went on to show just
how these demonstrations and
experiments might work in a
typical classroom situation.
Students were called upon to
pretend they were third grade
pupils. Sturgis set about to show
how the subject of magnetism
might be handled in that grade
level.
Throughout the lecture-dem-
onstration "third grades" were
called upon to play the roles of
molecule conductions, and in
general to assist with the ex-
periments.
Earl Marshall, a science
teacher from Perry High School,
showed what could be done with
these components. He presented
an array of gadgets made from
the simplest projects.
Tobor pointed out that the
items on hand ranged all the
way from "prisms to sheep."
One Georgia College moved an
old army barracks to their cam-
pus and remodeled it into a
$370,000 dormitory.
In some instances schools
have obtained refrigeration
equipment, power machinery and
cafeteria equipment,

Spotlight on
Beauty & Fashion
By Margie Bryant and
Joan Wright
Hi, Girls! Ready for another
beauty hint? Well, what's your
problem? Summer is here and
it is time for another beauty
hint. It is true that the weather
is hot and stuffy, but there are
many practical, cool, casual and
carefree styles that will make
you attractive to your favorite
beau.
This season short hair styles
are softer with more wave,
movement and swing, as opposed
to the very straight or tight
look. According to Richard of
Helena Rubinstein, "the hair
that is free and has motion is
ideal for summer fun." All you
have to do is follow these two
rules: First, select your style on
the basis of your hair texture,
each one is cued to coarse, nor-
mal or fine hair. Second, treat
yourself to a really professional
cut short, simples styles depend
on expert scissorwork for shap-
ing and coaxing of the hair. It
is nice if your hair possesses
body, but remember, teasing is
optional. Your hair style should
be back combed just a little, but
not really tease.
Barbara Factor says "scarf up
... if you plan on going on a
trip. The best way to do this
would be to get matching scarf
and outfit; in that way you're
not only keeping with the styles,
but you're protecting your hair,
if it has a tendency to go
straight or curl up during these
hot summer days." This is a
unique way to stay your loveli-
est for your favorite beau. Sim-
ply wear it by placing it over
your hair and then tying it be-
hind your neck or under your
chin.
Newspaper's Use-
Unlimited!
By Audry Scott
The value of a daily newspaper
is almost unlimited . . .
Just think of the many ways
in which a newspaper can be
used. A number of examples
come to mind instantly:
Lining garbage pails, shelves,
drawers, etc
Providing Rover with on-the-
fioor facilities.
Starting a fire. If you roll it
up, tie it, soak it with water.
and let it dry, you can also make
a good log for the fireplace.
Swatting flies, bugs, and other
undesirables.
Copying dress patterns by out-
lining existing patterns, or cre-
ating new designs.
Covering rugs and floors after
a waxing or cleaning.
Making spit-balls, particularly
good for the more juvenile ele-
ments,
Wrapping valuables for stor-
age in basement or attic.
Covering objects that you don't
want the neighbors to see in
your garbage can.
Creating airplanes, gliders, and
boats.
Stuffing glassware and other
breakables for crating when you
move to another home.
Tearing and shredding it for
canary, mice, hamster cages.
Making funny hats for parties.
Using it as drop cloths when
painting the ceiling or shining
shoes, or for protection when re-
10.

Everything you say and do is
l confession about yourself.
To keep your mind clean,
change it once in a while.

Math Department
On the Move
By Mrs. Sylvia E Bowen
The Mathematics Department
is on the move and the move is
upward. Each member is pres-
ently engaged in ardent tasks to
fulfill a dire need for better
achievement and improved
methods of disseminating math-
ematic information.
The summer school students
have had the rich experiences
of direct contact with members
of the staff. They have the op-
portunities to learn the opera-
tion of the 1620 computer, and
receive instruction about the
slide ruie. The in-service teach-
ers from many sections of the
country are exposed to the very
modern approaches in mathe-
matics as well as to new materi-
als and references directed
toward the trends and chal-
lenges in this area.
The staff of the Mathematics
Department includes: the chair-
man of the department, J. B.
Clemmons, who is acting a dou-
ble role of teaching mathemat-
ics to elementary and secondary
school teachers and is serving
placing a light bulb demands you
stand on a clean table or chair.
There are, indeed, a great
variety of uses for the news-
paper, and you can probably add

India, is expected to be on leave
In the ensuing year. The depart-
ment will miss his vitality.
A special highlight in the de-
partment is the significant
chance in academic status of
Mr. P. A. Jackson, who was
awarded the Ph.D. degree In
June from Boston College, where
he Is employed for the summer.
The department anticipates with
enthusiasm Dr. Jackson's return
in September.

Do You
Just Belong
By Audry L. Scott
Are you an active member,
The kind who would be missed?
Or are you just contented
That your name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings
And mingle with the flock?
Or do you stay at home
To criticize; and knock?
Do you take an active part
To help the work along?
Or are you satisfied
To just belong?
Are you a member booster.
Or just one with a kick
Who leaves the work to just a
few
And talks about the clique?
Are you a dying ember
Or a flame that's bright and
strong?
Are you an active member,
Or do you just belong?
Joe Christian, Jr., graduate of
South Carolina State College, is
Director of Auxiliary Enterprises

You can't change your color;
you can change your mind.

eral demonstrations in the sec-
ond seminar of the Science In-
stitute.
The demonstration was on a
three unit project that had been
conducted previously with school
children. In the project the
children made Individual scien-
tific studies of atomic energized
seeds obtained from Oak Ridge,
Tennessee. The purpose of this
unit was to find mutation. These
findings are of extreme impor-
tance as aids to under developed
areas over the entire world.
Another unit project Sister M.
Anlcetus demonstrated was how
human beings grow through

ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR
SUMMER STANDS POISED on the edge of campus, ready to rush
in and fill the void as classes, exams, and term papers come to their
appointed ends. For Summer '66, your wardrobe will accent the
colorful and the casual. Here are a few pointers on what to take
along when you split the academic scene.
BASKETBALL BEACHWEAR? why not? we
already have the classic "boxer" short. This
season one important swimwear trend derives
from the basketball courts. The style is moder-
ately trim-fitting, and its trademark is side
vents. New sport-oriented color combinations
take precedence: look for white cotton trunks with navy binding
down the sides and around the legs; navy trunks with beige trim,
and maroon trunks with navy bindings.
"BY THE SEA, BY THE SEA, by the beautiful sea..." Do you re-
call those colorful cardboard plaques with a cut-out hole to pop
your head through to be photographed in a legitimate 1890's beach
scene? Do you remember the hilarious beachwear fashions of our
Victorian grandfathers? Well, modified versions of the same are
back, and for sheer fun in the sun, they're unbeatable. Look for
bold, striped, stretch cotton knit outfits. Shirts feature a Henley
neck, while the usually matching stretch swim trunks reach half-
way to your knees. Bold belt treatments, adjustable side tabs, and
fully-lined shorts are all part of this "new" fashion. "Dipping,
anyone?"
BELTED BRIEFS, bold colors, and trim lines
cut from stretch fabrics may be more to the
typical college man's taste. Husky brass and
silver buckles complement broader belts. Colors
are hot and bright: vivid blue-green blends,
vibrant reds, yellows and oranges, and an end-
less variety of stripe and border treatments.
C.P.O.'S FOR SUMMER. The Chief Petty Officer shirt, along with
bell bottoms and the classic Navy pea jacket, are three major
fashion contributions of your local Army Navy store. The pea
jacket is reserved for winter wear (though its double-breasted
idea carries over in many of this summer's colorful blazers > . Bell-
bottoms are already a summer staple, and this season will see the
C.P.O. shirt introduced for warm weather wear. Chief C.P.O.
characteristics: they're blue, non-button-down, and have two
flapped pockets in front. Many models feature epaulettes. Look
for them in cotton, brushed denim and polyester blends in both
long and short sleeved models.
RAINBOWS OF COLOR mark this season's
soft, cotton sweatshirts in a wide variety of
styling variations. Color to your taste in peach,
pink, red or coral, lime, orange, copper or
bronze, burgundy, lavender, or smoky charcoal.
Styles include the traditional crew neck with
long sleeves, V-necks, turtlenecks and mock
turtles by the score, some featuring short-sleeved styling. Boating
parkas in water repellent nylon will mostly be seen in bold com-
petition stripes. Hot horizontal or vertical stripes in, for example,
white, yellow or red, complement body colors in Navy, blue-green
blends, and burgundy. And don't overlook bell bottoms in blue
stretch denim, poplin jackets with a front zipper and a drawstring
bottom, and India madras walking shorts.
THE SANDS OF TIME swirl through the hourglass, and another
academic year bites the dust. Now it's time for sandy beaches, skin
diving, water skiing, and sailing. However you select to spend your
summer leisure, make the most of it, and with luck we'll both be
back next Fall with the scoop on Back-to-College fashions. See
you then.

Chemistry Dept.
Receives Fund
Charles Pratt, head, depart-
ment of chemistry, has an-
nounced that the chemistry de-
partment has been given an
interest free loan fund by the
Kindle Foundation for Educa-
tion of Westwood, New Jersey.
This loan will begin on Sep-
tember 1 in the amount of
$8,000. It will support two stu-
dents a $1 .000 a year for four
years of college.
The foundation provides the
necessary funds for a student to
attend college. The loan is pay-
able after the student's gradu-
ation at the rate of 10 per cent
of the student's salary.
The loan was obtained through
the Charles Pfizer Chemical
Corporation in conjunction with
the efforts of Nelson R. Freeman,
dean of students at Savannah
State College.
Electronic Driving
Simulators at SSC
The Edex-Aetna Drivotrainer
Teaching and Traveling Exhibit
appeared at the Technical
Science Center of Savannah
State College August 1 and 2.
This Exhibit was in a semi-
trailer which is on a national
tour of colleges and universities
with driver education programs.
There were six electronic driver
education simulators in this
trailer which were operated by
the public. These simulators were
designed to teach the beginning
driver how to drive and they are
the latest development in driver
education. The public visited
this Exhibit and drove the simu-
lators.
Scientific Paper
Charles Pratt, head, depart-
ment of chemistry and Odessa
Williams, student research as-
sistant, will present a scientific
paper on the study of the auto-
degradation of the digestive
enzyme, pepsin.
This paper will be presented
August 16 before the Botannical
Society of America, at the Uni-
versity of Maryland, College
Park, Maryland. Dr. Pratt is a
member of this society.
Miss Williams has found that
the commercial preparation of
pepsin automatically degrades
itself into nine different frac-
tions. Only one fraction which
she designated as number seven,
remains active for the degrada-
tion of other proteins.

100 Students Benefit In
Upward Bound Program
By Marva L. DeLoach
June 19 was the beginning of
an exciting and adventurous
journey into the realms of edu-
cation for 100 students who had
just been promoted to eleventh
and twelfth grades. They moved
to the Savannah State College
Campus; unloaded their bags
and suitcases; then joined to-
gether in an hour of music, en-
tertainment and refreshments.
The summer session of the Sa-
vannah State College Upward
Bound Project was celebrating
its grand opening!
That unforgettable day is in
the past now, it has taken its
place on the historic record of
Upward Bound Project and
another historic, but sad day is
fast approaching, This day is
August 12, 1966, the end of the
eight weeks summer session.
There is a consolation, however;
a follow up program on Saturday
is to begin on September 17 and
will last through May 27, 1967.
Perhaps you've asked what's
so great about school and edu-
cation, especially during the
summer months when everybody
is supposed to be vacationing.
Well, there are some 100 young
people around and about Chat-
ham County who will say "every-
thing" when there's a good mix-
ture of work and play. To get an
idea of what is meant by this,
take a peep at the program's
many activities: Classes started
with a "bang," instructors and
students seemed to compete with
others in experimental method-
ology.
Classes were small, therefore
lend themselves to this kind of
experimental instruction. Eng-
lish Communicative Skills
Classes have been doing a variety
of things from group reading
and discussions of great classic
literature to dramatizations.
Mrs. Abbie Jordan's classes
gave their interpretations of
"Rip Van Winkle," by use of
puppet demonstrations and
dramatizations, They are now
preparing to present several of
Shakespeare's plays, including
"The Taming of the Shrew."
"Othello" and "Henry VIII
i eighth > ." Mr, Jack Fowler's
classes got into the swing also.
They presented skits such as
"Over the River and Through
the Woods" and "The Snake."
Mr. Tyson's classes have been
using tape recorders and audio-
visual aids as a means of im-
proving their speech through
self-evaluation. A recent visitor
from the local OEO Office said
that Mr. Robert Holt's method-
ology was the "most inspir-
ing and ingenious Instruc-
tional device" for motivation of
group discussion that she had
ever seen. The very same can be
echoed about the classes of Miss
Virginia Hudson and Mr. Robert
Stevenson.
To add to the enrichment In
the Mathematics Division, Mrs,
Martha Wilson offers a course
in Computer Programming.
Mr. Charles Day, a tutor-
counselor, conducts a slide-rule
class in the afternoons. Thanks
to Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Bowens,
Mrs. Singleton and Mr. Leon,
Mathematics moved from the
more simple skills to the com-
plex. New horizons have been
opened and explored.
The Great Issues classes are
by no means lagging. They have
discussed many controversial
topics. In connection with their
studies of "Roles of Government"
and "Urbanization," Miss Ada
Simpkins gave a lecture on prob-
lems of housing and urban re-
newal; and in connection with
their study of the United Na-
tions, she gave another inspiring
lecture on "Enforcing the Peace."
Mr, Johnson's. Mrs. Dean's and
Mr. Robert's classes have all en-
joyed discussing such topics as
"Citizenship: the Rights and
Duties of a Citizen" and debat-

ment of fine arts. The courses
involved are Fundamentals of
Music and Public School Music
for Elementary School Teachers,
These courses carry three
hours credit.
In the first half of the session
a class of forty juniors and
seniors concentrated on learning
the basic construction of music.
These constructions included
lines and spaces, clef signs, key
signatures, major and minor
scales, time signatures, primary
and secondary intervals, kinds
of notes and miscellaneous
patterns.
According to Dr. Braithwaite,
time is devoted to the develop-
ment of actual music skills
needed in the elementary school
classroom, One of the most im-
portant activities is the making
of rhythm instruments each
week.
Alumni Grunt Received
Howard Jordan. Jr., president
of Savannah State College an-
nounced that the Savannah
State College National Alumni
Association presented a check
for $4,000 for scholarships and
grants-in-aid at the college.

A Trip to the Savannah
River Atomic Laboratory
Annual. Journalism
Workshop Hold
By Dr. Irving J. Weiss
The trip to the Atomic
Laboratory was educationally
very profitable. Dr. F. E. Kinard,
a physicist, gave a general brief-
ing about the plant and its
operation. The Atomic Energy
Commission awarded a contract
to DuPont Company to operate
this plant, which is concerned
with the manufacture of
isotopes. Fuel is fed into Nuclear
reactors that make irradiated
material.
Dr. R. M. Wallace, a chemist,
spoke about the chemical aspects
involved in radition and isotope
production.
One of the problems Is cor-
rosion of material. This can be
prevented by controlling the PH
concentration.
Separation and extraction can
be accomplished by using organic
solvents to get recovery of
uranium and other radioactive
elements. Some of the research
had to be performed in massive
buildings with walls 12 feet
thick.
Further research in organic
chemistry and the chemistry of
the actlnlde elements were
necessary in order that im-
proved methods of separation
could be effected. One of the
functions of the Chemistry Di-
vision is to make an analysis of
the material.
Mr. Boersma was our guide
through the Savannah River
Laboratory Building. The group
was instructed to don plastic
shoes to prevent contamination
and wear goggles. The first room
the group entered was a high
level radioactive cave. Tech-
nicians had to use remote
manipulators to perform chem-
ical operations.
In the glass shop glass ap-
paratus was made according to
specifications of the research
chemists at Savannah River.
The analytical counting room
is used for detecting alpha, beta,
and gamma rays by an infra-
red spectrometer. The mass
spectrometers is used for detect-
ing impurities in liquids and
solids.
Dr. D. G. Karraker spoke about
rare earth chemistry. Using a
fluorescent light he demon-
strated color changes in euro-
peum (redt and terbium (green).
In another room alpha radi-
ation was detected with the aid
of a Geiger counter
Before leaving the group
checked out for any contamina-
tion with radiation. The trip was
a very rewarding experience
scientifically.
Art Education
At Savannah State
Phillip Hampton, assistant
professor of fine arts, at Savan-
nah State College, announced
that the children's art project
In art education 401 was under-
taken by three student groups.
The first group introduced the
techniques of vegetable printing
to the elementary school chil-
dren.
The other groups exposed the
children to clay projects and
finger painting. Mr. Hampton
stated that those projects were
taught from an experimental
point of view to observe the
types of art that small children
responded to and the comments
that they made.

ing such issues as "Resolved
that the Russian System of
Education Is Better Than The
American System."
Under this department is a
United Nations Club, directed by
Mr. Roberts, a Current Events
Seminar, conducted by Mrs.
Dean; and a Debating Club
under the direction of tutor-
counselor, Mr. James Sapp.
Speaking of the Debating Club
it debated Morehouse College's
Upward Group on August 3, at
1:00 p.m. in the A. V. Center.
Both teams debated both sides
of the topic "Resolved That Red
China Should Be Admitted to
the U.N." There was a 1 to 1
decision on this debate. The
team is looking forward to other
such debates in future.
Looking closer at the play and
entertainment side of the pro-
gram, there have been several
social-cultural events for Up-
word Bound students. To men-
tion a few there have been
several record hops, birthday
parties, trips, basketball games
and other activities. Trips to
Marineland, St. Augustine, Flor-
Cheinislry Department
Marcus Hobbs of Duke Uni-
versity and representative of the
National Science Foundation
visited the undegraduate re-
search program supervised by
Dr, Charles Pratt and Dr. K.
Raut at Savannah State.
Hobbs came to evaluate and
discuss the undergraduate re-
search program at the college,
for the National Science Founda-
tion.
Robert Ghiradelli, representa-
tive of the U. S. Army Office of
Research visited the research
programs carried on at Savan-
nah State for the U. S. Army.
Dr. Ghiradelli came to ob-
serve the caliber of undergradu-
ate students working on these
government projects, and how
much progress had been made in
the research program. He esti-
mated the research at Savannah
State to see if there were any
possibilities for future grants
from the U. S. Army Office of
Research, at the college.
ida. the Jacksonville Zoo. and
to the historic Stone Mountain,
15 miles of Atlanta and a sight-
seeing trip of Atlanta have been
among the various activities on
the agenda. A talent show under
the direction of the special
events teacher, Mrs. Martha
Cassels was well received by all
who were present. The Upward
Bound Band under the direction
of Mr. Samuel Gill presented two
numbers and several students
gave much indication of skills
in the latest dance steps and hit
tunes. A five-piece combo per-
formed to the delight of the
audience and Ned Williams stole
the show with his magnificent
portrayal of a condemned
criminal nearing his execution
who has slowly deterloated from
mental pressures and fears.
To add more life to the pro-
gram, several movies have been
shown including "Three Worlds
of Gulliver's Travels," "The
Jackie Robinson Story," "Bye-
Bye Birdie" and "The Mag-
nificient Obsession." Other ac-
tivities included a field trip with
visits to the Coast Guard Sta-
tion, the Savannah Docks, Travis
Air Base, The Atlantic Seaboard
Shops, The Chatham County
Fire Department and the City
and Chatham County Jails.
Much euthusiasm was shown
at the track meet on July 16 and
at the Student Faculty Basket-
ball games the College-Upward
Bound Students basketball games
and on the plane trip over Chat-
ham County.
Making sure that no phase of
life was left out in this program
spiritual nourishment was in-
cluded also. The Reverend P.
Harold Gray of Asbury Methodist
Church officiated at worship
services and Dr. J. W. Wilson
rendered tranquilizing organ
music. Don't you agree that It's
true! School can be fun!

school students participated in
the journalism workship. The
scholarships for the workshop
were financed by the Wall Street
Journal Newspaper Fund. Inc.
and Savannah State College.
Wilton C. Scott, director of the
journalism workshop stated that
the workshop was organized to
provide school publications ad-
visers with information and ex-
perience pertinent to the organ-
ization and publication of school
media. This is the first year
that college and high school stu-
dents have participated in the
workshop.
B. Kendall Crane, director of
radio station WDUQ and pro-
fessor of journalism at Duquense
University, Pittsburg, Penn.
served as visiting professor and
chief coordinator of the work-
shop.
The other instructor was Miss
Gena Sullivan, the advisor for
student publications at Savan-
nah High School. She was the
coordinator of the yearbook di-
vision of the workshop.

Educational
Progress in India
By Mrs. Savita Raut
India is a country of old
civilization. It was old when the
Aryans came In from the north
about 3000 B.C. and found a
flourishing civilization already
there. Civilizations died and
were rebuilt, layer upon layer
and relics and treasures from all
of them are to be seen all over
the land. But because of lack of
enough scientific development.
India did not progress much in
the modern world.
The Republic was proclaimed
on January 26. 1950, three years
after Independence, and straight
way India set course towards
modernization and industrializa-
tion. The leader of India inde-
pendence movement was Ma-
hatma Gandhi. He showed his
interest in religion, tradition and
handicraft. Prime Minister
Nehru was always more inter-
ested in science, modern tech-
nology and industralization. In
India, perhaps as nowhere else
on earth, the ancient and the
modern ways of man still blend
together.
India wants to develop at a
faster pace not to catch up with
other advanced nations but to
give its people the good ways to
lead a good life. The motive Is
not envy but the imperative
need to get rid of poverty Most
planning consist of application
of science problems. Conse-
quently and deliberately new and
better techniques are introduced
in the industry.
Education is one of those fields
in which India has made con-
siderable progress since inde-
pendence. Quick development of
education, was one of the dreams
of the leaders of the freedom
struggle and when the country
became free, every effort was
made to make this dream come
true.
Education in India is primarily
the responsibility of the State
Governments. The Union Gov-
ernment mainly concerns itself
with the coordination of educa-
tional facilities and determina-
tion of standards in respect of
higher education through the
University Grants Commission.
It also deals with research in
scientific and technical educa-
tion. Coordination in regard to
elementary and secondary edu-
cation is secured through all
India Councils. A working
partnership has been evolved
between the Union and the State
Governments for implementing
educational development plans.
During the Third plan period
which ended on March 31, 1966.
plan targets in respect of educa-
tion were not only attained but
More than 7.000 students have
been helped to college educations
by a program called "Dollars for
Scholars." reports Reader's Di-
gest. Started in 1957 by Fall

youngsters.
considerably exceeded. In pri-
mary education, for instance, as
against the original target of a
little over 15 million children,
the additional enrollment in
classes I-V at the end of the
Third plan was 165 million.
bringing the total number of
school-going children in these
classes to nearly 51.5 million.
The total percentage of school-
going children in age group 6-11
is now 78.5 against 62 8 at the
end of the Second plan.
For middle stage, the children
in age group 11-14 the target of
additional enrollment during the
Third plan was 3.5 million chil-
dren. But the actual target
achieved is 4.3 million. The total
enrollment at this stage is now
11 million. This brings the per-
centage of children attending
schools in the age group 11-14
to 32.4 as against 22.4 at the end
of the Second plan.
The increase in enrollment at
the secondary stage during the
Third plan has been phenomenal.
At the end of the Second plan,
there were a little over 3 million
students in classes IX to XI. This
number has risen to over 5.3
million. The total enrollment at
the University stage increased
from 732,000 at the end of the
Second plan to about 1.2 million
now.
The post-independence period
has witnessed a significant ex-
pansion in the field of technical
education. Special efforts are
being made in the Fouth plan to
enroll more and more boys and
girls. This will bring the percent-
age of school-going children in
group 6-11 to 93.1. In the age
group 11-14. the corresponding
percentage will rise. Similarly,
at the higher secondary stage
also, special efforts are made to
enroll more and more boys and
girls. A substantial provision has
been made at this stage for pro-
viding vocational courses of a
terminal character.
The educational curriculum
views physical education with as
much importance as general
education. Special attention is
being paid to the implementa-
tion of an integrated program
of physical education. This pro-
gram, named the National Fit-
ness Corps program, consists of
a basic compulsary curriculum
including minimum of physical
and cultural activities.
In order to implement this,
over 15,000 physical education
teachers have already under-
gone an intensive re-orientation
course. There is steady progress
in the fields of sports and games.
Authorities are taking steps to
spot sport talent at an early
stage in child developing it on
the right lines.
Smelly Smoking
StimulatesSiekness
When the Surgeon General of
the United States published his
report on smoking last year,
there was an immediate drop in
cigarette sales. But people have
a short memory and sales are
zooming higher than ever, a
record breaking 534 billion cigar-
ettes were sold last year in the
U S. Teen-agers particularly
have increased these sales.

Dating Habits
Revolutionize
( ACP ) From the University
of Miami comes news which may
revolutionize the dating habits
in America, says the Daily
Reveille, Louisiana State Univer-
sity.
Dental researchers there have
discovered that tooth decay is a
highly contagious disease rather
than a hereditary defect.
At first, this may seem in-
significant. However, upon closer
examination, who would know-
ingly destroy his ivory smile or
earn himself a premature set of
false teeth simply because he
had been kissing the wrong girl?
Dr. Doran D. Zinner, one of
the researchers, confirmed that
tooth decay was caused by cer-
tain types of mouth bacteria.
The dentist-microbiologist as-
serts that these bacteria are
transmitted by direct contact,
using case histories of rats,
hamsters and humans to prove
it.
A person will now need to
check a prospective date's dental
history as well as other vital
statistics. The question arises of
how this may be done without
arousing suspicion.
Zinner announced that the
best tooth decay protection
comes from the use of flourides.
Here is a positive area for dis-
crimination. Once a person
knows where his date is from,
he need merely check his pocket
guide of flouridated water sup-
plies in the United States. If
the local supply is flouridated,
then he can be sure by subtly
plying her with water.
Another method which might
prove helpful calls for a bit of
sleuthing. By staking out in the
drugstore, one could take note
of what kind of toothpaste she
buys.
With this social problem ex-
posed, one can with proper pre-
caution be sure before saying
"Pucker up."
SSC Official Criticizes
Hatch's ASC Remark
(Reprint from Savannah Eve-
ning Press, Tuesday, July 19,
1966)
A statement by a chamber of
Commerce official calling for
development of technical courses
at Armstrong State College
which would attract new indus-
tries has brought criticism from
the public relations director of
Savannah State College.
But Wilton Scott, SSC public
relations director, emphasized
that he was criticizing the re-
mark by Chamber President
Josiah Hatch "as a Chamber
member and a citizen of Savan-
nah" rather than in his SSC

Dear Aud . . .
"Experiencing your dreams is
more accurate than dreaming
your experience"
Dear Aud . . .
This is a problem that I have
been trying to solve for the
last two years, and haven't
come to a conclusion as of yet.
Please help me to solve this
problem. I'm in love with a
forty-one year old man, and I
think that he loves me also, but
whenever I speak to him about
marriage he always changes the
subject.
We have been going together
for three years now, and I do
want him to ask me to marry
him just once without me begin-
ning the conversation. Please
tell me how can I get him to
propose to me.
Worried
Dear Worried . . .
This is a problem that doesn't
need any solving. If this so-
called forty-one year old boy
friend has not proposed to you
once within the three years that
you have been going together
he is letting you know from the
beginning that he is not going
to propose to you at all. Try
going with a younger man whom
you know loves you, not one
who you think loves you and
delay the conversation on mar-
riage and I can assure you that
you will get HIM,
Dear Aud . . .
There is a certain boy in my
class that I love very much and
have been failing in this class
because of him. How can I let
this boy know I love him so that
I can begin to pass this subject.
Don't Know
Dear Don't Know . . .
If you think that by letting
this certain boy know that you
love him will help you to pass
the subject .tell him and invite
him to your house so he can
help you with your homework
and you will have the boy as well
as pass the subject.
Dear Aud . . .
All the young men around
school seem to think that I'm
the flirty type and because of
this I can't seem to get a boy
friend. How can I let them know
that I'm not the flirty type but
just the friendly type.
Helpless
Dear Helpless . . .
Stop being friendly, stick to
yourself and the first male that
comes to talk to you. give him
the impression that you like
people and I think that he will
except you as just being the
friendly type and not the flirty
type.

me ever since he gave me an
engagement ring. He has been
promising to take me to dinner
for the last two weeks and I
haven't got there yet. and when
I ask him about our dinner date

from breaking his promise and
to keep our engagement to-

keep his promise and don't let
them flatter you with kisses as

Lost Freedom
lACP) For all practical pur-
poses, the members of the U. S.
population under 21 have lost
their freedom, says the Colorado

Salado De Madarlage defined it:
"He is free who knows how to
keep in his own hands the power
to decide at each step, the course
of his life and who lives in a
society which does not block the
exercise of that power."
Are the U. S. government and
the mass media, inspired by the
chauvinistic tensions of the
American people, sacrificing the
freedom of a huge portion of
the younger generation? We
think so.

watch bands are matching.
Shoes are a definite part of the
total "look," Shoes that are
matched with purses are "smart"

plete the "total'' fashion picture.
Skirts are being worn three or
four Inches above the knee, and

CAMPUS
FASHIONS
By CHIP TOLBERT
ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR
SUMMER STANDS POISED on the edge of campus, ready to rush
in and fill the void as classes, exams, and term papers come to their
appointed ends. For Summer '66, your wardrobe will accent the
colorful and the casual. Here are a few pointers on what to take
along when you split the academic scene.
BASKETBALL BEACHWEAR? why not? we
already have the classic "boxer" short. This
season one important swimwear trend derives
from the basketball courts. The style is moder-
ately trim-fitting, and its trademark is side
vents. New sport-oriented color combinations
take precedence: look for white cotton trunks with navy binding
down the sides and around the legs; navy trunks with beige trim,
and maroon trunks with navy bindings.
"BY THE SEA, BY THE SEA, by the beautiful sea..." Do you re-
call those colorful cardboard plaques with a cut-out hole to pop
your head through to be photographed in a legitimate 1890's beach
scene? Do you remember the hilarious beachwear fashions of our
Victorian grandfathers? Well, modified versions of the same are
back, and for sheer fun in the sun, they're unbeatable. Look for
bold, striped, stretch cotton knit outfits. Shirts feature a Henley
neck, while the usually matching stretch swim trunks reach half-
way to your knees. Bold belt treatments, adjustable side tabs, and
fully-lined shorts are all part of this "new" fashion. "Dipping,
anyone?"
BELTED BRIEFS, bold colors, and trim lines
cut from stretch fabrics may be more to the
typical college man's taste. Husky brass and
silver buckles complement broader belts. Colors
are hot and bright: vivid blue-green blends,
vibrant reds, yellows and oranges, and an end-
less variety of stripe and border treatments.
C.P.O.'S FOR SUMMER. The Chief Petty Officer shirt, along with
bell bottoms and the classic Navy pea jacket, are three major
fashion contributions of your local Army Navy store. The pea
jacket is reserved for winter wear (though its double-breasted
idea carries over in many of this summer's colorful blazers I . Bell-
bottoms are already a summer staple, and this season will see the
C.P.O. shirt introduced for warm weather wear. Chief C.P.O.
characteristics: they're blue, non-button-down, and have two
flapped pockets in front. Many models feature epaulettes. Look
for them in cotton, brushed denim and polyester blends in both
long and short sleeved models.
RAINBOWS OF COLOR mark this season's
soft, cotton sweatshirts in a wide variety of
styling variations. Color to your taste in peach,
pink, red or coral, lime, orange, copper or
bronze, burgundy, lavender, or smoky charcoal.
Styles include the traditional crew neck with
long sleeves, V-necks, turtlenecks and mock
turtles by the score, some featuring short-sleeved styling. Boating
parkas in water repellent nylon will mostly be seen in bold com-
petition stripes. Hot horizontal or vertical stripes in, for ex-.mple,
white, yellow or red, complement body colors in Navy, blue-green
blends, and burgundy. And don't overlook bell bottoms in blue
stretch denim, poplin jackets with a front zipper and a drawstring
bottom, and India madras walking shorts.
THE SANDS OF TIME swirl through the hourglass, and another
academic year bites the dust. Now it's time for sandy beaches, skin
diving, water skiing, and sailing. However you select to spend your
summer leisure, make the most of it, and with luck we'll both be
back next Fall with the scoop on Back-to-College fashions. See
you then.

Dean of Students
Cited In Magazine
Nelson R. Freeman, dean of
students at Savannah State Col-
lege, was cited in the September
edition of "Pfizer Scene," an in-
ternal bulletin of Charles Pfizer
and Co., Inc., for his work in a
summer program sponsored by
Pfizer and the Urban League.
The league recruits professors
and administrators from Negro
colleges and universities and helps
to place them in leading business
and industrial firms. These sum-
mer employees, working in diversi-
fied fields, can give their students
vital information on management's
criteria for employment.
In Pfizer's ease, the program
provides the company with skilled
employees, the college teacher with
job experience, and the Negro
student with much needed data.

to the academic development of

Dean Freeman stated, "Pfizer is
in the process of seeking out

ployees and that he could play a
fairly significant part in that
search."
Freedom of Inquiry
The second reward of which Dr.
Jordan spoke was the reward of
the freedom of inquiry. "By
freedom of inquiry, I mean you
should study the ultimate ques-
tions of man's nature, his worth,
destiny, values and his kinship
with the divine. This freedom is
essential to the existence of a free
society, fur without it there is no
possibility of discovering the
ttuth which is essential to its very
existence, In our day of ferment
iind doubt arising out of the clash
of opposing ideas and ideals, if we
do not promote freedom of in-
quiry in the colleges it may die
in the world. Therefore, you, as
college students are encournged to
look at the various sides of the
problems so thai the rnnge of
alternatives may be known Before
conclusions are drawn.
"The I bird reward which the
college has for us is to provide
an environment in which you can
develop your leadership potential,
Excellence
The fourth reivard which Sa-
vannah State has for you is the
opportunity to achieve excellence.
This is the most important reward
which the college has for you.
Without this reivard the other re-
tvards lose some of their signifi-
cance. We here at the college aim
to produce individuals who seek
to excel, students with high stand-
ards, who are proficient in per-
formance, ready and confident to
take their places in the areas they
may serve. Today, as never before,
opportunities are unlimited for
those who cun and will excel.
"In just this last year a
dramatic and encouraging de-
velopment has occurred across the
Americun scene. Jobs are opening
at a more rapid rate than we are
preparing persons for them.
"Your success in preparing for
and meeting your new opportuni-
ties can be an example and an
inspiration to all youth of
America." /
President Jordan summarized
the college's rewards which "are
here for students." They are, he
said, "the development of a sound
moral and social outlook; freedom
of inquiry; development of lead-
ership ability; and excellence of
performance in all endeavors."
In conclusion. President Jordan
urged students : 'to grasp the op-
portunity you have here at this
fine institution of higher learning,
and develop your full potentialities
of mind and spirit."

EDITORIAL COMMENT
May I Credit A Book?
Several students complained to the Student Government Association
about the bookstore's policy of discontinuing credit lo students.
The bookstore manager states that this policy was discontinued
because many students fail to take care of their financial obligations
with the bookstore, after lliey are given credit. Because of this, the
bookstore has lost much money.
The Tiger's Roar is in agreement with the bookstore's policy.
However, students tvho have jobs on campus should be allowed lo
charge their books and have this charge deducted from their check.
Non-working students, it seems, should be mature enough and
prudent enough to know their financial obligations. But evidence re-
veals that many of these students fail to meet their financial obligations
even though they were able to do so at one time or another.
Let's be sensible about this matter, students. Surely you don't want
to graduate from Savannah Slate, leaving a bookstore debt behind,
as many other alumni have done.
'Write In"
Current news releases inform us that a few liberal politicians may
seek the gubernatorial office through the write-in technique.
Many people do not wish to east their voles for the lesser of the
two evils, but they wish to exercise a franchise as U. S. citizens. In
many instances this could be a matter of principles of freedom to
express oneself as he or she sees fit. Surely an intelligent Negro does
not wish lo cast his vote for those who are against federal guidelines.
These guidelines are the basics of bringing equality to all men. not
only in the deep South, but in our great nation as a whole.
The Tiger's Roar, therefore, implores you to use the Write-in
technique in the November general election.
Not the Answer
We hear it over and over the Republican plea for the voters to
elect Republicans in the interest of a strong two-party system.
The fact is, the Democratic Congress and President Johnson's ad-
ministration have chalked up one of the greatest records of accomplish-
ments in all American history.
They probably have done more for the citizens of these United
States than bus been done in any other two-year period.
In view of that record, it seems unlikely the Republicans will win
many votes with their pica for election of Republicans simply to help
rebuild the Republican opposition.
We, too. favor a strong two-party system.
But we seriously doubt the two-party system would be strengthened
through election of Republican candidates, regardless of their qualifi-
cations, just to help rebuild the Republican party.
We readily admit that, in our time, we have never seen a weaker
Republican parly, nationwide, than it has been since the 1964 election.
Bui we submit the Republican party and its leaders have brought much
of their problem on themselves.
The Democratic party has done its part toward maintaining a
strong two-parly system. The Democratic party in Wyoming and
nalionwide is very strong, indeed.
We suggest it is up to the Republican party and its leaders to
rebuild the GOP.
They might start by coming up with forward-looking, realistic
pulic :ies and programs programs designed to keep pace with our times.
The voters can scarcely be expected to support backward-looking
candidates and negative programs simply to help rebuild the Republican
party.
What is needed is a stronger GOP, made that way by strong Re-
publican candidates and positive programs, to match the presently
strong Democratic party.
Trying to weaken the Democratic party to equalize it with the
weak Republican party is not the answer.
The Place Is Here
By Hallow,
The place to make good is
where you are. The great oppor-
tunity of your life lies in the
situation in which you now find
yourself. At heart we're all
dreamers, because dreaming is
much easier than doing! We love
Mir
to think of other places, other
work, other opportunities, for "the
grass is always greener in the
other fellow's yard."
The only sphere in which your
ambition can exert momentum is
here and now. The only place you
can ever be is where you are. The
only time you can whole-heartedly
attack a job with the aims of
y benjamin
making yourself greater
present.
Until you admit that your big
chance is where you are there
won't be even a liltle chance any-
where else. Until you settle down
with the determination and initia-
tive to exemplify leadership to
humanity, you are just a loss to
yourself and world at large.
Admitting it, and practicing it,
you may soon find yourself
swamped with alluring offers to
go elsewhere. Don't ask circum-
stances to make you you make
the circumstances.

Georgia would be in a state of
turmoil because of Maddox' in-
capabilities in the political field.
Friscilla Groover Freshman
Georgia has seen much progress

people elect Maddox for Governor,
I he future progress of Georgia
would be greatly hindered from
future development.
Carolyn Walker Junior

need a progressive Georgia not
a second Mississippi or Alabama.
Diana Wyatt Freshman
Lester Maddox as Governor

human rights as being subordinate
to state rights.
He has already vowed to present
a bill to the state legislature de-
claring "Federal Integration
Guidelines" as unconstitutional if
elected governor, which would
precipitate a loss of Federal funds
to public schools.
The super conservative and
segregationist has given many
Georgia voters the illusion through
criminal tactics be can make a
mockery of law and order, as he
did at his famed "Pickrick."
The voters of Georgia have
nominated this man because of
hate for fellow Americans who
pay taxes to the same federal
bureaucracy.
If elected the militant and
verbose Lester Maddox would cer-
tainly bring about political tur-
moil, social unrest and racial
discord.
The voters must not elect a man
who is the anti-thesis of in-
telligence, leadership, and respon-
sibility that the state's highest
office warrants.
When the voters frequent the
polls in November they must vote
against extremism. They cannot
bring dishonor and disgrace to the
state. It is the responsibility of
every citizen who has a sense of
democracy to defeat this man
resoundingly.
From the
Editor's Desk.
On behalf of the Tiger's Roar Staff. I take pride in welcoming
freshmen, returning, and transfer students back to our Alma Mater.
I know that many of you freshmen have found Savannah State to
be quite perplexing at times and several of you are asking one basic
question: "Can I make the grades to stay in school?" This is a ques-
tion which you and only you can answer. Perhaps several of you have
answered: "Sure I can make the grades to stay in school." But it's
not that simple.
Making an adjustment from high school to college life, first of all,
is not a simple matter. The college orientation program reveals only
part of the transition which one must make when moving from high
school to a higher academic and social society.
Although adjustment to a new environment is one matter which you
as freshmen must confront, there still is another problem of greater
importance than adjustment. This is the problem of study.
After all, students very seldom fail in school because they are un-
able to adjust to college life. Rather it is the grades that really count.
And your study habits, in most instances, reflect your grades.
Study is essential to success in college. Because many people do
not know how to study, a study method is necessary.
A study method, first of all. is a tailor-made system which fits the
need of a student as an individual. The study method which fits one
person's need might be inefficient for another.
A planned schedule is essential for a good study method. The two
go hand in hand. Without a time schedule you'd probably find yourself
in the student center when you possibly should be reading a chapter
in history.
Not only is a time schedule essential for study, the place where you
study is equally important. If you took your history book and sat in
the lobby of a dormitory you'd soon find the atmosphere to be too
clamorous, the lobby chair too comfortable, and fatigue too difficult
to resist.
In reiteration, success in college depends mainly on how well you
study. Good study habits depend on three things: (1) a tailor-made
study method; (2) a planned schedule: and (3) a proper place to study.
The aforementioned points are criteria for good study habits. If
you have not found an effective study method, amend this one to your
own need. Good luck!

Seientism or Christian Faith
By Deloris Moss
This column is dedicated to
entering freshmen at Savannah
State College. It is written in hope
that it will benefit all who read it.
Most students entering college
are baffled about seientism and
Christian faith. Yet from our
reading and research we see no
reasons why we should. A recent
article bad this to say: There are
four words that are especially im-
portant in today's world: wisdom,
knowledge, science, and seientism.
Give yourself a test; try to de-
fine them in your mind. Can you?
If you lump them all together
under one roof it will lead to
fuzzy thinking about each of them.
What is wisdom? It's a blend
of spiritual insight with common
sense. Wisdom has nothing to do
with formal education. A man
may be illiterate and yet be wise
in his dealings.
Knowledge is what we acquire
through experience and formal
study. Wisdom is intuitive; that
is. it is inward and works itself
out without benefit of teaching.
But, knowledge is external and
must be brought into the mind.
There is a body of information
about a particular subject, we ob-
tain knowledge of that subject by
reading and studying it. As we
do. we learn and acquire knowl-
edge. The proper use of this
knowledge depends upon wisdom,
however.
Now we look at science and
seientism. Science is a word that
comes from the Latin verb, "to
know." Science is knowledge. The
loose way we often use the word
has made us think it applies only
to such fields as chemistry,
biology, and psychology. Actually,
of course, these disciplines are
more correctly listed under the
physical sciences, the natural
sciences or the social sciences.
Science professes to know truth,
and certain observations made by
scientists have been verified and
codified into laws. Pytbayoras and
Euclid, Newton and Einstein,
Adam Smith and Pascal were all
responsible for declaring laws in
their respective sciences.
But their observations, and the
declaration of what they had ob-
served to be true, prompted other
men to distort the lessons of
sciences into the tyranny of
seientism. Seientism is the fallacy

Ask the Freshmen
By Walker Durham
With a record number of Fresh-
men enrolled, SSC gets off to a
big start for the 1966-67 school
term. Taking this under considera-
tion. I thought it might be inter-
esting to know why some of the
freshmen students chose to at-
tend SSC to further their educa-
tion. Below are the responses I re-
reived on the question: Why did
you choose to attend SSC to fur-
ther your education?
Barry Ellis: 1 looked into the
academic standards of the past
SSC graduates. Also I looked into
the Bulletin of SSC and saw the
aims of the college, and it offered
what I expect to receive.
Davis Braxton: Because of the
expanding curriculum and because
of the fact that it is becoming
widely known and because of its
fine Biology Department.
Leroy Bolder: I chose Savan-
nah State because I wanted to
major in English, but I am now
undecided. I am split between
Sociology and English.
Ruthie Mae Thompson: Because
SSC's Mathematical Department
is among the best in the state of
Georgia. I am going to major in
the field of Mathematics.
Comer Mac Thompson: I be-
lieve because of the recent rise in
education standards SSC renders
exceptional opportunities, also I
appreciate the small college com-
munity where just about all
activities include the entire stu-
dent body.
Mildred Duncan: My reason for
coming to SSC is to gain a better
knowledge and understanding of
the world in which I live, in order
that I might be able to meet the
challenge of the future.
Harold Jackson: My reason for
attending SSC is a sincere one.
I feel that graduating high school
students from this county should
attend the college in their area.
Carl R. Stewart: I had many
offers from other colleges here in
the South, but I chose SSC be-
cause it is in my home town, and
if there was any learning to be
done I could do it here at SSC,
and because it is just as great a
school.
Betty Jackson: I chose SSC for
one reason, that is to further my
education. This is something that
one needs to cope with the many
changes the world has made.
Cheryl Cobharn: I chose to at-
tend SSC because as an institution
of higher learning, I think it is
a very good one. Here at State,
I think I can attain a higher edu-
cation, not that I couldn't obtain
it elsewhere, but I just like it here.

Dear Jackye,
I'm a boarding student here at
SSC and from previous experi-
ences, I much too often find my-
self on probation. The surprising
thing is. that I have never done
anything really wrong just petty
things.
However, some of my daring
dorm buddies are always into one
thing or another, yet they never
seem to get caught. Why do you
think this is so?

Dear Parole,
These days, it's not ivhaf you do,
it's how you do it. Bear in mind
that "every dog has his day"

Dear Jackye.
I have two friends who like the

been going with this fellow for
sometime, now the other friend
has been talking to him.
I don't want to lose friendship
with either of the girls but how
can I remain neutral with each
girl telling me about the other or
asking questions about the other.
In the Middle
Dear Middle.
Don't fight it, you can't remain
neutral. Either take one of their
sides, or drop out oj the picture
completely. I strongly suggest the
latter.
Jackye
Dear Jackye.
I am one of those persons who
came to college not only for a
B.S. but a Mrs. However, since I
have been here. I find it difficult
to tell the realist from the
romanticist. Can you give me some
idea of how to go about making
the right decision?
Hopeful
Dear Hopeful,
It all depends on which of the
two you'd prefer. If you re seek-
ing a realist follow your head;
if you're searching for a
romanticist follow your heart.
Either way you can't win. So stop
looking and before you know it
you will have found hint.
Good luck.

Dear Jackye,
I have a problem; every Mon-
day for some reason or the other,
I can't sleep well at night. 1 really
don't understand. Can you sug-
gest a remedy.

Dear Sleepy,
I hear lullabies arc still going
strong and sleeping pills are steady
hanging in there, but if these at-
tempts fail you'll just have to
make up your mind to avoid those

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH
Way back in 1953 I started writing this column about
campus life. Today, a full 13 years later, I am still writing
this column, for my interest in undergraduates is as keen
and lively as ever. This is called "arrested development"'
But where else can a writer find a subject as fascinating
as the American campus? Where else are minds so nettled,
bodies so roiled, psyches so unglued?
Right now, for example, though the new school year has
just begun, you've already encountered the following dis-
asters :
1. You hate your teachers.
2. You hate your courses.
3. You hate your room-mates.
4. You have no time to study.
5. You have no place to study.
Friends, let us, without despair, examine your problems
one by one.
1. You hate your teachers. For shame, friends! Try
looking at things their way. Take your English teacher,
for instance. Here's a man who is one of the world's
authorities on Robert Browning, yet he wears $30 tweeds
and a pre-war necktie while his brother Sam, a high school
dropout, earns 70 thou a year in aluminum siding. Is it so
hard to understand why he writes "F" on top of your
themes and "Eeeyich!" in the margin? Instead of hating
him, should you not admire his dedication to scholarship,
his disdain for the blandishments of commerce? Of course
you should. You may flunk, but Pippa passes.
2. You hale your eourwes. You say, for example, that
you don't see the use of studying Macbeth when you are
majoring in veterinary medicine. You're wrong, friends.
Believe me, some day when you are running a busy kennel,
you'll be mighty glad you learned "Out, damned Spot!"
3. You hale your room-mates. This is, unquestionably,
a big problem in fact, the second biggest problem on
American campuses. (The first biggest, of course, is on
which side of your mortar board do you dangle the tassel
at Commencement?) But there is an answer to the room-
mate problem: keep changing room-mates. The optimum
interval, I have found, is every four hours.
4. You have no lime lo study. Friends, I'm glad to re-
port there is a simple way to find extra time in your busy
schedule. All you have to do is buy some Personna Super
Stainless Steel Blades. Then you won't be wasting pre-
cious hours hacking away with inferior blades, mangling
your face again and again in a tedious, feckless effort to
winnow your whiskers. Personna shaves you quickly and
slickly, easily and breezily, haeklessly, scrapelessly, tug-
lessly, nicklessly, scrat.chlcssly, matchlessly. Furthermore,
Personna Blades last and last. Moreover, they are avail-
able both in double-edge and Injector style. And, as if this
weren't enough, Personna is now offering you a chance to
grab a fistful of $100 bills. The Personna Super Stainless
Steel Sweepstakes is off and running! You can win $10,000
and even more. Get over to your Personna dealer for de-
tails and an entry blank. Don't just stand there !
5. You have no place lo *ludy. This is a thorny one, I'll
admit, what with the library so jammed and the dorms so
noisy. But with a little ingenuity, you can still find a quiet,
deserted spot like the ticket office of the lacrosse team.
Or a testimonial dinner for the dean. Or the nearest re-
cruiting station.
You see, friends? When you've got a problem, don't lie
down and quit. Attack! Remember: America did not be-
come the world's greatest producer of milk solids and
sorghum by running away from a fight!

THE TIGER'S ROAR
October 18, 1966
Back from the
"Halls of Ivy"
Mayme L. Slater, a senior at
Savannah State College majoring
in Social Science attended Sum-
mer School at Harvard Univer-
sity, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Miss Slater was one of 105 stu-
dents from selected Southern Col-
leges who participated in the
Harvard- Yale-Columbia Intensive
Summer Studies Program. This
program in keeping with the trend
toward upgrading ihe quality of
education is specifically designed
to introduce undergraduate stu-
dents to the rigors and demands
of graduate study.
At Harvard the students of the
Intensive Summer Studies Pro-
gram attended classes with other
undergraduates ond graduate stu-
dents from major schools in this
country and from foreign lands.
Courses taken by the studenls of
the issp were in relationship to
their specific major or interest
area. Miss Slaler reports thai her
courses were in hislory. Much
emphasis was placed on intensive
reading and effective expression
through writing. The eight weeks
of study proved very challenging
but more important presented a
wonderful opportunity to garner
helpful and needed experiences
for growth and intellectual de-
velopment.
All wns not work however, for
[here were many extra curricula
activities of cultural value for the
student populalion of the Harvard
Summer School. In addition
special provisions were mode for
members of the Intensive Summer
Studies Program to tour ihe areas
in and around Boston; attend
plays at the Loeh Drama Center,
and concerts ot Harvard and at
Drivers Urged
To Obey Rules
More and more students are
purchasing automobiles, it seems.
Several of these motorists don't
seem to know nil the rules and
regulations which they should
adhere to in order to provide
maximum safely to pedestrians
and themselves. In an interview
with Captain Howard, chief of
security, along with information
from SSC's Student Handbook.
this interviewer has come up with
vital information which will help
motorists exercise more caution
and courtesy toward pedestrians.
Captain Howard states, first of
all, that all vehicles, on SSC's
campus, whether or not owned by
the operator, are required to
possess a registration sticker.
Examples of frequent offenses,
according to the Student Hand-
book include (1) speeding. (2)
reckless driving, (3) disregarding
officer's signals, (4) failure to
stop at stop signs, (5) parking
along yellow-painted "no park-
ing" areas, )6) driving and park-
ing on the grass, (7) driving in
wrong direction on one-way
streets, (8) passing moving cars
going in the same direction, and
creating disturbances by unneces-
sary horn blowing.
"The speed limit on campus is
limited to 15 mph," states Captain
Howard. "// motorists ivould give
the pedestrians ihe right of way,
and avoid parking in prohibited
areas, there would be less offenses
and fewer fines."

It was, according to Miss Slater,
a profitable as well as interesting
summer. She expresses the wish
that those who follow, and there
will be some, will experience as
much satisfaction and enjoyment.
It is also great to be home again,

New Professor
In Chemistry
By Odessa Williams
As the 1966-67 academic year
begins, the chemistry department
looks forward to another year of
progress.
The progress began with an ad-
dition to the staff of able pro-
fessors. Dr. Robert W. Johnson,
of Jacksonville, Florida, serves as
professor of chemistry. Dr. John-
son received his B. S. degree from
the University of Florida and his
M.S. from Purdue University. He
returned to the University of
Florida, where he received his
Ph.D. degree in 1959. Upon
graduation Dr. Johnson was em-
ployed as Research Chemist for
Ethyl Cooperation of Baton
Rouge, La where he served until
1962. He then accepted a position
as Supervisor of Products De-
velopment at Union Camp Corpo-
ration of Savannah, Georgia.
Johnson filled this position until
his present appointment at SSC.
Dr. Johnson holds membership
in several professional organiza-
tions. Among ihese are The Ameri-
can Chemical Society, Society of
Sigma Xi, Gamma Sigma Epsilon
Honorary Chemical Fraternity and
Alpha Chi Sigma Chemical Fra-
ternity.
Dr. Johnson plans to begin re-
search soon on terpines, rosin and
fluorine chemistry.
The department of chemistry is
happy to adopt Dr. Johnson as a
member of its ever growing
family. The members of the de-
partment also take pleasure in
welcoming the freshman chem-
istry majors. A reception in honor
of the freshman majors was held
on Sepiember 27, in the B. F.
Hubert Technical Science Center.
The reception was enjoyed by
everyone in attendance.
This year the research projects
will be continued and much
progress is expected.

has done additional study at the
University of Michigan.
A gran! to Savannah State Col-
lege has made it possible for the
Gordon Library to soon place
paperback books in the Student
Center. The selection of the titles
was made by a faculty and stu-
dent committee during the 1966
spring quarter. The collection of
paperbacks includes well-known
classics, popular fiction and non-
fiction.
The circulation of the books
will be based on an honor system.
A book card has been placed in
each book. A student may check
out the book by signing the card
and leaving the card in the box
provided. The book may be kept
as long as will be necessary. When
the student has finished the book
or books, he is asked to return
the book, replace the card, and
shelve the book on the rack.
It is hoped that as many stu-
dents a spossible will take ad-
vantage of this convenient method
of becoming a well-educaled
person.

Increased awareness of the struggle which the Negro now is
engaged in to attain equality is reflected in the trend of reading
of Savannah State Colle^

traced through the number of re-

Baldwin, James, Blues for

Biology Dept.
Adds New Courses
By Joann S. Richardson
The Biology Department opened
its 1966-67 school year with much
interest and enthusiasm. One new
teacher. Dr. John B. Villella, has
been added to the department. Dr.
Villella has been engaged in re-
search work for the Puerto Rico
Nuclear Center, operated by the
University of Puerto Rico, for U.
S. Atomic Energy Commission.
Dr. Villella is a graduate of Get-
tysburg College (B.S. degree) and
received the Ph.D. degree from
University of Michigan, Ann Ar-
bor, Michigan. Mrs. Margaret
Robinson has returned to the de-
partment from a two-year leave of
absence to study on her doctor's
degree. Mrs. Robinson has been
very successful in her undertak-
ings, and is now a candidate for
the Ph.D. degree from Washington
University, St. Louis, Missouri.
Mrs. Robinson will continue her
research on Savannah State Col-
lege campus, made possible
through the efforls of President
Jordan.
The addition of Dr. Villella has
made it possible for the Biology
Department to strengthen its cur-
riculum. Two new courses are of-
fered this year: Introduction to
Parasitology is offered now (fall
quarter) and Introduction to En-
tomology will be offered during
the winter quarter. These courses
are strongly recommended for the
study of medical science.
The Biology Club met Friday,
September 30 and planned its pro-
gram for the year. It will sponsor
two seminars a month. These
seminars will make possible for
students to exchange ideas on
modern biological research work.
Mr. Bernard L. Woodhouse is the
advisor for the club.
Some research work is going on
in the department. This research
is assisted by students. Dr. Grif-
fith is doing some cytological
work on avian tissue. Work on
this problem occurred also during
the summer quarter. Misses Cath-
erine Johnson and Margaret Shin-
hoster were the student assistants.
Dr. Villella is organizing his work
which will be announced later.
Mrs. Robinson will continue her
research work in the area of bot-
any. We are hoping that some of
the results of these research proj-
ects will be ready for publication
sometime during tbe year.

Peace Corps
Committee
Makes Plans
By Addie Scott
The Peace Corps Committee has
gotten under way initiating plans
for the Peace Corps Recruiters.
They will visit Savannah State's
campus November 4-7.
The Recruiters are from Peace
Corps headquarters in Washing-
ton, D. C, and their objective is
to introduce to students the im-
portance of the Peace Corps and
what they can do to help in vari-
ous areas.
Here on the campus are two
students that have been Peace
Corps Trainees.
Miss Addie Scott, Biology ma-
jor, entered training last summer
at the University of California at
Los Angeles and Mr. Paul John-
son, Music major, who was trained
this summer at the University of
Kentucky at Lexington.
These training programs were
Advance Training Programs
(ATP) for College Juniors in
which the students continue the
training session after graduation.
Below, Mr. Johnson tells of his
experiences as a Peace Corps
trainee.
"I entered the Advance Train-
ing Program (ATP) for the Peace
Corps June 25, 1966 at the Uni-
versity of Kentucky at Lexington.
1 was being trained for Food Pro-
duction and Nutrition for India.
Originally there were about sev-
enty-six (76) students in the pro-
gram from various universities.
We received $86.00 every two
weeks for living expenses. We at-
tended classes from 7 :00 in the
morning until 6:30 in the evening.
The classes included : Language
(Hindi), which lasted for 3 hours
a day; Cross Culture Study, in
which we studied the history of
India and important topics in-
volved in the United States; two
hours of Technical Study, in which
we discussed Food Production,
and Physical Education."
When asked his opinion of the
Peace Corps training program and
Peace Corps in general, Mr. John-
son replied, "Great."
Mr. Johnson plans to continue
training next June; at that time
he will receive the B.A. degree in
Music Education.

It was once stated that, "The
educated man is the man who has
mastered the most flexible of bis
tools, his own intelligence"; and if
be has done that, these other and
minor masteries are likely to come
of their own accord, so far as he
needs them. The following are
showing or have shown some of
the potentials of educated persons
in the area of business. In recent
application of their skills and
knowledge these students have en-
countered many wonderful and
valuable experiences.

rently enrolled students in busi-
ness were employed during the
summer and received valuable ex-
perience during their vacation
from school.

One of the Few
By Tommy Glass
Savannah State College is
one of the few Colleges in the
Southeast which offers degree
courses in engineering technology
and related courses.
The Division of Technical
Sciences under the direction of
Dr. Clyde W. Hall offers courses
in Building Construction Tech-
nology, Electronics Technology,
Industrial Education. Mechanical
Technology and Trade and Indus-
trial Education.
These curricula are designed to
meet the technological demands of
the space age which have forced
a reappraisal of industrial
processes and the reorganization
of educational preparatory pro-
grams.
The engineering technician has
been created by these technological
charges. He is a semi-professional
specialist who now performs tasks
which were done yesterday by pro-
fessional engineers.

FASHIONS
By CHIP TOLBERT
ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR
WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CAMPUS in com-
pus-oriented fashions this fall? In order to
provide the most authentic and authoritative
answers to that question, ESQUIRE inaugu-
rated its "Best Dressed Man On Campus" con-
tests Inst fall in conjunction with the school
papers at ten of the nation's leading universi-
ties. In short order, the official Nomination
Ballots began to flood back to ESQUIRE's
Fnsbion Department. The flood of ballots be-
came an avalanche. 4,000 were received from
one university alone, and the grand total by the
cut-off dute exceeded 30,000 ballots [
THE FUNCTION OF THE BOARD was to help ESQUIRE's Fashion
Editors determine which of the fashions leading American manu-
facturers were previewing to the industry would become an in-
tegral part of the campus fashion scene this fall. Thus, in March,
the ten winning Board Members were invited to New York City as
ESQUIRE's guests to participate in ESQUIRE's Third Annual
Back-to-College FASHION FORUM which was held at the Plaza
Hotel for more than 500 of the nation's -leading men's apparel
retailers.
BUT THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING! in the months that mu.w.
we'll discuss in detail the apparel choices of ESQUIRE's 19GG
College Advisory Bonrd. Already, many of these items are appear-
ing on campuses across the country, and, as fond memories of
summer 'G6 fade out, and the crisp autumn weather comes on,
they'll become the mainstays for the alert college man who cares
about the portrait his personal apparel presents. Next month:
slacks, sweaters, sport coats, sport shirts, C.P.O.'s, and outerwear.
See you then!

SSC Routs
Morris 35-0
By C. J. Elmore
The Savannah Stale Tigers un-
i. .red a devastating land and air
atlack to sink the Morris College
Hornets 35-0.
In ihe initial stanza the Tigers
reached paydirt three limes. Quar-
terback Felix Bell scored the first
touchdown on the 13 yard keeper
play behind some tough upfront
blocking to make the score 7-0,
Charles Fergerson added the
PAT.
Wilh three minutes left in the
first quarter. State struck for two
quick scores. The first score came
on a recovered fumble by defen-
sive standout James Brown and
on the ensuing play. Quarterback
Felix Bell carried the ball 15
yards for the touchdown to make
the score 13-0. With the buzzer
sounding the end of the first
quarter, Felix Bell threw a 35
yard scoring aerial to his half-
back Carlos Westmore to make
the score 19-0.
In the second quarter line-
backer Henry Betts blocked a
Morris punt and raced it 29
yards to paydirt to make the score
25-0. Terry Leggett caught the 2-
point conversion pass to make the
score 27-0. At the half the score
stood at 27-0.
The third quarter was mostly a
defensive struggle in which neither
side mustered a serious scoring
threat. The vaunted SSC defense
held Morris in check throughout
the entire game.
Morris quarterback Grady John-
son was thrown repeatedly for
long losses attempting to pass.
The defensive charge was led by
David Roberson with 7 tackles
and Reginald Adams with 6
tackles. Henry Belts contributed
four tackles and a touchdown for
the defense. The Carter boys and
Charles Rutland stood out for the
defense.
The consistent punting of
Johnny Abrams kept the Hornets
bottled up most of the night. He
averaged 44.4 yards on eight
boots. In the last quarter the surg-
ing Tiger forward wall blocked a
Morris punt in the end zone which
was recovered by Bobby Carter
which made the score 33-0. Terry
Leggett caught a pass lo make it
35-0. Earlier in the game Carlos
Westmore had a long touchdown
run nullified by a penalty.

Scieiitism
(Continued from Page 2)
that says. "No truth exists unless
it has been proven by scientific
methods." Scientism disavows the
possibility of the supernatural be-
cause it can't be proved. Scientism
disbelieves in the teaching of
absolutes because such teaching
is only a matter of opinion.
In an era that glorified the dis-
play of intellect as much at least,
as ours: Paul told young Timothy
to "keep that which is committed
to thy trust avoiding opposi-
tions of science falsely so called."
(I Tim. 6:20). Notice that Paul
did not warn Timothy to steer
clear of wisdom, knowledge, or
science. No Christian needs to fear
science, for science is only man's
statement of God's Truth about
the universe as man has perceived
it. But "science falsely so called"
denies the God of the universe
shun it.
The opposite of scientism is
faith, "the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen" (Heb. 11:1). Faith does
not require an absence of wisdom,
it does not demand an ignorance
of knowledge; it does not reject
the findings of science. But faith
refuses to yield to sclent ism's
edict that only what is seen is
real in this world. Instead faith
declares. "Through faith we un-
derstand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God. so
that things which do appear"
(Heb. 11:3).
I u place of scientism's bleak
offerings, faith delivers the ulti-
mate gift which Paul called "the
depth of the riches both of the
wisdom ami knowledge of God."
I Rom. 11:3). What more can one
ask for than to share by faith in
the told wisdom and knowledge
of God whose words "framed the
worlds"?
SSC Halted 50-9
By Alabama A&M
In the first quarter Alabama
A&M kicked off to Savannah
State. The bail was returned to
the 35 yard line. The Bulldogs
of A&M capped the first of two
scoring drives with a jump pass
from Quarterback Ornee Jackson
to end Thomas Jones. This drive
was highlighted by an 18 yard
pickup by left halfback James
Witherspoon and a 20 yard pass
reception by Thomas Jones.
The Alabama A&M Bulldogs
struck again with 8 minutes left in
the first quarter when quarterback
Ornee Jackson threw a 70 yard
bomb to his left end, Joe Jennings.
The attempt at the 2 point con-
version was no good. This made
the score 12-0 in favor of Ala.
A&M.
The Tigers of Savannah State
were not to be denied. They re-
covered a fumble on Ala. A&M's
15 yard line. From that point
Carlos Westmore, tailback, took a
handoff from quarterback Vaughn
Ford and ran 15 yards for the
touchdown to make the score 12-6.
In the 3rd quarter Maurice
Coleman, left halfback, went 35
yards for the score after taking a
handoff from his quarterback,
Ronald Sales, to make the score
34-9.
Joe Jennings intercepted a stray
aerial and ran it back for 70 yards
for the score. The two point con-
version made the score 42-9. The
third quarter ended with the score
42-9.
Bernard Corbin intercepted two
passes. A 15 yard pass from Sales
to left end Lawrence Williams set
up a 30 yard scoring pass from
quarterback Ronald Sales to his
right end. Joe Reid. The two point
conversion made the score 50-9.
An intercepted pass by end Joe
Jennings ended the game.
Livingstone Rolls
Over SSC 40-0
The Livingstone Bears rode the
pinpoint passing of quarterback
Alfred Taylor to a convincing 40-0
victory over Savannah State.
Livingstone went into the dress-
ing room with a 13-0 at halftime.
In the first quarter Tyler
culminated a long drive by sneak-
ing in the end zone from a few
yards out for the first score of
the game. Then he passed to his
end Pete Gibson for the two point
conversion.
Tyler threw three touchdown
passes covering 74, 10, and 2
yards in the third quarter to put
the game out of the Tiger's reach.
Sam Crosby, reserve quarterback,
continued the scoring barrage,
hitting Romus Jeffrey with a nine
yard strike.
Savannah State's offense never
leached high gear and as a result
they had to rely on their defense
most of the game.
Serious miscues were costly for
the Tigers, causing them to give
up the ball three times on inter-
ceptions and once on a fumble.
Defensive halfbacks, Harold
Singleton and Henry Betts were
standouts for State on defense.
If it were not for a disastrous
21 point third quarter the Tigers
may have made a game of it.
Library Staff Makes
Effort to Provide
Excellent Service
The Savannah State College
Library Staff is making every
effort to provide excellent library
service to the college community.
With our present budget the
library book collection is ex-
pected to pass the 6O.000 volume
mark. Presently, in the collection
there are 57,667 volumes. Our
goal is to add 10,000 volumes to
the above number per year for
the next two years.
Our periodical collection is
rapidly being developed into* one
of the finest in this area. Where
there were gaps in certain titles,
these are being filled by the
acquisition of materials on micro-
film and in book form. To the
library staff this represents quite
an achievement for much infor-
mation which later appears in
books, first appears in the
periodical literature. This is
especially true in the field of
science. The library staff is also
proud of the recent acquisition of
micro-card materials.
The library program for the
academic year is one of service
to the entire college com-
munity. All efforts of every mem-
ber of the staff will be geared to-
ward making the library a very
integral part of the Savannah
State College program.
We anticipate, at this time, con-
tinuing the Great Books Dis-
cussion Group. This kind of
dialogue between student, faculty
member and local citizen con-
tributes to the intellectual develop-
ment of the academic community.
A very special educational fea-
ture of the Savannah State Col-
lege, the Library Lecture Series,
will again be under the auspices
of the library. We have com-
municated with several eminent
scholars and will announce later
who our first Lecture Series
speaker will be. The lectures are
designed to bring our students,
faculty, and townspeople into con-
tact with outstanding scholars in
every field. From such contacts, it
is hoped that everyone will benefit
intellectually. The library will
bring to the campus paintings and
exhibits of persons, events, and
places of interest.
The children's story hour is
again held on Thursday after-
noons in the library. This is an
effort on the part of the college to
stimulate reading, to cultivate a
love for books, and to develop the
habit of using the library regularly
by young people. This effort is
necessary because circumstances
have not made us library minded
or library users. We welcome this
opportunity to serve the children
of our community in an effort to
make them better readers.

Savannah State To Hold One Day Conference
On Sources Of Finance For Small Business
A one day conference will be
held at Savannah State College
on Thursday. November 17, 1966,
inviting businessmen from Chat-
ham County and its environs to
participate in a Conference on
Sources of Finance for Small
Businesses. Because of the visual-
ized significance of this confer-
ence, however, invitations for
participation will cover a broader
geographic area.
The major emphasis will be
placed upon sources of financing
available from governmental
sources. Because of the inter-
relationship of many governmental
and private financing programs,
the conference will have indicated
a need for a conference of this
nature. This conference will be
directed toward filling this visual-
ized need.
The conference will be directed
toward equity financing, long-term
borrowing and borrowing for
working capital. Other aspects of
financing may be included, de-
pending upon the findings brought
out through a telephone sampling
of local businessmen (which is
now being conducted). Business-
men are encouraged to make
known any areas of specific fi-
nancial interest. In order to
register their interest, interested
persons may write or call:
Hayward S. Anderson, Chair-
man, Division of Business Ad-
ministration, Savannah State, Col-
lege, Savannah, Georgia 3 1404.
Telephone: 354-5717, Ext. 211.
There will be four periods of
one and one-half hours each de-
voted to eight panel discussions.
During the conference, two panels,
treating a different aspect of the
subject, will be held concurrently,
thus permitting members to alter-
nate between sessions or to follow
an area of their specific interest.
These panels will consist of three
panelists and a moderator.
Prospected sources of panelists:
Approximately 80 per cent from
federal governmental agencies.
Approximately 20 per cent from
private industry.

book clinic. Here, Davis, along
with other yearbook editors dis-
cussed "content of the yearbook,
changing or static."
After several swap sessions.
Joiner, Elmore, and Davis, along
with Wilton C. Scott, attended a

SSC Voted
Into CEEB
Savnunah State College was
voted into membership yesterday
at the annual two-day meeling of
the College Entrance Examination
Board and the College Scholar-
ship Service in New York, Twenty-
five southern colleges and univer-
sities and 1H secondary schools
were added.
This election boosts southern
membership in the College Board
to 167 colleges and universities
and 41 secondary schools.
Representatives of the Board
also voted for the first time in the
organization's history to approve
permanent associalional member-
ship for 35 of the Tuition's largest
urban school systems, including
New York, Chicago, Los Angeles,
Houston, Atlanta, the Stale De-
partment of Education in Hawaii,
and the Department of Education
in the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico. Membership of these systems
will enable them to participate
directly in the development and
operation of the Board's programs
and services.
The College Board is a national
membership association of 707
public and independent colleges
arid universities, 232 secondary
schools, and 8H associations, with
headquarters in New York City.
It was founded in 1900 by school
and college leaders who recog-
nized the need for an association
which could provide direction, co-
ordination, and research in aiding
the transition of students from
secondary school to college.
During the meetings at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, more than
1,000 college administrators and
secondary school officials dis-
cussed issues and problems
relevant to student movement into
college. Principal addresses were
delivered by the president of the
Board, Richard Pearson, and
Jarnes A. Perkins, president of
Cornell University.
At a Tuesday night (October
25) banquet session, Mr. Perkins
urged college and university
representatives to do a more effec-
tive job of describing their in-
stitutions to prospective students,
and at the same time to consider
ways of helping students gain a
more accurate understanding of
their own abilities and interests.
He said that colleges and uni-
versities have a responsibility to
report more fully to students on
the results and meanings of apti-
tude and achievement tests that
they have taken.
"The average student is tested
and retested throughout his aca-
demic career," Mr. Perkins said,
"but he is rarely given any direct
and specific instructions about the
implications of his marks or test
scores for his work and goals."
At the point of admission to
college, student and institution are
often involved in a game of blind-
man's bluff, Mr. Perkins noted,
with neither party having suffici-
ent information about the other to
make an intelligent and successful
choice. He also advocated the
devising of tests to help measure
non-intellective factors.

A Better Education
Georgia students from first grade through graduate school are
getting a belter education today than they did a short two years ago,
according lo a new study by the Georgia Educational Improvement
Council.
The study entitled "Investment and Implementation," tells what's
happened to the master plan for improving Georgia's public schools
as recommended by the Governor's Commission to Improve Education
in the summer of 1963.
It was presented to Governor Carl Sanders Friday morning by
Joseph A. Whittle of Brunswick, Chairman of the Council, a State
agency for planning and research on all levels of public education.
The report will also be given to legislators and educators attending the
1966 Governor's Conference on Education.
Prepared by Dr. Edmund C. Martin and Dr. Charles E. Hopkins
of the Council staff, the report takes each recommendaiton of the Com-
mission affecting elementary, secondary and higher public education
and pinpoints its current status and future plans.
"Substantial implementation" is reported in such areas as school
financing, teacher salary increases, enlarging the size of schools and
improving the quality of education on all levels.
Other suggestions of the Commission, a respected group of edu-
cators and lay leaders chaired by Governor Carl Sanders, are clearly
labeled "no progress," with explanations of why not and estimates of
when action is expected.
School financing has made dramatic progress, the study shows.
The Commission recommended a tripling of school funds by the mid
19770's. If funds continue to increase at their present rate of about
$40 million a year, Georgia will reach at least the mid-point of the
Commission's long-range goal.
The fact that Georgia is currently putting 58 percent of its budget
into education is another hopeful sign.
Past progress in school financing also looks good. Funds from all
sources (local, state and federal! for elementary and secondary schools
increased from S62 million to S386 million or 527 percent over the
past 20 years. College funds jumped from $16 million lo S112 million
or 500 percent in the same period.
Progress has been made in increasing local support of schools, the
study shows. State Senate Bill 180, passed in 1964, made possible
better budgeting, reporting and auditing procedures on the local school
level, and "gave adequate control to the State Board of Education."
the study reports.
The State Board also has more accurate information on the local
school's ability to support itself through new legislation which provides
that: "The State Auditor shall provide such information to the State
Board of Education each year based on an equalized, adjusted school
property tax digest for each county and each independent school
system. . . ."
Several Constitutional revisions are needed to fulfill other Com-
mission recommendations in the financing field, the study reports.
They involve removing the limit on local school bond issues; removing
property tax limitations for support of public education; and doing
away with exemptions on any property from ad valorem taxes for
school purposes.
Teachers' salaries in Georgia are making progress as well. The
Commission suggested that the state catch up with salaries in neighbor-
ing states and equal or exceed the national average "within a reason-
able number of years. This is being done according to the study.
The average Georgia teacher's salary was increased $1500 from
1962-63 to 1966-67. The average Georgia salary increase was $300
for 1965-66 over the previous year, compared with $132 for North
Carolina. $295 for Florida and $271 for the nation as a whole.
The current rate of increase "may allow Ceorgia to catch up with
North Carolina but will not close the gap between Georgia and Florida "
the Council reports, and beginning salaries in Alabama arc currently
higher than those in Georgia.
A $5,200 base pay for new teachers with a four-year professional
certificate will go into effect in 1967-68. A change from across-the-
board raises for teachers to an index salary scale has also been initiated.
Much has been accomplished in university faculty salaries, the
"great need in the University System," as the Commission sees it. The
1964-65 slate budget included faculty raises averaging 12 percent.
J hey will go up another 5 percent in 1965-66 and 7.5 percent in 1966-67.
"Even with the mentioned increases, faculty salaries for the Uni-
versity System are still at approximately the national average." The
Council reports this is far short of reaching the third quartile recom-
mended by the Commissoin.
The school merger problem is also improving. A major recom-
mendation of the Governor's Commission was for "fairly large" school
You and Yonr Fellow Men
By Deloris Moss
As college students we meet
people from nearly every walk of
life. We have to live and work
with people, therefore, you and
your fellow men are important to
each other. As Christians we can't
sit high and feel we are above all
others when we are here together.
This constitutes a good Christian.
A recent article in Christian
Living has this to sav about you
and your fellow men: "The trouble
with some of you Christians is
that you're so heavenly minded
you're no earthly good."
This accusa-
^H true. We must
remember both
^B of the great
^m-\JF ' o m m n d -
^-^L ments: to love
^^^^^^^^
^^ I hearts, and to
love our neigh-
Deloris Moss bor as ourself.
This is because we have made
a religion of Christianity instead
of taking it into the mainstream
of life as Christ did when He was
here upon earth. What makes us
think He wants us to retreat into
our cloistered circles and let the
rest of the world go by?
Shame on us for leaving the
sick and the suffering of this
world to be cared for by non-
Christians.
In a sense we have been partially
guilty of the rise of another of
the false gods of our day, and it
is the most popular of them all.
Secular humanism is the exag-
gerated emphasis upon mankind.

Old Grads, Welcome!
Homecoming reminds seniors that they will join the ranks
of Savannah State College Alumni.
This feeling of kinship with old grads makes them take
an added interest in heing hosts to former students.
It will seem strange to greet the class of '66 as alumni
instead of fellow students, hut they will find a warm welcome
among their former classmates.
Oldtimers, especially, will he interested in visiting the
campus and viewing the transformation that has taken place.
The new buildings should impress them.
Whether the class of 1891 or 1966, all former students
returning to their Alma Mater this week-end for Homecoming
celebration are warmly welcomed by students, faculty, and

By Halloray Benjamin
Colleges and universities all
over the United States set aside
a specific date to celebrate their
homecoming festival. This is in-
deed a special occasion, for it
gives lasting and gala memories
to each and every participating
student who take pride in their

John M. Bailey. Chairman of
the Democratic National Com-
mittee, urged college students to
register and vote in this fall's
election.
In a letter to Dale Wagner,
chairman of the College Young
Democratic Clubs of America,
Bailey said, "I hope that your
organization will encourage col-
lege students to register and vote
in this year's important Con-
gressional and Senatorial elec-
tions. If we are to realize Presi-
dent Johnson's dream of the Great
Society, we must re-elect those
Democratic Congressmen and
Senators who provided the margin
of votes needed to pass the first
bill to aid primary and secondary
education, to enact the long-stalled
Medicare legislation and to en-
sure a strong Voting Rights Law."
"In 1966. Bailey said, "the
Democratic Party faces a great
challenge we must register and
that makes for a prosperous and
happy homecoming. However, this
alone doesn't complete the oc-
casion, for there is always action
on the "Gridiron" to please the
ever-loving sports fans who take a
special interest in their teams

and enthusiasm which leads to vic-

While academic achievement is
our primary objective in further-
ing our education, we realize the
impact that "Unity" plays in help-
ing us form better working habits
among the student body and
faculty which makes for better
character and leadership. When
we celebrate our homecoming, we
must remain abreast of the ideal
that we as a college family of One
must work diligently in prepara-
tion for making this a successful
homecoming to be cherished by
all who show school spirit and a
sincere love for their Alma Mater.
vote the nine million young adults
who have reached voting age since
1964."
Calling upon the College Young
Democrats to assist in registering
new voters, Bailey continued :
"Most states allow students to vote
by absentee ballot if they will be
away from their place of residence
on election day."
Wagner said that the organi-
zation has member clubs on 700
campuses in all 50 states and the
District of Columbia and has
already initiated a drive on local
campuses to register new voters
and help students vote by absentee
ballot. He warned, however, that
many states have early deadlines
for registering and applying for
absentee ballots and urged that
students act immediately.
Coast Guard Invites
College Seniors to
Apply For OCS
Washington, D. C. College
seniors or graduates can fulfill
their military obligation as of-
ficers in the U. S. Coast Guard.
Qualified applicants are notified
of selection for Officer Candidate
School before they enlist.
OCS classes convene in Septem-
ber and February at the Coast
Guard Reserve Training Center in
historic Yorktown. Virginia. There
the carefully selected college
graduates receive 17 weeks of in-
tensive, highly specialized train-
ing. Upon graduation they are
commissioned as ensigns in the
Coast Guard Reserve and serve on
active duty for three years. Those
qualified may be offered flight

Coast Guard officers receive the
same pay and benefits as officers
of other Armed Forces. Included
are 30 days of annual leave and

The Standards Committee Report adopted by the State Board of
Education last spring "will provide some impetus toward achieving

Peabody-McClurkin report which set guidelines for the minimum size
of school units and has urged the General Assembly to approve legis-
lation to implement this recommendation.
Strides in graduate school education are also noted in the report,
one of the Commission's top priorities. Graduate school enrollment in
state institutions increased over 1,000 students in the past school year,
from 3,151 to 4,171; and the number of doctor's degrees awarded also
rose substantially.
State funds for research in the higher institutions have doubled
from 1962-63 to 1966-67, increasing from S4.4 million to S9 million.
The fields of long-range planning and educational research have .
been implemented concretely. The Council itself was created by the for
General Assembly in 1964 as a continuing agency for study and long-
range planning on all levels of public education. The State Depart-

LBJ's Gettysburg
Address
By Robert Ewegen
The Collegiate Press Service
(As presented by Little Boy
Johnson, president of the United
States and grandson of a former
President whom we all know
and love. The address was de-
livered at the dedication of the
American military cemetery
"Gettysburg East," outside of
Saigon in the year 2052-1
Mah fellow Americans:
Foah score and seven yeahs ago,
my grandfather brought forth
upon this continent of Asia a new
political concept, conceived in ex-
pediency and dedicated to the
proposition that we are better dead
than red.
Now we are engaged in a Great
Society (oops, I mean a Great
Civil War), and for that matter
have been engaged in that Great
Civil War for four score and
seven years now, testing whether
that concept of a permanent Amer-
ican military presence in Asia or
any concept so ill-conceived and so
ineptly executed, can long endure.
We are met on a great battle-
field of that war, a battlefield
where General Ky was overthrown
by General Hee, where General
Hee was overthrown by General
Me, where General Me was over-
thrown by General Wee, where
General Wee was overthrown by-
General Gee, and so forth through
the 56 different coups that finally
culminated last spring in General
Flea's government, which we are
now convinced is in a position to
bring to this nation the political
stability that is so necessary if we
are to begin to effectively roll back
the aggression from the north.
Excuse me, folks, I just received
an urgent note. (Oh no, not
again.) Hrrumph. What 1 meant
was the 57 coups which finally
culminated in General She's coup
three minutes ago which we are
finally convinced is in a position
to at least offer this nation the
political stability that is . . .
Hmmrph. Be that as it may.
We have come to dedicate this
battlefield as a fitting memorial to
the light to moderate losses that
our forces have sustained over the
past 87 years so that my grand-
father and his successors could
test the theory that the way to
bring Hanoi to the peace table was
to escalate further.

By Walker Durham
To the men students of SSC,
you had better be careful. The
women are talking about you all
over town. I know that now you
are wondering what they could
possibly say about you. Well
fellows, its very simple, they are
talking about your manners.
Most young men don't know if
they have bad manners or good
manners. If he has bad manners
and don't know it. then he pays
the price of being the subject of a
"Boy With Bad Manners" discus-
sion. And you better believe it
girls do talk about these things.
You might want to know what do
you mean by good manners? Ac-
cording to tlie women, little things
like: openings doors for them, not
letting them slam in their faces,
picking up books, papers, and
other things that they may drop,
helping them with heavy packages,
and most of all letting them have
a seat when they are standing and
you are sitting. On the buses of all
places. Some just won't get up
and let a lady sit down. "And to
think they are college men." One
young lady said, "It gives one a
funny feeling to be on a bus where
there are men sitting and women
standing. If they were high school
boys, you might could see it, be-
cause they are not as cultivated
as college men. But its getting to
the place where its hard to tell
which is which. You would think
that they would give an older lady
a seat, but no. this never happens
either." In the event that you
fellows are wondering how I got
this information, well just like I
said, the women are talking. I
just happened to be in on a dis-
cussion. This is not all that they
said men. but this is all that I am
going to let you in on for the
time being.
Will the Real Mary X
Please Stand Up!
By Patricia Davidson
Mary received her high school
diploma on the 29th of May, 1%6.
She thought that day would never
come, but at last it did.
"Oh my ! " she thought, "in
three months I will be 18 years
old and I will be on my own," at
least she thought she would be,
"now I can get a job."
Mary was a very smart and in-
telligent girl, but deep down in,
she really didn't know what she
wanted to do, or be in life. All
she thought of now was working
and making money to spend as
she pleased. Sure she wanted to
go to college, but now she hadn't
the least thought about it.
She did apply to three different
colleges and was accepted by all
three by the first of August, 1%6.
She really didn't have anything
to worry about. She graduated
with high honors, had a pleasing
personality, she participated in
various activities at her former
school and on top of all those.
she was voted queen of her school.
So you see Mary X really had it
made.
During the summer, she worked
as a secretary, making very good
money. At first she thought that
was all to life, but on top of all
of that, she was not really satis-
fied.
The decision was made about
college when Mary X was talking
Lo the Dean of Faculty at Howard
University. Mary met the Dean of
Faculty at Temple University in
Philadelphia where she was work-
ing during the summer. She had
a very serious talk with him, he
really convinced her that getting
a college education was the right
thing to do.
Mary X was very happy she
got to meet the Dean of Faculty
of Howard University. That was
what she really needed, just a
little push. The decision was final
in her mind, "College is for me!"
Mary began to do more serious
thinking about college day after
day. In her mind she was saying,
"College is my next step; I did
enjoy working, making and spend-
ing money, but I know I will en-
joy college better. College is the
biggest part of education. When
I finish college and get a B.S. or
B.A. in whatever course I take.

Nobody will dispute-surely not I-that raising children
is a task which requires full time and awesome skills.
Nonetheless, a recent nationwide survey has revealed a
startling fact: mothers who go back to work after their
children are safely through the early years are notably
happier, better adjusted, and more fulfilled than mothers
who simply remain housewives. Moreover-and mark this
well the children of such working mothers are themselves
happier, better adjusted, and more fulfilled!
All very well, you say, but what's it got to do with you ?
Isn't it obvious? If you are underachieving at college, get
your mother a job.
What kind of job? Well sir, your mother is probably
between 35 and 50 years of age, so certnin occupations
must immediately be ruled out. Logging, for example. Or
whaling. Orcarhopping.
But don't despair. There are other kinds of jobs-not
many, to be sure, hut some. However, you must not stick
Mom in just any old job. You must remember that after
the excitement of raising you, she would be bored to tears
as a file clerk, for instance, or as a dolman. ( A dolman, as
we all know, is someone who brings handfula of water to
track layers. With the recent invention of the pail, dolmen
are gradually falling into technological unemployment.)
But I digress. I was saying, find Mom a job worthy of
her talents, something challenging that uses her vast wis-
dom and experience but, at the same time, is not too hard
on her obsolescing tissues. That's what Walter Sigafoos
did, and the results were brilliantly successful.
Walter, a sophomore at the Upper Maryland College of
Wickerwork and Belles Lettres, majoring in raffia, ap-
proached the problem scientifically. First he asked himself
what his mother did best. Well sir, what she did best was
to keep hollering, "Dress warm, Walter!"
At first glance this seemed a skill not widely in demand,
but Walter was not discouraged. He sent out hundreds of
inquiries and today, 1 am pleased to report, his mother is
happily employed as wardrobe mistress for the Montreal
Canadiens.
Another fortunate venture was that of Frank C. Grans-
mire, a junior at the Oregon State Conservatory of Music
and Optometry, majoring in sties. Frank, like Walter, did
a survey in depth of his mother's talents. Chief among
them, he found, was her ability to make a roast of beef
feed the whole family for three days. So, naturally, Frank
got her a job at the Museum of Natural History.
What has one to do with the other, you ask? Isn't it
obvious? Anyone who can stretch ribs like that belongs in
aleontology.
I cannot conclude this column without saying a few
words about Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades. The
reason 1 cannot is that this column is sponsored by the
makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, and
they are inclined to get peckish if I omit to mention their
product.
Not, mind you, that it is a chore for me to plug
Personna. Or, for the matter of that, to shave with
Personna. No sir: no chore. Personna takes the pain out
of shaving, scraps the scrape, negates the nick, repudiates
the rasp, peels the pull, boycotts the burn, blackballs the
bite, ousts the ouch. Furthermore, Personna endures and
abides, gives you luxury shave after luxury shave, day
after day after day. And further furthermore, Personna
is available both in double-edge style and Injector style.
And as if all this were not bounty enough, Personna is
now offering you a chance to grab a fistful of $100 bills!

speak for them for they have proof
of that by the letters.
So Fellow Students let's start
now writing our Congressman and
Representatives concerning im-
portant issues and encourage
other friends to do likewise. Other
discussions were on job and op-
portunities. On Friday night
Bobby Hill spoke to us on values
and putting forth our best issues
and stop talking and not doing.
Mr. Studgeon, President.
Saturday night Mr. E. J. Josey
was awarded a trophy from the
youth of the Georgia State Con-
vention, by I. Studgeon. for his
dedication and efficient service as
co-youth advisor. Mr. Josey was
made an honorary member.
On Saturday the Georgia State
Youth elected new officers for the
year 1966-67, and we at State
are proud that SSC Chapter is
the recipient of the following state
officers. Ithamas Studgeon, State
president; Marva DeLoach, first
vice president; Loretta Stephens,
secretary; James Sapp III. parlia-
mentarian.
On Sunday Mr. Roy Wilkins,
the Executive Secretary, spoke to
the group. He spoke from several
points. First he stressed the need
of membership and money, for
without membership there is no
organization. A reporter met Mr.
Wilkins at the air port and asked
him "If Lester Maddox is elected,
what will happen to the NAACP."
Wilkins said it will be here when
he's gone, unquote.
He spoke on the write-in but
first he made it clear that the
NAACP is a non-partisan organ-
ization. But you know who to vote
for you can go and write in Ellis
Arnall and look the records over.
Lester Maddox is a drop out, if
he is elected for Governor, what
can you say to a drop out. for
he can say my Governor is a drop
out.
YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE!
Join the thousands of aroused
Georgians who on Nov. 8 will vote
for Self Respect, they will write-in
Ellis Arnall.
How did it begin? Well three
people, who decided they could
not vote for Lester Maddox or
Howard "Bo" Callaway, sparked
a write-in movement that blazes
across Georgia today. No blocs,
no fiction. People are at work
not political machines. This is a
genuine grass roots machine for
self respecting Georgians who
want to vote proudly on Nov. 8.
We need your membership in the
college Chapter of NAACP. Join

The Chapter, recently organized
on the college campus, strives to
live up to the standards of its
brother chapters through the
nation by utilizing its power to
be governed by the fraternity's
cardinal principles friendship,
leadership, and service.
To begin the year right, the
chapter has elected as its officers.

This is Russ Kennedy of Balboa Island, California, on an in-port field trip as a student aboard
Chapman College's floating campus.
The note he paused to make as fellow students went ahead to inspect Hatshepsut's Tomb in the

Cultures professor.
Russ transferred the 12 units earned during the study-travel semester at sea to his record at
the University of California at Irvine where he continues studies toward a teaching career in life
sciences.
As you read this, 450 other students have begun the fall semester voyage of discovery with
Chapman aboard the s.s. RYNDAM, for which Holland-America Line acts as General Passenger
Agents.
In February still another 450 will embark from Los Angeles for the spring 1967 semester,
this time bound for the Panama Canal, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina. Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco.

Pageant" which is scheduled later
during the year. This year the
fraternity hopes to have a line-up
of at least twenty- five young
ladies vying for the title of "Miss

the highlight of the year.
Again, I would like to say wel-

The Beatles Versus God:
Religion Hippy-Style
By Meredith Eiker
The Collegiate Press Service
The period of public mourning
over the death of God seems to
have passed; n big thing in re-
ligious symbols is now a Yellow
Submarine, the Holy Trinity has
become a quartet, and the Alleluia
Chorus requires an electric guitar.
Needless to say this is the Year
of Our Lord 1966, B.C. B.C.
being, of course, Bcatle Century.
The Western world is hearing the
first cries of worship this week:
"John not Jesus." And as is true
of most deities, the popularity of
the current idols is suddenly du-
bious.
Obviously when John Lennon
the Beatle silting highest on Mount
Olympus announced some weeks
ago that "the Beatles are more
popular than Jesus," he undoubt-
edly thought that he was merely
stating fuel. It seems, however,
that at that point he had initialed
n cult.
Long worshipped hut never of-
ficially sanctified, the Beatles be-
gan somewhat unobtrusively in a
place called the Cavern in Liver-
pool, England. The whole set-up
was not much unlike the manger
scene where Christ made his first
appearance 2,000 years before.
People came and kind of stared
both at the infant Christ and later
at the singers.
Other similarities cannot be eas-
ily overlooked either. Both Christ
and the Beatles were fated for des-
tinies with the stars, both per-
formed miracles I the Beatles being
able to tin ii docile, apathetic, teen-
age girls into screaming beasts),
both experienced surging popular-
ity and large fallowings only to
find themselves eventually called
blasphemers.
Both Christ and the Beatles
knew they were doomed . . , rock
and roll and religion are fickle.
The Beatles have been waiting for
"their downfall" for several
months now. Both have witnessed
angry mobs. It may not be long
before fanatics are throwing rocks
at the Beatles instead of kisses.
Little-Known Facts

Asking your doctor to prescribe
drugs by their generic name in-
stead of brand name can save you
money, notes the October Reader's
Digest. The drug used to treat
arthritis costs two dollars per 100
tablets when ordered by its generic
name but as much as S30 per
100 when prescribed by brand.
By 1975, when the full benefits
of Egypt's Aswan Dam are sched-
uled to be realized, that nation's
arable land will have increased
by 40 percent. But also by 1975
unless the present birth rate is
lessened the population will have
increased by 50 percent. Thus the
October Reader's Digest reports,
Egypt will have less arable land
per capita rather than more.

address to the membership
Wednesday morning ( October
26), predicted a broad expansion
of opportunities in higher educa-
tion within the next decade, and
asserted his belief that all young
Americans had "the right to full-
time formal education through at
least two years beyond high
school."
He said further that "all gradu-
ates of two-year colleges in uni-
versity-parallel programs should
expect admission to a four-year
institution, and that every other
individual regardless of age should
have opportunities to demonstrate
through independent study or
other off-campus learning experi-
ences that he is qualified for
formal study at the collegiate
level."
Mr. Pearson stated that in order
to achieve the nationally-accepted
goal of improving and extending
access to higher education, the
College Board membership would
have to work closely and actively
with other groups and organiza-
tions to help break down some of
the economic, social, and geo-
graphic barriers that stand in the
way. He cited the need for better
and earlier guidance in the
schools, and for new and different
tests that would do an improved
job of identifying the especially
ai>le as well as the disadvantaged.

A scrappy band of Savannah
State College Tigers almost roared
from behind to overtake the Clark
College Panthers in Atlanta, be-
fore bowing out 34-18. A twenty
point deficit at halftime was too
much for the Tigers to overcome.
In the first quarter. Elijah
Nevett took a handoff from quar-
lerback Ronald Mclllwayne and
ripped off 15 yards to make the
score 6-0. The two point con-
version failed. The Panthers
chalked up 14 points in the second
quarter on an eight yard rollout
by Mclllwayne and a touchdown
pass covering 15 yards to halfback
Waymon Docks. The Panthers
took a 20-0 halftime lead into the
dressing room.
At the beginning of the second
half. Felix Bell cranked up his air
arm and rifled an 11 yard scoring
strike to end Terry Leggett to
put the Tigers on the scoreboard.
Clark roared back on the ensuing
kickoff when Waymon Docks ex-
ploded up the sidelines for 80
yards and another tally.
The Tigers scored twelve points
in the last quarter. Quarterback
Felix Bell threw a 23 yard scoring
aerial to Leggett for one score and
a 25 vard pass and run play from
Bell to end James Evans, who
pitched out to tailback Louis
Witherspoon. accounted for the
last six points of the game.
'Batman" is encountering un-
expected enemies. According lo
the November Reader's Digest, the
Soviet newspaper Pravda has
charged that the popular TV hero
contributes to a "warlike" 1 atmos-
phere in the United States. In the
opinion of the Red mouthpiece.
Batman serves as a stimulus to
make Americans more eager to
act as "murderers" in Vietnam.

What's The Happiest Sound In Pro Football?
Two Clark Panthers block end, James Evans out of the pla
The happiest sound in pro-
fessional football these days is
not the roar of the crowd but the
ring of the cash-register. After 30
years of instability, the play-for-
pay game lias hit the financial big
time, with an annual take for the
two major leagues of more than
S65 million, a November Reader's
Digest article notes.
Although the box office is still
the prime source of revenue, in-
creasing millions are pouring into
league coffers from such "fringe"
areas as television, hot dog sales,
endorsements, licensing fees and
programs.
The top-notch team in both
leagues, the National Football
League' Cleveland Browns last
year averaged 79,611 paying fans
at each home game, reports author
Earl Selby. Cleveland's income
from all sources (not overlooking
the 575,000 netted from selling
programs) is about S4- million a
year; a low-ranking NFL team
grosses about 52,600,000. Even
selling the season tickets months
in advance makes money ; by
putting the payments out at in-
terest, the teams can make another
S15.000 to 530,000.
Columbia Broadcasting System
won the rights to televise NFL
games this season by offering
more than S18 million about
31,200,000 to each of the 15
teams. American Football League
teams will average a take of about
S900.000 annually from their five-
year deal with the National Broad-
casting Company.
By far the biggest single cost
is the player payroll, which is
rarely less than S700.000. The
Washington Redskins' payroll is
now more for one week than it was
for the entire season of 1937. The
average NFL player makes about
516,000 a year for what amounts
to about five months of work
and the AFL player makes close
to that.
It takes from 5275 to S300 to
equip a player, from helmet chin
strap at 51-50 to shoulder pads at
335. By NFL rules, the home team
must provide 12 new footballs
(518.95 eachl for each game. The
insurance bill for the Philadelphia
Eagles (every Eagle flight is
covered for more than 510
million) runs to 538,000 a year.
Marching bands and baton-
twirling girls for half-time shows
cost another 310,000 to 530,000.
All in all, it's just about impossible
to field a pro team for less than
32,400.000 a year. Thus, there is
an increasing danger that some
owners may start concentrating
on good profits rather than good
teams.

ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR
NOVEMBER MEANS: harvest time. Thanksgiving, icy nights, and.
in many parts of the country, the first snowfall. It also means it's
high time to check over a number of the essentials in your outer-
wear wardrobe. This month we'll survey some of the latest trends
in your winter wardrobe with special emphasis on your ski gear.
THE BIKE COAT, a short, functional outer-
coat, created specially for the campus Bike
Set, fills a fashion need evident in the great
numbers of motorscooters and bikes on the
college scene. Warm, lightweight, and flex-
ible, the Bike Coat is a sure bet to become a
campus classic. Although lengths vary from
the hip to above the knee, emphasis will fall on
the shorter models. Styling ranges from the
dressy blazer-type double breasted models
to the snug, zipper-closure, single-breasted
styles. Ample pockets preserve a trim ap-
pearance : some have conventional flaps ;
others are zippered.
FABRIC PLUS COLOR add up to a wide-open array from which
college men can pick and choose according to their tastes. Look for
fleecy wools, cotton/polyester blends, and leathers, both grained
Cabrettas and smooth suedes. Natural tones will be pace-setters in
the Bike Coat lineup, especially light tan cottons and warm caramel
and clay colors in leathers. Dark blue will make news, as will light
and walnut browns. For inclement weather, many models feature
rinyl-coated surfaces.
THE JUMP SUIT, adapted directly from the parachutist gear, is
the most striking innovation in this year's skiwear. A one-piece
suit, it will be found mainly in heavy stretch rayon and nylon twill.
The Jump Suit features industrial-size brass zippers for both the
front closure and pockets, and a wide self-belt with a large brass
buckle. There is a stand-up neckband collar and a snap tab, and the
sleeves are closed at the cuffs with concealed zippers.
THE SKI PARKOAT is a fashion hybrid, de-
rived in equal parts from the ski parka, a
hooded, lightweight, loose-fitting waist-
length jacket and the tow coat which offers
warmth without excessive bulkiness or
weight. The parkoat is a knee-length parka,
often treated for water repellency with tube
quilt lining, two-way concealed zipper and
roll-out hood. Colors: curry, off-white, and
Navy. Fabric choice: nylon.
KNICKERS RETURN! After a 30 year absence, knickers are mak-
ing an important comeback via the ski slopes. An outgrowth of the
Courtly knee breeches of the 1790-1810 period, they came into wide
use in sportswear in the 1880's. But along about 1930 the appeal of
knickers began to slacken; they were replaced by the full-legged
trouser. And now they're back. You'll be seeing wide-wale corduroy
knickers, and an occasional pair in nylon. The color spectrum
here is broad : forest green, intermediate blue, golden brown, black-
and-white checks, burgundy, and heather tweeds.
RAINWEAR for this year can be summed up
in two words: raglan and short. Sleeves fea-
ture the raglan style, and lengths are short.
A top contender is the herringbone coat
which reverses to natural poplin, styled with
a bal collar and button-through closure. For
a high fashion note, keep an eye out for the
antelope-tan cotton-suede coat with a full
zip-out lining of bold red, camel, black and
green plaid.

The Savannah State Tigers
blasted Benedict College, 114-97,
behind the torrid shooting of Oli-
ver C. Baker, Jimmy Westley, and
Lee Maull.
The Tigers used the fast break
to perfection in amassing a 17
point lead at halftime. This point
spread proved to he Benedict's
downfall. Lee Maull led the attack
in the first half with twenty points.
Savannah State had a slight
height advantage for the first time
this season and dominated both
boards.
0. C. Baker and Jimmy Westley
bombed Benedict with consistent
20 and 30 foot jump shots. Baker
and Westley ended the game with
25 points apiece. Charles Rutland
added 12 points and six rebounds
and Maull finished the night with
26 points and 12 rebounds.
State blistered the nets for 114
points and a torrid 61 '< from the
floor, making 47 of 77 attempts.
Nathaniel Dukes had 25 points
to lead Benedict in that depart-
ment. Ulysses Davis scored 25
points and Ronald Robertson 15
for the visitors from Columbus.
Benedict made 42 of 71 attempts
from the floor for a 50% average
and from the foul line they shot
4S'/c, making 13 of 27 attempts.
The next home contest for the
Tigers will he on December 16
against South Carolina State Col-

Chemistry Dept.
Gets Grant
By Odessa Williams
A grant of 85,000 was awarded
on December 1 to the Department
of Chemistry for research done by
high school teachers in the sum-
mer.
The major objectives of the
project directed by Dr. Charles
Pratt, head of the department
are: ( 1 ) To give each participant
an opportunity to increase his
knowledge and understanding of
biochemistry; (2) To stimulate
teachers for further personal study
as a way of improving the teach-
ing of biology and chemistry in
high school; (3) To strengthen
the participating teachers in their
ability to interpret experimental
results more effectively in their
laboratories; (4) To emphasize
the foundations and interrelations
between the physical and biologi-
cal sciences; and (5) To possibly
develop new methods of protein
fragmentation which will he quick,
simple, and reliable.
The participants will be high
school teachers who will be se-
lected on the basis of their train-
ing (it must meet the requirements
outlined by the NSFl, their aca-
demic goals, and their interest in
biochemistry.
The participants are granted a
stipend of S75.00 per week plus

The idea of creating one na-
tional basis of recognition for col-
lege students that would be demo-
cratic and devoid of dues, initia-

dent was conceived about twenty-
nine years ago.
Then came two years of re-
search, correspondence, travel, and
interviews with college adminis-
trators, personnel managers, stu-
dents and undergraduate organiza-
tions to determine whether there
was a need for such an organiza-
tion as "Who's Who Among Stu-
dents in American Universities
and Colleges." Endorsement by
these groups encouraged the ven-
ture; thus the publication first
came into print for llie school year
1934-35.

Choral Society Presents Christmas Concert
The Savannah State College
Choral Society under the direction
of Dr. Coleridge A. Braithwaite,
Chairman of the Department of
Fine Arts, pre-
sented its annual
Christmas Concert
in Wiley Gymna-
sium on the Col-
j-^^ ^ lege campus Sun-
<^L ^Sg^^ day, December 11,
^* ^^^^ a t 6 p.m. The pro-
Dr. Braithwaite ? ram as opened
to the public.
For several years this musical
event has been eagerly anticipated
by the local community, and it has
always been a highlight on the
college calendar. For their pro-
gram the Choral Society has
draw-n upon the musical literature
of several countries extending over
a period of many years. The open-
ing selection, "Personent Lodie,"
for example, was an English carol
arranged by Gustav Hoist from a
Latin text and melody. Four ex-
cerpts from George F. Handel's
immortal "Messiah" were heard.
Imogene Hodge, a junior music
major from Savannah, sang the
contralto solo, "He Shall Feed His
Flock" and Ruby Lane, a fresh-
man music major from Savannah,
sang the soprano solo, "Come
Unto Him." A Christmas Hymn,
"Angels We Have Heard on
High," adapted by Roy Kingwald,
was sung just before Richard
Moses, a sophomore English ma-
jor from Blackshear, was featured
in Robert MacGimsey's "Sweet
Little Jesus Boy," a Christmas lul-
laby. The next selection, "Glory
to God," is a contemporary com-
position by John Vincent based
on Richard Hu bier's Christmas
play, "The Hallow'd Time."
The audience shared in this pro-
gram by singing several familiar
Christmas Carols such as the Eng-
lish melody, "The First Noel," "O
Little Town of Bethlehem" and
"Hark the Herald Angels Sing."
The Choral Society returned to
sing William Lawrence's famous
arrangement of "Behold That
Star" and John Work's familiar
"New Born." The Russian carol,
"The Angel's Song," by Paul
Tschesnokov, represents one of the
most jubilant compositions in Rus-
sian choral literature.
The final group consisted of
Leroy Anderson's joyful "Sleigh
Ride" and the familiar secular
piece, "The Christmas Song."
Accompanists for the program
were Angelene Sampson, a senior
Music major from Savannah, and
Paulette Butler, a junior Music
major, also from Savannah.
Members of the Choral Society
include:
FIRST SOPRANOS: Marva

The Typical Student Says:
Dear Editor-.
Vict Nam, inflation, black power, civil rights let's forget these (or a moment
and take an objective look .it ourselves ai mcmberi ol the student body those
who come to seek knowledge.
I'll admit, Mr. Editor, thai tome of our instructors ate a bit unfair in grading
some of Ol, However, we should meet them hallway. We should let them know
we arc seeking knowledge rather than grades. The sad part is that we prove to
our instructors that wo arc doing just the opposite.
Wo tail to squcoie every ounco of knowledge from every class we attend.
We foil to study each book carefully to learn overy possible thing we can.
We fail to make every teacher explain problems we don't understand
Therefore, wc tail to hove the lime in our life to make every hour count because
we think we dislike the textbook, or the course or the instructor.
Too many of us look al study as an avocation rather than a vocation. Wc scorn
to favor "pushing cookies" and "playing the block" (if I'm permitted to use those
terms) to serious study
Permit me to explain that there's nothing wrong with having funj however,
we should devote more ol our time to study.
On my way to class the other day I overheard John Doc tell another student,
"I'd be more than glad to got a C from professor X. I just wanl to get by.
I don't need that course anyway." John Doe's comment should come to u* ai a
shock, but, let's face it, these words are typical ol a good many of us who attend
Savannah State,
I Ihink, Mr. Editor, that it is time we students re-doltne our purpose for being

WHAT WE THINK CHRISTMAS IS
By Dclom Moss
\s v,<- approach Christmas, when the heart of man responds more
nol.lv t > the goodness of life, the grandeur of the human spirit, and
llir dignil) of human personality than perhaps at any other time of
the year, may we pause in reverence and adoration
^^^^ jiI the imparl made hy the Master Teacher on
mM human civilization.
^H It is truly a lime when children's faces glow
brighter, when man exhibits more kindness with
^tfci>jP lb'' harmony of creation,
^^ May we see beyond die tinsel and glitter the
^^^^^^^^ true elm racier of Mini whose birlh we celebrate
(mm I and may we exemplify it in lives of service to,
^^^^^^^^^^ and a love and respect for, our fellowman through-
Doloris Moss out the world.
Let us stop for a few moments and think about
what Christmas really is, what il really means. In realizing; the true
meaning, I feel we want to start this Christmas anew,
i liristmas i-. celebration; and celebration is instinct in the heart.
With L'ifl and feasl, with scarlet ribbon and fresh green bough, with
merriment and the sound of musir, we commend the day-oasis in the
long, long landscape of the commonplace. Through how many centuries
through how many threatening circumstances, has Christmas been
celebrated since thai cry came ringing down the ages, "Fear not for,
behold, I bring you good lidings of great joy, which shall be to all
people. For unlo you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
winch is Christ the Lord."
Christmas is celebration, but the traditions that cluster sweetly
around the day have significance only if they translate the hearts'
intention- the yearning of llie human spirit lo encompass and express
faith and hope and love. Without this intention, the gift is hare, and
celebration a touch of tinsel, and the time without meaning.
\- lliese attributes exemplify the divine spark in mankind, in-
formed the first Christmas and have survived the onslaughts of re-
lentless lime, so do they shine untarnished in this present year of
our Lord.
Faith and hope and love, which cannot he bought or sold or
barlered hut only given away, are the wetlsprings, firm and deep, of
Christmas celebration. These are the gifts without price, the ornaments
incapable of imitation, discovered only within oneself and therefore
unique. They are not always easy lo come by: but they are in un-
limited supply, ever in the province of all.
This Christmas, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend.
Dismiss suspicion, and replace it with trusl. Write a love letter. Share
some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your
loyally in word and deed. Keep a promise. Kind the time. Forego a
grudge. Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if you were wrong.
Try to understand. Flout envy. Examine your demands on others.
Think first of someone else. Appreciate. Be kind; be gentle. Laugh
a little more. Deserve confidence. Take up arms against malice.
Decry complacency. Express your gratitude.
Go to church. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child.
Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.
Speak your love. Speak it again. Speak it still once again.
These are but inklings of a vast category; a mere scratching of
the surface. They are simple things; you have heard them all before;
hut their influence has never been measured.
Christmas is celebration, and there is no celebration that compares
with the realization of its true meaning with the sudden stirring of
the heart that has extended itself toward the care of life. Then, only
then, is it possible to grasp the significance of that first Christmas
to savor in the inward ear the wild, sweet music of the angel choir;
to envision the star-struck sky, and glimpse, behind the eyelids, the
raj of light that fell athwart a darkened path and changed the world.
I hope this message will be of some inspiration in helping some-
one realize the true meaning of Christmas Not so long ago when 1 first
realized the real and true meaning of Christmas 1 was inspired to
write this poem:
THANK YOU DEAR GOD
Thank you, dear God, for letting Christ be born;
On that bright and beautiful Christmas morn.
For the loving Virgin Mary, who gave Christ His birth,
Had it not been for her, He may have never reached earlh.
And had He not come, Oh had He not come,
It would have been harder this old race to run.
Life without happiness, life without fun;
Oh my Lord, what would we have done?
He came into this world such a lowly child,
So tender, so kind, so meek and so mild;
Only to die for a world of sin, hate, and strife,
So that we might gain eternal life.
An Idea
In Operation
By Halloray Benjamin
From the very beginning of his
ixislence, man has, and always
L ~\
will, -''arch for
knowledge. H i s
unparalled heart
and i n q uisilive
mind have led him
u*JL more than once,
Y^fSf^^ down the path to
_^A^r ^^1 danger and some-
^^Ha A^BB times ultimate de-
ll. Benjamin slruction with bis
unprecedented flow of knowledge.
And, man admits that, even
though he has gained impressive
inroads in the search for knowl-
edge, he is but at the very edge
of the vast galaxy of ideas. For
what is unknown represents a
vastness which, if you will agree.
is far greater than our present
imaginations will allow us to con-
template. As life and time are un-
ending, as space itself means an
eternity of infinity, so men's
knowledge will never be satisfied.
Through eons of existence yet to
come, until the very twilight of
life on this planet, man will con-
tinue to ask the one question
w hy.
And so, as if prefacing with the
idea that man and his ideas are
not yet in the infant stage. I think
il is far more challenging and
much more stimulating to specu-
late on what man doesn't know.
For here, only the limit of one's
imagination is the boundary.
If you will, agree with the
premise that whatever man may
imagine, no matter how im-
possible, improbable, or ridiculous
it may sound, it is possible. After
all possibilities and probabilities
are in conjunction with the formu-
lation of the nucleus of thought
ilself.
With an idea in operation, man
must continue to search for
knowledge to provide opportuni-
ties, understanding, new advance-
ments, and leadership in all com-
munities throughout the nation.
All that is required is the ability
lo iniliate an idea with the
thought of accomplishing it.
Christmas and What
It Means to Me
By Ivia Jenkins
At this time, as we approach the
Christmas season, nothing seems
to interest me more than Christ-
mas because it is a time of com-
memoration of the birth of the
Christ Child: As well as a time
when petitioners of peace and the
pursuers of good will are working
their hardest. Christmas Day is a
day for reconciliation of peace
and good will which makes one
feel more charitable and more re-
ligious.
Already many plans are being
made to observe the day of Christ-
mas. To each, the meaning may
be a different one:
1. To a child, Christmas may
mean: Expecting Santa
Claus, or to once again hear
the beautiful stories of the
birth of Christ as portrayed
through stories and songs.
It may mean the feeling of
security as exemplified by
the strong bond of love be-
tween a mother and her son.
2. To parents, Christmas may
mean a financial considera-
tion. A struggle to pay the
bills as a result of the Christ-
mas shopping.
3. To the merchant, it may
mean extra buying for the
occasion and also extra
profit to his credit.
4. To the Atheist, Christmas
means nothing, for he does
not believe in Christ.
5. To the Christians, Christmas
is to celebrate the solemn
occasion of the birth of
Jesus Christ, to recognize
Him as a Savior of the
Black Power:
Shh . . . not so Loud ,
The past summer months saw
the demise of SNCC, a civil rights
organization for which many
Americans once held much esteem.
SNCC's death is partially due
to the new doctrines which it
preaches to the Negro: violence
in place of nonviolence.
SNCC should understand that
society cannot give its citizens
the right to break the law.
Violence is nothing new. For
whole nations have been involved
in riots, rebellion and revolution.
But this can't justify terror in
Robert Joiner
the North or in the South. No in-
dividual or group at any time, for
any reason, has a right to exact
self-determined retribution.
Justice delayed is no excuse for
anti-justice. The demand for
equality can't be converted into
a fight for superiority.
Our grievances must be settled
in the courts and not in the streets.
Muscle is no substitute for
morality. We must insist that men
use their minds not their biceps.

Lower the Voting Age?
(ACP) A Central Michigan
University freshman is heading an
organization which is waging a
state-wide campaign to lower
Michigan's voting age requirement
to 18 in the November election,
the Central Michigan Life reports.
Andy Marks is chairman of
Youth Equal Suffrage (YES I, one
of several organizations seeking
electoral support for the change.
Marks claims Michigan is being
used as a test case for the nation-
wide issue because it is a highly
industrialized northern state with
one of the largest education ex-
penditures in the country.
He also claims great support
throughout the state, including
support of the Young Democrats
and Young Republicans, who to-
gether have raised $10,000 for
billboards, leaflets and bumper
stickers.
The Michigan Citizens Commit-
tee for the Vote at 18, affiliated
with the National Student Associa-
tion, and the Young Americans for
Freedom have also come out for
the 18-year-old franchise.
Major candidates from both
parties, including Gov. George
Romney, Zolton Ferency, G. Men-
world, and it is a time to
give with pleasure. A Chris-
tian looks forward to Christ-
mas with love in his heart
for all men, and a greater
desire to live a better life in
Christ.
This is what Christmas means
to me. What does it mean to you?
nen Williams and Robert Griffin
have included their endorsements.
Would the enfranchisement of
18-year-olds change the voting pat-
terns of the electorate? Studies so
far have been inconclusive, but a
report of the 1061 Michigan Con-
stitutional Convention indicated
the following predictions based on
their research:
1. The new electors will not
have as high a turnout rate as
older voters.
2. They will probably h a v e
weaker party attachments than
their elders.
3. They will probably not dis-
play any markedly different pat-
tern of political choice than any
other voters under 30.
More and more universities are
finding it advantageous to operate
on a year-round basis, reports the
December Reader's Digest. In re-
cent years the number of uni-
versities operating on a four-
quarter plan (distinct from
ordinary summer sessions ) has
grown from half a dozen to more
than 70, with others considering
year-round programs.
The lobster is one of the world's
favorite seafoods, reports the
December Reader's Digest, with
diners shelling out almost S100
million last year for the crustacean.
While the average "eating" lobster
weighs only about a pound,
weights of 25 pounds or more are
not uncommon.

State College Branch
Savannah. Georgia 31400
Dear Mr. Joiner:
A belated congratulations on winning one of the 1966 Ed-Press
Awards for Excellence!
We are always in search of new ideas and new approaches to
educational journalism here at Texas Classroom Teachers Association.
Since our monthly newspaper, TCTA NEWS, was also an Ed-Press
winner this year, perhaps we can arrange a mutually beneficial ex-
change of publications.
As a start, 1 am sending you a copy of the November issue of the
NEWS. You will be placed on our regular mailing list beginning with
the December issue.
Education publications such as yours suggest ideas for new services
and new programs that we can adapt to the needs of Texas teachers,
and provide a journalistic challenge for the NEWS staff. Therefore,
we would certainly enjoy receiving and reading Tiger's Roar if that
can be arranged.
Again, congratulations.
Sincerely yours,
(Mrs.) Korey Bresenhan

Two SSC Students Get Kindle Loans
Nelson R. Freeman, dean of stu-
dents at Savannah State, reports
that Barry Ellis and Curtis Hicks,
freshman chemistry majors at the
college, have been selected to re-
ceive loans from the Kindle Foun-
dation for Education.
The Kindle Foundation was es-
tablished to make interest free
loans to students of considerable
talent and willingness to work who
would not otherwise be able to
have a college education. The stu-
dent repays the loan at the rate of
10' | of their salary after gradua-
tion. The loan is then used for an-
other student.
Harry Ellis is a resident of Brax-
ton. He was graduated from Car-
ver High in Douglas as the suluta-
torian of his class.
Curtis Hicks is a native of
White Oak, and third honor grad-
uate of Ralph Buncbe High School
in Woodbine.
The loans for Hicks and Ellis
will continue throughout this
school year at the rate of Sl,U0O
per year and will continue until
they have graduated from Savan-
nah State.
Three faculty members and a
student from the Chemistry De-
partment at Savannah State Col-
lege attended the monthly meeting
of the Coastal Empire Section of
the American Chemical Society.
Dr. Robert \V. Johnson, presi-
dent-elect of the society, attended
the meeting along with Dr. Charles
Pratt, head of the department of
chemistry at Savannah State, Dr.
K. B. Raut and Miss Odessa Wil-
liams, a junior chemistry major
at the college.
The Fisher Scientific Company
sponsored an instrument display
at the meeting.
The speaker at the meeting was
Dr. C. J. Collins, researcher at
Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
His topic was "A Study of the
Mechanistic Rearrangements by
the use of Radioactive Isotopes."

Dread To Register?
Not Anymore
By Mary Beal
In today's world there are many
things which cannot be avoided.
This is also true in colleges and
universities: at the beginning of
each quarter or semester registra-
tion especially cannot be avoided.
Students have labelled registra-
tion as a tedious task which leaves
them temporarily mentally de-
pressed after long hours of con-
tinuous waiting. However, our
registration system is being im-
proved.
Students seemingly favor pre-
registration: however, this is only
one segment of registration. It was
confirmed by the Registrar that
pie-registration material will be
computerized and those who failed
to pre-register will encounter
some of the disadvantages of
registering.
Through the use of the com-
puter system and pre-registration.
the Registrar will be able to
recognize in advance what courses
will be closed and this will help
to accelerate the process.
It was also confirmed that stu-
dents who desire to avoid some of
the problems arising in meeting
financial obligations at registra-
tion may pay their fees in ad-

If you are one of the students
who dread registration please take
this under consideration and you
may discover that registration is
not as tiresome as it seems. You
may also help the Registrar by
complying with the registration

The first Library Lecture of the
school term was held Nov. 14, at
8 p.m. in Meldrim Auditorium at
Savannah State College. Dr. Da-
vid Riesman, Lecturer in the De-
partment of Social Relations, Har-
vard University, was the speaker.
Dr. Riesman, a native Philadel-
phian, is a graduate of William
Penn Charter School, Harvard
College and the Harvard Law
School. After his graduate work
he spent a year as Law Clerk to
Mr. Justice Brandeis of the U. S.
Supreme Court, a year of law
practice in Boston, and then four
years as Professor of Law at the
University of Buffalo Law School.
During the Second World War
he worked for Sperry Gyroscope
Company as Contract Termination
Director, and studied psychoanaly-
sis with Erich Fromm and Harry-
Stack Sullivan of the William
Alanson White Psychiatric Insti-
tute.
After the war, Mr. Riesman
helped to develop the undergradu-
ate general education courses in
the social sciences at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, and taught in the
Sociology Department.
Since 1958 he has held the
Henry Ford II Professorship of
the Social Sciences at Harvard.
He is the author of numerous
books and essays. Of bis works
the best known is the book The
Lonely Crowd. Other important
works are; Faces in the Crowd, a
book on f eblen, and Constraint
and Variety in American Educa-
tion. With Christopher jencks, a
Fellow of the Institute for Policy
Studies in Washington, D. C, a
new organization of which Mr.
Riesman is a trustee, he is working
on a book tentatively entitled The
Academic Revolution dealing with
shifts in the university scene in
the present era.
Mr. Riesman is the founder and
one of the editors of the Corre-
spondent, a journal of critical
analysis primarily concerned with
foreign affairs. He is a Fellow of
Quincy House, one of the residen-
tial houses in which Harvard
undergraduates live, and he con-
ducts a General Education course
for undergraduates on American
Character and Society.
The speaker, who has had an
illustrious career as a lawyer, au-
thor, and educator, addressed
himself to the topic, "America's
Changing Society."
Fastest-growing crime in the
nation is burglary, according to
the December Reader's Digest.
Burglars make off with S284
million worth of valuables each
year. A burglar enters somebody's
premises every 28 seconds on
average.

ARCHAEOLOGY FOR BEGINNERS
NEW OXFORD SUMMER SCHOOL
From Our Special Correspondent
April, according to Chaucer, was
the season when people longed to
set forth on pilgrimages. July and
August are the months for summer
courses, which in our secular
society serve much the same pur-
pose of combining the worthiest of
aims with the maximum of mirth.
And nowhere are the summer
courses thicker on the ground than
in the university cities of Oxford
and Cambridge.
This summer has brought to Oxford
a new type of course. One can only
wonder that it was not thought of be-
fore, and now that it has started it is
difficult to sec where it will slop. The
idea is the essentially simple one of
bringing American students to study
and work on British archaeological
excavations.
Britain has more sites wailing to be
excavated than it has cither money or
skilled labour available to do the exca-
vation. Meanwhile motorways und
gravel-diggers arc each week destroying
the evidence of the past. Large numbers
of amateurs do turn out in the summer
mostly the products of winter extra-
mural classes, but there is still room for
more. And though there is no doubt
that most of these people have only a
limited knowledge, most directors of
excavation arc happy to have people
with an intelligent interest in what they
of the subject. It divides into three
weeks of lectures, visits, and practical
demonstration of techniques, all based
on Westminster College, Oxford, and
three weeks in which the students are
allocated individually or in small groups
to excavations all over the country.
The director of the course, Mr.
Desmond Collins believes in introduc-
ing some practical training as soon as
possible. Some lime is inevitably spent
on fixing ihe terminologies and chrono-
logies, alihiuiyli students have been sent
a reading list beforehand to reduce the
need for this; but soon they get on to
elementary surveying, section drawing,
classification and interpretation of finds,
or in oihcr words, Ihe student is taught
in kiioa how important even seemingly
insignificant bits of stone can be, what
can be deduced from them, and how
viial method is in an operation which
once done cannot he undone. Finds
are handled and discussed in Ihe seminar
rooms and also on sites where excava-
tion is in progress. Studcnls confessed
to some bewilderment at times, but
were enthused by doing the real thing.
getting their hands dirly from the start.
The guesl lecturers loo, came with
mud on iheir boots: Sir Ian Richmond,
professor of classical archaeology at
Oxford lo report on his Hod Hill exca-
vations, and Dr. Graham Websler from
a Unman villa in the Cotswolds. Per-
haps hecause it is still a fairly young
subject, perhaps because Ihe practical
side of the work keeps specialists in
students working on the site of u Roman villa in the
Cotswolds
arc doing. Besides, they come for their
board and lodging or less, and arc
therefore cheaper to use lhan hired
unskilled labour.
Archaeology in the United Slates is
necessarily less various in ils subject-
matier lhan is the case in Europe.
Amerindian work has the advantage
that there is the standing comparison of
living Indian cultures, but it connects
very little with ihe European literary
and political Iraditions which are
studied in ihe arls subjects in which
many amalcur archaeologists are
trained. The allernativc for the Ameri-
can student is lo study his own early
colonial period, which is not mosl
people's idea of what archaeology.
It is not therefore surprising that Ihe
first seminar on British Archaeology
organised specifically for American non-
specialist students by the Association
for Cultural Exchange, of Haverhill,
Suffolk, should have drawn 60 young
men and women from all over the
United States, including one from
Honolulu. All are college students
either in their final year, or on a post-
graduate course. Quite a few are study-
ing anthropology (very few places do
archaeology al undergraduate level) but
most are drawn from English and his-
tory dcpartmenls.
One merit of ihe American university
system of "credits" is that it offers
students some palpable incentive to
undertake work on fringe subjects. The
students at Oxford will actually be
advancing their college careers, since
the course is recognised for credits by
their universities.
The Oxford course is basically an
introduction to the theory and practice
touch with amateurs, archaeology seems
still able to produce ihis type of speaker
who is able lo describe what is in fact
part of his own research lo the intelli-
gent beginner.
Now ihe Americans have moved off
from Oxford for the "digs" to which
they will be attached all over the
counlry from Skye to Chichester, on
sites ranging from ihosc over 100.000
years old as at High Lodge in Suffolk
to medieval King's Lynn as revealed by
recent redevelopment. They have all
specialised a lillle, in the prc-historic,
Roman or medieval periods. They have
each done a project on a subject such
as "The Roman Villa" in which they
were expected lo check ihe information
they found in books against what they
could find in museums and on the
ground. All have some familiarity with
terms and objects and will not be
entirely confused by what they find on
the sites; one or two talk of specialising
in archaeology.
Now there are three weeks of work,
during which ihe conditions of life will
be harder than in ihe Oxford college.
This has its own attraction, if only be-
cause it makes (he whole thing possible
at a price within reach of Ihe average
student. The course does not meet again
as a group except to fly back to the
United States. This is perhaps a pity,
and another year things may be
arranged differently. A few days in
which students could exchange their
experiences and ask questions about
where their particular excavation fitted
into the general picture would be of
obvious benefit.

Yule Tide Is A 'Comin' lit
Despite concern over the Viet
Nam war, the uncertain perform-
ance of the stock market, faster-
than-creeping inflation, and other
things that have happened, some
of which may seem untrue, hut
they are very much true. The fol-
lowing information comes from
"The Guinness Book of World
Records."
The heaviest recorded human of
all time was the 6-feet-tall Robert
Earl Hughes, of Fish Hook. Illi-
nois. He was an 11 -lb. baby and
weighed 378 lbs. at the age of 10.
His highest recorded weight was
1,069 lbs. early in 1958. He also
possessed the greatest recorded
girth at 121 inches and a chest
measure! nen t of 122 inches. He
died on July 10th, 1958 at Bremen,
fossa, aged .V2, and was buried at
Renville Cemetery near Mount
Sterling, Illinois. His coffin, meas-
uring 7 feet by & feet -1 inches and
weighing over 1,100 lbs., had to
be lowered by crane.
Currently the world's heaviest
man is Charles "Tiny" Kinsey
I U.S.A. I , last reported to weigh
777 lbs.
'I he heaviest recorded woman
was a Negress who died in Balti-
more, in 1888, scaling 850 lbs.
Thinnest liuninns. The lowest
recorded human body weight was
the 12 lbs. of the Welshman. Hop-
kin Hopkins, at his death in Gla-
morganshire in March, 1754, At
no time in his 17 years of life did
he attain a weight of more than
the 17 lbs. be scaled at 11 sears.
It is recorded that the biceps meas-
urement of the Frenchman. Claude
Seaurat, was -1 inches at the age
of 26 and that the distance be-
tween his hack and chest was '3
inches.
Slimming. The greatest record-
ed slimming feat was that of the
American circus fat lady, Mrs. Ce-
lesta Gyer, 58, alias Dolls Dimple,
reported in April, 1959. In four
months she reduced from 555 lbs.
down to 120 lbs. Her vital sta-
tistics diminished from B4-B4-79 to
34-28-36.
Reprodm tivity. The greatest
number of children produced by
a mother in an independently at-
tested case is that of the wife of
the Russian, Fedor Vassilet, who
in 27 confinements, gave birth to
69 children I 16 pairs of twins, 7
sets of triplets and I sets of quad-
ruplelsl. Few of the children sur-
vived infancy. Mmc. Vassilet be-
came so renowned that she was
presented at the court of Czar
Alexander 11.
Longest Delay. The greatest re-
problems the American consumer
will be going out in the next few
weeks on the greatest Christmas
shopping spree in history.
The Bureau of Advertising pre-
dicts that holiday retail sales this
year will total more than S9
billion, which means that in many
areas business will be up 10 per
cent over last year's record high.
The Bureau points out that retail
sales for the year have already
been running 7 per cent over 1965,
and there is nothing on the horizon
lo threaten a downturn in these
last two months. Disposable in-
come in the hands of consumers
is at an all-time high, and beyond
that, the American public shows
no sign of easing off on its easy
use "f consumer credit.
Another estimate by the Bureau
of Advertising is that the average
family will purchase 30.4 gifts
this Christinas season (who gets
that A gift poor Dad?) and will
spend an average of S1H3.54. The
retailer w h o advertises most
aggressively will undoubtedly get
the largest share of this spending.
Are you prepared now to help
YOl R retail accounts with their
ad programs? The staff will feel
encouraged because selling is easy,
but this shouldn't mean that the
staff should try to get by with as
little effort as possible. It is still
imperative to work bard on at-
tractive layouts, to think about
and arrange for more local pic-
tures in ails, to spend time con-
ferring with accounts on the items
which svill move best among col-
lege shoppers.
Rut Christmas time is not the
only late fall linage - builder.
Political candidates are likely to
use college newspapers more than
ever before ill areas where there
are close contests. The Thanks-
giving season offers many good
promotional possibilities. In some
areas the ski season will be starl-
ing and. of course, there's the big
entl-of-year travel rush.
More and more, it seems, Ameri-
cans are dissatisfied with where
the) are. If they're in a svarm
climate, they are likely lo rush
off u> snow-covered slopes; if
they're in the north tbe\ want a
vacation in the south: if they're
in the inland areas they want to
go tn the coasts, and if they're on
the coast they want 10 leave the
corded interval between the birth
of twins is 136 days in a ease re-

TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY
I know how busy you are studying, going: to class, help-
ing old grads find their dentures after Homecoming but,
hark, the Yuletide is almost upon us and it's time we
turned our thoughts to Christmas shopping.
We'll start with the hardest gift problem of all : what to
give the man who has everything. Well sir, here are some
things I'll bet he doesn't have: 1 ) A dentist's chair. 2) A
Mach number. 3) A street map of Perth, Australia. 4)
Fifty pounds of chicken fat. 5) A pack of Personna Super
Stainless Steel Blades.
"What?" you exclaim, your eyebrows leaping in wild
incredulity. "The man who has everything doesn't have
Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades? What arrant non-
sense!" you scotf, making a coarse gesture.
But I insist. The mail who has everything doesn't have
Personna because everyone in the dorm is always borrow-
ing them. And small wonder! Wouldn't you be there svith
an empty razor and a supplicating sidle if you heard some-
body had super-blades that were super-sharp and super-
durable; that scrape not, neither do they nick; that shave
you easily and breezily, quickly and slickly, scratchlessly
and matchlessly, that come both in Double-Edge style and
Injector style? Of course you would!
So here is our first gift suggestion. If you know a man
who shaves with Personna, give him a safe.
Next let us take up the thorny problem of buying gifts
when you have no money. Well sir, there are many won-
derful gifts which cost hardly anything. A bottle of good
clear water, for example, is always welcome. A nice smooth
rock makes a charming paperweight. In fact, one Christ-
mas back in my own college days, these are exactly the
gifts I gave a beauteous coed named Norma Glebe. I took
a rock, a bottle of water, a bit of ribbon, and attached a
card with this tender sentiment:
Here's some water
And here's a rock.
I love you. daughter,
Around the clock.
Norma was so moved, she seized the rock, smashed the
bottle, and plunged the jagged edge into my sternum.
Here now is a lovely gift for an American History major
a bronze statuette of Millard Fillmore with a clock in
the stomach. tMr. Fillmore, incidentally, was the only
American president with a clock in his stomach. James K.
Polk had a stem-winder in his head and William Henry
Harrison chimed the quarter-hour, but only Mr. Fillmore
of all our chief executives had a clock in his stomach.
Franklin Pierce had a sweep second hand and Zachary
Taylor had 17 jewels and Martin Van Buren ticked but, I
repeat, Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Fillmore alone had a clock
in his stomach. Moreover, Mr. Fillmore was the first presi-
dent with power steering. No wonder they called him
"Old Hickory!")
But I digress. Returning to Christmas gifts, here's one
that's sure to please-a gift certificate from the American
Society of Chiropractors. Accompanying each certificate
is this fetching little poem:
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,
Joyous sacro-iliac!
May your spine forever shine,
Blessings on your aching back!
May your lumbar ne'er grow number,
May your backbone ne'er dislodge,
May your caudal never dawdle,
Joyeux Noel! Heureux massage!

And greetings of the season from the makers of

Injector, and from Per$anna*s partner in shoving lux-
ury, Burma-Shave, regular or menthol.
country. The rapidly growing
travel industry thus has many
facets, and virtually all of them
believe in advertising. They aren't
always savvy, though, about the
use cif media, and college ad-
vertising staffs have a big job to
do in selling the campus news-
paper as a medium. So get going
a little traveling music, maestro!

Mow Significant
An i Grade Point
Averages?
I AC Pl Col lege students around
the nation are constantly worrying
about their grade point averages,
yet the significance of the CPA
SCCms to be questioned more all
the lime, says the Western Herald,
Western Michigan University,
Kalamazoo. Michigan. The most
recent questions were raised by
iwo studies that show no direct
relationship between the college
grade point average and pro-
fessional success.
The two studies were conducted
among fellowship winners among
Columbia University graduates
and among a group of physicians.
The first showed that students who
had graduated with honors, won
scholastic medals or were elected
lo Phi Beta Kappa were more
likely to be found in the "lower
professional levels" than students
who had not distinguished I hem-
selves in such ways. The second
showed no such tendency but
merely found there was no connec-
tion between grade point averages
in medical school a n d the
physician's later success.
Too often, however, decisions
as to whether to hire a college
graduate are based at least parti)
on the grade point average. It is
difficult to blame employers for
this, however, when educational
instil ii I ions continue to place as
much emphasis on grades as they
do. with determination of awards
and scholarships, part-time jobs
and organization officerships de-
pendent on them.
The grade point is the child of
the university. It was born there,
nurtured there and is now at work
there. It must, therefore, be the
university that will take the
initiative in recognizing the grade
point for what it is and the
boundaries in which il can
legitimately be applied.

ONE FINE NOVEMBER DAY, autumn abruptly
and we find ourselves on the near edge of winter.
down, the leaves cascade, and sooner or later the fii
crop up. Gone is the casual atmosphere of the ea
first semester; it's time to settle down to some
seasonal shift will also signal a major transition
apparel. Here are a. few fashion trends to keep in
about creating your winter wardrobe.
"BLACK SPRUCE" is the most fashionable
phrase in a college man's apparel this season. Com-
bining lustrous blue and sparkling green cross-
weaves on rich black backgrounds, the Black
Spruce formula spearheads the trend toward more
positive, darker casts. In tailored apparel, the all-
over effect of the blue-green interweave occasion-
ally creates a striking Black Spruce application
in soft plaids, subtle stripings, and a broad range
of herringbone patterns. However, the major fash-
ion accent falls on color and texture. The lighter
overtones frequently contribute a moderately lus-
trous appearance, and. though the pendulum sti
swings in favor of smooth-type surfaces, many
fashion-conscious college men prefer a slightly
irregular or "nubbed" finish.
WELTERWEIGHTS, in campus suits and outercoats for fall and
winter '66, feature heftier, bulky-looking fabrics. Loosely-spun
woolens and other fabric blends combine with crisp tailoring for
on-campus wear. In Welterweight suits, traditionally-minded col-
lege men will hold fast to the conservative look of Natural Shoulder
styling: the straight-hanging, 3-button mode] with a notched
lapel and center vent. The campus fashion vanguard will prefer a
modified Shaped Look featuring a modest waist suppression, wider
lapels, and deep side vents.
WARMTH WITHOUT WEIGHT characterises the new campus Wei-
terweight outercoats. Weaves and textures run the gamut ...from
tweeds and camelhairs to heftier twills. But whether selected for
dressy or casual wear. Welterweight topcoats follow one all-im-
portant fashion dictate: they will be shorter. Knee-length is the
outer limit; above the knee is preferred. For dressy occasions, the
darker colors predominate: dark blues, grays, and, of course, Black
Spruce. For the casual scene, you'll find a wide range of browns,
from clay to charred casts, will vie with crisp, colorful heather
blends.
COORDINATION IS THE KEY to a well turned out
appearance throughout the year. This season many
American manufacturers are offering college men
an instant solution to the "What to Wear with
What" problem: totally coordinated, campus-
oriented apparel outfits. A typical "Match-Ups"
ensemble might include a shirt, sweater, jacket,
slacks and bat coordinated from complementary
mix-and-match yarns, fabrics, styles and colors.
For example: a hefty sport jacket in a bold dark
blue and moss green check ; a V-neck sweater with
a dark blue cable stitch in front and a moss green
accent border surrounding the neck; a pair of
basket-weave slacks in n blue and green heather
mixture; a herringbone weave oxford cloth shirt;
and a cloth hat made of the same fabric of either
the jacket or slacks.
RUGGED TURNABOUTS MAKE THE SCENE this
season reviving the once popular and still im-
mensely practical reversible coat idea. From a
purely economical point of view, the big revival
of the reversibles will be a welcome addition to the
wardrobes of most college men. From an equally
important styling point of view, you'll find them
crisply tailored along classic lines. Look for them
in a variety of combinations: smooth polyester
fibers blended with cotton or wool and processed
for water repellency that turn about to heavier
fabrics like lofty tweeds, herringbones, or diago-
nals in heather blends, plaids, checks, and allover
stripe ideas. Or look for smooth fabrics that re-
verse to deep, furry pile fabrics.
COMES DECEMBER... comes the merciful Holiday break from
the academic routine. Next month as you're preparing to set off
for your "breather," we'll cover both the formalwear scene and the
latest fashion trends for the ski slopes. So whether you're count-
ing on a bright Christmas inside or a white one outside, we'll have
the latest fashion bulletins on what's happening this mid-winter
season. See you then.

Precautions Mav
Save Your Life
On Highways
Americans are using old driving
habits on new highways: as a re-
sult thousands of us are being
needlessly killed and injured, savs
an article in the April Reader's
Digest.
High-speed expressways call for
a few simple precautions and some
advance planning, writes James
Nathan Miller. Using them can
make your next trip safer and
more enjoyable.
The first rule of expresswaj
driving is to check your gas and
tires before you set off on a trip.
Stopping to change a flat or
running out of gas is a nuisance
on any road; on an expressway it
can be fatal. If you must stop, get
as far off the road onto the
shoulder as possible. If there is
no shoulder, get all passengers out
of the car on the side away from
traffic.
Co back along the road waving
traffic off. Don't stop until you
are several hundred feet behind
your car; keep waving cars away
until police arrive.
If you see somebody stranded
like this, don't stop; notify the
first available policeman or toll
collector.
Another habit that can be lethal
in expressway driving is failure to
map a route in advance, to
determine exactly where you will
be luining off. Over half of all
expressway accidents are at the

aspect the administration desires.

READING IS WHAT'S HAPPENING
After hearing the inspiring delivery by Mr. Josey al our last all-
college assembly. I am inclined to comment on the content of his speech.
I am in full agreement with Mr. Josey when he slated that more students
should read more. It is vcrj noticeable, especially in survey courses
that there's a lark id well-read students. The current events that we hear
On radio and read in tin- daily newspapers and periodicals are good in
i heir place. However, wc should also have an interest in the background
of these current events.
The "heller" literature should he read In more people. Sure, prac-
tical!) everyone has read Shakespeare's Macbeth, Golding's i-onl of
Hamlet, The Iliad and The Odyssey, and the $car/e( i cUer .
Vlosl "i these were selections that were probablj touched upon in high
school English and literature i nurses. It is inn- thai we prefei seeing
a movie if a greol I k. rather than read il ourselves. However, we
-land reminded that in man) cases the movies do not contain the full
rontenl ol Hie written version, Certainly one could have gotten a better
insighi into the Lowmun familj upon reading the play Death of a Sales-
man by Arthur Miller. In a few instances, we see copies of some good
litenir) works floating around campus, but we seem to have a "don't
toui h" altitude t< ward them.
Our library, despite its size, has a fairly good collection of works
'hit might want to read foi pleasure. Such works as Man and
Superman (Shawl, Candidc (Voltaire), the Bible, Notes From the
Underground ( Dostoyevsky ) , Beowulf, The Good Earth (Buck). Brave
Sew World (Huxley). The Prince (Macbiavelli), and 1984 (Orwell)
an easilj provide hours of Information, pleasure and entertainment.
Iheiehy discussion groups ami reports in history, literature and English
tnight prove to be more meaningful to us. il is enlightening for example,
in a western culture class to be able to point mil and discuss intelligently
and from ii firsthand point of view Machiavellian concepts as explained
m The Prince or to discuss the great Russian author Dostoyevsky,
If time isn't available to read the full length literary works, the
book store has ;i collection of inexpensive outlines to some literary
works. Nevertheless, the more we read, the more we know and the
hettei we can discuss, because reading is what's happening!

ATTENTION STUDENT BODY!
The officers and members of the National Association of the Ad-
vancement of Colored People are happy to share with the student body
and college family their present activities and future plans To be-in
we have organized on campus what is known as the "Soap Box Sound
Ulf, where the student body may bring their complaints concerning
the school and administration. Secondly, our meetings are held on
Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. We invite all students and friends to come
out and help us discuss the various items and complaints which have
been brought up at the Soap Box Sound Off.
We are also a member of SCORE (Student Congress On Racial
tquahty) among Armstrong State and Savannah State College This
group holds their regular meetings every Friday night, at either of the
schools Jor further information, please contact any member of SCORE
01 the iNAACP. May it again be said that we are pleading with every
student on this campus and those who are making ihe complaints every
Ihursday. to give us your full and complete cooperation, if we are to
make any progress toward solving our problems.
Thank You.
Examinations
Defeat Purpose
Of Education
(ACPt Do tests really con-
Iribule anything to education?
asks the Campus Chat, North
Texas Slate University.
They are not an infallible
measure of a student's academic
ability, nor do they prompt the
student lo develop his talents and
interests to ihe fullest.
Hut because professors place
such great emphasis on the out-
come of exams, the student begins
to play a giant guessing game
what will the professor have on
his lest?
Two students converse. One
says, "Don't read chapter nine.
George had Professor X last
semester and he said there are no
questions from that chapter."
"Thanks." the other says. "By
the way. I beard he asks only de-
la i led questions, so don't bother
with the big stuff."
Meanwhile, a third student
might be busy selling copies of
lests.
Like computers, these students
tend to spit back memorized
knowledge while their own ideas
decay. They don't have lime to
develop their own ideas because
they're too busy playing the guess-
in- game. Such a system defeats
the purpose of higher education.
How could students be evalu-
ated? Give them passing or failing
grades based on the amount of
work they do? Let them do re-
search papers and use their own
ideas instead of memorizing some-
one else's. The elimination of
tests would make courses more
enjoyable, more interesting and
mmc meaningful for both teacher
and student. "
VOTE
REASONABLY!
By Halloray Benjamin
Election time is almost here and
we urge each student to analyze
each candidate on the basis of the
candidate's platform and qualifi-
cations.
In order to be reasonable in
this matter, we urge you to clear
your conscious of
all prejudice and
elect the person
whom you feel
will work in the
best interest of
the student body.
One's fraternity
brother or soror-
ity sister or best
H. Benjamin friend is not al-
ways the most qualified candi-
date. School integrity must pre-
vail over selfish motives. In judg-
ing the candidates, reasoning and
analysis should precede friend-
ship and favoritism.
Although we endorse no specific
candidate, we feel that the candi-
date who includes some of the
following points in his platform
is working in the best interest of
the students:
1. Establish a two-party system.
2. Work toward more student
participation in the selection of
college speakers.
3. Attempt to change the re-
quirement that juniors and seniors
attend vesper.
4. Attempt to change the re-
quirement that male students wear
ties to Sunday lunch.
The various candidates will in-
clude several other points in their
platform. We urge you to study
and weigh each platform carefully
and vole according to what you
think the candidate will do to
benefit the student body.

What This School
MLf-_,
Needs is A Good
.idininistrotion-to-
Student TtdU
v>*
By Robert L. Joiner, II
K 5 ^
It is gelling hot again and many
of State's students are becoming
more and more discontent. "Soap
Box Sound Off" was organ-
ized to give students a chance to
slate their problems overtly. A
campus organization has volun-
tarily scrutinized most of these
problems to see if workable solu-
tions can be found.
During one of the meetings,
questions concerning the limited
celebrities and speakers appearing
on campus were raised. Two other
students and I volunteered to look
into the matter. Upon cheeking
with the dean of students, it was
learned that SSC could not afford
as man) popular celebrities and
speakers as it would like. The
prices which these speakers and
celebrities asked exceeded the
amount of money allocated for
entertainment.
The same applies to a number
of other student problems. There
simply isn't enough money in the
activity budget to do a number
of thing*. What about an activity
fee increase? Then sludenls would
really complain.
Despite the fads, students con-
tinue to criticize the same prob-
lems. This type of criticism will
not cease as long as students are
uninformed.
Therefore, the college may easily
solve this problem of criticism by
informing the student body about
the limits of the school's finance.
Delaying to take action by the
college may lead to more student
reaction.
"Soap Box Sound Off" is a good
way to voice opinions and perhaps
the best way to be unheard. Very
few students participate in the
"sound off"; therefore, the real
message doesn't travel very far.
Students not interested enough to
participate in "sound off." are
contented to receive secondhand
information from other students.
Many students welcome the chance
lo distort information and to spark
trouble. If this distorted informa-
tion gets out of hand, rumors will
soon permeate the campus and
students will become uneasy; they
will begin to push.
Recent history has taught us the
story behind people who become
uneasy, push and spread rumors.
The situation usually leads to what
seems lo be a spontaneous com-
bustion. Surely the college is
prudent enough to act in time to
prevent would-be trouble.
In reiteration, it is felt thai the
college would do well to call an all
student assembly. The students
would be able to direct their ques-
tions to the proper authorities.
Students would be able in turn to
receive firsthand factual informa-
tion. This kind of assembly would
both educate and impress a lot of
students. And, no doubt, such a
meeting would dissolve a lot of
rumors which might later lead to
serious misconduct.
STRAIGHT TALK
By Walker Durham
While I was sitting in the stu-
dent center one day, a group of
students were sitting at a table
talking about almost anything that
you could name. As time passed
by and as talk went on someone
broke the variety and began talk-
ing about SSC. Like a "Flash" I
took out my pen and began to
write. The conversation went like
this: "You know SSC is still about
as dead as it was >ears ago." "You
can say that again." "There is
nothing to do but the same old
thing day in and day out." '"We
don't have any of the big-time
activities on our campus like there
are on other campuses." "We may
get one good person once a year.
but the rest they could keep."
"Whoever is in charge of present-
ing things here doesn't know what
students like." "We have never
had any of the popular people like
James Brown. Ray Charles. Jerry
Butler and people of this nature."
Afler the students talked about
activities for a while, some student
got the ball rolling when he
mentioned something about the
school's business operation. "Let's
talk about the business policies of
this place." he said. "I think this
school has the poorest business
operation of any place 1 have ever
seen. I don't mean the Business
Department either. I am talking
about those people in the
Registrar's and Business Offices.
They are so unbusiness like. I
understand that the students who
work on campus have a heck of a
time trying to get their checks,
but they will worry you to death
if you owe them. Another thing,
they are sure that all errors go
against you and not them. As if
they were perfect."
The thing that most students are
talking about now, is the fact that
some students were forced to drop
courses after being in them half
of the quarter. The school said
that they were on academic pro-
bation. "How is a student to know-
be is on probation if the school
Walker Durham
doesn't tell him before the quarter
starts? Why would they permit
him to register for a full load.
only to have him reduce it after
mid-quarter?" "1 think this very
unfair to the sludenls. Some stu-
denls were doing well in classes
thej had to drop." "But the main
point is. why did they permit the
students to register? Some of these
students bad spent lots of money
for equipment." "Well what is
going to happen to the money that
the students paid for 15 hours.
when they have only ten, or less?
Will they get a refund? If not.
why? It is not the students' fault
they were permitted to register."
Well, at this point it was about
time for me to go, but you can
see that I should have had a really
splendid time listening and writ-
ing. Just before I left, they began
talking about teachers and how
terrible some of them are. I didn't
want to leave then, because I could
have added something to that con-
versation. Maybe I will catch up
on it next time around.

"The Best Laid Plans of
Mice and Men Are
Often Turned Asunder"
By Jacqueline Kyles
Dear Jackye.
When we were younger my girl
and I realized that we shared a
love that surpasses all others.
From that time on we've planned
our entire life together. Everything
we endeavored to do was done
together including going to the
same college. We decided not to
get married until we'd graduated
from college. Here we are at the
close of our senior year and she
says that what we thought we had
was only a farce and she doesn't
love me. After all this time she
says she doesn't love me. 1 love
this girl the only girl in my life
more than I love living and no
one can convince me that she
doesn't feel the same towards me,
yet she wards out what am I to
do? What? How am 1 to follow-
through with my dreams without
my heart?
Hurt
Dear Hurt,
Shakespeare stated that "the
course of true love never runs
smooth," however if it is true love
on the part of your girl, someday,
somehow, she'll return to you. In
the meantime bear in mind that
"The best laul plans of mice and
men are often turned asunder.''
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
What is your advice to a fellow
who loves a girl but she doesn't
know it. And how can he tell her.
if he doesn't know if she really
loves him?
Lonely Heart
Dear Lonely Heart,
Have you stopped to think about
the possibility that this girl might
be feeling the same way about
you, and wondering how she
should let you knoiv? It happens
that way sometimes you know.
Someone has to break the ice, so
why not you. At least you have
nothing to lose.
Jackye
Dear Jackye,
What's your remedy for a guy
and a girl who are in love with
each other but don't want In be?
We have nolhing in common and
we know it, and we argue quite
often. Have you ever seen the likes
of such a thing?

No. I haven't!

He wants to go every place 1 go or

this problem?

Dear Two.
Try doing him that same way
for a couple of days and see how
he likes "Them" apples. He sun-
to follow him to places like the
barber shop! He'll soon get your
point.

It's not that I feel responsible

WHO'S GOT THE BUTTON?
I'm sure it has not escaped your notice that underlying;
the adorable whimsy which has made this column such a
popular favorite among my wife and my little dog Spot,
there is a serious attempt to stay abreast of the problems
that beset the American college student.
Many a trip have I made to many a campus-talking to
undergraduates, listening to their troubles, heaving their
grievances, reading their buttons. (Incidentally, the sec-
ond and third most popular buttons I saw on my last trip
were: "WALLACE BEERY LIVES" and "FLUORI-
DATE MUSCATEL." The first most popular button was,
as we all know. "SCRAP THE SCRAPE" which is worn,
as we all know, by Personna Super Stainless Steel Blade
users who, as we all know, are proud to proclaim to the
world that they have found a blade which gives them
luxury shave after luxury shave, which comes both in
double-edge style and Injector style, which does indeed
scrap the scrape, negate the nick, peel the pull, and oust
the ouch, which shaves so closely and quickly and truly
and beautifully that my heart leaps to tell of it. ( If per-
haps you think me too effusive about Personna, I ask you
to remember that to me Personna is more than just a
razor blade; it is also an employer.)
But I digress. I make frequent trips, as I say, to learn
what is currently vexing the American undergraduate.
Last week, for example, while visiting a prominent Eas-
tern university (Idaho State) I talked to a number of
engineering seniors who posed a serious question. Like
all students, they had come to college burning to Jill them-
selves with culture, but, alas, because of all their science
requirements, they simply had had no time to take the
liberal arts courses their young souls lusted after. "Are
we doomed," they asked piteously, "to go through life
uncultured?"
I answered with a resounding "No!" I told them the
culture they had missed in college, they would pick up
after graduation. I explained that today's enlightened
corporations are setting up on-the-job liberal arts pro-
grams for the newly employed engineering graduate-
courses designed to fill his culture gap-for the truly en-
lightened corporation realizes that the truly cultured em-
ployee is the truly valuable employee.
To illustrate, I cited the well-known case of Champert
Sigafoosof Purdue.
When Champert, having completed his degree in wing
nuts and flanges, reported to the enlightened corporation
where he had accepted employment, he was not rushed
forthwith to a drawing board. He was first installed in
the enlightened corporation's training campus. Here he
was given a beanie, a room-mate, and a copy of the com-
pany rouser, and the enlightened corporation proceeded
to fill the gap in his,culture.
First he was taught to read, then to print capital let-
ters, then capital and small letters. (There was also an
attempt to teach him script, but it was ultimately
abandoned.)
From these fundamentals, Champert progressed slowly
but steadily through the more complex disciplines. He
was diligent, and the corporation was patient, and in the
end they were well rewarded, for when Champert fin-
ished, he could play a clavier, parse a sentence, and name
all the Electors of Bavaria.
Poised and cultured, Champert was promptly placed in
an important executive position. I am pleased to report
that he served with immense distinction-not, however,
for long because three days later he reached retirement
age.
Today, still spry, he lives in St. Petersburg, Florida,
where he supplements his pension by parsing sentences
for tourists. * * * ir, m Show*
Here's a sentence that's easy to parse: Subject- "you."
y e rb- "double." Object "your shaving comfort when
you use Burma-Shave, regular or menthol, along with
your Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades."

THE COUNTDOWN TO SUMMER is felt from one corner of the
campus to the other. The race is on to finish papers, cover the terms

YAF-YAC-PAC
The < ollegiale Press Service
WASHINGTON it PS) "oung
Vmericans for Freedom is getting
younger all the lime.
I he i onservative organization
has recentlj dropped programs to
mobilize the young voter while
adding a new division for high
schoolers.
Almost a hundred secondary
school chapters have been char-
tered in the two years YAP has
been actively recruiting them,
Executive Dire-tor David Jones
said in a recent interview. Things
have been going so well, he con-
tinued, that the national office is
setting up a special high school de-
partment. YAF, primarily a col-
!-.- organization since its found-
ing in 1960, has found lhat it pays
to organize people early.
High school students, many of
them coming from conservative
backgrounds, are searching for
causes and are eager to discuss the
issues, lories said. Won over early,
ihe student going on to college
often assumes a leader-hip position
there.
Jones' remarks followed by sev-
eral weeks the demise of another
YAF aim. the Political Action
Committee. YAC-PAC was engi-
neered last fall to develop a strong
organization capable of dealing di-
rectly with the voter.
In its first effort, which "left
much to be desired," according to
Jones, YAF-PAC focused on the
upcoming congressional elections,
attempting n> assist friendly can-
didates.
YAF National Chairman Tom
Huston expressed the thinking he-
bind the venture last year when lie
said that "YAI's most urgent task
is to int. LI together a political co-
alition which can gain the support
of a majority of the people and
invesl us with governmental au-
thor] t]
.Now, however, the tactics have
been reconsidered. Young con-
servatives are no) going to he any
less active in the Republican Party,
Jones indicated, but YAF thinks it
can be more effective by educating
them than by trying to coordinate
their manpower directly.
Nevertheless, Jones' thoughts
about Republican presidential can-
didates in 1968 indicate that YAF
is not planning to drop out of the
political arena by any means.
"For the young conservative,"
Ronald Reagan is the only clearcut
choice, he said, "but Reagan will
probably not be nominated."
Rejecting Michigan's Governor
George Romney as far too liberal,
Jones concluded that perhaps the
"practical view" fell on Richard
Nixon. From the conservative per-
spective, Nixon has a good anti-
communist stand and he cam-
paigns on a sound fiscal program,
Jones noted.
The trouble is. he said, Nixon
is unwilling to speak out against
"unconstitutional issues" such as
civil rights legislation, and he sup-
ports some "big government" leg-
islation just to get votes.
VOTE! So
You Can Argue !
MAKE A BIG SPLASH with the latest look in swim suits. For the
uninhibited set, there's nothing better than the Tarzan style loin-
cloth swimsuits we highlighted in the February column. For more
conventional good looks, we like the new lightweight quick-drying
cotton corduroy swim-play shorts. Style runs the gamut from ex-
tension waist band to belted models and from brief to surfer length
leg. Bright color is the keynote for "67. Yellow, green and gold
bathing trunks are getting the biggest play and the multi-color
stripe straight hanging jersies are a natural to top them off. The
colorful cover-ups are not only smart looking but tailor made to
suit every taste. You can choose anything from a cool, sleeveless
boat neck to a free swinging mock turtle neck shirt with % length
sleeves.
THE HEADLINE STORY is the new bold geometric, paisley or
native print cotton hats that are designed for beach or holiday
wear. It's the hat that's fun to wear, looks well on and just may
change a bareheaded generation of college men into a nation of hat
men. Both the round and flat top models are always worn brim
down.
GO NATIVE in this season's Mexican.
Aztec or African inspired print button
down collar sport shirts. Solid color
slacks or walk shorts in bright shades
handsomely accent the bold shirts. Or,
reverse the order and sport the colorful
native print slacks with a solid shirt. A
couple of pairs of western style jeans or
chinos round out the basic casual equip-
ment.
IHt bUuKLESS LOOK and common sense have come to terms.
While we like the look of bare ankles with certain casual clothes
we know it's harmful to feet and murder on shoes. So, we recom-
mend you slip on the new mini socks that preserve the naked look
and offer protection at the same time, For sportswear you can't go
wrong with the new smooth leather reverse suede casual shoes in
either the slip-on or eyelit tie model. Color is generating a lot of
excitement in daytime footwear. Choose from a wide range of tan,
gold, pastel green, blue or burgundy. Other newsworthy footnotes
are the easy going sandals in a wide range of leathers and colors.
fiS
ANYTHING GOES during the day but when the
sun goes down there are plenty of places, even on
the casual summer circuit that won't let you in
without a coat and tie. The look we like best is a
navy or medium blue double breasted blazer with
white stitching. Tie on a printed silk tie in the new
wider widths and you're ready to do the town. If
this summer will see you making an important
entry into the business world, a lightweight wool
and polyester suit in any of the new lighter colora-
tions will see yon handsomely through the hectic
days ahead. And for the avant garde, a double
breasted or 2-button model suit is an excellent
choice.
TIME TO RING DOWN THE CURTAIN on another academic year.
So, whether you plan to surf, soak up some rays or try the junior
executive life, make the most of it and have a ball this summer ! Au
revoir until the fall when we'll be back with the scoop on Back-to-
College fashions. See you in September.

SSC Gets Money For
Regent's Scholarships
Savannah Stale College has received a 5.800 allocation, to be
used for Regents' Scholarships, from the University System of Georgia.
Only a resident of Georgia is eligible to receive a Regents' Scholarship.
In order to be considered, an applicant must rank in the top 25
percent of his class if he has been enrolled in college previously, or
must be predicted to achieve such a standing if he will be a beginning
student in college.
A scholarship is awarded only to an applicant who does not have
funds available from other sources for expenses necessary in obtaining
a college education.
The scholarships are available for any phase of higher education,
from the freshman class through graduate school, in most fields of study
offered in the Universit) System institutions.
Applications for scholarships are due at Savannah State College
on April 29, to become effective in September, at the beginning of the
academic year. The majority of these scholarships cover the full
academic year of nine months, or three quarters. A recipient may renew
a scholarship for as long as he continues to meet all eligibility require-
ments.
Each person receiving a Regents' Scholarship is expected to work
in Georgia after receiving his college education. Each year of such
employment reduces by $1,000 the recipient's obligation for the total
amount of scholarships received. Any recipient who does not work in
the State is expected to repay the amount received, plus interest.
All inquiries concerning applications or other details of the scholar-
ships should be directed as sooti as possible to Director of Student Aid.

Those few seconds of decision
are critical: hesitation, changing

most dangerous of all. stopping

Athletic Ticket
Sales Drop
(ACP| The sale of season ath-
letic tickets to students at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota is the lowest
it has been since 1943.
Between 25 and 30 per cent of
the students bought tickets this
year, compared to 35 per cent last
year, 37 per cent in 1964 and 44
per cent in 1963.
The tickets, sold on a lottery
basis for $15, are exchangeable
for a ticket covering winter and
spring quarter sports after the

group disbanded. Bill was hired
by Ella Fitzgerald to be her
pianist anil arranger.
While accompanying Miss Fitz-
gerald. Bill free-lanced as arranger
for Jimmy Lunceford, Count Basic
and Louis Armstrong. In L947,
Bill became chief arranger for
Lionel Hampton's band and from
there joined Louis Jordan and His
Tympany Five as pianist and
arranger. It was with Jordan that
the two musicians who were
destined to create "a new sound
in the world of swing," met. Bill
Davis, formerly pianist with Louis
Jordan, was leaving to exploit an
idea he had for the Hammond
Organ.
Several years later. Bill Davis,
"The Rage of the Hammond
Organ," was re-hired by his old
boss, Louis Jordan to play a tour
of theatres. Doggett was intrigued
and six months later he too left
Jordan to study the Hammond
Organ. Once he had mastered the
instrument. Bill got an oppor-
tunity to accompany his old
friend Ella Fitzgerald on the re-
cording sessions that produced
"Smooth Sailing." "Air Mail
"per id and "Rough Riding."
Three hits catapulted Bill Doggett.
making him the most sought after
recording organist in the country.
In June, 1952, Bill Doggett with
his newly organized combo opened
a A eto York's celebrated Baby
Grand Club and started the excite-
ment thai culminated a year later
in the 1053 "Record Revieivers'
Rhythm and Blues Finalist Award"
and for "Honk Tonk Part One and
Part Two" the title of Number
One Instrumentalist Group" in
polls conducted by CASH BOX
and BILLBOARD. Bill received
two gold records and three gold
statue awards.
After several years of record
hits like "Slow Walk," "Ram-
Bunk-Shus," "Hold It" and
"Moondust," and six great
albums; "3,046 People Danced All
Night," "The Band With A Beat,"
"Bill Doggett Swings." "Oops,"
"Prelude To the Blues" and
"Fingertips," Doggett had become
an institution!
football season is over.
Ticket manager Shirley Koi-
blick said she did not know why
sales were so poor because there
was more publicity this year. "My
own theory is that perhaps school
is more difficult now and maybe
students spend less time on leisure
activities," she said.
Athletic Director Marsh Ryman
said the Athletic Department
would make an exhaustive study
of the reasons for the declining
ticket sales and then make sales
plans accordingly.

Soaring tuition rates, the rising
cost of room and board and other
extras are increasing the expense
of going to college. But there are
ways for the student to lower the
high cost of learning. Here are
some tips from Ingenue Magazine

live like a prince on campus, You
can:
Track Meet
Edward Waters placed first in
nine <>f 1 7 events and scored a
total of 74 points to win the South-
eastern Athletic Conference title

SSC. finished second with 53
points followed by Florida Me-
morial with 19. All three teams
received trophies and received stiff
competition from Albany. Paine,
and Morris College that rounded
out the 18th annual event.
Water's utility man, Lewis Davis
and SSC's miler. two miler, and
relay man William Alderman were
co-winners of the MVP award and
both will receive trophies. Charles
E. Witherspoon. Water's track
coach, was voted coach of the year
in the conference, an award won
by SSC track coach Richard Wash-
ington last season.
SSC will make their last ap-
pearance of the season when they
travel to Alabama for the Tuskegee
Relays. During the season, the
Tigers have placed second in two
meets and won two, with James
Woods and Alderman receiving
MVP awards.

A Letter To
The President
May 15, 1967
Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., President
Savannah State t College
Savannah, Geoi gia
Deai Dr. Jordan:
After consulting other members of the student body, I wish to make
the Following requests and recommendations:
1 1 i That freshman female students be granted two evening leaves
per week ending at 11:15 p.m.
(2) Dial sophoi female students he granted three evening
leaves per week ending at 11:15 p.m. That sophomore female
students he granted individual shopping privileges.
(3) Tli.it junior female students he granted three evening leaves
pe week ending at 12 midnight and three afternoon leaves
per week.
hid That senior female students he granted three leaves per week
ending at 1 a.m. and three afternoon leaves per week.
I. 5) That the practice of signing out at 7 p.m. for on-campus
destinations he abolished. (The student should still, however,
I-- required to sign out for off-eamjius destinations.)
((I That ear privileges, with parental consent, be granted to all
female students after the first quarter of attendance at Sa-
i annah Stale College.
(7) That the praeliee of requiring all male students to wear ties
to dinner on Sunday he abolished.
|H) 1 wish to recommend that Dormitory Directors be requested
not to make up land enforce) regulations that conflict with
those issued by the Office of Dean of Students.
(91 I wish to recommend that students' final grades he posted by
faculty members and listed according to student number in
some central and conspicuous location as soon as they are
prepared.
til) I I request that the Committee on Campus Life be composed
of an equal number of student and faculty members with each
member having one vote.
Ill) I request that the Student Advisory Committee have Equal
student and faculty representations with each member having
one vote.
Item- 1 through 4 are simply relaxations of 'the present regulations
that have been needed for some time. As you will note, there is an
increase in privileges with classification. If approved. 1 recommend
that items 1 througli 4 become effective at the beginning of the next
academic year.
There is no apparent reason to sign out at 7 p.m. for an on-campus
destination. There is no reason for a person to leave the Library lor
student center), to go to the dormitory and sign out to return to the
same place. If item 5 is approved, 1 recommend that it become effective
immediately after it is announced that it has been approved.
In reference to item 6, the senior female students presently enjoy
car privileges with parental consent. It is the opinion of this office
(which reflects the opinion of many students! that if a parent will file
a "Statement of Permission to Ride in Cars" with the Office of the
Dean of Women, that the said privileges should he granted. It is
recommended that item 6. if approved, become effective at the be-
ginning uf the next academic year.
In reference to wearing ties, this office agrees that the wearing of
a tie is appropriate for Sunday dinner, but the student should be allowed
to decide for himself that he wishes to wear a tie. If approved, 1 recom-
mend that item 7 become effective immediately after it is announced
that it has been approved.
It has been called to my attention that the Dormitory Directors
(item 8.1 impose regulations that are not listed among those published
by the Dean of Student's Office, i.e., locking the door before the time
listed in the regulations, requiring the female students to double-date,
not allowing the drinking of soft drinks in the lobby, etc. I feel that
these practices should be abolished as soon as possible.
The implementation of item 9 would provide students with a quick
knowledge of their performance during the past quarter and should
lessen the number of students who are listed on the deficiency list that
register for an overload the following quarter.
The Committee on Campus Life is responsible for bringing cultural
and entertaining artists to our campus for the enrichment and enjoy-
ment of our students. I therefore feel that students should have a
greater representation on this important committee.
The duties of the Student Advisory Committee are somewhat to
those of a court and I feel that the student charged should be con-
fronted and questioned by more of his peers than has been the case
in the past.
There is a need on our campus for a counseling service to aid
students in the selection of a major that is more in line with the stu-
dent's aptitude. This can be done by offering a series of tests (in ad-
dition to those given during Freshmen Orientation) that will measure
the student's aptitude, e.g., to see if the student is science-minded,
history-minded, etc. This will probably lessen the number of students
A Tribute
To Seniors
By Mary L. Beal
There is a saying that there
are two roads to success. It is most
obvious that you have traveled
and are still traveling one of
those. Keep your mind on this
road to success and you are likely
to succeed in life.
While traveling this road you
probably had some flat tires, or
maybe a few blow-outs, gave out
of gas, ran into a storm, got a
few traffic tickets or even made
a couple of detours. Nevertheless
it appears that you used each of
these obstacles as another ounce of
determination in reaching your
destination.
[f you travel by ship instead
you are faced with the probability
of rough waters, ran into a storm
or even becoming sea sick before
docking ; however, your voyage
this far seems to have been otie
of few difficulties.
You are not limited to traveling
in vehicles which are limited to
land or sea, you are now eligible
to board a plane, which means
reaching your destination faster.
If you travel by plane, make sure
your seat belt is fastened before
taking off and landing because
there are times when there is
rough landing.
It does not matter what form of
transportation you use as long as
you do not completely detour from
the road to success.
Some of you travel at a slow
rate; some travel at a moderate
rate. There are still others who
travel at a fast rate. Nonetheless,
it seems as though all of you have
reached one t raf f ic light, which
reads "CAUTION." at the same
time.
You have overcome the diffi-
culties which you encountered on
part of your journey and have
arrived at one of the most
decisive points in making this
journey a success. It also appears
that this "caution light" is at a
cross road where each of you must
determine which route is the best
to travel from this point on to
travel until your journey has
ended.
However, as you continue this
journey keep this phrase in mind,
"Keep on pushing, do not stop
now, move up a little higheV some
way. some how."
The Tiger's Roar staff joins me
in wishing you the best of luck
in your future endeavors.

Spotlight Y>7
Meets Students
Spotlight '67, the theme of the
1967 Tiger was met with much
approval from the SSC student
body.
The theme was expertly carried
throughout the pages of the
annual on each division page.
There was notably a high degree
of student cooperation for the
book. Mr. Wilbur McAfee was
honored by having the publication
dedicated to him. The students en-
joyed the vivid color photos of
our queen and her court. President
Jordan and others. Many student
activity shots were included to
show the full realm of campus life
here at SSC.
The superb leadership and
journalistic abilities of Johnny
Davis, the editor, was shown with
this superb production.
Rebel
Without
A Cause
On May 4, we. the student body of Savannah State College, elected
a new slate of officers for the '67-'68 school term. As a result of our
confidence in certain people, we elected them. We, at our first "Talk-
In" decided to allow President-elect Lang to carry our grievances
to President Jordan and have a progress report read at the next meeting.
However, 1 remind you that before Lang had a decent chance to get
anything done and before we heard of the progress he had made an
unorganized "break-out" occurred. I further remind you that I, also
am a student and a resident in fact, the president of Camilla Hubert
Dormitory, therefore I shared in some of the complaints made concern-
ing the social regulations. But unknown to most of you. on that very
same evening, the Dean of Women held a meeting at her residence for
suggested changes in the dormitory regulations governing the female
residents. All three dorms were represented adequately and each
representative shared in the meeting. The excuse used in C. Hubert
for the conduct that evening was a desire for a change in the rules.
I. personally told many of the residents that we should give the presi-
dent-elect an opportunity to do as we asked of him. Anyone present
could tell that many of the young ladies didn't have the slightest idea
of what was really happening, they (in some eases) just wanted to be
a part of "the happenings" and some persons didn't want to be called
"Chicken-hearted" bv the fellows.
However, the point that many students overlooked is that we had
placed a vote of confidence in the president-elect, before taking things
in our own hands. As many of us heard at the second "Talk-In," the
recommendations that were presented to the President were all ac-
cepted and some went into effect immediately. We should BE matured
young adults to the degree that we can have others take us at our word
and we ourselves should place more value on our "word" than we
demonstrated on the night of the 11th and the morn of the 12th.
In many cities, the actualities of the so-called "riot" were distorted.
It was reported in some newspapers that bricks and rocks were thrown.
a dorm was damaged and that the young ladies were "running loose."
We know that those things were not true, but convincing others might
not be as easy as thought. I plead to you to stand by those that we
elected and give a helping, not hindering hand for the common cause
here at SSC. Our cause should be improvement, not just of social
regulations for the female residents, but of our over all institution
including student participation, academic and cultural events.
Many people were bickering about the newspaper, but stop and
understand. The student participation for this newspaper is so limited
that in reality, our paper is published by approximately half dozen
people. We bicker, but when were needed constructively, we won 1 !
help this seems rather inconsistent. Notices have been posted asking
for participation but to no avail. So as you read this edition, bear in
mind your complaints, but don't forget your denial to help.

REPORTERS, WHY?
Savannah State College is fortunate enough to have organizations
on its campus centered around each of its departments. Each class is
also organized. Greek letter organizations play a major role on the
campus as well as academically geared organizations.
When officers are elected to these clubs and fraternal groups, a
reporter is also elected. My question is, why? If the newspaper staff
decided that a paper must be published, it has to go out and solicit
news, in some cases "beg," putting it mildly. It has been mentioned
on our campus that our paper was not published regular enough, but
how is this possible if no one reports any news concerning his activity.
Why are you a reporter? Do you feel that having your name in
the election minutes as being a reporter completes your job? Well, it
does not. You should make bi-weekly or monthly reports to some
member of the newspaper staff in writing concerning your organiza-
tion's activities.
Please remember that no news can be printed that the public re-
lations division does not know about. Also keep in mind why you
elected a reporter and the reporter most of all should keep in mind
what he is to do. The only way that we can make our newspaper
better or the best, is through the support of the student body.
Reporters, why? To relay the messages of interest to the news
public.
M. Dukes
that change their majors during their first or second year of attend-
ance at Savannah State.
It is suggested that the administration study the possibilities of
establishing such a counseling service.
Many students would like to have the Student Center open until a
later hour. Since this is a majority opinino I suggest that the Student
Center be open until 10 p.m. on weeknights and 11 p.m. on the
weekend.
Also I suggest that the swimming pool be open for a longer period
of time and on more days than is the case presently.
I respectfully request your immediate consideration of the fore-
going recommendations, requests, and suggestions.
Respectfully yours,

President-elect and

Letters To The Editor . . .
As SCORE Sees It
By H. Harmon
General Chairman of SCORE
Wake Up and Look Around You!
The problem at Savannah State
College is not the social rules that
restrict women in the dormitories.
nor the outdated practice of re-
quiring students to dress for Sun-
day dinner, nor even the trouble-
some and seemingly useless prac-
tice of requiring on-campus resi-
dents to attend vesper services on
Sunday. Rather, as we see it, the
problem at SSC is academic, and
it's the student who really needs
to "wake up."
If the student does not realize
that he is being short-changed by
these academic deficiencies there
is no hope for a significant change
in the near future.
The System: I know, as a stu-
dent, that it's hard for a student
to make a self-evaluation of his
educational accomplishments, be-
cause the student in today's col-
lege is too grade-conscious. Grades
do have a definite bearing on your
future, especially if you are
planning to go on to grad school
or med school or something of
this nature. But when you go into
the "job rat race," and even in
the applicable phase of the afore-
mentioned fields, these grades
mean little if you don't have the
knowledge that is "expected" to
have produced these grades. On
the job market the employer is
not interested in the fact that you
are a Negro, and that the Negro
race has been deprived culturally,
socially, and educationally for a
hundred years or better. The em-
ployer is only interested in
whether or not you can "cut the
mustard." i.e.. do the job that he
has in mind. If you can't compete
with the whites, as far as these
ability tests are concerned, you
are just out of the picture. Studies
show that Negro B.A.'s and M.A.'s
just don't come up to standards.
These B.A.'s and M.A.'s just can't
compete with the white and even
other Negro competitors from
Northern colleges. And this is
where our problem lies.
The Southern Negro college
and also the white ethnic colleges
have been put, in reality, years
behind the majority of white in-
stitutions. Furthermore, these de-
ficiencies have set up a vicious
cycle or system of deficiencies.
The system works something like
this: The college student, usually
in the field of education, never
reaches his full potential. This is
due mainly to the inadequacy of
faculty, curriculum, and general
lack of an intellectual atmosphere.
And even worse, the student is not
motivated or eager to obtain the
higher goals of education. There-
fore he falls into the rut of second-
rate education. This student, now
a graduate, usually goes back to
his small home town and soon
starts work in the public school
system. Because most of his thirst
for knowledge and interest is gone,
he cannot interest or motivate his

Deep Concern
By Tommy Elder
There was recently a talk-in
held on our campus. The idea of
the talk-in originated from a re-
cent lecture given by Mr. E. J.
Josey, former librarian, on
academics. A group of SCORE-
NAACP students that was pro-
foundly concerned felt it needed
to clear the air on just how State
stands academically. The possi-
bility of State's being second rate
resulted in a call to the adminis-
tration and faculty to define just
where we were on the escalator
of academic achievement.
At the talk-in a very valid state-
ment was made as to just where
our emphasis should be placed
on academics. Should we be hypo-
critical and place the majority of
our meager financial resources on
extra-curricular activities or be
more realistic and concentrate on
an intensified academic upgrad-
(Continued on Page 6)
Dear Editor:
I was absolutely surprised at
seeing a small representation of
the faculty members at the "Teach-
In." Why weren't more of them
present ? Do they actually care
how the students feel about their
civil liberties and academic stand-
ards at Savannah Slate College?
Is it that the administration has
intimidated the students?
It has been said that our
teachers are more interested in
their checks each month than in
anything else. Of course, I am
of the belief that this is not true.
I would like to believe that our
teachers are dedicated to seeing
that, we, the students get a good
education. I am sure some of the
instructors were very busy
sitting in their offices making
preparations for the next class,
while others, maybe, were grading
papers which they probably will
return to the students in two or
three weeks after the exams. Per-
haps still others were reading the
financial page of their newspapers
to see if there had been any
fluctuations in the stocks in which
they had made an investment.
We have been told that if you
have grievances, they should go
through proper channels. Is it not
true that the channels at Savan-
nah State College are designed in
such a way as to discourage any
student from seeing them through?
Grievances going through the
channels have about as much of a
chance as I would if I tried to
get Senator Russell to use his in-
fluence to abolish tuition at Geor-
gia's stale colleges. I'm sure, the
results would be the same in both
cases negative!

up the scheme as some of you say
about the May 10 "Talk-In."
But speaking for myself, it was
a good idea no matter who really

say that I was the one who thought
up this brilliant idea, but the
persons who thought up this idea
were those of you that shared
your ideas with us on our "Soap-

Dear Editor:
I am deeply concerned about
the academic standards at Savan-
nah State College. I am wondering
if you or someone on the staff
with some authority could answer
some questions for me?
First of all. concerning the mis-
understanding of the "Teach in,"
it seems that some of the faculty
members think that the white
professors are the cause of it, and
I wonder why? They also think
that the "teach in" was related to
the incident of Thursday night.
May 11, 1967. The events of that
evening did not come out of the
"teach in." I want to make it
known that we want to he noted
academically, and not so much
socially.
We, the student body, love and
respect Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr.,
our president. We want him to
continue with his progress. I per-
sonally think he is doing a good
job, but some of the members on
the faculty are ill-equipped, and
they are not qualified to teach.
Some of them pass students on
whether they like them or not.
The teachers that are poorly
equipped in turn cripple the stu-
dents, which causes a lot of stu-
dents to be sent home or to be
placed on probation. If a student
is so fortunate as to make it
through Savannah State College,
he in turn goes back to high
school or elementary school and
cripples his students.
1 deeply feel that the faculty
should be analyzed because some
of the Negro teachers think that
the white instructors are "brain-
washing" us, but we are actually
finally making a "great awaken-
ing." After all, the students suffer
the consequences. Some of the
faculty need to make the "awak-
ening" also.
Sylvester Singleton
President Jordan answers complaints.
FACULTY ANSWERS CHARGES
Editor:
It i> the time. I believe, to
clarify my position: my reasons
for coming to Savannah State,
my objectives, and my intentions
for next year.
It is unfortunate that certain
rumors are being spread about
my being an "outside agitator"
who is trying to bring about
"chaos" at Savannah State and
then move on at the end of this
academic year. The college ad-
ministration has helped to create
many rumors with certain recent
statements.
It seems that I should first state-
why I am at Savannah State.
After completing all course re-
quirements toward the Ph.D. de-
gree in political science at the
University of Iowa, 1 thought I
would get some teaching experi-
ence while researching my doc-
toral dissertation on Southern
politics, including the last Georgia
election. It was through Dr.
Robert Rcid, former Dean of
Faculty at SSC, that I came to this
college. He convinced me that the
school was moving progressively
forward, and that there would be
an opportunity and a challenge
to build a political science depart-
ment. Nothing "revolutionary"
here!
It was shocking to find out
that Dr. Rcid was leaving SSC
to return to Tuskegee Institute
at the end of last summer, and
that Mr. E. J. Josey, former SSC
librarian, was also going. It
seemed the progressive forces
were leaving, but it was good to
see new people joining the faculty.
It just happened that some of
these people were also Caucasian,
Those that left were Negro.
Last summer while teaching in
the Savannah Slate Upward Bound
project, I was approached by Miss
Marva DcLoach who asked me to
become advisor to the campus
chapter of the NAACP. because
the advisor. Mr. Josey, was
leaving. It was from my advisor-
ship with this group that the idea
of a group for Armstrong-Savan-
nah State students should be
formed. The group calling itself
SCORE came from this idea.
The doors of both groups are open
to the administration, faculty,
students, and community to see
what "agitation" is being created
there ! One should not rely on
second-hand reports of the pro-
ceedings!
I have taken the President at
his word when he claimed that
Savannah State has full "academic
freedom," and my classes in social
science have been a forum for the
clash of different ideas and
opinions. I have encouraged my
students to disagree with me, and
I try to get them to base their
opinions on fact and reason. About
the most "revolutionary" thing
here is that I have expected my
students to do the work, to read
beyond the textbook, to write, to
think, and to meet me half-way
in academic pursuits. The door of
my classroom is open to the ad-
ministration, faculty, students,
and community to see what
"agitation" is being created there!
One should not rely on second-
hand reports of the proceedings!
The "Soap Box Sound Off" was
my idea, but the "Teach-In" of
May 10th was not, but rather
came from an idea of Mr. Josey 's
(an "outside agitator?") , after

The Tiger's Roar
Savannah Stale College
Dear Sir:
Confusion and controversy seem
to be reigning at a time when all
persons associated wilh Savannah
Slate College should be engaging
in clear thinking, honest revalua-
tion, and forthright analysis of
the situation.
Current criticism of Negro col-
leges by men like David Rirsman,
Christopher Jencks, and Earl Mc-
Grath has stimulated much dis-
cussion on this campus and that
is good. Colleges are, in Clark
Kerr's words, "marketplaces of
ideas," and when we have ceased
to discuss ideas freely, no mailer
how uncongenial they may be to
our accepted ways of thinking, we
have ceased lo fulfill the most im-
portant obligation of a college.
There is a bad side lo lliis dis-
cusion, however. Unfortunately,
we are making a racial issue out
of a question lhat was and is
meant to be an academic issue
only. This is not to say that the
Croblcms of the Negro college can
c divorced from the bitter seeds
of segregation from which these
institutions sprang; it is merely
to suggest that we must under-
stand our situation in terms of
what we are actually achieving
compared to what we should be
achieving. If the foundations of
the past are sandy, we cannot
build on them. We must seek new
foundations anchored in the reali-
ties of ihe present and looking
forward to the ideals of the future.
I am particularly concerned, as
a new member of the SSC faculty,
that allegations of "brainwashing"
have been casually flung about. If
exposure to new ideas and the
consequent revaluations of ac-
cepted ways of thinking and act-
ing are considered "brainwash-
ing," then we must consider the
great minds of our civilization,
from Socrates to Sartre, guilty. If
instead we realize that new ideas
and the free, untrammeled pur-
suit and understanding of them
is the primary function of a col-
lege, then we will have matured
considerably in our striving for
a higher education in the most
meaningful and significant terms.
I, for one, have faith in the
ability of the students at SSC to
judge the matter for themselves:
to rely on facts, not on some so-
called "brainwashed" idea; to seek
guidance where necessary; and
to consult their own conscience
and experience when guidance
fails to help. The Reisman report,
the McGrath report, and other
materials pertinent to these studies
are available in ihe library, and I
invite all concerned members of
the academic community to read
and study ihese reports intelli-
gently and objectively. We should
be honest enough to ask ourselves
what our values really are, and
whether these values are consistent
with ihe aims of higher education
as they are understood in modern
America.
Perhaps some readers have
noticed that I have used the plural
pronouns "we" and "our." This
is the way I think of the situation
and my role in it. I am part of
the college, not an "outsider." If
my race is a barrier to understand-
ing the problems at the college,
I cannot help it. I can judge and

Lt. Governor Delivered
Talk To Student Body
George T. Smith, Lt. Governor
of the state of Georgia, delivered
a short talk to the faculty and stu-
dent body of SSC on June 15. Lt.
Governor Smith was introduced by
Anton F. Solms, Jr., Regent, First
District of the University System
of Georgia. This was the Lt. Gov-
ernor's first visit to the campus
of SSC. The auditorium of Ken-
nedy Fine Arts Building was the
scene of the delivery.
Education was the topic of
Smith's, speech. In essence, the im-
portance of education was stressed.
Education, according to the speak-
er, is the key that can unlock the
door to all advantages.
Open House
Sunday, May 14, was the date
of much excitement throughout the
women's dormitories at SSC. The
annual Open House was being held
for the female students here on
campus. The young ladies were
preparing for days, and some even
weeks for this event. There were
window washings, mopping and
waxing and the usual house
(room) cleaning chores. Many
mothers and guardians were pres-
ent as an added attraction. Many
of the young ladies served their
guests refreshments and the like.
It was not too unusual to see
young gentlemen with their white
hankies reaching and dusting in
some corners. This was in order
to see how their female friends
rate as housekeepers.
The Lockett Hall dormitory
council had a refreshment table
set up in their lobby, at a guess,
to lure die fellows from Lester
and Hubert Halls. Many artistic
signs could have been seen on the
doors of many of the young ladies.
In reverse, many females visited
Peacock Hall, to check on the fel-
lows' housekeeping abilities. Many
of the fellows were reportedly un-
prepared for the event. The beau-
tiful rooms of Peacock Hall would
answer the dream of any young
lady, as far as design and facili-
ties are concerned.
Many young ladies had guest
lists available for the signing. Sev-
eral notorious characters decided
to take entire pages, it was re-
ported. All in all, the Open House
was a success. Many young ladies
were beaming with happiness as a
result of it.

his talk at a recent SCORE meet-
ing. The purpose of the "Teach-
In" was to relate the Rcisman re-
port to the academic situation at
SSC, to identif) the college's
strengths and weaknesses, find to
reveal where wc need ii improve.
It was to bring aboul constructive,
nc-l destructive, thinking concern-
ing possible needs foi change and
improvement. Nothing "rcvolu-
tiaua) y" lure!
The disturbances on campus the
past week were not caused, sup-
ported, or condoned by either the
student NAACP or by SCORE.
Rumoi - persist that the leadership
of the "Tcnch-In" and disturbance
are linked, and that 1 am behind
both. These rumors are slanderous
and arc untrue! The administra-
tion insists we have n democracy
<>n campus, that one word against
another is not enough, but that
.u tuul e\ idence is needed. As
rumors and gossip fly, one might
ask f^r actual evidence, and the
burden is on those who make the
charges.
Finally, my plans for next year
include Savannah State. I have
no intention to resign or quit,
nor have 1 done so. The rumors
ili.it I plan to move on next month
are untrue!
This, then, completes my pur-
DOSi objectives, and intentions.
I support progressive, purposeful
i h inge, and not change for the
sake of change, and certainly not
revolutionary anarchism. It seems
ironic to me that a Caucasian
would be linked with Black Power
or Black Nationalism (Oh, what
would the SNCC leadership
think!), while the administration
is pictured as the defender of the
status quo, middle class virtue,
personified by white oligarchic
rule in Georgia. I feel it is time
to quit resorting to emotionalism
based on racial appeals, which is
spread by gossip and not by ideas
and reason.
We have academic and social
problems right here on the campus
of Savannah State College, and
whatever "outside or inside agi-
tators" do exist, as Mayor Ivan
Allen of Atlanta so rationally put
it after the racial disturbances of
last summer in that city, they
merely reflect but do not cause
those problems. To end the ap-
peal of the agitators is to solve
the problems through realistic
programs. If it is contended that
we do not have any problems
needing solutions, then why the
unrest and division among the
students, and why the unwilling-
ness on the part of the adminis-
tration and a good part of the
faculty to discuss the situation at
Savannah Slate? Is the adminis-
tration only capable of telling us,
after a * week's prior notification
and invitation to speak at the
'Teach-In, 1 ' that we are "second-
rate" to Harvard? So I encourage
that the administration, faculty.
Professional Baseball
On the professional scene it
seems as though the Los Angeles
Dodgers and Baltimore Orioles
are having trying limes. The
Dodgers traded off their speed
merchant, Maury Wills and hoped
for the best. However, this with
the lost of Sandy Koufax was too
much for the old "bums" from
Brooklyn to overcome. The retire-
ment "I Koufax and trade of Wills
has denied the Dodgers' champion-
ship hopes. They are now
crappling with the Mets to avoid
[he cellar. Wow! What a differ-
ence a year makes.
The Orioles slill have iheir
forces intact but they have not
been able to generate last year's
vital spark.
Track
It seems as though Tommie
Smith of San Jose Stale i- quirkl\
taking over as the "world's fastest
human." In recent track meels
Smith has broken world records
in the 400 meters and 440 with
limes of 44.8 and 43.1 respec-
tively. These marks break Adolph
Plummer's I960 Olympic marks.
Well sports fans that's aboul all
from the old ink pad for now.
Remember fans, it's not always
whether you have won or lost but
bow you played the game.

evaluate only from my point of
view and hope lo make it clear to
others that I am concerned with
education, not race. When I first
came to SSC, I was not even aware
of the fact that it was a "pre-
dominantly Negro" college. My
plan Mas to find an institution at
which I could get two years of
teaching experience before going
back to graduate school for a
Ph.D. The fact that the institution
I chose is "Negro" makes no
difference lo me. The academic
situation at SSC, in fact, has given
me considerably more leaching
experience than I could have
gained elsewhere, as it Is rare for
a new leather with only an M.A.
to lecture and teach upper-level
courses. For this opportunity, I
am grateful. Bui gratitude must
not be confused with acceptance
and. quite frankly. I deplore some
of the things I have witnessed al
SSC,
My criticisms, however, are not
negative they are intended to
have a positive effect on the
campus. This effect can be realized
only if there is a sincere effort
toward mutual understanding on
all sides. The nebulous and totally
unfounded rumors about "ulterior
motives" on my or anyone else's
part do not represent a sincere
effort at understanding, and those
who cast such aspersions are
filling the slabs of the "market-
place of ideas" with cheap mer-
chandise, merchandise which I
trust will not be bought by think-
ing people.
1 have no intentions of "hitting
and running" as some rumors
would have it. 1 full) intend to
remain at SSC through the sum-
mer and the following academic
year. If there is doubt in anyone's
mind as to the sincerity of the
efforts to raise standards at SSC,
I wish he would bring them up
al the leach-in scheduled for
Wednesday, May 17. This is the
only available public forum for
the open discussion of problems
and students sit down in an open
forum, and discuss rationally and
openly the academic and social
situation at Savannah State, and
see how it relates to other com-
parable schools in Georgia.
One final comment should be
made. It seems that if racial
progress in the stale and academic
excellence at the college are to
come, they will come primarily
through the linking of the liberal
Caucasian and Negro pressure in
the political arena, not by doing
what is considered to be expedient.
And it is expedient to ignore and
to hide the present problems.

Dr. Frank L. Forbes, professor
of Physical Education and Athletic
Director at Morehouse College in
Atlanta, was the guest speaker
Saturday night. May 20 at SSC's
Annual All-Sport Banquet held in
Adams Hall.
Forbes, a former coach at
Morehouse, spoke on the topic
"My Athlete." He went to say
that his type of athlete was the
fellow that believes in himself and
knows that this is essential if he
expects to be a great competitor,
and has intellectual quality and
self confidence. Finally Forbes
said that bis tvpe of athlete must
be the fellow who can examine
himself and be able to take what
he finds and use it to his greatest
ability.
A total of 53 citations were
]> resented to football, basketball,
and track players with the actual
jackets, sweaters, and letters given
mi that following Monday at the
athletic director's office.
Special awards were presented
to football standout Judson Brown,
voted the MVP by the SSC coach-
ing staff and track star William
Alderman, who won the MVP
award in the annual Southeastern
Athletic Conference track and
field meet held here earlier this
year.

The SCORE organization was
formed with the express purpose
of helping the administration, the
faculty as well as the student body-
not only to be aware of problems
but act in a constructive manner
on them. It made constant ap-
peals on the Soapbox Soundoff for
membership. Membership was and
is open to the faculty as well as
the student body. As the Member-
ship and Finance Chairman, I can
say that there is not a single per-
son we would bar from our organ-
ization who expressed interest in
it.
We. the members of SCORE.
NAACP. fraternities, sororities,
YMCA, YWCA. and other student
organizations think it is about
time that the grievances are aired.
We further feel that it is time for
the administration lo stop giving
us lip service to suggestions but
in fact to make a frank and earnest
effort to improve the situation im-
mediately.

REQUIEM FOR A SQUARE
You, like any other lovable, clean-living, freckle-faced
American kid, want to be a BMOC. How can you make it?
Well sir, there are several ways, none of which will
work.
You're too puny to be an athlete, too lazy to be a valedic-
torian, and too hairy to run for Homecoming Queen.
As for becoming a best-dressed man, how are you going
to buy clothes with a miser for a father?
Are you licked then? Is there no way to make BMOC?
Yes, there is! And you can do it! Do what? This:
Become a hippie! Get cool! Get alienated! Have an
Identity Crisis ! Be one of the Others !
How? Well sir, to become a hippie, simply follow these
five simple rules:
1. Read all of Tolkien in the original dwarf.
2. Have your Sophomore Slump in the freshman year.
3. Wear buttons that say things like this :
NATIONALIZE DAIRY QUEEN
ASTHMATICS. UNITE
LEGALIZE APPLE BUTTER
HANDS OFF AIR POLLUTION
4. Go steady with a girl who has long greasy hair, a gui-
tar, enlarged pores, and thermal underwear.
5. Attend Happenings regularly.
This last item may require some explanation, for it is
possible that Happenings haven't reached your campus
yet. Be assured they will because Happenings are the big-
gest college craze since mononucleosis.
A Happening, in case you don't know, is the first form-
less art form. Things just happen. For example, eighty
naked men come out and squirt each other with fire hoses
containing tinted yogurt. Then eighty more naked men
come out and light birthday candles in the navels of the
first eighty men. Then one girl, clothed, comes out and
pulls three thousand feet of sausage casing through her
pierced ear. Then eighty more naked men come out and
eat a station wagon.
There is, of course, a musical accompaniment to all
these fun things. Usually it is "Begin the Beguinel' played
by 26 trench mortars, a drop forge, and a rooster.
There used to be, some years ago, still another require-
ment for becoming a hippie: a man had to have a beard.
But no longer. Beards were worn in the past not so
much as a protest, but because shaving was such a painful
experience. Then along came Personna Super Stainless
Steel Blades.
Today if you don't want to shave, well, that's your
hangup, isn't it, baby? I mean when you've got a blade
like Personna that tugs not neither does it scrape, what's
your copout, man? I mean like get with it; you're living
in the past. Shaving used to hurt, used to scratch, used to
gouge, used to give you all kinds of static. But not since
Personna. It's a gas, man. It's a doozy; it's mom's apple
pie. You dig?
I mean, man, you still want a beard? Crazy! But you
don't have to turn your face into a slum, do you? Shave
around the bush, baby, neatly and nicely with Personna.
I mean like Personna comes in double-edge style and
Injector style too. I mean like any way you try it, you
gotta like like it.
Hey, man, like hoie about doubling your shaving cool?
Like how aboul wilting those crazy whiskers with some
Burma-Shave? Like regular or menthol? Like have
you got n better friend than your kisser? Like treat it
right, right? Ye-ye!

students: Hence the high school
dropout rate. Those who do make
it through high school don't have
the real hunger for education.
They enter college, usually a small
state college, behind in not only
basic skills, but incentive too.
This completes the cycle and also
sets the Negro back, educationally,
a little bit more. It was stated dur-
ing a recent campus forum that
when a student graduates from
Savannah State College he has
little more than a high school
.education: from the cycle we can
see how this may be so. The real
danger of this system is not the
fact that the Negro is progressively
falling behind the white, but
rather that he becomes satisfied
with the system and perpetuates it.
Fellow students, we have to
break this system! If we don't we
will never, as a race, be able to
compete educationally with our
white counterparts. Jobs are open-
ing, racial barriers are being
dropped, and industry is looking
for qualified Negroes but they
can't be found.
Start "today." Look at your
educational achievements: Are
they adequate or inadequate?
Evaluate these questions not only
by the standards of this institution
but also by the standards of other
colleges, Negro and white, by the
standards of industry, and finally
by the standards of the increas-
ingly complex world around you.
The President's Message Dr. Benjamin E. Mays To Speak At
DNGRATULATIONS upon the completion of your work here at ^ * 1
CONGRATULATIONS upon the completion of your work here at
Savannah Stale College. We all hope that you have done your hest in
mastering the skills of your disciplines so that you will go out to make
an outstanding contribution to our society. Whatever you do. in the
years ahead. 1 implore you to always set high standards for yourself;
require great things of yourself: and never excuse yourself for mediocre
performances. To live up to your capacity is a moral imperative for
in the words of Shakespeare, in Hamlet 'This above all: To thine
ownself be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst
not then be false to any man."
As you leave your Alma Mater. I want to take tins opportunity to
tell you how much we. of the administration, faculty, and staff, admire
you and your generation. We admire vou as individuals important to
the development of our free society. We applaud you as skeptics who
decline to accept traditions passively without thinking them through
for yourselves. You and your generation have dared to break with the
past, to question attitudes, and to probe for answers and new truths.
We, in turn, respect your rejection of vaiue-less concepts, hvpocrisv,
and superficiality. We endorse and encourage your skepticism, your
demands, and your desires for independence. You have sought to bring
new flavor into our lives. You have asked to be directed and guided
in a manner that would not turn you into carbon copies of a previous
generation, for you are tomorrow's leaders. Yet I remind you that the
wide scope of knowledge required today by a highly technical and
industrialized society demands that you think fast, run fast, write fast,
and work fast.
We. of this generation, recognize fully vour almost limitless creative
potential medicine and science, philosophy, poetry, art, church, and
state will be affected by you and your leadership. You are the men
and women who will find the cure for cancer, heart disease, develop
better techniques for teaching, write more meaningful poetry, create
more fascinating art, enrich the undeveloped sections of the world and
hopefully end all poverty and war.
With your skeptical and humanistic outlook and your scorn for the
superficial, you will bring to the future a new sense of morality which
will make this world a belter one in which to live.
So remember, your energies and your abilities have brought you
thus far. It is even more important that you rely on these same energies
and abilities from this point on. The responsibility is yours you have
demanded it. It is up to you to make a better free society and world.
You are our hope for the future,
One final word, remember always that you are SAVANNAH
STATE COLLEGE. The College is only as great or as small as its
alumni. When the alumni succeeds. Savannah State College succeeds.
When the alumni fail, Savannah State College fails.
Savannah State College will never, no never, release its graduates
from the expectation that whatever they do in life they will do it well;
and they will do it with honor, dignity, and self-respect.
Good luck and God bless each of you.

Savannah State College recently
received an excellent rating for its
teacher education program from
the American Association of
Teacher Education. Dr. Thelma
Harmond is chairman of the divi-
sion.
The Division comprises three
Departments: the Department of
Elementary Education; the De-
partment of Health, Physical Edu-
cation and Recreation ; and the
Department of Secondary Educa-
tion. The preparation of teachers
is, however, a college-wide com-
mitment. Because every division
and department at the college is
involved in training teachers in
some subject matter field, this
function engages the constant in-
terest and efforts, staff resources,
and facilities of the entire insti-
tution.
The Division of Education at

125 STUDENTS BENEFIT IN Dr. Harmond
UPWARD BOUND PROGRAM S|,aks
* speech at the University of
June 18 was the beginning of
an exciting and adventurous
journey into the realms of edu-
cation for students who partici-
pated in the Upward Bound
Project at Savannah State College.
They moved to the Savannah State
College campus, unloaded their
luggage, and joined together in
an hour of music, entertainment
and refreshments. This was the
grand opening of Savannah State's
Upward Bound Project.
That unforgettable day is in the
past now. It has taken its place on
the historic record of Upward
Round Project and another his-
toric, but sad day is fast approach-
ing. This day is August 18. the
end of the eight weeks summer
session. There is, however, a con-
solation. A follow up program on
Saturdays is to begin with regular
school.
Perhaps you've asked what's so
great about school and education
especially during the summer
months when everybody is sup-
posed to be vacationing. Well,
there are some 125 young people
around and about Chatham
County who will say "everything"
when there's a good mixture of
work and play. To get an idea of
what is meant by this, take a peep
at the program's many activities:
Classes started with a "bang,"
instructors and students seemed to
compete with others in experi-
mental methodology.
The Upward Bound Project of
Savannah is headed by Mr.
Whittington B. Johnson, who is
also a member of the Savannah
State College faculty during
regular school sessions. Mr. John-
son is assisted by Mrs. Martha
Wilson, also an SSC faculty mem-
ber. There is a Director of Guid-
ance, assisted by a Guidance
Counselor for girls, and several
students who are actually "live-in"
tutor-counselors. Mr. Johnson and
Mrs. Wilson also have at their
disposal a director of special
events and a small clerical staff.
The instructors and tutors work-
ing in this project make up a total
of 41 professional and pro-
fessional bound people.
The pre-planning week was be-
gun with a visit from OEO's
executive assistant for the South-
eastern Region, Mrs. Judith Ben-
ton of Washington, D. C. Mrs.
Benton was able to answer staff
questions concerning the project
and its anticipated effects upon
our society. The OEO consensus
was that the project was working
as planned.
Mrs. Wilson, as assistant di-
rector, was responsible for the
areas of classroom instruction
.h,
s chiefly in communica-
tions. The coordinator-instructors
for these areas are Robert Holt,
Mrs. Wilhemenia Dean, and Dr.
Waller Laffer. There also are in-
struction in such areas as music,
art and drama, as well as extra-
curricular activities. A study of
this staff structure reveals that the
underlying aim of the project is
to reach each student's basic needs
as time and facilities will permit.
This project is one method by
which this vast "Societal Re-
serve" can be exposed and im-
plemented.
The remainder of Upward
Bound pre-planning week was
spent organizing the project's
program for this summer. Each
Upward Bounder will participate
in a follow-up program in which
he can report other needs and also
have additional instruction by
relatively the same people who
instructed him in his summer
session.
L'pward Bounders receive no
grades, since the emphasis of the
project is on unrestricted instruc-
tion with the over-all view of the
student in mind. Naturally, the
success or failure of the project
in Savannah, as well as any one
of the 248 other such programs
in the United States will greatly
depend upon the ability of the in-
structor who should be able to
create an atmosphere which will
point up the potential strength of
each student.

During the two-day conference
of the Georgia Association of Su-

opment, at the Univeraily of

Harmond spoke on the "Ilumani-
zation Movement in American
Education." Dr. Harmond stated
that the humanist of loday is
aware of a variety of social, po-
litical and military forces which
greatly influence American life.
Dr. Harmond, who heads the
Department of Secondary Educa-
tion at Savannah State College,
believes that these forces can serve
lo improve the world if ihey are
utilized prudently. "W he t he r
these forces become threats to our
social order or potentials for a
new and better world depends on
how man uses them in his rela-
tionship with others.
"The realization of the poten-
tials demand conviction, courage,
and leadership from individuals
and groups who seek the good life
by way of intellectual arid humane
social skills," Dr. Harmond stated.
"Such commitment would be
wurth whatever is demanded, for
the slakes which we seek to gain
are mortal ones."

The Education Workshop
At Savannah State College
Dr. Thelma Harmond, chair-
man. Department of Education,
states that the Education Work-
shop for Elementary and Sec-
ondary School Teachers at Savan-
nah State College is designed to
meet the special needs and inter-
ests of in-service teachers.
To elicit information as to the
effectiveness of the workshop, a
cross-section poll was conducted
to oblain the views of the work-
shop participants on several ques-
tions concerning the experiences
and needs that are being met in
the workshop.
The workshoppers echoed vari-
ous sentiments. The questions
asked were: What do you think
of the workshop? What are your
aims and purposes with regard
to the education workshop?
The typical comments of par-
ticipants to the questions were:
I have met many teachers who
teach a variety of subjects and
share some of the same problems
that 1 have in my classroom. The
course also takes the place of
practice teaching. It also affords
you the chance to teach in front
of the consultants and participants
of the workshop. One also receives
constructive criticism as to
whether or not one's teaching is
effective. We (in-service teach-
ers )are able to observe one an-
other so that we may get new
ideas from each other. One per-
sonal obseravtion is that I am
able to see the Negro point of
view better and this will enable
me to set a better example in my
school on the teaching of mixed
or integrated groups. The rela-
tionships in the workshop are very
good. One is also able to make
many new friends and cooperate
with members of the group.
Well, the workshop is different
because I was not familiar with
what a workshop is supposed to
do. Thus far it has been profit-
able because you can express your
opinions freely as others express
theirs. This within itself is a
learning situation, as well as hav-
ing the guidance of those in au-
thority. We learn from experi-
ence and the professors at SSC
have given the group this experi-
ence. The professors are very
democratic in making new meth-
ods and materials in teaching
available to us, because they allow
the workshop group free expres-
sion. I like the group work be-
cause it has given me insight into
the lifet of the actual study of
teaching. It has also helped me
to develop empathy. I'm just
looking forward to the next three
or four weeks of the workshop so
that I may retain and learn as
much as possible.
It's a valuable educative experi-
ence. The workshop provides
those people who have not had
an opportunity in the classroom
situation.
Well, I think it gives freedom
and time to think out problems
in light of what you read. In the
workshop you have ample time to
read about new trends in educa-
tion that your work and commit-
ments in the academic year pre-
vent you from accomplishing. The
members of my group are very
cooperative. The facilities at Sa-
vannah State are very good.
This workshop has proven to be
of great benefit in helping me
broaden and modify my outlook
in procedures in education. I am
certain that I will be a better
teacher for having attended the
workshop.
I am very fortunate to be here.
I am impressed with the sound
experience of the consultants, and
the ease with which they bring
clarity to the many intricate chan-
nels in the study of education. I
am here to broaden my methods
of teaching.
I think that the workshop has
proven to be of interest. Here at
SSC I have gained information
that will help me in my teaching
situations. I want to gain clearer
insight on stimulating students'
interest in mathematics courses.
I think that the workshop is a
place where in-service teachers
gain an insight on various teach-
ing techniques. My purpose for
being in the workshop is to solve
various problems that confront
mc in o teaching situation.
The workshop is helpful in
solving problems in teaching. I
have gained a lot of information
from the workshop. My purpose
is to satisfy the certification for
student leaching and to learn bet-
ter techniques of teaching.
The workshop is a good place
fo rteachers to meet and discuss
the problems of youth today. It
also gives participants an oppor-
tunity as well to realize that many
of the problems that confront
classroom teachers, regardless of
race. It also gives an opportunity
to develop good working relation-
ships with the workshop consult-
ants.
I have a confession to make:
when it was suggested that I take
this course for accreditation, and
not having been to school for
some thirty years, it's easy to ap-
preciate my trepidation. I had
manv misgivings about the whole
idea. I can truthfully say I have
enjoyed every minute of my par-
ticipation in the workshop, not
only because of the excellent peo-
ple who are a part of it but also
because of the fact that I have
learned there is a good deal more
to teaching that just standing up
in front of a room of young-
sters who are waiting for you to
contribute. It gives me a better
perspective as far as my relation-
ship with another race is con-
cerned. To be very frank, more
people should attend a workshop
so it can give them a completely
different image from that which
they may have had. The com-
plete environment at SSC is ex-
tremely conducive for making one
a fuller and more complete person.

Seek College
Grads for Foreign
Affairs Jobs
The U. S. Department of State
has launched a special recruiting
program to find minority group
college graduates who wish to
pursue a career in public service
abroad.
As described by Eddie N. Wil-
liams, Director of State's EEO
Program, the recruiting drive is
aimed at candidates with
Bachelor's. Master's, Ph.D., or
Law Degrees with a special inter-
est in diplomacy and foreign
affairs. "We're lookinc for the
young, dynamic, intelligent in-
dividual who wants to serve his
country abroad as well as at
home." Williams said. Academic
areas of special interest to the
State Department include history,
political science, economics, in-
ternational relations, administra-
tion, languages, law, and science.
"Many qualified minority
candidates tend to shy away from
a career in foreign affairs because
of the mistaken idea that their
applications are not wanted or
because of their concern over
meeting the entrance require-
ments," Mr. Williams observed.
This is one of the greatest
obstacles the Department must
overcome in its efforts to attract
and employ minority candidates.
These misconceptions have
hampered efforts to create a more
representative Foreign Service ;
therefore, the State Department is
making a special appeal for
minority candidates to fill junior
officer positions and has arranged
a special three or four year pro-
gram for them, both overseas and
in the United Stales. After this
period it is expected that these
junior officers will be fully quali-
fied and prepared for a career in
the Foreign Service Officer Corps.
All candidates should be pre-
pared to work in Washington as
well as at any of the 280 overseas
posts in a wide variety of jobs in
the political, economic, adminis-
trative, and consular fields, de-
pending on their interests, qualifi-
cations, and the needs of the
Service. Special training will be
provided.
Salaries will range from S6.451
to S8.979 per annum, depending
on academic background, work
experience, and age of the candi-
date. At overseas posts salaries
will be supplemented by housing
and other Foreign Service allow-
ances.
Applications ( completed Form
57) should be sent to Mr. Wil-
liams in Room 7332 Department
of State, Washington, D. C.
20520. Additional information
about this special program will
be provided each applicant.

The Witeh
Doetors and
Violenee
By Robert L. Joiner
When Governor Lester Maddox praised the Lowndes County School
Administrators for resegregating the county's schools, the writer's mind
turned to race riots and the "long hot summers."
America is experiencing another "long hot summer" and militant
Negroes predict more humid weather before rain comes. In the middle
of these "long hot summers" stand many Americans, reacting to the
Negro's chaotic moods, like witch doctors. Literally, these Americans
are praying for rain to cool the "long hot summers." These are the
Americans who favor deterring violence through violent means. Such
actions are imprudent.
In seeking an answer to the causes of riots, the Negro's past must
be examined. Those who see riots only as the Negro's way of getting
free merchandise deserve a free course in Negro History.
While the writer sees the injustices of angry rioters, the Negro's
dissatisfaction is valid. History explains this.
What we fail to understand is that the Negro is seeking plastic
surgery to bide a scar which plagued him aboard a ship, many years
back. The scar, inferiority. The ship, Sally. Her merchandise, slaves.
Aboard this vessel began the first step toward superiority of races. The
thought has remained with man since.
Through the years the Negro has come to realize his inferior state.
Socially, politically, and economically, he is, as a group, always given
the feast of all. He has been a spectator to the mainstream of our society
too long. Now he wants to be a participant.
But he observes much of his own nation as they reject him. He
observes whole states as they ignore him. He observes state govern-
ments as they gamble and sometime lose federal money to maintain
segregated systems, and cripple his children.
He observes Congress as it rejects model city programs and let
him remain a ghetto dweller.
He observes the injustices against him. His cry in the ghetto has
gone unheard for decades. He seeks a way to voice his discontentment;
therefore, he riots and yells "if I don't get my share, nobody will!"
If this prosperous nation could comprehend that the segregated
system breeds violence, Negro militants would not be in operation.
Witch doctors, pray for rain. It will not come, though. Not until
injustices are lifted.

Want to Hear
About Some
"Cool" Fashions?
By Gwendolyn Cutter
Well, let's start with the latest
tennis costumes. You may have
a smashing serve, but you'll score
a smashing fashion look, too. if
you show up on the courts this
summer in one of the eye-catching
new outfits like the starkly ele-
gant little white tennis sheath ac-
cented in red-embroidered signs
of the Zodiac down the front. In
a gleaming white corded twill, this
short, sleeveless little tennis cos-
tume features the June and July
sign of the Crab, but all signs are
available.
This particular style comes from
Teddy Tingling, the British de-
signer who makes those sometimes
controversial, much publicized
costumes for leading girl tennis
players.
Tingling says fabrics like cre-
pons, cloques. whipcords and sail-
cloths are perfect for tennis. He
explains that's because they're
available in daeron polyester or
dacron blends, and this fiber im-
parts rugged strength and light-
ness of weight.
The 1967 wave of zero-cool
fashions also includes some that
have been adapted from European
sports car racing outfits. Leading
the list are the cutout shortie
gloves inspired by those worn by
the racing drivers. Then there are
the striped hipslung belts with
giant buckles to be worn with hip-
ster pants. And, to be real up-to-
the minute, don't miss the over-
size wrist watches with oversize
bands. Most of these very wide
bands are made of leather, in
white, black, or a bright green,
blue, red, or yellow.

are nothing new to Scott, One
achievement seems to have led to
another.
Harmon Caldwell, ex-Chancel-
lor of the University System of
Georgia, stated that Scott "is one
of the outstanding men of the
country in his field . . . His
achievements have brought to him
a number of national recogni-
tions . . ."
During World War II, Scott
was awarded the first Superior
Accomplishment Award given to
a civilian of the armed forces in
the United States.
The Congressional Record of
1958 cited Scott for receiving the
Columbia Scholastic Press Associ-
ation Gold Key Award for out-
standing achievement in college
journalism. Scott was the first
Negro ever to receive this award
in the 34 years it bad been pre-
sented.

Menu and
Cooking Cues
It's cherry time again and
cherries, whether eaten out of
hand or in a salad or dessert, are
a delicious treat for the family.
You might serve them "as is"
for a lunch or dinnertime dessert
or at snacktime. The French put
the cherries in a big glass bowl
and let them float in chilled water
and ice cubes. For this treatment,
it's best to have cherries with the
stems still intact.
Or add fresh sweet cherries to
a compote. One combination we
favor is made with the chilled
pitted cherries and melon balls.
If you like, you can add simple
syrup to the compote but flavor
the syrup with fresh lime juice
and fresh mint.
Cherries make a delightful salad,
too, and of course they're great in
desserts like cherry pie or cherry
tarts, especially when topped with
scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Serve a cherry dessert today,
and see what a hit it will make.
For the entree we suggest thin
slices of veal, sauteed in butter
with minced parsley, a casserole
of noodles with butter and sesame
seeds, or with mushrooms. Some
cooks like to combine an undi-
luted can of cream of mushroom
soup with the noodles. Asparagus
or spinach teams well with this
main course, and a salad of mixed
greens makes a good accompani-
ment. This menu is a good one to
serve indoors, or for a porch sup-
per.

HOW TO GET A'S
IN ALL YOUR FINAL EXAMS
In today's column, the last of the school year, I don't
intend to be funny. (I have achieved this objective many
times throughout the year, but this time it's on purpose.)
The hour is wrong for levity. Final exams are looming.
Have you got a chance? I say yes! I say America did
not become the world's foremost producer of stove bolts
and cotter pins by running away from a fight!
You wiMpass your finals! How? By studying. How? By
learning mnemonics.
Mnemonics, the science of memory aids, was, as we all
know, invented by the great Greek philosopher Mnemon
in 52G B.C. (This, incidentally, was only one of the inven-
tions of this fertile Athenian. He also invented the house
cat, the opposing thumb, and, most important, the stair-
case. Before the staircase people were forced willy-nilly
to live out their lives on the ground tloor, and many grew
cross as bears. Especially Demosthenes who was elected
Consul of Athens six times but never served because he
was unable to get up to the otlice of the Commissioner of
Oaths on the third tloor to be sworn in. But after Mnemon's
staircase, Demosthenes got to the third floor easy as pie
to Athens' sorrow, as it turned out. Demosthenes, his
temper shortened by years of confinement to the ground
floor, soon embroiled his countrymen in a series of sense-
less wars with the Medes, the Persians, and the Los
Angeles Rams. This later became known as the Missouri
Compromise.)
But I digress. We were discussing mnemonics, which
are nothing more than aids to memory-little jingles to
help you remember names, dates, and places. For example :
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
In fourteen hundred ninety two.
See how simple? Make up your own jingles. What, for
instance, came after Columbus's discovery of America?
The Boston Tea Party, of course. Try this:
Samuel Adams flang the tea
Into the briny Zuyder Zee.
(NOTE : The Zuyder Zee was located in Boston Harbor
until 1801 when Salmon P. Chase traded it to Holland for
Alaska and two line backers.)
But I digress. Let's get back to mnemonics. Like this:
In nineteen hundred sixty fteven
Personna Blades make shaving heaven.
I mention Personna because the makers of Personna
Super Stainless Steel Blades are the sponsors of this
column. It' I may get a little misty in this, the final column
of the school year, may I say it's been a pleasure working
for Personna? May I say further that it's been an even
greater pleasure working for you, the undergrads of
America? You've been a most satisfactory audience, and
I'm going to miss you this summer. In fact, I'd ask you
all to come visit me except there is no access to my room.
The makers of Personna, after I missed several deadlines,
walled me in. I have no doors or windows only a mail slot.
I slip the columns out; they slip in Personnas and such
food as can go through a mail slot. (For the past six
months I've been living on after dinner mints.)
I am only having my little joke. The makers of Personna
have not walled me in, for they are good and true and
gleaming and constant as good and true and gleaming
and constant as the blades they make and I wish to state
publicly that I will always hold them in the highest esteem,
no matter how my suit for back wages comes out.
And so, to close the year, I give you one last mnemonic:
Study hard and pass with honors,
And always shave with good Personnors!
Personna and Personna's partner in luxury shaving,
Ilurma-Shave, regular or menthol, have enjoyed bring-
ing; you another year of Max's uncensored and uninhib-
ited column. We thank you for supporting our products^
ice wish you luck in your exams and in all your other
enterprises.

CLUB &
CAMPUS
FASHIONS
BY CHIP TOBERT
ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR
THE COUNTDOWN TO SUMMER is felt from one corner of the
campus to the other. The race is on to finish papers, cover the terms
work and find something to do this summer before the semester
enda. So with sights on splitting the campus scene let's check out
your warm weather wardrobe for Summer 'G7.
MAKE A BIG SPLASH with the latest look in swim suits. For the
uninhibited set. there's nothing better than the Tarzan style loin-
cloth swimsuits we highlighted in the February column. For more
conventional good looks, we like the new lightweight quick-drying
cotton corduroy swim-play shorts. Style runs the gamut from ex-
tension waist band to belted models and from brief to surfer length
leg. Bright color is the keynote for '67. Yellow, green a"hd gold
bathing trunks are getting the biggest play and the multi-color
stripe straight hanging jersies are a natural to top them off. The
colorful cover-ups are not only smart looking but tailor made to
suit every taste. You can choose anything from a cool, sleeveless
boat neck to a free swinging mock turtle neck shirt with r 'i length
sleeves.
THE HEADLINE STORY is the new bold geometric, paisley or
native print cotton hats that are designed for beach or holiday
we:ir. It's the hat that's fun to wear, looks well on and just may
change a bareheaded generation of college men into a nation of hat
men. Both the round and flat top models are always worn brim
down.
GO NATIVE in this season's Mexican,
Aztec or African inspired print button
down collar sport shirts. Solid color
slacks or walk shorts in bright shades
handsomely accent the bold shirts. Or.
reverse the order and sport the colorful
native print slacks with a solid shirt. A
couple of pairs of western style jeans or
chinos round out the basic casual equip-
ment.
THE SOCKLESS LOOK and common sense have come to terms.
While we like the look of bare ankles with certain casual clothes
we know it's harmful to feet and murder on shoes, So, we recom-
mend you slip on the new mini socks that preserve the naked look
and offer protection at the same time. For sportswear you can't go
wrong with the new smooth leather reverse suede casual shoes in
either the slip-on or eyelit tie model. Color is generating a lot of
excitement in daytime footwear. Choose from a wide range of tan,
gold, pastel green, blue or burgundy. Other newsworthy footnotes
are the easy going sandals in a wide range of leathers and colors.
C^
ANYTHING GOES during the day but when the
sun goes down there are plenty of places, even on
the casual summer circuit that won't let you in
without a coat and tie. The look we like best is a
navy or medium blue double breasted blazer with
white stitching. Tie on a printed silk tie in the new
wider widths and you're ready to do the town. If
this summer will see you making an important 1
entry into the business world, a lightweight wool
and polyester suit in any of the new lighter colora-
tions will see you handsomely through the hectic
days ahead. And for the avant garde, a double
breasted or 2-button model suit is an excellent
choice.
TIME TO RING DOWN THE CURTAIN on another academic year.
So, whether you plan to surf, soak up some rays or try the junior
executive life, make the most of it and have a ball this summer ! Au
revoir until the fall when we'll be back with the scoop on Back-to-
College fashions. See you in September.

What a College Is
A college is students a college
and its faculty exist for students.
The students come to SSC seeking
an education and they pursue
learning with vigor and zest.
A college is its alumni the
success of the alumni determines
a measure of the college's success
success as parents, as citizens.
as skilled professionals and as vo-
cational leaders.
A college is its campus a loca-
tion for learning and SSC has
been blessed. SSC's library is an
asset to the faculty and student
body.
A college is extra curricular ac-
tivities for students, a college is
more than books and courses and
credit and, in the end, a B.S. de-
gree. College is also an actor in
the play, a soprano in the choir,
editor of the newspaper or the
yearbook. College is a student art
show, a concert by Lionel Hamp-
ton, The Messiah, a faculty-stu-
dent dinner. College is a date for
the Christmas Ball.
Students enjoy life at SSC. It
is a friendly campus where each
individual is respected and where
a college body study, work, and
play together.

President Jordan Speaks At Convocation
Savannah State College held it's
first in a series of Convocations in
Wiley-Wilcox Gymnasium, Fri-
day, October 6, 1967. President
Howard Jordan, Jr., was the
principal speaker.
President Jordan, well-known
orator throughout the state of
Georgia and the southeast, spoke
on the subject; Role of the College
Student in the World Today, and
the Great Decision and Challenges
that faces him.
In his talk. Dr. Jordan em-
phasized the opportunities that
are available and the need for the
student to receive the best educa-
tion possible.
The challenge for the student
is, make the best possible use of
his time while in preparation for
his chosen areas or field. He
strongly indicated that the stu-
dents should: First, accumulate a
storehouse of facts; Second, train
his mind to think straight; Third,
acquire mental humility, and
finally, develop within him a sense
of the fitness of things.
Dr. Jordan characterized the
role of educators: make sensible
men and women, in the confidence
DR. JORDAN
that they will go on to make them-
selves into effective scientists,
engineers, businessmen, or public
officials.
In closing, he left the students
with the adage entitled, "The Man
of la Muncha"; To Dream the im-
nossible Dream, To fight the un-
beatable foe, to hear with un-
bearable sorrow, to run where the
Brave dare not go. To right the
unrightnble wrong, to be belter
by far than you are, to try when
your arms are too weary, to reach
the unreachable star. He ended
with This is your Quest. Follow
Also on the same program. Dr.
Coleridge A. Brailhwaite, head of
the Fine Arts Department at this
institution and conductor of the
Choral Society, appeared for the
first time this year on the con-
vocation Friday, October 6, 1967.
The audience gave the Choral
Society an ovation for their
splendid rendition of: "In Dat
Great Gittin' Up Mornin'," which
was so greatly deserved. Richard
Moses, Tenor, sang the solo part.
Miss Pauletlc Butler accompanied
the group.

of the Guild for the past years,
as a National Member of the Na-
tional Fraternity of Student Mu-
sicians with an excess of 140 more
C's than A's ( accumulated over
the years). In music the C's have
more value than A's.
Miss Butler is a graduate of St.
Pius of Savannah, where she first
became interested in Music.
She also stated that all the credit
should be given to her first piano
teacher, Mrs. Alice C. Wright.
The National Guild also pre-
sented her with the Paderewski
Memorial Medal and the Guild's
High School Diploma.
Miss Christine Oliver, an in-
structor of Music at Savannah

Savannah State
To Be Represented
In Chicago
Dr. Charles Pratt, Head of
the Chemistry Department, and
Odessa Williams, Research As-
sistant, will attend a meeting of
the American Oil Chemist Society,
in Chicago, Illinois, October 16.
Miss Williams presented a paper
at the Georgia Academy of Science
in Atlanta last April and won first
place. The title of her paper was,
"Activity Studies of Cottonseed
Proteolytic Enzymes by Paper
Chromatography."
Miss Williams brought several
significant points before the
group, for example, ( 1 } A
fiberous protein of M.W. of ap-
proximately 100,000 has been
isolated from cottonseed; (2) This
protein was subjected to com-
mercial pepsin for hydrolsis but
found to undergo very little
hydrolsis; (3) Commercial pepsin
was fractionated by paper chroma-
tography and an active fraction
isolated; 14) Of the 9 fractions
resulting from the aulohydrolysis
of commercial pepsin only one,
zone 7, was active toward cotton-
seed protein.
This work was and still is sup-
ported by a research grant from
the U. S. Army Research Office
at Durham. North Carolina.
SSC Student
Population Swells
Savannah State College has set
a record in student enrollment,
which surpassed the previous
year's total enrollment.
Wiley Purdue, Registrar, re-
ports that approximately 1,674
students have enrolled at the
school, which is a record enroll-
ment for the college. The total
enrollment is the largest in the
history of this institution, which
was founded in 1890.
The freshman enrollment for the
fall quarter, of this term is a bit
less than the previous year, to
compare approximately 565 for
the '66-'67 term and approxi-
mately 552 for the present term.
During the fall quarter approxi-
mately 1,109 upper-classmen re-
turned to the campus. This year
the 1,109 upper-classmen was an
increase of 12% compared with
approximately 978 of the previous
term.
The increase in the enrollment
has resulted in over-crowded con-
ditions of the dormitories and
other campus facilities. The over-
crowded situations are especially
noticeable while viewing the
campus from the student's in-
volvement, that is touring the
student center and in the classes.
S & H Foundation Supports Library
A. J. McLemore, college
librarian of Savannah State Col-
lege, announces that the S & H
Foundation, sponsored by the
Sperry and Hutchinson Company,
has awarded the college Sl,824 in
support of a proposal submitted
for a Lectureship Program for
the 1967-68 academic year. These
grants were made to thirty-eight
institutions.
Four prominent persons will be
brought to the campus to lecture
on the following issues:
1. America's involvement in
Vietnam.
2. The Draft: Conscription or
lottery?
3. Poverty in the U. S.: A na-
tional disgrace.
4. Civil Rights: A course of
action.
The above topics for presenta-
tion are crucial issues in the sixties
which should be understood by
each citizen. The purpose of the
lecture series is to expose the col-
lege community and the city of
Savannah to some of the top
scholars in America. This is one
facet of the library's effort to be
an instrument for learning in this
academic milieu.
The public is cordially invited
to each of these lectures.

Proud Heritage
Are Negroes Trite Patriots?
By Harold Jackson
ivho loves
Webster's Dictionary defined the term patriot as, one
his country and upholds its interests.
I think that the Negro has exemplified that he is truly a believer
of his adopted country. He has upheld bis country's interest in all
endeavors he has participated.
Nearly four hundred years ago, when the first Negro landed in
tins country, he was not a freeman but a slave. It is here as slaves
thai they began to build a great heritage that we as Negroes should
be proud of being a Mark descendant.
Such great Negroes as Frederick Douglass and Booker T, \\ osh-
in-inri in name a few, illustrated the Negroes' willingness to endure
undei adverse circumstances.
After receiving his freedom in
the Emancipation Proclamation, he
was faced with the perplexed prob-
lem of adjusting to bis new life. He
started out with nothing but the will
(o >\ nrk ami make life better for
himself and his family.
Sim e that time he has ad-
vanced more rapidly than any other
race in the history of our country.
It was not until the Supreme
Court decision (in favor of the Ne-
gri! I, on the Montgomery Bus
Boycott, that he realized he no
longer wanted to be a second class
citizen.
It was here he began his con-
quest for first class citizenship, and
I., receive his dignity that has been so long denied him.
The Negro, feeling a need for improvement of his race, organized
a national organization to better his people only fifty-four years after
the ending of slavery. This group has spearheaded many movements,
that have advanced the Negro to his present stage.
We can now look up and be proud of the achievements we have
made in recent years. Negroes such as: Tburgood Marshall, the first
Negro in the Supreme Court; Floyd McCre, a Negro mayor of Flint,
Michigan; Leroy Johnson, the Negro Representative in the Georgia
General Assembly; and Martin Luther King, the noted civil rights
leader, who received the Nobel Peace Prize.
The^e few alone illustrated that the Negro has carved a great
heritage in the making of our country.
In answer to the question, yes, the Negro is a true patriot and
believer of his adopted country. If this country is to remain a model
democratic country, it must serve the needs of all its people.
Letter From Vietnam to the
Student Body
HAROLD JACKSON
I am Sgt. Benjamin Burgess
from Savannah, Georgia, 4102
Sumter Street. I am a squadron
leader in Vietnam, and I have
some very good men. But, there is
one problem that we have here
and it is mail. Some of the boys
don't get mail from their families
like they- once did. Most of us
have been here for eight or nine
months, and it seems as if we
have been forgotten and this is
bad. We can't get our minds off
of it. So, I am asking for your
help. 1 thought of this and it may
work.
I would like for you to ask some
of your school kids to write some
of the fellows a few lines jusl to
let them know that someone is
thinking of them and what they
are doing. I know they will write
back, and if some will send
tures they will send one
pic-
change. When you get my letter
please let me know what you
think. 1 believe we can save a lot
of lives by doing this. I am send-
ing a few names and all the ad-
dresses in the same letter. The
boys ages are from 19 to 21.

Ask The Freshman
Various comments about SSC
were received when a survey of
freshmen was taken. Some are
"brow-raising," yet their true ex-
pressions and opinions.
The expression "first impres-
sions last forever'* would seem to
fit the survey that was conducted
among the freshmen males. Pa-
tricia Ford and Augustas Howard
questioned their peers.
The question put to the young
men .is: \\ hat is your impres-
sion of Savannah Slate College, so
far? Here are a few of the re-
sponses:
Charles Bass commented: "I
feel that Savannah State is one of
the most progressive institutions
in southeast Georgia. It has a mul-
tiple iiy of modern teaching and
learning facilities. 11
John Williams stated: "I think
this is a pretty nice school, so far,
but I think the instructors could
express themselves belter, and ex-
plain more in (lass."
Tyrone Br own said: "1 feel that
Savannah Stale College is a very
well-rounded school. Its faculty
members seem to be striving to
give the students the best they
can."
\ ernon Bryant added: "1 think
Savannah Stale is very progres-
sive, especial!) in the field of sci-
ence."
Elliot Sams, a transfer student,
commented: "I think Savannah
Slate is one of Amet ica's must
dynamic and progressive m-t Mil-
lions. 1 feel that one, in the search
for knowledge, has chosen the
right institution (SSC) to fulfill
their wants for an education."
The female students were asked
a variety of questions:
Do you think that rules govern-
ing freshman girls are too strict?
Miss Berry J. Jordan commenled:
"No, I don't think that the rules
are too strict. Most young ladies
are away from home for the first
time. These rules are needed for
discipline and guidance."
Miss Laverne McCullougk, pres-
ident of the freshman dormitory,
was asked, "Have any upper class
girls tried to take advanlage of
any freshman girls?" "No, there
have been very few unfavorable
comments, but this is to be ex-
pected from upper class girls."
She further commented, "that most
of the female freshmen are pleased
and always give favorable com-
pliments about the college. On the
other hand, some of the girls
haven't got leu adjusted and are
still quite homesick."
Y\ hen asked if being around a
large number of new face- had af-
fected her in any way, Miss Shir-
ley AlcCray slated, "No. meeting
new faces hasn't affected me be-
cause 1 love to meet strangers and
become their friend. I don't think
meeting many new faces has af-
fected any freshman girls."
Miss Angle Foster commented,
"It I SSC I is the grooviest educa-
tional institution in the stale. The
instructors seem to be, so far, very
understanding about our many
mistakes and are trying to guide
us in the right direction. We also
feel that matriculating at this in-
stitution will inevitably be a won-
derful and fulfilling experience,"
when asked to give an overall
comment about SSC.
"Do you think that going to the
Student Center can become habit
forming and in turn cause one to
neglect her studies?" Miss Sandra
Fttquay answered, "I think that
going to the center definitely be-
comes habit forming, and it can
also cause neglect of studies. Any
time a person puts herself into
anything, it is very possible for it
to become, as the question implies,
habit forming, and once a habit
is formed, it is hard to break."
Concerning the upper class girls
taking advantage of freshman
girls, Miss Hose Ella Moore com-
mented, "From having the oppor-
tunity of mingling with upper class
girls, 1 feel that they haven't, un-

From The
Editor's Desk
By Barbara J. Mobley
Greetings, transfer, returning, and new students to Savannah State
College. At such date, it is realized that you've probably been thor-
oughly welcomed. However, speaking in behalf of the Tiger's Roar
staff we welcome you.
To the freshmen mix and make yourself known. Be active in
all facets of the college program. Upon entering college, you realized
that there was to be a transitional period, from high school pupil to
college student. Don't let this lessen your desire to be active. A student
that has grown accustomed I in high school or boarding school), to
being an intricate part of that educational : ustitution feels left out or
insecure about belonging in a new situation.
Although ihis educational institution is on a higher level than high
school, all establishments of this nature are basically the same that is,
run by cooperation and activation of you, the student.
In many instances the student is one who argues about, but docs
nothing, absolutely nothing to bring about improvement in that which
he is arguing about.
At SSC, there are many organizations and committees that the
student, new and old, might become an active spoke in the group's
wheel of progress. For example, the Student Government Association
has many committees of which many of you are a part. If you're
called upon to serve in any capacity, please cooperate. This is to be so
of all organizations.
Remember this: More cooperation = More progress.
East Meets West At Savannah State
By Sister Mary Odile
"Don't worry, there is always tomorrow," the optimistic Egyptian
will invariably say. But for me, an expatriate from that land, there is
a today and a yesterday, a yesteryear in which I became a beneficiary
of Savannah Stale College.
April 1906 it was, when I first set foot on this campus. From the
beginning 1 have liked its sylvan aspect, the nearby river so reminiscent
of the Nile, the green field beyond Payne Hall ever evocative of the
verdure of my native Ireland. It was, however, in Hill, not Payne Hall,
that I discovered myself in the guise of a student. The Department
of Fine Arts which is now located in the massive Kennedy building
was then functioning on the top story of Hill Hall. Truthfully it had
much more to give than f was artistically amenable to, and 1 left it
not as an artist nor a musician but with a revitalized and vitalizing
sense of value. A value that gives new meaning to my own life and
to life in general.
As an unnaturalized, uninitiated American citizen, it is to the
Department of Social Sciences that I owe my burgeoning knowledge
of the history and government of
the United States. Humanwise, my
thoughts often drifted back to the
decadent monarchy of the inglori-
ous King Farouk, and the militar-
istic birth of the United Arab Re-
public. Such reveries, even though
indulged in during class, only
helped to foster my appreciation of
a nation free and indivisible ... A
subject which has also broadened
my concept of the American way of
life is that classified under Physical
Education 317: Community Play
and Recreation. The ideas dissemi-
nated by the study of the Play-
ground and Recreation Association
of America are conducive to everything that is mentally, physically
and spiritually wholesome.
It is said that in the future philosophy will coexist with science.
Had it done so this summer, the reading of the philosophic contribution
of our British, French, German and American philosophers would not
have been half as interesting nor as felicitous.
English has always been my pursuit and I am still the untired
pursuer. In the Department of Humanities I have become acquainted
with man) hitherto unknown contemporary British and American
writers to whose literariness I am literary indebted. Thanks to our
ingenious Instructor, the lingual study this quarter ranged from West-
Saxon dialects to the grapheme and morpheme the atoms of modern
speech. This is called Linguistics, or the scientific study of the lan-
guages. Even electronic journalism found a niche in our summer
curriculum.
Sometimes we miss the wood for the trees. No matter how
tenaciously the Spanish moss may cling, the attractive blue and pink
of Gordon Library is at all hours visible and accessible to the students
of Savannah State College. The graeiousness of our librarians is a
happy link in the chain that inextricably binds the college student to
the authors on the shelves.
It is always nice to meet nice people, especially so when those
people constitute the administration of a State College. The courtesy
of the administrative body of Savannah State College brings to life the
words of an eminent British writer, Hilaire Belloc:
"And in my walks it seems to me
The grace of God abides in courtesy."

Your Paper
By Diane Hansell
It has often been said that the college newspaper mirrors the
college. We the staff and editors are well aware of this fact. The
responsibilities entailed through the correct acquisition and subsequent
reporting of the news to you, the reader, is of the greatest importance.
But the process, no matter how often repeated, is hindered by unfore-
seen obstacles that appear during the course of the month separating
issues. Although the news is fresh when first assigned, it has frequently
faded to obscurity by the time the paper is ready for distribution.
Taking the above mention into consideration, we ask for you
to write us your suggestions for improvement or other criticisms.

Too Early for
Love ...Or Is It?
By Evelyn Shinhoster
I walked. He walked.
He smiled. I smiled.
We talked.
There were trees. There was grass.
There was a clear sky. There were
people.
Scattered about were a few build-
ings
Antiquated and modern.
But we "saw" nothing.
It was in the tool of the morning.
Ahead stood a building.
He sat on the steps.
1 stood. We talked . . .
We walked back.
He said, "Thank you . . ."
"\oure welcome," I said.
"I'll call you tonight," he said.
He smiled into my eyes.
I looked into his.
It was too early for love.
And yet . , .
God
By Benjamin Harris
It happened that I was alone.
In an air of complete solitude.
When I looked up and saw a spa-
cious eternal blue sky.
When I looked over and saw
jagged, steep mountains.
Ajid then. I looked down and saw
a cool, free-running brook.
I looked around and saw a butter-
fly take something from a
cluster of lilies.
Then I closed my eyes for a mo-
ment,
Then I opened them, and saw Cod
. . altogether.

The Black
Awakening
By Benjamin Harris
There was once a garden,
A seductively beautiful garden
that belonged to God.
There were many, and all kinds of
flowers there
But there especially was this large
black, beautiful orchid.
It was the only black creature in
the whole garden.
All the other flowers strayed away
from it.
Even when a white lily was once
planted near it, the lily moved
away each time the wind
blew.
It was even said that the best dew
drops fell on the pale flowers.
This black orchid was soon en-
hanced with an inferiority
complex.
But one da\ the orchid thought to
itself,
"Black, can't be so bad.
In fact, black must be great.
All of our rain comes from dark,
black clouds . . .
Never from white ones.
And all of my nutrients come from
this rich, black dirt.
Black must be good ! Black is
good!
It's even good for the pale flowers.
Yes, black must be beautiful."
And with this thought, a black
revolution was begun.

Developing
Individuality
In Dress
By Marie Allen
Fashion Editor
One of the outstanding charac-
teristics of a smartly dressed
woman is her ability to develop
a pleasing individuality about her
clothes. Her costumes have a per-
sona) touch which seems to iden-
tify them as belonging to her and
to her alone. They are symbols
or her love of true beauty and
good taste. They show a com-
pletely mature altitude toward
clothes and a knowledge of the
correct. She does not try to copy
the clothes of other people or to
wear clothes that she does not feel
well in.
She is not subservient to fash-
ion, following its every whim and
fancy. Instead she makes her
clothes work for her. She chooses
from the current fashions the fea-
tures that will enhance her beauty
and are appropriate for her daily
life. She tries to combine these
with a dash of originality so that
the results become imaginative
and sound.
In d e v el o p i n g this personal
st) le, one has to be careful that
one does not create an eccentric
form of dress. Extremes in lines
of color and style will produce
this unattractive effect. The cling-
ing to a certain style or favorite
accessory after the cycle of fash-

Valley of the Dolls
By Margaret Dukes
Jacqueline Susan, a well known
Broadway star, decided to write a
play after appearing in many her-
self. She is the daughter of a
school teacher and painter and
hails from Pennsylvania.
Nationally and internationally
the No. 1 novel in the news is
"Valley of the Dolls." It has been
No. 1 on the list for 2!i consecu-
tive weeks.
From Broadway to Hollywood,
this is the fastest selling, most
whispered about novel of the year.
And no wonder! It reveals more
about the secret, drug-filled, love-
sltirved, sex - sntiuted, nightmare
world of show business than any
book ever published.
It is about the world where sex
is a success weapon, where love is
the smiling mask of hate, where
slipping youth and failing beauty
nrc ever present specters. It is a
world where the magic tickets to
peace or oblivion are "dolls" the
insiders' word for pills pep pills,
sleeping pills, red pills, blue pills
. . . and pills to chase the truth
away.
"Valley of the Dolls" is the
story of three of the most exciting
women you will ever meet; women
who were too tough or too tal-
ented not to reach the top . . . and
unable to enjoy it once they were
there!
Anne Welles: the icy New Eng-
land beauty who melted for the
wrong Mr. Right ... an Adonis
famous for his fidelity.
Neely O'Hara: the lovable kid
from vaudeville who became a star
and a monster.
Jennifer North: the blonde god-
dess who survived every betrayal
committed against her magnificent
body except the last.
Each of them was bred in the
Babylons of Broadway and Holly-
wood. Each of them learned about
making love, making money and
making believe. Each of them rode
the crest of the wave. And each
of them came finally to the "Val-
ley of the Dolls."
Do not miss it. And do not lend
your copy to a friend. You will
never get it back.
tary, Cecil Strong; Assistant
Secretary, George Williams; Par-
liamentarian, Harvey Jones; and
Chaplain, Fleming Gobi. Student
Government representatives are
Steven Kelley and David Sims.
Desmonia Williams was elected
Miss Peacock Hall.
A special welcome is extended
to Retired Sergeant Waller Ander-
son, Jr. and his family. Sgt.
Anderson is serving as dorm direc-
tor of Peacock Hall and he has
expressed his wish to make Pea-
cock Hall a better place to live.
J. L. Lester Hall
On Monday, October 2, the
residents of Lester Dormitory

7S Students Benefit In Savannah
State Upward Bound Project
The Savannah Slate College Up-
ward Hound Project, which is in
its second year, has an enrollment
of 78 students. These students arc
selected from public and private
schools in and around Savannah.
The academic phase of the pro-
gram, which emphasizes communi-
cative skills, mathematics and
great issues with eleetives in physi-
cal science and French, is directed
by o faculty of twelve persons, ap-
proximately half of whom ore sec-
ondary school teachers.
The students are encouraged to
participate in the cultural life of
the college community as fre-
quently as possible. They engage
in such extra-curricular activities
as debating, drama and art. A
notable feature of the program is
the enthusiasm exhibited by stu-
dents and teachers alike.
Upward Bound is a pre-college
program, sponsored by the Office
of Economic Opportunity for high
school students, which seeks to
find and redirect young people
who are capable of going to col-
lege, but cannot do so because of
psychological, social and physical
conditions of poverty.
The program seeks to rescue the
youngster whose brains and abil-
ity may be lost to society, or worse
yet, be directed against society.
unless be can be motivated to ap-
ply his talents and energies con-
structively.
The effectiveness of the pro-
gram is demonstrated by the fact
that almost 80% of the Upward
Hound graduates have gone on to
college, when normally about 5%
of such a group would have been
expected to do so.
The program involves a full-
time summer program and a fol-
low-up program during the regu-
lar school year when students re-
turn to the campus on Saturdays
for classes and other activities.
The staff consists of the follow-
ing persons: Mrs. Martha Wilson,
Director; Miss Norma Weathers,
Assistant Director; Mrs. Sylvia
Bowen, mathematics coordinator;
Mrs. Violet Singleton, mathemat-
ics teacher; Mr. Robert Holt, com-
munications coordinator; Miss

Two Students Get
Chemistry Grants
Two Freshmen at Savannah
State College, Ira Glover and
Janice Hooks, received Chemistry
Grant-in-Aids.
Miss Glover, a graduate of Sol
Johnson, was sixth honor student
and accumulated an average of
3.00.
After graduating from Savan-
nah State College she plans to
further her education and obtain
a Ph.D. degree in chemistry.
Miss Glover was motivated by
two people in her choice to major
in chemistry, her father, Mr.
Frederick Glover, a chemistry
professor at Tompkins High, and
her sister. Mrs. Idella Nails, who
is a chemist for the Federal Gov-
ernment in Washington. D. C.
Presently. Miss Glover is work-
ing on the Protein Project. After
studies are over, she indulges in
her favorite hobby, reading.
She is the daughter of Mr.
Frederick and Edwinna Glover of
1130 East 56th Street. Savannah,
Ga.
Miss Hooks is a graduate of
St. Piux here in Savannah. While
in high school she developed a
deep concept of the field of
chemistrv. This is what stimulated
her to major in chemistry.
She was recommended for the
grant by Mrs. Wilson of the Up-
ward Bound Program.
She is the daughter of Mrs.
Eva Hooks of 1000 Crosby Street,
Savannah- Ga.

Pre -Trial:
A Success
Savannah State College initiated
a college pre-trial program during
the 1967 summer session. Pre-trial
is a program designed for students
who completed high school with
less than an overall average of
The students could enroll for
not less than ten and not more
than thirteen quarter hours. They
had to achieve an overall average
of not less than "C" in all courses
attempted during the pre-trial
period in order to be eligible for
one quarter's probationary enroll-
ment at SSC.
The summer pre-trial program
was held from June 12 through
August 18. Forty-five students
were enrolled in the pre-trial. Of
this forty-five, twenty-five main-
tained an average of "C" or bet-
ter.
We, the members of the Tiger's
Roar staff, wish these twenty-five
students continued success during
this school term.

What It's Like To
Be A Summer
Intern In the
Nation's Capitol
By Mary Beal
As one of thirty Peace Corps
Interns in the nation's capital, I
found it to be an enjoyable and
rewarding experience. One which
I shall never forget.
I was assigned as a student as-
sistant in the Comptroller's office.
The duties I performed were
basically general accounting, such
as recording transactions, filing
documents, and setting up work-
sheets. However, under the guid-
ance of my supervisor, 1 compiled
three financial reports which were
to be sent to the U. S. Treasury
Department and found that by ap-
plying what 1 had been taught to
a real situation proved to be of
greater value to me than past per-
formance on written examinations.
Through the Intern Program I
was able to participate in many
different lecture series and meet
many of the nation's leaders. Of
course, we met and talked with
many of the Peace Corps' person-
nel, but the program was not com-
pletely Peace Corps oriented.
To mention some of the leaders
with whom we were able to have
sessions are: Harold Howe, Com-
missioner of Education ; Sargent
Shriver, Director of the Office of
Economic Opportunity. We also
visited Capitol Hill for sessions
with such people as Sen. Brooke,
Mass.; Sen. Robert Kennedy, N.
Y.; Rep. John Conyers, Mich.;
Sen. Edward Kennedy, Mass.; and
Rep. Wilbur Mills, Ark. However,
these are not all of the leaders
with whom we exchanged views
and asked questions concerning
national and international prob-
lems.
One of my extracurricular ac-
tivities was performing volunteer
services two evenings a week with
VISTA, an associated program of
the Peace Corps. My major func-
tion was to work with underpriv-
ileged youngsters in the area of
recreation.

37 Volumes
Presented Library
Mrs. S. L. Varnedoe has given
the college library the complete
works of Shakespeare in thirty-
seven volumes. This is a ^ift in
memory of Mrs. Dixon's husband,
Mr. W. L. Dixon. This set. one
of less than two thousand sets, was
published by the Limited Edition's
Club in 1939. The editor was
Herbert Farjeon. the designer was
Bruce Rogers, and the illustrations
were done by many persons. Each
of the thirty-seven volumes was
illustrated by a different illustra-
tor, including Americans and
those from foreign countries. In
some of the books the illustrations
are in color and reproduced with
remarkable brilliance.
The type chosen for this work
was 18-point Anton Janson cut
especially for this edition by the
Lanston Monotype Company. The
paper sixty tons was made
particularly for this edition by
the Worthy Paper Company.
On Shakespeare's annual jour-
ney to Warwickshire, he resided
with his friend. John Davenant.
The design of the cover of these
volumes is supposed to be the
wallpaper in Davenant's house
dating back to 1550.
This set of Shakespeare's works,
unique and lovely in every respect,
is a valuable addition to our
library collection.

THE PARTY'S OVER. Face it, friends no matter "How You Spent
Your Summer Vacation," as a volunteer worker, in painful em-
ployment, or just flaked out by the nearest body of water, it's back
to the salt mines now! Rut the beginning of every school year brings
a special excitement of its own, and we're here to make sure that
you meet every occasion dressed in the best that campus fashion
has to ofFer. And there's no lack of excitement in this department.
either! For instance:
THE STAMP OF CONFORMITY which has been the identifying
mark of the college man for far too long a time (in our opinion,
anyway ) . has been dealt something of a body blow. And it was the
"Mod" phenomenon whatever its merits as fashion that gave
the quality of individuality new impetus. Within the framework of
your favorite fashions, you've got more of a chance to express your-
self by the clothes you wear than ever before!
THE MULTIPLE CHOICE ANSWER
in point. It's a 3-piece suit that isn't j
a case
3-piece
suit at all, in the ordinary sense of th'e word.
The jacket, vest and slacks have been coordi-
nated by the manufacturer for you to wear as
a "set" or in combination with other compo-
nents. Your Multi-set could couple a matching
jacket and vest with contrasting slacks; or it
might combine matching vest and trousers with
a different jacket; or all three pieces could be
subtly coordinated in differing fabrics. If
you've ever found that mix-and-match is a
problem. Multi-sets are an effortless solution!
POW! PATTERNS is what's happening in
slacks, baby. Bold, colorful, and riff fit now you
can pick a Pow ! pattern from such diverse sug-
gestions as plaids, windowpane ox glen ; checks,
gun club or houndstooth ; tartans, authentic and
otherwise; stripes and beefy herringbones
practically everything you can think of except
Flower Power prints! What's more, they're not
only available in all-wool and wool blends, but
in casual slacks the practical, everyday cotton
'T I'fitt'in [i..|\.--ii-r .Mininn.it many |icrm;i
nent press; in your favorite slim, trim styling.
THE TWO TOP TRENDS in fabric this Fall are Twill weaves and
Windowpane patterns. The Twills you'll find in all the variations
you can imagine cavalry, whipcord, gabardine, saxony, eheviot
and clear on into sturdy, casual cottons. The Twill look turns up
everywhere : in suits, sport jackets and slacks, vests, topcoats, rain-
coats you name it, and you'll find it in Twill.
Big Windowpane blocks dominate the pattern scene in sport
.jackets, suits, slacks, sweaters even socks! Block sizes go from
big to bigger, in single, double, and triple-track patterns as well as
oversize overplaids. The color range can be as bright or subdued as
you like, in lively multi-color heather blends or bold solids.
YOUR SHIRT WARDROBE TURNS ON. ..with -Turned-on
Brights" or, to sum up the shirt story in one short word: color!
Brighter, deeper solids, a wide variety of stripes, checks. Tatter-
sails and herringbones all point to a colorful season for shirts.
These bright colors and patterns add new liveliness to the tradi-
tional button-down in oxford or broadcloth. And have you tried one
of the new no-button button-down or "town" collared shirts yet?
Or have you noticed how many more shirts come with French cuffs?
It's not too soon to start hinting for Christmas cufflinks, you know!
That about does it for now. Next month we'll try outerwear on
for size, in time to coincide with the downturn in temperatures. See
you then.

BOBBY ADAMS
What's wrong with the Tigers?
This is the "BIG" question being
asked around the city of Savannah
and more so on SSC's campus
since liif Tigers have won only
one of [heir first three games, Ai
tlie beginning of the season it was
predicted the Tigers could pos-
sibly go undefeated based on the
amount of experienced players
and letlermen returning, and con-
sidering the lough schedule, in-
cluding Alabama A&M, Alabama
State, Fort Valley, and Clark Col-
lege, all in another conference and
always being tough in the pasl
years.
SS( had .1 host of experienced
lellermen to return with from 2 lo
3 years' experience al evei ) posi-
tion "ii the team excepl center and
quarterback, bill a glimpse al their
progress thus far would believe it
to be .i fairy talc if someone told
ilu'in thai SSC had four all con-
ference players, of [lie top
ralcd fullbacks i" the conference,
and possihlj one of the most ex-
citing quarterbacks in the S.E.A.C.
With all this material and po-
tential the question still is there
. . Whal's wrong with the Tigers?
A look ai the Tigers offensively
shows them averaging only 7.2
poinls per game after three out-
ings despite picking up over 200
yards rushing in two of those
games and having on all confer-
i im c halfback in * ai Ins \\ estmare

each. The only possible weak
ipol should be at one end, which
is played by a second year man,
Earl Brown, and nun be at center,
with sophomore Willie Armstead
filling lhat spot.
Defensive!) SSC has allowed
17.0 poinls a game, which isn't
bad al all i onsidcring the absence
of defensive end David Roberson
nut of the firsl three games with a
bad knee, bul being replaced ex-
cellently by freshman Willie West,
and the absence nf all conference
tackle Bobby Carter sidelined with
a bad arm. and several oilier play-
ers who saw limited action last
venr. Hul. despite the est usi- and
minor injuries the fact slill re-
mains lliat the Tigers are losing
and the fans are getting very dis-
gusted.
It has been concluded that some-
thing is truly wrong. But what?
Il still lias lo be found out. Fans
only hope that something i an be
concluded and solved before the
season is loo far gone.
In their opening, the Tigers
managed to put together a fair

touchdowns to defeat Livingston

passing to flanker David for one
touchdown and storing another
after a long gallop by fullback
Frank Bell lo the losers' three-yard

In the second game, that seemed
more like an instant replay of the
first with all the cosily errors
committed, the Tigers weren't as
fortunate and accepted a 23-0 shut-
out from Alabama A&M College in
Normal. Unable to get their of-
fensive game rolling, SSC failed
to pick up 100 yards rushing and
bleu several scoring attempts on
long incomplete passes. The de-
fensive unit up front played their
usual lough down to the final buz-
zer game, bul once again [he long
pass proved to be loo much for
tlie Tigers to defend against and
A&M riddled the secondary all
night. A .'16-yard punl return, a
blocked punt on SSC's 20-yard
line, and a sneaky little halfback
who managed to elude the Tigers
secondary, accounted f n the win-
ners' three touchdowns and did
the needed scoring for the win.

WILLIAM ALDERMAN. JR.
William Alderman, Jr., distance
runner nf the Savannah State Col-
lege Track Team, participated in a
Cross Countrj Meet at Georgia
Tech on October 14, 1967. The
Cross Country course covers a dis-
tance of 1. 1 miles.
Some colleges and universities
that took pari in this meet were:
Georgia Tech, 1 niversilj of Geor-
gia, Georgia State College, Emory
University, Berry College, Georgia
Southern, and naturally the Savan-
nah Stale College Tigers.
Last year Alderman participated
in a cross i oiinli v meet at Georgia
Tech. He placed eighth out .if
sixty-five, and was the onlj Negro
partii ipating in that meet.
The Tigei invasion of Georgia
Tech was led b\ William Alder-

Fashion
(Continual from Page 3)
ion lias changed can create an odd
and disturbing look. However,
there are times when this eccen-
tric form of dress is worn for so
main years that it at last becomes
an accepted costume for that par-
ticular person. Without it. the
person actually looks queer. Per-
haps you can remember certain
people iv ho continued to wear
their distinguishing costume.
However, you will find that you
will feel more satisfied with your
appearance if it expresses beauty
and suitability within the cycle of
fashion.
Often il is the way an article
is worn rather than the specific
item it-elf that gives the costume
that spark of interest which makes
il outstanding. This requires no
added expense, simply the desire
to find the correct manner of dis-
playing it.
An individual style can be yours
wherever you live. It is not de-
pendent on money. All it needs is
the acceptance of the fact that
. lollies should be an expression of
beauty.

vt the Flag, Boys:
THERE ARE ISO BAD TEACHERS;
THERE ARE ONLY BAD STUDENTS
The academic year has only just begun and already
one thing is clear: you're not ready for college.
What, then, should you do? Should you throw up your
hands and qu it ? I say no ! I say you must attack, grapple,
cope! I say America did not become the world's leader in
motel construction and kidney transplants by running
away from a fight!
To the question then : You say you're not ready for col-
lege. You're too green, too naive. You lack maturity.
Okay, the answer is simple: get mature. How? Well
sir, to achieve maturity you need two things :
a) aprobingmind;
b ) a vest.
A probing mind will be quickly yours if you'll remem-
ber that education consists not of answers but of ques-
tions. Blindly accepting information and dumbly
memorizing data is high school stuff. In college you don't
just accept. You dispute, you push, you pry, you chal-
lenge. If, for instance, your physics prof says, "E equals
mc squared," don't just write it down. Say to the prof,
"Why?"
This will show him two things:
a I Your mind is a keen, thrusting instrument.
b ) You are in the wrong major.
Ask questions, questions, and more questions. That is
the essence of maturity, the heart and liver of education.
Nothing will more quickly convince the teachers that you
are of college calibre. And the tougher your questions,
the better. Come to class with queries that dart and flash,
that make unexpected sallies into uncharted territory.
Ask things which have never been asked before, like
"How tall was Nietzsche?" and "Did the Minotaur have
ticks? If so, were they immortal?" and "How often did
Pitt the Elder shave?"

(Incidentally, you may never know the complete an-
swer to Pitt the Elder's shaving habits, but of one thing
you can be positive: no matter how often he shaved and
no matter what blades he used, he never enjoyed the
shaving comfort that you do. I am assuming, of course,
that you use Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, a
logical assumption to make when one is addressing col-
lege men which is to say men of perspicacity, discrimi-
nation, wit, taste, cognizance, and shrewdness for
Personna is a blade to please the perspicacious, delight
the discriminating, win the witty, tickle the tasteful,
coddle the cognizer, and shave the shrewd.
( I bring up Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades be-
cause the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel
Blades pay me to write this column, and they are in-
clined to sulk if I omit to mention their product. I would
not like to see them unhappy, the makers of Personna.
for they are fine ruddy men, fond of morris dancing and
home brewed root beer, and they make a blade that
shaves closely and cleanly, nicklessly and hacklessly, and
is sharp and gleaming and durable and available both in
double-edge style and Injector style.
i And from these same bounteous blademakers comes
Burma-Shave, regular or menthol, a lather that out-
lathers other lathers, brother. So if you'd rather lather
better, and soak your whiskers wetter, Burma-Shave's
your answer.)
But I digress. We have now solved the problem of
maturity. In subsequent columns we'll take up other is-
sues, equally burning. Since 1953 when this column first
started running in your campus paper, we've tackled
such thorny questions as "Can a student of 19 find hap-
piness with an economics professor of 90 ?" and "Should
capital punishment for pledges be abolished?" and "Are
room-mates sanitary?" Be assured that in this, our 14th
year, we will not be less bold.
The makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades
(double-edfie or Injector) and Burma-Shave (regular
or menthol) are pleased (or apprehensive) to bring you
another year of Max Shulman's uninhibited, uncen'
sored column.
Your Paper
(Continued from Page 2)
Because the newspaper is such a vital organ of the school, it is directly
up to the staff and indirectly up to the mass of the population to
strive for continual improvement.
Our goal is to have the most supported and best written newspaper
this college has ever had.
Your newspaper will have the many items of news which are of
interest to you.
The Tiger's Roar plans a very busy, progressive and successful
college year and we wish the same to each of you.
TIGERS STOP LANE, 20-6
McCall, Fanning
Convocation Speakers
Rev. McCall
"What shall you do with life?"
was the subject of Rev. Walter
McCall's speech lo the student
body. Rev. McCall. pastor of
Providence Baptist Church in At-
lanta, is also Acting Dean of
Morehouse School of Religion.
In his talk. Rev. McCall empha-
sized the tasks thai face our gen-
eration, be aware of at least four
things in the generation of frus-
tration and turbulence: (1) Dis-
cover the purpose for which we
are made, (2) Understand that if
life is worth living, it is not be-
cause we have found it that way,
but rather because we make it so,
(3 1 Vie must discipline our lives
daily to live up to the highest and
best we know. (4l We must disci-
pline ourselves to live by some
great design under some great
vision, and for some great purpose
greater than ourselves.
In closing, he reminded the au-
dience of his subject, and com-
mented, "Why not try giving it
away to noble causes through
preparation for service."
Dr. Fanning
Dr. J. L. Fanning, Vice Presi-
dent for Services at the University
of Georgia and former recipient of
The Progressive Fanner Man of
the Year Award, was the guest
speaker, Friday morning, Nov. 3
on Savannah State College's
weekly assembly program held in
Wiley Gymnasium.
The former president of the
Athens Kiwanis Club stressed to
the student body the great pace
that events are occurring in our
environment, and staled
that this is an ample lime for our
voung people to shine, and put
emphasis on occurrences in our
society and community.
Fanning commented that one of
the greatest possessions that we
own is that of the privilege to lead,
love, be friendly, understand, and
most of all, to choose what you
want to he.
Choice, Fanning states, is one
of the most difficult areas that we
can ever endeavor, and successful
decisions are not easy to come by.
Fanning went on to say it's easy
to let others choose areas for you
to enter, but the difficult part is
when we enter them that we find
out that it's not alwa\s our way
to success.
Fanning went on to say that
decisions made today are not like
the ones made by our grand-
fathers, but more advanced and
complex. He went on lo say that
our decisions should he handled
very carefully, especially in areas
of great concentration-
Fanning, looking into the fu-
ture, projected that in the next 30
years about U3'/r of the world's
people will be living in urban
areas and about % ol lne United
States people will live in 254 urban
areas, and with students from 159
countries attending college at SSC
it should give us a good cross ref-
erence of our state and keep each
other informed on various aspects
of the stale, and changes occurring
as a result of people moving.
Fanning stated that our cities
lean toward excellence, because it's
rewarding. This is the key to suc-
cess in a community if you want
to be accepted over others.
PLAYERS BY THE SEA
INTERVIEW ACTRESS
By Patricia Jamerson
Savannah State's Dramatics
Club. -The Players By the Sea,"
sent representatives to an inter-
view of Miss Virginia Grey, held
in the private banquet room of the
Downtowner Motel here in Savan-
nah. The interview was part of a
publicity plan by Universal Pic-
tures Studios lo promote their cur-
rent film, "Rosie," which is pre-
miering in Atlanta, Georgia.
Miss Grey is now appearing in
the film "Rosie" and has played
in such films as "Portrait in
Black," "Back Street," "Madam
X," "Flower Drum Song," and
"Tammie Tell Me True." She is a
native of Hollywood, California
and has appeared in more than a
dozen Ross Hunter productions.
At the interview, which was also
a coke party, were representatives
from various schools in the Savan-
nah area, including Armstrong
State College and Alfred E. Beach
High School.
The interview itself was very in-
formal. Miss Grey was asked vari-

industry and acting in general.
Her views on such topics as se\ in
the cinema and the temperaments
of actors were expressed. She said
that films can get no worse as far
as sex is concerned: they could
only get better. Miss Grey also
stated that censuring is a necessity
today because some producers will
do just about anything to promote
a picture. When one of the inter-
viewers slated that putting an age
limit on some movies was insult-
ing to the public's integrity. Miss
Grey immediately came to the de-
fense of the censors by saying that
the prohibition is not meant to in-
sult the public, but rather to pro-
tect them from producers who
would run wild with lewd, sex-
filled films.
AH in all, the representatives
from SSC found the interview to
be enlightening as to the parallel
between the stage and film and
Miss Grey proved to be a very
delightful and interesting person.

WHAT DOES HOME-
COMING MEAN TO YOU?
Our roving reporter, Augustas
Howard, set out in an effort to get
the varied reactions to the staled
question. He came up with many
different answers. In response to
being asked, "What does Home-
coming mean In you?" the follow-
ing comments wen- made:
Tommy Hurt. Sophomore band
member, stated: "To me, it is a
time of invigoration of school
spirit, an inspiration to the being
and a lime when the student bod)
concentrates on s h o w i n g the
beauty that lies within itself. This
is home- oming to me."
Rose M. Copeland, Sophomore,
commented: "It is the biggest
event <if the school year, wherein
ill' i ' i . linn Ii en j 03 mint ami ex-
citement. Many talents are dis-
played and beautiful, different de-
signs arc presented, It is the time
when all football players shine in
the game of the j'car."
C/litjuila Williams, Junior, ex-
pressed homecoming as an event
which happens only once a year.
It is a lime for the various colleges
I" mute and have a wonderful
time. It is also a time for SSC to
meet their old friends and make
new ones."
Dennis Davis, Tiger co-captain,
defi'M-ivi- .tin I offeiishr mil, com-
mented, "Homecoming builds up
tension in a player. The very week
gets the player into a spirited feel-
ing. I do think that if more peo-
ple would take away the luxuries
and apply the conventional back-
bone, we could get better results.
Furthermore, the cultural aspects
are given and not the real home-
coming spirit. I think that it
should be publicized more. In con-
clusion, it enthuses the players
into a maximum performance be-
yond the infinitive."
President Howard Jordan, Jr.
was quoted as stating, "The home-
coming period is a very happy
season on any college campus. It
is an occasion where old gratis
and friends return to the college
to visit with former teachers, class-
mates and other alumni.
"It is a time when old acquaint-
ances are renewed and new friend-
ships made. It is a time when old
grads and friends can rededicate
themselves to their college for the
purpose of assisting its future de-
velopment by lending strong and
enthusiastic moral support. It is
a time when old grads return to
see the progress which has been
made at their Alma Mater since
their graduation.
"Homecoming means just what
the name implies coming home
to visit friends again."
Coach Leo Richardson com-
mented, "The players are inspired
to do a good job because the
alumni will be returning, parents
will be coming to see them play,
etc. A win over Albany State
would give us a chance to capture
the conference championship. It is
very important that we win this
one."
Willie West, Freshman defensive
end, expressed this (homecoming)
as the must important game in
the world, It is a game that no
one should lose. After all, the
l'i eparations thai go into this
game, it's inconceivable to lose.
Homecoming inspires the players.
Most leams play their best game
on Homecoming Day.
Campus Patrol Officer Thomas
had this to say: "It is a time when
most people get a change to gel
together. Ii is a joyous occasion,
just hk Christines, We (th: pa-
trol officers) look forward to the
hard work and gel prepared for it.
After gelling prepared, we look
forward t < > it."
Jack Handy, football player.
commented, "It is ,1 gala affair.
glamorous occasion filled with
lovely floats, and the coronation
of the queens. There is also the
bonfire.
"I would like to see the team
win the hard fought game for die
alumni. The team members have
very high spirits and everyone
[nils out 100 per cent."
John Abrmns, star punter, said.
"First of all, this game means a
new SSC. It should bring the
championship which is rightfully
ours but has always eluded us. If
we win, it should build a better
relationship between the students
and the athletic department. It
sbnuld separate the men from the
boys; we are men. therefore we
should win this game. The game
should lie ours."
Last, but not least, Felix Bell,
star quarterback of Tiger squad.
Bell stated, "As a tradition, SSC
lias been |c.-ing it- liomeromim:

What's Your
Gripe?
Compiled by Dwight Blackshear
The gripe, a human emotion of
which all of us have in one form
or another, is best given a "work-
out" by our presence at this insti-
tution. The lengthening shadows
of the next exam. The unremitting
toil involved in preparing for the
exam or simply the hoarded Ven-
u'l'.im f\]iv*'*-ft\ by the 5'7" high
guy whose girl friend has been
taken by a G'5" high football
player, are all emotional wounds
in which . . . The gripe will come!
Who has a gripe? Everyone,
which includes you, an individual.
When docs one gripe? Practically
24 hours a day. Therefore, since
everyone gripes in one form or
another, should we as a happy in-
stitutional family allow this emo-
tion, which all of us express? This
column shall be dedicated to the
"gripers" on campus, which shall
include not only the student bod)
but also the faculty members.
We on the Tiger's Roar staff
hope we can in some manner
pacify the "gripers" by giving
them a media in which to express
themselves. Whether the gripe is
sharp and penetrating, bitter and
contemptuous, broad and deep or
just something known and recog-
nized l>\ your fellow student or
faculty members, present it to us
so that we may present it to every-
one through the scope of the school
publication.
While tripping around campus,
I st li 1 id iled upon some of these
gripes, that are repeated at least
50 times a day: so 1 took up my
trusty pern il and jotted down
some of these gripes that amount
to something like what this young
lady bad to say on . . .
Academic Freedom to her friend
. . . "The teacher should tell us
about academic freedom when we
first enter his class, because the
si uden t will dev elop a fea r f
speaking in class, and won't know
when to speak, how to speak, Ol if
he should speak at all."
Then again. Jesse Davis, a vet-
eran of State, had this to say-
about the dining ball . . .
"The food in the dining hall is
cold, and 1 get tired of grits and
eggs practically ever) morning; it
gels monotonous. 1 think they
should change the menu or some-
thing!"
Another person griped about
the dining hall and was overheard
to say . . . "A thirty-minute wait
for a ten-minute meal is crazy.
The only satisfaction I get out of
going into the dining hall i- not
to eat, but to talk to my girl friend
as she eats. 1 She seems more talk-
ative while eating.)"
One of the major gripes of the
upper class girls this quarter
"I don't like the idea of fresh-
man girls getting all the space in
the dorm. I feel we. the upper
class women should have first
choice."
These being only a few of the
relatively thousands of gripes
beard every week, are given to you
basically as examples of what the
college student feels about the in-
stitution, his friends, his fellow
students, and the faculty.
During the year you'll probably
hear someone complaining about
the nosey dormitory girl that puts
a glass cm the wall in her room
to hear what the girls in the next
room are gossiping about, or com-
plaints in which student will criti-
cize teachers and vice versa. Re-
gardless, we'll give you what you
want, and if we don't, we'll change
it so you're happy. If you have
suggestions, bring them right in!
So let me "pull your coat" to
the new groove, the "griping
groove" and "if you like it, tell
\our friends; if you don't, well,
just keep it to yourself."
So with no further adieu, if
you've got a gripe, send it in to
t b e gripelislcneT. Remember,
"Let it all hang out," and just get
it off your chest, the gripe that is!

A Land of Love
By Emanuel Larkin
As 1 walk about the green fields
without a care I know.
It makes me wonder what is
beyond nature's door.
I look and to my surprise, I
find that it is love.
Which all mankind share peace-
fully
like the flying dove.
Enhanced by love and an erotic
mood.
it takes ine by the hand.
And guides me to that glorious
realistical land.
Placed upon the terrain of love
and fearing that I might fall,
I soon learn the purpose of this
land
and realized that love is for all.

articles and llie following books:
Louis XIV, Life in Stuart Eng-

which 1 reviewed for this edition
of the Tiger's Koar.
The task of finding the right
wouls to discuss this hook is truly
a lest of intelligence. The first
chapters in the book simply dis-
cuss the idea of love and marriage
in England during the 16th and
17th centuries. The remainder of
the book was dedicated lo the type
and extent of love making the

sexed and was constantly in search
of satisfying his need. Charles 11
was known for his many wives
while his brother, James II. found
his pleasure in penances which he
plaee.l on the people. The love
life of William and Mary was even
spoken of as having taken place
in a strange and abnormal man-
ner. Finally, Anne was a lover
of brandy and her passions were
very closely related lo those of
Charles I.

(Dors It Go or Stay?)
Kim I'p-ilon Chapter of Alpha
Phi Omega Service Fraternity,
Inc.. the most recently organized
fiaiermh on campus, has storied
off it- yeat "Going all out."
Among the many projects and
ideas that have been cnlibralcd
for the ensuing year is the new
I- ial-1'iover limn" radio pro-
gram sponsored by APO.
The idea, which originated
from niie of the fraternity mem-
bers was given full support nol
onl) fr the olhei members, hut
also from WSOK radio station.
WSOK fell that this program
would he of help in allowing the
community lo hear from the stu-
dents of hSC.
Now in operation for nearly
Iwo mouths, Prat-Power Hour has
i hi l standingly presented to both
the campus and Community, pro-
grams of educational awareness
ami entertainment.
However, the college radio net-
work is not functioning as
efficiently as it was programmed,
due to lack of cooperation of the
school administration and student
body.
We, the members of APO, urge
the SSC family to support the col-
lege radio program, which comes
on WSOK (1230 KC) each
Wednesday, from 1 1 a.m. to 3
p.m., and lo take part in this
function by giving the cooperntion
and advertisement it truly de-
serves. The existence of Fiat-Power
Hour depends on the existence of
the campus radio station and the
existence of the radio depends on

annual Coca-Cola Gold Helmet
award.
Betts. a 5-10 170 pound or less
stature is a native of Pascagoula,
Mississippi an djoined the Tigers
last season as a center and line-
backer, but proved to be more
effective at the latler and has been
in one of the linebacker slots thus
far being named all-conference
his two years on the squad.
In addition to bis defensive
chores. Betts handles most of the
place kicking, booting 11-14 extra
points, but failed to connect on a
few long range field goal attempts.
Defensive Coach Richard Wash-
ington stated. "Betts is one of our
finest players, he has an out-
standing personality, always ready
when called upon, and is always
trying to do a good job."
W hen asked how he felt as
being named recipient of the
annual award, Betts commented,
"It's a real honor and I'm grateful
to our entire coaching staff and
my fellow players for making it
possible."
Henry S. Betts. Gold Helmet
winner, and All-Conference line-
backer, and place kicker, small in
size but big in heart and ability
and truly earner of all his laurels.

Tigers Lose Seven Gridders
When the Southeastern Athletic
defending conference champions,
Savannah State's Tigers, open
their grid practice next season, a
total of seven players will be miss-
ing due to graduation or playing
expiration.
Three of the seven will vacate
the Tiger's heralded defensive
unit, with the others making up
the offensive unit.
Bobby Carter, a 216 pound
guard who played four years on
the first team was a big plug in
the line and was named to the
Southeastern Athletic Conference
dream learn two years in a row
and will leave a big gap to be
filled. Also on the defensive line
Dennis Davis who was switched
from defensive halfback to end
will be gone, but has several
capable veterans in all conference
Willie West and David Roberson.
The only defensive back to
graduate will be Vaughn Ford,
who also loaned a hand at quarter-
back during his playing lime with
the Tigers. Ford was named to the
all conference team twice and was
the team captain this year.
Only two offensive linemen will
be gone, in end John Mitchell
from Johnson High and 220 tackle
Jack Handy who missed the final
two games of the season with a
shoulder injury. Handy, a two-
time all city tackle at SCJ played
four years on the Tigers' first unit
and was a big asset during his
college career.
Carlos Westmore, SSC's leading
pass receiver last season with 12
catches good for 175 yards and
an additional 236 yards rushing
was all conference that season and
combined with Lewis Wilher-
spoon. their number two pass re-
ceiver, with five grabs good for
US yards and two touchdowns,
provide a deadly one-two punch
for SSC who finished second in
the conference, losing to Albany
State in the title game, 20-13.
What's Your
Gripe?, . . Is It
Here? . . . Hm in in!
(Due to so many gripes be-
ing received, some are printed
in litis issue and (he rest will
appear in the nexl issue.)
Welcome gripers, to the section
of this paper that is guaranteed to
make you drool all over your-
selves. Why? How? Because here,
that's right, here in this small
inconspicuous space, the "Gripe-
listener" will bring forth the best
honest lo goodness gripes collected
from students and teachers on and
around campus. Some said it
couldn't be done, others said it
shouldn't be done, but it's too late.
"cause ii has been done.
Being it only fitting to start
with first things first, the first
gripe I have received from Gripers
Anonymous On Campus went
something like this:
Why do we need advisors for
our student groups? Do you fear
insurrection? Signed Cornered
Rebel."
However, getting back to the
true purpose of this column, we
received several very significant
_i i|"- ulm h I took i" tin- projiei
authorities for interpretation and
actions toward correcting them.
Listed below are some of the many
gripes received, through t h e
"Gripe-Box" and other sources.
Dear Sir: The girls of Lockette
Hall want: Hot water, shower
curtains, tissues in the bathrooms,
and the washer and dryer fixed.
Now for the Dining Hall: We want
drinks on Sunday, cornbread more
often, no fat-filled pork chops.
II ipe out that shrimp salad, and
pul something in those bags on
Sunday. We would appreciate im-
mediate action on these matters.
Thank you. SSC Girls of Lock-
ette Hall."
( M r. Johnson ( Comptroller )
has assured me that he will look
into the matter of no hot water.
shower curtains and tissues in the
bathroom immediately. More corn-
bread is on the way! And. as for
the drinks and bags on Sunday.

worker. I know that it takes 12
workers from just after Breakfast
to just before Dinner Sunday to
make the required 800 lyes 800)
bags for the Trobbing crowd of
students coming in to eat, drink,
and be merry at 12:00. However.
so that nothing is loss by the
venture of these young ladles, the
Sind Seated Lunchroom crew of
Sav'h St. Coll. I Kappa Mu Mu),
has promised not to pack the bags
so tightly under the counter, and
to In to dress the bags U p a little. I
Continuing down the line of
gripes, one move fan wrote:
"Dear Gripelislenei : The thing
that is bugging me the most
around SSC. is that the movie list
states a particular movie to be
shown, and then when we come
out to see it. there has been a
change at the very last moment.
Why don't they stick to the list?"
(Well. Dean Freeman, realizing
the faultiness of this list promptly
made out a correct data sheet and
personally typed it. As a result,
now you are guaranteed to see the
movie listed or your money back.)
In another gripe, the griper
writes:
"Dear Sir: We would appreciate
it if the student workers rate of
pay would be raised to the mini-
mum wage of $1.40 an hour. We
would also like our checks on
time. Thank you."
I Unfortunately, the changing of
institutional pay wages could only
be done by the National office in
charge of programs such as the
EOA. etc. The business office is
making checks out as soon as they
are received and will try even
harder to please the students.)
In reviewing the trophy case, a
conscientious student on campus,
Mr. Charles Lemmons, griped that
" The trophies in the showcase
need to becleaned."

Special Report to
All Colleges and Universities
Reports which indicate that
aerosol glass-chillers have been
implicated in the death of seven
persons in the sixteen to twenty-
one year age group in the last year
are of deep concern to the aerosol
industry. The fluorocarbon in
these products reportedly was col-
lected in a balloon and then the
concentrated vapors inhaled. The
user apparently expected an in-
toxication or similar experience.
Since fluorocarbons are regarded
as relatively non-toxic and safe for
use in aerosols, students may be-
lieve that confining the concen-
trated vapor in a balloon to in-
hale, while excluding oxygen, is
also harmless. This is not the
case; it may have fatal conse-
quences. Thus, this appeal to you
to explain to students that this
gross misuse deliberate inhala-
tion of the highh concentrated va-
pors which can be collected from
some aerosol products has caused
death. Undoubtedly, when the stu-
dents are made aware of this pos-
sible consequence, the practice
will cease.
It is not known how widespread
this fad is, and each school is
asked to judge whether a report-
ing of the facts to the students in
the school is indicated. There is
always the risk of creating an in-
terest in something that is consid-
ered to be new and unusual for
producing abnormal mental or
physical stimulation.
The tragedy of a deatli is suffi-
cient justification for the industry
to ask your cooperation in help-
ing to avoid the exposure of un-
knowing students to these possibly
serious consequences. While the
highlighting of a problem may re-
sult in creating interest in it rather
than terminating its use. the in-
dustry has, because of these deaths
involving glass-chillers, decided to
make this information available to
responsible persons who have inti-
mate contact with those in the six-
teen to twenty-one year age group.

by the students. They are:

Man and His War
By Emanuel Larkin
The dawn of conflict arose in man,
As he encountered difficulties in
i-- land.
A war of independence has been
fought,
Which the lives and blood of men
have bought.
There have been disputes over
boundaries of land.
For each nation firmly look her
stand,
War between empires of Caesar's
day,
Has influenced bitterness lo come
our way.
Wars have been compromised with
a treaty,
While oilier nalions ceased lo be
greedy,
Conflicts brought ahoul World
War I and II.
Yet man realizes lhat he is not
yet through.
Wars have been fought far and
near,
Even in that Asiatic land of Korea,
Man has fought in many revolu-
tions.
Yet he has no perpetual ending
solutions.
War is the time of dreadful hours.
It was demonstrated at Okinawa,
The conflicl of war slitl rises in
his land.
For there is even war in Vietnam.
Years have passed and war cannot
he undone.
For man figbls until he has won,
This conflict of war may readily
cease,
And bring lo this world glorious
peace.

'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY
Yuletide is almost upon us. Let's stop wasting time in
classes and get on with our Christmas shopping. Follow-
ing are a number of gift suggestions, all easily obtainable
at your nearest war surplus boutique.
First, a most unusual gift idea, brand new this year
and certain to please everyone on your list a gift cer-
tificate from the American Veterinary Medicine Associa-
tion ! Each certificate is accompanied by this charming
poem:
Merry Christmas, north and south,
Does your cow have hoof and mouth?
And your dog, fidele semper,
Here's a cure for his distemper.
Little kitten, cute and squirmy.
Bring her in. I think she's wormy.
To bunnies, turtles, parrots green,
Joyeux Noel! Heurcux Vaccine!
Are you wondering what to give that extra-special man
on your list? Stop wondering. Give him that extra-special
shaving combination. Personna Super Stainless Steel
Blades and Burma Shave. Each gift is accompanied by
this, charming poem:
Christmas merry, Nov Year bonny,
From your friendly blade Per sonny.
You icill have theladies fawning,
If you're shaving with Persawning.
Injector style or double edges,
Both are made by good Pcrsedges.
And Burma-Shave in plain or menthol.
Leaves your face as smooth as rcnthol.
(NOTE: As everyone knows, renthol is the smoothest
substance ever discovered. You may not know, however,
that renthol is named after its inventor, Ralph Waldo
Renthol, who developed it by crossing a swan with a ball
bearing. )
(Interestingly enough. Mr. Renthol did not start out
to be an inventor. Until age 50 he was a Western Union
boy. Then fate took a hand. One day while delivering a
singing telegram to a girl named Claudia Sigafoos, Ralph
noted to his surprise that the telegram was signed
"Claudia Sigafoos!" She had sent herself a birthday
greeting!
(When pressed to explain, Claudia told Ralph a heart-
rending tale. It seems that when she was only six weeks
old, her parents were killed in an avalanche. The infant
Claudia was found by a pair of kindly caribou who raised
her as their own. They taught her all they knew like how
to rub bark off a tree and which lichens are better than
other lichens-but in time they saw that this was not
enough. When Claudia reached age IS, they entered her
in Bennington.
I Unused to people, Claudia lived a lonely life so lonely,
in fact, that she was reduced to sending herself birthday
greetings, as we have seen.
(Ralph, deeply touched, married Claudia and tried his
best to make her mingle with people. It didn't work. They
went nowhere, saw no one, except for an annual Christmas
visit to Claudia's foster parents, Buck and Doe. To while
away his long, lonely hours, Ralph finally built a work
bench and started to futz around with inventions, as we
have seen.
(It is pleasant to report that the story of Ralph and
Claudia ends happilv. After the birth of their two chil-
dren, Donder and Blitzen, Claudia joined the PTA and
soon overcame her fear of people. Ralph joined the Elks. )
But I digress. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good
night! Ho-ho-ho!

Tigers Bow To Benedict
Savannah State's Tigers failed
to shake first game jitters and
made several costly mistakes as
Benedict College flashed a well-
balanced attack to spoil the local's
debut. 93-84. Tuesday night in
Wiley gym.
Led by guards Joseph Suma

Richardson Named Tigers Get
Coach Of Year
LEO RICHARDSON
Leo Richardson, head football
coach at Savannah State College
was named coach of the year by
the Southeastern Athletic Con-
ferences coaches and athletic di-
rectors at the conference's annual
meeting held at Savannah State
recently.
Richardson, a native of Gresh-
man, South Carolina guided the
fighting Tigers to a 6-2-1 record
for the year, with SSC going un-
defeated in the conference to
wrap up the highly honored crown.
\\ liil.- i liege Hi' hai dsoti
was named to SEAC all conference
team at guard at Morris College
where he also played baseball and
basketball.
In addition to coaching experi-
ence in college. Richardson
coached for four years at Corbett
High School in Wagner, S. C.
and served as head coach and
athletic director at Morris.
While at Morris Richardson's
team won the SEAC championship
and compiled a 7-3 record, with a
team which had won only one
game prior to his arrival. His
basketball team was also runner
up in the SEAC's annual tourna-
ment his last season at Morris.
In 1964 Richardson was ap-
pointed head football and basket-
ball coach at SSC where he has
had a rather successful career,
winning the conference champion-
ship this year, being runner ups
last season and winning the SEAC
championship season before last.
In addition to the latter Rich-
ardson was named coach of the
year the same year he won the
basketball crown and this year
after winning the football crown.
Richardson is married to the
former Miss Mary Jan Frierson
of Lynchburg, S. C. and is the
proud father of two lovely chil-
dren, Sandra Jane and Alfred Leo.

center from Alexander Hamilton
in New York, followed In Morris

Return To SSC
In addition to a fine crop of
rookies, the Savannah State Col-
lege basketball learn will have a
host of experienced players re-
turning including two conference
laurel winners.
Spearheading the comebacks
are guards Carl Crump and
Jimmy Westley. with Crump rank-
ing number three in team scoring
last season and being named to
the SEAC all conference team and
Westley their number two scorer
with a 20.3 mark, Westley was
named to the SEAC all tourna-
ment.
Next line is guard Ronald
Booker, who is also a capable
forward. Booker a former cage
star at Beach High has been noted
mostly for his defensive work, but
in practice lately, Coach Leo
Richardson reports that Booker
ha- bet n tl"iii- quite a bit of
shooting and is shaping up real
good offensively.
Walter Fulton, a 6-5 senior who
missed last season will be one of
the key figures in the Tiger's de-
fensive plans as well as offensive
anil thus far Richardson says he
is loking real good and will start
in the opening game against
Benedict.
Another forward. 6-2 junior
Jimmy Butley. is one of many
capable subs last season who did
an excellent job despite averaging
only 4.5 ppg. Against Morris
College Rutley netted 13 points
and scored 17 points against
Clafliu College in the final period.
Two more returnees. Johnny
Abrams and Ezra Gatewood, 6-3
and 6-0. respectively, will add
depth to the squad at forward and
guard and both have ample play-
ing time from last season.
So overall the Tigers have
pleased with the performance
from White and Nichols, and feels
that as the season grows older so host of experience to team up witl
will their experience along with somi
that of the other players

Trojans' O. J. 2nd In Voting
NEW YORK (AP) Gary
Bcban. UCLA's record -setting
querterback. won the Heisman
Trophy, annually awarded to the
outstanding player in college foot-
ball.
Beban was fourth in ihe Heis-
man balloting behind Florida's
Steve Spurrier. Bob Friese of
Purdue and Notre Dame's Nick
Eddy last season as a junior.
He earned the trophy this year
with a spectacular season in which
he gained 1,586 yards in tolal
offense and accounted for 19
touchdowns passing and rushing.
lie finished his carer with 10
UCLA offensive records.
The Bruins h a s struggled
through ihree straight losing sea-
son- before Beban arrived in 1965.
In three years he has piloted
I CLA to 23 victories, five losses
and three ties. UCLA was 7-2-1
this season.
"It is inconceivable that anyone
could be of more value t oa team
than "Beban is to ours," said his
coach, Tommy Prothro. "He can
be a loser for 56 minutes but keep
you poised for the big play that
will make you a winner."
A scrambler, Beban relies on his
ability to run almost as much as
his passing. "I've always admired
scrambling quarterbacks like Fran
Tarkenton," be says. "I think they
are the wave of the future in fool-
ball."
Beban polled 369 first-place
ballots and 1,968 total points to
beat out 0. J. Simpson. Southern
California's dynamic running
back. Beban will receive the Heis-
man Trophy, the 33rd, on Dec.
7 at the Downtown A.C.
Simpson finished witli 261 first-
place voles and 1,722 total poinls.
Simpson, a junior, was the na-
tion's leading rusher.
Leroy Keyes of Purdue, who led
the nation in scoring, finished
third with 278 first-place voles and
1 .366 points.
"I have mixed emotions over
winning." said Beban in a tele-
phone interview. "I'm surprised at
the choice because there were three
fine candidates. Of course, I'm
very grateful,"
Beban said that his joy at
winning the award was tempered
somewhat by UCLA's tough 21-
20 loss to Southern Cal, which
clinched a Rose Bowl berth for
Simpson's Trojans.
"That game was clearly the
climax of three years for all the
seniors on our squad," Beban
said. "We put all we bad into it
but wound up one point short.
We were proud but disappointed."
Beban, Simpson and Keyes
dominated the balloting, with
fourth place going to fullback
Larry Csonka of Syracuse, who
had 136 points.

By Bobb;
Morning News
Savannah State College's head
football roach. Leo Richardson,
announced that former grid and
basketball star Charles Rutland
became the first player in SSC
history to ink a professional foot-
ball contract when he signed with
the Kansas City Chiefs.
Floyd Wells, representing the
Chiefs at the signing, commented.
"Rutland is the best prospect I've
seen all season and is definitely
the finest lineman I've signed
since Macklee Hill, former great
at Southern University."
Floyd went on to say that he
was quite impressed with Rut-
land's size and speed and feels that
he can fit into the Chiefs" lineup
at offensive guard.
During the interview. Rutland.
a former defensive end and tackle
at SSC, with some offensive end
playing time to his credit, was
clocked at 4.9 in the 40-yard dash.
despite not being on the playing
field in over 18 months.
A native of Winter Garden.
Florida. Rutland was a starter at
center for two years of junior
college competition and two years
in basketball for the Tigers. Rut-
land is expected to receive a B.S.
degree in Physical Education this
June just before reporting to
training camp.
i Adams
Correspondent
Richardson commented. "I'm
glad to see Rutland get this oppor-
tunity and I think he'll develop
into a fine player for the Chiefs.
He has good size and excellent
speed for a man his height."
Richardson also commented that
several other athletes at SSC were
being scouted by pro teams, in-
cluding running back Felix Bell,
who stands 5-10 and weighs 205.
'During a couple of games in
Alabama this past season several
scouts talked to me about Felix,
including another fellow from
Kansas and I think there is a
good chance he'll get picked in
the future," the SSC boss said.
Richardson concluded by say-
ing that all conference fullback
Frank Bell (6-0, 210), defensive
halfback Israel Randall and
former Johnson High gridder
Judson Brown (6-3, 2301 are all
good pro prospects.
Rutland expressed thanks to
those who had made this oppor-
tunity possible and commented
that he'll do his best to make the
squad and encourage the recruit-
ing of more players from SSC.
A graduate of Charles R. Drew
High School, Rutland was named
to the District All-Tournament
team his senior year, played in
the SSC starting team in basket-
ball three years and played varsity

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE
INSTRUCTORS AT SSC?
By Bobby Swain Carlyle
More llian three fourths of the
faculty nt SSC are very cruel and
unreasonable with I lie students
thev tear)] daily. I would just like
to know why llie instructors are
this way? Is that a part of being
a college instructor: to be cruel
and unreasonable with the stu-
dents; to refuse to discuss with a
student the reason for giving the
student a D or an F: to refuse
In give the student [lie amount of
class cuts that the college allows
him: to fail a student because lie
disagrees with the instructor in
class and presents his opinion
concerning the matter along with
farts: to threaten a student with
a grade of D or F if the student
does nol iln a particular favor for
the instructor outside class on his
free time.
If a student makes a complaint
against an instructor to the Dean
of Faculty, it is just a waste of
time. The Dean will always agree
with the faculty member and does
not know whether or not the
faculty member or student is
lying. There are many times the
instructor tells lies about the stu-
dent, but the instructor get away
with his dishonesty. The poor stu
dent is never thought of as a
person who can also tell the truth.
I say this from experience because
it happened to me.
1 think it is time we as stu-
dents begin to do something about
this matter. Instructors are not
like this at many other colleges.
Maybe we should all transfer to
some other college and sec what
these crazy instructors at SSC
would do then. After all, we are
the reason for them having a job
at SSC. Without us, the students
at SSC, these inhuman and un-
reasonable instructors would not
be here. It is because of us that
they are able to receive a salary
hen' .il SSI .iii-l still Mm \ treal us
like we are the most stupid group
n| people in this whole world.
Il is impossible for 2.S students
in a class of 35 to fail. Whenever
this does happen, then the in-
structor has not taught, but
merely sat at his desk and acted
as a dictator during the entire
quarter. No. we cannot learn any-
thing under dictatorship form of
leaching: we are too use to our
good old democratic form of doing
things here in America.
Yes, the instructors at SSC are
lot i unfair to the students here
and something has to be done
about this matter soon, if SSC is
going to continue to increase its
student body each new term as
il has done in the past. Otherwise,
the student bodv is going to
gradually decrease in the near
future.
With much hope things will get
better for the students at SSC.
Racism Coming to an End
By Harold Jackson
Learning to accept the Negro as an individual has been a hard
task for the white majority, to give the Negro dignity, to let him be
a part of this country. This is all the Negro is asking for.
The President's Commission for Racial Disorder reported on last
summer's riots to the nation in simple terms that racism, as such, must
come to an end. The real problem is not the Negro rioting, but the
white man's unwillingness to help the Negro needs.
No longer can the white man bribe the Negro with false promises;
no longer can the Negro tolerate injustice. The time to react is now,
not tomorrow. There has been too many tomorrows as far as the Negro
is concerned.
Everything must come to an end sometimes, the death of racism
is long overdue. Rioting as seen by many seems unnecessary and
fruitless. But how can it be when the real cause is always overlooked.
Let's take the Detroit riot for example. The condition of Negroes
living in the gheltoes were substandard: jobs for Negroes almost
inexistant with unemployment among Negroes very high; housing
situation was deplorable; just imagine people in our modern society
living without the bare necessities.
Too many times the so-called pot of plenty has been filled, with
the white man emptying it and leaving the remainder for the Negroes.
Now the situation calls for reconciliation of past feelings toward the
Negro and the acceptance into this society.
This country, founded on Democratic principles, has too long
neglected its responsibility for which it was founded: Equality of all,
regardless of race, creed or color.
If this country is to sustain its basic concept of government, it
can no longer deprive any individual of a chance in this society.
There have been many reactions to the Commission's report. One
such reaction by former Governor Wallace is completely amazing. He
stated in effect that the report should not be accepted as factual, and
he also denied the fact that racism played a leading role in last sum-
mer's disorders. If he had read more, he would have known that the
Commission was right. In his heart he knows they were right anyway.
Looking ahead to the hot summer months, one might predict that
the situation in large cities will be an encore from last summer. That
is, the Negro will not act through peaceful means but through violence
in the streets.
Students React To
Dr. King's Death
A small canvas was taken of
several students as to their re-
actions to Dr. King's death. These
comments were recorded:
Calvin Butts, Sophomore, Bi-
ology major: "I was appalled at
such occurrence in these critical
times."
Gloria Johnson, Sophomore.
Elementary Education major:
"When I heard the news bulletin
about Dr. King, my feelings were
strange. I was shocked, sort of
afraid, and yet I found it hard to
believe."
Diane Childs, Sophomore, Busi-
ness Administration major: "I
thought that it was a tragic event,
but I think that as a result of it,
a lot of progress will be made
within the civil rights movement.
Nevertheless, the guilty person is
not sick, but was well aware of
his act. It was unfortunate that
he died in what he believed, in
our democracy, which gives the
freedom of speech, etc.. to us."
Hilda F. Harvey, Sophomore.
Home Economics major: "When
I liiMid ibiiui I ii . K mi: I i ouldn'l
believe it. It seemed so unreal,
as if I was in a dream world."
Etta E. Anderson, Sophomore.
Elementary Education major: "I
felt that I had lost a member of
my family. My mind was mixed
with all sorts of e motions, sym-
pathy, hate and anger. I felt that
America had lost its greatest
friend as far as peace was con-
cerned."
Maxine Camaroon, Sophomore.
Business Administration major:
"My first thought was that of
disbelief. I didn't believe that any-
one could go to such an extent to
make themselves known as to kill
a man who was a friend to the
world,"
Mary Milam. Sophomore, Eng-
lish major: "I was shocked and
found it hard to believe. I began
to wish that I could have found
him in his office once again as
1 had done many times before."
Sophia Way, Sophomore. Chem-
istry major: "The man might be
dead, but the revolutionary move-
ment for which he lived for will
live forever."
Betty Nickerson, Sophomore.
Business Education major: "I
think it was a terrible tragedy and
that the world suffered a great
loss but the question that's puz-
zling my mind is what will they do
to his assassin, once he's caught,
my heart pours out to his family."
Dr. D. W. Allen

Dr. Dwight W. Allen, Dean of
the School of Education, Univer-
sity of Massachusetts. Amherst.

A Black Day in a Black Life
Upon learning of the death of the great leader of non-violence,
sadness and shock simultaneously set in. The next day the campus was
restless, not to mention the affairs of the previous night. Students were
gathered in front of the College Center. Cars were parked in the streets,
the victory bell toned, the unrest was felt across the azalea laden cam-
pus. Rumore were wild march!! Sing! just what was next, no one
could be sure. I joined a small group of friends and ponderedly, we
advanced toward the milling group. At once the crowd had moved
from the Center to Meldrim Hall, then to Wiley Gymnasium. As we
reached the main entrance of the gym, a quiet fear covered me. I won-
dered, as a group of college students, how radical and drastic could
we be. Was this loud disorganization a way to memorialize such a
great person? After entering the gym, on stage, some of the readily
identifiable militant Black Power advocates, some of the less militant,
the NAACP V.P.. the SGA President, some advocates of the "Black
Culture" movement and some j-u-s-t students were there. Of course.
Dr. Jordan and Dean Kiah were also present.
President Jordan told of class being suspended for the remainder
of the day and the day of Dr. King's funeral. In speaking to the
students. President Jordan reflected great concern as he called for
sound thinking and judgment along planning. "Whatever you do,"
resounded the president, "do it with his (King's) philosophy in mind."
As he walked from the mike, emphatic applause raised from the stu-
dents. Never saying don't to the fairly emotional studentshe under-
stood what we wanted. After him, speakers with different stands
talked to us. In essence. Donald Cook, the first student up, weighed
care for Dr. King with action. "Show concern by going down town to
the court house, to kneel, sing and pray." He called on the students to
lead now. Afterwards Edna Jackson came to the stand and told
students to be representative I dress-wise) of SSC students and organize
for a just cause. "Black Power" brothers and sisters was the opening
unernphatic words of the third unidentified male student. He expressed
concern for female welfare. In case of "trouble" downtown he told
the females that "they would be placed in cars and returned to the cam-
pus.'^ NAACP Vice-President, Charles Gaulden: "Use King's philoso-
phy," don't take any weapons down, violently. At that moment, Donald
Cook injected that if anyone "Hit you kick the hell out of 'em" in
self-defense. Cook said for every driver of a car to be the overseer of
the group that he drove. Well dressed, tall and intellectual-looking.
William F. Julian admonished the crowd to put pride in self and get
identity. "Dr. King had this pride and identity." Julian advised
students not to "Lower yourself to the hounky be better because
BLACK is beautiful." Well received he made room for the next
speaker.
SGA President John E. Lang thought that the movement to take
place downtown was ill-named and it should be called a memorial
march. He alleged that the students didn't have to go to a white man's
power place to memorialize King il could be done on campus, "but."
stated Lang. "If we're to go, go peacefully."
Donald Cook angrily disagreed with Lang and called him a "pup-
pet for the administration." The students disagreed with Cook by-
booing his comments on Lang.
Charles Wilhite, Junior Class President, asked the students to com-
mit themselves as did King and that "More could be done to perpetuate
his memory if we made personal followings." Thundering applause
showed student agreement to Wilhite's short, well-worded message.
An unidentified female student, who seemed highly emotional, asked
the students to listen to Wilhite.
NAACP President. Loretta Stevens, told the students that Gaulden.
NAACP Vice President, took it upon himself to commit the NAACP
in the downtown march and that she was, as President of the organiza-
tion, unaware of the plans for the march. Afterwards, she asked the
students to stick together.
In conclusion. President Jordan said for us to "search your souls
for the answers, do not be blindly led act with conviction and what-
ever you do do so with dignity in a manner representative of the
college. Go in a spirit of reverence and do not allow yourselves to be
swayed by mass hysteria."
Joining in the crowd, I heard mixed feeling concerning the pro-
posed march downtown. Personally, I cared about the upheaval of
unorganization on our campus. Maybe I am not the militant that
many fellow students are but I found this day to be a time for deep
thought before any action a time to reason with one's self to find a
way to gain the Black Pride and dignity that Julian spoke of.
Basically, the students here conducted themselves, with a few
exceptions, in a way superior to many of the other predominantly-
Negro institutions.
'Tis true that a man was killed, not just any man but THE leader
of people who had a dream, a great dream for America and the BLACK
man. He will be missed by all of us, but many of us share his dream
and it is now our dream a dream which I hope to see come true.

duction by NAACP Vice President

attended the World Youth Con-
ference in Japan and lectured in
London. England on Race Rela-
tions. At present he is in the Law
Practice. He received his Law
Degree from Howard University,
class of 1966.
Open with the recitation, I've
Known Rivers, Mr. Hill addressed
the audience in part from the side
of the podium. He told the stu-
dents that he had "Shared our
same experiences as eating the
garbage in ihe dining hall, push-
ing cookies behind Meldrim and
trying to cut assembly." The
speaker from his first word held
the undivided attention of the
audience. In one reference to the
slate of Mississippi he called it
"sissippi because they {Missis-
sippiansl don't call him mister
and he don't call them Miss.
The "Agony of Being Black and
Educated" was Hill's topic. In
opening formally he told the
audience that one has to conceed
blackness and lhat Nat Turner's
mother told him that, "Education
will bring you torment and
agony." He continued by saying
that the growing pain to be edu-
cated and black is the high and
fruslrating price that we pay. Hill
considered it "Lies and garbage
when commencement speakers tell
us lhat now doors of all types will
open up." Hill commented on the
present division among the Negro
race. In that a recent Jet magazine
was making a poll as to what
Negroes preferred being called.
He called this split a fragmenta-
Bioloy Dept.
Holds Seminars
As of March 26, 1968, the
Biology Department of Savannah
Stale began holding seminars in
the interest of that department.
The first seminar was conducted
by Mrs. M. Robinson, a botany
instructor, on the topic: "The
Ocean: Fertile Pastures of To-
morrow." Mr. Bernard Wood-
house, an instructor of biology,
conducted the second seminar,
"Exen fee: Docs it Help to Ward
ofl IU.nl Trouble."
Dr. Villella .a member of the
Department of Biology is respon-
sible for presentation of the third
seminar, which will take place on
the 23 of April. His topic will be:
"The Use of Radiation in
Biology." This topic will provide
a greal deal of interest and in-
formation because many of ils
uses have been recently dis-
covered.
Following Dr. Villella. the last
two seminars will be held on ihe
14 of May. John Mattox will talk
about, "The Effccls of Smoking,"
although this is a broad subject.
Mr. Mattox is going to present
some relatively unknown informa-
tion. Sharon Bryant will discuss,
"The ACTH Molecule" on the
same program. Man has made
much progress in his study of the
molecule because of the invention
of the election microscope. This
discussion will bring a new phase
of knowledge into every mind.
We urge everyone to attend
these lectures; science majors as
well as non-science majors. A
great deal of knowledge may be
obtained from these seminars.

Peaee Corps
Comes To SSC
The students at Savannah Stale
College had a chance to get first-
hand knowledge on the operation
and information of the Peace
Corps when they visited on
April I,
The representatives from the
Corps gave the students a greater
insight into the aspect of the
Corps' activities. They also sought
new applicants fur services into
the Corps.
The Corpsmen discussed the
Corps' idea logy, its organization,
its goals, its accomplishments, and
some of its problems in specific
countries. The activities of the
Corps has greatly enriched the
relationship with those countries
of the world and individuals who
participate. They also explained
the Peace Corps' Iraining program
to students and the relations of the
volunleer to the host country.
The individual representatives
from the Corps gave their views
oti the selection and the Iraining
program as it relates to what is
accomplished.
The students had a chance to
question ihe representatives in the
afternoon session.

"White America," commented
Hill has proven its incompetence
to deal with problems. In that it
has lied in ancient and current
history. He iterated the startling
fact to the audience that Okla-
homa just repealed ils law re-
quiring Negroes to put their heads
in a laughing barrel if they
wanted to laugh in public. (Of
course ihis was not still enforced.)
In reference to poverty he thought
of Wallace. Mattox and Kirk were
worse.
Upon concluding, he received
a grand applause and finally ad-
monished the students to "Love
thyself; not as a Narcissistic com-
plex, but out Blackness."

Tiger's Roar
Monkey On A String, bv Joseph
Viertel.
Joseph Viertel has written a
startling novel that is likely to be
remembered for a variety of rea-
sons. It is the first novel in recent
years to portray the Negro who
attains success in the white world
yet somehow finds, in the end,
that this is not enough, for the
tensions and frustrations that
plagued him on the way up have
merely intensified.
The work is the story of Marcus
Gravey Holmes who was born in a
home in the South and grew up in
a Negro ghetto in a New England
village. He managed to achieve
an appointment lo West Point,
served with distinction as an
officer in the Korean War. and
joined the State Department.
where he eventually ended up as
Ambassador to one of the newly
emerging African nations. Mean-
while he has married Robbi. his
white high school sweetheart, and
seemingly has the best of two
worlds but before long Marcus
begins to suspect that he is really
accepted by neither, that whites
patronize him because of his
position and most Negroes feel
that he has sold out to the white
world in order to attain it. Even
his wife, loving but extremely
neurotic, does give him a lovely
daughter who loves him truly,
often acts in such a highly
irrational manner that Marcus
comes to believe that she too
considers herself superior to him.
He finally kills her and the act is
settled as suicide, because she was
known to be self-destructive and
had been twice under psychiatric
treatment. In the end his world
topples around him and leaves
him living in involuntary exile.
In the huge 414 page hardback
novel. Mr. Viertel proves that he
is one of the finest story tellers.
for Money On A String covers a
vast canvas brillantlv. both in
time and geographical space, and
i- peopled by a dazzling variety
of characters, both Negro and
white.

BACC Organized
On Campus
By Ben Harris
Minister of Letters
A new and profound organi-
zation has been formed at SSC.
This organization has become
widely known, not only on cam-
pus, but throughout the city of
Savannah, it is none other than
the Black Awareness Coordinat-
ing Committee. It was organized
in early March of this year by
eight sincere students who wished
to identify with the 'forgotten'
heritage and culture. Since that
time the membership has in-
creased to twenty-six.
The purpose of BACC is to
have Black People redefine them-
selves with blackness I for if a
flower is deprived of its nature,
it will soon perish), and at the
same time influence fellow black
students to become aware that
we are all black, there is no in-
dividualism; that we must see
black as it is Beautiful and
Victorious.
To rebel against a racist insti-
tution does not mean that the re-
beller is a racist las racism in
reverse). It does mean, however,
that here in America the "vault"
shall no longer be the only mode
of liberation of black people from
the shackles of oppression. We
perceive that a spectre is haunt-
ing America.
The officers are: Ronald Clark,
chairman: Benjamin Harris, min-
ister of letters: Leroy Haven,
minister of public relations;

fense; William P. Julian III. min-

ture; and Ben White, minister

of having scholnslicnlly a n d

the query so scathing]) pro-
pounded in the April issue of
Tiger's Roar.
Like any other student pursuing

adjectives entirely differenl from those blatantl) sel forth
under discussion. Wliat impressed me most at the oulscl
larit) .md punctuality with which the Instructors perforn
iiVmic duties, particularly on those debilitating flog days of Jul
day-to-day devotion to service was an impetus i<> me not to ui il
student privileges of "taking cuts." The onlj harvest reaped b
iii- i- ,ni accumulation of poor grades the natural consequence of
not haying been physical!) and mentally present when the erudition
was being offered !
Human wise I have observed the idiosyncrasies, the foibles, the
shortcomings of the Instructors here but. truthfully, intended malice
is a thing I have nol witnessed. The firmest, yet the kindest person.
I know is one of our revered Professors at Savannah Stale College.
The respect shown by this Professor for the individual, especially his
beneficial attention to the indigent student, favorably contributes to-
wards unforgetable memories of SSC.
In the more exclusive Universities of former days, scorn for any-
thing coming from the lips or pen of an undergraduate, seemed to be
the style anion- those who had achieved the laurels of the utmost rung
ol the academic ladder, Dr. Samuel Johnson, the renowned British
lexicographer felt more indebted towards those Instructors who led
him to where knowledge was than to those who prodigiously shared
tb.ir ..wn acquisitions. Personally I too like to think of the libr
as the poor man's university.
Honored and onerous as a Dean's task is. there are I am sure.
days when his job is the most unenviable on campus. How can one
uphold faculty ethics, maintain academic protocol, arbitrate between
Instructor and student, without making someone feel that temporarily.
at least, he is the injured party. Naturally the Dean'- rebuke to the
Instructor will take place when the student has withdrawn from the
scene. From our childhood days have we not been familiar with the
adage, "You can't please everybody"?
Be that as ii ma y, I still have faith in the faculty members and
Student bod) of Savannah Stale. As this is the last time I exercise im
student right of contributing to the editorial page of Tiger's Roar.
I avail myself of the opportunity to express my gratitude to the Ad-
ministration, the Faculty, the Students, to each and all who have in
any waj served me during the past two years.
To Savannah State's arboreal banks ! bequeath an faith my
hope, my thank-..

When asking this question to
main students, these were the va-
rious answers.
In the wake of the death of
peace martyr Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.. do you believe that
there "ill be much rioting this
s u m m e r ? If so, state your
thoughts as to what it will even-
tually lead to.
Arliska Dunnom, Sophomore
"Yes. I believe that the death of
Dr. King will trigger many riots
during the summer. 1 believe that
the riots eventual!) will only lead
to a war between black and white
Americans. If riots continue.
America will soon be destroyed."
David Goings, Junior "I feel
thai Dr. King's death will not be
the cause of riots this summer.
Failure to meet Negro demands of
equal opportunities will serve as
the trigger for summer riots."
Martha Butts, Junior "Yes. I
think that much rioting will be
done and will ultimately lead to
death."
Shirley McCray, Freshman
"No, I don't feel as if Dr. King's
death will cause rioting. I feel
that most people in slum areas un-
derstand his philosophy of peace,
more now than before his death."
Ronald Ruers, Freshman
"This was a great loss to the black
people of America, and this is go-
ing to cause a great amount of
trouble in my home. Newark.
Black people in Newark are very
upset."
Beverly Hunter, Freshman
"Dr. King's death was indeed
tragic, it left the Negroes with the
feeling that we must keep on
pushing. The motives for the
summer riots (if there are any).
may directly or indirectly relate
to Dr. King's death. In any event,
the United States is in for a long
HOT summer."
Isoiene Cooper, Freshman
"Yes. I think Dr. King's death wi|]
lead to rioting this summer. Be-
cause whites don't want to accept
our non-violent ways. I think the
after effects will be more severe
than the past effects have been
previously. Major riots could re-
sult because the nonviolent meth-
od- brought Dr. King a violent
death, therefore many people no
longer believe in the non-violent
method."
Bessie Thomas, Freshman "I
don't believe so because Dr. King's
philosophy of non-violence had
played out long ago. Most urban
Negroes have turned to the mili-
tant leaders. The riots which are
m\ itable won't be caused by peo-
ple who still believe in non-
violence. The results will be much
more deaths."
The last statement by Larry Al-
len sums it up simply :
Robert Larry Alien, Freshman
"Yes, probably a lot of huskie
funerals."

Summer Institute In Chemistry
A summer institute for junior and senior high school teai
be sponsored by the National Science Foundation from June 1(
August 2. l%f!. The institute, which is the second of its kind, will be
supervised by Dr. Willie G. Tucker.
The objectives of the institute are:
1. To offer the teacher with a very weak background in chemistry
an opportunity to increase his knowledge of the subject matter.
2. To help fill out a void in the teacher's background in subject
matter so that he may be motivated enough to eventually begin an
advanced study in the field of chemistry rather than the traditional
education courses.
3. To increase the teacher's capacity to motivate students into
science careers,
4. To create in the teacher a greater awareness of anil appret iation
for the work of prominent scientists.
The participants will not be charged any fees or tuition, but he
must pay for his housing, meals, books and other personal expenses.
However, a limited utimbei of stipends are given in the amount ol ST.-i
a week with an additional allowance of $15 for each dependent up to
a maximum of four.

We feel that lids "college," a,
a whole, is not emphasizing the
golden past of the black man in
America and in Africa. Therefore,
ibis organization was formed with
the goal of replacing ibis apathy
with a constructive program that
will revolutionize the plight ol
our people.
The festival was charai tei ized
by lectures, talk-ins. black poetry,
black an exhibits, and black
entertainers.
Your presence at \\xU occasion
in rememberancc of our great
brother. Malcolm \. represented
your concern for "Uhuru" through

and self defense.
Your presence also signified
that Savannah Stale College is
increasingly moving toward the
trend of most black institutions
around this country.
The great black poet. Claude

let it not be like hogs / Hunted
ami penned in an inglorious spot,
... If we must die, let us
nobly die. So that our precious

Anon.
Well, anyone who spells like that should remain anonymous, How-
ever, further down in this column we'll direct our attention to F.
Scott Fitzgerald and there's a guy who knew a thing or two about
words. But first, now that Summer is indeed a-comin', let's look at
some new trends in men's fashions. The strong influence of the
Thirties continues to be very important, Consider, for instance:
THE TANK TOP, an integral part of the two-
piece bathing suit, brought up to date from the
Thirties. This form-fitting athletic shirt now
serves fashion rather than function, and comes
in vivid colored horizontal stripes of nylon,
lycra and cotton. Stretch fabrics eliminate the
baggy look and set off a well-tanned, good pair
of shoulders much better than the conventional
T-shirt. It can be worn with regular swim suits
or beach pants, and looks particularly right teamed with mid
belted trunks. Or if this sounds too conservative, try . . .

Greenbrier Orphan Home Dr. C. A. Braithwaite directs the Choral Society as they perform for
the local orphanage. He is accompanied by Patricia A. Mobley.
TRIMMED-DOWN TRUNKS that continue the trend toward brev-
ity in beachwear. These are not repeat, not a type of Bikini. The
look is very masculine: squared-off with straight legs and slung
low on the hips. Fabrics range from poplins and linen weaves to
stretch action weaves. Colors are conventional solid tones no
zebra stripes or phosphorescent purples, thank you! For those in
search of beachwear bizarre, there are . . ,
"GRANDDADDY NIGHTSHIRTS"- outrage-
ously patterned versions of bedtime wear 30-
odd years ago. But now they've moved from
bedroom to beach and may be worn equally well
by boys and girls alike. The colors are psyche-
delic and the patterns zing out in bull's-eye dots
and giant stripes, Not for the faint-hearted,
these nightshirts will be the "put-on" of the
Summer.
THE LIGHT TOUCH of color is the news in suits this Summer. If
you're toiling for tuition instead of basking on the beach, don't
think you're stuck with navy blue and banker's grey. A whole
color spectrum of lighter, paler shades will be at your disposal.
With these we suggest the dark tone shirts for contrast. And
carrying lighter shades to the nth degree, we
have , . .
THE WHITE SUIT! F. Scott Fitzgerald glorified
this fashion in "The Great Gatsby" but in
those days his suffering anti-hero sweltered out
the Summer in white flannel. Now we have
twills of polyester and viscose blends, linens and
very lightweight textured wool to help you to
keep your cool. The fabrics are easy to care for
and will keep crisp and comfortable through
repeated wearings. Expect to see the white suit
everywhere from country clubs to business
offices, from Malibu to Madison Avenue.
SO GET CRACKING on those finals and build up the grade point.
Then you can phase into Summer free and easy, ready to cool it
with these fashion ideas. Have a ball see you next Fall.

FROM THE HALLS OF PROTOZOA
This column, normally a treasure house of twinkly quips
and slapdash japery, has now been appearing in your
campus newspaper for fourteen years, and if I have
learned one thing in these fourteen long years, it is not to
try to be funny in the last column of the semester. With
final exams looming obscenely close, you don't want jokes;
you want help.
So today, foregoing levity, I give you a quick cram
course in the subject you are all flunking. I refer, of
course, to biology.
Biology is divided into several phylla, or classes. First
is the protozoa, or one-celled animal. Protozoa can be
taught simple things like bringing in the newspaper, but
when shopping for pets it is best to look for animals with
at least two cells, or even four if your yard has a fence
around it.
Another popular class of animals is the periphera-a
shadowy category that borders often on the vegetable.
Take, for example, the sponge. The sponge is definitely an
animal. The wash-cloth, on the other band, is definitely not.
Next we come to the arthropoda, or insects. Most people
find insects unattractive, but actually there is exquisite
beauty in the insect world if you trouble to look. Take, for
instance, the lovely insect poems of William Culler]
Signfoos-Tuni bliny Along with the Tumbling Tumblebug
and Fly Gently, Sweet Aphid and Gnats My Mother
Caught Me. Mr. Sigafoos, alas, has been inactive since the
invention of DDT.
Our next category is the mollusca-lobsters, shrimp, and
the like. Lobsters are generally found under rocky projec-
tions on the ocean bottom. Shrimps are generally found in
a circle around a small bowl containing cocktail sauce.
Person na Super Stainless Steel Blades are generally
found at any counter where Personna Super Stainless
Steel Blades are sold.
I mention Personna Blades because the makers of Per-
sonna Blades pay me to write this column, and they are
inclined to get edgy if I neglect to mention their product.
Some get double edgy and some single, for Personna
Blades come both in double edge style and Injector style.
Mind you, it is no burden for me to mention Personna,
for it is a blade that shaves quickly and cleanly, slickly and
keenly, scratchlessly and matchlessly.lt is a distinct pleas-
ure to shave with Personna Blades and to write about
them but sometimes, I confess, I find it difficult to work
the commercial into a column. Some years ago, for ex-
ample. I had the devil's own time working a Personna plug
into a column about Alexander the Great. The way I finally
managed it was to have Alexander say to the Oracle at
Delphi, "Oracle, I have tasted all the world's pleasures,
yet I am not content. Somehow I know there is a joy I have
missed." To which the Oracle replied, "Yes, Alexander,
there is such a joy namely Personna Blades but, alas for
you, they will not be invented for another 2500 years."
Whereupon Alexander fell into such a fit of weeping that
Zeus finally took pity and turned him into a hydrant . . .
Well sir, there is no question I sold a lot of Personnas with
this ingenious commercial, but the gang down at the
American Academy of Arts and Letters gave me a mighty
good razzing, you may be sure.
But I digress. Back to biology and the most advanced
phyllum of all the chordata, or vertebrates. There are
two kinds of vertebrates: those with vertical backbones
and those with horizontal. Generally it is easy to tell them
apart. A fish, for instance, has a horizontal backbone, and
a man has a vertical backbone. But what if you run into
a fish that swims upright or a man who never gets out of
the sack? How do you tell them apart? Science struggled
with this sticky question for years before Sigafoos of
M.I.T. came up with his brilliant solution : offer the crea-
ture a pack of Personna Blades. If it is a fish, it will refuse.
If it is homo sapiens, it will accept-and the more sapient,
the quicker.
And now you know biology. And now, for the fourteenth
time, aloha.
* * * I9. Mb. Shulman
The makers of Personna, Tito Electro-Coated blade,
have enjoyed bringing you another year of Old Max,
From us loo, aloha.

B) Students in Ipward Bound Project
June 18, 1968 was the begin-
ning of an exciting experience for
students yvho are participating in
the Upward Bound Project at Sa-
vannah State College. The basic
objective of this project is to
reach each student's basic needs
according to the time and facilities
permitted.
There are about 120 Upward
Bound Students yvho were chosen
from Chatham and other sur-
rounding counties. There have
been many activities planned to
keep the students busy after class.
Some of these extra-curricular ac-
tivities are: art, creative drama,
computer programming, current
events, typing, and a physical fit-
ness program. Upcoming events
which they will enjoy are the
movies, talent contests, musical
productions and dances. Field
trips and tours have been planned
to Kennedy Space Center, historic
Savannah, Local Industries, and
the Beach.
The Upward Bound Project of
Savannah is being directed by-
Mrs. Martha Wilson, an SSC fac-
ulty member. She is being assisted
by Mr. Daniel Wright, guidance
counselor for this project. The
Faculty and Staff for the project
are: Communication Skills: Rob-
ert Holt, Virginia Hudson, Abide

Upward Bounders receive no
grades, since the emphasis of the
project is an unrestricted instruc-
tion with the over-all view of the
student in mind.
There are over 250 other such
projects and programs in the
United States. The success of this
project will depend upon the abil-
ity of the instructor, who should
be able to create an atmosphere
which will point up the potential
strength of each student. August

What Graduate Studies Mean to Me
By Gloria S. Brown
To me, graduate studies mean
an avenue of new ideas and atti-
ludes. In the era in which we are
now living, I feel it is particularly
important for an individual to be
as well trained as humanly pos-
sible. I think by placing the grad-
uate >iinlii-s prugram in our local
college here at Savannah State,
this can be partially realized.
1 fed the more trained 1 become,
the more cognizant I become of
oilier persons around me. I be-
come less self-centered and more
interested in understanding and
helping other persons.
I sincerely believe that this pro-
gram will help me become more
proficient in the field of education.
I feel it will do this by developing
within me an awareness of some
of the newest trends and tech-
niques in this area.
It is making me more interested
in doing research to investigate
some of the latest theories of edu-
cation. In addition to this, it is
helping me to become more aware
of myself as a person who can
make a distinct contribution to the
society in which I live.
Since service to mankind is my
greatest ambition, I sincerely hope
that after 1 have completed my
studies, and 1 do want to complete
them, I will be a better person. I
think of all the attributes I might
gain, this will be the one 1 will
cherish most.
A Philosophy of Life
By Delores Murray
Philosophy of life has reference
to one's outlook upon the world,
his interpretation of the meaning
of the world in which he lives and
Ins relationship to it. This outlook
is determined by his beliefs, views,
altitudes, and understandings."
Main college students of today
are not aware that they have a
philosophy of life. They are un-
aware of the things that constitute
a philosophy: they are unaware of
the things that are influenced by
philosophy: and most of all, they
are unaware of the fact that phi-
losophy plays an important role in
determining the kind of person
thai each of us is.
Although it is true that many
college students are not sure of
their philosophies of life, none of
them can be said to have no phi-
losophy at all. Everyone inevi-
tably develops some sort of philos-
ophy, whether sound or unsound.
1 personally feel that if a col-
lege student does not know his
philosophy of life, there is no bet-
ter time than the present to begin
thinking about one. Deciding
upon a philosophy is not a very
difficult task. All it requires is
time to think, which really
shouldn't be too difficult since the
purpose of college training is to
develop the ability to think
soundly.
A person's philosophy plays a
very important role in determining
D. MURRAY
his set of values those things that
be considers worthwhile or cher-
ished in life,
Philosophy, more than any other
force, influences choices and de-
cisions that guide our behavior. If
the philosophy is sound, the
choices and decisions are apt to
be sound. If the philosophy is un-
sound, then the choices and deci-
sions are unsound. A sound phi-
losophy can only lead to worthy
and rewarding goals in life.

Upward Bounders
Express Opinions
Once again it is summer, and
once again the Upward Bounders
return to SSC.
In a recent survey, by staff
member Delores Murray, the ques-
tion was asked, "What do you ex-
pect to gain from attending sum-
mer school as an Upward Bound
student? 1 " The responses went
something like this:
"It will help to strengthen and
prepare me for challenges that I
will have to face when I enter col-
lege." Lor nine Elleby.
"It will help to make me a more
well-rounded individual." Evon
Holm es.
"It will hel [> preepare me for
college and it wilt also help me to
gain educational and cultural
things that Pve been deprived of."
Earl Shinkoster.
"It is giving me an opportunity
to find out what it is like to be on
my own, and it is helping to pre-
pare me for college." Lillie Sim-
mons.
"Upward Bound is an exciting
experience that helps me socially
and mentally. It will aid in getting
me prepared for college." Ezelle
Manning.
"It benefits me educationally, it
broadens my social life, and it will
enable me to adjust to college
life." Larry Broxton.
"It is giving me a head start in
preparing for college. It also gives
me a view of dormitory life."
Janice Walker.
"It will help prepare me for
college life by aiding me to ac-
quire more knowledge and under-
standing." Johnnie Robinson.
"It will prepare me for the com-
ing school year and it will teach
me to be more independent."
Sherrill Cusperi.
"Upward Bound has given me a
new insight of college life, differ-
ent people and their personalities,
and the w : orld around me. It gives
me a feeling of independence and
self-preservation." Brenda Biz-
zard.
"Upward Bound helps to
strengthen you to pursue a more
profound education. It helps to
rid our faults." Lawrence E.
Wiggins.
"It helps to orientate you to col-
lege society. It also shows prox-
imity to college life and the out-
side world." W. W. Walker.
"Upward Bound ht?lps me to bet-
ter understand my work in high
school. It also serves to help pre-
pare me for college work." Judy
Miliovich.
"It has inspired me to continue
my education. It has certainly
created a college atmosphere."
Ronnie Caski'n.
My Opinion of the
Graduate Program
By Janice Perry Watkins
Brunswick
The addition of a graduate pro-
gram at Savannah State College is
a great asset. I am especially ap-
preciative of it because it meets a
great need for southeast Georgians.
I feel very privileged to take ad-
vantage of such a program in its
early stage of development. I sin-
cerely believe that this new divi-
sion here in Savannah will up-
grade the educational level for a
majority of the teachers in this
section of our state.
I am thoroughly enjoying my
classes which are under the direc-
tion of well-prepared, stimulating,
dynamic instructors. I am very
grateful to be able to study near
my home and family.
I personally am looking forward
to the time when other significant
departments will be added to the
program and hope that these fea-
tures will be initiated in the near
future.

MADDOX BLUE OVER "A PATCH OF BLUE"
Recently Georgia's Governor Lester Maddox commented that the
novel, A Patch of Blue, was "vulgar, ugly and dirty." This comment
was in reality a public complaint. The complaint was brought about
as a result of the required reading of it by a tenth grade English class.
What the governor failed to foresee was that the already widely
read book would sell even better as a direct result of his comments.
Although he had read, said Maddox, only a part of the book, he com-
mented that it was dirty. I wonder about the comments of the new
readers, which will probably be something like. "Where's the dirtiness
about which the governor spoke?"
The book, to those who are unfamiliar, is concerning the friendship
of a Negro male and a blind white girl. The novel was made into a
movie of the same title, and a photograph taken from the movie is on
the cover, showing the stars of the film, Sidney Poitier and Elizabeth
Hartman.
My point about the situation is that the total integration of the
novel should not, by a sound thinking person be considered vulgar,
nasty or the like. Probably if the book would have been of the type
to have degraded the Negro, such as the short story, "The Artificle
Nigger," which was written by a Georgian, the governor would have
said nothing of it being read by a high school class. The fact is that
the governor isn't knowledgable about the book's entirety.
This incident brings to mind the high degree of hasty and fault)
comments which are so common to man. Why speak in hasten there's
always time: time to reason, time to wonder and TIME TO BE
OBJECTIVE! ! ! Barbara J. Mobley
Formation of Negro Press Announced
Negro Universities Press an-
nounces its formation as a com-
plete, professional publishing or-
ganization. Its main purpose is to
develop, acquire, and publish orig-
inal books written by scholars and
specialists, affiliated with the more
than one hundred American col-
leges and universities that have
predominantly Negro student
bodies. In addition, NUP will
publish a wide range of facsimile
reprints of highly significant
books land periodicals) related to
Negro history and culture. This
reprint program is entitled, "The
Black Experience in America." Its
first list of titles mainly concerns
slavery in America.
NUP will focus its original pub-
lishing activities on manuscripts
of a scholarly or professional na-
ture, largely but not exclusively
monographs, dissertations, and up-
per-division texts, in all fields of
general academic and intellectual
interest. Books on and about the
Negro are of special concern to
the Press. Because of NUP's pri-
mary objective to serve as an
easily accessible publishing me-
dium for prospective writers in
American Negro colleges to so-
licit manuscripts from this general
source, and seek in every way to
encourage the preparation of pub-
lishable manuscripts by scholars
and students in these institutions.
Negro Universities Press is not
exclusively associated with any
single academic institution. Rather,
as reflected by the membership of
its Board of Publications, and by
the affiliations of its published
authors, the Press seeks to serve
all o fthe Negro colleges equally.
Upon acceptance of his manu-
script for publication by NUP, an
author will be offered a regular
publishing contract. NUP will
compete equally and without spe-
cial favor or privilege with other
publisbing bouses academic as
well as commercial for the op-
portunity to publish any given
manuscript. No prospective au-
thor will ever be expected to sub-
sidize NUP publication of his
book.
The Board of Publications of
Negro Universities Press now in-
cludes: Felton G. Clark, President,
Southern University; Hugh N.
Gloster, President, Morehouse Col-
lege: Vivian W. Henderson, Presi-
dent, Clark College; Miles M.

SSC Coed to
Begin Training as
Airline Stewardess
A Savannah State College coed,
Marcia O'Brien, was recently ac-
cepted as an Airline stewardess
trainee in an interview conducted
in Atlanta, Georgia by a United
Airline representative.
She is expected to begin train-
ing in September after hopefully
completing her educational re-
quirements for a Bachelor Degree
in August. The training program
will last for five and one-half
weeks.
Miss O'Brien is a sociology ma-
jor at SSC and a graduate of Sol
C. Johnson High School and a
transfer student from Clarke Col-
lege of Atlanta.
"The stewardesses are selected
on their intellectual ability, per-
sonality and over-all general ap-
pearance,'" Miss O'Brien com-
mented.
She is vice-president of her
graduating class and when asked
about being accepted as a trainee
had this to say: "I always wanted
to become a stewardess because I
like traveling and being around
and meeting people. This has also
been my ambition since my early
vears in college. This type of ex-
perience will he rewarding in that
it will help me in my understand-
ing of people which will later be
important in my future as a soci-
ologist."

Llniversitv of
Georgia Holds
Session at SSC
A Reunion and Review Session
of the 1967 Community Develop-

Leadership Conference, and the
1968 Race Relations Conference
was held on Wednesday, June 26
at Savannah State College. The

versity of Georgia in conjunction
with Savannah State College. John
M. Smith, Jr.. Assistant Professor,
Sociology, Augusta College, Au-
gusta, Ga., directed the session.
Wilton C. Scott, Acting Coordi-
nator of Continuing Education.
Savannah Slate College, was As-
sistant Director. James E. Watson,
Consultant in Community Devel-
opment, Georgia Center for Con-
tinuing Education, University of
Georgia, also attended the session.
The highlight of the session was
the discussion of the problems of
the Tatumville area. This report
involved a series of long-range
problems, which the lack of knowl-
edge of what to do about them,
and where to go for help prevented
the residents of this community
from doing anything about them.
Some of the problems which
prevailed in the communitv were:
lack of playground area; poor
street lighting; lack of water and
sewage disposal; garbage being
dumped in the community; and
an overgrown area near the school.
Of these, a lack of water and
sewage disposal took precedence.
For water, some of the residents
used pressure pumps and others
used electric pumps.
However, after a group of the
residents of this community took
a course in Community Develop-
ment, sponsored by the University
of Georgia, at Savannah State
College, they found the answer to
the question of bow to secure help
in solving some of their problems
and other useful information.
After the signing of a petition
by trie residents of Tatumville. nu-
merous talks with members of the
City government, and a wide va-
riety of coverage by the mass
media, some improvements have
been made to help the residents
of the Tatumville area. Some of
The Death of a header
By Verdell L. Miller
Shot down by an assassin's bullet.
Was Dr. Martin Luther King,
Nothing but peace and joy
To the world did he bring.
His philosophy is one of non-vio-
lence and peace;
Although the tragedy bears on,
The night of the fourth leaves us
To bear mournful grief.
Oh how we miss you. Dr. Martin
Luther King:
And you are sadly missed.
But we will bold your philosophy.
On faith and trust amidst.
Your voice still rings out,
Over the whole wide world,
For you are a symbol of dignity
and peace.
A symbol of pride and identity,
Of what the Negroes stand for;
All of their struggles for full rights
as human beings.
Throughout the whole wide world.
Oh how we loved you. Dr. Martin
Luther King,
For the sound of that assassin's
bullet still rings out;
But the sound of your voice
Rings out even louder without a
shout.
Oh how we love you, Dr. Martin
Luther King,
For your magic shall never be
marred or shaded out;
You have given us something to
live by.
You gave your life for us,
Just as Jesus gave His life for His

A Great Man
By Julia Thomas
Doctor Martin Luther King was
very bright.
Improving this world was his only
fight.
lie had a purpose in his mind.
After his death the world was
blind.
He strived for goals and be strived
for deeds,
He strived for what this whole
world needs.
He traveled far and be traveled
near,
To hamlets and cities without a
fear.
Yes, a great man was Doctor King,
Advocating freedom's ring.
Now that his work on earth is
done,
And bis greatest victory is won.
For he has passed his greatest test.
And now has gone to God for rest.
Ill a praying moment let us pause
And resume the work for the
cause.
Secret Sounds
By Dr. Charles Pratt
If I had never written one line
I still could write tonight
Because the beauty on my mind
Brings you right into sight.
The thoughts 1 have of you, my
dear
Make every man a poet
But the heart beat which I bear
Is crime in any court.
1 see your face, 1 hear your voice,
And these stay with me so
That even if I had a choice
I'd choose this way to go.
Each beat is like a liberty bell
Sounding for the cursed
And tbo each brings me close to
hell
I must pass Heaven first.

ing of the vacant lot near the
school, streets have been opened,
and all old automobiles have been
removed from the area. However,
there are still many improvements
to be made.

As 1 sit and gaze upon your face
And wish that you were here
This is such a lonely place
But the end is getting near.
I look at you and then 1 know
What woman was meant to be
For in your eyes there burns a
glow
For all eternity.
1 hope you will forgive me. dear.
If I seem terribly gone . . .
For though I'm stranded way out
here
I don't feel quite alone!
I feel your thoughts are with me
now
And though I have no right,
ni always seek your love, some-
how
To make my living bright.
I'm reading your last letter,
You may not think it much
But 1 have none that's better
And so I cling to such.

This community was in need of a
recreation center, uniforms for its
baseball team, and other facilities
to curtail the crime rale in this
community. It was stated that
money for these facilities was ap-
propriated in the city's 1968
budget. However, this community
has not received any help from the
city at all.
THE TIGER'S ROAR
June -Jul). 1968
Workshop
Materials Un
Twenly-eight elementary and
secondary school teachers from
ihroughout Georgia arc enrolled in
a workshop in methods and mate-
rials currently in session al Sa-
vannah Stale College, The one ex-
ception is a nursery school teacher
from New York City.
The six-week session is designed
to help teachers improve their
leaching skills through workshop
activities. Heavy emphasis is
placed on self-direction as indi-
viduals and as a group in the
identification and exploration of
problems faced by members of the
teaching profession in general and
the workshop in particular.
Just how this is done or is to
be done is a matter lefl up to the
teachers themselves. In fuel, this
problem itself was one of the first
with which the teacher-scholars
found themselves faced.
Tr a d i t i o n a 1 1 y , however, the
workshop utilizes such activities as
informal discussion and debate,
experimentation with Inboralory
school t-iasses, audio-visual mate-
rials, and the study and analysis
of the views and opinions on edu-
cational topics us put forth by
consultants who visit the workshop
during the summer.
Earl) in the session, an organi-
zational session was held during
which the following persons were
selected as officers:

A breakdown of the enrollment
according to present and antici-
pated areas of employment shows
that a large majority of the par-
ticipants are elementary school
teachers. Ten instruct at the sec-
ondary level, and one person is
involved in teaching at the pre-
school level.

BACC An Interview
Staff member Sandra Bland re-
cently interviewed BACC member
Franklin Butler. The informal dis-
cussion brought out the results of
the May Black Aits Festival, its
purpose and the general plan of
action for his organization. In
essence these results are now pre-
sented to you.
The purpose of the festival was
to establish a base for a new re-
vival of BLACKNESS; BACC
feels that a black institution has
a basic requirement to follow in
relation to its black student body,
which is a black education. If the
black student, said Butler, takes it
upon himself to educate himself
concerning blackness, then we
assume that the black instructors
would be awakened to this need.
When asked the main objectives
ol the festival. Butler commented.
"There are three: self- identity
self - determination, self - defense."
In detail, he discussed each of
them.
1. Self-identity is to reunite
black Americans with their
African heritage, which was
violently stripped from him by
the slavery institution.
2. Self-determination To have
the black man to define their own
organization and business. It is a
call to reject the racist institution
of society.
3. Self-defense To protect and
defend black manhood. Black
people were stripped of their
identity and self respect, therefore
a need is present for defense
against racist values and insti-
tutions.
Q- Under self-identity what
means do your organization plan
in prompting or bringing about
awareness concerning our herit-
age?
A. (1) We have a weekly
publication entitled BLACK
PAPER. (2) We hold black work-
shops every Wednesday. (3) Di-
rect confrontation with black stu-
dents on their values.
Q.- Does your organization
help one discover or dig into our
ancestrial heritage through use of
African names?
A. The answer to your ques-
tion is very obvious. Prior to
1610, one characteristic of African
life was devotion to the family be-
cause of its social, political and
cultural heritage. With the coming
of the white European and his de-
humanizing slave trade, again. I
point out that Africans were
stripped of his cultural identity
(his family, his custom ami an)
other capability or habit acquired
by the black man as a member of
an African society). With this, his
ancestrial background is im-
|i 1 1 I . in ii.ii i'.
(). What determination does
your organization support in order
to reach the black man's goals?
A. Only through unity and
brotherhood can the black Ameri-
can determine his destiny.
Q. How can we achieve unity?
A. The basic split now in the
black community is due mostly to
the fact that some black (mostly
middle class and light skinned
ones) are to be white and re-
jecting the idea that whites were
oppressing them. But now more
and more blacks are becoming
aware that they are indeed the
victims of oppression. More and
more blacks are becoming aware
uf their black heritage and are
gaining a sense of black stride.
They are indeed uniting with their
lesser brothers to overthrow the
power structure in America. In
other words oppression breeds
unity.
Q. In your definition of self-
defense, what ideas and action of
protection does BACC advocate?

being gained of instrumental ion
and analytical techniques while
applying the method of thin-layer
chromatography to the separation
of phospholipids and neutral lip-
ids. What is the thin-layer chro-
matography and why use it?
Thin -layer chromatography
(TLC) is a technique for separat-
ing mixtures of closely related
compounds. It offers three major
advantages over paper chromatog-
raphy, It has great speed, high
sensitivity and versatility.
TLC is performed on open lay-
ers of adsorbent material applied
as a uniform layer on a support-
ing medium which is usually a
glass plate. The plate is thor-
oughly dried and the sample ma-
terial is applied usually by pipet.
The separation is dependent upon
the ratio of solubility and adsorp-
tion of the various substances in
the mixture. Whereas, adsorption
is the attachment of gas, liquids
or dissolved substances on the sur-
faces of solids. A solvent carrying
the mixture to be separated is
made to travel over the adsorbent
by capillary action. The speed of
this action is one of the character-
istics of this technique.
Separations are usually finished
in ten to forty minutes, depending
upon the adsorbent, sample com-
plexity and choice of solvent. Even

Quaker Peace
Group Visits SSC
On July 18, two students from
the Quakers' Peace Mission visited
SSC's campus. The iwo members
of the mission who visited SSC
were: Beth Turner and Stephen
Mbandi. Mbandi is a native of
Camaroon, who has been in the
United States for some time. The
other members of the group, who
were visiting elsewhere in the city
were: Bob Hunter, Ann Adle and
Ida Goodwin.
In a question-answer session in
Payne Hall at 2:30 that afternoon,
Beth and Stephen addressed them-
selves to several questions, among
them:
Q. What was the varying atti-
tudes of students, who you've come
in contact with?
A. Turner We've found quite
a few conservatives and some
liberals.
Mbandi I've met some aloof
and sympcthie people. There has
been a great bit of diversity of
opinion as far as the war in Viet
Nam. Opinion in general is very
wide ranged.
Q. (To Mbandi) Have you
had any feeling of rejection among
blacks?
A. Yes, but not too much. I
met some Nigerian student-- al
Paine College in Augusta and they
related segregation among black
students al that school. But I'd
been warned by other Negro
friends abroad of the attitude of
American Negroes.
Concerning the status of women
in C a in a r o o n , M b a n d i related
that they are not completely sub-
ordinated hi that society. How-
ever, I he male has a feeling of
self-responsibility for his family;
a strong feeling of the role as
bread-winner. Employment wise,
the governmenl, said Mbandi, has
equality laws of labor.
Belh on the Far East situation
commented that there should be
negotiations before getting out.
And through stopping of the
bombing and negotiations, a com-
plete withdrawal should become
permanent. In answer lo another
question, she also said that the
United Stales is responsible for
rebuilding that country and the
funds for doing so should not be
direct, but channeled through the
United Nations.
Mbandi elaborated on a ques-
tion concerning the Biafra crisis
in ibis manner: That the situation
was complex and as far as he felt,
Biafra was still a part of Nigeria.
He also expressed his disagree-
ment with the killings. The entire
problem he further said, was one
of "Historic tribal antagonism be-
tween the Ebos and others." The
blame, commented Mbandi, should
also be placed on actions which
the British were earliar respon-
sible for.
Following the formal discussion,
a small group of students and
one faculty member continued the
questions which were always
answered in full by the two
visitors.

Summer "68
By Debbye Richardson
We. the students who work in
the dining hall, feel that we are
not getting enough money for our
work or service. We are hoping
llial you, as members of the news-
paper staff and the student body
will try to aid us in all possible
ways to get more money. Please
publish in your newspaper some
actions that may be taken to help
us.
Thank you.

I feel that bus service should

I feel that in the near future
that all Upward Bound Students

the entire dorm to themselves, and

I feel lhat the young ladies are
just as independent as the young
men on campus: therefore, they
should have the same curfew as
the young men do. which is none
at all.

I think we should have more
teachers who can speak English
fluently, so there can he a better
Teacher-Student understanding.

After organizing another editorial, I still felt that there was
something, closer to SSC that I had to say. It is not usual for me to
write to my fellow students concerning themselves. But, I had this bug,
so 1 bad to rid myself of it. like it or not. here goes:
COMPLAINTS, COMPLAINTS that's what I hear in most cases
about this publication. Okay, so you don't like it. then prove it. Show
what you don't like- blabbing to those who can't change it is no good.
Okay, 1 understand that it doesn't come out often enough: but aside
from our budgetal limits. I know that you're receiving a paper more
often now than since you have been here. I also understand that you
didn't like the type paper we used; okay, critic, how's this new semi-
gloss for you?
So you feel that Greek-wise I am prejudiced; well, come with
evidence lhat 1 am of such and I'll accept it. But if your organization's
reporter leaves your name out see that person and not us.
Also I've heard that the faculty is played up too much you must
be nuts!! Why not compare the number of articles about instructors,
with those for and about students.
When Jo we meet? As if you don't know Every Wednesday at
6:15 p.m., in Meldrim 214. Better still. I give you an invitation, since
lliis paper is so "rotten." why not be guest editor for one issue! I'll
butt out and see just how you'd run things around the student publica-
tion office TIGHT!
CAMPAIGN 68
SSC and the Candidates
Guest columnist Barbara Holli-
dav. out of curiosity took a
random survey of summer stu-
dent- a* to their presidential choice
for '68 and the reasons that
govern their decisions.
"'I think lhat Vice President
Humphrey will win the election in
'68. My reason for stating this is
that Humphrey has the potential
qualilies that will help our
country."
Almeta Maria Steele
"Since the death of Robert
Kennedy, the Negro in America
has no guarantee as to which
candidate will promote and un-
derstand his problems. From the
policies of Vice President Hubert
Humphrej I think he will win the
election because he seems out of
the other candidates the one who
could best champion the Negro
cause."
Sandra Bland
i am inclined to believe that
Vice President Humphrey will win
the election. Humphrey's ideals,
political status and campaigning
on a whole are good; however he
j ust doesn't possess that Presi-
dential image."
Deborah Gerrard
"I think lhat Flumphrey will
win the election in '68 principally
because he views the foreign and
domestic problems from a differ-
ent prospective than the other
candidates. He seems to see the
problems as the American people
see ihem. and he will strive to
deal with them fairlv."
W.' H. Nelson
"I think lhat Richard Nixon will
win the election of '68 because of
the conservative trend lhat the
country is emerging into."
Charlie Gaulden
" I think that the election will
end up in the House because of
the votes for Wallace. Therefore,
the party that controls the House
will choose their party's candi-
date."
Patricia Hunter
"I think that Eugene McCarthy
will win the election because he
has liberal ideas and wants to
change things. Therefore since a
change must come, the people will
vote for him to be President of
the United States."
I ill. i M.ie I larden
"1 think the election will come
off with no one with ihe majority
of votes and because of this it will
end up in the House. The reason
I say ihis is that Wallace of the
third party will curry most of the
Southern slates."
Betty Jones
"I think Humphrey will win the
election if he gets Kennedy to run
for Vice President. If Kennedy
does not accept the offer for Vice
President. I believe McCarthy will
win."
Samuel Dumas
"I think McCarthy will win the
election because he has strong
power, and I believe that he will
make a bigger change in society.
McCarthy is not just for the upper
class, but I think that he will help
the middle and lower classes. He
is not separating the people from
society, instead he is trying to
bring them into society."
Artitia Smith
"I think that Humphrey will win
the presidential election. Hum-
phrey has a long brilliant career
in politics. His policies have been
liberal and this point in itself will
help him carry the Negro vote.
Humphrey carries more than
enough electoral votes to win the
election.
"Humphrey will prove to be a
great friend to the minorities, the
businessmen, and the middleclass."
Betty Jordan
McCarthy, because his platform
acquired its momentum and direc-
tion from the young people of
America. The force of young atti-
tudies are being felt in many
walks of American life from
corner store to eampus to capital."
Samuel Maxwell
A Summer Look
Of Lockette Hall
For the latter part of summer
school, I'm quite sure all of the
students were looking for some-
thing special to do.
The ladies of Lockette Hall had
a head start on the activities under
the great leadership of our direc-
tor, Mrs. A. G. Manor and the
activilies chairman. Miss Annie
Frances Jordan.
On August 3. the ladies of
Lockette Hall with the aid of the
gentlemen of Peacock Hall had a
picnic on the lawn of Lockette.
Wilh the small amount of money
each student paid for activities
within their various dorms, food
was supplied to every person in
attendance. The fun and play ac-
tivilies began at 5 p.m.
Everyone in attendance reported
having a nice time.
So long from the ladles of
Lockette.

Tiger's Roar
"Rosemary's Baby," by Ira
Levin.
Ira Levin has written a startling
novel that will he remembered for
a long time. This is a novel that
will keep you tense and in con-
stant suspense until the end when
the impossible happens.
Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse
were delighted at the chance to
move into the Bramford, one of
Manhattan's oldest and most cele-
brated apartment houses. Their
friend Hutch urged them not to;
he knew of too many shadows in
the Bramford's past unsavory
tenants like Adrian Marcato, who
had practiced witchcraft, and the
monstrous Trench Sisters. But
Rosemary and Guy were not super-
stitious; they dismissed Hutch's
warnings and moved in.
At first they were completely
happy. Rosemary hung curtains
and planned a nursery for the
baby she hoped to have some day.
Guy pursued his career as a stage
and television actor. They met
their neighbors, the Casavets, who
were friendly and unintrusive.
After meeting the Casavets, Guy
started spending more time with
them ami leaving Rosemary alone.
When the W'oodhouses decided to
have (heir baby, Guy made a bar-
gain with the Casavets his wife
for a better position in show busi-
ness. Guy did not know the Casa-
vets were phonies, and he also
joined this sect who worshipped
the devil. Dr. Sapirstein. who was
Rosemary's doctor, and a member
of this sect, refused to give Rose-
mary any type of medication dur-
ing her pregnancy for the severe
pains she suffered. Dr. Sapirstein
told her that the [tains were nor-
mal, ami lie also had Mrs. Casavet
to prepare Rosemary a drink made
from "lanis root," which she
drank every day. Rosemary's
friend. Hutch, brought her a book
one day about witchcraft, and told
her of his suspicions about the
Casavets. Rosemary began to put
pieces together and found out that
the Casavets and the doctor were
in a plot to get her baby. She
then changed doctors and was ad-
mitted to the hospital; but the
doctor and her husband kidnapped
her from the hospital. Rosemary
was given a shot which knocked
her out. When she came to, she
had had the baby, but her husband
told her it was dead. One day she
heard a baby crying; and she
searched all the rooms until she
found a secret door leading from
her apartment to the Casavets'
apartment. With a knife in her
hand, she walked through the
apartment toward a black bassinet,
draped in black with a black cross,
Inside the bassinet was her baby.

I am madly in love with this
fellow; at times he acts the same
way toward me, but he makes
promises and never keeps them or
even mention them again. What
shall I do to stop this.

1 have been given a bad name
around here on campus by some
most unfriendly person or persons.
The information being given out
about me is most unfair and of
course wrong. Please give me a
wa\ to get all of this straight with
someone I care about.
Bad Name
Dear Bad Name:
At one time or another all of
us hair been called bad names. I
don't know the extent of ba/lness
of your name, but my advice to
you is to forget about the name
and don't shoiv displeasure when
mentioned to you. Calling some-
one a falsely acquired bad name
shows ignorance on their part.
Cynl
He was cute, with little slits for
eyes which were red and orange;
he had two tiny horns on either
side of his head and a long black
tail.
Quietly and with compelling
matter-of-factness, Ira Levin tells
a story of mounting terror and icy
climactic shock. Few people who
begin "Rosemary's Baby" will put
it down unfinished; no one who
finishes it will ever quite forget it.

Can you make a friend in a Day
Or do you have to wait and wait?
Can you make a friend in a month,
Or do you still have to wait and
and wait?
A friend is a person that's with
you right or wrong, weak or
strong.
How long does it take for you to
Make a friend? In just a day,
month,
or will they have to wail and wait?
I'm looking for a friend, but I
don't want
to wait for a day, month or even
a year.
I hope I've made a friend by just
asking!
How long does it lake for you to

"The Mind of a
Bhtek Woman'
By Jony Singleton
A person with bad breath blows
into
A balloon polluting it with a stale
Smoker's cough "How in the
Hell can the air smell like this?"
She thought as she walked through
The myriads of musty, moldy,
ragged people.
All she could see was faded-out
Greys, browns and blacks shaped
in
The forms of rags wrapped
around
The haggard, burly people
covering
Their skins and bones.
She passed through them as a
Bowling ball that misses the
Pins and runs off into the gutter
Yes the gutter all that she
Had ever known these were her
people.
She finally reached "Home."
"Home is where the heart is."
Ha Home is where the rat's
heart is Home is where the
walls crack, water leaks.
The next-door-neighbor beats his
wife
Damn breaking heart!
Turn of a lock she enters her
Room smelling the stale air that
Always remains even when the
Windows are open.

""Living, or
Existence"
By Patricia A. Jenkins
The doors of life lay open
I see. I feel. I am;
Yet. something is missing.
1 seek and have not found.
1 knock and the door does
not open. I ask and have
not been given.
Quiet surrounds me and I brood.
Society crushes in and I withdraw.
Living, or Existence? I wonder.
You
By Deborah Cerrard
^ ou mean so very much to me.
I simply can't express
The sweet contentment that you
bring,
The joy without the strive.
You mean so very much to me,
A love, a guy and a friend,
Ours is a love born of sincerity
A beginning without an end.
\ ou mean so very much to me
Darling I can be any place.
And need not concentrate too long
To see your smile or face.
1 think of you each day God sends
And never rest it seems.
And over when I finally sleep
I see you in my dream.
You mean so very much to me
No love can ever be
As warm sincere, and beautiful
As the love you have given me.

She puts her weary head into her
Filthy nailed hands. In that
Position, her head looked like a
Mop that had been dropped in
Black dye to hide the filth
The disgusting dirt underneath.
Finally raising her head pushing
Back the stringy mopped hair.
The tears ran full over her
Mask of make-up dropping
Downward- mixing with the
Grease stains on her dress.
How to escape all of this?
She got up and began unbuttoning
Her flashy, cheap red dress
Remembering that she had to
work
Tonight. It was Friday night
And the sailors had docked in

Busy night here in her
"Home sweet home."
BACC Interview
(Continued from Page I)
A. We will not answer the
question because the racist laws
in this society prohibits free ex-
pression: and we also feel that in
order for the black man to survive.
some things must be kept secret
and defense merits this quality.
Bland Concerning the Black
Art Festival:
Q. What were some of ihe stu-
dent's reactions following the
festival?
A. Students mainly served as
observers in the festival. There
were relatively few who attended
and showed great interest in the
events that were held.
Q. What was the rate of stu-
dent motivation by the faculty?
A. We can think of only one
instance in which there was a call
by a faculty member to the student
body for participation.
Q. Has the festival accom-
plished anything on SSC's
campus? If so, bow and what ac-
tions have proven this?
A. Since attendance was low.
we can only say that the student
body was awakened to the fact
that BACC had emerged as an
activitist group. The short range
plans of the festival have become
long range plans.

The Fort Down
Thomas Nevels, Senior electron- 1
ics major from Savannah, is gain-
fully employed at Ft. Pulaski Na-
tional Historical Monument. Nev-
els. who was at first accepted in
maintenance capacity, refused this
position and was later interviewed
and tested for his present position
as park guide.
Possessing superb speaking abil-
ities, Nevels was first interested in
working at the Fort through a
career week representative from
Pulaski. During the summer, the
SSC student works as a full time
employee, but be works only dur-
ing the week-ends during the
school term.
In an interview with Nevels, he
stated, "My basic job is conduct-
ing tours of the Fort for groups
studying history and on weekend
tours for the general public."
Aside from this he has little paper
work and at evenings, he secures
the Fort and sometimes assists in
souvenir sales.
Nevels at first found his job
quite challenging, and quite inter-
esting at present. As far as the
information concerning the tour,
the basic material is found in the
Fort's library.
In reaction to visitor attitudes,
he commented, "Aside from the
surprise of seeing a Negro in uni-
form, by mostly local or Southern-
ers, I am received quite well." In
reference to response to him, Nev-
els related that since working at
the Fort, several letters had been
received expressing the visitors*
appreciation for his presentation
while conducting tours.
Nevels ,a member of the Col-
lege's dramatics organization,
"Players by the Sea," is also a
member of the Delta Eta Chapter
of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.

willing, and motivated with a firm

usher told me that he thought he
smelled smoke. I went and lold my
mother who was playing the piano
for the choir, that the church was
on fire. My mother and I ran out
of the church and ihe congregation
followed also. This happened in
the middle of the sermon. When
everyone was out and saw that
nothing was wrong. I received
many stares and people went
home, instead of going back into
the church.

Another fellow and I thought
we would go shoplifting for the
fun of U. We decided to take two
banlons each. On our way out of
the store, we spotted a detective
and we happened to stop in
"Women's Apparel." When the
detective left, we put the mer-
handise into our shirts, and ran
home We bragged to the fellows
what we had done, until they
dared us to show them ihe mer-
chandise. When I took out of my
shirt what 1 thought was two
banlons, it turned out to be one
bra and one girdle.

One night both of my boy-
friends were sitting in my living
room at the same time. They both
remained there to see who would
leave first. The last one that came
left first.

One day I came into the
cafeteria with a pair of dirty green
jeans and a dirty green sweatshirt,
when Mrs. Frazier called me out
of line in front of everyone. She
lold me thai I had a pretty face
and a nice hair-do, but that I
looked plain nasty.

the occasional development, time
of one and one-half to two hours
compares favorably with paper
systems. Not only does TLC have
speed, but it also has sensitivity.
TLC is able to resolve a minute
constituent, often as small as five
nonograms. from a large and com-
plex sample. The separated sam-
ple components may be removed
easily for analysis and or develop-
ing with the accessible fractions
obtained. Moreover, there is ver-
satility in TLC.
TLC complements gas chroma-
tography and other analytical
methods. To cite an example, pre-
liminary separation by TLC can
reduce the complexity of a sample
before resolution in a gas chroma-
tograpb. Since the medium is
usually inert, it is possible to use
unusual developing (color! agents.
Strong analytical measures that
would be destructive to other me-
dia may also be used.
Because of its unique character-
istics, TLC is a valuable analytical
procedure for separation of a wide
and increasing variety of sub-
stances. It enjoys popularity in
medicine, biology, and pharmacy
as well as the chemical industry
and many others.
Extraction of lipid, preparation
of thin-layer plates, development,
identification are recovery all lead
to the quantitative analysis of the
lipid contents of insects mitochon-
dria as the insect is varied.
