By  BETTY  E.  SINGLETON 

-Do  you  know  that  on  our  cam- 
pus we  have  a  chapter  of  that  Na- 
tional organization  known  as  the 
National  Associationn  for  the  Ad- 
vancement of  Colored  People? 

Well,  consider  for  a  while  .  .  . 
we  do  have  a  chapter  and  it  is 
growing  as  the  college  grows.  But, 
we  need  your  support. 

One  of  the  most  important  aims 
is  to  increase  the  membership  of 
this  organization.  Each  member  is 
in  himself  a  membership  commit- 
tee, and  the  larger  our  member- 
ship, the  more  useful  we  can  be 
to  the  entire  student  body  of  Geor- 
gia  State  College. 

The  Georgia  State  College  chap- 
ter is  now  in  tae  procees  of  elect- 
ing officers  for  the  1949  year. 
Shortly  after  the  election  of  the 
executive  committee  chairmen  is 
completed,  the  chapter  will  have 
its  installation  of  new  officers. 
Presiding  at  this  occasion  will  be 
Rev.  Ernest  W.  Armstrong,  col- 
lege' minister.

Observes   Beauty  of 
Campus 

By    Mcrvin   P.   Jackson 

Beach-Cuyler  Day  was  spent  on 
the  beautiful  Georgia  State  Camp- 
us and  in  the  various  buildings  on 
January  11,  1949. 

Georgia  State  students  and  visit- 
ors filled  Meldrim  Auditorium  to 
capacity  to  witness  the  most  un- 
forgettable program,  put  over  by 
students  and  graduate  students  of 
Beach-Cuyler  High  School. 

To  get  the  day's  activities  under- 
way, the  Beach-Cuyler  students 
assembled  in  the  Meldrim  Audi- 
torium at  11:00  A.M.,  to  hear

Dean  of  Faculty,  W.  K.  Payne, 
Curriculum,  Mr.  P.  D.  Davis,  Jr., 
Comptroller  and  Miss  Charity  E.

drim Auditorium  at  12:00  Noon, 
where  thp  many  Pbleciing  vuiccs 
of  Bcaeii-Cuyler':;  heavy  rho'v  wa.^ 
heard,  .accompanied  at  the  piano 
by  Mr,  Peter  Smalls,  Sei  'or  High 
Music  Director  at  Beach;  Devo- 
tions by  Keikf.  E.  W.  Armstrong, 
Sr.,  the  College  Minister;  Mr.  Clif- 
ford Hardwick  III,  Business  Man- 
ager of  The  Tiger's  Roar  and  an 
outstanding  member  of  the  Stu- 
dent Council  gave  out  with  a  very 
hearty  welcome  to  the  graduating 
class  of  Beach-Cuyler.  He  de- 
scribed fully,  the  beautiful  camp- 
us here  at  Georgia  State;  then 
came  response  by  Mr.  Herman 
Blyer,  one  of  the  honor  graduates 
students  of  Beach. 

The  program  reached  its  highest 
lights  when  Little  Miss  Evelyn 
Grant,  a  Junior  at  Beach,  walked 
to  the  piano  and  played  her  con- 
cert numbers  which  included: 
Sonata  Pathatique,  Clair  De  Lune, 
and  Fantasia  Impromptu,  all  of 
which  were  extra  good. 

Appreciation  for  her  wonderful 
performance  was  shown  her  by 
the  many  applause,  and  the  un- 
divided attention  from  her  entire 
audience.  Then  came  President 
James  A.  Colston,  greeting,  and 
welcoming  the  Beach  Graduating 
Class  to  Georgia  State  College 
and  its  activities.  He  congratulated 
Beach-Cuyler  on  having  played  a 
very  important  part  in  Georgia 
State  College  for  many  years,  and 
their  continuing  to  do  so,  with 
special  regards  to  the  many  ex- 
cellent students  hailing  from 
Beach.  The  President  concluded 
by  saying  "For  that  reason  and 
many  others,  I  extend  a  most 
cordial  welcome  to  the  graduating 
class."  Mr.  Prince  Jackson,  Presi- 
dent of  the  College  Student  Coun-

COLLEGE  NEWSPAPER 


Our  World  of  Thoughts 

By  MRS.  JOAN  L.  GORDON 

How  big  is  your  world?  Are  you 
cognizant  of  the  fact  that  it  is 
within  our  power  to  circumscribe 
the  world  in  which  we  live.  The 
distant  from  East  to  West  is  no 
bigger  than  our  hearts,  the  sky 
no  higher  than  our  thoughts,  and 
the  soul,  which  is  the  brain's  bud- 
ded wings  in  flight  to  an  end  be- 
yond its  own,  can  soar  to  the  in- 
finite. 

Our  world  lies  within  the  king- 
dom of  our  thoughts.  Longfellow 
wrote  that, 

"All  are  architects  of  Fate 
Working  in  these  Walls  of  Time." 

The  materials  that  we  use  in 
building  our  "fate"  are  our 
thoughts.  There  is  a  habit  of  mind 
that  we  call  imagination.  If  it  is 
trained  to  be  a  creative  habit  rath- 
er than  idle  day  dreaming,  it  will 
be  our  best  working  tool.  The  im- 
agination will  draw  the  blueprints 
to  be  used  by  the  will  in  building 
the  structures  of  our  lives. 

Some  lose  the  power  of  imagi- 
nation after  .they  pass  the  fairy- 
.tale  stage,  simply  because  they  do 
not  exercise  it.  They  are  people 
who  stumble  through  life  uncon- 
scious of  that  unique  something 
in  every  person  or  thing,  incap- 
able of  original  ideas  and  creative 
acts.  If  we  develop  the  habit  of 
imagination  we  never  lose  it-  But 
we  may  lose  the  practice  of  using 
it  which  causes  mental  inertia. 

There  is  another  habit  of  mind 
that  goes  far  in  determining  what 
sort  of  country  this  world  of  our 
thoughts  is  to  be.  When  the  tools 
of  thought  grow  dull,  they  may  be 
sharpened  on  the  grinding  stone  of 
memory.  A  day's  work  or  the  ex- 
periences of  a  week  is  more  than 
broken  framents  of  days  and 
years,  they  are  parts  of  that  great- 


er whole  we  call  life.  So  memory 
gives  dignity  and  meaning  to  what 
might  seem  trivial  and  framentary. 
If  the  structure  of  our  lives  he- 
comes  indebted  to  a  chaotic  mind, 
only  memory  can  pay  the  mort- 
gage. 

The  brain  is  a  hive  where  the 
bees  of  thought  of  perpetual  hon- 
ey store.  What  are  we  picking 
up  each  moment  and  storing  away 
in  the  coffers  of  our  kingdom? 
There  are  new  philosophies  and 
theories  that  we  hear  in  the  talk  of 
a  day.  Are  we  storing  them  up  for 
that  time  when  we  will  need  them? 
There's  a  golden  sunset  veiling 
the  clouds,  are  we  folding  that 
away  for  a  rainy  day?  There  is 
the  field  of  reality  in  which  to 
plant  our  dreams.  There's  the  si- 
lent prayer  that  trees  breathe, 
are  we  grasping  it  for  the  moment 
when  we  must  still  the  cry  of 
doubt? 

In  the  kingdom  of  our  thoughts 
we  must  live  all  the  days  of  our 
lives.  We  shall  want  to  ask  other 
people  to  visit  our  world.  Will  they 
be  happy  in  it?  Will  they  enjoy  its 
climate  and  scenery?  Or,  will  there 
be  too  many  mountains  of  cynical 
and  intolerant  thoughts,  desert 
places  of  useless  ideas,  swamp 
lands  of  stagnant  emotions,  and 
days  and  days  of  darkness  when 
there  is  no  sunshine  of  faith  in 
human  resources?  Or,  will  there  he 
broad  meadow  lands,  sunny  beau- 
en  thoughts  and  sentiments  flow- 
en  thoughts  an  dsentiments  flow- 
ing from  out  the  years? 

To  answer  these  questions  we 
must  remember  that  our  world  Is 
no  wider  than  our  hearts  and  no 
loftier  than  our  thoughts.  But  East 
and  West  will  pinch  the  heart 
that  cj>n  not  keep  them  pushed 
apart,  and  if  our  minds  are  flat 
the  sky  will  cave  in  on  us  by  and 

i>y. 


College  Students 
Hits  Barber 

Aroused  by  the  flagrant  dis- 
crimination practiced  by  six  local 
barber  shops  who  have  been  re- 
fusing haircuts  to  Negroes,  irate 
students  at  Pennsylvania  State 
College  have  organized  a  boycott 
against  the  shops  and  are  enlist- 
ing the  assistance  of  student  and 
civic  groups  in  their  battle  against 
Jim  Crow  in  this  city. 

The  boycott  began  with  a  mass 
demonstration  organzied  by  the 
college  chapter  of  the  National 
Association  for  the  Advancement 
of  Colored  People  after  the  shops 
denied  a  haircut  to  Mitchel  Wil- 
liams, a  Negro  track  star  from 
Philadelphia.  Approximately  500 
students  gathered  at  a  protest 
rally  on  Dec.  10  to  hear  addresses 
by  student  leaders,  faculty  mem- 
bers, and  Miss  Marion  O.  Bond, 
NAACP  field  secretary,  and  to 
parade  through  the  streets  carry- 
ing placards  "  and  chanting  "Jim 
Crow  must  go."  William  Meek, 
president  of  NAACP  Penn  State 
chapter,  indicated  that  more  than 
150  students  had  signed  up  to 
picket  the  shops  "to  prove  by  an 
effective  demonstration  of  public 
opinion  that  discrimination  has  no 
place  in  State  College." 

The  day's  demonstration  culmi- 
nated in  the  presentation  of  a 
fifteen- minute  radio  skit  prepared 
by  the  NAACP  chapter  and  pre- 
sented as  a  public  service  over 
local  radio  station  WMAJ.  Begin- 
ning with  a  brief  dramatization  of 
the  beginning  of  the  NAACP  in 
1990  and  an  outline  of  the  Asso- 
ciation's purposes,  the  program 
called  attention  to  the  discrimina- 
tion still  existing  in  this  commu- 
nity and  appealed  to  citizens  to 
support  the  student  protest  again- 
st this   discrimination. 

In  a  letter  to  Rep.  Homer  S. 
Brown  of  the  Pennsylvania  State 
Legislature,  Mrs.  Ruby  Hurley, 
NAACP  youth  secretary,  pointed 
out  that  legal  redress  against  this 
kind  of  discrimination  is  not  pos- 
sible at  the  present  time  because 
barber  shops  are  not  specifically 
included  within  the  provisions  of 
the  Pennsylvania  Civil  Rights 
Statute.  Noting  that  a  similar  pat- 
tern in  the  city  of  Lewisburg  has 
been  reported  by  the  NAACP  col- 
lege chapter  at  Bucknell  Univer- 
sity, Mrs.  Hurley  asserted  that 
undemocratic  practices  on  the  part 
of  barber  shops  are  fairly  wide- 
spread throughout  the  state  of 
Pennsylvania,  and  requested  that 
an  amendment  to  make  barber 
shops  subject  to  the  penal  provis- 
ions of  the  law  be  introduced  at 
the  next  session  of  the  State  Leg- 
islature. 

Students  are  appealing  to 
groups  and  individuals  to  address 
correspondence  to  legislators  ask- 
rights  statutes.  Another  mass 
ing  amendment  of  the  state's  civil 
meeting  is  scheduled  for  January 
IB. 


Attention 


Veterans 


The  Veterans  Administration 
has  begun  to  discontinue  the  train- 
ing of  all  veterans,  regardless  of 
status,  who  are  reported  to  have 
been  excessively  absent  from 
classes.  You  are  again  reminded 
that  regular  class  attendance  is 
one  of  the  definite  requirements 
by  the  VA  which  all  veterans  must 
adhere  to.  You  are  advised  that 
any  veteran  whose  training  is  in- 
terrupted because  of  excessive  ab- 
sences will  have  to  make  a  direct 
appeal  to  the  Regional  Office 
(Atlanta),  and  will  also  have  to 
go  through  an  Advisement  and 
Guidance  Center  before  there  is  a 


Open  Letter  To 
GSC 


Dear  Fellow  Students, 

I  feel  that  you  should  know  the 
situation  of  your  Student  Council 
at  Georgia  State  as  it  should  be  of 
vital  concern  to  you. 

The  situation  of  the  council  is 
the  same  as  one  would  ordinarily 
expect  it  to  be.  We  have  the  same 
problems  in  general  as  most  Stu- 
dent Councils  have  and  we  are 
very  worried  about  them  as  most 
Councils  are.  In  our  conference 
with  Dr.  Alonzo  Meyers  of  N.  Y. 
U,  in  December,  we  found  that 
we  are  aiming  at  the  more  vital 
goals.  Of  course  this  was  only 
one  man's  opinion,  but  he  has 
done  a  lot  of  work  with  Councils 
such  as  ours.  He  said  "a  Student 
Council  can  do  much  for  a  student 
body  but  only  through  the  full  co- 
operation of  that  student  body." 
Cooperation  is  the  greatest  ob- 
atacle  to  our  Student  Council.  We 
lack  unity  as  a  whole  and  this 
great  factor  has  been  the  weak 
point  of  our  Council  since  it  was 
organized.  As  a  solution  to  this 
problem,  I  am  asking  you  to  be 
more  tolerant  with  your  fellow  stu- 
dent and  help  him  in  every  pos- 
sible way.  I  want  you  to  attend 
every  affair  sponsored  by  your 
Council  and  cooperate  with  it  in 
every  possible  way.  If  you  have 
any  complaints  about  your  Coun- 
cil, or  any  suggestions  as  to  how 
it  should  be  operated,  you  may  do 
so  by  mail,  talking  to  the  Council 
or  at  mass  meetings  of  the  Coun- 
cil. 

The  attendance  at  the  past 
mass  meetings  have  been  very 
poor  and  we  hope  that  the  future 
ones  will  be  better  by  far.  It  is  at 
these  meetings  where  each  stu- 
dent can  voice  his  opinion  on  any 
issue  he  considers  of  importance. 
Suggestion  boxes  will  also  be  put 
in  the  more  conspicuous  places  for 
the  above  mentioned  privilege. 

Read  your  Council's  bulletin 
board  for  future  events.  Keep  up 
with  your  Council.  Criticize  them 
if  you  want  to,  but  do  it  in  a  civ- 
ilized  manner. 

Keep  the  Formal  Dance  in  April 
fresh  on  your  mind.  Every  student 
should  attend. 

Hoping  to  see  you  at  all  future 
affairs   sponsored   by   the   Council, 

Yours  Truly, 
Prince  Jackson,  Jr., 
President.

and  at  2:30,  the  students  enjoyed 
a  get-together  in  the  spacious  Col- 
lege Inn,  which  is  located  on  the 
campus.  There,  they  met  with  some 
old  friend3,  and  were  acquainted 
with  new  ones. 

The  members  of  the  Student 
Council  and  the  Collegiate  Counsel-

possibility  of  the  VA  letting  the 
veteran  resume  training  under 
the   G.I.   Educational   Program. 

Why  are  you  absent  from 
classes  so  much  ?  If  you  have  a 
legitimate  excuse  when  you  are 
absent,  then  secure  an  official  ex- 
cuse from  the  Dean  of  Men's  of- 
fice so  that  the  absences  can  be 
scratched  from  your  record  and 
not  reported  to  the  Veterans  Ad- 
ministration. Poor  attendance  de- 
notes a  lack  of  interest  in  your  ob- 
jective and  will  came  the  VA  to 
believe  that  taxpayers  money  is 
being  wasted.  Therefore,  it  is  very 
significant  that  you  exercise  ev- 
ery possible  caution  and  attend 
your  classes  regularly.

mittee must  have  had  in  mind 
when  they  appointed  a  special 
Christmas  Committee.  This,  com- 
mittee made  a  survey  of  the  needy 
people  of  Thunderbolt  community. 
A  Christmas  basket  was  prepared 
and  distributed  to  those  people 
who  were  unable  to  provide  the 
proper  things  for  the  great  holi- 
day of  the  year.  This  service  of 
mercy  was  sponsored  by  the  Re- 
ligious Life  Committee.  An  ap- 
peal for  funds  to  support  this  pro- 
gram was  made  in  a  pre-holiday 
assembly  by  Mr.  Charles  Hall, 
junior,  and  a  member  of  the  spe- 
cial committee. 


"Biology  in  Everybody 
Life" 

"Biology  in  Everyday  Life"  was 
the  theme  of  a  panel  discussion 
sponsored  by  the  biology  depart- 
ment, under  the  direction  of  Dr. 
B.   T.  Griffith,   December  7,   1948. 

Mr.  Charles  Davis  introduced 
the  speakers,  and  their  topics  of 
discussion  was  as  follows:  Jean 
Williams,  "Playing  to  Be  Happy"; 
Mr.  George  Harris,  "Singing  in 
the  World";  Mr.  Marvin  Bird, 
"No  Chairs  in  the  Parlor";  and 
Mr.  William  V.  Webb,  "Rubbing 
the  Pain  Away". 

The  panel  discussion  gave  the 
Freshman  students  a  clear  under- 
stading  of  each  problem  treated. 
The  speakers  are  majors  in  biolo- 
gy-

trained  people  should  head  our  de- 
fense program.'  His  New  Year's 
resolution  to  the  student  body  was, 
"Begin  to  solve  the  present  prob- 
lems now."

Paper  Staff 
Member  Appointed 

Mr.  Charles  W.  Cole,  senior, 
Georgia  State  College  was  ap- 
pointed the  CHESTERFIELD 
CAMPUS  REPRESENTATIVE  by 
the  Campus  Merchandising  Bu- 
reau of  New  York  on  November 
29,  1948. 

This  kind  of  work  has  been  go- 
ing on  in  many  of  the  white  col- 
leges, but  this  marks  the  first 
time  that  such  an  appointment  has 
been  at  GSC. 

Mr.  Cole  stated  that  the  purpose 
of  this  job  is  to  create  the  inter- 
est of  smokers  of  Chesterfield 
smokers  and  thereby  promote  bet- 
ter sales  in  the  future. 


Veteran's  Start 
New  Year  Right 

Student  veterans  started  the 
New  Year  off  with  a  change  in 
their  attendance,  by  being  in  each 
class  every  day,  and  on  tim" 

Last  month  many  veterans  re- 
ceived letters  from  the  Veterans 
Administration,  disco  ntinuing 
their  training,  and  in  order  that 
the  veteran's  training  be  estab- 
lished, he,  (the  veteran)  had  to 
write  a  letter  to  the  Veterans  Ad- 
ministration, Atlanta,  Ga.,  explain- 
ing and  giving  an  account  for 
absentees.  They  did  write  the  let- 
ters, and  some  of  them  received 
their  re-entrance  letters,  but  the 
others  are  still  waiting  for  a  re- 
ply, 

Veterans,  and  non-veteran  stu- 
dents, I  advise  you  to  obtain  one 
of  the  Student  Handbooks  from 
the  Administration  Building  and 
read  it  thoroughly.  It  contains  im- 
portant information  for  the  stu- 
dents atending  Georgia  State.  By 
30  doing,  you  will  know  ju3t  what 
is  required  of  you  as  a  student 
here. 

Some  veterans  are  really  on  the 
ball  because  I  have  payed  atten- 
tion to  thorn  check  frequently  with 
the  instructor  as  to  whether  he 
was  marked  absent.  That  is  the 
spirit,  fellers;  continue  to  make 
these  necessary  checks  when  you 
are  in  doubt.  In  this  way  you  can 
avoid  placing  your  training  in  jeo- 
pardy.

Former  Grad 

Is  Killed 

Nathaniel  Mayes,  a  graduate  of 
Georgia  State  College  in  the  class 
of  '39  with  a  B.  S.  degree  in  Eng- 
lish, was  killed  suddenly  in  an  ac- 
cident January  12,  1949,  at  Fort 
Pierce,  Fla.,  while  en  route  to  his 
home  in  Albany,  Georgia,  after  at- 
tending an  insurance  meeting  in 
Miami,  Florida. 

Nathaniel  Mayes  was  a  very  ac- 
tive alumnus  of  Georgia  State 
College,  and  played  an  important 
part  in  making  our  Albany  chap- 
ter a  very  successful  one.  Mr. 
Mayes  was  the  beloved  husband 
Mrs.  Hellen  M.  Mayes,  also  a 
graduate  of  Georgia  State  College, 
who  is  now  employed  as  assistant 
to  the  registrar  at  Albany  State. 
Mrs.  Mayes  was  formerly  direc- 
tor of  Extension  at  Georgia  State 
College  and  is  now  the  executive 
secretary  of  the  southwest  chap- 
ter of  Georgia  State  College  alum- 
ni. 

Accordingto  the  information  re- 
ceived from  Wilton  C,  Scott,  direc- 
tor of  Public  Relations  at  Georgia 
State  College,  Mr.  Mayes  was  ap- 
parently an  ideal  product  of  Geor- 
gia State  College. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was 
serving  as  assistant  insurance 
manager.  Prior  to  his  graduation, 
Mr.  Mayes  was  president  of  Dra- 
matics, an  active  member  of  the 
Trade  Association,  1935-39,  an  ac- 
tive member  of  the  book  club  and 
business  club.  Mr.  Mayes  served 
as  business  manager  of  the  Her- 
ald from  1935-39,  a  member  of  the 
varsity  basketball  team,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  college  football  team, 
and  was  always  ready  to  assist  in 
any  possible  way  for  the  better- 
ment of  this  college. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  Mr. 
Mayes  was  a  member  of  the  Grand 
Class  Reunion  Committee.  Georgia 
State  College  feels  a  great  loss  in 
the  tragic  death  of  one  of  its  de- 
voted Alumni  members  and  con- 
veys its  deep  sympathy  and  con- 
dolence to  the  entire  Mayes  fam- 
ily. 


Vet  Secretary 

Speaks 

Mr,  Nelson  R.  Freeman,  gradu- 
ate of  Georgia  State  College,  and 
veterans  secretary,  wishes  to  in- 
form the  veterans  of » the  newly 
enacted  laws  passed  by  the  Vet- 
erans Administration-  Realizing 
the  seriousness  of  the  situation 
that  occurred  last  month,  Mi- 
Freeman 'reveals  the  following  in- 
formation to  the  veterans  of 
Georgia  State  College, 

Absentcism:  Any  veteran  that  is 
absent  more  than  thre  (3)  days  in 
any  one  month  and  does  not  have 
an  official  excuse  from  the  insti- 
tution is  considered  not  making 
satisfactory  progress  by  the  VA. 
First  offense — The  veteran  has  a 
good  chance  of  reinstatement,  but 
the  second  offense,  the  veteran's 
chances  of  reinstatement  are  al- 
most hopeless;  therefore  he  is  ap- 
pealing to  all  veterans  for  their 
full  participation  regarding  these 
regulations. 

Caps  and  Gowns:  It  has  been 
made  clear  that  the  VA  will  not 
pay  for  caps  and  gowns  for  the  vet- 
erans, however,  it  will  pay  for  the 
filing  of  application  for  degree. 
The  VA  considers  the  cap  and 
gown  a  personal  problem  of  the 
student,  hence  no  funds  are  pro- 
vided to  this  effect. 

Failing  of  Veterans:  Any  veter- 
an who  fails  due  to  neglect  on  his 
own  may  be  ordered  by  the  VA  to 
compensate  for  the  books  and  sup- 
plies that  were  used  in  the  partic- 
ular course  that  were  used  in  the 
particular  course  that  he  failed 
in.  The  VA  maintains  that  an 
erage  of  "C"  is  a  satisfactory 
grade.  Anything  below  that  is 
deemed   a   failure. 

Mr.  Freeman  made  it  clear  that 
he  is  very  interested  in  the  veter- 
ans and  that  he  will  do  his  ut- 
most to  see  that  all  veterans  get 
everything  that  they  are  entitled 
to,  and  that  if  there  are  any 
schools  that  are  issuing  any  sup- 
plies to  veterans  that  this  school  is 
not  issuing,  be  will  see  that  the  vet- 
erans get  it  here,  provided  that 
they  are  required  in  the  pursu- 
ance of  his  course. 

The  secretary  explained  that  his 
office  is  open  to  all  veterans 
twenty-four  hours.  Even  on  East 
Broad  Street,  West  Broad  Street, 
or  at  his  house  or  even  walking 
across  the  campus.  So  again  he  is 
appealing  to  all  VETERANS  for 
their  wholehearted  ocoperation. 


As  early  as  1740,  three  Marine 
regiments  were  recruited  in  Am- 
erica, assembled  in  New  York 
and  performed  valiant  service  in 
the  West  Indies,  but  for  the  Brit- 
ish  Navy. 


A  woman  reported  to  the  detec- 
tive bureau  that  someone  had  stol- 
en food  out  of  her  ice  box  and  her 
heater.  "Don't  you  have  any  idea 
who  'i  dtbe?"  the  police  inquired. 
"Sure,  I  know  who  it  is,"  she  re- 
plied, "but  I  want  you  to  find  out." 


The  following  members  of  the 
24th  Infantry  Regiment  are  'not 
attending  the  Eighth  Army  Ord- 
nance School  in  Yokahama:  Pri- 
vate First  Class  James  A.  Tay- 
lor, Dandridge,  Tenn.;  Pfc.  Valvin 
Wingo,  Amelia,  Va.,  and  Pvt.  Chas. 
Ownes,  Upper  Marlboro,  Md. 


A  freshman  walked  in  the  room 
of  an  accounting  class  and  asked 
Mr.  Franklin  Carr,  "Are  you  Miss 
Davis?" 


In  October,  1948,  Atlanta's  Ne- 
gro teachers  won  a  nine-year 
fight  for  salary  equality.  .  .  Larry 
Doby  and  Satchel  Paif°  of  the 
Cleveland  Indians  basked  in  the 
World  Series  spotlight.  .  .  Negro 
postal  employes  were  victims  of 
pudge  in  six  citiea.

Hot  on  Both  Ends 

Even  though  it  was  about  thir- 
ty-six degrees  outside  a  man  in  a' 
barber  shop  got  hot,  believe  it  or 
not,  and  on  both  ends.  Here's  how 
it  happened. 

A  cast  iron  wood  heater  inside 
the  building  became  intensely  hot. 
A  barber  working  nearest  the 
stove  felt  the  unusual  warmth 
most  and  proceeded  to  open  a  door. 
Another  man  working  in  the  far- 
thest corner  of  the  room  was  not 
.iffected  by  the  heat  protested  this 
action  and  promptly  closed  the 
Joor.  The  now  sweating  workman 
igain  opened  the  door  only  to  have 
It  closed  again  by  the  cooler  gen- 
'.leman.  This  opening  and  closing 
ictoin  continued  in  a  childish  man- 
ler  for  some  considerable  time. 
\ttempts  to  cool  the  stove  made 
l)y  the  manager  failed.  The  barber 
Tinally  dared  his  companion  to 
^lose  the  door  again  after  it  had 
'jeen  opened  wide  for  the  tenth 
*ime  to  cool  the  heated  room  and 
.he  scorching  tempers  of  its  oc- 
■upants.  A  few  harsh  words  fol- 
'owed  and  a  fight  was  about  to 
■nsue  when  a  kindly  saint  profess- 
'ng  to  be  a  christian  separated  the 
arguing  pair  just  before  the  final 
bulge.  That  was  one  time  a  snatch 
in  time  saved  the  day. 

The  angry  barber  who  failed  to 
maintain  his  selfish  wishes  to  dis- 
comfort others  and  comfort  him- 
self promptly  left  the  building. 
Maybe  the  world  would  be  a  lot 
better  off  if  all  people  so  selfish, 
so  oblivious  of  other's  welfare,  so 
eager  to  run  the  world  his  own 
way  took  permanent  leaves  of  ab- 
sence— to  where?  WHERE  IT'S 
HOT  ON  BOTH  ENDS. 


The  Lyons  Georgia  Sham 

By  RAPHAEL  E.  OLIVER 

Again  justice  has  received  a  slap 
in  the  face.  How  long  is  our  pres- 
ent civilization  going  to  put  up 
with  such  shams  as  the  Lyons, 
Georgia,  affair? 

It  appears  that  our  sacred 
courts  have  become  Broadway  the- 
aters, embodying  all  the  fictions, 
dramas,  etc.  Is  there  no  law  of 
which  some  of  our  courts  and  law 
enforcers  will  not  stoop,  too? 
"Apparently  not"  seems  to  be 
about  the  only  possible  answer. 

We've  been  kidding  ourselves 
that  justice  meant  for  all  is  re- 
ceived by  all.  There's  nothing 
wrong  with  that  belief.  But  we 
failed  to  classify  the  types  of  jus- 
tice and  conditions  under  which 
certain  kinds  of  Justice  is  admin- 
istered. 

To  rephrase  an  old  adage  "white 
is  always  right."  This  statement 
has  always  existed  as  a  silly,  and 
a  stupid  one  .But  no  more!  Today 
this  statement  stands  out  aa 
though  in  neon  lights,  realistical- 
ly in  headlines  in  your  local  news- 
papers and  deeply  embedded  in 
the  minds  of  the  people. 

Shoula  this  trend  of  thought  re- 
main unchallenged  and  unaffected! 
In  the  hands  of  many  like  in  Ly- 
ons, Georgia,  the  South  will  be 
literally  speaking  a  powder  keg, 
with  everyone  being  a  match  in 
mind  and  a  fuse  in  the  body. 

Something  must  be  done  imme- 
diately, if  the  local  authorities 
lon't;  then  beyond  a  shadow  of  a 
doubt  our  Government  should  act. 
And  it  is  definitely  hoped  that  the 
Lyons,  Georgia,  sham  will  bring 
about  this  type  of  action.

The  Town 

With 

Miss  Simmons 


Well,  here  I  am  again  folk  to 
bring  to  you  the  news  of  the  af- 
fairs which  have  been  given. 

THE  STUDENT  COUNCIL 

On  December  4,  1948  the  Stu- 
dent Council  gave  a  dance  in  the 
gymnasium  which  was  highly  en- 
joyed by   all   who   attended. 

There    was    a    nice    crowd    there 

and  everyone  really  did  look  fine. 

For  this  affair,  Joe  Bristow  and 

his    Bee-Bop    Band    furnished    the 

■     music. 

During  intermission,  there  was  a 
raffling  of  a  chicken  and  a  cake; 
The  chicken  was  won  by  Ben  Col- 
lins and  the  cake  was  won  by 
Melvin  Bush.  Weren't  they  lucky, 
though  ? 

Miss  Georgia  State  was  escorted 
to  the  front  by  President  Jackson 
to  draw  the   lucky   numbers. 
CONGRATULATIONS

Good  luck  to  all  members  of  in- 
terest groups. 

VETERANS 

The  Veterans  gave  an  enjoy- 
able Winter  Dance  on  Saturday, 
January   8,  in  Wilcox   gymnasium. 

Fo^  this  gala  affair,  Jimmic 
Drayton  and  his  band  furnished 
the  syncopation  which  was  en- 
joyed by  the  large  crowd  that 
attended. 

Evereyone    who   was   present   at 


We  are  looing  forward  to  more 
entertainments  to  be  given  by  this 
progressive    club. 
ATLANTA 

Georgia  State  college  was  re- 
presented at  the  basketball  game 
which  was  played  in  Atlanta 
against  Morehouse  college  by  stu- 
dents. Those  that  were  there  in- 
cluded: Crawford  Bryant,  Harry 
Mason,  Connie  Bogan,  and  I.  Mrs. 
Ted  Wright  and  Pat  were  there 
also.  The  game  was  very  ex- 
citing and  the  boys  really  played 
a  good  game  even  though 
lost.  However,  I  am  sure  that  we 
will  have  victory  at  home. 
BEACB   DAY 

Here  on  our  campus,  January  11, 
was  known  and  celebrated  as 
Beach  Day. 

On  this  particular  day,  the  Jan- 
uary graduating  class  of  Beach 
High  School  was  entertained  by 
the  Georgia  State  college  Fnmily. 
A  program  for  the  day  was  set 
up  for  their  enjoyment. 

I  hope  that  each  of  them  had 
a  wonderful  time  on  their  day 
and  that  we  shall  see  some  or  all 
of  them  on  our  campus  as  mem- 
bers of  our  family  in  the  near 
future. 
ILL 

Students  of  Georgia  State  college 
are  very  sorry  to  hear  of  the 
illness  of  little  Margaret  Long,  the 
daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robert 
Long,  who  had  an  operation  lately. 
We  are  wishing  her  a  speedy  re- 
covery. 
RECITAL 

In  Meldrim  Auditorium,  January 
13,  Georgia  State  college  present- 
ed Miss  Evelyn  Grant  in  a  piano 
recital  which  was  highly  enjoyed 
by  everyone  who  was   present. 

She  played  six  splendid  num- 
bers to  a  very  large  crowd  of 
music  lovers.  We  are  hoping  that 
she  will  come  back  again  to  play 
for  us  very  soon. 

Miss  Grant  is  only  16  years  of 
age  and  is  in  the  Junior  class 
at  Beach  High  School. 

S"he  is  well  known  for  her  music 
ability.  We  do  wish  that  she  will 
come  to  our  family  to  continue 
her  studies  and  add  to  our  depart- 
ment of  music.  We  need  her,  we 
can  use  her,  and  we  want  here. 
We  congratulate  Miss  Grant  on 
splendid  performances. 

Ai  magnificent  recital  wa3  given 
by  the  Alpha  Interest  Group  on 
January  14,  in  Meldrim  Audi- 
torium with  Mr.  E.  La  Marr  at 
the  organ  and  piano  and  Mr.  James 
W.   Fisher,  Vocalist. 

The  auditorium  was  well  pack- 
ed and  I  am  sure  that  everyone 
enjoyed  the  splendid  program  for 
it  was  well  done  by  these  two  tal- 
ented young  men  that  we  are 
fortunate  to  have  as  members 
of  our  family. 

The  club  needs  to  be  congratula- 
ted for  having  presented  such  an 
enjoyable    program. 

Congratulations  to  the  young 
men  who  did  a  wonderful  job  of 
thrilling  the  audience.

Something  to  Remember 

Don't  say  the  thing  is  impossible 
— the  chances  are  you'll  rue  it, 
because  some  one  who  doesn't  know 
will   come  along   and  do   it. 


How  About  It  Ladies? 

As     Grandma     says,     "Be     in     ni 

hurry,  deary: 
If    you    get    a    good    husband    a

This  Matter  of  Dress 

Clothes  are  the  eternal  feminine 
question.  While  they  aren't  ex- 
actly the  most  important  things 
in  the  world,  there  are  times  when 
they  seem  to  be.  There  is  a  de- 
finite poise  and  confidence  that 
imes  from  being  well  dressed 
and  knowing  that  you  are.  Clofhi 
speak  a  powerful  language.  They 
tell  the  world  whether  you  are 
solvenly  or  careful,  artistic  oi 
crude,  dowy  or  smart.  Learn  tt 
ie  this  power  to  your  advantage. 
There  are  dozens  of  fascinating 
books  and  magazines  devoted  solely 
to  this  important  matter  of  dress. 
The  subject  is  much  too  broad 
to  discuss  in  detail  here.  The  fol- 
lowing are  a  few  brief  funda- 
mentals. 

Appropriateness  is  the  keynote. 
Your  clothes  cannot  be  successful 
unless  they  are  suitable  to  your 
age,  the  occasion,  your  position 
in  life,  your  particular  personality, 
figure,  and  personal  coloring. 

Dress  your  age.  Don't  adorn 
yourself  in  a  slinky  black  formal 
and  long  earrings  in  the  hope  that 
you  will  create  an  interesting  wo- 
man-of-the-world  effect.  Your 
clothes  should  not  be  embarris 
ingly    little-girlish. 

Carefully  match  your  clothes  to 
the  occasion.  If  you  have  been  in- 
vited somewhere  and  nothing  has 
been  said  about  how  to  dress,  try 
to  find  out  what  the  others  are 
wearing.  If  this  is  impossible,  then 
remember  that  it  is  safer  to  go 
undepressed  than  overdressed. 
You  will  be  more  comfortable  if 
you  are  wearing  the  only  street 
clothes  in  a  group  of  formals  than 
if  yours  is  the  only  formal  among 
many  skirts  and   sweaters. 

There  is  magic  in  line  and  de- 
sign. With  the  aid  of  good  re- 
ference books  on  the  subject,  learn 
how   to   relate   the   ilen   of   your 


Everybody's 
Business 


Well,  guys  and  gals,  Eyes  is 
back  on  the  scene  after  having 
had  wonderful  times  during  the 
Yuletide  season.  If  you  didn't  have 
fun,   shame   on   you. 

The  boys  on  the  basket-ball 
team  didn't  go  home  for  Christ- 
mas. Well,  I  hope  each  of  you 
had  fun  here  during  the  holidays. 
I  know  P.  G.  and  Bobby  Brown 
did,  for  P.  G.  was  seen  on  Wa- 
ters Avenue  quite  often  visiting 
Mary  Bogan,  a  student  at  Beach 
while  Bobby  went  around  with  her 
friend. 

Christmas  gifts  are  really  float 
ing  around  the  campus  and  i1 
seems  as  if  birthstone  rings  have 
it-  Gloria  and  Helen  Dilworth  are 
wearing  fine  one  from  Jessie  and 
George.  Mable  Fortson  has  a  love- 
ly one  also. 


lines  are  determined  by  fairly  un 
alterable  facters,  such  as  the  size 
and  shape  of  your  bones.  Of 
course,  diet  and  exercise  may  be 
used  to  tone  down  or  round  out 
curves,  but  when  it  is  a  matter 
of  being  too  tall  or  too  short,  you 
will  need  to  use  other  tactics. 
Where  diet  and  exercise  fail,  the 
line  of  your  clothes  may  succeed. 
Correctly  chosen  clothes  can  give 
you  a  queenly  height  instead  of  a 
beanpole  stringiness,  or  they  may 
seem  to  remove  inches  from  hips 
and  shoulders  that  have  long  been 
your  secret  sorrow.  Dress  illusion 
is  a  justified  form  of  deceit  and 
a  fascinating  subject  to  work  with. 
Remember  that  fabric,  color,  and 
design  also  play  a  part  in  de- 
ceiving the  eye.  The  most  effective 


illusions  result  whr.n  all  these  fac- 
clothes  to  you.  Your  own  general  |  tors  are  employed.

During  the  holidays,  Bunky

Lyals  and  Lizzie  Thompson  are

Congratulations,  Louis  Vaughns. 
You  are  engaged  to  a  student  at

son  so  they  say   .True? 

I  see  that  Ruby  Best  and  Mat- 
tie  Turner  are  back.  Welcome 
girls,  we  missed   you. 

Girls,  I  think  Ed  (better  known 
as  little  Stretch)  is  cute.  Never- 
theless, Dorothy  Boston  thinks  so 
too. 

Ragsdale  was  seen  enjoying  The 
Woman  In  White  with  two  young 
ladies.  I  couldn't  tell  who  was 
for  they  both  had  his  undivided 
attention.  White,  the  referee,  was 
also  enjoying  the  same  movie  with 
a  young  lady. 

The  games  that  Georgia  State 
played  Hampton  were  really  on. 
The  second  game  was  even  better. 
Boston  really  did  show  out  along 
with  Jesse  Morgan,  Stretch,  Don- 
ald Adams,  Buster,  and  Ed  Con- 
ner. 

Can  there  be  a  romance  bloom-

the  world  know  about  you.  Be , 
careful,  handsome.

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR

SCORE  0-0,  Aggies  Defeat  A.  &  S. 

Frank  Willis  Stars 


Chuck's 
Corner 


Georgia  State's  cagers  have 
dropped  four  out  of  four  games 
wherein  the  students  have  been 
expecting  a  few  wins.  Naturally, 
we  want  a  winner  but,  I  predict 
that  we  will  still  win  the  confer- 
ence championship,  we  must  con- 
sider the  opponents  which  our 
team  had  to  face.  There  was  the 
great  Hampton  team,  Morehouse 
and  Morris  Brown,  all  dreaded  by 
the  greatest  of  ball  bouncers. 
However,  we  must  remember  that 
our  opponents  were  stronger  in 
experience  than  our  team. 

While  talking  to  one  of  my 
friends  about  the  team,  he  brought 
out  a  point  that  is  worth  mention- 
ing in  this  column.  Most  of  us 
will  not  agree  or  approve  of  his 
attitude,  but  I  will,   100  per  cent. 


Edward  Conner  Injured 
In  Atlanta 

Edward  Conner,  one  of  State's 
promising  freshmen  cagers  suf- 
fered a  broken  fore-finger  when 
trying  to  trap  a  ball  on  the  floor 
during  the  game  betwene  GSC  and 
Morris  Brown  in  Atlanta, 

Conner  had  seen  much  action  in 
State's  previous  games  and  will 
without  doubt  be  a  great  loss  to 
the  team  as  he  will  probably  be1 
out  of  action  for  the  remainder  of 
ihe  season. 


Collegiate  Counsels  Club 

The  Collegiate  Counselors  Club 
of  Georgia  State  College  is  mak- 
ing plans  to  sponsor  a  talent  show 
on  February  11,  1949.  All  organi- 
zations of  the  college  campus  are 
eligible  to  participate  in  the 
show.  There  will  be  two  prizes  of- 
fered. First  prize  will  be  five 
(§5.00)  dollars  to  the  winning  par- 
ticipant and  an  equal  sum  to  the 
organization.  Second  prize  will  be 
three  (§3.00)  dollars  to  the  win- 
ning participant  and  an  equal  sum 
to    the    organization   represented. 


Three  Freshman  Cagers

He  says  that  even  though  the  boys 
haven't  won  a  game  and  if  they 
don't  win  a  game  this  season  they 
are  receiving  a  training  that  will 
enable  them  to  win  in  the  game 
of  life. 

My  friend  says  that  the  squad 
is  getting  a  training  in  sports- 
manship, cooperation  and  mutual 
understanding  that  will  carry 
them  farther  in  later  life  than  the 
fact  that  they  were  Ail-Americans 
in  the  year  of  1949. 

With  the  sportsmanship  and 
fair  play  they  are  learning  as 
members  of  the  GSC  basketball 
squad,  they  will  go  out  into  the 
world  not  only  as  believers  of  fair 
play  but  champions  of  justice  and 
fighters  for  an  even  break  for  all. 

At  the  Chicago  Centennial  Ex- 
position in  1892-93  the  barker  v/as 
asking  everybody  inside  to  see  the 
greatest  wonder  of  the  world  and 
when  they  entered  the  building 
the  people  saw  ten  large  Negro 
men  on  one  end  of  a  rope  pulling 
together  with  the  other  end  fas- 
tened to  a  steel  post.  This  was  one 
of  the  wenders  of  the  world  then 
but  with  the  training  in  coopera- 
tion that  our  team  is  receiving 
thoy  will  be  able  to  pull  together 


for  the  common  good  of  all  in  the 
future  without  being  looked  upon 
as  a  side  show. 

Then  too,  as  my  friend  says,  who 
are  we  to  cry  if  the  boys  haven't 
lieen  winning?  Why  aren't  we  out 
there  trying  to  do  better?  My 
friend  has  nothing  more  to  say 
nor  have  I,  but  in  the  words  of 
Theodore  Roosevelt,  "It  is  not  the 
critic  who  counts;  not  the  man 
who  points  out  how  the  strong 
man  stumbled,  or  where  the  doer 
of  deeds  could  have  done  better. 
The  credit  belongs  to  the  man  who 
is  actually  in  the  arena;  whose 
face  is  marred  by  dust  and  sweat 
and  blood;  who  strives  valiantly; 
who  errs  and  comes  short  again 
and  again;  who  knows  the  great 
enthusiasms,  the  great  devotions 
and  spends  himself  in  worthy 
cause;  who  at  the  best  knows  in 
the  end  the  triumph  of  high 
achievement;  and  who  at  the 
worst,  if  he  fails,  at  least  fails 
while  daring  greatly;  so  that  his 
place  shall  never  be  with  those 
cold  and  timid  souls  who  knows 
neither  victory  nor  defeat."

Hampton  Invades 
For  Double  Win 

Before  a  capacity  crowd  of  ap- 
proximately 1000  basketball  fans 
a  strong  Hampton  squad  defeated 
GSC  to  the  tune  of  62-25  on1  De- 
cember 13,  in  Wilcox  Gymnasium. 

For  the  first  quarter  the  game 
went  along  even  until  Wilson  and 
Foster  of  Hampton  started  hit- 
ting the  bucket  at  every  try. 

The  first  half  ended  20-9  in  fa- 
vor of  Hampton. 

State  showed  very  good  form 
but  the  old  reliables  such  as 
"Stretch"  Savery,  "Jiggs"  Mor- 
gan and  Harris  just  couldn't  hit 
the  ol'  hoop. 

James  Foster,  of  Hampton,  was 
the  top  scorer  of  the  game  with 
six  hits  from  the  floor  and  1  by 
the  donation  route.  "Stretch"  Sa- 
very led  the  GSC  squad  with  six 
pointa  via  the  field. 

The  final  score,  Hampton,  62, 
GSC,  26. 

In  the  second  game  with  Hamp- 
ton on  Wednesday,  December  14, 
it  looked  for  a  while  that  the  Ti- 
gers would  make  a  comeback  and 
gain  their  first  victory  but  the 
overwhelming  power  of  the  Hamp- 


Tradies  Kick 

Aggies  14-0 

On  December  13,  before  about 
300  students  the  trade  department 
ran  over  the  Agricultural  Depart- 
ment to  the  tune  of  14-0. 

This  was  the  second  and  final 
intramural  game  between  the  de- 
partments and  a  championship  lay 
at  stake. 

From  the  beginning  the  Aggies 
seemed  a  bit  shaky  and  the  con- 
stant pounding  of  the  line  by  the 
Tradies  Fullback  Calvin  Small  did 
the  Aggies  no  good  at  all.  Small 
was  the  outstanding  player  of 
both  teams,  he  ran  like  a  train 
and  the  tottering  line  of  the  Ag 
gies  was  no  match  for  this  jug' 
gernaut  who  was  determined  not 
to  be  stopped. 

In  the  second  quarter,  after  rip- 
ping the  Aggies  line  to  shreds 
Small  crashed  over  for  the  Trades 
first  score.  The  try  for  the  extra 
point  failed  and  the  Traides  were 
leading  6-0  at  the  end  of  the 
first  half. 

In  the  third  stanza  after  push- 
ing the  Aggies  back  on  their  own 
goal  line,  a  shaking  and  trembling 
John  Demons  fumbled  the  ball  in 
the  in-zone  where  he  was  smeared 
by    the    entire   Trade   team   for

tonians  was  too  much  and  State 
got  her  second  beating  of  the  sea- 
son. , 

Both  teams  gave  a  good  exhibi- 
tion of  fast  breaking  and  decept- 
ive passing  but  as  in  the  previous 
game,  State's  sharpshooters  were 
unable  to  find  the  range.  The  score 
at  the  end  of  the  game  was  52-37 
with  Hampton  out  io  front. 


safety.   This    put   the  Tradies   out 
in  front   8-0. 

The  fourth  period  found  the  Ag- 
gies in  possession  of  the  pig-skin 
on  about  the  mid-field  stripe. 
Charlie  "Stumble,  fumble  and 
grumble"  conyers  on  a  pass  from 
center  fumbled  and  the  ball  was 
recovered  by  the  Tradesmen.  Con- 
rad Moore,  back  for  the  Trades- 
men, unleashed   a   passing   attack 


Teams  Put  Up  Brawny 
Battlle 

On  December  8,  1948  before  ap- 
proximately forty  rain  drenched 
students,  the  Arts  and  Science 
Department  fought  a  stronger 
Aggie  team  to  a  0-0  tie. 

This  was  the  first  of  two  Intra- 
mural games  with  the  winner  of 
the  first  game  playing  the  Trade 
department  for  the  school  cham- 
pionship. 

For  the  first  quarter  the  two 
teams  fought  each  other  to  a 
standstill,  but  in  the  second  stan- 
za the  Aggies  began  a  drive  which 
put  them  on  the  A&S  4-yard  stripe, 
first  and  goal.  Charlie  Conyers 
was  thrown  for  a  loss  back  to  the 
Arts  32,  On  the  next  play  a  fum- 
ble by  the  Aggies  put  the  ball  on 
the  Arts  46.  The  A&S  took  over 
and  were  hitting  the  Aggies  wall 
for  no  gain  at  the  end  of  the  first 
half.  The  score,  Aggies,  1  first 
down;  Arts  &  Scionce,  no  first 
downs. 

The  second  half  was  a  battle  of 
brawn,  very  little  brain,  until  lit- 
tle George  "Moe"  Saunders  threat- 
ened the  Aggies  with  an  end  run 
which  pur  the  fans  in  a  frenzy  and 
new  life  into  the  dying  Artsciences 
team. 

With  Frank  Willis'  superb  kick- 
ing and  the  shifty  running  of 
Ade  Evans  the  Aggies  kept  the 
Arts  and  Science  team's  back  to 
the  wall,  but  like  the  man  backed 
into  a  corner,  the  A&S  team  made 
goal  line  stands  to  hold  the  Ag- 
gies to  a  0-0  tie. 

The  Aggies  were  declared  the 
victors  by  running  up  five  first 
downs  to  the  Arts  and  Sciences  1. 


Free  Cigarettes  Given 
At  GSC 

Mr.  R.  R.  Butts  and  Mr.  W.  D. 
Akers,  representatives  of  the  R.  J. 
Reynolds  Tobacco  Company,  were 
at  GSC  prior  to  the  holidays  dis- 
tributing free  cigarettes  to  all  stu- 
dents at  GSC. 

Mr.  Butts  stated  that  "this  was 
a  nationwide  objective  of  the  com- 
pany in  order  to  promote  better 
sales  of  better  cigarettes.  All  of 
the  students  at  GSC  were  very 
well    pleased    with    the    company's 


A  Word  Here  and  There 

Attention  teachers!  How  would 
you  like  the  following  schedule? 
Arise  at  3  a.  m.,  catch  an  out-of- 
town  bus  and  ride  about  eight 
miles.  Then  you  change  and  wait 
for  another  bus  which  will  carry 
you  an  additional  five  miles.  Then 
you  arrive  at  school  all  worn  out

"SUCCESS  STORY"  SHOW  AT  GA.  STATE  COLLEGE 


A  HINT 

TO  THE 

WISE 

By  DAISY  B.  PORTER 

The  human  race  is  divided  into 
two  classes:  those  who  hate  dish- 
washing an  dthose  who  avoid  dish- 
washing. The  latter  class  is  be- 
lieved to  be  extinct,  at  least  in 
our  society- 

You  have  probably  heard  that 
dishwashing  machines  are  em- 
ployed in  the  United  States.  This 
is  correct.  Most  dishwashing  ma- 
chines are  eighteen  nor  nineteen 
years  old,  wear  white  aprons  and 
produce  peculiar  noises  like  this: 
"Aw,  Ma,  why  can't  Dorothy  do 
'em.  I  have  at  least  ten  pages  of 
Miss  Hunt's  French  to  study." 

DISHES  HAVE  MANY  DE- 
LIGHTFUL PURPOSES.  One  eats 
from  them,  movie  theaters  get 
people  to  see  dull  pictures  by  giv- 
ing them  away;  cats  lap  milk  from 
them;  and  they  are  great  to  break. 

Kind-hearted  people  are  those 
who  lick  the  plate  clean.  This  is 
also  a  noble  excuse  for  being  a 
Pig- 
Actually,  dishwashing  procedure 
can  be  quite  simple.  First,  finish 
a  delicious  meal.  Second,  digest  it 
in  leisurely  bliss,  relaxed  in  your 
favorite  chair.  Then,  pay  heed  to 
mother's  look  and  the  light  will 
dawn.  Look  at  the  table.  Well,  aft- 
er all,  it  wasn't  a  very  big  meal 
— only  a  few  dishes.  Pile  these 
utensils  neatly  atop  one  another 
and  find  your  way  to  the  kitchen 
sink. 

It  is  very  unfortunate  that  sis- 
ter keeps  her  skates  directly  in 
front  of  the  kitchen  sink.  Arising 
from  the  fragments  of  broken 
glass,  you  cautiously  pick  up  the 
pieces  of  silverware  and  slip 
them  gracefully  into  a  soapy  dish- 
pan.  Two  hours  later  when  you 
have  finished,  you  notice  that  your 
sister  is  standing  beside  you. 
Your  family,  you  see,  operates  on 
the  cooperative  plan.  Each  must 
do  her  share.  You  wash  the  dishes 
and  little  sister  watches  you. 

See  you  next  month  in:  "A 
HINT  TO  THE  WISE." 


What's  Wrong 
With 

Justice 

By  JOSEPH   B.   BOWMAN 

Will  we  ever  receive  justice  and 
full  protection  through  the  Justice 
Department  as  prescribed  by  the 
Constitution  of  the  United  States 
of  America? 

If  so,  what  about  the  lynching 
of  Willie  Earle,  of  South  Carolina, 
the  Monroe,  Georgia  Case,  the 
Carter  and  Nixom  Case,  and  the 
Mallard  Case? 

As  you  recall,  in  the  Willie 
Earle  case,  Earle  was  lynched  by 
a  group  of  white  men  in  1946, 
shortly  after  the  inauguration  of 
Gov.  J.  S.  Thurmond  under  the 
white  supremacy  platform,  as  the 
governor  of  South  Carolina.  Of 
course  the  21  members  of  the  mob 
confessed  to  the  killing,  went  to 
trial  and  was  freed  by  an  all-white 
jury  a  few  months  later  at  Greens- 
boro, S-  C. 

The  Monroe  case,  four  Negroes 
were  lynched  by  a  band  of  white 
men,  the  case  never  did  get  to 
court,  because  of  the  lack  of  evi- 
dence and  the  tightlipped  Negroes 
as  well  as  whites  throughout  Mon- 
roe. 

The  Carter  case;  Carter,  a  Ne- 
gro citzen  in  Georgia  in  the  re- 
cent election,  doing  his  duty  as  an 
American   citizen,  by   transporting 


Negro  voters  to  the  polls  as  a  re. 
suit,  he  was  unmercifully  beaten 
by  a  group  of  white  men.  As  a  re- 
sult of  the  beating  received,  his 
wrist  was  broken,  yet  the  men 
went  free. 

Isaac  Niron,  Mount  Vernon  vot- 
er who  dared  to  vote  after  having 
been  told  not  to  by  a  group  of 
white  men.  Nixon  was  murdered 
in  cold  blood  by  a  group  of  white 
men  while  his  family  looked  on. 
The  mob  went  free  by  an  all-white 
jury. 

Of  course  you  know  about  the 
Mallard  case,  Robert  C.  Mallard, 
Negro  casket  salesman  of  Lyons 
(Toombs  county)  Georgia,  was 
lynched  on  a  lonely  road  by  a  mob 
of  about  twenty  white  men  dressed 
in  white  robes  and  hoods.  Mallard 
was  lynched  by  this  group  on  the 
night  of  November  20,  shortly  aft- 
ar  Herman  Talmadge,  another 
white  supremacer  was  elected  to 
the  governorship  of  Georgia. 

Mrs.  Amy  Mallard,  widow  of  the 
slain  man  was  only  able  to  identi- 
fy two  of  the  mob  members,  Wil- 
liam L.  Howell  and  Roderick  Clif- 
ton. Both  of  the  men  were  indicted, 
but  on  the  fateful  day  of  January 
acquitted  by  an  all-white  jury  at 
Lyons,  Ga, 

Would  you  call  this  "JUS- 
TICE?" of  course  not,  this  is  the 
answer  of  every  decent  and  right- 
thinking  American  citizen,  because 
lynching  itself  is  injustice. 

The  Mallard  case  brought  na- 
tional fame,  even  Joseph  M.  Gold- 
wasser,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  business- 
man, and  a  member  of  the  Execu- 
tive Committee  of  the  Cleveland 
Branch  of  the  National  Associa- 
tion for  the  Advancement  of  Col- 
ored People.  Goldwasser  first  took 
interest  in  the  case  shortly  after 
the  slaying  with  the  interest  of 
seeing  justice  done  . 

Thurgood  Marshall,  special 
counsel  for  the  N,  A.  A.  C.  P. 
said: 

"The  trial  demonstrates  the  in- 
capacity of  local  authorities  to 
deal  with  the  crime  of  lynching." 
He  also  charged  that  the  arrest, 
indictment  and  the  trial  of  the  men 
were  "perfunctory  motions"  for 
the  sole  purpose  of  "averting 
Federal  action." 

The  European  countries,  especi- 
ally Russia,  have  their  eyes  on  the 
United  States.  For  example: 

Former  Secretary  of!  State  J.  F. 
Byrnes,  while  attending  the  UN 
Conference,  he  proposed  that  the 
other  countries  accept  our  form 
of  democracy.  A  Russian  delegate 
asked  Byrnes  about  the  lynchings 
and  the  terrible  treatment  of  Ne- 
groes in  the  Southern  section  of 
the  United  States,  when  faced 
with  these  facts,  Byrnes  couldn't 
say  anything,  because  he  knew  the 
Russian's  statements  were  very 
true;  so  he  took  his  seat. 

Because  of  the  mere  facts  of  the 
existing  segregation,  discrimina- 
tion, prejudice,  and  lynching  in  dif- 
ferent sections  of  America,  there 
is  no  real  "Democracy". 

Will  you  stand  idly  by  and  sigh, 
while  lynching,  segregation  and 
prejudice  continue  to  exist.  While 
the  K.  K.  K.  continues  to  march, 
terrify  and  lynch  the  Negro  one 
by  one  without  a  cause? 

First  it  was  Willie  Earle,  four 
Negroes  of  Monroe,  Georgia,  Isaac 
Nixon,  Carter,  and  now  Robert  C. 
Mallard,  and  you  may  be  the  next 
victim. 

If  we  are  ever  to  receive  full 
justice  throughout  the  nation, 
then  we  "MUST"  work  together 
for  one  common  cause,  a  full  de- 
mocracy for  people,  regardless  of 
race,  color  or  creed,  and  support 
our  N.  A.  A.  C,  P.  in  the  fight  for 
democracy. 

For  full  and  equal  protection 
from  lynching,  I  therefore  urge 
you  to  write  letters  and  telegrams 
to    President    Truman,    urging    an 


A  Challenge  to  Decent 
Citizens 

By  WALTER  J.  LEONARD 

As  one  approaches  our  college 
campus  he  will  suddenly  be  over- 
whelmed by  the  beauty  of  our  fine 
superstructed  buildings,  moss- 
laiden  oaks,  meticulously  kept 
green  grass,  and  the  superb  land- 
scaping of  our  campus  along  with 
the  many  pulchritudinous  crea- 
tures dashing  to  and  from  build- 
ings at  class  change. 

But  there  is  one  thing  of  which 
they  are  not  adequately  informed, 
that  is — that  immediately  adjacent 
to  the  college  campus  is  located 
the  Girls  Attention  Home,  the  ug- 
liness of  which  surpasses  every 
iota  of  beauty  that  our  institution 
boasts. 

According  to  the  Grand  jur'ys 
recent  report,  oue  could  easily  say 
that  the  conditions  of  this  home 
are  subversive  to  the  lowest  type 
of  living  conditions.  We  are  as- 
suring ourselves  that  the  citizens 
of  Savannah  know  not  of  the  exist- 
ence of  such  a  pity-deserving  and 
action-demanding  condition. 

It  has  been  noted  that  there  are 
twelve  girls  living  in  the  home. 
They  have  twelve  sheets  (one 
each),  they  have  to  wear  each  oth- 
ers clothing  in  order  to  make  a 
change,  and  their  subsistence  is 
NINE  DOLLARS  (each  person) 
per  month. 

It  was  noted  a  few  days  ago  that 
there  is  a  thirteen-month-old  in- 
fant who  crawls  around  in  soiled 
diapers  and  feasts  on  Irish  pota- 
toes and  charcoal  diurnally. 

The  need  for  elaboration  on  this 
subject  is  not  really  necessary. 
We  ask  you,  the  decent  citizens  of 
Savannah  and  community,  how 
long  could  your  daughter  live  on 
nine  dollars  with  a  young  baby 
and  purchasing  clothes  for  the 
two? 


The  Student  Council  For 
Democracy 

By   WILLIAM  P.  McLEMORE 

We  may  not  have  a  Supreme 
Court  at  Georgia  State  College 
but  we  do  believe  in  a  democratic 
form  of  government."  This  was 
proved  recently  when  the  Student 
Council  met  to  amend  the  consti- 
tution to  admit  equal  representa- 
tion, as  that  of  any  class,  from 
the  Trade  Division,  and  elect  a 
Student  Judge,  Associate  Judge 
and  Recorder  of  Student  Court. 

Mr.  Crawford  Bryant  was  pre- 
siding over  the  meeting  and  told 
of  the  past,  present,  and  future 
activities  of  the  Student  Coun- 
cil. Mr.  Frank  Davis  opened  the 
house  for  business  and  Mr.  Powell 
motioned  that  we  change  the  con- 
stitution so  that  Trade  Students 
would  be  equally  represented  in 
the  Student  Council,  Rev.  Charles 
Holliman  made  an  amendment  to 
the  motion  that  the  Trade  Stu- 
dents be  equally  represented  and 
given  all  rights  and  opportunities 
as  that  of  any  other  student.  Mr. 
Prince  Jackson  is  the  president  of 
the  Student  Council, 


early  passage  of  Civil  Rights, 
which  includes:  Anti-segregation, 
anti-discrimination  laws,  abolish- 
ment of  segregation  in  the  insti- 
tutions of  higher  learning,  in  In- 
terstate transportation,  the  abol- 
ishment of  all  forms  of  jim  crow- 
ism  and  a  strong  Anti-Lynch  Law. 
The  time  is  now,  therefore,  I 
urge  you  to  write  letters  and  tele- 
grams to  the  President  of  the 
United  States  as  individuals, 
groups,  or  as  organizations. 


What  About  It 
Colleagues? 

By  WILLIE  GWYN 

We  the  students  of  Georgia 
State  College  and  leaders  of  to- 
morrow have  a  long  hill  to  scale 
to  the  intellectual  heights.  Shall 
we  find  our  way  with  the  help  oi 
others  or  must  we  be  forced  along 
in  life  getting  nowhere? 

Sometimes  I  wonder  if  we  have 
a  sense  of  respect  for  each  other. 
In  the  classroom  we  sit  and  chai 
while  a  student  13  reciting,  we 
walk  about  the  campus  daily  with- 
out speaking  to  each  other,  we 
bump  into  each  other  time  after 
time  and  never  say  "excuse  mt 
please."  These  little  things  art 
important;  they  help  to  build  or 
create  a  warm  atmosphere  wheii 
regarded.  Why  can't  we  remember 
to  do  these  small  things? 

We  are  fortunate  here  at  our 
school  to  have-  a  fine  selection  ol 
people  coming  to  us  from  all  over 
our  state  and  nation  but,  are  we 
grateful?  I  wonder.  Do  we  realize 
chat  some  of  the  people  with  whom 
we  rub  shoulders  each  day  may 
be  our  co-workers  when  we  are 
out  in  life?  If  we  accept  this  we 
ought  to  begin  building  up  rela- 
tionships that  are  binding  and  re- 
spectful. Think  of  it. 

Whenever  a  large  number  of 
people  are  involved  nothing  can 
be  accomplished  without  some 
system.  We  know,  however,  that  a 
system  isn't  any  good  unless  it  is 
used.  What  am  I  getting  at? 
While  sitting  in  a  class,  English 
103.4,  Miss  Annie  Mae  Samuels 
made  a  short  talk.  This  young 
lady  made  her  talk  along  with  a 
complaint,  in  fact,  her  talk  point- 
ed'at  a  serious  problem.  We  know 
about  what  happens  to  the  .lines 
on  the  days  of  registration.  Stu- 
dents who  are  late  getting  in  on 
the  registration  days  take  the  ad- 
vantage of  those  who  are  already 
in  line,  cutting  by  10s  and  20s. 
What  about  it  colleagues?  The 
above  mentioned  class  feels  that 
this  matter  is  of  a  serious  nature 
and  ought  to  be  taken  up  with 
the  Student  Council.  We  feel  that 
it  is  time  to  do  something  about  it 
ourselves  if  we  expect  to  get  along 
with  ourselves. 

By  our  chronological  record  we 
are  pretty  well  matured  as  college 
men  and  women.  |  Let  us  not  fool 
ourselves,  there  is  plenty  of  room 
for  mental  and  emotional  matur- 
ity. This  isn't  an  easy  task  but 
let's  get  busy  so  that  in  years  to 
come  we  can  walk  the  face  of  the 
earth  in  human  dignity  respecting 
the  rights  of  all  men. 


Second  Annual 
Leadership 

The  Second  Annual  Leadership 
Institute  was  held  at  Georgia 
State  College  January  18-20.  It 
was  highly  successful  and  empha- 
sized need  for  continued  and  tho- 
rought  preparation  of  college  stu- 
dents to  meet  the  challenges  which 
rise  out  of  society's  unsolved  prob- 
lems. 

"Preparing  Better  Leaders  for 
Georgia's  Communities"  was  the 
theme  which  was  emphasized 
throughout  the  conference.  Dr.  J. 
W.  Jamerson,  Jr.,  promising  den- 
tist and  civic  worker,  got  the  in- 
stitute off  to  a  fine  start  with  a 
brilliant  keynote  address  on  the 
theme  at  the  noon  session  on  Jan- 
uary 18.  President  James  A.  Cols- 
ton made  a  stirring  appeal  to  the 
students  here  to  utilize  their  time 
and  energies  wisely  in  equipping 
themselves  for  intelligent,  con- 
structive leadership.  He  spoke  on 
the  topic,  "Leadership  for  Georgia 
Communities." 


I 


Influence  Business 
Student 

By    Paul     L.    Howard 

The  picture  titled,  "Success 
Story"  was  shown  to  the  business 
3tudents  by  Mr.  Walker,  manager 
of  the  local  branch  of  the  North 
Carolina  Mutual  Life  Insurance 
Company.  Over  25  business  majors 
saw  the  picture.  The  picture  was 
-ecommended  to  the  business  de- 
partment by  Mr.  Robert  C.  Long, 
acting  chairman  of  the  department. 
,  The  first  scene  was  in  a  six 
story  fireproof  building  in  Dur- 
ham, North  Carolina,  a  house 
what  Archibald  Ruthledge  calls  a 
venture  "unmatched  in  American 
business."  This  $60,000,000  enter- 
prise grew  out  of  the  dreams  and 
efforts  of  a  Negro  barber,  John 
Merrick,  a  Negro  Doctor,  Dr.  A.  M. 
Moore,  and  a  ten-dollar  dishwash- 
er, Charles  C.  Spaulding.  It  is  an 
Insurance  company  whose  first 
?lient  died  soon  after  he  paid  his 
first  65c  premium  on  a  $40.00 
straight  life  policy.  The  only  as- 
sets held  by  the  compnay  were 
35c,  the  first  premium.  The  three 
men  met  in  the  back  of  Merrick's 
barber  shop  and  drained  their 
purses  until  they  met  the  claim. 
Since  that  dramatic  beginning  the 
company  has  paid  over  $20,000,000 
to  its  policy  owners  and  has  ex- 
panded its  services  to  include  the 
ownership  and  directorship  of  a 
Negro  Bank,  a  Bonding  Company, 
a  Building  and  Loan  Company,  a 
Medical  Clinic,  a  Printing  Office, 
and  several  other  businesses  aim- 
ed at  lifting  the  Southern  Negro 
from  economic  annihilation. 

The  Financial  Wizard,  Charles 
C.  Spaulding,  started  out  as  the 
first  field  agent  and  general  man- 
ager, with  one  added  responsibili- 
ty office  boy  and  janitor-  Today, 
at  the  age  of  71,  he  still  manages 
the  concerns  with  more  than  sev- 
eral thousand  Negro  workers  in 
the  offices  and  on  the  field  for 
the  North  Carolina  Mutual  Life 
Insurance   Compnay, 

Since  the  death  of  Mr.  John 
Merrick,  Mr.  Spaulding  carries  on. 
The  American  business  men  proud- 
ly claim  him  as  one  of  their 
greatest  leaders,  and  heralds  him 
as  a  material  messiah  to  the  Ne- 
gro people.  He  holds  the  honorary 
degrees  of  master  of  Law  and 
Doctor  of  Law  and  has  served  as 
a  trustee  to  Shaw  University, 
Howard  University  and  North 
Carolina  State  College,  at  Dur- 
ham. The  great  business  hero  ap- 
peared on  the  Georgia  State  Camp- 
us last  year. 

The  picture  was  enjoyed  by 
every  one  who  attended.  Other 
members  of  the  College  family 
seeing  the  film  included :  Miss 
Mildred  L.  Burch,  administrative 
assistant  to  the  president;  Mrs. 
Lenore  B.  Bellinger,  instructor  of 
business;  Miss  J.  Elaine  English, 
secretary  to  Comptroller;  Mr. 
Franklin  Carr,  business  teacher 
and   Mr.   Robert    C.   Long,   Sr. 


An  address  feature  this  year  was 
the  "Leadership  Clinic"  which 
provided  opportunity  for  our  lead- 
ers to  analyze  splendid  problems 
of  student  organizations  with  con- 
sultants well  versed  in  student 
life. 

Student  leaders  presided  at  all 
of  the  sessions  and  group  meet- 
ings. 

The  student-faculty  planning 
committee  included:  Miss  Beautine 
Williams,  Arthur  Hart,  Prince 
Jackson,  Charles  Hall,  Miss  Rob- 
bie Griffin,  Miss  Ida  B.  Girvin, 
Miss  Thelma  Moss,  Professor 
James  Parker,  and  Dean  William 
J.  Holloway,  chairman.

New  Class  For 

Freshmen 

The  freshmen  students  of  Geor- 
gia State  College  attended  an 
initial  meeting  of  a  special  noon 
class  for  freshmen  recently.  The 
class  is  being  directed  by  the  Stu- 
dent Personnel  Deportment  under 
the  title  of  "Freshman  Oritenta- 
tion."  These  are  regular  classes 
to  be  held  each  Wednesday  from 
12:00  to  12:30  in  Meldrim  Audi- 
torium. The  course  is  required  and 
credit  will  be  allowed  on  the  stu- 
dent's record. 

This  course  is  being  offered  to 
fully  acquaint  freshmen  students 
with  the  college  and  its  program 
and  to  assist  them  in  making  ad- 
justments to  college  life.  Emphasis 
is  placed  on  student  participation 
in  the  various  discussions  sched- 
uled. Students  are  invited  to  ques- 
tion or  request  discussion  of  sub- 
jects  concerning   them. 

In  the  first  class  meeting  Miss 
Charity  E.  Adams,  dynamic  co- 
ordinator of  Student  personnel 
services,  presented  Miss  Janie  L. 
Lester,  Georgia  State  veteran 
teacher  and  Dean  of  Women,  who 
discussed  "Georgia  State  College." 
Miss  Lester  in  her  discussion  cited 
the  historical  background  of  the 
college  from  its  early  formation 
to  the  present  time.  She  mentioned 
among  many  things  the  achieve- 
ments of  Georgia  State  College's 
former  leaders  and,  the  eventual 
growth  of  the  school  into  a  note- 
worthy  institution. 

Speaking  in  regards  of  our  pre- 
sent leader's  administration  she 
said,  "President  James  A.  Colston 
has  done  more  in  one  year  to- 
ward improvement  of  the  college 
than  his  successors  contributed  dur- 
ing their  entire  administration." 
Referring  to  past  graduates  of 
Georgia  State  college  she  remark- 
de,  "They  are  active  in  all  phases 
of  life  and  making  good."  Those 
who  have  entered  other  institutions 
are  among  the  "A"  students.  Miss 
Lester  concluded  by  urging  all 
students  to  Boost  your  school,  love 
your  school — Keep  building  a  big- 
ger and  greater  Georgia  State  Col- 
lege.

Dorothy  Logan  and  Spaulding

What   gives   between   you    two? 

Ada  Pearl  Johnson,  what  has 
happened  to  that  beautiful 
mance  that  existed  between  you  and 
Peter  Slack?  You  two  should  get 
back  together  for  I  am  sure  that 
you  were  made  for  each  other. 

Frank  Prince  is  keeping  close 
these  days.  I  did  see  you  in  town 
once  or  twice  though,  didn't  I? 

Harry  "Curly"  Mason,  you  have 
me  puzzled.  Can  it  be  some  one 
on  the  campus  or  is  it  some  one 
in  the  city?  You  do  go  in  town 
quite  often.  Nevertheless,  leave  it 
to  Eyes  and  it  will  be  found  out. 
Take  it  easy,  ole  boy,  for  I  shall 


be  watching  your   every  move.

Norman  Deloach,  your  walk  is 
out  of  this  world.  They  say  that 
you  walk  as  if  you  own  the  world. 

Emma  Pendergrass,  I  know  you 
miss  Charlie.  Don't  worry,  he 
won't  be  gone  very  long. 

Connie  Bogan  is  really  tickled 
about  the  pin  that  Stretch  brought

very  anxious  to  know. 

James  Bedner,  what  has  hap- 
pened to  you  and  Ruth  Oliver? 
Where  is  she? 

Who  was  the  guy  I  saw  you 
with  at  Beach's  game,  Betty 
Jones  ?    Let    us    know    about    him. 

Dorothy  Mention,  we  see  you  and 
Willie  Conyers  are  really  in  love. 
What  does  Virginia  Baker  have  to 
say  about  it? 

Why  are  you  always  alone,  John- 
nie Polite  ?  What  has  happened 
to  you  and   your  love  one? 

We  really  admire  you,  John  Jor- 
dan.

Spring 


The  season  of  Spring  seems  to 
be  approaching  rather  rapidly. 
Whenever  this  season  comes,  it  is 
time  to  rediscover  and  explore  the 
great  out  of  doors. 

Of  course  one  cannot  say  that 
this  winter  ha3  been  long,  cold 
and  dark,   because  it  hasn't. 

Soon  everyone  will  hear  the 
chirping  of  the  birds  and  see  the 
lovely  flowers  in  bloom.  The  grass 
and  the  leaves  of  the  trees  will 
soon  be  turning  to  their  natural 
color  of  green, 

While  you  are  sitting  in  a  warm 
classroom,  your  eyes  roam  toward 
the  window,  the  sun  and  the  blue 
sky.  You  ache  to  be  out  where 
the  wind  can  blow  in  your  face, 
the  air  feels  soft  and  the  grass 
is  green. 

Maybe  you  have  an  out  door 
hobby  or  perhaps  you  just  enjoy 
roaming  the  hills  and  sidewalks, 
absorbing  spring. 

You'll  enjoy  this  season  more  if 
you  knew  something  about  the  na- 
tural phenomena  of  the  world  in 
which  you  live.  A  starry  sky  is 
more  beautiful  when  you  can  rec- 
ognize the  big  dipper.  Bird's  songs 
are  sweeter  if  you  can  tell  the 
song  Sparrow  from  the  meadow 
Lark.  You  will  be  thrilled  to  know 
that  your're  particular  admiring 
a  rare  yellow  jasamine. 

No  one  is  suggesting  that  you 
become  a  connoisseur  in  any  of 
these  fields,  but  a  general  knowl- 
edge of  plant,  bird  and  animal  life 
will  increase  your  powers  of  ob- 
servation and  give  you  a  great 
deal  of  added  enjoyment. 

No  one  doubts  that  this  summer 
you  will  be  ready  to  observe  the 
coming  of  winter  in  July! 


Negroes  Now 
Admitted 
To  Medical  Schools 

Marquette  University  of  Milwau- 
kee, Wis.,  has  announced  that  it 
i3  willing  to  admit  Negroes  to  its 
School  of  Medicine.  This  will  be- 
come effective  in  September,  1949. 
Mr.  .William  V.  Kelley,  executive 
secretary  of  the  Milwaukee  Chap- 
ter of  the  Urban  League,  has  giv- 
en notice  to  this  effect  to  Dean 
A.  A.  Taylor. 

Negroes  have  never  been  en- 
roled in  the  Marquette  School  of 
Medicine,  primarily  because  there 
have  been  no  applications.  This 
year,  however,  will  mark  the  be- 
ginning of  better  interracial  rela- 
tions at  the  University.  This  has 
been  the  aim  of  the  local  chapter 
of  the  Urban  League  and  other 
interested  civic  organizations  for 
some  time.  The  school  officials 
have  announced  that  qualified  Ne- 
gro students   will  be  accepted. 

The  Albany  Medical  College,  Al- 
bany, N.  Y.,  has  also  stated  that 
Negroes  of  superior  ability  will 
be  admitted,  with  preference  to 
residents  of  New  York  State.  The 
first  Negro  student  began  work 
there  last  fall. 

It  is  hoped  that  interested  stu- 
dents will  apply  in  time  for  fall 
enrollment.

tion's director  of  Interracial  Ac-

the  second  grant  made  to  Meharry

first  grant  totaled  $67,670,  and  the 
funds  were  designated  for  the 
strengthening  of  related  teaching 
programs.

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


JANUARY,  1949 


NEW  SCHOOL  FOR  SOCIAL  RESEARCH 


Do  You  Know  The 
Wright  Family? 

By    HOSEA   J.   LOFTON 

Mr.  Ted  Wright  and  his  family 
are  such  a  dynamic  group  that  this 
paper  chose  to  introduce  them  to 
the  public.  All  stories  have  their 
beginning  and  so  does  this  one. 

Mr.  Theodore  A.  Wright,  head 
coach  at  Georgia  State  College 
was  born  the  son  of  Albert  and 
Eila  Wae  Wright  in  Baldwin,  Kan- 
sas. His  parents  being  members  of 
the  original  territorial  settlers, 
they  were  Spaniards. 

During  his  early  life  he  tost  his 
parents  but  he  worked  hard  and 
through  much  sacrifice  and  a  spir- 
it of  perseverance  which  is  an  in- 
stinctive characteristic  of  the  pres- 
ent Coach  Wright,  he  managed  to 
graduate  from  a  Baldwin  city  high 
school.  He  went  on  to  Baker  Uni- 
versity where  he  was  an  in-serv- 
ice student  teacher  in  1925-26. 

He  was  married  on  May  17,  1928, 
Mrs.  Wright  is  the  former,  Miss 
Thelma  Louise  Paige,  daughter  of 
Archie  and  Flossie  Paige,  of  Sioux 
City,  Iowa.  Her  grandmother  was 
of  an  original  tiibe  of  Sioux  and 
Cherokee  Indians. 

Mrs.  Wright  studied  music  at  a 
Kansas  City  school.  Her  ambition 
was  to  become  a  concert  pianist. 
She  finished  music  at  a  music  con- 
servatory after  her  marriage  to 
"Ted"  as  her  husband  is  called. 
After  her  graduation  from  the  con- 
servatory she  taught  private  mu- 
.  sic  classes. 

She  gave  up  work  to  aid  her 
husband  in  his  work.  Since  then 
she  has  filled  in  where  she  was 
needed,  which  included  doing  his 
secretarial  work  since  he  has  nev- 
er had  a  secretary.  Now  music  has 
become  secondary  to  her.  Mrs. 
Wright  is  a  very  versatile  person. 
One  exemplification  of  her  varied 
talents  is  the  fact  that  she  is  a 
competent  dress  designer  and  is 
now  designing  and  making  the  fa- 
miliar blue  and  gold  uniforms  for 
Georgia  State's  basketball  cagers. 
So  when  you  observe  the  dazzling 
beauty  of  the  team's  suits  remem- 
ber its  only  one  of  the  many  con- 
tributions being  made  to  thi3  in- 
stitution by  the  Wrights. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wright  have  gone 
on  trips  together  for  over  twenty- 
one  years.  She  remembers  missing 
only  four  games.  When  the  blessed 
event  occurred,  Ted,  Jr.,  who  was 
nicknamad,  Bunky,  was  destined  to 
become  exposed  to  the  travel  fever. 
When  he  was  only  two  years  old, 
laying  in  a  special  swing,  eh  took 
his  first  automobile  ride,  three 
hundred  and  fifty  miles.  Ted,  Jr., 
is  one  of  the  three  children  they 
now  have.  There  are  Noel  and  Pa- 
tricia Wright,  the  younger  mem- 
bers of  the  family. 

Coach  Wright,  unlike  many 
young  boys,  declares  he  had  no  se- 
cret ambitions  and  he  doesn't  at- 
tribute the  choosing  of  his  career 
to  any  particular  inspiration.  Nev- 
ertheless, track  and  field  sport 
have  become  an  integral  part  of 
his  life.  His  past  achievements 
proves  this  fact. 

He  first  coached  as  an  in-serv- 
ice teacher  at  Baker  University. 
Preceding  his  graduation,  he 
taught  at  Talladega,  Ala.,  for  3 
years  and  at  Xavier  University  in 
New  Orleans,  La.,  for  14  years.  He 
came  to  Georgia  State  in  July  of 
1947.  The  Wrights  feel  that  Xavi- 
er was  one  of  the  most  interesting 
places  they  have  worked* 

"Anything  you  work  for  you 
live  it."  I  can't  contradict  the 
lidity  of  the  statement  but  this 
count  proves  the  saying  has  some 
truth.  When  the  Wrights  came  to 
Xavier  there  was  no  facilities  for 
boarding  students  and  no  publii 
relation  manager.  They  solved  the

latter  problem  by  sitting  up 
nights  after  games  and  writing 
their  sports  news  for  publication 
until  a  public  relation  manager 
was  secured.  The  athletes  needed 
a  place  to  stay  and  dining  provis- 
ions, so  Mrs.  Wright  solved  this 
problem  by  cooking  in  large  pots 
in  which  food  for  the  entire  team 
could  be  prepared.  They  went  in- 
to town  and  bought  silverware 
and  dishes.  They  quartered  the 
team  in  their  home  and  through 
the  season  was  spent  with  much 
discomfort,  it  proves  where  there's 
a  will  there's  a  way.  The  Wrights 
at  Xavier,  like  early  pioneers, 
proved  man  can  defeat  adverse 
circumstances.  The  next  year  the 
school  system  was  improved. 

At  Xavier,  Coach  Wright  devel- 
oped many  of  his  prized  athletes. 
Boys  who  became  national  cham- 
pions. One  of  them  being  Jimmy 
McDaniel  of  Los  Angeles,  who  be- 
came the  first  Negro  in  history  to 
hold  the  title  of  National  Singles 
Tennis  champion.  Another  cham- 
pion was  James  Cowen,  who  play- 
ed in  championship  matches.  He 
formed  a  crack  basketball  squad, 
"the  Ambassadors'. 

This  team  was  the  championship 
team  for  three  years.  "This  i 
one  of  the  greatest  teams  of  all 
times,"  proudly  states  Coach 
Wright.  He  spoke  enthusiastically 
of  these  achievements.  The  cham- 
pionship qualities  of  his  team  is 
largely  due,  as  he  puts  it,  "we  have 
a  love  for  sports  and  children." 
About  his  career  and  why  he  fa- 
vored coaching,  he  said,  "I  don't 
know,  I  like  it,  and  I'm  interested 
in  the  students." 

His  philosophy  is  mainly  con- 
cerned with  helping  the  children 
and  he  practices  what  he  preaches, 
He  has  helped  mold  the  lives  of 
more  than  five  hundred  boys  who 


are  now  very  successful  men  in 
all  walks  of  life.  He  refers  with 
pride  to  Professor  0.  L.  Douglas, 
principal  of  Beach-Cuyler  here  in 
Savannah.  He  has  aided  18  boys 
and  girls  by  financing  their  way 
through  school.  Students  who  face 
suspension  due  to  financial  disa- 
bility, were  snatched  from  hope- 
less despair  by  the  kindly  Wrights. 
They  remembered  times  when  they 
were  so  enchanted  in  their  work 
they  failed  to  eat  sufficiently  for 
a  couple  of  days. 

The  Wrights  get  the  prizes  for 
miles  traveled.  They  have  been  in 
every  state  in  the  Union  except 
one.  In  traveling  they  have  gained 
intimate  relationship  with  well 
known  personalities  as:  Faye 
Young  and  Chest  Washington,  Ric 
Roberts,  Marian  Jackson,  and 
many  other  sports  writers. 

Social  affairs  get  little  attention 
from  the  Wrights,  since  their 
lives  are  a  merry-go-round  of  ac- 
tivities. Mr.  Wright  coaches  all  the 
track  and  field  games  which  gives 
him  a  year-round  job.  Their  phi- 
losophies are  in  L  connection  with 
children,  which  explains  their  kind 
deeds. 

"We  would  want  to  be  by  other 
parent's  children  as  we  would  want 
them  to  be  by  ours.  We  are  nat- 
urally interested  in  young  people." 
They  like  dances  but  seldom  find 
time  to  attend  them.  Mrs.  Wright 
plays  for  informal  gatherings  of- 
ten. Their  inactiveness  in  social 
affairs  is  not  only  due  to  the  time 
required  to  effect  success  in  Coach 
Wright's  field  but  they  believe 
what  they  are  doing  is  more  im- 
portant than  other  things. 

Can  you  conceive  of  people  so 
gallant,  so  conscious  of  their  fel- 
low man's  welfare  being  called 
selfish?  Our  human  relationships 
would  be  a  lot  better  if  we  all  were 


as  generous  and  unselfish. 

Many  of  the  boys  call  M..  and 
Mrs.  Wright  "Robe  and  Mom",  the 
reason  for  the  former  title  could 
not  be  determined.  This  reveals  the 
intimate  relations  that  exist  be- 
tween  coach  and  player — this  is 
the  kind  of  unity  that  builds  great 
teams. 

I  have  attempted  to  share  with 
you  the  experiences  of  some  of 
God's  finest  people.  I  hope  you  be- 
lieve as  I  do  that  Coach  Wright  is 
more  than  a  gieat  coach.  The  fact 
that  the  boys  he  coaches  value  his 
opinion  and  judgment;  allow  hin 
to  share  their  most  precious  se- 
crets and  difficult  problems.  The 
fact  that  their  home  is  always 
open  to  provide  a  welcome,  friend- 
ly, home-like  atmosphere  for  those 
away  from  home,  proves  that  he  is 
a  father  to  humanity. 

Now  you  know  a  favorite  collegi 
family.  YOU  KNOW  THE 
WRIGHTS!

Open  Columbia 
U.  This  Summer 

six-weeks  session  in  Europe 
for  next  summer  has  just  been  ar- 
■anged  by  the  New  School  for  So- 
cial Science  in  New  York  in  co- 
operation with  World  Study  tours, 
Columbia  University  Travel  Serv- 
ice. The  purpose  of  the  session, 
according  to  President  Bryan  J. 
Hovde  of  the  New  School  is  two- 
fold,— "to  afford  American  stu- 
dents the  opportunity  to  study  po- 
litical and  economic  conditions  at 
first  hand  in  this  time  of  crisis, 
and  thus  to  gain  a  clearer  insight 
into  existing  problems,  and  sec- 
ond to  advance  the  cause  of  inter- 
national understanding  through 
the  free  mingling  with  peoples  of 
other  lands."  Special  emphasis 
will  be  laid  on  the  political  and 
economic  aspects  of  the  European 
Recovery  Program  and  the  work 
of  the  United  Nations'  Ecnomic 
Commission  for  Europe,  East- 
West  relations  and  the  problems 
of  Germany. 

The  New  School  for  Social  Re- 
search, lanking  institution  for 
higher  adult  education  in  the 
country,  offers  over  300  courses 
each  term  to  some  7000  students, 
many  of  whom  are  working  for 
bachelor's  and  advanced  degrees. 
The  New  School  faculty  is  a  dis- 
tinguished one,  composed  of  many 
international  schools  drawn  from 
leading  universities  both  in  this 
country  and  in  Europe. 

The  summer  session  will  be  held 
in  three  European  cities,  an  Eng- 
lish industrial  city  to  be  selected, 
Paris,  and  Annecy,  France,  near 
Geneva.  Three  separate  groups  of 
approximately  seventy  students 
each  will  visit  each  country  for 
two  weeks,  studying  under  lead- 
ing American  scholars  assisted  by 
European  professors  and  experts. 
Graduate,  undergraduate  and 
"alertness"  credit  may  be  earned. 
Non-credit  students  will  not  be 
accepted. 

In  addition  to  attending  classes 
for  six  weeks,  every  student  will 
visit  London  and  take  a  bus  trip 
from  Annecy  to  Brussels  via 
Berne,  Basle.  Mulhouse,  Stras- 
bourg, Saarbruck,  Luxembourg, 
Cologne  and  Essen.  Each  student 
will  be  given  one  week  off  to  go 
where  he  pleases. 

Three  courses  of  30  hours  each 
will  be  offered.  These  will  consist 
of  a  general  or  orientation  course 
on  the  history  and  culture  of  the 
countries  visited,  a  course  on  the 
political  and  current  problems  of 
England,  France,  Switzerland  and 
Central  Europe.  A  member  of  the 
New  School  faculty  will  be  in 
charge  of  the  orientation  program 
in  each  center  and  will  call  upon 
visiting  lecturers  selected  from 
local  universities  and  experts  in 
various  fields.  A  political  scien- 
tist and  an  economist  from  the 
New  School  will  accompany  each 
group  for  the  entire  session.  Lec- 
tures will  be  supplemented  by  vis- 
its and  field  trips  to  cultural  cen- 
ters, industrial  plants,  schools, 
government  agencies  and  the  like. 

The  first  group,  to  be  made  up 
largely  of  teachers  working  for 
"alertness"  or  additional  credit, 
will  leave  the  United  States  on 
July  5,  returning  September  4  in 
time  for  the  opening  of  public 
schools;  the  second  group,  open  to 
undergraduates  of  at  least  junior 
standing  working  for  their  Bache- 
lor's degree,  will  leave  on  July  6, 
arriving  home,  September  6;  the 
third  group,  limited  to  graduate 
students,  departs  July  15  and  gets 
back  on  September  20. 

Travel  to  and  from  the  United 
States  will  be  by  chartered  planes,

Student  Activities  Hold  Spotlight 


"Toki"  Women's 
Council  Guest 

"Some  people  come  into  the 
world  possessing  charm,"  Mrs. 
Toki  Schalk  Johnson,  said  Sun- 
day, April  10  as  she  delivered  the 
opening  address  as  the  Women's 
Council  of  Georgia  State  College 
held  its  initial  program  of  its 
fourth  annual  Charm  Week  ob- 
servance. 

The  women's  editor  of  Americas' 
largest  Negro  newspaper  added 
that  there  are  others  who  must 
develop  charm.  You  must  have 
the  fundamental  quality  of  hu- 
mility ...  if  you  desire  charm, 
Mrs.  Johnson   said. 

"Charm  is  something  that 
reaches  out.  Shy  people  who  have 
forced  themselves  or  have  been 
forced  to  come  to  college  very  ral- 
ly possess  charm.  In  college  it  is 
impossible  to  shelter  yourself  from 
other  people.  College  students  or 
people  in  general  are  not  inter- 
ested in  your  happiness.  If  you've 
got  to  complain,  go  into  your  own 
room  to  do  so. 

"The  ability  to  walk  into  a  door- 
way with  your  head  up  denotes 
pride  .  .  .  and  pride  is  funda- 
mentally important  along  with 
charm.  Education  is  necessary  to 
bring  out  <jnVrm,  Read  everything 
that  you  can  get  such  as  Seventeen 
and  Mademoiselle. 

Mrs.  Johnson  then  listed  several 
items  which  she  termed  hints." 
They  included: 

1.  Choose  your  clothes  careful- 
ly, (2)  Keep  your  figure,  (3)  Be 
careful  in  your  makeup,  (4)  be 
as  charming  at  home  as  away  and 
(5)  have  faith  in  yourself.

Contests  sponsored  by  Georgia  State  College  were  held

Throughout  the  Spelling  Contest  the  audience  was  held 
spellbound  as  Adolphus  Carter,  Beach-Cuyler,  Savannah  stu- 
dent spelled  words  upon  words  to  win  his  second  spelling 
crowd  in  as  many  years  on  Friday  afternoon,  March  25.

Ingraham  High  School,  Sparta, 
Ga.,  spoke  her  way  into  the  many 
hearts  within  the  audience,  and  on

The  college  band  under  the  di- 
rection of  Bandmaster  J.  J.  Bal- 
lou  was  featured  recently  in  a 
concert  in   Meldrium-  Auditorium. 

The  band  displayed  unprecedent- 
ed musical  ability  which  caused 
proud  rounds  of  applause  to  pro- 
ceed each  rendition.  It  was  notic- 
ed that  the  band  possessed  a  num- 
ber of  new  instruments  that  fur- 
ther contributed  to  its  perform- 
ance. The  group  effectively  play- 
ed from  its  repertoire  such  num- 
bers as  Georgia  Gershwins  "The 
Man  I  Love,"  "Yale,"  college  song 
and  a  number  of  spirited  marches 
.  .  .  Maestro  Ballon  with  grace- 
ful bows,  acknowledged  the  ap- 
plause of  the  audience.  He  was 
rewarded  for  the  long  hours  he 
had  devoted  to  developing  the  type

Religious  Emphasis  Week  At 
ie  a  Success 


the  Religious  Emphasis  Week  a 
success. 

The  national  evangelist  sppke  to 
his  Radio  audience  on  the  subject, 
"Something  To  Live  By."  The 
able  minister  concerned  himself 
with  the  importance  of  man's 
seeking  a  goal  in  life  and  having 
a  principle  to  guide  him  through 
life.  He  climaxed  his  address  by 
stating :  "Men  die  because  they 
have  nothing  to  live  by.  Even 
though  they  don't  die  physically, 
they  die  spiritually." 

The  gospel  prophet  expounded 
the  truth  that  unless  man  can  lay 
hold  upon  faith  in  God,  he  has 
nothing  to  live  by.  He  concluded 
with  this  challenge;  "The  world 
dies  because  it  has  nothing  to  live 
by.  Even  those  who  do  not  lan- 
guish and  destroy  themselves  phy- 
sically, die  spiritually.  In  desper- 
ation men  about  themselves,  try-

COLLEGE  AND  BECOME  A  PART  OF  THIS  FAMILY 
.  .  .  A  FAMILY  DEDICATED  TO  PUBLIC  SERVICE  .  ■  . 


An  Editorial 

This  issue  of  THE  TIGER'S  ROAR,  designated  as  the 
High  School  Edition,  is  designed  primarily  for  high  school 
students  who  are  desirous  of  information  about  and  with 
■a  view  toward  entering  Georgia  State  College. 

In  it  we  are  attempting  to  take  YOU  behind  the  scenes 
of  Georgia  State  College.  This  is  done  in  two  ways,  via  use 
of  our  Speed  Graphic  camera,  and  personal  messages  from 
the  President,  the  Dean  of  Faculty,  division  heads,  depart- 
ment heads,  members  of  the  faculty  and  the  students 
themselves. 

We  thimk  Georgia  State  College  is  a  swell  place  to  go 
to  college.  YOU'LL  find  that  its  cordial  at  all  times  and 
its  family  dedicated   to  public   service. 

Possessing  one  of  the  strongest  faculties  in  this  section ; 
one  that  is  being  strengthened  at  every  available  oppor- 
tunity, Georgia  State  CoL'^ge  is  equipped  to  develop  the 
total  individual.  Th  College  is  concerned  that  each  student 
live  deeply  and  happily  as  a  socially  balanced,  spiritually 
mature  person. 

Georgia  State  College  is  located  five  miles  from  Sa- 
vannah in  the  township  of  Thunderbolt.  Savannah  is  rich 
in  historical  literature  and  presently  is  Georgia's  largest  and 
chief  seaport. 

The  palm-lined,  moss-ladened  campus  stamps  itself  as 
the  most  beautiful  campus  in  this  area.  Its  natural  beauty 
is  unique  in  itself.  All  this  lends  itself  to  a  wholesome  and 
pleasant   atmosphere  for  study. 

Georgia  State  College  was  established  by  the  legislature 
of  1890  in  connection  with  the  State  University  for  the  edu- 
cation and  training  of  Negro  students.  It  is  a  four-year 
institution  supported  through  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the 
University  System  of  Georgia  and  accredited  by  the  South- 
ern Association  of  Colleges  and  Secondary  Schools  and  the 
State  Department  of  Education. 

Cultural  development  is  but  one  phase  of  life  on  the 
campus.  The  committee  on  cultural  activities  brings  to  the 
campus  through  its  music,  art,  and  lecture  series  world- 
renowned  artists  of  the  concert  stage  and  significant  writers 
and  thinkers  of  our  time.  Special  programs  planned  for 
each  quarter  bring  top-flight  performers  to  the  College 
Community.  Campus  music  groups  provide  additional  op- 
portunities for  enjoyment  through  concerts,  speciftl  appear- 
ances, and  broadcasts. 

Opportunities  for  worship  and  for  the  development  of 
Christian  idealism  are  offered  the  students  at  Georgia  State 
College.  The  College  sponsors  a  Protestant  service  each 
Sunday  morning,  a  mass  for  Catholic  students,  and  a  Vesper 
Hour  each  Sunday  evening.  , 


An  Opportunity 
To  Serve 

By 
PAUL  L.   HOWARD 

The  coming  years  offer  to  the 
young  college-trained  man  or  wom- 
an an  unlimited  chance  to  serve 
his  fellow-citizens.  For,  at  least 
the  next  decade,  we  will  find  our- 
selves confronted  with  vast  and 
far-reaching  alternations  in  the 
cultural,  economic,  and  political 
patterns  of  this  country  as  well 
as  the  world  at  large.  These 
changes,  without  a  doubt,  will  af- 
fect every  community  in  the  na- 
tion; and  in  many  instances  the 
effect  will  not  be  favorable  to  the 
easily-disturbed  masses  of  people. 
Confusion  will  be  the  spirit  of  the 
times. 

Such  a  situation  will  call  for 
trained  men  of  integrity  who  stand 
for  right,  men  who  believe  in  the 
equality  of  human  dignity.  But 
above  all,  the  situation  will  call 
for  unselfish  men,  men  who  de- 
rive joy  from  serving  and  helping 
their  fellowmen. 

The  young  professional  Negro 
man,  regardless  of  hie  particular 
field  of  endeavor,  must  play  an 
active,  helpful  role  in  the  civic 
program  of  his  community.  And. 
f  the  existing  program  does  not 
meet  the  needs  of  the  people,  it 
lis  moral  duty  to  use  every 
ounce  of  his  influence  and  knowl- 
edge in  the  realization  of  a  pro 
gram  that  does.  He  cannot  ren- 
der such  services  unless  he  meets 
the  above  knowledge  of  certain 
techniques    of   leadership    as    well 

At   present,   as   in   the  past,   too 

any  Negro  youths  motivated  by 
selfishness  enter  colleges  and  uni- 
versities. The  results  is  that  our 
■ace  lacks  a  sufficient  number  of 
ntelligent,  sincere  leaders,  Col- 
lege-trained Negroes  in  hundreds 
of  small  towns  concern  themselves 
only  with  personal  gain,  so  that 
today  the  masses  of  Negroea  live 
n  a  state  of  confusion.  The  col- 
ege-trained  man  who  concerns 
himself  only  with  personal  gains, 
and  works  for  narrow  ends  is  ex- 
ploiting his  real  function  or  is 
ignorant  of  his  duty.  A  college- 
irained  man  should .  work  for  the 
[■tegration  of  society  and  for  the 
ettermen   of   his  fellowman. 

The  question  is  not  whether  or 
not  he  will  desert  his  opportunity 
for  security  entirely  in  order  to 
render  free  service.  The  question 
s  merely;  will  he  help  his  race, 
ir  will  be  exploit  and  hinder  his 
i-ace? 

Only  the  individual  student  can 
decide  for  himself  the  manner  in 
which  he  will  answer.  Fifteen  mil- 
lion Negroes  are  waiting  for  your 
answer.

Tax  Referendum 
Rejected 

The  rejection  of  the  tax  refer- 
endum on  April  6,  clearly  illus- 
trates the  feeling  of  a  populace 
already  over-burdened  with  high 
taxes  which  are  not  uniform  with 
the  earning  power  of  the  average 
citizen;  likewise,  it  was  a  rejec- 
tion of  any  form  of  sales  tax  and 
the  nuisances  which  usually  go 
along   with   this   type   of   tax. 

The  overall  tax  program  would 
have  been  a  burden  to  the  public; 
however,  this  does  not  say  that 
the  public  is  not  in  favor  of  im- 
proving health  and  educational  fa- 
cilities throughout  the  state.  Had 
the  voters  been  allowed  to  vote 
for  the  program  in  part  the  re- 
sult would  have  heen  far  more 
favorable. 

Our  Legislature  should  here- 
after use  the  pass  episode  as  an 
example  in  any  other  referendum 
to  be  placed  before  the  public.  At 
least  two  methods  of  taxation 
should  be  included  along  with  pro 
visions  to  vote  in-part  for  oi 
against  the  different  utilities  to 
be  improved  through  increased 
taxation. 

A  referendum  on  the  same 
sues  and  patterned  along  the  lines 
of  the  preceding  suggestions  would 
possibly  have  a  result  in  favor  of 
taxes  for  health  and  educational 
improvements  instead  of  a  com' 
plete  rejection  by  such  a  large 
majority.  MOST  PARENTS  DE-

The  Editor  Speaks 

I  am  sure  you  will  agree  with 
me  that  the  student  newspaper 
is  an  indispensable  organ  in  the 
college  program.  Through  it  acti- 
vities .  .  .  can  be  publicized.  To 
the  college  student  I  have  found 
that  a  student  paper  is  a  co-op- 
erative function,  an  activity  that 
everyone  can  help  make  directly 
or  indirectly  a  success.  It  is  the 
student    body's    prize    possession. 

The  Tiger's  Roar  exchange  sys- 
tem, this  year,  has  been  developed 
to  a  very  high  degree.  We  may 
note  here  that  this  is  the  first 
time  Georgia  State  College,  stu- 
dents operated  an  exchange  sys- 
tem. At  present  the  system  in- 
cludes such  institutions  as  Fisk 
University,  Virginia  State,  South- 
ern University,  Albany  State,  and 
the  University  of  South  Dakota, 
and  over  one  hundred  other  col- 
leges and  universities  in  the  coun- 
try. 

The  student  newspaper  affords 
the  English  or  journalism  student 
an  opportunity  for  practical  ap- 
plication of  his  ability.  Even  the 
pure  journalists  who  writes  for  the 
sake  of  the  art  receives  the  ex- 
perience and  benefit  in  this  inter- 
esting field.  He  learns  to  speak 
correctly  and  clearly  when  doing 
interviews.  He  comes  in  contact 
with  a  great  cross  section  of  hu- 
man personality. 

There  is  a  critical  shortage  of 
well  trained  Negroes  in  this  field. 
The  student  who  works  with  the 
school  paper  obtains  a  wealth 
of  knowledge  about  journalism.  He 
gets  the  knack  of  the  atmosphere 
and  if  he  likes  it,  "won  another 
journalist.  "Being  exposed  to  thi3 
kind  of  activity  means  a  lot  to 
the  student.  He  becomes  alert, 
neat,  and  critical.  He  learns  to 
observe  and  most  of  all  to  think 
constructively.  One  of  the  main 
qualifications  of  a  journalist  is 
to  be  accurate.

they  feel  must  be  something 
which  one  can  see  and  manipulate. 
Hence  far  too  many  of  us  force 
ourselves  to  be  satisfied  with 
things  that  are  not  big  enough  to 
inspire  our  supreme  devotion. 
Family,  social  group,  race,  religi- 
ous sect — none  of  these  partial  loy- 
alties are  either  full  controllable 
or  passably  satisfying  .  .  ."

participated  in  the  Religious  Em-

FILED  WORK 

Some  of  the  seniors  were  out

ter at  various  places.  Here  is  hop- 
ing that  all  of  them  came  out 
successfully.  Mrs.  Blanche  B.  Wil-

of  you  good  luck  and  hope  that 
you,  too  will  come  out  s

also  for- 1  will  be  at  Beach  High 
in  the  English   Department. 

On  Friday  evening,  January  28. 
in  Wilcox  gymnasium,  the  mem- 
bers of  Georgia  State  College 
Family  presented  a  dance  to  aid 
in  the  drive  for  Infantile  Paralysis 
which  was  put  over  in  a  big  way. 

Joe  Bristow  and  his  Bee-Bop 
Band  furnished  the  music  for  this 
affair  and,  as  always,  the  music 
was  swell  and  enjoyed  by  thi 
crowd  that  attended.

drim  Auditorium,  Friday  evening, 
February  4,  which  was  enjoyed 
by  every  one  who  was  there. 
BEACH   HIGH  STUDENTS 

I  see  that  we  have  quite  a  num- 
ber of  studen.ts  who'  graduated  in

there  include:  Crawfort  and  Albert 
Bryant,  Perry  "Spud"  Williams, 
■  Charles  Wardlaw,  Ted  Holmes,  and 
Joe  ^Turner. 

The  game  was  very  good  even 
though  we  lost  with  a  score  of 
40-49.  There  is  a  tie  between  the 
two  teams  for  we  beat  them  at 
home  and  they  beat  us  there. 
Seemingly,  both  teams  are  very 
good. 
WOMEN   COUNCIL

Jackson  certainly  did  a  wonderful 
job  of  sinking  Trees.  It  was 
well  done  iliat  he  was  requested 
to  sing  it  rnrain.  Mr.  Forster  w: 
at  his  best  in  singing  Stardust

Campus  Community 
Club   Organized 

By  M.  G.  Harrison 

^S'he  women  of  the  faculty,  wives 
of  faculty  members  and  women  of 
the  immediate  community  have  or- 
ganized themselves  into  the  Camp- 
us Community  Club.  The  officers  of 
this  group  are  Mrs.  W.  W.  Colston, 
President;  Mrs.  M.  G.  Haynes,  vice-

porter. , 

During  the  month  of  December 
the  club  members  collected  and 
wrapped  gifts  for  the  girls  in  the 
protective  home  located  just  off 
the  campus.  We  also  actively  par- 
ticipated in  the  Christmas  cele- 
bration for  the  children  of  Thun- 
der bolt.  This  program  was  given 
on  our  campus,  at  the  campus

Everybody's 
Business 

Gess,  this  weather  certainly  is 
changeable.  However,  it  doesn't 
affect  the  love  birds  any,  be  it  cold, 
warm,  hot,  or  rainy.  Lately,  we 
have  been  having  some  lovely 
weather  and  the  guys  and  gals 
are  really  taking  the  advantage 
of  it. 

Let  me  tell  you  gone  people  a 
thing  or  two.  Listen  now  while  I 
do  the  gabbing,  Girls,  for  every 
woman  who  makes  a  fool  out  of  a 
man,  there  is  another  woman  who 
makes  a  man  out  of  a  fool.  So — 
don't  try  that  out  for  you'll  end 
up  being  sorry.  Did  you  girls 
know  that  there  are  only  two  kind 
men?  Well  there  are  —  for 
there  are  those  who  love  women, 
and  these  make  you  unhappy; 
those  who  do  not  love  women,  and 
these  bore  you.  Now  isn't  that 
the  truth?  Now  boys,  remember 
this  and  think  about  it:  What  you 
do  for  a  woman,  she  may  forget, 
but  what  you  have  failed  to  do, 
that  will  she  always  remember. 
How  true — how  true.  Pick  up  now 
guys  and  don't  say  that  I  didn't 
warn  you.

worthy  of  these  nationally  known 
organizations."

His  students  are  required  to  work 
with  the  school  paper.  His  courses 
are  well  organized  to  embody

school     experiences.     You     are 
especially   to   be   congratulated    on 
this  milestone  in  your  educational 
development  because  you  have  been 
willing     to     stick     to     a     task— to 
realize  its  completion— while  many 
who  started  with  you  in  the  early 
years  of  their  education  have  drop- 
ped   by    the    wayside-   Your    com- 
munity,  your   state   and    your   na- 
tion therefore  depend   on  you,  be- 
cause of  the  ability  you  have  dem- 
onstrated,  to   continue   to    develop 
your  talents  so  that  you  can  make 
a  maximum  contribution  to  society. 
Going  on  to  college  is  a  method 
of     continuing      achievement     for 
some   of  you   and  I   urge   that   all 
of  you  who  have  the  interest  and 
ability  to   make    plans   in  that  di- 
rections.    Georgia     State     College

able,   I   am   sure,   to   contribute   to 
your  development  should  you  select 
it  as   the   college    of   your    choice.

the    many    extracurricular    activi- 
ties, a  sympathetic  Administration, 
a  well-prepared  faculty,  and  most 
pleasant      surroundings      are      all 
available    at    our    institution.    We 
extend   to'  you   a  most  cordial   in- 
vitation to  consider  Georgia  State 
College    as   you   study  educational 
services   available  to  you. 

Felicitations  and  best  wishes  to 
you  on  your  graduation  from  high 
school! 


The  Library 


The  Georgia  State  College  Li- 
brary encourages  all  students  to 
read  widely  in  the  field  of  fiction 
and  non-fiction.  It  functions  as  a 
center  through  which  students  are 
enable  to  carry  on  many  of  their 
study  and  recreational  activities, 
The  growing  collection  of  approxi- 
mately 15,00  books  is  supplement- 
ed by  170  magazines,  15  news- 
papers and  a  number  of  pamphlets 
At  the  beginning  of  each  stu- 
dents' college  career  he  or  she 
receives  class  room  instruction  in 
the  use  of  the  library.  A  printed 
handbook  serves  further  to  ac- 
quaint them  with  the  needed  re- 
sources provided  by  the  library. 
Whenever  needed,  the  staff  gives 
individual    instruction    in    the    use

W.   B.   Nelson,   Director, 


The  English  Department 

Mr.  J.  Randolph  Fisher  believes 
that  the  future  will  provide  bet- 
ter opportunities  to  professionals 
who  can  speak  the  English  lan- 
guage effectively.  The  Howard 
University  graduate  listed  the  Ob- 
jectives of  the  English  Depart- 
ment as  follows: 

The  aim  of  the  Department  of 
Language  and  Literature  is  to  help 
the  student  become  proficient  in 
oral  and  written  language,  and 
to  help  him  develop  an  apprecia- 
tion for  good  literature. 

A  student  who  has  successfully 
pursued  English  as  his  major  sub- 
ject should  have  some  power  to 
discriminate  between  that  which 
is  genuinely  great  and  that  which 
is  less  great  in  literature,  should 
have  an  intelligent  acquaintance 
with  a  fair  number  of  English 
masterpieces,  should  have  some 
facility,  taste  and  understanding  in 
expression,  and  should  have  some 
idea  of  the  main  trends  of  Eng- 
lish and  American  thought. 

All  freshman  students  are  giv- 
en a  placement  test  in  English. 
Those  passing  the  test  enter  Eng- 
lish 101;  those  who  fail  are  plac- 
ed in  non-credit  groups  accord- 
ing to  the  score  made  in  the  test. 
If  at  the  end  of  the  quarter  a 
student  passes  the  test  and  has 
done  creditable  work,  he  is  given 
credit  for  his  work  and  is  allowed 
to  take  English  102.  Students  are 
required  to  pass  the  test  before 
they  receive  credit  for  their  work. 
Students  who  show  a  very  high 
proficiency  may  be  allowed  to  en 
ter    English   102. 

A  student  majoring  in  English 
Language  and  Literature  must 
take  55  credits  in  the  course  in 
language,  composition,  literature 
and  speech  offered  by  the  Depart- 
ment. A  minor  in  English  requires 
45  credits  for  completion.  Not 
more  than  one  course  in  composi- 
tion may  be  taken  at  a  time.  The 
specific  courses  requirements  for 
both  major,  and  minor  are  the 
best  and  written  by  the  best  rec 
ognized  authors.

The  Dean  of  Faculty 

The  organization  of  the  modern 
college  is  like  many  other  insti- 
tutions- The  college  has  developed 
its  present  pattern  or  organization 
to  meet  specific  needs  in  the  pro- 
gram of  higher  education.  The 
growth  of  colleges  in  size  and 
services  has  made  it  necessary  for 
the  President  of  the  college  to  al- 
locate certain  functions  to  other 
members  of  the  faculty.  These' 
other  staff  members,  along  with 
the  President,  are  known  as  the 
administrative  staff  of  the  college. 
The  Dean  of  Faculty  of  Georgia 
State  College,  with  the  members 
of  the  instructional  staff,  is  re- 
sponsible for  "the  instruction  pro- 
gram of  the  CoUege.  He  is  ex- 
pected to  coordinate  the  work  of 
the  four  major  divisions  of  the  in- 
stitution— agriculture,  arts  and 
sciences,  home  economics  and 
trades  and  industries.  In  the  per- 
formance of  these  duties  he  is 
actively  concerned  with  the  pro- 
motion and  development  of  good 
scholarship,  good  teaching,  effec- 
tive curricula,  and  the  administra- 
tion of  such  rules  and  regulations 
as  the  faculty  shall  make  relative 
to    the    academic    program. 

In  addition  to  the  foregoing 
duties  the  Dean  of  Faculty  co- 
operates with  other  officers  and 
instructors  in  providing  oppor- 
tunities for  maximum  growth  and 
development  of  each  student.  In 
this  phase  of  the  program  he  gives 
attention  to  student  loads,  at- 
tendance, success  in  classes,  pro- 
gress in  college,  and  problems  af- 
fecting the  student's  scholastic 
life.

Department  of  Education 

The  Department  of  Education  is 
organized  to  provide  instruction 
and  guidance  for  students  who 
plan  to  enter  the  teaching  profes- 
sion. It  is  an  administrative  unit 
in  which  a  major  program  is  of- 
fered in  the  field  of  elementary 
education.  Students  who  plan  to 
teach  on  the  secondary  level  select 
their  majors  in  the  content  sub- 
jects such  as  English,  mathema- 
tics, social  science,  chemistry,  bi- 
ology, etc.  To  these  students  the 
Department  of  Education  functions 
in  an  advisory  capacity.  The  De- 
partment plans  and  directs  the 
professional  education  program  of 
the  prospective  teachers.  Informa- 
tion relating  to  certification  and 
supply  and  demand  of  teachers  on 
the  various  levels  is  kept  up  to 
date. 

W.   K.   PAYNE 
Director 


Georgia  State  College  is  com- 
mitted to  the  idea  of  meeting  the 
professional  needs  of  in-service 
and  pre-service  teachers.  Con- 
tinuous studies  of  the  needs  of 
schools  and  teachers  in  Georgia 
are  carried  on  by  the  college  in 
order  that  the  program  may  be 
geared  to  current  demands  for 
teachers  in  the  state. 

Students  desiring  to  prepare  for 
teaching  careers  will  find  at  Geor- 
gia State  rich  opportunities  to 
gain  skill  in  using  a  variety  of 
teaching  skills  and  methods.  An 
Education  Laboratory,  operating  in 
conjunction  with  an  Audio-Visual 
Center,  a  Reading  Clinic,  and  an 
Art  Center,  insure  opportunities 
for  capable  students  to  become 
superior  teachers.  A  field  experi- 
ence during  the  sophomore  year 
enables  the  student  to  get  first- 
hand information  regarding  the 
problems  of  teaching  which  the 
3tudent  can  use  in  planning  his 
work  during  his  last  three  years. 
The  student  receives  steady  help 
ih  the  use  of  techniques  for  furth- 
ering good  human  relations  in  the 
classroom  and  community.  A  col- 
lege placement  service  seeks  to 
locate  employment  opportunities 
for  qualified  teachers.

The  College  Minister 

The  greatest  part  of  our  ad- 
vancement comes  through  Religion. 
Here  at  Georgia  State  College  is 
one  of  the  best  men  in  this  modern 
era  of  religion;  he  is  the  Rev. 
Ernest  J.  Armstrong,  college  min- 
ister. When  interviewed  he  map- 
ed   his   program   as   follows:    , 

1.  To  help  students  develop  "an 
attitude   born   of   religion." 

2.  To  help  develop  students  who 
vill  be  constructively  critical  of 
'seclarism  of  our  age-" 

"In  order  to  achieve  these  ob- 
jectives, the  College  Minister 
works  with  a  student-faculty  com- 
mittee of  Religious  Life,  appoint- 
ed by  the  president,  to  develop, 
interpret,  and  execute  the  follow- 
ing program  which  is  coordinated 
with  the  program  of  the  Office 
of   Student   Personnel    Service. 

1.  Personal  Counseling  is  one 
of  the  major  activities  of  the  col- 
lege minister.  Counseling  with  stu- 
dents is  approached  in  a  variety 
of  ways  and  in  a  number  of  places, 
such  as:  in  his  office,  walking 
across  the  campus,  riding  to  or 
from  town,  at  social  gatherings, 
in  the  dining  room  and  College 
Inn,  in  the  infirmary  and  hospital, 
Rev.  Armstrong  said.  However, 
students  should  take  advantage  of 
the  regular  office  hours  for  coun- 
seling, he  added. 

2.  The  Sunday  Morning  All- 
College  Religious  Worship  has  no 
substitute  in  a  college  community. 
An  experience  of  corporate  (large 
group)  worship  reinforces  one's 
confidence  in  himself,  faith  in  his 
fellowman,  and  trust  in  his  God. 
Our  worship  service  deals  with 
some  of  the  major  areas  of  re- 
ligious thoughts,  such  as:  The 
meaning  of  God  in  Human  Ex- 
perience; The  place  of  the  teach- 
ings of  Jesus  in  our  life  as  Col- 
lege people;  A  Knowledge  of  and 
appreciation  for  the  world's  Liv-

READING  CLINIC  AT  GSC  UNIQUE 


Seeks  To 

Help  Students 

By   Hosea  J.   Lofton 

There  are  great  numbers  of  peo- 
ple suffering  from  an  inability  to 
'understand  the  printed  page. 
Though  they  may  not  realize  it, 
this  deficiency  seriously  hampers 
their  chance  for  normal  adjust- 
ment to  our  complex  society,  since 
the  written  word  is  one  of  foui 
chief  modes  of  mass  communica- 
tion. Realizing  the  acute  need 
of  students  for  ■special  training  in 
this  area,  Georgia  State  College 
has  made  available  a  Reading 
■Clinic  directed  by  Mrs.  E.  R.  Cun- 
ningham. 

The  purpose  of  the  clinic  is  to 
train  students  through  tested  sys- 
tematic processes  so  that  the  gen- 
eral ability  to  read  efficiently  can 
be  improved.  Students  are  urged 
to  use  the  services  of  the  Reading 
Clinic  to  improve  their  readi 
ability.  Improvement  can  be  made 
in  comprehension,  accuracy,  and 
speed  of  reading.  There  are  vart 
ous  methods  by  which  these  aims 
are  accomplished,  and  we  will  t 
sider  them   here. 

Diagnosis   Used  in   The  Clin 

Standardized  tests  administered 
to  each  clinical  patient  are  divided 
into  the  following  divisions:  rate 
of  reading,  comprehension, 
ed  reading,  poetry  comprehension, 
word  meaning,  sentence  meaning, 
paragraph  comprehension,  and  lo- 
cation of  information.  The  result 
of  each  test  is  filed  as  reference 
data.  Each  student  learns  from 
this  his  weaknesses  and  begins  im- 
mediately to  work  on  these  points. 
Then  the  director  employs  the  aid 
of  precision  instruments  which 
reveal  other  reading  faults  of  the 
patient.  These  instruments  are 
listed  in  the  usual  order  of  their 
use. 
Instruments    Used  in  the   Ch 

The  Recording  Machine  is  used 
to  record  the  patient's  reading 
voice.  Errors  in  phrasing,  pro- 
nunciation of  words,  enunciation 
and  reading  with  understanding 
are  clearly  shown  through  this 
means.  Best  of  all,  each  patient 
hears  how  he  sounds  to  others  as 
he  reads.  He  has  two  recording: 
—  one  at  the  beginning  of  the 
course  when  he  is  untrained,  and 
the  second  at  the  end  of  the 
after  training.  In  this  way  he 
can  actually  "hear"  his  improve- 
ment. These  records  are  filed 
along  with  other  data  used  to  de- 
termine  the  patient's   progress. 

To  obtain  further  conclusive  evi- 
dence of  reading  handicaps,  an 
instrument  called  the  tachistoscope 
(or  flashmeter)  finds  practical  ap- 
plication. This1  is  an  instrument 
that  flashes  word,  phrases,  num- 
bers, figures,  or  paragraphs  on  a 
screen  in  fractions  of  a  second. 
The  student  learns  by  this  means 
to  recognize  words  or  groups  of 
words  as  fast  as  one-hundreths 
of  a  second.  He  increases  his 
speed  of  reading,  becomes  more 
accurate  in  recognizing  words,  and 
widens  his  eye  span. 

Another  instrument  in  the  clin- 
ic is  the  ophthalmograph  which 
takes  a  moving  picture  of  the  eye 
while  reading.  After  the  film  is 
developed,  each  patient,  with  the 
aid  of  the  instructor,  knows  his 
rate  of  reading,  his  eye  span,  the 
number  of  regressions  he  makes 
per  100  words,  the  rhythm  of  his 
reading,  and  how  well  he  com- 
prehends what  he  reads. 

A  fourth  instrument  of  vital  im- 
portance in  the  clinic  is  the  tele- 
binoocular  which  indicates  eye  dif- 
ficulty. An  accurate  record  of 
the  physical  condition  of  both  eyes 
can  be  obtained.  If  the  condition 
warrants  it,  the  student  is  advised 


to  seek  a  more  thorough  examina- 
tion by  an  experienced  optician. 
Methods  Used  in  The  Operation 
of  the  Clinic 
Now  that  these  instruments 
have  had  their  say,  the  clinic  di- 
rector has  a  clear  and  comprehen- 
sive picture  of  the  student's  defi- 
ciencies. This  information  is 
analyzed  and  separate  programs 
for  individual  use  are  worked  out 
to  facilitate  treatment  of  diffi- 
culties as  they  appear  on  the  rec- 
ord. Few  group  assignments  can 
be  issued  to  clinic  patients  since 
each  student  may  require  differ- 
ent treatment.  Tests  must  be  giv- 
en continually  to  discover  rate  of 
improvement  and  direction  of 
progress.  It  is  not  unusual  to 
find  almost  every  member  of  the 
clinic  engaging  in  a  different  ac- 
tivity. However  there  are  some 
projects  that  affect  the  entire 
group. 

Outside  assignments  consist  of 
reading  books  such  as  fiction  and 
biography.  This  procedure  not 
only  directly  influences  the  im- 
provement of  reading  skills,  but 
serves  as  a  cultural  function  by 
stimulating  the  student's  interest 
in  reading  worthwhile  books.  Thus 
the  object  becomes  not  only  a  class 
duty  but  a  healthy  habit.  A  rec- 
ord of  the  number  of  books  read, 
their  classification,  and  the  read- 
ing time  is  recorded  and  filed  by 
the  student.  The  student  learns 
through  book  reports  how  to  evalu- 
ate, criticize,  and  discuss  before 
the  class  his  books  read.  These  re- 
ports are  read  orally  once  a  week 
in  class  by  the  student.  English 
usages  and  ability  to  comprehend 
is  checked  in  this  way  since  com- 
ments and  reports  must  be  orig- 
inal. 

There  is  also  a  textbook  in  com- 
bination with  a  workbook  used  in 
the  clinic.  The  text  includes  writ- 
ings of  all  types  dealing  with  cur- 
rent topics  and  cultural  subjects 
written  by  people  from  many  walks 
of  life.  The  student  reads  the  ar- 
ticles selected  by  the  instructor 
and  enters  the  time  required  for 
his  reading  in  his  workbook.  These 
articles  are  thoroughly  discussed 
in  class  with  stress  on  the  mean- 
ing of  the  author,  the  definition 
of  word  unfamiliar  to  the  student, 
and  main  ideas  in  the  paragraphs. 
A  class  session  is  allowed  for  vo- 
cabulary extension  so  that  the 
student  can  become  familiar  with 
new  words,  their  use,  and  their 
meaning. 

Students  Conduct  Classes 
Another  educational  advantage 
is  prompted  by  the  extensive  duties 
of  the  clinic  instructor.  Because 
so  much  time  is  needed  to  check 
and  compare  records,  students  are 
appointed  in  a  democratic  manner 
to  conduct  classes  for  group  work. 
The  knowledge  gained  through  this 
experience  aids  the  student  by  giv- 
ing him  a  bird's  eye  view  of  teach- 
ing. On  days  when  there  is  n< 
group  textbook  work,  the  student 
may  do  his  "free  reading."  A 
great  volume  of  newspapers  and 
magazines  are  kept  in  stock  to  en. 
courage  and  train  the  student  in 
eading  this  type  of  material  and 
to  locate  desirable  material.  All 
of  the  more  popular  newspaper 
editions  and  magazines  are 
ceived  weekly  or  monthly  and 
placed  at  the  student's  disposal.

with  better  understanding.  The 
course  has  not  only  become  inter- 
esting, but  its  benefits  are  exten- 
sive as  well. 
Evaluating  The  Clinic's  Service 
We  can  see  by  now  that  the 
Reading  Clinic  is  almost  an  in- 
dispensiblc  department  in  tht 
school's  training  program.  Stu- 
dents, in  most  cases,  fail  to  pass 
courses  in  the  curriculum  because 
they  do  not  know  how  to  study 
effectively.  Why  is  this?  Because 
they  cannot  read  with  understand' 
ing.  They  are  often  vague  as  to 
what  the  course  and  the  daily 
signments  are  about.  There  are 
many  ways  in  which  the  Reading 
Clinic  can  and  does  aid  the  stu- 
dent to  clear  up  these  habits  of 
inefficient  reading  and  non-profit- 
able study.  The  student:body  of 
Georgia  State  College  is  proud  of 
this  very  practical  course  which 
can  be  so  helpful  and  meaningful 
to   their   everyday   living. 


Clinic 
At  first,  the  average  student 
takes  an  extremely  resentful  atti- 
tude twoard  the  reading  course.  It 
is  amazing,  however,  how  soon  he 
realizes  his  need  for  training  in 
reading.  Once  he  is  aware  of  this, 
his  attitude  changes  to  one  of  ap- 
preciation, and  he  becomes  a  living 
'testimony    to    the    fact    that    the 

course    has    taught    him    to    read  nella.    He  recalled  that  Jackie  and 
faster   with    more    efficiency    and  J  Roy  had  played  only  the  night  be- 


Dr.  Win. 
Banquet  Speaker 

The  society  fences  are  crumb- 
ling in  the  sports  world,  Dr.  Wil- 
liam M.  Boyd,  chairman  of  the 
Atlanta  University  political  science 
department  told  the  approximate- 
ly 200  men  assembled  at  the  ban- 
quet as  Georgia  State  College  ob- 
served its  second  annual  Men's 
Day  festivities, 

Speaking  to  the  group  as  last 
Saturday  evening,  April  8,  the 
outstanding  young  leader  pointed 
to  such  Negro  diamond  stars  as 
Larry  Doby,  Jackie  Robinson, 
Satchell    Paige,    and    Roy    Campa- 


fore  in  Atlanta. 

"In  the  field  of  sports  there  is 
little  room  for  the  man  who  wants 
to  stand  out  individually.  Con- 
fidence, strategy  as  well  as  skill 
of  execution  are  necessary  if  one  is 
to  get  co-operation,"  Dr.  Boyd 
declared. 

The  college  student  must  de- 
velop a  sense  of  social,  and  civic 
responsibility.  There  are  many 
things  to  be  learned  from  sports. 
To  illustrate  this  point,  Dr.  Boyd 
selected  the  game  of  football.  II 
calls  for  superb  planning,  organi- 
zation fullest  utilization  of  skill 
and  maximum  participation  neces- 
sary to  achieve  the  objective. 
"These  principles  can  definitely  be 
applied  to  everyday  life,"  he  said. 
Far  too  long  we  as  a  group 
have  followed  the  life  of  Rip  Van 
Winkle  ...  we  are  not  willing  to 
participate  as  a  group  in  civic 
and  social  affairs  as  in  athletics, 
Dr.  Boyd  added. 

Dr.  Boyd  who  is  also  president 
of  the  National  Association  of 
Social  Science  teachers,  was  intro- 
duced by  William  J.  Holloway. 
dean  of  men  and  founder  of  the 
Men's  Day  festivities.  President 
James  A.  Colston  spoke  for  a  few 
minutes  following  the  main  ad- 
dress. He  was  especially  high  in 
his  praise  of  Dr.  Boyd  and  said 
ho  was  truly  one  of  the  great 
young  Americans.  Walter  J.  Leon- 
ard NAACP  young,  council  prcsi- 
dent  presided. 

Another  phase  of  the  progran 
was  the  presentation  of  medals 
by  President  Colston  to  the  first 
and  second  place  winners  in  the 
softball,  track  and  field  events 
that  took  place  earlier  in  the  day. 
Winners  included  Frank  Prince, 
Enoch  Roberts,  Clarence  Smith, 
Linwood    Denton,    Frank    Johnson, 


Audio- Visual 

Aid  Center 

The  Georgia  State  College 
Audio-Visual  Aids  Center  is  an 
all  college  service  center.  Like  the 
college  library,  it  is  a  center  from 
which  radiate  many  learning  ac- 
tivities. Here  the  student  can  find 
convenient  and  enjoyable  avenues 
of  acquiring  worlds  of  informa- 
tion in  a  very  short  period  of  time 
through  the  medium  of  the  motion 
picture.  The  world,  heretofore  be- 
yond the  reach  of  the  average  stu- 
dent, can  be  brought  near  at  hand 
for  careful  investigation.  Students 
are  encouraged  to  take  advantage 
of  this  opportunity  to  enrich  their 
backgrounds,  lift  their  horizons. 
Documentary  films  serve  the  same 
purpose,  for  example,  as  a  library 
book  in  the  preparation  of  a  term 
paper.  There  is  no  reason  why  a 
bibliography  for  an  investigative 
paper  should  not  contain  inter- 
views or  films  as  well  as  books 
and  articles.  A  term  paper  may 
often  be  enhanced  by  the  pres- 
ence of  snapshots  taken  and  pro- 
ceeded by  the  writer.  Here  is  an- 
other way  in  which  a  Georgia 
State  College  student  may  use  the 
resources   of  the    Center. 

The  Audio-Visual  Aids  Center  is 
not  merely  a  center  from  which 
16mm  films  flow.  It  is  a  center 
from  which  many  kinds  of  learn- 
ing aids  may  be  found.  The  pho- 
tographic darkroom  provides  op- 
portunities for  the  development  of 
hobbies  as  well  as  teaching  and 
learning  aids.  A-  student  may 
come  in  for  instruction  on  the 
basic  techniques  of  film  develop- 
ment and  print  making  during 
one  of  the  regularly  scheduled 
clinics.  Thereafter  he  may  ven- 
ture in  the  darkroom  and  achieve 
as  much  as  his  ability  and  inter- 
est will  permit.  There  are  books 
and  magazines  on  photography  to 
which  the  student  may  turn  to  find 
information  or  helpful  suggestions 
toward  the  solution  of  his  pSoto- 
graphic  problems.  The  Center 
makes  provisions  for  photographic 
salons  in  which  students  may  dis- 
play their  photographic  efforts. 

Another  interesting  opportunity 
which  is  knocking  at  the  doors  of 
Georgia  State  College  Students  is 
that  of  recordings.  The  Center 
possesses  recording  equipment,/ 
and  students  are  encouraged  to'' 
come  to  the  center  to  make  record- 
ings of  their  expression  efforts. 
After  these  recordings  are  made  a 
student  may  listen  to  himself  for 
self  criticism;  he  may  have  friends 
or  teachers  listen  and  criticize.  The 
talks  or  speeches  may  then  be  re- 
recorded with  the  necessary  cor- 
rections. This  is  an  excellent  ap- 
proach to  self-cultivation  of  oral 
expression. 

The  Audio-Visual  Aids  Center  is 
a  resource  center,  but  cannot  be 
considered  as  such  unless  it  ia 
used.  It  U  imperative,  thereof 
that  students  make  extensive  use 
of  the  rich  resources  which  are 
present  on  the  campus.  School  re- 
lources  become  necessary  only 
when  they  serve  the  urgent  needs; 
of  the  students.  The  extent  to 
which  students  use  the  library  and 
other  resources  determines,  in  a 
large  measure,  the  extent  to  which 
new  resources  are  provided.  The 
Audio-Visual  Aids  Cnter  is  yours. 
Use  it  to  the  full.  Choose  your- 
self as  your  experimental  guinea 
pig.  Come  to  the  Center  to  de- 
velop your  oral  expression,  build 
up  and  enrich  your  background, 
develop  hobbies  (incidently,  the 
darkroom  opens  healthy  avenues 
towards    a    worthwhile    vocation.)

President  Clement 
Commencement 
Speaker 

Rufus  E.  Clement,  Ph.D.,  noted 
educator,  will  deliver  the  com- 
mencement day  address  at  Georgia 
State  College  June  8. 

Dr.  Clement,  president  of  At 
lanta  University,  has  been  an  in- 
spiration for  American  Negro 
youth  since  1920.  After  receiving 
his  M.A.  in  1922,  he  accepted  the 
professorship  in  history  and  gov- 
ernment at  Livingston  College  in 
his  home  town,  Salisbury,  N".  C. 
Three  years  lat-er  he  became  dean 
of  faculty  and  remained  there  un- 
til 1931.  He  then  went  to  Louis- 
ville Municipal  College  where  he 
acted  as  dean  of  faculty  also.  In 
1937,  the  noted  educator  accepted 
the  presidency  of  Atlanta  Univer- 
sity and  has  remained  there  since. 

Dr.  Clement  has  written  a  num- 
ber of  books  0(1  Negro  history  and 
education.  Among  them  are  "The 
Church  School  As  A  Social  Fac- 
tor In  Negro  Life,"  and  "A  His- 
tory of  Negro  Education  In  North 
Carolina."

3.  The  Sunday  School  acquaints 
3tudents  with  the  contents  of  the 
Bible  and  other  religious  litera- 
ture. One  may  achieve  a  lifelong 
insight  or  challenge  from  these 
Sunday   School   discussions. 

4.  The  Sunday  Vesper  Hour  is 
dedicated  to  the  development  of 
Body,  Mind,  and  Spirit.  This  serv- 
ice  also    serves    as    a    medium    of 


ganization  of  Catliolic  students  and 
religious  activities  among  them- 
selves. This  club  is  international 
in  its  scope  and  is  found  in  lead- 
ing colleges  and  Universities 
where  ever  there  is  a  sufficient 
number  of  Catholic  students. 

8.  Our  Religious  Emphasis 
Week  seeks  to  emphasize  the  re- 
ligious   program    of    the   College. 

Our  sincere  thanks  go  to  the 
Religious  Life  Committee,  the  Ad- 
ministration, Students  and  faculty, 
for  their  fine  contributions  and 
cooperation  in  the  religious  pro- 
gram of  GSC.  It  has  been  most 
gratifying  to  see  the  spirit  of 
"Team  work"  prevail  among  all 
of  these  groups  and  between  this 
office  and  the  several  departments 
of  the   College, 

We  live  in  a  world  of  social  and 
industrial  unrest;  political  chaos: 
and  religious  bickering;  economic 
imperialism  and  military  enthron- 
ment.  Almost  as  clearly  as  in  the 
declining  days  of  the  Roman  Em- 
pire, our  scheme  of  values  seem; 
to  have  broken  down.  We  believe 
that  in  order  for  civilization  to  be 
saved,  its  secular  supersture  must 
be  put  back  on  religious  founda- 
tions. It  is  our  hope  that  through 
our  religious  program,  the  Geor- 
gia State  Student  will  develop 
"an  attitude  born  of  religion"  a 
faith  in  and  concept  of  God  that 
\\  revitalize  the  human  mind 
and  spirit;  and  a  religious  foun- 
dation for  the  secular  superstruc- 
ture of  our  age.  In  a  word,  it  is 
our  hope  that  he  develops  into 
a  "socially  balanced  and  spiritually 
mature"  person.  To  these  ends, 
the  Office  of  the  College  Min- 
ster is  effectionately  dedicated. 
To  the  faculty,  students,  staff 
alumni,  and  friends  of  Georgia 
State  College,  our  doors  are  al- 
ways  open  for

tion (YWCA)  are  integral  parts 
of  the  National  Council  of  Stu- 
dent Christian  Associations,  part 
of  a  world  wide  Christian  Com- 
munity. They  consist  of  groups  of 
student  and  faculty  of  various 
races  and  creeds  united  by  a  com- 
mon loyalty  to  Jesus  Christ.  In 
the  Fellowship  of  the  Christian 
Church,  they  seek  to  understand 
the  will  of  God  through  worship, 
study  and  action,  and  strive  to 
realize  it  both  in  personal  living 
and  in  working  towards  a  new  so- 
ciety.

Back  in  the  "good  old  days"

be  wearing  glasses.  But  it's  no 
longer  considered  "sissy  stuff"  to 
wear  lenses  that  will  correct  a 
player's  vision  to  20-20,  so  that  as 
many  as  18  different  major  lea- 
guers last  year  wore  glasses.  The

Bishop  Wright 
Slated  to  Deliver 
Baccalaureate 
Address 

Bishop  R.  R.  Wright,  Jr.,  Ph.D. 
the  presiding  Bishop  of  the  A.  M. 
E.  Church  in  Georgia,  will  deliver 
the  Baccalaureate  sermon  here  at 
Georgia  State  College  on  June  5. 
Dr.  Wright  is  the  son  of  the  late 
Maj.  R.  R.  Wright,  Sr.,  who  was 
the  first  President  of  Georgia 
State  College. 

Dr.  Wright  has  presided  over 
the  districts  of  New  York,  Ken- 
tucky, Tennessee,  Georgia  and  also 
over  the  African  Episcopal  district 
for  four  years. 

The  Bishop  is  known  as  a 
preacher,  scholar,  philosopher, 
traveler  and  leader.  To  prove  his 
ability  as  a  scholar,  he  has  written 
several  books  including  an  Ency- 
clopedia which  contains  six  hun- 
dred   and   eighty-eight   pages. 


Dr,  Wm.  Boyd 
GSC  Men's  Guest 

"We  as  Negroes  need  to  arise 
from  our  Rip  Van  Winkle  slumber 
as  we  are  a  definite  part  of  the 
American  culture,"  Dr.  William  M. 
Boyd  said  recently  as  he  spoke  at 
Sunday  vespers  at  Georgia  State 
College.  He  was  a  guest  of  the 
GSC  men. 

The  Atlanta  University  Politic- 
al Science  department  head  con- 
cerned himself  primarily  with  two 
things,  ideas  and  power.  He  said 
we  as  Negroes  must  emancipate 
our  own  minds,  must  rededicate 
ourselves  to  the  ideas  in  the  dem- 
ocratic creed,  and  use  our  educa- 
tion as  politicians  only  know  one 
language — that  of  how  to  get  in- 
to office  and  stay  there. 

Ideas  are  reflected  in  the  be- 
havior patterns  of  Americans,  he 
said.  Then  he  asked,  "How  many 
of  you  are  willing  to  go  back  home 
and  live  in  the  status  quo?"  Na- 
tionalism is  now  coming  to  the 
forefront  because  people  the  world 
over  are  thinking  in  terms  of  na- 
tional  solidarity.  Dr.  Boyd   added. 

He  challenged  the  students  to 
become,  familiar  with  or  more  fa- 
miliar with  the  power  structure 
of  American  society.  We  must 
realize  the  importance  of  the  bal- 
let, he  d«clared. 


DR.  LOCKE 
ELECTED 

The  election  of  Dr.  Alan  Locke, 
professor  of  Philosophy  at  Howard 
University,  as  a  member  of  the 
editorial  board  of  "The  American 
Scholar"  is  a  fine  type  of  recog- 
nition of  the  work  in  scholarship 
and  the  fine  arts  of  a  distinguish- 
ed man  of  letters.  "The  American 
Scholar"  is  a  liberal  quarterly 
published  by  Phi  Beta  Kappa, 
with  a  working  editorial  board  of 
twelve  nationally-known  persons, 
who  are  nominated  by  the  senate 
of  the  fraternity. 

Dr.  Locke  and  Professor  Arthur 
Shlessinger,  Jr.,  of  Harvard  Uni-

Everybody's  Business 

(Continued  from  Page  3} 

I  see  that  Peter  Slack  and  Ada 
Pearl  Johnson  took  my  advice  and 
made  up  before  Ada  left  to  do  her 
practice-teaching  in  Waycross.  But 
now  that  .she  is  back,  Peter,  I 
wonder  have  you  got  your  business 
straight.  You  know  what  I  am 
talking  about. 

Who  is  the  boyfriend,  Daisy  Tur- 
ner? I  don't  see  your  around  much. 

Well,  Maceo,  so  it  is  Cherry  Wil- 
liams, uh?  You  two  must  he  in 
love  for  I  see  you  together  often. 

Maceo  "Butch"  Taylor,  they 
have  you  with  a  reputation  of  be- 
ing a  quiet  person.  However, 
you  aren't  so  very  quiet  when  a 
certain  senior  is  around. 

Where  are  you  hiding,  Ralph 
Taylor?  I  don't  see  you  now-a- 
daya. 


Well,  well,  Joe  Hardy,  I  have 
found  out  who  that  certain  young 
!ady  is  that  lives  in  the  city.  She 
is  a  nice  person  and  you  are  my 
boy — so  that  makes  it  all  reet. 
I  see  you  went  from  good  to  bet- 
ter.  Get  me? 

Who  gave  you  the  diamond  ring 
that  you  are  wearing  on  the  third 
finger  left  hand,  Delores  Jeffer- 
son? Can  it  be  an  engagement 
ring? 

Ethel  Terrel  seems  to  be  in  love 
with  "shoes."  You  do  wear  some 
sharp  ones,  kid. 

M.  Griffin  and  Enoch  Roberts 
have  been  seen  together  a  lot  these 
past  months.  There  must  be  love 
involved. 

Why  is  it  that  you  don't  have 
a  girl  friend,  Henry  Scott?  Or  is 
it  just  that  I  don't  know  of  her? 
I  see  that  you  and  L.  Golden  are 
quite  friendly.

E  C  Point  System 
Installed  at 
Georgia  State 

By    William    P.    McLemore 

A  new  system  was  introduced  to 
the  students  Tuesday,  March  29, 
in  Meldrim  auditorium.  The  pur- 
pose of  the  point  system  is  to 
stimulate  more  interest  and  par- 
ticipation in  extra-class  activities, 
and  to  develop  and  maintain  high 
standard. 

All  organizations  for  which 
points  will  be  accredited  must  be 
bonafied  college  organizations  ami 
must  be  registered  with  the  Per- 
sonnel Department.  Once  each 
quarter  of  the  academic  year,  each 
participating  organization  will  re- 
port its  program  and  plans  to  the 
Personnel  Department.  Organiza- 
tions not  functioning  will  be  dis- 
banded. Sponsors  of  organizations 
wilt  require  full  attendance  and 
participation  in  order  that  a  stu- 
dent may  earn  points. 

New  students  and  those  with 
averages  between  1  and  1.9  will 
be  permitted  to  carry  a  load  of  2 
extra-class  activities.  This  is  in 
addition  to  membership  in  a  class. 
Students  on  Scholastic  probation 
will  be  permitted  to  carry  a  load 
of  1  extra-class  activity.  Not  more 
than  60%  of  the  points  counted 
for  recognition  may  be  earned  in 
one  type  of   activity. 

The  record  of  student  participa- 
tion in  extra-class  activities  will 
be  maintained  on  a  special  form 
for  such  record  and  will  be  kept 
in  the  Personnel  Department.  This 
record  will  be  maintained  as  part 
of   the   permanent   student   record. 

Sponsors  of  organization  will 
make  their  various  reports  of  pro- 
grams and  students  participating 
to  the  Personnel  Department  on  a 
special  form  designed  for  this 
purpose. 

When  students  have  earned  18 
points  in  extra-class  activities 
such  participation  will  be  recogniz- 
ed by  presentation  of  a  certificate 
achievement.  When  students  have 
earned  26  points  in  extra-class  ac- 
tivities, such  participation  will  be 
recognized  by  presentation  of  The 
College  Award.  (This  award  will 
be  either  a  charm  or  a  key  which 
can  be  worn  on  a  necklace  chain 
or  what  chain.)  A  Special  Chapel 
program  will  be  held  when  awards 
are  made.  All  points  will  be 
awarded  by  the  year  for  partici- 
pation. ,

Training  School,  Riceboro;  and 
Mi-s.  A.  Creecy  Wright,  Scriven 
County   High   School,   Sylvania. 

The   discussion  centered   around 
several    items    including ; 

1.     Setting   a   definite   date   for 
the   Festival. 

Selecting  two  numbers  to  be 
used  by  the  massed  groups. 


12  A.M.  Noon— Rehearsal  of 
masses    chorus    (composed    of    all 

S.  A.  T.  B.  choirs  and  choruses 
and  rehearsal  of  massed  band. 
Lunch  for  all  groups. 

2:00  P.M.  Session  —  Georgia 
State  College  Groups,  Instrument- 
al groups,  (bands,  ensembled  and 
solos).  Outdoor  demonstrations  by 
ull  bands  immediately  following 
inside  session. 

f7:30  P.M.  Session  —  Large 
Choral  groups  (S.  A.  T.  B.)  mass- 
ed groups  (band,  choral,  and  band 


SELECTION  OF  NUMBERS: 

10  A.M.  Session — Three  num 
bers  from  a  school  was  agreed 
upon  as  the  limit.  Because  of  the 
number  of  schools  expected  to  par- 
ticipate it  was  thought  that  thi: 
would  be  enough  numbers  since  ; 
program  could  run  unreasonably 
long  if  no  limit  was  established. 
(Example:  if  you  had  a  male  quar- 
tette, a  piano  solo  and  vocalist, 
that  would  constitute  the  limit; 
if  you  had  two  glee  clubs  and  a 
vocalist,  that  would  also  constitute 
the  limit.) 

However,  a  school  does  not  have 
to  present  three  numbers.  Maybe 
you  have  one  good  number  two 
good    numbers    for    the    morning 


Flo.  A  &  M  Band

Possessing  a  varied  reportoire 
that  ranges  from  the  classic  sym- 
phonies of  Schubert  and  Brahams 
to  the  Semi-Classic  and  popular 
music  of  today,  the  band  presents

G.I.A.A.  HIGH  SCHOOL  TOURNAMENT 
HELD  AT  GA.  STATE 

Martha  Rawls 


Chuck's 
Corner 


In  a  previous  issue  of  the  Tigers 
Roar  I  wrote  about  our  students 
*ehool  spirit  and  sportsmanship.  I 
said  that  we  should  fight  for  our 
team  and  that  we  should  always 
be  behind  the  team  whether  it  wins 
or  loses,  I  didn't  say  however  that 
if  they  should  lose  we  should  de- 
stroy the  property  of  the  other 
team  to  show  that  we  love  our 
team.  That  is  carrying  the  school 
spirit  too  far,  in  fact  that  isn't 
school  spirit  at  all.  That  type  of 
thing  is  more  in  line  with  city 
hoodlum  tactics  which  has  no  place 
on  r.  college  campus. 

Mr.  Charles  "Chuck"  Smith  III, 
Director  of  Publications  at  GSC 
gave  our  track  stars  some  real 
competition,  Saturday,  April  9,  in 
the  men's  day  festivities  when  he 
beat  Enoch  Roberts  in  the  220  and 
came  in  second  in  the  100  yard 
dash. 

I  believe  that  scholarships 
should  be  given  to  those  athletes 
who  are  worthy  and  «who  have 
shown  their  worth  on  the  gridiron 
or  hard  wood  or  cinder  path.  I 
don't  see  why  some  stumble-bum 
is  given  a  scholarship  to  sit  on 
the  bench  while  an  obvious  asset 
to  the  team  gets  nothing. 

I  say  this  because  I  have  seen 
cases  where  varsity  men,  have  re- 
ceived no  remunerations  while 
sixty  minute  bench  men  get  the 
gold. 

How  does  a  situation  like  this 
affect  us  and  our  school?  Well  in 
the  first  place  it  creates  disfavor 
of  students  involved  towards  the 
coaches  and  the  entire  school. 
Secondly,  it  might  cause  the 
school  the  loss  of  these  valuable 
players  to  other  schools,  our  rivals, 
who  can  offer  them  those  things 
denied  them  here. 

I  hate  to  admit  it  but  if  "Chuck" 
had  been  in  condition  our  boys 
would  have  made  a  very  poor 
showing  by  coming  in  with  cin 
dera  in  their  eyes  in  every  start 
that  "Chuck"  participated, 

"Chuck"  is  no  beginner  in  the 
game  of  sports.  His  name  is  writ- 
ten in  the  annals  of  Tennessee 
State  College  where  he  participat- 
ed in  track  for  four  years  and 
was  outstanding  on  the  hard  wood 
and   tennis  court. 

Mr.  Smith  participation  in  the 
men's  day  festival  not  only  shows 
that  he  is  a  great  track  man  but 
also  exemplifies  the  aim,  of  the 
"Tiger's  Roar,"  to  bring  about 
closer  and  better  relations  between 
the  faculty  and  students.

Men's  Day 


The  second  annua]  Men's  Day 
festival  was  presented  by  the  men 
of  Georgia  State  College  on  April 
10th,  on  the  Georgia  State  College 
athletic   field   and   Adam's   Hall. 

The  festivities  of  the  day  got 
off  to  a  lively  start  with  a  soft- 
ball  game  being  staged  on  the 
new  athletic  field  by  the  Arte  and 
Science'  representative  team  ver- 
sus 'the  (team  representing  the 
Trades  and  Industries  department. 
The  hurlers  for  the  respective 
teams  were  Kennith  Hawkins  and 


Yearby  Webb.  The  Arts  and 
Sciences  team  won  an  easy  7  to  4 
victory  over  the  opposing  team. 
However  Webb  was  accredited  as 
having  the  best  brand  of  pitching. 

The  second  event  to  be  staged 
was  the  high  jump  contest  which 
gave  Cecil  Davis,  Trades  and  In- 
dustries representative,  the  win- 
ning   title,    Davis    jumped    5'  10". 

The  Track  Meets  highlighted  the 
outdoor  entertainment  and  dis- 
played a  number  of  developing 
talents  in  this  field.  The  Track 
Meets  included  the  following  dist- 
ance runs:  the  one-hundred  yard 
dash  was  won  by  Enoch  Roberts, 
time  0 :  10.9,  a  representative  of 
the  Arts  and  Sciences.  Charles 
Smith  for  the  Faculty  came  in  sec- 
ond. Winners  of  the  one-mile  run, 
Frank  Prince  first  place,  5'  31", 
Enoch  Roberts,  second.  Winners 
of  the  440  dash,  Frank  Prince 
first  place,  58.8  seconds,  Enoch 
Roberts  second  place.  Winners  of 
the  220  dash  Charles  Smith, 
Faculty,  20.9  seconds,  Walter 
Trice.  Winner  of  the  440  relay 
Frank  Prince  of  the  second  relay 
team. 

Participants  in  the  discus  throw 
were  Kenneth  Hawkins  represent- 
ing Arts  and  Sciences  and  Thomas 
Turner,  Physical  Education, 
Hawkins  threw  the  discus  99.2 
feet  to  claim  the  victory,  Turner 
trailed  by  95.4  feet. 

The  broad  jump  was  the  most 
amusing  feature  of  the  hour  with 
each  jumper  getting  three  trials 
for  the  grand  award.  Again  Cecil 
Davis  chalked  up  the  high  point 
for  Trades  and  Industry  with  a 
leap  of  18'  11".  Clarence  Pogue  of 
Arts  and  Sciences  won  second  place 
with  18' 5". 

As  a  whole  everyone  exhibited 
a  spirit  of  excitement  cheering  the 
various  athletes  as  they  fought  so 
valiantly  for  the  medals  that  were 
awarded  to  first  and  second  place 
winners. 

Let  us  congratulate  the  college 
coaches  for  their  very  impartial 
judgment,  also  we'd  like  to  honor 
the  planning  committee  for  its  fine 
direotorship   of  these  events. 


Georgia  State  College  Tigers 
were  downed  by  the  Bethune  Cook- 
man  cagers  in  the  finals  of  the 
Southeastern  Athletic  Conference 
tournament  in  Wilcox  gymnasium 
Saturday  night,  March  5,  by  a 
score  of  46-42. 

The-  Claflin  University  girls 
opped  their  tournament  crown  by 
edging  out  a  close  24-23  win  over 
the  girls  from  Bethune. 

GSC  girls,  who  were  expected 
to  keep  the  cup  at  home  for  their 
second  consecutive  year,  failed  to 
win  a  single  game  in  the  tourna- 
ment. They  lost  to  Albany  State 
19-17  and  to  the  Bethune  girls  24- 
22  in  the  round  robin  eliminations. 

The  Bethune  cagers  came  into 
the  finals  after  cruising  by  Albany 
State  College  43-36  and  Florida 
Norman  59-47. 

State  took  an  easy  69-30  win 
over  Morris  College  of  Sumpter,  S. 
C,  and  edged  out  a  38-36  win  over 
Claflin  College  of  Orangeburg,  S 
C.  to  put  them  in  the  finals. 

BC  in  taking  the  SEAC  tourna- 
ment  crown  for  its  second  consecu- 
tive year,  took  an  early  lead  and 
kept  it  throughout  the  game 
against  State.  Bethune  held 
ten  point  advantage  at  the  end  of 
the  first  half  as  they  stood  out  in 
front  26-16.  The  end  of  the  third 
stanza  found  State  trailing  by  the 
same  margin  as  the  score  went 
into  the  books  at  27-37. 

In  the  final  quarter  State  nar- 
rowed Bethunes  lead  to  39-36  and 
it  looked  like  the  Tigers  of  Geor- 
gia would  get  their  revenge  for 
last  years  defeat  at  the  hands  of 
BC  in  the  SEAC  finals  out  the 
spurt  bogged  down  and  Bethune 
pulled  ahead  to  win  easily.  Final 
score  Georgia  State  36,  Bethune 
Cookman  College  44.

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


Who  Had  Best 
Basketball  Team? 


lam 


By 

"Stretch"   Savery 


Very  often  during  the  past 
basketball  season  the  question 
arose  as  to  which  team  was  the 
best  in  the  nation.  It  was  general- 
ly accepted  in  college  circles  that 
Kentucky  was  better,  however, 
some  fans  voiced  their  opinion  to- 
ward St.  Louis  and  Oklahoma. 

Among  the  professional  teams, 
which  are  composed  of  the  best 
basketballers  that  ever  hit  the  hard 
wood,  some  would  probably  choose 
the  Chicago  Staggs,  The  Philadel- 
phia Warriors  or  maybe  George 
Mikan  and  his  Minneapolis  Lakers 
as  being  the  tops.  There  is  one 
bronze  five  from  Chicago  who  are 
ao  very  often  over-looked.  They 
are  none  other  than  the  famous 
Harlem    Globetrotters. 

In  a  recent  game,  before  the 
largest  crowd  ever  to  witness  a 
professional  game,  the  trotters  de- 
feated the  Minneapolis  Lakers  to 
the  tune  of  49-45.  The  score  does 
not  denote  the  ease  by  which  they 
won  for  rather  than  trying  to  run 
the  score  up.  the  famous  five  from 
the  "Windy"  choose  to  give  the 
twenty  thousand  fans  the  show 
they  all  expected  to  see.  Paced 
their  center,  six  foot  seven  inch 
"Sweet-water"  Clifton,  a 
"Goose"  Tatum,  the  Globetrotters 
displayed  the  brand  of  ball  which 
made  them  famous. 

This  game  gave  evidence  that 
the  Globetrotters,  who  were  up 
against  some  of  the  best  competi 
tion  in  the  nation,  should  be  rated 
among  the  top  teams  if  not  the 
best.

Scenes  From  Men's  Day  Festival 


SECA  Announces 
Suspension 

As  a  result  of  a  recent  meeting 
of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Southeastern  Athletic  conference 
at  Georgia  State  College  it  has 
been   announced   that: 

1.  Florida  Normal  and  Indus- 
trial College  (St.  Augustine)  was 
suspended  beginning  March  7,  1949 
to  December  9,  1949  for  the  il- 
legal use  of  football  players  dur- 
ing the   1948  season. 

2.  Bethune  Cookman  has  been 
warned  that  in  the  future  it  must 
use  athletic  officials  certified  by 
the   SEAC. 

3.  No  football  championship 
will  be  awarded  for  the  1948  sea- 
son because  of  irregularities  of  the 
two  top  teams  (Bethune  and  Flor- 
ida  Normal). 

At  the  same  time  Ted  A.  Wright, 
Sr.,  SEAC  publicity  director  dis- 
closed that  five  conference  schools 
plan  to  field  baseball  teams  this 
spring,  that  for  the  first  time  a 
conference  track  meet  will  be  held 
with  Claflin  University  aB  the 
host,  that  all  member  schools  have 
agreed  to  "foster"  girls  basketball 
and  that  an  all-conference  team 
of  thirty  eight  players  instead  of 
the  usual  squad  of  22  has  been  se- 
lected. 


Who? 


Who  is  the  mysterious  Mr.  ABC 
who  will  be  on  the  campus  for 
one  week  this  month?  Why  will  he 
be  here?  His  name  can  not  be 
diverged  but  he  will  be  here  to 
find  out  just  who  has  gone  the 
good  old  ABC  way.  (ALWAYS 
BUY  CHESTERFIELD).  S6  be  on 
the  lookout  for  him  and  have  that 
pack  of  CHESTERFIELD  handy 
because  those  persons  found  with 
a  pack  of  the  Cigarettes  that 
satisfy  will  be  rewarded.  So  be 
on  the  lookout  and  ABC.

Extra-Curricular  Sports 

Expanded  At  College 

With  the  expansion  of  every  phase  in  Georgia  State 
Colleges'  extra-curricular  activities  has  come  the  expansion 
of  the  basketball  schedule. 

The  past  season  has  seen  our  teams  meet  such  teams 
as  Hampton  Institute,  Morehouse  and  Florida  A&M  and 
Coach  Theodore  A.  Wright  says  that  this  is  only  the  be- 
ginning. 

Following  is  an  official  schedule  and  scores  of  the  GSC

(Special  to  the  Tiger's  Roar) 
Frank      Prince,     the      half-mile 

champion  of  Panama,  who  enrolled 
in  Georgia  State  College  last  fall, 
made  his  American  track  debut 
last  Saturday  in  the  Alabama 
State  Relays  in  Montgomery  by 
winning  his  speciality   in  2:01. 

Although  his  time  was  slow 
Prince  was  never  pushed  and  was 
held  "back  by  Coach  Ted  A.  Wright 
because  he  still  had  to  run  the 
anchor  leg  on  two  relays.  Coach 
Wright  took  a  seven  man  squad 
to  the  meet  and  scored   10  points. 

Men  making  the  trip  included 
Bunky  Wright,  C.  P.  Harris, 
Enoch  Roberts,  Joseph  Turner, 
Clarence  Smith,  Clarence  Davis 
and  Prince. 

Nut  only  was  this  the  first  track 
met  of  the  season  by  the  fellows, 
but  it  was  the  first  that  some  of 
them  had   ever  participated  in. 

They  were  greatly  handicapped 
by  lack  of  practice  and  the  con- 
dition of  the  GSC  track.  However, 
this  did  not  keep  the  local  team 
from  winning  the  sprint  medley 
in  3:38.24.  Running  in  this  race 
were  Turner,  440;  Roberts,  and 
Wright,  220,  and  Prince  880.  The 
Panama  flash  was  unofficially 
clocked  in  1:55  for  his  leg  which 
is  an  indication  of  what  he  can 
do. 

Harris  qualified  in  the  440  trials 
during  the  morning  but  was 
scratched  by  Coach  Wright  because 
he  had  to  run  a  leg  on  each  of 
two  relays.  Wright  broad  jumped 
23  feet,  two  inches  but  scratched 
the  takeoff.  However,  he  won 
fifth  place  in  the  javalin  by  toss- 
ing the  spear  147  feet  without 
any  previous  practice.  He  has 
thrown  it  167  feet.  Smith  failed 
to  place  in  the  high  jump  and 
went  out  at  five  feet,  six  inches. 
Turner,  Harris,  Roberts  and  Prince 
ocmopsed  the  mile  relay  team.

GSC  Has  Wayne 
County  Day 

The  Senior  Class  along  with 
other  members  of  the  Wayne  Coun- 
ty Training  School  gave  a  pro- 
gram in  the  Georgia  State  Col- 
lege Chapel  on  April  20,  and  that 
day  was  named  "Wayne  County 
Day"  which  will  be  celebrated 
every  year.  The  Program  was  spon- 
sored by  the  Public  Relation  De- 
partment  under    the    Direction    of 

r.  Wilton  C.  Scott. 

Students  of  the  Wayne  County 
Training  School  presented  a  most 


of   which   he   is   a    member. 

The  most  outstanding  numbers 
consisted  of  two  saxophone  solos 
by  Mr.  Louis  Murphy  of  which 
"Star  Dust,"  captured  a  tremul- 
lous  applause.  He  pluyed  with  the 
superb   skill   of   professional. 

Another  stardom  destined  pro- 
ducts of  the  school  was  Miss  Ruth 
Darden  the  sparkling  personality 
who  offered  her  version  of  "You 
Call  It  Madness."  The  audience 
liked  her  so  well  until  she  offered 
for  an  anchore  "I  Don't  Care  Who 
Knows." 

It  was  learned  that  Miss  Darden 
in  all  her  appearances  has  merited 
repeat  performances.  She  is  a  good

with  a  pleasing  style, 

For  the  audience's  amusement 
the  class's  dramatist,  Miss  Pearly 
West,  was  featured  in  a  monologue, 
"Bring  The  College  Home." 

She  gave  a  stirring  interpreta- 
tion of  a  subject  which  caught  the 
admiration  of  her  listeners  and 
futher  proved,  "the  school  has 
everything." 

Other  numbers  included  a  poem 
by  Henry  Thomas,  a  selection  by 
the  Class  and  a  monodic  interlude 
of  piano  music  rendered  by  Mr. 
Charlie  Griner. 

The  members  of  the  class  were 
introduced  by  Mr.  Arthur  Hay- 
wood, alumni  of  Georgia  State  and 
Principal  of  the  Wayne  County

Everybody's  Business 

(.Continued    from    Page    8) 

Willie  Pugh  and  Vera  English, 
Steward  and  Clara  Richardson  are 
a  nice  foursome.  They  have  been 
that-a-way   since   last  year. 

Synoria  Roberts  and  Mac  Henry 
Brown  are  inseparable.  They  think 
love   is  wonderful.     Well,  it  is. 

How  goes  every  little  thing  be- 
tween  you    and    Emma    Mayo,    Al 
Jackson?     You   two  seem-  to   1 
something  in   common. 

I  saw  Palm  Beach  and  Cipio  on 
the  bus  one  windy  afternoon. 
These  two  love  birds  were  prob- 
ably going  to  see  a  love  picture. 
Prince  Jackson  and  Striggles 
are  head  over  heels  in  love  with 
each  other.  They  are  together 
constantly.  So  are  Slocum  and 
the  other  twin. 

I  have  been  trying  to  find  out 
who  your  girlfriend  is,  Ed  Conner. 
Can  you  help  me?  Never  you  mind, 
a  little  birdy  just  told  me  that  she 
is  none  other  than  Florence  Load- 
holt. 

The  dance  which  the  Women 
Council  gave  on  February  5  was 
real  on.  I  saw  some  lovers  such 
as  Helen  and  Barnhardt,  Buster 
and  Robbie,  Maceo  and  Cherry, 
and  others  who  are:  Frank  Bald- 
win, Alex  Ellis,  Lozzie  Martin, 
Peter  Slack,  Butch  Taylor,  Grade 
Connor,  Charlie  McDaniels,  Pee 
Wee,  Teddy  Holmes,  Dorothy  Bell, 
and   many   others. 

I  must  congratulate  all  of  the 
boys  who  played  in  the  South 
Carolina-State  game  for  it  was  the 
best  game  that  I  saw  all  season 
The  whole  team  played  a  good 
game.  Al,  you  are  real  gone  play 
ing  your  position  as  center. 

Henry  "Cap"  Taylor  must  be  liv- 
ing true  to  his  girl  friend  who  has 
gone  away. 

Mary  Lemon  and  Nathan  Fos 
ter  are  at  it  again.  After  all,  peo- 
ple  say — "old    love    never   dies." 

So  it  is  still  Bobby  Robinson, 
uh  Dorothy  Boston?  I  think  that 
he  i3  a  cute  fellow. 

Bunky  and  Evelyn  Maxey  are 
still  together.  That  is  very  un- 
usual for  Bunky  knowing  him  as 
I  do.  Evelyn  seems  to  be  doing 
all  right  for  herself.  B  ut — you 
better  keep  a  close  check  on  him, 
Evelyn,  for  someone  else  is  trying 
very  hard  to  move  you  out.  Pick- 
up? 

G.  McCord  is  wearing  a  young 
lady's  class  ring  on  his  fourth 
finger.  Who  is  she,  McCord?  We 
.all  would  like  to  know  about  her. 
Delores  Jones,  they  tell  me  that 
you  are  interested  in  Ed  Pierson. 
How  true  is  it,  uh?  I  knew  they 
were  kidding  when  they  said  that 
you  couldn't  get  a  boy  friend  of 
your  own. 

At  last  I  found  out  who  the  he 
is  in  your  life  Katie  Bailey.  He  is 
none  other  than  William  Warren. 
I  know  you  missed  him  while  he 
was  in  Brunswick  doing  his  field 
work. 

I  heard  that  you  have  a  boy- 
friend at  Fort  Valley,  Sarah 
Holmes,  and  that  he  sent  you  a 
lovely  gift  eome  time  ago. 

Betty  King  says  that  all  her  love 
belongs  to  a  guy  whose  name  is 
William   "Boy"   Brown. 

Frank  Baldwin  and  Dorothy 
Harp  were  seen  going  to  the  movie 
one  afternoon.  Could  love  be  in- 
volved?    I  wonder. 

Retha  Shanks  is  saying  this : 
"Tis  beter  to  have  lovod  and  lost 
than  never  to  have  loved  at  all." 

Mattie  Turner,  I  see  you  walk- 
ing  around   alone.      Why? 

Willie  Mayo,  why  are  you  so 
quiet?  Wake  up  and  live  for  I 
am  sure  that  you  will  make  some 
girl  a  swell  boyfriend. 

Pick  up  on  this,  Connie  Bogan 
— "True  love  never  runs  smooth" 
Youra  must  be  true. 


Business  Institute 
Week  Recognized 

By  Paul  L.  Howard 

Business  Institute  week  began  at 
Georgia  State  College  Wednesday 
April  13,  Mr.  Fred  Bryant, 
President  of  the  Business  Club 
and  Mr.  Robert  Charles  Long,  Sr.: 
Chairman  Department  of  Busi- 
ness officiated  in  the  morning  ses- 
sion in  Meldrim  Auditorium.  Mr. 
Long  used  for  his  topic  "The  Busi- 
ness Institute."  He  told  his  list- 
ening audience  that  the  adminis- 
tration of  Georgia  State  College 
has  planned  to  equip  the  Business 
Department  with  the  modern  types 
of  machinery.  He  said  that  the 
business  department  is  training 
students  to  become  better  fitted 
in  this  society  as  business  women 
and  men. 

At  10:15  on  the  same  day  Mr. 
F.  Franklin  Carr  Professor  of 
Accounting,  and  a  graduate  of 
New  York  University  brought  to 
the  Business  Department  one  of 
Savannah's  most  outstanding  busi- 
ness men,  Mr.  Sidney  A.  Jones, 
Sr.  i  Mr.  Sidney  A.  Jones  spoke  on 


the  subject  "Business  and  the  Com 
munity." 

The  successful  business  man  de- 
clared "If  a  business  is  organized 
and  set  up  in  a  community  and 
does  not  serve  the  Community  as 
an  asset  the  business  is  not  worth 
while."  He  claimed  that  most 
business  men  and  fellow  citizens 
of  Savannah'have  called  his  success 
luck  but  it  is  untrue.  The  great 
Artist  said  that  the  work,  the  suf- 
fering, and  the  equalization  of  so- 
ciety that  he  was  neglected  in 
making  his  business  expand  prog- 
ress is  not  luck. 

The  climax  of  Mr.  Jones'  speech 
thrilled  the  audience  with  bursting 
smiles. 

In  a  panel  discussion,  "Is  Busi- 
ness Education  Meeting  the  Needs 
of  Business"  answered  to  the  nega- 
tive. 

The  group  was  composed  of  Mr. 
T.  J.  Hopkins,  Mr.  Walter  A.  Bog- 
Mr.  Edward  B.  Law,  Mme. 
Cargo,  Mr.  P.  D.  Davis,  Jr.  and 
the  Chairman  of  the  business  de- 
partment, Mr.  R.  C.  Long. 

Mr.  Edward  Low,  District  Man- 
ager of  the  Atlanta  Life  Insurance 
as    quoted    as    saying,    "We    are 
i-imarily   interested   in   employing 


people    in    this    business,    but     .. 
prefer  folk  who  can  type  and  take 
dictation." 

Mme.  Cargo,  Director,  Cargo 
Beauty  School,  presented  the  argu- 
ment that  she  finds  her  employees 
in  dire  need  of  communication 
skills,  ability  to  transmit  and  re- 
ceive  ideas   and   orders. 

Mr.  Walter  A.  Bogan,  propriet 
or,  Bogan's  Confectionery,  pre- 
sented the  small  business-men's 
side  of  the  picture.  His  observa- 
tion is  that  small  businesses  are 
poorly  managered,  often  overlap- 
ing  and  do  not  fit  the  need  of  i 
community.  His  solution  is  that 
Business  Education  should  include 
actual  surveys  made  by  -students 
of  local  businesses. 

Mr.  T.  J.  Hopkin,  proprietor, 
Hopkin's  Electrical  Appliance 
Company,  took  the  attitude  that 
the  scope  of  business  education 
hould  be  broadened.  He  expressed 
need  for  a  versatile  secretary  who 
could  efficiently  serve  in  many 
capacities  of  secretarial  work. 

Mr.  Daves  summarized  the  com- 
ment in  this  manner.  "We  are  gen- 
erally failing  and  the  training 
program    needs    to    be    examined. 


MAY,  1949 


We  should  emphasize  versatility 
communication,  skill  and  the  abil- 
ity to  give  directions.

THIC  TIGKIt  S  ROAM 


PRESIDENT    W      K.    PAYNE 

Who  Is  a  Good 
Student? 

Frequently  someone  raises  a  question 
about  teachers.  Very  often  lite  que*' 
lion  is     1-  Mr.  Hughes  or  Miss  Lotson 

a  good  leaeher?"  It  is  difficult  lo 
answer  this  question  in  terms  ihat  will 
mean  the  same  thing  lo  both  of  the 
parties  in  the-  conversation.  This  same 
question  is  equally  difficult  when  it  is 
posed  concerning  students. 

In  the  minds  of  many  people  raising 
such  a  question  about  students,  the  in- 
dividual finds  usually  one  general  con- 
cept. Tins  concept  generally  includes 
tile  number  of  A*S  and  B's  made  |iy  tile 
student.  Beyond  that  point,  there  is 
little  to  indicate  what  the  student  is 
like.  There  is  certainly  a  need  to 
broaden  this  concept  of  the  good  stu- 
dent. When  one  considers  the  large 
number  of  successful  men  and  women 
who  have  completed  college  without  a 
record  which  shows  predominantly  A's 
and  B's.  one  finds  it  necessary  to  alter 
the  good  student  concept.  The  grades 
A  and  B  are  important,  but  they  do 
not  serve  a?  a  complete  index  to  the 
general  nature  of  the  student.  In  fact, 
such  grades  are  relative  to  a  number  of 
factors  such  as  the  instructor  who 
teaches  the  course,  the  scholarship 
standards  of  the  institution  in  which 
a  student  is  enrolled,  the  marking  sys- 
tem of  the  institution,  and  the  quality 
of  student  enrolled.  Certainly,  all  of 
these  factors  are  important  anil  should 
be  given  full  consideration  when  an- 
swering this  question  about  any  student. 

Over  and  beyond  the  foregoing  fac- 
tors, the  concept  of  a  good  student 
should  include  such  characteristics  as 
the  following:  \jfi )  initiative,  (2)  abil- 
ity to  show  evidence  of  planning,  (31 
developing  emotional  maturity,  £4)  and 
an  increasing  awareness  of  the  major 
happenings  and  issues  of  the  present 
world. 

The  student  who  never  makes  a  con- 
tribution except  when  it  is  required 
of  him  lacks  an  important  factor  need- 
ed in  present-day  living.  The  world 
needs  students  who  will  be  able  to  see 
that  something  needs  lo  be  done  and 
do  it.  It  is  overloaded  with  individuals 
who    recognize    inadequacies    but    offer

The  Demi-Tasse  Players,  the  most 
unique  dramatic  group  ever  to  be  of-

President-  Payne 
Receives  Bouquet 
For  Flower  Week 

President  William  K.  Payne  dis- 
played a  beautilul  bouquet  of  flowers 
during  the  upperclas-man  assembly  pro- 
gram on  Tuesday,  October  30,  which 
was  sent  to  him  by  Oelschig  Florist  of 
Savannah,  Georgia.  The  flowers  were 
sent  lo  lite  College  head  in  commemora- 
tion of  National  Flower  Week.  The 
bouquet  consisted  of  yellow  chrysan- 
themums with  a  spray  of  green  fern  and 
autumn  leaves  and  was  beautifully  ar- 
ranged in  a  white  basket.  The  floral 
trihule  was  admired  and  appreciated 
by  the  entire  student  and  faculty 
diencc. 


no  solutions  nor  feel  any  responsihil 
lies  beyond   that  of  discovery. 

It   i>  nol  easy  to  conceive  of  a  good 

student  who  does  not  show  evidences 
of  ability  to  plan.  The  spread  and  de- 
velopment of  democracy  in  our  country 
and  the  world  are  conditioned  by  the 
degree  to  which  ihe  population  in  gen- 
eral exercises  individually  this  particu- 
lar ability.  At  all  levels  of  educalion, 
learning  how  to  plan  should  be  con- 
sidered as  a  major  part  of  educalion. 

fn  the  characteristic  which  we  often 
designate  as  emotion  maturity,  one  looks 
lo  lind  an  individual  who  can  respond 
normally  and  in  a  wholesome  man  net 
to  the  social  situations  in  which  lit 
find-  himself.  Although  a  very  diffi- 
cult term  lo  define,  emotional  maturity 
can  he  measured  and  evaluated.  It 
should  he  one  of  the  major  goals  or 
purposes  of  education.  Its  presen 
in  individuals  of  all  grades  of  schol 
ship   is   enhancing. 

Finally,  it  is  impossible  to  think  of 
a  good  student  who  is  not  aware  of 
the  fact  that  he  lives  in  the  alomic 
age  and  a  confused  world.  Signs  of 
awareness  lo  present-day  problem-  and 
issues  are  characteristic  of  student-  who 
may  be  put  into  Ihe  classification  of 
the  good  student.  The  colleges  and 
universities,  although  set  aside  in  spe- 
ific  localities,  arc,  whether  by  choice 
t  circumstances,  a  part  of  a  troubled 
nd  changing  world.  No  student  can 
he  judged  good  who  tloes  not  keep 
abreast  of  the  developments  which  are 
iking   place   from  day   to  day. 

There  has  been  no  attempt  here  to 
ike  from  ihe  students  who  make  A's 
and  B's  any  glory.  Bui,  on  the  olher 
hand,  effort  has  been  made  to  stress 
the  oilier  factors  frcquenlly  neglected 
when  a  good  student  i-  considered.  In 
addilion,  attention  has  been  called  to 
the  fact  that  students  making  grades 
w  B  may  show  these  characteristics 
come  to  be  included  in  the  con- 
cept of  a   good   student.

The  Dean's 
Message 

lie  gravity  of  ihe  present  world 
crisis  is  the  measure  of  your  oppor- 
tunity. Those  fortunate  men  who  re- 
main in  college  have  an  opportunity 
to  attain  scholastic  averages  which  will 
permit  them  to  finish  college.  All  stu- 
dents, both  men  and  women,  today, 
have  upon  graduation  employment  pros- 
pects which  did  not  exist  yeslerday. 

You  may  now  work,  if  qualified,  in 
governmental  foreign  service.  You  may, 
f  qualified,  now  work  on  a  variety  of 
scientific  research  projects.  You  may, 
f  qualified,  now  enter  new  fields  of 
nduslry,  manufacture  and  sales  dis- 
tribution. Opport unities  in  loiters  ami 
e  art    beckon   still  as  always. 

The  gateway  lo  slardom   in  competi- 
tive sports  is  wide  open.     The  church, 
o,  invites   the  devoted   soul  lo  larger 

In  shorl.  the  plums  of  opportunity 
are  ripe  (or  competent  bunds  and  dedi- 
caled  hearls.  May  every  student  of 
Savannah  Slule  College  have  imagina- 
tion to  sec  meaningful  goals,  energy 
and  patience  to  endure  preparation, 
and   determination   to  achieve.

President  William  K.  Payne  greeled 
the  sludeni  body  in  an  assembly  pro- 
gram Tuesday.  September  25,  1951. 
Speaking  from  the  subject,  "College 
Citizenship,"  the  president  made  several 
imporiunt  points.  1.  That  the  college 
students  constitute  ihe  college  citizen- 
ship. 2.  That  this  being  a  select  com- 
munity, means  that  we  have  select 
citizens.  "One  way  of  showing  good 
citizenship  is  to  regard  ihe  other  fel- 
low," said  ihe  Prexy.  Another  is  "To 
develop  ihinking  on  community  level. 
When  we  think  of  lliings  that  are  good 
and  fine  and  things  that  will  help  im- 
good  citizenship."

Having  heard  this  wonderful  address 
by  ihe  President,  i  am  sure  that  we 
as  college  students  are  going  lo  show 
good    citizenship   here    on    the    campus. 

Dean  William  J.  Holloway  spoke  to 
us  on  October  9,  on  the  subject  of 
"Raising  Slandards.*"  "College  people 
are  select  people  and  should  exhibit 
fair  play  at  all  times.  They  should 
know  bow  to  lose  as  well  as  how  to 
win,"  ihe  Dean  declared.  He  gave  us 
three  important  ways  in  which  we  can 
raise  higher  standards;  1.  Scholarship, 
2.  Social  Behavior.  3.  Professional 
Preparation.

The  Teaching 
Profession  Comes 
Of  Age  In  Georgia 


By    l»r.    Calvin 
Head.  Dcpartraenl 


L.    Kiab, 

of   Educalio 


To  say  ihe  year  1951  is  a  history- 
making  one  in  ihe  teaching  professior 
in  our  Male  cells  immediately  to  tin 
mind  of  anyone  al  all  familiar  will 
events  as  they  have  unfolded,  the  Mini 
mum    Foundalion  Program. 

It  is  nol  ihe  purpose  of  this  short 
piece  lo  describe  the  provisions  of 
M.F.P.    as    that    will    he    allemnter' 


The  upshot  of  all  ibis  is  thai  gross 
inefficiency  or  at  the  most  a  low  grade 
of  mediocrity  has  been  a  dominani 
characteristic   of  our   system. 

This  sort  of  psychological  atmosphere 
prevading  and  surrounding  leaching  a> 
a  vocation  in  our  state  has  insinuated 
itself  into  und  upon  all  areas  touching 
ihe  profession.  Here  at  the  college, 
it  becomes  apparent  in  the  attitude  ol 
students  toward  preparation  for  teach- 
ing. Classified  a  profession,  teaching 
enjoys  the  prestige  and  high  social  es- 
i  accorded  the  olher  professions. 
Though  (his  is  true,  however,  there  is 
i  considerable  tendency  for  persons  to 
elect  and  prepare  for  teaching  only 
vhen  it  become-  evident  lhal  further 
Study  required  for  enlrance  into  the 
ither  professions  is  not  feasible  or 
possible. 

A  familiar  statement  of  upperclass- 
men  is,  "I  want  lo  sludy  medicine  but 
if  I  can't  do  any  heller  111  leach.  So, 
in  case  1  do  have  lo  leach  I  heller  lake 
iome  education'."  We  have  here  in  the 
lepartmeiil  have  labeled  this  sort  of 
person  an  "in  ease  teacher." 

The  low  siutnlards  which  meager  fi- 
nancial provision  has  forced  upon  the 
system  have  made  of  the  profession  a 
penurious  and  contemptible  ocupalion; 

profession,  yes,  but  one  to  be  pre- 
ferred  only  after  all  others  have  been 

ntlered  unattainable. 

Achievement  of  M.F.P.  marks  the 
starting  point  of  a  wdiole  new  approach 
lo  I  be  leaching  profession  in  Georgia.

We  Congratulate 
The  Newly-weds 

Mo-t  sincere  congratulations  lo  the 
many  happy  newly  married  couples  of 
our  college   family. 

Among  ihe  teachers  arc  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Leroy  Brown  (Miss  Vera  Dowdell); 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  H.  Harmon.!  (Miss 
Thelma  Moore)  ;  Mr.  and  Mrs.  James 
Fisher  (Miss  Ella  Webb);  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  William  Bowens  (Miss  Alberta 
Webster)  :  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  P.  L.  But- 
ler   (Miss  Nella  F.  Harris). 

Among  the  students,  our  congratu- 
lations go  to  Mr.  ami  Mrs.  William 
Johnson  (Dorothy  Robinson)  ;  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Lloyd  Ricks  (Maude  Eden  Held ) ; 
Mr.  and  Mr-.  Conrad  Moon-  (Jacque- 
line Nelson). 


low   begin  lo  demand  that  all  aspects 
if  the  program  meet  acceptable  sland- 


Foreniost  among  these  demand.-,  as 
is  already  apparent,  is  first,  lhal  per- 
sons now  employed  who  expect  to  be 
retained  in  the  system  must  meet  ac- 
ceptable standards  of  qualification. 
Next,  any  persons  seeking  admission 
to  ihe  profession  must  nun  the  stand- 
ards prior  to  being  considered  for  em- 
ployment. In  sborl,  the  days  ol  the 
inssuance  of  the  provisional  certifi- 
cate are  numbered. 

In  this  connection,  tin-  college,  with 
stale  certification  authorities  cooperat- 
ing has  spent  considerable  lime  and 
effort  in  the  development  of  definite 
curricula  looking  toward  preparing 
teachers  for  instruction  in  specific 
areas,  fn  such  a  system,  it  is  con- 
ceived, the  "in  case  teacher"  will  have 
a  difficult  time  simply  taking  "some 
educalion"  and  acquiring  adequate 
preparalion    for   the   profession. 

It  is  Ihe  design  of  the  college  lhal 
the  individual  who  qualifies  [or  gradu- 
ation in  any  of  the  several  leaeher  edu- 
cation curricula  shall  have  done  so  by 
conscious,  deliberate  choice  and  he  will 
have  selected  his  course  of  uction  at 
a  specified  point  in  his  college  career. 
pursuing  ii  as  designed.  An  "incaser." 
to  qualify,  having  passed  ihe  point  of 
decision  must  retrace  his  stepi,  select 
has  desired  field  and  spend  an  amounl 
of  extra  lime  qualifying  equivalent  lo 
that  he  lias  missed. 

Stale  certification  under  the  new 
plan  will  he  automatic  upon  completion 
of  one  of  the  leaching  curricula. 

It  is  also  true  lhal  in  ihe  days  prior 
lo  M.F.P.  low  standards  of  achieve- 
ment and  excellence  accompanied  low 
scholastic  and  professional  standards. 
In  short,  employing  agencies  and  ad- 
ministrators have  tolerated  ineompe- 
lenee  and  inefficiency  as  eoncomilanls 
of  poor  preparalion  and  ihe  compensa- 
tion was  commensurate. 

With  insistence  upon  and  availability 
of  persons  with  desirable  professional 
preparalion — said  persons  also  being 
eligible  for  compensation  which  ap- 
proaches a  level  of  respectability  com- 
parable to  that  of  other  professions- 
carelessness,  shifllessness  and  slovenly 
standards  of  performance  will  cease  lo 
be  tolerated. 

In  summary,  M.F.P.  is  ihe  unmistak- 
able expression  of  Georgia's  determina- 
tion to  develop  a  modern  and  efficienl 
school  system.  Adoption  of  ibis  acl 
breathes  life  and  vitality  into  ihe  pro- 
fession and  does  much  to  provide  the 
atmosphere  which  will  enable  il  to 
assume  the  dignity  and  stalus  of  com- 
ible  occupations.  The  profession 
has  definitely  come  of  age.  Those  who 
ould  engage  in  it  must  acquire  the 
attributes  ol  maturity 
with  such  a  calling.

"Congratulations"  Mr.  Quattlebaum, 
for  you  have  been  re-elected  as  president 
another  year.  You  are  quite  an  asset

retained  the  presidency  above  others. 
You  have  served  faithfully  and  willing-

Keep  up  the  good  work. 

During  your  high  school  days  you

May    I    leave   with   you,   as   you   con- 
tinue through  life,  a  verse  taken   from 
Longfellow's   "Psalm    of    Life": 
"Lives  of  great  men  all  remind  us 
We  can   make  our  lives  sublime, 
And,  departing,  leave   behind   us, 
Footprint  on  the  sands  of  lime."

Eddie  T.  Lindsey.  scholarly  senioi 
won  recognition  as  Student  -  of  -  the 
Month  because  of  bis  unusual  academi 
record  and  for  his  outstanding  cor 
tribulions    in    extra-class    activities. 

The  ambitious  native  of  Columbus 
Georgia,  is  al  present  Editor  of  the 
1952  Yearbook,  president  of  the 
dent  Council,  and  president  of  Delia 
Eta  chapter  of  Alpha  Phi  Alpha  fra- 
ternity. His  winning  personality  and 
brilliant  mini!  have  won  him  the  ad- 
miration of  his  fellow  students  and  the 
College  family. 

A  senior  English  major.  Lindsey  was 
in  honor  graduate  of  Spencer  High 
School.  Coin mb its,  ami  has  maintained 
in  almost  consecutive  lisling  on 
coveted  Dean's  list.  He  was  the 
cipient  of  the  Press  Club  Award  and 
he  College  Award  for  his  distinguished 
ind  consistent  participation  in  College 
activities. 

His  bobbies  include  dancing  and 
reading.  Lindsey  believes  that  a  well- 
rounded  life  means  a  life  of  progressive 
ind  fruiiful  living.  Perhaps  the  great- 
•st  achievement  of  Lindsey 's  college 
eareer  was  his  winning  of  the  presi- 
dency of  the  Student  Council,  which 
bespoke  the  fail h  that  bis  colleagues 
hold   in   his  ability  and   integrity. 

Lindsey  was  at  one  time  a  Junior 
Deacon  of  the  First  African  Baptist 
Church  of  Columbus.  He  also  served 
i-  an  a>-istanl   Sunday   School  teacher. 

The  amiable  high  school  valedic- 
orian  possesses  most  of  the  qualities  of 
i  great  man  who  will  write  many  glow- 
ng  words  of  progress  and  humani- 
arianism  on  the  pages  of  history, 
scholarship,  dignity,  faith,  integrity — 
hese  words  help  to  portray  one  of 
SSC's  most  colorful  and  best  loved 
ludenls.  Surely,  Eddie  T.  Lindsey  is 
in  outstanding  example  of  an  Ameri- 
can   College    Student. 

"Students  should  become  well-round- 
kI  individuals  through  formal  and  in- 
formal training  before  considering 
hemselves  well  educated.  Book  learn- 
ing is  only  twenty-five  per  cent  of  the 
jame,  your  ability  to  apply  what  you 
Itnow  eonstitules  the  oilier  seventy-five 
per  cent,"  according  to  the  philosophy 
>f  Raymond  Knighl  who  is  "Student  of

mi  on  October  19,  1949,  for  the  pur-

A  Student  Looks  at 

Religious  Life  at  SSC 

By   Dorothy  M.   Bess 

Most  of  the  students  of  Savannah 
Stale  College  will  agree  that  religious 
services  ploy  an  important  pari  in  mold- 
ing characler  and  developing  a  whole- 
some personality.  Even  though  we  arc 
aware  of  these  facts,  many  of  us  are 
not  aroused  by  them. 

We  as  college  students  have  definite 
goals  in  view.  If  we  are  to  achieve 
these  goals,  we  cannot  afford  to  forget 
the  main  factor  which  will  help  us 
most  loward  cslablishing  a  firm  de- 
termination Inward  achievement.  This 
factor  is  none  other  than  that  of  re- 
ligion. 

Religious  services  are  those  which 
should  be  cherished  by  every  individual. 
Without  them,  our  lives  would  be  in- 
complete. If  we  would  be  successful 
in  our  daily  endeavors,  we  must  con- 
stantly strive  to  adhere  to  those  re- 
ligious principles  which  are  essential 
to  a  happy  life. 

Religious  services  are  held  weekly 
on  the  College  campus.  They  are  held 
mainly  for  the  students.  There  are 
many  ibings  which  will  inevitably  help 
us  in  everyday  life  if  we  faithfully  ad- 
here lo  them.  By  following  these  re- 
ligious principles  we  will  he  better 
qualified  to  meet  the  challenges  and 
adversities  of  ibis  day  and   age. 

Religious  services  will  prove  especial- 
ly helpful  in  aiding  the  freshmen  to 
adjust  themselves  morally  and  spiritual- 
ly. Uppcrclassmen  will  find  them  of 
great  assistance  in  helping  lo  point  up 
an  area  which  is  too  often  neglected. 
Let  ns  make  an  early  beginning  in  order 
that   we  may   look   forward  to  a   betler

It's  really  the  Monday  morning  quarterback  that  needs  lo  be  deemphasized. 

Many  a  business  man  thinks  the  way  to  get  order  out  of  chaos  is  lo  get  plenty 
of  orders. 

Rip  Van  Winkle  couldn't  sleep  for  20  years  nowadays.     He  would  ha 
bombed. 


Utilizing  Our  Minds 

As  college  men  and  women  and  potential  leaders  of  tomorrow,  we  are  too 
prone  to  be  aimless,  wild  little  regard  for  those  things  which  are  of  educalional 
as  well  as  cultural  value  lo  us. 

Let  us  place  ourselves  in  I  lie  position  of  some  of  our  guest  speakers  who 
come  to  us  from  time  lo  lime  to  share  with  us  some  o(  their  varied  experiences. 
No  speaker  can  be  any  greater  than  his  audience  will  allow  him  to  be.  Colleagues, 
our  cooperation  is  needed. 

Focus  in  your  minds  one  moment  our  reactions  as  far  as  being  intelligent 
and  attentive  listeners  is  concerned.  We  are  not  attentive  and  we  lack  that  degree 
of  control  which  characterizes  and  identifies  college  students.  Let  us  be  aware 
that  the  first  impression,  in  many  instances,  is  a  lasting  one  and  the  impression 
our  speakers  get  of  us  will  not  only  characterize  us  now,  but  also  in  years  to 
come.  Patterns  do  not  change  in  a  day;  on  the  other  hand,  they  usually  persist. 
The  strength  of  a  school  lies  not  in  the  beauty  of  its  buildings,  but  in  the  char- 
acter and   intellect   of  ils  students 

The  writer  who  remarked  that  "We  recognize  slars  only  when  they  shine," 
certainly  gives  us  cause  lor  reflection. 

—Annie  Ruth  Howard 


Are  You  Making  Each  Minute  Count? 

The  bund  ol  fate  is  writing  each  minute  as  we  experience  our  most 
period  in  world  history,  and  the  quality  ol  your  performance  now  will  di 
your  future  destiny.  Fate  has  caused  many  youth  lo  be  inducted  into  the 
armed  sen-ices.  Therefore,  those  ol  us  who  share  the  golden  privilege  of  grasp- 
ing a  pen  insiead  ol  a  gun  must  realize  the  importance  of  making  each  minute 
count. 

Our  minds  mu-t  turn  aside  from  the  frivolity  and  depravities  of  life  lo  high 
standards  and  ideals  which  bring  about  a  more  meaningful  exigence.  In  short, 
our  being  here  must  have  a  dclinile  purpose,  a  purpose  based  on  a  desire  lo 
acquire  training  which  will  help  to  make  our  community,  our  country,  and 
the  world  a  better  place  in  which  lo  live  because  ol  our  foresight,  preparedness 
and  intelligence.  Surely. "it  is  to  he  the  educational  institutions  that  one  looks 
for  sound  leaders. 

Let  us  be  mindful  of  our  every  action  while  in  college.  Can  you  imagine 
yourself  on  the  Korean  battlefield?  Imagine  you  are  on  the  battlefield,  a  young 
and  ambitious  person,  desiring  most  to  be  in  some  American  college  instead. 
Having  this  supposition  in  mind,  are  you  still  satisfied  with  your  scholar-hip 
here?  Are  you  sure  you  are  gelling  the  all-around  development  you  need  from 
your  present  activities  here?  Finally,  are  you  making  each  minute  count  every 
day? 

Certainly,  we  ought  lo  lake  inventory  of  ourselves  and  while  the  term  is 
young,  get  on  the  "right  track."  Standards  in  all  ureas  of  living  are  raising  and 
we  must  meet  the  challenge  of  new  situations.  It  is  not  too  late  lo  make  wise  use 
of  all  ol  your  natural  talents  and  abilities  to  grasp  every  opportunity  to  learn  lo 
get  a  liberal  education. 

So  that  the  purpose  of  education  to  make  one  aide  lo  live  the  "Good  Life 
might  be  fulfilled,  let  us  strive  to  make  each  minute  count.  In  doing  this,  w 
must  be  mindful  of  the  wise  counsel  given  in  the  first  assembly  for  school  year 
1951-52  by  our  President  in  speaking  on  the  subjeel  of  "College  Citizenship,"  and 
again  the  message  of  our  Dean  of  men,  William  J.  Hollow  ay,  when  he  spoki 
about  "Raising  Standards."  Someone  once  said  that,  "He  who  starts  the  race 
late,  must  run  faster  than  the  re^t  to  win  the  race."  We  ought  lo  let  our 
thoughts  entertain  these  truths. 

Most  of  all.  we  have  a  life  belore  us  lo  live.  We  musl  ihink  of 
curily  and  consequently  of  what  we  will  have  to  offer  in  turn  for  compensations. 
We  are  indebted  lo  society,  our  community  and  lo  our  families  who.  in  many 
cases,  sacrifice  lo  keep  us  here.  We  must  think  in  terms  of  the  many  aspects  of 
living  before  we  waste  time,  money,  or  energy,  and  in  so  doing,  you  may  be 
discouraged  nol  lo  procrastinate.

count  the  minutes  which  are  passing  on  each  day  while  you  are  here  and  try 
to  nume  an  accomplisbmnl  or  some  progressive  step  for  each  of  these  minutes. 
This  is  whal  we  mean  by  the  queslion,  "Are  you  making  the  minutes  count

Master's  Degree." 

There's  a  big  leap,  in  man's  thinking, 
between  a  dale  and  a  mate,  points  out 
the  article,  but  some  girls  jusl  won'l 
recognize   this    (act. 

The  girls  were  in  general  agreement 
that  Ihe  greatest  asset  in  winning  llie 
interest  of  a  man,  especially  one  with 
matrimonial  intentions  is  a  sunny  dis- 
posiliou  and  a  sense  of  humor.  More 
important  than  being  good  looking, 
the  girls  feel,  is  being  neat  and  clean. 

Moreover,  advise  ihe  girls,  always 
he  a  good  companion  in  a  genuine 
rather  than  in  a  slicky,  charm-school 
way. 

Patiie  Rich,  ol  1432  Alameda  Avenue,

"Be  yourself.  A  phony  has  no  choici

Critics  Cheer  Harvey 

Here  is  what  the  New  York  Times 
-aid  about  Mary  Chase's  hilarious 
Broadway  smash  hit  comedy  "HAR- 
VEY," which  is  being  presented  by  the 
New  York  Drama  Guild  al  Mehlrim 
tuditorium  on  December  8th  tSalur- 
lay>,  1951,  al  8:15  p.  m.:  "HARVEY' 
is  one  of  the  treats  of  the  fall  theatre." 

John  Chapman  of  (be  New  York  Daily 
Vers  added:  -HARVEY'  is  the  most 
hlightful.  droll,  endearing,  funny  ami 
touching  pieces  of  stage  whimscy  I 
ever  saw." 

On  stage,  and  on  the  screen,  criiics, 
novie  and  theatre  goers  have  loved 
and  laughed  at  "HARVEY."  For  young, 
and  old,  it  is  a  journey  into  fantasy, 
and— as  George  Jean  Nathan  of  the 
Veic  York  Jonriml  American  said — "an 
evening  ol   intelligent   laughter." 

The  New  York  Drama  Guild's  pro- 
duction of  "HARVEY"  is  jusi  that— 
.i  delightful,  funny,  and  intelligent  eve- 
ning's  entertainment. 

The  critics  have  done  nothing  but 
laud  "HARVEY,"  and  it  can  all  be 
summed  up  by  the  New  York  World- 
Telegram  critic  who  said:  "My  ribs  are 
siill  aching.  I  can't  recall  that  1  ever 
laughed  so  bard  so  continuously  at  any 
■how  as  I  did  lu-l  night  ut  the  opening 
of  HARVEY.'  hy  Mury  Chase.  And 
1  was  in  good  company;  the  audience 
os  in  hysterics."

proach   to   current    social    problems. 


BOB:  It's  wonderful  to  bo  here,  Bing. 
This  is  your  first  proErum  of  the  sea- 
son, I  presume? 

RING:  No.  Bob.  This  is  my  third. 
BOB:   And  you've  just  called  me  in? 
BING:    Well,  you   wouldn't  expect  a 
coach  to  start  the  season  off  with  the 
scrub  team,  would  you? 

BING:  Say,  Bob,  I'm  coming  out  with 
a  new  group  of  items  called  "Bing's 
Things,"  ami  I'm  looking  /or  a  i'lii o  of 
children's  toys.  What  did  you.  play  with 
when  yon  were  a  little  boy? 
BOB:  Little  girls. 

BING:  I  wish  you  could  have  been

BOB:  Why  so,  Bing? 
BING:  I  wouldn't  have  had  to  har- 
poon him.  He  could  have  looked  at  you 
and  jealous'd  himself  to  death. 

BOB:   /   want   to   thank  you  for  that 

big  smoked  salmon  yon  sent  me  from 

Canada. 

BING:    Oh,    you   got    tile    salmon    all 

right,  huh!

it  with,  Bing? 

BING:  Chesterfields!  What  else? 

BING:  Ah,  yes,  the  end  of  an  almost 
perfect  summer.  The  vacation  inter- 
lude was  not  without  its  mishaps 
though.  Remember,  Bob,  you  almost 
fell  into  the  Gunnison  River. 
BOB:  I  did  full  into  the  river,  and  I 
came  very  close  to  drowning. 
BING:  Yes,  it  was  almost  a  perfect 
summer. 

BOB:    Jane    Wyman,    there's    a    real 

glamor  gal. Gosh, she's  done  love  scenes 
with  all  the  handsome  leading  men.

SELECTIVE  SERVICE 
(Continued  from  Page  1) 

The  Congress,  in  the  1951  Amend- 
ments  to  the  Universal  Military  Train- 
jig  and  Service  Act,  declared  that 
idequate'  provision  for  national  security 
requires  maximum  effort  in  the  fields 
of  scientific  research  and  development 
and  the  fullest  possible  utilization  of 
[he  nation's  intellectual  resources;  it 
authorized  the  President  lo  provide  for 
the  defcrmenl  of  any  or  all  categories 
of  persons  whose  activity  in  study  is 
found  to  be  necessary  to  the  mainten- 
ance of  the  national  health,  safely  or 
interest. 

The  criteria  for  deferment  as  a  stu- 
dent is  either  a  satisfactory  score  (70) 
on  the  Selective  Service  College  Quali- 
fication Test  or  satisfactory  rank  in 
class  (upper  half  of  the  freshman  class, 
upper  two  thirds  of  the  sophomore 
class,  upper  three  fourths  of  the  junior 
class).  Seniors  accepted  for  admission 
to  a  graduate  school  satisfy  the  criteria 
il  they  stand  in  the  upper  half  of  their 
classes,  or  make  a  score  of  75  or  better 
on  the  test.  Students  already  enrolled 
in  graduate  schools  may  be  deferred 
-i)  long  as  they  remain  in  good  standing. 
These  criteria  ore  guides  and  the  local 
hoards  are  not   bound    to   follow    them. 

General  Hersbey  remarked  today  that 
when  the  Selective  Service  college  de- 
ferment plan  was  first  anouncd  last 
spring  objection  was  heard  that  the 
plan  gave  prclerred  treatment  to  the 
comparatively  small  number  of  "bright 
hoys"  who  could  afford  lo  go  to  col- 
lege. He  said  he  believed  that  virtually 
all  of  the  opposition  on  this  ground  has 
i  dissipated,  since  there  is  now  a 
■ral  understanding  of  the  facl  that 
the  purpose  of  the  plan  is  to  select 
those  most  fitted  to  pursue  college  ed- 
ucations and  that  a  large  portion  of 
college  studenls  are  "working  their 
way  through  college,"  either  partly  or 
wholly.  He  cited  a  recent  survey  made 
by  the  United  Slates  Ollice  of  Educa- 
tion which  showed  that  fewer  than  25 
per  cent  of  college  students  are  solely- 
dependent  upon  their  parents.

General   Motors,   Flint.   Michigan. 

The  Auto  Mechanics  Teacher  Trai 
ing  Program  was  first  presented  by

of  requests  from  teachers  for  infor- 
mation on  passenger  car  and  truck 
specifications  and  adjustments. 

The  program  is  one  of  the  Institute's 
activities  open  to  people  other  than 
"hose  directly  coneeted  with  the  divi- 
sions of  General  Motors  or  its  distribu- 
tors and  dealers. 

During  the  history  of  the  program, 
teachers  of  auto  mechanics  and  related 
subjects  and  vocational  counselors  from 
all  slates  of  the  United  Stales  as  well 
as  all  provinces  of  Canada  have  par- 
ticipated. 

In  order  to  keep  in  pace  with  the 
work  that  was  accomplished  by  Mr. 
Leroy  Brown,  a  new  Ponliac  8 -cylinder 
motor  and  hvdramatic  transmission  was 
purchased. 

Additional  courses  have  been  added 
to  Ihe  training  program  in  the  division. 
A  new  course  is  Leather  Craft  and  is 
open  to  all  students  in  the  institution

work. 

The  institution  is  serving  as  host  to 
the  American  Youth  Industrial  Educa- 
tional Association  and  the  Southern 
Regional  Conference  and  the  staff  of 
the  Division  of  Trades  and  Industries 
is  responsible  for  ihe  execution  of  ihe 
meetings.  The  date  set  aside  for  said 
conference  will  be  on  May  13.  1952. 

Several  staff  members  in  the  division 
were  away  during  the  summer,  study- 
ing in  larger  institutions,  gaining  more 
information  in  their  line  of  work  and 
gelling  new  ideas  lo  he  u-ed 
proving  the  work  of  the  college  as  well 
as  the  division.  These  members 
Mr.  Singleton,  instructor  in  Radi 
pairing,  and  Mr.  Haygood.  instructor

and  he  that  raiselh  late  must  trot  all

"The  cal  in  gloves  catches  no  mice." 
"A  little  neglect  may  breed  great  mis-

the  enemy;  all  for  wani  of  care  aboul

"Due  to  Ihe  facl  that  I  have  n 
attended  a  college  before,  I  have 
particular  impression  of  Savannah  Slate 
College  in  contrast  lo  olher  colleges. 
In  contra-t  with  high  school  life,  there 
is  no  doubt  that  SSC  is  superior.  I 
like  living  on  campus,  for  it  seems  so] 
much  like  home  lo  me." 

— Solomon  Green 

"In  telling  of  my  impression  of  SSC, 
it  would  be  unfair  lo  begin  without 
mentioning  first  the  beautiful  campus. 
Savannah  Slate  has  a  group  of  fine  ad- 
minisirators  and  facully  members  who 
seem  to  hr  very  interested  in  the  stu- 
dent's future.  They  arc  working  hard 
daily  to  help  each  student  reach  the 
lop  of  the  ladder  of  sucre-*."

When  Autumn's  Winds

By  Nathan    Dell 
When    Autumn's    winds    over    the    land

And   proud  little  cedars  are   bent   like 

And  leaves  from  the  arms  of  the  oaks

Flame  inio   gold   and    begin  lo   full, 
When    September's   rains    in    torrents 

descend 
Like  liny  arrows  on  meadows  and  glen. 
And    October's   frost   lies  while  on   the 

ground. 
Glittering   in    ihe    sunlight    for   miles 

around, 
Wh-n    the    mor Es   „„.   „i,„    „„,l 

balmy    and    fair, 
And  the  songs  of  southbound  birds  fill 

the  air. 
And  darkness  swift  as  a  shadow   falls. 
To  linger   in  silence  over  us  all, 
When    a    full    moon,    pale    and    ghostly 

white, 
Penetrates  the  darkness  of  the  chilled

The  P.  T.  A.  held  its  initial  meeting 
September  21,  1951 ;  during  this  time 
officers  were  elected.  This  organiza- 
tion is  planning  a  variety  of  activities 
for  the  coming  school  year. 

Mrs.  D.  C.  Hamilton  is  director  of 
ihe  "Glee  Club"  and  we  anticipate 
having  one  of  the  finest  clubs  of  this 
lype  in  the  history  of  the  school. 
The  Glee  Club  will  consist  of  members 
from   the   upper  grades  of  the  school. 

Mr.  J.  Camper  is  working  very  co- 
operatively wilh  Mrs.  L.  T.  Wilcox  in 
connection  with  the  Student  Council. 

Mrs.  L.  Cliffin,  an  August  graduate 
of  Savannah  Stale  College,  is  efficiently 
conducting  the  fifth  grade  class,  in  the 
absence  of  Miss  M.  Williams  who  is  out 
on  sick  have.  The  faculty  and  pupils 
are  wishing  for  her  a  speedy  recovery. 

During  one  of  our  recent  faculty 
meetings,  Ihe  necessity  of  an  electric 
bell  was  discussed.  Due  lo  the  alert- 
ness of  our  principal,  the  bell  was  in- 
stalled   during    the    past    week-end, 

Miss  B.  Powell  and  Miss  M.  LcCrier

The  students  of  Rev.  Hargrell's  class, 
Education  439,  visiicd  Powell  last  week 
for  observation.  We  are  always  happy 
to  have  visitors  as  well  as  prospective 
teachers  come  over  lo  our  school. 


Thank   Thee    for   the   t

For  the  little  white  cottage  just  around

Thank    Thee  for  rivers  and  dusty  roads,

For  all  the  blessings  you  have  sent  our

SELECTIVE  SERVICE 

Continued   from  Page  5 

"We  are  faced  with  an  emergency 
that  many  experts  predict  will  lust  per- 
haps 10  to  20  years,"  General  Hcrshey 
said.  "We  must,  therefore,  think  in 
long-range  terms,  in  developing  plans 
to  provide  an  adequate  supply  of  high- 
ly skilled  manpower.  I  believe  the 
country  is  aware  that  il  is  logical,  in 
deferring  students  in  the  national  in- 
terest, to  defer  those  wilh  demonstrated 
ability,  instead  of  gambling  on  those 
with  lower  capacity." 

General  Hershey  explained  that  thr' 
intent  of  Congress  was  thut  these  stu- 
denls should  be  deferred  only  until 
they  have  completed  their  college  train- 
"Dcfermcnl"  means  that  a  regis- 
trant shall  have  his  service  delayed  or 
postponed  until  he  completes  his  edu- 
calion.  It  is  by  no  means  an  outright 
exemption. 

The  1951  Amendments  lo  the  Univer- 
sal Military  Training  and  Service  Act 
provide  that   any   registrant   who  was   in 

deferred  classification  on  June  19. 
1951,  or  who  wus  thereafter  placed   in 

deferred  classification  shall  remain 
liable  for  training  and  service  until 
be  reaches  the  age  of  35.  Therefore, 
any  registrant  deferred  now  as  a  stu-

relumed  a  Lion  punt  32  yards  to  the 
Florida  team's  one-yard  stripe. 

John  Chriss,  guard,  also  of  New  Or- 
leans, recovered  a  Lion  fumble  in  the 
visitors*  end  zone  to  score  the  Tiger's 
second  tally.  The  conversion  was  made 
by  C.  P.  Harris,  State's  all-American 
candidate. 

After  taking  over  on  the  Lion's  six- 
yard  line  where  a  fourth  down  punl 
play  was  stopped  by  a  poor  pass  from 
center,  the  Tigers  scored  again  during 
the  last  moments  of  the  initial  period. 
In  two  plays  tlie  victors  lost  four  yards 
but  Robert  Slocum  galloped  over  from 
the  10  for  the  touchdown.  "Sixty- 
minute-man"  Harris  again  converted. 

A  well-oiled  Tiger  machine  rolled  up 
a  safely  early  in  the  second  period 
when  the  foe's  Aivin  Pcarsall  recovered 
a  Tiger  fumble  in  the  Florida  team's 
end  zone.

Pcarsall  broke  through  the  Tiger  line 
by  driving  from  the  2  to  score  the 
Lions'  lone  touchdown  during  the  third 
quarter. 

The  longest  run  of  the  game  was 
made  by  the  "Nancy  Hanks"  Slocum— 
a  run  of  64  yards  augmented  by  a 
lateral  taken  from  Joe  Hardy  on  the 
Tiger  30,  during  the  third  period. 

Odiee  Palmer's  kick  from  the  Lion 
27  early  in  the  fourth  period  was 
blocked  by  W,  F.  Johnson  and  the  fleet 
Harris  scooped  it  up  to  race  away 
for  another  Savannah  State  score. 

A  final  toudldov/n  was  tallied  by

SSC's  Co-ed   Voices 
Opinion    on    Changing 
Name  of  New  York's 
Seventh   Avenue 

Delores  Perry,  a  freshman  coed  of 
Savannah  State  College,  had  a  very 
interesting  experience  during  a  sum- 
mer vacation  in  the  Empire  City.  While 
strolling  through  the  streets  of  the 
same,  she  was  asked  to  voice  her  opin- 
ion on  changing  the  name  of  "7th 
Ave."  lo  "Carver  Boulevard."  He  re- 
ply as  slated  in  the  New  York  Amster- 
dam News  was:  "Even  sounds  better, 
'Carver  Boulevard.'  I'm  (or  it  one  hun- 
dred per  cent.  Certainly  a  name  like 
lhat  would  sound  more  important  than 
a  plain  old  number.  Could  also  be 
way  to  familiarize  children  with  the 
famous  man." 

Miss  Perry,  since  becoming  a  part 
of  SSC's  family,  has  displayed 
markable  brilliance  in  academic 
achievements  and  has  also  affiliated 
herself  with  the  school  hand  under  tin 
direclion  of    Professor   L.  A.  Pyke. 


Cambridge,  Mass.  (/.  P.)  —  Harvard 
College's    curriculum    does    not    present 

ligion    as    effectively    or    comprehen- 
vcly   as    it    might,   according  to   Dean 
Willard  L.  Sperry,  head  of  the  Harvard 
University    Divinity   School. 

It  is  unfortunate,"  Dean  Sperry  de- 
clared, "lhat  some  students  come  to 
College  unaware  of  religion  and  leave 
without   being  awakened." 

Any  man  who  brings  an  interest  in 
eligion  to  Harvard,  he  said,  "will  have 
lo  hunt  for  his  religious  instruction 
and  inspiration,  for  they  will  not  be 
handed  to  him. 

Snnir-  cd  I  he  criticism  of  the  Col 
lege'-  program.  Dean  Sperry  added, 
stems  from  denominational  groups  which 
have  faib-d  lo  instruct  (heir  own  n 
bers  properly  before  they  conn-  to 
lege. 

He  suggested  lhat  formation  oF  small 
inler-racial  discussion  group-  a-  a  way 
to  luster  religious  under-landing  would 
he  of  value,  anil  fell  that  faculty  mem- 
ber- would  be  glad  lo  help  such  groups. 

It  was  pointed  out  here  lhat  Dr. 
Ernest  C.  Colwell,  who  recently  r<  -igned 
a?  pre-ideni  of  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago to  joint  the  faculty  of  Emory 
University  as  a  visiting  professor  for  the 
1951-52  academic  year,  called  univ 
lies  aloof  to  religion.  Dr.  Colwell 
llie  altitude  of  college  faculties 
"one  of  indifference  or  carefully- 
trolled  neutrality."

SSC  Celebrates 
Homecoming 

Once  again  the  faculty  and  studenl 
body  of  Savannah  Slate  flung  wide  the 
gales  of  hospitality  lo  greet  the  alumni 
and  many  friends  of  the  institution  at 
the  annual  Homecoming.  Amid  the 
fast  (ailing  leaves,  I  he  "Harvest  Time" 
celebration  got  underway  under  the 
supervision  of  Mr.  Frank  Tharpe,  in- 
structor in  the  Department  of  Trades 
and  Industries,  and  alumnus  of  the 
College. 

The  Royal  Trio,  featuring  the  come- 
ly Miss  Mary  Ford  as  "Miss  SSC,"  the 
beautifully  decorated  buildings,  I  h  e 
pomp  of  the  Homecoming  parade,  the 
splendid  performance  of  the  Tigers,  the 
precision  of  the  Marching  Band,  the 
meeting  of  friends,  old  and  new — all 
these  and  many  more  made  llie  1951

(Winnenpo/ic,  Minn.— (/.P.)— Meeting 

on  the  campus  of  the  University  of 
Minnesota,  reprcscnlativcs  of  51  studenl 
bodies  in  American  colleges  and  uni- 
versities voted  36-15  in  favor  of  the 
controversial    "honor   system." 

"An  honor  system  should  be  the  basis 
of  education;  it  should  leach  the  stu- 
dent how  lo  conduct  himself,  how  to 
develope  himself,  how  to  think  ft 
himself  and  stand  on  his  own  for  win 
he  believes,"  according  to  Tlielma  Sli 
vena  of  the  Duke  University  studenl 
body.  She  believes  that  "an  honor  sys- 
tem should  lie  the  basis  of  an  indi- 
vidual's honor,  self -discipline,  and  self- 
control." 

Not  in  favor  of  the  honor  system,  Cy- 
ril M.  Wccht  from  the  University  of 
Pittsburgh  said;  "I  believe  llie  entire 
idea  of  the  honor  system  is  vastly  over- 
played. Selling  up  a  plan  which  is 
supposedly  based  on  personal  integrity 
and  individual  honesty  will  nol  make 
heller  students." 


College  Park,  Md.  I/.  P.)— As  col- 
lege students  progress  in  scholastic 
standing,  they  apparently  reverse  their 
attitudes  toward  religion,  as  indicated 
by  a  survey  conducted  by  Milton  I). 
Havron  of  the  University  of  Maryland's 
psychology    deparlment. 

The  religious  aspect  of  the  study  was 
an  ineideniat  finding,  as  its  main  pur- 
pose was  lo  determine  the  relationship 
between  a  person's  attitudes  and  his 
verbal  habits.  Though  the  attitude  to- 
ward religion  was  chosen,  any  attitude 
would   have   served   the   purpose. 

While  the  resulls  indicate  a  trend 
away  from  religion  as  the  student  ad- 
vances,  il  may  also  be  indicative  ol 
meiety  a  trend  away  from  fniiii.il  re- 
ligious expression,  Havron  speculates. 

Participating  in  the  survey  were  ap- 
proximately ('0(1  -tudcii!-.  P-pp-enling 
all  class  -landings  including  those  do- 
ing -  -  >-■•■  ■--  work.  For  ihe  purpose,  of 
the  study,  the  studenl-  wire  classified 
a-  having  either  predominantly  "re- 
ligous"  or  "political-economic"  attitudes 

The  "religious"  person  is  character- 
Led  as  being  acquainted  with  biblical 
rules  of  conduct,  i=  a  church-goer,  be- 
lieves in  personal  .-alvalion,  ethical 
values,  and  in  a  final  day  "f  judgment 

The   "political  economic"   person,   on 
the  oilier  hand,  thinks  more  objectively, 
keeps  ebreasl  of  politics  and 
trends,    regards    Sunday    as    a    day 
rest,    believes   that   material    welfare 
primary    to    ethical    values,    and    likes 

Those  classed  as  "religious"  were 
found  to  attend  church  at  least  one* 
a  monih,  while  among  the  "political 
economic''  group,  some  admitted  no 
having  gone  lo  church  in  several  year 
and  none  attended  as  often  as  once  i 
month. 

The  questionnaire  used  in  the  re- 
search contained  a  list  ol  slimuhr 
words  opposite  of  which  were  two  re 
sponse  words.  The  subjects  were  askct 
lo  choose  llie  response  word  that  they

PRINCETON.  N.  J.,  September   10. 

The  Law  School  Administration  Test 
required  of  applicants  for  admission  to 
a  number  of  leading  American  law 
schools,  will  be  given  al  more  than 
100  centers  throughout  the  United 
States  on  the  mornings  of  November 
17.  1951,  February  23.  April  26,  and 
August  9,  1952.  During  1950-51  over 
6,700  applicants  look  this  lest,  and  their 
scores  were  sent  lo  ninety  law  schools. 

A  candidate  must  make  separate  ap- 
plication for  admission  to  each  law 
school  of  his  choice  and  should  inquire 
of  each  school  whether  it  wishes  him 
lo  lake  the  Law  School  Admission  Tcsl. 
Since  many  law  schools  select  their 
freshman  classes  in  the  spring  preced- 
ing their  entrance,  candidulcs  for  ad- 
mission to  next  year's  classes  are  ad- 
vised to  take  cither  llie  November  or 
the  February*  test,  if  possible. 

The  Law  School  Admission  Test,  pre- 
pared and  administrated  by  Education- 
al Testing  Service,  features  objective 
questions  measuring  verbal  aptitudes 
and  reasoning  ability  rather  than  ac- 
quired information.  According  to  ETS 
it  cannot  he  "crammed"  for.  Sample 
questions  and  information  regarding 
registration  for  and  administration  of 
the  test  are  given  in  a  Bulletin  of  In- 
formal ion. 

Bulletins  and  applications  for  the 
te-l  should  be  obtained  four  lo  six 
weeks  in  advance  of  the  desired  testing 
dale  from  Educational  Testing  Service, 
P.  0.  Box  592.  Princeton,  N.  J.  Com- 
pleted applications  must  be  received 
al  least  ten  days  hefore  the  desired 
testing  date  in  order  lo  allow  ETS  time 
lo  complete  the  necessary  testing  ar- 
rangements   for    each    candidate.

persons  who  qualify  may  become  m(

The    organization    ol    the    chapter 
due    largely    to    the    foresight,    inter) 
and  energetic  efforts  of  Dr.  E.  K.  IK 
liams,  who  explains  Alpha   Kappa   Mu 
is  interested   in   developing  scholarship 
and     is    open    lo    all    Savannah    State 
students    who    maintain     the     required 
average.     Praise   is  also   due   Mr.    Ben 
Ingersoll    and    bis    efficient    staff    who 
checked  the  scholastic  qualifications  of 
each    candidate. 

So  the  rains  of  sound  scholarship  and 
worthy  deeds  still  pour  at  SSC.  The 
noble  circle  of  scholars,  drawn  close 
by  their  love  of  the  true  and  the  beau- 
tiful, will  always,  we  trust,  remain 
unbroken.

KNOWLEDGE  1 5  STRENGTH 


A  GOLDEN  OPPORTUNITY 

During  the  past  three  months,  we  have  been  enjoying,  along  with 
a  number  of  other  SSC  students,  what  we  believe  to  be  "A  Golden 
Opportunity'"  We  have  been  sharing  what  is  known  as  the  Student 
Teacher  experience.  The  practice  of  allowing  prospective  teachers 
act  as  cadets  in  a  real  classroom  situation  for  a  reasonable  length  of 
time  is  probably  one  of  the  most  stimulating  innovations  in  the 
teacher-training  program. 

We  certainly  don't  feel  so  keenly  the  value  or  importance  of  this 
experience  at  first.  We  began  with  some  misgivings  and  anxiety, 
and  viewed  this  as  another  bothersome  requirement  subsequent  to 
graduation. 

What  changed  our  opinion?  While  talking  to  a  few  experienced 
teachers  we  learned  that  the  story  of  this  activity  was  quite  different 
a  few  years  ago,  at  least  so  far  as  SSC  is  concerned.  The  story  of 
its  blooming  development  is  another  saga  in  the  progressive  history 
of  our  College. 

As  told  to  the  writer  by  an  alumnus,  one  attended  college  foi 
the  customary  four  years.  During  one  quarter  for  one  class  period, 
the  cadet  teacher  spent  the  time  observing  a  selected  group  of  pupils. 
For  only  one  day  of  the  entire  period,  each  student  spent  a  day  in 
compile  charge  of  the  class.  There  were  no  seminars,  orientation 
periods,  or  field  trips  such  as  we  have  today. 

Needless  to  say.  we  were  shocked  at  such  a  revelation  and  began 
to  evaluate  seriously  the  program  as  we  know  it.  Here  we  found  in 
a  procedure  most  of  us  take  for  granted,  "A  Golden  Opporunity." 
We  have  a  chance  to  find  our  weaknesses  before  they  find  us  and 
leave  us  labelled  as  "incompetents."  We  are  spared  the  brutal  lesson 
of  the  "school  of  hard  knocks"  and  the  college  of  "trial  and  error." 

The  Student-Teacher  program  is  "A  Golden  Opportunity,"  in 
which  we  learn  much  to  enrich  our  educational  program.  During 
this  period,  opportunities  are  presented  in  a  real  situation  and  in  a 
natural  setting  so  that  we  may  perform  duties  and  exhibit  skills  that 
are  prerequisites  to  success  as  teachers.  Every  day  is  filled  with 
new  and  revealing  experiences.  There  is  nevr  a  dull  inomnt,  for 
our  lives  are  full  and  creative.    So  are  the  young  minds  we  serve. 

The  critic  leathers  are  interested  in  our  personal  growth   and 
development   as  well  as  in   our  professional  accomplishments.     They 
strive,  even  beyond  professional  duty,  to  provide  worthwhile  exper 
ences.     For  Ihis  great  service  they  deserve  high  commendation. 

The  leaching  profession  is  among  man't  greatest  services  to  man 
and  it  is  heartening  to  know  that  Savannah  State  College,  in  step  with 
leading  institutions  of  higher  learning  in  the  nation,  is  providing  t 
tencher-lraiiiing  program  which  is  outstanding. 

Dr.  Calvi  L.  Kiah,  chairman  of  the  department  of  education,  and 
Miss  Donella  J.  Graham,  coordinator  of  student-teaching  on  the 
elementary  school  level,  and  their  staffs,  deserve  high  praise  for  their 
efforts  in  the  advance  and  progress  of  this  important  phase  of  teacher 
education. 

If  greater  opportunities  urc  provided  in  the  area  of  education  and 
teacher-training,  we  believe  Savannah  Stale  will  be  among  the  first 
with   the   finest, 

Hosea  J.  Lofton. 


The  Exchange 
Editor  Speaks 

The  significance  of  special  day-  is 
emphasized  in  the  President's  Message 
in  the  March  issue  ol  the  Southern 
University  Digest.  President  F.  G. 
Clark  wrote:  "Every  great  enterprise 
has  one  great  day  in  its  historical 
repetoire."  He  cited  July  4lh  in  the 
United  Slates;  Charter  Day  at  How- 
ard University;  and  Founder's  Day  at 
Southern  University.  President  Clark 
staled:  "In  these  as  in  all  others, 
these  special  days  are  sacred  because 
in  them  is  symbolized  the  vision,  hard- 
ships, sacrifices  and  ultimate  triumphs 
which  have  taken  the  institution  in 
question  from  a  valley  of  dreams  to  a 
peak    of   realities."

A  Tiger  Rambles  in  the 
Library 

By    Curtis   P.   Harris 

While  browsing  around  in  the  Library 

ic  afternoon,   I   decided   that  I   would 

gather    some    bits    of    information    th; 

might  be  o(  interest  lo  the  SSC  family. 

As  1  wandered  around,  1  discovered 
that  a  new  set  o(  tables  bad  been  ac- 
quired, giving  us  more  room  in  which 
lo  study  without  disturbing  others 
While  examining  the  shelves,  1  eame 
aeross  a  new  collection  of  novels  that 
should  provide  interesting  reading  for 
us.  Two  that  struck  my  eye  were  Frank 
Yerby's  A  It'oman  Called  Fancy,  and 
Cardinal  Spellman's  The  Foundling, 

Miss  Hawkins,  College  Librarian,  lias 
moved  inlo  her  new  office  and  is  ready 
to  lend  assistance,  as  always,  to  those 
who  have  difficulty  in  (biding  materials. 
Five  students  have  been  assigned  lo  ibe 
Library  staff.  They  are:  James  Camp- 
bell, George  Thomas,  Alflela  Gaskin, 
Hazel  Collier,  and  Celesline  Hamilton. 

A  recent  survey  of  the  use  of  the 
Library  by  students  shows  that  more 
of  our  students  are  making  increasing 
u-e  of  this  great  educational  tool.

To  be  one's  best  self  throughout  the 
atudcnt-leaching  experience  is  an  asset 
not   lo  be  even  momentarily  underesti- 
mated.   There  is,  of  course,  no  one  way 
lo  he  one's  self.     Rather,  there  are  some 
iportant   factors   which,   when   out   to- 
gether,   give    you    important    clues    not 
only  lo  the  making  of  a  successful  be- 
ming  in  the  early  days  of  your  stu- 
dent   leaching,    hill    also    to    your    cou- 
nting success   as  a   teacher. 
The  following  suggestions  concerning 
your   responsibility    to   yourself   are   of- 
fered  to   aid   you   in   getting   off  to  a 
good  start.    Your  management  of  lime, 
and  your  personal  appearance  play  im- 
portant   role*    hi    achieving    success    in 
student    leaching. 

A  prospective  cadet  teacher  might  use 
the  following  as  a  checklist  for  groom- 
ing: 

Is    my     clothing    clean    and     well 

Is  my  clothing  practical  (or  the  kinds 
of  activities  in  which  I  must  engage 
with  the  pupils?

What  Is  Our  Destiny? 

The  question,  "What  is  our  destiny?"  has  been  asked  over  and 
over  again,  by  people  of  all  groups.     Even  though  many  of  us  m 
think  of  it,  we  must  face  this  question  in  one  way  or  another. 

If  we  are  to  survive  in  this  atomic  age,  there  is  a  role  for  each 
of  us  to  play  in  our  society.  It  is  our  responsibility  to  utilize  our 
capabilities  to  their  fullest  extent. 

No  individual  thinks  seriously  at  all  times,  but  our  present-day 
conditions  require  serious  thought.  We  must  remember  today  is  but 
a  prelude  to  tomorrow.  Therefore,  il  is  better  for  us  to  begin  now  to 
prepare  ourselves  for  the  tasks  which  lie  ahead  of  us. 

The  Bible  speaks  of  man's  reaping  what  he  sows.  To  that,  I 
should  like  lo  add  thai  some  of  us  sow  infertile  seeds,  especially  whet 
we  spend  our  time  doing  nothing.  Thus,  we  reap  nothing.  There  are 
too  many  people  in  the  world  who  want  nothing;  they  just  tag  along. 
Cuuld  this  he  true  of  some  of  us  here  at  Savannah  State?  Often 
following  discourses  given  by  speakers,  we  hear  remarks  concerning 
our  purpose  nt  this  institution.  This  leads  me  to  wonder  whether  it 
is  a  common  thought  that  abilities  and  talents  are  developed  and  not 
picked  up  by  osmosis. 

An  institution  is  only  as  great  as  its  constituents.  This  needs  no 
confirmation  other  than  to  say  that  men  make  institutions  and  we 
have  great  potentialities  with  us.  We  ourselves  must  face  and  recognize 
our  destiny. 

Ann  Kuth  Howard. 


We  are  wishing  every  student  suc- 
cess in  his  practice  leaching.  We  say.

Creative  Writing 
Edition  Fulfills 
Dream 

This  is  the  story  behind  a  slory  of 
progress.  The  Creative  Writing  Edi- 
tion of  The  Tiger's  Roar,  released  last 
month,  marked  more  than  a  new  high 
in  journalistic  achievement  at  SSC.  In 
addition,  this  literary  effort,  in  the 
words  of  its  preface,  "symbolized  and 
crystallized  an  ideal  which  the  late 
Dean  Janie  Lester  constantly  advocated 
— the  development  of  creative  expres- 
sion among  the  students  of  Savannah 
State." 

During  the  past  year,  several  worth- 
while contributions  of  a  creative  na- 
ture reached  the  Student  Publication 
Office,  but  this  kind  of  material  was 
not  too  well  suited  lo  newspaper  edi- 
tions. Sensing  o  great  need  of  an  out- 
let that  could  encourage  and  utilize 
ihe  students'  creative  talents,  Miss 
Luelta  B,  Colvin,  advisor  lo  student 
publication,  began  exploring  the  possi- 
bility of  doing  a  magazine  edition  ex- 
pressly for  creative  writing.  However, 
this  idea  remained  a  dream  until  the 
advent  of  such  a  publication  last  month. 

Sparked  by  the  sincere  rlesire  for  the 
cultivation  of  creativity  in  expression 
and  thinking  here  al  SSC,  and  the 
kind  encouragement  of  Dr.  W.  K.  Payne 
and  others,  the  staff  produced  its  firs! 
Creative  Writing  Edition. 

Miss  Colvin  deserves  high  commen- 
dation for  her  untiring  efforts  and  un- 
common interest  in  the  fulllillmenl  of 
a  need  and  a  dream  envisioned  by  Dean 
Lester,    to    whom    the    edition    is    dedi- 

It  is  hoped  that  the  Creative  Writing 
Edition  will  become  an  annual  publi- 
cation growing  in  scope  and  quality 
as  SSC's  student  body  grows  in  ap- 
preciation for  self -expression.  It  is 
hoped  that  it  will  become  "an  inspir- 
ing tribute  lo  Dean  Lester's  high  ideals 
and  splendid  example."  It  is  a  project 
born  of  a  few  minds  and  realized  by 
the  concerted  efforts  of  many  minds 
and    influences. 

We  are  especially  appreciative  lo 
those  aiding  this  endeavor  and  we  are 
sincerely  grateful  for  the  kind  expres- 
sions of  approval  to  a  step  in  the  stu- 
dent publication's  climb  lo  recognition 
as  a  leading  college  journal. 


There  is  nothing  like  leaching. 
If  you  like  doing  good  deeds. 
Everyday  >ou  can  feel  certain 
That  you  have  given  lo  one  in  n

Tigers  Win  Two 
Straight  From 
SC  State 

By  Archie  M.  Robinson 
Willi  a  record  of  four  straight  losses 
hanging  oyer  their  head,  the  SSC 
cagers  ended  their  losing  streak  by  de- 
feating Coach  Victor  Kerr's  South 
Larolina  Stale  basketeers  iwice  in  two 
consecutive  games. 

Determination  was  evident  in  the 
lir-t  of  the  games,  played  December 
20.  in  Willco*  Gymnasium,  when 
Charles  McDaniels  dropped  in  three 
field  goals.  That  was  the  sparg  lhai 
lit  the  fire.  From  that  point  on,  the 
Tigers  continued  to  lengthen  their  lead. 
At  the  end  of  the  first  quarter,  the 
Tigers  held  a  nine  point  lead. 

The  score  al  half  time  and  at  the 
end  of  the  third  quarter  was  30-20.  in 
favor  of  the  Tigers.  In  the  final  quar- 
ter, I  be  Tigers  stretched  their  lead 
lo  14  points,  but  due  to  the  sharp 
shooting  of  John  McClain,  the  SC  Bull- 
dug-'  lanky,  6-foot  center,  the  lead 
was  narrowed  down  to  13  points.  Final 
score.   51-38. 

The  second  game,  played  in  the  Al- 
fred E.  Beach  High  School  Gymnasium, 
concluded    the    two-game    winnings    for 

Joseph  Turner,  SSC  captain,  started 
llie  ball  rolling  by  dropping  in  a  basket 
from  the  free  throw  line  within  the 
first  two  minutes  of  the  game. 

Throughout  the  first  quarter,  it  was 
a  battle,  with  the  lead  changing  hands 
five  times.  In  the  last  minute  of  the 
fir-l  quarter,  Maceo  Taylor.  SSC  guard, 
dropped  in  one  lo  put  the  Tigers  out 
front,   15-14. 

Moving  steadily  ahead,  the  Tigers 
lengthened  their  lead  to  11  points  al 
halftime.  The  ihird  quarter  ended 
wilh   a   score  of  44-31,  with   SSC  out 

In  the  fourth  quarter,  the  Bulldogs 
proved  that  their  growl  could  be  just 
as  loud  as  that  of  a  Tiger,  and  began 
to  bite  at  the  Tiger's  lead.  John  Mc- 
Clain racked  up  11  points  lo  narrow 
SSC's  lead  to  7  points  before  the  clock 

High-point  man  for  the  Bulldogs  was 
John  McClaian  with  14  points  in  the 
first  game.  Thomas  Shute  poured  in 
13  in  the  second  game. 

For  the  Tigers,  Charles  McDaniels 
came  out  on  top  in  both  games,  with 
a  Inlal  of  25  for  both.  C.  P.  Harris 
came  second  in  the  first  game,  while 
Maceo    Taylor    was    runner-up    in    the 


Clyde:     "Dearest,    I    must   marry   you." 
Pat  Meeks:    "Have  you  seen  Father  and 

Mother?" 
Clyde:    "Often,  darling,  but  I  love  you 

just  the  same."

The  above  seniors  have  fought  val- 
iantly for  the  orange  and  blue.  It  is 
hoped  that  their  cage  performances  will

Polio  Pledge 

If  Polio  Comes  to  My 
Community 

/    WILL 

Let  my  children  continue  to  play 
and  be  wilh  their  usual  companions. 
They  have  already  been  exposed  to 
whatever  polio  virus  may  be  in  that 
group,  and  they  may  have  developed 
immunity    I  protection)    against   ii. 

Teach  my  children  to  scrub  bands  be- 
fore putting  food  in  their  moulhs.  Polio 
virus  may  be  carried  into  the  body 
through  the  mouth. 

Sr.e  that  my  children  never  use  any 
body  else's  towels,  wash  cloths  or  dirty 
drinking  glas-c-.  dishes  and  tableware. 
Polio  virus  could  be  carried  from  these 
things  to  other   people. 

Follow  my  doc'or's  advice  about  nose 
and  throat  operations,  inoculations,  or 
teeth  extractions  during  the  polio  sea- 
son. 

Be  ever  watchful  for  signs  of  polio; 
headache,  hver,  sore  throat,  upset 
stomach,  tenderness  and  stiffness  of  the 
neck  and   back. 

Call   my   doctor  at  once,  and    in   ihe 
meantime,   put    to   bed    and   away    from 
others,  any  member  of  my  family  show- 
ing such   symptoms, 
/  WILL  NOT 

\\ in]    children    to    mingle    with 

irangers  c  pcdally  in  crowds,  or  ge 
into  home-  outside  their  own  circle. 
There  are  three  different  viruses  that 
cause  polo.  My  children's  group  may 
be  Immune  to  one  of  those.  Strangers 
may  carry  another  polio  virus  to  which 
they    are    not    immune. 

Let  my  children  become  fatigued  or 
chilled.  Overtired  or  chilled  bodies  are 
less  able  to  fight  off  polio. 

Take    my    children    away    from    our 
community   without   good  cause.     Polio 
lime  is  the   lime   to  stay  at   home  and 
keep  with  everyday  companions. 
IF  POLIO  STRIKES  MY  HOME 
I  WILL 

Have  confidence  in  my  doctor,  know- 
ing ihe  earlier  ihe  care,  the  better  my 
child's  chances  lor  complete  recovery. 
I  know  thai  my  child  has  a  better  than 
even  chance  lo  recover  without  paralysis. 

Cull  my  local  chapter  of  the  National 
Foundation  for  Infantile  Paralysis  im- 
mediately for  information  or  help.  The 
telephone  book  or  my  health  depart- 
ment will  lell  me  how  to  reach  ihe 
chapter. 

Remember  thai  whatever  financial 
help  my  family  needs  for  polio  care 
will  be  given  through  the  chapter.  This

There  Is  Nothing  Like 
Teaching 

By    Christine    Cheryl    Wright 
There  is   nothing  more  amusing 
Than  lo  watch  dear  children  grow. 
There  is  nothing  so  encouraging. 
And  you  wani  to  teach  them  more. 
There  is  nothing  in  the  world  like 

teaching. 

There   is   nothing   quite   so   tedious. 
You  keep  toiling  all  the  day. 
Yet    at    evening   on    retiring 
You  can  still  find  time  lo  say, 
"There  is  nothing  in  the  world  like 
teaching," 

True,  there  is  nothing  quite  like 

teaching. 
It  may   he  the  job  for  you. 
For  you'll   gel  more  satisfaction. 
Than   from  any  work  you  do. 
'Cause — there's   nothing    in    the   world 

like   teaching.

A  Scene  from  the  Eternal  Drama 

Laughter,  joys,  heartaches,  happiness,  sorrows,  tears!  These  are 
the  thing?  that  formulate  the  character  of  our  think  when  we  commune 
with  the  events  of  our  yesteryears  on  the  Savannah  State  College 
campus.  These  are  the  tilings  that  form  the  foundation  of  our  partici- 
pation in  God's  wonderful  creation  —  the  eternal  drama.  These  are 
the  things  thai  symbolize  our  shrine  as  it  is  being  built  from  day  to 
day.  These  are  the  tilings  that  have  earned  places  in  our  albums 
of  prized  memoirs.  Let  this  be  your  choice  album  while  the  incidents 
within  shall  be  forever  prized. 

FORWARD  TO  THE  1952  TIGER! 


KNOWLEDGE  1 5  STRENGTH 


A  GOLDEN  OPPORTUNITY 

During  the  past  three  months,  we  have  been  enjoying,  along  with 
a  number  of  other  SSC  students,  what  we  beUeve  to  be  "A  Gold' 
Opportunity."  We  have  been  sharing  what  is  known  as  the  Student- 
Teacher  experience.  The  practice  of  allowing  prospective  teachers 
act  as  cadets  in  a  real  classroom  situation  for  a  reasonable  length  of 
time  is  probably  one  of  the  most  stimulating  innovations  in  the 
teacher-training  program. 

We  certainly  don't  feel  so  keenly  the  value  or  importance  of  this 
experience  at  first.  We  began  with  some  misgivings  and  anxiety, 
and  viewed  this  as  another  bothersome  requirement  subsequent  to 
graduation. 

What  changed  our  opinion?  While  talking  to  a  few  experienced 
teachers  we  learned  that  the  story  of  this  activity  was  quite  different 
a  few  years  ago,  at  least  so  far  as  SSC  is  concerned.  The  story  of 
its  blooming  development  is  another  saga  in  the  progressive  history 
of  our  College. 

As  told  to  the  writer  by  an  alumnus,  one  attended  college  for 
the  customary  four  years.  During  one  quarter  for  one  class  period, 
the  cadet  teacher  spent  the  time  observing  a  selected  group  of  pupils. 
For  only  one  day  of  the  entire  period,  each  student  spent  a  day  in 
compile  charge  of  the  class.  There  were  no  seminars,  orientation 
periods,  or  field  trips  such  as  we  have  today. 

Needless  to  say,  we  were  shocked  at  such  a  revelation  and  began 
to  evaluate  seriously  the  program  as  we  know  it.  Here  we  found  in 
a  procedure  most  of  us  take  for  granted,  "A  Golden  Opporunity. 
We  have  a  chance  to  find  our  weaknesses  before  they  find  us  and 
leave  us  labelled  as  "incompetents. "  We  are  spared  the  brutal  lesson 
of  the  "school  of  hard  knocks"  and  the  college  of  "trial  and  error." 

The  Student-Teacher  program  is  "A  Golden  Opportunity,"  in 
which  we  learn  much  to  enrich  our  educational  program.  Durii 
this  period,  opportunities  are  presented  in  a  real  situation  and  in 
natural  setting  so  that  we  may  perform  duties  and  exhibit  skills  that 
are  prerequisites  to  success  as  teachers.  Every  day  is  filled  with 
new  and  revealing  experiences.  There  is  nevr  a  dull  nionint,  for 
our  lives  are  full  and  creative.    So  are  the  young  minds  we  serve. 

The  critic  teachers  are  interested  in  our  personal  growth  and 
development  as  well  as  in  our  professional  accomplishments.  They 
strive,  even  beyond  professional  duly,  to  provide  worthwhile  experi- 
ences.   For  this  great  service  they  deserve  high  commendation. 

The  leaching  profession  is  among  man't  greatest  services  to  man 
and  it  is  heartening  lo  know  that  Savaunuh  State  College,  in  step  with 
leading  institutions  of  higher  learning  in  the  nation,  is  providing  a 
teacher-training  program   which  is  outstanding. 

Dr.  Calvi  L.  Kiah,  chairman  of  the  department  of  education,  and 
Miss  Donella  J.  Graham,  coordinator  of  student-teaching  on  the 
elementary  school  level,  and  their  slaffs,  deserve  high  praise  for  their 
efforts  in  the  advance  and  progress  of  this  important  phase  of  teacher 
education. 

If  greater  opportunities  are  provided  in  the  areu  of  education  and 
tcacher-lrainiug.  we  believe  Savannah  State  will  he  among  the  first 
with   the   finest

in  the  March  issue  of  the  Southern 
University  Digest.  President  F.  G. 
Clark  wrote:  "Every  great  enterprise 
has  one  great  day  in  its  historical 
repetoire."  He  cited  July  4th  in  the 
■Juried  Slates;  Charter  Day  at  How- 
ard University;  and  Founder's  Day  al 
Southern  University.  President  Clark 
staled:  "In  these  as  in  all  others, 
these  special  days  are  sacred  because 
in  them  is  symbolized  the  vision,  bard- 
ships,  sacrifices  and  ultimate  triumphs 
which  have  laken  the  institution  in

peak    of   realities."

"Then  so  he  it,  students,  that  in

the  riches  that  are  latent  there.  The 
quality  of  what  we  use,  and  how  we 
use  it  in  our  mining  will  be  great  de- 
terminers of  the  quality  of  our  finished 
products.  No  place  on  earth  can  give 
us  a  better  foundation  for  the  develop- 
ment of  our  mining  techniques  than 
Ibis  school  of  mining  at  which  we  are 
now  students.  The  gold  which  we  may 
later  yield  to  the  world  is  in  the  ore 
which  we  are  now  learning  lo  refine. 
Let  us,  then,  learn  our  art  well,  and 
apply  it  so  well  that  our  gold  will 
glory  for  years  to  come." 


A  Tiger  Rambles  in  the 
Library 

By    Curti-   P.    Harris 

While  browsing  around  in  the  Library 

"in-  afternoon,   I  decided  that   I   would 

gather    some    hits    of    information    that 

might  be  of  interest  to  the  SSC  family. 

As  I  wandered  around,  1  discovered 
thai  a  new  set  of  tables  had  been  ac- 
quired, giving  us  more  room  in  which 
lo  study  without  disturbing  olhers. 
Wbil,-  examining  the  shelves,  1  can 
across  a  new  collection  of  novels  th, 
should  provide  interesting  reading  for 
us.  Two  that  struck  my  eye  were  Frank 
Verby's  A  Woman  Called  Fancy,  and 
Cardinal  Spellman's  The  Foundling. 

Miss  Hawkins,  College  Librarian,  has 
moved  into  her  new  office  and  is  ready 
to  lend  assistance,  as  always,  to  those 
who  have  difficulty  in  finding  materials. 
Five  students  have  been  assigned  to  the 
Library  staff.  They  are:  James  Camp- 
bell,  Ceorge  Thomas,  Alflcta  Gaskin, 
Ha/el  Collier,  and  Ct-lestinc  Hamilton. 

-A  recent  survey  of  the  use  of  the 
Library  by  students  shows  thai  more 
of  our  students  an-  making  increasing 
use  of  this  great  educational  tool.

What  Is  Our  Destiny? 

The  question,  "What  is  our  destiny?"  has  been  asked  over  and 
over  again,  by  people  of  all  groups.  Even  though  many  of  us  never 
think  of  it,  we  must  face  this  question  in  one  way  or  another. 

If  we  are  to  survive  in  this  atomic  age,  there  is  a  role  for  each 
of  us  to  play  in  our  society.  It  is  our  responsibility  to  utilize  our 
capabilities  to  their  fullest  extent. 

No  individual  thinks  seriously  al  all  times,  but  our  present-day 
conditions  require  serious  thought.  We  must  remember  today  is  hut 
a  prelude  to  tomorrow.  Therefore,  it  is  better  for  us  to  begin  now  to 
prepare  ourselves  for  the  tasks  which  lie  ahead  of  us. 

The  Bible  speaks  of  man's  reaping  what  lie  sows.  To  that,  I 
should  like  to  add  that  some  of  us  sow  infertile  seeds,  especially  when 
we  spend  our  time  doing  nothing.  Thus,  we  reap  nothing.  There  are 
too  many  people  in  the  world  who  want  nothing;  they  just  tag  along. 
Could  this  be  true  of  some  of  us  here  at  Savannah  Stale?  Often 
following  discourses  given  by  speakers,  we  hear  remarks  concerning 
our  purpose  at  this  institution.  This  leads  me  to  wonder  whether  it 
a  common  thought  thai  abilities  and  talents  are  developed  and  not 
picked  up  by  osmosis. 

An  institution  is  only  as  great  as  its  constituents.  This  needs  no 
finnalion  other  than  to  say  that  men  make  institutions  and  we 
e  great  potentialities  with  us.   We  ourselves  must  face  and  recognize 


■  destiny. 


Ann  Ruth  Howard 


This  is  the  story  behind  a  story  of 
progress.  The  Creative  Writing  Edi- 
tion of  The  Tiger's  Roar,  released  last 
month,  marked  more  than  a  new  high 
journalistic  achievement  at  SSC.  In 
addition,  this  literary  effort,  in  the 
words  of  its  preface,  "symbolized  and 
crystallized  an  ideal  which  the  late 
Dean  Janie  Lester  constantly  advocated 
— Ihe  development  of  creative  expres- 
sion among  the  students  of  Savannah 
State." 

During  the  past  year,  several  worth- 
while  contributions  of  a  creative  na- 
ture reached  ihe  Student  Publication 
Office,  but  this  kind  of  material  was 
not  loo  well  suited  lo  newspaper  edi- 
tions. Sensing  a  great  need  of  an  out- 
let that  could  encourage  and  utilize 
ihe  students'  creative  talents.  Miss 
Luetla  B.  Colvin,  advisor  lo  studenl 
publication,  began  exploring  the  possi- 
bility of  doing  a  magazine  edition  ex- 
pressly for  creative  writing.  However, 
this  idea  remained  a  dream  until  the 
advent  of  such  a  publication  last  month. 
Sparked  by  ihe  sincere  desire  for  the 
cultivation  of  creativity  in  expression 
and  thinking  here  at  SSC,  and  ihe 
kind  encouragement  of  Dr.  W.  K.  Payne 
and  others,  the  staff  produced  its  first 
Creative  Writing  Edition. 

Miss  Colvin  deserves  high  commen- 
dation for  her  untiring  efforts  and  un- 
common interest  in  the  fulfillment  of 
a  need  and  a  dream  envisioned  by  Dean 
Lester,  lo  whom  ihe  edition  is  dedi- 
cated. 

It  is  hoped  that  ihe  Creative  Writing 
Edition  will  become  an  annual  publi- 
cation growing  in  scope  and  i|ualily 
as  SSC's  student  hody  grows  in  ap- 
precialion  (or  self-expression.  It  is 
hoped  that  it  will  become  "an  inspir- 
ing tribute  lo  Dean  Lester's  high  ideals 
and  splendid  example."  It  is  a  project 
born  of  a  few  minds  and  realized  by 
the  concerted  efforts  of  many  minds 
ami    influences. 

We  are  especially  appreciative  to 
those  aiding  this  endeavor  and  we  are 
sincerely  grateful  for  ihe  kind  expres- 
sions of  approval  lo  a  step  in  ihe  stu- 
dent publication's  climb  to  recognition 
leading  college  journal. 


There  is  nothing  like  leaching. 
If  you  like  doing  good  deeds. 
Everyday  you  can  feel  certain 
That  you  have  given  lo  one  in  need.

With    Allen 

By   Charles    McDaniels 

The  SSC  Tigers  split  a  double-head- 
er with  the  Allen  University  Yellow 
Jackets,  January  18.  The  Yellow  Jackets 
look  the  first  half,  with  a  score  of 
43-37.  Tile  Tigers  took  the  niglit-cap, 
61-53. 

The  girls'  game  was  "till  Allen"  un- 
til the  last  quarter,  when  Marlha 
Hawls,  high-scoring  ace  for  the  Tiger- 
ellcs,  went  to  work  dropping  buckets 
from  the  noor.  Allen  won  the  scor- 
ing honors,  with  L.  Dinkins  tossing  in 
13  points.  For  the  losers,  Martha 
Hawls  dropped  in  18,  while  Nela  Sta- 
Icy  came  up  with  7. 

Slate's  cagers  were  paced  by  Robert 
"Nancy  Hanks"  Slocum.  The  game 
was  a  nip  and  luck  battle  until  the 
fourth,  when  Slate  came  into  her  own, 
cracking  the  Yellow  Jacket's  zone  de- 
fense. 

Then  Slocum  broke  loose,  and  scored 
two  Blraighl  buckets,  giving  State  a 
four-pninl  lead.  Allen  never  recovered 
from  thai  blow,  os  the  game  moved 
ahead  for  the  Tigers.  Allen  came 
within  two  points  of  tying  llie  score,

By    Christine    Cheryl    Wright 
There   is  nothing   more -amusing 
Than   to  watch  dear  children  grow. 
There  is  nothing  so  encouraging, 
And  you   want  to  leach  them  more. 
There  is  nothing  in  the  world  like 

teaching. 


There   is  nothing   quite 
You   keep  foiling  all  the

You  can  still  find  time  to  say, 
"There  is  nothing  in  the  world  like 
teaching." 

True,  there   is  nothing  quite  like 
teaching. 

It  may  be  the  job   for  you. 
For  you'll  get  more  satisfaction, 
Than  from  any  work  you  do. 
'Cause — there's    nothing    in    ihe   woi 
like  leaching.

Miss  Camilla  Williams,  leading 
soprano  of  the  New  York  City 
Opera  for  five  years,  a  concert 
singer  who  has  captivated  two  con- 
tinents from  Venezuela  to  northern 
Alaska,  a  soloist  with  orchestra 
whose  "beautiful  singing"  has 
been  publicly  praised  by  Stokowski, 
will  be  presented  in  Concert  at  Sa- 
vannah State  College. 

Miss  Williams  will  appear  in 
Meldrim  Auditorium,  Friday,  Au- 
gust 8  at  8:30  p.  m.  in  the  second 
Lyceum  feature  of  the  summer. 
Todd  Duncan,  internationally  fam- 
ous baritone,  was  the  first  Lyceum 
attraction,  appearing  on  June  30. 

Bom  in  Danville,  Virginia,  Ca- 
milla Willams  was  graduated  from 
Virginia  State  College.  Granted  a 
scholarship  by  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation she  came  to  Philadelphia  to 
study  under  Mme.  Marian  Szekely- 
Freschl.  Within  less  than  a  year 
she  won  the  annual  Marian  Ander- 
son Award.'  In  1944  she  again 
emerged  as  a  winner.  Soon  after 
she  won  further  recognition  as  the 
winner  of  the  Philadelphia  Orches- 
tra  Youth   Concert  Auditions. 

The  New  Year  1946  brought  the 
young  soprano,  who  by  that  time 
had  begun  to  fill  a  limited  number 
of  concert  engagements,  an  audi- 
tion with  Laszlo  Halasz,  Music  Di- 
rector of  the  New  York  City  Opera 
Company,  who  offered  the  gifted 
girl  her  great  opportunity  —  the 
role  of  Butterfly. 

Tradition  was  broken  and  news 
made  the  night  of  May  15,  1946, 
when  kimono-clad  Camillia  Wil- 
liams fluttered  out  and  created  a 
new  Cio-Cio-San.  In  the  audience 
the  most  famous  Butterfly  of  her 
time,  Geraldine  Farrar,  who  led  the 
capacity  house  in  the  applause, 
stated:  "She  already  is  one  of  the 
great  Butterflys  of  our  day."  She 
soon  became  "the  most  talked  of 
postwar  Cio-Cio-San,"  reported 
TIME  MAGAZINE. 

Since  then  the  soprano  has  ap- 
peared regularly  with  the  New 
York  City  Opera,  both  at  home  and 
on  tour.  She  soon  added  other 
roles  to  her  repertoire,  Nedda  in 
"Pagliacci",  "La  Boheme,"  and  the 
title  role  of  "Aida."

Secondary  Workshop  Furnishes  In-Service 
Teachers  Practical  Experiences 

By  MRS.  E.  C.  BRYANT 


The  Secondary  Workshop  of  Sa- 
vannah State  College  was  among 
the  most  interesting  groups 
summer  school  during  the  first  i 
sion.  All  members  engaged 
teaching  tackled  varied  problems 
in  the  different  communities  in 
which  they  teach. 

As  an  individual  project  each 
teacher  has  chosen  a  major  prob- 
lem in  his  school  and  is  making  a 
study  of  it  to  present  as  a  proposal 
to  help  correct  the  conditions. 

The  surveys,  discussions,  confer- 
ences, and  tactful  guidance  of 
teachers  have  made  this  a  prac- 
tical  accomplishment. 

The  weekly  field  trips  have  given 
much  information  in  the  area  of 
service.

The  secondary  workshop  was  or-

the  course  outlined  immediately. 

The  committees  were  as  follows:

and   Miss,  Mildred  Boyd.

The  workshop  officers  were  as 
follows: 

Secretary,  Miss  Juanita  Howard; 
Assistant  Secretary,  Mrs.  R.  G. 
Zealy;  and  Treasurer,  Mr.  Richard 
Wilson. 

The  committee  in  Resource  Per- 
sons was  particularly  interested  In 
obtaining  individuals  whose  expe- 
riences in  fields  relevant  to  the 
surveys  would  t  serve  as  enriching 
material. 

Dr.  W.  K.  Payne,  President  of 
Savannah  State  College  was  our 
first  consultant.  He  spoke  on  Hu- 
man Relations.  Some  high  points 
e  Human  Relations  is  the  most 
important  factor  in  the  solution  of 
problems;  it  breaks  down  stero- 
types;  and  it  is  based  on  the  in- 
telligence of  human  values.  It  frees 
the  best  in  an  individual,  and  the 
best  agency  for  spreading  good 
human  relations  is  through  the 
hild  in  the  classroom. 

On  June  20  Mr.  Theodore  Wright 
[poke  to  us  on  Physical  Education 
and  health.  He  stressed  health 
and  physical  education  as  a  part 
of  education  for  the  youth.  He  out- 
d  three  factors  of  physical  edu- 
cation: (1)  Power  to  act — which  we 
strength  and  endurance;  (2) 
Skill  to  act  —  flexibility,  timing, 
balance,  and  relaxation;  and  (3) 
otivation  to  act — goal  or  purpose. 

The  Public  Relations  Depart- 
ment was  well  represented  by  Mr. 
W.  H.  M.  Bowens  on  June  27.  He 
stated  that  Public  Relations  is  a 
ay  of  life  and  that  a  public  re- 
lations program  should  include  the 
school  and  all  phases  of  the  com- 
munity. It  is  an  art  of  dealing 
with  the  public.  The  tools  of  pub- 
lic  relations   are    Publicity — news- 


papers, radio  and  television,  school 
paper,  faculty  staff,  alumni  and 
friends. 

After  the  discussion  we  had  a 
broader  view  of  human  relations, 
All  committees  played  an  impor- 
tant role  in  making  the  workshop 
beneficial.

Todd  Duncan  Presented 
as  Lyceum  Feature 

Receives  Tremendous 
Ovation 

By  JOHN  A.  ALDRIDGE 

In  a  splendid  concert,  Todd  Dun 
can,  internationally  famous  bari 
tone,  sang  to  a  large,  appreciative 
audience  in  Meldrim  Hall  Audito- 
rium, Monday  evening,  June  30, 
1952,  at  8:30  p.  m. 

The  brilliant  artist  magnificently 
displayed  the  talents  of  a  truly 
great  performer  in  the  areas  of 
tone  quality,  richness,  interpreta- 
tion and  coordination,  qualities  that 
could  only  be  manifest  by  a  true 
artist.  All  of  this  despite  singing 
under  the  pressure  of  90  degree 
heat. 

Opening  the  concert  with  Han- 
del's "Hear  Me,  Ye  Winds  and 
Waves"  from  "Scipio,"  Mr.  Dun- 
can went  through  the  widely  varied 
program  with  ease.  He  displayed 
his  unusual  interpretative  ability  in 
the  masterful  renditions  of  Schu- 
bert's 'Dr.  Erlkonig"  and  "The 
Seminarist"  by  Moussorgsky. 

During  the  second  half  of  the 
program,  Mr.  Duncan's  magnifi- 
cent handling  of  Massenet's  "Vis- 
ion Fugitive"  from  "Herodiade" 
and  Saint-Saens  "Danse  Macabre" 
received  appreciative  applause 
from  the  audience.  The  richness 
of  his  voice  and  excellent  expres- 
sons  gave  full  meanng  to  the  group 
of  Negro  spirituals,  Haitian  and 
Creole  folk  songs  which  he  sang. 
Mr.  Duncan  delighted  the  audience 
with  his  superb  interpretation  of 
Gershwin's  "I  Got  Plenty  of  Nut- 
tin,'  from  "Porgy  and  Bess,"  the 
Broadway  smash-hit  in  which  he 
starred.  He  sang  as  an  encore  the 
very  amusing  "Song  of  the  Flea" 
by    Moussorgsky. 


Mrs.  Brown:  "I  wonder  If  yau 
would  be  so  kind  as  to  weigh  this 
package  for  me?" 

Butcher:  "Why  certainly,  it 
weighs  exactly  three  and  a  half 
pounds,  Ma'am.'! 

Mrs.  Brown:  "Thank  you.  It 
contains  the  bones  you  sent  me  in 
that  four-pound   roast  yesterday." 


"I  got  35  In  arithmetic  and  40  in 
spelling  but  I  sure  knocked  'em  cold 
in    geography." 

"What  did  you  get?" 

"Zero." 


Everyday  Problems 
Discussed  in  Social 
Problems  Class 


By  ANNIE  R.  ROEBUCK 

What  are  Social  problems?  "So- 
cial problems  are  those  abnormal 
conditions  appearing  in  group  life 
which  are  considered  dangerous 
antj   intolerable." 

During  the  first  session  of  sum- 
mer school,  the  class  in  Modern 
Social  Problems  -151  was  one  of  the 
most  interesting  classes  on  the 
campus.  Its  objective  was  to  deal 
with  social  problems  in  a  unique 
fashion. 

Members  of  this  class  were  rep- 
resentatives of  different  sections 
of  Georgia,  thereby  bringing  varied 
problems  for  classroom  study. 

Lectures,  library  study,  discus- 
sions, group  study  and  movies  gave 
informative  appeal,  This  in  itself 
substantiates  the  statement  made 
by  the  instructor,  Dean  W.  J.  Hol- 
loway  that,  "We  must  do  sound 
thinking  about  the  problems  that 
exist  today." 

Being  aware  of  this  fact  and  the 
fact  that  vast  changes  in  the  social 
world  create  many  perplexing 
problems,  the  class  was  organized 
into  groups  to  study  some  timely 
problems.  These  were  as  follows: 
Group  I 

Political  Corruption  —  Mrs. 
Mamye  Pickett,  Chairman,  Ameri- 
cus,  Georgia;  Mrs.  Evelyn  Wright, 
Athens,  Georgia;  Mrs.  Lula  E. 
Walker,  Douglas,  Georgia;  Mrs, 
Hattie  Anderson,  Riceboro,  Geor- 
gia; and  Mrs.  Veronica  S.  Wash- 
ington, Savannah,  Georgia. 
Group  II 

Mental  Diseases — Mrs.  Marie 
Day,  Chairman,  Atlanta,  Georgia; 
Mrs.  Mable  J.  Garbett,  Savannah, 
Georgia;  Mrs.  Ophelia  Futch, 
Hinesville,  Georgia;  Miss  Areola 
Harris.  Savannah,  Georgia;  and 
Mrs.  Virgie  L.  Holland,  Savannah, 
Georgia. 

Group  III

den,  Chairman,  Savannah,  Georgia; 
Mr.  Wayne  Hawes,  Lincolnton, 
Georgia;  Mrs.  Martha  Edwards,

Dowdy,  Hull,  Georgia;  and  Miss 
Elizabeth  Lee,  Augusta, .  Georgia.

Study  of  Art 
Brings  Appreciation 

Reveals  Historical  Facts 

By 
MRS.   GERTRUDE    D.   THOMAS 

In  addition  to  visualization  and 
skill  in  self  expression,  a  study  of 
,rt  and  other  people  and  other 
times  is  important  in  the  growth  of 
appreciation.  Practically  all  works 
of  art  are  historical  and  therefore 
form  a  rich  source  of  information 
of  the  country  and  the  period  in 
which  they  were  produced.  The 
art  of  a  people  is  an  interpreta- 
tion of  its  interests — religious,  so- 
cial, economic,  and  political.  Since 
artists  are  usually  sensitive  men, 
their  works  tell  of  the  events  and 
the   people  that  interest   them. 

Frequently  events  of  past  ages 
are  more  fascinating  than  those 
of  the  present  day,  und  the  biog- 
raphies of  the  men  who  produced 
the  great  masterpieces  may  be  as 
absorbing  as  fiction.  When  thi 
aims  that  motivate  the  artist,  th< 
trials  and  difficulties  that  beset 
his  honest  efforts,  or  the  more 
pleasant  success  and  honors  that  he 
enjoys  are  known,  his  works  are 
more  deeply  appreciated.  In  the 
experience  of  others,  there  is  t 
wealth  of  material  that  can  be  se- 
lected  to  develop  one  so  that  he1 
may  become  more  cultured  and  in- 
formed, and  thereby  better  able  t< 
inderstand  and  evaluate  the  work: 
of  other  people  and  other  ages. 

Enjoyment  and  appreciation  fol- 
low proper  and  artistic  selection 
and  arrangement  of  works  of  art 
some  form  or  other.  And  if 
properly  studied,  we  will  learn  to 
appreciate  not  only  the  master- 
pieces of  the  artist,  the  handiwork 
of  man,  but  more  especially  the 
marvelous  power  of  the  artist  when 
all  powers  are  combined  with  the 
ability  to  demonstrate  the  funda- 
mental principles  of  art — its  chief 
facets,  the  nature  of  form,  and  the 
elements  of  form — for  it  Is  then 
the  artist  accomplishes  his  part 
to  develop  true  art  which  will 
strengthen  our  appreciation  and 
become  a  source  of  Inspiration  for 
us  to  respect,  to  share  and  to  ap- 
preciate the  productions  of  our  fel- 
lowmen,  whether  these  productions 
are  those  of  the  work  of  artists  of 
today  or  the  works  of  the  masters 
of  all  ages.

Arts  and  Crafts 
Workshop  Does 
Creative  Work 

By   MRS.   MELBA   McLENDON 

The  first  summer  session  Arts 
and  Crafts  Workshop  was  very  ac- 
tive this  summer.  It  was  composed 
of  forty-nine  in-service  and  pros- 
pective teachers  and  was  under  the 
direction  of  Mrs.  Rosemary  Curley 
Jackson. 

The  group  did  scribble  designs, 
spatter  painting,  finger  painting, 
tempera  painting,  papier  mache 
animals,  soap  carving,  weaving, 
blue-printing  and  block  printing. 
Many  individuals  worked  on  special 
projects  and  were  quite  successful. 

It  was  quite  revealing  bo  see 
such  beautiful  objects  made  from 
waste  materials. 

Mrs.  Jackson  was  quite  success- 
ful in  taking  the  class,  as  a  whole, 
back  to  its  childhood  days.  By 
creative  drawings  and  dabbling  in 
paint,  the  average  individual  In 
the  class  wandered  mentally  hack- 
to  childhood.  I  am  quite  confident 
that  the  many  experiences  that  we 
shared  in  the  workshop  this  sum- 
mer will  be  of  great  benefit  to  our 
pupils  in  the  next  school  year. 

66  Enrolled  in

Educational  Value  of  Cultural  Activities 

_  To  what  extent  are  we  as  college  students  interested  in  cultural 
activities?  Have  you  ever  stopped  to  think  of  the  value  of  a  cultural 
education? 

While  visiting  New  York,  what  would  interest  you  most?  Would 
it  be  the  operas,  museums,  art-exhibits,  Radio  City,  the  great  uni- 
versities, baseball  parks,  night  clubs  or  the  races.  Because  of  the  value 
of  a  well-rounded  education  the  college  Lyceum  committee  has  at- 
tempted to  work  out  its  program  in  order  to  provide  for  well-rounded 
entertainment.  The  programs  presented  by  the  committee  are  as  much 
a  part  of  our  education  as  textbooks  and  classes. 

On  Monday  night,  June  30,  Todd  Duncan,  well  known  baritone  was 
presented  in  concert  as  a  Lyceum  feature  in  Meldrim  Auditorium  His 
program  consisted  of  a  number  of  classics,  folk-songs,  Negro  spirituals 
and  light  opera.  Some  of  his  numbers  were  done  in  German,  others 
m  French  and  others  in  Russian.  The  melodies,  as  distinguished  from 
the  lyrics,  were  very  easy  to  follow  and  the  audience  was  mad  with 
enthusiasm.  Even  though  the  lyrics  were  difficult  to  understand  Mr 
Duncan  s  interpretation  was  superb. 

Incidentally,  we  pay  for  these  activities,  and  according  to  reports 
Mr.  Duncan  received  in  the  neighborhood  of  one-thousand  dollars  for 
his  performance. 

Only  a  small  number  of  students  were  present  at  this  concert 
Phis  is  typical  of  cultural  programs  in  general.  These  are  things 
students  pay  for  and  certainly  help  to  broaden  a  student's  cultural 
knowledge  and  experience.  One  should  be  more  interested  and  apprecia- 
tive of  the  fine  things  of  life.  He  should  also  look  for  things  of  a  higher 
nature,  for  one  of  the  main  functions  of  education  is  -to  cultivate  with- 
in one  an  appreciation  for  those  things  which  require  some  time  and 
effort  to  cultivate. 

Suppose  Ruth  Brown  or  Billy  Eckstine  had  been  here.  Would  the 
auditorium  have  been  filled  to  its  capacity?  Verv  likely  it  would  have

For  this  issue  our  roving  reporter 
asked  the  question  "Do  You  Think 
Men  S  hould  Give  Women  Their 
Seats  On  The  Bus?"  The  Answers 
are  given  below.  What  Do  You 
Think? 

By  ALTA  VAUGHN 

1.  No.     They  are    puffing   and 

smoking  just  like  men.  Let  them 
stand.     E.G.B. 

2.  If  the  bus  goes  to  a  govern- 
ment plant,  the  first  person  that 
comes  should  get  the  seat.  Too 
many  women  depend  on  chivalry 
and  it  is  dead.  If  an  elderly  woman 
gets  on,  it  might  be  all  right.  How- 
ever, if  he  does  not  want  to  give 
up  his  seat,  he  should  hold  it.  An 
old  lady  should  have  the  prefer- 
ence.    L.W. 

3.  Women  have  lost  their  femin- 
ity. Let  them  stand  if  they  are  not 
too  elderly.    M.L.M. 

4.  Men  should  let  their  consci- 
ence be  their  guide.    A.R.M.M. 

5.  Definitely  I  do.  Though  the 
age  of  chivalry  has  passed,  men 
could  show  more  courtesy.     L.L.F. 

6.  It  depends  on  the  age.  If  it  is 
an  elderly  person  they  should  get 
up.  If  it  is  a  younger  person,  they 
should  not  get  up.  '  Times  are 
changing.     S.K. 

Whether  a  man  is  to  stand  and 
let  a  lady  sit  should  depend  on  age. 
If  the  man  is  older,  let  him  have 
the  seat.  However,  if  he  is  young- 
er, I  should  expect  him  to  get  up. 
When  I  say  .old,  I  mean  past  70. 
L.L.B. 

When  an  old  man  gets  on  .the 
bus,  a  young  lady  should  give  him 
her  seat  and  if  an  old  lady  gets  on 
the  bus,  a  young  man  should  give 
her  the  seat.  A  young  lady  got  on 
the  bus  and  a  man  gave  her  a  seat 
and  she  fainted.  When  she  revived, 
she  thanked  the  man  and  he  faint- 
ed.    E.  L. 

9.  The  age  of  chivalry  is  past. 
Women  are  seeking  equal  rights  in 
some  areas,  so  why  shouldn't  they 
have  them  in  all  areas.  If  a  woman 
has  a  baby  in  her  arms,  a  man 
should  get  up  and  let  her  sit  down; 
if  she  has  packages  in  her  arms, 
he  should  offer  to  hold  the  pack- 
Likewise,  if  a  man  has  t 
baby    in     his    arms,    the     woman

Class   of   '52

Luck,  'easy  'money,  and  a  good 
time  were  the  notes  to  which  the 
younger  generation  of  the  "For- 
ties" danced.  Why  work  hard  to  be 
a  good  student  when  everyone 
knows  that  the  world's  prizes  goes 
to  the  popular  persons,  the  good 
mixer,  the  boy  with  natural  talents 
for  athletics,  the  girl  with  the  be- 
witching smile  and  clever  line? 

Why  work  when  all  the  world 
was  a  bed  of  roses  and  jobs  fairly 
aching  to  be  taken? 

Nowadays,  boys  and  girl3  seem 
to  take  life  with  a  reasonable  and 
questionable  outlook,  though  none 
of  the  facilities  for  having. a  good 
time  have  been  buried.  The  young 
man  of  1952  is  realizing  for  the 
first  time,  perhaps,  that  the  job  of 
today  is  not  obtained  through 
worthless  folly  nor  family  pull. 
And  the  young  lady  of  this  day  is 
aware  of  the  fact  that  her  job  is 
not  given  to  the  "Dumb  Dora"  or 
the  "Simple  Sue"  and  that  the 
wholehearted  girl  with  the  brains 
is  the  one  who  makes  the  grade. 
Today,  education  is  a  necessity  to 
travel  through  the  lanes  of  life;  to 
understand  one's  neighbor,  what  he 
thinks,  what  he  feels  and  what  he 
does;  to  understand  one's  self! 

The  year  1952  finds  it  common 
sense  to  make  good  on  the  chance 
to  learn.

eratis  convention.  Rayburn  described  it  as  an  arduous  and  „,, 
have  kept  ourselves  as  close  to  the  radio  as  possible  between  cla; 
and  meal  time,  and  interrupted  our  studies  even  more  times  to  catch 
the  meaning  of  actions  taking  place.  We  lost  sleep,  too,  trying  to  stay 
awake  until  the  convention  adjourned  each  night.  Conseqeuently  we 
welcomed  —  as  we  are  sure  the  delegates  welcomed  —  the  end  of 
the  convention. 

Because  most  of  yours  truly's  lifetime  has  been  spent  under  a 
democratic  administration,  we  listened  most  ardently  to  the  convention. 
We  heard  men  seasoned  in  -parliamentary  procedures  and  political 
maneuvering  control  a  group  of  Americans  strikingly  different  in 
!S,  some  deeply  endowed  with  sectional  pride,  vested  interest 
group  who  at  times  was  bitter  and  disagreeable 
ide  sectionalism  a  reality;  threats 
;  liberal  expressions  of  the  rights 
,  :reed  or  color;  plain  stubborness; 
political  coercion;  shrewd  political  movement;  agreement;  defeated 
candidates  conceding  to  the  candidate  in  lead  and  pledging  their  sup- 
port unquestionably;  compromising;  demanding  polling  of  delegates; 
then  nominating  the  candidates  for  President  and  vice-President.  All 
of  these  things  happened  at  the  Democratic  Convention  {as  well  as 
other  things)  because  these  were  democrats  in  America  firmly  be- 
lieving that  all  Americans  have  a  right  to  speak  and  knowing  quite 
well  that  as   Americans   they  could   speak. 

The  Stevenson  —  Sparkman  ticket  transcends  all  sectional  lines 
and  we  hope  that  minor  liberal  expressions  of  Sparkman  will  expand 
to  major  ones.  All  of  this  has  been  done  —  now  its  "Your  Move" 

Can  you  move?  Your  move  depends  upon  whether  or  not  you  are 
a  registered  voter.  If  not  you  are  endangering  your  own  progress. 
We  must  learn  to  use  the  ballot  to  enhance  the  rapidity  of  all  the 
constitutional  rights  granted  to  all  Americans.  Your  first  move  should 
be  to  check  yourself  and  see  if  you  are  registered  then  proceed  to 
help  others.  When  November  comes  be  sure  your  vote  is  cast  as  well 
as  any  others  you  can  influence.  THE  NEXT  MOVE  IS  YOURS.

Enrollees  Grouped  Accordng 
to  Interest 

The  66  members  of  the  workshop 
are  divided  into  groups  according 
to  interest  or  problems.  Groups 
organized  are:  Language  Arts, 
Arithmetic,  Physical  Education 
and  Health,  Social  Studies,  and 
Science.  Officers  were  also  elected 
for  each  of  these  groups. 

The  members  of  the  group  spon- 
sored a  chapel  program  during  the 
regular  weekly  chapel  hour, 
Wednesday,  July  23.  The  program 
consisted  of  a  classroom  demon- 
stration on  teaching  mathematics 
in  a  practical  manner.

shall  never  hear  again,  footsteps 
belonging  to  students  who  have 
worn  thin  my  halls,  marred  my 
buildings  with,  "Say  what?  Don't 
leave  me.  Take  me  with  you  when 
you  go.  I'll  be  so  lonesome  when 
you'i-e  gone."  And  "Whoa — back 
up  and  try  it  a-a-a-a-gain,"  and 
the  history  of  their  love  affairs. 
For  years  these  students  have  been 
warmed  by  my  heat,  fed  in  my 
dining  hall,  and  housed  in  my  dor- 
mitories. They  have  annoyed  jny 
instructors  and  wasted  paper  and 
time  foolishly.  But  now  they  are 
joining  a  great  mass  of  men  and 
women  who  have  made  the  world 
what  it   is  today. 

Although  you  may  think  this  is 
joyous  occasion  for  me  it  is  not. 
Tears  are  blinding  my  eyes  as  I 
hear  the  last  student  take  a  last 
look  inside  me, and  run  to  join  his 
classmates.  His  steps  become  more 
faint  and  now  they  are  fading 
away.  My  mind  is  blotted  by  mem- 
ories of  the  oustanding  students 
who  add  another  trophy  to  my  pos- 
sessions. Bringing  fame  and  glory 
to  me  and  to  them,  they  have  added 
another  extra  glow  of  pride  to  my 
eyes.  Many  students  will  carry  the 
spirit  of  Savannah  State  wherever 
they  go;  they  will  help  to  carry 
on  the  glory,  democracy,  and  lead- 
ership  in   a   democratic   school. 

Yes,  I  have  a  right  to  be  proud 
and  a  right  to  be  sad.  I  glance 
around  in  my  empty  halls,  in  the 
classrooms,  in  the  auditorium  and 
I  am  reminded  of  future  stars.  The 
shops,  the  art  and  music  rooms,  the 
lab,  the  library,  and  the  gym,  bring 
a  touch  of  pride  to  me  and  a  tear 
to  my  eye.  I  am  too  blinded  with 
tears  to   write,  so   I  remain.

Give  Us  A  Thought 

By  GERTRUDE  D.  THOMAS 

The  Class  of  1952  leaves  behind 
a  past  full  of  memories  of  a  place 
we  will  never  forget.  It  is  hard  to 
ealize  we  have  to  leave  dear  old 
Savannah  State,  for  so  much  of 
our  lives  have  been  spent  here 
learning,   laughing,  and  loving. 

Now  we  are  leaving  but  its  only 
in  form,  and  not  in  thought.  At 
institutions  of  higher  learning, 
your  bewildered  alumnui  will  stop 
in  the  midst  of  scurrying  thou- 
sands and  say,  "Gee,  but  this  is  a 
lot  different  from  S.  S.  C..  Gee,  1 
miss  the  dear  old  place!  Do  you 
suppose  they  ever  miss  us?"  When 
summer  school  opens  next  June, 
won't  you  think  a  little  about  us? 
We  are  sure  going  to  be  thinking 
about  you. 


A    CHILDHOOD    NOTE 

How  many  times  I  read  your  mail, 
And  wondered  how,  and  why, 
And   how  you   sat   and  held    your 

pen, 
To  write  me  as  a  friend. 

Although  I  know  you  know  just 
how,  just  , 

Why,  and  when  to  write, 

And  how  to  spell  each  word  cor- 
rect 

And  place  the  periods  right. 

I  wish   I  could   I   know  I  would 
If  only  a  chance   I'd   try  have 
You   enrolled   I   would   hold 
And    enfold    you   in  my    book    of 
friends.

IF  I  HAD  MY  WAY 

By  Miss  Sarah  E.  Butler 
If  I  had  my  way  I'd  change  time 
Around. 
The  hours  I'd  arrange  in  this 
light: 
From  morn  til'  noon  would  be  the 
time  for  day; 
From  noon  til'  morn  would  be 
night. 
It's  more  sleep  we  want,  and  more 
time  we  need 
In  this  atomic  age  of  men; 
More  time  to  think,  for  its  thought 
that  helps 
To  keep  the  world  in  trim. 
I  see  it  this  way  I  must  confess 
The  night  seems  shorter  than 
day. 
So  if  I  had  my  way  day  would  be 
night, 
And  night  would  be  day,  if  I  had 
my  way.

THE  TIGER'S    ROAR 


Chatham  County 
Superintendent 
Addresses  Wednesday 
Assembly 

Stresses  Practicality 

in  the  Classroom 

(•William  A.  Early,  newly 
pointed  Superintendent  of  Schools 
in  Chatham  County  was  the  guest 
speaker  at  the  regular  weekly 
chapel  hour  in  Meldrim  Audito- 
rium, Wednesdny,  July  1G,  at  10:00 
a.  m. 

Speaking  from  the  theme 
"Things  I  Think  Are  Important 
Other  Than  Things  You  Get  At 
This  Institution,"  Mi-.  Early  de- 
clared that  all  eyes  are  turned 
toward  Washington  for  political 
leadership,  toward  New  York  for 
financial  leadership,  and  toward 
America  as  a  whole  for  democrcay 
in  action. 

"We  in  America  have  been  for- 
tunate in  being  exposed  to  de- 
mocracy," he  said.  "The  only  rea- 
son it  hasn't  worked  any  better  for 
us  is  because  we  subscribe  to 
cliques  and  machines.  We  in  the 
classrooms  are  the  worst  defenders 
of  democracy.  We  preach  democ- 
racy and  practice  autocracy." 

He  said  that  one  must  be  humble 
to  be  a  good  teacher,  that  pride 
never  made  a  good  teacher.  The 
public  schools  have  shut  their  doors 
to  the  people  who  own  them,  he 
stated.  Teachers  have  developed  a 
superior  air.  "Show  me,"  he  de- 
clared, "a  superior-acting  person 
and  I  will  show  you  one  who  is 
close  to   being   an   imbecile." 

Furthermore,  he  declared,  the 
people  own  the  public  schools  and 
any  day  they  withdraw  their  chil- 
dren the  doors  will  have  to  be 
closed. 

Turning  to  the  area  of  teacher- 
pupil-parent  relationships  he  as- 
serted that  teachers  need  to  know 
the  backgrounds  of  their  students 
as  well  as  the  parents  of  each  stu- 
dent.' 'I  am  a  believer  in  50  teachers 
to  a  classroom  which  means  that 
parents  and  teachers  work  so 
closely  together  that  they  under- 
stand each  other  ...  It  takes  16 
hours  a  day  in  this  country  to  make 
a  teacher,  he  declared.  Teachers 
should  be  members  of  various  civic 
organizations  in  their  communities 
because  that's  where  the  gossip 
goes  on,  and  that's  where  the 
schools  are  evaluated. 

Why  don't  people  in  America 
support  schools  any  better  than 
they  do?  It's  your  fault  and  mine. 
They  don't  know  what  we  are  do- 
ing." 

In  conclusion,  Mr.  Early  chal- 
lenged th"e  group  to  make  their 
teaching  functional  by  teaching 
things  that  can  be  used  by  stu- 
dents. 


Teachers  Return 
For  Educational 

Development 

More  Teachers  Studying 
During  Summer  Months 

The  presence  of  many  in-service 

and  prospective  teachers  on  the  Sa- 
vannah State  College  Campus  this 
summer  indicates  that  they  are  be- 
coming increasingly  aware  of  the 
fact  that  pupil  growth  is  synony- 
mous with  teacher  growth. 

After  all,  the  teacher  who  con- 
tinues to  grow  in  professional  un- 
derstanding and  .in  his  vision  of  ed- 
ucation and  of  life  will  be  a  better 
leader  of  youth  than  the  teacher 
who  fails  to   grow. 

As  we  view  this  aggregation  ol 
teachers,  our  mind  leaps  beyond  .to 
consider  that  vast  multitude  in 
whose  service  the  teachers  are  en- 
listed. It  is  for  these  young  people 
that  society  has  created  the  schools, 
in  the  interest  of  its  own  preserva- 
tion and   improvement. 

Subsequently,  on  its  schools,  the, 
nation  has  been  placing  ever-in- 
creasing reliance.  It  is  only  as  we 
grasp  these  truths  that  the  full  sig- 
nificance of  teaching  and  teacher 
growth  becomes  manifest.  In  the 
light  of  these  truths  we  can  readily 
see  that  teachers  are  indispensable; 
that  their  quality  is  a  matter  of 
deep  concern. 

We  can  fully  realize  how  the  en- 
■e  future  of  our  great  common- 
wealth could  be  jeopardized  if  chil- 
dren and  youth  are  entrusted  to 
nd  women  who  are  not  intel- 
ligent, not  informed,  not  skillful, 
and  not  devoted  to  young  people 
and  to  their  calling. 

Therefore,  teachers  must  con- 
stantly engage  in  those  activities 
that  make  for  personal  and  profes- 
sional development.  In  this  way, 
only  can  they  become  teachers  who 
are  superbly  fitted  for  their  im- 
portant task;  who  know  how  to  co- 
operate with  others;  who  under- 
stand how  children  grow  and  de- 
velop; who  know  how  to  guide 
learning;  and  who  are  continually 
increasing  their  stature  as  persons, 
citizens,  and  professional  workers. 
Let  it  be  remembered  that  the 
role  of  the  teacher  will  continue 
to  be  that  of  a  guide,  leading  those 
whom  he  teaches  toward  the  ob- 
jective of  education  in  a  demo- 
cracy.

Reasonable 


division  of  Home  Economics  and  Trades  and 
Industries  Conduct  Joint  Home  and 
Community  Beautification  Workshop 

_  The  Divisions  of  Home  Economics  and  Trades  and  Industries 
joined  forces  in  organizing  and  making  available  to  the  elementary  and 
secondary  teachers  in  the  State  of  Georgia,  a  Home  and  Community 
Eeautifications  Workshop,  during  the  first  summer  session. 

The  course  was  designed  to  en- 
able the  teacher  to  become  mori 
effective  in  helping  citizens  ir 
their  communities  determine  ways 
and  means  of  solving  community 
problems  in  home  beautification, 
as  well  as  aiding  citizens  in  devel- 
oping appreciation  for  civic  and  so- 
cial benefits  in  a  well-ordered  com- 
munity. 

A  lively  interest  was  developed 
by  initially  ascertaining  the  prob- 
lems each  class  member  encount- 
ered in  his  respective  community. 
These  general  problems  were 
broken  down  into  types  of  learning- 
experiences  which  could  be  offered 
and  covered  in  at  least  one  or  two- 
week  periods.  The  objective  was  to 
make  each  student  independent  for 
further  endeavor. 

Areas  of  group  concentration 
were  as  follows:  (1)  furniture  re- 
pair and  upkeep;  (2)  Interior  fur- 
nishing makers;  (3)  Wall  and  floor 
treatment;  (4)  Reviving  loom-craft 
as  a  lucrative  art;  (5)  Exterior 
house-planning  and  landscaping; 
and  (6)  Neighborhood  planning  for 
the  family. 

practical  expression  of  inte- 
rior decoration  was  carried  out 
through  the  furnishing  of  a  five- 
room  demonstration  cottage  built 
by  trade  classes  in  the  Division  of 
Trades  and  Industries.  Through 
the  courtesy  of  the  Haverty  Furni- 
ture Company  of  Savannah,  mod- 
ern furniture  was  selected  and  used 
for  demonstration  purposes.  All 
drapery  used  in  the  cottage  was  de- 
signed and  constructed  by  the 
classes  in  drapery. 

Open  House  Held 

A  shared  educational  experience 
in  the  enjoyment  of  goals  achieved 
in  the  workshop,  was  the  All-Cam- 
pus Open  House  which  was  held 
during  the  last  week  of  the  ses- 
sion on  Herty  Hall  lawn.  Loom- 
craft  articles  in  the  form  of  stoles, 
purses,  drapery  material,  wood- 
craft, sewing  stands  .silent  valets, 
what-not  racks,  condiment  boxes, 
children's  furniture,  re-upholstered 
furniture,  and  slip-covered  furni- 
ture, were  displayed.  Over  700 
awed  guests  were  served  delicious 
refreshments  of  sandwiches,  cake 
and  punch. 

Many  Consultants  Used 

A  number  of  off-campus  consul- 
tants, as  well  as  Savannah  State 
faculty  and  staff  members,  were 
called  in  to  discuss  various  prob- 
lems pertaining  to  the  purpose  of 
the  workshop.  Visiting  consultants 
were:  Mrs.  Irma  Williams,  slip- 
cover and  drapery  specialist  of  Sa- 
vannah; Mrs,  Stella  G.  Minkk,  fab- 
ric designer  And  weaving  specialist 
whose  studios  are  located  at  6  East 
Liberty  Street,  Savannah;  Dr. 
Maude  Pye  Hood,  housing  specialist 
and  acting  head  of  the  School  of 
Home  Economics  at  the  University 


u  Mason  Addresses 
Summer  Students 
in  Chapel  Program 

By  JOHN  A.  ALDRIDGE 

Dr.  W.  A.  Mason,  State  Director 
of  Health  Education  for  Negroes, 
spoke  to  the  in-service  teachers 
and  students  during  the  regular 
chapel  services  on  July  9,  1952  in 
Meldrim  Auditorium, 

He  was  introduced  by  President 
W.  K.  Payne  of  Savannah  State 
College  and  spoke  on  the  subject 
with  which  he  deals  daily — Health, 
pointing  out  that  because  of  dis- 
coveries in  medicine,  communicable 
disease  has  been  lessened. 

Life  expectancy  is  longer,"  he 
said.  "However,  Negro  life  expec- 
aney  is  still  less  than  that  of 
whites."  Mental  disease  is  becoip- 
ing  a  greater  problem,  conse- 
quently the  number  one  problem  is 
Health." 

Dr.  Mason  who  works  closely 
with  the  health  programs  in  Negro 
schools  in  Georgia,  challenged  the 
audience  from  the  topic  "Watch- 
man (teachers)  What  of  the 
night?"  He  emphasized  the  im- 
portance of  the  school's  health 
classes  being  centered  around 
health  habits  that  are  common  to 
the   children. 

"After  the  night  comes  the  dawn, 
but  how  soon  that  dawn  comes 
depends  upon  you,"  Dr.  Mason  ad- 
monished the  audience. 

Speaking  of  mental  and  emo- 
tional health,  Dr.  Mason  pointed 
out  that  Negroes  have  suffered 
more  from  emotional  health  than 
any  other  group.  Nevertheless, 
the  Negro  racial  group  has  made 
surprisingly  good  adjustments,  he 
continued. 

Dr.  Mason  believes  that  the 
problem*  of  health  is  still  a  grave 
one  and  proper  attention  must  be 
given  it  in  school  work.  Conse- 
quently, the  eminent  health  edu- 
cator concluded  his  stimulating 
address  with  this  thought:  "It  is 
better  to  light  a  candle  in  the  dark- 
ness than  to  curse  the  darkness."

-^Summer  Theatre 


Presents  Play 

By  LIZETTAE  FOOTMAN 

The  Savannah  State  College 
Summer  Theater  Group,  under  the 
direction  of  John  B.  Clemmons,  As- 
sistant Professor  of  Mathematics, 
presented  a  three-act  comedy  en- 
titled "He  Couldn't  Marry  Five"  in 
Meldrim  Audtorium,  Friday,  July 
18.    Curtain  time  was  8:00  p.  m. 

The  title  more  than  lived  up  to 
its  name.  It  was  at  times  laugh- 
able and  charming,  crazy  and  en- 
joyable with  clever  dialogue,  fast 
,ction  and  true-to-life  characteri- 
zations.

SUMMER  THEATRE  ™Si^T^  jjj^  ^J 

During  First  Session 


(Continued  from  page  five) 

The  play  was  a  typical  Ameri- 
can family  story  in  which  there 
were  five  daughters.  All  of  the 
daughters  attempted  to  marry  the 
same  young  man.  An  old  maid 
(Aunt  Etta)  added  to  the  complica- 
tions by  not  wanting  the  girls  to 
marry  and  by  finding  that  she  too 
was  in  love  with  the  young  man. 
Granny,  the  family  sage,  finally 
solved  the  complex  problem  with 
her  even  temper  and  experience,  by 
lecturing  to  the  girls  against  "run- 
ning after  a  man." 

The  play  was  the  first  presented 
by  the  1952  Summer  Theater 
Group.  John  Watkins,  a  junior 
from  Greenville,  S.  C,  played  the 
lead  role,  and  Miss  Jolene  Belin,  a 
senior  from  Bainbridge,  Georgia, 
and  Miss  Jewell  Grant  af  Savan- 
nah, regularly  enrolled  at  Howard 
University,  Washington,  D.  C, 
co-starred  in  the  lead  female  roles. 
Other  members  of  the  cast  were 
Miss  Beverly  Ann  Brown;  Thun- 
derbolt; Mrs.  Gloria  S.  Baker,  Sa- 
vannah; James  Gibbons,  Rome; 
Miss  Geneva  0.  Bray,  Savannah; 
Miss  Myrtice  James,  Thunderbolt; 
Mrs.  Evelyn  Wright,  Thunderbolt; 
and  Miss  Llzettae  Footman,  Quit- 
man. 

Miss  Eulon  Marie  Bass,  Madison, 
Georgia,  regularly  enrolled  at 
Spelman  College,  Atlanta,  was  in 
charge  of  the  stage  lighting,  and 
Miss  Marie  Dansby,  a  senior  ma- 
joring in  English  from  Atlanta,  in- 
troduced the  play. 


IN  MEMORIUM 

At  times  I  find  my  soul  at  lowest 
tone 

Tis  then  I  sit  and  grieve  my  lost 
father 

Whose  tasks  sent  him  in  any  kind 
of  weather, 

To  help  a  fallen  soul  who  felt  alone 

To  strive  again.    Your  load  cannot 
be  bourne 

By  any  other;  but  men  must  work 
together 

For  God  commands  to  love  ye  one 
another; 

Tb  meet,  to  live,  forever  near  His 
throne. 

No  guide  to   steed  my/course  for 
better  life  / 

I  gain  my  strength  from  His  ideals 
of  grace, 

And  keep  my  soul  steadfast  in  love 
divine. 

I  cannot  keep  the  pace  of  commer- 
cial strife 

And  see  in  peace  my  Master's  smil- 
ing face, 

And  hear  His  welcome  voice,  O 
child  of  mine.

The  Anonymous  Letter 

A    Short   Story 

By  Emma  C.   Bryant 

English  412,  Creative  Writing  Jnily 

21,    1952.     Mrs.    E.    J.    Campbell. 

Instructor 

I  gave  a  sigh  of  relief  when  the 
train  pulled  out  from  the  station.  I 
was  not  happy  but  I  had  succeeded 
in  leaving  without  encountering 
anyone  that  would  be  curious  about 
by  actions.  This  was  an  all  night 
trip  on  a  slow  train  so  I  leaned 
back  in  my  seat  and  gradually 
became  lost  with  the  past. 

It  was  1904  when  Jay  said, 
"Remember  your  promise,  wait  for 
me."  Then  he  leaped  from  the  plat- 
form of  the  train.  I  made  no  re- 
sponse. Only  a  smile  and  tear 
dimmed  eyes  expressed  my  feel- 
ings. 

Jay  and  I  had  been  lovers  around 
the  campus  where  we  both  at- 
tended school  in  Macon,  Georgia.  I 
was  on  my  home  to  Hawkinsville,  a 
a  small  town  in  Middle  Cjorgla. 
Jay  had  secured  a  job  and  was  le- 
maining  in  Macon  to  work  uui:ng 
the  summer.  He  had  to  earn  some 
money  to  be  able  to  return  to 
'school  in  the  fall. 

During  the  summer  we  wrote  to 
each  other  regularly.  When  school 
opened  I  went  back  to  Macon  but 
Jay  went  to  a  college  in  Florida. 
The  happy  memory  of  letters  {id 
my  studies  kept  up  my  spirits 
from   year  to   year. 

Jay  finally  entered  Meharry 
Medical  College  after  graduation 
from  high  school  by  talcing  an 
entrance  examination.  These  were 
hard  years  for  finance  but  Jey 
was  determined  to  become  a  doctor 
and  fate  was  on  his  side.  There 
were  no  "mushy"  love  letters  now 
but  just  an  occasional  letter  or 
card  to  remind  me  of  my  promise 
and  to  tell  me  of  his  work. 

After  four  years  of  coitsiucd 
study  Jay  graduated  from  Mehaiiy 
Medical  College.  He  went  to  At- 
lanta and  took  the  state  nvdbal 
examination.  He  left  there  and 
went  to  Tallahassee  to  take  ihe 
state  medical  examination.  He  then 
went  to  Adel,  Georgia  to  wait  for 
a  report  from  the  examination. 
When  the  report  came  he  had 
passed  both  examinations  and  had 
license  to  practice  in  Georgia  and 


Florida. 

Now  Jay  felt  sure  that  after  a 
year  of  practice  we  woull  be 
married.  Letters  were  frequent 
now,  but  it  was  really  a  year  be- 
fore I  saw  him.  He  oame  to  visit  me 
and  meet  my  parents.  Aft-Jr  a 
day's  visit  he  left  with  my  parents 
consent  for  us  to  be  married. 

I  was  teaching  in  the  ?ity  school 
at  my  home  but  I  did  not  apply  for 
re-election  because  of  our  plans  for 
the   future. 

My  mother  began  to  ma«e  plans 
for  a  church  wedding.  School 
opened  but  I  was  free  to  relp 
with  my  own  plans.  However  fate 
'intervened  ond  .1  went  to  the 
county  to  substitue  for  a  teacher 
who  was  ill. 

The  school  building  was  on  the 
highway  and  the  "mail  man"  as 
he  was  called  passed  daily.  Each 
day  I  received  a  letter  or  a  card 
from  Jay.  Finally  "the  letter"  as 
I  mentally  termed  this  usmal  lp'ter 
came.  For  a  few  minutes  I  buried'- 
my  head  in  my  arms  on  the  desk. 
I  was  not  crying  but  I  had  to  Han 
quickly  and  act  likewise. 

My  plans  were  set.  I  dismissed 
school  immediately  and  told  the 
children  that  I  had  to  go  home.  I 
walked  toward  by  boarding  place 
and  asked  the  nearest  patron  to 
let  his  boy  drive  me  to  town.  In 
a  few  minutes  I  had  changed  my 
suit,  picked  up  a  hat  and  a  bag, 
and  I  was  on  my  way  with  only  a 
few   dimes  over  my  fare. 

Upon  reaching  town  I  went  first 
to  a  telephone  booth  and  called 
Jay.  In  a  few  seconds  the  ope- 
rator said  that  he  was  out  but  was 
expected  within  an  hour.  I  railed 
the  station  and  checked  the  trcin 
schedule.  I  found  the  train  was  due 
to  leave  in  thirty  minntes.  I  came 
out  of  the  booth  walked  out  of  the 
store  face   to  face  with   an   uncle. 

I  said,  "I'm  lucky  to  see  you.  I 
need   ten   dollars." 

Without  question  he  handed  me 
a   ten   dollar   bill.    I   thanked   him. 

When  my  uncle  was  out  of  sight 
I  walked  over  to  the  boy  who  had 
brought  me  to  town  and  told  him 
that  I  had  to  go  home. 

I  was  interrupted  when  the 
porter  said:    "Change   trains   lady,

THE   TIGER'S   BOAR 


Page  7 


June  Graduates  Hear  Bishop  B.  W.  Doyle  Speak  on 
"Forty  Acres  and  A  Mule" 


One  hundred  and  twenty-five 
graduates  and  their  friends  and. 
relatives  heard  Bishop  Bertram 
Wilbur  Doyle,  A.B.,  M.A.,  Ph.D., 
D.D.,  presiding  bishop,  Seventh 
Episcopal  District,  C.M.E.  Church, 
Nashville,  Tennessee,  deliver  the 
$7th  commencement  address, 
Wednesday,  June  4. 

Speaking  in  Meldrim  Auditorium 
at  4:00  p.  ni.,  Bishop  Doyle  chose 
as  his  theme,  "Forty  Acres  and  a 
Mule,"  and  as  his  sub-topic,  "An 
Essay  in  Social  Causation  and  So- 
cial Therapy.' 

Bishop  Doyle  pointed  out  that 
one  of  the  things  which  had  con- 
cerned him  for  many  years  was  the 
disillusionment  that  comes  to  so- 
cial groups  when,  after  placing 
their  hopes  for  salvation  in  a  pan- 
acea that  has  been  recommended, 
they  either  attain  the  salvation, 
and  find  it  not  what  they  either 
hoped  or  wished;  or  they  do  not 
attain  it  at  all,  and  find  them- 
selves not  only  disillusioned,  but 
also  frustrated.     Such,  he  said,  was 

(the  case  when  following  the  Eman- 
cipation Proclamation,  freedmen 
were  promised  "forty  acres  and  a 
mule,"  as  the  one  solution  to  all  of 
their  problems. 

Bishop  Doyle  was  introduced  by 
Dr.  W.  K.  Payne,  president  of  Sa- 
vannah State.  Dr.  Payne  awarded 
the  certificates  and  conferred  the 
degrees.  Invocation  was  by  the 
Rev.  Edgar  P.  Quarterman,  pastor, 
Second  Baptist  Church,  Savannah. 
~The  Rev.  A.  J.  Hargrett,  college 
minister,  delivered  the  benediction. 
The  Savannah  State  choir,  under 
the  direction  of  L.  Allen  Pyke, 
sang  "Ave  Maria"  by  Verdi;  "How 
Do  I  Love  Thee"  by  Wilson;  and 
"Hallelujah,   Amen,"  by  Handel. 

Bringing  his  address  to  a  close, 
Bishop  Doyle  asked  the  class  to 
stand.  "This,"  he  said,  "is  my 
charge  to  you.  No  one  thing  ac- 
complished in  the  environment  can 
effect  adjustment  for  a  given  hu- 
man being,  or  for  a  given  human 
group,  unless  it  be  articulated, 
even  fortified  by  a  change  in  at- 
titude. And  the  change  in  atti- 
tude must  come  from  within.  Our 
progress  must  not  be  based  upon 
any  particularistic  fallacy,  but 
upon  a  conception  that  many  fac- 
tors enter  into  human  develop' 
ment,  not  the  least  of  which  is  ca- 
pacity and  ability.  Forty  acres  of 
the  best  land,  and  a  genuine  Mis> 
souri  mule  will  not  accomplish 
much  for  a  man  who  is  unwilling, 
or  undecided,  or  unable  to  plow  his 
land.  And  then  again,  forty 
acres  of  the  poorest  land,  with  a 
scrubby  mule  cannot  be  made  to 
produce  as  much  as  more  favor- 
ably located  land  with  a  better 
mule,  no  matter  how  efficient  the 
ploughman  is.  It  just  means  that 
no  one  thing  will  solve  the  problem. 
My  closing  advice  to  you,  then  is 
that  while  in  the  political  process 
are  developing  those  conditions  for 
which  you  hope  and  strive,  you 
must  neither  wait  for  the  millen- 
ium,  nor  must  you  conceive  that 
when,  and  if,  that  millenium  comes, 
it  will  bring  you  complete  surcease 
from  your  personal  disabilities  .  .  - 
Whatever  you  do  must  be  salted 
with  a  generous  helping  of  char- 
acter. Character  is  something  to 
add  to  environment  .  .  .  Forty 
acres  and  a  mule  are  not  enough 
but,  if  there  is  any  one  thing  with 
out  which  you  will  be  at  a  loss,  it 
will  he  character,

Since  1949  Dr.  Griffith  has  don< 
research  work  for  the  American 
Academy  of  Allergy,  trying  to  find 
causes  of  respiratory  ailments  such 
as  hay  fever,  asthma,  and  sinus 
trouble.  The  opinion  of  the  aller- 
gist is  that  different  kinds  of 
fungi  found  In  the  air  we  breathe 
is  responsible  for  these  ailments. 
The  American  Academy  of  Allergy 
wanted  an  analytical  study  made 
of  the  air  in  the  Savannah  area. 
Dr.  Griffith,  due  to  his  scholarly

Eggs,"  in  the  July  issue  of  the 
Journal  of  Allergy.  Already,  he  has 
had  requests  from  some  of  the 
outstanding  schools  of  medicine  in 
the  United  States,  as  well  as  from

"During  the  term  1951-1952  the 
library  enjoyed  its  greatest  period 
f  growth  as  attested  by  the  ac- 
creditation of  the  Southern  Asso- 
ciation," said  Miss  Luella  Hawk- 
ins, Head  Librarian  of  Savannah 
State  College,  as  she  closed  out 
her  library  report  for  the  year, 
Saturday,  July  19. 

"Such  improvements  as  the  new 
office  and  workroom  are  most  at- 
tractive," Miss  Hawkins  said,  Rem- 
ington Rand  new  trend  furniture 
furnishes  one  half  the  library  with 
ten  reading  tables  and  sixty  chairs. 
Wall  shelves  for  magazines,  news- 
papers, and  reference  books  have 
been  added. 

In  addition  to  standard  reading 
materials,  micro-films  files  of  the 
New  York  Times,  London  Times, 
and  Savannah  Morning  News  are 
vallable  for  patrons. 
The  total  number  of  books  in  the 
library  including  bound  volumes  of 
periodicals  is  18,678.  "This  brings 
the  library  to  meet  the  mini- 
mum standard  of  the  Southern  As- 
sociation," said  Miss  Hawkins. 
The  library  also  receives  198  cur- 
rent periodicals  and  eighteen  news- 
apers." 
Miss  Hawkins  reports  that  al- 
though enrollment  decreased 
lightly  during1  the  last  3  years,  the 
total  circulation  of  books  this  year 
was  greater  than  for  either  of  the 
two  previous  years.  The  number 
used  by  faculty  members,  1136  and 
the  number  used  by  students  was 
an  average  of  44  per  student.  To- 
tal circulation  of  hooks  was  44,668. 
Of  this  number  reserved  books  ac- 
counted for  30,977,  and  7  day  books 
13,691. 

Periodicals  most  often  read  by 
faculty  members  are  those  of  edu- 
cational value  and  Negro  publica- 
tions. Students  prefer  the  "popu- 
lar picture  types,"  Miss  Hawkins 
explained. 

Newspapers  are  read  exten- 
sively, especially  the  locals.  Verti- 
cal file  service  is  available.  The 
file  includes  up-to-date  clippings 
and  materials  on  most  school  sub- 
jects. 

Assistants  to  Miss  Hawkins  are 
Miss  Madeline  Harrison,  and  Miss 
Althea  Williams.  All  three  librar- 
ians hold  at  least  the  Bachelor  of 
Science  degree  in  library  science. 
There  is  also  a  full-time  secretary 
and  four  staident  assistants. 

"The  addition  of  a  full  time  sec- 
retary to  the  library  gives  the  li- 
brarians more  time  to  work  with 
students,"  stated  Miss  Hawkins.

your  train  is  waiting."  He"  helped 
me  to  the  train.  I  thanked  him. 

Only  thirty  minutes  now.  My 
vanity  came  to  my  rescue  and  I 
spent  the  entire  time  "primping 
Up." 

When  I  stepped  off  the  train, 
I  had  no  difficulty  in  finding  the 
Doctor's  office. 

I  walked  into  the  office  and  a 
young  man  came  forward  and 
spoke: 

"Looking  for   the   Doctor?" 


"Yes." 

"Where  are  you  from?" 

"Nashville,"  I  lied. 

"Is  the  Doctor  out  of  town?" 

"No  just  around  the  corner." 

"Busy?" 

"Don't  know.  I'll  get  him.  Have 
a  seat," 

My  nerves  were  failing  me.  I 
turned   my  back   toward   the  door. 

I  didn't  hear  Jay  come  in  but 
before  I  could  think  what  was  best 
to  say  first  I  was  gathered  into  his 
arms.  It  was  several  minutes  before 
we  spoke. 
.  "When  did  you  leave?"  he  asked. 

Last  night."  Why?" 
■    "I  was  expecting  you." 

"Expecting  me?" 

"Yes,"   and   again   I  was   in   his 

"Come  on  now,  sit  down,"  Jay 
said  tenderly. 

The  tears  that  I  had  kept  back 
all  night  now  came  freely.  Jay  let 
me  cry  it  out  on  his  shoulder.  Then 
he  took  a  damp  towel  and  wiped 
my  face. 

"I'm  sorry,"  Jay  said. 

"Sorry?" 

"Yes,  sorry.  You  see  I've  suf- 
fered more  than  you."

THE  TIGER'S   ROAR 


August,  1952 


President  William  K.  Payne 


THE  PRESIDENT  SPEAKS 
The  New  Schools  In  Georgia 

For  almost  two  decades  educators  in  the  State  of  Georgia  have  been 
working  on  a  program  for  the  Improvement  of  schools.  To  many 
teachers  this  concept  of  better  schools  meant  many  different  things. 
The  point  where  the  schools  are  today  reveals  an  intricate  and  inter- 
esting process.  As  these  improvements  have  taken  place  many  teachers 
and  laymen  have  thought  of  the  schools  in  their  old  frame  of  reference. 
However,  the  number  of  changes  taking  place  in  rapid  procession  are 
forcing  the  development  of  new  concepts. 
.  Three  particular  areas  of  change 
contributing  largely  to  the  develop 
ment  of  these  new  concepts  of 
education  are  salaries,  extended 
school  terms,  and  the  building  pro- 
gram. When  salaries  for  teachers 
were  raised  in  accordance  with  pro- 
visions of  the  Minimum  Founda- 
tion Program,  many  people  saw  the 
schools  in  a  new  light.  When  the 
school  term  was  lengthened  to  the 
standard  minimum  and  the  post- 
week  and  the  pre-planning  week 
were  added,  many  teachers  and 
laymen  did  not  understand  what 
was  happening.  They  often  con- 
sidered these  as  make-work  activi- 
ties to  justify  the  increased  pay. 
By  the  time  the  program  reached 
the  stage  of  constructing  new 
school  buildings,  the  points  of  view 
began  taking  on  new  significance 
and  meaning.  Probably  for  the  first 
time,  many  people  realized  that 
the  new  era  in  public  education  was 
well   on  its  way. 

As  one  considers  these  three 
items,  it  is  not  difficult  to  under- 
stand why  new  teachers  or  ex- 
perienced teachers  with  new  con- 
cepts of  their  responsibilities  are 
required  for  the  public  schools. 
Never  before  has  interest  on  a  wide 
scale  been  aroused  to  provide  stan- 
dards for  good  teachers.  The  gen- 
eral education  of  the  teacher,  the 
professional  preparation  of  the 
teachers,  and  the  quality  of  the  in. 
struction  are  intimately  tied  t( 
salary  schedules. 

The  type  of  teaching  and  learn- 
ing activities  carried  on  in  the  old 
buildings  cannot  be  transferred  to 
the  new  school  buildings.  The 
adequacy  of  the  old  routine  and 
procedures  transferred  from  the 
old  schools  to  the  new  schools 
would  appear  startling  and  unreal. 
The  fact  that  new  buildings  provide 
for  the  whole  child  mean  additional 
physical  facilities  which  would  re- 
quire a  large  group  of  additional 
learning  activities.  The  arrival  of 
the  building  program  has  served  to 
bring  about  understanding  of  the 
other  processes  which  have  been  in 
operation  for  several  years.  The 
developing  concept  of  the  new  edu- 
cation in  Georgia  is  now  in  its  in- 
fancy. The  fact  that  the  program 
has  now  reached  the  point  where  it 
may  be  readily  understood  and  seen 
should  help  teachers  and  future 
teachers  to  move  toward  better 
schools.  Better  education,  better 
citizens,  and  better  communities 
should  be  the  normal  results  of  the 
new  schools. 

The  colleges  like  the  other  levels 
of  the  public  school  system  will 
undergo      development     in     many

SOPRANO,  TO  BE  PRESENTED 
IN  CONCERT

pearance  as  soloist  with  the  Chi- 
cago Symphony  Orchestra.  She 
sang  music  of  Mozart  and  the  great 
Casta  Diva  aria  from  Bellini's 
"Norma."  In  the  concert  hal]  the 
soprano's  success  matched  her 
stage  achievements.  Critic  C.  J. 
Bulliet  reported  in  the  Chicago 
Daily  News:  "In  Paris  in  the  time 
of  the  Second  Empire,  the  students 
would  have  unhitched  the  horses 
from  her  carriage  and  themselves 
pulled  Camilla  Williams  through 
the  streets.  Last  night's  audience 
at  Orchestra  Hall  fell  little  short 
of  that  in  their  extravagant  greet- 
ing of  the  young  Negro  soprano  in 
her  Chicago  debut." 

Camilla  Williams  has  since  ap- 
peared from  coast  to  coast,  from 
the  Hollywood  Bowl  to  Carnegie 
Hall  where  in  the  spring  of  1950, 
as  soloist  with  the  New  York  Phil- 
harmonic-Symphony, she  sang  in 
the  Mahler  monumental  Eighth 
Symphony  under*  Stokowski.  In  the 
summer  of  1949  she  toured  Pan- 
,  the  Dominican  Republic  and 
Venezuela;  she  returned  in  the 
summer  of  1950  for  reengagements 
in  Maracaibo  and  Caracas,  Vene- 
zuela ami  in  Santiago  de  los  Ca- 
bnlleros,  in  the  Dominican  Repub- 
lic. Recently,  too,  she  was  one  of 
the  first  artists  to  tour  Alaska.  In 
the  spring  of  1951,  she  was  one  of 
the  leading  singers  in  the  first 
New  York  performance  of  "Ido- 
meneo,"  presented  by  the  Little  Or- 
chestra Society  during  its  April 
Festival  of  Mozart  Operas. 

Camilla  Williams'  first  record- 
ings were  for  RCA  Victor  and  in- 
cluded two  best-selling  Spirituals: 
"City  Called  Heaven"  and  "0, 
What  a  Beautiful  City."  Early  in 
1951  she  recorded  one  of  her  favo- 
rite roles,  Aida,  for  MGM  Records 
in  an  album  of  "Highlights  from 
Aida"  with  the  New  York  City 
Opera  Company,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Laszlo  Halasz.

THE  ANONYMOUS  LETTER 

(Continued  from   Page  7) 

"More   than   I?    Impossible!" 
"No-not    impossible." 

"Oh,  that  reminds  me  —  I  came 
to  bring  you  these  letters  and  here 
I   am  making   a  baby   of   myself." 

"I  wrote  you  this  letter.  The 
next  day  I  got  one  from  you,"  Jay 
said. 

"Go  on." 

"Then  I  knew  if  you  had  written 
this  letter  you  would  not  have 
written  again. 

"It  is  all  so  tangled.  Didn't  you 
trust  me?" 

"I  do  trust  you  and  love  you. 
How  could  I  know  where  the  letter 
came   from." 

"Why  did  you  say  you  were  ex- 
pecting me  when  I  came?" 

"That's  easy  to  answer.  I  was 
out,  and  when  Joe  answered  the 
telephone  the  operator  told  him 
Eastman,  calling  Dr.  Jay.  Does 
that  satisfy  you?" 

"Yes." 

"Any   more   questions?" 

"Yes,  let's  compare  these  letters. 

"Okay." 

"Let  me  read  this  first: 
Dear   Dr.   Jay, 

This  is  just  to  tell  you  that  I 
cannot  marry  you  now  nor  can  I 
ever  marry  you.  You  know  my 
father  has  never  wanted  me  to 
marry  you. 

You  need  not  answer  this  letter 
for  I  am  going  away  to  forget  it 
all.  I  will  not  be  here  if  you  an- 
swer. I  am  glad  I  found  out  that 
I  did  not  love  you  before  it  was  too 
late. 

Respectfully, 
Emma"  ' 
"Now  listen  to  your  letter:" 
Dear  Miss  Emma, 

Although  you  asked  me  not  to 
write  you  again,  I  am  compelled  to 
do   so   and    take   a   risk    that   you 

■ght  get  it  before  you  leave.  Why 
didn't  you  write  the  letter?  Why 
did  you  have  some  one  else  to  write 
it  for  you? 

I    must    admit    that    though    it 

all   too  much  for   me  and   that 

I    am    both    hurt    and    humiliated; 

was    honorable  of  you    not  to 

marry  one  man  when  another  man 
had  your  love. 

I'll  not  trouble  yau  by  writing 
again. 

Best  of  Luck, 
Jay"  '

"I  can  too.  An  anonymous  let- 
ter." 

"I  understood  when  I  received 
your  regular   letter." 

"If  I  had  talked  to  you  over  the 
telephone  what  would  you  have 
done?" 

"Guess  I  would  have  made  the 
trip  to  get  you." 

"Meaning — " 

"No,  not  that  you  came  to  get 
me.  We  had  to  talk  it  over,  dear." 

"My    enemy     or    your     lover?" 
"Wish   I  knew." 

"The  letter  was  mailed  on  the 
train." 

Yes — tell  you  what." 

"What?" 

"We'll  get  married  tomorrow 
night." 

"Why  tomorrow  night?" 

"I'm  not  taking  any  more  chan- 
ces of  losing  you."

We'll  send  your  dad  a  tele-

"A    telegram?"

I  want  your  dad  to  know  my  wife." 

"What  kind  of  marriage  will  this

"I  see." 

"Then   you   agree." 

"When  I  left  Eastman  I  thought 
I   knew  what  was  right." 

"What   do    you   mean?" 

"Just  thjs,  I'm  heire.  Got  a 
letter  that  didn't  make  sense  and 
rushed  here." 

"So    what?" 

"What  shall  I  tell  my  friends?" 

"That   you   are   married   that   is 

all.  We  tried  to  let  them  share  it 

but    some     one    obpected    to    the 

whole  affair." 

"Will  you  ever  feel  differently, 
I   mean   about   my  coming   here?" 

"Yes,  I  feel  different  now  be- 
cause I've  just  learned  that  you 
are  not  only  sweet  but  very 
thoughtful  and  wise.  Tomorrow, 
then?" 

"No    tonight.    I'll    go    home    to-    ,

'Good!"  he  said,  looking  at  his

It  is  one  o'clock  and  you  haven't

Students'  Thinking  in  Class 
Studied  By  Chicago  Professor 


924  Enrolled 
Fall  Quarter 

The    fall    quarter   enrollment    is   924. 

according  to  Ben  Ingersoll,  Registrar, 
Mr.  Ingersoll  states  that  there  are  287 
male  day  students,  and  494  women 
day  students. 

There  are  39  male  students  enrolled 
as  special  trades  students.  Two  male 
and  seventeen  female  students  attend 
Saturday  classes.  Eighty-five  students 
attend  evening  classes.  49  of  whom  are 
men  and  36  women. 

The  total  enrollment:  377  men,  and 
547   women. 

According  to  Nelson  R.  Freeman, 
Veterans  Counsellor,  120  veterans  are 
enrolled.  Veteran  enrollment  is  at  a 
minimum  this  year  due  to  the  expira- 
tion of  the  G.  I.  Bill  for  World  War  II 
veterans,  staled  Mr.  Freeman. 

The  maximum  veteran  enrollment  at 
Savannah  State  was  555  in  1947,  the 
Veterans   Counsellor  added. 


Chicago.  (IP).— A  survey  of  wha 
students  actually  ibink  about  in  classes, 
conducted  by  Benjamin  S.  Bloom,  as- 
sociate professor  of  education  and  ex- 
aminer in  the  College  of  the  University 
of  Chicago,  reveals  wide  variations  in 
thinking  that  takes  place. 

The  survey  taken  of  students  in  five 
lecture  classes  and  in  thirty  discussion 
groups  showed  that  students  spent 
almost  two-thirds  of  their  time  thinking 
about  the  topic  discussed  or  being  lec- 
tured on.  The  remaining  third  of  the 
lime  their  thoughts  were  irrelevant  to 
the  elasswork. 

In  discussion  classes,  one-third  oj 
the  thinking  is  made  up  of  trying  to 
solve  problems  that  come  nut  in  the 
discussion.  About  a  quarter  oj  the  time 
is  spent  in  thinking  about  people,  in- 
cluding oneself  and  the  danger  oj  being 
called  on.  In  lectures,  students  spend 
forty  per  cent  of  the  time  merely  fol- 
lowing the  lecture,  a  different  hind  of 
thinking  from  the  problem  solving  in- 
volved  in    discussion    classes. 

Persons  suffering  from  anxiety,  ac- 
cording  to   tests,   tended   to  think  more 


the 


solve 


abo 


what 


going  on  in  olass. 

The  studies  were  made  possible  be- 
cause of  a  new  technique,  called  stimu- 
lated recull,  developed  at  the  university 
within  the  lust  two  years.  By  playing 
tape  recordings  of  classroom  events 
within  two  days  after  class,  students 
were  able  to  recall  95  per  cent  of  what 
went  on.  The  recordings  served  as  a 
stimulant  to  recalling  their  thoughts 
as  well. 

Tips  for  instructors  also  come  from 
the  study.  One  suggests  that  the  wise- 
crack or  the  telling  phrase  attracts  loo 
much  attention  itself,  distracts  the 
student  from  ihe  remainder  of  ihe 
lecture.  Five  minutes  after  such  a 
phrase,  students  would  vt ill  be  thinking 
about  it,  instead  of  what  Ihe  professor 
was  trying  to  say.  The  instructor  re- 
garded as  antagonistic  by  the  students, 
the  one  who  disciplines  the  class  into 
line,  gets  more  attention  from  ihe 
students  than  do  the  ideas  he  presents. 
They  spend  more  time  thinking  ahout 
him,  less  about  what  he  says.

Rose  Gortrell 
Reigns  As  Queen 

By  Frank  Prince 

Rose  Cartrell  who  reigns  as  Miss 
Savannah  State  for  1952-53,  is  not  only 
ihe  College  Queen,  but  is  the  sum  total 
of  a  pleasing  personality,  a  fine  char- 
acter, and  a  good  student. 

Miss  Cartrell,  a  senior  English  ma- 
jor, is  a  native  of  Savannah.  She  is 
one  of  six  daughters  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Barnett  Cartrell.  1007  West  41st  street. 
She  has  spent  most  of  her  life  hero 
in   this  beautiful  seaport   town. 

As  a  student  in  the  city's  public 
schools,  she  has  always  shown  the  char- 
acteristics of  one  who  is  talented.  In 
1945,  while  a  student  at  Cuyler  Junior 
High  -School,  she  was  voted  "Miss  Cuy- 
ler." The  preceding  year  she  played 
the  violin  as  a  member  of  the  school's 
Concert   Band. 

"Miss  Savannah  Stale"  has,  from  the 
age  of  four,  shown  great  talent  in  play- 
ing the  piano.  Because  of  her  talent  |  J~Jjjj 
at  this  lender  age,  she  was  dubbed  a 
child  prodigy.  Miss  Gartrcll  has  given 
several  piano  concerts  over  local  radio 
stations.  An  unusual  feature  of  Miss 
Cartrell's  piano  performances  is  that 
she  plays  by  ear. 

Miss  Cartrell  enrolled  at  Savannah 
Stale  in  September,  1949.  Her  original 
ambition  was  to  become  a  missionary, 
but  she  was  so  impressed  by  her  high 
school  English  teacher  that  she  changed 
her  plans. 

Since  becoming  a  student  here,  Miss 
Cartrell  bus,  in  addition  to  her  regular 
class  duties,  participated  in  many  extra- 
curricular activities.  Among  them  are 
the  Cheering  Squad  and  ihe  Creative 
Dance  Croup. 

After  finishing  Savannah  Slate,  the 
personable  queen  hopes  to  teach.  She 
also  intends  to  work  toward  the  mus- 
ter's degree  in  English. 

A  Methodist  by  faith,  Miss  Garlrell's 
hobbies  are  musical.  When  asked  about 
her  hobbies,  she  quickly  responded,  "I 
love  good  music  and  dancing."

which  won  first  prize  among  flouts,  ac- 
cording to  an  announcement  by  Frank 
Thorpe,  Homecoming  committee  chair- 
man, and  Felix  Alexis,  parade  chair-

car  went  to  the  Sigma  Gamma  Rho 
sorority.  The  General  Alumni  Associa- 
tion and  Kappa  Alpha  Psi  fraternity

on  the  topic,  "Life  Is  What  You  Make 
It,"  during  vesper  services  held  in 
Meldrim  Auditorium,  October  26. 

Reverend  Ayers  said  that  there  are 
three  things  man  can  do  with  life : 
"One,  run  from  it,  In  that  way  you 
will  never  reach  your  goal.  Two,  run 
with  it;  and  surely  you  will  be  defeat- 
ed. Three,  run,  and  be  the  master  of 
it — this  alone  is  success." 

The  chaplain  ended  his  speech  with 
litis  thought:  "Jesus  said,  'Whosoever 
shall  lose  his  life  for  my  sake  shall 
find  it'." 

The  audience  participated  in  on  in- 
terpretative service,  "Faith  of  Our  Fa- 
there."  The  College  Choir,  directed 
by  Profcssoi  L.  Allan  Pyke,  rendered 
two  selections,  "Alleluia"  and  "Co 
Down,    Death."

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


November,  1952 


LET  US  GIVE  THANKS 

When  the  weary  Pilgrams  first  landed  on  the  shore  of  this  land 
we  call  America,  they  had  no  premonition  of  the  great  Thanksgiving 
celebrations  which  were  to  come.  After  much  misfortune,  they  finally 
succeeded  in  setting  the  pace  for  our  great  American  heritage.  After 
having  triumphed  over  many  obstacles,  they  set  aside  a  day  on  which 
they  would  thank  God    for    the    success    which    the    had    achieved. 

Today,  Americans  everywhere  pause  to  give  thanks  to  God  on 
Thanksgiving  Day.  As  Americans,  we  have  many  things  for  which  to 
be  thankful.  We  are  groteful  to  God  for  life,  for  liberty,  and  for 
the  pursuit  of  happiness.  Americans  are  grateful  for  the  supreme  law 
of  the  land  which  guarantees  freedom  of  speech,  of  the  press,  and  of 
religion.  To  God  we  give  thanks  for  being  ablt  to  pursue  trie  ob- 
jectives of  our  choice    without    political    domination. 

Thanksgiving  Day  is  one  on  which  we  should  abandon  our  daily 
routine  and  dedicate  some  time  to  reminiscence.  By  engaging  in  the 
process  of  remembrance,  we  relive  our  past.  Those  vivid  moments  of 
the  past  again  become  real  to  us.  Not  until  then  do  we  realize  how 
numerous  our  blessings  have  been,  and  the  many  reasons  for  which 
we  should  thank  God.  Of  course,  there  will  be  moments  of  despair, 
as  well  as  moments  of  pleasure.  But  we  should  pause  and  ask  our- 
selves the  question:  What  is  life  except  a  series  of  misfortunes  and 
triumphs?  It  is  a  combination  of  the  two  which  makes  life  challenging 
and  worth  living. 

After  having  considered  the  essence  of  life,  we  should  find  a 
greater  cause  for  which   to  give    thanks    to    God.

The  Church:  A  Living  Influence 

By  Rose  E.  Curl  ret  I  Vann 

The  must  important  function  of  ihe  church  is  to  provide  a  place 
for  worship.  Through  worship,  people  are  brought  closer  to  God. 
Church  music,  readings,  prayers,  and  services  are  aids  to  worship.  A 
good  sermon,  well  expressed,  will  direct  the  thoughts  and  emotions  of 
the  congregation  toward  better  things  of  life. 

The  church  inspires  people  to  do  right  and  avoid  wrong.  It  urges 
people  In  live  according  to  the  highest  ideals  of  conduct.  To  develop 
in  every  person  a  righteous  character  is  one  of  the  most  important  aims 
of  the  church.  The  church  emphasizes  the  higher,  nobler,  and  purer 
things  of  life.  "People  are  like  clocks."  they  need  to  be  wound  up  to 
keep  true  to  the  better  things  of  life. 

When  times  are  very  trying,  church  attendance  helps  us  to 
strengthen  our  ideals.  In  times  of  trouble  the  teachings  of  the  church 
give  us  faith  and  courage  to  carry  on  in  spite  of  our  difficulties.  Even 
though  all  people  are  not  members  of  the  church,  and  do  not  attend 
its  services,   all  are   influenced   indirectly   by   the   church. 

The  church's  constant  emphasis  on  ideals  of  honesty,  fair  play. 
kindness,  helpfulness,  and  justice  is  sure  to  have  an  effect  on  the  life 
of  the   entire  community   and   the   nation. 


SSG    A    BACKWARD   GLANCE 

Information  given  in  the  Savannah  Slate  College  (then  Georgia 
State  Industrial  College)  catalogue  for  the  year  1907  reveals  a  number 
of  interesting  facts. 

According  to  this  catalogue,  no  scholarships  were  offered  that 
year.  The  faculty  desired  lo  secure  832.00  per  student,  "from  philan- 
thropic persons,"  for  those  deserving  students  who  could  not  meet  their 
financial  obligations. 

Compare  this  with  the  Scholarship  Drive  that  is  being  sponsored 
this  year  by  the  Savannah  State  Alumni  Association,  ana1  with  the  fact 
that  our  present  catalogue  lias  the  following  regarding  scholarships: 
"A  limited  number  of  special  scholarships  are  available  lo  selected 
students  who  meet  the  required  standards  of  scholastic  merit,  high 
character,  general  promise,  and  superior  achievement  in  certain  specific 
areas  oj  the  College  program." 

\An  1007,  each  (Georgia )  Savannah  State  College  student  was 
n  fifteen  days  after  he  entered  school.

required  to  buy  a  uniform  withi 
bThe  old  catalogue  also  set  fc 
and  the  use  of  tobacco. 


Being  on  the  level  has  helped  many  a  man  to  win  an  uphill  fight. 

You  can  take  a  man  out  of  the  country,   hut   you   cant  take  the 
country  out  of  the  man. 

When  it  comes  to  cooking  up  a  scheme  so  many  of  them  are  half- 
baked. 

The  family  car  is  part  of  the  home,  says  a  writer.     It  is  probably 
lived  in  more  than  the  home. 

An  Optimist  is  a  person  who  thinks  he  can   build  an  addition   to 
his  home  at  a  low  figure. 


LONELINESS 

By  Nancy  Kimhruugh  Slack 

Loneliness  is  a  state  I   know. 

It  follows  me  wherever  I  go. 

I  thought  I  had  escaped  its  haunt- 
ing gra^p. 

I  felt  safe,  contented,  and  loved 
at  last. 

Tonight  I  sit  upon  a  silent  hill. 
And  force  my  lonely  heart  to  keep 

still. 
Self     accusation     will     bring     no 

peace. 
It's  time  for  realities  to  begin 
And  daydreams  to  cease. 

Stand   not   with  me  in  these  cold, 

sunless  morns. 
Loneliness  lias  taken  away  all  of 

my  promised  dawns.

Tomorrow    Never   Comes 

By  Doris  A.  Sanders 
It  lias  been  written  by  sages, 
And  it  has  been  sung  in  songs. 
Don't  put  off  today  for  tomorrow. 
For  tomorrow  never  comes. 

If  you  have  a  problem  to  tackle, 
Or  some  duty  you  must  perform, 
Do  it  today,  not  tomorrow. 

For  tomorrow  never  comes.

The  Roving 
Reporter 

By  Hermenia  Mob  ley 

Do  you  think  chapel  attendance 
should  be  compulsory? 

"The  cultural  development  of 
an  individual  depends  on  his  in- 
tellect, interest,  and  attitude.  Since 
some  students  are  not  exposed  to 
certain  cultural  things  at  home, 
they  will  not  attempt  to  develop 
this  aspect  of  their  education  un- 
less they  are  encouraged  to  do  so. 
or  sometimes  forced  to  do  so. 
Therefore.  I  think  that  chapel  at- 
tendance should  be  compulsory." 
Elizabeth   Haynes 

rjphapel  attendance  should  not 
be  compulsory.  I  don't  think  men 
and  women  in  college  should  be 
compelled  to  do  anything,  fur  when 
a  person  is  old  enough  to  come 
to  college  be  is  usually  old  enough 
to  decide,  with  a  bit  of  guidance, 
what  he  should  do  or  what  he 
should  attend.  If  chapel  pro- 
grams are  made  interesting  and 
inspiring,  the  student  will  go 
without  being  compelled." 

Agnes  Bess 
l^Kiion't  think  chapel  should  be 
compulsory  for  the  mere  fact  that 
we.  as  college  students,  should  be 
self-reliant,  diligent,  and  trust- 
worthy. If  we  have  these  charac- 
teristics we  should  not  be  com- 
pelled to  do  anything,  but  we  will 
do  only  those  things  which  are 
intelligent." 

Ellen  Manning 
Vneing  a  college  student  I  think 
it  is  unnecessary  to  compel  one 
to  attend  chapel.  I  think  any  col- 
lege student  would  want  to  keep 
up  with  the  daily  changes  or  the 
activities  which  are  carried  on  in 
the  college.  By  attending  chapel 
without  being  compelled,  one  gets 
more  out  of  chapel  programs  than 
if  he  were  compelled  to  attend. 
If  programs  are  interesting,  it 
would  be  unnecessary  to  compel 
students  to  go  to  chapel." 

Henry  Praylo 

Yes,  the  majority  of  the  students 
would  not  be  present  if  chapel 
were  not  compulsory. 

Miriam    Baeote 

The  chapel  programs  should  be 
so  well  planned  so  as  to  hold  the 
interest  of  the  students.  Then 
they  would  not  have  to  be  com- 
pulsory. Whether  students  should 
attend  chapel  is  left  up  to  the  stu- 
dents. After  all.  college  is  sup- 
posed to  be  an  adult  institution. 
where  men  and  women  make  their 
own  discussions.      Rose  M.  Vann 

Chapel  attendance  should  be 
compulsory  in  order  for  students 
to  obtain  a  wider  scope  of  ideas 
and  values.         James  T.  Gibbons 

Yes.  I  think  attendance  regula- 
tions relative  lo  chapel  programs 
should  remain  as  they  are.  They 
have  proved  to  be  effective  for 
many  reasons  which  have  been 
explained.  John   Wat  kins 

I  do  not  think  that  chapel  at- 
tendance should  be  compulsory. 
The  programs  should  be  so  chal- 
lenging that  students  will  go  on 
their  own  free  will  and  enjoy  them 
so  much  they'll  go  every  week.

Stranger  and  Alone.     J.  Saunders 
Redding.       Harcourt.     Brace    and 
Company.   New    York.    1950. 

The  novel.  Stranger  and  Alone. 
is  based  on  the  life  of  Shelton 
Howden.  a  Negro  who  is  malad- 
justed, frustrated,  and  emotionally 
upset.  Howden  suffers  from  a 
complex  which  causes  him  to  feel 
isolated,  and  which  causes  other 
students  at  his  college  to  misunder- 
stand and  dislike  him.  For  a  long 
time  intensely  anti-racial,  Howden 
carries  a  chip  on  his  shoulder 
until  he  meets  Valerie  Tillet.  who 
helps  him  to  adjust  to  the  other 
students  and  to  his  college  environ- 

The  author  has  uniquely  exem- 
plified how  an  individual  may  nor- 
mally adjust  himself  to  society 
through  understanding.  The  story 
also  points  out  the  fact  that  some 
people  tend  to  live  in  the  "night- 
marc  of  race." 


Cool  shadows  creep  .  .  . 

The  sun  sinks  behind  the  hills  .  .  . 

The  noises  of  day  fade  into  the  shadows  .  .  . 
And,  like  a  thin  fog.  twilight 
Silently  closes  in.  .  .  . 

Twilight  at  autumn.  .  ,  .  Time  hangs  suspended  on  the  brink  of  that 
dim  chasm  which  separates  day  and  night.  ■  .  .  A- flock  of  birds  dip 
their  wings  in  salute  to  the  fast  dying  sun.  and  are  swallowed  up  by  the 
abyss.  .  .  .  The  rich  golden  colors  of  autumn  lose  their  brilliance  as 
the  shadows  embrace  them.  ...  I  fill  my  lungs  with  pine-scented 
air.  ...  I  walk.  .  .  .  The  soft  carpet  of  grass  that  floors  the  valley 
makes  a  swooshing  sound  as  it  gives  under  the  weight  of  my  steps.  .  . . 

Twilight  deepens  ...  a  nightingale  whistles  a  love  lay.  ...  In 
a  moment  the  woods  are  deathly  still.  .  .  .  The  silence  is  almost  audible. 
and  then  it  is  broken  by  the  trilling  song  of  the  answering  mate.  .  .  . 
Through  the  trees,  square  patches  of  golden  light  peer  unhlinkingly  at 
me  like  so  many  eyes.  .  .  . 

Two  small  children  and  a  dog  leap  agilely  across  the  path,  following 
a  little  road  that  leads  to  a  small  house  off  to  the  right.  .  .  .  Shuffling 
behind  them  at  about  fifty  paces  is  an  old  man  whose  steps  are  very 
slow  and  uncertain.  .  .  .  His  back  is  a  curving  arch,  and  he  walks  as  if 
a  great  weight  is  tied  around  his  neck.  ...  He  takes  a  hook-shaped 
pipe  from  Ins  mouth  and  blows  a  great  cloud  of  smoke  into  the  air.  and 
with  a  '/Howdy,  young  fellow,"  passes  on.  ...  He  reaches  the  yard, 
opens  a  sagging  gate  and  enters.  ...  As  I  watch  him  begin  to  mount 
the  steps.  I  think  of  a  song  that  begins.  "All  things  come  home  at 
eventide."  .  .  .  High  up  in  a  tree  the  last  of  a  flock  of  birds  settles  in 
its  nest.  .  .  .  The  door  bangs  shut  behind  the  ohl  man.  .  .  . 

I  walk  on  until  I  reach  a  narrow  stream  upon  whose  hanks  I  sit 
down  with  my  back  against  a  tree.  .  .  .  The  shadows  are  very  deep 
now.  .  .  .  The  stream  bubbles  softly  and  disappears  around  the  bend. 
...  1  compose  a  lay  to  the  dusk.  .  .  . 

"How  beautiful  is  the  dusk.  ...  Its  blue-gray  shadows  so  thin  .  .  . 
and  yet  so  deep.  ...  Its  breezes  so  cool  and  yet  so  soft.  ...  Its  stars 
so  pale,  and  yet  so  bright.  .  .  .  How  beautiful,  how  glorious  is  the  dusk." 

From  an  open  window  not  far  away,  the  enchanting  melody  of 
Debussey's  "Claire  de  Lune"  drifts  like  smoke  through  the  thick  woods. 
.  ,  .  High  above  the  trees  a  thin  crescent  moon  pronounces  the  benedic- 
tion of  the  day.  .  .  .

How  To  Graduate 
The  Plagiary  Way 

tACP) — Princeton  University  admin- 
istrators discovered  last  week  that  two 
members  of  the  1952  graduating  class 
forged  their  senior  theses  in  "one  of 
the  most  flagrant  examples  of  plagiar- 
ism" ever  attempted  at  Princeton. 

Both  men,  members  of  the  English 
and  Modern  Languages  department, 
were  iound  to  have  -ubmitled  almost 
exact  copies  of  master's  theses  stolen 
from  the  Columbia  University  library 
last  winter  .  When  faced  with  the  evi- 
dence, both  admitted  the  work  was  not 
their  own,  but  denied  outside  help  or 
having  paid  for  the  theses. 

No  disciplinary  measures  have  been 
announced.  Two  years  ago  there  were 
numerous  reports  of  New  York  agents 
receiving  up  to  S700  for  the  forging 
of  theses  for  Princeton  seniors.

A  PROGRAM  FOR  ACTION 

By  Johnny  Paul  Jones 

Athletic  Director  Theodore  A.  Wright  and  Head  Coach  John 
Martis  form  a  team  of  hard-working,  untiring  workers  who  love 
athletics  and  live  with  llie  competition  it  fosters.  The  Savannah  State 
Athletic  department  tries  to  develop  real  men  and  women  who  will 
contribute  to  the  welfare  of  the  race,  the  nation,  and  the  world. 

The  student  athletes  arc  taught  the  fundamentals  of  football, 
basketball,  and  track.  The  athletic  slaff  expects  these  young  men  and 
women  to  use  these  fundamentals  in  later  life  as  they  go  out  into  the 
world  to  become  useful  citizens. 

The  SSC  Alumni  Association  has  an  obligation  to  these  young  men 
and  women  who  give  of  their  time  and  efforts  to  bring  glory  and 
honor  to  our  Alma  Mater. 

Graduation  and  the  Korean  conflict  have  taken  their  toll  of  the 
athletic  program  at  State.  The  Alumni  Association  needs  to  do  some 
spade  work  among  the  boys  and  girls  in  high  schools  in  every  city 
where  there  are  Savannah  State  graduates. 

The  Association  eould  sponsor  Scholarship  aid  programs  for 
deserving  athletes  and  musicians.  (A  good  band  is  conducive  to  a 
good  athletic  program.) 

This  would  give  SSC  the  comeback  in  hand  and  athletic  standing 
that  its  supporters  dream  about. 


The  Gl  Bill: 
No  Free  Rides 

(ACPI— The  new  CI  bill  is  tougher 
than  the  old  one.  A  veteran  now  must 
declare  his  major  as  soon  as  he  enters 
school,  and  he's  entitled  to  just  one 
change  during  his  college  career. 

And  the  change  is  not  easy  to  get. 
The  vet  has  to  show  he  is  not  guilty 
of  misconduct,  neglect  or  lack  ol  appli- 
cation. Then  he  must  take  a  battery 
of  tests.  If  he  gets  through  unscathed. 
be  can  change  bis  major. 

Here  are  the  main  points  in  the  new 
bill:  The  veteran  will  be  paid  a  lump 
sum  each  month.  Out  of  this  sum 
he  must  pay  tuition  and  all  other 
expenses.  Tuition  payments  generally 
run    about   one-third  of  his   total   allol- 

It's  up  to  the  campus  vet's  instruc- 
tors to  turn  in  monthly  progress  reports 
to  the  Veterans  Administration.  Serious 
trouble  can  result  if  these  reports  are 
delayed  or  if  they  are  not  turned  in  by 
the   instructors.

Studentship: 
10  Easy  Gambits 

ACP)— Here  are  "10  Ways  to  Get 
Through  College  Without  Even  Try- 
ingli"  as  written  in  Pageant  magazine 
by  Prof.  Robert  Tyson  of  Hunter 
College: 

1.  Bring  the  professor  newspaper 
clippings  dealing  with  bis  subject.  If 
you  don't  find  clippings  dealing  with 
his  subject,  bring  clippings  at  random. 
He    thinks    everything    deals    with    his 

2.  Look  alert.  Take  notes  eagerly. 
If  you  look  at  your  watch,  don't  stare 
at  it   unbelievingly  and  shake  it. 

3.  Nod  frequently  and  murmur  "'How 
true!"  To  you,  this  seems  exagger- 
ated,    To  him,  it's  quite  objective. 

4.  Sit  in  front,  near  him.  (Applies 
only  if  you  intend  lo  stay  awake).  .  .  . 

5.  Laugh  at  his  jokes  You  can 
tell.  If  he  looks  up  from  his  notes 
and  smiles  expectantly,  be  has  told  a 
joke. 

6.  Ask  for  outside  reading.  Yoh 
don't    have    lo  read    it.     Just   ask. 

7.  If  you  must  sleep,  arrange  to  be 
called  at  the  end  of  the  hour.  It  cre- 
ates an  unfavorable  impression  if  (he 
rest  of  the  class  has  left  and  you  sit 
there  alone,  dozing. 

8.  Be  sure  the  book  you  read  during 
the  lecture  looks  like  a  hook  from  ihe 
course.  If  you  do  math  in  psychology 
class  and  psychology  in  malh  class, 
match  the  books  for  size  and  color. 

9.  Ask  any  questions  you  think  be 
can  answer.  Conversely,  avoid  announc- 
ing that  you  have  found  the  answer  to 
a  question  he  couldn't  answer,  and  in 
your  younger  brother's  second  reader 
at   that. 

10.  Call  attention  lo  his  writing. 
Produces  an  exquisitely  pleasant  ex- 
perience connected  with  you.  If  you 
know  he's  written  a  hook  or  an  article, 
ask   in  class  if  he  wrote  it. 


Park  Seminor 
Course  Tries 
Experiment 

Parkville,  Mo.— (IP)— A  seminar 
course  for  seniors  in  the  Social  Sci- 
ences division  at  Park  College  this 
year  features  the  interchange  of  de- 
part mental  methods  and  techniques. 
This  experimentation  in  General  Edu- 
cation is  expected  to  result  in  the 
construction  of  a  common  terminology 
as  well  as  a  broader  understanding  of 
ihe  contributions  of  the  several  disci- 
plines to  problem  solving  in  life  areas 
of  mutual  concern. 

Students  have  urged  such  a  course 
almost  from  the  time  the  divisional 
major  wa<  inaugurated  in  December, 
1948.  The  course  for  the  new  academic 
year  will  consist  of   fourteen   topics  of 

by  the  entire  -taff.  Most  departments 
are  vested  with  I  be  primary  responsi- 
bility for  the  pre-enUtion  of  two  lopics 
anil  share  secondary  responsibility  for 
others.  Students  will  actively  partici- 
pate in  the  bi-monthly  sessions. 

The  following  topics  will  be  dealt 
with  in  the  order  named:  Facts,  Gen- 
eralizations, Hypothoses;  Influence  of 
Folkways  and  Mores  in  the  Determi- 
nation of  a  Culture  Pattern;  Effects  of 
the  industrial  Resolution;  Puritanism. 
Pragmatism  and  Liberal  Christianity: 
Democracy;  Liberal  Arta  vs.  General 
Education;  Measurement  in  the  Social 
Sciences;  Indices  of  Social  Organiza- 
tion; Population  Problems;  Laissez 
(aire  versus  the  Welfare  Slate,  and 
Business  Cycles. 


SSC  Bows  to 
M'House  In 
Homecoming  Tilt 

The  Tigers  fell  before  the  Morehouse 
Maroon  Tigers,  7-2.  in  the  Homecoming 
gridiron  contest,  witnessed  by  5,000 
partisan  fans,  November  7.  The  first 
half  saw  Savannah  Slale  roll  up  110 
yards  rushing  and  passing  but  failing 
to  score.  Morehouse  moved  down  to 
the  Savannah  State  three,  hut  failed  to 
score  before  the  half. 

Charles  Cozart,  freshman  back  from 
Rockwood,  Tennessee,  proved  to  be  the 
star  of  the  game  as  he  unlinibered  his 
arm  and  passed  for  20  and  30  yards 
at  a  lime  for  SSC. 

When  Morehouse  kicked  off  for  the 
second  half,  Roscoe  Brewer  returned 
the  kick  back  ten  yards.  Cozart  passed 
for  20  yards  lo  move  the  ball  up  lo  the 
fifty,  and  Captain  Willie  Frank  John- 
son moved  the  ball  to  the  Morehouse 
50.  Four  plays  later,  Claudie  Roberts 
attempted  to  kick  a  field  goal  from 
Ihe  25  but   it  was  wide. 

Morehouse  look  the  ball  on  the  20 
and  failed  to  gain.  State  look  over, 
bui  was  penalized  for  roughness,  15 
yards,  and  again  for  off  side.  Cozart 
again  unlinibered  his  passing  arm  and 
hit  McDaniel  for  20  yards.  On  the 
next  play,  Cozart  passed  again  for  20. 
After  Ihe  SSC  Tigers  moved  into  More 
house's  territory,  ihey  failed  to  score, 
and  Morehouse  took  over.  After  the 
ball  bad  changed  several  limes  as  the 
two  evenly  matched  teams  failed  to 
develop  the  power  necessary1  to  carry 
thm  over  the  goal  line.  Morehouse 
passed  to  the  end  zone  to  end  the 
scoreless  game.  The  extra  point  was 
good  and  Morehouse  led  in  the  last  five 
minutes  of  the  game,  7-0. 

On  the  kick-off,  Claudie  Roberts  re- 
turned  ihe  ball  to  the  35.  Cozart  passed 
to  Collier  to  move  ihe  ball  to  the  More- 
house 35.  On  the  next  play,  a  More- 
house player  intercepted  a  pass  thrown 
by  Claudie  Roberts  and  was  tackled 
behind  the  goal  line  to  give  SSC  a 
safety. 


Bethune-Cookman 
Wallops  State,  67-0 

The  Bethune-Cookman  Wildcats  ran 
up  a  total  of  six  first  downs  and  427 
yards  rushing,  to  defeat  the  SSC  Tigers, 
67-0.  before  a  home  crowd  of  3,000. 
under  the  lights  at  Savannah. 

Wallace  Rasberry,  Clayd  Sanders,  and 
William  O'Parrow  combined  running, 
passing,  and  kicking  to  overpower  the 
inexperienced,  predominantly  freshman 
Savannah  team.  Leonard  Sims,  150  lb. 
freshman  back  from  the  Wayne  County 
High  School.  Jesup,  was  ihe  ouistand- 
ing  player  for  Stale.  Sims  picked  up 
138  yards  rushing  for  the  Tigers. 

Captain  Willie  Frank  Johnson  played 
his  usual  game,  putting  all  the  effort 
and  spirit  possible  into  the  clash.  Add- 
ing support  were  William  Weather- 
spoon,  Charlie  Cozart,  James  Ashe, 
Claudie  Roberts,  and  John  "Big  Bruis- 
er" Johnson.  Johnson,  255  lb.  tackle, 
got  going  by  making  several  spectacu- 
lar plays  in  throwing  Wildcat  ball  car- 
riers for  a  loss. 

The  Tiger  passing  attack  failed  to 
produce  a  touchdown,  but  the  young 
team  showed  potentialities  of  coming 
greatness. 


Elizabeth  City 
Takes  Victory 

Elizabeth  City,  Uct.  4.— The  smooth 
sailing  Pirates  of  Elizabeth  City  Teach- 
ers College  topped  the  SSC  Tigers  be- 
fore a  capacity  crowd  of  approximately 
1600  strongly  partisan  fans,  on  October 
4,  with  a  score  of  31-0.  The  SSC  team, 
composed  mainly  of  freshmen,  was  out- 
classed  in   every  area  except  punting. 

Lee  Bolh,  PirHle  back,  drew  blood 
on  an  off-lacklc  run  of  ten  yards  to 
score.  The  kick  was  wide  and  the 
score  stood  at  6-0. 

Just  before  the  half  ended  ihe  Pirates 
struck  again  with  a  pass  play  from 
Davis  to  Randall  in  the  same  zone.  The 
half  ended  12-0  in  favor  of  Elizabeth 
City. 

SSC  backs,  Claudie  Roberts  and 
Charlie  Co/art  showed  fire  in  their  first 
college  game.  Merrill  and  Weather- 
spoon  also  stood  out  for  Slale. 


'Bama  Hornets 
Get  Revenge 

MONTGOMERY,  Oct.  10,-The  Ala- 

bama  State  Hornets,  seeking  revenge 
for  last  year's  defeat  by  the  Tigers,  out- 
scored  the  Tigers-in  a  running,  passing 
game,  34-7,  before  a  crowd  of  nearly 
2,000  in  the  Hornet  Stadium,  at  Mont- 
gomery. 

'Bama  State  struck  five  limes  by  air 
and  ground  and  scored  a  safety,  while 
SSC's  lone  tally  was  on  a  pass  play 
from  Claudie  Roberts  lo  Walter  Cook. 
The  point  after  touchdown  was  on  a 
pass  from  Charlie  Cozart  to  L.  J.  Mc- 
Daniel. Roscoe  Brower  and  William 
Weatherspoon  played  a  fine  game  for 
Savannah,  and  Captain  Willie  Frank 
Johnson  proved  to  be  a  throw-back  to 
ihe  old  "sixty-minute  man"  in  football. 

While  Captain  Johnson  was  the  out- 
standing player  for  SSC,  Sampson 
Collon,  Clarence  Seldon,  and  Cornell 
Torrence  proved  lo  he  the  'Bama  State 
victory  combination. 


Morris   Defeats 
SSC  Tigers 

Morris  College  defeated  the  SSC 
Tigers,  37-0,  before  2,000  fans  at  the 
Savannah  State  Athletic  Field,  October 
17.  Savannah  State  outplayed  the  SEAC 
champions,  but  Morris  scored  on  a 
68-yard  drive  by  Eddie  Johnson  al  the 
half.     The  extra  point  was  no  good. 

Johnson  scored  the  second  tally  for 
the  winners.  Other  scores  were  made 
by  Lou  Huckett.  who  counted  twice. 
The  final  marker  was  scored  on  a  pass, 
Jack  Hill  to  Smith  Payne.  Sam  Joser 
kickeil  ihe  extra  point. 

Backs  Claudie  Roberts.  Frank  John- 
son, James  Collier,  and  Roscoe  Brower, 
and  lineman  Randy  Cilbert  starred  for 
Savannah.

longer  double  as  entertainers,  accord- 
ing to  the  new  code  of  elhics  laid  down 
last  winter  by  the  American  Football 
Coaches  Association.  The  code  must 
be  approved  at  this  winter's  meeting. 

From  then  on,  says  the  Association, 
it  will  be  unethical  for  coaches  to  "pick 
weekly  game  winners  or  to  participate 
in  football  polls  or  rating  systems  ..." 
and  lo  "show  movies  of  critical  plays

A  native  of  Kansas  City.  Missouri. 
Mr.  Hampton  has  served  three  years 
in  the  armed  services,  two  and  one  half 
of  which  were  spent  in  the   ETO. 

During:  his  sophomore  year  in  col-

He  is  a  member  of  the  College  Art

idea. 

To  be  utterly  frank  (and  there's  no 
sense  in  being  frank  without  being  utter 
about  it)  the  show  is  a  direct  takeoff 
on  Meet  the  Press,  Miss  Hagy  is  a 
slightly  more  personable — on  TV  at 
least— Martha  Roundtree.  Her  guests 
are  national  figures  willing  to  be  put 
on  the  spot.  The  switch  is  that  Junior 
Press  Conference's  questioner)  are  col- 
lege newspaper  reporters  instead  of 
their  more  experienced  and  blase  col- 
leagues from  the  metropolitan  dailies. 
A  Healthy  Thing 

The  "yoot"  of  America,  heretofore 
the  personal  properly  of  John  (Ox) 
DaGrosa,  thus  are  given  an  opportunity 
to  conduct  an  inquisition  in  their  own 
articulate,  if  somewhat  rambunctious 
fashion.  It  makes  for  good  television, 
asideaside  from  the  fad  that  it's  a 
darned  healthy  thing  for  all  of  us. 

Occasionally  we  have  seen  Theo- 
dore Granik  and  his  Youth  Wants  to 
Know  program  in  Philadelphia.  Granik 
fills  a  studio  with  50  high  school  boys 
and  girls  and  lets  them  fire  questions 
at  such  interesting  people  as  Governor 
Dewey  and  Rudolph  Halley.  Unfortu- 
nately, because  of  the  large  number 
of  quizzers,  the  questions  have  to  be 
pretyy  well  set  in  advance  and  there's 
little  lime  to  develop  a  subject  ade- 
quately. 
A  Free-For-AU 

Junior  Press  Conference,  by  u>ing  the 
Meet  the  Press  format,  is  more  of  a 
free-for-all.  And  since  the  questioners 
arc  college  rather  than  high  school 
students,  they  are  equipped  with  more 
background  and,  if  possible,  more  ten- 
acity. Lost  Sunday's  junior  Lawrence 
Spivaks  included  lads  from  Penn  ami 
North  Carolina,  and  girls  from  North- 
western and  Beaver.  Their  victims 
were  Senator  and  Mrs.  Estes  Kefauver. 

Their  subject  was  "Corruption"  as 
it  relates  to  the  current  political  cam- 
paign, but  the  Senator  found  himself 
talking  about  such  matters  as  Senator 
Sparkman's  voting  record  on  civil  rights 
measures.  Governor  Stevenson's  accept- 
ance of  support  from  Jake  Arvey  and 
President  Truman,  Dwighl  D.  Eisen- 
hower's plan  lo  visit  Korea,  and  why 
he,  Senator  Kefauver,  wasn't  nominated 
at  Chicago.

standpoint." 

He   staled    that    he   hopes   to   have   a 

chance  to  "record  some  of  tin-  campus 
scenes    artistically." 

Mr.  Hampton  is  married  and  has  one 
child. 

Senator  Neglected 

Not  thai  the  corruption  issue  was 
forgotten.  Indeed  the  questioners 
found  themselves  answering  one  an- 
other at  one  point  and  the  Senator 
and  his  pretty  wife  were  all  but  neg- 
lected in  the  hot  interchange  between 
the  gentleman  from  North  Carolina  and 
the  very  determined  young  lady  from 
Heaver  College. 

Miss  Hagy,  if  I  may  venture  a  small 
criticism,  talks  too  much  hut  not  often 
enough.  Her  introductions  could  be 
shorter,  and  her  infrequent  interrup- 
tions to  get  the  show  back  on  subject 
should  be  condensed  into  fewer  words. 
It  might  be  a  good  idea  lo  have  a  little 
more  discipline  on  the  program,  too — 
with  the  questioners  looking  to  her  for 
recognition  instead  of  speaking  directly

Near  Anonymity 

The  students  operated  last  Sunday 
in  near  anonymity,  the  audience  catch- 
ing their  names  at  the  outset,  but 
having  no  other  means  of  identifying 
them  other  than  their  little  desk  signs 
which  carried  the  names  of  their  col- 
leges. At  one  point  Senator  Kefauver 
himself  addressed  Nell  Cayley  of  Beaver 
College  as  "Miss  Beaver." 

TV  audiences  have  a  wide  choice 
of  discussion  programs  in  which  ex- 
perts lake  basic  aspects  of  politics  for 
granted  and  spend  most  of  their  time 
on  fine  points.  It's  refreshing  lo  hear 
a  question  like,  "But  what  can  I  do 
myself,  as  an  individual,  about  corrup- 
tion in  Government?"  as  wc  heard 
Sunday  from  Patricia  McGwire  of 
Northwestern    University,

PROFILE 
OF  A  COED 

By   Margaret  B.  Wiltz 


Johnnie  Mao  Cruise,  of  Screven 
County,  the  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mr>. 
Earnest  Cruise,  was  born  on  May  23. 
1933.  There  are  eight  children  in  her 
family,  two  boys  and  sia  girls. 

Johnnie  Mae  attended  Harris,  a  pub- 
lic school,  for  two  years,  after  which 
she  became  totally  blind.  For  nine 
years  she  attended  the  Georgia  Acad- 
emy for  the  Blind,  in  Macon. 

"Miss  Josephine  Johnson,  a  teacher 
at  the  Academy,  was  my  favorite  teach- 
er, for  she  helped  me  adjust  to  the 
new  siluation,"  said  Johnnie  Mae,. 

Mrs,  Ed  Fisher,  a  summer  student, 
influenced  Johnnie  Mae  in  selecting 
Savannah  State  College.  "I  came  here 
because  I  like  secrelarial  work.  How- 
ever. 1  ant  more  interested  in  music." 
the  personable  coed  added. 

When  asked  about  her  adjustment 
lo  college  life,  Johnnie  Mae  said,  "The 
classes  are  fine  ami  I  do  not  find  them 
loo  difficult  because  I  memorize  well. 
In  fact  I  depend  on  my  memory  for 
everything." 

Miss  Cruise,  whose  hobbies  include 
collecting  classical  records,  stated  that 
two  of  her  most  interesting  experience- 
were  playing  for  the  Lounge  Club  in 
Macon,  and  traveling  alone  to  visit  her 
aunl  who  lives  in  Miami. 

"The  students  at  Savannah  State  are 
wonderful,"  asserted  Miss  Cruise.  She 
interprets  the  campus  as  a  circle,  with 
many  heauiiful  Irees,  laden  with  moss, 
with      a      beautiful      lawn,      and      fine 

;.in;,!i',_- 

Johnnie  Mae's  plans  for  the  future 
include  a  job,  traveling,  and  marriage. 

Miss  Cruise  staled  that  she  has  no 
regrets  because  of  her  handicap.  She 
said  that  her  other  senses  are  very 
acute,  and  that  she  can  feel  beauty  in 
what  some  might  call  ugly;  she  can 
smell   the  sweetness  of  a  pancake. 

"I  can  visualize  many  things,"  llie 
alert  coed  said.

Conservation  Program 
Expanded  at  Yale 

New  Haven,  Conn.  (7.P.1— Yale  Uni- 
versity is  expanding  into  the  under- 
graduate level  its  graduate  Conserva- 
lion  Program  started  iwo  years  ago. 
First  step  in  the  expansion  is  a  new 
course.  "Plants  and  Man,"  which  is 
being  offered  for  the  first  time  this 
fall  to  liveral  arts  as  well  as  science 
students  here. 

The  move  is  viewed  as  concrete  evi- 
dence of  the  success  of  the  Concer- 
vatiou  Program  at  Yale,  one  of  the 
country's  first  graduate  set-ups  devoted 
entirely  to  research  and  instruction  in 
the  conservation  ol  natural  resources. 
The  pragram  has  attracted  nation-wide 
interest  in  the  academic  world  since 
its  inception.  The  department  will 
award  Master  of  Science  in  Conser- 
vation degrees  to  graduate  students  of 
the  two-year  course. 

Many  colleges  and  universities  are 
studying  the  possibility  of  starting  de- 
partments similar  lo  Yale's,  according 
to  Prof.  Paul  B.  Sears,  head  of  the 
program.  Requests  for  information 
mounted  last  year  to  such  an  extent 
that  a  folder  on  the  plan  was  issued 
and  has  been  mailed  out  widely,

MORRIS  LEVY'S 

Savannah's  Finest

and  Shop  (or  Women 


are  required  to  carry  out  the  program 
of  the  College,  according  to  Dr.  E.  K. 
Williams,  acting  dean  of  faculty. 

In  interpreting  this  statement,  Dr. 
Williams  showed  that,  in  some  deifrl- 
menls,  adjustments  have  been  made, 
based  upon  experiences  gained  last 
year. 

In  the  business  department,  there 
have  been  several  adjustments  to  meet 
th  needs  of  those  who  wish  to  get  only 
practical  experience  in  business,  and 
are  not  interested  in  working  toward 
a  degree.  One  of  llie  revised  courses 
is  Typing.  This  course,  in  the  past 
unaccredited,  is  now  a  regularly  cred- 
ited course. 

In  the  field  of  education,  changes 
have  been  made  to  accommodate  the 
new  block  schedule  for  certain  educa- 
tion courses.  School  Community  and 
Curriculum,  and  Human  Growth  and 
Learning  have  been  united  lo  form  one 
block  course  which  carries  eight  credit 
hours.  By  doing  this,  more  time  is 
allotted,  and  conflict  with  other  classes 
is  praitically  eliminated,  the  dean  said. 
/'"Dr.  Williams  also  indicated  other 
changes  in  the  academic  program.  This 
year,  all  freshmen  were  required  to  take 
the  English  Placement  Test,  the  Mathe- 
matical Plan  Tesl.  and  the  Psycholo- 
gical Test.  On  the  basis  of  test  results. 
freshmen  were  placed.  In  the  cases  of 
failure  to  meet  minimum  lest  standards, 
remedial   courses  were  set   up   for  fresh- 

The  affable  dean  slated  that  his 
hopes  in  the  staff  and  sludent  body  are 
high.  He  said.  "I  am  always  willing 
to  cooperate  in  giving  my  students  any 
information    pertaining    lo    the    welfare

South  of  "South  of  the  Border' 


B>    Irank  Prince 

My  trips  to  South  America 
have  taken  me  to  four  different 
countries.  In  these  countries,  we 
find  different  customs  and  ways 
cif  life  in  comparison  to  the  North 
American  way. 

In  1946.  the  Olympic  team  of 
the  epublic  of  Panama,  of  which 
I  am  a  member,  prepared  itself 
for  the  Central  American  and  Car- 
ibbean Gaines  that  were  to  be 
played  at  Barranquilla,  Colombia. 
The  procedures  that  constituted 
the  securing  of  a  passport  to  enter 
the  neighboring  country  were  not 
too  severe  due  to  the  fact  that  I 
was  travelling  as  an  official  of 
the   Panamanian  government. 

On  December  17.  we  flew  from 
Balboa,  Canal  Zone,  into  the  out- 
skirts of  the  city  of  Barranquilla. 
When  we  arrived  at  the  airport, 
we  were  greeted  by  delegates  of 
the  Colombian  Olympic  Commit- 
tee, and  a  host  of  mosquitoes. 

We  traveled  from  the  airport  to 
the  center  of  the  city,  a  distance 
df  about  fifteen  miles,  in  a  large 
omnibus.  On  the  road  we  no- 
ticed the  different  scenes  that  gave 
a  picture  of  the  customs  of  the 
people  of  that  city.  There  were 
burros  carrying  loads,  a  replica 
of  the  days  of  Christ;  there  were 
-nlso  carts  drawn  by  oxen,  ind 
women  with  loads  on  their  heads 
and  babies  in  their  arms.  These 
scenes  carried  our  minds  back  to 
the  pictures  ive  see  in  books  about 
foreign  lands. 

In  the  city  we  passed  the  Pala- 
cio  del  Presidente  (the  President's 
Palace),  where  we  were  astounded 
by  the  beautiful  uniforms  worn 
by  the  presidential  guards,  and  b> 
the  architectural  beauty  of  the 
building.  We  also  saw  the  statue 
of  Simon  Bolivar,  the  great  South 
American  emancipator 
Traveling  Is  Fun  and  Education 
Combined. 

The  following  year,  1947,  I  went 
on  a  similar  trip  to  the  beautiful 
silver  mining  country  of  Peru. 
Traveling  by  day  over  the  great 
Andes  mountains  was  both  thrill- 
ing and  frightful — thrilling  be- 
cause of  the  privilege  of  observing 
from  air  this  great  mountain 
range  and  the  craters  within  it: 
frightful  because  of  the  unex- 
pected and  unpredicted  stalling  of 
the  plane's  motors.  Of  course, 
we  all  realized  what  would  happen 
if  we  fell:  those  solid  mountain 
ranges  told  us. 


We  landed  at  Limaloba  Airport, 
a  ten-minute  ride  from  the  city, 
and  were  welcomed  by,  not  mos- 
quitoes this  lime,  but  by  45-degree 
weather  for  which  we  were  un- 
prepared. We  were  unprepared 
because  we  did  not  have  top-coals. 
In  Panama  we  do  not  use  this 
wearing  apparel  because  the  tem- 
perature there  does  not  drop  be- 
low 65.  We  are  situated,  geograph- 
ically, in  the  torrid  zone.  So  one 
can  just  imagine  how  we  felt  in 
this  strange  land. 

From  the  airport,  we  were  es- 
corted into  the  city  by  a  motor- 
cade of  six  motorcycle  policemen. 
Thi6  we  enjoyed  very  much  due 
to  the  added  attraction  of  having 
the  populace  attracted  to  our  cars. 
We  arrived  at  our  scheduled  [dace 
of  residence,  making  the  ten-min- 
ute trip  in  about  seven  minutes. 
This  place.  Escuela  Militar  Na- 
tional (National  Military  School) 
is  situated  near  one  of  the  chief 
seaports  of  Peru,  Callao. 

Our  stay  in  this  land  of  the 
Pampas,  as  it  is  seldom  called,  was 
very  enjoyable.  Besides  accom- 
plishing our  mission  of  partici- 
pating in  track  and  field  events, 
we  made  a  tour  of  the  country- 
side, and  some  interior  sections. 
The  average  standard  of  living 
there  is  far  below  that  of  the 
people  of  the  United  States.  In 
comparison,  my  home  is  about  on 
the  level  of  the  U.  S.  Techno- 
logically, the  U.  S.  is  far  superior 
to  both  mentioned  countries. 

On  our  trip  around  Peru  we 
saw  llamas,  a  very  rare  animal 
which  is  found  almost  exclusively 
in  Peru.  We  also  had  the  privi- 
lege of  seeing  a  mountain,  a  sec- 
tion of  the  Great  Andes,  that  has 
a  snow  cap  twelve  months  a  year. 
Here  the  people  ski  all  the  year 
round.  Silver  is  mined  extensive- 
ly in  this  land  of  the  Aztecs.  Here 
one  will  find  this  metal  as  cheap 
as  plastic  is  to  people  in  the  U.  S. 
The  people  are  very  friendly  and 
sociable.  Spanish,  of  course,  is 
llie  language  spoken. 


Self-Help  Building 
Program  Success 
At  Wilmington 

WILMINGTON.  0.,  Oct.  20  (IP)-— 
The  student  body  and  faculty  of  Wil- 
mington College  are  cooperating  on 
their  third  major-self-help  campus 
building  program.  Four  years  ago  they 
made  educational  history  in  headlines 
when  they  began  construction  in  the 
volunteer  work  thai  made  possible  a 
new  100-mati  dormitory.  This  lime  the 
co-eds  and  fellows  are  helping  to  build 
a  new  fine-arts  center;  a  one-story 
classroom  wing  of  the  new  auditorium. 

A  committee  of  30  students  and  live 
faculty  members  considered  and  ap- 
proved the  suggestion  that  the  college 
community  share  in  the  construction  of 
the  new  $400,000  campus  addition.  A 
six  member  executive  committee  was 
appointed,  and  is  directing  the  organi- 
zation of  a  program  for  this  purpose. 

Two  years  ago  the  student  body  and 
faculty  erected  a  new  athletic  stadium. 
and  in  between  the  students  have  been 
using  excess  energy  and  enthusiasm  to 
renovate  the  chapel,  fix  up  some  build- 
ings on  the  college  farm  and  even 
help  redecorate  the  local  children's 
home,  ft  has  become  a  Wilmington 
tradition  for  the  members  of  the  col- 
lege family  to  help  do  it  themselves 
whenever  there  is  a  job  to  be  done.

"To  be  a  good  athlete  requires  in-

coordination  on  the  part  of  the  player," 
according  to  Willie  Frank  Johnson,  co-

A  native  of  St.  Petersburg,  Florida, 
Johnson  was  graduated  from  Hutto 
High  School,  Bainhridge,  Georgia,  in 
1949.  He  was  the  fourth  honor  stu-

Johnson  was  elected  co-captain  of  the 
football  leam  for  19tti. 

"It  pays  to  be  industrious,"  said 
Johnson.  Proof  of  his  belief  in  this 
statement  is  the  fact  that  this  busy 
student  is  employed  as  an  assistant  in 
the  College  Bookstore. 

Being  aware  of  the  fact  that  a  stu- 
dent must  develop  socially  as  well  as 
mentally  and  physically,  Johnson  is 
interested  in  entering  Greekdom.  He 
is  a  member  of  ihe  Sphinx  Club  of 
Alpha   Phi   Alpha    fraternity. 

Co-Caplain  Roscoe  Brower  is  a  na- 
tive of  Thoniasville,  Georgia.  A  sen- 
ior majoring  in  industrial  arts,  Brower 
served  as  captain  of  the  football  team 
at    Douglas    High   School,   1948-49. 

Very  versatile  when  it  comes*  to 
sports,  Brower  earned  three  letters  in 
football,  one  in  baseball,  and  one  in 
track   while  in  high  school. 

Brower  also  participated  in  the  Y.  M.

assistant  junior  scoutmaster  while  at- 
tending Douglas  High. 

In  September,  1949,  Brower  entered 
Savannah  State  where  he  immediately 
became  a  member  of  the  football  team, 
the  Men's  Glee  Club,  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,

$resibent'£<  Christmas  jHegsage 

Christmas  for  the  year  1952  should  be  very  real  to  all  age  groups 
in  America— especially  to  young  men  and  women  in  our  colleges.  The 
traditional  joys  and  merriment  associated  with  Christmas  increase  in 
value  and  charm  as  one  develops  toward  maturity.  The  rich  heritage 
of  American  youth  whetted  by  college  training  opens  new  avenues  for 
a  genuine  enjoyment  of  this  season  of  the  year.  American,  ideals, 
institutions,  and  progress  provide  for  each  one  every  year  greater 
opportunity  to  share  and  enjoy  the  season.  May  your  Christinas  this 
year  be  the  best  because  you  have  helped  to  make  it  so.

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


December,  1952 


Peace  On  The  Earth,  Good  Will  To  Men 

It  came  upon  the  midnight  clear, 

That  glorious  song  of  old, 
From  angels  bending  near  the  earlh 

To  touch  their  harps  of  gold: 
"Peace  on  the  earlh,  good  will  to  men. 

From  heaven's  all-gracious  King — " 
The  world  in  solemn  stillness  lay 

To  hear  the  angels  sing. 

These  beautiful  lines  were  written  by  Edmund  Hamilton  Sears, 
an  American  author  and  Unitarian  clergyman.  He  was  inspired.  I 
believe,  by  the  great  story  of  the  birth  of  Jesus  Christ. 

Today  we  are  grateful  to  this  author  for  his  contribution  of  the 
beautiful  carol.  Whenever  we  hear  its  melodious  tune,  our  minds  are 
immediately  focused  on  Christmas.  Christmas,  though  abstract  in  a 
sense,  is  a  day  which  all  people  of  the  Christian  faith  look  upon  as 
being  both  solemn  and  joyful. 

Nearly  two  thousand  years  ago.  some  poor  shepherds,  while 
tending  their  flocks  at  night,  received  the  heavenly  heralds  of  Jesus' 
birth.  The  shepherds  little  realized  that  they  would  be  a  part  of  the 
moving  chronicle  of  the  Saviour  of  mankind. 

As  the  Bible  tells  us,  however,  there  was  one  man  who.  for  his 
selfish  ends,  wanted  to  send  gifts  to  the  infant  King.  He  told  the 
Wise  Men  to  locate  the  Child  and  return  to  him  so  that  he.  too,  could 
share  the  joy  of  His  arrival.  Herod  was  afraid  of  Christ's  becoming 
King  of  Kings.  However,  his  scheming  did  not  work  and  the  Child 
King  grew  up  to  die  for  the  remission  of  our  sins  ,as  was  prophesied  by 
the  sages. 

In  our  modern  world,  we  have  media  of  communication  and  trans- 
portation more  adequate  and  faster  than  that  of  the  days  of  Christ. 
We  are  privileged  to  celebrate  the  natal  day  of  our  great  Saviour  with 
added  splendor  and  appreciation. 

We  look  forward  to  the  celebration  of  Christmas  with  a  prepara- 
tion second  to  no  other.  We  put  aside  our  chores  to  greet  our  friends. 
Our  children  look  forward  to  receiving  gifts  from  jolly  old  Santa 
Claus.  We  eat  and  drink  as  if  we  had  never  eaten  before  and  would 
never  again.  Our  homes  are  decorated  to  the  best  of  our  abilities. 
Yes,  Christmas,  the  birthday  of  our  Saviour,  is  more  to  us  than  our 
own  natal  days. 

Yet,  with  solemnity,  we  give  thanks  unto  God  for  this  glorious 
day.  We  offer  up  a  heartfelt  wish  that  each  Christmas  celebration 
bring  us  nearer  to  that  day  when  there  shall  be  "Peace  on  earth,  good 
will  to  men."  Frank  Prince 


Choosing  A  Career 

When  we  come  to  thai  decisive  stage  in  our  lives  where  we  must 
choose  a  life  career,  or  ever  earn  our  livelihood  by  sources  we  find  al 
random,  we  are  forced  to  cope  with  one  of  life's  greatest  problems.  It 
is  then  that  one  must  be  able  to  examine  his  various  capabilities,  his 
likes  and  dislikes,  his  interests,  and  his  greatest  ambition. 

Choosing  a  career  is  a  problem  to  man).  In  deciding  how  we  will 
earn  our  living,  many  of  us  refuse  to  face  reality.  We  hide  from  our- 
selves those  little  faults  we  have,  which  may  prove  to  be  a  handicap  to 
us  in  our  chosen  career.  We  deceive  ourselves  into  thinking  that  they 
will  disappear  as  time  goes  by.  We  decide  to  earn  our  living  in  a 
certain  way  and  ignore  obstacles  which  may  thwart  our  success.  In 
doing  this  we  tell  ourselves  that  "time  will  cure  all  ills."  and  we  forget 
that  "there  are  exceptions  to  every  rule." 

When  we  think  of  a  career  we  think  of  a  way  in  which  to  earn 
our  livelihood.  To  many  a  career  means  nothing  more  Perhaps  manv 
of  us  would  acquire  a  higher  status  during  the  course  of  our  careers 
if  we  would  be  more  liberal  in  ou  rthinking  when  we  are  choosing  them. 
Success  would  probably  come  to  many  more  people  if.  in  choosing  a 
life's  work,  they  would  think  more  of  what  they  have  to  offer  society, 
rather  than  what  society  has  to  offer  them. 

When  one  attempts  to  begin  preparation  for  a  career  he  should 
ask  himself  the  question:  How  can  I  serve  society  best?  We  should 
remember  that  not  until  society  deigns  us  worthy  do  we  achieve  suc- 
cess. It  might  appear  to  the  individual  that  he  is  responsible  for  his 
success  in  society,  but  this  is  not  entirely  true.  The  degree  to  which 
one  is  able  to  prescribe  his  cure  for  society's  ills  is  also  the  degree  to 
which  he  achieves  status  in  society  and  personal  satisfaction. 

People  who  serve  society  best  discover  their  greatest  talent  some- 
where along  life's  way-  When  they  have  discoverd  what  thv  do  best 
they  incessantly  strive  to  make  every  possible  improvement.  Those  who 
obtain  the  greatest  fame  and  recognition  usually  do  so  by  indefatigably 
striving  toward  the  perfection  of  the  work  which  they  have  dedicated 
their  lives  to.  They  do  not  deceive  themselves  about  their  capabilities 
or  interest  but  face  courageously  the  obstacles  which  confront  them  in 
their  quest  for  success. 

When  one  chooses  a  profession  there  are  many  things  which  he 
should  consider  other  than  his  present  qualifications.  He  should  be 
able  to  anticipate,  if  not  to  a  great  extent,  what  will  probably  be  his 
destiny  in  the  career  which  he  has  chosen.  One  should  ask  himself 
such  questions  as  the  following:  Will  1  become  bored  or  discouraged 
after  having  begun  my  life's  work?  Will  I  be  witling  to  tolerate  the 
annoyances  peculiar  to  my  profession?  Will  I  have  the  courage  to  con- 
tinue in  my  profession  after  undergoing  strain  and  stress? 

The  problem  of  choosing  a  career  is  one  which  can  be  solved 
without  great  difficulty  if  one  is  willing  to  perform  the  necessary  self- 
examination.  One  may  think  that  such  an  examination  is  not 
important,  but  it  becomes  evident  after  one  has  begun  to  make  prepa- 
rations for  a  career. 

Choosing  a  career  can  be  accomplished  without  much  difficulty  if 
every  one  who  plans  to  enter  some  type  of  profession  will  first  become 
entirely  acquainted  with  himself  and  learn  how  he  can  serve  society 
best.  Dorothy  M.  Bess

The  Saracen  Blade.  By  Frank  Yer- 
by.     Dial  Press.  New  York,  1952. 

Frank  Yerby  has  again  produced  a 
best  seller  in  The  Saracen  Blade.  This 
novel  is  the  gallant  story  of  the  thir- 
teenth cenlury  and  of  two  youths. 
Pieiro  di  Donati,  the  son  of  a  black- 
smith,  and  Frederick  die  Second  of 
Hohenslaufen  were  strangely  related 
in  a  way — though  one  was  a  com- 
moner or  "baseborn,"  the  oilier  an  Em- 
porer— ihey  were  horn  on  the  same 
day.  As  (he  mysticism  of  the  day  fol- 
lowed, they  were  linked  by  their  stars. 

When,  a*  hoys,  lliey  met  for  the  first 
time  they  -hared  a  close  bond,  a  bond 
of  spirit,  temperament,  and  intellect 
that  surpassed  a  blood   relationship. 

The  world  that  Pietro  shared  was  a 
time  of  brightness — a  world  of  nation 
against  nation,  of  maidens  of  radiant 
beauty,  with  long  hair  in  nets  of  gold 
thread,  ami  attired  in  silk  and  samite, 
velvet  and  ermine,  "hejeweled  noble- 
men Haunting  the  arrogant  insignia  of 
their  proud  houses."  It  was  Pielro's 
world. 

It  was  during  ibis  thirteenth  century 
world  ol  fanalic  and  heretic,  of  Christ- 
ian and  Saracen,  Sicilian  and  German 
that  Pietro  had  to  make  his  way  Pietro 
alone  was  unfitted  for  this  world  in 
which  he  was  cast. 

Though  in  stature,  he  was  "small  anil 
delicate,  soft-hearted  and  gentle,"  his 
brain  was  keen  as  the  edge  of  a  Sara- 
cen blade..  Frederick,  his  "star  broth- 
er," and  the  Jew  Isaac  "taught  him 
the  wisdom  of  the  East.' 

Iolanthe.  the  daughter  of  a  great 
baron,  loved  Pietro  at  first  sight,  and 
was  hopelessly  separated  from  hint  by 
her  lathers  choice  to  wed  her  lo  Enzio, 
the  son  of  Count  Alessandro.  of  Sinis- 

This  is  a  dynamic,  fast  moving  story 
depicting  the  event  sof  history.  It  is 
the  heart  warming  anil  rending  story 
of  the  defeats  and  triumphs  of  a  serf. 

The  author  has  a  swift,  colorful  style, 
and  is  quite  successful  in  depicting  the 
color  scenes  of  real  life.

voice  do  we  really  hear? 

This  was  the  key  problem  facing 
the  594  delegates  to  the  Associated 
Collegiate  Press  convention  in  New 
York  October  23-25.  The  question  kept 
coming  up  in  a  number  of  differeni 
disguises  throughout   lite  three  days. 

A     part     of    this    question     centered 


whether  a  col-

James   \ 

York  Post,  told  the  delegates  ihat  not 
only  do  they  have  ihe  right  lo  take  a 
stand,  but  that  "it  is  your  duty."  Com- 
paring the  school  administration  with  a 
publisher,  he  said,  "If  an  edilor  finds 
himself  in  basic  disagreement  with  the 
publisher,  be  shouldn't  be  working  for 
him." 

But  John  Tebbel,  vice-chairman  of 
the  New  York  University  journalism 
department,  felt  that  the  analogy  was 
false.  The  administration  could  not 
be  likened  to  a  publisher  of  a  metro- 
politan   newspaper. 

An  informal  poll  taken  at  the  con- 
ference showed  that  more  iban  half 
of  the  editors  had  already  taken  a 
stand  on  the  presidential  election.  A 
lew  others  -aid  they  were  planning  lo 
lake  a  position,  but  would  allow  a 
minority  of  the  staff  to  write  a  dis- 
senting   editorial. 

This  brought  up  the  problem  of  who 
is  entitled  to  speak  (or  the  newspaper. 
The  following  groups  of  persons  were 
suggested: 

The  school  administration  or  the  pub- 
lications adviser.  Reason:  They  are 
the  true  publishers  and  policy  makers. 

The  entire  staff.  Reason:  The  staff 
puts  out  the  paper  and  deserves  a 
voice  in  shaping  policy. 

The  editor.  Reason:  Only  he  can 
decide,  for  he  is  the  one  ultimately 
responsible  lo  the  readers  and  the  ad- 
ministration. Otherwise,  the  staff  could 
shape  policy  contrary  to  the  editor's 
will.

The  Night 

By  James  B.  Slater 

The  night  is  like  an  empty  space. 
It  seems  as  if  everybody's  dead — 
The    birds,   the   bees,   lite    human 

race. 
Nothing  is  heard,  nothing  is  said. 

The    silence    seems    like    a    world 

itself, 
In  a  world  of  night. 
Silence  seems  to  rejoice 
Now  that  day  is  out  of  sight. 

And   the   night  seems   to   have   a 

peaceful  light 
That   can    only    he    found    in   the 

dark. 
Bui      through      the     darkness      it 

shines  bright. 
And  only  the  night  knows  where 

it  parks. 

Then     there     comes     a     beaming 

light, 

The  dawn  of  what  is  day. 

The  night  will  drift  out  of  sight. 
And  the  silence  will  fade  away.

Colby  Analyzes 
Arts  College  Aims 

Faterwlle,  Me.  i/.P.l  —  Colby  Col- 
lege is  well  aware  of  the  national  trend 
of  self-examination  in  conncciion  with 
the  evaluation  and  improvement  of  lib- 
er arts  education  and  is  conducting 
several  projects  of  ils  own  in  line  with 
it. 

According  to  President  Julius  S. 
Bixler,  the  theme  of  this  year's  con- 
vocation, celebrating  the  completion  of 
the  new  Maflower  Hill  campus,  will 
be  an  attempt  to  analyze  ihe  problems 
an  arts  college  faces  and  the  changes 
that  are  vital  for  the  justified  existence 
of  these  colleges. 

Dean  Ernest  Marriricr  also  stressed 
the  importance  of  the  convocation.  He 
said  that  it  will  help  to  show  whai  can 
he  done  in  our  local  situation  to  strike 
the  correal  balance  of  core  courses — 
humanities,     sciences,    and    social    sci- 


Dean  Marriner  said  thai  the  attempt 
lo  improve  faculty-student  relationships 
was  another  important  slcp  in  the  im- 
provement of  the  college.  He  feels 
that  the  present  technique — recogniz- 
ing the  faculty  as  one  governing  body 
and  the  Student  Council  as  another, 
with  the  Joint  Committee  for  a  clearing 
house— Ms  the   right  one. 

The  problem  now  is  bow  student 
opinion  can  reach  the  fundamental 
authority,  be  said,  since  the  faculty 
cannot  act  on  all  matters.  "There  are 
faculty- trustee  dinners;  why  not  stu- 
dent government-trustee  dinners?"  he 
asked. 

Bolh  President  Bixler  and  Dean 
Marriner  cited  the  work  of  the  Aca- 
demic Council,  a  group  made  up  of  the 
heads  of  all  departments.  This  body- 
is  "rethinking  the  liberal  aris  pro- 
gram." and  has  taken  the  work  former- 
ly done  by  the  curriculum  committee 
on    revitalizing  the    Colby   curriculum." 

Another  group  examining  the  prob- 
lem and,  specifically  the  phase  of  more 
effective  leaching,  is  the  local  chapter 
of  the  American  Association  of  Uni- 
versity Professors.  One  of  the  points 
ihis  group  has  made  is  the  need  for 
more  adequate  recognition  of  students 
of  superior  interest  and  ability.  A 
committee  of  the  AAUP  has  suggested 
a  Senior  Fellowship  program.  The 
committee  feels  that  the  program  would 
he  "an  exceedingly  valuable  means  of 
recognizing  exceptional  academic 
achievement  and  ...  a  step  in  the  di- 
rection  of  a  more  general  honors  pro- 
gram." 

According  to  the  plan,  certain 
designated  seniors,  would  he  alowed 
lo  pursue  a  program  of  individual 
studies  under  the  guidance  of  a  mem- 
1  er  of  the  faculty,  in  lieu  of  a  certain 
portion  of  the  cuslomary  semester  re- 
tpiircments  during  their  senior  year. 
Tin-  students,  selected  by  a  faculty  com- 
mittee, would  meet  with  the  faculty 
consultant  as  often  as  the  instructor 
thinks  desirable.  A  written  reporl  at 
the  end  of  the  program  would  be  sub- 
milted  in  duplicate,  and  one  copy  would 
be  deposited   in  the  college  library. 


What  Is  Christmas? 

B\    Timothy  l".  Ryals 

What  does  Christmas  mean  to 
you? 

I  truly  would  like  to  know. 

Is  it  just  another  holiday 

That  all  of  us  adore? 

Is  it  the  day  when  all  mankind 

Should  give  praise  to  Him  above; 

To  how  and  show  sincerity, 

Courtesy  and  love? 

Is  it  the  day  when  children  are 
hopeful  and  gay? 

When  peace  descends,  like  a  dove 
in  flight? 

Or  when  the  stars  shine  brightly 
in  the  night? 

Is   it  a   time   when   happiness 

Should  abide  in  all  the  earth, 

When  people  of  all  nations 

Celebrate    Christ's    birth? 

To  me,  it  is  a  day  to  commem- 
orate. 

One   of  the   greatest   in    the   year. 

To  show  your  love  and  appre- 
ciation 

To  One  Who  always  shares. 

He  is  the  great  lnimanuel 

Who  brought  peace,  goodwill  to 
men. 

And   throughout   eternal  ages 

He  will  in  glory  reign. 


IN  THE  TIGER'S  DEN 


Roaring  Tigers 
Trip  Paine 
Lions,  20-6 

Savannah  Stale  closed  its  1952  grid 
season  with  a  smashing  victory  over 
the  highly  favored  Paine  College  Lions, 
20(5.  The  well-experienced  Lions  lasl 
year  held  the  Tigers  to  a  6-6  tie.  This 
year,  the  Tigers  developed  a  tricky 
offensive  to  suit  the  predominantly 
freshman  players  who  displayed  an 
explosive  brand  of  football  that  her- 
alds the  Martinmen  as  threats  to  the 
SE.AC  powers  next  year. 

Freshman  tailback  Charles  Cozart 
spread  bis  ends  wide  on  the  flanks 
and  passed  the  Paine  Lions  dizzy  for 
three  iiuarters.  Tiger  Cnplain  Willie 
Frank  Johnson  sang  his  swan  song 
in  a  blaze  of  glory.  Johnson  snagged 
a  Court  paw  and  scored  easily  in  the 
second  quarter  and  swept  around  end 
to  score  the  extra  point. 

Five  minutes  later,  L.  J.  McDamels, 
fre-dunan  end  from  Calhoun,  caught 
a  35-yard  pass  from  Cozart  and  romped 
down  the  sidelines  40  yards  to  score. 
The  try  for  the  extra  point  was  wide. 
The  half  ended  with  State  leading  13-0. 

On  the  second  play  of  the  third 
quarter,  Paine  fumbled  and  State  re- 
covered. Three  plays  later,  Willie 
Frank  Johnson  hit  paydirt  on  a  drop 
kick  by  Cozart.  The  remainder  of 
the  game  was  played  on  Paine  territory. 

The  1500  Turkey  Day  fans  were 
brought  to  their  feet  when  Johnson 
intercepted  a  Paine  pass  and  galloped 
fifty  yards  to  score.  However,  an  off- 
side penalty  againsl  State  nullified  the 
score. 

Head  Coach  John  Martin  and  his 
assistants,  \1  Fra/.ier  and  Henry  Bow 
man,  finally  got  the  sputtering  Tiger 
grid  machine  in  gear  and  exploded 
from  the  "T"  to  overrun  Paine  in  a 
spectacular  game  of  power. 

Making  this  possible  were  W.  F. 
Johnson.  John  Johnson,  Charles  Cozart, 
Gardner  Hobbs,  Willie  Ruffin.  James 
Collier.  Marvin  Pittman,  Curtis  King. 
Clinton  Reese,  Earl  Terry,  Leonard 
Sims,  Jefferson  Rogers,  and  James 
Ashe.  Ashe,  "the  Cianl  Killer,"  is 
the  smallest  man  on  the  squad  and 
has  proved  to  be  the  best  defensive 
player. 


Tigers  Defeated 
By  Claflin,  32-0 

The  SSC  Tigers  lost  to  a  victory- 
hungry  Claflin  team,  32-0,  before  a 
Founders  Day-Homecoming  crowd  in 
Orang-hurg.  November  22.  Stale  rolled 
up  200  yards  rushing  and  passing,  but 
failed  lo  develop  a  scoring  punch. 

Slate,  operating  from  the  "T"  with 
Freshman  Q.  B.  Charles  Cozart  in  the 
slot,  attempted  17  passes,  completing 
6  and  having  two  intercepted.  Willie 
Ruffin,  303-lb.  defensive  guard  from 
Claxton.  was  the  ouistanding  player 
lor  Male  as  he  drove  through  the  Claf- 
lin line  like  a  fast  freight  to  knock 
the  ball  carrier  on  liis  heels.  The 
combination  of  Ruffin  and  John  "Big 
Bruiser"  Johnson.  2601b,  guard,  worked 
like  a  precision-made  watch  lor  the 
first  time  this  season.  This  combina- 
tion slopped  the  Claflin  ground  attack 
during    the    entire    fourth    quarter. 

Stale,  however,  was  no  match  for 
the  Claflin  Panthers.  Paul  Bailey  and 
Chester  Smith  formed  the  scoring  team 
for   ihe   Panthers. 

State  Loses,  18-13, 
To  Florida  Normal 

ST.  AUGUSTINE,  Fla.,  November 
15.— The  luckless  Tigers  fell,  18-13, 
before  the  Florida  Normal  Lions  at 
St.  Augustine,  bclore  a  Homecoming 
crowd  of  approximately  1500  fans.  The 
game  was  marked  by  fumbles  and 
severe  penalties  meted  out  against 
State. 

Florida  scored  in  the  second  quarter, 
but  failed  to  make  the  extra  point. 
State,  displaying  power  that  has  been 
lacking  all  season,  marched  sixty  yards 
down  the  field  with  Roscoe  Brower, 
senior  hack,  racing  ten  yards  to  knot 
the  score.  The  half  ended  with  Flor- 
ida  leading,   12-6. 

Florida  scored  in  the  fourth  and 
Stale  bounced  back  to  stay  in  the 
game  with  Charles  Cozart  bulling  his 
way  across  from  the  five.  The  extra 
point  was  on  a  pass  from  Roberts  to 
Weailierspoon.  The  score  stood  at 
18-13  in  favor  of  the  Lions. 

State  racked  up  349  yards  rushing 
and  passing,  and  completed  seven  of 
ihe  nine  passes  attempted,  and  bad  two 
intercepted. 


GRIDIRON   GLEANINGS 


By  Job. 


P.  . 


The  Tigers  played  with  all  their  heart  and  soul  this  season.  Al- 
though they  won  only  one  game  for  the  season,  their  spirit  was  good. 
It  is  not  whether  you  win  or  lose,  but  how  you  play.  The  lack  of  a 
school  band  and  enthusiastic  support  dampened  the  spirit  of  the  team. 
A  band  is  essential  to  the  spirit  of  the  team  as  well  as  that  of  the 
student  body. 

Twenty-two  freshmen,  five  juniors,  and  three  sophomores  remain 
at  SSC  for  the  foundation  of  a  new  Tiger  team.  They  are  full  of 
talent  and  speed.  They  stamp  Stale  as  a  potentially  great  grid  power 
in  1953. 

To  Co-Captains  Willie  Frank  Johnson  and  Roscoe  Brower.  Marvin 
Pittman.  Lester  Davis,  and  Robert  Merritt,  the  best  of  luck  for  a  great 
future.  May  you  give  to  the  world  the  best  that  you  have  as  you  leave 
the  football  field  of  State.  You  have  played  your  best.  May  those 
who  come  after  you  continue  to  carry  the  heritage  of  good  sportsman- 
ship on  and  off  the  athletic  field — the  heritage  that  you  have  handed 
down  to  them.

THE  TIGERS  ROAR 


December,   1952 


We're  For  the  Idiots 

(From  the  Hullabaloo,  Tulane 
University,   La.) 

lACPt.  We're  for  tlic  idiots,  the 
poor,  stumbling,  slupid  idiots  who 
come  lo  college  every  year  unable  to 
take  care  of  themselves.  We  feel  real 
sorry  for  them,  but  we  still  like  'em. 

College  administrations  all  over  the 
country,  and  at  Tulane,  loo,  have  in 
recent  years  developed  a  policy  of  car- 
ing for  these  "idiots."  These  poor 
guys  and  gals  are  unable  to  take  care 
of  themselves,  university  authorities,  be- 
lieve. 

Dormitory  supervisors,  counsellors. 
house  mothers,  and  advisers  are  all  be- 
ing crammed  down  our  throats  to  "help 
us,  guide  us,  and  keep  us  on  the 
straight  and  narrow." 

The  universities,  rightly,  point  lo  the 
early  thirties  and  late  twenties  when 
college  youth  was  wild,  woolly  and  com- 
pletely irresponsible.  .  Then  they  turn 
around,  rightly  again,  and  say  today's 
college  youth  is  more  mature,  more 
responsible,  than  his  counterpart  of 
20  years  ago.  Why.  then,  do  wc  need 
more  supervision? 

We  believe  a  certain  amount  of  su- 
pervision is  necessary,  sure.  .  .  .  College 
students  need  guidance,  we  agree.  They 
has  a  certain  responsibility  to  their 
university  and  to  their  fellow  students. 
And  they  should  he  forced  to  live  up 
to   these  responsibilities. 

But  ihey,  don't  need  to  he  coddled, 
"mothered"  or  "babied"  in  the  process. 
How  are  you  going  to  teach  ihem  to 
stand  on  their  own  feet  if  ynu  con- 
stantly give  them  an  easy  chair? 

We  have  faith  in  these  "idiots."  Their 
less  responsible  .  .  .  parents  came 
through  iheir  college  years  fairly  un- 
scathed. We  honestly  think  we  can 
do  it,  too. 


Scholastic  Goal 

(From    the    Varsity    News,    University 

of  Detroit.) 

I  serve  a  purpose  in  this  school 

On  which  no  man  can  frown — 

I  quietly  sit   in  even    ■  lass 

And   keep  the  average  down.

"Have  You  Got 
What  It  Takes?"

Yes.  I  have  that  friendly  virtue 
It  takes  to  gel  along, 
Because  I   do  console  my   friends 
When  tilings  and  plans  go  wrong. 

I  help  the  stranger  along  the  way. 
it  matters  not  if  he's  dark  or  fair. 
Down  the  lowliest  roads  I'd  go 
If  help  wills  me  there. 

Whatever  work  my  hands  can  do 
Is  thoughtful,  honest,  and  true. 
For  friends  and  strangers,  I'm  on 

the  joh 
Moment    by    moment,    the    whole 

day  through. 

Yes,  I  have  that  certain  something 

That  age  cannot  decay. 

And    I'm   forever   thankful   to   my 

mother 
For  rearing  me  up  this  way.

4-Part  Teaching 
Plan  Set  Up 
At  Yale 

NEW  HAVEN.  Conn.— (I.  P.).— The 
new  Freshman  Class  of  1956  at  Yale 
has  been  limited  to  1,025  men  in  line 
with  the  University's  long-range  policy 
of  reducing  the  overall  enrollment  lo 
a  more  normal  size.  Last  year's  Fresh- 
man Class  numbered  1,169. 

One  of  the  high  points  in  the  teaching 
program  this  year  will  be  a  four-part 
"Plan  of  General  Education  in  Yale 
College"  announced  by  President  A. 
Whitney  Griswold  last  winter  and  sup- 
ported by  a  five  million  dollar  gift 
from  the  Old  Dominion  Foundation. 

Two  of  the  four  parts  concerns  the 
expansion  of  Yale's  Directed  Studies 
program.  Directed  Studies,  inaugu- 
rated in  1946,  aims  "lo  explore  through 
small  classes  and  close  contact  between 
student  and  instructor  the  potentiali- 
ties of  a  prescribed,  integrated,  course 
of  study,  a  common  intellectual  experi- 
ence for  the  first  two  years  of  college." 

A  third  part  of  the  Plan  calls  for 
a  tutorial  system  for  Sophomores  in 
the  10  residential  colleges.  Qualified 
sophomores  may  lake  one  of  their 
courses  in  tutorial  form,  with  a  faculty 
member  who  is  a  Fellow  of  the  col- 
lege. The  Yale  tutorial  system  has 
been  in  effect  for  several  years  for 
juniors  and  seniors  and  now  will  be 
expanded  and  also  extended  to  include 

The  final  part  of  the  plan  calls  for 
an  expansion  of  the  Scholars  of  the 
House  program.  Outstanding  seniors 
who  are  chosen  as  Scholars  are  relieved 
of  all  formal  classroom  work  and  plan 
their  own  schedule  under  the  super- 
vision of  a  faculty  advisor.  The  stu- 
dents thus  have  more  time  and  incen- 
tive for  greater  creative  work  in  their 
chosen  field  of  study.

Notre  Dame  Begins 
Compined  Program 

South  Bend,  Ind.,  Oct.  20— A  new 
new  five-year  combinations  Arls  and 
Letters-Engineering  program,  designed 
to  provide  the  engineering  executive  in 
motlrn  industry  with  a  broad  cultural 
and  social  background  in  addition  to 
technical  ptoficiency,  has  been  inaugu- 
rated this  year  at  the  University  of 
Notre  Dame. 

The  Rev.  James  E.  Norton,  C.S.C., 
vice-president  in  charge  of  academic 
affairs  here,  in  announcing  the  new 
program,  '•aid  that  although  some  al- 
lowance is  made  for  cultural  and  social 
training  in  the  standard  four-year  en- 
gineering course,  the  vast  extent  of 
technical  subjects  that  must  be  covered 
necessarily  limits  the  cultural  aspect 
of  the  student's  training.  The  new 
program,  he  said,  will  provide  qualified 
students  adequate  coverage  in  both 
fields. 

Farther  Norton  announced  that  the 
student  suocessfully  completing  the 
combination  Arts  and  Letter-Engineer- 
ing program  will  receive  two  degrees 
from  Notre  Dame.  The  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Arts  with  a  major  in  Eu- 
gineering-Srience  will  be  warded  at  the 
end  of  the  fourth  year,  and  the  degree 
of  Baehlor  of  Science  in  the  profession- 
al engineering  course  pursued  will  be 
given  at  the  completion  of  the  fifth 
year. 

In  the  fir,l  two  years  of  the  new 
combination  program,  according  to  Fa- 
ther Norton,  the  student  will  follow  the 
regular  Arts  and  Letters  curriculum 
except  for  certain  preciscrihed  courses 
in  Mathematics  and  science.  In  the 
third  and  fourth  years,  the  program 
becomes  progressively  more  technical 
and  in  the  fifth  year  it  is  completely 
technical. 

Father  Norton  said  that  students  en- 
tering ibis  program  who  decide  on 
Architecture  as  their  professional  En- 
gineering field  receive  the  Arts  degree 
at  the  end  of  the  fourth  year  like  other 
engineering  students,  but,  in  general, 
two  addiiional  years  are  required  be- 
fore the  program  for  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Architecture  is  completed.

i/Work  On  New  Men's  Dormitory  Begun 

On  Wednesday,  July  15,  1953,  work  was  started  on  the  new  half- 
million  dollar  men's  dormitory  at  Savannah  State  College.  The 
Byck-Worrell  Construction  Company  of  Savannah  who  will  build 
the  dormitory,  started  clearing  away  the  trees  on  the  dormitory  site 
in  preparation  for  beginning  construction  of  the  new  edifice. 

[^Architects  for  the  ultra-modern  structure  are  Cletus  W.  and 
William  P.  Bergen,  The  new  building  is  being  constructed  adjacent 
to  Hill  Hall— the  present  men's  dormitory.  It  will  accommodate  220 
students. 


^Narcotics  Education  Workshop  Held 
During  First  Summer  Session 

By  Johnnie  Paul  Jones 

A  new  and  different  workshop  was  conducted  at  Savannah  State 
College  during  the  first  summer  session— the  Narcotics  Education 
Workshop.  It  was  designed  to  acquaint  the  participants  with  the 
relationshop  of  narcotics  to  the  crime  rate  in  America  and  the  rest 
of  the  world. 

The  workshop,  conducted  by  Professor  A.  Van  Frazier,  consisted 
of  lectures,  field  trips,  audio-visual  aids,  demonstrations,  classroom 
experiments  and  discussions. 

The  chief  aim  of  the  work- 
shop was  to  teach  the  prevention 
of  the  use  of  narcotics  and  to 
conserve  human  resources.  One 
interesting  experiment  per- 
formed by  the  group  was  the 
distillation  of  beer  and  its  ef- 
fects on  the  mind  and  body. 

Captain  C.  F.  Weimer,  Direc- 
tor of  the  Savannah  Police  De- 
partment's Traffic  Bureau,  was 
one  of  the  guest  lecturers  for 
the  workshop.  He  lectured  on 
the  effects  of  alcohol  on  the 
traffic  and  accident  rate  in  Sa- 
vannah, and  demonstrated  the 
use  of  the  Intoximeter  in  police 
work.  A  scientific  instrument 
carried  In  all  Savannah  police 
cars,  the  Intoximeter  is  used  to 
check  the  alcoholic  content  of 
a   motorist's   breath. 

The  members  of  the  workshop 
also  conducted  a  round-table 
discussion  in  Meldrim  Auditor- 


Dr.  William  K.  Payne,  Presi- 
dent of  the  College,  in  comment- 
ing on  the  work,  stated  that  he 
was  pleased  that  work  was  un- 
derway for  the  construction  of 
the  new  building  because  it  will 
meet  one  of  the  college's  great- 
est needs — that  of  housing.  Doc- 
tor Payne  pointed  out  that  the 
new  dormitory  will  place  the  col- 
lege in  a  position  for  a  unit  of 
the  Reserve  Officers  Training 
Corps. 

The  new  building  will  be  a 
three-story  edifice  constructed 
on  an  L-shaped  plan,  with  re- 
inforced concrete  floors,  ceilings 
and  roof  throughout.  The  ex- 
terior walls  will  be  of  concrete 
block,  faced  with  a  red  range 
face  brick  In  the  full  range  of 
colors  with  continuous  fenestra- 
tion. The  continuous  windows 
on  each  floor  will  be  aluminum 
with  crystal  plate  glass  and  all 
ventilating  sections  will  be 
equipped  with  aluminum  screens. 
The  roof  of  the  building  will  be 
a  20  year  built-up  tar  and  felt 
roof,  and  the  whole  structure  will 
be  completely  fire-proof. 

In  the  building  there  will  be 
105  dormitory  rooms,  each  ac- 
commodating two  students.  The 
interior  of  these  rooms  will  be  of 
cement  plaster  at  side  walls  and 
ceilings  and  the  entire  area, 
both,  both  in  sleeping  rooms  and 
corridors,  will  be  finished  with 
asphalt  floor  tile.  In  each  of  the 
sleeping  rooms  there  will  be  com- 
modious closet  for  each  student, 
together  with  built-in  chest  of 
drawers,  also  arranged  to  pro- 
duce    maximum     comfort     and 


Irene  Mikell,  Statesboro;  Mrs. 
Idonia  Darby,  Savannah;  Miss 
Alfreda  Adams,  Savannah  and 
Miss  Catherine  Renfro,  Milledge- 
vllle. 

Professor  Frazier,  Director  of 
the  workshop,  was  well  quali- 
fied for  his  work,  having  re- 
ceived Narcotics  Education  train- 
ing at  Paul  Quinn  College,  Waco, 
Texas,  and  Northwestern  Univer- 
sity. He  has  also  conducted  Nar- 
cotics workshops  throughout  the 
State  of  Tennessee. 


A  POEM 

By   Georgia  E.  Gordon 

Measure  not  worth  with  that  of 
birth. 

For  one  from  lowly  birth  to  fame 
may  rise. 

And  a  tattered  lad  from  an  hum- 
ble heart 

May  be  a  hero  brave  and  wise, 


ium  at  one  of  the  regular 
Wednesday  assemblies.  The  dis- 
cussion covered  the  effects  of 
alcohol  upon  the  various  systems 
of  the  body.  Among  the  specific 
things  discussed  were  the  rela- 
tionship of  alcohol  upon  history 
and  literature,  wine  and  the 
Bible,  methods  of  presenting 
narcotics  information  to  stu- 
dents of  all  grade  levels  and 
ways  of  integrating  it  with  other 
subject  matter. 

Miss  Fairy  Peyton  of  Memphis, 
Tennessee,  served  as  chairman  of 
the  group.  She  is  a  teacher  in 
the  city  schools  of  Memphis  and 
plans  to  conduct  a  similar  work- 
shop for  teachers  there  this  fall. 
Serving  on  the  round-table  dis- 
cussion with  Miss  Peyton  were 
Miss  Mary  M.  Hill,  Manchester; 
Mrs.  Dytha  Dotson,  Warrenton; 

Timothy  Ryals,  Townsend;  Miss  (/Assistant  Librarian 
Marie  Barnwell,  Savannah;  Miss     Receives  M.   A.   Degree 

By  Margaret  Brown  Lewis 

"My  year  of  study  at  Syracuse 
University  not  only  promoted 
scholastic  growth  but  strength- 
ened my  knowledge  in  the  area 
of  human  relations.  My  every- 
day experiences  with  students 
from  all  parts  of  the  world  was 
an  education  within  itself." 

This  statement  was  made  by 
Miss  Althea  W.  Williams,  Assist- 
ant Librarian  at  Savannah  State 
College,  who  received  her  Master 
of  Science  in  Library  Science  on 


storage  space  for  each  occupant. 
Particular  attention  has  been 
paid  to  the  lighting  of  the  build- 
ing to  safeguard  the  students' 
eyes. 

All  corridors  throughout  the 
building  as  well  as  the  stair 
towers  will  have  acoustical  ceil- 
ings to  cut  down  noise  and  to 
promote  quiet  which  is  so  es- 
sential in  buildings  of  this  kind. 

In  each  wing  on  each  floor 
will  be  located  lavatory  and 
toilets  together  with  shower 
baths  to  accommodate  the  resi- 
dents of  that  floor.  Storage 
rooms  for  the  students'  trunks 
and  luggage  will  also  be  pro- 
vided on  each  floor.  Access  to 
each  floor  is  provided  by  means 
of  three  reinforced  concrete 
steps,  each  tower  being  enclosed 
with  automatically  closing  fire 
doors  and  thus  providing  a  safe 
means  of  exit  under  all  condi- 
tions to  the  occupants  of  the 
building.  Particular  attention 
has  been  paid  not  only  carry- 
ing out  all  of  the  requirements 
of  the  Georgia  Safety  Code,  but 
in  many  instances  of  exceeding 
them  in  the  interest  of  safety. 

On  the  first  floor  of  the  build- 
ing will  be  located  an  apartment 
to  take  care  of  the  dormitory 
superintendent  or  faculty  mem- 
ber in  charge  of  the  dormitories. 
Adjacent  to  these  quarters  will 
be  located  a  large  lounge  in 
which  the  students  may  find  re- 
laxation and  in  which  social 
gatherings  may  be  held.  In  con- 
junction with  the  lounge  and 
residence  quarters  there  will  be 
a  kitchen  to  provide  such  food 
as  may  be  necessary  for  social 
gatherings. 

The  building  will  be  heated  by 
a  forced  hot  water  system,  re- 
ceiving its  steam  supply  from  the 
central  heating  system  on  the 
campus.  Each  room  and  corri- 
dor will  be  heated  by  convertors 
and  the  entire  heating  system 
will  produce  adequate  heat  with 
proper  moisture  control  and 
adequate  zone  control  to  produce 
different  temperatures  as  re- 
quired in  separate  sections  of  the 
building. 


June  1,   1953,  at  Syracuse  Uni- 
versity in  Syracuse,  New  York. 

Miss  Williams  found  the  work 
at  Syracuse  very  challenging. 
However,  she  met  this  challenge 
and  was  rewarded  with  her  de- 
gree. 

Miss  Williams  stated  that  al- 
though Syracuse  is  a  private 
Institution,  it  is  inter-denomina- 
tional, and  there  are  students 
from  Jamaica,  Germany,  France, 
India,  Thailand  and  other  coun- 
tries found  there.  She  felt  that 
it  was  very  advantageous  to 
have  been  associated  with  these

The  Rosenberg  Case 
Goes  Down  In  History 

The  fury  over  the  Julius  and  Ethel  Rosenberg  spy  case  came  to 
a  close  June  18,  1953. 

In  April.  1951,  five  Americans  were  convicted  of  conspiracy  to 
commit  espionage  against  the  United  States.  The  five  were  the 
Rosenbergs,  Ethel's  brother,  David  Greenglass  and  Harry  Gold. 

Offers  from  the  United  States  Government  to  spare  their  lives 
in  return  for  a  confession  of  spying  was  turned  own  by  them.  The 
couple  maintained  their  innocence  to  the  end,  declaring  their 
sentence  was  a  cruel  and  uncivilized  action  administered  by  Auto- 
cracy under  Arbitrary  power.  They  were,  they  said,  victims  of 
the  worst  frameup  in  the  history  of  our  country,  but  they  would 
not  yield  their  rights  as  free  Americans. 

They  were  the  first  spies  executed  by  order  of  a  United  States 
civil  court.  They  were  electrocuted  in  Sing  Sing  prison's  electric 
chair. 

Emanuel  H.  Bloch,  attorney  for  the  Rosenbergs,  fought  to  the 
last  for  a  stay-of-execution.  Even  the  parents  and  two  children 
of  the  doomed  couple  pleaded  for  clemency,  but  to  no  avail.  More 
than  ten-thousand  persons  participated  in  a  "Save  the  Rosenbergs" 
demonstration  before  the  White  House. 

Even  after  many  pleas  from  the  immediate  family  and  friends. 
Federal  Judge  Irving  Kaufman  refused  clemency  and  stated  he  had 
searched  his  conscience  but  found  no  reason  for  mercy.  Were  he 
to  show  mercy  he  would  violate  the  sacred  trust  placed  in  his 
hands  by  the  people,  he  declared. 

A  preliminary  to  their  execution  reminds  me  of  the  story  of 
Pilate,  the  Chief  Priests,  Scribes,  and  the  people  before  the  cruci- 
fixion of  Christ  iSt,  Luke  23:1-30;  St.  John  18:29-39;  19:5-12),  Christ 
was  a  Jew.  so  were  Julius  and  Ethel. 

Supreme  Court  Justice  William  O.  Douglas  granted  a  stay-of- 
execution  which  did  not  last  long.  Justice  Douglas  played  the 
role  of  Pilate  in  helping  two  people  who  were  accused  of  betraying 
their  own  country  and  divulging  the  nation's  most  closely  guarded 
secret. 

The  government  has  closed  its  book,  and  history  will  record 
I  the  Rosenberg  case  as  an  example  of  two  who  committed  treason 
i  against  freedom.

THE  TIGER'S  HOAH 


August.  1953 


The  Korean  Conflict 

One  of  the  biggest  controversies  of  our  times  is  the  Korean 
War.  Few  people  in  the  world  understand  fully  the  issues  or  prob- 
lems we  face  in  the  Far  East,  of  which  the  Korean  War  is  one. 

The  Korean  conflict  began  shortly  after  the  close  of  World  War 
II  when  North  Korean  Communists  attacked  South  Korea.  A  line 
known  as  the  38th  parallel  which  was  to  divide  the  North  from  the 
South  was  drawn. 

America  and  fifteen  other  United  Nations  countries  intervened 
to  stop  the  Communist  aggression.  Even  though  Russia  was  not 
directly  participating  in  the  war,  it  was  believed  by  the  United 
Nations  that  she  was  contributing  men  and  materials  to  the  Com- 
munist cause. 

America  practices  the  democratic  form  of  government  and  Rus- 
sia practices  the  communistic  form.  As  a  result  two  different  views 
grew  in  he  South  Koreans'  minds.  When  a  truce  was  proposed  by 
the  United  Nations,  the  South  Koreans,  under  the  leadership  of 
Synghman  Rhee,  bitterly  opposed  the  truce  because  it  would  divide 
South  Korea.    Rhee  wants  a  unified  Korea. 

Now  that  an  armistice  has  been  signed,  there  is  still  doubt 
in  the  minds  of  many  throughout  the  world  that  it  will  last.  There 
is  widespread  belief  that  this  agreement  to  end  the  shooting  war 
in  favor  of  a  political  one  is  only  a  stalemate  until  such  time  as 
the  Communists  deem  it  favorable  to  resume  the  shooting  war. 

The  eventual  outcome  will  not  be  known  for  some  time  to 
come.  The  problem  is  whether  South  Korea  will  continue  the  fight 
for  a  unified  Korea  or  accept  the  UN  truce.

The  Mosquitos 


job  of  calling  the  roll  or  anything  else  for  that  matter.     He  slaps 
his  arms,  his  check,  the  back  of  his  head,  table  and  the  wall. 

Every  student  in  the  classroom  is  slapping  here,  slapping  there 
and  slapping  everywhere.  Slapping  what?  Why  do  you  ask? 
Mosquitoes,  of  course. 

Each  morning  as  students  enter  the  classroom  mosquitoes  rise 
up  from  their  beds  and  make  their  attack.  They  greet  us  with 
nice  juicy  bites.  To  be  sure,  they  work  with  the  regularity  and 
efficiency  of  an  army. 

One  day  a  photographer  came  in  to  take  some  pictures  of  our 
class.  He  requested  that  everyone  sit  still  for  a  moment.  Impossible, 
with  such  troublesome  pests  as  these  mosquitoes  around.  He  had 
to  take  his  pictures  between  slips. 

Students  frequently  doze  in  the  classroom,  presumably  as  a 
result  of  having  lost  the  battle  with  these  persistent  little  pests  in 
the  classroom  and  in  the  dormitory  the  night  before.  In  short. 
they  won't  let  you  sleep  during  the  night. 

I  repeat,  "Are  teachers  and  students  to  tolerate  such  pests  con- 
tinually expecting  relief  only  when  summer  school  ends?" 

We  hope  some  remedial  steps  will  take  place  presently.  If  not, 
we'll  look  forward  to  Vacation  Day.  August  15.  1953.

The  Administration 
Merits  A  Big  Hand 

Dr.  W.  K.  Payne  has  done  a  magnificent  job  in  bringing  about 
some  obviously  needed  improvements  in  and  around  Savannah  State 
College.    Rise  and  give  him  a  hand. 

Have  you  ever  done  a  job  well  and  nobody  seemed  appreciative? 
Did  everybody  take  it  for  granted  in  a  rather  indifferent  manner? 

iWell,  this  is  the  type  of  situation  we  find  here  at  Savannah 
State  College.  Anyone  who  has  kept  on  the  alert  knows  that  gen- 
eral conditions  are  greatly  improved  when  compared  to  general 
conditions  four  or  five  years  ago.  When  I  say  general  conditions 
are  improved,  that  is  putting  it  mild.    All  aspects  are  better. 

>JP#achers  are  improved,  that  is,  their  qualifications  are  marked- 
ly superior.  It  should  be  noted  that  the  majority  of  them  are 
teaching  in  their  fields  at  present.  They  did  not  conform  to  this 
practice  a  few  years  ago. 

The  students,  although  the  masses  could  appear  more  cultured 
and  refined,  have  certainly  come  a  long  way  otherwise,  flmey  seem 
to  realize  that  in  order  to  succeed,  one  must  study  and  prepare 
himself.  They  have  come  to  know  that  Savannah  State  College  is 
not  a  winter  or  summer  resort.  Many  of  them  have  ceased  looking 
for  easy  teachers  and  "sop"  courses. 

One  can  hardly  help  noticing  the  repairs  and  renovations  of  the 
various  buildings  on  the  campus.  A  few  years  ago  girls  were  simply 
ashamed  to  entertain  their  guests  in  the  dormitory,  because  of 
dilapidated  furniture  and  the  general  physical  appearance  of  the 
room.  Camilla  Hubert  Hail  is  quite  livable  now.  The  hall  floors 
are  tiled,  the  reception  room  has  been  completely  renovated  with 
furniture  settings  which  will  compare  favorably  with  that  of  any 
school.    My!  What  a  pleasant  change. 

During  this  same  period  no  place  was  provided  in  the  dormitory 
for  students  to  wash,  iron  or  do  hair.  A  student  would  be  campus- 
bound  if  she  were  reported  doing  any  of  these  chores  in  the  dormi- 
tory. A  girl  had  to  walk  all  the  way  to  the  laundry  to  press  a 
handkerchief.  What  about  now?  There  is  a  spacious  room  in  the 
dormitory  equipped  with  ironing  boards  and  wooden  hangers  for 
students'  use.     A  special  room  is  set  aside  as  a  beauty  parlor. 

\Tne  meals  in  the  dining  hall  are  decidedly  improved.  One  can 
hardly  do  justice  with  the  comparison.  Students  now  have  edible 
food  and  balanced  meals.  vBuring  "Reconstruction"  days,  meals 
were  neither  edible  nor  balanced  Peanut  butter,  syrup  and  crackers 
were  a  favorite  menu. 

vr3f.  W.  K.  Payne  and  his  staff  have  really  ushered  in  a  new 
epoch,  and  should  be  commended  for  their  efforts.  Let  us  give 
credit  where  it  is  due.  These  are  just  a  few  of  the  many  changes 
that  have  come  about  under  this  present  administration.  With  un- 
tiring cooperation  from  supporters,  SSC  will  be  our  Utopia.

Faculty  Profile 


Vhy  can't  something  be  done  about  these  pests?— the  mos- 
quitoes. Simple  items  such  as  spray  gun,  insecticide  and  a  little 
time  will  do  the  job.    And  why  not  spray  the  marsh? 

Who  is  to  blame  for  their  large  numbers  here  at  the  College? 
Are  teachers  and  students  to  continue  toleration  of  such  pests 
in  such  large  multitudes?  Are  they  to  expect  relief  only  when 
summer  school  ends? 

Slap,  slap,  slap,  "Listen  to  the  roll  call,"  says  the  Instructor, 
but  the  slap,  slap  continues  about  the  classroom  as  the  roll  is 
called.     The  Instructor,  himself,  is  too  busy  slapping  to  do  a  good

The  Arts  and 
Crafts  Workshop 

By  Mary  Patrick 

The  Arts  and  Crafts  Workshop 
at  Savannah  State  College  was 
designed  to  meet  the  needs  of 
teachers  in  schools  throughout 
the  state.  The  workshop  pro- 
vided the  opportunity  for  gain- 
ing insight  into  the  philosophies, 
techniques,  and  media  of  art 
education  and  ways  of  adapting 
these  to  the  particular  problems 
and  enviroment  of  the  elemen- 
tary and  secondary  schools. 

Experiences  were  obtained  in 
the  following:  creative  drawing, 
painting,  clay  modeling,  paper 
mache  construction  and  the 
crafts.  Lessons  learned  in  the 
workshop  will  be  very  helpful  to 
students  throughout  the  state 
this  fall. 

Mr.  Philip  J.  Hampton,  of  the 
Savannah  State  College  faculty. 
was  director  of  the  workshop.  He 
is  a  graduate  of  Kansas  City  Art

Should  An  Athlete  Be  Paid? 

"No"    Head   Coach     "Yes"  Athletic 
John  Martin  Director  T.  Wright 


By  Lottie  Burnett 

1/fCn  interview  with  SSC's  Head 
Coach,  John  "Big  John"  Martin 
on  "Whether  an  athlete  should 
be  paid  to  participate  in  extra- 
curricular activities,"  brought  a 
negative  answer  from  the  like- 
able head  mentor.  However,  he 
stated  that  athletes  should  be 
subsidized. 

Coach  Martin  immediately  re- 
plied. "No,  athletes  should  not 
be  paid  to  play.  A  good  athlete 
plays  for  the  sake  of  the  game, 
and  for  improving  his  skill  rather 
than  for  money." 

Furthermore,  he  pointed  out 
that  In  a  case  where  an  indi- 
vidual is  not  financially  able  to 
attend  school,  he  should  be  given 
a  subsidy.  The  various  ways  of 
subsidizing  are  <  1  >  awarding  cash 
scholarships;  (2)  granting  work 
and  work-aid  and  (3)  having 
organizations  that  are  interested 
in  the  individual  as  an  athlete 
pay  his  expenses. 

Coach  Martin  also  said,  "If 
we  are  going  to  subsidize,  it 
should  be  on  an  involuntary 
basis.  By  that  I  mean  it  should 
be  given  according  to  the  need 
of  the  individual  and  his  ability 
to  achieve.  The  only  way  the 
college  can  survive  athletically 
in  its  competition  with  other 
colleges  and  conferences  is  to 
subsidize." 

In  conclusion  he  pointed  out 
that  a  small  college  suffers  from 
subsidization  while  the  large  col- 
lege profits.  "If  we  are  going  to 
have  a  worthwhile  team  in  foot- 
ball, basketball,  track  and  other- 
wise, we  must  subsidize.  If  we 
can't  afford  to  give  athletic 
scholarships,  we  should  have  our 
extra-curricular  activities  on  an 
intramural  basis." 

Ford  Fellow  Tells 
How  He  Received 
Grant 

By  J.  W,  H.  Thomas 

^/fn  December,  1951,  Ford  Fel- 
lowships were  made  available  to 
all  colleges  in  the  United  States. 
The  purpose  of  these  grants  was 
to  improve  faculty  members  in 
the  Liberal  Arts  area.  Of  the 
number  recommended  by  the 
President  of  Savannah  State 
College.  I  was  elected,"  said  Mr. 
J.  B.  Clemmons,  Chairman  of  the 
Department  of  Mathematics  at 
Savannah  State  College. 

In  an  interview,  Mr.  Clem- 
mons explained  what  he  thinks 
accounted  for  his  fellowship 
grant  in  seven  detailed  steps. 

The  first  step  was  a  confer- 
ence with  President  W.  K.  Payne, 
who  emphasized  the  importance 
of  improving  the  caliber  of  In- 
struction throughout  the  entire 
college.  From  the  conference 
with  President  Payne,  Mr.  Clem- 
mons stated  that  he  recognized 
that  this  would  make  a  real  con- 
tribution to  the  training  of  the 
youth  of  the  State  of  Georgia. 

In  the  second  step,  he  was  re- 
quired to  write  an  intellectual 
autobiography  which  extended 
from  the  time  he  entered  col- 
lege until  his  present  status.  He 
indicated  that  the  theme  of  the 
autobiography  presented  was 
that  he  always  tried  to  prepare 
himself  well  for  whatever  posi- 
tion he  held. 

The  third  step  was  the  start- 
ing of  the  plan  and  purpose  of 
what  he  expected  to  do  if  grant- 
ed a  fellowship. 

"As  soon  as  I  read  the  Strayer 
Report  which  affected  changes 
in  all  institutions  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Georgia.  I  recognized 
that  the  mathematics  depart- 
ment was  not  equipped  to  do 
the  new  functions  assigned  It.   I

>  'jAn  athlete  should  be  paid 
enough  to  maintain  himself  in 
school,  because  all  athletes  repre- 
senting a  school  are  students  of 
that  school  and  are  expected  to 
meet  all  student  requirements." 
This  remark  voiced  the  opinion 
of  Theodore  A.  (Ted)  Wright, 
Associate  Professor  of  Physical 
Education  at  Savannah  State 
College,  when  asked  whether  or 
not  an  athlete  should  be  paid. 
The  interview  took  place  in  Will- 
cox  Gymnasium  on  June  25, 
1953. 

When  asked  how  much  should 
an  athlete  be  paid.  Coach  Wright 
replied,  "No  more  than  any  other 
student  who  is  contributing 
equally  to  the  same  cause."  He 
stated  that  since  the  financial 
status  of  students  vary  accord- 
ing to  the  parental  income  and 
other  economic  factors,  all  stu- 
dents do  not  need  the  same  aid. 
"If  President  Eisenhower's  son 
were  an  athlete,  representing  an 
Institution,  he  would  not  need  as 
much  maintenance  as  other  stu- 
dents," he  said. 

Coach  Wright  went  on  to 
enumerate  factors  which  influ- 
ence the  lives  of  athletes:  "First 
of  all,  an  athlete  cannot  be 
helped  unless  he  comes  through 
the  work-aid  committee,"  he 
said.  He  further  stated  that 
they  are  students  first,  then  ath- 
letes and  they  must  have  at 
least  a  "C"  over-all  average  in 
order  to  be  eligible  to  receive 
work-aid.  He  pointed  out  that 
the  athlete  must  spend  his  time 
practicing  and  conditioning  him- 
self in  order  to  make  the  team. 
At  the  same  time,  he  has  to  make 
his  grades  in  order  to  stay  In 
school. 

Coach  Wright  stated  that  stu- 
dents who  are  members  of  the 
band,  choir,  or  other  organiza- 
tions have  six  years  to  complete 
their  college  work  while  ahtletes 
have  only  four  years  to  represent 
an  institution.  "There  are  cer- 
tain rules  and  regulations  for 
conferences  and  rating  commit- 
tees of  schools  that  have  to  be 
considered.  One  requires  the 
athlete  to  maintain  a  passing 
average  in  two-thirds  of  his 
work.  No  other  work-aid  speci- 
fies such  requirements.  Another 
regulation  governing  athletes 
states  that  once  he  has  signed 
at  a  school  and  finds  it  neces- 
sary to  change  schools,  he  is  not 
eligible  to  compete  in  athletics 
at  any  other  school  until  he  has 
remained  there  for  at  least  a 
year.  When  he  signs  up  at  a 
school,  he  has  sold  what  he  has 
to  the  school." 

Coach  Wright  referred  to  an 
important  factor  to  be  consid- 
ered in  deciding  whether  or  not 
an  athlete  should  be  paid.  He 
said,  "Athletes  are  risking  phys- 
ical injuries  more  than  any  other 
student.  If  they  are  injured,  it 
lessens  their  ability  to  carry  on 
their  other  activities."  He  point- 
ed out  that  students  who  play 
in  the  band,  sing  in  the  choir 
or  have  other  types  of  work-aid 
jobs,  are  not  exposed  to  danger. 

He  concluded  by  stating  that 
schools  take  in  revenue  from 
athletic  performances.  When 
asked,  "What  does  an  athlete  get 
out  of  it?"  He  further  empha- 
sized that  the  amount  paid  to 
athletes  should  vary  according 
to  individual  needs, 
further  expressed  my  desire,  as 
Chairman  of  the  Department  of 
Mathematics,  to  meet  this  chal- 
lenge in  both  personnel  and 
equipment,"  Mr.  Clemmons 
stated. 

The  fourth  step  was  a  request 
that  he  contact  prominent  people 
with  whom  he  had  worked,  who 


The  Elementary  Workshop

Secondary  Education 
Workshop  Makes  The 
Curriculum  Dynamic 

By  Mrs.  H.  E.  Clark 

The  principals  and  In-service 
teachers  who  attended  the  Sec- 
ondary Workshop  at  Savannah 
State  College  composed  the  most 
active  and  interesting  group  on 
the  campus.  All  members  en- 
gaged in  teaching  tackled  vari- 
ous problems  related  to  the  com- 
munity in  which  they  live  and 
teach. 

The  surveys,  discussions,  con- 
ferences and  skillful  guidance  on 
the  part  of  Dr.  C.  L.  Kiah,  Chair- 
man of  the  Education  Depart- 
ment and  Workshop  Director, 
taught  the  participants  how  to 
make  the  Curriculum  in  the 
Secondary  School  Dynamic. 

The  Workshop  members 
learned  to  differenciate  between 
a  "do"  democracy  and  a  "talk" 
democracy;  they  also  learned  to 
develop  a  "know  how"  educa- 
tional system  rather  than  the 
old  traditional  "know  about"  sys- 
tem. 

The  16  members  of  the  work- 
shop were  divided  into  groups 
according  to  their  Interest. 
Groups  organized  were  Business 
Education,  Industrial  Education. 
Language  Arts,  General  Science 
and  Social  Science.  Problems 
were  discussed  and  research  work 
done  on  the  problems  by  mem- 
bers of  the  groups.  Experts  in 
the  field  were  called  in  for  con- 
sultation. The  groups  then  out- 
lined their  topic  and  discussed 
the  cause,  effect  and  possible  so- 
lution of  the  problems. 

Books  on  curriculum  planning 
in  the  Secondary  Schools,  special 
bulletins,  educational  reports, 
audio-visual  aid  films,  records 
and  field  trips  were  used  by  the 
groups  to  collect  information  for

he  said. 

A  leave  of  absence  had  to  be 
obtained  by  recommendation. 
This  was  granted  by  the  Board 
of  Regents  of  the  University  Sys- 
tem Of  Georgia,  Mr.  Clemmons 
pointed  out. 

"The  next  task  was  to  use  well 
the  $5,200  granted  to  study 
toward  my  Ph.  D.  degree  in  pure 
mathematics.  After  a  confer- 
ence with  the  chairman  of  the 
department  of  mathematics  at 
the  University  of  Southern  Cali- 
fornia. I  was  able  to  select  the 
proper  subjects  to  meet  partial 
requirements  for  the  Ph.  D.  de- 
gree," he  remarked. 

After  about  three  weeks  he 
was  recommended  by  one  of  the 
members  of  the  department  as 
official  tutor  of  mathematics  for 
the  Athletic  Department,  he 
stated.  Mr.  Clemmons  cited  this 
as  the  most  cherished  experience 
of  his  career.  After  one  semes- 
ter's work,  he  had  gained  the 
confidence  needed  to  accept  the 
challenge  to  continue  his  study 
for  another  year,  he  added.  Be- 
cause of  his  outstanding  per- 
formance in  mathematical  logic, 
he  feels  that  his  research  proj- 
ect will  be  done  in  the  Califor- 
nia area. 

Mr.  Clemmons  hopes  to  com- 
plete all  requirements  for  the 
desired  degree  by  June,  1954. 
When  asked  how  his  advanced 
study  would  affect  the  mathe- 
matics program  at  Savannah 
State  College,  he  replied.  "I  feel 
that  I  am  better  able  to  map 
the  course  which  the  college 
shall  take,  where  the  area  of 
mathematics  is  concerned.  Fur- 
ther, I  am  much  more  sensitive 
to  the  value  of  a  department  to 
operated  in  a  systematic  unit  to 
meet  the  functions  and  needs  of 
the  college." 

In  several  instances  Mr.  Clem- 
mons gave  credit  to  the  Presi- 
dent of  Savannah  State  College 
for  his  recommendations  and 
guidance  throughout  this  partic- 
ular academic  adventure.

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR

August.   19.1.1 


DR.  W.  K.  PAYNE 


The  President 
Speaks 

It  is  assumed  that  people  who 
attend  college  are  still  able  to 
grow  and  to  profit  from  instruc- 
tion. One  does  not  expect  to 
find  individuals  who  are  so  set 
in  their  ways  of  living  and  act- 
ing that  improvement  cannot  be 
made. 

In  many  respects  this  general 
desire  to  learn  and  to  improve 
is  the  basis  for  unlimited  growth 
personality  and  vision.  Stand- 
ards of  behavior  in  various 
phases  of  living  may  be  ex- 
amined and  analyzed.  Almost 
everyone  possesses  standards 
which  he  has  developed  through 
imagination  or  through  con- 
scious effort.  Attending  college 
usually  provides  the  time  and 
the  atmosphere  needed  to  ex- 
amine one's  behavior.  There  are 
opportunities  to  see  in  others 
some  of  the  things  which  are 
desirable,  and  likewise,  oppor- 
tunities to  see  some  things  are 
very  repulsive. 

Attending  college  should  mean 
higher  standards  in  many  areas 
of  living.  One  should  expect  to 
do  better  those  things  which  he 
already  knows.  Even  habits,  like 
walking  and  speaking,  should  be 
lifted  to  a  new  level.  Agreement 
and  disagreement  on  issues 
should  be  expressed  on  higher 
planes.  In  addition  to  the  ele- 
vation of  what  one  possesses  al- 
ready, systematic  effort  should 
be  made  to  acquire  new  habits, 
attitudes,  and  ways  of  expressing 
one's  self. 

There  is  also  some  concern  toX 
day  about  the  quality  of  per- 
formance which  college  students 
give.  It  is  unfortunate  that  the 
degree  of  completeness  of  an 
activity  often  results  in  disap-l 
pointment  to  those  who  believe 
that  education  is  important  to 
happy  living.  Many  activities 
show  incompleteness  and  lack  of 
care.  Some  want  to  rationalize 
the  situation  by  saying  that  there 
was  not  sufficient  time  to  do  a 
"turn  key"  job.  Habits  of  ex- 
cusing one's  self  so  readily  when 
carelessness  shows  itself  are 
learned  just  as  facts  and  infor- 
mation are  acquired.  It  is  time 
for  college  students  to  make 
thoroughness  and  completeness 
a  part  of  all  of  their  living. 

In  an  age  where  the  welfare 
of  many  depends  upon  the 
thoroughness  of  each  partici- 
pant, nothing  can  be  considered 
lightly  or  unimportant.  The 
ability  to  perform  with  accuracy 
and  thoroughness  and  to  re- 
quire it  of  others  is  one  of  the 
traits  needing  emphasis  today  In 
modern  education.  The  pride 
which  individuals  once  had  in 
accomplishments  which  were 
performed  by  a  single  person 
should  be  developed  for  coopera- 
tive projects.  This  attitude  or 
point  of  view  will  lead  to  more 
effective  community  life  and 
happier  individuals.

Summer  Lyceum 

Committee  Presents 

Top- Rate  Attractions 
By  Lauretta  Google 

"The  Old  Maid  and  the  Thief," 
a  comic  opera  was  sponsored  by 
the  Summer  Lyceum  Committee 
of  Savannah  State  College. 

The  comic  opera  was  written 
by  Gian-Carlo  Menotti  whose 
products  have  captivated  Broad- 
way theater  goers.  "The  Consul," 
"The  Medium"  and  "The  Tele- 
phone" are  among  his  triumphs. 
The  opera  was  presented  by 
the  Comic  Opera  Players  in  a 
light  informal  theatrical  atmos- 
phere which  combined  drama 
with  an  intimate  relationship  be- 
tween cast  and  audience.  Com- 
posed of  a  group  of  young  pro- 
fessionals, the  Comic  Opera 
Players  are  under  the  guidance 
of  talented  David  Shapiro  who 
has  conducted  operas  in  New 
York  and  at  Tanglewood,  Massa- 
chusetts. 

The  players  are  Madeline  Vose, 
Virginia  Copeland,  Alfred  Medi- 
nets,  Robert  Gross,  Edith  Gordon 
and  Audrey  Dearden.  Life  Maga- 
zine has  hailed  this  group  as  the 
"finest  young  theater  company 
in  the  country." 

The  Committee  presented  three 
talented  musicians  in  chapel  on 
Wednesday,  June  23. 

The  two  well-known  artists 
from  the  Savannah  sector  were 
Miss  Evelyn  Grant,  pianist,  the 
talented  daughter  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Leon  Grant,  Sr.,  and  a  sen- 
ion  at  Howard  University  where 
she  is  majoring  in  music.  Miss 
Ella  Marie  Law,  soprano,  a  grad- 
uate of  Talladega  College,  thrilled 
the  audience  with  her  version  of 
Angus  Dieu.  Miss  Law  is  the 
daughter  of  the  Edward  Laws. 

The  guest  of  honor  was  Mrs.  Yo- 
shlo  Ogawa,  an  exchange  student 
from  the  University  of  Tokyo  to 
the  University  of  Southern  Cali- 
fornia where  he  is  doing  ad- 
vanced study  in  music,  special- 
izing in  the  Violin.  He  is  the 
mouse  guest  of  Mr.  J.  B.  Clem- 
Imons,  Chairman  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Mathematics  at  Savan- 
nah State  College. 

The  Lyceum  Committee  spon- 
sored other  entertaining  affairs 
for  the  summer  school  students. 
Among  the  affairs  were:  A  boat- 
ride  to  Daufuskie  Island,  South 
Carolina  on  July  2;  on  July  4, 
a  Lawn  Party  on  the  College 
followed  by  a  social  in  the  Col-

tinental-Aires," appeared  at  the 
College  on  July  27  and  a  "Square 
Dance"  In  the  College  Inn  on 
July  31. 

The  Committee  has  also 
planned  a  tour  of  Savannah 
Boatride.  a  local  talent  show  and 
a  motorcade  to  Selden  Park  in

Prof.  Lockette 
Tells  Of  Work 
At  Illinois 

By  Joe  Anna  Campbell 

Savannah  State  College,  June 
26.  —  Professor  Rutherford  E. 
Lockette,  Assistant  Professor  of 
Industrial  Education  at  Savan- 
nah State  College,  gave  high- 
lights and  opinions  in  an  inter- 
view yesterday  concerning  his 
position  as  graduate  assistant  in 
the  Department  of  Industrial 
Education  at  the  University  of 
Illinois  during  the  academic  year 
of  1952-53. 

"I  did  a  research  project  and 
developed  a  course  of  study  in 
applied  electricity  for  the  Indus- 
trial Education  Department.  I 
based  my  research  on  the  analy- 
sis of  electrical  occupation,"  he 
stated. 

Professor  Lockette  pointed  out 
that  the  objective  of  this  course 
is  to  prepare  teachers  to  handle 
electricity  in  the  industrial  arts 
area. 

"The  students  seemed  to  have 
felt  the  need  for  study  and  did 
study.  They  spent  several  hours 
a  day  in  the  library  attempting 
to  get  as  much  out  of  the  course 
as  possible." 

"With  the  approach  of  inter- 
gration,  and  it  seems  to  be  ap- 
proaching, this  should  focus  our 
attention  on  the  need  for  better 
preparation  at  the  lower  levels," 
he  added. 

Professor  Lockette  stated  the 
belief  that  students  should  go 
about  their  work  as  though  it 
were  a  vocation. 

"The  12  students  enrolled  in 
the  course  showed  exceptional 
ability  and  background,"  he  said. 

In  commenting  on  the  fact 
that  he  was  the  first  Negro  to 
teach  at  the  University  of  Illi- 
nois, he  said,  "It  depended  most- 
ly upon  the  individual  more  than 
the  race.  The  question  of  being 
a  Negro  was  just  another  inci- 
dent." 

tion  room  of  the  College  Inn. 
The  table  Is  for  the  benefit  of 
students  who  like  to  play  the 
game  and  are  willing  to  care  for 
it  properly. 

Nelson  R.  Freeman,  Veteran's 
Secretary  and  Manager  of  the 
Book  Store  and  College  Inn,  is 
doing  additional  study  In  the 
field  of  personnel  management 
at  Columbia  University  this  sum- 
mer. This  study  Is  expected  to 
enrich  activities  in  the  Inn.  Miss 
Doris  L.  Harris,  Veteran's  Clerk 
and  Cashier,  College  Inn,  and  al- 
so a  graduate  of  Savannah  State 
College,  is  in  full  charge  of  the 
Inn  during  the  absence  of  Mr. 
Freeman.  Her  duties:  managing 
the  snack  bar,  the  book  store 
and  managing  veteran's  affairs. 

Miss  Harris  released  the  infor- 
mation that  there  are  40  Korean 
veterans  in  attendance  at  Sa-

applications  received  to  date,  the 
number  is  expected  to  be  at 
least  doubled  by  September. 

The  Veteran's  Secretary  urges 
all  veterans  to  make  a  wise 
choice  in  their  field  of  study  as 
Korean  veterans  will  be  permit- 
ted to  change  their  fields  only 
once  while  studying  under  the 
G.  I.  Bill  of  Rights.  This  change 
can  be  only  when  sufficient  rea- 
sons are  furnished  the  Veterans 
Administration  Office  to  justify 
the  change. 

Korean  veterans  are  advised  to 
bring  enough  money  to  school 
with  them  to  pay  all  expenses 
for  at  least  a  month.  The  Vet- 
erans Administration  is  now  pay- 
ing expenses  until  the  termina- 
tion of  each  month  instead  of 
paying  in  advance  as  with  the 
World  War  II  veteran.

The  highlight  of  the  workshop 
was  the  presentation  of  a  Three 
Dimensltional  Skit  in  the  Col- 
lege Chapel.  The  skit  was  di- 
rected by  Dr.  Klah  with  Angus 
Henry  as  stage  manager.  The 
theme  of  the  skit  was,  "Making 
the  Curriculum  in  the  Secondary 
School  Dynamic."  The  first  di- 
mension was  the  old  traditional 
one-room  school  where  the 
teacher  told  the  student  what, 
when  and  how  to  do  their  work. 
The  emphasis  was  on  the  lesson 
content  of  the  book  only.  Mrs. 
Georgia  Gordon  of  Savannah, 
portrayed  the  traditional  teacher 
who  ruled  the  classroom  with 
Iron  handed   discipline. 

The  second  dimension  was  the 
modern,  well  lit  classroom  with 
reference  materials  and  informal 
seating  arrangement.  The  teach- 
er served  as  co-ordinator  and 
advisor  to  the  students,  putting 
stress  on  group  participation 
and  teacher-pupil  planning.  In 
the  modern  school  emphasis  was 
placed  on  the  individual  student 
and  ways  to  meet  his  physical, 
mental,  emotional,  aesthetic  and 
social  needs. 

The  Third  Dimension  will  be 
the  new  school  of  the  future,  de- 
veloped by  the  teachers  and  fu- 
ture teachers  of  tomorrow.  Con- 
sultants assisting  Dr.  Klah  in 
the  workshop  were  Mr.  R.  C. 
Long,  Chairman  of  the  Business 
Department;  Mr.  W.  B.  Nelson, 
Director  of  the  Division  of  Trades 
and  Industries;  Dr.  O.  T.  Small- 
wood,  Professor  of  Language  and

man of  the  Department  of  Chem- 
Isty;  Mr.  W.  V.  Winters.  Pro- 
fessor of  Chemistry ;  Mr.  E.  J.

Vol.  7,  No.  2 


A  Prosperous  Year  To  Class  Of  '57 


Many  New  Books 
Added  To  Library 

Since  the  library  is  really  the  core  of  any  educational  institu- 
tion, it  must  therefore  strive  to  meet  the  needs  of  all  of  its  clientele. 
With  this  view  in  mind— your  library  staff  has  endeavored  to  build 
up  the  library  collection  and  services.  As  a  result  of  this  there  are 
many  new  books  on  our  shelves  for  your  use.  This  expansion  has 
brought  forth  a  few  changes  in  library  regulations  and  services. 
Circulating-books  are  now  available  for  a  two  week  loan  period 
instead   of    the   one    week   limit 


previously  used-  The  number  of 
subscriptions  to  newspapers  and 
magazines  has  been  increased, 
back  issues  of  the  New  York 
Times,  Savannah  Morning  News 
and  the  London  Times  are  avail- 
able on  microfilm.  A  recordax 
microfilm  reader  is  maintained. 
Films,  pictures  and  record  col- 
lections are  now  in  the  develop- 
mental stage.  In  a  matter  of  a 
few  weeks,  a  new  service  will 
be  provided  for  the  convenience 
of  our  patrons;  a  rental  type- 
writer will  be  placed  in  the  stock 
room  by  the  Graymont  Corpora- 
tion. Persons  wishing  to  use  the 
typewriter  should  make  inquiries 
at  the  desk.  This  is  the  first 
time,  stock  permits  must  be  se- 
cured at  the  circulation  desk  by 
all  persons  who  find  it  neces- 
sary to  use  the  library  stacks. 

In  keeping  with  the  institu- 
tional calendar  of  events  and  in 
the  area  of  publicity,  periodically 
attractive  displays  and  exhibits 
will  be  arranged  in  the  library 
reading  room.  It  is  hoped  that 
these  exhibits  will  help  inspire 
and  promote  variety  and  growth 
in  reading  by  our  patrons.  The 
library  staff  invites  suggestions 
for  books  and  other  materials 
that    the    students    wish    placed 


Homecoming  Nov.  14 
To  Be  Gala  Occasion 

The  Homecoming  on  Novem- 
ber 14  will  be  a  gala  affair.  All 
members  of  the  homecoming 
committee  have  rolled  up  their 
sleeves  and  gone  to  work  on 
slans  that  promise  to  make  this 
1953  homecoming  an  enjoyable 
one. 

There  will  be  a  parade  the 
morning  before  the  game  as 
usual,  the  time  and  route  of  the 
parade  will  be  announced  later. 

The  buildings  and  grounds, 
with  all  their  colors,  streamers, 
massive  oaks  and  hanging  moss, 
will  stand  out  with  signs  of  wel- 
come to  all  who  come  within 
our  gates. 

Host  and  hostesses  will  be  on 
hand  to  see  that  all  of  our  guests 
enjoy  themselves  while  here  at 
Savannah  State  College. 

Notice  the  bulletin  boards  for 
announcements  of  what  you  can 
do  toward  the  success  of  our  1953 
homecoming. 


Brooks,  Pulitzer 
Winner  1st  Book 
Off  The  Press 

The  first  novel  by  Gwendolyn 
Brooks,  Negro  Pulitzer  Prize  win- 
ner in  poetry,  was  published  this 
week  by  Harper  and  Brothers  of 
New  York  City.  Titled  "Maud 
Martha,"  the  story  centers 
around  a  Negro  daughter,  wife 
and  mother  who  lives  in  the 
Bronzeville  section  of  Chicago. 

According  to  the  publishers' 
statement,  the  novel  tells  in 
vivid,  poetic  prose  "the  fear  that 
underlies  every  moment — fear 
that  beyond  the  safety  of  the 
neighborhood  world  the  person 
born  with  a  dark  face  will  be 
looked  upon  as  an  intruder." 

Miss  Brooks'  first  volume  of 
poetry,  "A  Street  in  Bronzeville," 
was  published  by  the  same  com- 
pany In  1945  and  in  1949  she 
won  the  Pulitzer  Prize  in  Poetry 
for  her  second  volume  of  poetry. 
■'Annie  Alien."    The  novel  Is  her

improving  the  library  and  libra- 
ry service  are  always  welcome. 

Never  fail  to  ask  for  informa- 
tion or  assistance  in  library  use 
if  the  need  arises.  The  efficient 
service  your  library  renders  is 
also  determined  by  the  way  you 
as  a  patron  cooperate  with  the 
library  staff  and  regulations.  If 
you  have  not  registered  with  the 
library  for  this  term,  please  do 
so  at  your  earliest  convenience 
to  avoid  confusion.  Please  keep/ 
these  ideas  in  mind  during  your 
daily  visits  thereby  helping  youn 
library  to  be  a  place  of  enjoy- 
ment as  well  as  a  place  of  in- 
tellectual growth.

Current  News 


This  year  it  is  indeed  a  pleasure 
for  the  staff  of  the  Tiger's  Roar, 
along  with  the  upper  classmen  and 
faculty  members,  to  extend  a  hardy 
welcome  to  one  of  the  largest  fresh- 
man classes  that  we  have  witnessed 
at  S.S.C. 

Not  only  can  we  boast  of  one 
of  the  largest  enrollments  in  the 
history  of  Savannah  Stale  College, 
but  we  have  representatives  from 
many  of  the  Southern.  mid-West- 
ern and  Eastern  States. 

The  class  of  1957  has  already 
displayed  that  it  is  one  that  will 
prove  an  asset  to  our  college  com- 
munity. There  are  members  of  the 
class  that  are  outstanding  in  the 
fine  arts.  A  positive  indication  of 
our  talented  freshmen  was  ex- 
hibited at  their  annual  talent  show. 

Another  unique  feature  of  the 
class  of  '57  is  that  it  is  the  first 
class  to  participate  in  the  initiation 
of  the  General  Education  program 
which  is  a  step  forward  in  higher 
education  today 

It  is  not  too  early  for  the  class 
of  '57  to  begin  some  serious  think- 
ing- along    with    fun.      Savannah 


Sialc  College  offers  many  oppor- 
tunities in  the  development  of 
one's  mental,  physical,  religious, 
social  and  aesthetic  values. 

With  such  an  extensive  college 
program,  it  is  a  matter  of  the  sur- 
vival of  the  fittest.  It  is  up  to 
the  individual  to  adopt  a  receptive 
atlitude  and  to  grasp  every  advan- 
tage, offered  by  our  college,  to 
develop  a  well  rounded  personal- 
ity. 
"Roll  Call  of  Layalty 

We  have  many  extra-curricular 
activities  and  one  of  the  strongest 
in  is  the  area  of  sports. 

In  order  to  develop  a  winning 
team  in  any  of  the  sports — foot- 
ball, basketball,  baseball,  track. 
etc.  —  we  must  morally  support 
them  by  displaying  good  school 
spirit  and  individual  good  will. 

The  class  of  "57  is  a  challenge  to 
Savannah  State  College  and  our  62 
year  old  institution  has  what  it 
takes  to  challenge  the  class  of  '57. 

I  implore  you,  class  of  '57,  to 
accept  the  opportunities  offered  by 
Savannah  Stale  College.

Are  You  Guilty 


Dorothy  Moore — '56 
The  spirit  of  the  Savannah 
State  College  students  seems  to 
be  a  little  off  this  school  term, 
which  may  be  the  cause  of  our 
football  defeats. 

The  students  are  partially 
members  of  the  football  team. 
During  the  time  S.  S.  C.  is  win- 
ning there  is  plenty  of  pep  which 
encourages  the  team,  but  when 
we  are  losing  everything  Is  dull; 
therefore,  the  team  becomes  less 
active. 

When  a  player  gets  injured 
the  yelling  stops  and  he  feels  as 


if  the  students  think  that  he 
didn't  play  well.  This  naturally 
depresses  the  injured  player  and 
is  the  main  time  cheering  should 
bo  done. 

When  a  player  is  entering  the 
field  one  should  not  make  smart 
remarks  because  it  will  discour- 
age him  and  cause  him  to  fill 
his  position  with  remorse  and 
insecurity. 

So.  if  the  students  of  S.  S.  C. 
would  yell  throughout  the  game, 
perhaps  victory  would  be  at- 
tained— if  not  in  score — in  mo- 
rale.

By  Thomas  R.  Evans — '55 

The  most  shocking  tragedy  to 
be  felt  by  the  entire  American 
public,  for  some  time,  was  the 
kidnap-murder  of  little  Bobby 
Greenlease.  This  boy,  son  of  a 
multi-millionaire,  was  appre- 
hended by  Miss  Bonnie  Brown 
Heady  and  Carl  Austin  Hall.  The 
twin  kidnappers  received  a 
5600,000  ransome  and  later  mur- 
dered the  child.  They  are  now 
on  trial  in  Kansas  City.  I  be- 
lieve that  the  court's  decision 
will  coincide  with  the  opinion  of 
the  American  people  on  what 
should  be  done  to  this  couple. 

The  recent  election  and  the 
appointments  of  certain  officials 
to  high  offices  in  the  govern- 
ment may  have  some  effect  on 
the  present  administration  pol- 
icy. 

The  appointment  of  Mayor 
Thomas  A.  Burke  of  Cleveland 
by  Governor  Frank  J.  Lausche 
of  Ohio,  a  Democrat,  gave  the 
once  minority  party  a  majority 
of  48  seats  in  the  Senate  to  the 
G.  O.  P.  47.  It  is  interesting  to 
watch  how  the  Senate  votes  on 
the  next  legislative  issue. 

The  election  of  Lester  Johnson 
to  Congress  marks  the  first  time 
that  a  Democrat  has  ever  been 
elected  from  the  Ninth  Wiscon- 
sin Congressional  District.  The 
election  was  viewed  with  nation- 
al interest  as  a  possible  reflec- 
tion of  a  midwestern  farmer 
vote  on  President  Eisenhower's 
farm  policy.  Could  this  mean 
that  Wisconsin  is  going  Demo- 
crat in  the  Congressional  elec- 
tion next  year? 

The  appointment  of  Governor 
Earl  Warren  as  chief  justice  of 
the  Supreme  Court  could  be  a 
strategic  move  toward  solving 
the  segregation  problem  in  the 
public  schools.  This  issue  will 
come  before  the  Supreme  Court 
in  the  near  future. 

Mr.  L.  B.  Toomer.  a  local  Negro 
civic  leader,  was  appointed  by 
President  Eisenhower  to  the 
Treasury  Register  post.  He  is  the 
first  Negro  to  hold  this  office 
since  James  C.  Napier  was  ap- 
pointed by  President  Coolidge 
thirty  years  ago. 

The  Yugoslav  -  Italian  clash 
over  Trieste  remains  yet  to  hold 
the  spotlight  in  international 
news.  Both  of  these  European 
nations  claim  possession  of  this 
strategic  coastal  city.  I  predict 
that  the  United  Nations  will  in- 
tervene in  this  dispute  and  will 
try  to  work  out  an  agreement 
between  the  two  nations. 

-CHOES— 

Farns  Madison  Hudson — '55 
Once  there  was  a  troop  of  echoes 

Dancing  in  the  air. 
Where  they  went  nobody  knows 

But    I    am    sure     they    went 
somewhere. 

They    sounded    like    a    band    of 

beating  drums 
Floating  on  a  cloud. 
The    sweetest   songs    one    would 

like  to  hear 
But  not  so  very  loud. 

Most  people  thought  it  was  the 
angels 
Singing  their  theme  song  after 
a  silent  prayer. 
To  see  this  sight  would  have  been 
an  amazing  thing 
But  no  one  could  get  up  there. 

So  float  on  echoes,  wherever  you 
are, 
And    keep    the    tune    of    your 
sweetest  songs. 
In  a  mental  picture  we  will  see 
you 
And  count  all  the  loved  ones. 


Meet  Our  President 


It  is  a  pleasure  to  greet  the 
TIGER'S  ROAR  staff  and  the 
citizens  which  it  serves  at  this 
season  of  the  year.  The  opening 
of  school  is  always  an  important 
period  for  both  the  students  who 
are  returning  and  those  who 
have  come  to  the  college  for  the 
first  time. 

Each  group  comes  to  the  col- 
lege looking  for  some  definite 
things  which  are  to  be  realized, 
extended,  or  started  during  the 
current  academic  year.  The 
frame  of  mind  is  a  genuine  basis 
for  progress  if  it  can  be  sys- 
tematically developed. 
/''One  method  for  developing 
'this  attitude  or  frame  of  mind 
is  systematic  planning.  Students 
should  write  down  in  their 
diaries  or  career  books  or  on  a 
plain  piece  of  paper  some  of  the 
important  things  which  they 
would  like  to  accomplish  or 
achieve  during  the  present  aca- 
demic year.  The  act  of  writing 
out  these  goals  will  impress  upon 
them  thenecessity  for  doing 
something  toward  their  realiza- 
tion. At  the  end  of  the  fall 
quarter  just  before  school  closes 
for  the  Christmas  recess,  this 
list  should  be  reviewed  by  the 
student.  At  that  time  some  at- 
tempt should  be  made  to  evalu- 


ate the  progress  made  toward 
the  realization  or  achievement  of 
each  objective.  This  preliminary 
evaluation  will  serve  as  a  founda- 
tion for  readjustments  in  goals 
or  aspirations  for  the  winter  and 
spring  quarters.  A  similar  pro- 
cedure should  be  followed  at  the 
end  of  the  winter  quarter  and 
the  beginning  of  the  spring 
quarter. 

At  the  end  of  the  spring  quar- 
ter a  special  time  should  be  set 
aside  for  the  final  checking  of 
progress  or  development  that  has 
taken  place.  In  each  instance 
the  student  should  be  objective 
in  his  evaluation.  Care  should 
be  taken  to  face  in  every  respect 
the  situation  as  it  exists.  Where 
no  progress  has  been  made,  an 
explanation  should  be  forthcom- 
ing which  would  not  be  a  mere 
relationship,  where  progress  has 
been  made  an  explanation  should 
point  up  the  things  which  made 
progress  possible.  It  is  my  opin- 
ion that  the  application  of  this 
technique  will  help  to  make  the 
school  year  a  better  year  for 
both  freshmen  and  continuing 
students.  It  is  hoped  that  each 
student  will  give  the  plan  an 
honest  trial.  May  the  year  1953- 
54  be  monumental  in  the  college 
career  of  each  one. 


A  HEART'S  CONFESSION— 
Nadene  Cooper — '55 

Perhaps  you  think  I  have  some- 
time love 
And  my  actions  are  very  odd. 


Perhaps  you  think  I  place  every- 
one above  you 
But.  I  love  you,  deep  down  in 

my  heart. 
There  are  some  things  you  may 

not  understand 
But  they  are  meaningless,  as  you 

should  know. 
So  please  accept  me  as  I  am 
Because  in  my  heart,  I  love  you. 
Time  changes  things  'tis  true. 
Yes,    it    brings    things    we    can 

hardly  bear. 
It  hasn't  changed  you,  your  love, 

nor  smile 
That's  why,  in  my  heart  I  care. 
Don't  think  I  am  a  flirt 
When     I     am     constantly     with 

someone  else; 
Please    understand    that    I    love 

you 
And  I  want  you  for  myself. 

When  my  love  for  you  is  being 

doubted 
And  what  to  do.  you  do  not  know. 
Just  remember  that  I  love  you 
And    my    love    shall    follow    you 

wherever  you  go. 

MEMORIES  YOU'LL  NEVER 
FORGET— 

Dorothy  Moore — '55 
When    your    lover    has    left    you 

and  you  are  all  alone; 
And  your  life  is  worth  nothing 

but  to  roam, 
Just  bring  into  your  memory  the 

time  he  was  home, 
Yet,  those  days  are  passed  and 

gone. 

Think  of  the  times  you  strolled 
In  the  park; 


And  every  word  he  said  speeded 
directly  to  your  heart, 

And  you  thought  then  you  would 
never  depart. 

Just  think  of  the  times  in  the 
moonlight 

You  kissed,  and  your  heart  beat 
as  though  it  should  miss, 

The  time  he  was  your  Romeo 
and  you  were  his  Juliet; 

Yes,  these  are  memories,  mem- 
ories you  will  never  forget. 


A  POEM,  A  PICTURE,  A  SONG— 

Nathan  Dell—  '54 
To  me  you  are  a  poem, 

A  lovely  poem, 
A  poem  whose  writer  is  He  who 
wrote 
Across  the  sky  the  milky  way, 
A    poem    that    moves    with    the 
grace  of 
Drifting  clouds  on  a  still  day. 
To  me  you  are  a  picture. 

A  lovely  picture, 
A    picture  whose   painter  is  He 
who 
Paints    the    sunsets    and    the 
dawns 
And  the  glory  of  autumn. 
A  picture  whose  beauty  shall 
never  fade, 
But  always  be  as  fresh  as  the 
morning. 

To  me  you  are  a  song 
A  lovely  song  .  .  . 

Whose  composer  is  He  who  com- 
posed the  music  of  the  wind 
.  .  .  and  of  falling  rain. 

A  song  whose  melody  I  hear 
whispering  to  me  and  haunt- 
ing me  when  the  shadows 
are  deep  .  .  .

ALPHA  PHI  ALPHA 

"Manly  Deeds.  Scholarship  and 
Love  for  All  Mankind."  these  are 
the  aims  of  Alpha  Phi  Alpha. 

This  year  marks  the  fifth  year 
that-  the  Alpha  Phi  Alpha  Fra- 
ternity has  been  in  existence  on 
the  campus  of  Savannah  State 
College. 

The  Alphas  are  planning  to 
make  this  year  one  of  the  great 
strides  of  progress.  During  the 
school  year  this  organization  will 
celebrate  their  annual  observ- 
ance of  Founder's  Day.  Educa- 
tion for  Citizenship  Week,  and 
many  other  inspirational  and  ed- 
ucational activities. 

The  officers  of  Alpha  Phi  Al- 
pha Fraternity,  Delta  Eta  chap- 
ter this  year  are  as  follow^^pfes- 
ident,  Curtis  V.  Cooper;  corre- 
sponding secretary.  John  B.  Mid- 
dleton;  recording  secretary.  Wil- 
lie J.  Anderson;  dean  of  pledges. 
Ruben  L.  Gamble;  financial  sec- 
retary. William  D.  Wood,  Jr.; 
treasurer,  Timothy  U.  Ryals;  his- 
torian. Thomas  J.  Polite;  chap- 
lain, Charles  L.  Brannen;  ser- 
geant-at-arms.  Rudolph  V  Hard- 
wick. 

These  officers  of  Delta  Eta 
Chapter  are  working  hard  to 
maintain  the  objectives  and  tra- 
ditions of  Alpha  Phi  Alpha  since 
its  historical  beginning,  Decem- 
ber 4,  1906.  at  Cornell  University, 
Ithaca,  N.  Y. 
ALPHA  KAPPA  ALPHA 
LT-he"  Alpha  Kappa  Alpha  Soror- 
ity under  the  leadership  of  Miss 
Delores  Perry  is  planning  big 
things  for  the  campus  and  com- 
munity, 

I  hope  you're  looking  forward 
to  its  annual  play  which  will  be 
presented  either  the  winter  or 
spring  quarter.  And  don't  forget 
"fashionetta"  on  the  20th  of  No- 
vember. 

Alpha  Kappa  Alpha  has  many 
other  surprises  in  store  for  you, 
so  keep  your  eyes  and  ears  open. 

The  Gamma  Chi  Chapter  of 
Kappa  Alpha  Psl  Fraternity 
opens  its  1953-54  school  year  with 


the  following  new  officers: 
■  Barnes  Curtis,  Polemarch 
Ezra  Merritt,  Vice-Polemarch 
James   F.   Densler.   Keeper    of 
Records 

Archie    Robinson.    Keeper    of 
Exchequer 
Samson  Frazier,  Historian 
James  Murray,  Strategus 
Oscar  Dillard,  Dean  of  Pledges 
With  these  able  officers  work- 
ing coherently  to  achieve,  we  feel 
certain    that    this    will    be    the 
Kappas'  most  successful  year  at 
Savannah  State  College. 

During  the  summer  months, 
the  Kappas  who  were  enrolled, 
worked  cooperatively  with  the 
Savannah  Alumni  Chapter  and 
published  the  "KAPPA  KOL- 
UMN,"  a  monthly  news  digest. 
These  publications  were  designed 
to  inform  vacationing  brothers 
of  the  happenings  on  the  local 
scene;  as  well  as  to  serve  as  a 
stimulant  for  the  forthcoming 
school  year.  The  success  of  these 
publications  may  be  directly  at- 
tributed to  the  sound  advice  of 
Mr.  John  Camper  and  the  very 
efficient  work  of  James  Densler 
and  Johnnie  Paul  Jones. 
OMEGA  PSI  PHI 

The  Alpha  Gamma  Chapter  of 
Omega  Psi  Phi  Fraternity  starts 
the  1953-54  school  year  with  the 
following  officers :  LB"a"  s  i  1  e  u  s, 
James  E.  Hill;  Vice  Basileus, 
Walter  McCall;  Keeper  of  Rec- 
ords and  Seals,  ^"ames  Ashe ; 
Keeper  of  Finance,  Roy  Allen; 
Chaplain,  David  Hook;  Parlia- 
mentarian, Arthur  L.  Johnson; 
sergeant-at-arms,  Robert  Phil- 
son;  and  Dean  of  Pledgees,  Wal- 
ter McCall. 

Even  though  the  chapter  is 
relatively  small,  the  year  prom- 
ises to  be  a  very  prosperous  one. 
To  uphold  its  cardinal  principles 
— scholarship,  perseverance,  up- 
lift, manhood— and  to  instill  in 
all  Savannah  State  College  stu- 
dents the  need  of  brotherhood 
are  the  chapter's  alms.  We  must 
remember — "Men  are  judged  by 
their  fruit." 


Mercedes  Mitchell — '54 

"The  body  is  the  shell  of  the 
soul,  and  the  dress  the  husk  of 
that  shell;  but  the  husk  often 
tells  what  the  kernel  is." 

To  dress  well  and  appropri- 
ately denotes  that  one  is  not 
only  educationally  efficient  but 
culturally  secure.  There  is  an 
appropriate  attire  for  any  and 
every  occasion.  School  clothes 
should  be  simple,  conservative, 
yet  fashionable.  Set  off  last 
year's  sweaters  with  a  small  but 
colorful  scarf,  a  dainty  collar  or 
a  simple  yet  attractive  necklace. 
A  well  groomed  young  lady  is 
never  overdressed.  This  holds 
true  for  church,  dinner,  teas,  and 
formals.  The  simplest  garment 
can  be  made  the  most  attractive. 

The  young  man's  problem  in 
dress  is  a  simple  one.  A  well- 
pressed  dark  suit  is  always  in 
good  taste  excluding  strictly 
formal. 

Remember  ,  .  .  neatness  and 
cleanliness  are  necessary  always 
to  give  character  and  poise. 

ZETA  PHI  BETA

much  concerned  with  the  devel- 
opment of  personality  and  lead- 
ership among  n  on-Greek  stu- 
dents as  well  as  Greeks.  Plans 
have  been  made  for  a  very  dy- 
namic and  successful  year.  The 
newly  elected  officers  for  the  en- 
suing year  are:

DELTA  SIGMA  THETA 

Wtjelta  Nu  Chapter  of  Delta  Sig- 
a  Theta  Sorority  was  the  last 
Greek-Letter  organization  to  en- 
ter the  Savannah  State  College 
Family.  Though  it  is  the  young- 
est Greek  group,  the  members 
have  initiated  many  projects 
that  help  to  enrich  our  college 

Socially,  Delta  Nu  sponsors 
two  parties.  Of  the  group  is  the 
much  talked  about  Raggedy  Ann 
and  Andy  Ball  which  has  proved 
fun  for  all  in  the  past. 

Educationally,  the  Deltas  spon- 
sor chapel  programs  and  schol- 
arship projects.  Each  year  the 
Freshman  woman  who  has  the 
highest  cumulative  average  is 
honored  at  the  May  Week  Chapel 
Program. 

A  careful  examination  of  the 
1953-54  plans  for  Delta  Nu  will 
prove  that  the  members  have 
planned  a  program  that  is  in 
keeping  wit  lithe  public  motto  of 
the  sorority— "Intelligence  is  the 
torch  of  Wisdom." 

Delta  Nu  Chapter  of  Delta  Sig- 
ma Theta  Sorority  starts  the 
1953-54  year  with  the  following 
roster : 

Carolyn  Gladden,  President; 
Lillie  Linder.  Vice-President;  Lil- 
lie  Mae  Jackson,  Recording  Sec- 
retary; Ann  Enmon,  Correspond- 
ing Secretary;  Evelyn  James, 
Treasurer;  Lois  Reeves,  Histo- 
rian; Ella  Fortson,  Chaplain; 
Lillie  Linder.  Keeper  of  Records; 
Boris  Sanders,  Dean  of  Pledgees; 
Miss  Juanita  G.  Sellers,  Faculty 
Advisor. 


Many  New  Faculty 
Added  to  Staff 

With  the  beginning  of  the  academic  year  53-54,  we  found  on  our 
return  trip  to  Savannah  State  College  many  new  faculty  members. 
/"^At  Powell  Laboratory  School  is  Mrs.  Virginia  S.  Bush,  who  re- 
ceived her  A.  B.  degree  from  Spelman.  Atlanta.  Georgia,  and  M.  A. 
degree  from  Atlanta  University.  Before  coming  to  S-  S.  C  Mrs. 
Bush  worked  in  Thompson,  Georgia. 


Dr.  C.  A.  Braithwaite  is  the 
new  chairman  of  the  Fine  Arts 
Department.  He  received  the 
B.  A.,  cum  laude,  and  M.  A.  de- 
grees from  Harvard  University; 
his  S.  M.  E.  and  E.  D.  D.  from

MAN'S  BEST  FRIEND 

Toddler  is  Rescued 

In  a  small  town  in  Florida,  a 
twenty  -  two  -  month  -  old,  blue- 
eyed,  blonde-haired  girl  wan- 
dered off  and  fell  into  some  deep 
water. 

Fortunately,  her  next-door 
neighbor,  a  purebred  German 
Shepherd,  saw  his  friend's  dis- 
tress, dashed  in  and  pulled  the 
little  girl  back  to  the  water's 
edge. 

The  only  damage  was  e.  torn 
dress.

On  October  12,  1953,  a  speed-

may  affect  or  infect  you.  Taci-

from  him.  You  have  to  live 
with  the  other  fellow,  and  sadly 
enough,  the  other  fellow  has  to 
live  with  you— make  yourself 
worth  living  with,  pleasantly, 
constructively,  healthily,  worth-

S.S.C.  MAKES  HOMECOMING  HISTORY 


Give  Thanks- 
For  What 


Ruby  Simmons — '54 
Shirley  L.  Jenkins — '54 
For  the  new  suit  you  got  for 
Homecoming,  the  new  car  you 
cruise  around  in,  or  for  being 
ible  to  attend  the  dance  after 
the  game.  No,  we  should  be 
hankful  for  more  than  these. 
For  Thanksgiving  is  a  special 
ime  to  say  a  special  thank-you 
o  God  for  food,  family,  friends, 
md  home. 
The  first  Thanksgiving  was 
elebrated  in  1621  by  a  group  of 
teople  known  as  the  Pilgrims. 
Lnder  the  leadership  of  Governor 
Bradford.  However,  like  most 
if  our  international  holidays,  the 
:erm  dates  back  to  the  olden 
I  imes. 
Even  though  the  Pilgrims  cel- 
brated  the  first  Thanksgiving 
In  1621,  it  did  not  become  na- 
ionally  known  until  1789  during 
be  Washington  administration. 
Vashington's  proclamation  did 
lot  prove  to  be  effective,  because 
ne  custom  of  all  Americans  cele- 
rating  Thanksgiving  on  the 
ame  day  did  not  last.  Some 
tates  observed  Thanksgiving  on 
ne  date,  some  on  another  and 
ome  did  not  observe  it  at  all. 
It  was  Mrs.  Sarah  Hale.  Amer- 
a's  first  woman  editor,  who, 
iirough  editorial  reports  and 
etters  to  the  Governors  of  all 
iie  states,  and  the  President, 
^■ked  them  to  aid  in  the  reissu- 
ng  of  the  national  Thanksgiving 
'roclamation.  Finally,  her  hopes 
!Bie  fulfilled  in  1863,  when  Pres- 
cient Lincoln  issued  the  first 
Lruly  national  Thanksgiving 
'roclamation,  setting  apart  the 
tst  Thursday  in  November  as 
the  date  to  be  observed. 

While  the  first  national  cele- 
oration  of  the  day  was  held  in 
.363,  the  first  international  cele- 
bration was  held  in  Washington 
In  1909.  It  was  conceived  by  the 
Rev.  Dr.  William  T.  Russell,  rec- 
tor of  St.  Patrick's  Catholic 
Church  in  that  city,  and  held  in 
obedience  to  a  request  from  Car- 
dinal Gibbons.  Dr.  Russell 
planned  what  he  called  a  Pan 
American  celebration  to  be  at- 
tended by  the  representatives  of 
"ill  the  Latin-American  countries 
in  the  national  capital  and  thus 
establishing  the  International 
celebration. 

As  our  forefathers,  from  1621 
down  through  the  centuries,  cel- 
ebrated Thanksgiving,  we,  in  the 
twentieth  century,  celebrate  it 
in  much  the  same  spirit  as  they 
did.  Church  services  are  held  for 
those  who  wish  to  keep  in  touch 
with  the  religious  spirit  of  the 
day;  however,  with  the  large  ma- 
jority of  us,  it  Is  peculiarly  a 
home  festival. 

And  Thanksgiving  comes  at 
just  the  very  best  time  for  a 
feast.  The  fat  old  gobbler  has 
reached  his  perfection;  the 
pumpkin  smiles  a  golden  smile; 
the  harvest  is  in;  elder  sparkles 
in  the  mill. 

But  when  we  Americans  gath- 
er for  Thanksgiving  dinner,  we 
should    remember    the    Pilgrims

Paradej  [Colorful; 
Homecoming  Activities 


The  homecoming  parade  was  a  very  colorful  event.  Charming 
Miss  Hem^ceJIiQDia.s  reigned  as  Mist  s^yaringh  fita.t-.P  queen  of 
"Autumn  Fiesta,  which  was  the  college  wide,  homecoming  theme. 

Misses  Beatrice  Walker  and  Evelyn  James  flanked  the  queen  on 
a  beautifully  decorated  float  that  followed  the  high  stepping  Savan- 
nah State  band  directed  by  Mr.  L.  Allen  Pyke. 
Other  Bands  Participate 

The  rhythmic  success  of  the  parade  can  also  be  attributed  to 
other  participating  bands.  They  were:  the  William  James  High 
School  band,  Statesboro,  Georgia;  Risley  High  School  band,  Bruns- 
wick, Georgia;    Alfred  E.  Beach      accessories   worn    by    the   lovely

The  band  members  were 
dressed  in  their  respective  school 
uniforms  and  marched  with  pep 
and  skill  through  the  streets  of 
Savannah. 

The  cars  and  floats  were  skill- 
fully decorated  and  made  an  eye- 
catching impression  as  the  array 
of  autumn  colors  moved  through 
the  city  streets. 

The  sidewalks  were  crowded 
with  onlookers  and  the  outstand- 
ing floats  and  cars  were  applaud- 
ed as  they  passed  by  the  enthusi- 
astic bystanders. 

Blue,  gold,  yellow,  red  and 
brown  were  the  dominant  colors 
used    in   suit   combinations    and 


queens  and  their  attendants 
Prizes  Awarded 

Approximately  35  units,  —

third. 

The  first  prize  for  the  best 
decorated  float  was  awarded  the 
Home  Economics  department. 
There  was  a  second  place  tie  be- 
tween the  Omega  Psi  Phi  and

Highlights 


Mary  Lois  Faison — '54 
Another  homecoming  has 
brought  many  graduates  of  Sa- 
vannah State  College  back  to 
their  dear  Alma  Mater.  "There 
is  no  place  like  home"  was  truly 
the  sentiments  of  those  who  are 
presently  enrolled  at  this  insti- 
tution. Welcome  mats  were 
spread  for  all  alumni. 

Miss  General  Alumni,"  for  the 
year  1953-54,  was  the  charming 
Mrs.  L.  Orene  Hall,  an  alumna 
of  this  institution.  Mrs.  Hall 
has  been  employed  as  Head  of 
the  Commercial  Department  of 
Albany  State  College  for  the  past 
eight  years.  She  stated  that  the 
ootball  weather  was  the  best 
that  she  had  witnessed  on  such 
an  occasion.  Mrs.  Hall  also  re-

In  the  middle  rose  a  clump  of

crowd  awaited  the  entrance  of 
the  queens. 

Behold  a  blur  of  breath-taking

Be  Grateful,  Be  Respectful, 
Be  Courageous 


The  student  body  of  Savannah 
State  College  both  past  and  pres- 
ent can  look  at  the  rapid  prog- 
ress and  development  made  in 
our  institution.  We  can  be  grate- 
ful and  say  that  a  rolling  stone 
gathers  no  moss,  but  will  roll  to 
success  with  a  place  in  our  com- 
munity relative  to  students,  and 
a  high  standard  in  our  nation 
relative  to  institution. 

Certain  things  have  to  be  ac- 
cepted without  your  individual 
test  and  proof.  Life  isn't  long 
enough  to  verify  everything  per- 
sonally. The  specialist,  the  au- 
thority, the  man  with  a  reputa- 
tion in  his  own  field  may  not  be 
mentally  keener  than  you,  but 
may  have  more  data  at  his  fin- 
gers' tips. 

So  realizing  possible  things 
that  would  cause  a  person  to  act 
or  seem  mentally  keener  than 
you,  shouldn't  cause  you  to  feel 
that  you  have  been  cheated  men- 
tally. Instead  you  should  be 
grateful  for  your  opportunity  to 
attend  college  and  strive  even 
harder  to  develop  yourself  men- 
tally in  the  field  of  your  choice. 

Not  only  mentally  will  you 
achieve  in  life,  but  you  will  pro- 
gress in  every  phase  of  life  by 
being  grateful  for  all  things  and 
by  shouldering  your  responsibil- 
ity joyously,  and  launching  out 
into  the  deep  in  order  to  build 
magnificently. 

One  of  tne  things  that  makes 
a  gentleman  is  being  respectful. 
One  of  the  methods  that  can  be 


employed  in  developing  respect 
is  to  first  stop  and  realize  that 
every  person  is  judged  as  an  in- 
dividual and  not  as  a  gi'oup. 

It  is  that  unseen  something, 
that  "inner  man,''  that  will  force 
you  to  have  a  certain  amount  of 
respect  for  yourself,  your  fellow- 
man  and  God. 

When  a  young  man  is  ap- 
proaching a  door  in  front  of  a 
young  lady,  he  may  show  respect 
to  her  by  holding  the  door  open 
until  she  enters;  or  in  the  case 
of  a  young  lady,  if  she  is  invited 
to  a  dance,  she  may  show  respect 
by  accepting  unless  she  has  a 
reason  for  not  doing  so.  Respect 
is  kindness  and  kindness  is  to 
do  and  say  the  kindest  things 
in  the  kindest  way. 

One  of  the  crusaders  of 
France,  Colonel  E.  L.  Daley,  told 
his  army  when  the  going  was 
rough:  "Boys,"  said  he,  "your 
name  is  Daley,  and  Daley  stands 
for  the  ability  to  do  things!"  No 
longer  should  we  let  doubt  enter 
our  minds  when  obstacles  enter 
our  lives;  instead,  we  should 
fight  until  the  battle  is  won. 

Perseverance  is  of  great  value 
in  our  lives — socially,  mentally, 
physically,  and  religiously.  We 
should  try  hard  to  obtain  this 
in  our  daily  living.  To  start  a 
job  and  to  continue  that  job  de- 
spite obstacles  will  ofttimes  de- 
termine one's  career. 

Let  your  moral  standard  be 
not  like  a  diploma  that  hangs 
on    the    wall,    but    within    your 


heart. 
Savannah  State  .

What  is  College  Without  a  Goal  ? 


Solomon  Green — '55 
I  am  a  student  at  Savannah 
State  College  and  I  have  had 
some  experiences  of  what  is 
meant  to  be  a  member  of  a  col- 
lege family.  All  classes,  regard- 
less of  classification,  experience 
doubt  and  hardships  In  the  proc- 
ess of  becoming  adjusted  to  col- 
lege life.  Since  the  first  two 
months  of  school  are  over,  I 
would  like  to  think  of  all  stu- 
dents as  being  fully  adjusted. 

A  student  is  a  person  who 
studies  in  order  to  attain  one  or 
more  goals,  or  a  student  is  one 
who  studies  under  the  direction 
of  a  tutor  with  the  idea  of  being 
like  his  tutor.  Remember  though, 
that  being  a  student  varies 
greatly  from  the  plain  definition 
— make  sure  that  you  put  the 
definition  into  action. 


Until  one  has  assured  himself 
that  he  has  studied  and  is 
studying  diligently  and  con- 
structively, influences  mean 
nothing.  A  student  must  study 
first  of  all  his  instructor ; 
then  his  contemporaries  or  class- 
mates; last,  but  not  least,  he 
must  learn  to  use  the  library 
constructively.  These  qualities 
are  not  difficult  to  obtain  or 
maintain.  It  is  just  a  philoso- 
phy or  code  which  each  student 
must  adopt  and  follow  to  his  own 
advantage. 

Although  you  have  paid  your 
entrance  fee,  if  you  do  not  pos- 
sess these  qualities,  you  have 
the  college,  but  no  goal.

Thomas  R.  Evans — '55 

The  cnarge  by  Attorney  Gen- 
eral Brownell.  that  former  Presi- 
dent Truman  appointed  a  So- 
viet spy,  Harry  Dexter  White,  to 
an  important  government  post, 
even  though  he  knew  the  man's 
record,  has  disturbed  the  Amer- 
ican public  quite  a  bit — perhaps 
this  may  have  an  effect  on  the 
election  next  fall.  I  believe  that 
is  more  or  less  a  political  move 
to  balk  the  recent  election  gains 
by  the  Democrats  during  this 
off-year  elections.  The  former 
President  has  stated  that  he  will 
go  before  the  American  public 
and  reveal  all  he  knows. 

President  Eisenhower's  visit  to 
Canada  has  exemplified  the 
"Good  Neighbor  Policy."  The 
chief  executives  of  the  two  North 
American  republics  exchanged 
views  on  the  recent  developments 
in  the  world  situation  and  on 
measures  which  might  bring 
about  a  relaxation  of  current  in- 
ternational tensions. 

The  election  of  Hulan  E.  Jack 
as  presiuent  of  the  iviannattan 
Boruugn  marks  tne  first  time 
tnat  a  negro  nas  ever  been  pres- 
ident of  tne  largest  borougn  in

In  tne  sports  world,  J.  C.  Car-

en the  immortal  Red  Grange's 
record  and  Alien  (the  Horse) 
Amecnee's  big  ten  rusning  rec- 
ord of  774  yards.  This  Negro 
athlete  from  Columbia.  S.  C, 
compiled  a  big  ten  rushing  rec- 
ord of  821  yards.  In  spite  of  the 
fact  Caroline  is  only  a  sopho- 
more, I  predict  that  he  will  make 
the  first  All-American  Team. 


THANKFUL  FOR  WHAT

who  had  so  little,  yet  found  it 
in  their  hearts  to  give  thanks 
to  God  for  His  blessings. 

We  should  remember  "the  Fa-

nor Bradford,  who  proclaimed 
the  long-ago  first  Thanksgiving; 
we  should  remember  the  father 
of  our  country,  George  Wash- 
ington, who  was  first  to  proclaim 
Thanksgiving  for  all  the  states. 

Grateful  Americans  should 
never  forget  Mrs.  Sarah  J.  Hale, 
who  worked  so  long  to  make 
Thanksgiving  Day  a  nationwide 
holiday;  she  is  sometimes  called 
"The  Mother  of  Thanksgiving." 

Now  you  should  know  that  for 
which  one  should  be  thankful.

Alter  Miss  Henrice  Thomas  ac-

consisted  of  a  series  of  solos,  both 
instrumental  and  vocal.  The 
queens  were  also  favored  with  a 
beautiful  trio  which  included  a 
violinist,  pianist  and  soloist. 

As  this  gay  affair  neared  its 
end,  everyone  stood  and  sang

HOW    CAN   A    MIND   JUDGE    A 

MIND? 

Farris  M.  Hudson— '55 

Will  you  take  this  great  respon- 
sibility upon  yourself  to  see 
just  what  is  the  mind  of 
man? 

To  solve  this  problem  is  more 
than  thoughts,  blue  prints, 
or  even  drawn  out  plans. 

A  mind  to  judge  a  mind  is  more 
than  the  average  man's  mind 
might  think. 

'Tis  hard  as  taking  water  to  wa- 
ter and  telling  that  water  to 
drink. 

Now  my  friend  do  you  under- 
stand what  I've  said  in  the 
composition  of  these  few 
lines? 

I've  only  asked  a  little  question — 
How  can  a  mind  judge  a 
mind? 

AM  I  A  STUDENT? 

Solomon  Green — '55 
Am  I  a  student,  a  student  I  am, 

or  a  student  I  would  like  to 

be. 
Can  I  get  my  work  or  does  my 

work     get     me     while     my 

thoughts  linger  fancy  free. 
Can  I  strive,  or  reach  my  goal, 

while     only    browsing     over 

state's  green  campus, 
While  others  fight  to  win  that 

prize,  and  my  devoting  half. 

of  my  effort. 

Am     I     here     with     tomorrow's 

thoughts,    which    should    be 

my  ambition. 
Or  have  I  drifted  to  yesteryear. 

a   pessimist    instead    of    an 

optimist. 

Am  I  afraid  to  face  the  facts,  or 

to  accept  God's  world  as  it 

really  is, 
Or  shall   I  continually  lean  on 

my  fellow's  back  instead  of 

independency. 


Am  I  spellbound  by  Ally  Oops, 
Mickey  Mouse  and  other 
comic  features, 

Until  I  fail  to  get  the  point  of 
authors  and  teachers. 

Lord  help  me  to  be  the  student 
that  I  would  like  to  be, 

For  I  am  struggling  day  by  day 
to  reach  a  higher  degree. 

STOP!  THINK!  ACT! 

Nadene  Cooper — '55 
What's    wrong    with    us    upper- 
classmen? 
This  is  one  thing  I'd  like  to 
know. 
Do  we  know  that  the  freshmen 
are  watching, 
And  following  us  where  we  go? 

Are  we  doing  our  part 

To  help  them  find  their  places? 
Have  we  been  thoughtful 

To  learn  all  their  faces? 

We  should  lay  a  pattern 
For  each  of  them  to  follow. 

It  takes  all  this  my  friend, 
To  make  a  first-class  scholar. 

We  should  be  eager 

To  lend  them  a  helping  hand. 
Now  we  may  wonder  why, 

Later,  we'll  understand. 

Let  us  wake  up 

And  begin  to  do  our  part. 
Let  us  do  our  best 

To  give  the  freshmen  a  start. 

If  they  should  make  an  error 

Or  make  a  bad  name; 
Can  we  speak  against  them 

When    we    are    the    ones    to 
blame? 


The  Atomic  Age  is  generally

this  date  the  first  man-made

The  S.  S.  C.  family  bade  fare-

We  hated  to  lose  Mr.  Carr  and

Before  Mr.  Carr's  departure

Our  Center — 

Since  the  opening  of  our  Col- 
lege Center  there  seems  to  have 
been  careful  planning  of  what 
should  go  on  within  to  appro- 
priately accompany  the  name 
change  from  "Inn"  to  "Center." 
Under  the  supervision  of  the  Of- 
fice of  Student  Personnel,  a  So- 
cial Educational  Program  has 
become  active  in  the  Center. 

During  the  school  hour  the 
program  is  on  Monday,  Wednes- 
day and  Friday  from  1:30  to  2:15 
and  on  Tuesday  and  Thursday 
evenings  from  6:00  to  7:00. 
These  evening  programs  are  un- 
der the  supervision  of  Mr.  Nel- 
son Freeman  and  Mr.  Walter 
Mercer.  ,  t 

Tins  program  is  designed  to 
• nhance  the  social  growth  of  all 
lie  students  of  Savannah  State 
<_'ollege.  The  Personnel  hopes 
that  it  will  help  to  make  a  well- 
.  mnded  person  socially  as  well 
;  educationally  of  all  Savannah 
E  mate's  students. 

The  Personnel  invites  all  or- 
:  mizations  on  our  campus  to 
i  ike  part  in  the  afternoon  or 
.ening  programs. 

There  will  be  a  variety  of  pro- 
■  ams  and  some  strictly  educa- 

>nal. 

Dunng  the  past  weeks  these 
:-ograms  have  been  very  educa- 
onal  and  social.     I  hope  that 

,e  students  will  gain  some  form 
enjoyment  from  them. 

On    November    11.   which   was 

mistice  Day.  Miss  J.  G.  Sellers 
i  :ve  an  inspiring  talk  on  "Date 
r  ata."    Miss  Sellers  brought  out 

■  -ry    clearly    many    interesting 
!  >ints.    Some  were:  not  to  take 

>ur  dating  too  seriously,  be- 
muse every  girl  or  boy  you  meet 

■  uldn't  turn  out  to  be   a  big 
1  ling  in  your  life;   try  to  know 

:  any  types  well;  because  before,, 


These  social  educational  pro- 
grams are  set  aside  for  you  to 
help  you  grow  both  educationally 
and  socially. 
Assembly  Hour — 

Our  assembly  hour,  which  is 
held  each  Thursday  at  12:00, 
convenes  at  this  time  to  give  in- 
formation to  the  students  re- 
garding the  school  set-up  and 
school  activities.  It  provides  the 
means  by  which  students  can 
hear  different  speakers  and  re- 
ceive many  other  kinds  of  im- 
portant information  that  they 
would  not  hear  otherwise. 

As  well  as  giving  information, 
it  is  a  training  source  in  that  it 
gives  the  students  experience  in 
appearing  before  the  public 
which  helps  to  develop  poise, 
good  speaking  and  many  other 
desirable  qualities. 

We  have  naa  many  interesting 
programs  during  the  past  weeks; 
among  them  was  tne  Spninx 
uiuo  s  program. 

In  this  program  the  members 
of  the  bpiitnx  uiub  carried  us 
back  to  aays  ot  old.  Mr.  ueorge 
Jonnson,  acting  as  Master  of 
Ceremonies,  gave  us  a  Dnei  sum- 
mary oi  our  Ancestry.  Miss  -tier- 
menia  Mobley  sang  two  breath- 
taking songs,  Noooay  Knows  tne 
Trouoie  I've  Seen  and  You'll 
Never  Walk  Alone.  Mr.  Curtis 
Cooper,  one  of  the  big  brothers 
of  the  Sphmxmen.  sang  Ole  Man 
River  wmle  Thomas  Johnson,  a 
very  talented  young  man,  gave 
his  interpretation  of  the  song  in 
dance.  Then,  too  soon,  the  pro- 
gram was  over  and  we  were 
brought  back  to  reality. 

Programs  of  this  type  and 
many  otners  are  those  that  tend 
to  build  us  up  into  well-rounded 
young  men  and  women.  There 
are  numerous  of  other  reasons 
why  we  have  an  assembly  hour 
but  consider  these  and  attend 
each  Thursday  at  12:20. 
Old  Faces— 

Lately,  many  visitors  came  to 
our  campus.  Some  of  them  were:

Mercedes  Mitchell — '54 

Some  folks  in  looks  take  so 
much  pride,  they  don't  think 
much  of  what's  inside. — Bangs. 

Corduroy  and  velvet,  along 
with  knit  seems  to  be  quite  fash- 
ionable this  year.  Be  wise, 
ladies,  be  the  clever  shopper,  use 
good  taste  but  don't  be  elaborate. 
Seek  the  washable  corduroy  and 
velvet  accessories  to  complement 
your  outfit.  These  fabrics,  to  an 
extent,  are  year  'round,  so — a 
hint  to  the  wise  .  .  .  purchase 
garments  that  may  be  tubbed. 

Then  ladies  remember  ...  a 
well  dressed  young  lady  must  be 
well  groomed.  Check  the  finger 
nails  and  polish,  carry  a  suede 
brush  in  your  purse,  a  compact 
with  the  necessary  utensils  and 
above  all,  a  handkerchief.  The 
little  things  of  life  are  the  im- 
portant ones. 

Yes,  Men;  this  includes  you.

one  autnor  pointed  out,  it  is  the 
one  in  wnich  you  meet  most  peo- 
ple. So,  be  caretul  in  your  choice 
of  clothes — checks,  stripes  and

solid  sweater,  blouse  or  the  like. 
Remember— The  zenith  of  wom-

RECEPTION  FOR  ARTISTS  AT  COLLEGE  CENTER 


Culture  at  Our 
Fingers'  Tips 

By  Joseph  Brown — '57 
A  large,  fashionably  dressed 
crowu  gatnereu  at  meiurim  Audi- 
torium on  iNOvemoer  J,  193J,  to 
witness  a  great  concert,  our  first 
lyceuui  program  oi  tne  year,  rea- 
lureu  in  mis  concert  were:  uer- 
aluine  Overstreei.  soprano;  Rob- 
ert Mcrerrin,  baritune;  Amelia 
Myers,  accompanist. 

Miss  Overstreet  received  nu- 
merous    applause,     wnen     sne 

opened  the  program  witn  "Dove 
bono,"  trom  "ine  Marriage  of 
Figaro,"  by  Mozart.  Sne  has  had 
no  uinicuity  in  launcning  a  ca- 
reer on  several  fronts.  Following 
her  Cnicago  debut  in  1946,  sne 
appeared  as  soloist  with  the  Chi- 
cago Symphony  in  1947.  Substi- 
tuting at  the  eleventh  hour  for 
Dorothy  Maynor.  she  won  cheers 
from  an  audience  of  3,000  people 
in  Minneapolis. 

The  singing  of  Robert  McFer- 
rin  is  one  of  the  few  real  thrills 
in  music  today.  The  great  young 
baritone  possesses  a  voice  of 
soaring  splendor,  used  to  perfect- 
tion  throughout  its  phenomenal 
range.  To  his  rich  native  en- 
dowment as  vocalist  and  artist, 
Robert  McFerrin  adds  an  excep- 
tional personal  intensity  and 
dignity  which  stamp  his  singing 
as  unforgettable.  He  attended 
Fisk  University  for  one  year;  he 
then  began  his  study  at  Chica- 
go's school  of  music.  He  has  had 


lead  roles  in  "The  Green  Pas- 
tures" and  in  "Lost  in  the  Stars." 
He  was  the  first  Negro  artist  to 
perform  in  "Rigoletto"  in  this 
country.  Mr.  McFerrin  feels  that 
Metropolitan  Opera  is  something 
great  for  him.  He  also  stated 
that  he  has  been  working  toward 
this  goal. 

After  the  concert,  the  reception 
was  held  in  the  college  center. 
Everyone  was  served  delicious  re- 
freshments, and  met  the  stars. 

This  was  a  great  experience  in 
which  we  had  the  pleasure  of 
witnessing  a  concert  of  superb 
performance. 

Your  columnist  wishes  the 
stars  much  success  in  the  future.

Old  Friends  to  Trust!  Old  Books 
To  Read!    Alonzo  Aragon 


The  Yuletide  season  brings 
good  cheer  to  the  library.  It's 
a  time  for  taking  from  their 
niches  all  those  old  but  priceless 
pieces  of  our  literary  heritage. 
The  Story  of  Christmas  is  stilt 
being  written,  but  none  surpass- 
es the  beauty  of  the  stories  told 
many,  many  years  ago. 

All  of  us  have  read  our  Bible 
story  of  The  Wise  Men,  Very 
few  of  us  have  read  and  com- 
pared the  Revised  Standard  Ver- 
sion of  the  Christmas.  Now  is  a 
good  time  to  make  our  obser- 
vations on  this  modern  language- 
translation. 

An  unusual  book  for  everyone 
at  Christmas  is  M.  L.  Becker's 
Home  Book  of  Christmas.  It 
contains  the  best  of  the  season- 
al stories  by  distinguished  au- 
thors. The  book  is  arranged  in 
sections  following  the  events  of 


Christmas:  Christmas  Eve,  The 
Magi;  The  Preparations;  The 
Waits ;  The  Great  Day :  The 
Stockings;  The  Tree;  The  Din- 
ner. It  Is  rich  in  carols,  songs 
and  poems  for  each  group.  This 
title  is  recommended  for  first 
purchase  to  anyone  wishing  an 
all-in-one  Christmas  book. 


Charles  Dickens's  Christmas 
Books  contains  the  universal 
Christmas  story — "A  Christmas 
Carol;"  "The  Chimes"  and  "The 
Cricket  on  the  Hearth." 


Washington  Irving's  chapters 
in  his  Sketch-buok  describing  an 
old  English  Christmas  can  be 
reread  annually:  "Christmas," 
"The  Stage  Coach,"  "Christmas 
Eve,"  "Christmas  Day"  and  "The 
Christmas  Dinner." 


Savannah  State 

Into  its  Biggest  Building 

Program  in  Years 

Traveling    around    the    campus    of    Savannah    State    College,  \ 
Georgia's  largest  institution  of  higher  education  for  Negroes,  one 
can  see  a  dream  coming  true,  five  construction  projects  already 
initiated.     The   ground  has  already  been  broken  and   land  being 
leveled  for  the  annex  to  the  famous  Wilcox  Gymnasium. 

This  annex  will  make  it  possible  for  a  larger  and  better  Health 
and  Physical  Education  program.  It  will  supplement  the  gymnastics 
facilities  and  make  it  possible  for  more  modern  gymnastic  operators 
and  a  better  gym  for  intramural,  as  well  as  intercollegiate  compe- 
tition. The  Shatter  Construction 
Company  of  Hinesviiie,  has  al- 
ready set  up  their  office  on  the 
campus  and  construction  is  pro- 
ceeding as  rapidly  as  humanly 
possible. 

L^Ftfe  Century  Heating  Plant, 
located  between  Camilla  Hubert 
Hall  and  Meldrim  Auditorium,  is 
nearer  completion,  with  pipes 
being  laid  connecting  the  plant 
with  the  numerous  campus 
buildings.  This  will  enable  Sa- 
vannah State  College  to  have  a 
uniform  heating  system  and 
equipped  with  modern  heating 
machineries.  Thomas  Bretting-  (^Tffe  annex  to  Hammon  Hall 
ham  and  Company  of  Augusta  has  already  taken  form.  This 
is  constructing  the  heating  construction  is  being  directed  by 
plant.  the     Office     of     Buildings     and 


Work   Progressing 

The  work  on  the  New  Men's 
Dormitory,  opposite  Jlill  Hall,  is 
progressing  very  rapidly.  The 
foundation  and  pillars  for  three 
floors  have  already  been  com- 
pleted. Byck  Worrell  Construc- 
tion Company  is  building  the 
New  Men's  Dormitory.  This  new 
dormitory  will  help  supplement 
the  dormitory  facilities  at  Sa- 
vannah State  College  and  it  will 
be  equipped  with  modern  furni- 
ture, making  the  Men's  Dormi- 
tory more  home-like  and  con- 
venient. 


Henry  Van  Dyke's  Story  of  the 
Other  Wise  Man  is  reread  every 
holiday  season  with  continued 
appreciation  and  understanding. 

From  now  until  December  26 
no  new  book  could  be  more  at- 
tractive than  these  old  favorites. 
The  week  after  Christmas  most 
of  us  can  find  some  time  to 
catch  up  on  new  books  we  in- 
tended to  read  but .    So  shop 

around  at  your  library  and  check 
out  for  the  holidays  books  you'd

The  Meaning  of  God's  Gift  to  the  World 


"Glory  to  God  in  the  highest, 
and  on  earth  peace,  good  will 
toward  men-"  Christmas  is  a  day 
designated  in  remembrance  of 
the  birth  of  Christ.  The  day 
that  a  gift  for  the  entire  world 
was  presented. 

This  divine  present  was  ac- 
cepted in  a  stable  in  the  little 
town  of  Bethlehem.  The  mean- 
ing of  God's  gift  cannot  be  over- 
emphasized because  of  the  sig- 
nificant part  that  it  plays  in  our 
world  of  chuos.  The  gift  of 
which  Isaiah  spoke:  "For  unto 
us  a  child  is  born,  unto  us  a  son 
is  given:  and  the  government 
shall  be  upon  His  shoulder:  and 
His  name  shall  be  called  Won- 
derful, Counsellor,  The  Mighty 
God,  The  Everlasting  Father.  The 
Prince  of  Peace." 

Jesus,  the  Son  of  God,  was  the 


gift  to  the  world.  He  was  born 
in  a  lowly  manger,  lived  in  poor 
surroundings  and  grew  up  in  a 
confused  world  attempting  to 
establish  the  high  ideal  of  peace 
and  good  will. 

Christmas  is  a  time  when  we 
as  universal  brothers  should  bury 
all  thoughts  of  hatred  and  strife; 
lay  down  our  arms,  our  doubts, 
and  look  forward  to  an  everlast- 
ing life  of  peace  and  good  will. 
Peace  and  good  will  are  the 
fundamentals  of  the  gift  of  God. 
The  singing  of  Christmas  carols, 
the  sending  of  seasonal  cards 
and  the  giving  of  gifts  will  in- 
still in  us  the  meaning  of  God's 
gift  to  the  world. 

The  Tiger's  Roar  staff  wishes 
you  a  Merry  Christmas  and  a 
Happy  and  Prosperous  New  Year! 


What  Christmas  Should  Mean  to  Us 


I  wonder  if  we  really  under- 
stand the  true  meaning  of 
Christmas.  Is  it  just  another 
holiday,  a  day  for  frolicking  and 
having  a  good  time?  We  seem 
to  embark  upon  the  Yuletide 
Season  with  little  or  no  knowl- 
edge of  its  significance  and  what 
it  should  mean  to  us. 

Christmas  Day.  December  25, 
has  been  set  aside  as  the  birth- 
day of  Jesus,  "the  Saviour"  of  the 
world.  Everywhere  this  day 
should  be  a  day  of  worship, 
prayer,  and  glorification  to  Jesus 
Christ.  Certainly  it  is  a  day  of 
celebration  but  not  the  kind  to 
which  we  have  become  accus- 
tomed. We  should  thank  God 
for  sending  to  us  His  Son.  Jesus, 
who  came  to  save  the  world. 
Then,  too,  we  should  give  thanks 
to  God  for  enabling  us  to  have 


Doris  A.  Sanders,  Copy  Edit 

the  privilege  of  enjoying  another 


Christmas  Day.  When  the  shep- 
herds saw  the  star  which  led 
them  to  Jesus,  "they  rejoiced 
with  exceeding  great  joy." 

Let  us  make  this  Christmas 
a  glorious  day.  Let  us  bow  our 
heads  in  sincere  prayer  and  re- 
solve to  give  to  God  this  com- 
plete day  of  worship  and  every 
day  that  follows. 

Let  us  sing  as  the  angels  sang, 
"Peace  on  earth  good  will  to 
men"  and  make  our  Christmas, 
not  just  another  holiday,  but 
the  birthday  of  Jesus  Christ.  Let 
us  he  guided  by  that  same  star 
the  shepherd  saw  in  the  east 
and  guide  our  lives  to  Christ  and 
His  teachings.  And  as  we  enter 
upon  a  New  Year,  let  us  con- 
tinue to  keep  Christ  in  our  lives. 


A   Christmas  Message 


It  is  always  a  pleasure  to  ex- 
tend greetings  to  the  students 
of  Savannah  State  College  at 
Christmas  time.  At  no  other 
time  during  the  academic  year 
are  hearts  and  attitudes  better 
conditioned  to  the  finest  ideals 
of  our  culture.  It  is  a  time  when 
one  remembers  friends  and  those 
who  are  in  need.  It  is  a  time 
also  when  individuals  broadcast 
wishes  of  joy  to  all  men  alike 
irrespective  of  relationships.  If 
this  spirit  of  Christmas  were  not 
so  fleeting,  and  if  it  could  be 
retained  by  some  means  through- 


out the  year,  the  joy  of  living 
would  be  immensely  enhanced. 
While  the  students  of  Savannah 
State  College  are  observing  and 
celebrating  the  1953  Christmas, 
it  Is  my  wish  that  they  may  de- 
vise ways  and  means  of  increas- 
ing the  longevity  of  this  inter- 
est in  the  fellowman.  May  a 
greater  portion  of  this  Christmas 
remain  with  you  and  make  our 
college  and  world  a  greater  joy 
to  mankind. 


The  Why's 

of 
Christmas 

Ruby  Simmons  '54 

Shirley  Jenkins  '54 

We  believe  that  people  usually 
misinterpret  holidays  because 
they  do  not  understand  why  we 
should  celebrate  them  or  in  what 
activities  we  should  participate. 
When  people  understand  one  or 
both  of  these  factors  concerning 
international  holidays,  the  cele- 
bration of  them  will  be  quite  dif- 
ferent. 

Christmas  is  an  international 
holiday  that  is  often  misused. 
Do  you  know  why  Christmas  is 
celebrated — carols  are  sung,  dec- 
orations used,  gifts  are  given? 

It  is  said  that  Christmas  has 
a  two-fold  significance:  the  re- 
ligious, commemorating  the 
birth  of  Christ,  and  the  social  or 
festive  aspect,  celebrating  the 
seasonal  practices  of  many  peo- 
ple. Christmas,  originally 
"Chris  tes  Masse"  i  meaning 
Christ's  Mass  or  church  festival 
of  Christl,  is  celebrated  through- 
out the  Christian  world  as  the 
anniversary  of  the  nativity  of 
Christ. 

One  of  the  most  charming 
ways  of  celebrating  the  holiday 
is  the  custom  of  singing  carols 
Carols  were  imported  into  Eng- 
land soon  after  the  Norman  con- 
quest. The  word  "carol"  means 
almost  any  Christmas  hymn. 
The  first  carol  was  written  by 
Francis  of  Assisi  in  1223  as  a 
means  of  singing  praises  to  God 
for  giving  us  Christ. 

The  custom  of  decorating  trees 
and  using  other  decorations  at 
Christmas  time  came  from  the 
Germans.  Boniface,  who  was 
sent  there  as  a  missionary  in 
the  eighth  century,  replaced  the 
sacrifices  to  idols  by  a  fir  tree 
adorned  in  tribute  to  the  Christ 

Child. 

The  giving  of  gifts  at  this  time 
began  when  God  gave  the  world 
His  only  begotten  Son,  on  the 
day  we  call  Christmas  Eve.  Later, 
on  the  twelfth  night,  the  three 
kings  offered  the  Holy  Child 
gifts  of  gold,  frankincense  and 
myrrh.  Christ  eventually  gave 
His  own  life  to  save  the  world. 
In  an  attempt  to  acknowledge 
the  greatness  of  the  Divine  Gift, 
His  followers  marked  this  sea- 
son by  a  general  practice  of  ex- 
changing  gifts.

Christmas 
Thoughts 

Solomon   Green    '55 

I  can  imagine  small  children 
preparing  to  hang  up  their 
stockings  for  Santa  Claus;  col- 
lege students  doing  their  last- 
minute  shopping;  loaded  buses 
and  taxis  zooming  away  with 
the  students  homeward  bound. 
All  seem  to  be  determined,  hope- 
ful and  aiming  for  the  same 
goal — that  of  reuniting  with 
friends  and  relatives  back  home. 
Christmas!  Christmas!  A  happy 
time  for  everyone.  Think  how 
monotonous  college  life  would 
become  if  we  did  not  have  such 
a  holiday. 

But  remember  that  wherever 
we  go  someone  will  be  watching 
us.  caring  for  and  protecting  us. 
I  speak  of  Jesus.  Let  us  not 
forget  that  upon  this  day  in 
Bethlehem  of  Judea,  a  child, 
Jesus  Christ,  was  born  to  the 
Virgin  Mary  in  a  stable  because 
there  was  no  room  for  them  in 
the  inn.

LOST  VENTURE 

By  Julius  Edward  Reeves,  Jr. 
'54 
When  I  have  given  my  love, 
And     gained     only     solitude     in 

return, 
1  find  myself  in  a  mist 
Of  weariness. 

Nothing  but  loneliness  am  I 
Webbed     in,     to     dampen     the 

threads 
Of  life  witn  burning  tears. 
I  endeavor  to  accomplish 
High  esteem  in  my  venture 
For  a  romance, 
But  never  have  I  found 
A  part  of  my  ideal  companion 
In  any  of  my  escapades. 

Nearest  to  this  was  you, 
But  in  our  relations,  you 
Seem  to  depart  from  me. 
Dauntlessly,  I  trust  my 
Unmatched  love 
In  you. 

And  probably — unconsciously 
I  am  left  to  ponder 
In  a  web  of  dreams, 
Never  ending  in  happy  moments. 
The  only  loving  moment 
I  share  with  you,  is  when 
I  partake  to  unite  my  love 
To  its  matured  state  in  the  high- 
est 
Esteem  of  life. 

After  this  aire  of  joy, 
All  is  done,  and  that  web 
Of  loneliness  closes  me  out 
In  a  world  of  my  own. 
In  this  world,  if  you  but 
Knew  that  there  is  no  greater 
Love  than  My  love  for  you. 
My  darling.  My  darling, 
I  love  you  much. 
So  much,  'till  in  my 
Solitude,  I  find  happiness 
While  I  spin  the  thread 
Of  this  moistened  web, 
In  which  I  live  to  build 
A  dream  life  for  you, 
And  only  you. 

In  this  out-moded  life, 

To  my  best,  I  shall 

Perfect  in  a  sort  of 

Utopia,  those  ideas  I 

Assume  portray  you  most. 

In  my  utmost  ability, 

It  shall  be  yours,  and  yours  for 

keeps. 
A  surface  of  marble, 
Walls  of  gold 
And  a  roof  to  compete 
With  the  sun. 
You  see,  my  love 
This  web  is  built  for  you, 
And  its  composition  must 
Comfort  your  love. 


Completed  my  task 
In  an  aimless  venture, 
I  shall  ascend  to  the  Gods, 
To  the  star  of  Venus  that 
Guided  me  in  life, 
Where  I  shall  find  no 
More  solitude,  and   my 
Web  of  moistened  thread  fades 
away. 


CHRISTMAS  MELODIES 

Farris  M.  Hudson  '55 
Oh  dear  hearts,  can   you  guess 

what  I  hear? 
Sounds,  along  the  course  of  the 

air. 
Melodies,  from  the  breath  of  the 

falling  snow 
Bring  joy  and  happiness  of  the 

season's  show. 

I  wonder  why  are  the  stars  so 

bright? 
And  the  melodies  I  hear  are  so 

soft  and  light? 

So  you  do  understand  as  I  can 

see  by  your  smiles. 
The    melodies    are    in    honor   of 

the  little  Christ  Child. 

Joy   is    imparted    to    all    of   the 
trees 

By  the  glorious  sounds  of  Christ- 
mas melodies. 


A   HINT  TO  THE  WISE 

Nadene    Cooper    '55 
Face  life  with  dignity. 
Solve     your     problems     without 

grief. 
In  life's  journey  there  is  misery. 
Strive,  you'll  find  relief. 

Don't    sit    on    the    stool    of    do 

nothing 
Because  things  don't  come  your 

way. 
If  you  are  to  succeed  in  life, 
You  must  work  day  by  day. 

When    hard    problems    confront 

you. 
Don't    try    solving    them    with 

doubt. 
Your  job  is  never  completed, 
Until  you  have  worked  them  out. 

If  you  are  to  go  forward  in  life 
You  must  forever  do  your  best. 
Through  trials  and  tribulations, 
You  will  achieve  success. 


And  when  I  shall  have

PEN 


To  you,  who  have  "crossed  the 
burning  sands"  during  probation 
week,  we  take  this  time  to  con- 
gratulate you.  Although  at  times 
you  seemed  to  have  wanted  to 
turn  around  and  not  complete 
the  journey,  the  urge  to  keep 
going  was  back  again  and  final- 
ly it  was  completed.  Now  I'm 
sure  you  can  all  look  back  and 
say,  that  it  was  worth  the  effort 
mid  time  that  were  spent  for 
that  glorious  hour.  Again  we 
iongratu!ate  you. 

The  spirit  of  Christmas  has  en- 
tered  the  hearts  of  all  Savannah 
State  students  and  we  are  now 
i  oking  forward  to  the  end  of 
i  lie  quarter  when  we'll  be  going 
home.  The  Christmas  Spirit  has 
t  many  of  us  to  singing— "I'll 

Home  for  Christmas." 
I  wish  you  all  a  very  Merry 
Iiristmas  and  Happy  New  Year, 
nd  when  we  all  return  I  trust 
nr  New  Year's  resolution  will 
.■  to  study  hard  for  better 
;ades. 

The  Mistletoe— 
When  we  are  home  for  Christ- 
jjs  and  mistletoe  is  hanging 
ound,  do  we  really  know  why 
's  there?  Mistletoe,  a  little 
How-green  plant  with  waxen 
irries,  is  often  nailed  up  over 
'Ors  and  around  the  house  for 
coration  at  Christmas  time. 
During  ancient  times  the 
i  ruids,  a  powerful  religious  group 
ancient  Gaul,  Britain,  and 
eland,  believed  that  mistletoe 
is  sacred,  and  gathered  it  in 
solemn  ceremony.  The  Saxons 
*  old  England  also  prized  it  and 
warded  it  as  a  symbol  of  peace, 
lien  warriors  found  it  growing 
ear   a    place   where   they   were 


fighting,  they  would  declare  a 
truce.  And  thus  it  became  the 
custom  to  hang  the  plant  over 
the  entrance  of  doors  as  a  sym- 
bol of  friendship  to  all  who  en- 
tered it.  If  we  are  under  mistle- 
toe today  with  loved  ones,  the 
tradition  is  a  kiss. 

What  happens  to  us  in  De- 
cember? Wny  are  we  full  of 
laughs  and  happiness  and 
gaiety?  Aileen  Fisner  said  that — 

In  December 
Everyone  is  merry  now. 
Lo  walking  down  the  street 
And  twinkly  eyes  and  winkly  eyes 
Are  all  the  eyes  you  meet. 

Everyone  is  eager  now 

To  shop  and  trim  a  tree, 

And  knowing  smiles  and  glowing 

smiles 
Are  all  the  smiles  you  see. 

Everyone  is  jolly  now, 
This   tingly-jingly  season. 
And  only  cats  and  puppy  dogs 
Can't  understand  the  reason. 

Everywhere  there  is  hustling 
and  bustling  as  we  all  get  ready 
for  the  big  day.  Gay  carols  are 
sung  and  heard  everywhere.  De- 
licious smells  of  plum  pudding 
come  from  the  kitchen  and  mys- 
terious-looking packages  appear 
and  disappear.  Christmas  is  a 
wonderful  time! 

In  all  the  excitement  of  the 
holiday  many  of  us  are  apt  to 
forget  the  meaning  of  Christmas. 
Chirstmas  is  the  celebration  of 
the  birth  of  Christ.  It  is  be- 
cause of  His  greatness  and  the 
joy  that  He  brought  to  us  that 
we  remember  His  birthday. 

A  gift  for  your  family  and 
loved  ones  will  be  more  than  a 
gift  because  your  Christmas  gift, 
if  you  plan  and  make  It.  is  really 
you. 

Again.  Merry  Christmas! !

tributed and  are  still  contrib- 
uting much  toward  the  cultural 
development  of  Savannah  State

that  Delta  women  possess  schol- 
arship, leadership,  talent  and 
charm, 

Merry  Christmas  and  Happy

Omega  Psi  Phi  Fraternity 
Alpha  Gamma  chapter  of

Leisure  Wear 
Glamor   giants   take   lead 


de- 


signs for  loafing 

The  current  television  era  with 
its  emphasis  on  "at  home"  en- 
tertaining has  touched  off  a  pop- 
ular trend  toward  glamorous 
lounging  clothes  that  are  com- 
fortable and  yet  attractive 
enough  to  wear  in  greeting  the 
most  discriminating  of  guests. 

Designers  from  coast  to  coast 
have  pulled  every  trick  out  of 
the  bag  to  create  fascinating 
styles  in  lounging  clothes  and 
have  designed  glamorous  pants 
that  are  strikingly  feminine. 

Pants  are  being  made  of  every- 
thing from  fine  laces,  velvets 
and  chiffons  to  denims  decorated 
with  jewels.  Styles  vary  from  the 
simple  slack  type  to  the  gay  and 
fascinating,  tapered  bull  fighter 
pants.  While  there  is  a  number 
of  plain,  quiet  styles  in  subdued 
colors  which  can  be  worn  every- 
day and  washed  easily,  many  a 
modern  woman  prefers  the  num- 
erous gay  loud  patterns — leopard 
skin  prints,  and   zebra  stripes. 

For  the  woman  who  does  not 
have  the  figure  for  the  narrow 
toreador  pants,  designers  have 
created  attractive  styles  in  pleat- 
ed pegtops,  bell  bottoms,  culottes 
and  pedal  pushers.  There  are 
also  clever  lounging  costumes  in 
felt  and  jersey  versions  of  robes 
and  skirts  to  add  even  more 
variety. 

The  Silkiest  Season 

The  thrill  of  this  winter's  eve- 
ning fashions  seems  to  lie  in  a 
beautiful  form  of  hide-and-seek 
around  the  top  of  cocktail  and 
evening  dresses. 

New  designers'  devices  to  con- 
ceal yet  reveal  are:  the  casual 
looking  but  deftly  planned  drap- 
ing, the  rib  length  jacket  that 
hides  a  strapless  dinner  sheath 
beneath,  more  important  sleeves 
that  reach  up  to  the  shoulder 
tims  and  imposing  collars  that 
accentuate  the  bosom  but  de- 
murely stop  right  at  the  shoulder 
line. 

Even  the  glamorous  ball  dress. 
despite  its  strapless  formality  of 
past  years,  often  takes  wide 
camisole  straps,  giant  stoles  or 
diagonal  straps  over  one  shoulder 
with  the  other  bare. 

newcomers  are  Johnnie  H.  Mo- 
ton,  Nathan  S,  Mitchell,  and  Levy 
N-  Taylor,  Jr.  We,  as  Omega 
men,  are  welcoming  the  neo- 
phytes to  an  organization  that 
is  developing  and  achieving  from 
the  inspiration  received  from  our 
four  cardinal  principles — Uplift, 
Scholarship,  Perseverance  and 
Manhood 

We.  as  a  fraternity,  believe  in 
a  strong  brotherhood,  and  one 
that  is  stable.  And  as  we  ap- 
proach this  Yuletide  season,  we 
admonish  you,  too,  to  be  brother- 
ly  toward  your  colleagues, 
friends,  classmates  and  instruc- 
tors. 

Zeta  Phi  Beta  Sorority 
Rho  Beta  chapter  of  Zeta  Phi 
Beta  sorority  has  begun  making 
definite  plans  for  activities  dur- 
ing the  current  school  year.  Per- 
haps the  most  interesting  plan  is 
the  sponsoring  of  a  "Girl  of  the 
Year."  This  young  woman  must 
possess  all  of  the  qualities  that 
Zeta  stands  for — finer  woman- 
hood, sisterly'  love,  scholarship 
and  affable  personality. 

At  a  recent  meeting  the  chap- 
ter had  as  its  guest  Soror  Anita 
Stripling,  Basileus  of  the  Alpha 
Theta  Zeta  chapter  of  Savannah. 
Soror  Stripling  brought  news  of 
the  regional  meeting  of  the  so- 
rority and  suggestions  for  our 
year's  activities. 

Rho  Beta  has  added  two  mem- 
bers to  its  sisterhood.  They  are 
Barbara  Brunson  and  Cylde  Fat- 
son.  Our  sponsor  this  year  is 
Miss  Madeline  Harrison.

HERE'S  TO   VETERANS 
James  C.  Cooper 

The  Veterans'  Club,  after  hav- 
ing organized  under  the  advisory 
of  Mr.  N.  R.  Freeman,  has  already 
gone  a  long  way  in  the  school 
year.  We  are  quite  satisfied  with 
our  choice  for  president  for  this 
year,  Mr.  James  O.  Thomas.  He 
is  a  veteran  of  some  six  years' 
service  in  the  Army,  having  at- 
tained the  rank  of  Tech  Ser- 
geant. This  alone,  supported  by 
such  a  brilliant  showing  of  the 
club  in  the  homecoming  festival, 
is  indicative  of  his  capabilities 
as  a  leader.  Mention  cannot  be 
made  of  all  Mr.  Thomas  has 
already  contributed  toward  mak- 
ing the  club  a  success.  Our  presi- 
dent may  easily  be  considered  as 
having  a  versatile  character;  he 
can  be  as  shrewd  or  sympathetic 
as  necessity  may  deem.  We  are 
looking  forward  to  a  prosperous 
year  under  his  leadership.  Other 
officers  are :  Messrs.  Herman 
Terry,  vice  president;  Willie  B. 
Hooks,  secretary;  Henry  John- 
son, treasurer;  Harold  Duggins. 
financial  secretary;  John  Paul 
Jones,  parliamentarian. 

The  club  wishes  to  thank  Miss 
Francine  Ivery  most  sincerely 
for  being  its  queen  on  home- 
coming. We  are  concentrating 
on  a  more  impressive  way  of 
showing  our  gratitude. 

The  Veterans'  Club  wishes  to 
induce  the  membership  of  as 
many  veterans  as  possible — and 
that  should  be  all  who  are  en- 
rolled at  the  college.  Very  soon 
we  hope  to  see  a  comfortable 
percentage  of  the  veterans  as 
bona  fide  members.  Plans  are 
now  being  drawn  to  organize  a 
"pool"  that  might  offer  pecuniary 
aid  to  deserving  veterans  at  vari- 
ous times.  Such  will  receive  a 
minimum  interest  and  only  the 
entire  club  can  benefit  by  it. 

It  might  be  interesting  to  note 
that  the  V.A.  is  not  concerned 
with  whether  you  change  your 
MAJOR  or  not,  as  long  as  your 
curriculum  is  leading  to  a  B.  S. 
or  A.  B.  degree  and  can  be  got- 
ten within  the  time  allotted  you. 
So,  if  you  want  to  change  your 
major  from  Chemistry  to  Ele- 
mentuary  Education,  it  may  be 
done  without  consulting  the  V.A. 


and  you  will  not  have  used  your 
authorized— ONE  CHANGE  OF 
PROGRAM. 

The  S.  L.  A. 

The  committee  of  the  Student 
Loan  Association  has  been  de- 
lighted in  serving  the  students 
of  Savannah  State  College  and 
hope  you  have  enjoyed  the  serv- 
ice. 

Nevertheless,  we  would  appre- 
ciate it,  if  more  students  would 
purchase  stock.  As  you  know, 
through  your  purchasing  stock 
enables  the  Student  Loan  Asso- 
ciation to  function.  Please  give 
this  consideration;  for  the  com- 
ing year  we  would  like  to  have 
more  stockholders. 

For  service  or  information, 
please  contact  one  of  the  follow- 
ing persons:  Marie  Barnswell, 
Timothy  Ryals,  Johnnie  P,  Jones, 
or  Mildred  Graham.  Mr.  Ben 
Ingersoll,  advisor. 

Meeting  of  the  Men's  Dormitory 
Counicl 

The  Men's  Dormitory  Council 
met  and  discussed  many  items 
that  are  of  interest  to  the  facul- 
ty members  and  alumni  as  well 
as  the  students. 

The  male  students  are  looking 
forward  to  having  open  house  at 
the  completion  of  the  building  of 
the  new  dormitory.  The  change 
of  laundry  hours  was  discussed. 
The  new  laundry  hours  are  from 
7:30  to  1:30. 

Christmas  carols  were  sung  by 
the  different  groups  in  order  to 
strengthen  the  Christmas  spirit 
among  the  student  body. 

Merry  Christmas  and  a  Happy 
New  Year.

The  Savannah  State  Tigers 
closed  out  the  season  on  Thanks- 
giving Day  with  their  old  tra- 
ditional rival,  Paine  College,  and 
were  defeated  13-0. 

Paine  scored  in  the  first  and 
second  quarters  and  went  on  to 
get  their  revenge  for  the  20-0 
defeat  handed  to  them  by  the 
Tigers  last  Thanksgiving. 

Statistically,  the  Tigers  out- 
played Paine,  but  they  were  un- 
able to  capitalize  on  their  plays 
when  they  counted.  The  Tigers 
made  9  first  downs  to  Paine's  6. 
They  rolled  up  176  yards  rush- 
ing and  84  yards  passing  to 
Paine's  151  yards  rushing  and 
63  yards  passing. 

Five  seniors  on  the  Tigers'

LATEST  COLLEGE  SURVEY  SHOWS  LUCKIES  LEAD  AGAIN 


***!*8C&" 


*^tZ&£>~* 


»>w-iw<*i« 


Last  year  a  survey  of  leading  colleges 
throughout  the  country  showed  that 
smokers  in  those  colleges  preferred 
Luckies  to  any  other  cigarette. 

This  year  another  far  more  extensive 
and  comprehensive  survey  — supervised 
by  college  professors  and  based  on  more 
than  31,000  actual  student  interviews- 
shows  that  Luckies  lead  again  over  all 
other  brands,  regular  or  king  size... and 
by  a  wide  margin.'  The  No.  1  reason: 
Luckies  taste  better. 

Smoking  enjoyment  is  all  a  matter  of 
taste,  and  the  fact  of  the  matter  is  Luckies 
taste  better -first,  because  L.S./M.F.T.- 
Lucky  Strike  means  fine  tobacco.  And 
second,  Luckies  are  made  better  to  taste 
better.  So,  Be  Happy -Go  Lucky!

Not  in  the  Books— 

How  many  of  us  around  the  campus 
have  slopped  to  observe  how  the  mainte- 
nance crew  handles  the  moving  and 
transportation  of  large  equipment 
around  the  campus  with  inadequate  fa- 
cilities and  manpower.  An  interesting 
note  was  seen  while  the  men  were 
moving  frigidaircs,  stoves,  a  thousand 
pound  deep  freeze  and  other  equipment 
out  of  Hammond  Halt  prior  to  renova- 
tion. A  mop— just  a  lowly  scrub  mop 
was  used  lo  pull  the  weight  of  these 
heavy  objects  across  the  floor  and  out 
of  the  building  to  be  hoisted  on  the

I^Keligious  Emphasis 
Week  Scheduled. 

Gloria  E.  Spaulding.  '57 
Annually,  a  week  is  set  aside  to 
place  emphasis  on  religion.  This  is 
a  non-denominational  activity  which 
serves  to  answer  many  of  ihe  perplexing 
problems  with  which  men  and  women 
are  confronted  in  such  a  changing 
world. 

The  week  is  so  divided  as  lo  lake  in 
many  of  ihe  phases  of  religion  in  gen- 
eral. One  of  the  diffcrenl  features  is 
"skeptical  hour"  which  serves  to  answer 
some  of  the  doubters  and  "doubtful 
"Thomases* "   questions. 

Religious    emphasis    week    serves    to 

enrich  the  minds  of  the  young  men  and 
women  attending  Savannah  Stale  Col- 
lege. Gradually,  many  of  them  are  be- 
ginning to  realize  and  appreciate  ihe 
benefits  derived  from  such  a  worth- 
while  activity. 

Young  men  and  women  should  keep 
in  mind  the  Bible  serves  as  our  guide 
to  living  in  a  complex  world.  By  gain- 
ing an  understanding  of  many  of  the 
biblical  passage*  in  the  Bible,  wc  can 
learn  to  appreciate  them  as  we  would 
novels  by  such  authors  as  Frank  Ycrby 
and  Paul  I.  Wellman. 

Support  the  programs  scheduled  dur- 
ing Religious  Emphasis  Week,  March 
7-11.

Patience  -  Virtue 

During  the  recent  constructional  de- 
velopment of  our  college,  we  can  ob- 
serve an  overflow  of  activity  all  over 
the  campus.  Some  of  these  are:  The 
construction  of  a  men's  dormitory;  a" 
annex  to  Wilcox  Gymnasium;  the  build- 
ing of  a  centralized  healing  plant;  an 
independent  water  supply  for  the  col- 
lege; renovations  of  Hammond  and 
Meldrim  Halls. 

Realizing  that  all  of  the  constructions 
just  mentioned  are  for  the  growth  of 
our  institution,  we  should  accept  the 
inconveniences  that  accompany  them  un- 
reluctantly  and  without  hardships  and 
realize  the  value  of  the  things  thai  we 
have  already  and  are  striving  to  pre- 
serve. As  serious  thinking  students  of 
Savannah  State  College  and  prospective 
leaders  of  America,  it  is  our  duty  and 
responsibility  to  look  upon  such  tilings 
as  milestones  of  our  culture  and  ad- 
vancement. 


In  early  childhood,  we  were  taught 
that  the  little  tilings  are  the  essential 
elements  which  constitute  a  firm  and 
solid  foundation  for  happiness  and  pros- 
perity. Why  not  make  this  a  present 
day  application?  This  can  he  done  by 
abstaining  from  those  things  which  con- 
tribute to  the  unattractiveness  of  our 
campus  due  to  construction  construc- 
tion, and  by  perpetuating  within  our- 
selves a  feeling  of  tolerance  and  en- 
durance. 

Truly  ibis  problem  is  a  serious  and 
complicated  one;  yet,  it  can  be  solved 
with  a  little  forethought.  The  best 
way  to  solve  it  is  by  unity.  Wherever 
there  is  unity,  there  is  strength; 
wherever  there  is  strength,  there  is 
power.  Unity,  strength  and  power  yield 
work  and   accomplishment. 

Fellow  students,  let  us  give  this  mat- 
ter consideration.  Our  patience  is  so- 
licited, our  thoughtfulness  will  be  ap- 
preciated and  our  cooperation  is  in- 
dispensable. 


Make  the  New  Year  Prosperous 


By  Marj'  L°'s  Faison  756 
As  New  Year's  Day,  the  first  of 
January  bears  a  prominent  place  in  tin- 
popular  calendar,  it  is  a  custom  for  us 
to  see  the  old  year  out  and  the  new 
year  in  with  the  highest  demonstration 
of  merriment  and  conviviality.  To  hut 
a  few,  the  day  is  a  memorandum  of  the 
subtraction  of  another  year  from  the 
little  sum  of  life.  With  the  multitude, 
the  top  feeling  is  a  desire  to  express 
good  wishes  for  the  next  twelve  months' 
experiences  of  their  friends  and  similar 
benevolence   on    the   part  of   others. 

No  matter  how  successful  we  have 
been  in  the  past  year,  we  look  forward 
to  the  coming  year  with  more  success. 
With  this  in  mind,  wc  should  be  guided 
by  certain  principles. 

The  golden  rull  must  be  followed. 
Under  our  constitution  and  laws,  life, 
liberty  and  the  pursuit  of  happiness  arc 
the  inalienable  rights  of  all  men.  No 
one  has  the  right  to  deprive  another  of 
bis  inalienable  rights.  It  follows  then— 
"do  unto  others  as  you  would  have  them 
do  unto  you." 


take: 


must  not  go  into  partnership  with 
In   a    partnership    the    partners 
pposed  to  work  together  for  the 
interest,   but   with   Satan   as  a 
you   do   all    ihe   work   and    lu- 
re ward. 


Honesty  must  be  practiced.  This  is 
a  i|iieslion  of  character.  The  law  de- 
mands that  all  men  shall  be  honest  hut 
the  maximum  say  it  is  the  "best  policy" 
to  he  honest.  To  be  honest,  truly,  a 
man  must  be  fair  in  everything  that 
pertains  to  his  fellow. 

Finally,  we  must  keep  an  eye  on  the 
future.  It  is  true  that  we  are  living 
in  the  present  but  we  do  not  stop  with 
today  or  stand  still.  The  past  is  dead 
and  we  should  let  the  past  bury  the 
past.  No  one  can  proceed  if  he  must 
start  anew  every  tomorrow  that  comes 
to  him  in  life.  He  must  have  done 
some  tiling  that  can  not  be  completed 
except  in  the  future. 

We  must  shape  events,  our  lives  and 
our   doings   to   make   this   year  a    pros-

Current  News 


Ilj   Thomas  R.  Evans,  '55 

The  announcement  by  President 
Eisenhower  that  tile  United  Stales  is 
willing  to  discuss  a  world  atomfor- 
peacc  pool  plan  with  Russia  slill  holds 
the  spotlight  on  international  news. 

This  proposal  by  the  United  Stales  is 
aimed  at  breaking  tile  long-stnnding 
deadlock  on  ullimale  control  of  the 
atomic  and  hydrogen  weapons  in  war- 
fare. 

I  predict,  that  when  the  Big  Four 
loreign  ministers  meet  in  Berlin  on 
January  25,  they  will  accept  these  pro- 
posals with,   perhaps,    some  changes. 

President  Eisenhower's  Stale  of  the 
Union  message  drew  considerable  criti- 
cism as  well  as  applause.  When  the 
chief  executive  failed  lo  include  recom- 
mendations of  strengthening  civil  rights, 
lie  left  himself  open  for  attack  by  mem- 
bers of  Congress  who  have  been  cham- 
pioning civil  rights  legislation.  In  mak- 
ing proposals  dealing  with  reductions  of 
voting  age,  lax  reductions  and  methods 
of  handling  homefront  communists,  the 
President  made  it  possible  for  other 
fractious  and  cliques  to  form  buttle 
lines  against  him. 

In  the  entertainment  world,  the  sur- 
prise marriage  of  (he  great  Yankee 
Clipper,  Joe  DiMuggio,  to  the  most 
talked  about  female  actress,  Marilyn 
Monroe,  brought  quite  a  surpri-e  lo  the 
American  public.  It  had  been  rumored 
that  the  two  were  engaged.  Will  the 
marriage  be  a  success  or  will  it  follow 
the  general  Hollywood  trend?  Only 
time  will   tell. 

Let's  look  in  on  the  sports  world.  In 
collegiate  liasketball.  Kentucky  still  re- 
mains unbeaten  am!  the  nation's  No.  1 
team.  There  are  two  more  unbeaten 
learns  in  ihe  collegiate  rank.  They  are 
Duqucsnc  and   Western  Kentucky. 

I   predict   that  Duqueene  will   he  na- 
tional   champions    when    the    season    is 
over.     The  "Dukes"  really  have  a  team 
this  year. 
ANALYSIS 

This  is  the  first  of  a  scries  of  articles 
that  this  reporter  will  do  of  this  nature. 
I  hope  that  it  will  benefit  the  social 
science  majors  in  particular  as  well  as 
the  other  students. 

I  believe  that  an  alom-for-peuce  pool 
plan  would  benefit  all  nations.  This 
means  that  no  longer  would  the  threat 
of  atomic  destruction  be  feared.  It 
has  been  established  that  atomic  energy 
can  he  converted  into  useful  purposes 
as  well  as  destructive  ones. 

If  the  Russians  refuse  lo  accept  these 
proposols  by  the  United  States  at  the 
Big  Four  Foreign  Ministers'  conference 
in  Berlin  on  ajnuary  25,  I  am  forced 
to  believe  that  they  do  not  want  world 
peace. 

The  stand  of  the  Administration  on 
tax  reductions,  reductions  in  voting  age 
and  civil  rights  will  be  felt  in  the  com- 
ing Congressional  election.  Some  of 
the  promises  have  not  been  fulfilled. 

The  slight  alteration  in  the  Russian 
foreign  policy  somewhat  sways  the 
American  public  in  believing  thai 
Maleukov  wants  lo  cooperate  with  the 
West, 


Construction   has  begun  on  the  Annex  to  the  famous  Wil

The  Sorors  of  the  Gamma  Upsilon 
Chapter  of  the  Alpha  Kappa  Sorority 
have  begun  lo  administer  plans  for  the 
year  of  1954. 

It  was  the  Sorors'  desire  to  help  make 
Christmas  merry  for  those  persons  who 
were  unable  to  obtain  the  customary 
Christinas  trimmings.  Therefore,  they 
chose  three  needy  families  and  donated 
baskets  of  food  so  that  these  families 
were  able  lo  enjoy  the  riches  of  Chrisl- 

We.  as  sorors,  and  defendants  of 
our  motto  '"Supreme  in  Service  to  All 
Mankind,"  firmly  believe  that  it  is  our 
duly  to  help  those  we  find  in  need. 

We  miss  the  presence  of  four  of  our 
sorors  who  are  performing  student 
teaching  this  quarter.  They  are:  Sorors 
ban  Miller,  Henricb  Thomas,  Beatrice 
Doe  and  Gloria  Chisholm. 

The  Sorors  of  the  Alpha  Kappa  Al-

and  prosperity  throughout  the  New

Books  for  the 
New  Year 

One  of  the  nicest  things  about  our 
New  Year's  resolutions  is  that  they 
show  we  have  taken  time  to  think  about 
our  activities  during  the  past  year  and 
found  them  wanting.  Why  else  would 
we  moke  those  promises  to  do  belter 
work,  participate  in  more  activities  or 
read  more  for  recreation? 

Some  of  our  library  patrons  share 
with  us  their  impressions  of  "The  Best 
Rook  I  Have  Read  This  Year"— 

"I  recommend  lo  all  lovers  of  good 
books  THE  CARDINAL  by  Henry 
Morion  Robinson.  Though  not  a  cur- 
rent best  seller,  it  should  be  a  must 
on  your'  reading  list. 

It  is  a  warm,  human,  well  written 
story'  of  a  Catholic  priest  who  rose 
from  a  humble  beginning  to  a  high 
office  in  the  Catholic  Church  and  be- 
came a  wearer  of  the  red  hat.  The 
muin  character  embodies  qualities  of 
not  one  priest  but  several  priests  who 
in  some  way  left  or  make  an  impres- 
sion upon  the  author. 

Though  written  about  a  Catholic 
priest  this  book  is  by  no  means  wholly 
Catholic  and,  I  am  .ure,  will  be  en- 
joyed by  all  who  read  it. 

1  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  it  is  by 
far  one  of  ihe  best  books  I  have  ever 
read."— Miss  Mildred   E.   Marquis. 


"DEATH  HE  NOT  PROUD,  by  John 
H.  Gunlher  is  not  the  usual  type  of 
biography  that  is  read  every  day,  but 
the  memoir  of  Mr.  Gunther's  son  who 
has  passed  through  the  gates  of  the 
Eternal. 

Mr.  Gtinther  combines  all  of  the 
facts  of  his  son's  life — before  and  dur- 
ing the  long  years  of  illness  .recover)', 
and  the  time  of  his  death. 

Truly,  this  biography  was  superbly 
written,  and  I  advise  all  literary  en- 
thusiasts who  have  not  read  this  book 
to  read  it  and  see  if  they  don't  feel 
a*  I   did." — George  Johnson. 


"For  the  more  mature  mind  CLARA, 
by  William  L.  Coleman,  is  an  excellent 
novel  of  race  qualities  rather  than  race 
prejudices  Out  of  ihe  heat  and  vio- 
lence of  ihe  smalltown  South  comes  this 
story  of  a  'mouldering  struggle  be- 
tween servant  and  nn-tress  for  the  love 
and   life  ol   one  weak,  drink-sick  man. 

This  i-  a  book  ibal  you  will  long 
remember," — Mrs.    Daisy   Fruser.

Alfredo  Campoli  in  Initial  U.  S.  Performance 


Joseph  Brow

"Music  hath  churm  to  soothe  the 
savage  breast  .  .  ."  On  January  18, 
1954,  we  were  honored  with  a  wonderful 
concert  given  by  Mr.  Alfredo  Campoli, 
"herculcs  of  violinists,"  accompanied  by 
Mr.  Wilton  Mason. 

Mr.  Campoli  is  among  the  greatest 
violinists  of  our  lime.  A  studenl  of  bis 
father,  violin  professor  and  leader  of  the 
Santa  Cecilia  Conservatory  in  Rome, 
Campoli  began  his  concert  career  in 
London  when  he  was  only  ten  years 
old.  Within  three  years,  he  won  ten 
music  prizes  and  five  years  later  won 
the  coveted  Cold  Medal  of  the  London 
Musical  Festival  for  his  performance 
of    the    Mendelssohn    Concerto. 

Campoli  is  today  one  of  the  great 
European  violinists.  He  bus  been  guest 
soloists  under  the  batons  of  such  fa- 
mous conductors  as  Beccham,  Ward, 
Boul   and   Susskind.     The  virtuoso  has

—That  received  a  big  kiss  from  L.  W. 
after  the  game  Wednesday.  January

— -That  walks  around  the  campus  no

that  she  carried  so  long  for  J.  M.? 
Is  it  you  D.  D.? 


toured  the.  British  Isles,  the  European 
Continent,  Australia  and  New  Zealand. 
Famous  for  his  amazing  technique,  the 
beauty  of  his  tone  and  his  penetrating 
interpretations,  Campoli  will  be  a  wel- 
comed addition  lo  the  American  concert 
world. 

The  program  began  with  Sonata  in  G 
Minor  (The  Devil's  Trill)  by  Giuseppe 
Tartini.  Music  was  superbly  played 
that  ranged  from  the  17th  to  the  20th 
centuries.  The  program  was  climazed 
with  La  Campanella  by  Nicolo  Pagani- 
ni-Kreisler.  The  applause  encouraged 
ihe  virtuoso  to  return  with  a  modern 
day  encore. 

Mr.  Campoli  has  several  concerts  to 
give  before  returning  lo  England.  We 
were  fortunate  because  we  were  among 
the  first  in  the  United  States  to  hear 
him. 

After  the  concert,  Mr.  Cumpoli  and 
Mr.  Mason  autographed  progams  for 
enthusiastic    concert    goers. 


—That  constantly   cuts  her  Math   class 

to  be  with  W.  W.?     Is  it  you  D.  C? 
—That  has  finally  hooked  a  boyfriend? 

S.    E.,  is   it  you? 
—That     injured     half     the     basketball 

team  lo  make  an   impression  on   the 

coach?     Is  it  you  R.  P.? 
—That    lives    in    Camilla    Hubert    Hall 

and  plays  Indian  all  night  long— the 

whooping  and  yelling  I  mean?  Could 

it   be  the  famous  "F.  T.'s"? 
—That    has   started    this    red-head    epi- 
demic? 
—That   thinks   he  is   the   coolest   thing 

on  the  campus?     Is  it  you  I.  I.,  S.  M. 

or  N.  M.? 
—That    has   a    perfect    physique    for   a 

little  man?     Is  it  you  R.  P.? 
— That  is  the  biggest  little  man  on  the 

campus?    J.  A.,  is  it  you? 
— That    has    captured    the    heart   of   A. 

M.?     Could  it  be  ihe  girl  with  the 

perfect  "S"  on  her  arm? 
— That    is    the    creative    man    of    the 

campus?     T.  J.,  is  it  you?

Religion,  Key  to  Better  Living1 


Theme  of  Religious 

Emphasis  Week  at  SSC 


Interesting  Highlights 

of  Observance,  March  7-11 


The  theme  for  Religious  Em- 
phasis Week  this  year  is  "Reli- 
gion, Key  to  Better  Living."  Keys 
will  appear  in  the  College  Corner 
Shoppe,  B.  J.  James',  The  Col- 
lege Center  and  other  sections 
of  the  campus.  Leon  Jones  is 
busy  getting  the  keys  ready  for 
the  Week. 
Administrative   Officers   All   Out 

to  Cooperate  With  Religious 
Emphasis 

All  of  the  administrative  offi- 
cers of  Savannah  State  College 
have  been  working  with  the  Re- 
ligious Emphasis  Week  Commit- 
tee to  insure  a  suitable  atmos- 
phere for  worship  and  study  in 
religion. 

Coach  T.  A.  Wright  scheduled 
his  basketball  games  in  such  a 
manner  that  no  games  will  be 
played  during  Religious  Empha- 
sis Week  and  has  consistently  re- 
fused to  make  any  changes  that 
will  conflict  with  The  Religious 
Emphasis  Program.  Also,  Regis- 
trar Ben  Ingersoll  has  for  two 
years  adjusted  pre-registration 
to  the  Religious  Emphasis  Week. 

President  W.  K.  Payne  has  ad- 
justed the  faculty  meetings  to 
the  advantage  of  Religious  Em- 
phasis each  year  since  he  has 
been  in  office.  Dean  T.  C.  Meyers 
has  scheduled  final  examinations 
to  the  advantage  of  the  Religious 
Emphasis  Program  this  year. 

The  Choir  Will  Be  in  Church  for 
Religious  Emphasis  Week 

Dr.  Coleridge  Braithwaite  has 
agreed  that  the  college  choir 
will  sing  for  Morning  Worship 
during  Religious  Emphasis  Week. 
The  religious  life  program  for 
this  term  has  no  plans  for  regu- 
lar appearances  of  the  choir  in 
Morning  Worship. 
Retreat  to  Be  Early  This  Year 

The  retreat,  an  outstanding 
feature  of  Religious  Emphasis 
Week,  will  be  held  early  in  the 
morning  this  year.  According  to 
Harold  Duggan,  Chairman  of  the 
Retreat  Committee,  it  is  hoped 
that  the  worship  service  and 
breakfast  can  be  over  in  time 
for  the  participants  to  be  back 


on  the  campus  and  in  class  at 
9:00  A.M.  Students  with  8:20 
classes  and  who  anticipate  going 
on  the  retreat  should  see  Rev. 
A.  J.  Hargrett  on  Wednesday. 
Popularity  of  Religious  Empha- 
sis Week  Program  Due  to  Ef- 
forts of  Reverend  Arm- 
strong 
The  present  popularity  of  Re- 
ligious Emphasis  Week  at  Savan- 
nah State  College  is  due  largely 
to  efforts  of  a  man,  known  by 
but  few,  if  any,  of  the  present 
students  of  Savannah  State  Col- 
lege. It  was  Reverend  Ernest 
Armstrong,  College  Minister  in 
1948-49,  who  changed  the  pat- 
tern of  Religious  Emphasis  Week 
observances  that  had  been  wit- 
nessed by  the  students  and  fac- 
ulty. 

In  the  meantime,  Mr.  Arm- 
strong applied  to  the  University 
Christian  Missions  for  a  mission. 
The  mission  was  granted,  and 
during  the  second  year  of  the 
college  pastorate  of  Reverend 
Andrew  J.  Hargrett,  officials 
from  the  University  Christian 
Mission  came  to  the  campus  and 
enlarged  on  the  pattern  initiat- 
ed by  Mr.  Armstrong. 

It  was  Lee  Mark  Daniel,  a  '53 
graduate,  who  took  the  week  over 
as  a  student  project  and  greatly 
enhanced  the  administration's 
respect  for  the  ability  of  stu- 
dents to  engineer  such  an  im- 
portant activity. 
All  Social  Education  Programs  to 
Be  Dedicated  to  Religious 
Emphasis 
According  to  Nelson  Freeman, 
Assistant  Counselor  of  Men,  all 
of  the  Social  Education  Hours 
will  be  centered  around  Religious 
Emphasis.  On  Monday,  the  Sun- 
day School  will  present  a  panel 
discussion,  entitled.  "Religion, 
Key  to  Effective  Living."  On 
Tuesday.  William  Bowen,  Direc- 
tor of  Audio-Visual  Aids,  will 
present  a  movie  entitled  "Walk- 
ing With  God."  Wednesday's 
Social  Education  Hour  will  be 
turned  over  to  the  guest  of  the

Dr.  William  J.  Faulkner,  Reli- 
gious Emphasis  Week  Speaker, 
for  Savannah  State  College  for 
the  term  1952-53,  has  left  Fisk 
University  to  accept  the  pastor- 
ate of  a  Congregational  Church

Dr.  Faulkner  was  Dean  of  Fisk 
University  when  he  came  to  Sa- 
vannah State  College. 

Business  Places  to  Share  in 
Religious   Emphasis  Week   Spirit 

Three  commercial  businesses 
and  the  College  Center  have 
promised  support  of  the  ap- 
proaching Religious  Emphasis 
Week  for  1953-54  school  year. 

Frank  Tharpe,  owner  of  the 
College  Corner  Shoppe,  and  B.  J. 
James,  proprietor  of  B.  J.  James' 
Confectionery,  have  pledged  to 
place  keys  in  their  places  of  busi- 
ness to  remind  the  students  of 
the  theme,  "Religion,  Key  to  Bet-

made  a  similar  pledge  for  the 
College  Center.

The  Doctor 
and  God 

By  S.  M.  McDew,  Jr., 
College  Physician 

In  the  beginning  there  was 
God.  To  those  men  and  women 
engaged  in  the  sciences,  particu- 
larly medicine,  there  has  always 
been  a  gap  between  science  and 
religion. 

When  God  created  man,  He 
made  him  master  of  all  things 
on  the  face  of  the  Earth. 
Through  man's  ingenuity,  skill, 
and  creative  ability,  we  have  the 
telephone,  telegraph,  radio,  tele- 
vision explosives,  A-Bomb,  H- 
Bomb  ah-  craft,  and  other  Inven- 
tions and  discoveries.  Specifi- 
cally with  regard  to  medicine,  we 
have    such    aids    as    anesthesis, 


REVEREND  W.  E.  CARRINGTON— Guest  speaker  for  Religious 
Emphasis  Week,  1954.  Mr.  Carrington  holds  the  A.B.  degree  from 
Livingstone  College,  M.A.  and  B.D.  degrees  from  Oberlin  Graduate 
School  of  Theology  and  the  S.T.M.  degree  from  Union  Theological 
Seminary,  New  York.  He  has  had  wide  experience  in  the  field  of 
religion,  having  served  on  the  faculties  of  Livingstone  College  and 
Howard  University.  At  present,  he  is  pastoring  St.  Catherine's 
AMEZ  Church  of  New  Rochelle,  N.  Y. 

Why  Student  Council  Supports 
Religious  Emphasis  Week 

TIMOTHY  U.  RYALS,  President.  Student  Council 
In  a  world  of  turmoil,  confusion,  and  doubt,  we  find  a  week  of 
meditation  very  helpful  and  inspiring.    The  Student  Council  realizes 
and  feels  that  religion  plays  a  significant  role  in  developing  the 
whole  individual. 


To  have  faith  in  something  or 
someone,  serves  as  a  stimulus  or 
an  urge  to  help  one  reach  the 
goals  he  sets  and  gives  one 
courage  to  approach  the  ultimate 
goal. 

Religion  is  a  belief  in  God  or 

surgery,  penicillin,  and  varied 
equipment. 

Today,  very  few  ailments  and 
diseases  of  the  human  body  have 
not  been  mastered.  Yet,  science 
is  unable  to  exercise  control 
over  life  and  death.  Therefore. 
we  recognize  an  inadequacy  in 
medicine.  We  are  unable  to  ex- 
plain satisfactorily  why  certain 
scientific  principles  and  theories 
sometimes  fail  despite  all  we 
know  and  do.  As  a  result,  we 
are  forced  to  accept  the  belief 
that  a  supreme  being  is  omnipo- 
tent with  regard  to  mankind  and 
all  elements  of  the  universe. 

I  believe  that  the  true  physi- 
cian is  aware  of  the  need  for 
God's  close  association  in  the 
medical  profession.  Consequent- 
ly, in  all  his  undertakings,  the 
doctor  evidences  a  faith  in  God. 
Prayer,  too,  is  an  essential  tool. 
Faith  and  Prayer  can  be  likened 
unto  a  crutch  used  by  a  lame 
man.  It  is  unnecessary  to  labor 
the  point  that  we  are  instru- 
ments in  His  hands.  Without 
Him  we  can  do  nothing. 


supernatural  powers.  Christian- 
ity is  the  belief  in  Christ  and 
his  teachings.  Most  students  be- 
lieve in  Christ  because  he  was 
a  good  leader,  a  true  friend  and 
kind  to  everyone.  In  order  for  us 
to  be  good  leaders  and  be  suc- 
cessful, we  must  also  possess  the 
desired  qualities — truth,  honesty, 
kindness  and  the  insight  to  help 
mankind  maintain  better  social 
relations. 

The  Student  Council  is  pa- 
tiently awaiting  the  arrival  of 
this  Week,  and  goes  out  whole- 
heartedly to  support  it. 

Review  Of  '53 
Religious  Observance 

By  Elmer  Warren,  '55 
Dr.  William  Faulkner  was  the 
guest  speaker  for  Religious  Em- 
phasis Week  of  1953  at  Savan- 
nah State  College.  It  is  felt 
that  Savannah  State's  future 
leaders  digested  the  enlighten- 
ing addresses  and  speeches  made 
by  Dr.  Faulkner. 

Dr.  Faulkner  stated  that  peo- 
ple, especially  college  students, 
should  be  sensitive  to  the  social 
rights  and  needs  of  others.  We 
should  have  a  capacity  for  inde- 
pendent thinking  and  critical 
evaluation.

Improving  Our  Moral  Life 


Each  year,  a  week  is  set  aside 
to  emphasize  religion.  During 
this  week  our  campus  is  filled 
throughout  with  a  religious  spir- 
it. Programs  based  on  Christian- 
ity and  fellowship  with  God  and 
man  are  presented.  These  pro- 
grams serve  to  enrich  our  minds 
and  perpetuate  our  spiritual 
growth  and  development. 

Even  though  there  is  a  week 
set  aside  solely  for  the  purpose 
of  emphasizing  religion,  it  is  not 
a  wise  idea  to  try  to  improve  and 
make  all  necessary  corrections 
that  are  needed  to  be  made  in 
one  week. 

The  moral  side  of  life  and  the 
social  side  of  life  are  different; 
yet,  they  are  woven  so  closely 
that  they  cannot  be  separated. 
We  are  living  in  a  "Progressive 
Age,"  an  ever  changing  society. 
In  order  to  maintain  our  balance 
and  equilibrium,  we  must  change 


along  with  society.  This  cannot 
be  done  by  merely  modifying  our 
social  characteristics,  but  our 
moral  characteristics  as  well. 

At  this  stage  of  life,  we  should 
realize  that  religion  is  one  of 
the  basic  fundamentals  of  hu- 
man development.  It  stimulates 
our  desire  to  be  respectful;  it 
helps  us  to  develop  a  whole- 
some outlook  on  life,  and  most 
of  all,  it  helps  us  to  get  along 
with  ourselves  and  with  others. 
It  also  increases  our  love  for  our 
Alma  Mater,  in  that  it  gives  us 
a  better  appreciation  of  the  op- 
portunities here  at  Savannah 
State  College. 

Don't  let  your  interest  in  im- 
proving our  moral  standards  die 
when  religious  emphasis  week  is 
over.  Instead,  may  it  flame  up 
spontaneously,  warm  the  campus 
atmosphere  and  burn  continu- 
ously. 


Make  Best  of  What  You  Have 


Nadene  Cooper  '55 
Unfortunately,  there  are  no 
two  people  identical.  Each  indi- 
vidual has  individual  character- 
istics or  individual  differences. 
It  Is  up  to  each  person  to  dis- 
cover the  dominant  traits  that 
he  possesses  and  develop  them  to 
the  fullest  capacity. 

Perhaps  you  are  unable  to  be 
a  Marion  Anderson,  but  there  is 
a  need  for  another  Mary  M.  Be- 
thune.  If  you  cannot  be  a  Dr. 
Ralph  Bunche,  then  be  an  Adam 
Clayton  Powell.  There  are  plenty 
opportunities  awaiting  you. 
All  of  us  can  be  great  if  we 


will  only  realize  that  people  sel- 
dom become  great  from  security, 
but  from  risk.  Most  of  us  have 
a  desire  to  become  great,  to  reach 
the  top.  It  must  be  understood 
that  what  we  want  is  at  the  top 
of  the  ladder  and  can  only  be 
obtained  by  climbing  step  by 
step.  There  must  be  special  ef- 
forts made  to  accomplish  any- 
thing worthwhile.  Advancement 
and  prosperity  necessitate  work 
and  making  the  best  of  what  we 
have. 

We  should  give  the  world  our 
best  and  someday  the  best  will 
return  to  us. 


Reading  for  Information  And 
Pleasure 


Solomon  Greene  '55 
Since  the  author  of  any  writ- 
ten material  may  have  more  ex- 
perience about  his  topic  than  we 
have,  we  may  never  understand 
his  topic  as  well  as  he  does,  but 
we  should  understand  the  writ- 
ten work  well  enough  to  make  a 
satisfactory  report.  Reading  for 
information,  obviously,  is  more 
important  and  more  difficult  to 
do  than  reading  for  pleasure; 
therefore,  one  should  strive  to 
learn  the  skill  of  reading  for  in- 
formation first.  Furthermore. 
one  should  always  strive  for  bet- 


ter speed  and  better  comprehen- 
sion, 

As  a  prerequisite  to  good  read- 
ing, a  student  should  possess  a 
good  collegiate  dictionary  and. 
other  than  using  it  to  increase 
his  vocabulary,  he  should  strive 
to  define  and  pronounce  all  new 
words  that  he  encounters.  The 
student  should  have  a  critical 
mind  and  be  able  to  evaluate 
readings  for  what  they  are  worth 
when  reading  for  information, 

Reading  is  one's  ability  to  un- 
derstand the  point  of  or  depict 
the     thought     from     a     written 


News  Analysis 

Thomas  R.  Evans  '55 
ON  THE  BRICKER  AMEND- 
MENT. The  Bricker  group,  most 
of  the  Old  Guard  and  the  isola- 
tionist wing  of  the  Republican 
party,  is  determined  to  curb  the 
executive  power.  The  plan  would 
give  Congress  greater  powers 
than  it  now  has  in  the  making  of 
treaties  and  executive  agree- 
ments. Senator  Bricker  says— 
"the  objective  is  to  prevent  the 
United  States  from  joining  any 
world  government  scheme."  I 
predict  if  any  treaty  powers' 
amendment  is  approved,  Senator 
Bricker  will  claim  political  credit. 
ON  THE  BIG  FOUR  FOREIGN 
CONFERENCE.  I  am  forced  to 
believe  now  that  Russia  is  bent 
on  holding  fast  to  her  position 
in  Europe  even  if  at  the  cost  of 
blocking  agreement  on  Germany. 
At  the  same  time,  she  is  moving 
to  divide  the  West  by  "peaceful 
overtures"  that  have  varying 
measures  of  popular  appeal  for 
the  Western  democracies.

An  application  and  a  bulletin 
of  information  may  be  obtained 
at  any  Selective  Service  local 
board.  Following  instructions  in 
the  bulletin,  the  student  should 
fill  out  his  application  immedi- 
ately and  mail  it  in  the  special 
envelope  provided.  Applications 
must  be  postmarked  no  later 
than  midnight,  March  8,  1954. 
Early  filing  will  be  greatly  to  the 
student's  advantage. 

Results  will  be  reported  to  the 
student's  Selective  Service  local 
board  of  jurisdiction  for  use  in 
considering  his  deferment  as  a 
student,  according  to  Education-

the  meanings  of  words  and  sen- 
tences that  make  up  the  written 
statement,  he  cannot  understand 
the  true  thought  of  the  state-

Concluding  then,  a  person 
must  know  the  meaning  that 
each  word  bears  upon  the  sen- 
tence, and  the  thought  that  each 
sentence  bears  upon  the  para- 
graph. He  must  find  the  rela- 
tionship between  paragraphs.  By 
effectively  exercising  great  In- 
itiative, reading  larger  units  of 
thought,  such  as  the  essays,  short 
stories,  newspapers  and  books, 
will  become  more  informative. 
Reading  for  pleasure,  neverthe- 
less, comes  naturally.  The  read- 
er should  forget  about  facts  and 
information  and  should  relax 
and  try  to  become  absorbed  in 
the  story.  More  exactly,  the 
reader  should  forget  about  being 
critical  when  reading  for 
pleasure.

Valentine 
Nadene    Cooper    '55 

For  years,  we  have  celebrated 
Valentine  without  having  a  clear 
understanding  of  its  meaning. 
We  have  often  said  "Be  my  Val- 
entine" without  thinking  or 
without  actually  knowing  what 
these  words  represent.  When  an 
individual  says  to  another  "Be 
My  Valentine"  the  following 
things  are  implied: 

Be  kind-hearted  and  true. 

Eager  to  share  in  things  that 
I  do. 

Meet    me    half-way,    which    is 

right. 
Yield,  when  you  are  wrong. 

Verbalize,  it  stands  for  self-ex- 
pression. 

Abstain  from  nagging,  it  ruins 
friendship. 

Love  with  sincerity,  it  is  the 
best  policy. 

Elaborate,  when  there  is  need 
for  clarification. 

Never  form  conclusions,  with- 
out sufficient  evidence. 

Try  to  understand,  under- 
standing is  knowledge.' 


Ignore    my    faults,    you    have 

some  too. 
Notice    me,    I    am    not    to    be 

taken  for  granted. 
Encourage  me  to  always  do  my 

best. 

Won't  you  be  a  true  Valentine'1 

The  Coming   Spring 

Solomon  Green   '55 

When    willow    trees    weep    and 

mourn 
It  is  then  that  spring  is  born, 
And  in  minds  love  thoughts  do 

ring 
The  bells  and  joys  of  the  coming 
spring. 

The  coming  spring  is  the  time 

of  year 
That    wedding    bells    ring   with 

other  cheers, 
That    express    the    love    of    the' 

singing  birds 
And    all    of    that,    too.    in    other 

words. 

So  through  the  heart  pierces  the 

sword. 
Blooming  trees  bear  the  load; 
There,  from  nature  we  harvest 

summer  long 
'Til  the  breeze  of  autumn  brings 

leaves  down. 


Manners  Made  Easy 

The  practice  of  good  manners 
is  an  art  which  can  and  should 
be  acquired  by  every  college  stu- 
dent. It  is  very  important  to  be- 
come aware  of  the  correct  thing 
to  be  done  on  all  occasions,  then 
the  performance  of  the  act  is 
very  easily  done.  Good  manners 
are  in  evidence  whenever  one  is 
polite,  courteous  and  thoughtful 
of  others. 

How  often  have  you  wished  to 
be  as  poised  as  your  roommate? 
Or  do  you  wonder  how  a  friend 
of  yours  has  such  a  "way"  with 
the  girls?  Or  do  you  wish  you 
could  always  say  the  right  thing 
just  as  Anne  does?  Some  people 
seem  to  be  born  with  that  inde- 
scribable thing  called  charm. 
Others,  after  much  practice,  are 
often  able  to  acquire  this  asset. 

Your  library  has  several  books 
which  may  help  you  solve  your 
special  problem.  If  you  are  wor- 
ried about  making  introductions. 


how  to  act  when  you  are  travel- 
ing Pullman,  or  when  to  enter  a 
concert  that  has  already  begun, 
why  not  try  one  of  the  many 
etiquette  books  found  on  your 
library  shelves?  Do  you  know 
what  is  expected  of  you  as  a 
week-end  guest?  Do  you  know 
how  to  write  notes  of  congratu- 
lation or  sympathy"1  Are  you  up

answers  to  these  and  many  other 
questions  can  very  easily  be 
found  in  these  books;

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


LOMMTE'S 


There  Are  Balls  and  Balls  But— 

There  is  only  one  Sweetheart 
Ball  of  S.S.C .  and  Monday  eve- 
ning's, February  15,  Ball  was  the 
one  that  topped  them  all.  The 
Ball  began  rolling  when  the  guys 
and  gals  of  S.S.C.  crowded  the 
floor  for  the  most  gala  affair 
since  the  "Western  Hop."  We 
danced  to  the  music  of  the  Ten- 
derly Band. 

Many    were    there    with    their 


sweethearts  by  their  sides  and  in 
their  hearts.  During  intermis- 
sion, Miss  Ann  Pierce,  a  fresh- 
man, was  announced  Miss  Sweet- 
heart and  was  presented  with  a 
box  of  candy  by  the  vice  prexy 
of  the  Student  Council.  The 
Kappas,  not  overlooking  their 
sweetheart.  Miss  Jeanette  Pusha, 
presented  her  with  a  box  of 
candy. 

Interpretations  of  songs  in 
dance  were  done  by  Sarah  How- 
ard, Muriel  Hatton.  and  Thomas 
Johnson.  Two  charming  young 
ladies.  Patricia  Wright  and  Jean 
Huff,  tapped  to  the  music  of 
"Glow  Worm." 


Organization  Highlights 


Here's  to  Veterans 

The  Veterans  Club  would  like 
to  take  this  opportunity  to  wel- 
come those  veterans  who  are 
coming  to  S.S.C.  for  the  first 
time.  For  your  information,  the 
veterans  here  are  organized.  We 
urge  you  to  join  our  organization 
so  that  it  might  benefit  by  what- 
ever you  may  have  to  offer. 
Please  notice  the  bulletin  boards 
for  notices  of  exactly  when  and 
where  we  meet  and  understand 
that  you  are  cordially  invited. 

Any  veteran  who  has  been  dis- 
charged for  any  reason  other 
than  a  dishonorable  one  is  eli- 
gible for  membership.  What 
your  counselor  thinks  of  you  is 
determined  largely  by  whether 
or  not  you  are  a  member  of  this, 
your  own,  organization. 

Have  you  given  any  serious 
thought  to  your  N.S.L.T?  Did 
you  know  that  you  can  get 
$1,000.00  worth  for  only  $.66  per 
month,  or  any  multiple  of  $500.00 
worth  up  to  $10,000.00  at  the 
same  rate?  Then  you  may  pay 
it  monthly,  quarterly,  semi-an- 
nually, or  annually.  After  you 
have  paid  the  premium  for  one 
year,  you  can  borrow  94  of  that 
and  be  compelled  to  repay  only 
the  small  interest.  However,  you 
may  repay  the  principal  when- 
ever you  wish.  If  you  don't  re- 
pay the  principal,  that  much  is 
deducted  from  the  value  of  your 
policy.  Most  of  all,  you  may  se- 
cure a  Form  9-886  from  any  V.A. 
office,  mail  it  to  the  District  Of- 
fice, thereby  authorizing  the  V.A. 
to  deduct  your  premiums  from 
your  monthly  benefits.  Isn't  that 
worth  some  consideration?

Cleveland  Lawrence   '57 

The  members  of  the  Savannah 
State  College  Y.M.C.A.  are  striv-

team  will  play  against  other  "Y" 
teams  both  in  and  out  of  town. 

The  "Y"  debating  team  has 
been  organized  also.  It  will,  from 
time  to  time,  be  debating  some 
of  the  major  questions  that  face 
our  everyday  living. 

The  "Y"  sent  two  delegates, 
Mr.  Clarence  Lofton,  President, 
and  Mr.  Eugene  Issac.  Advisor, 
to  the  regional  council  held  in 
Atlanta,  Georgia,  in  February. 

This  Christian  organization  is 
one  which  you  may  feel  free  to

book.  The  scrapbook  will  be 
placed  on  exhibition  a'  la  fini  of 
the  school  year.  Tout  le  monde 
may  participate  in  and  enjoy 
these  activities. 

Each  seance  of  le  cercle  fran- 
cais is  concluded  with  some  form 
of  social  entertainment.  The  pri- 
mary form  of  entertainment  so 
far  has  been  the  singing  des 
chansons.  Included  among  the 
songs  are:  "La  Marseillaise,"  the 
hymne  nationale;  the  "real 
gone"  "C'est  si  Bon,"  a'  la  Eartha 
Kitt  and  "La  Vie  en  Rose."

The  House  Council  of  Camilla 

Hubert  Hall  has  given  a  series 
of  Social-education  programs  for 
the  development  of  the  residents. 
The  first  program  was  about 
body  care — hair,  skin,  nails,  etc. 

On  February  8,  1954,  at  9:05 
p.m.  there  was  a  demonstration 
given  by  Mrs.  Harriet  Stone  in 
the  Reception  room  of  Camilla 
Hubert  Hall.  Girls  chosen  as 
models  were  Misses  Mamie  Davis. 
Jewell  Miller.  David  Hester  and 
Nell  Washington.  These  girls 
modeled  play  clothes. 

Mrs.  Stone  gave  a  lecture  on 
how  to  wear  foundation  gar- 
ments and  the  importance  of 
good  posture  as  related  to  good 
looks.  After  the  lecture  and  dem- 
onstration, prizes  and  refresh- 
ments were  enjoyed  by  everyone. 

Mrs.  Stone  is  a  former  Home 
Economics  instructor  at  Savan- 
nah State  College.  She  is  now 
an  agent  for  Spirella  and  Deala 
foundation  garments.  These 
commodities  were  used  for  mod- 
eling. Mrs.  Stone  is  presently 
resuming  the  role  of  housewife 
and  mother.  Barbara  Brunson,

Mercedes  Mitchell  '54 


History  repeats  itself  in  every- 
thing-even  fashions.  Many  years 
ago  "spool-heel"  shoes  and  "can- 
can" dresses,  along  with  the  nar- 
row skirts  with  drapes  on  the 
side,  were  greatly  in  demand. 

As  time  marches  on,  these 
same  styles  are  returning  with 
different  names.  The  "can-can" 
dresses,  in  reality,  are  the  bal- 
lerina skirts  worn  with  a  crino- 
line slip;  the  "spool-heel"  shoes 
are  the  famed  capezios;  the  nar- 
row skirts  with  the  drapes  are 
actually  the  same;  however,  the 
silk  scarf  is  rapidly  replacing  the 
primitive  drape. 

Another  feature  which  is 
creeping  into  "Mi'  lady's  "world 
of  fashion  is  the  long  free  flow- 
ing lines  around  the  waist  which 
are  so  reminiscent  of  those 
"roaring  twenties."  To  be  more 
exacting,  it  would  seem  as 
though  the  complete  fashion  era 
was  being  reincarnated. 

With  the  lengthening  of  the 
waist  comes  the  shortening  of 
the  hem,  which  fashion  experts 
predict  will  range  from  fourteen 
to  eighteen  inches  from  the  floor 
this  season. 

Coat  dresses  are  still  at  the 
prime  in  the  season's  run  of  lat- 
est fashions.  This  too,  is  a  de- 
rivative of  the  past— the  old- 
time  "Princess  dress." 

This  season,  the  coat  dress  is 
done  in  smooth,  silky  looking 
wools  and  in  colors  that  are  nei- 
ther light  nor  dark.  They  are 
always  neutral  colors,  often  dark 
neutrals,  importantly  lightened 
with  checks,  tiny  stripes  or  a 
dusting  of  white  threads.  This 
garment  is  often  referred  to  as 
"The  Dress  of  Sophistication": 

Take  good  care  of  your  clothes 
—In  the  fashion  world— History 
will  continue  to  repeat  itself.

James  O'Neal,  Sports  Editor 
The  Savannah  State  Tigers 
came  through  with  flying  colors 
over  Fort  Valley  State  as  they 
won  three  double-headers  from 
the  Wildcats.  The  Savannah 
boys  rolled  over  Fort  Valley  79- 
61;  93-63;  and  68-61;  while  the 
Savannah  Lassies  were  winning 
52-36;  50-36;  and  59-43.  Ru- 
dolph Hardwick  scored  20  points 
to  lead  the  Tigers  for  their  win 
over  the  Wildcats.  Close  behind

Daniels  with  18  and  14  points  re- 
spectively. Leonard  and  Wil- 
liams were  high  scorers  for  the

When  you  come  right  down  to  it,  you 
smoke  for  one  simple  reason  .  .  ,  enjoy- 
ment. And  smoking  enjoyment  is  all  a 
matter  of  taste.  Yes,  taste  is  what  counts 
in  a  cigarette.  And  Luckies  taste  better. 

Two  facts  explain  why  Luckies  taste 
better.  First,  L.S./M.F.T. —  Lucky  Strike 
means  fine  tobacco  .  .  .  light,  mild,  good- 
tasting  tobacco.  Second,  Luckies  are  ac- 
tually made  better  to  taste  better  .  .  . 
always  round,  firm,  fully  packed  to  draw 
freely  and  smoke  evenly. 

So,  for  the  enjoyment  you  get  from 
better  taste,  and  only  from  better  taste,

The  Student  Newspaper 
A  Public  Relations  Agency 

By  WILTON  C.  SCOTT,  Director  of  Public  Relations 

Reprint  from  The  School  Press  Review— February,  1954 

Published   by  The    Columbia  Scholastic   Press   Association, 

Columbia  University — New  TLdtk  City 
Public  Relations  has  been  defined  as  the  art  of  working  effec- 
tively with  people.  It  is  the  tone  of  voice  of  an  institution.  It  tells 
the  public  what  the  school  is  doing  and  it  tells  the  school  what 
the  public  is  thinking.  The  student  newspaper  is  the  voice  of  stu- 
dent expression;    therefore,   one 


of  the  best  ways  to  get  to  stu- 
dents is  by  means  of  the  stu- 
dent newspaper.  In  a  student 
newspaper,  the  students  inter- 
pret their  ideas.  The  school  ad- 
ministrators and  faculty  mem- 
bers, as  well  as  the  public,  can 
learn  what  the  students  think 
through  the  expressions  in  a 
newspaper. 

In  the  production  of  the  news- 
paper students  should  have  the 
opportunity  to  express  them- 
selves freely  on  policies,  objec- 
tives, and  the  school  program. 
Secondly,  they  should  have  fac- 
ulty guidance  but  in  order  for 
the  work  to  reflect  their  think- 
ing they  should  have  freedom 
of  expression.  Each  issue  Oi  the 
newspaper  should  be  planned 
with  the  view  to  the  need  of 
the  over-all  public  relations  pro- 
gram as  well  as  to  the  specific 
job  it  is  to  do  and  the  audience 
for  which  it  is  designed.  There- 
fore, the  students  and  faculty 
advisers  who  help  to  plan  the 
students'  newspaper  should  de- 
cide: "Why  is  the  newspaper 
produced?  Who  will  read  the  in- 
formation? What  is  the  mes- 
sage? How  will  the  presentation 
be  made0  When  should  it  reach 
the  reader?  How  is  it  to  be  dis- 
tributed? 

It  is  very  obvious  that  the 
size  and  type  of  student  news- 
paper will  depend  upon  the  mes- 
sage, the  reader,  and  the  budget 
available.  A  careful  study  should 
be  made  to  determine  the  size 
and  type  of  student  newspaper. 
The  copy  and  pictures  should 
help  drive  home  the  message. 
A  situation  that  might  work  well 
in  one  school  might  not  work 
well  in  another.  In  order  to  at- 


tract a  reader,  it  is  advisable 
to  keep  the  arrangement  simple. 

It  is  good  logic  not  to  assume 
that  your  student  newspapers 
are  doing  the  desired  job.  A  con- 
tinuing evaluation  program 
should  be  determined  by  the 
staff. 

It  is  obvious  that  the  purpose 
of  a  student  newspaper  should 
be:  (1)  to  inform,  (2)  to  inter- 
pret, (3)  to  promote,  and  (4)  to 
record.  A  staff  should  always 
endeavor  to  put  its  best  foot  for- 
ward when  issuing  the  official 
student  publication. 

The  student  newspaper  often 
provides  the  first  point  of  con- 
tact with  people  who  may  be- 
come important  constituents  of 
the  school.  The  appearance  of 
format,  makeup,  and  content  es- 
tablish an  image  of  the  school 
represented.  In  many  instances 
the  student  newspapers  are  the 
official  envoys  of  the  school  for 
many  who  are  already  constitu- 
ents. It  should  be  remembered 
that  the  student  body  says  in

idea  of  some  of  the  media 
through  which  man  expresses 
himself.  We  can  consider  the 
radio  as  one  of  the  media  for 
expressing  man's  knowledge. 
Through  the  influence  of  the 
speaker's  voice,  stressing  force- 
ful persisting  ideas,  one  can  cre- 
ate interest  in  important  topics. 
Interest  in  the  gain  of  social 
and  political  knowledge  is  large- 
ly contributed  to  our  society 
by  the  newspapers  and  maga- 
zines. 

One  of  the  most  recent  con- 
tributions to  free  expression  is 
television;  this  column  would  be 
incomplete  without  including  it. 
Television  may  be  considered  as 
a  combination  of  methods  used 
by  the  radio,  newspapers  and 
magazines  with  the  addition  of 
expressions  through  pictures. 

We  can  see  that  man's  right 


to  gain  knowledge  is  found 
aboundantly  in  our  democratic 
form  of  government.  A  govern- 
ment by  the  people  and  for  the 
people  can  and  will  be  supported 
by  the  motivation  received  from 
the  radio  announcers,  the  picto- 
rial expressions  and  the  hard 
work  of  a  writer.  The  urge  to 
defend  and  protect  our  right  to 
knowledge  and  the  free  use 
thereof  can  never  be  cast  aside. 
It  will  enrich  every  aspect  of 
life,  broaden  our  knowledge, 
light  up  unknown  avenues  of 
thought  and  discover  new  capa- 
ciiies  for  living  and  growing  in 
a  free  society. 

The  youth  of  today  will  be 
tomorrow's  leaders,  politicians, 
teachers,  lawyers  doctors  and 
clergymen.  Youth  should  begin 
immediately  to  develop  creative 
thinking  and  interest  in  work- 
ing out  scientific  methods  for 
solving  problems. 

"Man's  Right  to  Knowledge 
and  the  Free  Use  Thereof"  may 
be  considered  as  the  foundation 
of  tomorrow's  achievements  and 
problems.  You  as  students  are 
the  priceless  few  who  enjoy  the 
freedom  of  a  democracy.  Think 
it  through! 


Keynotes  to  Success 

Mary  Lois  Faison   '54 


The  way  to  success  in  any- 
thing is  always  an  upward  climb, 
the  down  grade  is  always  a  flat 
failure.  In  considering  this  mat- 
ter, it  will  be  well  to  remember 
and  bear  constantly  In  mind, 
that  it  is  easier  to  slide  down- 
hill than  it  Is  to  climb  up. 

Character,  education,  industry 
and  wealth  are  the  successive 
stages  on  the  road  to  success 
and  they  follow  in  their  regular 
order. 

Character  belongs  to  every 
man  individually  and  can  not 
be  copied  from  another.  I  do  not 
know  what  character  is;  I  know 
only  that  it  accomplishes  results. 
Natural  probity  and  Insight  into 
what  you  are  doing — your  trade, 
business  or  occupation,  are  the 
factors  that  compose  character. 
Character  differs  from  reputa- 
tion in  that  a  man  may  have  a 
bad  reputation  and  still  possess 
a  good  character. 
Education  goes  with  character 


and  means  more  than  learning 
or  mere  knowing.  It  means  ca- 
pacity and  ability  to  utilize  what 
you  know. 

Industry  means  diligence  In 
developing  character  and  utiliz- 
ing education  for  all  they  are 
worth.  "The  hand  of  the  diligent 
maketh  rich."  said  Solomon,  He 
also  said,  "The  diligent  gaineth 
favor." 

Wealth  comes  through  the  ob- 
servance of  the  foregoing  and 
certain  things  which  should  be 
added.  For  instance — to  become 
Industrious  you  must  give  your- 
self and  your  fellowman  a  fair 
exchange  of  what  you  receive; 
you  must  watch  your  intellec- 
tual, spiritual  and  worldly  wel- 
fare. 

Progressive  men  must  seek  op- 
portunity which  does  not  come 
of  itself  and  which  was  denied 
them  In  the  past.  You  must 
make  yourself,  and  follow  high 
standards. 


The  Making  of 
a  Veteran 

By  DR.  VERNON  W.  STONE 
Innumerable  requests  have  been 
received  for  the  publication  of  the 
speech    delivered    by    Dr.    Stone    in 
Meldrim    Auditorium,  February  18. 
1954.    The  delivery  was  made  with- 
out   benefit    of    copyt    hence,    the 
to/ 1  owing    excerpt    is    edited. 
A  sobering  influence  Is  being 
exerted  by  veterans  on  campus- 
es     throughout      the      country. 
These  thinking  men  and  women 
are  unwilling  to  accept  "author- 
itative"   views.    They    are    more 
inquiring,  more   inquisitive,  and 
more  practical  in  their  approach 
to  life  and  its  problems.  Accord- 
ingly,    faculty     members     have 
been  forced  to  meet  these  "new" 
individuals.  No  longer  is  the  "es- 
tablished" professor  able  to  lec- 
ture from  ragged,  dog-eared,  yel- 
lowed notes  which  went  unchal- 
lenged by  pre-war  students.  The 
instructor    has    been    forced    to 
publish  a  new  edition.  This  situ- 
ation, of  course,  does  not  exist 
at  S.S.C.;  but  I  assure  you  that 
it  has  been  very  much  in  evi- 
dence at  other  institutions. 

What  is  a  veteran?  Webster 
reports  that  the  word  has  come 
to  us  from  the  Latin  veteranus, 
meaning  "old."  with  the  influ- 
ence of  the  Greek  etos,  meaning 
"years."  Hence,  a  consideration 
of  the  combination  presents  no 
difficulty  in  our  arriving  at  the 
concept  that  a  veteran  is  one 
who  has  had  long  experience, 
and  who,  because  of  that  experi- 
ence, has  become  seasoned  in 
the  occupation  under  considera- 
tion. 

Let  us  consider  some  of  the 
travel  experiences  which  have 
been  provided  our  veterans.  I  in- 
vite you  to  consider  with  me  a 
Negro  serviceman  who  is  being 
drafted  from  Savannah,  Geor- 
gia. Imagine  that  he  is  head- 
ing  northward,   via   rail. 

Washington,  D.  C.  the  nation's 
capital.  Is  on  the  itinerary. 
Upon  arriving  in  Union  Station, 
he  saw  the  building  of  which 
he  had  seen  so  many  pictures. 
There  it  was!  The  Capitol  was 
brightly  lighted,  and  it  assumed 
the  role  of  a  beacon  guiding  all 
who  would  seek  Its  refuge.  Our 
serviceman  walked  toward  the 
Capitol,  and  it  did  supply  a  last- 
ing memory.  He  recalled,  from 
his  American  history  at  Beach 
High  School,  some  facts  con- 
cerning the  development  of  our 
government.  His  mind  went  back 
to  1776.  The  Second  Continental 
Congress  was  meeting  in  Inde- 
pendence Hall,  in  Philadelphia. 
The  Declaration  of  Independ- 
ence, for  the  first  time  In  his 
life,  became  vividly  alive.  Audi- 
bly he  muttered  meaningfully: 
When  in  the  course  of  human 
events  it  becomes  necessary  for 
one  people  to  dissolve  the  po- 
litical bands  which  have  con- 
nected them  with  another  .  .  . 
Indeed  he  was  pleased  with  him- 
self. It  was  readily  apparent  that 
American  history  Is  not  a  fill-in 
course;  it  is  vital,  practical,  and 
inspiring.  He  had  frequently 
confused  this  great  document 
with  the  Preamble  to  the  Con- 
stitution. They  were  now  clearly 
separable.  Again,  his  mind  was 
focused  on  Philadelphia.  This 
time  the  year  was  1787;  the  oc- 
casion was  the  Constitutional 
Convention;  George  Washington 
was  presiding.  Our  Negro  ser- 
viceman spoke  with  all  the  sin- 
cerity which  was  his:  We  the 
people  of  the  United  States,  in 
order  to  form  a  more  perfect 
union,  establish  justice,  insure 
domestic  tranquility,  provide  for 
the  common  defence,  promote 
the  general  welfare  and  secure 
the  blessings  of  liberty  to  our- 
selves and  our  posterity,  do  or- 
dain and  establish  this  consti- 
tution for  the  United  States  of 
America.  He  looked  around  him; 
he  saw  the  Implementation  of 
the  Constitution.  There  was  the 
Lincoln  Monument,  the  Wash- 
(Contlnued  on  Page  4)

Creative  Tributes 


JUST    AN    EXPRESSION 
OF   THOUGHT 

Armanda    Cooper    '55 

While  thinking  of  those  who  ore 
about  to  bid  our  dear  old  Alma  Mater 
adieu  and  enter  into  various  fields  of 
labor.  I  thought  that  I  would  express 
my  sincere  hope  for  them  a  successful 
and  prosperous  future  through  the  let- 
ters  ol  the   phrase.   "Happy  Easter." 

Have  a  heart  that  is  pure,  and 
Appearance  that  is  pleasing, 
Patience  where  children  are  con- 
cerned and 
Politeness  in  speech  and  action. 
You  are  a  guide  that  youth  will 

follow. 
Elevate  good  moral  standards  by 

being  an  example. 
Always  reveal  the  smile  and  hide 

the  frown. 
Sincerity  Is  what  you  may  add, 
Teaching  Is  what  you  multiply. 
Envy  is  poisonous,  you  must  sub- 
tract. 
Respect  for  yourself  and  others 
will  be  divided. 
With    these  thoughts  ever  present  in 
your    mind,     they     will    eventually    be 
transmitted  to  the  heart  and  soul.  Then 
surely    your    profession    will    be    more 
meaningful  to  you.  to  those  you   leach 


SPRING  PROPOSAL 

Solomon  Green  '55 
Beautiful    blooming   springtime 
Gay  birds  sing  and  build  nests 

in  trees, 
Naked    trees    are    clothed    with 

leaves 
And  make  love  to  the  evergreen 

pines. 

Come  to   me   my  darling,  come 

to  me! 
Upon    this    proposal   we   must 

agree 
As  long  as  youth,  we'll  love 

together, 
For    after    youth,    love    comes 

never. 
It  is  spring  time,  can't  you  see? 
Come   to  me  my  darling,  come 

to  me! 

Beautiful  blooming  springtime, 
To  a  lovely  pole  clings  a  vine, 
Thoughts  of  love    fill  many 

minds 
And  lovers  steal  kisses  from 

their  kinds. 
It  is  springtime,  can't  you  see? 
Come  to  me   my   darling,  come 

to  me!

Organization  Highlights 


— Here's  To  Veterans 

This  is  the  turn  of  the  quar- 
ter and  the  veterans'  club  would 
like  to  take  this  opportunity  to 
acquaint  itself  with  all  new  vet- 
erans.   Join  your  club,  men!! 

We  would  like  to  take  this 
time  to  thank  Dr.  V.  W.  Stone 
for  appearing  as  principal  speak- 
er and  guest  of  honor  on  the 
Veterans'  Club  program  on  Feb- 
ruary 18,  1954.  We  believe  that 
Dr.  Stone  related  very  interest- 
ingly the  fine  qualities  and  fac- 
tors that  come  together  to  make 
a  veteran  the  man  that  he  is. 
We  hold  that  we  had  top  choice 
in  this  person,  and  we  are  very 
grateful  for  having  been  able  to 
secure  his  services.  Our  hat  is 
off,  too,  to  Miss  Hermenia  Mob- 
ley  for  her  very  fine  rendition 
which  contributed  so  much  to 
the  character  of  our  program. 

The  Veterans'  Club  observed 
Washington's  Birthday  at  the 
VJVW.'s  Van  Ellison  post  in  Sa- 
vannah. Georgia.  The  occasion 
was  a  huge  success;  final  plans 
were  formulated  for  the  Savan-

riety Revue  will  be  presented  on 


April  21,  1954.  at  7:30  P.M.  in 
Meldrim  Auditorium.  The  par- 
ticipants for  the  Revue  have 
been  contacted  and  looking  over 
the  probable  program,  it  appears 
that  the  Kappas  have  gone  to  a 
great  extent  to  present  the  best 
entertainment  ever  presented  on 
the  campus. 

The  brothers  of  Kappa  Alpha 
Psi  have  chosen  various  young 
ladies  who  are  competing  for 
that  glorious  title  of  "Kappa

ladies  that  they  are  sponsoring 
in  the  contest  and  each  broth-

contestant  will  wear  the  crown. 
The  contestants  are:  Misses  Lois 
Cone,  Hazel  Harris,  Dorothy 
Heath.  Genevieve  Holmes,  Sarah

The  Days 
We  Celebrate 

THE  DAYS  WE  CELEBRATE 

Have  you  ever  wondered  just 
what  provoked  certain  holidays 
that  are  observed  during  the  12 
months  in  a  year— year  in  and 
year  out?  Rarely  does  a  month 
pass  which  does  not  bring  forth 
a  holiday,  feast,  festival,  or  an- 
niversary for  someone.  All  of 
these  spring  from  some  signifi- 
cant event  which  dates  back  into 
the  depths  of  history. 

During  the  month  of  March, 
the  17th  day  is  set  aside  as  St. 
Patrick's  day.  St.  Patrick,  the 
patron  saint  of  Ireland,  has  been 
honored  and  the  anniversary  of 
his  death  has  been  celebrated  in 
America  from  very  early  times. 
This  has  become  such  a  well-es- 
tablished and  joyous  occasion 
that  even  those  who  cannot 
claim  Irish  ancestry  join  in 
"wearin'  o'  the  green"  and  pay- 
ing respect  to  the  immortal 
shamrock. 

The  21st  day  of  March  gives 
us  a  change  in  seasons  and  the 
first  day  of  beautiful  spring. 
This  is  the  day  of  the  vernal 
equinox,  the  point  at  which  the 
center  of  the  sun  moves  across 
the  celestial  equator  from  south 
to  north.  This  marks  the  begin- 
ning of  spring  in  the  northern 
hemisphere.  The  word  "equi- 
nox." from  the  Latin  for  equal 
night,  signifies  the  time  of  the 
year  when  day  and  night  are 
equal.  September  22  brings  forth 
the  Autumnal  equinox  and  the 
same  procedure  holds  true  for  it. 

April  1st  is  a  day  to  which  all 
of  us  look  forward;  it  is  a  day 
set  apart  as  a  time  when  it  is 
permissible  to  play  harmless 
tricks  upon  friends  and  neigh- 
bors. The  impression  prevails 
that  the  custom  has  something 
to  do  with  the  observance  of  the 
spring  equinox.  It  is  of  uncer- 
tain origin,  but  it  probably  had 
its  beginning  in  France  about 
1564. 

Easter  is  celebrated  on  April 
18th  this  year.  It  is  the  princi- 
pal feast  of  the  ecclesiastical 
year.  It  is  now  celebrated  on  the 
Sunday  after  the  first  full  moon 
following  the  spring  equinox. 
Consequently,  Easter  moves  be- 
tween March  22  and  April  25. 
From  1916-1965  it  occurs  forty 
times  in  April  and  ten  times  in 
March. 

These  days  become  more  sig- 
nificant in  our  lives  when  we 
know  their  origins  and  history. 
The  above  mentioned  are  just  a 
few  of  the  "special  days"  and 
they  have  been  presented  main- 
ly because  they  are  celebrations 
we  have  just  observed  and  oth- 
ers which  we  anticipate  in  the 
near  future.

THE    COLLEGIATE    COUNSELORS    FRESHMAN    PROJECT.— 

Members  of  the  freshman  class  enjoyed  an  activity  in  the  College 
Center  that  was  two-fold.  There  was  a  panel,  presented  by  the 
members  of  the  class  of  '57,  followed  by  entertainment— games, 
music,   refreshments,    (Locke   Photo.) 


'The  Velvet  Glove'  A  Great  Success 

picted  the  pleasures  and  sor- 
rows of  spiritual  life.  There  was 
an  understandingly  sympathet- 
ic undertone  that  was  instru- 
mental in  making  the  play  a 
tremendous    success. 

The  cast  of  characters  is  as 
follows:  Mary  Renshaw,  Jean 
Miller;  Sister  Athanasius — Doro- 
thy R.  Davis;  Sister  Lucy,  Ruby 
Bess;  Mr.  Barton,  Thomas  John- 
son; Professor  Pearson,  Johnnie 
Carter;  Sister  Monica,  Pauline 
Silas;  Bishop  Gregory,  George 
Johnson;  Father  Benton,  Melvin 
Marion;  Monsignor  Burke,  Irving 
Dawson. 

Music,  between  acts,  was  ren- 
dered by  Miss  Victoria  Baker. 
Messrs.  L.  A.  Pyke,  V.  W.  Stone 
and  Joseph  Brown. 

Mrs.  Ethel  J.  Campbell,  the  di- 
rector of  the  S.  S.  C.  Dramatic 
Group,  did  a  commendable  job 
in  directing  Casey's  "The  Vel- 
vet Glove." 


The  Savannah  State  Dramatic 
Group  presented  a  play.  "The 
Velvet  Glove,"  by  Rosemary  Ca- 
sey, which  kept  the  capacity  au- 
dience spell-bound.  The  play  was 
presented  on  March  11,  1954.  in 
connection  with  Religious  Em- 
phasis Week  and  certainly  en- 
hanced the  success  of  the  ac- 
tivities for  the  religious  program. 

"The  Velet  Glove"  is  a  comedy 
in  three  acts  and  won  first  prize 
in  a  play  contest  held  by  the 
Catholic  organization  known  as 
"The  Christophers."  The  story 
concerns  a  young,  male,  history 
teacher  in  convent  school,  who 
is  about  to  be  fired  because  a 
rich  contributor  to  the  church 
objects  to  his  liberal  views;  fi- 
nally, the  young  radical  is  recon- 
sidered because  an  even  wealth- 
ier lady  refuses  to  make  her 
pledged  contribution  unless  he 
is  taken  back.

important,  of  all  public  relations 
agencies.

S.S.C.  Boys  and  Girls  Win 
S.E.A.C.  Basketball  Tourney 

JAMES  O'NEAL,  Sports  Editor 

The  Savannah  State  College  Boys  and  Girls  won  the  S.  E.  A.  C. 
basketball  tournament  championship,  which  was  played  in  Wilcox 
Gymnasium  at  Savannah.  The  Savannah  Girls  edged  Florida  Nor- 
mal 37-35  and  the  local  boys  downed  Morris  College.  61-52.

S.S.C.  Boys  Edge  Claflin 
The  Savannah  State  boys  ad- 
vanced to  the  final  by  edging 
Claflin  University,  85-84.  This 
was  one  of  the  most  exciting 
games  at  the  tournament  as  the 
lead  changed  hands  numbers  of 
time.  Savannah  went  in  the 
fourth  quarter  leading  62-60  as 
both  teams  began  to  exchange 
shots  with  each  hitting  most  of 
their  attempts.  With  only  sec- 
onds left  to  play,  Henry  Praylo 
made  two  free  throws  which 
proved  to  be  the  deciding  factor. 
Savannah  State's  Otis  Brock 
was  high  scorer  with  24  points. 
Robert  Lewis  was  close  with  21 
points.  Other  high  scorers  for 
Savannah  were  Noel  Wright.

tice Department,  the  Depart- 
ment of  Labor.  The  buildings 
and  symbols  were  crowding  his 
eyes  faster  than  he  could  iden- 
tify them.  This  day,  our  service- 
man from  Savannah  was  truly 
living  American  history! 

He  sought  one  building  in  par- 
ticular. He  sauntered  down 
Capitol  Street.  Later  he  stood 
before  it.  Imposing  it  was! 
Its  classical  architecture,  with 
fluted  columns  capped  by  Co- 
rinthian and  Ionic  motifs,  fur- 
nished the  inspiration  which 
brought  a  lump  to  his  throat. 
He  reverently  looked  upon  it. 
Yes,  it  was  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  United  States!  Our  Ne- 
gro serviceman  recalled  the 
Dred  Scott  Case  of  1846.  Despite 
the  fact  that  the  decision  had 
been  rendered  against  this  slave, 
there  were  some  recent,  favor- 
able rulings— the  higher-educa- 
tional cases  in  the  Southern 
states,  the  interstate  commerce 
commission  cases,  and  others.  He 
wondered  about  the  impending 
decision  with  respect  to  the 
school  segregation  cases.  What- 
ever that  decision  would  be,  our 
draftee  demonstrated  a  studied 
appreciation  of  the  weighty 
duties  and  responsibilities  of  the 
justices  of  the  Supreme  Court. 
His  thinking  on  this  matter 
brought  him  emphatically  to 
the  conclusion  that  the  vari- 
ous Negro  cases  had  been 
predicated  on  a  common  base. 
That  factor  was  thought  to  be 
the  Fourteenth  Amendment: 
All  persons  born  or  naturalized 
in  the  United  States  and 
subject  to  the  jurisdiction 
thereof,  are  citizens  of  the  Unit- 
ed States  and  of  the  state  where- 
in they  reside.  No  state  shall 
make  or  enforce  any  law  which 
shall  abridge  the  privilege  or  im- 
munities of  citizens  of  the  Unit- 
ed States.

played  a  tight  defense  that  kept 
the  previous  high  scoring  Mor- 
ris team  dow  nto  27  points  in 
the  first  half  and  25  points  in

IR  ALL  A  MATTER  OF  TASTE 


Illi"013 


When  you  come  right  down  to  it,  you 
smoke  for  one  simple  reason  .  .  .  enjoy- 
ment. And  smoking  enjoyment  is  all  a 
matter  of  taste.  Yes,  taste  is  what  counts 
in  a  cigarette.  And  Luckies  taste  better. 

Two  facts  explain  why  Luckies  taste 
better.  First,  L.S./M.F.T.- Lucky  Strike 
means  fine  tobacco  . . .  light,  mild,  good- 
tasting  tobacco.  Second,  Luckies  are  ac- 
tually made  better  to  taste  better  .  .  . 
always  round,  firm,  fully  packed  to  draw 
freely  and  smoke  evenly. 

So,  for  the  enjoyment  you  get  from 
better  taste,  and  only  from  better  taste, 
Be  Happy -Go  Lucky.  Get  a  pack  or  a 
carton  of   better-tasting  Luckies  today.

Language   Arts 
Festival  Held  May  5-7 

Sadie  B-  Carter,  '55 

The  Statewide  High  School  Language  Arts  Festival  was  heio 
at  Savannah  State  College  May  5-7,  1954. 

The  main  purpose  of  the  annual  conference  is  to  develop  greater 
language  competency  among  high  school  students.  The  program  is 

geared     to    stimulate     students'      

creative  ability  in  language;  to 
improve  language  teaching 
through  the  free,  cooperative 
exchange  of  ideas,  information, 
and  materials  among  high  school 
teachers,  consultants,  and  spon- 
sors of  the  festival. 


The  Language  Arts  Festival  is 
planned  as  a  learning  activity  as 
well  as  an  exhibition  of  talent. 

Some  of  the  main  events  that 
took  place  were:  verse  writing, 
creative  prose  writing,  spelling, 
oratory,  current  events  discus- 
sion, one-act  stage  plays,  radio 
skits,  poetic  interpretation,  and 
choral   reading. 

As  an  opportunity  for  teachers 
to  receive  help  with  specific 
problems  in  language  teaching 
and  related  activities,  seminars 
were  planned  in  the  following 
areas:  creative  writing;  the  pro- 
duction of  radio  skits  and  stage 
plays;  the  teaching  of  oral  lan- 
guage; selectivity  in  radio,  press, 
television,  and  motion  picture 
offerings;  poetic  interpretation; 
and  the  training  of  verse-speak- 
ing choirs. 

The  1954  festival  was  one  of 
the  most  interesting  held  at  Sa- 
vannah State  College.  The  plan- 
ning committee  was  headed  by 
Mrs.  Louise  L.  Owens. 


^Iger  's  Roar  Wins  Award 

The  Tiger's  Roar,  official  pub- 
lication of  Savannah  State  Col- 
lege student  body,  was  awarded 
second  place  by  the  Columbia 
Scholastic  Press  Association  at 
Columbia  University  in  its  an- 
nual contest  which  closed  on 
March  12.  Clarence  Lofton,  jun- 
ior, is  editor-in-chief  of  the 
Tiger's  Roar,  and  Miss  Juanita 
Sellers  is  faculty  advisor. 


We'll  Need  a  Little  Help 

On  Wednesday,  April  28th,  a 
special  noonday  assembly  was 
called  by  President  W.  K.  Payne 
for  the  purpose  of  launching  an 
organized  effort  to  clean  and 
maintain  the  campus  grounds. 
The  President's  plan  was  de- 
tailed by  Mr.  Felix  Alexis.  Sup- 
erintendent of  Buildings  and 
Grounds.  Approximately  one- 
half  hour  was  allotted  for  the 
paper-debris  gathering.  Start- 
ling results  were  attained.  Stu- 
dents, faculty,  and  staff  cooper- 
ated as  per  expectations.  There 
is  good  reason  to  anticipate  that 
the  idea  will  continue  vigorously 
in  effect.  Our  current  emphasis 
is  a  phase  of  Governor  Tal- 
madge's  statewide  clean-up 
campaign. 

The  old  saying — One  thousand 
people  may  pass  while  only  one 
may  enter — carries  much  truth. 
Particularly  is  it  applicable  to 
our  present  efforts. 

Even  the  most  distant  visitor 
has  been  heard  to  reaffirm  the 
beauty  of  the  Savannah  area. 
As  far  as  our  campus  is  con- 
cerned, there  are  few  communi- 
ties in  the  world  on  which  Na- 
ture has  smiled  so  lavishly.  On 
every  hand,  the  trees,  the  Span- 
ish moss,  the  flowers,  and  the 
contours  bear  witness  to  this 
fact. 

Who  is  to  keep  the  campus 
clean  and  thus  voice  approval  of 
God's  handiwork?  Obviously 
those  who  enjoy  the  beauty  and 
who  receive  the  credit  for  being 
connected  with  the  naturally 
beautiful  surroundings  should 
assume  this  task.  Keeping  the 
campus  clean  and  attractive  is 
indeed  minor,  In  comparison 
with  the  creating  of  It.     Should 


the  students  aid  in  the  mainte- 
nance? the  faculty?  the  staff? 
Each  response  must  be  in  the 
affirmative!  Savannah  State 
College  is  our  home.  It  is  the 
residence  of  a  student  for  ap- 
proximately four  years,  whether 
he  lives  on  or  off  campus.  The 
average  number  of  years  spent 
in  residence  by  faculty  and  staff 
is  considerably  in  excess  of  four 
years.  From  the  campus  we  de- 
rive more  than  education  on  the 
one  hand  and  professional  status 
on  the  other.  To  it  we  are  ob- 
ligated to  render  more  than 
mere  appreciation  —  something 
in  accord  with  the  benefits 
reaped. 

"What  is  your  major?"  A  stu- 
dent, selected  at  random,  replies 
proudly  that  he  is  in  elementary 
education.  His  training  encom- 
passes far  more  than  the  philo- 
sophy of  education,  the  curricu- 
lum, and  the  psychology  of 
learning-teaching.  Concomitant 
learnings  are  continually  influ- 
encing our  would-be  professional

The  Need  For  Leadership 


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

In  considering  preparation  for 
leadership,  we  pre  to  be  mind- 
ful of  the  qualities  sought  in  a 
leader  —  those  qualities  that 
are  essential  for  effective  leader- 
ship. Some  of  these  qualities 
are:  the  ability  to  think  clearly 
and  logically,  the  ability  to  ac- 
cept criticisms  both  good  and 
bad,  a  feeling  of  security,  a  sense 
of  responsibility,  foresight, 
thoughtfulness,  respectfulness, 
and  freedom  from  prejudices. 
Leadership  also  necessitates  ed- 
ucation. We  must  note  that  an 
educated  person  is  one  who 


ties  just  mentioned  are  not 
usually  inherited,  but  are  de- 
veloped over  a  period  of  time  by 
special  efforts. 

As  the  leaders  of  tomorrow, 
we  should  be  mindful  of  our 
responsibilities.  The  weight  of 
the  world  is  thrust  upon  our 
shoulders,  not  as  scorn  but  be- 
cause we  are  men  and  are  looked 
upon  as  the  most  efficient  char- 
acters in  the  field  of  leadership. 

We  should  face  life's  problems 
just  as  George  Washington  Car- 
ver, Booker  T.  Washington, 
Abraham  Lincoln,  Thomas 
Paine.  Ralph  Bunche,  and  others 
have  done.  These  men  had  and 
have  courage  and  the  will  power 
to  go  forward  —  to  make  this 
world  a  better  place  in  which  to 
live.  Now  it  is  our  task  and 
duty  to  launch  out  and  do  like- 
wise. Are  we  willing  to  do  our 
part,  meet  the  world's  demand 
for  leadership,  and  steer  our  peo- 


capable  of  doing  the  right  thing  J    __ 

at  the  proper  time.     The  quali-"flple  to  safety' 

Children's  Progress  At 
Nursery  School 


Solomon  Green,  '55 
During  a  recent  observation  of 
the  pre-school  children  at  the 
S.S.C.  nursery  school,  we  became 
acquainted  with  many  of  the 
children's  developmental  activi- 
ties that  are  responsible  for  the 
instilling  of  desirable  social 
behavior.  Many  activities  are 
designed  to  motivate  better 
learning  also. 

Miss  Zella  Owens,  the  teacher. 
gives  each  child  her  personal  at- 
tention, understands  each  indi- 
vidual, and  has  succeeded  in 
creating  the  type  of  environ- 
ment which  brings  happiness  to 
everyone. .  The  program  is  flex- 
ible; therefore,  it  adapts  itself 
to  each  child's  needs  as  well  as 
age.  The  children's  ages  range 
from  two  to  five. 

Further,  we  found  that  the 
children  are  being  developed  in  . 
the  following  ways:  socially, 
they  have  learned  to  work  and 
play  together  and  many  are 
striving  for  group  approval ; 
mentally,  the  children  are  be- 
coming more  and  more  alert  in 
simple  problem-solving  and  in 
grasping  new  ideas;  emotionally, 
the  children  are  becoming  more 
friendly  toward  others  and  their 


pent  up  emotions  are  released 
through  play  activities,  thus, 
aiding  them  to  control  their 
tempers  most  of  the  time;  phys- 
ically, they  are  striving  most 
heartily  for  better  muscle  co- 
ordintion  and  better  motor 
skills,  the  boys  especially. 

Savannah  State  College  has  a 
promising  future  generation  of 
prospective  football  and  basket- 
ball players.  We  noticed  some 
good  throwers,  good  punters, 
and  good  catchers  in  this  group. 
The  children  are  striving  for 
and  developing  greater  accuracy 
in  their  learning  and  social 
skills. 


Can  You 

Take  It? 

What  do  you  do  when  your 
errors  are  called  to  your  atten- 
tion? 

ALIBI?  Do  you  blame  the  er- 
rors on  others,  on  conditions  out 
of  your  control,  or  faulty  orders? 

ARGUE?  Do  you  go  on  the  de- 
fensive and  justify  your  work? 

IGNORE?  The  best  way  to  get 
along  Is  to  pay  small  attention

Thomas   Evans,   '55 

The  recent  statement  by  Vice 

President  Nixon — "If  the  situa- 
tion demands  it,  the  U.  S.  might 
have  to  send  troops  to  Indo- 
china"— has  set  the  entire  inter- 
national news  front  aflare.  Indo- 
china is  crucial  to  the  West  be- 
cause a  communist  take-over 
there,  by  military  or  political 
means,  would  increase  commu- 
nist prestige  vastly  and  put  them 
at  the  gateway  to  all  Southeast 
Asia.  As  a  result  of  Vice  Presi- 
dent Nixon's  statement,  the 
question  has  arisen — is  this  "an- 
other Korea?" 

The  European  Defense  Com- 
munity Treaty  is  the  keystone 
of  Western  defense  planning  in 
Europe.  Last  week  in  a  flurry 
action,  obviously  connected  with 
Secretary  Du\les'  trip,  Britain 
and  the  U.  S.  fulfilled  the  de- 
mands made  by  France  and  the 
French  moved  a  step  closer  to- 
ward setting  a  date  for  parlia- 
mentary debate  on  the  treaty. 
E.D.C.  provides  for  rearmament 
of  West  Germany  and  integra- 
tion of  the  West  German  force 
together  with  forces  of  five  West 
European  countries  in  a  unified 
command  under  NATO- 
Delegates  to  the  Georgia 
Teachers  and  Education  Associ- 
ation convention,  which  con- 
vened in  Savannah,  Georgia. 
April  15-16.  adopted  a  resolution 
"to  work  assiduously  for  the  de- 
feat" of  the  proposed  constitu- 
tional amendment  that  would 
permit  the  transference  of  the 
state  school  system  from  public 
to  private  hands.  "This  amend- 
ment will  be  submitted  to  the 
voters  in  the  November  elec- 
tion." the  resolution  said,  "and 
this  organization  urges  its  mem- 
bers to  work  assiduously  for  the 
defeat  of  this  amendment." 

The  national  sports  writers 
have  picked  the  Brooklyn 
Dodgers  and  the  New  York 
Yankees  as  winners  of  the  Na- 
tional and  American  League 
pennants  for  1954.

to  such  criticism.  Nobody  else  is 
likely  to  notice  the  thing.  Why 
get  upset  about  it?  Say  nothing 
and  it  will  be  forgotten.  Every- 
body makes  mistakes.  It's  only 
human. 

GROVEL?  Gosh,  I'm  sorry. 
You  are  wonderful  to  discover 
what  was  wrong  —  I  didn't.  I 
didn't.  I  must  be  off  my  feed. 
I  had  a  bad  night's  sleep.  Please, 
please  let  it  pass  this  time. 

ADMIT?  Admit  the  error!  Say 
you  are  sorry,  and  will  take 
steps  to  do  better,  but  to  do  it 
with  self-respect.  RESOLVE  to 
prevent  future  errors,  but  do  not 
do  much  talking  —  except  to 
yourself.  STUDY  the  error  and 
find  out  why  and  how  you  made 
it,  and  what  means  can  be  taken 
to  prevent  its  recurrence,  RE- 
SOLVE to  be  more  careful,  more 
attentive,  more  persistent,  more 
accurate.  BE  big  enough  to  ad- 
mit it  was  your  error,  and  re- 
sourceful enough  to  do  some- 
thing about  it  in  the  future. 


Creative  Tributes 


That's  Love 


Solomon  Green  '55 
What's  love?  Define,  I'll  try  to 

do 
It's  hard,  so  true. 
But  if  queerly  he  looks  at  you 
And  those  lovely  eyes,  you  look. 

too, 
Were  he  to  go,  you  hope  to  die 
That's  love,  you  can't  deny. 


If  in  the  spring,  you  sing 
The   blues  that  sadness   brings, 
And  to  see  him  you  forget  your 

sadness 
And  are  overshadowed  with 

gladness, 
And  in  his  arms  you  forget 

everything, 
That's  love,  that's  love,  darling. 


The  Road  To  A  Career 


Solomon  Green,  '55 
From  under  the  cloud  the  sun 

comes  shining 
To  brighten  attitudes  that  have 

long  been  pining 
So  look  up  colleagues! 

Upon  your  faults  continue 

mending, 
Upon  S.S.C.  continue  depending. 
We    are    within    sight    of    fewer 

hills  and  windings, 


So  be  not  discouraged  or 
fatigued. 

To  your  friends  continue  send- 
ing 
Beautiful  words  of  cheer 
Be  true,  mistakes  observing, 
Commend  others,  when  deserv- 
ing, 
And  very  soon  your  road  is 

curving 
To  success  and  a  desirable 
career.

THE  BALLS 

Now  that  spring  has  come  in 
with  a  "Zam"  and  the  balls  are 
getting  under  way,  everyone's 
eyes  have  turned  to  love,  laugh-

ourselves  always  gay  and  hap- 
py. I  konw  that  our  next  oc- 
casion will  be  enjoyed  in  the 
Wilcox  Gymnasium. 

The  Veteran's  Club  broke  the 
season  with  the  first  ball  of  the 
year  on  April  28,  and  the  Kappas 
came  back  with  the  ball  to  which 
everyone  looks  forward.  The 
Black  and  White  Ball  was  an 
evening  of  gaiety. 

During  the  evening,  the  Kap- 
pas carried  out  their  usual  tra- 
dition with  dedications  to  the 
Greeks  and  non-Greeks  and 
with  the  singing  of  the  Kappa 
songs  making  an  evening  in 
Black  and  White  one  that  will 
never  be  forgotten. 


Alpha  Phi   Alpha— 

"Manly  deeds,  scholarship, 
and  love  for  all  mankind"  are 
the  aims  of  the  brothers  of  Del- 
ta Eta  chapter  of  the  Alpha  Phi 
Alpha   fraternity. 

iTiie  chapter  has  currently 
sponsored  a  concert  featuring 
Mrs.  Willie  Mae  Patterson  and 
Mr.  Robert  C.  Long,  Sr.  This 
program  was  the  first  of  its  kind 
to  be  sponsored  on  the  campus 
by  any  Greek  letter  organization. 
Mr.  Harold  Collier  was  general 
chairman  of  the  program.  This 
concert  is  only  one  of  the  many 
programs  the  chapter  has 
planned. 

The  members  of  the  fraterni- 
ty are  proud  to  announce  that 
many  of  the  brothers  made  the 
honor  roll  last  quarter. 

The  Spring  Ball  is  predicted 
to  be  one  of  the  most  enjoyable 
of  the  season. 


Delta    Sigma    Theta— 

Delta  Nu  chapter  was  surprised 
and  elated  over  winning  the 
Kappa's  annual  scholarship 
award. 

Probation  week  was  a  memor- 
able one  at  S.S.C.  The  colors 
were  bright  and  the  activities 
interesting  and  entertaining. 
Delta  Nu  added  to  her  roster  the 
following:  Alfreda  Adams.  Jet- 
tie  Adams.  Leona  Bolden,  Julia 
Hendrix,  Genevieve  Holmes, 
Rosa  Penn.  Gloria  Spalding,  and 
Josie  Troutman. 

This  is  the  month  to  which 
every  freshman  "girl"  casts  a 
wishful  eye.  It  is  this  month  that 
Delta  Nu  celebrates  May  Week 
and  makes  the  award  to  the 
freshman  "girl"  who  has  at- 
tained the  highest  scholastic 
average.  An  interesting  chapel 
program  is  in  the  making  for 
the   occasion. 


Savannah  State  College  Dance  Duo  performed  in  Meldrim  Auditorium,  April  16.  1354.  The  Duo 
is  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Geraldine  Hooper,  Instructor  in  the  Department  of  Physical  Education 
Sarah   Howard    (left)   and  Muriel  Hatton  are  the  performers. 


Who  Is  It? 

— That  has  finally  buckled  down 
to  a  steady  girl  friend?  J.  D., 
could  it  be  you  and  is  V.W.  the 

lucky  one? 

—That  took  that  lost  look  out 
of  L.  J.'s  old  flame?  O.  D., 
is  it  you? 

—That  is  having  a  ball  while  his 
girl  friend  is  doing  her  prac- 
tice teaching?  D.  N.,  we're 
wondering  if  it's  you. 

— That  has  gotten  wise  to  N.  W. 
and  has  taken  a  powder?  It 
couldn't  be  you,  could  it, 
L.W.? 

— That  has  been  practically 
blackballed  by  the  girls?  M.  J., 
is  it  you? 

—That  appears  to  be  the  "fa- 
vorite girl"  in  the  eyes  of  W. 
W.?  M.  B.,  is  it  you  and  has 
J.  R.  taking  the  hint? 

— That  is  beginning  to  believe 
her  own  publicity?  P.  R„  is  it

by-products  of  the  larger  aspects 
of  the  educational  training  pro-

embrace  cleanliness,  orderliness, 
neatness,  promptness,  and  other 
factors.  Such  can  be  no  better

teacher's  students  will  be  favor-

Why  We  Have 
Schools 

You  don't  have  to  go  to  school 
to  be  educated.  Just  get  an  en- 
cyclopedia and  digest  the  con- 
tents. When  you  have  finished 
the  job  you'll  have  an  educa- 
tion of  a  sort,  but  you  likely 
will  emerge  a  most  peculiar  kind 
of  person.    You  will  have  knowl- 


but  you  won't  know  how 
to  apply  it. 

We  once  met  a  man  who  could 
do  marvelous  things  with  figures. 
For  example,  he  could  multiply 
six  digets  by  six  digets  in  a  frac- 
tion of  a  minute,  and  do  it  all 
in  his  head.  But  he  had  a  vacant 
stare  and  a  manager. 

Knowledge  is  power,  but  you 
have  to  fit  it  to  the  drive  shaft 


Only  Good  Weather 


Sunshine  is  delicious,  rain  is 
refreshing,  wind  braces  up, 
snow  is  exhilarating;  there  is 
no  such  thing  as  bad  weather, 
only  different  kinds  of  good 
weather. 

— Ruskin

That's  why  we  have  schools  and

What's  Ahead  for  Business 

(Radio  Panel) 

On  Saturday,  May  1,  1954, 
three  out-standing  faculty  mem- 
bers of  S.S.C.  were  heard  in  a 
panel  discussion  on  local  Radio 
Station  WSAV,  an  NBC  outlet. 
The  topic,  "What's  Ahead  for 
Prosperity  or  Reces 


consumer  and  production  goods 
was  recognized,  and  the  possi- 
bility of  its  furnishing  the 
groundwork  for  the  recessionary 
phase,  of  the  business  cycle  was 
discussed.  J 


Business 
sion?."  was  discussed  expertly  by 
Dr.  R.  Grann  Lloyd,  director  of 
the  monthly  radio  broadcast, 
Dr.  Calvin  L.  Kiah,  and  Dr.  Ver- 
non W.  Stone. 

The  pivotal  date  was  recog- 
nized as  mid-1953,  when  the  Ko- 
rean War  was  abruptly  brought 
to  a  halt.  Business  activity  of 
the  first  few  months  of  1954  was 
related  to  the  1953  base  period. 
Some  indexes  which  were  ob- 
served to  have  declined  are  em- 
ployment, gross  national  prod- 
uct, national  income,  spendable 
income,  basic  living  costs,  sales 
in  general,  new  orders,  industrial 
production,  money  in  circula- 
tion, government  expenditures, 
and  imports.  Selected  economic 
barometers  which  showed  an 
advance  are  construction,  gov- 
ernment deficit,  business  expen- 
diture for  plant  and  equipment, 
exports,  stock  market  values, 
wholesale  and  retail  prices,  util- 
ity sales  and  earnings,  and  per- 
sonal income. 

The  discussion  showed  the 
full-employment  characteristic 
of  prosperity  to  be  in  existence, 
with  substantial  improvement  in 
view.  A  decreased  spending  for 


When  the  turn  indicators  are 
analyzed  and  evaluated,  good 
times  are  predicted  by  the  ex- 
pert business  analysts  and  econ- 
omists. Dr,  Lloyd  and  Dr.  Stone 
demonstrated  optimism  and 
agreed  unequivocally  with  that 
consensus.  Dr.  Kiah,  on  the 
other  hand,  registered  pessim- 
ism, but  he  voiced  a  desire  to 
observe  more  convincing  evi- 
dence of  prosperity.

Growth  and  Development 


During  the  past  centuries,  we 
have  observed  the  increasing 
number  of  students  passing 
through  the  halls  of  colleges  and 
universities.  These  men  and 
women  have  ben  cultivated  like 
the  soil  of  the  earth- 
Remembering  a  person  as  a 
freshman  is  different  from  the 
memory  of  a  graduating  senior. 

As  a  freshman,  a  person  may- 
be considered  as  a  seed  being 
planted  into  the  earth  that  it 
may  have  a  chance  for  growth. 
The  student  then  enters  the 
sophomore  and  junior  years  in 
order  to  continue  in  physical, 
social,  religious  and  mental 
growth,  and  he  will  begin  to  de- 
velop a  sound  set  of  values  that 
will  aid  in  his  life's  work. 

The  tempo  of  change  today 
is  a  challenge  to  every  individual 
to  understand  himself  and  his 
world  about  him.  He  must  de- 
velop the  power  to  maintain 
harmony  between  inner  and 
outer  forces.  The  college  student 
is  developing  into  a  potential 
leader  as  well  as  a  follower  in 
the  world;  he  has  first  hand  in- 
formation relative  to  responsi- 
bilities and  problems  of  living 
today.  He  has  a  chance  of  be- 
coming a  creative  citizen  pre- 
pared to  cope  intelligently  with 
new  conditions  as  they  arise. 
Growth  and  development  in  col- 
lege are  essential  foundations  for 


this  creative  citizenship  that  is 
necessary  to  succesful  living  be- 
yond the  college  years. 

The  three  major  areas  in 
which  one  should  grow  and  de- 
velop for  the  betterment  of  him- 
self arid  humanity  are:  Sound 
Philosophy  of  Life.  Through  a 
college  career  one  acquires  tech- 
niques, points  of  view  and  in- 
formation. But  if  a  college  stu- 
dent is  to  develop  to  his  fullest 
capacity  for  the  enrichment  of 
his  philisophy,  he  should  attain 
something  more.  He  should 
strive  for  a  desired  way  of  life 
and  develop  a  system  of  values 
that  maybe  willfully  believed  in 
and  accepted  by  the  individual. 
A  Pleasing  Personality.  Per- 
sonality is  not  developed  merely 
by  going  to  college  or  by  taking 
lessons  in  how  to  gain  friends. 
A  healthy  personality  is  a  com- 
plex structure,  and  cannot  be 
glibly  achieved.  An  effective  de- 
velopment of  personality  may  be 
obtained  by  the  improvement  of 
the  sum  total  of  habits  that  one 
has  formed.  Finally.  Knowledge 
and  Skill.  In  order  to  progress 
successfully  in  life,  one  must 
have  ability  along  with  a  wide 
scope  of  knowledge  that  can  be 
applied  to  everyday  living.  Any 
goal  can  be  attained  if  one  is 
industrious,  ambitious,  and  skill- 
ful in  utilizing  the  knowledge 
obtained  from  a  college  educa- 
tion. 


School  Is  Never  Out 


>A  Reporter's  Views  on 
Commmencement 
Joseph  Brown  '58 

As  the  school  year  comes  to 
an  end,  a  shadow  of  melan- 
choly is  cast  over  the  entire 
campus  Our  beloved  seniors  who 
have  striven  so  hard  toward 
these  final  days  are  planning  for 
graduation. 

Commencement  does  not  just 
mean  the  long  processions  and 
the  series  of  exercises  that  go 
to  make  up  the  commencement 
activities.  Commencement  has  a 
more  significant  meaning.  Let 
us  carefully  analyze  the  word 
and  see  what  it  really  means. 
Commencement  comes  from  the 
Latin  word  commence  which 
means  to  begin;  therefore,  when 
one  graduates  he  has  just  be- 
gun. 

School  is  never  out.  After 
commencement  then  what? 
Some  will  enter  the  various  uni- 
versities where  they  will  secure 
education  that  leads  to  an  even 
higher  degree.     Some  will   take 


jobs  and  will  profit  from  some- 
thing that  they  have  never  ex- 
perienced before.  Some  will  en- 
ter the  various  branches  of  serv- 
ice ;  there,  too,  they  will  have 
new  experiences.  No  matter 
what  field  one  may  enter,  one 
will  still  undergo  some  form  of 
learning. 

Our  education  began  when  we 
were  put  into  this  world  several 
years  ago.  It  is  like  being  at 
the  foot  of  a  ladder,  this  ladder 
is  the  ladder  of  life  and  can 
only  be  climbed  step  by  step. 
Many  times  while  one  is  climb- 
ing, he  faces  numerous  obstacles, 
but  if  the  determination  is  great 
enough,  the  obstacles  are  soon 
cast  aside. 

As  one  reaches  the  top  of  the 
ladder,  he  will  be  able  to  seek 
out  his  future.  As  for  our  grad- 
uates, the  stage  was  set,  and 
they  were  the  players.  They 
must  have  acted  well  their  parts, 
for  they  will  have  gone  another 
step  on  the  ladder  of  life  on 
June  2nd. 


Current  News 


Thomas  R.  Evans,  '55 

Since  the  fall  of  Dien  Bien 
Phu,  much  discussion  has  been 
centered  around  the  interven- 
tion .of  the  United  States  into 
the  Indo-Chinese  war.  Senator 
Knowland.  house  majority  lead- 
er, is  in  favor  of  the  United 
States'  giving  the  French  air  and 
sea  aid  in  fighting  the  com- 
munists. 
McCarthy  ism 

The  McCarthy  committee 
hearings  are  of  no  benefit  to  the 
American  people.  The  commit- 
tee hearings  have  been  success- 
ful only  in  lowering  the  Ameri- 
can prestige  abroad. 

The  question  that  has  arisen  in 
my  mind  is  whether  the  legisla- 
tive   body    is    going    beyond    its 
limitations  or  not. 
Supreme  Court   Makes  History — 

The  recent  ruling  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  outlawing  segrega- 
tion in  public  schools  has  pro- 
voked much  discussion.  The 
south  in  particular,  has  taken 
the  ruling  cautiously  and  calmly 
except  for  Georgia's  governor, 
Herman  Talmadge,  who  stated 
that  the  ruling  by  the  head 
court  has  reduced  the  Constitu- 
tion to  a  mere  'scrap  of  paper' 
World  Record  Set — 

The  recent  world  mile  record 
set  by  Roger  Bannister  (time 
3:59.41,  English  medical  student. 
has  broken  the  legendary  4:00 
mile.  Even  after  setting  a  world 
record,  Bannister  said  that  his 
greatest  ambition  is  to  beat 
America's  Wes  Santee. 
Criticism — 

I  would  like  to  criticize  the 
administration  and  the  kind  of 
support  that  has  been  given  to 
Secretary  Stevens  in  the  commit- 
tee hearings.  With  the  under- 
standing that  the  secretary  of 
army  is  under  the  Department  of 
Defense,  a  cabinet  office,  it 
seems  altogether  fitting  that  the 
executive  branch  would  defend 
the  person  concerned  since  these 
offices  are  under  its  jurisdiction. 
Much  to  my  regret,  I  would  like 
to  say  that  the  executive  branch 
has  not  been  outspoken  enough.

Old  and  New 

You  are  now  one  of  the  ap- 
proximately 300,000  college  stu- 
dents who  received  their  first 
degree  this  year.  Your  degree 
granted  you  so  recently  records 
the  arduous  hours,  the  credits, 
and  the  months  in  residence. 
The  world  has  yet  to  measure 
your  education  as  your  Alma 
Mater  has  your  schooling.  What 
will  count  in  what  you  have 
learned  is  what  you  can  do  with 
your  knowledge.  America  needs 
the  best  minds  in  positions  of 
leadership  today  —  and  your 
community  will  look  toward  you 
for  this  guidance.  Be  prepared 
and  worthy   of  this  confidence. 

No  better  means  of  continued 
growth  can  be  found  than  read- 
ing— reading  that  has  a  purpose 
or  rather  a  succession  of  pur- 
poses. Many  of  you  who  have 
been  guided  in  what  to  read  and 
when  to  read,  have  solemnly  de- 
clared that  'come  commence- 
ment' you  won't  look  at  another 
book  for  eons  and  eons.  Happily 
for  you  and  for  your  fellowman, 
it  won't  be  too  long  before  you 
will  miss  the  companionship  of 
books — for  they  do  help  supply 
fuel  for  the  universal  human 
urge  to  understand.  So  from  time 
to  time,  when  you  return  to 
your  books,  check  the  scope  of 
your  reading,  for  there  must  be 
a  certain  rounding  out  of  litera- 
ture as  a  whole  if  breadth  of 
background  is  to  be  developed. 
Try  a  book  that  you  happen  to 
see  on  the  shelves  of  your  li- 
brary or  bookstore,  or  a  title 
that  someone  recommends. 

Some  of  the  outstanding  lead- 
ers in  the  civic,  educational,  re- 
ligious and  business  life  of  Sa- 
vannah   suggest    the     following 


A  Profile  of  a  Senior 

Sadie  B.  Carter,  '55 
Miss  Lillle  Mae  Jackson,  commonly  called  "Lil",  hails  from 
Savannah.  Georgia.  She  is  a  graduating  senior  in  the  division  of 
Arts  and  Sciences  with  a  major  in  Mathematics  and  a  minor  in 
General  Science- 
Miss  Jackson  has  made  an  enviable  record  here  as  a  student 
leader.  She  is  a  member  of  Delta 
Sigma  Theta  Sorority.  Inc.  and 
has  been  recording  secretary  for 
two  years.  She  is  also  a  member 
of  Alpha  Kappa  Mu,  Beta  Kappa 
Chi  Scientific  Honor  Society,  Fu- 
ture Teachers  of  America,  and 
the  Tiger's  Roar. 

Miss  Jackson  represented  the 
college  in  various  conferences. 
Among  them  are:  The  Fifteenth 
National  Convention  of  Alpha 
Kappa  Mu  which  was  held  at  Ar- 
kansas AMAN  College,  Pine 
Bluff,  Arkansas;  the  First  Re- 
gional meeting  of  Region  I, 
Johnson  C.  Smith  University. 
Charlotte,  N.  C,  and  the  Second 
Regional  meeting  at  Bennett 
College,  Greensboro,  N.  C. 

"Lil's"  phylosophy  of  life  has 
facilitated  her  meeting  people. 
She  believes  that  one  should  live 
in  the  present  and  not  wait  for 
tomorrow.  .  .  .  "Live  each  day 
full  and  tomorrow  and  yesterday 
will  automatically   fall  in  line." 

Miss  Jackson  won  the  titles  of 
"Miss  Mathematics"  1951,  Miss 
Delta  1953,  and  the  Campus 
Community  Club  award  of  1953. 

"Lil"  said  that  Savannah  State 


MISS  LILLIE  M.  JACKSON 

had  developed  her  personality 
through  opportunities  offered  its 
students  in  "public  relations." 
She  feels  academic  pursuits  only 
touch  part  of  the  person,  but 
conferences  and  "public  rela- 
tions" afford  a  much  broadei 
base  for  development.

NIGHT  AND  DAY 
Solomon  Green  '55 
The  sun  drifts  across  the 

westerly  hills  and   bays, 
Darkening  the  earth  with 

beautiful  arrays. 
Then  the  shadows  come  to 

brighten  stars'  lights, 
And  God  chose  to  call  this 

night. 

Then,  the  sun  comes  near, 
The  dear  stars  it  scares 
And  makes  sleepy  shadows

As  the  sun  becomes  bright 
Animals  begin  their  plight, 
And  love  is  so  wonderful 

and  gay,

I  once  was  alone,  heartbroken

Nadene  Cooper  '55 
If  you  should  try  and  fail 
To  accomplish  what  you  plan 
Don't  give  up  hope  and

Hold  your  head  up,  and  try

If  every  way  you  try  to  go 
Someone  seems  to  hinder. 
Just  take  it  as  your  part. 
Never  to  hardships  surrender 
If  each  day  seems  to  darken 
Your  life  with  clouds  of

Keep  trying  with  sincerity, 
Stand  up  to  your  conviction. 
Your  efforts,  hardships  and

Are  something  like  a  friend. 
You'll  never  know  what  you 

can  do, 
Until  you  have  tried  again. 


A  Senior's  Message 


Dorothy  Mae  Bess,  '54 
There  is  inexpressible  joy  in 
being  a  senior;  so  many  hopes 
and  ideals  are  collected  in  one's 
mind  When  I  think  of  the 
status  of  a  Senior  ,it  reminds 
me  of  one  who  looks  back  and 
then  forward.     A  senior  casts  a 


backward  look  at  his  achieve- 
ments and  his  failures.  In  his 
achievements,  he  finds  satisfac-

sees  the  possibility  for  improve- 
ment. Looking  forward,  he  is

Kappa  Alpha  Psi  Fraternity 
The  Kappa  Alpha  Psi  Fratern-

of  the  school  year.  Terminating 
with  the  Black  and  White  Ball,

cessful year. 

The  Variety  show  on  April  23. 
with   our  advisor,    Mr.   John   H. 


Camper,  serving  as  master  of 
ceremonies  was  enjoyed  by  a 
near  capacity  crowd  in  Meldrim 
Auditorium.  The  show  gained  the 
interest  of  talent  throughout  the 
campus  as  well  as  the  city  of  Sa- 
vannah. Trophies  and  cups  were 
given  to  groups  or  individuals 
who  were  deserving  in  the  opin- 
ion of  the  judges.  Highlighting 
(he  show  was  a  short  intermis- 
sicn  skit  by  the  "dogs"  who  were 
about  half  way  across  the  "sand" 
trying  to  make  Kappa. 

The  fraternity  expanded  its 
breadth  with  the  initiation  of 
six  neophytes.  On  the  night  of 
April  27.  the  initiation  of  James 
Thomas.  Henry  Dressen,  Earnest 
Hicks,  Robert  Jackson,  Benjamin 
Graham,  and  Johnnie  P.  Jones 
was  culminated  in  the  form  of 
a  banquet  with  the  pledges  act- 
ing as  hosts. 

Probably  the  most  memorable 
event  of  the  year  is  the  annual 
Black  and  White  Ball  sponsored 
by  the  Brothers  of  Gamma 
Chi.  The  tireless  efforts  proved 
worthy  and  not  in  vain.  Every- 
one enjoyed  a  pleasant  evening, 
The  serenity  of  the  music  of  Joe 
Bristow  was  at  its  best  and 
stirred  one's  emotions.

Here's  To  Veterans 

The  Veterans'  Club  has  round- 
ed off  a  successful  year  with  the 
Veterans'  Ball  at  Willcox  Gym- 
nasium on  the  night  of  Wednes- 
day, April  28.  However,  we  are 
looking  forward  to  helping  Mr. 
Ryles  and  the  Van  Allison  Post 
of  the  V.  F.  W.  of  the  city  of 
Savannah  observe  Memorial  Day. 

Although  the  club  was  forced 
to  give  its  ball  in  the  middle  of 
the  week,  no  shortcomings  were 
felt.  The  ball  was  a  gay  affair 
with  music  by  Jimmy  Dillworth 
and  his  Blazers.  The  President  of 
the  club  presented  "Miss  Vet- 
eran", Miss  Francine  Ivery.  with 
a  beautiful  bouquet  at  intermis- 
sion. "Miss  Veteran"  was  beau- 
tifully clad  in  a  white  evening 
dress  with  cardinal  trimmings 
and  matching  corsage  and  was 
escorted  in  a  way  to  show  just 
how  much  the  club  appreciated 
her. 

Opportunity  is  taken  here  to 
announce  that  the  Veteran  Loan 
Association  is  closing  its  records 
for  the  school  year  to  reopen  in 
September.  Dividends  will  be  de- 
clared early  in  the  month  of 
October.  The  date  will  be  an- 
nounced later.  For  any  further 
information,  please  contact  any- 
one of  the  members  of  the  Board 
of  Directors.

of  the  "Y" 

Cleveland  Lawrence  '57 

The  Savannah  State  College 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  has  grown  exceed- 
ingly since  the  beginning  of  the 
school  year  1953-54.  Some  sixty 
members  joined  this  organiza- 
tion during  that  time.  The 
Y.  M.  C.  A,  was  the  sponsor  of 
the  Religious  Emphasis  Week 
program  and  participated  in  the 
Brotherhood  Week  program. 

This  year  a  basketball  team 
was  organized  and  was  very  suc- 
cessful. Having  defeated  all  the 
campus  intramural  teams,  the 
"Y"  team  played  the  Faculty 
Ail-Star  team.  The  faculty  was 
defeated;  therefore,  the  "Y" 
team  is  the  campus  champs  for 
1953-54. 

In  the  tentative  program,  the 
members  of  the  "Y"  plan  to  as- 
sist during  freshman  orientation 
week. 

On  Awards  Day  the  "Y"  will 
be  giving  awards  to  four  out- 
standing members  in  the  Y.  M. 
C.  A.  Mr,  Eugene  Isaac,  the  ad- 
visor, has  done  a  marvelous  job 
with  the  "Y"  this  year. 

We  are  hoping  that  our  "Y" 
will  be  one  of  the  best  organi- 
zations on  the  campus  next 
year.

he  must  strive  to  reach  it. 

In  this  age  of  great  transition 
there  is  dire  need  for  incessant 
progress  on  the  part  of  leaders. 
Many  of  us  who  will  bid  S.S.C 
adieu  on  June  2nd  have  aspired 
to  lead  in  some  walk  of  life. 
Those  among  us  who  have  this 
in  mind  must  forever  strive  to 
plan  greater  adventures  for 
those  who  will  depend  on  us 
for  guidance  and  inspiration. 

Everyone  can  not  lead,  be- 
cause there  must  be  some  follow- 
ers. Those  of  us  who  are  des- 
tined to  follow  have  a  great  job 
to  do  as  well  as  the  leaders, 
that  is  if  we  would  do  our  share 
in  making  the  world  a  better 
place  in  which  to  live.  If  we 
can  not  produce  a  great  work 
of  art,  we  can  be  among  its 
greatest  admirers.  There  is  a 
position  in  life  for  each  of  us, 
a  position  in  which  we  can  show 
qualities  of  greatness;  let  us 
now   begin  our  quest. 


When  you  come  right  down  to  it,  you 
smoke  for  one  simple  reason ...  enjoy- 
ment. And  smoking  enjoyment  is  all  a 
matter  of  taste.  Yes,  taste  is  what  counts 
in  a  cigarette.  And  Luckies  taste  better. 

Two  facts  explain  why  Luckies  taste 
better.  First,  L.S./M.F.T.-Lucky  Strike 
means  fine  tobacco .  ..light,  mild,  good- 
tasting  tobacco.  Second,  Luckies  are  ac- 
tually made  better  to  taste  better... 
always  round,  firm,  fully  packed  to  draw 
freely  and  smoke  evenly. 

So,  for  the  enjoyment  you  get  from 
better  taste,  and  only  from  better  taste, 
Be  Happy— Go  Lucky.  Get  a  pack  or  a 
carton  of  better-tasting  Luckies  today.

SSC  Receives  Columbia 
J.  Bicentennial  Award  / 

The  Columbia  University  Bicentennial  Award  was  presente^to 
s    College    by    Attorney    Leon    L.    Polstein.    Columbia    University 
I  presentative,  and  was  received  by  Dr.  William  K.  Payne,  in  as- 
:  fjite^y,  Wednesday.  July  20. 

Mr.   Polstein    stated  that   his    purpose  was   to  express  to  the 

College  family  his  sincere  thanks  and  appreciation  for  their  out- 

inding   and   wholehearted   co- 


0  ieration    and    participation 
|l  ie  Bicentennial  program. 

He  stated  that  this  yea; 
:  arked  the  celebration  of  Co- 
i  mbia  University's  Bicentennial. 
!  he  theme  of  the  celebration, 
Si  lected  by  President  Eisenhower 
when  he  was  serving  as  presi- 
cient    of    the    University,    was 

1  Man's  Right  to  Knowledge  and 
to  the  Free  Use  Thereof.''  To 
help  carry  out  this  theme,  Co- 
lombia invited  educational  insti- 
tutions, civic  groups,  fraternal 
rrders,  business,  and  professional 
croups  throughout  the  nation  to 
join  in  the  observance. 

i  Savannah  State,  according  to 
Mr.  Polstein,  was  one  of  the  edu- 
cational institutions  that  went 
ull  out  for  helping  Columbia  to 
bring  this  stimulating  and 
thought-provoking  theme  to 
many  people  within  the  sphere 
of  its    influence. 

The  speaker  said  that  it  was 
his  understanding  that  the  cer- 
tificate of  participation  and  ap- 
preciation being  awarded  was 
the  very  first  one  to  be  presented 
to  an  educational  institution  in 
this  region,  comprising  Georgia, 
Florida,   and    Alabama. 

The  Bicentennial  program,  as 
mapped  out  by  the  Columbia 
University  Scholastic  Press  Asso- 
ciation and  the  Bicentennial 
Committee,  included  six  methods 
of  participation.  The  five-star 
certificate  awarded  Savannah 
State  indicated  that  the  College 
had  participated  in  five  of  the 
six  areas.  Participation  included 
the  following:  ill  a  special  edi- 
tion of  the  SSC  Bulletin,  (2) 
feature  stories  in  local  and  na- 


tional Negro  newspapers.  (3) 
forums  held  in  connection  with 
statewide  press  institutions,  (4) 
editorials  in  the  student  news- 
paper, The  Tiger's  Roar,  and  (5) 
radio  programs  over  stations 
WJIV  and  WDAR. 

Mr.  Polstein  gave  special  trib- 
ute to  Wiiton  C.  Scott,  College 
public  relations  director,  and 
consultant  to  the  Columbia 
Scholastic  Press  Association.  Mr 
Scott,  according  to  the  represen- 
tative, was  largely  responsible 
for  SSC's  earning  the  award.  Mr. 
Polstein  acknowledged  the  work 
of  Miss  Juanita  Sellers,  Advisor 
to  The  Tiger's  Roar.  He  also 
thanked  the  faculty  and  the  stu- 
dents who  participated  In  the 
program. 

Further  remarks  by  Mr,  Pol- 
stein reiterated  that  the  striking 
significance  of  the  Bicentennial 
I  heme,  selected  at  a  time  in  the 
affairs  of  the  world  when  there 
are  those  among  us,  both  home 
and  abroad,  who  would  deny  or 
limit  man's  God-given  right  to 
seek  knowledge  and  to  use  that 
knowledge  to  make  this  a  better 
world  in  which  to  live,  is  chal- 
lenging, the  speaker  said.  He 
further  stated  that  this  theme 
was  purposely  chosen  as  a  start- 
ing point  for  free  men  of  good 
will  to  join  in  reasserting  their 
belief  in  freedom  of  thought  and 
knowledge,  and  in  re-expressing 
the  fundamental  principles  on 
which  the  nation  was  founded. 

After  receiving  the  award  from 
Mr.  Polstein,  Dr.  Payne,  in  turn, 
presented  It  to  Mr.  Scott,  com- 
mending him  for  the  work  he 
has  done. 


Rev.  Mzimba  Speaks 
On  African  Tour 

By  Paul  L.  Howard 

Rev.  Livingstone  N.  Mzimba, 
B.A.,  S.T.B.,  was  one  of  the  guest 
speakers  here  on  June  22.  Dur- 
ing   the    absence    of   Dr.    W.    K. 

Payne,  Rev.  Mzimba  was  intro- 
duced by  Professor  T.  C.  Meyers, 
dean  of  faculty 

The  69-year-old  past  modera- 
tor of  the  Presbyterian  Church 
of  Africa  spoke  from  the  subject 
"What  Africans  Expect  of  Their 
American  Colored  Brothers".  He 
said  that  the  church  has  over 
500.000  members  but  with  the 
help  of  the  educated  American 
ministers,  the  number  could  be 
doubled  in  a  very  short  time. 
The  church  is  located  in  Alice. 
South  Africa,  and  has  a  member- 
ship of  between  800  and  1,000 
■■adherents",  but  it  could  be  bet- 
ter, he  stated. 

Putting  religious  institutions 
along  with  educational  institu- 
tions, the  Loncoln  graduate  said, 
"we  have  only  63  ministers  and 
50  training  schools.  Each  church 
is   required    to    build    a    school." 

He  concluded  by  saying,  "May 
God  bless  you  and  keep  you  in 
a  feeling  of  brother's  love  in  this 
world  community." 

Dr.  Mzimba  is  visiting  Lincoln 
University,  Pennsylvania,  the 
school  from  which  he  graduated 
in  1906.  Since  that  time  he  has 
been  engaged  in  the  Pastorate 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of 
Africa. 

He  came  to  Lincoln  in  1901, 
after  the  first  group  of  South 
Africans  who  entered  in  1896  had 
done  well.  At  Lincoln,  Reverend 
Mzimba  was  a  member  of  the 
Choir.  He  also  sang  in  quartettes 
and  glee  clubs,  also  solos.  He 
won  a  Bible  prize  in  his  senior 
seminary  year,  and  was  one  of 
the  three  speakers  in  his  class 
during  their  graduation  year. 
Dr.  Mzimba  is  still  remembered 
as  one  of  the  institution's  most 
famous  football   players. 

While  on  SSC  Campus,  he 
played  host  to  most  of  the 
classes.  According  to  the  Afri- 
can head,  the  Elementary  Work- 
shop stimulated  his  interest  more

Makes  Tour 

Members  of  the  class  in 
Science  for  Elementary  Teachers 
made  a  tour  of  the  Oatland 
Island  Center,  June  22. 

The  forty-member  class  was 
divided  into  two  groups,  each 
with  a  guide  for  the  tour  of  the 
Center.  According  to  Informa- 
tion given  in  the  preliminary 
remarks  concerning  the  project, 
the  Technical  Communicable  Di- 
sease Center  deals  with  diseases 
transmitted  by  animals.  The 
Center  Is  divided  into  four  main 
sections:  Biological  Section, 
Equipment  Development,  Toxic- 
ology Section,  and  Chemistry 
Section. 

Special  observance  of  experi- 
ments being  conducted  high- 
lighted the  tour.  One  such  ex- 
periment involved  the  feeding 
of  D.D.T.  to  monkeys.  Results 
of  the  experiment  revealed  that 
it  is  possible  for  monkeys  to  be- 
come  immune   to  DDT. 

C.  V.  Clay,  instructor  of  the 
class,  arranged  the  tour. 


Bowens  Gives  Types, 
Uses,  Future  of  AV  Aids 

By  Paul  L.  Howard 

William  H,  Bowens,  director  of  the  Audio-Visual  Aids  Center, 
stated  in  an  interview  today  that  visual  aids  in  teaching  are  often 
combined  with  auditory  or  sound  aids,  as  in  the  use  of  the  talking 
picture.     Such  combinations  are  called  audio-visual  aids. 

Mr.  Bowens  stated  that  this  complex  communication  task  has 
been  going  on  for  thousands  of  years.  The  cave  men  made  use 
of  drawings  on  the  sides  of  caves  and  on  the  bark  of  trees  to  in- 
form their  fellowmen.  People  used  picture  language  before  the 
alphabet  was  devised. 

ably  with  any  other  center  In 
the  coun'try,  stated  Mr.  Bowens. 
He  attended  a  meeting  several 
months  ago  in  Virginia,  where 
leaders  in  the  AV  field  agreed 
that  the  SSC  Center  was  among 
the  foremost  Mr.  Bowens  said 
that  the  facilities  are  good  and 
the  Center  is-expanding  rapidly 
The  only  problem  existing  at  the 
present  is  the  lack  of  personnel 
co  perform  the  many  duties  in- 
volved in  the  work  of  the  Center. 
According  to  Mr.  Bowens,  one 
of  the  most  helpful  aids  to  this 
type  of  instruction  is  the  Ren- 
shaw  System  of  Recognition, 
established  by  Samuel  Renshaw 
of  Ohio  State  University. 

Educators  believe  that  visual 
education  in  the  near  future  will 
have  more  to  offer.  Mr.  Bowens 
declared.  "Anyone  who  takes  a 
course  in  AV  aids  becomes  a 
better  teacher  and  is  able  to 
plan  work  in  advance.  Through 
this,  their  program  will  be  more 
interesting,  attractive,  and  ef- 
fective." 


On  a  national  level,  most  vis- 
ual aids  in  education  are  divided 
into  four  classifications.  The 
natural  type  of  aid  Includes 
chemicals,  plants,  animals,  spec- 
imens from  large  subjects,  and 
mechanical  instruments.  The 
pictorial  type  includes  movies, 
photographs,  drawings,  and 
stereotypes.  Schematic  represen- 
tation uses  maps  and  miniature 
models.  The  symbol,  the  fourth 
type,  utilizes  charts,  graphs,  and 
diagrams. 

Mr.  Bowens  stated  that  his 
program  is  divided  into  four 
units:  1 1 1  operations  of  ma- 
chines, (2»  production  of  AV 
classroom  usages,  (3)  philosophy 
and  research  in  audio-visual  aids, 
and  (4)  evaluation,  utilization, 
and  administration  of  audio- 
visual materials. 

The  Director  stated  that  the 
process  of  securing  a  film  re- 
quired the  filing  of  at  least  ten 
papers  that  are  already  awaiting 
filing  before  a  picture  is  shown 
and  placed  back  into  the  mail 
to  its  owner.

Elementary  Workshop  Plans 
Unit  on  U.  S.  Money 


The  Elementary  Workshop  oi 
the  first  Summer  Session  at  Sa- 
vannah State  College  had  as  its 
theme,  "Making  Adequate  Pro- 
visions Essential  to  Effective 
Learning  Through  Effective 
Teaching." 

The  Workshop  centered  its  unit 
planning  on  the  "Money  We 
Use".  Much  research  work  was 
clone  in  order  to  secure  Informa- 
tion on  American  coins  and  cur- 
rency. 

There  were  forty-eight  teach- 
ers enrolled  in  the  workshop. 
They  were  divided  into  groups 
according  to  their  interests.  The 
Social  Studies  and  Upper  Read- 
ing groups  were  supervised  by 
Mrs.  Donella  G.  Seabrook.  The 
Arithmetic,  Science,  and  Fine 
Arts  groups  were  supervised  by 
Miss  Thelma   Brown. 


Wednesday,  July  7,  the  Ele- 
mentary Workshop  presented  a 
program  entitled.  "Money  We 
Use". 

The  group  was  concerned  with 
the  use  of  money  in  the  school 
lunchroom,  the  school  band  and 
the  Red  Cross,  The  group  was 
presented  with  a  representation 
of  coins  and  bills  and  a  money 
exhibit. 

The  program  was  narrated  by 
Mrs.  Georgia  Floyd  Johnson, 
chairman  of  the  workshop  and 
program  committee. 

Another  feature  of  the  group 
was  the  open  house  program 
which  was  presented  July  12, 
in  Powell  Laboratory  school. 

Serving  as  faculty  consultants 
were:  Miss  Juanita  Sellers,  Lan- 
guage Arts;  Miss  Sylvia  Bowen, 
Arithmetic;  and  Elmer  J.  Dean,

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


August  16.  1954 


The  Road  to  Success 

Success  is  the  attainment  of 
a  proposed  objective.  In  order 
to  be  successful  one  must  have 
In  mind  a  specific  goal. 

Some  people  are  satisfied  at 
just  getting  by;  others  make 
careless  choices.  But  be  mind- 
ful of  these  and  other  errors, 
and  don't  jeopardize  your  op- 
portunity for  success  by  careless 
choices  on  your  part.  Don't  be 
like  the  flowers  that  grow  in  the 
woods,  live,  and  let  their  sweet 
fragrance  mingle  with  the  in- 
visible atmosphere  and  die  with- 
out being  discovered.  Make  your 
abilities  known,  seize  every  op- 
portunity that  presents  itself  and 
prepare  in  every  area  possible. 
One  can  not  specialize  in  just 
one  thing,  wait  for  an  oppor- 
tunity in  that  special  field,  and 
be  successful.  It  is  good  to  spec- 
ialize, but  don't  be  a  slave  to 
specialization.  You  will  have  to 
crawl  before  you  can  walk  un- 
less you  are  helped  to  your  feet 
by  someone   else. 

The  road  to  success  is  not 
known  by  anyone,  but  sign  posts 
have  been  placed  along  the  ways 
of  life  to  guide  you.  These  posts 
are  your  parents,  ministers, 
teachers,  social  organizations, 
etc.  In  conclusion  my  advice  is. 
let  them  guide  you,  but  don't 
be  a  slave  to  guidance;  press 
forward  and  success  will  be 
yours.

Home  Study  Effective 

Don't  stop  because  you  cannot 
pay  your  way  in  school  and  work 
to  support  a  family.  Learn  some- 
thing about  the  new  develop- 
ments in  correspondence  educa- 
tion. During  the  past  60  years, 
correspondence  education  or 
home  study  has  become  one  of 
the  most  important  approaches 
to  adult  education.  Today,  more 
people  enroll  in  home-study 
courses  each  year  than  enter 
the  freshman  classes  of  all  our 
colleges  and  universities.  Most 
of  these  are  adults  seeking  to 
satisfy  their  hunger  for  educa- 
tion in  the  most  direct  way  pos- 
sible— through  individual  study- 
As  the  adult  education  move- 
ment grows,  home  study  will 
grow  with  it.  The  more  educa- 
tion a  person  has,  the  more  he 
wants;  and  home  study  provides 
certain  unique  advantages.  As 
one  of  the  most  flexible  and 
least  expensive  of  adult  educa- 
tion approaches,  home  study  can 
be  started  at  any  time,  pursued 
on  any  schedule,  move  with  a 
mobile  population,  and  perform 
its  function  in  peace  or  war. 

Home  study  is  adapting  to 
principles  of  lifelong  learning. 
It  is  already  possible,  after  fin- 
ishing courses  from  some  schools, 
to  receive  a  steady  flow  of  in- 
formational materials  carefully 
prepared  by  experts  to  help  one 
keep  on  the  growing  edge  of  his 
occupation.

Summer  Reading  Choices 


The  Little  Things 


From  the  President's  Desk 

Attending  summer  school  has  in  the  past  been  considered  an 
additional  or  extra  mile.  Everyone  enrolled  in  summer  school  was 
supposed  to  be  there  because  he  wanted  to  meet  certain  require- 
ments which  were  a  part  of  his  definite  program  of  advancement. 
In  practically  no  case  did  one  attend  summer  school  for  the  pur- 
pose of  being  in  style  and  keeping  up  with  his  associates.  It  seemed 
that  all  were  seeking  education  which  could  contribute  to  their 
living  or  their  proposed  programs.  Some  educators  often  remarked 
that  those  attending  summer  school  were  seeking  education  in  the 
true  meaning  of  the  term. 

^^fiTiS  interesting  to  note  that  in  every  age  or  era,  education  has 
been  singled  out  as  basic  and  significant  to  living.  This  has  been 
true  of  both  formal  and  informal  systems  of  education.  From  time 
to  time  the  critics  have  attacked  the  educational  system  in  terms 
of  its  real  values  and  contributions  to  problems  of  life  While  the 
criticisms  have  not  always  been  entirely  valid,  they  served  the 
important  function  of  directing  and  initiating  studies  of  evalua- 
tion that  lead  to  modification.  This  seems  to  be  an  inevitable 
procedure  in  a  changing  society.  Wherever  change  is  rapid,  there 
must  be  reorganization  and  redirection  of  the  educational  programs 
and  processes. 

The  willingness  of  students  and  teachers  to  reorganize  their 
thinking  and  their  procedures  by  attending  summer  school  is  of 
great  significance.  In  such  a  system  there  is  provision  for  the 
youth  who  are  becoming  influential  and  the  adults  who  have  gained 
stability.  Summer  schools  have  been  one  of  the  foremost  agencies 
in  promoting  critical  thinking  about  the  schools  of  today.  The 
students  and  teachers  who  have  studied  here  at  Savannah  State 
College  during  the  1954  summer  session  have  had  rich  opportunities 
to  gain  insight  Into  our  educational  processes  as  they  are  related 
to  our  society.  The  views  and  opinions  gained  will  continue  to 
operate  and  provide  the  stimuli  needed  to  modify  individual  educa- 
tional programs  and  participation  in  the  development  of  a  better 
program  of  education. 

When  educational  programs  promote  thinking  and  evaluation, 
they  are  providing  sound  education  for  any  type  of  society.  Those 
who  endure  the  heat  and  put  forth  special  effort  to  study  set  the 
scene  for  thinking.  In  such  a  situation  one  often  wonders  about 
the  value  of  the  studies  he  is  pursuing.  Frequently  he  asks  him- 
self if  the  effort  is  worth  what  he  is  achieving.  Attempting  to 
answer  such  questions  for  one's  self  takes  the  individual  into  the 
realm  of  reasoning.  This  type  of  mental  activity  taking  place  in 
many  phases  of  the  individual's  living  strengthens  the  power  to 
attack  and  solve  problems.

Man  of  the  Hour 


Wilton  C.  Scott,  director  of 
Public  Relations,  is  considered 
the  "Man  of  the  Hour"  here  at 
Savannah  State  College. 

Through  his  strong  belief  in 
public  relations,  during  the  past 
several  years  hundreds  of  stu- 
dents have  gone  Into  or  taken 
some  direct  interest  in  the  ever- 
growing field  of  Journalism. 

While  away  attending  gradu- 
ate school  at  New  York  Univer- 
sity. Mr.  Scott  left  Mrs.  Gwen- 
dolyn L.  Bass,  full-time  secre- 
tary, Mr.  Paul  L.  Howard,  Sr., 
graduate  and  former  editor  of 
The  Tiger's  Roar  and  now  editor 
of  the  Summer  Edition  of  The 
Tiger's  Roar,  and  Mr.  John  Paul 
Jones,  an  up-coming  free  lance 
writer,  in  charge  of  the  Public 
Relations   Office.     Through   the 


full  cooperation  of  th  workers, 
the  Public  Relations  Office  has 
been  keeping  the  public  well- 
informed  during  both  sessions. 

Mr.  Scott  Is  aware  of  the  fact 
that  no  college  can  advance,  in 
the  eyes  of  the  public,  without 
a  good  working  Public  Relations 
Department.

By  Miss  Madeline  Harrison 

Books  can  help  you  enjoy  a 
better  vacation.  There  are  so 
many  idle  hours  when  a  good 
book  will  add  to  your  vacation 
pleasure.  Very  often  you  have 
time  after  meals,  between  swims, 
at  bedtime.  So  be  sure  to  have 
several  good  books  handy  wheth- 
er you  go  away  on  a  vacation  or 
stay  in  your  own  backyard. 

For  the  sixth  summer  The 
Saturday  Review  asked  book  edi- 
tors of  the  leading  newspapers 
of  the  nation  to  name  the  new 
books  which  they  believe  merit 
reading.  According  to  this  poll 
of  26  critics  the  two  novels  most 
likely  to  please  are  The  Doll- 
maker  by  Harriette  Arnow  and 
Sweet  Thursday  by  John  Stein- 
beck. Gertie  Nevels.  who  is  the 
"dollmaker"  of  this  novel,  is  a 
woman  of  the  Kentucky  hills. 
She  is  sensitive,  courageous  and 
understanding,  but  she  has  had 
very  little  formal  education.  She 
is  especially  talented  in  carving 
figures  from  wood.  When  Gertie 
leaves  her  Kentucky  surround- 
ings to  join  her  husband  in  De- 
troit, she  finds  that  city  life  is 
often  bitter  and  cruel.  The  book 
is  not  an  easy  one  to  read  as 
much  of  the  conversation  is  in 
dialect,  but  the  story  is  a  very 
sincere  and  moving  one. 

Those  of  you  who  are  avid 
fiction  readers  are  probably  al- 
ready familiar  with  John  Stein- 
beck's Grapes  of  Wrath.  Tortilla 
Flat  and  Cannery  Row.  In  his 
new  work,  Sweet  Thursday.  Mr 
Steinbeck  returns  to  the  scene 
of  Cannery  Row.  Here  are  the 
same  local  institutions — the  Bear 
Flag  Restaurant,  Lee  Chong's 
grocery  store,  the  Western  Bio- 
logical Laboratories.  And  some 
of  the  people  are  the  same.  But 
the  new  ingredient  is  Suzy. 
fresh  off  a  Greyhound  Bus. 
equipped  with  a  battered  suit- 
case, a  lipstick,  a  good  figure 
and  eighty-five  cents.  Against 
this  background  Steinbeck  spins 
a  yarn  that  has  some  satire  and 
philosophy 

If  you  like  the  historical  novel, 
Daphne  Du  Maurier  and  Taylor 
Campbell  have  new  offerings 
which  may  interest  you.  Du  Mau- 
rier's  Mary  Anne  is  a  biograph- 
ical novel  about  the  author's 
great  -  great  -  grandmother,  a 
woman  whose  life  was  not 
bound  by  scruples.  Mary  Anne 
deserted  a  worthless  husband  at 
25,  and  later  became  the  mis- 
tress of  the  Duke  of  York.  Tak- 
ing advantage  of  the  Duke's  po- 
sition as  commander-in-chief  of 
the  army,  Mary  Anne  did  a  lu- 
crative business  selling  commis- 
sions in  the  army.  What  hap- 
pened to  her  when  the  scandal 
broke  makes  a  fascinating  story. 
In  Never  Victorious,  Never  De- 
feated, Mrs.  Caldwell  is  again 
concerned  with  robber  barons 
and  empire  building.  The  story 
is  of  the  DeWitt  family  who 
owned  the  Pennsylvania  Inter- 
state Railroad.  The  time  of  the 
action  covers  the  100  years  from 
the  administration  of  Andrew 
Jackson  to  1935  Both  drama  and 
suspense  are  found  here. 

If  your  mood  is  a  gay  one  and 
you  want  something  light,  try 
Edward  Streeter's  Mr.  Hobbs' 
Vacation.  If  you  enjoyed  Fa- 
ther of  the  Bride,  then  you  will 
not  want  to  miss  this  one.  Mr. 
Hobbs,  a  reasonable,  successful 
businessman,  has  been  looking 
forward  to  his  vacation  with 
eagerness.  And  so  has  Mrs. 
Hobbs.  She  selected,  sight  un- 
seen, a  large,  old  house  by  the 
sea.  Why?  So  that  their  mar- 
ried daughters,  their  peculiar 
husbands  and  the  three  grand- 
children may  vacation  there  also. 
The  result  is  general  chaos  and 
a  hilarious  and  heartwarming 
story. 

For  a  high-spirited  account  of 
travels  In  Europe,  written  in  an 
amusing  manner,  don't  overlook 
Emily    Klmbrough's    Forty    Plus 


and  Fancy  Free.  Miss  Kimbrough 
and  three  other  youthful  grand- 
mothers decided  to  take  a  holi- 
day In  Europe.  Their  original 
plans  were  sound  enough — a  visit 
to  the  traditional  places,  meals 
at  the  usual  restaurants,  and 
even  time  out  for  study.  But 
what  actually  happens  is  most 
unexpected  and  very  humorous. 
The  account  is  filled  with  laugh- 
ter, anecdote  and  entertaining 
information. 

If  the  heat  gets  you  down,  and 
it's  just  one  of  those  days,  try 
these  for  a  spiritual  boost:  The 
Mind  Alive  by  Harry  and  Bonaro 
Overstreet  is  guaranteed  to  im- 
prove your  emotional  well-being. 
The  authors  use  numerous  illus- 
trations to  prove  that  it  is  nec- 
essary that  one  realize  his  own 
limitations  and  work  to  improve 
himself  in  spite  of  them.  In  his 
Way  to  Happiness,  Fulton  J. 
Shean  has  a  series  of  inspiring 
articles  which  he  hopes  will 
bring  his  reader  solace,  hope, 
truth,  goodness  and  strength.  He 
believes  that  every  man  wants 
three  things  for  himself — life,  for 
always  with  no  aging  or  disease 
to  threaten  it;  truth,  with  no 
forced  choices  to  be  made,  and 
love,  not  mixed  with  hatred  and 
with  no  time  limit.  Daniel  Pol- 
ing's  Faith  is  Power  for  You  tells 
of  the  author's  personal  experi- 
ences with  prayer  and  how 
prayer  has  concretely  helped 
men  and  women  in  their  hour 
of  need. 

So  whether  you  travel  by  land 
or  by  air,  if  you  are  at  the  sea- 
shore, in  the  mountains,  or  in 
the  hammock  in  your  own  back- 
yard, be  sure  you  have  a  few 
good  books  nearby.  You  have 
no  idea  how  well  they  can  fill 
in  the  time  when  you  are  lost 
for  something  to  do. 


Program,  Surveys 
Reported  by  IP 

CLEVELAND.  O.-Four  new 
"Associate  Study"  programs  at 
Fenn  College  this  fall  will  make 
higher  education  available  to 
thousands  of  Ohio  high  school 
graduates  not  now  slated  for

NEW  YORK,  N  Y— A  survey 
of  "Five  Years  of  Fuibright 
Studies"  published  in  a  recent 
issue  of  The  Barnard  Alumnae 
Magazine  shows  that  the  major- 
ity of  alumnae  believe  the  Fui- 
bright Program  is  accomplishing 
the  aim  of  interpreting  America 
abroad.  Termed  as  "particularly 
timely"  by  the  editors,  the  issue 
went  to  press  just  as  the  House 
of  Representative  had  cut,  for 
economy  reasons,  $6,000,000  from 
the  $15,000,000  annual  appropri- 
ation for  the  International  Edu- 
cation Exchange  Program.  A 
basic  part  of  this  exchange  is 
the  plan  popularly  known  as  the 
"Fuibright  Program". 


By 

Georgia  Floyd  Johnson 

Pride     not     yourself     for     lofty 

heights 
But  for  how  many  friends  you've 

made. 
Strive  not  to  see  your  name  in 

lights 
But  on  the  bill  marked  "Paid" 

It's  the  little  things  in  life  you'll 

find 
That  make  you  great  or  small. 
It's  those  things  that  bring  peace 

of  mind 
That  lift  you  and  prevent  your 

fall. 

Today  you  may  stand  out  in  the 

crowd, 
Socially  prominent,  boasting  of 

wealth. 
Tomorrow   you'll    hear   them 

shouting,  proud 
To    say.    "Ole    Joe    has    lost    his 

health." 

So  think  much  of  your  fellow- 
man, 

Of  dogs  that  bark  and  the  bird 
that  sings. 

Think  of  each  creature  as  doing 
the  best  he  can 

And  above  all,  remember  the 
little    things.

Odessa    Sbank    Lucas 

We  thank  Thee,  Dear  God,  foi 

the  growth  of  a  nation. 

For  your  undying  love  and 
abundance  of  patlence. 

We  thank  Thee  for  the  sun 
stars,  moon,  flowers,  bird; 
and  bees. 

And  planes  that  travel  by  air 
and  ships  that  sail  on  high 
seas. 

We  thank  Thee  for  a  voice  with 
which   to  hum, 

And  a  privilege  to  say,  "Thy 
kingdom  come". 

We  thank  Thee  for  parents 
homes,  friends. 

Schools  and  a  peaceful  slumber 

For  all  of  these  we.  Thy  receiv- 
ers, are  indeed  humble. 

We  pray  that  we  may  become 
our   Brother's   keeper. 

And  have  the  privilege  of  ren- 
dering our  assistance  at 
all  times  to  other  People.

Dr.  Cunrtfngham  is 
Speaker,  First  Assembly 

The  first  assembly  of  the  First  Summer  School  Session  was 
held  at  Savannah  State  College  in  Meldrim  Auditorium.  Dr.  W. 
K  Payne  presided  over  the  program.  He  expressed  his  apprecia- 
tion at  seeing  former  graduates  and  regular  students  returning  to 
this  historical  institution  for  the  sole  purpose  of  securing  informa- 
tion for  the  betterment  of  humanity.  He  also  congratulated  the 
ministers  and  laymen  for  at- 
tending the  Annual  Institute 
[or  Ministers  and  Laymen  held 
here  at  the  College. 
\^>v.  Frank  Cunningham,  pro- 
fessor of  philosophy  at  Morris 
Brown  College  in  Atlanta,  was 
the  guest  speaker.  He  was"  intro- 
duced by  Dr.  Payne.  He  used 
for  his  subject,  "The  Relation  of 
formal  and  Non-Formal  Educa- 
tion." 

Addressing  an  audience  of  an 
estimated  four  hundred  people, 
lie  said,  "The  Formal  Education 
of  the  school  must  be  of  such 
ouality  as  to  guide  into  a  dis- 
i  'iminating  and  intelligent  use 
of  the  instruments  of  mass  com- 
i  lunication."

Business  Courses 
Offered  -  Summer 

by 
William   S.   Jackson 

The  Business  Department  is 
very  active  in  spite  of  the  new 
low  enrollment  throughout  the 
nation.  This  is  the  second  time 
since  1948  that  business  courses 
were  offered.  The  courses  of- 
fered in  the  first  session  are: 
Business  Writing,  Elementary 
Shorthand,  and  Typing.  The 
same  courses  were  offered  both 
sessions,  with  Business  Writing 
replacing  Business  Law. 

There  are  18  students  enrolled 
in  Business  Writing,  and  25  in 
Typing  and  Shorthand.  Other 
courses  are  offered  on  demand. 
In  Business  Laboratory  Practice 
are:  M.  Herman  Terry,  Johnnie 
P.  Jones,  and  Florence  Bisord 
and  in  Secretarial  Science  Prac- 
tice is  Roberta  Glover. 

Robert  C.  Long,  Assistant 
Professor  of  Business  Adminis- 
tration, spoke  on  "The  Place  of 
Business  Administration  in  Sec- 
ondary Schools",  for  the  Secon- 
dary Workshop  during  the  first 
summer  session.  Mr.  Long  is  a 
Notary  Public  and  Publicity  Rep- 
resentative of  the  National  Edu- 
cation Society  of  which  the  New 
Standard  Publishing  Company  is 
the  sponsor.  He  is  offering  a 
unique  plan  for  educators  and 
professional    men    and    women. 


By  L.  V. 

Some  of  Savannah  State  Col- 
lege students  took  a  trip  to 
Hunter  Air  Force  Base  on  July 
8,  1954.  The  trip  was  one  of  the 
many  activities  sponsored  by  the 
Summer  Activities  Committee. 

The  group  upon  its  arrival  at 
the  base  was  guided  by  Lieu- 
tenant Tibby.  Colonel  Watkins 
gave  a  short  lecture  on  Strategic 
Air  Command  to  the  Savannah 
State  students  in  an  air-condi- 
tioned theater. 

It  was  interesting  to  note  the 
combat  air  force  that  America 
has.  The  original  base  started 
in  Omaha.  Nebraska  and  spread 
throughout  the  United  States. 

The  cost  of  a  B-47  jet  bomber 
is  45  million  dollars.  The  great- 
est problem  that  the  S.A.C.  has 
is  enlistments.  Another  inter- 
esting story  came  from  Lieuten- 
ant Derrier.  He  said  that  it  is 
his  duty  to  see  that  everyone  has 
been  thoroughly  examined  before 
receiving  admittance  to  the  base. 

Sgt.  J.  Edward  Kohl  is  director 
of    the    survival    school    of    the 


Currie 

Strategic  Air  Command.  This 
one  is  that  branch  of  the  Air 
Force  that  teaches  men  how  to 
survive  in  any  kind  of  weather 
and  hardships. 

The  nerve  center  of  the  Air 
Force,  it  is  said,  is  the  weather 
bureau.  It  was  interesting  to 
note  that  Montgomery.  Alabama 
is  the  controlling  center  for  the 
South,  while  Jacksonville.  Flor- 
ida is  the  controlling  center  of 
traffic  highways  of  the  air.  From 
those  two  points,  pilots  are  bet- 
ter able  to  fly  certain  routes 
without  having  accidents. 

Other  points  of  interest  shown 
to  the  visiting  group  were  the 
Post  Exchange,  swimming  pool, 
barracks,  and  the  Officers  Club. 
Pictures  were  taken  of  the  group 
at  the  survival  school. 

The  trip  to  Hunter  Air  Force 
Base  was  made  possible  by  the 
Student  Activities  Committee 
and  Wilton  C.  Scott,  director  of 
Public  Relations  at  Savannah 
State   College.

Trades  and  Industries  in  Review 


By  Levy  N. 

The  industrial  program  at  Sa- 
vannah State  College  continues 
to  be  one  of  the  outstanding 
fields  of  study  on  the  campus. 
Students  seeking  pre-occupa- 
tlonal  training  make  a  wise 
choice  in  selecting  one  or  more 
of  the  various  fields  of  study  of- 
fered under  the  Industrial  Edu- 
cation Program. 

Automotive  Repair,  Body  and 
Fender,  under  the  instruction  of 
Mr.  Leroy  Brown,  is  being  offered 
during  the  summer  as  well  as 
during  the  regular  school  term. 
A  large  number  of  veterans  find 
interest  in  this  field  and  have 
found  that  the  training  they  re- 
ceive prepares  them  successfully 
for  a  suitable  occupation  after 
leaving  school. 

Shoe  Repairing  is  taught  joint- 
ly with  Leathercraft,  a  course 
more  recently  added  to  the  In- 
dustrial Education  Program,  but 
which  is  rapidly  gaining  interest 
among  students  from  all  of  the 
departments.  Students  enrolled 
in  this  course  are  taught  to  op- 
erate machines  necessary  in  shoe 
repairing,  the  principles  of  de- 
signing leather,  and  are  given  a 
general  knowledge  of  the  con- 
struction of  different  kinds  of 
shoes  and  of  all  types  of  leather 
work.  Handbags,  billfolds,  and 
wallets,  made  by  men  and  wom- 
en, can  be  seen  from  time  to 
time  exhibited  in  the  Adminis- 
tration Building. 

An  extensive  program  in  Ra- 
dio Repair  is  also  offered  at  Sa- 
vannah State  College.  The  fun- 
damental principles  of  radio  are 
taught  in  this  course,  plus  the 
technical  and  practical  opera- 
tions necessary  in  making  radio 
repairs. 

Electrical  maintenance,  car- 
pentry, general  woodwork,  cab- 
inet-making, and  masonry  are 
several  other  courses  offered  un-

aid  the  college  in  rendering  a 
greater  service  to  the  State  of 
Georgia  in  its  educational  pro- 
gram is  The  James  F.  Lincoln 
Arc  Welding  Foundation  Library. 
This  library  is  in  the  Division's 
Trades  and  Industries  of  the 
Special  Library.  The  books  and 
information  have  proved  a  val- 
uable asset  to  student,  staff 
members,  and  other  technical 
workers  at  the  college  as  well 
as  in  the  community. 

The  library  contains  some  of 
the  following  books:  Wettability

nique Necessary  for  Stainless 
Welding,  by  L.  K.  Stingham;  The 
United  Album  of  Recent  Weld- 
ments,  by  The  United  Welding 
Company,  Middleton,  Ohio. 

A  host  of  other  books  and 
pamphlets  on  welding  and  de- 
velopment are  in  the  library.  It 
is  open  to  all  students,  teachers, 
and  patrons  of  Savannah  State 
College  to  use.  Those  desiring 
the  services  of  any  of  this  mate- 
rial can  secure  same  through  the 
office  of  the  Division  of  Trades 
and  Industries. 

The  Division  through  the  col- 
lege expresses  its  appreciation 
to  The  James  F.  Lincoln  Arc 
Welding  Foundation  for  estab- 
lishing such  a  library  at  Savan- 
nah State  College.

How  to  Make  A 
Gardenia  Corsage 

By   George  Johnson 

So  you  are  planning  to  take 
your  sweetheart  to  the  formal. 
Instead  of  buying  a  corsage  fol- 
low these  simple  rules  and  save 
money. 

To  make  a  gardenia  corsage,  it 
Is  necessary  to  purchase  the 
following  items:  2  gardenias,  1 
roll  of  floral  tape,  5  pieces  of 
thin  wire  (12  inches  long!  and 
4  yards  of  ribbon. 

First  wire  the  gardenias  by 
placing  a  wire  through  the  bulb 
of  each  flower,  the  end  to  which 
the  petals  are  attached.  Wrap 
this  wire  tightly  around  the  stem 
of  the  flower. 

Take  three  pieces  of  fern  and 
arrange  them  in  a  fan  shape  and 
wire  them  together  by  wrapping 
a  piece  of  wire  to  the  ends  of 
the  stems,  leaving  enough  for 
later  use. 

Now  with  the  remainder  of  the 
wire  at  the  end  of  the  fern,  at- 
tach one  gardenia.  Pull  the  wire 
tight  enough  to  hold  the  flower 
in  position.  Be  sure  that  the 
flower  stem  is  longer  than  the 
fern. 

Make  another  fan  of  fern  as 
in  paragraph  4  and  attach  it  to 
the  end  of  the  flower  stem.  Lay 
the  other  gardenia  on  this  and 
fasten  as  in  paragraph  5  with 
the  flower  facing  the  opposite 
direction. 

Cover  all  visible  wiring  and 
rough  spots  with  the  floral  tape. 

Make  a  bow  of  12  loops,  6  on 
each  side,  wire  it.  The  color 
should  match  the  lady's  dress  or 
accessories.  Place  this  in  the 
space  between  the  blooms.  Make 
this  secure  by  wiring.

One  of  the  biggest  problems 
facing  Korean  veterans  through- 
out the  nation  today  is  the  fast 
approaching  cut-off  deadline  for 
those  veterans  who  were  dis- 
charged prior  to  August  20,  1952. 
The  law.  as  is  currently  in  ef- 
fect, specifically  states  that  vet- 
erans must  initiate  a  course  of 
training  within  two  years  after 
separation  from  active  military 
duty.  This  means,  of  course, 
that  veterans  who  do  not  apply 
for  educational  benefits  and  are 
actually  enrolled  and  pursuing  a 
course  of  education  and  training 
will  forfeit  all  educational  bene- 
fits to  which  they  may  be  en- 
titled. Of  interest  to  all  Korean 
veterans  is  a  bill  now  pending 
before  Congress,  HR  9395.  which 
would  extend  for  two  years  the 
period  in  which  Korean  veterans 
can  apply  for  GI  Bill  training 
benefits.  If  passed,  and  there  is 
not  even  a  shadow  of  a  doubt 
that  it  will  not,  this  measure 
would  give  Korean  veterans  the 
same  period  of  time  starting  and 
finishing  training  as  awarded 
World  War  II  veterans  —  four 
years  from  date  of  discharge  to 
begin  training  and  nine  years 
for  completion  If  this  bill  is 
passed  before  August  20,  1954, 
the  earliest  cut-off  deadline  will 
be  moved  up  from  August  20, 
1954  to  August  20,   1956. 

Korean  veterans  who  were 
separated  from  the  armed  forces 


R.  Freeman 
before  July  16.  1952,  and  who 
have  not  received  mustering- 
out  payments  have  only  until 
July  16,  1954,  to  apply.  Muster- 
ing-out  pay  applications  are 
available  at  the  nearest  military 
or  naval  installation. 

Somewhere  down  the  line  it 
seems  that  Korean  veterans  are 
not  getting  accurate  Information 
regarding  their  financial  obliga- 
tions to  training  institutions 
When  an  institution  is  approved 
by  the  StatP  Approving  Agency 
and  the  Veterans  Administra- 
tion, this  means  that  Korean 
veterans  are  entitled  to  receive 
educational  benefits  from  these 
institutions.  The  Veterans  Ad- 
ministration, however,  does  not 
make  any  kind  of  contract  with 
these  institutions  for  the  pay- 
ment of  tuition  and  other  fee-, 
for  Korean  veterans — unless  tht 
veteran  is  disabled  and  is  enter 
ing  school  under  the  provision 
of  Public  Law  894.  All  othe. 
Korean  veterans  have  to  pay 
their  own  tuition  and  other  feet 
due  and  payable  at  the  time  o 
registration.  The  Veterans  Ad- 
ministration will  reimburse  th 
veteran  in  the  form  of  monthl 
subsistence.  We  find  this  to  b 
a  very  important  item  as  95f 
of  the  veterans  who  report  fo 
registration  expect  to  have  thel 
fees  and  tuition  paid  by  th 
Veterans    Administration. 


Profile  of  Chopin 


By  Julius  E.  Reeves,  Jr. 


Chopin,  the  poet-genius  of  the 
piano,  has  sung  through  that 
instrument  the  tragedy  of  Eng- 
land, his  mother's  land,  and  on 
it  he  played  with  the  beauty 
and  sweetness  of  France,  his 
father's  land. 

Of  all  who  wrote  for  the  piano, 
Chopin  represents  in  his  music 
the  spirit  of  the  keyboard.  His 
music  could  not  have  been  ex- 
pressed in  any  other  medium. 

In  fact  his  music  is  so  en- 
chanting that  it  has  become  the 
source  of  many  popular  songs. 

The  movies  have  found  Cho- 
pin's music  most  ideal  for  creat- 
ing moods  of  romance  and  vivid 
pictures. 

Born  in  Warsaw  in  1810.  Cho- 
pin lived  half  of  his  life  in  Paris, 
but  his  sympathy  toward  his  be- 
loved Poland  moved  this  gentle 
soul  to  proud  defiance,  expressed 
superbly  in  the  epic  and  dra- 
matic poetry  of  his  art. 

Chopin  enjoyed  good  company 
and  in  return  he  was  universally 


loved.  The  music  he  made  wa 
suitable  for  the  drawing  room 
and  salons  of  the  rich  and  grea 
of  his  time. 

When  he  was  twenty-one,  Cho 
pin  met  the  great  French  novel 
ist.  George  Sand,  who  was  si. 
years  older.  In  contrast  to  th 
delicate  and  ailing  pianist,  Sam 
was  a  dynamo  who  became  th- 
most  prolific  and  controversial 
woman  author  of  her  time.  Bu 
such  is  the  mysterious  magne- 
tism of  art  that  the  two  fell 
deeply  in  love. 

Remember  Chopin,  master  pi 
anist  and  composer,  wheneve 
you  hear  someone  play  one  o 
his  songs  or  when  you  yourset! 
perhaps,  sing  "I'm  Always  Chas- 
ing Rainbows."

By   Ardelma   G.   Isaac 

The  Alpha  Mu  Chapter  of  the 
Alpha  Kappa  Mu  Honor  Society 
has  established  a  tutorial  system 
at  Savannah  State  College.  The 
Tutors  are  trying  to  help  stim- 
ulate scholarship,  decrease  the 
number  of  academic  casualties. 
and  promote  a  more  wholesome 
student  -  teacher  relationship. 
These  tutors  are  happy  to  help 
students  with  their  subject- 
iiiatter  problems.  The  chapter 
is  advised  by  Dr.  E.  K.  Williams, 
oordinator  of  General  Educa- 
tion. 

The  following  students  have 
been  appointed  tutors  in  the  area 
pecified: 

Biology:  Curtis  Cooper,

Several  years  ago  a  tutorial 
■ystem  was  established  at  Hamp- 
ton Institute,  Hampton,  Virginia. 
The  key  to  the  success  of  the 
tutorial  program  at  Hampton  is 
recorded  in  a  booklet  entitled: 
\  Guide  for  Tutors.  In  this  book- 
let Dean  Thomas  E.  Hawkins 
wrote:  To  do  a  thorough  tutor- 
ing job,  you  must  develop  tech- 
nique which  will  make  it  possi- 
ble for  you  to  help  the  student 
when  he  presents  his  study  prob- 
lem to  you. 

The  following  techniques  are 
suggested: 

1.  Gain  a  thorough  knowledge 
of  the  subject  you  are  tutoring. 

2.  Help  the  student  to  de- 
velop the  right  attitude  toward 
his  studies. 

3.  Talk  with  teachers  of  the 
students  whom  you  tutor  to  as- 
certain the  students  major  study 
difficulties. 

4.  Stimulate  students  to  gain 
confidence  In  their  ability  to 
eliminate  the  feeling  of  inferior- 
ity. 

5.  Organize  brief  study  ses- 
sions for  the  students  in  your 
group  who  have  similar  study 
difficulties. 

6.  Ask  provocative  questions 
of  the  student  being  tutored  to 
encourage  him  to  discuss  his 
problem   freely. 


7.  Make  suggestions  about 
student  habits  which  you  have 
found  to  be  effective. 

8.  Teach  the  student  the 
principles  involved  in  finding 
solutions  to  problems,  but  do  not 
work  out  assignments  for  him. 

9.  Help  the  student  to  diag- 
nose the  errors  he  makes  in  ex- 
aminations.

The  Big  Job 


There  is  now,  has  been  in  the 
past,  and  will  continue  to  be 
in  the  future,  a  job  which  needs 
to  be  done.  This  job  becomes 
bigger  and  bigger  as  time  passes. 
Because  it  takes  the  coopera- 
tion of  the  entire  student  body 
to  get  this  job  done,  it  has  re- 
maind  untouched.  But  now  is 
the  tim  for  us  to  wake  up  and 
realize  that  we,  the  students  of 
Savannah  State  College,  are 
cutting  off  our  noses  to  spite  our 
faces  when  we  fail  to  tackle  the 
"big  job." 

The  big  job  facing  us  is — 
"School  Spirit."  What  has  hap- 
pened to  us,  our  love,  our  loyal- 
ty, and  respect  for  our  school, 
our  Alma  Mater?  The  manner 
in  which  we  walk  around  the 
campus  day  and  night,  week  in 
and  week  out  with  our  heads 
held  high,  thinking  only  of  self- 
advancement,  does  not  make  us 
typical  college  students  of  this 
age.  Instead,  it  proves  that 
somewhere  along  the  way  we 
have  got  the  wrong  idea  or  the 
wrong  impression  of  the  role  of 
educated  people.  It  proves  fur- 
ther that  we  are  not  able  to 
value  the  worth  of  our  status 
—  our  accomplishments  and 
achievements. 

Fellow  students,  if  we  want 
the  best,  then  we  must  put  our 


best  foot  forward.  We  must  help 
those  who  are  trying  to  do  some- 
thing to  promote  our  interests. 
We  should  give  our  representa- 
tives our  best  support,  show 
that  we  are  willing  to  do  our 
parts  by  cooperating  whole- 
heartedly. Don't  leave  it  up  to 
a  few  to  do  everything  there  is 
to  be  done.  YOU  ARE  IMPOR- 
TANT. YOU  COUNT.  AND  YOU 
ARE  THE  ONE! 

Stop  and  think.  Just  what 
prdicament  would  our  school  be 
in  if  those  who  are  taking  an 
active  part  in  our  school  activi- 
ties would  take  the  attitude  we 
have  taken?  That  is,  the  don't 
car  attitude.  What  would  our 
college  be  like?  What  would  we 
be  like?  We  would  be  the  first 
to  babble  out  "we  need  a  school." 
Yet,  "we"  are  the  ones  who  have 
failed  to  show  interest  and  have 
failed  to  do  our  part. 

First  of  all,  let  us  try  to  see 
the  whole  not  just  the  part.  Let 
us  see  oursleves  as  we  see  oth- 
ers. Let  us  say  as  one  writer  has 
said.  "I  am  only  one,  but  I  am 
one.  I  cannot  do  everything,  but 
I  can  do  something.  What  I  can 
do,  I  ought  to  do;  and  what  I 
ought  to  do,  by  the  grace  of 
God  I  will  do." 

Will  YOU  do  YOUR  PART? 
We  need  School  Spirit." 


Why  Are  You  Here? 


By    Doris   Sanders 

Has  the  thought  ever  occurred 
to  you,  just  why  are  you  here? 
Has  it  ever  dawned  upon  you 
that  you  are  here  at  somebody 
else's  expense?  Have  you  ever 
stopped  to  wonder  why  daddy 
failed  to  buy  that  new  overcoat 
this  year  or  why  mother  is  still 
wearing  those  same  wornout 
shoes?  Someone  has  sacrificed 
something  for  you.  Someone  is 
responsible  for  your  being  here. 

Why  are  you  here?  Because 
someone  knows  the  value  of 
higher  education.  You  are  here 
to  learn,  mentally  and  morall. 
You  are  here  to  learn  all  you 
can  about  everything  you  can, 
You  are  here,  not  to  be  satisfied 
in  just  passing  or  getting  by,  but 
to  excel  and  extend  yourself. 
You  are  here  because  in  an  age 


like  this,  education  is  indispen- 
sable. You  must  have  educa- 
tion in  order  to  cope  with  prob- 
lems now,  and  in  later  life. 

You  must  qualify  yourself  to 
do  a  good  job.  For  a  teacher 
who  is  well-informed,  alert,  and 
well-prepared,  is  never  afraid  to 
face  his  class.  And  only  those 
individuals  who  are  well-in- 
formed will  secure  the  jobs. 
What  you  should  do,  is  to  begin 
now  preparing  yourselves,  not  to 
shrink  from,  but  to  accept  this 
challenge. 

And  as  the  school  year  contin- 
tinues  to  grow  shorter  and  short- 
er, I  hope  to  see  in  each  of  you, 
the  spirit  of  learning  exempli- 
fied. Do  your  best  and  be  your 
best  at  all  times.  Prepare  your- 
selves now,  for  the  challenges 
of  tomorrow. 


Why  We  Celebrate  Thanksgiving 


By  Elizabeth  Jordan 
"Let  us  give  thanks."  Many 
of  us  lose  the  real  significance 
of  this  national  day,  Thanks- 
giving Day,  because  we  are  not 
familiar  with  its  origin  and  we 
do  not  feel  the  real  value  of  the 
word,  "thanksgiving." 

Thanksgiving  Day  is  a  nation- 
al   religious    festival    celebrated 


on  the  same  day  throughout  the 
country.  It  dates  from  1863.  Mrs. 
Sarah  J.  Hale  has  been  given 
credit  for  bringing  this  about. 
In  1827,  while  editor  of  the 
Ladies'  Magazin  in  Boston,  she 
urged  the  observance  of  a  uni- 
form day  throughout  the  coun- 
try for  the  expression  of  thanks 
throughout  the  year.    Mrs.  Hale 


A  Look  Into 
The  News 

Current    News    Analysis 
By  Ronald  T.  Evans 

At  the  very  early  part  of  this 
month  the  American  people  went 
to  the  polls  and  elected  a  demo- 
cratic Congress  to  guide  the 
destiny  of  the  nation  for  the 
next  two  years.  There  is  no 
doubt  in  the  minds  of  many 
what  factors  are  responsible  for 
the  defeat  of  the  very  popular 
Republican  party  of  1952,  headed 
by  Dwight  D.  Eisenhower. 

It  is  the  belief  of  this  reporter 
that  several  factors  contributed 
to  the  defeat  of  the  G.  O.  P  , 
among  which  party  solidarity 
ranks  foremost  a  sa  factor.  Since 
the  victory  of  1952  there  has  been 
a  struggle  between  the  Taft 
groups,  the  Dewey  groups,  the 
liberal  Republicans  and  the  Mc- 
Carthy crowd.  However,  there 
are  other  factors  which  contrib- 
uted such  as  (1)  the  farm  pol- 
icy, (2)  the  McCarthy  hearings, 
which  certainly  brought  no 
credit  to  the  party,  and  (3 1  un- 
employment.

Sundown 

By    Isaiah   Mclver 

As  the  sun  is  setting  low 

And    the  darkness  slowly  steals 

the  day 
The  moon  and  stars  begin  their 

nightly    escape 
In  the  heaven  above  at  sundown. 
The  moon  is  shining  in  all  its 

gracious  splendor, 
As  the  sun  i&  soundly  sleeping 

in  its  bed  of  gold, 
And    the    stars    twinkle    in    the 

heaven   so  tender 
At  sun  down. 
All  creatures  of  the  earth  are 

soundly  sleeping 
And  there  is  never  a  sound  of 

weeping, 
As  the  dew  sends  down  its  mois- 

tering  fragrance 
To  feed  the  flowers  so  fragrant 

and  tender, 
At   sun    down. 

From    nowhere    comes   the    eve- 
ning breeze 
Sighing  softly  through  the  trees, 
At  sun  down. 
Everywhere     is     peaceful      and 

sweet, 
When  the  sun  is  setting  low 
And  the  day  slowly  steals  away, 
At  sun  down. 

Will  You? 

By   Solomon   Green 

If  in  the  army  I  should  go, 
This  time  another  year; 
Promise  me  that  you'll  be  true, 
'Til  I  return,  my  dear. 
And  darling,  if  in  parting, 
I   fail  to   receive   that  good-bye 

kiss; 
Let  this  music  and  this  writing 
Forever  be  your  bliss. 
If  in  the  army  I  should  go, 
I'll  love,  wait  and  brood  for  you, 
Promise  me  that  you  will,  too, 
Will  you?  Will  you?  Will  you? 

did  not  stop  there,  but  wrote 
other  editorials  to  the  governors 
of  all  the  states,  and  to  the 
President. 

On  October  3,  1863,  President 
Lincoln  Issued  a  national 
Thanksgiving  Proclamation,  set- 
ting apart  the  last  Thursday 
in  November  as  the  day  to  be  ob- 
served. In  some  localities  re- 
ligious services  are  held  in 
churches  and  afterwards  the 
people  gather  around  to  bounte- 
ous feasting  and  praising  God. 

As  we  approach  this  day  let 
us  be  mindful  of  its  surround- 
ing significance.  Let  us,  too.  like 
the  pilgrims  of  long  ago,  give 
thanks  unto  God  for,  "His  mer- 
cy is  everlasting  and  His  truth 
endurcth  through  all  genera- 
tions." 


Resources 

Modern  man  is  constantly  in 
search  of  supplies  and  materials 
which  he  may  use  to  develop  his 
ideas  and  ideals.  The  search  in 
the  physical  world  has  been  ob- 
vious and  dramatic.  The  hunt 
for  uranium  reminds  one  of  the 
days  of  the  "gold  rush".  The 
search  in  the  field  of  the  social 
sciences  has  been  persistent, 
though  less  dramatic.  This  is 
true,  perhaps,  because  much  of 
the  materials  required  for  the 
solution  of  social  and  personal 
problems  can  be  found  in  the 
minds  of  individuals.  The  ma- 
terials required  to  answer  ques- 
tions and  solve  problems  in  this 
area  must  be  identified  in  what 
many  have  had  to  say.  The 
hunting  grounds  for  these  ma- 
terials lie  in  books,  magazines, 
and  other  forms  of  written  com- 
munication. 

During  the  month  of  November 
American  colleges,  along  with 
other  institutions  of  our  society, 
observe  two  national  weeks — 
American  Education  Week  and 
National  Book  Week.  During 
American  Education  Week  many 
were  concerned  about  our  schools, 
their  financial  support  and  their 
contribution  to  the  American  way 
of  life.  National  Book  Week, 
which  followed  American  Educa- 
tion Week,  was  directly  related 
to  all  of  the  materials  discussed 
in  each.  In  fact,  many  individ- 
uals think  of  books  primarily  in 
terms  of  schools  and  colleges. 
The  much  broader  concept  of 
books  and  written  materials  as 
resources  for  answers  and  solu- 
tions to  individual  and  group 
problems  is  less  widespread.  Such 
a  limited  concept  of  books  con- 
stantly restricts  the  growth  and 
achievement  of  the  individuals 
out  of  school,  either  as  dropouts 
or  graduates,  as  well  as  that  of 
students  in  college. 

A  little  study  on  what  one  may 
find  in  books  and  magazines  will 
revi-al  a  serious  neglect  of  vital 
resources  within  the  reach  of 
every  college  student.  The  ma- 
terials which  students  need  to 
educate  themselves  can  be  found 
in  abundance  in  books  and 
magazines.  If  one  wishes  to 
strengthen    his    motive    for    at- 


tending college;  if  one  wishes  to 
gain  inspiration;    if  one  wishes 
to  acquire  a  point  of  view  or  a 
philosophy  of  life;  if  one  wishes 
to  discover  the  things  which  have 
been  worthwhile  and  significant 
in    our    society    and    culture;    If 
one  wishes  information  and  facts 
in  any  general  or  specific  field; 
If  one  wishes  to  find  help  for 
personal  and  social  adjustment; 
one  can  discover  any  one  or  all 
of  them  in  the  books  and  peri- 
odicals in  which  other  individ- 
uals have  expressed  themselves. 
It  is  probably  not  an  overstate- 
ment of  fact  to  say  that  this  is 
one  of  the  most  neglected   re- 
sources   which    college    students 
possess.    The  Bible  and  the  dic- 
tionary  probably  constitute   the 
two  books  which  are  used  most 
frequently.     These  two  books,  l 
am  told  by  scholars  in  the  field 
do   not  yield   anything  like  the 
contribution  which  the  average 
individual  ought  to  receive  from 
each.      These     two     books,     lik- 
many  others,  should  contrlbub 
in  a  larger  manner  to  one's  liv- 
ing and  learning. 
.In-  my  classes  in  general  psy- 
chology,   it    was    customary    foi 
the  students  to  read  and  repor 
on  the  psychological  novels  whicl. 
were  written  each  year.  In  thi 
way,  many  students  were  intro- 
duced   to  an  area  of   literatun 
which    had    special    values    fo: 
them   personally.     In    a  simila 
manner,  every  field  of  study  h 
college   is  related  to  a  body  o; 
literature,     current     and     pas' 
found  in  the  libraries  and  in  th- 
bookstores,  Growth  in  living  an. 
learning  can  be  greatly  extender 
through  the  utilization  of  such 
resources.  The  college  student  o: 
today  is  expected  to  acquire  th' 
habits,     skills,     and     motivatioi. 
needed  to  exploit  the  resource, 
that  lie  in  materials  which  hav- 
been    written    in    the    form    of 
books,    magazines,    and    paper.'-- 
The    reactions    of    minds    witl. 
various  backgrounds  will  produc 
new  thoughts,  ideas,  and  goal, 
of    achievement.    The    creativit;. 
much  sought  to  make  our  work:

from  such  a  medium  of  inter- 
action.

/?'Mr.    John    B.    Clemmons 

Mr.  John  B,  Clemmons.  chair- 
man of  the  Mathematics  and 
Physics  department  at  Savan- 
nah State  College,  returned  re- 
cently from  two  years  of  study 
as  a  Ford  Fellow  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Southern  Calofirnia. 

Mr.  Clemmons  began  his 
studies  in  Mathematics  at  the 
U.  S.  C.  in  September,  1954. 
While  at  the  U.  S.  C,  he  was 
awarded  a  Fellowship  from  the 
Ford  Foundation  Fellowship  Or- 
ganization worth  $5,000,  on  April 
1,  1952.  jjpre"  awards  granted 
by  the  FrF.  F.  O.  range  from 
$4.500-$8,000  per  year  in  value. 
These  awards  are  granted  on 
evidence  of  scholarship,  pre- 
vious   training,    potentiality    or 


promise  in  a  chosen  field,  Mr 
Clemmons'  having  been  mathe-

When  asked  if  he  liked  the 
surrounding  at  the  U.  S.  C,  Mr 
Clemmons  said:  "Yes,  I  liked  it 
very  much  books-people.  Some 
of  my  most  pleasant  experiences 
were  meeting  people  from  for- 
eign countries,  studying  in  the 
same  area  that  I  was  or  in  dif- 
ferent areas.  I  could  say,  meet- 
ing people  from  foreign  coun- 
tries who  knew  no  color  line  and 
others  were  gaining  the  reassur- 
ance to  still  compete  with  some 
of  the  best  qualified  people." 

"I  was  accepted  as  any  other 
student  in  the  classroom;  found 
seminars  quite  useful,  and  led

Why  Brides  Wear  White 

Tony  Bracato  writes  in  the

wears  white  because  it's  the  most 
joyful  day  of  her  life.  Wonder 
why  the  groom  wears  black?

New  Use  For  Beanies 

While  street  and  torch  dances 
are  banned  because  of  the  dan- 
ger and  destruction  their  in- 
volve, the  freshman  council  at 
Brigham  Young  University  has 
found  a  new  use  for  the  fresh- 
man beanies.  Freshmen  will 
turi  in  their  blue  and  white 
chapeaux  to  be  used  as  decora- 
tions for  the  homecoming  float.

close  to  having  th  minimum  for 
living  expenses,  169  marks 
(about  $40),  not  including  uni-

Students  Get  Break 

Found — one  series  of  Univer- 
sity regulations  designed  to  give 
the  student  the  break.  At  least, 
that's  what  it  says  in  the  list  of 
this  year  by  the  University  of 
class  scheduling  policies  adopted 
Wyoming  faculty.  In  an  effort 
to  keep  confusion  to 'a  minimum, 
a  University  Scheduling  Commit- 
tee studied  past  class  scheduling 
practices  and  came  up  with  a 
number  of  suggestions,  later 
adopted  by  faculty  vote. 

One  of  the  guilding  principles 
is  that  "courses  shall  be  sched- 
uled at  hours  beneficial  to  all  in 
the  following  priority:  "To  create 
a  workable  profgram  for  the  stu- 
dent," heads  the  list.  Second 
on  the  priority  list  is  the  Uni- 
versity, then  the  individual  de- 
partment, and  finally,  the  in- 
structor.

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


nbcr,  1954 


By  James  O'Neil 

The  Tigers'  homecoming  was 
spoiled  by  Alabama  State,  39-0. 

Before  a  homecoming  crowd 
of  approximately  3,000  fans  at 
Savannah  State  College  Athletic 
Field,  the  Alabama  State  Hor- 
nets of  Montgomery,  Alabama, 
downed  the  Savannah  State  Tig- 
ers by  a  score  of  39-0.  The  visi- 
tors took  a  commanding  lead  of 
19-0  by  half  time  and  scored  20 
more  points  in  the  last  half  to 
take  the  victory  back  to  Mont- 
gomery. 

After  receiving  the  kick  off. 
the  Alabama  State  Hornets  mov- 
ed the  ball  down  to  Savannah's 
4  yard  line  in  5  plays,  only  to 
have  the  ball  taken  by  the  Tigers 
on  downs.  After  failing  to  move 
the  ball,  the  Tigers  kicked  out 
to  their  own  35  yard  line.  On 
the  first  play,  William  Stokes, 
Alabama  State  star  quarterback, 
passed  to  halfback  Otis  Leftwich 
for  their  touchdown.  The  try 
for  the  extra  failed  as  Stokes 
tried  going  through  the  center 
of  the  line. 

After  the  second  quarter,  the 
Hornets  began  to  take  to  the  air. 
which  proved  to  be  too  much  for 
the  Tigers.  The  outstanding 
players  for  Savannah  were 
James  Willis,  E.  Z.  McDaniel 
and  Robert  Dulaney.  Alabama 
State  was  led  by  William  Stokes. 
Jappie  Carnegie  and  William 
Gray,

man  handed  Savannah  their 
second  worst  defeat  of  the  sea- 
son as  McArthur,  Bethume's  star 
quarterback,  passed  for  touch- 
downs and  set  up  the  score  with 
other  passes.  Aftr  reeceivlng 
the  kickoff,  the  Wildcats  march- 
ed to  the  Tigers'  54  yard  line  in 
five  plays.  Unable  to  gain  more 
yards  on  the  ground,  quarterback 
McArthur  took  to  the  air  and  hit 
Sanders  with  a  35  yard  pass.  On 
the  next  play,  halfback  Shields 
ran  the  remaiinng  10  yards  for 
their  first  touchdown. 

The  Tigers  scored  their  only 
touchdown  in  the  fourth  period 
when  halfback  Robert  Butler 
went  back  in  punt  formation  and 
passed  to  end  L.  J.  McDaniel 
for  60  yards.  On  the  next  play 
Butler  went  11  yards  off  guard 
for  6  points.  This  was  the  first 
time  the  Tigers  scored  on  Be- 
thume  since  the  days  of  Savan- 
nah State's  A)!-American  Robert 
Slocum. 

McArthur,  Shields,  Robinson, 
Rainey  and  Sanders  were  the 
outstanding  players  for  Bethune 
Cookman.  The  Tigers  were  led 
by  Butler,  Turner,  Burns,  Ashe 
and  Willis.

Theodore  N.  Collins,  Jr.,  has 
been  selected  by  the  Student 
Marketing  Institute  of  New  York 
to  be  The  American  Tobacco

tive on  the  Savannah  State  Col-

sentative he  will  be  presenting 
members  of  the  student  body 
with  sample  packs  of  LUCKY 
STRIKE  and  PALL  MALL  ciga- 
rettes throughout  the  year  to  ac- 
quaint them  with  the  qualities 
of  these  products  of  The  Ameri- 
can Tobacco  Company,  America's 
leading  manufacturer  of  ciga- 
rettes. 

The  representative  will  be  glad 
to  cooperate  with  campus  organ- 
izations in  planning  college 
floats,  decorations,  dances,  par- 
ties, smokers,  carnivals  booths, 
etc.  He  *will  also  cooperate  with 
local  campus  stores  to  increase 
their  cigarette  sales.  The  cur- 
rent campaign,  one  of  the  most 
intensive  conducted  in  the  col- 
lege field,  is  aimed  at  maintain- 
ing LUCKIES'  status  as  the  most 
popular  "regular"  size  cigarette 
in  the  nation's  colleges  and 
PALL  MALL'S  place  as  the  lead- 
ing "king"  size,  as  established 
by  34.440  actual  student  inter- 
views with  smokers  in  colleges 
from  coast  to  coast  conducted  in 
May  1954. 

The  Campus  Representative 
will  be   participating  in  a  pro- 


fessional, national  campaign 
based  on  the  "earn-while-you- 
learn"  principal.  He  will  be  paid 
while  he  learns  practical  busi- 
ness techniques  to  supplement 
theory  studied  in  the  classroom. 
He  was  chosen  after  a  careful 
screening  process  by  an  SMI  Re- 
gional Supervisor  and  the  SMI 
Faculty  Supervisor.  In  addition 
to  gaining  valuable  experience, 
the  Campus  Representative  will 
receive  a  "Certificate  of  Com- 
mendation" describing  his  work 
for  The  American  Tobacco  Com- 
pany. This  certificate,  which  Is 
proof  of  marketing  experience, 
has  helped  many  former  SMI 
Representatives  secure  excellent 
positions  in  the  business  world. 


It's  all  in  the  interest  of 
science,  Dr.  Marian  E.  Ewen- 
sald,  of  the  UCLA  department 
of  home  economics,  says.  The 
project  may  determine  require- 
ments of  the  body  for  the  ap-

Rams,  lo-b 

The  Albany  State  Rams  han- 
ded Savannah  State  their  fifth 
loss  of  the  season  as  the  Tigers 
were  defeated  15-6  at  Albany. 
Ga.  Savannah  State  threatened 
to  score  in  the  first  two  minutes 
of  the  game  when  halfback  Rob- 
ert Butler  ran  58  yards  to  the 
Rams'  30  yard  line,  only  to  have 
the  play  called  back  when  an  off 
side  penalty  wa-  called  against 
the  Tigers.  The  first  half  ended 
with  neither  team  being  able  to 
score.  With  neither  team  being 
able  to  score  on  the  ground,  both 
teams  took  to  the  air  in  the  last 
half  with  Albany  State  drawing 
the  first  blood  when  halfback 
Robret  Nelson  passed  34  yards  to 
end.  Morris  Williams  for  a  touch- 
down. Th  extra  point  was  good 
and  gave  the  Rams  a  7-0  third 
quarter  lead.  The  Rams  scored 
a  safety  on  the  Tigers  when  Rob- 
ert Butler's  kick  was  blocked  in 
the  end  zone.  The  Rams  scored 
their  last  touchdown  when  Nel- 
son passed  to  Glenn  for  a  30- 
yard  touchdown.  The  try  for 
the  extra  point  was  blocked. 
With  only  six  minutes  left  in  the 
game.  The  Savannah  State  Ti- 
gers began  to  use  their  passing 
combination  from  Butler  to  Col- 
lier which  proved  to  be  the  Tig- 
ers' number  one  offense  weapon. 
After  the  Tigers  took  over  the 
ball  on  their  15  yard  line.  But- 
ler passed  to  Ford  for  15  yards. 
On  the  next  play,  again  it  was

a  touchdown,  the  play  covering 
60  yards.  Th  try  for  the  extra 
point  was  blocked.  The  out- 
standing players  for  Savannah

Collier  and  Coxum.  Albany  was 
led  by  Robert  Nelson,  Morris 
Williams  and  Johnnie  Glenn.

COLLEGE  SMOKERS  PREFER  Luckies  —  and  by  z 
margin— according  to  the  largest  and  latest  coast-to-coast 
college  survey.  Once  again,  the  No.  1  reason:  Luckies  taste 
better.  They  taste  better  because  Lucky  Strike  means  fine 
tobacco.  Then,  that  tobacco  is  toasted  to  taste  better. 
"It's  Toasted"—  the  famous  Lucky  Strike  process  —  tones 
up  Luckies'  light,  good-tasting  tobacco  to  make  it  taste 
even  better.  The  pleasure  you'll  get  from  Luckies'  better 
taste  is  vividly  depicted  in  the  Droodle  above,  titled:

■  3) 


The  dates  for  the  Annual 
Leadership  Institute  for  the  cur- 
runt  school  year  are  January  16- 
21,  1955.  The  Institute,  which  Is 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Per- 
sonnel Department,  is  being  con- 
ducted by  the  following  com- 
mittee: Mr.  George  B.  Williams 
and  Miss  Madeline  Harrison,  co- 
chairmen,  Miss  Johnnie  M.  Wil- 
liams, Miss  Carolyn  Patterson, 
Miss  Louella  Johnson,  Mr.  Prince 
Wynn,  Mr.  Eugene  Isaac,  Mr. 
W.  J.  Holloway. 

The  chief  emphasis  of  the  In- 
stitute is  to  assist  in  the  im- 
provement of  our  student  leaders 
of  campus  organizations.  If  this 
goal  is  achieved,  then  our  fu- 
ture community  leaders  should 
be  better  prepared  to  take  their 
places  in  all  phases  of  civic  life. 
In  its  attempt  to  reach  this  goal, 
the  Institute  emphases,  the  se- 


lection of  leaders,  the  responsi- 
bilities of  leaders  and  those  who 
follow,  the  proper  use  of  parlia- 
mentary   procedure. 

The  Institute  hopes  to  reach 
all  students  through  its  assemb- 
ly program.  In  the  smaller 
clinics  on  parliamentary  proce- 
dure it  will  work  with  all  officers 
of  all  student  organizations,  and 
their  advisors.  Through  the 
freshman  and  sophomore  orien- 
tation classes  it  hopes  to  discuss 
as  many  phases  of  leadership 
as  the  students  think  necessary. 


A  MERRY  CHRISTMAS 

and  a 

HAPPY  NEW  YEAR 

From  the  Staff 


Greetings  from  the  Student  Council  Box 

By  Curtis  V.  Cooper 

We  are  rapidly  approaching  the  yuletlde  season  when  all  of  us 
will  pause  from  our  dally  chores  to  pay  tribute  to  the  miracle  of 
Bethlehem. 

Christmas  is  a  time  for  joy,  it  is  a  time  when  all  of  our  burdens 
should  be  lifted.  Our  hearts  should  be  filled  with  the  spirit  of  giving, 
and  a  new  look  toward  our  tasks  should  be  assumed. 

America  is  a  wonderful  place,  and  we  hope  that,  in  spite  of  the 
opposing  forces  of  the  worlld.  we  will  be  able  to  keep  it  that  way. 
This  is  a  land  of  freedom,  of  good  will,  of  future,  and  of  inspiration 
for  the  oppressed.  In  this  land  we  know  and  observe  the  true  mes- 
sage of  that  most  wonderful  star  that  shined  in  the  east,  signifying 
that  God  the  creator  of  all  had  given  men  a  savior  who  would 
reign  as  King  of  Kings,  and  Lord  of  Lords  forever. 

Let  us  join  hands  with  the  people  of  this  country,  and  the  peo- 
ples of  the  world  in  paying  respect  to  the  greatest  gift  in  the  history 
of  the  world. 

Let  us  this  Christmas  season  make  noble  and  liberal  contribu- 
tions to  CARE,  to  the  United  Community  Fund,  to  the  Cancer  Fund, 
to  the  Tuberculosis  campaign,  to  our  churches,  to  the  YMCA,  and 
YWCA,  and  to  those  persons  In  our  communities  and  those  abroad, 
who  are  in  need  of  our  aid.  We  urge  both  students  and  faculty 
members  to  accept  this  challenge.  And,  with  this  challenge,  we  hope 
you  will  remember  the  savior's  message  that  it  is  better  to  give  than 
to  receive. 

We  certainly  hope  that  this  Christmas  will  be  one  of  the  mer- 
riest you  have  ever  known.  And  when  you  return  in  '55,  may  your 
new  year  be  filled  with  happiness  and  achievement  here  at  the 
college.

Christmas,  A  Triangle 


As  we  think  in  terms  of  ob- 
serving Christmas,  suppose  we 
think  of  the  observance  from  a 
three-fold  point  of  view  or  from 
a  triangular  point  of  view. 
Three-fold,  because  there  are 
three  main  elements  with  vary- 
ing degrees  of  importance. 

The  first  element  is  sacred- 
ness.  Sacred,  because  it  is  the 
birthday  of  our  supreme  being, 
Jesus  Christ.  The  second  ele- 
ment is  thankfulness.  Be  ye 
thankful  unto  God  for  having 
bestowed  his  love,  mercy,  and 
kindness  upon  us  and  who  gave 
us  life  itself.  The  third  ele- 
ment is  giving.  There  is  an  art 
in  giving.  Give  not  with  the 
expectation  of  receiving,  but 
give  because  there  is  an  inner 
motive  which  urges  you  to  do  so 
with  a  warm  spirit  and  a  willing 
mind.  Give  because  there  is  a 
definite  need  to  do  so.  Put  sun- 
shine in  someone's  life  by  giv- 


ing to  those  who  are  in  need, 
those  who  are  unfortunate,  those 
who  can  be  made  happy  because 
of  a  simple,  yet  meaningful  gift. 

There  you  have  the  triangle. 
It  is  a  triangle  because  it  has 
three  sides,  two  of  which  are 
of  equal  importance.  The  first 
element  represents  the  base  of 
the  triangle.  The  base  because 
without  the  birth  of  Christ  there 
would  be  no  life.  It  is  the  part 
by  which  all  other  phases  of  life 
must  pass.  The  latter  two  ele- 
ments represent  the  two  sides 
of  the  triangle,  which  are  of 
equal  importance. 


So  when  we  are  about  to  ob- 
serve or  celebrate  Christmas,  let 
us  think  of  the  triangle — the 
three  major  elements:  sacred- 
ness,  thankfulness,  and  giving. 
These  things  mean  Christmas. 
Will  you  celebrate  Christmas  in 
the  right  way? 


s/c 
Isaiah  Mclvek/      The  Democratic  senator  from 

Texas,  Mr.  Lyndon  Johnson,  who 
will  be  the  Senate  Majority 
Leader  in  the  next  session  of 
the  Senate,  outlines  the  prospect 
as  he  sees  it. 

What  will  th  Democrats  do 
about  the  McCarthy  censure  if 
no  vote  is  reached  this  year?  We 
will  face  up  to  the  issue.  We 
are  ready  to  vote  now,  we  have 
been  ready  to  vote  for  quite 
sometime.  If  an  issue  should  be 
faced  at  this  Congress  and  cir- 
cumstances prevent  it  from  be- 
ing faced,  we  will  certainly  live 
up  to  our  responsibilities  and 
face  it  when  we  take  over. 

What  will  the  1955  Democratic 
Legislative  program  be?  We  will 
proceed  as  rapidly  as  possible  to 
build  up  the  nation's  defense; 
to  assure  our  farmers  a  fairer 
share  of  the  nation's  income, 
to  break  the  bottleneck  of  for- 
eign trade,  to  broaden  the  credit 
base  and  put  an  end  to  the  evil 
effects  of  the  hard-money  policy. 
To  what  extent  do  you  expect 
to  cooperate  with  President 
Eisenhower?  Naturally,  we  don't 
yet  know  what  will  be  in  the 
program  which  he  will  present 
to  the  next  Congress.  The  only 
thing  that  can  be  said  now  is 
that  we  Democrats  will  cooperate 
on  any  measure  which  our  inner 
conscience  tells  us  will  advance 
the  best  interests  of  the  coun- 
try. But  in  any  event,  there  will 
be  no  personal  attacks  upon  the 
integrity  of  the  President  or 
upon  his  intentions. 

Where  will  you  not  go  along 
with  the  President?  At  the  mo- 
ment, the  most  important  issue 
in    disagreement   is    the    Dixon- 


The  Christmas  Story: 
Giving  and  Receiving 


By  Rosa  M.  Stubbs  '56 

Christmas  is  part  of  a  family 
affair.  Dad  sometimes  thinks  he 
is  playing  Santa  for  the  entire 
town  when  holiday  bills  start 
flowing  in.  Mother  feels  like 
taking  to  her  bed  for  a  Jong, 
long  rest  after  days  of  baking, 
cleaning,  decking  the  halls  with 
holiday  decoration,  and  oversee- 
ing the  hundred  and  one  things 
that  are  a  part  of  the  family's 
Christmas    spirit. 

The  kiddies  are  wrapped  up 
in  giving  and  receiving  gifts  at 
Christmas  time  and  in  looking 
forward  to  Saint  Nicholas'  ar- 
rival on  Christmas  Eve  night. 

But  first  of  all  we  should  know 
how  the  custom  of  giving  gifts 
at  Christmas  time  came  into 
existence.  According  to  one 
legend  there  were  three  sisters 
living  on  the  outskirts  of  Myra 
who  wanted  to  get  married.  They 
had  their  future  husbands  se- 
lected and  were  all  ready  to  "pop 
the  question."  No  doubt  they  had 


the  perfect  spot  picked  to  build 
a  new  home.  But  according  to 
the  custom  of  that  day,  a  wom- 
an was  expected  to  present  her 
suitor  with  a  dowry,  which  con- 
sisted of  money  or  property,  be- 
fore he  would  take  her  for  his 
bride. 

But  the  sisters  were  poor  and 
could  not  offer  a  dowry.  The 
good  Saint  Nicholas  heard  of 
their  situation  and  came  to  their 
rescue.  One  dark  night  while 
the  sisters  lay  sleeping  and 
dreaming  empty  dreams.  Saint 
Nicholas  passed  by  their  home 
and  left  a  bundle  on  the  door- 
step, containing  a  respectable 
dowry  for  each  of  the  three 
young  ladies.  The  girls  were 
married  and  lived  the  tradition- 
al happy  life  thereafter. 

From  this  legend  came  the 
custom  of  giving  gifts  at  Christ- 
mas time,  making  Saint  Nich- 
olas one  of  the  best  loved  sym- 
bols of  the  season. 


Hints  to  Gift-Givers 


By    Pauline    Silas 

Gee,  girls  and  boys,  Christmas 
is  almost  around  the  corner  and 
I  am  sure  you  are  wondering 
what  kind  of  gift  you  are  go- 
ing to  give  that  "dear"  of  yours. 
Well,  here  are  a  few  helpful 
hints  of  do's  and  don'ts. 

Traditionally,  expensive  gifts 
are  improper  between  girls  and 
boys  as  are  items  of  apparel 
like  underwear,  dresses,  and 
blouses  which  are  just  too  per- 


sonal. Among  gifts  that  may  be 
exchanged  are:  books,  inexpen- 
sive jewelry,  pens,  stationery, 
and  items  relating  to  hobbles, 
car  gadgets,  and  the  like.  Flow- 
ers and  candy  are  standard 
items  for  boys  to  give  girls. 
Candy  is  also  a  good  gift  for 
girls    to    give    boys. 

A  picture  of  yourself  for  your 
best  "bear",  this  is  the  nicest 
present  of  all.  However,  guard 
against  scrawling  extravagantly 


worded  sentiments  on  it.  His 
mom  will  read  it  you  know,  not 
to  mention  every  one  of  his  pals. 
Don't  give  out  photographs 
promiscuously.  Any  boy  but 
your  true  love  will  be  embar- 
rassed to  receive  such  a  gift.  Of 
course,  that  kind  of  gift  loses 
its  meaning  if  passed  wholesale. 

When  to  give  gifts:  Christ- 
mas and  birthdays  are  tradition- 
al gift-giving  times,  but  there 
are  other  times  when  you  might 
give   a  little  gift. 

Gifts  between  girls  should  be 
In  good  taste  too.  While  good 
friends  may  give  each  other 
practically  anything  from  night- 
ies to  nail  polish — the  gifts 
should  not  be  too  expensive. 
Family  gifts  should  show  a  bit 
of  ingenuity  as  well  as  generos- 
ity. Be  as  observant  as  you  can 
and  give  accordingly:  a  set  of 
miniature  lipstick  to  the  young- 
er sister  who  is  experimenting 
with  makeup;  a  scarf  for  moth- 
er that  exactly  matches  her 
eyes;  a  good  brace  and  bit  for 
a  handyman  dad. 

When  you  are  given  a  present, 
open  it  at  once  so  that  the  giver 
can  see  your  pleased  expression. 
Thank  the  giver  warmly  and 
sincerely,  but  be  careful  not  to 
carry  on  so  about  it  that  you 
are  obviously  feigning  delight. 
When  a  gift  arrives  from  an  ab- 
sent friend,  don't  ever  hesitate 
to  dash  off  a  thank-you  letter 
within  a  day  or  two. 

In  good  solid  friendships, 
friends  do  not  worry  about 
whether  "her  present  to  me  was 
as  expensive  as  the  one  I  gave 
her,"  or  "I  gave  her  a  Christ- 
mas present,  and  she  didn't  give 
me  one."  Good  friends  give  a 
little  or  a  lot  when  the  spirit 
moves  them;  for  they  know  that 
it  Is  the  spirit  behind  any  gift 
that  counts. 


Message  from  the  President 


By  Tom  Evans 
Will  a  Democratic  Congress 
block  the  Eisenhower  program? 
How  far  will  it  go  along  with  the 
President  on  vital  problems 
which  it  must  consider  in  the 
coming  session?  These  are  some 
of  the  questions  that  are  fore- 
most in  the  minds  of  the  Ameri- 
James  Thomas  /"can  pe0ple. 


Christmas  Is  Always  New 


As  the  Christmas  season  draws 
near,  one  should  see  it  as  an  en- 
tirely new  experience.  The  con- 
cept of  Christmas  is  expected 
to  show  growth  and  maturity. 
The  enjoyment  of  it  must  be 
related  to  experiences  through 
which  one  has  passed  during  the 
year  and  the  years  before.  Each 
year  provides  an  additional  sup- 
ply of  ideas,  memories,  and 
understandings.  It  is  safe  to  say 
that  the  richer  the  experiences 
which  one  has  had  the  deeper - 
and  more  meaningful  will  be 
the  Christmas  joys. 

It  is  necessary  to  prepare  for 
Christmas  as  one  would  prepare 
for  any  other  special  occasion. 
There  is  no  inference  that  one 
should  prepare  to  have  the  most 
joyous  and  the  happiest  Christ- 
mas. Happiness  and  joy  do  not 
come  to  those  who  seek  them  as 
goals  or  ends  in  themselves. 
These  are  to  be  found  when  one 
lives  properly  and  succeeds  in 
providing  for  the  increased  com- 
fort, happiness,  and  joy  of  oth- 
ers. This  activity  is  less  related 
to  financial  expenditure  than 
to  the  expression  of  Interest. 
care,  and  love.  Christmas  is  a 
time  when  individuals  forget 
themselves  and  think  of  their 
fellowmen.  The  activities  asso- 
ciated with  the  observance  of 
Christmas  are  varied,  rapid,  and 
emotionally  charged.  While  to 
many  they  may  seem  extraneous 


and  nonrelated,  these  activities 
provide  the  conditions  for  the 
atmosphere  which  makes  the 
Christmas  Spirit  contagious.  It 
is  perhaps  the  most  important 
season  of  the  year  for  the  pro- 
motion of  thinking  in  terms  of 
the  welfare  of  mankind.  Per- 
haps at  no  other  season  of  the 
year  do  individuals  wish  to  have 
hearts  larger  and  greater  means 
for  expression  of  good  will  than 
at  Christmas  time. 

The  college  students  in  the 
year  1954  will  find  many  op- 
portunities to  express  their 
growth  in  the  concept  of  Christ- 
mas. The  books  which  they  will 
read  during  the  holiday  season, 
the  friendships  that  will  be.  re- 
newed and  acquaintances  that 
will  be  formed  provide  a  vaca- 
tion from  the  routine  of  study. 
This  change  from  the  regular 
program  must,  however,  be  in- 
fluenced by  the  daily  life  of  the 
student  just  as  it  is  with  an  In- 
dividual In  any  other  vocation. 
Those  who  grow  from  year  to 
year  never  construct  for  them- 
selves two  Christmases  which 
are  alike  Whatever  status  one 
may  occupy  today,  he  has  some- 
thing which  others  would  en- 
joy having  him  share.  In  this 
process  of  sharing  and  giving 
one  experiences  the  new  Christ- 
mas each  year.

President 


Yates  contract.  We  also  dis- 
agree strongly  with  the  Secre- 
tary of  Agriculture  on  the  farm 
program.  Other  disagreements 
will  probably  develop.  But  we 
do  not  think  it  is  the  role  of 
a  responsible  party  to  create  di- 
visions solely  for  the  sake  of 
advantage  in  a  coming  elec- 
tion. 

Just  how  much  consultation 
do  the  Democrats  expect  on 
domestic  policy?  We  are  not 
looking  for  bipartisanship  on 
any  domestic  policy.  There  is 
no  reason  for  advance  consulta- 
tion or  advance  cooperation  be- 
tween two  political  parties  on 
such  issues.  If  we  believe  that 
the  President's  policies  advance 
the  interests  of  the  country,  we 
will  advance  them  regardless  of 
their  origin  or  their  party  affili- 
ations. 

How  much  do  you  expect  on 
foreign  policy?  Bipartisanship 
is  entirely  the  prerogative  of  the 
President.  If  he  decides  there 
should  be  no  bipartisanship,  we 
will  not  criticize  him  for  that 
decision,  even  though  we  may 
criticize  his  specific  decisions  in 
the  field  of  foreign  policy.  Bi- 
partisanship in  foreign  policy  is 
of  no  advantage  to  the  opposi- 
tion party.  It  is  a  burden.  If 
the  President  decides  to  run  the

Library's  Christmas 
Check  List 

(Borrow   a    Book    for    the 
Holidays) 

There  is  no  best  way  of  choos- 
ing the  right  book  or  the  recom- 
mended book  for  your  Christmas 
reading  or  giving.  To  help  us 
make  this  decision  we  can  rely 
on  the  Reviewers  or  the  "Best 
Seller"  lists.  Although  the  liter- 
ary critics  and  the  "Lists"  are 
often  at  variance,  a  reader 
should  not  hesitate  to  examine 
and  appraise  a  book  that  the 
reading  public  has  purchased 
consistently  from  week  to  week, 
often  without  the  critics'  ap- 
proval. 

Norman  Vincent  Peale's  The 
Power  of  Positive  Thinking  is  a 
popular  and  reviewer  approved 
book.  Starting  in  October  1952, 
this  title  has  continuously  been 
on  all  best  seller  lists.  It  is  sig- 
nificant that  this  book  which 
gives  men  and  women  a  deeper 
understanding  of  themselves  has 
remained  so  popular. 

The  following  are  among  the 
outstanding  books  of  the  year  on 
government,  politics,  history  and

Association  sponsored  the  cam- 
pus Thanksgiving  Communion 
Service  with  the  able  assistance 
of  our  college  minister.  This 
has  come  to  be  an  annual  ob- 
servance and  each  year  it  seems 
that  the  interest  in  this  service 
increases.  In  spite  of  the  early 
hour  and  the  low  temperature, 
the  attendance  was  very  good. 
We  hope  that  we  can  make  the 
service  such  a  stimulating  one 
that  all  students  and  faculty 
members  who  remain  on  the 
campus  for  the  Thanksgiving 
holidays  will  participate  in  the 
service. 

For  our  Christmas  meeting  we 
have  planned  a  worship  service 
in  keeping  with  the  season  and 
the  telling  of  at  least  one  Christ- 
mas story.  Our  special  attrac- 
tion at  this  meeting  will  be  our 
guest,  Miss  Althea  Williams.  Miss 
Williams  will  give  instructions 
in  the  attractive  and  effective 
wrapping  of  Christmas  gifts. 
Since  everyone  exchanges  gifts 
at  Christmas  time,  we  felt  that 
all  students,  both  men  and  wom- 
en, would  be  interested  in  learn- 
ing new  ways  to  make  these 
gifts   attractive.

LES  MODES 

By  Mercedes  Mitchell  '55 

The  swiftly  approaching  Christ- 
mas season  Is  upon  us  and  it 
finds  everyone  in  a  festive  mood, 
even  the  season's  colors  have  the 
tendency  to  be  bright  and  color- 
ful. The  ripe,  rich  tangerine  and 
forest  green  rate  as  "Hit  Number 
One"  in  the  parade  of  colors. 

Many  parties  and  dances  will 
be  given  during  this  joyous  sea- 
son but  let  us  take  time  out 
amidst  the  hilarious  mood  of  gai- 
ety to  realize  the  true  meaning 
of  Christmas.  The  season's  win- 
ter white  is  symbolic  of  that 
mood- — white  being  pure  and  sac- 
red. 

The  regular  Christmas  colors 
— red  and  green — still  find  their 
place  in  the  rainbow  of  Christ- 
mas fashions.  Many  party  dres- 
ses, made  of  crisp  taffeta,  soft 
satin,  and  dainty  marquisette  are 
red — the  color  of  the  Christmas 
season. 

Accessories,  as  well  as  the  maj- 
or part  of  the  outfit,  contain  the 
green  hue.  Should  the  garment 
be  plaid  or  floral,  green  finds  it- 
self in  the  design  of  beauty.  Ir- 
redescent,  the  green  serves  as  a 
base  for  the  lighter  colors  and 
solid  green  is  lovely,  a  beautiful 
cool  looking  fall  color. 

The  columnist  extends  to  the 
many  readers  "A  Joyous  Yule- 
tide  Season".  See  you  next  year! !

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


December.  1954  ' 


Sports  As  I  See  It 


By  James  O'Neal 


Although  the  Savannah  State  Tigers  won  only  one  game 
this  season,  one  can  very  well  see  that  it  was  a  much  improved 
team  over  last  season.  The  Tigers  scored  only  six  points  last  season 
while  their  opponents  were  scoring  at  will  with  an  amazing  total 
of  435  points.  This  season  the  Tigers  averaged  six  points  per  game 
and  held  their  opponents  to  260  points.  Savannah  managed  to 
score  against  all  of  their  opponents  except  Alabama  State  College 
Much  of  the  succes  of  the  team 


can  be  given  to  head  coach  Ross 
Pearley,  who  took  over  the  team 
at  the  beginning  of  the  season 
with  little  chance  of  scoring  and 
no  chance  of  winning.  Well  done, 
Pearley.  Luck  to  you  next  sea- 
son. 

Four  of  Savannah  State's  play- 
ers were  named  to  the  All  S.  E. 
A.  C.  football  teams.  On  the  first 
team  were  sophomore  guard  Al- 
bert Strutchins  and  senior  full- 
back Willian  Weatherspoon.  So- 
phomore haifback  Robert  Butler 
and  senior  end  James  Collier 
were  placed  on  the  second  team. 

With  two  All  S.  E.  A.  C.  players 
returning  next  year  and  a  much 
improved  team  as  a  whole,  the 
Tigers  will  be  hard  to  beat,  Five

careers  Thanksgiving  Day.  The 
seniors  are  James  Ashe,  James 
Willis,  William  Weatherspoon, 
James  Collier,  and  Louis  Con- 
yers.  Although  most  of  your  col- 
legiate football  has  been  with  a 
losing  team,  you  have  proved 
that  you  can  take  it  when  the 
chips  are  down.  Nice  going,  fel- 
lows, and  luck  to  you. 

Now  that  football  is  a  thing  of 
the  past  and  the  fans  are  begin- 
ning to  get  the  basketball  fever, 
let  us  take  a  look  at  the  Tigers' 
basketball  team.  Last  year  the 
Tigers  were  rated  among  the  top 
Negro  teams  of  the  Nation.  With 
all  the  same  players  back  plus 
the  freshmen  and  other  new- 
comers, they  are  expected  to 
equal  or  better  last  year's  record. 
Last  season  the  Tigers  won  both 
the  S.  E.  A.  C.  conference  and 
tournament  championship.  They 
were  also  invited  to  the  national 


all  record  for  the  season  was  23 
victories  and  9  defeats. 

This  season,  the  Tigers  will 
probably  dominate  everything  in 
their  conference.  However,  the 
team  has  a  heavier  conference 
schedule  ...  so  your  guess  is  as 
good  as  mine. 

Tiger  Cagers  Lose 
Opener  to  S.  C.  Bulldogs 

The  Savannah  State  Tigers  lost 
their  first  home  game  of  the  sea- 
son as  the  South  Carolina  Bull- 
dogs came  from  behind  with  on- 
ly seconds  to  play  to  edge  the 
Tigers  65-82. 

Before  the  game  was  a  minute 
old,  the  Tigers  jumped  out  in 
front  with  a  six-point  lead  but 
found  themselves  trailing  the 
Bulldogs  21-31  at  the  half. 

Savannah's  Cecilio  Williams, 
who  scored  only  six  points  in  the 
first  half,  came  back  with  26 
points  in  the  last  half  to  give 
Savannah  a  three  point  lead 
with  two  minutes  left  in  the 
game.  The  "never  say  die"  Bull- 
dogs came  back  with  6  quiet 
points  to  win  the  game  65-62. 

The  Tigers  will  play  three  more 
games  before  Christmas:  North 
Carolina  State  Callege  at  Dur- 
ham on  December  11,  Benedict 
on  December  14,  and  Clark  Col- 
lege of  Atlanta  on  December  17. 


em  in  the  first  round.  The  over- 


In  Thanksgiving  Classic      tournament     at     Nashville,    but 

The  Savannah  State  Tigers  were  eliminated  by  Texas  South 
won  their  first  game  in  two  years 
as  they  edged  Paine  College  of 
Augusta  7  to  0  in  the  Annual 
Thanksgiving  Classic  at  Savan- 
nah State  Athletic  Field. 

This  was  also  the  first  victory 
of  Coach  Ross  Pearley  at  S.  S.  C 
who  has  taken  over  as  head  men- 
tor of  the  Tigers  this  year.  The 
last  game  the  Tigers  won  was 
against  Paine  College  in  1952 
when  they  defeated  Paine  20-0. 

The  first  three  quarters  found 
neither  team  being  able  to  score 
beceause  of  the  hard  bruising 
tackling.  Savannah  State  threat- 
ened to  score  early  in  the  second 
quarter  when  halfback  Robert 
Butler  ran  46  yards  to  Paines'  28 
yard  line. 

After  receiving  the  kickoff  in 
the  third  quarter,  the  Tigers  run- 
ning attack  began  to  click  with 
halfbacks  Jerry  Turner,  Robert 
Butler,  and  William  Weather- 
spoon doing  the  running.  These 
three  backs  moved  the  ball  from 
their  own  ten-yard  line  down  to 
Paine's  26  yard  line.  This  drive 
was  stopped  when  Paine's  half- 
back Charles  Mathls  intercepted 
one  of  quarterback  Daniel  Burn's 
passes,  and  ran  it  back  to  his  own 
47  yard  line.  On  the  fourth  down 
Paine  was  forced  to  kick  from 
their  own  40  down  to  Savannah's 
25  yard  line.  Quarterback  Daniel 
Burns  returnted  the  punt  back 
to  the  mid-field  stripe.  After  two 
running  piays  which  gained  no 
yardage,  halfback  Butler  passed 
to  fullback  Weatherspoon  for  25 
yards,  and  he  ran  the  ball  to 
Paine's  11  yard  line.  Again  it  was 
Weatherspoon  going  through  to 
the  center  of  the  line  for  10  yards 
which  gave  Savannah  a  first 
down  on  Paine's  1  yard  line.  At 
this  point  Paine  put  on  one  of 
the  greatest  line  stands  of  the 
game  when  they  refused  to  let 
the  Tigers  cross  over  into  pay- 
dirt.  The  third  quarter  ended 
with  Paine  taking  over  on  their 
one  yard  line. 

Taking  no  chances  with  the 
ball  deep  in  their  territory,  Paine 
kicked  on  the  first  down,  and 
Savannah  took  over  on  Paine's 
32  yard  line.  On  the  first  play, 
halfback  Robert  Butler  shook  off 
three  would-be  Paine  tackles, 
and  raced  32  yards  over  Paine's 
goal  line  standing  up  for  6  points 
and  the  only  touchdown  of  the 
game.  Quarterback  Daniel  Burns 
ran  off  tackle  for  the  extra  point. 

The  outstanding  players  for 
Savannah  were  Jerry  Turner,  Al- 
bert Schutchins,  Robert  Butler, 
Robert  Dulaney,  William  Wether- 
spoon,  and  James  Willis.  Paine 
was  led  by  Calvin  Turner,  Jesse 
Oray  and   Charles  Mathis.

It  Is  the  belief  now  that  a 
meeting  of  the  Big  Four  before 
the  end  of  1955  is  a  definite  fact. 
The  principals  would  be  Elsen- 
hower, Churchill,  Mendes-France 
and    Malenkov. 

The  object  of  the  meeting 
would  be  to  find  a  way  other 
than  perpetual  cold  warfare,  by 
which  the  Communist  East  and 
the  Demorcratic  West  can  feel 
reasonably  secure  in  inhabiting 
the  same  globe. 

However,  it  is  the  belief  of  this 
columnist  that  the  pre-condi- 
tions will  have  an  effect  upon 
this  conference.  The  Brussels 
and  Paris  agreements  providing 
a  free  West  Germany,  must  be 
ratified  and  in  effect.  The  Rus- 
sians  must    evidence   sincerity. 

The  above  conditions  would 
fit  the  president's  now  clearly 
drawn  foreign  policy  line,  which 
calls  for  a  determined  effort  to 
keep  the  peace  and  to  flatly  re- 
ject the  alternative  of  an  East- 
West  atomic  war.

Open  House^at 
New  Dormitory 


Eight  students  earned  a  3.00 
average  in  at  least  12  hours  dur- 
ing the  fail  quarter,  1954.  An- 
other 138  students  averaged  2.00 
or  above.  The  3.00  is  the  highest 
possible  average  a  student  can 
attain.  This  is  equivalent  to  a 
straight  "A"  in  all  courses.  The 
100  represents  a  "B"  average. 

Misses  Nadine  Cooper  of  Les- 
lie, Ga.,  Cecila  B.  Hall,  Julia

The  new  Men's  Dormitory  was 
opened  to  the  faculty  and  the 
students  on  Sunday,  January  23 

Guides  met  the  guests  in  the 
lobby  and  took  them  through 
the  building,  showing  the  vari- 
ous parts  and  features  of  the 
building.  In  several  of  the  rooms 
there  were  residents  to  welcome 
the  visitors  to  their  respective 
"home." 

The  visitors  saw  upon  entering 
the  building,  a  large  lounge 
equipped  with  modern  furniture. 
The  directress'  apartment  con- 
sisted of  a  sitting  room  deco- 
rated with  the  same  type  furni- 
ture as  the  main  lounge,  a  bed- 
room,   and    modern    kitchenette. 

Alston  Speaks!/ 
in  Seminar 

Through  the  kindness  of  Mr. 
Robert  C.  Long,  Sr.,  of  the  Busi- 
ness Department,  the  Leadership 
Institute  Committee  was  able  to 
secure  the  services  of  Mr,  Wen- 
dell P.  Alston,  Public  Relations 
representative  of  the  Standard 
Oil  Company.  Mr.  Alston  spoke 
during  one  of  the  Social  Edu- 
cation hours  in  the  College  Cen- 
ter, Wednesday,  January  19.  He 
spoke  on  the  subject  "Leader- 
ship Opportunities  in  Business." 

Mr.  Alston  was  well  equipped 
with  a  wealth  of  information 
that  was  of  interest  to  the  stu- 
dents in  the  business  department 
and  any  others  who  might  not 
intend  to  teach.  He  very  care- 
fully explained  how  opportuni- 
ties for  Negroes  are  opening  up 
in  businesses  that  formerly  em- 
ployed no  Negroes.  If  students 
become  aware  of  these  new  pos- 
sibilities, they  can  begin  prepar- 
ing themselves  for  such  voca- 
tiens.

Eighth  Annual  Leadership  ^ 
Institute  Held  January  16 

The  Eighth  Annual  Leadership  Institute  began  Sunday  morn- 
ing, January  16.  with  the  sermon  given  by  Reverend  L.  S.  Stell, 
Pastor  of  Bethlehem  Baptist  Church.  Rev.  Stell  spoke  from  the 
subject  "In  the  Name  of  Sense".  He  admonished  his  listeners  to 
always  make  their  choices  intelligent  ones.  Never  make  a  de 
cision  without  carefully  weighing 


MISS  MARY  HERD 

Miss  Mary  Herd,  M.  Ed.,  has 
been  appointed  director  of  the 
reading  clinic  at  Savannah  State 
College,  it  was  announced  by 
President  W.  K.  Payne.  She  re- 
places Mrs.  Juanita  Sellers  Stone, 
whose  resignation  became  ef- 
fective at  the  end  of  the  fall 
quarter. 

Miss  Herd  holds  the  A  B.  de- 
gree from  Knoxville  College,  and 
the  M.  Ed.  degree  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Southern  California, 
where  she  has  continued  her 
study  toward  the  doctorate.  Prior 
to  coming  to  Savannah  State, 
Miss  Herd  was  instructor  at  the 
Gompcrs  High  School,  Los  An- 
geles, iwiss  He.d  is  the  editor 
and  publisher  of  Expression,  a 
literary  magazine  issued  month- 
ly. 


all  the  facts.  When  one  is  about 
to  take  on  an  obligation,  he 
should  first  count  the  cost  before 
he  unwittingly  takes  on  the  re- 
sponsibility. Our  leaders  will  not 
be  successful  in  their  respective 
fields  unless  they  assume  this 
attitude. 

The  music  for  the  church  serv- 
ice was  rendered  by  the  Girls' 
Glee  Club  of  Cuyler  Junior  High 
School,  under  the  direction  of 
Miss  Jane  Parker.  They  sang 
"The  Star"  by  Rogers  and  Schu- 
bert's "Ave  Maria." 

The  speaker  for  the  Vesper 
service  was  the  Reverend  Perce! 
O.  Alston,  Pastor  of  the  Midway 
Congregational  Church  and  Di- 
rector of  the  Dorchester  Com- 
munity Cooperative.  Rev.  Alston 
selected  as  his  subject  "What 
Time  Is  It?"  He  explained  that 
he  did  not  mean  what  hour  of 
the  day  or  what  day  of  the  week. 
But  in  a  deeper  or  broader  sense 
he  wanted  to  know  what  time  is 
it?  There  may  be  some  people 
in  the  world  who  would  say  it  is 
time  to  live  for  the  moment  only, 
to  crowd  as  much  fun  as  is  pos- 
sible into  every  day.  There  are 
others  who  say  it  is  time  to  make 
money,  as  only  the  dollar  bill 
has  any  meaning  in  our  present 
way    of   life.     The   speaker    was 


Job  Placement  Clinic  Was 
Held  By  Personnel 


By  George  Johnson 


The  department  of  student  personnel  services  presented  a  job 
placement  clinic  for  the  students  at  Savannah  State  College  in 
Meldrim  Hall  from  January  7-13.  The  activities  of  the  clinic  in- 
cluded: a  job  placement  conference  for  seniors,  a  display  of  job 
possibilities,  and  an  address  on  job  opportunities  in  general  as- 
sembly. 

The  first  session  on  Saturday  morning  was  open  to  seniors. 
It  included  two  general  sessions  and  a  seminar,  featuring  three 
groups;  business,  education,  and  trades  and  industries. 


In  the  first  general  session 
and  Behavior  Employees  Expect 
of  Employees",  was  presented  by 
Mr  Sidney  A.  Jones,  a  business 
man  of  Savannah;  Mr.  W.  W. 
McCune,  assistist  superintendent 
of  public  schools  and  director  of 
teacher-employment  in  Savan- 
nah; Mr.  W.  B.  Nelson,  director 
of  the  division  of  trades  and  in- 
dustries at  the  College;  and  Mrs. 
Sophronia  Tompkins,  principal 
of  Woodville  High  School  in  Sa- 
vannah. Dr.  C.  L.  Kiah,  chair- 
man of  the  department  of  edu- 
cation, served  as  coordinator. 

In  the  seminars,  the  students 
were  told  of  the  possible  job 
opportunities  in  their  respective 
areas  and  the  methods  of  secur- 
ing these  positions.  Dr.  C.  L. 
Kiah  served  as  chairman  of  the 
education  seminar,  Mr.  Robert  C. 
Long,  chairman  of  the  business 
seminar,  and  Mr.  W.  B.  Nelson, 
chairman  of  the  trades  and  in- 
dustries seminar. 

After  a  coffee  break,  another 
general  session  was  held  at 
which  time  Mrs.  Donella  Sea- 
brook  and  Mr.  Leonard  Law 
served  as  leaders  of  a  discussion 


a  panel  discussion,  "Competencies 

on  "Interviewing  Principals  and 
Procedures";  Mr.  Robert  Long 
and  Dr.  Thomas  Saunders  led 
the  discussion  on  "Correct  Busi- 
ness Letters."  Mr.  J.  R.  Jenkins, 
executive  secretary  at  the  West 
Broad  Street  YMCA,  delivered  an 
address,  "The  Individual  and  the 
Job," 

On  Thursday,  January  13,  Dr. 
Margurite  Adams,  counselor  and 
professor  of  psycology  at  Shaw 
University,  spoke  on  a  "New  Look 
in  Job  Opportunities  for  Negroes 
in  America",  to  the  entire  stu- 
dent body  and  members  of  the 
faculty.  She  stressed  the  fact 
that  though  job  opportunities 
have  been  scarce  in  the  past 
years,  today,  there  is  a  new  look 
in  job  opportunities  regardless 
to  one's  race,  color,  or  creed. 

Dr.  Adams  concluded  her  mes- 
sage by  stating  that  college  stu- 
dents should  aim  at  top  level 
jobs  which  require  honesty,  sin- 
cerity, loyalty,  communicative 
ability  and  a  pleasant  personal- 
ity. "All  of  these  are  undis- 
putable  requirements  to  receive 
a  top  level  job." 


of  the  opinion  that  anyone  who 
took  this  viewpoint  has  a  very 
limited  range  of  vision.  Rather, 
he  would  think  that  this  is  a 
time  for  service  to  humanity. 
And  this  service  presupposes 
adequate  preparation.  The  cry- 
ing need  of  our  age  is  not  the 
need  of  good  doctors,  and  good 
lawyers,  but  we  need  good  men 
and  good  women  who  will  be- 
come good  doctors  and  good  law- 
yers. 

The  Savannah  State  College 
Choral  Society,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Dr.  Coleridge  Braithwaite, 
sang  the  very  beautiful  "God 
Be  in  My  Head",  by  Grant- 
Schaefer. 

At  the  All-College  Assemblies 
two  panels  were  presented.  Tues- 
day. January  18,  Dean  W.  J.  Hol- 
loway  co-ordinated  the  panel: 
"The  Advisor  and  Student  Or- 
ganizations. The  participants 
were  Mrs.  Ella  W.  Fisher,  Mrs. 
Louise  Owens,  Homer  Bryson 
and  Dr.  B.  T.  Griffith.  Thurs- 
day, January  20.  Mr.  Curtis 
Cooper,  President  of  the  Stu- 
dent Council,  was  co-ordinator 
for  the  panel:  "Responsibilities 
of  Leaders  at  Savannah  State 
College."  Mr.  Cooper  was  very 
ably  assisted  by  three  members 
of  the  Council  —  Miss  Nadine 
Cooper,  Mr.  William  Horton,  Miss 
Peola  Wright  and  Mr.  John 
Clemmons.  one  of  the  advisors. 

Better  Leadership 
For  a  Better 
World;  Theme  1/ 

One  of  the  main  highlights  of 
the  Leadership  Institute  was  the 
repeated  emphasis  on  Parlia- 
mentary Procedure.  The  Com- 
mittee felt  that  this  information 
is  always  needed  by  everyone 
and  too  much  emphasis  cannot 
be  placed  upon  it.  The  Fresh- 
man and  Sophomore  Orientation 
classes  had  "guest  professors" 
this  week.  These  professors  were 
invited  to  lecture  to  each  class 
for  one  class  period  during  the 
week.  The  lecturers  were  Mr. 
Bertrand,  Mr.  Black,  Mr.  Clay, 
Miss  Davis,  Mr.  E.  J.  Dean,  Mr. 
W.  E.  Griffin,  Mr.  Leftwich,  Dean 
Meyers,  Mr.  Peacock,  Dr.  E.  K. 
Williams  and  Mr.  Robert  Long, 
Sr. 

At  the  social  education  hour 
Monday  afternoon,  January  17, 
at  2:30  p.m.,  Dr.  R.  Grann  Lloyd 
was  guest  speaker  at  the  general 
seminar  on  parliamentary  pro- 
cedure. Dr.  Lloyd  used  the  very 
effective  approach  of  deailing 
with  the  many  misconceptions 
one  may  have  about  parliamen- 
tary procedure.  These  miscon- 
ceptions were  concerned  with  the 
custom  of  the  Chairman's  not 
voting,  the  usual  custom  of  ac- 
cepting of  the  treasurer's  re- 
port, and  the  reading  of  cor- 
respondence, committee  reports, 
the  withdrawing  of  a  motion,  the 
kinds  of  motions  which  do  not 
require  a  second.  Time  was  al- 
lowed for  a  question  period  and 
the  students  responded  quite 
eagerly.

Leadership 


Now,  let  us  not  fool  ourselves. 
There  is  no  magic  in  democracy 
that  does  away  with  the  need  of 
great  leadership.  Democracy 
must  both  create  and  control  its 
own  leadership.  And  it  cannot 
afford  to  neglect  either  half  of 
this  responsibility.  If  a  democra- 
cy thinks  only  of  the  creation 
of  leadership,  forgetting  its  con- 
trol, it  may  end  the  vassal  of  a 
dictator,  or  a  secret  oligarchy, 
but  if  a  democracy  thinks  only 
of  the  control  of  leadership,  for- 
getting its  creation,  it  will  end 
the  victim  of  mediocre  leaders 
who  are  more  interested  in  hold- 
ing a  job  than  in  doing  a  job. 
Democracy  is  still  young  and  we 
may  yet  go  on  the  rocks  if  we 
blunder  in  this  business  of  creat- 
ing and  controlling  our  leaders. 
When  humanity  smashed  the 
twin  traditions  of  the  divinity  of 
kings  and  the  docility  of  sub- 
jects, the  whole  problem  of  find- 
ing and  following  leaders  had 
to  be  worked  out  on  a  new  basis. 
So  far  we  have  not — if  we  are 
willing  to  be  honest  —  made  a 
brilliant  success  of  our  venture. 
We  spend  half  our  time  crying 
for  great  leadership,  and  the 
other  half  crucifying  great  lead- 


ers when  we  are  lucky  enough 
to  find  them.  The  danger  of  our 
democracy,  as  I  see  it,  lies  in 
bur  tendency  to  select  leaders 
who  are  similar  to  the  rank  and 
file  of  us,  whereas  the  hope  of 
democracy  seems  to  me  to  lie  in 
our  selecting  leaders  who  are  su- 
perior to  the  rank  and  file  of 
us.  This  cuts  to  the  heart  of  the 
whole  problem  of  leadership  in 
a  democracy.  Just  what  should 
we  look  for  in  our  leaders? 
Should  we  hunt  for  leaders  who 
will  follow  us?  .  .  .  Should  we 
look  for  leaders  who  will  always 
think  like  us  or  for  leaders 
who  might  be  able  to  think  for 
us  in  a  pinch  and  respecting 
problems  of  which  we  did  not 
have   basic   information? 

. . .  We  dare  not  ignore  the  fact 
that  no  form  of  government  can 
endure  that  trusts  only  its  medi- 
ocre men  in  positions  of  leader- 
ship. The  most  difficult  lesson 
American  democracy  has  to  learn 
is  this — to  learn  to  tolerate  lead- 
ers who  are  great  enough  to  dif- 
fer from  their  constituencies 
when  necessary. — From  an  ad- 
dress by  the  late  Dr.  Glenn 
Frank,  President  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Wisconsin. 


How  Large  is  Our  World 

By  Rev.  Wesley  Griffin—  "57" 


No  one  needs  to  be  tied  down 
to  a  little  world  any  more.  We 
can  get  in  our  car  and  go  some- 
where, get  on  the  train  and  go 
somewhere,  get  on  a  plane  and 
go  somewhere.  When  I  was  in 
the  service  I  spent  one  Friday 
and  Saturday  with  my  wife  in 
Savannah,  attended  a  meeting 
in  Waycross  Sunday  morning 
and  spent  the  rest  of  the  evening 
with  my  mother.  I  was  back  in 
Louisiana  Monday  morning, 
ready  for  work.  One  does  not 
have  to  live  in  a  small  world; 
with  a  little  planning,  we  can 
literally  fly  around  the  world. 
How  large  is  our  world? 

One  can  always  escape  a  little 
world  through  the  world  of  mem- 
ory and  the  world  of  imagina- 
tion. All  at  once  I  am  sitting  on 
a  high  hill,  an  old  hill  known  as 
Gadra  —  where  the  Gardarene 
demoniac  lived — having  a  picnic 
lunch  on  a  great,  flat  rock  and 
looking  out  over  the  Sea  of  Gali- 
lee in  the  distance,  the  port  of 
Tiberius,  the  ancient  site  of 
Capernaum,  the  place  which 
Jesus  made  memorable  by  his 
visits.  I  can  just  as  easily  in 
a  moment  take  a  plane  and  float 
silently,  almost  effortlessly,  fif- 
teen  or    twenty    thousand    feet 


above  a  cloud-flecked  sea  and 
watch  the  sun  come  and  touch 
those  clouds  with  glory.  Another 
moment  I  can  be  sailing  over 
London  in  a  plane  and  I  can  pick 
out,  although  I  have  never  been 
there  before,  Westminster,  St. 
Paul,  and  the  London  Bridge 
that  came  falling  down  one  time. 
I  can  see  it  all  in  a  moment  of 
time.    How  large  is  our  world? 

If  you  cannot  go  around  the 
world  yourself,  if  you  cannot 
take  a  plane  and  go  places,  spend 
a  dollar  or  two  and  go  with  Bur- 
ton Holmes.  He  will  take  you 
anywhere  in  the  world.  You  do 
not  need  to  live  in  a  little  world; 
you  can  use  some  of  your  leisure 
time  with  books  of  travel  and  go 
to  the  far  places  of  the  earth. 
You  can  enlarge  your  world  al- 
most at  will,  if  you  just  take  the 
lime.  Go  as  far  as  the  library 
and  you  can  expand  your  world 
almost  infinitely.  How  large  is 
your  world? 

No,  you  do  not  have  to  live  in 
a  little  world.  You  can  use  some 
of  your  leisure  time,  and  then

INTERNATIONAL  NEWS 

The  much  talked  about  issue 
concerning  the  French  approval 
/of  rearming  West  Germany  has 
finally  been  settled.  The  credit 
for  the  success  of  this  very  much 
pushed  foreign  policy  of  the 
Western  powers  is  due  largely  to 
the  relentless  efforts  and  shrewd 
diplomatic  ability  of  the  French 
Premier.  Mendes-France. 

It  is  the  opinion  of  this  writer 
that  Premier  Mendes-France 
should  be  commended  by  the 
leaders  of  the  western  world.  He 
was  not  only  successful  in  se- 
curing the  ratification  but  has 
kept  the  present  French  govern- 
ment from  dissolving.  There  are 
those,  however,  who  say  that  the 
French  had  no  choice  except  to 
ratify  the  Paris  agreements,  be- 
cause of  the  pressure  exerted 
upon  them  by  the  United  States 
and  the  British.  This  factor  must 
have  had  its  effect,  but  it  is  the 
belief  of  this  columnist  that,  if 
France  had  not  wanted  to  re- 
arm Western  Germany,  the  Paris 
agreements  would  have  received 
the  same  treatment  as  did  the 
European  Defense  Community 
Plan  of  Secretary  of  State.  John 
Foster  Dulles. 

The  French  have  had  their  say 
and  now  it  is  up  to  Germany 
and  Italy.  With  the  much  liked 
Chancellor  Conrad  Adneaur,  the 
Germans  are  expected  to  ratify 
the  Paris  agreement  without  too 
much  difficulty;  however,  this 
will  not  be  true  with  Italy.  The 
supporters  of  this  policy  in  Italy 
do  not  seem  to  be  so  strong  as 
those  in  Germany.  . 

The  Paris  agreement  and  the 
French  ratification  of  it  have  led 
to  outright  accusations  by  the 
Soviet  Union  that  the  Western 
World  Is  seeking  domination. 
The  Kremlin  has  gone  beyond 
accusations  and  has  begun  to 
issue  warnings  and  threats  to 
the  countries  who  favor  the 
North  Atlantic  Treaty  Organiza- 
tion. It  is  my  belief  that  these 
warnings  and  threats  are  a  mat- 
ter of  propaganda. 

NATIONAL  NEWS 

The  84th  Congress  has  been 
organized,  but  the  familiar  faces 
and  much  heard  of  names  for 
the  past  two  years  will  not  ap- 
pear so  frequently,  because  of 
the  past  congressional  election 
in  which  the  Democrats  returned 
to  rule  once  again. 

The  Democrats,  under  the 
leadership  of  Senator  Lyndon 
Johnson  in  the  Senate  and 
Speaker  Sam  Rayburn  in  the 
House,  have  pledged  to  cooperate 
with  the  administration  as  much 
as  possible.  I  am  of  the  opinion 
that  the  President  and  new  con- 
gress will  agree  on  foreign  af- 
fairs, but  they  are  likely  to  clash 
on  domestic  affairs. 

President  Eisenhower,  instead 
of  delivering  the  customary  State 
of  the  Union  Message,  felt  that 
he  could  create  a  closer  tie  be- 
tween the  executive  branch  of 
the  government  and  the  legisla- 
tive branch  by  preparing  several 
messages  instead  of  compiling  all 
of  them  in  a  single  speech.  The 
affairs  of  the  nation  have  be- 
come so  vast  that  sufficient  at- 
tention can  not  be  given  to  a 
particular  policy  in  a  single 
speech. 

The  President's  first  message 
concerned  the  appeal  for  a 
three-year  extension  of  the  re- 
ciprocal trade  law  with  authority 
to  cut  tariffs  up  to  15  per  cent 
during  this  period. 


As  we  face  the  New  Year,  often 
one  observes  with  interest  the 
manner  in  which  man  has 
marked  off  periods  of  time.  This 
is  especially  noticeable  when  one 
realizes  that  time  is  continuous 
from  age  to  age.  These  units  of 
time  marked  off  by  man  have 
become  centers  about  which  cus- 
toms have  been  developed.  The 
beginning  of  a  new  year  repre- 
sents one  of  the  clusters  of  civi- 
lized activity.  At  this  time  of  the 
year  individuals  and  businesses 
take  inventory  and  forecast  their 
outlook  for  the  incoming  year. 
It  is  a  form  of  activity  in  which 
students  engage  as  well  as  those 
occupied  with  other  forms  of  ac- 
tivity. 

The  life  which  the  modern 
student  leads  is  filled  with  ac- 
tivity. In  fact  many  have  diffi- 
culty in  providing  for  the  num- 
ber and  variety  of  things  which 
must  be  carried  on  in  their  oc- 
cupation. Yet,  every  individual 
seeking  an  education  must  make 
a  place  for  many  things  if  the 
individual  is  to  be  well  educated. 
The  students  who  take  inventory 
and  discover  that  all  of  their 
time  is  utilized  in  reading  books, 
writing  papers,  preparing  for  ex- 
aminations will  come  to  gradua- 
tion with  only  a  meager  prepa- 
ration for  living.  Well-rounded 
education  requires  that  learning 
take  place  in  many  different 
areas.  Every  educated  person 
displays  competence  in  terms  of 
the  society  in  which  he  lives. 
Time  must  be  provided,  there- 
fore, for  gaining  knowledge  and 
information  about  the  current 
political,  social,  economic,  and 
religious  development  .Much  of 
this  may  be  achieved  through 
the  reading  of  newspapers,  mag- 
azines, current  books,  through 
conversation  and  discussion, 
through  radio  and  television  and 
the  theater.  The  definite  amount 
of  time  to  be  given  to  each  of 
these  must  be  properly  balanced 
in  terms  of  the  other  activities 
which  constitute  the  student's 
life.  Recreation  and  physical 
activity  which  are  as  necessary 
as  eating  and  sleeping  must  be 
provided  systematically.  Each  of 
these  activities  requires  time  and 
a  place  on  the  schedule  of  the 
student.  It  may  be  said  that  the 
student  who  receives  the  greatest 
growth  during  his  college  years 
is  the  one  who  places  these  ac- 
tivities in  the  best  relationship 
for  his  individual  personality. 

The  goals  which  students  set 
for  themselves  often  seem  dis- 
tant and  far  removed.  Yet  if  one 
considers  that  time  will  take  him 
to  some  destination  which  may 
or  may  not  be  the  place  he  pre- 
fers, he  could  be  less  dependent 
upon  chance.  The  taking  of  in- 
ventory at  the  beginning  of  the 
year  enables  the  student  to 
evaluate  the  year  which  is  past 
and  to  plan  the  year  which  is 
beginning.  At  this  time  it  is 
possible  to  readj  ust  schedules 
for  the  individual's  living  and  to 
set  up  objectives  for  both  the 
present  and  th  e  future,  ^fu- 
dents,  in  some  instances,  select 
lesser  goals  because  they  want 
to  enjoy  what  appears  to  be  the 
most  important  things  for  the 
moment.  It  is  often  possible  for 
a  student  to  secure  a  job  which 
pays  him  a  salary  equivalent  to 
that  of  present-day  graduates. 
To  interrupt  one's  training  for 
such  an  opportunity  means  that 
the  individual  will  soon  become 
bored  becaused  he  is  forced  to 
live  on  the  same  plane  for  such 
a  long  time.  Monetary  rewards 
or  relief  from  the  discipline  of 
study  and  learning  do  not  con- 
stitute sound  bases  for  abridging 
one's  education.  There  is  suffi- 
cient evidence  to  support  the 
statement  that  opportunities  in 
almost  every  area  will  continue 
to  be  better  and  that  those  who 


continue  their  education  and 
training  will  not  likely  drop  be- 
hind because  of  the  time  spent 
in  formal  education.  The  great- 
ly increased  length  of  life  and 
period  of  activity  characteristic 
of  this  age  provide  sufficient 
time  for  a  richer  and  fuller  life. 

In  almost  every  instance  stu- 
dents can  greatly  improve  their 
efficiency  in  the  process  of  edu- 
cating themselves.  Those  who 
spend  all  of  their  time  studying 
can  be  just  as  successful  in  their 
grades  by  providing  for  a  dozen 
or  more  types  of  activities  that 
normally  go  with  a  full  college 
education.  |Students  who  spend 
a  large  proportion  of  their  time 
hunting  for  some  activity  to  take 
up  the  time  on  their  hands  can 
increase  their  education  by  sys- 
aematically  planning  to  utilize 
their  time  with  what  they  would 
consider  worthwhile  activities. 
This  group  of  students  found  in 
most  of  the  American  colleges 
often  does  not  wake  up  until 
after  graduation.  Their  entry 
into  the  various  occupations  and 
professions  reveals  what  hap- 
pened when  they  were  in  col- 
lege. This  is  the  group  which 
often  wishes  to  turn  the  hand."> 
of  the  clock  back  for  another 
trial  at  college.  Then,  there  is 
a  third  group  which  finds  itself 
too  busy  with  the  activities  to 
browse  in  the  library,  amonj 
their  fellow  students,  and  in  the 
community.  This  group  in  an- 
other way  is  limiting  its  edu- 
cation. Important  as  all  of  the 
activities  are.  one  must  make 
provision  for  a  well-balanced 
program  of  living.  Whatever  on  ■■ 
wishes  to  include  in  his  schedule 
can  be  provided  for  if  he  re- 
arranges the  affairs  in  terms  of 
their  relative  values  for  his  ac- 
cepted goals. 

i  All  that  has  been  stated  above 
aiDout  dividing  one's  time,  con- 
tinuing one's  education,  and 
planning  for  thf  present  and  the 
future  will  be  greatly  influenced 
by  the  individual's  wishes.  The 
psychologists  sometimes  call  i  t 
the  level  of  aspiration.  Thos^ 
who  have  low  levels  will  need 
little  change  in  their  methods  of 
living  and  learning.  On  the  other 
hand,  those  who  have  a  rising 
level  of  aspiration  will  be  ex- 
pected to  find  college  life  inter- 
esting, challenging  and  at  times 
fraught  with  difficulties.

THE  NEGRO'S  CONTRIBUTION 
TO  AMERICAS  LITERATURE 

The  theme  for  Negro  History 
Week  is  "Negro  History:  A  Con- 
tribution to  America's  Intercul- 
tural  Life".  It  goes  without  say- 
ing that  this  contribution  to  the 
literature  of  this  country  should 
not  be  neglected.  In  the  intro- 
duction to  The  Negro  Caravan, 
the  editors  state  that  they  do  not 
believe  that  the  expression 
"Negro  literature"  is  an  accurate 
one  in  spite  of  its  convenient 
brevity.  "  'Negro  literature'  has 
no  application  if  it  means  struc- 
tural peculiarity,  or  a  Negro 
school  of  writing.  The  Negro 
writes  in  the  forms  evolved  in 
English  and  American  litera- 
ture." The  terms  "a  Negro  Nov- 
el" or  "a  Negro  play"  are  am- 
biguous. "If  they  mean  a  novel 
or  a  play  by  Negroes,  then  such 
works  as  Porgy  andGreen  Pas- 
tures are  left  out.  If  they  mean 
works  about  Negro  life,  they  in- 
clude more  works  by  white  au- 
thors than  by  Negro,  and  these 
works  have  been  most  influential 
upon  the  American  mind." 

During  1954  a  deepening  inter- 
est in  world  affairs  and  racial 
problems  on  a  global  scale  was 
reflected  in  the  works  of  Negro

Personally  Yours 


By  Eveyln  Smalls,  '55 
Just  because  the  weather  is 
cool  is  no  reason  for  us  to  be- 
come careless  with  our  personal 
daintiness.  Baths  are  just  as 
important  in  winter  as  they  are 
in  summer.  But  baths  are  not 
enough.  They  wash  away  past 
perspiration,  but  there  is  always 
more  perspiration  accumulating. 
After  a  bath  or  shower,  a  de- 
odorant is  a  rule  no  girl  can 
afford  to  break.  A  deodorant- 
antiperspirant  checks  moisture 
and  gives  your  pretty  new  clothes 
a  longer  lease  on  life.  In  any 
event,  clothes  need  the  added 
protection  of  underarm  shields 
and  frequent  cleansing  to  keep 
them  as  fresh  as  the  day  you 
first  lifted  them  out  of  the  tissue 
paper. 

Deodorants  and  deodorant 
soaps  are  available  everywhere. 
And,  they  are  within  the  reach 
of  everyone's  pocket.  Deodorants 
aren't  made  just  for  women. 
There  are  lots  of  products  made 
especially  for  MEN.  And  they 
aren't  sissy  either.  Mennen, 
Avon,  Kings  Men.  and  other 
companies  have  wonderful  de- 
odorants and  after-shave  prod- 
ucts for  men. 

Don't  neglect  your  mouth. 
Brush  teeth  regularly  with  a 
good  toothbrush.  Toothbrushes 
are  easier  to  replace  than  teeth. 
Brush  up  and  down,  not  across. 
Now  that  the  slim  skirts  are 
the  trend  girls,  you  have  to  be 
careful  of  that  figure.  Nothing, 
but  nothing,  looks  worse  than  a 
girl  in  a  slim  skirt  that  bulges 
out  from  the  front  and  rear! 
Every  girl  needs  a  good  founda- 
tion garment.  There's  one  to 
fit  every  type  of  figure.  Why  not 
consult  the  expert  in  the  foun- 
dation department  of  your  fav- 
orite store  before  you  buy?  She 
can  help  you  a  lot.  You'll  feel 
better  and  look  neater  too. 

Let's  not  forget  our  complex- 
ion and  hair.  It  is  a  wise  girl 
who  realizes  that  complexion  in- 
cludes face  and  scalp.  Soap  d*.d 
water  and  a  complexion  brush 
can  bring  a  glow  to  that  dull 
complexion.  Then  there  are  the 
liquid-lather  cleansers  that  are 
very  good  for  blackheads.  The 
hair  brush  keeps  hair  and  scalp 
clean  and  shining.  Frequent 
shampoos  are  not  to  be  forgotten. 
Hands,  feet,  elbows,  and  back 
need  extra  care.  Start  with  the 
aforementioned  daily  scrubadub. 
Choose  face  powder  and  lipsticks 
that  harmonize  with  you  and 
your  outfit.  Take  a  little  extra 
time  to  apply  make-up  for  a 
flattering  look.  Watch  those  lip 
lines  with  the  lipstick.  Follow 
Ihe  natural  lines  of  your  mouth. 
Cologne  and  perfume  make  a 
girl  who  is  sweet  and  fresh  as 
a  blossom  smell  that  way.  Sev- 
eral new  fragrances  are  out  for 
fall.  Try  them  on  yourself  and 
choose  the  ones  that  you  like 
best. 


We  welcome  you  back  to  the 
campus.  We  are  sure  that  each 
of  your  hearts  is  filled  with  hope 
of  continued  health  and  happi- 
ness throughout  the  year. 

Fellow  students,  we  ask  that 
you  put  those  resolutions  into 
action  by  helping  to  make  our 
remaining  school  term  a  suc- 
cessful one.

BETTER    LEADERSHIP 
(Continued    from    Page   1) 

One  suggestion  which  the 
committee  received  after  some  of 
these  sessions  was  that  the  les- 
sons or  lectures  should  be  made 
more  advanced  for  the  upper 
classes. 

The  Committee  prepared  a 
booklist  for  use  in  problems  con- 
cerning organizations,  the  re- 
sponsibilities of  officers,  etc. 
This  list  included  several  books 
in  addition  to  the  standard  work, 
Robert's  Rules  of  Order.  Titles 
which  were  very  highly  recom- 
mended were: 

Cruzman:  Parliamentary  Pro- 
cedure 

Hagarty:  How  to  Run  a 
Meeting 

Lindgren:  Effective  Leadership 
in  Human  Relations 

Strauss:  New  Ways  to  Better 
Meetings 

Sturgis:  Learning  Parliamen- 
tary Procedure 

Sturgis:  Standard  Code  of  Par- 
liamentary Procedure.

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


January.   1955 


Sports  As  I  See  It 


By  James  O'Neal 


After  the  Savannah  State  Ti- 
gers dropped  their  first  two  bas- 
ketball games  of  the  season, 
Coach  Ted  Wright  shifted  his 
line-up  for  the  next  three  Im- 
portant games  before  the  holi- 
days. Their  opponents  were  the 
mighty  North  Carolina  Eagles, 
who  were  runners-up  in  the  na- 
tional tournament;  Clark  College 
of  Atlanta,  who  are  S.I.A.C. 
tournament  champions;  and 
Benedict  College  of  Columbia, 
S.  C. 

In  the  first  of  these  three 
games,  the  Tigers  went  to  North 
Carolina  and  upset  the  favorite 
Eagles  74-70;  came  back  to  Sa- 
vannah where  they  dropped 
Benedict  65-57;  then  rolled  over 
Clark  with  15  points  for  an  81- 
60  victory, 

Coach  Wright  has  probably 
one  of  the  best  "little  men"  in 
basketball,  who  is  Robert  Lewis 
known  around  Savannah  as  "Mr. 
Basketball."  Lewis  Is  a  sopho- 
more who  stands  5'5"  and  can 
do  practically  anything  with  a 
basketball  except  eat  it,  He  is 
not  the  player  who  puts  on  a 
one-man  show,  but  a  player  who 
often  makes  his  big  opponents 
look  bad.  His  most  effective 
weapon  Is  his  drive-in  delay- 
fake  which  means  two  points  for 
the  Tigers. 

Other  star  players  of  the  team 
Include  such  players  as  Noel 
Wright,  Ceclllo  Williams,  Rich- 
ard Washington,  and  Otis  Brock. 

Wright  Is  the  kind  of  player 
who  can  play  40  minutes  of 
head-up  basketball,  and  he  is 
at  his  best  under  pressure.  He  Is 
known  especially  for  his  long 
set-shot  and  his  ability  to  steal 
balls  from   his  opponents. 

Ceclllo  Williams,  who  stands 
0'7",  Is  a  senior  and  an  honor 
student.  He  comes  from  Panama 
unci  has  been  the  top  scorer  for 
the  Tigers  for  the  past  three 
years.  He  Is  dangerous  both  In 
and  away  from  the  goal. 

Washington  is  a  Junior  from 
New  Orleans,  a  hard  worker,  and 
a  threat  with  his  jump-shot. 

Otis  Brock  Is  probably  one  of 
the  most  dependable  players  on 
the  squad.  He  is  a  backboard 
specialist  on  rebounds  and  shoots 
from  15  to  25  points  per  game 
with  his  one-hand  jump  and  his 
over-head  hook. 

With  this  team  plus  some 
strung  reserves,  the  Tigers  will 
be  working  hard  to  return  to 
the  National  Tournament  again 
this  year.  —  Will  they???? 
Benedict  Loses  to  Tigers  65-57 

Savannah  State  won  their  first 
home  game  of  the  season  when 
they  defeated  Benedict  College 
of  Columbia,  S.  C,  65-57  at  Sa- 
vannah State  College  on  Decem- 
ber 14. 

Cecilio  Williams  was  the  "big 
gun"  for  Savannah  when  he  hit 
the  net  for  23  points,  which  gave 
the  Tigers  a  lead  of  34-27  at  half 
time.  Other  top  scorers  for  the 
Tigers  were  Brock  with  17  points, 
Wright  and  Washington  with  11 
points  each. 

Smith  led  Benedict's  attack 
with  15  points  followed  by  White 
with  12  and  Freeman  with  11 
points. 

Tigers  Down  Clark  81-66 

The  Savannth  State  Tigers 
made  it  three  in  a  row  as  they 
rolled  over  Clark  College  of  At- 
lanta 81-66  in  Savannah  State 
gymnasium. 

The  Tigers  wasted  no  time  in 
showing  their  superiority  as  they 
built  up  an  18-4  lead  in  the  first 
six  minutes  of  the  game.  Cecilio 
Williams  of  Savannah  made  the 
first  10  points  for  the  Tigers.  The 
half  ended  with  Savannah  State 
in  front  with  a  commanding  lead 
of  42-24. 

The    scoring    honors    of    the 


game  went  to  Reginald  Threat 
of  Clark  and  Cecilio  Williams  of 
Savannah  with  27  points  each. 
Other  players  who  hit  In  the 
double  figures  were  Richard 
Washington,  Noel  Wright,  and 
Otis  Brock  of  Savannah  with  15. 
16  and  18  points  respectively. 
James  Cohen  was  second  highest 
for  Clark  with  15  points.  Other 
outstanding  players  of  the  game 
were  Warren  Rouse  and  Julius 
Burns  of  Clark.  The  Tigers  were 
led  By  Robert  Lewis  and  Clevon 
Johnson. 

In  the  preliminary  game, 
Woodvllle  High  defeated  Boys" 
Club  of  Savannah  45-33.  The 
high  scorers  of  the  game  were 
Roland  James  of  Woodvllle  and 
David  Johnson  of  Boys'  Club 
with  17  and  14  points  respective- 
ly. 

Tigers  Drop  Claflin  70-51 

The  Savannah  State  Tigers 
rolled  over  Claflin  University 
70-51  for  their  fourth  straight 
victory  at  Savannah  State  Col- 
lege. 

This  was  the  first  conference 
game  for  the  Tigers.  Coach 
Wright  used  15  players  In  win- 
nine,    the   one-sided  contest. 

The  first  five  played  their  best 
offensive  game  of  the  season 
as    they   built    up    a    22-8   point 


lead  in  the  first  four  minutes  of 
the  game.  At  half  time,  the  Ti- 
gers led  42-27. 

Noel  Wright  and  Robert  Lewis 
each  had  14  points  to  lead  the 
Tigers'  attack.  Cecilio  Williams 
and  Otis  Brock  each  had  10 
points  for  the  Tigers. 
Oscar  Mitchell,  with  14  points, 
led  the  Claflin  attack  and  was 
followed  by  Earl  Jones  with  13 
points. 

Savannah  State's  "B"  team 
lost  to  the  Boys'  Club.  53-39,  in 
the  preliminary  game.

You  do  not  need  to  live  in  a  little

this  opportunity  possible.  Many

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


Negro  History 
Week  Feb.  13 

By  George  Johnson^ 

The  department  of  social 
sciences  led  the  observance  of 
Negro  History  Weex  on  the  cam- 
pus of  Savannah  Stale  Coliege. 
The  observance  started  Sunday, 
February  13,  with  services  in 
Vesper.  Mr.  E.  J.  Josey  was  the 
main  speaker.  Other  features 
of  the  week  were  a  panel  discus- 
sion in  special  assembly,  featur- 
ing members  of  this  department 
who  gave  reports  on  Negro 
Progress;  a  panel  discussion  in 
faculty  meeting,  "Negro  His- 
tory: A  Contribution  to  Ameri- 
can Intercultural  Life."  This 
event  on  February  19  ended  the 
celebration. 

Mr.  E.  J.  Josey.  instructor  of 
Social  Science,  spoke  from  the 
subject,  "The  Challenge  of  the 
Hour."  "The  Negro  has  built 
and  has  no  where  to  lay  his 
head;  he  has  sown  and  often 
another  has  reaped  the  fruits  of 
his  toil;  he  has  run  and  not 
been  weary;  he  has  walked  and 
not  fainted  on  the  way,"  was 
the  statement  which  prefaced 
Josey's  speech. 

He  reminded  the  audience  of 
the  "Negro's  patience,  adapta- 
bility, loyalty  and  smiling  hu- 
mility which  have  given  him 
Survival  of  the  fittest  against 
great  odds."  The  speaker  outlined 
the  great  struggle  which  has 
been  the  Negro's  in  his  attempt 
to  gain  his  civil  rights  and  lib- 
erties in  America. 

Students  participating  on  the 
discussion  in  Assembly  were  the 
following  Social  Science  majors: 
Misses  Jewell  Cutter  and  Muriel 
Hatton,  Robert  Jackson  and 
Dennis  Williams.  These  students 
gave  a  background  of  Negro 
progress  in  literature,  music  and 
politics. 

Mr.  W.  J.  Holloway  served  as 
coordinator  of  a  panel  discus- 
sion in  faculty  meeting.  The 
theme  of  this  panel  was,  "Negro 
History :  A  Contribution  to 
American  Intercultural  Life." 
Members  of  the  panel  spoke  on 
the  following  aspects  of  the 
theme:  Music.  Miss  Evelyn  V. 
Grant;  Economic  Life,  Miss  Al- 
bertha  Boston ;  Education,  Mr. 
M,  S.  Stokes;  Literature,  Mr.  J. 
Randolph  Fisher;  and  Social 
Science,  Mr.  W.  E.  Griffin;  Art, 
Mr.  Philip  Hampton.

Gerue  Ford 


Common  sense  is  believed  to  be 
one  of  the  most  widely  dis- 
tributed of  all  human  posses- 
sions. Almost  everyone  has  an 
intelligence  quotient  sufficient 
to  master  all  common  problems. 
We  can  make  adjustments  to 
new  situations  and  new  environ- 
ments with  the  greatest  of  ease. 

It  is  not  necessary  that  we  find 
ourselves  trying  in  vain  to  solve 
simple  everyday  problems.  It  is 
not  true  that  serious  mistakes 
cannot  be  prevented.  We  don't 
have  to  plan  and  discover  that 
none  of  them  can  be  carried  out. 

When  challenging  situations 
arise,  we  can  master  them  sur- 
prisingly well  by  simply  applying 
a  little  common  sense.  To  apply 
common   sense  is  to   think. 

When  we  think  we  never 
plunge  blindly  into  anything. 
Before  we  act,  we  first  gather,

Message  from  the  President 


On  Wednesday,  Thursday,  and  Friday,  March  9-11,  the  State- 
wide High  School  Language  Arts  Festival  will  be  held  at  Savannah 
State  College.  It  will  be  sponsored  by  Savannah  State  College  and 
the  Savannah  Morning  News  and  Evening  Press,  Directed  by  the 
Languages  Department  of  Languages  and  Literature. 


This  month  the  students  and  faculty  of  Savannah  State  College 
are  observing  Religious  Emphasis  Week.  As  usual  preparations  are 
made  for  an  extraordinary  occasion.  Unlike  many  occasions  the 
preparations  do  not  call  for  entirely  new  procedures.  The  ob- 
servance Is  built  upon  beliefs  and  customs  which  have  been  present 
In  the  individuals  for  many  years.  Religious  Emphasis  Week  pro- 
vides opportunities  for  thinking  again  of  the  values  of  religion  and 
the  rededication  of  ourselves  to  religion  that  influences  living.  It 
is  hoped  that  Religious  Emphasis  Week  and  what  there  is  left 
after  it  has  passed  will  provide  college  students  with  a  growing 
religion. 

To  develop  the  other  abilities  of  the  student  without  the  proper 
stimulation  in  the  area  of  religion  is  to  encourage  maladjustment 
The  effects  of  education  when  properly  balanced  with  religion  that 
is  enlightened  produces  effective  citizens.  All  of  the  problems  faced 
by  our  society  today  can  be  solved  more  effectively  when  religion 
and  learning  emanate  from  the  same  individual.  Whatever  worthy 
goal  one  may  set  for  himself  can  be  richer  and  more  desirable  if 
it  is  pursued  under  the  influence  of  firm  religious  conviction.  It 
will  bring  strength  and  understanding  at  all  times.  In  crisis  it  will 
lift  one  above  the  animal  level  to  grasp  values  which  are  more  en- 
during and  more  satisfying.

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


Organization  Highlights 


Kappa  Alpha  Psi 

The  brothers  of  Gamma  Chi 
Chapter  of  Kappa  Alpha  Psi  used 
their  own  initiative  in  taking 
part  in  the  recent  drive  against 
polio.  The  Brothers  took  advan- 
tage of  Thursday,  February  3,  to 
collect  $15.83  in  pennies,  nickels 
and  dimes  to  contribute  to  this 
cause.  No  opportunity  was  neg- 
lected in  the  untiring  effort 
Contributions  from  students, 
faculty  and  staff  members, 
sightseers,  and  visitors  were 
equally  solicited.  Almost  every- 
one seemed  proud  of  the  move 
and   contributed   generously. 

In  the  very  near  future  we 
shall  present  to  our  friends  and 
neighbors  our  Annual  Variety 
Show.  All  brothers  will  combine 
their  energies  toward  promoting 
this  affair. 

The  Woman  of  Knowledge — Delta 
"To  perpetuate  high  scholastic 
ability  and  promote  finer  wom- 
anhood." are  our  purposes.  Ever 
cognizant  of  these,  and  striving 
with  increased  fevor,  we  Deltas 
find  the  fulfilment  of  our  goals 
inevitable. 

We  are  very  proud  to  have 
three  Sorors  as  recent  initiates 
into  our  honor  societies-  Ac- 
cepted into  the  ranks  of  Beta 
Kappa  Chi  National  Honorary 
Scientific  Society  were  Sorors: 
Mercedes  Mitchell  and  Julia 
Hendrix.  and  into  Alpha  Kappa 
Mu  Honor  Society  was  Soror 
Gloria  Spaulding.  We  are  grate- 
ful for  having  so  many  Sorors 
and  Pyramids  on  the  honor  roll 
and  de  an's  list. 

We  welcome  Mrs.  Donella 
Graham  Seabrook  as  our  new 
advisor.  We  are  sure  that  co- 
operation with  her  will  make  our 
group  a  better  one.  Mrs.  Sea- 
brook  replaces  Mrs.  Juanita  Sell- 
ers Stone.  Mrs.  Stone's  resigna- 
tion became  effective  at  the 
completion  of  last  quarter  when 
she  became  the  Yuletide  bride  of 
Dr.  Vernon  W.  Stone. 

We  extend  best  wishes  to  Soror 
Robertia  Glover  upon  her  recent 
marriage  to  Mr.  E.  Orell  Webb. 

We  hope  both  Sorors  Stone  and 
Webb  will  "live  happily  ever 
after." 

Doing  student  teaching  this 
'luai'ter  are  Sorors  Brown,  Fort- 
son,  Hendrix  and  Saunders. 

It  was  interesting  to  note  that 
Leontyne  Price,  the  star  of  Puc- 
cini's opera  "Tosca,"  is  a  Soror. 
Soror  Price's  role  was  a  prece- 
dent setter.  It  marked  the  first 
time  a  Negro  artist  has  sung  the 
top  role  of  Puccini's  work  or  op- 
posite an  all  white  cast. 

Scholarship,  leadership,  char- 
acter are  qualities  of  all  Delta 
women ! 

We  bid  adieu   from  Delta  Nu. 

Sigma  Gamma  Rho  Sorority 
Scholarship:   Soror  Doris  Sin- 
gleton  has   honored  Alpha   Iota 
Chapter  of  Sigma  Gamma  Rho 

Sorority  by  earning  membership 
into  the  honorary  society.  Alpha 
Kappa  Mu.  She  is  a  native  of 
Savannah,  a  junior  majoring  in 
elementary  education,  and  she 
has  been  active  in  the  dramatic 
club.  Soror  Singleton  is  presi- 
dent of  the  recently  organized 
Spanish  Club. 

Practice  Teachers:  Sorors  Mary 
Hagins  and  Bernice  Murphy  are 
doing  student  teaching  at  West 
Savannah  and  DeRenne  Elemen- 
tary Schools  respectively.  Evelyn 
Culpepper  is  doing  her  practice 
work  in  Waycross,  Ga. 

Sympathy:  All  Sorors  extend 
deepest  sympathy  to  Soror  Mary 
Hagin  loiiowing  the  death  of  her 
grandmother. 

Fiesta:  We  are  looking  forward 

to  our  Spring  Fiesta  on  March 

26,   1955  in  Willcox  Gymnasium.

The  Apes  Speak 

Brothers  of  Delta  Eta 
lapter  of  Alpha  Phi  Alpha  Fra- 
ternity presented  their  Annual 
Education  for  Citizenship  Week 
Program  in  Chapel  on  February 
17.  Our  theme  for  this  program 
was  "Intelligent  Citizenship  In- 
spires Freedom,  Peace  and  Prog- 
ress. Brother  Dr.  Thomas 
Saunders,  chairman  of  the  de- 
partment of  Languages  and  Lit- 
erature, was  the  guest  speaker. 
Panel  discussions  in  keeping 
with  the  general  theme  were 
presented  at  Beach  and  Wood- 
ville   High   Schools. 

Education  for  Citizenship  is 
a  national  observance  of  Alpha 
Phi  Alpha  and  it  is  designed  to 
bring  out  pointers  of  good  citi- 
zenship—trying to  show  and 
teach  the  members  of  our  race 
the  significance  of  education 
and  citizenship  in  becoming  the 
type  of  person  that  can  success- 
fully take  their  places  in  our 
society. 

Y.  W.  C.  A. 

The  Young  Women's  Christian 
Association  of  Savannah  State 
College  had  as  its  guest  this 
month  the  National  Student  Sec- 
retary of  the  Southern  Region, 
Miss  Doris  V.  Wilson.  Miss  Wil- 
son met  with  the  young  women 
of  the  dormitory  at  an  informal 
"Coke  Party"  Tuesday  evening, 
February  1.  An  all-college 
women's  meeting  was  held  the 
following  day  at  noon.  We  were 
given  much  information  that 
was  both  vital  and  interesting. 
Since  we  are  now  affiliated  with 
the  national  body,  we  realize 
that  we  have  responsibilities  to 
both  our  campus  and  the  nation- 
al Y  W.  C.  A.  However,  these 
responsibilities  cannot  be  met 
without  an  active  membership. 
We  are  therefore  asking  that  as 
many  young  women  as  possible 
will  become  members  of  the  "Y." 

The  Y.  W.  C.  A.  celebrates  its 
100th  birthday  this  year.  Watch 
current  magazines  for  articles 
concerning  this  celebration.  The 


February  issue  of  the  Journal  of 
Health  and  Physical  Education, 
and  the  Woman's  Home  Com- 
panion have  very  interesting  ar- 
ticles about  this  world-wide  oc- 
casion.

This  We  Believe 

Homer   Bryson,  Jr. 

The  men  of  Omega,  after  a  hi- 
larious time  at  their  annual 
Mardi  Gras  Ball,  have  settled 
down  to  some  serious  thinking. 
Oddly  enough  this  was  brought 
about  by  their  little  brothers. 

It  Is  expected  that  each  pledge 
club  leave  something  with  the 
chapter.  This  year's  group  pro- 
poses to  leave  a  project  border- 
ing on  the  intangible  rather 
than  on  the  intangible,  in  the 
hope  that  what  good  men  do  will 
live  long  after  the  evil  Is  in- 
terred  with    their   bones. 

With  this  in  mind  the  men  of 
The  Shield,  along  with  their 
little  brothers,  have  pledged 
themselves  to  bettering  relations 
between  campus  and  off-campus 
students  and  between  the  stu- 
de  nts  in  general.  For  this,  we 
believe,  is  the  only  way  to 
strengthen  our  student  govern- 
ment and  give  us  a  student  body 
with  a  rejuvenated  school  spirit. 

Society  Slants 

By  Elizabeth  Jortlnn 

What  a  grand  time  we  had! 
The  Omegas  and  their  guests 
had  the  thrill  of  their  lives  as 
they  danced  to  the  music  of  "The 
Blazers"  in  Willcox  Gymnasium 
Saturday  night,  February  12, 
The  affair  was  climaxed  with 
much  gaiety  and  laughter.  What 
was  the  occasion  .  .  .?  The 
Omega's  Annual  Mardi  Gras  Ball. 

What  in  the  heck  is  the 
Mambo  .  .  .?  Well,  we  learned 
at  the  Scrollers  Mambo  Dance. 
The  Scrollers  of  Gamma  Chi 
Chapter  of  Kappa  Alpha  Psi  fra- 
ternity gave  a  Mambo  dance  in 
Willcox  Gymnasium  on  the 
weekend  of  the  eighth  (8feh). 
Everybody  was  doing  the  Mambo, 
Music  was  furnished  by  Joe  Bris- 
tow.    A  good  time  was  had  by  all. 

The  Vibratone  Ensemble  of 
Oakland  College  was  presented 
in  concert  in  Meldrim  Audito- 
rium on  January  27.  The  pro- 
gram was  certainly  an  inspira- 
tion to  music  lovers  and  was  en- 
joyed by  all  who  attended.  The 
group  is  especially  noted  for 
their  variety  of  musical  selec- 
tions.

For  the  last  five  weeks,  the  students  or  the  foreign  languages 
classes  have  been  seen  entering  the  broad  portals  of  the  Department 
of  Lauguages  and  Literature  in  groups  of  four  or  five— remaining 
there  for  fifteen  or  twenty  minutes  and  then  hastily  leaving  with 
transfigured  faces,  muttering  strange  sayings  such  as  "Habla  usted

there.  Follow  a  few  of  them  to

Interested  in  the  learning  of  the 
languages. 

What  created  this  revolution- 
ary attitude  on  the  part  of  the 
students  toward  the  learning  of 
a  foreign  language?  What  dy- 
namic and  wonderfully  mysteri- 
ous force  has  surreptitiously 
wrought  this  astounding  change? 
These  are  probably  some  of  the 
questions  which  are  pricking  the 
minds  of  the  casual  observers  of 
this  phenomenal  change.  The 
answer  is  really  simple.  One 
realized  that  the  voices  of  two 
overloaded  teachers  were  not 
enough  to  create,  on  the  parts 
of  the  students,  an  earnest  de- 
sire to  arivnnce  further  than  a 
fluent  command  of  "Habla  usted 
espanol?"  or  "Parlez-vous  fran- 
cals?" With  this  purpose  in 
mind,  a  Listening  Laboratory 
has  been  established  . 

The  purpose  of  the  laboratory 
Is  simple.  It  affords  the  student 
an  opportunity  to  listen  for  a 
prolonged  period  to  the  voices 
of  native  speakers  by  means  of 
earphone  attachments,  As  many 
as  eight  .students  may  listen  at- 
one time.  The  materials  used 
for  this  purpose  are  of  the  best 
variety  and  arc  arranged  so  that 
the  average  student  may  derive 
the  highest  degree  of  benefit 
from  them.

teaching  does  not,  however,  end

THE  TIGERS  ROAR 


Febn 


1935 


Sports  As  I  See  It 


James  O'Ne 


The  Savannah  State  Tigers 
pulled  their  biggest  upset  of  the 
season  when  they  defeated  the 
highly  favored  Knoxvllle  Col- 
lege 77-70  in  an  overtime  game 
at  Savannah. 

The  Tigers  probably  played 
their  best  defensive  game  of  the 
year  In  holding  the  sharp-shoot- 
ing Knoxvllle  "5"  to  67  points 
when  the  first  forty  minutes  of 
the  game  were  over.  Before 
coming  to  Savannah,  Knoxvllle 
had  averaged  100.5  points  per 
game  and  had  played  some  of 
the  top  Negro  teams  of  the  na- 
tion. With  this  record  Savan- 
nah was  expected  to  be  another 
easy  vletory  for  the  high  scoring 
boys  from  Knoxvllle. 

Coach  Wright  used  only  six 
players  In  this  game  and  each 
one  was  at  his  best.  All  the 
regular  stars  hit  Into  the  dou- 
ble figures  except  big  "011" 
Jackson,  who  did  a  magnificent 
job  with  rebounds  on  both  back- 
boards. Last  year  the  Tigers 
won  over  Knoxvllle— 78-00. 

The  Tigers  have  thus  far  a 
15-7  record  and  hold  double 
victories  over  Claffln  University, 
Albany  State,  Paine  College, 
Florida  Normal  and  Fort  Valley 
State.  They  have  single  wins 
over  North  Carolina  College  and 
Knoxvllle.  They  divided  meel 
lngs  with  Bcthumc-Cookman, 
Benedict,  and  Clark  College  and 
dropped      decisions      to      Morris, 

South  Carolina  state  and  Allen 
University.  The  Savannah  Tigers 
have  lost  only  one  conference 
game  and  have  two  more  games 
to  play  before  the  S  E,  A.  C. 
Tourney  In  Savannah  on  Feb- 
ruary 25-20. 

With  this  record,  the  Tigers 
will  be  a  strong  contender  for 
an  Invitation  to  the  National 
Tournament  for  their  second 
year   in  succession.

The  play  was  directed  by  Leo

phine M.  Callan. 

Meldrim  Auditorium  was  filled 
to  its  capacity  with  spectators 
who  came  to  witness  Shake- 
speare's great  "Julius  Caesar."

Religious 
Bookshelf 

So  many  students  have  the 
idea  that  a  religious  book  is  one 
that  they  would  prefer  not  read- 
ing because  it  is  too  difficult  for 
them  to  understand.  But  this 
type  of  reading  is  not  the  only 
one  available  in  the  field  of  re- 
ligion. Religious  reading  trends 
are  toward  books  that  deal  with 
moral  and  spiritual  problems  in 
Christian  living,  convey  an  in- 
spirational impulse  toward  per- 
sonal self-adjustment  or  em- 
phasize social  or  ethical  matters. 
It  is  interesting  to  note  the  cur- 
rent socializing  and  secularizing 
of  religious  activities  in  an  at- 
tempt to  strengthen  youth  in 
moral  faith  and  principles  of 
justice  and  equality. 

Books  of  general  interest: 
Dark  Glory,  by  Harry  V.  Rich- 
ardson, attempts  to  discover  the 
basic  difficulties  that  have  set 
present  patterns  of  rural  church 
life.  This  work  brings  out  the 
institutional  problems  of  the 
church,  the  social  and  economic 
conditions  and  the  Interracial 
atmosphere  in  which  the  church 
must  exist  and  by  which  it  must 
be  limited. 

Lights  Along  the  Shore,  by 
Fulton  Oursler.  is  a  compilation 
of  this  well  known  author's 
shorter  works.  These  short  ar- 
ticles are  both  factual  and  fic- 
tional. Among  them  are  included 
some  most  unusual  success 
stories. 


Song  Recital 
Given  Jan.  27 

Ida  Lee 

The  Student  Council  was  for- 
tunate to  secure  the  famous 
Vibratone  Ensemble  from  Oak- 
land College,  Huntsville,  Ala., 
for  a  recital  of  songs  in  January. 
The  program  consisted  of  some 
of  the  famous  Negro  spirituals: 
"Dry  Bones,"  "Steal  Away." 
classical  selections:  "Beautiful 
Dreamer,"  "To  Be  Alone,"  and 
folk  songs  "MacDonald's  Farm," 
"Jim."  These  songs  were  sung 
in  the  Ensemble's  own  arrange- 
ment. 

The  famous  Vibratone  Ensem- 
ble, which  was  on  a  two  week's 
tour,  had  appeared  that  week  on 
five  radio  programs  and  two 
television    networks.

WHAT'S  THIS? 

For  solution  see  paragraph  below 


OBVIOUSLY,  THE  TITLE  of  the  above  Droodle  is:  47 
insectology  students  enjoying  better-tasting  Luckies 
while  studying  3  fireflies.  All  kinds  of  students  are 
bugs  about  Luckies.  Matter  of  fact,  college  smokers 
prefer  Luckies  to  all  other  brands — and  by  a  wide 
margin— according  to  the  latest  and  greatest  of  all 
college  surveys.  Once  again,  the  No.  1  reason:  Luckies 
taste  better.  They  taste  better,  first  of  all,  because 
Lucky  Strike  means  fine  tobacco.  Then,  that  tobacco 
is  toasted  to  taste  better.  "It's  Toasted"  — the  famous 
Lucky  Strike  process— tones  up  Luckies'  light,  good- 
tasting  tobacco  to  make  it  taste  even  better  .  .  . 
cleaner,  fresher,  smoother.  So,  enjoy  the  better-tasting 
cigarette  .  .  .  Lucky  Strike.

Tigers  Roar 
New  Feature 

Nadene  Cooper 

The  Tiger's  Roar  staff  has  add- 
ed to  its  publication  a  new  fea- 
ture, "A  Student  of  the  Month". 
This  feature  was  not  only  added 
in  an  effort  to  stimulate  an  in- 
terest among  the  many  readers 
of  the  paper,  but  also  to  en- 
courage and  promote  the  kind 
of  qualities  within  students  that 
are  thought  to  be  of  prime  Im- 
portance in  the  development  of 
a  well-rounded  individual. 

In  selecting  the  student  of  the 
month,  the  following  qualities 
are  sought:  A  friendly  attitude 
toward  all,  prejudice  toward 
none;  high  moral  character;  ac- 
tive participation  in  various  or- 
ganizations; normal  intelligence; 
average  and  above  scholarship, 
and  a  wholesome  outlook  on  life. 
These  are  considered  as  the  most 
essential  traits  which  an  indi- 
vidual must  have  in  order  to 
represent  a  well  developed  per- 
son.

ida A.  and  M.  University),  in  No- 
vember. 1937,  and  originally 
named  the  Federation  of  Scho- 
lastic Honor  Societies,  Alpha

Blue  Book  for  American  Frater- 
nities and  Sororities.  In  Febru- 
ary, 1950,  the  Society  was  of- 
ficially admitted  as  a  general 
scholarship  organization  by  the 
National  Association  of  Honor 
Societies. 

The  purposes  of  Alpha  Kappa 
Mu  shall  be  to  promote  high 
scholarship,  to  encourage  sin- 
cere and  zealous  endeavors  in  all 
fields  of  knowledge  and  services; 
to  cultivate  a  high  order  of  per- 
sonal living  and  to  develop  an 
appreciation  for  scholarly  work 
and  endeavor  in  others.

Better  Citizenship  on  Our  Campus 

The  role  of  citizenship  on  our 
campus  Is  very  essential  because 
it  is  something  that  will  affect 
all  of  us  pro  or  con.  It  Is  some- 
thing that  will  make  our  insti- 
tution stand  out  by  Indicating 
to  the  world  that  this  Is  a  col- 
lege with  people  who  know  their 
rights  as  citizens. 

Our  Ideas  toward  anything 
should  be  expressed  in  the  prop- 
er manner  so  that  it  can  re- 
flect its  true  value.  We  as  cit- 
izens on  our  campus  should  use 
the  different  media  for  expres- 
sion, such  as  the  student  news- 
paper, the  student  council,  vari- 
ous programs  and  social  gather- 
ings. The  process  of  careful  and 
thorough  evaluation  of  a  per- 
sonal opinion  should  be  consid- 
ered the  force  and  the  actual 
opinion  that  is  presented.  Let 
us  pledge  to  put  into  effect  bet- 
ter citizenship  on  our  campus. 


THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


March.  195 


The    Periscope 


Better  Citizenship  on  Our  Col- 
lege Campus, 

During  the  period  of  time  that 
we  are  exposed  to  the  vast 
amounts  of  wholesome  facilities 
on  our  college  campus,  we  should 
stop  and  realize  the  fact  that 
each  Individual  Is  a  part  of  a 
whole.  Each  Individual  student 
Is  expected  to  develop  himself 
to  his  fullest  capacities  by  ac- 
cepting the  Importance  of  the 
task  of  citizenship. 

In  order  to  Improve  In  this 
area,  we  as  students  must  drop 
our  buckets  down  Into  the  freely 
running  streams  and  draw  from 
them  the  Ideas  which  will  con- 
stitute Improvement  In  citizen- 
Ship,  For  Improvement  we  must 
consider  the  things  with  which 
we  arc  equipped.  We  are  equipped 
with  a  mind  for  better  citizen- 
ship; this  mind  must  be  trained 
to  think  of  your  rights  as  an  In- 
dividual an  dthc  rights  of  others 
as  well.

of  animals.  One  of  the  basic 
differences  In  man  Is  the  varia- 
tion of  degrees  of  ambition.  The 
facts  arc  not  clear  as  to  what  Is 
the  source  of  the  fantastic  drive 
known  commonly  as  ambition. 

Ambition  is  evident  In  the  in- 
dividual as  early  as  childhood. 
The  Individual  then  aspires  to  be 
a  baseball  player,  a  teacher,  an 
acrobat,  or  "Just  like  daddy." 

By  the  time  he  reaches  the 
adolescent  stage  the  Individual  is 
curved  toward  a  definite  ambi- 
tion. A  desire  to  excell  In  a  defi- 
nite field  Is  his  main  purpose. 
He  competes  against  others  to 
satisfy  his  ambitious  eagerness. 

The  word  competition  means 
nothing  to  the  average  man.  To 
the  ambitious  it  means  a  chal- 
lenge, a  method  of  classification, 
a  mode  of  improvement. 

Selfishness  is  one  basis  of  am- 
bition. All  individuals  possess  a 
certain  degree  of  egotism.  This 
quality  is  acceptable  as  long  as 
It  Is  employed  for  the  advance- 
ment of  the  individual  without 
endangering  the  happiness  of 
others. 

Few  scientists,  artists,  poets 
and  athletes  are  born  geniuses 
in  their  fields.  Those  so  called 
"gifted  individuals"  are  not  only 
of  high  Intellect  but  study  and 
try  to  accomplish  much  more 
than  natural  ability  could  pro- 
vide for  them. 


On  the  other  hand,  there  are 
many  who  are  not  the  genius 
type  but,  with  a  mixture  of  self 
confidence,  sacrifices,  and  will- 
ingness to  work  excel  in  achiev- 
ing their  goals. 

A  current  example  of  this  is 
the  achievement  of  James  Dens- 
ler  a  former  student  of  Savan- 
nah State  College.  Jimmy,  as  his 
friends  call  him,  was  in  my  es- 
timation, a  very  good  student. 
Far  from  being  a  genius  the 
does  not  profess  to  be),  he  was 
one  of  the  most  studious  pupils 
I  have  known.  Densler  was  nev- 
er satisfied  until  he  had  worked 
all  the  problems  assigned  to  him 
and  the  ones  that  were  not.  He 
stayed  ahead  of  the  teacher  in 
her  assignments  because  of  his 
interest  in  his  lessons. 

After  the  accomplishment  of 
his  goal,  the  individual  estab- 
lished a  quota  within  himself  in 
which  his  production  lives  with 
his  ability.  If  the  production 
does  not  qualify  to  his  self-in- 
spection, the  ambitious  individ- 
ual tries  to  obtain  and  evaluate 
the  opinion  of  others  regarding 
his  ability  and  product.  After 
weighing  the  pros  and  cons  of 
the  arguments,  he  tries  to  better 
his  product  by  concentrating  in 
the  area  of  his  deficiency  or 
"weak  spot."  In  the  case  of  an 
awkward  basketball  player,  he 
would  try  to  develop  his  muscu- 
lar co-ordination   by   means  of

Message  from  the  President 


By 

Thomas 
R.  Evans 


International  News 

The  voting  of  the  West  Ger- 
man Bundestag  for  Germany's 
rearmament  withlng  the  Atlantic 
Alliance  was  a  decisive  advance 
toward  the  long-debated,  often 
despaired  of  goal  of  lining  up 
the  West  Germans  with  the 
West.  This  vote;  however,  was 
not  the  last  word,  for  the  Ger- 
man Upper  House  still  has  to  be 
heard  from.  Both  sides  in  the 
cold  war,  that  the  west  and  the 
business,  had  labeled  the  Ger- 
man vote  a  point  of  no  return 
and  the  communists,  in  a  speech 
by  Foreign  Minister  Molotov, 
retribution  should  the  decision 
go  against  them.  I  am  of  the 
same  opinion  as  West  Germany's 
Chancellor  Konrad  Adenaur,  who 
maintains  that  the  rearmament 
vote  need  not  prevent  the  Rus- 
sians from  negotiating  with  the 
west;  but  In  fact  it  might  even 
encourage  them  to  negoclate.  I 
agree  solely  with  him  when  he 
said  "Strength  is  what  the  Rus- 
sians respect." 

Chiang  Kai-shek's  beleaguered 
Nationalists  have  made  three  re- 
treats in  six  weeks  and  are  on 
the  verge  of  making  a  fourth. 
First,  it  was  Yilrang  that  fell 
in  battle,  then  the  Tachens  were 
given  up  under  the  United  States 
protection  and  pressure.  Third 
the  Nationalists  have  evacuated 
Nanchl  and  presently  they  are 
on  the  verge  of  evacuating  Mat- 
sue.  How  long  will  the  Nation- 
alists continue  to  retreat  with 
the  communists  continuing  to 
press  on?  This  has  been  the 
question  foremost  in  my  mind 
since  the  nationalists  gave  up 
the  Tachen  Islands.  Perhaps  an 
answer  was  given  when  Secre- 
tary of  State  John  Foster  Dulles, 
told  Britain's  Foreign  Minister 
Sir  Anthony  Eden  at  the  con- 
ference of  Southeast  Asia  Treaty 
Organization  in  Bangkok,  that 
the  United  States  has  no  interest 
in  Quermoy  and  Matsu  which 
would  force  Nationalist  exacua- 
tion;  but  that  an  attack  on  For- 
mosa would  mean  war. 

France's  new  premier  is  a  Rad- 
ical Socialist  whose  name  is  Edar 
Faure.  Unlike  Mendes-France 
who  talked  the  languaged  of  ac- 
tion. Using  such  expressions  as 
"Original,"  "doring,"  the  need 
for  a  psychological  sock,"  and 
"you  must  choose,"  Faure  talks 
the  language  of  moderation  and 
gradualist.  He  speaks  of  "Carom 
shots"  and  "economic  billiards." 
"If  you  can't  get  over  an  ob- 
stacle, go  around  it,"  he  likes  to 
say. 

Cynics  call  Faure  "the  jug- 
gler" and  the  cainet  he  presented 
wbas  a  masterpiece.  An  explana- 
tion for  this  name  may  be  un- 
derstood from  the  following 
statement.  Premier  Faure 
pledged  his  government  to  carry 
through  Mendes'  proposed  home 
rule  for  Tunisia,  but  appointed 
as  Minister  for  Tunisian  and 
Moroccan  Affairs  a  dissident 
Gaulllst  who  strongly  opposes  it. 
This  particular  appointment  in- 
dicated an  attempt  to  strike  an 
"exact  middle"  which  might  in 
practice  turn  out  to  be  a  dead 
center. 

The  foreign  policy  of  Faure  is 
the  same  as  that  of  Mendes- 
France.  He  pledges  quick  ratifi- 
cation of  the  Paris  accord  for 
German  rearmament,  but  a  new 
effort  immediately  thereafter  for 
talks  with  Russia.  Domestically, 
he  avowed  Mendes'  "psycholog- 


It  is  Interesting  to  observe  the  concept  which  students  hold  of 
a  college  education.  In  many  instances  their  concern  has  been 
chiefly  centered  about  education  that  would  ultimately  contribute 
toward  a  vocation.  This  concept  grew  rapidly  under  the  increasing 
industrialization  of  our  society  and  the  growing  concept  of  employ- 
ment for  everyone.  To  many,  the  college  education  was  considered 
significant  only  in  terms  of  jobs  or  positions  which  could  be  secured 
at  the  completion  of  a  curriculum  or  degree  program. 

Although  many  students  have  discovered  that  the  amount  of 
time  needed  to  earn  a  living  has  been  greatly  reduced  from  decade 
to  decade,  they  have  not  recognized  the  need  for  training  for  other 
aspects  of  living.  Reference  is  made  here  particularly  to  education 
for  the  use  of  the  lengthening  leisure  time.  Since  this  period  of 
time  has  become  a  large  section  of  one's  life,  it  now  becomes  neces- 
sary to  plan  definitely  for  leisure-time  living.  Students  will  need  to 
learn  how  to  direct  their  education  in  this  area  themselves.  The 
close  relationship  of  the  use  of  the  leisure  period  to  the  vacation 
and  enjoyable  living  becomes  more  evident  each  year.  Along  with 
formal  training  one  should  acquire  skills  and  interests  in  activities 
which  may  not  necessarily  contribute  directly  to  earning  a  living. 

Hobbies  and  recreational  activities  are  basic  needs  of  all  in- 
dividuals. While  the  student  acquires  his  college  education,  he  ought 
to  be  exploring  activities  and  learning  things  that  will  contribute 
to  the  increasing  segment  of  life  known  as  leisure.  Every  student 
should  plan  in  his  schedule  some  time  to  learn  new  games,  physical 
and  social,  and  activities  which  one  would  enjoy  doing  for  the  sake 
of  activity.  A  variety  of  interests  should  be  cultivated  beyond  the 
level  of  the  average  performance.  In  practically  every  Instance, 
this  program  can  be  integrated  with  the  student's  program  of 
studies  without  limiting  one's  success  in  his  studies  and  at  very 
small  or  no  additional  cost.  The  time  to  begin  such  a  program  is 
now.  It  can  be  started  with  a  single  activity  and  increased  both 
in  variety  and  number  as  the  year  progresses.

National  News 

After  savage  name-calling  po- 
litical debate,  the  Democratic 
majority  of  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives passed  and  sent  to  the 
Senate  a  bill  to  cut  income  taxes 
by  $20  per  capita. 

It  is  the  belief  of  this  reporter 
that  the  bill  will  probably  die  in 
the  Senate.  For  the  Democrates 
it  might  be  better  political  ideas 
than  motive !  The  voters  will 
know  that  the  Democrats  fought 
a  good  fight  for  lower  taxes.  If 
it  shoul  pass,  the  average  tax- 
payer would  take  home  only  a 
$1.55  more  a  week — a  dribble  un- 
likely to  start  a  Democratic  flood 
tide,  especially  if  an  increased 
federal  budget  deficit  causes  a 
rise  in  the  cost  of  living.

The  Masonry 
Department 

By  A.  C.  Carter 

Department  Chairman 

To  the  layman,  masonry  with 
reference  to  building  construc- 
tion is  generally  conceived  as  an 
undignified  vocation  or  job  tha' 
can  easily  be  performed  by 
flunkies.  However,  it  should  b< 
well  understood  that  the  mosi 
outstanding  journeymen  of  thi.; 
most  unlimited  vocation  posses' 
a  technical  "know  how"  that  is 
founded  upon  an  extensive  area 
of  architectural  understanding 
mathematics  and  craftsmanship 
dating  back  to  the  very  cradle 
of  our  civilization.  Today,  more 
than  10%  of  all  building  con- 
struction is  masonry,  and  that 
there  will  inevitably  be  an  in- 
creased percentage  is  logically 
unquestionable. 

Masonry  at  Savannah  State 
College  is  not  only  brickmason- 
ry  as  many  of  us  think.  Masonry 
has  never  been  so  limited  as  that. 
From  time  to  time  as  many  other 
vocations  and  professions,  it 
must  be  redefined  in  accordance 
with  existing  trends.  At  this  in- 
stitution, masonry  consists  of 
til  mixing  various  types  of  mor- 
tar; (2)  brickmasonry;  (3)  stone- 
masonry;  )4*  concrete  masonry; 
(5)  terrazzo;  (6)  plastering  and 
stuccoing;  i7)  laying  glass  block, 
and  (8*  lathing.  Some  of  the 
most  essential  related  areas  in 
which  training  is  given,  are 
architectural  drawing,  blueprint 
reading,  masonry  mathematics, 
excavating,  surveying,  and  speci- 
fications. Some  carpentry  is  also 
included. 

The  building  of  projects  rang- 
ing from  miniature  piers,  corners 
and  walls  to  various  types  of 
buildings^is  emphasized.  Masonry 
repairs  on  existing  structures 
are  also  included.  Objectives,  in- 
formation and  procedures  enable 
the  students  to  lay  out  and  build 
the  very  unlimited  and  flexible 
variety  of  projects.  Such  per- 
sonality traits  as  cooperation, 
application  and  industry,  neat- 
ness and  orderliness,  reliability. 
initiative,  aptitude,  workmanship 
and  speed  are  stressed,  observed 
and  graded. 

Occasionally,  field  trips  are 
made  to  points  where  building 
construction  is  being  carried  on. 
and  to  plants  producing  building 
materials.

We  the  Pyramids 

During  the  past  weeks  each 
of  the  Pyramids  has  been  work- 
ing toward  the  finer  things  of 
life.  To  know  that  some  day  we 
may  be  a  part  of  the  great  so- 
rority, Delta  Sigma  Theta,  makes 
us  strive  all  the  more  earnestly 
to  be  successful. 

We  are  very  proud  of  our  dean 
of  pledges,  Big  Sister  Mercedes, 
A.  Mitchell,  who  is  working  very 
hard  with  us.  Her  patience  and 
understanding  have  made  her 
an  excellent  pilot  and  helper  for 
us. 

We  are  now  sponsoring  a  "Miss 
Pyramid"  contest  in  which  each 
pyramid  is  involved,  competing 
against  each  other.  We  seem  to 
be  progressing  very  well.  It  seems 
as  if  each  one  wants  to  be 
crowned  "Miss  Pyramid."  In  the 
end  we  hope  to  run  so  close  to- 


gether that  we  will  all  be  con- 
sidered as  "Misses  Pyramids." 

Your  cooperation  has  been 
greatly  appreciated,  and  we 
thank  each  of  you  for  it.

Rho  Beta  in  the  News 

The  members  of  Rho  Beta 
Chapter  of  Zeta  Phi  Beta  So- 
rority are  indeed  happy  to  an- 
nounce that  Soror  Dorothy  R. 
Heath  received  a  sorority  schol- 
arship. The  scholarship  was 
given  to  Soror  Heath  from  the 
Southeastern  Region  of  Zeta  Phi 
Beta  Sorority,  Inc.  Soror  Heath 
is  a  sophomore,  majoring  in  ele- 
mentary education.  She  is  a  na- 
tive of  Savannah. 

We  deeply  regret  the  illness  of 
Soror  Gwendolyn  Keith.  W  e 
wish  her  a  speedy  recovery. 

What  is  now  history  —  Rho 
Beta  was  honored  to  have  Dr. 
Nancy  B.  Woolridge  to  visit  us 
here  on  our  campus.  We  gave 
a  reception  for  her  in  the  lounge 
of  Camellia  Hubert  Hall.  She 
is  a  very  lovely  person,  and  she  ■ 
seemed  to  have  enjoyed  meeting 
our  students.  Soror  lone  McLen- 
don,  Dean  Holloway,  Miss  De- 
lores  Perry,  Miss  Mary  Daniels 
and  Miss  Leona  Bolden  were 
among  those  who  met  her. 

Dr.  Woolridge  is  professor  of 
history  at  Hampton  Institute.  We 
joined  our  sorors  of  Alpha  Theta 
Zeta  in  celebration  of  Finer 
Womanhood  Week,  at  which  time 
Dr.  Woolridge  was  guest  speaker. 
Our  theme  was  "Women  Facing 
New  Frontiers." 

On  March  10,  Rho  Beta  was  in 
charge  of  the  assembly  program. 
We  were  fortunate  in  being  able 
to  present  Mr.  J.  Saunders  Red- 
ding of  Hampton  Institute  who 
was  consultant  for  the  Language 
Arts  Festival.  He  is  a  distin- 
guished author  and  a  very  able 
speaker.  He  spoke  very  effective- 
ly on  the  subject  "Books  and 
Men."  Soror  Heath's  scholarship 
was  presented  at  this  assembly 
by  our  basileus,  Soror  Mary 
Bacon.

\  Night  at  a  Balloon  Ballet 

By  Janet  Colvin 

On  the  night  of  March  4  more 
than  one  hundred  Clnderellas 
and  their  handsome  Princes 
Charming  spent  a  lovely  eve- 
ning in  the  land  of  a  "Balloon 
Ballet."  This  affair  was  the  An- 
nual Freshman  Ball  at  Willcox 
Gymnasium. 

Dancing  under  the  balloon 
decorated  roof  to  Tiny  Austin's 
band,  an  enjoyable  time  was 
had  by  all.  The  ladies  were 
decked  in  beautiful  gowns  of  all 
the  colors  in  the  rainbow.  Their 
escorts  were  very  handsome  in 
their  dark  suits  and  dinner 
jackets. 

On  arriving  at  the  ball  the 
guests  were  greeted  by  the  class 
advisers,  Miss  Althea  Morton  and 
Mr.  A.  E.  Peacock.  Many  other 
faculty  members  attended  the 
affair. 

Just  before  intermission  the 
band  played  a  lively  march  while 
Jaunita  Gilbert  and  Oliver  Swaby 
led  a  grand  march  around  the 
floor. 

After  the  march  Misses  Julia 
Baker  and  Arlene  Anderson 
served  orange  colored  punch  and 
cookies. 

At  the  close  of  the  evening  the 
band  played  "Good  Night,  Sweet-

Fas  Iiion's 

On   the  Campus 

By  Janet  I).  Colvin 

Looking  across  the  hallowed 
grounds  of  S.S.C.,  I  see  many 
attractions  in  the  new  fashions. 
I  see  Paris  at  Savannah  State. 
The  new  long  rope  necklaces, 
long  waistlines,  and  bare  sandals 
continue  to  be  the  look  for  "55. 
Many  of  our  young  ladles,  faculty 
and  students  alike,  are  truly  liv- 
ing up  to  the  new  look. 

I'm  sure  the  fellows  will  agree 
that  this  "new  look"  is  quite 
attractive  on  the  ladies.  They 
couldn't  help  but  like  the  Ber- 
muda shorts  and  long  socks 
which  are  a  part  of  today's 
fashions. 

For  the  coming  summer,  Paris 
designer  Dior  has  suggested 
sleeveless  dresses  with  high 
necklines.  The  colors  for  the 
coming  season  are  yellow,  deep 
rose,  pink,  avocado  green,  and 
several  shades  of  purple  with 
white  accents  assessories.  The 
favorite  fabric  will  be  the  per- 
manent pleated  cotton  in  pastel 
shades. 

The  new  look  and  new  fabric 
have  added  more  charm  and 
glamour  to  the  ladies.  This  year 
more  than  ever  all  women  are 
fashion  conscious.  We  tip  our 
hats  to  Mr.  Dior  and  Mr.  Deese 
of  Paris. 

My  Song! 

A  Free  Verse — S.  Green 

Love  is  my  song;  the  song  I  sing; 

A  song  of  ecstacy!  .  .  . 

The  sweetest  thing  that  God  has 

made 
And  shall  forever  be! 

Wake   up   my   darling,   wake    up 

I  say! 
And  queen  yourself  another 

king; 
For  blooming  roses  lose  their 

fragrance, 
But  love  is  sweeter  in  the  spring! 

Let  us,  then,  cherish,  and  sing, 
While  college  days  slowly  rein, 
That  love  is  sung,  with  music, 

with  fun! 
Love  shall  be,  must  be,  sweeter 

in  the  spring!

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


March.  1955 


Sports  As 
I  See  It 


By  James  L.  O'Neal 

Both  Savannah  State  College's 
boys  and  girls  came  through  as 
expected  when  they  won  the 
S.A.E.C.  tournament  here  In  Sa- 
vannah State's  new  gymnasium. 

The  girls  had  no  trouble  win- 
ning the  championship  as  they 
ran  over  Albany's  States  girls 
59-30  and  then  won  the  final 
game  37-21  over  Florida  Normal 
to  take  the  title.  Most  of  the 
girls'  attack  was  lead  by  Clarl 
Bryant,  Rosa  Lee  Moore  and 
Gwendolyn  Keith.  All  three  were 
placed  on  the  first  All-Confer- 
ence team.  Gwendolyn  Keith  was 
further  named  the  most  valuable 
player  of  girls  tournament. 

The  Savannah  State  boys  ad- 
vanced to  the  final  by  running 
away  with  Albany  frt-07  and 
edged  by  Claflin  University  61- 
50  to  take  the  championship. 
This  was  the  second  straight 
year  that  Savannah  eased  past 
Claflin.  They  edged  Claflin 
85-84  in  the  semi-final  and 
went  on  to  defeat  Morris  for 
the  championship, 

Robert  Lewis,  Noel  Wright,  and 
Otis  Brock  were  named  on  the 
All-Conference  team.  Brock  was 
named  the  tournament  most  val- 
uable palyer.  All  three  of  these 
players  will  return  next  season. 
There  will  be,  however,  a  big 
hole  created  by  the  absence  of 
Ceelllo  Williams,  who  has  worn 
the  blue  and  orange  his  last 
time.  Williams  is  a  senior  from 
Panama  and  has  averaged  more 
than  20  points  per  game  for  the 
past  three  seasons, 

Ollbert  Jackson,  along  with 
clevon  Johnson  and  Charles 
Ashe,  will  probably  replace  Wil- 
liams in  the  center  spot  next 
season.  Jackson  Is  a  G'5"  sopho- 
more who  has  shown  great  prom- 
ise this  season.  Coach  Whlght 
will  also  be  counting  on  Johnson 
and  Ashe  who  have  both  seen 
considerable  service  in  the  center 
position, 

Now  that  basketball  Is  a  thing 
of  the  past,  most  of  the  attention 
will  be  focused  on  the  track  and 
baseball  teams.  Last  year  the 
Tigers  won  the  S.E.A.C.  track 
meet  and  should  be  better  this 
year  with  all  of  the  same  boys 
back  plus  a  number  of  freshmen, 
who  took  good  In  training.  The 
first  meet  this  year  will  be  March 
26  at  the  Florida  A.  &  M.  relays. 

The  baseball  season  will  open 
on  April  8  when  the  Tigers  meet 
Allen  University  at  Savannah 
State's  Athletic  field.  Last  year 
they  played  only  three  games 
and  looked  sharp  winning  two 
of  them. 


critical  attitude  rather  than  one 
of  admiration.  There  are  two 
many  egotists  today  and  Knute 
Roekne  'Notre  Dame's  deceased 
football  coachi  said  that  gotism 
Is  the  anesthetic  which  deadens 
the  pains  of  stupidity  .  .  .  never, 
never,  give  up  .  .  .  never  alibi." 

These  are  my  beliefs.    Are  they 
yours?

rope  Jumping,  pivot  control  exer- 
cises, and  run  stop  exercises.  To 
accomplish  these  goals  the  In- 
dividual must  possess  the  stimuli 
of  an  internal  drive  nownk  com- 
monly as  PRIDE. 

The  ability  to  think  is  very  im- 
portant in  the  achievement  of 
an  ambition.  The  ambitious  In- 
dividual finds  time  to  think 
eratlcally  and  by  this  medium 
develops  accurate  criteria  for  ef- 
fecting thinking.  The  solution, 
by  which  the  expenditure  of  time 
is  comparing  the  information 
given  to  those  needed  and  add- 
ing degrees  of  systematic  think- 
ing, may  be  found. 

To  conclude,  I  will  quote  Coach 
Frank  Leahy,  ex-coach  of  Notre 
Dame  University,  who  said  "Pay 
the  price  in  sweat,  effort  and 
sacrifice  .  .  .  strive  for  perfection

ARE  fOU  METICULOUS  about  your  choice  of  cigarettes? 
Do  you  want  exactly  the  right  taste?  Then  take  a  hint 
from  the  Droodle  ^bove,  titled:  Ash  tray  belonging  to 
very  tidy  Lucky  smoker.  Luckies  taste  neat—  and  for 
excellent  reasons.  First  of  all,  Lucky  Strike  means  fine 
tobacco.  Then,  that  tobacco  is  toasted  to  taste  better. 
'It'sToasted"  is  the  famous  Lucky  Strike 
process  that  tones  up  Luckies'  light, 
good -tasting  tobacco  to  make  it  taste 
even  better . . .  cleaner,  fresher,  smoother. 
So  enioy  yourself  thoroughly  whenever 
it's  light-up  time.  Light  up  the  better- 
tasting  cigarette  .  .  .  Lucky  Strike.

The  Bible  Says 

Bylsalah  Mclver 
The  one  origin  of  man  is  not  only  good  Bible  but  It  Is  a  basic 
scientific  fact.  There  are  no  superior  bloods  and  there  are  no 
superior  races,  However,  this  Is  oik-  of  the  hardest  truths  for  many 
Bible  believers  to  accept  In  America,  particularly  in  the  South 
where  eerl.iiln    people   follow   the   pattern  of  race  superiority. 

Those  who  are  responsible  for  'spreading  and  keeping  alive 
prejudice  and  hatred  would  have  us  believe  that  man  was  not 
created  of  one  blood,  They  may  say  that  some  men  should  not  be 
permitted  to  live  here  on  earth,  or  if  they  must  dwell  here  on  this 
earth  they  should  not  be  permitted  to  share  and  enjoy  the  same 
facilities  In  society 

There  are  many  leaders  whd  deny  the  basic  truths  of  the  Bible. 
The  most  widely  known  leader  of  this  type  was  Adolph  Hitler,  He 
taught  the  doctrine  of  superior  bloods  and  superior  races.  According 
in  him  the  Negroes  and  the  Jews  were  the  lowest  class  of  humans 
and  thai,  they  should  be  segregated  Into  certain  sections  and 
destroyed. 

Hitler's  principles  caused  more  than  twenty  million  people  to 
lose  I  heir  lives,  but  he  and  his  principles  were  removed  from  the 
tail  nl  the  earth  in  Germany.  Since  the  things  that  Hitler  stood 
for  and  practiced  were  so  inhuman,  millions  of  courageous  fair 
thinking  people  destroyed  him  and  his  teachings  in  order  that  the 
minority  as  well  as  the  majority  may  enjoy  some  of  the  pursuits  of 
happiness  that  are  automatically  theirs, 

Hitler's  teachings  and  practices  were  branded  as  Inhuman  and 
unlawful  by  every  fair  thinking  individual  on  the  face  of  the  earth 
and  yet  right  here  in  America  there  Is  an  organization  that  teaches 
and  practices  the  same  tilings  that  Hitler  was  destroyed  for. 

Everyone  knows  that  the  Klu  Klux  Klan  denies  the  truths  of 
the  Bible  and  teaches  the  doctrine  of  hatred  and  prejudice  for  the 
minority  races,  especially  the  Negro 

Th  Klu  Klux  Klan  operates  under  the  Identical  principles  that 
Hitler  taught,  if  Hitler  was  destroyed  because  of  his  inhuman 
teachings  and  practices,  then  why  are  the  Klu  Klux  Klan  being 
permitted  to  operate  In  certain  sections  of  a  democratic  country 
such  as  ours? 

Before  any  of  us  can  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven  we 
must  have  hearts  like  little  children. 

if  we  wonder  what  the  heart  of  a  child  is  like  we  can  watch 
their  actions  in  every  day  activities  and  come  to  an  answer.  Little 
children  play  in  harmony  together  unaware  of  the  fact  certain 
people  have  different  creeds  or  that  their  skins  are  of  a  different 
color.  They  continue  to  play  In  harmony  until  they  are  indoctri- 
nated by  their  parents,  who  are  in  many  Instances  considered  good 
Christians  by  the  society  in  which  they  live.  Small  children  play 
together  In  harmony  because  they  are  born  without  any  knowledge 
of  hatred,  skin  colors  or  differences  in  creeds,  bloods  or  races. 

Can  anything  be  plainer,  when  the  Bible  says  that  we  cannot 
gain  entrance  into  heaven  until  we  become  as  little  children? 
Little  children  are  without  hate,  malice  or  prejudice  for  their  con- 
temporaries and  they  remain  this  way  until  they  are  indoctrinated 
by  their  supposedly  Christian  parents. 

Those  of  us  who  aren't  being  taught  that  all  men  are  of  the 
same  blood  are  receiving  false  teachings.  Until  our  thoughts  and 
actions  become  as  those  of  a  little  child,  we  cannot  enter  the 
kingdom  of  heaven — so  says  the  Bible. 

Wv  \  iews  on  Planned  Parenthood 

By  Johnny  Gilbert,  Jr. 

The  number  of  births  in  a  family  should  be  controlled  accord- 
ing to  the  amount  of  wealth  that  the  family  possesses.  A  rich 
or  semi-rich  family  can  better  support  a  large  group  of  children 
than  a  poor  family  can. 

Birth  control  is  very  important  in  our  society  because  we  find 
that  too  many  children  are  being  born  to  parents  who  are  not 
capable  of  giving  them  the  right  support.  Among  the  rich  class 
of  people  the  birth  rates  are  not  as  high  as  they  are  in  the  poor 
class.  My  explanation  of  such  would  be  that  the  rich  class  has 
realized  the  expense  of  a  large  family,  and  the  poor  class  has  still 
got  that  conclusion  to  reach. 

If  our  birth  rates  in  America  must  be  high,  I  think  they  should 
occur  among  the  rich  and  semi-rich  class  of  people  so  the  children 
would  be  supported  well.  The  poor  class  of  people  should  have  small 
families,  because  of  little  wealth  they  are  not  able  to  support  large 
families.

By 


Three  outstanding  events  spot- 
light the  international  news  of 
this  Issue. 

The  resignation  of  Sir  Winston 
Churchill  as  Prime  Minister  of 
Great  Britain,  who  has  been 
called  the  greatest  man  the  20th 
century  has  yet  produced,  brings 
to  a  close  an  era  enriched  with 
great  achievement  and  enlivened 
with  brlllance  and  wit.  The  only 
living  member  of  the  famous  tri- 
angle during  World  War  II. 
(Roosevelt,  Churchill  and  Stal- 
in) will  be  long  remembered  for 
his  attack  against  any  offender 
of  freedom. 

But  his  restless  genius  and 
hunger  for  the  limelight  makes 
it  fairly  safe  to  predict  he  has 
not  made  his  final  bow  to  his 
vast  world  audience. 

The  Asian-African  conference 
will  marke  the  first  time  that 
Asian  and  African  nations  have 
got  together  without  the  partici- 
pation of  any  western  powers. 
This  conference  will  represent 
more  than  half  the  population 
of  the  globe,  and  in  scope  and 
importance  will  rank  second  in 
world  affairs  only  to  a  meeting 
of  the  General  Assembly  of  the 
United  Nations. 

It  is  the  belief  of  this  reporter 
that  rivalries,  cross-currents  and 
animosities  are  bound  to  arise 
at  this  conference,  but  there  is 
one  feeling  that  will  be  shared 
by  all  African-A.iian  conference 
marks  a  manifestation  and  up- 
surge on  the  part  of  the  peoples 
and  nations  who,  with  some  ex- 
ceptions, have  in  modern  times 
played  roles  subordinate  to  the 
peoples  and  nations  of  the  west. 
The  Soviet  Union  has  an- 
nounced the  arrangement  of  a 
treaty  with  Austria.  In  the  west 
this  announcement  developed 
cautioned  optimism.  The  Aus- 
trian-Russian agreement  seemed 
to  enhance  the  prospect  for  a 
Big  Four  Conference  on  Europe 
and  to  provide  a  concrete  test 
of  the  Russians'  intention  to 
deal  in  good  faith.  At  the  same 
time  there  has  been  a  feeling 
that  Austria  was  being  used  as 
a  Russian  pawn  in  a  gambit  for 
the  greater  prize  of  Germany. 
I  am  inclined  to  believe  in  the 
second  view.  The  Russians'  real 
aim  is  to  thwart  the  Western 
venture  for  armament  of  West 
Germany  under  the  North  At- 
lantic Treaty  Organization.  They 
may  be  preparing  to  tempt  the 
Germans  with  the  thought  "You 
too  can  be  unified  and  sovereign 
— if  you  stay  neutral."  The  temp- 
tation to  the  Germans  is  likely 
to  be  strong,  and  the  test  of 
western  diplomacy   formidable. 


Speaking  of  Books 

By  Dorothy  Davis 

These  four  books  have  been 
selected  as  the  most  popular  of 
the  month  and  are  now  in  our 
library. 

To  all  persons  who  are  inter- 
ested in  improving  their  reading 
ability  the  library  has  recently 
received  Rudalf  Flesch's  newest 
book.  Why  Johnny  Can't  Read 
and  What  You  Can  Do  About  It. 

Strange  as  it  may  seem  it  is 
an  angry  book  by  an  aroused 
parent  telling  how  the  American 
system  of  teaching  children  has 
changed  since  1925.  Why  John- 
ny Can't  Read  contains  complete 
material  and  instructions  for 
teaching  children  to  read  by  the 
old  standard  methods. 

The  biography  Gertrude  Law- 
rence As  Mrs.  A  written  by  Rich- 
ard Staddard  Aldrich  is  an  inti- 
mate biography  of  the  great  star, 


Veterans  Initiate 
Dining  Hall  Project 

There  has  always  been  an 
argument  as  to  who  would  be 
served  first  in  the  dining  hall; 
but  there  was  nerer  an  answer. 
Most  of  the  students  crowded 
to  the  front  of  the  line  and 
struggled  to  get  ahead  of  the 
next  person.  Now,  of  course,  it 
will  be  different  because  the 
Veterans'  Club  has  started  a  pro- 
ject that  is  designed  to  improve 
the  atmosphere  In  the  dining 
hall  during  regular  meals. 

To  improve  the  atmosphere, 
the  club  will  place  monitors  in 
the  dining  hall  to  prevent  cut- 
ting the  line  and  entering  side 
doors.  This  will  enable  everyone 
to  have  a  fair  chance  of  first 
come,  first  served. 

The  president  of  the  Veterans' 
Club,  Mr.  James  Thomas,  has 
appointed  the  following  persons 
to  work  in  helping  put  this  pro- 
ject through  successfully:  Mrs. 
Delores  Atterbury.  Commodore 
Conyers,  James  Cooper,  Reubin 
Cooper,  Alexander  Gardner.  Jr., 
and  Charles  Pugh. 

This  is  one  of  the  social  edu- 
cation projects  that  has  the  full 
support  and  approval  of  the  of- 
fice of  the  director  of  student 
personnel. 


Career  Conferenee 
Held  on  April  I 

By  Daniel  Washington 

During  the  week  of  April  4th. 
and  5th.,  The  Division  of  Home 
Economics  and  The  Department 
of  Business  Administration  spon- 
sored The  Career  Conference  at 
Savannah  State  College.  The 
Purpose  of  the  conference  was 
to  get  more  of  our  young  peo- 
ple interested  in  applying  for 
jobs  in  which  they  will  earn 
more  money  and  also  have  the 
advantages  of  seeking  higher 
goals  in  employment. 

Mr.  M.  T.  Puryear.  Director  of 
Vocations  Urban  League.  At- 
lanta, Georgia,  was  the  keynote 
speaker  in  all  college  assembly 
on  Monday,  April  4.  Mr.  Pur- 
year pointed  out  the  many  job 
opportunities  that  await  intelli- 
gent and  ambitious  young  men 
and  women  who  have  the  desire 
to  reach  higher  goals.  Some  of 
the  jobs  were  Industrial  Engi- 
neering, Sanitation  Engineering, 
Personnel  Managers,  and  Secre- 
tarial Jobs.  Some  of  these  jobs 
were  not  offered  in  our  immedi- 
ate section  of  the  country.  This 
brought  out  another  point  which 
Mr.  Puryear  discussed,  The  need 
to  Travel.  There  are  many  job 
opportunities  in  other  sections 
of  the  country  and  many  of  us 
can  fill  these  positions  by  doing 
a  little  traveling. 

Other  participants  of  the  pro-

Kappa  Alpha  Psi 

Gamma  chi  chapter  of  Kappa 

Alpha    Psi    fraternity   is   in    the 

stretch  of  its  preparation  for  its 

fourth  annual  variety  show.  The 


young  ladies  competing  for  the 
title  of  "Miss  Kappa"  show  plen- 
ty of  zeal  and  seem  determined 
to  win.  The  program  promises  to 
be  fruitful  in  every  respect.  Some 
of  the  best  talent  of  this  locale 
has  signed  to  participate  in  the 
show.  Incidentally  a  most  capa- 
ble emce  was  selected. 

Immediately  following  the  va- 
riety show  the  brothers  are  in- 
tensively concentrating  on  Nat- 
ional Guide  Right  Week.  In  the 
program  Kappa  Alpha  Psi  helps 
young,  not  yet  in  college  to 
choose  their  most  plausible  call- 
ing in  life.  Gamma  Chi,  as  well 
as  Kappa  Alpha  Psi.  is  marked 
by  its  success  in  promoting  this 
movement  each  year.  The  bro- 
thers of  Gamma  Chi  plan  to 
take  their  proper  place  In  the 
ranks  and  conduct  a  positively 
reflecting  program. 

Our  adviser,  Brother  Camper, 
is  provincial  chairman  and  has 
already  begun  a  commendable 
job  to  start  The  Guide  Right 
Week  with  a  bang.  The  con- 
centration week  of  the  Kappa 
Alpha  Psi  Guide  Right  Program 
is  April  24-30. 

The  brothers  are  proud  of 
brother  David  Lurry  for  accept- 
ing to  do  his  practice  work  in 
Erunswick,  Georgia  In  order  to 
allow  another  student  to  remain 
in  Savannah  to  continue  his 
work-aid  which  has  helped  so 
much  in  his  school  expense.  Our 
hats  are  off  to  a  good  Kappa 
for  this  sincere  sacrifice.

on  a  table  in  the  center  of  the 
room  surrounded  by  Easter  eggs

Choral  Society 
Goes  on  Tour 

By  Ethel  L.  Mack 

This  is  "tour  season"  for  the 
Choral  Society.  All  of  you  have 
wondered  no  doubt,  and  some  of 
you  have  asked  about  the  trips 
that  we're  making.  To  ease  that 
wonder  here  is  a  synopsis  of 
what  we've  been  doing. 

On  March  7,  we  sang  at  the 
George  Washing  School  in  Syl- 
vania,  Georgia. 

After  the  concert  in  Sylvania, 
the  principal  of  the  school,  Mr. 
Joseph  Lacy,  took  us  on  a  tour 
of  the  beautiful  and  spacious 
campus. 

It  should  be  mentioned  that 
after  many  years  of  endur- 
ing with  an  ill-equipped  school, 
Sylvania  will  soon  be  able  to 
cpen  her  doors  to  a  new  school, 
which  is  estimated  to  cost  a  little 
over  a  million  dollars. 

On  March  31,  at  8  p.m.,  the 
chorus  sang  at  the  evening  ses- 
sion of  the  Alpha  Kappa  Mu 
National  Convention.  The  selec- 
tions rendered  were  "Go  Down 
Moses",  and  "Ride  the  Chariot". 
Alexander  Luten  was  the  tenor 
soloist. 


On  Friday  morning.  April  1. 
the  Choral  Society  again  ap- 
peared for  the  Alpha  Kappa  Mu 
Convention.  They  sang  the 
"Italian  Street  Song",  with  Miss 
Lula  Hadley.  a  freshman  from 
Thomasville.  Georgia,  as  soprano 
soloist.  So  well  rendered  wns 
this  selection  that  it  rated  an 
encore. 

On  April  5,  we  gave  an  after- 
noon concert  in  Dublin.  Georgia. 
An  evening  concert  was  given  on 
the  same  date  in  Lyons.  Georgia. 

Wednesday  evening,  April  6, 
we  give  a  concert  in  Statesboro. 
Georgia. 

April  8  i  Good  Friday  i .  the 
Choral  Society  appeared  at  St. 
Matthews  Episcopal  Church  in 
Savannah.  Georgia,  singing  "The 
Seven  Last  Words  of  Christ". 
This  program  was  given  at  eight 
o'clock  in  the  evening. 

On  Palm  Sunday  the  Choral 
Society  presented  "Seven  Last 
Words  of  Christ",  On  that  Sun- 
day, this  cantata  was  recorded 
by  WJIV,  and  selected  as  one  of 
the  programs  to  be  heard  on 
Easter  Sunday. 

Our  soloists  for  that  Sunday 
were  Miss  Lula  Hadley,  Earnest 
Greene,  and  Robert  C.  Long.  Sr. 
Because  of  a  cold  Mr.  Joseph 
Brown  was  unable  to  sing  the 
tenor  solos,  but  we  were  more 
than  grateful  to  Mr.  Long  I'm 
taking  his  place  on  such  short 
notice. 

Now  that  you  know  the  places 
we  went,  perhaps  you  would  like 
to  hear  of  some  of  our  rendi- 
tions. 

Usually  our  first  three  num- 
bers were  classics.  Some  of  the 
classics  that  we  sang  were  "God 
Be  in  My  Head"  by  Grant- 
Schaefer,  "Now  Let  Every  Tongue 
Adore  Thee"  by  Bach,  "Lacry- 
mosa",  from  the  famous  "Re- 
qieum  by  Mozart. 

And  a  long  and  difficult  piece 
from  the  Romantic  period,  "How 
Lovely  is  Thy  Dwelling  Place" 
from  Brahm's  "A  German  Re- 
quieum". 

The  ensemble  also  rendered 
numbers  on  the  tour.  Some  of 
songs  they  sang  were  "Bless 
Thou  the  Lord,  O  My  Soul"  by 
Ippolitof  Ivanof  and  "Rockin' 
Jerusalem"  by  Work. 

Usually  after  the  esemble  per- 
formed, the  full  chorus  rendered 
such  songs  as  "Dance  A  Ca- 
chueha"  from  the  operetta,  "The 
Gondoliers"  by  Sullivan.  From 
the  Operetta  "Naughty  Mariet- 
ta", by  Victor  Herbert,  or  the 
"Italian  Street  Song". 

Our  programs  were  climaxed 
by  three  afro- American  Folk 
Songs.  Some  of  these  folk  songs 
were:  "Go  Down  Moses",  ar- 
ranged by  Dr.  C.  A.  Braithwalte. 
"There  Is  a  Balm  in  Gilead",  al- 
so arranged  by  Dr.  Braithwaitc 
and  "Rice  the  Chariot",  arranged 
by  Smith. 

After  each  of  the  Concerts,  we 
ended  with  our  Alma  Mater,  "We 
Hail  Thee  S.S.C." 

On  our  final  three  concerts, 
three  words  from  the  "Seven 
Last  Words  of  Christ"  were  add- 
ed to  the  program  to  emphasize 
Holy  Week.  These  words  were 
received  in  silent  meditation — 
at  all  of  our  final  performances. 
Whenever  the  Choral  Society 
leave  the  campus,  the  Alma 
Mater  is  sung.  This  is  a  remind- 
er that  when  they  are  away, 
they  proudly  represent  Savan- 
nah State  College  and  not  the 
Choral  Society. 


Choral  Society  in 
Easter  Program 

The  Savannah  State  College 
Choral  Society  presented  Theo- 
dore Dubois'  "The  Seven  Last 
Words  of  Christ"  on  Sunday, 
April  3.  1955  in  Meldrim  Audi- 
torium. 

Dr  Coleridge  A.  Braithwaite 
conducted  the  performance,  and 
Miss  Evelyn  V.  Grant,  a  member 
of  Fine  Arts  Department,  as- 
sisted at  the  organ. 

Soloists  included  Miss  Lula 
Hadley.  Soprano,  freshman  from 


Thomasville  Georgia;  Mr.  Joseph 
Brown.  Tenor,  Sophomore  from 
Columbus,  Georgia;  and  Mr.  Er- 
nest Greene.  Baritone,  from  Sa-

who  attended

that  spring  is  here 

The  young  ladles  have  on  their 
low  neckline  dresses  with  their 
long  string  pearls.  Most  of  the 
young  laslea  are  dashing  for  the

The  young  men  are  real  gone 
for  the  "Mr.  B"  pink  shirts  With 
the  black,  brown,  and  gray  chnr- 
conl  suits.  They  are  also  going

When  the  trees  are  filled  with

The  scent  of  honeysuckles  fill

Birds  fly  from  tree  to  brco  sing-

We  know  (hut  spring  is  here. 

As  Mother  Nature  again  repeats 

hersell 
The  grass  Is  turning  green, 
Living  tilings  take  life  all  anew 
And  smile   In  satisfaction,  so  It 

seems. 

Nn  longer  do  we  spend  the  day 

In  doors 
To  hide  from  the  cold  and  rain; 
We  go  out  in  the  sun,  to  Join  the

Will  be  tile  New  York  Yankees 
and  the  New  York  Giants  in  the 
1055  World  Series;  however,  since 
that  Is  a  matter  of  opinion,  here 
Is    mine. 

Cleveland  will  not  win  in 
games  this  season  but  they  still 
have  the  best  pitching  staff  In 
the  league  plus  Ralph  Klner  who 
win  probably  hit  :iit  to  40  home 
runs. 

Brooklyn  was  not  off  too  bad 
last  year  but  should  be  better 
this  season  with  the  come-back 
of  Roy  Campanella  and  Don 
Newcomb  plus  a  year's  experi- 
ence tin-  Manager  Walter  Alton, 
To  me  it  looks  like  like  the  In- 
dians and  Dodgers— How  about 
you?  yes.

"A  CHILD'S  CROWN" 

'Tis  oft  told  in  the  villages 
That  a  small  Boy — just  a  Child — 
Once  left  his  home  to  wander  far 
O'er  fields  and  forest  wild. 

'Tis  oft  told  in  the  city  squares 
How  He  tamed  the  savage  beasts. 
To   hear   His   voice,    to   be   near 

Him. 
They  came  from  West  and  East. 

'Tis  oft  told  in  the  royal  courts 
That  one  day  came  a  storm. 
The  rain  fell  and  the  wind  blew 

hard; 
The    Child's    love    stoll    glowed 

warm. 

Tis  oft  told  on  the  open  seas 
That  He  returned  whence  He  was 

born. 
Among     His     treasures     was     a 

crown — 
It  was  a  Crown  of  Thorns.

Editor-in-chief  Graduates 

In  .September  1051  Mr.  Clarence  Lofton  a  graduate  of  Lee  Street 
High  Kclmul,  Blackshear,  entered  Savannah  State  to  study  In  the 
field  or  Industrial  Education. 

Alter  adjusting  himself  to  the  college  environment  very  rapidly 
and  showing  the  ability  to  become  a  leader  and  to  undertake  re- 
sponsibilities that  required  both  skill  and  talent,  he  became  very 
active  In  many  organizations  on  and  off  the  campus.  During  his 
first  year  here  at  Savannah  State  he  participated  In  the  Glee  Club, 
the  Camera  Club,  the  Y.M.C.A.  and  he  served  as  editor  of  the  stu- 
dent newspaper  and  the  college  yearbook. 

During  his  junior  year  he  became  editor-in-chief  of  the  Tiger's 
Roar  and  was  elected  president  of  the  College  Y.M.C.A.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Omega  Psi  Phi  Fraternity  for  which  he  has  held 
positions  as  neophyte  commander  and  keeper  of  finance,  he  has 
further  served  as  a  member  of  the  Alpha  Kappa  Mu  tutorial  group, 
parliamentarian  for  the  Y.M.C.A.,  and  a  member  of  the  varsity 
basketball  team. 

These  are  but  few  of  the  many  organizations  In  which  Mr.  Lof- 
ton participated.  He  has  made  a  contribution  to  almost  every  organ- 
ization on  the  campus  In  which  he  was  eligible  to  participate. 

For  his  diligence  in  work,  faithfulness  In  performance  of  duties, 
and  his  keen  responsiveness  to  the  needs  and  interest  of  others,  he 
was  named  one  of  the  men  of  the  year  for  1955. 

Mr.  Lofton  has  been  a  hard  and  faithful  worker  ever  since  he 
enrolled  at  Savannah  State  College.  If  he  keeps  up  the  good  work 
iltrt  he  graduates  In  June,  there  will  be  nothing  to  keep  him  from 
reaching  the  top  of  the  ladder  of  success.

lliis  I  Believe 

By  Louis  Hill  1'ratt,  '58 
I  believe  that  the  sun  Is  the 
center  of  our  solar  system,  and 
that  our  earth  revolves  around 
it,  I  believe,  too,  that  we,  as 
individuals  have  no  control  over 
this  phenomenal  occurrence.  We 
cannot  bring  rain,  or  light  from 
darkness,  nor  darkness  from 
light.  We  have  no  control  over 
the  seasons  or  the  years.  This 
power  is  of  a  being  not  of  this 
world. 

Furthermore,  I  believe  that 
what  a  man  is,  or  what  he  be- 
comes depends  largely  upon  the 
utilization  of  his  opportunities. 
I  believe  that  a  will  to  succeed 
can  overcome  all  obstacles  which 
might  block  the  way.  There- 
fore, a  man  Is  indebted  to  God 
for  his  success,  and  he  is  en- 
tirely at  fault  if  he  fails. 

The  human  body  is  a  very 
complex  organism.  Every  bone 
is  a  masterpiece  in  architecture, 
and  every  gland  is  a  matchless 
chemical  plant.  The  human 
heart  is  a  pump,  smaller  and 
more  powerful  than  any  man 
has  ever  constructed.  Aside  from 
this,  the  human  body  functions 
to  a  precise  degree  of  accuracy, 
with  all  of  its  parts  coordinat- 
ing. This  is  supreme  perfection. 
I  believe,  too,  that  the  earth 
is  a  place  created  by  an  Al- 
mgihty  Being  for  us  to  make 
preparations  for  a  life  hereafter. 
As  I  look  at  the  trees  swaying 
in  the  wind,  the  birds  flying  in 
the  air,  and  the  transition  of 
darkness  into  light,  I  realize 
that  there  must  be  a  power 
greater  than  all  on  earth. 


A  Student's  Prayer 

Author  Unknown 
Father    God     .    .    .    May    the 
fluorescent    lamp    be    my    burn- 
ing candle,  the  desk  my  altar. 

May   these  days  as  a  student 
become  a  stewardship  of  myself. 
May  I  give  myself  to  the  busi- 
ness of  scholarship,  becoming  a 
careful    workman    for    Thee. 

May  college  not  become  a  mere 
preparation  for  life  and  a  voca- 
tion, but  life  and  vocation  it- 
self,   meaningful    and    whole. 

Grant  that  I  may  see  as  sacri- 
fical,  my  study,  not  for  my  own 
glory,  but  to  Thy  greater  glory. 
I  would  learn  the  essential 
things  well,  I  would  desire  to 
be  of  real  service  to  the  world, 
to  see  fame  with  cool  eyes,  and 
failure  without  fear  of  reputa- 
tion. 

Recreate  me  sensitive  to  the 
great  problems  of  mankind,  to 
know  great  minds  and  invoke 
great  principles. 

Lead  me  to  treat  tasks  with 
the  courage  to  put  away  childish 
things  and  be  filled  with  great 
thoughts. 

May  the  awareness  of  debt  to 
parents,  friends,  and  society,  for 
the  cost  of  education,  make  a 
humble   human  of   me. 

Encourage  and  refresh  me 
when  I  come  to  think  of  my 
work  as  boresome,  drawn  out 
and    unproductive. 

Strengthen  me,  Father,  as  a 
faithful  student  of  Thy  word, 
to  answer  Thee,  for  Thou  hast 
called  me  into  Thy  service  as 
a  learner. 

Amen 


Message  from  the  President 


This  is  perhaps  the  last 
column  by  this  reporter, 
however,  I  wish  to  say  that 
I  have  enjoyed  every  bit  of 
three  years  that  I  have 
worked  on  the  Tiger's  Roar 
staff,  and  that  I  have  gained 
a  rich  experience  that  can- 
not he  equaled  by  any 
amount   of   money. 

It  is  the  hope  of  this  re- 
porter that  this  column  will 
be  continued. 

A  meeting  "at  the  summltt" 
consisting  of  the  Big  Four  could 
possibly  mean  an  end  to  the  hot 
war  In  Asia  and  the  cold  war 
in  Europe.  President  Eisenhower 
has  agreed  to  meet  with  the 
heads  of  state  of  the  Soviet 
Union,  Britain,  and  France  in 
the  near  future  and  plan  ways 
to  ease  world  tension.  This 
meeting  of  the  leaders  of  these 
four  nations  will  probably  pave 
the  way  for  a  meeting  of  the  Big 
Four  foreign  ministers  of  these 
same  nations.  The  discussion 
or  talks  in  the  meeting  "at  the 
summit"  will  probably  be  global 
in  nature,  which  would  include 
the  explosive  situation  in  the 
Far  East,  and  in  the  most  gen- 
eralized form.  The  foreign  min- 
isters then  would  deal  in  detail 
with  such  specific  issues  as  Ger- 
man reunification,  a  European- 
wide  security  system  and  dis- 
arrangement. 

I  am  of  the  opinion  of  Presi- 
dent Eisenhower  that  the  United 
States  in  agreeing  to  Big  Four 
talks,  "at  the  summit,"  will  not 
sacrifice  Its  own  strength  of  po- 
sition, on  major  world  issues.  I 
also  believe  that  if  the  Soviet 
Union  wants  peace  this  meet- 
ing will  serve  as  the  acid  test 
ot   their  intentions. 

West  Germany  has  become  the 
15th  member  of  the  North  At- 
lantic Treaty  Organization.  This 
marked  a  major  defeat  for  the 
Soviet  foreign  policy  and  it  also 
climaxed  a  six-year  effort  to 
enroll  the  Germans  in  the  com- 
munity of  free  peoples.  Sovereign 
West  Germany  bolstered  the 
North  Atlantic  Alliance  with  50 
million  people  and  a  commit- 
ment to  be  a  reliable  partner 
striving  for  peace  and  freedom. 

West  Germany  plans  to  field 
armed  forces  of  500.000  men 
trained  for  atomic  war.  The 
chief  power  will  rest  in  an  army 
of  12  divisions,  linked  with  the 
forces  of  six  other  NATO  mem- 
bers through  the  Western  Euro- 
pean union.  The  Germans  are 
expected  to  be  ready  for  com- 
bat by  1959. 

West  Germany's  admission  to 
NATO  has  been  assailed  by  Brit- 
ish Foreign  Secretary,  Harold 
MacMillan.  He  said  the  shiel  1 
against  aggression  that  NATO 
provides  in  being  reinforced  with 
the  practical  strength  of  the 
German  people,  "With  the  mu- 
tual confidence  and  cooperation 
that  membership  of  this  great 
alliance  implies,  we  are  closing 
a  page  of  history  with  satisfac- 
tion," he  said.  "We  begin  a  new 
one  with  hope." 

Konrad  Adenauer,  Chancellor 
of  West  Germany,  had  much  to 
say  on  West  Germany  admission 
into  NATO.  Adenauer  declared 
that  Germans  "wish  to  employ 
all  our  efforts  for  the  safeguard- 
ing of  freedom  and  human  dig- 
nity." .  .  . 

It  was  a  great  event  for  the 
79-year-old  German  leader,  per- 
haps the  crowning  achievement 
of  his  career.  He  has  worked 
for   years   to   ally   the   Germans 


It  is  interesting  to  note  how 
much  individuals,  groups,  and 
nations  are  concerned  over  the 
way  they  look  to  others.  This 
type  of  concern  is  not  limited 
to  classes  or  individuals  or  to 
the  era  or  time.  Even  those 
who  live  in  the  present  are  won- 
dering what  the  next  generation 
will  think  of  them  when  they 
have  taken  the  places  they  hold. 
That  same  Idea,  I  am  sure,  is 
present  here  at  Savannah  State 
College.  It  is  not  often,  however, 
that  individuals  are  fortunate 
enough  to  get  objective  views 
of  the  way  they  appear  to  others. 

During  the  past  four  months 
the  college  has  been  fortunate 
to  have  four  important  outside 
groups  come  to  the  college— 
three  groups  came  for  the  ex- 
press purpose  of  seeing  the  col- 
lege as  it  is.  The  other  group 
came  as  invited  guests  for  a  spe- 
cial convention.  Each  of  these 
groups  expressed  itself  on  the 
appearance  of  the  college  in 
definite  statements.  They  talked 
about  the  students  of  the  col- 
lege. It  has  been  very  reveal- 
ing to  see  how  much  agreement 
exists  in  th  rports  which  were 
made  by  the  groups  which  came 
from  entirely  different  areas  and 
for  very  different  purposes.  The 
Committee  of  the  Southern  As- 
sociation of  Colleges  and  Sec- 
ondary Schools,  made  up  of  in- 
dividuals from  outside  of  Geor- 
gia; the  Alpha  Kappa  Mu  Na- 
tional Honor  Society,  composed 
of  representatives  from  colleges 


from  sixteen  states;  the  special 
committee  appointed  by  the 
Board  of  Regents  to  study  the 
three  colleges  for  Negroes,  com- 
posed of  out-of-state  and  state 
educators,  and  the  Committee  of 
the  State  Legislature,  composed 
of  members  of  that  body,  have 
indicated  that  they  were  pleased 
to  observe  the  high  morale  and 
good  atmosphere  which  exist  at 
Savannah    State    College. 

To  appear  well-adj  usted,  to 
be  considerate  of  others,  to  de- 
sire to  be  helpful,  to  participate 
freely  in  the  life  of  the  institu- 
tion and  community,  and  to  be 
worthy  of  much  more  than  we 
now  have,  provide  a  background 
for  a  feeling  that  we  are  on  our 
way  to  better  things  at  Savan- 
nah State  College.  The  reports. 
letters,  comments,  and  verbal 
statements  commending  the  stu- 
dents of  this  institution  should 
serve  as  stimuli  for  greater  re- 
finement and  extension  of  those 
virtues.  To  know  that  one  has 
attained  some  degree  of  success 
should  be  important  in  planning 
for  continued  growth  and  de- 
velopment. Just  as  these  special 
groups  have  seen  us,  so  have, 
and  will  hundreds  of  others.  The 
student  body,  faculty,  and  others 
who  have  participated  in  the 
production  of  the  present  picture 
of  Savannah  State  College  are 
to  be  commended  for  their  in- 
dividual and  group  contribu- 
tions. It  is  my  desire  that  each 
month  will  find  us  improving 
our  patterns  of  behavior  which 
appear  full  of  promise  and  hope 

W.   K.  Payne.

Speaking  of  Books 

By   Dorothy  Davis 

Two  very  interesting  books 
have  been  chosen  for  this  month. 
They  are  Sincerely,  Willis  Wayde 
and  A  View  from  Pompey's  Head. 

Sincerely,  Willis  Wayde  by 
John  P.  Marquand,  is  a  very 
striking  novel  showing  the  deep 
devotion  and  loyalty  to  a  dear 
family. 

The  author,  John  P.  Marquand. 
has  never  written  with  greater 
understanding  or  more  penetrat- 
ing insight  into  the  cross-cur- 
rents of  American  life  than  in 
this  novel.  Sincerely,  Willis 
Wayde  is  both  entertaining  and 
an   experience   in   living. 

The  View  from  Pompey's  Head 
by  Hamilton  Basso  is  also  very 
interesting.  It  encompasses  a 
sweep  of  contemporary  society 
that  ranges  from  a  world  of  law 
to  a  detailed  examination  of  life 
in  a  small  Southern  city. 

with  the  West  and  wipe  out  the 
heritage  of  Nazism. 

"The  German  people,"  he  said, 
"have  paid  harshly  for  the  hor- 
rors which  were  committed  in 
their  name  by  blind  and  evil 
leadership.  These  sufferings 
have  transformed  and  purified 
the  German  nation.  Today 
everywhere  in  Germany  peace 
and  freedom  are  felt  to  be  the 
greatest  treasures,  as  was  the 
case  in  the  best  periods  of  her, 
history."

By  Sallie  M.  Walthour 

With  increased  fervor,  we  Del- 
tas are  constantly  climbing  up- 
ward. Nine  young  ladies  re- 
cently  withstood  the  heat  of 
the  "burning  sands"  and  were 
accepted  into  our  bonds  Our 
neophytes  are  sorors :  Dorothy 
Burnett,  Dorothy  Ree  Davis. 
Elizabeth  Jordan,  Dorothy  Lewis, 
Edith  P.  McCray.  Annie  Pearl 
Pierce,  Hilda  J.  Shaw,  Hazel  Jean 
Woods,  and  Lillie  Wright.  Our 
sisterhood  now  has  twenty-sev- 
en members.  We  welcomed  nine 
young  ladies  into  the  Pyramid 
Club.  Our  little  sisters  are: 
Dorothy  D.  Davis.  Mildred  W. 
Glover,  Annie  D.  Hardaway, 
Clara  V.  Houston,  Ethel  Mack, 
Johnnie  Mitchell,  Dorothy  Paige, 
Maudie  Powell  and  Dessie  Sim- 
mons. 

We  have  about  completed 
plans  for  our  annual  "Raggedy 
Ann"  dance.  Each  soror  is  work- 
ing hard  to  make  this  event  "the 
occasion  o  fthe  year." 

To  our  graduating  sorors:  .  .  . 
"Be  ever  mindful^  to  keep  your 
own  beacon  forever  lighted  and 
held  high  when  out  into  the 
dark  world  you  go."  Joy  mixed 
with  sadness  will  be  experienced 
by  Delta  Nu  when  eight  sorors 
leave  in  June  and  one  in  August. 
Slated  to  receive  Bachelors  of 
Science  degrees  are  sorors 
Brown,  Fortson,  Hendrix.  Holmes, 
Jordan.  Mitchell.  Reeves.  San- 
ders, and  Walthour. 

Once  more  Adieu  from  Delta

Young  Women's  Christian 
Association 

The  Young  Women's  Christian 
Association  has  entered  the  last 


month  of  activities  for  the  cur- 
rent year.  In  a  few  days  offi- 
cers will  be  elected  and  tenta- 
tive plans  will  be  made  for  next 
year's  activities.  We  have  al- 
ready selected  several  young 
women  to  assist  in  the  orienta- 
tion of  the  freshmen  next  fall. 

On  May  14.  Miss  Anne  Price 
represented  our  organization  in 
the  meeting  of  the  State  Plan- 
ning Committee  in  Atlanta.  We 
feel  quite  pleased  that  we  were 
able  to  be  a  part  of  such  big 
plans  for  the  entire  state  How- 
ever, unless  we  can  keep  our 
organization  alert  and  working, 
we  cannot  expect  to  receive  such 
opportunities  in  the  future.  So 
why  not  make  a  "New  Year's" 
resolution  that  beginning  Sep- 
tember. 1955  you  will  join  your 
Y.  W.  C.  A.?

Our  flute  choir  and  verse  speak- 
ing choir  appeared  on  each. 

Our  track  team  has  been  prac- 
ticing daily  to  represent  us  well 
at   the  annual   track  meet. 

The  whole  school,  aloni;  with 
the  P.  T.  A,  are  working  hard 
to  make  Powell  Laboratory 
School  an  even  better  school  In 
the  future. 


Powell  Laboratory  News 

The  last  two  quarters  have 
been  busy  ones  for  our  school. 
We  have  engaged  in  many  acti- 
vities in  and  out  of  the  school. 

We  participated  in  the  Jab- 
berwock  presented  by  the  Delta- 
Sigma-Theta  Sorority  and  won 
second  place.  The  theme  was, 
"Global  Cruise"  and  we  had  a 
scene  where  each  continent  was 
represented  and  people  were  able 
to  go  around  the  world  with  us 
by  listening  to  music  represent- 
ing each  continent  and  seeing 
children  costumed  according  to 
the  continent  that  they  repre- 
sented. 

We  were  on  the  Kappa  Talent 
Show  and  won  second  place. 

A  better  breakfast  campaign 
has  been  emphasized  and  the 
faculty  and  student  body  helped 
to  make  the  campaign  a  suc- 
cessful one.  Each  classroom  had 
a  bulletin  board  with  informa- 
tive, as  well  as  interesting  ma- 
terial on  a  good  breakfast  and 
what  it  means  to  growing  boys 
and  girls.  We  served  breakfast 
in  class  for  two  days  and  a  fjlm 
en   nutrition. 

During  the  Girl  Scout's  birth- 
day celebration  we  won  a  prize 
for  our  hallway  disolay  demot- 
ing the  activities  of  scouting. 

We  participated  in  the  Spring 
Festival  and  represented  Ireland 
and  five  children  did  a  dance 
called   "The  Irish  Lilt." 

We  have  had  two  radio  pro- 
grams and  one  television  show. 


Zeta  Phi  Beta  Sorority 
The  Sorors  of  Rho  Beta  Chap- 
ter of  Zeta  Phi  Beta  Sorority 
are  happy  to  welcome  Into  their 
midst  their  newest  sister.  Soror 
Mildred  Gaskin.  Soror  Gaskln 
hails  from  Valdosta.  Ga.  and  Is 
the  third  Zeta  in  her  family. 
Sorors  Elfleata  and  LaRue  Gas- 
kin,  who  are  former  members  of 
Rho  Beta,  are  her  sisters,  We 
are  also  pleased  to  welcome  our 
little  sisters,  Betty  Stephens  and 
Juanita  Houston. 

Recently  Rho  Beta  was  noti- 
fied of  a  signal  honor  paid  to 
one  of  its  members.  Sovo  Bar- 
bara Branson  is  the  very  for- 
tunate recipient  of  one-half  of

arship. The  sum  of  $500.00  has

Kappa  Alpha  Psi 

The  brothers  of  Gamma  Chi 
chapter  of  Kappa  Alpha  Psi  Fra- 
ternity are  taking  a  breath  after 
a   crusade  of  activities. 

First  of  all  we  wish  to  take 
this  opportunity  to  welcome  the 
neophyte  brothers  into  the  clan. 
Brothers  Bennie  D.  Cooley,  Earl 
Green,  William  Ladson  and  Har- 
ry Powell  are  the  most  recent 
additions  to  the  Gamma  Chi 
roster. 

Yes,  we  did  it— on  the  Friday 
night  of  April  22,  the  fourth  an- 
nual variety  show  was  presented 
in  Meldrim  Auditorium  featur- 
ing brother  Arvella  Farmer  as 
master  of  ceremonies.  The  show 
was  a  huge  success  and  enter- 
tained a  near-capacity  crowd. 
Miss  Juanita  Grayson  was 
crowned  "Miss  Kappa"  on  that 
evening.  Miss  Grayson's  efforts 
resulted  into  achieving  the  hon- 
or of  being  hailed  the  Kappa 
sweetheart.  Compliments  are 
very  much  in  order  to  this  young 
lady. 

A  reception  was  given  in  the 
College  Center  immediately  fol- 
lowing the  show.  The  contes- 
tants were  received  here  and  en- 
tertained in  good  ole  Kappa 
fashion.  Brother  Farmer  is  to 
be  complimented  for  doing  a 
wonderful  job  of  directing  these 
two  programs  simultaneously. 

As  much  as  we  regret,  some 
of  the  brothers  could  not  attend 
the  variety  show  for  they  had 
been  assigned  to  the  decorating 
committee  for  the  annual  Black 
and  White  Ball.  Brother  James 
Collier  is  responsible  for  the  suc- 
cess of  this  event.  The  entire 
plan  of  decoration  was  his  own. 
By  eleven  o'clock  the  variety 
show  was  history  and  all  the 
brothers  made  quick  changes 
and  geared  all  operations  in  this 
direction.  That  is  how  we  did 
it. 

Brother  James  O.  Thomas  suc- 
ceeds himself  as  Polemarch  of 
.Gamma  Chi  Chapter  for  the  en- 
suing school  year.  The-  pledg- 
ees have  been  placeed  in  the 
hands  of  a  new  brother.  Earl 
Green. 

Brothers   Graham,   Lurry   and 

Jackson  will  depart  from  us  by 

way  of  graduation  in  June.  We 

wish  them  the  best  of  success.

Sports  As 
I  See  It 


By   .lames  I,.  O'Neill 
A   retrospective  glance   at  the 
sports    activities    at    Savannah 
State  during  the  past  season  re- 
veals a  good  sports  year. 

The  only  dark  picture  In  the 
sports  activities  was  football. 
The  Tigers  won  one  while  drop- 
ping six.  However,  this  wasn't 
bad  in  comparison  to  last  year 
when  they  lost  all  their  games 
and  had  over  400  points  scored 
on  them  while  they  scored  only 
6  points.  This  year  Savannah 
won  one  game  and  scored  on 
everybody  they  played  except 
Alabama  State,  and  they  held 
their  opponents  to  228  points. 
The  Tigers  also  placed  three  men 
on  the  All  Conference  team.' 

In  basketball,  for  which  Sa- 
vannah is  noted,  the  Tigers  en- 
joyed another  good  season.  They 
won  23  games  and  lost  7  during 
the  year.  They  won  the  con- 
ference championship,  the  con- 
ference tournament  champion- 
ship and  the  Georgia  Inter-Col- 
legiate Tournament.  Savannah 
State  girls  won  the  conference 
and  tournament  championships. 
Three  of  the  Savannah  boys 
were  placed  on  the  All  Confer- 
ence team,  while  Otis  Brock  of 
Savannah  was  named  the  tour- 
nament's most  valuable  player. 
Gwendoly  Keith  of  Savannah 
was  named  the  most  valuable 
girl  player  of  the  tournament 
and  was  placed  on  the  All  Con- 
ference team  along  with  two  of 
her   teammates. 

For  the  second  year  in  suc- 
cession, Savannah  has  won  the 
conference  track  meet.  This  year 
the  Tigers  picked  up  53  points 
to  win  the  meet.  Paine  College 
of  Augusta  was  second  with  41 
points. 


the  shot  putt,  the  javelin  throw, 
and  in  volleyball.  His  third  place 
medal  was  given  for  the  mile 
run. 

Richard  Washington,  a  junior 
majoring  in  social  science  and 
a  member  of  the  basketball  and 
baseball  teams  proved  that  he 
po  isesses  outstanding  abilities  in 
area;;  other  than  baseball  and 
basketball.  He  won  three  first 
place  medals,  two  second  place 
medals  and  one  third  place 
medal. 

The  freshmen  and  seniors  won 
few  medals  but  they  fought 
grueling  battles  in  the  athletic 
events  in  which  they  partici- 
pated. Most  of  the  seniors  will 
be  gone  for  the  next  festival 
but  the  freshmen,  who  hope  to 
be  sophomores  next  term  ar  de- 
termined to  take  most  of  the 
first    place    medals.

view  of  seniors  taking  Lucky  break  at  commencement.  When- 
ever it's  light-up  time,  you'll  get  a  higher  degree  of  pleasure 
from  Luckies.  That's  because  Luckies  taste  better.  They  taste 
better,  first  of  all,  because  Lucky  Strike  means  fine  tobacco. 
Then  that  tobacco  is  toasted  to  taste  better.  "It's  Toasted" — 
the  famous  Lucky  Strike  process— tones  up  Luckies'  good- 
tasting  tobacco  to  make  it  taste  even  better.  Commence  to 
enjoy  better  taste  yourself— light  up  a  Lucky  Strike!

Animal  Homecoming  Parade

College." 

the  College  had  its  beginning  in 
1890  in  the  Horse  and  Buggy 
days.  A  float  depicting  this 
should  really  be  attention-get- 
ting.

completing  your  float?  Your  li- 
brary has  a  number  of  books  and 
magazines  showing  floats  from 
other  parades.  Don't  miss  being 
in  your  Parade  of  Progress. 


Participating    in    the 
will   be   the   marshall,   president 
and  others,  classes,  fraternities, 
sororities,  clubs,  marching  bands, 
floats  and  cars. 

The  homecoming  committee 
consists  of  faculty  and  student 
body  members. 

The  faculty  members  are  Mr. 
Tharpe,  chairman,  Mr.  Alexis, 
Mrs.  Fisher,  Mr.  Carter,  Miss 
Hawkins,  Mr.  Hampton,  Mr,  Ev- 
erette,  Mrs.  Hamilton,  Mr.  Scott, 
Mr.  Jackson,  Mrs.  Avery  and  Mr.

soon. 

For  further  information  con- 
tact Mr.  Frank  Tharpe,  Mr.  Wil- 
liam Weston,  Student  Council 
president,  or  any  member  of  the 
homecoming  committee. 

THE    PRANCING    MAJORETTES 

The  prancing  majorettes  twirl- 
ing their  batons  and  the  smart 
stepping  bands  striking  up  the 
tune  wil  signal  the  beginning  of 
the  Savannah  State  College 
Homecoming  parade  November 
19. 

First  in  the  Cavalcade  of  SSC 
will  come  the  floats  depicting 
the  progress  of  the  College  from 
Yesterday,  until  Today  and  even 
for  Tomorrow.  Then  will  come 
the  ones  whose  decorations  show 
only  one  era  in  the  history  of 
the  College.  One  might  well  por- 
tray the  theme  in  the  form  of 
a  huge  light  radiating  such 
things  as:  Culture,  better  citi- 
zenship, hope  for  the  future, 
character,  self-confidence,  secur- 
ity and  worthy  home  member- 
ship^— or  any  one  of  these  ideals. 
Some  might  have  living  portraits 
of  the  band,  team,  students  or 
teachers  of  yesteryear — a  sort 
of    family    album.    Don't    forget

Too  (Many  Lo;ilns 

ltv  Isaiah  Mclver 

In  the  past  thirty  years,  Amer- 
ican scientists  have  made  gigan- 
tic studies  In  almost  every  area 
In  which  they  have  undertaken. 
They  have  made  bombs  so  pow- 
erful that  they  can  destroy  cn- 
tlre  cities  with  one  blast,  and 
thoy  have  built  planes  that  have 
broken  the  sound  barriers.  Yet, 
in  spite  of  these  studies  that 
have  been  made  In  science,  the 
majority  of  the  Americans  are 
still  willing  to  let  the  other  fel- 
low do  all  of  the  fighting  for 
the  rights  and  freedoms  which 
they  enjoy. 

If  the  scientist  can  toil  untir- 
ingly to  split  the  atom,  surely 
we,  as  American  citizens,  can 
expend  some  effort  to  fight  for 
the  things  that  are  more  pre- 
cious than  inventions.  It  is  true 
that  we  arc  willing  to  accept 
the  benefits  of  our  way  of  life, 
but  we  are  seldom  found  among 
those  who  are  fighting  for  Its 
preservation. 

There  Is  also  another  group 
who  won't  fight  for  our  way  of 
life.  These  are  the  people  who 
do  not  believe  In  democracy. 
They  would  find  it  equally  easy 
to  live  under  a  dictatorship,  pro- 
vided they  were  among  the  fa- 
vored. Such  concepts  as  the 
rights  of  others,  live  and  let 
live,  and  free  speech  are  foreign 
to  their  thinking  and  represent 
weakness.  In  their  minds  these 
are  many  of  the  evils  which  be- 
set American  life.  However,  we 
are  not  addressing  ourselves  to 
these  people.  We  know  that  they 
won't  fight  for  democracy. 

The  people  to  whom  we  refer 
really  believe  In  democracy. 
They  believe  In  our  way  of  life, 
They  are  decent,  just  people. 
In  their  private  lives,  they  prac- 
tice justice,  fair  play,  equality 
and  give  the  other  fellow  all  of 
the  rights  that  they  ask  for 
themselves.  They  are  intelligent 
and  well-read.  They  "know  the 
score",  and  they  are  fully  aware 
of  what  is  happening.  They 
know  the  significance  of  men 
being  fired  without  charges. 
These  people  know  history.  They 
value  such  tilings  as  freedom  of 
speech,  the  right  to  face  their 
accusers,  the  right  of  freedom  to 
believe  in  whatever  religion  they 
choose,  or  to  believe  in  none, 
or  the  right  to  hold  whatever  po- 
litical or  other  opinions  their 
conscience  dictates.  They  know 
that  all  of  these  things  are  rela- 
tively new.  and  that  these  things 
have  not  been  enjoyed  by  man- 
kind for  scarcely  more  than  300 
years.  They  know  also  that  they 
have  been  tried  before  and  have 
been  destroyed,  and  that  thous- 
ands of  years  passed  before  they 
were  again  enjoyed  by  mankind 


Yet.  these  good  people  have 
succeeded  In  finding  reasons, 
satisfactory  to  themselves  at 
least,  for  avoiding  any  clash  with 
those  persons  or  Institutions  re- 
sponsible for  the  violation  and 
threatened  destruction  of  our 
most  basic  freedoms  and  rights. 
They  say  that  they  have  been 
"minding  their  own  business" 
and  "keeping  out  of  trouble".  If 
you  ask  them  to  support  some 
Individual  or  group  who  Is  fight- 
ing they  reply,  "I  can't  afford 
to  get  mixed  up  In  that.  I've  got 
to  think  of  my  work.  Everything 
that  I  have  been  able  to  accom- 
plish during  the  past  ten  years 
might  be  destroyed."  Do  these 
people  know  that  what  they  are 
trying  to  save  will  be  swept 
down  the  road  with  all  of  the 
other  good  things  of  our  living 
unless  we  can  hold  on  to  the 
structure  of  freedom  in  which 
our  life  has  flowered?  They 
know  that,  for  as  we  have  ob- 
served, these  people  are  well- 
read  and  "know  the  score,"  You 
find  them  in  most  any  church, 
any  school,  any  office,  or  organ- 
ization. The  truth  is  that  they 
silence  their  conscience  by  tell- 
ing themselves  that  if  they  get 
involved,  they  would  probably 
end  up  by  losing  their  jobs,  or 
office,  or  pulpit,  as  the  case  may 
be.  and  then,  they  certainly 
could  not  do  any  fighting.  This 
is  of  course  a  "dodge."  and  most 
of  us  know  it  when  they  offer  it 
as  an  excuse. 

The  results  are  that  the  fate 
of  these,  our  most,  precious 
rights,  must  stand  or  fall  by  the 
efforts  of  a  small  handful  of 
fighters  who  have  the  courage 
and  the  intelligence  to  stand  up 
and  fight.  These  few,  It  may  be 
said,  have  figured  the  percent- 
age of  what  really  counts  and 
are  playing  for  that  which 
counts.  If  history  acts  the  way 
Arnold  Toynbee  says  it  does, 
then  we  may  be  sure  that  when 
the  history  of  the  current  years 
comes  to  be  written,  it  will  re- 
cord as  one  of  the  most  import- 
ant struggles  whether  freedom 
as  we  have  come  to  enjoy  it.  was 
lost  in  this  atomic  age,  or  sur- 
vived. 

We  believe  since  mankind  has 
tasted  freedom,  he  will  never 
give  it  up.  However,  in  all  hon- 
esty, it  must  be  said  that  it  is 
only  the  few  who  have,  up  to 
now,  stood  up  and  said.  "We  will 
never  give  it  up".  It  must  in  all 
candor  be  said  that  the  fight  for 
the  rights  of  the  individual,  the 
rights  of  a  free  science,  of  free 
schools  and  institutions  of  learn- 
ing, of  beliefs,  religions,  political, 
have  been  carried  on  by  the  few 
while  the  vast  army  of  decent, 
freedom  -  loving  citizens  have 
stood  In  the  wings,  giving  them-

During  October  the  United  Na-

has  worked  for  its  alms  with 
constructive  results,  despite 
many  set-backs  and  disappoint- 
ments. The  U.  N.  has  brought 
about  peace  in  Palestine,  Indo- 
china and  even  Korea,  the  only 
place  where  troops  of  the  mem- 
ber nations  were  used  to  sup- 
press enemy  forces.  It  has  pro- 
vided food,  clothing  and  medical 
aid  through  the  specialized 
agencies  for  underprivileged  peo- 
ples. 

At  the  tenth  annual  meeting 
In  Manhattan,  the  General  As- 
sembly elected  Chile's  Jose  Maza 
as  Its  president  by  unanimous 
vote.  Maza  served  as  a  U.  N.  par- 
liamentarian for  ten  years.  The 
Assembly  voted  for  the  sixth 
year  against  considering  Red 
China  for  membership.  It  did, 
however,  adopt  President  Eisen- 
hower's Atoms  For  Peace  Pro- 
gram (proposed  in  1953)  which 
was  endorsed  by  the  Russians  at 
the  Summit  meeting. 

After  six  years  on  the  island 
of  Formosa,  the  Nationalists  un- 
der the  leadership  of  Chiang 
Kai-Shek  are  at  the  stage  of 
counter-attacking  the  Commu- 
nist-held Chian  mainland. 

The  Nationalist  leader  who  be- 
came president  in  1943  following 
the  death  of  Lin  Len  is  waiting 
for  a  revolution  on  the  mainland 
before  attacking.  It  was  report- 
ed that  millions  of  Chinese  who 
no  longer  bear  the  sufferings  of 
the  Communists  are  rising 
against  their  persecutor. 

Contradictory  to  the  Geneva 
spirit,  the  Communist  has  agreed 
to  provide  Egypt  with  war  ma- 
terials for  protection  against  her 
enemy,  the  neighboring  state  of 
Israel, 

Gamal  Aldel  Nasser,  premier  of 
Egypt,  announced  that  the  deci- 
sion to  barter  with  Czechoslo- 
vakia was  due  to  the  fact  that 
all  Western  nations  offered  Eg- 
ypt arms  after  signing  a  mutual 
security  pact  while  the  satellite 
nation  is  supposedly  only  inter- 
ested in  securing  trade. 

To  continue  this  vicious  circle. 
Israel  has  appealed  to  the  United 
States  for  armaments  and  a  se- 
curity guarantee.  Abba  Eben, 
the  Israeli  ambassador  said  no 
direct  requests  have  been  made 
at  this  time,  but  added  that  with 
the  prospect  of  Egypt  getting 
arms  from  Czechoslovakia  "we 
think  there  is  an  obligation  upon 
the  Western  powers  not  to  let 
the  balance  change  any  further 
against  Israel," 

Earlier  Secretary  of  State  John 
Foster  Dulles  proposed  a  guaran- 
tee to  maintain  the  Israel  bor- 
der against  aggression.  This 
statement  has  not  been  clarified. 
Could  this  be  a  proposal  to  send 
American  troops  to  defend  the 
borders  of  Israel?

ing out  of  it. 

Maybe  it  has  never  been  this. 
However,  if  that  is  true,  it  does 
not  make  less  disappointing  the 
silence  and  withdrawal  of  so 
many  gifted  and  fine  people 
from  this,  the  one  struggle  of  our

Message  from  the  President 

At  the  beginning  of  each  academic  year  students  in  our  colleges 
have  a  fresh  opportunity  to  plan  and  reorganize  their  educational 
programs.  For  the  returning  students  it  is  a  question  of  developing 
plans  already  underway  or  changing  plans  in  terms  of  new  informa- 
tion or  insight.  For  freshman  students  the  time  is  opportune  to  con- 
sider why  one  pursues  a  specific  program  of  study.  In  both  instances 
the  students  are  required  to  think  through  and  to  evaluate  the  cur- 
ricular  activities  selected  to  prepare  them  for  their  careers.  To  go 
through  such  a  process  students  need  to  know  many  things  about 
themselves  and  about  the  occupations  which  they  expect  to  secure. 
The  rate  of  change  and  the  supply  and  demand  in  occupations  must 
be  given  major  consideration  at  all  times.  Since  individuals  are  not 
innately  destined  to  follow  definite  occupations  and  since  one  indi- 
vidual may  be  successful  in  any  one  of  several  jobs  or  positions,  one 
should  select  a  field  in  which  there  would  be  demand  for  his  services 
as  well  as  satisfaction  for  his  living. 

{/In  our  college  for  the  past  sixty  years,  students  have  prepared, 
in  the  main,  for  positions  as  teachers.  Many  of  the  graduates  and 
former  students  have  rendered  distinguished  services  in  their  com- 
munities as  teachers  on  the  elementary  and  secondary  levels,  home 
demonstration  agents,  farm  demonstration  agents,  4-H  club  work- 
ers, teachers  of  industrial  arts,  principals,  supervisors,  and  social 
workers.  In  smaller  numbers  the  graduates  of  this  institution  have 
gone  into  medicine,  law,  dentistry,  ministry,  business,  nursing,  and 
industry.  The  changes  in  our  economy  over  the  past  sixty  years 
have  had,  until  recently,  little  effect  on  the  proportion  of  the  stu- 
dents preparing  for  the  field  of  teaching.  Information  and  facts 
indicate  that  teachers  are  being  trained  in  excess  of  the  demand 
in  our  state.  It  is  time  for  a  shift  to  other  areas  where  the  services 
of  trained  young  men  and  women  are  needed.  While  ranks  of  the 
teaching  profession  will  continue  to  be  changed  by  additions  and  re- 
placements, there  will  be  fewer  places  open  each  year.  Students 
hoping  to  find  gainful  employment  and  to  receive  adequate  compen- 
sation for  their  services  will  need  to  enter  in  larger  numbers  in- 
dustry, medicine,  law.  business,  social  work,  and  government  service 
Students  entering  college  in  the  year  1955  will  need  to  consider  what 
the  outlook  for  employment  and  services  wiJI  be  in  1958,  1960.  1970 
and  1980.  While  there  may  be  many  factors  that  are  not  definite 
at  this  time,  it  Is  now  clear  that  new  fields  must  be  cultivated.  In 
the  meantime,  study  and  consideration  must  be  given  to  the  selec- 
tion of  a  field  of  study  which  will  lead  to  available  employment  and 
well-adjusted  living.

Why  Are  You  Here? 

By  Louis  Hill  Pratt,  '58 

It  is  quite  likely  that  my  topic 
has  motivated  many  answers, 
but  just  why  are  you  here?  You 
may  say  "I  came  here  as  a  step 
to  a  medical  career,  or  that  you 
plan  to  become  a  skillful  trades- 
man, or  perhaps  a  teacher. 

We  hope  that  whatever  your 
goal  may  be,  your  purpose  here 
is  not  merely  to  secure  a  bache- 
lor's degree.  Surely  your  goal 
will  not  be  reached  if  you  only 
carry  away  a  bachelor's  certifi- 
cate— a  mere  piece  of  "paper". 
This  "paper"  takes  on  a  mean- 
ing only  when  you  possess  the 
necessary  education  to  stand  be- 
hind it;  otherwise,  it  is  worth- 
less. 

Your  prime  purpose  here 
should  be  to  better  yourself  spir- 
itually, morally  and  intellectual- 
ly Our  resourceful  faculty  and 
staff  and  our  educational  facili- 
ties are  dedicated  to  this  end. 
We  invite  you  to  take  advantage 
of  every  possible  educational  op- 
portunity. We  can  only  invite 
you — you  must  make  the  deci- 
sion. Will  you  be  one  to  utilize 
our  modern  facilities  to  the  ut- 
most, or  will  you  leave,  not  hav- 
ing benefitted  from  your  exper- 
iences here? 

Besides  coming  here  in  an  ef- 
fort toward  self  -  improvement. 
you  have  come  in  a  quest  for 


success.  Success  means  many 
different  things  to  many  differ- 
ent people.  Just  what  does  it 
mean  to  you?  Does  it  mean  to 
merely  survive,  or  does  it  mean 
to  make  a  contribution  to  our 
democratic  society?  We  should 
all  be  inspired  by  Henry  Wads- 
worth  Longfellow's  immortal 
lines: 

Lives  of  great  men  all  remind  us. 
We  can  make  our  lives  sublime, 
And  departing  leave  behind  us 
Footprints  on  the  sands  of  time. 

Happiness  is  the  crowning 
glory  of  your  purpose  here.  In 
order  to  be  happy  and  success- 
ful, it  is  necessary  to  develop  a 
set  of  sound  moral  and  ethical 
values.  One  of  man's  foremost 
problems  is  yours  also— that  of 
distinguishing  between  those 
things  which  are  worthwhile  and 
those  which  are  useless. 

To  you.  the  class  of  '59,  we 
sincerely  wish  a  happy  and  suc- 
cessful  college   career!

campus  of  S.S.C.  Since  the 
weather  is  running  the  gamut,  it 
is  very  hard  to  dress  to  the  sea- 
son but  seemingly  the  young  la- 
dies and  young  men  are  dashing 
out  in  their  cool  plaids,  stripes 
and  a  series  of  other  new  fall 
fads. 

The  fall's  top  colors  on  the 
campus  this  year  are  avocado 
green,  brown  and  charcoal  gray. 

The  latest  thing  for  the  young 
men  and  young  ladies  is  the 
striped  blouse  and  shirt.  This 
new  blouse  sensation  is  one  that 
the  petite  or  small  girl  won't  shy 
away  from.  The  latest  fad  for 
the  young  men  is  suspenders.  By 
the  way  young  ladies,  your  ward- 
robe isn't  complete  without  a 
pair  of  those  versatile  rabbit-ear 
shoes.  They  come  in  a  variety 
of  colors  to  match  your  ward- 
robe See  you  next  issue.  Bye

By  Gwendolyn  Proctor 

Hi  newcomers.  Are  you  getting

!ook  around  you.  What  do  you 
see?  Have  you  observed  the  moss 
lianging  from  the  trees  which 
helps  to  beautify  our  campus? 
Have  you  become  familiar  with 
the  buildings  that  represent 
iiigher  goals  for  each  of  us? 
Have  you  observed  the  happiness 
on  the  faces  of  the  students  as 
they  sing  their  Alma  Mater?  If 
you  haven't  noticed  these  things 
yet,  don't  forget  to  notice  them 
it  your  earliest  convenience. 
These  are  the  things  that  we 
treasure  most  and  we  hope  that 
in  time  you  too  will  learn  to  do 
so.  Always  try  to  remember  the 
■ncouraging  words  in  your  Alma

have  in  order  to  represent  a 
well-developed  person.

tional Track  Meets,  being  the 
only  Panamanian  to  win  two 
gold  medals  for  individual  per- 
formance at  the  Central  Ameri- 
can and  Caribbean  Olympic 
games  held  in  Mexico  in  1954. 

He  is  at  present  preparing  to 
take  part  in  the  cross-country 
races  which  are  currently  in  sea- 
son. Prince  is  not  ready  to  re- 
tire from  the  track,  stating  that 
he  is  still  running  because,  "It 
keeps  me  feeling  younger  than  I 
really  am." 

While  attending  Savannah 
State  College,  Prince  was  under

ROOSOVOU   Williams 

Thanksgiving  Is  n  beautiful  season,  It  is  beautiful  beeau.se  of 
the  [easting,  the  fellowship  and  the  fun  which  Is  significant  to  most 
of  us.  Amid  the  festivities,  let  us  not  forget  to  be  thankful. 

After  looking  buck  ;md  counting  the  many  blessings  and  ac- 
complishments of  the  year.  It  Is  definite  that  each  of  the  millions  of 
students  across  the  nation  has  much  for  which  to  be  thankful. 

We  should  be  thankful  for  the  love  of  God  which  Is  essential  to 
our  prosperity,  Wc  should  be  thankful  for  our  freedom,  our  tra- 
ditions, our  country,  our  parents,  our  home,  our  churches,  our 
schools  and  Cor  our  heritage.  We  should  be  especially  thankful  for 
our  teachers  who  have  devoted  their  lives  to  prepare  themselves  for 
the  profession   for  which  they  have  trained. 

1  ,i-i  ua  not  shift  away  from  the  one  reason  for  which  Thanksgiv- 
ing Is  celebrated.  If  we  are  not  careful,  we  may  find  ourselves  shift- 
ing awaj  from  the  most  Important  phase  of  Thanksgiving.  It  isn't 
hard  to  lei.  the  festive  determination  dominate  our  minds.  However, 

If  we  try  to  determine  or  realize  the  true  meaning  of  Thanksgiving, 
one  can  be  assured  that  the  real  way  to  celebrate  Thanksgiving  is 
to  give  thanks  to  God  for  the  many  things  with  which  He  has 
blessed   us. 


Tliniiksgiving  4s  A 
Holy  Day 

By    Alice    I).   Bevens 

On  calendars  of  all  people 
certain  days  have  been  set  aside 
for  .special  religious  or  secular 
observances.  The  day  of  which 
the  writer  speaks  is  Thanksgiv- 
ing Day 

Three  seasons  of  the  year 
marked  major  reasons  for  primi- 
tive people  to  set  aside  a  day 
of    thanksgiving. 

In  the  fall,  December  21.  1620, 
Pilgrims  landed  on  the  coast  of 
New  England  and  had  many 
great  sufferings  during  that  win- 
ter. In  the  spring,  fields  were 
planted  and  the  lives  of  the 
Colonists  depended  on  the  re- 
sults. When  the  grain  was  cut, 
the  harvest  was  abundant  and 
there  was  great  rejoicing.  Then, 
Governor  William  Bradford  of 
the  Plymouth  Colony,  proclaimed 
a  day  of  thanksgiving. 

After  this  harvest  had  past, 
the  other  crops  were  destroyed 
and  the  colonists  faced  starva- 
tion in  the  summer  of  1623  be- 
cause of  a  drought.  In  the  middle 
of  July,  the  governor  appointed 
a  day  for  fasting  and  prayer. 
Soon  after,  the  weather  changed, 
the  crops  were  saved  and  an- 
other day  of  thanksgiving,  July 
30,    1623,    was    acclaimed. 

Both  of  the  preceding  cele- 
brations had  a  great  influence 
in  forming  the  present  Thanks- 
giving Day.  This  is  a  day  when 
we  should  set  aside  all  other 
things,  pray  and  give  thanks  to 


God  for  the  many  blessings  He 
bas  bestowed  upon  us. 

Giving  thanks  was  not  meant 
only  for  primitive  people.  In 
some  instances,  we  may  give 
thanks  for  things  similar  to 
theirs  or  for  things  different 
from  theirs.  Whatever  it  may 
be,  there  is  no  reason  to  disre- 
gard giving  thanks  at  any  time, 
but  on  Thanksgiving  Day.  it  is 
another  or  a  special  day  for  giv- 
ing thanks. 

We  should  not  only  give 
thanks  for  the  turkey  we  eat  on 
Thanksgiving,  but  we  should  give 
thanks  for  every  possible  means 
that  help  make  everyday  life 
worth  living. 

When  President  George  Wash- 
ington issued  the  first  presiden- 
tial proclamation  in  1789  to 
honor  the  constitution,  a  day  of 
thanksgiving  was  set  aside  on 
Thursday  November  26  1789.  to 
give  thanks  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  form  of  government 
that  provided  for  safety  and 
happiness. 

President  Abraham  Lincoln  is- 
sued the  second  presidential 
proclamation  in  1864.  stating 
that  the  fourth  Thursday  in 
November  be  observed  as 
Thanksgiving  Day  every  year 
thereafter. 

Not  either  of  the  proclama- 
tions were  issued  to  give  thanks 
for  having  a  turkey  on  Thanks- 
giving. Therefore,  giving  thanks 
is  appropriate  at  all  times. 

Thanksgiving  Day  should  be  a 
Holy  Day.  because  it  has  a  re- 
ligious significance  of  great  im- 
portance in  the  lives  of  all  peo- 
ple  It  is  a  legal  holiday,  but  It

At  the  second  Geneva  meeting, 
held  only  three  months  after  the 
Head  of  State,  the  Big  Four  for- 
eign ministers  met  to  perpetuate 
the  "spirit  of  Geneva." 

Elsenhower  called  this  "the 
acid  test"  which  would  deter- 
mine whether  the  Russians' 
change  was  a  genuine  one  or  not. 
However,  the  Russians  indicated 
by  their  actions  that  they  had  no 
Intention  of  reaching  any  agree- 
ment with  the  West  at  the  sec- 
ond Geneva  meeting.  They  felt 
no  need  to  bargain  further  be- 
cause they  had  secured  most  of 
what  they  desired  at  the  first 
meeting.  When  Russia  revealed 
its  desire  for  peace,  the  West  re- 
laxed and  the  Communists  re- 
flexed  their  muscles. 

The  West  entered  the  meeting 
united  on  one  basic  proposition: 
no  European  security  pact  nor 
discussion  of  one  with  the  reuni- 
fication of  Germany.  Molotov 
said  that  "European  security" 
came  first  and  that  the  reunifi- 
cation of  Germany  was  subordi- 
nate. 

At  the  meeting,  the  West  pro- 
posed its  plan  which  had  been 
approved  by  all  the  nations  of 
NATO.  The  plan  would  give  each 
side  the  right  to  inspect  the  oth- 
er after  creating  an  armed  belt 
or  equal  depth  and  strength 
across  the  middle  of  Europe.  It 
would  establish  zones  on  both 
sides  of  the  border  between  the 
Communist  countries  to  the  East 
and  a  united  Germany. 

The  West  also  offered  to  go 
to  the  aid  of  any  pact  member 
tnon-NATOi  attacked  by  any 
pact  member  who  belongs  to 
NATO.  This  was  done  to  alle- 
viate the  fear  that  Germany 
once  reunited  might  attack  some 
neighboring  country. 

Russia  showed  its  rejection  of 
this  plan  by  announcing  its  plan 
for  the  reunification  of  Ger- 
many They  proposed  that  Ger- 
many be  united  solely  under 
Russian  rule.  By  the  action  and 
the  sale  of  arms  in  the  Middle 
East,  they  have  indicated  their 
distaste  for  a  peaceful  coexist- 
ence. 


is  also  a  Holy  Day.  Solemn  prayer 
and  sincere  thanksgiving  for  the 
blessings  of  the  year  will  make 
it  a  Holy  Day. 

There  are  other  means  of 
celebrating  for  this  Day,  but  not 
any  of  these  are  better  than 
making  the  Day  Holy. 

Some  observances  of  Thanks- 
giving Day  are  through  church 
services,  family  reunions,  din- 
iners,  home  festivals,  special 
parties  and  other  festivities.  Re- 
gardless of  which  method  of  ob- 
servance is  chosen,  be  sure  to 
keep  Thanksgiving  Day  Holy  by 
praying  to  give  thanks  to  God, 
for  all  of  His  blessings  through- 
out the  year. 

A  blessing  is  a  beneficial  gift 
that  no  man  can  measure  and 
they  are  offered  abundantly  to 
anyone  who  accepts  them  with 
an  appreciative  mind  and  sin- 
cere thanks.

Message  From  The  President 

Fortune  tening  in  some  form  has  been  found  among  many  dif- 
ferent cultures  People  everywhere  at  some  time  have  wished  to 
know  what  the  future  held  for  them.  Young  people  in  college  often 
wonder  what  they  will  be  like  ten  and  twenty  years  after  graduation. 
One  would  consider  such  information  of  great  value.  Almost  every- 
one would  be  willing  to  go  on  a  trip  to  see  any  person  prepared  to 
unroll  one's  future  in  certain  specific  areas.  Yet. -each  college  stu- 
dent has  within  his  reach  an  excellent  forecast 

Students  are  aware  that  their  futures  are  being  developed  and 
constructed  as  they  go  through  college.  Those  who  develop  many 
interests,  show  initiative,  and  take  an  active  part  in  the  college 
community  can  be  expected  to  continue  these  activitis  beyond  the 
college  halls.  There  are  many  aspects  of  growth  initiated,  discovered, 
and  developed  in  college  which  become  distinguishing  characteris- 
tics of  the  individuals  beyond  the  college  walls.  College  students 
who  really  wish  to  know  their  future  can  unlock  the  crystal  ball 
or  decipher  the  youthful  palm. 

Often  one  overhears  students  discussing  things  or  characteristics 
which  they  do  not  like  in  their  classmates,  schoolmates,  teachers, 
and  associates.  Sometimes  they  talk  about  jealousies,  dishonesty,  un- 
trustworthiness,  unreliability,  discourtesy,  narrow  mindedness,  and 
untidiness.  Again  they  may  discuss  the  positive  aspects  of  these 
characteristics  found  in  their  associates  and  contacts.  Seldom,  how- 
ever, does  it  occur  to  the  individuals  that  they  too  are  being  evalu- 
ated by  others.  If  one  wishes  to  possess  characteristics  that  would 
make  him  a  desirable  member  of  a  family,  a  church,  a  community, 
an  occupation  or  a  profession,  he  must  discover  the  characteristics 
and  seek  to  acquire  them.  Studies  show  that  often  people  possess 
in  large  proportions  the  undesirable  characteristics  which  they  dis- 
like in  others, 

Such  findings  indicate  that  one  needs  often  to  study  himself 
in  the  light  of  the  things  he  likes  and  dislikes  about  others.  To  de- 
termine the  future  one  needs  to  be  fully  acquainted  with  the  pres- 
ent. Almost  every  student  can  see  himself  in  the  near  and  distant 
future  if  he  earnestly  desires.  Once  started,  the  process  is  reveal- 
ing and  rewarding.

Book  Review 

By  George  Williams  Jr.  "57 

East  of  Eden  Is  not  a  new  book 
by  some  standards.  This  book 
was  published  In  June  of  1051. 
It  Is  not  since  It  was  published 
In  parts  In  this  week's  Collier's 
Magazine,  Readers  Digest's  con- 
densed book  club  selection  and 
Sears  Readers  club  selection. 

It  warrants  attention  at  this 
time  not  because  it  is  Steinbeck, 
but  because  Hollywood  has  come 
up  with  a  movie  version,  which 
some  proclaim  Is  better  than  the 
book. 

East  of  Eden  is  a  modern  par- 
able which  flashes  a  panoramic 
glimpse  of  the  past  100  years  of 
America.  It  Is  a  story  of  our 
march  from  East  and  West  In 
search  of  an  Eden. 

The  story  centers  on  Adam 
Trosk  who  was  appropriately 
and  Biblically  named.  He  Is  al- 
most unbelievably  blinded  by  his 
dream  of  an  earthly  paradise, 
which  he  thinks  he  has  found  in 
the  Salino  Valley  of  California. 
The  novel  encompasses  the  lives 
of  two  families  and  their  part  In 
the  movement  westward.  It  dis- 
cusses houses  of  111  repute,  sol- 
diering, and  displays  a  plentiful 
amount  of  extreme  physical  vio- 
lence. 

The  central  part  of  the  story 
is  a  discussion  of  Cain  and  Abel. 
Talkers  in  this  "dragged  out" 
discussion  are  Samuel  Hamilton 
i  perhaps  the  most  believable 
character  among  Steinbeck's 
hanging  of  unreal  portraits), 
Lee,  an  Intelligent  Chinese  who 
was  raised  as  a  prcsbyterlan,  and 
Adam.  It  is  Lee  who  makes  the 
universal  point  in  which  Stein- 
beck labors.  The  moral  is  that 
every  man  is  potentially  a  Cain 
and  that  It  Is  impossible  to  live 
without  feeling  guilty  and  In- 
adequately loved.  As  a  result 
Steinbeck  seems  to  be  saying 
that  there  is  a  choice  between 
good  and  evil  and  each  man 
finds  his  happiness  in  making 
his  choice. 

But  it  is  In  this  moral  discus- 
sion where  the  author  falls  down. 
He  draws  an  arbitrary  ethical 
line  and  places  his  characters 
either  on  goody  side,  or  the  vil- 
lainous. Cat  hey  Is  hateful,  hard 
to  understand  and  obviously  the 
evil-to-end-all-evils. 

Lee  and  Sam  Hamilton  are  do- 
gooders.  Adam  and  ills  brother 
arc  clear-cut  representatives  of 
right  and  wrong;  one  is  sensitive 
and  idealistic,  the  other  is  sadis- 
tic and  selfish. 

Out  of  the  abstract  disillu- 
sioned main  characters  he  final- 
ly finds  himself  and  the  world 
he  must  accept. 

But  there  is  too  much  talk. 
There  are  600  pages  and  the 
story  is  sprinkled  across  them — 
In  some  spots  too  spicy  and  in 
other  places  too  thin.  In  fact, 
the  author  doesn't  get  his  main 
character  into  the  Salinal  Val- 
ley until  100  pages  have  flipped 
by. 

Steinbeck  is  so  busy  having 
his  characters  placed  as  symbols 
of  good  and  evil  that  he  forgets 


to  develop  them  as  living  indi- 
viduals. Violence  occupies  a 
large  portion  of  their  action. 

I  highly  recommend  that  you 
read  East  of  Eden,  You  may,  or 
may  not  like  the  author's  mes- 
sage, but  you  will  at  least  be  cog- 
nizant of  it. 


No  Second 
Chance 

By  Wesley  Griffin 

You  walk  Into  the  classroom — 
You  are  told  by  Mr.  Peacock  at 
one  second  after  the  hour  the 
train  has  pulled  out  from  the 
station.  Dr,  Gordon  tells  you  a 
book  Is  necessary  to  complete 
the  course.  Dr.  Williams  tells 
you  critical  thinking  is  necessary 
and  that  no  guess  work  is  done 
in  his  class.  Dr  Lloyd  says,  "Eco- 
nomics Is  hard,  you'll  read,  but 
you  will  not  understand  what 
you  read.  You  will  have  to  come 
to  class  every  day  and  bring  your 
fountain  pen  with  you.  because 
you  don't  write  in  pencil  in 
here."  Dr.  Dean  says,  "It's  up  to 
you  here.  No  one  is  going  to 
make  you  study.  You  are  not  in 
high  school  anymore  and  if  you 
don't  want  to  read  this  stuff 
two  or  three  times,  you  don't 
have  any  business  here." 

But  you  insist  that  you  don't 
have  the  time  to  study.  You  will 
therefore  run  the  risk  of  bad 
grades  or  even  failure.  The  in- 
structor will  look  at  you  kindly 
but  searchlngiy  as  he  answers 
with  finality:  "It's  up  to  you!" 
As  he  smiles,  there  is  sadness  in 
his  eyes  and  a  touch  of  pathos  In 
his  voice,  for  he  knows  that  the 
best  source  of  information  is 
here  being  offered  to  you.  But 
you  must  decide  whether  to  ac- 
cept It  or  not. 

Constantly,  we  are  deciding 
whether  we  are  friends  or  ene- 
mies to  ourselves.  No  one  else 
has  that  responsibility.  Further 
than  this,  the  decisions  we  must 
make  for  ourselves  Influence  our 
total  lives. 

Mythology  has  emphasized  this 
truth.  The  city  of  Troy  finally 
taken  because  the  people  fool- 
ishly opened  their  gates  and 
pulled  within  their  walls  the 
wooden  horse  which  had  been 
constructed  by  the  Greeks  and 
into  which  soldiers  had  climbed 
and  waited  patiently  for  their 
chance.  Once  inside  the  city. 
these  armed  men  let  out  by  the 
traitor  Simon,  opened  the  gates 
of  the  city  for  their  friends  who 
had  returned  under  the  cover  of 
night.  The  Greeks  set  the  city 
on  fire.  The  people  who  had 
been  feasting,  died  by  the  sharp 
swords  of  the  infuriated  enemy, 
and  Troy  was  completely  sub- 
dued. 

To  prophesy  disaster  only  be- 
cause this  had  been  the  fate  of 
former  civilization  might  seem 
pessimistic  to  you,  but  to  many 
scholars,  it  seems  quite  possible. 
This  kind  of  collapse  happens 
not  merely  to  cities,  but  often  to 
a  whole  social  order  and  to  in- 
dividuals. Society  has  often  de- 
cayed within,  long  before  any  ex- 
ternal fall  has  been  able  to  de- 
stroy it.  Those  who  are  wise  will 
ponder  this  fact. 

Certainly,  as  individuals,  we 
see  how  sharply  this  truth  can 
be  etched  on  our  minds  and  lives, 
and  individuals  will  decide  the 
future  of  our  social  order. 

Quietude  —  taking  time  to 
think  is  what  we  need  now.  Un- 
less our  thinking  keeps  pace  with 
our  work,  we  soon  miss  the  pow- 
er we  need  for  life.  In  a  day 
when  we  are  madly  rushing  from 
one  engagement  to  another,  it  is 
imperative  to  discipline  ourselves 
with  regular  study  and  devo- 
tions, to  choose  periods  during 
the  day  when  meditation  upon 
our  chosen  profession  is  the  one 
concern 

In  George  Bernard  Shaw's  St. 
Joan.  Charles  the  King,  com- 
plaining   to    Joan    says,    "Why 


doesn't  the  voice  come  to  me? 
I  am  the  King,  not  you."  Joan 
replies:  "They  do  come  to  you 
but  you  do  not  hear  them.  But 
if  you  prayed  from  your  heart, 
and  listened  to  the  thrilling  of 
the  bells  in  the  air,  even  after 
they  stopped  ringing,  you  would 
be  able  to  hear  the  voices  as  well 
as  I  do." 

The  bells  are  ringing  now.  If 
you  stop  and  listen,  you  can  hear 
the  voices  of  knowledge,  of  un- 
derstanding, of  patience  and  of 
experience  from  those  who  are 
planted  here  at  Savannah  State 
College  to  aid  you  in  furthering 
your  education  so  that  you  might 
make  your  stand  in  life. 

But  it's  up  to  you.  The  deci- 
sion is  yours.  You  will  have  to 
decide  for  yourself.  But  remem- 
ber this — Whatever  your  decision 
might  be,  it  will  have  an  influ- 
ence on  your  total  life. 

As  Mr.  Carlyle  has  said: 

"One  life,  a  gleam  of  time  be- 
tween two  eternities;  no  second 
chance    for   us — forevermore." 


Vocational 
Planning  Hints 

By    Roosevelt    J.    Williams 

As  a  human  being  is  forced 
with  the  ever-present  problem 
of  earning  a  living,  one  should 
seek  the  best  possible  practices 
in  order  that  he  may  face  this 
task  with  the  maximum  amount 
of  effectiveness. 

Having  a  definite  occupational 
goal  will  give  you  a  running  start 
over  others  who  have  not  organ- 
ized their  plans  to  this  effect. 
By  selecting  your  vocation  early 
and  from  the  basis  of  ready- 
obtained  abilities,  skills,  and  spe- 
cial interests  you  are  able  to  set 
a  better  and  more  effective  pat- 
tern for  your  training. 

A  careful  study  of  yourself  Is 
very  necessary  in  planning  a 
successful  vocation.  The  advice 
of  Socrates,  "Know  thyself"  is 
wise  counsel,  even  today.  It  will 
help  you  to  discover  your  inter- 
ests, skills,  and  special  abilities, 
and  to  evaluate  your  personal- 
ity and  your  physical  fitness  for 
certain  jobs. 

A  careful  study  of  yourself  in- 
cludes an  examination  of  your 
whole  person  and  an  appraisal 
of  all  positive  and  negative  fac- 
tors which  relate  in  any  way  to 
vocational  success  or  failure. 
The  first  step  in  such  a  study  is 
a  search  for  evidence  of  your  in- 
terests, skills  and  special  know- 
ledge. 

To  know  your  interests,  you 
have  some  important  and  help- 
ful information  about  yourself. 
Your  school  experiences  may  aid 
you  in  sleeting  your  special  in- 
terests. A  few  questions  you 
may  ask  yourself  are  these: 

1  What  subjects  do  I  like  best? 
Why? 

2.  What  subjects  do  I  like 
least?    Why? 

3.  In  what  subjects  did  I  make 
the  highest  marks? 

4.  Are  these  the  subjects  that  I 
liked  best?    If  not,  why? 

5.  How  about  the  subjects  in 
which  I  made  the  lowest  marks? 

These  questions  should  be  an- 
swered as  definitely  as  possible 
in  order  that  you  may  achieve 
the  maximum  results  from  your 
analysis. 

If  you  analyze  your  previous 
work  experiences  you  will  dis- 
cover further  evidence  of  your 
interests.  Here  are  a  few  ques- 
tions you  may  ask  yourself  per- 
taining to  your  previous  work. 

l.What  did  I  like  most  about 
the  job?   Why? 

2.  What  did  I  like  least?  Why? 

3.  Was  there  anything  about 
the  work  itself  that  led  me  to 
quit  any  particular  job?  If  so, 
what  was  it? 

4.  Have  I  ever  worked  at  a  job 
after  hours  just  because  I  want- 


ed to?  If  so,  what  type  of  job 
was  it? 

By  asking  yourself  these  ques- 
tions concerning  the  previous 
jobs  you  have  held  will  help  you 
to  determine  your  special  inter- 
ests. Your  leisure  activities  and 
hobbies  will  also  aid  you  in  de- 
termining the  things  in  which 
you  are  particularly  interested. 

You  need  not  limit  yourself  to 
the  questions  listed  above,  but 
may  consider  any  others  that 
may  occur  to  you  or  be  of  some 
help  in  obtaining  a  sound  anal- 
ysis. Compare  the  items  you 
have  considered.  Do  they  give 
you  any  picture  of  the  kind  of 
things  you  like  to  do  most?  A 
careful  study  of  the  first  group 
of  questions  listed  above  will  de- 
termine whether  the  enthusiasm 
for  a  teacher  has  colored  your 
analysis  is  necessary  in  order  to 
decrease  the  possibilities  of  drift- 
ing into  a  vocation  in  which  you 
will  be  unhappy. 

When  you  have  found  the 
point  at  which  your  abilities, 
skills,  and  special  interests  coin- 
cide, you  have  a  powerful  com- 
bination for  success. 


College  Goals 


An  Values 


Reubin  Cooper 

It  is  my  firm  belief  and  con- 
viction at  this  time  that  thous- 
ands of  students  enroll  in  Col- 
lege every  year  without  consid- 
ering the  significance  of  the 
fact. 

I  take  the  time  here  to  not 
only  invite,  but  admonish  all 
new  College  students  to  discuss 
briefly  some  important  facts  to 
consider  in  their  quest  for  know- 
ledge and  a  better  understanding 
of  the  world  in  which  we  live. 
This  year,  as  previous  years, 
young  men  and  women  are 
flocking  to  our  colleges  in  large 
numbers.  Their  motives  and 
reasons  for  going  are  probably 
to  be  with  high  school  classmates 
for  some,  and  others  a  desire  to 
elevate  themselves  by  learning 
more  in  order  to  make  better 
citizens,  better  homes,  better 
churches,  better  communities. 
and  therefore  a  higher  society. 
I  venture  to  say  that  probably 
half  of  the  high  school  graduates 
who  go  to  college  at  the  time  of 
entrance,  have  any  reasons  at  all 
for  going  and  have  not  set  any 
goal  in  life  to  reach. 

I  think  before  entrance  to  col- 
lege one  must  consider  the  pur- 
pose of  college  and  what  he  ex- 
pects to  accomplish  by  going  to 
college,  or  does  he  have  to  go  to 
college  to  be  successful  in  the  vo- 
cation of  his  choice. 

Therefore  the  question  comes 
to  mind,  What  college  should  I 
go  to  or,  What  shall  I  choose? 
More  important  should  be  the 
question,  What  work  am  I  best 
suited  for  and  what  are  my  cap- 
abilities? Why  do  I  want  to 
spend  five  long  years  incollege? 
What  can  I  expect  to  receive 
from  my  college  experince?  No 
single  answer  can  be  given  to 
this  question  for  all  individuals. 
One  must  seek  his  own  answer 
within  himself  in  vision  of  his 
life  values. 

In  order  to  be  successful  in 
college  and  to  receive  the  most 
value  from  college  training,  one 
must  have  a  life  objective.  For 
one  who  goes  to  college  without 
an  objective  in  life  to  work  to- 
ward, most  likely  finds  himself 
making  poor  grades  and  eventu- 
ally going  back  home  a  failure. 
He  fails,  not  because  he  never 
knew  what  he  came  to  college 
for  in  the  first  place.  We  very 
easily  get  discouraged  if  there  is 
no  goal  for  which  we  strive  to 
reach,  and  there  will  be  a  lack 
of  effort  and  interest  in  doing 
college  work.  To  set  a  goal  for  a 
college  career  gives  one  the  need- 
ed incentive  and  interest  to

Senior  Women 
Privileges  Being  Revised 

BOULDER,  COLO.  —  (LP.)  — 
Senior  women  at  the  University 
of  Colorado  will  be  free  to  stay 
out  as  late  as  they  wish  this 
year,  according  to  an  announce- 
ment by  Dean  of  Women  Mary- 
Ethel  Ball.  The  proposal  has 
been  approved  by  the  Board  of 
Regents,  the  University  Execu- 
tive Committee  and  President 
Ward  Darley. 

Under  the  plan,  door  keys  will 
be  given  to  each  senior,  the  cost 
being  absorbed  by  a  key  deposit. 
Seniors  would  be  required  to 
sign  out  of  their  residence  when 
they  intend  to  be  out  beyond  the 
regular  closing  hours  or  over- 
night. Falsification  on  signout 
slips  or  abuse  of  the  key  privilege 
would  be  subject  to  severe  pen- 
alty. Persons  supervising  the 
program  would  reserve  the  right 
to  check  signout  information  at 
any  time. 

The  dean's  office  believes  sen- 
ior girls  are  mature  enough  to 
be  trusted  with  the  new  privilege. 
It  was  pointed  out  that  the  plan 
will  be  evaluated  each  year  and 
that  the  Associated  Women  Stu- 
dents organization  is  free  to  re- 
voke it  each  year.

tttdy  to  i.nn  the  things  ho 
knows  he  must  learn  in  order  to 
reach  the  goal  that  he  expects 
to  reach  in  life. 

If  we  are  some  of  the  fortu- 
nate few  who  graduate  from  col- 
lege, regardless  to  what  work  we 
have  chosen,  or  what  field  of 
profession  we  go  into,  we  will  be 
looked  upon  as  leaders  In  the 
community  in  which  we  live.  We 
will  be  expected  to  have  an  an- 
swer to  many  of  the  questions  of 
life.  We  must  therefore  find 
pleasure  in  learning  and  con- 
stantly practice  what  we  learn. 

There  are  young  men  and  wo- 
men who  go  to  college  making 
the  sad  mistake  of  thinking  that 
college  will  make  a  new  man  or 
woman  of  them.  They  form  the 
wrong  concept  of  college  and  un- 
less soon  corrected  they  will 
find  that  they  wait  In  vain  for 
college  to  do  for  them  what  they 
need  to  do  for  themselves.  With 
this  conception  of  college,  one's 
time  and  money  spent  in  college 
will  have  profited  him  nothing. 

Everyone  shouldn't  go  to  col- 
lege. Unfortunately,  there's 
some  who  are  unable  to  attend 
college  because  of  financial  rea- 
sons, but  there  are  precious  few 
who  do  not  have  the  mental 
ability  to  do  average  college 
work,  once  they  have  finished 
high  school,  if  they  find  the  Col- 
lege work  best  suits  their  needs. 
For  those  who  go  to  college  with- 
out a  sound  and  definite  goal  to 


reach,  if  by  some  means  they 
stay  to  graduate,  they  will  find 
that  going  to  college  was  only 
time  and  effort  thrown  away. 
Their  college  career  meant  noth- 
ing and  the  time  ond  money 
spent  in  college  was  an  extrava- 
gant waste. 

In  order  to  be  successful  and 
receive  the  most  value  from  a 
college  career,  one  must  have  a 
definite  goal  for  life,  and  in- 
stead of  waiting  for  college  to 
make  ;i  new  man  of  him  study 
to  learn  and  elevate  himself  and 
by  so  doing  he  shall  find  pleas- 
ure In  working  toward  a  worth- 
while goal. 


S.S.C.  Presents 
Pearl  Primus      ^ 
Gwendolyn  C.  Proetor 

The  Lyceum  Committee  of  Sa- 
vannah stale  College  presented 
Pearl  Primus  and  Company  on 
Thursday,  November  L0  at  8:15 
p.m.,  as  the  first  attraction  of 
the  1055  Lyceum  Series, 

Out  of  the  vast  storehouse  of 

knowledge  and  experience,  Miss 
Primus  used  her  powerful  Imag- 
ination to  create  the  most  dy- 
namic and  artistic  dance  presen- 
tation. The  program  was  based 
upon  elaborate  ceremonies  of  the 
Jungle,  the  little-known  ritual 
dunces  of  Melanesia,  the  fascin- 
ating legends  and  Calypso  of 
Hie  Caribbean,  and  the  soul- 
stlrrlng  spirituals  and  Jazz  of  our 
United  States. 

"Shango"  featured  Miss  Prim- 
us In  all  the  dramatic  vitality  of 


her  technique.  Portraying  the 
ancient  Yoruba,  God  of  Thunder 
and  Lightning,  she  seemed  to 
emerge  from  nowhere  to  chal- 
lenge the  present  and  the  future 
with  the  power  of  the  past.  She 
spread  the  rhythms  of  her  Shan- 
go drummers  like  an  enchanted 
carpet  beneath  her  feet  and  for 
her  the  ground  does  not  exist. 

The  auditorium  was  filled  to 
its  capacity. 

With  a  supporting  cast  of  top- 
notch  dancers,  musicians  and 
singers,  this  company  has  suc- 
ceeded  in  presenting  on  stage 
an  artistic  triumph  in  dance. 

This  attraction  was  held  in 
Meldiim  Auditorium  and  was 
open  to  the  public  without 
charge.

THE  TIGER'S  ROAK 


November.  1955 


Albany  Tops  S.S.C. 


Albany  statu  College's  football 
team  Invaded  Savannah  State 
College's  athletic  field  proudly 
proclaiming  the  distinction  of 
being  Georgia's  only  undefeated 
college  eleven.  After  60  minutes 
of  buttling  the  Visitors  left  the 
glrdiron  with  fame  untarnished 
and  a  23  to  0  victory. 

The  team  from  Dougherty 
County  lived  up  to  the  name  of 
Rams  for  they  battered  the  luck: 
less  Tigers  into  submission  after 
the  Savannahians  gave  the  Rams 
a  real  scare  In  the  third  period. 


James,  Quarterback 
For  Tigers 

Roland  James,  a  freshman 
majoring  In  Physical  Education 
and  minorlng  in  Business  Edu- 
cation, Is  one  of  the  regular 
quarterbacks  for  the  Savannah 
State  Tigers,  who  sees  action  in 

most  of  the  games  that  the  Tig 

ers  play.  Ho  has  proven  that  he 
is  quite  capable  of  handling  the 
key  position  by  his  performances 
in  the  first  throe  games  that  the 
Tigers  have  played.  In  the  Flor- 
ida Normal  game,  he  scored  one 
touchdown  and  passed  for  an- 
other, He  has  also  been  one  Of 
the  main  reasons  why  the  Tigers 
have  been  playing  like  cham- 
pions. 

While  ho  was  playing  at  Wood- 
ville  High  School  last  season,  he 
was  the  first  string  quarterback. 

HIS  ability  to  elude  his  oppon- 
ent:; was  one  of  the  reasons  why 
the  Woodvllle  boys  were  city 
champions  last  season. 

Upon  graduation  from  SSC  he

ter than  last  year's.  Dancing

everyone's  enjoyment. 

The  foods  classes  made  pies, 
cakes,  and  cup-cakes,  fried  fish, 
chicken  (barbecue),  rolls, 
cookies,  ribs,  coffee,  slaw,  potato 
salad  and  hot  dogs  which  were 
sold. 

On  sale  and  display  from  the 
clothing  area  wa;  a  variety  of 
beautiful  aprons,  shoe-bags  of  all 
sizes,  place  mat  sets,  toaster  and 
mixer  covers,  cosmetics  capes, 
and  laundry  bags. 

A  new  and  adventurous  addi- 
tion was  added  to  the  Bazaar; 
Items  were  raffled  off  such  as 
cakes,  chickens,  hams  and  five 
gallons  of  gasoline. 

The  proceeds  from  the  sales 
are  to  go  into  the  club's  treasury, 
and  to  send  a  student  represent- 
ative to  the  meeting  of  the

Peace  On  Earth,  Good  W  ill  To    ill  Men 


Creative  Tributes 


By  Louis  Hill  Pratt,  '58 

one  thousand  nine  hundred 
and  fifty-five  years  ago,  the  cur- 
rently well-known  Bible  passage 
"Peace  on  earth,  good  will  to  all 
men"  originated. 

In  those  days,  men  respected 
this  Idea.  They  felt  that  the  love 
Of  God  and  Ills  son,  Jesus,  should 
be  spread  throughout  the  entire 
earth,  They  knew  that  this  wns 
the  only  way  to  have  peace  and 
gOOCl  will  to  all  men. 

Let  us  go  back  to  the  time  of 
the  origination  of  these  famous 
words,  Universal  understanding 
and  knowledge  were  low,  in  com- 

pai'lson      to     our      present      day 

achievements, 

The  nuld,  frankincense  and 
myrrh-bearing  shepherds  were 
illiterate  men.  They  knew  only 
the  love  of  God  and  the  good- 
will of  their  fellow  men  These 
men  used  their  knowledge  to 
spread  peace  and  goodwill.  Sure- 
ly they  gained  favor  in  the  sight 
of  God. 

Bui  what  has  happened  to  the 
peace  and  goodwill  of  old?  What 
has  become  of  the  love  of  God 
which  manifested  Itself  in  the 
humble  shepherds  who  brought 
their  gifts  to  the  Christ-Child? 

The  truth  of  the  matter  is  that 
increased  knowledge  has  so 
modified  our  society  that  we 
cannot  realize  our  dependence 
upon  Almighty  God. 


We  cannot  practice  good-will 
toward  our  neighbors  because  we 
are  too  busy  segregating  and 
discriminating  against,  our  fel- 
low-men  in  our  selfish  quest  for 

the  recognition  of  society. 

"Peace  on  earth,  good-will  to 
all  men"  lias  been  challenged.  It 
even  has  been  changed!  This  Is 
entirely  too  broad  in  our  present 
day  I  The  advocation  now  is 
"Peace  on  earth  after  the  fulfill- 
ment Of  my  own  selfish  desires 
and  pence  to  all  men  of  good- 
will, If  they  are  of  0  particular 
race,  creed  or  color." 

With  this  In  mind,  we  have 
not  retained  the  true  feeling  of 
this  idea.  We  repeat  the  words 
at  this  season  of  the  year;  yet 
they  are  only  words.  We  don't 
realize  and  appreciate  the  true 
meaning  of  them, 

We  should  stop  for  a  moment 
from  our  busy  schedules,  to, think 
on  this  idea.  Then,  we  would 
find  no  time  to  segregate — none 
to  discriminate  against  our  fel- 
low men.  We  would  find  war  and 
bloodshed  out  of  place  in  our 
modern  society,  and  our  world 
of  today  would  be  one  of  uni- 
versal understanding  and  last- 
ing peace  and  good-will  to  all. 

Sincere  wishes  for  a  most  hap- 
py and  enjoyable  Yuletide  Sea- 
son to  all  members  of  the  SA- 
VANNAH STATE  COLLEGE 
FAMILY,  along  with  hopes  for  a 
prosperous  nineteen  hundred 
and  fifty-six.

The  Things  Love  Is 

Oh,  love  Is  such  a  funny  thing, 
It  makes  you   laugh,  shout  and 

.sing. 
The  hour  It  comes   your  cares 

and  troubles 

i    like  bubbles 
Oh,  love  is  such  a  common  thing. 
The  beggar  man,  the  proudest 

king, 
Fall  into  love's  sweet  magic  sway 
And   beg  to  stay. 
Oh,  love  Is  such  a  magic  thing, 
Your   very   heart   and   soul   take 

wing, 
You  rise  and  soar  on  clouds  of 

bliss 

At  every  kiSS. 

And  love's  a  fragile,  sacred  thing, 
So  let  it,  to  your  bosom  cling. 
Heaven's  below  and  not  above, 
When  you're  in  love.

Message  from  the  President 


Because  of  Him 

Because  he  lived  so  long  ago 
And  made  so  straight  the  way; 
Because  of  that,  and  only  that 
Is  why  I  live  today. 
Because  God  was  so  generous 
In  giving  liis  son  to  be 
Mocked,  hanged,  and  despised 

of  men 
That  we  too  might  be  free. 
Because  Christ  was  born  of  Mary 
So  humbly  at  the  Inn 
Not  in  rich  attire  but  of  low 

estate 
That  the  poor  too   might  know 

him. 
Because  he  disputed  lawyers  and 

doctors 
When  he  was  only  twelve  years 

old 
Who  thought  they  had  the 

"Know  how" 
But  couldn't  cure  a  sin-sick  soul, 
yes  Jesus  lived  long  ago 
And  today  he  is  living  still 
He  lives  within  the  hearts  of 

those 
Who  obey  him  and  keep  his  will.

This  is  an  age  in  which  men 
seldom  sit  in  conference  and  ac- 
complish a  peaceful  settlement 
or  come  to  an  agreement  that 
would  be  in  accord  with  the  ma- 
jority of  the  peoples  involved. 
Rather  than  to  enter  these  con- 
ferences with  open  minds,  more 
than  often  the  conferees  enter 
into  conferences  with  set  opin- 
ions, and  prepared  statement  to 
demand  rather  than  ask.  They 
seem  unwilling  to  respect  the 
rights  and  opinions  of  others  and 
ofttimes  are  not  expressing  the 
desire  of  the  nation's  people. 

A  most  glaring  example  of  this 
is  the  more  recent  Geneva  con- 
ference. Both  the  East  and  the 
West  had  prepared  agendas  that 
did  not  agree  on  one  single  point. 
The  West  refused  to  give  in  to 
the  East  and  the  East  meanwhile 
rather  than  attempt  a  compro- 
mise gave  its  plan  for  a  unified 
Germany,  disarmament,  and  im- 
provement of  East  and  Western 
relationship.  As  a  result  nothing 
was  accomplished. 

However,  at  a  later  meeting 
Molotov  and  Dulles  agreed  on 
the  admission  of  seventeen  na- 
tions to  the  United  Nations,  four 
of  which  are  Communist.  This 
agreement  in  which  Britain  and 
France    concurred    would    break 


A  few  years  ago  psychologists 
and  students  of  human  behavior 
were  searching  to  find  how  early 
Individuals  began  certain  activi- 
ties. In  studies  of  Infants  and 
early  childhood,  they  found  that 
most  of  the  basic  behavier  proc- 
esses existed  or  could  be  easily 
acquired.  There  is  no  longer  any 
question  concerning  the  thinking 
abilities  of  children  and  adoles- 
cents. Just  as  those  studies  have 
thrown  light  on  thinking  so 
other  studies  have  indicated  that 
characteristics  of  good  citizens 
appear  early  in  life  and  show 
progressive  development  as  one 
exercises  them. 

In  our  colleges  there  are  sev- 
eral million  young  men  and  wom- 
en who  are  developing  citizen- 
ship qualities.  In  some  colleges 
much  growth  takes  place  in  this 
area  because  the  students  par- 
ticipate in  the  major  community 
activities,  and  they  exercise  gov- 
ernmental functions  necessary 
to  provide  for  the  welfare  of  the 
school  community.  The  student 
body  arranges  to  set  up  regula- 


tions which  will  promote  the 
welfare  of  students  and  the  in- 
stitution. Provision  is  also  made 
for  the  collection  of  funds  which 
will  be  needed  to  support  the 
activities  desired.  In  addition, 
provision  is  made  for  participa- 
tion in  the  drives  and  campaigns 
for  funds  sponsored  by  organi- 
zations like  the  American  Red 
Cross,  American  Cancer  Society, 
Polio  Drive,  American  Heart  As- 
sociation. World  Student  Fund, 
Tuberculosis  Association,  and  the 
local  community  chest.  It  is  de- 
sirable that  students  should 
contribute  directly  from  their 
own  resources  some  money  to- 
ward the  running  of  the  institu- 
tions that  this  aspect  of  partici- 
pation, when  started  in  elemen- 
tary and  high  school,  can  reach 
near  adult  proportions  by  the 
time  the  student  reaches  college. 
Every  student  should  evaluate 
his  education  in  terms  of  citizen- 
ship objectives  as  well  as  in  re- 
gard to  academic  goals.

a  nine-year  deadlock  and  in- 
crease the  United  Nations  mem- 
bership to  seventy-seven, 

Around  the  world  today  we 
find  a  perpetual  state  of  con- 
fusion and  high  tension.  Almost 
anywhere,  at  anytime  it  is  likely 
that  the  fuse  to  the  highly 
charged  powder  keg  be  lit. 

In  the  Middle  East  Egypt  and 
Israel  continue  to  clash  over  the 
Gaza  strip.  The  Communists 
have  been  shipping  tanks,  jets 
and  submarines  to  Egypt.  In  or- 
der to  protect  itself,  Israel  has 
appealed  to  the  United  States 
for  armament  to  maintain  the 
balance  of  power.  The  United 
States  has  refused  to  contribute 
support  to  what  appears  an  arms 
race.  However  the  United  States 
and  Great  Britain  have  formal- 
ly warned  the  two  nations  that 
they  would  support  and  join 
the  attacked  nation  in  what 
might  be  a  preventive  war. 

For  the  twenty-first  time  since 
France's  liberation,  the  govern- 
ment has  been  overthrown.  This 
achieved  the  desire  of  Premier 
Faure  to  hold  an  early  election 
for  a  new  National  Assembly.  A 
measure  introduced  earlier  into 
the  assembly  to  hold  a  new  elec- 
tion at  an  early  date  was  de-

majority  of  the  Assembly  voted 
to  overthrow  Faure's  Cabinet,  ac-

Honors  Day 

During  the  past  school  year  of 
1954-55  twenty-seven  students  of 
Savannah  State  College  have 
used  their  time  wisely  to  the  best 
of  their  abilities  and  by  doing 
so,  have  been  able  to  earn  an 
average  of  "B"  or  higher  during 
the  three  quarters. 

These  twenty-seven  students 
were  given  special  recognition 
during  an  Honors  Day  program 
which  was  held  on  Thursday, 
December  8  at  12  o'clock  noon, 
in  Meldrim  Auditorium.  Dr.  Ma- 
rian R.  Myles.  head  of  the  Biolo- 
gy Department  at  Fort  Valley 
State  College,  was  guest  speaker. 

Two  students  who  had  excelled 
in  biology,  chemistry  and  math- 
ematics received  membership  in- 
to Beta  Kappa  Chi,  National 
Honorary  Scientific  Society. 
They  earned  a  minimum  of  26 
hours  in  one  field  of  Science 
with  a  2.00  average  or  above, 
and  had  maintained  a  2.00  aver- 
age or  above  in  all  other  courses. 

Our  hats  are  off  to  you  who 
were  honored.  We  are  hoping 
that  you  will  be  even  more  suc- 
cessful this  term  and  that  many 
of  the  other  students  will  get 
hold  of  themselves  and  start  ex- 
ploring the  various  areas  of 
knowledge  and  using  their  pre- 
cious hours  to  their  advantage.

In  HtmiecoiiiinjiTie 

The  Savannah  State  Tigers 
took  complete  charge  to  hand 
the  Claflin  Panthers  a  19-6  de- 
feat before  hundreds  of  Alumni 
and  Students  at  the  Annual 
Homecoming  game  which  was 
played  on  the  Athletic  Field  at 
Savannah  State  College- 
Savannah  State  scored  touch- 
downs in  the  first,  second  and 
third  quarters.  Charles  Cozart 
scored  the  first  touchdown,  Ro- 
land James  raced  95  yards  for 
the  second,  and  Willie  Batchelor 
scored  the  third. 

Charles  Cameron  recovered  a 
Claflin  fumble  on  the  Panther's 
45  yard  line  and  Charles  Cozart 
passed  to  halfback  Joseph  Rey- 
nolds for  30  yards.  On  the  next 
play,  Charles  Cozart  raced 
around  left  end  for  the  TD.  The 
kick  for  the  extra  point  was 
blocked. 

In  the  second  quarter,  Roland 
James  showed  the  spectators 
that  he  could  call  plays  AND 
run  the  ball.  After  Claflin 
threatened  to  score  in  the  second 
quarter  by  four  successive  drives 
which  gave  Claflin  possession  of 
the  ball  on  the  Tigers'  15  yard 
line,  James  intercepted  a  pass 
from  QB  Frank  Lowery  and 
raced  95  yards  for  Savannah 
State's  second  TD.  The  try  for 
the  extra  point  failed. 

Halfbacks  Joseph  Reynolds, 
Willie  Batchelor,  Charles  Cozart, 
ind  Moses  King  drove  to  the 
Panther's  15  yard  line  after  re- 
ceiving a  kick  from  the  Pan- 
thers. Batchelor  then  took  a 
liandoff  from  QB  James  and 
drove  into  the  end  zone  for  the 
Tigers'  third  TD. 

Claflin  scored  its  only  touch- 
down in  the  final  minutes  of  the 
fourth  quarter.  The  touchdown 
came  after  Claflin's  end  Robert 
Hubbard  blocked  a  Moses  kick 
on  Savannah  State's  22  yard 
line.  Frank  Lowery  passed  to 
Joseph  Washington  on  the  Ti- 
mers' 12  yard  line.  Panther  QB 
Lowery  passed  again  in  the  end 
.one  for  the  TD.  The  kick  for 
the  extra  point  was  blocked.

Where  Does  the  Time  Go? 
A  study  recently  completed  by 
the  Department  of  Student  Life 
at  Douglass  College  gave  the  an- 
swer to  how  students  spend  their 
time.  It  was  estimated  that  the 
"average  undergraduate  devotes 
a  forty  hour  week  to  academic 
pursuits,  including  sixteen  hours, 
forty  minutes  in  attending  class- 
es and  twenty-six  hours,  twenty- 
two  minutes  in  class  prepara-

Pointers  To 

Gift-Givers 

James  l\  Melver 

Well,  guys  and  dolls.  Christmas 
is  just  a  few  days  away  i  assume 
that  the  major  thought  which 
is  pacing  through  your  minds  is 
"What  am  I  going  to  give  (hat 
dream'  of  mine  as  a  Christmas 
gift?" 

Among  the  many  gifts  that 
may  be  exchanged  are:  books, 
musical  recordings,  candy,  flow 
ers,  pens,  stationery,  photos,  et 
cetera.  An  embarasslng  situation 
will  occur  if  you  distribute  the 
same  photo  of  yourself  to  friends 
of  your  loved  one. 

Gifts  for  members  of  the  fam- 
ily should  be  presented  infor- 
mally. One  should  have  little  or 
no  trouble  deciding  what  type  oJ 
gifts  to  purchase  for  members  of 
the  family,  especially  If  you  have 
spent  most  of  your  life  with 
them. 

When  you  receive  a  gift  in  a 
person-to-person  manner,  one 
should  not  hesitate  to  open  tin 
gift  Immediately,  and  show  warm 
and  sincere  expressions  of  appre- 
ciation and  thanks. 

If  it  is  sent  by  mail,  one  or 
two  days  after  receiving  a  gift, 
one  should  send  the  donor  a 
letter  of  thanks. 

The  true  spirit  of  giving  rcnlly 
should  be,  "To  bestow  freely 
without  hope  of  a  return."  I  as- 
sume that  it  is  inevitable  for 
anyone  not  to  give  at  least  one 
gift  to  someone  for  Christinas. 
Remember  the  saying,  "It  Is  bet- 
ter to  give  than  to  receive,"  and 
make  your  Christmas  a  signifi- 
cant and  an  enjoyable  one.

ly  lit-  ran  this  bit  about  alumni; 
A  great,  deal  of  alumni  enthu

SUCh  alumni  are  "not  really  loyal 
tO  their  alma  main"   hut   simply 

want  a  winning  tram  to  bolster 
their  egos.  All  this  "pressure"  la- 
says,  Is  "a  bleak  reflection  of 
the  kind  of  education  they  re 
ceived  there,  since  the  hlghcsl 
[unction  ot  education  is  to  instill 

a    .sense    of    value    Into    Students

Fashions 

The  Fashions  that  are  being 
worn  on  the  campus  both  by  the 
young  men  and  the  young  wom- 
en are  very  charming. 

In  this  issue  I  am  going  to 
give  the  young  men  and  the 
young  ladies  a  few  high  points 
that  will  aid  them  in  perfecting 
their  dress  for  formal  and  semi- 
formal  affairs.  For  dances,  the 
Following  styles  are  very  appro- 
priate: the  beautiful  ballarina 
length  gowns,  the  low-cut  dress- 
es with  the  V  or  the  U,  and  long 
party  dresses  with  the  square 
necklines. 

Now,  to  the  young  men,  your 

charcoal  black,  gray  and  brown 
plus  the  other  shades  with  ac- 
cessories to  match  are  real  gone 
I  tils  season. 

The  young  ladies  are  wearing 
Bermudas  with  suspenders  and 
sox  to  match  when  they  step  out 
In  their  sports  outfits. 

Here  are  some  glamor  tips  for 
the  young  ladies: 

1.  Select  clothes  that  will 
bring  out  the  shade  of  your  eyes. 

2.  Get  out  of  the  habit  of 
walking  with  your  head  down. 

3  Always  wear  a  smile  be- 
cause it  brings  out  your  charm 
and  beauty. 

4.  Don't  wear  bright  red  fin- 
ger nail  polish  on  your  dates. 
The  natural  shade  is  preferred. 

5.  If  you  smoke,  use  nicotine 
remover  to  remove  nicotine 
stains  from  your  fingers. 

6.  If  you  have  halitosis,  get 
some  type  of  drug  which  is 
recommended  for  unpleasant 
breath. 

I  am  sure  that  all  of  the  young 
men  and  the  young  ladies  are 
going  to  be  very  courteous  and 
kind  toward  their  fellowmen. 
This  is  the  prerequisite  to  being 
popular  and  charming.  So  long 
now  until  January. 


CAMPUS  4-H  CLUB 

The  Campus  4-H  Club  was  or-

the  clothing  project,  and  have 
made  most  of  their  wearing  ap- 
parel too,  they  have  earned 
money  by  sewing  for  others, 

Mr    Whitley   from   the  Tuber-

and  out  would  come  a  slip  show-

[hat  smokes  milder,  smokes  smoother,  draws  easier. ..and  it's 
the  only  filter  cigarette  with  a  genuine  cork  tip.

placed  on  the  "rah,  rah"  side  of 
collegiate  life  drew  this  sarcas- 
tlc  bit  of  writing  from  Sam 
Chapman,  columnist  for  West 
Virginia  University's  Dally  Ath- 
enaeum: 

"What  do  most  people  go  to 
college  for  In  the  first  place? 
Four  years  of  "college  life"  of 
course,  and  the  old  "rah,  rah, 
rah!"  Some  students  want  to 
learn  a  little  something  on  the 
side,  but  this  is  only  secondary. 
With  this  in  mind,  it  seems  quite 
logical  that  observance  of  fresh- 
man rules  should  play  a  large 
part  in  participation  in  honor- 
aries.  Someone  who  misses  pep 
rallies  for  such  a  silly  reason  as 
studying  for  an  exam,  someone 
who  neglects  to  wear  a  beanie, 
or  someone  who  doesn't  happen 
to  like  football,  should  by  all 
means  be  excluded  from  honor- 
arles.  We  should  honor  those 
who  quote  the  "Alma  Mater" 
and  "We  Want  a  Touchdown" 
to  enthusiastic  perfection. 

ft  is  time  for  the  old  fogies  to 
realize  that  this  is  not  an  age  of 
books  and  learning.  This  is  the 
age  of  mass  production  sports 
and  enforced  freshman  rules.

rating  by  the  Associated  Colle-

been  rated  among  the  country's 
top  yearbooks. 


Cuspidors,  Anyone? 

There  are  all  kinds  and  shapes 
of  athletic  contests,  but  it  looks 
as  if  the  East  Texas  State  Teach- 
ers has  come  up  with  one  to  top 
them  all.  They've  got  a  junior 
down  there  named  John  Chapel, 
who  for  two  consecutive  years 
has  won  tobacco  spitting  con- 
tests. 

John  won  the  contest  two 
years  ago  by  expelling  a  stream 
of  juice  23  feet.  A  year  later  he 
defended  his  title  with  a  spat  of 
21  feet,  3  inches.  The  loss  of  dis- 
tance the  second  time  was  due  to 
a  strong  wind. 

Now  he's  going  after  the  title 
for  the  third  year  in  a  row.  This 
is  the  sort  of  thing  the  Ameri- 
can Tobacco  company  might  get 
hold  of  and  really  exploit.

Teachers  Exam. 
Offered  Students 

According  to  an  announce- 
ment by  Dr.  Thomas  Brooks,  Di- 
rector of  Student  Personnel  ser- 
vice, the  prospective  teachers  of

National  Teacher  Examinations 
on  February  11.  Dr.  Brooks  will 
supervise  the  administration  of 
the  tests. 

Scores  on  the  National  Teach- 
er Examinations  are  used  by  a 
large  number  of  school  systems 
and  teacher  education  institu- 
tions throughout  the  country  as 
an  aid  in  evaluating  such  of  the 
qualifications  of  prospect- 
ive teachers  as  are  measured  by 
the  tests.  Dr.  Brooks  said.  The 
scores  may  also  be  useful  to  ex- 
aminees who  are  interested  in 
discovering  their  own  strengths 
and  weaknesses  with  respect  to 
such  teacher  qualifications  as 
are  measured  by  the  tests,  he 
added.

a  candidate  may  take  the  com- 
mon Examinations  which  in- 
clude tests  in  Professional  In- 
formation. General  Culture,

President  Speaks 
In  Assembly 

Julius    E.    Browning 

The  entire  college  assembled 
for  the  first  time  after  the 
Christmas  Holidays  on  Thurs- 
day, January  5,  to  hear  President 
W.  K,  Payne. 

President  Payne  welcomed  the 
new,  and  returning  students  to 
the  college.  His  topic  was  "The 
New  Year." 

In  the  speech,  he  mentioned 
the  fact  that  he  hoped  that  the 
students  here  at  the  college 
would  make  this  a  better  year 
htan  the  last  one  and  that  the 
students  would  be  successful  in 
achieving  and  accomplishing 
their  goals  during  this  year. 

He  also  stated  that  this  was  a 
"leap  year."  In  achieving  the 
goals  of  making  this  a  beter 
year,  the  students  must  be  more 
determnied  than  last  year.  He 
stated  that  during  the  last  year 
there  should  have  been  achieve- 
ments made  that  would  make 
each  student  want  to  do  better. 

each  candidate  may  take  one  or 
two  Optional  Examinations 
which  are  designed  to  demon- 
strate mastery  of  subject  matter 
in  the  fields  in  which  the  candi- 
date is  prepared.

Message  From 


The  President 


\<:iiii:\i;mi;\t 


By  Louis  hhi  Pratt,  '58 

II.  I;;  well  occasionally  to  review 

the  pleasures  and  achievements 
of  the  pasl .  Too  often,  however, 
wo  lend  1.0  become  satisfied  with 
our  past  laurels  and  our  present 
progress  Is  Impeded, 

We  Tnll  to  recognize  the  Inevi- 
table [act  that  the  past  only  re- 
flects what  we  were.  11.  Ifi  nrcrs 
stiry  that  we  continue  to  achieve, 
Tor  when  man  becomes  unpro- 
ductive, he  relinquishes  his  posi- 
tion In   the  world, 

Past  achievements  should  be 
used  only  as  a  measuring  rod  to 
glorify  even  greater  achieve- 
ments of  the  present. 

Society  taps  one  who  constant- 
ly relates  or  his  past  a  braggard, 

but    she    smiles    on    one    who    Is 

constantly  striving  to  achieve 
If  you  would  have  a  job  done 
well,  employ  a  busy  person,  as 
idleness  Is  the  devil's  workshop. 
Dissatisfaction  has  paved  the 
road  In  the  world's  greatest  dis- 
coveries and  Inventions.  Today, 
as  In  yesteryears,  our  greatest 
thinkers  and  erudite  men  are 
those  who  are  dissatisfied  with 


the  past  and  are  possessed  with 
an  undying  and  relentless  objec- 
tive— to   strive   and   achieve. 

Perhaps  the  reason  underlying 
I  he  over-supply  of  satisfied  per- 
sons Is  that  we  ask  so  much  of 
the  world  and  have  so  little  to 
offer  it. 

Invariably,  our  efforts  toward 

progress  are  elreum vented  by 
misfortune.  We  then  travel  the 
line  or  least  resistance — dispalr. 
It  was  Fall  who  said  "Small 
minds  are  subdued  by  misfor- 
tune, but  great  minds  rise  above 
It."  Little  realization  is  given  to 
the  fact  that  all  worthwhile 
achievements  are  proceeded  by 
hard  work,  despair,  determina- 
tion, and  a  firm  senses  of  values. 

As  Borthwick  so  skillfully  and 
aptly  put  it,  "If  what  you  did 
yesterday  still  looks  big  to  you 
today,  you  haven't  quite  done 
your  part  today." 

In  1956,  let  us  continue  striv- 
ing to  achieve  and  uphold  the 
worthy  principles  and  aims  for 
which  our  College  so  nobly, 
proudly  and  firmly  stands  today 
as  in  yesteryears.

I 

During  the  early  days  of  Jan- 
uary. President  Dwight  D.  Eisen- 
hower submitted  his  fourth  an- 
nual "State  of  the  Union"  mes- 
sage. The  message  was  read  in 
the  two  houses  by  clerks  due  to 
the  President's  recent  illness.  In 
this  message,  the  President  first 
expressed  grateful  thanks  to  a 
kind  God  "whose  protection  has 
been  ever  present  and  whose 
bounty  has  been  manifold  and 
abundant."  He  summed  up  the 
state  in  which  the  United  States 
linds  itself  at  the  end  of  1955 
and  In  accordance  with  the  Con- 
stitution, he  turned  to  the  pros- 
pects for  the  future. 

The  U.  S.  primary  objective 
was  the  achievement  of  world 
peace  and  the  removal  of  "the 
pall  of  fear"  stated  the  Presi- 
dent, reviewing  the  first  meet- 
ing in  Geneva  and  the  meeting 
of  the  Big  Four  foreign  minis- 
ters in  October  where  the  Com- 
munists showed  their  "true  col- 
ors". President  Eisenhower  fur- 
ther stated  that  the  nation  needs 
to  press  its  search  for  regional 
objectives:  in  the  Middle  East, 
(one  of  the  world's  "hot"  trou- 
ble spots)  a  fair  solution  of  the 
tragic  dispute  between  the  Arab 
states  and  Israel;  in  Asia,  ren- 
der aid  to  those  nations  strug- 
gling to  maintain  their  freedom; 
in  Europe,  "a  greater  measure  of 
integration". 

He  proposed  a  new  approach 
to  foreign  economic  aid,  request- 
ing Congress  to  grant  him  "lim- 
ited authority  to  make  longer- 
term  commitments".  Egypt  has 
threatened  to  refuse  to  accept 
the  aid  of  the  Western  Nations 
in  its  Aswan  Dam  project  be- 
cause of  the  lack  of  assurance  of 
sufficient  funds  available  to 
Egypt  for  future  use  and  be- 
cause of  certain  stipulations  by 
the  western  nations  which  the 
Communists  are  not  asking. 

As  for  the  nation  itself,  the 
President  proposed  a  five-year 
program  of  federal  aid  for  the 
construction  of  schools,  an  ex- 
tension of  public  housing  facili- 
ties for  low-income  families,  a 
balanced  budget  for  the  fiscal 
year  ending  June  30,  1957,  an 
experimental  program  of  flood 
damage  indemnities,  a  "soil 
bank"  for  agriculture,  a  ten- 
year,  $25  billion  program  of  in- 
terstate highway  construction 
and  others. 

The  recent  election  in  France 
had  the  biggest  election  turnout 
in  France's  history  but  to  the 
dismay  of  many.  Of  the  21,794,- 
974  voters  to  go  to  the  polls  5,- 
400.000  cast  their  ballots  for  the 
Communists  and  gave  them  in- 
creased representation  in  Parlia- 
ment because  in  five  years  past 
the  men  of  immobolism  who 
governed  France  had  been  found 
wanting.  For  the  third  time 
since  World  War  II,  the  French 
people  had  gone  to  the  polls. 
Eighty-two  per  cent  of  the  eli- 
gible voters  turned  out  and  in 
an  Assembly  of  626  seats,  dis- 
sipated the  governing  power 
among  four  main  blocs: 

Communists — 150 

Left-of-center  coalition  (Pre- 
mier Mendes  France  and  Social- 
ites)—160 

Right-of-center  coalition  (Pre- 
mier Edgar  Faure,  Roman  Cath- 
olic   M.R.P.,   Independents)— 200 

Poujadists — 52 

Prior  to  the  election  the  ex- 
perts did  not  take  young  Pierre 
Poujade  seriously.  He  was  only  a 
bookseller  whose  only  program 
was  a  refusal  to  pay  taxes  and 


Recently  there  has  been  unus- 
ual concern  about  tests  and  ex- 
aminations. To  mention  the 
term  often  creates  definite  emo- 
tional reactions  In  students  or 
candidates  expecting  to  take 
such  examinations.  It  is  not  oft- 
en that  one  finds  individuals 
who  consider  examinations  as  a 
normal  process  of  education  or 
measurement.  Perhaps  one  won- 
ders how  this  fear  exists  from 
the  first  grade  through  college 
and  the  graduate  school,  [^Cer- 
tainly, one  should  become  accus- 
tomed to  periodic  examinations 
after  a  few  instances.  Learning 
to  take  examinations  should  be- 
come a  normal  process  for  stu- 
dents and  Individuals  engaged  in 
occupations  or  professions  which 
make  use  of  such  instruments.  If 
individuals  had  confidence  in 
x-hoir  abilities  to  succeed,  there 
would  probably  be  less  fear  or 
emotional  shock.  The  individual 
faced  with  a  nexamination  often 
discovers  that  his  training  and 
information  are  not  adequate  to 
undertake  the  task.  In  general, 
those  who  feel  adequately  pre- 
pared do  not  experience  the  feari 
and  the  fright. 

College  students  can  secure  in- 
iiirance  against  such  catastro- 
phies.  To  state  how  this  insur- 
ance can  be  provided  in  over- 
simplified terms,  one  might  say 
that  thorough  preparation  from 
day  to  day  produces  the  feeling 
of  adequacy  and  abilities  needed 
to  succeed  in  examinations 
based  on  one's  training  and  lev- 
el of  development.  The  teacher 
and  the  student  both  can  make 
a   contribution   to  the   develop- 


ment of  abilities  and  self-con- 
fidence needed  for  success  in  ex- 
amination. Teachers  through  the 
administration  of  quizzes,  tests, 
and  quarterly  examinations  can 
be  sure  that  students  have  had 
opportunities  to  acquire  the  re- 
actions necessary  for  successful 
examination  results.  However, 
the  major  part  of  the  prepara- 
tion rests  with  the  student.  The 
chief  difficulties  confronting 
students  may  be  traced  to  a  lack 
of  balance  and  variety  in  the 
fields  of  knowledge.  Students 
taking  comprehensive  examina- 
tions find  that  in  some  fields 
their  knowledge  and  information 
are  almost  non-existent.  Since 
one  acquires  education  through 
his  own  activities  and  exper- 
ience, students  should  develop  a 
plan  which  will  help  them  grow 
and  learn  i  nthe  various  fields. 
Present-day  magazines,  newspa- 
pers, and  boks  provide  excellent 
materials  in  language  and  com- 

ununication,    fine    arts,    natural 

/sciences,  social  sciences,  and  the' 
professions.  It  is  up  to  the  stu-* 
dent  to  see  that  his  educational 
diet  possesses  the  variety  needed- 
to  produce  a  well-educated  per^ 
son.  At  every  level  in  college  stu- 
dents can  begin  now  to  provide 
for  that  balance  and  variety  of 
experiences  needed  to  develop  a 

1  well-educated  individual.  As  a 
good  .  beginning  the  student 
might  make  a  chart  on  which  he 

I  could  check  the  activities  in 
which  he  engages  that  contrib- 
ute to  each  of  the  major  areas 
Such  a  plan  would  tend  to  re- 
duce the  insecurity  and  resulting 
emotional  fear  and  shock. 


whose  only  remedy  was  to  get 
rid  of  the  old  gang.  "Throw  the 
rascals  out!"  was  his  cry — and 
2,400,000  Frenchmen  gave  him 
their  vote  even  though  he  was 
not  running  in  the  election  him- 
self. His  candidates  had  to  take 
an  oath  not  to  take  a  position  on 
an  issue  which  has  not  been  ap- 
proved by  the  Central  National 
Committee. 

After  the  election,  Frenchmen 
could  hardly  believe  that  they 
had  put  a  third  (36  per  cent)  of 
the  Popular  vote  of  Parliament 
into  the  hands  of  men  openly 
opposed  to  parliamentary  de- 
mocracy. 


When  he  comes  into  the  world, 
everybody  wants  to  kiss  him; 

But  before  he  leaves,  every- 
body wants  to  kick  him. 

If  he  dies  young,  he  leaves  a 
great  future  before  him;  but  if 
he  lives  to  reach  a  ripe  old  age, 
he's  in  the  way  and  only  living 
to  save  funeral  expenses. 

Life  is  funny.  So  why  take  it 
so  seriously — you  will  never  get 
out  of  it  alive. 


LIFE'S  JOURNEY 

A  man  comes  into  the  world 
without  his  consent  and  leaves 
against  his  will.  During  his  stay 
on  earth,  his  time  is  spent  most- 
ly in  one  continual  round  of  con- 
traries and  misunderstandings. 

In  his  dueits,  he's  a  fool. 

In  his  infancy,  he's  an  angel. 

In  his  boyhood,  he's  a  devil. 

And  in  his  manhood,  he's  ev- 
erything from  a  skunk  up. 

If  he  goes  to  church,  he's  a 
hyprocrite. 

If  he  stays  away  from  church, 
he's  a  sinner. 

If  he  donates  to  a  foreign  mis- 
sion, he  shows  good  judgment; 
if  he  does  not,  he  will  always  re- 
gret it. 


Bachelor's  Beware 

Johnny  Campbell  Jr. 

Fellow  bachelors — beware!  Our 
cherished  and  most  enviable  in- 
stitution of  bachelorhood  is  in 
imminent  danger  of  collapsing 
This  year— alas,  happens  to  be 
Leap  Year,  and  the  women  are 
more  determined  than  ever  be- 
fore to  exterminate  the  whole 
lot  of  us.  They  have  redoubled 
their  efforts  and  a  popular  song, 
undoubtedly  written  by  one  of 
our  envious  friends  <  married 
men)  entitled  "Love  and  Mar- 
riage" has  given  them  the  added 
propaganda  value  which  may 
greatly  facilitate  our  extinction 

No  longer  is  it  possible  to  say 
to  the  girl  of  your  dreams  "I  love 
you,  but  I  can't  marry  you."  This 
standard  line  that  stood  the  test 
of  time  for  so  long  is  not  valid 
any  more. 

Tell  your  girl  that  today  and

maintain  a  20  point  average  per 
name  for  the  first  foui  games  for

column  of  the  "Emory  Wheel." 

Prof:  "If  I  saw  a  man  beating 
a  donkey  and  stopped  him  from 
doing  it,  what  virtue  would  I  be 
showing?" 

Voice  in  the  back:  "Brotherly 
love." 

And  then  there's  the  educator 
who  came  up  with  this  one:  "I 
shall  now  illustrate  what  I  have 
on  my  mind,"  said  the  professor 
as  he  erased  the  blackboard.

Bachelor's  Beware 

II  onlinueil  from  S'nur  2) 
immediately  she  replies,  "But 
you  must  not  love  me."  And  if 
'you're  as  foolish  as  I  was  to  ask 
why.  the  forthcoming  answer  is. 
"Because  love  and  marriage  go 
together — you  can't  have  one 
without  the  other." 

I  must  warn  you  that  It  is  use- 
less to  question  whether  or  not 
love  and  marriage  really  go  to- 
gether. The  women  have  decided 
they  do.  and  brother,  once  they 
decide  something,  as  any  mar- 


ried man   (poor  fellow)   will  tell 
you — it's  final. 

In  the  face  of  the  present  dan- 
ger we  must  take  a  united  stand. 
Together  we  remain  free  and  in- 
dependent. Divided  we  will  be 
marched  to  the  altar  one  by  one. 
We  must  all  become  full-fledged 
and  active  members  of  the  S.P.B. 
•  Society  for  the  Preservation  of 
Bachelorhood). 

The  women  have  been  arming 
themselves  for  three  years  and 
I  need  not  remind  you  that  they 
possess  the  most  devastating  wea- 
pons known  to  mankind,  includ- 
ing the  A.,  H.  or  Z.  bomb.  Their 
kisses  will  be  mellower  than  ever 
and  their  smiles  more  myster- 
ious than  Mona  Lisa's.  The  melo- 
dious tones  of  their  voices  will 
become  more  entrancing  and  the 
antelopic  grace  of  their  walk 
will  appear  more  voluptuous  than 
ever  before. 

All  of  these  subtle  devices  are 
to  be  employed  for  only  one  pur- 
pose— to  lead  us  by  the  ear  to 
that  place  which  for  so  long  has 
been  taboo  ithe  altar)  and  to 
compel  us  to  utter  those  two  for- 
bidden words — "I  do." 

Against  such  an  all-out  attack 
on  our  independence,  it  is  cer- 
tain that  some  of  us  are  doomed 
to  the  chains  of  matrimony. 
Only  the  very,  very  strong  will 
survive,  but  survive  we  must. 
The  resistance  that  we  have  been 
building  up  since  1953  is  going 
to  be  subjected  to  the  most  se- 


vere  of   tests   for   the   next   336 
days. 

To  those  of  you  who  have  not 
taken  time  to  build  your  eresist- 
ance  up.  here  is  some  very  good 
advice. 

If  your  resistance  is  so  low 
Till  you  cannot  tell  her  no 
But  you  do  not  like  wedding  bells 
Then  get  prepared  to  run  like — . 

I  have  some  more  advice  to 
give  but  I  must  get  dressed.  My 
girl  is  coming  to  pick  me  up  at 
eight  and  I'm  sure  that  she  will 
pop  the  question  tonight.  So  I'll 
see  you — at  the  altar. 


What  Type  of  Music 
Do  You  Like? 

Eugene  Moore  III 

Here  are  the  types  of  music 
that  some  of  the  students  pre- 
fer here  at  Savannah  State.  You 
will  also  find  their  reasons  for 
liking  the  type  of  music  that 
they  have  selected  as  their  fav- 
orite 

Harriet  Polite:  "I  like  popular 
music  because  it  is  eery  relax- 
ing." 

Leon  Coverson:  "I  prefer  pop- 
ular music  because  it  is  easier 
for  dancing  purposes." 

Eudora  Moore;  "My  love  for 
music  varies  from  classical  to 
jazz.  There  is  a  definite  quality 
in  each  for  "me." 

Jolly  Stephens:  "I  like  rhythm 
and  blues  because  it  tends  to 
take  the  dullness  out  of  my  life". 


MY  GAME !  LUCKY  DROODLES! 


WHAT'S 
THIS? 

For  solution,  see 
paragraph  at  right. 


THERE'S  NO  GETTING  AROUND  IT— Luckies  taste 
better.  And  there's  no  getting  around  that  thing  in 
the  Droodle  at  left,  either— the  Droodle's  titled: 
Lucky  smoker  with  bum  seat  at  football  game.  Poor 
guy  is  really  up  against  it.  But  he's  got  a  swell  point 
of  view  on  smoking — he  smokes  Luckies  for  better 
taste.  Luckies  taste  better  because  they're  made 
of  fine  tobacco  that's  TOASTED  to  taste  better. 
Chances  are  our  friend  in  Section  28  is  thinking, 
"This  is  the  best-tasting  cigarette  I  ever  smoked!"

Triumph  vs.  Defeat 

By  Louis  Hill  Pratt,  '68 


When  two  persona  or  groups  of 
persons  bake  opposite  sides  on 
an  issue,  triumph  and  defeat  are 
the  probable  consequences.  The 
prize  or  the  winner  Is  triumph 

and   detent  Is   the  loser's  lot. 

it  Is  generally  easy  to  profit 
from  a  triumph)  and  therefore, 
the  concern  here  Is  directed  to 
the  potential  profits  of  defeat. 

Technically,  there  can  never 
be  two  winners  in  any  cause. 
But  If  the  experience  derived 
from  an  encounter  profits  each 
party  equally,  there  Is  complete 
triumph. 

It  Is  hero  that  I  quote  Keel 
who  stated,  "There  are  some  de- 
feats that  arc  more  triumphant 
than  victories". 

The  object,  here  Is  an  attempt 
to  show  how  both  victorious  and 
non-victorious  experiences  may 
promote  future  victories, 

It.  is  likely  that  those  of  us 
who  have  participated  in  any 
type  of  competitive  activity  have 
been  both  victorious  and  van- 
quished. 

Success  In  a  field  of  endeavor 
depends  not  so  much  on  victory 
as  It  does  on  the  use  one  makes 
of  the  total  experiences  derived 
from  his  defeats  and  trlumps, 

I  should  think  that  the  noblest 
and  wisest  men  who   have  ever 


lived  were  those  who  consistent- 
ly searched  defeat  for  some  les- 
son or  moral,  and  have  utilized 
this  product  In  future  encoun- 
ters. 

The  first  step  toward  defeat  is 
lack  of  confidence,  Secondly, 
determination  falters,  resulting 
in  despair  and  the  Ill-founded 
conclusion  that  defeat  Is  Inevit- 
able. This  Is  the  Ideal  set-up  for 
defeat,  for  once  one  sees  defeat 
as  inevitable,  It  invariably  en- 
sues. However,  if  we  endeavor 
to  retain  our  self-confidence  and 
make  a  sincere  effort  to  view  the 
situation  In  its  real  light,  rather 
than  from  a  pessimistic  or 
idealistic  point  of  view,  our 
chances  for  success  would  be  in- 
creased, thus  promoting  our  po- 
tentialities. 

The  duration  of  our  determ- 
ination should  be  dependent 
upon  the  relationship  of  the 
value  of  expended  efforts  to  the 
value  of  the  anticipated  gain 
through  victory.  Otherwise,  the 
value  of  our  efforts  may  exceed 
our  victorious  gain.  Thus,  we 
have  achieved  a  triumph  that 
could  hardly  be  termed  victor- 
ious, and  which  might  be  termed 
a  "Pyrrhic  Victory",  which  is  a 
triumph  gained  at  too  great  a 
cost. 


What   Happens 
On   The  Hood 

Isaiah  Mclver 

Only  a  small  minority  of  the 
students  at  any  college  in  the 
United  Stales  or  any  other  coun- 
try ever  get  the  opportunity  to 
travel  along  with  their  football, 
basketball  or  other  teams  when 
they  have  games  to  play  on  the 
road.  If  some  of  the  staunch 
supporters  of  the  game  of  foot- 
ball or  basketball  could  see  what 
happens  to  the  visiting  team 
they  would  lose  all  interest  in  a 
game  of  basketball  or  football. 

It  Is  quite  evident  that  all  of 
the  games  can't  be  played  in  the 
home  stadium  or  on  the  home 
court.  However.  In  many  of  the 
conferences  it  is  almost  impos- 
sible to  win  a  game  on  an  op- 
ponent's home  court  and  the 
only  reason  you  can  win  a  foot- 
ball game  away  from  home  in

I 


For  the  first  time  since  1947, 
the  French  National  Assembly 
elected  a  Socialist  as  premier. 
Guy  Mullet  elected  by  an  over- 
whelming majority  will  head  the 
twenty-second  postwar  cabinet. 
Needing  the  support  of  the  Com- 
munists to  win,  he  stated  that 
no  commitments  had  been  made 
nor  would  any  be  made  to  them. 

Mollet  called  for  peace  in 
North  Africa  where  the  French 
have  been  engaged  in  combat 
with  Algerian  rebels  for  months. 
He  called  for  more  liberty  and 
Justice  for  the  North  Africans; 
a  modest  social  reform  program 
calling  for  the  establishment  of 
an  old-age  fund  and  longer  va- 
cation; and  changes  in  the  con- 
stitution and  in  the  election  sys- 
tem. 

The  followers  of  P  o  u  j  a  d  e, 
however,  vigorously  opposed 
Mollet  for  the  premiership. 
Poujade  in  outlining  his  pro- 
gram to  his  Deputies  decreed 
that  they  must  turn  over  their 
salaries  to  him.  (Each  deputy 
makes  about  $600  a  month).  He 
plans  a  revival  of  the  old  States- 
General,  a  medieval  body  com- 
posed of  the  clergy,  the  nobility 
and  the  bourgeoisie.  Poujade 
promises  that  his  Deputies  will 
rise  at  the  proper  time  and  de- 
mand of  the  National  Assembly 
a  modern  States-General  having 
four  classes :  shopkeepers  and 
other  trademen;  farmers;  em- 
ployees; and  the  academic  class. 

This'  writer  wonders  if  the 
French  people  will  support  Pou- 
jade's  proposal  as  he  expects 
of  them.  Even  though  the 
French  are  desperate  for  a 
chance  that  will  stabilize  their 
government,  making  it  more  dif- 
ficult for  the  Premier  and  his 
cabinet  to  be  their  government, 
making  it  more  difficult  for  the 
Premier  and  his  cabinet  to  be 
overthrown,  only  an  idiot  can 
expect  the  people  to  accept  such 
a  drastic  change  because  it  was 
the  States-General  that  caused 
the  uprising  among  the  French 
in  1789. 


As  one  visits  some  cities  I  nthe  United  States,  his  attention  is 
often  drawn  to  their  orderliness  and  cleanliness.  Wherever  such 
conditions  are  maintained  one  feels  uplifted  as  he  passes  or  pauses. 
This  same  feeling  of  buoyancy  shows  itself  in  many  types  of  situa- 
tions and  many  different  places.  If  a  study  is  made  of  schools,  the 
extent  to  which  the  rooms  and  facilities  are  in  order  and  clean  be- 
comes an  Index  of  the  type  of  teachers  and  pupils  who  study  and 
learn  there.  Dormitory  rooms,  assembly  halls,  lounging  centers,  and 
play  areas  produce  a  similar  feeling  when  they  are  neat,  clean,  and 
orderly.  Parking  areas  often  indicate  the  thoughtfulness  and  the 
extent  to  which  habits  of  cleanliness  have  been  generalized. 

Students  acquire  habits  in  these  areas  in  much  the  same  way 
that  they  acquire  other  kinds  of  learning.  A  student  who  arranges 
his  work  in  mathematics  systematically  and  orderly  does  not  be- 
come confused  when  he  reaches  the  problem  area.  Written  and  oral 
expression  also  show  evidences  of  system  and  order.  There  are  no 
areas  in  our  school  and  school  activities  where  system  and  order 
will  not  improve  the  results  which  we  hope  to  achieve.  Individuals 
who  make  up  our  school  community  can  decide  to  create  an  inspir- 
ing and  beautiful  college.  As  an  institution  achievement,  it  must 
first  be  an  individual  achievement  by  those  who  study  and  work 
here.  Savannah  State  College  should  create  an  atmosphere  which 
makes  learning  and  habit  forming  in  the  area  of  cleanliness  and 
orderliness  increasingly  enpoyable.

Negro  History  Week 

Ruse  M.  Manigault 

As  we  all  know  we  celebrated 
American  Negro  History  Week 
February  12-19.  The  story  of  the 
American  Negro  began  in  Af- 
rica, more  specifically  on  the 
West  Coast,  whence  came  most 
of  the  slaves  to  the  New  World 

Formal  education  of  Negroes 
in  the  United  States  began  in 
1865.  As  measured  from  this 
s'arllng  point  the  Negroes  have 
made  tremendous  educational 
advances. 

Viscount  Bryce  once  said  that 
the  American  Negroes  in  the 
first  thirty  years  of  his  libera- 
tion made  greater  advances  than 
was  ever  made  by  the  Anglo- 
Saxon  in  a  similar  period.  Ly- 
man Abbot  stated  "Never  in  the 
history  of  man  has  a  race  made 
such  educational  and  material 
progress  in  forty  years  as  the 
American   Negro." 

Ray  Lyman  Wilbur  stated, 
"There  Is  no  more  amazing  pic- 


the  Middle  East;  exploiting  peo- 
ple everywhere  by  instigating 
riots;  and  creating  disturbances 
and  raising  hell  in  general. 

Is  it  peace  that  they  really  are 
seeking?  Are  their  actions  in- 
dicative of  a  nation  seeking 
peace  when  they  go  into  a  coun- 
try and  support  demonstrations 
against  the  friends  of  democ- 
racy, and  against  the  leaders 
and  people  so  that  they  may  be- 
come strangers  in  that  nation? 
The  answe  r  is  no !  It  is  not 
peace  but  rather  world  domina- 
tion the  Communists  seek.  They 
are  trying  to  dominate  the 
world— not  as  Napoleon,  Hitler 
and  other  dictators  and  warring 
nations  did  by  brutal  strength— 
but  by  handshaking  and  stab- 
bing a  nation  in  the  back  at  the 
same  time.  It  is  a  pity  that  they 
ware  not  kicked  out  of  the 
United  Nations  when  it  was  dis- 
covered that  the  Russians  were 
providing  the  enemies  of  the 
United  Nations  with  arms  even 
though  all  nations  are  pledged 
to  the  defense  of  the  other  na- 
tions. The  United  Nations 
should  have  a  means  of  expell- 
ing any  member  nation  found 
guilty  of  provoking  uprisings. 
Then  th?  Communist  snake  will 
show  its  true  color. 

It  is  not  to  be  forgotten  that 
Lenin  remarked  in  1918  that  the 
road  to  Paris  leads  through  New 
Delhi. 


Once  again  Russia  is  portray- 
ing the  "Dr.  Jekyll  and  Mr. 
Hyde"  role. 

Recently  Bulgania  submitted 
through  R  u  s  s  i  a'  s  ambassador 
George  Zarubin  an  invitation  to 
the  United  States  to  join  in  a 
twenty  -  year  non  -  aggression 
pact  between  the  two  countries. 

President  Eisenhower  in  re- 
fusing this  offer  pointed  out 
that  the  treaty  was  already 
covered  by  the  charter  of  the 
United  Nations.  He  also  pointed 
out  that  the  Communists  have 
refused  to  try  to  unify  Germany 
by  free  election  and  to  permit 
"open  skies"  inspection  as  a  step 
to  non-aggression. 

While  Russia  desires  peace  by 
words,  their  actions  indicate 
otherwise.  For  the  past  years 
they  have  provoked  incidents  of 
conflicts  all  over  the  world.  In 
recent  times  they  have  been  in- 
vading the  waters  of  Norway; 
creating    anti-West    feelings    in 


ture  in  the  history  of  education 
than  that  presented  by  the 
American  citizen  of  the  Negro 
race. 

Let  us  as  Negroes  keep  striving 
to  make  the  future  more  suc- 
cessful than  our  past.  "As  we 
climb  the  ladder  of  progress  let 
our  goals  be  to  find  success."

Paradise 

By  Isaiah  Mclver 

We  shall  meet  above  the  stars 
That  shine   in   silent   skies  my 

love. 
Where  only  love  and  joy 

are  found 
Far  above  the  sorrowing  seas, 
Where  love's  tender  words  are 

heard 
And  the  songs  of  love  forever 

rise, 
Where  only  we  shall  reign  in  jo" 
Upon  our  thrones  in  paradise. 
Afar  from  all  shadows  and 

gloom, 
Where  mellow  Acardy  is  known 
And  perfumed  gardens  of 

flowers  bloom, 
Is  where  we'll  be  forever  more 
In  love's  eternal  paradise. 
The  unblinking  stars  shall  fill 

the  skies 
And   the  birds  will  sing   a  tune 

as  sweet 
As  the  harmonies  from  a 

Heavenly  choir 
Shall  lull  our  souls  to  paradise.

EPIGRAMS 

Back  in  our  day  the  board  of 
education  was  a  shingle. 

A  college  education  seldom 
hurts  a  man  if  he's  willing  to 
learn  a  little  something  after  he 
graduates. 

The  weaker  the  argument  the 
stronger  the  words.

THE  TIGERS  ROAR 


Former  Student 
Appointment  At 
Syracuse  U. 

Miss  Ida  Girvsn.  graduate  of 
Savannah  State  College,  captain 
of  its  championship  girls'  bas- 
ketball team  and  an  all-around 
student,  is  the  cadet  in  charge 
of  the  Library  School  at  Syra- 
cuse University,  Syracuse,  N.  Y. 
There  are  four  assistants  work- 
ing with  her.  Miss  Girven's  ma- 
jor was  social  science.  She  Is  a 
native  of  Amsterdam,  Georgia 
and  had  a  three  year  basketball 
scholarship  at  Savannah  State 
College. 

The  cadetships  are  the  most 
popular  in  the  field  of  library 
service.  In  cooperation  with  the 
Cyracuse  University  Library,  the 
School  of  Library  Science  is  en- 
abled to  appoint  six  graduate 
students  each  year  to  post  on 
the  library  staff  for  a  period  of 
two  years.  These  cadets  are  per- 
mitted to  undertake  studies  in 
the  school  to  the  amount  of  two 
courses  each  in  the  fall  and 
spring  term  and  one  in  the  sum- 
mer free  of  tuition  charge.  They 
are  engaged  on  a  30  hour  basis 
with  a  basic  salary. 


Eye    For    Eye 

A  small  boy  leading  a  donkey, 
passed  an  army  camp.  A  couple 
of  soldiers  wanted  to  have  some 
fun  with  the  lad. 

"Why  are  you  holding  on  to 
your  brother  so  tight,  Sonny?" 
said  one  of  the  soldiers. 

"So  he  won't  join  the  army," 
the  youngster  replied  without 
blinking  an  eye. 


Campus  Policy 
Appointed 

By  Daniel  Washington 

The  Office  of  Student  Person- 
nel Services  is  happy  to  an- 
nounce the  appointment  of  two 
young  men  to  the  positions  of 
campus  policemen.  These  young 
men  are  Frank  Chappel  and  Al- 
bert King.  It  will  be  their  duty 
to  direct  auto  control  traffic 
here  on  the  campus.  They  will 
also  have  the  authority  to  act 
as  regular  policemen  in  case  of 
emergencies. 

Formation  of  the  campus  po- 
lice has  been  for  a  long  time  a 
part  of  the  overall  plans  of  the 
President  and  college  develop- 
ment. These  plans  are  being  im- 
plemented presently. 

There  are  many  benefits  to 
be  had  from  the  inauguration  of 
the  traffic  and  safety  program 
throughout  the  commun- 
ity. These  benefits  include  the 
personal  protection  of  the  stu- 
dents, the  faculty  and  staff  and 
many  visitors  we  have  on  the 
campus.  The  campus  police  will 
also  benefit  the  college  and  the 
Civil  Defense  Program  in  the 
immediate  vicinity  by  participa- 
tion in  the  Civil  Defense  evacua- 
tion program. 

The  Savannah  State  College 
family  is  asked  to  comply  with 
the  rules  and  regulations  that 
have  been  set  up  by  the  campus 
police.  We  need  the  complete 
co-operation  of  each  individual 
student  and  faculty  member  in 
carrying  this  program  over.

What   Happens  On 

{Continued  from   Page  2) 
many   instances   is   because   the 
visiting  team  is  a  great  deal  bet- 
ter than  home  team. 

In  basketball  more  so  than 
football,  it  seems  as  though  the 
officials  are  out  to  give  the  visi- 
tors a  defeat.  In  many  cases  it 
seems  as  though  the  officials  are 
given  the  numbers  that  the  high 
scoring  players  are  to  wear,  and 
when  the  game  starts  the  offi- 
cials start  their  cheating  process 
of  calling  traveling  even  when 
the  player  isn't  walking  or  they 
will  call  fouls  that  haven't  been 
committed  by  the  player  whom 
the  referee  tells  to  raise  his 
hands.  These  accusations  sound 
fantastic  to  those  people  who 
never  get  the  chance  to  travel 
with  their  team.  However,  the 
visiting  team  and  the  small 
number  of  visiting  students 
know  these  aren't-  accusations, 
but  facts. 

On  numerous  occasions  the 
referee  calls  non  -  committed 
fouls  on  the  visiting  team  espe- 
cially when  the  visitors  are  in 
the  lead  so  that  the  home  team 
will  have  a  chance  to  tie  the 
score  or  take  the  lead.  Crimes 
of  this  sort  on  the  part  of  offi- 
cials are  taking  all  of  the  life 
out  of  some  of  our  favorite 
pastimes  and  if  these  criminals 
who  are  out  to  win  a  game  for 
the  home  team  aren't  removed 
from  these  key  slots,  the  game 
of  basketball  will  soon  become 
something  of  the  past. 

If  officials  are  going  to  keep 
their  unfair  practices  all  inter- 
est will  be  lost  in  these  games. 

Unless  some  of  the  people  who 
are  in  responsible  positions  start 
doing  something  to  correct  these 
practices  in  their  areas,  the 
teams  will  only  be  able  to  win  at 
home,  and  if  they  do  play  away 
from  home,  all  of  the  life  will 
be  out  of  the  games  because  the 
visitors  will  be  of  the  opinion 
that  they  are  going  to  lose  since

relationship  with  the  off- 
campus  and  the  dormitory  stu- 
dents, and  also  to  promote  self- 
government  among  women. 

There  is  a  special  planning 
committee  of  several  girls.  They 
are  Connie  Lewis,  Genorls  Mag-

Thunderbolt's 
Centennial 

By  Olorin  Moultrie 

Many  students  traveling  to 
and  from  Savannah  State  Col- 
lege by  way  of  Thunderbolt, 
have  become  accustomed  to  the 
familiar  Bonnets  characteristic 
of  the  middle  lBOO's,  worn  by  the 
Indies  ol  this  community,  and 
the  men  sporting  their  beards, 
not  because  they  want  to;  but 
It's  Just  n  matter  of  buying  a  li- 
cense, for  three  dollars,  or  being 
arrested  by  one  of  the  lost  an- 
gles (policewoman).  No  resident 
has  been  excused,  the  Mayor, 
Chief  of  Police,  along  with  the 
clerk  and  the  town  aldermen, 
are  sporting  their  beards  like- 
wise. 

As  the  celebration  neaved 
many  of  the  residents  took 
their  bonnets  and  beards  as  a 
part  of  their  dally  routine. 

The  Town  of  Thunderbolt  was 
established  about  1856,  with  the 
commissioner  type  government. 

Many  residents  give  the  fol- 
lowing account  of  the  town  re- 
ceiving its  name:  "a  bolt  of 
lightning  struck  a  rock  causing 
a  spring  to  flow  forth,  near  the 
old  casino.  The  Indians  then 
called  it  Thunderbolt." 

In  keeping  with  the  celebra- 
tion a  number  of  events  were 
planned,  which  will  include  a 
street  parade,  a  carnival,  mid- 
way, bazzar,  speedboat  races, 
and  an  address  by  the  Governor 
of  Georgia. 

A  beard  growing  contest  was 
in  progress;  prizes  were  given 
for  the  most  unique  beards,  etc. 

To  highlight  these  festivities 
a  King  and  Queen  were  select- 
ed from  the  younger  set.

Otis  Broek 

By  Isaiah  Mclver 

Otis  Jerome  ( Batman  i  Brock 
Is  a  senior  majoring  in  Social 
Science  and  minoring  in  Physi- 
cal Education.  He  Is  scheduled 
to  graduate  in  June  of  this  year. 

His  home  town  is  Montezuma. 
Georgia  and  he  Is  6  feet  4  inches 
worth  of  powerful,  terrorizing 
and  explosive  humanity  on  the 
basketball  court. 

His  basketball  career  began  at 
Macon  County  Training  School 
of  Montezuma.  The  superb  skill 
which  he  demonstrated  in  the 
tournaments  in  which  he  par- 
ticipated in  high  school  gained 
him  a  reputation  and  a  schol- 


arship to  play  basketball  at  Sa- 
vannah State, 

Brock  entered  Savannah  State 
in  the  fall  of  1952  and  immed- 
iately became  one  of  the  Tigers' 
mainstays.  His  excellent  offen- 
sive and  defensive  playing  was 
one  of  the  main  reasons  why  Sa- 
vannah State  became  conference 
and  tournament  champions  in 
1952.  In  1953  he  reached  his 
pinacle  in  basketball-  Aside 
from  being  named  as  a  member 
of  the  All-Conference  team,  he 
was  also  selected  as  the  most 
valuable  player  in  the  S.E.A.C. 
He  has  been  selected  to  the  All- 
Conference  team  for  two  con- 
secutive years  and  he  is  a  strong 
contender  for  All  -  Conference 
honors  again  this  season. 

Even  though  he  has  scored 
thousands  of  points  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Tigers'  basketball 
team,  has  been  selected  to  the 
All-Conference  team  twice  and 
has  been  named  the  most  valu- 
able player  in  the  conference 
once,  he  considers  being  presi- 
dent of  Delta  Eta  Chapter  of 
Alpha  Phi  Alpha  as  the  position 
that  he  will  cherish  most. 

Thirty-three  is  the  highest 
number  of  points  that  Brock  has 
been  able  to  score  this  season. 
He  accomplished  this  feat 
against  Allen  University  on  Feb- 
ruary 11,  in  Wiley  Gymnasium. 
Last  season  he  scored  36  points 
against  Fort  Valley  State  Col- 
lege. 


Basketball  is  just  one  of  the 
sports  in  which  Brock  partici- 
pates. In  baseball  he  is  Savan- 
nah State's  top  pitcher.  Football 
is  another  sport  that  he  plays 
quite  well,  but  he  failed  to  ven- 
ture into  this  area  after  he 
entered  Savannah  State. 

Upon  graduation  he  plans  to 
enter  Law  School  or  become  a 
high  school  basfcetball  coach. 
He  said  that  trie  \e  a  u  ti  f  ul 
campus,  the  many  exciting  bas- 
ketball and  baseball  games  in 
which  he  has  participated  have 
helped  to  make  these  four  years 
enjoyable  ones. 


The  Track  Team 

Savannah  State's  track  team, 
which  has  been  conference 
champions  for  the  past  four 
years,  has  begun  practice.  This 
season  promises  to  be  another 
championship  season  for  the 
Tigers. 

Along  with  such  reliable 
speedsters  as  L.  J.  McDaniels 
and  Anderson  Kelly,  the  Tigers 
have  some  very  impressive  high 
school  stars  such  as  Cleveland 
Holmes,  the  James  boys.  Sammy 
White,  James  Wallace,  Willie 
Batchelor  and  Jewel  Mitchell. 
Mitchell  has  just  returned  from 
the  army  arid  Fort  Benning's 
championship  440  relay  team. 
With  all  of  the  former  high 
school  stars,  army  stars  and 
those  champs  from  last  season, 
the  Tigers  are  going  to  be  the 
team  this  season. 


ETERNITY  CASE 

The  doctor's  five-year-old  an- 
swered the  call  at  the  door. 

"Is  the  doctor  in?"  inquired 
the  caller. 

"No,  sir." 

"Have  you  any  idea  when  he 
will  be  back?" 

"I  don't  know,  sir.  He  went 
out  on  an  eternity  case."

Festival  Set 
For  April 


Religious  Emphasis  Week 
March  27 


Zetas  Select  Freshman  of  Year    1/ 


The  Rho  Beta  Chapter  of  the 
Zeta  Phi  Beta  Sorority  observed 
its  annual  "Finer  Womanhood 
Week"  during  February  22-25 
During  this  week  there  were  ac- 
tivities that  this  group  sponsors 
each  year. 

In  their  chapel  program  which 
was  held  on  February  23,  Miss 
Ruth  Anderson  of  Jacksonville, 
Fla.  was  the  guest  speaker.  Miss 
Anderson  is  the  head  nurse  at 
Brewster  Hospital  and  a  grad- 
uate of  Florida  A  &  M  University 
School  of  Nursing.  She  is  also 
Affiliated  with  the  Alpha  Beta 
Zeta  Chapter  of  Zeta  Phi  Beta 
Sorority  of  Jacksonville.  Florida. 
She  spoke  on  the  subject  "Learn 
to  Live  and  Live  to  Learn".  Ed- 
ward B.  Law  of  Savannah  fur- 


nished the  music  for  the  pro- 
gram. 

Following  the  address  and  the 
selections,  the  "Freshman  girl 
of  the  year"  was  selected.  Eu- 
dora  Moore  was  the  freshman 
selected  from  the  group  of  con- 
testants that  was  composed  of 
Gladystene  Thomas.  Lucile  Mit- 
chell, Eudora  Moore  and  Marie 
Roberts.  Yvonne  Hooks  was 
cited  during  the  program  for  be- 
ing the  freshman  girl  with  the 
highest  average  during  the  fall 
quarter  1955. 

Each  of  the  contestants, 
Misses  Hooks,  Harrison,  Ander- 
son, Miss  Anne  Jordan  and 
members  of  the  Zeta  Phi  Beta 
Sorority  ate  lunch  in  the  college 
dining  hall  after  the  program. 


Prince  Frank  Wynn  has  been 
selected  as  chairman  for  the 
Ninth  Annual  Men's  Day  Festi- 
val. George  B.  Williams,  Jr.,  Is 
the  assistant  chairman,  Isaiah 
Aloysius  Mclver  is  the  general 
secretary  and  Oliver  Vincent 
Swaby  is  the  assistant  secretary. 

The  date  for  the  festival  has 
not  been  selected,  but  the  event 
will  take  place  during  the  spring 
quarter. 

Last  year,  Dr.  M.  Gordon 
Brown,  the  assistant  Chancelor 
of  the  University  System  of 
Georgia,  opened  the  festival 
with  an  address  to  the  entire 
student  body.  The  names  of  the 
principal  speakers  for  this  year 
have    not    been    announced. 

A  theme  hasn't  been  selected 
for  the  festival,  but  a  great  deal 
of  emphasis  will  be  placed  on 
promoting  good  human  rela- 
tions. 

Last  year  over  100  awards 
were  made  and  75  per  cent  of 
these  awards  went  to  Louis 
Ford,  Richard  Washington  and 
Henry  Jackson.  Many  of  the 
freshmen  say  that  the  story  of 
last  year's  Men's  Day  Festival 
will  have  no  bearing  on  this 
year's  festival.  They  say  that 
they  are  not  going  to  win  all  of 
the  medals,  but  they  are  going  to 
make  sure  that  the  Freshman 
class  wins  the  majority  of  the 
awards. 

During  the  week  there  will  be 
a  radio  or  television  program,  a 
banquet,  religious  activities,  a 
social,  a  talent  show,  softball. 
basketball,  volleyball,  touch  foot- 
ball and  many  other  athletic  ac- 
tivities. 

The  part  of  the  festival  that 
keeps  everyone  on  pins  and 
needles  is  the  vesper  program 
where  the  students  are  an- 
nounced who  have  been  selected 
as  "Men  of  the  Year".  Three 
students  were  selected  last  year. 
They  were  Clarence  Lofton,  Cur- 
tis Cooper  and  George  Johnson.

nah State  College.  Here  to  lead

ThcF ih  Mr 


By  Isaiah  Molvcr 


The  majority  of  all  college  stu- 
dents are  quite  familiar  with  the 

I  luce    R's    that    they    have    been 

facing  nil  through  their  ele- 
mentary studies,  one  of  the  pri- 
mary reasons  that  they  have 
become  familiar  with  these  three 
R's  Is  bocause  these  are  the  basic 
and  essential  ingredients  that  all 
students  must  master  or  become 
fnmltlar  with  before  they  can  at- 
tain any  degree  of  success  In  the 
field  Hi1  education  or  any  other 
technical  urea, 

However,  the  fourth  R  is  Just 
as  Important  to  the  student  as 
the  mi  her  three,  it  is  true  that 
Students  need  Instructions  In 
reading  so  that  they  could  read 
the  great  Classics,  they  need  to 
know  hOW  to  write  In  order  to 
write  n  dissertation  should  they 
decide  to  study  for  a  doctorate 
and  in  order  for  them  to  solve 
problems  In  calculus  they  need 
to  lie  familiar  with  the  basic 
fundamentals  of  mathematics. 

However,  alter  (lie  student  Is 
taught  to  read  and  to  under- 
stand a  Greek  classic,  write  a 
research  project  or  solve  a  math 
problem,  he  thinks  that  he  has 
accomplished  everything. 

A  learner  may  have  accomp- 
lished a  great  deal  when  he  has 
come  to  master  the  three  R's, 
but  when  he  get.s  involved  In  sit- 
uations that  only  a  miracle  man 
can  solve,  he  forgets  those  three 
R's  and  reaches  back  for  the 
fourth,  Religion. 


In  some  colleges,  religion  Is 
playing  a  minor  role.  The  reason 
why  religion  seems  so  unattract- 
ive to  such  a  considerable  num- 
ber of  college  students,  is  a  prob- 
lem that  college  chaplains  have 
been  trying  to  solve  for  many 
years, 

A  large  number  of  the  colleges 
and  universities  are  not  permit- 
ted to  place  as  much  emphasis 
on  tlie  fourth  R  as  they  are  al- 
lowed to  place  on  the  other  three 
R's.  However,  this  lone  factor  is 
not  tlie  primary  reason  why  stu- 
dents fail  to  support  their  re- 
ligious programs  in  colleges. 

If  those  who  profess  Christian- 
ity would  rededicate  themselves 
to  the  faith  that  they  affirm,  the 
college  chapels  and  churches 
would  be  filled  every  worship 
day  with  our  leaders  of  tomor- 
row. 

The  role  that  religion  will  play 
in  a  student's  education  will  be 
determined  by  the  individual 
student.  Tlie  administrators  of 
the  various  colleges  are  spending 
the  student's  activity  fees  to 
bring  prominent  religious  and 
educational  leaders  to  the  var- 
ious campuses  for  Religious  Em- 
phasis Week  and  other  occasions, 
but  until  the  students  rededicate 
themselves  and  pledge  to  share  a 
portion  of  their  time  for 
religious  services,  religion  will 
continue  to  play  a  subordinate 
role  to  reading,  writing  and 
arithmetic  in  our  colleges  and 
universities. 


A  Student's  Prayer 


Author  Unknown 


V 


Father  God  .  .  .  May  the  fluor- 
escent lamp  be  my  burning  can- 
dle, the  desk  my  altar. 

May  these  days  as  a  student 
become  a  stewardship  of  myself. 

May  I  give  myself  to  the  busi- 
ness of  scholarship,  becoming  a 
careful    workman   for    thee. 

May  college  not  become  a  mere 
preparation  for  life  and  a  voca- 
tion, but  life  and  vocation  them- 
selves, meaningful  and  whole. 

Grant  that  I  may  see  as  sacri- 
ficial, my  study,  not  for  my  own' 
glory,  but  to  thy  greater  glory. 

I  would  learn  the  essential 
things  well.  I  would  desire  to  be 
of  real  service  to  the  world,  to 
see  fame  with  cool  eyes,  and 
failure  without  fear  of  reputa- 
tion. 


Recreate  me  sensitive  to  the 
great  problems  of  mankind,  to 
know  great  minds  and  invoke 
great  principles. 

Lead  me  to  treat  task  with  the 
courage  to  put  away  childish 
things  and  be  filled  with  great 
thoughts. 

May  the  awareness  of  debt  to 
parents,  friends  and  society  for 
the  cost  of  education,  make  an 
humble  man  of  me. 

Encourage  and  refresh  me 
when  I  come  to  think  of  my 
work  as  boresome,  drawn  out 
and  unproductive. 

Strengthen    me,    father,    as    a 

faithful  student  of  thy  word,  to 

answer  thee,  for  thou  hast  called 

me  into  thy  service  as  a  learner. 

Amen

The  time  is  rapidly  approach- 
ing when  the  delegates  to  the 
National  Republican  and  Demo- 
cratic Conventions  will  gather 
and  select  their  respective  party 
banner  bearer. 

Members  of  the  Republican 
party  have  been  in  somewhat  of 
a  dilemma  prior  to  President 
Eisenhower's  announcement  of 
his  decision  to  accept  the  nomi- 
nation if  he  Is  renominated,  but 
since  his  statement  to  the  na- 
tion there  Is  little  doubt  as  to 
who  will  be  the  Republican  nom- 
inee. There  is  a  question,  how- 
ever, as  to  the  nominee  for  the 
vice-presidency. 

President  Elsenhower  did  not 
endorse  Mr.  Richard  Nixon  as  a 
possible  running  mate.  However 
he  praised  Nixon  and  stated  that 
It  was  traditional  for  the  vice 
presidential  nominee  to  be  de- 
cided after  the  presidential 
nomination  was  made. 

A  poll  of  112  Republican  party 
leaders  by  the  Associated  Press 
revealed  that  32  per  cent  were 
in  favor  of  Vice  President  Nixon 
as  the  vice  presidential  nominee. 
Another  nine  per  cent  were  for 
Nixon  if  Eisenhower  wants  him. 
Less  than  three  per  cent  were 
for  someone  else. 

President  Eisenhower  is  now 
entered  in  primaries  in  eight 
states  and  Alaska  which  will 
have  a  total  of  340  votes  in  the 
1,323  vote  convention.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  "Ike"  will  receive  an 
additional  56  votes  from  Ohio's 
primary  where  Senator  Bricker, 
"a  favorite  son",  favors  Eisen- 
hower. Senator  Knowland  of 
California  has  withdrawn  from 
those  primaries  where  it  is  not 
too  late  to  withdraw.  He  too 
favors   Eisenhower. 

California's  Governor  Goodwin 
J.  Knight  suggested  to  Demo- 
cratic leaders  that  they  could 
become  "giants  in  American  po- 
litical history"  by  supporting 
President  Eisenhower  in  the 
forthcoming  election.  He  said 
that  there  are  many  Democratic 
leaders  who  "placed  patriotism 
above  partisan  politics"  to  sup- 
port Abe  Lincoln  in  his  bid  for  a 
second  term  during  the  War 
Between  the  States.  He  lauded 
President  Eisenhower  as  the 
"best  man  qualified  to  lead  our 
country  and  the  nations  of  the 
free  world." 

This  statement  concerning 
President  Eisenhower's  qualifi- 
cations is  supported  by  the  eco- 
nomic progress  of  the  nation.  It 
was  interesting  to  note  the 
changes  on  the  stock  market 
when  the  world  learned  of  the 
President's  heart  attack  and  the 
changes  when  he  announced  his 
capability  to  accept  the  Repub- 
lican nomination. 

It  would  truly  be  a  memorable 
event  if  leaders  of  both  parties 
placed  patriotism  above  partisan 
politics.  Our  political  leaders 
should  begin  to  think  in  terms  of 
the  things  that  will  benefit  the 
nation  as  a  whole  rather  than 
the  party's  appeal  to  the  voters. 

Governor  Knight's  attitude  is 
one  that  should  be  adopted  by 
many  more  of  our  nation's  lead- 
ers. 

As  for  the  Democratic  party. 
there  are  two  likely  prospects 
for  the  nomination  at  this  time. 
Both  Senator  Estes  Kefauver 
and  Adlai  E.  Stevenson  are  en- 
tered in  six  state  primaries  and 
Alaska.  However  they  will  clash 
in  only  four  states:  New  Hamp- 


shire, first  in  the  nation  on 
March  13;  Minnesota,  on  March 
20;  Florida,  and  California.  In 
addition.  Stevenson  Is  entered 
in  the  primaries  of  Hlinois  and 
Pennsylvania  while  Kefauver  is 
entered  in  New  Jersey  and  Wis- 
consin. 


Letter  Written 


By  J 


•  mi- 


The  following  is  a  copy  of  a 
letter,  written  by  our  Saviour, 
Jesus  Christ,  found  eighteen 
miles  from  Inconium,  forty- five 
years  after  our  Blessed  Saviour's 
Crucifixion;  transmitted  from 
the  Holy  City  by  a  converted 
Jew,  faithfully  translated  from 
its  original  Hebrew  copy,  now  in 
possession  of  the  Lady  Cuba's 
family  in  Mesopoamia.  This  let- 
ter was  written  by  Jesus  Christ, 
and  found  under  a  great  stone, 
both  round  and  large,  at  the  foot 
of  the  cross,  eighteen  miles  from 
Inconium,  near  a  village  called 
Mesopotamia.  Upon  the  stone 
was  written,  or  engraved, 
"Blessed  is  He  That  Turneth  Me 
Over".  People  who  saw  it  prayed 
to  God  earnestly,  and  desired  He 
would  make  known  to  them  the 
meaning  of  this  writing,  that 
they  might  not  attempt  in  vain 
to  turn  it  over.  In  the  meantime, 
a  little  child  turned  it  over  with- 
out any  help  to  the  shame  of  all 
that  stood  by. 
The  Letter; 

"Whosoever  worketh  on  the 
Sabbath  Day  shall  be  cursed.  I 
command  you  to  go  to  church, 
and  keep  the  Lord's  Day  holy, 
without  doing  any  manner  of 
work. 

"You  shall  not  idly  spend  your 
time  in  bedecking  yourself  with 
any  superfluities  of  costly  ap- 
parel and  vain  dresses,  for  I 
have  ordained  a  day  of  rest.  I 
will  have  that  day  kept  holy, 
that  your  sins  may  be  forgiven 
you.  You  shall  not  break  My 
commandments,  but  observe  and 
keep  them,  written  with  My  own 
hand,  and  spoken  with  My  own 
mouth.  You  shall  not  only  go 
to  church  yourself,  but  also  your 
men  and  maid  servants,  and  ob- 
serve My  words  and  learn  My 
commandments.  You  shall  fin- 
ish your  labor  every  Saturday  in 
the  afternoon  by  six  o'clock,  at 
which  hour  the  preparations  of 
the  Sabbath  begins.  I  advise  you 
to  fast  five  Fridays  in  every 
year,  beginning  with  Good  Fri- 
day, and  to  continue  the  four 
Fridays  immediately  following. 
in  remembrance  of  the  four 
bloody  wounds  I  received  for  all 
mankind.  You  shall  diligently 
and  peacably  labor  in  your  re- 
spective callings  wherein  it  hath 
pleased  God  to  call  you.  You 
shall  love  one  another  and  in  so 
doing,  I  will  give  you  a  long  life, 
and  many  blessings;  your  lands 
shall  flourish,  and  your  cattle 
shall  bring  forth  in  great  abund- 
ance; and  I  will  give  you  many 
blessings  and  comforts  in  the 
greatest  temptations;  and  he 
that  doth  the  contrary,  shall  be 
unprofitable— I  will  also  send  a 
hardness  of  heart  upon  them  as 
I  see  them,  but  especially  upon 
the  impenitent  unbelievers.  He 
that  hath  given  the  poor  shall 
not  be  unprofitable. 

"Remember  to  keep  holy  the 
Sabbath  day  for  the  seventh  day 
I  have  taken  to  rest  Myself;  and 
he  that  hath  a  copy  of  this  let- 
ter, written  with  My  own  hand, 
and  spoken  with  My  own  mouth, 
and  keepeth  it  without  publish- 
ing it  to  others,  shall  not  pros- 
per; but  he  that  publishes  it  to 
others  shall  be  blessed  of  men; 
and  though  his  sins  be  in  num- 
ber as  the  stars  in  the  sky.  and 
he  that  believes  in  this  will  be 
pardoned  and  if  he  believes  not 
this  writing  and  commandments, 
I  will  send  many  plagues  upon 
him.  and  consume  him  and  his 
children  and  his  cattle. 

"And  whosoever  shall  have  a 
copy  of  this  letter,  written  with 
My  own  hand  and  keep  it  in 
their  houses,  nothing  shall  hurt 


them,  neither  pestilence,  light- 
ning, nor  thunder  shall  do  them 
any  hurt.  And  if  a  woman  be 
with  child  and  in  labor,  and  a 
copy  of  this  letter  be  about  her, 
and  she  firmly  puts  her  trust  in 
Me,  she  shall  be  delivered  of 
her  birth. 

"You  shall  have  no  news  of 
Me,  but  by  the  Holy  Scriptures, 
until  the  day  of  judgment. 

"All  goodness  and  prosperity 
shall  be  on  the  house  where  a 
copy  of  this,  My  letter,  shall  be 
found." 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Louis  Hill  Pratt.  '58 


On  Solitude 

By  J.  Campbell,  Jr. 

Few  have  ever  experienced  the 
joys  and  delights  of  blissful  soli- 
tude. To  these  precious  few — 
moments  of  solitude  are  the 
most  rewarding  moments  that 
life  has  to  offer.  For  only  then 
is  the  manifestation  of  being 
clearly  and  distinctly  revealed. 
It  Is  during  these  solitary  mo- 
ments that  one  gains  fleeting 
and  evanescent  glimpses  into 
life's  ultimate  purpose. 

At  night  when  the  cacophonies 
of  the  day  have  subsided  a  soli- 
tary walk  through  the  woods,  in 
the  field,  or  along  the  water- 
front, fills  one's  soul  with  an 
infinite  degree  of  worth.  The 
omnipresent  feeling  of  one's  in- 
significance in  this  vast  universe 
is  cast  aside.  A  blithe  awareness 
of  one's  dignity  and  of  one's  re- 
lationship to  the  birds,  to  the 
trees  and  flowers— indeed,  to  all 
of  nature  is  revealed.  Without 
losing  one's  identity,  one's  self 
is  amalgamated  with  nature. 
Time  ceases.  So  profound  is  this 
fusing  of  one's  self  with  nature 
till  a  vague  and  nebulous  cons- 
ciousness of  existence  since  time 
immemorial  is  experienced  in 
the  inner  being. 

Solitude  brings  to  one  an  im- 
mense feeling  of  insouciance. 
There  is  a  dispensation  of  weari- 
ness, anxiety,  and  worry.  Pres- 
ent doubts  and  future  fears 
vanish.  The  body  and  the  soul 
are  free  from  all  concern.  The 
splendor  and  grandeur  of  the 
magnificent  universe  engulf  one 
with  awe.  Only  in  the  midst  of 
these  solitary  moments  does  one 
experience  true  happiness  with 
life. 

Such  are  the  rewards  of  soli- 
tude. But  few — precious  few — 
will  ever  reap  its  rewards.  The 
price  of  solitude  is  loneliness. 
Too  dear  a  price  for  most,  be- 
cause they  have  not  yet  learned 
t.o  live  with  themselves. 


Nine  Tigers  Say 
Goodbye 

When  the  final  buzzer  sound- 
ed in  the  championship  games 
that  were  played  between  Sa- 
vannah State  and  Albany  State 
College's  boys  and  girls  it  meant 
more  than  a  38-34  victory  for 
Savannah  State's  girls  and  a 
74-72  defeat  for  the  Savannah 
State  boys. 

\yfhis  final  signal  meant  that 
Savannah  State  was  losing  9  of 
the  best  basketball  players  that 
have  ever  performed  on  a  bas- 
ketball court  for  the  Tigers. 
Minnie  Kornegy,  Gwendolyn 
Keith,  Rosa  Lee  Moore,  Edith 
Ray  and  Gladys  Reddicks  have 
played  their  final  game  with  the 
Tigerettes  and  Otis  Jerome 
Brock,  Daniel  Nicholas.  L.  J. 
Daniels,  E.  Z.  McDaniels  and 
Richard  Washington  are  saying 
goodbye  to  the  Tigers  squad. 

All  of  these  graduating  Tiger- 
ettes and  Tigers  were  members 
of  their  high  school  basketball 
teams  and  several  of  them  have 
been  selected  to  the  all  confer- 
ence teams  at  least  once  during 
their  college  careers.

evaluation  session  and  a  report-

In  1950  this  Press  Institute  is 
endorsed  by  the  Georgia  Inter- 
scholastic  Association  was  or- 
ganized as  a  local  project,  but 
because  of  increased  interest, 
the  participation  now  includes 
schools  throughout  the  state  of 
Georgia,  and  nationally  famous 
consultants.  The  Institute  was 
organized  to  encourage  student 
publications,  to  extend  their  in- 
fluence, to  raise  their  standards, 
to  promote  the  belief  that  they 
are  means  of  education  and  not 
an  end  in  themselves,  to  con- 
sider them  as  media  of  expres- 
sion for  the  best  in  thought  and 
writing,  to  foster  a  sympathetic 
understanding  between  advisors, 
the  administration  of  schools 
and  the  community,  to  aid  those 
who  are  in  need  of  assistance,

Top  Cookie  Pushers 

According  to  a  recent  survey 
that  was  taken  on  the  campus  at 
the  beginning  of  this  month,  the 
following  students  have  been 
seen  pushing  more  cookies 
(holding  hands)  than  any  other 
students  on  the  campus  at  Sa- 
vannah state  College. 

Since  this  Is  Leap  Year,  it  has 
been  rather  hard  for  the  rating 
committee  to  decide  who  Is 
pushing  who.  However,  they 
agreed  that  Charles  Ashe  seems 
to  be  pushing  harder  than  ever. 
However,  Unlce  Lasslter  Is  trying 
to  take  the  advantage.  It  seems 
as  though  Wright  and  his  girl 
have  heard  the  record  "Chang- 
ing Partners"  too  much. 
Nevertheless  they  are  still  push- 
ing. James  Freeman  and  David 
Phllson  are  due  some  special 
recognition.  Jewel  Mitchell  and 
his  home  boy,  Willie  Batchelor, 
aren't  wasting  any  time.    Daniel 


Nicholas  seems  to  be  more  fortu- 
nate than  John  Arnold  who  is 
trying  to  make  a  strong  come- 
back. Andrew  Russell,  Wilbert

ner, L.  J.  Daniels  and  Russell

guys  who  have  held  the  most 
hands  during  the  month  of 
March. 


Nursery  School 

The  Nursery  School  at  Savan- 
nah State  College  under  the  di- 
rection of  Mrs.  Z.  E.  Owens,  pro- 
vides an  atmosphere  in  which 
the  children  can  make  emotion- 
al, mental  and  social  progress. 
The  teaching  of  academic  sub- 
jects is  not  the  primary  aim  of 
the  school.  At  this  school  the 
foundation  is  laid  for  the  three 
R's.  However,  subject  matter 
isn't  taught  until  the  child  es- 
tablishes good  relationships  with 
his  teacher  and  his  group. 

As  the  child  gains  confidence 
in    himself    and    his    knowledge

The  Gamma  Chi  Chapter  of 
the  Kappa  Alpha  Psi  Fraternity 
recently  collected  over  twenty 
dollars  from  the  students  and 
staff  here  at  Savannah  State 
College.  We  wish  to  thank  all  of 
you  for  your  generous  contribu- 
tions. 

about  the  world  is  increased,

the  picture.  Another  policy  of 
the  school  is  to  praise  the  child

good  or  bad.

State  College  will  sponsor  the 
Sixth  Georgia  Youth  Industrial

drawing,  shoe  repairing,  plaster- 
ing, tailoring  and  practical

essay  writing  and  DCT  oratorical 
contests. 

Last  year  a  new  phase  was 
added  to  the  Industrial  Arts 
Contest.  Students  presented 
projects  that  were  to  be  judged 
which  they  had  made  in  their 
schools.  This  will  also  be  an  out- 
standing feature  of  this  year's 
contest. 

For  the  participants  of  the 
many  contests,  the  Department 
of  Industrial  Education  here  at 
Savannah  State  College  has 
made  plans  for  the  awards  and 
entertainment  after  the  con-

i<-  Origin  of  Men's 


Day 


Ity     Isaiah     Mclver 


Savannah  State  College  spon- 
sored its  Ilrst  Men's  Day  Festi- 
val in  April  of  1948.  This  pro- 
ject which  wiis  designed  to  pro- 
mote liner  manhood  through 
constructive  activities  of  all 
types,  came  Into  being  as  a  re- 
sult of  the  untiring  efforts  of 
Henry  A,  Johnson  who  was  serv- 
ing as  president  of  the  Hill  Hall 
Dormitory  Council  and  Harrison 
Miller  who  served  as  chairman 
of  the  planning  committee, 

Until  1950  the  festivals  were 
sponsored  by  the  members  of 
Hill  Hall  Dormitory  and  other 
Interested  male  students.  Since 
this  event  became  so  popular, 
the  male  students  decided  to 
select  a  committee,  composed  of 
men  from  each  Campus  Organ- 
ization to  arrange  and  prepare 
programs  (or  the  event.  Mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  and  certain 
staff  members  were  also  Invited 
in  serve  on  committees  and  par- 
ticipate in  the  athletic  events, 
Because  of  the  cooperation  that 
has  been  given  this  project,  all 
of  the  participants  derive  great 


Joy  and  benefits  from  this  an- 
nual affair. 

Since  1952.  awards  have  been 
given  to  the  "Man  of  the  Year" 
for  excellence  of  character,  ef- 
fective leadership,  and  out- 
standing contributions  to  the 
school  community. 

In  1948  when  the  festival  had 
Its  beginning,  there  were  only 
four  events  and  the  program 
lasted  only  two  days.  The  ac- 
tivities that  were  sponsored  dur- 
ing this  initial  attempt  were: 
a  softball  tournament,  a  track 
and  field  meet,  a  banquet  and 
a  vesper  program.  Since  then 
this  program  has  steadily  grown 
and  now  It  covers  seven  days 
of  varied  activities.  Each  year 
an  elaborate  array  of  artistic, 
social,  educational,  religious,  and 
cultural  events  are  sponsored  by 
the  men  of  Savannah  State  Col- 
lege. 

The  primary  aim  of  the  fes- 
iival  Is  to  help  prepare  men  to 
shoulder  many  of  the  staggering 
responsibilities  and  grave  chal- 
lenges of  the  age  and  culture  In 
which  they  live 


Line  Crashing 

Johnny  Campbell,  Jr. 


It  is  doubtful  if  any  normal 
person  enjoys  standing  in  lines 
—even  pay  lines.  Lines  are  dis- 
gusting to  stand  In  and  everyone 
endeavors  as  much  as  possible 
to  avoid  them.  But  In  many  in- 
stances they  are  absolutely  nec- 
essary to  perform  a  particular 
job  in  the  most  efficient  and 
orderly  manner.  The  Intelligent 
person  realizes  this  and  though 
he  retains  an  aversion  to  lines, 
in  time  he  learns  to  bear  them. 

Registration  is  an  instance 
where  lines  are  indispensable 
for  the  performing  of  the  huge 
task  involved.  Judging  however 
from  the  childish  conduct  and 
attitude  of  many  students  on 
our  campus  during  registration, 
it  seems  as  though  this  elemen- 
tal truth  has  never  occurred  to 
them.  These  students  hold  the 
belief,  which  is  due  partly  to 
an  exaggerated  sense  of  self- 
importance  and  partly  to  lazi- 
ness, that  lines  are  only  for 
others  to  stand  in.  They  devote 
considerable  time,  energy,  and 
effort  to  the  devising  of  ingen- 
ious methods  by  which  they  can 
"crash"  the  lines.  It  is  indeed 
regrettable  that  such  diligence 
is  not  devoted  to  the  academic 


aspect  of  college  life.  If  it  were, 
the  results  would  be  most  re- 
warding. 

The  "line-crashers"  contribute 
much  to  the  general  confusion 
encountered  at  registration. 
Much  delay  in  the  movement  of 
the  line  can  be  directly  attribu- 
ted to  their  constantly  breaking 
of  the  line  by  such  tactics  as 
persuading  a  friend  to  let  them 
in,  or  by  pushing  their  way 
ahead  of  others.  The  end  result 
Is  the  creation  of  disturbance 
and  unrest  among  those  students 
who  are  standing  patiently  and 
intelligently  in  line  awaiting 
their  turn.  And  the  relative  ease 
In  which  the  "line-crashers"  are 
allowed  to  pursue  their  unfair 
practices  has  a  contagious  ef- 
fect on  others.  Many  who  would 
not  otherwise  resort  to  such  tac- 
tics do  so,  precisely  because  they 
can  get  away  with  it. 

No  amount  of  pleading  to  the 
"line-crasher's"  sense  of  Tight- 
ness will  be  enough  to  cause 
him  to  mend  his  ways.  This  type 
of  person  has  no  conception  of 
fairness  and  shows  no  consider- 
ation for  others.  Obviously,  what 
is  needed  is  closer  supervision 
of  the  registration  lines  by  some- 


The 
Periscope 


^ 


Much  of  the  trouble  around 
the  world  today  is  due  to  the  im- 
perialistic policies  of  certain  na- 
tions and  the  Communists  who 
are  constantly  stirring  up  trou- 
ble everywhere. 

The  British  have  been  suffer- 
ing one  setback  after  another  in 
many  of  thir  colonial  strong- 
holds. Their  present  hot  spot  is 
Greece,  where  the  people  are 
crying   for  self-detehmination. 

Only  recently  new  violence  has 
flared  out  because  of  the  execu- 
tion of  two  Cyprlots  by  the  Brit- 
ish Government.  Angry  Greeks 
rioted  against  the  United  States 
and  Great  Britain  The  crowd 
shattered  windows  in  the  build- 
ing housing  the  United  States 
Information  Agency  whose  func- 
tion is  to  seek  improvement  of 
understanding  among  the  West- 
ern Allies 

The  United  States,  morally 
supporting  the  Greeks'  fight  for 
self-government,  suggested  in- 
formally that  the  British  spare 
the  life  of  the  two  men  who  were 
called  terrorists  by  the  British, 
but  all  appeals  were  rejected. 

France's  Resident  Minister, 
Robert  Lacoste,  was  granted  spe- 
cial powers  last  March  to  put 
down  rebellion  in  Algeria.  He 
since  has  asked  for  reinforce- 
ments to  bring  his  forces  up  to 
380,000  troops.  Due  to  the  spring 
offensive  of  the  Nationalist 
rebel,  Lacoste  has  placed  martial

nah State  is  set  to  give  the  caller 
his  number. 

one  with  authority.  Perhaps  the 
humiliation  of  being  publicly 
ejected  from  the  line  and  placed 
at  the  end  where  he  rightfully 
belongs  would  be  sufficient 
treatment  to  eliminate  the 
"crashing"  of  lines.  At  any  rate, 
some  measure  is  needed  to  pro- 
tect those  students  who  watch 
helplessly,  while  some  self- 
styled  V.I.P.  "crashes"  the  line 
and  finishes  his  registration 
first. 


However  there  will  be  those  stu- 
dents who  will  fail  to  see  the 
good  features  of  Greek  Letter 
Organizations.  Those  students 
who  are  not  thinking  of  the  va- 
rious organizations  will  be 
thinking  more  strongly  on  how 
the  candidates  qualify  who  are 
trying  to  secure  such  positions 
as  student  council  president  or 
campus   queen. 

Those  students  who  are  in  the 
process  of  trying  to  decide  what 
organization  to  join  have  a  more 
serious  problem  than  those  who 
are  trying  to  select  the  best  in- 
dividuals to  positions  that  last 
only  one  year.  Greek  letter  or- 
ganizations are  going  to  be  a 
part  of  those  students  who  join 
for  a  life  time  and  when  they 
make  their  decisions  these 
choices  should  be  free  of  per- 
suasion from  any  particular 
group  since  they  will  have  to 
live  forever  with  the  group  that 
is  chosen. 

The  average  student  should 
be  in  a  position  to  make  his  own 
decisions  A  person  with  average 
intelligence  should  consider  it 
an  insult  for  someone  to  tell 
him  what  group  or  organization 
Is  best  for  him.  The  person  who 
tells  an  individual  that  he 
should  join  a  particular  group  is 
merely  telling  the  person  that 
he  is  incapable  of  thinking. 
Since  ail  college  students  should 
be  able  to  think  and  make  de- 
cisions, it  is  a  sign  that  we  are 
misplaced  when  we  allow  peo- 
ple to  persuade  us  to  think  or 
act  in  a  certain  manner 

The  path  to  Greekdom  is  tir- 
ing, rugged,  and  in  many  cases, 
seems  discouraging.  To  suc- 
cessfully travel  the  path  and 
reach  the  destination  one  has 
to  really  cherish  the  goal. 

There  are  some  students  who 
never  cherish  sororities  or  fra- 
ternities. However,  in  many  in- 
stances those  students  who  are 
not  in  love  with  Greek  letter  or- 
ganization and  the  Greeks  are 
all  concerned  about  who  will  be 
the  campus  queen  or  the  leader 
of  the  student  government. 

The  person  who  is  selected 
queen  and  the  individual  who 
is  elected  to  represent  the  stu- 
dent government  are  going  to 
be  our  choices  of  the  most  cap- 
able people  eligible  for  these  po- 
sitions. 

Since  these  people  after  they 
are  elected  are  going  to  be  our 
leaders  for  the  coming  year,  we 
should  select  those  candidates 
for  these  top  roles  who  impress 
us  as  individuals  who  will  rep- 
resent us  best  and  work  for  the 
best  interest  of  the  students 
and    the   school. 

In  making  decisions  the  fresh- 
men are  not  the  only  students 
who  are  eligible  to  vote  and 
make  certain  choices.  The 
sophomores,  trade  students,  jun- 
iors and  seniors  are  responsible 
for  selecting  students  to  repre- 
sent us  who  can  serve  well  in 
the  positions  that  they  will  be 
selected  to  fill. 


A   Season  for  Decisions 

Isaiah    Mclver 

During  the  spring  quarter  at 
Savannah  State  and  at  thou- 
sands of  other  institutions  of 
higher  learning  throughout  the 
United  States,  the  beginning 
students  who  are  commonly  re- 
ferred to  as  freshmen  are  grant- 
ed the  opportunity  for  the  first 
time  during  their  college  ca- 
reers to  make  choices  and  de- 
cisions that  will  affect  them  from 
one    year   to    a    lifetime. 

There  will  be  those  students 
who  will  be  trying  to  decide  what 
sorority    or    fraternity    to    join. 


Creative  Tribute 
Music 

It's  some  intangible  thing, 

With  melodious  magic  that  fills 
the  air 

To   many   it   thrills   the    inward 
soul 

Renews    the    spirit    of   those    in 
despair. 

To  the  throubled   mind   it's   so 
serene 

To  the  rejoicing  heart  it's  glad 

It   appeals   to   the   emotions   of 
every  heart 

To  some   though,  the   appeal   is 
only  sad 

A  song,  a  dream,  or  a  prayer 

Or  other  ways  too  enormous  to 
name 

Through    the    ways    of    expres- 
sions, it  changes  not 

The   intrinsic   appeal   still   re- 
mains. 

To  some   people   it's  Handel, 
Mozart,  Chopin

Or  Liberace  of  our  time 

To  others  it's  a  gift  of  God  to 

men 
Sacred,  and  utterly  sublime. 
One  feels  the  thing  but  he  knows 

not  what 
To  others  he  cannot  tell 
Like  a  huge  tide  it  engulfs  one 

up 
Unconsciously,  you  are  under  its 

spell. 
Through   music   many  hearts 

have  learned  to  love 
Many  hands  have  learned  to 

play 
Many  tongues  have  learned  to 

praise  Him  above 
In  this  special  way. 
Say  it's  the  speech  of  angels  as 

Carlyle  said 
Or    "medicine    of    the    breaking 

heart"  said  Hunt 
Or  just  simply  say  "an  art" 

instead 
For  one  describes  it  according  to 

his  needs.

Alpha   Kappa    Kappa   Mu    Honor 
Society  Holds  Annual  Convention 

By  Alice  Sevens 

The  Alpha  Kappa  Mu  Chapter 
of  Alpha  Kappa  Mu  Honor  So- 
ciety held  its  18th  annual  con- 
vention on  March  29-31  at  Mor- 
gan State  College  in  Baltimore 

Representing  Savannah  State 
College  were  Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  A. 
Bert  rand,  Mrs.  Marlene  McCall, 
Mr.  Henry  Johnson,  and  Dr. 
E.  K.  Williams 

At  the  convention.  Mr.  John- 
son participated  on  a  panel 
which  had  as  its  theme,  "The 
Role  of  the  Scholar  in  Im- 
proving Human  Relations."  Mr. 
Johnson  stated,  "It  Is  a  far  I 
that  in  our  country  we  tend  to 
class  ourselves  according  to 
socio-economic  status  and  na- 
tionality. Therefore,  it  is  a  role 
of  the  scholar  to  search  out  some 
of  the  basic  causes  underlying 
the  reasons  for  these  actions  and 
present  them  to  the  general  pub- 
lic. Scholars  must  live  among 
the  people  and  present  their 
ideas  to  the  people,  must  read 
all  information  with  regard  to 
human  relations  and  pass  It  on 
to  the  general  public." 

Dr.  E.  K.  Williams  was  re- 
elected to  the  National  Executive 
Committee  in  Baltimore. 

The  next  convention  will  be 
the  regional  of  which  Mr.  John- 
son is  president.  It  will  be  held 
at  Benedict  College  in  Columbia, 
S.   C,  on   April   28.

These  uprisings  are  Indicative 
of  the  desire  of  men  to  be  free 
and  the  desire  to  govern  them- 
selves. Even  now  many  of  the 
states  of  Asia  are  tension  spots. 

Estes  Kefauver,  one  of  the 
leading  contenders  for  the  Dem- 
ocratic nomination,  suffered  a 
major  setback  In  the  New  Jersey 
primary.  Unopposed,  he  expect- 
ed to  have  defeated  the  state 
machine  headed  by  Governor  Ro- 
bert E.  Meyner  for  the  36  dele- 
gates voles.  For  his  work  he  won 
exactly  one-half  of  one  delegate 

vole  with  35W  going  to  Meyner's 

stale  who  favor.s  Stevenson. 

Even  though  assured  the  7-1 
votes  of  Pennsylvania  by  Gover- 
nor George  Leader  and  Pitts- 
burgh's Mayor  David  Lawrence, 
Stevenson  Is  still  highly  skeptic-

titled  "Boxing  1959,''  appears  in 
the  February  Issue  of  PLAYBOY, 
the  entertainment  magazine  for 
men, 

Moore,  the  38-year-old  light 
heavyweight  champion,  still 
ranks  as  Rocky's  number  one 
contender  because  of  his  show- 
ing against  The  Rock  in  their 
bout  last  year,  But  it  Is  doubtful 
that  Marclano  and  Moore  will  be 
matched  again.  The  champion- 
ship was  Marelano's  all  the  way. 

Best  bet  to  beat  Marclano 
comes  with  Floyd  Patterson  In 
1057,  writes  Pazdur.  Patterson, 
21,  copped  the  1052  Middleweight 
Olympics  championship  and  is 
the  top  light-heavyweight  con- 
tender. 

"Once  Patterson  has  won  the 
crown,"  predicts  Pazdur,  "he 
should  wear  It  for  a  long  time." 

Archie  Moore  rules  the  roost 
of  the  light-heavyweights-  Top 
challengers  are  Floyd  Patterson 
and  Harold  Johnson,  but  Pat- 
terson's managers,  already  look- 
ing toward  a  match  with  Mar- 
clano, are  not  expected  to  throw 
their  boy   against  Moore. 

The  most  promising  newcomer 
to  the  llght-hcavywelght  ranks, 
says  Pazdur,  Is  Willie  Pastrano. 
Because  Johnson  and  Bob  Sat- 
terfleld  have  been  beaten  by 
Moore  and  because  Patterson  Is 
being  held  to  challenge  The 
Rock,  Pastrano  may   be   pushed 


into  a  title  fight  with  Moore 
prematurely. 

Sugar  Ray  Robinson  made  a 
remarkable  comeback  and  de- 
feated "Bobo"  Olson  in  the  sec- 
ond round  of  their  Dec.  9  mid- 
dleweight title  bout 

The  Robinson-Olson  rematch 
will  be  a  "honey"  says  the  PLAY- 
BOY article.  If  Sugar  Ray  loses, 
he'll  almost  certainly  retire.  But 
whichever  fighter  wins,  he  can 
look  for  trouble  from  Eduardo 
Lausse,  the  hard-hitting  South 
American. 

The  welterweight  title  has 
changed  hands  three  times  In 
the  past  year  and  a  half.  Johnny 
Saxton  won  it  from  Kid  Gavllan 
and  lost  It  to  Tony  DeMarco. 
But  Saxton,  after  several  impres- 
sive wlctorles,  seems  the  next 
logical    contender. 

Wallace  "Bud"  Smith  success- 
fully defended  his  lightweight 
title  against  three-times  ex- 
champ  Jimmy  Carter.  But  Car- 
ter Is  now  past  his  peak,  Ralph 
Dupa.s  and  Duillo  Loi  are  the 
only  fighters  with  any  chance  of 
upsetting    Wallace. 

Sandy  Saddler,  featherweight 
champion,  has  a  record  of  143 
wins  and  only  15  losses.  Former 
champion  Willie  Pet  is  still 
fighting,  but  poses  no  threat 
to  Saddler  who  should  hold  his 
title  for  a  few  more  years.  Sad- 
dler's most  promising  contender 
Is  21-year-old  Carmelo  Costa,

Lillian,  freshman,  has  been  se- 
lected "Mother  of  the  Year"  by 
students  of  Savannah  State  Col- 
lege. 

This  year,  in  order  to  assure 
every  mother  of  having  an  equal 
chance  of  being  selected,  all 
students  were  asked  to  submit 
the  names  and  addresses  of 
their  mothers.  These  names 
were  dropped  in  a  box  which 
had  been  placed  in  the  lobby  of 
Meldrim  Hall  for  three  days  for 
that  purpose. 

At  the  end  of  those  three  days, 
in  the  presence  of  officers  of 
student  personnel  services,  the 
name  of  Mrs.  Bradshaw  was 
drawn  as  the  1956  "Mother  of

Apathy  Among  Our  Students 


Apathy  Is  a  feeling  which 
exists  among  far  too  many 
students  on  our  campus.  Their 
Indifference  is  manifested  In  vlr- 
tually  every  phase  of  college  life 
that  is  not  concerned  with  the 
trifle  or  satiated  with  foolish- 
ness. Not  only  are  these  stu- 
dents  apathetic  towards  ac- 
tivities pertaining  to  college,  but 
they  show  the  profoundesL  lack 
of  Interest  to  state,  national,  and 
International  affairs. 

They  fiaunt  their  Indifference 
about  by  not  attending  Impor- 
tant meetings,  going  to  class  late 
and  unprepared,  or  more  con- 
spicuously by  not  going  at  all. 
In  the  same  manner  to  which 
absent-mindedness  is  Identified 
with  genius  and  professors,  so  to 
these  students  Is  indifference 
associated  with  the  "sophisticat- 
ed" student.  Not  knowing  nor 
caring  about  what  Is  taking 
place  on  the  campus,  or  in  the 


world  Is  a  "mark  of  distinction" 
which  too  many  of  us  are  striv- 
ing to  achieve. 

Apathy  can  only  lead  to  one 
thing— ignorance.  Today  num- 
erous social  and  economical 
changes  are  constantly  taking 
place.  It  Is  sheer  folly  for  any- 
one, especially  students,  to  re- 
main unaware  of  them  simply 
because  they  are  seemingly,  of 
no  Interest  to  them,  It  is  ex- 
tremely difficult  to  contemplate 
how  u  student  can  regard  him- 
self as  receiving  an  education 
while  remaining  apathetic  to 
that  which  he  is  being  taught 
and  to  those  changes  that  are 
occurring  dally  in  the  world. 

Let's  hope  that  the  present 
wave  of  apathy  Is  merely  a  fad 
like  "rock  and  roll"  music  and 
that  In  time  it  will  pass  away 
without  having  harmed  us  too 
much.

Do  We  Have  a  Disciplinary  Committee 


Before  students  were  sent 
home  for  certain  violations  of 
the  college  rules,  they  once  had 
to  go  before  the  Disciplinary 
Committee.  However,  several 
students  have  been  sent  home 
this  school  term  for  certain  vio- 
lations without  even  being  given 
this  opportunity.  Ine  some  of 
the  cases,  the  Disciplinary  Com- 
mittee was  not  consulted. 

It  is  possible  that  those  stu- 
dents In  this  group,  who  were 
denied  the  privilege  of  appear- 
ing before  the  Committee,  were 
unaware  that  such  a  body  oper- 
ated on  the  campus. 

It  Is  evident  that  the  students 
who  were  sent  home  are  not  the 
only  persons  who  do  not  know 
that  such  a  committee  exists. 

If  the  students  stand  by  and 
fall  to  demand  the  privileges 
that  they  are  supposed  to  enjoy, 
there  will  always  be  those  who 
will  play  the  role  of  dictators 
and  demand  that  the  students 
do  what  they  consider  proper. 

America  Is  supposed  to  be 
governed  by  democratic  individ- 
uals who  abide  by  the  principles 
that  are  characteristic  of  a 
Democracy. 

The  students  know  when  their 
rights  have  been  Infringed  upon, 
but  the  Idea  of  being  expelled  or 
unpopular  with  the  members  of 
the  faculty  prevent  them  from 
reminding  those  in  authority 
that  their  thinking  may  have 
serious  flaws. 

Since  the  Disciplinary  Com- 
mittee is   composed   of  students 


and  faculty  members,  it  only 
stands  to  reason  that  Judgment 
passed  by  this  group  is  more 
sound  than  the  decision  handed 
down  by  a  single  individual  or  a 
small  group  of  Individuals. 

If  a  group  that  Is  organized  to 
perform  a  certain  function  in  a 
certain  manner  does  not  operate 
when  It  is  necessary  for  It  to  op- 
erate, the  organization  should 
be  discontinued  or  reorganized. 
Since  the  committee  has  been 
unaware  of  the  happenings  this 
term,  they  should  be  informed 
and  made  to  perform  the  duties 
for  which  It  was  organized, 

Each  organization  has  a  spe- 
cific role  to  play.  Certain  deci- 
sions cannot  be  made  by  two  or 
three  Individuals.  In  our  society 
Important  decisions  are  made  by 
a  representative  group. 

Representation  was  one  of  the 
factors  that  aided  in  the  delay 
of  the  adoption  of  our  constitu- 
tion. The  Disciplinary  Commit- 
tee is  composed  of  a  representa- 
tive group.  Since  this  commit- 
tee is  representative  of  the  col- 
lege, the  students  should  prefer 
that  this  body  prform  the  job 
for  which  it  was  organizd. 

Students  are  familiar  with  the 
rules  governing  certain  issues. 
They  know  when  they  have  vio- 
lated a  law  and  most  of  them  do 
not  mind  suffering  the  conse- 
quences. However,  when  they 
suffer,  they  want  their  penalties 
presented  from  the  proper 
source. 


Greeks  and  Value 

I-  Mclver 

According  to  the  Student 
Handbook,  the  president  of  the 
College's  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association  and  the  President  of 
any  of  the  sororities  or  fraterni- 
tlcs  receive  five  points  each  for 

ervlng  In  these  capacities.  All 
of  these  organizations  stress 
brotherhood  and  sisterhood. 
However,  many  students  place 
more  value  or  emphasis  on  their 
fraternities  or  sororities  than  on 
any  other  organization  to  which 
they  belong. 

This  added  amount  of  value 
and  emphasis  which  Is  placed  on 
Greek  Letter  Organizations  is 
and  has  been  one  of  the  major 
reasons  why  certain  Jobs  are  not 
performed  eflclently  by  capable 
Individuals. 

The  Instant  that  we  are  a 
member  of  organization  X,  we 
begin  to  feel  that  organization 
X  Is  the  only  group  that  has  in- 
dividuals who  are  capable  of 
performing  certain  important 
tasks,  even  though  the  weakest 
member  of  organization  A  may 
be  superior  to  the  top  man  in  or- 
ganization X. 

Most  fraternity  and  sorority 
members  are  aware  of  the  fact 
that  some  links  of  a  chain  are 
weaker  than  others.  Being 
aware  of  this.  It  Is  impossible  for 
them  to  fail  to  realize  that  even 
though  the  members  of  their 
particular  group  are  brothers  or 
sisters,  some  are  not  capable  of 
performing  the  duties  that  are 
connected  with  particular  jobs. 

They  realize  that  some  of  the 
individuals  that  they  support 
are  not  qualified  for  certain  po- 
sitions. However,  their  pettiness 
and  affiliation  prevent  them 
from  doing  what  Is  proper. 

Sororities  and  fraternities  are 
great  organizations.  They  pro- 
vide a  home  away  from  home 
and  give  its  members  a  feeling 
of  belonging.  They  also  sponsor 
many  social  and  educational  ac- 
tivities for  their  members  and 
non-members.  The  members 
compete   among  themselves. 

Competition  is  a  great  thing 
when  it  is  used  wisely.  However, 
on  many  college  campuses,  com- 
petition among  the  Greeks  tends 
to  be  more  detrimental  than 
beneficial. 

It  is  only  natural  for  a  mem- 
ber of  a  particular  group  to  ad- 
mire it  and  strive  for  its  perfec- 
tion. However,  our  admiration 
should  not  be  the  only  basis  upon 
which  we  base  our  decisions  and 
choices. 


Message    From    The    President 


Service  to  Humanity 

By  Carter  Peek 

This  motto,  selected  by  the 
senior  class  of  1956.  is  indeed  one 
deserving  attention  and  elabora- 
tion. Just  what  does  it  mean  to 
serve  humanity? 

Ever  since  man  first  put 
forth  his  hand  to  partake  of  the 
fruit  of  the  tree  called  "knowl- 
edge of  good  and  evil,"  it  has 
been  his  lot  to  toil  and  turn  for 
subsistance.  Yet,  an  open  door 
was  left  for  man  to  decide  how 
It  should  be  attained.  This  deed 
also  caused  man  to  be  placed  on 
a  road  that  has  only  one  end 
and  that  is  unforeseeable.  As 
man  walks  down  the  long  and 
scroggy  pathway,  who  will  be 
there  to  give  him  advice,  show 
him  how  to  read  the  road  signs, 
how  to  add  the  mileage,  and 
take  the  wisest  steps? 

Seeing  and  knowing  man's 
lasting  duty  which  is  unavoid- 
able one  need  not  go  far  or  study 
wide  to  appreciate  assistance,  a 
well  performed  job  or  good  deed. 
Man's  duty  is  being  constantly 
lessened  by  modern  advance- 
ments, but  without  someone's 
willingness  to  serve,  much  would 
be  missed. 

"Service  to  Humanity"  should 
not  be  taken  lightly.  This  motto 
embodies  many  things,  some  of 
which  to  state  would  be  but  a 
trifle,  but  to  go  about  fulfilling 
will  present  varying  problems 
One  for  example  is  that  of  tak- 


Duties  and   Responsibilities 

College  students  often  find  it  difficult  to  develop  and  establish 
comprehensive  concepts  of  their  duties  and  responsibilities  as  citi- 
zens of  a  college  community.  In  many  instances,  their  sole  concern 
is  centered  about  earning  academic  grades,  particularly  the  passing 
grade.  Beyond  that  point  they  feel  that  they  should  exercise  the 
privilege  of  irresponsibility. 

The  tremendous  effort  which  college  officials  make  to  keep 
buildings  and  grounds  in  first-class  condition  Indicates  how  little 
assistance  Is  given  to  these  items.  This  same  frame  of  mind  extends 
also  to  other  phases  of  students'  college  life.  The  lackadaisical  man- 
ner In  which  they  assume  responsibility  and  participate  in  then- 
own  organization,  provides  evidence  of  this  undeveloped  area.  The 
responsibilities  of  students  lie  in  other  areas  than  attending  class 
and  paying  their  bills  promptly.  The  students  who  consider  these  as 
their  chief  duties  and  responsibilities  reduce  the  value  of  their  col- 
lege education  to  a  bare  minimum  College  activities  and  student 
organizations  constitute  a  large  percentage  of  the  available  educa- 
tional opportunities  in  any  institution.  In  almost  every  college  the 
class  organizations,  clubs,  societies,  special  Interest  groups,  and 
teams  provide  unusual  opportunities  for  one  to  educate  himself  in 
working  and  living  with  others. 

The  alarming  lack  of  interest  noted  in  the  adult  population  in 
community  activities  is  being  increased  by  students  returning  from 
college.  It  is  fallacious  to  think  that  interest  in  community  life  and 
affairs  will  blossom  in  them  once  they  have  received  their  degrees. 
The  habits  of  thinking,  working,  and  participation  formed  by  stu- 
dents In  college  will  be  influential  in  the  determination  of  their 
roles  beyond  the  college  walls.  The  trend  to  include  interest,  wishes, 
and  participation  of  youth  in  all  aspects  of  our  society  is  increasing 
the  demand  for  individuals  who  are  concerned  about  total  com- 
munity welfare  and  advancement.  Opportunities  to  learn  how  to 
participate  properly  and  effectively  are  numerous  in  student  organ- 
izations and  the  more  or  less  formal  groups  found  on  a  college 
campus.  Such  a  concept  emphasizes  the  participation  of  all  students 
in  several  activities  in  addition  to  those  that  have  been  established 
as  traditions.

ing  a  leadership  position  and 
realizing  the  harm  that  can  be 
done  through  slight  errors.  How 
about  the  teacher  .  .  .does  he 
with  a  class  of  30  students  con- 
sider the  value  of  each  student, 
and  his  individual  weakness- 
es? Does  he  make  sure  that  the 
student  has  been  exposed  to  the 
right  kind  of  material,  or  does 
he  just  "fall  in  line"?  It  is  quite 
easy  to  follow  the  crowd,  but 
with  this  motto  it  might  be 
sometimes  necessary  to  take  dif- 
ferent courses. 

The  attempt  to  serve  human- 
ity calls  for  continued  prepara- 
tion and  added  skills  to  face 
ever-changing  problems. 

With  these  things  in  mind,  let 
everyone  consider  the  depth  and 
width  of  this  weighted  arm  .  .

Cryptophobia 

By  I.  Mclver 

Of  the  many  phobias  from 
which  people  are  suffering,  it 
seems  that  CRYPTOPHOBIA  is 
the  most  wide-spread.  The  peo- 
ple who  suffer  from  this  serious 
disease  are  those  unfortunate 
individuals  who  find  the  art  of 
keeping  secrets  something  that 
is  unnecessary  and  unimportant. 

People  who  spill  their  secrets 
plus  the  secrets  of  their  friends 
are  suffering  from  this  disease 
referred  to  as  cryptophobia. 
These  individuals  may  be  con- 
sidered among  the  greatest  of 
the  menaces  that  society  has  to 
encounter  because  they  destroy 
character,  homes,  and  many  val- 
uable principles  and  goals. 

Since  we  come  in  contact  with 
people  who  are  suffering  from 
this  malady  so  often,  we  some- 
times fail  to  realize  how  much 
harm  can  be  done  by  individuals 
in  this  predicament. 

Anyone  who  spends  a  portion 
of  his  leisure  or  employed  hours 
to  spread  and  secure  informa- 
tion on  people  that  they  are 
familiar  or  unfamiliar  with  may 
be  classified  as  sufferers  of  this 
dreaded  phobia. 

Individuals    who    suffer    from 

this    disease    are    steadily    at-

The  theme  selected  for  this 
year  was  "It's  a  Woman's  World." 
Since  this  Is  Leap  Year  there 
•ould  be  no  more  suitable  time 
for  the  ladles  to  display  then- 
charms  than  during  the  spring 
season.  The  young  ladies  dis- 
play their  charm  every  week,  but 
they  were  more  charming  this

tempting  to  tear  down  the  cha- 
racter and  the  goals  of  people 
about  whom  they  have  only 
heard  or  read.  In  many  instances 
these  same  people  who  can't 
keep  secrets  tear  themselves  to 
destruction  without  being  aware 
that  they  are  ruining  their 
chances  to  progress  when  they 
talk  without  caution  in  small 
and  large  gatherings. 

It  is  said  that  a  canine  that 
has  a  habit  of  bringing  bones 
home  will  eventually  carry  one 
away.  Since  most  of  us  know 
that  things  can't  always  come  in 
without  ever  d  e  p  a  r  1 1  n  g,  we 
should  be  more  careful  of  what 
we  say  to  those  who  are  always 
bringing  information  and  ideas 
to  us  concerning  issues,  individ- 
uals or  groups.  Eventually  this 
same  informer  who  keeps  you 
informed  will  start  spilling  your 
secrets  if  you  become  careless 
and  start  talking  too  freely- 
Even  more  serious  than  hav- 
ing a  person  to  spill  your  intri- 
cate affairs  is  the  danger  of 
contracting  this  very  contagious 
malady.  Millions  of  people  are 
suffering  from  this  horrible  sick- 
ness and  if  you  aren't  extremely 
cautious,  you  too  will  unknow- 
ingly become  a  victim.

the  children  enrolled  in  the  Sa- 
vannah State  College  Nursery 
School,  made  a  tour  of  the  vari- 
ous farms  in  Chatham  County. 
This  tour  was  made  possible 
through  the  cooperation  of  Mr. 
E.  H.  Harmond.  Agricultural

The  Junior-Senior  Prom 

On  Friday  night^May  25,  1956 
the  Junior  Class  entertained  the 
Seniors  at  the  annual  Junior- 
Senior  Prom. 

The  Juniors  worked  diligently 
in  order  to  make  this  the  type 
of  affair  that  the  Seniors  will 
gladly  enter  into  their  books  as 
one  of  the  most  memorable  af- 
fairs that  they  have  witnessed 
at  Savannah  State  College. 

The  Theme  for  this  year's 
prom  was  "Stairway  to  the 
Stars".  The  Juniors  dedicated 
to  the  Seniors  the  motto  "Edu- 
cation is  a  Journey  and  not  a 
Destination." 

Music  for  the  promenade  wa_s 
rendered  by  Walter  Langston's 
Band.  All  selections  were  dedi- 
cated to  the  seniors.    "Love  Is  A 


Many-Splendored  Thing"  was 
the  selection  that  the  Juniors 
selected  to  be  played  for  seniors 
only. 

Freshman  boys  and  girls  and 
their  guests  danced  to  the  music 
of  Walter  Langston  and  his  or- 
chestra as  they  celebrated  "A 
Night  in  Paris"  in  Wilcox  Gym- 
nasium on  Saturday  evening. 
May  12. 

Hattie  Peek  is  the  Freshman 
queen  and  Willie  Hamilton  is 
President  of  the  class.  Miss 
Mary  Ella  Clark  and  Mr.  Am- 
jogollo  E.  Peacock  are  advisors 
to  the  class. 

Attendees  reported  that  this 
was  a  much-enjoyed  soiree

Johnny:  Make  it  an  old  rusty

Just  a  Rabbit 
A  Sunday  School  teacher 
asked  her  class  about  many  men 
of  the  Bible.  First.  Matthew, 
Mark,  Luke  and  John,  but  there 
was  still  no  answer  Finally  she 
said  who  was  Peter?  A  little 
voice  in  the  back  said.  "I  tlnk, 
he  wuz  a  rub-bit."

"My  mother  cooks  beans,"  said 

another  pupil.

His  salary  for  substitute  teach- 
ing in  1954-55  was  thirteen  dol- 
lars per  day. 

His  record  as  a  substitute 
teacher,  his  ability  to  get  jobs 
done,  his  tact  and  art  of  getting 
along  with  people,  his  general 
intelligence,  his  neatness,  his 
punctuality,  and  his  dependabil- 
ity were  some  of  the  factors 
which  enabled  him  to  secure  his 
present  job.

LINDSBORG,    KANSAS— 
(ACP)    —    Sharon    Moffat,    the 


"Swid  Bits"  columnist  for  the 
Bethany  College  Messenger,  re- 
cently listed  these  daffynltlons:

HYPOCRITE— undertaker  try 
Ing  to  look  sad  at  a  thousand 
dollar  funeral, 

in  the  same  column,  there  was 
this  example  of  college  progres- 
sion : 

FRESHMAN  -I  don't  know. 

SOPHOMORE— I  am  not  pre- 
pared. 

JUNIOR— I  do  not  remember. 

SENIOR— I  don't  believe  1  can 
add  anything  to  what  has  al- 
ready been  said, 

incidentally,  Bethany  College 
has  started  an  Interesting  drive 
to  enroll  more  students  in  the 
school.  A  contest  began  Febru- 
ary 13,  offering;  a  $10  cash  prize 
to  the  Individual  writing  the 
most  letters  inviting  prospective 
students  to  enroll  at  the  college. 
A  cash  prize  of  $15  will  go  to  the 
organization  responsible  for  the 
most  admissions,  The  two 
classes  writing  the  most  letters 
will  be  entertained  at  an  all- 
school  parly  given  by  the  two 
losing  classes.  Regardless  of  the 
program's  success  in  bringing  In 
new  students,  it  should  certainly 
stimulate  school  spirit.

Business  DepL 

Holds  Institute 

The  Department  of  Business, 
in  cooperation  with  the  Mid- 
Town  Life  Insurance  organiza- 
tions of  Savannah,  held  its  an- 
nual Business  Institute  on  May 
4,  in  Meldrim  Auditorium,  using 
as  its  theme,  "Career  Opportuni- 
ties in  Life  Insurance."  For  gen- 
eral information  to  all  students, 
the  Institute  discussed  life  in- 
surance as  a  whole,  explaining 
its  beginning,  what  it  is,  and 
how  it  serves, 

Mr.  J.  A.  Singleton,  manager 
of  the  Afro-American  Life  In- 
surance Company,  was  the  prin- 
cipal speaker  for  the  opening 
session  and  for  the  general  as- 
sembly. At  the  opening  session 
he  gave  a  history  of  the  life  in- 
surance business. 

The  second  phase  of  the 
morning  session  was  a  panel, 
with  Mr.  C.  Bernard  Nichols. 
Agency  Officer.  Guaranty  Life 
Insurance  Company,  as  modera- 
tor. Serving  on  the  panel  were 
W.  J.  Bush,  manager,  North  Car- 
olina Life  Insurance  Company. 
who  discussed.  "What  Is  Insur- 
ance, and  How  Is  Serves,"  S.  R. 
Insurance  Company,  discussing 
"The  Insurance  Market,"  and 
G.  S.  May ,  manager,  Pilgrim 
Health  and  Life  Insurance  Com- 
pany, discussing  the  various  job 
opportunities  in  insurance.  Mr. 
Nichols  reviewed  the  life  insur- 
ance program  and  conducted  a 
question  and  answer  period. 

In  explaining  what  insurance 
is,  it  was  brought  out  in  the 
presentation  that.  "It  might 
make  a  happier  world  and  it 
certainly  would  make  a  safer 
one — if  we  could  live  our  lives 
without  running  any  risks  what- 
ever; if  we  could  live  in  houses 
which  can  never  burn,  and  own 
property  which  can  never  be 
stolen,  and  know  that  nothing- 


can  ever  happen  to  us  or  our 
families.  This  kind  of  life  is 
not  possible  and  because  it  isn't 
possible,  we  have  insurance" 
President  Payne,  in  his  remarks 
to  the  assembly  stated,  "There 
was  a  time  when  people  would 
take  chances.  Now  they  take  in- 
surance." 

In  the  discussion  of  career  op- 
portunities in  life  insurance,  it 
was  explained  that  while  col- 
lege business  training  is  not  re- 
quired for  many  of  the  jobs  in 
life  insurance,  it  is  highly  desir- 
able. Insurance  companies  em- 
ploy actuaries,  physicians,  law- 
yers, engineers,  and  other  work- 
ers, the  largest  group  are  em- 
ployed as  agents  and  brokers, 
the  largest  group  of  all  are 
agents. 

It  was  brought  out  that  wo- 
men too  find  employment  as 
secretaries,  clerks,  typists,  busi- 
ness machine  operators,  and  as 
agents. 

In  explaining  the  importance 
of  the  salesman  to  a  company, 
Mr.  Nichols  stated  that,  "noth- 
ing happens  until  the  salesman 
makes  it  happen." 

Mr.  Walter  S.  Scott,  President 
of  Guaranty  Life  Insurance 
Compaiy,  Savannah,  and  Dr. 
William  K.  Payne,  President  of 
Savannah  State  College,  were

THE  TIGER'S  ROAR 


Vol.  0,   No.    10 


ELEMENTARY  WORKSHOP  members  emphasized  health  during 
their  first  session  study.  Mrs.  Thelma  M.  Harmont,  Mr.  Dorothy  C. 
Hamilton,  and  R.  J.  Martin,  directors,  are  standing  in  the  last  row,

Elementary  Workshop 
Geared  to  Students" 
Interests 

The  1956  Elementary  Educa- 
tion Workshop  of  Savannah 
State  College  operating  for  the 
first  session  (June  11-July  14 ) 
culminated  a  series  of  enrich- 
ing experiences  whose  results 
will  be  evaluated  best  in  terms  of 
more  meaningful  curriculum  of- 
better  class  room  organization, 
ferings,  and  wiser  use  of  school 
time  for  the  boys  and  girls  of 
school  age  in  the  counties  and 
communities  represented  in  the 
workshop. 

"Broadening  Our  Concepts  of 
Teaching  and  Learning  Through 
Meaningful  Experiences"  was 
the  general  theme.  Since  the 
Georgia  State  Department  of 
Education  has  alerted  its  teach- 
ers to  the  health  needs  of  its 
people,  the  Workshoppers  pulled 
from  this  a  sub-theme  which  was 
"iinriching  and  Extending  Out 
Environment  Through  Emphasis 
in  Health."  All  teaching  and 
planning  irrespective  of  area  had 
a  health  emphasis. 

The  group  of  36  in-service 
teachers  took  a  look  at  education 
today  in  terms  of  its  objectives 
and  conscientiously  sought  to 
find  better  ways  and  means  of 
achieving  them.  Headed  by  a 
staff  of  top  flight  consultants 
the  teachers  worked  courageous- 
ly and  zealously  to  find  methods, 
techniques,  and  a  philosophy  to 
guide  them  towards  their  de- 
sired goals. 

The  Workshop  staff  included 
Mis.  Thelma  M.  Harmond,  of  the 
Department  of  Education,  Sa- 
vannah State  College,  Mrs.  Dor- 
thy  C.  Hamilton,  Principal  of 
Powell  Laboratory  School,  Sa- 
vannah, Georgia,  and  Mr,  R.  J. 
Martin,  Principal  of  Ballard- 
Hudson  High  School,  Macon, 
Georgia.  Special  consultants  in 
area  phases  of  the  workshop 
were:  Miss  Althea  Williams,  Li- 
brarian. Savannah  State  College; 
Dr.  W.  K.  Murray,  Reading  Spe- 
cialist of  A  &  T  College,  Greens- 
boro, North  Carolina ;  Dr.  W. 
Metz,  Department  of  Special 
Education,  Chatham  County 
Board  of  Education,  Savannah. 
Georgia;  Mr.  Phillip  J.  Hamp- 
ton, Art  Instructor;  Mrs.  G.  H. 
Abernathy,  D  e  p  t.  of  Physical 
Education;  Mr.  W.  H.  M.  Bowens, 
Dept.  of  Audio-Visual  Aids;  Mr. 
Eugene  Isaac  and  Dr.  Rutherford 
Lockette  of  the  Division  of 
Trades  and  Industries.  All  of 
these  except  those  indicated 
were  from  the  Savannah  State 
College,  Savannah,  Georgia. 

There  were  18  counties  of 
Georgia  and  two  counties  of 
South  Carolina  were  represented 


in  the  workshop.  The  36  In-ser- 
vice teachers  and  the  counties 
they  represent  include  —  Mrs. 
Mattie  P.  Mathis  Hicks,  Liberty 
County;  Mrs.  M.  T.  Crowford, 
Chatham  County;  Mrs.  Kathryn 
B.  Morton,  Richmond  County;

and  Mrs.  Anne  Luten  Richard- 
son. Chatham  County. 

The  techniques  in  the  work- 
shop this  year  emphasized  learn- 
ing by  doing.  The  teachers  were 
asked  at  the  outset  to  establish 
their  problems  and  to  indicate 
special  areas  in  which  they  felt 
help  was  needed  most.  This  was 
done    and    the    needs    classified. 

Other  features  of  the  work- 
shop that  contributed  greatly  to 
the  broadening  experiences  to 
which  the  teachers  were  subject- 
ed were  the  specially  planned 
weekly  assemblies,  chapel  pro- 
grams, lyceum  numbers,  group 
socials,  and  educational  tours. 
The  tours  were  carefully  planned 
and  proved  to  be  extremely  help- 
ful in  broadening  participants' 
professional  knowledge  of  the 
state's  resources  generally,  and 
sea-faring  trade  in  particular. 
The  boat  ride  viewing  the  Sa- 
vannah Harbor  Industries  and 
the  trip  to  Hilton  Head,  S.  C. 
were  singular  experiences  that 
added  much  to  the  learning  and 
entertaining  experiences  of  the 
workshop  group. 


SSC  Presents  First 
Lyceum    Feature 

Musical  Portraits,  a  New  Eng- 
land trio,  was  presented  at  Sa- 
vannah State  College  on  Thurs- 
day. July  5  in  Meldrim  Auditor- 
ium. This  program  was  the  first, 
in  the  Summer  Lyceum  series  at 
the  college.  Featuring  a  bari- 
tone, soprano  and  pianist,  ths 
Musical  Portraits  was  the  brain- 
child of  pianist-arranger  Dana 
Lordly,  whose  aim  was  to  com- 
bine opera  in  English,  concert 
and  musical  comedy,  and  present 
them  in  a  new  and  entertaining 
fashion. 

The  members  of  the  group  met 
in  the  somewhat  sacred  halls  of 
Boston's  famed  New  England 
Conservatory.  Discovering  t  h  e 
suppressed  boredom  that  so  oft- 
en accompanied  the  formal  re- 
cital approach,  they  conceived  a 
program  Idea  that  would  Incor- 
porate their  serious  musical  and 
dramatic  training  into  scenes 
and  skits  that  featured  lavish  ar- 
rangements of  music  the  whole 
world  knew  and  loved.  In  an 
original  student  production  at 
this  same  school,  Mr.  Lordly's 
music  and  dialogue  poked  gentle 
fun  at  the  over-scholarly  ap- 
proach to  serious  music,  and  the 
resounding  success  of  the  pre- 
sentation launched  the  Musical 
Portraits  on  frolicksome  tours 
from  Maine  to  Florida. 

Breaking  from  the  tradition  of 
using  the  established  dialogue  of 
musical  comedy  scenes,  the  trio 
preferred  to  set  their  arrange- 
ments Into  situations  that  every- 
one would  recognize:  a  scene  In 
a  living  room  of  a  museum,  or  a 
husband  and  wife  dispute  over 
a  television  set.  Amusing  dia- 
logue gave  audiences  the  oppor- 
tunity of  viewing  and  laughing 
at  themselves  on  stage,  while 
more  serious  music  lovers  found 
satisfaction  in  the  simplicity  of 
solo  selections  and  deft  staging 
of  opera  scenes  in  English.  And 
above  all.  it  became  evident  that, 
to  the  Musical  Portraits,  music 
was  fun.  and  here  was  the  oppor- 
tunity for  their  listeners  to 
share  the  enthusiasm  of  three 
young  people  with  a  new  and 
novel  approach  to  the  music 
they  love. 


SSC  Players 
Present  Dramatic 
Comedy

Adopting    t  Positive 

Johnny  I 

The  most  elusive  of  nil  man's 
quests  Is  his  eternal  quest  for 
life's  ultimate  purpose  and 
meaning.  Although  unable  to 
find  any  suitable  answer  to  this 
perplexing  problem,  man  with 
his  finite  mind,  continues  to 
struggle  trying  dosperatoly  to 
relate  his  existence  on  earth  to 
some  higher  purpose  than  more 

life  Itself. 

In  the  face  Of  SUCh  a  dilemma, 
many  have  taken  the  positive 
approach  to  life,  They  earnest- 
ly believe  that  life  has  u  higher, 
more  noble  purpose  that  is  evi- 
dent, unci  their  lives  are  predi- 
cated on  that  assumption.  They 
live  in  accordance  with  the  mor- 
al principles  that  have  proven 
their  worth   through   the  ages; 

their  lives  are  useful  nncl  bene- 
ficial to  i  hemselves  and  to  so- 
ciety. 

On  the  other  hand,  there  are 
those  who  consciously  or  uncon- 
sciously negate  life.  In  their  de- 
spnlr  they  have  decided  that  life 
has  no  ultimate  omening— that 
existence  Is  a  very  fleeting  phen- 
omenon and  that  one  had  better 
"live"  while  one  Is  alive.  Re- 
jecting all  moral  principles,  their 
thinking  become  nihilistic,  and 
their   lives   an   endless  series  of 


Attitude  Towards  XAfe 

iampboll  ii 
Intrigues  In  which  they  attempt 
to  satisfy  their  ego  at  any  cost, 

frequently  Justifying  the  means 
by  the  end. 

Much  of  the  cheerfulness  asso- 
ciated with  youth  transforms  In- 
to the  gloom  and  despair  of  old 
age  because  of  the  Individual's 
[allure  to  adopt  a  positive  atti- 
tude towards  life  while  young. 
Bent  with  the  years,  too  old  to 
partake  of  life's  pleasures,  and 
disbelieving  In  life's  ultimate 
purpose,  these  people  have  noth- 
ing to  look  forward  to — but  in- 
evitable  death. 

It.  Is  while  one  Is  In  college, 
when  one's  philosophy  of  life  Is 
slowly  culminating,  that  one 
ought  to  adopt  and  put  into 
practice,  a  positive  attitude  to- 
wards life.  An  attitude  founded 
on  firm  moral  principles  and 
based  on  the  belief  that  life  Is 
not  Just  an  endless  series  of  fun 
and  lollies— but  rather,  that  life 
was  created  with  a  purpose 
which  embraces  all  form  of  life 
— from  the  lowest  creature  of  the 
sea,  to  the  highest  of  man.  If 
such  an  attitude  were  adopted 
and  cultivated,  all  mankind 
would  greatly  benefit  and  the 
gloomy,  pessimistic,  thoughts  of 
old  age  would  never  prevail. 


//  /  U  ere  a  Fr 

By  Eteube 

You  are  anxiously  looking  for 
the  words  so  often  spoken  by 
college  students  up  on  gradua- 
tion. But  you  are  now  in  for  a 
big  surprise.  For  If  I  were  a 
freshman  again,  my  approach 
and  attitude  would  not  differ 
greatly  from  what  they  have 
been. 

Let  me  take  you  back  to  the 
morning  of  January  4,  1954.  I 
got  up,  ate  breakfast,  and  wan- 
dered around  all  day  from  hall 
to  hall  like  a  sailboat  at  sea 
without  sails.  By  January  of 
1956.  I  would  still  have  to  wander 
from  hall  to  hall  in-order  to  be 
officially  enrolled  in  college. 

I  think  it  is  indeed  part  of  the 
college  life  for  Mr.  Ingersoll  to 
send  an  entering  freshman  back 
for  some  advisor  to  check  his 
registration  card  to  make  sure 
that  he  has  a  course  in  western 
civilization  under  Dr.  Dean  in  his 
freshman  year.  Or  when  one 
gets  to  the  cashier,  to  be  sent 
back  to  Mr.  Miller  to  have  an- 
other 10  dollars  added  to  his  bill. 

If  I  were  a  freshman  again,  I 
would  not  spend  any  more  time 
in  the  library  than  I  have  done. 
The  library  Is  not  the  only  source 
of  information  and  knowledge 
awaiting  anyone  who  goes  there- 
in. In  the  student  body  is  also 
a  rich  course  of  knowledge,  wis- 
dom and  information  awaiting 
anyone  who  demands  it.  If  you 
have  now  concluded  that  I  am 


eshman  Again 

n  Cooper 

Implying  that  college  students 
should  not  spend  a  great  deal  of 
their  time  in  library,  your  con- 
clusion Is  wrong.  I  am  —  em- 
phatically—stating  that  if  half 
ol  the  time  students  spent  in 
the  library  was  used  wisely,  and 
for  the  purpose  it  should  be, 
there  would  need  be  no  great 
concern  about  the  students' 
reading  habits, 

If  I  were  a  freshman  again,  I 
would  quietly  go  about  the  cam- 
pus with  a  goal  and  determina- 
tion, being  mindful  to  keep  the 
purpose  of  my  coming  here  fore- 
most In  mind. 

Many  students,  I  observed, 
somehow  get  confused  in  their 
values  and  they  try  to  make  the 
college  conform  to  their  individ- 
ual purposes  and  desires.  This  is 
impossible  to  do  and  college  be- 
comes to  them  all  but  what  they 
would  have  it  be. 

If  I  were  a  freshman  again  I 
would  join  any  organization  on 
the  campus  that  has  as  a  goal, 
to  .perpetuate  brotherhood, 
scholarship,  mutual  understand- 
ing, and  the  fellowship  of  men. 
On  the  contrary,  I  would  not 
join  any  organization  that  had 
publicity  only  as  its  purpose. 
Organizations  are  supposed  to 
serve  their  members  in  all  as- 
pects of  growth.  When  an  organ- 
ization fails  to  do  that  it  has  lost

The  entrance  of  John  Ther- 
man  Cooper  to  the  senate  race, 
Democratic  activities,  the  airline 
investigation,  the  Kremlin's  re- 
lease of  their  economic  activity, 
satellite  unrest  and  President 
Elsenhower's  letter  to  Chiang 
Kai-shek,  are  the  focus  spots  of 
America's  attention. 

Ambassador  to  India,  John 
Therman  Cooper  has  entered  the 
senate  race  from  Kentucky  at 
the  request  of  President  Eisen- 
hower. This  move  was  taken  as 
part  of  Republican  eforts  to  re- 
gain control  of  Congress  in  No- 
vember. 

Connecticut  Democrats  added 
an  unexpected  20  votes  to  the 
first  ballot  strength  of  Adlai 
Stevenson  at  next  month's  Dem- 
ocratic national  convention. 
Stevenson,  winding  up  a  "listen- 
ing tour"  among  farmers  In  Mid- 
western states,  said  he  found 
that  "many  farmers  are  going 
broke,"  and  called  Republican 
claims  of  prosperity  "a  mockery" 
under  such  conditions. 

Stevenson  suffered  one  setback 
during  the  week  as  Gov.  H.  B. 
(Happy)  Chandler  won  control 
of  the  Kentucky  state  Democrat- 
ic organization  and  930-vote  na- 
tional convention  delegation 
over  the  forces  of  Senator  Cle- 
ments. 

Former  President  Harry  Tru- 
man, returning  from  a  European 
tour,  lunched  with  Harriman 
and  Stevenson.  He  told  news- 
men however,  that  he  hopes 
someone  other  than  Sen.  Estes 
Kefauver  of  Tennessee  will  be 
the  Democratic  standard  bearer. 

The  Civil  Aeronautics  Board 
chief  investigator  said  today 
that  the  two  plane  Grand  Can- 
yon air  catastrophe  was  "definite 
collision"  and  added  that  pri- 
mary flight  responsibility  before 
the  crash  rested  with  the  Trans- 
World  pilot. 

William  K.  Andrews,  C.  A.  B. 
director  of  safety  Investigation, 
vVashington,  told  a  House  Com- 
merce Subcommittee  hearing: 

"I  would  not  hesitate  to  say 
that  it  was  a  definite  collision." 

Earlier,  he  testified  that  "TWA 
had  full  responsibility  for  main- 
taining separation  'of  the  two 
airliners  after  it  had  changed 
flight  plans. 

The  TWA  Superconstellation 
and  United  DC  7  collided  over 
Grand  Canyon  on  June  30  with  a 
loss  of  128  lives.  It  was  history's 
worst  commercial  aviation  disas- 
ter. Both  planes  were  east- 
bound  from  Los  Angeles  and 
took  off  only  three  minutes 
apart. 

Across  the  ocean,  the  Kremlin 
has  released  statistics  regarding 
their  economic  activity. 

Early  this  month  in  Moscow, 
the  central  statistical  adminis- 
tration of  the  Soviet  government 
issued  a  260  page  compilation  of 
basic  figures  on  Soviet  economic 
activity.  It  was  the  first  such 
collection  of  data  to  be  issued 
since  before  World  War  II  and  it 
is  more  complete  than  anything 
published  in  the  U.S.S.R.  since 
the  mid-30's  before  Stalin's  great 
purge. 

Elsewhere  in  the  world,  satel- 
lite unrest  is  likely  to  force  a  re- 
turn to  terror. 

The  present  Soviet  leadership 
has  got  itself  into  a  mess  of 
trouble  by  its  relaxation  of  the 
iron  discipline  of  the  Stalin  era, 
and  it  is  difficult  to  see  how  the 
Kruschei-Bulganin  regime  is  go- 
ing to  stay  in  the  Kremlin  un- 
less it  impasses  once  more  the 
restrictions  it  has  been  denounc- 
ing so  vigorously. 

The  entire  communist  world 
appears  to  be  in  ferment.  Re- 
ports from  behind  the  Iron  Cur- 
tain indicate  unrest  which  could 
lead  to  move  uprisings  such  as 
the  bloody  revolt  in  Porzan, 
Poland  last  week. 


Appetites  and  tastes  play  an  important  part  in  living.  These 
terms  when  first  mentioned  often  suggest  things  to  eat.  An  exten- 
sion of  the  concepts  would  lead  one  into  various  aspects  of  living. 
Just  as  the  variety  of  things  to  eat  has  increased  rapidly,  so  have 
appetites  and  tastes  increased  in  other  areas  of  living.  One  often 
wonders  what  people  mean  when  they  use  the  expression  "This  is  the 
life".  To  some  it  means  a  special  type  of  enjoyment  of  living;  to 
others  It  is  a  momentary  special  bit  of  enjoyment. 

The  things  which  people  like  and  enjoy  are  determined  by  oppor- 
tunities and  cultivation.  If  one  observes  infants  and  watches  the 
way  in  which  their  tastes  and  likes  grow  and  increase,  it  is  pos- 
sible to  draw  a  similar  parallel  in  other  areas.  Many  college  stu- 
dents wonder  why  they  become  bored  with  certain  types  of  music, 
recreation,  art,  philosophy,  and  religion.  In  the  majority  of  these 
cases,  the  lack  of  interest,  appreciation  and  understandings  may 
be  attributed  to  the  absence  of  previous  experiences  and  opportuni- 
tls  to  learn. 

The  concepts  of  life  which  college  students  wish  to  set  up  as 
goals  or  ideals  might  be  developed.  The  extension  of  the  idea  and 
breadth  of  the  concepts  of  life  can  be  developed  just  as  any  other 
aspect  of  life.  Those  who  wish  to  enjoy  the  best  in  literature,  art, 
science,  music,  entertainment,  fellowship,  neighborliness,  and  re- 
ligion can  reach  their  objectives  by  planning  experiences  in  the 
respective  areas.  The  life  or  enjoyment  which  one  considers  impor- 
tant for  himself  can  be  planned.  College  students  will  find  that  the 
tastes  and  the  appetites  they  possess  need  not  be  so  limited.  Wher- 
ever there  is  a  desire  to  extend  and  increase  one's  concepts  of  good 
living  there  are  definite  possibilities. 


The  Right  To  Vote 


In  the  United  States  of  America  we  as  citizens  of  a  free  and 
independent  country  enjoy  many  freedoms;  freedoms  of  speech 
freedom  of  religion  and  freedom  of  the  press.  These  freedoms 
which  we  now  enjoy  have  been  fought  for  in  blood  and  sorrow,  ana 
in  winning  the  battle  the  people  in  the  early  history  of  this  country 
took  steps  in  preserving  this  country  as  a  free  nation.  In  taking 
these  steps  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  came  into  exist- 
ence. In  this  Constitution,  along  with  the  freedoms  I  have  previously 
mentioned,  the  right  to  vote  was  established.  To  me  this  is  one  of 
the  most  important  freedoms  a  free  nation  could  have.  Unlike  most 
Iron  Curtain  countries  of  the  world,  the  American  people  have  the 
right  to  select  the  persons  whom  they  wish  to  represent  them  in 
local,  state,  and  national  government.  But  even  having  this  free- 
dom of  choice  in  a  democratic  country,  some  of  the  citizens  fail  to 
realize  the  importance  of  their  vote  and  hesitate  to  use  it.  Your  vote 
is  your  voice  in  the  government  and  in  selecting  someone  to  repre- 
sent you,  you  must  choose  your  candidate  wisely. 

During  the  past  four  years,  the  American  people  have  been  con- 
fronted with  many  problems  in  local,  state,  and  national  affairs.  The 
vote  of  a  person  or  group  of  persons  can  vote  a  candidate  into 
office  or  vote  him  out.  In  the  1952  presidential  election,  with  Eisen- 
hower running  at  the  head  of  the  ticket,  the  Republican  Party  won 
a  major  victory,  one  that  had  not  been  won  since  Herbert  Hoover' 
time.  The  people  of  the  United  States  votd  this  administration  ink 
office  and  the  Republicans  controlled  Congress  for  two  years,  but  ir. 
1954  these  same  people  who  voted  them  into  office,  voted  them  om 
and  th  Democratics  were  out  front  again. 

The  reasons  for  the  Republicans'  downfall  in  1954  may  be  de- 
bated in  many  ways,  but  it  is  not  my  wish  to  discuss  these  reasons 
but  only  to  point  out  the  fact  that  your  vote  can  determine  the  fu- 
ure  state  of  your  country's  welfare. 

The  year  1956  is  elecion  year  again  for  the  selection  of  a  capable 
person  to  represent  the  United  States  Government,  The  American 
people  are  more  concerned  with  the  presidential  lection  this  year 
than  they  were  four  years  ago,  because  since  then  many  issues 
concerning  the  president's  administration  have  been  in  th  spotlight 
and  they  will  have  great  significance  in  the  electing  of  president 
Before  using  your  vote,  there  must  be  a  careful  examination  of  all 
events  concerning  your  country.  First  of  all  study  the  achievements 
and  mistakes  of  the  present  administration,  make  an  evaluation  of

Nescience  and  Indolence 

By  I.  Mclver 

Many  writers  agree  that  nescience  and  indolence  are  two  of  the 
greatest  obstacles  that  person  has  to  overcome.  It  has  been  proved 
that  these  two  maladies  which  are  present  among  every  group  are 
as  prevalent  among  the  students  of  our  colleges  and  universities  as 
they  are  among  those  who  do  not  attend  institutions  of  higher 
learning. 

These  sicknesses  are  not  permitted  to  spread  as  rapidly  in  educa- 
tional institutions  as  they  do  in  the  outside  world,  but  all  of  us  must 
agree  that  without  the  injection  of  the  proper  counteraction,  these 
infirmities  would  be  as  communicable  on  our  campuses  as  they  are  in 
most  undesirable  communities. 

Both  of  these  maladies  tend  to  retard  our  progress.  However, 
indolence  has  been  proved  to  be  the  more  destructible  of  these  con- 
tagious disorders. 

In  a  surrounding  where  people  are  industrious  and  mentally 
alert,  there  are  happiness  and  security.  However,  in  an  environment 
where  indolence  and  nescience  prevail,  indigence,  infirmities,  pov- 
erty, and  contamination  are  the  dominating  peculiarities. 

The  impediments  that  these  maladies  cause  can  be  overcome 
if  we  attempt  to  grasp  a  yearning  to  become  informed  on  all  preva- 
lent issues,  strive  to  spend  every  minute  and  second  in  attaining 
worthy  goals,  and  abstain  from  groups  of  environments  where  as- 
siduous individuals  are  not  in  preponderance.

its  desired  purpose  and  becomes 
detrimental  to  its  members. 

As  I  look  back  over  my  college 
career  I  have  no  regrets.  There- 
fore, I  have  no  reason  to  con- 
clude that  if  I  were  a  freshman 
again  I  would  do  differently.  I 
admit  that  I  have  made  many 
mistakes  and  have  had  prob- 
lems. But  if  I  could,  by  some 
means,  go  back  to  my  freshman 
year,  I  undoubtedly  would  make 
many  mistakes  and  have  numer- 
ous problems. 

One.  as  a  freshman,  doesn't 
normally  behave  as  a  senior. 
Then  why  does  it  not  seem  reas- 
onable for  a  freshman  to  act  in 
the  light  of  his  experiences  and 
time?  Being  exposed  to  knowl- 
edge, interacting  with  others  in 
a  different  environment  over  a 
period  of  time,  and  the  contin- 
ued growth  toward  maturity. 
would  obviously  cause  anyone  to 
think  differently  and  approach 
problems  in  a  differently  man- 
ner. This  does  not  mean  that  he 
should  be  criticized  for  past  ac- 
tion and  conduct. 

If  I  were  a  freshman  again,  I 
would  approach  problems  from 
the  point  of  my  past  experiences 
and  knowledge  of  that  day.  I 
should  receive  the  same  honor 
and  satisfaction  from  doing  so. 

I  realize  that  some  things  I 
could  have  done  I  did  not  do. 
That  shall  be  true  as  long  as  the 
earth  remains.  When  I  have  sin- 
cerely acted  according  to  my 
conscience  and  the  power  within 
me,  it  is  hard  for  me  to  look  back 
and  conceive  of  myself  doing 
things  in  my  freshman  year  that 
I  have  not  done.

Conferences  Are  For  Fun,  Too 

By  Miss  Luella  Hawkins,  Librarian 

Miami  Beach,  Florida,  the  land  of  sunshine  and  hotels— whose 
business  is  entertainment,  beckoned  more  than  3500  librarians,  trus- 
tees, teachers,  and  friends  of  the  library  to  the  75th  Annual  Ameri- 
can Library  Association  Conference.  June  17-23.  1956. 

This  was  one  of  the  largest  attended  Conferences  of  the  Associa- 
tion—so much  was  offered  for  the  delegate  who  likes  to  mix  fun 
with  business.  The  kind  officials  streamlined  the  Conference  so 
that  most  of  the  afternoons  were  free  for  the  enjoyment  of  this  re- 
sort setting  of  the  1956  meeting.  Not  until  our  speeding  train  was 
passing  miles  upon  miles  of  orange  groves  did  we  begin  to  catch  the 
enchantment  of  this  land  of  wonder.  U  was  fortunate  enough  to 
have  Mrs.  Howard  Jackson,  formerly  a  teacher  at  Powell  Laboratory 
and  now  at  Spencer  School,  join  me  for  the  trip). 

Our  introduction  to  the  Beach  was  by  way  of  Collins  Avenue,  the 
street  of  fabulous  hotels.  Made  us  think  of  "Alice  in  Wonderland". 
The  Fontainbleau  and  The  Eden  Roc.  the  newest  additions  to  The 
Avenue",  were  the  official  headquarters  for  the  Conference.  The 
morning  of  the  first  day  was  given  to  registration  and  getting 
acquainted— not  so  much  with  other  librarians,  but  with  our  setting, 
Our  first  business,  and  charming  it  was.  was  to  attend  a  tea  at  the 
Miami  Public  Library  given  In  honor  of  the  John  Cotton  Dana 
Award  Winners.  (The  awards  were  given  for  outstanding  publicity 
in  public  libraries.) 

The  official  opening  session  on  Monday  night  featured  a  preview 
private  showing  of  the  Columbia  film,  "Storm  Center,"  starring 
Bette  Davis.  The  story  dealt  with  the  self-appointed  book-banners 
and  book-burners,  committees  and  organizations  that  use  the  slo- 
gans of  democracy  to  suppress  that  necessary  prelude  to  freedom  of 
thought,  the  freedom  to  read  on  all  sides  of  a  question.  While  the 
problem  is  not  so  acute  as  it  once  was,  librarians  agree  that  It  Is  sttll 
very  real. 

"A  case  for  Notable  Books",  from  the  viewpoint  of  author,  pub- 
lisher, critic,  and  librarian— a  panel  discussion,  was  the  highlight  of 
the  Second  General  Session.  Joseph  Barnes,  editor.  Simon  and 
Schuster,  almost  built  "A  Case  Against  Notable  Books".  He  asked. 
"For  What?  and  For  Whom?  are  the  Notable  Books  Chosen."  He  fell 
that  the  librarians  were  not  as  objective  as  they  might  be  In  their 
selection.  He  noted  the  dearth  of  fiction  on  the  list  and  inquired 
about  the  omission  of  the  best  selling  novel.  Kantor's  "Anderson- 
ville".  He  also  said  that  by  the  same  token  the  1956  publication  and 
best  seller  O'Connor's  "Last  Hurrah"  might  be  omitted  from  the 
next  list.  The  latter  title  he  considered  one  of  the  clearest  cut  pic- 
tures of  our  political  system  that  has  been  written  in  a  long  time. 
i  Why  don't  you  check  on  some  of  the  forty-six  titles  Included  in 
the  1955  list  and  set  up  your  Case  For  or  Against  Notable  Books?) 
gram  that  had  just  been  received.    The  President  had  signed  into 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  panel,  President  Richards  read  a  tele- 
law  the  Library  Services  Bill.  This  bill  has  been  in  the  making  since 
October  1,  1945,  when  the  American  Library  Association  opened  its 
Washington  Office.  It  will  help  the  states  provide  free  local  public 
library  service  for  the  many  millions  of  people  who  do  not  now  enjoy 
this  privilege. 

The  Children's  Library  Association  honored  the  winners  of  the 
Newberry  and  Caldecott  Awards.  I  did  not  attend,  but  I  was  interest- 
ed as  I  do  know  their  books.  Rojankovsky  received  the  Caldecott 
Medal  for  the  best  illustrations  for  a  children's  book  with  his  "Frog 
Went  A-Courting",  and  Jean  Lee  Latham,  the  John  Newberry  Medal 
for  The  Most  Distinguished  Contribution  to  American  Literature  for 
Children  with  her  "Carry  on,  Mr.  Bowditch".  'Find  time  soon  to 
read  these  Medal  winners.) 

The  Storytelling  Festival,  .also  sponsored  by  The  Children's  Li- 
brary Association,  was  an  innovation  this  year  and  the  tickets  for 
every  session  were  at  a  premium.  We  attended  the  Thursday  session 
where  Mrs.  Frances  Clarke  Sauers.  storyteller,  author,  and  lecturer 
on  children's  literature,  from  Los  Angeles,  California,  brought  to  us 
the  wonderful  land  of  storybooks  with  her  telling  of  parts  of  "The 
Wonder  Smith  and  His  Son,"  "Old  Dire  Dragaman,"  and  "The  Hare 
and  the  Hedgehog." 

Mrs.  Jackson  attended  the  Workshop  on  Introducing  Books  to 
Young  People,  and  I  devoted  all  my  unscheduled  time  to  Circle  o? 
Information  sessions  on  Library  Buildings.  Tours  of  the  libraries 
in  the  vicinity  and  general  sightseeing  tours  were  enjoyed. 

Fun  we  did  have,  but  I  cannot  say  that  we  were  unhappy  Friday 
afternoon  when  we  went  aboard  the  SS  Florida  that  was  to  take  us 
on  an  overnight  cruise  to  Havannah.  Cuba.  More  than  200  of  the 
Miami  delegates  joined  the  Association  sponsored  tour  to  visit  Cuban 
libraries  and  to  talk  to  Cuban  librarians.  Most  were  airminded  and 
took  the  slow,  but  enjoyable  boat  trip.  From  the  time  our  ship 
could  leave  Saturday  morning  for  the  one-hour  flight;  some  few 
cruised  past  Morro  Castle  and  docked  until  we  again  boarded  for  our 
trip  home,  there  was  a  round  of  activities  that  was  tailored  to  suit  all. 

Saturday  afternoon  a  luncheon  was  held  in  the  Hotel  Nacional — 
our  headquarters — honoring  our  hosts  and  hostesses,  the  Cuban 
librarians.  A  tour  of  the  libraries  of  the  city  followed  The  Biblioteca 
Nacional  (National  Library  of  Cuba)  was  preparing  to  occupy  their 
magnificent  new  structure  now  almost  completed.  The  Biblioteca 
General  de  1  aUniversidad  de  la  Habana  (University  of  Havannai 
was  opened  for  our  visit  although  the  summer  session  had  not  yet 
begun.  The  Biblioteca  de  la  Sociedad  Economica  del  Pais  is  a  beauti- 
ful library  whose  reading  room  and  small  auditorium  face  an  open 
court.  All  the  libraries  were  using  the  same  schemes  for  organization 
that  are  followed  in  this  country. 

Saturday  evening  we  were  on  the  town.  The  famed  Club  Tropi- 
cana  was  our  headquarters  for  the  night.  Dancing  and  music  might 
be  internationally  understood,  but  I  missed  so  much  of  the  show  be- 
cause all  the  comedy  acts  were  in  Spanish.  Made  me  wish  I  had 
taken  advantage  of  our  classes  at  the  College. 

Sunday  morning  was  given  to  general  sightseeing.  One  of  the 
most  beautiful  buildings  I  have  ever  seen  is  the  Capitolio  Nacional. 
It  covers  two  city  blocks  and  cost  approximately  seventeen  million 
dollars  when  it  was  erected  <  1925-1929).  The  ceiling  of  the  Reception 
Hall  is  decorated  in  delicate  hand  painting  and  finished  in  22  carat 
gold  leaf.  On  the  floor  at  the  center  of  this  Hall,  directly  under  the 
great  dome,  is  set  a  24  carat,  blue-white  diamond.  This  precious 
stone  serves  as  the  "mileage  stone  of  Cuba"  and  sets  the  starting 
point  of  the  Central  Highway  marking  the  "zero  kilometer".  Our 
guide  said  the  stone  had  been  stolen  once,  but  that  it  had  been  re- 
turned by  parcel  post.  Since  then,  improved  safety  measures  guard 
this  jewel. 

The  President's  Palace,  Lady  of  Mercy  Cathedral,  rum  distillery 
i drinks  on  the  house),  Columbus  Cathedral,  and  The  Market  Place 
were  part  of  our  itinerary. 


A  word  on  the  Market  Place.  As  soon  as  you  land,  do  get  ac- 
quainted with  the  twenty-cent  piece.  It  is  the  size  of  our  quarter 
and  I  believe  the  street  sellers  make  a  game  of  seeing  how  many 
people  believe  that  since  it  is  as  large  as  a  quarter,  It  is  one.  Luckily 
lor  us.  our  English-speaking  guide  had  informed  us  when  change 
had  been  made  the  first  time;  so  when  a  vendor  started  counting 
my  change  from  a  dollar  as— "twenty-five,"  I  could  say  with  au- 
thority, "No.  twenty".  You  don't  save  much  that  way,  but  those 
two  magic  words  will  make  you  feel  like  a  world  traveler  who  is 
"In  the  know". 

Twas  a  fun-packed  weekend,  and  we  were  hardly  ready  to  leave 
Sunday  when  our  cars  came  to  whisk  us  down  the  lovely  ocean  drive. 
Malecon  Avenue,  to  the  SS  Florida  now  surrounded  with  the  native 
penny-divers.  We  had  enoyed  foreign  travel  on  a  Congerence  Budget 
and  are  ready  to  add  to  our  slogan  "Reading  Is  our  business",  the 
phrase  "And  Travel,  too".

BOXING 

The  young  and  promising 
heavyweight  contender  "Floyd 
Patterson"  from  Brooklyn, 
scored  a  12  round  split  decision 
over  the  no.  2  contender,  Tommy 
"Hurricane"  Jackson,  of  Far 
Rockaway,  N.  Y,  It  was  Patter- 
son's fight  all  the  way  until  he 
suffered  a  fractured  hand  which 
accounted  for  his  slowing  up  at 

the  end  of  the  flghL,  Patterson  Is 
young,  willing,  and  able  to  gain 
the  "Heavyweight  Title",  and  It 
is  said  that  he  Is  best  fitted  Tor 
the  position.  Patterson  has  the 
punch  of  Joe  Louis  and  the  foot- 
work of  Sugar  Ray  Robinson.

The  World  Champion  Brook-

now  they  arc  moving  up  toward

they  should,  and  still  are  near

them  to  get  in  at  least  5  or  6 
games  out  front  when  their  big 
sticks  start  their  batting  spree. 
The  question  of  Jackie  Robin- 
son being  sold  Is  a  lot  of  talk, 
because  Jackie  likes  the  Dodgers 
and  the  Dodgers  like  Jackie. 
Most  writers  say  Jackie  will  be 
with  the  Dodgers  until  he  retires. 
Jackie  Robinson  will  be  award- 
ed the  Splngarn  Medal  some 
lime  after  the  baseball  season 
Is  over.

Miss  (Jfors  (iiven  ■ 
Far**w«-ll   Party  at  Dorm 

By  Odell  Weaver 
and  Thomas  Johnson 

Miss  Roberta  Clfors.  the  Direc- 
tor of  Wright  Hall  since  its  com- 
pletion In  September  1954,  was 
given  a  farewell  party  by  mem- 
bers of  the  Dormitory  Council  on 
Friday  evening  June  29  before 
she  departed  June  30. 

Odell  Weaver,  the  president  of 
the  council  for  1958-57,  presented 
Miss  Clfors  with  a  sliver  tray. 
Mr.  Weaver  told  Miss  Cifors  that 
the  tray  was  being  presented  by 
the  men  of  the  dormitory  as  a 
token  for  the  outstanding  service 
that  she  had  rendered  during 
her  tenure  In  this  capacity.  The 
tray  had  the  following  Inscrip- 
tion; "Character  Is  like  a  dia- 
mond. It  Is  a  stone  which 
scratches  every  other  stone." 
Weaver  said  that  this  inscription 
was  engraved  because  Miss  Cl- 
fors always  stressed  the  impor- 
tance of  good  character  and  a 
pleasing  personality. 

Wright  Hall,  which  Is  one  of 
the  newest  and  most  spacious 
structures  on  the  campus,  Is 
without  a  director  until  another 
is  appointed  by  the  president. 

Mrs.  Clfors  said  that  she  felt 
as  though  she  was  a  mother  to 
the  men  in  the  dormitory.  She 
stated  that  since  Wright  Hall 
was  the  newest  structure  situ- 
ated at  the  center  of  the  campus, 
most  of  the  visitors  stayed  there 
during  the  many  meetings  and 
conventions.  According  to  the 
director,  3  a.m.  wasn't  an  unus- 
ual hour  to  be  awakened  to  place 
a  visitor  in  a  room  in  Wright 
Hall.  She  said  that  she  was  go- 
ing to  take  a  deserved  vacation.

By   Richard    A,    Brown,   Jr. 

In  an  interview  here  today, 
Walter  Leftwlch,  director  of  the 
long-awaited  course  in  Total 
School  Health  Planning,  It  was 
revealed  that  the  course  meets 
an  urgent  need  in  the  school 
program. 

With  28  students  representing 
19  counties  in  the  state,  the 
course  fulfills  a  primary  need  of 
the  elementary  teacher,  giving 
her  help  in  developing  a  system- 
ized  method  of  approach,  the  di- 
rector stated. 

Since  It  has  met  with  such 
popular  approval,  the  course  will 
be  offered  as  a  part  of  the  regu- 
lar term  beginning  in  1957.  The 
course  features  trips  to  local 
health  institutions,  demonstra- 
tions, and  actual  experience  in 
participating  in  health  programs 
in  schools. 

"For  example,  the  potential  or 
in-service  teacher  will  receive 
instruction  in  giving  vision  tests 
so  that  the  technique  wil  be  fa- 
miliar In  the  classroom,"  Mr. 
Leftwlch  stated. 

He  further  stated,  "More  em- 
phasis is  needed  on  health  in  our 
public  schools.  Pains  have  been 
taken  to  cover  as  thoroughly  as

the  class,  expressed  a  typical 
opinion  when  she  said,  "One

HUMOR 


By  Gloria  Moultrie 

Isn't  It  The  Truth? 

A  minister  was  lecturing  his 
sixteen-year-old  daughter  about 
snobbishness. 

"Remember,"  he  said,  "we  are 
all  of  the  same  mold". 

"Yes,"  replied  his  hopeful, 
"but  some  are  moldier  than  oth- 
ers". 


Knock!    Knock' 

Who's  there? 

Oscar. 

Oscar  who? 

Oscar  if  she  loves  me..
