At The Sign Of The Blue
The joint meeting of Spelman Y. W.
C. A. and Morehouse Y. W. C. A. was
held in Morgan Hall on January 7. 1945.
The program was in the form of a panel
discussion with Katherine Goodman pre
siding and Madeline Holder in charge of
the music.
Rev. W. H. Borders led the discussion
on the subject “Who do you think can
do a better job running the government,
a woman or a man?” This question
seemed to arouse the interest of everyone.
There were many shades of opinion ex
pressed. Some thought that the women
were not stable enough for such a job.
Rev. Borders concluded by saying, “If the
women had a chance, they couldn’t do
any worse than the men.” What do you
think about it?
There was much debate concerning the
youth of today and their possible contri
butions to progress. Can they do any
thing about making this a true de
mocracy? What is the duty of a Christian
youth? Could the Christians have pre
vented this war? If so, how?
At the conclusion of the program, the
chairman of the social committee, Evelyn
Spann, and the chairman of the service
committee, Irene Moore, served refresh
ments, which seemed to top everything of!
nicely.
The Y. W. C. A. is welcoming 1945
with the highest enthusiasm and is look
ing forward to making this a bigger and
a better year.

western front” certainly cannot be ap
plied to that energetic and enterprising
group. Pan-Americana; for. since the be
ginning of the semester. Pan-Americana
has been busily engaged in promoting one
project after another.
So. as in the past, the present days
find Pan-Americana engrossed in the for
mation of plans for another project which
should prove of much Interest to the stu
dents of Spelman. of Morehouse, of At
lanta University, and to the general pub
lic-at-large.
WHAT WILL THE FORTHCOMING
PROJECT BE?
Will it be a movie on Latin-American
life?
W ill it be another theatre party, such
as the one students had the good fortune
to attend on Tuesday evening, November
14. 1944?
W ill it be a fiesta?
Will it be a quiz program similar to
the very excellent one given by Pan-
Americana last year?
Will it be an exhibition of the Latin-
American dance?
These and other questions will he an
swered in the near future.

Sociology
The seminar course offered by the De
partment of Sociology for the purpose of
orientating the student into the Founda
tions of the Social Sciences, was visited
by a scholar outstanding in the field of
history. The visitor was Dr. Rayford
Logan. I rofessor of History, of Howard
University.
The subject for the forum discussion
which was held on Wednesday, January
10. at 7:30 P.M.. was entitled “Dependent
Areas in a Post W ar World.” Mr. Logan
discussed and criticized the League of Na
tions as an agency for administering de
pendent areas at the close of World War
I. The idea of a cooperative and unified
world order for the maintenance of peace
was a noble one but the League had
many faults. Mr. Logan indicated some
of the proposals submitted for the im
provement of the instrument of super
vision. But these proposals were rejected.
The mandate system also proved to he
a stumbling block. The first World War
was labeled a war “to make the world
safe for democracy” but under the man
date system there were some areas, near
ly all in countries of the darker races,
which would never be able to attain full
freedom or absolute self-government.
At the close of World War I the peace
plans were drawn up along lines that
recognized nationalism, the creation of a
succession of states. This plan failed and
now the leaders of the allied nations are
formulating peace plans similar to those
incorporated at the Congress of Vienna in
1815. The legitimate ruler is to be re
turned to his place of power and there
is to he a total disregard of the princi
ples of nationalism. The dream is that
ot a United States of Europe.
1 he historian, according to Mr. Logan,
does not predict. But the eevnts of the
past are there for all to see. The out
come of the events of the present is future
know ledge and one man’s guess is as good
as another's.

hoy or girl under ten years of age. This
year the classes, very enthusiastic over
the idea, contributed quite generously
