CAMPUS MIRROR 3 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.

They stood for the entire program and rendered carols between tableaux, with Julia Boyd and Valdez Murray as soloists. It was so arranged that part stood at the front of the room and part in the balcony. l.ois Blayton was narrator for the tab leaux. which were replicas of paintings by famous artists, and realistically fol lowed details of the originals. These were: Apparition to the Shepherds by Bernard Plockhurst; The Wise Men on Th eir If ay to Jerusalem by Harvy A. Harper; Holy Mfiht by Correggio; and Christmas llells by Edwin II. Blashfield. They were a beautiful depiction of the Christmas story as narrated bv l.ois Blay ton. Pan-Americana, What Now? S. J. Bonnkr, Reporter The expression “All is quiet on the 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. II atchl Look! Listen! PAN-AMERICANA BIDS YOU KEEP ON THE MOVE WITH HER! Members of the cast were: Angels — Eleanor Bryson.

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. Atlanta University Book Shop No. 1 No. 2 Administration Bldg.
