Your Part

Morehouse men, like most men, have
as one of their aims in life the making
of good homes and families. The founda
tion for this is success and a good wife.
Yau may help them attain success and
guide them in selecting a wife.
Morehouse men look to Spelman
women for a number of things other than
companionship. They look to you for
inspiration to do what they have set out
to do in this life. They look to you for
ancouragement when unexpected ob
stacles tend to hinder their progress
toward a wanted goal. They look to you
for criticism before, during, and after
an endeavor to achieve. Too, Morehouse
men look to Spelman women for consola
tion when, even after your inspiration,
encouragement and criticism, they fall
short of a desired accomplishment.
More important than these, Morehouse
men take Spelman women as their cri
terion for judging women in general.
Today, as yesterdays, they expect Spel-
man women to stand out among all oth
ers in their speech, personalities, atti
tudes. and dress. You are the model by
which they wall choose their wives.
As Spelman women, your responsibili
ty to your fellow women is as great as
your part in making Morehouse men
men to be proud of.
A Trip To Latin America
It was a special treat to have Mr. James
Montgomery, veteran newspaper and ra
dio commentator, as our guest chapel
speaker on Tuesday morning, October 31.
Mr. Montgomery, back in the United
States only four weeks after an exciting
trip through Latin America, took us over
the same exciting route that he had fol
lowed by means of his vivid descriptions
and unequaled wit. We quaked with ter
ror when flying through the steeps of the
Andes Mountains with him; we thrilled
to the beauty of Rio; we were filled with
awe when viewing “the land of hills”
in Central America.
South America is a vast new world
struggling to be born, says Mr. Mont
gomery. When fully born, it will have
power to change the complexion of the
world. Regardless of where he went
among the Latin American countries,
people were constantly talking of the
coming new freedom. The war has em
phasized to them that they should have
freedom and they are prepared to fight
for it.
One significant movement noted by the
speaker is taking place in Buenos Aires
where, of the 20.000 students in the Uni
versity, 19 to 1 are against the present
government. He mentioned that only
15 per cent of the population in Argen
tina are Nazi sympathizers but described
how this group controls the country
through adoption of Gestapo practices.
Some Argentinians, he said, were as
loyal to Hitler as the Nazis in Berlin.
Nevertheless, Mr. Montgomery prophe-
cied that the first great democracy to
come out of Latin America will be Ar
gentina, and that country will be fol
lowed by Brazil. Uruguay, fanatically
democratic now, will continue to inspire
its neighbors from their totalitarian prac
tices.
Although it will be some time before
the Latin Americans attain full democ
racy, the speaker was confident that it
will come to pass. He believes that Bra-
bil, a world empire in itself, could rival
the United States in 25 years, unless we
continue to move forward, which, he add
ed, we are doing.
The speaker contrasted the return of
our soldiers from the European battle
fields to a land of freedom ready to en
joy freedom, with the return of soldiers
to Latin America where fighting will be
as long and hard as it was on the other
side of the ocean. “We should forget
the Alamo.” he said, “and help these
people who are wanting what has an-
riched this country for so many years.”
Mr. Montgomery stated that he will carry
this message as far and as long as God
will give him power to do so.
Dr. T. Lynn Smith
Dr. T. Lynn Smith, head of the depart
ment of sociology at Louisiana State
University, was guest of the Atlanta
University sociology department, October
22-24. Dr. Smith has done his most
outstanding work in the field of rural
sociology. He gave a series of lectures
on that subject to the class in Founda
tions of the Social Sciences.
On Monday evening, October 22, his
subject was The Field of Rural Sociology
and Its History. On Tuesday evening,
The Study of Rural Populations was dis
cussed, and on Wednesday afternoon.
The Relations of the People to the Land.
OnWednesday morning, Dr. Smith was
our guest speaker during the chapel serv
ices. Because the time was limited, he
was able only to give a preview of the
discussion that was to take place on
Wednesday evening at the forum. The
subject of this discussion was Rural Life
in Latin America. All of the lectures
were both interesting and enlightening.
It would be well if more of us attended
the forums, announcements of which are
placed on the various bulletin boards.
Spelman Observes Interna
tional Students’ Day
Ella Lett, ’46
Plans are being made by which stu
dents at Spelman may, along with stu
dents throughout the United States, cele
brate our first peace time Internationa]
Students’ Day.
The American Youth For A Free
World Society has established November
17th as the day for observance, as it is
the day on which 156 Czechoslovak stu
dents were massacred at Charles Uni
versity in Prague and 1.200 students were
deported to German concentration camps.
Because International Students’ Day is
a challenge to the freedom-loving young
people of all lands to work together in an
effort to promote international fellow
ship, the message which Franklin Delano
Roosevelt made to youth of America
seems to represent a purpose of this cele
bration. His message was in part: “. . . in
the victory now to be won and the peace
to be secured, there is a practical task
for the young people of all countries . . .
with the clear eye and firm hand of youth
they must help create that better world
toward which we now strive.”
