Cartman, Jr. Editor of the Morehouse College Maroon Tiger 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.” PHONE RA. 5681 PARKS SHOE REBUILDERS If It's Shoe Trouble — See Us Work Called for and Delivered WE HAVE SAVED MORE THAN A MILLION SOLES 854 Hunter St..
