WE SHALL HAVE MUSIC
On Friday evening, January 31, the
Atlanta University community listened to
a violin recital hy Clarence Render, artist
pupil of Kemper Harreld, and Morehouse
College freshman. Mr. Render opened
his program with the brilliant first move
ment of Paganini's Concerto in D. This
concerto, along with the Tschaikowsky
and Mendelssohn concertos, is one of the
most difficult in violin literature. The au
dience listened appreciatively to three
Bach numbers—two for violin alone, and
the third arranged for piano hy Jascha
Heifetz. The program was closed with
Wieniawski’s Polonaise Brilliante, which
immediately caught our interest with its
stirring rhythm.
The artist included numbers hy Han
del. Moszkowski—Sarasate, and the mod
ern Russian composer, Prokofieff. The
Atlanta-Morehouse-Spelman Choir added
to the excellence of the program by
singing Lost in the Wight by Christiansen
and The Rising Tide hy William Grant
Still.
At the piano, accompanying the choir
was Mrs. Sara Owsley Stivers of the
Spelman College faculty. The artist of
the evening was ably assisted by Rebecca
Jackson. Spelman College Junior.
During the past years the Spelman
community has been honored several
times with the presence of a Fellow of
the American Guild of Organists. On
Friday, February 7, Carl Weinrich will
he presented in recital in Sisters Chapel
at 4:00 P. M. His appearance is spon
sored hy the Arts Program of the Asso
ciation of American Colleges.
On Thursday. February 6, the artist
will give an informal lecture-recital at
the assembly period.
CONVOCATION

our perspectives, and we shall be better
prepared to give ourselves to humanity.
Continuing her discussion of Today’s
If orld in a forum at Sales Hall, Miss
Seabury stressed the important influence
of social institutions in forming the atti
tudes and ideas of young people in re
gard to race and religion. Much can be
done with the unrealized power of true
church congregations and other groups.
As long as any race or group of people
is enslaved or oppressed, none of us is
free. We must fight for the cause of all
races if we would insure liberty and
tolerance for ourselves.
Her deep sincerity, her dynamic per
sonality. her courage and her living ex
ample of the workability of the prin
ciples of which she spoke, have placed
Miss Seabury high on the roll of the
famed and long remembered speakers
who have honored us with their visits.

“We are called.” the assembly as
serted.
“To face a new world
“To recognize the will of God
“To commit ourselves to Him.”
“We place Christian Faith at the cen
ter of our program so that students may
become informed, articulate and effective
Christians. We demonstrate a Christian
Faith which is intellectually valid and
socially relevant.”
It seems only yesterday, Miss Wash-
inston? It was only yesterday that mil
lions were dying in a second world war—
when incredible human cruelties assailed.
But today we face a new World—-
“A world with new possibilities of
mankind’s unity, of material plenty for
all. of world organization based on law,
of that knowledge and truth that can set
men free.”
THAT SPELMAN LOOK
(Continued from Page 3)
Mae Frances Clowney and Eunice
Hines also have the accent on gray, both
exceedingly stylish with burgundy ac
companiments . . .
Rebecca Jackson and the members of
the choir were graciously feminine in
their evening gowns as they arrested the
eyes of their audience at the Render
violin recital. Orchids to Rebecca for
her excellent artistry at the pianoforte.
. . . Return to the accent on gray (we
like it for its versatility), and this
time it's Theodosia Washington’s belted
coat of that new suede fabric which we
saw her wearing at the Strawbridge pro
duction of Pinocchio . . .
Bennie Robeson’s little blue hat of
ostrich feathers is a real eye catcher for
church and concert goers . . .
Carolyn Smith and Maurice Webster
held the center of attention as they
strolled from vespers, Carolyn in a white
shortie coat, a warm and lovely asset to
any costume; and Maurice, chic in a pair
of black suede platform soled shoes with
tweeded cobra trimmings . . .
Calling Hours: and we regarded Ethel
“Petey” Coleman entertaining, decorous
in a dress of mint green with bow tied
neck; Barbara Peek, charming in a white
flannel dress with embroidered flowers;
Mildred Napper, vivacious in a gray
gabardine dress with quilted yoke and
covered buttons; and Theresa Smith and
Doris Robinson, captivating in black
crepe; Theresa with a rhinestone decora-
"A LAUGH A DAY”
“Yes. said the doctor as he stood at
tin* bed of a patient.” I can cure you.
“What will it cost.''” asked the -ick
man.
“Five hundred dollars.”
“You’ll have to shade your price a
little.” replied the patient. “I had a bettei
bid from the undertaker.”
A motorcycle cop stopped the eai and
pulled out his summons book. The lady
in the back seat laughed with glee. “Just
give him a ticket, officer. Serves him
right.” “Your wife?” asked the officer,
and the driver nodded. The officer
snapped his book shut and said, “Drive
on. brother.”
A preacher one day saw some fellows
standing around a dog.
“What are you doing, boys? ’ he asked
with paternal interest.
“Swapping lies” piped up one bright
fellow.
“The boy who tells the biggest one gets
the dog.”
“Shocking!” exclaimed the preacher.
“Why, when 1 was your age I never
thought of telling an untruth.”
“You win,” cried the boys. “You get
the dog.”

The lady had a new maid who was to
serve dinner for the first time, and there
were to be guests.
“Mary,” the lady said. “When you
serve tonight be careful that you don’t
spill anything.’
Mary smiled and said, “Oh yes, you
can rely on me, ma’m, I don’t talk much.”

The landlord looked coldly at a pros
pective tenant. “I must remind you, that
I will not tolerate children, dogs, cats
or parrots. And no piano playing and no
radio. Is that clear?”
“Yes sir,” said the tenant meekly.” But
I think you ought to know that my foun
tain pen scratches a little.”

sign in multi-colored sequins . . .
Thus we close our memo pad until
next month.
