KAPPA KORNER
HOMECOMING QUEENS
The Gamma Kappa Chapter of
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity ob
served its first anniversary on the
morning of November 22, 1949. The
chapter presented its initial pro
gram in the college auditorium.
n The chapter was established in
1948. It was introduced to the Clark
College family by Ernest J. Wilkins,
Sr. (Esq.) Grand Polemarch of
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. At
the commencing of Gamma Kappa
there were six members and two
advisors. The assistance and sug
gestions of Bro. A. B. Wright and
Bro. W. R. Burns enaDled the chap
ter with its six members to work
harmoniously with the other fra
ternal orders. The first officers of
Gamma Kappa were: Bro. Donald
G, Fletcher, polemarch; Bro. Cleve
land C. White, vice polemarch; Wil
liam Washington, Jr., keeper of rec
ords; David Puckett, keeper of
exchequer; William Hunter, Jr.,
strategus; Bro. Oscar Thomas, his
torian.
During the probation period of
last year, four brothers were ad
mitted in the bond. Bros. Fred C.
White, Isaac Fisher, and Thomas
Roberts crossed the sands in De
cember, and Bro. William Breeding
in May.
At the present
time Gamma
Kappa Chapter
has an enroll
ment of Six
Greeks. The
order of the of
ficial holdings
has changed in
four positions.
Bro. William
Hunter, Jr., is
the vice pole-
march; Bro. Fred C. White, keeper
of exchequer; Bro. William J
Breeding, historian.
For our anniversary program we
presented Bro. Samuel Southern as
our guest speaker. Bro. Southern is
serving as head of the department
of Economics and Business Admin
istration at Morris Brown College.
Bro. Southern expounded from the
theme “Practical Concept.” He
stated that the world is in a state
of narrow-mindedness. Provincial
ism is consisting our present con
flict; it is necessary for us to have
the right viewpoint of life in order
to break the chain of segregation.
The Bros, in the Bond feel proud
of the achievement that has been
accomplished since the chapter’s in
auguration. We feel honored to be
in a position to bring prominent
speakers to the student body as
other fraternal orders.
We are anticipating a successful
“Guide Right” Program,” and at
present are working toward that
goal.
I suggest for your holidays a trip
to Nashville, Tennessee. Come
around the 27th and stay until the
30th. I suppose you are wondering
why this invitation is extended to
you. Why, because that fabulous
city will be entertaining Kappa
men both near and far. The date is
December 27-30. So, I’ll look for all
of you at the Kappa Alpha Psi Fra
ternity Conclave. See you in the
Bond Brothers.
William J. Breeding.

MISS BEADLES
Members of the Clark family
were saddened recently over the
sudden and untimely death of Miss
Marvel Beadles, who for more than
seven years served as assistant
registrar at Clark. At the time of
her death she was serving on the
administrative staff at Atlanta Uni
versity.
Miss Beadles Was a graduate of
Clark College in the class of 1935.
During her tenure at the college,
she was active as advisor to the
campus chapter of Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority and manifested in
terest in many other campus or
ganizations. Clarkites will remem
ber her for the patient understand
ing and guidance which she gave
at registration time. Her attitude
was always one of helpfulness, and
reflected the efficiency which char
acterized her work.
A large number of Clarkites,
headed by President Brawley, paid
tribute to her at the mortuary and
by attendance at the funeral rites.
“How Happy Every Child of Grace”
was sung by Misses Franklin,
Seals, Watkins and Traylor and
Messrs. Johnson, Stivers and Con
way of the Philharmonic Society,
at the funeral.
She is survived by her father,
Mr. William J. Beadles, and an
aunt, Mrs. Leol Cox, of New York
City.
“One whose grip was a little
tighter; one whose smile was a lit
tle brighter.” Such a person was
Miss Marvel Beadles.

Your Student
Council
Fellow Students:
We wish to make this a regular
feature in the Panther; that is,
a message on the activities of the
council and the problems with
which we are confronted.
If there is any single thought
that continually pervades my mind
and that even haunts me occasion
ally, it is this: After having ex
erted the effort to organize our
student government most of. us have'
slumped back into the same lethar
gy that prompted our critics to de
clare us unready for the venture.
I have tried to analyze the situation.
Unfortunate, I can see no reason
other than that mentioned above.
But this seems paradoxical to me
because, for the greater part, we
are the same group that so zealously
undertook the project last semester.
What makes one wonder even more
is that everyone expresses a will
ingness to do, whereas only a few
follow through with these inten
tions. May I remind you that reso
lutions without action have never
helped any institution. We sincere
ly cherish the hope that an aware
ness of our responsibility will soon
overtake us all.
This column, however, is not in
tended to chide you so vehemently
that I incur your wrath. On the
other hand, I wish to have you
focus your thoughts with me on
some of the more important prob
lems of our council.
(1) The Yearbook must be pro
duced. The fact that this is a re
sponsibility of students cannot be
overemphasized. You can make
your contribution by signing a
pledge immediately if you have not
already done so.
(2) A Constitution Committee
has been organized. Under the
leadership of Miss Ethel Watkins,
they are preparing the rough draft
for our constitution. You can con
tribute here by offering your serv
ices- if you have any experience
along this line.
(3) The Program Committee
Chairman, Mr. Sam Henry Jones,
will be prepared to submit a re
port in the very near future.
(4) We plan to apply to the
chapel council for at least one
monthly meeting date when the
entire student body can assemble
with the council.
We wish to elicit your active par
ticipation and ask for your con
tinued support. Remember that the
only excuse any organization may
have for its existence is its useful
function. We are no exception! i
Sincerely yours,
Henry Nehemiah Cooper
President, Student Council
Student of the
Month
The staff has

ver, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs.

Miss Carver ology, respec
tively. Miss Carver is a native At

dition to this, she received the Read

pride in presenting to the student
body the Student of the Month.
Believing that a pleasing person
ality as well as scholarship and ver
satility should determine the selec
tion of a student as “Student of the
Month,” the staff has taken pride
in bringing to you Miss Avis Joyce
Carver, whom we feel is sincerely
worthy of the title.
