CLARK PANTHER, NOVEMBER-DECEMBER, 1949 PAGE SIX 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.

UNIVERSITY FLOWER SHOP Miss Bertha Moseley, Prop. FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS WAlnut 9391 — LAmar 9629 138 Chestnut Street, Southwest ■ 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 selected for this edition Miss Avis Joyce Car ver, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. tWayman Car ver, who are in structors here at Clark in the de- partment of Music and Bi- Miss Carver ology, respec tively. Miss Carver is a native At lantan and a graduate of Howard High School. Upon graduation she received highest honors and, in ad dition to this, she received the Read ers’ Digest Award in English and the Ira Jarrel Award for scholar ship. Avis is a sophomore at Clark and has maintained a three-point average for two semesters. Her major interest is in the fields of social science and education, but Avis also finds time to participate in the activities of various organi zations on the campus. She holds a position in the College band, Pyra mid Club of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and the sophmore class. She is a student member of the cultural committee and a member of the Spanish Club. Once again the “Panther” takes 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.
