its operational scope and skill, but
equally on the development of new
creative writing talent devoted to
the new medium.
“The Columbia Broadacsting Syt-
tem and World Video, Inc. believe
that some of tomorrow’s most gifted
television writers may be found
among the large number of college

view:
“To encourage new writers to dis
cover and bring to maturity their
special television talents; and by
their means to contribute to the
steady advance of television talents;
and by this means to contribute to

entertainment standards.”

FASHION FADS
Fashion always has an important«son to season and often within a
influence on ode’s choice of cloth-Breason. Popular colors this season
ing. Fashion enters into all typesyare cactus pink, wild plum, biege
of clothing: and those who would
be well-dressed must be style con
scious. The three main factors to
consider in judging the fashion
rightness of a garment are: (1)
The silhouette; (2) the color; (3)
the fabric. Many persons think
that if they wear garments of
exquisite material, they are stylish
ly dressed, but this not not always
so. Fashion is only good taste
when the article you wear appro
priately flatters the woman wear
ing it.
The silhouette or outline of a gar
ment may change from season to
season, placing special emphasis
on the sleeve, the shoulder or the
skirt.
This year, fashionable silhouettes
include plunging necklines, high
collars, flared skirts, large pockets
and short boleros. If a woman
finds a prevailing silhouette un
becoming to her, no matter how
stylish it is she should wear it in
modified forms to be in good taste.
Colors change rapidly from sea-
and leather, indigo, Dutch blue and
taupe.
Color must always be up to the
individual. Just because some de
signer decides to promote wild
plum or cactus pink is no reason for
a woman to wear them if another
color brings out the fairness of her
skin, color of her hair or even the
sparkle of her eyes.
Fabric styles may change just as
colors change from season to sea
son. The emphasis may be on the
weave, the texture, or on feeling
the fabVics.
Fashionable fabrics for spring
and summer will include soft cham-
brays, or jandies, heavier Sea
Island cottons, silks crepes and
celanese rayons. With these fac
tors in mind, persons should study
their figures, height and coloring
and then choose fashions that
bring out their best points and min
imize their bad ones.

Painstakingly and scholarly, Dean
A. A. McPheeters of Clark College,
Atlanta, Georgia, traces the interest
of the Methodist Church in the edu
cation of Negroes for the current
issue of Phylon, the Atlanta Uni
versity Review of Race and Culture.
“Beginning with the establish
ment of Wilberforce University in
1856, the Methodist Church has
fortered a system of schools in the
south,” declared Dr. McPheeters,
“realizing that the program during
a given period must be geared to
the needs of those served.” From
that point of departure, the author
shows how the Methodist related
colleges changed their curricula to
period and how “education of the
hand” was elevated with that of
meet the changing needs of each
the “head and heart.”
The education of women, as con
ceived and executed by the Metho
dists, is ably discussed.
A history of the Freedmen s Aid
Society, now the Board of Educa
tion, for Negroes of the Methodist
Church, is another significant fea
ture which the article explores.
Twenty years connection with
Clark, a Methodist institution, eight
of which have been served as dean,
qualify Dr. McPheeters to discuss
this subject.

After the finals I overheard a
part of a conversation carried on
between two seniors. One said to
the other, “well there’s only one
more group of final exams and I
will have finished these four years
of intellectual punishment.” On
hearing this 1 pondered the thought
and turned the idea over and over
in my mind. I found myself wonder

PRINCETON, N. J.—The Medical
College Admission Test, required of
applicants by a number of leading
medical colleges throughout the
country, will be given twice again

tion of American Medical Colleges.
Candiates may take the MCAT on
Saturday, May 13, 1950, or on Mon
day, November 6, 1950, at adminis
trations to be held at more than
300 local centers in all parts of the
