SENIORS IN RECITAL A capacity audience enthusias tically received a joint recital de livered by Rodney Reed and Joseph Stevens, Sunday, February 11, in Davage Auditorium. Mr. Reed, a native of New Or leans, a major in music, demon strated! his versatility and artistic ability as he performed commend- ably on the piano, oboe, saxaphone, and clarinet. Included in his se lections were a Minuet by Beethov en, a Prelude by Chopin, Rathan’s “Shepard’s Mountain Air,” and Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5. Especially effective were his clari net renditions which included Bas- si’s “Nocturne.” Mr. Stevens, also a music major, demonstrated his skill as a concert pianist and tenor soloist. The piano selections consisted of an Etude, by Chopin and a Rapsody by Brahms. Among his vocal rendi tions were Handel’s Silent Wor ship, Ifar Bild and Der Sturmische Morgan, by Schubert, and Spirate Pur Spirate by Donaudy. Mr. Reed and Mr. Stevens were accompainied by Miss Laverna Gaither and Mrs. Marion Sykes re spectively. Both accompanists are instructors in the Clark Department of Music. Turmon Breaks SIAC Scoring Mark Roman Turmon, better known as “Doc” by thie Clark students, set a new high scoring record in SIAC circles recently w|hen he scored 42 points as Clark triumphed over Morehouse 77-43 on the Magnolia court. Trumon, a freshman from Thom- aston, Georgia, scored 18 of his 42 points in the first half of the con test, and of course 24 in the second half, making a total of 16 field goals and 10 free throw. In making the record set in a past season by Nathaniel “Sweetwater” I Clifton, Turmon set himself as a marked man in the remainder of the season’s contests. In scoring his 42 points Turmon received an injury and was unable to show his form in the next game (Morris Brown). He was held to one point during his short stay in that game. The first step of Clark College Expansion was made last year wthen Merrill J. Holmes Hall, women’s dormintory, was constructed at a cost of over $400,000. The date of the beginning of construction of the two above described buildings has not yet been announced. The present phase of the cam paign calls for $300,000 which will be used for the Home Economics Practice House ($175,000); Pre-Med ical Program ($25,000); Endowment (75,000); and another 25,000 for ad ditional capital improvements. Mrs. Hale Attends Conference Mrs. Larzette Hale, of the Clark Business Administration Depart ment represented the college on February 16th and 17th at the an nual meeting of the National As sociation of Business Teacher-Train ing Institutions. The meeting was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The NABITTI, which is a part of the NEA’s United Business Educa tional Association, is primarily con cerned with the development and improvement of business-teacher education. The membership of this organization includes both Negro and white institutions. Clark Col lege became a member in 1948. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa.— (I.P.)—The National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Stu dents, headed by Dean-Emeritus Harvey J. Carman, formerly of Co lumbia University, is working to get Negroes to attend white col leges. However, the fund is not interested in the reverse process of encouraging white students to at tend Negro colleges. This information has been con firmed by Dean Carman in corres pondence released here recently by President Horace Mann Bond of Lincoln University. The Fund believes that Negro students should be encouraged to attend colleges where no Negroes have attended before, as such a situation, according to Dean Car man, presents “the greatest poten tial for absorption of additional Negroes.” However, the Fund pre fers the absorption of Negroes as a technique of integration against the reverse technique of achieving integration by absorbing white stu dents into a predominantly Negro student body, and will not encour age white students to attend col leges with a majority Negro en rollment, Clark Players Present “THE LITTLE FOXES” First Dramatic Presentation of Semester Performing before a full house head of the mercenary clan; and her father.

(Photo by Adams) PANTHERS DOWN ’SKEGEE IN Sherrod Speaks FIRST MEETING, 53-39 To Jeanes Group The on-rushing Panthers re leased their greatest power against the Tuskegee Golden Tigers. The Tuskegee squad had defeated Mor ris Brown and the Panthers antici pated tough going from the Ala bamians. However, when the Pan thers cornered them in Howard’s High gymnasium they surrendered and collapsed long before the game reached its final stages. Bennie Lowe put the Panthers out front when he pushed in two points from 25 ft. out. After five minutes of the contest had passed the score tallied a big red, Clark 12, Tuske gee 4. Incidentally Roman “Doc” Turmon had made two fouls, never before this early in the game, so Coach sent Alfred Ellis in to com mand things. Ellis did some fancy juming and pivoting at the center post and before he started perspir ing he had racked up six points for himself. The S’kegee outfit played like a tired team but Thomas and Porter managed to hit accurately ever so often. The cry came from the Panthers bench to fill it up and by time the tech ceased ring ing Burress hooked in two points. Just before the half ended the Tuskegee Tigers became deter mined and desperate for points. The play exhibited for this short period reminded the spectators of the true Tuskegee team. Whereas there was a deficit of 12 points the gap closed to just 4, The half mark caught the Panthers with the ball in their possession and the game in their control, Clark 23, Tuskegee 19. The second half of this supposed ly close contest opened with the same Panther cry “Fill it up.” To my surprise I learned that they were referring to the basket when they said fill it up. The difference in the two teams grew obvious as the game grew older. Lowe had hit his usual 21 so Freddie Jackson went in to put his name on the book. Blaine ‘Stretch” Wayne went in and out-stretched the visitor’s center and gave the bouncing ball to Leon Carlton, who made contact with the net several times. William Powell suffered a bad ankle and could only participate passively. The crowd realized Tuskegee had been defeated and slowly started drifting toward the exit. The Clark- ites present lauded the fighting Panthers for their performance and victory number six was re corded. Support Clark Endowment Mr. Arthur D. ShemxJ, art in structor at Clark, addressed a group of Jeanes Supervisors on “The Essentials of Art Education,” Friday afternoon, February 9, at the Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. The Georgia Jeanes group, meet ing in a regional session, heard Mr. Sherrod described art as an inte gral part of man's existence. “No society," the artist maintained, “has ever been able to survive without art,” Members of the Jeanes group par ticipating in the luncheon program were: Mrs. Freda Dawson, presi dent of the Atlanta Jeanes group, Mrs. Maude Talbot, Miss Maggie Perry, and Mrs. Narva Jordan Har ris. Panthers Fall In Second Game In their last game of the visita tion race on Friday, February 16th in Logan Hal], Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, the Golden Tigers eked a 70-69 win over the Panthers. Lowe and Turmon took scoring honors for the Panthers wlhile Freddie Jackson turned in his best perform ance of the season. Clark vs. Fisk Saturday
