CLARK PANTHER, JAN CARY-PEBRUARY, 1951, ATLANTA, GEORGIA PAGE THREE TO BE OR NOT TO BE BROTHERS By John L. White, Jr. “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother.” These famous words of the great king, Henry V, seem to have a special message at this crucial era. Even in those times the men, whether great or small, were cog nizant of the great need for broth erhood. Basically mankind has not forgotten it today; we all want to have a feeling of belonging to a group; no one wants to be an out sider. So on our small campus with its family atmosphere we have fraternities and sororities. Some students may or may not have heard some definite things about these organizations; fre quently one forms opinions solely on these statements before coming to college. These fraternities and sororities are not merely social or ganizations, but each one has a definite aim and a major program. In these organizations, there is a spirit of comaraderie and a kin ship which grows through the years. Scrollers By Richard E. Byrd The Scroller Club of Gamma Kappa Chapter, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, presented its annual chapel program on January 10, 1951. The program was an original skit written by Clarence Williams, president of the Scroller Club. The theme of the skit was The Expan sion Campaign. At the conclusion of the program the club made a contribution of $10.00 to Dr. Hale for the campaign. One of the hottest teams in the This part of college life is very- essential for you as students if you are to get the full benefits which college has to offer you. You will encounter experiences that will live as long as you live—happy experi ences, memorable experiences which you may share with other members of the same organization whom you will meet in later life. “When we our betters see bearing- out woes, We scarcely think our miseries our foes, Who alone suffers suffers most i’ the mind, Leaving free things and happy shows behind; But then the mind much suffer ance doth o’erskip When grief hath mates, and bear ing fellowship.” Edgar, in Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” spoke these words, and if you scrutinize them carefully you will become cognizant of what he is saying; he, too, realizes the con sequences of being alone, without a friend in whom he can confide. What better means is there for a true friendship than for the per sons involved to have a mutual in- “Preliminary Basketball League” is the Scrollers. In collaboration with the Scroller Club of Pi Chap ter, Morehouse College, the team has won 3 and lost 1. That loss on the team’s record was a closely contested game that saw the Cres cent City Five win by 2 points. We want that team to know “pay back” when they* see it. Revenge is sweet. The Scroller Club hopes that all members and friends of Clark Col lege will do their parts in making the Expansion Campaign a success. It will benefit all of us in the time to come. terest in the same things ? And what better means is there for this mutual interest to be perpetuated than through these organizations, fraternities and sororities? Before entering the sacred por tals of Greekdom, emphasis is placed on scholarship, character, general attitude and many other things which the organizations think should be stressed. So, young men and young women, take inventory of your natural resources and consider your future life here at Clark; then you will undoubt edly realize this need for closer re lationship with your fellow stu dents. OMEGA Beta Psi Chapter is now in the process of founding a scholarship aid program which will enlarge its present scholarship grants. The grant will be made to the male stu dent showing the greatest diligence in class work, in extra-curricular activities, and in showing his value as a member of the Clark student body. Gerald Johnson was the Beta Psi delegate to the Omega National Conclave held in Boston, Massa chusetts the latter part of Decem ber. Mr. Adams Addresses Symposium Addressing the Clark College Lit erary Symposium at its January meeting held recently in Holmes Hall Mr .Lewis F. Adams of the Department of Modern Languages discussed the various elements in the works of Moliere, the seven teenth century French playwright. Mr. Adams stated that the satire contained in the works of Moliere was perhaps comparable to that found in the works of the English writer Jonathan Swift. He cited also several works of Moliere, in cluding “Le Milade Imaginable” and “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme.” Sev eral selections from the latter play were read to the gr oup and used in illustrating Moliere’s style. The speaker concluded with an analysis of Moliere’s character. Attention was then directed to Miss Mary Staley and Mr. John White, carriers of the literary lan tern for the month of January, Miss Staley gave a challenging re port on race novels and Mr. White commented on Robert Frost, a con temporary American poet.

Hart, Mildred Jones, Juanita Marshall, Frances McGuire, Sylvia Smith, Mary Staley, Vienna Thorn, John L. White, Marie Young, Barbara Taylor, David Stanley, and Fannie Watson. Negro Publishers Meet Here The Mid-Winter Workshop for Negro' Publishers was held in At lanta recently. Representatives from negro newspapers came from all parts of the country to attend this annual affair which was a very successful one. The host newspaper of course was the AT LANTA DAILY WORLD. Discussed at the various sessions of the workshop were the trends in newspaper writing, popular opinion and problems facing Negro Pub lishers, Beetle Bomb Arrives ALPHA CLARK FALLS TO XAVIER On December 15, 1950 a new Clark College basketball team donned the colors of cardinal and black to play their first game for the 1950-1951 season. The first contest against Xavier was close, 58-51, and our Panthers anxiously awaited the second contest. The following night they found them selves in Scotlandville and at the tail end of a 61-38 score. Southern was tough admitted the Panthers. So after losing the final game to Xavier the boys packed up and headed home. The squad this year is new and highly polished as I’ve often said before. Here is the proper point; so hang on while the Panthers and I relate our waltz through Tennes- :Continued On Page Four) Alumni Notes Franklin S. Jones Times marches on, and 1951 is proving that it is waiting on one one. The Alumni Association is fondly wishing that you will get many of the things done early in the year that you have included in your new year’s resolutions. February finds our fighting hardwood men in the thick of battle and making a wonderful showing for our dear “ole” Red and Black; let’s cheer them on to many more victories. The second semester is well under way now and we are hoping that everyone will have smooth sailing from now until June.

It consisted pri marily of a recapitulation of the past performance of Alpha broth ers who have been affiliated with Alpha Chi Chapter and of the chap ter’s progress through the years of its growth and maturity. The program’s agenda was com posed of Brothers John White, Jr., Rufus Wilson, II, William Stanley and Ivan Roper. The script was written by Brothers Wiley Bolden and Darwin Turner. All of the fraternity’s brothers attended the program which was well accepted by the student body and faculty. It is the desire and practice that the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity give at frequent periods programs which will help the students of Clark to see the application of brotherhood at work, and the ad vantages of combined and success ful acts incorporated into fruitful work for the ascertainment of bet ter ideals and practices among the human society. Editor to the Sphinx, Ivan Roper. Associate Editor, Edwin Pratt. A new bus was purchased by ‘ the administration recently for the use of the basketball team. The bus, a late model, seats 16 persons and the driver. Upon its arrival on January 24 it was immediately christened “Beetle-bomb” by the students. Painted in the traditional cardi nal and black, “Beetlebomb” will probably serve in a general capacity after basketball season. This “streamlined” job will do 80 m.p.h. (downhill and loaded). It has all the modernistic features of any super-duper conveyance of con temporary times. It has, for exam ple, two headlights which can be dimmed in passing other vehicles (and busses) on the road. It also has a great big red light, located on its rear (end) which reads Harvey Taylor, G. I. FORT MEADE, Md., Jan. 18. — Ret. Harvey L.

Cox, Akron, Ohio; Exec. Sec’y., Bd. of Education, N. E. Ohio Conference, Methodist Chnrch. By William M. Ogletree Each year in April the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity sponsors a “Guide Right Movement.” The na ture of this movement is just what the words suggest. This is quite early to introduce the national pro gram, though we realize this type of guidance is always needed. Here on our campus we, the members of Gamma Kappa chapter, shall have to undertake this movement quite early. We wish to guide you right to the office of Dr. Hale and see that you do right by paying your personal contribution in full or whatever you can give toward it. Perhaps you will not be able to give your five dollars in full, but surely you will be able to make a down payment before the deadline. A dollar, a quarter, or any amount that you have will go toward the grand total we are expected to raise. We shall help in every capacity possible to make this drive a sue- STOP!” when the brake (yes, it has brakes) are applied. It has a new-fangled invention called a “crank” which can be used to start the engine (gasoline powered) when the automatic starter fails to function. The roof can be opened in fair weather to permit lanky occupants to exercise their necks, this also permits the driver to get up and yell at road hogs and driv ers who get too close (for their own good). “Beetlebomb” is a very safe bus. It has a rear door which can be used as an escape batch if fire breaks out in the middle of the bus (it is almost 14 feet long on the inside). The door can also be opened to throw out trash and players who made a bum showing in the game. HAMILTON, N. Y.—(I.P.)~Al though the prime employer for male college graduates in Febru ary and June will be the armed forces, there is now a growing sentiment on the part of business against turning its back on these men when it is searching for a backlog of manpower. That is the opinion of Dr. George Estabrooks, eminent psychologist and placement director at Colgate University. He bases it on top-level talks with representatives of busi ness firms which yearly tour col lege campuses in search of men to enroll in their training pro grams. These representatives assure that business expects to adopt the long- range policy of starting men who have only one month or a year be fore the military steps in, keeping- in contact with them during their time in the service and replacing them in the training for the busi ness which was interrupted by the military upon their release. cess. Our purpose is to help man kind and prepare for the future. We probably will not reap the bene fits of this campaign, hut it will help others who follow us. Therefore, we are anxiously urg ing each of you to give your utmost support to this drive. Push it out front by paying your personal con tributions. Let’s all join the band and march directly to the offices of Dr. Hale and your class advisors and give five dollars. The Kats will do it; will you? The trouble with people who drink like fishes is that they don’t drink what fishes drink. “Hey you, are there any sharks around here where I’m swimming?” “No, they’re afraid of the croco diles.”
