CLARK PANTHER, NOVEMBER 9, 1951, ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Formal Phobia
At Clark
There are two formal dances giv
en by the college each year: the
Formal Acquaintance Dance and
the Homecoming Dance. During
the time the dances are planned, I
should think the fellows and “gals”
should be planning also. Instead,
there seems to be a feeling of un
certainty.
In the first place, most of the fel
lows aren’t too interested in formal
dances because of the expense in
volved in renting tuxedoes if they
do not own one; and they are even
less interested in purchasing a cor
sage for their dates. Some people
have suggested that the corsage
practice be abolished.
AKM To Aid
Students
Plans have been made by Alpha
Kappa Mu to offer tutorial service
to students. This service offered by
the society is planned to give assist
ance to any student desiring study
help.
Alpha Kappa Mu is a scholastic
fraternity composed of junior and
senior students who have maintain
ed exceptionally high standings in
scholastic work.
Recently elected officers are; Har-
riette Junior, president; Richard
Byrd, vice president; Loretta Fletch
er, recording secretary; Avis Carver,
corresponding secretary; Marshall
Smith, treasurer; Willie E. Engram,
chaplain, and Vienna Thorn, report
er.
Additional inf ormation concerning
the service offered by Alpha Kappa
Mu will be posted on the bulletin
boards.
Secondly, the young women do
not feel too enthusiastic during
these occasions because they aren’t
sure of being asked to be escorted
to the dance. Moreover, many of
the Clark women students are inter
ested in men Who attend other col
leges in the Center and under ex
isting rules and regulations their
“interests” cannot attend. I do not
think that the formal dances should
be restricted to Clark students and
their guests. I assume that those
who participate in the dances are
expected to enjoy them, so why not
permit students to come with
whomever they can best enjoy the
dance?
Another reason why I feel that
this rule should be relaxed is in
light of the fact that there are more
women at Clark than men, and ev-
Nat’l Teacher
Exams Scheduled
PRINCETON, N. J.—The National
Teacher Examinations, prepared and
administered annually by Educa
tional Testing Service, will be given
at 200 testing centers throughout
the United States on Saturday,
February 16, 1952.
At the one-day testing session a
candidate may take the Common
Examinations, which include tests
in Professional Information, Gen
eral Culture, English Expression,
and Non-verbal Reasoning; and one
or two of nine Optional Examina
tions, designed to demonstrate mast
ery of subject matter to be taught.
The college which a candidate is at
tending, or the school system in
which he is seeking employment,
will advise him whether he should
take the National Teacher Examina
tions, and which of the Optional
Examinations to select.
en if all the fellows escorted Clark
women there would still be some
women left out. In other words, it
would be impossible for all Clark
women to come to a dance escorted
by a Clark man.
I think that the two formal dances
would be much mare successful and
enjoyable if the above suggestions
were taken under consideration.
It appeared to the writer tragic
indeed that a ballroom so beauti-

The Fashion Show consisted of lene Walker, who portrayed the girl
shopping, school, formal, and night .who goes to dinner on Sunday with
wear attire. In the school attire an unpressed suit, low casual shoes,
scene some very nice ideas were chewing gum, and her meal book in

buttons on each side of the skirt night wear consisting of miss-
which was enligtened by a white, matched pajamas, of green and blue
long-sleeve blouse. For a little ad
ded attraction an orchid-colored
handkerchief was used. This made
a very lovely outfit for school, foot
ball and dressy occasions. Rose also
modeled a beautiful green English
imported suit with black velvet ac
cessories. She really stunned the
audience.
Another outstanding moment was
another section of the school scene,
featuring Marilyn Robinson and
Charles Teamer. Marilyn wore a
darling, green, tweed, double
breasted weskit suit with a lime,
turtle neck jersey blouse. Quite the
ideal thing for around the campus.
Claretha McAlphin and Robert
Knox had a dinner date; both were
well dressed for the occasion. Eve
lyn Shye was out for a culture pro
gram. She wore a red, crepe dress,
trimmed in velvet and rhinestone
and topped with a black velvet
jacket.
The boys from Pfeiffer Hall really
did their part to make this fashion
show a success, especially, Robert
Knox and Maurice Thompson, who
modeled two handsome overcoats.
One coat was beige with set-in
pockets; the other f a sky blue with
patch pockets. You boys really
don’t know how much you added to

dent themes referred to above, and
my own thinking lead me to this
definition of morals: morals are pub
lic opinion about desirable and un
desirable conduct. No one partic
ular group or organization determi
nes morals . . . .many do. Organized
religion, of course, constitutes one
of the most important moral agen
cies for many people. Such people
need or accept the “policing” of con
duct which religion uses, and relig
ious policing rests essentially on
fear of punishment or hope for re
ward in the next world.
The utility of the wprd “morals”
will be seriously limited if these
conflicting meanings are not clari
fied.

BOB: It’s wonderful to be here, Bing.
This is your first program of the sea
son, I presume?
BING: No, Bob. This is my third.
BOB: And you’ve just called me in?
BING: Well, you wouldn’t expect a
coach to start the season off with the
scrub team, would you ?

BING: Say, Bob, I’m coming out with
a new group of items called "Bing’s
Things,” and I’m looking for a line of
children’s toys. What did you play with
when you were a little boyt
BOB: Little girls.

BING: I wish you could have been
with me when I caught that swordfish.
BOB: Why so, Bing?
BING: I wouldn’t have had to har
poon him. He could have looked at you
and jealous’d himself to death.

BOB: I want to thank you for that
big smoked salmon you sent me from
Canada.
BING: Oh, you got the salmon all
right, huh?
BOB: Yes, and when I first opened the
box I thought it was you. But really,
it was wonderful. What did you smoke
it with, Bing?
BING: Chesterfields 1 What elset

BING: Ah, yes, the end of an almost
perfect summer. The vacation inter
lude was not without its mishapa

BOB: I did fall into the river, and I
came very close to drowning.
BING: Yes, it was almost a perfect
summer.

BOB: Jane Wyman, there’s a real
glamor gal. Gosh, she’s done love scenes
with all the handsome leading men.

forever.
