Major General Lewis B. Hershey,
Director of Selective Service, an
nounced that Selective Service will
not make any special provisions to
give students 30 days after the end of
their academic year to enlist in the
service of their choice. General
Hershey explained that such ar
rangements are not necessary this
year as the 1951 amendments to the
Selective Service law provide that
students are henceforth to be de
ferred instead of having their in
duction postponed. They will, there
fore, have ample opportunity alter
the completion of their academic
year to enlist in the service of their
choice.
The Selective Service Act of 1948
provided that any student who,
while satisfactorily pursuing a full
time course, was ordered for induc
tion would upon presenting the
facts to his local board have his in
duction postponed until the end of
his academic year. At the end of the
year, the student bacame liable for
immediate induction. The 1951 a-
mendments to the Act changed this,
General Hershey pointed out, by
providing that any student pursuing
a full-time course who was ordered
for induction would, if he had never
before been deferred as a student,
be deferred in Class I-S until the
end of his academic year, but ha
could receive only one such defer
ment.

The loss to Alabama State in no
way reflects any infraction of train
ing rules. The team simply could
not cope with the fired-up offense
and defense of the Hornets.
There is also some huimor in this
first loss. Freddie Jackson was told
to substitute for Leon Carlton in the
0
Alabama game when, with two
minutes remaining in the game, the
score was 58-53. “Cool-headed”
Freddie promptly removed his play
ing jersey and reported to the desk.
Suddenly it dawned upon him that
something was wrong. Hastily, but
undaunted, he put his jersey on and
entered the game.
. Florida A & M’s cancellation of
the Clark-Florida game has many
fans wondering why Ed Oglesby,
the Florida coach, had such a sud
den change of plans.
Oglesby’s claim was that he should
be entitled to a return match at his
own gym if he played Clark in At
lanta.
The Clark schedule showed that
under no' circustances could a Clark
-Florida game in Florida be arrang
ed, for it would be all but impossi
ble for the Clark team to go all the
way to Florida to crowd another
contest into the already crowded
schedule—and so so near tourna
ment time at that.

More than ninety seniors donned caps and gowns for the first time
when Clark College celebrated the 83rd anniversary of its founding

Medical Colleges
recommend MCAT
Princeton, N. J., January 11. Can
didates for admission to medical
school in the fall of 1953 are advised
tt take the Medical College Admis
sion Test in May, it was announced
by Educational Testing Service,
which prepares and administers the
test for the Association of American
Medical Colleges. These tests, re
quired of applicants by a number of
leading medical colleges throughout
the country, will be given twice
during the current calendar year.
Candidates taking the May test,
however, will be able to furnish
scores to institutions in early fall,
when many medical colleges begin
the selection tf their next entering
class.
Candidates may take the MCAT
on Saturday, May 10, 1952, or on
Monday, November 3, 1952, at ad
ministrations to be held at more
than 300 local ceters in all parts of
the country. The Association of A-
merican Medical Colleges recom
mends that candidates for admission
to classes starting in the fall of 1953
take the May test.
The MCAT consists of tests of
general scholastic ability, a test on
understanding of modern society,
and an achievement test in science.
According to ETS, no special pre
paration other than a review of
science subjects is necessary. All
questions are of the objective type.
Application forms and a Bulletin
of Information, which gives details
of registration and administration,
as well as sample questions, are a-
vailable from pre-medical advisers
or directly from Educational Test
ing Service, Box 592, Princeton, N.
J. Completed applications must
reach the ETS office by April 26 and
October 20, respectively, for the
May 10 and November 3 administra
tions.
ABC Man Gives
'em Away
Freshmen have been leading the
way in winning the carton of Ches
terfield cigarettes offered each week
to the student who guesses the score
of the Saturday night Clark basket
ball, games.
The “Score-guessing” contest,
started three weeks ago, has aided
in arousing interest in basketball
games—not that it was lacking, how
ever.
A box is posted in Pfeiffer Hall
to be used as the entry box into
which guesses as to the score of the
Saturday night games may be plac
ed.
Participating on the program
were Nathaniel Thomas, president
of the class of 1952; Professor Wiley
S. Bolden, who represented the fac
ulty; Mrs. Birdie Wallace, president
of the Atlanta Clark Club; Mr.
Thomas Fagan, vice-president of the
National Alumni Association; Rev.
E. W. McMillan, representing the
Atlanta Conference of the Metho
dist Church. Rev. S. Marion Weeks,
Director of Religious Life at the
College, gave the invocations.
The principal remarks made by
President James P. Brawley empha
sized the responsibilities of the
candidates for graduation. He call
ed attention to the heritage left by
the founders and warned the gradu
ates that it was their “sacred task
and duty to make Clark College
great.” A few of the future responsi
bilities which he enumerated to
them were; 1) loyalty and devotion
to the College; 2) continuation of
the search for truth as a never end
ing quest; 3) exhibition and demon
stration of a maturing social life;
4) concern for national problems;
and 5) preserving and maintaining
the essential values commensurate
with the high ideals of the college.
Special music was rendered by
the Philharmonic Society under
the direction of Dr. J. deKoven Kill-
ingsworth, assisted by Mrs. Marion
E. Sykes and Miss La Verne Gaith
er.
. The singing of the Alma Mater
concluded the program.

Challenging
Position; AASA
WASHINGTON, D. C., February
7—“Schools superintendents get dis
membered day by day, but they’re
too tough to die.”
Despite the hazards suggested by
this quotation from a 464-page study
released recently by the Ameri
can Association of School Adminis
trators, (AASA), the group still be
lieves that the position of superin
tendent in the public schools today
presents an almost unequaled chal
lenge among modem American pro
fessions.
To support the sentiment about
“dismemberment” quoted above, the
commission cites some of the pres
sures faced by superintendents a-
cross the nation:
!
“The community without conflict
ing social pressures is nonexistent.
The superintendent finds himself
the center of the complexity which
characterizes life in America today
Whether he is in a small rural com
munity cut off from others or in a
teeming city composed of many
small comunities, the conflicting in
fluences of church, politices, eco
nomics, social life, and personalities
will be present in varying degrees.
tt
According to the report, the most
clearcut contrast in organzied com
munity influence is between some
groups who represent property in
terests and those who primarily de
sire improved and expanded serv
ices from the schools.

Ala State ends
Clark's Streak
Clark’s league-leading Panthers
were never able to overcome the
parly-agressive Alabama State Hor
nets in Montgomery on Friday, Feb.
16, and were subdued by the upset-
minded Hornet quintet 65-54.
With a combination of fast-break
ing and set shooting wizardry that
set the pace of the game the Hor
nets were ahead early in the game
and remained there until late in the
fourth quarter when James Trice
tied the score after a Clark rally.
Three times afterward, with as lit
tle time left in the game as two
minutes, the score was knotted, but
each time Alabama forged ahead
and at the end put on an offensive
burst which decisively sank all
Clark hopes.
Fashions
By YVONNE SOUTHALL
ELIZABETHAN CORSETS BACK
The spring’s fashions require the
smallest waist line since 1947. Now,
for those who need a little help to
make their waist line smaller a
brand new; style has been created
for you. What is this new creation?
It is a corset Yes, it is new, too,
for this corset is to be worn on the
outside of the dress. It is designed
especially to decorate your skirt,
blouse, sweater and dress.
This will be especially helpful to
the wide waisted girl for it will im
prove her appearance by taking at
least two inches off the waist line.
The material and construction of
the new waist cincher (pincher)
make it a comfortable garment.
A leather styled corselet four and
one half inches wide worn over a
plaid silk or tafetta dress really
makes an outstanding outfit
Whirling, great full skirts, a little
shorter this year, ahead in new
cotton, linen, rayon, and many oth
er fabrics are just the thing to go
with this new Elizabethan outside
corselet The full skirts tend to
give the small girl a lovely hip ar
rangement and add lots of glamour
to her personality.
But still, we will have our form-
fitting skirts, for the average and
larger size girls, so she will have
the opportunity to wear this unique
combination (corselet and skirt).

of inadequate job opportunities, in
ferior educational facilities and
lack of complete citizenship. At
least some of these things have been
offered him, in the urban centers of
the North where the question of
welfare of all people is primary and
the race issue is secondary.
What is most unfortunate is that
our whole pattern of reasoning is
out of tune with the development
and movement of world problems
as they affect the position of this
nation in the total framework of
things. While we are trying to
preach democracy to the world on
one side of the fence, we are failing
miserably to live up to this preach
ing right in our own back yards.
