CLARK PANTHER, MAY 21, 1952, ATLANTA, GEORGIA PAGE FIVE Men’s Ensemble Fast Becoming Popular Singing Group With ten golden voices and a com petent director, the Men’s Ensemble is fast becoming a popular singing group on the Clark campus. Wallace Hartsfield, a member of the sophomore class, went out bn a taleiit hunt in January, 1951 and found some young men who were interested in becoming members of an all-male singing group. Later, the group was organized under the supervision of Miss Ollie B. Brown of the Clark Music Department, who is their director. Since then, many Who became interested in the en semble have fallen by the wayside. However, there are ten remaining who have great plans in store for their organization. ' Their most recent appearance was at a banquet honoring Atlanta’s “Man of the Year”, Dr. Richard C. Hackney, during the spring recess. This proved to be a most profitable appearance for them as they receiv ed two offers for future appear ances. The first came from Ken Knight who offered them an ap pearance on his Saturday evening radio program over station WERD. The second was to appear in' con cert at Knoxville College, Knox ville, Tenn. ' ^ Last year they sang at the cele bration of the John Hope Homes’ anniversary, at which time Mayor Hartsfield was the principal speaker. In addition they have appeared be fore the Clark family nunlerous times, and are now: preparing for appearances on the annual Women’s Glee Club concert as guests and on the Senior Home Economic Stu dents candlelight service. Their main problem is the acqui sition of music. Heretofore, they have been learning music from whatever source they could get it, mainly from the Music Department through the courtesies of Professor Killingsworth and Miss Brown. However, plans are underway for securing music next year, which may enable them to appear in their own concert. They are eager to learn new songs and have a love for singing. Through this eagerness and love for singing they are able to pro gress rapidly and can usually learn a sheet of music in two practice ses sions, practicing for one hour twice per week. Of the group their director, Miss Brown says, “I love to work with them because they are very coop erative and have a desire to sing and through these measures we have made a success of our young organi zation.” Members of the Men’s Ensemble are: Walter Willis, William David, and Edward Hughes, first tenors: Ernest Pharr and Robert Knox, sec ond tenors: Charles Teamer, Lander Scott, and Horace Laster, baritones: Edwin Pratt and Robert Lewis, bas ses, and Robert Thomas, pianist. Who knows what is in store for these young men and their organi zation? Maybe some talent scout will be instrumental in an appear ance on Arthur Goodfrey’s Talent Scout show. Those' who date make better grades because the dates fulfill cer tain desires which tend to reduce worry and feelings of inferiority, according to the research. Dating has two functions, said Prof. Oyler, social experience an* dates for in tellectual experience. Good person al adjustment is a part of sexual ad justment and is a part of dating. News From Greekdom Alpha How many "Eddies” Are you going to be an “Ed die?” At the end of the first semester a certain young man in Pfeiffer Hall was nicknam ed “Eddie”, because his final grades looked something like this—“E-D-D-I-E.” With the second semester quickly drawing to a close, the final examinations will begin on May 26. Have you done your best? You could be something worse than an “Ed die.” You could be a “F-I-F-I.” True, the weather is beauti ful and makes us lazy, but come on students, let’s dig in! Fashions By YVONNE SOUTHALL SPRING OF 1952 Spring of 1952 brings great variety in styles for the fashion followers. This year anything seems to go. Full sleeves, 1 long, pleated, or no sleeves at all with straight, flared, pleated, gathered skirts ah will be worn. Up until last year the fasliion commentators said, only three col ors would be worn. Now they have raised it five. This will make our customers appear very bright and gay. This year we have the privilege to wjear pink. Pink as in pink, not mauve, not shocking, not dusty rose, but pink as in pink roses. Brunettes will look extra special in pink. Red heads, as they come slowly to rec ognize, are ravishing in it also. Flattery is good for any girl, and pink is the most shameless flatter ers of all the colors. Not orchid, not peach—pink, the fresh clear color that roses come in. Even our accessories may come in the delightful colors of pink, maize, aqua, ice blue, lilac, and many other gorgeous colors. The two-toned affect in bright colors will be used and plaid, strips, polka dots too. The new hair length is five inches from the scalp. The poodle cut is a very excellent hair style for this length. A well-Set poodle cut is no trouble to take care of. If your face is round, get more height on top and have the sides close to the head. If your face is long, have the sides wider than usual. For those with long hair the pony-tail suits prati- cally everyone, and just needs an occasional trim of the bangs and ends. The pony-tail is a dream to take care of. A As 1 said before, any tiling goes. The new spring hats are all shapes and sizas with plenty of decorations of flowers, bows, and veils. Some hats are merely veils alone with flowers attached to them. These, head pieces are very popular. Yet the wide brim hats are still, in style for those sunny days in the sum- nter. Dating and Scholarship COLUMBUS, O—College marri ages turn out much better than high school marriages because those who go to college tend to be better ad justed socially, according to Prof. Merton D. Oyler, director of the Marriage Counseling Clinic at Ohio State University. Students are - romatically minded , and practical, but they seem, to bei dating with sound ana genuine thought, a report on dating declar-' ied. High school students who date usually, make better grades than those who don’t, said the study. The same thing probably follows over into college dates and grades, Prof. Oyler said. Dates alone do not help scholar ship, but dating and better or above average grades are parts of the liv ing of a weU-adjusted individual youth in present-day society, the re search continued. A minimum of dating is necessary to prepare your self for life, said Prof. Oyler, be cause “dating is a normal function of growing up.” Leap Year Warning As the official cj^y for ob serving leap year (February 29) was checked off the calen dar, Boston University’s mar riage counselor warned wom- eli who try to take advantage of leap year that they are ruining their chances. In a survey of students, Dr. Herbert Lamson, professor of sociology and director of the University i marriage clinic, found that the chief reason why college men drop coed girl friends is that the girls are inclined to get-too serious too soon. The survey included 130 men in the university’s col lege of business administra tion and 20 men' and 35 wom en iriy the college of ..liberal arts. Other reasons given by men for dropping the fair sex were, “She acts too silly, poor manners, poor family back ground, and poor personali ty.” Nagging wives, one rea son most often given by men fo^unhappy marriages, show ed up sixth on the list when men said they disliked women who fussed over details. Men ranked the girl’s “looks” only fourteenth as a factor caus ing them to break off. Women usually dropped \ men because of little things such as mannerisms and “act ing foolish too often.” They weren’t quite as hostile to the idea of, discussing marriage early in a courtship, as this rankecfcthird on the list. Not enough money won ninth place on the women’s list, while a difference in polities ranked eleventh, ahead of twelfth place, “not affection ate enough”, the reason given most often by women for an unhappy marriage, the Boston University professor con cluded. By IVAN J. ROPER Brothers Walter Willis and Wal lace Hartsfield were featured in the Annual Music Festival on April 20 with the Philharmonic Society.

An Easter egg hunt for the chil dren began the afternoon of fun and excitement. The group participated in games, and various prizes were awarded to the winners. Easter baskets, made by the members of the sorority, containing candy eggs and souvenirs were given to the small children. The members of the Sorority also brought clothes which were very* much appreciated by the children. It was very interesting to note that no other Negro organization had adopted the home. Psi Chapter has done so, and plaits to make this an annual project. It is a wonderful feeling to know that we have help ed someone less fortunate to have a Happy Easter.

Loretta Fletcher, Reporter (Continued On Page 6) Lowe Continued From Page Two freedom—free from the tyranny which besets us at the present. We must be on the alert for ap peasement and as students we should not appease administrative forces in order to gain compromised objectives. On the other hand, we must be straight forward and walk the middle of the line for all-out freedom victory. If we walk singly, we are liable to be exterminated, but if we walk together, extermina tion is impossible.
