United Negro College Fund
Drive Successful
•' *
Once again, Clark College went over the top in its annual United
Negro College Fund drive when more than $2,000 was reported on
the final day of the campaign last Friday morning in Davage Audi
torium.
Heading the classes were the sophomores who led all the way and
took all class honors under their hard-working sponsors. Their candi
date for the title of “Miss UNCF,” Theresa Scott, was subsequently
named Queen of the Clark drive as a result of her class having won.
The juniors placed second, the freshmen, third; and the seniors,
fourth.
t
The amount reported does not indicate the final tabulations for
the' campaign, as faculty contributions have not been included. With
all figures in, the final total should exceed the goal.
Steered by Dr. William H. Hale, general chairman of the drive,
the Central Committee realized its purpose of structuring the cam
paign with the idea of making both faculty and students more aware
of their responsibilities as beneficiaries of the Fund, and at the same
time achieve the 1 College’s goal with a minimum of difficulty. Each
class was divided into groups of twelve, with each group having a
definite goal to reach. Working with each group was a faculty member
who served as advisor. Mrs. S. H. Cureton’s sophomore group was the
most outstanding and was honored with a special dinner on the 1 closing
day. The entire class was honored as guests of the College at a dance
on the following night in the Thayer Hall Recreation Room.
As a result of the more than successful campaign, a holiday was
proclaimed last Friday signifying appreciation to students, faculty
members and others for their contributions and aggressive work.
At press time, the final figures were not available for release.
Oh, Please! What Next?
Recently, an assignment was
made for a certain Clarkite, who is
an avid follower of politics (or ap
pears to be) and a history student,
to take notes on a chapel program
during Negro History Week. The
article came back with the names
of Chiang-Kai-Shek and Syngman
Rhee spelled, “Shang-Kai-Check”
and “Singum Rie.”
tosses. Students at the South Car
olina Colleges could not believe
Clark had lost fourteen games
after beating their teams so hor
ribly. When asked, “What happened
that you lost 14 games?” Offie
Clark and Joseph “Sarge” Daniels
fired this answer: “Well, I tell you.
This team is a new team. We fired
those guys who lost the fourteen
games for us.”
In correcting a paper in an Eng
lish class one day, the corrector
came across the spelling of a word
which was supposed to spell
r-o-u-g-h. This word, through some
big error, came to be spelled,
“r-u-f-f.” (Mr. Webster, is that the
new spelling?)
On another road trip, the
“Beetlebomb” gracefully glided
onto the enemy campus when up
comes a rash young man who asks,
“Hey, where is the other half of
your bus?”
Here is a reply sent to the Alum
ni Office by a sarcastic alumnus
when cards were sent for records of
what the alumni were doing. Here
goes: For degree, the person had,
“none.” For the year graduated, the
answer was, “nary.” For occupa
tion came the reply, “present and
permanent.” In conclusion, there
was a blank which allowed for a
statement on advanced study, aca
demic honors, or activities since
graduation. This was the reply:
“Attending my own business and
leaving yours alone.”
Then, there is the one on Ernest
M. Pharr which happened at Be-
thune-Cookman in Daytona Beach,
Fla. “Dirty Red” Pharr had just
corrected “Big Red” Hubbard on
his use of English grammar while
playing cards. After the cards were
dealt, “Red” said to “Big Red:”
“Hey, Red. I got a good-un.” Was
he embarrassed ? What do you
think? (Here’s hoping the English
Department looks over this col
umn).
The basketball team was on the
road winding up its conference bas
ketball season in the Palmetto
State. The fighting Panthers had
won five straight games with great
accuracy on shots and charity
A senior who is witnessing the
fourth publication of a college an
nual since he has been here does
not know the official office of the
head of the staff. Elridge McMillan,
Editor of the 1953 Panther, was
asked by this senior: “Hey, McMil
lan, are you the President of the
yearbook?”

Yearbook Taking
Shape as Staff
Steps Up Pace
With changes in the staff, the
1952-53 Clark College annual
is slowly but surely taking shape
as one of the finest annuals to be
produced by Clark annual staffs.
Under the supervision of ad
visor, Dr. F. Summersette, Editor
Elridge McMillan has the majori
ty of individual ipictuyes set up
at the printers. The major portion
of pictures of Clark College activ
ities and organizations have been
taken and are now being process-
fed for inclusion in the dummy.
Photographer Charles W. Lowe is
on the job every week marking
additional photos and reakes in
order to adequately visualize life
at Clark College in the coming pub
lication.
With many second semester ac
tivities still in their pre-natal
stages, the annual staff will take
them as they become visual to the
Clark family. The final product is
expected to go to bed in April, and
the press should be ready to roll
in time for distribution of the
books before or during the second
semester final examinations.
The staff consists of Terah Whit
ten and Leila Ingersoll, associate
editors; Norris Muldrow and Har
old Barrett, sports editors; Mary
Ruth Smith, class editor; Charles
Teamer, fraternity editor; Ida
Baugh, sorority editor; Dorothy
Hunter, music editor; and Ernest
M. Pharr, Arthur Johnson, Samuel
Rosser, Yvonne Southall, Willye
Stoney, George Johnson and Willie
F. Kelsey, special assistants.

Health for All
Preventing Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis and automobile ac
cidents may seem to have little in
common, but they are alike in that
both can be prevented. Both rank
tragically high among causes of;
death in this country. In' 1950,
highway accidents caused 33,577
deaths, and tuberculosis 33,633.
Gross death rates from both
causes were thus identical, 22 per
100,000.
Most of us are familiar at first
hand with the perils of the high
way. Almost daily we see news
paper accounts of spectacular mo
tor accidents. We are all aware of
the need for preventive measures.
Although tuberculosis is less
publicized, we must not forget that
it can be just as deadly as a car
out of control. And just as un
necessary. Knowledge of the facts
about the disease is the first pre
ventive weapon.
Tuberculosis is a chronic, com
municable disease caused by a
germ called the tubercle bacillus,
which is spread from person to
person. It is not inherited, any
more than is careless driving. It
does not afttack just the young and
frail. Anybody can catch TB, rich
or poor, young or old.
The “rules of the road” to pre
vent tuberculosis require: a bal
anced, nourishing diet; plenty of
sleep; moderate outdoor recrea
tion; clothing suited to the weath
er to prevent colds; avoiding peo
ple who do not cover coughs and
sneezes, and having a regular med
ical examination with a chest
X-ray at?feast once a year.
Tuberculosis seldom shows any
outward symptoms in the early
stages, but the X-ray can detect
it. The sooner TB is discovered,
the better are the chances for
quick recovery, and the smaller are
the chances for the germs to find
new victims.

Spring Invades
Clark Campus
In the Spring a young man’s
fancy turns to—love ? baseball ?
thoughts of graduation? or of final
exams ? “Spring is coming and the
sap is rising! Let’s change this to
the past tense and say, “Spring has
come and the sap has risen!”
The trees are blossoming, the
grass is greener. Young and old
men alike have taken their gaily
colored short sleeve sport shirts,
light-weight pants, bright argyle
socks, saddle oxfords, buckskins,
loafers and moccasins out of the
moth-balls. The young women have
pealed off their coats and are pa
rading the campus in brightly col
ored skirts, blouses, socks and
shoes. The “bearskins” have been
packed away until winter comes
again!
Seniors Take Over
(Continued from Page One)
the faculty and student body par
ticipating. The subject, “What Can
Clark Do To Develop More Loyal
Alumni” was thoroughly discussed
by the participants.
Participants on the panel dis
cussion were Miss Margaret Aik-
*n, representing the Alumni; Miss
Esther Jackson and Mr. A. B.
Wright, representing the faculty;
and Willye F. Stoney and Carter
Lowe, seniors,who spoke as rep
resentatives of the student body.
Spring Recess
April 3.7
Whatever the traits of Spring,
Clark has it! Spring is signifying
the near-closing of another school
year. With basketball now faded
from the sports scene, track, swim
ming, baseball and tennis are com
ing into view. The warm weather,
becoming moreso each day, will
bring about sluggishness and the
tendency of wholesale class cutting.
Let us not allow the sap to rise too
much!
Welcome Spring!
Keep Off
The Grass!
Mr. Albert Wilson, Super
intendent of Buildings and
Grounds, has asked the PAN
THER to request Clark stu
dents to refrain from tread
ing on the grass.
Mr. Wilson states that the
most offenses occur among
the men, who make short
cuts from the dormitory to
points on and beyond Fair
Street, from the College
laundry to the campus, and
from the dormitory to the
dining hall. He further states
that young women also take
a short-cut from Holmes Hall
across the grass to the dining
hall.
Then, too, there are high
school and grammar grade
students who journey through
our campus on their way to
and from school. We must
set examples for them and
request them to use the walk
ways.
Spring is coming and noth
ing is more beautiful than
rich; green grass and blos
soming trees in beautifying
and adding color to the cam
pus. KEEP CLARK GREEN!
