i II Campus Community Chest Drive Ranks 1st Among Undergrad Colleges Raising a total of $762.00, Clark College ranked first among the un dergraduate colleges of Atlanta in the annual Community Chest Drive which was terminated recently. The College campaign, headed by Registrar Edward J.’Brantley, was second only in the University Sys tem to Atlanta University which contributed more than $800. The Atlanta Negro Division of the Drive, headed by our own President James P. Brawley, was a tremendous success—going over the top in total contributions never before realized in the Drive. Dr. and Mrs. Brawley made the largest single contributions to the Drive. Dr. "Brawley came through with a personal gift .of $125.00 while Mrs. Brawley canvassed the city for this worthy cause, and from her efforts, she turned over $26 to the Clark cause. Other indi vidual contributors were Mr. Grant Adams, Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. El sie Lamar. The Faculty^ and Staff came through to lead all other phases of Clark’s efforts as they reported $318.75. Also contributing were the College’s maintenance workers and custodians who reported $27.00. In class competition, the fresh men ranked first, sophomores sec ond, seniors third and juniors fourth. Greek-letter organizations contributing, wholeheartedly, were Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta and Zeta Phi Beta Sorori ties; Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi Fraternities; Beta Phi Zeta Biological and Iota Beta Chemical Societies. Other organizations con tributing were the Young Wom en’s Christian Association, the Home Economics Department and the Women’s Ensemble. An interesting fact in the Drive is that Dean of Men Charlton Hamilton worked with two differ ent groups, and was able to get full cooperation from them—each (Lowe Photo) doing its share in meeting its quota. Student workers in the Drive were Elizabeth Campbell, Norman J. Johnson, Wallace S. Hartsfield, Ernest M. Pharr, Mamie Toland, John W. O’Neal, Alva Epps, John Dudley, and Sandra Shepherd.

X NOVEMBER, 1953 NO. 1 PANTHERS FALTER 20-0 Three Panthers On Twelve Faculty 117' r F I 117 I; All-SIAC Squads Members Study -VErt-SUS JElrEllvE IVlliE 8 Followers of pigskin warfare at Clark College during the past year rushed to the newsstands and oth er places for their Sunday morn ing, November 29, copy of the “At lanta Daily World” and were pleased to find that three mem bers of this year’s Cardinal and Black football squad had been se lected for all-conference honors. The three were Offie Clark, Joe Hart and Charles Stinson. The “Atlanta Daily World” sports staff, headed by Marion Jackson, published this year’s All- SIAC squad after extensive scout ing and scrutinization of the listed player’s who are said to be a “coaches dream” and compose a “million-dollar” squad. Offie Clark, known for his Hou- dini antics and antelope running at quarterback, was selected as first team All-SIAC quarterback. Charles Stinson, junior end, was selected second team right end for his offensive and defensive exploits this season. Big Joe Hart, the only freshman to make the Panther starting eleven, was named second team guard as a result of his “brute-strength” and impressive performance on the squad this past season. (For complete Panther statistics, watch for the Xmas edition of “The Panther.”) Twelve members of Clark Col lege’s faculty matriculated at lead ing universities during the past summer. Receiving degrees at the end of the sessions were Mrs. Phoebe F. Burney, Dean of Wom en, who won the Master of Re ligious Education degree from Gammon Theological Seminary; and Mrs. Eva S. Martin of the Personnel Department who re ceived the Master of Arts degree from Atlanta University. Mrs. Wil lie Cowen Davis of the Department of English also studied at Atlanta University.

D. from Gammon Theological Seminary is the new Director of Religious Life and AM-firiKoa anrl teacher of Religion. Many Clarkites and neutral fans were of the belief that this was the year for the Eppsmen who had displayed a flashy, deceptive, quick-strik ing backfield and a hard charging, bruising line, coupled with analytic and expert coaching, and rigid training during the playing season. But, the 200 pound-plus line of Morris Brown and its jet-propelled 1 backs were much more than the valiant Panthers could cope with.

(Continued 1 on page two) Using as a subject, “What Is It To Grow?”, Dr. Thomas said that “we should grow into the kind of personalities seeing us and know ing us would want to emulate.” He pointed out two areas of growth—growth in wisdom, which he said came not from the col lection of facts, but through wres tling with great ideas; and growth in stature. “It is not so much that we understand the ideas with which we wrestle, but that we grow in the process”, he asserted. The speaker concluded with the proposition that “there is no real separation between the higher learning and religion” since both aim toward the growth of man. Other worship speakers have been Walter Willis, Jr., senior and an aspirant for the pastorate; Dr. Charles Allen, pastor of Grace Methodist Church; Dr. M. L.

With Offie Clark under the “T”, the Eppsmen took the kickoff on their own 20 and with Brown, Sol omon, Clark and Givens in the backfield, they could push no fur ther than the enemy 45 where Clark punted to the MBC 25 in an attempt to “coffin comer” the leather. From here, the Brownies took the mail and the next time the Panthers saw it was on anoth er MBC kickoff. However, the end of the first quarter caught the Wolverines who were in the act of scoring.
