Page Six CLARK PANTHER, NOVEMBER 30, 1953, ATLANTA GEORGIA Looking at the Greek Garage Like all other phases of Clark activity, the Greeks have begun another year’s work in their re spective bonds of fraternalism and sisterhood. Called on frequently to take the leadership in campus drives, etc., and to make contri butions to said drives, the Greeks continued their work in the recent campus Community Chest Drive. Responding wholeheartedly to the call, contributing organizations were Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi Fraternities; Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho, Alpha Kappa Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta Sororities; and Iota Beta Chemi cal Society and Beta Phi Zeta Bi ological Society. As on other college campuses where Greek-letter organizations are present, Clark’s “secret order societies” have their activities reg ulated by the Committee on Fra ternities and Sororities of which Mr. Waymon A. Carver is chair man. In a short while, these so cieties will get the “okay” to in itiate new and old members into their folds and freshmen will see, for the first time, pledgees and probates traveling through their traditional antics seeking the goal to which they have aspired. One of the most-looked for “happen ings” on a college campus, pro bation antics usually draw the de light of all non-Greeks. Next in line is the Pan-Hellenic Council, an organization to which all Greek-letter societies are rep resented. Norman J. Johnson, Jr., heads this organization in which all the societies come together to iron out their problems and make recommendations for activities. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has as its head, Basileus Addie Flora Brown while Martha Sumter heads the Deltas, Elizabeth Campbell, the Methodist Student Conference in Kan. More than 2,300 college students and adult counselors have been •amed delegates to the fifth quad rennial conference of the Methodist Student Movement to open Decem ber 28 at the University of Kan sas, Lawrence,' and run through January 2. Delegates will represent every state and include 200 foreign stu dents. “Christ Transforming Culture” will be the program theme as stu dents seek to come to grips with problems and issues of Christian faith and action. Eminent platform speakers, who will discuss theological and educa tional aspects of modern culture, include Dr. Ralph W. Sockman, pastor of Christ Methodist Church, New York City; Dr. Nels F. S. Ferre of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. Albert Out- ler of Southern Methodist Univer sity, Dallas, Tex.; Dr. Glenn Olds, University of Denver; Dr. Harold Ehrensperger, Boston University; Dr. John O. Gross of the Meth odist Board of Education, Nash ville; Bishop Donald H. Tippett, San Francisco; Bishop Newell S. Booth, Elizabethville, Africa, and Philippe Maury, Geneva, Switzer land, general secretary of the World Student Christian Federa tion. Between platform hours the stu dents will have ample opportunity to share experiences and speak their minds in study groups, for ums and campus-style “bull ses sions.” Daily Bible studies will be led by Dr. Charles S. Laymon, Nash ville, editor of Methodist adult publications. A special New Year’s eve cele bration of Holy Communion will be led by Bishop Matthew W. Clair, St. Louis. Zetas and Rosa Hart heads the Sigma Gamma Rhos. Alpha Phi Al pha Fraternity is under the gavel of Walter Willis, Jr., and the Omegas have as their Basileus, William Murphy, Jr. Samuel B. Rosser is the acting head of Iota Beta Chem ical Society and Robert Lewis is the Kappa Alpha Psi Polemarch. Seen in chapel programs this year were the Kappas, Ques and Alphas. On November 10, Robert Lewis, Polemarch of Gamma Kap pa Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., presented Mr. Wil- liston C. Hobbs of the Morris Brown Mathematics Department in a piano recital which was enjoyed by all chapel-goers who called him back for three encores with their uproarious applause. The Omegas were seen in their annual Achievement Week Pro gram, November 17, when Dr. E. B. Williams, chairman of the De partment of Economics at More house College, delivered an enlight ening address centered around the Ques’ 1953 theme, “Opportunities and Responsibilities of Integrated Citizenship In Our Democracy.” Achievement Week awards were presented to Dr. Albert E. Manley, president of Spelman College, “Omega Man of The Year” and Dr. William H. Hale, chairman of the Clark Social Science Depart ment, “Citizen of the Year.” With Walter Willis, Jr., presi dent, the Alphas observed their Founder’s Day in a chapel pro gram, December 3rd. Bom, Decem ber 4th, 1906, Alphas around the United States observed the 47th year of their founding. Mr. Jacob R. Henderson, former Southeastern vice-president of the Fraternity, delivered an enlightening address for the members of Alpha Phi Chapter’s observance. Criticizes System Of U.S. Education Grinnell, la. — (I.P.) — Under graduate students should have an education which would make them able to contribute to the under standing of human affairs, Prof. James H. Stauss, head of the De partment of Economics at Grinnell College declared here recently. He criticized our educational system, saying that “higher education in the United States is shamefully neglected." Students should have large doses of language and literature, train- . ing in history, and social affairs, recommended Stauss. “They must be able to understand the prob lems which arise in our society.” He also recommended that econom ics courses and the entire curric ulum in our present colleges should be revised. “People must have a regard for the implications of so ciety,” Stauss added. Stauss stated that the study of philosophy of education is neces sary for better citizenship and democratic leadership. Education for leadership has a historical set ting, he continued, and has been noticed since the time of the an cient Greek culture. At that time it was the core of ethics and the Greeks recognized it as a basic part of learning. Philosophy was considered a liberal arts course, but, in some instances, it was con sidered a higher learning, Stauss pointed out. Opportunity for learn ing has been haphazard and edu cation for citizenship survives only as a recorded memory, he added. Stauss declared that there were three major developments affecting education: the founding of univer sities, the rise of humanistic edu cation, and expansion of scientific knowledge. The subject matter, he explained, came to be stated in ab stractions. “With the developments came a remodeling of education for citi zenship. Also, a loose branching of political and social sciences was begun,” he stated. Annual Blood Bowl Battle Ends In 27-27 Tie Playing just for “kicks” and dis playing sore backs, and tightened leg and arm muscles the next morn ing, two “get-together” squads of non-Panther football players bat tled to a 27-27 tie in their annual Thanksgiving morning “Blood Bowl” battle on the lawn of CC. In a hard fought tussle, with pro tective clothing nowhere in sight, Charles Teamer tallied two touch downs and one extra point to lead the “X” team in scoring. Other scorers were Leroy Banks, six points and William Richardson, seven points. For the “Y” team, George Davis topped the scorers with 13 points while Douglas Fairbanks Rowland, Jr., contributed eight and Emerson Packer, six points. Captaining the “X” team were Billy Richardson and Leroy Banks. Players were Fred Burney, Warren Rouse, Edsel Carson, Ralph Bal lard, Walter Sullivan, Robert Lew is, Leonard King, Rudolph Cohen, Charles Teamer and the captains. On the “Y" team were Douglas Rowland and George Davis, cap tains, Arlen Crawford, Emersorv Packer, Joe Daniels, Leon Alexan der, Alfred Dockett, John Dudley, Walter Dudley and William Her ring. “MISS BLOOD BOWL” for this year’s squards was Reba Gripper, senior Elected attendant was Vir ginia Prather and personal attend ant, Evelyn Hodges.

Twenty-Seven Are With Uncle Sam “I’m telling you! All the men you have missed around here, I have with me in the service of the United States” were the words of one of our most recent graduates who returned to Clark for a visit dressed in the familiar brown uni form of Uncle Sam. Out of thirty- seven men who were graduated with the Class of 1953, twenty-one received their “greetings” from their dear ole Uncle while getting their “goodbyes” (in the form of degrees) from CC. This is believed to be the largest number of men inducted into the service after un dergrad days were terminated. As the male member's of the class of ’54 returned to what is, supposedly, their last year’s work at Clark, a degree of apprehension towards their educational desires came over them when discussion of what happened to last year’s graduates entered those famous bull-sessions. A breakdown shows that Fort Jackson, S. C. has received the major portion of Clark College’s losses. At the South Carolina camp are Curtis Ash, James Crute, Joe Morgan, Frank Odom, Ernest El lis, Harold Stovall, Julius Wimby and Alfred Knox. In addition, there are others who were grad uated in previous years (Marshall Smith and Joseph Chambers) and those who were yanked out of school namely, Darius Hairston, Spurgeon Sayles, James Sanders, Houston Ford, Louis Roberts, Franklin McCord, Lawrence Rizor and Elijah Jones. (Hmmm. They have enough to form a CC club). Others yanked out were Thomas Mann, Fort Dix, N. J., and Ray mond Anderson, Camp Gordon. Continuing with the seniors, Clarence Lewis, Arthur Johnson, John Cannon and Washington But ler are at Fort Bliss, Texas while Harold Barrett is stationed at Ab erdeen Proving Grounds, Md., and Henry Collins at Fort Ord, Cali fornia. All of these, with the ex ception of Butler, were members of last year’s gridiron squad. Also, in the service at other camps are Arthur J. Coleman, Robert Knox, Albert Stephenson, Harold Stovall, Maurice Thompson and Wilbert Christian. Staying out of the clutches of Uncle Sam and teaching or furthering their educa tion or just around are Carson Lee, Robert Lewis, Rufus McGee, Stanley Goseer, Perry Mitchell, Edwin Pratt, Solomon Sears, Wal ter Sullivan, Ammer Waters, Wil son Bostic, Robert Wynn, Norris Muldrow, and Milton McGhee. Many of these are expecting to go soon, a few have been, while others may be in the service of whom we are unaware. Walter Sullivan is associated with our chemistry department while Edwin Pratt is furthering his education at Atlanta University. Goseer is teaching in Florida, Sears in Georgia and McGee in Texas. “The Man Who Came To Dinner” Successfully Opens Drama Season “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” a popular three-act comedy by Moss Hart, opened the college’s 1953-54 playhouse before a highly appre ciative audience, November 6 and 7, in Davage Auditorium. With the selection of a very able cast, including many veterans, nearly every- once who saw the production agreed that it was a performance offtret order. SGA Outlines Years Objectives In two regular meetings and two called meetings, the Clark College Student Government Association has outlined its objectives for this college year. At the same time, it has taken through the proper chan nels items which have been brought to its attention by the stu dents—items of which some have been fulfilled while others are pending. Returning to collegiate activities from the summer vacation, the As sociation first welcomed in a let ter all the new faculty appointees, and then settled down to the elec tion of “Miss Clark.” Appointment of students to the various faculty committees was also completed. In the recent successful cam pus Community Chest Drive, the Association played its role in con tacting campus organizations for contributions in which full coopera tion was given. An event which brought some interest to the work of the SGA was the chapel pro gram in which a theme was worked out on the Clark-Morehouse game with the theme adapted from the popular radio and TV program, “Dragnet.” Other minor incidents brought to the Association’s at tention have been considered care fully. Next on the agenda is the ob servance of “Robert Phillip’s Day” in honor of the Clark captain who Director Esther M. Jackson stag ed a perfect cast and affable per formance that let the sarcastic hu mor of this well known play shift through with continuous effort The play, a comedy of both atmos phere and character, is all about Broadway and theatrical people in Neiw York. To begin witn, the setting made tthe world of the play very real to the audience. But the delightfulness of it went beyond that. The acting was superb witn Mr. Chestyn Ever ett, newly appointed art instructor, and Misses Elizabeth Campbell, Glo ria Matthews and Sandra Shepherd, in the leading roles. Protagonist Chestyn Everett as Sheridan Whiteside was pleasantly sarcastic. He spoke with a British aecent and handled the mirth-provoking dia logue with ease and credit, and his experience in the Florida A. and M. Theatre and with drama at How ard University, greatly enhanced the role which set the tone through out the umorous production. As “Mr. and Mrs. Stanley,” Eliz abeth Campbell and William Mur phy gave a brilliant performance. Miss Campbell revealed a great deal of simple sincerity and sub stantial goodness, while Mr. Mur phy performed with ease of ac tion. Sandra Shepherd as Lorraine Lorraine Sheldon (the actress) was a memorable character—vivacious and energetic in stlye, but coldly calculated. And the object of her affections, Pearson Parker, por traying actor Beverly Carlton, was relaxed, and conveyed the Illusion of complete spontaneity. Gloria Matthews as Whiteside’s secretary, Maggie Cutler; and Charles Teamer as Bert Jefferson, the reporter with whom she falls in love, were well drawn charac ters that lent color and dimension to the play. Others in the cast: Ermalene Cooper, Robert Daniels, Hetty Snype, Juanita Gideons, Rufus Pow ell, Fred Burney, Benjamin Ware, Gloria Daniels, Jesse Jennings, Ruth Kimball, Dorothy Peterson, Shellie Truss, Roland Perrin, Samuel Usher, William Herring, John Dudley, The odore Matthews, Wallace Mapp, Al fred Dockett and Charles Diggs, played their parts creditably and helped to make “The Man Who Came to Dinner” one of the Col lege's most enjoyable productions. was killed in the Korean police action. Initiated last December, the observance is set for the first day of basketball season. The headache lies in revision of the Association’s constitution in order that the constitution will be strengthened where needed. The major point of interest is the pos sible changing of the “Miss Clark” election from the Fall of the year to Spring in order to elleviate the problem of a green freshman class voting for persons whom they know nothing of. Subsequent ac tivities include possible affiliation with the National Student Govern ment Association, a possible night talent show, election of new offi cers, swearing-in ceremony and other items which come to our at tention. Students who have suggestions for activities, etc., should consult their class representatives or write a letter to the SGA President. Of ficers are Ernest M. Pharr, presi dent; Norman J. Johnson, Jr., vice- president and Elizabeth Campbell, secretary. The Class representa tives are Bertha L. Gholston, sen ior; Clifford Ferguson, junior; Clarence S. Ford and John W. Dud ley, sophomores and John W. O’Neal and James Kofa, freshmen.
