Points to Ponder
He who never has learned
to love
Shall never have a love
to learn.
The race was never won
That was finished before
it had begun.
The mind shall never know
content
But by its labors given vent.
Strong winds make tight sails
He never won who knew not
he could fail.
Success ad failure are relative
terms;
He who succeeds but fails
to fail, pi
He who fails but succeeds
to fail,
In each is embedded the
others’ germs.

lege open tourney competing
with teams from. American,
George Washington, St. John’s,
and Maryland Universities and
North Carolina A&T, Mary-
mont, Morehouse and Morgan
State Colleges.
The Clark Debaters did not
win any trophies, but were
quite proud of themselves for
the team that won the tour
ney —i American University,
with a 7-1 record — lost the
one round to Clark College De
bating Team.
After spending a day in
Washington, the team ended
the tour at South Carolina
State College by engaging in
a one round non-decision de
bate.
Robert Tucker and James
Shopshire comprised the neg
ative half of the team, and
Haskell Ward and James L.
Feleder made up the affirjna-

Dr. Robinson’s theme was
“Alternatives for a Time of

livered three sermons in Sis

Monday, Feb. 27 through
Thursday, March 2, at 10 a. m.
the Clark College faculty, stu
dents and visitors heard ser
mons from Dr. Daniel Web

his A.B. degree from Langston
University, PhD degree from
Boston University anad D.D.
degree from Eden Theological
Seminary.
The theme this year for Re
ligious Emphasis Week at
Clark College was, “Crossroads
in Religion and Morality in the
Struggle for Social Change.”
Periods for discussions were
planned with the subject mat
ter based on the theme. Fac
ulty members, students and
visitors were welcomed and
encouraged to take part in
these discussions, which were
FANNIE BRIDGES
For the first time in the his
tory of Clark College the fresh
man class of 61 proved to the
Clark College family that it
could be done. Yes, the fresh
man class has earned the op
portunity to have one of their
classmates crowned Miss UNFC
for the years 61-62. They raised
a total of 964 dollars and this
gave them 3.47 cents per capita
which made it possible for their
candidate to become the recip
ient of the title Miss UNCF.
From the beginning of the 61
campaign it has been a 'belief
that this would happen because
the freshman class was under
the leadership of Nurse Chand
ler and James Green. These two
have sponsored the winning class
for nine straight years; so it is
easy to see why the freshman
class won.

other notes, they wll be easier to
find and study.
As in most classes, many not
es must be taken especially of
those points which are not
found in the textbook. These
notes should be written neatly
while listening to the lecturer
but this is not possible the not
es should be organized immedi
ately before you forget exactly
what was said by the lecturer.
The reason for most students’
“frustrations” before an assign
ment is their failure to listen to
assignments carefully and take
directions accurately. Not only
could they curtail these “frus
trations” by taking directions ac
curately but they might make
long-range preparation for these
assignments by planning so
led by Hr. Wynn.
It is the belief of those that
planned this Religious Empha
sis Week that those who at
tended these services and dis
cussions gained great rewards
which will benefit themm mor
ally and spiritually. With the
thought that this is the only
time in the school year that a
worship service of this nature
is observed it was hoped that
all would put aside everything
in honor of Religious Empha
sis Week.
Recognition should be given
to the members of the com
mittee for Religious Emphasis
Week for having worked so
deligently in their efforts to
make this a successful wor
ship period. The faculty mem
bers of this committee were
Rev. Roland Haynos, chair
man; Dr. James P Brawley,
co-chairman; Dr. C. Eric Lin
coln; Dr. J. Killingsworth; Dr.
Herbert Rodgers, and Dean C.
R. Hamilton. They were assist
ed by students.

Do you study by a schedule?
That is one decision you must
make for yourself, though it is
always best to make your sche
dule rather flexible. We read
rules for studying but until we
put these rules into effect, they
:are without value.
Let’s start this semester by
first of all, placing your values
yhere they will be most useful
and putting studying rules in
action. By the end! of this semes
ter you can have that “A” or
“B” you wanted.
The echo will be—
Somebody said that it
couldn’t be done,
But he with a chuckle rel
plied
That “maybe it couldn’t,
but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he
tried.

nominations. Also this campus
chapter should accept any girl
or young woman in the commu
nity who is a Christian, a doubt
ing Christian, or a young woman
who is seeking the truth.
The next factor of importance
after membership, Mrs. Gard
after membership, Mrs. Gardner
stated, is an executive commit
tee. “This committee is concern
ed with the problems of the
campus and! community”. Also
this committee, along with the
other members that constitute
the YWOA chapter, should at
tempt to translate religion into
everyday life through work, vo
cations, and interracial situa
tions.
The speaker then gave the
YWCA’s stand concerning hu
man relations. She said in 1946
an Interracial Charter was issu
ed expressing the views of the
YWCA in refrence to this mat
ter. Also the YWCA supports
the Student Non-Violent Move
ment, meets and eats where
everyone can meet, regardless of
race and all meetings held by
the YWCA are open to all.
Mrs. Gardner mentioned! the
following opportunities that are
afforded to the college student
by the YWCA: Summer Confer
ence, National Student Council,
Summer Projects, Citizens Se
minar, Industrial Seminar, and
College Service.
On the national level, such op
portunities as Project Volun
teers Aboard and USSR-USA
Exchange program are offered
by the YWCA.

Although they had to go near
ly a thousand miles to do it,
Clank College’s third-place SIAC
winners finally turned the ta
bles on Morris Brown, handing
the Wolverines a 74-73 defeat
in Chicago.
The game was sponsored by
Clark alumnus C. J. Chisholm
and played at Chicago’s St. Ann
High School. Proceeds have
been esigned 1 for scholarships for
Clark students.
Kentucky State was originally
scheduled to play Clark several
road games following the sea

Along the athletic line, we see
brother Mullins, Hood!, and Ar
rington who we hail for their
outstanding work in the field of
athletics.
Brother Thomas, along with
his interest in the ministry and
speaking ability, has a deep in
terest in the fine arts. He has
been very helpful along the de
signing and decorating line. He
has been helped in many of
these endeavors by brother
Charles Johnson who is return
ing to school after an absence
of one year. Brother Johnson
appears on the scene in all areas.
We have planned several
programs that will take place
during the year which should be
inspiring and helpful to all who
see and hear. It might also be
noted that our sweetheart for
the year, .Miss Vera Turner, has
been an asset in helping to plan
for these programs. Beside 'being
charming, beautiful, and poised,
she is a very creative thinker
which has been mosit helpful to
