VICTORY TOMORROW OR BUST! Panther SUPPORT THE PANTHERS Volume XXV, No. 1 CLARK COLLEGE, ATLANTA, GEORGIA November 23, 1961 Panthers and Wolverines In Showdown Tomorrow Clark College’s Panthers will be out to break a jinx which has put them on the short end of the score with Mor ris Brown since 1949. Tomorrow marks the thirty-seventh renewal of this contest, which annually pulls a crowd suffi cient to fill Herndon Stadium. tossed two incomplete passes, then tried another on third down. Coming up from his defensive position, fullback Herman Hunter, who came back to Clark as an as sistant coach several years ago, snatched the errant ball from a would-be received and raced 70 yards to clinch the game for Clark. The Panthers added insult to in jury by scoring the extra point and gaining a 14-6 victory. Although the Clarkites have lost two games this season, a victory over Morris Brown would be suf ficient to rate the 1961 season as “the best in many years.” Some fans would even rate it over the 1959 season in which the Cardinal and Black was defeated only once. Since 1924, the earliest record (Continued on Page 8) As in several years, the 1961 contest is rated a toss-up. Both teams stand at about mid-point in Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association ratings, with Clark rated just above Morris Brown. Defense was the major concern of the Clark coach staff as they went through final drills in prep aration for the season’s finale. If the Clarkites can muster the de fensive strength which they have displayed in several outings this season, they stand an excellent chance of ending the famine which has prevailed in games with Mor ris Brown for a dozen years. Clark last beat Morris Brown in 1948. It was a crowd-pleasing game, for Clark fans. The Panthers were leading 7-6 with seconds re maining on the clock. Morris Brown had possession of the ball at about the mid-field point. With time running out, the Wolverines Clark Inaugurates A DevelopmentProgram A development program aimed at broadening the base of support for Clark College among corpora tions, foundations and individuals has been instituted. Serving as Associate Director of the program is Randall L. Tyus, formerly field director for the United Negro College Fund and presently on leave from Bache and Company, New York investment house. Lincoln Speaks at Ford Hall Forum Addressing an overflow audience at Boston’s famous Ford Hall Forum recently, Dr. C. Eric Lin coln said the “mature and rational manner in which the desegregation problem has been handled in At lanta has set the Muslim program in the South back five years.” The Clark College professor of Social Philosophy was teamed with Arnold Forster, national civil rights director of the Anti-Defama- (Continued on Page 7) Enrollment Levels at 799 Records in the Registrar’s Office at Clark show that there are 799 students enrolled at the college this semester. Women again lead in numbers, with U96 members of the fairer sex listed on the books, as against 303 men. By classes, there are U50 freshmen(including new freshmen and “second-year” freshmen). Sophomores number 169; there are 150 juniors, and the class has 125 members. By sex, the freshmen have 211 women and 139 men. There are 100 women in the sophomore class and 69 men. The 150- member junior class numbers 93 women and 57 men. There are 90 women in the senior class and 35 men. In the four classes there are 52 students who are continuing their education after interruptions of one or more semesters. Seven students transferred to Clark from other colleges. Fourteen Listed In Who’s Who Fourteen Clark College Students have won listing in WHO’S WHO AMONG STUDENTS, an annual listing of outstanding students in American Colleges and Univer sities. Elected by the faculty, SGA President and Presidents of the junior and seniors classes were De- lores Patricia Aldridge, Shirley Frazier Banks, Robert E. Glover, Patricia Anne Guines, Gwendolyn E. Kornegay, Gladys Luster, Willie Allen Moss, Alyce Fay Ringer, Johnny Washington Scott, James M. Shopshire, Mark Sullivan, Rob ert Houston Tucker, Christine Sparks and Linda White. Students were elected on the basis of academic average, campus citizenship, and participation in extra-curricular activities. Accord ing to criteria established last year, a student must have an overall average of 1.750 and an average of 2.000 (honor roll) in at least half of the semesters he has studied at Clark. Clark students have been listed in the publication each year since 1952 with present Clark faculty members Avery Burress and Har old Hamilton among the original Clark students to appear in the listings. Since that time some 154 Clarkites have had their biog raphies listed. Procedure for electing students to the publication was changed in recent years when it was deemed necessary to establish more rigid qualifications, including successful completion of the English Funda mental Examination, a 1.750 (C) average, and honor roll listing in a minimum of half the semesters a student has studied at the college. Five Clark Gridders To Play Last Game Five seniors will be playing their last game for Clark to morrow. They are Gilbert Tur- mon, stand-out tackle, and half backs Johnny Scott, Ray Hughes, Joseph Mullins and fullback Charles Hood. The fine set of halfbacks Clark has had for four years will be wiped out completely. Johnny Scott and Charles Hood have been stalwarts defensively, and latel Hood has done some exceptional ball carrying. Hughes is one of the college’s all-time great ground gainers who probably would have com piled a record for yards gained in four years except that in juries last year sidelined him for much of the season. Campus Gets Much Needed Bulletin Board In Lobby With construction of a large bulletin board at the east entrance of the administration building a long-felt need has been met. All that remains now is for used of the board to keep it attractive by post ing notices neatly, by removing old notices, and by avoiding use of scraps of paper for notices. The office of the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds urges that no notices be posted on walls throughout the building. Bulletin boards are to be read. Quite often a student regrets learn ing of an event once it has passed. Keep up to date with what’s hap pening on the campus and partici pate in many events. Fifteen Hours Credit Can Be Earned Through Clark Honors Program A Clark student may earn as much as fifteen semester hours credit in independent study and conferences, research or field proj ects through the institution’s hon ors program. According to Dean A. A. Mc- Pheeters, director of the Clark Honors Program, the program is set up to provide an opportunity for students of exceptional ability and achievement to carry on group and independent work as well as to facilitate a cooperative effort in which members of instructional de partments can work more closely with their superior students. Under the honors program, a student could finish his college work as much as a semester earlier than normally. To qualify for hon ors work, however, a student must first have a better-than-average academic record in courses in his field of major study. With a thesis and an oral and/or written comprehensive examination as a requisite for completion of honors courses, students will get some idea of what they will meet later as graduate students. SAMUEL OKEMA and IVAN HAKEEM Clark students from Uganda and India President Brawley Announced Developments At Institute Developments in several areas highlighted announce ments made by Clark College President James B. Brawley during a faculty institute held prior to the opening of the college’s 93rd year. The annual institute, a week- long series of discussions, brought together members of the college’s faculty and staff to review and put into effect plans made earlier. The college’s recent develop ments in academic and non-aca demic areas were announced by Dr. Brawley as part of his initial ad dress to the faculty and staff and are part of the institution’s ten- year program which will culminate when the college celebrates its 100th anniversary in 1969. First in the series of new pro- groms announced by Dr. Brawley was the inauguration of a Devel opment Program. Defining the goals of the program, Dr. Brawley called it “a dynamic undertaking, aimed at the continuing and pro gressive enhancement of the ed ucational program at Clark through improved facilities, an able and creative faculty and the in- bleand creative faculty and the in surance of continued excellence. Although there are immediate needs which must be met with reference to the physical plant of the college.” he continued, “the long-range objectives of the De- Magazine Describes Research at Clark The current edition of Science Education News, published by the American Association of the Ad vancement of Science, features an article describing research at Clark in the Department of Chemistry.

Eric Lincoln of the Clark College Department of Religion and Philosophy was recently hon ored by the world famous Commu nity Church of New York for his contributions to literature and to the social sciences. At a dinner held in his honor, Dr. Lincoln was cited as “a schol ar with a fresh vision . . . whose penetrating analysis of contempo rary problems in human relations, names him to that elite corps of creative intellectuals who sustain America’s hopes and expectations for a better tomorrow.” Dr. Lincoln was introduced by Dr. Donald Szantho Harrington, minister of the 1800-member con gregation. Dr. Harrington reviewed Professor Lincoln’s recent book, The Black Muslims In America, after which Dr. Lincoln responded with a brief lecture on “The Ene mies of Integration.” The Community is of Unitarian affiliation. At one period of its long history, every member of its Board was the president of a cor poration. ' It became famous for its liberal social concern under the leadership of John Haynes Holmes, a widely- known name in the so-called “so cial gospel” of fifty years ago. Dr. Holmes is now Minister Emeritus of the mid-town church.
