Peace Corp Alumna
Visits Alma Mater
Miss Carolyn Dukes, two-year Peace Corps alumna of Clark
College, returned and visited her alma mater during the Freshman
Guide Workshop. September 5, 1964. It was “with a note of
satisfaction and gladness" that she discussed the Orientation Week
theme—“Human Involvement:
Guides and personnel wish to
share, in part, her discussion:
. . . We know that Human
Involvement connotes many
things. Today, I shall be con
cerned with the human ele
ment—You. This Human In
volvement does mean contact
with required knowledge and
effort. This can be done only
when there is a definite end—
whether it be of care, responsi
bility, respect, love, knowledge,
and of righteousness. They are
a bond of togetherness. They
are a syndrome of attitudes
which are to be found in the
mature person; that is. in the
person who develops his own
powers productively, who has
acquired humility based on the
inner strength which only gen
uine productive activity can
give.
When we speak of all these
attributes, we are thinking of
Brotherhood working with the
mind. Understanding is of the
mind—but Brotherhood is of
the heart.
One can learn so much and
gain incitement into various
concepts of life, by meeting and
getting to know one another
and exchanging ideas. . . .
What is your responsibility
and concern as collegians? As
future leaders? This can be an
swered by you only; though I
would like to share my feelings
on these questions.
You Must Give. The most im
portant sphere of giving, how
ever, is not that of material
things, but lies in the specific
ally human realm. What does
one person give to another? He
gives of himself, of the most
precious he has. he gives of his
life. . . .
In this giving of one's life
through Human Involvement,
one enriches the other person,
enhances the other's sense of

In Far East
Airman First Class Nudie E.
Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ezell Pete, Sr., of 509 Willis
Ave.. Youngstown, Ohio, has
arrived with his unit for a tem
porary duty tour at Misawa
AB. Japan, a Pacific Air Force
installation.
Airman Williams, an aircraft
electrician, came from Cannon
AFB. N. M. His unit normally
operates there under the direc
tion of the Tactical Air Com
mand (TAC). which provides
firepower and other air support
for U.S. Army forces.
The airman, a graduate of
Fairfield High School at Bir
mingham, Ala., received his
B.S. degree from Clark College
at Atlanta, Ga. He is a member
of Omega Psi Phi.
TAC units are rotated fre
quently to overseas bases to
maintain a high degree of flexi
bility and combat readiness.
Upon completion of the rota
tional tour. Airman Williams
will return to his home base.
Gateway to the Future.” The
aliveness. But in giving, one
cannot help bringing something
to life in the other person, and
this which is bright to life re
flects back to him.
In the act of giving some
thing is born—a new future—
progress—and both persons in
volved are grateful for the life
that is born for both of them.
You—as Freshman Guides
are the leaders. An example
must be set by you; not showy
model, but a living and realistic
one. . . .
Guides, when this new school
year begins, whether it be your
second or fourth; try to take
advantage of all given oppor
tunities; seek new horizons; and
don't waste time. These things
are much too valuable in this
modern and progressive world.
You can only continue to
go forward by developing your
reason by finding a new har
mony, a human one, instead of
the pre-human harmony which
is irretreivably lost. . . .
Now is the time to look, act,
and progress intelligently like
college students, and put away
our chronic gaze of stupefaction
at lively problems. If there is
any time to be as men and
women—THE TIME IS NOW!
Physics Department
Gets New Equipment
Two new and highly com
plex devices for instructional
and research purposes have
been acquired by Clark and
Morehouse Colleges through
The General Electric Company
for use by students in the At
lanta University Center.
The equipment—an X-ray
diffraction unit which will be
installed at Clark, and a record
ing spectrophotometer which
will be located at Morehouse—
will be used by students
throughout the University Cen
ter. according to Drs. James P.
Brawley and Benjamin E. Mays,
presidents of the two institu
tions.
Normally valued at nearly
$40,000, the two devices are
being made available to the col
leges by The General Electric
Company at a fraction of that
figure under the GE Equipment
Assistance Program for insti
tutions of higher education.
The X-ray diffraction unit—
used for analyzing the chemical
and physical properties of solids
and compounds—will be in
stalled in a special temperature
and humidity controlled room
in the Physics Laboratory of
Clark College. The recording
spectrophotometer — used for
color measurement and analy
sis in chemical research — will
be in the Chemistry Department
at Morehouse College.
“Acquisition of this valuable
equipment will help us substan
tially in efforts to maintain our
laboratories at the standards re
quired for high quality work,”
the presidents said.
