8 MAY, 1965 The Panther Student Travel Made Easier By New Coed Club Champions shown presenting trophy and basketball to President Brawley in chapel program. Panthers Roll Up Championship Clark College's 62-61 victory over Bethune-Cookman in the finals of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Basket ball Tournament at Tuskegee this year climaxed a series of tour nament efforts in which the Panthers made five consecutive near misses at the championship in five consecutive years. The Clarkites have probably played more tournament games since 1960 than any other SIAC team. In 1960, 1961 and 1962 they took third places at the tournament. In 1963 they placed second. Last year they came back to Atlanta with fourth place and this year cham pionship. These are by no means the only years of prominence for Clark in basketball, however, for it is seldom that Clark teams fail to bring home a trophy from the tournament. The last time they won the top trophy was in 1955, and they won a visitation crown in 1952. In 1950 the Clarkites won third place, and in 1951 they won second place at the tournament. This year Clark missed out on the Visitation championship by a single game, nosed out by Bethune-Cookman whom they later met and defeated in the tournament finals. Clark rode to the tournament championship on victories over Benedict and South Carolina State. They overcame a Beth une-Cookman lead in the final six minutes of the tournament finals to win the championship. Craig Morgan, a three year vet eran, cinched the game for Clark with two free-throws. Clark’s Ronald Jackson and Sam Brown were named to the All Tournament team. Jackson is from Chicago and Brown is one of seven New Yorkers on the Clark team. Their coach is L. S. Epps, who has piloted Clark's basketball team since 1950. A new organization to revo lutionize coed student travel has been launched from New York City. It is the Trans-Atlantic Student Association with offices at 387 Park Avenue South. The Trans-Atlantic Student Association (TRASA) was formed by a group of recent col lege graduates to remove the frustrations of student travel and to bring overseas travel within the budget of every student in the United States. Special features of the TRASA plan include financing for vacations, air transport ar rangements, group tours and accommodation in major Euro pean cities for TRASA mem bers. In addition, the organiza tion will operate a student nightclub in New York City and will provide students with a wide variety of travel services, advice and publications. It has reciprocal club facilities in major European cities where its members can meet European students and take part in genu ine European student life. In this way, TRASA’s organizers believe a European visit will be come more enjoyable and more worthwhile. The aim is to achieve integration with Euro pean student activities and not to make gawking tourists out of American students. The organization will publish The Free Thinkers Organize It has been a year now since an overwhelming enthusiasm and fervor besieged a small group of people on this campus. That is to say, it has been a year since the Freethinkers society was born. The Freethinkers were originated as a method of protest against the sleepy and complacent atmosphere on the campus. It was a protest against the shal lowness of student values and the general anti-intellectualism permeating Clark. For the few originators, con structing a group of this sort seemed to be an incredibly dif ficult task. However, we were delirious to find so many stu dents and instructors interested. The general aims of the group are to destroy the pro vincial narrowness of our in tellectual range. We encourage self expression and objective thinking. We have attempted & f twelve travel guides this sum mer and plans to arrange travel for some twenty thousand stu dents to Europe, the Caribbean and Israel between June and August this year. A representative of TRASA described its functions this way: "More and more, travel is an integral part of the college cur riculum and any student who does not venture abroad finds himself not only having missed the pleasure and excitement of a vacation overseas, but also is at a decided disadvantage in his studies." The spokesman went on to explain that TRASA would be able to achieve uniquely low travel prices because of its large membership and comprehensive approach to the problems of students when traveling. Clark Observes Religious Emphasis Week On March 24, Dr. Kenneth I. Brown spoke at Clark.

We hope that this group or other groups like this one can find a permanent and vivid place on this campus. We want this group to be a stimulus to bigger and better things for Clark! —Lois Benjamin Paradox People come into and go Out of the vast Nothingness as though They had nothing to do: To sit alone complaining Of misfortunes, fleeing From life as though it were a violent rooster With brazen feet.
