Anyone For Viet Nam? by Antonio L. Thomas With the conflict in Viet Nam being a front page story every day, it is the feeling of the Co-Editor that this paper would not be worth printing if it did not contain at least one article on the subject. However, I must admit that I am not very anxious to write on such an issue. My reluctancy is not due to the controver sial issues involved, but to what seems to be a very limited interest by the Atlanta University Center in such a vital subject. It appears that the men are only interested to the extent that they may receive “the call” any day. The women are only con cerned about their “loved ones” who have already been drafted. The rationality of this limited interest, and not the rationality of the conflict, is the concern of this editorial. In talking with other students, I found three basic reasons for our lack of interest: 1) There are those of us who feel that our schools are our private worlds and that which happens on the “outside” does not concern us. This is of course a bid indictment of any Liberal Arts Institution. 2) There are those of us who feel that an interest in Viet Nam means mass demonstrations, picket lines and teach-ins. This is one of the results of our participation in the “Negro Re volt.” 3) There are those of us who feel that we have no workable solution to the problem and our activity under such con ditions would only worsen the conflict. For this, only we are to blame. As was pointed out at the outset, it is not the purpose of this Editorial to pass judgment on our rationale. However, as one among you, I must say that we can not carve out our individual niche in this world and hide in it. We can not be selfish by re fusing to share our knowledge with others. We can not be afraid to error for it is in error that we may find the truth. It is only in this way that we can be true students. The Panther does not offer a solution to the conflict in Viet Nam. However it is our belief that through students participating in meaningful dialogue, we can together find a solution.

The Panther Sonnet of Love Love, to me, is that unmeasurable thing That swells the heart to fullness, And of this fullness we do sing. Though be you dull; I love that dullness, Bright; that brightness within me shines As though I’ve drunk some heav enly potion. When you’re drunk with heavenly wines Loving you is my eternal notion. Does you heart bear love for me That does not on hidden factors depend? Will you always be mine truly From the first “Our Father” to last Amen? Placing you first must be The core of my destiny. By Miss Frenchy Hodges. Eighteen Years Eighteen years behind me now, Just what lies ahead? Where’ll I be in eighteen more, And what will be my dread? Eighteen behind me now And I have won no fame, No excitement is given When I pronounce my name. Eighteen years in the past, They all say I’ll succeed, I want to write a novel For everyone to read. Being eighteen is a good old age, It makes me realize, That I’m a baby no longer In any man’s eyes. Eighteen is a heavenly age, Eight years and a decade gone, I wonder will this many more Find me aged and alone?

Clark College Features Outstanding Folksinger Sunday afternoon cultural hour presented Karen Duke, on October 17, 1965 at 5:30 in Davage Auditorium. One of America’s most beautiful folk- singers. She was able to capti vate her audience from the be ginning of the program until the end, and there the applause rang for more. Good music always reflects reality as mirrored by the hu man soul — a wealth of emo tions, moods and ideas. That is why the greatest and finest works of music are created when human perception is at its keenest—periods which inspire fiery passions and lofty ambi tions. Our songs derive from many sources. Every European musician coming in contact with American folk music is imme diately impressed by it. Folk- singers demonstrate that folk songs appeal to the heart and they are the common property of people. Karen Duke — “Songs with Origin of the Alma Mater We of today, who sing, “There’s a School on a Hill,” little realize how this song came into existence. In the fall of 1920, Dr. Andrew King, then President of Clark University, offered a prize of five dollars for the best original song which would express the ideals of the University and its students. After hearing the appeal of Dr. King, Herbert Morrison went home and composed the song overnight. The tune he used was that of “Mother Machree,” in honor of his beloved and older sister, the late wife of Mr. W. T. Cunningham, an alumnus. She had en couraged and aided him financially in his struggle to get an educa tion. The tune was her favorite. By ballot, the students and faculty voted for the present song, which was written by Herbert Morrison, a member of the Class of 1924. Guitar” varied including both old and new. She played the guitar exceptionally well. With her vivid interpretations; sweet clear voice; and fine musician- ship, as both a singer and guitarist, will live long in the memory of all who heard her.
