4 NOVEMBER, 1965 The Panther Departmental News Department News Department News Department News Religion and Philosophy Dept. [ ^ Tours Europe Dr. H. Rogers, chairman of the Religion and Philosophy de partment here at Clark, toured four countries in Europe this summer. He was accompanied by his wife and two daughters. The four countries they visited were England, France, Belgium, and Holland. While in London, England, they visited Westminster Abbey, the Parliament Building, and they went to see Shakespeare Land. Along with many other historical sites, they saw memor ials to the late President Ken nedy and President Roosevelt. In Paris, they visited many of the famous places, and they found the people of Paris to be a little unwilling toward helping tourists. Belgium was found to be fascinating and beautiful. While there, they took a trip to Brussels to see remains of the 1956 world’s fair. Dr. Rogers said it was exciting to see many of the old women of Belgium working patiently making fine lace by hand. Holland, being the last coun try visited, was found to be more like the United States. He said that the windmills are becoming extinct, and many of the histori cal buildings are under construc tion for modernization. Holland is a clean country, and the people are very friendly and helpful. Dr. Rogers stated that this trip was a great experience for him, because since he is in phi losophy he was able to see many of the things he had read about. He saw homes of many of the great philosophers, and he was on the street where Wesley was converted. Physics Department Clark Awarded New Equipment The Western Electric Com pany of New York has awarded a 1965 equipment grant to the department of physics under its “College Gift Program.” This program is under the direction of Dr. O. P. Puri, Chairman of the Physics Department. The purpose of this program is to assist engineering educa tion and scientific research. The material being supplied through this program is intended for use in constructing laboratory ap paratus for instruction purposes and for use in student academic research. Art Department Faculty Members Exhibit Work This month the Art Depart ment is featuring the work of Faculty member, Alan Stecker. Mr. Stecker earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Florida State University and a Master of Fine Arts Degree from the Rhode Island School of Design. He has exhibited in many na tional and regional shows and he has work in private collec tions in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Philadelphia. The present exhibition is a cross sec tion of work done in oils, casein, and print media. Floyd Coleman of the Art De partment has had a painting se lected for exhibition in the Southeastern Annual at the At lanta Art Association Museum. The Southeastern Annual is scheduled to travel to museums in Georgia, Louisiana and Ten nessee and other southern states. Music Department The various classes in the de partment are making progress in each of the areas in musician- ship. There is an increased en rollment in the freshman class. The following states are repre sented: Alabama, Florida, Ten nessee, and Georgia. Among the new students are two transfers, a sophomore and a junior. The Philharmonic Society is rehearsing daily for the annual Christmas Vesper Service to be given on Sunday, December fifth at four o’clock. It will fea ture the Christmas portion of Handel’s Messiah. A discussion concerning the composer and music will be given during the last week in November. The choral group is heard each Wednesday at the formal chapel services.

Biology Department A record 115 Clarkites are registered as majors in Biology for the year 1965-66. This num ber far exceeds that of any pre vious year. Of this number 53 are freshmen, 40 sophomores, 11 juniors and 12 seniors. The first departmental semi nar, on October 19, featured an alumnus of the department, Dr. Alfred Turk, a 1951 graduate of Clark, and a graduate of the Harvard University Medical School, as speaker. His subject was concerning “The Study of Medicine.” After emphasizing the value of his background at Clark, Dr. Turk described the curriculum, Residency, Extern- ship and Internship. He sug gested that applications to stud ies would assure a student of the need to burn less “midnight oil” in Medical school. He further emphasized the importance of developing interest in humani ties and social studies so that Business Administration Department Business and Extra-curricular Activities The ever demanding forces in society today that have placed a heavy burden of educational re quirements on the shoulders of Business men and women, gives them little time for many extra curricular activities. However, the Business Forum took time out of their busy schedule to put their full forces into the home coming parade and festivities. In accordance with the theme of homecoming, the Forum placed a float entitled, “Business in Space,” in the parade. It was representative of the foresighted ness of what the ultramodern business office will be in the fu ture. In helping to add to the at tractiveness of the float was Miss Business Forum, Maaga Waldemusie, a freshman with a major in Business Education. Miss Waldemusie presented a picture of loveliness which would be an asset to any busi ness in the present or the future. As the poet Lord Byron has said, “She walks in beauty like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meets in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow’d to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.” To add to the picture of the “Business in Space” was a typi cal Business man of the future, Mr. Business Forum, in the per son of Mr. Leo Shingles, a sen ior with a major in Business Ed ucation. The Business Forum would like to extend a special thanks to Miss Waldemusie and Mr. Shingles for their untiring ef forts in making such an excellent representation for the group. We would like to extend a note of appreciation to Miss Jennye Townsend for all the as sistance and excellent super vision in helping us to maneuver every detail of the homecoming activities. A very special thanks is ex tended to Veronica Sims, Leo Shingles, Ronald Patrick and Jerry Butler for the exceptional job they did in decorating the float. Keep your sights on the “ac tion group of the future business world,” the Clark College Busi ness Forum. President: Veronica Sims Reporter: Bea Madison the Physician might be better prepared to take his place as a contributing member of his com munity. The comments heard most often from students follow ing the seminar was “Inspiring.” An open “round-table” on “The Cell” will be the feature of the next seminar. English Department Clark’s Literary Symposium to See Magna Carta When the Magna Carta, the great charter of English liber ties, comes to Atlanta to be dis played at the High Museum of Art, November 1-7, Clark’s Literary Symposium will have the distinct pleasure of observ ing this great charter.

Retreat which was held at Lake Alatoona proved to be very successful on the whole, in achieving most of the desired goals of the students. The two-day trip provided the students with a chance to ex plore and go into detail on major issues and problems that confront the student body. The trip consisted of fifty- eight (58) students and three Math Department Clark College’s Mathematics Department has undergone two changes for the 1965-66 school year. First, the addition of a new math instructor, Mr. Willie Spikes, has increased the de partment to five full time mem bers. Mr. Spikes joins the facul ty of Clark College after having taught at Southern University and Albany State College. He received his B.S. degree from Clark College and his M.S. de gree from Atlanta University. He has also done summer study at the University of Kansas. Secondly, the department thinks that it is offering a much better general math program this year in the sense that it is more modern in treatment. For the first time they are actually teach ing freshman mathematics on the freshman college level. The department feels that this pro gram will better prepare the en tering freshmen for those areas of concentration here at Clark. During the summer Dr. Den nis taught at the Mathematical Institute of South Carolina State College in cooperation with the National Science Foundation, Mrs. Harris taught at Atlanta University, and Mr. Hall worked with Morehouse’s Intensified Pre-Study Program. Mr. Dallas Roland Wingo, a junior majoring in mathematics, participated in the Student- Trainee Program at Forest Products Laboratory in cooper ation with the University of Wis consin where he did an original research project in Thermo-Dy namics. The title of the project was tl ‘A Method For Determin ing The Convective Heat Loss From Various Wood Surfaces.” The following graduates are doing graduate work: Mrs. Ez- zard at the University of Wis consin, Mr. Ernest Long at Georgia Tech, and Mr. Robert Marcus at U.C.L.A. faculty advisors. After all plans had been drawn for the coming year, the meeting was ad journed. In the next issue of the Panther a complete and detailed report will be given on the com mittees and plans of the S.G.A. for the coming year. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF S. G. A.
