Light of Omega
Always Shines
Brightly
Even though the light of
Omega was seemingly dimin
ished by the loss of five stout
hearted, soulful brothers last
spring, the remaining brothers
have vowed to keep this light
shining even more brightly. Set
ting forth the idea that an
Omega man is a leader, the re
turning brothers have captured
some of the most outstanding
offices on campus. Disliking me-
diocry, these brothers have pre
sented programs to their respec
tive organizations which will be
of valuable aid to the student
body. Beta Psi, under the com
petent leadership of its Basilius,
the prolific William Gordon, Jr.,
has entered into a new era of
achievements. With the charm
ing, vivacious, lovely Joyce Y.
Williams reigning as Miss
Omega is indeed an inspiration
for accomplishments. With an
other idea in mind, an Omega
man is versatile, Beta Psi has
drafted a program which not
only will be of valuable aid to
the student body but one which
will be of valuable aid to the
community and nation as well.
To enhance the Homecoming
activities, Beta Psi presented an
uncomparable float with the
lovely Miss Omega and her at
tendants sitting aloft to spectac-
ularize the affair.
It is the aim of the brothers
to present speakers during their
Achievement Week to enlighten
the student body on outstanding
questions facing the nation. The
light of Omega beacons “Come
to me as a man and I’ll make
you an Omega man.” Therefore,
in the very near future Beta Psi
will present the men who are
aspiring to become Omega men.
Other activities for the semester
Sigma Gamma Rho
News Round-Up
The 1965-66 school term
promises to be a most profitable
one for the sorors of Phi Chap
ter Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority.
We were well represented in the
Homecoming Parade by soror
Gwendolyn Letman who reigned
as “Miss Sigma Gamma Rho.”
After the homecoming festivi
ties, the sorors busied them
selves with plans for a “rush
party” which was held in the
“rec” of Thayer Hall on October
2, 1965.
Presently Sigma sorors are
engaged in plan-making for an
All-Greek Fashion Tea which
will be held at the Ollie Street
branch of the Y.M.C.A. on No
vember 21st. We are confident
that this venture will be a suc
cessful one. We will also make
our annual Founder’s Week Ob
servance during the week of the
22nd of November in a chapel
program. Many more activities
are in the making for the Sigmas
this year. Watch for them.
The newly elected officers of
Phi Chapter are:
Basileus
Ann Fanning Downer
Anti-Basileus Lois Benjamin
Grammateus-Rosalind Webb
Tamiochus
Gwendolyn Letman
Dean of Pledgees
Vivian Tucker
Mrs. Gladys Cothran serves
as our faculty advisor.
include informing the student
body of the numerous advan
tages of entering the foreign
service and attempting to aid
all interested students in enter
ing the foreign service.
With a prolific Basilius, pro
viding the leadership, a viva
cious queen and court serving
as inspiration and uncompar
able, soulful brothers serving as
beacons, the light of Omega will
shine brighter this school year.
In the Midst of
Sigma Land
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity be
gan this school year with the
recognition of their queens.
“Miss Sigma” is the vivacious
Joethel Cooper and reigning in
her court are Jo Anne Harvey
and Eddie Sue Hill.
The Sigmas had two cars
which were artistically decorated
in the Homecoming parade.
“Miss Sigma” occupied the
white Oldsmobile convertible
while her attendants rode in a
blue convertible.
At the Homecoming game
“Miss Sigma” was escorted out
on the field by Brother William
Watts, President of the frater
nity. They attended the Red-
and-Black Ball later that eve
ning.
Brother Marion Phillips, Pres
ident of the SGA, was the Mas
ter of Ceremony for the Home-
.coming festivities.
A very important event for
the fraternity was the Center
wide Phi Beta Sigma Smoker-
Banquet sponsored by the grad
uate brothers at Paschal’s Res
taurant.
The fraternity is looking for
ward to welcoming into their
midst new brothers after they
have crossed the “burning
sands.”

The mighty football machine
of the Clark College “Panthers”
was launched September 25,
1965 in Jackson, Tennessee
against Lane College. The “Pan
thers” had a very successful
blast-off rising to a height of 26
points while Lane wobbled
scoreless. It seemed as though
the Panthers would be uncon
trollable as they dropped the
first stage of their nine game
schedule. Elijah Nevett sparked
the Panthers in the initial game
scoring three of four Clark
touchdowns. Rookie back, Way-
mond Docks showed his ability
as he was Nevett’s lone accom
plice in the scoring department.
Bugs Develop: Panthers Fall
As the Panthers prepared to
drop the second stage of their
schedule, complications devel
oped in the defensive unit. With
a defense unable to click and
stop the scoring punch of the
Fort Valley “Wildcats”, Clark
fell to a 28 to 6 defeat. Once
again, in this exhibition, Docks
refused to be denied the task of
paydirt, as he scored Clark’s
only six points.
As the “Panthers” rocketed

Moses’ adjectives for describ
ing the upperclassmen were
“magnanimous” and “viva
cious.” After looking these
terms up in Mr. Webster’s dic
tionary, I quite agree. Do you?
A father told his teen-age
daughter that he wanted her
home by 11 p.m.
“But Father,” she com
plained, “I’m no longer a child.”
“I know,” he answered.
“That’s why I want you home
by 11.”
toward the Tuskegee “Tigers”, on
a grand homecoming occasion,
bugs developed in the offensive
attack, and the Panthers fell 16
to 0. With most of the complica
tions cleared in the defensive
squad, the Panthers were able
to hold a powerful Tuskegee
team to 16 points, with out
standing defensive play by Hay
wood Daniels, Walter Burton,
and Eddie Johnson. Since the
offensive team was unable to
score 16 points, it was too much
for Clark to overcome as they
went down in a Homecoming
defeat.
