6 NOVEMBER, 1965 The Panther The Pride of Clark THE 1965 CLARK PANTHERS Panthers Blast Off: Bugs Develop GREEKDOM- ( Continued ) 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.

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.” V V V Submit News NOW for Next Edition # v v by “Eli Sol” 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 Sophomores (Continued from page 5) soon hope to add to their nu merous accomplishments, the showing of a most delightful movie. 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. Oct. 16, 1965 KNOXVILLE DEFEATS CLARK PANTHERS When the last whistle of the game sounded, the “Panthers” found themselves on the short end of an 8 to 6 score. Specta tors of this two touchdown game saw Knoxville College score in the second quarter. Clark’s six points came in the third period on a pass completion to Ronald McDonald by Dwight Ellison.
