Organizations
At a Glance
by Willie Lou Furges
The young, energetic mem
bers of the Virginia Lacey Jones
Library Club pause for a few
moments before the Yuletide
Season to review their major
activities during the first quarter.
The members of this club have
contributed to the school and
the community with the help of
their advisors, Mrs. F. B. Ross,
Mrs. O. J. Adams, and Mrs.
D. T. Patrick. The advisors
have been inspired by Mrs. Vir
ginia Lacey Jones, Dean of the
School of Library Service at
Atlanta University. Incidentally,
the library club is named in
honor of Dean Jones.
During the Homecoming Pa
rade, a beautifully decorated
float displayed the artistic abili
ties of the members of the club’s
decorating committee. The 1965
black Bonneville, ornamented
with green and yellow stream
ers and designs, was a picture
of angelic beauty. The float
was further beautified by four
charming representatives of the
club: Georgia A. Butts, Joyce
Dodson, Charlotte Moore, and
Betty Stembridge.
The library club is presently
sponsoring the Christmas Toys
For Tots campaign on the Clark
College campus. We are asking
the support of the entire school
in helping us to provide toys for
many needy children on Christ
mas day. There is a box located
in the lobby of the first floor.
Please drop your toy or book in
the Christmas box, for when
you make someone else happy
for Christmas you too will be
Join the Demos
True, the elections of 1965
are now in the past and the
elections of 1966 are now
months into the future, but
the Young Democrats Club of
Clark College is still function
ing. Presently, the Young Dem
ocrats are concerned with the
problems facing America and
the world today: the Viet Nam
war, the situation in Rhodesia,
the foreign policy of the United
States, the debate concerning
Red China’s pending admittance
to the United Nations, and the
trouble in the Congo. During
the year the Young Democrats
Club will be sponsoring various
discussions and seminars con
cerning these world problems.
During the latter part of
the second semester the Young
Democrats will begin directing
their attention to the upcoming
elections. Gubernatorial, sena
torial, and congressional candi
dates will be organizing their
campaigns and the Young Dem
ocrats Club will be lending its
support to the Democratic can
didates.
The Democratic Party needs

the Young Democrats Club and

WE SALUTE
James Widemon, a Junior
majoring in Social Science is
many things to his many friends
here at Clark, but to fourteen
boys at the Sarah D. Murphy
Home he is a “big brother.”
Three years ago James visited
the home for wards of the court
in Cedartown, Georgia. He was
very interested in the work be
ing done there and offered his
services as a social work trainee.
He was accepted and immedi
ately became house parent, rec
reation supervisor, counselor,
and friend to a group of four
teen boys. Now he has a paying
job for the weekends and the
summer months.
THE PANTHER is proud to
salute James Widemon for three
years of service at the Sarah D.
Murphy Home!
Bertocci Speaks
Dr. Peter A. Bertocci
There is a growing concern,
in some quarters, with the need
for translation of our language.
Many students of undoubted in
tellect experience great difficulty
in their classes and on tests of
certain types because they are
simply unable to translate the
passages in textbooks, the in
structors’ lecture, or the instruc
tions necessary to the correct ap
proach to an examination.
Most often heard are state
ments as follows: “If I had
known what it meant, I could
have answered that question,”
or “Why did you use tricky
language?” or “I know that I
wrote a definition instead of a
discussion, but can’t you give
a little credit for that?”
Our problem, it seems, is that
those common, everyday usages
employed by textbooks, lectures,
and test composers are not un
derstood until translated. In an
swer to the question, “List the
WORD HEARD
names of the residence halls on
our campus,” one might get
responses ranging from a list
which includes Davage Audito
rium and Turner-Tanner Hall to
a series of definitions for ob
scure terms or to discussions
about the relative merits of liv
ing in the city as opposed to
domitory life.
In answer to a quiz which
asked the students to draw the
leg of a four-footed animal, an
swers ranged from a paragraph,
to a drawing of a single bone,
to a series of drawings depict
ing the evolution of legs from
fins of fish!
I submit that this state of
affairs is due to habits which
have developed and are nurtured
by our unwillingness to attack
them in a massive assault.
As one moves about our
campus, he hears strange sounds
which, if he is a newcomer,
must be translated. A brief dic
tionary of some of these terms
is listed below:
TRANSLATION
CLOCK
A very fine liberal arts College located at
240 Chestnut Street in Atlanta, Georgia.
MOHOUSE
A college located in the environs of the
above institution.
ALANA
The home of the Braves.
AX
To request.
FLOW
The portion of a room upon which one nor
mally stands.
DOE
The egress to a room or building.
CO-ITCH
The gentleman who teaches and directs our
athletes.
URNGE
A yellow spherical fruit grown in Florida
and California.
The Clark College Religious
Life Committee presented Dr.
Peter A. Bertocci in two lec
tures. The general theme was
“Design—For Sex, Love, and
Marriage.”
On December 8, at 10:00 in
Davage Auditorium, Dr. Ber
tocci spoke on Sex, Love, and
Marriage. At 7:00 p.m. in Geor
gia Williams Brawley Lounge,
Kresge Hall, he spoke about
“Is Love without Marriage
Enough?” These were two in
teresting discussions and the stu
dents as well as faculty members
enjoyed Dr. Bertocci.
On December 9, at the regu
lar discussion hour, Dr. Ber
tocci answered questions that
students had on Sex, Love, and
Marriage.
Dr. Bertocci is Professor of
Philosophy at Boston Uni
versity.
