The Business Forum taking
its leadership steps into Clark’s
academic . spotlight presented
one of its part-time faculty
members, Mr. Ben Brown, to
speak before the group on the
subject “Job Opportunities.”
Mr. Brown’s text was cen
tered around “responsibility and
taking advantage of opportuni
ties.” With doors opening up
in all directions today, there ex
ist many opportunities for the
well-trained, creative, aggressive
and self-confident person, who
is able to take over responsi
bility and accept them willingly.
The man or woman who is
ready to be a leader in the Ur
ban League, the Economic Op
portunity Program, In-Service
Training Programs of IBM, the
new opportunities in the Airline
Industry and the many thousand
other opportunities opening up
for young people today will be
the ones who will succeed, if
they have the before mentioned
qualities.
Mr. Brown used many
phrases which express the feel
ings of the typical Clarkite. “We
as Negroes will have to measure
up, we will have to become un-
lazy and go out and let busi
ness leaders knows we want to
be a part of their programs and
doors will be open for you.”
We will have to put aside those
antique ideas of color because
according to Mr. Brown, “In
1965 you can’t think colored.
You must think BIG!”
When you get an opportu
nity to work, take over all the
responsibilities that go along
with that opportunity and as
Kahlil Gibran has said, “when
you work you fulfill a part of
the earth’s furtherest dream as
signed to you.” So work dili
gently and fulfill your part of
the earth’s dreams.

Biology Department
Two Biology Department fac
ulty members have been award
ed doctorate degrees. Their
degrees give Clark a Biology
faculty nearly completely staffed
by holders of the Ph.D. degree.
The new doctorates are Win
fred Harris and Norman E.
Kowal.
Harris, a 1955 Clark gradu
ate, has been on the institution’s
faculty since graduation, first as
an assistant while earning the
master’s degree, then as an in
structor after completing ad
vanced study at Atlanta Uni
versity.
Now an assistant professor,
Harris completed doctoral study
at the University of West Vir
ginia in the field of genetics and
has been granted an additional
leave from Clark to do fur
ther study at the University of
Pennsylvania.
Kowal received the doctorate
from Duke University where his
field of specialization was plant
ecology. A native of New Jer
sey, he is a member of the Eco
logical Society of America, the
The program committee of
the Business Forum with their
able chairman, Mr. Walter Lee
Burden, presented as a guest
speaker Mr. Frederich Barnes,
Sales Representative for the
Hamilton Management Corpo
ration and the Alexander Ham
ilton Life Insurance Company.
Mr. Barnes discussed Finan
cial Planning. He stated, “that
the first thing a college graduate
should do is to obtain enough
insurance so that if he should
die, his insurance would cover
all his debts.” He discussed at
length the different types of
insurance, making it distinctly
clear that it is best to obtain
insurance while you are young.
“Don’t think you have plenty
of time because it isn’t neces
sarily so. You never know when
your time is near.”
The second step in financial
planning is to establish a sav
ings account for emergencies.
But if you think a savings ac
count is a good way to make
money you are very much mis
taken. Savings accounts do not
make money for you. If a bank
pays 4 Vi% interest and the
present cost of living is 4%,
then your profits are only V2 %.
The third step in financial
planning is long-range saving.
This kind of savings may be
accomplished by one of three
ways. (1) Go into business for
yourself; (2) Go into real estate
businesses or, (3) go into the
stock market. All these ways de
pend on a large amount of work
ing capital. The best answer is
Mutual Finance. What is Mu
tual Finance? It is an organiza
tion which began in 1893 in
which a group of business men
decided that by selling stock to
a large number of people they
would get more capital and
would be able to invest in more
companies. A Mutual Finance
Company will invest in Blue
Chip companies (established
companies) like A.T.&T., Coca-
Cola, General Motors and at
the same time they will invest
in young companies like Kaiser
Aluminum for growth potential.
Through the rules of diversifi
cation, selection, and good su
pervision, one can obtain a
profitable dividend on his in
vestment over a long period of
time; most of the time receiv
ing from 8% to 30% dividends.
Mr. Barnes’ address was
spiced with humor and he de
livered his message in a manner
that conveyed to his audience
that he was well informed on
the subject of “financial plan
ning.”
To the members of the pro
gram committee of the Business
Forum, “keep the good work
up and continue to show Clark
College that we are the group
to keep your eyes on the future
business leaders of tomorrow.”

Stanley, an alumnus of Clark

Atlanta Public School System.
Mr. Stanley used as his sub
ject, the National Theme for this
celebrated week, “Invest in
Learning.” In developing the
subject, the speaker pointed out
that education is one of the best
and most practical investments
a person can make. The divi
dends of a college education are
manifold and students must ac
cept the full responsibility to in
sure that they receive the full p
profits. Mr. Stanley was warmly 5
received by the student body, as j
was shown by the enthusiastic
applause.
Our speaker left a thought ,
with the members of the SNEA

students: “A college education
is very valuable, very important
and very dear, and you, as col
lege students should cherish it.”
