The Panther staff regretfully

apparently of natural causes.

cal science major from Sanford,
Florida was well liked by all
for his wit and intellect. “Pork

friends, will long be remem

and the Young Democrats Club.

Letter to Dr. Brookes
Dr. Stella Brewer Brookes,
Author of Book, Joel Chandler
Harris-. Folklorist (University
of Georgia Press. 1950)
The Harris Sketch: Encyclo
pedia Britannica (1957 and
subsequent editions)
Introduction: Schocken
Books edition of the Uncle Re
mus (Stories, 1965)
Received the following note
from a song writer in London
who has put some of the Uncle
Remus stories into song form:
Dear Miss Brookes,
I have just come across the
Schocken Books edition of “Un
cle Remus” with your very in
teresting introduction.
A few years ago I made an
attempt to turn some of the
“Uncle Remus” stories into
song form, and Edward Hughes
set these lyrics. I enclose the
resulting songs — “Brer Rabbit
and Brer Fox Stories Books One
and Two.” I hope that we have
retained some of the flavors of
the original.
As you mention, some of the
stories appear in other countries
— as Anansi stories, as Mouse-
deer stories, as jackal stories,
etc. — and it is most interesting
comparing them. But there is
only one “Uncle Remus.” De
spite my efforts, 1 am a great
fan of his!
Yours sincerely,
Peter Westmore
This is something new in the
presentation of the Uncle Re-
Clark V. L. T.
Library Club
We, the members of the Clark
College V. L. T. Library Club,
have often heard our Head Li
brarian, Mrs. Fannie B. Ross,
discuss information concerning
the library and reading. How
ever, in Chapel on the morning
of April 26, 1966, we heard
Mrs. Ross at her best. The mes
sage was not only well organ
ized, well elocuted and provoca
tive but, she also revealed her
knowledge of baseball. This
knowledge was revealed when
she encouraged the students to
have a goal, to strive for some
thing, and to decide whether or
not they wanted to reach first
base, second base, third base,
or the homeplate of success.
It must be pointed out that
Mrs. Ross not only delivered
the message in Chapel on April
26, 1966, but, she also gave
the scripture and prayer. It was
purposely done this way so that
Mrs. Ross could surprise her
co-workers with tribute and
gifts. And, surprised they were
when they were called to the
platform.
The name of the Clark Col
lege V.L.T. Library Club is in
honor of Dr. Virginia Lacey
Jones, Dean of the Atlanta Uni
versity School of Library Serv
ice. The colors of the club are
green and yellow.
Other activities of the V.L.T.
Library Club were the librarians
entertaining the club and stu
dent library assistants on May
1, 1966; an assembly given by
the club on March 23, 1966,
which proved to be the club at
its best; and, a surprise birthday
party honoring Mrs. Patrick and
Mrs. Ross, given on April 6,
1966, by the club with Mrs.
Ozie S. Adams initiating the
idea.
The Staff of the Georgia
Smith Keeney Library wishes to
express appreciation to all of
the clientele for having the
pleasure to serve them during
the academic year of 1965-66,
and looks forward to even great
er participation of its clientele
during the current academic
year.
Officers for the V. L. T.
Library Club are: Charlotte
Moore, President; Sandra Strick
land, Vice-President; Bettye
Stembridge, Secretary; Willie
Mae Dorsey, Assistant Secre
tary; Willie Furgess, Reporter;
and, Ann Butts, Treasurer.

Millicent Bethea
Help for the Average
A revolving scholarship program for needy college seniors of
average rather than superior academic standing has enabled 31
students to graduate this month.
Scholarships of up to $1,000 are awarded by The Chain Schol
arship Program to a limited number of college seniors in all fields
of study. To be eligible, the student must be in need of financial
assistance, have grades at the passing level and plan to seek em
ployment upon receiving a bachelor’s degree.
As soon as possible after graduation, the recipients assume the
moral, though not legal, obligation of helping future needy stu
dents by contributing to the funds of the Chain Program.
This “helping hand” fund, which is available at over 300 col
leges, was created three years ago by Leonard Greene, the presi
dent of Chain and the father of eight children. Since its inception,
the program has awarded a total of $23,635 to 42 students.
“Students of high academic standing have other avenues of
financial assistance open to them,” Mr. Greene said in commenting
on the value of Chain. “Although such scholarships are most worth
while, the average student may contribute as much to society as
the gifted.”
“This is a moral loan,” Mr. Greene continued. “It is not a
business loan. There are no strings attached, no demand of repay
ment, no interest, no schedules to be met.”
Based on the receipt of a minimum of $15 a month per alum
nus, it is estimated that Chain will be able to expand to an addi
tional 30 scholarships each year. The program is expected to be
self-sustaining by June, 1970.
