Clark Gets 7 In Student Exchange Program
by Jerry R. Allen
The exchange program at
Clark College has progressed
greatly since its beginning. This
semester there are two students
leaving Clark on the exchange
program. While, at the same
time, there are seven exchange
students here at Clark.
Mary Alice Stevenson and
Maryjo Clark, Clark students,
are attending Depauw Univer
sity in Greencastle, Indiana.
Mary Stevenson, a native of At
lanta, Georgia, is a sophomore
with a major in Elementary
Education. Maryjo Clark, a na
tive of Chattanooga, Tennessee,
is a sophomore with a major in
English. Miss Clark, you may
recall, was the “Inquiring Re
porter” of this newspaper.
Clark has three students —
Patricia Parsley, Timothy Lin
coln, and Robert Kleinops —
from Depauw University. Pa
tricia Parsley, a native of Tokyo,
Japan, is a sophomore with a

Timothy Lincoln is a sophomore
also with a major in English.

of a telephone, or the use of a
laudromat. Here again, at De-
Pauw, these services are within
easy reach. Each dormitory
floor has two phones on which
students can make local calls
for free. These examples show
that Clark students face quite a
few minor obstacles that De-
Pauw students do not face. Each
obstacle by itself is of little con
sequence, but taken collectively
they rob the student of a great
deal of time and energy.
Despite these inconveniences,
I have enjoyed my semster here
very much. Before I arrived on
campus, I had misgivings about
the exchange. I thought I might
be treated in a “token” way.
But it has not been that way at
all. Clarkites have accepted or
rejected me as a man, not as a
white man. That, I have appre
ciated very much. One of the
reasons I came to Clark was to
find out how I would relate as
an individual to people living in
a different environment. The
frankness and honesty of the
people I have met here has
helped me to find this out.
This semester has given me
other opportunities to learn
about myself and the people
around me. For the first time in
my life, I have found a job I
really like. I am working as a
youth worker at the Butler
Street YMCA. My job involves
supervising a recreation room
for teens, tutoring, and working
with Hi-Y Clubs for high school
boys. Also, I have enjoyed tu
toring a couple of grade school
boys who live near the campus.
IMPRESSIONS OF

student is bound to have some
unique impressions of his stay
at Clark. I would now like to
tell you some of mine.
It is harder to get an educa
tion at Clark than it is at De-
Pauw. The Clark-DePauw Ex
change is up against many
added inconveniences. For ex
ample, there are many more
graduation requirements at
Clark than at DePauw. DePauw
students do not have to minor
in any subject since a minor is
not necessary for graduation.
Also there is no math require
ment. This gives DePauw stu
dents more freedom to choose
courses they want to take. Reg-
gistration for classes, buying
books for courses, waiting in
long lines for meals — these
things consume a great deal of
time and effort at Clark. At
DePauw, they are no problem.
For instance, every dormitory
at DePauw has its own cafeteria
so meal lines are never as long
as at Thayer Hall. Many times,
it is a real struggle at Clark to
get change for a dollar, the use
For the past three months, I
have been attending Clark as an
exchange student from DePauw
University in Greencastle, Indi
ana. The Clark-DePauw ex
change provides a fantastic op
portunity for personal growth,
inside and outside the class
room. Elaine Dunbar and A1
Hester, DePauw’s participants
in last year’s DePauw-Clark ex
change have effectively con
veyed this to DePauw students.
At present, 12 have applied for
next semester’s exchange. If all
goes according to plan, 6 De-
Pauw students will be at Clark
next semester. Each exchange

Start of Something Big

February 15th is the com
mencement date of--the United
Negro College Fund Campaign.
This year’s goal is to beat all
previous heighs which proves to
be a tedious task. For, the latest
totals reveal that Clark College
is ranked sixth nationally with
a net sum of $6,100.00 and a
per capita ratio of $6.79.
Miss Omega Tucker, a soph-
more pharmacy major and Miss
UNCF of Clark College for the
year 1966-67, will attend the
22nd Annual United Negro Col
lege Fund Convention on Feb
ruary 8th-10th at the Palmer
House Hotel in Chicago, Illi
nois. She will be accompanied
by Dean Curtis D. Gillespie,
Elias Hendricks, and Harold
Moses. This year’s theme is
“UNCF Support — Search for
New Approaches.” Other events
taking place at the conven
tion are Opportunity Night,
Artra Award, NAC Delegate
Reception, Corporate Lunch
eon, Workshops, Miss National
UNCF Coronation Ball, Alum
ni Recognition Luncheon and
awards. The keynote speaker of
the convention will be Dr. Sam
uel D. Proctor, President, Insti
tute for Services to Education,
Washington, D. C. Other speak
ers will be Mr. John T. Connor,
President, Allied Chemical Cor
poration New York, New York
and Dr. John Q. Taylor King,
President, Huston-Tillotson Col
lege, Austin, Texas.
The first annual Artra Award
given last year was won by
Calvin Sharpe, a Clark graduate
presently attending Oberlin Col
lege. The criteria for this award
are to be an upperclassman, an
active participant in campus
UNCF drives, academically on
“B” level or above, actively
demonstrate leadership ability
and articulate and demonstrate
interest in civic affairs.
One of these days, they will be
good Clark material. I have had
another good experience at the
West Mitchell Street C.M.E.
Church. These activities have
given me a chance to become
involved in some of the prob
lems that face people in the At
lanta community.
The Atlanta University Cen
ter provides fantastic educa
tional opportunities. One course
I have thoroughly enjoyed has
been “The Negro in American
Life” taught by Mr. Harding at
Spelman College. It is as de
manding as any course I have
had at DePauw. It gives an his
torical account of the negro’s
experiences in America from his
