Vol. XXX. No. 3 CLARK COLLEGE - ATLANTA, GEORGIA January-February, 1968 UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND CAMPAIGN OF '68 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 major in English. She is a mem ber of the Delta Gamma Sorori ty known as “the Anchors,” Timothy Lincoln is a sophomore also with a major in English. And, Robert Kleinops, a native COMMUNITY ACTION NEWS The (CAC) Community Ac tion Committee of Clark Col lege is aspiring toward goals of excellence in their untiring ef forts to aid in the development of Atlanta’s impoverished youths.

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 By Terry McConnell 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 SNOWFLAKE'S BALL Start of Something Big by Jerry R. Allen 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 (Continued on Page 3)
