Vol. 1, No. 2 Clark College, Atlanta February, 1970 Clarkites student teach in Rochester, New York Six Clarkites are among the ten Atlanta University Center students presently doing their student teaching in Rochester, New York and the surrounding school districts. The program was proposed by the Human Relations Commission in 1967. It included member colleges of the United Negro College Fund, The University of Rochester and the Mon roe surburban school districts. In 1968 a pilot project was con ducted to gain first-hand knowledge of the potential success of such a pro gram. An evaluation of the project was favorable and reported that the project should be continued and expanded. Clark served as host in October, 1969, for a Regional Planning Confer ence on the southern college student teaching program for the winter and spring placement. As a result of the meeting Clark has six student teachers participating in the Cooperative South ern Student Teaching Program and Morris Brown has four. The Clark students are: Gail Carter and Joyce Turner, both who are Span ish majors and Mary Ann Clark, a music major. They are all from Atlan ta. Ernestine Weaver, a French major is from Staten Island, New York. Ann Tensley, an elementary education major from Glennville, Georgia, and Donald Williamson, a history major from Augusta, Georgia, are also in the group. These student teachers will be super vised by education and staff members from the University of Rochester, and College of the Nazareth. Dr. Ester Pearlie Dove, Chairman of the Educa tion Department, or Miss Rebecca Davis, Supervisor of Student Teaching, will visit the Clark students before the completion of their assignments. According to Dr. Dove, early reports from the students and the host districts indicate the experience to be mutually rewarding. Pres. Henderson stricken at Council meeting President Vivian W. Henderson is presently still recovering from a re cent illness. He was stricken while at tending a Council of President's meet ing in the Bahamas the first week in February and was immediately flown home. Last reports were that Dr. Hender son was resting comfortably with only a slight improvement. Clark College physician sees need for better health habits The Clark College clinic treats a variety of cases of illnesses daily. The staff feels that better health habits would void some of the sicknesses that occur frequently among Clark students. Surprisingly the number of venereal and other types of diseases outnumber even the common cold on the campus. The Panther asked Dr. Alfred J. Turk, the college physician, the kinds of ill nesses treated in the clinic and received this reply: “We treat frequent cases of gastritis —(inflammation of the stomach lin ing, caused by irregular eating habits) urinary tract diseases, cervisitis, vagi nitis, myositis (muscle inflammation common to atheletes), bone fractures, inflammation of the eyes, anemia, hypertension, ear infections, dizziness, headaches, heart disease, asthma, gas- tro-intestinal-ulcer diseases, colitis, cys titis (inflammation of the bladder); urethritis, myopia and hyperopia (vi sion defects)." When asked about the number of venereal disease cases on the campus, Dr. Turk replied, “The cases of gonor rhea, syphilis, trichomonasis are in high frequencies throughout the school year ■—there are just as many cases in the winter as in the spring. We run into them more so than we do the common cold. Colds on this campus are not a frequent occurence. We have had one or two cases of influenza. We also run into an infection that causes little growths to form in the lower crevices of the thighs. We call this ‘lympho- glandular inquinale’.’’ Turk went on to say, “Students can greatly reduce their illnesses by im proving their eating habits, cutting down on the pot, alcohol, and cigar ettes, proper and daily rest, drinking six to eight glasses of water, and daily hot baths." In line with eradication of venereal diseases Dr. Turk told The Panther, “The students here could eliminate the cases entirely by not having sexual rela tions with each other. Atlanta does have the highest incidence of cases of venereal disease in the nation though. So this campus is just a small sampling of a large majority.” AWAY WE GO! Four of Six Clarkites who are practice teaching in New York. L-R, Ann Tensley, Gail Carter, Mary J. Clark, and Joyce Turner. f Your Mama’faces dilemma Your Mama Is Black, the weekly that P.R.I.D.E. publishes, has not made an appearance on Clark’s cam pus for more than a month. The Panther talked with Your Mama editor, Roger Porter, and was told that the publication would be published less frequent this year because of several problem, among them—staffing. Barbara Eiland, vice president of the SGA, and a Your Mama reporter, is student teaching and does not have the time she formerly had in the prepara tion of the paper. Besides developing and writing stories, she also did the typing required and helped to compile the paper. Lurma Rackley presently works two jobs besides being enrolledd as a full time Clark student. She works with the paper in the same capacity as Miss Eiland. Roger Porter, the editor, is not in school this semester. Other than the staffing problem, the paper does not have the needed funds to operate. Money for paper and other printing materials was gotten through private donations and from the staff’s pockets. Although a paper has not been out since the beginning of the Christmas holidays, one is planned very soon, according to Nathaniel Scurry, presi dent of P.R.I.D.E. Tuition and fees to rise at Clark The tuition and fees of Clark Col lege students will definitely show what Richard Nixon’s inflation is doing to the cost of everything. Tuition will show an increase that is much the same as that of all the other schools in the center, although Morris Brown’s is slightly more and Spel man’s is a little less. 1969-70 1970-71 Tuition $1000 $1100 Fees 155 192 Room 216 243 Board 530 575 Laundry 53 54 Total $1954 $2164 Other area schools will have the fol lowing as their costs: Tuition Fees Room per Ga. State $45 (course) $6 No dorms Ga. Tech 504 — $216 Emory 2175 — 405
