Henderson faring well
Dr. Vivian W. Anderson, presi
dent of Clark College, was re
ported to be well and in good
spirits while recovering from an
illness that struck him in early
February.
The Panther contacted Hender
son at his home on Fountain Drive
in Atlanta.
Henderson told The Panther, “I
feel better and I expect to be back
in four to five weeks. I am to
check back with my hospital early
next week for observation. How
ever, at the present time I feel
good but sort of weak. I have
lost 50 pounds — but all for the
best. You know I was too heavy
(at 235 pounds) for my six foot
frame. Now I am down to 185 and
I look much better, at least that’s
what my wife said.”
He went on to say, “I am not
physically incapacitated and all
my faculties are in good working
shape.”
Henderson also told The Panther
that he intends to get a good and
proper rest so that he will be sure
to be back in time for the com
mencement exercises.
Aumni launches 70-71
Clark gets a healthy amount of
support from its Alumni Associ
ation. This organization is made
up primarily of graduates and
supporters of the college. It year
ly launches several fund raising
campaigns for Clark.
To kick off the 1970-71 school
fund campaign, a cocktail party
was held recently at the Stadium
Clark Cluib with many motafol'e
Clark graduates in attendance.
Same iof the alumnae graduated
as far back as 1907 but were
to keep ole CC on the go.
As pledges were given and tak
en for the coming year, the Alum
ni Association made known an
anonymous gift in the amount of
$3,000. The money is to be ap
plied to the James P. Brawley
Scholarship Fund.
UNCF rating 'fair' at CC
The annual United Negro College Fund (UNCF) Drive is pres
ently underway. Every year Clark College works toward a $10,000
goal. The official figures below show the results of Clark’s yearly

New building
opens for class
Clark’s new academic building
is finally in use.
The math, physics, chemistry,
biology, medical technology and
foreign language departments
moved into the facility during the
spring recess. Classes began there
when students returned to school.
As reported earlier by The Pan
ther, the building is more com
pletely and better equipped than
any of its kind in the center. This
is one reason why its completion
was delayed.
The building is spacious enough
for many students to do their ex
periments simultaneously. In the
old labs only a limited number of
students were able to do their
work during an entire class period.
The foreign language department
has especially benefited from
its relocation in the new building.
The communication equipment
there is in much better condition
than the equipment used in
Haven-Warren Hall. Students re
ported that they sometimes came
to the old laboratory to do their
exercises and found the equip
ment was not working. Worse yet,
they said, they were sometimes
given an electric shock on the
ear while attempting to use the
equipment.
Although the major part of the
work has been done on the build
ing, there remain other small de
tails that need completion.
When The Panther questioned
Mr. W. Anderson, superintendent
of buildings and grounds, about
the remaining work on the build
ing, he said, “The door ipullers are
not working effectively. When the
doors are opened, they are sup
posed to close automatically. How
ever, because they are not work
ing as they should, the doors
sometimes are locked but not
closed. The contractor has been
informed of this and is to come
out at anytime and have the mat
ter corrected.”
Play review
Charley's aunt
rated "C"
“Charley’s Aunt,” a slap-stick
comedy at the Alliance Theatre,
would have probably brought
down the house in its day but
won’t make it with today’s so
phisticated audience.
The play is colorfully British.
Two young men who desire the
company of two young ladies must
have a chaperone. They rely on
Charley’s aunt to arrive in time
to act as chaperone but she fails
to do so. Refusing to be out-done,
the 'young men convince a male
'aictornfriend tto impersonate 'Char
ley's aunt. He reluctantly agrees
and the play is off.
Sensationalism and sex? No,
the play was rated “C” because
it is clean, clean, clean! Unfor
tunately, that is not a crime. In
this case it is doubtful if sex and
sensationalism would have helped
but no doubt they would not have
hurt. The dialogue isn’t very fun
ny and the players’ constant run
ning about the stage is nerve rack
ing.
The actors are good but the
play makes it hard to be.
The play is more a victim of
time than ill-humor. At a time
when all theatre speaks to real is
sues — whether relevant or not —
Charley’s Aunt is hopelessly out
of place.
Physics pockets
awards and grants
Clark’s physics department was
recently awarded grants totaling
over $15,000. One of the grants
will help a Clark junior in re
search this summer.
The General Electric Founda
tion selected Clark as one of 60
liberal arts institutions across the
country to receive an unrestricted
grant of $2,500 for the academic
year 1970-71. The grant is to be
used in the Physics department
for the procurement of necessary
equipment and materials or for
the support of special projects that
may arise.
Better!
Coed finds lab equipment to her
liking.
That’s it!
Class gathers around to watch
experiment.
Research Corporation of New
York presented two similar grants.
One of them in the amount of
$7,100 is for faculty and student
research. The other will support
William Shackleford, a Clark jun
ior, in research with Dr. O. P.
Puri, the department head, this
summer. The two will conduct
their resarch on X-rays.
The National Science Founda
tion awarded $5,800 for conduct
ing an in-service institute in phy
sics for high school science teach
ers for the summer 1970-71.
RCA awarded Brenda Ellis, a
Clark senior, a scholarship of an
undisclosed amount in physics
that was used for the 1969-70
school year. Miss Ellis won first
prize this year for a paper pre
sented at the National Institute of
Science meeting in Atlanta re
cently.
SGA elections kick-off
When The Panther went to
press, there were no official can
didates for the student govern
ment election that would be in the
past by the time The Panther ap
peared in print.
Students around the campus
who were interviewed about the
coming elections voiced the hope
that the winner would be a more
dynamic leader than the present
president, John Wyatt. Many said
they were very disappointed with
Wyatt because they were led to
believe that he possessed some of
the fire that his predecessor,
James Mays, had. Wyatt was vice-
president under Mays.
Rogers told The Panther that
one of the issues that he hopes
to settle as president of the SGA
will be the question the criteria
for candidates for SGA offices. He
also told The Panther that he
supports a student body election
of the newspaper editor. The
question of how the selection of
next year’s Panther editor will
be made had been asked by sev
eral students.
The SGA election is being held
later this year than in the pre-
vioue four years. The delay was
that no one had started their
campaign and the election date
was announced later than it had
been because of the lack of can
didates.
