He was presented a trophy last week by Hubert Jack- son, president of the club. Deadline for materials for the last issue of the PANTHER due May 7! 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 campaigns from 1965 to 1969. Per Capita Amount Ratio 1965 $5,716.10 $7,039 1966 $6,100.00 $6.79 1967 $5,703.48 $6,185 1968 $6,700.00 $6,562 1969 $3,425.72 $3,557 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. !
