The Eye
This column will be used to report on the interesting hap
penings at Clark College. The EYE sees everything and everything
is seen by the EYE
....What young lady was seen taking flowers to who’s room one
evening in Brawley Hall...
....What young man was seen sneaking out of Holmes hall late
Saturday night initals M.G.?
....I hope that the young man who is looking for the other young
man who is fooling around with his new found lady doesn’t find him
or there will be trouble at Clark College (look out Brawley hall)...
....On last Thursday after the Mi es College game the EYE saw a
well-known man of said -ratemity slipping in the streets. Rumor
has it that he was chasir.g a sexy young ladie in C.C.C., Did you
catch her?
....Check this out gang.-keep your ears and EYES open for a
Watergate type scandal to come out of the Mass Communications
dept. soon.
....What well-known C.C. Basketball player, has been keeping a
s'eady string of C.C. ladies entertained? Go get ‘um....
....What well-known security guard of Clark College Courts has
been seen by the EYE sneaking out of several apartments?...
Word is...that WCLK has changed management but not old
policies. Students are talking about how old CC grads refuse to
relinquish their positions. The sports director, production manager
and chief operator are all former Clarkites (What happens to Mass
Communication majors who pay $3000 a year? Whatever happened
to student input?)
....A lot of.fraternities and sorities were ducking when Dick gregory
spoke in the Clark gymnasium. Gregory urged the organizations tc
promote brotherhood and sisterhood rather than brutality.
...Thats all for this time. More later, remember the EYE will be
watching....
Model Black Woman
Despite her motivation,
Ms. Blake is finding her second
year in law school very
challenging and tiring. It is not
what she expected it to be.
“It is quite challenging,”
she said. “But my studies are
far too abstract. I am a people
oriented person and law school
is law principle not its effect on
people. It fails to meet the
relevant human problems and
concerns people have.”
The challenges of law
school will hardly deter a
woman as personally motivated
as Ms. Blake. She started her
undergraduate education at the
age of 26 when she had a child
from a previous marriage to care
for.
When she enrolled at
Howard University she had no
way of knowing that she would
one day marry one of her
professors, Elias Blake Jr.
“When 1 decided that I
warned to be more than a
student 1 dropped his course,”
Ms. Blake said.
Ms. Blake is a strong
believer in general liberal arts
education. “Today one"needs as
much general education as
possible to survive and to
negotiate in this system.” “It
became clear to me that you
need a college education to have
the good life.
“A diploma gives you
options. With people changing
careers three and four times in a
lifetime people need to be as
versatile as possible.
“College should be
rigorous and put students to
high standards to make them
perform.”

deal wiih the problems of
educational rights and op
portunities.”
Ms. Blake cited the Allen
Bakke case saying, "It is a
signal that ihe entire equality in
education movement is turning
totally around. It presents a
threat to Affirmative Action
Programs and the advances
black people have made in
education.”

Black Film
Series Slated
The 1978 Southern College
Film/Lecture Series opens
Monday, February 6 at
Atlanta’s Clark College. In past
years this program of Afro-
American and African films,
which was developed by the
Office of Special Projects,
Annenberg Center of the
University of Pennsylvania, has
toured the Campuses of well-
known, southern colleges like
Virginia Union, Morris Brown
and Talledega.
Featured in the Clark
College Series are the works of
such noted Filmmakers as
Melvin Van Peebles’ “Story of
the Three Days Pass” and, from
West Africa, Ousmane Sem-
bene’s.. “Black Girl.” Van
Peebles, widely acclaimed in the
60’s for his film “Sweet
Sweetback’s Baddass Song,”
was the first modern Black
filmmaker to independently
produce and direct a feature
length film, thus alerting
Hollywood to the vast untapped
market of Black movie
audiences.
Highlighting the Clark
College Series is Mr. Donald
Bogle, author of Toms, Coons,
Mulattoes, Mammies and
Bucks, who will lecture on the
film Thursday, Feb 9 at 8 p.m.
“Hallelujah” “Hallelujah,”
produced by King Vidor in
1929, was one of the first sound
motion pictures with an all Black
cast. The film stars Nina Mae
McKinney and concerns the
temptation of a country
preacher. The film is beautifully
shot and edited, and offers some
originaly Hollywood in
terpretation or rural Black
lifestyles in the beginning of
this century.

Sweet Dreams
Are you the kind of student
who usually studies hard before
going to bed, or the kind who
goes to bed, sets the alarm for
five or six o’clock and then
crams? If your’re a pre-sleep
studier. Glamour Magazine
reports you may be getting
better grades as a result of
study habits than someone who
does the work afterward.
Recent research into sleep
and study habits shows that
sleep prior to study disrupts
memory significantly, unless

production center for teaching
materials.
- The Garden Reading
Room which will overlook an
outdoor plaza and have a “living
room” atmosphere.
- A Current Periodicals
Room which will display the
1,000 most frequently used
current issues of journals and
magazines.
- An After Hours Room
which will be open 24 hours for
students to read, study or
unwind.
- A Penthouse Art Gallery
which will adjoin a Visitors’
Reception Area.
The new library will be
bounded by Beckwith street on
the north. Parsons street on the
south, Chestnut street on the
east and Jeptha street on the
west.
Lehfeldt said that all but
two parcels of land for the
library have been acquired and
demolition has begun on the
site.
While the library has no
projected opening date, he
estimated that construction
could start by late 1978 and last
from 15 to 18 months. Opening
could occur in late 1979 or early
1980.
“We are still heavily
dependent on the national
community for support,” Leh-
feldt said about the funds still to
be raised. “We think' this is
legitimate. The Center is a
national resource which enrolls
students from across the nation
and sends graduates across the
nation.”
He said an additional
advantage of the proposed
library is that it will allow each
institution to make other use of
facilities it now uses for library
space.
An architectural rendition
of the proposed library by B.
Harmon is on display at ’he
Atlanta University Center
Administrative Offices.

considerable waking time is
allowed before digging into the
material you want to learn. The
shorter the period of sleep that
preceds the studying, the more
this sleep disrupts learning.
Sleeping four hours or less was
found to be highly disturbing to
memory; sleeping six hours
disturbed it less.
Researchers aren’t exactly
sure how sleep disturbs the
memory process, but they
believe it might involve hor
mones. In laboratory tests on
mice, the hormone
somatotrophin, produced
naturally during sleep, severely
affected the memory of mice
injected with it.
If you have a test to study
for, study first instead of putting
it off until the next morning.
Better grades might be your
reward.
