staff to accomodate the
students needs,” said Clark’s
Personnel Director.

personnel, said that the ad
ministration and faculty will
be able to conquer any
problems that may arise
within the college.
SCAAW—from page 4
In addition to her position as
president of SCAAW, the St.
Louis native co-authored
(along with her husband
Charles Riley) the black soap-
opera drama “The Phillips
Saga”, which was recently
seen on WXIA-Channel 11.
The locally produced drama
centered around a black
newspaper family in Atlanta.
“I was pleased with the
production, but we must
remember that it is a first and
hopefully there will be more, I
was glad to be a part of the first
one,” she said.
She also wrote “In The Year
of the Snake” wjiich was
performed this summer by the
Atlanta New Play Project.

Mildred Street or Ext. 314
between the hours of 9 and 5
p.m.,Monday-Friday
of Atlanta, commented that
response from native Atlan
tans to organizations like
SCAAW has not been very en
couraging. “The majority of
the people I work with are not
from Atlanta. We don’t get a
good response from the ma
jority of native Atlantans,”
she said.
“We had an African festival
in one of the communities in
Atlanta and the people stood
on the boundaries and looked
on but nobody came in to
participate. However, I don’t
believe that all the people are
like that. We plan to go into the
communitiesof southwest and
southeast Atlanta because I
believe the people don’t
participate because they don’t
know.” she said.

Clark conferred its first
degree in 1883. In the same
year, The Clark University
Theological School became a
separate department in the
University, it was called The
Gammon School of Theology
under a new Dean. In 1888, the
Gammon School of Theology
became an independent
theological seminary. The ties
between the university and the
seminary has remained strong
throughout the years.
Clark’s final move and now
its present location was made
in 1941. The purposes of the
movement to join the Atlanta
University complex was a
need to strengthen
cooperation, economy, and ef
ficiency, and to strengthen its
library and other academic
facilities.
Clark College was one of
many school’s founded upon
religious principles. Many
other colleges that were
religiously supported became
state colleges losing some of
their support from their
originators. Though these
principles still exist at Clark,
and the United Methodist
Church still supports Clark,
because some of the rules and
regulations that has sup
ported these principles have
been relaxed and liberated
over the years, it is my opinion
that these principles should be
strengthened. In an effort to
strengthen the religious prin
ciples of Clark College, the
Panther newspaper will be in
troducing several articles in
future issues of religious im
portance. These articles will
hopefully help strengthen the
weaknesses before they form
into serious gaps.
