beginning of their introduc
tion to a great paper bu-
reacracy - college regis
tration. For most seniors,
the following Tuesday at
4:00 P.M. designated the
end of this bureaucracy -

men meeting the late re
gistration deadline, which

Operation Crossraods
Africa, Inc. is a private
Non - profit organization
which sends hundreds of
American students to Afri
ca during the summer of
each year. Some of the pur
poses of the trip to Africa
are to promote good will
and to learn something
about the indigenous cul
ture of that contiment’s
inhabitants (as well as thier
learning something about
ours). Another purpose is
to perform some manual
task. This is done to show
that the American students
are willing to work side by
side with the Africans, and
without pay.

1 extend greetings and
welcome to the 832 students
enrolled at Morehouse for
the academic year 1963-64.
Except in the post-war
years, this is our largest
enrollment. I extend gree
tings and welcome also to
the new teachers. I extend
special greetings to the 260
freshmen who are with us
for the first time.
Our faculty is stronger
than at any time in the his
tory of the college. I hope
we have a better quality
of students than we have
ever had. With an able
faculty and a student body
eager to learn, we will have
the best year we have ever
had. If this dream is to
come true, students and
teachers must co-operate.
Students must be so keen
and so eager to learn that
teachers will be on the
alert at all times.
Teachers must be so
qualified and so interested
in their subjects that stu
dents will be motivated to
develop their minds to the
ultimate.
We hope this will be our
finest year.

Birmingham
The Morehouse and Spel-
man Student Government As
sociations joined hands in a
joint effort Friday night,
September 21, 1963, to raise
money to aid the reconstruc
tion of a church which was
bombed during Sunday School
in the racially torn City of
Birmingham.
In initiating their joint ef
fort, the student leaders of
the two colleges made the
following statement con
cerning their sentiment:
“We, the student leaders
of Spelman and Morehouse
College, are deeply disturb
ed and emotionally tom about
the Birmingham situation.
Though we are removed from
the violence, we are all a part
of the struggle. Realizing the
sober fact, we have planned
Recreation for Reconstruc
tion.”
