M. B. C. Placed Third In SIAC
Track and Field Championships
By An Observer
It was a balmy Saturday afternoon (May 13, 1961) on
the Atlanta University Athletic Field when the hard-driving
Morris Brown field and track team tied for third place with
the Fort Valley State College team.
The superior strength (size of
school, financial budget, etc.) of
the Florida A. & M. Rattlers gar
nered them the crown in this 24th
annual S.I.A.C. Track and Field
Championships. The Rattlers rolled
up a total of 87 points while the
Clark College Panthers trailed in
the No. 2 spot with 41 points. Mor
ris Brown and Fort Valley recorded
11 points; Morehouse College, 7;
Benedict College, 5; Alabama
A. & M., 3; Tuskegee Institute, 3;
South Carolina State College, 3;
Alabama State College, 2; Fisk
Too Boo Or
Not To Boo
Does the preceding impress you
as a strange title? By way of
acknowledgement, it is rather
novel. Nevertheless, it all came as
a culmination of observing be
havior at a concert in Stone Hall
Auditorium Monday morning, May
15, 1961.
As a fine performance as one
could witness in any place, given by
the finest of cultured performers,
was the occasion for much mum
bling, foot-shuffling, giggling, ex
cessive and hypocritical hand
clapping, and other forms of crude
ness on the part of some of our
fellow students. The students, upon
first obseravtion, could have been
favored compared to a herd of cap
tive young wild animals fresh out
of their habitat. Let us be thankful
that this could not have applied to
all of them upon closer observation.
For the sake of truthfulness, and
out of all due fairness to the
Freshmen, Sophomores and Jun
iors, we must say that some Sen
iors were among the guilty. Let up
hope that these Seniors were only
feeling ill; or that they were other
wise distressed. Well, isn’t it true
that one can always hope ?
Despite the aforesaid uncouth
ness, one could hot help but enjoy
the fine and sensitive performance
given by the Morris Brown Music
Department (a faculty concert).
The Concerto in G Major — Cima-
rosa for Flue and Oboe was by Dr.
Edwin Christian, flute; Mr. John
Heard, aboe; and Mr. Colonius Da
vis, piano. The Senata for Clarinet
and Piano was by Alex Templeton.
The Petite Piece (Debussy) was by
Mr. Charlie Cox, clarinet and Mr.
Colonius Davis, piano. The Etude
In D Flat Major (Liszt) was by
Mr. Tranas Long on the piano.
University, 2; and Bethune-Cook-
man College, 1.
One of the FAMU Rattlers’
trackmen, Robert Hayes, broke a
record when he hit the tape in 20.1
in the 220-yard run. The record
broken was that of Tuskegee’s
Mozell Ellerbe which was set in
1938.
The individual winners included
FAMU’s Hayes and Clark’s Curtis
Crockett. Hayes breezed across to
win the 100-yard run in 9.5.
Crockett won both the shot put and
discus throw with to strong swings.
William Hannah, Morris Brown,
and Arthur Walker, Morehouse,
who tied in the high jump; Frank
Murray, Florida, one mile run;
Paul Penson, Florida, 440-yard run;
Edward Jinks, Florida, 120 high
hurdles; Samuel Rivers, Florida,
880-yard run; Charles Holmes,
Florida, two-mile run; Acey Peters,
Florida, 220-low hurdles; Robert
Finley, Benedict, pole vault; Clif
ford Mosley, Fort Valley State,
javelin throw; and Henry Clark,
Clark College, running broad jump,
were the other individual winners.
The events Saturday were the
culmination of a two-day spectacle.
Other Brownites who participat
ed in the events were Donald Cam
bridge, Leonard Anderson, Winfred
Benson, and Julius Perry in the
440-yard . relay; William Johnson,
Bennie Williams, Jamie Wilson, and
Clayborn King in the one mile re
lay; John Godbolt, discus throw;
and Albert Sharpe, shot put.
The Wolverine Observer salutes
the M. B. C. wearers of the spikes,
and wishes them the best of luck
next season.

What Is The
Ideal Club?
What kind of club would you con
sider the ideal club? Would you
consised a club that posseses the
following characteristics to be an
ideal organization:
Unique programs,
Never collects dues,
Contributes money toward your
education,
Free and regular social activities.
Yes, such a club is coming to
Morris Brown College and you can
be a part of it. Just look for the
“Rush-Party” sponsored by the
UNCF Pre-Alumni next semester
(1961-62).

SOMETHING ALL
COLLEGES SHOULD DO
TEMPE, Ariz. (I.P.)—A bill to
tighten qualifications for student
government officials was intro
duced recently in the student sen
ate on the campus of Arizona
State University. Bill 153, setting
new scholastic requirements for
Associated Students positions, was
introduced by the Activities Con
trol Committee.
The bill would require “that a
2.00 cumulated scholastic index be'i
maintained by all students ini
elected or appointed ASASU posi
tions.” Currently, only elected of
ficers must have a 2.00 index, and
it is a requirement only for elec
tion, not for continuation in of
fice.
Dean of Students W. P. Shofstall
called the bill “one of the most
important we have ever had in pro
moting student-faculty relations.”
Under the proposal, the ASASU
Secretary would present a list of
all students on boards, committees,
and other ASASU jobs to the Dean
of Students in the first week of
each semester. The Dean would
notify the Executive Council with
in one week as to who is ineligible
to serve.
When an elected position be
comes vacant because of failure to
meet scholastic requirements, the
Executive Council would appoint a
new officer within three weeks.
The student senate would have to
confirm the appointment.
Action At George
Washington University
Washington, D. C.—(I.P.)—The
recently launched bi-partisan effort
to create a University cultural
foundation on the campus of
George Washington University,
sponsored by the Colonial Campus
Party and Students for Better Gov
ernment, aims at developing an or
ganization which can insure:
Creation of new cultural activi
ties, and continuity for a well-
developed cultural program.
“There is an immediate need for
such an organization,” spokesmen
for both parties said. “There is a
demonstrable lack in the number
and caliber of cultural activities
which runs concurrently with a
general student desire for them.”
There is a need for starting a
program of symposia, concerts, lec
tures and debates given by out
standing diplomatic, political, liter
ary, philosophical and artistic men
of stature, they indicated.
COMMON CONCERN
(Continued from Page 4)
fail. To succeed, he will not pick
locks, he will pick his brains. He
will (and he does) gather with fel
low students to discuss solutions
to the problems; the students pick
each other’s brains instead of the
instructor’s, and this shift can be
profitable whenever some students
are brighter than the instructor.
“The examination as a memory
marathon must be secured with
locks; the examination as a teach
ing device can be scattered forth
to work its yeasty way. Is the stu
dent imagination nourished by un
leavened bread?”
CULTURAL STUDY
AT SHIPPENSBURG
Cultural Study at Shippensburg
Shippensburg, Pa.—(I.P.)—Ship
pensburg State College will become
a center for the study of the cul
ture of India in keeping with a new
plan announced by Dr. Charles H.
Boehm, state superintendent of
public instruction, to utilize the 14
State Colleges to strengthen the
Commonwealth’s education in
world cultures.
Under the plan, each state col
lege will expand its library to in
clude special collections and ex
clusive exhibits on one of the world
cultures. The resources of these
library-specialized activities will be
available to the students and fac
ulty of the other state colleges and
to private colleges and universities.
Each state college also will spe
cialize in the history, geology and
geography of the countries in their
respective service area. While Ship
pensburg will deal with the cul
ture of India, Cheyney will have
Central and West Africa; Cali
fornia the Slavic cultures and Hun
gary; Millersville will have Ger
many and the Scandinavian coun
tries; Boomsburg will have China;
Kutztown will have the Soviet Un
ion, and East Stroudsburg will
have South Africa and East Africa.
Indiana will specialize on Latin
America, Spain and Portugal;
Mansfield on Iran, Iraq, Jordan and
Saudi Arabia; West Chester on
Israel and France; Edinboro on
Burma, Laos, Malaya, Viet Nam,
Cambodia, Indonesia and Korea;
Lock Haven on Turkey, Pakistan
and Greece; Slippery Rock on Ja
pan and Italy, and Clarion on the
British Isles.
Margaret Culkin Banning:
In the devotional classic “The
Imitation of Christ,” Thomas
a-Kempis tells the story of a man
who was so filled with anxiety and
fear that he could not bring him
self to act. As he wavered back and
forth in his uncertainty he thought,
Oh, if I only knew, then I should
have the courage to persevere.
And presently, wrote Thomas, he
heard within himself this answer
from God: “And if you did know,
what would you do ? Do now what
you would then do, and you shall
be very secure.”
This very practical rule of living
destroys worry and apprehension
about both big and little things.
For example, you cannot be sure
that a friend will enjoy visiting
you—but you would ask him if you
were sure. Very well, then—invite
him as if you were sure! Or, you
can’t be sure you will succeed in a
job even if you put in extra work,
but how can you satisfy yourself
without proceeding as if you did
know you would succeed?
The result may not always be
what you hope for, but the sense
that you have done the best you
can to make things work out, and
have given opportunity itself a
chance, does produce in yourself
that inner peace which is the best
kind of security.
