Human Relations Meetings
Open to Every Student
HRC Prexy, Mack Simmons, an enterprising Junior and
Business Major, announces a “top-flight” program for the
Human Relations Club this school year which embraces ac
tivities in every aspect of the students’ lives at Morris Brown
College.
Simmons said that more of this
year’s new students and their up
perclassmen could add new dimen
sions to their personalities by tak
ing part in the activities of a
worthwhile organization. “Our or
ganization is not limited to just a
few select students,” said Simmons,
“All of our meetings and activities
are open to the entire student
body.” Simmons said that the or
ganization’s program for the year
has a manifold objective which
embraces the three-fold purpose of
the organization: to break down
the barriers of communication; to
organize other Human Relations
Groups, and to promote opportuni
ties for persons to have experiences
in Human Relations.
Mack Simmons, a student who is
going places with an organization
which is on the move, encourages
to join the organization students
with a wide range of human rela
tions experiences—“Such experi
ences,” he said, “in some way or
another will help to mold a suc
cessful career after college.”
Simmons announces that this
year, at their meetings, one can
meet and chat, as well as share
experiences, with MBC students
and others who spent their sum
mers in many distant parts of the
country and abroad in many in
teresting work programs. He him
self spent his summer at a student
conference and workshop program
in Detroit, Michigan; Henry Hill—
an officer in the organization—
spent his summer in Jamaica; Shir
ley McPherson and her husband—
also officers—spent their summer
at a Migrant Labor Camp in upper
New York State. These students
and many others are on hand at
every meeting to share their ex
periences with other members of
the organization and to tell other
interested students how they can
participate in such worthwhile
programs.
The meetings of the Human Re
lations Organization are held every
Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in room two
of the Education Building, with
elaborate and inspiring programs
conducted by the program commit
tee, under the direction of Pierce,
Guyton, Zackary and Company.
The executive committee of the
Organization includes: Mack Sim
mons, president; Margaret Hollo
man, vice president; Henry Hill,
second vice president; Virginia
Jones, secretary; Christine Allen,
assistant secretary; and Lillie
Avery, Treasurer.
A committee on membership
functions with Ann Brooks and
Darlene White as co-chairmen.
Other committees functioning to
carry out the program and activi
ties of the organization include the
following:
Deputation—Henry Hill, Chair
man; Lillian Scott, Diane Mills,
Willie Bush, Joyce Black, and
Shirley McPherson.
Financial—Nancy Dowdy, Chair
man.
Omega Psi Phi
Greetings from the men of
Omego. This school year should
be very eventful for us. Led by our
capable Baseleus, Bro. Julius Per
ry, a senior, we have mapped out
many activities.
On September 30, the brothers of
Alpha Sigma entertained a host
of brothers from Rho Psi Chapter
at Tennessee State who were on
campus for the Tennessee State-
Morris Brown game. Their visit
was highlighted by songs and the
Omega Dog Team after the game.
The Ques and Deltas entertained
a host of freshmen at our annual
rush party, which was very suc
cessful.
In observance of Omega Achieve
ment Week, we plan to have a
chapel program on November 13.
The men leading Omega on to
new and greater heights this year
are:
Julius Perry, Baseleus; Elroy

Seals; Ira Kemp, Dean of Pledgees;
Charles Coar, Keeper of Finance;

Sociology Club
The Sociology Club is on the
march under the supervision of
Mr. William Fields. At the last
meeting the vacant official posi
tions were filled. The group also
set its membership fee and has
rolled its short and coat sleeves
up for work. Allow me to say this
to the other clubs on the campus:
If you have not started anything in
your organization at this point, I
‘Rush, Rush, Rush’
By WILLIE MAE OLIVER
Parties are generally enjoyed by
those who are in attendance—if
the evening is well planned and if
the program is an exciting one.
Zeta chapter of Phi Beta Sigma
Fraternity Inc., and Beta chapter
of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., pre
sented “A Night at The Blue and
White Carousel” in a Rush Party
of a new type on Oct. 5, 1961.
Top billing on the show was
given to “Sammy And the Four
Freshmen” featuring Sammy Ber
ry.
These fellows are terrific! Have
you ever heard them play? Every
one at the “Carousel” that night
enjoyed their participation very
much. Crescent and Archonian tal
ent was billed as a main feature.
Jackie Peterson sang, and if you’ve
ever listened to her, you’ll agree
that “it’s like an angel’s song.”
Everyone knows how humorous
Bobby Isom is, and his comedy-act
on this occasion put everyone there
in stitches.
Later in the evening, the Sigmas
and Zetas of Morris Brown, Clark,
Morehouse and the Graduate Chap
ters shared hymns and pep songs.
The party was a real success. Hav
ing been so enjoyable, the party
was scheduled to make a second
appearance in the University cen
ter. And It Did!
On Friday, Oct. 27, 1961 “An
Evening with Zetas in Stereophonic
and Sigmas in High Fidelity” was
presented at Clark College. Again
those present had an exceptional
evening and the party was dubbed
a success. Of course “Sammy and
the Four Freshmen” were given
top billing again.
This is the space I’m taking to
invite all of you wonderful people
to come out and join us again in
the future and really be a part of
the Zeta Sigma family.
rade; our car was a 1961 white

Food in the News
By ANN BAILEY
The Importance of
Eating Breakfast
The word breakfast means exact
ly what it says. We break our fast.
For 12 hours or more we have
eaten nothing. For at least eight
hours of that time we have been
relaxed in sleep, or should have
been. To start our bodies out for
the day without breakfast is like
trying to ride the train without
buying a ticket. Just as hoboes ride
without tickets, so some people,
especially students, force them
selves to face the problems and
labors of the day without break
fast. They are food hoboes. There
are dangers and a lack of comfort
in both cases.
Students are often guilty of
omitting breakfast needlessly. We
use the excuse: I just don’t have
time to eat breakfast. I’ll miss my
eight o’clock class.
Well, we can take time just by
simply going to bed an hour earlier
and awaking an hour earlier the
next morning in order to eat break
fast without rushing.
What are the reasons for eat'
ing breakfast? Three meals each
day is the first step in good nu
trition. More people under 20 years
of age are underweight than over
weight. Thus, if these underweight
omit breakfast they miss one of the
three chances to get building ma
terials and fuel supplies. The per
son who goes without breakfast
runs a chance of being under
nourished. A suitable menu for
breakfast may be:
A fruit or juice
Cereal
Coffee or milk or cocoa
Soft cooked egg
Toast
What type of breakfast will you
have tomorrow morning? Will it
be a skimpy one? The choice is
left up to each one of us. What
a person eats for breakfast de
pends largely on who he is. You
do not have the same breakfast
now that you had when you were
a two-year-old. We leave it to you
to say what you need for break
fast.
