O NOBLE THOUGHTS The first step to knowledge is to know that are ignorant. —Cecil * * * * Real knowledge, like everything else of value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and, more than all, must be prayed for. —T.

After a recent sur vey, she is no longer Miss Vogue, but Miss Vague. A general survey revealed: , 1. Socks with earrings, and a crew worn in the dining hall and chapel. When approached regard ing this, Miss Vogue replied: “But my ears stick out, and my new hairdo was mussed in swimming.” 2. When Adonis was seen leav ing the campus at 6:10, Miss Vo gue replied; “The bell rang before 6:00; it was only 5:55 by my watch when he left. 3. When reprimanded for at tending two movies in one week, Miss Vogue answered: The hand book lists one Morehouse movie and one movie per week for fresh men. It is easy to see why Miss Vo gue. soon became Miss Vague. A. few reminders may help her to became Miss Vague again. 1. Earrings are not to be worn with socks. 2. Kerchiefs and hats are to be worn on the campus to the swim ming pool, but neither in the din ing room nor in chapel. 3. Calling hours end promptly at 6:00 daily except Thursday, when they end at 5:30. 4. Freshmen have the privilege of attending only one movie each week. 5. All students are urged to be on time for activities and classes. 6. Students returning from acti vities at Read Hall should sign in within twenty minutes after the scheduled activity has ended. 7. Girdles are always in vogue on and off the campus. 8. Freshmen! Use but do not abuse the privilege of having an escort after co-ed activities. Keep these rules in mind, they have been made for your bene fit. Following these simple rules you too, may become Miss Vogue. ******Carol Ann Clark is the tem porary president of the Freshman class. The Spotlight Staff would like to wish the Freshman Class much success during the next four years at Spelman. ******The Bohemian dance spon sored by the Junior Class was quite a success. The attire of the students was a sight to behold— very much like that of the in habitants of Grenwich Villiage. ******The Spelman - Morehouse Confab is in operation again this year.

THE CLOTHES HORSE A tidal wave of fashion has swept in from Paris and has ar rived on campus early this fall. The look is young, vivacious and simple. Completely captivating, the look depends more on the manner , of wearing than on any specific silhouettes Points, al though hemlines are short and a feeling of ease prevails for day time. These are definitely clothes that reflect the collegiate way of life. Color is headlining fashion news again this year. The bright colors of all can be seen dotted all around campus. New colors seen on campus are stone green red pepper, green pepper, football brown, and topaz gold. Checks, all shapes, and sizes, are again popu lar this year. Many new styles have been this fall. One of the greatest fashion flairs is the newbelted sweater or overblouse that is topp ing everything from skirts to Ber mudas. All over the campus and at casual dances, the young ladies are wearing the popular knee- ticklers. Worn with leotards or Bermuda socks, nothing could be more modish for sports attire. Certain girls on campus have “passions for fashions.” These young ladies are wearing the new short Foreign Intrigue Coat. En- route to anywhere—at anytime— in any weather, all eyes folow the girl in the Foreign Intrigue. These coats, usually made of insulated poplin, have pleantly of pockets, which is perhaps the most uni que thing about the coat. There are separate pockets for every thing ranging from notebook and textbooks to eyeglasses and pen cils! This dashing continental coat can be worn belted or un belted. Again this year, the ever-popu- lar pleated skirts have made their debut. They are seen around campus in solids and bold bright plaids. Whether topped with big bulky sweaters or simple tailor ed blouses, they are definitely “in” for campus attire. Spelmanites have gone all out for the corduroy sneaker craze. The sneaker accessorizes the young lady, they come in red, gold, loden, black and charcoal. According to Seventeen maga zine, the news that is brewing right now is the Coffee House look. It’s up-beat; it’s individual; it’s the look with as many varia tions as there are girls to wear them! This is the key: individ uality. No set patterns. No carbon copies. You establish your own fashion impact, as dif ferent as bright as you like. O LEST WE FORGET You often sit and dream of home. Are you giving yourself a fair chance? Are you really homesick or are you being “sque ezed by the masses” who cry “homesick” all of the time? Are you really ready to leave? And if you are, is homesickness the reason? Did you have com pany every night at home? Did you go to the movie every Thurs day? To a dance, every Satur day? Don’t forget the phone you monopolize for hours. Where else, too, have you had so much aca demic freedom—just the right a- mount to fail freely? Is our school not justified in its standards? Are you not proud to be characterized by high standards and morals? Lest we forget when marriage time comes a Spelman girl scores each time. Sit back and enjoy your stay; time passes faster than you think. SIFT OF GOD Love, at night when stars are beaming Only of your eyes I’m dreaming Venerated eyes with celestial glow Eagerly I wonder what do they know Those evil eyes that place me in quod Satanic eyes but a gift of God To remain in their spell is a curse Freedom from them would be worse Their only purpose is to pervert The minds of men they do subvert My mind will you oppress Or as a malicious spirit possess Upon me could the God bestow Merciless and knowing this state of woe Only if her fiendish eyes I could incite Would then her eyes be contrite? —Thomas Weatherly O- OTHELLO COMES TO GILES By Patricia Nicholas “Othello,” by William Shake- spear will be presented December 1 and 3 in Giles Hall. Dr. J. Preston Cochran will direct the great play. Tryouts for “Othello” were held on the 4th and 5th of October. Few people tried out the first night. The second night the num ber present was even smaller but there were a few newcomers. Students present who were try ing for parts were from Spelman and Morehouse. Two teachers from the Public School System also read for parts. In listening to the reading and rereading of parts, I found that some of them were good, others were not so good. Because of the small number of people trying out for parts, Dr. Cochran had difficulty in casting the play. During my talk with him, he mentioned that he was disappoint ed With the try-out and he wish ed that more students would try out. Because of the limited num ber of people, Dr. Cochran had to recruit some of the members of the cast. The tentative cast for the major parts in Othello reads as follows: Othello Joe Carter Iago i Victor Partridge Barbantio Edwin Cerney Roderigo James Murray Montano ....Milford Greene Gratiano Griffin Day Lodovico William B. Greene Duke of Venice Ray Mclver Desdemona Electa Twyman Emilia Georgia Allen and Edyth Ross Bianca Marilynn Pryce Cassio Latimer Blount It is important that as many as possible attend the play one of the three nights that it will be running; it will be both benefi cial and enjoyable. O IMAGINE 1. Mr. Mann without his bow tie. 2. Morehouse Men not “Willie- ing’. 3. The dormitories without head residents. 4. The Infirmary without red and white pills. 5. Chapel ushers closing the doors at 8:30 instead of 8:00 a. m. 6. Mr. Coe speaking. 7. No line cutting in the dining hall. 8. Morehouse without the recep tion line. 9. Morehouse Men “pulling out chairs for each other”.
