The bliss of growth;
The glory of action;
The splendor of beauty;
For yesterday is already a
dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today, well lived makes
every yesterday
A dream of happiness, and
Every tomorrow a vision of
hope.
Look well, therefore to this day!
Such is the solution to the
dawn!!!

activities of the day students
with those of the campus
students.

throughout the country. Its
main objective is to study and
suport the United Nations.

the current news of the various
activities of the college, as well
as important messages from
members of the administration,
faculty, staff, and student

building up of a good personal
library by every student is the
aim for which this organization
sponsors the sale of paperbook
books as a pet project.
Connected with the various
major fields of study are clubs
which provide additional enrich
ment. The Biology, French,
Math, Spanish, Social Science,
Physical Education Majors,
Home Economics, Art Psy

understanding of their respect

of related experiences outside
of the classroom.
The musical interests and
talents of the Spelman students
are cultivated in the work of
the AMS Chorus and the Spel

are under the direction of Dr.

sent several outstanding pro

In addition, Mr. Melvin
Drimmer, an instructor in the
Social Science Department, has
expressed a great interest in,

effort in, the initiation of a
Debating Society on Spelman’s

Student support of all these
activities is encouraged. Each
student is urged to participate
in at least one extra curricular
activity, in addition to whole
heartedly supporting the pro

SUPPORT
YOUR
SSG A
On November 2, 1964 the
presidential elections will take
place. As we all know this year
the elections have elicited a
great deal of excitement and
interest due to the personalities,
platforms, and qualifications of
the two candidates and their
running partners. The Spelman
TIPS FOR
CAMPUS WEAR
Freshman, now that you are
entering the gates of higher
learning, here are several
pointers concerning appearance
that will be an asset to your
charm as college young women.
1. Ideal for college attire are
the simple, tailored dresses,
skirts, blouses, sweaters, and
blazer. The flashy showgirl
look is not acceptable nor be
coming for an intelligent college
young woman.
2. Earrings worn with socks
are not in good taste at any
time. Jewelry should always be
worn with discretion. Dangling
earrings and formal jewelry
should only be used on special
occasions.
3. Rollers and pin curlers are
not attractive when worn out
side the dormitory, in the din
ing hall, or the snack shop,
especially during the day. Ker
chiefs, scarves, and hats are
neither becoming nor appropri
ate for chapel or the dining
hall.
4. If you are one of those
who has tired, sore feet from
wearing high heels for a con
siderably long time, then
DON’T. Low-heeled shoes are
ideal for college life. Thongs,
however, should be saved for
the beach next summer.
5. Another important item is
proper fit. When you choose
sheath skirts, avoid those that
look like a second skin on you.
An attractive apearance is al
ways made by the young
woman who dresses neatly,
choosing lines that are becom
ing and proportional to her
figure.
6. Make up should be used
Spotlight would like to know
just how the student body feels
about the presidential capabili
ties of the two men. So we
are asking you to write in to
us your choice for president by
October 25th, using the ballot
below. There will be a ballot
box located outside the Publica
tions Office in Packard Hall.
to accentuate the natural beauty
and not to cover it up. When
making up, don’t overdo it so
that you look like a member of
of the Barnum and Baliey Cir
cus clown troupe. You’ll find,
also, that today’s fashion ex
perts decree that the overdone,
false look is out, and a more
natural, young look is in.
7. Wear your pretty, pert
dresses and suits appropriate for
church to Vespers. Don’t forget
that hose and dressy shoes are
necessary, but you may leave
your hat and purse at home.
Keep these pointers in mind
and include them in your daily
grooming practices.
BUDGET SAVER
The first exciting game of the
Morehouse football season takes
place on October 3, 1964. It is
in the best tradition that the
Spelman women attend and
cheer their brothers on to vic
tory. However, in the past this
moral support has led to a slight
strain on our well-planned bud
get. But, now, a new plan 'has
been devised by which this
small inconvenience can be
alleviated.
For the nominal sum of five
dollars we will be able to attend
all home football and basket
ball games (seventeen in toto).
This is really one of the great
est bargains that we will ever
encounter. However, we can
only avail ourselves of this mar
velous opportunity through full
student cooperation.
Therefore, the Student Coun
cil is requesting that you pay
this nominal fee by September
23, 1964 so that we can par
ticipate in this unbeatable bar-
