NEW YEAR? NEW FACES! May I Introduce.... By Y. Savwoir and Andi Williams Another new school year has begun. During a casual stroll around the campus it is possible to observe many new faculty faces. Well, if you’ve been wondering who those new faces belong to, here’s your chance to become better acquainted with them. A Spelman graduate, Miss Mary Frances Watts, has re turned to her Alma Mater as an English instructor. Miss Watts enjoys traveling, and collecting art objects, especially those made by personal acquaintances. She believes that the relationship between the student and teacher should be a two- way street, kept as flexible as possible. To her, each class is like a different person with a personality all its own. Mr. Houston Stansbury should be an old acquaintance for the Juniors and Seniors. He is a former member of the AMS Players and appeared as Prospero in The Tempest in 1964. Mr. Stansbury is from Baltimore, and a graduate of Morgan State College. He enjoys skating as well as drama. He believes that a teacher is at his best when he not only gives facts, but also gives the students a will to learn and ideas which may be applied to life. Mr. Stansbury teaches World Literature and Reading. If you join the Spelman College Orchestra, you’ll become well acquainted with Mr. Madison C. Lennon, a new member of the Music department. Mr. Lennon, who was formerly a band director in Asheville, N. C., enjoys bridge, reading, and listening to sports. He believes that the relationship between the teacher and student should be as friendly as possible, with each respecting the other’s rights. The Mesdemoiselles in the French House already know Madame Halimat Inal well. She knows six languages (includ ing Russian, Polish, and English), and she comes to us from the Caucasus, by way of Istanbul, Turkey. Madame Inal has taught for 24 years. She has learned many languages by herself, and thus believes that the job of instructor is to help her students over the rough spots—to help them find a short route to learning. She tries to teach a little, but that little very well. Madame Inal enjoys singing, playing the piano, reading (in several languages) and visiting friends. Since she has been here she has enjoyed knowing the students, especially those in Bessie Strong. In the Sociology Department is a native of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Mr. Harry Lefever. Tennis and playing the guitar are his hobbies. He considers that the role of a teacher is that of catalyst and stimulator—he is there to throw out ideas and make material available for the “common quest” for learning that he and his students share. Mathematics and chemistry students know Mr. James B. Siberts, whose interests are history, coins, and stamp-collect ing. Mr. Siberts is from Oklahoma, but he has done his graduate work at Georgia Tech. He feels that he and his students have a joint responsibility in the learning process— his, to organize and present the material in an orderly fashion; the student’s, to be prepared to understand by keeping-up. Miss Jane W. Torrey is a Visiting Professor in Psychology who is here from Connecticut College, in New London. There was formerly an exchange program with Connecticut College which is a women’s college with a student body of about 1350. Dr. Torrey hopes that her visit here will begin a series of faculty exchanges and create new interest in student exchanges. Her hobbies are “meddling in politics” and learning languages. She models her philosophy of teaching from a world-wide student survey which stated that the most desirable traits in Mrs. J. Torrey, Mr. M. Lennon, Miss M. Watts a teacher are that he should know what he is talking about and make the students know what he’s saying. Mrs. Cheryl Payer Goodman in the Department of History was a Woodrow Wilson Intern in political science. She re ceived the B.A. degree from the University of Kansas and the M.A. from the University of California at Berkeley. She is now working toward the Ph.D. at Harvard University and specializing in Asian history with emphasis on China. In studying non-Westem cultures, she is especially interested in treating them before Western development. Mrs. Goodman reads and understands the Chinese language and has many interesting comments on the rise of Chinese Communism and the significance of Chinese Communism for the Western world and the Viet Nam war. Although Miss Carolyn Crawford is not new to Spelman, she is new in her position as Placement Director. In her new capacity she hopes “that the services of the Placement Office will develop to the point that Spelman students of all classifi cations will have unlimited opportunities through academic departments, recruiters, formal and informal discussions, counseling, career clinics, seminars, and practical experience to acquire more knowledge about emerging, as well as exist ing careers for women in both new and traditional fields.” Mrs. Adlean D. Mitchell is a secretary in the Registrar’s office. She is a graduate of Florida A. and M. University in business education. Her travels within the United States have (Continued on Page 6) J/« ouie “Man on the floor!” was an obsolete shout on October 23, 1966. On this day boyfriends, fathers, uncles, as well as mothers, sisters and aunts, in vaded the dormitories of Spel man College. This day was preceded by hasty dusting, straightening and general beautifying. Before this unveiling of domiciles an impressive Instal lation Service, for the dormi tory officers, was held in Sis ters Chapel. Later, refresh ments were served in Morgan Hall. The purpose of the “Open House” was to promote a fam ily atmosphere throughout the Spelman Community. A dor mitory here at Spelman is more than just a place to live, it is a home to us, where we feel secure and protected, where we have the responsi bilities, that we so willingly carry out. As parents and friends alike returned to their respective homes they carried with them a ray of the illuminous Spel man Friendship and congeni ality. Luella Nichols The Challenge To Our Generation For the first time Spelman College was represented at the annual conference of the United States National Student Association which was held at the University of Illinois August 21 through September 1. What is the United States National Student Association? The USNSA, as it is more popularly called, is an organ ization through which Ameri can students exchange ideas, express their view, and act on issues which affect them as members of the educational community, as citizens in a changing world and as leaders in an uncertain future. Why are we members of USNSA? The students of the United (Continued on Page 6)
