”'®« a
Keith Pase, 52 years old,
received the Bachelor’s degree
from Paine College last
Sunday. He was the first of his
race to graduate from Paine.
A native of Thomas West
Virginia, Pase began his college
education in 1946 when he
enrolled in the University of
West Virginia where he hoped
to become a Chemical
Engineer. He left school in
1947 and rejoined the Army.
In 1954 he was assigned to
Fort Gordon and retired from
the military in 1962. Following
his retirement from the Army,
Pase worked for Family and
Children services in Augusta
before moving to Lee County
Florida where he worked for
an engineering firm.
In 1969, Pase enrolled at
Paine College where he
converted his major from
engineering to sociology. He
maintained an “A” average in
his major field.
News-Review interviewed Pase:
Why did you decide to make
Augusta your home?
“It grew on me. I got to
working with the people - got
to know them. It grew on me.
It’s small enough that people
speak to you, yet it is
cosmopolitan enough to satisfy
almost anyone. And its
progressive. For example: In
1954 I could not meet my
Black friends downtown in a
bar for a drink. On Friday
night of this past week I
attended a reception for the
new Paine College President
where the social interaction of
Whites and Blacks was to a
degree that would have been
un-thought of in 1954.”
NEWS-REVIEW: Why did
you choose to study at Paine?
“I looked at Paine and
Augusta College. I looked at
the qualification of the
professional staff, the size of
classes, and I considered my
age, and the fact that I could
sit down in a class here
averaging twelve to
twenty-four students and get
the individual attention that I

could not get in a large
school.”
NEWS-REVIEW: How did
you expect Paine College
students to receive you?
“I didn’t know how I’d be
received by the other students,
but I approached it openly.”
NEWS-REVIEW: How did
they receive you?
“As a general rule 1 have
been on friendly terms with
even the most militant
students. There were no hostile
feelings although I’ve had some
interesting experiences.
Sometimes in sociology classes
things got pretty heavy talking
about ‘damm whitey’. But the
students would say ‘no offense
Keith.’ Their hostilities are
directed at the system. The
Blacks make their judgments
on an individual basis.’ ”
NEWS-REVIEW: Are you
satisfied with the education
you got at Paine?
“The instruction was
superior. I was constantly
exposed to a higher level of
professionalism than ever
before. There are many little
details that are hard to put into
words. Dedication on the part
of the faculty members here
far exceeds the dedication of
other faculties I’ve seen. They
are motivated by the desire to
be of service rather than desire
for financial gain.”
NEWS-REVIEW: Would
you encourage other whites to
attend?
“For anyone who is
considering going into
sociology or psychology where
he knows he will be working
with minority groups, this is
the school to attend; If for no
other reason than the deep
insight you get into the
frustration of the minority
groups and the reasons behind
their frustrations. You get to
the point where you can
actually feel the frustration
they have within them, and
how apparent it becomes that
we need each other - Black and
White.

The Women’s Civic Club
recently held its regular
monthly meeting at the
clasped in friendship is a
beautiful thing.
I’d like to be instrumental in
getting more whites to come.
I’m not talking about a one
semester exchange thing. I’m
talking about the full in depth
experience. I’d like to see
veterans use their G.I. Bill to
come here and get to know
Blacks.
It is in my age group that
more understanding is needed.
It would help to eliminate
from our vocabulary the word
tolerance and replace it with
understanding. I love the
school.”

The spring and summer
provide recruiting activity for
colleges and universities all
over the nation. While many
students have already made
their plans for higher
education, and most of the
institutions have signed up the
majority of the students who
will be on their campuses next
fall, this is still a season of
intense activity to work with
those who are undecided, and
to make a final effort to
obtain the. best students (from
the view of the colleges) and
to make an extra effort to get
in those colleges which
provide the best training and
special courses which will be
most helpful (from the
standpoint of the individual
students).
Independent College
Week
This all-out effort to match
up tiie best students with the
best colleges is being
highlighted the last part of
May not only by individual
contacts throughout the state,
but also by special organized
efforts and cooperative
displays. Ten of the
independent colleges
throughout Georgia have just
completed a week of working
together in displaying the
features of their institutions at

In Higher Education
By Dr. DuPree Jordan, Jr.
Day, and on that particular
day many present students
from all of these independent
colleges and universities were
making an all out effort to sell
friends and contacts they had
among recent high school
graduates. No faculty member
or staff employee of these
colleges can be quite as
enthusiastic about their own
schools as the students
themselves.
Wide Representation
The ten members of GFIC
include Agnes Scott College in
Decatur, Berry College in Mt
Berry, Brenau College in
Gainesville, LaGrange College
in LaGrange, Mercer
Center in Atlanta. In
connection with an extensive
celebration ■ of the first
widely-observed recognition of
Independent College Week,
sponsored by the Georgia
Foundation for Independent
Colleges, these ten well-known
institutions had a variety of
displays, including athletic
demonstrations in everything
from fencing to karate,
entertainment in a variety of
activities ( even including
washboard bands), and the
personnel available to provide
information on academic
offerings and special
professional courses.
Saturday, May 22, was
observed as College-Bound
University in Macon (Merce
also has a School of Pharmacy
in Atlanta), Oglethorpe
University in Atlanta,
Piedmont College in
Demorest, Tift College in
Forsyth, Shorter College in
Rome, and Wesleyan College
in Macon.
All of these long-esta
blished, highly respected
institutions are engaged in a
constant battle to maintain
the highest academic
standards, recruit the most
promising students available,
and meet the rising costs of
higher education which have
become a major administrative
problem of high quality
universities throughout the
nation.
This column has frequently
discussed the economic battle
which these colleges must
wage, not only to maintain
their high standards and keep
the best faculty and student
body possible, but simply to
stay in business. These Georgia
institutions are most fortunate
in having a growing number of
community leaders and
responsible citizens
throughout the state who are
aware of the problems they
face, and increasingly
concerned to find practical
ways of assisting them in the
great service which they
provide to all citizens and
taxpayers throughout the state
of Georgia.
