NEWS-REVIEW, May 27, 1971 - PAINE I COLLEGE Wgfn NEWS 1 W * / V ▼ Mrs. Latimer Blount ■ First White Graduate ■■■■■■■ jh I * I ”'®« 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 Latest Style, Greatest Fit Be a standout at the prom in our custom fitted formal wear.

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 Black and White hand I kitchens!

I the M»GIA 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 Lenox Square Shopping ANDERSON BAR [ I 1 I ! ST.

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.
