REMEMBER WHEN"

Youth lives on hope, old age on remembrance. — Unknown

When other lips and other hearts Their tales of love shall tell,

In language whose excess imparts The power they feel so well,

There may, perhaps, in such a scene Some recollection be

Of days that have as happy been

And you'll remember me. — Alfred Bunn

AN INTRODUCTION TO SSC

Savannah State College, in its long history of 76 years, is located off Taylor Road and Falligant Avenue, in the histor city of Savannah, which is the oldest city and chief seaport of the state, as well as the first capital.

The campus, comprising one hundred and thirty-six acres, presents a setting of matchless natural beauty.

The College now includes six divisions and 14 departments which give students a wide variety of courses from whic to select. The major divisions are Business Administration, Education, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, an Technical Sciences. Through the offerings of these divisions, students may prepare for varied careers in the areas of ar modern foreign languages, English and literature, biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics, physical education, hon economics, music, history, economics, sociology, political science, engineering technology, and industrial education.

A dormitory to house 100 women students was opened at the beginning of the Fall Quarter, 1964. This two-stoi brick structure was constructed at a cost of approximately $280,000. It includes grooming rooms for beauty culture, a snac kitchen, a laundrette, and a combination room for lounging, reception and recreation. Two young ladies are housed in a roon

A dormitory for 180 women at a cost of approximately $520,000 has been completed and is now in use.

THE INTELLECTUAL CENTER OF THE CAMPUS

. H. GORDON LIBRARY — Named in honor of Dr. Asa H. Gordon, who was the first member of the college faculty to publish a book. He served the college as Dean of Faculty and Director of Research and Publications.

The library of the college is one of its most prized possessions. The adequacy of its resources and the nature of its rvices to students and faculty largely determine the quality of the academic program. On the Savannah State College campus, e library is an indispensable unit which undergirds the instructional program as well as contributes to the recreational ading interests. The library is not an adjunct to teaching but the heart of the learning process.

The library staff and faculty are busy assembling a notable book collection to be used in active support of the academic rriculum. Assembling a book collection is not enough! The librarian and his staff actively encourage students to use books ith an emphasis on the role that books play in the intellectual life of the academic community. The resources of the library elude 51,250 volumes, several thousand pamphlets, 640 periodicals, and 26 newspapers. The London Times, the New York mes, the Savannah Morning News, and the Savannah Evening Press, are on microfilm, in addition to book materials in icro-print.

"Let's Listen to a Story," hour under the direction of Mrs. Althea Anderson, Circulation Librarian, is held weekly

r the children of the community. Dr. Samuel Johnson said, "Those who do not read can have nothing to think and say."

Great Books Discussion Group, under the sponsorship of the library has been organized to encourage people to read and eet together to discuss great books.

Dr. J. W. Jamerson, local dentist, and E. J. Josey, Librarian, are the codeaders of the group. Exhibitions of paint- gs by some of the world's great artists are displayed in the library periodically. A recently inaugurated lecture series has uly made the library a market place of ideas.

All in all, the library of Savannah State College is an essential instrument in the life of the academic community.

THE GENERAL CURRICULUM

The General Education Program proposes to provide opportunities for all students to acquire the basic ills, attitudes, habits, appreciations and understandings requisite for the good life.

It seeks to guarantee to all students competency in communication and thinking. It further proposes to ient students toward and to sensitize them to human and universal good and to the worth and dignity of ery human being.

At this college the general curriculum is preoccupied with the major disciplines that:

1. Acquaint the students with broad areas of knowledge and human experience;

2. Give them an understanding of themselves, their culture and physical environment;

3. Provide the students with a sound intellectual and moral foundation upon which character and pro- fessional and vocational opportunity may rest.

The program is concerned generally with freshman and sophomore students. However, some attention is voted to students on the junior and senior level of their intellectual maturation. In this respect, general edu- tion is an integral phase of the experience of all students who matriculate for a degree at the College.

The General Education Program is under the general supervision of the General Education Committee d the Coordinator of General Education. The Committee consists of students and faculty members.

THE DIVISIONS

The formal instructional program of Savannah State College comprises the general curriculum, areas of ajor and minor concentration, and terminal curricula. The program is organized within these seven divisions:

THE DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

THE DIVISION OF EDUCATION

Department of Elementary Education

Department of Secondary Education

Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation

THE DIVISION OF HUMANITIES

Department of English Department of Fine Arts Department of Modern Languages

THE DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCES

Department of Biology

Department of Chemistry

Department of Mathematics and Physics

THE DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

THE DIVISION OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES Department of Home Economics Department of Engineering Technology

DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

A high school student who is preparing for a career in business via the college route should direct his efforts toward becoming proficient in mathematics and English at the high school level. Proficiency in mathematics allows him to make quick use of quantitative tools in solving business problems. Proficiency in English permits him to communicate his ideas. The ability to do both are significant attributes of business personnel.

Though not essential, since the college offers the necessary fundamentals, a student may also take such courses as book- keeping, shorthand, and other business subjects which are offered at his respective high school. Such an approach, at least, allows the student to make a tentative judgment as to whether or not he is favorably inclined toward specific subject areas. It should be pointed out unequivocally, however, that business training, on the college level, embraces much more than typewriting and shorthand.

Since more and more high school students are arriving at college with typing skills, it is recommended that a course in typewriting be taken. Entering students are exempted from typewriting courses in which they meet the course standards.

Whether or not students interested in the secretarial or teaching programs should take shorthand in high school, since they are required courses in these college curricula, is a debatable question. Evidence at our institution suggests that the student might well spend the time that he might devote to shorthand in high school to additional preparation in grammar and composition, if he is not already proficient in these areas.

One of the advantages of majoring in business is that one is preparing himself for a wide variety of employment possi- bilities. Opportunities exist for self-employment, for em- ployment in private industry, and for employment with the government — national, state and local.

Some positions, for which training in business at Savan- nah State College is designed to prepare students include:

Entrepreneurs Secretaries

Accountants Stenographers

Bookkeepers Typists

Salesmen Business Managers

Economists Teachers of Business

HAYWARD S. ANDERSON, D.B.A., Chairman

To realize the aims of a person desiring training in bus ness, Savannah State College's Division of Business offe courses leading to the degree of bachelor of science and terminal, two-year program leading to a certificate of pr ficiency.

A student who pursues a degree in business at this i stitution may concentrate his efforts in one of the followii areas: (1) General Business Administration, (2) Accour ing, (3) Economics, (4) Secretarial Science, and (5) Tl Program for Teachers of Business Education. In each the above curricula, consideration has been given to tl course requirements for graduate study.

Because of the numerous job opportunities that exi currently for accountants and secretaries, students shou become familiar with the attributes of successful accountar and secretaries as well as the nature of the job opportunity that are available.

A student may find a challenging career in the field accounting if he has analytical ability, if he has a facility wi figures, and if he derives personal enjoyment while doii work which requires the use of these attributes.

While numerous lists have been compiled which suggf attributes of a good secretary, the attributes of loyalty ai a mastery of shorthand and typewriting are frequent mentioned. While the following list is by no means all i elusive, it, nevertheless, gives some further insight in desired attributes of a good secretary. A prospective ei ployer recently wrote that he had a secretarial vacancy b in order to meet the job specifications the secretary had have the following: a pleasing personality, facility wi English, a mastery of telephone etiquette, courtesy, neatne in both appearance and work, and the ability to work wi others. Aspiring secretaries can acquire and develop mai of these attributes early.

Because occupations within the field of business a numerous and because the specific required attributes with each occupation may vary, high school students are e couraged, in addition to utilizing their own counselors, visit colleges and counsel with professors and counselors f< guidance in career selection.

Business Students Training for Tomorrow's Responsibilities

DIVISION OF EDUCATION

CALVIN L. KIAH, Ed.D., Chairman

The Division of Education at Savannah State College is a member of the Association of Colleges for teachers Education. It offers twelve curricula in teacher preparation and a program of basic training for sacher-librarians. These programs are approved by the State Department of Education. This means that satis- actory completion of any program brings automatic certification in the field of study pursued.

A person majoring in Education at Savannah State College is the concern of every division and department f the College, therefore, the resources and facilities — as well as the interest and efforts of the entire institution, re at his disposal.

Aside from a strong academic classroom program in general, specialized, and professional education, he teaching major at Savannah State College has rich, varied, and meaningful laboratory experience which •rings one into constant contact with children and youth.

COLLEGE-WIDE PROVISION FOR TEACHER EDUCATION

The Division comprises three departments: the De- partment of Elementary Education; the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation; and the Department of Secondary Education. The preparation of teachers is, however, a college-wide commitment. Because every division and department at the College is involved in training teachers in some subject matter field, this function engages the constant interest and efforts, staff resources, and facilities of the entire in- stitution.

Students entering the Division of Education do not only get classroom experiences to enable them to become good ;eachers but the curriculum also enables them in meeting the responsibility in nursery centers and the community. !top) Mrs. Owens challenging students in classroom in order to prepare them to meet the demands and responsibilities

in society.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION,

AND RECREATION

The essential aim of the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation is to afford pro- fessional training for pre-service and in-service teach- ers of health, physical education, and recreation in the elementary and secondary schools. A parallel aim is advisement. The aim is to provide for all students instruction in the basic principles of health and recrea- tional activity needed for wholesome living.

In pursuance of the foregoing aims, this Depart- ment provides a four-fold program of instruction. For students who plan to become professional workers in the field of health, physical education, and recrea- tion— either in schools or in other agencies — the de- partment offers a sequence of specialized training to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, with a concentration in health, physical education, and recreation.

In addition, for all students enrolled in teache education curricula at Savannah State College, thi department provides basic training in supervision o one or more phases of a comprehensive healtl physical education, and recreation program in th schools of Georgia. This phase of the work is pre vided either in selected specialized courses or in minor sequence. Further, for all students enrolle< at the college this department provides instruction i the fundamental concepts and activities of healtl physical education, and recreation as an essentia phase of general education.

Finally, this department serves the college con munity through instruction and leadership in the intra mural program. The intramural program is, in effect a laboratory in which students enjoy practicing th skills learned in general service courses and relis, competing with their peers.

It is not only the policy of the Savannah State College curriculum to train the mind but the college also offers a well- rounded program for the training of the body.

DIVISION OF HUMANITIES

FORREST O. WIGGINS, Ph.D., Chairman

The Division of Humanities, as its name implies, is concerned primarily with transforming the individual nto a human and humane person. The technique for realizing this aim is that of serious study of the human leritage as it has been recorded in literature, music, art, and philosophy. In this manner the student deepens lis appreciation, sharpens his intellect, enhances his critical powers, and incorporates himself in the mainstream )f the best that has been thought and felt.

The Division of Humanities provides opportunities for majoring in English, music, the fine arts, French, ind Spanish. The curricula in these areas are designed also to prepare teachers. Thus students who elect to each become purveyors of the humanistic tradition. The College provides a means also for meeting the national leed for persons trained in foreign languages. As future linguists and/or teachers, students have an unusual >pportunity at Savannah State College. A strong faculty in modern language in addition to a recently installed aboratory assures the students the means of thoroughly preparing themselves in this area.

THE DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS

MUSIC

In the area of music, the Department of Fine Arts at Sa- vannah State College offers a major program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Music Education and two minor programs — one for prospective teachers in the second- ary schools and a nonteaching program. All of the curricula have been approved by the three national accrediting agencies — The Music Teachers National Association, the National Association of Schools of Music and the Music Educators National Conference, as well as by the State Board of Certification and the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.

Courses include intensive work in theory, history and literature, performance, applied music, conducting and music education. Although 75 hours are required for state certifica- tion, a total of 82 hours constitutes the four-year music re- quirement at the College. Previous training of at least two years in any applied area is required of all prospective majors, but skilled aptitude is recognized and accepted in lieu of this requirement if necessary. Most majors must pursue four years of training in piano, voice, or another instrument as well as the same amount of time in their applied major area. In addition to the music courses, all candidates for a degree take a large complement of courses in general education and the professional sequences.

The five musical organizations — The Marching Band. The Concert Band, The Choral Society, The Women's Glee Club and The Men's Glee Club — are each directed by a full-time faculty member and provide ample opportunity for students inside and outside of the department to receive experiences in public performance which range from programs on the

campus at assemblies, church services, vespers, and special programs, to local television appearances, concerts in the community, athletic games away from home, and concert tours in several states.

One of the most important operations in this department is the awarding each year of a number of scholarships, called grants-in-aid, which are given to capable, worthy applicants in all organizations upon recommendation of the department. Depending upon the aptitude, academic standing, and fi- nancial need of the student, these awards are sufficient at times to provide tuition for a full year. Grants are made, however, only to applicants who file the necessary forms, are recommended by the department, and are approved by the Committee on Scholarships. Recipients, encouraged to ap- ply in the spring, are usually notified during the summer, well in advance of the opening of the Fall Quarter.

As for facilities, the Department at the present time occupies the entire third floor of Hill Hall and the Morgan Hall Annex, but plans have just been completed for the construction of a new Fine Arts Building which will house the entire Department. The present facilities provide space for classes, organizational rehearsals, practice periods, listen- ing room, and offices. Pianos are provided for practice, and band instruments are provided, both without charge. Com- plete uniforms, robes, stoles, and blazers are also furnished to members of the various organizations.

For any additional information concerning the Depart- ment please feel free to address your inquiries to Dr. Coleridge A. Braithwaite, Chairman, Department of Fine Arts, Savannah State College.

ART

SSC student, Lee Fluker, views with appreciation the paintings of fine arts student Paul Johnson.

The rewards can be great for a person with or ithout "artistic talent." To gain these rewards, one eeds only the desire to learn and a good place in rhich to learn. The Art Department at Savannah tate College provides students with an adequate nvironment for learning. If one has the desire, then e can progress at Savannah State College.

The Art Department is located in new quarters, specially designed and equipped with modern studios nd lecture rooms being brought up-to-date, making : possible to teach the latest use of books and methods i lithography, etching, serigraphy, ceramic, sculpture, nd painting.

Students who have studied art at Savannah State lollege have reaped many rewards. Some have won arge sums of money in art competition. Some are njoying the success of exhibiting their art at qualified alleries. One former student is in the Pentagon in Washington, D. C, where he is using the knowledge

of art acquired here. Others have successful careers as teachers of art. And, still others have gone on to more advanced studies in schools throughout the country.

Art students at Savannah State College occasion- ally have opportunities of getting first-hand experi- ence, as a number of art jobs of short duration come into the Art Department. There are some jobs of a more permanent nature waiting to be filled.

The Art Department is prepared and eager to help students in many ways. The rewards can be plentiful for those who are seeking; and when they acquire a Bachelor of Science Degree in Art Educa- tion, they will find that rewards other than salary, position, dignity, or fame await them. They may learn, ultimately, to enrich their lives with things which do not pass so quickly; for, to know and to be able to enjoy knowing is indeed a divine reward.

13

MODERN LANGUAGES

The Department of Modern Languages offers in- struction in three languages: French, German and Spanish. The primary aim of the members of the Department is to teach the student to understand, speak, read and write these languages so that he may communicate with others who speak them. This in- struction is carried on in daily recitations in the class- room and also in a modern twenty booth laboratory where the student can increase his proficiency by listening to and repeating exercises of various types especially prepared for this purpose. For students who wish to develop more than an elementary pro-

ficiency in French or Spanish, the Department offersj courses leading to a minor in either language. It also offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor oi Science in Education with a concentration either in French or Spanish.

Outside of the field of education, a person with a major in a foreign language can find employment in several areas. First, there is the area of organizations more or less international in character. Because oi the nature of its work, there is almost a constant de- mand at the United Nations Headquarters for men and women who are proficient in foreign languages.

The department of Modern Languages does not merely offer instruction but it also attempts to perfect students in the understanding, writing and reading of languages in order to communicate with others who speak them.

DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCES

BOOKER T. GRIFFITH, Ph.D., Chairman

The Division of Natural Sciences is proud of the record that it has made in helping young people find lemselves in the scientific and mathematical world during the last quarter of a century.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY

The aims of the Department of Biology are (1) to provide for all students that knowledge which is essential to an understanding of the biological basis of living; (2) to train persons adequately through the media of advanced courses for entry into the pro- fessional study of dentistry, medicine, and nursing; (3) to prepare persons to teach the biological sciences in the secondary school or to continue study on the graduate level.

In addition to the required general courses, this department offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in biology. This department offers also a minor.

The Biology Department is proud of its achieve- ments during the last several years. It takes great pride in reviewing the records of some of its graduates.

THE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

The Department of Chemistry has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years. The teaching staff, teaching space and equipment have been increased one hundred per cent.

The Department has been quite successful in obtaining funds from Chemical Societies and the National Science Foundation to sponsor several significant programs such as the In-Service Institute for teachers of Chemistry and General Science in secondary education and the Summer Science Program for selected high school students.

Many research projects are carried out by the students in cooperation with the department's active research program. The Department feels that research projects serve as good preparation for more highly developed and specialized re- search than the students will encounter in graduate school. The research program serves as an outlet of expression of the student's scientific interest and capabilities other than in the classroom and gives him experience in employing the scientific method in problem solving.

The Department of Chemistry provides basic training for higher education — work leading to the Master of Science and Ph.D. degree. In addition to this it provides all of the chem- istry needed in pre-nursing, pre-dental and pre-medical edu- cation.

The curriculum has been revised so that the student will receive a substantial number of courses in mathematics, physics, and biology which will aid him in becoming a better Chemist.

The Department believes in creativity, freedom of ex- ploration, productivity, hard work, and recreation.

Students do not only develop good relationship with their professors, but they also develop participation-relation- ships in research projects with professors. Dr. Charles Pratt and students discuss chemistry research findings.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS

The Mathematics curriculum and courses are being con tinually revised to keep in step with the recommendations released by the School Mathematics Study Group in 1960 The textbooks, course outlines, and other materials are con tinuously being changed in order to meet today's challenge The Physics courses are designed to give emphasis to the PSSC recommendations for college Physics.

The objectives of the department are not only to prepare better teachers of Mathematics and Physics, but also to pro- vide them with the courses necessary to do further study in areas like linear programming and computing, statistical research, electronics, guided missiles, engineering, mathe- matics for various phases of industry research, actuary science and over twenty branches of governmental service.

The operation of certain instruments is also taught to

students in chemistry, mathematics and physics classes.

DIVISION OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES

CLYDE W. HALL, Ed.D., Chairman

The Division of Technical Sciences seeks to ac- complish two major objectives: (1) to provide students with sufficient specialized training in engineering technology, technical home economics and industrial teacher education to meet entry employment require- ments in these areas; and (2) to provide students with a broad liberal education which includes study in the general areas of communications, mathematics, the natural sciences, the behavioral and social sciences, and the fine arts.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the Di- vision of Technical Sciences is organized into two departments which offer curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science degree. The Department of Engi- neering Technology offers programs in building con- struction technology, electronics technology, industrial arts education, mechanical technology and trade and industrial education, and the Department of Home Economics affords opportunity for students to major in foods and nutrition and institutional management, and textiles and clothing.

Individuals interested in careers in the technical sciences should be well grounded in the applied sciences. Such high school subjects as physics, algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry and industrial shop are very desirable for persons planning to pursue engi- neering technology curricula, and chemistry and home- making are essential for those interested in technical home economics.

Students entering the home economics program get

actual experiences by working in close relation with

their instructors.

From the Ajlumni President' s Desk

Dear Fellow Alumni:

As we near the end of another year it is altogethej fitting and proper that we pause and review our activitie: in order to determine whether we have made progres toward our goals as we had hoped or need to speed u our actions. How has it been with you?

( 1 ) Have you sent in your Chapter roster and include the address, or your own name and address?

(2) Have you completed and mailed the questionnaire which required so much time and postage to gj out to you?

(3) What about your Chapter meetings and activities Your dues? Your scholarship donations?

(4) Have you given your cooperation for the develoi ment of the kind of Chapter and Alumni Associ tion you would be proud to claim as yours?

If you cannot answer yes to the above questions yc have allowed things to pile up on you. Please take tin to catch up. We need every Alumnus and every Chapte To be a "Has Been" is an improper title for any Alumni of Savannah State. There is a new Chapter!! It is tl Chicago Chapter. Isn't that wonderful? Can't give yc details yet, but Congratulations and Best Wishes to thei and a great big welcome from us all.

I regret that all of our Alumni could not attend tl dedication of the six new buildings. There were many o faces and friends to be seen from far and near. It w, thrilling to witness, one seemed to hear a small voice with saying "Savannah State College has been remembered last," and you wanted to play in the water to be sure \ had a real swimming pool. For all of this we should very proud and grateful. We should also be more dete mined to do our share for this is a great challenge to tl Alumni of Savannah State College. Let us not forget o responsibility to our Alma Mater at this time when strong Alumni group is needed. We have made progres but not enough. We have organized in three districts ai last year were able to provide enough funds to assist matching all funds allotted by the NDEA Scholarship Fun and to take advantage of Youth Corps Work Prograi However, there is still much assistance needed for t Grant-in-Aid Program. With Armstrong State College al in Savannah, Savannah State College needs all of o support, now more than ever, moral and financial.

The Classes of 6's will be eligible for reunions th June. The Class of 1936 is planning a reunion and wou like to hear from all members. Address mail to Mr. Prin Mitchell, Alumni Secretary, Savannah State College, Sava nah, Georgia. Please write immediately.

An anonymous donor (not an alumnus) has offered give $1,000 or several thousands of dollars toward Alumni Guest House which would also house Alumni C fices, whenever we decide to take up such a project. Thii about it, and talk about it; we will get your reactions lat<

New Placement Service Available

To Alumni

According to N. R. Freeman, Placement Director, Sa- tnnah State College, in cooperation with College Placement Duncil, Inc., is making a new service available to SSC Lumni. The purpose of this new service, known as the raduate Resume Accumulation and Distribution (GRAD) stem, is to make the qualifications of applicants known

thousands of prospective employers through the use of ectronic data processing.

An alumnus interested in finding new employment com- unicates directly with the Savannah State College Place- ent Office. If the Placement Officer feels that the GRAD ogram will be of value to the individual in question, the ndidate is given an instruction sheet and a four-page sume form. The alumnus has the resume completed and :atly typed since it will be photo-copied in its original rm for distribution and sends it to the College Placement auncil, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with a $10.00 service e. At the data center of the Council, each resume for- arded by an alumnus is analyzed both in terms of present • most recent employment and of previous experience, wenty-one key factors are extracted from the information id entered into an electronic file. The original resume

microfilmed to be retrieved almost immediately upon ceipt of an employer's request.

In many respects similar to the electronic systems which lable airline ticket offices to determine the availability of ight reservations, the GRAD system permits a search to : conducted in seconds. In a typical use, an employer ay inquire for applicants on the basis of six or eight lectors — all in English since the system does not require )des. Hardly has his question been completed on the letype when the machine reports that 83 alumni whose lalifiers are in the system meet his specifications. The quiry is restated with more stringent requirements and ie number of qualifying applicants now drops to 17. If e employer is satisfied, an order is then typed to send ssumes on the chosen candidates.

The use of the GRAD system is not available to just lyone. Since its designers were aware that misuse of the stem for "looking-around" or job-hopping would detract om its value to employers, Placement Directors must

endorse each resume and attest to the fact that the applicant has received a four-year degree or higher. The resume remains in the active file for six months. If the alumnus has received a job while a resident in the file he may not return to the GRAD system for a full year. Those deleted from the file at the end of six months are advised as to the number of times their resumes were referred. In in- stances where alumni have been residents in the electronic file for six months and have attracted no offers, it is rec- ommended that they communicate with their Placement Officer for suggestions as to the shortcomings which may be affecting their candidacy.

Special provisions have been programmed into the GRAD system whereby the applicant's current employer is blocked electronically from receiving resumes. Employers may make their electronic search of selector factors in terms of state of residence but not of city. Thus, the geographical selector does not reveal the present employer accidentally when the applicant is a resident of a "one-industry" town. Further confidentiality is provided by maintaining only in the College Placement Council data center file the names and addresses of alumni applicants and the identity and addresses of participating employers. In practice, each resume will be studied first to extract the most inclusive job descriptor. It will then be further assessed to determine 21 additional selector elements. Major items among these in- clude: state of residence, marital status, major fields studied in college and type of degree received, class rank, present and required salary, area of job interests, geographic pref- erence, language proficiency, and several others of lesser importance. Any combination of these may be used by the employer in making his search.

Some of the areas of study being considered are con- centrations of employer interest in terms of specific quali- fications, supply and demand by various classifications, salary trends, etc. Thus, the project not only places oppor- tunities of an unparalleled scope before the alumnus but promises to make his Placement Office a prime information center for real manpower statistics. Perhaps equally impor- tant, the college will have available and sensitive to its own needs a manpower tool made possible by the latest develop- ments in electronic data processing.

College Gets Grant For 0E0 Project

The Office of Economic Opportunity approved a $144,252 grant to Savannah State College for use in Project Upward Bound. The purpose of the program is to encourage students to continue their education on the college level.

Upward Bound, planned for June 20- August 12. will involve 100 boys and girls who are residents of Chatham County; have completed the tenth and eleventh grades; and meet the criteria for admission according to the guide- lines established by the Office of Eco- nomic Opportunity.

During the period between Septem- ber 1 7.^1966, and May 27, 1967 (33 Saturdays) curricular and co-curricular experiences will be provided for the 100 students.

Throughout the year students will re- ceive intensive instruction in com- munication skills ( reading, writing, speaking, and listening), mathematics, and in Great Issues. During the sum- mer session one and a half hours will be allotted daily on a five-day weekly basis in each section of communication skills and mathematics. One hour daily will be given to classroom guidance and instruction on a three - times - a - week basis for "Great Issues" instruction, although there will be additional in- formal "get-togethers" with students. There will be approximately twelve students for every teacher in classroom activities. Classroom instruction will be confined to the morning hours and it will be largely initiated out of the ex- periences of the students.

During the afternoons of the sum- mer session co-curricular experiences in music, art. drama, and dance will be provided along with such recreational activities as swimming, tennis, volley ball, and badminton. These will not be recmired, but students will be en- couraged to participate in some of the activities. Various hobby groups will be promoted by the special events director with the assistance of tutor-counsellors. Principally in the evening hours of the summer session, students who desire special tutorial assistance will be aided by dormitory counsellors.

Various cultural experiences and field

trips will be provided for the partici- pants throughout the school year. It is expected that the students will attend various cultural events which are spon- sored on the campus.

Wilbur C. McAfee, Associate Pro- fessor of History, Savannah State Col- lege, will direct the program. Mr. Mc- Afee has been associated with Savannah State College for the past three years. He has taught for sixteen years on the elementary, secondary, and college levels. Between 1960 and 1962, he was principal of the Horace Mann School in Blue Lake, Illinois. Prior to coming to Savannah, he served on the faculty of Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Air. AIcAfee obtained the B.Ed, degree at Southern Illinois Uni- versity and the M.A. degree at the Uni- versity of Illinois. He has completed most of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree at the University of Illinois.

A secretary, clerk-typist, chief coun- sellor, two dormitory counsellors, special events director, twelve instructors, and eleven student assistants will be associ- ated with Mr. McAfee.

Mr. McAfee and his staff will work closely with the Economic Opportunity Authority for Savannah-Chatham County Area, Inc.. and representatives of Armstrong State College, the Chatham County Board of Education, and the Savannah community in carrying out the objectives of the proposal. He and his staff will be advised by an Academic Policy Committee which consists of representatives of Armstrong State Col- lege, Savannah State College, and the Chatham County Board of Education. An Academic Policy Committee will give overall direction to the Upward Bound Program. Members of the Academic Policy Committee are Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr., President, Savan- nah State College, Dr. Henry Ashmore, President, Armstrong State College, Airs.

Anyone knowing Mrs. Green can easily see why her co-workers regard her so highly. She is a teacher of the highest calibre, both professionally and academically. When she is at school, teaching comes first with her. She is truly a dedicated teacher. Her Principal often remarks that she places her with the top ten of the teaching profession.

Mrs. Green is the daughter of Mrs. Emily Stevens, and the wife of Mr. Joseph Green. Principal of Alfred E. Beach High School. She has one son, Joseph Green, Jr.

Travel has been a great part of Mrs. Green's broadening experiences. She has visited many parts of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. One summer she did "island hopping" around the Carib- bean. She says it was quite rewarding because it gave her a keener insight relative to the ways of life in many places. The experiences gained from her travels have been invaluable to her in her classroom situations.

Educationally and socially Mrs. Green has many affiliations. She is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and a communicant of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church.

At present, Mrs. Green is very excited over her agenda for the coming sum- mer. She has just received confirma- tion of her reservations for a tour of the Orient.

Mrs. Janette B. Hayes, native Savan- nahian, Principal of Jackson Elementary School, was accorded the privilege last year of directing the first Head Start Program in Savannah-Chatham County. She was appointed to this position by the local Board of Education. The classes and faculties of the schools in- volved were integrated, which was a first in public education for this deep South city.

The very excellent job done by Mrs. Hayes and her staff with the Head Start Program was acknowledged by all con- cerned with it. This program was in the nature of a pilot program, and laid the ground work for other successful pro- grams to follow.

Mrs. Hayes' career with the Board of Education began in 1926 when she was employed as a third and fourth grade teacher of Springfield Terrace School. When Florance Street School was built in 1930, she was transferred there where she taught fifth, sixth, and seventh grades at various times during her twenty-five years' stay there. She was also selected as Florance Street School's first "Teacher of the Year," for 1955-56.

After serving two years as Principal of Harris Street School, Mrs. Hayes was appointed Principal of Moses Jackson School, in 1958, where she still serves in this capacity.

For several years Mrs. Hayes was in charge of the Adult Education Evening

classes at Florance School, under the supervision of Mr. Wilton C. Scott.

In 1960, Mrs. Hayes was the re- cipient of a Teacher's Medal of Honor and Certificate from the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge, Pa.

SAVANNAH CHAPTER SSC ALUMNI SALUTES MISS LULA SMITH

By Leanna T. Wilcox and Ruby King

Flowers are the gift of nature, Some are white, some are yellow,

and some are red; We would rather have one while

we are living, Than one hundred when we are

dead.

Thus the Savannah Chapter felt such high esteem for Miss Smith and the wonderful services rendered by her, that a gift tree was presented to her at her home on April 9, 1966.

Miss Smith was among the first grad- uates of Savannah State College, which she cherished dearly.

Her work with the Alumni has been most outstanding. She has at all times been an asset to the organization. The service that she has rendered in the of- fice as treasurer has been unexcelled. In 1956, she was the honoree of "This Is Your Life" at which time she received a plaque and a book entitled "This Is Your Life," which contained some of the outstanding achievements of her life.

Her activities extended far beyond the confines of her home, for in the schools, churches, and civic organizations, Miss Smith was found delving into the prob- lems of the community. She was always trying to bring sunshine into the lives of others. As the poet, Sam Walter Foss, says:

"But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears,

Both parts of an infinite plan;

Let me live in my house by the side of the road,

And be a friend to man."

This was Miss Smith's daily motto.

A life full of service

Is hers to give

With Savannah State's Alumni

As long as she lives.

This tribute to Miss Smith So touching, so kind Is given to her By our Saviour Divine.

The Savannah Chapter Misses her smile,

And hopes for her recovery In a very short while.

Miss Smith has been the Savannah Chapter's treasurer for many years, but due to her illness, she recently relin- quished her duties.

Miss Lula Smith: The Chapter needs more women

like you; Women who are tried and true; Women who will not shirk, Women who will dare and work!

GRADUATE RETIRES FROM THE ARMY

Major Charles L. Holliman (Right)

m* -

)r. Melvin B. Tolson, an eminent Negro

>oet, addresses poetry lovers during the

elebration of National Library Week on

the Savannah State College campus.

Major Charles L. Holliman has left the battlefields and hospitals where he distinguished himself so greatly to take up a new career — that of a teacher. He hopes soon to join his brother, M. C. Holliman, a medical technician at Clax- ton Memorial Hospital, in Dublin, Ga., where he plans to teach in one of the local secondary schools.

The 1949 graduate of Savannah State College was awarded the Second Oak Leaf Cluster to the Army Commenda- tion Medal in a ceremony held in the office of Brigadier General Philip W. Mallory, the Commander of Walter Reed General Hospital.

The ceremony marked the end of the major's twenty year career, first as an enlisted man in World War II, and later as an officer in the Korean War.

In this latest award of the Army Commendation Medal, the former American University student was cited for his "exemplary performance of duty" as the Administrator of Walter Reed's Pathology Service from June 1962 to March 1966.

The citation read in part: "Major Holliman formulated a new accounting system which enabled work units to be recorded and compiled in an accurate and meaningful tabulation. This en- abled the need for laboratory services

to be more effectively adapted to the available space and personnel. This ac- counting system also was most useful and effective in demonstrating our re- quirements as to personnel, space and funds. Major Holliman was also very successful in insuring that changes necessitated by automation would in- crease the efficiency and output without affecting the morale of the personnel." Major Holliman's previous Army Commendation Medals cited him for in- cidents which occurred at what he would consider to be the high points of his career.

His first award cited him for his care and treatment of 700 casualties during the Korean War. There were no doctors available, and Major Holliman, then a lieutenant, drew on his experience as a combat medic in World War II in order to treat them. To do so, he re- called he had to perform tasks which ordinarily would require a field surgeon. Of the 700 casualties, only one died.

His second award covered his service as commander of the 563rd Ambulance Company in Korea during the period 1951 to 1952.

Major Holliman's presence at Gen- eral MacArthur's landing on Leyte in the Philippines highlighted his career as a World War II enlisted man.

Western Electric Features Alumnus in Ad

Dr. Cornelius B. Troup, President of Fort /alley State College, motivates his audi- ence at the Honors Day Convocation held at Savannah State College.

Bobby Burgess, '62, is featured in a Western Electric advertisement. The upper part of the advertisement con- tains a picture of Mr. Burgess at work. The copy reads as follows:

"Know that Bell telephone on your table? It's made from copper, iron, zinc, gold and a variety of other materials. All must meet precise standards of quality and purity.

"Chemist Bobby Burgess at West- ern Electric's plant in Indianapolis tests the exact composition of such materials — before they can be put in your tele- phone.

"With a spectrograph Mr. Burgess can detect impurities as small as one millionth of an ounce. In fact, he has made valuable contributions to Western

Electric's cost reduction program by extending the use of the fast spectro- graphs techniques to replace lengthy wet chemical tests.

"Mr. Burgess gained his basic skills in chemistry at Savannah State College in Georgia. Now he is studying for a Master's degree in metallurgical engi- neering at Purdue University.

Western Electric relies on inventive, resourceful people like Bobby Burgess in the office, the lab and the plant. Keeping the cost of your telephone service down is as important to Western Electric as it is to your Bell telephone company. We are the same Bell System team. We have been since 1882, work- ing together with the same purpose: to keep bringing you the world's finest telephone service at low cost."

man of the National Security Resources Board. The following year he joined the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion, helping in its reorganization and at the same time studying labor prob- lems in the Far East and Southeast Asia for the International Confedera- tion of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU).

In 1958, Weaver became the Assist- ant to the President of the International Union of Electrical, Radio and Ma- chine Workers (IUE) and directed their political education program.

SSC Presents Awards To Two Outstanding American Librarians

The staff of Savannah State College Library presented awards to two out- standing American librarians during National Library Week.

In a letter to Eric Moon announcing the award, E. J. Josey, Librarian of Savannah State College indicated that "The Savannah State College Library Staff feels that your rapid rise in the Bowker Company to the Board of Direc- tors is a clear indication of the kind of leadership that you are giving to one of the oldest and greatest publishing houses, dedicated to service for the library profession. Not only have you advanced librarianship through the po- sition as Editor of Library Journal, but you have signally sensitized the library profession to many of its neglected obligations, including the democratiza- tion of the American Library Associa- tion, and pointing up many unexplored areas of librarianship that are not prob- lems, but golden opportunities."

Mr. Moon has had an illustrious career. He came to Library Journal from Newfoundland, where he has been director of public library services for the Province and secretary-treasurer of the Newfoundland Public Libraries Board. Mr. Moon went to Canada in 1958 from England, where he had served in five public library systems and was prominent among young leaders of the profession. He served on a Canadian Library Association committee to com- pare U. S., Canadian and Common- wealth library education and qualifica- tions.

Mr. Moon entered library work in 1939 in the Southhampton Public Libraries, then served in the Royal Air Force in Britain, India and Singapore. He studied at the Loughborough School of Librarianship, and is a specialist in historical bibliography. He organized the first bookmobile service in the Hertfordshire County Library, set up a reader's advisory service and a public relations program at the Finchley Public Libraries, was deputy chief librarian at Brentford and Chiswick Public Libraries and became head of bibliographical services at the Ken- sington (London) Public Libraries be- fore moving to Newfoundland.

Mr. Moon has lectured at library training institutions in England. He was for several years an officer of the As- sociation of Assistant Librarians and is a past chairman of its Greater London Division. He was the first editor of the British Library Association's magazine, LIAISON, started in 1957, has con- tributed frequently to professional pub- lications and has written reviews and historical pieces for Canadian maga- zines and script for the Canadian Broad- casting System. He is very active in the American Library Association and the New York Library Association. He was recently elected to the Board of Direc- tors of the Bowker Company.

The second award will go to Dr. Virginia Lacy Jones, Dean, School of Library Service, Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia.

In a letter to Mrs. Jones it was pointed out that the staff is presenting this award "for your outstanding con- tribution to library education and for the signal honor and distinction which you recently received as being the first Negro to become President-Elect of the American Association. You have made the Atlanta University Library School one of the great library schools in the country. Savannah State College is honored to bestow this award to such a distinguished person as yourself."

Considered to be one of the leading library educators in the country, Mrs. Jones, who in private life is the wife of Dr. E. A. Jones, Professor of French at Morehouse College, has had a long and distinguished career as a librarian and library educator.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Mrs. Jones was educated at Hampton Institute, University of Illinois and received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago. She has served as Librarian of Louisville Municipal College and Hampton Institute. She has served as Director of the Department of Library Science at Prairie View State College and as Catalog Librarian at Atlanta University. Since 1945, she has been Dean of the School of Library Service at Atlanta University. She is very active in the American Library Association,

the NAACP, the Association of Library Schools and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Mrs. Jones has contributed articles to many professional magazines. Under her leadership, the Atlanta University School of Library Service received a grant of more than $300,000 to improve the school. Today, the Atlanta Univer sity School of Library Service is con sidered one of the leading library schools in the country.

Previous award winners were, ir 1964. Milton Byam, Deputy Librarian Brooklyn Public Library and in 1965 Miss Ruth Walling, Associate Directoi of Libraries, Emory University.

The awards were presented by Dr Howard Jordan, Jr., President of Sa vannah State College with Dr. Rober D. Reid, the Dean of the college, read ing the citation, at the annual Nationa Library Week Convocation which was held on Friday, April 22.

In his acceptance speech, Mr. Moor stated, "I am not normally very en chanted with awards, but around Na tional Book Awards time I can ge positively cynical and liverish about tht whole subject. At such times, it seem to me that awards are too often tokei appreciation for sheer staying power i.e., seniority (in the most liverisl moments, I think senility, or for ex treme orthodoxy).

"Somebody once said that a man i:j known by the company he keeps." A: I look at the names of the other winner: of this award — Milt Byam, Ruth Wall ing, and my friend Virginia Lacy Jonej — I must tell you that I am both de lighted with the company and flatterec that you should place me in it.

"Let me add also that I am pleasec to be here in your company. You librarian is not just a friend but, in nr view, one of the most courageous librarians in the country. We havi fought side by side in the past, and will doubtless do so again. Somebody most certainly, should give him ai award."

"For mine, thank you very much, will try to live up to it."

TEXT OF REMARKS

By Governor Carl E. Sanders at the dedication of six new buildings at Savannah State College in Wiley Gym- nasium on the campus at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 9, 1966.

PRESIDENT JORDAN, REVEREND MR. WIL- [AMS, MR. SOLMS, CHAIRMAN DUNLAP, CHAN- ELLOR SIMPSON. CHAIRMAN LOVETT, MAYOR ACLEAN, MAYOR GILREATH, MEMBERS OF THE OARD OF REGENTS, DISTINGUISHED GUESTS, ND MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY AND STUDENT ODY OF SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE:

This is a banner day for higher education in Savan- ih, and it has been my pleasure to share it with you ;re at Savannah State and over at Armstrong.

As Governor of Georgia, I have stressed over and /er again the importance of education. I have urged e people of Georgia to invest in the future of our State | making our educational programs adequate.

It is thus with a deep sense of satisfaction that, as the

rst Governor of Georgia to visit Savannah State College.

come to dedicate six beautiful, functional, and im-

ressive buildings for this outstanding educational in-

itution.

To build an exceptional educational program we must ove forward on many fronts. We need determined and iger students. We need an able and enthusiastic faculty id administration. And we need a good physical plant, scause you cannot prepare a 20th Century student to ve in a 21st Century world in 19th Century buildings.

The Governor and the Legislature very properly are cpected to refrain from day-to-day involvement in :ademic affairs. We are, however, frequently asked to :t aside state moneys for academic affairs, and this the Dvernment of Georgia has done.

In the four years of my Administration, we will have nanced $163-million worth of college construction, his is $40-million more than the total of funds spent ir college construction during the entire 32 years of le University System's previous existence.

Earlier today I dedicated the new campus of Arm- rong College, which was a total investment of $3-and- ne-half million, with about $2-and-a-quarter million )ming directly from the State.

And now, it is my privilege to dedicate six buildings ere at Savannah State which will represent only part of le more than $3,000,000 worth of construction which lis Administration is financing at your growing and tpanding college.

In the seventy-four years since it was located at this te, Savannah State College has produced many fine iucators, and the buildings we name today are dedicated l their honor. Today we officially dedicate:

— A classroom building named for the late Dr. William K. Payne whose 25 years of service to Savannah State brought many improvements, as well as accredi- tation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

— Two women's dormitories, housing 280 women with one building named for the late Dean of Women, Janie L. Lester, and the other in memory of the late Professor and Mrs. John A. Lockette, who served, respec- tively, as Professor of Mathematics and Director of Dormitories.

The library is named for the late Professor Asa H. Gordon, a former Dean of the College and Director of Research and Publications.

The Technical Sciences Building is dedicated in memory of the late President Benjamin F. Hubert, who was president from 1926 to 1947.

And finally, we dedicate a new annex, containing a swimming pool, to the Willcox-Wiley Gymnasium, which already has been formally named.

I join with you in thanking the members of the families of these distinguished faculty members for their presence today.

And I urge every student here, and every faculty member, to make the best possible use of these facilities. The State can provide the brick and mortar, but it must be your efforts and your willingness to learn and teach that will make them worthwhile.

The college student of today, in one sense, has a harder task than when I was in school or when your faculty members were in school. In another sense it is easier because America and our own State of Georgia have come to realize that without education our people are doomed to poverty and poor health and poor jobs. Without the information and the processes of thought and accomplishment that quality education can give, our people would be barred forever from the bright promise of'the future.

But with education, the doors to the future are opened wide, and through them can march a confident and united people.

This march has begun, and with it comes our long- sought promise of tomorrow.

To each of you, I wish good luck and Godspeed.

Thank you.

GREETINGS ALUMNI:

I am happy to extend greetings and a warm welcome to all of our alumni and friends as you come to Homecoming of 1968. I especially want to express my sincere and grateful appreciation for the excellent manner in which you have supported the program of the College during the past year.

During the past year, I have had the opportunity to meet and talk with alumni in many parts of our State and of the country. It is a source of genuine pride, stimulation, and inspiration to witness the interest, enthusiasm, and support that Savannah State College men and women have for their Alma Mater.

This year, with the creation of our Development Office, and with an alumnus, Mr. Robert L. Bess, as Development Officer, we will make a greater effort to contact larger numbers of our alumni. We urge you to support the new Development Officer in his new activities.

We are happy to welcome you to our new Stadium, and it is our sincere hope that you will come back often to the new home of the TIGERS.

It is always a pleasure to have Fort Valley State College students, faculty, and staff on our campus. We extend a warm welcome to all of them.

We hope that this alumni Homecoming weekend will be an enjoyable one for all of you--renewing old acquaintances and meeting new friends. When this weekend is over, we hope that you will be happy that you came, Please plan to visit with us often.

Have a safe trip home, and remember that you carry with you our best wishes and prayers.

Sincerely,

Presided

SSC: AN ISLAND OF PARADISE

Savannah State College, a unit of the University System of Georgia, is a four-year accredited college of arts and sciences, teacher education, business administration, and technology. A graduate program in elementary education was started during the summer quarter, 1968.

Founded in 1890, Savannah State College is located in the historic city of Savannah, the first capital of Georgia, and the second largest city of Georgia.

Savannah State College offers courses leading to the master's degree in elementary education and courses leading to the baccalaureate degree with a major in each of these areas of concentration: accounting, biology, chemistry, civil technology, dietetics and institution management, economics, elementary education, electronics technology, English, general business ad- ministration, mathematics, mechanical technology, secondary education, secretarial science, social sciences, and textiles and clothing.

A mind is not to be changed by place or time; The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.

Milton, Paradise Lost

17

Teacher education programs in the following fields have been approved by the Georgia Division of Teacher Education and Certification: elementary education, secondary education, with a concentration in business education; English, French, general science, industrial arts education, mathematics, social studies, Spanish, trade and industrial education, grades 1-12; art education, health and physical education, music education, and teacher-librarian.

Two-year programs of study are offered in Secretarial Science, and Dressmaking and Tailoring. Upon satisfactory com- pletion of these programs the student is given a certificate of proficiency.

Savannah State College has one of the most beautiful campuses in the South. The campus comprises 136 acres of match- less natural beauty. Attractive new buildings are constantly being built. Put into use recently were the John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center and A. E. Peacock Hall.

The John F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center, constructed at an approximate cost of $500,000, contains a Little Theatre, offices, classrooms, and laboratories for music, art, ceramics, and sculpture.

Peacock Hall, a dormitory for 180 male students, is a modern three-story building which contains 90 bedrooms of the studio type; a lobby, recreational areas, an apartment for the house director; barber shop, room for TV viewing, and a laundromat. This dormitory is completely air-conditioned, and was constructed at an approximate cost of $600,000.

A new stadium was put into use at the beginning of the 1968 football season.

For the Biennium of 1966-68, Savannah State College requested from the Board of Regents the following facilities: a Dining Hall-Cafeteria, a Natural Sciences Building, a Technical Home Economics Building, a Nursery School for early child- hood education; and a Student Union Building. The dining hall, student union, science building, and dormitory for 200 students have been approved at a total cost of 2.7 million dollars.

Alumni Secretary Writes . . .

The following is a copy of a speech delivered by Robert Bess, Alumni Secretary, to the North Jersey Chapter of the Savannah State College National Alumni Association, during their installa- tion ceremonies on Sunday, April 12, 1970 in Newark, Neiv Jersey. As we pause here today to pay tribute to your inaugura- tion as a new chapter of the Savannah State College Na- tional Alumni Association, I feel compelled to begin by stating that the state of the College, at present, is excellent. I say this in this way because as you can imagine in this day of open rebellion, student unrest and revolt, the demands and pressures placed on an institution of higher learning both internally and externally are almost insurmountable. From mixed faculties representing old and new points of view in regards to the whole matter of educational objectives, purposes and organizational structure, to a very aggressive new student who is no longer willing to accept a back seat in regards to relevance of subject matter — from an active and productive alumni association whose views in regards to student activities and regulations might differ radically from the views of the students involved, to a contributing community who constantly raises the question of the econ- nomic feasibility of two state supported four-year insti- tutions operating in the same community.

I'm happy to report that both because of, and in spite of the pressures from all sources Savannah State, your Alma Mater, is still a thriving, growing productive institution of higher learning, presently making greater strides than at any past period in its 80 year history. We presently boast a student population of approximately 2,500, a faculty of 115, with 30% holding the doctorate degree and an active contributing alumni Association. We have had a sixty-nine percent increase in student enrollment over the last five years, approximately 14% per year and projections indicate that this trend will continue. We are presently in the 5th year of a 10 year building program with 8 new buildings having been added to our campus within the last 6 years, with five more either presently under construction or sched- uled to be started within the next two to four months. In addition, there are others scheduled to be placed on campus within the next five years. During the late winter quarter, we witnessed the completion of sidewalks, a sewerage and drainage system, and an over hauled heating system. We are presently involved in the first organized beautification program on campus that will cause shrubbery to be placed on campus according to a landscape design.

In spite of our growth, in spite of our progress, in spite of our optimism this afternoon, or maybe even because of these, the needs of the institution are greater today than ever before. Yes, the demands for services, the demands for the best by way of total student preparation force us into continued efforts to provide quality educational programs and services for the youth we serve. As you might well expect we need additional funds. While we are a state

"assisted" institution, public funds are never sufficient to provide a truly great institution; they provide the basis but funds for the creation and maintenance of the margin of excellence must come from the private sector. We need funds for student assistance — to help capable, deserving students, who cannot afford the price of an education, defray the cost of their training. Last year through the N.D.E.A. Scholarship Matching program, Savannah State College provided $141,207 in financial aid to 392 students, $17,995 of which had to be provided by the college. While this might appear to be a large number receiving such aid, it is safe to add that less than 50% of the students needing and qualifying for assistance were able to receive it. Funds are needed for our Athletic program to assist in providing a strong team capable of competing with the very powerful opponents in the new conference, the SI AC; the state does not provide funds for athletics. Funds are needed for faculty development, for research, for a better equipped band and for general unrestricted operating expenses.

In addition to the need for funds, the college needs well qualified, capable students. We need to attract and recruit a greater percentage of students graduating from high school in the upper quartile. This kind of student can do much to enhance the image of the institution. We need Friends — individuals from all walks of life who are willing to support the institution in all respects and most especially to sing the praises of the college — to talk positively about the college and the things we do. And most importantly, we need you and other alumni like you.

Now that you understand to a degree the state of the college and now that you have a slight idea as to our needs, I feel the urge to take one additional minute to challenge you to the realization of the responsibilities that you under- take as a new chapter. But first let me congratulate you and thank you for becoming an organized group of con- scientious supporters. I'm encouraged today by many of the things that I see happening in the Alumni Association — the dawn of a new spirit — the awakening of a new conscious. In February we installed a new chapter and were very im- pressed with their progress. Two nights later I met with a new group in Detroit who wanted to know just what do we have to do in order to become an organized affiliate. They held their organizational meeting two weeks later and I expect to present their charter in the very near future. Last week I met with a new group in Miami, they held their organizational meeting on Friday night, and here today we're with you.

It is then in this spirit of optimism that I charge you as a new chapter with the responsibility of working co- operatively together in the true spirit of Savannah State College, remembering and maintaining at all times the lofty ideals of your Alma Mater — I charge you with the respon- sibility of putting aside individual wishes when they do not coincide with those of the majority, I charge you with the responsibility of maintaining an abiding faith in and love for Savannah State College and the National Associa- tion, and finally I charge you with the responsibility of selection and recruitment of the worthy sons and daughters of North Jersey and for supporting your Alma Mater and National Association both morally and financially.

Throughout this discourse, I have continuously alluded to my habitual stance of optimism and positive movement, may I conclude on the same note. Without doubt this philosophy has been influenced by the thinking of Oliver Wendell Holmes who is given credit for the following state- ment: "I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving." For Savannah State College and the alumni association there must be only one direction— Forward !

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION REACTIVATED

The Savannah State College Athletic Association, inac- tive since its founding in 1964, was reactivated during a recent meeting of the Board of Directors. According to Mr. John McGlockton, President, the Association was reactivated to assist the athletic program at Savannah State College to become competitive in the new SIAC Conference.

The Athletic Association was granted a Charter in Janu- ary 1964. One of the major purposes of the association as stated in the Charter is "to provide facilities of every kind for the conduct of athletic activities, games, exhibitions and contests by and for the benefit of Savannah State College."

At the initial meeting the group decided that member- ship dues would be set at $50 for all members. All Alumni Century members would automatically be considered mem- bers of the Athletic Association because of their contribu- tion to the Century Club ($100 or more) . Mr. McGlockton stated that membership in the Association is open to any of the general public who are interested in promoting the athletic program at Savannah State College.

According to Mr. McGlockton, goals of the Association are: securing one hundred new members, lights for the foot- ball stadium, completing the east side of the stadium, and providing at least $5,000 in funds for athletic scholarships for the 1970-71 school year.

Persons interested in additional information should con- tact Mr. John McGlockton, President (234-6807) ; Dr. Prince Jackson, Secretary (354-5717, Ext. 332), or Mr. Robert Bess, Development Officer (354-7865) .

The Graduate Program at Savannah State College

I feel that the graduate program at Savannah State Col- lege is doing an excellent job in preparing master teachers for the jobs we are now engaged in. We are living in a changing society, and this program is an incentive in helping us to cope with these changes.

I have been benefited by this new program at Savannah State and if there are any inconsistencies, I am sure they will vanish as the program grows. I am hoping that this will eventually become a graduate school in all areas.

— Edith S. Brown

Physical Changes at SSC

Savannah State College is at present undergoing a few physical changes: foremost of these is the construction of a dorm for 200 female students, eleven faculty homes, and a proposed natural science building.

The new dorm is being constructed adjacent to Lester, Camilla Hubert and Lockett Halls. The dorm is being built by the Walter Strong Company of Savannah. It will be five stories high, and costs $925,000.

The $1.1 million science building, which will include a low-radiation nuclear laboratory, will be located in the vicinity of the Kennedy Fine Arts Building and the stadium on the north side of the present campus access road, and will be constructed by the Reeves E. Worrell Company of Savannah. The two-story structure will be of yellow brick exterior similar in style to the Kennedy Fine Arts Building.

The low-radiation laboratory will be on the second and will have a special safety wall and an enclosed section to be used as a Geiger scale counting room. An additional 10 laboratories on that floor will include bio-chemistry, chro- matography, instrument and dark room, and other special laboratories for chemistry and physics. Only one lecture room is to be placed on the second floor.

The first floor will house the biology department with seven larger laboratories, a small laboratory for distilling, sterilization and incubation, an electron microscopy labora- tory, a laboratory with constant temperature, live animal range and a special men's room adjacent to it, six instruc- tors' offices with private laboratories adjoining.

A colorful decorative tile frontispiece will be placed over the doorway on the north, or access road side. The south side of the building also will have frontal appearance be- cause in plans for future campus development a proposed campus perimeter roadway will skirt the site on the south. A mall is proposed with additional buildings to be con- structed in llie area where the present access road is located.

In addition to these buildings, a warehouse maintenance building, and eleven faculty homes will be constructed east of the football field. The College is now in the initial stages of planning for a new library.

All of these improvements and accomplishments are in- deed a tribute to the president of our fine institution, Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr.

SSC Initiates Degree In Criminal Justice

Savannah State College has been approved to offer a program in Criminal Justice. This is one of the few 4-year programs in the country and it leads to the Bachelor's Degree upon completion. It is open to all persons who are engaged in a field of activity related to law enforcement on either a full or part-time basis.

To encourage prospective enrollees to enter the program, a limited number of loans and grants are available. Inter- ested persons should contact R. Wilbur Campbell, Director of Admissions and Financial Aids Officer, Savannah State College.

Alumni Enjoy Gala Weekend

Approximately two thousand alumni joined students, parents and friends of Savannah State College during the Alumni Homecoming weekend on October 25, 1969. Many alumni and friends lived at the Manger Hotel in downtown Savannah during their stay here for the weekend activities. Those participating began the weekend with the Annual National Alumni meeting held in the A.V. Center of Gordon Library on Friday night. The meeting was followed by alumni and friends returning to the Manger Hotel for hos- pitality sponsored by the National Association. Saturday began with Savannah State College's parade at eleven o'clock a.m., followed by the game between the SSC Tigers and the Clark College Panthers (the Tigers won by a score of 32-16) . At six p.m. the banquet began with several awards being given for sustained service to the Association during the sixties and the awarding of certificates to the Century Club members. The banquet was followed by the annual dance during which several people won prizes; the first prize, a 1970 Rambler-Hornet, was won by Mrs. Eliza- beth Hall, Savannah; second prize, a portable color TV, won by Robert Mullen of Chicago, 111.; and third prize, a transistor radio, won by Asay A. Eaddy, also of Chicago.

The homecoming weekend this year proved to be a suc- cess in every way. Mr. James Thomas, '56, of Washington, D. C, seemed to have expressed the sentiments of all alumni when he said, "this was without doubt the best homecoming I have witnessed since I left Savannah State."

SSC students board the train to begin journey to Africa as a part of the African Seminar program at the college.

Exchange Courses Taught

Dr. Calvin L. Kiah and Dr. Dean Propst, the Deans of Faculty at Savannah State College and Armstrong State Col- lege, announced that the two respective Callaway professors will conduct the initial courses between Savannah State College and Armstrong State College.

The Callaway professors are Dr. Joseph Killorin, Pro- fessor of Literature and Philosophy at Armstrong State College, and Dr. James Kelsaw, Professor of Sociology at Savannah State College. The courses to be exchanged are: Natural Right: History of an Idea — Plato to Martin Luther King, to be conducted by Dr. Killorin at Savannah State College, and Perspectives on Black Experience in the United States, which will be offered at Armstrong State College and taught by Dr. Kelsaw.

Dr. Densler Named Alumnus of Month

Dr. James F. Densler, '54, an Atlanta practicing physician, has been designated "Alumnus of the Month" for January by the Atlanta Chapter of the Savannah State College Alumni Association.

Dr. Prince Jackson, National Secretary Savannah State College Alumni Association Savannah State College Savannah, Georgia

Dear Dr. Jackson:

I have been in contact with Joseph Bristow, San Bernardino, California, and J. Franklin Wells, Miami, and we would like to con- tact all the Charter members of Gamma Chi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. This Chapter was set up in 1950 and it is our think- ing that it would be appropriate to get together for a twenty year reunion.

I have written Julius Williams, Polemarch of the Savannah Chapter, but fust in case he may not react immediately, I am asking for whatever help you may be able to offer.

I am listing the names of the members other than those listed above: Randolph Dennis, Billie A. Johnson, Henry Lockhart, Russell R. Mole, William P. McLemore, Oliver Murray, Leon Schmidt, Wal- ter Strickland, Solomon Bynes, Emerson Walker.

I believe this is the complete roster; however, there may be others. If possible, one of the undergraduate members of the Chapter there may examine the Charter for additional names.

We are aware of the limited time to get things arranged, but we trust that we can reach as many as possible. Probably we could arrange the date during the week of Commencement Activities.

I trust that they have not been as negligent as I have about the Alumni Association and have remained active. There are some twenty alumni living here in this area. Each time we mention the Associa- tion they are all interested but when you call a meeting no one will show up, nor ivill they respond to notices or communication.

Looking forward to hearing from you, I remain

Respectjully yours,

Outstanding Teacher

James Presents Paper

Christopher James

Christopher James, son of Mrs. Lizzie James of Wood- bine, Ga., and a protein chemist at the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Northern Regional Research Laboratory, Peoria, 111., presented a paper before the national meeting of the American Association of Cereal Chemists in Chicago, 111. Mr. James, who appeared on the program Thursday morning, May 1, described the research work that he and his associates had done in studying some of the chemical changes that occur in proteins during the processing of corn to manufacture starch. To loosen this starch from the protein, the corn kernel is soaked in a sulfur dioxide solution. Mr. James determined the nature of the chemical changes that occur in the protein that cause it to be dissolved by the sulfur dioxide. He found that sulfur dioxide attacks the protein called glutelin.

This work is of special interest since in a new type of corn-high-lysine corn-glutelin is present in larger amounts than in ordinary corn. The new corn that is high in lysine — an essential amino acid — is an important development be- cause it contains more nutritious protein. This research on the chemical evaluation of cereal grains is part of the pro- gram being conducted at the Northern Laboratory to in- crease the use of corn.

Mr. James is a graduate of Ralph Johnson Bunche High School in Woodbine. He received his B.S. degree in chem- istry from Savannah State College, Savannah, Ga., in 1964. After two years of service in the U. S. Army, he joined the staff of the Northern Laboratory in 1966.

BLACK DEAN PLOWS TOUGH ROW

Assistant Dean Leonard

Reprint, Harvard Law Record By Oliver Henry

From ploughman on a tenant farm to Assistant Dean of Harvard Law School — a long road — but one travelled by Walter Leonard.

Born during the depression in Alma, Bacon County, Georgia, Dean Leonard was fatherless by the time he was two years old, a fact which might account for him quitting high school in his sophomore year to join the Coast Guard. And while in the Guard, Leonard spent nearly four years as a messmate on a cutter patroling the North Atlantic.

After leaving the Coast Guard, Leonard enrolled in Savannah State College where he became involved in the kind of activities and committments to which good students and campus leaders fall heir: president of the college chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, student reporter for the local newspaper, and a fraternity. But Savannah proved perhaps a little too small for the young man from Bacon County, so he left.

Dean Leonard completed his undergraduate education at Morehouse College and continued his studies at Atlanta University. While in Atlanta, he was involved in the life of that southern metropolitan city. In the premier city of Henry Gray's "New South," Leonard established the Leonard Land Company, a real estate venture which handled $200,000 in business during its first full year of operation. This prowess in business earned for him a feature length article in the Wall Street Journal, the first Negro so noted by that "establishment" organ.

In 1965 Dean Leonard relinquished his Atlanta life and moved to Washington, D. C, where he entered Howard University Law School, commencing a new phase in a life which had begun on a Georgia tenant farm.

While a student at Howard, Leonard made The Howard Law Journal, was the first National Chairman of the Student Forum on International Order and World Peace, and served as a research assistant to then dean Clarence Clyde Ferguson, who, according to Leonard, "represents a sort of hero of mine." And upon his graduation in 1968, this relationship resulted in the dean offering to him the position of Assistant Dean of the Law School, a new post.

Leonard did make a contribution at Howard, for while assistant dean, he established an annual alumni giving pro- gram. Another project initiated at Howard was an alumni publication, The Howard Lawyer. Until the establishment

of this sheet, "the school only had the Howard Law Journal and the student newspaper, The Barrister. The Lawyer aided us in the development program and gave the alumni some means of communication to and about the school."

Work with development and alumni affairs were not the only areas of concern to Leonard while at Howard. "I attempted to involve myself in student affairs. It all goes back to how I see a university: it is a community made up of two kinds of people — senior scholars and junior scholars. The senior scholars are the faculty members because of age and experience while because of their searching and in- quisitive minds the students represent the junior scholars. In this community each group in search of knowledge must work with the other because both have something to offer."

When Howard Law School was racked by a student strike, this view of the university fortified Leonard. "I didn't find that I was not with it because I had opened a dialogue with the students. They had been made to feel that they were important, had something to contribute. I felt as though I had been successful in this," he said.

With all of this success, one wonders why he chose to leave the mecca of the Negro legal profession for the pre- dominantly white climes of Cambridge? For while at Howard, not only was he a ranking administrator, but he taught classes in Land Finance, Mortgages, and Real Estate. Seemingly, Leonard combined administration with teaching, a sometimes unusual ability. Only when confronted with this question does the short, cautious man in the conserva- tive gray Herringbone appear hesitant.

So, the man who has travelled a long road resolved a dilemma that increasingly confronts talented Negroes: whether to remain within institutions in the larger society, perhaps, as important in the long run.

Being the first Negro anything involves a certain amount of ambiguity, but Leonard is quite comfortable in being first. Before coming to the Law School, he was the first Negro appointed to the summer session faculty of the Uni- versity of Virginia Law School. And he is one of a very few Negroes involved in the mutual fund industry serving as a director of Investment Opportunities Fund, Inc., a no-load fund with a 50 million dollar capital authorization.

With this background, Dean Leonard feels that he can be of service to "the present number of black students at Harvard and to the increasing numbers certain to come." He feels strongly that he "can share with students an ex- perience and observation in the business world and relate that to their legal education." Leonard makes it quite clear that he "won't be a spokesman for black students because his responsibilities at the Law School — as director of the first year financial aid program and assistant director of admissions with responsibility for all recruiting, not just blacks, involve all students."

Still he has some concern for Law School Negro students. "I am very impressed with the students here, especially the black students. These students have a right to demand someone on the administrative staff with whom they can relate on the basis of life style, color and, hopefully, com- mitment."

In some respects, the Law School's new dean is the stereotype of the successful man on the move, one who just keeps "trying to do an effective job on the goals" he sets for himself. But, in any case, Dean Leonard exemplifies a variation on that theme, for being a Negro, the trek from Bacon County to Chestnut Hill was somewhat more difficult, a bit more arduous than, perhaps, it had to be. But to all students, Dean Leonard says, "I'm here."

Graduate Program of SSC

Growth of the Graduate Studies Program

The purpose of the Graduate Studies program is to offer advanced preparation to those teachers who serve in elementary schools.

In June, 1968, fifty persons were admitted in the initial group of graduate aspirants. Much was done by the committee in charge of admissions to see that the students selected were able to do graduate work.

The fifty students selected were composed of seven men and 43 women.

All of the courses were new. However, the students were very energetic in carrying out assignments. From the start of the program, it could be seen that these were in- dividuals quite capable of doing graduate work.

From time to time, during the first quarter, the students were given the opportunity to evaluate both the courses and teachers. Many helpful suggestions were received.

At the end of the first quarter, there were many sur- vivors. Thus, the program was well on its way.

During the fall quarter of 1968, 13 additional students were admitted. These students were seven women and six men. It can be readily seen that the percentage of men had increased tremendously.

During this quarter three courses were offered. These courses seemed quite enough for the number of students enrolled.

The winter admissions for the year 1968-69 were fewer than for any other quarter. Three were men while nine were women.

For this quarter two courses were offered. One was held on Saturdays and the other during the evenings.

Admissions to begin study during the spring quarter reached a total of 17. This was an increase over both the fall and winter quarters. As usual, there were more women than men. There were 14 women and three men.

During this quarter, three courses were offered. One was scheduled on Saturdays and the other two were scheduled during the evenings.

After just one year, the program had grown from 50 to 92 persons. It is interesting to note that the students who entered during the first year completed their undergraduate work at 21 different colleges and universities. However, the majority of these students were graduates of Savannah State College.

The number of persons enrolled in the program indicated two things. First, there was a need for such a program. Second, enough interest was shown for the continuation of such a program.

The program continued to mushroom during the summer quarter. A total of 81 new students were admitted. This brought the total number of students admitted since June, 1968 to 173.

The persons admitted during the summer of 1969 repre- sented 17 different schools. Savannah State College was included in this number.

The three quarters of the school year 1969-70 showed a gradual increase in the number of students admitted to the program.

It is interesting to note here, that "during the winter quarter of the 1968-69 school year, two graduate courses were offered. Just one year later, the winter quarter of 1969-70, five graduate courses were offered. One class had an enrollment of over forty persons. The other classes had an average of 18 persons.

During the spring of 1970, the program had grown well over 200 persons. The interesting point is persons are constantly applying to the program.

From the program's beginning two years ago, it has operated on a part-time basis. Because initially the program was set up to serve in-service people, evening classes were scheduled during the fall, winter, and spring quarters. A regular program was followed only during the summer quarters.

After two years, the program can be acclaimed a great success.

Dynamic leadership has been provided by the Director of the program, Dr. James A. Eaton, as well as the Chair- man of the Division of Education, Dr. Thelma M. Harmond.

Bill Russell Wows SSC Audience

Dr. Jordan Receives Award

The 1970 Liberty Bell Award was presented jointly to the Presidents of Savannah State College and Armstrong State College at the Law Day Ceremonies in Johnson Square on May 1.

The award was made by the Savannah Bar Association to honor those members of the non-legal community who contribute to the community's understanding of the work- ings of the law.

In this citation to our distinguished president, Dr. Jor- dan, the Savannah Bar Association commended his guidance and direction to follow that course of redress provided by the laws of this land.

It further cited Dr. Jordan's administration for the proper relationship between the individual rights of those whom he represents and the rights of the people at large.

Following the Law Day theme, "Law — Bridge to Jus- tice," the citation said that the law is the bridge leading to the promised land we all seek: Liberty, Freedom, Justice For All.

The citation to the President of Armstrong State College, Dr. Henry Ashmore, is identical.

Russell Beseiged by Admirers.

Bill Russell

In a very informal and relaxed manner, Bill Russell, ex-player coach of the Boston Celtics, wowed a Savannah State College audience of over 4,000 by his address during the First Annual Co-Ed Festival observance.

There wasn't an inattentive ear as Russell expounded on several major political, social and economic problems, which Americans, "the now generation," face today.

In the vernacular of the "now generation" Russell stated that he was "embarking on a journey to find out about the hip generation. In other words, I'm in search of America." Russell stated that he believed that this generation was turned in on people and not things. "If you're not part of the solution, then you're a part of the problem."

Russell touched on the ever-growing narcotics problem, when he said that "I do not advocate smoking weeds or grass." However, he felt that not enough was being done to adequately alleviate the problem. He felt that the same way he came into Savannah on Thursday evening, without ever having been in the city before, and could have been turned on by some pusher, so could the police find and ascertain the same information.

Russell stated that "I have tried marijuana before, and I got high, and although I'm not saying whether this grass is good or bad, but the same person who sells you marijuana would sell heroin to an eight-year-old kid, because that per- son has no concern for people."

In a very amusing manner Russell attacked the Viet Nam war as being "alright except that it was immoral, illegal, unfounded and underclassed."

Russell's amusing formula for ending the draft was to set up three qualifications, which were that the draftee must be 40 years of age or older, make a salary of 15,000 dollars or more a year, and be elected to or holding political office, the latter of which were to be classified as lA Top Priority. Russell stated that "the best way to fight communism was not by war but by practicing the Constitution."

His views on the desegregation of schools was that "The nation does not do what it can, but what it wants to do. It took us only 9 years to put two men on the moon, but 15 years filled with Supreme Court decisions and we can't get a child across town to attend a desegregated school."

Russell gave his reason for leaving the profession of basketball as "The game was beginning to become one played for mercenary reasons and not professional." He stated that when asked if he was a basketball player, his answer was "No, I'm a man that plays basketball."
