Why Alumni Should Give

To Savannah State College

1. You can provide the opportunity for a better

life through education for deserving youth:

scholarships, loans, campus jobs, etc. One

dollar can bring in nine additional dollars for

student aid.

2. Your gift will be proof of a strong loyal, con-

tributing alumni group. Foundations, busi-

nesses, organizations, and individuals who are

interested in giving to Savannah State College

will be influenced by the extent of alumni

support.

3. Your contributions will enable Savannah State

College to match available federal funds for

research, for community service, and for train-

ing the deprived.

4. Savannah State College continues to be the

College in the state which educates the largest

number of Negro youth. Yet, a substantial per-

cent of Negro high school graduates do not en-

roll in any college. Your gift will cause the

open hand of welcome to continue to extend

from Savannah State College to the high school

graduate who might not otherwise enter college.

5. Now is the time to build the foundation for a

solid alumni annual fund. What you assist in

starting will become a fund with an impact.

6. Your gift may influence another alumnus whootherwise would not contribute.

7. When you were a student at Savannah State

College, you, your parents, and others invested

in you. That investment is there yet. You have

received regular dividends. Increase your in-

vestment. Better educational opportunities for

others will add to your dividends.

8. As a person with a college education, you should

support education. // you dont believe in Sa-

vannah State College, who will?

9. Why should you give to Savannah State College?

BECAUSE YOU CAN AFFORD TO DO IT!

You probably have never had a higher income

than you have now. AFFLUENT PEOPLEGIVE! ! !

President of Morehouse College Speaks at SSCDr. Hugh M. Gloster, president of Morehouse College,

Atlanta, Georgia, was the annual Honors Convocation speak-

er at Savannah State College on Friday, January 24, at 10:20

Dr. Gloster began his higher education at LeMoyne Col-

lege, where he received a junior college diploma and in 1967

was elected Alumnus of the Year. Next he attended More-

house College, where he received the B.A. degree in English,

and Atlanta University, where he received the M.A. degree

in the same field. Later, he entered New York University,

where he received the Ph.D. degree in English.

The early years of Dr. Gloster's teaching career closely

followed the path of his higher education. He taught first at

LeMoyne College and then at Morehouse College. While a

member of the Morehouse faculty, he offered graduate

courses at Atlanta University during the regular and sum-

mer terms. During the summer of 1949, he was Guest

Professor of American Literature at Washington SquareCollege of New York University, and during the summerof 1962, he held the same position in the Graduate School

of Arts and Sciences at that institution.

During World War II, Dr. Gloster was a professional

staff member with USO. After a year as a USO ProgramDirector at Fort Hauchuca, Arizona, he served two years

as a USO Associate Regional Executive with headquarters

in Atlanta. While in this office, he conducted a course in

USO Policy and Practice at the Atlanta University School

of Social Work.

From 1946-67, Dr. Gloster was Professor of English

and Chairman of the Communications Center at HamptonInstitute. Under his leadership the Communications Center

became one of the country's outstanding college language

departments. From 1952-62, he was also Director of the

Summer Session at Hampton Institute. In this position, he

originated Hampton's pioneering pre-college program in

1952, promoted the redevelopment of the graduate program,

and established summer institutes for in-service teachers.

Dr. Gloster was Dean of Faculty at Hampton Institute from1963-67. In this capacity, he gave leadership in the up-

grading of the academic program and in the launching of

special educational projects supported by foundation and

The college has received 100 shares of stock from the

Donner Packing Company for the purpose of setting upthe Paul Donner Scholarship Fund, the proceeds from whichwill be used for the Scholarship Program.

SSC To Launch Its First Annual Community Support ProgramDr. Howard Jordan, Jr., announces that the College

will launch its First Annual Community Support Programon Monday, April 21. The program will end on May 3.

Through this organized effort of solicitation, the College

hopes to receive the financial and moral support of the

entire community. Instead of being asked several times a

year to donate funds to more than one program at the

College, the community will be asked for financial support

once a year during the Community Support Program.According to Dr. Jordan, the purpose of this two-week

campaign is to raise $75,000 for the initiation of two newprograms, and to supplement existing ones.

The Student Assistance Program will provide scholar-

ships, loans, and employment for worthy students whocould not otherwise obtain the finances they need for a

college education. This money will be matched by federal

funds in the ratio of 8:1 or 9:1 depending on the programin which it is used.

Last year, Savannah State College provided 302 studentswith 8141,207 in financial aid, $17,995 of which was con-tributed by the College. If the desired amount of money for

student assistance is received, the College will be able to

provide assistance to approximately 500 students duringthe next academic year.

The Faculty Development Program will provide somefinancial assistance to aid more faculty members in acquir-ing the doctoral degree. In addition, this program will

provide the funds for in-service faculty members to attendspecial institutes and certain financial supplements forcritical area faculty members.

The Enrichment in Study Skills Program will provide"seed money" to study problems encountered in the fresh-men program. With these funds, a study will be made ofexisting programs in other institutions and a program will

be designed for the needs of Savannah State College.

National Science Foundation Awards Grant to SSCSavannah State College was awarded a grant of 338,910

by the National Science Foundation for support of a "1969Summer Institute in Chemistry for Secondary SchoolTeachers." This grant is under the direction of Dr. Willie

G. Tucker, Department of Chemistry, and will terminate onSeptember 30, 1969.

The National Science Foundation was established in

1950 as an agency of the Federal Government by an act of

the Congress. Annual appropriations made by Congressenable the Foundation to carry out its responsibilities to

strengthen research and education in science and mathe-

matics. This project is one of more than 1,000 institutes

and research participation projects supported annually by

the Foundation for the purpose of improving the subject-

matter competence of teachers of science and mathematics

at all academic levels.

The objectives of the institute are: to offer teachers with

a very weak background in chemistry an opportunity to

increase their knowledge of the subject matter; to help fill

out a void in the teachers' background in subject matterso that they may be motivated enough to eventually beginan advanced degree program in chemistry rather than or in

addition to graduate study in the traditional educationcourses; to increase the teacher's capacity to motivatestudents into science careers; and to create in the teacher

a greater awareness of an appreciation for the work of

prominent scientists. This will also serve as a means of

stimulation and enthusiasm.

Each participant will be selected on the basis of ability

to show a particular need for the courses offered in orderto fill a deficient background, and thus improve his quality

of teaching. The deadline for making application is Feb-

ruary 15.

A participant must be presently teaching chemistry or

general science at the time of application. Most consideration

will be given to those applicants who have never participated

in a National Science Foundation sponsored Summer Insti-

tute.

Dr. Willie G. Tucker, Professor of Chemistry, will direct

the institute. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees fromTuskegee Institute in 1956 and 1958, respectively. Hisresearch for the master's degree was concerned with a study

of exchange reactions in the preparation of flourothiethers.

Dr. Tucker received his Ph.D. from the University of

Oklahoma in July 1962. His research was concerned with

the preparation of 2-chloropyridine. Dr. Tucker served

four years as a Teaching and Research Assistant in the

Department of Chemistry at the University of Oklahoma.He earned a certificate for completing the Radiological

Monitoring Instructors Course offered by the University of

Georgia Extension Division. He was main lecturer for anIn-Service Institute for High School Teachers of Science1963-64, and for the NSF Summer Institute for High SchoolStudents, summer 1964. He is a member of the Society of

Sigma \i. the American Chemical Society, and the AmericanAssociation for the Advancement of Science, and is listed in

American Men of Science.

Dr. Charles Pratt, Professor of Chemistry and Head of

the Department, will serve as an instructor for the institute.

He received his B.S. from Langston University in 1951,and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of

Oklahoma in 1958 and 1962, respectively. During the

summer of 1965, Dr. Pratt was employed by the Savannah

River Plant of Atomic Energy Commission as a ResearchChemist. His teaching experience numbers five years in

high school in science and mathematics, plus four yearsof college teaching. He attended a NSF Institute for HighSchool Teachers at the University of Oklahoma in 1957, andserved as Associate Director for an Institute for HighAbility School Students at Prairie View A. & M. Collegein 1961. He also has publications in Science Education,Pharmaceuticals (Local Anethetics) and Flavonoid Com-pounds.

J. B. Clemmons, Associate Professor of Mathematics andChairman of the Department of Mathematics and Physics,will also serve as an instructor for the institute. He receivedhis B.S. degree from Morehouse College; and his M.S.degree from Atlanta University. He studied three years atthe University of Southern California. Mr. Clemmons hascompleted residence work for the Ph.D. degree in mathe-matics and his current research interests are concerned withthe Theory of Probabilities. From 1941 through 1945, heserved as high school principal, and joined the staff at

Savannah State College in 1947. He has studied under thefollowing fellowships: (1) Ford Foundation Faculty Fellow-ship 1952-53; (2) National Science Faculty Fellowship 1957-

58; (3) University of Southern California Teaching Fellow-ship 1954-55. Mr. Clemmons taught regular mathematicscourses at the University of Southern California as a Teach-ing Assistant, 1953-54. He served as official mathematicstutor for the University of Southern California's football

team. He is a member of the State Advisory Committee onMathematics and Evaluating Committee for Colleges in the

State of Georgia.

Savannah State College has received a grant totaling

$2,000 to support a two week Journalism Workshop for

high school teachers of journalism. This grant was approvedby the Newspaper Fund of the Wall Street Journal. Theworkshop will be held at the college from July 21 to

August 1.

The purposes of the workshop are to create opportunities

for professional and evaluative guidance; to aid the partici-

pant in acquiring college training which will be of help in

improving scholastic newspapers and curriculum offerings;

to aid the participant in developing an increased awarenessof and respect for the social aspects and dynamic influences

of journalism in a democratic society; to create opportuni-

ties for the participant to acquire practical experience in

school newspaper and yearbook production; and to increase

the major forms of scholastic news writing.

Further the program promises to increase the partici-

pant's knowledge of the principles basic to high school

journalism; to develop an understanding of managementand labor and its relationship to the economy; to develop

the social skills basic to getting along with others; to develop

an appreciation for the printed word and its influence on

the reader; and to enhance the communicative skills.

Any high school, vocational or junior college teacher in

the South, whose duties include being an advisor to a

scholastic newspaper, yearbook, or whose teaching programincludes a course in journalism, is eligible for the workshop.

The applicant's previous training and experience in

scholastic journalism will not affect eligibility. The work-

shop is designed to help teachers with scholastic publica-

tions assignments acquire journalistic training and ex-

perience.

Each participant will receive five college credit hours for

participating in the workshop.

Mrs. Robinson Receives Ph.D. Degree

Mrs. Margaret Chisholm Robinson, Assistant Professor

of Biology, received the Ph.D. degree from Washington

University last month.

A native of Savannah, Georgia, she received the B.S.

degree from Savannah State College, and the M.S. degree

from the University of Michigan. In addition, she attended

a NSF Institute of College Teachers of Botany at Washing-

ton University.

Dr. Robinson's leaching experiences include: a teacher

of biology at Jefferson County Training School, Louisville,

Georgia from 1952-54; an instructor of biology at Fort

Valley State College from 1955-58; and she began teaching

at Savannah Stale College in 1958.

She graduated magna cum laude from Savannah State

College; is a charter member of Mu Chapter, Alpha Kappa

Mu Honor Society; and a member of Sigma Mu Honor

Society.

In a recent interview with Dr. Robinson, it was learned

that she has performed over 150 experiments within the

past year in the area of botanical science. Some of the

species and the microscope used were donated to Savannah

State College by Washington University.

When Savannah State College gave Dr. Robinson a

year's leave to improve her knowledge of botany, it got

more than it bargained for. Her academic work at Wash-

ington University brought her

$4,500 in scientific equipment

in which she is held.

The equipment includes a centrifuge, a spectrophoto-

meter, microscopes, chromatographer apparatus, ultraviolet

lamp, pH meter and time clock with switch.

Dr. Robinson feels that, "Now we are going to be in the

position to give students a well-rounded background and

some knowledge of plant life as well as of animal life."

She composes the entire botany department at Savannah

State College, but states that, "I'm looking forward to

attracting more faculty now that we have this new equip-

ment. 1 know that one of the things I would ask if I were

invited to join a college faculty is, "Could I do research?"

Now we can say "yes" because we will have the facilities

for it.

State Board Approves Revised School StandardsThe State Board of Education at its February meeting

approved the withholding of funds from any school unit

failing to fully satisfy certain criteria in the revised School

Standards, and approved the construction of a two billion

dollar vocational facility in Lowndes County.

The revised school Standards will be divided into three

sections. Section I is to contain all criteria based on require-

ments of law, Section II, all criteria based on firm Boardpolicy and Section III, all other criteria contained in the

Standards as approved by the State Board. The Boardapproved the withholding of funds from school units failing

to fully satisfy the criteria in Sections I and II until

necessary corrections are made.

The Board also made industrial arts a required part of

the secondary school curriculum and placed it in Section III

in the revised Standards.

The authority for withholding state funds comes to theState Board under a Section of the Minimum FoundationProgram of Education Act. This section states in part:

"In the event a local unit of administration shall fail to

This facility will also be used to serve out-of-schoolyouth and adults for preparation for higher level job skills.

In their meeting the State Board also passed a resolu-tion to the Georgia congressional delegation on Discrepancybetween Congressional authorizations for Vocational Edu-cation for fiscal year 1970 and the Federal Budget Appro-priations for Vocational Education for fiscal year 1970.They pointed out that the proposed Federal Budget appro-priates less money for Vocational Education than wasauthorized by Congress for fiscal year 1970.

Beneficial to Employers and Students

Six thousand leaders of business and industry are being

invited to participate in 1969 TECHDAYS, Georgia's state-

wide program for vocational-technical students, advises

Jack P. Nix, State Superintendent of Schools. Because of

its previous success, this year there will be two TECHDAYS

projects at Georgia's area vocational-technical schools: one

beginning April 16 and a second starting July 23.

TECHDAYS is a project to bring together area voca-

tional-technical students with potential employers. Before

development of TECHDAYS, Georgia industry often had

the problem of surplus job openings for which students

had been trained, but many graduates were unaware of

these available positions. TECHDAYS allows management

to interview potential employees in the setting in which they

are trained.

TECHDAYS has doubled in effectiveness during the two

years the project has been held, according to George W.

Mulling. Director, Vocational Education Division. In 1967

362 companies participated in the venture, compared to 643

businesses during 1968. In 1967 954 jobs were offered;

in 1968 1.978 openings were made available to the students.

Last year the Georgia Chamber of Commerce lent its

support to TECHDAYS with a statewide letter to employers

and local co-operation with individual schools. This year it

is lending the same kind of support.

Students who were placed by this Department of Edu-

cation service have praised past TECHDAYS for the

following reasons: there was a wide variety of companies

represented; students could talk to management about

available jobs and their benefits; the potential employer

could discover the type of instruction that was being offered

and under what conditions; il was possible to experience

a job interview in familiar classroom surroundings; and

concern was displayed by management towards the indi-

vidual student as an employee.

One employer advised Director Mulling that he has

retained five of the six TECHDAYS students he recruited

a year ago, and that he felt the students proved to be well

qualified when they finished the area school.

Skills taught in area schools include a multitude of

crafts from aviation mechanics and electronic technology

to cosmetology and medical laboratory research.

Georgia's area vocational-technical schools usually are

designated by the name of the community in which they are

established. The schools are located in Albany. Athens,

Atlanta, Augusta. Columbus, Coosa Valley. DeKalb, Griffin-

Spalding, Lanier, North Georgia (Clarkesville) , MaconMarietta-Cobb, Moultrie, Pickens County, Savannah, South

Georgia (Americus), Swainsboro, Thomas, Troup County,

Upson County, Valdosta, Walker County and Waycross-

Ware.

Presently, the construction oj a new student center and

jood service building is underway at the college.

The building will feature a dining room equipped to

handle 1,200 students and will house all student activities.

A bookstore, snack bar, lounges, game and meeting

rooms and administrative offices will be included in the

student center.

ATinouncing The National

Alumni Century ClubThe doors of opportunity are opening and many gradu-

ates of Savannah State College are entering.

You are invited to help in opening these doors even

more, by becoming a charter member of the Savannah State

'College National Alumni Century Club. Your support will

HypertensionHypertension, or high blood pressure, is the commonest

of the diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels. Sta-

tistics from the most recent national health survey indicate

that hypertension afflicts at least 17 million Americanadults and perhaps as many as 22 million.

Hypertension accelerates the development of the artery-

clogging deposits of atherosclerosis. It substantially increases

the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Almost all cases of hypertension, whether mild or very

severe, can be controlled by any of a variety of effective

drugs or combination of drugs for reducing elevated blood

pressure.

The death rate from hypertension has decreased bynearly 50'/< during the past decade.

Currently the National Heart Institute of the National

Institutes of Health is supporting more than 200 research

projects totalling more than S7 million dealing directly or

indirectly with improving methods of prevention, diagnosis

and treatment of hypertension.

These and other facts about hypertension are contained

in a publication recently issued by the National HeartInstitute. Entitled "Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)",

NIH Publication No. 1714, this booklet describes howblood pressure is measured ; how it is controlled ; whathypertension is; the causes and diagnosis of hypertension;

the drug treatment of hypertension and the effects of this

treatment; and what research is being done to find the cure

for hypertension. This 48-page, fully-illustrated publication

also contains a glossary of terms.

Copies of "Hypertension {High Blood Pressure)" (NIHPublication No. 1714) may be obtained, free of charge, bywriting to the Heart Information Center, National HeartInstitute, Bethesda, Maryland 20014.

Technology Is The KeyTechnology is the key to achieving relevancy in the

schools. This is the point of view in the current issue of

Theory Into Practice on "Technology."

Guest Editor Wayne K. Howell, vice president of the

Fund for Media Research, stresses that technology in

itself will not solve education's problems if everything else

remains static. "Newer technologies cannot be effective

additives to an old system; they must be tested in totally

new educational designs," he said.

In the issue the writers and editors explore the problems

brought on when innovations such as the new technologies

are haphazardly applied in an "add-on fashion to the old

pedagogy of a rigid establishment."

Dr. Pratt Selected to Serve on Task ForceDr. Charles Pratt, Head of the Chemistry Department,

was selected to serve on several task force committees of

the American Chemical Society which held its national meet-

ing in San Francisco, recently.

Dr. Pratt will serve on the Education in Writing Re-

search Proposals and Grants Committee which will consider

ways to assist small colleges, particularly Negro colleges,

in writing proposals for research and teaching grants. Hewill also be concerned with the Education of High School

pkv J»

Guidance Counselors Committee. This task force will con

sider a program to describe to guidance counselors, par-

ticularly in disadvantaged areas, the career opportunities

in science. It will also make plans for a program geared

to involve perhaps as many as 500 underprivileged students.

Dr. Pratt received his B.S. degree from Langston Uni-

versity, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University

of Oklahoma. His teaching experience numbers five years

in high school mathematics and science; plus four years

of college teaching. He attended a NSF Institute for High

School Teachers at the University of Oklahoma in 1957,

and served as Associate Professor for an Institute for High

Ability Students at Prairie View A & M College in 1961.

He also has publications in Science Education, Pharma-

ceuticals (Local Anethetics) and Flavanoid Compounds.

James E. Bess, an alumnus of the College, is presently

employed at the Boeing Atlantic Test Center, Cape Cana-

veral, Florida, as a price estimator. He is responsible for

preparing estimates in the areas of Engineering, Manufac-

turing, Material, Technology Proposals, and for the appli-

cation of appropriate Rates and Factors.

Additionally, Mr. Bess makes detailed breakdowns, de-

termines manufacturing processes to estimates, and

calculates material, labor tests, and costs to develop selling

price for spares, production design changes, and modifi-

cation of parts and assemblies. He also contacts change

board representatives and project engineers to verify or

supplement design change or modification information as

necessary to develop estimates; revises and maintains price

information in documents for departmental records; pre-

pares cost summaries, price breakdowns and justifications

as required.

On January 13 of this year, he received a Zero Defects

Award for his outstanding error-free preparation of pricing

estimates in Cost Accounting; and was selected "Employee

of the Month" for December 1968. In November of 1967,

he received a Certificate of Award from the Boeing Atlantic

Test Center in recognition of his personal contribution to

the team efforts which culminated in the highly successful

flight of the first AS-501 Apollo-Saturn Vehicle on No-

vember 9, 1967.

Tournament Win Puts Crown on Long SeasonSavannah State College, playing in its last season of

SEAC competition, and perhaps one of the most frustrating,

made it a happy ending by winning the tournament in

The Tigers started off the long season by winning twostraight games. Dissension then hit the club and a numberof key players quit. The Tigers then fell into a losing

streak of eight straight games even with Michael Jordonaveraging in double figures, and so was Walter Fulton, whograduated in December. Fulton averaged in his last 10games 15.3 rebounds and 15.2 points.

January 10th was the beginning of a new era for the

Tigers, for on this date, 6' 7" center Vincent White return-

ed. Although White made 21 and 22 points respectively

against Paine and Fort Valley, the Tigers lost. After the

players got adjusted to each other, the Tigers were winnersfrom then on. With White in the lineup, senior guard Carl

Crump's point production greatly improved and so did the

teams' fast breaks.

Crump, in the remaining games, did not make less than

16 points in one game and against Voorhees, Benedict andFlorida Memorial he made 40, 43 and 43 respectively in

Tiger wins.

The Tigers not only had big gunners in White andCrump, but also in easy-going 6' 7" forward Michael Jordon.

Jordon's points were made so effortlessly and this is whyhe wasn't publicized much. The big guy, known as the

'California Flash', ended the season with 99 points in the

SEAC tournament to finish with a 23.9 clip. He led the

team in total rebounds and was second in average with 16per contest.

Savannah State also had great games from JohnnyAbrahms, Jimmie Rutley, Ezra Gatewood, and GeraldHendricks. Rutley, Hendricks and particularly Gatewood,were responsible for the Tigers winning the tournament.Gatewood averaged 11.1 points in the tournament games,while Rutley was directing the Tiger offense.

Coach Richardson's team in winning the tournament,also dominated the awards that were presented. White,Crump and Jordon were named to the first string all-tourna-

ment team; White and Crump were named to the all-con-

ference first teams, with Jordon being named to the secondteam, and White was named the tournament's Most Valu-able Player. Although White made only 55 points as com-pared to Crump's and Jordon's 99 and 97, he averaged 22rebounds in those three games and raised havoc on defense.

Coach Richardson was named Coach of the Year.The shoot-em-up Tigers averaged 106.6 points per

game in the tournament and grabbed rebounds at an average

of 65 per contest.

The tournament win was of course the best way for

Savannah State to end its long career in SEAC. The teamwill next season compete in the tough SIAC, against suchteams as Tuskegee, South Carolina State, FAMU, and of

course, Fort Valley. The opposition is great, but CoachRichardson and the returning and new players look forwardto next season with much optimism.

Support Your Alumni ProgramAll of our alumni have every right to be proud of

Savannah State College and the progress that is being made.This year the enrollment exceeded 2000 students for the

first time in the history of the college. As the student

population increases, your Alma Mater is also growing andimproving in many other ways. Within the last three years

eight new buildings have been dedicated. The beginning

of the past football season witnessed the dedication of the

new Football Stadium. A new student center-food service

building is presently under construction and three other

buildings are scheduled to be started prior to the end of this

academic year.

In addition, the college was recently accepted into the

Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and conse-

quently will be expected to compete with stronger athletic

opponents. In order for our Alma Mater to compete with

such powerful opponents as Alabama State, Alabama A. &M., Florida A. & M., South Carolina State, Tuskegee Insti-

tute and others in this conference, additional revenue mustbe obtained to build strong competitive teams. The college

cannot provide these additional funds—the Alumni Associa-

tion must accept this responsibility.

In April of this academic year Savannah State College

will launch its first annual Community Support Program.An organized campaign will be conducted to secure sub-

stantial financial support from the total community. Thefunds secured from this campaign will be used to initiate

certain badly needed new programs and to strengthen the

total development of the College.

As the chairman of the Alumni Campaign Committee,

I urge your support of the alumni efforts in this very worth-

while project. Alumni support will determine to a large

degree the kind of support that we may expect and receive

from others. I am personally making a substantial contri-

bution and encourage those of you who can to do so also.

Those who contribute $100 or more will become membersof the Savannah State College National Alumni CenturyClub and will be honored at the Homecoming Banquetduring the Alumni Homecoming Weekend at the MangerHotel in the Fall. In addition, their pictures will appear in

an assigned section on the wall in the Administration

Building.

Duke University, with the aid of an $85,000 grant, has

begun a scholarship program to bring underprivileged

students into its law school. The grant will provide three-

year, full-tuition scholarships for five students in each fresh-

man class during the next three years. Funds are being

sought to cover living expenses and other fees.

Eventually, Duke hopes to expand the program so that

at least 10 percent of each law class will be composed of

underprivileged students, primarily Negroes. Grants will

be made on a half-loan, half-scholarship basis, with one-

third of the loan forgiven for each year the graduate prac-

tices law in the South. The Duke law school opened its doors

to Negroes in 1961, but has had only four Negro graduates.

Mentally Retarded Can Be WorkersGeorgia is proving that mentally retarded workers can

become productive and valued employees when they areproperly matched to their jobs.

During the four-and-a-half fiscal years that the FederalPlacement Program has been operated to help the mentally

retarded, 222 placements have been made in 14 federal

agencies in Georgia, according to John S. Prickett, Jr.,

assistant superintendent for rehabilitation services, GeorgiaDepartment of Education. Prickett's office administers the

U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare fundsfor the mentally retarded workers project.

This project was initiated in 1963 by President John F.

Kennedy to provide job opportunities in governmentagencies for the mentally retarded. The program hasdemonstrated to non-government employers that retarded

individuals can hold responsible positions in business andindustry.

A recent HEW survey reports that many of the place-

ments have earned promotions to more difficult assign-

ments after training. The survey rated Georgia eighth in

the nation in terms of total number of placements in federal

agencies. Among the jobs performed successfully werethose of typist, messenger, laboratory technician, clerk andlaundry worker.

Prickett said that rehabilitation counselors in the pro-

gram give clients a variety of services in preparation for

job placement; they also counsel clients after they are em-ployed. Aid is given in such areas as housing, transporta-

tion, medical and financial assistance and training in properwork habits and personal grooming.

Interested federal agencies may contact coordinators in

each of the eight vocational rehabilitation districts in

Georgia.

"The Negro in the 20th Century" is the title of a coursebeing offered this spring for the first time at the University

of Alabama. A continuation of an existing course "The 18thand 19th Century Negro," the new course deals with the

relationship of the Negro to the industrial-urban environ-ment of the U. S. A visiting professor from Stillman Collegeis teaching the course, which has about 100 students enrolled.

Charles F. Kettering II, founder and president of CFKLtd., Denver, Colorado, a philanthropic corporation en-

gaged in educational development, was elevated to chairmanof the board at a February 25 meeting of the organiza-tion's board of directors. Dr. Edward Brainard, who hasserved as executive vice president since the corporation wasfounded, was named president.

CFK Ltd. was organized in 1967 with primary focus onthe improvement of the learning environment at the ele-

mentary and secondary school level. The corporation's cur-

rent work in the area of human relations in the school hasreceived extensive publicity nationally and internationally.

With CFK Ltd.'s assistance, six school districts aroundthe country are preparing detailed plans by which improvedmeans of emphasizing effective human relations as a basic

goal of these schools can be demonstrated. Seven educa-tional consultants produced model plans for the project.

Another unique program is the development of an in-

service approach to individualized continuing education for

secondary school principals and their immediate supervisors.

This project has been undertaken by eight school districts.

It is aimed at the administrator's educational leadership

rather than his managerial functions.

Working out of Denver, CFK Ltd. differs significantly

from other funding organizations in that it assumes the

initiative and develops its programs by working directly

with able educators in selected school districts throughoutthe United States.
