CLARENCE BIGGS Collins Speaks To Sigma Rho Sigma “Challenge and Response” was the topic Mr. Brinston Collins, Social Science instructor used in presenting an address to the Iota Chapter of the Sigma Rho Sigma Honor Society, on April 21, in Lester Hall. In the outset, he gave challenges that will face Social Scientists; “A society of rapid change, net of im mediate surrounding, but of the en tire world; new concepts; soaring sixties; and a need for understanding. Mr. Collins asked a question. “W'hat do the new rockets and other inventions mean to you?” In elab orating on the question, he said “There is a call for higher s:holar- ship.” The problem of how peo ple will get along with one another during the Sixties was mentio .ed by the speaker. Social Scientists must study and promote recognition of achievement, cooperation, human re lations, and growth and development, in order to solve the problem, .said the speaker. Concluding his address, Mr. Col lins said, “The challenge is forever flung across the pages of history. Response has been exceedingly slow and taken up by only a few.” Barbara White and Trumilla John son recited Negro poems by James Weldon Johnson, Herry Pickett, presi dent of the Chapter acted as master of ceremony and Mr. C. W. Gregory, advise gave invigorating remarks on Mr. Collins’ speech. WITH THE GREEKS Ques Sponsor Assembly Lambda Gamma Chjpter of Ome ga Psi Phi Fraternity presented Broth er John E.

The speaker began his me.ssage by stating that we should know ourselves We should not take just an outward view of ourselves, but, rather, we should take an inward view. Too many times we attribute our short comings to someone else. Self knowl edge leads us into the real self. “Preparation is next in attainment,” said the speaker. The people who are bored with life are the people who have no goals; they are not mak ing preparation to contribute to so ciety. The cry today is to produce or be left behind. Rev. Trotman further stateJ that the only way to judge a person is by his purpose. All college students should ask themselves three questions' Who am I? Where am I going? and What is my purpose? We should take good look at “self” and wake up to self-realization. Biggs Enters Greekdom Clarence Biggs, sophomore, re cently crossed the burning sands in to Omegaland.
