Bit of Black History
Liberation is not a new thing
for the Black Woman. It has been
going on for a long time. The
Black Woman has had to be
liberated to be able to “get over.”
One example of the Black
Woman’s Uberation is Harriet
Tubman, better known as
“Moses.”
She was born in Maryland, into
slavery and escaped when she
was about twenty-five. Before
she died, she had returned to the
South nineteen times and brought
out more than three hundred
slaves. Bounties for her capture
amounted to more than $40,000.
Harriet Tubman once said
“There was one or two things I
had a right to. Liberty or Death;
if I could not have one, I would
have the other,.”
There have been many Harriet
Tubmans, Sojourner Truths,
Mary McLeod Bethunes, only
they were not as well known.
They are the grandmothers and
mothers that are seen everyday.
Women’s Lib may be new to
some, but to the Black Woman, it
has always been a Reality.

Young Democrats
The young Democratic Party
was formed to involve WSSU
students in voter registration or
electoral politics. One of the
major aims of the club is to try
and determine why such a
majority of the Black population
fails to vote in all elections.
In order to discover the reason
behind the lack of involvement
and then work towards a solution
to the problem, a survey is being
conducted by Johnny Wilson,
vice-president of the YDC
(Young Democratic Committee).
Goals of the YDC include
starting electoral seminars for
educating those that do not
understand the complication of
politics. They would also like to
disprove the myth that Blacks
are not really concerned about
the mechanisms of politics.
The Young Democratic Party
will be involved in the political
issues in the community. They
are hoping to make the
University community a part of
li
Some “Hollywood Swinging” at WSSU.
Gallery Exhibits Works
At various times during this
school year the Art Gallery,
located in the Fine Arts Building
will have a variety of art exhibits
on display by renowned artists.
The first exhibit began on
September 16 and lasted through
September 30. It was an exhibit of
paintings and drawings by Miss
Ethel Guest. Miss Guest is a
native of Charlotte, N.C. A
viewing of the exhibit revealed
that her work showed great
strength in design that excelled
in color.
During the month of October,
the art work of Mrs. Mitzi
Shewmake and her husband Mr.
Ed Shewmake, is on exhibit in the
Art Gallery. The exhibit consists
of ceramic sculpture by Mrs.
Shewmake, who is an art
instructor here at WSSU and
etchings by her husband. Mrs.
Shewmake did most of her
ceramic sculpture during the
summer at a crafts school in
Montana. Mrs. Shewmake shows
her abilities to be acclaimed as a
great artist in her exhibit.
Another exhibit that will be
held this semester is the work of
Mr. John W. Arterberry. His
show will begin November 4, and
continue through November 19.
The Art Gallery is open to the
public Monday through Friday
from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Try to visit at least one if not all
of the exhibits because they
prove to be very interesting.

Big
Whirl of
Fashion
By MICHELE JOHNSON
Once again the Ebony Fashion
Fair presented its annual fashion
show. This year the fair was
entitled “The Big Whirl of
Fashion”, and it showed
promises of being one of the most
spectacular events to hit
Winston-Salem. Top models from
everywhere set the stage for a
fashion parade that could only be
called “The Fifth Avenue Look”.
Square shoulders, high collars
and sassy, flopper fur scarves
joined the grays and browns as
well as the royal and powder
blues and provided a soft and
stunning look. Evening styles
were floating in chiffon and
trimmed in feathers or fur.
The caped effect that is fall’s
fashion trademark was
transformed into the soft shawl
or old-fashioned stole for the
after five look. And if you’ve
never developed a taste for the
midi, take a second look at the
new mid-calf styles that were on
view. Other feature attractions at
the fashion fair were models
Billie Blair, Pat Cleveland,
Ramona Saunders and Charlene
Dash.
The fashion show was
presented last Friday, October 18
in the Reynolds Auditorium.
Judging from the turnout, most
folks can’t wait until its return
next year.
