Chapel Slips During this festive and joyous season of Christmas, let us stop •briefly to reevaluate ourselves with our Christmas obligation. This time of year, more than any, is a time for one to make resolutions for .change in one’s outlook for the in coming year. Keeping this in mind let us remember our responsibility as a college commxmity to attend Chapel. Let us make a resolution to attend chapel during our ap pointed time. It is our choice either to attend chapel during services freely, or to be subjected to en force attendance as it was before. As students, shall we face this chal lenge as adults or shall we be irres ponsible? The decision is ours. In short, we have a challenge before us, and as mature college students We should face and meet our re sponsibility. Biology Club The Biology Club is one of the most progressive organizations on Saint Augustine’s College campus. The Club has extended its mfluence further this year than ever before. The club is headed by Mr. William Millette, President; and Dr. W. H. Young, Adviser. . The Club is striving towards m- fluencing mo're students to be m- terested in its program. In.ao“g so the club has made it possible to have various types of programs in order to stimulate the students interest as well as intrc^ucing im portant material that is bene&ciary to the students in the field ofs sci ence. However, these programs are not limited to science ma3ors, but to all persons interested in the pro grams that are being offered. Plans have been made to have lectures and films on various meet ing dates. The meeting dates begin ning next semester are as foUows: January 8, a film, “Mylomycedes; iPlant or Mammal?” February 11, a fUm, title to be announced; March 10, a film, “Canuvorous Plants” and a lecture on carnivor ous plants and plant evolution; May 4, film and lecture to be an nounced. Thus far, student attendance has been exceptionally good. Thanks to the student body, the Biology Club has achieved one of the highest standards of recognition in the his tory of the College. The following students merited the Dean’s list, the second semes ter, l%2-63; Glenda Bennett, Jef ferson Blackburn, Sheila Brown, Maurvene DeBerry, Eunice Fox, Anne Gaskins, Bernard Hicks, Grace Horne, Stella Horton, Gloria Johnson, OUie Jones, Ariston King, John Larkins, Juana Lopez, Vernon McHam, Erick May, James Moore, Judith Moore, Richard Peterson, Mildred Richardson, Vivian Saw yer, Betty Smith, Alma Thomas, Brenda Williams, Elnora Wilson, IPatricia Wilson, Norma Wright.

The Challenge Of Change On Wednesday, November 13, a.963, the chapel assembly was un expectedly addressed by Dr. Frank Weaver on “The Challenge of Change.” Dr. Weaver is the Sup ervisor of Elementary Education of the State Department of Public Instruction. The address, both ap propriate and important in its tim ing, was directed primarily to the absent cadet teachers and future educators. Therefore, it is neces sary to restate in this article the most enUghtening facts. In his address, Dr. Weaver re quested that prospective teachers accept the challenge of change and through this acceptance, they will see their role in the “light of the rapidity of change.” According to Dr. Weaver, “more training is now required, and we must not only have quality edu cation but a great quantity of qual ity in our education.” To do this, he advocated re-education of some teachers and rewards for others. Individual planning, self-evaluation and a developed philosophy were also stressed as necessities of the ChaUenge of Change. Dr. Weaver concluded his ad dress with the following philosophy, which he called: This I Believe — “Every day in school should bring to every child an opportunity for laughter and merriment, wonder and curiosity, quiet and repose. He should find in each day, friendli ness, independence, social under standing, high and vigorous acti vity. There should be problems to Solve, responsibUites to assume, release of imaginations, and living in a child-size Democracy.” Canterbury Club PETER GOLDEN The purpose of the Canterbury Club is to promote Christian fellow ship and service among youth. It is composed of college students who have a serious dedication to this end, national as well as inter national. The organization has already had several activities as part of its list of projects for the year. Mr. Fred rick Douglas, a senior majoring in Physical Education, who was one of St. Augustine’s representatives to “Crossroads Africa,” gave slides and a brief but informative discus sion on his recent trip. A Thanks giving Dance was another activity. The admission to this successful event was a canned food. The Club was able to extend the spirit of Thanksgiving to six families, by this event. The Canterbury Club would like to extend a very special apprecia tive vote of thanks to the college chapter of the NAACP whose dance had to be cancelled due to the untimely death of the Presi dent. The admission to the event would have been an article of clothing which was to be turned over to the Canterbury Club. A more recent event was Ecumenical Sunday, December 8th, when members of the Club went to other churches to get a better imder- standing of the liturgy and ideas of the underlying principles of their religion. Some coming events on the cal endar of the Club will be three films, dealing with the church and the campus, vocational callings, several conferences and other events to stimulate campus in terest. The Club is opened to persons of all religious beliefs, though its bas ic foundation is seated in the Epis copal church. The Canterbury Club extends a hearty and warm in vitation to aU students to its meet ings and activities. Meetings are held the second and fourth Sundays at 6:30 P.M. in the Cheshire Lounge.

Peek, two students io the history and government departments, rep resented Saint Augustine’s CoUege at the University of Maryland at a conference on “Africa”. These two students both juniors and ac tive members of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations spoke'briefly about the conference to the Social Science Club, and Mr. WiUie Claytor’s Cultural History of Africa class. In Mr. Peeks opinion a film called “White Paper No. 7”, nar rated by Chet Huntley and David Brinkley was the most impressive aspect of the conference. Mr. Peek stated, “It brought into horrible reality the condition of the African people in Angola and the incredible atrocities imposed on them by the Portuguese”. The conference con sisted of seminars, discussions, films, lectures, and panel debates. .Some of the topics discussed were: Pan-Africanism, Psychological Ob stacles to African Development, 2 Chinas in Africa, and Colors of Col lision: South Africa. This institute was a very suc cessful attempt to create a student awareness of the forces and ideas which are helping to shape modem Africa. The primary concern of the assembly dealt with those govern mental and private agencies which are currently working in Africa to help the Africans improve their economic, social, and educational Standards. Mr. Golden stated that “the most impressive aspect of the con ference was the extremely distin guished representation of Portugal by its Press Attache-United Na tions Mission; Mr. Milton Moniz.” He further stated “that this man in light of overwhelming odds in the form of opposition of United States Students and many foreign stu dents from Africa, Europe and Asia, continued to rebute and re fute arguments against Portugal land her policies.” Mr. Peek and Mr. Golden agree that the institute was a wonderful experience and wish that more Americans would become more aware of Africa and its problems.

By MARVIN PEEK The officers of the NAACP for this year are: Marvin E. Peek, iPresident, Peter P. Golden, Vice- President; James Manson, Treas urer; Delores Coleman, Secretary; and Paul Cockrell, Membership Chairman. The chapter is very small and should be much larger by virtue of the fact that this is a Negro institution. At least 35 stu dents will be needed to aid in the voter registration drive that is ■starting soon. It is hoped that this this drive wiU be a succesful but it can only be so with the help of each and every one of us doing our part and sharing in holding up their part of the load. All students that wish to join Should contact Paul Coclpell as soon as possible. As President ol the college chapter I would like to congratulate the Adult chapter of the NAACP on their very succes- ful Freedom Fund Dinner. I sin cerely hope that the students pre sent benefited from and will put in to practice the inspiring words ot Reverend Ralph Abernathy. I extend to any interested stu dents an invitation to come to our meetings and take part in all the activities of the club. Dr. Proctor Speaks To Student Body Dr. Samuel D.
