SEABURY Miss Douglass Hi Contest got un- der way Tuesday, October 13, with a Bang. This contest will deter- mine who will reign as Miss Douglass for the school year 1954-’55. In addition to the honors attach- ed to the position, it is the fervent hope of everyone at Douglass that through this competitive effort the remaining indebtedness on Duog- lass’ new bus can be erased. While the purchase of the bus re- presented the greatest financial un- dertaking Douglass has attacked victory is already in sight if every- one in the community will dedicate himself or herself to the task of finishing this noble undertaking, We cannot help but again express our gratitude to those business firms and individuals who helped in May. But we must. continue to appeal to the progressive citizen- ery of our community for help until this bus is totally ours. So to the many known friends of Douglass, both white and Negro, who have not been enrolled among those who are helping pay for this bus, we are appealing again to you. Our children, have already this term, made 2 trips which, except for the fact that we had our own bus, could not have been made, For they would have cost approxi- mately five - hundred dollars per trip. This broad enrichment for our children through travel cannot de- crease. It must inerease! We should all determine that isolation geographically shall not deter our children from normal association with other children of their own age group. When the children come by and ask you to help, please respond friendly and freely. FAMU Adds 81 To Staff TALLAHASSEE — (Special) — The appointment of 81 persons— including Dr. John W. Chenault, one of the nation’s foremost orth- opedists—to the faculty and staff of Florida A and M University, has been: announced by President George W. Gore, Jr. Dr. Chenault, who joins the staff of the $2,000,000 hospital and health center as physician in charge of Special services, received the M.D. degree from the University of Minnesota in 1931, and headed the Infantile Paralysis Clinic at John A. Andrew Memorial, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., for 18 years. He is a member of the Speciality Board of the Ameritan Board of Ortho- pedie Surgery. The appointments to a large de- gree, represent additions to the faculty and staff rather than re- placements and reflect the policy inaugurated by Dr. Gore upon his acceptance of the presidency on April 1, 1950, of upgrading and in- creasing the size of the faculty and staff in order to carry forward the university program of instruction and service to the community. This is clearly indicated by the increase in the size of the teaching faculty from 183 persons in 1950 to 254 per- sons by March 1, 1954, The members of the American Psychologists Association were re- cently told that “self-appointed in- competent psychologists” with “phony $25 mail order diplomas” are reaping millions of dollars | San from unwary patients.
