Inscription

"Man's greatest triumph," Bertrand Russell declares, in A
Freeman's Worship, "is the achievement of stability and inner
repose in a world of shifting threats and terrifying change."
Echoing the idea of Russell and emphasizing an existing
instability, a lack of repose, shifting threats and indeed terri-
fying changes in the world today, a great American spoke
these words in his inaugural address January 20, 1961.

Now the trumpet summons
burden of a long twilight
rejoicing in hope, patient
against the common enemies

cans: ask not what your country
you can do for your country."

United States.

THE EDITOR'S COMMENTS
"Rattler '64" depicts some of the events, facts and
developments at FAMU during the 1963-64 school year
in a world that has changed more in this annual's
thirteen years of publication than in all the centuries
that have gone before. We have striven to describe some
of the feelings which are experienced by every college
student as he lays the final foundations in preparation
for the challenging future. We, the Rattler Staff, do not
intend for this narrative in pictures and thoughts to be
associated exclusively with one year alone, but it may
be considered representative of FAMU in any year.
International, national, state and local events were
looked upon with much concern by FAMU. Especially
is this time with reference to the fights for civil rights
waged by minority groups everywhere and in which
FAMUans played an important role. Not always were
individuals involved in agreement with the means used
to secure the ends, but all were moving toward the
same goal. Many great events and a host of minor
events are recorded in word and picture in "Rattler '64."
Through the initial plans, the many pictures, copy,
typing, art work, and proofing, to the final days of tense
waiting, "Rattler '64" became a part of us. We have
lived it day in and day out, but enjoying every minute
so that we could retain for prosperity and present to
you now, the story of FAMU, 1964.
Well, here you have it at long last-the 1963-64 edition
of the Rattler. The staff has worked indefatigably to
make it what it should be. However, a brain child is a
long time a-borning and an even longer time growing
up. And the final product is rarely what the dream en-
visioned even so clearly. Nevertheless, we hope that
you will derive from your Rattler many happy hours
re-living the many events herein recaptured; even more,
that as time goes by and memories mellow, you will
finger through these pages and rededicate yourselves to
the head, the heart, the hand and the field that are
FAMU.
The Editor

... From the desk of the

President

of Florida -

A & M University

During 1963-64, our scholars, the Rattlers, the Marching 100,
Bob Hayes, the Playmakers, other groups, and a host of individ-
uals have held high the fair name of Alma Mater. However, as
we begin the fourth quarter of a century of existence, many new
challenges loom on the horizon. Although FAMU's history has
been illustrious, it is the future that is truly challenging; for the
changing social pattern is making new and complex demands on
FAMU, and FAMU will have to adjust and revise its entire pro-
gram if it is to be in a position to compete.
The 1964 Rattler is a pictorial presentation of some of the major
events of the year now drawing to a close. As they become mem-
ories, we are making plans for a bigger and better FAMU. What
we become in the future depends on what each of us is willing
to do. For though the future is bright with promise and the prom-
ise is almost limitless, it will take the loyal support of every son
and daughter if FAMU is to assume her rightful role in the aca-
demic world.
The Rattler is dedicated this year to a brave and courageous
man, not only a man who dreamed dreams but one who trans-
lated those dreams into positive action. For us he has set the ex-
ample; we will do well to keep ever before us his shining image
of unshakable confidence and forthright, undeviating leadership.
Let us, too, move forward eagerly, confidently, and, above all,
girded with the arms of preparation as we pour forth our un-
stinting support to Alma Mater that she may make her unique
contribution in the days that are to come.

Administration

Science may one day invent a machine which can be created and set in motion and left to run
alone until eternity with no later adjustments being necessary to keep it in smooth running order,
but that day has not yet come. A university is not a machine, but as in the case of the mechanical
device, the creators of a university can not found one and then stand off to admire their handi-
work. The job is never completed. Behind the seemingly smooth hearts and placid surface of
"university affairs," there are many heads, hearts and hands responsible for the manipulation of
the delicate and intricate machinery which makes the university what it is. The work of these
heads, hearts, and hands, called for convenience's sake administration, is like the action of a machine
where pressing of a button sets in motion a chain reaction. The legislature presses the button; the
spark moves from the legislature to the Board of Control, to the President, to the Deans, to the
Department Heads, and on to the faculties. Before the cycle is completed, the current has reached
and taxed the mental and physical resources of many persons-directors, counselors, and advisors-
who give of themselves unstintingly for the student's welfare.
Forever planning and thinking to try to secure the best for the people who make the univer-
sity, these are the heads which guide and direct and set the machine in motion. From them the
flame moves on to the students, where, if the machinery really works, the young men and women
of the university are enabled to learn to live better in the world which they must inhabit. Under
such conditions, which are conducive to learning, they can learn to live productive lives as educated
human beings.

Agriculture and Home Economics, integral
components of the educational structure at
FAMU, are combined into one School from
which come students trained in the operation and
management of farm enterprises, good home-
makers, dietitians, designers, wise consumers,
and teachers for secondary schools. Many stu-
dents from this School have found fruitful and
useful careers not only in local communities, but
also with the Armed Forces and the Peace Corps.

and Faculties

Arts and Sciences

Art and Ceramics

To provide a balance and proportion in the curricula
of a university, there must be courses which can no
longer be regarded as a cultural veneer applied over
an otherwise practical education. Art as a cultural in-
terest and an integral part of industry has come into
its own as a vital component of life. So it is at FAMU.
Course offerings in the Department of Art prepare
trained artists for interpretation and instruction in vis-
ual arts, including painting, drawing, sculpture, ce-
ramics, and many phases of creative activity. The habit
of creative research developed in art study has proved
to be a practical aid in many careers not usually as-
sociated with art. For this reason, many students in

other areas turn to the Art Department for the special
training and assistance which may be found there. Ex-
hibits by students, members of the faculty, and other
artists outside the local community contribute to the
student's wealth of experience. Realizing the value of
personal expression in a standardized society, the Art
Department seeks to encourage students to try their
hands at creative art in some form and to train their
minds in art appreciation. Thus, the program of the
department is designed to train students to become
creative and versatile persons who can serve as pro-
ductive members of their profession and in the cul-
tural life of their communities.

Biology

Today's world is a world of science, and the science of
biology is not the least among them. This fact is vividly ap-
preciated when a student majoring in biology, through his
work in the department, comes to the realization of the
correlative existence of biology with other natural sciences
and the importance of his major in the preparation for var-
ious careers. Many students of biology follow the pathway
to m:dIcine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, nursing, optom-
etry, or medical technology. Others enter into teaching in
secondary schools, or, after advanced preparation, in col-
leges and universities; others seek fulfillment in high re-
search positions. Whatever the choice, they cannot pass suc-
cessfully through the Department of Biology without gain-
ing a knowledge and appreciation of their position in the
universe in relationship to other organisms.

Business

Administration

Do you anticipate becoming a business tycoon, an hum-
ble accountant, or a glamorous secretary? The Depart-
ment of Business at FAMU offers three curricula, two
leading to the B.A. degree in Accounting and in Business
Administration; and one curriculum leading to the B.S.
degree in Business Education and secretarial training.
The program is designed to furnish Business majors with
the facts necessary to a clear understanding of our eco-
nomic life, and appreciation of intrinsic and extrinsic
values of life in general, and the importance and function
of business as it relates to our national economy.

Chemistry

Science is practical common sense; it is logic,
it is imagination; it is precision. It is the study
of the composition of matter and the trans-
Sformation it undergoes. To produce the material
objects of the present day civilization, the service
of chemists are needed. To change raw ma-
terials into finished products and to invent and
develop new products are the tasks of the
a chemist. A student who enjoys studying the
Knowledge man has gained of the world about
him so that he may use it to benefit man in the
world he lives in may find expression for his
N talent and interest in the Department of Chemis-
try here at FAMU.

Physics

Physics is a highly developed quanti-
tative science in which the scientific
method is absolutely necessary. Here the --
successful student requires both a highly
developed intuition and an ability to
shape his intuitive ideas into a mathe-
matically scientific design. In physics
natural laws and hypotheses are formed;
experimental results are predicted, and
experiments are devised which demand
the development of new theories. The
Department of Physics offers a program
of study designed to meet the urgent
need for physicists in industry, in gov-
ernmental laboratories, in research in-
stitutes, and in secondary education.

Herbert W. Jones, Joseph St. Amand

Economics

When a student majors in economics, he
finds himself armed with an understanding
of the economic system under which he
lives so that he may lead an intelligent civic
and industrial life. Study in economics may
well be combined with work in related
fields to provide a wider foundation of use-
ful knowledge that will lead to careers be-
yond the original discipline. Study in eco-
nomics combined with work in history and
geography can give a student a good pre-
legal background. Persons interested in so-
cial service can be materially assisted by
a proper selection of economic courses.
Students seeking advanced degrees in
economics in preparation for careers as col-
lege teachers or as specialists who work in
underprivileged areas may seek inspiration
and guidance from teachers in this depart-
ment who themselves have studied the
problems of such areas or who have had
actual experience working in such countries.
A comparatively new department at
FAMU, Economics is designed to provide
training for teaching careers, for junior po-
sitions in business, labor and governmental
organizations, and to develop in the student
an understanding of his responsibility as a
member of a changing social and industrial
order.

Speech

Whether the student wishes to express himself
as a playwright, actor, or director by creating a
character and placing him in action upon the stage
or whether he wishes to use his skills and knowl-
edge in helping persons in need of speech and hear-
ing therapy, he may find the training and inspira-
tion he requires in the Department of Speech. Here
are offered programs covering all phases of the
theatre: acting, directing, designing, playwriting,
history of the theatre, and the technical skills of
building sets, painting scenes, and lighting the
stage. Here, too, one may be trained to become a
speech therapist to take advantage of the many
opportunities open to persons who are capable of
offering speech training to others.

English

The English Department assumes three responsibilities
in the educational program at FAMU. By means of offer-
ings in composition and literature the department seeks
to develop in students the language skills necessary for
intelligent communication. In addition to providing to
prospective teachers of English, information and training
requisite to professional competence, the department
offers to the major a foundation of information and
knowledge and techniques which will enable him to pur-
sue graduate study successfully in English, library serv-
ice, education, journalism, drama, speech, history, for-
eign languages, law, philosophy, and related areas. In
short, one who completes successfully a major in English
has a background which equips him to occupy a position,
in industry or in business, which demands a person who
can read, think, and express himself intelligently.

major in German and of basic
courses in Latin are among the many
plans that may soon be realized.

History and Geography

"He who does not learn history is condemned to relive
-it." In a world of conflicting beliefs and "isms," history
can provide an appreciation for all people and their con-
tributions to civilization and can instill a sense of aware-
ness of an interest in the forces at work in the world today.
A knowledge of geography can help one to know and
Understand physical conditions of the land and waters-
how the land and waters were formed, what grows there,
what wild and domestic animals are native to them, what
people inhabit the land, and what use is made of the land
and waters. Students of history and geography find their
work of extreme significance because they are exposed to
a meaningful and useful organization and presentation of
human experience which should give them a clear under-
standing of the origin and development of their own culture
and institutions, and appreciation of the ideals of the demo-
cratic way of life and an adequate orientation to the wider
world in which they live.

Mathematics

Mathematics is no longer a science concerned merely with the basic
functions once known to it-but, using the same tools, with wider appli-
cation, it has expanded its usefulness to electronics, jet aircraft design,
guided missiles, atomic energy plants, and automatic controls. Govern-
ment finds more and more use for the trained mathematician as nations
expand their exploration into outer space and seek to find ways of living
with other nations in the universe. Realizing the immense importance
of the role played by the mathematician in the world today, the Depart-
ment of Mathematics seeks to train prospective teachers of mathematics
to meet the challenges of everyday mathematical needs which now go
beyond the ordinary and the usual-to fulfill their obligations to spread
existing knowledge and to strive to extend that knowledge beyond its
present boundaries.

Military Science

Since 1950 the Army Reserve Officer's Training Corps has supplied the
Army with officers for the Signal, Chemical, Infantry, Artillery, Ordinance,
Army Intelligence, Medical Service Corps, military police and quarter-
master corps from FAMU. Military leadership is stressed by instruction
in courses necessary to produce good army officers. The advanced course
offered during the junior and senior years, is concerned with specializing
the cadet in one of the branches mentioned previously, and upon gradua-
tion and the completion of four years of military science, the cadet is
commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. The Department of Military Science
at FAMU believes that "For better times we need better men." But
"while we pray for better times in the world, we must work unceasingly
to become the better men who can bring peace and prosperity and sanity
to a disturbed world. This is our ideal; this is our challenge; this is our
duty."
"The basis of training is knowledge, its aim is ability to. act. What the
theory of military education demands, therefore, is not learned minds, but
trained minds. The basic elements of this kind of military training in lead-
ership is critical thought and intellectual flexibility". This, too, is our
duty.

Music

The letter M may begin many words,
but here at FAMU. not the least of these
is the word music. Music here applies to
the sounds coming from many points on
the campus. From one side of Band Hall
come the high birdlike notes of sweet
voiced sopranos and the lower tones of
the contraltos, the tenors and the basses.
From across the street come the wailing
and rumbling notes of low-throated wood-
winds and brasses and the beat of percus-
sion instruments. From Lee Auditorium
the sonorous tones of the organ peal forth,
and from Bragg Stadium or the practice
field, one can hear the spirited beat of the
Marching 100. Put all these sounds to-
gether, and here one will find the organi-
zations which seek to enhance the cul-
tural and aesthetic life of the University
in a way that only music can do. This is
music at FAMU.

personal and social adjustment of the student
as a member of society, and for active and

Political Science

Students who play a significant role in the events of their
government, either at home or as representatives abroad,
may find training in the Department of Political Science.
Here they may receive basic preparation for professional
careers in activities relating to public policy and adminis-
tration. They may also be enabled to .become socially

of a rapidly changing society so that they may be better
able to deal with its many problems. '

a part of the education and training of them all. He
holds the key and is able to unlock doors to happy
lives and successful careers for those he teaches."
The School of Education at FAMU distributes its
offerings in three areas: general education, a profes-
sional education, and a field of specialization. The
first assumes that the teacher, first of all should be
an educated person; the second, that teaching is a
profession which requires special training in psy-
chology, methodology, and the art of teaching; and

the third, that to teach effectively, the teacher must
be in possession of a body of subject matter in a spe-
cific subject field.
In this School of Education, all elements for making
good teachers are present. If one possesses all the
qualities and a genuine desire to teach, through his
study here, he will find himself equipped with the
tools necessary for his task of leading others from the
darkness of ignorance into the light of knowledge.
His material rewards will be comparable to those in
other professions, and his personal and spiritual
rewards will be immeasurable.

Something new has been added to the
Department of Health and Physical Ed-
ucation! At long last, swimming has
been included in the curriculum, and
the swimming is done in a pool which
is attached to a new building! The excla-
mations must not lead one to believe
that this facility is the most important
phase of the program, but who can
blame the Famuan who points with
pride to the pool and revels in the use
of it? No longer must students enrolled
in the health and physical education
courses occupy the crowded and inade-
quate facilities of the erstwhile airplane
hangars, euphemistically called a gym.
Now adequate space and appropriate
equipment are available for instruction
in personal hygiene, the teaching of

Health and Physical Education offers
service courses to meet the health needs

When teams become champions year after year; when
members of those collegiate teams, after leaving the
university, join other teams and become champions;
when tennis players become stars; and the fastest
human being in the world plays and runs for those
teams, what can be said but that athletics have come
into their own at FAMU? Through a program of intra-
mural and intercollegiate athletics, directed by coaches
of proved ability, the athlete here learns to command
his body and his mind so that teams on which he plays
perform to reach as near perfection as possible so that
the end result is usually success. If the game is not won,
the opposing team knows that it has been a contest
worthy of its best efforts.

With the rapid expansion of industry in the world,
new occupations in the technological fields have evolved.
The accelerated use of electrical and mechanical power
on the part of industry has developed a demand for
technicians with a combination of technical and formal
education which occupies an area between the skilled
crafts and the highly scientific professions. The Voca-
tional-Technical Institute seeks to meet this demand by
developing necessary skills and understandings through
two and three-year programs which provide training for
economic efficiency for persons who wish to secure spe-
cialized training for immediate employment after high

school graduation, those who need additional technology
for advancement, and unemployed persons who need
training for a new occupation. Following its expressed
aims, the institute provides vocational and technical
training for those who wish to prepare for employment
in business and industry through terminal courses lead-
ing to the Technical Diploma. The institute provides
one of the University's major opportunities for students
to fulfill that one of its objectives concerned with the
development of those understandings and skills that are
necessary to the business of making a living.

FAMU High School

Academics

A university is to the student many things: it means science and the humanities-languages, lit-
erature, music drama, painting; philosophy and religion and other subjects in that category; it
means the social sciences-history, government, sociology, economics, psychology; it means voca-
tions in agriculture and home economics, in technical areas, and in the professions of law, phar-
macy, nursing and teaching. The student is permitted to live in many worlds.
Through science he sees the world about him; history permits a look at the past at the world
behind him; he looks at a world beyond him through languages and study of other cultures; he
can look within himself through ethics, philosophy and psychology; and through religion he can
look at a world above him. He may listen and talk and think. Through it all he may receive a
broad and liberal introduction to human knowledge which will give him a solid foundation for the
way he has chosen to walk through life, and he can then learn how to lead others into the light
of knowledge and truth.

The nursing program consists of a planned program of
conscientious training through lectures and planned practical
experiences. There are many phases of nursing that lead to be-
coming a full fledged nurse. There are practices and daily
experiences that are related to those in the actual hospital pro-
gram. Checking on patients, learning nursing methods, and
using applied procedures are necessary to becoming an effective
nurse. Another aspect of nursing which must never be over-
looked is accuracy which is more than a skill, for it is a dire
necessity.

for officers and guests. After this delicious repast, throngs
of military men and their dates danced late into the
night, having the "time of their lives."
The night was highlighted with the Grand March
and the presentation of the sparkling "Miss ROTC,"
comely Faye Boyd.

pose of providing cultural, social and recreational activities for
history majors.

all natures were presented for the educational and cultural ad-
vancement of the members.

Biology Club

Focusing its attention on im-
proving the performance of stu-
dents who have difficulties in
biology, the Biology Club is
continuing this year one of its
most successful and most help-
ful activities-a biology clinic.
The members of the Biology
Club have striven this year for
deeper insight into their areas
of concentration and are con-
stantly working for deeper un-
derstanding in each.
It has produced some of the
most brilliant students to cross
FAMU's threshold. Though they
disagree with the old adage "An
Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor
Away," the members of the Pre- Front
Medicine Club are interested in Floyd,
keeping the body fit so that the son, C
doctor need not come. Tomlii
The Pre-Med Club has, since
its establishment, been a symbol -
of dedication to the field of
medicine and to furthering
knowledge about the profession.
These dedicated, future doc-
tors hold the keys to the survival
of- the -nation's people.

Chemistry

Club
Test tubes, Bunsen burners and
chemicals are the ingredients that
make up the chemistry club. No, not
really, but they are the essential ma-
terials necessary for the members of
this club to advance in their field
of specialization-chemistry. Charlie
Henry, Jr., the president, is forever
talking about concepts, theories, and
facts. Members of this club have
visited Fort McClellan to inspect the
Chemical Corps Center there. Watch
out! Here comes a chemistry major
with a bottle that looks quite harm-
ful. Oops! I told you so!-one
less major.

Masonry Club

Exemplifying the fact that the practical arts are beautiful
was one of the most noted projects and attainments of the
Masonry club this past term.
Having been praised for the captivating entrance sign
which they constructed last year, the young masons who com-
pose the club are united by a bond of interest in bricklaying,
plastering, cement finishing, and the laying of concrete blocks.
These young artists in the future will be in great demand,
for they will one day be builders of our homes.
