Mrs. Patricia W. Hawkins, assistant Professor of English and
Speech at Philander Smith College has been elected second
vice president of the Arkansas
Teachers of College English
during the annual conference
held Saturday, A p r i l 20 in Conway, Arkansas.
Mrs. Hawkins was among the
guest speakers and delivered an
address on "The Now Mood i n
Black Literature." She told the
predominantly white g r o u p
(four N e g r o
representatives
from A M and N College of Pine
Bluff were the only members
of their race present other than
Mrs.
Hawkins) t h a t
"James
Baldwin has told me that nobody knows my name, a n d
Ralph Ellison reminds me of my
invisibility. Then along comes
a rock'n r o l l singer J a m e s
Brown who says I ' m Black and
I'm Proud' — I t is the modern
trend i n Black Literature to
show emphatically that I have
a name and everyone knows i t ,
and that I am visible and can
be seen and heard and felt; and
that blackness is a most significant part of m y being."
"Black writers," she stated,
"are becoming more articulate
and more aesthetic."
Mrs. Hawkins, at the conclusion of her speech, was told by
the chairman of the English Department at L i t t l e Rock University, Dr. Johnye Mathews that
she w i l l become the first Black
Professor (on a part time basis,)
at that institution starting this
summer. " I am delighted," Mrs.
Hawkins said. "I hope my services w i l l be beneficial to both
black and w h i t e students."
As a result of the address i n
Conway, Mrs. Hawkins has been
bombarded w i t h requests f r o m
other colleges and universities
in Arkansas. She was guest
lecturer on May 7th at A r k a n sas Polytechnic i n Russellville,
to a packed ballroom and made
a great impression on the audience. The president's wife stated
that she had never heard students applaud so long.
"Both audiences seemed particularly interested i n the poetry
and excerpts f r o m prose that I
read. I t h i n k many of them did
not know that Black people
c o u l d express themselves so
beautifully."

students as an exceptionally articulate speaker, and as a perfectionist when i t comes to selfexpression.

Dear Mr. Neuhauser:
I am a minority or disadvantaged student.
I have a college degree, or I will by June.
I understand you're running a 6-week summer institute to prepare students like me for law school in
the fall.
The institute will run from June 16 to July 25, and
48 minority or disadvantaged students will participate. Free tuition, room and board, and $50 a week
in lieu of summer earnings will be provided.
Those who successfully finish the program will have
shown their ability to handle law school work and,
with the help of the Director of the Institute, should
be able to be admitted to an accredited law school*
Please rush me the proper forms, since applications
close May 1st. Thank you.
