GUINEA PIGS. In the picture are shown the individuals who constituted one of the age-groups
of human subjects who cooperated with Dr. A. Richard Bliss, Jr., Professor of Pharmacology
at Howard, in his studies of the actions of certain chemicals on the human skin. Over forty
persons took part in the work ; it was necessary to include persons of- different ages and com¬
plexions. Among other .observations, it was noted that the youngest subjects, the girls, those
with soft, finer skin textures' — especially the blondes, are more susceptible to the local actions
of the chemical compounds studied. Dr. Bliss’ studies have extended over a period of six
years. He has reported his previous findings before the XIV International Physiological Con¬
gress which met in Leningrad, U. S. S. R. in 1935, and before the XV International Congress
which met in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1938.

Merger Discussed By Students
After asking students their opin¬
ion on merging Howard and South¬
ern it was found that the pro's and
con's are about even. Maybe the
trouble is that all of the facts are
not definite in their mind, any¬
way here are some of the answers
the editor got when she asked dif¬
ferent students the question: “What
do you think of merging Howard
and Southern?"
Gladys Scott: “It's not as bad as
most people think it is but 1 don't
believe It will ever be done."
OUve Poeey: "No, never, I hate
them! Anyway, I'm afraid Main
would crumble to pieces if we
ever moved it”
Grady Hutchinson: “People at
Alabama and Auburn have the
advantage over us and if Howard
and Southern were combined we
could have them too."
Harry Ted: - Good thing to merge
the two schools If you don4 sub¬
coming back next year.”
Little Watkins: “I'm agin it 1
don't want to associate with those
guys.”
Jimmy Redd: "We can all pull in
the same direction then.”
Cletus Ford: "Both together could
accomplish more than they could
separately.”
Lafayette Walker: "Any attempt
to merge the schools means a sub¬
merging for Howard.”
Eddie Merle Smith: “Cats and
Dogs never did get along together."
Jared Walker: "In the present
condition it will be the only sal
vation of the two schools.”
Wayerly Watkins: "My only ob¬
jection would be that those South¬
ern students would get to thinking
they were as good as we are."
8araael Buford: “Suits me fine if
they’d put Howard where Southern
la— then I wouldn’t have so far to
only school to train Baptist min¬
isters in the state, and I believe if
they were combined, two separate
departments would finally merge.”
Oalher Putman: 'They are Meth¬
odist and we art Baptist, therefore
we would have to get an Athiest for
president to keep down the rows,
but I am in favor of it since it
would increase the number of co-
Weaver: “I don’t know and Southern should
about it to commit myself.'' there would be some
Lea Vines: “1 hadn't thought I boys around."

MINISTERS ADOPT
RESOLUTION
Howard Theologues
Take First Stop
In Campaign
The Miisterial Association is the
first to take definite steps toward
abolishing cheating at Howard by
passing a resolution to take care
of its own members. It was brought
out in the discussion of the move
that it would not only stop malic¬
ious gossip by clearing those who
are innocent, but also would deter
any student from masquerading as
a ministerial student while dis¬
gracing the body by distinctly un¬
ethical practice?.
It was also brought out that the
responsibility <jf the Association is
to go no further than its own mem¬
bers until an honor system is put
forward which will include the en¬
tire student body. It is expected
that other organizations will take
similar steps to abolish cheating
within their ranks.
The resolution is as foUows:
Whereas: The Ministerial Associ¬
ation of Howard College has no way
of preventing any student from en¬
tering as a ministerial student, re¬
gardless of his character or license
to preach. And whereas: The ma¬
jority of the members have suffered
in the estimation of other students
due to the failure of a small mi¬
nority to maintainthe conduct be¬
coming to a miniate» of the Gospel.
And Whereas: It haa been con¬
tinually reported that one or more
members of this Association has
been dishonest or examinations,
thereby limiting the Christian influ¬
ence of the entire body.
And Whereas: The nature of the
Association is such that it demands
of its members the maintenance of
absolute integrity of character and
Christian conduct.
Therefore, be it resolved:
I . That we. the members of the
Ministerial Association of Howard
College, covenant together, each to
do his part in maintaining the high
position of the group as a body of
Ambassadors for Christ both on and
off the college campus.
II. That we cooperate with the
faculty In abolising cheating at
Howard by taking definite steps in
event that one of our members
is reported to have cheated; said
steps to be as foUows:
1- That the president appoint a
temporary committee to investigate'
the case and report to the Associa¬
tion.
2. That, if necessary, a ..jury be
•elected from the members of the
A®ociaUon. said jury tb be selected
in any manner which the Associa¬
tion will decide at the time, which
*Ш
hear the evidence In the pres-
*nc'e of the Association, and in
secret session return a verdict as
fellows: Either (A) Not guilty.
®) Guilty but leniency recom¬
mended an da second chance given
00 proper acknowledgment to the
Association. (C) Guilty and a re-
tnest that the college authorities
take further action.
3 Further steps shall be left to
*e college authorities.
Ш.
That all students studying
lor the Baptist ministry at Howard
*rc considered to be member* of
| “Us Association and are included
“Oder the provisions of these reso¬
lutions.
Passed by the Ministerial Associa-
be>. m session, Feb. 27, 1939.
