We are pleased to report they are scatter^ over a wide area. ' i a i The Peace Corps recently informed us that no less than nine Langston graduates are serving, or have served, in countries all over the world. They have been in Turkey, Kenya, Korea, and hidia, to name a few. Although nine does not appear to be a large number it is good to know that no other college in the state of Oklahoma has had as many volunteers as Langston. This then becomes a very impressive record. It is interesting to note that with the current Viet Nam crisis and Getting everything a ready for Snoddy’s wedding the fight of many to stay out of the Armed Forces, Langston Uni­ versity has a number of people who have volunteered for service there. They have done so while working for the American Red Cross. Be^nning as Assistant Field Directors upon graduation and after six or eight months training most are assigned to Viet Nam. Six Langston graduates have been employed by the American Red Cross. January graduates, Charles Yokley, William Alexander, and William Smitherman have accepted positions with the Red Cross. Three earlier graduates are oldor employees with that organization. Back in the States meanwhile, Langston graduates are spread over business and industry, government jobs and in all phases of education. Pan American Petroleum has at least six graduates in all phases of its operation. Chemist, accountant, and laboratory assistant are positions held by Langston graduates. The Continental Oil Co., Ponca City, succeeded in hiring Opel Venable as an accountant. Dow Chemical Co. has signed one of our May graduates to a very impressive contract. Kerr-McGee currently sponsors a special program with Langston University in which junior are employod during the summer and are hopeful of gaining full time employment upon graduation. No doubt other firms will initiate this type of program in the future. Langston’s Lions are teaching and counseling in many states and in many parts of the world. There are noted concentrations of education majors in Kansas City, Missouri; Gary, Indiana; Detroit, Michigan; and Cleveland, Ohio, as well as Uie major cities in tne state of Oklahoma. The mobility of people in education is very great and Langston graduates have taken full advantage of ttiis. lou KiQs-gei oils nouse purty for this wedding!” This summer when Langston University students return to their native communities for work and relaxation some will participate in special programs in and around the state and the nation.

THE SnPREMES Excellent—Love Is Like An Itching (Motown 1094) The supremes have done it again. This one Is bound to reach No. 1 on all national charts. It will probably rise on the charts faster than any previous supreme hit within the past year.

FONTELLA BASS Excellent—I Surrender (Checker 1137) I am quite confident that this record will hit the top twenty-five on all national charts. Fontella Bass’ sparkling voice adds to the Chicago, Chess, Checker sound exemplified in this recording. ★★★★★ TEMPTATIONS Excellent—Get Ready (Gorday 7049) “ Smokey” Bill Robinson has score*! again with this sure shot hit. It is fast and groovy. 'k'k'kifk KENNY CARTER Excellent—Body and Soul (RCA Victor 47-8791) This Is a fast, slow soulful record. The Introduction Is quite unique. The big orchestration in this disk is really pleading to the ear. The violins are arranged beautifully. Ittid tif

a iw a w liA HUMPHREY Good—Power of Love (U.S.A. 840) “ Power of Love” is definitely a new and different sound from the windy city, Chicago.

ISLEY BROTHERS Excellent—This Old Heart Of Mlne(Tamla 54128) This is anofter Holland &Dozier production from Motown. But, nevertheless it's an excellent disc.

DIONNE WARWICK Excellent—Message To Michael (Scepter) Dionne sings this Burt Bacharach and Hal David ballad in the best of taste. It’s a very beautiful song. t'k'kUK KIM WESTON Very Good—Helpless (Gordy 7050) IT Is a great follow up of Kim’s previous hit single, “ Take Me PEGGY LATIMER In Your Arms.” I fae! as though helpless has more potential for a chart buster.

JAMES BROWN Good—It’s A Man’s World (Smash) James Brown truly shows his versatility In ttls record. It a slow and serious disc.

THE CAPITOLS Good-Cool Jerk(Karen 1524) The song is all about a guy who can really do the cool jerk well. This disc is packed with hunror as well as a good dancing beat.

THE VAN DYKES
