ITO achieve honor, one must have
the concept Of self direction, self
discipline, and self responsibility"
DR.. Irene d. Jackson, Associate
professor of modern foreign langu-
ages told a capacity audience at
Jackson State College Wednesday,
May II. The occasion was the Col
lege's Twelfth Annual Honors Day
Program, sponsored by Kappa Phi
Chapter of Alpha Mu Honor So
ciety. DR.. Jackson told her audi
ence that "Too often we select a
self which is greedy and which
wants to get somewhere by any
conceivable means" She abhorred
the dishonesty, deceit, graft, scan
dals, false labels, corruption, and
damaged goods running rampant in
our present day society. "Born
into world of despair and hope
lessness, youth must find some
thing to hold Onto" She reminded
the large audience, made up mostly
of Jackson State College students
and faculty members, that "Honor
is not an empty thing, not a mere
word" DR.. Jackson was introduced
by Mrs. Dora Washington.
