President Willa B. Player and Mrs. Julius W. Cone of Greens boro, chairman of the Buildings nad Grounds Committee were giv en authoritty to enter into nego tiations with the Housing and Home Finance Agency of the fed eral government for assistance. The new dormitory will house 106 students. The trustees also authorized the implementation of fringe benefits to faculty and staff members through the establishment of a ma jor medical insurance plan imder the Teachers Insturance and An nuity Association (TIAA), with the participants and the adminis- tiration sharing the costs on a SO SO basis. Dr. Frederick W. Patterson, of New York City, board chairmEm, who presided, was requested to ap point at an early date a Develop ment Committee to be composed of What do adult citizens believe to be the best ways to combat juvenile delinquency — today one of the nation’s gravest domestic problems—one that has leaders in aU levels of government deeply concerned. To find what suggestions the or dinary people on the street have for dealing with the ever growing problem of juvenile delinquency MAN ON THE STREET and his people put this question to people in all walks of life: “What one suggestion do you have for dealing with juvenile de- Unquency?” A tabulation of the answers shows that 10 suggestions for curbing juvenile delinquency are uppermost on the minds of the ordinary man and woman on the street. Here they are: 1. More home supervision: par ents aren’t liviug up to their re sponsibilities; parents should keep closer touch on what their clill- dren are doing; parents should know where the children are at all times. 2. Stricter parents: More dis cipline in the home; parents thould stop coddling the children; more good old-fashioned bringing up; more parental discipline. 3. Parents should spend more time with “Kids:” Mothers and lathers should stay home more; give children more home life and ;ewer baby sitters. 4. More supervised recreation al activities: More playgrounds and recreational centers; mjore supervised group play activities during summer months. 5. Have more police to handle young people: Need more police assigned to take care of younger people; more police on duty dur ing evening hours; more police engaged in preventive work among young people. 6. Give police more authority: Police should be stricter *with authority to get tough when neces sary; police should be given per mission to crack down; let police get tough with juvenile delin quents. 7. Stricter discipline in the schools: Children should learn what discipline means in school; stop coddling them in the schools; trustees, faculty - staff, students, graduates, and members of the Greensboro community, to draft a program of long-range develop ment for the college over a 10- year period. President Player, in making her annual report to the board, was assisted by the college’s Danforth Community Workshop team, com posed of Mrs. Louise G Streat, Dr. Chauncey Winston, Jsunes C. McMillan, and Francis L. Grandi- son. The trustees also heard reports from the Investment, Budget and Finance, and Buildings and Grounds Committees, and voted to hold their annual meeting on Oc tober 17, 19S9. Mrs. E. L. Hillman, of Durham, recently elected to take the place of the late Mrs. W. H. C. Goode, was introduced. Prior to their meeting, the trus tees went to Pfeiffer Chapel for a memorial service for Mrs W. H. C. Goode, one of the original found ers of the institution as a coUege for women. Dr. Patterson presided and Mrs. J. N. Rodeheaver, board member from Winona Lake Indi- Schools should stop being too easy on the youngsters. 8. Have a curfew: Have early curfew; have 10 o’clock curfew for all under 17 unless accompanied by an older adult. 9^ Parents should have more guidance: Educate the parents to their responsibilities; parents should be taken in hand and trained while their children are still young. 10. Working mothers should work only if absolutely necessary: Mothers should .stop working if it means a hardship on the children; stop work if it means neglecting the children; stop if all it means is trying to keep up with the Joneses. —Reprinted from Lynn Daily Itenn Report From Journal (Continued from Page 3) work feel their children would be no better off if they had more time with them; 81 per cent are satis fied with the arrangements they have made for child care. Dr. John Bowlby, child psychia trist, expresses much concern about! the welfare of children de prived of their mothers’ compan ionship. He says, “Young children need some one person whom they know and trust to mother them. Children must have some one per son to look after them; it must not change every month or year; child care must have continuity or there is trouble.” The Journal poll shows that most of the women who left jobs to rear their families admit they miss the companionship, the sense of being part of the world of affairs, and the feeling of independence they had wbUe employed. What is to be done to enable these women to feel more satisfied? Dr. Mirra Komar ovsky, sociology professor, pre dicts the solution may be found in a new design for living which is evolving. “First, when you are young, have your children, and as they go to school, work part-time, and as they leave for college, be come fully employed.” ana, delivered the tribute to Mrs. Goode. Following the board meeting, the trustees attlended a luncheon in the economics dining room, and from 4 to 6 p. m., they were honored at a tea with faculty-staff members M at the president’s home. “Since our nation must be guided by the rule of law, American citi zens cannot, therefore, decide which laws they will obey and v/hich laws they will ignore,” Dr. Patterson told the vesper audience at Bennett College Sunday morn- Dr. Patterson, former president of Tuskegee Institute at Tuskegee, Alabama, and presently president of the Phelps-Stokes Foundation and chairman of the Bennett Board of Trustees, was referfing to the efforts of some southern states to resist the decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court calling for an end to segregation in public schools. “The furor in the press about what is happening in Arkansas and Virginia,” he declared, “reflects the results of efforts to evade rath er than to comply with the law. This is largely the work of un scrupulous and self-seeking poli ticians.” Referring to the recent bomb ings of churches and synagogues, Dr. Patterson said, “These inci dents, terrible as they are, reflect the frustration and unhappiness of those ill-equipped to meet the strain and stress of living. They have too few resources with which to meet the real or imagined hard ships they face, so they lash out in blind fury to hurt others. Anger and violent outburst reflect per sonal inadequacy and may be a companion of diseases of the mind or the body.” Teacher Exams To Be Held In February The National Teacher Examina tions, prepared and administered annually by Educational Testing Service, will be given at 2S0 cen ters throughout the United States on Saturday, February 7, 1959.
