Room 101 in the Old Science
Building was a dark “hole in the
wall” after the chemistry store
room was moved to the New Sc-
ience Building in September.
The Home Economics Depart,
ment has need for a room as it
had been informed by the North
Carolina Teacher Certification
Committee on its visitation three
years ago that a seminar, ma

Will Visit Japan
Everline Mitchell, senior from
Dover, N.C., has been selected
by the Experiment in Interna
tional Living to Live abroad with
A Japanese family this summer.

that “communication is the key
to understanding another people

munication between visitor and-

conversational Japanese, So when
she leaves North Carolina in'

ed for Arizona and 100 hours of
language instruction. There she

Choir Adds
African Song
To Its List
Ellalene MacCaulay, junior of
Sierra Leone, East Africa, in
troduced a most welcome folk
song to the choir’s repertore
during its recent concert. Called
simply “Congo”, it tells of a
forlorn girl’s wish for death in
the river, for she cannot swim.
Almost reluctantly, Ellalene
sang the song for Mrs. Mary
Crawford and members of the
choir. Its interesting rhythm and
easily harmonized melody
“caught on” immediately and
became a most enjoyable addition
to the choir’s program.
EVERLINE MITCHELL
How did all this become pos-
sible? Everline, a $1,265 Sar
gent Shriver Scholar for gradu
ate study at the University of
Pittsburgh, feels that the op.
portunity is an outgrowth of a
campus interview for a possible
job. She was sent the information
and applications.-which had to be
accompanied by three references.
During the last three weeks of
the stay, the experiment group,
accompanied by members of their
host families, wiU participate in
an extensive travel period
throughout J^^m. This will be a
chance to see the host nation
through the eyes of its nationals.
This is firsthand opportunity to
develop friendships, learn the
customs and traditions, use the
language and participate in the
activities of the host countrj
from the vantage point of a fam
ily environment.
