T. C NEEDS SCHOOL SPIRIT
School spirit, which is a significant constituent of an ideal
college student body, seems to be lacking at the Winston-Salem
Teachers College. Among the students, there appears to be a lack
of interest in the student government as well as a lack of interest
in other activities offered by the college.
The students at Teachers College show what they can do once
a year, and that is during the Miss T. C. Campaign. For this grand
event, numerous preparations are made by both the junior and
senior classes; consequently, the students of both classes excel
and put their ideas to work during the three days of campaigning.
Why doesn’t this type of spirit prevail during the entire year
among the student body?
How interested are you as a student in the student govern
ment? It appears as though students are not interested. Included
in your fees at the beginning of the year is a fee of one dollar.
Not one student has been interested enough to inquire as to the
programs the student government has planned for the use of this
fee.
Not only has the student government received no inquiries,
but it has not received any complaints or suggestions from the
student body. Could it be that the students are not thinking or
that they see no room for improvement on the Winston-Salem
Teachers College Campus?
The student body not only shows disinterest in the student
government but also shows distinterest in the football team. There
was no school spirit shown at the football games this season. What
has happened to the “good ole T. C. spirit”?

Inspiring
Personality
How often do we find a wo
man of high attainments, of emi
nent scholarship and wise de
cision, a woman who can act
quickly, generously and, almost
invariably, rightly? How often
do we find in one woman such
a high degree of courageous
leadership, such mobile, yet
adroit, skill in planning affairs?
Her “ivory tower” was one that
was filled with the joys of liv
ing.
A brief acquaintance left on
me the impression of her broad
scholarship, her penetrating
mind, her high integrity and her
wonderful sense of humor. Long
friendship deepened the original
imprint.
There was no particle of bana
lity in Miss Elva V. James, who
served as a teacher, advisor, and
friend to everyone at Teachers
College for 19 years. She kept
her spirit and her intellect
swept wind-clean. No rubbish
was to be found in the spacious
reaches of her mind and per
sonality.
Certainly the realization of a
school paper on The Winston-
Salem Teachers College campus
must have been one of the fond
est dreams of this devoted wo
man, for she sought every ave
nue to allow students to grow in
their ability to express themsel
ves adequately and to instruct
others in this skill. This first
issue of The News Argus would
be incomplete without this me
morial tribute.
One always had the feeling
that Miss James’ clear-cut ap
praisal of a situation had been
arrived at only after a thorough
investigation of all facts.
She encouraged able people to
do more than they otherwise
would have done. Though she
did not seek popular acclaim,
everyone admired her rich and
colorful character and respected
her decisions.
She gave generously of her
great strength to the cause of
education, to morale building,
and to the welfare of young peo
ple as well as adults. She felt
the importance of her task and
performed it without thought of
self. We shall miss the clarity
and decisiveness of her thinking,
the warmth, and understanding
of her friendly, beautiful spirit;
and we are richer for having
known and worked with her.

How We Can Make Various Changes
The Winston-Salem Teachers College is in the midst of a great
change. This change involves everyone and everything connected
with this renowned institution.
As an illustration of this change, one may take note of the
faculty. The faculty is constantly changing and being improved
to meet the needs of the future. We are acquiring more qualified
individuals with higher degrees and various backgrounds.
Another illustration of this change involves the administra
tion. On November 11, 1962 our present president was officially
inaugurated as the third president of this famous seat of learning.
The buildings and grounds show more evidence of this change.
Along with the new girls dormitory, there has been a great change
in the administration building so far as office space is concerned.
Along with these changes the student body must change also.
We, the students of the Winston-Salem Teachers College, will have
to wake up and put our shoulders to the wheel of progress. We
must become more aware of our responsibilities in this secular
space age. We must seek the truth in the things of the world. We
must raise our standards. We must commit ourselves to some
particular and worthwhile goal, and then work toward the ac
complishment of that goal.
We, the students, must realize that if we tarry too long we
will become stagnant. We must realize that if we are to keep in
step with the change we must become a more informal, aggressive,
sincere, and dedicated student body.
Therefore, I challenge the students to keep abreast with the
ever changing times. I challenge the student body to become more
informed and more dedicated to the cause.
