D. THORPE On February 6, 1952 this writer had the honor and pri vilege to discuss freely some of the facts and figures that keep NCC an up-to-date college. President Elder revealed that the students of NCC pay less than half the cost of running the school yearly. He expects the total cost for this fiscal year to be $1,475,693.68 with the stu dents paying only $656,671.68. The remainder of this expense ($819,022) to be paid through the aid of the State Legislature. To date, (excluding new buil dings) NCC has spent $659,067- .04 for the total cost of this years operation while the stu dents have paid only $325,146.- 84. Prexy was quick to add that this institution as a whole is a non-profit organization. Com menting on the fact that some of the students at NCC, who are on work scholarships feel that they should receive more pay and less hours, prexy said that “We want to get as much out of every dollar as possible.” “The reason for this,” added President Elder, “is to be able to help as many under-privileged students as possible.” When asked what in dex he used to determine the number of under-privileged stu dent, prexy answered, by ask ing, “Did you ever see or notice the line in the student loan or pay extension offices” The next questions that I ask ed Dr. Elder were, why does this school not have a third meal on Sunday; why aren’t students al lowed to visited their friends in the infirmary, and what was the outcome of the recent request for room and maid service here? To these question Prexy smiled and nearly laughed out loud. After composing himself he re plied, “As for the Sunday third meal, we try to give our dining hall staff a little time off. We don’t allow students to visit their friends in the Infirm ary, not because of social rea- (Please turn to Page Four) Tuesday, February 12, mark ed the inauguration of one more attempt by the powers that be here on the NCC campus to pro vide tutoring services for scho lastically deficient members of the student body. The ECHO should like to add its emotions to the mixed ones which inevit ably greet any project of this nature, and wholeheartedly con gratulate the sponsors of the program. Guidance Director R. D. Russell and Dean A. E. Man ley along with the benelovent student tutors who are so graciously making free time available for the instruction of interested students. This entirely voluntary effort by representatives of Alpha Kappa Mu, Beta Kappa Chi, and studnts on the Dean’s List is a most noteworthy exemplifica tion of the spirit of service which everywhere pervades the demeanor of the typical North Carolina College students.

Death did not take a holiday when it came to lovely Janet King, former student at North Carolina College who trans fered to Howard University to complete her education in the schpol of Pharmacy. Janet, who allegedly met her death at the hands of a school mate Donall Tyler, was slain on Monday February 19, and buried at her home in Asheville on February 24. Janet was a student at North Carolina College for two years. While here she was ^n Honor student and very active in extra curricular affairs. During her Freshman year she was elected treasurer of the Freshman Class and Freshman representative to the Women’s Steering Commit of the Sophomore class in 1950 tee. Janet was electel secretary anl was a member of the Ivy Leaf Club of Alpha Kappa So rority. Janet was a well liked stu dent by all that came in contact with her. She had a fridencly disposition and made and ideal room-mate says her roommates of 1950 and 1951, Johnnrie M^ie Green, and Hannah Logan. Janet left NCC to go to Hov/- ard University in Washington, D. C. in order to study phar macy. While at Howard she was said to have made all A’s and to be active in many extra curricu lar affairs. Janet who lived in Wheatley Hall on Howard Campus, was said by her dormitory mates to have left the campus in tlie early part of the afternoon. It was also stated by the Dormi tory Directress that Janet did not sign out, which is a require ment of all resident girls. Her dormitory mates also stated that they did not know Tyler, but that she had dated several other students whom they did know. Janet’s bullet riddled boly was found around 8:30 on Mon day evening. All clues led to Donald Tyler also a student at Howard University. The alled ged killer was said to have bor rowed a friends car, Elliot, a pharmacist in the Nations Capi tol. When Elliot returned to his appartment lie found signs of a definite struggle in tlie apart ment. Tyler was not there. Ty lers books along with some of Janets clothing was found in the back of Elliots car. Tyler had been found in Chi cago after a 13 state alarm tod been sent out for his caiesi-'^ suspicion of murder. Tyler con fessed to the killing pleading that he had accidentally sliot her. Janet, a resident of Rutlier- fordton, N. C. is the only chila of Mrs. Bessie King, a school teacher of the same coty. The Funeral was lield on February 24, 1952. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, presi dent of Howard University, sent condolences to Mrs. King and stated that Janet had been an exceptional student. The Junior class of NCC sent flowers to the funeral alonv with Rush Hall, junior resident dormitory in which Janet resided last year when it was a sophomore-junior dormitory. Other classmates and friends of Janet’s, both here at NCC and at Howard, also sent letters of condolance. UMT Holds Key To NCCs Draft Eligible Males Future actions of the U. S. Congress will greatly affect the collegiate careers of N.C.C.’s dwindling male segment. Accor ding to Mrs. Frances R. Eagle- son, NCC Registrar, legislative action concerning UMT holds the key to how soon the average NCC draft eligiblee male may expect to receive notice of in duction. Mrs. Eagleson also indicated that as far as present regula tions are concerned students will be inducted or deferred at the discretion of their own local' boards. One student, she said, was ordered to report for induction after having received three stu dent deferments. Another young man in similar circumstances and also in attendance here, re ceived a deferment for the rest of the acadmic year. The major difference in their respective cases was that they were sub ject to different draft boards. Current Selective Service (Please turn to Page Four) S. W.
