TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1956 E CAMPUS ECHO PAGE FIVE Temple's Talk By SHIRLEY TEMPLE JAMES The EAGLE, NCC yearbook has been “awarded” $300 of the CAMPUS ECHO’S budget by the Student Congress upon pro posal by the yearbook editors in cooperation with the Student Government Prexy who approv ed the legislation of the Congress. The direct cut of the CAMPUS ECHO budget without the con sent of the edi tor of the ECHO| or the adviser! seems not only; to be a diploma tic blunder by the Student Government but an act of retro-l gression in the Student Govern- ■ ment for organi- MISS JAMES zations directly responsible to it. However, the action does not end here. The CAMPUS ECHO has made progress in the past four years, and it has made tremend ous progress in the past two years especially. It was during this time that its financial status was stably established; it won its second and third “excellent” ratings from the Associated Col legiate Press; it also won the “superior” rating from the same association; it held the first Pub lications Conference for high school students in North Caro lina and gave its first full tui tion scholarship. Do you call this progress? If you do, then the Student Con gress and Student Government have by their actions relieved the ECHO of any responsibility to continue such progress or move further in the area of im provement of the paper, of the ?iTns of the Student Government, and of its service to the Student body. Does charity really start at home? CALHOUN ARRIVAL No group of students or no school can be any prouder than we are of Lee Calhoun and his going to the Olympics and, most of all, his upset win over Jack Davis. On behalf of the Calhoun Committee on Arrival, I would like to say that we deeply ap preciate the cooperation of the Durham Chamber of Commerce, Durham Business and Profession al Chain and Duke University for aiding us in our plans. We would also like to say that may the best of luck and happiness for all his endeavors go tp Cal houn from all of us. ALL-STARS During the past week in which high school football placers from all over the state were with us for a football clinic and the All- Star game on Saturday, we cer tainly appreciate the courtesies that were shown to them by the entire study body and I feel that we have made in them some real friends for NCC. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. Meet The Faculty History Professor Deems Teaching His Primary Mission By ANDRESS TAYLOR The year 1910 is an important one to North Carolina College, for two reasons: one is the ob vious fact that the college was founded in that year; another is the less obvious fact that profes sor Caulbert A. Jones was born in late Autumn of the same year. Although Worth Carolina Col lege and Mr. Jones started out in the world together, much was to transpire before the two should meet. In 1932, while North Carolina College was struggling to become a first rate liberal arts school, Mr. Jones graduated from How ard University with honors in history: as an undergraduate he was awarded the Howard Univ ersity History Key and appoint ed to the editorship of the His torical Society News. Immediate ly after graduating from How ard, he entered Columbia Univ ersity as a graduate student in history, leaving two years later with the A. M. degree in history. During 1935 and a part of the next year, Mr. Jones served as Research Associate to the Ma yor’s Commission on Conditions in Harlem under E. Franklin Frazier, Howard University’s great sociologist who headed that body. In the fall of 1936, Mr. Jones accepted his first teaching position; he went to Shaw University in Raleigh as instructor in history. Two years later he was appointed head of the department of history and in 1940, chairman of the division of social science, a position he held until 1947, when he was per suaded by Dr. Shepard to join the faculty here as professor of history. Since he first joined the fac ulty here, Mr. Jones has been conspiciously active with stu dent groups. In keeping with the idea of student-faculty co operation as outlined in our philosophy of Student i Self- Direction, he has served as ad visor to more than twenty-five student groups. He is the advisor to the Student Government and to Phi Alpha Theta, North Caro lina College’s Chapter of the National History Honor Society, which he established here in 1953. He has also served repeatedly as advisor to the junior and sen ior classes and to the EAGLE, the North Carolina College yearbook, which dedicated its 1952 edition to him as the ideal instructor. C. A. JONES When asKed about his research experiences, Mr. Jones replied that he considers himself pri marily a teacher and any re search which he has under taken was done in order that he might contribute more to his classes. Although he is not pri marily concerned witli research, Mr. Jones has in his huge thou sand volume private library many rare books on the history of Africa, among which is Leo Africanus’ History of Africa, first published in 1600. He says that his library is an adequate defense against the temptation of television, which sometimes wrecks havoc in academic cir cles. In reply to the question “What is your philosophy of educa tion?” Mr. Jones’ stated that his students could give the best an swer to this question. He went on to say, however, that his main objective in class is to stimulate students to think. Mr. Jones’ success as a teach er has been complimented by' the students themselves by the dedication of the 1952 EAGLE, but his success is perhaps more self evident in the less formal compliment of his many students who refer to him as “the teacher who has never once held a dull class.” In addition to being listed in the Directory of American Scho lars and Who’s Who in American Education, Mr. Jones holds mem bership in the following academic societies: The Academy of Po litical Science: the Illinois State Historical Society; the Associa tion for the Study of Negro Life and History; American Studies Association; the National Council for the Social Studies and the Mississippi Valley Historical As sociation.

One of her pet statements hasi already been mentioned; but perhaps this last statement gives the real clue to her suc-i cess at NCC. This statement is, “I especially enjoy meeting people and doing things which I think others will enjoy.” the taste is great! FILTER TIP TAREYTON ^liopycT Of ambuca’s uaoinc MA«UMcru«ft of ciOAgmts \
