NCC Law School Wins Praise In Moot Court Competition Two students from the North Carolina College School of Law participated in the National Moot Court Competition at the University of Richmond, Rich mond, Virginia, November 11th and 18th. Representing the North Caro lina College School of Law were Russell Washington, a senior from Dillwyn, Virginia and Richard Young, also a senior, from Seattle, Washington. The team drew a “bye” in the first round of the arguments and argued against the team repre senting the Law School of the University of North Carolina in the quarter finals. Although the University of North Carolina team won in the quarter finals, the law students from North Carolina College drew the praise of the Chief Justice for their quality of participation and demonstration of ability to think on th^ir feet, The thief Justice took more than an hour to reach a decision. He commented that, “It took a magnifying glass to determine which team had won the argu ments.” The Chief Justice also stated that the students from NCC argued the case as if they were experts in the field of interna tional law. Callis Brown of Durham, (Continued on Page 4) Terry Sanford, Governor of North Carolina, visited North Carolina College on November 16, and addressed the 2 o’clock meeting of the North Carolina Conference of Resource-Use Education in the B. N. Duke Auditorium. Invoking the theme of the conference, “Quality Teaching and Learning Through Conser vation and Resource-Use Educa tion Practice,” Sanford stated that much has to be done with little time in which to do it. He further declared the demands of resources increase day by day. The answer lies in education. The governor then stated, “The task is to pick up the tools and get on with the job.” Remembering the aim of the conference and of resource-use— “Leave the world as rich as it was found,” implies that the people must spare no effect for the development of the mental and physical ability. Sanford contended that with much un derstanding and application, nature’s store-houses of wealth would be replenished, then the aim will be accomplished. The governor also commended the group for the work done. Sanford was introduced by the Honorable E. J. Evans, Mj^/or of Durham. Other Participants Dr. Grace L. Howell, program coordinator in the Department of Health Education and Wel fare; Dr. Margaret J. McKibben, science specialist, also of that department; and Dr. John P. McIntyre d,irector of curriculi, of the Joint Council on Econo mic Education of New York, also played prominent roles in the two-day conference.

Turning out in rather small numbers, the voters of North Carolina rejected the Sanford administration’s bonds, which would have provided money for the improvements and expan sion of many facilities through out the state. As a result, North Carolina College will not im mediately receive funds for the building of two new dormitories, a student union building and en largement of the cafeteria, which are of paramount imjwr- tance. Many who favored passage of the bond issue had confidently felt that ;they would be ap proved. A great number of state officials, including Terry San ford, who proposed the bonds to the last session of the state legislature, campaigned slightly for the bond issue. Students from state supported colleges throughout the state participated in a “Torch for Education Marathon” in which a torch was relayed by the va- (continued on page 4)
