Important changes have re cently been made in the admini stration of awards for faculty members. The majority are be ing announced almost three months earlier than last year, NCC Students Join Development In Latin America Five N. C. C. students have become members of develop ment teams to work this sum mer in Nicaraguan and El Sal vador. Rufus Goldston, Bruce Bergin, Minnie Roberson, Wal ter Brame, and Cressie Thigpen will be part of an effort begun three years ago to initiate com munity development programs and to foster better relation ships with Latin American neighbors. The projects involve students from N. C. C. and Duke, primarily, but this year one student from U. N. C. at Chapel Hill is also participating. Rufus Goldston, a junior po litical science major from Siler City, will participate in a group to resume the work in Pearl Lagoon, a village on the East Coast of Nicaragua. This is the location where Murphy Reyn olds and Irma Tucker of N.C.C. served last summer. There, where dugout canoes are the principal means of transpwrta- tion, teams have built a medical clinic, drilled a sanitary well, and initiated a birth control program. In Bluefields, Nicaragua, a town of somewhat larger size, Bruce Bergin, freshman from N. J., will be working to set up a science laboratory for the local high school, and will lead in various programs of athletics. A third team will work in the country of El Salvador in co-operation with the Peace Corps. This team led by Hank and Nancy Elkins will split up during the week to serve on the mobile health units, the primary education teams, and the agri cultural education units of the Peace Corps. On weekends they will come together in the city of San Salvador for seminars and recreation. N. C. C. mem bers of this team are Minnie Roberson, sophomore Spanish and history major from Dur ham; Walter Brame, sophomore p>olitical science major from Henderson; and Cressie Thig pen, sophomore business ad ministration major from Fay etteville. and they are listed in two book lets, one on research awards, the other on lectureships. The closing date for applying for re search awards is June 1, con siderably in advance of the date last year. Applications will be accepted for lectureship as long as they are available. While there is no fixed closing data for filing applications for lec tureships, persons interested in them are advised to apply be fore May 1, after which date regular screening procedures will be put into effect and available appointments will be gin to decrease in number. The schedule for nominating and se lecting both research and lec turing grantees is being accele rated. It is expected that, as a re sult of these changes, word of final action will reach appli cants sooner than in the past, enabling them and their insti tutions to plan with more tho roughness and with greater cer tainty for leaves of absence. By Christyal Brown Joyce Leane Perry, better known around our campus as "J. P.”, is Eagle of the Month for March. A very versatile young lady, Joyce has many in terests and extra curricular ac tivities which occupy her time. Here at NCC, Joyce is a sen ior majoring in Elnglish. She is president of the Women’s Steer ing Committee of the Women’s Assembly; a member and last year’s Basileus of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.; Keeper of Grades in the Pan-Hellenic Council; a member of the Stu dent Welfare Forum Commit tee and the Committee of Policy of Over-cutting. Joyce was also elected to Who’s Who in Ameri can College and Universities. At present, student teaching at Merrick-Moore High School in Durham County is demand ing very much of Joyce’s time. When asked about her student teaching, Joyce stated, “I am doing student teaching because I am seriously concerned with education on the secondary school level. I am interested in the development of individuals, and I believe that education plays one of the greatest, if not the greatest, role in the de velopment of an individual’s inate potential. I am anxiously looking forward to the teaching of English in a public school. I have chosen the discipline of English because it is the field in which I can delve with others with the greatest degree of en thusiasm. Joyce is intensely interested in the vast field of English liter ature. She states, “It must be remembered by an English teacher that the appreciation of literature will be underminded without an adequate knowledge of the medium of communica tion, and an adequate compe tence in the communication of the development of and dis agreement with those ideas about which the individual has read.” “As to my evaluation of the student teaching program here at NCC, I would certainly en dorse the general idea that the student teaching program is de sirable, if not essential, to the insurances that competent (See Eagles of Month, Page 4) JOYCE PERRY One half-fare ID card is as good as another on Eastern to Florida or 79 other places.
