r Tuesday, October 31, 1967 THE CAMPUS ECHO Page Five Poet Visits NCC On Tour Of South Announcements United Nations Day Observed By Winford Hooker A. B. Spellman, poet from New York City on a tour of the South, visited the campus of North Carolina College October 16-20. Spellman, an Elizabeth City, N. C. native, visited primarily English classes where he read. and explained his poetry. His style consists primarily of drop- line verse, short lines and he occasionally leaves spaces in the lines. These forms according to the poet, are used to show cer tain images and to give empha sis to particular words. The bearded poet, currently on tour that will carry him to such campuses as Fisk Univer sity, Morehouse College, Miles College and Tougaloo College, said that he originally copied other poets" styles, but that Swingline Test yourself...

The tour, sponsored jointly by a Woodrow Wilson Founda tion program and a National Foundation of the Arts, will bring four other northern poets to southern colleges and univer sities, including North Carolina, College. Spellman, a 1956 graduate of Howard University who hasi lived in New York City for the past nine years says, “I writei pwetry because it’s what I do. It’s my job.” In addition to poetry, Spell man also writes prose and other things such as liner notes for record jackets. He is currently working on a novel on black militancy. Spellman’s first volvime, en titled The Beautiful Days, was published in 1965 by the Poets Press in New York. Dianne M Prime is head of the firm. He plans to complete another vol ume within the year. The 32-year-old poet writes primarily of his surroundings and feels that his poems have been well accepted because his writing is accessible and honest. Leroi Jones was very influ ential in helping Spellman both as a teacher and friend. Jones also helped him publish his first volxmie. Spellman feels that modem poetry is different from early, poetry in language and form. Modern poets, he says, are not limited because they do not fol low any set rules. The poet is pleased to be on the tour. He feels that it is a worth-while program because it exposes areas to his and other poets’ works that ordinarily would not be exposed to them. Spellman, who is married and has one child, says that being married motivates him to write while at the same time stabili zes him. -Political Science- (Continued from Page 3) Dwight Yarborough, who in terned as a personnel specialist with the Durham city Manag ers’ office for the summer, shared some of his experiences with the members of the club.

More than ever before, the Negro youth has the opportunity and the re sponsibility to establish his goals in education, economics, and politics at new breakthrough levels.” “The call for separatism strikes a responsive chord in an undertermined number of Ne groes,” Williams said, “particu larly the Negro youth. Clearly the slogans for separatism hold an appeal, too, for the middle (See Students Urged, Page 6) A Lover’s Prayer Dear God— from whom all life begins and ends, from whom all emotions, both secular and religious flourish, from whom the strength to resist the evil and enticement of the world. through faith, love, truth, and understanding comes We, humbly and unpreten tiously, kneel before you be seeching your mercy and your blessing. If this intense emotion that we feel for each other is love and if this love is genuine and true, we ask that you aid us in opening our eyes, our hearts, and our minds in revealing our sentiments to each other. Lord, We have been beset with many afflictions, with doubt, and with disbelief. We ask that you give us the courage to face these tribula-i tions in a manner which befits one of your children. We ask that you give us the clear mind to make wise deci sions and the foresight to look forward with thoughtful regard and with prudent provision for the future. We ask that you show us the real meaning of love and its gratification. If, at any time, we act in any manner contrary ta your moral law, we ask that you turn us from thisjpath and lead us to righteousness. Make us truly thankful for the many blessings that thou hast bestowed upon us. We ask these blessings in the name of our Lord and Savioiu:, Jesus Christ. On October 22, at 7 o’clock P.M. in room 304 of the Com merce Building, the Political Science Club observed United Nations Day. The International Organizations class, instructed by Dr. V. Wurfel, presented to the club a program entitled, “What to do About the Egyptian and Palestine Problem.” Each member of the class represented a nation and simulated a lively Security Council meeting. With nine members in the class, nine nations (instead of the normal 15), were represented. Mrs. Katherine Davis represented Great Britain; Mrs. Gloria Fredericks, France; Mrs. Fran cis Puryear, Nigeria; Priscilla McNeil, Japan; Ernestine Jett, Haiti; Grova Bridges, the United States; Charles Scott, the U.S.S. R.; and Wilbur Myatt, National ist China. The participants docu mented their speeches from the United Nations Press releases, relating to the audience, which act as General Assembly, their ideas, viewjwints and resolu tions. To enable the rest of the Poli tical Science Club members to participate in the discussion, the Security Council deliberately failed to settle or resolve the Egyptian - Palestine question. This manuever forced the Se curity Council to present the problem to the General Assem bly, where it provoked spirited debate. ■Aid Provided- (Continued from Page 1) tails of the service program, are in their mid-twenties and are not far removed from the College scene. Currently they are an in tegral part of New York’s single swinging set. Mr. Janis, a grad uate of Tulane Law School, en visioned the A. U. S. project while a student at the London School of Economics and Politi cal Science. To date the idea has met with the immediate ap proval of college personnel, em bassy officials, and students themselves. Inquiring Reporter (Continued from Page 2) Jeffrey Borden, Senior, Political Science Major To me, “Black Power” is the struggle for political and eco nomical power. It is a move ment whereby Negro money will be put in his own community so that he can benefit. Negro busi nesses would be able to identify themselves with the businesses of their counterparts. In short, Black Power is the struggle of black people who are trying to reach their highest potentials. * * • Douglas Gills, Senior History Major Black Power connotes inde pendency and the union of eco nomical, political, and social re sources of Black America. It is a movement which seeks to. raise the level of living among Negroes to a level comparable to that of the white structure. Black Power is a term that should mean ideally the pro gressive competition of Black America and not ideally destruc tion of the white structure. * * * Grova Bridgers, Senior Political Science Major The concept of Black Power has a variety of definitions. Nevertheless, I would like to think of Black Power not only in terms of economic security and political efficiency for black people but also in terms of the psychological awareness the concept connotes. This psycholo gical awareness seems to supply a “new identity” for black pieo- ple. Such an identity provided black people with an apprecia tion of their black past and with a different perception of their future. Therefore, this aware ness is the initial framework for meeting the objective condi tions which black people face. SAM'S PAWN SHOP INC.
