Horse-Shoes Rites Of Sprii^ with the coming of spring, the Student Lounge population moves outside. This group seems oblivious to the fact that exams are “just around the corner.” By KIPLING SHERRILL MERCER Southeastern Community Col lege plans to open a surprise package in basketball competi tion next year. Coach Joe Nance feels that with some hard prac tice sessions, the S.C.C. team will definitely he Improved. The highlight of this sports season came against Sandhills Community College, with the stars from our intramural teams. Although Sandhills beat us twice, Southeastern’s top scorers, Israel Cromartie, James Brown, Sherrill Mercer, and Jimmy Bur ris shortened the gap with such averages as 30, 26, 21, 20 points per game to give the very sparse crowd a thrill at times by making the game close. With fine ballhandlers such as these and the new recruits coming to Southeastern next year, we should have a very successful season. Tentative plans call for as many as 15 games with other Community Colleges. With hard work. Southeastern Community College should be engaged in a permanent intercollegiate bas ketball league within the next couple of years. This warm weather we have had has been an excellent oppor tunity to get out the “old racket.’' FH Southeastern, the tennis court has frequently been filled with enthusiastic beginners. At pres ent, several boys and the girls are engaged in a “round-robin” tournament; the participants show ample skill. May be a futiure tennis team is in the making.

It was fun trying to pull the flag out of a pocket, but many boys had to buy new shorts after a game. Intramurals were very well organized, although the beavers won the championship game after much controversy. We hope to make this a g^ame for every one to enjoy. Who knows? at the rate South eastern Community College is growing, we are liable to have intercollegiate play in this. So to the boys that never played footbsdl, com^ out next fall. We promise to give your many mo ments of pain, hard-hitting, hard- running, and fun. Intramural sports as a w^iole this year were very performed but the lack of spirit from you, our students, left very much to be desired. How can we ever hope to have any intercollegiate ath letics if no one, but the players, shows any interest? Oar game with Sandhills was one of much disgrace, with only about thirty fans showing up, mo^ of whom were high school age. Are we going to “begin” or “end” our sports this year? Ifweareto ever have any hopes of playing intercollegiate sports, students at Southeastern must get on the ball and show some spirit. So, try and make it a point to redeem, get off the “ole- grind” and get in “the groove” of things. Show some spirit and determination. We have the honor of being the first at S.C.C., let’s set an example for Incoming students and begin supporting a sports program instead of putting an end to them. knowledge to the more difficult. With each step the student responds to show what he has learned. Tests are given at Intervals by the coordinator.

These are the Junius K. Powell Scholar ship and the Blue Jeans Corpora tion Scholarship. Both scholarships will be awarded annually to any worthy and deserving student who attends Southeastern. For eligibility for the Blue Jeans Corporation Scholarship, one must be an em ployee of Blue Jeans, or a mem ber of an employee’s family. To receive the scholarships, one must have demonstrated leadership ability and the capaci ty for advanced learnings. The applicant must be of good charac ter and have the recommendation of his high school principal as well as a desire and a willingness to complete a college education and must need financial assist ance. This year Pam Buckler was the reclpent of the Powell Scholar ship, and Mike Spradley received the Blue Jeans Corporation Award. Application forms and addi tional information concerning these scholarships may be ob tained from S.C.C. or from Jim Rodenborn of the Blue Jeans Corporation, Whiteville, North Carolina. To Conunittee in the state. They will meet separately three times during the year and will have a final meeting in the fall with all committees and state commissioners repre sented. The object of these committees studies is to arrive at a standard ization of general educational requirements for colleges and universities in the state. Standardization will enable a stu dent taking a course, accepted by the state commission, to have that course transferred to any college in the state. The recommendation will in clude both junior and senior col lege transfers; however, if adopted, only the first two years of college courses will become standardized. Mr. Clifton stated that “these committees were promoted be cause of the up-siirge in junior colleges.” He further added that enrollment in junior col leges will double within the next two years.” Are women the weaker sex? They live to a riper old age than men and their ratio is growing. There are now 129 females for every 100 males who are 65 or over and by 1985 it may be 143 to 100. Of the 18 million people in the United States who have passed the 65 age mark, 23 million more are women. By 1975 experts pre dict female strength will rise to 3.3 million: a decade later, to 4.5 million. Why do women live longer? Perhaps they are the stronger sex. Some scien tists agree; they point out that women visit their doctors more frequently, have more effective hormone systems, and allow their emotions freer play.
