THE CLARION Southeastern Community College Page 2. September 1966 PML Gets New Coordinator On the campus of Southeastern Commimity College, students and adults have available one of the newest ideas in education-the Programmed Materials Labora tory. At first glance, the PML seems to be a sort of library. A closer look reveals that it is devoted entirely to programmed materials. A programmed textbook might be called an “automated” text. The material to be learned is broken down into a series of small steps, called frames. In each frame, the learner is asked a question. When he answers the question, he is immediately told the correct answer. In this way, the learner begins with simple material and progresses into more difficult material, checking his progress and cor recting any errors as he moves along. A coordinator gives tests from time to time, but the indi vidual is free to progress at his own rate, govern^ by the amount of time he has for work and by his own enthusiasm. Students may use the materials to help them over the “rough spots” in their college courses or to improve their educational background. The materials can also be used in preparation for college. Adults will find a com plete program to help them com plete hig^i school. More than forty subjects can be studied in the PML. In the reading and language areas are reading instruction at all levels, practice and drill in individual reading skills, vocabulary devel opment, spelling, punctuation.

With the opening of the fall quarter, a slight change will be made in the PML schedule, new daytime hours will be from 10:40- 4; 30 Monday through Thursday and from 7:00-10:00 p.m. Mon day and Wednesday. Chadbourn Book Is Off The Press Accreditation Dr. David Kelly of the South ern Assocition of Colleges and Schools has requested that a committee visit the SCC campus during the fall quar ter. Upon approval of the As sociation, Southeastern Com munity College will begin a Self Study program in the Spring quarter. Dr. King will attend a re gional training conference during this month. The pur pose of the conference is to give assistance to colleges wishing to begin their Self Study and to make application for accreditation. A book written by a Chadbourn man has been published and will be released by The News Re porter next week. The late Mr. Glenn Strole of Chadbourn had just finished a non fiction account of the early settlers of his town, “Chadbourn and her Sunny South Colony”, just before his death in March of this year. Mrs. Glenn F. Strole, the widow of Mr. Strole, who resides in Chadbourn. gave his reason for writing the book: “He wanted to preserve the history of the colony after the older people passed on so that the younger generation would know the story. The story had never been told before.” Mrs. Strole said that her hus band had worked off and on, most ly on rainy days and at his con venience, for almost a year. She stated that the first two install ments on the book appeared in the newspaper shortly before his death. Mr. Strole entered Wake For est in 1912 aixl received both his A.B. and law degrees, in 1916. Even though he passed the bar exam, he never practiced law. After completing his educa tion he enlisted in the army in 1917, where he served as lieuten ant. During the first world war he was wounded and received an honorable discharge in 1919. Mr. Strole was a distinguished farmer and dairyman in Chad bourn, He was iso known as a persistent worker in the Chad bourn Baptist Church where he served as a Sunday school teach- GLENN F. STROLE er and deacon. He served as finance chairman of the recreation center in Chad bourn and was a member of the American Legion post in White- ville where he once served as district commander for a year. Before sitting down to write “Chadbourn and her Sunny South Colony” he had previously writ ten two unpublished works, “The History of Uie Waccamaw Bank”, which gave the history of the bank from 1921 until now, and the his tory of his own re^ment, “The Story of the 37th Infantry in World War I.” The limited publishing of “Chadbourn and her Sunny South Colony” may be purchased in the office supply department of The News Reporter. .Certain persons have made shipwreck of their faith” (I Tim. 1:19), SCC Will Compete In Intercollegiate Events Southeastern will enter inter collegiate athletic competition officially this year for the first time by participating In a basket ball program, when asked what kind of team to expect, CoachJoe Nance stated that “it would be Impossible to predict at this time since we have no idea of the boys who will play for us.” This year's schedule is still Incomplete. However, nine games have been schedided and six more have tentatively been arranged. “We've been invited to play as one of four teams in the Carolina Military Academy In vitational Tournament at Max- ton in January,” said Nance. The Student Government As sociation has appropriated funds for the athletic department and for intramural activities. The majority of this appropriation will be used for the purchasing of basketball uniforms, basket ball travel, and fees for basket ball officials. The remainder of the appropriation is to be used in the intramural department. “We hope that we can really upgrade the program by providing compensation for Intramural of ficials and adding incentive by providing small troirfiies or plaques for the winners. As you well know, our Intramural pro gram was no where near what It should have been last year. We hope that the students will show much more interest this year,” said Mr. Nance. There will be an Intramural bulletin board in the lobby of the gym this year where Informa tion about Intramural activities can be found. Mr. Nance stated, “We hope that every student will find the time to participate in at least one activity. Our goal is 100% participation.” Nov, 19 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE College of the Albemarle Home Dec. 10 Carolina MiUtary Academy Home Dec. 17 Sandhills Away Jan. 5 Gaston Home Jan. 7 Sandhills Home Jan. 20 CMA Invitational Maxton 21 CMA Invitational Maxton Jan. 28 College of the Albemarle Away Feb. 3 Gaston Away ¥ ■K ■K + ■K -K -K -K -K -K -K -K ■K -K -K -K M -K -K -K -K ■K ■K ■K ■K ■K ■K ■K -K * -K * ■K ■K ■K -X -K ■K -K * ■k ■K -K -K ■K -K -K -K *■ ■K •K -K ¥ ¥ (Reprinted from the bulletin of the First Methodist Church, Cherryville, N. C.) By JACK GRIFFIN When Johnny was six years old, he was with his father when they were caught speeding. His father handed t!?e officer a five-dollar bill with his driver’s license “It’s O.K., Son,” his father said as they drove off. “Everybody does it.” When he was eight, he was permitted at a family council, presided over by Uncle George, on the surest means to shave points off the income tax return. “It’s O.K., Kid,” his uncle said. “Everybody does it.” When he was nine, his mother took him to his first theater production. The box of fice man couldn’t find any seats until his mother discovered an extra two dollars in her purse. “It’s O.K., Son,” she said. “Everybody does it.” When he was twelve, he broke his glasses on the way to school. His Aunt Francine persuaded the insurance company that they had been stolen and they collected $27.00. “It’s O.K., Kid,” she said “Every body does it.” When he was fifteen, he made right guard on the high school football team. His coach showed him how to block and at the same time grab the opposing end by the shirt so the official couldn’t see it. “It’s O.K., Kid,” the coach said. “Everybody does it.” When he was sixteen, he took his first summer job at the big market. His assign ment was to put the over-ripe tomatoes in the boxes and the good ones on top where they would show. It’s O.K., Kid,” the man ager said. “Everybody does it.” When he was eighteen, Johnny and a neighbor applied for a college scholarship. Johnny was a marginal student. His neigh bor was in the upper three per cent of his class, but he couldn’t play right guard. Johnny got the scholarship. “It’s O.K., Kid,” they told him. “Everybody does it.” When he was nineteen he was ap proached by an upperclassman who offered him a set of test questions for three dollars. “It’s O.K., Kid,” he said. “Everyone does it.” Johnny was caught and sent home in disgrace. “How could you do this to your mother?” His father asked. “You never learned anything like this at home.” His aunt and uncle were shocked also. If There’s anything the adult world can’t stand, it’s a kid wha cheats . . GI Checks Mailed The first checks under the GI Bill education program, more than 16,000 of them, were mailed out last month by the Veterans Administration to veterans attending sum mer schools throughout the nation. The first payments were for the month of June and most of them were received by July 20. According to W. R, PhilUps, manager of the Winston-Salem VA Regional OfHce, payments will be made only after the VA receives the certiflcates of attendance from the veteran, or from the schools. In addition, Phillips warns students enrolling under the GI Bill in the fall that it will take about two months for the first check to arrive.
