Macke Vending Company has an office and kitchen in Lumberton, North Carolina. The food which southeastern's students get is made fresh daily in the Lumber ton kitchen. Southeastern has Invested ap- proximately $3000 in the new stu dent lounge. This does not in clude the cost of tables and Chairs.

The new student lounge is tem porary. when Buildings E is completed, it will house a perma nent student lounge. President Comer stated that the present lounge will be used for approxi mately two years. Southeastern’s students have displayed their pride in the new student lounge by virtue of the feict that the lounge is being kept clean. The litter problem has greatly diminished in the new lounge. Students who never ate in the old lounge are now seen in the new one. Mr. Comer is very pleased with the appearance of the lounge. SCC's students have proven that they appreciate this new lounge by their actions, LET’S KEEP IT THAT WAY, FELLOW STUDENTS! 1 SCC's President, E. Philip Comer and Larry Ro^s, President of SGA j cut the ribbon and officially open the new student lounge. 9^ llna have been published in news papers. The Goldsboro News on March 1 stated “She will give beauty and charm if she beats Pat Taylor. And she mi^t just lo that”. The Durham Morning Herald said that “Mrs. Harper can make her presence felt if she wages an active campaign, which her record in the Federa tion of women’s Clubs and other activities would indicate she plans to do”. WhUe at SCC Mrs. Harper was Interviewed by the Ram’s Horn. When asked about the democratic ticket for president, Mrs. Harper did not state her choice of can didates to head the ticket, how ever, she said “I intend to sup- ixjrt the democratic nominee for president” Her views on Viet Nam are that peace should be sought, but not at any price. Mrs, Harper further stated that she thou^t all Americans wanted thispeace- ful solution early. On state issues the candidate said that “eastern North Carolina is lag ging some in Education and I shall work, if elected, to close the gap between eastern North Carolina and the rest of the when asked about taxes she in dicated that all sources of revenue would be given equal con sideration before she would recommend any new taxes. “Spe cific items should not be singled out without giving full con sideration to other taxable items” stated Mrs. Harper. We believe that Margaret Harper left a good impression on many at SCC. Her mental agility in coping with the many issues at hand was evident by her display of poise and self con fidence at SCC. Past Students Reflect On SCC Upon analyzing responses from students who have attended South eastern Community College and are now enrolled in senior col leges some interesting facts cai. be discussed. Our open-door policy, our scholastic standards, and our advisory system have come into focus. First of all it is a fact that most students who transferred from SCC to four year insti tutions are not having any diffi culty at their present school. This is a reflection on our aca demic standards, and perhaps our open door policy. Some students are attending SCC who perhaps could not get in senior Institutions because they failed to make minimum scores on SAT tests and other required entrance exams. However, after attending SCC for two years the chances of them being successful in a four year college are good. This could imply two things. First, that SCC is doing a superb job with them or that devices used to de termine student’s qualifications such as SAT tests are the senior institutions are not showing the real potentials of a student. Finally, students answering questions sent to them by SCC are suggesting that we as stu dents give more consideration to the requirements of our senior college choice. Our advisors can play an important role in helping his advisees to determine just what courses are best for them to study while enrolled here at SCC. :a°d 56 ™ies 31 'NVo“Dem”eglnald Hawkins had 5.
