Progress In Old Carolina
Speaking of progress it seems
as if North ('arolina is swinging
along slowly but surely in "the
r.'ght direction.
Did you know that the admis
sion of Negro students to the
North ('arolina Student Legisla
tive Assembly held in l^aleigh,
December (i and 7 interrupted a
precedent of almost a half cen
tury? No Negro has been on the
carpeted floors of the General
Assembly since 1899.
'Phere were over 25 Negro slu
dents present from several of o
Negro colleges. The delegation
fi’oni F. S. T. C. was Romaine
Clark, Hilliard ]\Ioore, John ]).
McAllister, an' Eunice Wilson.
The nature of the bills ap
proved by the Student Assembly
indicates that North (Carolina is
moving forward toward better
days.
FIRST SUBSCRIBERS TO 1947 YEARBOOK
Committee
For North Carolina
An attempt is being made to
organize a permanent chapter of
the “Conmiittee for North (’ar-
olina” here on the campus of
Fayetteville State Teachers Col
lege. This organization is State
wide and is an affiliate of “The
Southei-n (^lonference for Human
Welfare whicli is national in
scope. The committee for North
(Carolina undertakes as its goal
the building of a more democrat
ic South—with equal suffrage
rights; fair employment practices,
improved educational .standards;
adetjuate income for wage earn
ers and farmers; and improved
health facilities. This organiza-
lion pledges to accomplish this
goal through inter-racial co-.
operative group action. All of us,
as future leaders, should be in
terested in the promotion of a
uiore democratic South and Na
tion. Your columnist believes that
we are. Let us demonstrate our
interest by joining the Fayette
ville Teachers College Chapter of
the “Committee for North Caro
lina.”

The Bronco
We the members of the class of
“47” have taken upon us a tre
mendous but a very worthy task.
For the first time in the history
of this college, an attempt is be
ing made to iniblish a school an
nual. As a class, we decided to
call this annual “The Bronco”
in tribute toour faithful and fight
ing athletes. We as a class are
asking the cooperation of the en
tire student body and faculty
members in making this project a
success.

PSYCHOLOGICALLY SPEAKING
By Clara Celestine Barnes
Both man and animal have in
telligence; but man has intellect.
A week of the (Christmas vaca
tion time of Ronuiine (^lark was
spent getting to, attending and
getting away from the National
Assembly of the Student Christian
Association which met this year
at the famous University of Illi
nois, December 27 - January 2.
With an attendance of 1,124, the
third annual meeting of this
group had as its motto a Latin
inspired one, “We All Can Be
One.” Each morning for an
hour, the Reverend Doctor How-
ai d Thurman in his eloquent
worship services made each
black, brown, red and white feel
that it was one, not only with his
Maker but one with the other,
riie attendance included all the
regions of the National YW' and
Y.M’s representatives of various
religious organizations of the
L nited States and India, inanv
Student Christian Movements of
the Americas. Among the nota
bles at the conference were the
fore mentioned Dr. Howard
Thurman who has spoken on our
campus, Robert Bolte, prominent
writer and organizer of the Amer
ican Veterans’ Association, W'in-
nie Wygal, Bible authority and
author of much of the material
that was used in the hearings of
the conference, Bayard Rustin of
rellowship Reconciliation of
New York who will visit the cam
pus soon, Dr. Albert Outler of the
Vale Divinity School, formerly of
Duke L'niversity, the entire Na
tional Board of the YWCA, and
Dorothy McConnell, learned lec
turer and consultant at the San
Francisco Conference as well as
Ihe United Nations Organization.
AMien interviewed by this re
porter, Miss Clark said that she
could only hope to be able to im-
])art a small portion of what she
gained from the conference to
each one on the campus through
the programs and activities of the
campus that might profit by some
of the things that she had seen
and done at the conference. She
served on ihe editorial committee
of the World Conununity Com-
miliee hearing, sang with the As
sembly choir and recounted as
often as four times a day her ex-
jieriences at the Student Legisla
tive Assembly of North Carolina
for the eager persons of states
that have not gone so far in that
line as has our state, who were
more than glad to meet someone
who was there and saw w'hat they
had read about in the newspa
pers.
