Prior to last year, students sat as regular members on most all college committees. Other officers of the council are James Burch, Class of ’49, honorary president; Dorothy Cushenberry, vice president; George Johnson, recording secretary: Annie Witherspoon, corresponding secretary; Harold Cushenberry, treasurer; William Carter, assistant treasurer; James Pelham, busi ness manager; June McCowan, director, publicit> and Floyd Cald well, parliamentarian. Students At Council Meet Two students from “State”, Dorothy Crawley, a senior and the editor of the “Voice” and William McNair, a junior who is president of the Gilreath Club, attended the Virginia-Carolina Association of Student Councils which convened at the University of North Caro lina in Chapel Hill on Friday, Sat urday and Sunday, October 21, 22, and 23. The purpose of the meet ing was to devise means of in teresting more students in shar ing in the government under which they must live while in college. Miss Crawley worked with the group on publication and Mr. Mc Nair, with the group on educa tional problems. The Association went on record as disapproving the gossip sheet sometimes found in school papers and suggested that more and more student activities be operated with less and less by help and supervision from faculty sponsors. “The Voice” held its own with the other student papers represented at the Association. Other Negro college represented at the Association were North Carolina College at Durham; Allen University, Benedict College, A. and T. College and Johnson C. Smith University.

Three instructors are nearing the completion of their work for the doctorate. Mr. Leonard H. STATE’S PREXY (Continued From Page 1) 1937 and enlarged in 1941; the year 1938 saw the completion of a cottage for teachers, the Henry W. Lilly Gymnasium, the Robert Harris dormitory for women, and a monument in memory of Dr. E. E. Smith, former president of the school. One year later came the James Walker Hood Hall, a dor mitory for men, the Robert R. Taylor Science Hall and a WPA Project for the beautification of the campus; and the year 1941 witnessed the erection of another teacher’s cottage and the enlarge ment of the laundry. Since 1941 many of the buildings on the 2Empus have been renovated, and in 1947 a trailer camp of twenty- one units made its appearance. A recent legislative appropria tion has made possible by far the most elaborate building program in the history of the institution. The sum of $974,922 will provide for an addition to the library, im provement to Bickett Hall, a dor mitory for women, a dormitory for married teachers, a dormitory for single teachers, an extension of the balconies of the gymnasium, a new auditorium, the remodel ing of the Mechanic Arts Building, additional roads, walks and l:ghts on the campus, the converting of the assembly hall into classrooms and offices, the enlargement and improvement of the athletic field, major repairs to campus buildings, improvement of the dining hall including the installment of facili ties for cafeteria service, repairs to the President’s residence, and the converting of Vance Hall into a dormitory for men. A local newspaper recently referred to our “million dollar expansion and improvement program” and to Dr. Seabrook’s record for the econom ical management of the institution. It said, “For two decades Dr. Sea- brook has maintained the lowest per capita cost — from state ap propriations — of any college in North Carolina.” Add to this the “A” rating the college has recently received, the improvement of the faculty, the expansion of the enrollment (one student now comes from Liberia) the enriching of student life on the campus and you have a pic ture of our prexy who works hand in hand with what he calls the “best Board of Trustees of them all.” To the titles he now has the “Voice” would like to add that of “builder.” Robinson is working in Sociology and Miss Margaurite Frierson in Education at the Ohio State Uni versity, while Mr. Allen H. Brown is at work in the area of Chem istry at Indiana University.
