From the ...
PRESIDENrS DESK
As the end of another school
year approaches there are many
things that should give you food
for thought. As you look around,
you will note that many of your
friends who were here in Sep
tember are no longer in college.
In view of the fact that you are
fortunate to be here, you might
well consider whether you have
made the best possible use of your
time.
In your study this term have
you merely tried to memorize
facts so as to get a passing mark
or have you read and studied and
learned to evaluate facts? Unless
you have learned to think criti
cally you have not made the pro
gress normally expected of a col
lege student.
Fayetteville students will not be
able to hold their own in the
competitive world after gi'aduation
unless they leam while still here
to apply to certain standards of
their own to their reading, their
study and their investigations. One
cannot begin to call himself edu
cated unless he has learned to
judge the degree of his own com
petence, the degree of his own
mastery of subject matter, the de
gree of his own facility of ex
pression. If you have not already
done so begin now to evaluate
your achievement and your pro
gress. You should never be con
tent with a low level of achieve
ment or low standards in general.
Sincerelv.

Critique On
Langston Hughes
Comments from students con
cerning Langston Hughes and the
Lecture-Recital presented in the
J. W. Seabrook Auditorium:
JOHNNY BRISBON—Langston
Hughes is not only a great poet
and writer but he is also an ex
cellent and interesting speaker.
ASBERINE PARNELL—It was
interesting to listen to poems being
read by Mr. Hughes and to hear
the reasons these poems were
written.
CHARLES PERRY—Trying to
pick out the most exciting mo
ments of Langston Hughes’ life
would be like trying to find which
came first, the chicken or the egg.
EVANGELINE SMITH—I am
sure that everyone agrees that he
is one of America’s most distin
guished writers.
JESSE UZZELL—The lecture-
recital of Langston Hughes, which
was very educational and full of
aspiration, will long be remember
ed.
EDNA MARTIN—After doing
research, reading, and then hear-
Langston Hughes speak in person,
one would eagerly want to write a
book.
SHIRLEY MASSENBURG—The
program was very inspiring, en
joyable, and educational.
GEORGE W. LESSANE—Mr.
Hughes’ thoughts and ideas which
his creative works are composed
from will help to lead countries
and races into a better imderstand-
ing of each other.
EDITH B. McMILLAN—With
out fear of contradiction, we can
say James Langston Hughes has
made a great contribution to the
world.
SUE EVELYN McKOY—No poet
has expressed so uniquely, simply
and concisely the feelings of the
Negro race.
FREDDIE L. WEST—His ad
ventures told and poems read dur
ing his lecture are so lively that
anyone would enjoy hearing him
for hours.
MARY L. HURLEY—If you did
not hear Langston Hughes, you
missed a very exciting moment of
your life.
JULIETTE GARY — Certainly,
in terms of quality of works pro
duced, Langston Hughes deserves
the honors that have come to him.
