Campus Clubs
Often times the value of campus activities and clubs is un
der estimated. It may naively be assumed by some that their
main purpose is solely of a social nature.
This is partly true. Campus clubs are designed to bring
students of mutual interests into closer contact with one another
and foster friendship among students. However, college organi
zations offer other advantages which may not be realized at
first glance.
First of all participation in campus activities provides an
excellent way for the student to test his leadership capabilities.
It is here that the student learns whether or not he is capable of
handling responsibility. Leadership and the ability to handle re
sponsibility may be natural to a few persons, but in most cases
they are attained only through experience.
Secondly, participation in campus affairs increases the stu
dent’s self-confidence, from which comes the ability to deal with
and solve new problems. Self-confidence inspires a new aware
ness of the self and of the unknown potentials that an individual
may be harboring.
Political, social, and business institutions of tomorrow will
need capable individuals who have had experience in fields of
leadership and who are able to handle responsibilities with cer
tainty and confidence. Each year these institutions search for
young people who have acquired these traits, and to those that
are found, the road to success is considerably shortened.
This is not to say that an academic education should not
be the primary goal of every student. No one should disagree
that the central purpose of a college education is the attainment
of knowledge and wisdom. Yet knowledge and wisdom are in
effective until they are directed into constructive channels.
The real question in issue is: Will we as student take ad
vantage of these organizations on campus designed to give direc
tion to excess energies, develop leadership and cooperation among
students, and mold responsible young citizens? Or will we let
these opportunities be overlooked and allowed to drift past un
sampled?
Self Awareness
Being aware of the world entails first being aware of one
self. For no matter what the world is — it is one’s interpreta
tion that brings it into his realm of reality. The current trends
that are accepted as no noble; to dismissing oneself entirely,
and considering the other man, always the other man, is slow
ly strangling the free American mind.
Everywhere in American policy this hideous attitude blares
out — what will the Russians think? What will the East-Germans
think? What will the NAACP think? We must compromise and
compromise, relinquish our views to the minority; we must dis
play our noble charity of compromise to the other man. For
it is this pious attitude of giving-in that will bring us esteem.
(What matter if this esteem ends-up as a mockery from the
grave!)
Do not sing the National Anthem too loud when travelling
abroad — and you need not sing it at home. Do not ever stand
up for your heritage — be it southern or northern, black or
white. Always strive to blend in and — if at all possible — fol
low, never lead. If you are forced into the position of a leader,
never blaze out alone — that’s too dangerous. Consult your
enemies first, lest you bring their disapproval.
The constant denial of the self is an excellent and vital ele
ment of international communism. By dedication to the “cause”
and surrendering up all human recognition, the goal eventually
shall be obtained. The wretches left shall blindly bump into
each other as they trudge to and from the production line. The
loss of self-pride and values makes it very easy to stand up in
any court room in any country and plead guilty to any crime.
With no strong inner force to motivate a man, he can worship
any God, salute any flag, march in any army and do any work.
He can look into any mirror and see not himself — but the
other man.
Self-awareness will only naturally lead you into the realm of
considering the other man. Every man seeks a common under
standing with his fellow beings. It is a point of communication.
Our modem times have lifted this problem from a local basis in
to a world-wide dilemna. Self-respect is thereby a prerequisite
to respecting one’s fellow man. Having convictions and belief
in the purpose and heritage of the American way of life will
lead you to resp,ect and respond to any other man regardless
of his origin.
“You owe no one as much as you owe yourself. You owe to
yourself the action that opens for you the doors to the goodness,
the variety, the excitement of effort and success, of battle and
victory. Making payment on this debt to yourself is the exact
opposite of selfishness. You can best pay your debt to society,
that has made you what you are, by being just yourself with
all your might and as a matter of course . . . You fulfill the
promise that lies latent within you by keeping your promises to
yourself” . . .

Peace Corps
The Campus Awareness Committee is having a representa
tive from the Peace Corps on our campus on October 25th. Mr.
James Kweder will be available to meet with interested students
between the hours of 10 and 11:45 a.m. in the lobby of the class
room building. For all who cannot make this meeting, he will
be available again from 1:45-3 p.m. The committee urges all
students to try to arrange to talk with Mr. Kweder during one
of these designated times.
There will be a luncheon at the Cherry Hotel from 12-1:30
p.m. for the Executive Board and the Presidents’ Council, spon
sored by the Campus Awareness Committee. Mr. Kweder will
meet with the faculty in the Faculty Lounge from 3-4 p.m.
The Campus Awareness Committee feels that this is a won
derful opportunity for the students of our campus, and it is the
hope of the Committee that many students wiU take advantage
of the opportunity to talk with Mr. Kweder.
How Does A Volunteer Apply.
By filling out a Peace Corps
Volunteer Questionnaire.
Questionnaires are available at
universities, colleges, and post of
fices, and through the offices of
United States Senators, Congress
men and through county agents
of the U. S. Department of Agri
culture. Questionnaires are avail
able through business associa
tions, civic groups and la^r un
ions. They may also be obtained
by writing the Peace corps,
Washington 25, D. C.
How Will Selections Be Made
Questionnaires will be kept on
file at the Peace Corps head
quarters in Washington, C. D.
As projects develop, those with
the needed skiUs and qualifica
tions will be called in for in
terviews, physical examinations
and written tests. When there is
a need for special skills beyond
those available, direct recruiting
wiU take place.
What Are The Standards For
Selection?
Selection standards wUl be
high. Through written tests, phy
sical examinations, interviews
and observation, candidates wiU
be screened successively for tech
nical comjjetence, maturity, phy
sical condition and motivation.
Procedures will be devised to
prevent the selection to those
who might seek to use the Peace
Corps for subversive purposes.
Because some p>ersons other
wise qualified might prove to
be emotionally incap>able of fac
ing the realities of living in dis
tant outposts, it is of the high
est importance that Volunteers
sent overseas possess qualities of
stability, adaptability and deter
mination. The selection process
wiU seek to discover these quali
ties in those chosen, as volun
teers.

Peace Corps Campus Musical Previe

Instructor In Music
Here’s hoping you got your
ballet tickets for next week.
Monday through Wednesday at
State College coUiseum is t h e
New York City Ballet.
The coming week includes not
only three evenings of baUet in
Raleigh, but also a Friday piano
concert in Rocky Mount (free)
and the first Community Conce-rt
program here (also free to acti
vities fee-paid ACC students).
The piano recital at Rocky
Mount’s Wesleyan CoUege is by
Thelma Paiewonsky Sasser, an
accomplished pianist and wife of
Wesleyan’s music department
head. Mrs. Sasser is a native of
Dominican Republic and grad
uate of Jacksonville and Oberlin
Conservatories of Music.
Mrs. Sasser’s program wiU in
clude works of Bach, Beethoven,
Hindemith and Falla. The writer
has had a preview of this pro
gram which promises to 'be ex
ceptional. The program will be
gin at 8:15 in the college chapel.
ITie campus, in case you haven t
been there, is some three miles
north of Rocky Mount on High
way 301.
The Community Concert pro
gram is by the Seronaders Quar
tet, an all-male group, who wiU
appear a week from tomorrow
at Fike High School, beginning
at 8:15.
Friday’s piano recital at Wes
leyan is the first of a series of
ten free musical events. Others
include a concert harpsichord
ist, the North Carolina String

two other pianists in addition to
Mrs. Sasser, a duo-piano recital
w
by Dr. and Mrs. Sasser, th
Women’s Choir of W.c.ufjc*
and two concerts by the Wesfev
an Singers.
Installment I: “Where the in
expensive records are.”
Radio Shack (730 Common-
wealth Avenue, Boston 17, Majj j
sends out a monthly catalogue
that includes three to five hun-
dred records at huge savings'
The records are all new, varied
in kind—that is to say, from 1116
Mills Brothers to Mozart—name
labels, and reaUy, the savings
are excellent: “99 cents each
in lots of 3,” or “5-12” steren
LPs $5.99,” etc. Records that
normally retail for $4.98 or $5 98
are grouped together in the is-
sue that I am looking at nricfvi
at $2.39. ^
Once on the mjaUing list at
Radio Shack, one continues to
get their regular catalogue which
contains other appetizers: com
ponents for hi-fi and stereosets
assembled phono sets, tape re^
corders, radios of all kinds
clocks, numerous household
items of unusual nature, bargain
books originally published at
$3.95 to $112.00 for $1.00 to $44.95
A recent trip to Woolworli’s
here in Wilson disclosed no less
than four different recordings of
“Scheherazade” by Rimsl^-Kor-
sakov, with the prices starting
at 97 cents. There were also
copies of the Tchaikovsky Piano
Concerto in B Minor (“Tonight
We Love” theme) and Gersh-
vnn’s “Rhapsody in Blue.”
If records could be made avail
able at the campus bookstore at
real economy prices, records like
those that the music survey peo
ple listen to, who would be inter
ested?
Politics Are Encouraged
By An Interested Student
We note with enthusiasm the
formation of a Young Democrats
Club on our campus. That a
group of students have seen the
necessity of having both political
parties represented at Atlantic
Christian College is highly com
mendable.
It is hoped that there will be
keen and spirited competition be
tween the Young Republicans
Club and the Young Democrats
Clu bthroughout the coming year.
We are looking forward to both
parties raising and presenting is
sues on pertinent political ques
tions of the day, with possible de
bates and discussions held for the
'benefit of the entire student ^y.
We further hope that many stu
dents on campus will realize lie
important of these two political
parties, and wQl become active
members of one of the two.
These organizations are design
ed to give young citizens a means
to express opinions and present
ideas, and, at the same time,
train responsible young leaders
who wiU carry on the American
heritage of democracy and free
dom.
