Do I possess personality, co operation, leadership and character traits, that are enlightening? These are determined by how I shall mingle with society and results of ex- penience with the social world. 4. Do I use the Bible as my guide and rely upon God’s word? Do I fol low the Golden Rule and practice it by doing unto others as I would have them do unto me? By following Polonius’ advice to his son Laertes, one may make a good beginning in self-analysis: This above all to thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thcu can’t not then be false to any man.

CHORAL GROUPS IN CITY CHURCHES Students of S.T.C. are becoming active in religious services in the City fo Elizabeth City. On March 23, the audience of Cornerstone Baptist sat in amazement as Rev. John Williams, a student at S.T.C., delivered a message “Seeing God Through a Microscope”. He com posed a spiritual microscope through which one may see God and compared it with the material microscope, which is used in scientific research. Preceding Rev. Williams’ service the “Coneordettes” of S.T.C., under the direction of Tran Barcliff, sung two inspiring spirituals. The audience listened with open ears, for their hearts were being uplifted by the golden voices of Delores Stewart, Martha Purvis, Florence Mace, Edna Pruden, Lauree Swain and Alma Col lins. The Saint Phillips Episcopal Church has accepted thirteen students from S.T.C. to sing in the church choir un der the direction of Mr. Winston Bell. Those persons participating are Al- burah Brown, Katrina Johnson, Lauree Swain, Mary Harris, Ahce Pope and Shirley Wiggins - Soprano; Delores Stewart and Martha Purvis - Altos: Thorton Smith, William McGlone and William Matthews - Tenors; and Syl vester Mattocks and James Purvis - Bass. LIBRARY (Continued from page 1) One famous quotation of the week was, “No book is a good book until it has been read.” Goldsmith once said, “The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had a new friend. When I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one.” So the Library Science Class invites you to “Wake Up and Read”, and join them in using the library wisely. OUTSTANDING LECTURERS VISIT CAMPUS The members of the college family were inspired as well as infonned as they listened attentively to the lect ures of Mr. Salem Jailous and Dr. Ida ures of Mr. Salem Jailous and Dr. Ida Jiggetts. Though these lecturers were about a week apart both dealt with national and international problems. Mr. Jailous, a student of East Caro lina College and a native of Iraq, was the first speaker. His subject was “Islam’s Religion”, empasizing the customs, folklore and mores of the Islamites as they influence religion. He continued by stressing tine necessity of international understanding between races, and said the correction of mis understanding between races is per haps the only means of bringing about mutual understanding and peace among nations. Mr. Jailous’ lecture was concluded by answering questions from the audience. Dr. Ida Jiggetts, a native of North Carolina, but who is now living in New York City, came to us the fol lowing week with a lecture entitled “The Green Grass.” Dr. Jiggetts is a psychiatrist at Manhattan State Hos pital N.Y.C., and Bronx After Care clinic under N.Y. State Department of Mental Hygiene. Also she is associ ated with the American Christian Palestine Conamittee and has been given two trips to Israel by this out standing oranization. Dr. Jiggetts’ scholarly lecture in cluded the different types of religions, the way of life, and the natural re sources of the ten middle Eastern Countries. Some of her most pro nounced points were relationship be tween religious groups of Israel and their ways of separating their terri tory. NEWSLETTER Using as his topic “Is There a Standard American Prose?” Mr. Bout- well commented on kinds of writing done by outstanding authors of our time, emphasizing simplicity in style and urging students to write that which can be easily read. Following this meeting, the dele gates toured the New York Times Building. There many interesting ob servations were made and many ideas were gained concerning the actual publication of the paper. The progress of the Press through the years was displayed in the Musemn. On Friday morning in the Casa Italiana Auditorium, Dr. Earl F. Ro- backer, Chainnan of the English De partment, White Plains High School, discussed the layout of current Teach ers College newspapers. He stressed the importance of good pictures, well balanced; types of news print; ar rangement of news items; and also pictures suggesting good stories and action. At 12 P.M. on this same day, the Annual Luncheon was held in the Mezzanine of John Jay Hall. The prin cipal speaker for the occasion was Jacob Jacowdtz, Educational Editor, New York World and Sun. In this ad dress “Public Relations” was the main thought. The public has a right to be informed, said the speaker, and as we give the truth, we build good relations. Even though our newspapers should not be gossip sheets, whatever is news I should be printed. JUNIOR COUNSELORS IN THE NEWS The Junior Counselors of B.R.H. culminated their series of programs, which were designed to prevent the monotony of nothing to do, on March 23. The first discussion concerning ‘So rorities and Fraternities” was under the direction of Sara Heckstall and Vivian Markham. The persons on the panel were Miss E. A. Johnson, Dr. E. B. Winston and Mr. R. Vaughn. Another discussion on ‘Boy-Girl Relationships” was sponsored by Ka trina Johnson and Naomi Cousin. This program consisted of a panel conduct ed by Hezekiah Cooper, Shirley Wright, Peggy White and Joseph Pur vis, and persons of resources who were Mrs. G. L. Smith and Mr. T. S. Jack son. The final discussion was supervised by Georgianna Barnes and Lizzie Houpe, on the theme “Manners”. The persons of reliable resources were Mrs. S. D. Williams and Mr. T. Caldwell. Mrs. Williams gave introductory re marks afterwhich the question and answer period began. This series of discussions has been quite an inspiration to many students; each person present learned new ideas, although many items were reinforce ments of information which had been learned over a period of time. The junior counselors believed that these problems or themes were pertinent to the needs of students on our campus. During each discussion, refresh ments were served, consisting of some type of beverage and cookies. Each counselor worked deligently and co operatively for each program in order to make it a success. Other counselors who did not sponsor programs but who worked faithfully are Dezretta Exum, Trumillia Johnson and Helen Kates. Shirley Mizelle and Alburah Brown who are junior residents in B.R.H. made significant contributions also. A sectional meeting was held in Macy Hall after the Luncheon. Bern ard Jensen, Public Relations Director, State Teachers College, Buffalo, New York, presided. He discussed “Public (Relations and the College News- Ipaper”. This was followed by a ques- tion-and-answer period.
