OCTOBER, 1960 THE COMPASS PAGE THREE Winston-Salem Downs Elizabeth City The Winston-Salem Rams defeated the EHzabeth City Pirates in a fast moving contest. Nelson Guthrie started the; Rams attacic with an 85 yard touchdown after an 11 yard punt return. He was followed by Brown, Adams, Mayo and a host of teammates in their efforts to defeat the Pirates. The Pirates attack was highlighted by the playing of Horace Jones, a Freshman halfback from Virgmia, who scored twice. The first one on a 23 yard play from scrimmage and the second on a 75 yard interception. Tommy Liverman also sparkled the Pirates with his very colorful running, although he did uot reach the scoring column. Pirates Suffer Defeat The Elizabeth City State Teachers College Pirates suffered their second consecutive loss at the hands of the Norfolk State Trojans. It was a hard fought battle until halftime as the score was tied at 14 all. The Trojans came back in the second half to score 28 points while holding the Pirates to 6. Mickey Harper, Fletcher Snipes, and George Craig scored for the Pi rates. Edmonds and Gordon had 14 points a piece for Norfolk State. The final score was Norfolk State 42, Elizabeth City 20.

C. s' New Head Football Couch Mr. Arthur Brown is our newly- appointed head football coach. He graduated from Wilberforce Universi ty of Wilberforce, Ohio. Upon grad uation, he served as backfield coach at his Alma Mater. He has also been head coach at Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Florida; Claf- lin University, Orangeburg, South Carolina; Benedict College, Colum bia, South Carolina; and Livingstone College, Salisbury, North Carolina. Coach Brown said, “We have a young ball club composed of Fresh men and Sophomores. At this point they seem to be maturing.” The old fellows have shown quite a bit of team ability. In this area are: Walter Thomas, George Craig, John Harper, Roscoe Hager, Fletcher Snipes, William Long, James Phillips, James Woods and Robert Baker. The new fellows are: Earl Francis, Stanley Franklin, Jamie Griffin, Joel Howell, Horace Jones and James Pittman. “The past scores do not indicate the team’s potentiality, and at any time you can expect to see a repre sentative team.” Are We Still Alive? Is it not true that the liveliness of any person lies within the way he talks, acts, and, above all, the way he expresses his emotions in various situations? If this be true, then why don’t we students at S.T.C. WAKE UP! LIVE! and GET THE SCHOOL SPIRIT! Although our football team has not been successful this year, we still should not hesitate to support our players where ever they are on the field. Let’s let them know that we are behind them one hundred percent, whether they win or lose. If you will see to it that one student yells and let that one be yourself, then everybody will yell while at the games. Who Will Be Our Three Summer Workshops Held Next President? As we know, this is National Elec tion year again, as is every four years. We also know who the candi dates are for the Presidential Elec tions which will take place on Novem ber 8, which is the second Tuesday in November. On Tuesday, November 8, citizens from every state across the nation will be going to the polls to cast their votes for either Mr. Kennedy or Mr. For the past eight years Mr. Ei senhower has held the highest office in the land. Now this year we are faced with that one extremely big problem. Who will be America’s President for the next four years? Only you, the citizens of the United States, can answer that question by voting either Democratic or Republican on Novem ber 8. Each voter should have in mind the man he or she feels would make the best President. He should have in mind some of the expectations, ideals, qualifications, and characteristics he should possess. It is quite fitting for one to think in terms of the expectations, ideals, qualifications and characteristics of the individual whom he shall vote for as our next President. However, we as Negroes should ask ourselves the chief question: Am I voting for the man who will be most concerned with the civil rights of the Negro? Also, does he happen to be familiar with the labor problems, educational problems and other problems of the nation, and especially those of the Negro? So instead of voting unwisely, sup pose we think twice before casting our vote, for this vote may determine who will be America’s next President.

Tillie Kyle, head of the Reading Clinic: the Elementary Mathematics Workshop under the direction of Dr. G. D. Kyle, chairman of the Science Department; and the Workshop directed by Mrs. D. E. Thomas, associate professor of biology. The Reading Workshop had an en rollment of 69 teachers, representing 24 counties in North Carolina. Some of the reasons or purposes for attend ing the Reading Workshop as given by these teachers were: (1) inappropri ate training in reading instruction at the undergraduate level; (2) miscon ception of the nature of reading and psychological approaches to presen tation of materials; (3) failure to understand individualization of in struction within group situations; and (4) inadequate background in word attack skills and methods of teaching vocabulary. Interesting Matli Projects In the introduction of the Ele mentary Mathematics Workshop pro gram Dr. Kyle stated: “Recent sur veys have shown that the mathe matics curriculum in many elementary schools today is little or no different from that a century or more ago. Such a curriculm virtually ignores the tremendous growth and new applica tion of mathematics in recent years and fails to recognize the new spirit of this science, not only as a tool for problem solving, but also as a study that can use creatively and imagi natively the full power of the human intellect. The Elementary Mathematics Workshop program was guided by three main objectives: 1. To arouse general interest in the manipulation and use of ele mentary mathematics. 2. To expose the members of the work shop to some of the revolu tionary ideas in elementary mathematics. 3. To provide such activities that are carried on by each individual participating. Many interesting projects were carried out by the thirteen students participating. A mathematical dueler- on-electrical device for giving mathe matical questions and answers was developed; a chart showing how to work fractions from music, and domino magic square and its im portance toward learning elementary mathematics. On Friday morning of July 22, at 10:30 a.m., an exhibit was open to the public in room 215 in Lester Hall. Some two hundred persons passed through the room between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Integrated .Science Program The workshop in Elementary School Science was held July 4—July 22 in Lester Hall. Thirty-two persons were enrolled and classes met daily for three hours. Participation earned three semester hours of credit. Serving as consultants were: Audio-Visual Aids Mrs. D. W. Robson—State Super visor of Elementary Schools, Raleigh, N.C., and Dr. C. W. Pettigrew, Department of Edu cation, State Teachers College, Elizabeth City, N.C. Electricity and Magnetism Mrs. H. L. Thomas, Maintenance Department, Elizabeth City State Teachers College, Elizabeth City, N.C. Worlisliop Evaluation Mrs. Minnie L. Woodson, State Supervisor of Elementary Schools, Raleigh, N.C. Each participant completed the following projects: Set up a balanced acquarium, constructed an electric questioner, preserved a specimen, pre pared an experiment file and collected materials for an integrated course content program for the elementary school. Ushers Guild Organizes The members of the Ushers Guild held their first meeting in Room 106 of Moore Hall at 6:30 P.M. on Sep tember 27, 1960. Yvonne Gould, a senior, acted as chairman for the meeting until the officers for the year of 1960-61 were elected. There were a large number of new members present, and business began to get underway immediately. The following students were elect ed by a majority vote: Yvonne Gould, President; Carlinda B. Jones, Secre tary; and Charles S. King, Treasurer. Many suggestions were made during the meeting, and many interesting facts were stressed in connection with the rules and regulations of the Ushers Guild. Mrs. Georgia L. Smith, fcaulty ad visor to the Ushers Guild, greeted the new members with a hearty welcome. She also emphasized the proper dress for formal and informal occasions. Mrs. Georgia^ L. Smith, faculty ad- health education and Mr. Luther Burse, instructor in industrial art, are faculty advisors for the Ushers Guild. Let's Support Our Team Most of us know from experience that we do our best when someone is urging us. The same holds true for our football team. The players will play harder than they normally would if there were cheering through out the game. f FOOTBALL TEAM
