Reporter. Faculty - Student Relationship Discussed Doles Hall residents, faculty, and other students discussed faculty-stu- dent relationship on S.T.C.’s campus with Dr. M. M. Caldwell as the dis cussion leader. There were those who felt that the faculty-student relationship is very good on this campus. Some stated that there does not exist a feeling of pea:e ard harmony as far as faculty and students are concerned. It ap pears that there are students fighting against faculty and vice versa. How ever, it was also brought out that there are those few faculty members with whom students feel free to dis cuss problems, and that there are others that students would refrain from making general statements around. Some mentioned the fact that if you are seen talking to some of the faculty members too frequent ly, you are going with them; if you are too friendly with students, this seems to create a problem because people draw the wrong conclusions. Th majority of the students usually say they are happy to leave this place. It would not be that way if better faculty-student relationship existed on our campus. It was stated that students should be corrected, but these corrections should not prove to be embarassing to anyone in any situation. The leader of the discussion stressed the point that there is a way to do every thing. The question was asked, “What can we do to bring about a better faculty-student relationship?” No final conclusions were reached. Ten Make History At ECSTC A new chapter. Epsilon Alpha, of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was born Saturday night, April 22, 1961, in Elizabeth City, N. C. Epsilon Alpha, now established on the campus of Elizabeth City State Teachers College, became official at a banquet at Woodley’s Cafe in Elizabeth City fol lowing the initiation ceremony con ducted by the Rocky Mount Alumni Chapter. Brother Frank G. Burnette of Durham, North Carolina, Provincial Polemarch of the Middle Eastern Province, delivered the main address. He gave many interesting and inspir ing comments that will forever rest in the memories of the Kappas con cerning the new chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi. Ten sturdy men crossed the burn ing sands into Kappaland. The “Solid- fied Ten,” as they are called, include — George A. Patterson, sophomore; John H. Kendale, sophomore; Joe W. Shambley, junior; Charles Ev- erette, Jr., senior; Oliver W. George, senior; Robert L. Knight, senior; Ed die Sykes, sophomore; Charles S. King, senior; Maceo W. Hill, senior, and William Teel, junior. A week after the Solidfied Ten had “gone over,” they showed evidence of be ing true Kappas. Their suggestions and ideas have fitted in greatly in mapping out a program for the school year of 1961-62. The newly installed officers of Ep silon Alpha Chapter include—George A. Patterson, Polemarch; John H. Kendale, Vice-Polemarch; Joe W. Shambley, Keeper of Records and Exchequer; Eddie Sykes, Strategus; William Teel. Lieutenant Strategus; and Charles S.

Guy In The Mirror When you get what you want in your struggle with life And the world makes you King for a day, then go to the Mirror and look at yourself and see what that guy has to say. For it isn’t your Father, or Mother, or wife, whose judgment Upon you must pass; the fellow whose verdict counts most in Your life is the guy staring back from the glass. He's the hombre to please, never mind all the rest, for He's with you right up to the end, and you’ve passed your Most dangerous difficult test if the guy in the glass is your friend. You may ape Jack Horner and chizzle a plum and think you’re A wonderful guy, but the man in the glass says you’re only A “bum” if you can’t look him straight in the eye. You can fool the whole world down the pathways of years and Get pats on the back as you pass; but your final reward will Be heartaches and tears if you “cheat ed” that guy in the glass. —Submitted by Charles S.
