PAGE FOUR THE COMPASS DECEMBER, igei Students Enter Marathon Eighteen young men journeyed to Bruce, North Carolina to participate in the Torch of Education on Novem ber 2. They were accompanied by Mr. Stallworth, who served as counselor to these men, Mr. DeLaine, Mr. John Marshall, and Mr. Jasper Evans who served as drivers. The purpose of the Marathon was to drum up support for the Bond Issue that was to be voted on November 7. Elizabeth City State Teachers College was to participate in this effort as well as the other state supported schools in North Carolina. Elizabeth City had to run thirty miles and was to receive the torch from East Carolina College, Green ville, 5:30 a.m. After receiving the torch they would run it into Rocky Mount, North Carolina where East Carolina would receive the torch. Students from Elizabeth City com pleted their mileage at 10:25 a.m. and proceed to Wright’s Motel where a very delicious lunch was waiting for the participants in the Marathon. I am very grateful to the people who gave the Student Council sup port in trying to help the Bond Issue to pass. I think that from a socialogi- cal view, the Council members gained an experience from participation in this project, one that they will long remember.

The officers Future Business Leaders Of America New Particle Discovered The discovery of a new elementary particle, omega meson, made at the University of California’s Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, and the finding of Unidentified addional “particle systems” in the subatomic realm are believed to make it possible to push n the next decade or two to a better explanation of how matter is put together. More than 30 so-called elementary particles are known. The new elementary particle dis covery gives important insight into the structure and behavior of the atomic nucleus. It plays an important role in the structure of protons and neutrons, the basic building blocks of atomic nuclei. The mass of the omega is 1540 electron masses. Like the ueutrou, the omega has no electrical charge. Cancer Found In Trout Cancer has been found in every trout fish hatchery in the United States. A national survey conducted on Federal, state and local levels has shown that more than half of all rainbow trout artificially raised have cancer of the liver. The exact cause of the cancer is unknown. The cancerous growth is not very malignant, causing very few fish deaths. No cases have yet been re ported in which the disease was transmitted from one animal to an other, the scientists stated. The public should not be excited, because the chances of getting cancer by eating the diseased trout are vir tually nonexistent.

Fall asleep by the hum of the bees. Breathe the pure summer breeze. I wish to see you nap near the sweet blooms. Where spiders pitch their looms. Where they weave with their sheer golden thread Sheets for your hammock. I wish to hear you laugh like the brook When a trout grabs your hook. Watch you pull him ashore in your dreams. See him dance with the sunbeams. I wish that you reach the rainbow’ end. Grow rich in yonder glen. Wake up in all of your joy and pride To find me at your side.

The Student Activities Committee members presented an Assembly Pro gram and had as guest speaker Mr, Howard Henry who is Director of Graham Memorial Union at the Uni versity of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Mr. Howard began his address by giving the history of College Unions. It was stated that the first union began as early as 1815 in the form of a Debating Society. The speaker em phasized the fact that a Union is a community center and an informal educational medium which must be supported by everyone in the com munity. “It should provide students with an opportunity to do things that they like and enjoy doing,” he said. In his concluding statement, the speaker stated that records show that fudents who graduate from institu tions which are provided with Union Programs tend to make more worth while contributions to their communi ties than those who have not been affiliated with such programs.
