NOVEMBER, 1962 THE COMPASS PAGE THREE ECSTC Dope Sheet A Summer at Oxford Pirates Deadlock Bears The Elizabeth City “Pirates” and the Shaw University “Bears” battled to a 14-14 tie at the “Bears” Homecom ing. The “Pirates” started a drive deep in the “Bears” territory, but fumbled the ball, and this stopped their early threat in the first quarter. Later in the period, the “Bears” quarterback, Na than Walton, hit Lowe Johnson with a 40 yard pass. A 15 yards penalty against the “Pirates”, and the “Bears” were on the “Pirates” two. Johnson scored the touchdown. After the first half, the fighting “Pirates” came rolling back. They moved the ball 52 yards with fullback Horace Jones driving over to score. Francis passed to flanker William Stewart for the extra point. This made the score 7-7. Elizabeth City, still fired up early in the fourth quarter, began to move the ball once again. This time Percy Watson, a halfback, went over to The Shaw “Bears” fought back against the tough “Pirate” defense and scored on a pass when quarter back Waiters connected with Sylvester Headen in the end-zone. icj^uette Dear Fellow Students, We have now begun a new and, I hope, a very successful school year. As we all know, good social habits are very important to all college stu dents. Therefore, this etiquette corner, which has been prepared just for you will consist of questions and answers on social habits. Q. Should a woman rise when intro duced to another woman? A. Younger girls and women always rise when they are presented to an older woman. Of special import ance; Always rise when a friend’s mother enters the room, even though you know her well. Rise also, to greet a woman who is coming to meet you across your office, a hotel lobby, or your living room. Q. May I introduce guests by their first names? A. By all means use first names if your guests are contemporaries, or if your party is one where a small group will be spending many hours together. At a large cocktail party of mixed ages, it’s proper to intro duce older people as Mr. and Mrs. When introducing younger people to older people (always present the younger first), use full names; for example, Mary Smith, Mrs. Brown. Q. Should I ask a man to a party after one date? A. If it’s your own party, all right. Otherwise, wait at least until after the second date. If he says No, you might try once again. If he still re fuses, just forget it. In any case, he knows you are interested; if he is, he will be calling you. Above all, if you do call a man, be sure your invitation is for a party; never for a just-the-two-of-us invitation. Q. When introducing people, should one mention occupation as a con versation starter? A. No. People don’t usually like to be explained to others in their pre sence. However, you might mention to a newcomer (as you lead him to someone for an introduction), “I want you to meet a very nice doctor and his wife, who is an artist.” Well students. I’ll sign off; however, I will meet you again in the next issue.. Announcement The Advisory Council has approved the organization of a chapter of the NAACP on the campus; it has also approved a Modern Jazz Qub. Pirates Crush St. Paul In winning their first game of the season, the State Teachers College Pirates did it in a big way. They trounced the Tigers from St. Paul 44- 12. After a scoreless first period, Alfred Pearson intercepted a pass from quar terback Beatley intended for Leroy Wright and sprinted 80 yards for the touchdown. That was all the scoring in the first half. When the half ended, however, the Pirates were on the Tigers’ nine yard line threatening to score. The Pirates came back in the sec ond half really fired up. Horace Jones ran off-tackle for a 60 yard TD to initiate the second half scoring. The Tigers’ defense seemed to collaspe as the Elizabeth City team scored at will. Earl Francis tossed a past to Steward for a 23 yard touchdown. Pearson, playing quarterback, rolled out and scooted 52 yards for another score. He later connected on a pass to Bobley for a 25 yard TD and the final tally of the third period. At the end of the third pwriod, the score stood. Pirates 38, Tigers 0. Coach Tom Caldwell started his re serves in the fourth period. The Saint Paul Tigers took advantage of this opportunity. Quarterback Ed Charles passed to Leroy Wright for a 63 yard tally the Tigers first score. Frank Dooms made a long, good pass to Walter Chatman for the second score of the period. Randolph Johnson hit Henry Hood with an aerial good for nine yards and a touchdown. This gave the Pirates their 44-12 win. Senior guard Robert Baker and tackle Phil McCoy turned in some very fine defensive work. JasLiond Yes, students, fall is here again and every student on E.C.S.T C. campus is trying to look his or her best in the latest fall fashions. To aid you in selecting these fashions, I have been browsing through different catalogs and have found that the following are being worn on campus this fall all over the U.S. FOR LADIES: This fall the plaid skirt and shirt waist dresses are the rage among girls. The plaid skirts are set off by white shirts or long sleeve blouses. Nsat dresses, and crease resis tent out fits will also be included in the college lady’s wardrobe. The cotton suede sportv/ear fabrics will make the young ladies ready for any sports event. Ladies, black this year, comes out mostly when the sun goes down and is opulent in fabric. Great pins make much of it—often with colored stones. Your wardrobe should also, include two dresses for daytime, both slim and sleeved with long looking tops that end at the waistline, and skirts that can be afforded. A wonderful suit of bright plaid with eased jacket and front pleated skirt, would be a smart addition. Coats, again this year, will be rounded and wide collared. Shoes will be more round toe than sharp. FOR MEN: The rage among men this fall is short car coats and bulky sweaters. All the cool and collected young men will be wearing the white wool fleece pullover. Yes, men, the V-neck sweat er is also back this year, in more, and more wonderful colors to accent your pants. In rain or shine, the big wheel can calmly survey his campus domain in his smart corduroy jacket. These jackets are becoming more and more popular every day among the mascu line sex on various campuses. Pin check slacks for men will make any man stand out on any occasion. The duuble breasted jacket is not as popu lar this year as last, but men’s suit coats are becoming shorter. Worn in class, at parties, or in dorm bull sessions, these clever styles will prove it’s fun to be smart—both book and fashion wise!

L. Vaughan—Head Coach Sadie Hawkins Dance Held “The Dogpatch” was the theme for the third annual Sadie Hawkins Dance at S.T.C. It was a ragged, gala affair. Comments such as “It was loads of fun” and “We should have more dances of this nature” were made. Everyone looked simply “Dogpatchy”. Several contests were held and prizes were given. In the pie-eating contest Phillip Flood emerged the winner. Emma Maye proved that eat ing apples dangling from a string was no problem for her. Eloise Turner gave the best potrayal of Daisy Mae. For additional entertainment and amusement, groups were chosen from the student body, one to sing on stage and another to do the “Buck Dance”. The performances were enjoyed by everyone. The students were having a gay time, but as always, all things must eventually come to an end and, of course, this dance was no exception, for around twelve midnight, everyone went home, tired but happy at having had such an enjoyable evening in “The Dogpatch”. A Book Worth Reading Ship of Fools, a novel by Kath erine Anne Porter, is a book that is worth reading. This contemporary novel has gained a permanent place in the literature of our time. The novel’s setting is on a freighter- passenger ship, the Vera, which is embarked from Veracruz, Mexico, and destined for Bremerhaven, Ger many. The story covers twenty- seven days in the year 1931. The passengers present many as pects of life in comedy and tragedy, love and hate, boredom and adven ture, and pain and pleasure. These incidents are witnessed in the lives and actions of the ship’s company. Some of the passengers are a child less couple, and their seasick white bull dog; a hopeless drunkard; a hunchback; and a dying religious enthusiast who believes he has the power of healing. The novel is indeed a brilliant panorama of life in all its glory and depravity. Miss Porter pictures the Ship of Fools as the ship of humanity which is cruel, unkind, stubborn, prejudiced, and destructive. This book is indeed a masterpiece and can be enjoyed by all readers. —J. W. J. Student Council News The Student Council officials are corresponding with members of other colleges and universities including Duke, Hampton, Howard, N.C. Col lege, Chowan and Albemarle. Student Council presidents from these schools have been invited to participate in a panel discussion during March ’63. The student of English who has the privilege of taking a summer course at the University of Oxford must first recover from his awe. A sense of his tory and a knowledge of the famous men who were graduated from the university overwhelm one. But after one tours the city to see the iron cross on Broad Street marking the site where Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer were burned at the stake in 1555 and the Martyrs’ Memorial; the Ashmo- lean (the first university museum in England); the Sheldonian Theatre (not a theatre but a place for university convocations honoring the founders); the Boleian Library; and the Isis (that part of the Thames where the College Barges are moored); one realizes that the city is real and that the places he had studied exist. This feeling of awe further dimin ishes after one has visited the colleges which comprise the corporation of the University of Oxford. The course was located at Exeter College, founded in 1314, the college of William Morris and Burne-Jones of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Across Turl Street is Jesus College where T. S. Lawrence spent his undergraduate years. Pem broke College where Dr. Samuel Johnson was a student; University College from which Shelley was dis missed; Corpus Christi College from which Arnold, Keble, and Clough were graduated; Addison’s walk at Magdalen College (pronounced “Maudlen”); Christ Church, establish ed by Cardinal Wolsey, at which Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) taught; all—all of these colleges in the university arouse strong associa tions and stirring emotions in an Eng lish major. Once recovered from this feeling of awe, the student can begin his study. The course was the History, Litera ture, and the Arts of Seventeenth- Century England. When one recalls that this period embraces Shakespeare, Donne and the Metaphysical Poets, Milton and Dryden in poetry; Bacon, Hobbs, and Locke in Philosophy; James I, Charles I, Cromwell, Charles II, and the Civil War and'Restoration in history; Sir Christopher Wren in architecture; Anthony Van Dyck came to England in 1620 in painting; Henry Purcell in music; and Restoration dra ma, one is startled by the extent of subject matter to be covered. Each day the students attended two lectures, usually in the lecture hall of the Taylor Institution. They were staggered so that two of the topics were given concurrently; for example, the schedule of the first week included Lighthouse FAC Sponsors Candlelight Hour The Lighthouse Fine Arts Com mittee sponsored a “Thanksgiving Candlelight ^our” on Sunday, No vember 1 at 4 p.m. The introduction of the program was made by Albert Robinson, co-chairman of the Light house Fine Arts Committee. The program consisted of reading poetry and prose written by famous poets and prose writers and our own students. Selections by Longfellow, Sandburg, Guest, Dunbar, Lincoln and James Weldon Johnson were included; also poems by Theresa Hall and John Jordan, English majors of the college. Other students reading were; An drew Hamlett, Carol Ashe, Hannah Myrick, Wallace Riggins, Tony Ricks. Leonard Slade and Sarah Jordan. All of these readings were beautifully done. Mrs. Mary Ann Franklin assisted in coaching the readers and in com memoration of Veterans Day read “The Gettysburg Address”. Members of the Hospitality Committee were Mary Herring, Mayvola Richardson, Deloris Eggleston, Cynthia Cunning ham, Falesse Moore, and Anne Wil kins. Geraldine Kidd was co-chairman. The program was highly enjoyed by all who attended. lectures on “The Seventh Century in English History,” “James I and Charles I,” “Cromwell,” “Charles II and James 1” at ten o’clock; at eleven- thirty the lectures were “Shakespeare, 1” (four lectures in the series), “Seven teenth-Century Poetry, I and 11” (four lectures in the series), and “Jacobean Drama, 1” (two lectures in the series). The lecturers, who always delivered their lectures in academic attire, in cluded some of the best lecturers in the university; Sir J. A. Westrup in music, Anthony Bertram in art, J. B. Bamborough in literature. Professor N. H. Gibbs in history, and E. J. Dob son in linguistics. Two popular lec turers were women, Mrs. D. M. Bed- narowska on Restoration Drama and Mrs. C. M. Ing on Seventeenth-Cen tury Poetry . The one hundred and fifty students came from twenty-two countries in Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Canada, Nigeria, and the United States. Over half of the students were Americans. Most of them were teach ers of English or history; in a few cases the students were seniors. In ad dition to attending the two general lectures described above, all of the students were enrolled in a tutorial, much like the American seminar, that met twice a week, on Milton, Donne, Restoration Drama; history or politi cal science of the period; or linguis tics. In these tutorials reports were made, critical papers were read, and questions were asked. Upon the com pletion of the course, all students were given certificates of attendance. By special request, a student could have a confidential report sent to his college. There were no finals or grades! In addition to the schedule of courses the college provided weekly excursions. Each week thirty tickets were available for the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. There were trips to the University of Cambridge for a day, to Broughton Castle and Aynhoe Park, to Longleat and Bath, to Great Tew, and to Compton Wyngates. Too, the students were invited to many parties given by the president of the session; the secretary of the delegacy; the rector and fellows of Exeter College. These were sherry parties where one drank sherry, ate salties, and talked with the persons present. Dr. Dobson invited his class in linguistics to his home one evening, and after the course he gave a party for the class in the Senior Common Room of Jesus College. The article has not included the morning coffee breaks, the afternoon teas, the pubs, the plays in the city, the weekend trips (flights to London, Paris, Madrid, Dublin, Edinburgh by the adventurous!), the coffee after the evening lectures, sessions in the dor mitories, or experiences on the street and in the shops. But it implied that the city, the university with its long tradition of scholarship, the lectures and tutorials, the dons and students stimulated a tremendous amount of learning. Coragreene Johnstone SCA Members at Conference The Virginia-North Carolina-South Carolina Sectional Meeting of the National Student YWCA was held in Richmond, Virginia, at the Episcopal Diocesan Center, October 26-28. The representatives from this col leges were: Maudie Branche, Dorothy Gotten and Geraldine Kidd. The Student Christian Association wishes to extend its welcome to all interested persons. This year, the club plans to provide many interesting activities for the members, and the student body. Mrs. L. E. Duers and Dr, J. A. Eaton are the group advisors.
