December, 1964 THE COMPASS PAGE THREE THE ROVING SPORTS EYE JETHRO WILLIAMS, Reporter Basketball Round-Up Why Not A Strong SCA There is a sense of apathy feh by observing the lack of parti- pation by members of the college family in organizations and acti vities on our campus. What are the reasons? Are the membership shortages indicative of the fact that some of our organizations are not functioning thoroughly, or Is it that they (the organizations) are not influential enough to fit in to the realm of our appreciation? One organization about which I wish to elaborate briefly is the Student Christian Association. This organization which was once strong in membership and function, has weakened to a very great and noticeable degree. On this campus there were two organi zations whose names differed, but whose functions were basically the same; the Young Men’s Christian Association and the Young Wo men’s Christian Association. The S.CA. is the generally ac cepted name xmder which these two organizatiorui function. However, they are still privileged to func tion locally independently of each other. The members of the S.C.A. are in the process of launching an all out campaign entitled, “Re quest For Membership.” Everyone should feel that each organizational make-up on this campus is equally as important as another, so long as it contributes to aiding in the development of optimum capacities of our college family —be it special, fraternal, athletic or religious. In behalf of this organization, I extend a hearty welcome to the student body, faculty and staff. “Do Not Wait, Do Not Delay, Become A Member Of The S.C.A.” We have gotten off to a slow start but we believe that in numbers there is unity; and we are also aware of the fact that an institu tion or organization can only be as sturdy as iU members. We ask you to contribute and JOIN THE S.C.A. TODAY. Plan now to attend the Holiday Tournament December 29, 30, 31 Norfolk State College Norfolk, Virginia W/io's W/io The Modem Dance Group has met and organized for the 1964- 65 school year. Tuesday-night meetings have been held. Officers for the year are Presi dent, Rose Madrey; Secretary, Evelyn Madrey; Treasurer, Brenda Mattison.

The new additions to the dance sroup this year are as follows; Deloise Beamon, Robert Bow- Jo Ann Bost, Gwendolyn Davenport, Glender Gamer, Bettie ^th, Kay F. Wilson, Bobby Har- riston, Fannie McKnight, Beverly Malory, Clarine Melson, Joyce Mills, and Armelia Whitfied Mrs, Valerie Vaughan is dance mrtructor. By Ingrid East Men are happy once again; the boufant hair style is taboo —^ o u t. The look is no longer top-heavy. Instead, the head appears sleek and small, and young er than ever. Hair lengths are from short to medium and definitely not below the shoulder. Why? Long hair can not afford or either complement today’s smart saucy, eye-catching fashions. Try the look yourself, with a full bang set off by curves and deep waves Or swirls and a few curls worn snug to the head. Your ears are either one extreme or the other; that is, they are bare or plush. For evening wear, ear rings are long and slim, or lusci ously clustered. Then for casual attire the ears are free of all adornment. This is the time when your hair can embellish the ears. If you find, however, that you cannot resist the full, puffed apear- ance, try the new pill box “hair” hats. By using these hints, how can any gentleman resist?

Be a Good Spectator By Jethro Williams There are few persons who pos sesses the potential, capacity or desire to be an outstanding parti cipant in sports, but there are none who do not have the quali fications to be a good spectator. What are the qualifications? First of all one must make his attendance known if you do not attend games then you aren’t a spectator. Another qualification is to have some knowledge of the game. It is almost impossible to enjoy something which you know very little or nothing about. It is as important to know when not to cheer as it is to know when to cheer. For instance, during a basketball game when a person is at the free throw line it is good sportsmanship to remain quiet. Show your re spect when the visiting team is attempting a free throw. Officials are human even though they may not show it at times. We all make mistakes so why can’t he. “Booing” displays one’s ignorance. There was a fine turn-out for the first basketball game, and the spirit was quite high. Neverthe less, there are those who did not attend. Please give the basketball team your support for the coming games. Good spectators are fifty percent of the game. On December 8, the home court of the “Vikings” was invaded for the first time this season by the “Falcon s” of St. Augustine, Raleigh. Both teams got off to a running start. St. Augustine found it hard to keep up the pace and with no more than 4 minutes of play, trail ed by more than 10 points. The sharp diooting of Richard Todd got the “Vikings” on the move as he poured in a game high of 20 points. Gary Stubbins hit from all comers of the floor. He was able to contribute 12 points to the cause. Fredrick Lewis, James WilUams, Rain Baths During the week-end the dams of heaven burst and all the wa ter in the universe seemed to ex plore Elizabeth City. It left nothing in its path untouched. The trees bent their heads as those diamond-like drops beat down upon them. The leaves shi vered when they felt the heavenly water on their necks. However, the grass did not seem to mind being drenched by that inevitable giant, for it was long overdue. The rain bouced on the pavement and left it as clean as. a thin sheet of ice. Every house and building that I saw seemed to give rise to a new life as they took their baths from that endless rain. The window panes cried tears that would have made excellent icicles had the tem perature been low enough. As for me, yes, I received my bath too. I stepped gracefully as anyone could from my dormitory enroute to the Lighthouse when the wind took my imibrella and left me standing there being bathed fully dressed. Alma Ormaiid For all of you eager-eyed hoop- sters, varsity basketball once more enters into the sports world of ECSC. The season opened with the first games on visiting courts.

Frank Neal was high in the rebound deparmtent. At half-time Coach Vaughan’s “Vikings” led by a score of 54-22. At the beginning of the second stanza, the team came back just as hot. As the bench was emptied, the entire team was able to get on the score books. When the final seconds ticked away, the “Vikings” had won by a score of 116-77. The Physics Department has recently been awarded several pieces of laboratory equipment from a Carnegie Grant. Mrs. Mary Aim Franklin, as sistant professor of Physics, studied at Cornell University this summer under this grant. Among these pieces of equipment, there is an Angu Momentum, which measures the time it takes to make a revolu tion; a Michelson Interferometer, which measures the velocity of light rays in a vacuum; a Ripple Tank; Centripetal Force Apparatus Kit; and an Inertia Balance Kit. These instruments are simple ap paratus, but they are designed to acquaint the students with the newest developmens in Physics on Relativity and Newton’s Dynamic. The Physics that is being taught today in schools throughout the country is being standardized by the Physical Science Study Com mittee. This study began at the high school level, but has gra dually worked its way into our col leges and imiversities. An old timer can recall when child psychology grew in clumps down by the creek. first journeyed to Winston-Salem to face the mighty “Rams” on De cember 1. Hoping to improve upon the previous season’s record, the team arrived on Winston-Salem’s campus with high hopes. Always one of the top powers in CIAA competion, the “Rams” would not be denied. With Richard Todd hitting from all positions on the hard wood, the “Vikings” were able to stay within close range. Todd was given many assists by the fine play-mak ing of Frederick Lewis, a fresh man from Brooklyn, New York. Not only did he set up various plays but played a big part in the actual scoring. Gary Stubbins was no more than his normal self. He was high in the double figures and despite his height was able to grab eleven rebounds off the boards. Claudie Mackey, Clifton Lewis, and Charles Davis gave fine per formances; however, their per formances were not enough as the “Vikings” went down by a score of 94-85. From Winston-Salem, the “Vik ings” started their travels back east, stopping at Shaw University on December 2 to entertain the Shaw “Bears.” Bitter from defeat the “Vikings” tried in vain to equal the score at Shaw. Both teams displayed fine basketball as the lead changed hands many times. Once more Todd and Stubbins scored high and rookie Frederick Lewis made himself known. The game ended with the Vikings loosing 82-79. Frank Neal and Claudie Mackey did a fine job in the rebound de partment. Returning home and ironing out a few mistakes, the “Vikings” in vaded the court of Delaware State on December 5. Many played a part in the ex citing game. The super stars were Gary Stubbins, Richard Todd, Frank Neal, Claudie Mackey, and Frederick Lewis. With such a fjne show, the game had to go into overtime, with the “Vikings” win ning 99-97. Victor Ryder In Concert The family and community of Elizabeth City Sitate College were very fortunate to have in concert Pianist Victor Ryder, on Novem ber 23, His concert, second of the Lyceum Series, was truly an ex cellent performance. At age twenty-five, Victor Ryder is a very gifted young man. Since his early teens, his appearances in solo recitals and with orchestras have evoked praise for their emo tional warmth, technical brillance, and imderstanding of a large variety of musical styles. Holder of two degrees from Yale University, Victor Ryder has been for three years on the faculty of Fisk University, in addition to his concert work. His accomplish ments in the past argue well for the future. Falcons'W hipped' Physics Department Given Carnegie Grant
