The Compass salutes each of

continue on this high level.
Better still, when the Lists are
published for the present semester,
let us hope that the total honorees
will have doubled!
Study in!
Bearers of
Light
Night with its darkness precedes
day and its accompanying light.
Man usually sleeps in darkness,
but the day comes, he is alert emd
active. It was Apollo, the sun of
Zeus and Leto, who flashed across
die heavens in the brilliant chariot
carrying light and dispeling dark
ness. Apollo was known for his
beauty, kindness, strength and
virility.
Through ages, Ught nas been
issed to men of youth, strength
id a sense of responsibility that
they might not only keep the light,
but that they in turn might cause
the light to shine and otherwise
be bearers of the light.
have physical fitness and
mental ability, we cannot produce
the Ught that is necessary to
pierce the darkness of ignorance,
distrust, and pessimism unless we
are in possession of the spiritual
flame. To have the spiritual flame,
one must possess faith and belief
in the fatherhood of God, and
brotherhood of man.
If one can be fortunate enough
to possess the flame of physical
fitness, mental hygiene, and spirit
uality, he is thrice blessed. But to
be able to have the complete light,
st possess the assistance
that comes from the lamp of
knowledge wtih its many and
varied jets, its wealth from his
tory, its logic and reasoning from
philosophy, its delving into the
sciences all the way from the
bowels of the earth to yon outer
spaces, its magic of chemistry and
the divinely reasoning of theology.
We live in America, with its
natural wealth, its rich natural re
serves, its spirit of democracy, its
dedication to equal opportunity,
and its opportunity for pioneering
along untrodden paths. Who does
the future of America depend
upon?
It is the men and women of this
level in life and society to whom the
world looks for the light which
is so desperately needed.
Beneath the tree of knowledge
here, we must find our strength
and lose our fears. Through learn
ed might, we “Vikings,” must earn
the right to go and spread the
light. —Carl Davis
A Message From
The College Minister
Sanford-Cannon
Law Office
Governor Terry Sanford of
North Carolina, whose term will
end in January, and Hugh Can
non, Director of Administration
plan to open a law office in Ra
leigh the latter part of March,
1965.
Other persons who will be con
nected with the Sanford—Cannon
Law Office are John Hunter and
Charles G. Pase III, who are con
nected with the Department of Ad
ministration.
Governor Sanford has been
thinking very hard about establish
ing a law officer in Charlotte. At
the end of his term he plans to
return to Fayetteville to rest for
two or three months, make several
out-of-state speeches, and then
open the Sanford—Cannon Law
Office. —Ethel G. Sutton
Almost
By Willaim Ebison
When we’ve tried and failed the
task we tried.
Our flaming ego hasn’t died;
We say “almost” and feel satisfied
But I wonder what we’ll do
When we’ve tried and tried with
all our strength
To show the Lord the good we
meant,
And then miss Heaven by’ a
length
Of just a foot or two?
By R. Irving Boone
(Note: I am pleased to contri
bute this initial article, set
ting forth the philosophy, the
functions and the organiza
tional structure of the Com
mittee on Religious Life here
at E.C.S.C. Subsequent arti
cles will be contributed by
other members of our Com
mittee, with the general policy
that of projecting student
leadership.—RIB)
In the best traditions of Eliza
beth City State College, the Com
mittee on Religious Activities is
dedicated to the happy task of
providing spiritual enrichment for
the total campus life. The purpose
inspire creative thinking, to
enhance self-discipline and to
create a climate conducive to
noble living.
The Committee conceives of the
spiritual aspect not as a compart
mentalized detached entity, but
rather as a vital and integral part
of the educational process; an
essential and indispensable element
in the proper development of per
sonality.
Functional Units
While the varied religious activi-
:s on the campus constitute a
single composite — with certain
basic objectives and goals—^the im
plementing of these objectives is
effectuated through the specialized
services of various functional units.
The Sunday School. A major
reUgious emphasis organization is
that of the College Sunday School.
It is in session each Sunday morn
ing, 9:00-10:15. The superinten
dent is David Freeman; the
tary, Carol Ashe. Currently, there
staff of twelve regular and
associate discussion group leaders
(S.S. teachers)—all of whom are
students. Mr. L. D. Draper, faculty
member, is the supervising teacher,
in charge of the weekly teachers’
meetings.
Recently, the Sunday School ob
served “Faculty Day,” with
total of fifteen faculty-staff mem
bers serving leadership roles. The
attendance was an aU-time high.
From time to time, there are dif
ferent approaches and special fea
tures in the program of the Sun
day School, emphasizing variety-
interests.
The Student Christian Associa
tion — (SCA). This organization
specializes in the areas of service
traditionally delegated to the Y.M.
and Y.W.C.A.’s. The SCA in
terprets life—in its various facets—
in terms of the Christian purpose.
To this end, it addresses itself to a
board program of activities in
volving character building. Also,
special attention is given to the
matter of encouraging participation
in the civic life and various com
munity-related activities.
A recent project, successfully ex
ecuted by SCA, was that of the
distribution of baskets to needy
famihes during the Thanksgiving
season.
Mrs. Isabelle Booker is presi
dent of this organization; Mr.
Chester Gregory is faculty advisor.
The United Campus Christian
Fellowship (UCCF). Another unit
of the religious life program on
our campus—recently instituted—
is that of the United Campus
Christian Fellowship. An organi
zation with the ecumenical empha
sis, the UCCF provides an effective
forum for representatives of the
various communions on the cam
pus, with opportunities for periodic
discussions of topics of mutual in
terest. The student leaders identi
fied with the fellowship serve as
counselors and consultants for
other students affiliated with
various faiths.
The initial meeting of this organ
ization featured a panel discuss
ion, “How We May Enrich the
Spiritual Life on Our Campus.”
Participants were: Helen Johnson,
Izola Young, Martha Hathway.
Related readings were done by
Carol Ashe and Phyllis Ballance.
The president of the UCCF is
Richard Hart; the secretary is
Izola Young.
The Newsletter. Still another
recent innovation is that of the
Newsletter, a medium of informa-
and publicity, released periodi
cally throu^ the Office of ReU
gious Activities. This instrument is
designed, further, to translate the
functions and purposes of the reli
gious emphasis program and to
facilitate the general promotion of
the same.
The water of life will flow to us
only if it flows through us. You
can’t keep it unless you give it
away. You can’t even have it. The
greatest thing in the world changes
color and taste even while you
hold it. Let go of it quickly—^pass
it on. God is love, and love is
what passes through. Love does
not mean self-love. Love is love
only if it passes on.
God Bless Christmas
By LOUVELLIA JOHNSON
God bless your Christmas wherever
you are
And keep your courage bright;
For the spirit of man is the Light
of God,
And it glows on the darkest
night.
God bless your Christmas
wherever you are
And keep you strong in faith;
For the Spirit of God is the
Refuge of man
And the Light in his dwelling
place.
