StudcBt CooncQ Once again tbe time is bei« when the Student Council pauses to extend a welcome and greetjogs to ail incomiog freshmen, trans fer. and returning, students. We look forward to having you as a member of our college family. Tbe occasion will arise, we are sure, which will enable us to work close together. Most of you have come to col lege for many different reasons. Some of you have come to keep from working on tbe farm; othen have come because you thought it to a place of fun. parties, and ex citement; and some to please your parents. However, we beLeve that most of you have cmne to gel an education. In your four-jear stay lor whatever your time require ments are) you must exploit all of the educational facilities provided by “Old Slate." College has never promised you, or aoyoDe else, any more than blood, sweat, tears, and tiard woiit. While it is true that the work is hard and the hours are long, the rewards of such are great. We en courage you to participate in extra curricular activities, attend athletic games, visit the Lighthouse, and ! attend tbe movies; Iwt also study your lessons, attend the lyceiuns, I assemblies, vespers, religious pro grams, and tbe library. This is the only way we can develop socially, physically, academically, and re ligiously—and thus. t>ecome truly educated men and women. The Student Council hopes that all of you can become scholars and leaders, pedlar and success ful; and we would like to see all of you make the “Dean's List’* or “the Honor Roll.'* Houever, should you falter in attaining these goals, we hope that you can pick your self up and try a little harder the next time. Success is very impor tant. but the “will to succeed" is even more important. Tbe Student Council welcomes the chance to help you adjust to College life. If you should have any problems, the door to the Student Council office is always open, wel coming everyone to come ■"^‘■1^ We have been established to rep-' resent you. and only by working together cooperatively and sharing learning experiences equally, can college life be successful. Welcome to “Viking Land." You I are among the finest that North Carolina and the world have to 1 offer. Council Veep Asks, "Where Do You Stand” By Isaac Askew >Vbere did you stand at last semester's end? Were you success ful or unsuccessful in your grades? At the beginning of last Septem ber. you had either of four choices from which to select; (1) the Dean's List (2) Honor Roll (3) tbe Passing List, or (4) tbe Probation List. Where do you hope lo stand at this semester's end? Which list will you choose to pursue? It's really up to you. The challenge is here whettier or not you accept it. Perhaps you need to take another self inventory. Do you see tbe need for greiter use of tbe library this semester? Will, you put forth more effort to use other reliable sources that will also enhance >our intellectual development? At tend more conferences? Lets' start this semester off with a “Boom for Belter Grades-” Con sider setting your aims high enough so that the challenge which you undertake will become a real and lasting one. Apply yourself so that at this semester's end you can truthfully say. “I stand on the steps of progress and achievement, and not on the steps ot retrogression.' Traveling in Style By Richard Hart All during this basketball season the “Vikings" basketball team has demonstrated its unity not- only on the pla>ing court Init also in their personal dress while the) are on the road. All the players are -ow wearing blue blazers and gray -hcks to and from the game played away from home. When he coach was ask about this he had this to say; “When our team walks into a gym with everyone wearing the same thing it shows the people there the unity of our team as a ball club.” The emblem that is on the t^az- er is different from that worn b> (he general studem body. It is a special emblem given to the team by its coach which sa>-s “Basiet- ball team of Elizabeth City State College.” The fact that our team is one of tbe best dressed in the CIAA conference is something we can be proud of. Annual Fine Arts Festival April 1-11, 1965 MAKE A DATE! Love Is the 1 Boone Inspires Tender Trap” Tbe old hypothesis of ancient philosophers and prophets that it was love that made tbe world go round, stands today as one of the greatest theorizati»s of our gene- ratton. Just as the heritage of our country, which is one of its foun dations. ceases to progress and falls, then this country will even tually fall This is why our society is striving to preserve its great heritage. More important than this is the fact that if America loses sight of the divine source of its strength, it will risk the loss of the liberty We all cherish so dearly. If it for gets this fact then our happiness and freedom could hang from very thin threads. Is it not a fact that our country seeks peace among men and nations? is it not a fact that where there is love, there is peace? Peace is but an empty word unless it is nurtured and animated by charity. Therefore, in order for America as well as any other nation to build upon tbe structure of peace, it will take individual after individ ual to encompass k>ve, and then peace within tumself. Even the late Pope John XXIIl said that, “the world will never be the dwell- mg—place of peace, till the love for mankind has found a home in the heart of each and every man. "A Youth Who Met Life's Su preme Challenge Courageously” »as the Vesper message delivered by Dr. R. Irving Boone, College minister, on January 31. His theme was based ra tbe par. able of tbe younger son, with spe cial reference to Luke 15:17*18. Dr. Boone brought out the fact that the parable of the younger son is “The most divinely tender and humanly touching story’ told. The father in this story is a symbol of God, our heavenly Father; the son b a symbol of un iversal m a n k i n d:—choosing, er ring, resolving. It tells of a youth who turned his back on God. In doing this he was exercising his God-given right of choice. Then Dr. Boone mentioned the faa that one must be careful not to abuse this right, and thai there are limitations. N\’e should always remember our rights and where the other person's begin. The point was brought out that meeting life's supreme challenge in volves I) self-discovery and self- discipline, (2) a high resolve, (3) courage to act, courage to pursue the right of choice, and 4) per sonal commitment to the highest good and God. As a closing thoughi he said: “Those individuals who have the convictions, the resolves, and the courage to give God their first allegiance are the ones who win." Was It Registration? By Avon Chapman "One b for the show, two is for to go. three b for the money, and four get ready!" This statement may appear to many people as being rather comi cal. To some, it may appear un usual OT quite COTifusing. However, in the c^>inion of many of tbe stu dents who participated in registra- tiwi here «m Febrtiary 1, 1%5. it was quite a tedious and unorganiz ed process. As one student stated, “it wasn't the procedure of actually signing the roll which was frustrating, but it was the unorganized manner which the students were directed to begin it." In the words of other, “It was like getting a slow start down a bumpy hill.” Well it's over now, and the ques tion of whether it was really registration or a prelude lo a mass conglomeration of over-anxious and baffled students remains t seen.

Welcome to all BETT\’E TERES.\ DOWDY New Look for Lighthouse By Clurlk Jrffriw, Jr. Has everyone noticed the change in the appearance of our College Lighthouse Center? If you haven't I don’t see how you missed it. With the adding of glass plated ^ doors our College living room hasi taken on a new appearance which! I am sure we all appreciate. Not | only that, it now sports awnings' over the doors. It has been said that the Light house Center is usually tbe first place one visits when coming on campus. It seems that we all like' to lounge around a place that is ] clean and attractive, so let’s re- I member when entering through I new glass doors we have to be a little more careful than we had to in the be^nning. You can see tJirough glass, but you can't walk through it! Hazo, Lyceum Speaker The Lyceum event of the Col lege presented oo Fet>ruary 11, was Robert G. Hazo, Lecturer, tbe first Lyceum of the second semes ter. Mr. Hazo b tbe Associate Direc tor of the Institute for Philosophi-| ;al Research at the University of' Chicago and Assistant to Mor timer J.

The lecturer provided informa tion regarding these most recent publications and talked on "Great Ideas as They Pertain to Today’s Living." One Wish By James Dickersos 'f f had but one wish for the )tar that has just started would not wish for gold nor that >vhich has departed. ' would not fear the future dot would I regret the past; For I would be far too strong and I know my strength would last Precious my wish would be and forever would remain; With it I know my life would never be the same. If I bad this one wish all ray problems I would solve. If you could have your one wish you ^t>bably would not agree That my wish would be to you as it b to me. God only knows if my wish will ever come tn»e! If it does I assure you I will never again be blue. Now if you take a closer look my one wish you will see I wish that I could understand mjself and all that's around me. Write Poems?

(better io the Editor Dear Editor First of all, let me thank you and your staff for keeping my name on your mailing list. It has been simply wonderful lo keep tab on many of my former students through your excellent news paper. Next, may I commend you for presenting your version of the Life Magazine's article, Xollege Pressures'^ By doing this, I think you have done your readers a great service by forcing ihem to think of the rationale behind the intense academic pace many colleges are now requiring. Many of our students are blissfully ignorant of the new demands our integrated ‘"Great Society" will make upon the college graduate. Perhaps you have helped en lighten them. On the other hand, I wonder if all of us should not ponder seriously your final question: “Academic America is moving for ward. but is it moving in the right direction?" Many of us feel that it b not. Keep up the good work! Yours truly, James A. Eaton, Director of Testing and Counseling Services Savaimah (Ga.) State College
