Will You Vote Wisely? ‘ The right to vote is unquettion- ably one of the most sensitive rights in our country today. Men and womeo have suffered and died to have the freedom to ex ercise this right. This, of cour^. happens with, what you might say. the power structure vote"; but your vote here on campus can mean the difference in a powerful, functioning organization and in one which is regressing into ■‘nothingness." When you cast your ballot for officers of the Student Council and also for "Miss ECSC." what will constitute your selection of candi dates? Will the selection be b«sed on the “ninning-buddy-for-office” philosophy, the fratemity-hrother- for-prestige for the “frat” or the "Soror Sis" for the same reason, or will there be other reasons based on everything except QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE OFRCE? Select candidates carefully! Vote wisely! Support faithfully. Voting is serious business and so is de pendable leadership. One of the world's greatest dis coveries is how to use blood from one human to save the life of an other. On May 7, at ECSC. there will be a "Bloodmobile On Cam pus—BMOC. Because of this discovery, thou sands of people are alive today Many are laughing children and happy young mothers. Many sur vived horrible accidents and major operations. Many might not have lived except for the availability of blood from some other human being. Because of this discovery, medi cal science has been able to ex plore whole new areas of life-sav ing. such as. open-heart surgery and the development of dozens of new treatments to combat and cure many types of hitherto fatal diseases. The discovery of the life-saving ability of human blood raised a A Hint to the Wise Early morning sunrises, green lawns, warm breezes, and lovers strolling across campus are sure indicators that spring weather has come. What does spring really bring in addition to the above men tioned? It brings feeling of slug gishness. more time spent on "the block,” final examinations, friend lier atmosphere, final examina tions. quizzes, short essay tests, and rem«mber f i a a I exMiina- tioos. It's spring now. but think how sluggish it would be in summer school. Should we say more? Can We Help? B> Atoo Cbapmn .Mon than likely, the illiterate irtdividual was able to remain well-infonned with his times a hundred or more decades ago. This could have been possible be cause communications was in its primitive stages, and verbal cor- respondance was faster and pos sibly more accurate. Today in our faster changing worid. this is not feasible. Why isn't it so? History is being made before our very ■ eyes, and it is becoming even more difficult for us to analyze each, and every phase of its activity. We! are no longer enveloped in own problems because we committed, in ccMtscieoce. to aid other less fortunate countries work out their baffling dilemmas. Each day we pick up the news paper. we read of some trouble- spot in the worid. We see that this great nation of ours has under taken to intervene for the sake of peace. Occasiooaly. we pick up the newspaper and learn that we have failed in our efforts to restore peace and tranquility in some area. When we have acknowledged the fact that We have failed, do we ask ourselves why this has hap-, pened? Do we question the motives of these people for having rejected our help and assistance? Have often wondered if we could have aided or even hindered this na tion’s success in its negotations. or been mere passive readers and thinkers in the affairs of our . fatherland? ^ We should profit by our reading in considering our personal obliga- ticMis toward uniting this changing world. Since the eyes of the world are upon us for example. I should acquire knowledge through reading, in order that we may be better equipped to face realities U'e must learn how to put the les sons learned through reading I practice by being co-operative, tol erant. industrious, open-minded, sociai-minded. and loyal citizens. We will then feel that we are an instrument, however small, in see ing to it that we have helped to push AJnercia's policy of peace, unity and love, with brotherhood, "from sea to shining sea." What's Your Line? By Lyretta Egglestoo Thursday morning. April at 10 A.M. the English Club pre-1 sented a question and answer dis-. cusion entitled “What's Your Line in Literature?" There were two teams partici- , paling in the question and answer series. The first team was com posed of juniors; Thelma Bynum. Ethel Fulford Davis. Georgia Brouks. Bessie Carr and Joyce Scott. Team number two was com posed of seniors; Geraldine Wright Lewis. Gwendolyn Sutton. Ruth Dugger. Janice Harrison, and Ruby Perkins. All participants on the teams were English majors. Jethro Wil liams. also an English major, di rected questions to the two teams. At the close of the program tbe juniors had won by a score of 280 to 165. Dean Anderson con gratulated both teams on their problem that at first seemed im possibly to overcome—supply! How possibly could such blood be col-1 lected... from and by whom ... ; every week, to meet the need*?. This tremendous job was partial ly undertaken by the American | National Red Cross, a voluntary I organization of 47 million mem-i bers and two million volunteer, workers. It is their responsibility! to recruit donors to collect blood, to process and store it. and to dis tribute it where it is needed. To provide blood, the Red Cross set up 56 Mood program regions throughout the country. The Red Cross collects about half of the blood used in the country. The main reason that this pro gram became a success and lives are being saved is the willingness of Americans to give a unit of their blood from lime to time to' save the lives of others. This truly one of the great miracles of| our country: We are proud that Elizabeth City Stau College is participating in a program for such a worthy Who lifted the moon, the sun and the stars Into the sky . . . Who controls the wind as it passes by . . . NVho speaks through the thunder, lighting and Rain . . . It's GOD — who else has such a brain. , Who knows what you will say be- I fore you speak the word . . . ; Who has his eye On every single j bird . . . Who can predict every race before It is GOD THE FATHER AND HIS SON. —Lou«e>lia Johnson Get Your Yearbook The Yearbook Committee plans to issue the 1%5 Year book to students prior to June 4. 1965. the date on which the regular school session et>ds of ficially.

' aCetter to the Editor j Faculty, Staff, Student Body: How do you say, "Good-bye"? It seems such a simple thing to do. When we think of the thousands of words at otir cotmnaDd, we would think it to be relatively easy to let the words flow forward in beautiful poetic phrases. Persooal' ly, throughout life I have found this a far more difficult task. Thus, I have come to this cooclusioa; Friends do not say. "Goodb^fe-" I will always cherish the mo ments I have spent with you as I your co-worker. And to each of I you co-workers—faculty and staff, it has truly been wonderful working with you in our endeavor to shape the minds of today which I will determine our destiny of to- I morrow. , Co-workers — student body, I pray ar>d sincerely hope that I I have been able to give you a spark ,of li^t to make your trip on (be road into tmnorrow a little bri^t- “lliat dining room food really did something for me." ECSC Offers Pre-College Booster Study Program for Higfi School Grads “I was looking yooog until 1 came to coHege." superb performance and presented the juniors with a literary plaque on which will be engraved their class and the year. Tbe audience was greatly chal lenged during the question and answer period by getting an op portunity to search their own minds for the correct answers. It ^ was a chance for all to see just where they stood in literature. Grants in aid of $300 each will be awarded ICO high school graduates by Elizabeth City State College for pre-college academic "boosting." to improve academic status before college entrance this fall, sponsored by funds granted under the Federal Economic Opportunity Act.
