JULY, 1965 THE COMPASS PAGE THREE Boosters Speak Out By Teresa Hathaway Robert Hughes Your "Living Room” Bettie J. Ajihe We are enthusiatically looking forward to the time when we move into what is presently the G. R. Little Library. We now have a program that has out grown the old facilities and with your help and cooperation we can make our new program even more successful. The Lighthouse College Center has published a leaftlet entitled an introduction to your “LIVING ROOM” AT ECSC. This publication was originally in tended for newcomers to our cam pus but all students may be in terested in the section concerning the history, structure and purpose of Student Unions, There are copies of the leaflet available in the Lighthouse now. I suggest that you come by and pick up one. Several students have given us valuable ideas for carrying out our program. We appreciate these suggestions, but 1 solicit member ship to carry out these ideas. There is no one who can express your own idea better than you. We are interested in improving the appearance of our Lighthouse. We need your help. We have a sign posted reminding you to put your soda bottles in the proper place. Small things like hanging your coats on rainy days and put ting chairs under the table when you leave will aid much in the general appearance of the present facilities. Above all, enjoy the Lighthouse. Utilize the magazine, newspapers, and television we have available. Come to the Lighthouse and play games with your friends during our regular game hours. Come to the dances and other affairs that we have. Make the Lighthouse Center the center of your recrea tion this summer.

A Long Road (Continued from Page 2) 8>ves the real meaning in life. is also your task, your co operation helps to make that step an enduring print for the elimina tion of poverty for all of us. Throughout the states of North Carolina, Virginia and the city of Washington, D. C. have come 108 students to the campus of ECSC for the first Pre-College Booster Study Program in the history of the institution to booster them selves academically. Several of the participating boosters have commented and given their opinions on the various aspects of the program to the Cam- pass Staff. We would like to share them with you, our readers. “The Pre-Booster Program is an excellent and rewarding experi ence for American Youth if they take advantage of it,” states lero- line White. “The Pre-Booster Program should be considered by all stu dents because of its importance in preparing one to enter college. I hope that next year more colleges and high school graduates will realize the necessity of this type program,” commented Charles Bennett. “Every graduate who is planning to further his education should enter this type program to help him master his college education; I think the program is very inspir ing,” quotes Mary Roundtree. Our College Union By Joan C. Smith President of the Student Activities Committee What does the Lighthouse Cen ter mean to You? Is it a haven where you may erase the problems of the day, indulge in the cultural and the social activities, or just plain fun and relaxation? You know, you are the force which makes our Union what it is today. Without your participation, the Lighthouse is just a building, symbolizing nothing. We realize that there are certain limitations which are confronting us, but as time continues, we are ever improving our status, as far as material things are concerned. Let’s support the five committees of our Union. Not until the Fine Arts, the Forum, the Hospitality, the Recreation, and the Social Dance Committees are function ing up to par, will we truly be uni fied. Some people can find the worst in anything. Though they com plain, it is very rare when you can find one of these talkers behind what he says, by working diligent ly for improvement. Don’t you be guilty of this fault. We need more doers and less talkers. Words may sound harmonious to the ear, but action is a much more rewarding satisfaction. Be constructive, do more, help your College Union succeed. Power Plant Lighthouse Center are somewhat like a power plant. Each plant ignites electricity, and sends it out through the electric wires. The wires symbolize the co-chairmen of each committee. There is a generating station that compiles all of the electric power at one point, the Student Activities Com mittee. This committee is the executive station which is com posed of all the co-chairmen. At this last way station, there is a mixing of all of the electric power from the various points. What the product will be, depends upon your wise selection of your leaders, and the support you give them. The light which the com munity (college) receives, whether dim or bright, depends upon the efficiency of the power plants. The Lighthouse beacon is a reflection on you—because YOU are the force behind our Union. Thelma O. Banks comments, “The program will be profitable especially to those of us who will take advantage of it. For the pro gram to be a success, we must work to our maximum capacity.” Robert Sesson believes that the Booster Program is a worthwhile investment. He further states that it will give each of us an opportu nity to the big change which will confront us this fall, socially as well as academically. “The time invested in the Booster will certainly be a worth while effort and it will challenge us to open our minds as we go in the diverse field of endeavor,” comments James Jackson. “The Booster program seems to be the best summer program that I have ever attended. I feel this way because of the opportunities it offers to develop one in the areas where he is weak before entering college. Some programs help students booster in areas they want to be boostered in rather that areas they need to be boostered in. If each individual applies himself to his studies, he should be well prepared for college this fall," comments Glenwood Jordon. Barbara Hodges finds the pro gram very interesting. She believes the program will stimulate young people in accepting college re sponsibility and working to gain knowledge as well as grades. Annette Turner regards the pro gram as one of the most important educational opportunities ever or ganized for the benefit of young people. Quite humorous, yet serious, Yvonne Johnson replied, ‘'To me, I think the Pre-Booster Program is of great significance to us if we only apply ourselves. It will enable us to be prepared for the fall in various subject areas. I think the title was well named for it is in deed “boostering” and “working.” Awarded Degree (Continued from Page 1) Bachelor of Science Degree in F>du- cation with Honor.

By Yvonne Johnson In order for you to do well and suceed. Get all the education you can and need. Don't play with education as if it were a toy. Let it be your great pride and joy. In this Booster Study Program, Studying our books, we must be found. This is required to benefit us. So study hard, "Don’t put up a fuss.” Migrants View Campus By R. E. D«l(e An initial preliminary meeting and two more rehearsal meetings preceded the six o’clock rendez vous of Saturday evening, June 26, in front of Moore Hall, for stu dents of Elizabeth City State Col lege who were to give entertain ment to a near-by canrp of migrant workers and for the sponsors of the students. The heavy press of duties in the crash summer school program rendered it impossible to have the services of all the stu dents whose presence on the pro gram had been anticipated. How ever, approximately thirty minutes after the scheduled time of de parture, a bus, two other vehicles, and a pick-up truck carrying a piano set out for the migrant camp. The destination was soon reached, and those who arrived first awaited official confirmation that they were in the right camp. The last vehicle arriving brought the desired confirmation and the official workers to establish re lations between the camp and the college representatives. Lively Program Soon, a big truck was placed in such a way that its rear plat form could serve as a stage with a microphone hooked to the can teen. The pick-up truck carrying the piano was parked beside the truck which provided the stage. The pianist played accompaniment right on the pick-up truck, one of its sides serving as her seat. From the rear platform of the larger truck, a skillful master of cere monies quickly aroused the en thusiasm of all present. The pro gram can be aptly described by the familiar words “short but sweet.” After a little singing from the college performers and some humor from the Emcee, the pro gram was strengthened by active participation from the migrant workers themselves. They pro vided singing and dancing. Throughout the program, the audience of migrant workers seemed to be divided into two distinct parts: little boys sitting on bushel baskets turned upside down and older people sitting on or leaning against a station wagon. Although the program seemed to make a hit with all, the little boys seemed even nrrore interesting and interested than the adults. The lads were well-behaved and watched everything with obvious pleasure. Some of their elders were helping shove others of the boys’ elders to the improvised stage. It was hardly dark when the program ended, but there was a feeling of satisfaction that some thing worthwhile had been done. The people from the College were back in front of Moore Hall by eight-thirty or thereabouts. It's good to have money, and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too. to check up once in a while and be sure you haven’t lost the things money can’t buy. I’m sure this will ^be heard in every life span. The helpful advice—“Do the best you can.” When all of this has been done. You can rest assure, the fight has been won. So it’s time now to put all jokes aside, And by the school rules, let us abide. In our class work, let us all be devoted, And in the end, we will be promoted! 'eet Une ZJwini AUCE AND MABLE JOHNSON Eastman High School, Enileld, N.C. by Teresa Hathaway and Corine Deloatche Among the 106 “Booster” stu dents that are here for the sum mer are two beautiful twins, who plan to matriculate to Elizabeth City State College this fall. The twins, Alice and Mable Johnson, are graduates of Eastman High School in Enfield, North Carolina. Active in their school activities, they belonged to the following clubs, the Crown & Scepter Club, the Student Government, the Com mercial Club and Bus Control Staff. They also held member ship in New Homemakers of America’s Club, Charm and Cul ture Club, Band and Booster Club, and the Gamma Beta Mathematics Club. We would like to share with you some of the “likes” and “dis likes” of the unique pair, since this is an exceptional case on our campus this summer. Alice is I fond of the ’65 Mustang, fried ' pork chops, cherry pie and basket ball. She favors casual clothes and feels inclined to baby blue as her favorite color. She pos sesses a keen appreciation for rhy thm and blues music, and thus her hobby is collecting those types of recordings. Mable regards with favor the ’64 Impala, chicken salad, basket ball, and football. She shares with her sister the fondness for baby blue and rhythm and blues music. She likes boys who have nice i>ersonality, and whose height is medium. Books such as Little Women, Macbeth and Hamlet in terest her most. Alice dislikes: devils food cake, all shades of brown and dark green. Mable feels an aversion for coconut cake, brown, and green. The 17 year old pair (Alice is 5 ft. 1V4 ins. and weighs 113 lbs.; and Mable is 5 ft. 2 in. and geighs 103 lbs.) were bom August 29, 1947 in Hollister, North Carolina. They are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Johnson, of Hollister. Queenie Passes Away On July 6, Queenie, the campus mascot, passed on to another world—a world she will share with many other dogs such as she. In that new world, she will also reign as queen. Since her death, there have been many discussion over her actual age. Some said she was here before Mr. Wamack, others stated that her tenure is somewhere along with that of Miss Johnson. Mr. Thomas has set her age between 16 and 20. If this is true, then in actual dog age, Queenie was around 140 years old. Through the years, Queenie has seen many graduations, new build ings constructed, and changes in (Continued on Page 4) "Education First '
