Support Your Activities Every year the question arises, should students be pressured into attending student activities? This question usually has reference to assemblies, lyceum series, and pro grams involving our school mates. With these pressures, few students attend and without them the number would probably be even less. We as students have come up with various arid unsound reasons for not attending these activities. The final analysis is that for some reason, we are rebelling. Psych ologists call it rebelling against au thority, a trade-mark of imma turity. All through the past school year, these conditions existed and it looks as if this term will be a repeat. A true example is the an nual Candlelight Service. Once the freshmen left the auditorium the place was almost bare. Surely they must have thought that they were the entire school population. Where were the upperclassmen? In most cases it is the duty of the upperclassmen to inspire and lead the incoming freshmen. As the foundation of this institution, it looks as if we have relieved our selves of these two very small re sponsibilities. Don’t let this school year be come a drag and a complete failure by staying in the dorm or sporting around campus when there is a stu dent activity going on. Many of our schoolmates have worked very hard in preparation of these ac tivities and when we fail to show up, it is a terrible let-down and an inspiration-killer. Other activities such as lyceums and assemblies are for our per sonal achievement just as movies and dances are. We as mature individuals should pledge to our selves to attend all activities, whether they be social, academic, or spiritual. This school year represents a new era for all of us. It can be come the best year of our school careers and it can become the biggest flop. We have two directions in which to travel but only one choice. The success of this school year depends upon individual de cisions. It is extremely im portant that we choose intellig ently. Fellow students support all of your activities and they will sup port you. Without your presence they are doomed to fail.

Welcome back, college folks, to the dear Alma Mater . . . Eliza beth City State College! Big things are in store for you and all of them are good. What are these things? Just look about you! The ground is broken . . . buildings are in the process of being built, and the Lighthouse College Center is moving right along with this constructive prog ress too! Let’s face it, we’re living in a complex and forever changing world. In order for us to go along with this rhythm, there must be certain tools to assist us. These tools come in certain shapes and certain styles, namely, instruc tional materials, the buildings, and equipment within these buildings. Though these tools are at your fingertips, a large part of how well you progress depends upon the correct use of these tools by YOU, as directed by your teachers and by your dedication to learn ing. Yes, we have excellent teachers in our classrooms, but they may put out so much, and it’s up to you to take it in. Now, don’t mis understand me; like the old say ing, “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.” Let’s compromise. How? By spending some of your leisure time enjoying your Lighthouse College Center. Here is the place to come and throw away the worries of the day and participate in a discussion just for the sake of conversation, and getting to know what the other fella is thinking about. It may be about Viet Nam, or The Impres sions! Whatever it may be, you won’t have to worry about being graded for it, but it may help your grades. Since the Lighthouse College Center is the “living room” on our campus, it is an ideal spot to meet informally, get acquainted with our college faculty and staff, and they in turn with us. WTio knows, you may even benefit by just talking informally, because being a good listener as well as a good talker makes it possible for you to hear other points of view. Take a break from your studies. But don’t close your mind from gaining knowledge, whether you be playing cards, reading the newspaper, or working out a crossword puzzle, because life it self is a learning process . . . play constructively, work constructively . . . to improve yourself and the Lighthouse College Center pro gram. Good Luck! Joan C. Smith. President Lighthouse College Center A Freshman's Viewpoint... Several freshmen were asked to give their impressions of ECSC. The following were given: “I found the atmosphere and the people encouraging. I feel that my abilities will reacl) their maximum goals while I am a student at ECSC.” Brenda Pearson “All of my anticipated hopes of ECSC were fulfilled when I ar rived here on Sept. 9. My dreams of a rewarding life are sure to come true.” Lillian Brooks “I think college life is something that every high school senior should look forward to. To follow in the footsteps of other former leaders of this college is my desire. College life here has helped me feel as if I will be ready for all upcoming and future opportuni ties. I’m hoping that all of the freshmen will help Elizabeth City to become an even belter place for living." William T. Powell “The first few days were like nothing that I had imagined. Once I got the names of buildings straight and classes in order, every thing began to work out. My classmates and the upperclassmen have been helpful in many ways. I’ve found my instructors ready to give assistance, even on their own time. ECSC is filled with the feeling of belonging that many lar ger institutions do not have. As the school grows. I hope to grow with it.” Terry Quinlan Boosters Visit Capital A tour of the national cap'ta' was taken by the high school grad uates attending the Pre-Colleee Booser Study program at ECSC July 17. The pre-college students. Booster staff and faculty left by chartered bus early Saturday morn ing July 17, for Washington, D.C. and returned late Saturday night. The group visited the White House, Capitol, Kennedy’s Grave. Smithsonian Institution, the Wash ington Monument and the Air and Space Institute. The field trip was one of the several activities planned for the students in the Pre-College Booster program conducted this summer. We Welcome You GREETINGS from the Office of the Director of Student Per sonnel and welcome to ELIZA BETH CITY STATE COLLEGE! We trust that your stay here will be a pleasant one and that it will be a rich and rewarding experi ence for you. It is our sincere hope that your presence and actions while here will contribute to the stature of the college, and that you will grow mentally, soci ally, physically, morally and spirit ually as you participate in the various types of activities and opportunities which campus life offers. We realize that many of you may be living away from home for the first time and that this may be a difficult period for you. Cam pus life, though somewhat dif- ftrent (perhaps more confining and regimental) can be as interesting and fulfilling as family life at home. We here at Elizabeth City State College look upon the cam pus as our home and the members of the institution as a part of a hrge family. We want you to feel that you are also a part of this family and that you, too, “be long.” The offices of the Director and Associate Director of Student Per- FACULTY NOTES Summer study occupied the at tention of several faculty and staff members during the recent warm months.

Upper Classmen, We Are Important We may seem little. We may look small, but without the Freshmen this school would fall. We know we haven’t been here very long. But still—don’t look at us as if we don’t belong. We all entered college with a very large fee. They took money from you — they took money from me. We are all here with the same purpose in mind. This I hope, all of us will find. So pause a moment and listen to me, we’ll soon be upperclass men, just you wait and see. Yvonne Johnson sonnel are open to you at all times for whatever assistance you might need, or which we can give, in solving many of the new and per plexing problems that might arise during your sojourn here. Please feel free to visit either of our offices at any time. I Charles A. Ramsey, Director. I Rae Williams, Associate Director Freshmen!
