PAGE TWO THE COMPASS may, 1967 THE COMPASS For Students and Alumni Published by STATE COLLEGE NEWSPAPER STAFF Elizabeth Citv, N. C.

To You Who Are Left Have you wondered how you will feel during commencement season when you are a senior? Take it from a senior during commencement season - to sum it up, you will feel "great.” But you will also feel re lieved and in addition to this you cannot help but feel a tinge of sadness. And this is as it should be, for you will be departing with that which has become a part of you. After spending four years at ECSC, it cannot help but be a part of all of us. The 1966-67 school year has been a most trying and difficult one, reasons for, of which we are aware. Fxom beginning to end adverse publicity has plagued us. The year has ended and the .class of 1967 is joining the ranks of alumni. In these moments of sad ness, in feeling relieved, it is hoped that graduates will not forget the first thing of impor tance - ECSC. No matter what conditions Recognition Deserved In this issue is an article detailing receipt of high recog- mition for our Booster Program, by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. We think the recognition was well deserved. During each of the two sessions of Booster pro gram, the energetic students en rolled made their presence felt on our campus and summer ses sions were enlivened because of them. The Compass staff includes 4 former "Boosters.” They and their colleagues bore much re sponsibility for an issue of our newspaper (July, 1965); that edition primarily reflected their efforts and opinions. A salute is due Mrs. "Ma Booster” Franklin, her staff and her charges for having done so well with a very good idea. Pres ident Ridley deserves highest praise for this Program and its recognition. The Booster Program is but one more example of Dr. Ridley’s herculean efforts to urge on ECSC towards more and better instructional opportunities. Current controversy over our school notwithstanding, ECSC continues "on-the-Move—FOR WARD!” exist, no matter who is at fault, ECSC is still in the spotlight. It has been an institution since 1891 and will be for years to come. Officials of state. Boards of Trustees, and administrators have come and have gone. But "Ole State” hasn’t gone any where. How do you think you will feel in one, two, or three years when you reach commencement season? It is hoped that you feel, among all of your emotions, that you are not detaching yourselves completely from ECSC. This is "our” institution and we must support and honor it. No matter what the situation is, it is a part of us. In the familiar words of the Alma Mater, say, "We hail thee, we praise thee, we love ECSC.” And when you leave, don’t use that inexcusable word, "fare well,” but say "good-bye for now.” Compliment to Students The approximate 500 students who staged the recent protest march are to be complimented for the "orderly march.” This should be a lesson to rioters. The students made de mands and in an orderly manner expressed these demands through large numbers. Nothing got out of hand and they found that their requests were respected. Surely there were some stu dents who were glad of the idea of protesting because they asso ciate a demonstration with riot ing, but these few were not given a chance to get out of hand. The "orderly” march kept out unfavorable publicity. The order in which they con ducted themselves is a mark of distinction. Twenty One Sekender A. Khan Just a few years ago I was twenty one; I was young, strong and happy next to none. So the days passed on one by one I have already reached beyond my thirty one. I am getting wise and wiser every day I am planning a home near the bay. But the youth which has left me and gone. Was the happiest in the life next to none. Pretty soon I will be forty one My hair is graying one by one Wrinkles on my face are appearing fast Youth is gone, gone at last. My hair is falling and I will be bald soon. Day does not stay too long after it reaches the noon. The sun is walking'and putting his feft in the west Consoles the ere mind that he has done his best. Oh youth! Why were you in a haste or hurry? Why were you so shoft, unwise and fury? My lament and grievance will play forever. Oh! If I had my youth when I am wiser. Science Club Has Successful Year The Science Club started the year off by wirming the first place award for floats in the Homecoming Parade and ended it by participating and receiving Honorable Mention at the North Carolina Academy of Science Meeting at Duke University. At Duke University, three re search papers were presented by our students. Eamastine Roun tree, Leo McNeil and Magnolia Brown (Science Club president) presented these papers. Two of the papers were supported by grants from the Academy of Sci ence. The paper presented by Leo McNeil received Honorable Men tion. We are especially proud of this because ECSC was in com petition with "big name” schools of North Carolina. Officers for the coming year are: Sherman Lassiter, president; Josephine Grant, vice president; and Tarleton Small, treasurer. Dr. H. G. Cooke, advisor, and members of the Science Club are to be congratulated. CORRECTIONS!

Two Studies in Final Stage at ECSC The Physical Education De partment at ECSC is in the pro cess of completing two studies begun in September, 1965. The studies are in physical fitness and health knowledge. The study in physical fitness is being made to analyze the phy sical condition of the students exposed to the general program in Physical Education. The normal daily physical de mands of living plus the po tential national and international demands make:- it imperative that the individual maintains a posi tive degree of fitness. Add to these the increase of longevity, early retirement and more leisure time - the picture becomes quite visible. Our present way of living does not naturally contribute to good physical fitness. The ac tivities provided in the physical education progranl must, there fore, serve as a supplement to daily living. Two tests-The Physical Fit ness Test, developed by the American Association of Health Physical Education and Recre ation and The Health Knowledge Test, developed by Dearborn, are being used in the study. The Physical Fitness Test does the following: (a) Serves as an instrument to measure the physical con dition of the college stu dent. (Scores can be com pared with national norms.) (b) Identifies specific areas or organic weakness can be determined. (c) Identifies individuals with structural or functional de ficiencies to be isolated for the adaptive program. (d) Identifies and makes pro visions for individuals who possess superior physical fitness. The second study deals with health knowledge. This inquiry was prompted by the following: (a) To measure the depth and accuracy of health informa tion possessed by college students. (b) To measure the effective ness of health courses as they attempt to meet the needs pinpointed by the Health Knowledge Test, and other conditions. (c) To provide data which may serve as a basis for the up grading of course offerings in the area of health. (d) To improve teacher prepa ration in the area of basic health knowledge. This study involves continous testing from the freshman through the junior years for those individ uals in the teacher preparation areas. Both studies are being con ducted by Mr. John Turpin, Jr. Instructor in the Physical Educa tion Department. He is assisted by Mrs. R. L. Vaughan, Mrs. E. N. Smith (Health Knowledge), Mr. Alvin Kelly and Mr. Roy Knight in the Physical Fitness study. lA Department Presents Plaque to Chairman t. V'-' r; Bishop Patterson At the last meeting of the year for the Industrial Arts Club, Mr. Bishop Patterson, Chairman by Thaxton Etheridge of the Industrial Arts Department, was presented a plaque by the Club f>resident. Mr. Patterson will not be at ECSC in September. He has been granted a leave of absence from the College for two years. He will serve as administrator of the Industrial Training Center in Georgetown, Guyana, South Amer ica. (see page 4) The Industrial Arts Depart ment as well as the College fam ily wish to congratulate Mr. Pat terson on a job well done. Because of the nature of his great work as an instructor and because of the virtue of his fas cinating and unique personality,' sympathy and understanding, he has won the respect and admira tion of the student body. For this reason, THE COMPASS salutes him.
