The conference, which recently upped the college’s rating from third to Second Class Hon or, held its meeting at the Hotel Astoria, New York, from / October 31st. through November 2nd. Young, bearded Yippie leader, Jerry Rubin, whom some of you may have read about in the papers yeaterday, is a special breed. At the same time he’s our re presentative, even though he probably didn’t watch or careabout Johnny Car son’s anniversary show Tuesday night, drink beer with the guys or crack a book. I’ve just read an arti cle that categorizes us college students in six tidy divisions, granting us “fluidity” only once in awhile among the divi sions. If you’re a Jerry Rubin you’re in “Psychology Today's malevolent dreamer category. The article says that on sight ing you the university ad ministrators pray si lently, “restore to us the apathy of the 1950’s”. Malevolent dreamers are also branded as activists, leftists, radicals or an archists. If you feel out of place among beards and blue jeans, you might be a member of the “kept generation.” You fit here if you still write home, work on homecoming What The World Needs Now By Velmar Rountree What the world needs now is. Love, Sweet love, that’s the only thing that there is just a little of. Brotherhood love, a bit of sympathy, A little less impiety, A greater knowledge of the words of the maker above, it takes love, sweet love. Racial love, breaking the barriers of color. To find if nothing else, the ways of each other. It takes love sweet love. Community love, a closer relationship. To create the necessary fellowship; To combine into one the many divisions. To bring about unity to make decisions. It takes love, sweet love. Political love and in terest in the people. Not in fame by exploi tation or extreme ex aggeration. But love of people, cause and justice for all. It takes love, sweet love. What the worlds needs now is. Love sweet love, that’s the only thing that there is just a little of. Miss Riddick, who is editing the paper for the second consecutive year, is a senior business ed ucation major from Hampton, Va. Joining her are : Mr. Leonard Ballou, Faculty Advisor, books before Johnny Car son. When you study instead of watching Johnny Car son, study on the week ends (because you can’t get a date) and refuse to see a psychiatrist, you definitely belong to the monastic generation. We newspaper editors, ad hoc committee mem bers and future peace corps workers have a place, too. We’re bene volent dreamers wrapped up in the work ethic—hard work ends in just reward. On the other hand, if the world’s not worth saving in your way of thinking, you’re a hippie seeking sanity and doing your own thing. Hope fully, you’re a memberof at least one of these five categories or else you’re among the graveyard gen eration. That’s self-ex planatory. If this excites your in terest, another academi cian offers 15 hypotheses to explain what is hap pening to the younger gen eration, For instance, you have a choice bet ween his critical hypo- Professors can be an invaluable asset to you. They can also be flaming flunkies. Your goal is to avoid the latter, whether you have to drop the course, leave school or even the country to do it. If your professor is a decent sort, cultivate a stimulating and lasting relationship with him. Take him out for a beer. Talk with a lisp and tell him you’re hot for him. If you’re a female, make a play for him, even if With Dr. Marion D, Thorpe, President, ex tending official greetings Elizabeth City State College hosted approxi mately 500 teachers of the Northeastern District of the North Carolina Teachers Association in its 31st Annual Meeting. Under this year’s theme: “A Time For Educational Statesmanship,” the first session got underway at 9:30 a.m., at which time minutes of the 1967 dist rict meeting were read by Mrs. Leola Morgan, Sec retary. Committee re ports were the main feature of the first ses sion. Faced with the contro versial issues of merger with the North Caaolina Education Association; Dismissal, Demotion, and Replacement of Negro Educators; New Pro tection Organizations; and other related mat ters, members attended the General Session at 11:30 a.m. Mrs. Mary Lillian Riggs, senior bi ology major, and Rena Hackney, sophomore so cial science major at the college. thesis which blames pa rents for our idealism. Like guinea pigs wri ters, psychologists, edu cators and advertisers are stereo-typing and ex plaining the ‘Pepsi gen eration.” They seem to be covering the situation so thoroughly one fines it hard to say anything ori ginal about student dis sent. What two sides can you offer to attach or de fend last spring’s strike at Columbia? The two sides may be summed up neatly as anarchists ver sus the establishment. Wrong. Do all the stu dents at Iowa State argue from the same points of view? I urge you to read— pick up a “Saturday Even ing Post”, a “Harper’s”, almost any current perio dical. Listen—to the bearded ones in the Com mons, to the girls down the hall. Change can only come when we read and listen to ideas we’ve never heard before, when we learn new arguments to issues. If there’s nothing for you to learn, what category are you in today? How To Survive Professors ECSC Hosts District NCTA you’re particularly ugly and rancid-looking. Most professors won t care anyway. If he doesn’t respond to your advances, tell him you’ll tear off your dress and run down the hall screaming if he doesn’t raise your grade. If he’s married, baby sit for him. If this doesn’t win him over, kidnap the baby. If you do this of ten enough, you’ll finish the semester with a pro fitable day nursery and a four-point. Ann Scott, addressed the joint body. Mrs, Scott is Director of DuShane Funds For Teacher’s Rights. The veteran edu cator and administrator is also a staff representa tive of the National Edu-_ cation Association.

JOHN ADAMS “Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in Amer ica; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, de cided among men. A resolu tion was passed without one dissenting colony, that those United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States. Letter to Mrs. Adams (July 3, 1776) Journalist’s Prayer Lord, let me never tag a moral to a tale, nor tell a story without a meaning. Make me respect my ma terial so much that I dare not slight my work. Help me to deal very honestly with words and with people, for they are both alive. Show me that as in a river, so in a writing, clearness is the best quality, and a little that is pure is worth more than much that is mixed. Teach me to see the local color without being blind to see the inner light. Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weav ing into human stuff on the loom of the real. Keep me from caring more for books than for folks, for art than for life. Steady me to do the full stint of work as well as I can; and when that is done, stop me; pay what wages Thou wilt, and help to say, from a quiet heart, a grateful Amen.
