STUDENTS LOOK OVER ASSIGNMENTS BEFORE
GOING TO CLASS.
Summer School
Draws To An End
With the close of the
three week session of
summer school close at
hand on August 15th,
members of our univer
sity's family look back
on the activities of this
summer and look to the
few weeks which lie ahead
before the reopening near
the end of the month.
During the course of
the summer there were
many activities staged
for the amusement and
enjoyment of the students,
faculty, and adm inistra-
tion. Under the direction
of Coach Vaughan, head
of the Physical Education
department, an elaborate
program of activities was
incorporated to render
physical enjoyment for
all. Intram jral basket
ball, volleyball, scuffle-
board, badminton, and
softball were only a few
of the games which drew
many students to Will
iam’s Hall this summer.
Religious activities
were given under the
leadership of our univer
sity minister Reverend
Boone. Services render
ed and programs given
were ‘ ‘Morning Devotion-
als”, and a “Special Ves
per" in which many per
sons in the com in unity
participated. The last
morning devotional held
featured Mr. Earnest Bell
and Miss Margaret Gre
gory discussing the topic
What God Means To
Me”.
Academic Programs,
which were given this
summer, were those con
cerned with the tutorial
program here on our
campus. This was direct
ed by Mrs. Morgan and
tutoring was done by stu
dents in the areas of their
majors.
For many students with
the ending of the six weeks
session of summer school
on July 25, began a time
for fun. Yes, many stu
dents and faculty mem
bers went on vacations.
Some went to find jobs
during the few weeks
before school reopens of
ficially on August 27.

mary of the film and gave
their opinion concerning
birth control.
Dr. Jones said, poor
people have a lot of chil
dren mainly because they
were lazy. Dr. Jones was
challenged by many stu
dents. One student dis
agreed with him and ask
ed the question, “Whata-
bout the people who live
in isolated areas and who
can’t get to the proper
medical facilities, and
those who don’t have the
finance, and those who are
illiterate?” He responded
to these questions by
CASUAL SCENE IN FRONT OF BUTLER HALL
DURING SUMMER SCHOOL.
Birth control is a very
controversial subject.
There have been many ar
guments for and against
the use of the pill. The
question always seems to
be whether it is medically
or morally safe. Because
the subject of birth con
trol is continually being
discussed, Mr. Larry
Martin, Advisor of the
Forum Committee invited
a panel to give their re
action to a film entitled
“Birth Control, How?”
The panel was made up
of people from all walks
of life so as to give the
audience a variety of
views on the subject. The
panel members were all
vibrant speakers. Father
Anderson, a Catholic
Priest who is an instruct
or of theology at St. Mi
chael’s College in Ver
mont was one of the
speakers. He is serving
in the absence of Father
Robinson at St. Cather
ine’s Church for this
summer. We were gladto
have Miss Yvonne Jen
kins, a visiting summer
school student here at
ECSU who is a senior at
Michigan State University
majoring in chemical ge
netics. On the panel along
with Father Anderson and
Miss Jenkins were Dr.
James Jones, a gynecol
ogist who practices here
saying, first of all he
could only speak for the
Negroes and they, he said,
managed to buy tele
visions and other such
things. One person in the
