DEAN HOLLEY ADDRESSES FALL CONVOCATION With shrinking Moore Hall Auditorium filled be yond capacity. Dr. Floyd B, Holley, Dean, used the occassion to address the fall opening convocation at Elizabeth City State University. He stressed the point of togetherness among the university family. He no ticed the Importance of maintaining a close fam ily relation. Dr. Holley urged the students to put forth more effort to earn better grades. He says that he is aware of individual dif ference. It may take one student an hour to get an assignment but another it may take three hours, to comprehend the same assignment. His advice to students was to take the time that is necessary to get the assignment. If Dr. Holley’s advice is taken seriously he says students will not have to ask to get grades changed and the the eligibility standards of the univer sity will remain the same. He also asked "what good is it to have eligibility standards if you’re not going to abide by them?” He also urged the fa- cultymembers to do their part in promoting a qual ity education. He asked the faculty to become more involved in the life of the student as to under stand the student better. There should be a mu tual respect among facul ty and students, he added. He went further to advise that students should not limit their studies to a point of just getting by but that students should set their goal to reach only the tree tops. He urged the students and faculty to invest in people, so as to create a chain reaction of pass ing knowledge. Long af ter you’re gone he stat ed, you’ll still live in the hearts of many peo ple for services render ed. After Dr. Holley deliv ered his inspiring ad dress, Dr. Thorpe intro duced the faculty and staff members. Presiding was Thomas E. Carter, as sistant to the President and other participants were: Dr. R. Irving Boone, University minis ter, Mrs. R. Reaves, In structor of Business Ed ucation, and Miss Rachel E, Weber, instructor of Music. THE SCRAMBLE SYSTEM The dining hall man agement presents a new system of speeding stu dents through the serving line. This system is termed the scramble system. The system is as the name implies, scrambled. The dining hall’s serving section is equipped with three ser ving lines, a beverage center, a salad bar and dessert counter. Your dining hall is designed this way so that an indi vidual may move freely, in no particular order, from one section to an other without having to form long lines. The dining hall man agement has studied the scramble system in other schools over the United States and has seen it work. They are suggest ing, for a more speedy service, that each student give them his and her fullest cooperation in this matter. As a point of interest they have com e up with an idea to have the students food still hot when they get to the table. They are suggesting that upon en tering the service area that each student pick up his cold items first and the hot food last. This way one is able to take his hot food right to the ta ble and begin eating. The dining hall service welcomes all new and re turning students. They solicit your cooperation.
