moVEMBER 1. 1969 THE COMPASS PAGE 9 Helping the Deprived FIGHTING A WINNING BATTLE It is the contention of some that college stu dents are protestors, draft-card burners and just plain anti-every- thing, without any regards of others. The news me dia today expands beyond reason any activity that involves more than three students fighting for a cause. There are many college and university students a- cross the country who contribute a great deal to the growth of this country on local and national le vels. Here on Elizabeth City State University’s cam pus some students are ex erting some efforts to help eradicate some of the problems existing on the local and national le vel. The Women's Gov ernment Association, one of the most active organ izations on campus, is putting forth an effort to help underprivileged peo ple in Elizabeth City. The Civic Committee, of the WGA has undertak en a project to give aid to a family. This com mittee wants to do some thing to aid in the de velopment of the deprived people in Elizabeth City as well as in the neigh boring communities out side of Elizabeth City. The family that the commitee has adopted has twelve members.The purpose of this commit tee is not merely to give the family money that we have raised, but it also plans to take the chil dren to activities that may increase their knowledge. We hope to give these children some of the ne cessities they lack to de velop into healthy adults. The very diligent work ers on this committee are as follows: Finner Sutton, sophomore, math major; Lillian Fisher, junior, English major; Towana Willis, sophomore, art education major; Janie Peele, junior, art educa tion major; Essie Whit akers, senior. Elemen tary Education major, and Velmar G. Rountree,sen ior, Sociology major. These girls are working very hard to help make some children happy by giving a few hours of their free time. This is the type of thing we like to see published about college and univer sity students. These young ladies are fight ing a winning battle but they need more ammuni tion. What are you doing to help eradicate the prob lem of poverty in your area? You can do alot, just try and see. New Policies on Academic Retension and Suspension Academic Eligibility Standards 1.

ROY FARMER TAKES A LOOK AT HIS WORK. Recent Art by Roy Farmer The Elizabeth City State University G. R. Little Library, in its foy er, first floor, arranged a moderately large ejAi- bition of “Recent Art by Roy Farmer,” which show extended from Oc tober 6th through October 24th. In his revealing art presentation at ECSU, Farmer accords the visi tor a great deal of in sight regarding his ide ology, his preferences, and his advocacies. In deed, essentially consid ered, the observer leams quite a bit about Farmer, himself, in viewing the artistic products of the latter. Farmer’s show com prises 20 works, almost all in the realm of paint ing, with one instance of graphic treatment ofsub- ject-matter. In all of these works, surrealism figures importantly,per vading the basic expres sion of his artistic endea vor. Farmer, himself, explains that, originally, he became immensely in terested in portraying the “workings of the subcon scious mind,” several years ago. Surrealistic expression, for Farmer, involves utilization of all possible artistic media, including painting in oils, watercolor and tempera; sculpture, and the graphic arts. A conversation with him, would disclose, fur thermore, that he is also interested in surrealistic experimentations in poe try. Currently a sophomore art major, he is a high ly versatile person, who prefers expressing him self in all possible means and facets of art. Far mer feels that express ing himself solely in one medium would be inade quate; that there are num erous avenues for reveal ing the inner thinking of the artist and the man— and, hence, he communi cates in the realm of painting, sculpture, cera- mic-making, graphic arts, and the like. He be came Interested in art some six years ago, when he was about thirteen, shortly after a period of serious illness — and when the depiction of the reality of the world ab sorbed him, immensely. He was born in Bethel, North Carolina, almost nineteen years ago, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Er nest Farmer. Eventually, the Farmer family moved to Hobgood, some dis tance away. A graduate of Conetoe High School, Edgecome, he entered E- lizabeth City State Uni versity with the opening of the 1968-69 year, as an Art Education major, intent on a career in the arts in pubUc education. Farmer is immensely in terested in the develop mental aspects of the arts in the public schools of North Carolina, and is de sirous of becoming in strumental in its growth and expansion.
