S.G.A.
The Student Govern
ment Association hopes
for a new “era” in the
idea of student “self-gov
ernment.” In welcoming
you back to Elizabeth Ci
ty State University, we
would like to make known
the important changes oc
curring for the coming
school year,
ECSU is now, as of July
1, 1972, a functioning part
of the University of North
Carolina system of High
er Education. This new
system is headed by a
Board of Governors,
comprised of a 32 mem
ber board of chancellors
from each institution. The
good points of this new
structure is that it will
aid Elizabeth City State
University in its produc
tion of well-learned stu
dents.
Through the efforts of
Women’s Government
Association the S. G. A.
will strive to meet most
of the demand of the stu
dents. With the establish
ment of dorm councils,
student committee as
signments, active class
officers, and involved
students, the 1972-73 Stu
dent Government Asso
ciation will be what you
want it to be I

Who's Who
Each year Junior and
Senior students elected to
Who’s Who are first nom
inated by fellow students,
faculty and staff members
at the University. Nom
ination blanks are made
available through the Stu
dent Council. The Stud
ent Council usually makes
these blanks available in
dormitories as well as in
the Student Council Of
fice early in the school
year.
When the nomination
blanks have been collec
ted, they are submitted to
the Who’s Who Commit
tee made up of students
and faculty. This com
mittee verifies the infor
mation and makes an
evaluation according to a
point system on activit
ies, academic standing
(2.5 and over), citizen
ship, service to the col
lege, and future promise.
The list of students are
then sent to the Office of
Who’s Who in American
Universities and Colleges
who at a later date not
ifies the University about
the students selected.
Elizabeth City State
University students
should start early in th
eir consideration for
nominations of students
to Who’s Who for 1972-
73 and be ready to make
nominations soon.
Spotlight Preview
Members of the Uni
versity Players plan a
program for the academic
year which reverses the
old rhythm which sug
gests “something old,
something new.” Innova
tion is the watchword for
this season of Bernard
L. Peterson, Jr., Direc
tor.
Something new will be
presented on October 10
and 12 in the Little Thea
ter. JOURNEY TO THE
DAY, a stirring, some
times humorous state
ment on the lives of six
mental patients will be the
first student production
of the Players. Tommy
Brown will direct this
three-act play.
Also new this year will
be a variety show, “The
University Players’ Tal
ent Showcase.” Campus
talent will be spotlighted
in an unusual program on
November 6 and 7. Mr.
Peterson assures us that
a few pleasantly surpris
ing activities will be in
cluded.
The old is a Shakes
pearean play, TITUS AN-
DRONICUS, to be pre
sented during the Fine
Arts Festival as the
Players’ contribution to
this annual University e-
vent. The play is the bl
oodiest one written by
Shakespeare and features
Aaron, his most villain
ous black character.
The University com
munity is invited to join
the group or to assist
the Players in their pro
ductions.

MUSIC.
Marching Vikings
The Marching Vikings
have started the season
in fine fashion. Stepping
high to the strains of
Chicago, they brought a
Greensboro crowd to
their feet with precision
drills and marching ex
cellence, leaving no doubt
as to the supremacy of
North Carolina Bands.
This, their premier per
formance was merely a
stepping stone to a much
higher objective.
The E.C.S.U. Marching
100 Band is under the dir
ection of Floyd L. Rob
inson and a former stu
dent and President o£ the
Marching 100,
assistant Director, G. l.
Richardson. The Drum
Major for 1972-1973 is
Ernest Brooks and Pre
sident 1972-1973 is Eddie
Henderson.
The Vikings anticipate
playing at all home games
and making four of the
away games. The March
ing 100 hop>es that every
one will support them in
all of their endeavors.
Ending what is hoped
to be a successful year,
will be a performance
on National Television in
New York City, for the
New York Jets of the
N. F. L. Everyone’s sup
port of the Marching 100
will be appreciated.
Power to the March
