Students Honored
Elizabeth City State
University held its annual
Honors Night Program on
Wednesday, April 20, 1977 at
8:00 P.M. in Moore Hall
Auditorium. This year’s guest
speaker was Dr. George W.
Reid, Chairman, History and
Social Science Department at
North Carolina Central
University in Durham, North
Carolina.
The speaker’s address was
centered around a self-made
formula for success,
“Nobility Of Character”. In
his address, the speaker
states that “Nobility of
Character” separates the
scrupulous from the un
scrupulous, the cursory from
the substantial, the achiever
from the one who fails and the
pure in heart from the unjust
in these times when the world
is filled with so much change
and confusion. Dr. Reid
defined nobility of character
as: (1) the will to persevere,
(2) courage, (3) humility or
the possession of quiet con
fidence, (4) an insatiable
thirst for knowledge, (5)
having a positive purpose
about one’s life and (6)
sharing your abilities with
those who are unable to
perform at your level in your
area of prowess.
Following the address, the
hororees of the occasion were
presented with their awards
of achievement. The awards
were presented by Dr. Louis
V. Nadeau, Dr. Herman G.
Cooke, and Dr. Melvin L.
fMurphy. 134 special awards
were presented to students
for various academic
achievements. Students
receiving the highest number
of awards were: Mr. James
Finch, 6; Ms. Pamajot Gill, 3;
and Ms. Patricia Rankins, 3.
The Honors Night Program
was held in memory of E.
Earle Manley, Assistant

nished by the University
Choir under the directorship
of Mr. Billy C. Hines.

Dhillon: India And The U. N.
“Through the pages that
follow, the author hopes to
make a modest contribution
to a better understanding
between India and the
Western World, where her
views are so often misun
derstood,” states Dr.
Naginder S. Dhillon,
professor in International
Relations at Elizabeth City
State University, in the in
troduction to his new book,
India and the United Nations:
In Pursuit of Peace. Under
the former Prime Minister,
Indira Ghandi, India
developed a poor image. The
world society criticized her
for the deprivation of civil
liberties.
Dr. Dhillon’s book does not
talk about Miss Ghandi but it
does give a fresh and im
proved view of India. It is a
comprehensive study of
India’s policy stand on the
issues of imperalism and
colonialism^ in the United
Nations. The book dispells the
image of India as an
inhuman, insentive nation
having no value for human
life. India through its fight for
the independence of all
nations shows that it is one of
the last nations who truely
has concern for fellow
nations.
International politics is an
interesting and rapidly
opening field. Dr. Dhillon’s
book discusses many in
ternational problems. The
first chapter traces the
development of the principle
of national self-
determination. Following!
chapters tell of India’s
struggle within the United
Nation against colonialism.
The last chapters talk of the
need for interdependance
among nations.
