JONES MAGIC

Add one half of outer
beauty and one half of inner
beauty, and what do you get?
You don't need a
calculator-just the privilege
of being associated with Carol
C. Jones.
“I think she‘s a beautiful
lady with very good taste,”
one student commented.
Another added that, “she
thoroughly knows the field of
English.”
It’s no wonder that Carol C.
Jones is one of the most ad
mired professors at ECSU.
Her graceful personality,
vivid sense of humor, and a
thorough knowledge of her
work enables her to capture
the student’s interest. “I try

Miller High Life
Winner
Johnny Woodbury, a fresh
man at Elizabeth City State
University, has won the
Miller High Life One-on*One
Basketball Tournament
Championship for the
University in competition
held in Elizabeth City on
March 21.
The championship was the
culmination of three weeks of
competition sponsored by the
Miller Brewing Company and
Belcross Beverage, held
during half-time of college
games.
The One-on-One com
petition was open to any
graduate or undergraduate
student at participating
colleges who had not lettered
in . collegiate basketball.
to relate literature to
something the students know
and understand,” she said.
A native of Newport News,
Va., Mrs. Jones received her
Bachelors and Masters of
Arts degrees at Howard
University. She is presently
in the process of completing
her doctoral degree at George
Washington University.
Being one of the most
popular professors does not
swell Mrs. Jones’ head. In
stead, she feels the students
are the most positive aspect
at ECSU. “They are
generally friendly, and most
try and seek help.”
While the “Professer” is
very serious about her work,
she finds time to read, study,
and go to plays. She also
expresses a great pleasure in
being with her family. “They
are very special to me. I try
to involve myself in what
they’re interested in too.”
When asked her idea of
what a good student is, she
replied, “He does not have to
be a genius.” She added that
“he must use all possible
resources and be willing to do
his best.”
Obviously, the interview
could not have been complete
without getting into the secret
of her “preservation of
youth.”
“It’s positive thinking. I
just try to maintain a youthful
outlook on life.”
Being a successful career
and family person can be
challenging for anyone. And
Mrs. Jones is not an ex
ception. But she’s very
content with the support of
her husband and children.
She also praises the “close
relationships with the
members of the Modern
Languages Department.”
Near the end of the in
terview, I asked Mrs. Jones
that if she could change
anything in the world, what
would it be? That inner
beauty overflowed when she
replied, “I would like to wipe
out bigotry, prejudice, and
intolerance, because all
problems seem to stem from
these.”
So, the next time you hear
the old cliche, “beauty is only
skin deep,” chat with Mrs.
Jones. You may even learn
something about yourself.
UPDATE: CLUBS
Children
and
Disability
A generation ago, many
disabled children never
reached adulthood. Today,
thanks to advances in
medical science, most
children with limiting han
dicaps survive. What’s more
they are able, with improved
social understanding, to lead
productive, contributing
lives. According to the Office
of Special Education, 9.5
percent of all children now
receive some sort of special
education. And the Institute
of Comprehensive Planning
says that over 6 percent of all
children have disabilities.

What’s new for 1982? Every
academic school year,
various clubs and
organizations seek better and
more prosperous ways to
improve their organizations.
Organizations on Elizabeth
City State University campus
are designed to benefit and
provide for all interested
individuals. After talking to
the presidents of various
organizations on campus, it is
clear that they have great
plans to build the reputation
of the clubs in which they hold
office.
The President of NAACP,
Mr. Tracy Hester, wishes to
expand the growth of the first
NAACP organization
established on this campus.
He realizes the importance of
the NAACP, and wants to
work towards recruiting
other individuals to help
make it a more successful
and working organization on
this campus. Working
throughout the community,
and presenting a program
based on “Black History” are
only a few of his ideas. Alvin
Martin, President of Beta
Beta Beta, plans to have a T-
shirt Incentive Drive.
Suggestion boxes will be
located in centralized areas,
and will be open for
suggestions of what should be
placed on these shirts. An
thony Swain, President of Phi
Beta Lambda, plans also to
work within the community
setting, as well as to par
ticipate in certain projects on
campus. Judy Perry, Acting
President of The Health
Careers Club, plans to have
seminars on such subjects as
how to check one’s blood
pressure and the occurrence
of cancer. The Health
Careers Club also plans to
take trips to other areas. The
Health Careers Club is open
to each individual regardless
of his major.
CHOIR TOUR
By STEVE BLY
Staff Writer
The Elizabeth City State
University Choir, under the
direction of Mr. Billy Hines,
will be conducting its annual
spring tour for the 1982 spring
season.
The tour, which will last
from March 19 to March 28,
will include stops in South
Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia,
and Mobile, Alabama, just to
name a few. Performances
will be held mainly in chur
ches and schools, and the
songs will vary from classical
to popular as well as
spirituals.
The purposes of these
annual tours are two: First,
the choir is considered an
ambassador representing the
university in a positive way.
Second,the touring choir is
also used as a means of
recruitment, for it captures
the interests of many a high
school student, who may not
have heard of E.C.S.U.
previously, but who after
Contestants engaged in a five-
minute game with the player
who scored ten points first
winning the match, if he, or
she led by two points.
Each winner in the early
competition received a
$200.00 scholarship and a
trophy. When winners were
ineligible to receive the
scholarship because of
financial assistance
restrictions, the money was
donated to their schools’
athletic departments.
Second, third, and fourth
place winners in the early
competition received
trophies. The top fifty
finishers in the One-on-One
games received a pair of
Miller High Life athletic
socks and a One-on-One
jersey.
Miller is an operating
company of Philip Morris
Incorporated. Principal beer
brands include Miller High
Life, Lite, and Lowenbrau.
Up The Ladder To Success
By BERNADETTE CARVER
Staff Writer
As the saying goes, “Some
people have all the luck.”
Dr. Floyd Robinson, former
Band Director and former
Extended Day/Summer
School Director has stepped
upward once more in order to
assume the responsibilities of
Assistant Vice-Chancellor for
Academic Affairs.
Dr. Robinson was the
leader of our Marching
Viking Band for 10 (ten)
years and will cherish it for
many more to come.
Robinson, who is better
known as “chief,” feels that
any person in education has
to enjoy working with large
groups of students at any
institution.
After his ten years of
service to the Viking band,
Dr. Robinson then became
the Director of the Extended
Day/Summer School
Program. Dr. Robinson
formulated policies,
established plans, and ad
vised many students who
participated in the program.
Robinson's job title now is
Vice Chancellor for
Academic Affairs. He not
only works with the students
of Elizabeth City State
University, but the faculty
too. Even though Dr.
Robinson works closer with
the faculty and staff, the
overall outcome of his
previous job is the effect of
the institution itself.
Dr. Robinson will continue
to serve students, not only
those in the Viking Band, but
any student of the Viking
Family.
attending and enjoying a
performance may wish to
inquire more about the
university.
The experience gained by
the members in the choir is
also an important part of the
tour, explains director Hines.
For a lot of the students it
may be their first time
visiting these large cities.
They have never traveled
with each other on a bus for
up to two weeks, and the way
they adapt to the various
situations presented by the
tour will make the tour a most
memorable one for them all.
Mr. Hines, a graduate of
Stillman College and Choir
Director at ECSU since 1975,
hopes that the discipline,
dedication, and goodwill he
instills into all of his choir
members, will remain with
them throughout their lives.
Much continued success to
our ECSU choir. We are
proud of them!
