Jenkins Visits Army ROTC
ECSU Chancellor Dr. Jimmy
R. Jenkins visited the Army
ROTC Advance Camp along with
over 100 other college presidents,
administrators, deans and
professors for four days this past
July.
Welcoming remarks were
made by the Commander of First
ROTC Region, Brigadier
General Curtis F. Hoglan. After
Gen. Hoglan’s remarks, the
representatives were flown by
helicopter to various training
sites where they observed
different types of training ROTC
cadets of their institutions were
receiving.
During the first two days, the
representatives visited the
Individual Tactical Training
Course, the Leadership Reaction
Course, and the Recondo
Training Course where Dr.
Jenkins received his Recondo
Badge.
The Combined Arms Training
Exercise was also observed.
Then the representatives were
given opportunities to
participate in the training. Many
of them had never fired a weapon
before, much less a M60 tank
machine-gun, but they did not let
that stop them. They fired the
M60 tank down range; drove
armored personnel carriers: and
climbed out onto a rope to drop 40
feet into the waters of the Little
River. The representatives left
Fort Bragg with a
moreknowledgeable insight on
the kinds of training their
students were receiving.
A Turning Decision
by Michael Emmert Copy Editor
Election ’84 is little more
than a week away. Have you
considered your candidates?
Much advertising, air time, and
newsprint is spent at this time of
year, urging the average citizen
to vote. Since voting is a precious
right which must be excercised
and many Americans have
purchased this right with their
lives, voting is not to be taken
lightly. Don’t just vote! Rather,
study the issues, the candidates,
and even yourself and then cast
YOUR VOICE in the government
of the United States.
The following list of facts is
intended to prompt further
research into the qualifications
of your future leaders;
For the Office of President-
Term, 4 years-Salary, $250,000
1. Ronald Reagan,
Republican, age 73; Mr. Reagan
has decreased inflation,
strengthened our National
Defense, and some say is
responsible for the deaths of
300 plus United States Marines.
2. Walter Mondale, Democrat,
age 56; Mr. Mondale proposes an
arms reduction bill,
increased citizen aid fund^, and
large tax increases.
For the Office of Governor of
North Carolina- 4 years- $93,516
1. Jim Martin, Republican,
age 48; Mr. Martin seeks to cut
taxes and improve public
education by promoting better
teacher salaries.
2. Rufus Edmisten,
Democrat, age 43; Mr. Edmisten
has a plan for safe disposal
of hazardous wastes and wants to
leave taxes at their
current rate until he can devise a
better plan.
For the Office of United States
Senator- 6 years- $72,200
1. Jesse Helms, Republican,
age ; Mr. Helms supports
voluntary prayer in the
public schools and has been
accused of being a racist.
2. Jim Hunt, Democrat, age
47; Mr. Hunt supports passage of
the ERA and government
funded abortions.
These candidates by no means
constitute the entire ballot for
their respective offices, but are
considered to be the strongest
candidates. If you have studied
the candidates thoroughly and
find that any or all fall short of
your expectations, don’t cheat
yourself because of their
deficiencies, rather go to the
polls and vote for yourself.
The 1984 election could make
or break the condition of thjhe
United States. Serious issues are
being discussed; don’t take them
lightly...WEIGH THE ISSUES
and then vote!
For People On The IVIove
FOR PEOPLE ON THE
MOVE...
...have you noticed our nice
new parking spaces in the
bookstore parking lot? Nine of
them. No regulations on these.

your eyes open...

Alumni
Morgan Joins ECSU Family
by Aigie //* Mabry
Editor-irt-Chief
An Elizabeth City native.
A graduate of Northeastern
High School.
Aa alumnus of Hampton
Institute.
Articulate. Songster. Serious-
minded but also humorous.
Outgoing yet modest.Very
mannerable. Well-groomed and
fashionable. Tidy yet “Nasty.”
Concerned. Active. Young.
These words describe a person
who has become an addition to
the ECSU family. Erskine E.
Morgan,II is no stranger to us.
His ties with ECSU go back to his
early childhood in Elizabeth
City.
“I remember this school when
it once used barricks for
dormitory facilities,” Morgan
reminisced.
Mounted on his office door in
the library is a plate which
reads:
Erskine E. Morgan,II
System Account Analyst
According to Morgan, he
coordinates University
policy/procedure and channels
job descriptions.Though his work
mainly encompasses the Office
of Fiscal Affairs, Morgan’s reach
extends into some boundaries of
Student Services.
Morgan, who majored in
Marketing while at HI, enjoys his
position and work.
“I like the concept of selling to
people,” Morgan said. He also
added that his family owns
several homes and leases them.
“It is good to know management
skills.”
Although he does not do any
direct selling for the University,
this ambitious worker wishes to
move up the University ladder.
“ECSU and HI when compared
have distinct opposite
characteristics,” Morgan said.
“ECSU is comprised of mainly
rural area students; whereas,
Hamptonis populated with those
students from the metropolitan
areas,” added Morgan.
“Here at ECSU, teachers want
more than just a paycheck,"
interjected Morgan.
Complimenting the teachers
here for their concern, Morgan is
also impressed with the
administration and student
relationship as compared to
Hampton’s.
“At HI students are just
numbers,” Morgan said, “but
here it is totally different! ”
Having recently been a student
himself, Morgan would like to
pass on some valuable
information to the Freshman
class.
“I advise all freshmen to
maintain good academic
standing, but also be diverse,”
Morgan said. “Not only be
bookworms or know it alls, but
learn life as it is,” urged Morgan.
“Establish a good relationship
with your environment,” added
Morgan.
When asked if his office
location in the library is
permament, Morgan only
sighed, “It’s temporary!”
Fellows Program Opens Doors
Vernestine Kent is among 13
Alpha Kappa Alpha Leadership
Fellows who should find opening
corporate doors somewhat
easier.
Kent, a jxmior at ECSU, is
majoring in Mathematics. Next
year she will be seeking an
internship in the field of
mathematics.
She participated in a nine-day
comprehensive series of
workshops and experiences
designed to foster the
development of leadership and
success skills. A special feature
of this year’s program entailed
the pairing of fellows with
alumnae mentors.
Formalizing the mentor
relationship is expected to
increase the program’s benefits
for participants. After fellows
have interned for companies,
many of them land jobs with the^
same or comparable companies
in their fields.
Alpha Kappa Alpha
Leadership Fellows can be found
in large and small companies in
the private sector as well as on
congressional staffs.
The Leadership Fellows
Program began in 1979. Since
that time nearly 150 un
dergraduate members have
participated. Two fellows,
Deborah Palmer and Katessa
Charles, used their leadership
training as a springboard to
election as national board
members. Several former
fellows are studying for the bar
examinations and others are
working within their chosen
fields or pursuing advanced
degrees.
Local Returns Home
To ECSU by Da Via Purneii
Associate Editor
Whether near or far, all roads
seem to lead to home. After
teaching at several national
universities, an Elizabeth City
native. Dr. Samuel Moore, has
returned home, and it looks as if
he’s here to stay.
Moore, the newest member of
the Modern Languages
Department, sees ECSU as
developing rapidly.“I want to be
part of the University’s
progression towards growth.”
This is Moore’s hometown and
he feels close to the people here.
“I grew up here and I feel as
though I know everyone.”
Moore received his B.A. from
Shaw University in 1970; M.A.T.
from Northwestern University in
1971; and Ed.D from Oklahoma
State University in 1980. He has
held positions of responsibility
which have assisted in the total
development of individuals or
institutions. Moore has
demonstrated competencies in
the following areas: Curriculm
Development, Reading
Education, English Education,
Early Childhood Education, and
Language Arts.
His work experience consists
of positions at Kittrell College,
Kittrell, N.C.; Norfolk State
College, Norfolk, Va.; and
Fayetteville State University,
Fayetteville, N.C.
At ECSU, Moore teaches: GE
101 Basic Communication Skills,
GE 102 Composition and
Literature I and GE 103
Composition and Literature II.
Moore said,“The students here
at ECSU have shown a very
positive attitude towards
learning.”
He also decided to return home
because he wanted to spend his
future years working and living
closely with his friends and
family.
