For the black performer in
America, the road to fame and
fortune has always been difficult.
But many overcame the
obstacles and today their names

section of New York City known
as Harlem. Here, in places like
The Cotton Club, the Savoy and
the Apollo Theatre, stars like
Bessie Smith, Ethel Waters,
Duke Ellington, and Fats Waller,
began their climb to musical
fame and fortune.

which has previously thrilled
audiences across the country
with “From Harlem to
Broadway: The History of the
Black Musical,” now brings you
“Harlem Noctrune: A Salute to
Black Performers from the
Cotton Club to Broadway.”
You’ll thrill to the songs that
made the names of Bessie Smith,
Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Ma
Rainey, and Mahalia Jackson, to
mention only a few, famous in
the pages of American music.
You’ll also enjoy again the music
of such great black composers as
Scott Joplin, Fats Waller, Duke
Ellington, and Eubie Blake.
Featuring a cast of six
singers/actors/dancers,
“Harlem Nocturne” is a fully
staged and costumed evening of
music that will make you proud
of the contributions made by
those black performers and
composerswho first called
Harlem their cultural home.

Security Force Protects Campus
Security is a very important
part of our lives. And, at ECSU, a
24-hour-a-day Security force and
staff attend the needs of students
and protect the latter, as well as
personnel, visitors and facilities.
The Security Officers at ECSU
serve as institution police and
sworn-in deputy sheriffs of
Pasquotank County.
One job is having the authority
to arrest, not only on-campus,
but also off-campus; another
involves patrolling the campus.
Ticketing all parking violators,
regardless of whom they may
be; investigating accidents,
complaints and break-ins and
arresting as indicated;, directing
traffic for special events;
making money deposits for the
University; providing
information for visitors and
checking buildings, heating units
and air conditioning are all part
of Security responsibilities.
Security is also obligated to
serve on court duty and, above
all, to enforce the laws, rules,
and regulations of the
University.
They are authorized to arrest
on and off-campus; patrol the
campus; ticket parking
violators; investigate accidents,
complaints and break-ins, and
arrest as indicated; direct traffic
on special occasions; make
money deposits- for the
University; provide information
for visitors, and check buildings,
heating luiits and airconditioning
systems.
“Ignorance of the Law is not an
adequate excuse for violating the
rules,” said James M. Hoggard,
chief of Security.
These regulations, he asserts,
have been established for the
benefit of all members of the
University family, they will
be rigorously enforced.
The other members of the
Security Staff at ECSU include:
Ms. Myrtle Johnson ’75,
secretary and traffic office
clerk; Captain Franklin D.R.
Felton-in charge of Officers;
First Lieutenant George W.
Johnson, Jr.-Shift Commander;
Second Lieutenant Ernest E.
Hoskins-in charge of all
equipment; Sergeant Erscell A.
James; Corporal Carolyn Allen;
Corporal Deborah Cowell ’81,
Corporal Wilbert Shannon,
Patrolman Wayne Barclift, and
Patrolman William Gibbs ’79.
Also from time to time, the
staff is assisted by the interns
from the Criminal Justice
Program at ECSU.
The Security Staff at ECSU is a
stern, alert group, committed to
the well being of everyone on
campus and determined to give a
fair deal to everyone it deals
with.
Being a security guard is a
very important position, and it
takes a person of superior
qualities to be able to handle
such a responsibility.
