PAGE TWO THE NEWS ARGUS JUNE 1, 1965 SALUTE TO A FELLOW STUDENT Many of us are aware of the wonderful work that Arthur Gray has rendered on campus this past school year. For the bene fit of those who may not know him, he is the newly elected presi dent of the Student Council. A 1959 graduate of Carver High School in Winston-Salem, he has been a student at Winston-Salem State College for the past three years. During this time he has done exceptional academic work. Gray’s greatest ambition was to become president of our stu dent body. He has achieved this goal in a most unusual manner, by a write-in-vote. When asked what his greatest shortcoming is, he rephed, “My inability to use diplomacy and moderation for the attainment of certain goals which I believe to be fundamental to the cause of righteousness and the welfare of students.” He has, however, accomphshed much in these years on cam pus. He has served as president of the junior class, president of the Young Democrats Club, president of the Urban Society, as representative to “Challenge ,,’65” at Wake Forest College, repre sentative to the Democratic Party banquet and spokesman on va rious other occasions. He also has served as a volunteer tutor at the college. He has tutored at the North Carohna Advancernent School. He was a member of the Student Council and elected to “Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities.” In the Student Council he initiated several activities such as more dances for students, buses to various sporting events and the memorable march downtown. He was chairman of the Preyer for Governor campaign among campus students last May. He also was instrumental in the election of local city officials. Hats off to Mr. Arthur F. Gray, our new Student Council president! —Rubye Watson Omegas Review Past School Year The 1964-1965 school year was At their last meeting, the opened with a Smoker in an at- Omegas elected officers for the tempt to make the male students year 1965-66.

Though they do not feel strongly enough to demonstrate (in the face of danger) or to die for the Negro, in their every day activi ties they try to influence their fellowmen to see the Negro as an individual, having similar likes and dislikes, feelings and aspirations to those of other men.” What did she think of Chal lenge ’65? “The affair was apparently a success becavise of much hard work and because of dear coop eration.” What did this program mean to Miss Patterson? “First of all, it was informa tive and inspiring. It made me want to attend more activities of this sort. “Most important, however, it left me with the Impression that to be an individual worthy of respect and praise one must do something beneficial to society.
