GEORGE C. NEWELL.
NEW DEAN OF MEN.
EXPRESSES IDEAS
The new Dean of Men of the
Winston-Salem State College is
iMr. George C. Newell, native of
Bladen County in North Caro
lina. The new dean is also Asso
ciate Professor of Science and a
Physical Science teacher at this
institute.
“I enjoy my work which is
quite challenging; the young men
and faculty were most cordial in
helping me become adjusted to
my new work,” reveals Mr.
Newell. “We are always open for
suggestions to improve the gen
eral welfare of our students.”
To further commend the young
men of this campus, he said that
he has been well pleased with the
improvement the young men
have made in improving the phy
sical environment of Bickett hall.
Having been asked if there
were any additional improve
ments which should be made
within the school, he, not pre
pared to give too many negative
views at this early time, directed
his response at the students.
“The pendulum is swinging a
little too far on the social side
and not on the academic,” he
said. “Students need to apply
themselves more studiously and
have ever in mind to strive to
bring their grades up where
they’ll be a credit to themselves
and their college.”
He feels that the students of
WSSC should realize that they
reflect this college as well as
their race.
Prior to coming to WSSC,
Dean Newell was Dean of Men
at Ligon High School in Raleigh,
N. C.
A graduate of the Fayetteville
State Normal, Fayetteville, N. C.,
the one-time teacher of mathe
matics and science received his
B.S. from Johnson C. Smith Uni
versity, Charlotte, N. C.; and his
M.S. from the Indiana Univer
sity, Bloomington, Ind. He was
valedictorian of his high school
and college classes.
Ohio State University, Colum
bus, Ohio; North Carolina State
University, at Raleigh, N. C.;
North Carolina College, Durham,
N. C. are only a few schools
where he further studied.
For the most part his teaching
experiences have been within
the boundaries of North Caro
lina.
His participation in organiza
tions ranges from Charitable Or
ganizations, Sunday School teach
er and Y.M.C.A. to Educational
Associations, the NAACP and va
rious offices within the Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
Mr. Newell is married to Vir
ginia Kimbrough, a native of
this city, and presently a math
ematics teacher at this school;
he has two daughters, Virginia
De Anne and Glenda Felicia.

Memorial Coliseum
8:00 P. M.
(Preliminary game at 6:00 p.m.)
During the week of November
4-6, 1965 the North Carolina Li
brary Association held its bien
nial conference at the Robert E.
Lee Hotel, Winston-Salem, N. C.
As members of the Library Sci
ence classes, under the auspices
of Mrs. Nell B. Wright, we were
given the opportunity to attend
the conference.
On the first day of the conven
tion, registration was held and
exhibits were shown from va
rious companies of library ma
terials and book publishers.
From the various exhibits dis
played by publishers and com
panies, we were able to observe
the new books and materials
that were recommended for se
lection in school libraries. Each
exhibit had pamphlets and cata
logs concerning its displays
which would be helpful in the
selection of books and materials
for purchase. There were also
people available to answer ques
tions.
There were various meetings
which were designed for the im
provement of libraries in North
Carolina. At the luncheons, sev
eral prominent personalities in
library service spoke.
Discussed topics were: “Li
brary Development in Smaller
Colleges,” “Automation” and
“The Writer as Organization
Man,” The latest proposed de
velopments for libraries were
discussed by Federal and state
representatives.
The most exciting moment at
the convention was hearing Mrs.
Frances Gray Patton, author of
Good Morning Miss Dove. There
were many lasting impressions
made on the students attending
the conference.
Catherine Thompson said, “At
tending the NCLA provided a
very wholesome, educational and
interesting experience for me.”
Annie Bailey stated, “From
this experience I became aware
of the closeness of the school
libraries to the students as well
as the teachers.”
Patricia Mock stated, “It was
a rare experience for me to see
face to face, an author of today
and I shall never forget it.”
Dorothy Shade said, “The con
vention gave me a profound idea
of how to select the best books
from the best publisher.”
Gwendolyn Patterson said,
“The convention was a privilege
and a unique experience to come
in contact with people from va
rious occupations and profes
sions; especially from those that
will influence me in the future.
Daisy Rogers stated, “This was
one of the most learned experi
ences I’ve encountered. It was
the type of experience that I
wish all students could have.”
Darlena Marshall said, “This
was an opportunity to examine
the books themselves as well as
meeting the representatives of
various publishers.”
These are the comments made
by the students in the Library
Science classes about the con
vention. In general, the meeting
was very interesting and bene
ficial to all persons attending.

Rumor Has It ... or Comment
On Variety of Subjects
That all the students of WSSC
are not treated fair, causing
much discontentment around
campus.
Have You Heard?
About the dormitory matron
who locked the dorm before all
students departing for the
Thanksgiving holidays were
ready to leave.
Rumor has it that the students
were standing outside the dorm
loaded with books and luggage
until the hour of their departure.
What’s going to happen next?
About the hole in the corner
which takes part of your money
before you can get it.
Rumor has it that this office is
charging what seems like a small
amount from the checks or
money orders, fifteen cents.
Don’t they know every cent
counts?
About the way the students
are treated in the dining hall,
not to mention the way they are
fed.
Rumor has it that many of the
students, particularly the males,
are being constantly picked on
by certain hired hands. What are
we going to do about this?
About the phantom who lurks
around the campus at night try
ing to discover something to re
port the next morning or even
the same night.
Rumor has it that he should
be working for the F.B.I.
About the lack of attendance
of the faculty members to Chapel
and Vesper. Are they privileged
characters?
Rumor has it that all are hop
ing the idea will eventually be
done away with.
About the atmosphere in the
student mass meetings. There
seems to be an issue of not
“What your executive can do for
you (the student body)?” but
“What the student body can do
for him.”
Rumor has it that the students
feel this way. “Voice or Bust.”
About the way participants
carry on and dress during cer
tain supposedly cultural pro
grams on campus.
Rumor has it that a certain
program had participants chew
ing gum and improperly dress
ed. Who then should be criti
cized?
