PAGE TWO THE NEWS ARGUS SUMMER, 19(i(i FAREWELL, WSSC With the ropes of the past, we ring the bells of the future. With hearts full of love we share golden memories. We have been loyal to dear old S. C. Now, we are parting; hating to say good-bye. We have prepared to leave, and soon we’ll be gone. Leaving dear old S. C., but never to be alone We’ll take with us treasures that time cannot erase, We’ll take with us memories that are ours never misplace. —Anna J. Ingram Summer, 1966 COLLEGE STUDENTS IN CRISIS Today’s young college students are faced with tumulte of demanding problems. The problems range from the seemingly simple tasks of every day living to the racial problems of me na tion to the international question of war in Viet Nam to the dis covery of the mysteries of the universe. In order to cope with these problems and meet the ever-growing anxieties of a space age world we college students must be able to readily see our responsibilities. We should willingly adapt ourselves to our roles. We have been called such names as “the beat generation” and “the rebellious ones.” More important than all these names, we are the new future of the world. We are the men and women who must take on the responsibilities of making life purposeful, grati fying and peaceful in a chaos filled world. We should now be pre paring ourselves for this task. Our preparations are many, diffi cult and varied. , ^ . ,-u For some their destiny is to fight and sweat in the swamps of a far-off country defending what they believe. For others, the duty may be to inquire and tread into the horizons of whatever is still unknown. Still others may have the task of going through the world as self-appointed ambassadors of good will who will try to persuade everyone they meet that friendship is better than power, that justice should be tempered with mercy, that happiness excels wealth, and that love is greater than charity. Each of us has a task. We must, as the world’s only hope for the future, accept our duties whether they be highly or lowly. We must remember that we cannot all be the captain; some must b© the crew Let us today begin the job of accepting our responsibilities. We must as college students no longer shrink from the job ahead. Let us accept and meet the challenge.- Let us strive to bring home knowledge, understanding, and peace to the world. Let us do these things and thereby fulfill our roles in a world of crisis. —Coleman Freeman, Editor SWEAT AND BEAR IT Summer school students face problems that are not encounter ed in regular sessions. Many of these problems are more noticable than others. , , , ■ „ There is, for instance, the problem of seven o clock morning classes. This ordeal is faced by many students entered in the sum mer session. The change from eight or nine o’clock classes to a seven o’clock class is a tough problem of adjustment. However, no one complains about this situation, for it has its advantages. Another troublesome situation is daily book load. Carrying nine hours requires the use of at least three books, and in some cases four and five. Since classes meet each day and in some instances, twice a day, this book load has to be carried each day, all day, until classes are completed. Likewise the amount ot books is only exceeded by the amount of post-class work to be done each day. But the quantity of books and daily work is expected by the students, so nothing is said. However, there is one final problem that none of us can con trol though it is perhaps the most contributing factor to the diffi culty of studying in the summer session. Unless one has attended a summer session in this type climate, he could never understand the strain of trying to study Keckemeti’s theory of prejudice in sociology or the “Imparfait Subjonctif” in French while sweating in 90 degree weather. Summer school students are to be congratulated for their fine efforts to fight the books and the heat simultaneously. —Coleman Freeman, Jr. Five Tournaments Are Scheduled To Complete Campus Recreation College Seeks Prominent Role In Undergrad Study Is there going to be a grad uate school here? “There is no plan to offer any thing new in the curriculum this fall,” President Kenneth Wil liams said. The curriculum committee is studying the possibility of add ing majors in business adminis tration, government, art, and economics, he said. The commit tee will designate the require ments for these fields and sug gest the addition of faculty mem bers necessary to add these majors, he said. “We expect the undergraduate program to have enough finan cial support in the next few years to be of outstanding quali ty,” he said. The Board of Trus tees insists that we have an out standing undergraduate p r o- gram.” —Mary Denning Old Walnut Tree Still Stands As Symbol of Campus Beauty To close out the summer school recreational activities, va rious tournaments have been planned.

Once bordered by beautiful red roses and a velvet lawn, but now modern constructed build ings equipped for progressive education, an old walnut tree still stands gracing the Winston- Salem State College campus. The walnut tree stands in a solarium of the recently dedicated Hill Science Hall and the elegant Fine Arts building. Many of the scenic and his toric spots on campus revered by old grads have been replaced by buildings in recent years. The newly laid all weather tennis courts and grounds for other ath letic fields once bordered a little creek. The site of the dormitory now under construction for men was once a garden where many students spent part of their time laboring to supply fresh food for the meals. The well used Blair Adminis tration Library building replaced a huge fish pond and a little bandstand that was a favorite spot to gather for Sunday after noon affairs. One cannot forget the beauti ful flower garden with its run ning water fountain that was re placed by the Moore domitory for women. The fraternity and sorority symbols near Pegram Hall had to find a new home after being in front of Rickett Hall because of the new build ing. Unlike these scenic spots re moved for up-to-date purposes, the walnut tree remains. Although this tree with its wide branches reigns over a much smaller domain than in years of glory, it still protects the last vestiges of campus green. For many grads and faculty members it holds many fond memories. To them its friendly branches recall May Days and band and choir concerts under the shade of the big walnut tree. To Dr. James A. Dillard, just completing his 25th year at WSSC, it recalls a picture of many people sitting on the lawn and many using the walnut tree for shade to listen to the choir give its annual spring concert. He feels that “there isn’t an other place on this campus that could be used for such a pur pose.” He reflected that Eller Hall made a “perfect shell” for this kind of outdoor concert. Although each building on campus has been constructed to meet present and future need.-; of WSSC, the walnut tree is a part of that need, too. This tree satisfies our need for nature’s beauty so well that it may be making a comeback. After all, it graced the beauty pageant for the crowning of the campus May Queen for 1966 just two months ago. Welcome back to the campus limelight, dear old Walnut tree. —Robert F.
