APRIL, 1968 THE NEWS ARGUS PAGE SEVEN Students Are Classified There are three groups of stu dents here at Winston-Salem State College: those who belong to many organizations, those ac tive only in Greek-letter organi zations, and those who do not belong to any campus clubs.

Let’s sup port our campus clubs! —Constance Segers The longer I live, the more deeply I am convinced that that which makes the difference be tween one man and another — between the weak and the pow erful, the great and the insigni ficant — is energy, invincible determination, a purpose once formed and then death or vic tory. —Powell Buxton To look fearlessly upon life; to accept the laws of nature, not with meek resignation, but as her sons, who dare to search and question; to have peace and con fidence within our souls — these are the beliefs that make for happiness. —Maeterlinck GLORIA BARRINGER Former Student Plans Operatic Career Miss Gloria Barringer, a form er student at Winston-Salem State College and now a senior at Southern Illinois University (SlU), is “sounding all notes” in her effort to prepare for a ca reer in opera. A dramatic soprano majoring in voice with a concentration in opera, Miss Barringer has sung in four operas at SIU. Her first role was that of Guilietta in Of fenbach’s “Talcs of Hoffman.” Then she sang the role of Mer cedes in Bizet’s Carnu'n. Next, she portrayed the role of Nella in Pucchini’s Gianni Schicci and her latest role was that of Mrs. Gobineau in Menotti’s The .Me dium. Miss Barringer has had her heart set on a career in opera for some time. Her favorite sing er is Leontyne Price in whose footsteps she hopes to follow. Last year Miss Barringer hit a high note when she, along with seven other young singers, was invited to spend the sum mer expense free studying with Majorie Lawrence at her Ark ansas ranch. The former Metro politan and Paris opera star is artist-in-residence at SIU. Miss Barringer’s musical abili ty was first truly recognized in 1964 when as a high school sen ior she was selected to spend the summer studying at the North Carolina Governor’s School, a school for gifted and talented high school students. The following fall she entered Winston-Salem State on a musi cal scholarship. She was select ed as an exchange student to study at SIU for 1965-66. She transferred to SIU and will grad uate at the end of tlie summer. She plans to return to Winston- Salem to continue her study at The North Carolina School of the Performing Arts. At her senior recital. Miss Barringer played the piano in addition to displaying her vocal talent. She was inducted into Mu Phi Epsilon, a professional music sorority during January. She is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Between “notes” Miss Barrin ger serves as resident Counselor at Auburn Hall, a co-ed dormi tory. A native of Huntersville, N. C., Mi.ss Barringer is the daughter of Mrs. Anna Barrin ger and the late Mr. Curlee Bar ringer.

A di lemma exists: There is happi ness and pleasure that the or deal is behind, but there are un- definable feelings of anxiety, un certainty, and something closely akin to sadness at the prospect of leaving. The students and the supervising teacher who have been encountered daily by the student teacher are undoubtedly responsible for these feelings. How any human being could re act with a fixed set of emotions to some of the following inci dents strains the understanding. For instance, —The first week the students stare at the “new practice teach er” so intently that you begin to wonder if you’re looking just a bit green. —A few “roughnecks” in the class persist in calling “Hey, Miss Lady” and beckoning with the index finger. —You’re knowingly told by a student, “You are a teacher now,” when you are directed by your supervising teacher to rep rimand two students for not pay ing attention. —You ask a question and it is curtly asked of you, “What are you asking me for?” —^You are told by an intelli gent, rapidly - becoming - hand some ninth grader, “Miss , I want you to stop teaching, come home with me, and be my wife.” —One young man sternly states, “Don’t holler at me.” —Three young ladies are per sistent with the comments, “You’re pretty, you look nice each day, and you look like a doll.” —A “cool” young man tells you, “Miss , you are going to cry when you leave me.” —On your birthday, you are surprised by the class. They get you out of the classroom on false pretenses, and they return shouting “Happy Birthday” and present you with your favorite cologne. A young man states, obvious ly, for your benefit, “I’m glad to leave this classroom.” And at an other time the same young man says, “I’d better not see any practice teachers on the street.” —You are invited to lunch prepared by students in your section who are taking Home Economics. —On the day you leave, two parties are given in your honor (by different sections) complete with gifts, speeches and songs dedicated to you. —An original poem is dedi cated to you. —A young man gives you a box of chocolates. By the ninth week, one has become accustomed to the stu dents who remain after school to chat for a few minutes, some times for the sake of chatting or perhaps to become better ac quainted or to sympathetically request that the forthcoming test be postponed. There is the feeling of accom plishing more than eight hours credit when told thanks for being “a friend.” There can be no disputing the fact that the student teacher becomes at tached to his students. Nothing is known about the students the first day, but eventually their nail-polished fingers scribble more on the mind than is be lievable. It is inevitable that some of the students become more at tached to the student teacher than others. And it is just as inevitable that the student teacher becomes aware of the many reasons teachers grow to love their work and remain in the teaching profession so long. In any human experience, un pleasant aspects are readily for gotten. Student teaching is no different. What really remains is the richness of the human ex perience of helping others and the sensation of knowing that you have been appreciated. —Joyce 0. Pettis Placement Office To Expand Operation In order to provide better placement services, the Place ment Office will be moved temp orarily to the basement of Caro lina Hall in the left wing. The temporary location in Carolina Hall will provide space for extensive display of reading material that has been ordered from several hundred business corporations. These materials will be available for students to browse through immediately after the office opens. In addi tion to the display area, there will be three conference rooms for interviews, and offices for Mr. Goore, the Placement offi cer, and his secretary. In the past, graduates of WSSC have gone chiefly into teaching and nursing, but now many new vocations are open to college graduates. The expanded services of the placement office will help make students aware of the broadened horizons. In a further effort to improve placement services, a permanent standing committee has been or ganized. It is called Career Counseling and Placement. This committee is composed of facul ty and administrative officers, two students, Lewis Turner and Janet Beckett, Mr. W. I. Morris, placement officer at A.&T. State University, and a representative from a local industry. The com mittee will hold its first meeting on Friday, April 26. With the remodeling of the- Administration Building, the third floor will become the new placement center in which all kinds of materials and informa tion about different jobs will be available. —Dorothy Pearson A Medical Answer For MUSCULAR Low Back Pain Promptly Relieves Pain So Stiff Muscles Loosen Up and You’re Back Into Action Doctors who specialize in back troubles report most aching backs are due to weak, tense muscles which can go into painful spasm as you suddenly bend, stretch or twist.
