Group Organizes
For Hawkins
The members of the Afro-Ameri-
can Club organized to aid Dr. Regi-
I nald Hawkins in his campaign for
! governor of North Carolina. The
Students for Hawkins organization
worked in each precinct with voter
registration, distributing literature
throughout the city of Winston-
Salem.
Various members of the organi
zation passed out literature on
Hawkins at the registration sta
tions. Many posters were made
and circulated by the Students for
Hawkins.
The organization also helped
sponsor buses to take students to
Hawkins’ campaign headquarters
in the city. Transportation and
meals for students who gave their
time to the campaign were also
provided.
The Students for Hawkins also
made an effort to aid Dr. Hawkins
financially. They asked members of
the faculty and staff of Winston-
Salem State for cash donations.
Foreign Students
Welcomed
Winston-Salem State College has
welcomed two remarkable young
women to the college family. Miss
Florence Scobie and Miss Louisa
Williams, natives of Trinidad and
Panama respectively.
“Trying to cope with a new
method of teaching that is really
different,” said Miss Scobie,” is
my most difficult problem.” She
left a teaching position in Trinidad
to become a student here at State.
She was bored at home and wanted
to broaden her horizon.
A junior music major, Miss
Scobie explained that the Ameri
can system of teaching differs
greatly from that of Trinidad. She
said, “The teacher-student rela
tionships differ. In Trinidad the
teacher’s word is law, and stu
dents’ views are suppressed. Stu
dents are taught to explore more
and are more restricted in social
relationship than Americans.
She said that the students are
■very friendly, and the instructors
are helpful. Miss Scobie loves Win
ston-Salem and enjoys campus life.
Miss Williams came to Winston-
Salem to study at the Winston-
Salem Bible College. She has fin
ished secretarial courses at the
Bible College and is enrolled at
State as a special student. She
plans to enter the nursing school
at State.
Miss Williams said that students
and instructors at WSSC are friend
ly and hospitable. “I like Winston-
Salem State very much,” she said,
“though I have had some diffi
culty in finding materials in the
library that I need for my classes
The systems of education in Ameri
ca and Panama are about the
same, except that teachers in
Panama are shown more respect.”
Lawrence Starks, Jr., Editor of the
Yearbook, presented to Mrs. Bir-
dell Lawhorn the first edition of
the 1968-69 yearbook. Miss Shirley
Clavon presented Mr. Clarence E.
Gaines with an award for his out
standing guidance and leadership
in the P Phi E.

Club Sponsors
Program
To highlight the Library Week
celebration, the Library Literary
Club and the Student Activities
Committee presented Miss Joanna
Featherstone in a “one woman
show” in Fries Auditorium Mon
day, April 22.
Miss Featherstone presented an
array of poetry by Negro poets.
She dramatized “The Negro Love
Song,” “Discover,” and “In De
Morn” by Paul Lawrence Dunbar.
From the spiritualistic poetry of
James Weldon Johnson, she per
formed “The Creation.” She dram
atized “Since You Went Away” by
Johnson in tribute to the late Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Miss Featherstone read a poem
by the novelist Richard Wright,
“Between the World and Me.” Her
final selection was one from the
play “In White America” that re
flected the reactions of a 15-year-
old Negro girl in the Little Rock,
Ark. school integration.
Miss Mildred H. Mallette opened
the program and introduced Miss
Featherstone. Closing remarks
were made by Mrs. Juanita Oubre.
A reception was held immediately
afterwards in Brown Hall Parlor.

The Winston-Salem State College
Choir has been extended an invi
tation to tour Europe during the
summer. The tour includes the
Choraliers Internationale in Vaison.
Two Winston-Salem faculty mem
bers have received study grants
to attend the African Studies Semi
nar to be conducted at the NDEA
African Center at the University
of California, Los Angeles.
Mr. Robert Cummings and Dr.
Daniel Edem were notified recently
of their selection. They will work
with twenty-eight other representa
tives from colleges across the na
tion.
The seminar is designed to assist
colleges which pffer programs in
teacher education in establishing
an international dimension in the
field of African studies. The pro
gram is essentially of fifteen
months duration. An eight week
seminar (June 22-August 16) will
be held this summer, followed by
programs set up on the college
campuses in the fall.
The WSSC fall program headed
by Mr. Cummings and Dr. Edem
will include a series of seminars
embracing the following areas: (1)
African religion, tribal groupings
and histories, modes of living and
social and economic systems; (2)
The impact of Western culture on
African cultures; (3) African poli
tical developments under the west
ern powers — France, England,
Portugal, and others; (4) Under
standing the economic, education
al and political problems facing
the modern African countries.
A second seminar for the pro
gram participants will be held in
Africa during the summer of 1969.
Mr. Cummings, an instructor of
history, explained the program and
voiced the hope that it will help
fill the need for knowledge of the
total development of the world’s
black people.
“I feel that the program we
develop will meet our students’
desires for more information on
the Afro-American relationships”,
he said. “Our library does not
have materials on this vast new
area, therefore, our need is most
vital and our problem most se
vere.”
Dr. Edem, Professor of Educa
tion and Psychology, was also
enthusiastic about the program.
Dr. Edem is a native of Nigeria.
He said, “I think that the experi
ence I shall gain during the semi
nar will increase my knowledge
about my country, which will en
able me to satisfy the great desire
of my students to know more
about Africa.
Some twenty faculty members
will be doing advanced study this
summer through grants made
available by the Ford Foundation,
NDEA, Piedmont University Cen
ter and Winston-Salem State Col
lege, Board of Higher Education
and Title III of the Higher Educa
tion Act.
Mrs. Hazel J. Harvey will con-'
tinue her study of English at the
University of Michigan on a Ford
Foundation Fellowship. Dr. Charlie
