Plans Told
For Institute
The Department of EngUsh at
Saint Augustine’s College will hold
its Seventh Language Arts Insti
tute on AprU 3, 1965. High school
teachers of English from surround
ing areas in North Carolina are in
vited to participate in the annual
event.
This year’s theme “From They
To He: Interpretation and Analy
sis” will incorporate many areas,
including literature, audio - visual
aids in teaching English, linguis
tics, and remedial English. Since
reading is considered one of the
most important areas of commun-
ications, many aspects of reading
will also be discussed, including
the novel, the short story, and the
periodical.
Although the Institute is design
ed to bring about greater articula
tion between the high school teach
er of English and the college teach
er of English, the English Depart
ment has agreed to invite noted
consultants in the aforementioned
areas to render their services.
The following English majors
have been appointed to serve on
various committees: Miss Betty
Cook, Miss Lena Crudup, Miss
Maurvene DeBerry, Miss Rozell
Elam, Miss Anne Gaskins, Miss
Dianne Harris, Charlie Howard,
Miss Judith Moore, Miss Edith
Murrell, Miss Carolyn Jackson,
Bernard Jones, Miss Juana Lopez,
Ralph Knuckles, Miss Iris Sand
ers, and Miss Brenda Williams.
The new members are; John
Larkins, a science major of Jersey
City, N. J.; Maurvene DeBerry,
an English major of Raleigh, N.
C.; Juana Lopez, an English major
of Panama; Judith Moore, an Eng
lish major of Fayetteville, N. C.
Lucille Thomas, a French-English
major of Raleigh; all juniors and
Alberta Jackson, a senior and
physical education major of Edge
field, S. C.
Dr. Prezell R. Robinson, Execu
tive Dean of the College, is advisor
of Alpha Kappa Mu.

legiate Music Competition, spon
sored by the Student Union of

College Gets Curriculum Lab
By ELEANOR F. SMITH
The CoUege curriculum labor
atory is under development in the
Department of Education. Dr. J.
T. Guines, Head of the Depart
ment, is in charge of collecting and
purchasing the materials and
equipment which are to be a part
of the curriculum laboratory.
The curriculum laboratory is a
service center which is found in
most outstanding teacher educa
tion programs. It renders a vital
and important service to the pre
paration of teachers for the fidl
range of activities that go on in
schools of today in many ways.
According to Dr. Guines, it is a
library since school text books for
all grades and in aU subjects may
be checked out for study by teacher
trainees. Not only will there be
textbooks in the curriculum lab
oratory under development, but
there will also be professional bul
letins on almost any subject of
interest to teachers in today’s
schools. Selected library bwks
which would be found in the puchc
schools across the country will
also be included. There wUl be
more than books in the curriculum
laboratory. One will find standard
ized tests of all sorts, both individ
ual and group. These tests wiU
include keys, directions for admin
istering and profile charts which
are used to plot the performance
of a class or individual on the
test. These tests should afford val-
uabie opportunities for students to
become acquainted with the kinds
of tests they will be expected to
use in their teaching positions.
Other materials which will be in
the curriculum laboratory will be
in the line of audio-visual aids.
Film strips of all sorts on most sub
jects, grades one through twelve,
will also be found in the laboratory.
Teaching games for the language
areas; English, Spanish, and
French will be found. Records in
the social studies, arithmetic,
music, science, health, and other
subjects will be found in the lab
oratory. Bulletin board ideas, sci
ence Mts for simple experiments,
as well as resource units will be
found in the laboratory.
Another useful area which will
be a part of the laboratory will be
the instructional materials gather
ed from all over the state of North
CaroUna and the United States.
This material includes courses of
study, reproduced bulletins, school
handbooks, curriculum guides and
many other types of aids. This
should render valuable informa
tion to teacher trainees who would
like to know, for instance, what
the seventh grade science or social
studies program looks like in
another part of the state or coun
try.
As planned, the curriculum lab
oratory will render certain services
to the students at a smaU cost for
materials. This service will be in
the form of running off ditto mas
ters for students who are attempt
ing to make class reports or dem
onstration lessons in various
methods and other courses. The
student will probably purchase his
ditto master from the laboratory,
prepare it, and return it to be
run-off on a ditto machine which
will be in the laboratory. Of course
the student must pay a small cost
for paper which will be used for
this service. This small cost is not
for profit. Dr. Guines makes clear,
but will be used to purchase more
supplies and keep the service going
to aid students. Other services to
students will be the checking out,
to students, of record players for
class use and also tapes and tape
recorders.
Students and teachers of the
college wUl have the use of the
laboratory early in the second
semester.
U. N. In Big
Assault On
World Illiteracy
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. — The
United Nations has taken steps to
speed development of information
media in areas lacking adequate
mass communications for spread
ing education and culture.
The program is expected to pro
duce widespread growth of press,
radio, television and film facilities
in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
The world organization was stir
red into action by a survey made
by the U. N. Educational, Scienti
fic and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) showing 70 per cent of
the world’s population is without
proper communications facilities.
According to conclusions Srawn
from the survey, an estimated two
billion persons lack the benefits
inherent in mass media in such
fields as information, education,
culture and entertainment.

City Folk from Bucknell Univer

Instrumental groups of less than
full orchestra size will compete
on one evening. Prizes of $250.00
$100.00, and $50.00 win be awarded
for these winning groups. Any style

“rock and roll.”
Vocal groups, both folk and popu
lar. will com^te on the second
night for identical prizes.
Two previous winners in the
I.M.C. are now professional groups.
The Tradewinds were the grand
prize winners of the First I.M.C.
in 1962. The City Folk won

Elect An “LBJ”
By JUANA LOPEZ
Lottie Baker, Jr., a native of
Willow Springs, North Carolina, is
our new Student Council Presi
dent. He was elected recently by
popular vote, along with Ralph
Person, vice-president; and Ed
ward Chester, member-at-large.
Upon hearing of his victory, Lot
tie expressed his thanks to all who
made this honor possible. At a
recent assembly, the entire Stu
dent Council was officially installed
in the Health and Fine Arts Build
ing. to our “L.B.J.’s” speech, he
mentioned President Johnson’s caU
“for the establishment of an All-
American Party for all Ameri
cans.” Mr. Baker concluded with
the following statement: “Today I
call upon you for the erection of
an All-American Student Body here
at Saint Augustine’s College.”
Our president is a history ma
jor with a minor in English, plans
to attend graduate school immed
iately after he leaves Saint Augus
tine’s College. His aspiration is to
become a lawyer.
At present, Lottie Baker, Jr., is
the national executive secretary of
the Sigma Rho Sigma honor socie
ty, the president of the Beta Xi
chapter of the PM Beta Sigma
Fraternity, Inc., a member of the
Social Science Club, a member of
the Canterbury Club, and a can

The General Assembly’s Social
Humanitarian and Cultural Com
mittee recently passed a resolution
inviting the U. N. Technical Assis
tance Board and the Special Fund
to help the developing countries in
strengthening their mass communi
cations.
Approval of the resolution open
ed the way for U.N. projects in
areas where information media
have suffered from lack of money
and technical know-how.
U.N. officials regard the right to
information as one of the funda
mental rights of man. The UNESCO
survey, they said, showed that this
rieht is only theoretical for most of
the world’s people and demons
trated a definite relationship be
tween development of information
media and general economic and
social progress.
