instruments of promoting self-
direction.”
Rosa Davis, Junior, Durham,
N. C.: “No. I don’t think that
class attendance should be
compulsory. As college stu
dents we should know that by
not going to class it will only
hinder us in the future. After
all, wheri we get out in the
world, we won’t be compelled
to work.”
Mary Jane Young, Sopho
more, Greensboro, N. C.: “No.
It deprives the student of his
right to exercise a sense of
self-direction, which is one of
the school’s major aims. A
student’s education cannot be
complete with merely what he
learns in class. There will be
many times when he may find
it more educational to be else
where at the time he is sched
uled to be in class.
Dudley Flood, Senior, Win-
ton, N. C.: “No, class attend
ance should never be compul
sory for people who have to
be forced to face responsibili

ns In Here
Dr. J. M. Hubbard, Durham
dentist, is beginning his fifth
year as secretary of the inter
racial Trustees Board of the
North Carolina College at Dur
ham. Dr. Hubbard is a noted
Baptist churchman who is an
alumnus of the North Carolina

James E. Shepard Memorial
Foundation.
The first potential member of
the class of 1971 made his ap
plication to Miss Eagleson’s of
fice last week.
The applicant is Killian Brum
field Stewart, 5 months and 6
days old at the time of applica
tion. He is the son of Dean and
Mrs. John L. Stewart.
The youthful applicant listed
himself as “single” and said that
he probably wouldn’t be receiv
ing benefits under the GI Bill
since he’s not a veteran. He also
confessed that he hasn’t parti
cipated in many student activi
ties previously but might find
time to join a few clubs when
he enters NCC. He considers
“playing with my mother and
dad” his favorite amusement and
“eating good food” his favorite
hobby. Young Stewart said he
tiasn’t read many books recently
but ‘^y Baby, etc.” are the mag
azines most often found about
the house.
The registrar said the applica
tion wouldn’t be acted upon im
mediately.

Brand-new national survey
shows college students prefer Luckies
Last year a survey was made in leading colleges
throughout the country which showed that smokers in
those colleges preferred Luckies to any other cigarette.
This year another nation-wide survey was made—a
representative survey of all students in regular colleges
coast to coast. Based on thousands of actual student in
terviews—this survey shows that, as last year, Luckies
lead again—lead over all other brands, regular or king-
size—by a wide margin! The reason: Luckies taste
better.
