Students To Elect
‘Miss NCC In NovT
The office of President Ernest
Ward has released a bulletin
stating that Miss NCC will not
be elected until November. The
reason given for this decision
was “the desire to avoid the con
fusion that arose from having
both a Miss Homecoming and a
Miss NCC during the Homecom
ing festivities last year.”
In October of 1953, Miss
Delphyne Webber, Winston-Sa
lem beauty, became the first Miss
NCC in the history of the school.
Miss Webber began her reign on
ihe night of October 28 when
she was coronated in B. N. Duke
Auditorium.
A bill passed by the Student
Government during its 1953-54
session declared that Miss NCC
must be a senior and will be con
sidered as the official hostess of
the college.

Jobs in the theatre and fel
lowships for advanced study
have come to four recent drama
majors of the North Carolina
College at Durham.
According to Miss Mary Bo-
hanon, who is in charge of dra
ma at NCC, Ivan Dixon, III, of
New York City, has been grant
ed $1,500 for a one year scholar
ship at Karamu House at West
ern Reserve University, Cleve-i
land, Ohio. Mrs. Dixon, the for
mer Berlee Ray of New Bern, N.
C., received the master of fine
arts degTee at Western Reserve
last July. She had been recipient
of a scholarship for outstanding
work in drama at NCC. Mrs.
Dixon is now a staff member at
Karamu House.
Miss Jacqueline Bames, a
1954 graduate, has been named
assistant stage manager at
Greenwich New Theater in New
York with a twelve month con
tract. Bernard’s Shaw’s “Major
Barbara” is the theater’s current
production.
Robert Cheek, another 1954
graduate, was given a script by
Metro-Goldwyn to read in pre
paration for MGM’s fall tryouts.
p
In the course of their work at
NCC, the young dramatists got
a wide range of theatrical ex
periences from Greek tragedy to
modern melodrama. Their direc
tor, Miss Bohanon, received her
undergraduate education at Pur
due University. She received an
M. A. degree from the Univer
sity of Minnesota in 1945.

If the Homecoming parade is
not a success this year, it won’t
be the fault of Reese Massey,
Robbie Graham, Jessie Moore,
Alfred Fisher, and Norman
Cordice, student officers, who
are co-heading the committee
on Homecoming activities. Or
chids to the committee on
Homecoming activities.
They are really making an
honest effort to present a pa
rade representative of our great
institution.
Fortunately, the Durham,
Business and Professional Chain
is merging with the student
government again in staging the
Homecoming parade. The Chain
is celebrating the week of Oct.
23-30 as Negro Trade Week,
and the parade is only one of
the week’s highlights for them.
Tentative plans are being
made to initiate the festivities
with a pep rally on Friday
night and end them with a
special Vesper service on Sun
day afternoon. In addition to
the parade and game, a Victory
dance is being planned.
Student Self-Direction
Our system of Student Self
Direction provides for a right
of appeal by any student
group. One of the outstanding
purposes of the student Welfare
Committee is to listen to any
appeal of decisions by the Dean
of Men, of Women, etc. If the
student is not satisfied with the
decisions of the student Wel
fare Committee, he can further
E^ppeal to the president i>f the
College. —
While we are on the question
of Student Self-Direction, we
might mention the Student
Court. Many students are not
aware of the fact that the stu^
dent Government Constitution
provides for a student court.
The court is just one of the
many facilities that our stu
dent body can boast of along the
line of Student Self-Direction.
The student court presides
over all disciplinary cases within
the jurisdiction of the student
gov’t. Interestingly enough, the
judges, jury, prosecuting at-
I torney, and clerk are all mem^
bers of our student body.
If the plantiff is not satisfied
with the decision handed down
by the court, he has the right to
appeal to the supreme coiirt,
which is also conducted by stu
dents.
The supreme court has seven
I justices, four from the law
I school, on recommendation of

justices from the undergraduate
school.
We couldn’t have picked a
better time to mention Student
Self-Direction because, .on Fri^
day October 8th the S. G.
Prexy was literally evicted
from his office by a group of
“campaigners” making signs in
support of one of the candi
dates for “Miss Homecoming”
who was dis-approved as a can
didate by the office of the
Dean of Women. That’s one way
of doing things, but now no
one knows better than the offi
cials of the Sophomore Class
and the Student Government
that there is a right way. Let’S
use our right to appeal.
Aid For Needy
Plan Of Ivies
The Ivy Leaf Club, pledge
club to the Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority, will begin its pro
jects on November 6, with a
bazaar in the women’s gym
nasium.
The Ivy Leaf Club also plans
to give baskets to needy fami
lies on Thanksgiving, to give
children’s literature to the
dren’s ward at Lincoln Hos
pital, to write soldiers over
seas, and to entertain at the
Durham Convalescence home
as part of its civic program for
this quarter.
