PAGE TEN CAMPUS ECHO THURSDAY, NOV. 25, 1954 New Education Building Will Serve Needs: Scruggs Although the drought which North Carolinians experienced during the stimmer months in hibited the farmers, it was a boon for the architects and con-t tractors of the Education Build ing on North Carolina College’s campus who made great pro- gress with their project during this dry spell. Scheduled to be completed in April 1955, the new building will afford possibilities for im-( provements, not only in teachei} preparedness, but also in meet- ing the individual and depart mental needs. CHANGES According to Dr. Rose Butler Browne, head of the Depart ment of Education, the new* features of the education pro gram to be inaugurated in the new building are directed at better preparation of students for the teaching profession. “In tegration means many changes in the educational set-up. It ia therefore necessary that our stu- students be trained to meet the standards and requirements ol! teachers everywhere.” Among the most outstanding changes in the education curri-t BY YVONNE SCRUGGS culimi being introduced is the requirement of 45, instead of 30 hours of education, 45 hours in a major field, and 30 hoursi in a minor field. There will also be the devotion of one entire) quarter to teaching processes, in which teaching methods and guidance procedures will be com bined for fifteen hours credit. The special facilities of the new education building include a communications center, audio visual aids center, statistical laboratory, guidance clinic, and a lecture auditorium. The com munications center will be equipped to provide special ser vices and mechanisms to in\- prove the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills of potential teachers. The guidance clinic and statistical laboratory are designed for research and analyses, both for departmental uses and individual problems. A-V CENTER Concentrating upon the impor tance of audio-visual aids to modern trends in education, the plans for the audio-visual aids center are elaborated to include a recording studio and control room for the use of classes and other interested students. Both rooms have non-parallel walla and specially installed windows to decrease reflected sound. A listening room, complete with high-fidelity equipment an,d lounging chairs, and a library of educational records and re^ cords for sound effects are among the other attractions of this center. Evidenced in the special seats in each classroom for left-hand ed and obese people, as well as in the special features of the new building, is the philosophy of education as expressed by Dr. Browne: “If we cannot meet the individual needs of a stu dent and recognize the impor tance of individual differences in each student, we should not admit him to our institutionj The objective of o^;^r program is to train our students well so that they will relay their ex periences to their students.” ’ The contractor for the build ing is George W. Kane of Dur-i ham, and the architects are Ham and Ward. The color scheme for the interior is being developed by the Pittsburgh Paint Com pany. Evans In U Yard TD Run As Eagles Rout Smith Jerome (Little Willie) Evans, Eagles co-captain and halfback, scrampered 84 yards to begin scoring as the NCC Eagles swamped the Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith University at West Charlotte High School’s Stadium to the tune of 38-6, November 6. Evans,' the Eagles’ leading ground-gainer, scored his touch down as a result of a touchback. Both •U^iims had exchanged fum bles, with NCC gaining the ball on its own 8 yard line. All-Amer ican Amos Thornton, Evans’ run ning mate, fought for 8 yards to put the ball on the 16, from which point, Evans took off on his 84 yard errand. He later re turned to kick the extra point to put the Eagles ahead 7-0. The first of the second quarter touchdowns came as a result of a pass from quarterback A1 Montgomery to All-American Amos Thornton. The play cover ed 15 yards to put the score at 13-0 as Evans missed the extra point. Montgomery, the brilliant sophomore from Gastonia, also spotted Corneleus Eason in the end zone, and Eason hauled in a 39 yard pass to end the first half scoring at 19-0. Webster’s try for the extra point misfired. The Smith line stiffened in the third period and it looked as if they would score, but Mont gomery made his presence known as he intercepted a Hay wood Renwick pass on the Eagles’ 36 and raced 24 yards to the Smith 45. On the next play Thornton raced 45 yards into the end zone for his second touchdown, and the Eagles were in the business again, leading 25-0. Two third-period touchdowns were called back against the Eagles’ OsCar Turner. After rip ping 70 yards, it was found that the Eagles were the victims of a penalty, and Leon Holly, al ternate fullback, ran 30 yards unaccounted for. Holly had 70 yards nullified in the Eagles’ game against Hampton. Trying to score late in the third period, Renwick intercept ed a pass from Eagle sub-quar terback Ed Hudson and put the ball in play on the Eagle 9 yard line. The Eagle line stiffened and Baxter Holman, Eagle tac kle, became the recipient of a loose ball on the 9. Big John Baxter scored in two plays from four yards out. Webster con verted, and the Eagles led 32-0. Midway the fourth quarter, Bob Price, 18-year-old Charlotte sophomore quarterback, show ed the home folk that he too could score as he intercepted a Renwick pass on the NCC 40 yard line and scooted 60 yards to end the Eagles’ scoring as Webster failed to convert. Smith broke into the scoring column late in the fourth quar ter. Ted Towe, their halfback, raced 59 yards to the Eagles’ 34, from which point Renwick pass ed to Bob Partlow for the score. Renwick failed to convert snd the game ended with NCC win ning 38-6.

C. Seven Teams Sign For Intramural League Battles Seven teams have posted ros ters with the intramural office for touch football competition. The teams posted are Veterans’ Club, Independents, Powerful Invaders, Juggernauts, Dining Hall Terrors, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Alpha Phi Alpha. The YMCA team has not been post ed as yet, but it is understood that a team is forthcoming. The intramural director wish es to remind all prospective teams that under the present plan of “entry-points” for each activity, a team must enter all activities to quality for the in tramural award. Although all student groups rhay enter the competition, only those register ed for all activities are eligible for the intramural award. The program, which is elec tive and voluntary, provides an opportunity for students to par ticipate in competitive athletics although one does not have the time or efficiency to make var sity teams. The program is stu dent directed. One member from the above named units will serve on the Intramural Council whose busi ness it will be to formulate po lices for the overall program. A meeting of the Intramural Coun cil has been held for the pur pose of planning future activities for the year. Each organization is asked to send an official representative to the intramural office for the of ficial entry blank and unit ros- FROM THE SIDELINES With CHUCK WOMACK The homecoming affair Oct. 23, was in the estimination of veteran observers, the best yet. The parade was big and colorful. The game was tough and cleanly fought, but in the minds of some Monday Imorning quar- Iterbacks, it just didn’t end right. They thought gthe Eagles WOMACK should have won at least by three TD’s. The crowd for the O’Kelly field affair was for the most part an orderly group. Mary land State kept the ball on the ground, a tactic well asso ciated with the Eagles. This tended to keep the crowds in their seats, for lack of razzle- dazzle tends to make a good game dull. If there had been passing at regular intervals, or a few pitchouts on occasions, the score would have beeh greater on NCC’s part. Most fans still like to see a team mix up its plays. Neverthe less, the score ended in a 7-7 stalemate to otherwise mar perfect records of the two teams. Maryland State players were guests at the NCC pep rally held in B. N. Duke Auditor ium on the day before the game. They were enjoying their own mock fimeral until they were invited outside by their accompanying minister, portrayed by Alfred Fisher, NCC junior. I thought they would leave when Dr. R. K. Barksdale of the Graduate School read a poem he had composed in their honor. The Harvard-bred professor should have it published. The Pittsburgh Courier’s Bill Nunn had the Hawks in the favorable role. He is the same scribe who at the start of'the season had picked the Eagles to fly all the way home. Seen in the crowd were hun dreds of ex-NCC students. Big R. O. Mason, the 1952 team captain, had a seat between the 45-50 yard lines. Last year’s basketball star, “Sad Sam” Jones, now an Army, private, borrowed a three-day pass from his super iors at Fort Jackson, S. C., to add his presence. Benny Dix, ter blank. The tentative members of the Intramural Council are Percell Bowser, Haywood Buffalo, Reg inald Hayes, J. B. Hargraves, Melvin Holloman, Joe Persons, and Joseph Ray. Serving as student assistants to the intramural director are six senior physical education ma jors. They are Charles Barrick, John Brown, Harvey Heartley, Anzell Harrell, Joe Persons, and Harvey Thompson. former hard-driving basket- baller, was accompanied by his B. W. Big John Duckwilder, the athlete of the year in 1949, made his customary journey to Eagleland to see the ’54 home coming affair. He was accom panied by Buddy Webb, an other former student who hasn’t missed a Homecoming affair in eight years. They both are on the government’s payroll in Dee Cee. Saw Willie Bradshaw, one time Eagle signal caller, with his B. W., the former Miss Minnie Cameron. Willie coach es at Laurinburg. Ruell Blair, ex-Eagle block ing back of another day and present coach at Williamsburg, Va. (The home of end Henry Lewis), came to see his star pupil perform. He previously saw Lewis work in Petersburg, Va., against Virginia State. Robert “Moody” Grant, one time great Eagle tackle and presently grad student here, almost had the Tenn. State- NCC scrap predicted. He miss ed by 3 points—thus finishing out of the money. Hated to hear the rumor that the NCC- Tenn. State series is ending. Wanted to substantiate rumor, and found out it’s true; we are on the verge of pecuniary de predation. Basketball practices began on the night of November 4; will devote part of next month’s column to that. Speaking of basketball, foiP all the folk who have been wondering as to whether Tex Harrison made the grade with the Globetrotters or not, I say he’s in. That brings us around to the last line. Look for the Riddick coached Eagles to make it two in a row over Bill Bell’s Ag gies, and thus assure them selves of their second con secutive CIAA championship. The score should read 35-7. Don’t miss this corner in Dec. In it you will meet the basket- ballers. CHUCK.
