DUKE ELLINGTON
Duke Will Play
April 30 Concert
Internationally famous band
leader Duke Ellington is sche-
duted to make his debut at
North Carolina College on Mon
day, April 30, under the spon
sorship of the North Carolina
College Law School.
The La'^ School is reportedly
presenting the Ellington concert
for the purpose of raising mon j;y
for the scholarship fund.
Ellington, one of the foremost
exponents of jazz today, has
played in concert in some of the
major concert stages across the
nation. Among the cities in
which he has played are Cleve-
Jgnd, Bo.'jtori, Philp.delphia, I.os
Angeles, and Chicago.
The Duke is an annual at
traction at the Philharmonic in
Los Angeles, the Civic Opera in
Chicago, the Academy Hall in
Philadelphia and a host of
others.
In the opinion of many,
Duke’s concert activities have
won him an audience of the
widest scope and established the
crown of leadership on his head
more firmly than at any time in
his career.
Students, School OK Constitution
By ROBERT PERRY
Graduate ana professional
students, after the current term,
will no longer be entitled to
such privileges as free admis
sion to lyceum attractions, SG
dances, and athletic contests.
Beginning next September,
students must have at least a 1.5
average in order to run for the
top student elective offices on
campus.
Summer School
Announces Plans
NCC’s Summer Session will
run from June 11 through Au
gust 4, it was revealed here to
day in a release from the office
of Dr. J. H. Tayior, Director.
As usual, the summer pro
gram will be divided into three
sessions, a six weeks term fea
turing workshops and clinics, a
nine weeks terms which will af
ford a variety of undergraduate
and graduate courses, and a
concentrated three week post
session.
Among workshops being of
fered during the June 11-July
19 session are those in Audio-
Visual Aids, Health Education,
Reading, Resource-Use Educa
tion, Social Studies, Alcoholic
Education, Family Relations,
Mental Hofilt.h Special Educa
tion. Juvenile Probation Work,
and the annual workshop for
Principals.
Some 125 undergraduate and
graduate courses will be hand
led by 60 instructors in the
nine weeks term offering work
credit toward graduation or cer
tification. Students may earn
four and one-half quarter hours
in the post-session.
According to Dr. Taylor, the
Summer School will offer a rich
and varied program of cultural
and recreational activities.
These are two of the impor
tant changes that will soon go
into effect here as a result of
the newly ratified Student
Government Constitution.
The Constitution was signed
on February 9 by Presider A. El
der, Dean Turner, chairman of
the Student Welfare Committee;
Sherman Perry, SG prexy, and
Henry Fair, vice president of
the Student Government.
Student Government files re
veal that Calvin Norman, who
was president of the SG in 1951-
52, was the first to initiate work
on the constitution. Every Stu
dent Government since that
time has done something toward
drawing up the Constitution.
Thus, the recent ratification
brings to an end five years of
work by five different govern
ments.
However, the present docu
ment is quite different from
others that have been drawn up
since 1951, the most significant
difference having to do with
separating the graduate and un
dergraduate students. The con
stitution applies exclusively to
undergraduates. Graduate stu
dents will no longer be required
to pay activity fees, and they
will not be entitled to receive

in a foreign country.
Provisions are also made for

teachers, lecturers, research
