D. I. C. FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK By Jerome Dudley t ter spending four weeks during the summer in a Meteorological Workshop at the University of Chicago. Miss Spaulding was one of thirty students from all over the United States (one from Norway) attending the work shop on all-expense-paid scho larships by the National Science Foundation. The brilliant mathe matics major was also one of two Negroes attending the work shop. The workshop, according to Miss Spaulding, was divided into two and a half hour morn ing lectures and two and a half hour evening laboratory sessions with field trips to various places in the vicinity. Among the places visited on field trips were the Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Illinois’ weather laboratory. During the four week session the students conducted daily weather observations and made predictions similar to thpse given on radio. In some labora tory sessions the workshop par ticipants formed ice crystals like those which make clouds. At one point the group sent up a radio sonde to observe weather con ditions at several thousand feet. The four weeks was not en tirely devoted to study, for (continued on page 12) To all of the old students, wel come back! To all of the new comers, we are mighty proud to have you join the nest of the high flying Eagles. As I mention this word of , welcome to teach each student of North Carolina College my at tention immediately turns to the protest which the Student Go vernment waged against the Durham Merchants Association. We were protesting the fact that so many of our students spend money in the stores downtown and not a word of welcome is ex tended our freshmen students. We considered this not only a breach of elementary courtesy but an outright insult. - Being Student Government leaders we are pledged to fight for the respect and full dignity which should be accorded our students. We can do no less be cause we are obligated to work in the interest and for the wel fare of the entire student body. We shall dedicate our energies to this end. The work of Student Govern^ ment during this administra tion includes a variety of acti vities. Looking at the lighter side, we see that our social proJ j ^ gram has as one of its features a Student Govern ment Movie Series. This series includes eight movies; all to be shown for the price of $1.00. The price of the tickets was lowered because we wish to ac commodate as many students as possible. Several outstanding movies will be shown in this series. We urge every student to participate. A reminder to those who might have forgotten what the Student Government function is in the college community. The function Is two-fold. First, it is (or is supposed to be) the coordi nator of all student activities on campus. Here it is concerned with the task of seeing that all or most of the activities which involve students are perpetrated in the interest and welfare of the student body. Second, it is a training ground for student leadership abilities under the President’s pet project, Student Self Direction. In this program of Student Self Direction, the student is given the privilege of accepting many challenging re sponsibilities. Our program also includes a bundle full of proposals called “Operation S.G.” Some of these proposals are for lockers in the women’s gymnasium, a book rental system, and extension of the social hours for women stu dents, to mention a few. In addi tion to “Operation SO,” we have a complete redraft of the consti tution which will be up for con sideration in the near future. The new redraft asks for many changes in the structure of stu- SG Sponsors Frosh Dance The Student Government As sociation gave a dance for the Freshman Class of 1962 Satur day, September 13, in the women’s gymnasium as part of the Freshman Orientation Week. An informal 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. affair, the dance had music pro vided by a jukebox. Students turned out in great numbers- more than 500 strong-and the evening was a jubilant one for all. Student Government buttons were passed out to the freshmen. During the intermission, SG president Jerome Dudley read a SG letter of protest expressing the Student Government’s re sentment of the alleged preju dice practiced by the Durham Merchants Association in wel coming students to Durham. The speech received loud applause and the full support of the prc’ dominantly freshmen student body. Following Dudley’s message, upperclassmen led the freshmen in an impromptu pep rally after which refreshments were served. dent organizations on campus. Student Government Week will be observed during Novem ber 2-9. At this time special emphasis will be placed upon the needs of such an organiza tion in this college commxmity. The ^econd Annual Presidents’ Conference will possibly climax the week of SG activities. Two of the British Commonwealth’s most pro minent educators, who were in a party of 28 visi tors to Durham last week, are shown here at North Carolina College at the pedestal of Founder James E. Shepard’s statue.
