Monday, September 28, 1964 THE CAMPUS ECHO Page Seven NCC Students In Mich. Study Upperclassmen of North Carolina College were admini stered tests by the Survey Re search Center of the University of Michigan September 17-19 imder the guidance of Miss Patricia Billingsly. According to information re ceived from Miss Billinglys, the purpose of these tests was to pinpoint what specific persons or things help or hinder the Negro college student. These tests were given in both Nor thern and Southern schools, all predominantly Negro. Miss Billingsly added that these schools housed more of the basic facts, both future and present, for the new change in America’s heritage. Working along with Miss Billingsly was the Dean of Stu dents, Dr. Marion Thorpe, who commented: “I‘m surprised that so many of our students took the test and I hope that more interest in national polls will stem from this.” Other colleges that partici pated were South C a r ol i n a State, Jackson State, Florida A & M, Tuskegee Institute, Dillard University, Morehouse and Talledega Colleges.

Mr. Knight, President Mas- sit. Dean Thorpe, Members of the Faculty and Staff, Members of the Class of ‘68. I must confess that I feel a little guilty, being a senior and standing here looking out over this sea of freshman faces. But to be perfectly honest, I am also a little happy about the whole thing. And you can take some stock in the fact that time brings all things. For it was not very long ago that I sat out there in one of those seats and listened to the then President of the Student Gov ernment, Mr. Wilbur Hankins, as he spoke to what was then the Class of ‘65. And I remem ber how impressed I was, not only with Mr. Hankins, but also with what he represented. He was speaking as the. represent ative of the student body. He had made his way to the top of the world which I was enter ing. His presence there that night was a great inspiration to all the members of the Freshman Class. And if a word to the wise is sufficient, this job falls vacant every year. As soon as you are registered you will be the largest single class on campus and con sequently the most politically powerful. And I will have more to say on that subject at a later date. You will be the most lec tured to, the most planned for, the most assembled, the most talked about, the most chided, the most blamed, and the least praised of all the classes. Such is the lot of the freshman. And most of this is as it should be. But thoughout it all, there are a few things that I want you to remember. The first thing is that you are college men and women and that means something. It means that there is a high standard of behavior that you subscribe to and adhere to both in public and in private. And it is impor tant that your actions stem from inner motivations be cause the mark of a truly re fined person is not so much, what people think he is but rather what he knows himself to be. It also means that you take full advantage of the op portunities for learning and growing that you find here. And I cannot stress this point too much. Let me warn you now against the pitfall of fol lowing the leader, particularly if that individual is leading you in the wrong direction. Beware of the student who does not study his lessons, who watches too much television, who goes out too much, who engages in too many useless and yes, even too many useful activities, who sleeps too much, who sits on the rail too much, and who talks too much. There are but a few of the temptations which face ,us all, particularly later on in the year when we are deep in what we call the day-to -day routine. During such a period, the temptation to relax is great. But I beseech you to put first things first. And the first duty of a college student is his academic duty. This is the important duty for too of ten we are likely to find that which has the temporary glim mer of gold, has the perman ent tarnish of copper. But there is also a danger in great expectation and these in themselves can prove harmful. And so I must warn you also against interpreting every hu man frailty as a sign of weak ness and of failure. College people are not all-wise and ominipotent, and if you believe they are, you could be sadly disillusioned in the weeks and months ahead. And you might feel like joining those who are here for a holiday. It is at this point that you must re member the winning of a col lege education is a highly in dividual effort and you will sink or swim, now and in the years to come, on the basis of the effort you put forth. If you are in competition with anyone, he is first and foremost yourself. All of us do not have like abili ties and capabilities and like wise we will not all produce a- like. But it is incumbent upon each of us to do the very best he can. (see SC President page 8)
