Saturday, September 30, 1967 CAMPUS ECHO Page Three Eagle of the Motith Stanton Saluted As Month’s Eagle By CHRISTYAL BROWN Eagle of the Month for Sep tember is a well known young man around our campus, Wil liam Ernest Stanton, better known as “Billy” or “Stanton” to his many friends. Presently, Stanton is captain of the ’67 Eagles football team which is why he was chosen this month to highlight our football season. Stanton is a ,twenty-year-old senior from High Point, North Carolina, and a graduate of William Perm High School. While a student at William Penn, he was captain of the- football team, vice-president of the Senior Class, president of Hi-Y, assistant band director, a member of the National Honor Society, track team, and Dra matics Club. He had planned to attend Michigan State Univer sity and pursue a career in me chanical engineering. Once upon a time Stanton felt he had no desire to play college football. However, after conferring with his father, an alumnus of NCC, and some coaches, he decided to become an NCC Eagle and play football. As an NCC student, Stanton is still very versatile and quite active in many things. His major is Chemistry and his minor is General Science. Stanton is a member of the Chemistry Club and of course, the mighty Eagle football team. He states his hob bies as bowling, drag racing, all athletics, and “girl watch- i n g.” However, we secretly know that he was once a mod est clarinet player who happen- WILLIAM STANTON ed to be very good. In the fu ture, he plans to become an in dustrial chemist or with a lot of luck, a professional football player. When asked about our team, Stanton says that he has high hopes for this year’s Eagles. He thinks that the fellows are hard workers and anxious to make number one in the CIAA. His greatest desire is to boost stu dent morale and support in or der to help the team bring the victories home. NCC Instructors To Share In Meet Four North Carolina College instructors.

Clark, vice president for research at North Carolina’s Research Triangle Institute, assured North Caro lina College professors that libe ral arts programs are necessary in our scientific society. The scientist reviewed the history of higher education in the United States, pointing out that colleges attended by signers of the Declaration of Independ ence were liberal arts institu tions. Dr. Clark did stf)me research that showed that the institutions which trained the highest percen tages of top-level scientists were liberal arts schools, and the presidents of tlje colleges were graduates of liberal arts col leges. Leadership and planning were considered as the primary needs for a liberal arts college by Dr. Clark. He called on the professors to plan for the future, to keep abreast of developments, and to> make themselves easily accept able to change. Dr. Clark stressed that the sciences'should. not be neglected, and that they should be taught with an ever increasing interest. “Science is itself an intellect ual pursuit, demanding the high est type of intellectual train ing,” Dr. Clark stated. “It is a part of a true liberal educa tion ... It is the responsihility of the college to give the spe cialist in any field a chani^e to get a liberal education.” Everybody’s Joining The Mod Set By Rosita L. Bullock Everybody’s doing what? Join ing the mod set, that’s what! Once again we begin another school year, making new ac quaintances and renewing old ones. Whether a new arrival or an old timer, everybody seems to be joining the mod set. Some are going all the way mod; some are going slightly mod. The mod look really started during the latter part of the winter season of this past win ter, but the style really caught on here at N.C.C. this summer. Mod dressing includes the bold, shocking colors and figures down, or should I say up, to the mini dresses. Mod dressing like most fash ions fall basically into the hands of the coeds. That’s one good thing about being a fellow, men’s styles don’t change with every season. The men’s styles stay basically the same. With this thought in mind, this arti cle is geared mostly toward the co-ed at N.C.C. The most controversial topic of mod dressing is the mini (dress or skirt). There is a story behind the mini or the short skirt that most women (young) aren’t aware of. It seems that whenever there is a war or con flict the skirt length goes up. Take the flapper look of the ‘20’ss—World War I, the short skirt of the ‘30’s and ‘40’s— World War II, and now the mini—whether you call it a war or conflict, there’s Viet Nam. The theory is that during the first two wars the shortness of skirts was due to fabric short age. Such is not the case of to day. But there is another theory on the shortness of skirts and that is everybody slackens up on the usual taboes existing. Such could be the case today. So the older folks (name ly faculty and staff) need not be so shocked at the sight of mini skirts on campus. More than likely they wore the equivalent to the mini either during the ‘20’s, the ‘30’s, or the ‘40’s. Wear your minis if you wish, but a word of caution to you. Before you stroll on the verdant greens or anywhere, give your self the mirror test. Bend over— do you see anything? Give your self a good overall look in a full-length mirror. Does the mini suit your figure? If your answer is no to the first ques tion and yes to the next—wear your mini! Mind you, I said mini (about three to four inches above the top of the knee). The word in today’s mod style is simplicity. There is a tinge of the “baby doll” look in to day’s mod dress. Last year’s “tent” dress is on its way out although a lot of us are wear ing them because we’re stuck with an overload of last year's stock. Other aspects of the mod look are strip>es! I have seen all kinds of stripes, horizontal and verti cals on campus of every color combination. Other bold figures are worn too . There is really no pattern to print, but it is usually of very striking colors. Fellows can not help but no tice legs around campus. It seems that brown (natural col ored) or black stockings are a thing of the past. Today’s look are the pastel stockings that match out-fits and the basic white or off-white stocking. Al so the window-pane and crazy- knit stockings are also seen on campus. Some more question of caution when you wear them—■ do the colors match? Are they appropriate for my dress? Accessories are also in on the mod look. Most shoes have low square heels with square-like toes, accented with a bow or buckle on the toe. Shoes are also worn matching the bright ly colored outfits. Link belts are also a part of the mod-look. Most are metallic or plastic, cir cular linked belts worn on the hips. Colorful clusters of bows that top off the mod outfits are seen worn in the hair. There are a sprinkling of Twiggy hair cuts and the “Flapper look.” Aside from the new mod look, the old stand-by standard look is still here and will remain as one style or fad goes out. So wehther you are a flam boyant mod dresser or a conser vative standard dresser or an “in-between” dresser, the choice is yours. “Happy Dressing.” Phi Beta Lambda Greets Freshmen By H.
