'nf Harold McDaniels: Preparing For The Future Miss Music Of Tlie Border Belt Improved services will be available for Southeastern students and faculty in the future thanks to the office of Research and Evaluation •ind its director, Walter A. McDaniels. Since his arrival here in September, Mr. Mc Daniels has been very busy evaluating the needs of our growing college. “Surveys are one of the 'tiajor responsibilities of oiy office,” Mr. Mc Daniels said. In the past nionths McDaniels and his staff have reviewed the veterans financial aid program, the Learning Resources Center, and several other college services. Mr. McDaniels comes to us from Swannanoa, N.C., where he worked with the State Depart ment of Corrections. He has held other research positions with the cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia. McDaniels feels that his experience as a teacher in the Philadelphia school system will help him in understanding the problems facing students. One of the immediate goals of his office is to eliminate the long lines during registration. Another project is the development of a “Data Base” to make compiled records and information, more available. Much of Mr. McDaniels’ job in volves work with our computer, and he feels data processing will take an increasingly larger role in the school’s ad ministration and curricula. Mr. McDaniels is presently working toward a doctorate from N.C. State. He now holds a bachelor of arts degree from Cheyney State in Pennsylvania and a master’s from Lehigh. Among his other diversions, Harold has formed a chess club and is currently regarded as one of the campus’ leading chess hustlers.

Two of the contestants, Carolyn Graham and Arlene Evans, attend S.C.C. In the pageant the girls demonstrated their talents, which in some instances were amusing and in others showed much originality. Also there was streetwear competition, swimsuit, and evening wear competition. The girls were also judged on their self - in troductions, poise, and dress. All the girls were lovely which presented a difficult task for judges. Julie Stocks, Martha Young, Brenda Ebron, and Lloyd Inman. Jr. were the judges. The theme was “From Now Till Eternity” for which a poem was written by an S.C.C. student Miss Sue Graham. Miss Emily Adams, an artist in residence at S.C.C., provided the special entertainment. Mr. Frank Suggs, another student at S.C.C., was the Master of Ceremonies. —Linita Freeman INTRAMURALS "The key tosuccess inintramual sports at S.C.C. depends on the involvemait of students, forfeit of time, and faculty participation,” stated Barry Nation, English instructor.
