A lot of people would
say that Bob Priest is the
little man that walks
around the lounge all day
with the little pipe and cup
of coffee. Bob Priest is the
head of student activities
and student government.
Priest is the man who sets
up all your dances,
cookouts and discoes.
Right now he is engaged
in getting students ready
for S.G.A. elections.
Bob Priest is a coun
selor, not a college
counselor, but if you ever
have a problem or
discomfort in mind pay
Mr. Priest a visit. I’m
quite sure that you will
enjoy it. Dr. Moore feels
that Bob Priest has
brought about many
changes in our student
activity program.
Especially in getting
students involved in many
activities, and in taking
pride in the lounge. Thank
you Bob Priest for the fine
job that you are doing.

magazine shelves in the
Library. Keep in mind
that periodicals are not to
be checked out of the
Library, but there is a
copy machine available.
The charge is 10 cent per
page.
The audio-visual
collection has grown this
year too. Come to the
Media Room and ask
someone to help you use
the equipment there.
Maybe you would like to
see a presentation on
“Religion: The New
Directions,” “Consumer
Math,” “Child Abuse,”
“Weather in the
Wilderness,” “Presenting
William Shakespeare,”
“The American Indian,”
“Computers and Human
Society,” “Dirty
Politics,” “What Does it
Mean to be Human,” or
“Woman: Her Future in
the Community College.”
These are just a few of the
new kits available - there
are over 500 kits all
together!
Hopefully, everyone
knows that the SCC
Library is open to the
public. Students and
faculty use their ID for a
library card (be sure to
bring it in with you!), and
people from the com
munity can get a special
library card at the cir
culation desk and it is
free.

SCC Basketball
The Rams basketball team
tied for 1st place in the regular
NCCCAC season. This called for
a coin flip to determine the
pairings for the tournament.
S.C.C. lost the coin toss and was
forced to play on the road.
In the first game Southeastern
defeated Lenoir Community
College by two points. This
pitted the Rams against Durham
College. The Rams traveled to
Durham and played a good
game against a Durham team
that had all the odds in their
favor. The officiating left a lot to
be desired and S.C.C. came out
on the short end of the score.
Southeastern protested the
game because of non certified
officials that were used. After
an investigation by the league,
S.C.C.’s protest was upheld and
the Rams were declared tour
nament champions.
This pitted S.C.C. In the
Region X tournament against
Louisburg College, a team that
had defeated Southeastern by 25
points in an previous game.
S.C.C. played a good game and
beat Louisburg. Southeastern
then had to play Anderson
College of South Carolina. The
Trojans again ended S.C.C.’s
season by a score of 107 to 89.
Southeastern finished the season
with a fine 18-7 record, with
Robert Miles being named to the
Region X team.

A new feature column will be
presently for the enjoyment and
reading pleasure of the students
on campus. I will try to convey
over to you general in
formation, commentaries, and
the happenings in the everyday
world.
Any announcements,
suggestions, or anything news
worthy about campus life and off
campus are gladly welcome.
You can address notices to me in
the mailbox. Thank you.
Here is a writing about that
special person;
Across the Miles
Sitting here thinking of you
About the good times and the
bad
The happy and the sad
Missing you.
I don’t really know what to do
Your face—
A vivid picture in my mind
Wishing you were here or,
I there with you
The sweet smell of a passing
cologne
In your arms so tender but oh
so strong
To caress and smother me
With an imprint that will last
forever and a day
Your lips to kiss me softly,
deeply and dear
For you to show me.
That you love me in the
smallest and greatest of ways
Whispering gently in my ear
Words romantically spoken
only for me to hear
Lifting my mind, body and
soul
To great heights of emotional
fire
Letting me know - that there is
a beginning but no end
And thrilling me with such
desire...
Across the miles, I reach out
and touch
Touching you with my heart
and love that is...
Not enough
—I may be a foolish dreamer
but someone is waiting for me
when I,
And only I return.
Self-awareness
There has been a great
awakening in the 70’s toward
improvement for our inner self,
respecting the next man clim
bing the ladder, and straying
away from continuous arguing
among our own people, blacks in
America.
People changed with the times
because if you were a “high -
yellow” as they would put it, you
were on top of the heap, similar
to the bit part in the movie
“Cooley High”, where the young
girl stood out in the crowd, every
guy vied for her affection;
therefore, if you were blacker
than blue you had to get tock
and come behind ’em wagging a
tail. Also, if you had your hair
nappy, kinky, curly, or even so
far as to have it “knotty,”
everyone thought it was about
time you got in there; washed,
slapp^ some "grease” on it and
fried, that stuff. But, today it’s
the al natural’ or whatever look
appeals to you and your moods
and dress.
A most drastic change to come
about is calling someone
“nigger" which is used both
among ourselves and whites.
Today, the word does not have
such a caustic reaction, and is
used very loosely and with un
dertones. But don’t ever think its
wiped out because it isn’t, it’s
still remains.
Now, Black is beautiful and
everything is everything.
Satirical as it may seem, it is
factual and a closed mind on any
given subject is something we
can do without.
But let us not forget that
blacks have contributed greatly
to America, and have advanced
businessly, financially, socially
and politically.
Congratulations

To the students at
S.C.C.: The students of
RAM’S HORN would like
to thank you for your
cooperation in trying to
keep our lounge at its
best. I have been looking
over the lounge, and I
have seen a lot of im
provement lately.
Also, I have seen Mr.
Bob Priest walking
around in the lounge, and
the smile on his face
really must mean that we
are doing a good job. So
let’s keep the good work
^p and a smile on Mr.
Priest’s face.
