PAGE 1 THE TWIG OCTOBER n. 1972 THE TWIG MEREVJTH COLLEGE National Exam Rules Changed BVC SPEAKS OUT This week I have invited Ms. Renee Lindsey, Feature Edi tor, to present to faculty, administration, and students, a very important aspect of life at Meredith in the form of the editorial for the week. JFS Dear Students and Faculty, The members of the BVU, Black Voices in Unity, want you to know about us. We are a new organization on campus who have in our considerations a very special function here at Meredith. The name of the club implies two Important concepts upon which this organization is built. First, the members are pre sently only black students. Black students organized this club and have worked hard to make our Intentions known. Secondly, unity implies that we are together in a kinship that will enable us to grow and expand into a purposeful society. Our constitu tion states that “the purpose of this organization shall be to expand Black identity on campus, to work with the administra tion to recruit other Black students, and to make suggestions that will benefit the entire Meredith Community, to provide a medium for Black culture programs.” One major function of higher learning is to educate and ex pose students to new ideas, concepts, and cultures, America is a melting-pot of different cultural contributions. Blacks have always been educated in other cultures so that we know about them. However, we do not know much about ourselves as does no one else know of our contributions to the world’s unity. We want students to become aware of famous black writers, painters, and musicians. We want you to learn more of black inventors and explorers who received little or no credit for their work. Let us black students share our ideas, ideals, hopes, and knowledge with you. Membership is open to everyone. We do not want curiosity seekers but students who understand the black cultyre and will help us in our pursuits. Please join if you’re sincerely interest ed, Renee Lindsey Youth Fare (ione? While nine million college students are returning to cam pus, the Civil Aeronautics Board is wondering when to break the news of their de cision. In January, 1968, CAB ex aminer Arthur S, Present rul ed that discount fares limited to persons 12 to 21 years old are “unjustly discrimina tory” because age alone isn’t a valid distinction between passengers. Shortly there after, Mr. Present receiv ed mall from college students by the sack load. Their ex pression of opinion was so overwhelming that the CAB ruled that airline youth fare discounts don’t unjustly dis criminate against adults. The board put off any decision on a petition to abolish the dis counts a study of whether the fares were reasonable in re lation to carrier costs was completed. After four years of study, the CAB planned to make an announcement of their deci sion in August, an official stated. Sources at several air lines agree the announcement will probably be delayed un til after the November elec tions. They concur that chances for the fare to con tinue look bleak. Originally youth fares were challenged by National Trail- ways Bus System, a trade as sociation of bus companies, and by TCO Industries, Inc., formerly Transcontinental Bus System, Inc. U. S. Airlines were split on the issue during the exam iner’s investigation; 14 of the carriers offering youth dis counts supported them and 10 opposed them or didn’t take a position. It is interesting to note the delayed announcement of the CAB decision comes in the first election year allowing youth to vote at age 18. Such news might play an important part in the elections , Psychology Department To Sponsor Films SUBJECT LOCATION DATES AND TIMES COMMENTS The Sensory 103 Monday, October 16 World Joyner 3;00 p.m. 5:30 p.m. 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, October 17 8:00 a,m. 11:00 a. m.

On August 10, 1972, the State Board of Education a- dopted the following resolution changing the National Teacher Examination regulations: “All NTE regulations be yond the initial entry level into the teaching profession are deleted effective July 1, 1972.” The adoption of this resolu tion makes a significant change in the application of National Teacher Examination scores for certification pur poses. Many records now on file in the Certification Office will need to be changed as a result of this resolution. Some of the changes we will be able to effect based on a review of our records. Other changes can be made only when an individual’s record has been referred to this office for a review. We will appreciate your taking a close look at the records for teachers and ad ministrators in your unit and letting us know those that you feel will be immediately af fected by this change so that we can take appropriate action to update the certificates in volved, I am outlining below some typical situations that may ex ist: (1) RAISING CERTIFICATES TO A HIGHER LEVEL. An LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: I do not usually like to com plain about things — in fact, this is the first letter I have written to THE TWIG, but I just get really burned up when I go over to MY gym to swim in MY pool on MY campus and can’t get in because a lot of high schoolers are on campus. And this isn’t the first time. Quite often the students on this campus are denied the facilities of our campus,which are ours by right of being students here, because some one else happens to be on cam pus. Now I’m not beefing about on-campus events like Inauguration and Founder’s Day. Sure we are inconven ienced some, but we’re a part of that and not just being shut out. I’m sure that most of the students don’t mind sharing our campus with others. I am proud of it; I think it is a love ly campus but it is ours and I think that too often the ad ministration forgets this. The College should belong to the students not to the whole city of Raleigh! CS individual who holds a clear teaching certificate (Class B level or above), who has met all other requirements for the is suance of a higher class cer tificate, may be issued such certificate without regard to NTE scores. For instance, if a person completed the mas ter’s degree in 1968, but did not have the minimum NTE score, but has met all other requirements for a graduate level certificate, this certi ficate may now be issued. (2) EXPANDING CERTIFI CATES AT THE SAME LEVEL A person who holds a clear certificate and wishes to add to that certificate or convert the certificate to another level may make this type of change without regard to NTE scores. For instance, the secondary social studies teacher who wishes to convert to the inter mediate certificate by meet ing the credit requirements but does not have to meet NTE score requirements, (3) RECIPROCITY FOR EX PERIENCED TEACHERS. In dividuals who have had teach ing experience in other states who apply to North Carolina for the first time may be is sued a certificate in North Carolina if they meet all credit requirements without regard to NTE scores. This expands the State’s practices in re ciprocity so that NTE scores are no longer required for ex perienced teachers, (4) INITIAL CERTIFICATION FOR TEACHERS WITHOUT EXPERIENCE. The individual who applies for certification for the first time, whether his preparation was in-state or out-of-state, who has not had teaching experience must satisfy the NTE score re quirements at the initial entry level. These requirements consist of a composite score of 950 on the National Teach er Examinations. If there is no teaching area score in the area for which the applicant is applying, the weighted com mon examinations score of 475 will apply. (5) STATUS OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED PERMITS. The revis ed NTE regulations will not affect those individuals who have been issued permits at the Class A level or below who have not met the minimum entry level score of 950. Per mits that were in effect for the 1971-72 school year have been converted to non standard. Permits which were convert ed to nonstandard previously will remain at the nonstandard level. In addition to the revised regulations discussed above, the Board adopted the follow- issue. Articles may be brought to the new TWIG office on the first floor of the S tudent Union, EDITOR’S ANNOUNCEMENTS 1. THE TWIG apologizes to day students for the mix-up on where to pick up copies. From now on, day students may pick up THE TWIG in the receptionist’s office. 2. All letters to the editor must be signed. Names will be withheld and Initials giv en if so requested. The right to edit is reserved by the staff. 3. Any contributions to THE TTVIG must be turned in by Fridays at noon if expected to be published in the next ing resolution: “The Ad Hoc Committee of the State Board’s Advisory Council on Teacher Educa tion is hereby instructed to complete with due dispatch its study of an instrument of evaluation to be used for initial entry into the teach ing profession. The recom mendations of the Commit tee are to be submitted to the members of the State Board of Education at least twenty (20) days prior to the December, 1972, meeting of the Board.” We will be glad to try to clear up specific questions relative to Individuals if you or the individual will call them to our attention. Mars Hill To Hold Music Festival Banjos, fiddles, guitars will ring out with the strains of “Sourwood Mountain” and “Cripple Creek” here on the Mars Hill College campus Sat urday, Oct. 14, during a ser ies of events billed as a “mountain music holiday.” The Baptist college, along with a local Civitan club and community crafts coopera tive, have invited all “moun tain musicians and mountain music aficionadoes,” ac cording to a display poster, to the campus for all day jam sessions, crafts demonstra tions and the fifth annual “Bascom Lamar Lunsford’s Minstrel of the Appalachians” mountain music festival.
