ADVISOR Mr. John U. Tate. Exchange News By Theresa Stanley “The Red and Black” of the Uni versity of Georgia reported the views of Joe Higdon, a recent Peace Corps volunteer. Mr. Higdon commented, “The Peace Corps taught me to look at America differently. It broadened my prospective in that I was no long er a member of a single town, state or even one nation. I had a chance to measure my values against a com pletely different set of standards.” “The Ring-turn Phi” of Washing ton and Lee University reported that a three-man art showing was being presented by professors John Balla- tor, Lewis Thompson, and Charles Forsythe of the Art Department at I lollins College. Chris Schrenk, Furman University exchange student, reported after re turning from Germany that German students are more mature than American students.

Letter To The Editor By Nancy Johnson TO: The Editor Paul Quinn College is a Negro church college here in Waco. (It is integrated formally, but “Whites” have not come.) We have been able to build a new library that will hold 50,000 books; we only have 14,000 books to go in it. Most of the shelves therefore are bare. The students are having to struggle up from preparatory school ing that, in many cases, was not rigorous enough. The trustees of the college want to start a drive to get good, current college books and text books into our library, and they have designated me to find ways to get these books. Exam week at St. Mary’s was sad not only on account of exams but also because Mr. Rowe left St. Mary’s. He has been transferred to a college in Tennessee. Mr. Rowe has been a familiar figure on campus for two and a half years. He was the SAGA Food Sert'ice director at St. Mary’s. Mr. Rowe always wanted to please the girls here, and he certainly did a good job of it. Everyone looked for ward to meals, and dieters had a diffi cult time by-passing tempting good ies. Moreover, he really combatted homesickness by having meals “just like Mom’s.” It occurred to us, during a recent board meeting, that many of the col lege students use their books and then don’t want to keep some of them, but really can’t get what they’re worth in selling them back to the book stores, and that perhaps many of these students would like the idea of giving such books to the library at Paul Quinn. Perhaps also, in some cases, college bookstores in your State would find it feasible to ship spare quantities of good, cur rent, college-level books to the library here rather than returning them somewhere to be remaindered or abandoned. Holiday eves were always synony mous with banquets at St. Alary’s. Candlelight, ice carvings and festive decorations added to the gaiety of the feasts. Furthermore, studying for exams became a little less gloomy with the thought of coffee and do nuts at 9:30 every night. The “old girls” have described to the “new girls” in detail the Plantation Break fast Mr. Rowe gave last spring. Ev eryone had to get up early for this occasion! St. Mary s is sorry to see Mr. Rowe leave, and everyone will certainly miss him, but they are proud of his new promotion. The students’ gift, a golf umbrella, was just a small way of saying, “Thank you, Mr. Rowe”. This is as far as our thinking has gone on this. All I am really sure of is, that the students who come to the library at Paul Quinn ought to be able to choose from among shelves that are full of good books. We know you will seriously con sider this appeal for books for the students’ use at Paul Quinn. Books may be shipped EXPRESS-COL LECT to: Mrs. Delores Harris, Li brarian, Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas '76704. Semester Rreah; Snowed In! mented that German LIniversities are parallel to American graduate schools! Whether the period following exams should be called exam break or the great escape has not been de termined and probably never will be. The girls of St. Mary’s fled the post exam slump traveling by plane, by train, by car, and some desperate souls fled on foot. After making their great escape, some girls braved the wind and sleet to go to Carolina and Duke for rush parties. Girls who rushed at Carolina were Molly Richardson, V^ee Smith, (Continued on Page 4) FOCUS N. C. VOLUNTEERS By Hettie Johnson Last fall a new group was otg ized here at St. Mary’s, a chapter' the North Carolina Volunteers. >'■ Volunteers are college students '' contribute some of their spare tirnf helping in libraries, study halls, reational centers, tutorial progr* and other programs organized j people living in low income hous* projects or other areas which do offer such facilities. The group*’ Volunteers here consists of appt* mately twenty students from , junior and senior classes. Mr. J“ Tate is the sponsor and advisor ^ the groups. ( The first project of St. Mary’s 'j unteers is a tutorial program at O’Kelly School, an elementary sd> in Method, North Carolina, girl works one hour a week child from the school who has as*;) for help in her studies. The chil^ participating range in age from s^ to fifteen years. Another similar t gram being planned for second t mester will involve children liviut one of Raleigh’s housing projects;! The purpose of the tutoring e sions is not only to help the child'i with their immediate school P*s lems, but also to help them uU'C stand why they are having troto with their studies and to stim^v their interest in education. TutorD told that their attitude toward n child they are working with important as the help they gh'®,*' child in her school work. Persona VI terest and encouragement, the unteers believe, are important fa*" in a child’s academic success. The North Carolina Fund sponsored The North Carolina in unteers in summer programs for‘> — - lilt past two years. Students who '' to volunteer their vacations are * to work in poor neighborhoods ing in such areas as rural sanita*' health education, recreation ' adult education. This opportuniP'j as are the winter programs, a I J ficial one for the college stua|j who is able to learn whether a in public service areas or educaL is the right one for her.
