Hardiso Tutorial Program At Villa Heights School Makes For Weak Knees By BARBARA SUE JAMES Journal Feature Editor Thirty-five little faces inad vertently turn up at the first friendly note they detect in their new tutor’s voice. Many of them narrow their glinting eyes into blade-like slits and assume an expression that signals they are sizing you up. Some lean forward in their multi- scarred desks so eager that their desks wobble precariously. Oth ers slouch low on their tail bones. They seem insulated by their own thoughts and are usually dragging a pencil across some paper while they try to portray Batman or Crusader Rabbit ar tistically. This is your first day as tutor at Villa Heights Elementary School. Your knees may feel like wilted asparagus tips but, by grannie, you’re determined these sixth grade kids aren’t going to know it. Because, while you’re trying to determine your recep tion into their lives, you remem ber they are likewise evaluating you. The p 0 p u 1 a tion of Villa Heights is widely diversified. It ranges from some of the most economically deprived areas in Charlotte to some quite well-to- do sections. Such a hodge-podge is hard to visualize until you mingle with these kids. Due to limited experience rath er than lack of intelligence, some of these little tykes have come up with extremely low I.Q.’s. Yet sitting next to a child with a low I.Q. could very well be a child with the I.Q. of 145 to 165. Added to this strain is the fact that Villa Heights is approxi mately one-third Negro. Even the tiniest tots are aware of these acute social differences, but the school functions extremely effi ciently due to the expert guid ance of the principal, Mr. Ralph F. Cline, and the crew of unusually patient teachers. What, you keep asking yourself. See Tutorial, Page 2, Col. 3. Chancellors Present New Speaker Rules 1st Forum Big Success Gov. Dan K. Moore opened a highly successful forum focused on ‘"The University and the Development of the Modern City” last Wednesday here praising both the school and its head. Dr. Bonnie Cone. Moore, after opening the ses sion, gave way to prominent city planners and educators for the day-long lecture series. Following Moore was Dr. Noah Langdale, President of Georgia State College. Dr. Langdale told the audi ence that they must make a decision either to be a non caring parasite citizen or to be one always striving for the betterment of mankind. The choice, he said, must be the latter. He paid tribute to the Univer sity by saying this is the place known as “the University where the cement never sets.” Two afternoon speakers were Leo Molinaro and James W. Rouse. Molinaro, who is execu tive vice president of the West Philadelphia Corporation, spoke on the revitalization of cities. Rouse, president of Com munity Research and Develop ment Incorporated of Balti more, was the 6nal speaker. “You in Charlotte stand on the threshold of opportunity. Things See Forum, Page 3, Col. 5 A committee, to be called the Student-Faculty Committee on Visiting Speakers, is being formed on campus to process invitations issued to speakers covered by the amended speaker ban. ’The committee will be com posed of six members, three from the student body and three from the faculty. Student Fight ^Reds’ With Love The best way to fight com munism abroad is to make democracy work at home ac cording to the executive vice president of the National Confer ence of Christians and Jews. Dr. David Hyatt suggested this as a deterrent to communism in a talk before a packed room of student and facidty members in the Univ,eiBity Union Tuesday, March 1. Hyatt, drawing on his recent experience with the U.S. In formation Agency in Pakistan,, said he felt that foreigners understood the principles of American democracy “but they don’t believe we practice it. They ask, where’s the Ccmsti- tution and the Bill of Rights in Selma?” “How we handle our intergroup relations here, how we deM with our minority groups, may very well decide whether mil lions over there join the free world or succumb to the world of communism.” To convince other nations that See We’re, Page 3, Col. 5. members will be the President of the student body, chairman of the University Union Gov erning board, and the Presidient of the Senior Class.
