Support Little League
We offer our congratulations to
the sponsors and supporters of the
Little League baseball teams which
opened their summer session here
on Monday with some 150 boys out
for play.
This, we think, is organized play
at its best, giving small boys whole
some activity while teaching good
sportsmanship, the need for cooper
ation, and the importance of get
ting along with their comrades, and
a sense of belonging.
Like most good things, Little
League play here just didn't hap
pen: back of it has been good plan
ning, a sense of dedication to youth,
and much hard work. A number of
adults, who could otherwise be em
ployed, are giving their spare time,
and sometime more, day after day to
keep the Little League functioning.
They are serving as coaches, um
pires, managers, with their only
reward being the consciousness that
they are working for the develop
ment of youth and their principal
happiness being close association
with a fine group of young boys.
There are ot?.er adults in the
town and surrounding area who are
unable to give of their time, but
who have given of their means,
in many cases providing uniforms
for an entire team, and giving their
moral support as well as their fi
nancial support to a community
effort. So long as this spirit exists
here there is hope for Warrenton
and Warren County.
We hope that the general public
will support the Little League by
attending as many of the games as
possible, Many may be surprised
at the fun they will have; but of more
importance, their attendance gives
young boys in their formative years
a sense of approval and of being
an important part of their com
munity, very important elements in
character building.
This Bill Offers Little
A news article reaching our desk
on Tuesday morning announced that
Appalachian Teachers College was
applying for university status under
the regional university bill being de
bated this week in the General
Assembly. Should the bill be enacted
a number of other colleges iu the
State, including East Carolina Col
lege, are expected to ask for such
status.
Under the bill the schools would
be restricted from awarding doc
torates, and would serve for a
five-year trial period under this
restriction. Admittedly, the bill is a
political expediency and in truth it
seems to us that it offers little in
the true meaning of a real univer
sity.
Our small office dictionary gives
the following definition of a uni
versity: "Institute of learning of the
grade. A university usually has
schools of law, medicine, teaching,
business, etc., and in the United
States colleges for general instruc
tion as well.''
Giving East Carolina College and
Appalachian Teachers College, both
fine colleges, the name university
is not going to give them "the
schools of law, medicine, teaching,
business, etc.," or the large library
and prestige faculty associated with
and a part of a time university.
Neither is it likely that the name
alone will attract grants for re
search in a school without facilities
for research. Most of the grants
made to colleges in the United States
Carolina, but at every true univer
sity, is repugnant to many who feel
that students should be under strict
discipline, and that they should be
taught only the "right ideas." But, as
the Encyclopedia Britannica says:
"In certain places . . . emphasis is
given to the idea that coUege study is dis
ciplinary, requiring definite, but not uniform
methods, and a certain deference to the
authority of a master; while university train
ing is much freer, and the scholar is
encouraged to Inquire rather than accept;
to test and observe rather than to hear and
recite; to walk with a friendly guide rather
than to obey a commander. This distinction
is not universally recognized ... So that
older men are often heard asking, "What Is
the difference between a college and a uni
versity?" But generally It is admitted that
college training is one thing, and work in a
university is another."

In Memoriam
In loving memory of our
dear daddy, Robert Holt

God entered our home that
day
When we were not watching

He called our daddy away
To rest in Heaven with Thee.
It Is so hard to understand
Just why these things must be.
We know we will meet again
some day
When we are called by Thee.
We'll be your sweet girls
You kissed good-bye that day.
You went to work-we wen? to'
school
Then your life was taken away.
You always did so much for
us.
You wanted your girls to have
the best.
When we asked you to play
with us,
You did altho you needed rest.
Oh I Daddy our home is broken
We know you are happy up
there.
Where your big smile is smil
ing,
And your sweet voice fills the
air.
You were that kind of person
It is so wonderful to know.
We miss you and shed our
tears
Dear Daddy as each day comes
"and goes.
rne aowers on your grave our
Daddy
Will wither and decay.
But the love we hold for you,
Will never fade away.
Sleep peacefully dear Daddy,
Ohl It Is Joy to breathe your
name.
In life we loved you oh so much
In death we do the same.
This is not the end, dear
Daddy
There is more that we could
say,
We will always remember and
love you,
And now it is Happy Father's
Day.

In Memoriam
FATHER'S DAY
In honor of Father, who left
us the 23rd of April, 1967.
WE ARE NEVER ALONE
Sometime everything goes
wrong,
No matter what we do,
And the sky's so dark above
113
Not a ray of sun comes
through;
That's when most of us re
member
Something that we have always
known
There is one Friend who never
leaves us
To endure it all alone;
One who helps us bear our
burdens,
One who listens when we pray
And gently leads us 'till we
reach
A brighter, happier day.
We miss you, Daddy.
