, /'"'N TARHEEL —Ol N WmL' m\E^ ! BY A,J. TURNER The W inton and Ahoskie areas have l>een very Interesting to me, as I have had the pleasure of working in these areas for a few days. On my way down, I stopped by to say hello to the Faisons, Broadnaxes and Ma jettes, who are very loyal mem bers of Elkdom. Jack was busy, as usual, improving his funeral home; his lovely wife found her way there when she left school to give him a hand with the of fice work. I was informed by Brother Broadnax and Brother Faison that they were break ing ground to enlarge the Elks headquarters in Seaboard. Mrs. Majette stated that the daugh ters in the area were very ex cited about the Shrine and the upcoming mid-winter con ference, which is to bo held there November 13-14. Brother J. 1.. Faulcon, the Eastern representative for the Shrine, visited with me while I was working in the area and gave a very fine account 01 what is going on in that district. He stated that the National Conven tion held in New Orleans, La., was the best one he has ever attended. Among those attending from the Ahoskie area were: J. L. Faulcon, Howard Hunter, Dr. Weaver, Gerald Tyree and Mr. and Mrs. Yeates. I was very happy to see mv old friend, Bro. Will (Bill) Brown who has been on the sick list for some time and is now showing signs of improvement. Those of you who know Will Brown, know that he had to be sick when he didn’t make the state meeting, which was held in Asheville the first week in May. His lovely wife, Mrs. Su san R. Brown, is seeing to it that he has all of the necessary comforts to keep him in high spirits. Then, of course, the Grand Exalted Ruler, Hobson R. Reynolds, was in the city when I left, having a meeting with some of his top-flight of ficials at the Shrine during the weekend. The Grand Exalted Ruler had the highest praises for the sup port that the National Shrine is getting from the members on a volunteer basis, I am sure you will be glad to hear that Exalted Ruler Levi High of Twin City Lodge in Rocky Mount is improving. I stopped in and had a fine chat with him Mon day. He has had a rough time with arthritis recently, but he is still out there fighting with that bulldog tenacity. Speaking of the sick and shut in, 1 am sure it will be a great relief to the friends and pa tients of Dr. N. L. Perry to heat* that he is resting better today. We are hoping for him speedy recovery. msi our Expert# TmES „ • BATTERIES Keep Your Car M /w • AUTO ACCESSORIES /y\\ * n Te * > Saapet ® washing /vA. • LUBRICATION OFFICIAL Licensed In sST Credit Cards Honored DUNN’S fSSO SERVICENTER See Us For Complete Car Care!

I have Just hung up the phone after a very delightful conver sation with my old friend Wiley (Bull) Latham, Sr., who has been on the sick list for some time. It is really remarkable how cheerful he is after being in so long and all of us know that ‘Bull* was strictly an outdoors man. He is very excited over the newcomer in the family. His son, Wiley, Jr. and wife are the proud parents of a three-week-old daughter, I was by to see Charlie Sat urday evening; he is still smil ing, that means the Meadow brook boys are still ringing the cash register. On my way down East last week, I stopped In to say hello to an old Raleighite, Mrs. Marie P. Daniels, in Wel don. She was, as usual, gracious to her old homie. She told me about the very pleasant summer she spent in Freeport and some of the other islands. She said regardless of where she goes, she will claim Raleigh as home. I must stop now so Ted and I can have our five-minute con ference, as he just returned from New York and Washing ton Sunday night, and I will be going to Washington for an ex hibit tomorrow. Read your CAROLINIAN. See you next week. Kittrell College Using The "Systems Approach” KITTRELL - The cry for ac countability is resounding throughout the academic world. And Kittrell College, Kittreli, N.C. is answering that cry with the “Systems Approach” to In struction. Kittrell College, an indepen dent 84 year old predominant ly black two year institution with 600 students, converted it’s en tire curriculum to the Systems Approach in the fall of 1968 by a vote "of the students, faculty, and board of trustees. Kittrell College is located 35 miles north of Raleigh, and 10 miles south of Henderson. Larnie G. Horton, president of Kittrell, said "Under the Sys tems Approach, responsibility for student learning is placed squarely on the shoulders of the teachers.” Kittrell College defines teach ing as “causing learning.” Learning, in turn, Is defined as a change in behavlor--learn ing enables students to behave in ways that were not possi ble before teaching took place. Consequently, If no measurable evidence of learning can be shown it can be inferred that Negro Delegation Tours Soviet Capital BY RON ELLER BE Guest Columnist The sun was bright as it shined throne-h our window and we awakened to the hustle and bustle of the Russian citizenry. The hotel, Ukraine, is one of Moscow’s biggest tourist res idence and is over 550 ft, high It contains 1000 rooms, ” a number of restaurants, a ban ouet hall and winter warden. This was the first full day of NEGRO's People to People Goodwill tour of the Soviet Union. Our predominantly black delegation rose early, dressed and took the crowded elevator down to the hotel’s east restaruarit. We were all hungry and I looked forward to eatingarness of pancakes, grits, eggs, bacon and home fried potatoes. Our first course was composed of a roll twist with butter and jelly, and our second course con sisted of a scrambled egg and a hot' cup of tea or coffee, I never saw the pancakes, bacon, hash browns or grits and resolved myself of the fact that I never will. After our hearty continental style break fast, we boarded our buses and began the first of three days of sightseeing. Moscow is a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde type city. It is im mense in size--sprawling over 12G miles. Once the ecclesiastic capital of ancient Russia and the home of the Russian autocracy, Moscow is the largest Soviet city and the capital of the Soviet no teaching has occured. To meet this responsibility all faculty members at the college are required to organize their courses Into systematic, self instructional units. Each unit has clearly stated behavioral objectives that tell the student what he has to learn before he can complete the course. All courses at Kittrell, If not yet completely self-instruc tional, now have some selff Instructional units. The units employ a variety of learning styles -- tapes, film strips, small discussion groups etc., giving students some choice on how they learn. The Instructional units break down course work Into a series of small, carefully sequenced steps. Students can progress at their own rate, free from the. lock-step pace of the lec ture method. The behavioral objectives In cluded In the units are measur able, and the yard-stick by which to judge whether or not learn ing took place. Another aspect of traditional education which has been changed at Kittrell is the usual punitive grading system which penalizes students for failing to learn In a prescribed period of time. President Horton believes. "The student’s motivation can be enhanced by eliminating failures and incompletes from his record.” At Kittrell, the grades *’D” anci “F” have been eliminated. Instead, the grade report shows the student receives no credit, but is progressing (NCP), or simply, (NC), no credit, but even this does not go on the student’s transcript. ‘‘Kittrell wants to make learn ing exciting, we want to make being <n a classroom an ex citing experience,’’ said Nor man C. Camp 111, Dean of Aca demic Affairs. Since the Systems Approach came into being on Klttrell’s campus, there has been a sharp decrease in the drop-out rate between semesters. Mrs. Katrena B. Horton, Re gistrar and Direction of Admis sions at the college credits the Systems Approach with lower ing the drop-out rate. "The students are more Interested in what they are doing,’’ she said. “Students today like to do things the way they want to do things, the Systems Approach has come at a very good time. In the words of Dean Camp, "The whole idea Is to develop an in stitution that cares about de signing an academic program that gets good results In stu dent learning, and that cares about teachers who teach to cause learning.” Approximately 600 freshman and sophomore students are ex pected to enroll at Kittrell Col lege for the 1971-1972 academic year. The present enrollment figures show an Increase of 58 to 60 percent over the 1970- 1971 academic year. Last year’s enrollment figures were 216 freshmen and 164 sopho mores. President Horton, said, “first semester enrollment figures are very encouraging and we anti cipate continuous growth.” Since the appointment of Pre sident Horton In 1966, Kittrell College has experienced wide spread, growth to every aspect of higher education. to 1958, Klttrell’s enrollment was 103. In 1964, the enroll ment at the College increased to 180 students. Enrollment decreased to 182 In 1668 and jumped to another . increase to- Union. As we- toured the city we found a blend of both the old and new. The wide boulevards come together in the center of the city at Red Square—creating a most impressive spectacle of gold shaped domes, majestic towers, and the strong timbers of the Kremlin wall, once a fortress for Russian nobility. Our bus passed the old women sweeping the streets In their tattered clothes. Their brooms were made of straw as they reminded me of the magical brooms which witches are noted to ride at midnight. The purpose of the tour was to familiarize us with the city and its many historic attrac tions. While on the tour we saw the Bolshoi Theatre, Pushken Square, the Moscow Theatre and the Moscow State Univer sity, That afternoon, after lunch, which was alot more filling than breakfast, we visited Tretyakov Art Gallery and saw the price less collection of Russian icons and eleventh century mosaics.

With increasing enrollment, faculty and facilities, Kittrell will undoubtedly become one of the largest and best junior col leges to bloom in this decade. * * # More than 800 Spanish speaking interviewers and counselors now work in local Employment Service offices.

PREGNANCY PLANNING AND HEALTH BY GLORIA RIGGSBEE Dear Gloria: There are several questions I’d like to have answered: (1) Can a girl be pregnant and still have her periods? (2) Can a girl get pregnant if she has sex during her period, or the day after her period? (3) Do a girl and boy have to climax at the same time in order for the girl to get pregnant? (4) What are the signs and symptoms of preg nacy? S.P. Dear S.P.: Thank you for your letter. I’ll be happy to answer your questions. (1) It is not uncommon for women to have a period or two after they have l come preg nant. Sometimes these periods are not as heavy as the wo man’s usual ones, and they are not necessarily regular. Some times women experience what is called “spotting”—or passing of blood, but not enough to be called a period, after they have become pregnant. In a small number of cases monthly bleed ing continues throughout preg nancy. (2) A woman can become preg nant during her period or right after her period, although this does not happen very often. Any woman who does not want to become pregnant should use a birth control method EVERY TIME she has sex—even during her period. (3) A man and a woman de finitely do NOT have to cli max at the same time in order for the woman to become preg nant. Whether or not a woman has a climax has nothing to do with her getting pregnant. Many women never have climaxes and they become pregnant just as often as women who have one every time. (4) The signs of pregnancy are a missed menstrual period; nau sea and vomiting, particularly in the morning; breast tender ness and tingling; frequent and sudden urges to urinate; con stipation; fatigue; a white vaginal discharge. Let me know if you have any more questions. * * * Dear Mrs. Rlggsfoee: I have beers reading your column for two years now and you seem to give good advice to other®, so I’m asking you to help me. I have been go ing with my boy friend for ttorse As we climbed the subway stairs to the street, we were impressed by the beauty and efficiency of their rapid metro system, jokingly, we exclaimed the solution to New York’s sub way transportation problems. All they need ts a little culture to start running on time. As we looked back over the last three days of sightseeing, there was one piece of irony that continued to stick in my mind. How can a government which proclaims itself as the defender against materialism and capitalism, lie in the midst of all of this splendor and still boast of being the so still boast of being the world’s so-called first workers and peasants state? * * * About a fourth of all employ ed women are in five occupa tions, the Bureau of labor Sta tistics reports. The occupations are: Secretary-stenographer, household worker, bookkeep er, elementary school teacher and waitress. Secretary and stenographer jobs alone account for 1 of every 10 women work ers. years. Last summer he asked me to marry him and we planned our marriage for this October. We started having relations right after he proposed, and I love him more now than I did when I first knew him. He says he loves me very much too, but the trouble is he w’ants me to get pregnant before we get married. I haven’t used birth control, but I still don’t get pregnant. Now he’s afraid that I can’t have children. I went to see my doctor twice and each time he told me there wasn't anything wrong with me. The doctor said my boy friend should come to see him, but he won’t. He says he is healthy and the trouble is with me. Mrs. Rlggsbee, I’m afraid I'll lose him if I don’t get preg nant soon. Do you know an) doctor I could go to? Please answer me as soon as possible so I’ll know what to do. S.L.C. Dear S.L.C.: One of the first things you should consider doing Is start looking for another boyfriend. If this fellow loves you as much as he says he does, he would •not ask you to get pregnant before you are married. Most couples realize that marriage is quite an adjustment and that they need a few years together before they shou’d consider hav ing children. Your boyfriend is being very unfair to you and to the child you might have. Even If you did become pregnant, are you sure he’d marry you? If he didn’t would you be prepared to house, feed, support and edu cate the child by yourself? Unless your boyfriend has fa thered a child before, how can he be so certain that it's not his fault you haven’t become pregnant. At least 40% of the time the fault Is with the man and not the woman. You need to ask your boyfriend a few questions about this. If this fellow is this unfair to you before you are married, he Is very apt to be even more unfair after you are married. Why don’t you talk all this over with him very carefully, and If he refuses to see your point of view, find another boyfriend. * * * Address letters and requests for a free booklet on birth con trol to: Mrs. Gloria Rlggsbee, 214 Cameron Avenue, Chapel HUI, North Carolina, 27814.

Black Communitty College Seeking Male Students NEW YORK - Malcolm King College, a new hope for Black dropouts who had despaired of earning a college diploma, has not succeed in attracting Black men, an official of the school has said. “It’s almost a total female student body,” conceded Mat tie Cook, Administrative Di rector of the innovative college. “And we’re not happy about that,’’ she added. Mrs. Cook, in a copyrighted interview in the current is sue of Essence magazine, ex plained, “We are very concern ed about the Black male - we’re not getting as many as we would like. “We want him in our school. We"feel that he needs that ed ucation We recognize this as being one of our big problems and we definitely want to see something done about it,’’ she said. The new’ college - attempts to make college work more at tractive to Black dropouts In a number of new ways, Mrs. Cook says. “All our classes are In the evening since almost all of our students are family people who work during the day and have other responsibilities, Also, tuition is free.” She continued, “The classes are in the community which Is, again, terribly important - and ’safe,’ Many very bright, high ly motivated students have fail ed because they have had to go off to ’alien’ campuses outside of the community, and not only deal with all the problems of learning and having a good learning experience, but also We’ve come a long way...
