HERE'S A
Welcome, to the North Carolina Eight Hundred, the
elite of the state, the Class of '60! Yes, freshmen, your
names have been recorded in the social register, for
you are the fortunate ones who are making their debut
this fall into the field of higher education. You have
before you the oppportuniiy to learn. Now it is possible
for the state's daughters—that's you—to acquire an
education that will serve to enrich your lives. Man was
born with a mind, and is thereby capable of asking—and
sometimes answering—the really important questions,
"What Am I?", "What Am I Here For?", and "Where
Am I Going?".
But to do so the mind must be trained, must learn
how our predecessors have coped with these problems,
and must acquire experience in thinking. Not knowing
how to think or caring to learn has been the tragedy of
too many students. As Santayana has written, "Man is
primarily a mind that doesn't realize it".
And the primary purpose of this college is to develop
this mind. Extra curricular activities, gab sessions, and
the whole process of living are useful in achieving this
goal. But the principle means is studying, reading, listen,
ing to lectures, and exercising the brain by writing. If
this were not so there would be no colleges, only gram-mar
and technical schools where we can learn the skills
of feeding and clothing^ ourselves.
We at Woman's College are indeed fortunate to have
at our dispposal some of the best professors in the
South, a library rich with the intellectual heritage of
mankind, and an atmosphere that facilitates intensive
study.
Please take advantage oi these opportunities; try to
get to know yourself and your world; and study.

on Tuesday morning. Sept. 11, in
the Elliott Hall Ballroom. After
the Invocation, led by Donna Sny-der.
president of Inter-Palth
Council, Sadye welcomed the stu-dents
and faculty members pres-ent
and stated the purpose of the
conference. "Welcome, but what
are you doing here?" was the ques-tion
she posed to those who will
be leading the student activities.
She went on to say that here we
have the opportunity to realize
we are "Inside SGA" and lo de-cide
on our goals.
President Dunn continued by
stating that the number attend-ing
the conference is a compro-mise
designed to make it possible
for the vital committees and or-
Kanizatlons to work together.
In expounding this theme of co-operation
she related a parable
of a man who made two short
trips, one to hell and one to
heaven. In both he witnessed peo-ple
with giant forks straped to
their arm sitting before a mag-nificent
banquet table. The only
difference was that those In hell
were struggling in vain to get the
food to their mouth, while those
in heaven were peacefully feeding
each other. "We in student govern-ment,"
she concluded, "must also
reach out for the best, then give
it to others."
After making recognitions and
reading telegrams and notes of
well-wishes, Sadye Introduced
William Priday, acting president
of the Consolidated University of
North Carolina, who spoke on the
"SGA as Viewed by the Consoli-dated
University." President Pri-day
slated that there are two as-pects
of student government In
which the University Is deeply In-terested:
preservation of law and
order and citizenship training.
The first Is achieved through
learning self-discipline as embod-ied
in the honor system. The sec-ond,
citizenship training, prepares
us for life and Is acquired with
the experience gained In SGA. It
can be achieved, he continued,

She pointed out that this present
system Is the result of trial and
eiTor, that It Is not static, and
that It will continue to evolve. The
students, therefore, she emphasiz-ed,
must know the history of their
organization and realize the re-sponsibilities
and limitations of
their poslUons.
ConUnulng. Miss Anderton
warned that the motivating force
behind a student's activities in
SGA must not be his ego but sel-flessness,
and that the only true
living stick for Judging your-self
cannot be another human
but your God. In closing she chal-lenged
the students with "If you
don't know God, study him. This
will give WC the greatest leaders
ever."

This. President Friday concluded.
Is what makes "college life real
life. Student government Is a pro-cess
of living, not Just a prepara-tion."
The next speaker at the opening
session was W. W. Plerson. acting
chancellor of Women's College,
whose subject was "SGA as Viewed
by the Administration of the Wom-en's
College." Chancellor Plerson.
who has Just recently arrived here,
welcomed those present as "co-workers"
and stressed his need for
assistance from student govern-ment
in administration. He then
extended an Invitation to the stu-dents
to come to call at his office
that they might become acquaint-ed.
Continuing his speech the
Chancellor pointed out the SGA
will be copliw with a new phe-nomena
at WC this year—the
Inclusion of two Negro girls in the
student body. The outcome, he
pointed out. will depend on the
atltudes of the Negro students,
the white students, and the North
Carolina citizenry.
In closing. Chancellor Plerson
expressed the hope that this year
will be a successful one for SGA.
The final speaker of the morn-ing
was Mrs. Remus S. Turner, a
past president of SGA, who spoke
on 'SOA as Viewed by a Past In-sider."
She mentioned briefly a
number of practices established
as a consequence of Pearl Harbor
as well as some more lasting
changes on campus made in her
senior year. The most Important
of these, she stressed, was the es-tablishment
of the honor system.
After overcoming the obstacles
of faculty and administrative op-position
and student Ignorance,
the patroled examinations and
campus checks were abolished.
She explained that it took time
and effort to convince the faculty
and train the students, but a sys-em
was finally evolved that Is sim-ilar
to the one WC students agree
to abide by now.
After a coke break, the session
reconvened for a mock legislature
meeting led by Eleanor Butler,
vice-president of SGA.
