'Changing South' Topic At
Human Relations Seminar
"Problems and Promise in a
Changing South" was the topic of
the Human Relations Seminar
which was held at the University
of North Carolina December 10
and 11. Delegates from twenty-three
colleges and universities In
North Carolina convened at How-el
Hall at 2:30 p.m. Saturday to
hear Edward P. Morgan, one of
America's foremost news analysts
with the National Broadcasting
Company, make the keynote
speech. His topic was "Goals and
Little Girls," dealing with one of
the South's most pressing prob-lems—
that of the Integration
queation.
The speech was based around
the specific problem which has
presented Itself In the form of the
four little Negro girls who enter-ed
the public schools of New Or-leans
not too long ago. Mr. Mor-gan
described the fights that went
on In New Orleans as "the whole
essence of the democratic Idea."
Morgan said that now Is the time
for the people of America to lose
* their timidity and their prejudices
and to support our national goals
of "equality of opportunity and
■ fulfillment."
Workshop Held
Following Morgan's address the
delegates broke up Into five work-shop
groups which were: "The
Role of the Church In a Changing
South". "Political Responsibility
In a Changing South", "The Mean-ing
of Higher Education in a
Changing South", "The South' Ob-ligations
In a Changing World"
and "The South's Response to an
Economy In Transition."
Each workshop had a leader
and resource who were experts In
the field of the workshop topic
The varied backgrounds and ex-periences
of the members of each
workshop was especially stimulat-ing
In discussing the problems of
the South and In the world.
The workshop on "The Meaning
of Higher Education In a New
South" raised some especially In-teresting
questions. One was "how
much of a role does tradition play
Bill-Inspired Gift
A Senator at the State Student
Legislature of North Carolina had
assumed the great seal of North
Carolina and was intently express-ing
the belief that the state would
greatly profit by the passage of
his school's bill when a page en-tered
the chamber with an ornate-ly
wrapped gift In his hand.
The page approached the plat-form
at the front of the room and
handed the package complete with
an attached note to the president
pro-tem of the Senate. Barney
West whose argument In favor of
East Carolina's birth control bill
had won the Senate's approval.
The Senator contemplated the
gift for a moment and then tore
the paper away, considered the
contents, and hastly called for a
page who carried the package to
the back of the room and the East
Carolina delegation.
A few scattered chuckles were
heard as the package made Its way
around the Senate. And what ex-actly
was the gift that made its
way around the Senate and then
to the House of Representatives?
A book entitled What Shall We
Name The Baby ... of course!

. cratlc community we are consid-ered

j therefore petition for twelve

to the aforementioned principles
we feel that practical considera-tions
of Friday night as a tradi-tional
part of the weekend with
its customary social and other
functions and the fact that there
would be no Increased financial

fact that health should be no

Approximately five hundred couples crowded the ballroom floor of Elliot i Kail for the
annual Christmas Dance held on December 10. The dance was followed by a Christm
cert presented in Aycock Auditorium
on our campus" in reference to
Ideas and beliefs as well as to the
value of our Student Government.
The point was established that
Student Governments which arc
based on the Legislative, Judicial
and Executive principle are com-parable
to our national govern-ment.
The vaue of a student gov-ernment
of this type Is Irreplace-able
to a campus community of
any large size. The reason for
apathy in student government Is
caused by the fact that students
do not realize what would result
I fthere were no such organiza-tion.
A campus with an Honor
Policy or code stressing Individual
responsibility trains a student to
value self-respect and personal
honor as well as a responalblllty
to those of his campus community.
Integration Discussed
The Integration question was
also a prominently discussed topic.
Traditions were seen to play a
great role In this problem as well
as the responsibility or Irrespon-sibility
of slt-inmovemenU.
Throe Important questions which
came out of the workshop were:
"What does It mean to be a stu-dent?"
"Whst are our responsibil-ities
as students?" and "What
about Tradltlona"?
Saturday night the delegates
heard a panel discussion on the
sit-in movement In the South. The
panelists were Lacy Streeter of
N.C. State, John Cook of N.C.
State and David Price of U.N.C.
Walker Berghahn, Goettlnger
Scholar of U.N.C. was the modera-tor.
Three polnta of view were
presented and argued: Negroes are
tired of equality lectures when
they have to walk -only a block
to see contradictions; the princi-ple
of rights behind the sit-In Is
good, but, sit-ins themselves are
illegal because every man's house
istorei Is his castle, and we must
line up life at the fullest with our
fellow man, make possible the
preparation for all men to grow

4-H Club Convention
Held In November
Attended By A Frosh
People otten say that Woman's
College students can be found
everywhere. Proving this state-ment
Is quite simple. Meet
Nancy Crocker, a freshman from
Henderson. North Carolina. Last
month Nancy represented the state
at the National 4-H Convention
In Chicago. As the state winner
in home economics, she was
awarded the trip. Once at the
convention, however, Nancy was
the recipient of another honor —
the Montgomery Ward Home Ec-onomics
Scholarship. Winning
prizes Is nthlng new to Nancy.
During her nine years in 4-H
work she has won recognition In
dressmaking, public speaking and
community relations. As an exam-ple
of her versatility, she was
valedictorian of her high school
class, president of Ihe Beta Club
and vice-president of the Student
Council.
And what of her trip to Chi-cago?
It waa exciting to say the
least. Flying was a new experi-ence
and a quite pleasant one.
The convention delegates, who
represented every state in the
Union and several foreign coun-tries,
were guests of the Conrad
Hilton Hotel. "We were enter-tained
at banquets all day long,
and for every occasion. Why we
even had potatoes for breakfast,"
she says with a grimace. Nancy
was introduced to many promi-nent
people. At a banquet for
home economic winners, she tat
next to the president of Mont-gomery
Ward. Aside from attend-ing
banquets, she found time to
do other things. Nancy attended
a symphony concert conducted by
Arthur Fiedler of the Boston Pops.
She also participated In the church
services at the Central Church of
Chicago which holds Its services
In the tower of the Conrad Hilton.
The 4-H Club service Is the larg-est
one held every year Much
of her time was spent sightseeing.
Working with the 4-H Club is
a family affair at Nancy's house.
Her parents have served as adult
leaders and her younger brother
Is a 4-H Club member also. When
asked if there were other awards
she eould win. Nancy explained
that there were 3 categories In
which college students could par-ticipate:
citizenship, leadership,
and achievement. We don't doubt
that this young lady will take top
honors in all three1
