INTERESTED IN_ATTENDING N. C. S. U.

One of the many special interestsessions attended by 4-H'ers on Thursdaywas entitled "The University". TheSession was led by Jeff Mann, who isAssistant Dean of Student Development atN. C. S. U. He said that there are about16, 000 students attending State this fall,about 3, 100 of which will be freshmen. Heestimated that approximately 1, 000 studentswill drop out during the first semesterbecause of difficulty adjusting to life on thecampus. This should leave enough roomin the resident halls for those who desireto live on campus.

He also said that the average SATscore at State is 1100, and that all highschool seniors who are interested in attend-ing should apply as soon as possible.

Mr. Mann said that student life is basedon desires of the individual, and if a studentwishes to roam around and/or party until4:00 a. m. on the night before final exams,he is free to do so. Besides living inresidence halls, there are several frater-nities maintained at the school, and thebuilding of a sorority house is in the pro-cess. Mr. Mann impressed everyone withhis talk, and it looks like N. C. S. U. willnow have several more applicants to con-sider come November.

If you have any questions or would likesome information about State, Mr. Mannsaid feel free to drop in his office, when-ever possible.

LET‘S KEEP g ALL TOGETHER

We N. C. 4-H'er are not living in thepast of this state. One 4-H'er displayedConfederate flags Wednesday evening andmany feel that something should be said.

We are supposed to be living in a land ofequality for all which gives us freedom ofspeech. 4-H is supposed to get us “all"together and we sincerely hope the smallgap caused by that action can be joinedindefinitely.

RALEIGH IS FANTASTIC FOR 4-H CLUBCONGRESS

A better place is not to be found forholding Club Congress! Friendly people,helpful leaders, and encouraging agentsand specialists always make any place abetter place!

In addition to this, a variety of activitieskept 4-H'ers too busy to have a bad time.Recreational facilities on the NCSU campus,and various activities off campus (movies,shopping centers, etc.) gave 4-H'ers plentyof things to do during their leisure time also.

Raleigh i_s a fantastic city in which tohold Club Congress, however with theenthusiam and spirit as displayed this weekin Congress delegates, one can clearlysee that location has nothing to do withhaving a good time!

WILL WE HAVEA‘LH STATE CENTER?

Carol Myers, candidate for StatePresident of Forsyth County has somegood intentions.

If she should be elected, she plans toattempt to lay the groundwork for the con-struction of a State 4-H Center if there areenough interested parties.

Her reason for this planned attempt isespecially, but not only to try, to receivefeedback from other states whenever thereis any type of interstate convention.

As she pointed out, the dormitories willnot be available for the 4-H occupancy duringthe fall and spring semesters.

Usually, if any type of interstateactivity is held during these times, Georgiahouses the 4-H'er because they have thefacility that we so desperately can use.

If Carol Myers receives your supportshe will do whatever she can to serve the4-H'ers by trying to get the ball rollingin 4-H.
