Who Will Go To College In 1967?CLEVELAND, O.— (L P.) —An

encouraging look into fu tu re en ­ro llm ent trends a t colleges and universities is given in a book, “These Will Go to College,” re ­cently published by the W estern Reserve U niversity Press.

The upw ard trend, calculated to -ireach a record -b reak ing peak in 1967j forecasts bulging enroll-

Tiients ■ for institu tions of higher learning on the basis of a study w hich has been under w ay since 1949.

The book, w hich was w ritten by Dh'niR. Clyde White, d irector of institu tional research at Western Reserve, gives results of a long- range study forecasting fu tu re en- rjDllment in the 13 colleges and universities in northw este rn Ohio. College registrations will rise g ra ­dually beginning w ith the cu rren t academic year the book reveals, clim axing increased acceleration in the early 1960’s w ith a record high in 1967.

In calculating the probable n u m ­ber of college freshm en in fu tu re years. Dr. W hite and his staff s tu ­died countless factors, including b ir th ra te trends, life expectancy tables, pressure of em ployers for college - tra ined personnel, f lex i­bility of the social group structure , economic conditions, and m otiva ­tion tow ard college attendance.

Data for the study was collected from 70 public, p r iva te and paro ­chial high schools as well as 13 colleges in the seven-county area around Cleveland, w ith a popula ­tion exceeding 2,000,000.

May Day Festival Is Great Success

The May Day Program , origin­ally scheduled for May 2, was postponed to May 9 because of j rain; however, the program, open­ing with the crowning of the queen by Willie Carr, was a great success.

The court consisted of Brenda Elliott, queen; Rudolph Jones and Jam es Townsend, heralds; Jam es Boyd and Auley Leake, guards; Miriam J. Cagle, maid of honor; Sylvester Reeder, crow n bearer; and attendants w ere Annie Glover, Dorothy Powell, Doris Rice, and Ina Hughes.

Using the Showboat as a theme, the program tha t followed con­sisted of beautiful in terpretations of musical selections.

The first selection was an in ­terpretation of “Old Man River,” followed then by “Lullaby of Broadway” by Section ID.

A lthough a t this mom ent the program was in terrup ted by rain, the scene was shifted to the col­lege gymnasium. The crowd of people who w ere present followed the program to the gymnasium where, even though the space was small for such a program, nothing was taken away from the a t trac ­tiveness of the theme.

Continuing w ith the program, the freshm an class showed u n ­usual artistic ability. Much could be said about their performance, especially such num bers as “F ra n ­kie and Johnn ie” — a Satire on Real Life D ram a — by M axine Wright.

There was splendid coordination in the dance “Lady of S pain” por ­trayed by M arian White and Syl­via Pindle. The rhy thm ic m ove­ment in the dance “S tudy in O r­ange and Black,” by Section lA; gymnastic stunts done by both boys and girls; IC’s rendition of “Night T ra in ” a n d “Tw ilight Moods;” “Colors in the Sky,” and the “Indian Dance” by IE. A l­though the young men are not re ­quired to take par t in the May Day Program, it would not have been complete w ithout their sp len ­did assistance. M a n y of them, p inch-hitting for some of the young men who w ere aw ay with the chair, perform ed afte r having rehearsed only once.

Such n u m b e r s as “Indian Dance,” “Old Man River,” and “Cupid’s A rrow ,” are to be es­pecially commended. The “Teddy Bear Dance,” the “Square Dance,” and “March in Review,” perfo rm ­ed by the children of Newbold Training School, completed the program.

At the conclusion of the exer ­cises, Coach Taylor presented to Presiden t J. W. Seabrook, a check from the WCC for $150 to be ap ­plied to the A thletic Scholarship

tion for F irs t-R ate Citizenship,” Mr. Groves pointed up the revo ­lu tionary emphasis of our times, particu larly the sociological revo ­lution tha t is w oven so deeply in the p a t te rn of our presen t living.

To p repare ourselves for the on­coming inevitable changes, Mr. Groves said th a t we m ust increase our technical efficiency, recognize the responsibilities w hich w e are accepting as teachers of young, easily-m olded minds, and form a state of m ind which will not let us rest un til we succeed at our chosen tasks.

A lthough a young man. A tto rn ­ey Groves has the rich experiences w hich the earning of an A. B. de­gree from the U niversity of Colo­rado, the being elected to the co­veted Phi Beta K appa Society, and the receiving of the J. D. degree from the U niversity of Chicago, have given him.

M arried to the form er Miss Eve­lyn A pperson of Chicago, after having served in the United States A rm y as a first lieu tenant w ith an arti lle ry outfit in the European thea tre and teaching in the Law School a t N orth Carolina College at D urham from 1949-1950, Mr. Groves now resides a t 275 Gilles­pie S treet, Fayetteville, N.

On Friday, May 8, a t 8:15 p. m., M argare t Tynes of the New York O pera Company appeared in con­cert a t the Fayetteville S tate Teachers College new auditorium.

A lthough she is com paratively new in the concert field. Miss Tynes is a ta len ted and graceful artist. F rom h er very f irs t ap ­pearance on the concert stage, the critics have been profuse in be­stowing upon h er the ir praise and com mendation.

H er a r tr is try was such th a t she had the distinction of being the firs t Negro w om an to become a perm anen t m em ber of the New York Opera Company. D uring the opera season, w hich lasts from

March 19 through May 3, she is one of the leading artists, singing leading roles in “C arm en,” (in F rench), “Regina,” and “The Love for Three O ranges.”

“Porgy and Bess,” in w hich she played the leading fem ale role, “Lysistra ta ,” in w hich she was E t­ta M oten’s understudy, “F in ian ’s Rainbow,”—in w hich she did over 200 perform ances, th ree motion pictures, and the lead in “H. M. S. P inafore” are only a few of her m any accomplishments.

Selections w hich appeared on her p rogram included “P er P ie ta” — (from the opera “II F loridoro” ), “Wer Sich der E isam ekeit E rg ieb t” — (from “Gesange des h ar fn e rs” ), “Blue A re H er Eyes,” and Hall Johnson’s reknow ned “City Called H eaven.”

Dr. H arold L.

S peak ­ing from “The Life We Live,” he insisted tha t “we m ust p repare now for life in a dull-fledged de­mocracy.”

Steam ing hot - dogs, smokes, cokes, and plenty of wholesome fun w ere in evidence at a typical A lpha sm oker held in the Robert R. Taylor Science Building on Monday, May 18.
