servicemen who want help
in buying a present from the
PIX for their fiancees, or who
want to know how to send
flowers by mail to tn cir
wives, mothers or girl friends.
It's no wonder that many
of the boys write back to
thank the volunteers for the
help given them. Wrote one,
Lucky the laddie in distress
if he bumps into Mrs.
Bridges"
The volunteers, Of course,
are forbidden to accept dates
but turning down such invi-
tations requires a great deal
of tact. Usually they suggest
that the soldier go to the
USO or tell him where he
can go dancing.

An Infa||ib|e Group Of 20
Boiling Base Volunteers Rule Out Failure

Over the years the group
of 20 women who man the
volunteer information booth
at Belling Air Force Base
have acquired the enviable
reputation of being able to
answer any question they are
asked.
This is no mean feat con-
Sidering that during the first
six months Of this year a
total Of 14,905 questions were
put to them.
Reason for this remarkable
record is found in the man
ual Of instructions given vol
unteerS, who range in age
from rs to so and are ex-
pected to put in at least
three hours a week though
many work longer. In a sort
Of golden rule" they are told
never to say. IT don't know"
Advises the manual, IF
you are asked something
that is unusual to you, ex-
plain that you will find out
the answer, and then pro-
ceed to do just that. Use
your reference materials
the files-the yellow pages of
the telephone books-military
telephone books. Always your
ingenuity"
Common Sense
In initiating new volun-
teers, Mrs. Gardner Bridge,
director of the booth, carries
this advice one step further
and suggests a liberal use of
good old-fashioned common
sense"
This was useful recently
when a soldier came to the
booth and said he was on
his way from Germany to
California where his wedding
was scheduled to take place
at that very minute. What.
he asked, should he do.
Booth staffers suggested
calling his family or the
family of the bride. But the
soldier pointed out that all
Of them would be at the
church.
Well, he was advised, why
not telephone the church!
This he did and so avoided
having his bride left at the
altar. And the wedding was
reScheduled to coincide with
his arrival time.
What do they do when the
serviceman is too shy to ask
a question or is too upset
.. or feels lost?
The truSty manual of in
struction has this to rec
ommend:
Seek him out draw
him out let him know
you are there to help him
and that someone does care
for his situation. In this in
stance, it is often the young
er boy, newly away from
home, not yet confident in
himself, who suffers more
and is the one more in need
Of help than the man who
is more mature and conf
dent.
do not overlook the
youngster needing help for
the older person who may
be more enjoyable to talk
with"
The Questions
Volunteers are asked all
kinds of questions. A typical
list runs like this:
Where can I sign in for
a hop? Where can
get Mexican food? E.
Where is an all-night drug
store? Where can I get

ing relationship between the
Board of Trustees of the College
and the Board of Education of the
Virgin Islands should ensure the
proper ALLEGATION Of vocational and
technical courses between the sec
ondary school and the college pro-
grams. A continuation of the pfac-
tice of making regular job oppor-
tunity surveys of the Virgin Is
lands should provide valuable in
formation necessary to the wise
and economical use of colleg e
funds to support only those voca-
tional and technical programs de-
signed to close gaps in the trained
manpower resources of the COM
munity,
g The two kinds of programs
just described will, we believe,
also serve to provide continuing
education for adults whose train
ing has been interrupted. We rec
ognize that in such work it may
be possible through part-time or
evening courses to provide some
non-credit vocational courses
which would not be tenable in the
full-time curriculum or feasible in
the secondary schools.
ID The Conference would stress
the needle Imaginative alertness
on the part of the College to capt.
talize on the unique features of
the Virgin Islands by its readiness
to offer programs of high quality
in such areas as human relations,
marine biology, or even special
training for service in the major
enterprise of the Islands, namely,
the care, feeding and transporta-
ton of tourists. In the provision
of such educational specialties it
may be necessary to seek the CO.
operation of the institutions of
higher learning Of the Caribbean
area or the mainland.
e Another way in which the
College may exercise imagination
and alertness in %curricular matters
win be through the use Of cognate
educational facilities including
mass media communication facil-
tiles and new and already proven
methods Of teaching. For example,
television service has recently be-
come available to Islands residents

Continue from Tuesday,
8. Curriculum
No Conference of outsiders after
four days of study, however in
tensive, should presume to pre-
scribe a detailed curriculum for
the College Of the Virgin Islands.
This is the task of the Administra-
ton and Faculty of the College,
governed by the evidence of pre-
sent and future local needs.
Nevertheless, the members of
the Conference believe that since
the selection both of a President
and Of a faculty will depend some
what upon the offerings of the
institution to be established, it is
our duty to offer some general
suggestions about the nature of
the curriculum and the procure
ment of a staff.
a. The Conference unanimously
recommends that the curriculum
be based on a program of general
or liberal education, including the
humanities, the social sciences,
communications, and the biolog-
zeal and physical sciences. At least
half of the credits required for the
associate degree should be earned
in these fields by all students.
Such a program, if offered at a
high level, will be flexible enough
both to meet the needs of students
planning to transfer to four-year
colleges, and at the same time to-
preclude too narrow specialization
in technical courses. Employers,
as well as four-year college admis-
sions officers, are looking for stu
dents with good intellectual back
grounds, habituated to independ-
ent study, who can think logically
and express themselves clearly
and accurately.
b. To this broad base we suggest
the addition of such technical and
pre-professional programs as can
be considered essential to meet
significant and continuing de-
mands Of the Islands and their
economy. We earnestly hope that
the College and its governing
board will resist proliferation of
vocational programs unsupported
by adequate enrolment and em-
ployment demand. a close work
, 1961-09-14

by means of w HE h educational
programs might be developed and
coordinated with regular courses.
- In addition to these general
suggestions concerning the courses
of study in the new College, the
members of the Conference urge.
that efforts be made to maintain
a coordinate program of extra
curricular activities. To put such
a program into effect may neces-
state special care in the schedul-
ing of classes for students who are
working their way through col
lege.
ga college, however, is not a
mere compendium of courses of
study or programs of instruction,
nor is it simply a working ensem-
BILE of faculty and students, not
yet a harmonious compositions Of
campus structures. It is, above all
else, a fountainhead Of commun-
ity culture, d center for the stimu-
lation and satisfaction Of intellec-
tual and aesthetic interests of the
community, a vital force in the
elevation of civic consciousness,
taste, and achievement. We be-
lieve that the College of the Viz
gin Islands as a focus of intellec-
tual leadership will benefit not
only the students but contribute
vastly to the salutary development
of these Islands for the benefit Of
all their people and the growing
concourse Of visitors appreciative
of such amenities.
A. Faculty
For any chance of ultimate sue
cess the proposed College of the
Virgin Islands must secure a fac
ulty Of high quality. The Confer
ence recognizes hat in the grow
ing shortage of qualified college
teachers this problem will be diff
ficult to solve. We suggest, how
ever, that solutions are not impos-
sible if two essentials can be Sc
cured:
First: a salary range which will
enable the college to compete sue
cessfully for qualified personnel
in the general market; and
Second: satisfactory housing fa-
cilities for the faculty.
These two are closely connected.
The saiubrious climate of the Is
, 1961-09-14

lands and the excitement Of a new
educational venture might attract
staff members at salaries some
what less than on the mainland,
if adequate housing could be pro-
vided. Without such facilities, the
salaries would have to outstrip
mainland scales because of the
higher costs of living in the Is
lands.
Possible sources of staff supply
to be explored by the administra-
ton of the new college might in
clude among others:
al Qualified personnel already
residing in the Islands.
b Through exchange or loan ar
~rangements, qualified faculty
from other colleges for particular
courses or for the organization of
new course offerings.
g Distinguished M emberso of
other college faculties who have
reached the retirement age and
who can be useful in a program
designed especially for newcomers
to college.
d. Members of faculties in other
institutions who might be per-
suaded to spend sabbatical years
in teaching in the Islands.
e. Former Virgin Islanders now
teaching elsewhere in colleges and
communities.
p If the five foregoing sources
should prove fruitful in supplying
experienced and able older teach
ers,. a fifth source could become
the graduate schools of mainland
colleges, where those just COM
pleting their training might be re-
cruited, when thoroughly recon-
mended by their own faculties.
Such young people, even though
lacking in experience, could be
given aid and supervision by their
seniors and could bring to the new
college and its students their en-
ergy and youthful enthusiasm.

Parkway Theatre
Showing ''Rdisin In
The Sun" Now

"Raisin in the Sum-" the Col
umbia picturing starring Sidney
Potter is now showing at the Park
way theatre 1914 Chicago Av.,
Minneapolis.
1t will show thru Tuesday, Oct.
10.
In "a Raisin in the Sum-" Potter
brings to the screen a characteri-
zation he played for well over a
year on Broadway. With him on
Broadway were Claudia Mcneil,
Ruby Dee and other players in
the film. In fact, the show itself
was halted in the middle of its
triumphant run, so that the entire
cast could travel to Chicago and
later to Hollywood for filming the
David Susskind-Philip Rose screen
production.
Poitier's pride in the play and
in his role, he explains, stem from
"its success in relation to the con-
tribution feel it is making in aid
ing understanding between human
beings"
Story of a Chicago South Side
family with its dreams, ambitions
and Illustrations, "A Raisin In the
Sun" is told with compassion,
warmth and humor. Potter, play
ing a husband and father who
wants to better living conditions
for his family but chooses the
wrong way to go about it, had no
interest in acting as a youth; he
wanted to be a doctor. He turned
to acting when he discovered that
nothing else he was doing in life
gave him any satisfaction.
"a Raisin in the Sun" Is, for
Potter, something Of a synthesis
of his early years of struggle, even
to the childhood ambition of want
ing to be a doctor. He has, in the
play, a younger sister who also
wants to be a doctor.
Daniel Petrie directed "a Raisin
in the Sum-" from the screenplay
written by Lorraine Hansberry
based on her New York Drama
Critics Circle Award-winning sue
cess.
