Ail mechanics who have been certified to conduct the official 3 inspection were reminded yesterday by State Police Sgt. J. M. Hutcherson, to attend tonight's meeting, starting at 8 o'clock. The occasion is the annual Inspection Mechanics' Meeting.

Inspectors who do not attend will have their certification cancelled and may not inspect until re-examined or else they must attend one of the meetings to be held elsewhere in the state. Sgt. Curtis Wilson of Bedford will be the principal speaker at tonight's meeting. Sgt.

He said state troopers occasionally find a motorist driving such a car with an inspection sticker but no seat belt.

IT'S KM TMTDKOMTOIHOOir REUPHOISTER 3-DAY SPECIAL FURNITURE UPHOLSTERY YOU SAVE (Continued from Page 1-B) The purpose of the workshop, she said, is to discuss how students will achieve the goals expected of them.

The college, she told the faculty, "exists to give visions to life as it is and to create concern for life's issues." College students, she said, are disoriented by ten factors: The impact of new ideas; concern about explosion of knowledge (too much to be assimilated); concern about the general irrelevance of knowledge presented; pressure to select a major field; the competitive nature of college life (academic and social); leaving home and returning often; the emptiness of dormitory life; the feeling that the cost of college is too great for the result; social and academic strain; and the decision of what value is most important. Dr. Hardee said she believes a college faculty is trying to answer these questions: "How do you capture the imagination of "how do you get the student to become involved in the "How is the student taught ideas that make a difference in her "How is she helped to become a member of the college community?" The panel of student leaders, who will assist in the orientation of new students arriving Wednesday, undertook first tc answer the question: "How die you happen to come to Averett?" They replied that they became interested when they me with representatives of the col lege during "College Day" pro grams at their high schools that some became interested as a result of conferences witl former Averett students; anc that they wanted to attend i small college. Considering the question what they would say abou Averett to bring other sludenL to the college, the students saic they would point out the variety of pre-professional courses anc the possibilities for explanation the close, strong relationship existing among students; th individual assistance given students by most of the faculty if needed; the opportunities fo leadership in a small, close-kn; student body; the opportunitie i for knowing and understandin The teacher gets involved in discipline, she said, by demon- rating a discipline in a par- cular subject; the student ventually enters into a disci- The driver explains he bought bis car in North Carolina, which has no seat belt requirement, and since has moved to Virginia. No matter where the car is bought, if it is a 1964 or later model, it must be equipped with seat belts before a Virginia sticker can be issued for it, Sgt.

Hutcherson said. James B. Coates Dies In Norfolk years. Clifford of Ferrum, charged with distilling in Pittsylvania County, pleaded guilty and was given 18 mon'hs to serve and placed on probation for three years. Howard Reed Burwell, 52, of Durham, N.

The student government leaders said they feel incompetent to suggest a course of study a prospective student or to answer all questions about the rules. They expressed the belief they can help make Averett what they want it to be through get- leship, an apprenticeship of lared discipline. The teacher, Dr. Hardee con- nued, strives to stay forever oung to place himself in the position and her point of view; the tudent should become a teach- of the teacher, showing him she wants to know. The faculty panel discussion pened with the question of the Averett students eally possess an overall dedi- ation to learning.

One of the student leaders relied that the great majority of tudents are "intent on further- ng their why hey're here." Why the students do not do more reading on their own ame in for discussion. One student said the amount of required reading makes it diffi- ult or impossible to read be- the assigned materials, lowever, it was acknowledged hat students often read the sellers for pleasure. In answer to faculty ques- ions, the students said they try live up to the image of the Averett girl, yet at the same ime strive to develop their own ndividuality. Said one student: "I don't think any rule or regulation at Averett will do anybody any lasting In welcoming the new facul- members. Dr.

Bishop traced college's history and development, pointing out that like many institutions, it did not close or suspend operation during the Civil War or immediately thereafter. He told the faculty they were chosen because "we believe you meet the three requisites for membership in our faculty teacher must know his subject matter and be able to ieach; the teacher must be so enthusiastic about his teaching that he is willing to work too hard and leave it to the college to see that he does not get a chance to do so; and the teacher must endeavor to make his contribution in the classroom and out of it to implement the purposes of this Christian college. This means that he must accentuate the positive aspects of Christian living rather than spend his time worrying about or condemning negatives of James B.
