OPENING F Change—An Unequalled Unifier Of Community, State, And Nation Change—the mysterious, under- lying force that has directed the lives of each individual—has been insti- tuted to improve, to progress, and to advance. Uniquely, the change in administration at Northeastern hap- pened simultaneously with the trans- fer of the reigns of government on both the state and national levels from a Republican to a Democratic administration. Typical of the recent changes in faculty and staff mem- bers. Mr. Phillip Herndon and Mr. Billie Reid became the new principal and assistant principal, respectively. Unfortunately, all these men were linked together by a factor some- what less pleasant than being cast in a new position—the bitterly cold weather. The winter of 1976-1977 not only etched itself into “Amer-1 ica’s history book” as a result of its icy winds that ravaged the East Coast, but by the drastic actions and immediate decisions that were made by the people and their leaders. This situation magnified the co- herence of the commanders, be- cause the decisions of the President affected North Carolina, those of j the Governor influenced Elizabeth City, and those of the principal con- cerned Northeastern. Students and faculty members had not counted on massive “shivering” ' from the cold as a means of adjusting i to the new change at school. They did have consolation in knowing that the President, the Governor, and the principal were “quivering,” also. 2 LEVELCHANGE
