If the $43.2 million bond
referendum passes on March 23,
A&T will receive
$2.13
million
for a new social science
classroom building.
"That money is needed for
the building," stated Chancellor
Lewis C. Dowdy in an interview
last week. Dowdy continued by
saying that the students majoring
in the social sciences are
presently located in six different
Assembly Presents Resolution
CHAPEL HILL AP-The
Faculty
.Assembly
of the 16
campus University of North
Carolina has pointed to "a
decline in the level of literacy
among entering undergraduates"
as it called on the public schools
to give more emphasis to reading
and writing.
The UNC Board of Governors
was presented Friday with a
five-point resolution, adopted by
the assembly in December.
Copies have also been sent to
Dr. Craig Phillips, state
superintendent of public
instruction, and W. Dallas
Herring, chairman of the state
Board of Education.
"In recent years we have
observed
in our departments a
phenomenon that has caused
concern all over the country: a
decline in the level of literacy
among entering undergraduates,"
the resolution said. "This decline
is so serious that students
encounter an uncommon degree
of difficulty with their work in
any subject that requires
proficiency in reading and
writing."
The resolution called for:
-Increased emphasis on "the
fundamentals of reading
and
writing" in elementary schools.
-Candidates for teacher
certification in grades one
through nine should be required
to demonstrate proficiency in
Top 10 College Women
Will Be In Magazine
A&T State University is
invited to participate in
GLAMOUR Magazine's
1976
Top Ten College Women Contest.
Young women from colleges and
universities throughout the
country will compete in
GLAMOUR'S search for ten
outstanding students. A panel of
GLAMOUR editors will select
the winners on the basis of their
records of achievement in
•
academic studies or in
extracurricular activities on
campus or in the community.
The 1976 Top Ten College
Women will be photographed by
leading New York photographers
and
featured
in GLAMOUR'S
August College Issue. During
April, May or June the ten
winners will be invited to New
York to meet the GLAMOUR
staff and will receive a $500 cash
prize.
Anyone who is interested in
entering the search should
contact Ms. D.E. Everett in High

reading instruction.
-Junior and senior high
schools should provide "thorough
study in reading and
composition."
-No English composition
teacher should be required to
teach more than 100 students a
day. That maximum was
recommended by the National
Council of Teachers of English;
North Carolina law says that high
school teachers may not be
required to teach more than
150
students a day.
-English departments in the
university system should
continue the emphasis on reading
and composition begun by the
public schools. "
In a telephone interview,
Phillips said he agreed with some
of the assembly's points. Phillips
pointed out that high school
English teachers wouldn't have
to teach more than 100 students
if the public schools had the
same student-teacher ratio as the
university system.
Herring said he agreed with all
of the assembly's
recommendations, adding he
would favor diverting federal
allocations from experimental
programs to basic education.
classroom buildings. "They need
a new home," he added.
Those departments to be
housed in the new building if the
bond
issue passes are the
departments of history, social
science, social services, sociology,
psychology, community mental
health, and geography. Hodgin
Hall, which is the site of many of
the courses being taught in these
departments will be specifically
used for the School of
Education. These changes will be
made after Hodgin Hall has been
renovated.
There is a definite need for a
'new building and added
instructors. According to
Dowdy, there are
51
instructors
teaching 12,821 credit hours.
Dowdy criticized those
persons who think the bond
referendum shouldn't pass
because Black institutions will
not. be receiving enough of the
monies. He explained that, if the
bond issue is not passed by the
voters, "it will put us three or
four years behind."
The three-story structure,
when completed will contain
laboratories, offices, classrooms,
and an assembly hall.
While speaking of this
proposed new building, Dowdy
mentioned that its location is
being discussed, but no tentative
site has been agreed upon.
He also mentioned the new
math and physics building,
(which should be going up soon)
and future possibilities of a
humanities building, and a new
auditorium which could be
located on the acquired property
between the old and new Market
Streets.

March

for the

On

the

the things that they
are to be

on
will
be the

in
capital improvement bonds
for

Among
the
facilities
to be
provided
by

is a

of
Social Science.
Presently,
the
Social Sciences
at A&T are
housed
in

all

of

The Board
of
Governors
and
university officials
of all

in the

are
working
to
have this issue passed. The only way
of
assuring
that
the

is for
voters
(including
YOU!) to
vote
"YES" on the

We
are not

for

the

receive
a
favorable vote.
As a
matter
of
fact,
the
North

of

not
had
any
success
in
previous bond issue attempts. However,
if you
vote
for and
encourage others
to
vote
for the

the
chance
of
its passage will
be
greatly enhanced.
There
is no
doubt that
the
passage
of the

will
not
solve
all of

certainly
will give
us a

By Benjamin
T.
Forbes
In
the
report that was released this past Thursday concerning desegregation
ofthe
16
campuses
of the
University
of
North Carolina system,
it
was noted that
3 of the 16
universities
did not
meet
or
exceed
the
goals
set for
integration
of the
campuses.
It
just
happens
to be
that these three campuses were
all
predominantly Black: North
Carolina Central, Elizabeth City State,
and
Fayetteville State.
An article published
in the
Saturday edition
of
the Greensboro Daily News states,
"The
failure
of
those three
to
come
up to
anticipated integrated enrollment ratios apparently
lies with
the
administrators
of
those schools
who
were unable
to
recruit more white
students."
It
would
be
difficult
for any
institution
to
meet
i t s
quota
of
non-Black
students considering
the
deficiencies
of
Black colleges
and
universities. These three
schools
and
others
may
fall
and
continue
to
fall short
of
required demands until
the
Board
of
Governors decidesto become sincere
in i t s
efforts
to
eliminate
the
deficiencies
'at these schools.
University
of
North Carolina President William Friday explained
in the
article that
he
was pleased with
the
"positive
and
constructive progress"
of the
integration plan, which
enabled
the
system
to
avoid
any
possible threat
of a
federal suit. From this writer's point
of view there
is a
thin line between positive
and
negative
and
with
the
Board
of
Governors, that line
is
thinner than
a
hair.
The
present "positive
and
constructive
progress"
is not
enough.
The report goes
on to
state that more Blacks are being hired
in
administrative positions
at predominantly white campuses, while whites are being hired
in
lower paying positions
at predominantly Black universities. This
may be
ture,
but
where
on
earth
are the
Black
schools going
to get
enough
money
to
hire people
in
higher positions when they
can
(if
they can) hardly afford
a
slight
pay
increase
to
their present employees?
What this whole report boils down
to is
that those schools
who
have
the
money
(the
predominantly white ones)
are
able
to
attract
the
Black student
and
professor faster than
the predominantly Black schools.
Umm,
the
power
of
that almighty dollar!

Peer Group Counselors
Students Serve As Counselors
By Anthony Motley
Dr. Robert L. Wilson, director
of
counseling
services recently
announced a new program
entitled "Student Counseling
Program." The program is
designed primarily to serve the
university's freshman students
both on and off campus.
Wilson commented that about
sixty students have been selected
to serve as peer counselors. These
students were recommended by
the administration, deans, and
the vice-chancellor of student
affairs. Wilson explained that
they were chosen on the basis of
their character, personality,
academic standings, and
interaction with their fellow
students. The program will
freshman students in their social,
personal and academic
adjustment to the university's
environment. In addition, the
student counseling program
offers students the opportunity
to be systematically trained to
provide freshmen with guidance
information necessary for college
survival.
Wilson explained that
students today tend to listen to
other students more readily than
to adults. The university's
counseling services will initiate
and train student counselors,
monitor them, supervise and
evaluate the effectiveness of the
program.
The program will be based

the residence halls and utilize the

Co-op
Students Come
To Pursue Their Dreams
A special federally-sponsored
cooperative education program
at A&T State University has
brought three Spanish-American
young people more than 3,000
miles from California to pursue
their dreams.
This minority, which has
fared even worse than Blacks in
terms of educational
opportunities, was a target of a
pilot program at A&T.
"Many Spanish-American
high school graduates go no
further than junior college out
our way," said 19-year-old
Debbie Clavel, one of the
students. Many of them simply
want to get married."
She indicated that in many
cases it is simply a matter of lack
of motivation.
Debbie, Gene Lopez, a
Mexican-American, and Joel
Tugade, whose background is the
Phillipines, are natives of
Oxnard,
Calif.,
just 50 miles
north of Los
Angeles.The
students were recruited last
summer by Lt. Col. Harold
Lanier, director of the
cooperative education program
at A&T, and Benny Mayfield of
the Admissions Office.
All of the students are
interested in math-related
careers.
"Ever since I was in the eighth
grade," said Debbie, "I wanted
to be a mathematician."
"I would like a career in
audio-electronics." said Gene,

outreach counseling centers. The
outreach centers have been
located in 1078 Scott Hall and
109 Zoe Barbee Hall (High Rise).
The centers will be directed by
Mrs.
Marylou Bowers and Mrs.
Marva Watlington, respectively.
Student counselors will be
assigned approximately 25
freshman students each from
their respective residence halls.
Every freshman will have a
counselor immediately at hand.
Wilson emphasized that being
a student counselor is both a
privilege and a responsibility.
The program was implemented
by

Development Program (AIDP) in
September. In closing he stated
that the program should be in

who added that he would like to
design speakers in order to take
advantage of the rock craze.
Joel hasn't decided on a
definite career, although he is
majoring in engineering
mathematics.
According to Lanier, A&T is
serving as the coordinator of a
nationwide cooperative
education program for the huge
Naval Material Command in
Washington, D.C.
He said the program will
hopefully add up to 200 students
a year for the next five years.
A&T is working with the six
predominately-Black engineering
schools, and with colleges on the
West Coast and in the Southwest.
The A&T students will spend
their four years co-oping , with
alternating periods of on-campus
study with off-campus
employment.
They are already looking
forward to their first job
assignments possibly next
summer at the Port Hueneme
Naval Base in their hometown.
"We have been very well
received here," said Debbie, "but
it's a fact that we are homesick."

ARE
AMERICANS
NATURALLY
RELIGIOUS?
Maybe they're naturally in-
dustrious, inventive or frontier-
oriented.
But naturally religious? No.
85 million Americans have
no expressed faith. Millions more
don't practice the faith they pro-
fess.
Millions more, every year,
drift away from faith altogether.
If you believe in the power
of the Gospel of Jesus and think
His Gospel still has something to
offer America, then maybe you
should investigate the Paulist
way of
life.
The Paulists are a small com-
munity of Catholic priests who
have been bringing the Gospel
of Testis to the American People
in
innovative
ways for over 100
years.
vVe do this everyday through
the communication
arts—books,
publications, television and radio
—on college campuses, in par-
ishes,
in missions in the U.S., in
downtown centers, in working
with young and old.
We don't believe in sitting

a
graduate
of Pembroke State. Edwards
is
ranked
in the top ten of the
nation,
according
to the
NAIA,
and
placed

twice before graduating from
Pembroke State.
A question that
may be
going
through many peoples minds
is
whether
or not the
Aggies
can
win
the
MEAC wrestling
championship.
Even though
the
matmen have
won
all
seven
of
their conference
matches, this
is no
indication
of
what
is in
store
for
them
at the
championship.
The Aggies have been hurt
all
season
but
they feel they have
put
it
together once
and
for
all.
The Aggies have been well
coached this season
by Mel B.
Pinckney. This marks Pinckney's
fifth year
as
wrestling coach
and
he feels
his
team
is
performing
quite well
if
one
considers
the
amount
of
talent that
was
left
from last year.
"But even though they
haven't
had
this
in
the
past year
the Aggies have done
the job
quite well
for us,"
stated
Pinckney
.
So
the
Aggies
are in the
tough
of things
now and
they will
try
to finish with
the
MEAC
championship this weekend
in
Dover,
Del.

but,
in
the
meantime,
the
Aggies
assured themselves
of at
least
a
tie
for a
bye
with
a
sound 75-70
win over Howard University.
A crowd
of
about 4,000
looked
on
Saturday night
in
Moore Gymnasium
as
they
witnessed
the
Aggies gain,
squander,
and
regain
a
sizable
lead over
the
Bison.
Howard found itself down
quickly
6-0
by
way
of
the
torrid
outside shooting
of
Dexter
Boone.
It was
Boone
who was
responsible
for the
first
ten
Aggie
points
of
the
initial period.
Coach
A.B.
Williamson's club
was compelled
to
stay
in a 3-2
zone
for
most
of
the
half hoping
that
the
Aggiess' pace would fall
off eventually. That guesswork
would prove
to
work both ways
in
the end
result.
Howard began
to
slump inside
defensively
as
they controlled
the
offensive boards.
A&T was
either
taking
low
percentage shots
or
simply failed
to
block
us
defensively
for a
seven-minute
stretch
in the half.
Head Coach Warren Reynolds
inserted freshman
L.J.
Pipkin
to
help beef
up his
rebounding
and
inside scoring punch.
That decision proved
to be
the correct
one as
Pipkin
hit
three
of his
first four
field-goal
attempts. This brought
the
Aggies
to
within
one
point
at
the
half,
4544.
The Bison then took
a
page
from
the
North Carolina Tarheel
playbook
and
decided
to
use
a
four-corner style attack
to
assure
a 49-46 lead
at
the 17:41
mark.
That
is
when
the
guesswork
backfired
as A&T ran off 12
points
in a
three-minute stretch
to take
a
54-51
bulge
at
12:24.
Howard closed
the gap on
more than
one
occasion
to
less
than three points.
But a
late
spurt
on the
part
of
James
Sparrow,
the
season4ong star
for
A&T, iced
the
victory with
a
three-point play that gave
his
team
a
71-64
lead with
1:30
to
go
in the
game.
Ron Johnson,
a 6-8
senior,
began tuning
up
for
next week's
tournament with
19
points
and
seven rebounds. Dexter Boone
hit
for 16, and
Sparrow added
ten points,
all
in
the
second
half.
Center Sinclair Colbert grabbed
a
game high eleven rebounds.
