DEPARTMENTS ARE SEPARATED The technical department is making rapid progress under the direction of its new dean, Professor J. M. Mar- teena, who has just returned from a two-year leave of absence which he spent at the University of Michigan, working towards his doctor's degree. The enrollment of the technical department has almost doubled. The trades have shown a great gain over last year, many of them doubling their enrollment. In the college department the number of industial art students remains the same, while the architectural and building department has doubled its number. However, the outstanding department of the technical college is electrical engineering. This department was begun by Professor Bowling three years ago with onlv five students. This year there are 1-1 students, more electrical engineering students tin u any other Negro college, including Howard, can boast.

COLLEGE FACULTY IS STRENGTHENED FOR THIS YEAR Five Former Professors Return After Year of Graduate Study. TWO NEW LADY TEACHERS —♦— SENIORS ORGAN! 'S Under Able Leadership the Class Can Be Sure of Successful Ending. D. J. V1CK IS PRESIDENT Realizing that time is short, the seniors launched out and led the college in perfecting organization for 1933-34. The present senior class is one that has made a decided impression for the past three years. One that is determined to complete its course with satisfaction resting in the minds of its advisors as well as its members. Let it be said, when we shall have finished, that we have done our best and that is the only requirement of any class or individual. As a group, the seniors have been successful in aiding in the growth of the college. Under able leadership we are sure of a successful ending. Dorsey J. Vick, who is now president, was vice president last year. Other officers are, namely: Lillian J. Lee, vice president; L. Ilortense Galloway, secretary; N. Woods, treasurer. Edward Houston and Hattie G. Wright were elected as chairmen of social and program committees, respectively. As representatives of the senior class on the student council, M. V. White. D. F'. Galloway and A. II. Morrow were elected by a unanimous vote. ATTENDANCE IS LARGE AT SUNDAY SCHOOL The Sunday school opened September 17th with a large attendance. It seems as if we are really going to have a live Sunday school this year. We are hoping that all the young men and women will help us put this program over by aUending and giving us their wholehearted support. The officers for the school year are: Prof. L. A. Wise, suerintendent; Samuel Kennedy, assistant superintendent; rles Price, treasurer; Sametta Sel- secretary; Ella C. Edwards, assis- Stcrctary; Alda NeWS'o.me.. reporter. :..r .jft_ Miss Crawford Becomes Dean of Women and Miss Wise Heads Music Department. The A. & T. College faculty has been greatly strengthened this year by the addition of new teachers and the return of former teachers who have done further study at some of the country's leading universities. Among the new instructors we have Miss Carolyn Crawford, graduate of Columbia University, who is dean of women and head of the home economics department of the college. Miss Ethel Wise succeeds Mr. Baker as instructor of music. Miss Wise is a graduate of the Howard University School of Music. While in Howard she made several extensive tours of the country, giving concerts in the interest of the school. Heading the list of the returned instructors we have Dean Warmoth T. Gibbs, dean of the science college, who spent a year at Harvard doing graduate work in political science. Mr. Marteena, who spent a year at the Univer- sitv of Ohio has succeeded Professor George Washington as dean of the technical college. Mr. L. A. Wise, bead of the department of business administration, has returned after spending a year at Atlanta University. Dr. Robert Weaver completed work on his Ph. D. in economics at Harvard University.
