Holidays
By  JOAN  GORE
Mrs. Sara B- Williamson King,
residence counselor in Curtis Hall,
died December 29, 1959 at her home
in Reidsville.
Mis. King had been employed at
the college for 2% years and was
spending her Christmas vacation at
home at the time of her death.
In addition to serving as dormitory counselor, Mrs. King was a
member of the college's discipline
committee, the Sunday School, and
a participant in many other activities.
Miss Geneva J. Holmes, dean of
women, described Mrs. King "as an
ideal person." "She was cooperative,
cheerful, and interested in all students' welfare," said Dean Holmes.
Funeral services for Mrs. King
were held at Zion Baptist Church
in Reidsville, January 1 at 2 P.M.
She is survived by her husband,
Rev. Joe King, and' three brothers — Clyde, S. S. and Eric Williamson.
Representatives of the college attending the funeral were Reverend
Cleo M. McCoy, director of religious activities; Miss Geneva J.
Holmes; Mr. William H. Gamble,
dean of men; Mrs. Sadie B. Bund-
rige, Mrs. Annie B. Bynum, Mrs.
Annie R. Simpson — all dormitory
counselors; and Mr. Allison Gordon,
college postmaster.	
New Building
To Replace
North Dorm
Members of the building and
grounds committee here decided on
Wednesday, January 6, that North
Dormitory, on the main campus
would have to go to make way for
a new classroom building on that
site.
North Dorm is one of the oldest
buildings on the college campus,
part of the original complex of
Dudley, Vanstory, Morrison and
Noble halls.
Architect R. E. L. Peterson of
Greensboro will draw plans for the
unit which is expected to cost approximately $218,000.00 The money
has been allocated by the state for
construction.
North Dormitory is adjacent to
Dudley Building (the administration building) and its back is toward Lindsay Street. The new
building will lie just north of the
administration building and will be
within a few steps of Harrison Hall,
the auditorium.
NO DATE SET
No date was set for razing North
Dormitory, a women's dormitory
housing some 60 students. These
women will be moved somewhere
else on the campus next year and
later will most likely be placed in
the new dormitory soon to be erected.
There was some talk about placing the classroom building adjacent
to the Hayes-Taylor YMCA on property which the college owns but
committee members felt the North
Dormitory site was more feasible.
PLAN FIELD HOUSE
An athletic field house will be
built on the northern part of the
campus near the athletic practice
field. Thomas B. Hayes, of Southern
Pines, is the architect for this building which is to cost $58,000. Hayes is
also improving the athletic field,
and this is expected to cost $91,500.
Long range plans call for further
expansion and development of an
area just west of Dudley Street between Lindsay and East Market
Streets.
Chairman George Sockiwell of
Elon presided at the committee
meeting. The committee had previously been authorized by the
board of trustees to determine the
sites for  the new  construction.

Coliseum is in its first year of
operation. It has seating accommodations for more than 9,000 people,
with parking facilities for more

Students Begin
Interneships
Next Week
By LOUIS  BELFIELD
According to Mr. S. Joseph Shaw,
approximately fifty students will
do practice teaching this quarter.
Student internes from the School
of Agriculture, School of Education
and General Studies and the School
of Engineering will begin work on
January 18, in various Secondary
Schools throughout North Carolina.
Mr. Shaw pointed out that more
students will participate in student
practice teaching during the winter
quarter than at any time in the
past four years.
In the area of student teaching a
more diversified program for instruction '"Materials" is now in
progress. However there is much
greater use oif Visual Aids by student teachers.
Mr. Shaw stated that more information on what the student teachers
are trying to accomplish will appear
in a later edition.
Mr. Shaw is in the process of
completing a research project in
teaching programs among other
Land-Grant Colleges and is to be
released in the spring.

Coleman Joins
Faculty Here
As Instructor
As a result of A&T's victorious
campaign for outstanding and capable instructors, the Department of
Education and General Studies has
a new addition to its faculty, in the
person  of Mr. Bernard Coleman.
Mr. Coleman, son of a tailor, was
born May 25, 1913 in Washington,
D. C. He is a graduate of West Virginia State College, Illinois Institute of Technology, and the University of Chicago. Since 1933 Mr.
Coleman has been a student of
history.
In 1956 he returned to the United States from an extensive stay in
Africa where he spent three years
as principal of an African Vocational school.
While there Mr. Coleman began
research on the social mores and
history of the Mandingo Tribe of
Central Liberia. Before Mr. Coleman's investigation, very little had
been done toward documenting the
social heritage  of the Mandingos.
As a result of his interest in the
people of the Mandingo tribe, Mr.
Coleman was elected an honorary
member of the group and is one of
the few outsiders who can boast of
having had the pleasure of observing Mandingo feasts and ceremonies.
Aside from being an extensive
traveler and authority on the
Mandingo Tribe, Mr. Coleman is
an art collector. He is a collector of
both American Negro and African
art. His collection is composed of
some 900 objects valued at $45,000.
TECH. INST. LISTS 47
The Technical Institute listed 13
students on its "A" honor roll —
two of whom had perfect grades —
and 34 students on the "B" honor
roll.
While this list is the smallest for
any fall quarter since 1954, when
the total was 246, the percentage of
students in the top echelon of the
honor roll is considerably higher
than at any time during this period.
