FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1960
Register Captures Third Successive 'First'
FOOD SERVICE TO IMPROVE!!"
Paper Rated By
Specialists In
Journalism
The A&T College REGISTER merited another first place rating in
the Annual contest of the Scholastic
Pness Association. The REGISTER
was listed in the category for printed newspapers of senior colleges and
universities. The entries to the contest ares classified by type of publication, method of publication,
school level and size of school.
This marks the third time in succession that the REGISTER has received a first place rating. In 1958,
under the editorship of Douglas D.
McAdoo the first place rating was
received and in 1959 under Alonzo
Stevens. Now under the present editor, Albert Rozier, who upon accepting the Editor's pbsition last
Spring predicted a Medalist Award.
The Medalist is the highest honor
in the  competition.
The publications are judged by a
group of thirty school press specialists who are excellent in the field
of journalism.
It was announced in the Greensboro Daily News, however, that
the REGISTER placed second, the
error was later corrected.
Last year's representatives to the
conference were Albert Rozier, Editor and Cleveland Biack, associate
editor. This was the first time in a
number of years the REGISTER
wasn't represented at the conference.
Mrs. Loreno Marrow, instructor
of English, is the adviser to the
REGISTER.
In the fall of last year, several
staff members attended the 35th
Annual Associated Collegiate Press
Conference  in New York  City.
Results of competition in that Association's competition are not announced until late spring.
Formal Guard
Mount Held
Yesterday
BY JAMES A. HEFNER
The Army ROTC presented to
the public yesterday on Dudley
Lawn, the Formal Guard Mount
Ceremony, which is one of the most
difficult of army ceremonies to perform.
The Formal Guard Mount Ceremony is the exchange of one guard
for another in the guarding of an
area or post. The guard that is relieved is the old guard, and his
reliever is the new guard. Two platoons were used to illustrate this
ceremony.
Prior to the ceremony, the Pershing Rifle Team, under the command
of Cadet Captain John C. Holley,
demonstrated before the many spectators, the version of "precision
drill."
The ceremony began at 8:15 a.m.
Previously, the Battle Group assembled at Campbell Hall, ROTC
detachment, at 7:00 a.m. and departed to Holland Hall, where close
order drill was performed. The
personnel participating in the
Guard Ceremony proceeded from
Holland Hall to the Dudley lawn,
where spectators had assembled in
groves to greet them.
The army band was the first unit
on the lawn, fpllowed by two platoons composed of juniors and seniors, and the Pershing Rifle Drill
Team. At 8:00 a.m. the drill team
performed it precision style.
These student representatives from A&T College to the Student Assembly,
a mock General Assembly, held last week at the State Capitol, Raleigh,
were cited for having presented the best bill before the House and tied
for the best bill before the Senate.
Among those attending were from left to right: front row — Kenella
Francis, Wilhelmina Harrison, Charles DeBose and Bennie Robinson.
Second row: Albert Rozier, Maxine Zachary, Richard Punter, and Edward
Pitt. Back row: Don Edwards, and John Cooper. Other delegates included
George Manning and Fred Jones.
12 From A & T Attend
Student Legislature
By WlLHELMANA HARRISON AND ALBERT L. ROZIER
The bad-weather plagued North Carolina Student Legislative Assembly finally plowed out from under the snow after
postponements of the sessions for two years in a row.
The mock-General Assembly was
postponed last year (1958-59) because of a mid-March snowstorm
which caught several colleges from
the western part of the state enroute to Raleigh. The Assembly
was originally scheduled this year
for March 10-12, but a mammoth
eleven-inch snowstorm on March
9 made it necessary to postpone the
meeting until the following weekend, March 17-19.
TWELVE ATTEND
Members of the delegation from
A&T chosen by the Student Government are John Cooper, Bennie
Robinson, Edward Pitt, Maxine
Zachary, Kenella Francis and Donald Edwards. Alternate representatives are Albert L. Rozier, Charles
DeBose  and   Richard  Punter.
Senators are Wilhelmina E. Harrison, George Manning, and Fred
Jones as an alternate senator.
Colleges and Universities, both
state-supported and private, made
up the mock-legislative assembly,
which is patterned after federal and
state legislative bodies. It is composed of a House of Representatives
and a Senate.
Appointment in the House is
on the basis of school enrollment,
with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill having the
largest delegation with fifteen
members.
Each school is allotted two senators, regardless of school enrollment. However, in each of the
bodies an alternate is allowed for
every  two  voting  delegates.
A&T had two senators with one
alternate, and six representatives
with three alternates, making a total delegaton of twelve members
from the school.
TWO BILLS
The  Aggie   delegation presented
two bills on the floor of both houses.
The  first bill  was  one  providing
tenure  and  academic freedom for

Agency Admits
A&T College
A&T College has been recently
admitted to membership in the
American Association of Colleges
for Teacher Education.
The announcement was made last
week by. Dr. Warmoth T. Gibbs,
president of the college.
Notification by the Association
stated that A&T is satisfactorily
meeting the general and professional standards required. These include unqualified membership in
the regional accrediting agency,
planned educational objectives, college organization, admission, selection, guidance and placement
policies,   to  mention  a few.
The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education is a
national voluntary association of
colleges and universities throughout the United States, organized to
improve the quality of teacher education.
L. C. Dowdy, dean of the School
of Education and General Studies,
who spearheaded the movement to
gain admission for the college hailed the acceptance as "high recognition of improvement in the A&T
teacher education program."
Surplus Funds Said To
Be Reason For Change
In Dining Hall Policy
To   Serve   Steak   Family   Style
At   Thursday   Evening   Meals
Campus food service authorities announced last Monday
that T-Bone steaks (with all the trimmings) will be served in
the dining hall possibly once a week, but at least every other

AKA Holds
Regional
Meet Here
The Greensboro chapter of Alpha
Kappa Alpha, Beta Iota Omega and
A&T's Alpha Phi Chapter — are
working diligently to complete
plans for what promises to be an
outstanding Regional Conference.
This year, special emphasis will
be placed on the contributions of
undergraduate chapters. One speaker on the Symposium will be an
undergraduate — Soror Amelia
Thorpe, a student at North Carolina
College at Durham. The members
of Alpha Phi Chapter will present
the program for the close luncheon
on Saturday afternoon.
The speaker for the Sunday worship service at St. James Presbyterian Church, will be Soror Edna
Over Campbell, a former Supreme
Basileus.
Many courtesies have been extended by Greek-letter organizations. The initial activity for the
delegates will be Registration on
Friday night, followed by a dance
sponsored by Alpha Nu Chapter of
Kappa  Alpha  Psi  Fraternity.
Other activities include a Party
sponsored by the graduate chapters
of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Saturday night a formal dance will be
sponsored by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in the Greensboro War
Memorial Coliseum.
It was learned from authoritative
sources Tuesday that this new trend
is being made possible due to a surplus of funds in food service, which
was detected in the recent quarterly audit of dining hall revenue.
BEGIN NEXT WEEK
The tentative plans for the beginning of this newest of the dining
hall personnel's policy of improving the quality of food for students
is set for next week. The day will
most likely be> Thursday evening.
Mr. Fred Nusome, head chef in
Murphy Hall, stated Tuesday afternoon, "The type of steaks to be
served on a regular basis will not be
limited to one kind, but until we
work out plans with our meat distributors about mid-April, we will
serve T-Bone steaks."
Mr. Nusome also stated that the
steak dinners will be served family
style, with multi-colored time cards
similar to those used on High School
Senior Day being used to avoid
crowding the dining hall at any one
particular time. ,
STEAKS  NOTHING NEW
It was pointed out by Mr. Nusome
that the polifcy of serving steaks
was nothing new. The dining hall
staff has served steaks several times
this school year, but with no definite dates preset for the occasions.
"We are able to serve them on a
regular basis now," he continued,
"and we have sufficient personnel
to serve family style."
Students are to receive their
cards (all for the same time, or at
different times, depending on their
class smedules) from the deans of
women and men, respectively. The
meals will be served at the regular
hours 4:15-6:00 p.m. with a thirty-
minute limit on the duration of
each group of students' mealtime.
At the end of these thirty-minute
periods,, students musij leave in
order that the next group may come
in and be served.
