Appointments
Available To
Juniors
The 1961 Summer Student Trainee
Program administered foy Oak Ridge
Institute of Nuclear Studies in cooperation with Oak Ridge National
Laboratory will offer temporary
summer appointments. These appointments will be on a competitive
basis, to a limited number of college JUNIORS who are majoring
in the sciences and who will be
seniors in the school year 1961-62.
One purpose of this program is
to provide opportunities for college
undergraduates to develop a better
comprehension of research methods
and their significance. To accomplish this, the students, under the
guidance of research scientists, will
engage in activities pertaining to
research. It is further expected that
the program will encourage the
student to carry on graduate work
after his bachelor  degree.
During the summer, representatives from several graduate schools
will interview many of the student
trainees; however, applications
must be received by Oak Ridge
Institute of Nuclear Studies on or
before January 15, 1961.
For further information regarding this program, communicate with
Dr. George C. Royal, Room 173, Carver Hall.

Aggie Student
Distribution
Cited
A recent statistical survey reveals
that a total of 2,112 students are
enrolled at A&T College this quarter.
The distribution of enrolliment
shows registration of 588 freshmen,
444 sophomores, 376 juniors, 395 seniors, and 83 special students.
In the Graduate School are 27
full-time and 199 part-time students.
This makes the grand total enrollment for A&T College 2,112 students. These figures, however, tend
to vary from quarter to quarter
because new students are permitted
to enroll any quarter and a few are
graduated each quarter.
Once again this year the School
of Engineering takes the lead in
school enrollment. It has a total of
790 Students distributed throughout
the school. The various departments
in the School of Engineering are
business, engineering, mathematics,
physics, fine arts, and industrial education. Of these engineering department leads with 318.
Other schools follow with 562 enrolled in the School of Education
and General Studies, 460 in the
School of Agriculture, 208 in the
Technical Institute, and 74 students
in the School of Nursing.
Male students on campus out
number the female 2.1. The only
place where females have the majority is the School of Nursing,
where there are 72 young ladies and
two young men.
Director Of Drama Tours Europe
By TOMMY GADDIE
The best way to really see Europe
is by taking an unguided tour. At
least this is the way Mrs. Sandra
B. Motz, director of dramatics, feels
about the matter.
Mrs. Motz, along with some of her
N. Y. University classmates, Was
selected at random to tour Europe
instead of attending classes at NYU
during the past summer. This was
part of their work for the doctoral
degree.
Mrs. Motz says, in reference to
her doctorate, "I am more interested in producing a work of art
instead of merely obtaining the
degree. I would like to create a
novel that would be produced on
Broadway or filmed."
While in Europe, Mrs. Motz studied Modern European Drama at the
University of Leiden in the Netherlands. She also had a chance to live
in Holland as the native Dutch.
Mrs. Motz said that although she
lived' the simple Dutch life, without refrigeration, automobiles, and
other modern American conveniences, she was not ill a single day.
When asked if she had worn the
wooden shoes which are so closely
associated with the Dutch, she replied, "Of course, I didn't, and they
didn't either."
Mrs. Motz said that her trip to
Europe gave her a greater insight
and deeper understanding of drama
in its entirety. "Since American
Drama has its seed in Europe," said
Mrs. Motz, "visiting Europe, studying in her ancient edifices of learning, talking with Europeans about
their drama and seeing their presentations have given me a greater
appreciation for American drama."
While in Europe, her living accommodations ranged from simple
YWCA hotels to a luxurious Peri-
sian Hotel.
In Europe, she toured Belgium,
France, Holland, and Germany.
Mrs. Motz, the A&T College director of Dramatics and instructor
of English, is a graduate of A&T
College. She received her M.A. Degree from New York University.
Mrs. Sandra Motz, instructor, actress, and traveler has her ambition set
on creating a novel that will be a Broadway hit. Above, she looks over
a brochure of the many places she has visited.
On registration day, the following
procedure  Will be carried  out:
(1) Go to your advisor and in
consultation work out a schedule
FREE FROM CONFLICTS on a
trial schedule card obtained from
the advisor.
(2) With a sharp pencil, copy this
schedule on a triple schedule form
obtained from the advisor.
(3) Afterwards, students will go
to the gymnasium with the registration schedule in triplicate forms.
(4) Upon entering the gymnasium, READ and FOLLOW all
signs. At the first table, stop and
receive a printed manila envelope.
Write your student number on it
immediately.
(5) Following this procedure, go
to the class card station and hand
your triple schedule forms to an
attendant. Then go to the end of
the line of cabinets and wait there.
(6) For each course on your
schedule, the attendant will give
you a white class card and yellow
admission card.
(7) Proceed to a table and print
all required data - on a manila
envelope. PRINT ON ALL CARDS
at the proper places.
(8) Finally,' go to the checker
lines and stop at each station.
(9) Move on to the pay station,
present your charge slips and
schedule, and pay fees. The third
copy of your schedule will be returned to you along with the bursar's receipt. .
Make sure that you have a copy
of your registration schedule, a yellow admission card, a meal book,
and a laundry book before you
leave the gymnasium.
, All new students going to the
gymnasium will have in addition to
the triplicate schedule, an information card, a health examination
card, and a photograph card.
All students are expected to report to class promptly and to give
to each instructor the correct admission card on the first day of
classes.
College Extends
Christmas
Vacation
For the first time in several years,
students of A&T College will join
their friends in spending the week
before Christmas at home. This
year the Christmas holiday will begin December 17 and end January
2.
This probably comes as a surprise to most of the students now
attending A&T since, for the past
several years, A&T College has
been the lone institution dismissing
its students the day before Christmas Eve or thereabouts.
Last year the students of this college and the paper joined together
in making a protest against this impractical holiday scheduling and
were told that the calendar had already ben arranged and could not
be changed.
The calendar has been changed
this year, however, to extend not
only the Christmas holidays but the
school year as well.
Easter holidays will begin March
31 and end April 4, 1961. In addition, Commencement will be June 3.
