A&T Placement Bureau Is
Tops For Finding Jobs
The Placement Bureau is among
the many fine services that A&T
College has to offer to its students.
It offers fast and efficient service in
obtaining good job opportunities for
students.
This service is available to all
graduating seniors, graduates, and
graduate students of the college
who are seeking full-time, part-
time, and seasonal employment. In
a recent survey, Mr. Jimmy I.
Barber, Director of the Placement
Bureau, reported that the bureau
was successful in placing 130 graduates who applied for assistance.
Among those who graduated last
June, the following have placements
as a result of the service rendered
by the Placement Bureau.

"Mighty Mite"
Arrives at A&T
By MYRNA SPENCER
It is fascinating to watch the DK-
2 Recording Spectrophotometer tell
the nature of the compounds which
it is permitted to analyze. It is
indeed a "mighty mite" as one
would expect its complicated system for interpretation to be housed
in a much larger chassy.
The Beckman DK-2 is used in
every branch of industry from aviation to food processing, in chemical, biological and engineering research. It has many public health,
hospital and educational applications, and has become the outstanding analtytical tool for research and
control work.
The DK-2 Recording Spectrophotometer is located in the Research
Laboratories of the Department of
Home Economics, Room 255, Carver
Hall. By means of a highly complicated network of electronic
tubes, it automatically measures the
absorption characteristics of compounds at different wave lengths
from 185 to 3500 millimicrons. Almost simultaneously, it records
these on special chart paper. Its
costs is approximately $10,000, depending on special attachments
which are used.
Dr. Gerald A. Edwards, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry and Staff Scientist and Consultant on the Home Economics Research Project, made arrangements
to secure the instrument on loan
from Fisher Scientific Company.
Interested persons and groups are
invited to view it and to learn of its
applications. A limited number of
samples can be analyzed, by appointment, through the courtesy of
the National Institutes of Health
Project, Department of Home Economics.
Five Students
Explore Secrets
Of Nutrition
In a manner similar to the way
in which prospectors search for
uranium, five students are exploring the body's use of one of the
essential substances in food. Geiger
tubes and other special equipment
are used to detect and measure the
radiocarbon in tissues of rats after
a radioactive amino acid, methionine, is fed.
Three of .the students are outstanding mdjors in chemistry. As
participants in the National Science
Foundation program of Undergraduate Research in the Department of
Home Economics, they play an active role in this study. They are
James A. Rice, a senior from Rocky
Mount; John C. Holley, a senior
from Windsor; and George A. L.
Gant, a junior from Greenstooro.
Two are leading students in the
Department of Home Economics.
They are Myrna Spencer, a senior,
and Minnie Ruffin, a sophomore;
both are from Tarboro, N. C.
The research team of eight persons is supervised by Dr. Cecile. H.
Edwards, professor of Nutrition in
the Department of Home Economics. Co-investigator is Dr. Gerald A.
Edwards, chairman of the Department of Chemistry. Miss Evelyn L.
Gadsden, Research Assistant with
the project, shares a leading role in
the  work.
The project, sponsored over a five
year period by the National Institutes of Health, U. S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare, is
supported by a gpawt bf£ iapptrtJjQN
ma'teKy igeojooo.

Tennessee December 8 and 9.
The two day lecture, which was
the first in a series, covered the
topic concerning Infra Red Spectroscopy As Applied To Biological
and Chemical Problems. The Sold
purpose of these lectures is to provide enriching experiences for undergraduate research participants.
To give them the opportunities to
develop a better understanding of
research methods and their significance.
Along with being chairman of the
Physics department at Fisk University, Mr. Lawson holds membership on the Council of the Oak
Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies
of the Fisk University Infra Red
Institute. In addition he served as
senior research participant at Oak
Ridge for some four years.
He is a member of Pi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi Scientific Society and
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity.
An alumnus of the University of
Michigan, Mr. Lawson is adviser to
