THE A&T COLLEGE REGISTER,    GREENSBORO, N. C.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1961
Dr. W. Archie Blount Announces
Evening Classes Progressing Well
Dr. W. Archie Blount, director of
evening classes and professor of
adult education, has indicated that
the evening classes are progressing
well.
In a recent interview, he stated
that every possible effort is being
made to make students feel that
they are a part of the college family.
Officers elected from evening
classes include: Airman James E.
Jones, Kernesville, president; Mr.
A. P. Hicks, County Agent, Rocky
Mount, Virginia, vice president;
Mrs. Christine Wilson, a legal-firm
secretary, Winston-Salem, secretary;
Mr. Belwin Jessup, Western Electric employee, Greensboro, program
chairman; and Mrs. Marie Morris,
Greensboro, social chairman.
According to Dr. Blount the evening class students do not have a
student government, but he is hoping that they will eventually obtain representation in the regular
student government of day students.
He also added that there are
several students attending the evening sessions who are enrolled in
self improvement courses. Among
these are a dentist, a lawyer, and
a county agricultural agent. Many
students who are enrolled in such
courses may have several degrees,
but they desire to improve themselves.
Evening classes as emphasized
by Dr. Blount, are centered around
two central objectives. They are
to provide these individuals who
are unable to aittend college on a
full-time basis a chance to earn a
college degree and to improve their
educational  background.
Sixty-one students are enrolled
in the evening classes. They are
enrolled in such courses as business
English, French, geography, history,
health, education, mathematics,
music, tailoring and brickmasonry.
AU of these courses will eventually
lead toward a degree or a certificate.
Most of the students are from
Greensboro. A few, however, travel
a distance of eighty or ninety miles
twice per week in order to attend
classes.
Bulletin

the Board of Trustees, Board
Chairman Robert H. Frazier
announced that Mr. Harvey R.
Alexander will succeed Mr. E.
Ray Hodgin as business manager
of the college.
Mr. Frazier also announced
