New Frontiers
In Education
Outlined
New frontiers in education were
outlined by Dr. Samuel D. Proctor,
president of A&T College, as he
spoke to a group of teachers and
parents at Dudley High School,
February 16.
He advocated the teaching of
foreign languages in the primary
grades and favored teams of teachers working toward overcoming
"mediocrity."
The real goal of education, Dr.
Proctor said, is to develop each
individual to his maximum capacity and help him to become the
type to help others achieve this
same goal so that life may be integrated into a harmonious relationship with God.
Relating to statistics, Dr. Proctor stated that twe million persons
are now employed in the teaching
profession to make new frontiers of
education  a  reality.
Katie Foye, president of the
A&T chapter of student NEA, and
Mrs. Loreno M. Marrow, state director of student NEA, were platform guests.
Mrs. Ethel E. Echols, chairman

IR Club Attends
Model U. N.
At Duke
By  David Johnson,   Jr.
The International Relations Club
recently journeyed to Duke University, Durham in order to represent the college at the United Nations Model Assembly. The program began February 22 and will
end tomorrow.
Delegates of the Club
It appears that the college was
well represented at the Model
Assembly. The Delegates who participated in the programs were as
follows: William Wanendeya, chairman; Sullivan Wellborne, Reginald
Spence, Bobby Stafford, Cornelia
Merrick, Marian White, and Ike
Wilson.
Tunisia Represented
The club represented Tunisia at
the Model Assembly. Its representatives took the same position that.
The Tunisian government took last
fall at the regular United Nations
Assembly, which was held in New
York.
Two Issues Discussed
Some of the issues that are pertinent to today's crises were discussed: Such problem issues consisted of the Congo crises, the control of out-of-space, Germany's
treaties ratification, amendment of
the United Nations' Charter, Refugee problems, and the questions of
Red China's admission to the United Nations.
Others Schools Participated
Several schools participated in
the Model Assembly programs.
Among those were Boston University, West Virginia University, U.
S. Naval Academy, Guilford College. U. S. Air Force Academy, and
North Carolina State College.
It is believed that the group did
a remarkable job. This was the
second time that the club won a
wide ovation from other participating colleges. Mr. Gordon T. Saddler is faculty-adviser to the club.
A&T Will Get Student Center
And New Biology Building
If Budget Is Approved
Budget Committee Recommends $3,046,206
Of $4,671,321 Requested For 1961-63
By Tommy Gaddie
If the advisory budget commission's recommended budget for
A&T College is approved by the
General Assembly, A&T will receive only $3,046,206.
Although A&T asked for $4,671,-
321 for the 1961-63 biennium, the
budget committee rejected some
of the proposed improvements and
made cuts in other areas.
The committee rejected requests
for proposed expansion programs
and cut most of the other requested
amounts.

BASIL G.  COLEY
Basil G. Coley
To Begin
Research
Basil G. Coley, a senior majoring
in agricultural economics has been
awarded a research assistantship
for the purpose of attending Pennsylvania State' University beginning July 1, 1961.
He will study for the M. S. Degree in Agricultural Marketing and
Statistics. Coley is an honor student and a member of the Foreign
students' Association, International
Relations Club, and a former member of the Register Staff.
Coley is active in religious activ
ities and has devoted much of his
time to the campus Sunday school.
These top-notch students are initiates and old
members of Gamma Tau Chapter of Alpha Kappa
Mu national honor society.
From left  to  right are:   Jack  L.   Ezzell,  Mary
Harper, Maxine Zachary, Joseph Monroe, Ernest
Sherrod, Walter T. Johnson, Paul Parker, Nathan
Rogers, William Gavin, William M. Bell, Ralph
Barnhill, John C. Holloway, James F. Blue, Jerome
Baker, George A. L. Gant, and James Rice.
While college officials originally
asked for $684,132 for expansion
of the extension and public service
program, the commission recommended: a total of $401,000. The
bulk of the sum requested would
have gone for salary increases,
equipment, and books to improve
the graduate school.
The commission also turned
down requests for air conditioning
for the library building, estimated
at $60,000; a new physical education building and gymnasium.
$913,000; and a mathematics and
business administration building,
$426,000.
Tuition  Raise
On the other hand, the commission recommended that tuition be
raised by $19.00 per year for state
students, with no increase recommended for out-of-state students.
This increase would provide funds
for faculty salaries and the scholarship program.
The recommended budget would
provide for three new instructional
positions and $161,560 for faculty
salary increase.
Also recommended by the commission was a bond issue of $500,-
000 for a student center. This a-
mount is in addition to $400,000 to
be made available through federal
funds. The $500,000 bond issue
would be repaid through movies
raised from the operation of the
student center.
The commission also recommended $110,000 for a new boiler at the
college, a boiler plant, and $54,500
for the renovation of Murphy Hall.
New  Building
The greatest recommendation for
any single item was for a new
biology building estimated to cost
$818,000. This building would provide six classrooms, 19 teaching
laboratories, 18 research laboratories, and a lecture room which
would seat 150.
Of the $3,344,000 requested for
capital improvements the commission recommended only $1,641,750,
but the total amount recommended by the commission is 11 percent
greater than the amount appropriated for the 1959-61 biennium.
