Dowdy Requests
More Money
For College
When Dr. L. C. Dowdy presented
requests to the Advisory Budget
Commission for $6,404,500 for capital improvements, he also presented requests for an additional
$1,073,390 for the next biennum.
In his presentation to the Advisory Budget Commission, Dr.
Dowdy indicated that this $1,073,
390 would be used to strengthen
the present educational program
and to insure a high quality program at A&T College. He also indicated that this money is needed
to achieve national accreditation
in some academic areas.
The additional funds, if received
would provide for a salary increase of approximately 15% for
all established faculty positions
with some varying from this figure in order to provide salaries in
keeping with the salary range in
professional rank and to provide
progressive steps within the salary
schedule.
The additional funds would provide for more clerical help, thus
freeing teachers to spend more
time in providing high quality instructional programs.
In his appeal for these funds,
Dr. Dowdy cited the need for funds
for the enrichment of the college's
instructional program through the
usage of guest lecturers, additional equipment, and supplies.
Among other things in his appeal for more funds, Dr. Dowdy
told the Commission of the need
for additional instructors and organized research.
He illustrated A&T's needs for
financial support for Guidance and
Counseling service offered at the
college. The program is presently
supported by a $15 fee paid by the
students.
Other things cited by Dr. Dowdy
that these funds would supporl
were travel funds for professional
conferences, new books for the
library, additional library personnel, and additional laboratory supplies.
Capital improvement requests
for 1963-65 included the following:
biology building, $885,000; dormitory for women, $550,000; mathematics and business building,
$700,000; student union, $1,040,000;

Duke U. Initiates
W. T. Johnson Jr.
Into   Fraternity
Walter T. Johnson, Jr., former
president of the A&T CoUege Student Government, has been taken
into fellowship by Byrnes Senate
Chapter of Delta Theta Phi at
Duke University.
With this recent affiliation, Johnson became the first Negro to gain
membership in the social and professional fraternity.
According to Bryan Stone, President of the fraternity, the Duke
University Chapter acted to pledge
Johnson last February, after having understood that a constitutional revision made at the 1961 National Convention had "knocked
out the Caucasian-Christian stipulation." Stone added that Duke
Chapter officers asked national
fraternity officials for advice and
interpretation.
When the members of the Duke
Chapter met after the convening ot
school in the fall, the group was
told that Johnson's application had
been rejected by the national
fraternity. After receiving this information, the group expressed
"an overwhelming maJDrity opinion to disavow its existence as a
subsidary of Delta Theta Phi.
Last week the formal act to
drop affilation with the national
fraternity became final.
Johnson, a resident of Greensboro, was graduated irom A&T
College in June of 1961 and entered
the Duke University Law school in
the fall of 1961. He is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Walter T. Johnson,
Sr., both members of the A&T College faculty.
Richard Robbins who is a junior
at A&T was guest speaker at the
first Agricultural Economics Club
meeting on October 2. Employed in
the Bureau of Census as a statistical clerk in Washington, D. C.
during his summer vacation, Rob-
bins gave an account of his experiences. Assigned to the Agricultural Division for possible future
employment as a statistician, after
completion of his college career.
He was taught to read punch
cards, and tabulation runs, and to
operate computers. Along with
more than eight thousand student
trainees, he attended White House
Seminars. These seminars were
designed to familarize the student
trainees with the operation and
duties of the various branches of
the Federal Government.
The Ballet Marjo, an exciting
import from Holland will appear
at A&T College for a performance
on Friday, October 19,1962 at 8:00

familiarize the audience with tlie
rigorous training and control demanded of ballet dancers.

directress and choreographer ot
the group will direct the lecture-
demonstration.
Madame Goekoop- Santhagens
was educated in ballet by Darja
Cullin, Alexis dormesson, David
Grey and Igor Shwetzoff. She was
educated in modern dance by Gertrude Leistikow and Hertha West-
man of the Mary Wigman-Schule
in Dresden, Germany.
The Ballet Marjo Company,
which was founded in 1953 is one
of the youngest and sprightliest in
Europe. Traveling under the aus-
picies of the Association of American Colleges' Arts Program, the
