              A&T College Alumna Addresses
Livingstone Student Organizations
Mrs. Lucille Piggott, an A&T
College alumna, was guest speaker
for the Pan-Hellenic Council at
Livingstone- College in Salisbury,
Sunday, September 30.
The program, held annually at
Livingstone, is sponsored cooperatively by the Greek-letter organizations for the purpose of informing the freshman class about
aims, purposes, and programs of
. such organizations.
Mrs. Piggott, director of the
Mid-Atlantic Region of the Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and a member of two honor
societies, reminded the audience
that the first American society
bearing a Greek-letter name was
Phi Beta Kappa, a scholarship
honor society.
Then referring to the social fraternities and sororities, she said
"All of these organizations recognize, promote, and encourage high
scholarship: They constantly focus
attention on present-day problems
as they adjust their programs to
provide local, national, and international services."
Among their projects are Youth
and Family Guidance Community
Services,   Guide   Right   Program,
i   Volunteer    Service,    Achievement
Week,  Juvenile  Delinquency  Projects, Scholarship Foundations, Social    Action,    and    Emphasis   on
Youth.
)      "A     Greek-letter     organization
5   stresses a sense of responsibility to
■   self, to others, to college, to coun-
|   try, and to society. It, therefore,
becomes a beacon of the universality  of  mankind,   extending  its
rays of hope, of help, and of happiness found in   unselfish   living,"
said the speaker.
Regarding another value to be
gained through affiliation, she said
that a fraternity or a sorority provides   a   basic    human   need-the
Dean McLaughlin
Is Main Speaker
At Assembly
Mr. J. C. McLaughlin, a 1931
graduate of A. and T. and presently professor of rural sociology,
was the speaker at last Tuesday's
assembly.
Basing his address on the
Biblical question from the Book of
Exodus, "What is that in thine
hand," Mr. McLaughlin told those
present to start preparing now for
the future. , .
"What will you be doing three or
four years from now?", he asked.
You will be the one who will have
to answer that question. What you
do then is dependent upon what
yOu' do now. Your years here will
determine what it is and how you
use it."
Mr. McLaughlin also told the
audience that education does not
come cheap. "Some Sacrifices
have to be made", he said.
' Listing the most important
things in life as those which are
unseen, Mr. McLaughlin presented
some guidelines for a successful
life. He suggested the following:
(1) make a plan for life; (2) establish a purpose; (3) live positively; (4) develop good habits;
arid (5) believe in something.
! In closing, the speaker queried,
"Who are you? Where are You?
Where are you going? How do you
intend ito get there?- - What is that
in your hand? The verdict is
yours!"
Other persons appearing on the
program were Rev. A. Knighton
Stanley, Mr. S. C. Smith, Mr. J.
M. Marteena, and Rev. Cleo McCoy.
Dr. Frank A. Oliver of the State
Department of Public Instruction
: was  the  speaker for  yesterday's
assembly. He spoke on the topic
"Significant Issues from the Per-
~ spective of a Public Educator."
MRS. LUCILLE   PIGGOTT
universal bond of friendship. Furthermore, the fraternity system is
responsible for a positive contribution to the primary function of the
college. It, therefore, is under an
obligation to encourage the most
complete personal development of
its members — intellectually, morally, and socially.
"Affiliation can give one a deep
and abiding faith in a design for
living the good, the noble, the
creative, and the meaningful life,"
she continued.
She left the following challenge
with the freshmen: "Go Greek!
When you have made your choice,
to that choice be true. From that
day forth, wherever you go, whatever you do, that organization will
live through you."
Mrs. Piggott was preceded by
one representative from each of
Livingstone's eight Greek-letter organizations. Each representative
spoke for five minutes about his
specific organization.

Prolonged treatment of males by
certain hormones may result in
sterility.
That is the opinion of a professor at A&T College who makes this
statement in a scientific paper he
has written to appear soon in
VETERINARY MEDICINE, a national professional journal.
DR. NITYANANDA PATI
The professor is Dr. Nityananda
Pati, a native of India, and a graduate doctor of veterinary medicine
from the University of Calcutta.
Dr. Pati also holds the master of
science degree from Texas A&M
University and the Ph.D. degree
from North Carolina State College.
He has been professor of biology
at A&T since 1959.
The paper entitled, "Effects of
Exogenous Female Hormones in
the Organs of Male Rats," reports
findings on a study which has been
conducted at the college for the
past several months.
The experiments have been conducted on rats alone; and on the
basis of his findings, Dr. Pati is
convinced   that  the   treatment  of
male rats over extended periods
by the injection of this certain type
of female hormones definitely injures the male spermatoza, and
probably its production facility,
leading to sterility.
The same treatment, in larger
dosages, is being prescribed to
humans for correction in enlarged
sexual accessory glands, Dr. Pati
said, and it is possible that identical ill effects could occur.
He is now involved in additional
study to determine if the same occurs in female rats when treated
with exogenous male hormones.
Dr. Pati's principal interest is
not concerned with human ailments
and their treatment, but with lower
animals, specifically with dairy
cattle, and ways and means of
improving and increasing milk
production and extending the productivity of  such  animals.
This and other revelations are
emerging from experiments being
conducted as supporting studies to
the main and original problem.
Other studies conducted by Dr.
Pati, and reported in professional
journals, include: "Reconstituted
Buttermilk As A Diluent For Frozen Bull Semen Storage" and another on distemper in dogs.
ALL MALE FRESHMEN —
18 years of age or older who are
now registered with Draft
Boards of the Selective Service
System are asked to report to
Mrs. M. L. Howard in the OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS ho later than November 1, 1962, and
fill out a DRAFT BOARD INFORMATION CARD at once.
This must be done if you wish
to be deferred from the draft.
