Student Council
Sends Delegation
To N.Y.C. Confab
The Student CouncU sent a delegation to the conference of the proposed Youth Corps, at American
University in Washington, D. C.
last week.
The delegation consisted of CecU
Butler  and  Steve  Robinson.
The National Youth Corps idea
was suggested by President Kennedy early in February.
The N. Y. C, if estabUshed, wiU
be closely patterned after the overseas Peace Corps. It will be open
to men and women who are at
least 18 years of age — young
people as weU as retired individuals.
People who volunteer to serve
in the N. Y. C. must be coUege
students or graduates, or have
some specific skiUs in working with
people and their problems.
A volunteer who is accepted for
the Youth Corps, wiU have several
week's training in some special
branch of work to be undertaken
by the new group.
A volunteer is expected to serve
12 months, including his training
period.
Like the Peace Corps members,
N. Y. C. volunteers wiU receive a
living aUowance but no pay while
in service.
At the end of their service volunteers wUl receive a lump sum —
possibly $75 a month for the time
they served. This amount is the
same the Peace Corps members
receive now.
It is hoped that 500 volunteers
wiU form the initial group with an
eventual strength of up to 5,000
members to be reached in 3 years.
Volunteers wiU be sent to areas
that request their services; and
projects undertaken wiU be under
the direction of local authorities.
The N. Y. C, if established, wUl
make a significant contribution in
curbing juvenile deUnquency.
Other areas in which volunteers
will possibly serve are among
older people, children of working
mothers, among Indians on reservations, hospital patients, and
migatory workers.
The conference was addressed
by Attorney General Robert Kennedy and Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota.
The delegates wiU make a post-
conference report to the coUege
sometime in the near future with
the view of popularizing the new
organization among students.
Cornell Students
Present Report
On Race Study
By United Press International
A group of white Cornell University students who came south a
year ago to study race relations
were heard from yesterday regarding their impressions of the Greensboro community.
David Burr, who lists himself as
university chaplain, accompanied
seven students who spent six days
of their spring vacation Uving at
A&T CoUege in Greensboro, a
state-supported Negro institution.
Burr emphasizes in the 12-page
report that, whUe trying to reflect
the actions and impressions "of
the projected group as a whole,"
the report was "significantly influenced by the personal views of
its writer."
The group found racial injustices,
backers of the Black MusUm cult,
white coUege students with guUty
social consciences and provincialism manifested in North Caro-
Una's second largest city which,
in 1960, gave birth to the Southern
sit-in movement against segregated
lunch counters.

Woman's College
Will Present
Royal Gambit
For its third annual production
the Theatre of Woman's College
will present Royal Gambit, a modern moraUty play by Hermann
Gressieker.
The play is based on the story
of Henry VIII and his six wives.
Its symboUsm, however, goes
much further to trace the development of man from the Age of
EnUghtenment to the Age of
Atoms. Thus the historical events
with the six wives transcend history and lead to an idea that the
scientific and military problems
and emphasis of today are a result
of this age when man turned away
from God and looked upon themselves as "AU powerful."
The play is under the direction of
Kathryn EngUsh with set design
by Minor Rootes. Costumes to be
made in the Theatre's costume
shop are designed by NeU Rootes.
Production dates for Royal Gambit are March 14, 15, and 16, with
curtain time at 8:00 P.M. The box
office opens March 7 and remains
open Monday through Saturday,
2 until 5 P.M. Admission price is
$1.50 for adults, $1.00 for coUege
students and 50c for high school
age and under.

Dr. L. C. Dowdy Is Honored
By Sandhill Alumni Assn.
Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, acting president of A&T CoUege, was honored
at the annual Dinner Meeting of
the SandhiU Chapter, of the A&T
College General Alumni Association. The meeting was held at the
Morrison Training School last Saturday evening.
Dr. Dowdy, was presented a
gift, by the alumni group, "in commendation for the outstanding
services rendered the coUege while
serving in several posts with distinction." The gift was presented
by Mrs. Jessie C. Thomas, Hoffman, who this faU, was named
"Miss SandhUl Chapter."
In delivering the main address,
Dr. Dowdy told the group that the
"margin of greatness" at a coUege
or university is determined by the
thrust the institution gets from
students with imagination, courage
and self-discipUne; from an alert
faculty, dedicated to the task before it and which participates in
the poUcy making in an atmosphere of academic freedom; from
a trustee board, interested in the
students and faculty and completely unified in the cause, and from
its alumni, who may serve as an
inspiration to those students who
would wish to foUow in their footsteps.
The speaker was introduced by
Hosea C. Brower, president of the
chapter. E. S. Douglas presided.
During the two day schedule,
Upperclassmen wiU register the
first day and freshmen the second.

in planning their schedules.

their schedules during pre-registration in February and have passed
