She talked of the importance of
the woman's role in modern society. She encouraged the Negro college women to strive for the highest so that they may do their part
in helping the Negro to move forward.
She stated that many of the high
paying jobs, such as engineering,
will not freely accept women;
women have to do much of the
menial labor. But, she added,
women are gradually being accepted as  equals in  many  areas.
Women's Weekend was concluded wtih a thank-you from Catherine Ramsey, president of the
Women's Council.
Drill Teams
To Compete
In Festival
The Air Force ROTC Drill team

Student, Artist, Poet, Writer
Holds Local One-Man Art Show
Mollie Walker, left, Newport, N. C, adjusts the brand new cap for
Lady Elizabeth Eubanks, Nyack, N. Y., as Mrs. Martha Linton, Durham, N. C, looks on from right. The action took place, last week, at
the annual Capping Exercises for the A&T College School of Nursing.
The three received top awards for outstanding academic achievement.
"Nursing Profession Assures Jobs"
Speaker Tells Student Nurses
"Ours is a profession that assures a job because demand will
always exceed supply," sophomore
nursing students were told at the
School of Nursing's Capping Exercises March 24.
Speaking was Miss Jeanne Riddle,
director of Nursing at Moses Cone
Hospital. A graduate of Indiana
University Training School for
Nurses, Miss Riddle has had a
broad background in areas of
nursing, including head nursing,
supervision, and public health
nursing.
In her speech, she reminded the
students that in the next two years,
they will learn to observe patients
for signs of pain, to prepare patients for observation, and to observe a patient's reaction to treatment. She further stated that a
nurse's contribution to her patient
must be given physically, socially,
and emotionally.
According to Miss Riddle, a
nurse must have a philosophy of
life; she must have something to
give, and an effort must be exerted to improve daily. A strong noble character, a sense of hvynor,
and a strong faith in God are
other necessary qualities of a
nurse.
Because the occasion was a
"capping," Miss Riddle felt it necessary to speak briefly on the origin of the nurse's cap. The cap
was once worn to cover the nurse's
hair. Though it is no longer necessary, the cap is now worn as a
symbol.
Twenty-three student nurses were
presented caps at the exercise.
Among this number three were
cited for outstanding performances.
As the sophomore nursing student with the highest scholastic
achievement, Martha J. Linton was
presented the  Dr.   C.   C.   Stewart

NFA Recognizes
B. T. Washington
During Week
The annual observance of National New Farmers of America
Week, set for March 30 through
April 6, will pay special recognition to the late Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and world famous
leader and educator.
Announcement of the observance
was made by Mr. W. T. Johnson,
Sr., national executive treasurer.
One of the advisers to the North
Carolina Association of the organization, Mr. Johnson maintains
headquarters here at A&T College.
The observance coincides with
the birthday of Washington, whose
principles and philosophy the farm
youth organization seeks to promote. While Washington lived, he
urged support among his people
for conservation of national resources, crop rotation and other
agricultural practices, thrift, improved health practices, interracial cooperation, and general economic advancement for the South.
During the week, NFA Chapters
throughout the South will conduct
a series of programs aimed at highlighting the activities of the organization. A statewide radio program
will be presented in Raleigh over
Station WPTF, April 5.
The New Farmers of America
organization, founded at Tuskegee
in 1935, has grown rapidly. It now
has a total membership of 55,889
Negro farm youth in 1,036 chapters
located in 15 southern states.
In addition to its original emphasis, the NFA teaches modern
agricultural practices, better rural
and urban living, and proper use
and care of modern farm machinery.
A one-man art show featuring
Johnny Robinson — artist, poet and
writer — got under way Monday at
the Patio Art and Craft Shop in
the Summit Shopping Center.
The one man show, a first for
Robinson, features twelve pieces of
work by the artist. The works include oils, water colors, inks and
wood cuts.
Robinson, who calls himself an
inspirational painter, said that the
show will run for fifteen days at
the Patio Arts and Craft Shop and
all of the paintings will be for sale
at prices ranging from ten to seventy-five dollars.
When asked why he calls himself
an inspirational painter, Robinson
replied . . . "Well, ... I can paint
ten paintings in a night if I feel
like it; but, in order to paint, I must
be completely isolated. I must be
isolated because I have a tendency
to do what those around me are
doing.   I  cannot  work  this  way."
Having done many paintings
since he first became interested in
painting four years ago, Robinson
said that the paintings now on exhibit include Burning Forest, Nude
in a Bottle, Uganda, the Apartment Seekers, the Budding Spring,
the Fellow Artist, the Interestfd
Student, the Reclining Nude, the
Artist's Hand, Undying Christ (in
wood and ink) and a Visitor to the
Studio.
When asked about Models for his
paintings, Robinson said that the
Fellow Artist was posed for by
Freddie Outterbridge, a senior and
fellow art major, the Reclining
Nude was posed by a Woman's
College Student, the Interested
Student was posed by a young lady
in his class, and the Visitor to the
Studio was posed by a small boy
who came to the studio one day.
The model for the painting of the
Artist's Hand was Robinson's own
left hand.
According to Robinson, his real
interest in art came when he was
watching a Japanese painter work
once when he was in Japan. He said
that, as he watched this painter
work, he became convinced that he
could be just as good and has set
this as one of his goals. He said,
"You know, I believe that, in order
for a man to do anything in life,
he must dedicate himself to one
cause. . . a man must believe in
himself."
"An artist," he continued, "is one
who can sit or stand and do things
without laboring. One who labors
is a craftsman; he knows the
steps and how they are supposed
to be done, but he has to stop and
think about it. . . . an artist doesn't have to think about what he is
going to do next; it comes naturally."
When asked about his favorite
artist, Robinson immediately named Van Gogh. He said that he likes
Van Gogh because he had so much
drive and dedication; to him these
are the most important parts of
painting.
The serious minded, quiet artist
said, "Although, all of my paintings are for sale, I'll be happy if
I  sell  two maybe  three
paintings because for me this will
be some hope."
Although he was tempted at
one time not to return to school,
Robinson said that he decided to
return because in order to be a
really good artist he needs an education.
The talented sophomore is a native of Greensboro and was graduated from Dudley High School.
Since being at A&T College he has
affiliated himself with the REGISTER, the Stylus and early in the
year won third place in the Short
Story Contest sponsored by the
English  Department.
Professionally, Robinson is an
Honor Student with a major in
Fine Arts. He is a member of the
Art Circle and of the Kappa Pi
Fraternity, a newly organized
chapter of the National Art Fraternity which has its only chapter in North Carolina at the Agricultural and Technical College.
International Symposium
Is Attended By Students
Seven students from A&T College
were among a group of students
from colleges and universities in
the United States who attended
an International Student Symposium at the University of North
Carolina in Chapel Hill on March
30.
The symposium was opened with
a welcome address by Mr. William B. Aycock, chancellor of the
university. In his speech the chancellor pointed out that one of the
greatest problems facing man today is the population explosion
in the world. He said that this
problem must be faced with every
courageous effort in finding a solution. He asked the students to be
brave to stand for the right.
Following the opening address a
panel discussion was conducted on
the topic "Issues Facing Students
in the Developing Countries."
Jozar Anwar from Indonesia said
that prior to Independence, the
Dutch Colonies did very little to
train Indonesians for work which
would make them independent of
foreign domination. He said that
today a great program of national
reconstruction in education is going on.
Lee from Korea spoke of the student revolution which overthrew
the corrupt Korean government in
1960.
Muthaiya P. Kandaswamy from
India said his country has 1,050
institutions of higher learning including 49 universities. He said
that before independence the British trained Indians barely to become obedient servants. He said
India was faced with a trend of the
universities adopting local Ian
guages for instruction. This tendency he said was undesirable.
Taraj Adalan from Iran said that
the present government of Iran
is not only unprogressive, but
also surpresses the academic
freedom of the students.
Shintaro Tozaki from Japan discussed the activities of Zengakuren,
the Japanese student movement
which he said is opposed to
nuclear weapons testing. The panel
discussion was followed by questions and general discussions.
At lunch, Mangus Gunther,
former president of the South African National Student Association
spoke on the role the International
Student Conference has played in
the various parts of the world.
The next speaker was Dennis
Shaul, president of NSA who
spoke on the "Concept of Education in Europe and the U.S.A."
Later in the afternoon, the students were entertained at a tea
given by Chancellor and Mrs.
Aycock.
The last speaker for the day was
Bill Welch who was first president
of NSA in 1947. He spoke on
"Issues Facing Students Today."
The A&T delegation was accompanied by Reverend Knighton-
Stanley and Dr. Frank White.
Delegates were Claude Airall, Jonathan Tucker, Winser Alexander,
Eustace Hanoman, Cecil Butler,
Gershwain Johnson, and Moses
Kamara.
