Election Rules Are Changed;
Average For Prexy Now 2.50
Late last week, the Election
Committee announced that the
qualifications required for persons
A&T Coed
Receives Grant To
Study In France
Information recently received
from the Institute for American
Universities in Aix-en Provence,
France, indicated that Bobbie J.
Bailey has been awarded a scholarship to study there for the coming
year.
The scholarship awarded on the
basis of academic achievement will
cover the tuition and expenses of
the A&T College senior while she
studies courses designed to fulfill
the requirements for the masters
degree in French.
Miss Bailey, a French major, and
currently doing student teaching at
Dudley High School, lists her home
as Winston-Salem. While at the college she has been active in several
campus activities and is currently
president of the local chapter of the
Pi Delta Phi National French Society. A member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, she is a member of the French Club, the James
B. Dudley Chapter of Student NEA
and has been a majorette in the
college band.
According to Miss Bailey, she
is scheduled to leave for France
sometime in July.
seeking Student Council and class
positions in the coming elections as
well as the deadline for submitting
applications had been changed.
Actions taken last week resulted
in extension of the deadline from
6:30 P.M. on Wednesday, April 17,
to midnight, Monday, April 22.
The deadline extension was required due to a lack of applicants
for the various positions. When
the original deadline was reached
last Wednesday, only two applications for the five Student Council
positions and six for the twenty
one class positions had been received. A conference between
Claude Airall, chairman of the
Election Committee, and Dr. Glenn
Rankin, dean of students, resulted
in the deadline extension.
A check with the dean of
students also revealed that the requirements for Student Council officers and Miss A&T which the
committee had released last week
were not in accord with the official
constitution of the Student Government. It was thought that the
changes were included in a constitutional amendment which was
reported to have been made in the
spring of 1958. No records of any
such changes could be discovered;
consequently, requirements for
candidates revert to those included in the constitution printed in the
Student Handbook of 1958-1960.
Information earlier released by
the Election Committee had required candidates for the presidency to have an average record of
2.75 scholastically, be a member
of the incoming senior class, ana
have been in attendance at this
institution for at least two years.
Revised requirements, however,
require an average record of 2.50
and membership in the junior class
at the time of election and the senior class during the term of office.
No mention is made of the amount
of time in attendance at the institution.
Instead of the 2.75 average earlier listed by the committee, candidates for the position of vice
president of the Student Council
are required to have a 2.00 average
record. Ag_ earlier required, however, he must be a member of the
incoming junior or senior class.
