Work On Union
Will Commence
During Summer
The long-talked of Student Union
building may soon become a reality.
It was announced this week that
the building of the student union
will commence this summer. This
was revealed by the architects who
designed the plan of the building.
The announcement came at a
meeting of some faculty, staff, and
students called by the president ol
A&T College, Dr. Samuel Proctor,
to discuss the plans of the proposed
student union building.
Dr. Proctor stated that the North
Carolina legislature has authorized
the Board of Trustees of the college
to borrow money from the government or rasie bonds to erect the
building.
The President recalled that the
plan for erecting a union building
was delayed when the 1961 bond
issue was defeated.
It was revealed by Dr. Proctoi
that the building and furnishings
will cost $1,400,000.
According to the tentative plans,
the union building will be located
on the north campus facing Sullivan Street. The massive structure
will provide adequate facilities for
5,000 students.
The two-storied union will stand
at the head of a quadrangle. The
ground floor will have storage for
textbooks, a large lounge, a chapel,
a listening room, a meeting room
with 150 seat capacity, and snack
shops.
Provision is also to be made for
another assembly room to seat 700
persons. This room will have port-

New   Procedures
Quota For Bloodmobile Is Met; Are Announced
Community Donates 423 Pints
Members of the A&T College
community wrote a new page in
the history books Tuesday and
Wednesday when they turned out
in record numbers to make contributions to the visiting blood
bank. A total of 423 pints were collected.
The bloodmobile spent two days
on campus. Headed by Lt. Col.
William Goode, professor of military science, a committee coordinating the visit had earlier set its
quota at 400 pints. The committee's concentrated effort resulted
in the quota being met and surpassed by 23 pints.
Lt. Col. Goode, who had commented earlier that support from
all areas of the college would be
necessary, received that support.
This year's total surpasses last
year's high of 262 pints by 161
pints.
One student, Arthur Moultrie,
received the gallon pin for having
donated a gallon of blood over a
period of years.
Members of the Army ROTC Battalion also demonstrated overwhelming support of the program
and their commander. Each company competed against the other
to see which had the best participation; the reward for the top company was a day off from Tuesday
drill.
Headquarters company, walked
away with first place. Forty-seven
pints of blood, from 61 per cent of
the company, were collected, William Davis is commander of the
company.

In   Publication
Latest developments in a scientific research project being conducted at A&T College are described in
a recent issue of the JOURNAL
OF THE ELISHA MITCHELL
SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY.
The paper, entitled, "The Methyl
Carbon of Methionine As A Source
Of Carbon In Cholesterol," is the
seventh report on the investigation, "Utilization Of Methionine By
The Adult Rat."
The research is being conducted
by Dr. Cecile H. Edwards, professor of nutrition and research in
the Department of Home Economics; Dr. Gerald A. Edwards,
professor and chairman of the Department of Chemistry, and Miss
Evelyn L. Gadsden, research assistant, who are co-authors of the
paper.
The project is supported by the
National Institutes of Health.
Other papers which have been
published on the project include:
"Distribution Of The Alpha Carbon
Of DL-Methionine-2-C14 In Tissues,

was a close second with 46 pints
or 52.8 per cent participation. Other
company totals included Company
D, 39 pints or 46.9 per cent; Company C, 40 pints or 33.9 per cent;
and Company A, 42 pints or 38.5
per cent.
The Army cadets were not by
themselves. Faculty personnel
members of Buildings and
Grounds, and a representative number of women students also made
their contributions. Sgt. Hubert
Glenn, a member of the Army
ROTC staff, got things started by
contributing the first pint. From
Sgt. Glenn on, Nurses had a hard
time keeping up with the lines as
eager contributors virtually flowed
into the Cooper Hall headquarters.
The blood will be utilized by the
Piedmont Blood Center. Donations
entitle donors to free blood at any
hospital served by the center.
Special Teams
To Visit Campus
During Week
Governor Terry Sanford has declared February 16-22 Peace Corps
Week in North Carolina. During the
week special Peace Corps, teams
from Washington, D. C, will visit
colleges and universities throughout the state. The team will visit
A&T February 17, 18, and 19.
The purpose of the visit, said
Peace Corps officials, is to interpret a record number of opportunities for Peace Corps service,
as well as to supply general information to students and faculty.
Plans are being made to set up
Peace Corps Information centers
at some central sites on each of
the campuses. The centers will be
manned by Peace Corps staff members.
The Peace Corps team will administer the non-competitive Placement Test several times daily during their stay. Peace Corps questionnaires must be completed before one takes the test, said the
Peace Corps officials.
Those thinking of applying should
fill out a questionnaire and submit
it to the Peace Corps representative upon taking the test. Applications may be obtained in advance
from the Peace Corps liason on
each campus. Mr. Hardy Liston is
the liason for this campus.
While this special information
effort is primarily for college upperclassmen and graduate students, it is also aimed to provide
general information to all interested persons in the community.
The Peace Corps plans to train
approximately 6000 volunteers from
this summer to serve in Africa,
Asia and Latin America. More
than 80 volunteers from North
Carolina are currenty serving overseas. Six have returned after completing their two-year assignments.

Eure, Secretary of State, at the
Capitol Room of the Heart of Raleigh Motel along with two other
appointees. The induction ceremony
was attended by the Governor who
gave a description of the work of
the Commission and its importance
as a State agency. All members of
the Commission were present.
Dr. Robinson is a native of
Arkansas. He did his undergraduate study at Wilberforce University and graduate work at Atlanta University. He received his
Ph.D. at Ohio State University. Dr.
Robinson lists hunting among his
favorite sports.
Dr. Robinson, whose term on the
Commission expires on July 1,1964,
said of this appointment: "I am
happy to be able to contribute what
I can to the State in the program
of recreation. I am very pleased to
be able to serve."
