Honor  Graduate
Begins New Duties
As Dean Of Women
Mrs. LuciUe J. Piggott, an honor
graduate of A&T CoUege and the
University of North Carolina at
Greensboro, has been named dean
of women at A&T.

probably served temporarily in this

stenographer in the Office of the
President and more recently secretary to the dean of instruction.

Pi National Business Education
Fraternity, Who's Who in American Coleges and Universities, and
the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
In March of this year, as graduate student at UNC-G, she was
initiated into Delta Pi Epsilon, an
honor society for business education majors.
The new dean's enthusiasm about
her duties and her concern for the
welfare of students are probably
best reflected by her philosophy
that the student comes first, to
view of this, she extends an invitation to students, with or without
problems, to visit her office.
Beneath her easy smile and her
ready sense of humor is a seriousness that is contagious. With praise
for her predecessor and the cooperation of students and personnel,
Mrs. Piggott believes that, she as
an alumna, she can be a better
dean at A&T CoUege then at any
other institution.

REGISTER Editor
Attends Workshop
At  U.  Of  Minn.
WUUam Goode, editor of the
REGISTER, attended a coUege
publications workshop at the University of Minnesota this summer.
He was the only Negro editor present.
The workshop, sponsored by the
University's School of JournaUsm
and the Associated Collegiate
Press, ran for two weeks, from
June 14-25.
Students represented such colleges as the U. of Mass., CathoUc
U., Berry CoUege, U. of Minn.,
Siena College, Union College, and
many more.
It was an intensive session in
which the editor received a chance
to study the files of AU-American
and first class coUegiate publications from throughout the country.
He was also given the opportunity
to exchange ideas with other college newspaper staff members.
In addition to the workshop in
the afternoons, there were "shirtsleeve" sessions in the mornings
in photography, typography, and
lay-out which were optional to the
students.
To gain experience in various
aspects of the newspaper business,
the students were given the foUowing assignments: to take pictures
iUustrating work, play, love, hate,
anger, and others. The students
attended and reported on a speech
by Louis Lomax, the Negro author,
and they made a photo scrapbook
and did newspaper lay-out.
However, the workshop was not
all work. There were jazz sessions
on campus as well as dances,
plays, and concerts; and there
were recreation areas for table
tennis and pool.
MRS. LUCILLE J. PIGGOTT
Arlene MacUn, Rawlings, Va., a rising junior in engineering physics
here at A&T, has been awarded a full expense scholarship to study for
one year at the University of Munich, Munich, Germany, beginning this
faU.
This summer she worked as a research assistant on a study of X-ray
diffraction of cadmium-magnesium aUoys being conducted at A&T under
support of the National Science Foundation.
Here Arlene is shown working with Albert Cheek, Greensboro, and
Johnnie Richardson, Farmville, N. C, both research assistants in the
A&T College Department of Physics. They are shown working with a
new Single Channel Analyzer, an expensive group of physics laboratory
equipment which is on loan to the coUege by the Argonne National Laboratory of Argonne, Illinois.
issued Saturday, September 18, to
President L. C. Dowdy which, in
substance, proclaimed "An Aggie
on the Go Week" which encompasses the theme: Aggies on the
Go for Leadership, Scholarship.
The Proclamation was presented
directly after the Saturday night
movies and a raUy for school spirit
were held in Harrison Auditorium.
FoUowing the rally, George Stevens, president of the Student Government read the proclamation and
led the participants by candle
light to ' President Dowdy's Residence, "The Oaks."
Each participating student carried a Ughted candle and sang the
Alma Mater following the presentation of the Proclamation, President Dowdy responded that the
event was a pleasant surprise and
he hoped that the students would
respond to the chaUenge offered by
the Proclamation. He responded by
inviting the student leaders to a
"Steak Cook-Out" in the backyard
of "The Oaks."
INITIAL SPEECH
The substance of Steven's first
speech to the students at large
served as an invitation to student
participation and as a challenge to
students' resourcefulness. He stated that the role of the student has
changed since the last generation.
Student involvement in local, state,
national, and internatioal issues is
essential for the advancement of today's youth.
MAJOR CONCERN
The major concerns of the Student Government for the faU semester are (1) more involvement
of A&T CoUege with other coUeges
in the area; (2) the introduction of
"intercollegiate scholastic competition among the community colleges; (3) closer student-faculty relationship. There wiU be attempts
to counter the depersonalization
of students that seems to be taking
place as the coUege grows larger.
In order to make himself better
qualified to serve as President of
the Student Government, Stevens
attended a summer institute for
student government presidents at
the University of Wisconsin. In
spite of numerous helpful exper-
ences, Stevens was most expressed
by the power of organized students
who can create such incidents as
those at the University of CaU-
fornia.
Student government for 1965-66
promises to be progressive and an
asset to A&T. The harmonious cry
from advisers and officers alike is
for student co-operation and participation.
A&T STUDENT'S ISSUE PROCLAMATION
George Stevens, Jr., center, a Greensboro, senior and president of the
A&T CoUege Student Government, presents to Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, president of the college, a proclamation caUing upon A&T students for "com-
structive leadership, qualitative scholarship, and effective citizenship,"
during the academic year.
