Grad. Program
Offers Masters
In Nutrition
A new graduate program, leading to the degree of master of
science in foods and nutrition, is
to be offered at A&T CoUege beginning with the fall semester in
September.
Announcement of the new offering was made last week by Dr.
Lewis C. Dowdy, president of the
College, following approval by the
North Carolina Board of Higher
Education.
The program, to be operated
under the Department of Home
Economics, has for its purposes to
prepare qualified persons for careers as teachers of foods and nutrition, research technicians in
foods and nutrition, clinical nutritionists, and in industry for such
areas as food testing, food demonstration and food journalism.
In support of the proposal for the
new program, Dr. Dowdy said
America's involvement in providing assistance and food to the
underdeveloped nations of the
world, increasing food requirements here at home, science and
research important to solving dietary problems of low income
famiUes, and increasingly unfUled
personnel needs for food scientists
and researchers by both industry
and government, aU combined to
influence installation of the program at A&T.
To qualify for the degree, the
student is to be required to complete 30-semester hours of credit,
and to include the writing of a
thesis.
Besides the new degree, A&T
College offers, through its Graduate School, the foUowing: Master
of Science in Chemistry and Master of Science in Education, with
concentrations in the industrial
arts, agricultural education, guidance and counseling, school administration, chemistry, biology,
social sciences, history, EngUsh
and mathematics.
Dean Announces
Emergency Exits
For Hodgin Hall
"Our experience of Monday,
March 7, with the bomb scare reveals the need for a predetermined
method by which Hodgin HaU can
be evacuated," states Dr. Arthur
F. Jackson, dean of the School of
Education and General Studies.
Members of the faculty, students,
and staff members should be
aware of the method being established by Dean Jackson to avoid
confusion and/or injury.
In case of an emergency evacuation, all persons should be cautioned to clear the buUding entirely. No one should stop until he is
beyond Curtis Hall or/and Bluford
Library.
When the need to evacuate
arises, persons in the basement
will exit via the side door which
faces Curtis Hall.
The front door of Hodgin facing
Bluford Library wiU be used by
persons on the first floor.
AU persons on the second floor
will exit by using the stairway and
the door nearest Curtis Hall.
The stairway and door adjacent
to Market Street will be used by
persons on the third floor.
This method of evacuation should
be kept in mind. Practical use wiU
enable aU persons to evacuate the
building both safely and rapidly.

Purple Heart Highlights Military Ceremony
By  PATRICIA LANIER
The Army Reserve Officers
Training Corps of the Agricultural
and Technical CoUege held a military ceremony on March 10 to
award posthumously the "Purple
Heart" and "Bronze Star" medals
to the parents of Second Lieutenant William E. Davis, Jr. The
ceremony was actually held for a
dual purpose; the other being the
HaU of Fame Dedication which
also featured Lieutenant Davis.
Second Lieutenant William E.
Davis received his commission
from the Army upon graduation on
June of 1964, from A&T. He was
a Sociology major who was working as a counselor at Cherry Youth
Center, Goldsboro, North CaroUna
at the time of his induction in the
Army.
As Lt. Col. Harold Lanier, professor of mUitary science, presented the Davis Family with the
outstanding merits of achievement
Lieutenant Davis received for services "above and beyond the call
of duty," Lt. Col. Herbert Parker,
assistant professor of military
science, read the citations presented by Headquarters Department of the Army, Washington, D.
C. Lieutenant Davis received the
"Purple Heart" for the wounds he
received in action in Vietnam on
December 10, 1965. He received the
"Bronze Star" for his display of
outstanding heroism while serving
as Platoon Leader on a "Search
and Destroy" operation in the vicinity of Di-an Vietnam.
Lieutenant Davis  and  his  com
pany were in the midst of intense
fire when Davis took it upon him-
seU to crawl within 15 meters of
the deadly shelling by an estimated 20 Viet Cong. He unsuccessfully threw one grenade failing to
neutralize the bunker. Upon his
second attempt, Davis crawled
closer to the range of fire and
raised to throw the grenade only
to be struck down immediately
with a shower of buUets kiUing
him. Davis was commended for
his outstanding display of aggressiveness and devotion to duty and
personal bravery keeping with the
finest tradition of MiUtary Service
by the United States Army in receiving two of the most distinguished medals to be awarded to
a soldier.
The HaU of Fame Dedication,
which also featured Davis, marked
the beginning of a memorable
event. The Hall of Fame was
established to honor those officer
graduates who have contributed
outstanding achievements in the
enhancement of the ROTC Program and image of the Agricultural and Technical CoUege whUe on
active duty.
There are two plaques hanging
in Campbell Hall in dedication to
these outstanding officers. One is
engraved with the following inscription — "Dedicated to the
Army ROTC Graduate Officers of
this institution whose scholastic
performance at their Branch
Orientation Schools has contributed
to a better image of A&T College."
The following names are included
thus far: William H. Hardy, 1954;
Charles D. Bussey, 1955; Paul M.
McGuire, 1958; WiUiam T. Water-
mann, 1959; George A. Waters,
1960; Matthew Minnicks, 1961;
Chapin Horton, 1962; Ernest L.
Simmons, 1963; Ethbert S. Carr,
Jr., 1964.
The only outstanding Army RO
TC Graduate officer who performed scholastic achievement at his
Branch School present at the ceremony was Charles D. Bussey who
is a Major on active duty. He is
serving as professor of military
science of aU high schools with an
ROTC Program in Indianapolis,
Indiana.
The second plaque is inscribed
"Dedicated to the Army Officer
Graduates of the A&T College of
North Carolina who have distinguished themselves by outstanding
performances of duty in the service of their country." There are
but two names on this plaque up
to this point — WUUam E. Davis,
Jr., 1964; WUliam B. Neal, 1950.
The two plaques that are inscribed with the merits of outstanding achievements mentioned
above, along with portraits of the
persons installed, will be permanently affixed in CampbeU HaU.
Tutorial Program Offers Help To
Elementary And High School Students
A Tutoring Program known as
GUTS — The Greensboro United
Tutorial Services — has been offering help to elementary, junior high
school, and high school students
who wish to be tutored in any subject. Students who participate in
GUTS as tutors come from many
of the coUeges and universities in
the Greensboro area.
The coUege students meet with
their individual "tutees" for two
hour sessions once a week in one
of several tutoring sites in the
community. Teaching in subjects of
their own interest, the tutors most
often help students who are having
difficulty with their reading skills;
other popular subjects are social
studies, mathematics and science.
GUTS was established because
of some major educational problems existing in the Greensboro
Public Schools. The reading levels
of these students do not measure
up to those in other communities.
GUTS is attempting to combat
these problems through a one-to-
one tutor-tutee relationship.
GUTS offers an opportunity for
college and elementary, junior high
school, high school students of different backgrounds to get together
for their mutual advantage. YOU
are welcome to participate as a
tutor. It can be discouraging at
times, but it also has proved to be
an exciting and rewarding experience for many tutors and "tutees."

During the elimination period,
fourteen classes of livestock were
judged. The highest possible score
for any one student within this
period was 1400 points.
Eugene Jones of Mebane was
the top ranking man in the campus contest with 1095 points and
David Spaulding of Clarkton ran
second with 1080 points. Jones and
Spaulding are sophomores majoring in agricultural education.
Johnnie Jones, senior agronomy
major of Trenton and a third year
veteran traveling with the team,
is holding the third position with

Holding weU in fourth place and
believed to be one of the great
sparks for the regionals is Lincoln
Blanding, sophomore, agricultural
economics major of Manning,
South Carolina. He achieved 1035
points locaUy.
The team for this season, as seen
by others that participated, is one
of the strongest to represent the

will depart from the campus
March 22, for Alabama A&M College.
