Local Home Ec. Dept. Celebrates
North Carolina Dietetics Week
By EULA M. BATTLE
"For more than twelve years,
my career in dietetics has been
both rewarding and challenging,"
stated Mrs. E. K. Vereen, instructor of institutional management at
A&T CoUege, during a recent celebration of Dietetics Week. "I have
served more than 20,160,000 meals
at approximately one dollar per
day," she said.
Students in the Department of
Home Economics were also enthusiastic about the celebration of
Dietetics Week. They eagerly gave
their viewpoints concerning the
field of dietetics. While some emphasized the opportunity it gives
one to work with others, many
concerned themselves with the salary range - $6,000 per year in
small hospitals to $12,000 in large
institutions.
Contrary to popular beUef, dietetics does offer numerous opportunities for men who seem to steer
away from the profession. Jerry
L. Friday, however, has decided
to face this career squarely. Recently, he became the first man to
apply to a program for dietitians
sponsored by the Air Force. If
Friday's appUcation is accepted,
he wiU begin his internship in
September 1966.
Lionel M. Johnson, a sophomore
institutional management major,
also recognizes the opportunities
for men in the field of dietetics.
Besides the prospect of "good
money", Johnson likes to be around
food and people.
"I'm only a sophomore, but already I am aware of the many opportunities and experiences in the
field of dietetics," states Phyllis
Smith. "Careers in dietetics are
challenging; the salary is increasing, and the work load is becoming Ughter."
"The opportunity for advancement is great!" according to Jean
Lipscomb, a member of the class
of '68.
Lessie Walters, a senior, believes that people "who like to
work with others" would find institutional   management   a   most

rewarding field.
M. Elaine Farrior Ukes travel,
new people, and more money for
less work. Institutional management wiU give her these things
plus good advancement opportunities.
"The field of dietetics is really
booming," says Ella Coleman.
"Who Knows? We might even be
needed on the moon in the near
future."
Odessie Costen looks beyond the
present as she makes the foUowing statement: "As we look into
space, we can see the dietitian
developing good nutritious food
for space travelers."
Dietetics, as a career, offers
many rewarding challenges. It includes the direction of purchase,
preparation, and service of food
for patients and personnel in institutions. As a teacher, the dietitian
can be utiUzed in training and
counseling personnel and instructing patients. He may also serve as
a consultant on a regional or a
nationwide basis.
June   Graduates

GRE  On  April 16
On Saturday, AprU 16, 1966, in
the F. D. Bluford Library from

1:00 P.M. to 4:30 P. M., the Graduate Record Examinations wiU be
administered to all prospective
June graduating seniors who have
not previously taken the tests.
The examinations stress accuracy more than speed. Particular
attention is given to such objectives
as understanding of fundamental
terms and concepts; acquaintance
with basic facts and trends; understanding of cause-and-effect relationships; abUity to draw warranted conclusions; ability to com*
pare and contrast points of view;
and the abUity to understand the
bases for  critical judgments  and

'This is just the first step," said
Mrs. Bessie A. McAllister of
Greensboro, the mother of five,
who last week received a certificate for having completed the 12-
week course in nurse's aid in the
A&T College Project UpUft.
She was a member of a class of
41-heads of famiUes, educationaUy
deprived, who during the past three
months had participated in one of
several vocational retraining programs operated at the coUege under the sponsorship of the Manpower, Development and Training
Act, and the Office of Manpower,
Automation and Training, Washington, D. C.
It was graduation day for three
of the trainee programs in nurse's
aid, clothing alteration and custodian-janitor. Other programs, requiring more time, including carpentry, auto mechanics, auto body
repair, bricklaying and cooking,
wiU continue for 14 additional
weeks.
Mrs. McAUister wishes to become a professional nurse and,
according to her, "wUl never be
satisfied with anything less." The
idea of becoming a nurse first
came to her when she was a pa
ss
tient for five years in a tuberculosis sanitorium. "I saw there,"
she said, "the great need for
nurses and the part they play in
restoring human beings to health."
Her case was arrested and she
returned home to her famUy abuot
a year ago.
Mrs. McAllister readily admits
that she has been highly motivated
by her experiences during the past
few weeks and hopes to return to
school to be trained for a professional career in nursing.
Although she has not completed
the full high school course, Mrs.
McAllister believes that her studies and reading whUe in the sanitorium have prepared her for a
high school equivalence examination.
DR.  SAMUEL D. PROCTOR
Dr. S. D. Proctor
Writes New Book
On Negro Youth
Where is the young Negro headed? What will come after the demonstrations, the sit-ins, the sermons
and legislation? Dr. Samuel D.
Proctor in his new book "The
Young Negro in America, 1960-
1980" (Association Press; $3.95;
May 27) appraises the chances of
his race to make good the threats
and promises of these desperate —
and hopeful — years that began
with the jaiUng of Negro college
students in 1960.
How far, Dr. Proctor asks, will
the young Negro seek to go by
1980? What will it require on his
part? How prepared is he to pay
the price? What wUl it require of
business, government, religion,
education, and other social institutions? WiU the response be adequate? His answer to these
questions can contribute to a
framework for the new democracy
in America which he and all men
of goodwill envision.
"The Young Negro in America,
1960-1980" is about:
1. The Emergence of the Young
Negro, 00
The bid for a new emancipation . . . The influence of earlier demonstrations . . . The
adult   Negro   community    in

Another "graduate" had kind
words for Project UpUft. "With
the privUeges we have today, it is
no need to say that we cannot make
it," said Mrs. Gertrude Gray, also
of Greensboro, who completed the
course m Custodian-Janitor trainee.
He spoke at the graduation program, representing the entire
class.
These two probably expressed
the opinion of a majority of the
trainees, many of whom were receiving a certificate for the first
time in their Uves, but more important, new confidence, new hope
and a new view on Ufe, itself.
Three of the trainees were
smgled out for special recognition
for having exceUed in the studies.
