McClenney, President Of St. Paul's College,
To Receive 1966 Alumni Achievement Award
Official notification has been sent
to President Earl H. McClenney of
Saint Paul's College that the General Alumni Association of his
Alma Mater, the Agricultural and
Technical College, has unanimously
voted to present him with its 1966
Alumni Achievement award.
The association's executive secretary, Ellis F. Corbett, said in the
letter of notification:
"You may be interested to learn
that this is the first award of its
kind to be presented by A&T alumni. For a number of years, we have
given the annual Alumni Service
Award, but the new one serves altogether another purpose, envisioned to recognize those A&T men and
women who have achieved beyond
the ordinary . . .
"Please accept my congratulations, not only for the recognition
which your fellow alumni have
given you, but for the vision, ingenuity, and service you have given
to mankind to reflect great credit
upon the Alma Mater."
The trustees of Saint Paul's
elected Dr. McClenney as the third
head of the 78-year-old private,
Episcopal-related college in 1950.
In 1954 the honorary degree of
Doctor of Laws was bestowed upon
Dr. McClenney by A&T College.
Presentation of the plaque, emblematic of the achievement award,
is to be made at the annual Founders' Day observance at A&T College on Tuesday, November 1, at
9:00 A.M., according to Mr. Corbett.
Following his graduation from
A&T with a Bachelor of Science
degree, Dr. McClenney received a
Master of Science degree from
Cornell University. He has done
additional study in the graduate
field.
Before entering A&T, he studied
at Talladega (Ala.) College and the
Lincoln Normal School at Marion,
Ala., his place of birth. He has also
done special graduate work at
Pennsylvania State College.
Prior to assuming his present
position, he was president of Votr-
hees College, Denmark, S. C, from
1947 to 1950.
Dr. McClenney has served as a
member of the North Carolina Interracial Commission and South
Carolina Citizens Committee of the
South Carolina Area Schools. He is
currently serving as a member of
the Virginia Advisory Committee
on Schools and Colleges, vice chairman of the Association of Episcopal
Colleges, Citizens Committee of the
Virginia Teachers Association, and
Reporter Covers Canteen
From Other Points Of View
By EVELYN LOUISE PARKER
A number of articles have been
written about the canteen from the
student's view point, but we've
never had the view point of the
man behind the scene.
In a recent interview with Mr.
Wayne Talbert, manager of the
canteen, and some of his co-workers, several questions were asked.
What do you think of the so-called
regulars in the canteen? Mr. Talbert replied, "I don't think there
really are any regulars because
people like service men and graduates who aren't in school always
come back to the canteen. Everybody comes into the canteen at one
time oj^nother."
Do pw"think that the canteen
serves as a hindrance to the student? Mr. Talbert replied, "I don't
think it serves as a hindrance because it's a place where students
can relax or play a game of chess.
On Saturdays they are allowed
to play a game of cards. Some
of the brightest students in school
come in."
"The student government has
had a meeting here and the English Department once held classes
here. If I thought it was a hindrance to the students, I wouldn't
stay open from 7:00 in the morning
until 12:00 P.M."
Other members of the canteen
staff had this to say about this
question. Naomi Campbell said,
"I don't think so because it is up
to them to stay or leave. No one
is forcing them to stay. We are
here to serve the public, not to
interfere with their studies."
Miss Ezzie Gore said, "It gives
them some place to spend their
leisure time."
What advice do you have for our
readers, Mr. Talbert? "It takes
four years to get out of school, unless there is some specialized field
or trade. I think that if they would
treat the students as adults they
wouldn't have any trouble out of
them. With these many students
there's bound to be a little disturbance at times."

Students   Attend
Phi  Beta  Lambda
Nat'l  Convention
"Just the idea of having gone
to New Orleans and seen the city
was an educational experience in
itself," said Nannie Kearney, state
secretary of Phi Beta Lambda, in
recollection of her trip to the annual national convention held in
Louisiana.
Jesse Lanier, president of the
local chapter of Phi Beta Lambda,
felt the divisional meeting of the
"political figures" held more interest for him.
"It was like a real political convention," said Jesse. "Each candidate was trying every 'trick in
the book' to get as many votes as
possible."
(This is the collective summary
presented to the local members oi
Phi Beta Lambda at their recent
meeting.)
"The political maneuvers seemed to have been well rehearsed, yet
they were believable; they were
real," continued Jesse.
Besides being caught up in politics, Jesse and Nannie were able
to exchange ideas with business
students from colleges and universities across the nation. Among
those schools represented were the
following: East Carolina College,
Louisburg College, Cerritos Junior
College, Kansas State College,
Grambling College, Virginia State
College, and Campbell College.
The French quarters was the
highlight of Jesse's and Nannie's
tour of the city of New Orleans.
It s.ightly amazed them to see
horse-drawn carriages in this section.
Still more amazing, however, was
New Orleans' main street. The main
street (Canal Street) has six lanes,
and it is reputed to be the world's
widest street. There are four lanes
for automobiles and two for buses.
This seemingly eliminates some of
the traffic problems experienced in
other cities.
Jesse and Nannie were accompanied to New Orleans by Mrs.
Katie Dorsett, adviser to Phi Beta
Lambda and instructor of business
at A&T College.
Freshmen were inducted into the
club, and plans for the 1966-1967
school year were introduced to
them at a recent meeting.
The various activities listed on
the proposed program of Phi Beta
Lambda include field trips, group
discussions, distinguished speakers,
participation in the homecoming
parade, and the purchase of bicycles to be rented to students.
The executive committee asks
that each member support the organization wholeheartedly to make
this a successful year.
Bloodmobile
On   Campus
November 8 and 9
The homecoming committee held
its third and most decisive meeting
on Tuesday, October 11, in the Taylor Art Gallery of Bluford Library
with Mr. Jimmie I. Barber, chairman, officiating.
The committee as a whole decided on a downtown route for the
1966 Homecoming Parade. Much
consideration was given to ROTC
units and bands who will cover
the route on foot, as has been done
in many previous parades. The
student morale and expectant organizational reactions to the parade
route was also a factor which required a great deal of consideration.
At any rate, the committee unanimously agreed upon the following
route: leave the campus to Market Street, continue west on
Gaston Street to Elm Street, continue south on Elm Street to
Washington Street, continue east on
Washington Street to Davie Street,
continue south on Davie to Market
Street, continue east on Market
Street to Pearson Street, continue
north on Pearson Street to Oakmont
Street, and continue on Oakmont
to the stadium.
Other items of interest decided
upon  by the   committee  were   to
place greater emphasis on alumni
and student participation in the
homecoming events. A special welcoming at the train station for
alumni by the students and college
officials is in the planning stage.
Much emphasis will be placed on
alumni registration and recognition,
as should be the case in an event
which is centered around the returning of alumni to their alma
mater.
The homecoming festivities will
have most of the traditional activities. Included among these are a
coronation ball, an alumni breakfast, a homecoming ball, the annual
alumni worship service, contests in
the areas of dormitory decoration,
floats, campus display, and posters.
Needless to say, there will be a
big homecoming game when the
A&T College Aggies clash with the
Morgan State Bears. The halftime
show for this game is a promising
one.
Final plans concerning time and
place of previously mentioned activities will be announced in the
October 21 edition of THE REGISTER.
Faculty members in the Department of English meet their majors and
minors during a social hour in Cooper Hall.

In an effort to acquaint the
English majors and minors and the
English faculty with each other, the
Department of EngUsh held a "Get-
Acquainted-Hour" in the Cooper
Hall lounge last Sunday.
Mrs. Carrye Hill Kelley, chairman of the social committee, presided. The activities began with an
informal reception Une to familiarize the students with the faculty.
Following the introduction of the
faculty and the students, Mrs.
Catherine Copeland, entertained the
audience with her personal rendition of a vocabulary game.
Because so many students express a dislike for poetry, Mrs.
Kelley arranged for members of
one of the humanities classes to tell
the myths which inspired certain
poets to write. The discussants included PhyUstine Good, Cynthia
Moore, Virginia AUen, Yvette
Roberts, Sandra Carlton, and Margaret Shivers.
Highlighting the program was
the dramatic performance of one
of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poems
by Mrs. Copeland. Mr. James
Wooten assisted Mrs. Copeland in
her performance.
Dr. W. C. Daniel, Chairman of
the Department of English, gave
concluding remarks. He expressed
a desire to see a closer relationship between the students and
faculty in the department.
Refreshments were served following the activities of the evening.
Health Director Reveals Plans
To Improve Health Services
By EULA M. BATTLE
Dr. Theodore Bunch, recently
named director of health services
at A&T, states that he has definite
plans for the improvement of health
services at the coUege.
His overall objective is to broaden the scope of the clinic operations
and to allow for more intensive
therapeutic service.
To accomplish this aim, the college purchased new instruments;
and even though an ample supply
of drugs was in the infirmary
medicine chest, Dr. Bunch said,
"Everyone has his own preference;
therefore, I have made some sub
stitutions  and ordered  some  new
drugs."
Continuing, he stated, "I am
alarmed at the prevalence of certain preventable diseases on campus." He mentioned several that
plague not only A&T but other college campuses as well. To aUevi-
ate this problem on A&T's campus,'
Dr. Bunch proposes to institute
seminars, discussion groups, ana
films. These plans, however, will
not materiaUze until the beginning
of November.
Dr. Bunch said that each student,
interested in his own health, sho- Id
