TUCC recently installed an IBM
System/360 Model 75 computer.
To date, $292,000 has been committed for the N. C. Computer
Orientation Project, established by
the board of higher education to
enable public and private colleges
throughout North Carolina to offer their students instruction in
the use of computers.
Grants have been received from
the Carnegie Corporation, Burlington Industries Foundation, the Z.
Smith Reynolds Foundation, Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company, the Mary Reynolds Bab-
cock Foundation, the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and the State
Board of Higher Education.
Under the program, TUCC will
be able to extend its services not
only to the Research Triangle area
but as far as the Atlantic and the
Appalachians.
The college will be linked to
TUCC through telephone lines.
Each participating institution will
be furnished a teletype terminal
on its campus and a modest
amount of communication and computer time. The project will offer
the institutions a one-year trial
period of computing service without charge. '■
It is hoped the North Carolina
Computer Orientation Project will
produce an educational breakthrough by bringing computer
technology to the campuses across
the state years ahead of normal
timing.
In charge of arrangements for
the meet was Dr. Arthur F. Jackson, dean of the A&T School of
Education and General Studies and
former director of the A&T Data
Processing Center.

Legs Get Much Attention Temple U. Offers Grads A Chance
To Earn While They Learn
Wonder what the spring fashion
will be like? Well, here are a few
valuable hints.
You may not believe it, but it is
predicted that the skirts will continue their rising spree. Women
will be accepted in slacks practically everywhere. And would you
like to believe that paper clothing
are coming into existence?
Yes, this is going to be quite
an exciting year hi the world of
fashions. As we look at those mini
skirts, it appears that much attention should be given to the appearance of the legs. Young women
should use stockings that do a
great deal for the legs. Decals and
pasties are also recommended.
Young women should no longer
have fear of wearing pants and
feeling out of place. There are
pants for practically any occasion.
They   are   designed   so   right  for
women that one can only be admired instead of being whispered
about in them.
Suits for women are predicted
to be quite popular also. These
suits are complemented with
blouses. One of the more popular
coat shapes will be the back-flaring
tent fitted in front.
In the way of shoes, there will
be the chunky heel, paris buckle,
and open back. The lower heel
shoes are designed for those skirts
that rise higher and higher above
the knees. There is also a new
kind of footwear where a mesh
stocking is attached to a sole and
heel, minus the upper.
Some of the favorite colors will
be sunny yellows, cural reds,
various greens, and tangerine.
There you have some of the
ideas for spring. Be bold and adventuresome and get out and be in
the swing of this fashionable world.
Temple University is offering
graduate students who would like
to go into the teaching field an
opportunity to earn while they
learn.
The University has established an
intern teaching program for college graduates who have pursued
a liberal education with emphasis
on preparation in a specific subject area. No education courses
are required for a student to enroll in the intern teaching program.
This on-the-job training program
is designed to accommodate the
needs of those persons who have
had little or no professional training and who wish to become teach
ers. Applicants may prepare for
either secondary teaching or special education teaching. Those ac^
cepted attend a summer orientation course at Temple University^
In the fall interns are placed in
teaching positions in city or suburban schools. They earn up tq
$6,100 while they are preparing for
their master's degree in their specific subject area and professional
certification.

Frosh Receive Option Of Deferred Grading
— Palo Alto, Calif. - (I.P.) — Opportunities for Stanford University
freshmen to take English and
Western Civilization on a "deferred grading" basis have been
greatly expanded this year. Under
this plan, students have the option
of waiting until they complete these
required courses before they receive a single grade covering a
full year's work.
Previously offered only in the
honors section of Western Civilization, this "deferred grading" option
has been chosen by nearly half
those taking Freshman English
and about a third of those in
Western Civilization. In addition,
all freshmen this year have been
assigned to sections of these two
basic courses according to their
residence unit.
Each men's house is combined
with a wing of a freshman women's
residence, and their teachers are
encouraged to join them for meals.
This change extends a pattern tried
experimentally last year with half
the English and Western Civilization sections. Surveys by the Undergraduate Dean's Office showed
a majority of men favored this
emphasis on residential living
groups studying together, although
women were somewhat less enthusiastic.
Recognizing the improved caliber
of Stanford students, the Freshman English program this year
will give grades "somewhere in
the 'B' range" for "average, conscientious work" and encourage
students to read more about higher education and other current
topics, according to Professor Albert Guerard, co-director of the
program.
The most common aim of Freshman English is to teach students
to write clear, expository prose, he
notes. Yet no single method has
a clearly demonstrable effect on
this ability.
Several colleges, including Stanford, regard an intelligent, sensitive  reading  of serious literature
as one objective of this course,
Professor Guerard adds. "In some
colleges, the reading is almost entirely in the classics of earlier
periods. This historical approach,
at the freshman level, has proved
singularly unsuccessful with students who do not intend to go into
the humanities.
"At Stanford, the present emphasis in Freshman English is on
contemporary writing or earlier
works of clear contemporary relevance."
Professor Guerard hopes the new
suggested grading practices will
relieve "the common shock of receiving low grades and severe
criticism for the first time." He
believes this shock can have
"serious and often lasting" consequences: "The student may
quickly give up his high ambitions
and his sense of intellectual excitement." (The introduction of
pass-fail grades and deferred
grading are steps in the same direction.)
