Comm. Seeks To Prepare Students
For April 15th FSEE Examination
"We are aiming at the April 15
test date. That is our target," said
Dr. T. Mahaffey, chairman of the
Federal Service Entrance Fxami-
nation Committee (FSEE).
In seeking to encourage more
students to prepare successfully
for the FSEE, the coordinating
committee proposes to adequately
publicize the FSEE, to organize
and supervise FSEE — oriented
study. Class will be held on Monday, March 13 at 4 o'clock in
Graham 101.
Civil Service Examinations are
open to all citizens of the United
States; therefore, all interested
students are urged to be present
at this meeting. Applications for
the April 15 examination, must be
filed by March 15, and Dr.
Mahaffey will have applications
available for each student at the
March 13 meeting; he will be responsible for mailing all applications.
The FSEE is for positions at the
entrance and trainee levels of approximately 200 different occupations in Federal offices in many
locations. Up to 10,000 such jobs
are filled each year.
Thus, through this one test, you
can be considered for a wide variety of positions for which your education has prepared you. Most
positions at the entrance and
trainee levels are in grade GS-5
paying about $5,300 a year at
present. Some positions at GS-7
(about $6,400 a year) may be filled
from the list, but only by persons
who have certain additional training and education, or by recent
graduates who have met certain
criteria of superior scholarship.
As the Nation's largest employer,
the government has a continuing
need for promising people to enter
the career service. "In a real
sense, opportunities for rewarding
careers in government will be better than ever because of the
increased demands of our society,"
says John W. Macy, Jr. "The quality of those selected for Government service has become more
important now than at any time ir

"The reason firm, the temperate
will, endurance, foresights,
strengths and skills — a perfect
woman nobly planned to warn, to
comfort and to command." This
is the woman which American
society has developed, and this is
the type of woman that each
American girl strives to become.

NCTA Meets
March 16-17
In Durham
The North Carolina Teachers
Association (NCTA) and it auxiliary groups are scheduled to meet
during the 86th Annual Convention
March 16-17 in Durham.
Available for participation on
programs as speakers or consultants during the NCTA Convention
are Dr. Edward Brice, assistant
to the assistant to the commissioner of the U. S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare-
Dr. John H. Starie, consultant for
local National Education Associations (NEA); and Mr. John Brown,
national youth training consultant
at the U. S. Department of Labor.
Brown is particularly interested in
meeting with vocational guidance,
principals, and supervisors groups
As an auxilary group of the
NCTA, the Student National Education (Student NEA) will meet oi:
March 17 at the Hillside High
School in Durham. Delegates from
the various local associations will
make plans for their first spring
retreat which is tentatively
scheduled for April 13, 14, and 15,
for the election of competent officers for the 1967-68 school year,
and to implement a discussion on
"The Beginning Teacher and Integration."
The discussion on "The Beginning Teacher and Integration" is
scheduled for presentation in the
form of a panel. Participants will
include beginning as well as in-
service teachers. These discussants
will share their experiecnes —
problems, solutions, guidelines —
with Student NEA representatives
from all of the predominantly
Negro colleges in North Carolina.
The purpose of this discussion is
to aid the beginning teacher in
his adjustment to an integrated or
bi-racial situation.
Ann Elliott will develop her address which will be given at the
all-campus assembly on Sunday,
March 13.
Taking as her topic "The Values
of a Lady in a World of Change",
which is also the theme for Women's Weekend, Miss Elliott will
proceed on the premise that the
woman is that unifying element
which solidifies the home foundations.
As Miss Elliott sees it, "Our
homes are the foundations of our
complex society." To emphasize
the importance of women in a
world of change, Miss Elliott will
bring out several attributes of the
woman — endurance, abiding love,
steadfast faith, moral insight, and
home and family relations.
Even though one finds that men
are quite prevalent in the world
of fashion designing, Ann Carolyn
Sidberry will exhibit designs and
creations of her own thereby
MONDAY NIGHT
showing that the women of A&T
are designers in their own right.
"This," Carolyn states, "is one
aspect of homemaking." The fashion show is to be presented at the
annual luncheon which is being
held at the Voyager Inn tomorrow.
To exhibit other characteristics
of the modern woman, the Women's
Council has planned a formal dance
to be held tonight. For a change,
the women will be allowed to ask
the men out. Tuxedos or dinner
jackets will be the attire for the
young men, and floor length gowns
will be worn by the young ladies.
Anyone who witnessed the talent
show last night saw many young
ladies performing. The talent they
presented was varied; it represented the women of the campus.
Representatives from each dormitory were secured to insure a cross-
section representation of talent
present in the female sex of Aggieland.
Lyceum Comm. Presents Concert
By The New York Jazz Sextet
By BILL ADAMS
The next scheduled lyceum program offers the student body ol
A&T College a live presentation of
jazz. The New York Jazz Sextet
is composed of six established jazz
talents. The group will be presented on Monday, March 13, in Harrison Auditorium at 8:00 o'clock
P.M. The artists of the sextet are
some of the best in jazz. The
musicians are trumpet Freddie
Hubbard, pianist Roland Hanna,
drummer Freddie Waits, tenor
saxophonist Benny Golson, trombonist Tom Mcintosh, and bass
Barre Phillips.
This writer is very familiar with
trumpeter, Freddie Hubbard. Freddie has already been written about
in a previous article in THE
REGISTER. However, one finds it
necessary to mention some additional information concerning the
young musician. Although this reporter first heard Hubbard playing
with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, he first saw Freddie and his
group at a jazz spot called Slug's
in New York City. The full, robust
sound that characterizes his trumpet playing is sure to reach the
audience, no matter where he may
be playing.
Benny Golson acquired recognition as a composer and a musician. In 1955, Miles Davis recorded
a tune by Golson called "Stable-
mates" that started Golson's jazz
recognition as a composer. Like
Freddie Hubbard, Benny Golson
also spent some time playing for
Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. A
few of his well-known compositions
are "I Remember Clifford" (the
late Clifford Brown), "Blues
March," "Blues After Dark," and
"Killer Joe." Another of Golson's
talents was displayed in the now
defunct group of the early 1960's
called the Jazztet. The Jazztet was
under the joint leadership of trumpeter Art Farmer and Benny Golson. One of the most popular jazz
units of its time, a few of their
performances have been captured
on Argo records (now Cadet
label). This person had the pleasure of seeing the Jazztet whex
they appeared, along with Stan
Kenton's band, in Raleigh a few
years ago when they were on tour.
Benny Golson is an excellent player and composer.
Pianist Roland Hanna has worked and recorded with bassist
Charles Mingus. A well-rounded
musician, Roland has recorded
with his own group for Atco records. Drummer Freddie Waits
may be called a choice drummer.
Freddie, along with pianist John
Hicks and bassist Sam Jones, were
backing female vocalist, Betty
Carter at New York City's Five
Spot. Miss Carter, one of the
"hip" vocalists, distinguishes herself by her fine vocal stylings and
excellent accompanists. Freddie
Waits is one of her regulars. The
other member of the rhythm section, bassist Barre Phillips, recently recorded with Archie Shepp.
Not only does he keep time well,
but his playing is very mobile and
intersecting. The other horn that
completes the New York Jazz
Sextet is that of trombonist Tom
Mcintosh. Tom has played and recorded with Benny Golson's Jazztet. *
Remember Monday, March 13.
The evening should promise to be
exciting and memorable. Jazz is
here!
These "big guns" are Tom Mcintosh, trombone;
Barre Phillips, bass; Roland Hanna, piano; Fred
die Hubbard, trumpet; Freddie Waits, drums; and
Benny Golson, saxophone.
