SG Hears Students' Complaints About Food
By LEANDER FORBES
WHEN AGGIES JOIN HANDS
Whether it be in a downtown department store in Greensboro or
in a meeting in a small classroom,
whenever a group of Aggies assemble for a common cause, you can
be sure of some results. This is
exactly what happened Wednesday night, April 5, in Campbell
Hall at a regular Student Government Association meeting.
Senior Adviser
Asks '67 Class
To Do Better
By LEE A. HOUSE, JR.
This was the cry of Dr. Alex-
. ander Gardner, senior class adviser — "Seniors, wake up." He
was only to be re-enforced by Dr.
J. E. Marshall, dean of Student
Affairs. The Senior Class of 1967
was assailed as one of the "sorriest" classes in the history of the
college. Whether this was used as
a stimulant to arouse the seniors
or an indictment of truth, it should
have been received with shame and
determination to do better.
"You have six weeks", reminded Dr. Gardner, "to erase your
apathetic slate and endeavor to be
remembered well by the college."
Dr. Gardner intimated that he was
the only faculty member, he knew,
who had ever volunteered to be
adviser to the senior class — "and
look what I got."
The occasion was the annual en-
ior banquet sponsored by the General Alumni Association. Of the
130 or more seniors who signed
up for plates, only about 100 showed up. Mr. J. C. McLaughlin, former instructor and dean here at the
college, related the message of the
evening. He admonished the seniors with regard to their lives:
"The Verdict Is Yours."
The banquet turned into a dinner-class meeting. This was no
doubt a golden opportunity for
President Bobby Palmer who usually nets anywhere from 5-25 seniors for his meetings. There was
mention of a Jubilee Week-end
sponsored by the senior class which
didn't exactly engender mass enthusiasm or support.
Dr. Gardner stated that still yet,
he is an optimist and knows that
the seniors will rally to the cause
of "greatness" for themselves and
A&T College these last six weeks
of their tenure here and even after
their graduation. A few juniors
were invited by protocol who are
now determined to make the class
of '68 much better.
Approximately 40 dedicated and
determined Aggies, with John
Richardson serving as spokesman,
impressed the SGA as they demanded a much needed change in
the food services here on campus.
This newly-organized group, known
as SAT (Students for A&T) presented the following complaints,
and requests:
1. The quality of the food is not
conducive to good health.
2. Left overs are served too regularly.
3. Sanitation is not of the highest
quality.
4. Paper and plastic utensils
should be used only when
absolutely necessary.
5. Meat should be served daily at
breakfast.
6. More food should be served at
each meal.
7. Food should be sent to the infirmary according to the needs
of the students there.
8. Salt and pepper should be
placed on every table.
9. Milk should be available at all
times.
10. Eating  utensils   should  be
cleaner.
11. A   pay-as-you-eat    system
should be established.
12. Bad lettuce and tomatoes
should not be used for salads.
13. The food should be hot, not
cold, when served.
14. Breakfast hours should be extended.
SAT, after having shown such an
interest in the students of A&T
concluded its petition for aid from
the SGA by stating in the words of
Richardson, "Mr. President, I
would Uke you to know that you
have the entire support of our organization whenever you may need
to call upon us." SAT is also spearheaded by another well known Aggie, basketball player Carl Hubbard. SAT, like many of us, are
tired of begging and pleading for
much need changes; they are now
demanding and determined.
Other interesting and important
issues were also presented at the
meeting from the various committees. The State Legislature committee attended the annual convention of College SGA's and returned
with an Aggie serving on the State
Scholarship Fund Committee. The
Committeeman is none other than
the chairman of the State Student
Legislature Committee, Richard
Womack.
From the entertainment committees, Ray English reported on the
progress of the Movie Committee
which will seek to elevate the entertainment of the general audience
by devising methods for the interruption of movies by unnecessary
announcements to be eradicated.
Also ushers will attempt to make
it possible for as many students as
possible to have seats and be comfortable. The Social Affairs Committee whose chief function was
with the Student Union Association terminated their planning for
this school year and are now peacefully awaiting the opening of the
Union Building. (Students are reminded that the Union Building is
in the process of being inspected
and students should refrain from
visiting the million-dollar Union
until it is open to the entire student body. The Social Affairs Committee is under the leadership of
James Rhodes.
Leander Forbes, chairman of the
campus beautification committee,
reported that funds have already
begun coming in supporting the
committee's project of improving
the physical appearance of the
campus. Because of what Forbes
termed "neglect", of his duties, he
resigned his position. However, the
president   refused   to  accept   the

AT   ANNUAL   CONFERENCE
Virginia Educator Stresses Quality
And Involvement For Education
The second Annual Student
Teaching Conference was held last
Saturday in Bluford Library.
Activities included two general
sessions, six group discussions, and
a special luncheon.
The highlight of the conference
was the main address delivered by
Dr. James T. Guines, administrative assistant of the Richmond
Public Schools. Using the conler-
ence theme "Innovations in Teaching   Methods   and   Their   Applica-
Miss Margaret Tynes, noted opera singer, a 1941 graduate of A&T College, and Greensboro native, now a resident of Milano, Italy, will highlight the Diamond Anniversary observance at A&T College with a recital
on Friday evening, April 28. The observance begins on Monday, April
24, and concludes with a convocation on Saturday afternoon, April 29.
tions to the Learning Process", Dr.
Guines told the audience that education has not taken over its full
advantages.
Dr. Guines began his message
by drawing several conclusions.
These conclusions state, in effect,
that (1) we are living in a society
which is being blasted by technical
revolution; (2) we are experiencing
the effects of an accelerated
change; and (3) education is the
key to needed adjustment for a
productive and happy life.
The speaker expressed the need
for a strong faith in our educational power. Alluding to the Biblical story of David and Goliath,
Dr. Guines stated that "faith is the
first attitudinal commitment" of
the educator. "We must have faith
in the powers of education to meet
the challenge of change."
Dr. Guines emphasized the need
for quality of and equality in education. He informed the group that
this could be accomplished through
the application of technological
practices and action research. At
this point, he discussed some of
the practices of technology as they
have affected industry and other
areas. His point was to inform educators that they, too, "must get
involved" in their own research
problems.
Dr. Guines emunerated the student, the teacher, the objectives,
the instructional methods, and evaluation as the elements in the education process. These elements
have the following implications for
the educator: (1) effective grouping of pupils for instructional purposes, (2) better utilization of
teacher personnel, (3) broad objectives, (4) concrete experiences,
and (5) changed behavior in student activities.
The group discussions were primarily concerned with student
teacher-cooperating teacher relationships, new innovations in teaching methods, and a better student
teacher program.
The participants for the day included student teachers, cooperating teachers, supervising teachers,
and other educators. Dr. S. O.
Jones, coordinator of Student
Teachers, presided over the meeting.
