              Brown Hall Earns "C" Sanitation Grade
By STANLEY JOHNSON
Questions about Brown Hall food
service have arisen since the cafeteria received a "C" sanitation
rating September 25. The rating
was awarded on the 70.5 points the
cafeteria received. The facility is
one of two cafterias owned by the
University and run by ARA Slater
Food Services.
A recent interview with manager, F. M. Schramm, revealed
that multiple causes, pointed out
by the health inspector, resulted in
the "C" rating. According to
Schramm,   the   dishwashing   ma-

Union Committee
To Set Leagues
For Bowlers
By HILLIARD B. HINES, JR.
In a recent interview with Roger
McKee, assistant director of the
Memorial Union, it was found out
that the Games and Tournaments
Committee plans to stimulate a
higher interest in students towards
bowling by promoting bowling tournaments throughout the year.
At the persent, the Games and
Tournament Committee is in the
process of establishing leagues to
participate in these tournaments.
Presently, four leagues are being
established: the Aggies, the Bulldogs, the Coeds, and the Spare-
makers, each consisting of five
members.
Trophies will be awarded to the
male who has the highest bowling
average and the female who has
the highest bowling average. Three
trophies have already been awarded. Two of these were awarded
during the spring to Thomas Brew-
el and Helen Powell for having
the highest male and female averages, respectively. The third was
awarded to Lawrence McSwain
who won the tournament that was
held during the summer.
chine was inoperative. It seems
the trouble was in the rinse cycle.
Coupled with this, the inspector
commented on the flies which frequent the dining facility. Air current fans at the entrances are
especially designed to keep flies
out. These fans, though operative,
were not turned on. To add further
to the inspector's list, he found
that the milk was not being properly sealed thus making it possible to pour out half the milk and
replace it with water.
Concerning the broken dishwasher, Schramm said, "When I learn
ed the machine was broken, I
went to the car and got the necessary tools, came back and had it
fixed in five minutes, but the inspector left before I finished."
Since, then, Schramm informed
this paper that "professionals have
looked it (the machine) over." Although the University furnishes
the equipment and buildings for
ARA Food Services, the Company
is responsible for all repairs to
machinery.
With reference to the air current fans used to keep flies out,
Schramm said the fans were not
Mayor Bain Addresses President's Club
Stressing the importance of communication, Mayor Carson Bain
told the President's Club to "try
a little perpendicular communication in addition to hyperbola."
"You live in a city that is
willing to communicate; join wth
me and help me with suggestions",
the Mayor told the student leaders who make up the President's
Club. The Thursday evening dinner meeting with the University
president, Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy
lasted for two and one-half hours
with the Mayor as special guest.
The Mayor asked to be questioned about any and all phases
of Greensboro life. He was immediately posed with questions
ranging from needed playground
areas to defenses against possible
black rebellions. Among the continuing stream of questions, all of
which could not be answered by
the Mayor, were some pertaining
to open housing; voting and voter registration; city council elections; and re-development project
confusion.
The Mayor pleaded ignorance to
the fact that local newspapers run
classified ads which specify jobs
for "white only."
In his closing comments, President Dowdy solicited the help and
spirit of the campus leaders in
preserving existing programs at
the University and rejecting any
ideas that come from anybody
degrading Negro Universities and
Colleges.
The   President   expressed   deep
concern over registration procedures. For the spring semester,
he announced that he plans to
hire a team of specialists to conduct pre-registration. He cautioned, however, that i,t could work
only if all students cooperate and
perform necessary pre-registration forms on the prescribed day.
"The only students who may possibly encounter difficulties," injected the President, "are those
who fail courses."
As promised, the President released his latest pep-song, "Aggies
Are Made for Winning." The sonp
is written to the tune of "These
Boots are Made for Walking." The
song was warmly accepted by the
group and after several attempts
was successfully sung through its
entirety.

on because students, girls in particular, had complained about the
air blowing on them. "Unless a
student turns the fans off," Schramm commented, "they will be
on."
"The University dairy has now
been informed about the required
proper sealing of milk," Schramm
said.
Commenting further he said
that "there have been quite a few
inspections since January of 1966
when ARA took over; and, up to
now, we have always had an *'A"
rating."
"I have called Mr. Elkins, the
new health inspector for a new
examination ... we never know
then they might come in and make
their inspection . . .," and speaking hypothetically Schramm said,
"as soon as you find that something is wrong you do something
about it."
Murphy Hall, a much larger
dining facility for freshmen and
sophomores, has not been inspected recently. The ARA Slater Food
Services handles the two cafeterias, the Union Snack Bar, the
two private dining rooms, and the
newly opened Red Carpet Room.
It employs approximately 75 full
time workers and about the same
number of students.
Students have voiced varied opinions, all of which were unfavorable to the low rating. "It is most
shocking and disturbing to know
that a dining facility serving so
many people should receive a sanitation grade of "C".; it makes
one think that all along we have
been eating by faith alone," remarked Curtis Brantley, a senior
at the University and a noted
campus leader.

Research Park Offers Aid To Grad Students
Research Triangle Park, N. C—
A proven time-saving device to
assist graduate students in the
sciences with their thesis literature
research is now available to students at N. C. Agricultural and
Technical State University.
The North Carolina Science and
Technology Research Center, a
state agency in the Research Triangle Park, is offering the resources its massive computerized
bank of information to graduate
students as a supplement to their
literature research.
This experimental project is
supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
to seek better ways of disseminating scientific information.
For $5, the STRC will conduct a
computer search for material pertinent to the student's field of
study in the 250,000 reports of recent research collected world-wide
by NASA. About half of the material is unpublished report literature, including government and
contractor technical reports. The
remainder was gathered from
more than 1,000 different professional and scientific journals published in the U. S. and many foreign
countries, including the USSR.
Monthly updates keep the collection
current.
Local universiy faculty members
estimate that to find the literature
located through a single computer
search would require as much as
a month using conventional manual searching techniques.
Topics in the STRC bank of information cover these fields: aircraft and structural mechanics;
biosciences and biotechnology;
chemistry and propellants; communications and computers; electronics and electronic equipment;
fluid mechanics and aerodynamics; geophysics and meteorology;
instrumentation and photography;
and machine elements and processes.
Materials — metallic and non-
metallic; mathematics; physics —
general, atomic, molecular, nuclear, plasma, solid-state, masers;
propulsion systems, thermodynamics^ nd combustion; research
facilities;   and  space   sciences.
General — industrial applications and technology, basic research, defense aspects, law and
related legal matters and legislative  hearings   and  documents.
For further information, write
or call: N. C. Science and Technology Research Center, Research
Triangle Park, N. C. 27709;  Dur
ham 549-8291, Raleigh 834-7357 and
Chapel Hill 929-6688.
An appointment for a conference
to plan the search will be arranged
with an application engineer of
the STRC.

A&T football coach Bert Piggott
is going to protest Saturday night's
CIAA game against Johnson C.
Smith at Memorial Stadium for a
controversial fifth down that enabled the Bulls to tie the Aggies
6-6 in the last seven seconds of
play.
"I'm going to protest the game
based on the officials' judgment
of downs," stated Piggott after
the game. "Johnson C. Smith actually had five downs and scored
on that fifth down.
The statistician from Smith
had the same statistics that our
statistician had, and there were
no penalties in that series.
"I feel that officials were off in
their judgment so we'er going to
protest the game to the commis-
ioner some way. I don't know if
it will do any good, but we are
going to protest it."
RUN-AWAY BULLDOZER? One might chalk off a
run-away animal or an electric lawnmower and
even a rolling automobile as a not-too-unsual-sight.
But a several-ton-bulldozer-on-the-loose is almost
inconceivable. Unusual or not, last Thursday, band
members practicing on North Campus witnessed
this driverless bulldozer on the rampage. It barely
missed the greenhouse of Barnes Hall and came
to rest here at the rear of Sockwell Hall. It made
quite a depression on the building's shower room;
however, damages are estimated as light. Why is
it pointed in this direction? Because it was running
loose in reverse gear.
