Last Of The Old Lookers
What seemed like the oldest building on campus was demolished by a wrecking crew this week. The
building, which was located on the south side of Senior Hall, was actually built in the 40's but because of
the wood construction, appeared to be the oldest structure on campus. Several buildings are much older.

Discrepencies among Student
Government officers as to the
evaluation of the past year exist.
SGA President Matthew Simpson
termed the year a "success"
whereas as SGA Vice-President
Gail Thomas stated "It's been a
long, trying, tedious, agonizing
and unproductive year.
William Hubbard in agreement
with Gail termed it
"disappointing from his position
as treasurer." Joyce Lindsay.
SGA Secretary, merely stated
that it was the better of her two
years   in the SGA.
In terming the year a success.
Simpson admits, however, that in
one respect of "our drive to
obtain student involvement, we
failed."

By David Lee Brown
" App roximatley 2,000
students, including graduates and
undergraduates, are expected this

applications indicate that this is a
conservative estimate of the
number of students that will
attend", stated J. Neil
Armstrong, director of Summer
School.
He stated that the
undergraduate enrollment has
been increasing each summer,
but at the same time the number
of classes that have been offered
has been limited. Therefore, he
suggested that all students apply
early.
Armstrong indicated that the
regular nine-week, six-week, and
three-week sessions will be
offered along with a workshop
program which includes
six- workshops and three
institutes.

many projects such as the
removal of failures from
transcripts and reopening of the
Afro-House were initiated in the
fall, but could not be
accomplished until the spring. He
said, "it is not that the SGA
became more involved in the
spring, but that the student body
became more involved."
To the new officers for next
year Simpson warned "It is easier
analyzing a problem from the
outside than from the inside."
He urges them "to carry on in
light of all their failures, and his
failure as President."
Gail, who saw the root of the
problem as lack of student
interest, fragmentation among
SGA executive officers, and little
support and involvement by the
faculty and administration, said.
"I will be happy when this
school year terminates and I
hope that the A & T student
body will never experience
another one like it." She asserted
that some faculty members had
cooperated but the number had
not been enough to help the
SGA make significant change.
To the new officials, Gail
"hopes that the next government
will profit from our mistakes."
She also hopes, "they will have
far greater success than we have
had and that they very clearly
understand the job they are
about to undertake and handle it
as best they can - not with an
idealistic approach but with a
realistic approach-because if they
go into it with an idealistic
view, they will be hurt-I know
this from first-hand experience."
Commenting on his
disappointment, Hubbard
emphasized that though he had
many ideas, he was constantly
faced with "brickwalls" which
terminated his progress.
As treasurer, Hubbard is also
in charge of Social Activities to
be sponsored by the SGA. He
asserted that the failure of the
Jackson 5 Show or Sly and the
Eamily Stone Show to
materialize was because some of
his fellow SGA officers and the
school administrators felt he did
not have the authority to
commit the University to a
$15,000 contract. The project as
arranged by Hubbard would
grossed the SGA some $30,000
which could have been used to
sponsor free movies and aid for
students to go to Africa and
many other free activities for the
students.
