Chitons Induct 24 Members
By Maxine McNeill
A&T's newly established
Collegiate Civitan Club inducted
24 members at its charter
banquet held in Williams
Cafeteria Thursday. A&T's
chapter is the first predominately
Black chapter in the.
Southeastern District.
The Collegiate Civitan Club is
an international service
organization. The purpose of the
club is to work with campus
projects and promote citizenship
on campus.
Dr. Jesse E, Marshall, vice
chancellor for student affairs,
who was the keynote speaker,
described the event as the most
momentous during the course of
time at A&T. He said it was no
occasion for a keynote address
and attention should be focused
on the students who were being
chartered.
"As I look at what has
happened through that nation,
someone needs to be his
brother's keeper," said Dr.
Marshall.
Dr. Marshall feels that we are
our brother's keeper. He said the
members of the Civitan Club
should strive to bring good
citizenship back on campus.
The president of the Civitan
International, Carlie .Sessoms,
feels that the A&T Civitan
members are confronted with a
re?;    challenge.     "It    is    your
responsibility to build better
citizenship    at     A&T    and    in
Greensboro," said Sessoms. The
challenge the chartered Civitan
members are confronted with is
whether or not they want to see
A&T's club walk or fly,
according to Sessoms. He said if
it is to progress quickly the
students' time, money, and
energy will have to be utilized.
Doris Camack, president, said.
"I am proud to be a part of the
Collegiate Civitan Club. I want to
launch a new membership drive."
Ms. Comack also said all the
members inducted last night are
a11 community health majors.
She said the club is open to all
students but community health
majors are the only students

"I will neither confirm nor
deny the report. I intend to
remain neutral until I have
received a recommendation on
. the matter." Those were the
words of Chancellor Lewis C.
Dowdy in a telephone
conversation yesterday on a
report involving the naming of a
new head coach for the A&T
basketball team.
A report broke late Saturday
that A&T's Warren Reynolds
would step down this month as
head coach and that a new
mentor would be named later
this week. The report, orginating
from both local television and
radio sports persons, stated that
Applachian State University
assistant Gene Littles would be
named as the new man.
Also, an unofficial statement
was released that former NBA
and ABA star Joe Caldwell
would be named as the assistant
to Littles.
Dr. Dowdy, and athletic
director Cal Irvin would not
comment on the report andthat
Reynolds' future at A&T is still
facing ^uncertainty • Dr Albert
Smith could not be reached for
comment but has maintained a
"wait and see" attitude.
Littles, a former All-America
at nearby High Point College,
starred for. four years in the
American Basketball Association
with the defunct Carolina
Cougars and later the Kentucky
Colonels.
He assumed the assistant post
at ASU last year and had been
instrumental in the recruiting of
players for the Mountaineers.
ASU had been one of the
stronger teams in tlie Southern
Conference this past season.
Coach Reynolds commented
on WFMY-TV's A&T Sports
Report that he had not received
any official notice of his
nonrenewal. Reynolds stated
that he had received several job
offers in the field of coaching
including three of the members
of the MEAC. Reliable sources
claim that he is the prime
candidate for the coaching posts
at Maryland-Eastern Shore,
Delaware State, and North
.Carolina Central.

University, is a senior partner in
his architectual firm, director of
the Urban League planners at
CCNY, and author °f several
publications, dealing with urban
planning projects.
He stressed the idea that the
landscape ; architect should
utilize   the   environment   to   its
fullest potential and adaptability.
Eor those who don't know,
landscape architecture is the
profession concerned with the
planning of outdoor areas and
communities. Landscape
architects are needed wherever
people use areas of land.
Friedburg said that this field
is up and coming. For both men
and women, a career in
Landscape Architecture holds
many rewards. Because of the

There has been the question
in the air concerning three pople
in a room next year. This issue is
now under investigation and in
the process of elimination.
Dr. Jesse Marshall, vice
chancellor for Student Affairs,
stated, "From the experience we
have had with personal problems
and psychological arrangements
under    which    students    were
compelled to live, we don't plan
to consider future arrangements
for three people i„ a room   This
will not be considered unless it is
specifically requested by the
occupants."
. Mrs. Lucille Piggott, dean of
women, stated  that there is no
intention of placing three girls in
a room for 1977-78.
There j^e been a certain
■number of rooms obtained for
inshmar. students.    William
Dr. MarshaU
Gamble, director of admissions,
said  out  of the   2100 students
selected.   1200 will be admitted
to comprise the freshman class.
f Out  of this number eighty per
cent will live on campus in the
dormitories.
"We ae using the fifty dollar
deposit   for   rooms  to  estimate
how many students will stay on
campus," Gamble said.
The student will be expected
to sign a statement explaining
the conditions and his request if
he so desires to live with three
occupants, he explained.
"This problem has never
existed within the male
dormitory., and we don't expect
three in a room next year." said
William Goode. dean of men.
