the enthusiastic group. Here they
roamed arond and took pictures

The next day, breakfast, check
out, load, and departure for Wil-

there was lunch at Williams

a city so *‘ol(F’ and so "pure,”
After their stop over at Wil.
liamsburg the group had one
more stop, Norfolk State College,
Here the young ladies were gre-

"Where Good Friends Meet"
During the visit on our campus
by members ofthe Plans for Pro
gress Task Force, I was able to
sit in on one of the sessions. I
found it both informative and in
teresting, What follows are hints
on the future and points of in
terest that the two representa
tives imparted to the group about
their respective jobs and their
relation to the Task Force,
The Task Force, which is cen
tralized in Washington, D.C.,has
been aided and advised by former
Vice-President Hubert H. Hum
phrey, Following his suggestion
of offering the public “living
proof” of what one can do or be
come actual representatives
were engaged in the project
“Plans for Progress.” One of
the purposes of this project is
to give the *'I did, so can you”,
^neral concept to the public,
especially members of minority
groups. To point out the deep
“committment" that major com
panies love in this program, Mrs.
Jacqueline Pickney, Manager of
Employee Publications for Gen
eral Electric (Valley Forge Space
Center) explained that while em
ployed representatives are away
from their jobs they and their
replacements must be paidbythe
companies.
Mrs, Pinckney, employed at the
Missle and Space Center, Valley
Forge, Pennsylvania, explained
to a group of science majors
several of the recent projects
undertaken by G.E. These in
clude a weather satelite which
orbits the earth 600 miles above
with a speed of 1,000 m.p.h. or
more; a communication sate
lite and a Bio satelite containing
a monkey that will orbit the earth
for 30 days, be recovered and
studies made on the biological
effects of extended space stay,
G.E. has prefabricated houses
that were first used by the Army
and are now to be used for low
cost housing by HUB. G. E. needs
all kind of workers, especially
engineers and technical writers.
Mrs, Pinckney, in giving exam
ples of some salaries, noted
that secretaries ri^t out of high
school earn about $90 per week;
that engineers right out of college
may earn $800 a month. Other
salaries range accordingly.
Mrs. Pinckney's companion
was Maxine Grady, ticketing a-
gent for American Airlines. Miss

Search For Unknown
Keys Science Week Acts
The “Search for the Unknown”
was, and still is, a quest for
anyone willing to do so. This
was indeed the challenge as the
“Science Emphasis Week” pas
sed our way.
The “Science Emphasis Week”
was sponsored by the Science
Seminar Club and the Beta Kap
pa Chi honorary scientific so-
ciety, April 28-May 2. The pur
pose of the week-long program
was quite evident. Since the im-
portance of a great realm of
science was emphasized. It also
was made explicit the vast amount
of unknown information that con.
fronts the scientist today. This is
why there is a tremendous need

Memphis, Tenn. She also talked
about her job and corporation.
In a job like her, a two-year
training program is needed and,
of course to work with the air-

And when you stop and look at me
And you don’t see you.
And you cringe and say
"You ain't wit it Baby,”
And when I stop and look at you
And I don't see me
And I sigh and say,
“Dat won’t git it Baby,”
Did we really look or. , ,
Just didn’t see?

for researchers in all areas of

The week started with a "bang"
as the students presented very
interesting and informative re-
isearch reports. The hi^lights
of the week were the presence of
visiting lecturers, who came
from Harvard University, in Bos
ton, Mass., and the University
of Florida at Gainsville. There
also were lecturing professors
from the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro and
Greensboro College,
It was quite evident that all of
the science majors as well as
the non-science majors enjoyed
the “Science Emphasis Week."
^Spring Feet^
One beautiful spring day three
young ladies went strolling
across campus in bright colored
frocks with open-toed shoes.
Three handsome young men ap
proached them and said, "Hi,”
The girls, thinking it would be
to their advantage to play hard
to get continued walking without
a word.
As they flaunted by with their
heads aloof one of the young men
replied, “We didn't want to talk
to you anyway cause your toes
look like you been choppin| wood
with 'em,'’
Moral? It is your feet that
literally carries you to success.
Realizing this, we have de
cided to give a few points on
Foot care. The daily care of
your feet should include bathing
for cleanliness; creaming for
lubrication, hot and cold baths
or alcohol for stimulation; pow.
der for protection.
The weekly care of your feet
should include a complete pedi
cure that follows this procedure;
1. File the nails strai^t across
2. Soak feet in warm soapy
water
3. Push cuticles back
4. Apply cuticle remover
5. Loosen and remove dead
cuticle
6. Clean under toe nail
7. Trim hangnails
8. Apply cuticle oil
9. Remove oil from nails
10. Polish if desired
The benefits that you will gain
from taking care of yourself
are more than just physical. They
are mental and emotional as well.
Besides, what woman can look
beautiful and relaxed when her
feet are hurting?
