The ECSC Biology Depart
ment is looking into the future.
Two seniors received grants
from the North Carolina Acad
emy of Science. They were
Earnestine Rountree and Mag
nolia Brown. The grants were
for research on "Growth Stim
ulating Effects of Plant Hor
mones on Nostoc”, and “Growth

Algae”, respectively.
Dr. Cooke, a professor in
Biology, is planning to attend
an International Seminar on

in Helsinki, Finland and Berlin,
West Germany.
The students of Zoology,
Microbiology, Botany, and B'o*
logical Sciences Survey classes
are doing individual projects.
The Biology Department invites

GRADUATE PROGRAM
(Cont'd from page I)
shidy but to aptitude for pur
suing graduate study.
It was emphasized that a gap
now exists between opportunities
which are available in managerial
positions and the number of qual
ified Negroes who may apply.
Increasingly as the barriors go
down in the hiring of Negroes for
top level positions in business,
■this gap may widened because of
barriors created,by lack of talent
or ability among all men. It is
with this projection in mind that|
the consortium of their institu
tions, through assistance from
Ford foundations, is offering this
opportunity for Negro youth.
Approximately $2500 a year
for a 2 year program is available
for personal and living expenses,
as well as tuition.

Coeds Win
"Battle of The Sexes”
(ACP) — Coeds eked out a
251-244 victory over male stu
dents at Louisiana State Univer
sity last month as they managed
to vote down the proposition that
LSU coeds came to college seek
ing husbands rather than an edu
cation, reports the Daily Rev
eille.
The vote was taken at the
third speech forum of the semes
ter, which turned out to be a bat
tle of the sexes. Men seated on
one side and women on the other
side of 'the union ballroom vol
leyed vehement comments back
and forth for some 45 minutes.
Denise Engeran, princiiwl
speaker for the winning coeds,
said women 10 years ago might
have been just looking for hus
bands but that, in 1966, women’s
"career drive exceeds their ma
ting drive.”
She noted that women make
one-third of the 79 million
laborers in the United States and
earn three-fourths 9S much as
men do. Four of five coeds she
interviewed. Miss Engeran said,
knew what career they were go
ing into.
"Saying most girls come to
get a husband is like saying a
man comes to college to stay
out of Vietnam,” she said.
She pointed out that "Who’s
Who in American Colleges and
Universities” contained the
names of more women than men,
and that of 576 freshmen on the
honor roll last semester, only
250 were male.
Vincent Hazleton, speaking
for the affirmative, argued that
females are trained to get hus
bands from the minute they leave
their diapers and get their "Bet
sey Wetsey” dolls.
"Females are hunters,” he
said, claiming that at the age
of 18 they are ready to stalk
their future mates and that the
universities are their hunting
grounds. Women know the best
catches are made on a univer
sity campus, he said.
The main reason women drop
out of college, Hazleton contin
ued, is to marry and have a fam
ily, "hopefully in that order."
While the coeds contended
they are in school to get an ed
ucation, one male countered by
asking, “Can you see yourself
20 years from now, working eight
hours A day, instead of caring
for a husband and family?']
