Youths Study Sciences Here
The National Science Founda
tion sponsors the Secondary Sci
ence Training Program which
has brought 41 of the brightest
high school students in nine
states to the campus of North
Carolina College for a six week
program of study.
The students, rising seniors in
their respective high schools,
rank among the top 15 per cent
in their classes, came highly
recommended by their high
school science teachers, and have
demonstrated potentialities for
outstanding achievement in the
fields of science and mathemat
ics.
Projects
Each student is engaged in an
independent research project in
biology, chemistry, or mathe
matics, under the guidance of
distinguished scholars in the
specific field.
In addition, each student
takes two courses, one in mathe
matics and the other in either
biology or chemistry.
According to Dr. C. E. Boul-
ware, director of the institute,
an additional purpose of the pro
gram is to promote the students’
association in a social and aca
demic atmosphere with stu
dents of the same age, classifica
tion, and fields of interest.
Outstanding visiting lecturers
in the field of science have ap
peared before students, who
have also made field trips to ob
serve unusual scientific, indus
trial, and cultural phenomena.
Dr. Boulware said.
Faculty members include pro
fessors Boulware; David Denny,
biology; Norman Padnos, chem
istry; and Lawrence Moore,
mathematics.

Miss Perry will do a study of
the correlation between reading
patterns and classroom perform

natural sciences.
A native of Wendell, N. C.,
Miss Perry became head libra

1965. She had previously served
as a member of the summer fac

She has done research in the
area of her dissertation under
a grant from the E. P. Dutton
Publishing Company.
Housing Unit Sets
Reservation Dates
For 1967-68 Term
Students planning to attend
North Carolina College this fall
should make arrangements for
dormitory space immediately, or
no rooms will be left for them.
This warning came from Mrs.
Rebecca Edmonds, director of
the campus’ new student hous
ing office on the ground floor of
the James E. Shepard Library.
She said all dormitory space for
upperclass women has been as
signed.
Rooms remain available for
freshmen women and for men
students, Mrs. Edmonds said.
The housing office also handles
off-campus placement for under
graduates. More accommoda
tions off-campus are urgently
needed, the housing director re
minded Durham residents.
Mrs. Edmonds and a full-time
secretary man the office from 8
a.m. through 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
Assignment Procedures
Applications for housing in
residence halls or in the City of
Durham for the regular session,
1967-68, must be submitted to
the Bursar’s Office accompanied
by a money order or cashier’s
check for $25. The fee assures
the student inclusion in the en
rollment quota for the school
year.
Housing assignments are made
according to the date the appli
cation is validated by the bur
sar and forwarded to the hous
ing office.
Freshmen women are assigned
to Dormitory “400” and to
McLean Hall. Undergraduate
women are assigned to the re
maining women’s dormitories
and to off-campus housing.
Men students are assigned to
Chidley Hall, with freshmen and
some sophomores and graduate
students assigned to the original
portion of the building and up
perclass men assigned to the
Chidley Hall Annex.
Dormitory assignments for
graduate women have not yet
been determined.
In addition to undergraduate
housing assignments, the hous
ing office offers limited place
ment service to graduate and
married students during the
regular session.
Reservations for the 1968
summer session will be made for
both graduate and undergrad
uate students, Mrs. Edmonds
said.
Grad Featured
In Publication
Lenwood E. Ward, a 1963
graduate of North Carolina Col
lege, is featured in the current
issue of Caravan, an industrial
quarterly published by Joseph
V. Baker Associates, Inc.
Ward is described as one of
the “well-rounded individuals”
who will “help shape the future
of American industry.” An ad
ministrative trainee with the
Atlantic Richfield Company, he
holds the Bachelor of Science in
Commerce degree from NCC.
After completing an account
ing traineeship with the com
pany, Ward was selected to serve
for a three-month period as su
pervisor of some 45 trainees.
During his college days, the
Washington, N. C., native was a
member of the Gamma Beta
chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fra
ternity, of the NAACP, and of
the Commerce Club. He married
Miss Virginia D. Royal of Rox
boro, N. C., who was also an
NCC student, in 1961.
Mr. and Mrs. Ward now live
in the Germantown section of
Philadelphia with their three-
year-old son, Michael Lorenzo.
