Veterans' Corner
Q ? I am attending school
under the G. I. Bill and am re
ceiving $155 per month for my- 1
self and dependent wife. Do I !
have to report to the VA If my
wife goes to work? Will she be
dropped as my dependent, if
she Is to make a certain amount
of money?
A ? The answer to both of
your questions is "No." The
amount of your wife's Income
has no bearing on your depen
dency status as far as educa
tional assistance Is concerned.
Q ? I am a disabled veteran
and I have been advised I may
be eligible for vocational re
habilitation. What are the ad
vantages of vocational rehabili
tation over the regular G. I.
Bill to which I also have en
titlement?
A ? Vocational rehabilitation
allows a wider variety of train
ing, a longer period of training
(if required), and more money.
With few exceptions, It would be
to your advantage to take voca
tional rehabilitation rather than
training under the regular O. I.
Bill.
A&T WINS $96,000 GRANT
FOR WORKSHOP TO HELP WHITES
LEARN TO TEACH BLACKS
A unique institute, designed
to prepare teachers to "teach
the black, experience and black
students" has been funded by
HEW at A&T State University
for $96,000.
Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, presi
dent of A&T, announced the
federal grant Tuesday for the
workshop to be conducted at
the University June 8 through
July 17.
He said directors of the inte
grated workshop will be Joseph
A. Bennett, assistant professor
of social studies; and Dr. Sid
ney H. Evans, chairman of the
Department of Economics.
In commenting on the grant,
Bennett said "the black experi
ence is the story of the unique
struggle and aspirations of black
people for survival, advance
ment and recognition in a hostile
world in which every other hu
man species has appeared as an
enemy."
"In order to teach black stu
dents successfully," he "added,
"many changes in educational
planning and perspectives will
have to be made."
Bennett said the University
hopes to attract secondary and
elementary teachers, and several
administrators, supervisors and
vocational counselors to the new
program.
In addition to the summer
study, 20 of the participants will
take part in a year-long program
of black studies at A&T, for
which graduate credit will be
given.
The summer program will in
clude courses in black history,
social institutions that effect
blacks, methods of teaching
black studies and black students
and the Negro and the humani
ties.
Bennett said the workshop is
designed to assist persons who
teach in integrated schools and
whites who teach black student?.
Individual stipends of $450,
plus allowances for dependent!,
will be available for persons
who attend the summer pro
gram. Applications may be filed
with Bennett in the F. D. Blu
ford Library.

ported a record income of more
than $151,000 during the final
I six-month period last year.
In his annual report, Dr.
Frederick A. Williams, director
of planning and development
at A&T, said the increase In
funds from alumni, corporations
and industries, represents "both
an encouragement and challenge
I in our continuing efforts to pro
vide quality education for all of
our students and to assist in
improvement for our faculty."
| Of the income during the last
, six months, more than $118,000
? was restricted income from na
' tional and local corporations.
Included in this amount were
contributions for $50,000 from
the W. K. Kellogg Foundation
and $43,545, from the Ford
Foundation for the conduct of
a student personnel workshop.
Williams said the Kellogg
grant was especially valuable
in assisting the A&T School pf
Engineering in its drive for ac
creditation last year. The school
was accredited last July by the
Engineers' Council for Profes
sional Development (ECPD),
highest accreditation agency in
the nation for engineering edu
cation.

$39,000 came from the A&T
Alumni Association, as a part

ed scholarship awards under
special designation by donors.
The summer program will
