A&T Engineering
Professor For
Research On
Deterioration Of
Uranium
GREENSBORO ? A $25,400
research grant to conduct atmos
pheric studies on the critical
metal, uranium, was awarded
Tuesday to a professor in the
School of Engineering at A&T
State University.
Dr. Regnald L. Amory, dean
of the school, said the one-year
study will be conducted by Dr.
B. M. Botros with funds awarded
by the Union Carbide Corpor
ation. A&T has been granted a
special license from the state for
the handling of the uranium.
Botros' research will be con
cerned with the effect of surface
treatment on the rate of reaction
of gases with uranium. The
Atomic Energy Commission,
which let the original contract
for Botros' study to Union Car
bide, is greatly interested in
finding means of protecting cri
tical metals such as uranium
from rapid deterioration.
In his research, Botros plans
to expose the uranium to differ
ent atmospheric conditions and
analyze what happens, such as
loss of weight due to erosion.
Botros said it is hoped that
basic metallurgical methods can
be developed to relate to this
corrosive behavior.
Botros is a native of Egypt
artd holds degrees from Alexan
dria University and Sheffield
University in England. He came
to A&T after teaching at the

Desegregation Chances Fading;
Negroes Made Gains During Decade
DURHAM, N. C. ? In three
related articles in the latest is
sue of "The Torch," published
by the Department of Educa
tion at North Carolina Central!
University, Dr. Naren Tambe,
; editor of the newsletter, suggests
that the progress made by Ne
groes during the decade of the
60s is slowing.
Dr. Tambe presents figures
showing substantial gains in in
[ come for American Negroes, im
proved job status, an increasing
i share of the population, and
j more urban dwellers in a set of
statistical tables labeled "Real
Story of Negro Gains."
The statistics indicate that 35
per cent of American Negroes
lived in the rural areas of tne
nation in 1960, while only 30
per cent are rural dwellers to
day. Even in 1960, 52 per cent
of American Negroes were dwell
ers in the inner-city and today
55 per cent live there.
Fifteen per cent of the Ne
groes live in the suburbs today,
as compared to 13 per cent in
1960.
In 1960, the Negro share of
the population was 10.6 per cent.
The census bureau's latest esti
mate is that Negroes make up
11.3 per cent of the population.
The most significant gains
seem to be in education and in
| come. In 1960, half of the Negro
population had 10.7 years of
school or less, while half of the
whites had at least 12.3 years,
j The figure today, according to
the census bureau estimate, is
12.6 years for whites and 12.2
years for Negroes.
I In terms of income, 48 per
cent of the Negroes in 1960 were
in families below the officially
designated poverty level, while
only 23 per cent are in that clas
sification today. Only eight per
cent of American Negroes had
incomes above $10,000 in 1960.
The latest figures indicate that
21 per cent of Negro families
are in that category.
Even though inflation accounts
for a portion of the increase,
there has been an absolute gain
for the black wage earner. In
1960 the median income of Ne
gro families was 55 per cent
of. that of whites, while today
it is 63 per cent.
In the official census catego
res of occupations, the percent
age of Negro workers holding
particular types of jobs has in
creased in the semi-skilled and
skilled worker classification,
and in the professional and tech
nical classification, with a large
increase in the clerical and sales
workers category. In 1960 only
nine per cent of Negro worker*
were clerks or salesworkers,
while today 15 per cent hold that
type of job.
There has been a correspond
ing decrease in the area of ser
vice workers (laundries, restau
rants, delivery services,! jani
torial work, etc.), with small de
I creases for unskilled workers.
I Farm workers showed the larg
est decrease, with 12 per cent
doing that type of work in 1980
and four per cent in the latest
figures.
In his lead article, however,
Dr. Tambe predicts that the Nix
