Hornsby Howell Plans Lineup Shifts
After Aggies Stopped by Fla. A&M
Tallahassee, Fla. ? You got
a feeling that A&T coach Horns
by Howell meant every word
when he said, "there are going
to be a lot of changes made."
The humiliation to Howell was
evident. He had just pranced
the sidelines for 60 harrowing
minutes as his Aggies were
smothered 33-0 by arch rival
Florida A&M. It was the worst
beating to an A&T team since
Howell took over three seasons
ago.
"We had absolutely no de
fensive secondary," said Howell,
"but we are changing the whole
defensive setup, including some
personnel. We could not have|
stopped their glee club the way |
we played tonight."
FAMU quarterback Steve
Scruggs provided most of the
Aggies' woes. He riddled the
inept defensive secondary with
short, medium and long bombs,
twice for touchdowns.
"We just didn't do well at
all," volunteered Howell, still
smoldering in the humid dress
ing room. "Some of our person
nel just quit on us, but it won't
happen again."
Kind words were hard to
come by. but tha A&T coach did
give bis approval to tb? per
formance of senior running back
Coach Hornsby Howell
Harold Riley and freshmen
backs James Lilly and Robert
Holton.
1 Lilly was extremely effective
running punts and kickoffs,
shaking lose once for 49 yards.
"We are going to move Lilly to
the defensive secondary starting
Monday," said Howell.
In spite of the score; the Rat
tlers were unable to run on
A&T, getting only 31 yards to
the Aggies' 98 on the ground.
"Our front line defense did a
good job, except for a few peo
ple," said Howell. "I also thought
BlacknaU, our linebacker and
tackle Billy Wideman played
well. But other than that, there
ar* going to be some changes
made."
A&T Graduates Teach Undergraduates
How To Take Interviews To Get Better Jobs
College students have not
learned to master job interviews
and as a result, many of them
are denied good paying posi
tions, according to W. I. Morris,
director of placement services
at A&T State University.
In an effort to reverse this
trend, three A&T successful
graduates will sponsor a job
Interview clinic on campus
Thursday and Friday for the
University's undergraduates.
The project is the idea of
James Brannon, a commercial
underwriter with Liberty Mu- '
tual Insurance Company in Bos- '
ton. Brannon, who has spent a
number of years as a college
recruiter for his firm, will be
assisted by James Spurlock, an
employee relations specialist
with Appalachian Power Com-,
pany in Roanoke, Va., and Mrs.
Carol Pinkett of Humble Oil
Corporation of Houston.
Also working with the team
will be Philip Bell of IBM's Re
search Triangle facility in Dur
ham and Miss Pat Joyner of
General Electric Corporation in
Philadelphia, and Mrs. Dorothy
Jones, assistant placement di
rector at A&T.
i "The main point we will be
trying to get across to the stu
dent is that he must sell him
self to the interviewer," Bran
non pointed out. "Detailed ans
wers are very important. The
student must tell of his ex
periences and background. Sim
ply answering questions with a
yes or no is not sufficient.
"An interviewer becomes
much more interested in a per
son who can talk about himself
and his experiences because
that person can adapt to a po
sition much more quickly."
One of the most important
parts of the clinic according to
Brannon are mock interviews
with students.
"What we are going to do is
tape these interviews and then
1 play them back, showing the
student where his interview
weaknesses are." i
"I found that often students
had difficulty in selling them
selves and that in many instan
ces their abilities were much
greater than what was indicated
in the interview. This clinic can
| be a great help to those stu
dents."
"Umen'i Day"
1 At 11:00 a.m., Sunday, Oct.
25, Mr. Joseph McKinney, the
president of the Laymen's or
ganization of the Second Epis
| copal District, will speak.

A Billy Graham movie, "For
i Pete's Sake!" will be shown at
the Terrace Theater in Friendly
Shopping Center October 22-28.
Plan now to see this movie.
Veterans' Comer
Editor's Note: Veterans and
their families are asking thou
sands of questions concerning
' the benefits their Government
j provides for them through the
Veterans Administration. Below |
are some representative queries.
, Additional information may be
obtained at any VA office.
Q ? I plan to enter college
under the G. I. Bill and will be
taking 16 semester hours. How
much will VA pay me since I
have no dependents?
A ? If you have no dependents
and carry the full-time load you
anticipate, your monthly pay
j ments will be $175 at the present
| rate.
Q ? Upon my discharge from
the service, I received a lump
sum disability severance pay
ment. Will I have to pay this
back to the government if I am
awarded VA compensation for
the same disability?
A ? The law requires that
VA monthly compensation pay
ments be withheld until the
amount received is equal to the
amount of severance pay you
received because of the dis
ability.
Q ? May I purchase a home
with a G. I. loan over the VA
appraisal?
A ? Yes, provided you pay
in cash the difference between
the reasonable value determined
by the VA and the price of the
house.
Q ? I entered military ser
vice last year before completing
high school. When I get out of
service will the VA pay me any
educational allowance while I
complete high school? If so,
how much?
A ? Yes, if you have more
than 180 days active service.
If you are a single veteran, you
will receive $81 a month for
adult evening high school or
$175 a month for full-time
schooling; more if you have de
pendents. The law entitles you
to this allowance without de
ducting anything from your en
titlement to further education
and training.

A&T Receives Grant of $20,000.00
To Find, Develop Fuiure Leaders
A&T State University Friday
received a grant of $20,000 from
I the North Carolina Leadership
Institute, Inc. for a program de
signed to identify and develop
future leaders for business, gov
I ernment and industry.
In announcing the grant, Dr.
Lewis C. Dowdy, president of
the University, said A&T will!
be the first black institution in '
I the state selected to participate
in the North Carolina Fellows
Program, which has operated
since 1967 at UNC Chapel Hill.
Davidson College, North Caro
! lina State University and East
Carolina University.
Dowdy said that the A&T pro
! gram will be directed by William
C. Parker, Jr., associate dean of
student affairs. "We are pleased
i to be a part of this unique pro
! gram which will serve to elimi
nate some of the stumbling 1
' blocks which potential leaders
sometimes face," said Dowdy.
i
i The initial leadership pro
| gram was developed In connec
| tion with the Smith Richardson
? Foundation.
Parker said the initial project j
at A&T will involve 15 students
during the 1970-71 school year.
A number of other students will
be added next year.
"We will try to tailor this
program to the individual needs
of the participants," said Parker,
"but the emphasis will be placed
on informal meetings, on-cam
pus seminars and personal con
tacts with prominent leaders in
different fields."
During the year, the partici
pants will receive career place
ment and academic and social
counseling, and once during the
term a special off-campus re
treat will be conducted.
At the end of each year, par
ticipants in the program will
have the opportunity to take
part in an internship program,
either in an educational institu
tion or in a business or govern
mental facility. The students
will be encouraged to try a dif
ferent field each summer.
In addition to Parker, per
sonnel employed by the central
office of the North Carolina
Leadership Institute will serve
as consultants for the students.
Parker said students will not
receive direct scholarships nor
receive formal university credit
for being in the project.
"This high level program Is
designed to supplement and con
tribute effectively and positively
to the undergraduate experience*
of each participant" said Park
er.
Noon Rocks Displayed At
A and T State
Samples of rocks taken from
the moon and some of the equip
ment used in the Apollo moon
landing missions were a part
of a display and lecture to be
presented Thursday at A&T
State University.
The illustrated lecture en
tilled "Cleaner than Clean," was
presented by Dr. J. M. Shreyer,

the moon landings. In his talk
at A&T, he will describe an ul
tra clean room facility such as
the one at Oak Ridge, which
was used by personnel of his
department to sterilize the
"moonboxes" and auxiliary sam
pling equipment.
He will also discuss proposals
for the application of such clean
I room systems for use in homes,
offices, institutions and indus
| tries to reduce respiratory prob
lems and communicable diseas
es.
Schreyer who formerly taught
| chemistry at Asheboro High
School, was employed by the
War Department from 1941 to
