Six students have alreadyenrolled in A&T's new Ph.D.program which was approvedby the University of NorthCarolina Board of Governorsthis fall.

"We are excited about theprogram," said Suresh Chan-dra, dean of the School ofEngineering at A&T. "It givesus the opportunity to workwith outstanding graduatestudents and allows facultymembers to get involved inPh.D. level course work andresearch."

UNC system president CD.Spangler announced the newprogram last month.

The doctoral program,which is a first for A&T, is acooperative effort with NorthCarolina State and the Univer-sity of North Carolina atCharlotte.

It will enable students totake courses on the three cam-puses through the Microelec-tronics Center of NorthCarolina.

The program is intended forPh.D. students at UNC-Charlotte or A&T who areenrolled in the Ph.D. programin engineering at N.C. State.The degree will be awarded byN.C. State.

The program was proposedas a way to involve A&T in adoctoral program withoutduplicating an existing pro-gram or incurring the expenseof a new program.

The departments par-ticipating at N.C. State arecivil, electrical, computer,mechanical and aerospaceengineering. Other depart-mants may join in the future,

Is there a black male shortage in thiscountry? Maybe so and maybe not.

According to the Bureau of Census(1972-1982), there are more than nineBlack men for every 10Black women inthe U.S. population.

It's Your Attitude

However, if Black women do this,they are only pitying and playing thestereotype roll as "mama" for theBlack man.

Indeed, he is implying these thingsBlack women should not deprive

themselves of education or of their oc-cupations just to make their brotherfeel more superior.

Black Male Shortage?Ten TipsOne of the biggest problems college students face is

how to be successful and make the best of you college

The Bureau of Census reports agreater number of females than maleswho have encountered success as theresult of educational opportunitieswhich began in the '60s.

But what exactly is Hall saying? Is heimplying that victories declaredthrough the Civil Rights Movementhurt Black family lifestyles rather thanhelped them?

Thus, a greater number of Blackfemales now hold managerial andotherwise status positions on the na-tional occupational scale. Consequent-ly, Black women whoearn large salariesaspire to Black men who earn largersalaries. Herein, said Hall, is perhapswhere the "the black male shortage"myth and lies.

Is he implying that Black women aremerely creating the Black male shortageby becoming educated and successful?Or is he trying to say that Blackestablished women, who claim there is ashortage, would have a Black mate ifthey chose someone who wasn't ontheir career level or above their finan-cial standing?

College may seem long but the years will be gonebefore you know it. Therefore, you should make thebest of the years and use them as your stepping stoneto a successful and prosperous life.

It is hoped that these tips which usually don't getpassed on by friends, instructors or books will beuseful to you.

Save your grade reports because the your gradescan easily be lost or destroyed by the Registrar's Of-fice. Learn to use your intuition and creative im-pulses. Most important of all don't let others make ortry to make decisions for you. The more freely youare able to think for yourself the more happier andsuccessful you will be.

Don't try to rush through college ~ finish wheneveryou can. It may take one, five or maybe even sixyears, but employers do not look down on studentswho take longer to finish. Save money by borrowingbooks from the library, used-book stores or the col-lege bookstore.

yearsRecently, I read a magazine article entitled "Ten

Tips for College Success." I found it very helpful andthought it would be of great help to my fellow Aggies.

The tips were: learn to type because typing is avaluable skill for college students; don't overloadyour schedule, academically or otherwise, duringyour first year of college; choose a course load youcan handle; learn to write well and make this yourmost important goal while in college because it willprove to be very useful in many jobs; and don't beafraid of computers.

According to Hall, the Civil RightsMovement of the '60s created educa-tional opportunity for Blacks whichhad not existed previously.

This enabled many Blacks to worktheir way into the American middleclass. But Hall said this progression,however, has not occurred equallyacross gender lines.

Moreover, he implies that there isn'ta Black male shortage but rather Blackwomen have just exceeded Black menby their level of job market success. Butwhat factors does he give to prove thisideology?

But does this one statistic give usreason to believe that there is not ablack male shortage in this country?

In a recent article in "Myth of theBlack Male Shortage," written in TheBlack Collegiate Magazine, Ronald E.Hall explains that "the Black maleshortage" is nothing but a myth createdby popular writers, who failed to con-duct scientific investigationsbeforehand.

This statistic shows that while thenumbers are not totally equal, therearen't drastic differences between thenumber of Black men and Blackwomen

A new face in the televisionstudio at A&T is putting asmile on the faces of students.He is Stuart Davis, an instruc-tor in television production.

Davis is a media specialistresponsible for student train-ing and producing student-oriented and faculty-orientedprojects

"He lets the students go outand try what they have learned

Dr. H.D. Flowers, directorof the Paul Robeson Theatre,said Davis has brought a senseof motivation to the students.One of those students is JoeKing.

"I would tell them to makea determination based oncareer goals," he said. "Theyshould have a specific jobtheywould like to be at for five toseven years, then consider theexperience they have anddecide if the opportunityreaches that goal."

Davis and'his wife, Wanda,have a son born Oct. 7,weighing 8 pounds 15 ounces.

Davis said he has beenthinking about completing hisstudies because it could openadditional job avenues.

Students who get job oppor-tunities like he did beforefinishing school should keeptheir career goals in mind,Davis said

He is also available to makevideos for teachers. He recent-ly completed one for thebiology department.

Davis said his goals includestarting a public affairs pro-gram geared toward thepositive aspect of the com-munity

"The students will benefitbecause all the projects we willdo will be done in the sameformat and vigor as programsproduced for local televisionthus further motivating thestudents," Davis said.

Davis has also helpedstudents produce "HallelujahNight," a program whichfocused on a group of A&Tstudents involved in religiousoutreach service.

in class," saidKing, a studentin mass communications. "Hehas been around a long timeand he tells you the truth andhelps you out if he can."

Davis is working on "InsideAggie Sports" with students ina TV production class.

"Inside Aggie Sports"shows video highlights of Ag-gie football. Davis and thestudents have produced two ofthe 30-minute sports pro-grams which are broadcast oncable channel 32.

He has already had one suchprogram called "JustFriends." It aired for a yearand a half and focused onminority-oriented public af-fairs. It went off the airbecause of a lack of financesand because Davis became in-volved in another project.

"We need black televisionproducers, to serve as a bon-ding agent, particularly bet-ween minority and majority,"Davis said

Davis attended ShawUniversity where he completedthree years before leaving forhis first job as a producer inCharlotte.

"Black folks do thingsnegative and black folks dothings positive. You see somuch negative. Our communi-ty has a lot of good things andthe need is critical through thehelp of the university of com-munity projects."
