LINK SPONSORS WORKSHOPS TO INFORM BLACK STUDENTS
In order to combat the
increasing lack of knowledge
among Black high school
students in the Greensboro
area, on Black instutitions the
Greensboro Chapter of Link
sponsored an informative
workshop on the Bennett
Campus on May 8 from 9:30
to 3:30. Link which is
composed of sorority women,
invited representatives from
black colleges throughout the
southeastern area to discuss
their respective colleges in
rooms of the New science
Building. The Bennett
Students served as guides
leading the students to each
recruiter’s section where they
spoke of the nature of their
college, its curriculum,
teacher-student ratio, financial
aid, social activities, and other
important aspects of the
college experinece.
Colleges represented were
Barber Scotia, Concord, N.C.;
Benedict College , Columbia,
S.C., Bennett College,
Greensboro, N.C.; Bethune
Cookman, Daytona Beach,
Fla, ; Elizabeth City State
University, Elizabeth City ,

University , Richmond, Va.;

and Winston Salem State
University, Winston Salem,
N.C.
With the new school
desegregation plans, problems
have arisen which effect the
black student and the fate of
Black instututions of higher
learning. It has been
discovered that white high
school counselors lack
knowledge about black
colleges and are not
attempting to remedy the
situation. This workshop was
an attempt to counteract this
lack of concern. The students,
mostly juniors and
sophomores, asked many
questions that could not have
been answered elsewhere. As
Mrs. Thomas McFadden ,
president of the Greensboro
Chapter of Link said in her
greeting to the students, “We
‘Jmz band from Dudley High School entertains students during
Link workshop
hope that our experiences . . .
will benefit you in your
decision making for your
future.”
After the morning session
was held the students were
treated to lunch in the Coffee
House. After the afternoon
session they were entertained
by a live jazz band and a disc
jockey.
Also noted among the
students attending the
workshop were a number of
interested junior high school
students who were very
concerned about finding out
about black colleges. Some of
the recruiters even agreed to
correspond with them for the
next several years to help
retain their interest. Some
seniors have already been
accepted by some of the
represented coUeges and took
time to find out more about
them.
Student guides were Myra
Davis, Margaret King, Priscilla
Mungin , Patrica Newton,
Varbara Jeffries, Deree
Alexander, Mattie Randolph,
Deborah Hill, Alikki Harding,
Wilhemina O’Connor, Helen
Harshaw, Julie Pope, Lillie
Foster, Charlotte Byrd, and
Janice Kyle.
