By JOE BECTON
North Carolina A&T’s Aggies
play host today to NCC’s Eagles
in the 27th renewal of their an
nual grid classic. The game in
Greensboro’s Memorial Stadium
beginning at 2 o’clock promises
to be the top turkey-day tilt on
tap in the CIA A.
NCC seeks a victory to regain
the prestige lost by the degrad
ing sting from the Blues of Blue-
field State College two weeks
ago. And it’s hardly necessary to
add that this is “The Game” for
the Aggies who hold a 12-11
edge over NCC in the annual se
ries. Only three games have en
ded in ties.
Forecasters rate the grudge
contest “a toss-up.”
Edward Hudson, quarterback,
will engineer the invading Ea-
elr"? today for (he last time be
fore a Tar iieel ai|'.Uence. I’he
Riddickmen end thi; season in
Tallahassee, Fla., on Dec. 7 in a
re-match of a ilu-canceiled bat
tle with Coach Jack Gaither’s
Florida A&M Rattlers.
In addition to Hudson, seniors
playing their last game for NCC
today include: tacklers, John
Baker, Baxter Holman and Eu
gene Cpleman; guards, Joe Al
len, Charles Baron; and replace
ment kicker, Dearl Webster.
Conference-wise, the Aggies
sport a 3-2-0 record, the Eagles
a 4-2-0. Both have victories over*
Virginia State and both have lost
to Maryland State College’s
front-running Hawks.
Last Thanksgiving, the Eagles
were victorious on homeground,
but in ‘55, on the Greensboro
turf, they settled for a 7-7 dead
lock.
A. revved up running attack,
featuring Cliff Jackson, Hal Joy
ner, Tom Johnson, Rossie Bar
field, and Pete Hayes, indicates
that the Riddickmen are out to
day for a win, not a tie.
Morgan Says Dr. Elder Gave Him Liberal Education
News analysis and commentator Edward, P.
Morgan, a recent campus visitor, gave his nation
wide ABC radio audience (on Oct. 23) the follow
ing account of an experience he had with Presi-
ident Elder.—Editor.
This reporter received a liberal education
in a matter of minutes this morning on the
campus of North Carolina College here in
Durham. Some 1400 Negroes, mostly from
I this state and other parts of
ithe South but representing the
Ifarthest corners of the coun-
Itry too, comprise the student
Ibody, in this state-supported
iinstitution. Maybe at the
iUniversity of North Carolina
ji.n Chapel Hill there is some
ireticence on the part of some
funder graduates and some
®faculty members to express
Morgar their views, pro and con on
civil rights in general, the so-called race
qij.esti,on in.
iiqt see.TO to at North CaroLiro College.
Since their wrioie future, not to ir/ention the?.r
every-day living, is saturated with this prob
lem and attempts to solve it, it is not sur
prising that they are absorbingly interested
in it. It was not on this point that I got my
lesson.
I learned it from President Alfonso Elder, a
graduate of Atlanta and Columbia universi
ties. We were talking about Little Rock. I
mentioned as I had mentioned publicly be
fore, that to me one of the most moving as
pects of that tortured story was the courage
and dignity of the nine Negro students, parti
cularly on Ahe first day when one of them
Elder
on Ahe :
ran or ra(j(^all^hejamut uI J
College Commumty Goes Over Top In UNF Campal
Faubus’ guardsmen in front of Central High
and was denied. “I am notl
sure,” 1 said, “that anybodjf
else could have done that.’l
Dr. Elder caught me up. “Thel
Negro,” he said, “does not likel
to think that the courage, the|
self-restraint, even the dignity|
lie majf exhibit in the clutch :
of crisis and the gloweringl
shadow of physical violence,!
he does not like to think that
these qualities are peculiar
to him or his race. He wants them recognized
only as human qualities; indeed if the situa
tion at Little Rock had been reversed, if a
minority of white students—with a legacy of
deprivation—had been confronted with an
armed back ground standing betw'een them
and their classrooms, the chancy s.. c the*’-
would have shown brave determii^ion too.”
What an eloquent tribute andlpestimony
this IS, I submit, to the innate nisp,
of tiie color ol the on tlis
i,ridividual huinan package. Here'if*^ Nearo
not only decli/iing to take credit fo; patience
and mG|deiatio;i and courage but ];)rotesting
that these things after all are or^y human
attributes and should not be used^to set his
race apart. I cannot think, for thfc moment
anyway, of any more convincing Yargiiment
for the proposition that what t|ie Negro
basically wants is only full recog^iition as a
human being, equipped with the. strengths
and weaknesses of other human beings, but
with the inalienable right to be t^ated as a
human being, equal under the laW, It could
just be that the people who want, to deny
Negros this right are a littlfe less human

ampaign
For the third consecutive
year, the local campus United
Fund Drive topped the goal as
signed to it by UF officials.
Headed by President Elder
and Dr. Charles A. Ray, director
of the News Bureau, the drive
netted UF $4,930.75. The college
had been assigned a quota of
$4,800.00.
By comparison, the overall
drive in Durham had fallen a
few percentage points shy of its
expected goal of $447,000 when
the Echo went to press.
UF Co-chairman S. Parks
Alexander paid tribute to the
“terrific job” being done at NCC
in acknowledging the college’s
most recent showing last week.
Dr. Elder and Dr. Ray attri
buted the success of the local
drive to “the continued enthusi
astic support of our public spiri
ted faculty, staff, and student
body.” Miss Hazel Borden acted
as secretary -for the campus so-
