to give it any “genuine” juris
diction over student discipline.
“It merely has the power to
hear cases and make recommen
dations to the Welfare Commit
tee,” he stated.
“Further,” Ferguson contin
ued, “ we will recommend that
a plan be effected which will
allow students the option of eat
ing on or off campus. Simul
taneously we will recommend
that campus students be relieved
of the compulsion to pay for
meals which they do not eat.”
The SGA president stated that
the inadequate facilities and the
almost invariable menus of the
cafeteria have been the cause of
much and grave concern among
students and the administration
alike.
Concerning intercollegiate re
lations, Ferguson said his ad
ministration will recommend
that NCC participate more in
nationally sponsored programs
for colleges and universities.
“Such participation, he said,
“will inevitably enhance the-
prestige and recognition of our
student body with other insti
tutions of higher learning.”
Ferguson said that his rea
son for promoting the academic
and cultural lives of NCC’s stu
dents springs from the fact that
the student body is lacking in
an appreciation for the learning
and culture outside the class
room and compulsory programs.
“We hope, Ferguson stated, “to
get a bill passed that will pro
vide for the student govern
ment to plan and sponsor de
bates, forums, panel discussions,
outstanding speakers and pos
sibly exchange programs. It is
hoped that by such activities
students will become more
aware of the issues surrounding
-•them on campus, state, national,
and international levels,” he
said.
He said that committees have
been set-up to work with these
proposals.
The inaugural c e r e m o n-
ies for the student government
association president and vice-
president will be held next
week.

by the state legislature in early
July of this year. The money
will be used for sixteen build
ings, equipment, and improve
ment projects for the college.
In late July of this year, mem
bers of the college’s administra
tion, state officials, and repre
sentatives! from architectural
and building corporations toured
the campus examining possible
sites for new buildings.
The committees are anticipat-
■ ing needs and services, equip
ment, space requirements, and
are considering various other
details in the preliminary plan
ning for the expansion program.
Among the committees already
constituted are the Committee
on Equipping the Language

son, chairman; The Committee
on Closed Circuit Television, J.
E. Parker, chairman; and the
Committee on Construction of
a Storage Facility, Jamin R.

-Leaders Approve March Idea-
Continued from page 1)
“the idea is not a plan; all the
leaders did was to approve the
idea.
“Of course,” R.ev. Elkins
agreed, “the students will have
to decide whether they’ll par
ticipate. If it (the march) come
about, they shouldn’t let it in
terfere with their responsibili
ties as students,” he concluded.
The committee planning the
march on Raleigh said the date
and other details of the ‘march’
are still .indefinite.
North Carolina’s Governor
Terry Sanford issued a state
ment after first hearing of the
proposed march saying he had
“no intentions of letting groups
over-run the governor’s home.
The place to transact business
is in the capitol, where my
office is located.”
After hearing of the integra-
tionists’ decision to march on
the capitol, Sanford reiterated
his previous statement that such
a march “would be extremely
unwise (and) would produce
nothing good.”
N C C’s leaders refused to
comment on the governor’s re
marks.
OTHER PLANS ANNOUNCED
In other planned action, the
college NAACP group, in con-
Committee on a Student Cen
ter, and the Committee on a
New Cafeteria.
junction with the March on
Washington Committee, plans to
stage a mourning march hour
Sunday, Sept. 22, in honor of
the four Negro girls killed by a
bomb in Birmingham, Ala.,
while attending Sunday School.
Participants in the mourning
march will leave NCC at 5 P.M.,
march to St. Joseph’s Church on
Fayetteville St., where there
will be a bell tolling ceremony;
then march ■ silently through
downtown Durham, according
to Baker.
MEETING ANNOUNCED
The first formal meeting of
the college NAACP chapter is
slated for Wed., Sept. 26, in the
Commerce Building auditorium.
A spokesman for the group
said “the meeting is being held
to solicit membership, to re
evaluate integration in Durham,
and to set up test teams for
checking once segregated busi
nesses.”
NAACP President Baker said
it is necssary to establish a stu
dent chapter at NCC because it
“helps students become a part
of the nationwide move to eradi
cate racial discrimination in
America.
“The present progress in Dur
ham,” he continued, “is inade
quate in that no one knows what
progress has been made. There
are a lot of generalities and no
specifics,” Baker said.
This marks the fifth year
NCC will have a chapter of the
NAACP.
