SHEPARD A MORATORIUM ON DOC TORATES; Isn't- it about time j for Negro colleges, to declare a recess on honorary doctorates? The practice of conferring these honorary degrees has become s.» wide-spread and promiscuous that it closely resemble? a racket I:. it is not checked now ttiis supposed to represem the highest level of achievement in the van • ous areas of learning and ac complishincßt. wili soon become empty and meaningless. Ur have no quarrel wilh the institution that confers these honor- on individuals who, by meritorious and dis linrf service to (heir fellow man over a period of time have proven through their services and contributions that they are deserving of such honors. Schools of hie it er education where doctorate; are earned through hard work and studious effort, measure eaoli candidate for a doe • torate. decree with a yard stick (ha* determines with unfailing accuracy the candi dates' fitness to receive this degree. Is it not, therTore an insult to these men and women who, by; their effort and labor, have earn-1 these coveted degrees to be plac ed in the same category with • those who have had these same honors “thrust" upon them be-j cause of political, financial or so cial expediency" Possibly with- j out, exception all honorary doc.-j tors degrees conferred by white; institutions have been well earn-! ed by the recipients These re-! cipients are men and women! whose distinction :s so well known that the mere mention of theiri names brines to mind many of their notable achievements. This is just as it should he out • colleges and universities must re-j cognize the harm they arc doing j in this respect. They must realize they are no! helping to raise the! intellectual level of our group b> j this practice, but are cheapening! and lowering it. Our schools should exercise the greatest rare j in determining that the sum to-; tal of achievement of the indl-j virtual# they are considering for j honorary doctorate degrees equals! or surpasses the standards set nyi the loading mstitutioir# for those. attempting to qualify for these! degrees. We need and need badly, j men and women, who either through scholastic attainment# or j proven abilities and achievements,, have qualified themselves to con-; tribute to the betterment of our; race, our state and our country, j A group parading around in the | hollowed vestments of honorary doctorates wili never contribute; anything in this direction, IX’) WE WANT ANYTHING 0 We heard a small group of "ourj people" discussing hist week what I the Negroes in Raleigh need. One .said, "we need Negro firemen and; more Nemo police officers. Am ; other said we need more and bet j • ter homes on better - t-reet? Then, , there was the suggestion that: maybe more 10b? arid better pay-j j inr jobs would cure our ills here, i And et cet-ra. efe cotra. et cetvs, I While the discussion was going, !on one thought continued <o oe cunv our mind, "Do the Negroes jin Raleigh want anything wortn -1 while?” It, is eximatic that when you want something, that, is real ly want something, you will work unceasingly -to get, it. And you won't give up until you have what, you want. Lukin e ovpr our situation squarely in the face, it Is rather difficult, to believe that we act ually want anything here if our wants are to be judged by our es ! forts. There may be those who ! believe that wishing for things to to change, will aomchow bring a ? bout a change for the better. 1 Borne day these wishful dreamers I will awaken and learn how th®v | have disillusioned themse!
