SUDDEN ACCREDIATION! I I “ At last after long years of ef fort A & T College joins the sac red ranks of the accredited. Three months ago-^—all was quite and Serene on East Market Street Peace—its so, wonderfu IE. Ray ^odgin, the school’s business manager, was satisfied. President Warmoth Gibbs was not so happy but his hands were tied by the iron, hand of Hodgin’s dictatorship and T's mighty warriors of the gridiron and the ba.sketball ^durts were busy winning cham bionships. New, beautiful buildings yere going up on the. most spa Cio.us campus in Afro-American pollegedom. AH over the nation, June grads of A. and T. were fcrambling around trying to get Jobs. Doors were being slammed ■ in their faces because the schools from which they had obtained ^icir parchments was unaccredit- W. Over in Durham, N. C. L. E, Austin, Publisher of the CARO LINA TIMES, had a confe^rence \yith several A. and T. teachers and professors. These faculty tnembers were tired of the long wait being suffered by A. and T. for all-important accrediation. Publisher Austin made a solemn ^omise to these men and women . ,U)at he would not rest until A&T I Jitined the ranks of the recog- I nizcd schools of North Carolina, visited Greensboro where a branch office' of the TIMES had Mon established with financla! aid the Gate City's leading Ne- krocs who wanted a militant voice ^b' fight for Negro rights in this (Tea. Austin neld more talks with faculty members and alumni and learned that there was bitter dis- jension in the ranks at A&T. As % result of these conferences the **t of a series of explosive arti- I A4T Faculty” and a blistering pttorial, ‘‘Tragedy of Errors At kT” appeared .in the TIMES on ^turday, August 8, 1959. The sec- nd editorial “Who Is The Power Ehind The Scene at A&T'?” (CA- JLINA TIME, Sept. 26, 1959) put blame for A&T’s lack of ac- reditation on the shoulders of the ehool’s business manager, E. Ray Hbdgin, where it really belonged. This blistering, factual editorial aroused Aggieland more than any other editorial ever has. Hundreds of phone calls, scores of letters and several visitors swamped our Greensboro office. An aroused populace offered bits of informa tion about inner-workings at A&T. ‘ The vast majority congratulated us on our militancy and offered assistance. Others, embittere(i over some harsh-treatment they might have obtained from A&T administrations of the past, submitted filthy bits of malice-fiiled scandal, most of which were relegated to our waste baskets. We explained in a later article “With Malice Towards None” (Tiipes, October 10, 1959) thaj our camjiaign was not one of spite or one designed ot help dis gruntled parties get even. Our editorial “Duty of the Trus tee Board at A&T” (Times, Octo ber 3, 1959) called on the board to take immediate steps to get rid of any individuals who have been standing in the way of A&T’s accreditation. After this appeared, the Trustee Board called a hasty meeting ,in which they absolved Hodgin of all blame in A&T’s plight. In a prepared release to the daily press, the trustees stated that the “major holdback to the schools accreditation 'was THE LACK OF PH.D.’S ON THE STAFF. We answered this release with another editorial, “What Is It; A Good Hodgin or A Poor A&T'?” (Times, October 10, 1959) The revelation of Shortage in t^ student fund at the school the fol-: lowing . wepk,. wfis of up signifi-: cance execept for the fact that the daily press joined the TIME^j editorially in the belief that all | was not well in Aggietown. Our, next editorial “Apply The Remedy i at A&T.” (Times, October 31, 1959) called on the trustees to make a thorough investigation of the schools finances dating back and before the administratoin of the wu gulpinc dowB more thap TEN AND ONE HALF MILUON DOL LARS in State bond issue fundi. All the. Negro schools in the state got less ttian one - half million dollars out of the almost nineteen million voted by North Carolina taxpayers |pr allotment to our schools. Less than three weeks, -ifter our last editorial appeased the South ern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools suddenly ac credited A&T. What caused this sudden “change Of heart” on the part of the Association? Three months before the first ■ TIMEJS article appeared they were saying A&T lacked sufficient Ph.D’s on the faculty and that certain cour ses at A&T were sub-standard. Now, more Ph.D’s or not, better courses or not, A&T College is accredited.' It pure wishful thmking to surmise that accreditation would have come to A&T at this early date had no some stimulus been interjected. In psychology we learn that there can be no re action without a stimuli. There can be no effect without a cause. Judge for yourselves whether or not the CAROLINA TIMES cam-1 paign was the stimuli and the' cause which motivated the re- ■ action and effect of accreditation for A&T College! es "DIsrehslon Bluford and huraar^M. C- Webster, now deceased. (Webster was jailed for misappropriation of A&T funds several years ago). On November 14, we again blast ed Hodgin for refunding $99,000.- 00 to the state of North Carolina and published a cartoon which showed Hodgin tossing the money back into the state coffers while the University of North Carolina Need Money in a Hurry?
