Trustee Denies Hodgin, Gibbs
Chairman Says
Neither A&T
Officer to Quit
GUEKXSBOKO — Robert
Fraizer, ch;iirm;in of A&T
CoUefjc Tnistpe Roanl. made
a fltit denial this Aveck of the
statement contained in a story
apiiearinpf in the CAROLINA
TIMES last week tp the effect
that tlie scliool’s husiness inan-
asrer liad resigned and its jtresi-
dMit would retire at the close
of school in June, 1%0.
It was Fraeier who attacked the
charges brought by the CAROLINA
TIMES in an editorial of Septem
ber- 26t to the etfcct that E. R.
Hodgin, A&T business manager,
had a s rangle-hold on the sehool’g
president which prevented him
from exercising the full authority
of his office.
His reply to the TIMES charges
stated that “Ray Hodgin has been
one of the most able servants to
North Carolina. He has done the
State of North Carolina an inesti
mable scrvicc; and its a shame to
ofsparage him at this time.”
However, the TIMES disclosure
of Hodgin’s questionable manipu
lations as A&T’s business mana
ger took on added significance
when the director of the North
Carolina department of adminis
tration, Paul M. Johnson, stated in
the GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS
during the week of October 19,
after making an inspection of the
school that “it appears as if the
school is maintaining a highly .in-
effieient operation.”
It was diselcped furtl»er that
President Warmot^ T. Gibbs and
Hodgin were «t dfcagreement as
