President Rudolph Jones Resigns Presidency Of FSTC
Health Given
As Reason for
Quitting Post
FAYETTEVILLE— The
trustees of Fayetteville State
College revealed today that the
resignation of President
Rudolph Jones, submitted at
• regular meeting on January
30th, has reluctantly been
accepted.
A committee of three has
been appointed to seek a suc
cessor to Dr. Jones. He is sche
duled to leave the FSC post
on July 31, 1969.
In stepping down from the
$22,000 post Di Jones said
he considered this action
appropriate because of his
"health and for other personal
reasons."
Now serving his 13th year
as head of the institution,
Jones has seen significant im
provements during his tenure
of office. The curriculum has
been expanded. The number
of students and teachers has
doubled. Faculty salaries have
more than doubled. Many new
staff members have been added.
Expansion of the physical
plant has been exceptional.
Fhyacal facilities that have been
improved include the construc
tion of seven new buildings,
extensive roadways, walkways,
parking areas, and campus
lighting. They also include
renovation of three buildings,
the construction of four tennis
courts and a track on the athle
tic field. The college has pur
chased over 60, acres of land,
across the railroad from the
present campus. On this tract

profit. And, it is the same for
black as well as white business
men."
"It is my personal feeling,"
he continued, "that the prob
lem of accepting the reality of
this is not with the buying
public as much as it is with the
managements of black enter
prises. I know we, at North

not at first convinced that, in

cial considerations. We now

Phantom Idea
Abandoned
After 1-Hour
A brand new university de
signed to give a practical, black
oriented education was opened
and closed here this week.
Malcolm X Liberation Uni
versity began operations Mon
day but closed within an hour.
Orientation was started Mon
day and classes were scheduled
to get into high gear next week.
The school, created by
Afro-American students from
Duke University, was located
in the downtown offices of the
Foundation for Community
Development(FCD).
The basic purpose of the
school, as explained by Mike
Mcßride, president of the
Duke Afro-American Society,,
was to offer a "pragmatic"
education for black persons.
The school was especially
geared to courses providing
tools for use in working on
problems of the black com
munity.
"Malcolm X University was
designed to provide something
for black persons which Duke
University either could not or
would not," Mcßride said.
"That something is a curricu
lum which is meaningful and
relevant to serious black stu
dents."
Mcßride, a sophomore maj
oring in physics, pointed to
Malcolm X University's five
planned "core courses" as an
example of meaningful, rele
vant curriculum material. The
required course* were: Afro-
American History; A Study of
the Black Community; The
Psychology of Racism; The
Role of the Black Church in
the Black Revolution; and
Afro-American Political
Science. Many other courses
ware planned.

Maynard Jackson Enters Race
For Vice Mayor of Atlanta, Ga.
By Raleigh Bryans
Maynard Jackson, the 31-
year-old Negro lawyer who ran
against U. S. Sen. Herman Tal
madge last fall, formally an
nounced Friday he is a candi
date for vice mayor of Atlanta.
Jackson is the first to de
clare for the office of vice
mayor, which is held now by
Sam Massell, an unannounced
though obvious candidate for
mayor.
In his announcement, Jack
son said his own candidacy is
based on an assumption that
Massell will not reoffer for vice
mayor but "is going to offer
for another office."
Though a member of a dis
tinguished Atlanta family, Jack
son was all but an unknown
when he emerged last year as
a candidate against Talmadge,
a political force of long stand
ing.
On a statewide basis, Jack
son lost to Talmadge by a 3
to 1 margin, but in Atlanta
proper, the youthful lawyer
edged out the incumbent sena
tor. He noted this Friday.
"When the city of Atlanta
on last Sept. 11 voted for me

Opposition to
Unfair Plans
Is Expressed
RALEIGH ln a statement
issued this week through its
executive secretary, E. B. Pal
mar, the Board of Directors
of the N. C. Teachers Associa
tion in a regular session held
March 15 issued the following
statement of its action and
stand on the matter of a mer
ger with the N. C. Education
Association:
Authorized the Executive
Secretary to again make
known its long established po
sition on merger. "The North
Carolina Teachers Association
has requested and sought a fair
and equitable merger with the
North Carolina Education As
sociation for more than five
years. This has been and still is
the desire of the NCTA. Nego
tiations towards this end are
at an impasse not because of
'Black Militancy/ 'Black
Power,' nor desires for 'Black
Separatism,' but due to the
lack of men of 'Good Faith'
to negotiate terms of merger
based on the equality of man
kind If 'Black Militancy' on
the part of NCTA leadership
and membership means the
failure to accept the doleing
out of token, general, limited
terms of merger, then we own
up to 'Black Militancy.' If
'Black Power' means, the fail
ure of NCTA to accept a plan
of merger which, when guaran
tees and written assurances are
to be left out and a "One-Man-
One-Vote" principle is to be
used to absorb the NCTA and
eliminate Negro leadership,
participation, contributions,
and achievements by the vote
of a 3-1 membership ratio,
and the failure of NCTA lea
dership and not stand up for
what is best in the interest of
all educators and education in
North Carolina, then we own
up to 'Black Power.' If 'Black
Separatism' means that the
NCTA leadership and member
ship will not be 'swoUowed up'
nor stand by and see its mem
bars being un-ethically, unpro
fsarin nilty and immorally
abused, eliminated from the
profession and derrHed In
rank will stay united and not
