NCM President Points To Valuable
Lessons In The Black Revolution
Speaking at the regular meet
ing of the local Rotary Club
at the Durham Hotel this noon,
Joseph W. Goodloe, president of
North Carolina Mutual Life
Insurance Company, insisted
there are "important insights
to be gained from a study of
the experience of Negro business
and the Black Revolution that
can be useful in facing the reali
ties of change stemming from
other, similar revolutionary
movements.
"In the past two or three
years," Goodloe observed,
"there has been a growing cla
away at the close of activities.
The new queen will receive
cash prizes amounting to
$250.00, with the first and
second runners-up receiving
$50.00 and $25.00 respectfully.
The Durham Business and
Professional Chain, an affiliate

college students, women's lib

movements share a common ele

that institutional barriers be eli
minated. No longer can these in

a racial tag. The common thread
running through all of their rhe

same questions of equality of
opportunity, individual dignity
and the discard of established
stereotypes."

Hoffman Speaks
At Duke Univ.
By JOHN MYERS
Nicholas Von Hoffman, the
anti-establishment columnist of
the Washington Post and com
mentator for CBS spoke at Duke
University Tuesday 26 on the
State of American Society And
Its News Media.
Hoffman charged the news
media of being a monopily or
ganization and defending this
by emphasizing itself as pre
senting the nation with a broad
public service.
He stated that the major pro
blem of the media is its clamor
of operating an objective pro
duction service when in fact,
this is impossible. He stated a
newspaper or any other media
form must please either its ad
vertisers or its readers. It can
not stay in business if it pleases
no one. He further states that
in the past a news producer
governed itself by what was fair

Goodloe pointed out certain
parallels between the initial de

and the later history of Negro
Business. He urged that there
was still another parallel to be
found in the effect of the Black
Revolution on Negro Business
and the possible effects of youth
and women's lib movements on
business as a whole. For, he
maintained, "dynamic and viable
