President Carter responded to the concerns of black business owners and of congressional lead ers after hearing that the preference might be ended by tentative agreements reached between trade negotiators of the United States and foreign governments. Congressman Parren Mitchell of Maryland praised the President's decision. "I'm delighted with the development," he said. "It shows a respon siveness by Mr. Strauss and will facilitate passage of the trade bill." Ambassador Robert Strauss is the President's negotiator for trade matters.

The bank became the first black marching band to perform in a President ial Inaugural parade. It took the show in 1960 when President Kennedy was sworn into office. Known as the dean of black college band directors, Grier has trained more band directors of black colleges than prob bly anyother educator.

Crier's students in the Triangle area include Shaw University's Edward Graves, NCCU's Edward . and William Moon, and Jerry Head. The band direc tors of Alabama State, Texas Southern, Morris Brown, Kentucky State, and many other schools are Grier taught as well. Graves recalled that he played clarient in Tenne ssee State's band that appeared on nationwide television in 1961. Five other players who like him self are now college band di rectors were in that band. William Moon, band di rector at North Carolina Central, recalled that he had performed in a "pretty good" band, at Tennessee State he' learned many things that he previously didn't believe, could be done with a band. Like many of Crier's students, Moon and his brother v Ed ward say what .made the band great was that the players, instructors, and arrangers took great pride in their work. The mark of Crier's suc cess during his 22 years as band director at Tennessee State is measured in part through its many .students who are now educators, but probably as important is the measure by which his inno vations in music have been accepted by the big schools.

'Tim Crosson is a fresh man from Richmond, Vir ginia, and did an excellent job for us in the half mile of the distance medley and also won his heat in the half mile run " said A&T head coach Joe Buggs.

North Carolina Central will be trying to return the Eagle tracksters to greatest with the appoint ment of new head coach George Lipscomb. Their 49 points in last year's MEAC Championship was good enough for fifth, but they look for better re sults in 1979. The strength should come from the hurd lers and the shorter relay men. Accredited veterans are Lewis Fields and Eddie Romes, who finished 1-2 in last year.s 1 10-meter hurd les; and Garcia Chavis, win ner in the 400 intermediate hurdles. Tony Shipman re turns for the 200-meter dash. Like NCCU, the Unlver-I sity of Maryland E.S. has a new coach in Robert i Brown.
