Successful completion

Camp is the goal of every
ROTC cadet, as this is
one of the requirement
of the ROTC program at
Saint Augtfstine’s Col
lege. Thirty-three ROTC
cadets successfully com
pleted ibis rigorous ad
vance summer camp held
June 6 thru July 24 at
Fort Bragg.
A cadre of ROTC of
ficers and instructors
joined ROTC cadets
from across the country
for this training camp.
The purpose of the camp
was to evlau'ate the per
formance of cadets in
several important,
military areas. Army
readiness skills were
tested, job performances
evaluations were done in
peer ratings, and three
phases were evaluated
for testing of tactical
aplication.
Classroom instruction
combined with practical
application of army
skills was a focal point of
the camp. Summer camp
enables cadets to go to
an army camp and
demonstrate his learned
knowledge as he com
petes with cadets from
all over the country.

junior year will he be
eligible for advance sum
mer camp,” stated CPT

Association, was one of
three student presidents
from black colleges to
participate in ceremonies
marking President
Ronald Reagan’s signing
of an executive order for
the enhancement of
traditionally black in-
: stitutions.
The executive order,
signed September 15,
ordered the Secretary of
Education to oversee ef
forts by all Federal agen
cies to seek ways in
which the agencies could
assist traditionally black
institutions.
Massey was one of 70
persons invited to the
signing ceremony, and to
a luncheon which follow
ed. President Reagan at
tended the White hSusc
luncheon and signed
autographs for the per
sons in attendance.
Other student body
presidents in attendance
were from Southern
University and Grambl-
ing University.
Massey, who is chair
man of the North
Carolina Association of
Black Student Govern
ments, had been in con
tact with Tony Brown,
organizer of a September
28 Black College Day
observance. He believes
his involvement in that
program led to his white
house invitation.
Black College Day will
be observed in 16 states

association headed by
Massey.
The Septembr 28
observance in Raleigh
will begin at 10 a.m. in
the parking lot of
Memorial Auditorium.
A march on the state
capitol will follow. A
prominant , keynote
speaker will be joined at

of the student bodies at
North Carolina’s eleven
traditionally black in
stitutions, public and
private.
Massey said that all of
the state’s black colleges
will participate in the
Black College Day pro
gram, although the focus
of the rallies will be on
the institutions affected
by . Department of
Education desegregation
activities.
“We feel that ail black
colleges serve the same
purpose, regardless of
whether they’re public or
private. We are ail pull
ing together, fighting for
the same cause,” Masey
said.
He said the purpose of
black colleges “is to
educate poeple. By clos-^
ing or allowing onb black,^
institution to close,
whether public or
private, we have
defeated the purpose of
black college.”
Asked whether he felt
that there was a possibili
ty of the closing of a
black college in Norm
Carolina in the near
future, Massey replied,
“Not necessarily of clos
ing black colleges but of'
identity loss, especially
as a result of the consent
decree, ll is hard for
black colleges to put
their faith in the UNC
system and consent
decree. Black colleges
were not one of the
priorities of the system,
and the consent decree
still does not gurantee
that our interests will be
among the priorities.”
