The local branch of the
National Association of
Colored People, meeting at
Dellabrook Presbyterian
Church on Sunday, aired a
( variety of concerns, passed
three motions, and heard a
report on plans for the Spring
Membership and Fund
Raising Campaign.
Concern was expressed
about the effect on the
black community of the
proposed realignment of ci.
ty ward lines. The political
action committee mentioned
that it will take steps to
see that the community is
correctly instructed on
returning the cards which
are being sent from the
Board of Elections to purge
the voting lists of persons
who have not voted since a
given date.
An announcement was
made of committee
members who will attend
t - the meetings of the Board
of Aldermen, the County
Commissioners, and the
School Board. Also plans
were announced for
monitoring the voting
records of local representatives
in the various
legislative bodies.
Mention was made of the
sanitary conditions and the

vegetables in the stores
which are located near the
black community. The fact
was deplored that one had
to go "way across town" to
make suitable purchases of
jhese necessities. Also,
unkind words were spoken
of blacks who make their
money off of blacks but
"Who don't help us."

By C.B. Hauser
Special to the Chronicle
Taking off from a
description of an imaginary
conversation with a lily
which was flourishing and
blooming profusely amid
rubbish and garbage in an
alley, Dr. Lester B. Brown
told students at WinstonSalem
State University to
"use your mind in your
own activity and bloom
where you are."
Dr. Brown is president of
College and University
Management and Long
Range Planning Consulting
Firm and Visiting Professor
at Florida International
University, Miami, Florida.
He has served as president
of Vorhees College, Denmark,
S.C., and as presi
dent of Florida Normal
'I College, Miami, Florida.
The former college president
was in Winston-Salem
appearing in a Lyseum
Event, "A Joseph N. Patterson
Assembly." The
event was sponsored by the
Division of Education as
part of the University's
celebration of Black
History Month.
Dr. Brown said the subject
of his talk came from a
remark made to describe a
serious student on a certain
college campus who refused
to join in the activities of
students caught up in the
drug culture. They said of
the student "he is
peculiar.*'

considered. Concern was
expressed over the policy
which calls for tearing
down rather than
renovating existing housing.
The affirmative action
plan win be further studied.
A motion was adopted
pledging the association to
fight discrimination in
employment and in housing
in both the private and the
public sectors.
J. Henry's store on Trade
Street which is being forced
to close because it has
received so many bad
checks was discussed. It was
pointed out that there is
need for an Economic Task
Force to help such
businesses.
The problem of crime in
the neighborhood, especially
the drug problem and the
problem of black on black
crime received much attention.
The inadequacy of
police protection and the
reluctance of witnesses to
crime to come forth were noted.
Also mentioned were the
people who distribute drugs
who are known to the police
through paid informers.
Crooked police were also
mentioned as part of the
problem. Rather than turn
in the pusher, a better solution
would be to work for
jobs for our people so they
"would not be used." The
dangers involved in turning
m a drug pusher were mentioned
too.
In light of the discussion,
a motion to form a Crime
Watch was modified to provide
for setting up a task
force to determine the
feasibility and the
workability of setting up a
Crime Watch. The task
force is to report its fins

According to Dr. Brown,
the peculiar student:
- has good manners
- dreams a lot
- does the best that he
can under the circumstances
that exist
- is characterized by a
heart that is attached
to a reality beyond self
In closing, Dr. Brown
recited lines from William
Henley's "Invictus," ending
with "I am th^master
of my fate. I am the captain
of my soul." He told his audience
that they would be
peculiar students when they
came "to fully understand
the meaning of the words of
this great poem."
Lauretta Battle, Miss
Winston-Salem State,
presided at the assembly.
James Mitchell, president
of the senior class gave the
welcome. Rev. Cedxic
Rodney, University
Chaplain, gave the invocation
and the benediction.
Dr. Melvin F. Gadson,
Director of the Division of
Education and a former
student of Dr. Brown, introduced
the speaker, and
the University choir under
James Kinchen furnished
the music.

meeting of the association.
The third and last item
which ended in a motion
dealt with the killing of

and the killing of blackiin
Buffalo and other cities.
The body deplored the
casual attitude and the indifference

these tragedies. The idea of
expressing concern and urg?
ing action on this problem
by wearing a black ribbon
on the arm was very
favorably received.
A motion was passed
calling for the president to
appoint a task force to draw
up a suitable plan for dealing
with this matter. The
president appointed Father
Micheal B. Curry and Mrs.
Clara W. Nesby to work
with him in drawing'up the
plan.
The final item at the
meeting was a report by
James Mack outlining plans
for the membershiD and
fund raising campaign. The
campaign will begin this
