adjoining property to Ridge Alley and Shaw's Tire Service
would have reasonable access to their property
without the alleyway.
But residents of* Highland Avenue with property
bordering the alley said they needed it to enter their property
from the rear.
"If the alley is closed, we wouldn't be able to use our
backyards," said Velma Hopkins of 1228 Highland Ave
"II anything comes to our house, it has to be brought in
through the back."
Jim Shaw, owner of Shass 's Tire Service, wrote a letter
to Alderman Virginia K. Newell saying that he needed the
alleyway, as a delivery entrance for tires.
Alderman Lynne Harpe said she didn't understand the
logic of the residents saying the closing of the'street
would deny them access to their property since their }
homes face a public street, Highland Avenue. "Most
people don't have service alleys behind their homes in
Winston-Salem," she said.
Harpe termed the alley a convenience, which, she said,
wasn't a "compelling reason" to keep the alley open.
Hopkins, who owns one of the houses with land adjoining
Ridge Alley, said the city has never maintained
the dirt alley, though city maps show it to be public proiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiuimiiiiiiiiiiitmiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiimtMiMiiiiiiiii

have," Hooks said, the NAACP will do nothing to "alter
or impede his progress."
But Hooks added, "The NAACP maintains that black
people have as much right to support a (Walter) Mondale
or a (John) Glenn."
Despite Hooks' earlier opposition to Jackson's campaign
in 1984, he has expressed an interest himself in running
in 1988: When asked on Thursday about his own
presidential aspirations, Hooks responded, "That
depends on whether Jesse ftins. P^would hate to run
against him."
Hooks stressed that a possible boycott of Food Lion
grocery stores in five states, including North Carolina,
was only a "small part of what's on our slate." The
NAACP plans to target utilities, banks and grocery stores
to ensure that they employ more black people in management
positions and spend more of their money with
black-owned banks, insurance companies, contractors
and vendors, Hooks said. "No companyjn America, irt
my judgment, is doing all they have to do or can do," he
said.
Hooks, who was involved last summer in a heavilypublicized
feud with Margaret Bush Wilson, the former
chairman of the NAACP's executive board, said the
NAACP has survived the internal fights and will continue
as always to move forward. "1 have been plagued and the
NAACP has been plagued by negative publicity," Hooks
^aid. "During the 75 years we have been in existence, we
have had a financial deficit each year with the exception
of one, but the NAACP will not fold its tents and will not
disappear. We are moving forward. We are moving
"ahead witLj the most massive voter registration and getout-to-vote
campaign. Jesse Jackson is stirring some interest
in folk who have n?ver shown any interest."

had received a $5,000 contribution from the Hanes Corp.
and, during the banquet, Marshall Bass, corporate vice
president for R.J. Reynolds Industries Inc., presented
Hooks with a check for $30,000.
Local NAACP President Patrick Hairston said that,
despite a slow start in ticket sales, the banquet still turned .
a profit, attracting an audience of 923. "We made a little
money," Hairston said, "but not much."
Hairston said some white businesses had been reluctant
to support the banquet this year because of the stand the
local NAACP took against the Nov. 8 city-county bond
referendum. But, as Hooks said, "The NAACP will take
a stand if it costs us every dime we get. We have survived
much worse." . r

perty. The residents who use the alley have kept the grass
cut, the crevices filled in and provided other minor
maintenance, said Hopkins.
Pat Swann, assistant city manager for public works.
said the only city maintenance he could remember was a
load of gravel that was poured into the alleyway. The
gravel has since worn off, he said.
Alderman Vivian Burke said that, since the city does
not maintain the alley, and since the residents are using it,
they should be allowed to continue doing so.
"Some see it (the alleyway) as a privilege that's unnecessary,"
said Burke. "When we can offer a privilege,
we should do so."
Aldermen Robert Northington and Harpe voted to
close the alleyway. Aldelman Larry Little did not attend
Monday night's meeting.)
In other business, Alderman Larry Womble called attention
to the city's affirmative action policy and called
for the city to pursue housing concerns as aggressively as 14
business development ventures.
Noting that several city officials have left their posts
and that the city will be adding two new positions, Womble
said the city should follow its affirmative action
policies in filling the positions. Allen Joines, the city

Others
say the university needs to shift its priority from
physical improvements to academic improvements. Says
Victor Johnson, an assistant principal at North Forsyth
Senior High School and a graduate of WSSD: "We need
a person who is really committed to education. We have
the buildings and plenty of space but we don't have the
quality teachers because of low salaries. We don't have
students who score 1,000 or better on the $AT. Our
students have weaknesses and 1 don't think the (present)
administration has addressed those weaknesses."..
Another faculty member says the main concern at this
point should be who would serve as acting chancellor ? if
Covington leaves - until another chancellor can be
found. "We need somebody from the outside without
any allegiance to anybody on this campus," he says. "We

one of the new positions as he^d of the city's new
economic development office. Joines is w hite.
Of the development office, which would make it easier
for developers to do business with the city, Womble said,
"In my estimation, we're (city) moving into the development
business ..., catering to developers, making it
almost a deal too good to refuse.

and creating a department for development, why can't we
create a department for housing?" * *
Northington denied Womble's charges that housing is
not on the city's priority list and listed his personal efforts
to get federal money for housing projects around
the city. He said he had personally corresponded with
Sens. 4esse Helms, John East and Robert Dole, amotig
others, about matters concerning housing in Winston- N
Salem.
But Womble said much of the city's attention to housing
is still lip service and asked: "How come we still have
the same slums we had when I grew up here as a little
boy?"
Burke thanked Womble foi*sharing his concern with
the board and reminded the board and the city of their
moral obligation to provide better housing for the poor.

But of the four vice chancellors at WSSU, only two

chancellor for development affairs. Robert Fenning is the
acting vice chancellor for business affairs and Dr. Callie
Coaxum the acting vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Of the four vice chancellors, Wilson has the longest
tenure.
