Jackson gets prisoners
WASHINGTON - After wide-ranging discussions
with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Cuba's Fidel ;
^Castro agreed last "Week to free 22 Americans held i
in Cuban jails and 26 Cuban political prisoners. !
Most of the Americans had been jailed on drug i
trafficking charges. 1
Jackson, who returned to the United States with <
the freed Americans late last Thursday night, had
wanted to meet with the president and the secretary <
of state to discuss his findings. But a White House <
spokesman said the Reagan administration saw no 1
urgency to meet with Jackson^ ?? ?
A State Department official who asked not to be
identified said arrangements were being made to ad- i
mit the freed Cubans into the United States.
Wilson loses suit again
NEW YORK ? A New York State Supreme
Court judge recently dismissed a lawsuit by
Margaret Bush Wilson, former chairman of the
NAACP National Board of Directors. The suit contended
that she was elected a director of the association
last January and sought an order to install her
on the NAACP's national board.
Wilson said that one of eight candidates elected
to fill at-large seats on the board, James Kemp of
Chicago, died during the six weeks that NAACP
branches across the nation were voting. Since the
association's constitution provides that only
members in good standing are eligible to serve on
the board, she said, Kemp's candidacy was voided
and she should have been awarded his position.
Kemp was eighth and Wilson ninth in the at-large
elections to fill eight positions on the board.
In his decision, Judge Burton Sherman noted,
"Courts have been reluctant to interfere with elecA&T

GREENSBORO -- Some alumni of. North
Carolina A&T State University say the school's
chancellor does not understand the school's mission
and should step down.
The A&T National Alumni Association plans to
send a delegation to Chancellor Edward Fort on
Friday to discuss the school's leadership, said John
rnzryc-saio mat nis group will not take an official
position on whether Fort should remain at A&T but
is interested in airing its concerns to the chancellor.
But Chris Onyemem, the school's 1983-84 student
body president, believes differently.
"I think he's (Fort's) going to lose it soon," said
Oneymem. "If someone doesn't do something
soon, he will bring this university down in ashes."
Maye said the mission of A&T is to nurture
culturally deprived students who need to develop

freecf in Cuba
The Cuba trip marks the second time Jackson has
successfully negotiated the release of imprisoned
\mericans from a country with which the United
States has poor relations. In December, he won the
elease of Navy flier Lt. Robert Goodman, whose
Mane was shot down over Syria and who was taken
:aptive by the Syrian government.
Jackson also made a stop in Nicaragua last week
and met with leaders of that country's leftist Sandinista
government, including head of state Sergio
Ramirez, who said Jackson is welcome to return
anytime he feels there is a need.
Mark M. Ely Jr., from North Carolina, was
among the 22 Americans released from Cuba last
week.

tions in private associations.
"... (Mere) irregularities," he said, "will not
justify setting aside or dictating the result of
association elections."
Sherman further stated that alleged misconduct
must be material and must affect the voting rights
of the organization's members, and to have ruled in
favor of Wilson "would, in effect, not take into
consideration the intent of the voters."
A member of the board since 1963, Wilson was
elected chairman in 1975.
In March 1983, Wilson was stripped of her
powers when she suspended, then reinstated, Executive
Director Benjamin Hooks without consulting
the board.
While the suit was active, the board held off filling
the vacancy, but is now free to do so, barring
further challenges.

that mission.
Other grievances include Fort's resistance to
trustee and student involvement and his handling of
faculty employment issues, say critics.
The employment concern surrounds Professor
Wesley Clark, whose application for tenure has_

Fort has ordered further review of Clark's case
by faculty committees, each of which has heard the
case at least twice. Until Fort makes a decision,
Clark's case cannot be heard by the board of
trustees.
Fort said his only reaction to the complaints "is
to say that the administration of a large university
whose mission is critically essential, as is A&T's, requires
the type of devotion that I absolutely believe
I am rendering and will continue to render."
