July 25 alleging race and age
discrimination and seeking back
wages, $500,000 in damages and
his job back.
Until Clark filed the suit, the
^ * *
uuaiu oi irusiees could not
discuss the matter because Fort
had not recommended the matter
to the board for their decision.
But the Clark case was only
one criticism the alumni has with
Fort. They also criticized his inability
to handle faculty job
issues like the Clark case, in addition,
to his resistance to trustee
and student involvement and his
~ black tand grant institution. At

dian institution," he says, "and
our heritage is lost. My concern
was that an Indian would have
protected our heritage more than
a non-Indian person."
Friday says the Pembroke
board of trustees decided to select
a candidate from outside the institution
because he was the bestqualified.
"1 depended on the
guidance of the board," he says
One of the Indian candidates

against the institution, but it was
dropped for lack of evidence.
As for Winston-Salem State,
Friday says he can't predict
whether a black chancellor will be
selected, or if the institution
might employ the first white
chancellor in its history.
"I will be guided heavily by the
attitude of the board of
trustees," Friday says. "The candidate
must be able to work with
the board."
Meanwhile, a WSSU administrator,

ference is to develop a network
and background information on
the black family," said Marcella
Oglesby, chairperson of the conference.
The five-hour conference
featured several speakers,
workshops, and other activities.
Workshops included an
"Historical View Of the Black
FamilV-" "Teaching Values "
' ? O * ?
and "Self Concept and School
Performance."
Mayor Wayne Corpening
presented a proclamation to the
conference, recognizing Saturday
Aug. 11 as Black Family Day in
Winston-Salem.
Delivering the keynote address,
Dr. Lawrence Gray, professor at
Howard University, spoke on
"The Strengths of the Black
Family."
"Our families are in trouble,
but we can survive," Gray told
audience. "Families are
group.
"Slavery is what divided our
families," he said. "Our children
are a product of a slave system
and we can't ignore that. It is still
a factor in how we interact with
each other."
Gray outlined the factors that

of a strong family.
The strong family should have
trust, communication, support,
respect, and interaction, Gray
said. Most importantly, he added,
the family must have a
spiritual foundation in order to
survive.
"We must redefine our concept
of the family from the tradia!

"Our new definition
must include persons who relate
to each other through commitment
and interaction.
"We must not let the societs
take over the task which traditionally
belonged to the family,"
he said. "And, we must continue
the tradition of the extended
family, where we take care of

one point, the alumni association
had called for Fort's resignation.
Fort said after the meeting on
Wednesday, that he was not

problems and that he had the full
support of the board of trustees
to run the institution.

have the confidence of the board
absolutely."
It was reported that the board
did not discuss the Fort matter
during the closed meeting, but
the board decided to schedule a

tee, composed of faculty,
students, alumni and trustees,
will be formed soon to search for
a permanent replacement. The
committee will interview candidates
and make recommendations
to Friday, who probably
will make a permanent selection
by next spring.
The permanent selection proSmith
of the board of trustees,
and no one can predict its outcome.
"It is too early to judge what
could happen," she says. "I
would think, however, that the
board of trustees would select a

want," she says. "I'm reasonably
sure that we are looking for a

Oglesby said the Black Family
Task Force was developed in
1982 at the Glade Street YWCA
to develop more programs for
families. She said the task force
is dedicated to researching the
historical roots of the black fami

about employment, housing
and education.
Some of the goals of the.

and to discuss possible changes in
that mission.
"We need to come up with an
understanding of the real misison
of A&T," said McArthur Newell,
chairman of the board of
trustees. "We need to know what
this institution is all about.
Gradually the mission changes
with time. And we need to make
sure the mission is representative
of this university."
As a land grant institution,
A&T's mission is to nurture
culturally deprived students who
need to develop their potential.

member of the board of trustees.
At a board meeting in April,
Jackson said, Clark represents
hope to many of the students as
to what they can aspire to become
and that removing him would be
contrary to what the university
stands for.
James France, president of the
A&T student body and a new
member of the board of trustees,
said he thinks that settling the
Clark issue will help the students
regain confidence in Fort.
4tEveryone will be jubilent,"
France said. 44Dr. Clark was one
