The three new recent appointments^
to the?Winston-Salem
State University Board of
Trustees are expected to be a real
asset, said Board Chairman
James D. Branch.
"We (the board) are in a
positive mood right now and
want to keep it that way," he
said. "These are positive appointments
and I think they will
carry on that tradition."
The new appointments are:
Wilma L. Lass iter, a former
WSSU professor and J. Edgar
Broyhill II, owner of the Edgar
B. Furniture Co., both appointed
by Gov. James G. Martin; and
Mickey W. Dry, senior vice
president/group executive at
Wachovia Bank and Trust Co.,
appointed by the University of
North Carolina Board of Goiter?
nors. .They were appointed to
four-year terms.
Chancellor Cleon F. Thompson
agreed with Branch that the
appointments will be positive, aiding
that they will help maintain '
the blend of the corporate community
and the educational community
that the board needs.

on the board from the corporate
and educational communities

DALLAS - Blacks who pay
the same Social Security taxes as
their white counterparts will get
far fewer benefits because they
have shorter lifespans, according
to a national study recently
released.
That means the Social Security
system is transferring wealth

Goodman, president of the National
