THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH. N. C.. SATURDAY MAY 10. 1989 2 BLACK MAYOR <CONX*NUEO FROM PAGE ONE ployee relations at Duke Uni versity In nearby Durham, also said he felt the Issues turned the tide in his favor. He pledg ed a program to provide low cost housing In all sections of the town, involvement of more young people In municipal government and a closer rela tionship between the town and the University of North Caro lina. **We are going to provide a program for the entire com munity, not for just the power ful few r --which we promised throughout the campaign,” Lee said, Giduz, whose father was a professor at the university for .35 years, fought strongly dur ing the campaign against as sertions that he was the can didate of the town’s “estab lishment.” He emphasized his university ties, his liberal vot ing record as an alderman and his "progressive experience” in municipal government. Giduz is manager of the Alumni Re view, a publication of the U niversity of North Carolina, here. In his concession speech, he said, "I wish to give my sincere congratulations to Mayor Howard Lee and all those who worked for him.” Lee, born into a Georgia sharecropping family, dropped out of high school twice before finishing third in his class. He came to Chapel Hill in 1964 and received a master’s degree two years later from the UNC School of Social Work. Last year, he spearheaded the drive whicn helped Dr. Re ginald Hawkins, a black den tist from Charlotte, to carry Chapel Hill in the three-way Democratic gubernatorial pri mary, although Hawkins was third in the statewide vote.

Mayor Sandy Mc- Clamroch, who chose not to seek re-election after 12 years as mayor, had won perenially with onlv token opposition. 2 CANDIDATES (CONTINTED FROM PAGE ONE) take the honor, and the second vote-getter received the posi tion of Mayor pro-tern. If this holds true this year, I.ightner will become Raleigh’s next mayor pro-tern. This is not always the case, however. John W. Winters, the only other Negro to be elected to the Ra leigh City Council, never garn ered enough votes during his three-tenure term to place sec ond in the final voting. Mr. Lightner was followed by Incumbent Councilmen Alton L. Strickland with 7,589, and Seby Jones, 7,440 votes. Others winning a place on the. Council included Robert W. Shoffner, 7,048; Jesse O. Sand erson, Sr,, 6,483; and Thomas W. Bradshaw, 6,386 votes. The City Council reserves the right to choose it own Mayor and Mayor pro-tem. In the Raleigh School Board race, Mrs. Cofield, tallied a first for a Negro running in a local election by leading the ticket in the race by eight persons for a four -seat va cancy. Others running successful!* were incumbents Ronald C, Butler, who received 7,502 votes, and Mrs. William Crav en, with 6,613. Gaining the fourth available seat was J. C, (Jack) Knowles, with 5,644. Mrs. Cofield’s School Board expires in four years, while Mr. Lightner will have to offer for re-election in another two years, if lie so desires. Wide margins over all there candidates in the city’s five predominantly Negro pre cincts gave Lightner a big boost in tiie voting totals, but he also polled a good vote in pre cincts throughout the city and wound up with 8,586 votes. Dr. Jack Porter polled 6,- 380 votes. Mrs. Cofield’s election as sures continued representation for Negroes on the school board. Everything For ...

C, Fred Carnage, a local Negro attorney and long-time mem ber of the board, chose not to seek another term. Mrs. James L. Stough, another incumbent, also chose not to run. Chairman Maurice Thiem and members Casper Holroyd and William Duff still have time to serve on thier current terms. The voter turnout Tuesday totaled 15,865 for the school board race and 15,719 for the city council race. The totals differ because some voters who cast ballots in the school board race live outside the city limits but inside the school district. On the other hand, in city precinct No. 21 located in South Raleigh, voters were not eligible to cast ballots in the school board race because they live outside the school district. There were 49,877 registered voters eligible to cast ballots for the council candidates. In 1965, the city election drew a turnout of 17,191 voters.

WRIGHT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) American Studies. The Department of Afro-A merican Studies was created in February of this year after what has been termed “one of the most quiet and extensive black student protests in the nation.” A key to the success of the students at Albany was their inclusion of the Mack faculty at the institution. “This was our Trojan horse,” one stu dent remarked. "We made it quite clear that our purpose was to he 1 p the Univ e r s ity im mediately overcome its dis graceful academic short comings. When the administra tion got the message of our absolute determination to help them, they were open to hear what we had to say. When they knew that we would not tolerate for a single day longer a per haps unconscious system which grossly compromised, us, they had no alternative but to give in to reason.” Dr. Seth Spellman, a black professor in the Department of Social Service Administration, v/as chosen to serve as acting chairman of the Afro-Ameri can Studies Department. “We chose him,” said one student spokesman/ “because as a re tired Army officer, he was financially dependent upon the University. We felt that for this reason we could trust him not to bow to pressures from the University.” Under Dr. Spellman’s leader ship, faculty and staff have been recruited and the initial cur riculum devised. His principal task was the recommendation of a chairman for the depart ment. A student-faculty-administra tion advisory committee, head ed by Dr. Louis Salkever of the Department of Eco nomics, approved all assign ments. Black students inter viewed all prospective person nel and their approval was ne cessary before appointment could be made. ROY WILKINS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE OW*> Mr. Wilkins of New York Ci ty said, “Integration of schools is not just so your children can associate with white chil dren. Those schools are where the good education is.” The Rally is sponsored each year by the North Carolina Con ference of NAACP Branches, Kelly Miller Alexander, Sr., president. A long-time civil rights fight er, he criticized young black militants who are demanding separate facilities at predom inantly white colleges and un iversities, saying, “That svhaf their mothers and fall ers have been fighting against all of their lives. “We need these youngsters oecause they are smart and alert,” the speaker stated, but get themoffthat separate kick.” Ln his address, punctuated many times by heavy applause, Wilkins declared, “Guns have no place on a college campus. “No gun can solve a calculus problem or know anything about black history. They car. defend themselves with the two fists God gave them. And if Hie; need more, they can use their feet Some Mack militant demands are reasonable, Wilkins felt. He cited the drive for black studies at colleges as a. ex ample. “What they have done,” he said, “is jolt you out of your apathy and scared the ‘bejabbers’ out of white folks. "But,” he added, “the prob lem is they sometimes don’t know when to stop.” Wilkins said the NAACP's work in school integration was not just for the sake of in - tegrating races, but was Mr a better quality of educatio: , “You need the kind of books, teachers and standards, they have,” Wilkins said, “since when your kids get out, those are the standards ti n-, ’ll have to meet.” Wilkins also felt Black Cap italism would not help solve gro unemployment. “If all thn Mack businessmen ran all the black businesses there were, they couldn’t hire all the Mack workers needing jobs,' Wilkins p■ aised tin NAACP. “We don’t want to destroy something - “ear up the pea patch’ as they used to say. W o want to get out of the govern ment what we nut into it,” Wilkins was introduced by Dr. Joseph Jones, Jr., academ ic dean at St. Augustine’s Col lege. McKISSICK (CONTINUED FROM PAC.n ONE) got an award or not. But if you are black and gifted, then it is your duty to contribute more to your less fortunate brothers and sisters. “An award doesn’t mean that you have it made. It mere!, gives evidence that vou have acquired certain skills and it doesn’t mean that you know exactly what to do with /hose skills after you get out of school,” McKissick said education can “separate black people from black people,” and warned the students that education may bo mis-education. He urged ttie students to seek financial independence as a route to power. “Power can not be attained without bread,” McKissick said State Baptists (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) concentrated on tne reading of a proposed constitution, a re port by the finance committee and a sermon, delivered by the Rev. Wilton Byrd. According to Dr.Sherrill, the sessions centered around the objectives of the convention, which are support for the Central Orphanage at Oxford, foreign missions and state missions.
