THORPE ADDRESSES ROTARIANS Local Rotarians heard an enlightening address by Dr. Marion D. Thorpe, President of Elizabeth City State University. Talking on the subject “What^s Next For the World of Business”, Dr. Thorpe indicated that ways must be found to bring the Innovations of the new young idealist in to effect with the tried, true and democratic ways of business. With Dr. Bruce Pette- way. President of the Col lege of the Albemarle, serving as the Rotarians’ Scholarship Program Chairman, the speaker proceeded to trace the changing attitudes and be havior of students. "The business com munity must prepare it self for providing the cap ital and reserve of train ed and experienced talent upon which new business structures can be built,” Dr. Thorpe commented. According to Dr. Thorpe, black business declined 20 per cent be tween 1590 and 1960, and that at present, blacks own less than 3 per cent of all U. S. industry, less than 2 per cent of all construction enterprises, and only 1 per cent of manufacturing. “Many young Ameri can whites, along with blacks, are determined that these statistics be changed. Business must have a program for ef fecting Aese changes in an orderly manner, otherwise it may be that tomorrow, American business, like the univer sities, may be asking ‘What hit us?’,” he con tinued. Dr. Thorpe recom mended easier and more creative lending policies; locating more branch operations in areas where minority involvement can be assured and increasing Small Business Admini stration guarantees to minority peoples above the present 10 per cent of the total. The young and exper ienced ECSU President, much in demand to fill consultative and speak ing engagements, has al ready accepted invita tions to address grad uating seniors at J. A. Chaloner School, Roan oke Rapids, N. C., and Currituck Union School, Maple, N. C. iiiiiiiiii FREE ENTERPRISE — “The term small business is very close to the definition of the ‘free enterprise system,’ ” said Sen. Alan Bible (D.-Nev.). “The essence of both is that the labor and capital of a man are united with his pride in making a success of business which he has built and which often carries his name. Small business represents values which are at the heart of the American way of life, and are essential to its preservation— individualism, hard work, en terprise and freedom. More than five million small firms in this country furnish our popu lation with approximately 50 per cent of its jobs, 40 per cent of its gross national product, and constitute the most dy namic element of innovation, change and progress.” Supervising Teachers listen attentively to Miss Evelyn Johnson, director of ECSU Choir.
