Vice President Hubert H.
Humphrey addressed an audi
ence of 2,500 in McDougald
Gymnasium, Saturday, April 2,
1966. Humphrey fully endorsed
the United States piolicy in Viet
nam when he said we are in
Vietnam “to make the price of
aggression too high to pay.”
Humphrey praised the pro
gress made by the United States
in science, education and indus
try. “The mind that has taught
itself to destroy can build,” he
said, indicating that our vast
knowledge in nuclear energy
can be used for peaceful as well
as military purpKJses.
Emphasizing the importance
of education, Humphrey said
that “education is the accum-
lated culture of centuries.” He
implored the students to set
goals and then to work toward
achieving these goals.
The Vice President said that
man’s greatest problem is
not outerspace but “interspace,”
meaning the mind. He elabo
rated on the belief that man
cannot conquer space if he first
has not conquered himself.
Speaking of Vietnam and
world strife, Humphrey said,
“Peace is more than the absence
of war. It is learning to live,
work, vlap and built together.”
He indicated that the United
States would remain in Viet
nam until some acceptable
peace settlement was fulfilled.
Humphrey spoke at NCC for
about 35 minutes. He was in Dur
ham as the principal speaker for
the dedication of the new North
Carolina Mutual Insurance Com
pany building. Also present and
on stage in McDougald Gymnasi
um were Governor and Mrs. Dan
K. Moore; Robert C. Weaver,
secretary of the Department of
Housing: Andrew F. Brimmer, a
member of the Federal Reserve,
Board; Asa T. Spaulding, presi
dent of North Carolina Mutual,
and Charles Daye and Raymond
Perry, president and vice presi
dent of the NCC Student Govern
ment Association.
Humphrey drew a chorus of
laughter from the audience when
he said that “Mrs. Humphrey
helped me through college and
young fellows 1 want to tell you
that’s a good idea.” He also
mentioned the large number of
government officials in Durham
for the Mutual weekend. How
ever he assured the audience that
President Johnson was in Wash
ington taking care of things.
The North Carolina College
Symphony Orchestra played be
fore and after the address. Hum
phrey would not leave until he
heard the band play a part of a
selection.

Soul Magazine Organized At NCC
PICTURED HEBE ARE THE MEMBE R OF THE SOUL MAGAZINE STAFF.
Charles McNeal, a recent
graduate of NCC, and a group
of young men are in the process
of organizing the first Negro
student magazine in the nation.
The Soul magazine will be of
special interest to students of
CIAA schools. The Soul organi
zers have in their minds an in
genius idea to preserve the cul
ture of the Negro.
The magazine will feature
fashions, humor, editorial, and
musical evaluations. Around
April 1, the magazine will make
its appearance as the unifying
element of Soul throughout the
CIAA. McNeil said, “This will
be the beginning of the maga
zine which we hop>e to establish
on all of the 123 predoi»inantly
Negro campuses.”
When McNeil was asked what
his purpose or the philosophy of
the magazine was, he replied.,
“We, the SoTiI organizers, feel
that the white man is destroy->
ing a force which has given the)
Negro an identity. This force, of
course, is soul. Our music has
been misclassified. Bach and
Handel have prevailed as clas
sics. But the best critics of mu
sic are listeners, and our (the
Negro) music is accepted world
wide. A minority only listen to
or appreciates the classics. I feel
that the music that everyone
enjoys is a classic and Soul mag
azine is going to do its best in
eradicating this kind of Euro
pean cultural supremacy.”
