Duke Auditorium. It was the first time in the 57-year-old history of North Carolina College, that such an event had occurred. The purpose of the news con ference was to inform the col lege community and the com munity-at-large of the achieve ments of the Peele administra tion, and to inform the students of the dreams and aspirations of the Freshman Class. To that end of informing the freshman stu dents of what is occurring on the campus, monthly news bulletins have been issued. At this con ference the members of the 1966-67 Freshman Class, who had maintained an accumulative index number of 3.000 or better, and the members who were in the various extra-curricular activities (Drama Club, Glee Club, etc.) were asked to stand up and be recognized by every one present. An invitation to this affair was sent to Dr. Albert Whiting, the newly elected President of North Carolina College. It was brought out at this news conference that this Fresh man Class is the first to write a class constitution. At the one-day session a candidate may take the Com mon Examinations, which in clude tests in Professional Edu cation and General Education, and one of the thirteen Teach ing Area Examinations which are designed to evaluate his un derstanding of the subject mat ter and methods applicable to the area he may be assigned to teach.

Profile Made On NCC Swifters Here is what the experts say about the NCC Thinclads: These' men have shown and will con tinue to show the ability, talent, and skills necessary to make themselves acknowledgeable and also to make NCC known as the school that produced them. The NCC trackmen are rela tively young but continue to im prove with experience. They should do much better in the future because they have not reached their peak of perform ance yet. The “Chucks”, “Skips”, “Tonys” will be back again next year doing what they know best —running for the sound of fire. Let us all recognize the fact that North Carolina College does have one of the best track teams in the country, in spite of the fact that the rewards for performing are few and quite unimpressive to a great number of potential Eagles who go to other schools. Hats off to the men of speed! A 1964 graduate of the North Carolina College Law School said May 1 that Negro lawyers have been for the past century the men most commit ted to the relief of human dis tress. Maynard H. Jackson, Jr., an attorney in the Atlanta office of the National Labor Relations Board, said that especially dur ing the past 30 years it might have been said of the Negro at torney that “never have so few done so much for so many with so little for so long and for such a small return.” The tradition of the Negro attorney in service to humanity began, Jackson said, in 1844 when Macon B. Albert became the first attorney admitted to practice from the Negro race, in Maine, and has continued until the present, with Thurgood Marshall named in 1966 as the first Negro solicitor general of the United States. In the past 30 years, Jackson noted, Negro lawyers have asked many of the most probing ques tions of the U.S. Supreme Court. They asked, he said, if the Ne gro is entitled to due process, if the Negro should be expected to support a school system which relegates him to inferior facili ties, if separate facilities are not inherently unequal, if it is the Negro’s due to be denied the exercise of the right which is the essence of democracy—the right to vote. , The answers to these qestions constitute a revolution, he said. These accomplishments have Law Student Gets National Office Charles Edward Houston, Jr. of the North Carolina College Law School was elected to of fice of national vice president of the American Law Student Association for the Fourth Cir cuit. He will succeed Vincent F. Ewell, Jr. of Wiliam and Mary Law School to this position. The election took place on Saturday, April 8 at the annual ALSA French Circuit Conference held at the downtown Holiday Inn. Charles Houston as the Na tional Vice President will repre sent all the law schools of the Fourth Circuit at the joint an nual meeting of the American Bar Association and American Law Students Association to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii in August. The Fourth Circuit is com posed of the Law Schools of South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Virginia. The schools are U. S. C., Wake Forest, UNC, Duke, NCC, W. Virginia, Washington and Lee University, University of Rich mond, University of Virginia and William and Mary. Charles Houston was born in Hilton Head Island, South Car olina. He attended Tuckahoe High School in Westchester County, Eastchester, New York. He majored in philosophy and history in undergraduate school at Boston University and North Carolina College. This is his junior year at the NCC Law School. In addition to Law School, Charles plans to study toward his Masters in Business Administration at Columbia University in New York. Charles and his wife, Maria Innoconcia Houston are from New York city. His father. Rev. Charles E. Houston, Sr. is pas tor of the Shiloh Baptist Church, Tuckahoe, New York; his mother is a teacher with the New York City Board of Education. come in the face of great adver sity, Jackson said. Not the least of these was the Negro’s own prejudiced stereo type of the Negro lawyer. Ac customed to the idea that the Negro is inferior, Negroes took ’’crumbs of litigation to the Ne gro attorney, tendering the full loaf to his white counterpart.” Particularly guilty of this, Jackson said, is the Negro busi nessman, who has historically dealt almost exclusively through white attorneys, despite the presence of competent Negro professionals in the community. There remain many road blocks to the success of the Ne gro attorney, Jackson said. He noted that North Carolina, among other states, still main tains a bar association which ex cludes Negroes because of their color. “My message is not one of despair.” the speaker said. “My desire is that the Negro lawyer continue to manifest the com mitment of the Negro lawyers of today and of years past to meet the cry of distress of the disenfranchised and underpri vileged with actions consistent with this commitment to the rule of law.” Among the ways in which the Negro attorney can become more successful, Jackson said, is through the abandonment of his role as a “loner.” Law firms would afford him an opportun ity “to exercise the collective knowledge and concerted ability, the influence and the power, necessary today for an effective and thorough representation of the interests of his clients. “However, it is only through a continued assertion of and commitment to the principle of the rule of law that we can as a profession and as individ uals extricate ourselves from the absurdity of an unexamined and unjust life.
