Zion Church, McDonough and Tompkins Streets, Brooklyn, N. Y. Wednesday morning. May 7th, Rev. W. O. Carrington, host pas tor and the Rt. Rev. W. J. Walls, Senior Bishop, host Bishop. This bids fair to be the most intresting session ever held. Bishop Walls and the leaders of the denomination feel that due to the stress and strain now en veloping the world and the need of expanding the principles of the Christian religion, through Zion Methodism, give cause for such a meet. Human rights and brother hood will be the main theme of the meet. This is in line with the fact that it was liorn out of the tenets of the Church, due to the desire to be independent, more thian 158 years ago. All of the Bishops will address the meet. Governor Thos. E. Dewey will deliver a special address. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, Howard University, will also speak.

NCAA Group North Carolina College be came the second Negro college in Tar Heelia to be admitted to full membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association recently as notification of NCC’s acceptance by that body was made public here last week by NCC Athletic Director John B. McLendon. McLendon, who has led a vigorous campaign, in the past few years to gain entrance for Negro teams in NCAA basket ball tournaments, was 'notified of NCC’s acceptance by a letter from Walter Byers, executive director of the NCAA. Byers’ letter read in part: “I am pleased to advise you that the member institutions of the Third District have elected North Carolina College to an active membership in this asso ciation. . .By Executive Com mittee action, your institution is eligible for all 1952 NCAA meets and tournaments.. .We welcome North Carolina College as an NCAA member...” Coach McLendon, who has di rected athletics at North Caro lina College since 1042 and ser ved as head basketball coach for the past 12 years, expressed elation at the action of the com mittee. His elation, however, was mitigated with the realization that NCC will-not be able to take advantage of its full mem bership immediately because of a forced revision of its athletic organization. Thus, North Carolina College becomes the second Negro school in North Carolina and the sixth CIAA institution to be ad mitted to full membership in the NCAA. NCC had previously en joyed “affiliated membership” status along with the rest of the CIAA schools. A. and T. College at Greens boro, first Negro school in North Carolina to be accepted, has already taken advantage of its membership status be enter ing boxers in the NCAA finals at Wisconsin. Other CIAA members of the NCAA are Hampton, Howard, Morgan, and Lincoln. All except Hampton are recent entrants. Acceptance of these CIAA schools followed vigorous cam paigning! pn the part of NCC’s McLendon and Central’s Mack Greene for participation by Ne gro schools in NCAA basketball tournaments. The NCAA voted in 1950 to abolish “Affiliated memberships”, forcing all schools to seek full member ships. The Third Di^ric^ to which North Carolina College belongs, is represented on the NCAA committee by H. P. Miles ^ of IMM Carver Half-Dollan Released BOOKER WASHINGTON, BIRTHPLACE, VA„—ITie Di rector of the United States Mint has advised S. J. Phillips, Presi dent of the Booker T.
