Special Meet Called
Shaw Trustees Relieved By Action of Baptist
Convention; To
RALEiIjH — The executive
conMiiftoe of the Shaw University
trustee board was sciiedulcd to
take, up proposals from the
special session of the State Bap
tist convention in a meeting here
Thursday.
The meeting was set for the
Shaw campus at two o’clock.
A committee spokesman said
the trustees would get the resolu
tions passed by the special ses
sion of the Baptist convention for
the first time at the meeting.
Last^uesdey, Baptist, called on
the trustees to permit Dr. Wil
liam R. Strassner to remain at
the institution in a post of “di
gnity”.
It also askec; the trustees to
meet with convention reprcsenta'
tives to brief them on the facts
Surrounding Strassner’s dismissal
This action represented a rever
sal of an original demand by the
Baptists’ executive committee.
Sentiment here this week was
that the trustees appeared re
lieved at the stand taken by the
full convention in its special ses
sions last week.
The original demand by the
Baptist executive committee
ordered the trustees to rescip>*
the firing of Strassner or face a
cut-off of convention funds.
The convention voted to as
sume the capital indebtedness of
Shaw several years ago. It con
tributes $340,000 annually to the
school.
Last Tuesday’s action by the
full convention represented a re-

Protest Meeting
Reveals Split
Among Residents
by GENE SCHUNK
SILER CITY — Negroes ia
this small North Carolina town
are not up in arms following
the killing of a young Negro
man by a white rookie police
man. At a "mass meeting” of
75 people yesterday oi>inions
were sharply divided as to what
action, if any, to take.
The mass meeting had been
called following a shooting ia
nearby Graham on Saturday
night, July 14, when policeman
Joe Jucinic, hired only five days
before, shot Melvin White of
rural Chatham County. The
policeman said White tried to
run away after he was arrested
for drunkenness. Under North
Carolina law it is illegal for the
police to shoot in conncetlon
with a misdemeano;' such as
drunkenness.
Eight days after the killing
Patrolman Jucinic had not been
indicted. According to local of
ficials the case is still under
investigation. Newspapers first
reported that the policeman was
under only $100 bond, but when
Siler City Negroes talked of
calling in the NAACP the figure
given out became JIOOO.
Patrolman Jucinic says the
shooting was accidental. He
claims tha’ he shot into the
ground as a warning and that

Altogether, the school Iward

arc from Ne^ro atudents, but
18 of them are seeking reassign
ment to other Negro schools.
The remaining 26 are from
white Students also seeking re
