A&T State University.

In a recent address to the
Crescent Rotary Club here, Dr.
Dowdy said:
"These reports have lumped
all Negro colleges and univer- !
| sities into one big pile, and
j from computers, somewhere, a
I lot of averages have been com
j piled which suggest that all
' of them are poor."
"Of those that gave the most j
( disparaging reports," added
I Dr. Dowdy, "not a single one
! has ever visited at A&T, nor
i have we ever received a re- I
j quest for information."
"The latest cry," said Dr. |
| Dowdy, "is that these colleges j
and universities give hollow
degrees. I could recite many, I
many cases where A&T men I
and women, here and away,
succeed. This would tear these
i critics apart and leave their
reports in shambles. These
! same people who may have
1 scored low on a 30-minute
| test, are providing the city,
! state and the nation with the
type of leadership expected of
j any college or university grad-
I uate."
Dr. Dowdy chided these re
ports for not taking an objec
tive approach in its criticisms.
"Though we, like every col
lege and university, have some
weaknesses, we have many,
many strengths, but the latter
are too rarely mentioned," said
Dr. Dowdy.
Dr. Dowdy said the economic
impact of A&T on the Greens
boro community is the equiva
lent of a $lO million business.
"Thougji expenditures by its
students, faculty and staff, and
local purchases by the Univer
sity, thi whole community
gains," said Dr. Dowdy. "The

Suspended Bluefield Students
Are Re-instated After Protest
BLUEFIELD, W. Va. Ten
students —eight Negro and two
white —were reinstated in Blue
field State College here, Oct.
27, by President Wendell C.
Hardway. The students had
been suspended earlier this
month for participation in a
demonstration in protest against
alleged discriminatory practices
by the college administration.
Dr. Hardway lifted the sus
pensions before U.S. District
Judge Sidney L. Christie acted
on a complaint filed by NAACP
lawyers seeking a temporary
injunction requiring immediate
reinstatement of the students,
dropping of all charges against
them and restraining the col
lege from further suspensions
based upon participation in
peaceful demonstrations.
Among the ten suspended
students was Alonzo Saunders,
of the NAACP College Chapter
Jr., of Philadelphia, president
on campus. Following a cam
pus rally addressed by Mark
Rosenman, NAACP youth di
rector, the student body ini
tiated a series of peaceful
marches protesting the suspen
sions and the administration's
alleged discriminatory prac
tices.
Meanwhile, the legal action
was instituted by NAACP Gen
eral Counsel Robert L. Carter
