"The black colleges must
continue to be the doorway
of opportunity for the able and
talented black youth while at
the same time providing for
other black youth of unrea
lized potential the only real
chance he is likely to get."
These were the words of Dr.
Edward Brice, president, War
ner and Warner International
Associates, Inc., as he spoke
to the St. Augustine's College
audience February 22 during
the 103 rd Founder's Day ac
tivities.
"Today, it has become
fashionable to refer to black
college presidents and founders
of early black social institu
tions as 'Uncle Toms', he con
tinued. "At least these men
understood the importance of a
college education in liberating
the minds of the blacks,"
Brice concluded.
He went on to say that to

upon the Nixon Administra

their efforts to slow the ad

Dr. Morsell said, "We con
front a new and strange com
bination of enemies: the Sou

the President of the .United
States, and the black advocates
of racial separatism. This un
holy combination has been
strongly encouraged by the Ad

79th Founder's
Day Observed
On Sun. Feb. 22
Replacing Louis Austin
publisher of the Carolina
Times who is ill, Clathan M.
Ross, formerly editor of the
Times and now Information
Officer and Program Director
of Voice of America, addressed
the 79th Founder's Day pro
gram at Elizabeth City State
University February 22.
After speculating on some of
the possible motives of High
Cat, the Negro Representative
from Pasquotank County who
introduced the bill that led to
the establishment of what is
now Elizabeth City State Uni
versity, Ross stated, "And so,
almost 100 years later, we
find ourselves faced with the
necessitysof searching for ap
propriate values, values that
are relevent to the needs of
our times, of making the right
selection and then of applying
thpt choice as did Cale."

- Ross explained that Negroes
have taken a glimpse down the
long corridor of racial integra
tion and have concluded that
unless some modifications are
made in the approach, Ne
groes are doomed to lose their
identies, to lose themselves. He
called that a fate no man can
suffer.
Stressing a belief in the
value of the cultural approach
to the issue of race relations,
the ECSU Founders Day speak
er felt that, "Perhaps it will
equip us both -- black and
white - to understand the
essential humanity of each of
us."

at 1 p.m. in the banquet
room of the University Center.

At Kyles Temple
The Rev. L H McDonald,
pastor, Northside Baptist
Church and advisor to the
Youth Council, NAACP, Dur

a blistering attack upon the
inept program of the Durham
Branch, NAACP, at its month
ly meeting, held at Kyles Tem
ple A M.E. Zion Church, 4
p.m., Sunday, February 22.
With approximately one
hundred persons present the
speaker, in the words of a song
in the late 40s told the adult
members of the organization
"they need to straighten up
and fly right". He went into
every phase of the communi
ty life of black people in Dur
ham and critically, yet con
structively, outlined a program
that would not only make the
youth interested, but would
lure more adults into the fold,
to aid in the struggle for
human rights
He began by saying that the
NAACP revels in telling what
it has done to aid the cause of
freedom he described this as a
matter of history and should
be recorded so that posterity
would know about it. He
called for action now. He told
his audience the youth were
told you are still youth and
you will be treated accordingly

GREENSBORO - Henry E.
Frye, Greensboro Attorney,
announced last week he plans
to seek re-election to the
North Carolina House of Re
presentatives. Frye, who is one

cord he made in his first
term in the state legislature.
"I appreciate the confidence

the experience I gained during
the previous term will help to
make me more effective if I am
re-elected."

as one of his most satisfactory
achievements his Bill requiring
