SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1970 THE CAROLINA TIMES— Administrator Discharged at Kansas Univ. LAWRENCE, Kan. - The board of regents of the Uni versity of Kanms has fired a Black administrative assistant here, charging that he used uni versity funds to purchase am munition. Gary Jackson, an assistant to the dean in the field of liberal arts, was dismissed when board members alleged that he and LaVerta Murray, used a check from the Black students' fund to make the purchase at a local gun shop. Murray is chairman of the Black Students' Union (BSU) at the university. Although it is reported that the dismissal is temporary, pending investigations, the board's traditional anti-BSU attitude seems to indicate that the decision will probably be upheld, Two weeks ago, Rick Tiger Dowdeil, 19, a prominent member of the BSU, was shot and killed by a Lawrence policeman. A coroner's inquest ruled the murder 'justifiable homicide.' Following Dowdell's mur der, several days of disturb ances took place in the city, resulting in the death of one white student and the wound ing of two other Blacks and one police officer. According to reliable sources, the move against Jack son can be taken as a further repressive tactic on the board's part in its opposition to the BSU community program. Operating out of the BSU Afro House in the Black communi ty, the group's members have established a sound working relationship with community residents. Nevertheless, it has been the target of some board criti cism and heavy police surveil lance and Intimidation. To date, neither Murray nor Jackson have made incrimi nating statements regarding the purchase. At a recent press confer ence, however, it was reported that during the disturbances city officials had urged citi zens to take whatever precau tions necessary to defend themselves. "It this is true for the white community," a BSU spokes man said, "then it should apply to the Black community also." Bus. League Urges Aid to Black Firms WASHINGTON, D. C. - "NBL generated sls million in loans in ten communities in 1969" said Berkeley G. Burr ell, President of the Na tional Business League and Vice-Chairman of the Presi dent's Advisory Council for Minority Enterprise. Speaking on the subject of Black Busi ness on WRC-TV's, "Issued" In Washington, D. C., Mr. Burrell said that soon, NBL's technical and managerial assis tance programs now being con ducted in ten cities, will be expanded to six more. "The key problems of minority business are: Money, Management, and Market," said Burrell. He urged large private suppliers to begin pur chasing goods from Black manufacturers to help solve aome of the problems that black businessmen have. He noted that the federal govern ment has pledged SIOO million to buy from Black manufac turers including the Com merce Department, GSA and others. "Many of the large cor porations are already helping Blacks, including Certified Ac countants of America, Ameri can Bankers Association, and several of the major life in surance companies", said Bur rell. Asked if there had been any substantial increase in the number of minority businesses, Mr. Burrell expressed "serious doubts that any significant in crease in minority enterprises has been made over the past few years." ■ %»."

Many of them, of all races, are doing just that. Those who have made the switch have found satisfying and rewarding expression, via the camera. Where once it was just the thing to own a camera, buy film, make random shots, and then take the exposed film to the drug store for processing "to see what I got," Now it is a different story. Not only does this new breed of youngster have fun in laying bare the "magic" of picture-taking, developing and printing, but also there is a chance to compete with others of their age for cash awards and scholarships. Their works speaks of pro fessionalism from start to finished print, as evidence in the last May competition con ducted jointly by Scholastic magazines and Eastman Kodak company.

Highest Official Leaves "Uncle Strom's Cabin" The highest official in the land, was almost klcked-out of "Uncle Strom's Cabin" - ac cused of being too liberal, breaking faith with the South on school desegregation, and following policies which could cause him to lose the White Home in 1972. A sort of veiled threat, that what the "Cabin" influenced the people to give In 1968, it can also cause the people to take away in 1972, In predicat ed upon an assumption which has no basis in fact The great S. C. Republican, helped tre mendously in the election of President Nixon. But, the most outstanding contributors were: globe trotting Evangelist Billy Graham of N. C., and the popular Ex-Governor George Wallace of Alabama. Millions of T-V viewers watched the great audience. They witnessed the grand spectacle in California, when Mr. Nixon received his, "This is my beloved friend, in whom I an well pleased," introduction. This "make decisions for Christ" meeting, also helped voters to make decisions, which carried California and The Good Old North State for Mr. Nixon. The presidential race was close. Mr. Nixon won by only 267,608 votes. But, Ex- Governor Wallace, while head ing the Independent Party, ran as a Democrat in Alabama. He received over 626,000 Demo crat votes - (Vice T Pres. Humphrey needed only 800,00 to win) - and he also received over 8 million votes from the Independents. Without doubt, further pre sence of President Nixon, in "Uncle Strom's Cabin", is by now, persona non grata. The President, can only "keep faith with the South on school dese gregation" by breaking the law. The law of the 1954 Supreme Court ruling for one school system, in one nation indivisi ble, with liberty and "Justice for aU."
