Urges Students to Play Role
Of "Monitors of Innovation"
TRENTON - Dr. Samuel
DeWitt Proctor, former presi
dent of two southern univer
sities, Sunday called on col
leges and universities to play a
role as "monitors of innova
tion" in the present period of
decisive social change.
Speaking during Rider Col
lege's summer commencement,
Dr. Proctor said that colleges
have the thoughtful and honest
people required to make the
distinction between being re
sponsive and frantic and being
innovative and reckless.
Dr. Proctor, who was
awarded an honorary doctor of
humane letters degree during
the commencement exercises,
said higher education was
caught by the new social
wave "doing business as usual
...apathetic and conformist."
He said the answers to to
day's questions "are not found
by asking 'what did we do
last year?' like some deans
run a college. The answers are
found by people who are
courageous enough to recog
nize that something new is in
the wind and who are willing
to shake free from rigid and
frozen postures."
$1.4 Million
Bldg. Unveiled
At A&T Univ.
GREENSBORO - When
the new semester gets under
way .at A&T State University
September 21, the principle
new addition to be unveiled
on the campus will be the
ultra modern Crosby Com
munications Center, completed
this summer at a cost of more
than $1.4 million.
According to Dr. Lewis C.
Dowdy, A&T President, the
new facility represents a major
step in strengthening the Uni
versity's offerings in the
humanities.
"This new building should
facilitate our developing more
balance between education,
science, social science and the
humanities," said Dowdy.
An important feature of the
building is the fully equipped
Little Theatre, with a New
York stage and an auditorium
to accomodate 371 persona.
The auditorium is con
nected to the section housing
the classrooms and laboratories
by an enclosed sky-lit passage
way, which also doubles as a
student lounge.
The facility's 18 classrooms
are expected to be used pri
marily for instruction in Eng
lish, speech, drama, reading
and foreign languages.
and gave them breakfast. The
idea became a regular thing
with Sister Wyatt and so on
each Thursday morning the
Chapel Hill angle of mercy is
seen having prayer and song
service along • with breakfast
for the Pettigrew Street group.
The meetings have meant a lot
to these seemingly forgotten
people. Many of them have
tried to get jobs, clean them
selves up and others are seek
ing employment.

While urging the new role
for colleges, Dr. Proctor said
there are benefits in represen
tative democracy, in the basic
freedoms and in the traditions
of Judaism and,. Christianity
that would have to be created
all over again if they should
be destroyed.
"Let us avoid the nonsense
of advocating that everything
before Woodstock is bad and
worthless," he said.
Dr. Proctor, who now serves
as professor of education in
the Rutgers University Grad
uate School of Education, also
is a former Peace Corps and
National Council of Churches
administrator. He served as
president of Virginia Union
University from 1955 to 1960
and as president of North
Carolina A&T State University
from 1960 to 1965. He's the
author of a 1966 book titled
"The Young Negro in Ameri
ca 1960-1980."

WEAPONS INSTRUCTOR
Navy Chief Gunner's Mate
Robert E. Swift is assistant
weapon's instructor at the Naval
| Reserve Officer Training Corps
(NROTC) at Prairie View A&M
College here. The NROTC unit
with State Apprenticeship
Agencies.
Citing this achievement.
Secretary Hodgson said, "This
program is but one of the
means we are pursuing to get
more minority group members
into the skilled building and
construction trades. The suc
cess noted here indicates that
we are moving in the right
direction. When our goals are
reasonable attainable, they
can be met." i
The more than 6,900 ap
prentices in the program are
learning one of 18 building and
construction trades such as
carpenter, structural iron
worker, operating engineer,
and a few miscellaneous
trades.
Apprenticeship Outreach
uses the "tutor and cram"
technique to assist minority
youths (Negro, Mexican
American, Puerto Rican,
Indian, and Oriental) in pre
paring for specific apprentice
ship examinations.
The courses run from four
to 10 weeks, determined by
the type of test to be given
and each trainee's individual
needs.
Apprenticeship Outreach
agreements have been signed
with 10 different sponsoring
group to conduct 78 programs
aerving minority youths in 81
major industrial cities and in
tracity areas. The programs re
present a total Labor Depart
ment investment of more than
$5.6 million.
Life Expectancy Iri
U. S. May Reach 120
130 And 150 Years.
RALEIGH How long can
a person here in the United
States expect to live? Probably
20 years longer than his grand
father did, notes Isabelle Buck
ley, extension specialist in
aging, North Carolina State
University.
For life expectancy in this
country has increased more
than 20 years since 1900.
In fact, a male is now
granted an average life span of
75 years; a female a term of
80 years.
The future looks even
brighter. "The likeliest esti
mate is that humans will live
about a 100 years," Miss Buck
ley notes. And there will be
cases here and there of persons
living to the ripe old ages of
120, 130 and even 150.
Life insurance companies
are especially interested in
these trends, notes the specia
list. And they conduct some
research of their own.

VIOLENCE
By DONALD LOVE
This is a word as old as
time itself and is being used
now seemingly more than ever.
In previous times there are
reasons why it was nos used
and reasons why it is being
used so frequently today.
When I was just a young
ster, I heard my parents and
other adults discussing un
believable things that were tak
ing place here and there. Later,
I learned to read so I read
about these unbelievable acts.
These stories I had heard
discussed and the recent ones
that I have read were about
man and how man treated
man.
Man would take a man and
smear tar over him. To spread
tar, it has to be hot or at
least warm enough to spread,
somehow feathers were used.
It was known term wise as to
"tar and feather a man". In
many cases fire was used,
meaning the man tared and
feathered would burn to death
since tar minus feathers was
very inflammable.
These acts or deeds were
seeds being sown. When seeds
are planted or sown, one day
is or will be harvest day. It
just might be a long wait but
that day will surely come. The
sower or sowers who sow
the seeds might not be the
ones to reap them, the seeds
are up and ready to be ga
thered by someone.
I am referring to how the
white man treated the black
man and the red man must not
be excluded from the Iron
band of the white man.
This generation of the
white man la not responsible
(or the. seeds that were sown
by their ancestors but the reap
ing is theirs. There it not any
way out, the harvest is their's
to reap.
This generation of whites

gather the harvest, have sown
themselves and are yet sowing.
This crop someday will need
harvesting. Will they have to
harvest their own also or the
generations to follow?
To the black man and the
red man, two wrongs do not
make a right. It only adds up
to revenge and vengeance be
longs to God. God and God
alone can and will bring good
from evil. To try and achieve
good any other way is only
bad and evil in reverse.
Do not try and rush God.
Time means nothing to Him.
To Him, a day is a thousand
years and a thousand years
is but a day. We cannot hurry
God so we will and we must
wait on Him.
The reverse is now taking
place. Let us not think how
much we have done. Give
God all the credit and praise.
We are only God's tools. The
took of a machinist say not,
it is I who am responsible for
the tearing down and the
building of a piece of ma
chinery. When God gets ready
and not until then, He moves
in. I can see all kinds of
signs, God is moving in and
there isn't anybody who can
do anything about it.
Since the reverse, none of
the evils done now match or
equal the evils that were done
all through the years except
that they will be classified as
evils against us. All the evils
done by the white man which
were many, were never classi
fied by individuals, courts,
city, state or our national
government as violence. Today
the evils done bare the label of
violence. The seal of violence
la sin and sin is death through
violence.
