A spokesman for the Baltimore police department called the murder of a former Durham minister "baffling" and refused to make nny other comments on the case. ; The spokesman said the killing of Reverend Melvin Chester Swann has produced no tangible evidence which will offer investigators a lead as to who committed the crime. In response to a question as to whether or not anything had W ll"lllll,"MW been stolen from the house, the spokesman refused to comment but said later that Rev. Swann's car was recovered the next day. "We assume that the car was stolen by whoever committed the crime, since Rev. Swann's wife, who is in the hospital, could not remember lending it to anyone," he said. The car was found a few blocks from the Swann house. The body of Rev. Swann ' was discovered Nov. 12 at his home at 1391 Llirit Ave. In Baltimore. He was found by his godson, Gary Richardson, and members of the Baltimore police department who were responding to a call from Mrs. Sarah Hartj an eroptoy in Rev. Swann's church.

Itf - Doesi'f fHelp Mm North Carolina Central and Howard University did nothing to improve their position in the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference, as they battled to a 17-17 tie last Friday night before 12,000 chilly fans in Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, in Washington. Central, held scoreless in the first half, showed all the daring of a riverboat gambler by going for first downs on fourth down in the second half. NCCU tied the score in the third quarter. Took the lead in the fourth, only to see Howard come right back and knot it at 17 all. Howard scored with the aid of two fifteen yard penalties. Central was called for roughing the punter and the penalty gave Howard the ball at their won 45 with an automatice first down. Then Mike Banks connected with James Breakfield for a fifteen yard gain.

Three plays later Banks hit Harvey Banks with a seven yard toss for the score Julius Gamble added the point after. The Bison's second score came on a 28 yard field goal by Darryl Bridges. Bridges' . three pointer was set up by a fumble recovery by linebacker Mark Mason at the Eagles 17. Howard took a 10-0 lead to the ' dressing room. ,.'', 'f:i;v' - . Central had two chances to score early in the first quarter, but failed to capitalize. On the first play of the game defensive end George Jones recovered a Howard fumble at the Bison's 21.

NCCU troved down to the 11 on a big fourth down play, Then Ricky Moore threw two incompleted passes and an illegal procedure call moved the ball back to the 16.

The (See CENTRAL Page 12A) IICCU-A&T Meet Sat. At Duke The North Carolina Central University Eagles will have their last chance at winning at least a share of their third consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference cahnpionship this weekend when they meet arch-rival A&T State University Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in Duke University's Wallace Wade Stadium. The Aggie-Eagle game, which always attracts a targe crowd, is expected to draw a throng of some 25,000 fans. In addition to the natural rivalry generated by a meeting of the state's two largest predominantly black universities, the game has added meaning to followers of the Eagles. NCCU it presently tied with Howard for second place in ther conference, and the two teams battled to a 17-17 tie last Friday night in Washington. Howard, with 4-1-1, conference record, has completed its season, while Central, with a 3-1-1 conference mark has the one game left with the Aggies. Conference leader South Carolina State with a 4-1 conference record, meets Delaware State Saturday and unless the Bulldogs stumble, and somehow be tied or defeated by Delaware State, the Eagles can forget about the crown this year. If Delaware should defeat or tie S.C. and if NCCU should defeat the Aggies, a three way tie for the championship would result between NCCU, Howard and S.C. State. If this should happen, S.C. State would in all likelihood get the nod to play in the Pelican Bowl. Dec. 7 in New Orleans. The Bulldogs defeated both Central and Howard during the season. CONSERVING SUPPLY-As optimism for a rapid settlement of the impending coal strike decreases coal distributors and users begin to eye possible ways to conserve their supply. Here, two employes of a small coal distributor in Richmond load a truck of the increasingly precious fuel. The company's owner estimates that he has only a 30 day supply left. John Edvwrds Hopes To Continue ViP Activities John Edwards, director of , the soon to be defunct North Carolina Voter Education Project, said he will continue to carry on the activities of the state VEP and will call a treeting of the VEP Board of Directors in Raleigh later this month ' tof 'discus iwrysin-' which'' VEP aivities'carl-be continued. '' The North Carolina VEP, with office in Durham, was notified more than a month ago that it would be closed. VEP national director, John Lewis of Atlanta, said the closing of the North Carolina office and field offices in other southern states was the result of the "faltering state of the economy." Amont the issues Edwards said he hopes to discuss at the Raleigh conference, he said the rasing of funds to continue operations and hir a part-time director was high on the list "This money will have to come from the black community in the state," he said. Edwards said the priorities at the conference will be the need to establish a temporary corps of volunteers and a task force to answer calls for assistance from across the state. "We need to hire a part-time director who would maintain correspondence with communities across the state and keep cornflranity leaders abreast of changes in election lawsand party, rules and regulations," Edwards said. " - " We also hope to organize a state-wide political organization using the VEP organization. This will not be a polticial party," Edwards said. This will be a non-partisan black political organization which would see that political pressure would be brought ou candidates regarding issues of importance and concern to the Mack community.' ' Edwards said the new organization he hopes to form will not be in competition with any existing political organizations. "We will work to encourage blacks to be active in the political parties, we wont try and pull members from them, Edwards said. Edwards said he felt the ' notice of termination he ' received from the Atlanta office should have been (See EDWARDS Page 12A) SEEKS NEW TRIAL-Former Boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter flashes a big grin on arrival at court to appeal for a new trial. Carter's lawyers were prepared to present "a lot of new material" in connection with his conviction in 1967 of murdering three persons in a Paterson, N.J. bar. CfiCJiges In Education LteAe By Bocfi Students Short-lived The changes in higher education resulting from the demands made by black students have been mostly short-lived, asserts Vivian W. Henderson, president of Clark College, in a special issue of "Daedalus" magazine. "Decision involving separate dormitories and facilities and support for racially separate socio-cultural, curriculum, and instruction, research, and public service regarding blacks at a new level in the academic community," Mr. Henderson writes. "Blacks, while stiU grossly underrepresented on faculties of white institutions, are more visible than they were before the pressure of -protests." At predominantly white co 1 leges, demands centered 'around the formation of black studies programs, which -often were founded on week premises, according to Mr. Henderson. "To be of optimum value, black studies bad to reach white people,' he writes, "Failure of white Institutions to teach and educate about blacks and race relations is one of the major voids in American high education. White folks need black studies as much, or more, than black folks." At predominantly black colleges, Mr. Henderson states, the most critical issue "was the kind of institution the college would be a black college serving only the needs of black people and preparing' blacks for service to blacks and the black community only, or a black college open to all races, but with the clear purpose of meeting the needs of blacks in a racially integrated society." The issue was resolved in favor of the latter purpose. "Black colleges successfully resisted demands by blacks to, eliminate white students, faculty, and trustees from their institutions," he writes. "Black Colleges also refused to become enclaves, havens, and teaching bases espousing black separatism and black nationalism." 'Daedalus" magazine Is published by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences at Cambridge, Mass. The distinguished journal's current issue is devoted to the crisis in higher education and contains nearly 100 articles on this subject by outstanding educators and scholars. Hundreds Visit Shaw U.
