ECSU fl ffers Minority Incentive Grants
In a stepped up effort to"
increase its non-black
enrollment, Elizabeth City
State University will now make
available minority incentive
grants to prospective white
students who "demonstrate
need." The program is part of
the state's plan to further
eliminate "racial duality in the
Public School Post-Secondary
Education System."
"This step by the state and
The University of North
Carolina system provides
encouraging support of our
I J
positive and continued actions
toward increasing the number
of non-black students
at ECSU." Chancellor Marion
D. Thorpe stated.
Although ECSU failed by
just 1.2 per cent to reach its
10.6 per cent integration
quota, it has the highest
minority enrollment in the
UNC system.
According to a letter from
UNC president. Or. William C.
Awards
It seems to me that it's about time for Black people to
start putting on the brakes.
To sit down. Settle back. And take a good, hard look
at where we've been. And where we're going.
In the 60's. we all talked a good deal about the impor
tance of Black history and Black culture. It is important
to know about our heritage. Our self-image. And our
sense of accomplishment. Important, because we aren't
looking for patronizing approval from white America, to
our demands for equality of opportunity and justice.
Why should we? We've been an important contribu
tor to the growth of America, through cultural, scientific,
industrial, and patriotic efforts.
So we marched. We shouted. We boycotted. We
sang. We've had riots. And we've made some strong,
meaningful socio-economic gains.
Our family median income has doubled. More of our
young people are attending colleges. And more of us
own our own homes.
But. is that all there is ? Shouldn't nearly two decades
of social revolution lead to something more7 Something
called social responsibility.
It seems to me that some of our gains are drawing
dividing lines, in the Black community. And I'm not
talking about haves and have-nots.
I'm addressing this to the middle and upper class
Blacks who are stepping on the fingers of their Brothers,
who are simply trying to climb the same ladder.
Greed and envy are bad companions. And they're
beginning to make Black America a leaderless, self
destructive community. What's happened to respect?
And unity?
Where are the heroes we need for our young people to
follow? The helping hands?
If the better educated, higher income-earning Blacks
are too busy looking to their own selfish interests, and
not taking time to give a boost to a Brother who wants
to come up then we're all in big trouble.
Maybe it's time for some of us to look back a little.
And get back in touch'a lot.

Go ahead. Sip some Inver House Scotch.
Very pleasant.
Then kiss someone. Even nicer. And compare.
Inver House Scotch passes the test every time.
Because it's distilled, blended and aged gently

hriday, $300,000 has been
appropriated by the 1975
General Assembly "to provide
financial aid funds to
encourage white students to
attend predominantly black
institutions and, conversely,
black students to attend
predominantly white
institutions."
Tommy Foust, ECSU's
Director of Admission, felt
that "Out of the amount to be
allocated the University, these
grants will be most helpful to
local students and especially to
those white students who
commute from within the
Albermarlc area."
To qualify for minority
incentive grants, at ECSU, a
student must (I) demonstrate
need, (2) be a resident of
North Carolina, as determined
by residency for tuition
purposes, (3) be enrolled
full-time, and (4) be enrolled
in a program leading to a
degree. For additional
information, contact the
Office of Financial Aid.
