The North Carolina
chapter of the National
Black Independent Political
Party (NBIPP) held its first
annual state-wide conven
tion in Rocky Mount,
North Carolina last
weekend.
Participants came from
all over the state, from
Greensboro, Chapel Hill,
Durham, Raleigh, and
Winston-Salem. They came
to listen, to talk, to caucus
and to vote, in an effort to
decide what were the most
important issues facing
black people in the state of
North Carolina. After the
issues were agreed upon,
resolutions finalized and
noted on during the last day
of the conference. These
resolutions will be taken to
the. National Convention to
be held in Chicago during

associate dean of the
of Arts and Science
University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill is
currently involved in a
dispute of words with the
editor of the Raleigh Times,
A.C. Snow.
This dispute had its
beginnings with an article
that appeared in 1978 writ
ten by Renwick, in which he
questions the university’s
commitment, a commit
ment made publicly, to in-
crea,se the black enrollment
in (UNC-CH).
Renwick provided facts
and figures obtained from
the university’s admissions
office which indicated that
r
liber Wayne Williams (!) is escorted from his
fs office by Angel Ortiz, a law clerk for the al-
June 5. The 23-year-old Williams had been ques-
ifor 12 hours beginning June 4 in connection with
llmia children case. Williams was released after the
oiling and has not been charged in the case.

Mill after he was first
tStled about his in-
tticnt with the
liitras was taken into
d'exactly one month
ite was first inter-
about his possible
'tticnt with one or
dihe slayings.
Lee P. Brown,
"t's Public Safety
t'issioner, wouldn’t
^de on evidence being
’Ped that could con-
dlliams to any of the
27 murders, other
•p authorities say they
" itclieve that any one
"isresponsible for all
iiiPSs, but the suspect,
'"'person, is responsi-
' a siring of killings.
Those string of killings
followed the pattern of the
victim having died of
asphyxiation and their
bodies thrown in the Chat
tahoochee River.
Williams was first inter
rogated on May 22, two
days after Cater’s body was
found. The questioning
took place after Williams’
car was followed from a
bridge located near a site
from which police had
heard a loud splash. He was
questioned again on May 23
and was placed under cons
tant surveillance, the
surveillance became heavy
after Cater’s body was
found.
Scarce hard evidence is
reported to exist, and that
which does exist was taken
from articles taken from
Williams’ car and home.
Law enforcement officials
said fibers and dog hairs
from among carpel
samples, sweepings,
clothing and blankets were
akin to some found on 10 or
II of the victims.
From H.B. Renwick
Letter to Mr.Snow
letter Renwick sent to A.C. Snow on Lunc 3, 1981.
Dear Mr. Snow:
This is in releience to an editorial wnlten by you
sometime in April, 1981. The editorial, “Around the
State-Discrimination,” was also printed in the
Greensboro Daily News.
Your editorial referred to a newspaper article that 1
had written in 1978. You stated that in this particular
article I said, that between 1975 and 1978, about 800
Black students had been denied admissions to the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I’m
enclosing a copy of this article for you to read, Mr.
Snow, apparently for the first time. As you can see,
Mr, Snow, I never made any reference to 800 Black
students being denied admissions to the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
After reading your editorial and conversing with
you by phone, it is clear to me that you did not ex
amine my article but instead relied on statements
made by Mr. Collin Rustin. Rustin contradicted
himself on numerous occasions, Mr. Snow. You
should choose more reliable sources. Mr. Rustin, in
1978, denied that any Blacks had been rejected. Some
weeks later this same source said that 17 Blacks had
been rejected. Some weeks later this same source said
that 17 Blacks had been rejected but that some
mistakes had been made. In April of this year, Rustin
tells of 36 blacks being rejected.
However, I am not blaming you, Mr. Snow. For I
am well aware of the methods people like you are ac
customed to utilizing in order to minimize the effec
tiveness of citizens like a Hayden Renwick. General-

significant resolution to be
voted upon. In addition, at
tention was given to the
need for concentrated ef
fort on voter registration
and voter education
strategies.
Focusing on another na
tional issue, the (NBIPP)
called for the formation of
food and housing
cooperatives and food
banks that would assist peo
ple affected by the federal
budget cuts.
Suggestions for curtailing
government repression and
racist violence and the need
for an in-depth study of the
two was another resolution
passed by the party. While
also passing a resolution
calling for a specific role of
youth within the state and
national parly.
These resolutions were
the result of two days of in
tense discussions and
speeches where participants
heard different ideas set
forth by many prominent
civil rights activists.
Barbara R, Arnwine, a
North Carolina attorney
from Raleigh, and Issac
Coleman, a resident of
Asheville, N.C., arc the co
convenors for the stale
chapter. Angela Bryant is
treasurer and Mary Wright
is secretary.
The Winston-Salem
delegation attending the
conference included Clifton

while the number of black
application increased, the
actual number of black
students accepted by UNC-
CH has declined. Renwick
was the director of minority
admissions at Chapel Hill.
Renwick went on to say
that the low Scholastic Ap
titude Test scores, used by
officials at the school to ex
plain the drop in black
enrollment, w'as not a valid
rea,son, because there were
.pn..> . life students with
F'w'sLt .scores and low
class rank standings, who
were admitted to the univer
sity.
In the article Renwick
staled, “Over the past three
years, I estimate that ap
proximately 300 black
students have been denied
admission to the University
of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.”
That statement was the
basis of an editorial written
by A.C. Snow that ap
peared in the Raleigh Times
in April of 1981, in which
Snow misquotes Renwick’s
article in an effort to justify
the standards of admission
at UNC-CH.
In the second paragraph
of Snow’s editorial, he
quotes Renwick's article as
staling, “between 1974 and
1975, about 800 black
students had been denied
admission,”
Further, Snow alleged in
his editorial, that accepting
black students with low
(S.AT) scores constituted
