because of a lack of long
term financing. The city
was able to obtain the
financing late Thursday
afternoon. Forsyth Bank
promised to loan the city
$56,000 and North Western

Other corporations in

Even though most of the
financial portion of the
center has been obtained,
the city still needs the sup

neighborhood manager for
East Winston, said that the
association fully supports
the move made by the city
toward the securing of the
shopping center,
“The association is of the

and aid the development of

Johnson.
Johnson also said that the
association feels that the
shopping center will spark
growth and vitality in East
Winston. The city also has
written commitments from
private investors for an ad
ditional $125,000 needed in
order to complete the deal.
Pending approval of the
grant from HUD, the con

begin in February on a land
site located near Cleveland

reaction among
black campus leaders to re
cent attacks on black
students by white students
at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill:, is
at once mixed and in ac
cord.
Black students interviewed
last week did not seem over
ly surprised at the incidents,
which primarily involved
attacks on black females by
white males, and
acknowledged the existence
of racist attitudes among
some white students.
Still, some disagree as to
the severity and significance
of the events.
For instance, Michael Sut
ton, president of the Stu
dent Government Associa
tion at Winston-Salem
State, feels that here are
more pressing concerns on
his campus than racial in
cidents.
“As far as our students are
concerned,” Sutton said,
“we don’t have time to
think about things like
that.”
“We try to get every stu
dent we can, minority or
otherwise, involved in the
activities here, but we also
realize that this is the 80s,
so we are setting our sights
beyond petty problems and
concentrating on expanding
our school.”
Alvin Keyes, president of
the Afro-American Society
at Wake Forest, says that he
has witnessed few problems
during the current school
year.
“We have not had any real
