Frederick Douglass VOL XIX, No. 35 Minority Business Owners Told to "Anticipate Success" : A Classic Cadillac named top minority business By KAREN M. HANNON Chronicle Staff Writer Success is a never-ending journey. That's how Jim Caldwell, the new football coach at Wake Forest University, recently described his philosophy to achieving success to several minority business owners recently. "The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary," Caldwell said. "You have to vividly imagine, believe and act upon it and it will inevitably come to pass. "Anytime you're competing, there's two types of people," Caldwell said. "There's a dilettante and there's a professional. A dilettante is someone who dabbles in a craft in his spare time. But a professional thinks about his craft all the time. He's trying to better his craft. You have to think like a winner and anticipate success." Caldwell used his experience as a coach as the keynote speaker at the East Area Council of the Greater Winston-Salem Chamber of Com merce's Minority Business Awards Gala Saturday at the Stouffer Win stpn-Plaza Hotel, where he said there's not much difference in compet ing on a football field and competing in the business world. "Anytime you're competing, there's two types of people," Caldwell said. "There's a dilettante and there's a professional. A dilettante is someone who dab bles in a craft in his spare time. But a professional thinks about his craft all the time. He's trying to better his craft. You have to think like a win ner and anticipate success." Although Caldwell's comments were filled with humoroos anec dotes and analogies, his message of success seemed to hit home with the minority business owners. "As business owners, you have to do the same thing I'm trying to do at Wake Forest University," Caldwell said. "Xou have to go out and build a broad base and lay groundwork. You've had the opportunity to watch a skyscraper being built. The first six months, they're digging deep into the ground. That's exactly what you have to do in the business world. You have to reach out to the community, make sure you're con nected and your network is sound and solid. But in order to build a structure that sound, you've got to build a firm foundation."

It was the culmination to a series of lectures on religion during the school year. In his hour-long speech, Felder said it is time for people of all races to become more tolerant of each oth-^ er's cultures. "All over the world, we are witnessing tribalism." said Felder, the author of three books on the subject. "Instead of breaking down the walls that divide us. we are becoming intolerant of each other's cultures. It's sad when the nation has to hold its breath while waiting for a verdict. It's sad when we cannot expect a routine, fair system of justice." Please see page A14 Gibbs, A&T Chancellor During Student Sit-ins, Mourned Special to the Chronicle Warmouth T. Gibbs, president emeritus of North Carolina A&T State University died last week after a brief illness. He was 101. Gihhs. a native of Baldwin. La,, ;*nH a graduate nf Wiley College and Harvard University, contributed to the progress of A&T from 1926 until his death. He led the university to great accomplishments at A&T in his five years as president, including getting the university accredited for the first time by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges. But he really carved his niche in the university's history during the historic 1960 lunch counter sit-ins at Woolworth's department store. During the height of the demonstrations, the city's power structure Wanted Gibbs to clamp down on stu dents who were marching in the streets. He politely told them: "We teach our students how to think, now what to think." - The rest is history, as students successfully launched a national protest movement against segrega tion. Gibbs well remembered his handling of that event. "I had studied government, history and international relations and that prepared me for handling that situa tion," he said in an interview years after the successful sit-ins. "It didn't bother me." He received a lot of honors during his lifetime, but one that genuinely touched him was the Board of Gover nors' University Award, which he received in 1991 for illustrious service to higher education. Gibbs, who had been a resident of Greensboro for 67 years, served as president of A&T1955 to 1960. He retired in 1966. As a teacher of Government at A&T, Gibbs became a legend to thousands of students whom he taught. They remember him as a no-nonsense teacher, -but who always ejected a bit of humor in-his classes. Whenever A&T alumni gather across the nation, they still want to know how "Dean" Gibbs is doing, remem bering the second-most important position he held at the university for so long. He is survived by a daughter. Elizabeth Gibbs Moore of Greensboro; a son. Chandler Gibbs of Pough keepsie, N.Y.; 12 grandchildren; and four great-grand children. His funeral was held last Friday at St. Matthews United Methodist Church in Greensboro. Seeking Amenities , Students Choose Off-Campus Living A WSSU builds new dorm, raises tuition By KAREN M.
