[ A&T students vow not to shop at Greensboro mall By DAMON FORD TWltHIWHini : GREENSBORO - With one voice students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University declared a boycott against non Mack merchant! The proclamation came Tuesday night during a meeting at Dudley High School. It comes on the heels of recent cries of harassment stemming from actions by security guards at Four Seasons Town Centre against A&T students. The students say African Americans, specifically black males, have been unfairly harassed by mall security since the implementation of the mall's cour tesy code in 1996. They also contend pamphlets containing the rules, which discourage shopping in groups, were only given to AAT students. "Incidents at Four Seasons are just one example of how black people are treated, so why should we give them money," said Jamaal Kendrick, an A&T ?tudent. Four Season's policy discourages loitering, con gregating in groups, wearing obscene clothing, yelling and playing radios, practices which can get a shopper reprimanded, kicked out of the mall or arrested. While Four Seasons has 12 rules in its policy, Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem only has six rules it asks patrons to follow, says general manager Den nis Cerny. Proper attire including shirt and shoes, no solic iting, no pets except for cases where a person is in need of one because of a handicap, no loitering or loud and disruptive behavior, no alcoholic bever ages or the carrying of firearms and the following of non-smoking regulations make up the policy at Hanes. The policy is posted on every entrance of the mall. "We invite our customers to shop," he said. "However we are aware that they sometimes will meet relative* and friend* here and may socialize while ihopping. That'* fine and they are certainly welcome to do that." Cerny alio (aid there have been very little inci dent* of trouble in hi* four year* at the mall. Ron Mack, executive vice-president of the Koury Corporation, which own* Four Sea*on* wa* unavailable for comment, but a statement faxed to the media from the company offices last Tuesday rebuts claims by AAT students. According to the letter, mall officials sent 25,000 copies of the courtesy code to area high schools and middle schools as well as five of the six colleges in Greensboro including; A&T, UNC-Greensboro, Guilford College, Greensboro College and Guilford Technical Community College. Bennett College did not receive the hand-out. The students also declined a meeting with Koury Set AMI on A12 New CDC hopes to bring life to Liberty Street By T. KEVIN WALKER THE CHRONICLE A newly-created community development corpora tion ia hoping to bring fresh ideas and tons of public and private dollars to the Liberty Street area. In early January, members of the Pangaea Develop ment Corporation Board of Trustees will begin brain storming ideas to help revitalize economically-ailing Lib erty Street. Pangaea will replace the East Winston Development Task Force, an organization established by the board of aldermen in 1988 to "facilitate and coordinate" develop Set Liberty owAH Photo by T.

KEVIN WALKER THE CHRONICLE / Advocates for revitalization on Liberty Street got a big boost last week when North Carolina Baptist Hospi tal officials selected a site for a new health center in the area. The health center? expected to be completed in late 2000 ? will replace Reynolds Health Center, which the hospital began operating earlier this year. The announcement comes at a time when "revitaliza tion" has become a buzz word in communities around the city but especially in East Winston. Those involved in the project say the new 50,000 square-foot facility will not only better serve patients but also help the downtrodden Liberty Street area. "I think that it's wonderful," said Derwick Paige, who heads redevelopment efforts in East Winston for the city. S* HsplSsI Oft A10 Settlement along way off Black farmers say they're reviewing latest offer in suit By DAMON FORD While a scries of meetings last month held by black farmers and attorneys provided optimism that a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture would be settled before a February court date in Washington, D.C., legal representatives for the farm ers say a settlement is a long way off. Several news agencies reported that black farm ers across the nation are considering a S125 million settlement in their discrimination suit against the USDA, which would give each plantiff about $50,000. Al Pitvs, lead attorney for the agricultural ists says there's still a long way to po. "None of that information is right," Piies said of.., the reports "We're still a ways away from a settle ment. It's so complicated because it's so big." According to Pires it will be at least another three weeks before anything will be worked out.' "We're still in negotiations" Pires said. "Where they got that story from I don't know." Stephon Bowens executive director of the N.C. Landloss Prevention Project was one of several peo ple on hand in Durham for the meetings and con firmed that no proposed settlement was reached. "We think things are moving," he said. "It's our hope that a settlement can be reached." During the meeting, attorneys discussed settle ment offers by the Department of Agriculture with local black farmers including lead plaintiff Tim Pig ford of Bladen County. Pigford, co-founder of the National Black Farmers and Agriculturalist Associ ation, filed the suit in Feb. 1997. Though Pigford declined to comment on the meetings, he did ipeak to Archie Hart, special assis tant to commissioner of the. N.C. Department of Agriculture about the meeting's developments. "The lawyers gave the farmers some scenarios," Hart said. "They discussed how close they were to the settlement. All I know is that by the end of December there will be a settlement." U.S. District Court Judge Paul Friedman pushed the farmers settlement efforts by declaring their case a class action suit in October, which was applauded by the farmers and many black politicians including members of the Congressional Black Caucus. "A large number of farmet will get relief earlier, rather than just one by one," said U.S. Rep. Eva Clay ton. D-N.C. at the time. "This is good news." This development allows thousands of loan dis crimination complaints by farmers to be handled together instead of on an individual basis.
