To Oppose
Bond
Continued from page I
the Airport expansion is being
pushed so that Charlotte will
be a transfer point for passen
gers who will never see Char
lotte or spend any money here.
"We do not believe the Black
Community can support such
a proposal when so many of
our needs are unmet."
..By selling general obliga
tion bonds for the Airport, thh
will remove 955 million from
the City’s authority to sell
bonds for more essential
needs, such as parks, side
walks. housing, health and
human services facilities.
Each dollar spent on a general
obligation bond for the Airport
means that, that dollar cannot
be spent on things we have
asked for.”
..The Northwest Community
Action Association will work
to inform Black citizens of the
reasons we oppose the Bonds"

..Remeber! if you don't read
the Charlotte Post each week,
you don't know what's hap

gram, while also improving
the channels of communica
tion between alumnae and
Bennett."
She added that the regional
structure would stimulate well
planned support programs
and draw chapters in the
seven regions of the country
closer together to work for
common goals.
Bennett’s president. Dr.
isacc II. Miller addressed the
group of women at Charlotte's
Dow ntowner Motor ..hin. He
discussed the colleges' pro
jected plans as based on its
receiving of a *1.5 million
grant under the Advanced In
stitutional Development Pro
gram. He cited the priority
areas of development includ
ing the improving of institu
tional management; upgrad
ing and innovating of the
curriculum and added ad
vancement options; and im
proving of the student services
program.
.. Among the concerns of
alumnae attending the one
da) organizational meeting
Mere alumnae recruitment
programs, alumnae involve
ment in the community, train
ing of more qualified black
educators, the establishment
of a continuing education pro
gram, and the importance of
alumnae annual giving.
During a period of inter
action, Dr. Miller urged the
alumnae to become more in
volved in publicizing the suc
cess stories of t^e black
colleges and universities. He
stated that support meant .
more than just “writing a
check.”
. .The regional officers will be
meeting on the Greensboro
campus of the school to formu
late plans for the first regional
conference on May 9 during
the Alumnae-Commencement
Weekend.^
