at Greensboro and North
Carolina State University in
Raleigh.

and the other departments to
UNC-G.

In all likelihood, he said, this
would mean the big AAT cam

although he said some future

found for it.
Sen. Scott's remarks im

Also answering_$cott was

He said it indicates racism

only $15 million to put- it at

He also wondered why the
