Sanford: Students At Central Are Serious About Their What are our college students experiencing today? The recent United Negro College Fund tele thon may have raised a few questions: Are our youths taking education seriously? Is it worth it to keep our traditionally black col leges open? The following is one account: When Ezelle Sanford Jr., a so phomore student at Durham’s North Carolina Central University, .NAACp"^WdS^retarv Chari* McLean Day wi t° -b^^ ^harle^‘McLean~P*y '10 was issued to honor McLean re* “Charles M clamation.

I based ooerat on that heffan in HKQ i McLean also recently realised k returned to Charlotte for Christmas vacation, be wade’t prepared for the praise he received. Maintaining a “B.” average in college, to Sanford, was something he felt was expected, not to be congratulated on. "It’s not neces sarily an achievement to get good grades...that's what you should get. Parents put in time and money and only the beet should be expected of the student.” Now in hia second year of college Sanford has some advice for future college students: “If you put God first In your life, all things wiH follow.” North Carolina Central University is one of the traditional black col leges in North Carolina. “Moat of the students at Central are aeriow about their education. You have to keep your priorities in tact You can’t come to school and get lost party ing.” Sanford studies as much as pos sible... each day including week ends. His ambition is to one day work in a government position. His major is public administration. “First, I plan to go into the service for three years. I fed I will receive an extensive amount of experience and obtaining a government job may be much easier. I’ve always been interested in the government.” Sanford also expressed interest in running for public office. But at age M be says be has plenty of years to think about it. * A l»3 graduate of West Charlotte High, Sanford was a member of Up school band.
