Code's Switch to Defense
Could Propel Aggies
To Title
1 f A&T comes up with a win
ning football team this season,
it will be due partly to the fact
that Merl Code decided to
switch rather than fight.
Code, a 195-pound junior
honor student from Seneca, S.
C., was the Aggies' top quarter
back most of last season. In
fact he called signals and
played defensive back.
This time around, he has a
full time job in A&T's defen
sive secondary. The Aggies will
play J. C. Smith in Charlotte
on October 5.
Asked how he feels about
having to give up his quarter
back post, Code said:
"I just love the change. De
fense to me is more challenging.
I'm not looking for glory but
I just want to play ball."
Code is just as articulate and
knowledgeable about football as
he is about the physics and
chemistry courses he is taking
now at A&T.
"Playing quarterback at A&T
and in high school actually
helped me," he said. "I find
that I am beginning to think
like a quarterback even in my
defensive halfback rola. I know
that on a short-yardage situa
tion, the other quarterback
probably won't be passing."
Several pro scouts have be
gun to take a real good look
at Code. The youngster is in
terested in a possible pro ca
reer. "I would really like to
give it a try," said Code.
Code's main assets in the
Aggies' secondary are quickness
and the brute force he brings
to bear on the opponents' run
ners. "I love to hit," he admits,
almost grinning.
"What I would like to do for
the next two years is to im
prove in my ability to read
keys. You never really become
an expert at this, but if you get
to the place where you can see
a situation and react, you'll be
"oming along and playing de
fense. "
"If I made a mistake as a
"larterback, it usually resulted
i a busted play or a fumble or!
??methinf. If we make a mi*
fake in the defensive secondary,
it usually results in a t-uc^
down. You have got to be at
home and feel at ease."
Code's biggest fans are his
father, a state supervisor o'l
adult education in South Caro
Una; his mother, a forme**
home economies teacher, and a
younger' b rot be*- The Code*

He Wanted To Build Houses;
He's Building Lives
Charles W. Fairley always
wanted to build homes for
people. He wanted to be a
contractor.
As circumstances would hav<
it, Fairley never became a con-!
tractor. But there is no doub
that he has helped to build a
better way of life for hundreds
of his fellow citizens.
A 48-year-old graduate of
A&T State University, Fairlej
last week resigned his job at
director of project operations o:
the Greensboro Redevelopment
Commission.
He will become the executive
director of the Urban Redevel
opment Commission for the
city of Fayetteville, N. C.
Fairley will be the first Negro
in the Southeast and only the
second black man in the nation
to head an urban renewal pro
gram.
"I consider this a trenmen
dous opportunity," said Fairley,
shortly after his new appoint
ment. "I just hope to be able
to improve the quality of life
for someone."
At the outset, Fairley will
supervise ? $2 million operation
in Fayetteville. The Depart
ment of Housing and Urban
Development has earmarked
that much for projects there.
Fairley is a long-time advo
cate of urban renewal. "Some
critics of urban renewal say
that it only removes Negroes,"
he said. "I say it does remove
Negroes. It removes them from
blight, slums, and substandard
housing. That's what it removes
them from."
He said the bitter critics of
urban renewal are usually those
who have a vested interest in
"These are the slum landlords
maintaining the status quo.
and people of this type," he
added.
"Slums cost everybody," said
Fairley. "The people in the
slum pay the price of good
housing, whether they actually
get good housing or not."
Achieving a first is nothing
new to Fairley. He was the first
N-gro Boy Scout field execu
fSvo in Greensboro. He was the
citv's first Negro mail carrier
i"v' he was the first Negro
"??Hip housing manager in
^?-eensboro. ?
^a-'rley has worked in urban
'?"newal since 1963, when he
was named project manager of
t 1~7-arre development that
"cl-^ed both residential and
b"s'ness sections of the city.
A. native of Greensboro, he
married to the former Dora
Lee Pram of Asheville, N. C.
The Fairleys are the parents of
son, Charles, a senior at How
ard University.

Guardian Holds
Exclusive Interview
With Pueblo Comdr.
Capt. Lloyd Bucher, com
manding officer of the U. S. S.
Pueblo, said in an interview
with the Guardian last week
that his ship "was definitely
intruding into territorial waters
of the Democratic People's Re
public of Korea (DPRK) on
January 23."
Bucher was interviewed in
his quarters near Pyongyang,
North Korea by Guardian staff
correspondent Lionel Martin,
one of the only two U. S. news
men to visit North Korea in 15
years, and the only newsman
of any western country to hold
a private conversation with the
commander of the Pueblo.
The Guardian, which carries
the full text of the interview in
its issue of Sept. 28, is a radical
newsweekly published in New
York and distributed national
ly.
The interview followed a 5
hour press conference Sept. 12
with six officers of the captured
ship, 13 enlisted men and one
civilian.
Martin writes that Bucher
opened the press conference, in
answer to a newsman's ques
tion, by stating that "the Pueblo
was an intelligence-gatherisg
ship. It operated under the
cover of an oceanographle re
search ship."
Bucher confessed, says Mar
