Colleges Often Fall Students
Says Speaker At A&T Meeting
Some of the unrest on college
and university campuses is due
to the fact that these institu
tions are failing their students
In vital concerns, gaid ? Michi
gan State University educator
visiting in Greensboro lot
week.
Dr. W. Harold Grant, director
of an NDEA Institute tor Stu
dent Personnel Workers, mads
the remarks following a confer
ence of the institute at AScT
State University.
"The college Is supposed to
be an environment most con
ducive to human behavlorlal
growth," said Sr. Grant, "but
many times It is not."
Dr. Grant cited several evi
dences of the failures, of com
munications on campus:
? Suicide is twice as high
among college students
as it is among non-col
lege students.
? Emotional distress is al
so twice as high among
college students as among
non-college students.
? There seems to be no
relationship between
grades made in college
and success after college.
? Only one in four persons
who attends college,
graduates in four years.
"We find little evidence;"
added Dr. Grant, "that attend
ing college has any positive im
pact on the life of a student.
The college, In many cases, is
not doing what it says, and
therefore, the students are de
manding changes." v
Dr. Grant said that social
modeling is most important to
the students. "You learn to talk
by talking," he said, "not by
enrolling in a course called
Talking 101. We need more
contact between the students
and faculty that would allow
student* to ?ee faculty behavior.
This would make the campus a
more relevant environment."
The three-day meeting - at
A&T was concluded with a
meeting of the college person
Bel administrators, representing
nine colleges and universities in
the Southeast.
Assisting Dr. Grant in con
ducting the institute were Dr.
Margaret Ruth Smith, regional
director of the institute from
Atlanta; and Mrs. Ruth Gore,
director of counseling and test
ing services at A&T.

News
Erroneous information has
been popping up all over North
Carolina that the Veterans Ad
ministration is going to pay a
special dividend to all veterans
who ever held G1 Insurance,
according to W. R. Phillips,
manager of the North Carolina
VA Regional Office.
"Nothing could be further
from the truth," Phillips said.
VA has received a deluge of
applications from thousands of
World War II veterans seeking
the special dividend reported
by the false rumors dissemi
nated by word-of-mouth, letter,
and stories in newspapers and
magazines.
"We are deeply concerned,"
Phillips said, "that so many
veterans entertain the false
hope that they are in for an
insurance dividend windfall
They are not."
A 1969 dividend, will be paid
? but only to those 185,000
World War I veterans and
4,100,000 World War II veterans
who have GI insurance policies
now in force, and who now pay
premiums on the insurance.
No application for this divi
dend is necessary since it will
be paid automatically on the
anniversary date of the policy,
Phillips pointed out.
The 1969 dividend is the re
sult of savings and earnings on
GI insurance trust funds.
About 20,000 home loans are
guaranteed by the Veterans Ad
ministration each month.
Mafia and Underworld
Taking Over America
By Rlcardo Rattle*
As long as we have laws with
no teeth, we'll have a takeover
of America by "termites" who
have for years taken the youth
of our land to derive their fil
thy buck from. They have used
every evil method and means
to infiltrate the minds and
oodies of our youngsters, while
our police and F.B.I, have their
uands tied because our laws
were made to benefit these
sangsters and thugs and per
veyors of filth. Our laws have
been made so lenient, they have
been made so full of loopholes,
that it now pays to break the
law.
It is now an open season for
the Mafia and the underworld
and its shady characters to take
over all of America. In the era
Jl' A1 Capone and the Black
hand bangs and Mafia with
t..eir home base in Sicily, boot
legging and white slavery flour
.stied, hundreds were killed in
gang wars in Chicago, New
York, Philly, Frisco, New Or
leans and other metropolitan
areas in order to see who would
iake over the syndicate of
booze and flesh? A billion dol
lar prize as the payoff: payoffs
were made to crooked police,
Judges, politicians running into
the millions, which was a <Jrop
in the bucket from this lucra
tive hive of honey.
It will never be told of the
millions of lives destroyed phy
sically and mentally and finan
cially because of these pushers
of putrid filth. Bootlegging, one
of the big money makers for
the crime syndicate for years,
iell by the wayside when whis
key became legal by the U. S.
Government, so that killed that
"gravy train" for the mob. So
they had to get into something
else besides prostitution, num
ber rackets, gambling. A move
was made towards the lush
money maker of heroin, opium
and narcotics-pushing all the
way ? the sky was the limit ?
find pushers, peddlers, get the
young ones hooked from school,
or that would be their prime
jaby for others being hooked
and the bank would grow for
the future.
Narcotics was a tough nut to
crack, for the federal and state
laws were rough on narcotics
sources and pushers, it is still a
big money maker for the Mafia
and their henchmen. But now
since they couldn't get around
to breaking the law impudently,
they looked for newer sources
of going legitimate ? use their
reservoirs of money in busi
nesses that could pass a screen
ing test publicly. They found It.
The Supreme Court had made
it easy on the panderers of filth
to take over once again the
minds and bodies of the youth
as well as the grownups
through the media of dirty
books with obscenity and four
letter words splashed over ev
