Peace Comes To A & T Campus;
Strike Of Foodworkers Ended
On Friday At 6 P. N.
A settlement of the three-day |
strike of food service workers '
at A&T State University against
ARE-Slater Catering Services,
the strikers' employer, was an
nounced Friday afternoon at 6
p.m.
Less than a half hour after
the settlement was announced,
some of the cofeteria workers
reported to work in Murphy
Hall to aid in serving an eve
ning meal. Full service in both
dining halls is expected to be
restored by Saturday morning.
The settlement, called "satis
factory" by representatives of
the strikers, was announced by
Raymond Davis, regional oper
ations director for Slater, and
Phillip J. O'Doherty, district
manager.
The representatives of the
strikers and the Slater officials
had met more than two hours in
the basement of Murphy Hall
before reaching the agreement. I
Both parties would only say '
that the settlement reached in- j
eludes salary increases and oth
er fringe benefits.
After being informed of the
settlement. Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy,
president of A&T, issued the
following statement:
"My interest all along was in
restoring the full operation of
the food service as quickly as
possible for the benefit of our
student body and in the inter
est of our cafeteria workers. I
am extremely pleased that the
settlement has been made."
Strike Touched Off
The strike at A&T was touch
ed off last Wednesday morning
when approximately 21 cafe
teria workers staged a "sit
down" in protest of low wages.
The protest was staged in
| Brown Hall, the smaller of the
I University's two cafeterias.
' When a number of students
joined the cafeteria workerfs,
! campus security guards were
i summoned.
Later in the day, the Univer
i sity closed Brown Hall, because
! of a shortage of workers. Break
I fast and lunch were prepared by
[ supervisors in Murphy Hall, the
1 larger cafeteria, but only a few
students would enter the dining
hall.

Hayes-Taylor YMCA
Holds Awards Banquet
The Hayes-Taylor Memorial
Branch Y.M.C.A. held is Sec
ond Annual Awards and Recog
nition Banquet on Sunday,
March 16, with Attorney Don
ald L. Hollowell of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Com
mission, Atlanta, Georgia, as
guest speaker.
Hollowell told an audience of
175 persons that despite ad
vances in civil rights and eco
nomic opportunities, "the re
quirements of our grandparents
were not sufficient for our pa
rents, and ours are insufficient
for our children."
But the "American dream is
still attainable. The job to be
done is too big for either blacks
or whites alone," however, it
will take "patience, determina
tion, and love," virtues which
the Y.M.C.A. can continue to
teach and lead the way in a
community.
He spoke of the "credibility
gap" between recent increase
in visible improvements in civil
rights and deceptive statistics
which hide continued Negro un
employment and under-employ
ment.
The way to overcome this gap,
he stated, is not to "burn, baby,
burn" but to "leam, biby,
learn."
The education and strength
i of character of Dr. Martin Lu
ther King were cited as an ex
ample of one means to imple
ment improvements.
Hollowell, who is a civil rights
lawyer and has handled major
civil rights cases for the
N.A.A.C.P., was introduced by
State Representative Henry E.
Frye.
Awards were presented to
members of the Men's Club who
were part of the original
Chauffeurs' Club at its found
ing in 1939. These men were
front runners in securing funds
for the building at its present
site.
Dr. B. W. Barnes and J. F.
Johnson were awarded 30 year
pins for serving on the first
board of management and first
Y-members respectively.
Special recognition was pre
sented to Michael Gilmore. He
received the Youth Christian
Character Award for outstand
ing contributions in the youth
| programs.
I Other recognitions accorded
j were Lady of the Year to Mrs.
! Carrie Gilmer and Laymen of
I the year to Jimmie Cunning
j ham and S. C. Smith. Hal Sieb
| er, public relations director for
I the Chamber of Commerce, and
Allarv Wanamaker, past presi
j dent of the Chamber, received
Citizenship and Service to
i Youth awards.

contributions in fund-raising
