ERNEST CAMACK HELD IN SLAYING
OF FRANK DAVIS, JR.
Ernest Camack of 847 Muncey
Lane, a barber, was bound over
to Guilford Superior Court
Thursday on a first-degree mur
der charge in the death of
Frank Davis Jr. after a prelimi
nary hearing here in District
Court.
The only witness heard was
Donald Rogers of 782 Dett
Court. He said that on the after
noon of Jan. 21 he went into a
barber shop at 922 Gorrell St,
where Camack was a barber
and Davis shined shoes.
As he entered the shop, Ca
mack and Davis were arguing,
he said, but he did not hear
what was said. Rogers said that
Davis left the shop and return
ed about five minutes later.
Rogers said that Davis ap
peared to be headed for the
bathroom when Camack told
him, "I thought I told you not
to sweep around my chair."
"Did Davis say anything?"
Assistant Prosecutor Richard
Dailey asked.
"He didnt say nary word,"
Rogers replied.
Rogers said that Camack pull
ed a .25-caliber pistol from his
pocket and fired it at Davis
and that he, Rogers, headed for
the front door and just as he
arrived there he heard a second
shot and turned around and saw
Davis fall to the floor.
Davis was shot once, accord
ing to the police report, the
bullet entering his forehead.
Judge Kenneth Carrington or
dered Camack bound over to the
higher court and said, "Superior
Court will have to set his bond."
KEEP ALL BUCK COLLEGES OPEN,
PRESIDENT OF A&T URGES NATION
One of the crucial problems
of higher education in the 1970's
is the ending of speculation
about the future of predomin
ately black colleges and uni
versities, according to Dr. Lewis
C. Dowdy, president of A&T
State University.
"Why should we even talk
about the possible disuse of
these great social instruments
that have meant so much to
us," said Dowdy. "These are
the institutions that should be
utilized to help us realize the
American dream."
Dowdy was speaking last
Thursday afternoon at the week
ly Luncheon Club meeting at
the Hayes-Taylor YMCA.
"In the seventies," added
Dowdy, "higher education must
' receive its rightful place. We
must continue to go upward,
because we are just about at 50
percent level. I mean that about
50 percent of those of college
age are now in college. We must
continue to improve on this fig
ure."
Returning to his discussion of
the future of the predominately
black institutions, Dowdy point
ed out that most of the college
trained blacks in the nation are
products of these colleges.
A recent study reveals that
79 per cent of all blacks who
received baccalaureate degrees
in 1968," he said, received them
from black institutions. That al
so goes for 70 percent of the
black federal Judges in this
country and 87 percent of all
black engineers."
"These institutions," said
Dowdy, "have been denied the
kind of funding they should
have had. Why should we even
talk about disusing them. In
stead, they should be designated
as national resources and fund
ed by the federal government
because of contributions they
I are making. The United Statea
would not be so great as It
proposes to be had it not bees
for the contributions of these
institutions."
In his remarks, Dowdy also
saki that all collages and uni
versities "must make their cur
riculums much more relevant
than they have been. This is
what these students have been
talking about in recent years."
