A&T President Asks Stale Body For
$2,655,000 To Finance New
Programs, Salaries at University
Raleigh, N. C. ? The presi
dent of A&T State University
Monday asked the state Advis
ory Budget Commission for $2,
655,019 for new programs which
would be effective the biennium
beginning in 1971.
Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy presented
the University's "B" budget, that
is programs not included In the
regular operating budget.

request was for $942,754 for sal
Black Revolution Begins in Classes,
Jesse Jackson Tells A&T Students
The greatest contribution that
young blacks can make to the
so called "black revolution" is
to become absorbed in educa
tion and books, A&T State Uni
versity students were told here
Sunday.
"Man must develop his mind,-'
said Dr. Jesse Jackson, national
director of Operation Bread
basket. "He must become con
scious to control the land or he
will be swallowed up by it."
Jackson was guest speaker at
the annual Freshman Worship
Service in Moore Gym.
He asked the students to em
brace a new kind of salf realiza
tion. "Watch those young people
who are concerned for revolu
tion without having the know
ledge to carry it through," said
Jackson. "Anybody who aspires
to be a leader, must first de
velop his own mind."
Jackson added that most of
the heroes young people embrace
are scholars in their own right.
"Your determination must be in
line with your destination," he
said. "If you are really con
cerned about getting a new po
litical order, the political science
classes at A&T won't be able to
hold all of you."
"Don't be a philosophical
freak, screaming about revolu
tion," continued Jackson, him
self a graduate of A&T. "De
velop your mind as a priority,
because zeal without knowledge
is dangerous."
Jackson urged on the young
audience devotion to self pride.
"There is a frustration when
there is a gap between your
ambition and your achievement,
because there is a loss of in
tegrity. Moses h^ad this same
kind of identity conflicts," said
Jackson. "But when he found
out who he was, he was able to
realize all kind of possibilities."
ary Increases. "We requested
these funds," said Dowdy, "to
make certain needed adjust
ments. These are based on a
study of salaries of institutions
comparable to A&T. These in
creases represent the bare min
imums which will be necessary
to keep our faculty salaries at
a competitive level."
Dowdy also asked for 21 new
faculty positions. "We have 25
department chairmen who are
listed as fulltime teachers, bat
who really spend one third of
their time in administrative du
ties;" he said. "This practice has
created a severe shortage In in
structional positions and makes
it difficult to provide instruc
tion for all of our students."
Also requested by Dowdy was
$199,352, most of which would
go for salaries of personnel need
ed to man the University's new
Computer Science Center. Dowdy
pointed out that A&T has al
ready received more than $400,
000 for the center from federal
agencies and private firms.
Dowdy also asked the com
mission to provide $378,739 for
additional personnel for the
University's maintenance and
physical plant operations.
Other requests included $172,
000 for library personnel and
$30,000 for faculty research
grants.
