REPRESENTATIVE HENRY E. FRYE
LEADS HOUSE TICKET
REP. HENRY E. FRYE
Guilford County voters cast
a vote of confidence in the tried
and tested leadership of Henry
E. Frye, by recalling him to
the North Carolina Legislature
for a second two year term. It
is important to note that not
only was Mr. Frye recalled to
the Legislature, but he emerged
as the undisputed leader among
those seeking the six available
seats from Guilford County.
Mr. Frye was not satisfied to
sit back, remain aloof and be
come self-satisfied with what he
had been able to accomplsh as
the first black member of the
North Carolina General Assem
bly since the days of reconstruc
tion. His sense of pride and re
sponsibility drove him to attain
an objective which prior to 1968
was called an outlandish pipe
dream.
It is very encouraging that |
over 40,000 Guilford County
citizens went to the polls with
determination and a commit
ment to promote through the
democratic process the best in
terest of our dynamic ever pro
gressing community. It is to the
credit of our local citizens and
elected officials that four local
bond issues were approved with
out question. Local citizens can
look forward to street improve
ments, improved sewer and
waste treatment facilities, and
many improvements in our Mu
nicipal water system.
The major difference between
the outcome of the election in
| Guilford County and those in
, so many other areas of the South
, is one of attitude of its citizens.
; Guilford County showed a will
ingness to accept its destiny and
move aggressively into the 20th
century, risking its very future
and the chance of failure in or
der to break with tradition and
move into new areas of oppor

vate enterprise supporting high

tional Science Foundation, $90,
000 from Control Data Corpora

University foundation, and other
funds from the state for main
tenance and personnel.
The principle equipment in
stalled this week was the Con
trol Data 3170 computer sys
tem. Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, pres
ident of A&T, said the new cen
ter will also be used to solve
technical problems for business
and industry in the area and to
assist in the administrative and
research problems of other col
leges.
Recently appointed to direct
the Computer Science Center
was youthful engineer George
i Beatty, an A&T graduate who
formerly worked for NASA's
Lewis Research Center in Cleve

Morgan State Wins 15-9
Over A&T Aggies -
By Richard E. Moore
North Carolina A&T pushed
across nine quick points against
Morgan State here last Satur
day, but the league leading
Bears rallied to win the game,
15-9.
For the third straight year,
the two small-college football
powers staged one of their ex
citing duels, this time before
20,000 A&T Homecoming fans.
In whipping the Aggies for
the first time in three years,
Morgan upped its overall season
record to 6-1, while the loss
leaves the Aggies with a 3-4
record.
Morgan's winning points came
on an 18-yard pass from quar
terback David Freland to flanker
Curtis Davis with 5:41 left in
the third quarter. Until that
time, the Bears had trailed 9-7.
After Davis' fine touchdown
catch, placekicker Ron Mayo be
came bushed, but scooted across
the goaline for a two-point con
version to sew up the victory.
It was in the first quarter
that A&T showed signs of break
ing the game wide open. On
their second series of downs, the
Aggies climaxed an extended
drive with a 29-yard field goal
by sophomore kicker John Guy.
That came with 5:06 left in the
period.
Moments later, the Aggies got
the ball again, this time moving
