j Hh.D. Honored
Mt A&T Finals
Dr. Reginald Amory, dean of
! the School of Engineering at
A&T State University, was
recently awarded the university's
first Excellence Award for ad- j
ministrators.
Amory's citation, including a
check for $500, was presented by
Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, president
of A&T.
Dowdy said The Excellence!
Award will be presented every
other year to the administrator
who best exemplifies the university's
constant pursuit of excellence
in all things." On alternating
years, the award will
go to two outstanding faculty i
j members.
In his remarks, Dowdy paid
, tribute to Amory as an adminiI
strator. "His sensitivity and his'
> keen awareness of the changing
j educational scene and of the,
' problems and aspirations of this
particular university, enable
i him to function at the highest
' level of proficiency," said Dowdy.
Dowdy said Amory, 35, was
especially cited by the selection
j committee for his outstanding
program of faculty recruitment
and development, for his ability
to attract supporting funds from
firms and industries and for his
leadership in vitalizing the
school's research program.
The committee noted that
since Amory became dean in
1968, the school's research value
has increased from $3,000 to
nearly $500,000.
Amory has guided the School
of Engineering to national ac-1
creditation by the Engineering j
Council for Professional De- 1
velopment (ECPD). The school
has also initiated a master's degree
program in engineering.
"His innovative approach to
education and his interest in the
students, make him a valuable
asset to this university," said
Dr. Glenn F*. Rankin, dean of
I academic affairs.
Rankin said that when Amory
arrived at A&T, the School of
Engineering had only one other
doctorate. More than 60 per cent
of the school's faculty members
now hold Ph.D. degrees.
A native of Peekskill, New
York, Amory is a graduate of
the New York University. He
holds advanced engineering degrees
from Clarkson College of
Technology and Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute.

"Last year our program was
considered to be one of the

C.O.C.A.R. JUBIL
ANGELA DAVIS'
NEW YORK, June 9 ? The
following statement was released
today by the United Presbyterian
Council on Church and
Race:
The acquittal of Angela Davis
on June 4 was an occasion for
quiet jubilation and sober reflection
by the United Presbyterian
Council on Church and
Kate which made a grant of
jlh.OUO to the Angela Davis Defense
Fund on March 15, 1971.
The COCAR grant, made to help
assure a fair trial, was widely
interpreted across the church
as unwise. It triggered a protracted
controversy among United
Presbyterians concerning the
use of denominational funds for
legal assistance to the Black
radical.
Despite the subsequent opposition
of many Presbyterians a
considerable segment of the
church held firmly to the COCAR
position that in the climate
of anti-communist and
tacist hysteria surrounding the
case, there was room for reasonable
doubt that Angela Davis
would receive a fair trial. She
did receive a fair trial and the
American judicial system has
proved once again that it can
operate fairly for all people.

IEA YOUNGSTERS
Moore said this year's program
will involve the efforts
of a number of community
agencies. "The Red Cross will
instruct the youngsters in the '
techniques of first aid and some
of the churches are providing
us with their busses with which
: to transport the youngsters, he
said.
He said that pickup stations
will be established at six different
public housing areas.
The basic components of this
, program will be basic instruci

also provide a medical screen1

ANT OVER
ACQUITTAL
I It seems clear, however, that
the outcry from the black community
and the worldwide at|
tention given the case served to
expose to public view the fact
that Angela Davis' arrest and
incarceration had more to do
I with her race and politics than
| with clear evidence of guilt for
; the crimes charged.
The United Presbyterian
| Church r.lavcd a contested, but
i significant part in helping to
open up the fair trial question
in the Davis case, and with the
exception of the Y.W.C.A., was
j the only major religious instituj
tion in the United States to do
; so. Following the announcei
ment of the acquittal Mr. J.
Henry Neale, Dr. Edler G. Hawkins,
co-chairmen, and Dr.
Gayraud S. Wilmore, staff exI
ecutive of tha Council on
Church and Race, made the foll
lowing joint statement:
"COCAR is deeply appreciative
of the many ministers and
laymen who supported the
Council during the Angela Davis
debate which came to an end
