SUPREME COURT
COULD KILL MIXII
By Richard Moore
Approval of legislation to curb
school busing could put brakes
on school desegregation as well,
the president of a national program
for predominately black
colleges said in Greensboro recently.
"There ultimately may be a
Supreme Court decision which
may limit busing and desegregation,"
said Dr. Elias Blake Jr.,
president of the Institute for
Se. vices to Education in Washington.
Blake was the keynote speaker
at the opening session of the
annual faculty-staff institute at
A&T State University.
"This is a very delicate kind
of transitional period," he said,
"and we are going to have to be
careful to protect predominately
black institutions, while people
work out these other problems."
Blake said the historical development
of predominately
black colleges In the United
States supports the fact that

NATION SAYS DR
"Today's college students have
the obligation of helping to complete
the process of freedom for
the entire society," more than
1,000 freshmen at A&T State
University were told recently.
The students were addressed
in their opening convocation by
Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, chancellor
of the university.
"We must be concerned about
what we can do to push this
nation forward," said Dowdy.
"We must understand our objective
clearly and we can prevail,
if we don't wear glasses of
pessimism."
Dowdy told the students that
insight and understanding are
needed to successfully pursue
their college careers. "We must
j have objectives and goals and
; the daring to go after these
j goals," he added.
"Some of us believe that we
i were born unlucky," said Dowdy,
"but there is no such thing as
bad luck."
In closing, Dowdy urged the
students to help complete the
process of freedom. "We must
j do that," he said, "but nothing

these colleges are going to continue
to be needed.
"Black colleges have continued
to be the recovery system,"
he said. "They have served to
recover the brutalized intelligence
of black youth."
"This is not io reject bi-racial
institutions," he added, "because
I think many of our black institutions
ultimately will become
bi-racial. But the major universities
are not going to shape
as their primary role the recovering
of black youth."
Blake said black youths are
drastically under represented in
the state's higher education population.
"The public school population
is 30 per cent black," he said,
"but only about 11 per cent of
the. higher education population
is black."
"The greatest institutions in
this country have been the black
colleges," said Blake. "They have
taken people who were outside
of the social order, and made it
possible for them to fit into the
framework of the social order."

at all can be done without the
tools, and they include preparation
and knowledge."
A&T is expected to enroll
more than 4,500 students for the
fall term. The university is ex
pected to being a number of
curriculum changes and new
programs.
Included in the new offerings
is an innovative program to
train paraprofessionals for the
mental health field. The program,
funded by a federal grant,
is directed by Mrs. Hattye Liston.
