2 THE CABCLIHIAN RALEIGH, N. C„ SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1§62 ODDS & ENDS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE l> trustees rescind its actions of ter minating Dr. Strasner's presidency 'he convention thereby expressed confidence in the trustees. The implied threat embodied in the executive committee's resolu tion to the effect tnat unless he trustees recognized its obligation to the convention by adhering to the demands of the Convention's executive committee or suffer the consequences. Dr. R. M. Pitts, Con vention president, felt so keenly the wrongness of that resolution that he asked for its deletion by common consent. The convsnion overwhelmingly gave its consent. The executive committee’s reso lution requesting a meeting be tween representatives of the Con vention and the trustees was the only executive -'ommittee action deemed sufficiently meritorious to warrant acceptance by the con vention Tt would appear to be beyond the realm of possiblity that Dr. Srassner’s proposal that he be made chancellor of Shaw with a yearly salary of $12,000. a 3 year contract and a guarantee that he not be “insulted by any of the stu dents’’ has he slightest chance of being adopted by either the trustees or the convention. We fee! that much rubbish was cleared away during this brief con vention session. We believe that a better understanding will prevail and that, now that the smoke has cleared away, all concerned will work together tor the good of all. j LOSING EMPLOYMENT GAINS j What is going on in the area of 1 Negro employment in the industri- j al field. Locally, some of the gains appear to have been wiped out. We understand that there has been some unwarranted discharges of Negro workers at Wake Memo nal Hospital. We have not seen any Negro cashiers at the Winn-Dixie stores for some time. We have been told that the number of workers at the Kellogg plant has been re duced to less than a handful and that Negroes, recently hired, at oth er indust-ial and commercial estab lishments have been discharged. All of this seems to indicate the need for the Job Orientation Com mittee of the Raleigh Citizens As- ! sociation to alert itself and find ' cut just what is going on. This is a most serious matter, one which j should receive most serious consid- I e rat ion.

Dr. R. M. Pitts, president of the convention urged the delegates to avoid talking of splitting the con vention. “When I hear of you splitting,” he said, “I’m quitting.” D. H, Hedgley of Winston-Sal em, a member of the conventions executive committee, reported on his talks with the trustees. He said the trustees told him they dismissed Strassner because of “low morale” among the students and faculty, decreased enrollment at Shaw, poor operation of the business office and the “embar assment” the college had suffered because of a number of small suits brought against Shaw by busH nessmen for unpaid bills.

White said that the board told Strassner they would be glad to have him serve the school in an other capacity. He said Strassner then asked him about the chancellorship of the school with professor status at the same $11,500 salary he is now receiving as president. White said the matter would have to be taken up with a com mittee of trustees and convention before the job could be offered at the salary requested. According to White, Strassner said he would accept the position under the conditions that he get a three-year contract, that his salary remain the same, and that he get a guarantee against “in dignities” from the students. The convention also resolved to continue its financial and moral support to Shaw and gave Dr Strassner a rising vote of thanks and confidence. In addition to the delegates at the meeting, nearly 50 students crowded the balcony of the chap el. They were asked by Dr. Pitts not to vote on any of the matters at hand because they were not members of the convention.

The convention met supposedly to smooth out differences between itself and the trustee board of Shaw University, but instead, it appear ed as though the gap was widened Lack of cooperation was display ed by both the convention princi paJs and trustee board representa tives. They bickered, argued on points of parliamentary law and literally went at each other’s necks in a manner most unbecoming to men of the Cloth. For nearly four hours, delegates jumped up asking to be heard . . . and it appeared this was all they were doing, being heard. . . talking to hear themselves talk with no sa liency to solve the problem. They somewhat reminded this writer of a bunch of hungry wolves fighting over a helpless lamb. (In this case the lamb is Shaw). The attitude displayed by many of the convention members, oppos ing the decision of the trustee board, seem to indicate that they were not too familiar with the matter. They were voting and raising smoke about the release of Strass ner without even knowing why the Gr&mbling Hurler Gets Contract With N. Y. Mets gGambling, La. (anp? Hilliry Bossier of G rambling Col lege, the nation's top small-college pitcher, sighed a bonus contract with the New York Mets last week for an undisclosed sum. Bossier was assigned to Quicny, 111., in the Mid-west League. The 5-10, 165-pound righthander allowed only three earned runs in 51 innings for a 0.53 EBA. He struckout 79. Bossier posted a 6-1 mark in hurling the Tigers to the Southwestern Conference Champi onship. President-Coach B. W. E. Jones calls him a fine major league pros spect. "He has the arm, stamina, a good curve, speed and competitive spirit.’’ The 21-ycar-old New Orleans sen ior was signed by Met scout Morris "Buddy” Hancken. CARDINALS SIGN TONY TAYLORS BROTHER ST. LOUIS (ANP) Jose Tay lor, 13-year-old brother of Tony Taylor, second baseman of the Phi ladelphia Phillies, last week was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals baseball earn, and assigned to Brunswick.

He is 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds.

From this writ er's conception, a board ox trustees of a school is the governing body This means they are responsible for the school as a whole and its w el fare. and they are to be governed by no other body. The situation all boils down to one thing. . . that is, who’s going to run Shaw, the board of trustees which has been elected to do so or the Stale Baptist Convention which is alleged to contribute less than six percent to Shaw's budget. The trustee board would have done well not to even waste its time at such a meeting as Tues day's. They bad made their decisi on, and there really was no point in rehashing the issue. The trustee board showed also it could be a little uncanny by off- * ering tc a man, they had just fired, p as president, the chancellorship of the school. What mortals we be! They had already indicated, by their decision, to release the man. that he was not A good administrative head, but ♦bye come right Hack and offer al most the same job to him. Could it have been that the board is bending under the threats of t.he convention and is trying to smooth ever the situation by creating a job for Strassner? What principals at t.he convention obviously overlooked was their reason for being there ... to look cut for the welfare of Shaw. But it was obvious that this wasn't in their minds. It seemed they only wanted to grind their petty axes and display their dislikes against their brother ministers. The Shaw incident is « clear ex ample, to the thinking citizen what a force the Baptists could be, for right and righteousness if they would join hirnds and hearts, competent leadership.
