are located in the 17 south
eastern states and the District
of Columbia,” he said. “There
is a certain irony in the fact
that the doors of higher edu
cation for Negroes are open
most widely in states which are
known for their greatest preju
dice in the area of race rela
tions,” “On the other hand,
said the speaker, when one
looks at the origin of these
institutions this fact is more
easily understood, for many
of these institutions are the
result of the motivation of
Christian men and women who
were moved by the tragedies
which occurred in this country
in the late nineteenth century,”
“The day of patronage in A
merican Society Is very rapid
ly coming to an end.” "One
can no longer ride on the coat
tail of his father or his family
or his race or his church,”
stated the speaker, "The com
petition of the world before us
demands that every man must
be able to stand on his own
two feet and make good use of
the talents which God has given
to him.” "In the academic
world, noted the speaker, the
students must have a determi
nation to graduate and to a
chieve.” "And those of us who
are concerned with education
in predominantly Negro col
leges must incur selection pro
cess look for young people who
possess these mot iv a tlonal
forces,” he said.
The colorful clergyman and
chairman of St. Augustine’s
Board of Trustees had this to
say about the future of segre
gated schools: "Any kuowledg
able person in the field of race
relations knows that the seg
regated school will, within 25
years, be phased out of the A
merlean scene, unless it rises
to the standards which will at
tract people of all races.”
During the course of his
speech, Bishop Fraser com
mended St, Augustine’s College
for doing everything possible
to readicate the condition of
inequality among its students
which has been brought on by
poor elementary and high school
preparation. He also commend
ed the college for sending over
eighteen per cent of its 1965
graduating class on to such
leading graduate schools as Ok
lahoma University, the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, and the
University of Chicago!
Symphony
(Continued from Page 1)
estra at Raleigh Memorial Au
ditorium Monday night. The au
dience was held spell-bound by
the skillful renditions of many
classical works of art.
Following such distinguished
conductors as._Eugene Orman
dy, Dimitri Mitropoulos, and
Antal Dorati, Conductor Skro
waczewski is the sixth leader
of the orchestra and is in his
sixth year js a resident of this
country.
Born in Poland, he was edu
cated in his native home, Par
is and Germany, studying un
der many world-renowedmusi
cians. Skrowaczewski’s tal
ent on on the piano and the
viola are legend.
Monday night’s program con
sisted of the following: Mozart’s
Symphony No. 5, in D major;
Barber’s Medea’s Meditation
and Dance of Vengeance, Opus
23 A, followed by tremendous
ovations and intermission;
Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5
in El minor, Opus 64, was rend
ered after the short "break.”
At least three encore num
bers were rendered, including
one by the famous composer
Strauss.
Following the concert, the
students and faculty of Shaw
had a chance to meet the mae
stro and members of the or
chestra during a reception held
in the fabulous Raleigh Room of
the Auditorium,
Clifford Coles, director of
development, public relations
and alumni affairs at Shaw, told
The CAROLINIAN, "We are de
lighted to open up the series
with such a famous group,”
Asked if there were any Ne
gro members in his orchestra,
the maestro answered, "No, but
we do have one person from In
dia with us. Maybe two or
three years from now we will
have 100 members, but imme
diate plans call for 96.”
Following the Raleigh con
cert, the orchestra left for
Boone on Tuesday, then to
Greensboro, Spartanburg, S. C.,
Augusta, Ga., charleston, S.
C., Tuscaloosa, Ala., New Or
leans, and finally Evansville,
Indiana. After having given
some 15 concerts across the
nation, the orchestra will re
turn to Minneapolis.
Married some years ago in
Poland, Skrowaczewski first
came to America in 1958, as
a concert pianist, and spent
two years here.
Os Raleigh, he said, "Raleigh
looks very pleasant and we are
glad to see the sun.”
The conductor 's wide acclaim
is a subject of speculation a
mong music lovers intheMlnn
eapolis-St. Paul .area, causing
many of them to wonder if he
might be moving to some bet
ter assignment as did the famed
maestros before him.
Skrowaczewski, however, is
more concerned with making
the Minneapolis Symphony an
even better orchestra.
Dr. King Virgil Cheek, act
ing dean of the college at Shaw,

Explaining why he had accept
ed a position on Governor Rock

said: "Ever since I took an
active interest In politics and
the maintenance of the two par

have re-iterated that I would

I am sincere now in my deci

at a preliminary hearing that
Green had no authority to ar
rest anybody anywhere. The
sheriff said that Green should
have been feeding prisoners at
the jail about the time that he
and Hardin stopped the Hunt
ers.
The Hunter brothers said that
Willie Hunter, who was driving
their car, was slow in getting
out of the vehicle after it was
stopped. They said the police
man then hit Willie Hunter with
a club while Green held a pis
tol and an automatic rifle,
Charlie Hunter said that he
yelled to Hardin, "Don’t hit him
anymore.” and tried to get out
of the car. The boy charged
that Green pushed him back in
to the car while Hardin hit his
brother with the club again.
The Hunter s related that Wil
lie was lying on the ground haif
consclous, and Hardin waspre
paring to hit him again, when
Charlie grabbed the pistol from
Green and shot the policeman.
The brothers were taken to
the Surnter County Jail in A

students at a Greensboro lunch
counter.
He told how the revolution
began as a middle-class move
ment and how it has a signi
ficant effect on the lives of the
middle class Negro and espe
cially the college-trained Ne
gro.
"Although federal civil rights
and a voting bill have been pass
ed, we have not yet won the
Civil Rights revolution,” Mr.
Farmer reminded his audience,
"These victories are almost
meaningless for they have not
changed the lives of the mass
es of Negroes very much-they
still send tlmir children to seg
regated rural schools, the
masses work the same long
hours for the same low pay,
black bodies still float down
the rivers and few whites are
arrested for crimes of violence
against Negroes and when there
are arrests there havebeenfew
convictions and no convictions
for murder,” he stated.
"Much remains to be done
in the civil rights struggle,
but it must be done with spirit
ual weapons,” John Lewis told
students at Winston-Salem State
College last Wednesday.
Mr, Lewis was the featured
speaker at the midweek as
sembly on the campus. The
Student Government Associa
tion brought htrn to the col
lege in observance of Negro
History Week.
"We are involved in a slug
gle to enable all men to walk
the streets with dignity and
pride,” Mr. Lewis said. "Our
goals are adequate income, de
cent housing, quality education
equal access to ail areas of
American life.”
Lewis reminded his audience
that the civil rights movement
is not inspired by any foreign
ideologies. “Oppressed peo
ple do not have to have any
foreign agent to tell them they
are hurting,” he said.
The speaker deplored our ac
tions In Viet Nam. "All is not
well hi this country when thou
sands are forced to live in
abject poverty in slums and
ghettos and we pretend that we
cannot see the madness of the
war in Viet Nam.”
"There must be an alterna
tive to war, Violence is an
obsolete way of solving prob
lems, Our wars must be wag
ed against poverty, discrimi
nation, slums and ghettos. Ci
vil rights are useless,” he stat
ed, "if civilization is destroy
ed.”

Mr, Lewis described SNCC's
role in the civil rights move
ment as one of strengthening
local communities by getting
community groups to organize
with native leadership, to regis
ter and to vote, to attend free
dom schools and thereby a mea
sure of democracy to the com

yers was severely critical of
the three-month delay in start
ing Operation Help, a federal
program to provide food during
the winter to the poor in Mis
sissippi, "We are half-way
into an unusually severe win
ter when this food can mean
the difference between starva
tion and subsistence for many
families,” declared the Michi
gan Congressman. The delay
was caused by lack of gua
rantees acceptable to Federal
poverty officials that the food
would be distributed without ra
cial discrimination. Last week
the Office of Economic Oppor
tunity announced Operation Help
would finally start because of
the urgent need even though
they were still not satisfied
with the plan submitted by Mis
sissippi welfare officials.
“The matter is certainly
most urgent, but the Federal
government can not allow Mis
sissippi to use the desperate
plight of its citizens to thwart
enforcement of the law which
specifically prohibits racial
discrimination in the use of
Federal funds,” declared Con
yers, He said the Federal
government should itself distri
bute the food where there were
not adequate guarantees of e~
qua! treatment. Conyers also
urged the maximum number of
jobs in the food distribution pro
gram be given to the recipients
so they would be receiving both
food and some income.
