Dr. . ewaom, in a strongly worded letter, has stated that he is “appalled at the insidious implications we made from leg endary information derived from persons styled by you as “Persons In the know...*’ This was in reply to a statement by the writer that “persons in the know” confided that, appa rently, Newsom had touched some wrong keys first in at tempting some of his moves.” No one wished to be quoted. This, Dr. Newsom states, is absolutely without foundation. Dr. Newsom, declares that there Is no ground for think ing his resignation was request ed as he scored the use of the statement: “It was hard for many delegatesto... understand why Dr. Newsom was 'releas ed* after having led the col lege in acquiring almost as much more land for expansion as it owned to his coming,” Newsom states that “I could not have done half of what I was able to do if there had been complete cooperation with several persons in authority.” Furthermore, Newsom states he “has accepted a position with the Southern Regional Edu cation Board as the Associate Director of a project... designed to discover ways and means of improving all predominantly Negro colleges,” including Barber-Scotia. Newsom also states that there the writer, “By innuendo, misled your readers” regarding the rela tionship existing between him self, Dr. Gozart and other ad ministrative officials, includ ing the Board of Trustees of Barber-Scotia College. Newsom said: “Dr. Gozart, President Emeritus, and I have worked well together. As an able educator and leader of this college for 32 years, he was invited to head the Cen tennial Development Fund Cam paign” and works out of his office here at his discretion. Regarding Gozart being “non cornmital” when quried on the subject of Newsom’s resigna tion, Newsom asked “...what would you expect a dedicated scholar and a Christian gen tleman to say about his succes sor who is attempting to build on his foundation?” Newsom expressed pleasure that we had quoted the students with hav ing regrets because of his leaving the century-old form er female Presbyterian institu tion which is now coeducational.

Heretofore there were some differences in methods and em phasis but none in ultimate goals. The end was always to be the inclusic of the A merlcan Negro, without racial discrimination, as a full fledged equal in all phases of American citizenship. There has now emerged, first a strident and threatening chal lenge to a strategy widely em ployed by civil rights groups, namely non-violence. One or ganization which has been meet ing in Baltimore has passed & resolution declaring for defense of themselves by Negro citi zens if they are attacked. This position is not new as far as the NAACP is concern ed. Historically our associa tion has defended in court those persons who have defended themselves and their homes with firearms. But neither have we couched a policy of manly resistance in such away that our members and supporters felt compelled to maintain themselves in an armed state, ready to retaliate instantly and in kind whenever attacked. We venture the observation that such a publicized posture could serve to stir counter planning, counteracting and possible conflict. If carried out literally as instant relati ation, in cases adjudged by ag grieved persons to have been grossly unjust, this policy could produce-inextreme situations lynchings, or in better-sound ing phraseology, private vigi lante vengeance. Moreover, in attempting to substitute for derelict law en forcement machinery, the poli cy entails the risk of a broad er, more indiscriminate crack down by law officers under the ready-made excuse of restoring law and order. It seems reasonable to as sume that proclaimed protec tice violence is as likely to encourage counterviolence as it is to discourage violent per secution. But the more serious divi sion In the civil rights move ment is the one posed by a word formulation that implied clearly a difference in goals. No matter how endlessly they try to explain it, the term “black power” means anti white power. In a racially pluralistic society, the concept, the formation and the exercise of that ethnically tagged pow - er means opposition to other ethnic powers. In the black white relationship, it has to mean that every other ethnic power is the rival and the an tagonist of “black power.” It has to mean separatism. Now separatism, whether on the rarefied debate level of “black power” or on the wish ful level of a Secessionist Free dom City in Watts, offers a disadvantaged minority little except a cjiance to shrivel and die,” he stated.

Liimmls In House Vote WienLkep WASHINGTON, D. C. - “The 1966 Civil Rights bill falls far short of its claimed purpose of guaranteeing equal protection of the laws and equal access to housing for all Americans regardless of race, creed, or national origin,” last week de clared congressman John Con yers, Jr. (Dem-Mich). Conyers joined with three other liberal Democrats on the House Judi ciary Committee, Robert Kas tenmeier (Wis), Jacob Gilbert (N. Y.), and Don Edwards (Calif) in a statement critical of the bill approved two weeks ago by the committee. The joint statement submitted with the committee report par ticularly stressed the need for more vigorous efforts by the Congress and the Executive Branch to enforce present civil rights laws. Though indicating their support for the bill, the four Congressmen called for a series of amendments: exten sion of the federal fair employ ment practices law to cover employees of State and local government, removal of crimi nal cases from State to Fed eral courts where necessary to assure justice, indemnifica tion of victims of racial vio lence, and more automatic pro visions guaranteeing the non discriminatory selection of State juries. In the major amendment weakening the housing section of the bill, the Judiciary Com mittee had voted to allow indi vidual homeowners to prac tice racial discrimination in the sale or rental of their own hous es. In conflict with previous interpretations of the commit tee’s action, the four Congress men declared, “the individual owner is not permitted by the language of Title IV to‘hire an agent to Be the instrument of discrimination.” On Monday the weekly publication of the Na tional Association of Real Es tate Boards also declared that the bill in no way exempts real estate agents.

C. - The National Education Association last Thursday announced it is providing the nation’s 300 lar gest school systems and 2,800 school districts in the South with a large list of teacher can didates in an effort to ease the critical teaching shortage In these areas. The NEA has released a list of 1,600 teacher candidates from last June’s graduating class of selected Southern colleges in a unique service dubbed "Project ’66.” It is designed to assist college placement officers in predominantly Negro teacher colleges and to aid school sys tems to fill critical teacher vacancies. The project is administered by the NEA Committee on Ci vil and Human Rights of Edu cators. The Committee is under the jurisdiction of NEA’s Com mission on Professional Rights and Responsibilities. “Project ’66’’ is funded jointly by the NEA and the Atlanta based Southern Education Foundation and grew out of recommenda tions made by the Report of Teacher Displacement in 17 states made last December by a special NEA Task Force Sur Not h But tits ltd, an All-Electric Home and we*ll give you one, with our compliments! it’s round, about three inches in diam eter and painted gold.

The foremost educators in the country today, .who are acutely concerned about closing the ex isting gap which is apparent between the educational, quality of the Negro and white institu tions, say that Shaw may have established a blueprint for Ne gro institutions in the South. According to Dr. James E.

"We have found,” Dr. Cheek said, “that the white colleges are taking the cream of the crop as part of their integra tion efforts and this leaves us with students who have the de sire for a college education but require a great deal of help. For this kind of stu dent we have the pre-bacca laureate program.” President Cheek, a Shaw a lumnus who holds a Ph.
