$1 million loan from the federal government to renovate Cheshire
Building. Once that renovation is complete, it will house the
academic business department, giving students majoring in various
fields of business and business administration a modern facility in
which to study and work.
Robinson said he expects the outdoor track and field facility to be
completed in time for spring use. The $400,000 facility will be
available not only to the St. Augustine’s College family but to the
community as well, through a joint program with the college and the
City of Raleigh.
Robinson said another grant from the Lily Foundation will allow
the college to complete the final phase of building to the Fine Arts
Center complex. The new wing will house the radio and low-power
television station, and the academic communications program. Once
matched, he said that the grant will total more than $1 million.
Also in the planning stages is the building of a new indoor educa
tional athletic facility, that will house an indoor swimming pool, an
indoor track, basketball, volleyball courts, that will seat 3,000 to 4,000
persons, and classroom facilities.
Robinson urged incoming freshmen to be serious about their
education. He calls education the key to a brighter future for
America.
“You must work as if demons were at your heels," he-said, "to
make sure you are prepared to face our ever-changing society.”

pounds, with a full reddish beard.

green fatigue jacket and gray
snakeskin boots. He also wore a pair
of gold-rimmed sunglasses. If you

BENJAMIN HOOKS
(Continued from page 1)
brutal intimidation—even
murder—were used to deprive blacks
of the vote.
Finally, in 1965, President Lyndon
B. Johnson issued a charter of
political freedom for black
Americans when he signed the Voting
Rights Act, which he had asked Con
gress to pass in his famed “We Shall
Overcome” speech of March 15,1965.
It was against a backdrop of toil
and terror that blacks struggled to
gain the right to vote. Bodies were
broken. Blood was shed.
That grim history ought tff impel
every black American to vote at
every opportunity.
I understand that this election cam
paign has been a turnoff for many
voters. Instead of sober debate about
serious issues, the voters have been
given a festival of irrelevancy.
Many black voters are dispirited
because of the political fate of Rev.
Jesse Jackson
All these concerns are Under
standable. But they are not sufficient
reason to refrain from voting.
It would be an insult to the memory
of Medgar Evers, Jimmy Lee
Jackson and other martyrs of the
struggle for black Americans to stay
at home on Election Day.
It would be an insult to the lives and
work of James Weldon Johnson,
Walter White, Roy Wilkins, Martin
Luther King, Jr. and others for black
Americans to fail to vote.
And it is an insult to Jesse Jackson,
who is encouraging a massive black
turnout, for black Americans to stay
away from the polls.
Don’t be a non-voter.
VOTE! BE HEARD!
FOR PRESIDENT
(Continued from page 1)
personal bias, personal preference
and sentiment before the provisions
of the Constitution and its intent to
impartially balance individual rights
with the public good.
Dukakis, on the other hand, says
“No,” even to himself, when he
knows the Constitution must prevaiT
It must be upheld. Dukakis is very
clear on this, as he is equally clear in
his position against waging war that
is undeclared by Congress (the Con
stitution provides that only Congress
shall declare war) and trading arms
!6r hostages. .
I remember another Democrat,
Lyndon Johnson, who used to address
us as “My fellow Americans,” in that
slow Southern drawl, but he made
good on his words by envisioning the
Great Society and lending his ad
vocacy to the Civil Rights and Voting
Rights Acts.
Bush doesn’t even pretend to
acknowledge the needs of all people
in this country. His position against
the Civil Rights Restoration Act, the
Equal Rights Amendment, affir
mative action, advance notification
of plant closings and layoffs, and his
favoring of a nominee for the
Supreme Court who would have
unabashedly set back more than 30
years of civil rights legislation all tell
the sad story of Bush’s flagrant
disregard for liberty, general welfare
and domestic tranquility of the people
who
share a beer with,” as someone sug
gested? Or are you looking for a
president who demands high ethical
standards of himself, of his ap
pointees and his administration? In
commenting that “Slease is neither a
liberal nor a conservative problem,”
Bush seems to dismiss it as an accep
table condition within government. Is
this good enough for a president?
Dukakis thinks not. He believes vir
tue should be demonstrated at the
top.
What about seriousness versus
likableness? Do you want a likable
president sitting around sipping beer,
telling you everything is all right
when nuclear waste is being dumped
in communities, poorly built and.
maintained nuclear plants are
threatening to blow up in the cities,
AIDS is spreding unchecked across
the nation as are drugs across our
borders, foreign investment and con
nections are taking over our Jobs and
institutions, pollutants are making
our air and water unfit to breathe and
drink, overdevelopment is raping our
lands, and the homeless lie in our
streets? Dukakis says he’s concerned
about all that. Bush says yes, but...
“We have 1,000 points of light.”
When it comes right down to it, all
we ha ve are our Constitution, our peo
ple, and a serious and deliberative
process by which to carry on the
business of the people and the
business of the people in relationship
with the peoples of the world. And if
any candidate fails on these points of
advocacy, he should not be granted
the privilege and honor of assuming
the office of president of the United
States.
SUPERSTAR BANK
(Continued from page 1)
surance Co. The location for the new
bank had been suggested to Fitz
gerald by John Merrick, one of the
original incorporators, who was also
president of the insurance company.
Today, out of 14,000 banks that were
surveyed, Mechanics and Farmers is
ranked among the top 175 institutions
that are “safe for you to keep your
money.”
Senior Vice President and City Ex
ecutive of the Raleigh Office Stanley
Green said that they have “always
known that the performance of the
bank has been excellent based on its
portfolio of loans and investments.
However, to be recognized by Money
Magazine as a prestigious and stable
institution is something very
special.” He credits the employees
with being sensitive and flexible to
their customers’ needs.
Green said, “We will stay abreast
of market trends and conditions
through continuous training,
workshops, seminars and listening to
our customers and attempt to an
ticipate growth that the economy dic
tates.”
Green said the bank has not lost
sight of the original philosophy under
which it was founded and its primary
goal will continue to be to provide the
best possible service to its customes
and to assist them with their financial
needs.
Superstar banks “are all highly
profitable, consistent performers,”
the survey said. “There was no
decline in their equity quarter to
quarter and no drastic changes in
their liquidity.
“They don’t compete for deposits
with especially high interest rates.
The reason: their regular customers
bring them all the business they
want. Therefore, for example, the
average six-month CD from a
superstar bank yields seven percent,
compared with the national average
of 7.4 percent," the report concluded.
Veribanc, a Woburn, Mass.,
research firm, measured 14,000
banks against extremely stringent
criteria. Then, Money, with the help
of Bank Rate Monitor, surveyed the
six largest “superstars,” where
available, in each state. The list was
pared to 175, based on the banks'
asset size and the number of services
they offered, while ensuring that all
states with superstars were
represented.
