PRESIDENT TERRY HOWARD HOLDS
PRESS CONFERENCE
On October 8, 1971, Mr. Terry
Howard, president of the W.S.S.U.
Student Government Association,
held a press conference here on
campus. Mr. Howard called the
press conference in an effort to
make the students here aware of
Governor Scott's consolidation proposal. The Winston-Salem Journal
and the Winston-Salem Sentinel
were represented at the conference.
Mr. Howard began by reading a
press release which was prepared
by the S.G.A. presidents of the
state's five Black institutions. The
document's conclusion stated that
the five S.G.A.'s were "in opposition to any plan or move that
would destroy the racial identity
of any of the state's Black institutions."
At this point Mr. Howard was
questioned by the Journal's reporter as to what was an ideal racial
percentage here at W.S.S.U. Mr.
Howard stated that he would not
give any number because that in
itself would be against an individ.ual's civil rights. Mr. Howard continued by saying it was "an individual's perrogative to attend the institution where he qualified."
At various times during the conference Mr. Howard allowed members of the S.G.A. to express their
opinions on some of the questions
asked by the press. Mr. Michael
Greene, Student Representative to
the Board of Trustees, commented
that he felt 'the "state's Black institutions were simply being pulled
along for the ride." He continued by stating that East Carolina and U.N.C. at Chapel Hill were
the dominant parties involved in
Scott's proposal.
W.S.S.U. Students
Injured
Two W.S.S.U. students were injured Saturday night, October 9,
when struck by a car as they were
burning to campus from BowmanGray Stadium. Miss Helen Lea and
Miss Irene Nunnally, both freshmen
from Yanceyville, N. C, were
crossing Stadium Drive at Reynolds
Park Road when they were injured. Miss Lea blacked out immediately, but Miss Nunnally remembers the incident this way:
"We were crossing the street with
a group of girls, you know, we
just dashed out in the street. Some
of 'the group made it but we were
less fortunate."
Both young ladies were taken to
Reynolds Memorial Hospital where
they remained "long enough for
them to do X-rays." Afterwards,
they were brought to the school infirmary. Miss Lea, and Miss Nunnally have both been released.
As of this printing, the driver of
the car has not been apprehended.
Rainy weather conditions, the driver's failure to use precautions under such conditions, and the fact
that there are no sidewalks leading to the stadium are thought to
be faotors contributing to the mishap.

WINSTON-SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY
Survey Reveals
Reasons
On Sept. 15, the office of Research and Development administered a survey compiled by the
American Council on Education to
551 new students. The survey contained 29 items which were sent to
the Council for analysis. According to Dr. Archie Blount, Director
of Research and Development, the
results from the council will be
back in December.
At the conclusion of the conference Mr. Howard informed interested parties that he would make a
statement relating to the proposal
at 3:00 p.m. over television station
WSJS. Mr. Howard again emphasized how desperately Black support was needed if the proposal was
going to be challenged at all.

Chairman Seal
To Visit
The controversial Bobby Seale,
Chairman and co-founder of the
Black Panther Party is slated to
appear on the campus of WinstonSalem State University during the
month of November. Tentative
dates are the seventh and the
fourteenth.
Dr. Blount released the facts
pertaining to a very interesting
question. Many students would like
to know what encouraged their
fellow students to attend W.S.S.U.
According to the survey only \''c
of the students came here because
they were not accepted elsewhere.
Thirty-four per cent came because
of the University's reputation.
Thirty-five per cent favored the
educational programs offered and

The universal reasons such as
"wanting to leave home" and
friends' influence accounted for
9% of the 551 students coming
here.

PROFESSOR'S WORK PUBLISHED
The October issue of the Foreign Service Journal, the professional
magazine of America's career diplomats, contains an article by Dr.
William F. Sheppard of Winston-Salem State University. Entitled "The
New Diplomacy is 100 Years Old," the article refers to current State
Department efforts to reform the Foreign Service of the United States.
It points out that many of the problems being addressed by today's
reformers, along with the solutions they propose, are basically similar
to those encountered by committees of the British House of Commons
while reforming their diplomatic service in the middle of the 19th
century.
Professor Sheppard has an unusual background for an academician.
In 1947 he dropped out of high school after the 10th grade and enlisted
in the U. S. Marine Corps, where he began to attend college classes
at night in 1957, and over the next ten years earned his B.A. from the
University of Maryland and a M.A. from California State College at
Fullerton, California.
Dr. Sheppard, an associate professor of history, joined .the faculty
at W.S.S.U. in September 1970 after taking his Ph.D. in diplomatic history at the University of Georgia. He is currently at work on a book
describing the 19th century foundations of 20th century reforms in
the British and American diplomatic services.

EDITORIAL
On the 26th of this month the
North Carolina legislature will vote
on a vital educational issue. The
issue concerns the proposal by
Governor Scott to consolidate all
of the state institutions under one
board of regents.
Due to the lack of interest by
Black parents and students, the
proposal will probably be passed.
If passed, the future of the five
Black state institutions is definitely
in doubt.
One possibility is the merging of
the Black institutions with the larger predominantly White institutions in their immediate areas. An
example of this particular merger
would be North Carolina A&T
"united" with the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro.
Many individuals are under the
impression that the consolidation
proposal is the best move for
higher education in North Carolina.
On paper the proposal definitely
looks ideal, but when placed into
action the proposal spells disaster.
It sounds beautiful to hear that the
proposal will extend Black institutions' budgets, but how much reality is actually in this? Do you
honestly believe that NCCU, Fayetteville State, W.S.S.U., and the
others will receive adequate funds
PROFILE OF A PROFESSOR
One of the newest members of
the W.S.S.U. family is Mr. Percy
E. Murray, a recent graduate of
North Carolina Central University.
He holds a Masters Degree in history with special emphasis on
Afro-American history.
In a recent interview, Mr. Murray voiced his opinions on the Black
studies program. He stated that
the program in Black studies is
not what it should be, but new
courses in the area are continually
being provided. In addition, he
hopes that students do not enroll
in them because "it's the thing
to do" but as a part of "their
total educational program."
Mr. Murray feels that Black
studies to the student should be
"about developing a more effective
educational program, one that is
open to all points of view and
meets the needs of all individuals,
and it should not be instituted at
the expense of intellectual objectivity nor academic standards." He
further hopes that as a student
takes a course in Afro-American
history he would become aware of
the numerous contributions made
"to the total American experience
by Afro-Americans."
On a broader level, community
rather than campus, Mr. Murray
discussed .the concepts of various
groups in the Winston-Salem area.
Because he is new to the community, he did not feel that he could
speak factually on the subject.
However, Mr. Murray did state that
if there are Panthers, Muslims,
segregationists, and integrationists
in the community, "students should
be exposed to their concepts in order that they may become informed citizens: .the ideologies of different groups should be presented

find it hard to visualize how these
officials will make unbiased appropriations.
Naturally no one should expect
the budget of Winston-Salem State
to be equal to that of UNC at
Chapel Hill. Because of the size
of the two institutions UNC must
have a larger budget. I fail to see,
why UNC's Health Affairs budget
is 27 million dollars more than our
entire budget of 4 million dollars!
A difference in enrollment is easily
seen but a 27 million dollar difference between an entire budget
and a program is ridiculous.
Some individuals don't believe
the proprosal will eventually phase
out the Black institutions. There
are no definite statements in
the proposal that points directly to "phasing out". There
are however a number of ways to
phase an institution out. Without

Forgotten??
This University is blessed with a
variety of activities. There are
great parties, dances, movies, organizations, and clubs on campus.
To say our social life is "fairly
decent" is an understatement. Yet,
there are those of us who are content to let this be the whole of
our campus life. We neglect the
religious phase of our lives and
our obligation to serve God.
We arise on Sunday mornings
with everything on our minds except the thought of attending one
of the many churches which surround our campus. Many students
seem to be ashamed of going to
church. Those who are should
remember that Christ said, "If
you are ashamed of me . . ."

W.S.S.U.
Revisited 1978
The time is the year 1978. The
place, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The occasion, Homecoming.
The student body, now totaling
some 25,000 students, is hustling
about, finishing tests, hitchhiking to
town, standing on the block, etc.
The parking lots are jammed with
bright red and blue sports cars,
many are dissipating into the western skies casting a yellowish hue
over this cool fall afternoon.
Walking briskly across campus,
I first noticed the college band
marching to the tune of Credence
Clearwater's latest hit, with ten
cheerleaders bouncing gleefully
about with skirttails flapping
around white calves. To the rear,
the Mighty Rams, donned in Red
and White clack helmets and
shoulder pads, are getting ready
for the big homecoming game with
the University of North Carolina
(Charlotte Campus). Former UNC
assistant coach John Doe beckons
James Crow, a lanky blonde kid
from Greenwood, Mississippi, to
the sideline. The sun glistens
brightly off Crow's bright red neck.
Two bsspeckled young lads with
bags of beer attempt to smuggle
their goods into Brown Hall under
the watchful eye of the elderly
white dorm matron. A shapely
little blonde trots into the gymnasium with hopes of purchasing
tickets to the big homecoming cabaret featuring none other than the
"Beach Boys".
Then I came across a sight that
made me stop dead in my tracks.
The fraternity and sorority plots
were no longer in existence. Their
replacement, a new dormitory labeled with large gold plated letters,
"Robert E. Lee" Memorial Hall.
Looking for some of my old
professors, I first decided to go
down to Coltrane Hall. The first
classroom I came to was filled with
lily white faces, and a spook who
sat by the door. On the second
floor I peered into a class of
about thirty whites and a sole
black. The "Colored" teacher rapped on relentlessly discussing "The
virtues of American slavery."
Leaving Coltrane somewhat in
dismay, I decided to visit Blair
Hall. During my trek in that direction, I stumbled across four
Confederate flags, was accosted by
six white security guards and was
almost seduced by three white coeds—all firm believers in the sexual myths of Negroes. Once in the
administration building, I was
made aware that The University of
North Carolina (formally W.S.S.U.)
was 99%% white. The five blacks,
all products of upper middle class
homes, were all concentrated in
one department—Sociology of the
Negro.
Governor Scott's 1971 proposal
concerning reorganizing North
Carolina Education was a complete success. The problem in
higher education was not solved.

There are those who have been

MISS LINCOLN COUNTY
Miss
Lincoln
County
Miss Bessie Foster, a sophomore
history major, is the new Miss
Lincoln County. The first Black
to win the title, she was selected
over nine other contestants. The
competition was not new to her,
however. In last year's contest,
Miss Foster emerged as 1st runnerup and Miss Congeniality."
A Lincolnton native, Miss Faster
is a graduate of East Lincoln
High School where she was voted
"Who's Who Among High School
Students in America." Active during her high school years, she continues to participate in community
and church activities.
Here at W.S.S.U., Miss Foster is
a member of the YWCA, Young
Americans Club, Social Science
Club, and Pegram Hall dormitory
council. She is also secretary of
the sophomore class and is presently reigning as Miss Alpha Phi
Omega.
Miss Foster feels that she is not
only representing Lincoln County
but W.S.S.U. as well.
