At  UNC—G
By HILLIARD B. HINES
A march was staged Saturday
afternoon in support of the Negro
candidates who seek public offices
in North Carolina in the November
elections. It was held pirmarily to
urge all Negroes and any other
people who desire a change in the
framework of the government of
this state to get out and vote in the
May 4 primary for these candidates
who will bring about these changes.
The marchers assembled at HoUand Bowl on the University campus, and marched to Douglas park
where the prospective candidates
made platform speeches to the
audience. Bryce Smith, student
government president of Dudley
High Sehool, presided over the
rally. An organizer of the march
stated before the audience that the
purpose of the raUy was to give
"all of us a chance to meet the
candidates and ask questions."
The candidates represented at the
rally were Dr. Reginald Hawkins,
Major Richard M. Lee, Mrs.
Alfreda Webb, Reverend Cecil
Bishop, and Attorney Henry Frye.
Dr. George Simkins, president of
the local chapter of the N. A. A. C.
P., spoke for Dr. Hawkins who was
at that time busy campaigning
elsewhere with Reverend Ralph
Abernathy, Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.'s successor to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
Dr. Simkins said of Dr. Hawkins,
'He has a program which wUl revitalize our state. . • . "He urged
all concerned people, whether they
be white or black, to "vote with
full vigor to tackle our problems."
He talked about the issues that Dr.
Hawkins is taking a stand on. Dr.
Simkins said that in his stand on
education, Dr. Hawkins said that
the greatest emphasis on education
should be placed upon chUdren
from kindergarten to the second
grade; Dr. Hawkins plans, if elected, to give a great deal of tfme to
improving employment situation
in North CaroUna and he hopes to
establish an equal employment
agency; he plans to provide for
much improved and more housing
in North Carolina and to raise pro
perty value from $1,728 to $3,000
which is the federal level. In his
stand on crime and equal employment justice, Dr. Hawkins wiU
"seek to eliminate slums and
ghettoes" and "guarantee and
demonstrate that race will not be
a factor in determination of employment."
Attorney Henry Frye said in his
speech before the audience, "This
gathering signifies what is part of
a new image of Negroes in North
Carolina ....
Following Frye's speech, he was
asked, "What are your views on
lowering of voting age from
twenty-one to eighteen?" He replied, "It will be good to lower it
(voting age) ... but not to age
eighteen . . . should be lowered to
twenty." Immediately another
question was fired at him,"Would
you favor a compromise that would
raise the draft age to twenty and
lower the voting age to twenty?"
Attorney Frye only smiled and replied, "Yes."

Biology here at A&T, then delivered

She said, "1 am concerned about

parents and teachers. She said that

At  UNC—G !
SCORE Endorses Dr. Reginald Hawkins And John Stickley
Editor's Note: The foUowing endorsement was announced by the
Student Committee for Research
and Evaluation at UNC-G.
We, the member of the Student
Committee Organized for Research
and Evaluation, are pleased to announce our endorsement of Dr. Reginald Hawkins for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination.
We cite the foUowing positions
taken by Dr. Hawkins as determinates in our endorsement:
We concur with Dr. Hawkins'
suggestion to estabUsh a Board of
Education Commission whose function would be to coordinate the various activities of the pubUc education systems of North CaroUna.
We strongly favor better distribution of institutions of higher education so as to be of the greatest
service to the greatest number oi
people. Dr. Hawkins ". . . wUl bend
every effort to have the most feasible institutions located at points
where they can be of maximum
service."
We are in accord with Dr. Hawkins when he states "... that the
various boards of higher education
in North CaroUna . . . wUl have
as empowered members representatives of both students and faculties
from   aU  educational  levels",   for
along with him we are ". . . gravely
concerned about the smaU amount
of active participation aUowed our
teachers and students in the educational decision-making processes."
We advocate Dr. Hawkins' stand
which proposes ''the appointment of
a commission, operating independently from any state-supported
institution and any governing
agency, whose tasks will include
the evaluation of current educational goals, curricula, outputs,
and future plans, and the sharing
of their findings and recommendations with the office of the governor and aU interested parties."
We firmly support the proposal
for "developing one or more experimental coUeges, especiaUy for
the culturally deprived and disadvantaged."
Realizing the importance of obtaining all necessary funds for
raising the standard of higher education in this state, we hold in
prime consideration Dr. Hawkins'
stand to obtain additional educational funds from taxes on tobacco
and liquor. Therefore, along with
Dr. Hawkins, "Let us also smoke
and drink for education in North
CaroUna, if we must smoke and
drink in any case!"
Having studied in detaU the edu
cational platforms of each of the
Democratic candidates, we feel that
our endorsement of Dr. Hawkins is
in the best interests of higher education in this state. As Dr. Hawkins
so aptly put it "... in the future,
if W. Lloyd Warner were to ask
'Who shall be educated?', our response would be ALL."
We wish to make clear that this
endorsement reflects only the concensus of the members of the Student Committee Organized for Research and Evaluation and is in no
way intended to represent the opinions and beUefs of the University
Administration, the Student Government, the faculty or the student
body.
Speaking for and in concensus
with the Committee, we reiterate
our endorsement of Dr. Reginald
Hawkins for the Democratic nomination for Governor of North CaroUna.
JOHN L. STICKLEY
We, the members of the Student
Committee Organized for Research
and Evaluation, are pleased to announce our endorsement of Mr.
John L. Stickley for the RepubUcan
gubernatorial nomination.
We cite the following criteria as
determinates in our selection of
Mr. Stickley:
We firmly support the principle
of open access as stated in Mr.
Stickley's address of March 29,
1968 in which he said, "The basic
principle underlying our system of
higher education is that of open access, which provides that every
boy and girl finishing secondary
school in North CaroUna has a
right to higher education."
We are aware that not aU high
school graduates have university
potential; however, this should not
exclude them from post high school
level education. We concur with
Mr. Stickley  when he   stated  that
"We must realize alongside the
principle of open access stands a
unified system of higher education
with institutions of vastly different
types. . . ."
Realizing the increased emphasis
placed upon institutions below the
ConsoUdated University level, such
as vocational and technical training
centers, junior and community
colleges, to meet these future needs
". . . wiU demand diversity within
the system to fUl the varied needs
of the state, industry, commerce
and of all society."
We are in accord with Mr. Stick-
ley's proposal to take the Board
of Trustees out of the realm of
poUtics.
Recognizing the critical need for
qualified teacher in rural areas of
North Carolina, we along with Mr.
Stickley, advocate what is in essence scholarships for prospective
teachers who agree to teach in these
areas.
We believe that Mr. Stickley's
experience as past-President and
current member of the Board of
Trustees of Wingate College gives
him a first hand insight into the
problems confronting higher education in this state. We have based
our endorsement of Mr. Stickley
primarily upon his stand on higher
education a subject which affects
us directly.
We wfsh to make it clear that
this endorsement reflects only the
concensus of the members of the
Student Committee -Organized for
Research and Evaluation and is in
no way intended to represent the
opinions and beliefs of the University Administration, the Student
Government, the faculty, or the
student body.
Speaking for and in concensus
with the Committee, we reiterate
our endorsement of Mr. John L.
Stickley for the RepubUcan nomination for Governor of North Carolina.
