Students Find  Partially Eaten Chicken
Restaurant Receives Complaint
By Benjamin T. Forbes
Two A&T students reportedly
received unsanitary service from
a quick-service restaurant late
Monday.
Calvin Jackson stated that he
and a friend, Donell Kennedy,
bought a "snak pack" of chicken
from Robbins Kentucky Fried
Chicken on Bessemer Avenue.
After receiving the chicken,
Jackson said he returned to his
car and opened the box. He then
found a partially eaten piece of
chicken along with two uneaten
pieces.
Jackson said he returned to
the restaurant to get a refund or
another order. The manager,
Ceasar Tucker, according to
Jackson, then threatened him
with bodily harm.
Tuesday morning, Jackson
said he contacted the Greensboro
Health Service. He said he was
given the "run-around"
treatment. Later he was told lo
speak with officials at the
Environmental Protection
Agency.
Along with Lawrence
Munson, director of food
services, Jackson said they went
back to see Tucker to get an
explanation. Munson said that
Tucker did not want to discuss
the matter in his presence but
wanted to take Jackson in the
back of the building to discuss
the issue. «.
Thinking that violent actions
would erupt, Munson stated that,
if Jackson went, he would go
too. Munson and Jackson then
left the eating establishment .
When contacted by The
Register, Tucker stated that there
were many discrepancies in
Jackson's story. He first said that
at least a half hour elapsed
before Jackson returned with the
chicken.
Continuing he said he did not
give Jackson the refund because,
at that time of the night, the
, daily report had been made and
that he could not give back
Jackson's refund at that time.
When asked if he would give
Jackson a refund if he came
back, he stated, "I will give the
boy his refund."
Munson said that there have'
been instances where workerswere
seen eating in the cooking area.
Munson indicated that such
practices are not sanitary.
Jackson- said that he feels
students should boycott this
particular Kentucky Fried
Chicken franchise, to prevent
further incidents which might
occur.
By Maxine McNeill
I The boycotting of the
Tribunal is a very real and serious
happening.
Steve Allen, assistant to SGA
president, Ted Mangum, said that
Mangum called the boycott
because the Tribunal wasn't felt
to be fair. He said that the
boycott is to last until the
standard procedures are
emphasized so that students can
get fair trials.
Allen   continued,   "Ted   said
that he cannot go back and asked
students  not  to  go  until some
changes have been made."
Allen also said that, since the
student handbook and the
constitution are not in agreement
with each other, things are not
clear. He said because of that the
students on the Tribunal don't
know what's going on. AUen also
said there is no set procedure for
the operation ofthe courts.
Allen said that, because ofthe
condition of the student court,
an alternate was asked for. He
said that an Appeals Board was
suggested and instituted by Dr. J.
E. Marshall, vice chancellor for
student affairs. "A meeting of
this Appeals Board should be
held probably sometime next
week to resolve differences,"
added Allen.
He also said that Dr. Marshall
gave Ted Mangum his permission
to nominate five students to the
Board.
When asked if he thought the
court procedures were better at
the last trials, Alien said that
naturally they would be after the
meeting with Dr. Marshall but it
is not known whether or not the
students will continue to receive
a fair trial.
Report Cites Inadequacy
Of States Black Schools
RALEIGH AP -The University
of North Carolina system has
surveyed its nine nursing
programs and found the three at
predominantly Black schools
have had "consistently poor
results."
The report was submitted to
the UNC Board of Governors in
Greensboro today. It
recommends that the board
adopt as its top priority in
nursing the upgrading of
programs at A&T State
University, North Carolina
Central   University   in   Durham
Lightner Says Defeat
Cost   Citv $10 Million
and     Winston-Salem     State
University.
The report also called for
giving top priority to programs
to train nursing professors in
graduate schools. It said they
are in short supply.
In 1974, 21 of the 26 NCCU
graduates who took the state
licensing exam for nurses failed
as did 18 of the 29 from A&T
and 12 of the 20 from WSSU.
By contrast 41 of the 42 East
Carolina University graduates
who took the exam passed and 91
of 95 graduates of UNC-Chapel
Hill who took the exam passed.
City
RALEIGH AP- Mayor
Clarence E. Lightner says that his
recent defeat for reelection as
Raleigh's first Black mayor has
cost the city at least $10 million
in promised federal aid.
In an interview Lightner said
federal officials had told him of
the cancellation of informal
commitments   made   to  him   for
the city's antiblight Community
Developmnet Program, some
funding for the Raleigh-Durham
Airport and other programs.
He said the grants had not
been announced publicly but had
been  promised   to him privately
by federal officials. lie declined
to discuss specifics, saying, "It
would place some people on the
national level in an awkward
position."
Lightner said he also intends
to go to Washington soon in an
effort to get the federal officials
to change their minds and
reinstate the promised funds.
Lightner's comments came in
an .interview in which he
discussed his two years as mayor.
He repeatedly expressed
gratitude for being able to serve
the city six years as a councilman
and two years as mayor. _
The maintenance men have found a solution to the problem of the ever-falling leaves.
