Institute.
courts’ adverse decision,
and stated “the
Association will appeal
directly to the U.S.
Supreme Court. We are
certain that the court’s
ruling on liability would
not hold up when com
pared with the hard, solid
facts of the case. We
cannot accept the high
court’s decision on
liability and will persist
in our defense against
these charges in order to
circumvent the poten
tially damaging effect of
these findings on our civil
rights activities in the
future.”
The State Supreme
Court also found the $1.2
million damarge
judgment rendered by
the Chancery Court
excessive and remanded
it to the lower court for
further proceedings.
The Mississippi
Supreme Court did,
however, dismiss the
case against Mississippi

Poverty Head Start
Program in Mississippi

in the original lawsuit.
The original suit

citizens, claiming in their
lawsuit that the leaders of
the boycott conspired to
create an illegal

businesses. The Chan

County ruled in favor of
the white merchants
three years later.
NAACP Executive
Director Benjamin L.
Hooks said he was “both
saddened and extremely
disappointed upon
reviewing the evidence
and testimony the high
court alllowed during the
court proceedings. But
we must continue our
struggle to the next level

in order to achieve justice
not only for ourselves but
for other civil rights
groups and individuals
striving to eliminate
racial discrimination in
this country.”
Alumni Goal $50,000
The Paine College
Annual Alumni Fund goal
this year is $50,700, ac
cording to Charles Smith,
director of development.
The Augusta area
alumni clubs are again
by Melvin J. Hill,
president of Gulf Oil
Exploration and
Production Company,
based in Houston, Texas.
In making the
presentation, Hill said,
“Gulf is enthusiastic
about the grant and the
opportunity to provide
additional resources to
Tuskegee’s fine
engineering program.”
Dr. Foster said the
grant is "a splendid
investment in Tuskegee’s
work and one that will
enable us to advance our
School of Engineering in
a significant way.“ He
added that the en
dowment heralds “One of
the early highlights of
Tuskegee’s upcoming
Centennial Year.”
Founded in 1881,
Tuskegee will officially
commemorate its 100th
anniversary April 12,
1981. The Tuskegee
campus covers more than
1,300 acres. Current
enrollment is more than
3,700 students.

Another local
NAACP official,
Southeast Regional
Director Earl Shinhoster,
said “The outcome of this
decision is yet another
piece of evidence con
firming the growing
conservative attitudes
permeating this country
with respect to the rights
of Blacks and other
minorities. The Ku Klux
Klan can shoot citizens in
the streets and the courts
find them not guilty;
Black women in Chat
tanooga, Tennessee can
be shot and maimed and
the courts set the per
petrators free; and an
insurance executive in
Miami can be beaten to
death by city police of
ficials and the courts find
them not guilty-yet

role in the drive. Last
year, the Augusta Alumni
contributed $10,643 to the
fund to aid in exceeding

Nineteen Paine

New York, N.Y. will aid
in reaching the college’s
goal.

deceived a $17,500
challenge grant from the
William and Flora
Hewlett Foundation and
the Bush Foundation if
two conditions are met
this year. First the
college must meet its
monetary goal. Second,
100 first-time donors
must contribute to the
campaign for a total of
least 694 donors.
“This is the fifth and
final year that Paine
College will have a
challenge grant from the
Hewlett and Bush
Foundations,” Charles
Smith, director of
development, said. A
participating college
usually receives a series
of annual grants for at
least two years, but no
more than five, he said.
The Bush Foundation
of Saint Paul, Minn., is
predominantly regional.
A general-purpose
grantmaking foundation,
Bush approved grants
totaling 12.3 million in
1979.
