Bibb, a long time resident of Augusta, recently contributed S3OOO to Paine College in memory of her late son, William Daniel Haynes. A friend of the College, Mr. Haynes was a graduate of Lucy Laney High School, where he had a strong interest in athletics. For this reason, his mother has arranged for a SIOOO Athletic Scholarship, named in his honor, to be awarded next school year to a Paine freshman. The remaining S2OOO was distributed in the following manner: $300.00 allocated to the Paine College Choir and $1700.00 as an un-restricted grant to the College. After Mrs. Bibb had made her dicision to make the contribution, she contacted Paine Alumni Director, John Q. Terry to handle the transaction. Said Mrs. Bibb, “I have decided to give William’s money to Paine College to be used in helping our young people prepare for living in our, now, very competitive society. I feel that my son would approve of this gesture, realizing full well that I may forego some comforts and probably necessities too, but I am willing to make this sacrifice in memory of my beloved son, William Daniel Haynes.” Mrs. Bibb also contributed N l( TOiM kitchens!

At a meeting this week, Campaign Chairman, Dr. Charles Butler commended his team of volunteers for the outstanding job that they are doing. Dr. Butler also expressed great satisfaction in the over-all support from Augusta businesses., churches, civic groups, educators and others. “With this kind of support, we can’t fail; as a matter of fact, it is my sincere hope that we will top our goal,” Dr. Butler concluded. PAINE WILL HONER DR. MAYS AT AUTOGRAPH PARTY w DR. BENJAMIN E. MAYS An autograph party in honor of Paine Trustee, Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, will be held at the College on Saturday, May 22. Dr. Mays will meet friends in room 2 of the Music Building. Published just two months ago, Born to Rebel tells of Dr. May’s life long struggle to overcome injustice and racism and of his extraordinary career as a churchman, author and educator, including serving 27 years as President of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. Considered a valuable history of black-white relations in this country over the past seventy years, Born to Rebel has received outstanding praise from prominent individuals and reviewers. Born in South Carolina in 1895, Benjamin E. Mays graduated with honors from Bates College in Maine, and received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago. He served as Dean of Religion at Howard University for six years and was active in religious and educational organizations. From 1940 to 1967 he was President of Morehouse College and upon retirement was elected President Emeritus. Among his many honors, Dr. Mays delivered the eulogy at Martin Luther King’s funeral; was the United States’ Representative at Pope John’s funeral; and was one of five outstanding clergymen honored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Dr. Mays was recently elected President of Atlanta’s Board of Education, the first Negro to hold that post. He is the author of numerous books and articles, and is an outstanding speaker who has delivered addresses in over 150 colleges, universities, and schools in the I U.S., as well as in nearly 300 I churches. Dr. Mays lives in Atlanta. TUNE-UP NOW FOR TOP PERFORMANCE PERRY'S SERVICE STATION 1 MMsW’ Rd - In Higher Education hwgia uwwene By Dr. DuPree Jordan, Jr. Several weeks ago now this column referred to the report issued the middle of January by the Association of American Colleges describing the startling speed with which the average American independent college and university plunged from the black to the red side of the accounting ledger. That detailed report was based upon the results of a questionnaire sent to 733 of the nation’s 762 private colleges and universities, and drew a rather dismal picture of the present plight of these institutions, and just as pessimistic a view of the projected future financial state of independent higher education in America. Several who read this column have commented that we must have made those statistics appear darker than they actually were. As a matter of fact, we did not depict them as being nearly as black as the report itself. Much Is Needed One of the college presidents who read the entire report said that he felt the general attitude of the complete study was reflected in the conclusion that “most colleges in the red are staying in the red and getting redder, while colleges in the black are generally growing grayer” .. . .The logical assumption from these circumstances is that things can only continue to deteriorate unless significant aid is forthcoming, and that rather soon.

Jellema, AAC Executive Associate and Research Director. His careful analysis of the questionnaires completed by colleges all over the country indicates real causes for grave concern. The country’s independent colleges, plagued by rising costs of instruction, construction, maintenance and security, have plunged deeper and deeper into debt during the decade of growing inflation and increased demands for more services. The statistics compiled in this study indicate that the “average” private college finished 1968 with a surplus of funds. Only a year later that “average” school was operating at a deficit, and that deficiency multiplied five times over during the next twelve months. By June of 1970, the “average” independent college and university in every geographical region of the nation was “firmly in the’ red.” Constructive Response One of many responses to these complicated and alarming conditions is the organization of state associations of independent colleges.

While the administrators on these campuses have been aware of their conditions for some time now, and have been wrestling earnestly with their problems, they now have the advantage of a growing number of student, alumni, friends and supporters who recognize the seriousness of the situation, and who are diligently looking for ways to help these colleges meet their problems and pay their bills. Georgia is typical of many other states in that a growing number of average citizens have expressed real concern about the future of high quality higher education in this state.

It all started when a silver haired banker said that “of all that is going on in the world today, the Olympic Games must stand out as about the cleanest, most wholesome, and most honest of activities which are deserving, but lack our all-out support.” The speaker was Ernest J. Young, Executive Director of Bank of America Traveler’s Cheques. The place was Miami. The occasion was a luncheon ...and the purpose was to an nounce the most unique way ever to raise funds for the U.S. Olympic Committee. The current U.S. Olympic Committee budget is $lO mil lion, the amount required if we are to field the caliber of teams of which the U.S. is capable. And the Committee’s need for this large sum is cru cial. For if anything less than $lO million is raised in the next two years, some of our athletes might not be able to compete in 1972. With those awesome figures and consequences in mind, Young formulated a plan that literally means that this coun try can bank on high Olympic hopes. Co-hosting a luncheon with Clifford H. Buck, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee and Arthur G. Lentz, the Com mittee’s executive director ... Lunborg announced his plan to a group including Olympic gold medal winners Jesse Owens and Johnny Weismuller. Deceptively simple, the plan calls for increasing the ante on an initial Bank of America contribution of SIOO,OOO by donating a percentage of the commission on each Bank of America travelers cheque sold between April, 1971 and September, 1972. As a result, people who purchase these blue-and-gold cheques will be making their own contribution the painless way. At no additional cost to themselves. A lot of people don’t know it, but the government offers no financial assistance to the U.S. teams. The Committee has to rely entirely on public contributions for funding. So the next time you travel, why not take along some tra velers cheques. For if you do America’s “best” will travel too!
