RALEIGH A speaker atShaw University told a studentaudience none of the advancesin the area of desegregationwould have been made had itnot been for the demonstra-tions and other actions of col-lege students in 1960.

Dr. Samuel D. Proctor, as-

sociate director of the U. S.Office of Economic Opportun-ity, said "There would be nocivil rights Act, voting rightsbill, integrated restaurants andhotels today ..." but for thecivil rights demonstrations of1959 and 1960."' Proctor said a whole newconcept in the area of educa-

and the Negro College hasdeveloped.

Speaking to the opening ses-sion of the two-day studentsymposium opening Shaw Uni-versity's Centennial Inaugural

Convocation, Proctor said, "de-ficits" still exist in the education Negroes have gotten andare still getting. He said theseare not "illusory or imaginarybut they are real."

He said these can be over-

come with effort and properinstruction.

Proctor commented on thestandarized tests which are re-quired by many schools for en-

trance and by many businessorganizations for employment.

"The tests may be loaded, butthey are loaded with the cul-ture and the facts you havegot to live with in today's so-ciety," he said.

He said the Negroes' biggestproblem is to understand thatthe educational deficit existsand that to compete in today'ssociety they must overcomethe gap that exists between thekind of education the Negro

gets and that which is receivedby the other segment.

Proctor listed three "needs"which Negroes must meet to beready for full participation inthe American life in its main-stream.

He said a new breed of teach-ers must be produced, teacherswho are dedicated and willing

to sacrifice to do the kind ofjob that is needed.

Secondly he said a new ad-See PROCTOR 2A
