Page 2 The Register December 14, 1967 An Humble Reply

Concerning the rumors, threats, and lies about the REGISTER that have been distributed by a certain group (which doesn't even measure up to be considered true BLACK POWER advo­ cates), I have this to say: First, I am delighted to know that I can put a few words together that can bring on such an explosive effect. My ego has twice doubled itself to think that no one among that certain group either has the nerve or the intelligence to write a letter ex­ plaining their views. It does my soul good to see them walk around and "pout" about how wrong The REGISTER is to the few friends who will listen. Perhaps I have been wrong about A&T students. I have argued in their defense that they should not be babied, but rather, approached just as any college students are. So in my editorials, I have refrained from telling students what they should not do. I have attempted to approach them with in-depth reasoning, subtle explanations, indirect reasoning, and even with a bit of wit, but never to simply say students should feel or do, this or that about any one issue. It would be much easier for me to write "Keep-off - the-Grass" editorials, but the average college student would con­ sider the same an insult to his intelligence. Let it be understood, I will not lower myself or this news­ paper to write with the vulgar expressions used by Fuller and others. Nor will we print letters containing such vulgar expres­ sions. Students whose intelligence falls so low that they can't understand anything unless it is expressed in vulgar language need desperate help.
