The upward spiral in the
.--overall growth chart for the
Orsenville ai'ea will no doubt
surge even more as a result of
the anticipated impact of the
new hospital and medical school
on the local economy.
While projections and predic
tions regarding the potential ex
tent of the impact vary from per
son to person, several facts are
avaUable now that point to the
im m ediate and future im
portance of the medical situation
in the community.
An $8,5 million annual payroll
is already being computed at
Pitt Memorial Hospitd for an
employee force of some 825, ac
c o rd in g to h o sp ita l a d
ministrator Jack Richardson.
Staff is available to serve 250 of
tile hospital’s 370 beds now,
Richardson reported.
When the i^maining 120 beds
are made available according to
patient needs, the number of
employees necessary to staff the
additional beds wUi increase.
Full utilization of the 370 beds
will mean an employee staff of
over 1,100, he said, earning an
economy-affecting payroll of
somellSmiliion.
On the medical school side of
the coin, salaries and wages for
the current budget year, running
from July 1 to June 30,1978, will
amount to $3.9 million, stated
Dr. Dean Hayefc, director of ad
missions for the medical school.
Hayek said that for the fiscal
year Just ended on June 20,
salaries and wages for medical
school personnel amounted to
some $1,8 million.
A safe assumption would be
that the payrolls of both the
ho^ ita l and medical school will
increase in the years to come
and the subsequent economical
impact will be reflected in the
salary advancements.
Construction of the new
medical facilities has already
meant a substantial number of
jobs and as the complex
develops, both from the hospital
and medical school standpoint,
construction employment will be
struction of the medical com
plex.
The hospital represents some
$24 million in overall costs and
P itt Memorial pays an insurance
bill of $90,000 compared with
$32,000 at the old facility. The S24
million in assets compares with
$5 million a t the old hospital,
Richardson pointed out.
Operating costs at the new
hospital ran approxim ately
$34,000 per day in the early days
of occupancy while revenues of
$40,000 to $45,000 per day were
projected to meet expenses.
Operatiiig expenses a t the
m edical school for 1976-77
amounted to $1.7 million, Hayek
reported, and $2.5 million is pro
jected for the current fiscal
year.
The medical school additions
a t the hospital, including
e m e r g e n c y , r a d io l o g y ,
operating areas, storage, dining
area, psychiatry section, and the
front additions to the complex,
cost r o u ^ y $5.1 million. Equip
ment for the various areas of the
hospital for patient care ac
tivities will push the overall total
cost to close to $6,5 million.
The total cost does not in
clude the muiti-million dollar
medical science building that
will be constructed on land
north of theho^ital.
The economy will be affected
by the tax revenues generated
by the new facilities and tax
values in the area will also
change as the tax b ^ grows.
Development of the area
a ro u n d the h o sp ita l and
medical school will place in
creased demands on local ser
vices, including utilities, police,
fire and transit and the cost oi
added services could mean ad
justments in the local tax rate.
P ro p e rty va lues in the
medical area no doubt will
escalate as the development
continues in the years to come.
People have a great impact
on the economy and beyond the
projected employment figures
for the hospital and medical
school and the expec ted
number of students, doctors
and other personnel in the next
eoi^Ie of years, it is specula
tion a s to just how many people
will come to Greenville as a
result of the new medical
faculties.
Currently, approximately 115
to 120 people are employed at
the medical school. Of the total,
51 are faculty members.
This fail, 23 students are
enroUed in the medical pro
gram and 1978 will see an addi
tional 32 medical students. The
figure will increase by another
32 in 1979, according to Hayek,
and the freshman class in 1980
will have at least 32 for an
overall total at that time of
some 124 students.
He explained that with the
beginning of residency pro
g r a m s in p e d i a t r i c s ,
psychiatry, internal medicine,
obstetrics and gynecology, and
surgery, the personnel figures
involved in the medical school
will increase by two or three
times. Most of the residents
have famUies and that adds to
the potential number of people
The number of the new peo-
pie will also be increased by the
add ition of post doctora l
students and ail departments
will be adding personnel as the
various programs are establish
ed a t the medical school.
The university hopes to be
able to implement the Ph.D
training program in 19’̂ , the
admissions official pointed oqt,
and that will mean more
As th e hosp ital-m edical
school becomes more and more
of a regional center for health
care, patients will be referred
here, Richardson said, and
their stays here will vary ac
cording to their medical needs.
In many instances, patients’
families will need to stay here
for varying lengths of time and
they must be accomodated.
Development of the medical
school will also mean con
ferences, visits by medical per-
sonel and various people who
will attend meetings a t the new
faculty.
Richardson also mentioned
the probabUity of service com
panies and medical si^pliers
locating here and specialty
firms might tend to pick Green-
vUle as a site as a result of the
health care program.
The hospital currently has
over 100 doctors bh its staff
the continued increase in the
number of doctors wUI have a
major impact on the economy
in term s of salary. The hospital
had 32 doctors on its staff in
1966, the administrator recall
ed.
The potential influx of new
citizens, whether temporary or
permanent, will affect the hous
ing market and create new
home construction and owner
ship, jiecessitatc the develop
ment of new apartments, and
generally create a need for in
creased services such as enter
tainment, restaurants, banks,
m o te ls , and re c re a t io n a l
faculties, among other things.
All of the factors relating to
the new medical complex point
to increased busmess volume
for the area.
Neighboring towns should
also feel the ecc'nr'mJc impact
of the hospital and medical
school in terms- of business
volume and new citizens.
Dr. William Laupus, Dean of
t h e c h o o
a c k n o w le d g e d th a t th e
economic impact of the health
ce.nter is hard to measure but
he predicted that in three or
four years, the dollar impact
may be in the $25 mUIion per
year category.
The economy wUI be affected.
To wrist extent, everyone has
the opportunity to envision and
speculate.

K Medical education “ away
^ from the ivory tower” of the
U state 's medical schools Is the
^ reasoning behind the North
^ Carolina Area Health Education
< Center (AHEC) program, ac-
'"^cording to Dr. Simmons Patter
son, executive direc tor of
Eastern AflEC.
The overall goal of Eastern
AHEC is “ to improve the quanti
ty, quality and distribution both
geographically and by specialty
of all types of health manpower
in our region,” Dr. Patterson
said. This Includes doctors,
nurses, dentists and those in the
allied health fields.
Eastern AHIilC is one of nine
AHEC programs in the state.
Geographically, it is the largest,
encompassing 23 counties in nor
theastern North Carolina. The
program works with IG com
munity hospitals and 11 com
munity colleges and technical In
stitutes In this area.
! The Eastern region includes
iNortlihampton, Bertie, Martin,
I'^ill, Greene, Wayne, Lenoir,
./ones and Onslow Counties, and
all counties cast of tliose. The
h'ospilals Included in the region
'Jrc Craven County, Lenoir
ftlem orlal, P i tt M emorial,
Wayne Memorial, Albemarle,
B eaufort County, Chowan^
C iartere t G eneral, Onslow
Memorial, Roanoke-Chowan,
B|et'tie County, Martin General,
p'lmgo District, Sea Level, Tyr-
rdil County and Washington
C(>unty.
jThe roots of the North
Carolina AHEC program go
back to the 1960s when a medical
education program was initiated
between several community
hospitals in the state and the
University of North Carolina
(UNO Medical School to set up
intenfslnp programs for fourth-
year medical students.
In 1969, the state General
Assembly first allocated funds to
the UNC School of Medicine for
the development of graduate and
undergraduate medical educa
tion in these affiliated hospitals.
One of the biggest boosts in
getting a full-scale AHEC pro
gram underw ay in North
Carolina, according to Dr. Pat
terson, was the release in 1970 of
a report by the Carnegie Com
mission on Higher Education.
This report was an extensive in
vestigative effort to determine
the medical needs of the nation
and It reached several conclu
sions:
• There was a lack of primary
health care manpower, In
cluding family practice physi
cians, pediatricians, doctors of
internal medicine and obstetri
cians and gynecologists.
• The nation’s poo! of health
manpower was dedcficlent In
both its quantity and distribu
tion. Doctors were not evenly
divided throughout the country.
• Attention to the maintenance
of the level of knowledge of prac
ticing health professionals was
often neglected. Doctors, nurses
and others in the health field
were not adequately keeping up
with advancements In their
fields.
• Appropriate practical inter
relationships between various
types of health manpower was
. lacking. A communication gap
existed between the various
health care fields.
The Carnegie Report was the
origin of the term “AHEC” and
it suggested the use of existing
community hospital facilities for
clinical teaching purposes. It led
to Iho enactment of a federal
program which, in 1972, granted
$8.5 million to each of 11 medical
schools around the nation. UNC
was one of these schools.
With this five-year grant, UNC
developed three AHECs, in
Charlotte, Wilmington and Area
L, which includes Tarboro,
Rocky Mount, Wilson and
Roanoke Rapids.
In 1973, a group of medical
consultants studied llie AHEC
program which had been set up
by UNC and recommended to
the Board of Governors of UNC
that AHEC be expanded. This
recommendation was adopted
by the Board of Governors and
sent to the General Assembly
which, In April of 1974, ap
propriated $28.2 million to
strengthen and expand the North
Carolina AHEC program.
This money was used to set up
the existing nine AHECs and In
cluded $23.5 million for construc
tion or renovation of health
education facilities and $4.7
million for program operations
and the development of new
primary care medical residency
programs.
The General AsHombly ap
propriated additional funds in
1975 for program appreciation.
In that year, $2.8 million was
allocated for AHEC.
In 1977, the American College
of Physicians cited the North
Carolina AHEC program as the
model for similar programs
throughout the United States.
The Eastern AHEC, winch Is
based in Greenville, was the last
of the nine North Carolina
AHECs to be set up.
In the fall of 1974, according to
Dr. Patterson, a meeting was
held to elect the board of direc
tors and sot up coinmiltccs for
Eastern AHEC. The board Is
comprised of representatives
from participating hospitals,
health care fields, community
colleges and technical institutes.
The committees appointed
made studios of the area, Dr.
Patterson said, in order to deter
mine its needs and set up pro
grams to meet those needs. All
of these programs were set s:p
with the main goat in mind: to
Improve the quantity, quality
and distribution of health man
power in the area.
Nine fundamental goals, and
programs to realize llicm, were
decided upon:
• Develop a Family Practice
Residency Program for the
training of physicians in family
practice, Including a rotation
p rog ram through selected
hospitals In the Eastern AHEC
region.
This family practice program
has already attained accredlla-
tion and the first clas.s was ad
mitted in July. It was funded by
CConllfiuaionpage 4/
AHEC and is being administered
by the E ast Carolina University
(ECU) Sdiool of Medicine.
• Develop training rotation for
students in all health dlciplines
througli community hospitals,
phy.sidans’ offices aJid clinics in
the region as part of medical
education curriculum.
Medical students are already
involved in this rotation, in
cluding nursing and allied health
students from East Carolina and
medical, pharmacy, dental and
public hcalUi students from the
University of North Carolina.
• Plan, promote and supervise
continuing education programs
by means of lectures, sym-.
p0!3iums and workshops in all
^sciplines of health care.
These programs, many inter-
di-sciplinary In nature, are plan
ned about a year in advance. Dr.
Pi'itterson said, and are designed
help doctors, nurses and
•flf.hers in the healtli care field
abreast of changes In thefr
professions. Programs are held
in the hospitals to Insure max
imum participation throu^i con
venience and speakem come
from both medical schools and
private practice.
• Support and assist in the
development of a Family Nurse
Practitioner program.
Tills program has been set up
through ECU!s Scliool of Nurs
ing and is a one-year course for
experienced nurses.
• Offer technical assistance in
the development, upgrading and
m a in te n a n c e of h o sp ita l
libraries.
A lib ra ry technician is
employed by Eastern AHEC to
visit the 16 different par
ticipating hospitals and offer ad-
rice and assistance for improv
ing their libraries.
• Offer iedinical assistance
md consultallon lo licallh care
jersonijcl.
Eastern AHEC is involved In a
problem-solving program for the
health services. For example, if
a hospital had a hard time staff
ing its intensive care unit.
Eastern AHEC would offer sug
gestions as to how good intensive
care nurses could be trained.
• Assist health care agencies
in delivering quality educational
programs to meet community
needs.
The needs of the area arc
focused upon in developing in-
house hospital programs to im
prove health care.
. • Allocate funds and offer
technical assistance for the plan
ning and construction of addi
tions, renovations or alterations
of community hospitals for
educational purposes.
These improvements include
such things as conference
rooms, classrooms, on-call
booms for students lo sleep in
while training, libraries ajid of
fices for in-service education
directors.
To date, facilities have been
com pleted in New Bern,
K inston , E liz ab e th C ity,
Washington, Plymouth, Wind
sor, Belhaven and Goldsboro.
Similar facilities are nearing
com pletion In G reenville,
Alioskie, Edenton, Morhead Ci
ty, Columbia and Jacksonville.
Financial assistance has also
been given for llie construction
of an educational component of
the Aurora Medical Center.
This construction is funded by
the $23.5 million appropriated by
the General Assembly in 1974 for
constniction or renovation of
health education faculties.
• Allocate audio-visual equip
ment and services to all
hospitals in the,region and some
rural health centers;
Audio-visual packages have
been provided to all the af
filiated hospitals, including
slides, films and projectors and
a full-time audio-visual employe
is available to assist in the use of
tills equipment.
Riglit now. UNC Is the domi
nant medical sdiool in the
' Eastern AHEC programs, but
Dr, Patterson said there is “no
doubt in my mind that the ECU
School of Medicine wiJ! be the
, dominantschoolasitdcVelops.”
! In the past couple of years, the
1 number of doctors in this part of
! the state has increased and Dr.
I Patterson said, “We hope that
I Eastern AHEC has had a lot to
; do with the increase.”
j The state’s outstanding AHEC
program is “a great enticement
! for docloi’6 to come to North
Carolina,” Dr. Patterson said.
, "I wish the heck- they had had It
’ w henlwas coming along.”

CONSULTANT ASSIGNMENT - SUMMER 1978
Description of Tasks and Report
Within the framework of a national effort to assure quality
vocational education and training programs for minority youth,
the Legal Defense Fund has developed a North Carolina Project.
Beginning in the spring of 1977, Robert Valder provided staff
assistance to the Citizens Committee on the Five Year North
Carolina State Vocational Education Plan. This Committee
monitored the development of the state plan that North Carolina
filed with the U.S. Office of Education (USOE) pursuant to the
Vocational Education Act of 1976 (VEA) and submitted comments
to state officials on substantive deficiencies in the Plan, as
well as inadequacies in the planning process.
We are now ready to institutionalize our concerns, i.e,, to
fight for structures in North Carolina that will assure access
by minorities to the training programs which are essential to
full participation in the economic life of the state. To
promote this objective we will be engaged in implementing
strategies simultaneously at the Federal, state and local levels.
The major activity in this new phase will be the filing of a
Federal complaint in which we will charge that USOE approved
a plan from North Carolina which violates specific mandates of
VEA. This will be one of a series of complaints through which
we will seek initially to impact on USOE’s performance and
eventually to seek Congressional remedies for weaknesses in the
current legislation. After filing the complaint, we will be
engaged in efforts in Washington and in North Carolina to bring
the state into compliance with the law, as well as with new
Contributions are deductible for U.S. income tax purposes

administrative regulations that will be promulgated pursuant
to the consent order affecting the vocational education aspects
of Adams v. Califano.
The objective of the grassroots project, to be launched in the
fall in selected counties in Eastern North Carolina, will be to
mobilize citizens in a comprehensive effort to enhance the eco
nomic status of blacks by challenging discrimination in vocational
and training programs. We have chosen to focus on the eastern
region for the following reasons:
1. It contains a large number of counties that are
heavily black and poor and where blacks are eager
to secure economic advantages from their potentially
powerful political base.
2. We are convinced that an attack on poverty and lack
of opportunity in nonmetropolitan areas of the South
could reach blacks whose needs are largely bypassed
in national strategies and is key to the enhancement
nationally of the economic status of blacks.
3. An economy of effort could be achieved if projects
with clearly defined educational objectives are
"piggy-backed" on to larger economic development
plans. Action projects which exemplify a targeted
focus on areas of emerging economic opportunity offer
more promise for nonmetropolitan areas than generalized
projects.
Your assignment, broadly defined, will be to review vocational
education and training programs - and planning for them - within
the larger context of planning for long-range economic develop
ment and projections for manpower in Eastern North Carolina.
The specific information and insights which you will gather for
us will strengthen our complaint and provide the knowledge base
on which we will develop our community action project. The
following is a description of the reports which we will expect
to receive from you by the end of the summer.
I . The first draft of the complaint that LDF and the Citizens'
Committee will submit to the U.S. Office of Education
Information and instruction which you will need will
come from the following sources:
1, Before he leaves on vacation. Bob Valder will turn
over to you the appropriate documents from his file
and will brief you on developments.
Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978
The Citizens' Committee will play a major role
in determining the issues which should be addressed
in the complaint and the message which the complaint
should communicate. Bob will brief you on the com
mittee’s thinking to date and will create a process
which will enable you to maintain a relationship
with key committee members in his absence, if they
have assignments which should be turned over to you.
Visits to agencies which Bob will specify will fill
in gaps of information. Since committee members
have had sessions with officials of many agencies,
you will not be expected to go over that ground again.
The purpose of your visits will be to document our
charge that the North Carolina Plan does not reflect,
or build in, coordination with key agencies whose
involvement is essential for an effective, long-range
effort to restructure vocational education pursuant
to the 1976 Act. Bob had mentioned Employment
Security Commission, Apprenticeship Division, CETA,
and industrial training in the Community College
System. However, visits may not be required if new
information is not needed.
4, Some of the information which you will be compiling
under II below will be relevant to the complaint.
5. When Phyllis McClure returns from vacation early in
July, she will arrange to visit you in Raleigh to
prepare with you the outline which you should follow
in drafting the complaint. Mike Smith should also
be involved in that session, at least for part of
the time, since he will be preparing the chapter on
funding,
B. This first draft should be ready by August 1. This will
give Phyllis and Bob a chance to review it prior to a
meeting with the Citizens' Committee which they may wish
to schedule before you leave for vacation on August 13.
Report on new, emerging and expanding areas of economic acti
vity in Eastern North Carolina that should influence decisions
re the conceptualization, location, launching and implementa
tion of training programs. What are the prospects for new
job opportunities in the ’80s that should shape training
programs today? This report should cover new and/or expanding
industries and service institutions (we have a special inter
est in East Carolina University as an employer) and public
Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978
works projects. In the final report Bob will add a chapter
on public and private employers involved as defendants in
employment discrimination litigation and the prospects for
court-orders mandating affirmative steps to increase the
hiring and upgrading of minorities.
A. The report should address the following kinds of questions:
1. What is the relative economic status of Eastern
North Carolina today and what priority does it
have in the state's overall planning and projec
tions for economic growth? Are the poor of the
Eastern counties to be "rehabilitated in place"
through development programs, or is outmigration
the official solution for their poverty?
2. What are the key areas for growth and what kinds
of economic activities are projected? We would
like as full a list as possible of new and ex
panding industries and public works projects.
We are also interested in the economic dimension
and employment implications of the expansion of
service institutions like East Carolina University
and its network of area health education centers.
3. What are the manpower implications of the above,
i.e., new kinds of skills needed; and whether
skilled manpower is already available or will have
to be imported or trained? How does the education
establishment relate significantly to economic
development in an area which has for generations
manifested patterns of economic distress that
impact disproportionately on blacks?
4. Cast of characters: agencies, officials, public
and private who are making key decisions re economic
development, manpower, training.
5. Resources available to black citizens who are trying
to understand and relate to the larger economic de
velopment scene and to set their own program ob
jectives within this context. Are the think-tanks,
research institutes, universities, public service
programs, etc., in North Carolina available to
blacks who are ready to take a long look ahead
and take steps now that could assure that today's
youth are getting the training for tomorrow's jobs?
B. Suggested interviews, contacts, sources of information,
studies, data:

in the Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development
2. Department of Administration

7. A-95 Clearinghouse
8. State Manpower Services Council
9. State Occupational Information Coordination Council
10. Institute for Research in the Social Sciences
11. Councils of Government
12. Department of Commerce
C. We would like to have this report around Labor Day. I
suggest that you draft reports of agency visits and indivi
dual interviews and analyze materials promptly although
you may wish to wait to have the final version typed as
you prepare your consultant's report. (I find that I
often go back and edit a visit report when later infor
mation confirms or challenges my first insights.) Phyllis
will want to review your reports to date when she visits
you in July. Before you go on vacation August 13 Bob
will want to see them and to discuss with you the outline
of your report which you could finish when you return.
Actually, the final report could be a series of interview/
visit reports with a long overview chapter which summarizes
whatever research you have discovered, along with your
findings.
III. Memorandum to this Division with recommendations for targets.
Whereas Report TI should be factual and analytical and a
summary of what you have learned from your research and
from others, we would welcome your personal observations
and recommendations based on your knowledge of the state,
the resistances within certain bureaucracies and the urgent
Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978
needs of black folks. By early fall we will have to
decide where to concentrate our efforts in Eastern
North Carolina. With very modest resources, where can
we make a difference? What criteria should we use as
we select areas for grassroots activity? What should
be the nature and scope of state level work to back up
our local community action projects?

The soup^s on

Campbell says
t By BRUCE SICELO FF
MAXTON — C am pbell Soup Co. officials fo rm ally a n
nounced Monday th a t construction has begun on a food
distribu tion c en te r n e a r he re th a t is expected to be fol
lowed by a soup production plan t em ploying a s m any as
1,100 pe rsons by 1986.
H arold A. Shaub, C am pbell presiden t, told 200 luncheon
guests he re th a t the soup p lan t would add a n e stim a te d $50
m illion annually to the econom ies of Robesoo,-Scotland and
H oke counties. He said the p lan t would use a s much locally
grown produce as possible.
Gov. J a m e s B. Hunt J r . sa id the Cam pbell p lan t would
help -dissuade young residen ts of the th ree-county a re a
from leaving hom e to find jobs in cities.
“ T his distribution-production facility is going to change
this a re a — for the b e tte r .” H unt said. “ I t will u ltim ately
m ean about 1,100 m ore jobs, with a c ap ita l investm ent of
$250 million. And th a t’s ju s t the surface benefit. T here will
be m ore new houses built, and b e tter paychecks c om ing in,
and a b e tte r quality of life for people in these counties
h e re .”
Shaub said 65 persons would be em ployed a t the 250,000-
square-foot distribu tion cen te r th a t, by early 1979, would
begin distribu ting a v a rie ty of Cam pbell p roducts through
out the Southeast. Construction a lready has begun on the
340-acre site tw o m iles north of M axton on the L um ber
R iver.
M axton is in w estern Robeson County, six m iles from the
Scotland County s e a t of Laurinburg,
b a r r in g ano ther recession, Shaub said, Cam pbell will
begin construction a t the sam e site in the ea r ly 1980s on i t s '
six th soup production and canning p lan t, a planned one-
m illion-square-foot facility . He said the firm recen tly ex
erc ised an option to buy an additional 731 a c res tha t would
be used for w aste trea tm en t.
Shaub said C am pbell officidls scouted four o the r s ta te s
and 47 o ther N orth C arolina sites before choosing the
"Maxton location. The soup p lan t will use up to one m illion
gallons of w ater per day , and Cam pbell officia ls said they
chose M axton pa rtly b e m u se they needed a la rg e a re a with
sandy soil and a low w a te r ta b le to accopin iodate the ir
spray-irrigation m ethod of w aste disposal.
A fter liquid b iodegradable w astes a re sprayed on th e .
'~ land and vegeta tion, Shaub said, “ we can deliver to the
s tre am w a te r w ith a b e tte r quality than the w ater
u p s tre am .”
C am pbell Soup Co., based in Cam den, N .J ., and its
subsid iaries repo rted $1.8 m illion in sa les in f iscal year
1977 , .
In an interview , Shaub pred ic ted th a t 98 pe rcen t of the
soup p lan t’s 1,100 em ployees would com e from the su r
rounding a re a and could receive w hatever job tra in ing they
needed locally “ You people have good industria l train ing
fac ilities in th is s ta te ,” he said.
Shaub said the p lan t would use locally produced v egeta
b les a nd poultry, bu t he said C am pbell r e se a rch e rs had not
de term ined how m uch of the v egetab les they needed could
be produced here , given the Sandhills grow ing conditions. •
“ We haven’t learned to grow tom atoes h e re y e t,” he said.
O fficials f rom Robesen and Scotland counties w ere c red
ited Monday w ith effo rts to bring Cam pbell to M axton.
H unt a lso pra ised U.S. Sen. Je sse A. H elm s and s ta te
A griculture C om m issioner Ja m e s A. G raham , who a tten d
ed the luncheon.
Tony Sm ith, d irec to r of the Robeson County Industrial
and A gricu ltu ra l D evelopm ent Com m ission, said the soup
plan t w ould be R obeson County’s second-largest em ployer,
a fte r the Converse footw ear p lan t n e a r L um berton, which
em ploys 1,700. The C am pbell p lan t would help ease the
county’s unem ploym ent ra te , w hich he sa id averaged 10
pe rcen t in 1977 and is cu rren tly e stim a ted a t 8 percen t.
Alfred B. Boyles, executive vice p residen t of the Laurin-

m em bers include severa l M axton m erchan ts, p redicted
Scotland County would benefit a s well. He p red ic ted the
p lan t would lure m ore industry to the are a , possibly includ

segregation of public accommodations was an historic but often only
a symbolic victory for the millions of black people whose economic
plight rendered this a meaningless gain. Schools were desegregated
but new patterns - the so-called, second generation problems - have
become institutionalized. Tracking procedures# the disproportionate
suspension and expulsion of blacks and the increase use of discipline
centers for students labeled deviant have produced segregated classes
even within desegregated systems. The demise of the black principal
and the loss of black teachers through attrition have withdrawn
what had once been the most assured source of black leadership in
small southern towns. The number of black elected officials has
risen dramatically but the exercise of black political power has
often not been translated into material benefits for black commu'a - 1^
shared equitably in the region's economic development.
We have decided to target some of our resources to the non
metropolian South in a comprehensive and sustained effort to ad
dress problems confronted by black citizens. We approach this task
with the following convictions based on our experience:
1. Priority must be given to enhancing the economic
status of average black persons. The increasing.ly
p i V
more visible black middle class in the South - the
young, educated, upwardly mobile beneficiaries of
the progress in civil rights since 1964 - must not
camouflage the despair of those families whose economic
situation has deteriorated.
2. Civil rights problems must be defined in terms of
their mutual interrelationship. The denial of equal
educational opportunity during youth limits one's
ability to become credentialed and affects employ-
ability throughout life. Job discrimination as a
major contributor to economic insecurity restricts
black purchasing power for vital health services
and good housing. Discrimination in access to de
cent housing and quality health care contributes to
the social situations which are frequently cited
to justify white resistance to school integration.
3. Strategies to enhance the economic status of black
people must be designed to reflect this interre
lationship. Too often, and usually because of
financial constraints, we have launched single
issue projects, although a true economy of effort
might have been reached in the long run from mul
tiple strategies to seek a quantum leap forward.
We believe that a vigorous, coordinated and sus-
- 2 -
tained attack on racial discrimination in nonmetro-
poLian areas will have a profound economic impact.
A comprehensive approach must address: the exclusion
of blacks from key policy-making bodies, especially
those with responsibility for planning and economic
development; denial of access to training; employment
discrimination; exclusion from quality moderate-priced
housing by developers, realtors and Federally-funded
providers of housing; denial of equal access to health,
extension and municipal services, to credit and to
business opportunities.
4, Strategies to enhance the economic status of blacks
should build on promising trends on the larger scene,
especially where the economic development of an area
is anticipated through new and expanding industries
or institutions, or through public works projects.
LDF's Division of Legal Information and Community Service pro
poses a major focus on Eastern North Carolina. Thirty of the 43
counties that we have identified as ’’Eastern" have populations
which are at least one-third black; some of these are among the
poorest counties in the nation. In 36 of them, more than half
the black population is poor. Two-thirds of black persons in 16
counties have incomes below the poverty line. (see attachments
1 and 2) At a consultation with black leaders from Eastern North
- 3 -
Carolina last October, LDP representatives received reports of dis
crimination in every area of community life.
Yet there are some developments which hold promise, if blacks
organize to take advantage of them. Industrial development is
projected. East Carolina University is becoming a major force in
area economic growth, as well as in the enlargement of health man
power and the restructuring of health care delivery systems. (see
attachments 3 and 4) Jones County, which is 45% black and 65% of
whose black citizens are poor, now has black public officials -
as deputy sheriffs and principals as well as members of the county
commission and of town, planning, elections, recreation and school
boards. Major private and public employers are defendants in litiga
tion to eliminate patterns of discrimination. All of North Carolina's
community colleges, technical institutes, vocational schools and
universities are implementing plans designed pursuant to Federal
statutes and guidelines to assure equal opportunities for minorities,
women and the handicapped.
Phase I, for which we are seeking a grant from the Babcock
Foundation, will be an action-research and community organization
project. Beginning in May 1978, our efforts during the first
months will be largely focused on challenging discrimination in
vocational education and manpower training programs. Our concern
will be to assure accountability of state and local agencies in
Eastern North Carolina to their legal mandate to target funds to
- 4 -
areas and to persons whose needs demand priority attention. We are
beginning with the training of minority youth as the issue around
which we will cluster other activities because of the seriousness
of the minority teenage unemployment problem and because we are
already deeply involved in statelevel monitoring of North Carolina's
Five Year Vocational Education Plan, as part of a national project.
However, we do not intend to concentrate on vocational training in
isolation. We are committed to a rationale of comprehensive and
multistrategy approaches to civil rights programming. Furthermore,
we are intrigued by John U. Ogbu's thesis, as reported by the
Carnegie Council on Children's release of his new book, that it
is the discouraging economic reality of most adult blacks' lives
which shapes children's skills and attitudes. Since schools rein
force society's message to adult blacks that there is a ceiling on
levels of income, status, power and dignity which can be reached,
black students will persist and succeed in school only when they
perceive realistically that education pays off in later life. Our
objective will be to Involve black leadership in assuring training
opportunities for youth as a specific point of intervention while
they as adults are changing the total situation in their communities.

PHASE I ACTION RESEARCH AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION
I. The First Three Months
A. Compilation and organization of information into
action-relevant pac]^ages for blacks.
Demographic data. Considerable data about Eastern
North Carolina already exist in official documents
of state and Federal agencies, in studies by re
search institutes and universities and in reports
of private advocacy groups. One of our first tasks
will be to put already available information into
a form which will be useful to grassroots organiza
tions.
2. Information about planning and policy-making bodies
in the area that play a key role in economic develop
ment and manpower programs,. We shall be particularly
interested in the prime sponsors for manpower pro
grams and in the Regional Councils of Government
in the area, (see attachment 5) These consortia
of city and county governments are leading region
al bodies for planning, development and manpower.
ĵ C- 0*^ Each has a Regional Manpower Advisory Council. In
our fact-finding we will be interested in the com
position of these bodies, the criteria for their
decisions, who benefits, the source and amount
of funds under their control and how black con
cerns can get on their agendas.
3• Information about economic development plans, new

and expanding industries, major job providers in
the private and public sectorso We shall document
the role of state agencies in development; kinds
of jobs current and projected in private industry
and the existing racial patterns in key firms; and
current and anticipated projections for employment
in public agencies and educational institutions.
We shall devote special attention to health manpower
Uc-- projections, not only because this is a growing field
nationally but also because the increase in black
practioners at all levels could definitely impact
on the health care delivery system's outreach to
black people.
4. Information about training programs. In our
monitoring of the state's Five Year Plan, we have
already compiled voluminous data on vocational
education programs and classes. We shall update
these data; review the state plan and the second
annual plan to ascertain whether programs are
relevant to anticipated manpower needs and
document black enrollment. We also intend to
get information on projects through the CETA amend
ments of 1977 (The Youth Employment and Demonstra
tion Projects Act). Community colleges play a
vital role in the state industrial training pro-
+ Co
gram. We have already discovered that this program
apparently does not serve the East adequately.- The
Asheville-Buncomhe Technical Institute received
1748 trainees in 1977-78, in comparison with the.
972 for all of the eastern counties together. (see
attachment 6 ) Because of our interest in health
professions, we shall focus on minority enrollment
at East Carolina University (see attachment 7)
which cited the high infant mortality and suicide
rates, low doctor-patient ratios and the general
inadequacy of health facilities in the East as
justification for opening a new medical school
with a focus on training for family medicine.
B. Identification of resources in public and private agencies,
educational institutions and in the black community.
II. Midsummer Worlcshop for Black Leaders
A topic such as "Training Black Youth Now for Eastern North
Carolina's Economic Opportunities in the 80's" should provide
the focus around which we could share the information we have
compiled and discuss strategies. Black participation on planning
and policy-making bodies and efforts to address the larger com
munity issues would also be on the agenda.
III. Area Projects. By midsummer we will have identified 3 areas
(counties or multicounty areas) for indepth concentration for
9 -
the following nine months, with consideration given to the follow
ing criteria: high black population ratio; good potential for
black leadership; counties in the impact area of new industries
or expanding institutions; counties near resources, especially
from universities. Greenville will undoubtedly be the center for
one of our area projects. Building upon what we have learned from
our fact-finding and the conference, we plan to develop comprehen
sive community action projects which will address a mix of issues
to be determined by local people: schools, jobs, housing, health,
municipal services, communications, degree to which institutions
respond to black needs (e.g. extension. Area Health Education
Centers, continuing education) etc. LDF's role will be to provide
staff assistance to these projects, looking forward to phasing out
our intensive involvement to that of a backup center in Charlotte.
Our philosophy is that public and private agencies should be ac
countable to black citizens in their service area. Our role as
interveners is that of a catalyst to promote this, accountability.
Once this begins to take place, we should shift our role. By
early summer 1979, we hope to be in a position to redefine our
relationship to these action groups.

we dealt with in the Waterway report.
Also enclosed is a copy of a letter from Alex Willingham
which explains the agencies a little bit and a copy of "Economic
Development Entities" which Alex sent me.
It is my guess we need to look into these agencies when we
research the East.

Dear Bob:
In Epes we agreed to send you some information we have about planning
agencies in the southern states. Our information is now limited to two types•of agencies:
l) Economic Development Agency sanctioned multi-county planning
commissions in the eight-state Southeast region. This information
was solicited from the Civil Rights division of the regional
office and rechecked for accuracy regarding black members
thirough letters to the executive directors of each commission©
¥e have identified a universe of approximately 330 black
members (out of approximately n k 7 ) which we believe to be accurate to August, 1976.
2} The second type is the semi-public development commissions
in each of eleven southern states. At this point it appears
that each of the eleven states has some kind of "development
office" or "Industry hunting" agency. These each have a
citizens commission. As we noted in Epes, the North Carolina
situation is currently in flux and in Louisiana they are
currently searching for a new director.
Enclosed please find a copy of EDA's Directory of Economic Development
istriets and Area Grantees and the names and addresses of Executive
ireotors of state-level planning commissions in eleven southern states.
̂ trying to assess the impact of increasai black participation in southern institutions. ¥e are trying
reference to their role in social development in the region,
ihis includes both questions concerning hlacfc presence at policy making
levels, as well as the extent to which such presence makes a difference.

We have been proceeding against numerous obstacles. Aside from organizatinal-
institutional problems (e.g. funding, released time, etc.) we have found
the planning context to be incredibly complex. There are sub-state,
multi-state, and state-level agencies, for exmaple, as well as special
agencies, not sanctioned by EDA, These different groups seem not to be
tied together with anything moi« than the perfomance of A-95 Review, if
at all. Still more, there are an array of private development initiatives
by such groups as the state and local Chambers. Our basic research
question then is complicated by this condition and any conclusions about
black involvement should be held cautiously until some of this has been
cleared up. For that reason we appreciate your concern and the possibility of cooperating.
We expect to complete recording our data this Summer and to begin analysis.
We are several months behind schedule now however. As these data are
codified we will be willing to provide you with whatever you may find useful.
Finally one of the things we had planned to do was to relate our survey
of attitudes of black members to the actual planning "thrust'* of the
agencies. For that reason we would need a variety of information including
plans, budgets, etc. which you will apparently be collecting. We would be
most appreciative if you could make your request in such a way as to cover
the area we are concerned with and to share your results with us.
I hope all continues well.
Sincerely
Ay

Enclosed is a copy of the job description which I mailed to
John Taylor on Friday, July 13, Since Susie was not in that day
a non-secretarial friend volunteered to type it.
When you asked Susie about it on the phone yesterday she was
transcribing some dictation concerning some Babcock and John Taylor
matters. She mistakenly thought you were referring to what she was
typing which is why she said she was typing it at that time.

Memorandum

Date: December 21, 1977
From: Bob Valder
A group of us including the Rev. Leon White met the other
night to plan a "Communications Project" for selected areas
in North Carolina in 1978.
The purpose of this memo is only to tell you that we have
selected a time and place for a general session to which we
will invite a bunch of folks. More details about the rationale
behind this project, what we are doing and what we hope to do at
the next meeting will be forthcoming later.
For now, however, please put on your calendar the fact that
the meeting will be in Greenville, North Carolina (one reason for
the Greenville site is because there is a T.V. station there which
is the only T.V. station covering a large part of the state and
that station is apparently terrible — also, it is owned by the
same family that owns the station in Richmond — OTVR — where we
are having a hearing).
Please put the following on your calendar, more information
later. The meeting will be held somewhere in Greenville on January
28, 1978 beginning at about 10:00 a.m.

“enormous” opportunity to
serve North Carolina.

be met in full measure.”
The UNC official said, “For
the U niversity of North

warmest congratulations to
chancellor (Leo) Jenkins,
vice-chancellor (Ed) Monroe,
Dean (William) Laupus, and
all of their collegues on this
historic day,” the opening of

According to Friday, “the
new hospital (Pitt Memorial
Hospital) stands as a splend-
ed example of cooperative ac
tivity between the university
and the county governmental
structure, to insure that our
citizens are provided ade
quate medical care. It is a
splended achievement in
which we all take great
pride,” he added.
Friday emphasized, “My
office has been and will con
tinue to be as fully supportive
of the medical school as we
can be.
“We look toward to many
y e a r s o f p r o d u c t i v e

The Board of Governors
authorized the development
of a four-year school of

November 1974 after Friday
told the board’s joint plann
ing and finance committee
that it would be a better use of
money to expand ECU’s one-

four-year degree granting
school, rather than expand
the school to two years as had
been authorized at that time.

Dear Mr. Alphran:
I have rea<3 your March 7 letter to Julius an(3 his March 20
letter to you.
There is a very good possibility that we will be conducting
the kind of survey referred to in your letter, we think we will
know for sure around the end of April. If we do conduct it Bertie
County will definitely be surveyed. Gates will probably be surveyed.
We have not yet determined which counties we are going to survey.
If we do this we hope to have it completed by the middle or end of
this summer.
I will let you know something more definite * later. In the
meantime, could you send me one of the survey questionnaires you
referred to in your letter to Julius?
Sincerely,
6b Valder
Regional Director

Dear Julius,
It was good seeing you again at the last executive committee
meeting. It occurred to me later that you might be able to assist
us on a project we are about to undertake.
The project will focus on surveying majority Black coimties
in the rural South, which lack Black elected officials at the county
level. With assistance of people in the local communities, we hope
to survey patterns of discrimination in education, housing, voting,
employment, administration of Justice, use of public, facilities and
accomodations and access to media. It is important to us that local
people who are most familiar with, these problems be involved in con
ducting this survey. In North Garolinajwe will be looking at Gates
and Bertie counties. Do you happen to know of someone in that part ,
of the state who could conduct the surveys for us.
We will be able to provide a small stipend of $25.00 for each
county surveyed, which Includes any transportation cost. Within
the next week the survey questionnaire will be ready for distribution.
Please let me know if you can think of anyone who would be inspired
to help us.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again at the next executive
committee meeting.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Derek M, Alphran
Executive Assistant
