SNCC has rejected intellectualism -- the notion that Negroes must obtain certain credentials and legitimacy from education to be meaningful to the Negro community -- as bourgeois and escapist...

This success cost its student backers missed classes, slipping grades, weeks of 20-hour-a-day effort centered in a 20-room section of Emory's Wesley Hall dormitory. The brashness of Bubba Sutton, 24-year-old son of a Marietta, Ga., building contractor and former student on the world-circling University of the Seven Seas, provided the main push. He flew to New York to gain the backing of General Lucius Clay, to Los Angeles to get Bob Hope to make part of a television special explaining A.V.N. to Georgia viewers, to Miami to get Singer Anita Bryant...
