MID-OCTOBER, 1978 THE VOICE PAGE 7 P O E T R Y Our cameraman, Edwin DeVaughn, caught one pretty smiling face in the mad rush for an evening meal. I MEAN, THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE JS SO EYPRESm,m KNOU^ so, I MEAN, y/m, rou KNOW WHAT I MEAN? CPS Inmate Desires Correspondence “I’m a 39 year old bro, stuck here in the bowels of New York’s Attica prison. It does get a bit lonely in prison, Older Student (Continued from Page 6) concludes NCES. Colleges like New York University, whose continuing education program is phenomenally successful, are coming to the same conclusion. Ann Marcus, dean of the NYU program observes “an almost unlimited potential for growth in terms of student demand.” A survey conducted at NYU’s Management Institute, with 2,500 enrollees, showed 25-34 year-olds accounted for almost half the enrollment. The Institute offers “career” classes like public relations, marketing, and financial management. Evidently the classes fill a gap that college couldn’t, for there’s “a huge market of people under 35 wanting to improve their marketability,” says Marcus. so I desire to establish new friendships via correspon dence. If there’s anyone who cares to hear from an inmate, I’m here, waiting.” Adress all mail to: Sigmund “Ziggy” Wortherly 77A3792, 39-11, P.O. Box 149, Attica, NY 14011. Energy-Saving Tip Try using clear finish light bulbs rather than frosted bulbs in shaded fixtures when glare from the visible filament won’t be a problem. You’ll find that you can use somewhat lower wattage clear bulbs and still maintain the same level of illumination. A Child’s World She reaches for my hand And I reach out and touch The softest little person Whom I love so very much. She smiles And her eyes glisten with love She knows no hate As we giggle and shove. I lift her into the air Twenty pounds like free steel I laugh at her innocence There is no fear for her to feel Just living, just knowing That I’ll always take care No matter how dangerous “Auntie” is there. In just one year She’s learned so much But the most that she feels If of course, through touch. And it makes me feel sad To know, one day she’ll touch The inevitable bad And it will hurt her so much. Then I snap back with pain As something pinches my hand We laugh, she’s already learned Some of the mischief of man. Now it’s time for bed And she wants me to stay But I tell her “no-no” “Let’s sleep, we can’t play.” As I close the door My heart reaches out I know she has to learn What life is all about. She has to learn about hate And she’ll have to face fears I shudder as I wonder, “Can ‘Auntie’ be there during all of those years?” HOW? How can I tell you how much I care if you can not see it in my eyes when I look at you? How can I tell you how much I need you if through my touch you cannot feel how much I need your near me to hold and caress? How can I tell you how much you mean to me if through my face you cannot see your hurt, your pain, your anguish reflected there? How can I tell you how much I love you when I have given you my most prized possessions, my heart, my body, my soul? How can I tell if you don’t already know? Beverlee Browning Just Me by Shirley J. Long Everyday as I strive for whatever may be out there awaiting for me. I find myself in contentment. For dreams that no longer come true, and for the happiness that is no longer there. Tomorrow I know will be the same, for my life is so full of what may not exist. Why do these things happen like this? My emotions get carried away, for everyday, I am surrounded by what was yesterday, my past, for I know my tomorrow is, just another day. Sometimes 1 say why can’t my conscience be my guide? Why are my feelings so abused and hurt the way they are? For my imagination speaks for itself. The Wants Of Freedom by Valery Frazier Do you know what it is, to be free white man.,.? Can you truly, yes really understand ... That we are “Niggers” have really worked hard ... And have come a long way with the help of our Lord... Do you know what it is, to cry a real tear...? To beg, yes to have your family near ... And if and when, they’re taken away ... To bad for you, they gone to stay... Do you know what it is, to be dragged in dirt.,.? To be beat, and whipped and down right hurtAnd made to get down on your knees ... And told not to get up, until you say please... Do you know what it is, to care for a man...? Without having to feel your owner’s hand... To have a child by the one you hate... And not a choice of who to date... Do you know what it is, to work all day,.. Barely eat or sleep and gain no pay... To be spit upon and nothing you could do.,. But say to yourself, I’ll never forget you... Do you know what it is, to stand on a stage... And to have people around you stare and gaze,,. While they’re raising the prices, higher and higher,,. And the parents still living, wondering which one will buy-ya,,. Do you know what it is, to be slapped in the face.,. To be talked about, laughed at, because of your race,,. To he let down of jobs, you know you could hold,,. Because of the tales, the white nian told,,. Do you know what it is, to be hanged on a tree,.. And your family standing around in agony.,. To be shot down, for speaking your f>eace,,. And shoved around, like a dog on a lease,.. Do you know how it feels, to say I’m free,,. And to thank God for ending the misery.,. Of slavery times of hard despair... And the times when no one, seemed to care.

They followed that with another second place finish and then went on to win an un precedented four straight CIAA Championships, Despite these accomplishments Coach Walker and his teams have gone largely unnoticed. “Black on a whole just don’t get into golf until they’re older,” sighs Walker. “And even though you dominate the conference it’s considered no big deal because the member schools are predominately Black,” While Coach Walker will be the first to say that Fayetteville State could not be compared to powers like Wake Forest or even Elon in number of quality players. Coach Walker has had some fine players such as Dennis Williams and Vincient Reid that not only won All-CIAA honors but All-NAIA honors as well. Coach Walker, now en tering his eighth season, is seeking a fifth consecutive CIAA crown. Returning is team leader All-America Andre Springs for his final season. Also returning is Randolph Gather, Melvin Jackson, and Cornelius Howell, Johnny Vaughn and Redell Miller are Freshmen who will be depended on. The Broncos already have par ticipated in the Methodist College Tournament where after the first round they were third among 16 teams in cluding Duke, North Carolina, Campbell and Pembroke St, Colleges. The Broncos then suffered putting woes and fell from contention.
