By JOHN MYERS
November 14-16 is the date
set for the annual Cosmetology
Trade Show this year to be
held at the Durham Hotel. Mrs.
Esther L. Wiley, organizer of
this year's show, says plans are
made for visiting experts, in
the field of cosmetology, from
New York, Chicago, and most
of the 50 states.
Although the show is open
to everyone in the field of
cosmethology, in the past the
majority of attendance was
black. Mrs. Wiley stresses the
importance of the show with
the fact that it is through
these events that the majority
of up-dated procedures and
techniques are learned by the
working cosmetologists.
Registration begins Sunday
evening in the Durham Hotel.
Monday will be spent in Semi
nars and workshops leading to
the dinner show and demon

special study recommendation
that the Association not em
ploy a full-time administrator
and avoid the development of
another super educational or
ganization at this time regard
less of how noble its purpose.
The members of the As
sociation accepted the thesis
that: "It is a salient fact that
the 'power' to coordinate
higher education in North
Carolina does not reside within
the North Carolina Association
of Colleges and Universities
but with the newly created
Board of Governors of the Uni
versity of North Carolina."
The study and recommen
dation was a result of a prior
session of the association giving
emphasis to developing a
leadership role in higher edu
cation in the state and the
establishment of a central of
fice with a full-time Executive
Director through which the
Association could: (1) Coordi
nate its work in a supportive
and cooperative manner with
appropriate agencies, public
and voluntary, which serve
colleges and universities ... and
to (2) Serve as a catalyst for
member institutions in plan
ning the future of higher edu
cation, including liaison with
governmental agencies.

Nation's Leading Corps. Making
Deposits in Black-Owned Banks
NEW YORK, New York -
Many of the nation's leading
corporations are pouring mil
lions of dollars in deposits to
increase the assets of the 36
minority-owned and operated
banks (26 Black, four Puerto
Ric&n, and five Mexican-Ameri
can) in the country. These
transactions may represent
perhaps, the greatest transfer
of economic resources the
country has ever experienced.
According to Sam Beard,
Chairman of Capital Formation
and National Director of the
Minority Bank Deposit Pro
gram, recent call reports from
the participating banks across
the country indicate a growth
skin color: "No blacks in this
country should fall victim to
the skin game. We are Ameri
can fruits perverted by Euro
pean brutes."

poem and a call for the men in
the audience to stand. The
poem was titled "Stand Up,
Black Man."
