year's Heismsn trophy winner,
wide receiver Johnny Rodger of
Nebraska also expressed his sur
prise at lasting so long, 25th
in the first round, and said "I'm
determined to prove to the
San Diego people that they
made a good choice. I!U bet
some of those other pro teams
will wish that they'd picked
me before I'm through playing.'
Rodgess was bypassed because
of size, 5-foot-nine, as was his
teammate and winner at the
Outland and Lombard trophies
as lineman of the year Richl
Glover. Glover, who was selec:
ted by the New York Giants in
the third round, was equally
determined to prove himself
and said, "I know I can make
it in the pros."
George Allen may not have
nad nay draft choices, nevertne
less he came out of the two day
draft with a blue chip player
through a trade, all-pro line
backer Dave Robinson of the
Green Bay Packers. Robinson
At age 31 is the experienced
performer that Allen favors and
will fit easily into the Washing
ton Redskins system should he
decide to end his short-lived
retirement. Coming off an
Achilles tendon injury, suffered
in 1970 Robinson had two
superlative years before he be
came disenchanted witii tne
Packers and accepted the post
as director of Minority Affairs
for the Joseph Schlitz Brewing
Co. Knowing Allen's ability ot
stretch players' careers as ne did
with veteram linebacker Jack
Pardee, whom he brought out
of retirement while with the
Rams, Robinson will be a Red
skin next.
In an all-sTar game that was
far from artistic one man cap
tured the crowd's enthusiasm,
Nate Archibald. Archibald who
is considerably smaller than the
6-feet-l, 155 lbs. he claims, out
played the big man as the West
squad broke off to an early lead
His game high 17 points and
fine play at Sidney Wicks
held the West's lead for only a
short time as free substitution
and an incredible total of 51
turnovers switched the advan
tage to the Esat squad.
Toward the end of the game
the crowd chanted: "We wnat
Nate. We want Nate!" and
coach Bill Sharman finally in
serted the league leader In point
and assists only to see Archi
bald's game sour as the East
routed the heavily favored West
104-84.

They were charged with the
responsibility of not allowing
their harps to hang on a

Bombing Continues
In Laotian Areas
HONOLUtU - U.S.
aircraft, including B52s, contin
ued operations over Laos on
Monday at the request of the
royal Laotian government, the
U.S. Pacific Command said.
The one-sentence statement
made no mention of air oper
ations over Cambodia. A com
mand spokesman said there
were no operations over that
country.
As usual, no amplification
was provided.
The Greater Durham Cham
ber of Commerce announced
this week, that based on the
latest official estimates by
the Durham City Planning
Department, Durham's popu
lation is 100.764 as of Febru
ary 1, 1973.
According to Dexter Smith,
planning director for the City
of Durham, this estimate is
based on the total number of
building permits, occupancies,
and demolitions since the last
official U. S. Census in April
of 1970. The 1970 Census list
ed Durham's population as
95,438.
H. C. Cranford, Jr., presi
dent of the Chamber of Com
merce, commenting on the
new population figure said,
"Going over the 100,000 mark
is certainly a milestone in
the history of our city. This
news thoroughly confirms our
conviction that Durham is
growing greater in many
ways, and that the future of
our community is indeed very
i.tt.i
This new" estimate makes
Durham the fifth city in
North Carolina with a popu
lation exceeding 100,000. The
other cities are Charlotte,
Greensboro, Winston - Salem,
and Raleigh. Based on the
1970 Census, and Smith's lat
est estimate. Durham's mon
thly population growth since
April of 1970 has been 161.
Since population and dem
ographic studies started us
ing the Standard Metropoli-
cttiiaipal Area (SMSA)
l a ii
several years ago, municipal
population figures have not
figured as importantly in
market surveys and studies as
they once did. Durham's SM
SA includes all of Durham
and Orange Counties. How
ever, certain benefits accrue
to a city when it surpasses
the 100,000 figure. The most
obvious result is a more pro
mient listing in road maps
which are printed by a vari
ety of petroleum companies
and cartographic firms.

WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE
REPORT
BY JOHN EDWARDS
BLACK PEOPLE MUST USE
THEIR POLITICAL POWER
AT ALL TIMES
The North Carolina Voter
Education Project takes the po
sition that Black people must
use their political power at all
times, not just on election day.
In the past sessions of the
North CArolina General Assem
bly, the law-making body of
our State government, the
Black community has not had
individuals or organizations lob
bying in Raleigh on their be
half, nor have many local or
ganizations contacted their
State Representatives or SEna
tors and asked them to vote
for or against bills.
it is our oeuei inai in
past local groups did not lobby
for what they believed to be in
the best interest of the Black
community because they did
not know about a bill until
it had become a law or was de
feated. While the North Carolina
Voter Education Project is pro
hibited by law from lobbying
for or against legislation, we are
able through our education de
partment to assist the Black
community by keeping you in
formed of what is happening
in the 1973 session of the Gen
eral Assembly which is now
meeting in Raleigh.
To keep you informed we
shall publish a weekly news
paper column which will cover
noteworthy legislation. The
column will only list those bills
introduced in the State House
or Senate during the week which
we believe to be of signifi
cance to the Black community.
The appearance of a bill in the
column docs not indicate that
we advocate passage or defeat
of the bill.
However, we are encourag
ing local organizations to uti
lize various lobbying techni
ques (writing and making per
sonal visits to the Representa
tives and Senators, speaking at
committee hearings, etc.) to en
sure the passage or defeat of
legislation in which they are
interested.

much more meaningful, and
would therefore be the re

OMBE to provide manage
