Jim's chess r ner between scenes jimed his position at the jard while the star looked for something to sit on, continuing a heavy discussion that had started earlier. "Dignity, like pride and honesty, is a quality that others must see in a person," says Jim. "It's not something that one feels as an integral part of one's personality. Dignity is being respected as a man to look up to. It does not have a great deal to do with immediate recognition or hero worship. As a veteran Cleveland Browns player I got accustomed to recognition. But the next step is the all impottsammt Wbuld people still point and whisper if I were not Jim Brown? "It was in England that I took the first objective look at myself. No one had ever heard of Jim Brown in Europe. I began to realize people are judging me simply as another man," says Jim. "This is what I mean by saying a man's dignity is important. Do these qualities in a man set him aside? Do they make him someone people would like to call a friend? This has nothing to do with recognition and flattery, ft is a great feeling to know you've made it under this sort of set-up." He added, "Another attribute that is vital to living in this society is pride.

" ft Ross, who is known as one of the most innovative football coaches in the nation, is the inventor of 'five-a-day" practices. His team will meet Tuskegee Institute at Atlanta Stadium on Saturday, September 15th, at 3 p.m. in the first game of the Atlanta Gridiron Festival doubleheader. Florida A&M and North Carolina Central will follow at 8 p.m. "I wouldn't go so far as to actually say they were five-a-day practices," Ross said recently. "Our approach is simply to gimmick to insure conditioning. We make sure our boys do a whole lot of running." What is a typical busy for the Wolverine team? "Tuesday and Wednesdays are our busiest days," Ross continued. "We hit the field at six in the morning to work on our offense. We break from eight to nine for breakfast. We're back on the field again in ten to do a lot of running. We break from 11 to three for lunch and some rest. We hit the field again at three to work on defense, and then at four-thirty we work on the weight machine. After resting a couple of hours, we finish up the day by either having a classroom session or practicing under the lights at seven." Bed checks is at 11 p.m. Ross also has some unique Morgan-Grambling Clash b Top Block College Gridiron Classic When the New York Urban League started the Whitney M.

This year's classic will be played at New York's Yankee Stadium on Saturday, September 22nd, game time 300 p.m. One of the all-time great games is the Orange Blossom Classic in Florida, featuring the Florida A and M team against a leading team in the south.

"She started by helping me day critique practice and game ll fiime " ho soAA "and it became evident that she had a real knack for spotting little bitty things. "Now she sends notes down to me on the sidelines during games. She lets me know when the defensive backs are coming up too fast or whatever." .

It's the unique way we have of expressing ourselves. That's one of the reasons the National Black Network saw the need for a national Black news service. What do we call Black news? It's simply news reported by Black people, edited by Black people, and affecting the lives of Black people. That's the National Black Network -a vital cqritaiurucalions link between Black communities everywhere It's a bet that when you listen to an NBN station, you II know where it's coming from. After all, it's carrying your news. & National Black Network Division of Unity Broadcasting Network. Inc BJr 4- Kir Ino Rlarlr Letters. We get letters. We get lots and lots of letters about the various things we discuss in "BY THE A." Not all the letters we get agree with us either. Not by a long shot, sometimes. And that's good. You see, I am not a preacher. Nor a teacher. I am simply Joe Black, citizen. A Black man for tunate enough to speak up and speak our, and reach thousands of people through the press and broadcast media. Still, I am only a single voice, trying to remind you and me and all of us how important it to constantly re-examine our attitudes and solutions to Black problems. I have been labeled a "Tom" by some, because I don't relate to racism as strongly as some think I should. My answer to that is simply that I deeply believe in the importance of unitingpeople of good will more than 1 do dwelling on those things that divide them. I don't believe that rap sessions like "BY THE WAY" have to be filled with hatred, profanity and despair to jog our minds, our sensitivities, and our sensibilities. I do hope, though, that when 1 communicate my way, more and more of us will give just a little more honest thought to what we are all doing--what we can do to more realistically solve more of the problems facing the Black community. If we get letters because of it even those that disagree with what we say we must be doing something right. At least, someone out there is reading and thinking. The Ui Itaaaf tmMm
