M. HUGH THOMPSON, ATTORNEY FOR PLAINTIFF, 203'4 E. Chapel Hill Srroot, post Office Box 1422, Du wm, N. C. 27702 Oct. 6, 13 & 20th In the first of three sections, Dr. Jones explores the concept of human suffering from several perspectives- historical, humanistic, existential--with the intent of establishing divine racism as a legitimate, irreducible theological construct. He concludes that theodicy (the justification of God despite the existence of evil) is the central feature of black theology. Section two focuses on black oppression in a critical analysis of the most popular black theologians-Albert Cleage, James Cones, Major Jones, J. Deotis Roberts and Joseph Washington on the issue of black suffering. After finding their treatments either inadequate or nonexistent, Dr. Jones, in section three, formulates a black theology advocating the functional ultimacy of man. In this "humanocentric theism," man must act as if he were the ultimate agent in human history. Thus, says Jones, God'i's responsiblity for the crimes and errors of human history is reduced, if not effectively eliminated. Association, Mrs. Guest claims both Washington, D.

LAWRENCE C.GREEN Green Files for fayetteville Council Seat Community Radio Workshop Announces Opening Skills Center The Community . Radio Workshop, Inc. announces the opening of its Skill Center. October 1 is the date for its Opening. The Skills Center Is primarily designed to teach Black men and women communications. This . is not to say others will be excluded. There is, however, a shortage of Black-owned and operated radio and television stations. There is also a general dearth of Black people in the communications industry, especially the electronic media. According to Robert Spruiil, President and Chairman of the Board of the Community Radio Workshop, "the philosophy of the Community Radio Workshop is quite simple. When, one is not satisfied with what exists, then one should buUd what wUl be satisfactory and nullify the existence of that which is not. Being dlssatisifled with communication media and their interpretation of events to our people, we decided to build an institution which wiU more accurately portray the Black experience. Thus, the Community Radio Workshop, Inc., a North Carolina non-profit corporation, was developed to form WAFR-FM, the first Black Public Educational Radio Station in America. The Articles Of Incorporation specifically states the purpose of CRW as viewed by the incorporators. "The , principle purpose of Community Radio Workshop, Inc. shall be to own and operate broadcasting facilities in the City of Durham, County of Durham and State of North Carolina in order to broadcast by radio, television or by any other mode of communication which now or in the future may exist, musical, cultural, educational, informational, and other programs and materials for the entertainment and profit of the pubUc, and' the education and training of the community; In keeping with feeling that we should do for self, we have opened the Community Radio Workshop Skills Center. Specially, we decided to train our people for . positions in an industry whose shortage of Black personnel Is most apparent. Again, another institution is born out of the self-help concept The Community Radio Workshop Skills Center was born out of a need for more skilled people In the broadcasting industry. In spite of the fact that our first-born, WAFR-FM has not yet matured, we are giving birth to yet another. We are looking for our second-bom to teach and show others the way np the rugged road to competent, relevant and righteous communications. These men and women will be able to do all those things necessary to. command respect in the industry. More important, these same people will' be equipped to communicate with integrity and without fear. R is our hope that what Is instilled In people here, will serve as their beacon light to truth. .

It started with 10 students who were under Neighborhood Youth Corps grants from Operation Breakthrough, Inc. of Durham, NC. , The necessity for the training of high quality Black announcers, salespeople and managers prompted Robert Spruiil, Obatalye Akinwole, and Rwame McDonald to develop the concept of a skills training center.
