i CAROLINA TIMES Sat, Oct. 27, 1973 ma m REFLECTIONS FROM NCCU By Mary Bohanon We haw no contact with the individual, other than from his actions and hearsay. We become an authority or a judge at to what he is, without asking or seeking "Why." It occurs to mo that man is unable to judge his fellowman's actions. Do we know his motives? No. We give a man a reputation, but is that his chamcter? Character consists of the inner man, the capitalized Me which often a person is reluctant to reveal, because his peers are more than likely to be short-sighted. WHO WOULD KNOW? Water rushed and gushed about me as I sat serenely amid the turbulence of the incoming waves. Lost in tranquility, I was oblivious to the confusion of waves vying to be the first to slap my insensate body. Scattered thought-remnants and puffs of clouds drifted lazily through the periphery of my languid mind... Briefly I roused from my languor to resettle my body in the hand-dug depression in the sand. 1 wriggled slightly, ignoring the gritty, scratching sand. There. Much better. Clasped my hands behind my bead. Shook my shoulders. Snug. Relaxed. Closed my eyes. Sensed the warm, then hot-too hot-glow on my eyelids. Adjusted my cap to shad them. Cool darkness ensued; a respite from the searing sun. Minutes passed me by, I, unaware of them. Aware only of the caress of wavelets soothing my sunburned skin, soothing my spirit as well. I lapsed into a reverie, the substance unmemoried. Drugged with dreaminess I nodded, then drowsed.... Slowly an annoying sensation crept into my semi-consciousness. Vague. But insistent. I stirred, displeased at the intrusion. I attempted to ignore it. In vain. The sensation persisted. Then abruptly it defined itself. Mucous. Clammy. I jerked from half sleep with a start. Wide-awake I stared at the source of my discomfort- a bloated dead fish lying alongside my leg. I recoiled with revulsion. Trepidatiously I picked it up by it's slimy tail and flung it away. I resolved to leave immediately. Irritated, I strode across the beach and up the dune. At the top, I paused,- turned to view once more the scene where I had spent such a pleasant, satisfying day. The sandy shoreline and the sparkling sea stretching to meet the sky at the edge of infinity caused me to linger, bade me to return. I half-turned to leave but a realization unbidden, came to me and made me stop. The fish was gone. I looked closer. Yes . . . yes, and so was my hand-dug depression. Not a sign to show that the fish or I had ever been there. We had vanished along that shoreline stretching toward infinity... Who would know I had been scorched by the sun or that a fish once lay dead on the sand? Who would knoWAnd why should anyone care? Mark W. Kenas MY MOTHER None is more worthy of angelic praise Than that Image of Madonna granted to me By the Almighty. With lined face, Scared hand, And wearied heart, The loveliest figure known Bears the name My Mother. How weary her life has been since my beginning. Bringing less joy and more tears, Still she loves me endlessly- I am her child. Born of her flesh, In her image, She is my dearest friend, my guiding star MY MOTHER.

Vanzell Woodard "WITHOUT" Have you ever been lonely? So lonely that time stood still, And for one moment you were nothing. Have you ever been lonely? So lonely that you could walk into a crowded room, But never once were you touched by the mere existence of another soul. Have you ever been lonely? And you reached out from within, To grasp a meaning of your voidness. Have you ever been lonely? To want just to have something or someone, Close to you but not about you. Have you ever been loney? Watching a twinkling star dancing in brilliance, And feeling such delight never to be resurrected. Have you ever been lonely? Like a single cloud in the sky, Floating to an unforeseen destiny. Have you ever been lonely? Crying out a plea for solitude, To become one within one's self. Have you ever been lonely? Without concept, without purpose, without being, Have you ever been lonely?

CPSC LAUNCHES A NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN FOR TOY SAFETY WASHINGTON, D. C. -The Consumer Product Safety Commission recently announced a nationwide toy safety campaign to get banned toys off toy shelves and to inform consumers about possible hazards associated with toys. More than 150,000 different kinds of toys are sold in toy shops and toy departments across' the country. The Federal Government has banned some 1,500 toys, but some of these dangerous toys may still be found for sale. Each year, an estimated 132,000 toy-related injuries are serious enough to be treated in hospital emergency rooms. Jf Seventy to eighty percent of all toys are purchased during the months of October; November, and December, and the Commission will give priority attention to toy safety during the holiday season. To assist consumers in identifying dangerous toys and to encourage the purchase of safe toys, the Commission has designed toy safety coordinators in each of the Commission's 14 regional offices. The toy coordinator will be available to answer questions from consumers and business men and to speak before community organizations concerned about toy safety. Radio and television public service announcements in both English and Spanish and posters in U. S. Post Offices will be used to inform the public about dangers present in some toys. A color and sound film, "Can You Pass the Toy Safety Test," will be available to local groups through CPSC regional offices. Copies of a leaflet, "Toy Safety: Always in Season," and the CPSC Banned Products List are available from regional offices and the Commission's Washington headquarters at no cost. ' The Consumer Product Safety Commission, under the authority of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, can bap certain categories of dangerous toys. On October 1, CPSC regional inspectors began a nationwide preholiday inspection program to insure compliance with the Banned Products List. ... At llderton Dodge!

Clarence Mitchell, director of the NAACP Washington Bureau of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has called for the abolition of the powerful and obstructive Rules Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, labelling the Committee's function as "excess bagage at this period of modern history." Mr. Mitchell documented his charges against the Rules Committee at a hearing of the House Select Committee on Committees here, Oct. 10. The Select Committee was created by the House to "conduct a thorough and complete study with respect to the operation and implementation of Rules X and XI of Rules of the House of Representatives." Mr. Mitchell, representing both the NAACP and the Leadership Conference of Civil Rights, appeared before the Committee with Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., a member of the NAACP Board of Directors and the Leadership Conference of which he is the general counsel. Citing examples of the Riles Committee's record of thwarting civil rights legislation from 1945 through 1968, Mr. Mitchell told the Select Committee that "this long and amazing list of negative action by the Rules Committee" reveals "its power to prevent positive action on civil rights. This picture changed for the worst in 1972 when the Committee exerted pressures on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Labor Committee to force action on so-called anti-busing legislation. This legislation, of course, was designed to nullify Supreme Court Decisions implementing desegregation of the public schools." , The NAACP legislative representative further said: "It is grossly unjust to the people of our country to vest so much power in the Rules Committee whatever may have been the function of the Rules Committee in the past, it is excess baggage at this period in modern history. Fortunately, the present chairman of the Rules Committee, Mr. Ray J. Madden of Indiana, has prevented obstruction and other members of the Committee are also disposed to act constructively instead of putting bills in deep freeze. in ij.lll'l II i jWltlMfc i i mwM ' i3a If 8 WL - mm .

NROTC Scholarships Deadline Nearing End Black high school graduates are reminded that the deadline for applying for Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarships is November 1. Applicants must have arranged to take one of two college board exams, the results of which must be forwarded to the Navy-Marine Corps Scholarship Program, Iowa City, Iowa. The college board tests, the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, and the American College Test, ACT, .re the two acceptable tests. Deadline for arranging to take these tests was October 11. Graduates and seniors who are otherwise eligible may apply through any local Navy recruiter. The scholarships provide for four years of college tuition paid by the Navy plus a $ 1 00 a month living allowance, uniforms, and other fees required of full-time college students. Selectees will be enrolled in the Naval Reserve and appointed to the rank of midshipmen upon entering college. There are 56 colleges and universities from which to choose, including five predominantly black colleges. Last year there were 43 black and other minority students selected for scholarships, plus 14 women selectees. The Navy hopes to increase the number of black men and women serving as officers, through such programs as the NROTC scholarships. Currently 805 blacks are on duty as Navy officers, holding every rank from warrant J officer through rear admiral.

Building Tuskegee Institute will begin construction of a new Administration Building within the next eighteen months. Because of the growth of the Institute, the 70-year old structure currently serving administrative offices can no longer fit their special requirements. The new Administration Building will serve as a center for all central administrative services and facilitate improved coordination of these services. Construction of the new Administration Building will be made possible through a $650,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation, to be authorized in January 1974. A second grant of $650,000 is expected in January 1975. The building was designed by Paul Rudolph, FAIA, as part of an overall campus Master Plan for Tuskegee Institute. John Chase, AIA, of Houston, Texas, is the architect. Melvin A. Glasser, Chairman of the Tuskegee Institute Board of Trustees, and President Luther H. Foster expressed great satisfaction for the generosity of the Kresge Foundation, which will make funds available for this much-needed Administration Building. A Halloween Safety Program, designed to preserve the best aspects of the age-old "trick-or-treat" tradition for the children of Durham has been officially endorsed by the city's Mayor, James R. Hawkins, according to Lt. Allen. The plan, which employs the Halloween Safety Rules of the National Safety Council, provides parents with a set of guidelines for protecting the safety of youngsters who take part in the annual Halloween custom of masquerading in costumes while visiting neighbors to collect carfBy and other treats. The afternoon hours of Halloween, Wednesday, October 31, is the period officially designated by Mayor Hawkins for "trick-or-treat" visits in Durham, Lt. Allen said. On that day, residents wishing to cooperate are requested to keep their porch or exterior lights on as an indication of their willingness to welcome young visitors and offer them treats. Children are encouraged to call only at the lighted homes of neighbors whom they know. Other safety tips offered by Mayor Hawkins to young "spooks" and "goblins" planning to participate in Halloween "trick-or-treat" activities, October 31, include the following: (1) Bring your parents or other responsible adults along on your visits; (2) Stay within your own immediate neighborhood; (3) Accept only wrapped or sealed treats; (4) Bring your goodies home to be inspected before tasting them; (5) Wear light-colored Halloween costumes decorated with reflective tape for greater visibility; (6) Do not wear Halloween masks since they tend to restrict vision; (7) Use flashlights after dark; (8) If you carry a pumpkin, light it with a flashlight, not a candle. The Mayor also urged children to observe the National Safety Council's basic rules of pedestrian safety on Halloween: (1) Cross only at comers, never between parked cars, never diagonally across an (Continued on Page 7B) JOB FAIR AT FSU - Milton Yarboro, (extreme right) Placement Director "J University and Dr. Grace C.
