i aidiagi .tom i Girls ttayiEnterf Of At-Largotonjosfams TfflS WEEK'S LETTER: I'm 15 years old and I like this guy that is 18. The problem is. he's my brother's friend and my brother doesn't like the idea of me going with his friend. My brother is trying to do everything to stop us. I'm not even sure if the friend likes me anymore. At one time I'm sure he did. I asked him once, after I found out my brother was making trouble. All he said was: "I don't know." What should I do? Thanks, Con fused. OUR REPLY: Dear Con fused the first thing you should do is tell your friend that his an swer isn't good enough. The truth is he does know... so jpnake him tell you whether he wants to go out with you or not. As for your brother, communicate with hint that you don't appreciate his meddling. Keep all of these relationships separate, your brother should do the same. The main thing is to be certain how you feel and what you want. Share that with both your brother and the friend. Take respon sibility for making sure they are clear on where you're coming from. Then, give them the freedom to do what they're going to do anyway.. ..but don't get hung up in somebody else's nonsense. at wli i Mm aHvtlal DANVILLE, Va. - Trudie Ferguson, Contestant Coordinator of Pageants Unlimited, Inc., and the Miss Black Teenage World Pageant, announced recently that teenagers interested in entering Pageant '76 may enter as At-Large-Contestants from States where there is no Official Miss, Black Teenage .

It was certainly a night to be remembered by those who attended Tuesday night's session of Black History Week at North Carolina Central university and what happened took many by surprise. Donald Byrd went before the audience and did not play a single note, but instead gave a bried lecture on black music, and Blackbyrds a-." And that's just about what they did! It was obvious that they had done their homework with their instruments and their arrangements of the various tunes that they played and sang: Their rhythm, vocals, beat and pitch was masterful and one of their songs, ' Supertrick' y I predict will be soecifically in the area of jazz a million seller because It has which he has" been sq ' all the necessary ingredients.

"Part of the wise acceptance ; of jazz," he began, ' has been due to the academia of the black college campuses." He talked about the Blackbyrds, a soul jazz group made up of students from Howard University where he once taught. "The concept of the Blackbyrds is not a new thing, he said. "It's an old idea that's just been revived, I just wanted to give these young guys a chance , to do their own thingi" The Blackbyrds are currently one of the top groups in the country with a number one single hit, "Happy Music," which was written and produced by Byrd. He talked briefly about some of the great jazz composers who were connected with universities like Erskin Hawkins and Jimmy Lunceford. "What I'm trying to do is to get black people to respect all facets of black music," he said. Then came another treat. He introduced, for the first time to the public, a group he had been working with for some time. They were all made up of NCCU music students. I'm going to do the same thing here that I've done at Howard," said Bird, who admitted that many of the concepts that he put into the Blackbyrds, he had gotten while working at NCCU about ten years ago. He is currently a visiting lecturer at the , university. He contined, "So what 1 want you to do now is get together and raise a whole lotta hell that's gonna kick the is an obvious rhythm and blues ' piece with a jazz'' format, especially Ae wxaphone . ani trumpet .'solos.'.' .(The latter which has " many, traces of Birds' jazz style) Most of .all, they were a unified group and that says a lot for any group.
