r AT APRIL 27, 1979, THE CAROLINA TIMES -2 Julian Bond Addresses ECSU's Honors Convocation ELIZABETH CITY -Attacking the new conser vatism that is growing in America, and the unfor tunate shift in priorities of the Carter Administra tion, Georgia State Senator Julian Bond ad dressed tha annual Honors Convocation at Elizabeth City State University. The Moore Hall auditorium audience, comprised mostly of close to 500 students honorees, listened attentively as Bond wove history and satisfies into his lengthly address. "In reality, it is social arson at the grass roots, the tyranny of the selfish, the opening shot in class warfare in America, and the first ballet in a bitter war between the haves and have-nots," Bond stated as he described the grow ing negative affect of the Prooosition 13 movement and its illigitiinate offspr ing elsewhere." Earlier, he pointed out that "Rather than eliminating quotas, the Bakke decision helps to reinforce the 200-year-old racially and sexually motivate quota system that has guaranteed that only the male and the pale will enjoy a monopoly on good jobs, on positions of power and prestige in government, and on all of the benefits and rewards the United States of America gurantees the many but delivers only to the few." The statistics used by Senator Bond "described a people (blacks) in per manent crisis, a crisis not just in figures and fact, but in the daily lives of millions." "They (the figures) demonstrate why our cities are in decay, our prisons has been con demned to the state of a permanent underclass..." Senator Bond added. Quoting the late Dr. W.E.B. DuBois, the popular young black leader challenged the EC-' SU students honorees; "We hold the possible future in our hands, but not by wish and will, only by thought, plan and organization." The evening before the Convocation, 72 of the top honorees were feted during the firs( Honors Banquet addressed by EC SU alumnus. Dr. John Harris. Dr. Harris, Direc tor of the Reading Pro gram for the Montgomery County (Md.) Public School System, com mented, "You honorees are expected to do good things and do them responsibly." Receiving the highest number of awards during the Honors Convocation was Sophomore English major, Ms. Susan Fit zgerald. Elizabeth City, who received seven awards. Receiving six awards was Ms. Carolyn F. Felton, Senior Biology major. Hertford mills; Betty Yelverton, Senior Political Science, major, Wilson; and Terrie Gib son, Junior English, ma jor Monroe.

Crude Oil Continued from page 1 provides a rebate of only $100 per family of four which will result from the new energy policy. Congressman Dixon called upon the president to make a greater commit ment to solar energy and other renewable sources. "If we aggressively develop solar power, we could produce 25 per cent of our nation's energy from these, sources by the year 2000y- Recent .events at the Three Mile Island emphasize our need to develop the potential of solar energy." Congressman Rangel rejected oil price decontrol as a means of controlling dependence on foreign oil. "We are told that higher prices are necessary to reduce oil consump tion, but all evidence from price rises to date and key press surveys since the President's announcement indicate that most of the public will change energy use patterns very little." Congressman Rangel also contended that the President's argument that the oil companies need ad ditional incentives for domestic exploration ig nores the fact that oil companies averaged 32.4 per cent profits for the fourth quarter of 1978, much higher even than the 26.4 per cent corporate profits which Administra tion economic spokesman men Alfred Kahn and Charles Schultz have de n o u n c e d as"excessive. "Congress man Rangel pointed out that "There is little factual basis to support the theory that decontrol will act as a greater incentive to ex ploration. For the past three years, every available oil rig and bit has been has been in operation . Obviously pre sent incentives are suffi cient to encourage ex ploration." Congressman ' Leland stressed that a Department of Energy Working Paper (Low -Income Energy Assistence: A Profile of Need and Policy Option", Fuel Oil Marketing Ad visory Committee of the U.S. Department of Energy, March 1979), has found that the average low-income household ($33l8year mean income) spends 33 per cent of its annual income on fuels and utilities, and that a 25 per cent increase in energy prices will put this figure at 40 per cent. John O'Leary, former Adm ministrator of the Federal Energy Agency, found in 1977 that many elderly poor were spending over 50 per cent of their disposable incomes on energy in the winter mon ths. By conntrast, it was founed that the average median-income ($16,582year) household today spends 9.6 per cent of its annual budget on energy. Congressman Rangel said that "The President has given us an austerity budgel for the poor and yet pursed policies which will provide obscene pro fits of billons of dollars for the wealthy. The oil companies are chastised as their profits are about too be increased, while the poor hear soothing words as unemployment goes higher, less housing is built and no protection is provided against phenomenal health costs." Congresswoman Collins said that the Administra tion has once again demonstrated that its pr iorities are the opposite of those who elected it-the minorities, low-income, elderly and Democrats supporting the historic principals of the party. "While the Caucus sup ports the windfall profits tax, the minority set-aside program, electricity transfers, mandatory ther mostat settings for businesses, and passage of legislation which would prohibit all involuntary termination of service for residential heating bet ween October 15th and April 14th of each year (H.R. 2734), its members will continue to work against decontrolling prices at the expense of the consumer."
