Stevie Wonder Presents $15,000 Check to UNCF .SAT., FEBRUARY 21.1811 THE CAZZUZA TJJ 3 NEW YORK Stevie I Wonder visited the na-, tional headquarters of the : United Negro College ' Fund recently to help launch UNCFs 1981 an nual campaign and to br ing his message urging a national legal holiday in honor of the late Dr. Mar-: tin Luther King, Jr. to New York City. Early last month the singer and songwriter sponsored a march and rally in Washington, D.C., attended by 100,000 people from all parts of the country. They rallied on behalf of legislation currently in Congress which would make Dr. King's birthday, January .15, a national . holiday.. Costs for this extraor-i dinary event were under-! written with the proceeds from a Stevie Wonder concert held on January 16 at the Washington Capitol Center.. At that time, Wonder pledged that any, funds remaining after the rally expenses had- been paid would be donated to a cause which would have ' been close to the heart of , the slain civil rights leader, Dr. King. That is why Stevie Wonder flew to New York at the end of his recent concert four to present a Check for $15,000 to the United Negro College Fund, kicking off the Col-! lege Fund's annual fund-' raising drive to help sup-, port 41 private pre dominantly black colleges and universities. Dr. , Martin Luther King, Jr. was a graduate of a UNCF institution, Morehouse : College in Atlanta. During his If your needle skips and snags when you sew on knits, try changing it. Burrs on your needle cause snagging. i i lifetime, one of the issues, Dr; . King vigorously sup-j ported was the need to' protect the viability and mission of America's; black institutions . of higher education. In presenting his con tribution to UNCF ex ecutive , 1 . director! Christopher F. ; Edley,:. Stevie Wonder said that he shares the deeply, felt sen timents of Dr. King and that he believes that a con tribution to the United Negro College Fund is ant important way of helping Dr. King's dream: come true. Thanking , - Stevie Wonder for his gift, Edley pointed out, that Stevie Wonder has contributed to UNCF in more ways; than one. On January 10, Los Angeles radio station KJLH-FM, owned by Stevie Wonder, simulcast UNCF's televised fund raising special, "The Lou Rawls Parade of Stars," which , raised over SI 50,000 in gifts and pledges. "Stevie Wonder is one of only a handful of stars and athletes who have thoughtfully stepped out to make a strong state ment about the need for higher education. He recognizes that education is surely the day and hope for minority young people in America today' said ' Edley. ; : "You cannot be part of a movement Aft have an ; impact without sacrifice," he continued. "Sacrifice: means giving some money, some time and some talent to the cause. And some, like Stevie Wonder, sacrifice by giv- raids and trimmings used on washable curtains and draperies should also be washable. i . -. i rh I """i ITT ffi.yV. I .

Robert Monroe Named Summit Sales President SALISBURY Liv ingstone College will receive a grant of $47,675 from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation for the first year of a two-year plan to provide training on computers to all students in the college's division of natural sciences and to introduce the administration "and faculty to computer use. The grant was announc ed by the foundation, which will also award $104,000 to Johnson C. Smith University of Charlotte for the first year of a three-year project to develop a broad program of urban studies and $11,320 to Bennett Col lege at Greensboro to start a four-year program to train staff women for ad ministrative and managerial positions at the college. The grants are part of a package of nearly $4 million in foundation fun ding, including nearly $3 million to 31 black col leges and universities and nearly $1 million to six black-college support organizations, which are part of a long-range pro gram of support to black higher education. They will begin July 1 . Livingstone plans to develop a low-cost com puter center through the purchase of 32 micro computers with funds from the grant. Without computer courses, science curricula become "as ob solete as the slide rule," college officials point out, and graduates are at a disadvantage in going into graduate study or apply ing for jobs. It will also be advantageous to the dual degree engineering pro gram which Livingstone has with Georgia Institute of Technology. Students involved go to Georgia Tech for two years after three or four years at Liv ingstones , ," Jim Patterson, director of- Development " at Liv ingstone, worked with Dr. Paul Baker, assistant pro fessor in the Math Depart ment; to put the proposal for the grant together and make the application. The program itself was design ed by Dr. Baker, who win serve as director, accor ding to Patterson, although College Presi dent, F. George Shipman, is listed as overall program director. The grant during the se cond year, Patterson said, will amount to just under $15,000. The College, he said, is "quite pleased with the grant. It will allow us to tremendously improve the computer teaching facilities that the college has and will open up com puter science courses to a much larger number of students than can present ly be served. "An additional part of the grant," he said, "involves allowing faculty and staff to gain some competency on computer use and to help faculty members who may not have had training on com puters to learn how to use them in day to day teaching." Livingstone already of fers computer programm ing courses and services but, its facilities are limited. "Opportunities for per sons with requisite skills in computer science," Dr. Shipman said, "are grow ing in an almost geometric progression. A priority of Livingstone College is to prepare students to live with and understand the uses, operation and poten tials of this powerful new tool." illy: 7:01 :0M:1S 7:00-9:20 Sat.ft Sun.
