Durham IliehN football team beat Roxborn-Person 16-12 at Counl Stadium. PMHh " Jim Won NCCU Celebrates Homecoming; Other Locals Hit The Road By FJson Armstrong, Jr. This Saturday is Halloween but all area teams feel like they were bewitched last Saturday. They all took losses. This week, they're all hoping for a treat rather than another ugly weekend of defeat. North Caorlina Cen tral University is the only team that has the luxury of playing at home. The Eagles take the field for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff against Bowie State. This game is special because it's Homecoming for the Eagles. If that's not enough for a sellout, the contest is also a key game for NCCU. A win will keep them in first place in the CIAA South. Duke will journey to Atlartta for a game with Georgia Tech. It will renew one of the oldest Reports Cite (Continued From Pae 1) funding which, accor ding to the report, "is likely to be most troublesome to the states. While ,the,f con ciliation. Act gives the states the authority to decide how to apportion the funds, it gives the states less money to do it with. The largest cuts, ac cording to the report, were not due to block grant consolidation but were instead due to eligibility changes in en titlement programs. "Entitlement pro grams are those in which individuals who meet the program's criteria have a right to receive benefits. Reductions in entitle ment programs such Food Coupons and AFDC were made in directly by making stricter eligibility re quirements. For exam ple, a mother working forty hours per week on a minimum wage job is no longer eligible for Aid to Families with Depen dent Children benefits, even though their earned income is below the na tional poverty level. An estimated 37,000 persons will be eliminated1 'from the' AFDC 1 program statewide (7,000 in Durham County) as a result of rules changes. The Food Coupon pro gram, AFDC and Medicaid are all being reduced by the institu tion of tougher re quirements. State and local , officials are presently preparing reports that will indicate the full impact of all reductions. In addition to cuts achieved by block grant consolidation and tougher requirements, there are reductions in programs that are ad ministered independently from state .government, affecting many North Carolinians. Examples cited in the report are Social Security and Disability programs and Legal Aid. Also, in terest rates on loans to students and farmers have been increased.

State goes to Columbia to face a South Carolina squad which is still sky high after their shocking win over UNC in Chapel Hill. For State, it's a pivotal game.
