"Black youth need to
respond to their situation
in a very pragmatic man

the issues themselves, no
one will do it for them."
predicts Clark White, a
black sociologist who
has done extensive
research on rates of

commentator of NBC
TV's recent White
Paper, "America

"Given the condition

private sector for pro

"Young people should
participate at the grass

clout at the local level
and be able to determine
the outcome of elections
and the implementation
of various manpower

He believes elected of

"Black youth have to
be taught political values
that will move them
beyond the traditional
solutions that usually
blame the victim rather
than the structural
causes of the victim's
problems.
"Black youth should
also be taught to realize
that the world economy
is in a state of rapid
change and it affects
their lives."
According to recent
statistics released by the
U.S. Department of
Labor, the unemploy

"Unemployed black

continuesv
"Not all of them carry

tack innocent people. A
large percentage of them
attend school on a
regular basis and par
ticipate in church and
community activities."
However, there is one
thing all blacks have in
common the difficulty
of getting a job.
Since 1954, black
youth have experienced
one of the highest rates
of unemployment for
any grpup in the labor
market. Data from the
U.S. Department of
Labor's Bureau of Labor
Statistics show that the
unemployment rate for
black teenagers doubled
from 16.5 per cent in
1954 to 36.9 per cent in
1975.
Between 1975 and
1977, White says the
black teenage unemploy
ment rate was approx
imately forty per cent.
White made a study of
black youth unemploy
ment in the Detroit area
before arriving at Tem
ple and found that in
1980, unemployment in
the Detroit standard
metropolitan statistical
areas was 62 per cent.
In addition to
unemployment, White

Misconceptions About
Colds Outlined
By Parker Herring
"When you were a
child, your grandmother
probably warned you,
"Don't get chilled, you
may catch cold."
Well, grandma was
right about chills and
colds, says a Duke
University Medical
Center physician, but for
the wrong reason.
"A chill really has
nothing to do with giving
you a cold," said Dr.
Charles Ellenbogen, an
associate professor in the
Division of Infectious
Diseases. "But a chill is
the first thing you may
feel when you're getting

OFFICIALS
(Continued From Front)
Probably the most
noteworthy fact about
the number and distribu
tion of black elected of
ficials is their stability.
Since 1976, the rate of,
growth has been relative
ly low, and the distribu
tion geographically and
by level of office has
changed little. Milton
Morris, director of
research at the Joint
Center, said of this
year's findings. "While
the continued growth in
the number of black
elected officials is en
couraging, its pace can
only be a cause for con
cern in view of the
massive disparities bet
ween the proportion of
offices held by blacks
and the proportion of
blacks in the population
as a whole."
