According to Ms. Copeland, this somehow reestablish that.' On that .point, Ms. Sandra Belfon, a NCCU psychology instructor and also a planning com mittee member, com mented: "Black people tend to be crisis oriented, and we have been lulled to sleep, mostly by the media, to think that all is going well.

"The role of the police in the 'core black com munity', is not the same as the police's role in the white community," said Ms. Lee.

Fundraising efforts are going into the final leg now as the band seeks to build upon & proven track record of representing North Carolina in par ticular Durham and the Durham Gty Schools. According to the director, Clarke Egerton, the band now needs about $7,000 to reach the trip's total cost of about $30,000. Hillside's 160-member band received a special in-. vitation from the Disney World Resort Complex to play during that famous resort's tenth anniversary parade and to give a ten minute concert in the -sprawling theme park. But the band has to foot the : bill for the trip. On the return trip from Orlando, Florida, the band plans to visit the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee; After 7fte Carolina Times first reported the band's drive to help defray the trip's cost, Egerton said, citizens steadily contributed. In that first report, the trip's cost was estimated at $25,000, but Egerton said actual costs of transportation and lodging exceeded earlier estimates. So the band is asking the community to dig just a little deeper to help it over this last hurdle. . One way to help the world famous Hillsidt Band pay for four buses, three nights of lodging and some meals is to plan to eat at McDonald's on May 1 . On that day, the fast-food restaurant will give the band fifty cents of every one dollar coupon receiv ed. Coupons can be purchased at Hillside (but NOT, on the McDonald's lot) and will be honored only at the Chapel Hill Boulevard location. The band will also give a 45 minute concert in the parking area of the store beginning at 2:30 p.m. For more informa tion the band room number is 688-9091. One can also help the band by sponsoring a stu dent at a cost of $140, or by submitting a contribu tion in any amount. Checks should be made payable to the Hillside Band Parents Organization and should be mailed to: Mrs. Medessa Justice, the group's treasurer, 2109 Concord St., Durham, N.C. 27707.

According . to Mrs. Moore, there are three primary reasons for the will receive recognition effort.

Recognition also is a type of recruitment tool, because it encourages people to volunteer, and the process also helps the agencies or programs have higher visibility across the community. -This year's recipients of both the "key (Continued on Page 3) By Milton Jordan Durham will give its top volunteers a hearty "thank you", Tuesday, April 20, at its ninth an nual Volunteer Recogni tion Luncheon at Duke Memorial Methodist Church.
