St. Aug. Offers Management Assistance
RALEIGH Through
a joint effort of the U.S.
Department of Com
merce ' Economic
Development Ad
ministration and Saint
Augustine's College, a
program of management
and technical assistance
has been implemented to
help small busineesses
survive and regain a
competitive edge in th
market place. '
Recent studeis have
shown that small
businesses generate most
Frankly, it is not clear
just what impact the
deans' letter or the
unrest among other
members of the faculty
and administration will
have on 7 , the overall
chancellor selection pro
cess. :Y '.,;i ";
The process is fairly
cut and dried, buttressed
state law. The search
cohunittee is . to submit
two names to university
system president William
Friday office, and if
Friday doesn't reject
them, they will go before
the university system's
board of governors. The.
board of governors will
name a chancellor for
the university to replace
Whiting. . :
There doesn't appear
to be any provision in the
law by which any group,
other than' the search
committee, can have any
, impact on the process.
In reality, it is just this
. cut and dried nature of
of the new jobs int he
country today. Despiete
their vital importance to
a strong economy,
however, small firms
face many problems that
endanger their pontinued
existence. Therefore, the '
program , of service tc
small businesses coven
the broad fields . of
management . guidnce,

bienis that" beset business
today. . ;, '
To address these and
other concerns of vital
importance to small
business, ':- ' ; ' ... Saint

scheduled for managers
an owners a series of
conferences, workshops,

NCCU Chancellor
(Continued From Front)
the process that has
brewed most of the
disgruntlement.
According to business
school dean Richmond
and other faculty
members, the real pro
blem with the process is
the "narrow and limited
search committee" and
the lack of faculty input
after the search commit
tee began the screening
process.
Richmond doesn't
deny that opportunities
were given to express
what characteristics the
new chancellor should
possess, but he says no
chances were given to
monitor the process after
that. In reply, Holloway
says: "It was not their
job to be in on the
screening process."
Despite his protesta
tions, Richmond says he
doesn't think there is
widespread concern
among the faculty about
who the next chancellor
will be because most feel
they have no control
over the process anyway,
"With the people that ;
I believe to have been in
new chancellor!
Richmond, noting that
NCCU can't afford 4an
on-the-job training pro

Said Holloway:
"There are some good,
people out there waiting
tov be discovered, and I
don't think we should be
robbing other schools of
their presidents."
; "Some people would
like td see us dealing with
a Malachi Johnson or a
Benjamin Mays,"
Holloway said, "and
who knows that one of
these people won't turn
out to be like them."
"I think its been a fair
process; it's been, a dif
ficult job. I don't know
what else we could have
done to attract more
people. We advertised in
'all of the black
newspapers, and in the
Journal of Higher
Education. We called
people and told them of
the opening and we
wrote letters to all of the
(college) presidents we
could think of. We can't

acknowledged that "it is

should be a - sound
manager, have good fun
. draising capabilities, be
familier with the
academic planning pro
cess and resource alloca
tion, be able to effective
ly deal with the system's
other constituents, and
demonstrated .works of
scholarships,
Holloway said the
search committee set up
four basic criteria:
scholarship, ad
ministrative '. experience,
a capability to interact
positively with the com
munity and fundraising
ability. He said the final
four are "basically" the
best of the total pool in
those areas. i r
The deans' concerns
compound complaints
already voiced by other
faculty members and ad
ministrators over the
way a chancellors is be
ing selected.
Members of the new
N.C. Association of
Black Eductors, . ' after
failing to influence the
process, recently called
the process "secret and
under the table."
The black educators
were concerned that the
process would field so
meone who would march
blindly to the tune of
UNC's ! general 6 aoV
ministration. They want
someone that will Work
within me"r rsVsterii .
without f J r for&tingf
NCCU's rich history an
tradition as a f black
university. They want a
retention of 'most of
NCCU's unique identity
without being completely
hidden under UNC's ,
umbrella.
Then about three
. weeks- ago, a brawl
erupted in a Faculty
Senate meeting over tie
lack of information be
ing given to the faculty
and : over what one
member termed "deci
sions without faculty in
put." From the minutes of
the Faculty Senate
meeting, six faculty
members voiced objec
tions to' the whole search
process, and much of it
centered on a lack of
communication between
the faculty and its two
search committee
representatives.
The Faculty Senate is a
55-member body
representing all campus
departments. The facul
ty's representatives on
the search committee are
Dr. Authrell Sanders,
chairman of the Faculty
Senate and John A.
Myers, a professor in the
chemistry department.
After ( concerns were
expressed, the Senate
passed a motion direc
ting Dr. Sanders to call a ,
meeting of the faculty as '
a whole for them to vott
on whether to accept, re
ject or prioritize the.
finalists. , , '
Dr. Sanders couldn't
be reached for comment
so when she will call the
meeting-isn't clear, but
the meeting' should help
determine i just how
widespread dissent is
; overtfie chancellor selec
tion process among the
, faculty.

be considered tough customers."
j Add to this, most experts in fraud investigations
say the fact that women are inclined to believe the
best about people, and are also usually looking for
ways to come up. with some extra money, or a
, "good deal", and you have a potential con game
victim waiting to be fleeced.
'H Elderly people ' are ? also among a con artist's
favorite victims.
4 i They tome at you from all directions, such as of
fiers to buy space iri'retirement villages and aipart
'roent complexes that either don't exist, or the com
pany is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy and
can't deliver the space. Some con artists even offer
you .insurance policies that sound like good deals
until you read the tine print which is often too fate.
But one j of the most successful con games run
against the elderly is the famous bank examiner
scam, mentioned earlier, involving Mrs. Morris.
In this trick, a well-dressed, articulate and of
ficial looking pair of men will appear at your door,
flash an official looking setof identification and
proceed to tell you about a thieving bank teller they
are trying to catch. Sometimes the con artists pose
as bank examiners, sometimes as bank officials.
But their story really sounds good as they ask you to
help them catch this thief .
What they want you to do to help is to draw out
your savings, give it to them sohey can mark the
bills, put the.money where the thieving teller can get
to it, and wait to catch the crook red-handed.
The money, of course, is supposed to be returned
to you and redeposited as soon as they catch the
thief. But, of course, the last time you see these nice
gentlemen k when they head "to the bank" with
your money.
Recently, there have been several new variations
of this con game cropping up around the country,
according to fraud investigators.
One variation, particularly in large cities with
busy banks, involved a con artist dressed as a
security guard, who will approach a customer in a
long line, "recognize", them as a preferred
customer and offer to expedite the transaction. The
guard. leads you to comfortable seat, takes your
money, and heads to the counter to make the
deposit, or whatever. But as soon as you're not ;
looking, he heads for the door.
In the third example mentioned earlier, Paul is
about to succumb to an old scam called
i "slumming". In this game, the con artist buys an
industrial or manmade "diamond" ring, and when
he approaches you he either tries to get ybu think it
is stolen, or he gives you a hard luck story about '
lost love, etc., and coaxes you into thinking that
you can actually "get" a $1000 diamond ring for
ten per cent of its value or less. In some instances,
the con artist will scratch glass with the stone, ,
anything to convice you the diamond is more than a
bauble that retails most places for less than $25.
With times getting harder, people seem to be even
more susceptible to con games than ever before,
and believeit, the con artists have a game for

ORTHOPEDIC PRESCRIPTIONS
(Continued from Front)
wnatever deal you think you want.
Want a credit card without having to go through i
9f credit check? 1
Well, there's a New York firm that specializes in
this scam. They charge you a $100 service fee for
one card, either MasterCard or Visa, or $150 for
both, and they do arrange for you to get a card, ;
without a credit check. But it turns out that you
have to deposit the credit limit in a bank account.
The firm is currently being investigated by the
New York Attorney General.
,Anpthcr. rgame that is beginning to crop up
arouna the country bases its success on the fact that
many people are having a hard time making credit
purchases because of high interest rates and bad
credit ratings. So some "firms" are offering to sell
major appliances and other large ticket items for
considerable discounts, provided the total price is
paid in cash.
But once you've paid your money, waited several
days or weeks past the supposed delivery date,
you'll often find that "company's" phone is,
disconnected and there's no one at the address on
their letterhead.
Job hunters have also become prime scam can
didates. In the New York area, for example, one . con
game advertises that at least 80 per cent of the ex
ecutive, administrative and professional jobs in the
area are not advertised. Then the ad asks you to
send your resume if you are interested in a position
that pays between $18,000 and $25,000 annually.
You pay a small fee, but don't get a job, and
most of the time you don't even get an interview.
But all con games are not aimed at adults.
Teenagers are potential victims, too.
One popular con game aimed at teenagers that
has had some outstanding success in the southeast
starts with a classified ad:
Models wanted. No experience necessary. Con-'
tact...
You contact them, get an appointment and go
down to find out that you're just what they need.
You pay the $100 registration fee.
Then you find out that you're so beautiful or
handsome that, of course, you need a portfolio,
which they will gladly shoot and process for you for
.'ust a couple hundred dollars. And then, just to give
yourself an edge over the competition, you should
take a few courses in hair style, posture, walking,
etc., which they will teach you for just a few more
hundred dollars. And on it goes until they get all the
money you can scrape, steal and borrow. Then they
tell you you've got to go out and get your own
modeling jobs.
So everybody is a potential target, the young, the
old, the low income, the rich, the smart and well
educated, the smart and not so well-educated.
The market for con victims is so wide and varied
because as Captain Allen says: "All people who get.
:onned appear to have one or two things in com
mon greed and a trusting nature."
Thus, if you want to get over, get something for
nothing and have a trusting nature and have not
been conned, hang on, they're coming.
