contender Andrew P. Miller over Republican Senate

RALEIGH-Col. John Jenkins, State Highway Patrol
Commander, has called the Labor Day weekend one of
the most dangerous weekends of the year.
He said 145 persons have been killed during the
Labor Day weekend since 1972. Sixteen persons died
last year.
"Most people see the Labor Day holiday as their last
opportunity for a long weekend before school opens,
and they try to drive too great a distance in too short a
time," said Jenkins. "As a result, some motorists
exceed the speed limit to reach their destinatioiLll_
Jenkins said there will be stepped-up highway _
enforcement during the holiday, which lasts from
Friday, Sept. 1 to Monday, Sept. 4.
The Highway Patrol commander also offered tips to
. drivers regarding the re-opening of school. He said
motorists should either choose alternative routes to
avoid school traffic or leave home early.
~~Extra driving time can increase thechance of arriving 1
at work on time without experiencing the buildup of
emotional tension association with traffic congestion5~
said Jenkips.
-recognize that school buses traveling the streets
and highways during peak traffic hours add to traffic
congestion, but citizens must realize that these buses
are within their legal rights," said Jenkins.

planning and advancement received a grant of $25,000
from the Ford Foundation of New York to strengthen
the planning effort at the college.
Dr. Larry R. Shannon, who heads the Division of
Planning and Advancement, said the grant will allow ~
the hiring of a research assistant for planning and will s
provide some funds for consultants. "The grant is a big ?
boost for us." said Shannon. "It will allow me to spend ^
more time evaluating and interpreting data.'' (
_^Long range planning,. traditionally, associated with j
big business and industry has become just as important ^
for institutions of higher education.
"The day has past for the college that does not plan, s
said Shannon." Of the factors that have caused colleges ]
to tighten up their management functions, inflation, a j
smaller student pool and increased pressure from ,
funding agencies both public and private for stricter "j
accountability standards looms largest. g

RALEIGH-The new director of the state apprenticeship
division of the Department of Labor has pledged a <
special emphasis on recruiting minorities, women and
the handicapped for apprenticeship programs.
"We shall place special emphasis upon recruitinc
women, minorites and handicapped individuals as
apprentices and on-the-job trainees.'' said Douglas G.
Ellis, apprenticeship director.
Labor Commissioner John C. Brooks said the
appointment of Ellis, a former apprenticeship official in
Oregon, is part of a planned expansion of training
programs in thfs state.
"We are determined to expand the scope and
improve the quality of apprenticeshin training in North
Carolina," said Brooks. "If employers?^ and young
people were taking full advantage of this program, we
could have 10,000 apprentices in active training instead
of only 3,000."

Some Questl
Since the days of former President Richard Nixon
and the Watergate scandal, politics have left a bad
taste in the mouths of many Americans and
polilticians have become dirty words.
Politicians are known for being dishonest* making
promises that they can't and don't keep and for
talking out of both sides of their mouths.
However, because I try to Judge each man or
woman based on his own merit, 1 tried to sit and
listen objectively _to-the two congrwinnal ranHi.
dates, Hamilton Horton and Steve Neal at the
Chronicle's Issues Forum, Monday night at WSSU's
Student Union.
I had not formed an opinion toward the candidates
before the forum and after the forum, I felt pretty
much the same way, except that both men were very
good politicians, (if that can be considered as a
-compliment.) ?

both men seemed friendly and relaxed before the
forum, shaking hands, posing for pictures, while still
managing to do a little campaigning.
The forum was held so that the candidates could
address the issues of major concern to the black
community. Ironically at the forum blacks were only
a little more than half the crowd. There should be no
excuse why the black community didn't come out in
full force, considering that about 400 people, the
-majority of them students were out on the field
watching the Marching Rams practice. .
The forum was a good opportunity to meet and
taix to tne candidates, hear their thoughts on vital
issues of concern to the black community and a good
opportunity to become mere politically aware.
In observing and listening to remarks made during
and after the forum by members of the audience,
some felt that both men somehow managed to side

the two candidates than that and the forum was very
helpful in giving the citizen*, both black and white,
the opportunity to hear the candidates and make
their own judgments and form their own opinions.
The candidates dia ciear up some doubts in my
mind, while casting others, but by appearing on the
program the two men showed that the black
community is important enough and large enough to
warrant their attention and concern.
