Page 2 Th? Chronicle-Saturday .November 25,1978 flEMgOOOP? Washington-^-The Joint Center for Political Studies reports that the nationwide increase in the number ol black elected officials has been slowing down during the last four years. In an announcement accompanying the release of its 1978 edition of the National Roster of Black Elected Officials, the Center announced that the annual percentage increase has dropped from 17.1 per cent in 1974-75 to 4 per cent in 1^77-78. f As of July 1978, there are 4,503 blacks holding elective office in 42 states and the District of Columbia, an increase of 192 officials since the 1977 roster. Although the current figure has increased from the 1970 figure of 1,469, the center's statistics show that blacks sti# account tor tewer th&h one pel cciii uT~lhc nation's . _I!"|IUUIIIIu "11" flgp?*??~ _ " "~i7~I2 T" . ? Expressed another way, there are 20 black elected officials for every 100,000 blacks and 286 non-black officials for every 100,000 non-blacks. Louisiana is the state with the most black elected officials (333). JCPS attributed the state's increase of 57 to a change from at-large to ward or district elections at the county and city levels. ? Other states with large numbers of black elected officials are Mississippi (303), Illinois (279), Michigan (256), District of Columbia (255), North Carolina (237), South Carolina (220), Georgia (228), Arkansas (223) and ~ Califorma72T3j. CHAPEL HILL- Seven years after the publication of his "Tu? ' c 1 c uuuikuy tisiai uuvK| tut viiuilc i jauiuci l' I CllC StlUI believes that black survival is a major issue in America. He believes the tactics, however, are somewhat different. Yette was the featured speaker at the November 11 board meeting of the Southeastern Black Fress Institute which was held here in Chapel Hill. He spoke on the topic: "The Choice-- Update and Challenge to the Black Press." His audience included an array of editors, publishers, instructors, and students. * "As I see it, the monumental task facing the black press and black survival is ta insure that our people understand- that we- are_now in a state of war . . : f ; The "state of war" which Yette referred to is not a war of political imperialism, he says, but a war ot cultural " imperialism. It is an attack which is so subtle that few realize that such an attack really exists. "What we are into now is a paper war, a war of cultures" Yette continued. "Cukure is a people's style or approach to their survival and survival is the first priority of every culture. An attack on one's culture is an attack on one's right to survive.*' Also, in his speech, Yette expressed a conceni about the technological advances which are overtaking America's presses. He believes that while technology does not necessarily equal progress, it will enable the black press to compete with the white press. The reason, he states, - is that while new machinery drastically reduces the labor force of most white publications, it will help the black press, which has never been able to garnet a large work force, to function more smoothly and with greater ease. SALISBURY* N.C.-The St. Paul A.M.E. Zion Churcli in Detroit, Michigan has presented to Livingstone College a check in the amount of $1,000 dollars to be used to establish a Scholarship Fund in honor of Mrs. Hattie James, who for 35 years has been the president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of that church. Reverend William Carlton Ardrey who presented the gift to Livingstone President F. George Shipman has stated, "Mrs. James, who is the mother of eleven children, has created an atmosphere of motherhood and motherly love in our church which plervades and influences our whole congregation." "We look on her as one of the great examples of motherhood in our church; and it was the feeling of our Board of Trustees, our Stewards, and the Missionary Society that we should do something that perpetuates her memory at all times. Thus, we have established in hor n4ma ?* T * * " ' * i.v> iiaiuv nvit ai uvuigsionc ^ouege a scnoiarsmp tor any young woman who proposes to give her life to missionary work.
