NAACP buys stock to h
NEW YORK ? NAACP Executive Director Benjamin
L. Elooks announced recently that he is purchasing stock
in 50 corporations to provide the association with a voice
for challenging the private sector's racial policies in
stockholder meetings.
"We will have a voice at some of these places where
decisions about our lives are made," said Elooks. "We
will be present at stockholders meetings to raise these
issues and demand responsive, positive answers."
Eldoks made the announcement during a recent college
commencement exercise.
A primary thrust of the NAACP is to build linkages

MOSCOW -- The Soviet Union has denounced pop
star Michael Jackson as a singer who has sold his soul for
& white profit and has become a servant of the Reagan administration
by keeping the American public's mind off
the country's problems.
"This great show biz swindle known as 'The Thriller'
has given rise to a kind of euphoria," the official Sovyetskaya
Kuhura (Soviet Culture) newspaper said last week.
"The attention of Americans today is riveted to that
'long-awaited wonder.' Millions of teen-agers talk only
about Jackson, about his songs, his income, his clothes."
Jackson's music is banned in Russia.
The article charged Jackson with mesmerizing
Americans and keeping them from thinking aboui
political topics that would make the Reagan administra
tion uncomfortable.
The paper also accused Jackson of ignoring racism anc

Migraine headact
Q: My mother and father-in-law suffer from migrain
headaches and so do my husband and I. Are migraine
hereditary, and if so, what are the chances that m
children will suffer from them?
O.E
A: A migraine, which is from a Latin word meanin
"pain in half of the head," is an excruciatingly painfi
type of headache that does tend to run in families. If bot
parents have them, chances afe~that most of the
children will have them.
Actually, migraine is the name for several types of ver
painful headaches, but the one that most often runs i
families is called the classic migraine. In childhood, sue
problems as car sickness or a periodic Munder-th
weather" feeling may be indicators of future migraine a
tacks, according Dr. Russell Salton, a Charlotte fami
physician. Attacks may start early in life and continue i

NAACP seeks to encourage major corporations to use
black business resources, talent and professionals.
The NAACP will also take vigorous stands on environmental
issues and questions of corporate social
responsibility, technology transfers and workforce
displacements due to technological factors, said Hooks.
"We are graduating from the college of survival," he
said of the NAACP's new thrust. "Our graduation ... is
not the result of easy living, but of struggle and
perseverance and necessity."
Compainies in whose policies Hooks intends to have a
voice include the major oil concerns, banks, automobile
manufacturers and others on the Fortune 500 list.
