Clive Kinsley, managing director of South African Associated Newspapers, said recently that the 83-year-old Mail lost $7.5 million in 1984 and about $23 million during the last 10 years. 2'^Alnfibst tWo^hirds of The Mail's readers are black.

Meese made the statements during a March 15 news conference. He said that it is generally recognized in educational and legal circles that busing has had little effect in terms of improving education. In some cases, Meese said, busing has undercut the integration already achieved. Meese also said quotas are improper under the law. Instead, he said, he wants contractors to widen their fields of hiring, make available to minorities information about employment opportunities and provide training programs.

The Southern African Society of Journalists said recently that the closing of The Mai/ will silence one of the country's bravest newspapers, one which has a long history of opposition to the South African government. The publication closes at a time when the South African government says it is introducing voliintary chances in its rarial ^/VIIVIV J During the mid-1970s, The Mail revealed that the South African government was using a secret fund to buy influence and favorable publicity for South Africa abroad. An investigation led to the fall of South African Prime Minister John Vorster's government. and calls quotas unfair general for civil rights, William Bradford Reynolds, whose approach to affirmative action has been attacked by many civil rights leaders. Ralph Neas, executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, said Reynolds is "a rigid ideologue who has seized every opportunity to weaken our civil rights laws." Meese said in a recent interview that he supports Reynolds' interpretation of a 1984 Supreme Court ruling that said judges could not interfere with a legitimate seniority system to protect blacks from being laid off from the Memphis Fire Department. Reynolds has argued that the ruling applies not only to layoffs but to hiring and promotion as well. He says that the ruling means that courts cannot order preferential treatment on the basis of sex or race exceot to cnmnen^atp amial victimc i^f discrimination. its mount legal campaign tor. According to a fetter written to the Association ol Independent Colleges and Schools from the studeni group, graduates of the business college cannot gei jobs because the school's graduation retirement? are too low to meet the needs of the job market. Rutledge College Director Thomas Wilson saic the student's charges are not well founded and thai the college received accreditation from the Associa tion of Independant Colleges and Schools on Jan 18, 1985. He said the school received an above average rating in all but two categories. Wilson says the students are actually upset aboui the recent firing of an instructor who was a favorite of the students at Rutledge. Wilson refused tc discuss details of the firing, but said he would noi change his policy for "six students, when we knou we're right." wk in store robbery tKp each r^crict#?r anrl frvrcprl thp rlprV to 11 f Hnu/n rv v?iv v vuj 11 i v^iuwi t* 11 vi i v/i vvv* iiiv vivi r% % vr % %/?? * w i the floor.

RANKIN Chronicle Staff Writer Q: I am on the Cambridge Diet and one of my friends told me it can cause cancer. Is this true? Can you give me some information about the diet? A: No, that particular diet does not cause cancer. However, diets of this type can be bad for certain people, according to Shirley Amen, a registered dietitian at Forsyth Hospital. "It '5 a low-calorie diet/' Amen says. "If you follow the diet as outlined, you wilt consume a total of 330 calories a da v. From a nutritionist's stand point, that is not good." Amen says diets that provide fewer than 1,000 calories per day can put the body in a starvation state, forcing it to burn protein and fat for calories, which results in weight loss. But "the body is not taking in enough carbohydrates on a diet of this type,"she says. Amen adds that this may result in a loss of energy or sluggishness. She says people with any kind of medical problem should not follow a low-calorie diet. "Anyone who wishes to diet should consult her doctor and then talk to a registered dietitian, "she says. "Your body needs a certain ratio of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to operate properly." Amen says the minimum number of calories a person needs per day will vary with age and sex. The bottom line is usually about 1,000 calories, she says, which can drop as low as 800 calories under a doctor's care. "Low-calorie diets are quick-fix solutions ? the weight will usually come back when the* dieter The Winston-Salem Chronicle is published every Thursday by I 4% the Winston-Salem Chronicle I Publishing Company, Inc., I 617 N.

Q: I'm interested in going to college next year bin I know I cannot afford the total tuition. Who can 1 talk to locally who can tell me about filing for financial aid? Also, how much aid can 1 expect? A: Marion Simpson, a guidance counselor at Last Forsyth Senior High School, says there are several financial aid opportunities for prospective college students, and all a student needs to do is ask about them She says a student's high school guidance counselor or a college financial aid officer can tell the student about the many financial aid opportunities on the federal. state and college level. The student must complete a need analysis form so he will be considered for the different financial aid programs, Simpson says. These forms are available at high school guidance counselors' of t ii i*. , >a jices ana college jinanciai aid ojjices. A student will be required to give information about his or her family's income, property owned, taxes paid and financial circumstances, according to Simpson. Usually, the lower his family income, she says, the more financial aid a student may receive. "Certain institutional programs are determined by a student's grades, proposed major in college or hometown," she adds. Simpson says financial aid is available for twoyear colleges, four-year colleges and universities, technical and business schools, and community colleges.
