The black members of the
Citizens' Committee for a New
Coliseum met recently with
"TMayor Wayn^ ATCorpening and
pro-coliseum Officials to discuss
ways to attract plack votes in the
upcoming coliseum bond referendum
on June 25. \
Patrick Hairston\ a vice chairman
of the committee and the
president of the local NAACP
chapter, called the special
meeting because he said the traditional
ways the entire
127-member committee suggested
of informing voters about the
bond referendum "will not work
in the black community."
The entire committee had planned
to set up a speakers bureau
and have the speakers go to
neighborhoods to explain the
pro-coliseum posture. Also, two
pro-coliseum mass mailings had
been planned to all registered
voters.
But the blacks who met with
the mayor decided that some
special strategies were needed in
the black community, which has
given only lukewarm support to
the new coliseum.
Those strategies include more
thaptj$(MX)0 leaflets which will explaifc
why black* in the community
JnfWId Vbte for the coliseum
bonds, say blacks on the coliseum
committee.
Rodney J. Sumler, owner of
Associate Consultants Inc. and a
member of the local Black
Republican Council, will coordinate
the black media effort for
the coliseum.

expansion, will now have to get
used to a $3.2 million facility
with its Olympic-sized swimming
pool, sauna, steam room,
Nautilus exercise equipment and
other features. Excited YMCA
workers don't think it will take
them very long.
Wave after wave of potential
members poured in to take a look
at the new facility during tours on
June 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
"People have been coming
<iown all day," one of the tour
guides said.

Even on the first day, people
took advantage of the indoor
pool and the gym hosted a hodgepodge
of activities.
"This Y will offer good, planned
programs for all our young
folk/' said County Commissioner
Mazie Woodruff during a
visit Friday.
A certified Y exercise instructor
will show people how to use
the $60,000 Nautilus equipment.
The pool has six lanes, is well
lit - unlike the old Patterson
Avenue pool -- and will be supervised
by certified lifeguards to ensure
that everyone has a good,
safe time.
The new facility has a
urethane-covered basketball
court which can be transformed
into two shorter courts for different
uses. The basketball court
can also be used for indoor track,
say staff members.
In addition, the Winstoa.L&ke
facility features 1 a
daycare/nursery area for toddfers
and small children. h,

The black media campaign will
show how the coliseum will create
jobs for blacks, how the city has
addressed housing needs and how
the coliseum bonds are not likely
to increase taxes, Hairston said.
Pro-coliseum advertisements
featuring black members of the
committee will be on aired on
radio stations WAAA and
WSMX, both of which are blackowned,
the group decided.
Ads also are planned to appear
in the Chronicle concerning the
bond referendum.
Local black organizations such
as the NAACP, the Black
Political Awareness League
(BPAL) and the Black Leadership
Roundtable will endorse the
pro-coliseum campaign, say the
blacks on the committee.
The committee hopes to
distribute pro-coliseum information
targeted to the black community
by next week.
Hairston said the NAACP,
BPAL and the Black Leadership
Roundtable plan a mass mailing
closer to the election to sway
black residents to vote for the
coliseum.
Hairston said he opposed two
previous coliseum bond referendums
but he supports this one. "I
never really opposed the coliseum,'
The said. "1 know that we
do need a new coliseum. I
* - thoughr that - housing * iend jobs
should take precedent over a coliseum.'
'
He said the city has a $2
million housing program and
plans to spend SI.3 million on
housing during future years.
"The city cannot build a $24
million coliseum without blacks

built by Fowler-Jones Construction
Co.
Membership rates vary from
$35 per-year to $200 per year,
depending on the age of the
member and the type of benefits
he desires. There is a special rate
for senior citizens and familtes.
Norman E. Joyner, executive
director of the new facility, said
his primary goal is to attract
families.
He also wants the new YMCA
to be a center of community activity.
w
"This is a community
YMCA," Joyner said. "We
would like for this building to be
the focal point of the black community."
He said the new building will
create about 40 summer jobs for
local youth. It is manned by a
regular staff of 15 full-time and
10 part-time employees, he added.

did what," Burke said.
Sumler said innovative
methods will have to be used to
impress voters.
The black committee members
decided to target the young voter,
rather than the church voter and
senior citizens, as has been done
in previous referendums.

this summer on its daycamp and
kindercamp program, its aquatic
programs and its adult fitness
programs.
"In the fall, we may go into
programs and seminars which
deal with human needs," he said.
Joyner said the Y can provide
space for educational programs
on such topics as social services,
family life and teen-age pregnancy.
Moving back to the subject of
its physical benefits, he said the Y
hopes to have a par course by the
end of the summer.
He envisions lots of people using
it and the rest of the facilities.
"We hope to have a large
membership," Joyner said. "If
we can get 500 during the summer
and between 1,500 to 2,000 by the
end of the year, that would be a
worthy goal."
He said 1,500 to 2,000
members would keep the Y in
good financial territory.

'The new coliseum will cause
new business to come to the
city."
In order to sell the coliseum
idea to blacks in Winston-Salem,
Hairston said, "... We will have
to almost go door to door on this
thing."
He said 50,000 yes votes would
probably assure the bond referendum
passing.
"We will Jiave to assure blacks
there will be no tax increase, jobs
will be created and housing needs
will be met," he said.
William Tatum, another black
member of the committee, said
many blacks in the community
have linked proposed enabling
legislation, which would allow
the aldermen to set goals for
minority hiring on city projects,
and the coliseum bond referendum.
"Blacks on the committee will
have to dispel these ideas," he
said.
The committee discussed the
lack of total community backing
on the proposed bill, which also
has displeased some blacks.
Northeast Ward Alderman Vivian
H. Burke said Rep. Annie
Brown Kennedy, the bill's cosponsor,
should tell blacks in the
community about the backing
