Potts, Dr. A. J. Williams and Thomas Watkins. Women’s Revolution continued from Page 2 have to agree with any thing. When and if the male decides to leave, she'll help him pack. Consequently, today’s women, by being indepen dent, have become a threat to men. However, the marriage conflict is due to men. Because today’s men are unwilling to accept the fact that this is a new day and that women are to be work ed with and not dominated. Fflrhinfllolu f Ikinlr tko trouble is no more than an adjustment. Once this transition period passes both men and women will settle down and work to gether once again. Slowly but surely today’s men are getting used to not being spoiled. Eventually, he will come around. I am, personally, proud of the women’s revolution. What is least understood is that the new found inde pendence by women makes them less vulnerable to hardship in the later years. A female that is totally dependent on her spouse finds herself shortchanged in her later years if her spouse dies, flies the coup, or whatever. By not pre paring themselves for a future for themselves they find out that if left by themselves they have no future. Being a mother, being a wife are all lovely things to be, but they aren't careers. Pooped party goer - Birthday celebrant Rashard Hill, 1-year-old last Sunday, just couldn’t "HANG” any longer at a party given in his honor by his mother, Deborah Hill of 1719 Merriman Ave. Rashard, with party hat and baby bottle, "sacked out” after a busy afternoon leaving grand parents Alvin and Betty Hill, and guests Lakema Young, Charlie Gallmond, Jr., Mekicalo Byrd, Chasity Bowers, Tomeka, Jade Curry, and Erika Curry, to “Go for themselves.” (Photo by Jerry Curry) I ECO Seeking Volunteers By Susan Ellsworth Post Staff Writer “Of the more than 100,000 ex-offenders released from prison each year, 70 per cent will return to prison - 30 percent within a year after their release.” (H.E. Becker .The Outsiders: Stu dies in the Sociology of Deviance.) The recently revived ECO (Ex-Convicts Organ ization) is attempting to change that by helping former inmates better ad just to prison life and prepare those who soon will be paroled. Volunteers are needed. A meeting will be held Mon day, June 16 at 7 p.m. in the ECO office located at 200 W. Trade St. in the base ment of First Presbyterian Church to acquaint people with the new program. And an open house will be held June 17 from 10 a m. - 4 p.m. . “North Carolina has 81 prison units," according to Dennis Schrantz, ECO’s director, “and one-tenth of all prisoners are from Mecklenburg County.” Among the 1,200 Mecklen burg residents, 70 percent are black,” he added. IMdhvyn McDuffie Receives Law Degree Nellwyn Joan McDuffie was graduated recently from the North Carolina Central University Law School in Durham, N.C. She is the daughter of Mrs. Jane Stovall McDuffie of 1428 Dean Street in Char lotte. Ms. McDuffie completed her undergraduate studies at Spelman College in Georgia. She has won awards repeatedly for the Moot Court competition. The Charlotte native also attended Charlotte Catho lic High School and Garinger High. She is presently prepar ing to take the Bar exam. - Cut Heating Cost Gosing off rooms that are seldom used will cut heating or air conditioning costs. The door should be well-sealed against air passing over the threshold. “Inmates need contact with the outside world prior to their release,” Schrantz emphasized. His new program offers crisis counseling for ex offenders covering employ ment, job objectives and readiness, and securing the basic necessities. Schrantz predicted an ex offender will lose three jobs during the first year be cause of his difficulty in coping with non-prison life. Inmates soon to obtain parole can benefit from field counseling services and volunteer and family visitation. “Most prisoners have no visitors nor do they receive letters,” he said. “Contact motivates prisoners.” The old ECO program folded when CETA (Com prehensive Employment Training Act) funds were not renewed. Schrantz redesigned ECO as a project for a B.A. degree in human develop ment and has since become its director. A governor's special grant is financing the first five months. If the pro gram is successful, federal funds are assured for an additional seven months, Schrantz said. lapping alternative funding sources is part of the new ECO program, thus reducing its depen dence upon federal grants. The former counselor said he took old ECO’s mistakes and "devised a program that could get funded.’’ What was wrong with the old ECO? "It lacked policies and procedures. The agency didn't become a bureau cracy. It has to be a bureaucracy to get fund ing,” he explained. Schrantz is encouraging people to attend the meet ing and learn what kinds of volunteer work are avail able. He stressed, “it can fill a need on their part to do something worthwhile... and extensive training is -NOW OPEN THE UPSTAIRS LOUNGE DISCO * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Comer Of 10th & Graham St. Featuring 0 r Nitely Disco Wed. thru Sun. 9 PM Until Go™55 <\.
