Pearson. But perhaps black law., ers are better, said Hig! Point at tome} Sainmie Chess. The exchange came at a North Carolina College Conference on the Black Lawyer -md the Black Law School, sponsored last weekend by tin Law Students Civil Rights Research Council. Pearson, who presented opening remarks at tl i- confer ence. told the attending under graduates that he tad turned down an invitation to he key noted for the conference be cause he object* d to the sepa ratism !.e felt was implied b, the conference title. He warn ed the group that intolerance is as wrong as silence, and blast ' ed the “Uncle Tom’’ charges aimed at the metnbeis of his generation by the \ mincer gen eration. “The objective of the Negro after slavery was survival. The people who led that sun t. Bare now Uncle Toms. When the Black Codes were passed after Reconstruction, somebody led the Negro people through that trying time, hut today they are Uncle Toms.” “If your mother and father are of my generation, they are Uncle Toms.” The Durham attorney, a vet eran of civil rights battles In the state’s courtrooms since 1932, took aim at disruptive tactics on the college campus. “You can put it down in your book and don’t forget tt, the in stitutions are going to be run by the trustees, You can pro test, and maybe make some needed changes, but they are go ing to end up running the schools, and if you don't like it, you can get out.” I Pearson said that the color ~mnni ini in i ini urn mi ihiumii . hi >, mmi ■i»niwiinaim We Appreciate Your Business!

What difference does it make it he’s Negro, if he’s dedicated to the* cause?” “I don’t know how we can i ake up for 300 years of in justice, but 1 have this good faith in America, that all the American people want to know is how.” Chess, a generation younger than Pearson, was the keynot er, He hastened to assure Pearson, to whom he gave cred it for helping him begin his career, that he too would have refused to speak had he felt that the conference was orient ed toward separatism. “I don’t think that’s what these students have in mind. 1 see some need to put some special emphasis on the black community. I want to talk about black Institutions and individuals because I want to instill an amount of dill; ence and perseverance. “I take as my text, ‘Letdown your buckets where you are.’ If some of you knew where that phrase comes from, you would probably walk out of here, but that Is my text.” (The phrase is from Booker T. Washington's celebrated At lanta Exposition address, in which he denied that Negroes sought “social equality,”) “The struggle, as it exists today, has been brought about by the black law' schools and black lawyers - with the as sistance of many white law yers, as Mr. Pearson said. I would charge you not to feel brainwashed and feel inferior about your institution. “Don’t talk to me alout a million volume library, unless you have read that library. A million volumes don't matter a tinker’s damn. Brlckand mor tar doesn’t; Ivy hanging on the walls doesn’t; plush coffee lounges don’t. Individuals make* a law school.” “If this weren’t a black law school, you couldn’t buy the kind of training you get here. At other law schools, 200 stu dents In a class may be a small class. How is that preferable to 3,4, or 5 students in a class, with individualized instruc tion?” “You are here. Take advan tage of the opportunities that exist for you here to get an excellent education.” Chess said North Carolina College graduates are in a po sition of distinct advantage over graduates of larger schools - “perhaps because we’re not ashamed to pick up the phone and ask Conrad Pearson what we should do In a case.” “I would say the majority of white lawyers in this state don’t know anything about the fed eral courts than how io get in the building. After about ten years of practice, they are just beginning to get the feel of the law, and we have been handling every kind of case there is.” “Leroy Johnson, a grad uate of North Carolina College, has been elected as caucus leader by his fellow Fulton County, Georgia, legislators. These white legislators have chosen him because of the grace, the skills, and the man ners he learned at this law' school.” “Moses Burt, here In Dur ham, Is making law in the field of low Income housing.

GLORIA RIGGS BEE gQigL-W"■ uniww-imniMHuwniw——— Dear Mrs. Riggsbee: Last Friday I went to the health department clinic in my town and got a birth control device called the loop. The doctor gave me a booklet called “Facts About the Loop," bur It doesn't answer all of my questions and I was wondering if you could send mv any other booklets on this subject that might be able to help me. I would also like to know if there are any known eases of women becoming pregnant with an Intrauterine Device in place, since the doctor said they are not 100 F safe and this is a small worry to me. I am married and already at the age of 23 the mother of two children. This is ail we want and all we can afford, so you can see why I am a little un easy. since the loop is not completely safe, I would also like to know if during the days I am fertile it would be days to also use a vaginal foam with the loop. Hope you can answer my questions. Mrs. B. P. Dear Mrs. B. P. First of all, it is Important to understand that no method of birth control is 100 F effect ive. There will always be a cer tain number of women who will get pregnant while using any method of birth control. Some times these pregnancies are caused by method failure: the woman may have used her birth control method correctly, but for some reason It failed to protect her from unwanted pregnancy. Other times, the r»r/MTno nr.i - ie ennpoH Ki • Pumon pregnancy is caused by human failure, the woman has either neglected to use the method of birth control she has chosen, or she has used it incorrect ly. This applies to the loop, as well as to every other method wen txn i kj cvci ,y uiuci iucubai of birth control now available. There are cases of women who have become pregnant while us ing the loop. In some Instances, the loop has come out of place without the woman’s knowledge. This is the i eason your doctor probably taught you how to feel for the strings on the end of the loop. You must make sure that it is still in place in order to be protected against pregnancy. In other instances, women have become pregnant while the loop was still in place inside the vomb. This does not happen very frequently, and doctors do not know why it happens. Doc tors estimate, however, that the loop is about 95C safe. In other words, about 5 to 6 wo men out of 100 may become pregnant while using the loop. The birth control pills pro vide a little better protection Aldridge Succeeds Woodward Vs Gives Employment Services Man Herman L. Aldridge has as sumed the North Carolina Good Neighbor Council position of Employment Services Rep resentative, recently vacated by J. Richard Woodward. Wood ward Is now Director of Human Relations for the City of Dur ham. As Employment Services Representative, Aldridge will communicate job opportunities, especially in State Government, to the non - white community, encourage the employment of qualified people of minority groups, and encourage minority youth to be better trained and qualified for employment, A native of Kinston, Aldridge is a graduate of North Carolina Coliege at Durham. He has also served four years in the United States Army. Aldridge comes to the Good Neighbor Council from Wake County Opportunities, Inc., cities, all along, but It took a North Carolina College grad uate to find it.” © against pregnancy than the loop, but only when the directions for taking them are followed strict ly. Although the directions vary a little depending on the parti cular brand whicli the doctor has prescribed, the woman must usually take one pill about the same time every day for 20- 21 days, then stop taking them for about 7 days, during which time she will have her month ly bleeding. The woman who forgets to take just one pill runs a risk of becoming preg nant. If you are not having a" prob lems with the loop, I would sug gest that you continue to use :t rather than switching to another method. In your case, I think it would be a good idea to use foam during the second week of your cycle, if it will give you the feeiing of extra protection. * * * Dear Gloria Riggsbee: I am a man 46 years old who was born deaf. The woman I want to marry was also born deaf, and she is now 30 years old. Although we have been see ing each other for about 10 years, w e have not thought about marriage until now because the doctors have told us that there would be a chance that any children we might have could also be born deaf, and we do not fee! it would be fair to bring children into the world with this handicap. My question is this: since my fiancee is already 30 and her periods have stopped, can we be married without fear of hav ing any children? If there is any chance at all that she could still get pregnant, we want to know about it. Please answer my letter as soon as possible. R. L. Dear R. L.: In order to be absolutely sure that your prospective wife is past the child-bearing age, she should consult a doctor. Once a woman begins going through the menopause, or “change of life,” and has not. had a menstrual period for one year, she is not considered able to have more children. I sug gest that she see a doctor for his opinion. If he decides that there is still a possibility of her becoming pregnant, he can recommend a safe, reliable method of birth control for her to use. You might also be in terested in looking into the possibility of having a vasec tomy, or male sterilization op eration. This is a simple of fice procedure which guar antees that the man may not father any more children. At tiie same time, lie may continue to enjoy a satisfying sex life, just as before. where he was a coordinator of Manpower.
