6 THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH. N. C„ SATURDAY, AUGUST 9. 1969 Foul Play R»!e<i Out In Rev. King’s Death, Sot Suspicions Linger ATLANTA-(NPI)-The coron er has ruled out foul play In the drowning death of the Rev. A. D. Williams King, biother of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But just whai cause Rev. King's death remained an open question, as a Black neighbor said she saw a white man run ning through the woods behind the King home 15 minutes be fore the minister’s body was discovered. Also stirring suspicions was the fact that Rev. King was to have co-led a demonstration against the Atlanta Linen Serv ice on the day of his death. Thus, there is understand able reluctance to regard Rev. King’s death as just an ac cident—in the wake of the slaying of Dr. King, Medgar Evers, and other Black leaders. It is speculated that Rev. King drowned after suffering either a heart attack or the GLASSES Visit us in our new loca tion. Free adjustment to any glasses.

Shaw University Will Train Feme Corps Volunteers For Africa Area Shaw University is provid ing 17 young Americans their first impressions of a forth coming two-;.ear tour of duty with the Peace Corps in Kenya. TK trainees spent three days of administrative and Medical staging prior to commencement of tran ing for agriculture pro grams in Kenya. The first six weeks of training is taking place at neat t -. Kittrell College. Ap nroxirnately two of the six weeks training was conducted at Shaw. Following their stay at Kittrell, they will depart for Kenya to spend another eight weeks in training befoie assignment to their post. An unusual feature of this program is that for the first time. agricultural officers coming directly from Kenya will be involved in the train ing. Eighteen Kenyans are serv ing on the training staff, gather ed by Volunteer Training Speci alists, Incorporated, a private corporation, formed by return ed Peace Corps Volunteers. The trainees were recruited from throughout the United States and possess widely vari ed backgrounds Some are high g trained technicians, others experienced agriculturists, v nil? still others are collage graduate generalists. They will work as veterinarian assist ants, fishery specialist, fores try specialists, agriculture ex tension agents, 4-K (the Ken van eqrt -alent of 4-H) special ists and ranching and water* development specialists. At Kitfreii and Shaw, the trainees will receive an in troduction to Kenya, its peo ple and cultures and an inten se, <■> foundation in Swahili, the principle language of Kenya. Os the eighteen Kenyans working on the. training staff, eleven have come directly from Kenya for this program, four are students in the United States and three are college lecturers: in Kenya and Ameri ca. This project will be Shaw’s first official contact with the Peace Corps. The program will be expanded to full training re sponsibility during the 1969’- 70 academic year. The fall program will con sist of training for one hun dred (100) volunteers for teach ing positions in Kenya. An experiment in Peace Corps recruiting, the Kenyan Education Project at Shaw, will t>e specifically oriented toward the black student. Eric Krystall, an associate professor in sociology at the University and originator of the Kenyan Education Project, said "This project will incornorato all three aspects of the current Peace Corps experience and add a fourth, returned volunteer placement and follow-through. Thus, it will be an attempt at integrating the entire Peace Corps experience Into the fu ture life plans of its partici pants.” He added, "The four components: Recruitment, training, service and placement will be closely related and link ed throughout the entire experi - ence by close cooperation be tween the contractors and Peace Corps personnel involved at various periods of the pro gram.” Mr. Krystall, who is a white South African, living in exile in the United States, has been called a “South African Re volutionary,” says that one of the main reasons for tills kind of program was that "Re cruitment of significant num bers of black Peace Corps vo lunteers has been and continues to be a failure, partially be cause of certain recruitment techniques currently used, and because of the circumstances confronting Mack graduates in a .still discriminatory society.” He feels that ‘‘ The Peace Corps can never expect to have any significant recruiting im pact at predominantly black institutions or among black stu dents at any institution until it is able to interact effective ly with minorities,” He main tains that Peace Corps must provide the environment for black recruits and volunteers which shows (hat Peace Corps We’ve made a new mark In banking.

More than 30,000 people, young and old, have partici pated in center-sponsored pro grams since their inception last the philosophy and techniques employed by Peace Corps and VTSI. The training cycle will consist of twelve (12)weeks; ten (10) weeks at the training site and two (2) weeks living with rural families in North Caro lina. Physical location of the train ing project will be at Shaw Uni versity’s Southgate campus which is centrally located a round Warren, Franklin, Vance and Wake Counties. Shaw will be adding a number of faculty members and administrative personnel to conduct this pro gram and future Peace Corps programs. Dr, King V. Cheek, Jr., presi dent of Shaw, said, “The goal of Shaw in entering the field of Peace Corps training is to provide trainees with an experience which will help them to understand the diversity of ’ur society. This understanding "i.. 1 make them more sensitive to the needs of others so that Uieo may lx? of greater service while in Kenya. As teachers, they will rave to relate to the children and their families. A mericans have much to teacli Africans, while at the same time learning much from Africans.” Fail. Thirteen police officers serve at the centers along with dozens at volunteers from the community. The bill of fare at each can ter there are four, with double that number expected by the end of the year does ntX follow a traditional script for most community centers. Ice cream, free movies, clothing distribution, bookmo biles, prenatal car for expect ant mothers, immunization for pre-school age youngsters and counseling are part of the varied menu each center of fers. A police spokesman said the centers, which are locat ed throughout the Black communi ty, perform multiple services in an effort to aid the disad vantaged in the neighborhoods. The Memphis program is the most advanced of its kind in the South, according to police officials. An important purpose of the program is to create a better understanding between the pub lic and police, and to open lines of communications. The police-community serv ice centers, a project of the department’s Community Re lations Bureau, operates at a minimal budget. The communi ty bears most of the financial burden via donations. The REUNION DAY policemen, who draw their re gular salaries, are the only paid staff at the centers. The War on Poverty Committee (WOPC) provides a stenographer. The community furnished the facul ties. The centers, which operate all-year-round, are open six days a week. "There was some suspicion when we first entered the com munity,” said Lt. R. j. Tur ner, program supervisor. "The people thought we were setting up a spy network. Our chal lenge became one of selling the policedepartment’s good in tentions and trying to create a new image. We like to think we are succeeding.” Counseling is a big part of the program. Police officers advise and counsel adults and youngsters in su c h matters as finding jobs. An employ ment officer visits the centers weekly to gather applications. Recreational activities are availavle at the centers -- dances, sporting events, and cultural pursuits are on the agenda. More than 600 young sters are taking part in a youth athletic league. * ' Since the oldest center at 1310 Florida St. has lieen operat ing, the crime rate has drop ped 60 per cent in the immedi ate area, according to Lt.
