Black Campuses Developing' Intellectual Elitism ’ -Jesse Jackson /**— mi Hum . L _, „ TARHEEL ELKS A ' ( •ZJ o\ ini ygr S*. ' n MOY \Y* r T Publicity Director This is the weekend that the Tarheel group has been wait ing for, when they hold their first meeting in their National Shrine down at Winton, thanks to the Grand Exalted Ruler Hob son R, reynolds, who has made it. possible for us to realize our dream. The only thing you can get from any of the Elks and Daughters around the state, is, "I will see you at the mid year conference,' 1 on 13th and 14th of November, attheShrine. I saw our State Treasurer, Brother, E. M. Butler, while he was here last week, attend ing the General Baptist Con vention, and the first thing he said was “I am sure you will be at the Mid-Winter Confer . ence, in Winton,” and the same i thing came from Fx-State President, K. P. Battle, of Clin ton, and James T. Hawkins of Durham, so it looks like there will be a record-breaking crowd in attendance. Asew 1 days ago, I had a chance to speak with Mrs. Annie T. Miller and Mrs. C. B. Ligon at the Golden Anniversary Ban quet, and both of them thought it was a unique affair. Both of their husbands made great contributions to the local lodge during their lifetimes. We can truthfully say, that the Capi tol City has been blessed with dedicated leadership from both sides, the men and women, and we must not forget that every time the men come up with a successful program, they had received help from these dedi cated daughters. Don’t take my word, stop by the Home at 619 East Davie Street and see the work they are doing on the inside, then you can see why Brothers Harold McClain and John Williams and \ the rest of that Committee can smile. Keep it up girls and call on the brothers when you need them. Last week was something in the Capitol City with the Gen eral Baptist Convention out at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, and the AME Zion on the other side at Rush Metropolitan A ME Zion Church. Meadowbrook Country Club closed it out Sat urday night, with a "do you own thing” program at the club. The Grim Reaper has really been felt in the area in the last few days, claiming the lives of Leonidas Frasier, Sr., Mrs, Fannie W. Allen and also Love lace Burrell on Thursday morn ing of last week.

Book, Wads In Business/ Tells It Like it Really is NEW YORK, N. Y, In the face of all the talk about eco nomic development lies the a larrning fact that black busi nesses are still failing at rates more than double that of white enterprises. And in spite of all the talk, little is being don« about this fact. One man, Edward H. Jones, in his new book, “Blacks i; Business,” has provided a. answer, or more correctly, a lot of answers as to how black businesses which are alread; in existence can be helped, and how new businesses in the black community can be encouraged. Jones, the Executive Director ■ of the New York Council of the Interracial Council for Busi ness Opportunity, also provid es in his book a historical sketch of the role that the black businessman has played in A merican society because ho says “the main problem facing the black businessman is lack of understand' g.” Jones points out that this lack of understanding is not just limited to the white com munity. "Because of their (blacks past skepticism and their be lief that black businessmen are poor, uneducated businessmen, they have simply ignored his struggles," Jones wrote. But Li "Blacks In Business,” Jones shows that this bad re putation comes from myths and misconceptions over which the black businessman has little control. For example, one n yt! that Jones explores it: detail is the one that states that blacks in this country have no tradi tion of business activity. Jones shows that quite to the contrary, blacks were success ful long before the civil began. And, in fact, he points out there were many blacks that amassed huge fortunes. A mong them was a black man ;;. Hie name of Stephen Smith of Columbia, Pennsylvania, who Jackson (rives Warning Du ring Address In NC Dl RHAM- Thr Rev.

Blacks in Business goes on to show that during the twen ties, when the national economy was booming as a whole, that I.lacks were dealing on a busi ness level in terms of million >nd millions of dollars. "The : riod,” Jones write, "from 1913 to 1929, known as the "Negro business boom,” saw the .emergence of various business corporations started with large sums of capital.” The depression 'wiped out most of these businesses and blacks have been fighting ever since to regain a foothold in the national economy. And this fight and what can be done is dealt v ith in great detail In Blacks in Business. Jones outlines steps that should be taken by citizens, govern ment, white businessmen and the black businessman himself. His main point in the book is that there should be greater involvement in black business development by the federal gov ernment. Among his many pro posals are that the government should spend more in the black community and that there shouh be more loan officers who are black in the Federal agencies that make loans to black bus inessmen. "Too often,” Jones writes, "white loan officers just do not understand black people.” On this point Jones should really be on target because he spent three years as a loan office: for the Small Business Ad: Lustration. Mr. Jones is a graduate of Virginia Union University and New York Uni versity and was formerly an official with the Midland Bank of New York. Before that he worked ior the New York City Housing Development Adminis tration, American Airlines and the Internal Revenue Service. Blacks in Business is pub lished by Grosset & Dunlap. PREGNANCY Dear Mrs. Riggs! *e: I am a 15-year-old young man with a problem. I an. writing to tel! you that I've started on masturbation. I don’t like this at ail and I'd like for you to give me all the Infor mation you caii on this subject. This lias been disturbing me for some time, so I would ap preciate it if you would answer the letter in your column. I’d like for you to tell me how 1 can stop this—people rnv age have a lot more to think of than just masturbation and sex ual intercourse. So please, Mrs. Riggsbee, tell me and others about this serious problem. Thank you very much for read ing this letter, and ( hope you will come up with a solution to help all those involved with this problem. E. F. Dear K, F.: Thank you for your letter. Your concern over masturba tion is shared by many young people. To try to give you a full arid factual reply, 1 con sulted a well-known and re spected physician. Here is what he said: Masturbation is almost uni versal among boys and men. It usually starts as a response to hormones manufactured in the body during early adole scence and reaches its peak during the young adult years prior to marriage, continuing in many cases after mairiage durin« periods of separation, wife's illnesses, etc, Because the adolescent years are filled with new and confusing emotions and often with strong conflicts with parents, the topic of mas tit i bat Jon is seldon discussed wi t h parents or even with friends. Actually, masturbation Is probably the least harmful of a number of ways to deal with the sex urge in adolescence, when a young person attempts North Carolina Central Uni versity. Jackson said black students are allowing themselves to be diverted from their primary m ission, the acquistion of know ledge. “I wasn’t going to al low any liberal carpetbagger to come down when I was at North Carolina A&T and tell me I didn't need an education,” Jackson said. He said his posi tion was that "Nothing is going to seperate me from getting enough information to make my enemies my footstool and my brother my brother.” Jackson recited a list of the world’s revolutionaries who had attained educational status before they led their revolu tions. "Marx was a fine journa list and an economist. Engles was a writer and an economist. Castro had a Ph. D. and was a lawyer before he was 22. Che Guevara was a M. D. Nkr umah bad a B. S. from Lin coln, and after three more years a Bachelor of Theology. He had a master’s degree in education from the University of Penn sylvania, and was only a dis sertation away from a Ph. D. at Columbia. And he had two master’s degrees from the Lon don School of Economics.” Jackson said, “It is conced ed that black Americans have motor skills. It is conceded that Sammy Davis is the world’s greatest entertainer, pound for pound. It is conced ed that Maury Wills is the world's greatest ballplayer, pound for pound. It is conced ed that Sugar Ray Robinson was the world’s greatest box er. And yet it is not conceded that we have cognitive skills. Our minds are still in ques tion. "Even the adjectives thatde sci ibe black leaders tend to be anti-academic. Malcolm is not described as a man who turn ed his prison into a classroom, as a great teacher. Even his followers describe him as a militant. Dr. king had a doc torate in philosophy. He’s de~ scribed as non-violent. Dußois was one of America’s greatest scholars, and he is remember ed as a. man who became a Com - munist.” Jackson said, "A good dose of black pride is needed to spur us on, but it must spur us in the direction of black power. You can have black pride stand ing in the rain with no um brella, but you will still get wet. You can have black pride in a kitchen with no food, but to deny his perfectly normal sex urge and begins to think of it ,<s sinful, harmful psycho logical effects-may result. Re leas-* of this sexual urgt through actual intercourse with females can also lead to many prob lems, not the least of which is pregnancy, or the tremen dous anxiety caused by guilt and fear of pregnancy. Masturbation should best be considered as an appropriate solution for an unmarried a dolescent male, and should have no more guilt attached to it than that accompanying any bodily function. If adolescents can accept masturbation as a response to a normal physical drive almost universal among men, then this practice will cause no mental 01 sexual harm in any manner, and the young p< rson can weather this period in hts development and emerge as a healthy, functioning adult. ' hope that the above state - meet from this very wise doc tor w!l relieve your mind. You are quite correct when you say that people your age have a lot more to think of than sex. a * * Dear Gloria: Do you have an figures that show how many women would get pregnant if they did not use any birth control? In other words, what are the odds against get- Tng pregnant if you just leave it to nature? Dear C. Y.s If 100 woman used no birth control at all for a period of one year, SO of those women would become pregnant, ac cording to studies made. I wouldn’t want to gamble at those odds, would you? • * * Address letters and requests for a free booklet on birth control to : Mrs, Gloria Riggs bee, 214 Cameron Avenue, Cha pel HUI, North Carolina 27614. you wm still starve.” He said that most famous corner in black history---the corner where all the famous black orators spoke--was 125th and Seventh in New York City. Most of those leaders are now in their graves. The tradegy in 1971 is that we jre still on that cornei'. He told the students that if they go back home with a de gree, but without knowledge, "You go back home as a lia bility to a people in pain.” Jackson said, "There ain’t no change goin’ to come on the corner and there ain’t no re solution goin' to come out of the Dlaza. Dig it.” * * * Thousands of disadvantaged young people and mothers t rain ed for health services occupa tions in Veterans Administra tion facilities last fiscal year. * * * California still leads the na tion in veteran population with 3,075,000, up from 2,992,000 the previous year, according to Veterans Administration statistics.
