WORKSHOP IN
DRUG ABUSE
The Elizabeth City
State University is seek
ing financial support of
a proposed program on
drug abuse that would in
clude six counties. The
program is designed to
inform and educate these
communities on the ever
growing dangers and ef
fects of drug abuse.
A serious attempt will
be made to aid educators,
civic leaders,parents and
students in eliminating
sociological, psychologi
cal and physiological fac
tors and problems involv
ed in drug misuse. The
11/2 year program would
run from January 1970
to May 1971, Mr, Marion
Mendenhall, Assistant
Driector of Development
said that “If the proposed
program is approved,
Elizabeth City State Uni
versity would receive
both federal and state ap
propriated funds”.
hllzabeth City State
University will provide
the faculty and class
room space. School ad
ministrators, communit
leaders, educators, par
ents and students in the
community areas in
volved feel that this is a
much needed program.
We do not have the ade
quately trained personnel
needed to cope with the
ever increasing problem
of drug misuse.
The expected results
from the proposed ECSU
program would be: (1)
Structure and organiza
tion of courses in Mental
Health directly related to
drug abuse by schools in
the school districts in
volved. (2) Organization
of Community Juvenile
Protection Groups re
lated to drug abuse. (With
state and federal connec
tions). (3) Community
groups organized by
participants of the work
shop. U) Establish drug
abuse centers with state
and federal connections
working with local drug
problems as they arise
and to aid in the pre
vention of drug misuse,

GREETINGS

By GARY LILLEY
Allen Wesley Faulcon,
one of the four young
blacks arrested for the
March 1968 burning of the
Maintenance office here
at ECSU, was recently
convicted of aiding and
abetting in a case of ar
son, Faulcon is now serv
ing a three to five year
sentence.
* It was Ironic that the
jury of seven blacks and
hve whites convicted
Faulcon. The whole trial,
seemingly was based on
assumptions.
The state failed to build
a case that could asso
ciate Allen with the burn
ing, so they started work
ing on an aiding and abet
ting angle.
Lufu was said to be born
in Egypt land.
His love was even felt
by the desert sand.
He wears a cool dashiki,
and a jet black tam.
He is black like ebony,
and as big as a ram.
He has a hen nest beard
that’s African reared.
His brotherly smile is
wider than wide.
You can see white teeth
from either side.
He has a body like Scimp-
son’s and a heart like
gold.
“He Is seen near Xmas”
Is what I’ve been told.
During' the trial the
prosecutor assumed that
since Allen and the three
other convicted soul bro
thers (Bryan Nelson.
Greg Hill, and Freddie
Meyers) were friends,
this evidently, made Allen
guilty too. It was also
assumed that since all
four brothers ate meals
together, they all must
have been connected with
the arson case. The state
failed to dig up any con
crete evidence against
Faulcon.
When the two state wit
nesses, Bryan Nelson and
Freddie Meyers failed to
bring up any thing at all,
that could associate Faul
con with arson, the pro
secutor again brought out
his aiding and abetting
LUFU
By ROY FARMER
He can be transformed
Into anything he wishes.
Like a mountain, a road
or even a fish.
He doesn’t come by train
nor a greyhound bus.
But by a platform of love
and faith made by us.
He is followed by a sphere
filled with toys.
For sweet little girls and
gentlemen-like boys.
He has a key like finger
that fits any keyhole.
Then, Lufu tip-toes in so
proud and bold.
He sprinkles gifts of love
everywhere.
To let everyone know that
Lufu was there.
angle. He stated that
Allen’ cigarette lighter
was used to ignite the
molotov cocktails.
In both Nelson’s and
Meyers’ testimonies,
they clearly stated that
they used their own
matches.
In truth Faulcon him
self didn’t lose the case,
all the blacks of ECSU
and America as well lost
the case. When one black
suffers we all suffer.
Is there definitely
som ething wrong with
justice as displayed in
this case, Ob‘/iously it Is
blind to the facts of re
ality.
All Power to the Peo
ple
All Power to Neutra
lize Justice
And while he’s prancing
around in the den.
He leaves a potiche to
ward off sin.
. It guard the doors to keep
out the evils of hate.
To keep this a joyous, and
peaceful date.
He is drawn only to hous
es that radiated love.
And he can sense this
feeling from the sky
above.
And When he makes his
departure you might
hear him say,
“Let peace and love
spread throughout this
Christmas Day.”
