Law Passed Assuring Equal Employment A new law gives the Civil Service Commission a stronger rule, including additional en forcement powers, in assuring equal opportunity in all aspects of Federal employment. Signed by President Nixon on March 24, Public Law 92- 261 includes Federal em ployees and agencies under the equal employment opportuni ty provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for the first time, and gives the Civil Service Commission direct authority to see that all per sonnel actions in Government are free from discrimination. Key provisions of the act affecting Federal agencies and employees are as follows: ! w ; f Federal agendes must sub mit EEO affirmative action plans to the Commission an nually, and the Commission may require modification of a plan before final approval. - Among other factors, each action plan must provide for programs of training and education which will afford employees an opportunity to acquire skills and abilities needed to compete for ad vancement to positions of greater responsibility. - As part of its action plan review, the Commission will re view the qualifications of all agency officials engaged in the EEO program, and assess the adequacy of personnel and re sources each agency is devoting to its EEO activity. - Persons who allege dis crimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin will have an opportuni ty to file a civil action in court if they are no satisfied with the final action taken by an agency or by the Com mission's Board of Appeals and Review on their complaints. In any event, a complainant may file a civil suit if final action on his complaint is not taken by the agency within 180 days of filing, or by the Commis sion's board of Appeals and Review within 180 days of an appeal from an agency deci sion.

I Distaff Deeds Home Economist Wife Can Be Mixed Blessing By JANICE CHRISTENSEN Having a wife that's a home economist can be a mixed blessing, espe cially when she's Invited to talk to men'B c!Tlc clubs about "current trends in men's fashions." Anson County Exten sion Home Economist Rebecca Gaddy reports she was invited to give a men's fashion revue to the Wadesboro Rotarians. Her husband, a news reporter, finagled himself an invitation be cause he "wanted to see the clothes and he wanted to see how the men reacted to the fashion show." The bugtiiQßßinc/i liked the presentation. Next morning when he was getting ready for work, Gaddy said, "I guess I'd better watch how I dress.

MOUTHS OF BABES Having a child at your elbow as you work is not new to aides working with the Expanded Nutrition Education Program. And often these child ren ask questions that help aides get nutrition information across to adults. Seven-year-old Dal phine Bullock, Rocky Mount, Rt. 2, is such a youngster. Watching an Edge combe County aide show her grandmother how to prepare goulash prompt ed Dalphine to ask "What's that stuff good for?" The aide explained -that-ground beef is gcod to help repair and build the body, macaroni is a good supplier of energy and the other ingredients offer some vitamins and minerals that help the body resist infection. Dalphine thought it over, then said, "I might eat all that stuff myself." j From Black] ~TBE| Bp JOHN HUDGINS' .- ♦ K In the early sixties when Black people used non-violent tactics to get white people to look at issues that affected Black people, frequently some white policeman would read a law about demonstrations to the group of Black people be fore he proceeded to bust their heads. A few weeks ago the same thing happened almost in Durham at NCCU. The only difference was that a "black" man read the law to a group of Black students that be is supposed to be educating. Through no fault of his the students did not get their heads beaten, simply because the local (white) police refused to cooperate with his foolish games. And wjiy was this man bab bling at Black students about disruption, not because they took over a building or burned one down, not because they in terrupted classes or education, but because they temporarily inconvenienced, for a few min utes, a group of white (and colored) people who were the guest of the president. It hurts me to have to write about a Black man who in the face of serious concerns of young peo ple whose future be is sup posed to be shaping, A Black man who responds to his bro thers not with understanding but by reading statements written by white people. Dr. Whiting was a Ph.d. in socio logy which means he could have talked all night to the students in a serious and realis tic manner about their con cerns. Does a man have to be in a classroom to teach, or in the library to learn? Instead he did what any dumb high school drop-out sheriff in North Carolina would do, ig nore the issues and play pro tector of white folks property (whether it is threatened or not). Did he fear the students, of did he not understand the students, either excuse ought be attributed to an Idiot, and not to a man who claims to be concerned with the growth of Black students by virtue of his position. To add insult to injury he sends a threating letter to a number of students talking about "embarrassment to the university. Only a mis-led indi vidual could make a statement like this, the university ought to be embarassed when stu dents haw to march to get an increase in security only months after a brutal murder .'g, 1 -I 1 r ■ 11 ■ , i H J ,• . i , j , 1 j 1 ijPtf f 3 MMP MATS The 8-bottle carton."A gallon of Coke." 24 glasses of delicious Coca-Cote over ice.

Thus the state can abolish the school paper and the president doesn't understand that when he is re placed by a white person that paper will not be there to muster student support in his behalf.
