1981 is off and running at your Chevy dealer s
now. So now's the time to come in and see a great
new year-of great new Chevrolet cars and trucks.
Like Chevy Citation, a proven car that has
become Americas best-selling front-wheel drive.
And Chevy Chevette. the tough son-of-a-gun that's
America's best-selling subcompact.
Come see the new mid-size Chevy Malibu that
proves a car can seat six adults and still have "pizzazz"
Then take a look at the beautifully new Monte
Carlowith virtually every inch reshaped, every
line resculpted.
And for '81, there's a GM-developed on-board
computer that continuously monitors and adjusts
your car's performance to suit driving conditions
...automatically! It's called Computer Command
Control. And it's standard on every 1981 gasoline
powered Chevy passenger car.
So come on up ahead with all of the 1981
Chevrolets. At your Chevy dealer's now.

their "progressive
educational leadership."
President Friday noted
that "History will record
this date as a turning
point in the life, growth,
development and
enhancement of
Elizabeth City State
University."
Friday took the historic
occasion to strongly
stress that "The underly
ing principle that has
sustained this and all
Board actions, policies
and decisions has been
that integration and
other educational and
social objectives are
realized through strong
institutions, and that
neither integration nor
any other worthy educa
tional or social purpose is
advanced through
measures that weaken
and distort individual in
stitutions, whatever their
historical, racial inden
tifiability. Forty-seven students
are currently enrolled in
graduate courses at EC
SU, with UNC-Chapel
Hill, East Carolina and
N.C. State Universities
providing visiting pro
fessors. Construction of
the two million dollar
graduate center for the
program is to begin in
early 1981. Completion
of the center is targeted
for mid-1982, enabling
ECSU to take full respon-
siDinty Tor its own
graduate degree pro
gram.

Africa News
(Continued from Page 13)
was, on the surface, a
fairly uneventful visit.
Despite Stevens' current
position as chairman of
the Organization of
African Unity, publicity
was minimal. And little of
substance transpired
when he breezed into
Washington for a brief
meeting with President
Carter and discussions!
with .members of Con-
ress, including "the
lack Caucus.
On his return to Sierra
Leone, however, Stevens
was in "a rather angry
mood," according to the
Africa Service of the BBC
(British Broadcasting
.Corporation). The
reason: a small group of
Sierra Leone nationals,
variously estimated at
between fifty and sixty in
number, had organized a
demonstration outside
the United Nations -'ur-ing
Stevens' speech.
Back home, the OAU
chairman aired his feel
ings on the matter,
charging that the New
York protesters were
"troublemakers- who are
deliberately vilifying this
country's image abroad."
Stevens also announced
that-he would soon ask
the United States to
reconsider their status.
The demonstrators
were representatives of
the recently-formed Na-
EES to Assist Cafes
Reduce Utility Costs
James E. Gibson,
Director of the Energy
'Division, N.C. Depart
ment of Commerce, this
week announced that
North Carolina
restaurant owners can
now receive help in con
serving energy and
reducing their utility
costs.
This service will be pro
vided through the Energy
Division's Energy Exten
sion Service in coopera
tion with the Industrial
Extension service of
North Carolina State
University as general
"walk-thru" energy
surveys of the par
ticipating restaurants.
According to the
Energy Director, the
"walk-thru" surveys will
be provided at no cost to
the restaurant and
selected restaurants will
be offered the opportuni
ty to receive added
technical assistance and
the opportunity to par
ticipate in demonstration
projects. Documented
energy savings and other
information will then be
made available to the
food service industry.
Gibson said,
"Restaurants are a
natural choice for this
project for a variety of
reasons. First, the in
dustry is recognized as a
high energy user and
secondly, their potential
for energy savings is
substantial. Also, the
North Carolina
Restaurant Association
has'clearly demonstrated
its cooperative spirit in
promoting energy con
servation in the Tar Heel
State. We, therefore,
asked the Association to
provide industry leader
ship and urged all food
service operators to par
ticipate in this project."
The North Carolina
Restaurant Association is
made up of more than
940 individual and cor
porate members that
operate more than 2,500
food ' service
establishments.
T. Jerry Williams, ex
ecutive vice president of
the restaurant group,
said that restaurants use
energy for heating and
cooling kitchen and
customer space and for
lighting, cooking, food
preparation, sanitation,
storage and hot water.
However, techinques
and equipment are now
available for conserving
energy in all such areas
of operation. "Some
restaurants are now 25
to thirty per cent more
energy efficient than they
were in 1974 and that
more new equipment is
twenty to forty per cent
more energy efficient
than the equipment it is
designed to replace,"
Williams added.
Results from the three
year project will be
available to the entire
food service industry to
familiarize them with the
most efficient energy
saving techniques.

tional Alliance Party
(NAP), which describes
itself as a Sierra Leone
"party in exile," with
branches in six U.S.
states, England and
Liberia, and head
quarters in East Point,
Georgia.
Demanding
"democracy," a govern
mwtf.orbased r8' com
prxvniseand thaend to
Stevens' arbitrary power
and political patronage,
the party has addressed
an open letter to UN
Secretary General Kurt
Waldheim, stating its in
tention to provide Sierra
Leoneans with a "viable
alternative to the pre
sent regime."
Stevens has governed
the west African nation of
three million since 1968,
a ruler in the conser
vative mold of Ivory
Coast President Felix
Houphouet-Boigny, he
moved to establish a one
party state two years
ago, accusing the chief
opposition, the People's
Party, of fomenting
violence.
NAP leader Ted
Roberts told Africa News
that his party has some
300 members among the
2200 Sierra Leoneans
residing in the United
States - and much la
tent sympathy among the
others. Many of the non
members, he charges,
refrain from open in
volvement because of
the threat of intimidation
by "Stevens' thugs and
gangsters."
Sierra Leone govern
ment sources, by con
trast, claim that there
are some 5,000 Sierra
Leone nationals in the
U.S. and that almost all
of them support Stevens:
Whatever the extent of
NAP's support in this,
country, its formation, by
most accounts, is symp
tomatic of more widely
based discontent.
Already this year Sierra
( Leone's capital of
Freetown has witnessed
a number of demonstra
tions, including student
protests against ex
travagant spending on
the OAU summit and
street clashes over
gasoline price hikes.
While all this goesi
some way toward ex
plaining Stevens' ap-
Rarent anxiety over the
lew York incident, most
observers maintain his
political position remains
secure. The 75-year old
head of state has hinted
that he might retire after
this year in the OAU
chairmanship, and a '
repeat of the Liberia
scenario in which Presi
dent Tolbert, was ousted
during his OAU term, is
not thought likely.
