Black Colleges Have Sports Show On ESPN By Barry Cooper Thanks to the efforts of .t hard- working African-American entrepreneur" named Philip McAlphin, the nation’s four historically black college athletic conferences have their own national television show. It’s called "Black College Spods Weekly," and is aired eacl Wednesday. The show, produced ir. High Point, N.C., -vy McAlphin gives unprecedented exposure tc black coHeges. The four conferences included in the report are the Mid-Eastern Athletic THE LITTLE GARDEN CLUB — The Little Garden Club held its final meeting from 1989 recently in the home of Gardener Mary Bridgeford on Lane Drive, at 10 a.m. The Garden Gale was opened with the club’s song "In The Garden" and a brief devotion. After which, the president. Gardener Genevieve Rogers presided over the meeting. Various reports were given and some were acted upon including plans for the club’s Christmas party to be held in a local Hotel December 31. The discussion on how to keep Christmas plants fresh and pretty longer was very informative. Our next meeting will be held on January 10, 1990. The place will be announced at a later date. Gardeners attending were: Annie B. Rogers, Mary Speight, Genevieve Rogers, Rosa Herron, Mary Bridgeford, Milie L. Williams, two new members, Ethel Stanfield and Rosa Holloway. L.P.N. CLASS NO. I & H — The Licensed Practical Nurses Classes No. 1 & II held their annual Christmas party at the home of the WaUce Stones on Dallas St. They were entertained with a live Santa Claus, Abner Mason, dressed in his santa suit including the hair and the beard! Presents were given for the sick and also a monetary gift was given! Di^,ier was served to the following guests: Mr. and Mrs. Atlas Dixon, Haywood Taylor, Mrs. Milred Smith, Mrs. Linncll Bracey, Abner Mason, Wallace Stone. Members present were: Sara Pugh, Martha Turrentine, Charlottie Tucker, Maxine Mason, Janet Kennell, Charmin Watson, Grizzell Stone, Ora Bryant, Cleo Taylor. AIDS (Continued From Front) says. It can be an ideal opportunity for parents to reinforce values and coping skills, which are essential tc helping youngsters make sound life decisions. Dr. Sullivan cautioned that "the parent who does not take the time today to teach his or her child properly could end up later in a hospital room watching that child die." The Clinical Trials Hotline (1- 800-TRIALSA), says Dr. Linda A. Carnes, CDC’s Communications Specialist with the National AIDS Information and Education Program, gives information on the latest drugs, tests and where they are administered to HIV-positive and AIDS-diagnosed patients. There is also the National AIDS Information Clearinghouse HoUine, 1-800-458-5231, that will alert callers to the latest AIDS research as well as refer them to community-based support groups and organizations. Dr. Carnes, who with Dr. Gayle, forms a formidable African American CDCAIDS science- information team, said, "We estimate there are between one million and L5'miIlion people now carrying the HIV virus. Over 59,000 have died since 1981 — more than the total number of young men who died in combat in Vietnam. Syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease with a two-or three- week incuuauun penou, may be an indication of the occurrence of unprotected or risky sexual behavior. The incidence of syphilis in the black community is now increasing after years of decline. This rise may be a signal that ,increasing numbers of HIV- infected people may be expected in the future." According to Dr. Carnes, "we need to make it clear that 1) the AIDS virus is not easy to contract (for instance, you can’t get it by kissing -even French kissing; and mosquitoes don’t spread it, either); and 2) there is no one group of people more susceptible to contracting the virus than any other. It is not racially nor ethnically transmitted. It’s due strictly to behavior. A gay man, a black woman, a Hispanic man — all are no more likely to get AIDS than a wealthy, white, heterosexual man or woman living in a mansion in Southern California." "AIDS is a young disease in terms of scientific knowledge, so everything we know we discover on a learning curve. Where did it start? Who started it? We all wonder. Presently, there is no known cure. But we reemphasize this. We should concentrate on two very important points: 1) if you have unprotected sex and/or, 2) share drug needles, you greatly increase your risk of contracting the virus. Tliese are the two ways we know now that put you at high risk for HIV infection," she added. Both Drs, Gayle and Carnes emphasize that parents should talk "simply" and often to their children about the dangers of contracting AIDS, but not create an atmosphere of hysteria or fear. They said urging "abstinence is the one fail safe way of avoiding the disease while the youngster awaits development of a single, more mature, responsible and enduring relationship. However, messages about safer sexual practices are important for the young adult who currently, or in the near future, plans to engage in sexual activity." And most importantly, they say, black people — and others — must ^gin to arm themselves with factual infonnation with which to combat this deadly disease. The Centers for Disease Control, through the Nadonal AIDS Hotline (1-800-342-AIDS), is one of the pniKipal sources where concerned citizens can receive this information, they stress. Engineering Conference, the Southwestern Athletic Conference, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and the Southern Intercollegiate Athl-.-tic Conference. Those schools represent virtuaUj every historically black college, including such famous schools as Howard University, Grumbling, Johnson C. Smith and Florida A&M. One notable exception is Tennessee State, a longtime independent which a few years ago joined the predominantly white Ohio Valley Conference. Until ESPN agreed to carry McAlphin’s show, occasional sports reports by Black Entertainment Television were the only source of national TV news coverage for the black colleges. "We feel like we’ve taken a quantum leap," McAlphin told the Associated Press. "It took quite a bit of salesmanship because all of the conferences have had some entrepreneur or upstart to try and convince them to do this, that or the other. They’ve had more folks not come through with what they said than those who have come through and delivered." McAlphin has been able to deliver, and confidence in him is one reason the presidents of the black i.ollcges agreed to go along with the project. "Ask Barry" Q. Are there any morals clauses in the contracts of professional athletes? It would seem to me that players who use drugs should be banished from sports for life. — B.H., Chicago, Ill. A. All athletes are firbidden by their contracts to become involved in illegal activities, and that includes the abuse of illegal drugs. However, the lure of drugs is so powerful that people from all walks of life — not just athletes — have been willing to risk their livelihood to get high. And professional sports are so competitive that teams cannot afford to simply jettison off a player who has become involved with drugs. Good players are so expensive and so hard to come by that teams are all but forced to put troubled players into rehabilitation with hopes the players can lick the problem — and continue to play. As a society, we cannot banish everybody who has an addiction. Should a carpenter be prevented from ever practicing carpenuy again because he developed a drug problem? Should a writer with a drug habit be forbidden from ever writing again? Of course not.

Was the new NBA basketball team in Orlando, Fla., really named after Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers? — T.C., Detroit, Mich. A. No, it wasn’t, although Johnson laughed when he heard the name. Fans in Orlando submitted some 2,000 names in a name-the- team contest and for some reason the franchise fell in love with "Magic." Q. /kre there any statistics on how much money professional sports franchises spend on goods and services purchased from black- owned companies?
