notions, better practical techniques, and improved relationships with
I agencies for many of the participants, according to a report from the
ctor of the overall Federally-funded program,
lore than a quarter of the participants in a 1987 summer program for
J health workers (nurses, nurses aides, and volunteer health workers)
jbeen promoted, and more than a third of the sanitation inspectors who
icipated in a 1989 program have also won promotion.
[he two projects were conducted at NCCU under the auspices of the

greeting the two NCCU projects was Mary Hawkins of the NCCU

ledby LASPAU for USAID in Paraguay.
he 1987 project at NCCU enrolled seven rural health nurses and eighi
js aides and volunteer health workers for the month of August.
:ipants had been nominated by U. S. Peace Corps Volunteers who
:cd with them in widely-scattered rural areas of Paraguay.
[he NCCU project provided practical courses in health care and one
lie in health education.
Is. Burckett-Picker reported that the nurses, nurses aides, and volun-
t'orkers have learned more effective ways of providing health care and
'll education. They now use audio-visual aids in their contacts with
Paraguayans, including illustrations and flip charts which they have
®ed themselves.
; rural sanitation inspectors were enrolled at NCCU in May and June
The eleven Paraguayan participants studied topics including health
jtion techniques, water quality testing, sanitary disposal of wastes,
iie functioning of water pumps.
lyear after the program ended, the eleven participants were back at
I for the Paraguayan National Environmental Health Services. They
lied to Ms. Burckett-Picker that they now offer education to the
lents of the rural communities, using the techniques and demonstrating
jactices they learned at NCCU.
ie program director’streport says that the Peace Corps Volunteers who
; with the health and sanitation workers report that their colleagues
ri changed forever as educators.” The common practice of reading a
ared lecture to villagers has been replaced by activities which involve
•unity participation and better educational technology, Ms. Burckett-
ir wrote.

ence before joining the NCCU fac
ulty this fall, having worked at
Georgia, Troy State University,
High Point College, the University
of South Carolina, Davidson Col
lege, and East Carolina University.
His book publications include a
work of literary criticism,
Mallarmi. published by the Univer
sity of Georgia Press, and a
biography, Eliphas Levi, published
by the University of Alabama Press.
He has also written three other
books.
But in 1979 Dr. Williams pur
chased the Mecklenburg Gazelle in
Davidson, N. C.. By 1982 the
paper’s advertising revenues had
multiplied by ten, and its circula
tion by five. Dr. Williams sold the
newspaper in 1982 to the Park
Communications newspaper chain.
In 1982 he founded Williams &
Co., a publishing and public rela
tions organization. In 1985 he
merged the company into Williams
& Simpson, Inc., which published
NCEasl Magazine, Beaufort
County Magazine, The Vacationer
(a North Carolina travel and tour
ism guide) and Williams &
Simpson’s Apartment Directories.
The company also wrote, designed,
and produced custom manuals, bro
chures and similar materials for
advertising clients.
In the fall of 1990 Dr. Williams
returned to teaching, becoming a
visiting lecturer in Modem Lan
guages at NCCU. He is currently
writing an essay, “Racine and
Mozart,” and on two short stories.
He has not left the publishing
business entirely, however. How to
Make $100,000 A Year in Desktop
Publishing was published this fall
by Betterway Publications, Inc., of
White Hall, Va. How to Publish
Your Poetry and How to Start, Run
and Profit From Your Own Publish
ing Company are scheduled for
publication by Venture Press, Inc.
in 1991.
Howto Make $100,000 A Year in
Desktop Publishing is far from the
typical publication for the men and
women who use desktop computers'
to typeset and design publications.
Most of the popular titles in the
field are in the area of design. Dr.
Williams, who began to use the new
technology in 1986, remembers.
The books all told you how to op
erate your equipment and even how
to draw pretty pictures with it. But
none really told you how to make
money with it.”
How to make money with desk
top publishing is Dr. Williams’
principal topic in his book. The
first two chapters get the budding
entrepreneur started with the rela
tively small investment now re
quired for desktop publishing.
(Dr. Williams began to work
with desktop publishing not long
after the technology was developed.
The first copyrights associated with
one of the most popular software
programs for desktop publishing.
Pagemaker. date from 1984.)
The remaining 13 chapters of
Dr. Williams’ book deal with the
working business of active publish
ing. From “Publishing A Quality
Of Life Magazine” to “Selling Out
For Pleasure And Profit,” they re
flect Dr. Williams’ own personal
experience in publishing.
