Politics- What to Expect By George Booie Shall we expect politics as usual in the forth coming primary and general election? WiU the outcome of the primary teach the black community togetherness? Will party loyalty prevail? Can voter registration turn the tables? Politics as usual will leave the voters confused. The individuals seeking office should inform the voters so they, the voters, can make intelligent decisions. Rhetoric should be confined to simple statements for better understanding. The voters must decide between the old and the new, casting their votes for the candidate who has the most to offer; and of course the most appeal. The new will be challenging the old with innovations and must win the confidence of the voters. The old must elaborate on past performances and the promise of something new that will meet the present needs of the community. The restoration of faith is imminent. Should a black candidate survive the primary there will be a test of party loyalty like never before. The city has experienced one situation before where party loyalty was replaced with racial overtones. This happened when a black candidate won the primary, but was defeated in the general election because of party disloyalty when, it is alleged. Democrats openly worked at the polls for a RepubHcan. There is a possibility, if this happens again, the black vote will turn into a resentment vote in the future. Disloyalty can and may just destroy the Democratic Party in this community. The future of the party depends upon loyalty and fair play. Voter registration provides strength, if uncontestable.

McLean, CPS Business Writer First Black Arts Festival From April 1 through 24, the first World Festival ,3f Black Arts was held in Dakar, Senegal. Black art the world over was brought for exhibit, with several American black artists awarded prizes for their work. World Concern and South African Mditarism World attention is called in South Africa to the following events: (a) The massive arms build-up by the South Afri can regime which has re cently been increased by 42% apparently for internal military suppression and ex- sion. (b) The intensified mili tary and nuclear alliances between NATO nations threatening world peace, peace. (c) The alleged consolida tion, in the official opinions of most Asian and African governments, of the axis between the Israeli and South African regimes. (d) The threat to the growing collaboration be tween South Africa, Iran and Brazil. (e) The so-called South Africa Defense Amendment Act through which the re gime allegedly takes to itself the right to invade any country south of the equator. (f) The intensification by the regime of repressive laws, violence and atrocities against the black peoples as well as mass arrests and political trials. Black Americans and lovers of freedom every where are called upon to reaffirm that apartheid is a crime against humanity and a threat to peace and se curity in Africa and the world, and that its eradica tion is the urgent and solemn collective responsibility of the peoples of the world. Such advocates of peace and justice are asked to do the following: (a) campaign for the ratifi cation of the International Convention on the suppres sion and punishment of the crime of apartheid. The first essential to the success of any business is the man or the woman at the head of it. Equipment and facilities are necess ary to carrry on, but the soul of the business is the soul of the man or the woman behind it. What the business achieves is never higher than the ideals and standards that exist in the mind of the person who carries the ultimate re sponsibility. In business, no enter prise is ever more successful than it has been planned to be in the mind of some* ONE person. When the work in a business is superior, the MAN or the WOMAN who conducts it gets the credit, and when a business falls below what it should be, of course the person at the head is directly and personally responsible. To impove any business, the image of improvement must first find lodgment in the mind and heart and then express itself in the work and the will of the man or the woman who conducts the business. For a business phase. Publicity-advertising-sell ing. What do they really mean? In any field, advertising or selling that creates a fanciful or misleading impression in the minds of those who read it or hear it over the radio or on television is not good business. .Why isn’t it? Simply because such methods do not advance the best interests of any business in the estimation of a thinking and discriminating public. It has been proved that if a business has a good product, gives good ser vice, does work well, it needs to make only a plain, simple and straight forward statement of what it has to offer. Prospects understand such state ments and appreciate them. Above aU, they believe what is printed or said in a straightforward way. The creation of belief and confidence is the essence of all effective advertising selling. Certainly, with the constantly, growing eco nomy, it appears that the future for business (what ever it may be) hks never been brighter than now. But a bright future is not automatic, it is not something that simply happens. It has to be made to happen by improved and broadened service to the conununity. THIS IS THE LAW By Robert E. Lee Sponsored by The Lawyers of North Carolina FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED DIVORCE ‘‘day in court” because the untruthfulness of the hus band prevented her from appearing and making a proper defense. Even if the husband remarries, the first wife may set aside the divorce decree, and if she does, the second wife is without a husband. The first wife may not be able to make the man return and live with her, but she can require him by court order to support her. A husband, although he knows where his wife is living, alleges that she deserted him two years ago and that her present address is unknown and, therefore, obtains a divorce in North Carolina. Because the wife was not informed of the divorce proceeding she may have the divorce decree set aside — if she acts within a reasonable time after learn ing of the divorce. The wife never had her FSU Receives ^3 Million Grant On Thursday, at the Annual Faculty Confer ence, Dr. Charles “A” Lyons, Jr., Chancellor, announced that Fayette ville State University has received a Federal grant for $3 million. The grant is from the Title HI Advanc ed Institutional Develop ment Program (AIDP) in the u.S. Office of Education. According to Lyons, this grant will be used to strength the academic departments, expand stu dent services, and for administrative improve ment. The grant covers a five year period. Lyons also noted that this, FSU' s grant, is the largest grant ever awarded under the program. He stated that this grant represents about half that was requested. Lyons' remarks to the faculty reflected the requirements for instit- ional changes that are required by the grant. He also stated that his remarks reflected FSU's involvement in the dese gregation controversy of Higher Education of North Carolina. He stated that, “...at this point, I am not pessimistic. I will take all problems as challenges and an opportunity to do better.’’ He stated that this insitution cannot remain static. ‘ ‘The need for change, ’ ’ said Lyons, “is recognized by the faculty.” The faculty adopted as its theme for the 1977-78 school year, ‘‘Planned Changes for 1980.” Acc ording to Lyons, a fundamental prerequisite for change and effective administration is the implementation of a Planning, Management, and Evaluation System (PME(. This will maxi mize the utilization of resources of the instition. The University will re-examine its organiza tion and management of resources of the institu tion. The University will re-examine its organiza tion and management by objectives (MBO) will be Iordan Column Continued Prom Page 4 public jobs are wrong — minimum wage rather than prevailing wage scales for the jobs in question. Also the plan is vague on what kinds of jobs will be created. Too much leeway is given to weifare administrators to decide who will have to work, and for other technical decisions that have tremendous impact on poor people. This -bould be avoided by making the jobs program part of a national full em ployment policy divorced from the welfare program and by using the refundabie credit Jsoome tax as the major income assistance device. Those two steps would do away with the inequitibs still embodied in the reform, and would also simplify the in come assistance program by reducing the awesome ad ministrative complexities that also characterize the present welfare system. The Administration’s plan, basically a sound one, is the absolute minimum ac- ceptabie to the poor and to the cities. A responsibie Congress can improve it, but if Congress gives way to grandstanding attacks on the poor and to negative amendments, weifare reform wili be dead for another decade. at the heart of what is done this year. Each unit must have stated goals that are achieveable and measurable. Fayetteville State University must not continue to be written about on the basis of deficiencies. Lyons stated the most important beneficiary of these improvements will be the students. “From now on,” he stated, “Our students must meet nat ional and state standards before graduating. We must develop what ever programs and measuring devices that are needed to do so.” Lyons also announced the funding of the Upward Bound and Special Servic es Programs to be headed by Ms. Evelyn 0. Shaw. ‘‘This pDrogram will allow Fayetteville State University to seek out disadvantaged high school students who show prom ise and bring them into the University setting on weekends. These students will receive instruction and counseling.” Accord ing to Lyons, “In order for Universities to continue to be effective, they must begin influecing young people prior to their becoming University stu dents.” Chancellor Lyons aimou need the establishment of a Graduate Center at FSU, It will be, intially, graduate instruction in education. The staff that wiU administer the pro gram will be on campus shortly and FSU adminis tration and faculty will be a part of the program. “Hopefully,” said Lyons, “this program will follow the same couse as the Fort Bragg Center. In time, this Center wiU become the Graduate School of Fayetteville State Univer sity.” 1977 R J -HI-VNDlOS TOBACCO CO ^ liii smoking it you know lin enjoying it. And I’m enjoying Salem. Great taste.
