Miss Universe Gives Formula For Success What’s been happening More charges may be forthcoming in the case of a Social Services supevis- or charged Friday night in several drug-related of fenses. John Daniel Bolz, a supervisor in children’s protective services with the Forsyth County Social Services Department, and his wife Harriet Jeanne Bolz were charged with maintaining a house for the keeping of drugs, possession of marijuana, possession of methaqua- lones and possession of a needle and syringe. Narcotics officers were reluctant to make any statement concerning the case, because there may be further developments in the case. What those developments may be was not specified. Gerald M. Thorton, di rector of Social Services, stated that no action has been taken toward Bolz as yet, because he has not been tried on the charges. “He is not participating in ‘active duties’,’’ said Thornton, “Until this is cleared up.’’ Bolz had only recently been promoted to his po sition, supervising the caseworkers in the child ren’s protective services unit. Prior to that he had done casework himself. Thornton stated that Bolz had a good work record, and there had been no problems in his job performance.

Winston-Salem’s new board of aldermen were sworn in at their Monday night meeting. Vivian Burke, Larry Little, Jon DeVries, and Eugene Groce are shown here as they repeat the oath of office. New City Officers Installed Only 10 Shopping Days Til Ohristmas fPSSlf Interns A new era in city gover nment began Monday night with the swearing-in of Major Wayne A, Cor- pening and a board of aldermen representing the greatest cross-section of the community in re cent memory. The first order of busi ness of the new board of aldermen was the passing of resolutions commend ing outgoing major Frank lin R. Shirley, and depart ing aldermen Carl J. Rus sell, Richard Davis, C.C. Ross, Floyd Burge, and John Palmer, who also received a map of Crystal Towers from grateful con stituents. One possible indication that the bitterness of the campaigns still lingered was the conspicuous ab sence of C.C. Ross when his presentation was read. “We’ll mail this one,” Coipening decided. The new major named Ernestine Wilson, one of the two returning aider- men, as major pro-tem, citing her experience as an important factor. The board made no objections to Corpening’s appointments to the var ious committees on the board of aldermen. Vivian Burke is chair man of the Public Safety Committee. She and vice-chairman Larry D. Little were strong advoc ates of a police review board, and their appoint ment may give them the opportunity to implement that plan. Ernestine Wilson will chair the finance commit tee, with Robert North- ington serving as co- chairman. Virginia Newell and Eugene Groce are members of the com mittee. Eugene Groce, the second returning aider- man, chairs the Public Works Committee. Jon DeVries is vice-chairman, and John Cavanaugh and Larry Little are members. The general committee is headed by John J. Cavan augh, the alderman repre senting the Southwest Ward. Virginia Newell serves as vice-chairman. Robert Nbrthington, Cav- euiaugh’s fellow Republ ican, and Vivian Burke are committee members. Two matters were im mediately delegated to the general committee for further consideration. One was the establishment of a Human Relations Com mittee, a project demand ed by all three black ald ermen, but which Cor- pening had originaUy op posed, claiming that ‘ ‘we have the best race rela tions in the state.” The second matter was the memorandum from the city manager recom- See City, Page 2 Business Major Gets Experience Hv Shnnm Rrnf.rhAr * by Sharyn Bratcher Staff Writer The value of experience in the job market must K apparent to anyone who has ever read the Want Ads, and seen the word “Experienced” in learly every listing. Recognizing the fact that in today’s tight job narket, only the experienced survive, the iBiness department of Winston-Salem State Iniversity offers an internship program for its tsiness majors, designed to give them some practical experience before graduation. The program is co-ordinated by Mrs. Gladys Mham, who has been with the program for two 'Sirs. The business department prefers that students •ho chose to intern — about 50% do — schedule it the semester prior to graduation, in "‘[ior summer or fall senior semester. '®iversity grants six hours credit to Business ministration majors, and three hours to office ™agement or housing management students. business interns served with the rayth County Planning Board, the Housing In, k J’airchild Corporation, and Merrill among others. their The Francina Thomas, who is working with finances and investments at Vanguard Corporation, finish ed her internship a few weeks ago, but has has stayed on as a part-time employer for director James Hansley. That often, happens, Mrs. Oldham observed. If a company is pleased with a student intern’s work, they often offer him a fuU-time job after graduation. Earline Parmon, WSSU’s first intern in housing management, feels that the concept of offering experien .e to the student is good preparation for the realities of the business world. ‘ ‘Textbooks don’t always prepare you for what’s out there,” she comnrented. The business interns’ grades are based on interval reports from the company they are placed with. Some companies pay interns for their work: hopefully, all with pay interns in the future, ’ ’ Mrs. Oldham noted. We expect students to be productive,” she said, “And they should be paid for the services they render.” Thirty-one interns were placed by State last See Business, Page 2 Malloy Fund Awaits Permit Francma Thomas The committee organiz ed to raise money for Nelson Malloy is still awaiting its permit to solicit funds, says Lee Faye Mack, one of the organizers of the group.

Malloy, a Winston-Sa lem Black Pemther leader, was the victim of a murder attempt which doctors say will leave him paralyzed for life. He originally told police that he was shot by people who picked him up when he was hitchhiking in Ne vada, but he has since disclosed that his assail ants were two Oakland, California men associated with the Black Panther party. Police are still search ing Allen T. Lewis, 24, and Rollin Gary Reid, 28, „ of Oakland, who are Charged with the attemp- ed murder of Nelson Mal loy.
