Leonard: Black schools i
WASHINGTON ? "We never have intended for the
black colleges to commit suicide. ... We expected to
fulfill our purpose by preparing all Americans to live in a
multi-cultural, multi-racial society," said Dr. Walter J.
Leonard, president of Fisk University.
The statement came in Leonard's explanation of the
role of predominantly black colleges and universities 30
years after the 1954 Supreme Court public school
desegregation decision.
Speaking on the eve of the Ninth Conference on Blacks
in Higher Education in Washington last week, Leonard
emphasized that desegregation resulted in a greater lack
of support of black colleges, the black press and othtor-.^
black institutions, although they still play a vital role in
providing leadership in America.
"The problem is not black colleges," said Leonard.
"The problem is that whites who control the resources

LOS ANGELES ? Sixty-nine-year-old Marvin Gaye
Sr., who was charged April 1 with the fatal shooting of
his son, Marvin Gaye Jr., said earlier this week that he
did not mean to shoot his son.
According to wire reports, Gaye, 45, was shot several
times in the chest following an altercation with his father
at his parents' home in Los Angeles.
Marvin Gaye Sr., a retired minister, appeared in Los
Angeles Municipal Court April 4 and was ordered to
undergo psychiatric examination at the request of his
lawyer, who said his client was not competent to stand
trial. Results are expected in the next week.
Bill called back-door api
RALEIGH ? A congressional bill that would <allow
student religious groups access to public school facilities
has produced a new side to the school prayer debate.
Supporters of school prayer say religious groups are
being discriminated against by not being allowed access
to facilities other student groups can freely use. But op4
ponents argue that the bill, passed by a U.S. House committee
a week ago, amounts to a back-door approach to
allowing prayer in schools.
The U.S. Senate recently failed to garner the two-thirds
' House. ?
"If a group of like-minded people want to share a
religious event, I see nothing wrong with it," said the

Look out your windows, folks ~ that's summer on the
way. This week I'd like to share with you some first aid
tips for little emergencies that come our way each summer,
along with tips for some emergencies that aren't so
little.
Summer means more outdoor athletics, more
boisterous play and more cuts and bruises. Minor cuts are
easily treated by cleaning with soap and water and bandaging.
Slightly larger cuts require that you apply
pressure directly over the wound: This reduces the flow
of blood near the cut and makes for quicker clotting.
Sterile gauze may be preferred to adhesive bandages for a
larger cut.
Very large cuts, deep, jagged cuts, or cuts inflicted by
metal objects require professional medical treatment. Use
pressure to control bleeding and summon a doctor or
emergency medical technician (EMT).
Two common effects of overexertion on very hot days
are heat stroke and heat exhaustion. Though their causes

The judge ^gfso ordered the elder Gaye put into a%fj
imum security section of the Los Angeles County jai(
because of death threats by other inmates.
The Rev. Gaye said early this week in an interview that
he did not mean to shoot his son and said he was at least
20 feet away when he fired the handgun into his son's ;
chest. But his wife, Alberta Gaye, 71, said her husband
intentionally shot his son.
Gaye, whose music career spanned three decades, won
two Grammy Awards last year for his hit single "Sexual ;

proach to school prayer
Rev. Joseph B. Bethea, administrative assistant to the
bishop of the N.C. Conference of the United Methodist
Church.
"Equal access is the best solution to a very complex
problem/* said the Rev. R.G. Puckett, the editor of the
N.C. Baptist Convention's Biblical Recorder and an opponent
of school prayer.
But Rabbi Martin B. Beifield Jr. charges that supporters
of the bill are not really interested in equal access.
"They're interested in prayer in school/' said Beifield.
" If they can, they'll arrange to do it 10 minutes before
school begins"

who sponsored the Senate version of the equal-access bill,

are similar, the symptoms and treatment for heat stroke
are very different from those for heat exhaustion.
Heat stroke is identified by a very high body
temperature, hot, reddened skin, and a strong and rapid
pulse. Do not treat heat stroke with any type of
stimulant. Try to reduce the victim's body temperature
with copl water, alcohol rubs or cold packs. Don't overchill,
for example, by covering the victim with ice.
Heat exhaustion is very, very different. The victim will
have a normal temperature with pale, clammy skin and
profuse sweating. He will report weakness and nausea.
Where heat stroke is a failure of the body's temperatureregulating
mechanisms, heat exhaustion often results
from depletion of electrolytes such as salt from the
metabolism. Help the victim lay down and apply cool,
wet cloths. Administer salt water (one teaspoon of salt
per six-ounce glass) for about an hour, in sips.
Here's what to do about one summer injury that's
never minor: drowning. The potential drowning victim
will be listless and comatose with bluish skin, lips and nail
