Stop the Violence Young angry men trying to make a dime Selling dope on my doorstep and they know it's a crime How can you reach out to them and calm their lives How can you tell them they must survive This world is a jungle but we're all in the same race Stop this violence before we're wiped out without a trace Don't let this white powder genocide cause us grief How can you kill your own brother over such a meaningless beef Young black man Think of this world if you're taken away Leaving all your women defenseless and the oppressors' prey Come nestle your soul in my warm embrace let me soothe your anger before your life becomes a waste My heart reaches out but my words don't penetrate your mind On beautiful young black man don't die before your prime Distant Lover Miles may separate our touch But the essence of your presence is always near Leaving a desire that Distance has not quenched Time has not smothered and Uncertainly has not dampened Beckoning for you to escape your world and Travel with me into a sea of ecstasy Rotary Club Grant to Aid Forsyth Students The Downtown Rotary Club of Winston-Salem has made a $10, (XX) grant to provide "last dollar" finan cial aid to college bound graduated of the local UpWard Bound pro gram. It is the largest single grant ever made by the club. Most oj> the high school stu dents in the UpWard Bound pro gram are from low-income families where neither parents has attended college. Students in the program attend after school tutoring and counseling in college preparatory subjects dur t Ua c /> W/\/\l viAQi* q r\/i t nAi\ attAn/i lng me scnooi year anu inen auena a residency program at Winston Salem State University during the summer. Jean Irvin, the chairperson of the UpWard Bound Advisory Board, described the grant from Rotary as a real "breakthrough for some of these students and their families." While most of the students are eligible for financial aid, there is often a gap between the aid package available and the actual cost of attending, she said. Under the Rotary grant, an UpWard Bound student may receive up to $1,000 to close that gap. Jim Douglas, the chairman of the Rotary Benevolent Committee, ^aid his committee voted un ini mously to recommend the grant for the program to the Rotary Board of Directors. "Upward Bound is a proven program that works and this is a way for the Rotary Club to make a real difference in the lives of some of our young people," he said. "It is also in keeping with the in interest that past and present con tributors to the benevolent fund have demonstrated in improving educational opportunities for deserving young people" Frank Driscoll, the president of Rotary, said the grant was a way for the club to contribute in a substan tial and tangible way to a number of the goals outlined in the commu nity's Common Vision strategic plan. educational opportunities for all cit izens, support for economic devel opment through a better trained work force and improve race rela tions. While the grant is for one year, it could be renewed for one more year bringing the total to $20,000. The grant program was designed to mesh with the broader Crosby Scholarship program, a county wide approach developed by the Winston-Salem Foundation with similar goals, which will be fully implemented in two years. UpWard Bound students would ten be eligible for financial aid under that program. This is the second time that UpWard Bound ha& received a boost from the Downtown Rotary Club. The club helped with the ini tial funding that allowed the pro gram to expand from serving 60 students a year to the current 85 stu dents a year.
