Africa, Caribbean trade bill passed
BY TOM KAUM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Congres
sional leaders - looking toward
passage of the first major trade bill
in five years - believe negotiators
can resolve differences in compet
ing versions of legislation to
extend trade benefits to Africa, the
Caribbean and Central America.
The House-passed bill only
covers the 48 countries of sub
Saharan Africa. The Senate bill,
approved 76-19 late Wednesday,
covers these nations, plus 24
Caribbean and Central American
nations as well.
Another big difference: The
Senate bill gives duty-free treat
ment only to apparel made from
U.S. yarn, fabric or thread, while
House sponsors say that provision
is too restrictive.
Senate passage represented an
important trade victory for Presi
dent Clinton, who has pressed for
the bill's approval before the Nov.
30-Dec. 2 meeting in Seattle of
ministers of the World Trade
Organization, where Clinton
hopes to launch a new round of
market-opening trade talks.
If enacted, it will be the first
major trade bill approved since
1994, when Congress agreed to
IIS. participation in that organi
zation. '
(here is
an economic
and political
renaissance
under way in
sub-Saharan
Africa and
this bill allows
us to encour
age it and
share it," said
Rep. Charles
Clinton
Kangei oi New York, the senior
Democrat on the House Ways and
Means Committee and the legisla
tion's principal House sponsor. He
said sub-Saharan Africa had "700
million potential consumers" for
U.S. products.
Range), in a statement, also
indicated support for extending
the benefits to the Caribbean and
Central America.
Sen. William Roth, R-Del.,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, said the bill would
"encourage new economic oppor
tunities and a path toward both
political and economic renewal for
the countries involved, and it will
promote opportunity and eco
nomic growth here at home."
Both bills would lower or elim
inate tariffs and quotas on prod
ucts from the regions covered as
well as making it easier for Ameri
can businesses to invest.
The measure was opposed by
senators from textile states, who
contended it would harm Ameri
ca's garment industry, and by
labor and environmental groups
that said it failed to set standards
for protecting workers and the
environment.
"The Senate passed trade legis
lation that will do harm to people
in Africa, Central America and the
Caribbean and at the same time
destroy the jobs of U.S. workers all
the while claiming (it was) doing
something nice for the poor coun
tries of the world," said Scott
Nova, director of Citizens Trade
Campaign, a coalition of union.

opposed to the measure
Although the Senate fended off
most amendments, it did approve,
964), one by Sen. Tom Harkin, D
Iowa, that would deny the trade
benefits to any nation whose gov
ernment condoned the worst
forms of child labor. Harkin listed
these as child prostitution, child
trafficking in drugs, forcing chil
dren to handle hazardous materi
als, or any situation in which chil
dren ate placed in restraints.
The bill - debated by the Sen
ate for nearly two weeks - nearly
died amid partisan bickering,
mostly over unrelated issues. How
ever, in the end, 46 Republicans
and 30 Democrats voted for it.
Clinton, meanwhile, hailed the
"strong bipartisan support" for
including both Africa and the
Caribbean-Central America in the
Senate bill. "It's a way of our
being good neighbors. It's a way of
our being responsible partners," he
told reporters at the White House.

WSSU to celebrate
75 years of training
black educators
BY CHERIS HODGES
THE CHRONICLE
In 1925, there was only one
place African Americans could go
to become teachers in the state of
North Carolina.
Seventy-five years later, the
Winston-Salem Teachers College,
now known as Winston-Salem
State University, is proud to cele
brate its legacy of success in edu
cating educators.
WSSU was the first black insti
tution to offer bachelor of science
degrees for the training of elemen
tary school teachers.
The university has prepared
many outstanding, teachers,
including Bernice Howard Daven
port, a recipient of the Freedoms
Foundation Award in 1959; N.C.
Rep. Larry Womble and countless
others.
Womble, who worked in the
education field for 30 years as a
teacher and an administrator, said
WSSU had an excellent program
when he attended school there. "If
you went to Winston Salem State,
people were out to hire you before
you graduated," he said. "At that
time, anyone who finished WSSU
could stand head and shoulders
with any other graduate from any
other school in the country."
When Womble graduated from
WSSU, he returned to his old
alma mater, 14th Street School, as
a teacher. He said the direction he
received from WSSU had him pre
pared for his career in education.
i ney aia a gooa jod oi mak
ing sure we were prepared and
professional," he said.
The knowledge Womble said
he gained from WSSU helped
another university in Winston
Salem, Wake Forest. Womble said
he set up a student teaching pro
gram at Wake Forest and was in
charge of it for two years.
Womble credits his success in
the education field to the profes
sors at WSSU. "They demanded
nothing less than your best," he
said. "They made you feel like you
were important."
Davenport, a member of the
WSSU Class of 1947, said when
the time came for her to choose a
college, the only place she could
go was WSSU.
"I used to live around the cor
ner from the school so I had been
attending programs there since I
was 6 years old," she said. Daven
port majored in primary educa
tion and her first love, music.
She said the professors at the
university were close to students
when she attended college there.
"They were people who knew
so many or us. you knew you were
expected to do your best when you
got there," she said.
The professors were viewed as
friends and neighbors, she added.
Davenport worked in a highly
segregated school system during
her years as a teacher. But despite
these limitations, she taught her
students about freedom and the
fundamentals for a free society.
When Davenport retired in
1979, she returned to WSSU and
worked with the school's Lyceum
program for 11 years. She ran the
office and distributed the tickets
to the students and public. Daven
port said students at WSSU still
have the same character students
from her generation had when she
was a student. She said the stu
dents always said thank you when
they received a ticket from her.
"Winston Salem State was a
marvelous place and it still is,"
she said.
As a testament to her love for
WSSU, Davenport established the
Bernice Howard Davenport
Endowment. Her scholarship
fund is devoted to students who
attend wbbU and major in music.
A 75th celebration for the
department of education will be
held Nov. 17 at 9:45 a.m. in Dil
lard Auditorium at the Albert H.
Anderson Center.
Asa Hilliard III, one of the
country's foremost authorities in
the field of education, will give the
keynote address.
A great educator in his own
right, Hilliard received his bache
lor of arts degree in psychology,
master of arts degree in counsel
ing and doctor of education
degree from the University of
Denver. He also taught there in
the College of Education and the
College of Arts and Sciences in
the honors program in philosophy.
Hilliard served on the faculty at
San Francisco State University for
18 years. During his six-year stint
in Liberia, West Afriipa, Hilliard
worked as a school psychologist.
Hilliard is also a board certi
fied forensic examiner and diplo
mate of both the American Board
of Forensic Examiners and the
American Board of Forensic
