CREATED ILLUSION —Of Haunted House Haunted House Will Send Shivers Of Terror Up Your Spine By Jeri Harvey Post Staff Writer If you happen past 511 E. Morehead St. in the next week or so and hear a lot of screams and howls coming from inside the house, don't call the police and don’t run away scared. It'll only be the sound of people having a good time being "scared to death” in the Haunted House of Morehead East. Charlotte Jaycees have re converted the 21 room house to create illusions that will send shivers of terror up the spirje of the most hardy souls. It’s all part of their fund-raising ef forts that go on year-round to benefit the numerous projects they help support on a local and statewide level. Tom Alsop, Financial Vice president of the Charlotte Jay cees said a great deal of effort and care has gone into making the house "a real experience - in excitement and fearful fun.” He added that a special effort to involve the audience has been made, using methods and effects that employ as few of the traditional ideas as possible. "Dracula and Fran kenstien masks are old hat to kids,” he pointed out. “We're employing some innovations we hope will thrill them even more." A unique feature of the project is that students from Olympic High's drama de partment are supplying most of the “monster man power” and a lot of acts and props. No masks will be used • only professional makeup done by the students. The drama instructor, Frank Ro gers, who has much experi ence in this area, is grading the students on their perfor mance and they are putting forth a maximum effort to do a good job. according to Alsop The Haunted House will be open from 6 - 10 p.m. each evening October 21 - 31 and the admission price is $1.50 for adults and $.75 for children. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult and group rates are available. Call 372-6809 or 333-2530 for addi tional information i ne ^nariotte Jaycees is the oldest Jaycee chapter in the state. Alsop explained that the Jaycees are not just a charity organization, as many people seem to believe. “Pri marily, we are a leadership development organization,” he said, “and we use our various fund raising projects as a tool to develop the poten tial of the individuals involved with the organization.” Some of the projects suppor ted by the Charlotte Jaycees include a Senior Citizens pic nic each year, a recent high school student council officers training session, parties for underprivileged children - one of which was held at Earle Village last year. They also hlep support projects on a state level such as the Burn Center in Chapel Hill and the Ten Million Penny Project to build a swimming pool at Camp Sertoma for handicap ped girls. Wes Sturges is the current president of the Charlotte Jay cees and Craig Pylman is project chairman working with other Jaycee members to make this venture a success. They urge the public to come enjoy the fun while benefiting some worthy causes. Miss Carolyn P. Davis Weds Henry M.

Dianne Bellamy-Small Special To The Post The black institution of high er education in all it’s glory has probably never been in a more disastrous state than it is in right now. Several of the black institutions in North Carolina in the last few years have been threatened with bankruptcy and possible clos ing. Due to alumni appeals, cutting costs and taking hard er looks at the budgets these schools are still open. Some of these schools were religious affiliated so they received support from the church. The wish to keep these schools open has little to do with the state as long as they keep their accreditation. The black state supported schools have a dif ferent problem. They may not be closed due to private finan cial problems, but they will be closed because of poor man agement, inadequate instruc tors, scandals, low quality graduates and improper hand ling of funds. The decision has already been made to incorporate Nor th Carolina A&T State Univer sity into UNC-G East Campus. The plans are on the drawing board because the proposal has come up too many times already. And AAT is vigorous ly helping to create its own auiuiuiauuii. William Friday and some of the Board of Governors for the University System have al ready decided not to waste any more money on A&T. A&T has become, “...a part of a vicious cycle in which the victim of racism is cited as the cause," as stated by E.V. Wilkins, member of the N.C. Port Authority. At this point, the “serious deficiencies and discrepan cies" in the financial situation at A&T has increased the vulnerability of the school to be drawn and quartered and made the hindquarter of UNC-G. As a victim of racism pena lized for it’s failure because of racism, A&T, like other black institutions in the state sys tem, has been denied crucial improvements to staff, facili ties and educational opportu nities. Several years ago the pro posed veterinary school was placed at N.C. State in Raleigh instead of coming to A&T. A&T is an agricultural school and during the days of “sepa rate but equal" it was consi dered to be comparable to N.C. State. But if you have ever visited NCSU even before the veterinary school was pla ced there you can see there is no comparison. A&T has a farm that could have been developed and been ap preciated whereas at NCSU no one will notice that it has been added. An expanded nursing program is being planned for UNC-G eventhough A&T is in need of improvement and fi nancial support in their nurs ing school. The excuse being used is the fact that nursing students from A&T score very low on state boards A&T is not to blame if the university system has cheated all the black institutions out of proper administrative guidelines, fi nancial assistance programs and cheated them out of mu tual respect for the job black institutions have done in edu cating a majority of a specific population. If the University System continues to place projects at predominantly white schools in the system and leave the black schools to struggle on antiquated budgets; no young person black or white will want to attend the black insti tution. If the predominantly white institutions are not re quired by affirmative action to select minorities and the rate of students from black institutions failing special board exams stays at an all time high the black student will obviously be a greater victim of racism. A&T has gotten more help in self-improvement from outsi ders such as Bell Telephone Laboratories and Rockwell In ternational. But these invest ments conceivably will be for their own interest. At this point the administra tion for A&T had best stop covering up the inadequacies in their staff and lookout for the welfare of the school. There are perhaps other per- • sons on the campus who are drawing a yearly salary and not doing a bit of work. A&T is a viable institution and it's very existence is supporting the black heritage. One could go to another school and get a degree ana mayDe a gooa joo reference, but you go to a black school and learn about life, about heritage and pride. The degree you get there means just as much because if you take the time to learn anything where you go to school does not matter. Last weekend was the cele bration of AAT University's Homecoming, how many more will there be? Or will the alumni of AAT find them selves in the same precarious situation that many of the alumni of the now extinct black high schools are in - “I went to A&T, but they call it something else now."
