Social Security Sets Limits On * .» > __ ' i ram cl ' Doctors Seek Repeal Of Drug Law Special To The Post RALEIGH — The N. C. Medical Society and N. C. Society of Ophthalmology are seeking repeal of a 1977 law that permits op tometrists to use prescrip tion drugs. A bill re questing such action was Introduced in the N. C. Senate Monday night by Sen. William G. Hancock, Jr. (D-Durham). Dr. Thomas C. Kerns Jr., president of the N. C. Socie ty of Ophthalmology, a group of more than 250 medical doctors specializ ing in eye care, explained the physicians’ reasons for wanting to see the law repealed. ine law is not work ing,” said Dr. Kerns. “Although the statute states specifically that an optometrist must com municate and collaborate with a licensed physician before prescribing drugs, frequently this Is not hap pening. Even if collabora tion does occur,” Dr. Kerns added, “optometrists are not medically trained to diagnose and treat eye disease.” Dr. Josephine E. Newell, president of the N. C. Medical Society, pointed out that North Carolina and West Virginia are the only two states in the nation allowing individuals who are not medical doctors to disseminate theraffeutic drugs. __ inis bill is not against optometry,” said Dr. Newell. “Optometrists per form a valuable service In the examination of eyes for glasses and contact lenses. We’re cpncemed strictly with the health and welfare of the people of North Carolina and the fact that drugs are being prescribed by persons other than - physicians.” Ophthalmologists believe the law was originally passed partly because of the gencTral lack of knowledge regarding the three fields dealing with eye care. j ^r» Mrs. ('.Iiarles William* .^.Benefit mcnnis hosts Light To Receive A wards House Of Charles To Honor • t •• / Alan Rousseau Here Sunday By Susan Ellsworth • Port Staff Writer He’s a two-term presi dent of the' Charlotte Mecklenburg branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Col ored People. At age 28, he’s one of the youngest men to serve as an assistant to the Clerk of Superior Court. Alan Gerard Rousseau will soon be honored for outstanding community service at the House of Charles' first annual benefit awards dinner. Encouraged as a teenager to Join the NAACP, Rousseau credited the late Fred Alex ander and Kelly Alexander Sr. for inspiring him to become politically active. Tagged by some with the stigma of a young upstart, Rousseau’s philosophy is simply "do your Job and let people see what you can do.” Everything you do in volves politics," said the 1975 graduate of North Carolina A&T University who has a B.S. in political science. A great rise in conser vatism is overtaking the country, according to Rousseau. This conser vatism is affecting budget cuts with minorities suffer ing the most... Reaganomics’ intent is “to disrupt the lives of as few people as possible,’’ he ex plained. Yet, he fears a negative chain reaction to the cutbacks will result. 1 Rousseau called “the hidden agenda (of the Reagan administration) to tafce the burden off the federal government and •put it on the state.” Instead of the federal government accepting responsibility for administering programs, Reagan is giving the states what may appear as more power, but in reality is more of an encumbrance. As president of a civil rights organization, Rousseau emphasized he does not perceive govern ment in terms of white and black. “I m an interracialist," Rousseau declared. And he does not see himself as a leader in the black community, “but as an official mouthpiece for the organization he represents.” According to Rousseau, if a white person belonging to various organizations speaks out, his opinion is simply regarded as his own; whereas, a black per son is regarded as a leader and spokesman for the black community, although his activities may simply parallel the white person’s involvement. Rousseau if a member'uf the Mecklenburg Jaycees, Young Democrats, Charlotte Business League, a Scottish Rite Mason 32nd Degree, and sits on the Board of Directors for the Cbarlotte-Mecklenburg Ur ban League. He has served •■on the Governor’s Task Force on Reading for Mecklenburg County, is a past member of the Board of Directors for the Charlotte Area Fund, and State President of the Assistant & Deputy Clerks of Superior Court Associa non. me House of Charles honoree attends Our I,ady 'of Consolation Catholic Church, is married, has two daughters and resides a t 321 5 Burbank in Charlotte. Rousseau will be among the eight people honored Sunday, May 31 at 2:30 p.m. at the Excelsior Gub.
