School Year Presents Exciting Challenge For Zerrick Bynum By Loretta Manago Post Staff Writer The 1982-83 school year presents an exciting chal lenge for Zerrick Bynum. Having completely skipped the sixth grade Bynum is faced with the challenge of beginning his years of junior high with as much vitality as the elementary years he left behind Since the first grade By num has compiled an out standing annual report card, only making one or two B's and on the Cali fornia Achievement Test Bynum scored 99. # former student of Myers Park Elementary School Bynum admits that math is his favorite sub ject. “I like math best because of the thrill and the mental challenge of the subject. Math also makes you figure things out for yourself,” iniormed Bynum Now a seventh grader at Northeast .Junior High School Bynum confessed that because he is so well organized he hasn't en countered many problems adjusting to junior high school. If there has been Zerrick Bynum Outstanding student any problem that he's no ticed then that’s the dif ference between junior high and elementary math. “While I was in elementary school I was always ahead of the class in math. But now that I’m in junior high and in Math GT ( gifted and talented) I find that it is a lot harder than I expect ed." Since Bynum has been attending Northeast he has learned to appreciate some of his former teachers more. While Mrs. Hemphill stands out as his favorite teacher because of her self paced math class. Bynum reflected that the strictness of his fourth grade teach er, Mrs. Uzell has cer tainly helped him in many ways. This year Bynum has limited his activities to the band where he plays saxo phone and the Little League football where he plays end and quarterback. However, before he leaves Northeast Bynum would like to join the football or the basketball team. Aside from school Bynum enjoys skiing and Sunday School. At Friend ship Baptist Church, where he is a member, Bynum plans to become an usher Occasionally, he appears on the children s program, “E-Z Street,” seen on Channel 3. The son of Thelmetia and Dr. Raleigh Bynum, Bynum has one sister, Monjya, 12 and one brother Raleigh Bynum II, 14 A young man as consci entious as Bynum has cer tainly given some thought to the future. When he gets older Bynum remarked, “I'd like to invent some thing and become the presi dent of a bie comoanv.” Some Women Prefer Midwives Continued From Cage 1 wife is much cheaper than that by an obstetrician," Ferguson pointed out. Dr. Kenneth Chambers agreed witli the cost factor. He added, “the number of doctors is decreasing; therefore, it's likely obste trical costs will continue to ^ferri Zweber an in structor at UNC Charlotte worked as a midwife in 1966 when she was a missionary in East Africa. “1 see no reason why midwives and obstetricians cannot work together," she expressed. While many doctors and midwives are willing to compromise, organizations such as the American Me dical Association discour age the idea of midwifery. So does Mike Cates. director of the Mecklen burg County Medical So ciety. “I’m opposed to mid wifery because there are too many risks." he de clared. Cates especially believed babies delivered by mid wives are exposed to more infections during their de livery. "With today’s tech nology, children should not be exposed to such a risk," projected the doctor Zweber countered Cates’ belief, stating, “midwives are quite capable of ful filling obstetrical perfor mances, except perhaps in extreme complications.” If you’re interested in becoming a certified mid wife, the outlook is be coming more positive. This is likely the result of in terest groups who believe midwives should be more accessible for people in terested in their services. However, in Charlotte there are no midwife train ing programs in hospitals nor schools. Dr MacDon ald mentioned a few col leges in South Carolina offer graduate courses in midwifery. < )bservanoe Week October 10-16 has been proclaimed Legal Secre taries Court Observance Week. To promote participation in this observance, the Charlotte Legal Secre taries Association will pre sent a “mock trial" on Tuesday, October 12, 1982, in Superior Courtroom 305 at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse.
