Robinson I LOVELY ANGELA ERWIN “Beauty of the Week™ Angela Erwin Appears * Determined To Succeed By Karen Parker Post Staff Writer Angela Erwin, 20, has definite sights on her immediate and future plans. The junipr at Winston Salem State University plans to complete summer school in June, and then it’s off to San Francisco. Those are the immediate plans. Once our beauty completes undergraduate and graduate school she imagines she’ll be mana ger or owner of a company. When Ms. Erwin travels to San Francisco next month, she’s not sure just how long she’ll be away. The summer is hers to enjoy sightseeing, touring, and more while on the sunny west coast. Angela explained, she's visiting her uncle, Terry Grier, who’s in the navy.

She has one older sister, Lisa. “I selected Winston-Salem State because I wanted to go to a school close to home,” Erwin noted. She emphasized another reason she attended a predom inantly black university was to learn more about her heritage. Erwin doesn’t feel other colleges are in touch with black heritage. At school, Erwin is an Alpha Phi Alpha sweet heart, a University Usher and a member of the Queen City Club. "I like the Queen City Club because it’s a group of students from Charlotte,” Erwin commented. ‘‘We get together and have fund raising events and other activities.” Even though Erwin has enjoyed living in Charlotte, she projected she’d like to live in another city after graduating. ‘‘I want to attend graduate school at a large predominantly black college like Howard University. Erwin feels Washington, O.C. or Atlanta are cities which she'd like to make a business move in. A 1982 graduate of Harding High School, Erwin enjoys reading mysteries, singing and ira ~'pfeT5gfratrng: ~M> philos^ ophy of life is 'TJie surest way not to fail is to be determined to succeed.’ ” Erwin remembered applying that philosophy once when she was a can didate for class president. She didn’t win that office, however she was eventually elected sec retary. “I had the confidence to keep going, so I still won an office,” Erwin smiled. She doesn’t find too many displeasing things about life, however, she’d like to see less prejudice. Erwin believes especially in the business sector, too many people are being dis criminated against. ‘‘If I could make a change in world affairs, I'd eliminate discrimination,” Erwin insisted. Erwin has always held esteem for her grand parents, James and Ella Grier, and Mattie Erwin. My grandfather owns an alteration shop so I've learned a lot about business from him,” she stated proudly. However, if Erwin had to put a favorite person at the top of a list, she knew right off it’d be her mother. She always supports me,” Erwin said. "If I take one step, she encourages me to take two more,” she added. Black Wor en And The Vote Conference Set Hunt Reweafc New Health Care Plans Calling runaway health costs a “threat to the fu ture security of older Ame ricans,” Governor James B Hunt Jr. unveiled a plan to protect Social Security and assure affordable health care for senior ci tizens. “Medical costs today are growing two to three times faster than inflation,” said Hunt. Higher health bills not only make medical care harder to afford, but also drive up insurance premiums and add to busi ness costs, he added. “For example, the cost of health insurance now adds more to the price of a new car _than the cost of the s^l in it does. “But older Americans - and the Medicare program upon which they depend - faces the most serious and immediate threat,” Hunt continued. “Without bold action soon, the Medicare program will go bankrupt by 1990. “I propose a comprehen sive long-term strategy - designed to keep Medicare solvent without cutting back on the quality of care older Americans receive or raising the payroll taxes working Americans pay." Hunt said his plan “would cancel the blank check hospitals now have when it comes to billing patients. Instead of just filling in a fee, hospitals would be put on a budget for the first time - and they would have to stick to that budget " ‘‘This strategy also makes economic sense,” Hunt explained. It would cut federal health spending by $176 billion by 1995 And it attacks our health pro blem in the fairest possible way - by cutting costs, not raising taxes or chopping benefits .” Hunt also invited the people of North Carolina to compare his "positive con structive plan to protect See HUNT On Page 5A ^ — ■■■ ,, .«»■, .m.
