McCoo, host of the television pro
gram "Solid Gold" and former Fifth
Dimension stagar, will be ana of the
many atari adding entertainment,
fun and excitement to the IBM "Loo
Rawla Parada of Stan" telethon.
Thla will be McCoo1* fourth year
on the program, servtng as Rawla’
co-boat along with Ed
Thla la the sixth year at tha ’Pa
rade of Stan.” The.show airs 1
Saturday, December M, from 6-13

"It is a great fading for my
husfafnd Billy DavtsXand me to
be Involved with such a tremen
dously important program as this,
which benefits 43 predominantly
Mack institutions of higher learn
ing,” said McCoo.
“These schools are vital to the de
velopment of our country," McCoo
added. "Many of our nationally
known Mack elected officials and
thousands of Mack men and women
In various profession* across the
country are graduates of black col
leges and universities."
The private, historically black col
leges represent fewer then four
percent of American colleges. Yet,

they enroll an astounding 35 per
cent of all blacks attending four
year colleges and universities. En
rollment at these schools has in
creased more than 10 percent since
1970.
“Thanks to Lou Rawls and Ed
McMahon and the sponsors involved
in this program, the ‘Lou Rawls
Parade of Stars' continues to raise
funds that are needed to help keep
the doors of opportunity open at
black colleges,’’ the former Fifth
Dimension star said.
Traditionally, UNCF students de
pend on low-tuition rates. The cost of
attending a UNCF school is about
two-thirds the tuition and expense at
private colleges nationally.
Most UNCF students come from
low-income families. They can
expect no financial help from their
parents. Ninety percent of the stu
dents require scholarships and loans
provided by the UNCF.
McCoo added, “In addition to
helping the students get into
school, the money raised by the
UNCF and the ‘Lou Rawls Parade of
Stars’ helps the 43 UNCF member
colleges and universities to keep
pace with modem technology, de
velop facilities, and attract out
standing faculty members.’’
The "Lou Rawls Parade of Stars”
is made possible with the support of
