Racial Dialogue Hosts
Lincoln Sunday Night
In YM-YWCA Program
Tntoria
Dr. Eric Lincoln the final
speaker in the Racial Dialogue
Symposium will speak on "The
New Black in Search of a Self"
at the Wesley Foundation
Sunday, Oct. 20 at 8:00 p.m.
Dr. Lincoln is currently
professor of sociology and
religion at Union Theological
Seminary in New York. He was
educated at Lemoyne College,
Fish University (M.A.), the
University of Chicago (B.D.),
and Boston University (M.Ed,
and Ph.d.).
He is known for coining the
term "Black Muslims" in his
acclaimed study, The Black
Muslims in America.
Lincoln is also the author of
My Face Is Black, The Negro
Pilgrimage in America, and
Sounds of the Struggle (1967).
He frequently contributes to
The New York Times Magazine
and The Christian Century.
Dr. Lincoln has taught on
the faculties of Clark College,
Portland State, Dartmouth
College, and Brown University.
He is an ordained minister of
the United Methodist Church.
Lincoln has recently been at
work on a biographical
assessment of Adam Clayton
Powell and spent this past
summer in Africa.
"Lincoln is remarkably
objective and shrewdly
analytical while remaining
aware of his own experience
with the frustrations that have
created the Black Muslim,"
says Nat Hentoff in The
Reporter.
"(Lincoln) has produced the
only definitive book on rituals,
beliefs and accomplishments of
the Muslims, but he has done a
beautiful job of placing the
movement within its
psychological and sociological
context," says the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution.
The Saturday Reriew was
that Lincoln "writes with
clarity, with compassion, and
with some evidence of deep
p ersonal conflict
Provocative . . . dispas
sionate . . . thorough."

A 21-year old UNC coed and
a seventh grade girl relaxed
with a literature book on a
patio behind Guy B. Phillips
Junior High School.
"Now do you remember
what the word client means?
Nancy Isphording asked.
"No ma'am," the giri
grinned sheepishly, "but I've
heard it lots of times on TV on
Judd for the Defense."
Such conversations were
common this week as more
than 200 UNC students began
Participating in the
YM-YWCA's tutorial project
Now in its fourth year, the
program encourages university
students to tutor local
elementary and junior high
Bouse
school pupils.
"Most of the students who
are tutored simply need
individual attention," said Mrs.
Stewart Ellington, a Phillips
Junior High teacher.
"Sometimes all they need is
someone to help them with
their study habits and to tell
them to write down their
assignments."

The election of Dr. Paul E.
Shearin, who resigned as
chairman of the UNC Physics
Department in 1956 to devote
full time to teaching and to
research, was announced last
week at a Section meeting held
at the University of Georgia in
Athens. As chairman-elect he
will assume the presidency of
the section next year.
A worldwide essay
competition on the subject
"Gandhiji and the
Emancipation of Man" is being
offered to all students and
adults in the U.S. as part of
Mahatma Gandhi's birth
centenary being held in India
during the next year.

Russian, or Arabic. Anyone

participate in this contest Two
winners in each category in
each language will be chosen.
Miss K. Nair, First Secretary

Embassy, says the contest is
meant "for our friends from
abroad."
The winners will receive
economy class roundtrip air
fares for a month's trip to
India in October 1969. All
expenses during their stay will

Mrs. Jean Luker, a YWCA staff
member. With the assistance of
student co-chairmen Linda
Sieber and Bill Conway, Mrs.
Luker coordinates the selection
of totors and places them in
local schools. She said that
interested students applied for
tutorial positions earlier this
fall and were interviewed.
Miss Sieber said the response
was so enthusiastic that some
applicants had to be cut since
there weren't enough available
positions,
UNC students' reasons for
tutoring are as varied as the
subjects they're working in.
Many of them, like junior
Susan McKenzie, plan to major
in education.
"Unless you're up-and-down
positive about going into
education,' Susan said, "I fell
it's necessary to do something
like this. But it's also a great
thing for people who just plain
want to do something for
somebody."
Most of the UNC students
had never tutored before, and
like sophomore Timi Case,
were not quite sure what to
expect Timi tutors two boys
in second grade reading and
was shocked at how poorly
they read. She said they were
self-conscious at first, but they
were eager for her to help
them.
"They just hang all over
you, she said.
Senior Pam Perkins had a
similar experience with her two
first grade pupils at Glen wood
Elementary SchooL
"The little girl kept playing
with my pigtails," she recalled.
"I had to make it seem like a
game."
One of a tutor's objectives is
often to overcome the child's
shyness. English major Cynthia
Yeager feels many of the
children seem to lack
self-confidence, but that a
tutor can "build them up" a
Utile.
Another phase of the
tutorial program is an
afternoon study hall for first
through sixth grades at Old
Northside SchooL Senior
English major Ted Page, study
hall coordinator, says that
about 50 tutors there help
pupils with their homework
and study habits.
Arts To Be Exhibited
"I can't think of any other job where a guy
my age could find himself working with the
board of directors of a ten million dollar
company," says Peter Anderson.
Peter joined IBM after he earned his B.A.
in Economics in 1964. As a Marketing Repre
sentative, he's involved in the planning, selling
and installation of IBM data processing
systems."! look at myself more as a consultant
or educator than as a salesman," says Peter.
Work with company presidents
"It's not unusual for me to answer the phone
and find myself talking to a company presi
dent." (The annual sales of Peter's customers
range from one half million to 10 million dol
lars.) "These men are looking for solutions to
problems not a sales pitch," says Peter. "For
instance, one manufacturer's inventory was
so uncontrolled he never knew when
he could promise delivery. We worked out a
system that tells him what stock items he
needs, when he needs them and the date he
can deliver."
Broad experience
"I cover a lot of different businesses man
ufacturers, distributors, chemical processors,
real estate brokers, linen suppliers you
name it.
"And the freedom really pays off. You're
given a quota and a territory. How you manage
it is pretty much up to you." Already Peter
has netted 24 new accounts and seen 1 8 new
systems installed. He has just been promoted
to a new staff position.
You'll find many IBM Marketing and Sales
Representatives who could tell you of similar
experiences. And they have many kinds of
college backgrounds: business, engineering,
liberal arts, science. They not only sell data
processing equipment as Peter does, but also
IBM office products and information records
systems. Many of the more technically inclined!
are data processing Systems Engineers.
