But unlike the fairy tale, they are not sure if "slow but steady" will get anyone across the finish line. Robert Cannon, UNC's affirmative action officer, said affirmative action had not fully accomplished what it was meant to do: ensure that a black person has the same opportunity to get a job as a white person. Cannon said the job outlook for blacks had not significantly improved because basic attitudes haven't changed. "When a black person applies for a job. he is viewed based on skin color and not on his experiences or his cre dentials," Cannon said. "Sometimes an employer may hire a white instead of a black simply because it may be better for business. The employer considers which person the customers will be more comfortable with, and in many cases the employer decides that it is the white applicant. "In some cases there is the matter of racism. I know of cases w here the black applicant has had better credentials than the white, but the employer did not hire the black due to prejudice." But others believe that blacks, within the local community in particular, have not helped themselves by their atti tudes and actions about work. Linda Avery has an employer's view as a black assistant manager at Hardee's. "Many of the blacks in this town For the In the "Student Congress Budget Allocations" chart in the Daily Tar Heel on Feb. 26, three figures were cited incorrectly.

"I've noticed the black people in this town seem to be satisfied with going to the shelter for the homeless and the Community Kitchen for free food. "Some of the black men will come here to get some coffee and just sit around to talk. They could be working, but apparently they may not feel that it is important. And they are so unclean in appearance. I know if they came to me for a job, I would not hire them." Avery said it bothered her to see black people come into her place of work with a filthy appearance because it reflects poorly on her race. "I try to tell those guys to get their act together and get a job. I even offer some of them a job, but they won't take advantage of the opportunity. Even if they do fill out the resume, their writing is so messy most of the times that you don't want to hire them, since they could not take the time to fill out a resume properly." Meanwhile, there is constant debate on the worth of affirmative action whether it is "for better or for worse" for blacks and whites. It is almost impossible to have a constructive de bate on the merits of policy, however, because definitions of "affirmative action" differ greatly from person to person. Record Employment Service received $4,563 from Student Congress, and the Execu tive Branch asked for $25,730 and received $23,672.

Cannon said. "Affirmative action is not meant as a way for whites to pay the blacks back for what happened many years ago. I'm insulted that anyone would even think this because it makes me think society may feel blacks can't provide for themselves." Affirmative action is necessary not simply because of the historical op pression of black people, but because black people are denied the same op portunities as whites, said Eddie Cot ton, a black resident of Carrboro. 'The white man does not owe me anything except a chance. I don't look at affirmative action as a way of the white man paying me back for what happened in the past between our an cestors because that is in the past." Shay Alderman, a white freshman from Aberdeen, said affirmative action was not fair to blacks or whites. Alder man said she knew of some cases where a black student was admitted to the University instead of a white student because the University tries to main tain a minimum number of minority students. "I have some white friends who had brilliant scores on their SATs and had good grades in high school, but they did not get accepted. In the meantime, I personally know of some black stu dents who did not have nearly as high of scores on their SATs or high school TUESDAY 3:30 p.m.: The UNC Program in Social Theory and the Institute for Research in Social Science present "W.E.B.

Something is. wrong somewhere. This is not fair." : . But Cotton said affirmative action" was necessary because racism stilK exists. "Affirmative action is fair because' many black men will not be able to get a job without it. Most of the businesses are owned by whites, and unless you put a white man in a forceful situation to hire a black man, he won't do it." Cannon stressed that education is an important factor in changing the atti tudes of society about blacks in the workplace. He said blacks themselves will have to become more educated about opportunities and requirements. "A black should not say he is being discriminated against if he has not even met the minimum requirements for the job. In these times we are living in, a post-secondary education is vital in the job market." Blacks have earned the respect of whites. Cannon said, and now is the time to change the attitude that blacks are not qualified to enter the profes sional world. "Black people have worked like hell to get things accomplished for them selves," Cannon said. "They have even fought in wars and died for their coun try and democracy. Now society needs to extend that democracy to the blacks and be fair to them whenever they apply for jobs." for when hiring teachers.
