THE TRIBUNAL AID VOLUME 1, NO. 16 WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 12, 1973 SERVICE TO ALL 15 CENTS PRESS RUN 5000 HIGH POINT THOMASVILLE WINSTON-SALEM WHITES. NOT HELPING LEAK Mrs. Ni. M. Griffin Visits Waikiki XREENSBORO, N.C. — Speakers to the National Black Alliance on Grad uate-Level Education ci ted the historical role of black colleges, and called for more involvement by predominately-white gra duate schools in edu cating blacks. “Black colleges and universities with fewer resources than white institutions of higher education have developed effective techniques of teaching the educational ly handicapped,” said Dr. Arthur E. Teele, keynote speaker at last Friday night’s banquet at the Hilton Inn. Teele, dean of the Graduate School at Flor ida A&M University, said a recent study of 1,000 black with PH.D. degrees. revealed that 74 percent of these persons took their bachelor’s degrees at predominately-black in stitutions. He cited similar figures for blacks holding high level positions in the military and Congress. “Contemporary black college students,’’ said Teele, “are more inclined to view the university as a laboratory to teach them how to survive as agents of change.” In his address to the group, Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, chancellor of A&T State University, chided predominately white graduate schools because he said “no predominantly white in stitution is awarding a minimal acceptable per centage of its degrees to blacks. “We have proclaimed equality of education as a national policy, but we have permitted segrega tion because of the accident of a person's birth, race and color.” Dowdy said a recent study he conducted, revealed that only about 4.2 percent of the enrollment in graduate schools is black. “In my study,” he said, “no university had a black enrollment in the gradu ate school of 10 percent.” He said North Carolina’s three medical schools in 1973 graduated a total of seven black doctors. “There are 120 black doctors in the state,” said Dowdy, “and at that rate of graduation, it would take 18 years to replenish the supply of black doctors.” Conducts Revival Dr. Jetry Drayton conducted a week long revival in Newberry, South Carolina August 19-24. The revival was held at Bethesda Baptist Church, pastor Rev. J. C. Copeland. A bus load of New Bethel members were at the South Carolina Chur ch to hear Dr. Drayton preach the opening ser vice. The group was entertained highly by the host church. This ex change of being present at each other’s church on the opening day of the revival between Betherda and New Bethel has proved to be quite inspirational. It has im proved the relationship of the churches and has become an annual affair. There were four candi dates for baptism during the week. Talent Laden GREENSBORO, N. C. - As usual North Carolina A&T State University produced its share of outstanding athletes last season, and the nationally famous magazine “Black Sports” honored three of Aggielands’ All- Americans.

They heard reports on several proposals and decided to take action at its September 10, 1973 meet ing. Attendance at the Task Force meeting, as well as at Council meetings, has been a problem and; therefore, has not pro vided the Council with necessary information and representation.

As a part of its services, the Division of Facility Ser vices of the State Department of Human Resources licenses these foster care facilities. Before the Division can even consider licensing a foster family home, tho ugh, it must know whether the people apply ing as foster parents can love and care for children who are not their own—whether they can make the children part of their family and concern themselves with the children’s total needs. A foster home licensing study is prepared by the local county department of social services and is submitted to the Division of Social Services for review. After reviewing these studies the Division of Social Services makes a recommendation regard ing issuance of a license by'the Division of Facility Services. According to Mrs. Sylvia Stikeleather,super visor of foster care services for the Division of Social Services, “It’s the people we’re really licensing, but we must take into consideration such standards as fire and sanitation require ments before a foster family home can be licensed.” She stated that though a family might love children very much, if they could not provide them with certain basic Continued on Page 2 WHAT’S INSIDE EJiditbrials 4 Entertainment 5 Religion 3 LHigh Point Thomasville Winston-Salem SUPPORT THE ADVERTISING MERCHANTS OF THIS, YOUR NEWSPAPER!
