PAGE 8 'mE TRIBUNAL AID INSIGHT: For Teens Only by Miller Carter, Jr. Black folk run around saying “I can’t get ahead in this world because of the white man”. In my opinion it’s not the white mans fault, but a fault of our own. Black folk could have it made in life but don’t take the chances that are given to them. We could be on top like the white man but we spend all of our time partying and getting high, When we get out in public, sometimes we act like pure “nuts”. A lot of things we do are unnecessary. We have, in many cases, the talent and ability but thats not all that it takes to make it to the top. It also takes self-discipline and will power. If we fail the first time we are ready to give up, if things don’t go our way we argue and curse, and if a white man says something we almost always take it the wrong way and are ready to fight. Now, is that anyway to get things done? Life is what we make it, and only we can tell whether we are going to be somebody, as in the words of a poem which I wrote: Life is what you make it. And only you can tell, If your life will be successful. Or headed straight to hell. If we intend to get anything out of life we must put something into it. As we travel around in life we are bound to make a mistake or two but don’t give up, we must learn to benefit from our mistakes. There are some people in our “black society” who make it bad for all the rest. There are also some people who would like to get ahead in this world, but those who are making things bad are standing in the way. Let me give a little example; The teacher in my band class was absent for a few days, and he left instructions for his “student helper” to direct the band. When she got up to direct, some of the black students got there chance to act a fool and they did. The students complained that she was no better than anyone else and asked why she got to direct the band. They disrupted the class for the entire period. Of course they were students in class who wanted to learn but couldn’t. This is what I mean when 1 say it’s not the fault of the white man when we can’t get ahead, it’s the black man’s fault. Now I hope you can see what 1 mean when I say that life is what we make it. If we intend to get anything out of life we must put something into it. Remember: “Work hard to make a future. Work hard and never stop, ‘Cause once you’re off the bottom. You’re headed for the top.

He made his recital debut this April at the Kennedy center in Washington under the auspices of the Washington Performing Arts Society. Versatile and many faceted, the young musi cian enjoys reading, follow ing the political situation of today, and even does some cooking. He makes birth day cakes for special people when the occasion calls for it. What about his .social life? Well, there is not too much but enough to make life interesting. On dates he goes to the theater, concerts and ballets. Beginning September 1974 Leon took on the new role of teacher at famed Oberlin Conservatory. Judging from his past record as one who succeeds, he should do very well. His program will include selections from Chopin, Rachmaninoff and George Walker. BUY-SEIL-RENI-HIRE. ili WEMJESDAY.
