TAXPAYERS ONCE AGAIN
TAKEN FOR A RIDE
Br Blcardo Raffles
The politicians once again,
with the aid of a few big
wheels are trying to ram down
the unsuspecting throats of the
majority of the taxpayers a
decision made by them, that
the city of G eensboro, Wins
ton-Salem and High Point are
in need of a Triad Stadium
Complex; this Triad to be used
as facilities of use for Bigtime
Football, Baseball, Stock Car
Racing, and other usages. They
have painted a rosy picture of
how wonderful it would be to
have Triad in our area and
pronpine the other sections of
North Carolina, including their
old Nemesis: Charlotte. A fact
finding group was brought in
somewhere out of the
Midwest and paid a stipend and
pnvp nut their findings that the
Tri-City Area could and was
able to support a Triad Com
plex. Isn't that wonderful! Yet
just the last month or so, our
illustrious manager of the
Greensboro Coliseum stated
that the coliseum was losing
money on many of the shows
and productions coming to
Greensboro. In meanwhile
crowds were diminishing and
growing smaller at some of the
gravy train events like hockey
and wrestling and Just the
other day, when a two-day
tournament of crowd pleasers
like N. C. State, Wake Forest,
Maryland and Virginia Univer
sity playing basketball at the
coliseum could only draw a
csn"c'tv crowd of three thous
and. then we talk about en
larging the collaeum to hold
larger crowds How many times
a year do you think you can
have a capacity crowd at the
coliseum? How much money
can people spend for sports
events, day after day? Now
they talk about bringing in a
new Triad Stadium. Where is
the money coming from? As
always, a bond referendum will
be held to finance the SEVEN
TEEN MILLION needed to
build this Triad? So now comes
the buttering up process and
the taxpayers sold propaganda
type of campaign of their needs
and public pride to showoff to
their neighbors of Charlotte and
Raleigh. Why this area is loaded
down with sport complexes and
another addition to the ones we
have is downright criminal!
Made more criminal by the fact
that while we are piddling
around with these pipe dreams
of glamor and grandeur and
material gain, we could put the
seventeen million bucks for
projects that would really pay
dividends in a longer and hap
pier life for each individual In
North Carolina. Seventeen mll
4km. wouldn't go far, but It
would :be ? start Air golfeitian,
Wftter "polltntoB, cure "ot cancer
? those three as a start could
save thousands of lives and al
leviate the suffering of many
throughout our state. All the
money that we have been pour
ing down the drain for the
material waste of men's and
women's lives, could be better
put to use for the ftiture of the
bodies and health longevity of
our citizens. A word to the wise
is sufficient. . . Vote NO. . . ON
BOND ISSUE FOR TRIAD
STADIUM COMPLEX.

Pre-Season Pep Talk
T? Walker Pays Off
For Soring i & T
Team
A pre-season pep talk by
A&T Coach Cal Irvin to 6-7
Vernon Walker is paying hand
some dividends for the Aggies.
Irvin told Walker the only
way the Aggies could win in
basketball this season was (or
Walker to pull down 24 re
bounds per game. The beefy
Junior from High Point, N. C.,
has been averaging just about
that number of grabs and A&T
is 5-0 after five starts.
The Aggies' latest wins have
been 101-80 over Livingstone,
66-63 over Morgan State, and
92-68 over Bluefield State.
It was against Livingstone
last Monday night that Walker
contributed his season high of
27 rebounds. He also chipped in
19 points as the speedy Aggies
almost ran the Bears off the
court.
"There is no doubt that Wal
ker has become our key man,"
said Irvin. "He wants to re
bound and he has become a
team leader."
Another player who has
emerged as a team leader Is
versatile Daryle Cherry. For
the third straight game, Cher
ry, who is also a football star,
led the Aggies in scoring this
time with 29 points. He com
pletely pulverized Livingstone's
defenses with his 25-foot jump

Detroit Scope
Magazine Examines
The Sex Factor
Ii Racism
"Although it is a large factor
in white and black relation
ships, people seem hesitant to
talk about the sex factor in
racism. There are few books on
the subject and no studies of
attitude. Sex and racism is a
gut issue. The white man has
perpetuated sexual myths about
blacks to help keep the blacks
in chains."
So says Ellen Karasik in an
article in the January 14 issue
of Detroit Scope magazine.
According to Miss Karasik,
"The fear, reservations and
curiosity about blacks in con
nection with sex seem to be
deeply ingrained in racial prej
udice and the irrationality be
hind it. The sex factor may well
be the greatest barrier to racial
harmony, our most powerful
subconscious excuse for racism.
"For hundreds of years the
white man has expressed his
fear of black sexuality by beat
ing, castrating and lynching
black men for as much as look
ing at a white woman ? even
though the white man created
the myths in the first place.
"The white man said the
black man was Just an animal,
good for nothing but manual
labor and procreation. The
