AfflMIATlVI 01 NICATIVi. ■r JOE COODSON ^ L«e«l MardiMt Yes, I think a junior citizens association is definitely needed locally. A junior citizens ossociotioa could serve mony functions tiraf would moke our communities much better pieces to live. I feel that such on orponization could be very helpful in preporing young block men ond women to porticipote fully in all things that hove a direct affect on their lives. It could provide for political education so thot we would be prepared and porticipote os city councilmen; so thot we would recognize the importonce of school boords, planning boords, and housing boords,- so that we would understand and affect the positions that pditicions toke through the power of the bollot. A junior citizens association could help develop or>d support much needed culturoi programs in our community. Such an orgonizotion could help promote oil forms of fine arts and encourage young people to be performers as well ts observers. A junior citizens associotion could begin to provide a leadership role in setting on otmosphere of brotherhood inour our community. Maybe such on orgonizotion could hove some positive effect on the negotive octions of blocks who constantly fight eoch other. There hos always been o need for block orgonizotions to come together os o united front to help solve the mony problems thot plague our communities. Maybe o junior citizens ossociotion is an orgonizotion thot could puli the many special interest groups together to hondle the problems ot hand. I think it is "high time" that young blocks become involved with the "nuts ond bolts" of fostering block togetherness, block pride, ond most of oil, block power. i . ^ JOE GOOOSON ilKI.SMAN TK(»PliY WINNER — Tony Dorselt of PitUburgh, the I97S ruebing champion and only (-lillege player ever to gain more than S.OOO yardi in hit career, cietchen the lleitnian Trophy Tuesday after winning the coveted award. tl'PI' JDifferent Reason Given ^or Firing Of R. Ingle Ronald Ingle, the fired director of the North Carolina Human Relations Commission .said when he w-as fired Nov. 19, that his firing came at the heels of his releasing information to members of the press that files that may have exonerated the Wilmington 10 were missing from the Human Relations Commissions office. Bill Deal, assistant secretary of the North Carolina Depart ment of Administration said the firing resulted from Ingle's being a poor administrator. On Nov. 10. Ingle fired Wesley Allen, director of the Co-Ed project of the N.C. Human Relations Commission. Allen appealed his firing to Deal who said that he upheld the firing, primarily because the correct procedure was used by Ingle. Deal said on two previous occasions Ingle had come to him informing him that Allen was going to be fired but did not follow the correct procedures established in the piersonnel handbook. Ingle could not be reached for comment on Deal’s assertion. Allen, a young black man was the third project director of Co-Ed projwl to be asked to leave the position since Ingle has been top administrator of the Human Relations Commis sion.
