More Sergeants
Need To Be On
Police Force
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.
(AP)—The number of minority
sergeant* on the city’s police force
will swell with a federal Judge’s order
in a legal fight over alleged racial
discrlminatin in promotions.
U.S. District Judge Benjamin P.
Gibson ruled that the police
department must fill half of all
vacant sergeant positions wilh
minority officers pending the
outcome of a discrimination lawsuit
filed by nine officers.
However, the ruling also bars any
vacancies from being filled on a
permanent basis.
The seven black, one Hispanic and
one American Indian policemen filed
suit against the city March 7, alleging
they were denied promotions because
of their race. At the heart of the cast*
is a written exam and performance
evaluation that the officers contend is
discriminatory.
The city agreed not to fill any of the
six vacancies for sergeant positions
now open pending Thursday's
hearing on whether a temporary
injunction should be granted.
However, attorneys for the
plaintiffs and for the city met behind
closed doors most of Thursday and
emerged with a plan calling for the
appointment of acting sergeants
while the lawsuit is pending.
Gibson agreed to the plan, which
calls for half of the present vacancies
to be filled by minorities. Every
alternate position that becomes open
also must be filled by a minority
officer.
The department now has ime
minority in its 45 command positions,
a Hispanic seriwmi
t his case could take years, and in
the meantime, there will be sergeants
on the force and on the streets,” said
Steven Drew, lawyer for the
•plaintiffs.
Drew said he was pleased with the
ruling, but that he did not consider it
an admission of guilt on th epart of
the city.
Deputy City Attorney Doug Walton,
who spent much of the day meeting
with Drew, said he though the
agreement was fair.

exercisers work out at least three
times a week, according to the
Reebok Aerobic Information Bureau.
An International Dance-Exercise
Association survey of 831 dancers
found that 40 percent of them exercis
ed three times a week, 13 percent ex
ercised four times a week and 18 per
cent exercised five or more times
weekly.

Black Legislator Says
Use Political Process
AUSTIN (AP>—A biucK legislator
on Saturday told the Texas
Association of Black Chambers of
Commerce its members must get
involved in politics to be successful in
business.
“So few times groups like yours,
that ought to be immersed in it,
divorce yourselves from the political
process," said Rep. Wilhelmina
Delco, D-Austin.
She said the perception is, if I’m out
there doing my thing and I'm working
hard to develop the contacts and the
financial base and what I need to do
to be a successful business person, I
can afford to shun that nasty, awful,
dirty business that you call politics.
“I’m standing here to tell you that
there is no way...that you can be a
successful business person, I don’t
care what your business is, without
being involved in the political
process. There’s just no way,” she
said.
Ms. Delco, chairman of the House
Higher Education Committee and a
member of the Business and
Commerce Committee, spoke to a
predominantly black audience of
approximately 50 persons.
She stressed what she called “3
Cs”, communication, cooperation
ind coordination.
♦-She said she had been told that
black chambers are steadily
growing, and added, “Can you
imagine the power that would really
exist if we spanned this country with
a network that says black businesses
are as close as my telephone? And if I
can do anything that will help a
brother or a sister someplace, I am
willing to do it.
“Instead of fighting a system that,
has been all too obviously resistant to
what we are about, we ought to learn
to take advantage of that system,"
Ms. Delcosairf
AiDS Vaccine
Expected Soon
From Research
CHAPEL HILL (AP)-Years of
cancer research have so advanced
scientific knowledge about the AIDS
virus that a vaccine for acquired im
mune deficiency syndrome could
come in the next decade, researchers
say.
Unlike cancer, which takes many
forms, AIDS ‘‘is a more discrete
disease, we know what causes it, and
we know a huge amount about how
the virus is working,” said Dr.
Howard Oxer, director of clinical af
fairs at the Lineberger Cancer
Research Center, where hundreds of
researchers gathered last week for a
symposium on the immune system.
As a result, there is a greater
chance for an AIDS vaccine soon, ,
Oxer said.
“I think the implication is we will
have one in five to 10 years,” he said.
For cancer, the outlook is not as
good, with no cure expected before
the year 2000, scientists said.
Tak Mak, a scientist at the Ontario
Cancer Institute, said commonly us
ed cancer treatments like radiation
and chemotherapy are not likely to
become any more effective. .
Research is focusing more on
manipulating the immune system so
such cancer therapies are less
destructive.
“You should not expect a magic
bullet tomorrow as far as a cancer
treatment,” Mak said. “I think at this
point, 2S years after seeking a
therapy, that the drugs we have
developed are not going to be any bet
ter because of the intrinsic problem
of cancer treatment—radiation and
chemotherapy—that every time you
kill a tumor cell, you kill some nor- '■
mal cells ”
