Bush Won’t
Address NVl
Next Week
DETROir, Mich. (AP)-Vice
President George Bush’s decision
against addressing the National Ur
ban League next week is a “serious
miscalculation” that could hurt Mm
among black voters, the president of
the group said Friday.
“I believe it is a critical error on
the part of the Bush campaign to not
come and address this group,” John
E. Jacob said. “We did not offer the
invitation because we needed so
meone to come fill up a slot. We can
get speakers to come to the Urban
League.”
The 5,000 largely middle-class and
affluent blacks gathering for the
league’s annual conference will hear
from Democratic presidential
nominee Michael Dukakis on Monday
night and from Jesse Jackson on
Wednesday.
New York Congressman Jack
Kemp, who sought the GOP nomina
tion until Bush pulled away from the
field during the primaries, is part of a
Tuesday night panel discussion on the
1968 election.
“I would not care to characterize it
as an Insult,” Jacob said of the Bush
campaign’s action. “We believe it is
important to anyone who in 1968
believes that he will occupy the White
House to recognize that the black vote
is critical to that. Obviously the peo
ple who were advising the vice presi
dent and the vice president himself
disagree with that.”
Sheila Tate, a spokeswoman for
Bush’s campaign in Washington, did
not return two phone calls seeking
comment.
Jacob said the profile of the
average league member—charac
terized as a 34-to-54-year-old college
educated black, earning at least
$30,000 a year—made the league a
good forum for a GOP candidate. The
league itself is non-partisan,
partisan.
“You’ve got to appreciate the pro
file because if there are any black
folks in America who just might be
sensitive to giving an audience to the
vice president, it would be a group
with this profile,” Jacob said. “The
fact that they do not have an ap
preciation for this profile not only
sends a message to this group but it
sends even a greater message to the
group that doesn’t fit that profile.
“It’s in his best interest to present
his case to black America,” Jacob
said. “The fact that be obviously feels
he can get elected without it I think is '
a serious miscalculation on his part.”

wwaerstty 9jmtmm Requirement* Amk
Three Specific Mathematics Courses
North Carolina’s state univer
sities—the 16 campuses of the Univer
sity of North Carolina system—con
sider mathematics a basic skill for
university students. Newly-imposed
requirements for admission to any of
the universities demand that all
entering freshmen have high school
credits for three specific
mathematics courses—two courses in
algebra and one in geometry.
The emphasis on
mathematics—more courses are re
quired in that area than in any area
other than English—is under
standable to Dr. Mattie E. Ross,
associate dean of North Carolina Cen
tral University’s College of Arts and
Sciences and the university’s coor
dinator of teacher training programs
in mathematics.
mauiemancs has applications to
many areas; in almost every area
you can find a use for mathematics in
some way. I think it is for this reason
that we require students to take these
three courses in high school.
“The geometry focuses on logical,
deductive reasoning quite a bit,
something you can apply anywhere.
“And now the focus is on the ap
plication of mathematics—if you’re
in the social sciences, how can you
use mathematics to help you do cer
tain things*"
Dr. Moss said the emphasis on pro
blem solving common to today’s
mathematics courses does increase
student interest in mathematics.'
When the student sees mathematics
applied to problems which are of per
sonal interest, its value becomes
more apparent.
“In teaching mathematics, one of
the questions I was asked most fre
quently was, ‘What can I ever do with
this?’’’ says Dr. Moss. “And in past
years, students were simply taught
the rules and procedures, with very
little emphasis on the problem
solving and applications aspects.
This has changed now, so that
students are being shown what they
can do with mathematics.”
Dr. Moss says high school students
now learn how they can use
mathematics to determine how much
profit a business can anticipate, or in
the social sciences how to predict the
behavior of a population.
Mathematics can be used to make
predictions from poker to politics,
from the stock market to the weather.

Housing Resource Board
Holds Workshop Here
. The Housing Resource Board of
Wake County, Inc., held an orienta
tion workshoip for minorities in
terested in real estate sales and pro
perty management recently.
The workshop was highlighted by
presentations on the advantages and
disadvantages of a real estate sales
career and on getting started in pro
perty management. The 23 par
ticipants attending the workshop
were also treated to anecdotes by
Robert A. Royal, a local
businessman, who spoke on his ex
periences as a successful part-time
real estate agent. Xavier Wortham, a
minority property manager with the
Phoenix Management Co., gave the
audience a minority’s viewpoint of
working in an area majority-owned
property management firm.
The headlining speakers, Susan
Holbrook of Howard, Perry and
Walston, Realtors, and Steve Tart of
Lincoln Developers, were charged
with giving the audience a thorough
orientation to the real estate sales
and rental management industry.
The group interacted well with the
speakers, showing a great deal of
curiosity and interest in both real
estate brokerage operations and pro
perty management. The objective
here was to screen out those par
ticipants whose considerations align
mnre with the disadvantages.
While no one was perceptibly
disinterested, several participants
were clearly beyond the scope of the
meeting.
Those participants feelings that th'
advantages outweigh the disadvan
tages will be offered additional train
ing through CHRB sponsored
workshops. The first of these
workshops, to be held Tuesday, Aug.
9, will discuss the many avenues of
securing suitable mortgage financing
for homebuying clients. Again, this
workshop will be hied in the offices of
the Raleigh Board of Realtors, 1301
Annapolis Drive.
Because of the high degree of in
terest in the property management
field, the CHRB is planning a more in
depth workshop to deal exclusively
with this field. Details will be made
available as plans are finalized. In
the works also is a workshop on real
estate math.
In its effort to increase minority
participation in the housing industry
in Wake County, the CHRB will be of
fering these workshops to assist the
minorities who decide to enter the in
dustry to be more successful.
Skirt lengths will range from
above the knee to the ankle this fall,
so choose your most attractive
lenath.
