Conference To Address
Growing Ethnic Groups
A firm commitment to multi
cultural education, computer
literacy, and classroom management
has been made on both the state and
national levels. As we approach the
1990s, our population across the na
tion will have definitely changed. The
Hispanic population will be the
largest ethnic minority. Other
minority groups will make up well
over 30 percent of our nation’s
population. In addition, we know that
currently today, according to the
Children’s Defense Fund, one of three
black males will die by the age of 18.
These statistics will no doubt be
reflected in our puhlic_ schools,
Educators have been trained to deal
primarily with those students who fit
the norm, yet, each day they face new
challenges because a significant
number of their students do not fit the
“textbook type." Therefore, the Divi
sion of Education at Elizabeth City
State University will address these
concerns with a fall conference.
Consultants from across the nation
will present workshops on varied
topics of interest to parents and
educators.
Registration for the workshops is
$10 and certificate renewal credits
will be offered.
The keynote address will be
delivered by Dr. Courtland Lee,
chairperson of the Counselor Educa
tion Department at the University of
Virgbiia, and Dr. Patricia Larke of
Tens A&M University. Dr. Lee is
ni<m editor of the Journal of Multi
cultural Counseling and Develop
ment and president of the Association
of Multi-Cultural Counseling and
Development. In addition, Dr. Lee
has developed a program for adoles
cent malm titled “Black Manhood
Training: Body, Mind, and Soul.”
The program featured in this month’s
edition of Ebony Magazine will be
delivered at the conference. Dr.
Larke has delivered several

heterogeneity in the classroom.
In addition, consultants will deliver
addreses on computer utilization in
the classroom, classroom manage
ment, the Padeia Proposal, etc.
Dr. Boyce C. Williams, director of
teacher education and student
teaching, states that in education we
tend to be reactive as opposed to pro
active. Elizabeth City State Universi
ty is taking a proactive position and
attempting to “ready” its students
and teachers for the 1990s.

Minorities Account For
Most Qf New AIDS Cases
CHICAGO, IU. (AP)—Minorities
accounted for most of the new AIDS
cases reported in the city during
August, health officials report.
The Chicago Health Department
recorded 51 cases during August,
down from 84 in July. Of the 51, 35
were minorities and 16 were white.
The minorities included 19 blacks,
14 Hispanics and two Asians.
Health Commissioner Lonnie Ed
wards said last Thursday that addi
tional educational, prevention and
treatment measures must be directed
toward minorities.
Officials say the decrease of 33
cases in August does not necessarily
mean the epidemic is developing at a
slower pace. That’s because the
number of cases is partly based on
the examination of old death cer
tificate.
ii a oeain some tune ma m umy
now identified as having been caused
by AIDS, this case is added to the
current month’s toll. With many
researchers on vacation, fewer old
cases were added during August, of
ficials said.
To date, 1.SK people with AIDS
have been reported in fhirafs since
recording began in HU. Of theae, Mt
have died.
AIDS, or acquired Immune defi
ciency syndrome, destroys the body's'
defenses against disease, leaving a
person prey to Ufa-three toning infec
tions fwi certain cancers.
The virus that causes the incurable
and fatal syndrome Is behoved to he

course, shared hypodermic needas'
