KALENA EVERETT, MISS NATIONAL TEENAGER
The Black Vote
In the view of these elders, it is
blatant self-interest that draws
thig new black professional class
to the Republican party in the
1980's.
The likelihood of a change in
this picture is slight. Class
stratification among blacks in-
creased dramatically between
1970 and 1985. And the latest polls
indicate that the gulf between the
black underclass and middle
class continues to grow.
The ultimate irony may lie in
conservative RepublicansT
failure to realize that the pro-
grams are determined to abolish-
those aiding qualified minorities-

more fortunate black voters

message for Afro-Americans in Winston-
Salem: That only a spiritual rebirth can
Fair, who pulled no punches during
his keynote address at the NAACP Free-
dom Fund Banquet, said that a lack of val-
ues is Causing much of the trouble in
Afro-American communities. That com-
bined with the devastating effects of
racism, Fair said, have caused Afro-
Americans to lose touch with the force
that guided their enslaved ancestors.
- "We're the only group of people who
continue to make progress but still
remain behind," said Fair, the director of
the Urban League of Greater Miami.
"That has nothing to do with racism, It
has to do with values -- ours. As we
shout for joy, remember the one thing
missing in 1988 that was present in 1716,
is that there was a God we respected.

The Greenville Community Shelter to
provide basic needs for the homeless
The Greenville Community
Shelter, located in the multipur-
pose building at the old Agnes
Fullilove School, opened January
11 of this year. The primary goal
of this church supported program
is to provide shelter and other
basic needs to the homeless of our
community.
The shelter, staffed totally with
volunteers, opens its doors each
night at 9:00 p.m. During the next
hour people of all description
(black, white, young, old, male
and female) enter seeking a dry,
secure place to lay their head for
the night. When they enter they
are given a mattress and bed-
ding. A local restaurant provides
soup each night for the shelterTs
guest. Shower facilities are
available as well as an opportuni-
ty to obtain adequate clothing. In
the morning the two volunteers
who have spent the night awaken
first place in
state contest
Brown finishes
the guest and provide coffee and
donuts for breakfast before clos-
ing the shelter at 7:00 a.m.
Currently, the number of peo-
ple the shelter serves averages
about 22 each night. Nearly 75
people have been seved at the
Greenville Community shelter
~since tts openitig:? Over thirty
local churches and organizations
have provided volunteers and
other support for the operation of
the shelter. Only a few of these
are a part of the black communi-
ty of our city.
Looking ahead there are some
exciting things happening at the
shelter. Working with Communi-
ty Action, job counseling will be
made more readily available to
those who stay at the shelter.
Working with Mrs. Mary Outer-
bridge of Pitt Community Col-
lege, education counseling as well
as some basic education classes
will also be available on site at
the shelter. The volunteer staff of
the shelter will also soon receive
training in how to help the
homeless obtain help from other
helping agencies such as the
Department of Social Services
Security Administration.
As this article suggests there
are many good things happening
at the Greenville Commmunity
Shelter but your help is needed.
The Greenville Community
Shelter was established and
designed to be a community wide
project. This means there is a
place for everyone in our com-
munity in helping the homeless
and the helpless. The shelter
especially needs more black
leadership and participation.
The shelter is managed by an
executive committee which gains
their direction from a Board of
Directors made up of represen-
tatives from all the churches that
support the shelter with
volunteers, money, or supplies.
Here is an excellent opportunity
for the churches in our communi-
ty to learn how to work more
closely together.

tion on how you, your church or
your organization can become in-
volved in the Greenville Com-
munity Shelter call any one of the

WELLCOME MIDDLE SCHOOL
AND MR. MONTY FRIZZELL,
TEACHER, SOCIAL STUDIES
Mayor Ed Carter spoke to the
Wellcome Middle School student
body on March 14 about his early
childhood, stressing education.
Although he was poor, he finish-
ed high school as valedictorian.
Receiving a scholarship to
Virginia State College,
Petersburg, he was awarded a
B.S. Degree with a major in
physics. He then served 81/ years ,
in the army, receiving an
honorable discharge in 1971. Then
he applied for a job with Bur-
roughs Wellcome. He has been
promoted many times.
Mayor Carter has served on the
City Council and the Board of
Education. The point he wanted
to get across to us was the value
of an education. He wanted
students to be determined and to
perserve in order to be sucessful
in life. Additionally, he wanted us
to try to improve in our studies,
amking better grades, and be
aware that nothing but our best
will lead to a good education.

HOW TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC
BY BEATRICE MAYE
Eloquence is a gift not many
are born with. Yet all of us can
learn to speak with sincerity,
simplicity and directness.
At some moment in our lives,
most of us are called upon to
make a speech, at a town
meeting or community function,
a graduation exercise or even a
family gathering. Yet, few of us
do it well. Either we get up and
talk unprepared, stumbling over-
words, or we overtalk, boring our
audience. All of us know that we
could have done better, but we
~just arenTt much at public
speaking.?T
The are, however, simple steps
we can take to bolster this impor-
tant means of communication.
Planning is probably the most
important. We may have a
grating or squeaky voice, our
choice of words and grammar
may not be exactly right; but if
we give serious thought to our
speech and build it properly, we'll
be successful.
The basics of speechmaking
are simple. Know your audience
and what role you will play. Get
a theme. Research it. Make notes
if you must. But do it using key
words that will bring entire
sentences to mind. Practice
before a mirror. Make the speech
before your family, if possible,
and ask for their criticism.
And remember, the next time
youTre upon to speak in public:
Have humor, be sincere, be brief,
be seated

alcoholics in America.?T

LOWER BACK PAIN

STRIKING/HITTING WOMEN _
BY BEATRICE MAYE
Striking/hitting any woman is
a cheap shot. ItTs cowardly. If I
could change the world, one of the
first things I would do is get rid
of the creeps and cowards who do
it any way. From the ~News and
ObserverT, Wednesday, February
17, 1988.
HELPING OUT
BY BEATRICE MAYE
For people who bring food to
the family of a deceased person,
bring food on paper plates,
aluminum plates or any
disposable dish. The family wonTt
have to worry about returning the
dishes. If you do put the food in
a dish, be sure to write your name
on it clearly. DonTt use your best
dishes! Family and friends are
nervous enough without worrying
about breaking a special dish.

OUNG MEN
BY BEATRICE MAYE
ooYoung men, you are not a
man because you make a baby.
You are a man if you raise that
baby, provide for that baby, and
young woman, young men cannot
make babies by themselves.TT"
Jesse Jackson
THE BLACK CHURCH
BY BEATRICE MAYE
~o~The Black church is the most
efficient way to reach the people.
There are more of them there at
any given time than anywhere
else,? said Bishop Adams, Chair-
man of the Congress of National
Black churches.

~Married women do not cheat.
Married men do cheat.TT Oprah

GOOD NUTRITION
BY BEATRICE MAYE -
Good nutrition, well-chosen
dietary supplements, exercise,
stresscontrol"these and other
things can be extremely impor-
tant in both maintaining health
and fighting disease.
GROWN-UPS
BY BEATRICE MAYE
It takes a real grown-up to be
a good parent. And some men
never really grow up.
MARRIAGE RISKS
BY BEATRICE MAYE
Some men are not good mar-
riage risks. They come from
broken homes. Real fathers donTt
want their children to do the
same.
CHILDREN
BY BEATRICE MAYE
You can leave a bad marriage,
a bad job and a city where the sun
never shines. But children are
forever.
REAL FATHERS
BY BEATRICE MAYE
Real fathers miss the ~o~Good-
night Daddy.?
FOLLOWING THE CROWD
BY BEATRICE MAYE
ThereTs nothing inherently
wrong about following the crowd
if we pick the right crowd. Con-
formation to the world is where
the danger lies, for the world is
heartless and unfaithful to its
friends. ~~Be not conformed to the
world,? Jesus said, ~~but be ye
transformed by the renewing of
your minds.?
BABY PLAY PENS
BY BEATRICE MAYE
LetTs caution parents abaut
play pens. If the play pen is put
together with screws, be sure to
tighten each one before and after
every use. If one gets loose and
baby stands on the side and
shakes the slats, eventually: a
screw may fall out. Baby may
see it and put it in his/her mouth
even swallow it. A little effort
may well be worth a precious life.
SMOKE
BY BEATRICE MAYE
If you smoke, youTre not likely
to lose hearing when you are ex-
posed to loud noises.
MEATS
BY BEATRICE MAYE
Pick low-fat meats for broiling.

this country, Fair said that there
were "5,000 people who looked
~olike me" that were explorers and
_| Settlers before being enslaved by
oColonists. He charted the progres-
sion of Afro-Americans through
the Civil Rights Movement, which
he remembered as a time when
_., We marched wherever they would
| BlVe us a permit to march, Then we
said, ~Marching ain't enough.T We
need to sing while we march. We
sang and we shouted and we shout-
ed while we marched and they still
~treated us like niggers. ...then we
aid, 'No more. We're going to burn
: this country down.T All over the
United States we burned. We
burned in Watts, we burned in
Chicago, we bumed in Washing-
ton. We started a little fire in Win-
,ston-Salem."
Fair said that a retrospective
Often serves as a blueprint for the
present and the future. The racism
of the past, he said, is not dead, but
that, in light of the past, it must not
be tolerated. Driving his point
oHome, Fair referred to an article in
a recent issue of the Winston-
Salem Chronicle which reported
the activities of a local white man
- who had been charged with mak-
_.ing repeated threats against his
Afro-American neighbors.
"I say to you that while racism
does exist, we will not tolerate it. I
say to Eugene Campbell, let me
-move into your house and let me
think that Mr. McHone is going to
hold me hostage because I don't
look like him,? said Fair, a Twin
z
City native. "I will do all the things
most white men fear coming from
me. I say to you, I ain't no nigger
and, in 1988, you will not treat me
like one. I say to you that while
racism is not dead, if it raises its
ugly head around me, it will be."
Fair said that many of the
problems within the Afro-Ameri-
can community are caused by the
failure of the residents to monitor
activities in their own communi-
ties. He said that the breakup of
Afro-American families, poverty
and unemployment are only symp-
toms of the true culprit of the dis-
proportionate crime rate in Afro-
American communities. Fair said
that in Miami, a group of citizens
united and attended the trial of a
known drug dealer to give testimo-
ny against him and to encourage
the judge in the case to exercise the
maximum sentence possible.
"Drugs are in our communities
not because they put them there
but because we let them stay," Fair
said. "Until we rise up and say to
the drug dealers, who look like us
and not like them, that we're not
going to tolerate it anymore, they
will stay there. When we take the
leadership in cleaning up our own
communities, we can expect others
to."
Scoffing at Afro-AmericansT
dependence on white America for
liberation, Fair said that "people
who look like me" must begin to
rely upon one another for help. He
said that as Afro-Americans pre-
pare to move forward they must

first turn their attention toward
developing relationships with one
another and then begin to go about
the tasks of economic development
and empowerment.
"As long as you believe that
white people who put you in this
mess can get you out, you'll still be
in this mess when I come to sce
you again,? said Fair.,"The time for
us to separate ourselves from any-
one except those who can help us
has come."
But Fair cautioned against
expecting an Afro-American
entrepreneurial class to blossom
overnight. Rather, he said, it will
take time for young Afro-Ameri-
cans to learn to think in terms of
entrepreneurship just as they have
had to take time to learn other
things.
Fair concluded his address to
the banquet audience with a glance
to the future waming Afro-Amen-
can males that "you are in trouble
and unless you are prepared to do
something about it, there's not
going to be any need for you by
the next century."
Fair said he based that obser-
vation on the fact that by 1999, 72
percent of all Afro-American
households will be headed by
females, leaving only 28 percent of
the male-headed households intact.
He noted also his concern that in
his own community it is not unusu-
al for a young Afro-American boy
to complete a full day of activity
without ever coming in contact
with a resnonsible Afro-American

"A litle black boy can get up
in the morning and see only his
mother, get on the bus, which,
because of affirmative action pro-
grams, probably has a female driv-
er, attend classes with female
teachers and go to lunch where the
cooks and servers are female and
then come home again to a house
headed by a female,? he said. "He
can go from kindergarten to high
school and never see a responsible
black male and then it's the wrong
black male. Black men have got to
understand that our roles and
responsibilities have got to change.
Part of our responsibility is to look
at what's happening to little black
boys.?
Part of the Afro-American
agenda for the future, Fair said,
also must include a political agen-
da that will allow them to "have
access" to political candidates.
That access, he said, can only be
gained by contributing financially
to the candidates of their choice.
But all roads to future
progress for Afro-Americans, Fair
said, lead in one direction.
"There is no problem that
you've got that you cannot resolve.
If we want to make some real
progress, it is left up to us," he
said. "Progress that is going to be
made by us is based on our ability
to trust, work with and cooperate
with each other. There is no prob-
lem that black Winston-Salem has
that it cannot solve. Your destiny is
in your hands."

Fighting smugglers
south of the border
HY CAN'T THE U.S: GOVERNMENT control the
We of illicit narcotics from the jungles of Latin
America to the sidewalks of New York? The an-
swer begins with a Colombian saying: Plomo o plata. Lead
or silver. Bullets or bribes. A little message from the drug
kings. They deal heavily in both quantities. ThatTs whatTs
made the war on drugs in Latin America pretty much a one-
sided battle to date.
Take Colombia. Cocaine is big
money there " bigger than any oth-
er kind of money the Colombians
can get their hands on. ColombiaTs
legal exports bring in $5 billion a
year. The same amount that coun-
tryTs drug traffickers clear in co-
caine sales. During that same
time, the U.S. sent a measly
$11.5 million in foreign aid. Who
do you think pulls more weight?
When judges send the smugglers
to jail, they respond by shooting
Rigi the judges. More than 20 to date.
And more than a hundred cops.
Mexico, another major offender, is the largest exporter of
heroin and marijuana to the U.S. Investigators also believe
that somewhere between 40% and 75% of Latin AmericaTs
cocaine passes through Mexico before entering the U.S.In *
Mexico, says one drug expert, oyou could countthe number = ;
of corruption-free law enforcement officers on two hands.? ":!
What worries many officials trying to put together a co-
herent anti-drug foreign policy is the prospect that well-
meaning anti-drug measures may turn out to be counter-
productive. What about cutting off foreign aid to major
drug-supplying countries? Will they stiffen their. resolve=
or sign themselves over to the drug kings outright?
Even interdiction is trickier than it looks. A recent study
by the Rand Corp. suggests that when the feds seize drugs,
the supply goes down"while the demand remains con-
stant. That pushes the price up, giving the smugglers a
greater incentive to work harder and smarter.
N: MATTER HOW WELL THE U.S. manages to con-
trol the drug smugglers, it wonTt be good enough. Ac-
cording to Robert Stutman, special agent-in-charge
of the DEATs New York office, you could get enough opium
to supply all of the heroin addicts in the entire U.S. from 10
square miles of poppies.
Drying up the supply side completely, then, is an impossi-
ble task. In the end, the real solutions to the U.S. drug prob-
lem must come on the demand side. But without a coher-
ent, generously funded attack on supply, demand will stay ,
high. Leading to more addicts. And more dead cops. bY
What works? The answers aren't simple. But there are |.
two things to remember.
l Make Tem suffer. Drug smuggling isnTt a crime of pas-
e sion. ItTs a cold-blooded business run by cold-blooded
businessmen. Send them to jail. Seize their assets. Eventu-
ally a lot of them will take up another line of work.
2 Save the sermons. When countries try to cooperate,
¢ cut the finger-wagging. Save the sermons"and the ,
sanctions"for the ones that laugh off the drug war. Drop
the diplomatic hammer on Bolivia. Mexico. The Bahamas.
The U.S. has a moral obligation to try to reduce the de-
mand for drugs nationwide. But it also has a moral obliga-
tion to try to cut off the supply of dope at the source. The
lives of the children depend on it.

Hearns CanT
By Joe Tintle
Thomas Hearns is the only boxer to have won
world titles in four weight divisions. Even so, he is
frustrated.
He is frustrated because he has never had a re-
match with Sugar Ray Leonard or Marvelous Mar:
vin Hagler, the only people to beat him
At a news coriference yesterday in Manhattar
the 29-year-old Hearns announced his ups
WBC middleweight title defense against
(Blade) Barkley (24-4 with 14 knockouts) on June 6
in Las Vegas. He talked briefly about Barkley
knowledging the veteran from the Bronx had
great left hook.T But it was clear Hearns, who
46-2 within 39 knockouts, would like to
Hagler or, preferably, Leonard
In a national publication recentl;
tled HearnsT four world championships. oHH
fourth title,? Leonard said, ~~but letTs be honest
didnTt fight [anvbody]. If that makes him feel bigger
than me and Hayler, fine. HeTs the onl
lieves it.?
Said Hearns:
guys who weren't even rated
comers
~I don't see how Ray can under
rate me. Look at the people he fought. He fought
ITve taken on al!
be higntiy
y one who de
}
~Why wonTt he fight me? Why wasnTt he my [oppo
nent] for my fourth title instead of Juan Roldan?T
Hearns knocked out Roldan in 2:01 of the fourt}
round for the vacant WBC middleweight title on Oct
o7
29, 1987. ~oThereTs nothing left for me to prove,?T he
said. ~History has been made.?T
But Hearns still has to prove something to him
self. The losses to Leonard and Hagler gnaw at him
In 1981, he outjabbed Leonard until Leonard un- et
corked a smashing hook that sent Hearns reeling into t
the ropes. Hearns was ahead on all cards when refer- up
ee Davey Pearl stopped the fight at 1:45 of the 14th He:
round. Four years later, Hagler stopped Hearns in the
third round.
~~T want these guys again,T Hearns said yesterday
oItTs a burning feeling inside, almost a hate-type said
thing. I donTt like to feel that way, but I want to do unt
terrible things to them

ATLANTA -- Black Roman
Catholics came of age with the
appointment of Bishop Eugene A.
Marino as Atlanta's archbishop,
according to some of his fellow
bishops, his new parishioners and
other black religious Icaders.
"It's a wemendous blessing for
the people of Atlanta and for the
entire American church, since he
becomes the first black archbishop
in the history of our church,? said
Bishop Carl Fisher of Los Ange-
les, a fellow native of Biloxi,
Miss., who as a youth attended
Marino's first mass as a newly
ordained priest. Fisher is the auxil-
iary bishop in charge of the San
Pedro region.
"He is a real sign of the true
coming of age of black Catholics
today," the 42-year-old Fisher said

of staff member, a live in
caretaker, fringe benefits,
utilities, equipment, and
maintenance.
The HUD grant will provide
$25,000 or 50 percent of this cost
and the remaining $25,000 will
have to be raised locally. Of this
we can identify $8,000 per year
from client rental fees plus agen-
cy support of client rents. That
leaves a total of $17,000 which
must be raised locally as mat-
ching money. It is for this sum
that we are now in the process of
fund raising.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION
In October of 1987 the Center
bought a property previously
owned by the school board and
used as a elementary school. This
property is 96,000 square feet of
land representing an entire city
block, on which stands two
buildings. The larger building
was a former school classroom
building and is of two floors, each
being 7,000 square feet in size.
The smaller building is a school
cafeteria/activity building and is
6,000 square feet in size. The
overnight shelter is currently
located in the activity building,
and it is proposed that the tran-
sitional housing program be
located in the larger classroom
building. In this building there
are 13 large classrooms, each
between 700 and 800 square feet
in size. We propose to utilize eight
of these rooms, dividing each to
create two small apartments. "
Each apartment will have a
bathroom and toilet, a small kit-
chen area, and a single sitting
room/bedroom. The program
will be located on the upper floor
and part of the lower floor of the
building and will be handicap ac-
cessible. It is anticipated that a
single homeless individual will
occupy each apartment, but they
may also be utilized by couples
when necessary. In addition,
THE GREENVILLE COM-
MUNITY LIFE CENTER
The Center was formed in 1987
for the purpose of developing
resources for the homeless. Since
its formation, the Center has
become incorporated as a non-
profit organization and applied
for tax exempt status. The Center
was able to purchase the current
property from the past owners in
October of 1987 and is currently
paying off a short-term debt that
was incurred in the purchase.
Following purchase the Center
supported the development of a
second organization, the o~Green-
ville Community Shelter Incor-
poratedT, headed by two
members of the CenterTs Board,
Rev. Sam Loy and Rev. Dan Nug-
gle. With the support and
Shelter Board obtained financial
backing from many churches,
other organizations and in-
dividuals, as well as an emergen-
cy shelter grant. With these funds
the activity building was
renovated and opened in January
of 1988 as an emergency over-
night shelter.
A large number of churches
and civic clubs have volunteered
to provide night time staffing,
and currently groups have sign-
ed up for four months of
coverage. There are two
volunteers who sleep at the
Center every night, a total of ap-
proximately 200 individuals thus
far. This commitment is in-
dicative of the breath and depth
of support that the program has
received from all sections of the
Based on this degree of sup-
port, the Center now proposes to
go the next step in this program
for the homeless and provide a
more long term housing option
for those who have the potential
for becoming independent.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Center is governed by a
Board of Directors composed of
the following individuals:
1. David Ames, Chairman of
the Board; Physician, Medical
Director of the Pitt County Com-
munity Mental Health Center.
2. Dennison Garrett, Jr., Vice-
Chairman; Assistant Vice-
President for Guest Relations,
Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
3. Joseph Chalovich,
Treasurer; Biochemist, Assistant

connecting doors so that they
may be utilized by families when _ Ce
needed. There wil! not be any "
central cooking and eating facili-
ty but rather each resident will
have his own cooking area and be
responsible for their own food
preparation. The one apartment
will be reserved for a live in
caretaker, and one will be reserv-
ed as a common room office
area.
The building has been
thoroughly inspected by a builder
and realtor, and found to be in
good condition and well suited for aa
these purposes. With the planned ok
repairs and rehabilitation it will
provide a satisfactory housing
resource at a very low cost.
It is anticipated that the re-
maining space not utilized for
transitional housing, will be put =e
to use in some other program for
the rehabilitation and care of a
homeless people.

Dansey speaks
to Ayden Rotary
Club recently ©
Bill Dansey, candidate for:
the State Ninth Senatorial
District and a member of the
East Carolina University of
Trustees, told the Ayden Rotary
Club that our educational leaders
need to realize, as well as: the
general public, that we no longer
compete within our state system
or a national system but, our
students now have to compete
with students around the world.
Educational standards need tobe
drastically improved, not only in
our primary, elementary, secon-
dary levels and higher education
but in our pre-school programs.
Dansey said he was glad to see
that the dollars have been com-
mitted through the basic educa-
tidnT plan but he does not agree
with the manner in which they
are being spent. He said too many
dollars are allocated to ad-
ministration and not enough for
the pre-school program. Dansey
indicated that by the year 2000,
30% of our population will ~be
minorities and by that same date
50% of our entry level jobs will re-
quire a college education. We will
have somewhat of a dilema on
our hands unless we act quickly
and make some hard and fast
decisions to provide a foundation
for all our students. ;
Dansey indicated one way to do
that is to have an incentive pro-
gram in order to make sure that
the part of our population that
has not received at least a high
school education are encouraged
to do so and that their children
are enlightened as to the need for
proper education in order to be
able to enjoy the good life as'the
American citizenry has come to
know. "
Dansey also indicated that we
have a lack of male role models
in our schools and that is primari-
ly brought about due to the salary
structure. He indicated the
thought that entry level teaching
jobs ought to be at $22,000 per
year and a 12 month contratt;
with the other two additional
months being used for up-dating
teacher certification and teacher
knowledge, as well as par-
ticipating in summer school pro-
grams for the students who do rot
achieve the necessary academic
levels during the regular
academic year.
At the same time, Dansey in-
dicated that in comparison ~to
other nations with which we com-
pete in the world economy, our
school year is far too short. Our
school year runs an average of
187 days and the Japanese spend
240 days in the classroom.
Dansey feels it would be
beneficial for our students ~to
start spending more days in the
Classroom; especially if we went
to a 12 month contract for all our
teaching professionals.
Dansey indicated that there: is
no easy solution and that we need
to start treating the results of the
problem. We have a tendency :to
take a bandaid approach to real
difficult problems and we needito

The Black Vote
: political persuasion. The younger
people take for granted that the
fivil rights are there, and I think
rightly so. Now they are in-
terested in taking advantage of
_ those civil rights like the rest of
America. They are slowly putting
economic rights on the front
_ burner, because they assume the
civil rights battle has been won.?
. , The forget-the-past attitude of
,new-minted black professionals
is, by their criticsT reckoning,
shelping to cut the cable of the
bridge they themselves so recent-
_4y crossed. Those critics com-
plain that this new middle class,
having won some concrete and
_ hard-fought personal battles, is
mistakenly assuming that it has
_won the war.
oIn the last six years there has
. been a ~me-firstT attitude,TTcon-
cedes Thornton, who speaks as
part of that younger generation.
oBut I see a change, at least
among my peers. There might be
a sort of guilty feeling developing
in this country among young
:professionals-a feeling that says
~Yes, I did these things that were
selfish last year, but this year I
should do something new. On the
- other hand, how do you put that
~into a commercial? ItTs so
nebulous an issue that I donTt
think any campaign will really
_ deal with that. Most will focus on
the yuppies, showing them as an
active, upcoming group. But both
parties are going to break their
necks to reach them.?
' . Targeting black professionals
on an economic level is no great
leap for the Republican cam-
paigns now shaping up. The true
test of GOP effectiveness will be
their ability to tap into the
frustrations that older and less
_affluent blacks are feeling within
the Democratic party. As Garret
puts it:
oIT suppose logically youTd say
Republicans could (simply) go
after the young professional
-black who drives a BMW and
.neyer went to a segregated
school. But...the older black man
who may work in a kitchen by
day and is a janitor by night, and
his wife, who may be a domestic
worker, are the parents of a
«young MBA from Wharton. And
they have just as much concern
about conserving what they have
--worked for. They want a safe
~street so they can walk out at
night. They want a quality educa-
- tion for their grandchildren. They
want social security secured. So
thereTs no real difference here.
. The problem with Republicans is
- that they have got to learn to go
-, where the people.are.?? .,,.:;
soi» There is.no denying that the
, Republican party has had a
,, masterful control of both image
-, and symbol in this decade-a point
conceded by Walter Mondale in
, 1984 and a distinct advantage in
this television age of quick
_ response to image. In the last na-
tional elections, Republicans
were consistently able to project
an image of its supporters as
society's winners. Americans
may sympathize with underdogs,
but they identify with
.thoroughbreds. Would ~~Bill
Cosby? be the number one show
_ if he were protrayed as a man on
welfare? No. Many young profes-
., sional blacks are ready to iden-
_ tify themselves as winners.
~aje This basic bit of psychology
-has so far escaped the
- Democrats. The old coalition of
. the disenfranchised clearly
equated the party with AmericaTs
«underdogs in 1984. In an age when
_ material wealth is foremost in
peopleTs minds, the association is
. self-defeating. Consider, for ex-
support for welfare programs,
which plays right into the
negative image that an increas-
ingly conservative America
disdains.
Thornton addresses another
aspect of the perception problem.
oThere is a misconception in this
country that all blacks are doing
poorly, but itTs just under a third
that fall below the poverty line.
The rest of the black population
is made up of hard-working
working-class Americans,
another group thatTs rising; and
still another that has always done
well.?
Bradley believes the GOP is on
the brink of becoming the majori-
ty party for the first time in its
history. ~~But I also believe it
wonTt become the majority par-
ty until it reaches out and in-
cludes within it some reasonable
number of every constituency.?
The fact that Republicans have
recognized their problems with
blacks, both real and perceptual,
and are willing to address those
problems is a leap forward for
them.
Their interest is more than
academic. Political strategists
predict that if their party could
attract 15 to 25 percent of the
black vote, they could at last
realize their long-sought goal-to
take over the House of Represen-
tatives. They are also painfully
aware that inept appeals to black
voters in 1986 may have cost
them their Senate majority.
A full quarter of the
Democratic vote in the 1984 elec-
tion was black. But politicans
have begun to realize that the
black community is not a
homogeneous one-an advance on
the rhetoric of the sixties.
Sophisticated polling techniques
make this a different kind of elec-
tion. Republicans will use their
considerable polling expertise to
speak directly to different
segments of the black population.
Many in the new class of pro-
fessional blacks want to be ad-
dressed on economic issues and
foreign affairs in a manner that
acknowledges that they are
capable individuals rather than
part of an anonymous bloc vote.
Furthermore, there is a per-
vasive sense among blacks as a
whole that their voting power is
greater if both sides have to com-
pete for it. All of this could spell
trouble for the Democrats.
If the Democratic party doesnTt
work for the black vote or if it ig-
nores Jesse Jackson as it did in
1984, they could pay a heavy
price. ~~Some of the Democrats
are falling behind the
Republicans,T in terms of the
visibility of blacks in their cam-
paigns, observes Garret. ~~The
Republicans are stumbling all
over themselves to mend fences
with black voters, and the
Democrats are trying to back
away. Maybe even more so
because of the ~Jesse fac-
tor, which we are going to use.
The mistake they make is that
1988 is going to be a different kind
of year. The Republican
nominee, whoever he is, will not
have a hostile record on civil
rights, so that is not a significant
factor. Secondly, I know Jesse
Jackson very well and I
guarantee he will not go quietly.?
Thornton will be one of those
strategists overseeing
Republican campaigns in 1988.
oThough most blacks will pro-
bably line up behind Jesse
Jackson, he will probably not get
the nomination. So Republicans
want to be in a position to take ad-
vantage of a voting bloc that is
energized and wants to get in-
volved. Honefullv. our candidates

will have programs and will be
saying things of interest to that
community, whoever the
nominee.?T
One must remember that these
are committed Republicans
speaking-happy to diagnose
DemocratsT liabilities and
RepublicansT assets. Country-
club Republicans have their own
pariah in fundamentalist
minister Pat Robertson. Com-
bating an image problem among
blacks, he kicked off his cam-
paign in the heart of Bedford-
Stuyvesant, New York, amid a
chorus of act-calls. But the at-
tempt to build bridges to the ur-
ban black community-however
received-was significant in itself.
As for the Democratic fold,
Jackson is already viewed by
some Democrats as a o~spoilerTT
within the party. If he stays in the
race all the way to the conven-
tion, analysts estimate he could
garner as much as 25 percent of
the vote, making it extremely dif-
ficult for any other candidate to
attract the 50-plus percent need-
ed to nail the nomination. Some
have referred to the DemocratsT
~o~Jackson problem,? in much the
same way insensitive politicians
used to refer to the ~~Negro pro-
blem?T in the 1950Ts and 1960Ts.

rhetoric about ~~new ideas,? they
are still playing from the same
old deck. Like some insecure

guilty card with the black

Republicans should say is ~Yes,
you ve arrived! YouTve made it!
Look at our candidates. We have
things that are of interest to you!T
The questions are: Can the
Democrats offer blacks more
than nostalgia and guilt? Can the
Republicans overcome decades
of old-fashioned ill-concealed in-
difference and hostility to the
poor and to blacksT needs and
desires? And will their appeal to
self-interest attract enough
blacks to make the effort worth
their while?
Fasten your seatbelts. ItTs go-

(Continued from page 6)
Awards were presented in
three areas. The first series of
awards involved the Math,
Writing and Airplane Construc-
tion competition for the 8/9 grade
levels. (Total scores were obtain-
ed in the three areas with scores
in Math and Writing accounting
for 40% each and the score in
Airplane Construction accounting
for 20%.) The second award, us-
ing the same criteria was
presented to 10/11 grade levels.
The third award was given to the
Quiz Bowl, which was for grades
10/11 only.
Of the more than 400 students
present representing more than
15 separate school systems, Pitt
County made a terrific showing.
A team comprised of 8/9 graders
from Pitt County, won the
Math/Writing and Airplane Con-
struction competition. A second
team comprised of 10/1] graders
from Pitt County was runner up
for the same competition on their
grade level and the students par-
ticipating in the Quiz Bow! were
runners-up, losing by only 10
points.**
The experience was truly ex-
citing and worthwhile. The
students were all very well
behaved and were praised for
their outstanding conduct. Please
take time out to express to them
the pride that we have for their
accomplishments and to com-
mand them for their outstanding
display of enthusiasm,
cooperativeness, and well-
mannered behavior.

Transitional housing program
for homeless individuals
developed by the Greenville
Community Life Center
SUMMARY
The Greenville Community Life
Center proposes to develop in
Greenville a transitional housing
program for individuals who are
currently homeless but who have
the capacity to become indepen-
dent and self-supporting follow-
ing a period of stable supervised
housing fund supportive services.
It is proposed to develop this pro-
ject as part of the overall plan of
services for homeless _in-
dividuals, to compliment the cur-
rently existing overnight shelter.
The property currently owned
by the Center will be renovated to
provide 14 apartment units in-
cluding 2 handicapped accessible
units. The Center will employ a
full-time supervisor/manager
who will operate the project and
be fully responsible for the ser-
vice. Their major responsibility
will be to assist the clients to par-
ticipate in rehabilitative and
training programs that will lead
to independence. One focus of the
program will be meeting the
needs of persons who have been
deinstitutionalized with mental
disabilities.
The Center will apply to the
department of Housing and Ur-
ban Development (HUD) for a
grant to complete the renovation
and operate the program. The
Center is in the process of seek-
ing local funds to match the
operational grant, a total of
$17,000 per year is required as
match.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Transitional Housing Pro-
grams are designed to provide an
intermediate level of care and
housing for individuals going
from total dependence to in-
dependence. It is designed for
that portion of the homeless
population that could become in-
dependent given a period of
stable housing and supportive
services.
Since the emergency overnight
shelter was opened in January of
1988, the utilization has rapidly
increased so that at present there
are usually 20 to 25 individuals
there on any one night. In addi-
tion, there is a undetermined
number of people who endure
primitive or abusive situations
within the community for want of
any alternative; they find
themselves stuck and unable to
make a change. Lastly, there are
individuals who are currently
maintained in institutional care
who with assistance, would be
able to obtain independence and
self-care. The transitional hous-
ing program is designed for these
various groups.
Research in other parts of the
country have demonstrated that
the homeless suffer from a high
incidence of mental illness and
alcoholism. Data from New York
and Philadelphia indicates that of
the population using shelters and
soup kitchens, 40 percent are
mentally ill, 20 percent are men-
tally ill and substance abusers,
and 20 percent are substance
abusers. In addition, among the
homeless are found individuals
who are temporarily
unemployed, those who have
temporarily lost their home for a
variety of reasons, as well as an
increasing number of women and
children. To meet the needs of
these individuals the Greenville
Community Life Center acquired
a property in Greenville in Oc-
tober of 1987, and created a
emergency overnight shelter
which opened in Januarv of 1988.
We now wish to move beyond pro-
viding overnight care and
develop a more comprehensive
and long term approach to the
needs of homeless individuals.
The Transistional Housing pro-
gram will allow us to provide a
small efficiency type apartment
for single individuals or families
who are unable to find housing
elsewhere. Clients will be able to
stay in these apartments for up to
18 months and during that time
will receive the ongoing counsel-
ing of the project supervisor.
Every effort will be made to
enroll clients in those supportive
services necessary to help them
become independent such as in-
come maintenance programs,
medical treatment, mental
health and substance abuse
rehabilitation, work training and
vocational rehabilitation. Since
most of the program costs will be
covered by grant funding, we will
be able to serve individuals who
at the time of application have no
income and are not necessarily
enrolled in Social Security
Disability or welfare programs.
These are the individuals who
find it most difficult to obtain
stable residential care and who at
the same time have most poten-
tial for rehabilitation.
The role of the program super-
visor will be to control the overall
operation of the program, to
manage the physical plant, to
evaluate and identify acceptable
clients, to provide supportive
counseling to them and to assist
them in accessing needed addi-
tional services. As clients move
towards independence the
manager will help target a date
for them to leave the project and
to become fully independent
HUD GRANT
Congress developed a much
enlarged homeless assistance
program in 1977 which set aside
funds for provision of overnight
emergency shelters and addi-
tional services to homeless peo-
ple. One of these additional ser-
vices is the Transitional Housing
program which we now seek to
develop. The Transitional Hous-
ing program will provide up to 50
percent of the cost for
rehabilitating the structure and
up to 50 percent: of the cost for
operating the program. HUD will
commit to funding the opera-
tional grant for five years and re-
quires that the program continue
for an additional five years. If
these requirements are met, no
repayment of the grant is
required.
The HUD grant requires that
the program commit to serving
individuals with a mental han-
dicap, particuarly individuals
who may have received institu-
tional care in the past. It is re-
quired that at least 75 percent of
the clients fall into this category.
The other 25 percent may come
from many other category of
homeless individuals.
BUDGET
1. Renovation Cost. Plans are
presently being prepared by an
architect and will be submitted to
a builder to obtain definite pro-
jections for the cost of
rehabilitating the facility.
However preliminary estimates
indicate that the cost of
renovating the building and pur-
chasing equipment will be
$110,000.
