Four staff members of the North
Carolina General Assistance Center pub-
lished four booklets during the 1976-77
project year. Operating under an annual
contract with the United States Office of
Education, the CenterTs mission is to aid
public school systems in North Carolina in
alleviating educational problems attendant
to classroom integration.
According to Dr. Clinton Downing,
Director of the Center, each publication is
designed to assist public school systems in
professional development of teachers and
administrators in areas of curriculum
improvement, community relations and
Staff training with respect to desegregation
on the basis of sex bias, sex discrimination,
and race.
Each publication has been shared with
school systems in North Carolina and State
Departments of Education in all states.
Requests for copies of each booklet have
been enormous.

How to Erase Sex Bias in Your
Classroom was published by Barbara
Ragland, Title IX (Sex Discrimination)
Specialist for the Center. The booklet is
designed in two parts. The first portion is a
checklist to determine if educators have
made progress in eliminating sex bias in
assigning tasks to students. The second
part is a compilation of specific activities
designed for use in classroom to raise the
level of consciousness among students as

Board Fails
To Act On
Renaming
By TIM JONES
Executive Editor
The ECU Board of Trustees failed to act
on the renaming of the Afro-American
Cultural Center (AACC) after Ledonia
Wright, deceased adviser to SOULS, in its
quarterly meeting this Spring.
This is the second consecutive time that
the issue was not included on the agenda
for the boardTs meeting.
James Tucker, Dean of Student Affairs,
Said that he could not imagine why the
resolution from SOULS, requesting the
renaming, was not mentioned at the meet-
ing.
Tucker, a non-member of the Board,
did acknowledge, however, that the board
had devised a special committee, in its
meeting last winter, to review the matter
and present recommendations.
According to Dalton Nicholson, former
SOULS President, the board had assured
him that the presidents of SOULS and the
SGA would each receive a letter, informing
him of the boardTs spring quarter meeting
and probable actions on the renaming.
Neither Neil Sessoms, SGA President,
nor Doneil Croom, SOULS President,
received such a letter.
Sessoms, who attended the meeting,
said that he did not remind the board of the
issue, because he knew nothing about the
SOULS resolution.
Recently installed in office, Sessoms
did not know Mrs. Wright or anything
about her work with SOULS, but said that
he would support the resolution, because
of the black studentsT interest in the
matter.
~~As far as ITm concerned, you can call
it (AACC) anything you want to,TT he
commented.
Sessoms said that he would contact
Troy Pate, chairman of the board, as soon
as possible to find out about the issue.

Recall
By TIM JONES
Executive Editor
ECU Chancellor Leo Jenkins sent a letter to Ricky Price,
Speaker of the SGA Legislature, last week officially cancelling a
recall election.
According to Jenkins, Neil Sessoms and Reed Warren, SGA
President and Vice President should not have to defend their right
to hold office, by a recall election.
Jenkins said that the new offices were properly elected, and the
election by plurality stands, as the offical act of the Elections
Committee and the administration.
As chancellor of the university, Jenkins has the right to override
any decision by the legislature that he feels detrimental to rights of
any students.
| hope that with JenkinsT decision the conflict that has plagued
our student government will immediately cease.
Asa supporter of Tim Sullivan and the recall election, | feel that
the students should put away their hostilities toward our new
executives and begin to work with them, aiding them in running a
successful administration.
Personally | believe in Tim SullivanTs ~~Students FirstTT policy,
and | am impressed with his actions in office. He was and is my
choice for SGA President, but JenkinsT word is the final word, and
oer ce losing team, need to begin working on behalf of the
students.
During the past few weeks tempers have soared on both sides,
each person believing that his opinion was right. Members of the
legislature, SGA and FOUNTAINHEAD have been slandered,
threatened and extorted.
As long as such childish instances continue to occur our SGA
will remain handicapped.
The war is over. Sessoms and Warren are in office for the
remainder of their terms, and those who have fought so hard to
defeat them must out of loyalty to their positions and the students,
work with the new student executives to provide an effective
student government.
sessomsT supporters have claimed that the new _ student
president could not work well with the hassles of the opposing
forces surrounding him.
Now is the time that these binds should be released, and the
students will know for sure if they have elected a competent
president.
We (EBONY HERALD) will not hesitate to help Sessoms in any
way possible to carry out programs in the studentsT behalf. Neither
will we be reluctant to criticize actions that we or the student body
_ may deem as unfavorable.

Speaker Criticizes
Jenkins Vetoes FOUNTAINHEAD
RICK Y PRICE
Speaker of SGA Legislature
By TIM JONES
Executive Editor
Ricky Price, Speaker of the SGA
Legislature, denied accusations of mis
using his office, and criticized FOUNTAIN-
HEAD Editor Jim Elliott for printing mis-
leading articles and refusing to print
certain editorials, in an interview, Sunday.
Price, who has been attacked numerous
times in the FOUNTAINHEAD ~~ForumTT,
said that Elliott has abused the editorial
column by printing mainly articles, turned
in from students who agree with
FOUNTAINHEAD on the SGA conflict.
Price said that Elliott has on several
occasions refused to print letters from
members of the legisalture and Elections
Committee, criticizing his editorials.
Elliott also used the student paper to
campaign for SGA President Neil Sessoms,
Price said, by printing articles to politically
destroy former SGA President Tim Sulli-
van, who at the time was _ seeking
reelection.
Sessoms is the former Co-News Editor
of FOUNTAINHEAD.
~~Many students didnTt know that Neil
worked for FOUNTAINHEAD, and took
what they read as the gospel,T Price
commented. |
Price said that the legislature has
always been fair, and he has not attempted
to manipulate parliamentary procedure in
favor of either of the opposing sides.
He did say, however, that over three
fourths of the legislature are in agreement
on the recall issue, but it is not because he
has pushed them in that direction.
~~The legislature is the representative
body of the students representing student
ideas,TT Price commented.
He added that his actions, just as those
of the legislature, are on the behalf of the
student body.
Cadet Explains
ROTC Programs
By RICKY LOWE
Staff Writer
The ROTC program offers a consider-
able amount of financial assistance, with
no bearing on family income for eligibility.
An ROTC cadet can expect full payment
of tuition, incidental fees, textbooks, plus a
one hundred * dollar a month allowance
and payment of travel fees.
~~The ROTC program offers a man a lot
of leadership training ,and experience,�T
said Walter Hooker, an ECU ROTC cadet.
~It?s well worth the time if in you're
interested in leading.�T
Hooker said that the financial benefits
are really good but he believes the
experience is a lot more valuable.
Hooker also stressed the fact that a
cadet will usually have an advantage over
the average person, because of the
reputation of training and discipline that
the 1. program has.
~~When people find out you were a
cadet, they automatically know you are
capable of leading,TT he commented.
~~They know you can work with people.
ROTC develops the character of a man and
shapes his future.TT
ROTC offers two programs, one for the
traditional four years and another for two
years.
Recruiting for the four year program
usually begins in high school, even though
candidates may apply after entering the
college or university of their choice.
A candidate for the program must be at
least seventeen years old (eighteen for
women), and he must be able to complete
' all commissioning requirements by the age
of twenty-five.
He must be a full-time student at the
institution that he will attend.
All applicants are required to pass an
ROTC aptitude test and medical examin-
ation.
After meeting these qualifications, the
student must satisfactorily complete a
six-week summer field training course at
an ROTC base.
The two year program or Professional
Officers Course (POC) consists of three
hours of classroom instruction and a one
hour leadership lap each week.
The POC is limited to rising juniors, to
be completed in the junior and_ senior
years.
~ The subject matter in the junior year is
concerned with the nationTs security
forces. In the second year the POC
concentrates on leadership arid manage-
ment problems, to prepare the student for
the professional and individual aspects of
commissioning.
Throughout the POC particular em-
phasis is placed on oral and written

Biack Crime In Greenville
BY IIMJUINES
Executive Editor
Local sources active in the black
community believe that economic and
psychological problems are the major
causes for high crime rates among
Greenville blacks.
Such crimes usually involve assault,
rape or larceny.
Court cases charging a black with
assault practically always involve a black
versus another black, according to Robert
L. White, a Greenville attorney.
White said that assault cases often
result from frustration due to job oppres-
sion and frustrations in everyday trans-
actions in the predominantly white world.
The victim of suppression, said White,
may release his anxieties by striking out at
his family and peers (other blacks), and
then may wind up in court facing charges
of assault.
Unemployment and poverty are among
the leading reasons that blacks commit
larceny, the most common offense affect-
ing whites in Greenville, according to
White.
~~More thefts are committed interracial-
ly, because blacks have nothing to steal,�T
White said.
Many blacks are arrested for the use of
drugs, especially marijuana. -
_ The sentences for possession and use of
marijuana are not as strict, White said,
now that it isas popular among whites as it
is among blacks.
White accused the:County Courts of
being discriminatory, implying that the
courts give heavier sentences to blacks
involved in interracial offenses than to
blacks who commit crimes against other
blacks.
~~The average black who kills another
black gets less time than another black who
assaults a white,TT White said.
Many black youths fulfill their needs by
committing crimes, and many do not
consider their actions wrong, said Mrs.
Eve C. Rogers, Pitt County Family Court
Counselor.
Rogers, who works mostly with black
and white juveniles, said that black youths
faced with court prosecution are usually
from culturally deprived homes and feel
victimized by society.
Rogers said that, with some exceptions,
most black juveniles do not blame racial
situations for their problems.
Usuaily uisy feel that this is the way it
has to be, because it has been this way for
generations,TT she noted.
~~We are careful not to look at juvenile
delinquency asa whole, but view each case
separately,TT she added.
The purpose of the juvenile court is to
serve the needs of the child, Rogers said.
The delinquent act is secondary.
Rogers said she has observed many
instances of discrimination in adult court,
but claimed that little racism is found in the
juvenile program.
Several juvenile judges here are
attentive to the socio-economic situation of
a child, Rogers said, and this results in
discrimination.
Children from well-to-do families get
more lenient tratement than those children
(usually black) from impoverished homes.
Judges often feel that a child of
educated parents who own a comfortable
home will receive the necessary rehabilita-
tion at home, Rogers said.
~*On the other hand, a child from a poor
family goes before the judge, and he (the
judge) feels that we. have to take care of
this situation here,TT she commented. ~~He
won't receive any guidance at home.�T

nomic Situations Influence
merchant and a local minister, said the
reasons why blacks become involved in
crime lie mostly within themselves.
~In the first place they donTt have
Christ in their lives, and they have no
purpose for living,TT Thorbs stated.
Thorbs, who operates his florest shop in
one of GreenvilleT s black sections, said that
many of the cityTs young blacks refuse to
work and are willing to get by in the world
in any way possible with no consideration
for infringing on the rights of others.
Thorbs said he has realized that many
young blacks are involved in drugs, a habit
they cannot afford.
Church attendance among black youths
in Greenville is poor, according to Thorbs.
He estimated that 60-65 per cent of the
areaT s young blacks are not church goers.
Many of the churches in the black
community are lacking in their attempts to
appeal to the young, Thorbs said.
However, some churches here _ initiate
programs such as sports teams, rap
sessions, and fellowship dinners to attract
youths.
The main problem between the church
and the youths, Thorbs feels, is that the
churches invite young people in and give
them no responsibilities.

WITN Hires Black
Program Director
By JOYCE EVANS
Features Kditor
When Henry Lee, former master
control engineer, was recently promoted to
program director at WITN-TV, Washing-
ton, he became ~~a first.TT
Lee, a 22-year old black man was hired
at Channel 7 last April. And now, for the
first time in eastern North Carolina, race
did not prevail.
The handsome young man speaks with
a slight northern accent and is seemingly in
control of himself in every way.
Lee admitted that in high school, he
wasnTt really interested in communication.
But then he entered Shaw University,
Raliegh, to major in business. He became
interested in radio and TV and changed his
major.
LeeTs credentials for employment are
numerous, for he set out to learn
everything he could and to accept anything
that challenged him.
He was program director at WSHA, a
student run station in Raleigh and one of
the top collegiate stations in the country.
Lee said he enjoys directing because he
has more responsibility and it is a daily
challenge.
~*Even though you know the work, you
can still make the same mistake,TT he said
thoughtfully.
~~On the larger market scale, it
(directing) is more difficult.T
Lee worked as a news correspondent for
Mutual Black Network News during the
Joann Little trial.
Several months ago, Lee attended the
annual conference at Howard University.
Lee said the conference is for minorities
who are interested in communications.
Their aim isto give minorities an idea what
to expect in the broadcast job market,
briefing them on what goes on in the
industry.
The conferences are long and take up
much of oneTs time, but they are
fon and interesting, according to
ee.
At the conference, Lee talked to several
employers and recruiters from universities.
He had several good offers, but the one
initiating plans to further his education
appealed to him more.
Next August, Lee will attend Marquette
University, Milwaukee, to get his masters
in broadcasting management.
He has accepted a teacherTs assistance
from Marquette. Lee said it is a real good
deal, for he will be working in a major
market.
HeTll be getting free tuition and pay
plus, itTS another challenge for him.
Thinking of how little money he has
worked for to get the experience he now
has, he philosophizes.
~DonTt be too proud to work for free,�T
he stressed.
Lee tried to do everything he could, but
he said he was not much interested in news
because he was not a ~~get out and walk the
beatTT person.
He prefers working behind the scenes.
He doesnTt necessarily wish to be on the
air. Yet he has worked as a DJ. Believe it or
not, he worked for a country western
station in Durham.
Lee said he worked from 12 to 5 a.m.
He did a half hour talk show, played
country music, gave the news, had a
two-way line conversation with people on
the air, talked to truck drivers on the b
radio, and then more music.
Lee said he enjoyed that too. Anything
that challenges this ambitious young man
seems to delight him.
If thatTs the way to bright lights, Lee
will shine, shine, shine. He has already
covered a tremendous territory since his
birth in Mullins, S.C. and his growing up in
Bridgeport, Conn.
~~From Connecticut to North Carolina
and from North Carolina to Milwaukee.
And then, who knows?T said Lee.
